It's All In Your Mind…
I need to apologize for not already giving Ludacris his due in this column. Albeit, he did swagger jack Redman's steez (as did Eminem) for the witty, unpredictable, wild shit. He also copped Redman's acting bug as well. But after seven or eight studio albums that he has released I need to give Ludacris his props for doing his thing. Redman's style was too wild to get a Grammy award. Ludacris smoothed that shit out and made it fly for the bitches.
Redman is like a White Owl blunt and a 40oz. of Olde English whereas Ludacris is like a thin-rolled joint with a glass of Alize. For those of you that were wondering, Eminem is a bong and a six pack of Stellas. There is nothing wrong with making rap music for the ho's. Nelly been doing that shit all along and he can't even rap. At least Ludacris puts some spit behind his booty shake anthems. How many times do you find yourself singing 'Area Codes' when you are around a lot of broads? I do that shit all the time.
So the question remains… Why isn't Ludacris considered one of the best to ever do it? Redman either for that matter. Is it that punchline rappers aren't given the same respect due as those rappers who practice braggadocio rap or the urban streets fiction rappers? Yet Eminem always finds himself in the conversation for G.O.A.T. status so style of rap shouldn't be the focus. What is it about Ludacris that people don't accept? I think it's because he is a lousy actor.
Tupac was the greatest acting rapper, Raptor if you will, but he was a suspect rapper who lacked lyrical weight. His acting was so good that people actually believe he was a great rapper. Now here we have Ludacris who is light years ahead of Tupac lyrically but couldn't act his ass out of a paper bag. This is why we don't consider Ludacris' lyrical greatness. If Ludacris were to stop acting for a few years I bet that rap fans would start to crown him one of the best ever to put it down.
Who in the southern rap region has sold more records than Ludacris? Not OutKast, Not Master P, certainly not Scarface. Not even Luke can make that boast. I know that record sales are a weak barometer for the supreme talent of an artist, but they do mean something. It has been the record sales that have convinced Hollywood to give this dude acting gigs with the anticipation that his audience would follow him from CDs to the screens.
I'm not saying that Ludacris is the worst acting rapper of all time. The W.A.R.O.A.T. would definitely have to be Jay-Z. NaS is horrible too. What is interesting to me now that I look at it is the better you are as a rapper the worse you will be as an actor. Now I do not want to see a movie with Joell Ortiz in it.

This is the perfect time of year to make changes in ourselves and the things around us. The beauty industry has made it easier than ever to change your look.
Personalized looks with color are very big right now. A client and salon professional can choose different techniques to make a statement with color.
If you always wanted to add some color to your hair, be sure to take pictures of ideas with you to the stylist. It helps show what you like and what you don't. Here are a few technical terms used by Toni & Guy that may help you get your idea across in the consultation process:
1Root shading: Application of color to the root area only. It looks like regrowth with darker roots -- this used to be unpopular, but it makes color last a long time these days.
2Reversible color: Two looks in one. This look is for those of us who love side parts. If you part your hair on the left, you might have vibrant red or purple highlights on one side for a fun evening look. But you can part your hair on the other side and have a more conventional daytime appearance.
3Smudging: Blending two or more colors without any demarcation. This looks a little like the hombre look so popular in the summer of 2011. It's very natural with hair starting darker at the root and lighter at the ends.
4 Block color: Coloring large geometric shapes of hair in bright colors. Most clients favor triangles and rectangles along with oranges and purples.
5 Filtering: Two or more colors are blended for a softer result. This is the new style of highlights and lowlights. It definitely provides color, but it's not obvious. Light brown might mix with caramel shades. Or lighter red and darker red look really natural.
Experimenting with nontraditional color used to make people nervous, but it shouldn't anymore. You can always change it back if you don't like it.

