Patty Duke
Once a Prisoner of Her Mentor's Ambition, She Has Taken Charge of Her Life and Her Union
Little Patty Duke—and at an even five feet she still Is little—giggles at her self-parody. "That's exactly how I feel about it," she says, "like someone who's been watching me on TV all these years." But Patty Duke fans who remember her as the Broadway prodigy from The Miracle Worker or as the reckless young actress who kept Hollywood gossip columnists guessing are in for a shock. Little Patty Duke is the mother of five sons, plays strictly adult roles onscreen and off and two weeks ago succeeded Ed Asner as president of the Screen Actors Guild.
For Patty it has been a watershed year, another turning point in a life that could have been written by Dickens, with music and lyrics by Freud. Running for the SAG presidency against actor Ed Nelson (she had the endorsement of Asner and the union's nominating committee), Duke spoke and pumped hands on both coasts. Though her ABC series, Hail to the Chief, collapsed last summer after only seven episodes, she rebounded quickly, recently completing A Time to Triumph, a CBS movie in which she plays a woman who joins the Army to support her family. Her 13-year marriage to actor-director John Astin, which had its stormy ups and downs, ended last February in divorce. And she has begun to relive her entire turbulent and sometimes painful career for an autobiography to be published by Bantam Books.
Duke's SAG victory, by 3,400 votes out of more than 19,000 cast, may have written finis to the much publicized feuding between the union's social and political activist wing headed by Asner and more conservative members united under the rubric Actors Working for an Actors Guild, co-founded by Charlton Heston. "The so-called war between Ed Asner and Charlton Heston has been blown out of proportion," says Duke. "The real issues for actors are wages, working hours and working conditions, and those are the issues I will address. I think I have something to offer as someone who is nonthreatening, who really does want to listen to all sides, who wants to reunite the guild and bring dignity back to being a member."
Two nonunion issues she will be involved with are the currently moribund ERA and the movement for a nuclear freeze. "I made a promise to my youngest son to work for the freeze, and that promise means more to me than any other promise I make," she explains. Duke has also been raising money for AIDS research and was cheered at a recent rally in West Hollywood when she told a primarily gay audience that she was concerned about the disease not only because of her own fears but because "I have two sons who are about to become sexually active, and I think they should be educated about the dangers of AIDS, just as they are educated about birth control."
Duke is close to all five of her sons—three of them stepsons from Astin's first marriage—and has a busy time just keeping track of them. "They are all good boys, and by 'good' I mean people who care about how other people feel. David, the oldest, is 26 and works in the computer industry. Allen, who is 24, has traveled to India and is a follower of the teachings of Baba Muktananda. I am fascinated by his change from a Mr. Macho, with loud music and fast women, to this searching for inner peace. If you say you are a Catholic or a Jew, everyone says, 'Oh, fine.' But if you are questing, you get pegged as a weirdo. I was guilty of that with Al for a while, but now we have wonderful discussions. My 20 year old, Tom, is starting UCLA. It has been a struggle getting him there, but no different from the same sort of struggle in other households."
Despite their mother's frequent proclamations that no child of hers would ever set foot on a stage, Duke's two youngest sons have embarked on acting careers. Sean, 14, made his big-screen debut in Steven Spielberg's The Goonies and incredibly receives 4,000 pieces of fan mail a week. He is currently on location in Quincy, Calif. filming Rites of Spring with director Jeff Bleckner. Mackenzie, 12, is very audibly still at home with his collection of rock albums, which he plays when not in his seventh grade classroom or on the set of NBC's The Facts of Life. Both kids remember that Patty discouraged their early interest in acting. "She had a bad time of it when she was a kid," says Sean. "But when she saw that it was going to be okay for us, she changed her mind and helped us get into the business."
Bad time of it when she was a kid? For Patty Duke, one of the most successful child actresses in history? She began at 8 in a TV docudrama with her brother. By the time she was 13, she had earned top billing on Broadway as the young Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker. For her role in the movie version, she became the youngest actress ever to win an Academy Award. At 16 she was starring in her own television series, The Patty Duke Show, which ran for three years. "Yes, I was successful, but the price I paid was terrible," she says. "My parents were very poor when I was a child, and my father left when I was 7. I never saw him again. I was introduced to acting by John and Ethel Ross, New York theatrical managers who had helped my brother, Raymond, to get started in show business. As I became more successful in small parts and commercials, they began to take over my life, as well as my career."
Realizing Patty's potential, the Rosses persuaded Frances Duke that she should allow her daughter to live with them. "What a horrible, heartbreaking decision that must have been for my mother," says Duke. "She was alone and insecure and wanted to do the right thing for her child. She thought the Rosses had a kind of magic that would make my life wonderful. If you tell that to someone who is from a poor family, orphaned herself at the age of 5, separated from her husband, Catholic and guilty for breathing—well, it works. Of course to me as a child, it was a clear case of abandonment. I thought, 'What did I do wrong? Now how do I please these folks so that I don't get sent off someplace else?' "
The Rosses didn't hesitate to suggest possibilities, effectively cutting Patty off from her mother and setting out to remake the little girl as a star. They changed her name, Anna Marie, to Patty (partly because of another child actress, Patty McCormack) and told her, "Anna Marie is dead." They taught her what to say and how to say it, paring away her New York accent and training her in a repertoire of carefully rehearsed little speeches. Patty, who prefers to be called Anna Marie by her family and friends, remembers her childhood as a form of solitary confinement. "We lived insulated lives," she says. "I saw no one but the Rosses except on the set. They obsessively controlled my life so that I never had an opinion about anything, including my own personal bathing habits, what I wore or even closing the door to my room. I became a perfect Stepford child."
