Being a mom is hard work. Taking care of one child or multiple children can be overwhelming and exhausting - whether you work full time or not. So what's a mom to do when she needs some time away from the house?
Luckily, a group of local women have organized the first Williamsport Mom Prom, a ladies night out that promises a great time - all to benefit a worthy cause.
To celebrate National Mom Prom Night on Saturday, the event will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Genetti Hotel's Grand Ballroom, 200 W. Fourth St., and all proceeds will benefit the Beacon Hub Drop-In Center, 400 Lycoming St., Suite 1, inside the William Hepburn Apartment Complex.

Above, from left are Mom Prom organizers Jillian Park, Christina Staccone and Casey Packer, shown with some of their old prom gowns, formal gowns and bridesmaid dresses. At right, Debbie Eichenlaub shows off her Mom Prom tickets. Eichenlaub, a resident of the William Hepburn Apartments, plans on attending with her daughters and mother.
The event was organized by three women - Jillian Park, Casey Packer and Christina Staccone - who were looking for a way to raise funds for the Beacon Hub Drop-In Center. Park is a psychiatric rehabilitation specialist for Skills of Central Pennsylvania, which operates the center, and she works closely with Staccone, who runs the local operation. Park also enlisted the help of her longtime friend Packer, the sales and event coordinator at the Genetti. Packer was instrumental in getting the location space donated for the cause.
"Mr. G. likes to give back to the community," Packer said. "And Jillian is the type of person you don't say no to."
The Beacon Hub Drop-In Center promotes recovery, community inclusion and independence through self-determination, education and consumer-run programming for members with a mental health diagnosis.
Park said that since moving from the Pajama Factory to its current location in January, the Beacon Hub is only being funded on a part-time basis, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays.
According to Staccone, the Beacon Hub is a safe place where people ages 18 and older who reside in Lycoming and Clinton counties can go if they have cognitive disabilities and mental health issues. It is a place where they can socialize with their peers, get support, watch television, play Wii or computer games, or try karaoke.
On Fridays, the facility offers lunch for a nominal cost, which usually draws a large crowd. The Beacon Hub staff believe that all people can recover to the degree that they feel comfortable and support this journey of happiness, understanding and hope.
The women were brainstorming ways to raise funds for the Beacon Hub when they discovered the national Mom Prom organization and realized no Mom Proms had been scheduled for the Williamsport area. Although there are several Mom Proms throughout the state, the nearest one is in Lock Haven.
So the women seized the opportunity to bring the event to Lycoming County.
The national Mom Prom was created in 2006 in Canton, Mich., with the goal of "changing the world, ladies, one prom at a time."
Park hopes women will bring their friends and wear old prom gowns, bridesmaids' dresses or wedding gowns - anything for a laugh.
"This is a real prom with a DJ, dancing, contests and lots of fun," she said. "It will be a wonderful, hilarious night in which you can dance the night away, have fun with friends and help a worthy cause."
Although prom gowns are recommended, Park said women can wear casual clothes, too. The goal is to raise money for the charity and have a good time.
Park said she and Packer are hoping to have a fun night away from their kids: Park has two children ages 6 and 3 and Packer has a 10-year-old son.
Resident of William Hepburn Apartments, Debbie Eichenlaub, recently was at the Beacon Hub.
She already had purchased tickets to attend with daughters, Desiree Castle and Deanna Morey, and her mother, Norma Duttry.
Tickets are available at the Genetti Hotel, 200 W. Fourth St.; Robert M. Sides Family Music Center, 201 Mulberry St.; and the Beacon Hub, 400 Lycoming St., Suite 1.
Because there will be a cash bar, the event is only for women ages 21 and older.

Origin of the Sinhala Alphabet
An early form of Sinhala was written in Brahmi script, in inscriptions dating to the 3rd and 2nd centuries B.C.E. The form of the script changed significantly between the 4th and 8th centuries C.E.
This is a syllabic alphabet in which all consonants have an inherent vowel. Diacritics, which can appear above, below, before or after the consonant they belong to, are used to change the inherent vowel. When they appear at the beginning of a word, vowels are written as independent letters. When certain consonants occur together, special conjunct symbols are used which combine the essential parts of each letter. A subset of the letters was used to write classical Sinhala. Extra letters and conjunct symbols were added to write the Sanskrit and Pali loanwords which expanded the language.
The Language
Sinhala is considered an Indo-Aryan language, though it has also been influenced by members of the Dravidian language group. Sinhala (sometimes referred to as Sinhalese) is one of the two local languages in the island country of Sri Lanka (population approx. 19 million). It is used widely in the Sri Lankan diaspora, as is Tamil, the second local language of the country.
Sinhala literature includes prose and poetic traditions, both of which have many subsidiary genres and have differed considerably throughout Sri Lankas history. The earliest extant literary production dates to the 9th century C.E.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Disney canceled the next voyage of the cruise ship Magic on Wednesday after dozens of people contracted a flu like stomach illness this week - the vessel's second voyage in a row where passengers got sick.
Instead of embarking on a week long Caribbean cruise Saturday, the Magic will remain docked in Port Canaveral while crews clean "every surface throughout the ship that a guest would come in contact with," Disney Cruise Lines spokeswoman Marilyn Waters said.
The Magic was in Cozumel, Mexico, on Wednesday with about 2,400 passengers and 950 crew members. Of those, 104 passengers and 19 crew fell ill, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The ship was disinfected as recently as Saturday, after 275 people got sick on its last seven-day voyage.
A CDC test confirmed Tuesday that those passengers had the Norwalk virus, a common ailment that can cause diarrhea, stomach pain and vomiting for up to two days.

Cheerful, Creative, Crocheter and Collector of all things Colorful describes me to a C--er, I mean a T. My sweet, left-handed granny taught me (a righty) to crochet when I was but a youngster. My first project was a hideously long scarf for my dad. It seems I just didn't know when to stop--something my teachers told me in school, too! Although crochet and other craftiness have always been part of my life, I channeled my energy and creativity into teaching Jr. High and High School sciences for many years.
When I am not "yarning" (as described by my youngest), I treasure time with my family, friends, running, thrift store shopping, and learning new creative skills.