Canadian Methodist Women, 1766-1925
Marys, Marthas, Mothers in Israel
Studies in Women and Religion Series
Hardcover 328 pp.
Release Date:
Online discount: 25%
$85.00 $63.75
Canadian Methodist women, like women of all religious traditions, have expressed their faith in accordance with their denominational heritage. Canadian Methodist Women, 1766-1925: Marys, Marthas, Mothers in Israel analyzes the spiritual life and the varied activities of women whose faith helped shape the life of the Methodist Church and of Canadian society from the latter half of the eighteenth century until church union in 1925.
Based on extensive readings of periodicals, biographies, autobiographies, and the records of many women's groups across Canada, as well as early histories of Methodism, Marilyn Färdig Whiteley tells the story of ordinary women who provided hospitality for itinerant preachers, taught Sunday school, played the melodeon, selected and supported women missionaries, and taught sewing to immigrant girls, thus expressing their faith according to their opportunities. In performing these tasks they sometimes expanded women's roles well beyond their initial boundaries.
Focusing on religious practices, Canadian Methodist Women, 1766-1925 provides a broad perspective on the Methodist movement that helped shape nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Canadian society. The use and interpretation of many new or little-used sources will interest those wishing to learn more about the history of women in religion and in Canadian society.
Marilyn Färdig Whiteley is an independent scholar who has taught at universities in Canada and the United States and has worked at the Archives of The United Church of Canada. She is co-editor of Changing Roles of Women within the Christian Church in Canada and editor of The Life and Letters of Annie Leake Tuttle: Working for the Best (WLU Press, 1999).
"This book is necessary reading for those interested in Canadian women's history and specifically the history of women in social and religious movements. Marilyn Färdig Whiteley makes it clear that for the nineteenth century the social and religious were inextricably connected. The result of extensive archival research, Canadian Methodist Women provides both a deep understanding of the pervasiveness of the Methodist Church, and a chronological narrative of women's activism within and beyond the church. Chapters on ministers' wives, Methodist and family life, prayer meetings and revivals, ladies' aid societies, mission wives and missionary women, community outreach work, and Methodism and the social gospel movement, all point to the great extent to which women kept Methodism alive in early Canada.... Marily Fädig Whiteley is to be congratulated for her efforts at brining these Methodist women's stories to light."
— Myra Rutherdale, University of Toronto Quarterly
"A magnificent story...[that] enlarges, transforms and enhances the entire Methodist movement....Those formerly in the background are brought forward."
— Eldon Hay, Touchstone
"Whiteley's accounts are agreeably readable, and she provides appropriate and vivid images of representative figures such as Annie Leake, Nellie McClung, and Elizabeth Sutherland Strachan."
— Jay Newman, Canadian Book Review Annual

Adopt Me! Senior Dog Lupo Is a Gentle Giant
When Lupo got feisty with a babysitter over a toy, the dog's parents, who were caring for an infant, made the decision to give him up. What they didn't realize was that the senior dog was losing his sight and was often startled because he couldn't see.
"He's about 70-percent blind, we're estimating," says Johnny O, one of the founders of the Rescue Ink animal rescue, based in Long Beach, New York. "I've had plenty of kids around him and he's happy – it was just one of those unfortunate situations. When you're a young couple your first protection is the child."
This sweet and affectionate dog needs an owner who is understanding of his special needs – specifically, one who will give him auditory cues. "He doesn't know you're coming, so that's where the education comes in," he explains. "You have to be careful in regards to playing with him or feeding him."
Johnny O says this "good boy" is a calming presence at the shelter around both dogs and cats. "He's calming like Daddy from the Dog Whisperer. The dogs here feed off [his energy]," he says. "He's very obedient."
Although he weighs approximately 120 lbs., Lupo has lived in apartments all his life and is comfortable in small spaces. But he welcomes the chance to run around, too."I moved him to one of the big runs in back of the shelter, he's living like a king," he adds.
If Lupo sounds like the sweet companion you've been looking for, contact the Rescue Ink Long Beach Animal Shelter at (516) 665-9050. To read more about him, visit his Petfinder profile page.
Click here to meet last week's adoptable pets, Joanie and Davy.
Adopting a pet is an amazing experience – and a big decision! Before bringing a pet into your home it's important to consider your family circumstances and do your research on breeds.

In a recent clinic (June, 1915) Murphy says, "We surgeons are not talking enough about early operation in appendicitis." That, I take it, depends on the audience. At such a gathering as this, one is justified in assuming that the question of acute appendicitis is settled, at least for the time being.
The method and time of treatment, and postoperative measures are practically uniform; delay in proper treatment is usually due to uncertainty in diagnosis, and the inexcusable estimated general hospital mortality of 10 per cent. is due to failure of some one to recognize well accepted principles of surgical diagnosis or treatment.
The question of chronic appendicitis calls for attention, not because of a high mortality rate, but because of a rather disconcerting morbidity rate, a postoperative persistence of symptoms. When a patient complains of the same symptoms after appendectomy as before the operation, there is sufficient reason for

Giving Husband Baby Fever: I Think It's Slowly Working!Devan McGuinness
A few weeks ago I shared with you the third phase in my "give husband baby fever" plan — images that I randomly send him at work or to his phone of our kids. I have let you in on the power of the newborn socks and so far, he has held strong against the baby fever — not letting it get to him.
That was what I thought until last night. Being the romantics we are (heh) we had our Valentine's Day date to do our weekly grocery shopping (without the kids, which really is a treat). While shopping and talking about nothing important I got the first glimpse that 'operation infect husband with baby fever' might actually be working.
Click through to see proof that it might actually be working:
Here is a picture I snapped of my husband last night as we wandered through the grocery store. Normally, clothes of the cute baby variety don't catch his eye but I watched him wander over to these cute pair of girly shoes and swoon over them.
I think this might actually be working!
Over the past two weeks our 2 youngest (Princess Raru & Princess Bean) are celebrating birthdays — with Raru turning 5 and Bean, our baby turning 3. He is noticing how much older they are getting and hopefully he will keep noticing the cute little things that newborns bring.
[I know some of you have questioned why I have to 'convince' him, but really, this is all in good fun. Trust me, we talk and talk about it — and really there is no anger or pressure here.]

