Letters to the editor: Guns, not unions, threaten safety
In the ninth paragraph of the Guest Voice column by Bill Cole, I was puzzled by a comment by Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., in support of the agenda for the Commonwealth Foundation ("Toomey should help change Pa.'s gun-show law," Erie Times-News, June 22).
The foundation's stated charge for its Project Goliath campaign was to stop the "union Goliath" that supports working families across our state. I can't speak for everyone, but I feel I am in no personal danger from any unions, and I am fairly certain they are not trying to kill me. On the other hand, I do feel endangered because someone who has a violent criminal record or a history of mental illness can purchase a firearm.
If Toomey really wants to do something to save lives, he will stop the ridiculous attacks on the jobs and institutions that support working families and focus on things that really help people like passing universal background checks.

Not signaling proves costly
Just a friendly reminder to Erie Times-News readers: Pennsylvania State Police, and probably other police agencies, will give you a ticket for not using your turn signals. I know this from experience. So, if you don't want to receive a ticket and then pay out more than $100, use your turn signals.

Value contrast raises questions
I find it interesting that the people who conducted the recent property reassessment concluded that property values have gone up on average 25 percent since the last time, three or five years ago. Yet today, when perusing the Internet, I see that according to bankrate.com, Erie is ranked No. 5 on the list of worst housing markets in the United States, with an average drop in value of 5 percent.
Why is there such a contrast in findings? I realize that these are 2013 figures, but I will bet that this is not something that just started this year.
Maybe they are just preparing for the future when GE Transportation closes up shop in Erie and the Greater Erie Industrial Development Corp. buys the property, and it has to clean it up, like the former GAF Materials Corp. and Lord properties.

GE's unfairness at heart of issue
In response to K.F. Kovacs' "GE workers need to take pay cut" (Erie Times-News, June 26): I'd like to congratulate Kovacs for being one of the fortunate people to have his own family business and for paying a fair wage to his employees. I would, however, like to know how many years ago that was. He is obviously living in the past. In the present world, inflation is a reality and is continuously increasing.
Our government continues to raise our taxes, and businesses continue to raise their prices. Retailers aren't lowering their prices or their profits, and the government isn't lowering our taxes. That's the reality.
Kovacs wants GE employees to take a 30 to 40 percent pay cut while everything else in the real world is increasing in cost. For what reason? So GE's executives can get a pay raise or so corporate GE can fund more political campaigns? Why doesn't he ask all of GE's executives to take a pay cut?
Lorenzo Simonelli, GE Transportation's chief executive, isn't offering to take a pay cut to help make GE more competitive, and neither are any of the other executives.
GE Transportation just achieved a record profit. It and Kovacs want us to give them concessions and lower our standard of living while theirs continues to improve year after record year. In the latest UE/GE contract, we, UE 506, gave huge concessions, such as the pension plan, which future generations will no longer receive.
Our health care took a big hit, which now costs us thousands of dollars more per year. Do you think any of the executives are paying more for their health care or have to worry about how they will live after retirement? Unions are not the problem. They are the solution. Without unions, this country would have only two classes, the rich and the poor. I ask Kovacs, Simonelli and all of your readers: Are you willing to take a 30 to 40 percent pay cut for the work that you do to help a business that continues to show record profits?

Another gas tax opposed
I would like to know where all of the money collected by then Gov. Tom Ridge's 8 cents a gallon tax to fix our bridges went, and is going to this day, as I cannot find where the tax was repealed.
Why do we need new taxes on fuel to do the same thing? Maybe one of the state senators or representatives who feel this tax is needed can answer this question, and maybe the state auditors need to look into the state highway department to see what they have done with the tax collected to date.

Why not work to keep jobs?
Judy Cline hit the nail on the head with her letter "No GE deal prompts anger" (Erie Times-News, July 6).
Both corporate America and the GE union are at fault. Corporate America is greedy -- always has been, and we all know that. Steve Renick's letter "Blue collars get starched" is also right on (Erie Times-News, July 6). I'd love to see GE's chief executive take a 75 percent pay cut, but we all know that won't happen. It's time executives share the burden of wage freezes, pay cuts and more.
I worked for an industrial company for more than 33 years. During that time, nonexecutive employees endured wage freezes, wage cuts and shorter work weeks. We accepted executive management's decision in order to save our jobs. Of course, we had no choice -- it was a nonunion shop. But it seemed better to have a job with benefits and endure temporary wage freezes, etc., than to have no job at all. While nonexecutive employees endured these freezes and cuts, management continued to get their huge paychecks, company cars, big bonuses and more -- typical corporate greed.
However, in today's environment of high unemployment, I have to wonder what in the world the GE union was thinking. My husband has been out of work for several years now, and he has a college degree. I am acquainted with someone else who has multiple college degrees but cannot find employment. These are just a couple of examples. If I worked at GE, I would have voted "yes" to accept the wage freeze and hold onto as many jobs as possible.
I believe as Renick states that sooner or later GE will move everything to Texas, but until then I cannot understand why the union would not vote in a way that would save as many jobs as possible.