A beautiful and simple heart motif makes for a coaster set or a sweet garland--hanging chain instructions included. They don't need to be used only for Valentines but would be adorable in a child's room or a cozy little nook.
The 2 page printable pattern also includes 5 pages with 19 pictures to walk you through the steps. This pattern is a great stash buster as it only requires small bits of yarn in your choice of colors.
Written in standard American crochet terms and suitable for a beginner.
--small bits of colors of your choice--I used four colors to make six hearts for the pictured bunting
--mini clothes pins with which to hang your hearts

Astree 2-Light Wall Sconce from Eurofase

Watch: 'Vampire Diaries' star Claire Holt talks 'Originals,' sibling staking
While actress Claire Holt has the same (well, almost the same) accent as Rebekah, the lovelorn, lonely, pouty and often miserable vampire she plays on "The Vampire Diaries" and is now taking to the spin-off "The Originals," otherwise she seems to have little in common with the character. That, of course, can only be considered a good thing.
While it's still a little amazing (to me, at least) that Rebekah would follow her brother Klaus to New Orleans given how many times he's betrayed her, Holt has some perspective on her character's motivation. "She is loyal and wants to be a part of a family unit... so she's going to pull her socks up and get down to New Orleans."
Alas, the drawback to being loyal to Klaus is that Rebekah gets staked. A lot. "I spend a lot of time in coffins," Holt joked. "And filming those scenes are not the most fun things in the world."
Holt also thinks that, though Klaus isn't excited about becoming a baby daddy, being an aunt will probably appeal to Rebekah, given her affinity for family. She may not have much in common with Rebekah, but it seems Holt has a pretty good bead on what makes her character run.
Will you watch "The Originals" this fall?

Can the country be rescued from Obamacare mess?
November 17, 2013
We now have a number – 26,794 – to quantify the embarrassment that the strong-armed national health care law is....
hi thinblue, we are all a little crazy, but ACA is the best game in town. ACA will save me hundreds a month over COBRA after my layoff. If repubs would help instead of trying to hurt Obama , we would all be better off. And if you check the facts instead of FAUX news, you'll see repubs were for it until Obama passed it.

Hey Chas... are you insane or did you lose your identity trying to log in??? Obamacare will do that to you...
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
ACA is a republican proposal to help solve the health care problems. Too bad we can't work together to make it work. Doing nothing, or repealing the many improvements such as no denials for preconditions, does not help.

"To think the website can ever become capable of handling every American's health care needs, hacker-free, requires a suspension of reality."
...Primarily by those folks who are still baffled by "that, there electrisical-stuff".
For those folks who've taken the "risk" of embracing the 21st Century (and, any-and-all engineering-tasks, included), it's more-commonly-referred-to as...."another day" at the software-development "office".

I think the whole thing will collapse.
It's dependent on people who don't have insurance, or can't afford insurance, signing up for plans, paying premiums (with or without help), then paying copays and deductibles.
Move forward to mid 2014 when people start reporting policy cancellations due to non payment of premiums, or being sent to collection agencies because they haven't paid their deductibles.
I think, much like passing the bill to see what's in it, we'll have to wait and see what the many consequences will be.

OSHA investigating recent deadly accidents at Fayetteville apartment construction siteUPDATED 10:39 PM CDT Jun 20, 2013
After a rash of accidents left 2 dead, the city of Fayetteville is routinely checking in on safety meetings.Video Transcript
WEEKS, BUT CITY OFFICIALS SAY CREWS ARE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WORKING THERE. 40/29'S JOSH TAYLOR HAS MORE ON WHAT THEY SAY MIGHT BE THE CAUSE OF THESE ACCIDENTS. HE'S LIVE AND LOCAL TONIGHT. HERE IN FAYETTEVILLE CREWS ARE BUILDING THE VUE APARTMENTS FOR STUDENT HOUSING, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN THREE ACCIDENTS ON THIS SITE IN THE PAST SIX WEEKS, AND CITY OFFICIALS SAY THE WORKERS HAVEN'T VIOLATED ANY ORDINANCES AS FAR AS BUILDING SAFETY. Jeremy Pate, Director, Development Services: "There are oftentimes minor violations when someone calls for an inspection, but generally, those can be repaired either on the spot or fairly quickly." JEREMY PATE SAYS THERE WAS ONLY ONE WORK STOPPAGE ON THE VUE APARTMENTS. THAT HAPPENED FOR ABOUT A MONTH IN APRIL FOR FIRE CODE VIOLATIONS. BUT IN MAY, ONE WORKER DIED WHEN A TRENCH HE WAS DIGGING COLLAPSED, AND ANOTHER WORKER WAS ELECTOCUTED AND DIED JUST TWO WEEKS AGO. THIS MORNING FIREFIGHTERS SAY A DIESEL TANK FELL OFF A FORKLIFT, SPILLING HUNDREDS OF GALLONS OF FUEL DOWN THE HILLSIDE AND INTO A STORM DRAIN. CITY OFFICIALS SAY A LARGE JOB LIKE THIS ONE WITH SO MANY WORKERS INVOLVED INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD FOR ACCIDENTS. Mauro Campos, Fayetteville Battalion Chief: "They've got electricians, plumbers, construction workers, builders and equipment operators, all kinds of different people and different skills and it's just a big operation." Jeremy Pate: "I think this one in particular just happens to be a large project, so there are a lot of different individuals and contractors there to manage. But really in terms of occupational safety, it's on them, so they have to meet state guidelines and OSHA requirements for occupational safety." AS FAR AS THE WORK GOES, CITY OFFICIALS SAY THEY WILL CONTINUE THEIR ROUTINE INSPECTIONS AND MAKE SURE ALL THE WORK DONE HERE COMPLIES WITH ALL CITY CODES AND ORDINANCES. LIVE TONIGHT, JOSH TAYLOR, 40/29 NEWS. THE TWO FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THAT CONSTRUCTION SITE ARE UNDER OSHA INVESTIGATION. BOTH ARE STILL PENDING.

