Question & Answers Regarding Ct DCF Investigation
Questions and answers for regarding Connecticut DCF investigations. A social worker is contacting you because the Department received a report that your child may have been abused or neglected, or may be at risk of being abused. State law
(Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 17a-101) requires DCF to investigate all reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. The social worker will want to talk to you about
the report and your child well-being.
Who reported my child as abused or neglected?
Anyone – a friend, neighbor, family member, or stranger can make a report of suspected abuse or neglect. Any reporter may remain anonymous. However, the reporter identity may be disclosed under certain limited circumstances. Some professionals are required by law to report suspected abuse or neglect and are called
mandated reporters. Mandated reporters include teachers, physicians, nurses, social workers, police officers, mental health counselors, clergy, daycare workers, and
other professionals.
Why would a report be made?
Children are reported for a variety of reasons. Mandated reporters, for example, must contact the Department if they suspect a child:has been neglected, which means the child has been abandoned, is being denied proper care and attention,
or is being permitted to live under circumstances which harm his or her well-being;
has non-accidental physical injuries; has physical injuries that are inconsistent with an
explanation of the injuries; has a condition resulting from maltreatment, such as
malnutrition, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, deprivation of necessities like food, clothing, shelter, and emotional maltreatment or cruel punishment; and is placed at imminent risk of serious harm.
Children have a right to be safe from these conditions.
What happens when DCF receives a report regarding my child? Each accepted report of suspected abuse or neglect is assigned to a social worker who is responsible for conducting an investigation. It is the social worker responsibility to investigate the report and determine if ongoing DCF involvement is required.
Who will the social worker talk to?
First and foremost, the social worker will talk to you, your child(ren), and other family members. It is important to hear from you so the Department can offer help, if needed,
to your family. The social worker will contact physicians, teachers, daycare staff, baby-sitters, neighbors, relatives, or other people who have first-hand knowledge of you and your child(ren). You may also suggest others who you feel have information concerning your child. In certain situations, the worker may contact people without the
parents consent. The police must be contacted if the report indicates sexual abuse or serious physical abuse or neglect.
Does the social worker have to talk to my child?
Yes. The social worker must see and talk with your child, and will need to see and talk with other children in the home. In certain circumstances, the social worker may talk with your child before contacting you. He or she may talk with your child at school or at daycare.
What if I don't want to talk to the social worker?
DCF encourages parents to cooperate with an investigation. This provides parents with the opportunity to tell their story. You can choose not to speak with the social worker,
but the Department is still required by law to investigate the report. If DCF believes your child is in immediate danger of serious harm, we will contact the police and, if
necessary, file a petition with the court to see your child.
Will my children be taken away from me?
The great majority of children served by Ct DCF remain at home with their parents. DCF'S goal is to keep families together whenever possible. When support services are
needed, your social worker will help arrange them. There are times when it is determined that the risk to a child's safety requires out-of-home placement. Connecticut DCF may authorize a child's removal if there is probable cause to believe that the child is at imminent risk of physical harm and that immediate removal is necessary to ensure the child's safety. An emergency administrative removal is called a 96-hour hold. The parent should receive in writing the reason for the Departments actions and the legal basis for the removal. Within 96 hours after such removal, the Department must seek an Order of Temporary Custody (OTC) from the Court if it is necessary to maintain the child in out-of-home placement. If that is the case, you will be entitled to a Court hearing within 10 days and have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, the court will appoint one for you. Your child(ren) will be represented by an attorney as well. When a child must be placed in out-of-home care, DCF's
goal is his or her safe return as soon as the family situation is determined to be stable and safe.
What happens after an investigation?
If DCF finds that your child has not been abused or neglected, the report is unsubstantiated.This means that there is insufficient evidence to prove that your child was, in fact, abused or neglected. Many "unsubstantiated" cases are immediately closed. However, DCF may determine that there are risk factors present that warrant keeping the case open to provide services to you and your family.
If DCF finds that your child has been abused or neglected, the report is substantiated, and your case will most likely remain open with DCF for services. Your social worker will then work with you to develop whats called a case plan. The social worker will discuss the services you can receive and how DCF will work with you to improve your family's situation.
If a child has been seriously abused or neglected, or sexually abused, DCF is required to refer the case to the police. At times, Ct DCF'S involvement begins after a call from
a police department to help investigate a situation involving children.
Can I disagree with the Departments finding? Yes. If at any time you disagree with a finding of substantiated abuse or neglect, you may: Request in writing a review of the finding addressed to the area director. If you disagree with the results of the review, you can request an administrative hearing. You are not required by law to talk to the social worker during the investigation. But if you choose not to say anything, the hearing officer may not be able to consider your side of the story at the administrative
Corruptct Comments: If a social worker or a investigator from The Department of Children and Families calls you, or shows up at your home, you do not have to speak to them, or sign anything such as medical releases You do not have to let them in your home. The best thing to do is call a DCF defense attorney and, get advice.
Speaking to a DCF social worker or DCF investigator, only gives them information to use against you. Even if you have nothing to hide, they have a history of twisting words and putting statements in that were never said.

The past summer has been an incredible time for charitable giving in the Spokane region.
First, Saturday, Sept. 29, Dutch Bros gave $1 from every $2 medium drink toward Cat Davis, a 25-year-old Spokane resident suffering from scleroderma. A second fundraiser was held just last week for Davis where all of the area Papa Murphy's locations donated $3 from every family size pizza purchase.
Of the initial $175,000 goal, around $86,000 was raised to help pay for the cost of a stem cell transplant in hopes of saving Davis' life. After being denied insurance coverage twice, the Northwest Medi...