Nomadus scientificus
Whether it's collecting data in a specific environment, presenting results at a conference, or simply having to change jobs every 6-18 months until you get tenure, a life in science can mean moving around a lot.
A while ago I cam across a listicle on Buzzfeed, "29 Truths About Growing Up In Multiple Cities". Although I only grew up in one city, I have since moved around a fair bit, for university and work. So there are quite a few of these I can relate to...
Before I go through them, I should point out that I am not complaining here. I fully realise how ridiculously privileged I am t have had the experiences I've had. Nor do I want to show off. But one of my objectives for Do You Speak Science? is to share what it's like to live & work in the worlds of science, languages and internationalism. Some of the issues raised in the Buzzfeed post about being a "third culture kid" are part of that.
So here we go...
1. These are the three most difficult questions anyone can possibly ask you.
- a/ Where do you consider home?
This is a tricky one. I have often found myself saying "I'll drive home for the weekend, to spend some time with my family before coming back home again."
I refer you to George Carlin on the matter:"your house is just a place for your stuff with a cover on it".
- b/ Where are you from?
WHAT DO YOU EVEN MEAN? Please define "from".
This one is usually followed up by an attempt at being more precise, which typically just leaves everyone more confused:
"Where were you born?" - well, I was still a baby when we left that country.
"Where did you grow up?" - well, I haven't lived there properly in 6 years and my parents aren't from there...
"Where did you go to school?" - AMERICANS! School for us Europeans stops at age 18 (at most). You don't got to "school" at MIT. That's a univeristy, call it that. But anyway, that would be 3 unis in 2 countries. But again, I felt foreign in all of those.
"Where do you live now?" - OK, maybe now we're getting somewhere. Though for the first year I lived on one side of the border and worked on the other. In an international organization. Where most people who work there don't work for that organisation. Don't get me started.
Let's just say that my birth certificate, driving license and work permit are all from different countries.
Americans are sometimes surprised by this diversity of countries, but the space these places all cover is barely bigger than Texas. So it's just like changing between States a couple of times (unless you're from New England).
- c/ Which is your favourite city?
I can't really compare them. School, uni, work... I know different aspects of each of these cities.
Score: three thirds Running total: 1/1
2. All your stories about your childhood start with "When I lived in…"
This one, not so much. All of my childhood was in one city. Most of my moving was either as a baby or an adult.
Score: nought Running total: 1/2
3. You have irrational attachments to random numbers because your life is cataloged by postcodes.
Sort of. But then again, lots of French people have a weird attachment to their department number (I'm a 67, for instance).
Score: 67. OK, 1/1 Running total: 68, or 2/3
4. When Facebook asked you to list a "hometown," you had a panic attack.
Nah, mine is just where I grew up. Easy enough because i just have the one.
Score: nul points Running total: 68, or 2/4
5. You don't get it when people speak fondly of their childhood bedrooms, because you had too many.
Just 2. So no.
Score: 2. But really zero. Running total: 70, or 2/5
6. You have several close friends, because every new city requires a new crew.
Definitely this. If I ever have a massive party for a wedding or something, it'll be tricky to find somehwere that everyone can get to. The barycentre is probably near enough to Paris though. That being said, I'm not sure I'd call them a "crew". Maybe I'm just not cool enough.
Score: a bajillion, because my friends are worth more than 1 point. But for the purposes of counting, 1. See what you make me do, Buzzfeed?!
Running total: 1070, or 3/6
7. The downside is that a significant number of people you care about are always too far away.
Yep. Though in some cases, "too far" just isn't a thing. You know who you are.
Score: another gazillion. Running total: 2070, or 4/7
8. Your speech incorporates slang from all over the place.
It's gert lush. This is especially true of my French and German, which are heavily influenced by my English, Alsatian, German and Swiss experiences.
Score: zwo, but really einzi. Running total: 2071, or 5/8
9. And your accent fluctuates daily.
Again, in French and German more than English, though even that can get a bit of a Brizzle twang on occasion. It depends on which language I've been speaking a lot of recently, and the accents of who I have been speaking with.
Score: won. Running total: 2072, or 6/9
10. So every new acquaintance's favorite game is trying to guess where you're from.
Again-again, it depends on the language. My British accent is pretty obvious, as is my tendency to exaggerate every single thing I say. Guesses about my French have included Australia, Ireland, and Canada (but not Quebec). In German, some Swiss people think I'm Dutch, while I've known Germans to say I sound Swiss.
See also 1.b/ about where I'm actually "from".
This stuff definitely never gets tedious. Ever.
Score: Yet. Another. One. Running total: 2073, or 7/10
11. You constantly crave foods that aren't available in your current city.
Marmite. Black pudding. Pies. Choucroute. Spatezle. Currywurst. Fondue. Raclette. Tartiflette. Sometimes, several of those combined. Great, now I'm hungry.
Score: NOM. Running total: 2074, or 8/11
12. You either have a physical version of this, or you can easily envision one in your head.
I didn't want to replicate Buzzfeed's possibly slightly somewhat questionable sourcing of pictures by re-nicking all of the pictures in the original post, but I can't really avoid it here. Apparently the source is "american.edu", which of course tells us nothing.
And yes, totally. In my case, the pins are mostly in Europe, but there are a few more exotic strings in there as well. I don't have a physical map (part of the "problem" of moving so often is that wall decorations tend to be very temporary), but instead I get people to send me postcards (by sending them postcards).
Score: another bajillion. Running total: 3074, or 9/12
13. You get incredibly excited when you meet someone else who has moved around a lot.
14. Especially if they've been to one of the smaller, more obscure places you've lived.
There isn't a secret handshake, but there's certainly a knowing look amongst the well-traveled that says "been there, done that".
Score: wink, wink. Running total: 3076, or 11/14
15. Packing quickly and efficiently is your superpower
I can see where this could come from, but in my case this is a big "Haha, nope." I always have to start from scratch to make sure I have everything, and I need a different set stuff for each trip.
Score: fail. Running total: 3076, or 11/15
16. You've taken whole vacations funded entirely by frequent-flier miles.
Also nope. Too many different airlines, too many different programmes. Also Europe isn't really that big, and I used to get the train a lot.
Score: TGV. Running total: 3076, or 11/16
17. You have equally strong allegiances to multiple sports teams, which can be extremely confusing.
Watching Strasbourg v Annecy at floorball was conflicting. France v England at football depends on where I happen to be at the time (usually I support "the other one"). And England v Wales at rugby leads to the closest thing we get to proper arguments in our house at "home".
I even found myself cheering for Germany once. That was weird.
Score: Two world wars and one worldcup, do-dah, do-dah. Running total: 3077, or 12/17
18. You were the last of your friends to get a driver's license, because you were never any one place long enough to do it.
Nope, I got that out of the way before leaving. Which was handy.
Score: le va-va-voum. Running total: 3078, or 13/18
19. You're a weary veteran of the long-distance relationship.
*Le sigh*.
Score: It's uncountable how much I hate this quiz right now. Running total: 3079, or 14/19
20. You have yearbooks from six different schools.
I'm from Europe. What is this "yearbook" of which you speak?
Score: Not six, that's for sure. Running total: 3079, or 14/20
21. You have unreasonably strong opinions about different airlines.
When trying to get to London, why pay extra for baggage on EasyJet to an airport that's sort of near Cambridge, when, for the same overall price and less hassle, Swiss will take you to a DLR stop and give you chocolate for the trouble?
Score: That'll be ten quid. Running total: 3080, or 15/21
22. And you have a mental ranking of the best and worst airports.
"Never change flights at CDG" is like "never change tubes at Bank".
Also, most "London" airports aren't in London.
You'll never wait more than 10 minutes to get through security at Geneva.
"Karlsruhe Baden Baden" is very good for Strasbourg, but Ryanair probably couldn't get away with naming an airport after a destination in a different country.
Score: all the scores went on ranking airports Running total: 3081, or 16/22
23. You get restless if you're ever in the same city for too long.
You don't need a monthly pass on the local bus if you're never there to use it.
Score: one if you're around long enough to catch it. Running total: 3082, or 17/23
24. You're pretty much immune to culture shock
If anything, lack of cultural diversity in Bath was my version of Kulturschock.
Score: un point. eh, tiens, il parleun autre langue! Running total: 3083, or 18/24
25. And, at this point, you're pretty great at making new friends.
Score: there aren't enough points in the world Running total: just stop counting, or 19/25
26. This is your official theme song.
Can't say I'd heard it before, but yeah, I can see why. I'd generally think of something like this:
But probably only until I make it to New York.
Score: 1 Running total: just stop counting, or 20/26
27. People have tried to give you several labels, but nothing quiiite captures your experience. Transplant? Third Culture Kid? VAGABOND?
European TCK pretty much works for me.
Score: half a point. Running total: 20.5/27
28. But, although it was tough at times, you're glad to have so many different experiences under your belt.
This is defintiley a case of #firstworldproblems, which aren't real problems. So yes, I'm pretty stoked about and very thankful for the things I've seen/done/eaten/drank/ridden, people I've met/etc, and places I've been, despite the relatively minor stress that sometimes comes with them.
Score: this goes beyond scores. Running total: 21.5/28
29. Because, at the end of the day, you'll always have the best stories to tell.
Here I would disagree. I've met people who were born & bred in a single, small town, having never verntured much further than their nearest big city for the occasional shopping trip. They seemed just as fulfilled and happy as me, if not more so in some respects. They had never had to say "have a nice life" to anyone significant, for instance. Sure, the travel tales are fun, but I'm also conscious of missing out on other things back at "home". It's a compromise, like many things. You gain in shenanigans what you lose in stability.
Score: like I said, we're beyond point-scoring here.
Over to you:
- Which of these points do you relate to?
- Are you a TCK?
- Did you move around a lot as a child? How did that affect you?
- Do you move around a lot for your science?