JERSEY SHORE - The Jersey Shore Area School Board not only was given updates on an elementary school construction project but also discussed the future of fifth-grade students Monday.
Brian Haines, of Crabtree, Rohrbaugh and Associates, presented the board with renditions of how the Jersey Shore Elementary School will look.
He showed drawings of a lobby that would incorporate graphics and windows for a gymnasium that would "flood" it with light.
Haines said the graphics would "make it a little more fun," for the elementary school students.
"We're trying to work in some school colors," Haines said.
As Haines explained, only doors to the school's main entrance would be accessible to visitors. Those visiting the school would be required to go into the office before they are given permission to access the rest of the school.
Besides adding an alternative bid for the bus loop in front of the school, Haines said the project hadn't changed much. The alternative bid would add 25 parking spaces to the property.
A small-group instruction room also was added after adjusting the layout of the school. Haines called it a "minor modification."
Asked if the current plans still will allow the district to close an elementary school, Haines responded, "absolutely."
Board member John Shireman later said he believed the district could close two elementary schools. Shireman's comments came after he discussed moving all district fifth graders to the middle school.
"The two schools you want to look at closing are Nippenose Valley and Salladasburg," he said.
He said although he voted to not close a school earlier this year, he now believes it can be done successfully.
Although Avis Elementary was discussed as being closed previously, Shireman said it would be a "real mistake" to do so.
Superintendent Richard Emery said the district is looking into the move but added that nothing would happen before this school year.
"I'm not saying we could do that this year by any stretch," he said.
Shireman said the district must "look at the future," and should create an extensive plan on direction.
Some members of the public agreed.
"I do have to agree with Mr. Shireman. We do seem to miss a global plan," said Adrienne Stahl, of Limestone Township.
Board President Robert Pryor said the district is working on one and needs time to put it into action, when Stahl asked what its plan was.
Emery said nothing would be done this year but the district is only exploring its options now. Shireman added that the district had done a similar move with sixth-grades students previously and it was successful.

While tremendous inroads have been made over the last several decades against respiratory infections, diarrheal disease, birth injuries and vaccine-preventable infections like measles, there has been an explosive growth in cancer rates worldwide. Direct Relief supports effective global health initiatives aimed at decreasing the burden of cancer for vulnerable populations in the developing world, where over half of cancer cases occur.
Screening for Cervical Cancer in Haiti
Although cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, it is the second most common cancer found among women worldwide. Almost 300,000 women die each year from cervical cancer and 80 percent of those deaths occur in developing countries.
Over the past several decades the cervical cancer burden has decreased dramatically in developed countries with the widespread adoption of cervical cancer screening programs. In developing countries, however, it is estimated that only five percent of women have been screened for cervical cancer—a stark contrast to the 40-50 percent of women in developed countries who have been screened.
In Haiti, the incidence of cervical cancer ranks among the highest in the world. In an effort to reduce the incidence of this disease in Haitian women, Direct Relief—in partnership with Basic Health International (BHI)—supports a cervical cancer screening and training program with long-time Haitian partner, Fondation St. Luc, a division of St. Damien Hospital in Port-au-Prince.

Treating Children with Burkitt's Lymphoma in Africa
Burkitt's lymphoma is an aggressive cancer that accounts for more than half of all childhood cancers in equatorial Africa. It is a rare disease everywhere else. The disease is related to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the first virus to be associated with human cancer, and current research has suggested that malaria may also play a role in the development of Burkitt's lymphoma. Research is underway around the shore of Lake Victoria in East Africa, where the burden of malaria and Burkitt's lymphoma is high.
In 2012, Direct Relief began collaborating with The Burkitt's Lymphoma Fund for Africa (BLFA) to fund and support treatment of children in Africa for Burkitt's lymphoma. Direct Relief collaborates with the BLFA in support of programs in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. In Uganda, Direct Relief is partnering with the Uganda Program on Cancer & Infectious Diseases (UPCID) who aims to treat 300 children with Burkitt's lymphoma in a 2 year period. In Uganda, Burkitt's lymphoma is the most common cancer for children and the average age of a child with the disease is five. A fast-growing tumor often develops in the jaw or abdomen that can interfere with breathing and make it difficult for young patients to feed adequately, leading to malnutrition. Currently, the five-year survival rate in Uganda is less than 40 percent.
"More than 85 percent of these children could be cured for less than $600 a case," said Corey Casper, M.D., M.P.H., associate member of the Hutchinson Center's Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division and co-scientific director of the UCI/Hutchinson Center Cancer Alliance.
In Tanzania, Direct Relief is partnering with the Sota Health Center, a rural health facility supported by the SHED Foundation where many young lives are being transformed by cancer treatment, and in Kenya, Direct Relief works with the Kisumu-based OGRA Foundation to support a comprehensive Burkitt's Program at the Nyanza Provincial General Hospital.

We're approaching the beginning of high school graduation season, which is accompanied by mixed emotions for students and families throughout the region.
There will be tears of joy and sadness - joy of reaching a milestone and sadness that they and their classmates will go their separate ways after years of being together.
In many cases, that beginning will lead students out of the house and out of their parents' daily care for the first time as the young adults pursue their next challenge.
Whether it's next week or in a couple of months, that separation comes with trepidation for both students and their families.
There will be a sense of pride in the achievement of not only the various award winners - of valedictorians, salutorians or honor roll students - but of every student who is standing tall, wearing a cap and gown.
There will be nostalgia, of remembering the days when yellow school buses took today's seniors off to first grade, of the innocence this year's graduates once had, of yesteryear's need for guidance replaced by today's independence.
In some cases, there will be relief, too, as the yearn to learn unfortunately doesn't always start when students are in high school, creating bumps in the road that make just getting to this day a little more challenging.
We salute those students for their perseverance, too.
There is no set formula for a successful career path. Just because a student is No. 1 in the class doesn't guarantee a doctoral degree. Nor is the student who found himself in detention more than a few times destined to failure. There are positive and negative foundations that can be built upon and overcome.
We congratulate the Class of 2013 and wish the graduates well in their future endeavors.

Hey Guys,
Having a closet full of old computer parts, I was wondering if there's
anyway to get one of the older XT keyboards, with the larger round
'standard' keyboard plug (as it was once called), with a newer
computer running Linux. I remember some older keyboards from the
early 90's had DIP switches to select AT or XT, but even older
keyboards, like the ones that came with the IBM 5150, were XT only.
Is there anyway, whether through some type of hardware or possibly
rewiring the connector, to get these old keyboards to work with a
newer computer via PS2 port? Heck, even if someone has hacked a USB
to XT Keyboard connector, that'd be groovy :)
Thanks --

