AFSCME Workers Protests Lead to New Jobs, Lighter Caseloads
by Lynette Kalsnes and David Patterson | August 24, 2016
St. Louis County, Minnesota will hire 30 additional workers in its Public Health and Human Services Department and Initial Intervention Unit, to help deal with staffing shortages and heavy caseloads, following protests by AFSCME Local 66 (Council 5) members.
"We're very happy that we're getting new workers," said Kelly Crow, a child protection social worker in Hibbing. "There's a huge need, not only in our department but in other departments. This is a good start."
"It's not the solution, it's just the tip of the iceberg," added Local 66 Pres. Dennis Frazier. "It's a step in the right direction."
Commissioners acted after more than 60 AFSCME members and county workers marched in Virginia and Hibbing, carrying signs saying, "Understaffed, underserved." They drew attention to how staffing shortages and heavy caseloads are hurting workers and the children and families they serve. AFSCME members also met directly with some county commissioners, attended board meetings and screened board candidates for worker-friendly values.
"A lot of people have gotten involved in making change and realizing it's up to us to do that," Crow said.
As reported by the Duluth News Tribune, staffing shortages have gotten so serious the county's new head of Public Health and Human Services quit after just two months, citing in part a lack of resources. In northwest Minnesota, Children and Family Services workers must deal with a shortage of affordable housing, layoffs and factory shutdowns.
"We're fifth in population but first in many categories you don't want to finish first in, like opioid addiction," Frazier said. "We've got 800 kids in foster care. Referrals are up 45 percent. We've been understaffed and overwhelmed for years."
When workers learned the county was hiring more people, there was a sense of relief, said financial worker Jessica Anderson, a member of the Local 66 Executive Board and part of the Next Wave Minnesota group of young AFSCME members.
"It was such a load off. I just hope it helps relieve some of that 'Oh my God' crisis mode. I hope we can help the community in a more timely and accurate manner," Anderson said.
Financial worker Kathy Vake believes every area of Public Health and Human Services lacks enough staff. When she started working here, she and her desk partner shared a caseload of 600. Now they're at 1,100.
Local 66 plans to keep pushing for more hiring and less outsourcing to better serve children and their families. "I'm grateful for the help the county has given us, but they just need to keep doing it," said Vake.
Coups de Main to Lift up Louisianans in Their Time of Need
by Erica Nash-Thomas | August 23, 2016
"Coups de main" is a Cajun phrase that means lending a helping hand to community members in their time of need. AFSCME Volunteer Member Organizers (VMOs) recently had an opportunity to show their "coups de main," by helping lift Louisianans in need in flood-ravaged Baton Rouge.
Ina LaBorde, AFSCME Council 17 Council representative and her daughter, Lyn Ray, Catholic Student Organization director at Louisiana State University at Alexandria (LSUA) wanted to find a way to make a concrete and meaningful impact for their fellow Louisianans who are now piecing together their lives. More than 40,000 people across 20 parishes in the Baton Rouge area were affected, days after heavy rainfall led to the historic flooding.
Ray believed she could contribute to relief efforts in Baton Rouge by delivering items that people depend on from day to day: goods like toiletries, cleaning supplies and hand sanitizer, and comfort items like new bedding, clean socks — even some sweet tea.
But Ray knew should couldn't do it alone. She would need a dedicated crew of people to power her vision. That's when LaBorde sprang to action and tapped a source that she knew could depend on: VMOs. And they eagerly lent a hand.
Approximately 40 VMOs, members and other volunteers assembled at the LSUA Catholic Student Center to unload trucks and sort donated items to deliver to the St. Vincent de Paul shelter in Denham Springs in Livingstone Parish, an area hard-hit by the floods.
Cleaning items and supplies will be delivered to the Greenwell Springs neighborhood in East Baton Rouge Parish to help clean up flooded homes that still maintained their structural integrity. Residents there still face a big clean-up effort, including disposing destroyed furniture and other items.
"I was very excited to be involved with something so important to the members and the community," said Sheila Conroy, an AFSCME VMO from New York.
Sheryl Lilya, an AFSCME VMO from Minnesota, was also excited about her involvement in the action.
"Seeing the amount of giving and being able to help in any way was wonderful," Lilya said.
Ray expressed deep appreciation for the hard work of the VMOs throughout the afternoon to help Louisianans emerge stronger after the flood's devastation.
"I can't thank you enough," Ray said. "We couldn't handle this ourselves."

African American Women's Equal Pay Day Is August 23
by Jasmine Tucker, National Women's Law Center | August 23, 2016
This year, we recognize African-American women's Equal Pay Day today, August 23. This marks the symbolic day that the earnings of African-American women will catch up to their white, non-Hispanic male counterparts' earnings from last year.
We use the latest Census Bureau figures on earnings to calculate the wage gaps for women, including Latinas, mothers, and African-American women. And in 2014 (the latest available data), African-American women earned 60.5 cents for every $1 her white, non-Hispanic male counterpart earned.
Translation? African-American women have to work nearly eight months, or 238 days into the next year, to earn as much as white, non-Hispanic men did in the previous year alone. And based on today's wage gap, that means African-American women would lose a staggering $877,480 over the course of a 40-year career compared to white, non-Hispanic men.
So, yes, when we compare all women to all men, Equal Pay Day is in April. But we must acknowledge that African-American women face particularly steep and difficult obstacles when it comes to achieving equal pay. That's why today we'll be joining with our allies around the country to call for an end to the wage gap, particularly for African-American women. Want to join in? Make sure to use the hashtag #BlackWomensEqualPay on your social channels and join us for a Twitter storm on August 23rd, from 2-3 PM EST.