A Camden County man was convicted today on six counts of murder and several other charges stemming from one of the deadliest killing sprees in New Jersey history.
Prosecutors said Llewelyn James, a Winslow resident who was 16 at the time of the slayings, confessed to police and others that he killed the victims - who included his aunt and her boyfriend - over a two-day period in February 2002.
James, now 22, has maintained his innocence, and his lawyer, Jaime Kaigh, told jurors James made a false confession because he was afraid of his cousin, who Kaigh suggested was responsible for the first set of slayings. Kaigh also suggested a friend of James was responsible for the other killings.
Authorities said James shot and killed his aunt, her boyfriend and two others on Feb. 4, 2002, in a home down the road from his in a rural section of Winslow Township, about 20 miles southeast of Philadelphia. The next day, they said, he killed two more people and wounded a man during a shooting in nearby Lindenwold, which prosecutors said resulted from a drug deal gone wrong.
James was arrested on Feb. 22, 2002.
During the trial, which began Oct. 10, the jury heard James' taped confession that led investigators to the murder weapon, a chrome-plated semiautomatic handgun hidden in an abandoned house in Philadelphia. James said in the recorded statement that he intended to rob his aunt's boyfriend.
After deliberating for nearly two days, the jury convicted James on six counts of murder, four counts of felony murder, one count of attempted murder and several weapons charges. He was acquitted on two counts of felony murder after jurors determined that he was not in the process of robbing two of the victims when he killed them.

Beyond Truth & Punishment in Transitional Justice
Matiangai V. S. Sirleaf
University of Pittsburgh - School of Law
September 6, 2013
Virginia Journal of International Law, 2014
U of Penn Law School, Public Law Research Paper No. 13-21
Many societies have reckoned with how to deal with issues of truth and punishment following a period of massive human rights violations. Yet, almost 70 years since the Nuremberg trials and 20 years since the truth commission in South Africa, there is little clarity on how each mechanism contributes towards its objectives and in which transitional contexts. This paper evaluates the search for justice in the aftermath of atrocities in Ghana, Sierra Leone and Liberia by examining each country's approach to truth-telling and punishment. Scholars and practitioners often claim that truth commissions and courts contribute to a host of justice-promoting goals despite their varying levels of success in post-conflict and post-authoritarian societies. This paper uses data gathered from field research to assess the contribution of these mechanisms to their stated objectives from the perspectives of victims and the affected societies. It demonstrates that truth commissions have less perceived success meeting their stated objectives in post-conflict versus post authoritarian societies due to the relative size of victim and perpetrator classes and the weakness of state institutions. It finds that truth commissions can have more perceived success in post-conflict contexts when combined with a court because of mutually-reinforcing effects. This paper argues that it is critical to limit the number of goals that truth commissions and trials can reasonably be expected to contribute to as opposed to burdening them with multiple objectives, which create unattainable expectations. It questions the reflexive use of truth commissions and trials in post-conflict and post-authoritarian societies and concludes that neither "truth" nor "punishment" is sufficient.