So perfect was her obedience that in 1959 she perjured herself before a New York grand jury investigating TV quiz shows. The year before she had tied with child star Eddie Hodges on The $64,000 Challenge, answering questions about popular music. Like many other contestants, Patty had been told in advance what to say, and the Rosses later coached her to lie to the grand jury. Then she was summoned to appear before a House subcommittee, where she lied again. "At the very end of my testimony, a Congressman looked at me very sternly and asked me if I was sure I had told the truth," she remembers. "I have no idea what came over me, whether it was fear or a sense that the jig was up. I said, 'No, sir. Everything I just told you was a lie.' We started all over again and I told everything I knew about anybody, anywhere, anytime, anyplace. I was only 12 years old, and I didn't want to go to one of those reform schools! Of course it was a good thing I said what I did because Charles Van Doren had already told the truth and the subcommittee knew that I was lying."
Onstage and onscreen and even in newspaper interviews, Patty Duke was a happy, talented prodigy. "But behind that facade something dark and sinister was going on," she says. "The fear of losing me so permeated the Rosses' psyches that on every level of human relations there was distortion. There was an inordinate amount of drinking and of behavior based on that loss of control. You name it, it happened." She continues, refusing to be more specific, "I have been trying to sort it out in years of analysis, and I am finally ready to talk about it in my book. But I want to tell it all. And I want to try to understand the Rosses."
A baroque twist to the story is that Patty's mother was hired to go once a week to the Rosses' apartment to do their laundry by hand. "I know now that she noticed what was going on, but she obviously felt powerless to do anything about it," says Patty. "She was overwhelmed. Every time I talked to her she was upset.... I'll never know the depths probably, but I can have a pretty good idea of how much and how long she suffered. This is a woman who barely spoke for years because of the pain she was in. She only forgave herself about three years ago. She's 73 years old, and she has just blossomed since she came out of that tunnel of depression."
Patty finally broke with the Rosses' in 1965 when, at 18, she married Harry Falk Jr., a 32-year-old assistant director on The Patty Duke Show. Two years later she co-starred in the film version of Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls, playing the pill-popping, boozing neurotic Neely O'Hara. Many people came to suspect it was a case of casting to type. Rumors linking Duke to drugs, alcoholism and erratic behavior were reinforced by her rambling and incoherent appearance on the nationally televised Emmy Awards show in 1970. "The truth of the matter is that my condition had nothing to do with drugs or alcohol. I was having a serious emotional breakdown," she says. "Unlike most people in trouble who fall apart in the privacy of their bedrooms, I fell apart on network television."
Considering the circumstances her condition was hardly surprising. Still recovering from her divorce from Falk three months earlier, Duke had found herself pregnant by John Astin, who was married to someone else. For a good Catholic girl, abortion was put of the question. A short time after the Emmy ceremony, Patty, frantic with guilt, proceeded to marry a "total stranger" whom she met when he came to sublet her apartment in Las Vegas. (They were together for 13 days and the marriage was annulled a year later.) Meanwhile Patty had attempted to resolve her anger toward her surrogate father, John Ross. But before she could mail a letter of reconciliation, she received the news of his death. "On top of this my mother was having problems, and I was the only one in the family who could deal with them, although I was barely able to cope myself."
She pulled herself through with the help of a psychoanalyst and the loving support of John Astin, to whom she still refers with obvious warmth. Discussing their recent divorce, she says, "There is a deep and abiding love between us, but we just don't get along. It's sort of like fingernails on the blackboard. He does it to me and I do it to him. We even laugh about it sometimes because it's so absurd." She pauses, the eyes glisten. "Since I'm learning not to deal in absolutes, even though we're divorced the possibility exists that we might be back together," she says.
Perhaps wishing that might be true, Patty has made no move to date other men. "I spent more than a third of my life with John," she says. "Getting used to the idea of dating is very difficult. I'm not the only 38 year old with this problem, but what do you do? What are the rules?" After a moment she adds, "Also there is this shadow—and I say 'shadow' not meaning anything spooky—but there is this ghost that hasn't found its resting place yet. So it's hard. It's not tragic. It's not really painful anymore. It's just strange."
Recently, as a kind of occupational therapy, Patty found herself surrounded by men, all more corporeal than ghostly, at the Fort Benning, Ga. location for A Time to Triumph, where she worked herself into shape without benefit of aerobics and leotards. "I was in basic training for the first week of the show and lost eight pounds," she says. "I had two drill sergeants teaching me how to march and do push-ups, and I had to learn how to fly a helicopter—or at least look like I knew how to fly it."
Says director Noel Black: "Patty threw herself into this part with all her energy, which is exactly why we chose her. We couldn't have done this story with some glamour girl. We needed somebody who can act the hell out of it." That of course is what Patty Duke has been doing all her life, through occasional thick and much thin. From indentured juvenile to tortured adult to union leader before her 39th birthday, she has paid heavy dues and plans to keep paying. "I can assure you," she says, still sweating from one of her workouts, "the roles don't get any easier, either onscreen or off."