You're looking at a car that Lexus spent millions developing for racing but one that hasn't turned in a wheel in anger. The Lexus LFA GTE was ready for the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship season but never made it to the track because parent company Toyota didn't want to dilute the group's efforts when they were preparing to return to Le Mans.
The LFA GTE was put through its paces at Valencia in May 2011 and spent a lot of time being developed in windtunnels but, although there were plans to run it in Germany in the VLN series where customer teams could compete in it at the Nurgburgring 24 Hours, it has never been raced. Lexus has developed various set ups for the car, including one for the sprint races found in the FIA GT Championship, so perhaps there will be a future for the machine.
If it ever makes it to the track it will be able to compete at the front. Power comes from a 475bhp V-10 engine that develops 413lb-ft of torque. It's attached to a six-speed transmission that helps get the power to the wheels to propel the machine to a 186mph top speed.
We're not sure if the release of these images means that the project is being revived or not, but some of the development work carried out on the car has helped the Japanese luxury car maker to class honours at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring with customer team Gazoo Racing.

In the United States, addicts and abusers spend $64 billion annually on illicit drugs, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). Experts in law enforcement estimate that over 60% of the revenue used to feed addiction comes from crime. Money also comes from family members, unaware that their life savings are disappearing.
In 2009, one out of three drivers killed in motor vehicle crashes who were tested for drugs, had tested positive for at least one prescription medication or illicit drug, according to ONDCP.

Rachel from Cleveland, Ohio
Hi, my name is Rachel, and I'm an alcoholic and an addict. Today, I have 11 months of sobriety, and life has gotten so much better since I got sober! But before that happened…
My partying began in middle school, when I started to feel awkward, out of place, and extremely nervous. It wouldn't be until years later that I found out that the nervousness was actually panic attacks. I remember having a few friends over for a sleep over and sneaking beer and wine coolers out of my parents' basement fridge out for us to pass around and enjoy. I don't consider this as my "first drunk."
My first drunk was the summer before high school started. I had been dating a boy, who lived about 45 minutes away from my house, but my mom would drive me out there, and he would take me home sometimes. He was older than me, and I thought I was "in love." When he broke up with me, I was devastated. I didn't know what to do to get rid of the feelings I was feeling, to stop the tears from rushing out of my eyes. So, I decided to get drunk. I chugged down about 5-6 beers and wine coolers, plus some cooking sherry (here's a recommendation: don't try that at home, or ever) within maybe an hour, an hour and a half, and I was hammered. I thought I had learned a valuable lesson though, alcohol fixed my problems; it was my best friend, my shoulder to cry on, and would carry me through my rough patches. More ...

Top Story of the Month
Is Marijuana Addictive?
According to research, the National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that long-term marijuana use can lead to addiction: Difficulty controlling drug use, and cannot stop, even though it interferes with their lives.
An estimated 9% of people who use marijuana will become dependent on it. The number goes up to about 17% in those who start using young (in their teens) and to 25-50% among daily users.
Moreover, a study of over 300 fraternal and identical twin pairs found that the twin who used marijuana before age 17 had elevated rates of other drug use and drug problems later on, compared with their twin who didn't use before age 17.
According to the 2010 NSDUH, marijuana accounted for 4.5 million of the estimated 7.1 million Americans dependent on or abusing illicit drugs. In 2009, approximately 18 percent of people aged 12 and older entering drug abuse treatment programs reported marijuana as their primary drug of abuse; 61 percent of persons under 15 reported marijuana as their primary drug of abuse.

What is in this article?:
- Corn production slashed — soybeans next shoe to drop?
- Global stocks coming down fast
• USDA dropped projected U.S. corn yields by a stunning 20 bushels per acre in the report, to 146 bushels, and lowered U.S. corn production from 14.79 billion bushels to 12.97 billion bushels, which puts the 2012-13 stocks-to-use ratio to 9.3 percent.
• It could get worse.
• The critical time for soybeans lies out ahead of us, particularly from about July 15 through Aug. 25, when those soybean plants are flowering and trying to reproduce.
More About:
Global stocks coming down fast
Bower noted that global stocks of corn "are coming down and coming down fast."
Bower says end-users and producers should "not get sidetracked on today's numbers, rather keep your focus on weather and the direction of crop ratings, especially for soybeans. We are in a very tight global situation for soybeans and there is no room for further yield reduction on the U.S. crop.
"The critical time for soybeans lies out ahead of us, particularly from about July 15 through Aug. 25, when those soybean plants are flowering and trying to reproduce."
USDA lowered projected U.S. soybean yield to 40.5 bushels per acre in the July report, down 3.4 bushels per acre from the June estimate.
"The current heat wave hitting U.S. soybeans, following a smaller South American complex this year, may actually mean that global soybean, soybean meal and soybean oil supplies may have to be rationed in the months ahead," Bower said.
Bower expects soybean end-users to step in and aggressively buy breaks in soybeans, "especially if they sense that the July 15 through Aug. 25 timeframe looks inflammatory. But I don't think they have much choice if they want to have inventory."
Rationing of soybeans, Bower said, "will reduce crushing below year-ago levels in the July through December time frame. Soybeans will become the market leader once we get past this report."
Bower noted that current forecasts for continued hot weather, especially in the western Midwest, threaten to make a bad situation even worse.
"We may see a situation where 50 percent of the U.S. corn and soybean crops will still be under stress. Even though we've had little relief short-term (with some rainfall), we need a general soaking rain through a great portion of the United States.
"That includes the spring wheat country where hotter, drier temperatures have really taken a toll."
Bower said USDA's projection of spring wheat production at 435 million bushels "can decline further based on what I'm seeing from weather forecasts. It also appears that a significant portion of the former Soviet Union is under moderate to severe stress. So we have two places in the world where the spring wheat number is grinding lower."