MyHeritage: From town history to family history
"Genealogy is not only the search for one's ancestors, but the sharing of information with others," according to MyHeritage member Gary L. Roberts of Plano, Texas.
Born in Pennsylvania, Gary, 62, attended computer school and served in the US Army as a Morse Code Intercept Operator. Before his 2012 retirement, he spent 30 years working for Verizon Communications as a technical trainer.
Although an only child, he had many cousins on both sides of his family. He's always been interested in his family history, but travel and work prevented him from working on it. Today, however, he has created a family website, and his travels have taken him around the world to China, Wales, Egypt, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Zaire, Singapore, Switzerland, all over Europe and to the Philippines.
His interest in family history began following the Catawissa (Pennsylvania) Bicentennial in 1974.
My second cousin wrote much of the book on the history of Catawissa. My Roberts family had a large number of family members (aunts, uncles, cousins) in the area and some history related to them. It was wonderful to read about the area and its history.

MyHeritage: From notebooks to an online tree
Thirty years ago, MyHeritage member Marcia K. Hanson, now 64, began gathering family information:
I talked to all the old family I could find (I began this when I was in my late 30s) and wrote down their stories. The stories were priceless, many were funny. It gave me an appreciation of who they were and the sacrifices they made to give their family a better life.
Marcia describes herself as a retired introvert who likes history, loves puzzles and is good with details. She enjoys having family stay in touch and loves to share family stories gathered during her research. Also an active volunteer, an avid reader and an average golfer, Marcia is certainly a busy woman.

Australia: Family mysteries revealed
There are many reasons why people become interested in their family history. It may be because of an inherited condition or the discovery of a previously unknown relative.
MyHeritage member Thelma (known as Thel) Brooks' story includes both!
Born in Sydney, Australia, Thel's interests were dancing, swimming and tennis. These days, it's family history.
Now in her 70s and retired, she was a hospital office manager for most of her working life.
Married at 22, she and her husband, William John Brooks, were together for nearly 50 years. She has a daughter and a son, and four grandchildren. For 27 years, Thel was her husband John's caregiver until his death in 2010.
Today, her life is devoted to her little dog, family and friends and she lives in Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
Thel first became interested in family history when her husband was diagnosed with an inherited incurable disease and she wanted to find out more where it came from. She then discovered, at 56, a previously unknown half-sister in Scotland: Continue reading "Australia: Family mysteries revealed" »
MyHeritage: A 'titanic' family discovery
Our post on the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking produced a breakthrough for a South African member of MyHeritage.
Christopher Brian Jennings (known as Brian), 44, of Johannesburg, South Africa became interested in family history as his elders aged. He realized that their wealth of information would disappear if he did not document the family.
Brian lives with his wife Adri, 44, and children Natasha, 19, and Michael, 15. He is an insurance industry director.

MyHeritage: A young genealogist's quest
Family history attracts people of all ages.
Recently, MyHeritage was happy to hear from member Jeff Zeitlin of Connecticut, who sent an email on behalf of his son Jared, 11. He explained that Jared was very interested in genealogy and asked if it was possible to get a MyHeritage souvenir.
Our marketing department wrote to Jeff and discovered that Jared had made remarkable family history discoveries.
We asked the family's permission to share their story and they were happy to do so. Of course, we sent Jared a MyHeritage fleece (see photo left).
Here's Jared's story:
A fifth-grade student, Jared's parents are Alyson and Jeffrey Zeitlin and he has an older sister, Mikayla. He also enjoys spending time with his grandparents in Connecticut and Florida.
Growing up in a Jewish family, Jared found great interest in religion and genealogy. These interests spurred his focus in researching his family history, which resulted in building the family tree on MyHeritage.com.
One day a few summers ago, Jared's father's first cousins visited them in Connecticut – the first time Jared had met them.
During the day we discussed how we were related. Cousin Arthur mentioned that another distant cousin had created a family tree on another website. That got me interested in looking at my family.
Jared checked that website, read about his family and added family members – some 450 people. Then he stopped for a while. Continue reading "MyHeritage: A young genealogist's quest" »
Earth Hour: For future generations
A major international event, Earth Hour is taking place today. It's organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and is held annually on the last Saturday in March.
During Earth Hour 2011, more than 5,200 towns and cities in 135 countries worldwide switched off their lights, sending a powerful message for action on climate change.
As family history lovers, we also believe that this is an important subject. As we think about our ancestors and try to understand their lives, we know that one day in the future we will become our family's ancestors.
We should be asking ourselves about future generations. What kind of planet will they live on? The planet we leave for them tomorrow should concern us today. Continue reading "Earth Hour: For future generations" »
Poll: Multilingual family tree?
People have been migrating around the world much more frequently over the past century or so, as international travel has became much easier (from steamships to rail to jets). All this movement impacts many of us as we now have branches located around the globe. It also means that in many family trees, various languages are represented in those branches.
In line with this, we'd love to hear from you as to how many different languages are spoken in your family tree. We look forward to your answers on our survey below:

Leap Day: Birthdays and the family tree
Millions of people around the world will celebrate their unique birthday today – February 29 - or Leap day.
Why do we have leap years? We've been taught that each year is 365 days because that's the length of time it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun.
In truth, it takes a little longer (365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds, according to most calculations) and that's why leap years were instituted every four years to make up the difference.
There are, however, some exceptions to the four-year rule. We do not count a leap year if the year in question ends in a double zero (1900, 2100) unless the year can be divided by 400 (such as 2000), and then it is a leap year.

Video: Family Tree Making with the Kids.
Ask any genealogist about the demographics of the pursuit and they'll tell you one thing: there aren't enough young people getting involved.
The answer to this is to instil the "genealogy bug" at a very young age. It needn't be anything extravagant- just something to make your children think past the two immediate generations of your family.
Today's video is an example of how you can encourage interest in genealogy by building a visual family tree. It's great for Kinesthetic learners, which should apply to the majority of children below five.

