We began our ministry in Thailand in 1970, when the Child Sponsorship Program was started. In 2002 the Leadership Development Program began, and the Child Survival Program followed in 2007.
After 40 years of ministry in Thailand, our ministry is now well known by the majority of evangelical churches in the country.
Country Director of Thailand
Sanya Ladaphongpattana joined our ministry in Thailand as a Program Coordinator and was later appointed Country Director.
Prior to coming to our ministy, he was a lecturer at Bangkok Institute of Theology and taught Sociology of Religion; he also served at many local churches and ministries.
Sanya holds a Masters of Comparative Religion from Mahidol University.
He also studied church management, missions and social studies at Selly Oak in the United Kingdom, and community development at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Implementing Church Partners
Implementing Church Partners are local churches in Thailand with whom we work to deliver child development and ministry in the field.
- Spiritual Climate in Thailand
The main religion in Thailand is Buddhism. Generally there is no persecution of Christians, and people are free to engage in any sort of religious activity. However, some parents will not accept their child becoming a Christian.
Many parents forbid their children to go to church and sometimes ask the staff to remove their children from the child development center.
A recent study found that there are more than 4,000 Protestant churches and more than 300,000 Christians in Thailand. The number of evangelical Christians is growing, specifically among tribal people. However, church attendance is declining among young people. Also, many church leaders are not strongly committed to the church.
- Unique Challenges in Thailand
Local churches are quite small (congregations average 60 to 70 members), so it is difficult to grow in terms of the size of our child development centers. There are needy children in areas of the country that do not have any local churches.
The government provides free education, access to health services, and early childhood intervention services. As a result, we are sometimes faced with a limited number of children available, because families are already taking advantage of government services and do not have as much of a need for our program.
Many homeless, abused and trafficked children in Thailand need to be reached. We want to start initiatives for these children, but it is difficult.
Buddhist culture and practices are deeply rooted in Thai society. This can be challenging for implementing a program that teaches Christian values. Some parents even prohibit their children from enrolling in the program.
- Contributions
Implementing Church Partners contribute administrative support, construction equipment and volunteer time.
- Church-to-Church
There are no formal church-to-church partnerships at this time. However, there is one sponsoring church in Australia that has visited an Implementing Church Partner in Thailand.
After their visit, they supported a Complementary Interventions project to obtain a water tank filter, and they sponsor over 30 children from that church partner.
- Partner Development Activities
We develop our partners through a variety of training programs. A leadership summit for pastors or committee chairs is held annually as well as an emerging young leader program. We also offer our partners the opportunity to visit child development centers that have implemented our program well.
Child Survival Program
- Caregiver Literacy
We offer literacy classes two to three times per month where mothers learn the alphabet and basic math. Volunteer tutors help those who are unable to keep up in class. The tutors help the mothers one-on-one to ensure they are learning.
- Income-Generating Skills
We offer cooking, weaving, embroidery, dessert making and local handicraft making. These classes are offered two to three times per quarter. The child development center provides materials needed such as needle and thread for weaving, beads and local material for embroidery and ingredients for cooking.
- Health Care
Public health centers and hospitals conduct health screenings and provide free prenatal care, delivery and immunizations for mothers who are Thai citizens. Our ministry pays for these services for beneficiaries who are not Thai citizens. However, pregnant mothers in Thailand often do not seek prenatal care because they are embarrassed to go to the doctor.
Child Survival Program staff members try to mitigate this by encouraging these young mothers to seek prenatal care and by training them on safe labor techniques and safe baby care.
- Nutritional Support
Supplementary food is provided for beneficiaries who are malnourished or who do not have enough money to buy sufficient food. Child Survival Program Specialists track the weight and height of all the children.
Children who are below average physically receive additional food such as eggs, powdered milk and meat. If a doctor suggests special food for a child, the Child Survival Program will provide the food.
- Involvement of Fathers
We make an effort to build a relationship with fathers during home visits. Also, fathers are invited to special events such as Christmas parties, family camps, etc.
- Transition out of the Child Survival Program
To prepare children to transition out of the Child Survival Program and into the Child Sponsorship Program, we ensure that they possess certain skills, such as the ability to eat and go to the bathroom on their own and read simple words.
To transition the mothers into the Child Sponsorship Program, we provide literacy classes and income-generating activities.
Our goal is that every mother has at least one income-generating skill. We also involve the mothers in activities such as Bible study, Christian fellowship, and the practice of spiritual disciplines. We ensure that every mother has heard the gospel.
- Areas of Expansion for the Child Survival Program
We would like to expand into the Thai-Burma border area and into the high mountain rural areas. These areas have many mothers and children who live in poverty and have no education, poor hygiene, and no access to sanitary delivery of their babies.
Most of these mothers are not Thai citizens, so they cannot receive services at the public health centers. As a result, these mothers are at a high risk for fatal diseases and many children do not reach the age of five.
Child Development Through Sponsorship
Your sponsorship of a child in Thailand provides a variety of benefits.
Children go to school from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. weekdays, so we conduct project activities on weekends.
- Weekly Meetings:
- 3 to 5 year olds: 7 to 8 hours a week, mainly on Saturday
- 6 to 8 year olds: 6 to 7 hours a week, mainly on Saturday
- 9 to 11 year olds: 6 to 7 hours a week, mainly on Saturday and Sunday
- 12 to 14 year olds: 4 hours a week, mainly on Saturday and Sunday
- 15 to 18 year olds: 4 hours a week, mainly on Saturday and Sunday
- 19 +: 4 hours a week, mainly on Saturday and Sunday
- Nutritional Support
Each child receives lunch which consists of rice, vegetables and meat at the child development center every Saturday. Milk is provided for young children, and children who are malnourished receive additional food to take home with them, such as rice, eggs, canned fish and milk.