Child Care Workers Should Not Have to Live in Poverty
by Clyde Weiss | August 19, 2016
The need to make child care more affordable for families has been an issue in the Presidential race. But not enough attention has been given to the people – mostly women – who provide that care. That's too bad, because nearly half of the nation's child care workers are in families that receive food stamps, welfare or other federal support, according to a new report.
Researchers at the University of California-Berkeley found that, last year, 46 percent of child care providers lived in families enrolled in at least one of the social safety net programs: SNAP (food stamps), TANF (welfare), Medicaid or the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). That compares with slightly over a quarter of the total U.S. workforce that is enrolled in such programs.
These providers – an "almost exclusively female workforce," according to the researchers – earn a median hourly wage of just $9.77. That's less than a janitor is paid, on average. "Nationally, child care workers are nearly in the bottom percentile (second) when all occupations are ranked by annual earnings," the report said.
"Our nation relies on their knowledge and skills to provide high-quality early care and education to our increasingly diverse population of children and families," the authors wrote. "Yet our system of preparing, supporting, and rewarding early educators in the United States remains largely ineffective, inefficient, and inequitable."
Without a change in state and federal policies that address this issue, they added, "our nation will remain unable to deliver on the promise of developmental and learning opportunities for all children."
The authors – led by Marcy Whitebook, director of the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment at the University of California-Berkeley – recommended several strategies to improve child care worker compensation, including identifying ongoing sources of funding "to ensure sustainable raises in base pay, in order to substantially improve the economic circumstances of early educators and to ensure the ability to attract and retain a skilled workforce."
It will take political willpower to increase the wages of child care providers, but the consequences of not doing so may be felt by the next generation.
"We're entrusting children to people who are really struggling to feed their own families," said Whitebook in an interview about the report in the Washington Post. "They're managing all this stress, which is distracting to all the important work they have to do."
It's at the state level where the changes must be made. "State policies play a powerful role in shaping early childhood jobs and, in turn, the quality of early learning experiences available to young children," the report notes.
AFSCME, which represents thousands of child care workers nationwide, supports state initiatives to raise child care compensation. In California, UDW Homecare Providers Union/AFSCME Local 3930 is working with state lawmakers to raise subsidy rates for family child care providers who earn, on average, just $4.98 per hour after accounting for expenses, according to the coalition, "Raising California Together," of which UDW is a member. Higher rates will make it "easier for them to afford their work-related expenses and keep their day cares open for business," wrote UDW Exec. Dir. Doug Moore in a recent column on our blog.
"These problems add up to decreased access to quality, affordable child care and early learning opportunities for our children," wrote Moore, also an AFSCME International vice president. "But there is a solution: Make an investment in family child care providers to increase families' access to child care."
Hillary Clinton, AFSCME's endorsed candidate for President, is committed to raising wages for America's child care workforce. "Hillary will create the Respect and Increased Salaries for Early Childhood Educators (RAISE) initiative," her campaign website says. "In line with Clinton's Care Workers Initiative, RAISE will fund and support states and local communities that work to increase the compensation of child care providers and early educators and provide equity with kindergarten teachers by investing in educational opportunities, career ladders, and professional salaries."
AFSCME will work to elect Secretary Clinton so she can carry out her pledge to the nation's child care workers. They – and the next generation – depend on her.
It's About Time – Federal Government to End Use of For-Profit Prison Operators
by Clyde Weiss | August 18, 2016
AFSCME applauds the Justice Department's decision to end the use of private, for-profit firms to run America's federal prisons. It's a judgment that rests on principles we have long asserted – not only that the cost-savings promised by these firms are illusory but that they jeopardize the safety of prisoners and the corrections employees who work in these facilities.
The announcement, by Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, was made in a memo reported this morning by the Washington Post. Yates wrote that – compared to facilities operated by the federal Bureau of Prisons – privately run prisons "simply do not provide the same level of correctional services, programs, and resources; they do not save substantially on costs; and as noted in a recent report by the Department's Office of Inspector General, they do not maintain the same level of safety and security."
The Inspector General's report, released last week, states that, "in most key areas, contract prisons incurred more safety and security incidents per capita than comparable BOP [Bureau of Prison] institutions," and that, "in recent years, disturbances in several federal contract prisons resulted in extensive property damage, bodily injury, and the death of a correctional officer."
For-profit prisons "had more frequent incidents of contraband finds, assaults, uses of force, lockdowns, guilty findings on inmate discipline charges, and selected categories of grievances," the report added.
Privately run federal prisons housed approximately 22,660 federal inmates (12 percent of the total inmate population), the report stated. Three for-profit firms operate these facilities: Corrections Corporation of America (CCA); the GEO Group, Inc.; and Management and Training Corporation (MTC).
"Whether at the federal or state and local level, private prison operations have long been a stain on our nation's criminal justice system," said AFSCME Pres. Lee Saunders. "They have not kept us secure, nor have they delivered savings to the taxpayers – instead, corporate prisons have profited off of the suffering of our communities and have led the way to mass incarceration and the immoral detention of immigrant families in privately operated facilities that just this week were revealed in reports to be wasting taxpayer money."
AFSCME Corrections United, which represents approximately 62,000 corrections officers and 23,000 corrections employees, has long advocated ending the use of private prison operators in federal, state and local facilities. We have written extensively on the history and shortcomings of outsourcing, issued a report on how private prison operators profit from campaign contributions, and revealed how backroom deals enrich private prison operators at taxpayers' expense. We've also debunked the empty promises of private prison operators.
Now that the federal government has come to the same conclusions that we have, it is our hope that state lawmakers will follow suit and end their contracts with private prison operators. Private prison companies put profits over the best interests of the citizens whose taxes pay for these critical public services.
Getting a Free College Degree Is Easier than Ever
by Clyde Weiss and Olivia Sandbothe | August 09, 2016
Watch this video to hear Beverly Payne, Richard Anderson and other AFSCME members talk about the value of the AFSCME Free College benefit. Learn more about the AFSCME Free College benefit and how to enroll at http://freecollege.afscme.org/
Getting a college degree was not in the cards for Beverly Payne, who worked at an Ohio preschool for 30 years while raising four children. She never had time to further her education, she said. Now, the deck is stacked in her favor – at the age of 71 – thanks to the AFSCME Free College benefit.
"When this opportunity came up, I'm thinking – know what? I don't care how old I am. I'm going to try this," said Payne, a member of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees (OAPSE)/AFSCME Local 4.
As a secretary and transportation coordinator for a pre-school in Crestline, Payne knows the value of giving a child every opportunity to learn and grow. It's no surprise, therefore, that she was eager to take advantage of this benefit, which was offered in Ohio for a year and which is now expanded to AFSCME members and their families throughout the country.
