Brady named Henrico Christmas Mother
Terry McConnell Brady, a retired Henrico County math teacher, has been named the 2012 Henrico Christmas Mother.
A native of Abingdon, Va., where she grew up on a farm with three brothers, Brady resides in the Tuckahoe District and is a long-time member of Tuckahoe Presbyterian Church, where she serves as a Sunday school teacher and works in the outreach division. She also volunteers with Meals on Wheels and the American Cancer Society, and has been involved with the Henrico Christmas Mother program for three years.
Brady has been married to her husband, Patrick, for 48 years and they have three children and six grandchildren. She enjoys spending time with her family as well as reading and gardening.
The mission of the Henrico Christmas Mother is to provide new clothes, toys, books and food to qualifying families, the elderly, and adults with disabilities during the holiday season.
The 501(c)(3) organization is run by an all-volunteer Council consisting of former Henrico Christmas Mothers and representatives of each of Henrico County's five magisterial districts. This year's Henrico Christmas Mother Council officers include President Shelly Poole, Vice President Betsy Foster, Treasurer Mary Shaia, Assistant Treasurer Betty Lyon, Recording Secretary Robin Smith, Corresponding Secretary Karen Moore and Members-at- Large Charlotte Melton and Ruth Radzisauskas.

1. A mystical creature from Victorian ages that was the most accomplished predator of their time. Funnily it never consumed the prey as it was a vegetarian. It survived only on vegetables and needed Vitamin D to survive which it got from the sun. It was mostly seen near the woods. It vanished into time; extinct species.

Protesters aimed to raise public awareness about the risks of genetically modified foods and testing, he said. "The reason we're marching is for the future health of our kids, our land and our ocean," said the co-organizer from Kauai. "Hawaii is ground zero for GMO testing . . . all of our future resources and health are at stake."

, updated November 16, 2012 at 7:23 AM
Musicians tend to solve the world's problems while jawing endlessly in bars. Often late at night.
Epiphanies arrive. By morning, they're forgotten. Oh well. There's always tonight! And tomorrow night!
I mention this not merely to be flippant, but because it does seem to be true that musicians in Buffalo – and probably everywhere else – love to talk about music in the broad, philosophical sense, with other musicians. Preferably while sipping a pint of locally brewed beer. This is what musicians do for fun, when they aren't playing music, or wondering why they can't make their relationships work and keep up their commitment to the muse herself at the same time.
This happened to me just the other night. I was watching the band Reptar perform in the Rapids Theatre, and catching up with local musician Nick Sonricker. We were both kinda blown away by Reptar, a willfully weird quartet of clearly talented musicians whose main purpose in life seems to be to please themselves by indulging in songs that refuse to follow the accepted conventions of genre classification. The band was putting on a pretty fascinating show, and I wondered aloud to Sonricker what they might be capable of in the recording studio.
This led to an interesting question from Sonricker, who happens to be the drummer with Aqueous, an eminently talented area band whose newly released indie effort "Willy is 40" is one of my favorite discs of the year.
"Do you think it's worth it to make albums anymore?" Sonricker asked, catching me completely off guard because he and his bandmates had just finished working so hard to do exactly that.
"Yes, absolutely, of course," was my knee-jerk reaction.
"I do, too," Sonricker said. "I know everyone says that it's all about the live show and the touring now, that nobody buys albums. But for me, the album is the blueprint. You start performing the songs the way you recorded them, and then they grow from there. And then before you know it, you end up with a whole bunch of new songs. I can't imagine not making an album. It all starts with that process."
Sonricker raises a significant issue. As more and more major recording artists are beginning to follow the path originally forged by indie bands – eliminating the major labels and producing and paying for their recordings themselves – we're witnessing a sea change in the world of recorded music. For better, in many instances, and, as it turns out, for worse in a few others.
The old music business model worked roughly like this: Major record labels were basically banks. They'd lend artists money in the form of an advance. All of that money was recoupable. Naturally, money began to be thrown all over the place, since the artists (who often didn't seem to realize this fact) were going to end up paying it all back anyway. Recording costs, promotional budget, big-name producers – it all added up to a serious case of corporate bloat. But the industry was happy because the industry was making money.
Along comes computer-based home recording and systems like Pro Tools. And just like that, the party's over. Artists could make professional records in their living rooms or in studios they build themselves for just such a purpose. You didn't need a big record company advance any longer. This was an exciting development.
Unfortunately, at the same time that this happened, people stopped buying albums and started stealing them. Then came digital singles and streaming sites. So now the artists found themselves in an interesting position. They'd seized the means of production and could now record their music themselves without the "help" of major label types.
Unfortunately, once they'd made that album, very few people were interested in buying it. Ouch. The irony.
I admire Sonricker's commitment to the art of making an album, because it's clear that it stems from his commitment to the music itself. If it's good for the music, then it's good, one might paraphrase his sentiments. It's unlikely that making that album will make Aqueous or bands like them much in the way of money, at least in a direct fashion. But making the album made the band better, and a better band is more likely to convert more listeners into fans, especially one like Aqueous, whose members are fully committed to touring.
There are now ways to offset the recording of an album, even for indie bands who aren't being offered recording budgets from external sources. Fundraising options like Kickstart are one possibility – in this scenario, artists solicit investment funds directly from their fans. Basically, the fans become shareholders in the album. The subtext is somewhat like this: "You want us to make a new album? Great! We'd love to! But you're gonna have to help us pay for it!"
This has worked for internationally famous bands, too. For example, the British progressive rock group Marillion solicited fans to help them record, and then leaned on those same fans once again to prepurchase tickets for a tour. Here's the kicker – there was no tour to speak of until the fans bought the tickets. In Marillion's case, this approach worked like a charm.
Locally, Jamestown's 10,000 Maniacs has employed a similar model. Teaming with the PledgeMusic Group, the band urged fans to pledge their financial support.
During the first week of the 10,000 Maniacs campaign, the group reached 50 percent of its projected support. That means that the band's new album, "Music From the Motion Picture," will be released in January.
Artists as diverse as Ben Folds Five, Juliana Hatfield and Margot and the Nuclear So and So's have followed a similar plan. So far, it seems to be working for all of them.
So if you're Indie Band X in Buffalo, wondering if it's worth making an album when it's easier and more profitable to simply gig constantly, the answer is yes. Absolutely. Of course.