Wayne Dupree, host of the Wayne Dupree Show, NewNinja2012, and on-air personality and producer with FTR Radio reported on Monday that he was called a "House N***er on his twitter account by a Twitter user named "Killer Bunny Foo".
Foo also told Dupree to "F**k Off".
Dupree said, "I got a tweet on my twitter feed that I had to look at twice and ponder what to do, I really did about this one. Before I could take action, I had many people stepping up and answering for me. I wasn't asking for support, but I appreciated everyone that spoke up for that type of in-justice from another human being that doesn't know anything about me."
Dupree presented the snapshot of the tweet on his NewsNinja2012 website.
"The many of you probably feel some type of anger when looking at a message like this. But then some of you might not feel anything, as for me, I feel nothing. Because I know who I am, I know where I came from and I know where I want to go," Dupree said.
"People that put out messages like this try to stop our conversation. They try to stop the momentum of what we are doing in winning this country back for constitutional conservatism and we can't afford that now which is why I decided to do a radio show last night at the last-minute, which I added to this post."
Dupree spoke about the incident on his radio show.
Dupree said, "But you know, race, here in America right now… I have said this before, the only separation we should have is the lines that separate states… we are all the same people."
As of this writing, Twitter user "Killer Bunny Foo" account no longer exists and Dupree also stated that one of his followers and friend has a twitter name that closely resembles "Killer Bunny Foo" but is not the same person.
In related news, Bert Atkinson Jr. of Independent Journal Review did a report last week on how liberals view black conservatives where racial epithets are commonly used against black conservatives.

Sunderland 2 Southampton 2
by Stuart Vose
Johnson strike caps Black Cats' comeback.
Adam Johnson blasted home a super second-half equaliser as Sunderland showed their fighting spirit once again to cancel out a two-goal deficit against Southampton.
The visitors were ahead through Jay Rodriguez inside four minutes and it looked like the Black Cats had a mountain to climb when Dejan Lovren nodded in just after the half-hour.
But Fabio Borini made a vital breakthrough with his fourth goal of the season just a minute later, before that man Johnson blasted a 71st-minute effort into the roof of the net to secure a share of the spoils.
The strike was Johnson's fourth in two games following his hat-trick in the win at Fulham with the winger coming up trumps again, also adding an assist for Borini's goal.
Despite trailing by two goals to an impressive Southampton side, Sunderland refused to admit defeat and the way they responded with two clinical finishes will be another big plus point for Gus Poyet.
The head coach has now seen his side lose just one of their last 10 games in all competitions and they showed they were bang up for the fight once again.
Poyet made two changes to the team which won 4-1 at Fulham, with Jack Colback and Steven Fletcher missing out to accommodate Seb Larsson and Jozy Altidore.
But the hosts got off to a difficult start with the visitors taking the lead after just four minutes.
Rodriguez found some space on the edge of the area and took a couple of touches to settle a bouncing ball down before dispatching a fine low finish past Vito Mannone and into the corner of the net.
With Southampton enjoying plenty of possession, Sunderland struggled to get going and Jack Cork came close with an ambitious 45-yard lob which cleared the crossbar after he picked up on a hurried Mannone clearance.
The visitors should have doubled their lead 21 minutes in as Morgan Schneiderlin knocked the ball into the path of Rickie Lambert to the right of goal, but the striker pulled his angled drive inches past the far post with Rodriguez racing in but unable to touch the ball home.
Rodriguez got another sight of goal just before the half-hour, going one-on-one with Mannone but seeing the Italian keeper claim his low shot as he opted for placement over power.
But the visitors did break through two minutes later to take a two-goal lead. A corner from the right arrowed into a dangerous area and Lovren sneaked in front of Wes Brown to scythe a shot into the far corner past an unsighted Mannone.
It seemed a solid lead with the visitors well on top – but Sunderland replied within a minute to claim a key foothold.
Johnson – enjoying some of the best form of his career – was the architect, curling a lovely angled ball into the box for Borini, who controlled, took a touch and beat Artur Boruc with the Saints defence looking for offside.
Borini showed good technique to wrap his foot around the ball and find the corner from a tight angle, having started the move with some neat approach play and a crossfield ball before racing, undetected, into the box.
The timely goal elicited a response from Sunderland, but the hosts couldn't make further headway before the break and Mannone pulled off a good save to claw away a curling free-kick from Lambert in injury time.
Sunderland looked brighter at the start of the second half but the visitors remained dangerous and Mannone fielded long-range efforts from Luke Shaw and Adam Chambers before denying Rodriguez on the break just before the hour.
The Italian was busy, also stopping Jose Fonte's header from a corner at close range and going full stretch to tip away a powerful effort from Shaw.
Poyet made his move just after the hour, introducing Colback and Craig Gardner off the bench in place of Larsson and Lee Cattermole.
The hosts thought they were level moments later when Borini raced clear to finish well past Boruc, but the Italian's celebrations were cut short by an offside flag, with the assistant referee making the correct decision.
The ball was in the net again 19 minutes from the end – and this time it counted.
Ki's crossfield pass was helped on by Gardner to Johnson who did the rest, surging past Shaw on the outside and lashing an unstoppable shot through the hands of Boruc and high into the roof of the net.
It was an emphatic finish bursting with confidence from the winger, who has now scored five goals in his last four games and seven overall this season.
Searching for a winner, Sunderland threw on Fletcher and he came close just two minutes later as Gardner's shot was blocked and ran for the Scottish striker, who couldn't force the ball home from a tight angle.
Johnson – looking to get forward at every opportunity - also saw a low drive from the right-hand edge of the box saved by Boruc.
Proceedings were delayed late on as both Lovren and sub Gaston Ramirez – both injured in separate incidents – were stretchered from the field in some pain in the final few minutes of normal time.
Seven minutes were added on for stoppages, but a header from Marcos Alonso, gathered by Boruc, was as close as the hosts came as they were left to reflect on a hard-earned point.