Jill over at Breaking the Spine created the Waiting on Wednesday meme for us bloggers to showcase books we're waiting on.
This week I have selected Illuminated by Erica Orloff. Ok, to start off can we say...serious cover LUST!! This cover is so beautiful, romantic and mysterious and after I read the pitch I was left wanting.
Some loves are not made to last . . . Like Romeo and Juliet, Heloise and Abelard were doomed from the start, and their romance was destined to pass into history. Yet when sixteen-year-old Callie Martin discovers a diary hidden within an antique book, their story—and hers—takes on another life. For the diary leads Callie to the brilliant and handsome August, who is just as mysterious as the secret the diary hides. Their attraction is undeniable. As the two hunt down the truth behind the diary—and that of Heloise and Abelard's ancient romance—their romance becomes all-consuming. But Callie knows it can't last . . . love never does. Will their love that burns as bright as a shooting star flame out, or will these star-crossed lovers be able to defy history?

About Kistler Vineyards
Steve Kistler's rich, Burgundy-style Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, from a series of ideally situated vineyards all around Sonoma County, have long been favorites among collectors and restaurant clients. The best bottlings have proven to be excellent mid-term agers and are among the richest and most complex Chardonnays made anywhere—the key is low-tech, hands-off winemaking that makes the most of the particular vineyard site plus what each vintage has to offer.

PRESS RELEASE: Ahead of VP Biden's Trip to Guatemala, Experts Discuss Child Refugee Issue, Recommendations on International and U.S. Response

Washington, DC – The increased numbers of children fleeing violence in Central America and seeking refuge in nearby countries, including the United States, has become a humanitarian issue that requires an international, holistic, and caring response.
On a press call today, human rights, immigration policy, and legal experts gathered to explain the factors that are driving children to leave their home countries, and what steps the international community can take to resolve the situation comprehensively.
According to Michelle Brané, Director of Migrant Rights and Justice, Women's Refugee Commission, "This is not just a U.S. Humanitarian situation. It is a regional humanitarian crisis. Children are seeking protection wherever they can find it. In the effort to bring order to his crisis, it is important that we don't send children seeking safety back into dangerous situations. We must address the root causes."
"The push factors of high unemployment and family reunification alone are not enough to send these kids from their homes in Honduras to the United States. It is the unceasing violence and the perception that Hondurans are not safe that makes families desperate enough to send their children on the perilous journey north," said Juan Sheenan, country representative for Catholic Relief Services in Honduras.
Tomorrow, Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Guatemala and meet with this country's president, as well as senior officials from Honduras and El Salvador, to discuss this situation and appropriate actions to be taken on all sides. On today's call, speakers also assessed the United States' response to date and laid out recommendations for how the Obama Administration should handle this situation so that children are cared for, have access to international protection, and have safe and secure options back in their home countries.
Said Wendy Young, President, Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), "The United States is experiencing a refugee crisis – children as young as toddlers are fleeing for their lives and seeking safety within our borders. As a global leader in the protection of the most vulnerable, we must ensure not only that these at-risk children have meaningful access to safety in the United States but that we use our influence in the region to support programs that address the root causes of this mass migration—not just through combatting the criminal networks of gangs and narco-traffickers but also by supporting education and other human development programs that will give kids a meaningful opportunity to remain home safely."
Concluded Kevin Appleby, Director of Migration Policy, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, "The Vice President's trip demonstrates that this is as much a foreign policy challenge as an immigration one. Until the Central American governments, with the help of the United States, are able to address the root cause of violence and insecurity, we will continue to see children fleeing for their lives."

The influence of copper on the formation of hemoglobin is a problem which has not been completely solved, and the literature abounds in conflicting reports on the subject. Elvehjem1 has recently summarized the work on the biologic significance of copper, and the reader is referred to this paper for a comprehensive review and bibliography. It has been found that in the experimental nutritional anemia of animals neither iron nor copper alone is effective in producing regeneration of hemoglobin, but when iron is given in combination with a small amount of copper a rapid increase in the hemoglobin content of the blood ensues. The work of Whipple2 on experimental hemorrhagic anemia in dogs has not entirely confirmed these results. He found that in certain instances a combination of iron and copper was more beneficial than iron alone but that this was not consistently true. It is possible that a

Calligraphy Scriptorium: a hands-on exploration of letters & letterforms
"Welcome to the Scriptorium."
With these words, Professor Lloyd J. Reynolds opened each episode of his 1976 Oregon Public Broadcasting television program Italic Calligraphy and Handwriting with Lloyd Reynolds. (See this program and other calligraphy videos on our YouTube channel.)
As an outgrowth of the Reed's centennial exhibition Lloyd Reynolds: A Life of Forms in Art at the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, gallery director and curator Stephanie Snyder '91 founded the "Calligraphy Initiative in Honor of Lloyd J. Reynolds." Support for the program has come from former students of both Reynolds and Robert J. Palladino, including Palladino, Inga Dubay, Georgianna Greenwood '60, Sumner Stone '67, Paul Shaw '76, John Sheehy '82, and Gay Walker '69. Gregory MacNaughton '89, education outreach coordinator for the gallery, currently directs the program.
The Reed Calligraphy Initiative seeks to introduce a new generation of Reed students and community members to the holistic study and practice of calligraphy, as well as to the heritage and legacy of calligraphy at the college. The initiative organizes a weekly scriptorium, which is open to all Reed students, staff, faculty, and alumni—without cost. Rigorous instruction is facilitated by MacNaughton, in collaboration with outstanding guest instructors, such as Dubay, Greenwood, and Palladino. In addition, MacNaughton is integrating calligraphy instruction into the Cooley's K-12 education outreach program, the Open Gallery Program, and collaborating with Dubay to provide calligraphy instruction to Portland public school teachers and students.
This compelling program is going strong in its second year, and it's time to share it with the broader Reed community! Please join Gregory MacNaughton as we take scriptorium on the road to alumni chapters across the country, presenting a memorable program that celebrates the beauty of hand lettering and its resonance at Reed.
Program includes:
- Reception (open to all)
- Talk/Demonstration (open to all)
- Guided Practice (limited space)
- Walk and talk about letters (weather & time permitting)
Special guest instructors will join us in select cities:

After every race weekend, Bridgestone issues a press release containing a summary of how they think their weekend went. Normally, they are fairly bland affairs, only of interest to those interested in the minutiae of tire performance and setup. How different is the press release issued after the Australian Grand Prix.
After the debacle of tires not being able to complete an entire race, and compulsory pit stops introduced, Bridgestone's press release was highly anticipated.
The press release itself is rather disappointing. While the technical details are fascinating on why the tires failed to hold up at Phillip Island, the question of why Bridgestone failed to test at the circuit is merely skimmed over in passing references. The full press release appears after the jump.