Because most people who get soft tissue sarcoma do not have any risk factors, health care providers have little advice on how you can prevent this very rare form of cancer.
Remember, you can have all the risk factors and not get soft tissue sarcoma. Or you can have none of them and get this illness. Talk to your health care provider if you are concerned about your risk.
When possible, you should avoid these risk factors:
Avoid exposure to radiation. (This may not be possible for people who need radiation to treat cancer.)
Avoid exposure to certain chemicals, especially herbicides and dioxin.
If you or anyone in your family has had neurofibromatosis, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, retinoblastoma, or soft tissue sarcoma, you may have a slightly elevated risk of this type of cancer. Ask your health care provider if you should be tested for inherited genes that might increase your risk of soft tissue sarcoma. It is important to know that there are not a lot of genetic tests to accurately predict your risk for sarcomas.
Unfortunately, there is no test that can find sarcoma cells when they first begin to grow. However, you have a better chance of surviving soft tissue sarcoma if it is found and treated early. For this reason, it is important to tell your health care provider right away if you notice any lumps or other symptoms on your body. If you feel a lump on your body, it is important to have your health care provider check it. This is especially true if the lump is causing pain, is getting larger, or is bigger than 2 inches across. Even though most lumps are not sarcomas, you can't assume so. Your health care provider may continue to watch the lump or have tests done.
Don't be afraid to question your health care provider and ask for more tests to make yourself feel better. It is your health and your body, and it is important to know confidently that any concern you have has been completely evaluated to your satisfaction, and you completely understand what is happening.

Sony Xperia ZU 6.4" phablet could let you use a pencil, Snapdragon 800 on board

apparently, the neonode touch tech on the togari is true. with those abnormally thick bezels, it would appear the neonode tech is in there. i just hope it also supports that other input type neonode demonstrated — the one where a player can play a racing game by just moving hands beside the device, without touching it.

But 3000mAh.....
Hmmm....that cannot last long with 6.4" HD screen

Stamina mode is just a software gimmick like every other battery saver. You get the same poor battery life on the XZ whether it's on or not.

so an oversize xperia Z, they better market this thing as a tablet, because from the picture, I don't think that will fit in the pocket.
10. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3793; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
But when Samsung does it with the Mega 6.3, everyone seems to have no problem at all! Why with Sony's 6.4?
14. MCrapp (Posts: 318; Member since: 07 Apr 2013)
Sorry but for me this is tablet not phablet!this same Mega 6.3
And if Samsung make Note4 bigger than 6" it will be a tablet!

20. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
do you think 6'' is small? i think you must check galaxy mega 5.8
if i have the same point of view like you,
for me anything bigger than 5.5'' it will be a "small tablet"
15. abcdefgh (banned) (Posts: 471; Member since: 29 Mar 2013)
bcoz nobody wants to buy mega 6.3 with mediocre specs but one might consuider zu because of exclusive feautures and top end specs.
19. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
anything with 5.5''+ display will have problem with any normal pocket

30. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
A good camera has more elements to it than megapixels. The GS4 and Xperia Z have the exact same camera module, but the GS4 takes much better shots because of Samsung's better software. Sony can afford to lose some megapixels if they focus more on software.

Exynos octa with cortex A15 clocked at 2.3 GHz will eat alive the Snapdragon 800.
29. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
But the battery life would be absolute crap. Krait 300 and 400 can go to higher clock speeds to achieve A15-like or higher performance while maintaining a low power profile, without additional power saving cores.