AA Badenhorst Family White Blend
Product SKU # 542-0084
It would be easier to list what isn't in this wine, rather than what is, but here goes: Chenin Blanc (33%), Grenache Blanc (14%), Verdelho (14%), Roussanne (11%), Viognier (7%), Semillon (7%), Grenache Gris (6%), Clairette Blanche (5%) and Colombard (3%). If you are reaching for a calculator to make sure the numbers add up to 100, then this probably isn't the wine for you. This is a relaxed wine for those fixated on fun not figures. To make a tuneful melody from so many disparate elements takes a clever conductor and Adi Badenhorst has his orchestra playing in wonderful harmony. Cool, understated peach and nectarine vie with lively citrus and sour honey flavors in this full-bodied, intriguing, complex wine that will age beautifully for another 5-6 years.

No Taxation without Information: Deterrence and Self-Enforcement in the Value Added Tax
Dina Pomeranz
NBER Working Paper No. 19199
Tax evasion generates billions of dollars of losses in government revenue and creates large distortions, especially in developing countries. Claims that the VAT facilitates tax enforcement by generating paper trails on transactions between firms have contributed to widespread VAT adoption worldwide, but there is little empirical evidence about this mechanism. This paper analyzes the role of third party information for VAT enforcement through two randomized experiments among over 400,000 Chilean firms. Announcing additional monitoring has less impact on transactions that are subject to a paper trail, indicating the paper trail's preventive deterrence effect. Tax enforcement leads to strong spillovers up the VAT chain, increasing compliance by firms' suppliers. These findings confirm that when evasion is taken into account, significant differences emerge between otherwise equivalent forms of taxation.

The awakening and drive types have been detailed in "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution." According to a report from Explosion on May 25, the video game was apparently featured in the London MCM Con. One of the characters that attendees got to try out is Kakashi, the teacher of Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.
When using the awakening type, Kakashi has a regular transformation in addition to a more powerful "true" form. He would become more powerful and use new moves under these scenarios. When using the drive type, he can be seen inquiring the help of another character, which is Might Guy in this case, in order to use special defensive and offensive maneuvers.
Kakashi has been playable since the first game in the "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm" series. On the other hand, CyberConnect2 decided to expand the roster list even more in the upcoming title with the inclusions newcomers such as Iruka Umino, Konohamaru Sarutobi, Kushina Usamaki, Mecha Naruto as well as the members of the Akatsuki.

From Grand Theft Wiki
The Bobcat is the trusty pick-up truck that is featured in all the GTA III era games, and is based off of the original pickup truck grom GTA I. It can drive fast, has a two person capacity, with great torque, however it takes a long time and a good straight and long road to get to full speed. It handles well on rough terrein, and can be used for mild or medieum offroading. On San Andreas this car lacks the possibility to be upgraded and is thus availabe in only several colors, and one configuration.

I'm a newcomer to Ubuntu (and linux in general) and since I have a machine spare, I have Ubuntu Server (terminal only) installed on one of my machines. I've recently started playing around with my dotfiles, however it seems I've messed something up as changing directory to '~' no longer presents me with the expected user's home directory!
The .bashrc file that's in my dotfiles directory then points to a ".env" file at ~/bin/dotfiles/.env which contains the following:
export EDITOR="nano"
export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
export home="/home/joe/"
export dotfiles="/home/joe/bin/dotfiles"
Does anyone have any ideas to restore the tilde to my user's home location?

Brief Introduction:
Tieling museum is the comprehensive museum of local history, which was invented by national government and run by the local government. Its floor space is 7,000 square meters but its building area is 6,800 square meters. The main architecture of Tieling Museum is the exhibition building with three and half a floor above the earth and one underground, which has four exhibition halls, 4,000 square meters. The museum includes other establishments, academic report halls, service department, collection storerooms, security service center, etc..
The museum owns more than 5000 collection items, most of which are unearthed relics from the north part of Liaoning. Rare collections can be found here: bronze Yue of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, hollowed-out bronze ornaments of West Han Dynasty, the inscription of the tomb of Xiao Yi who was prime minister of Bei Prefecture in the later periods of Liao Dynasty, etc..
Tieling Museum sets two permanent special exhibitions: the exhibition of historical relics of North Liaoning and the exhibition of Tieling's local history. The former, with the development process of North Liaoning as the main line and unearthed relics as the base of the show, reproduces nearly ten thousand years of local social production and living conditions, and truly tells what great cultural achievements the people in North Liaoning have made in different historical periods. The latter, with typical specimens, products and models, pictures and data information and so on, comprehensively and generally shows what natural source and products Tieling has, what historic treasure Tieling owns, and in what direction Tieling's material and spiritual civilizations will develop; it also shows the visitors the power to build that the people in North Liaoning here have and the rosy picture of sustainable development of the place.