Hundreds have already taken advantage of the program, including Payne. In fact, it's a family affair. Payne said one daughter is already enrolled, and a second daughter and son-in-law are looking into it, and a third daughter – who already has a bachelor's degree – is also thinking of enrolling in additional courses to further her career.
Last month, at our 42nd International Convention, Pres. Lee Saunders announced the national rollout this summer of the AFSCME Free College benefit. "That's how we empower public service workers," he told Convention delegates. "That's how AFSCME never quits helping its members."
Here's how it works. AFSCME, in partnership with Eastern Gateway Community College – an accredited, non-profit institution and a member of the University System of Ohio – is offering retirees, members and their families (spouses, domestic partners, children and grandchildren) an opportunity to enroll in a program to earn an associate degree online from anywhere in the country. Credits can also be transferred to most four-year public universities.
There are no out-of-pocket costs. That's right – no burdensome student loans are needed. The Free College benefit combines Pell grants and employer reimbursements with AFSCME's "last dollar scholarship," which covers all remaining costs after federal or state grants and employer reimbursements are applied. Together, these funds cover the full tuition amount for participating degree programs.
Even if an applicant is not eligible for federal, state, or employer financial aid, AFSCME's last dollar scholarship will still be applied to the remaining balance for tuition and fees.
"It's very difficult juggling a full-time job and a family, but quitting's not an option for me," said Richard Anderson, a corrections officer at Ohio State Penitentiary and a steward in his union, Ohio Civil Service Employees Association /AFSCME Local 11.
"This is a life achievement to go to college and graduate with a degree," he said. "And it just makes life a lot easier, especially if you have children. It's definitely setting the right goals and the right way of doing things, by showing them it's never too late to continue your education to help you to better your life."
The Voting Rights Act at 51: Why It Must Be Restored to its Full Power
by Erica Nash-Thomas | August 06, 2016
The 51st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) is August 6. Signed by Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson, the law sought to make sure African Americans – and all Americans – could exercise their right to vote freely. Unfortunately, exercising one of democracy's most cherished rights remains a challenge for too many people.
The VRA was meant to end race-based barriers to the voting booth, such as poll taxes and literacy tests that Southern states, in particular, used to keep African-Americans from voting. Over time, because of the law, many of those barriers came down. Then, in 2013, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court issued a ruling in Shelby County v. Holder, which held that a key provision of the VRA was unconstitutional.
The ink barely dried on that decision before the drive to suppress votes resumed, mostly in the form of voter identification (ID) laws aimed at keeping African Americans, other people of color and young voters away from the polling booths. North Carolina passed its voter ID law just days after the Shelby ruling.
Proponents of voter ID laws ostensibly claim concern about voter fraud. Yet experts keep looking for instances of rampant voter fraud – and they keep coming up empty. People have a greater chance to be struck by lightning than commit voter fraud, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
The Department of Justice also found "no apparent cases of in-person voter impersonation" after a review of its databases and other sources. That's the same conclusion drawn from academic studies and investigative reports by journalists.
That is increasingly the view of the courts as well. Recently, courts have either limited or struck down voting restrictions in several states.
A federal appeals court last month struck down North Carolina's voter ID law, describing its provisions as a way to deliberately "target African-Americans with almost surgical precision" in an effort to reduce black turnout during elections.
Another federal court found that the Texas voter ID law violated the VRA. A federal judge also found parts of Wisconsin's voter ID unconstitutional, and North Dakota's voter ID law was blocked by a federal judge who said it unfairly burdened Native Americans. In Kansas, a judge blocked the state's two-tier voting system, which required proof of citizenship to vote in local and state elections, but not in federal elections.
These victories underscore the true intent of voter ID laws – to deprive certain groups of citizens of the right to cast a vote. Unfortunately, that still leaves 15 states with new voting restrictions, just in time for the November elections.
Those are 15 reasons why we need to restore the VRA by passing the Voting Rights Advancement Act, pending before Congress.
VRA made a big, bold step in the right direction 51 years ago for the full right of the ballot box. It's only right to honor that achievement. But we will really honor that achievement when the right to access and exercise the vote is fully protected.
Victory for Seniors: AARP Drops Membership in Right-Wing ALEC
by Clyde Weiss | August 05, 2016
AARP, acting in response to calls by a coalition led by AFSCME to withdraw its support for the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), has decided it will not renew its membership in the right-wing group.
"We will not renew our membership to ALEC," AARP said in an email to Politico's Anna Palmer. AARP reiterated its decision on its Facebook page, and added, "We would never work against the interests of older Americans and our engagement with ALEC was NOT an endorsement of the organization's policies, but an opportunity to engage with state legislators and advance our members' priorities.
The coalition had just begun circulating an organizational sign-on letter calling on AARP to cut ties with ALEC, pointing to the organizations history of crafting and pushing model legislation that would threaten retirement security, harm seniors, undermine workers' rights and damage the environment, among other issues that are part of its corporate-backed agenda. ALEC is funded by right-wing extremists such as the billionaire Koch brothers.
"ALEC has been at the forefront of protecting drug companies and their ability to charge unreasonable prices, has been a strong advocate against the Affordable Care Act and has opposed Medicaid expansion, forcing lower-income retirees to make terrible choices between paying medical bills and buying groceries," the letter stated. "ALEC pushed voter ID laws that make it harder, not easier for seniors and people of color to vote. ALEC also blocks action on climate change, causing irreparable harm to the world we will leave our children and grandchildren."
ALEC's ties to AARP recently made headlines with news that AARP was on a list of sponsors of ALEC's 2016 annual meeting in late July. Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Michael Hiltzik noted:
"ALEC has pushed for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, which has saved Medicare enrollees millions of dollars by closing the Medicare drug benefit 'donut hole.' It has opposed Medicaid expansion under Obamacare. It has targeted public pensions, pushing to cap benefits and shift workers toward defined contribution plans, which layer more market risk on individual workers' shoulders."
AARP, like AFSCME, is a powerful advocate for retirement security and many other issues affecting retirees and those who are about to leave the workforce. By removing its support for ALEC, AARP has demonstrated that it will not be a partner in ALEC's extremist agenda.
America Has Gone Seven Years Without a Raise
by Olivia Sandbothe | July 26, 2016
It's now been seven years since the federal hourly minimum wage was raised to $7.25. Since 2009, the cost of living has risen by 11 percent—but many workers are stuck with the same paltry paycheck.
Last year, 2.6 million hourly workers earned wages at or below the $7.25 minimum. More than half were older than 25. For minimum wage workers, even basics like housing are out of reach. If the minimum wage were raised by just 10 percent, the number of people living in poverty in the United States would be reduced by 2.4 percent.
In fact, the minimum wage would need to rise by nearly 25 percent to match the purchasing power of the 1960s wage. During that same period, CEO salaries have increased by more than 700 percent.
If you work, you should make enough to make ends meet. Nobody can support themselves or a family on only $170 a week. The Coalition of Labor Union Women and allied organizations are drawing attention to the outdated minimum wage with the hashtag #RaiseItDamnIt. Please take the opportunity to contact your elected representatives and demand a raise for America's low-wage workers.