Fans in Charleston were holding their breath as they watched American Idol Thursday night. But they had to hold it until the end of the evening, when Elise Testone, representing Charleston, was eliminated.
Fans had known Testone was at risk after Steven Tyler had criticized her choice of a song Wednesday night.
He told her that she should choose songs that are better known than the Jimi Hendrix Bold As Love, even as he applauded her choice of performing Hendrix.
Negative comments havent been sitting well with voters this year on the popular singing competition. Its been a season of surprises.
This was not the first time Testone had stared at the bottom three this season. She has been there four times before, and professional musician and consultant Jimmy Iovine joked that Testone seems to have a vacation home on the stools.
But each week she has come back for more. She might not have been Americas favorite by the vote counts, but she hung tough each week. More seasoned singers would have caved under the pressure to come up with good performances with 58 million people voting.
If you dont know who Testone is from the local music scene, then it is likely you didnt hear her sing at Fish restaurant in downtown Charleston for the past three years.
She trained for this moment on stage by singing local gigs around town, performing at Awendaw Green, Mercato, Juanita Greenbergs and the Village Tavern.
She honed her skills while working at a pet store, teaching music lessons at Music Unlimited in Mount Pleasant, and singing at night, sometimes two gigs in one night.
As the show progressed, Iovine praised fellow contestant Jessica Sanchezs choices, while saying that Testone was a great singer who makes bad song choices.
And it turned out that Sanchez was safe, while Testone had the long wait through the rest of the night.
Hollie Cavanagh, an 18-year-old Texan, joined Testone in the bottom three, and Misty Hamby, a Facebook fan posted on the Vote for Elise Testone fan page, How in the world is Elise in the bottom 3 AGAIN?
Finally Skylar Laine, an 18-year-old country rocker from Brandon, Miss., joined the two girls in the bottom three, but Ryan Seacrest quickly told her that she was safe. Only Cavanagh and Testone were left on stage to hear their fate.
And then there was one.The daughter of New Jersey residents LuAnne and Victor Testone sang her last song at American Idol with good grace. She went out with Led Zeppelins Whole Lotta Love, chatting with the audience and looking like the professional she has become.

A new milestone was reached Feb. 18 in a longstanding civil rights case brought by African American farmers who suffered discrimination in federal loans and subsidies. Many of the farmers incurred huge debts or lost their land as a result.
In announcing a $1.25 billion settlement in the 1997 lawsuit filed by Timothy Pigford and hundreds of other African American farmers who said the U.S. Department of Agriculture discriminated against them between 1983 and 1997, Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack called on Congress to approve the funding. President Obama had included funds for the settlement in his 2010 budget request but Congress still hasn't approved the 2010 farm bill. The president has renewed the request in his 2011 budget. A federal judge must also okay the settlement.
Vilsack told reporters he would "focus all my time and resources" on assuring the settlement. "The president is prepared to indicate that it's a priority not just for his administration but for the country."
In a statement, Obama praised Vilsack and Attorney General Eric Holder for "bringing these long-ignored claims of African American farmers to a rightful conclusion."
The Clinton administration had earlier paid $1 billion to some 16,000 African American farmers in 1999, but an estimated 70,000 or more farmers missed the filing deadline because they failed to receive the information in time. The National Black Farmers Association and the Congressional Black Caucus fought to reopen the settlement.
Once Congress approves the funds, farmers will be able to apply for up to $50,000 and debt relief through an expedited process, or they can seek damages of up to $250,000 through a more detailed procedure.
The settlement "moves us an important step closer to a just resolution of the Black farmers' cases," National Black Farmers Association president Dr. John Boyd said in a statement. Commending Vilsack and Holder for their leadership, Boyd added, "Next week another Black farmer will lose his farm. Others are at risk of not living to see justice. These farmers have waited for years, and simply cannot wait any longer for final resolution."
Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, said she is "encouraged that today's settlement is an opportunity for Black farmers who were denied the benefit of USDA loans and programs to be made whole." Lee told the Washington Post that "lack of access to loans and other assistance which were provided to other farmers" was partly to blame for a nearly 50 percent drop over the last two decades in the number of farms operated by Black farmers.
The NAACP said it is "fully committed" to working with USDA and the Congress to make sure the funds are appropriated.
In 1980 the North Carolina Black Farmers organization filed a discrimination complaint against the USDA's credit arm, the Farmers Home Association. An investigation by the Office of Equal Opportunity showed discrimination in real estate appraisals of Black owned farmlands, and in the number and amount of emergency loans they received.
The National Black Farmers Association later obtained USDA figures showing that of nearly 23,000 loans the Farmers Home Association granted in 1997, only 2.3 percent went to Black farmers.
In recent weeks the Black farmers have held demonstrations in Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia and South Carolina as well as in Washington, D.C.
Under Obama the Department of Agriculture has hired field investigators for the first time since 1997. Last year it suspended foreclosures for 30 days to check loans for possible discrimination.

Pa. groundhog's handler taking blame for forecast
A prosecutor who lightheartedly filed charges against Punxsutawney Phil for fraudulently "predicting" an early spring said he may consider a pardon now that the handler is taking the blame.
Bill Deeley, president of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle, said the groundhog rightly predicted six more weeks of winter. But Deeley said he mistakenly announced an early spring because he didn't correctly interpret Phil's "groundhog-ese."
Butler County, Ohio, prosecutor Mike Gmoser said he's reconsidering the charges in light of the new evidence and may issue a full pardon.

Stressed workers 'fearful of the sack'
Workers are fearful that they will lose their jobs if they admit to suffering from stress in their employment, it has been claimed. According to Mind's Taking Care of Business campaign, a person's job is the most stressful part of their life in the modern day.
The mental health charity discovered that one-in-five people believe their position would be in jeopardy should they admit to feelings of stress or depression at work.
Findings from the survey showed that 41 per cent of employees are currently stressed or very stressed, with two-in-three workers placed under greater pressure from their managers since the economic downturn.
Indeed, one-third of those polled said they felt stressed as a consequence of extra focus on budget reductions.
Paul Farmer, chief executive of Mind, commented: "Pressure and stress may be part of our working lives, but failing to recognise that everyone has a limit is a mistake that costs businesses billions of pounds a year."
Dr Michael Sinclair, Chartered Psychologist and author of the self-help book Fear and Self-Loathing in the City: A Guide to Keeping Sane in the Square Mile, said: "These findings do not surprise me at all. We have seen a steady increase in the number of employees presenting for psychological treatment due to work-related stress at our London based clinics (Canary Wharf, Liverpool Street and Harley Street) since the onset of the economic downturn."
"It is evident that the demands placed on employees have increased since companies are downsizing and reducing costs. Stigma around mental health problems is rife, as is competition, particularly within the culture of the corporate workplace."
"Employees report feeling scared that should they show any sign of 'weakness, they might be 'the next marched out of the office'."
"They are maintaining a level of 'presenteeism' (working despite feeling unwell), while also working harder and longer hours. There is a definite sense of fear and trepidation amongst employees we meet and their attempts to hide their increasing levels of stress has led to further mental health problems such as severe depression, an array of anxiety disorders and a whole host of chronic somatic complaints."
"More education is needed within the workplace, to start to breakdown the stigma and associated fear of stress and mental health problems. A working culture that does not accept the limitations and fallibility of its employees will undoubtedly breed fear, increase levels of stress and ultimately incur significant health financial costs for businesses."
The Metro recently reported that Childline has witnessed an upturn in the number of students self-harming as a direct result of anxiety over exams.