So, I Have to Wonder…
...Who will be talking smack after the Monday Night Football game tonight? Will it be Zombyboy, the Denver Bronco lovin' faux undead guy, or will it be Nathan, the Chiefs-lovin' sinophile?
(22) Comments (0) Trackbacks Permalink
Comments & Trackbacks
Sorry, man, it's gonna be Nate. And you know how much it pains me to agree with that guy.
I hope you're a bad prognositcator.
But I think you're probably right.
If KC wins tonight I win the office pool. Nothing personal ZB.
Well, I'm only 15 and 14 picking the last two weeks straight up, and I picked the Chiefs. That definitely points to a Broncos win.
Hello, .500!
Hey, I'm in it to win it. But don't feel bad. My Steelers got beat by those filthy New Englanders.
...maybe the bigger question is: will Nathan even arrive to put in his input?
Sheesh, 6 comments before I even get a chance to put in a word edgewise!
Yeah, I'll be talking smack after. I think.
This is probably the most difficult game to predict. The Broncos have 2 quarters of good play this season. Can they continue it? Can KC blow 'em out at home? Or will the Mile-High Zone have an effect, and Ron Dayne rushes for 300 yards and 7 TDs? Or will Plummer-Smith start looking like Young-Rice/Manning-Harrison for one night?
Who knows? That's why they play the game, and it's why we watch.
I always thought that we watched because we needed an excuse to drink beer.
Since when did we ever need an excuse to drink beer?!?
...if anything, MNF is just a way to chase off most of the ladies so we can drink beer in peace.
Heheh. See, if I said something like that to the g-phrase, she might actually agree.
btw: Sinophile? You mean that in the singular sense or the general sense?
...did I tell you I'm reading "The Door Into Summer" in Chinese now?
I mean sinophile as in a person who appreciates China and its culture.
And, no, you didn't tell me that--although it does kind of confirm the appellation, doesn't it?
Oh, I wasn't ob<i>ject<i>ing...just looking for clarification. [grin]
Yeah, I also picked up translations of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", "Puppet Masters", and 4 Lois McMasters Bujold books in the "Miles Vorkosigan" series.
daggumit. I managed to hose up a Jeff G. partial italicization, didn't I?
In some places, "Sinophile" can be a perjorative. But yeah, it applies in the general sense. But also in the specific, based on the outstanding results of my latest Journey to the East.
Nah, you didn't screw it up--Expression Engine gets caught up on some weird word and code combinations. I just tried to fix it, but that isn't going to happen.
I tried to read one of the LMB books (since the g-phrase and her best friend's husband both swear that those are great books), but I just couldn't get into it. Apparently it's just me, though, since everyone else seems to love her.
But, no, that wasn't meant to be read with a dig or anything, just the general, descriptive sense of the word.
That might depend on which one you read first. The later books in the series (or even her 3 fantasy novels) should probably be read by an already-committed fan.
She crafts stories nearly better than anyone else. But sometimes she lets her social views influence her writing, i.e., social conservatives are always proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to not just be wrong, but lacking in honor, sense, humanity, etc. That sort of problem isn't quite so pronounced in the earlier books. And if that wasn't your problem, consider that in the later books, she's dealing with established characters...someone reading the 7th book, say, as an introduction to her writing won't have the same reaction as someone who has read the 6 previous books and so sees it all in context.
Of course, if you started with the first one, then I'm full of crap.
But she does seem to understand and communicate the nature of love better than most people, has the ability to make me laugh out loud, make me think, and is excellent at raising the stakes as the novel goes along. All starting with a 5-ft tall megalomaniac dwarf as a protagonist. Which is quite a feat, when you think of it.
I honestly don't remember the one that I tried to read first. I might give it another go sometime, though. It'll have to wait until I clear off the current stack of books sitting at the bedside, though.
Don't worry, it's not like you actually agreed with me or anything. The phrase "agreed with" implies "opinion" and "sentient thought". But fandom excludes both of those. I have to believe the Chiefs will win. It's in my blood. But you looking at it dispassionately and assessing the Chiefs' chances are better is the result of an entirely different process.
...now, if you are a Steven Brust, Lawrence Block, Donald Hamilton, or Lois McMasters Bujold fan...well, then we have to deal with being in agreement.
17 to 0. See what I told you? I can't prognosticate worth shit.
Nathan - No, no, no, and no. Ahhh, that feels better.
Lois Mcmaster Bujol has more hugo awards than any other sci-fi/fantasy writer. Uh think about that for a minute: Asimov, Heinlien.....
I read one of her books all night once, just could not stop. Then I reread it when I had more time. I did it again!
Her fantasy books are great too.