35. Diazene (Posts: 129; Member since: 01 May 2013)
exynos octa with lower clocks and similar performance has much worse battery life than SD 600 both on the SGSIV, according to GSMArena
BTW, I think heat is another issue

That battery seems a little low for such a large screen. The Note II has a 5.5" screen with a 3,100 mAh battery. Much larger screen + lower battery capacity = not good

"...and a 6.5mm thin frame"
are you sure that this is grammatically correct?
39. ashue (Posts: 28; Member since: 26 Feb 2013)
will get this one the moment it comes out, and then note III the moment it comes out.. lol.... expecting the battery on both the devices to be good....
41. Sitchiro (Posts: 6; Member since: 15 Jun 2013)
well basically bro, battery will depend on how you use your device :)
44. ashue (Posts: 28; Member since: 26 Feb 2013)
true that.... im more of a heavy user, so seeing that, i wish both the devices come with a good backup.... i know note 3 will have a good battery backup, want the sony fellas to also deliver.... :)

Through The Fire: How I Lost And Found My Wedding PhotosMonica Bielanko
The other day I was the recipient of a mass email from one of my beloved editors here at Babble inviting us to send in a photo of ourselves from our wedding day and then one from today to be featured on Babble.
They were compiling Now And Then: How Love Changes Over Time. I love these kinds of things, mostly because I like looking at Before/After photos of people who undergo some kind of transformation; be it weight loss, plastic surgery or just the unrelenting passage of time. Ever seen a photo of your grandma when she was in her twenties? Mind-blowing.
But I chose not to send in a wedding photo. Mostly because I don't really have one. I mean, I have photos of us from the day we got hitched, but we didn't really have a "wedding" in the traditional sense. Several weeks after we met we bought a couple $10 rings at a mall kiosk, went to the courthouse for a license, asked them to point the way to a judge who could do the thing, like, NOW, (Serge was leaving on a European tour with his band the next day) spent the morning calling various judges and at 5:30 that evening, armed with a disposable camera, we rolled up to the judge's house where his wife and her friend witnessed our ceremony. (You can read the story of how we met and married here).
You are now husband and wife.
Our honeymoon? Dining at Red Lobster because my new husband had a ratty old gift certificate in his wallet. We managed to get some fellow diners to snap a photo of us in the parking lot so that one, dim, blurry-ish photo is our sole "honeymoon" photo.
Does it bother me that I don't have any "real" wedding photos like the ones that other blushing brides ended up submitting to the Babble team? Me in a white dress standing in a meadow somewhere gazing off into the distance, as you do, my hair blowing delicately in the breeze while Serge pretends to lovingly tuck the errant strand behind my ear? Because nothing says marriage like that kind of poetic exchange between folks. I mean, please. If a photo representing marriage is what it's all about I should've commissioned someone to snap a photo of me peeing while Serge spits toothpaste foam into the sink and Henry tries to get between my legs to see what's doin' in the toilet.
But, like I was saying; does it bother me that I don't have any photos of myself clad in a billowy white dress while scads of people – NONE OF THEM WEARING WHITE BILLOWY-NESS – admire my obvious ethereal beauty and congratulate Serge on landing such a stunner?
Not really. But sometimes. Sometimes I wish I had been proposed to. That someone had got down on bended knee and presented me with a ring and stuttered out some kind of speech about how I am the only girl for him and would I spend the rest of my life with him. Sometimes I wish I had walked down an aisle in a white dress to a teary-eyed fella while my friends swooned at our magnificent display of what is clearly true love forever – even though that may or may not be the case. Who the hell knows at a wedding how shit will turn out? More than half of 'em will end in divorce. So check back in ten years, suckas, and then we'll see about all this true love talk. Mostly I am glad to have avoided all that claptrap. Surely, knowing our families, several people would have gotten drunk before 9pm and there likely would have been fireworks by the end of the night. And not the Brad-and-Jen-spent-a-million-bucks-on-a-spectacular-light-show kind of fireworks either. The brothers arguing/mothers crying kind of crap that goes down at most of our family functions.
Not for me, thanks.
But still.
All this got me wondering where my actual wedding day photos are, seeing how we had a bad house fire in January that burned up most of our mementos. After discovering so many things had been destroyed by flames, after a while I kind of shut down and stopped the inventory of what we'd lost. I just couldn't take the realization of yet another tragic loss.
But after the request for photos from the Babble team I took a deep breath and went pilfering through the one melted, blackened container of stuff we couldn't throw out but couldn't keep inside for the acrid smoke smell and so had set hastily in the corner of our garage. And yes, as it turns out, all the wedding photos from that single disposable camera we giddily purchased that day in October of 2004 are gone forever. Then I remembered something that had happened in the days after the fire…
When the firefighters were battling the flames they began heaving our belongings out of the house to reduce the amount of burnable material inside and also to try and save things from burning. When the smoke cleared we ventured slowly up our road to assess the damage and found a pile of burned, melted stuff in our driveway the size of a small car. My first instinct was to grab a rake and pilfer through it because OUR STUFF! Childhood photos, journals, yearbooks, Violet and Henry keepsakes… And what if something was salvageable right then but if I waited it would slowly burn or melt in the middle of all that mess?
But I was told by firefighters lingering to put out hot spots to leave it alone until it stopped smouldering. Apparently that pile of stuff ignited again the day after the fire. My neighbor saw it smoking and went to hose it down, I think, and while doing so happened to notice a red photo album that was near the flames. She pulled it from the pile and carried it home to give to me the next time she saw me.
The album of photos is the last tangible item I have left to remember our wedding day. It was made by my best childhood friend as a going away present when Serge and I moved to New York City after getting married. Had she not stolen the photos from me and made the album, I wouldn't have any photos from that day. Had my neighbor not spotted it the album surely would've melted in the hot mess. Maybe not, but you never know…
I figured I better get my act together and get the photos online before something else happens to them. As I don't have a scanner – that burned in the fire too – I went ahead and took photos of the photos, which is never great and some of them kind of melted to the plastic they were in when the fire came close so they aren't the greatest quality. But they're photos, dammit! And they're all I have.
There's no wedding dress but there is a meadow and my hair does appear to be blowing in the breeze! Mostly there is a whole lot of smiling and hope and happiness. And that's pretty much all you need in a wedding photo.
Rescued From Fire 1 of 20Fire licked the corner and some of the pages are melted together but the album is in great condition considering...
Marriage Metaphor 2 of 20I am debating purchasing a replacement album but haven't pulled the trigger. There is something unique about the charred album. A reminder, perhaps, of how close it came to being destroyed that is an apt metaphor for our marriage. Through the fire, baby, through the fire.
Goin' To The Chapel 3 of 20Technically we're driving to the judge's house.
Stop Playing That Song! 4 of 20I made Serge play Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah over and over again as we drove there. He later admitted to me that this made him question marrying me. He was joking. I think.
Disposable Cam Glam 5 of 20We took all our own wedding photos with the exception of one the judge's wife took of us standing with him and then another of just the two of us on their porch.
Are We Really Doing This? 6 of 20Another of us in the car, sitting in traffic on the way to the judge's house.
$10 Rings 7 of 20A couple years later my ring broke and we lost it. A couple years after that Serge's ring broke too. We've had a ragtag assortment of cheap-ass replacements, but nothing has stuck.
We're Here 8 of 20This is a favorite of mine. Serge snapped it as we walked up the driveway to knock on the judge's door. We were thrilled that his home turned out to be this quaint, French-like villa in a neighborhood right up against the Utah mountains. Would've sucked if he lived in some shack down by the freeway. Or a van down by the river. But, you know, JUDGE and all. Had to figure he had nice digs. Anyway, it's a favorite because in my face I can see all the excietment of that day and I'm looking at Serge, not the camera.
Just Married 9 of 20This is the first photo after we got married. That's the judge there and that's the signed license Serge is holding.
Sweet Shoes 10 of 20This photo makes us look a little weird because it was kind of melted against the plastic of the photo album. Nice bedazzled platform flip-flops, Monica.
Sweet Smile 11 of 20He's so goddamn cute here. I was shaking throughout the ceremony and he kept rubbing my hands with his thumb. I liked that.
Posing It Up 12 of 20A few last photos in front of the judge's house.
All Done 13 of 20After this photo we climbed in my car and took off. Just like that.
Photo Shoot Round 2 14 of 20As we were driving to who knows where we stopped at the base of the Wasatch mountain range to snap a few more pics because everything just looked so beautiful.
Am I In Frame? 15 of 20It was October 4th and the leaves in Utah in autumn are absolutely magnificent. These photos don't do them justice. Disposable camera, go figure.
Dog Collar Garter 16 of 20I wore my dog Max's collar as a garter because we didn't think it would be appropriate to take him to a stranger's house. Serge wanted him as best man, though.
Newlywed 17 of 20This photo hasn't been edited or anything. I am actually stunned at the quality from some dinky disposable camera.
Obligatory Ring Shot 18 of 20Now we're just being silly.
Wedding Portrait 19 of 20If I have any "wedding portrait" this would be it.
Honeymoon! 20 of 20Tonight we dine under the plastic crab. Serge once wrote, "I like that our wedding photo album consists of maybe six pics tops. And that in the main one, the Just-Married-Newlyweds/Ain't-Love-Grand one, I show a bit of belly. Out of the billions of wedding photos on Earth, there can't be many in that category, huh?"