Another new guided Edit option, that is new in Photoshop Elements 10, is the Picture Stack Effect. This effect creates the illusion of several pictures stacked on top of one another, that together makes one overall image. You have to see it to believe it. Let me show you how it works. I'm beginning this video in the Elements 10 Organizer, and I'm going to scroll down in my Media Browser. To find a file that I think will work well with this effect. And the image that I've chosen to use is this image here, called _MG_9967.JPG. So with this photo highlighted, I'm going to come over here to the Fix tab. Click on the Drop Down menu and choose Guided Photo Edit. When this image is open in the Photoshop Elements Editor, I'm going to scroll down to the category called Photo Play.
And I'm going to click on the Picture Stack Effect to make that option active. The first thing that's going to show up here is this preview of what the image looks like. And it gives you an idea of how this effect is going to work, because if you hover over the image, it shows you the before. And then when you move over it'll show you what it's going to look like with the Picture stack effect applied. So the first thing I need to do is choose how many overall pictures I want to use to create this effect.
Now I'm going to use four images in this particular case, or four pictures I should say. And you have the choice between four, eight, and 12. So I'm going to click on four and Photoshop Elements Editor is going to do the work for me. And it's essentially going to break down this image into four separate photos. Now, the next step is to simply choose, the width of the border. So, I can go with small which is what's currently being used.
Click on Medium, it's going to add a little bit thicker border, and Large is going to add an even bigger border. So I think I like the way the Large border looks here. And then down at the bottom, the third option is for me to choose what color I want to use for the background. Now, right now, it's using the solid black color for the background. But what I'm going to do is click on the Solid Color option. I can give the layer a name, so I'm going to call this Background Color, and I'll click Okay. And now it gives me the option of what color I'd like to use for the background. I can use the color picker here, but what I can also do is actually move my cursor over the image itself.
And I can just click on an area to pick up the color from one of these photos. When I click Okay, that will apply that color to the background. And once I'm happy with the overall appearance of the image, I'm going to go ahead and click Done. And now I have my Picture Stack Effect applied as desired. I'm going to click on the X to close this image and it asks me if I want to save this image before I close it. So I'm going to click Save, I'm going to give this a name. Now, I want to name this appropriately, so instead of Just _Edited.
I'm going to call this Picture_Stack. And I am going to make sure I include this in the Elements Organizer so that I can see it right away. I'm going to include the layers that have been created by this effect. And I also want to save this, version in a version set with the original. So I'm going to go ahead and click the Save button. That's going to save this document and it's going to close it, returning me to the Elements 10 Organizer. And you'll see when it returns to the Organizer, that this image now, is a version set.
And if I click the arrow, we can see that here's my original, untouched, unaltered. And here's the version that I composed with the Picture Stack Effect. As you can see, the Picture Stack Effect takes an everyday photo, and turns it into a creative masterpiece. Try it out on your own photos. And I think you'll find that Picture Stack Effect will become one of your favorite guided edit options within Photoshop Elements 10.

We have an early candidate for dumbest article of 2012.
Denver columnist and butt-hurt Avs fan Adrian Dater ripped Penguin fans after they invaded, conquered, and thoroughly embarrassed Avs fans in the Pepsi Center Saturday night.
From Dater's blog on the denverpost.com:
First off, I never knew there were so many people from Pittsburgh who lived in Denver. Wow, for all the love they showed their Penguins tonight, you'd think they would never have left their beloved city in the first place. But there they where in their Stub-Hubbed glory tonight, sitting in the lower bowls of the Pepsi Center, cheering nonstop for the Penguins in their romp over the suddenly awful Avs again.
"Stub-Hubbed glory" is a direct shot to who here?
(One thing I'll never ever do again: wear jerseys of my Boston teams in a foreign arena. Not because I would be afraid of being told off, but because I've finally come to realize after nights like tonight: that you look foolish. You look dorkish jumping up and down for a team whose city you don't live in anymore, high-fiving all your phony new friends in similar jerseys around you. I think I finally agree with those who say: If you love your city and team so much, why do so many hundreds of you live in Denver or wherever? I think it's kind of a big, sad overcompensating plea for attention, and I used to fall into that group too; you want so much for people to think "Hey, I'm from PITTSBURGH (or Detroit, or Boston or New York or wherever), that I'm going to act like every goal we score just won us the Stanley Cup and I'm going to lord it over you poor saplings from Denver – even though we live in your city now." I finally realize now how annoying Red Sox fans are.)
Wow. wow. wow. Sounds like Pens fans got into his head. Honestly we're beyond proud. So great. He tries to blame the Pens fans at this game for the team almost leaving Pittsburgh. Yes, he blamed people living in Colorado.
Isn't one of the best things about being a sports fan going into an opposing arena and banding together? In fact, it may be the greatest thing. And a close second is watching your fellow fans, thousands of mile away, representing. Dorkish? No. Foolish. No.
Awesome? Yesssssss.
Dater said that it is a "sad" plea for attention. Why? Because people that no longer live in the Pittsburgh area want to feel at home again? Get a grip. Dater may just be upset that he covers Denver sports for a living.
We salute the Penguin fans that made the effort to go the Colorado game, as well as all other road games. It is a show of solidarity and loyalty. We don't have pride in anything, but watching Pens fan celebrating after every goal in Colorado is what this shit is all about.
If that ever changes, we're all dead.
Go Pens.