Teresa Anderson enjoys a Johnson County Government job that focuses on organization, order, and history.
She's the manager of the Johnson County Archives and Records Management Division, which is quietly marking its 20th anniversary in 2012. The division is part of the Department of Records and Tax Administration (RTA).
The department's responsibilities include being the caretaker of an estimated 51 million pages of historical documents from county government and court systems in more than 22,000 boxes along with 5,402 ledgers and scores of old township maps. They include hand-written public records and tax rolls dating back to the founding of Johnson County 157 years ago.
"We make history every day in the Archives Division," John Bartolac, director of RTA, said. "The process of preserving and archiving our county records shows us where we have been and where we are now in relation to our development and growth, our political and business beliefs and information about those who lived here before us and who lives with us now. We preserve our past records and maintain the current ones for future generations."
The division is a mere toddler in comparison to the history it stores. The county's Archives and Records Management program was established in 1990 under a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. The program became a county division with staff two years later.
For most of its existence, archives was located in the lower level of the Johnson County Administration Building in downtown Olathe, but relocated to the county's Operations Center, 19310 West 159th Street, Olathe, when that facility opened in 2007. The operation of the Archives Division was moved from the Facilities Management Department to RTA at the start of 2010.
It's a small division with a huge inventory; staff by only four employees – Anderson, Mallory Hodge and Dixie Mitchell, both archivist technicians; and GIS Technician Steven Tolman.
The archives facility serves two main purposes for Johnson County. It provides for the efficient, effective, and economical managements of public records. That includes documents that are historically important or no longer actively needed by courts or county departments, but must be legally maintained until state or federal laws permit their disposal.
Its secondary role is archival administration; assessing the historical significance of documents created by county government and ensuring permanent preservation of the county's historical papers. At the same time, the department provides a system to keep track of its massive inventory for retention by other county departments, courts, and public requests.
Another important task for the staff is to decide what is required to be retained. The facility receives about 3,000 boxes each year for safekeeping. Each box holds an average of 2,250 pages of documents. The county follows the state's retention schedule to determine how long documents are kept.
"It's almost a steady flow now," Anderson said, explaining that about the number of boxes being received and disposed is about the same each year. "It's pretty even-steven."
For the past two years, the division has recycled much of the materials earmarked for disposal. That's more than 2,500 boxes and 30 tons of paper, resulting in total savings of approximately $6,450.
It has coroner records, beginning in 1888; journals of the Board of County Commissioners that date back to 1857 when county government was organized on September 7 of that year; records of inventory and appraisement; road petitions; and school records, including common school examinations, truancy records, teacher examinations, and record of certificates granted.
The department has some records signed by the Rev. Thomas Johnson, a Methodist minister who, in 1829, established a mission in Fairway among the Shawnee Indians. The county was named after him when it was created on August 25, 1855, as one of the first 33 counties in Kansas, then only a territory.
The records reflect times when horse and chicken stealing were major crimes; when James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok was a constable and enforcing law and order in Monticello Township; when an acre of land generally sold for $5 or less; when divorce papers often detailed marital affairs as reasons for the actions, including pictures of the alleged lovers as part of the court proceedings; and when segregated schools existed in Johnson County.
Most visitors who have found their way to the Archives Division have looked for information in hopes of tracing family ancestors through birth, death, and marriage records, but anyone can take a look at the historic inventory for whatever reason.
The staff delights in the stories that have to be coaxed and interpreted from faded documents full of numbers and history about Johnson County and former generations of citizens.
A few "ghost hunters" have researched documents to try the find the possible names and backgrounds of apparitions in their homes.
Some requests have changed family history by indicating farms were not actually owned, but sharecropped by previous generations, and that some members in the family history were married more times than what was previously known.
"It fills a lot of gaps in family trees," Mitchell said.
Although a lot of the information is accessible online, the original records have personal value to citizens asking for research of old files involving past family members.
"People like to hold the documents and look at them," Hodge said.
Tolman agreed.
"When they see their great-grandfather's signature, it means so-much to them," he added.
To the casual visitor, the archives are more like the attic of Johnson County Government piled high with boxes of papers and ledgers filled with an elegant script that goes back to the 19th century.
A first visit to the Archives and Records Management Division gives one the chance to confirm and call into question all the stereotypes. The county collection includes lots and lots of old books – none of them noticeably worm-eaten, but many with vellum pages and gilded leather bindings. There are more than 22,000 file boxes filled with a wide variety of papers and records.
Despite traditional clichés, the archives are well-lit, have no cobwebs, and lack the expected musty odor. The main collection room is kept at a constant temperature to protect the documents from being damaged by too much heat, humidity, or other natural perils in storing aging papers, books, and other documents for future use.
The facility also has a limited number of historic photographs that were received as part of the public files along with a handful of old newspapers detailing historic events, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor and the celebration of V-E Day, the abdication of King Edward VII, and the disappearance of Kansas native and famed aviator Ameila Earhart.
In showcasing what the archives collection has to offer, Anderson walks concrete floors between the steel racks of 25 movable shelves under dim fluorescent lighting. The shelves, which measure about 90 feet in length and approximately 14 feet in height, double the storage capacity at the facility by eliminating the need for a pathway between shelves for accessibility and making it possible to store a lot of items in limited space. The system has an overall capacity to store roughly 30,000 boxes.
The staff spends a lot of their days processing the voluminous materials that the division receives and manages. It's not a simple filing job. It's a massive undertaking. The bulk of the collections have been stored into accessible files and recorded on a comprehensive computer database maintained and constantly updated.
"We have an awesome system and can find anything," Anderson added.
Most of the archived materials have been placed in acid-free boxes and folders. Each box has its own tracking number to note its location for future reference through a master inventory list.
Many of the fragile documents are encapsulated to preserve them and ensure future longevity. The process protects the materials, but allows for their safe removal, if needed, since the edges of the protective covering are only sealed by an ultrasonic weld.
Office hours are 8 a.m. through 5 p.m. with research services from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and by calling the main office number at (913) 715-0400 or by email. There is no charge for services, but each request is limited to 30 minutes or so of staff time to conduct "reasonable research" for specific information. Fees are charged for copying any materials in the archives collection.
The division provides access to many of its old records through the website http://archives.jocogov.org.
"We have a duty to preserve our records, but the staff that performs archival duties does so with respect for the history these records hold," Bartolac said. "After 20 years, we still provide the same due diligence by storing the records in an organized fashion for easy access and retrieval, by consistently following retention and destruction schedules, and by providing quality, helpful service to our customers. We are proud to be part of preserving the history of Johnson County."
Anderson agreed.
"Archives assists Johnson County Government in its openness and helps in the transparency of our government," she said with a smile. "We are, indeed, an open book."