If you find yourself in a foreign country in your dream, most likely it reflects a waking circumstance that is new and uncomfortable to you. Today's young dreamer struggles to find her way and her dream offers some guidance.
Dear Carolyn,
My family moved and I had to change schools this year. We live in a better place and the school is better too. I have new friends and it's all good, but I still feel insecure. I'm on the outside of a lot of inside jokes, if you know what I mean. Anyway, here's my dream:
I dreamed I was in the cafeteria with my new friends, but at a fancy hotel. The lunch line was picked over – not much to eat. I learned there was another lunch line on the other side of the cafeteria so I went there to get some water. But when I did, I separated myself from the group.
I was wearing stilettos for some reason and all of a sudden I was in a foreign city, maybe Rio de Janeiro. I can walk amazingly well in the stilettos, but kept being separated from the group. I kept going around the block, never getting to my friends. I always wind up on the side away from them.
The sidewalks were dangerous like an earthquake had broken them and they were not repaired. I was confused as to whether I should go straight or turn at an intersection.
I turned and an older man started walking with me. He looked kind of like my grandpa. He told me to sit with Lisa. She and I are going to be on a softball team together. I had probably overstated my softball experience, but that was okay. She said she would keep score.
New Kid at School
Dear New Kid,
Your dream reflects some of your emotions at being in a new school – circumstances foreign to you – like Rio de Janeiro would be. It's natural for you to want to fit in, while at the same time feeling separated from the group. Your dream shows you, in effect, walking on eggshells around them using the metaphor of stilettos on broken pavement.
It is hard being outside of the history they share; and they may be a little unkind when telling inside jokes around you. So maybe you even stretch the truth a little bit to impress them, as you did in your dream by overstating your prowess in softball.
Give yourself credit for walking this "dangerous ground" with skill. And, consider if this is the group you really want to hang with, Dear Dreamer. No matter what you do, you always wind up away from them. Must you always work so hard with true friends?
Your grandpa's advice is important to remember. From a picked over lunch line with few choices, he steers you toward Lisa. Her compassionate "softball" attitude is the key. Good to know she's the one keeping score.
Sweet Dreams to You!

Madonna: Brother Residing Under a Michigan Bridge
Posted by Native NYker in anthony ciccone, dlisted, homeless, madonna, the michigan messenger on October 24, 2011
As we pondered what to post this morning, while sipping on our morning espresso, we came on this tidbit by The Michigan Messenger (via DListed.) The article, although set to tell the story of the down and trodden flocking to Traverse City, redirects and finds a celebrity angle, ending with a focuses on our queen of all self-promotion and UES resident – yeah, that's right – Madonna, and her homeless older brother Anthony Ciccone.
The older Ciccone, 55, speaks of how his family "turned their back on [him], basically, when [he] was having a hard time."
Hmmmm. Pretty hard statement, we'd say.
"You think I haven't answered this kind of question a bazillion times — why my sister is a multibazillionarie, and I'm homeless on the street?" Ciccone offers as a follow-up.
We were thinking that as we read the sentence, we admit.
Interestingly enough, he offers very little in the way of providing the reporter an answer this time around. Or perhaps she purposely omitted it…
"Ciccone said he's been among the city's homeless for a year and a half since losing a job at his father's vineyard and winery in Suttons Bay. He said that it annoys him that some people are amused that a person from such a high-profile family would end up sleeping, as he does, under the Union St. bridge," writes Eartha Jane Melzer.
These are a fairly well-rounded assessment of the facts – clearly supported by the fact that he is presently the focus of a homelessness article – but little in the form of the details contributing to the cause.
So we are left to further digest DListed's assesment of the circumstances.
"We don't know what's really going on here," Michael writes. Pointing out that "Anthony was fired by his own dad. What kind of crazy fucked up do you have to be to get fired by the man who carried you in his nutsack once?"
This seems like a proper follow up question, we thinks… (What? Ain't nothing we can add to that assesment. We are still having our coffee, dammit! We ain't thinking of attempting wit this early.) Although we are left wondering why the holes in the story were left unplugged.

i figured this would happen... someday.

My intro paragraph to the Calling All Vegetarians (and Vegans)! Team Forum
My husband and I have been working on a healthy diet since October of last year (he took a little longer to get on board). We are tossing around the idea of cutting out red meat (to start). We don't eat much as it is in the line of red meat besides family/friend gatherings, mostly due to cost. He and I both work seasonly with the economy the way it is and we are coming up on a time where neither of us will have a job for a couple months. i'm back to my meal planning and shopping with a list vs my tossing stuff in the cart method. as i went through a cookbook and chose a week's worth of dinners and compiled my list, i found a recipe for barley stroganoff and thought it sounded great! i added the pound of ground beef to my list and thought nothing of it as i tossed it into my cart in the store. i figured one pound wouldn't kill me so i didn't really spend a ton of time thinking about the price of it. when i got ready to make this new recipe the next day, i saw the price tag and my jaw almost fell. i just paid over $5 for a little over a lb of 7% fat beef! that was ridiculous to me! Especially when beans are like $0.61 a pound. I pointed this out to my dh and he was in agreement. We don't NEED red meat. We've also been reading some articles lately about diet choices and health benefits. So.... we are going to try it. he says chicken and fish are still in but since i do the shopping and cooking.... i assume we'll be vegetarian soon. We want to start our own family as soon as God allows us and we are working hard to teach his daughters (12 & 6) about a healthier lifestyle. We want to be good examples of a healthy life when they are with us. we aren't quite there yet but we are working on it.
So ya... kicking around the idea of a meat-free life. I can't really see going vegan but if we notice a change in our health enough to warrant it, why not?
I read an article in my Clean Eating Magazine that really caught my attention. It was called, "My Family Affair"... ya that caught my eye. This isn't a smut/rumor mag, it's a healthy lifestyle mag in my opinion, so i started reading. The subtitle was, "one mom's journey to improve her family's life through serious clean eating". It was an eye opening article about a mom who took some radical steps to aid the health of her children and the amazing results. it was so encouraging! (i recommend reading it) She has 4 kids: 8 yr old with asthma and allergies to nuts, 5 yr old with autism, 3 yr old who's allergy free so far and a newborn.
To sum it up, when she cut out gluten and dairy from their diet she saw major improvements in her kids lives. Even her non-verbal, non-responsive autistic son, within 2 weeks, began responding to his name and speak words! Praise God!
I know that one of Mike's daughters suffers from asthma and the thought of her not having to deal with that made my heart beat faster. I want them and our future kids to have great and healthy lives. I want myself to have the same.
I think we'll start here and continue to move forward, pending the effects we see.