Incredibly lemon-y!

If you want just lemon tea - not lemon and some other flavour - this is the tea for you. It is incredibly lemony but not bitter. Just clear lemon tea flavour and no ginger or honey (although you could add those). I tried this on a Holland America cruise and now I won't buy any other lemon tea. It's the best! (Oh and the Earl Grey is very very good too!)
I Love Lemon!

Shipped promptly just before the holidays, I bought enough to send all my siblings. I have only been able to find this tea in Bigelow's variety packs with only 3 tea bags worth of this specific tea. I was so happy to find boxes of it online.

Use of GD Star Rating at WordPress Plugin Guide
GD Star Rating is extensively used at the WordPress Plugin Guide. We've put some small parts of all screenshots into one image :
A description of all numbers :
- Check out the Editor Rating table at the bottom of this post (1.). You can easily (multi)rate a product/service/whatever in your post by giving it a rating (10.) in your post's edit window in the admin interface. With a shortcode or function you can display this (multi) rating block anywhere in your post
- Display the result of your own rating in standard or customized format (2.). We have used both formats for WPPG, the customized one is the green badge next to the editor rating table displaying the numeric average of the rating (we modified a T2 template within the plugin to achieve this, and added a custom graphic to create our own identity). The standard format use you can find at the Overall Plugins Rating table (6.), also at the bottom of this post, here the average score is displayed both graphical (in star icons) and normal text (numeric).
- The possibility to let someone vote for the reviewed plugin (4.) – at the bottom where you can add comments. When a user submit his/her comments together with the vote the rating will appear next to the user's name (3.), so you can see besides the users' comment also his/her vote.
- Display the average vote of all users combined together – this is the blue badge on top of this post (5.), and it also displays the total number of votes. The average rating is continuously updated as soon as a new user vote is recorded. This badge is also custom made, similar to the editor badge. Another way of displaying the average user vote can be found at the Overall Plugins Rating table (6.), also at the bottom of this post, here it's displayed as an average both graphical (star icons) and text (numeric average), and the number of votes.
- Scroll down completely to the dark blue footer, where you can see Highest Rated Plugins (7.). This is a top 10 of all WP plugins reviewed at this blog (as WPPG is very new 10 plugins weren't reviewed at the time of writing this article). It's displayed as the average user vote (in stars), and also you can see a trend icon at the left which indicates if a plugin has changed it's position in the top 10 (up, equal, down).
- Rate this post : at the end of this post there is a blue table showing some post facts (post date, revision date, post views etc.), and at the right you will see Rate this post : (8.) where you can vote for the post – if you liked it or not – by clicking a thumb up or down. The result is displayed right below the thumb images, and it simply summarizes the number of positive and negative votes (so 15 positive and 3 negative votes will display +12). Also the number of votes is beeing displayed here.
- In the sidebar there is a widget Highest rated posts (9.), which displays the top 10 highest rated posts (which were rated at "Rate this post:"), and it's voting trend with an icon (up, equal, down).
As you already noticed the plugin is widely used here at WPPG, but still we don't use all features !
Our Opinion
GD Star Rating is an incredible good plugin for WordPress, you will be amazed by the great number of useful features, and it certainly leaves it's competition far behind (both paid and free review themes and plugins). Documentation is perfect, excellent support and the plugin produces very nice results. Also an uninstall is available, so your database won't be left with clutter when you want to uninstall the plugin from your website. We couldn't think right now about a new feature which we would like to see at the GD Star Rating plugin (recently we suggested the "Rich Snippets" feature and the author implemented it in a week :)), everything we need is covered right now.
One little thing though, which is quite logical : the plugin is quite hard to setup if you want to use the same advanced features as we did. As there are so many options this is not the one-click-setup simple plugin, this one will take some of your time to get it up and running smoothly. The author of GDSR also offers premium support at a very reasonable rate in case you don't have the time / knowledge to set it up.

TV Host Huell Howser Dies
Hosted PBS show "California Gold"
KCET confirms Huell Howser passed away of natural causes. Howser is best known for hosting the PBS show "California's Gold", which ran for 19 years on PBS. The Riverside County Coroner's Office confirms the host died in Palm Springs at 2:35 a.m. Monday of natural causes.
Howser started his television career at WSM in Nashville after graduating from the University of Tennessee, working for a United States senator and serving in the Marine Corps. He hosted a magazine-style series at WCBS in New York City before moving to Los Angeles in 1981 to work as a reporter for CBS2, according to his website.
He joined public television station KCET in 1987 to produce "Videolog," short programs featuring people's unique stories. The series later expanded to people and places throughout California.
Howser quietly retired from "California Gold" late last year, amid rumors about his failing health. His assistant, Ryan Morris, told the Los Angeles Times in November that Howser was retiring from filming new shows, saying he "is just trying to get away from television and enjoy some free time." Howser was 67.