Can't stand your workmates? Hate public transport? Then a new invention now available in New Zealand could be your salvation.
The bizarre Ostrich Pillow, invented overseas, is designed to help fans of the powernap and is being imported by a 26-year-old entrepreneur and selling for $39.
Whangarei photocopier salesman Travis Honeybone was testing the product this week after importing the pillow from China. It resembles a huge, padded balaclava and was named after the myth about ostriches burying their heads in the sand.
Honeybone said the pillow was comfortable and also blocked out harsh light.
"Any angle you sleep on it still fits quite well to your head."
His girlfriend thought he was slightly crazy, and other feedback was mixed. "Mainly they say it's a great idea, but people couldn't see themselves wearing it because they're too focused on their image and it looks silly."
He said the pillow could suit migraine sufferers. "It's like putting a slipper on your foot, but on your head instead."

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton speculated that a victory by Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama will prompt Israel to attack's Iran's nuclear facilities.
"An Obama victory would rule out military action by the Israelis because they would fear the consequences given the approach Obama has taken to foreign policy," Bolton said in an interview with Britain's Daily Telegraph.
"The Israelis have one eye on the calendar because of the pace at which the Iranians are proceeding both to develop their nuclear weapons capability and to do things like increase their defenses," he said.
"They're also obviously looking at the American election calendar. My judgment is that they would not want to do anything before our election because there's no telling what impact it could have on the election," he said.
According to the former UN ambassador, reaction to such a strike by the Arab world "will be positive privately. I think there will be public denunciations, but no action," he said.
Bolton believes Israel may postpone an attack if Republican Senator John McCain is elected, whose position on Iran is much more realistic than the Bush administration's, he said.
In a separate interview with FOX News, Bolton predicted that Israel would likely make its move sometime between Election Day on November 4 and the January inauguration.
"I think if they [Israel] are to do anything, the most likely period is after our elections and before the inauguration of the next President," Bolton said.

Mills action/thriller spec to shoot next year
Emmett/Furla Films has acquired "Brutal," an action/thriller spec by Jonathan W. C. Mills that is being fast tracked to shoot early next year in Louisiana, with Mills directing.
Randall Emmett, George Furla, Katie Chonacas and Laura Rister will produce.
Pic is a morality tale set in the world of outlaw bikers in suburban America.
Mills recently set up another spec, "Inside Passage," at Gold Circle Films, which Rister is also producing.
Purchase was made with coin provided by executive producer Sefton Fincham.
Fincham will partly finance the film for Emmett/Furla, which has a longstanding relationship with Millennium Films. The producers most recently made "Righteous Kill" and recently wrapped production on the Werner Herzog-directed Nicolas Cage-starrer "Bad Lieutenant."