Marcos Maidana on Mayweather, Pacquiao, Ariza, More
By Nicolas Samuilov, notifight.com
While enjoying a well deserved vacation after two exhausting presentations, Santa Fe's Marcos "El Chino" Maidana is starting to analyze his future. The now former junior welterweight and welterweight world champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA) is far from being anxious about his sporting future. After a short trip with his family, he is resting at home with his loved ones. If a big challenge arises, he will fight. Otherwise, he will just wait until next year.
Maidana (35-4, 31 KOs) is coming off a majority decision loss against Floyd Mayweather Jr., which took place on May 3rd - when they battled in a unification bout for the WBA and World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight titles at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. He spoke to Carlos Irusta of Ringside Radio.
Did you feel that in the first half you surprised him?
I felt I had his respect, maybe he was then a little scared. And then he began to run; went on his bike. Stood there ... but he's a good fighter. He has a very good defense, and I could not catch up. He had said in previous conference that he was going to fight me. But when he stood still, he felt a punch and then he was gone.
But in that first half, you were able to fight your fight.
Yes, I thought it would be more difficult. He stayed on the ropes. He stood there and I was able to hit him, but when he felt it he ran. The guy is a great fighter. He does things very precise.
If you had to fight him again, what should change?
Maybe I should try to calm down a little bit and throw some more harder shots. I was eager to hit and take it. Maybe that's why I could not hurt him [because my punches were not landing as hard].
After what you did in the fight, do you imagine that he would be willing to give you a rematch?
I don't think so, I don't think he will give me a rematch. I'm waiting, but inside I know that he's not going to give me a rematch.
Now that Oscar De La Hoya and Bob Arum of Top Rank are willing to work together, it opens up the door for other fights, like WBO champion Manny Pacquiao.
I heard that they had named Pacquiao. I did not know that there was a problem between Bob Arum and Al Haymon ... I'm just finding that out. It would be an attractive fight. Pacquiao is a very important fight, and I'm in the best phase of my career.
How should Pacquiao fight him? His style is far from your last two opponents.
It's another style. I do not know how I would fight him. But I always fight the same way, as I fought with everyone. With anyone, I always go forward. The opponent has to study me, and then decide whether he plans to run or stand still. My style is to go forward and it won't change. I never went in there to box anyone. I never came in there to run. I always did the same thing.
Last week it was revealed by your trainer, Robert Garcia, that he decided to remove conditioning coach Alex Ariza from working with any of his fighters.
I'm not really sure why. Ariza is a great coach. I do not know how he treats others, but he was always good with me. So I do not know what differences there were. However, I will of course continue with Robert.
If not Floyd or Pacquiao, who would you like to fight?
I have no particular boxer who I want to fight. I have yet to discuss [my next fight] with anyone. I don't have a name, so I'll wait to see what happens.
[QUOTE=PRBOXINGCOTTO;14702686]i was hoping the same thing but you never know it might happen freddie v.s garcia cotto v.s madaina lol bu cotto woul knock madaina out easy to hit and weak to the body[/QUOTE] of course he would. oh wait!…Comment by The Tase on 06-27-2014