Alzheimer's strikes about one-tenth of the people over 65 years old and almost one-half of those who live past 85. "Many people confuse Alzheimer's disease with dementia," explained Family Medicine physician Jeffrey Cohen, D.O. "Dementia is a group of symptoms related to the loss of mental functions, such as thinking, memory and reasoning; which are severe enough to interfere with a person's daily functioning. Many causes of dementia symptoms exist, but Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause.
"Some people with Alzheimer's may cry, become very angry or behave in ways that embarrass those around them. They may forget things, repeat the same questions, or have trouble finding the right words. They may not remember who you are, even if they know you very well. This occurs because changes deep inside their brains are destroying the centers that control their memory, thinking and feeling."
Like any other body organ, the brain's ability to function properly can break down over time. "Alzheimer's disease causes brain cells to lose their ability to form new connections with other cells," Dr. Cohen said. "As the disease progresses, nerve cells begin to die. Over time, widespread cell death erases basic knowledge that is stored in the brain. People lose their ability to recognize others and may forget who they are or where they live. In its latest stages, Alzheimer's disease destroys the brain cells that control movement and swallowing. People at these stages need constant care and eventually die from this disease."
"If you or a loved one are experiencing some of the warning signs of Alzheimer's, talk to your doctor to determine if a medical evaluation or treatment is needed for you or the person in your care," Dr. Cohen continued.
"There are a few medications that are may be used to treat people with mild to moderate symptoms of Alzheimer's, such as those symptoms affecting affect memory, language, judgment, planning, ability to pay attention and other thought processes. These drugs affect the activity of different chemicals involved in carrying messages between the brain's nerve cells."
Fact Box