The search for life outside our solar system becomes a personal and spiritual quest for a young researcher. Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) is a scientist who lost her faith in God after her parents died when she was a child. However, Ellie has learned to develop a different sort of faith in the seemingly unknowable: working with a group that monitors radio waves from space, Ellie hopes that some day she will receive a coherent message from another world that will prove that there is a world beyond our own. Ellie's hard work is rewarded when her team picks up a signal that does not appear to be of earthly origin. Ellie decodes the message, which turns out to be plans for a space craft, which she takes as an invitation for a meeting with the aliens. Ellie and her fellow researchers soon run into interference from a White House scientific advisor, David Drumlin (Tom Skerritt), who cuts off their funding and tries to take credit for their achievements. However, Ellie receives moral support from Palmer Joss (Matthew McConaughey), a spiritual teacher who advises President Clinton and tries to persuade her to accept the existence of a higher power, and financial backing from S.R. Hadden (John Hurt), a multi-millionaire willing to fund her attempts to contact the source of the message. Contact was based on a novel by Carl Sagan, who advised director Robert Zemeckis during the film's production until his death in 1996. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Heifer dispatches photographer to Philippines as damage assessment continues
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Dec. 10, 2012) - Heifer International sent a photographer to the Philippines over the weekend to document damage and record existing state images in the wake of Typhoon Bopha, which struck the southern island of Mindanao last week with hurricane-force winds and heavy rains. The photographer will return to the area in late January, along with a World Ark writer to record the situation and report on long-term agriculture rehabilitation plans.
Meanwhile, Heifer International country staff in the Philippines continues to assess damage in the south from last week's typhoon strike, and to help prepare for the rehabilitation efforts that will be needed to help project families get back on their feet.
Hercules Paradiang, Heifer Philippines country director, and his team are also working and talking with other nonprofits that are experienced in disaster response, as well as a federation of eight Heifer-organized self-help groups that have been supporting relief efforts since last week and will play an important part in on-the-ground rehabilitation work.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development has also assumed direction of NGO efforts and is discussing longer-term rehabilitation partnerships.
Officials said 647 are confirmed dead, with another 780 missing. Total affected population is 487,364 families, or 5,412,140 people in 30 provinces in eight regions. Estimates of overall damage are as high as USD $173 million.
Specific to Heifer, at least 366 families in two projects in Sta. Josefa, Agusan del Sur were significantly affected, with homes damaged or destroyed. More than 250 pigs were lost, as well as 90 goats. Rice, corn and banana crops were significantly damaged, and initial estimates from Heifer communities place damages at USD $550,000. Philippines country staff is asking for an immediate $50,000 in aid to help provide short-term food relief and materials to repair homes and a feed mill, such as tin for the roofs and raw feed ingredients for surviving animals.

Flood prevention work in Belford has been highlighted as an example to follow nationwide following severe floods in other parts of the country.
Water experts are calling on ministers to show greater leadership on flooding by promoting back-to-nature schemes which protect lowland homes by deliberately creating floods in the hills.
The Northumberland Wildlife Trust argues that upland schemes to slow river flow cost a fraction of conventional flood walls.
A pilot project carried out upstream of Belford by the Environment Agency and Newcastle University in 2007 has been a huge success.
Here, several ponds have been built to catch run-off water and allow it to soak away slowly rather than rushing downstream into the village.
In an interview for BBC Breakfast, Geoff O'Connell of Belford Parish Council said: "Life was fairly miserable. We had five floods in a little over two years and every time it happened people were knee deep in water, carpets were soaked. It was absolutely dreadful and we needed an answer.
"The flooding has stopped altogether now and transformed everything for everybody here."
Phil Welton, from the Environment Agency, says the UK should aspire to have a pond in every field in the areas where flood prevention is needed.
"We really need to change out thinking about how to deal with flood risk in the UK," he said. "We have built defences to deal with the problem where it occurs rather than look upstream at where the water runs off the land.
"Really there are so many solutions up and around the catchment that need to be looked at."
A handful of pilot projects have pioneered cheap small-scale measures like felling trees into streams to slow down the flow, and building earth banks to catch run-off water and allow it to soak away but progress has been slow and funding is a major problem.
Duncan Hutt, head of land management at Northumberland Wildlife Trust said: "It really is unacceptable to have had thousands of people in communities up and down the country devastated by these floods when we know there's a better way to deal with flooding.
"It is time to take a more imaginative approach; one which tackles a whole range of problems head-on. Natural solutions will make rural and urban landscapes more absorbent and better able to deal with heavy rainfall as well as drought."

A Greeley mother on Friday pleaded guilty to prostitution in a case in which she and her daughter were accused of offering sexual services in their home and bringing clients there even while a 2-year-old child was present.
Sherry Whitacre, 43, and her daughter, Amanda Becker, 25, were accused in May of prostitution after police discovered the two were advertising sexual services on backpage.com. An undercover officer with the Weld Drug Task Force arranged a date with Whitacre and found that Becker's 2-year-old son was living in the same home where the women offered their services.
After pleading guilty to one count of prostitution, a misdemeanor, Whitacre was immediately sentenced to 18 months probation and 30 days of wearing an ankle monitor. She will also serve 20 hours of community service and attend a class. One count of child abuse was dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
Becker pleaded guilty in June to two misdemeanors: one count of keeping a place of prostitution and one count of child abuse. She was sentenced to a year of probation for the prostitution charge. She received a deferred judgement on the child abuse charge, meaning that could be removed from her record if she completes probation.
Whitacre's attorney, Kathryn Crampton, said she thinks Whitacre was in a "desperate" state at the time of her offenses, and the two resorted to prostitution for financial reasons.

Firefighters contain brush fire near Fillmore
County fire: 100% contained by 8 a.m. Wednesday
POSTED: 01:48 PM PDT Jun 19, 2013 UPDATED: 02:03 PM PDT Jun 19, 2013
Firefighters from Fillmore, Santa Paula and Ventura County worked all night to surround a fire south of the Hopper Mountain Condor refuge.
They named the 60-acre fire the Condor Fire.
The condor sanctuary was not threatened and no one was injured. But it was difficult to get water and crews to the flames. Five air tankers helped put the flames out.
Windy and dry weather conditions helped the fire quadruple in size Tuesday afternoon.
The cause remains under investigation.