There are four filters in Photoshop that produce a relatively similar result to each other. And so, in many cases, when I'm considering one, I'll actually evaluate all four of these filters. Let's take a look at the effect. Generally speaking, the effect we're going to produce works best with a somewhat abstract image. An image where there's just a texture or a pattern, for example. This photograph happens to be a scene of rolling farm fields that was captured with a relatively slow shutter speed panning across. So, the camera is moving during the exposure and so we have this blur effect.
I'm going to start off by creating a copy of my Background Image layer. So, I'll drag the thumbnail for that Background layer down to the Create New Layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel. But since I'm going to be evaluating four different filters, I'm actually going to create four copies of this image. And when I mean copy, I don't mean a copy such as the background copy, I mean a duplicate of the entire, in this case, two-layered image. So from the Image menu, I'll choose Duplicate, and then I'll click OK, just accepting the default of having the word Copy appended to the file name. And then once again, I'll chose Image Duplicate.
And click OK once again, and Image Duplicate one last time and click OK. So now, I have four individual copies of the image, the exact same image all of them including that Background Copy layer. And I'll simply apply different filters to each of these. So, I'll start with the first image, and then I'll we'll go the Filter menu and choose Distort followed by Ripple. That will bring up the Ripple dialog, which is a very simple dialog. We can adjust the amount or the intensity of that ripple effect, as well as the overall size of the effect.
In this case, I'll go ahead and use the large option, and then maybe make a relatively strong setting for the Amount slider. And then, when I think I have a pretty good effect, I'll click the OK button in order to apply it to the image. And you can see we get this distorted sort of wave pattern within the image using this particular filter. I'll go ahead and choose the next image, the second image here. And then once again, go into the Filter menu, and the Distort sub-menu. But this time, I'm going to use the Twirl option. You'll notice that the dialog is somewhat similar.
We don't have a lot to choose from as far as settings. In fact, just one setting, the Angle slider. And this determines how strong an effect or how much twirl we're going to get in the image. We can use a very low setting, so we have just a little bit of distortion. Or even a negative setting to twirl in the opposite direction. You'll notice that we have a preview here. We can certainly zoom out to get a better sense of the overall effect in the photo. We also have a sense of the shape of that tool at the bottom left of the tool dialog. I will go ahead and play with the setting just a little bit and may be some more around there we'll work out nicely. And then, I will click the OK button to apply that filter effect. I will go ahead and switch to the third copy of my image here, and then go to the Filter menu once again and choose Distort.
And this time, I'm going to use the Wave option. And you can see from the Preview that the effect is very similar to what we saw with the the ripple effect. But we can adjust the number of wave generators as well as the wavelength that we'd like to use the amplitude of the wave. And notice, we can set both a minimum and a maximum. So, we can adjust a variety of different settings for the waves that we're creating. I'll go ahead and leave the amplitude at a relatively modest setting here. And we can also adjust the wavelength. Again, we have minimum and maximum values for that effect. So, we're sort of getting almost this cross section of a mountain type of effect.
And as I adjust the number of generators, you'll see once again that that has a fairly significant impact on the overall shape of the effect. We can also, by the way, adjust the type of waves that are being applied to the image so we have sign triangle and square effects. So, you could choose among those, and you also have an option for randomize. You can click the randomize button and just get a series of random settings for the Wave filter, but this is looking pretty cool. So, I'll go ahead and click OK. And then, we'll go to the final copy of the image. And from the Filter menu, under Distort, this time I'll choose Zigzag. And you can see we have a mesh pattern indicating the effect, giving us some sense of the effect.
We can also zoom out to get a better sense of the effect on the actual image and then we can determine the strength of the effect. Both positive and negative, as well as the number of ridges within that image. So within the mesh pattern that we're creating, you'll notice that in this case I'm getting something of ripple effect, sort of like if a pebble had been dropped into a pond. And we've got concentric ripples going outward from that center point. And of course, that makes perfect sense since the style is called Pond Ripples. But we can also choose around center as well as out from center. I'll zoom out just a little bit more so that we can see those particular effects in the image, but in this case, I think we'll stick with pond ripples. I'll maybe strengthen the effect a little bit more and perhaps reduce the number of ridges, just a little bit, and then I'll click OK. And there's our pond ripple effect.
So, we can go through each of those filters in turn, looking at the effect in the four copies that I created for my image. And while they're all very different from each other, there's a similar underlying tone with each of them in terms of how they're warping the photo. So once again, we have the Ripple filter, the Twirl filter, the Wave filter, and finally the Zigzag filter. So, somewhat similar in their overall operation, and yet very different in a lot of respects as far as that final effect. But because of their general similarities, I do tend to evaluate all four of these filters when I'm considering any of them for a particular image.