The exact cause of the fire has not yet determined, said Joe Greco, spokesman for the East Bank Consolidated Fire Department. Wood's body was discovered after a neighbor called 911 just after 2:30 p.m. to report smoke coming from the house, located at 1100 Lair Ave.
The woman entered the single-story brick home through a back door and unlocked the front door for firefighters. Greco said crews quickly contained the blaze, which was confined to the bedroom where Wood's body was found.
The home's front yard was cordoned off with yellow crime scene tape Monday evening as investigators moved in and out of the house. Wood's relatives stood just a few feet from the tape, speaking with investigators. The house looked intact except for the charred bedroom, which could be seen though a broken window.
Greco said the Sheriff's Office will take over the investigation into the fire. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the detective Solomon Burke at 504.364.5300.

Additional Gripe of The Day: My brother just belted out a couple of pullups before my eyes with ease. Being two years younger than I and in shape two years longer than I, I expected him to do one. Not four in a row easily. He's been doing it off and on for a year now so he says (how would I know, he never comes out of his room!) and I have been officially owned.
Though I'm impressed, I'm additionally pissed beyond all belief. This will serve as motivation to get some upper body strength.

I'm participating in the Spend-Less Holidays: Saving While Savoring the Season Blog Carnival, hosted by The Frugal Fil-Am and Dainty Mom. We'll be sharing our tips on how to spend less this holiday season, so that we can have a more meaningful Christmas. Please scroll down to the end of the post to see the list of carnival entries.
Merry voices in the streets are already singing Christmas carols this early. Christian families have already put up their Christmas trees waiting to exchange gifts during their reunion. Children are now counting the days until Santa graces them presents on Christmas Eve. Much delight is felt almost everywhere – from the twinkling lights and gleeful songs in malls to the extravagant decors set up in shopping districts. Almost everybody is getting busy preparing gifts and this is just as expected this holiday season. Since Christmas is coming once again, everyone is getting prepared for the holy day of gift-giving.
Those who are well-off have started going to prime shopping places like Hong Kong just to purchase exquisite gifts for their loved ones. Workers who have received their bonuses early have already started to stack presents for Christmas. Some who have long lists must have already been lining up in popular shops for discounted items. While others who are yet to receive their salaries or bonuses still await the chance that they get to prepare for the holidays too.
Thus, the commercialization of Christmas has indeed dictated the way we prepare gifts or presents. If not at least, this is how most of us act during the holiday seasons. However, the essence of Christmas is all about the thought of remembering our loved ones .The most cherished presents are not the expensive ones but those that come from our hearts.
So if you are on a tight budget, you can still prepare your presents this early. Simply materialize low-cost yet brilliant ideas that would be most appreciated by your friends and relatives. To help you get by, here are some budget-friendly gift ideas for you.
Giving cards is the most popular among those people who are on a tight budget. It doesn't cost much and if they are sent via email, it barely costs even a cent. Plus, they are almost always handy for those who are greeting too many people during holidays. This is best given to acquaintances, colleagues and friends. It is also best given to loved ones who live across seas.
Many people love handcrafted items. Simple figurines embellished with laces and ribbons are popular among teens and wives, while wooden or plastic miniatures are most appreciated by youngsters and male fanatics. All you have to do is purchase low-cost base figures that can be decorated and artsy materials that you can embellish on them. You can also have fun by personalizing them with unique features that your recipients would most likely prefer.

If you have the talent in arts, you can give your friends or family members drawn portraits as presents. This gift idea is brilliant since you can personalize it to suit your recipient's personality. For instance, you may do comic-style cartooning for those who love funny sentiments, and abstract renderings for those who love paintings. Also, it does not cost a lot since all you need to purchase are ready-made and budget-friendly picture frames besides drawing paper, inks or paint.

Baked Goodies
If you love baking, this is your chance to show your loved ones how sweet you can be this Christmas. Cakes, cookies, candies and other sweet goodies are popular during the holidays. You can bake these items, pack them in simple jars, hand-made boxes or cellophane wrappers and your gift would surely look more delightful than those purchased in bakeshops.

Photo Collections or Collage
Giving away photo collages or photo collections is one sure way of letting a person know that you cherish the moments with them. You do not need to spend thousands of bucks to do this since there are cheap photo booklets that you can use to keep all your favorite photos intact. Also, printing pictures does not cost a lot. There are even photo shops that offer discounted prices for batch printing of pictures.

Industry leaders back AMIMON's Wireless Home Digital Interface technology
July 25, 2008 AMIMON, Hitachi, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp and Sony have formed an interest group to develop a standard for multi-room connectivity using AMIMON's Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI) technology.
WHDI is enabled by a video-modem that uses the unlicensed 5GHz band to enable wireless delivery of secure, encrypted and uncompressed 1080p HD video across every room of a house - with a latency of less than one millisecond.
The standard aims to become the wireless HDMI, offering consumers a foolproof way to connect a newly purchased Blu-ray player or game console, free of proprietary connections and cables. Good thing Dr. David Lee, founder of the HDMI standard, is a member of AMIMON's board of directors.
All we need now is wireless power...