If South Carolina quarterbacks Connor Shaw and Dylan Thompson are going to be on the field at the same time this fall, no one is willing to talk about it.
There has been plenty of speculation that USC head coach Steve Spurrier will use Shaw, who has rushed for more than 1,100 yards during his career, and Thompson together in certain offensive packages.
But players and coaches alike are guarding that information like it's a top-secret document.
"You never know what we'll do with (Shaw) and (Thompson)," said South Carolina quarterback coach G.A. Mangus. "If we tell you guys (the media), we might as well tell the whole world."
The 6-1, 210-pound Shaw has ripped off plenty of long runs during his career and is considered the better athlete of the two. At 6-3, 220 pounds, Thompson is more of a pocket-passing quarterback.
"They both are good athletes," Mangus said. "Connor could probably play five different positions. He played five different positions in high school. When you have that kind of athlete, it's fun to mess around with stuff."
Thompson couldn't resist joking with the media about getting a snap at wide receiver.
"We haven't done that yet. You've got to remember that I'm a limited athlete, so probably not a good idea to split me out wide," Thompson said with a chuckle.
Shaw having good camp
Steve Spurrier is rarely happy with his quarterbacks, and this preseason has been no different.
Spurrier goes out of his way to compliment walk-ons over more established quarterbacks like Shaw and Thompson.
Shaw has been around the program long enough to just shrug off such comments that Spurrier makes to the media.
"Connor has had a great camp and he had one of his better practices today," Mangus said. "Connor made some throws down the field with tight coverages in small windows that shows a lot of progress. Connor is going to be fine."
Shaw had some back pain that limited his throwing during last weekend's scrimmage.
"I just had a little back spasm. It wasn't anything major. I went for treatment and it was fine after that. It was nothing serious," Shaw said. "I've been getting both my feet taped up for practice for precautionary reasons, but my foot feels good."
Thompson started and won two games last year, throwing the game-winning touchdown pass against Michigan in the bowl game. Spurrier and Mangus have said that Shaw will start against North Carolina and there's little talk of any quarterback controversy during preseason camp.
"We've got two proven winners at quarterbacks," Shaw said.
OL starters playing well
South Carolina offensive line coach Shawn Elliott knew he had a veteran group returning on the offensive line.
The Gamecocks have four returning starters, and Elliott has been pleased with how the starters have performed so far in preseason camp.
"It's been a real productive camp," Elliott said. "The first team is doing really well competing out here every day. It's really a blessing having guys who know what they're doing today and have the right mindset to get things accomplished. So we're moving forward."
The only new starter is at center where Cody Waldrop takes over for T.J. Johnson, but Elliott has been pleased with his progress.
"Every day he sees something that is different that he puts in that brain and files back and brings it out the next day," Elliott said. "The more reps he sees, the more stunts and fronts he is going to see. He's preparing like he's the man, and he's done an exceptional job so far."
Brandon Shell, a former Goose Creek High School standout, has continued to build on a strong 2012 season, Elliott said.
"I think Brandon has grown by leaps and bounds," Elliott said. "I'm feeling pretty good about Brandon. Any time you can have the development of a guy who goes out there and plays against quality opponents and sees different pass rushers each week, it pays dividends. Nothing is going to surprise Brandon this year, and I think he's real comfortable and set in his ways at right tackle."
Injury update
Those who remain sidelined include Bruce Ellington (hamstring), Rory Anderson (hamstring), Chaz Sutton (foot), Cedrick Cooper (elbow), Kyle Morini (elbow), Gerald Turner (ankle), James King (foot), Mike Matulis (shoulder) and Cody Gibson (knee).
"Cody (Gibson) should be out here the next week or so," Elliott said. "I don't worry about them until they show up on the field. I try not to deal with the trainers."