TeleNav Building GPS-Based Blogging System
Telenav, the Sunnyvale based maker of GPS Navigator might probably be looking at location-based blogging as the next logical step in their product diversification. In a patent filed earlier this month, the inventors from the company have described a technology that will help users create and read location-based blog entries.
What exactly is location-based blogging? Telenav inventors explain that in the current scenario, users can geotag any of the multimedia that they wish to share. While this is interesting to the readers, it is not particularly useful if a reader is looking at particular location based information. For instance, a user might want to take a look at all pictures taken from the top of the Empire State Building. Telenav sees location-based blogging as being able to categorize geotagged multimedia and offer valuable content to the readers. The inventors write
"a need remains for a mobile location based blogging system to efficiently create, populate and manage location-based blogs and to make the process of creating new User Generated Content for those location-blogs. In view of the ever-increasing added features desired by consumers in their mobile client devices, it is more and more critical that answers be found to these problems."
The inventors explain the process with the help of an illustration
"FIG. 6A displays a street map on the multimedia display interface 210 of the client 102 of the general purpose mobile location-blogging system 100. In another example, FIG. 6B illustrates a set of general purpose location-blogs in a list format on the multimedia display interface 210 of the client 102."
"n FIG. 6C and 6D, therein are illustrated the multimedia display interface 210 of a location-blog entry. For example, in an operation with update location-blog command, the client 102 can accept a location-blog command user input and a multimedia user input that can include a video recording, audio recording, image, text, multimedia data, or any combination thereof. The location-blog command and the multimedia data are sent to the server 104 of FIG. 2 in the server request 202 of FIG. 2. The server 104 can create a new location-blog entry that is associated with the new multimedia data. "
GPS-based blogging appears to be an interesting invention which can be quite popular. What is your view on this? Let us know in the comments.

Telecom Corridor
The Telecom Corridor is a technology business center in Richardson, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas, which contains over 25 million square feet (2.3 million square meters) of office space and accounts for over 130,000 jobs.[1] Located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and home to the University of Texas at Dallas, the Corridor is a strip about 6.5 miles (10.5 km) long along U.S. Route 75 (US 75) (the North Central Expressway), between President George Bush Turnpike and Interstate 635 (I-635) and is often considered an area of the Silicon Prairie. More than 5,700 companies, including 600 technology companies are headquartered in the area, including significant players such as AT&T, Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Verizon, Samsung, Texas Instruments, and MetroPCS. Some of these companies also have offices in Telecom Valley located in California. Although the Telecom Corridor was a booming area of Dallas's economy during the late 1990s, the dot-com bust of 2001 hit the region hard. However, it began recovering in 2004, and that recovery has since picked up momentum, gaining both the operations of many non-technology-related companies and a large number of previously non-existent residential units designed in the New Urbanist style.[2] The name "Telecom Corridor" is a registered trademark and may technically only be used to describe the area mentioned in this article.

The Telecom Corridor Genealogy Project is a project to enable professionals in the Telcom Corridor to find out about their common history and thereby to enable them to network more easily.

Conor Oberst moving away from folk sound with new Bright Eyes set
Conor Oberst never thought his bands' previous records sounded like country, but even if they did, that's not what the new Bright Eyes album is going to be all about.
"We're over the Americana, rootsy, whatever that sound is. People say country, but I never thought were very country at all," Oberst told Billboard this week, speaking on Bright Eyes' forthcoming "The People's Key." "But whatever that element is or that aesthetic is, I guess it's worn a little thin for me these days. So we very much wanted it to be rocking and, for lack of a better term, contemporary, or modern."
As previously reported, "Key" is out on Feb. 15 and is the follow-up to Bright Eyes' 2007 "Cassadega." Which was totally Americana, rootsy, country.

Can you teach blogging?

So I'm in New York at the moment, as I may have mentioned – but don't envy my globe-trotting lifestyle a bit, because I'm here primarily to meet my new nephew and then, I've discovered, to cook, clean and go to the local supermarket, where English muffins are on a three for two and there's no such thing as unsweetened peanut butter – but they do have "fancy Granny Smith apples". That's a direct quote.
I was recently reading Topshop's blog, which is one of my must-reads although I rarely come away from it going "wow, I never knew that", like I might when I read, well, the Guardian, I guess. Fashion blogs, it has just occurred to me, aren't the most thought-expanding. On that note, go away from here. Read something good like Charlie Brooker or Kathy Sheridan and forget about fashion altogether.
Anyway, I digress. It's late in New York and the baby has just finished a two-hour screamathon and I'm trying to get some work in before, you know, going to bed and starting this groundhog day all over again. So Topshop's blog featured this:
I thought it was quite a neat idea – come to Topshop and learn about blogging, and in return we'll get great PR, be seen to be very progressive and you'll probably write about us in glowing terms. Then again, there are very few fashion blogs that write about Topshop in anything less than glowing terms – or, let's face it, about anything in less than glowing terms.
Fashion blogs – says cynical, awake-late-at-night me – are often far too sycophantic, for a variety of reasons. In Irish fashion blogging circles, you firstly don't want to be seen to critique Irish talent. Then you're a begrudger, so you must speak about it in glowing terms, even if it induces coma-like sleep patterns. Secondly, you don't want to be seen to critique high fashion, such as, say, Marc Jacobs's latest collection, because you could be accused of just not having a clue. The current exception to this rule is, of course, anything touched by Galliano's needle, as his chalice is very much poisoned and what could be more chic than to ridicule the recently fallen idols?
Then you don't want to criticise high-street brands too much, lest they take umbrage and stop sending you press releases / free bags / invites to fancy events overseas. You also wouldn't want to critique the brand you work for – in many cases, fashion bloggers work in fashion stores, which totally makes sense, but it doesn't make for very unbiased reportage. Furthermore, you wouldn't want to critique anything with (a) any charitable ties, (b) deep roots in Ireland's midlands or (c) the word "startup" in its description. It's a minefield!
On that note, I am considering doing a series of posts with "dislike" in the title – carefully thought out critiques of current trends / labels / designers / magazines. Please stop me now if you foresee any begrudgery, and then, eh, go read Charlie Brooker again. (Frankly, I'm surprised you got this far.)
Adios, amigos. Oh, and, the final list of nominees are out for Ireland's Most Influential in Fashion, an awards 'do that I shan't be attending due to my current geography. I'm not on the list, but don't worry, I ain't mad atcha. xoxo