Do we see a spate of bombings the next day celebrating jihad - over Iraqi shoppers - to show Obama - that his democratic Iraq - is really the Islamic Republic of Iraq?
I noticed in this BBC article - although they mention the punishment for leaving Islam in Saudi Arabia is death - they did not mention the way Egypt conducts business with its apostates - a life of torture and imprisonment - but at least they let them live! No right to change your religion away from Islam - and the forcible conversion of family members - once the father has converted (usually for convenience - when trying to obtain a divorce - the Coptic Church has no such - I divorce you, I divorce you - quick fix) insuring that Muslims numbers increase - and every last Copt - is at last choked off and transcends into an Arabian (most of them - the family men and women kind as the BBC puts it).
As for western fears about Muslims gaining control of a democracy - one need just look at the Islamic world - and such worries will be confirmed. Muslims, are distressed most - it seems - that when one fears Islam - then they don't join it. Dashing their plans - to extend their retrogressive Islamic fiefdoms - out over - into the west. They want us to accept that - subjugating religious minorities is tolerance - and that ownership of women is women's liberation - that their totalitarian control over their people upholds and respects individual rights and freedoms - and in the name not defaming a religion - above all else - there plenty of those in the west who are willing to help us along the path - to this God delusion.
Barack Obama travels to the Middle East next week for an event of huge importance to him and his presidency. Officials promised that early on, he would travel to a Muslim nation and make a speech redefining US relations with Islam. It could be a turning point, says BBC North America editor Justin Webb.
I cannot remember where I was - it is a blur now, the election - but somewhere out in the middle states, the "flyover states" they call them, an incident occurred which has direct relevance to Thursday's presidential speech.
The Republican candidate John McCain was holding a cosy town hall chat during which supporters were primed to throw wicked questions - "Why are you so wonderful? Why is your health plan so superior?" etc.
On this occasion a woman made her way to the stage and sat just inches from the candidate. She did not have a question, she had a statement.
Barack Obama, she said, is a danger to America - he is an Arab. Mr McCain, who has a short temper at the best of times, lunged at her.
Fundamental prejudice
I can still see the move as the audience froze in horror. He grabbed the microphone off her and then uttered these immortal words: "No Ma'am, he is a family man!"
Of course the whole of sophisticated America laughed - not just at the woman but at Mr McCain as well, who had intended to rebuke his supporter but in fact had rather given wings to her fundamental prejudice that Arabs (Muslims is what she meant) are not family men and women.
That is a strand of American thinking about the Muslim world, it is undeniable. Out in Nowhereville they do not have a high opinion of the culture of Islam. Part of it is inspired by America's own intense religious belief.
'My God is bigger'
President Bush referred at one stage to the Iraq conflict as a "crusade". He quickly withdrew that description but it was a useful reminder that American Protestants do not shrink from violent conflict.
In one of the more bizarre episodes of the Iraq debacle it was reported that the Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, had his intelligence briefs for President Bush plastered with biblical verses: "Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter" etc.
One of Mr Rumsfeld's most senior generals was on record as saying that, during a previous battle with a Muslim warlord in Somalia, he knew he would win because his God was bigger than the warlord's!
Lt-Gen William Boykin also believed that the 9/11 attacks on the US came because America was a Christian nation. In other words he embraced, and presumably still does, the idea that Islam and Christianity are at war.
Going too far?
All of this Mr Obama will address in Cairo on Thursday.
" Again the headlines from this speech will be about the outreach "
I doubt Mr Boykin will get a mention, but the simplistic attitudes will. In effect, Mr Obama will tell the Muslim world: "We accept that you are family men [and women]."
And yet. There is a danger here. A danger that is being pointed out with ever increasing vigour by domestic critics of the president, a danger that he goes too far.
Go to Wichita, Kansas, ground zero of Nowhereville and the heartland of American Evangelism, fizzing with creationists and crusaders, and what do you find? A mosque.
Here in the centre of the nation, the Kansas tornado belt, Dorothy's home in the Wizard of Oz, a gentle acceptance of religious pluralism. A day-to-day rubbing along.
Such pluralism can be found in parts of the Muslim world of course, but is absent in much of it. Mr Obama visits Saudi Arabia next week where apostasy is punishable by death.
Then Egypt, for the big speech, where a recent culling of pigs - swine flu was the excuse - was widely believed to be an attack on the Coptic Christians who tended them.
And it is not just religious freedom. Egypt is a politically repressive nation where a democracy movement flourished briefly with support from the Bush White House, but has now been cut loose by Mr Obama and his secretary of state, Mrs Clinton, who said recently that she considered Egypt's autocratic leader, President Mubarak, to be a family friend.
Mr Obama's critics ask: "What's wrong with freedom, with democracy, with pluralism and the rule of law? Why should we go to Cairo (of all places) and apologise for these things?"
Challenge to Muslims
Of course he is aware of that, and I expect this speech to be thoughtfully weighted. There will be an acceptance that the "family man problem", as we might term it, must be addressed: America needs to respect Islamic culture.
But I suspect as well that there will be a challenge to Muslims in the speech, a passage that says you, too, have your share of work to do if this relationship is to change for the better.
He did it in Europe when he told French youngsters that it was time to stop sneering at America. They heard him in silence and the passage did not make news.
Again the headlines from this speech will be about the outreach but it seems to me the real story is the reaction.
Change has come to America but for it to work, others need to notice and bring it to their worlds as well.

Greensboro, NC-- School is out for the summer, but a Guilford County middle school teacher is making national headlines.
Nicole Penn, a teacher at Kiser Middle in Greensboro was recognized as one of three 2013 DiscoverE Educators in the country by the National Engineers Week Foundation, according to a news release from the school system.
Penn teaches technology and leads an active after-school Technology Student Association (TSA) that helps students apply engineering concepts to real-world projects. She and some of her students also rebuild computers on Saturdays through Handy Capable Network to be given to families in need.
As a teacher, Penn said her role is not necessarily teaching students to become engineers but to help them learn problem-solving, design and decision-making skills they can use throughout their careers.
Penn and her students will travel to the national TSA competition on Orlando, FL, on June 28.
The DiscoverE Educator Awards are designed to recognize teachers who are helping their students discover and develop a passion for engineering. The winners receive $2,000, a 3M digital projector and a 3M gift pack of classroom supplies. Penn was nominated by Chris Spencer, an engineer with the City of Greensboro, who mentors the students she teaches.

quote: While many will say, "It does not matter. One, four or four thousand is the same. Killing *any* American Citizen is unacceptable without due process.", the distinction should still be noted.
quote: Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan, who headed a two-judge bench that heard the petitions, ruled the drone strikes were illegal, inhumane and a violation of the UN charter on human rights. The court said the strikes must be declared a war crime as they killed innocent people. The case was filed last year by the Foundation for Fundamental Rights, a legal charity based in Islamabad, on behalf of the families of victims killed in a 17 March 2011 strike on a tribal jirga. The jirga, a traditional community dispute resolution mechanism, had been called to settle a chromite mining dispute in Datta Khel, North Waziristan. This strike killed more than 50 tribal elders, including a number of government officials. There was strong condemnation of this attack by all quarters in Pakistan including the federal government and Pakistan military....Clive Stafford Smith of the London-based group Reprieve, which has supported the case, said: "Today's momentous decision by the Peshawar High Court shines the first rays of accountability onto the CIA's secret drone war."He added: "For the innocent people killed by U.S. drone strikes, it marks the first time they have been officially acknowledged for who they truly are - civilian victims of American war crimes."