While the NFL draft is usually a time for teams to pick up young players to build for the future, the San Francisco 49ers made a move to bring in a veteran who will help immediately.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the 49ers traded a conditional pick for Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson:
Filed to ESPN: 49ers trading a conditional 2015 4th-round pick to Buffalo for WR Stevie Johnson, per sources. Pick can become a 3rd.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 9, 2014
Interestingly, he also noted later that more maneuvering got that selection back for San Francisco:
SF just got Denver's 4th-round pick in 2015...so WR Stevie Johnson is coming to 49ers for free.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 10, 2014
ESPN's Jamele Hill was one of many who liked the move for the 49ers based on the upgrade it provided to the team's receiving corps:
For the 49ers to have a WR corp of Crabtree, Boldin and Stevie Johnson...#MommyLikey— Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) May 9, 2014
Based on what we have seen in his career, Johnson is a unique talent who can be extremely productive out of the slot. He had over 1,000 receiving yards in three consecutive years from 2010-12, totaling 23 touchdowns in that stretch.
Although his numbers dropped last season while he played only 12 games, he has still shown the ability to beat some really good cornerbacks attempting to stop him in man coverage. Field Yates of ESPN notes how well he did against Darrelle Revis in his career:
Stevie Johnson was one of very few WR who have previously had success when being covered by Revis. Patriots not sad to see him traded.— Field Yates (@FieldYates) May 9, 2014
As for San Francisco, the coaching staff is hoping that he can beat another elite cornerback in Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks. Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus shows that he has done this in the past:
The only question for the 49ers is whether they will be able to use him to his full abilities.
For years, San Francisco has been a run-first team. In most cases, the squad runs second and runs third as well. This past season, it finished dead last in the NFL in passing attempts, averaging just over 26 per game.
This is exactly what the team was built to do. According to Khaled Elsayed of Pro Football Focus, the offensive line was the No. 3 unit in the league in run blocking. Frank Gore has been known as one of the toughest runners in the NFL for a long time, while Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James had solid seasons as well in 2013.
Additionally, the 49ers used a second-round pick on running back Carlos Hyde, something that will cause more big lineups in the offense, according to Bleacher Report's Matt Bowen:
RB Carlos Hyde to the #49ers means more 2/3 TE sets + Power O, Lead, Counter OF, etc. Line up & run downhill.— Matt Bowen (@MattBowen41) May 10, 2014
While this run-heavy strategy has led to success in the past, it becomes a problem against good defenses. The team was held to single digits on three different occasions last season as the one-dimensional unit could not make plays when needed.
The problem was that the 49ers did not have the personnel to expand the passing game. While Anquan Boldin had a big season in his first year with the club, Michael Crabtree missed most of the year due to injury and no one stepped up in his absence.
In the end, Boldin and tight end Vernon Davis combined for 20 of the team's 21 receiving touchdowns in 2013.
However, Crabtree should be healthy the entire season and will look to pair with Boldin to make a formidable duo on the outside. Bringing in Johnson—as well as fourth-round pick Bruce Ellington—gives the team added targets in the slot.
The key will be for the coaching staff to find a way to get these players on the field at the same time. They have to find a way to give quarterback Colin Kaepernick as many options as possible.
One of the biggest criticism for Kaepernick is that he is a one-read passer who does not know what to do when his first option is covered. Of course, he was hurt by the lack of alternatives on a regular basis. Secondary targets like Kyle Williams or Mario Manningham simply could not get open.
This should not be a problem when the 49ers spread their offense next season. Johnson can beat almost any cornerback in the slot, and the combination of Boldin and Crabtree should have good opportunities down the field.
The pressure is now on offensive coordinator Greg Roman. He has to find a way to spread the field and utilize Kaepernick's skill in the passing game instead of just relying on the run. Otherwise, the team will suffer a similar fate of falling just short of a championship for the third season in a row.

ONE of the most sacred tenets in the psychoanalytic tradition—one to which I subscribed unquestioningly during most of my professional life—is that regardless of what other limitations might exist in the method of psychoanalysis, the technique of free association was without a doubt the best and most dependable avenue that had yet been devised for bringing into consciousness the unconscious sources of the patient's neurotic difficulties. This conviction rested on certain fundamental cornerstones of psychoanalytic thought—the concepts of psychic determinism, repression, and resistance. The basic assumptions involved were that psychic processes are not capricious in nature and are subject to the fundamental laws of cause and effect. Therefore, bypassing the defensive resistances of the patient by having him say everything that went through his mind meant that whatever he was unwittingly repressing would sooner or later come into consciousness like a cork bobbing