Sporting News will take a glance at all teams in its preseason top 5o.
Today: No. 50 Air Force
Last year: 9-4, 5-3 Mountain West
2011 projected record: 8-4 overall, 4-3 MWC
Why we know we're right: Because there's never been a better time at the Academy. Air Force won nine games last fall, won the Commander-in-Chief's trophy for the first time in nearly a decade and beat a BCS heavyweight (Georgia Tech) in a bowl game. The Mountain West lost a couple of significant teams (Utah, BYU) and TCU is reloading. One more thing: QB Tim Jefferson returns for his final season, and is primed to break many of legendary QB Dee Dowis' school records.
Why we might be wrong: The defense still must improve in all facets. While the 14-7 win over Georgia Tech was impressive and set the tone for 2011, it was also against a team that struggled for much of 2010 -- and a team that runs a near identical offense (triple option) as Air Force. In other words, there were few surprises for the Falcons, who gave up a combined 43 points to two truly pathetic offenses (UNLV, New Mexico) in the final two weeks of the season. This team desperately misses defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter, who left after the 2009 season and turned around the Texas A&M defense.
Our confidence level in this pick: Strong. The Falcons rarely underachieve, and this team returns enough starters (14) and enough experience at critical positions to compete for the MWC title. It shouldn't take long to find out: the Falcons play host to TCU in Week 2.
Judgment day: Sept 10 vs. TCU. The Falcons have lost five of six to TCU since the Horned Frogs joined the MWC, and have played the Horned Frogs well in each of the last two games in Colorado Springs (20-17 loss in 2009; 20-17 victory in 2007). Win here, and the conference race could come down to the Oct. 22 game at Boise State.
Coach's job security: Rock solid. If Troy Calhoun didn't leave for the Colorado job after last year, the only thing that takes him from Colorado Springs is an NFL job. It certainly could happen – he's that good, and that well respected in the NFL.
Grading the positions: QB: A; RB: B; WR/TE: B; OL: B+; DL: C; LB: C+; DB: C; ST: A-

Move Over Spiderman! This Dachshund Scales Walls (Video)Danielle Sullivan
On warm summer nights just after the sun goes down, I sometimes notice a vision of a medium-sized shadow across my back fence. When I first moved here, I had no idea what it was. "Raccoons", a neighbor said, "they come out every night and creep around." As a lifelong city gal, having the four-legged creatures share my yard seemed slightly strange. During my daughter's pool party a few years back, an entire family of the furry creatures decided to walk by s-l-o-w-l-y watching the kids in the pool. The shrieks and scream didn't deter this family of six from their summertime stroll either.
Four years later, when I see a sizable shadow slinking along, I know what it is.
Or do I?
After watching the video below, I realize, it just might be a dachshund! It's true … the adorable dachshund in this video scales walls. Perhaps he got bored of his own yard. Maybe he noticed a lady dachshund living next store. Maybe he's just the adventurous type. While we don't quite know exactly why this fella decided to climb the wall and a make run for it, I think we can agree, it is a sight to see.
Watch it here:

Police make 62 DUI arrests in York County
Crackdown named Operation Pressure Point
UPDATED 12:05 PM EDT Mar 19, 2013
State police and several police departments in York County took part in a crackdown over the weekend on driving under the influence offenses and other illegal activities.
During a news conference Tuesday morning, police said they issued 697 citations, including 62 arrests for driving under the influence during the Saint Patrick's Day weekend.
The crackdown was named Operation Pressure Point since one must apply pressure to a wound to stop the bleeding, police said.
Police said they confiscated drugs, handguns and vehicles. They also cited several bars for violations.

• Memory for past events was assessed in 43 patients who had been prescribed bilateral electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for relief of depressive illness. Four memory tests of personal or public events were administered before ECT, shortly after the fifth treatment, one week after completion of treatment, and about seven months later. The results indicated that ECT can initially disrupt recall of events that occurred many years previously, but recovery of these memories was virtually complete by seven months after treatment. It was also clear that persisting memory loss for information acquired only a few days before treatment can occur. For information acquired one to two years prior to treatment, recovery was substantial, but the results suggested that some memory problems might persist for events that occurred during this time period.