Why can't I register for a Math Class on WyoWeb?
Once early registration ends, usually two weeks prior to the start of classes, math courses are closed for registration via WyoWeb. This allows prerequisites for all early registrants to be verified. If you do not meet the prerequisite requirements for the course you will receive a notice of Administrative drop via your UW email account. All math course registration after this date, including section changes, must be done via the Math Registration Request Form. WyoWeb will redirect you to this form or you can access the form via the link below to begin the registration process.
What I should know about the Registration Request Form?
Each form received is time stamped and will be processed in the order it is received. Prerequisites, schedule conflicts and account holds are verified prior to processing each request to ensure enrollment eligibility. You will be notified, via your UW email address when your request has been processed or if there is additional information needed in order to process your request.
- BE PATIENT - It may take up to 3 business days to process your request. We understand it is important to you and we are working to make it happen. There is no need to submit the request multiple times, each form is processed in the order it is received according to the time stamp.
- CHECK your UW email - We will notify you once we have processed your request. If we cannot fulfill your request or need additional information or need to make other requests or suggestions we will contact you via your email. The sooner you reply the sooner your request can be completed.
- ATTEND - You should plan to attend the course you are requesting to be enrolled in while waiting for your email confirmation of enrollment, if appropriate.
Why Did I Get Dropped? - See a List of reasons for administrative drop.
Administrative drop is a tool used by the department to remove a student from enrolled status in a specific course. The drop notice will be proceeded by a warning, to the student's UW email account, informing the student of the risk and acceptable resolutions to the problem. If the student acts, timely, to resolve the risk then the drop is avoided, however if the warning is not responded to or the student is unable to comply with the resolution the student will receive an administrative drop notice.
The two (2) most common reason for administrative drop are related to prerequisite requirements. They are identified below along with some pro-active resolutions to prevent this problem before it occurs:
Transfer Student: Transcripts are used to verify that a student has taken an eligible prerequisite. If there has been a delay in receiving your transcripts or if they have not been added to your student record prior to registration, this would cause a prerequisite error to occur.
Incoming transfer students can avoid this error by submitting an unofficial copy of their transcripts to the mathematics department located in Ross Hall room 202 or by email to email@example.com. Please be sure your W# and Name appear on the document or on your email to ensure proper routing.
Math Placement Exam: The math placement exam score can act as a prerequisite for math courses. The score you receive on the exam relates directly to the prerequisite necessary for a specific math course. Please refer to page 4 of the Math Placement Information brochure for detailed information.
If your qualifying ACT or SAT score is more than 3 years old, or your Math Placement Exam score is more than 1 year old, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO TAKE A MATH PLACEMENT EXAM to enroll in all math courses above level 0900, unless you have a qualifying prerequisite math course already on your transcript. This test may also re-taken to improve your placement score.
DON'T WAIT - TAKE YOUR MATH PLACEMENT EXAM - Get online via your WyoWeb checklist, if you have not taken the UW-Online exam before or schedule an appointment to take proctored version in the math department by contacting Leslie Roan at 307-766-4221 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

GULF SHORES, Alabama -- Looking back at past years of the Hangout Music Festival, such as 2011 that saw nearly 200 arrests, the event's 2014 edition may go down as the most tame even with its largest crowd ever.
Over the course of the four-day festival, which wrapped up Sunday, Gulf Shores police arrested 32 individuals in and around the site, according to spokesman Cpl. Josh Coleman.
In addition to the city arrests, the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office charged 33 individuals in the venue, including six drug task force cases, said Maj. Anthony Lowery.
In looking at the expanded crowd of 40,000 and the limited number of arrests, Sheriff Huey "Hoss" Mack said the event turned out well with virtually no violent situations, which hasn't always been the case.
"In the past we've had to tase a few individuals that resisted arrest and we had none of that this time," Mack said of his deputies that assisted Gulf Shores police and other law enforcement agencies inside the festival. "I think it was a well-mannered crowd overall."
Most of the Sheriff's Office arrests were related to drugs and alcohol consumption, Mack said.
"We had one felony arrest," he said. "An individual that was actually caught outside the venue even though he was going to the venue that had some molly, which is another one of these uncontrolled chemical substances that's out on the street. There was that and we did see some of the synthetic marijuana."
Overall charges for the Gulf Shores police department's 32 arrests are as follows:
- 8 -- unlawful possession of a controlled substance
- 2 -- unlawful distribution of a controlled substance
- 6 -- possession of marijuana
- 2 -- possession of drug paraphernalia
- 1 -- disorderly conduct
- 12 -- public intoxication
- 1 -- reckless endangerment
- 7 -- doing business without a license
- 2 -- minor in possession of alcohol
- 1 -- criminal trespassing
In addition to 32 arrests in and around the festival site, Gulf Shores police also charged 19 individuals in other areas of the city that may or may not be attributed to event. Those charges are as follows:
- 1 -- possession of marijuana
- 2 -- possession of drug paraphernalia
- 1 -- domestic violence
- 1 -- disorderly conduct
- 8 -- public intoxication
- 3 -- theft
While the arrests were down, emergency medical crews saw an uptick in patients, mostly for dehydration-related ailments, according to Gulf Shores Fire-Rescue Battalion Chief Bo Smith.
Smith said the increase was expected since the festival was sold out at 40,000 and 2013 only had an estimated 27,000 concert-goers.
At the triage tent, manned by volunteer doctors and nurses from South Baldwin Regional Medical Center as well as students from Faulkner State Community College, emergency medical crews saw 204 patients with 14 transports to the hospital in Foley.
"There was nothing real major at all," Smith said. "Mostly dehydration."
While the emergency visits were up from the 113 patients and 10 transports seen in 2013, the first-aid assists at various tents throughout the festival were down from 673 in 2013 to 407 this year.
Smith, who coordinates the festival's medical response operations, said the low first-aid numbers are likely attributed to visibility issues with the tents and the city will work to improve that with the organizers next year.
"I would express my extreme gratitude for South Baldwin and for Faulkner State, and certainly from our own people from within the city," Smith said. "From the fire department to police department to public works. Everybody works very well together and you know it makes me very proud to be a part of something like that."
With the festival officially over, crews hustled overnight to make sure the intersection of the beach highway and Ala. 59 was open by 6 a.m. And reports from those on the road Friday morning showed the traffic was heavy with the normal commute between Foley and Gulf Shores taking as long as an hour.
"There is a tremendous amount of traffic flowing out of the beach area right now," city spokesman Grant Brown said in an interview late Monday morning. "Highway 59 is just absolutely loaded with people heading north. It's going to be an impactful day from here all the way to Interstate 10 and 65."
The intersection was close briefly again at 3 p.m. for festival crews but all roads returned to normal traffic flows about 5:30 p.m.
While traffic is back to normal, the public beach is expected to be closed until Thursday.
Brown said the festival was a success overall, especially since the crowd cap was boosted to 40,000 for the first time. The crowd control scheduling with dual headliners on Friday and Saturday as well as the reconfiguration of the Boom Boom Tent helped control the larger capacity.
"It was a very successful event," Brown said. "Very low numbers and we're very happy with the lack of any significant medical or law enforcement issues. The security firm that handled the events security did a fantastic job. The quality of the different companies that were put to together for this were excellent. Just overall very good compliments to the festival and very good comments from the patrons."
In an interview with AL.com at the festival Sunday, Mayor Robert Craft said the expanded crowd pushed the city infrastructure to the limit, meaning with 40,000 concert-goers the city reached critical mass in terms of transportation, traffic and other logistics.
"The venue can handle it, our city can't," Craft had said. "It's as big as it can be, it won't get any bigger.
"I'm glad we did what we did, but we're maxed out."
The mayor said he supported a request by festival promoter Shaul Zislin to extend the festival's permit and partnership with the city, which expires in 2015, for another five years.
The council was expected to discuss the issue during Monday's work session but that has been postponed to June 2.(AL.com reporter Mike Dumas contributed to this report.)