10 Warning Signs
1. Memory loss: Forgetting recently learned information; beginning to forget more often.
What's normal? Forgetting names or appointments occasionally.
2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks: Losing track of steps involved in daily tasks.
What's normal? Occasionally forgetting why you came in a room.
3. Problems with language: Forgetting simple words or substituting unusual words.
What's normal? Sometimes having trouble finding the right word.
4. Disorientation to time and place: Forgetting where you are, how you got there, and not knowing how to get back home.
What's normal? Forgetting the day of the week or where you were going.
5. Poor or decreased judgment: Dressing inappropriately, making random decisions.
What's normal? Making a questionable or debatable decision from time to time.
6. Problems with abstract thinking: Unusual difficulty performing complex mental tasks, like forgetting what numbers are for and how they should be used.

7. Misplacing things: Putting things in unusual places.

9. Dramatic changes in personality: Becoming extremely confused, suspicious, fearful or dependent on a family member.
What's normal? People's personalities can change somewhat with age.
10. Loss of initiative: Sitting in front of the TV for hours, sleeping more than usual or not wanting to do normal activities.
What's normal? Sometimes feeling weary of work or social obligations.
(Excerpted from Alzheimer's Association website: www.alz.org)
Between 70-90 percent of people with Alzheimer's disease eventually develop behavioral symptoms, including sleeplessness, wandering, pacing, aggression, agitation, anger, depression, and hallucinations and delusions. Caregiver strategies for managing difficult behaviors include: Stay calm and be understanding.
-Be patient and flexible. Don't argue or try to convince.
-Acknowledge requests and respond to them.
-Try not to take behaviors personally. Remember: it's the disease talking, not your loved one.
"Some newer drugs are also being used to treat the symptoms of moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease," Dr. Cohen concluded. "These drugs can help improve some patients' abilities to carry out daily activities for up to a year or so, but they don't stop or reverse Alzheimer's."
Jeffrey Cohen, D.O., is a Family Medicine physician affiliated with Salem Community Hospital's active medical staff and Firestone Healthcare, which has offices at 28885 state Route 62 in Damascus (330-537-4661), 132 North Market Street in East Palestine (330-426-9484), and 2364 Southeast Boulevard in Salem (330-332-4833).

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
I was lucky enough to grow up at Saint Vincent. (My father was a member of the faculty for many years). Before I was even old enough to go to school, I was learning important lessons about faith, scholarship, community and hard work from the faculty, staff, students and Benedictine monks of Saint Vincent.
I received my B.A. in History from Williams College and my MFA in Film Production from The University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television (now called the School of Cinematic Arts). I have also been working as a professional theatre director for more than 14 years. Here at Saint Vincent I teach Film Studies and Acting classes. I also direct a student show every semester and serve as Artistic Director of Saint Vincent Summer Theatre, a professional theatre founded by the late Father Tom Devereux, O.S.B in 1969.
I love Saint Vincent's commitment to the Liberal Arts and the college's support for theatre, even though we don't have a theatre department. Those two aspects combined mean that I teach and direct students from a variety of academic backgrounds and with a variety of extracurricular interests. My Acting I class is usually full of athletes (most of whom usually do a fantastic job). The cast of the student musical I just directed included music majors, of course, but also Business, Bio-Chem, and Psychology students. Most of these students don't plan on careers in the theatre, but they love performing and they see involvement in the arts as an important part of a full and balanced life. I love that.
I have lots of memorable moments, and most of them involve students being brave. It takes courage to get up, in front of a class or in front of an audience, and perform. I'm thinking of burly football players pretending to be women, and soft-spoken freshmen figuring out how to project their voices so they can be heard at the back of the theatre. And I'm thinking of weeks of hard work and dedication paying off on opening night and the glowing look on a student's face when he or she comes off stage after making a hundred people laugh. Those are good moments.
Make the most of this time; it will go faster than you think. Accept the consequences of your mistakes and learn from them; it will sting for a bit, but it will make you a better, stronger, wiser human. Don't be afraid to ask your teachers for help; we love to help. Befriend a monk; monks are great.