I have no doubt that you will see tremendously good results from cutting red meat from you diet and eating more "whole foods".
I know that Oprah asked everyone that worked for her if they would be willing to go vegan for a week. And almost 100% agreed and a good portion of them found that at first they were not keen of the idea but after they saw and felt the good results. Some decided to stick with it and have felt better.
So KUDOS to you for going for it. Some of the vegan recipes looks so good and tasty too.
Hugs, Anna

According to a Feb. 4 report from MMA Fighting, Pat Barry says he'll make his Glory kickboxing debut in May.
Barry, 34, recently left the UFC because he was sick of the wrestling aspect of MMA. He explained that he grew tired of defending takedowns and grappling, when all he really wanted to do was punch and kick.
To put it simply, he would rather hop in the ring and swing for the fences.
"My last few fights, it's just, something was missing. Something wasn't there," Barry admitted to host Ariel Helwani on Monday's episode of The MMA Hour. "There was just a bit of [aversion] to wrestling and grappling and having to defend takedowns, which is fine. I know that's the sport and that's what I signed up to do. But just the last few instances, the last few outings that I've had -- Shawn Jordan, Soa (Palelei) -- something was... anytime you can lose a fight and get up losing a fight going, 'Eh, well I lost. Alright, so what?' That's how I knew. It wasn't 'so what' that I lost, but there's something that just wasn't there. Something that was missing."
"It wasn't like, 'Good riddance, I'm sick of this. I'm out.' It wasn't that. It was almost like a sense of relief really. Like, alright, you know what, that was what I needed to able to make a solid decision. 90-percent of the decision was made right there. I've been wanting to do this for a while, but I just hadn't been able to bring myself to do it."
Barry says he has signed a two-fight deal with Glory, the world's premier kickboxing promotion. He'll be making his Glory debut this May. The date and host venue for Barry's fight has not been announced. It also hasn't been announced who he's fighting against.
"I'm finally able to go back into doing what I've been wanting to do since the beginning," Barry said. "I don't want anybody to hear that and think it sounds like (my thought process in 2008 was), 'Oh, kickboxing's dying. I guess I'll go and fight in the UFC.' It wasn't that. I was really excited about doing that. I pursued it, I made my way to it. I had some ups and downs in the UFC, but I was around.
"I enjoyed it while I did it as much as I could, but kickboxing is... that's where it's been for me since day one, since the beginning. I honestly, truly... that's what I love doing."
Barry said he never really believed he could be the UFC's heavyweight champ, but he does think he could earn a belt in Glory.
"I used to sit there and tell people, 'Man, Cain Velasquez is the best. He's going to be the champ. Nobody can beat that guy.' And people were like, 'Pat, what about you?' And I'd be like, 'Oh, yeah. Of course I can, but no one else can.' I didn't believe that, man," Barry said. "But do I firmly believe that I can be a titleholder in GLORY? Absolutely."

Mint Chocolate Cookie Crunch RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 3 packages (12 ounces each) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 1 package (20 ounces) chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies, coarsely crushed
- 4 cups crisp rice cereal
- Line baking sheets with waxed paper; set aside. In a microwave or heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips. Stir in extract. Combine cookies and cereal in a large bowl. Add chocolate mixture and stir to coat. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets; cool. Store in airtight containers at room temperature. Yield: about 8 dozen.
Reviews for Mint Chocolate Cookie Crunch
"Easy, quick and very good! I used two bags of ande's chips, one bag of choc chunk and 1 tsp of mint extract. Perfect. I would say it is more of a candy than a cookie. Big hit on holiday cookie trays!"
"So easy to make and delightfully delicious! I made them for Christmas to give as Christmas gifts and everyone raved about them. The taste reminds me of Girl Scout Thin Mints."
"Just made for a bazaar."
"I made this recipe for the first time but substituted the mint flavored chocolate chips for the regular chocolate chips and left out the mint extract. They are delicious and everyone loved them."
"This is easy to make, but not any more so than most no-bake cookies. And I found the taste to be fine, but nothing special. I do not plan to make these again."