Brand Fan Marketing Strategy
How to identify, nurture, reward, monitor and amplify the comments made by your Brand Fans. 14 specific recommendations for creating your Brand Fan Marketing Strategy.
Brand Fans are like a free sales force. No, they're better than a sales force because their recommendations are seen to be unbiased and untainted. They're authentic. They're believable. They should be treated like influential bloggers and reporters.
Customer Brand Fans like sharing information for sharing's sake, but that's not their only motivation. Figuring out what to offer them can be tricky. Some might respond to discounts, others might find that a bribe. Other Brand Fans will appreciate public recognition and others who get that may feel used. No one wants to feel forced to cheerlead.
Here's an example of what a brand fan posted on Facebook.
Brand Fans do this for services, products and people they love. It's beyond brand loyalty. It's brand advocacy.
Brand Fans may voice criticism or concern, as well. When they do, that should raise a huge red flag to be investigated.
The result of creating and nurturing Brand Fans? More proponents out there sharing meaningful, authentic soundbites about "why buy" the Brand and more credible defenders when others share questions or criticism of the brand.
How to Create Your Brand Fan Marketing Strategy
- Brand Fans explains how to identify your Brand Fans
- Customer Segmentation - learn more about customer segmentation and how to use it to sell more and spend your marketing budget more wisely
2. Thank your Brand Fans in a timely and personal way
Call them or send them a handwritten note. Send them flowers. Invite them to lunch. Do something so they are recognized and rewarded for their behavior! Contact them within a few days, not several weeks later.
People do more of what they get recognized and rewarded for.
If you want a Brand Fan to make more positive posts on social media, thank them for the ones they've already made.
Don't offer to pay them for these as that cheapens their recommendation and they're not doing it to get a financial reward. Instead, treat them like a VIP. Give them special treatment, perks and acknowledgement that you appreciate their business and their referrals.
3. Make it easy for people to share
Add buttons on your website and blog like these and ask people to share. Hey, if you're reading this article on MarketingZone and like it, please tell others...
4. Social media monitoring
Social media monitoring will help you learn what's shared online in public forums, on blogs, on Twitter and on websites about you, your company, and your competitors. Social media monitoring is also useful for identifying trends and learning who the people are who are your "brand fans." In the "old days" there were clipping services. Now there are amazing tools that gather and capture the relevant information you want about what's being said about your company, your brands, your competitors and even individual people.
- Social Media Monitoring is a how-to guide that explains how this works
Are you identifying, nurturing and empowering Brand Fans who are referring new business to you?
5. Identify and tag people as your Brand Fans in your customer database
Just add a field in your database or excel spreadsheet to note the person is a Brand Fan or take it a step further and identify what type of Brand Fan they are.
Malcolm Gladwell's book The Tipping Point describes three types of people who share positive word-of-mouth. You might use this as a way to classify your Brand Fans if you know them well enough to tell whether they are a:
Connector. Connectors are people who have lots of varied connections to different types of people and act as human bridges to help others make connections and "cross-pollinate" information and ideas. They don't get paid to do this. They just do this for free. It's how they operate.
Mavens are people who like to be seen as experts and help other people make informed decisions. They're the "go to" people and "smart friends" and "experts" who people seek out.
Salesmen, as defined by Gladwell, are not people paid by a company to sell the products/services. These are people who are persuasive in selling, inducing others' to do or buy something. In social media, these "salesmen" (and women) do this for free. They're like a free sales force if you can harness them to recommend and advocate your product, company or services.

Kickoff: Oct. 3, Memorial Stadium; time not yet announced
TV: Not yet announced
Series: Penn State won at home last season, 38-24, and leads the all-time series, 13-3.
Who will win and why: Illinois. This is the one Big Ten team with a veteran QB who can exploit Penn State's secondary. Juice Williams may throw 40-45 passes.
About Illinois: The Illini had a disappointing 2008 season, going 5-7. ... Coach Ron Zook is 18-30 in four seasons but has brought the Illini back to respectability after 2-9 and 2-10 records his first two years. ... Williams threw for 3,173 yards last season. By comparison, the PSU single-season record set by Kerry Collins in 1994 is just 2,679 yards. ... Williams also completed 57.5 percent of his passes, had 22 TDs and 16 INTs, led the team in rushing with 719 yards and ran for five TDs. ... WR Arrelious Benn caught 67 passes for 1,055 yards and three TDs. ... RB Daniel Dufrene had 663 yards rushing and averaged 5.7 yards per carry.
Look out for: This could be a high-scoring shootout.
Penn State's record after this game: 4-1

JEFFERSONVILLE — A week or so ago, Danny Perry of Newport Center felt a sudden calling to take a trip. Not just any trip, but a 75-mile journey from Newport to Burlington in his wheelchair — and sometimes on his hands and knees — to speak out about injustice and inequality.
He didn't plan, he didn't pack. But two days later he crawled the first mile out of Newport Center, then hauled himself up into his hand-propelled chair and began to wheel himself along Route 105.
By Tuesday, he'd traveled Route 100 to Route 100C in Johnson, and then west on Route 15 as far as Cambridge.
On Saturday, August 13 — his thirty-fifth birthday — he will crawl the last mile up Church Street to Burlington City Hall on his hands and knees.…To read the rest of this article, and all the Chronicle's stories, subscribe:

Wire Fraud
A Summerville man reported that he had attempted to buy an SUV through Ebay.com. He said he contacted the listed seller, who sent the complainant instructions on how to buy the vehicle via a wire transfer between the complainant and the sellers bank account.
The complainant said he wired $4,300 to the account and the vehicle was supposed to be delivered 4-6 days after the transfer. However, the complainant says the vehicle has not been delivered nor has he been able to contact the seller. When the complainant contacted Ebay.com customer service, he was informed that the site had no record of the transaction.
Motorcycle theft
A Summerville woman reported that someone has stolen her 2005 Honda motorcycle. She said she last saw it parked in the parking lot of her apartment complex, Waters Edge Apartments, at about 5:30 p.m. June 10. She noticed it missing the next morning.
She said the motorcycle had a cover but was not secured; she still has the key to it. The motorcycle was recently painted gray and is stretched out with chrome wheels.
The responding officer has entered the item into NCIC.
Thirsty thief
An employee of a Kangaroo Station on Trolley Road reported that an unknown black male subject entered the store, took two cases of beer, and left without paying for the beer. The complainant described the subject as about 511 tall and 150 pound and wearing a white tank top. The complainant further stated that the subject fled the property in a black Dodge Magnum with paper plates from East Coast Motor Sports.
Missing money
A Summerville woman reported that someone entered her office on West Doty Avenue and stole $140 from her purse, which was in a desk drawer. The woman said there are no security cameras, nor does she know who might be responsible, however, this is the second time something has been stolen from her at this location in the past two weeks.
Not a campground
An officer responding to a call about a suspicious person near the Celtic Knot on U.S. 78 found the man lying on the ground in the parking lot lying in a puddle of urine, next to his moped, which was still running.
The officer switched off the key and after several attempts was able to awaken the man. After determining that the man was grossly intoxicated, the officer arrested him for public drunkenness.
The man was transported to Summerville Medical Center for evaluation, then later to the Detention Center in St. George.