Eric LeGrand will be at Rutgers on Saturday when the Scarlet Knights host Army, the programs' second meeting since that fateful day he was injured more than two years ago at MetLife Stadium.
The Black Knights' overwhelming response to LeGrand's spinal injury struck a cord with Rutgers ever since.
"Certainly because of the way Coach [Rich] Ellerson and their staff handed the situation, there will always be a very special tie and connection between Army football and Rutgers football," Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said.
Last year's meeting took place at Yankee Stadium, with LeGrand taking part in the pregame coin toss with Malcolm Brown, the player LeGrand tackled on his last college play.
That play occurred at the Army 25-yard line with 5:10 left of Rutgers' Oct. 16, 2010, win.
LeGrand is determined that that will not be his last appearance at the 25-yard line of MetLife Stadium.
"He's doing better," Flood said. "What does that mean from a tangible standpoint? I think that means he's getting a little bit better every day. We know this process for Eric is going to be a long process, but he'll be the first one to tell you that at the end of it he's going to come through.
"He's going to go back to Giants Stadium and lay down in that spot where it happened, and he's going to get up and he's going to walk off the field. Eric LeGrand is always going to be a tremendous part of our program at Rutgers."

Whoopie, another war game where you shoot at things and blow them up. Very exciting. Can we say "Doom Clones" all over again?When I read "Magnum p.i. trailer", that's when I got excited and wanted to find out if it was going to be made into a game, but nope. The trailer just has the theme music playing in the background.Would be nice if they made a private investigator game where you can drive around the Hawaiian Islands in a red Ferrari, but that's too much to expect from these cloners who prefer to regurgitate the same garbage over and over.

The 21-year-old, who was the top scorer at the African Cup of Nations as his Zambia side claimed a shock victory, striker passed a medical, Saints said, and has been granted a work permit.
The club hopes the deal can be ratified in time for Mayuka to join Saints for their clash with Manchester United on Sunday.
"Emmanuel is a lightning-quick striker who I am sure will excite the fans," Southampton manager Nigel Adkins said on the club's website.
"He is only 21-years-old but already has a great deal of experience, notably so at international level."
Mayuka has been capped 36 times since making his international debut in 2007. Three of his 10 goals for Zambia came in the 2012 African Nations Cup, which his country won for the first time.
Mayuka was one of seven players to score three times in the tournament but was awarded the top goalscorer's Golden Boot by virtue of an extra assist.
Premier League new boys Southampton, without a point from their first two league matches, are also hopeful of signing Uruguayan winger Gaston Ramirez from Italian side Bologna.

This stuff is extremely cheap. 15 pieces for 1.00. Can be even cheaper with a 20-25% off discount. The only downside that I noticed is that the paper doesnt last quite as long as higher quality sandpaper. In other words the abrasive falls off the paper quicker. However, I was able to remove fairly heavy rust and paint from a froe I bought with just 1/3 of a sheet. Considering this cost me like 2 cents worth of sandpaper, Id say this is well worth it for do-it-yourselfers

This package has three types -- coarse, medium and fine, but they all feel pretty much the same. I tried the coarse with an orbital sander on a piece of oak molding, and it lost its grit in no time. I think I paid a buck for this, so not a big deal. For light hand sanding it may be OK, but I don't recommend it for using on an electric sander. Next time I'll try the more expensive stuff.

By farmer eunie

I cut these sheets up for my palm sanders. Sandpaper is really pricey in the big box stores and I love these packs--they last a long time. You can get four sheets for the smaller sanders out of them by putting a bit of tape on the ends before clamping them down, then they fit tightly..Also, when I use a scissors to cut them up, my scissors get sharpened as well!