Tenth IACP Asia/Pacific Executive Policing Conference, Taipei, Taiwan
By Michael W. Robinson, U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service Fellow to the IACP
he 10th IACP Asia/Pacific Executive Policing Conference was held at the Grand Hotel in Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China (ROC), March 29–31, 2009. Serving as host was the director general of the Taiwan National Police Agency, Wang Cho-Chiun; the event attracted over 450 police executives from approximately 27 countries. Representing the IACP were Chief Russell B. Laine, IACP president; Chief Michael J. Carroll, IACP first vice president; Chief Susan Riseling, IACP vice president at large; Mohamed Abdulaziz Al-Nassr, IACP international vice president; Commissioner Julian Fantino, IACP North American world regional chair; Daniel N. Rosenblatt, executive director of the IACP; Paul Santiago, director of the IACP International Policing Division; Michael W. Robinson, U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service fellow to the IACP; and William Walls, U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) fellow to the IACP.
The day before the opening ceremony, the IACP International Managers of Police Academy and College Training (IMPACT) Section, chaired by Professor Richard Mears of the University of Maine at Augusta, held a seminar titled, "The Challenge of Police Education and Training in the 21st Century," which attracted a standing room–only attendance of international police trainers and criminal justice professors. Speakers at the IMPACT seminar (and the titles of their presentations) included the following:
The IMPACT Section has increasingly conducted similar seminars in many of the IACP's recent international conferences, providing a value-added benefit to all IACP members in attendance.
The conference organizing committee of the National Police Agency invited many globally recognized professionals to lecture in their related fields of expertise; some of those that presented are as follows:
Because of the hard work and dedication of Director General Wang and the organizing committee of the National Police Agency, the 10th IACP Asia/Pacific Executive Policing Conference was a resounding success. The organization and the execution of this conference established a new benchmark that will not be easily matched. The Taiwan National Police Agency, globally recognized as a premier law enforcement agency, has amplified its ability to contribute to the fight against transnational crime through strengthening existing world partnerships and creating new ones. ■

I didn't get to attend this big party on the St Lawrence. But a few months before we moved to Canada my dad hauled out some 8mm film he had taken when he visited the city during the magic summer of Expo 87. And we kids were amazed.
We knew we were going to a really big and cold country with igloos and bears....which was pretty exciting.
But who knew we were going to Disneyland?!!!!
By the time I got there most of the pavilions had been torn down. I only go there nowadays when I go to the Canadian Grand Prix. Or watch the fireworks show at La Ronde. But it's still a special place.
As it is for so many Canadians.
"It was like a fairy tale brought into our world......There were tensions but there was hope. It was a period of great achievements...."
"It was like an old Star Trek movie. People thought we'd all end up living in domes and riding monorails."
"We were happy then. And we didn't even know it."
A time when Canadians dreamed big dreams and everything seemed possible....
So what happened? We still have the golden memories. But we seem to have lost the Big Dreams.
Somewhere along the line we lost confidence in ourselves. Maybe Quebec's growing pains turned Canadians against each other. Maybe our politicians are such hacks they can't inspire us to do great things. It's just cheap politics all the time.
Maybe free trade gutted us so much, that too many Canadians started thinking like Americans.
Like Stephen Harper's Cons do. Mimicking the Bush White House like pet monkeys. By lying to Canadians.
The rest of us need to understand: This government lies to us without compunction or apology about the most important files a government can be asked to handle.
And sounding more and more like fascists.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper suggested to police officers on Thursday that they could help the federal government with its law and order agenda by lobbying opposition MPs to pass crime bills before Parliament.
Politicizing the police force? What kind of junta general does Great Primped Leader think he is?
OMG. Isn't that scary? Soon they'll ALL be wearing sunglasses..
But despite this waking nightmare, I am still confident that Stephen Harper won't succeed in turning this country into a pathetic stunted copy of the United States.
Because forty years after Expo 67 some of that faith in ourselves lives on. And we know that we don't have to copy anyone to be great.
We can just be Canadians and build the kind of beautiful,tolerant, modern, progressive society WE want. And not something that looks like the crazy jungle of Bush Amerika.
Because if Expo 67 taught us anything it's that when Canadians dream big. Dream our own dreams. We can do anything.
Happy Anniversary Expo!!! I'm sorry I couldn't be there. But thanks for making me believe in the greatness of Canada...
Before I even arrived.
Although I am still waiting for the igloos and the bears...

Clovis murder suspect shows little emotion in court appearance
By JANET BRESENHAM
Globe-News Staff Writer
CLOVIS, N.M. - A 14-year-old girl charged with murder in the death of a schoolmate made her first court appearance on Tuesday.
Ruby Guerra has been charged with an open count of murder and two fourth-degree felony charges of tampering with evidence in connection the Friday night stabbing death of Gina McCollum, 13. She is being held without bond in the Curry County Juvenile Detention Center.
Ninth Judicial District Court Judge Robert Brack entered pleas of not guilty on Guerra's behalf, saying that was what Guerra's attorney had requested.
Guerra sat with her head down or stared straight ahead, showing little visible emotion during Tuesday's court proceedings. Her mother sobbed loudly during the hearing.
More than three dozen of McCollum's friends and family members crowded together on several rows of benches inside the district courtroom on Tuesday.
McCollum's family members said they did not want to comment on Tuesday and left the courthouse without speaking to anyone.
Guerra's family has retained the services of attorney Tom Harden of Clovis, but Harden is in a jury trial this week in Albuquerque and could not attend Tuesday's court hearing, Brack said.
However, Brack said Harden had called him Monday and again on Tuesday morning just prior to the start of Guerra's hearing to notify the court of his instructions.
Ninth Judicial District Attorney Randall Harris also filed official notice of the state's intent to try and sentence Guerra as an adult.
A separate hearing on that motion is expected to be scheduled within 10 days, officials said.
Harris also said he intends to present Guerra's case to a Curry County grand jury later this week.
Brack granted a request by both attorneys that Guerra remain in custody at the juvenile detention center, where she has been since her arrest early Saturday morning.
The judge also said that Guerra's attorney has instructed her and her family not to talk about the case.
At the conclusion of Tuesday's court hearing, as law-enforcement authorities walked over to Guerra to escort her back to jail, her mother, Triva Lopez, clung to her and erupted in loud cries again.
"I love you so much. I love you so much. I love you so much," Lopez said, with tears streaming down her face. "Oh, please, don't take my baby."
Guerra did not live with either her mother or her father, Louis Guerra, who also was sitting in court with his daughter on Tuesday.
"We love you, honey," Guerra's father said.
If Guerra is convicted and sentenced as a juvenile, the maximum penalty she could face is incarceration at the New Mexico Girls' School in Albuquerque until she is 21, Judge Brack said.
However, if Guerra is convicted and sentenced as an adult on the murder charge, she could face a maximum sentence of life in prison, Harris said.
McCollum was stabbed to death about 5:30 p.m. Friday after being beaten by several girls, Harris said.
McCollum was helping a friend clean a vacant house at 800 Calhoun St. in Clovis when she was stabbed in the neck while on the front porch, police said. Detectives have said they believe the fight erupted as the result of a longstanding feud between McCollum and one of the girls.
Officials have not said whether that girl was Guerra.