Evangelist Billy Graham and his son Franklin blanketed the Dominican Republic with the gospel this month.
Christians invited friends and neighbors to watch the Graham television specials for the "My Hope" campaign in more than 40,000 homes.
"My Hope" campaign director Greg Matthews said the response was unusually strong in Dominican cities.
"City people are more rushed, more busy. The churches have more things going. And often we don't see the same kind of enthusiasm in the cities," he said.
"But in Santo Domingo, literally on Friday, Saturday night when I was walking down a block to go to a home, I walked past three or four homes that had groups of people in them, just on that block, watching this program," he said.
The next "My Hope" campaign will take place in Puerto Rico. After that, Matthews said the Graham team will be taking the TV specials to Africa.

Maybe your body is trying to regulate CO2 to correct the pH of your blood?
I might be a strange case here but several times now I've exceeded 1lbs of meat in one meal and a few minutes later, I feel like I'm taking in large amounts of oxygen via my nostrils. It's a similar feeling I had when I used to take NO2 (nitric oxide supplement) where it seemed like every inhale felt cooler and with more volume (sinuses cleared up too?)
After the first time it happened, I did some experimenting where I would eat the same meal at the same time but only changed the amount of meat. I ate the same vegetables every time. I did a test with 1/2 pound of hamburger (1 patty) then went to 2 patties (a little over a pound). I repeated the same protocol using ribeye, flat iron steak and at one point free range chicken with skin. In all instances it produced the same results. I'm not sure if that's making any sense but I was wondering if anyone experienced similar? Any ideas what might be causing it?

We don't even know if that's what is happening. And even if it is, no. Not really bad. Just a regulation mechanism. But wait for more answers, I have a feeling there's more to this.
I would think that TEF make you're metabolism go up, and you need to breath more. Do you feel warm?
not the same, but similar. I definitely get an adrenaline rush after enjoying a good piece of beef. Increased air flow, a buzz... I feel like I could run the Boston Marathon after I down a steak!

To be fair BCB said better cultural position not better culture. It is bullshit that I need to feel better about it though. I was born into my skin color the same as anyone else and I have no more control over it or my cultural position than anyone else. I should not feel bad or need to feel guilty about it anymore than someone else would need to feel inferior over theirs. Life is where you finish not where you begin.

text: Oral history is a method of preserving the unwritten past through the narrated recollections of an individual. Oral histories are not merely conversations with people recorded on some medium for posterity; oral histories are structured interviews that are designed with specific goals in mind, whether to understand the role that an individual played in a historic event or a specific culture, or to document better the history of, for example, a scientific object or technique or a piece of legislation. Participants in this workshop will discover the fundamental concepts of developing an oral history project and the interview process. By the end of the workshop, participants will know about subject selection, interview preparation, equipment usage, and how to conduct interviews. Additionally, they will be able to explain the principles of oral history processing and preservation. Should time permit, attendees may be able to conduct a mock interviewee for practice

AUSTIN - Members of an anti-gay church would be barred from protesting funerals under a bill the Texas House approved Friday.
The bill would make it a Class B misdemeanor to protest within 500 feet of the site of a funeral service from one hour before to one hour after a site is used for a service.
The Senate planned to vote on the bill later Friday.
The measure sponsored by state Rep. Brian McCall does not specifically mention the protests of Westboro Baptist Church, a self-described church with no denominational ties that claims that God is killing U.S. soldiers who fight for a country that tolerates homosexuality.
But the bill was designed with them in mind, the bill's author said.
"The scars that are created to the families by this sort of behavior are scars that will not heal cleanly, and we can do something about it," said McCall, a Republican from Plano.
Governors in Oklahoma and Iowa have signed legislation making such protests illegal.
The Legislature also was moving forward on a number of other bills Friday, including ones involving hurricane damage, a $1 billion, near-zero emissions coal-powered plant and a Texas A&M University System pharmacy school.
Gov. Rick Perry expanded the agenda of the 30-day special session on school finance after lawmakers made significant progress toward answering a Texas Supreme Court ruling that declared the current funding system unconstitutional.
The court gave lawmakers until June 1 to devise a new plan.