Volunteers fight crime in South Africa
06 March 2007
by Sipho Masondo
Knysna, South Africa: Community members in the crime-ridden areas near Knysna, South Africa have declared war on lawlessness.
Bambanani (isiXhosa for sticking together) is an organized volunteer group who attempts to put a stop to criminal activities, illegal shebeens or unlicensed drinking establishments and drug dealers in the greater Knysna area.
The Bambanani idea was initiated by the Western Cape government four years ago to ensure a safe festive season for its residents.
Volunteers patrol beaches and streets, and participate in anti-crime campaigns.
Four years down the line, the project has grown and reached many Southern Cape communities, including Plettenberg Bay, George and Knysna.
"I am a community member, that's why I decided to join Bambanani. I want to see to it that the community in Rheenendal (near Knysna) is safe," Bambanani member Magda Williams said.
She said the 16 members in Rheenendal start patrolling the streets every Friday from 8 p.m. until the early hours of Saturday morning when all the shebeens and taverns close.
"We ride up and down on bicycles, and visit the many illegal shebeens and taverns. We monitor their operations. If we see children inside, we tell them to go home. If there is fighting or any illegal activities, we call the police," she said, adding that they held regular meetings with tavern operators to discuss acceptable ways of doing business.
Bambanani members do all this armed only with a week's training in self-defence, reflector jackets and a first aid course they did in Cape Town.
Williams said they got involved with Bambanani because of a love for their community. "We put our lives on the line, and we don't even get paid," she said, adding that they could do with more training, two-way radios, handcuffs and pepper spray.
Williams said the group's biggest problem was the lack of support from police.
"We want them to accompany us when we patrol. People get away with a lot of crime here because of the lack of police presence. They must just put a structure in place to work with the police.
Bambanani member Marius van Niekerk said Rheenendal was disadvantaged because it lacked a police station. He said the area, with a population of about 5 000, depended on the Knysna police station, which was about 25km away.
"We prevent a lot of murders and criminal activities here. There is so much crime here because people don't report it, and the reason for that is they don't have money to call the police or pay R17 to go open up a case in Knysna," he said.
He said Bambanani worked closely with the Knysna Policing Forum and other Bambanani groups in townships such as White Location and Hornlee.
"If government can buy into the idea and have it organised properly, it can go a long way to addressing crime in the country," he said.

Officials from the Canaan Valley Institute are working with the Monongahela National Forest Service to restore the Barton's Bench section of the forest to a natural state.
The Barton's Bench ecological area is located in Randolph County, nearly a mile southwest of Cromer Top and Route 92, CVI documents state. It was heavily mined for coal in the 1970s on land that was owned by Mower Lumber Company, who sold it to the National Forest after mining was completed in the 1980s. Restoration of the land will include road decomissioning, the creation of wetlands areas and the planting of different species of plants and trees.
"We want to put this into a condition where it's self-sustaining," said Mike Owen, watershed project manager for the forest.

From left, Mike Owen, watershed project manager for the Monongahela National Forest Service, stands with Todd Miller, director of aquatic restoration at Canaan Valley Institute. CVI is working with the Forest Service to create wetland areas at the Barton's Bench section of the Monongahela National Forest.
Owen said the total Mower area is approximately 41,000 acres. Only a small portion of that, about 90 acres, is being reclaimed in the Barton's Bench project.
Funding for road decomissioning is being provided by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Mitigation funds which are distributed by the WVDEP are providing funding for the wetlands. Lyle Bennett of the WVDEP said recent land development near Cheat Lake impacted wetlands, and state laws require mitigation of that impact.
Mitigation, in this case, is taking place through funds given to the WVDEP, which can be handed off to separate wetlands projects like Barton's Bench, Owen said.
He spoke about previous reclamation attempts and water drainage in the Barton's Bench area.
When mining was finished, non-native grass species were planted, but native plants and trees could not take hold in competition with the grass and compacted land, he said.
In addition to compacted land, mining roads that ran through the area were causing improper precipitation drainage. Hard land does not allow rain and snow to seep into the ground and drain slowly into natural streams. Instead, water drains quickly across the surface, causing erosion.
Mining roads aggravated this process by funneling the fast-draining water into channels which dug into forest lands.
This eventually resulted, Owen said, in what are known as headcuts. A headcut can be envisioned by picturing a stream that constantly erodes its banks, eats away the lower part of the bank and causes the upper part to fall into the water. A normal stream is stable and does not erode its banks, but fast-moving water can create headcuts.
A headcut not only destroys the surface it touches but also is a source of sediment pollution, Owen said. Eroded sediment ends up in the final drainage area where the draining water ends up, such as a separate stream.
Owen also discussed the actions taken in the few years before this current project.
The Forest Service addressed the various problems by designating Barton's Bench as a Spruce restoration area, CVI documents said, which includes the planting of red spruce trees.
The Forest Service's first action was to aerate as much land as they could. This was completed more than two years ago with funding granted from the WVDEP, he said.
The Forest Service used a grater, pulled behind a bulldozer, to cut several-foot trenches into the soil, allowing water to seep in slowly. The result is land that's significantly less compacted and allows for plant species to take root.
He said a freeze/thaw cycle will exacerbate the process. As water gets into the dirt it can freeze, expand and separate it even further.
"We want water to be in the soil," Owen said.
After the Forest Service's efforts, the CVI was called in to help.
"Our mission is to restore streams," said Todd Miller, director of aquatic restoration at CVI.
Owen said Miller and the CVI have the resources and flexibility to accomplish many tasks that the Forest Service couldn't do alone. CVI workers Ken Dzaack, Josh Saville, Will Postlethwait and Miller are all working on this project.
Following the land aeration, Miller planned the decomissioning of all roads in Barton's Bench, a multi-step process that includes digging up dirt that will be repositioned to mimic the natural slope of the hill on which the road sits. Native species can also be planted in the area to decrease erosion.
In forest areas where there are many trees, Miller showed the Inter-Mountain decomissioned roads that were covered in grasses, leaves and dead trees. CVI is closing each road as they work backward toward the entrance of Barton's Bench.
Additionally, wetlands areas are being created in two spots where the land is covered mostly in grass. The two wetlands were positioned downhill from multiple service roads and will be used to help that area collect precipitation, slow erosion and create a wildlife habitat, Miller said.
"This is one of the wetter places in the state," Miller said, with more than 50 inches of rain a year, making the area a suitable spot for wetland.
Wood chips will be dumped into each wetland pool area. The chips will decompose and create dark, wetland soils, Miller said.
He also said a mix of wetland seeds will be planted, and will require a freeze and thaw cycle to germinate. Snags, or dead trees, will be placed in the pools so that birds and bats will have a place to perch and hunt.
Miller said plants are the first step to creating a sustainable habitat. Plants stabilize the soil and create a suitable place for various animal species to thrive.
Runoff areas for the wetlands are also being built by the CVI crew. A series of steps are being created to emulate natural runoff areas.
Large rocks, Miller said, are placed at the front of each step, to keep the shape stable. After the remainder of each step is filled in with dirt, a mesh is placed along the banks. The mesh will keep the banks from eroding for several months while trees and plants grow in the soil.
The mesh is made of coconut fiber and is completely biodegradable.
"We try to increase our chances of success by enhancing what is already there," Miller said. "You do what nature did, if you can emulate that."