Yesterday, Tuesday, 3 May 2011, was the 20th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day, begun in Namibia as the Declaration of Windhoek, a statement of principles calling for a free, independent and pluralistic media throughout the world. Celebrations around the world were tempered with concerns about the erosion of press freedom and in South Africa, SANEF called on Government to review its proposed legislations that has seen SA downgrade from 'free press' to 'partly free'.

As governments across the African continent come under increasing pressure from critical media, 'vulture' ruling parties believe the only way to deal with this 'surrogate opposition' is to regulate it through statutory mechanisms that will eventually dent its wayward reporting. But some African voices of reason, such as Zambia's Fred M'membe, argue that the restriction of good media never produces good media.

Until 1992, journalists and editors in Ghana, and the independent media in general, have suffered a lot at the hands of undemocratic regimes, which cracked down on critical reporting and imposed strict restrictions limiting media freedom. As a new, liberal constitution was being written in 1992, media activists came out guns blazing, demanding that media suffering end and reporting become free. [view twitterfall]

Angel of Sin 2
Featuring Angel Sin
Date February 12th, 2009
Photos 70
When Angel soaked her splendiferous body in the XL Girls bath, we were there to record the event in both photographs and video. Angel, from San Diego, chose her name well. She is certainly an angelic princess. She has a fetishistic side also and is a dominatrix when she wants to be. Cult movie fans will find it very interesting that Angel is a fan of the obscure black & white 1963 Vincent Price film, The Last Man On Earth. This movie was remade by Will Smith as I Am Legend. It's surprising that a chick would even know about this movie, let alone count it as a favorite. But Angel is full of surprises. What's also surprising is that she says that she has sex only three times a month! A girl like her should be getting the hard meat every fucking night. What the hell is going on with these San Diego dudes? We hope Angel remedies this situation very quickly for her sake.

The Cancer Services Program of Albany and Rensselaer County can help! Women and men with little or no health insurance may be eligible for free cancer screenings through the Cancer Services Program (CSP). The program offers free breast, cervical and colorectal screenings, as well as prostate education.
The Cancer Services Program is funded by the New York State Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control and has many local partners and health care professionals who provide services to our patients. St. Peter's Hospital has been conducting community cancer screenings since 1997 when it became a founding sponsor of the Healthy Capital District Initiative. This legacy of care for the community continues today with St. Peter's Health Partners.
Women who are uninsured and 40 years of age or older can receive a no cost breast exam, pap smear/pelvic exam and mammogram through participating OB/GYNs and other physicians in the area. The mammogram is provided by St. Peter's and other local hospitals, as well as imaging centers in the area at no cost to the patient.
Men and women age 50 and older are eligible for colorectal (colon) cancer screening. Average risk patients are screened with an easy take home FIT kit (fecal immunochemical kit). If the patient has a family history of colon cancer, or personal history of colon cancer, adenomatous polyps, Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease or colitis, the patient will be scheduled for a colonoscopy.
If screening tests find something abnormal, diagnostic services are available through the CSP for eligible men and women at no cost.
If breast, cervical, or colon cancer is found, eligible men and women may be able to enroll in the NYS Medicaid Cancer Treatment program to receive full Medicaid coverage for the entire time they are being treated for cancer.
Men diagnosed with prostate cancer by a doctor in this program may be able to enroll in the Medicaid Cancer Treatment Program. The CSP does not pay for prostate cancer screening or diagnostic tests.
If patients have barriers to receiving care, the Cancer Services Program also offers supportive case management services.
Screenings may be done at an earlier age if there is a family history of breast or colorectal cancer.
For additional information and for upcoming events; please visit the CSP of Albany and Rensselaer Counties website or the Facebook Page: Cancer Services Program of Albany/Rensselaer County.

What is Celiac Sprue? Celiac disease is a genetic disorder. In people with celiac disease, eating certain types of protein, called gluten, sets off an autoimmune response that causes damage to the small intestine. This causes the small intestine to lose its ability to absorb the nutrients found in food, leading to malnutrition and a variety of other complications. There is no cure. The only treatment is a lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet.