He struck up a personal conversation and acted as if we'd done business before. He was very jovial and low pressure. He asked me about any light bulbs I might need to re-order. I was, in fact, getting ready to order light bulbs from a local company so I thought it was rather fortuitous that I received the call when I did.
I gave the gentleman on the phone the part number and he said he'd send out a case of 12 right away. He didn't ask for my address or billing information but said that I would receive a call from someone else so they could verify (or update) my contact info so they could send me a catalog and a small thank you gift.
A couple days later another fellow called and was less friendly. He gathered my contact info and said he'd be sending me a gift. I never saw the box of bulbs come in but someone signed for the box and someone else used one of the bulbs. Then, just today, my boss asked me about a case of bulbs that cost $600.
I figured it was some kind of mistake as there is no way I would order a box of 120 light bulbs. We might use maybe 5 or 6 a year. I searched around the office and found the box. It originally contained 12 bulbs. One was missing (already used by another employee).
When I looked at the contents of the box, it looks like junk you would find in a dollar store. Very low quality bulbs with blurry printing on the box and no safety or manufacturers information listed anywhere. Just a crappy stamp "Premium" on the bulb. There is no way on earth I would ever order a $50 bulb when I can cross the street to the hardware store and buy one for $5-10.
We have never done business with this company in the past and will never willingly do business with them in the future. They are a complete scam company and should be investigated by the authorities. If it were up to me, I would not send them a payment at all.

Your kids are back in school. They're making new friends and bringing home schoolwork. They're also bringing home germs and this week, maybe something more serious… strep throat.
That's according to Dr. Tracy Cerniglia, She's with Colorado Springs Health Partners on the east side of town.
Here's a look at the symptoms she's seeing... fever, sore throat, headache, nausea, vomiting and stomach aches. She says the best treatment is antibiotics. But of course, talk to your doctor.
And don't forget, there are preventative measures you can take against strep like good hand-washing. Also, remind your child not to share foods and drinks with other kids. It's good advice, especially as we head into the cold and flu season.

Thank you.
Have you a Child Theme or Custom Style/CSS plugin?
I don't have a child theme. I've read about that issue however, and could create one. OR is it easier to install a "custom style/CSS" plugin?
It is easier to install a custom css / style plugin, which of course will only work for CSS (what you ant anyway). Child Themes can hold greater modification.
I recommend this plugin
Okay. I installed it. Is it going to be too much work for you to explain how I change that font now? I imagine I will have to paste the code in the correct location, etc.
Im looking at the video on the creator's web site now.
Not any trouble,
You now need only apply the CSS.
May you provide more information on which heading you're referring to?
Here's a tutorial explaining how to use these CSS styles
I will look at both videos. You'll see the header on this page.
I want to change the text that says "Society for the Renewal of AMerican Politics". See how it wraps around? Either make it smaller or make the space in which it goes wider
Okay - so I used GOOGLE CHROME like the Plugin creator suggested. This allows you to "inspect" the code easily. I can see the CODE, but don't know how to find it on my site. I've done a bit of searching. I can't copy and paste the code, but I see it says
<body class="blog custom-background two-column content-sidebar">
Try this CSS;
#site-title a {
font-size: 32px;
Put it in the style file?
Try putting it in the allocated area from the Custom CSS Manager plugin.
Great . That worked. Did the trick. Thanks much!

I have a Twentyeleven Child theme
I want to change the color of the menu item when I am on that page. I don't know how to describe this, which is probably why I haven't been able to successfully search for it.
The default is, that the nav menu item is in bold after you've clicked on it, and you are on that particular page.
I changed the style of the nav menu to
#access ul {
font-family: 'Verdana', sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 17px;
list-style: none;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
padding-left: 0;
I basically want the color of the nav menu item to be in blue when I'm on that page. But I don't know where to go to change what I want to change...
Any pointers would be great.

The theme is good but Front home Menus are not showing in mobile device 320x640. please any one can tell me how it will be showing menus in mobile device.
Thank you for the basic theme. To bad that you did not add less compiler, or at least less file. I must add lessc php compiler and change less file on every update :(
This theme has an own highly worked out css-style. It takes a lot of effort to overwrite everything in a child-theme to make it my own style.
I like it, but for a real user it will be to technical...
I tried it in the Preview...
with this theme jetpack subcrtiption widgets is making calls to https://jetpack.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php?for=jetpack every page load, it slows page generation time to jetpack api server response
/* filled a bug vs jetpack.. since twentytwelve has same problems with excess api requests */

My first "good" Pinot – which occurred before the movie Sideways, by the way – was an epiphany. The color that gleamed with translucent ruby, purple, and flashes of garnet, the nose that danced with roses, cranberries, strawberries, smoke, and cherries, and the experience of pure silk on the palate and a luscious, long, exquisite finish, pretty much ruined me for any other wine. While I can't remember the wine maker, I do remember the experience.Read More

D. Magdaleno Hopes To Face Rocky Martinez on 2/9
By Ryan Burton
Unbeaten super featherweight contender Diego Magdaleno (23-0) has advised BoxingScene that he doesn't think his injured left hand will keep him out of action very long. The 26-year-old southpaw was supposed to return to the ring next Friday but injured his hand during a sparring session last.
"I am still training. I just can't use my left hand. I am getting therapy on my hand which should help it heal faster. My doctor said I will be able to use it by the end of December," Magdaleno stated.
Before Magdaleno's injury there was talk of him facing WBO super featherweight champion Rocky Martinez on February 9th at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino as the co-featured return to Tim Bradley's ring return. Both fights are from finalized but the Las Vegas resident is confident that he will be ready to return by then and hopes the fight comes to fruition.
"I should be ready for February 9th. They talked to me about that fight and it is a fight I really want. I hopes it happens," Magdaleno told BoxingScene.com.