As far as DWI arrests go, you might say it was like shooting fish in a barrel.
State Police said a 56-year-old Buffalo man was arrested Tuesday as he entered a road check in the city – while drinking a beer.
It happened shortly before 6 p.m. on Lisbon Avenue, where a road check was being conducted by the Buffalo Strike Force Unit, which enforces the mayor's zero-tolerance law enforcement initiative. A trooper saw that Lester L. McDue, of Lawn Avenue, was drinking a beer while driving a vehicle that had bald tires, police reported.
McDue failed sobriety tests and was charged with driving while intoxicated, police said; a breath test indicated a blood-alcohol content of 0.09 percent. He was released on tickets to appear in Buffalo City Court.

A Lancaster man who sued Buffalo Hospital Supply after suffering injuries in a 2007 work accident was awarded $1.95 million by a jury though he will collect less than that.
Bradley R. Pettit, 60, suffered injuries in an unwitnessed fall off an improperly loaded delivery truck while making a delivery to a nursing home, said his lawyer, Stephen R. Foley of the Paul William Beltz law firm. The jury, however, reduced the worker's award by 30 percent for his role in the accident, Foley said.
"The jury found my client 30 percent at fault," Foley said.
Lawyers for both sides reached a high-low agreement prior to verdict, whereby the worker would have received a minimum of $300,000, even if the jury had come back with a lower amount or nothing at all, but a maximum of $1.2 million, even if the jury had come back with a higher amount. Some other issues could further affect the final amount, Foley said. Jurors returned the verdict after two weeks of testimony.
Foley said the injury occurred because the truck had been improperly loaded and a pallet jack was stuck in a pallet. Pettit was injured trying to free the pallet jack, and in pulling on the handle, fell off the back of the trailer when it sprung free. His back injuries required surgery and have prevented him from returning to work.