On this Good Friday, millions of Christians around the world are celebrating the passion of Jesus Christ.
Believers also marked the Holy Day in the Holy Land of Israel as hundreds filled Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
"The observances of Good Friday include thousands of pilgrims walk down the Via de la Rosa," explained CBN News Mideast Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell. "They reenact the same walk that Jesus did 2000 years ago, when he was on his way to Golgatha to be crucified. So people from literally all over the world come here for Holy Week. Last Sunday on Palm Sunday, they re-enacted the walk that Jesus had one week before the crucifixion when he came into the city and the crowds shouted 'Hosanna' when he came in on the donkey and they threw palm branches before him."
"So this is a very holy week for thousands of Christian pilgrims who have come who will celebrate not only Good Friday, but Easter Sunday as well," Mitchell continued. "And there are observances throughout the city and particularly a lot of evangelical Christians look forward to the sunrise service at the garden tomb, which many people believe was actually where Jesus was buried and then Hallelujah many Christians say he rose again."

Fun lunches for kids include blueberries, spinach and tomatoes
Every night before bed, Sue Patterson packs her 10-year-old daughter, Emmy, a lunch that resembles a work of art.
Picture a heart-shaped roast beef sandwich nestled into a Hello Kitty container with colorful cups of dried fruit, olives, organic cheese and yogurt-covered pretzels. Or a pink Japanese-style bento box with a California sushi roll, shelled edamame, red grapes and kiwis cut into cute fan shapes.
Making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich would be easier. But Patterson says she's a big believer in eating a variety of healthy, organic food, so spending 15 to 20 minutes preparing her daughter's lunch is no big deal.
"It's totally worth it so she can have a good, high-quality lunch every day," Patterson says.
Not all healthy lunches have to be Pinterest-worthy. With a little planning and a fridge full of convenient kid-approved foods, parents can send their kids back to school with a midday meal that's as fun as it is nutritious.
Gary Hild, executive chef at the Culinary Center of Kansas City, says a great lunch begins with great ingredients.
"A sandwich is fine," he says, "but be sure to be a good label reader."
The chef recommends bread that says "100 percent whole wheat" on the label, mayonnaise made with olive oil, and sliced turkey or chicken that's free of fillers such as gelatin.
Swap sandwich bread for a whole-wheat wrap and you can add in extra vegetables (think shredded carrots, romaine lettuce and sliced bell peppers).
With kids, "You want to emphasize eating the rainbow," Hild says.
In other words, skip the white bread and potato chips and reach for blueberries, green spinach and red cherry tomatoes.
The only downside: Cutting up fresh fruits and vegetables can be time-consuming. Hild offers this solution: Shop at the salad bar of your grocery store for sliced vegetables, fruits, even protein like hard-boiled eggs and chicken.
"Everything's already cut," the chef says, "so it saves a lot of time, money and waste."
If your kids are picky eaters, get them involved in making their lunches, says Lily Siebert, education and outreach assistant at the Merc Co-Op in Lawrence, Kansas.
Once a month, Siebert teaches cooking classes for young chefs. One of her go-to recipes for kids is a whole-grain wrap filled with hummus, vegetables and sunflower seeds.
Siebert asks each student to choose three vegetables for their wraps.
"They're more open to trying new things when they have control," she says.
Siebert also shows kids how to make "energy balls" out of peanut butter and crispy rice cereal, yogurt parfaits with fresh kiwi and mango, and quinoa salad with black beans, avocado and cilantro.
Quinoa is also the main ingredient in the popular meatballs that Jackie Kincaid Habiger cooks for the students at Notre Dame de Sion grade school in Kansas City. Kincaid Habiger, who runs a hot lunch program called Future Foodies, serves the quinoa-beef meatballs with tomato sauce with zucchini, carrots and mushrooms she makes from scratch.
Sneaking vegetables into sauces is one way that Kincaid Habiger gets students to eat a nutritious, well-rounded meal. But she's also very open with them about the ingredients she cooks with. When she first served the meatballs, for example, Kincaid Habiger put a bowl of plain cooked quinoa out for the students to sample. The curly grain was a hit.
Kincaid Habiger has also been known to crack fresh farm eggs into a bowl so students can see the rich gold color of their yolks, and to make colorful salads out of tomatoes grown in the school's garden.
Kids eat with their eyes, she says: "If they don't like the way it looks, they're not going to give it a try."
When it comes to packing meals for her 5- and 7-year-old boys, Kincaid Habiger keeps it simple. She concentrates on whole, natural foods and always incorporates a protein, fruit, vegetable. But she isn't afraid to throw in something fun, like a pack of fruit snacks.
Patterson, the organic food stickler, also adds a fun, surprising touch to her daughter's box lunches. Sometimes it's elaborate �€'-- like a cup of egg salad with black olive slices arranged in the shape of a bear's face. Other times, it's simple, like a mini Kit Kat bar, a wheel of Emmy's favorite Babybel cheese or a fork shaped like a rabbit.
When you have fun with food, preparing it never feels like a chore, Patterson says: "I call it my meditation."