Derek Mikulski is the founder and creator of ActivMotion Bar a dynamic at home workout for all fitness levels. After going through his own weight loss journey Derek wanted to create a program that could help others achieve weight loss goals.
Tell me a little bit about your weight-loss journey, when did you make the first step to living a healthier lifestyle?
My weight loss journey began in December of 2004 at the age of 19. By late 2005, I had lost 80 pounds, which motivated me to pursue a career in fitness. They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, and my journey to lose 80 pounds literally started with the first step onto my scale. I looked down and saw 260 lbs! My body was and is not meant to carry 260 lbs. I looked and felt awful. Then and there, I decided to make a change. As a trainer today, going through my own personal journey really helps me understand the struggles my clients face.
What was hardest challenge you faced in the beginning of your journey?
The hardest challenges I faced at the beginning of my weight loss journey were adhering to a fitness regimen and following a structured eating program that cut my food intake to half of what I was use to eating. And, I find lots of people share these same struggles. But, the reality is that the only way to do it is to do it. There are no magic shortcuts. There's disciplined persistence.
How did you mentally change your outlook on fitness and food?
For me, seeing those first few pounds come off helped mentally change my outlook on fitness and food. In my mind, the early results of my efforts validated that what I was doing was actually working. From that moment on, the concept of appreciating the results pushed me to stick with it. I kept believing (and seeing) that results would come if I stayed motivated and disciplined.
There is nothing on the market like ActivMotion Bar, what made you want to create this fitness tool?
Originally, I created the ActivMotion Bar in response to America's growing population of active adults - the boomers. The ideas was that the unstable bar would help them improve balance, core strength and mind-muscle efficiency - all essential elements of fitness for older people to stay mentally sharp and independent. But, since the creation of the ActivMotion Bar, we have realized that its use can expand way outside of the active adult population and into sport–specific training (i.e. golf) and general fitness training for those who want to fire up their core and tone up their midsection.
What are people saying about ActivMotion Bar?
One thing my team is so excited about is that once people pick up and try the ActivMotion Bar, they have positive comments. So far, we have not gotten a single negative comment. People say that when they use it, they have to think more about the exercises they are doing because of the bar's unstable nature so it keeps them mentally in their workout, that it's fun and brings an exciting new element to their fitness program they didn't have before … and, of course, that they can feel their core instantly activate the moment they pick it up.
What makes this workout unique?
The ActivMotion Bar and supplemental workouts are unique because there is no other fitness tool that uses a hollow bar with internal rolling steel weights. There are other instability tools but their movement is not like the ActivMotion Bar's. The rolling steel weights glide in a elegant way. They help the user correct movements that are off – it's like biofeedback. Water doesn't do that, neither does sand or an unstable surface. The workouts can't be duplicated, period. Another unique thing about ActivMotion Bar is its programming – we developed the new Disruptive Training System demonstrated in our DVDs. This is completely new since we use the momentum generated by the weights inside the bar to lengthen and strengthen our core muscles.

Experts: Thinning Forests Could Help Increase Ground Water SupplyOfficials with the U.S. Forest Service say there are too many trees in the Sierra, creating a major fire hazard and sucking up much-needed water
Smokey The Bear Facing Retirement As Forest Service Considers Letting Fires BurnInstead of focusing on brush clearing, this forest service researcher says the idea is to let the fire do all the work. So if it burns again, it's easier to manage. But there could be some pushback from those who feel the best way to deal with fire is to fight the flames and put them out.
$1 Billion Wildfire Fight: Busy Season Has Feds Running Out Of Firefighting Funds"The fires that are ripping through Oregon and Idaho and California and the West are just proof that the fire prevention policy is broken," Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee, said from Lincoln City.
El Dorado Sheriff's Fight With Feds Likely Over Residents Carrying GunsIt appears this exploding confrontation between Sheriff John D'Agostini and the U.S. Forest service may come down to guns, and the right to carry them, and whether U.S. citizens are allowed to bring them onto federal land.

2 more data points (or is it datum points?)
Very little research has been published on the life cycle, ecology, behavior and the general biology of the native slugs (family Philomycidae) of northeastern North America. Megan Paustian and I started doing some work on the water loss and regain characteristics of one species, Megapallifera mutabilis, early in the spring of this year (see this post).
At about the same time, I decided to understand their annual generation cycle better, especially to figure out if adults survive the winter. It's a simple project, really. For 2 years, I will measure the body dimensions and/or weights of live slugs throughout the year. That's about it. The collective data will show how the members of the population change during the year. The important thing is to take as many measurements as possible on relatively warm days in December and also towards the end of March as soon as the weather starts to warm up. If there are large slugs in December and in March that will mean that the adults survive the winter.
The photograph shows 2 of the slugs getting weighed in the field about a week ago. They were adults and quite heavy, as far as this species goes.

How do you rejuvenate a team that has been down lately? You bring back one of the best lacrosse players Casey Powell. The former league MVP helped deliver a win for the Colorado Mammoth Saturday night at HealthOne field at Pepsi Center. Casey Powell scored a hat trick and led in assists as the Colorado Mammoth defeated the Minnesota Swarm 14-12.
Colorado Mammoth have now won two in a row. This brings their overall wins to 3 and 5 losses for the season.
Casey Powell stole the show for the Colorado Mammoth with nine scores and six assist. The Colorado Mammoth took a quick lead but this was followed up by a Minnesota Swarm score. So far this has been the story for the Colorado Mammoth and they way they start, but then they start to lose the game in the end. Saturday night was different. In the fourth quarter Colorado Mammoth never trailed. Only at one point was the game tied. But working as a team and their fighting spirit, the Colorado Mammoth showed who was the most powerful and best team on the field that night.

in Kenya East Data Set
Return to Data Cleaning
Exercise in running a scatterplot of waz and haz in Kenya data:
1. Open keast4j.sav
2. Click on Graph, Scatter and enter waz in the Y-axis slot and haz in the X-axis slot.
3. Click on OK.
INTERPRETATION: Notice how you could draw a slanted line from the bottom left up and to the right. This indicates a linear association between height-for-age and weight-for-age, where the lower the height for the age, the lower the weight for the age. There is an expected association between these two variables. In fact, it is expected that weight for age will be associated to some extent with both height for age and weight for height, since it is supposed to be estimating both chronic and acute malnutrition in one variable (although it is not a perfect estimation).