At 6 p.m. Saturday, the University at Buffalo's Anderson Gallery (1 Martha Jackson Place) will open "Transmutation," an exhibition of new work by accomplished Rochester-based photographer Carl Chiarenza.
In his abstract black and white photographs, Chiarenza captures collages of materials he has assembled in his studio that are arranged and lighted to suggest otherworldly scenes and other borderline-recognizable images that defy viewers' attempts to pin down exactly what they might represent. His work has been shown in dozens of galleries and museums in some 80 solo exhibitions and 250 group shows, according to an article in the alumni magazine of the Rochester Institute of Technology, where Chiarenza teaches.
"Chiarenza transforms the natural world rather than recording it, contributing to the ongoing debate generated by digital imaging as it relates to our notions of lens-based truth," a statement on the Anderson Gallery show reads. "For Chiarenza, the camera, lens, and exposure time are only starting points for shaping the image."
The exhibition runs through Feb. 24. Call 829-3754 or visit www.ubartgalleries.org.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — Out of challenges, come opportunities.
The Tahoe Fund, a private nonprofit organization created in 2010, is proof of that, rising up to fill a funding need for environmentally centered projects around the basin at a time when federal and state dollars are drying up.
"Public-private partnerships is really a new trend, and they're seeing it happen all over the country," said Tahoe Fund CEO Amy Berry, who was hired in May 2012. "Specific to environmental work, it's not a new concept at all — we just never needed it in Tahoe."
It's a funding trend she doesn't foresee ending anytime soon. By collecting private dollars from an array of funders — companies, foundations and private individuals — the Tahoe Fund has helped fund six basin projects in the past two years.
"Sometimes our donations or our funding isn't huge, but it's a tipping point for the project," said Allen Biaggi, a member of the fund's board of directors, during a joint interview with Berry on Monday. "It gets the project to a point where it can actually happen and can actually occur, and that's very valuable."
In 2011, the Tahoe Fund gave $50,000 to help complete a segment of the Tahoe bike trail network, provide Van Sickle Bi-State Park operating support, and help UC Davis publish its annual State of the Lake report.
In 2012, the fund gave about $55,000 to the Incline Village Third Creek restoration project, the Rabe Meadow Bike Trail on the South Shore, and the lower Blackwood Creek and Eagle Rock Restoration project on the West Shore.
"There's a sense right now that environmental improvement projects are kind of nice to have, but really what we understand at this level, is their need to have; they're critical," Berry said. "If we don't get these projects funded and in the ground, we're going to have serious environmental issues at the lake."
As for this year, the Tahoe Fund plans on awarding funding to four or five projects, including lookouts at Sand Harbor and a bridge at Angora Creek, Berry said, endeavors that wouldn't be possible without private donations.
To date, the Tahoe Fund has raised more than $1 million through multi-year pledges, grants and donations, Berry said.
"It's amazing how quickly the Fund took off and raised a bunch of money, but if you raise a bunch of money and then give it all away, we're not going to be here for the long term," she said. "The goal is long-term sustainability."
The Founders Circle, a campaign that's raised about $860,000 for the organization since May 2011 with the goal of hitting the $1 million mark this year, features corporate donors such as Vail Resorts, alongside foundations such as the Blum Family Foundation and private individuals such as Woody and Denise Shackleton.
"We decided to become Founders Circle members because we believe in preserving and protecting the unique beauty of the entire Lake Tahoe Basin, while also facilitating responsible developments that allow residents and visitors to get the most out of their Tahoe experiences," the Shackletons said in a Tahoe Fund quarterly newsletter.
As for if conflicts arise on how to use the money due to its range of funders, Berry said there are none.
"An operating principle for a nonprofit is to try to have a diverse mix of funds coming in," she said. "If you put all of your support into one bucket and the bucket goes away, you're in trouble, so most nonprofits try to have a really good mix of revenue."
Projects the Tahoe Fund supports have to be ones that are ready to go; can be categorized as either conservation, recreation or education; and take place all around the lake, with the board of directors — just as diverse as its donors — making the final project selections.
"I've been pleasantly surprised at how little conflict there is," Biaggi said. "Sure, there is differences in opinion, but people here, on the board, are here to work together and to come up with solutions."
The future
Three years after its inception, everything is in place for the organization, Berry said, and the next focus will be to expand the Tahoe Fund by doing more outreach.
"Lake Tahoe isn't perceived just as a local resource; it's a world-wide recognized environmental gem, so there's a lot of people out there who are willing to put resources toward its protection," said Biaggi, adding that outreach is being conducted in San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, besides around the basin.
As for the long term, the organization hopes to raise $50 million for projects over the next 10 years, said Cindy Gustafson, board of directors chair, with a chuckle.
"I think if we grow as successfully as we hope to, hopefully there's a few more zeros at the end of the checks we're writing," Berry added.

Electronic Intelligence Development for Wearable Applications
Hännikäinen, Jaana
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2006-11-24
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology;630
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Department of Electrical Engineering
Department: Institute of Electronics
In recent years there has been an enormous growth in the diversity and market penetration of small electronics appliances. Nowadays, people commonly carry such devices as mobile phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), and electronic sports accessories as an essential part of daily life. These devices are typically carried in pockets or bags and handheld when in use. User Interface (UI) devices are located on strategic parts of the body such as the wrist to facilitate free and easy access to them. An ease-of-use solution for carrying the increasing number of such personal devices is to embed or integrate them into clothing and accessories. Such solutions are known as wearable electronics systems and they are becoming essential aids for people in a wide range of applications areas such as communication, maintenance and repair, and location and navigation. This trend has caused a growing need to create smaller and lighter devices which can be unobtrusively integrated and embedded in clothing. To achieve this, suitable applications for mobile environments as well as specific clothing-like technologies for their design and implementation need to be developed. This study investigated specific applications utilising clothing as electronics platforms to ascertain whether usable clothing platform applications can be designed and implemented. This was done by implementing five wearable electronics application prototypes as clothing platforms: a fully functional smart clothing prototype for survival in arctic environments, two electrical heating prototypes to maintain users thermal comfort conditions, a personal positioning vest for fishing, and a bioimpedance measurement suit for Total Body Water (TBW) estimation. For the implementation, application-specific solutions were utilized. Functionality, user acceptance, and usability of prototypes were verified. Usability evaluations were also made for a specific location and information service application. This was done to elicit the importance of usability evaluations in the wearable electronics field and also to evaluate user acceptance of the new technological devices and applications. Specific materials required for the construction of comfortable clothing platform applications are Electrically Conductive Fiber (ECF) yarns, which are used in power and data transfer as well as in sensing elements. In addition, a concept of button component encasing for electronics components has been developed. Here, the components are hidden and connected to the clothes in a tailored way. Flexible Printed Wiring Board (PWB) is also utilized as a platform for a wearable antenna to achieve wearer comfort in wireless data transmission applications. The implemented prototypes proved functional and it was demonstrated that such systems could be constructed utilizing clothing platforms. To ensure user acceptance, the usability of the systems and end user needs were considered key elements in the design process.