SANTA CLARA -- It's difficult to say what form it ends up taking, but the 49ers' offense will be different than the past.
The actual offensive system will be the same, of course. But some of the personnel will be different, and that should impact the play-calling of offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
"It's fair to make the statement it's a different offense," Roman said Tuesday on the first day of the team's mandatory minicamp. "We've got some new guys in."
The new guys he mentioned are wide receivers Brandon Lloyd and Stevie Johnson. With Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree firmly set as the team's starting wideouts, the 49ers appear to have better depth than at any point since the beginning of the Jim Harbaugh era. Quinton Patton, who ended his rookie season as the No. 3, finds competition from a rookie, fourth-round pick Bruce Ellington.
Only for the final five regular-season games last season when Boldin and Crabtree were on the field together did the 49ers have two productive wide receivers. And they've never gotten much contribution from a No. 3.
For the first time in a long time, the 49ers appear capable of putting four wide receivers on the field at the same time.
And depending on how committed tight end Vernon Davis is to his contract holdout, the 49ers' depth at wide receiver comes at a great time.
Here's a recap of Day 1 from the 49ers' minicamp:
--Vernon Davis and guard Alex Boone skipped the first day of the mandatory minicamp, prompting a rebuke from 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh: "(It's) not the decision I envisioned being the 49er way." Those are the strongest words Harbaugh has said since coming to the 49ers directed at his players.
[RELATED: Harbaugh: Absences 'not the 49er way']
--Crabtree and Johnson went through individual drills, then sat out the team periods. Boldin looked as strong and sure-handed as ever. The other player who stood out was Ellington, who appears to have the short-area quickness to be an effective slot receiver.
--Tight end Vance McDonald moves up to the No. 1 slot with Davis' absence. Here's what Roman had to say about his contribution last season: "(He) was instrumental in our rushing attack. Didn't have a lot of opportunities in the passing game. That will probably pick up more."
He should get more opportunities to catch the ball, considering he caught just nine passes in 19 games, including the postseason. He had a couple of opportunities in 7-on-7 drills, but dropped darts from Josh Johnson and Colin Kaepernick.
--Reserve tight end Derek Carrier, who spent eight games on the active roster a year ago, has put together an impressive offseason. However, he went down early in practice with what's believed to be a mild hamstring strain. He did not return to practice.
--These players did not take part in practice: running back Frank Gore, tackle Anthony Davis (shoulder), linebackers NaVorro Bowman (knee) and Aaron Lynch (hamstring), defensive linemen Ian Williams (leg) and Justin Smith, fullback Trey Millard (knee), cornerback Keith Reaser (knee), safeties Jimmie Ward (foot) and C.J. Spillman (hand). Cornerback Chris Culliver (knee) took part in individual work, but sat out team drills.
Bowman and Gore watched the 2-hour, 20-minute practice from the sideline. Bowman declined comment in the locker room. He will be placed on the physically-unable-to-perform list upon reporting to training camp on July 23. He is expected to open the regular season on PUP, too, which would make him ineligible for the first six weeks of the season.
--With Bowman out of action, the 49ers have moved Patrick Willis to Bowman's "mike" position. That way, Michael Wilhoite can remain in the "jack" position he played when he filled in for Willis last season.
--With Boone, the starting right guard, taking a stand on his contract, third-year player Joe Looney is getting the first-team practice time.
"Joe Looney has done a great job -- shown himself well," Roman said. "Next man up. That's how it goes.
"He played in the Rams game and graded out extremely high against a really good defensive front. So he just needs to keep stacking great days on top of each other and keep getting better."
--Jonathan Martin has also getting tutored at right guard, but he spent all of his practice time at right tackle with Anthony Davis out of action. Harbaugh said he hopes Davis will be available at the start of training camp after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery.
[REWIND: Anthony Davis undergoes shoulder surgery]
--Safety D.J. Campbell, a third-year player from Cal, intercepted a Kory Faulkner pass in 7-on-7. Safety James McCray, an undrafted rookie from Catawba, had a very good day with three passes defensed.
--Outside linebacker Aldon Smith made one of the better plays when he dropped into coverage and jumped high to break up a pass intended for wide receiver Devon Wylie along the left sideline.
--LaMichael James and Perrish Cox were the only two players back deep fielding punts. Ellington and Quinton Patton got work on the outside as gunners, which could be key to their bids to suit up among the 46 active players in the regular season.
--Running back Marcus Lattimore continues to show very good hands as a receiver out of the backfield.
--Veteran Eric Wright's decision Tuesday to retire likely saved him from ultimately getting released as the 49ers must trim their roster from 90 players to 53 to open the season. With Chris Cook's emergence and the coaches' preference for Cox, Wright was looking like a long shot to win a job behind presumptive starters Tramaine Brock and Chris Culliver.
[NEWS: 49ers CB Wright retires]
--Practice concluded with four possessions in which the offense took over at their own 30. The defense stopped the offense each time.
Aldon Smith broke through to "sack" Colin Kaepernick for a 7-yard loss, and Ahmad Brooks and Tony Jerod-Eddie batted down passes at the line of scrimmage to halt the first drive.
With Blaine Gabbert at quarterback, the offense went three-and-out with only a short completion to tight end Asante Cleveland. Two passes to LaMichael James got nothing as cornerback Dontate Johnson and safety Bubba Ventrone had those two plays sniffed out.
Kaepernick completed passes to Kassim Osgood (20 yards) and Ellington (14), but fullback Bruce Miller was ruled stopped short on a fourth-and-1 run. (Not quite sure how that was determined, since these are non-contract drills).
And, finally, Josh Johnson completed a 25-yarder to undrafted rookie tight end Kevin Greene before the final drive stalled. While Ward is out of action, the 49ers are giving a lot of work to second-year cornerback Darryl Morris in the slot. Morris broke up a pass intended for Osgood.
--Kaepernick continued to spend his down time during special teams drills working on timing passes in the red zone. He sailed a couple passes down the field during team work drills.
--Gabbert looked sharp. Due to his guaranteed $2 million salary, it would be a major surprise if he's not the No. 2 quarterback. Predictably, Harbaugh said he'll have to earn it: "We're competing for that spot."