fun. This wonderful program introduces children to the language using a

This book follows the ten-day visit by the authors and their spouses to the Amalfi Coast, south of Naples, Italy, in September 2009. It features sights in Positano, Praiano, Amalfi, and Sorrento, as well as visits to the ruins in Paestum, Herculaneum, and Pompeii. Contains many full-page, high resolution images from these places.
I am an amateur photography enthusiast who has experimented with photography for over 40 years, having started with a Canon FTb and my own darkroom setup. After visiting San Francisco in 1977, I became interested in selling small prints of sights I had photographed in Northern Virginia outside Washington, DC (USA). In addition to doing the craft show circuit, I took candid family portraits and baby pictures. For over 8 years, I have been experimenting with digital photography and happily snap a wide variety of pictures on my travels and when at home in Central Virginia. My first serious digital camera was a Canon PowerShot S2 IS (3.2 mp), but in June 2007, I purchased my first dSLR, a Canon Rebel XTi (Digital Kiss) with the standard 18-55mm "kit" lens. I soon added a Canon EOS 28-135mm lens to my arsenal and the Speedlite 580EX II flash unit. I am a Macintosh user and love to work with Aperture, Apple's photo management/editing software.

What is Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine)?
Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) is a type of medication called "levothyroxine sodium". Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) supplies your body with a synthetic hormone to replace the thyroid hormone your body is not producing effectively.
What is Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) used for?
Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Without this hormone, the body cannot function properly, resulting in poor growth, slow speech, lack of energy, weight gain, hair loss, dry thick skin, and increased sensitivity to cold. When taken correctly, generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) reverses these symptoms. Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) is also used to treat congenital hypothyroidism (cretinism) and goiter (enlarged thyroid gland).
Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) comes in 12 different doses so your doctor can match the precise dose that your body needs. The goal of your thyroid treatment is to establish and maintain the right level of thyroid hormone in your body, and your doctor has chosen Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) to help achieve that goal.
Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) Facts
Active ingredient: levothyroxine sodium
Other Ingredients: 10 mg mannitol, USP, sodium hydroxide, 0.7 mg tribasic sodium phosphate, anhydrous.
Class and mechanism: Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) is a synthetic (man-made) version of the principle thyroid hormone, thyroxine (T4), that is made and released by the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormone increases the metabolic rate of cells of all tissues in the body. In the fetus and newborn, thyroid hormone is important for the growth and development of all tissues including bones and the brain. In adults, thyroid hormone helps to maintain brain function, food metabolism, and body temperature, among other effects.
Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) Storage
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
How to take Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine)?
Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken once a day on an empty stomach, 1/2 to 1 hour before breakfast. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) is usually started at 0.05 mg/day. Starting doses and dose changes may differ with individual patients based upon the presence of cardiovascular disease, the development of tolerance (reduced effectiveness with continued use), side effects to the medication, and blood levels of thyroid hormone. It may take one to three weeks after initiating therapy with levothyroxine or changing the dose before effects are seen.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
OVERDOSE: Excessive doses of levothyroxine sodium result in a hypermetabolic state indistinguishable from thyrotoxicosis of endogenous origin. Signs and symptoms of thyrotoxicosis include weight loss, increased appetite, palpitations, nervousness, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, sweating, tachycardia, increased pulse and blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias, tremors, insomnia, heat intolerance, fever, and menstrual irregularities. Symptoms are not always evident or may not appear until several days after ingestion.
Note: Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) should be reduced in dose or temporarily discontinued if signs and symptoms of overdosage appear.
Who should not take Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine)?
Since thyroid hormone occurs naturally in the body, almost anyone can take this drug. In general, Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) should not be taken if you have other hormonal problems that are not being adequately treated.
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have a heart disease such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, or angina. These conditions may be affected by thyroid therapy, and closer monitoring may be necessary at the start of therapy.
Changes in blood sugar may occur if you have diabetes, and special monitoring may be necessary.
Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) is in the FDA pregnancy category A. This means that Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) is safe for use during pregnancy. It is also safe to take thyroid hormones if you are breast-feeding a baby. This drug does pass into breast milk, but it is not expected to be harmful to a nursing infant.
What side effects may occur?
SIDE EFFECTS that may occur while taking this medication includes weight loss, tremor, headache, upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, excessive sweating, increased appetite, fever, changes in menstrual cycle, sensitivity to heat and temporary hair loss. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away.
Drug Interactions
Some medications and foods can interfere with the effectiveness of your thyroid medication or your overall treatment - these are called "drug and food interactions".
Make sure your doctor or healthcare provider has a complete list of all prescription medications, vitamins, or over-the-counter medications you are currently taking. In some cases, your condition or therapy may need additional monitoring. Your doctor may ask you to take your thyroid medication at a different time of the day, separately from some medications, to avoid potential interactions.
Initiation or discontinuation of therapy with Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) in diabetic patients may create a need for an increase or decrease in the required dose of antidiabetic drug Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) may increase the effect of blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin). Therefore, monitoring of blood clotting is necessary, and a decrease in the dose of warfarin may be necessary.
Taking l Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) at the same time as cholestyramine (Questran) or colestipol (Colestid), two cholesterol-lowering drugs, may decrease the effect of levothyroxine and lead to hypothyroidism. This occurs because the levothyroxine binds to the cholesterol-lowering drugs and is not absorbed. Taking the Generic Synthroid (Levothyroxine) one hour before or four hours after cholestyramine or colestipol is necessary to prevent the binding.
Additional Information
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your response to levothyroxine Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