Description A serious pro-survival, pro-recovery book, written because I have been the survivor of many suicide attempts, not to forget also the person left behind after actual suicides, and the victim of serious self-harm in myself and those I love. I haven't attempted suicide or self-harmed for 8 years and I don't plan to do so again, but I always have my plan to hand. Starting at the age of 11, I have attempted suicide 443 times (sometimes barely surviving, twice dying, only to be revived) and for fifteen years I was a person who self-harmed - cutting and bloodletting, sometimes as self-harm, sometimes as a suicide attempt. The two are definitely linked but not all self-harm is suicidal, not all suicide attempts are meant to kill, and sadly about one million people kill themselves every year, not all of them meaning to. As I have also been the victim left behind when someone I loved took their own life, I really can see the issue from all perspectives. Allow me to fill you in on my personal experience first of all, so you know you are 'talking' to someone who really has been there before herself. Pull up a chair, or sit back in bed, and we will talk. About the Author Katy Sara Culling was born in Liverpool, North England, in January 1975, sharing her birth date rather aptly with Virginia Woolf. Daughter of Sue and Paul Culling, her family moved back to its roots in Derbyshire, where she grew up along with her younger sister Beth, in the village of Castle Donington, on the Derbyshire-Leicestershire border. However, even as young as 5 she exhibited symptoms of bipolar disorder (manic depression) - leading her to be loud and talkative, often in trouble. She also worried a great deal about death to an extent that is very unusual in one as young as she was. Not just her own death either. She attended a private school for girls, Loughborough High School, where she was an extremely high achieving student. Unfortunately, due to bullying and also to numb her rampant mania and depression, she developed anorexia nervosa and began to self-harm. She found that the anorexia and self-harming took over her life and made coping with mood swings easier because she did not feel their full effect anymore. Katy Sara then went to The University of Nottingham, where she studied Biochemistry and Nutrition. She did her (1st class) thesis on alcohol and metabolism, interested in the psychology of alcoholism. All this was done despite considerable illness including over 60 suicide attempts and purging-type anorexia - and yet more bullying. She was bullied for being anorexic by her fellow floor-mates. However her good academic work at Nottingham lead to an offer of a place at The University of Oxford, where she studied for a PhD (DPhil) in Clinical Medicine. Here she was a full time member of Linacre College Oxford and was never bullied. Linacre is a graduate only college. She took part in many cycling events for charity. In her final year she became so ill with anorexia and bipolar depression that she agreed to take time off her PhD (the worst decision of her life) and go into hospital (first as a day patient, then an inpatient on the general ward, and eventually a sectioned inpatient on the general ward). During those two years she attempted suicide over 300 times, dying twice, only to be revived. She also made several trips to the Emergency Room to be treated for either suicide attempts or self-harm. She finally, at the age of 28 got a diagnosis of bipolar I disorder and the correct medication, and had been mostly fine ever since. Her eating disorder spontaneously recovered when her bipolar disorder became more controlled. She later wrote up her PhD thesis and published her results. Katy Sara now works for the Bipolar Foundation - Equilibrium, an independent, international, non-governmental organisation dedicated to improving treatment and understanding of the causes and effects of bipolar disorder ('manic-depression').

Hey guys I don't know if you can help me or not since I'm dealing with Genesis but I'm using the Agency Child Theme which normally has 3 columns on the homepage after the slider. The client wanted to have 4 columns so I changed some things to try and make that happen. It worked great in Safari, Firefox, and IE 8 but for some reason IE 9 will just not work according to the client. I personally don't have IE 9 so I can't test it to figure out what's wrong. Do you have any ideas?

Children from Bretton get ready for next term's school project thanks to a special visit to site
Published by Katie for Cross Keys Homes in Housing and also in Communities, Education
Children visiting site
Children from Watergall Primary School had a school outing with a difference when they visited a local building site.
In preparation for next term's school topic on 'building', the four to six year olds were treated to a special on-site question and answer session with local builders, Lindum Group, who are building the new homes in Watergall, Bretton for local housing association, Cross Keys Homes.
Over 45 reception children attended the site in small supervised groups with each group receiving a guided tour learning about how houses are constructed and the safety issues involved on site.
Bob Lewis, Lindum's Site Manager, said: "It was great to welcome all the children to site and show them around.
"They were all very keen to learn more about building in readiness for their school topic after the Easter Holidays and a couple of them were that enthused they even mentioned that they'd like to become builders when they grow up."
Cross Keys Homes' head of development, Ian Richardson, said: "We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Lindum Group and are hugely grateful for the grant support we have received from the Homes and Communities Agency which has enabled us to develop these properties at Watergall.
"It is great to see so many people taking an interest in what is happening here.
These six new homes will each be built for affordable rent and will help local people who cannot afford to buy on the open market."
The development by Lindum Group includes the construction of two two-bedroom homes and four three-bedroom homes.
Each property also benefits from high levels of thermal insulation, high efficiency boilers and Secure By Design certification all of which has enabled these homes to meet level three of the 'Code for Sustainable Homes'.
Council calls for residents' views on new homes