We feed the children every week, because many parents are working on the weekends and not available to prepare meals for their children.
Also, some families cannot afford to buy meat; the typical meal for the children at home consists of rice, vegetables and chili paste. We like to ensure that the children receive a nutritious meal every week.
- Vaccinations
The Thai government provides routine vaccinations free of charge for all children who are Thai citizens at the public health centers or hospitals.
There are alternative vaccines for diseases that are preventable, but these vaccines are not high priority. They are expensive and not paid for by the Thai government.
Our ministry will cover the cost of these alternative vaccines for children who have not already received them.
- Specialty Curriculum
We use language and culture curriculum as well as a Life Skills curriculum for children over the age of 12.
- Extracurricular Activities or Community Service
We offer extracurricular activities such as sports and music as well as community service opportunities such as anti-drug campaigns. These activities are generally held during school holidays.
- Vocational Activities
We provide vocational training which includes computer lessons, baking, mechanics, agriculture, animal farming and local handicrafts such as weaving. Camps for art, music, sports and evangelism are held once a year.
We make an effort to provide multiple activities for adolescents so they might discover their own gifts and skills as well as earn an income. Also, we hope that offering activities at the Implementing Church Partner will prevent them from becoming involved in drug addiction, gangs or sexual problems.
Some Child Sponsorship Program graduates will work at the child development center when they graduate. The development center staff also provides graduates with information on job opportunities.
- Child Sponsorship Program Alumni Activities
We are in the process of collecting information from all sponsorship program graduates and developing an alumni database. Some alumni groups have helped their former development centers by providing feedback and advice to the center committee and staff, contributing to the programs, and helping with building projects.
- Parent Involvement
We offer the following activities annually: parenting class, meetings to inform parents how their children are doing at the development center, and special events such as Family Camp, Mother's Day and Father's Day.
In addition, child development center staff members visit the children's homes every three months where they meet the parents and make an effort to build a relationship with them.
- Areas of expansion for the Child Sponsorship Program
We would like to expand in the north around the Thai-Burma border and northeast regions of Thailand. These provinces are the neediest and score the lowest on the Thailand Human Development report.
There are 40 indicators on the report that cover areas such as health, education, employment, income and living environment among others.
Leadership Development Program
- Universities Attended
Most Leadership Development Program students attend government universities, although those who have chosen to study theology attend a Christian university or seminary.
- Location of Universities
Most students study at universities located in northern Thailand.
- Working Students
Some students work as tutors in the evenings and on weekends, others work on-call at hotels as waiters and waitresses. Some work as carpenters, and others work as merchants selling goods during their summer break.
The primary reason students work is to help support their families. It also helps them gain valuable experience and develop financial stewardship skills.
The students also develop a greater appreciation for their sponsors, because they know they would not be able to work hard enough and earn enough to pay their own tuition.
- Service Opportunities
Many students volunteer at their churches as Sunday school teachers, youth group leaders or worship team participants. Others participate at their universities in service activities such as tree planting and home construction.
Some Leadership Development Program students work at camps during school breaks, and others serve at the child development centers.
- Leadership Development Program Meetings
A larger Leadership Development Program group meets five times per year. School breaks are held in December, October and March through May. During those breaks, students participate in a work camp for at least five days where they volunteer at child development centers located in remote areas of Thailand.
These students do various activities such as building latrines, painting classrooms, making repairs, tutoring children, and teaching parents about financial stewardship.
At the beginning of May, there is an annual training camp for all the students. They cover Leadership Development Program curriculum topics, take part in worship, and hear pastors share their experiences.
After training, students spend time together getting to know one another and building relationships. Lastly, all students are invited to attend the Leadership Development Program graduation ceremony. Many of the students help our staff prepare for the ceremony.
- Specialty Curriculum
We offer two special courses to the students. The first is "God's Calling." The objective of this course is to help students better understand God's calling in their lives and to guide them in responding to their calling.
The second course we offer is "Christian Inner Healing," because most of these students come from families that are verbally or physically abusive.
Also, some families are Buddhist and reject their children when they become believers. As a result, many students carry bitterness and hurt which are obstacles to becoming leaders in their communities. The objective of this course is to enable students to understand their hurts and allow God to heal them.
- Mentors
We try to find mentors for students who study in the same city as their former child development center. For those who are now studying in a different city as their former development center, the students need to find mentors on their own. If they need assistance, our Leadership Development Program Specialist offers advice.
- Career Placement Assistance
If a student desires to work in ministry or some Christian field, the Leadership Development Program Specialist contacts churches and Christian organizations on behalf of that student.
- Alumni Group
The Leadership Development Program alumni group has been in existence for three years. Some of their activities include mentoring students, tutoring students, providing financial support for Leadership Development Program activities, helping with the training camp, and giving orientation to new students.
Complementary Interventions
Our core child sponsorship program, while comprehensive, does not address all obstacles to a child's healthy development. The Complementary Interventions program was created to work with our holistic child development model to provide additional services, such as our AIDS Initiative, Bibles for all children, disaster relief and water projects.
Some of the Complementary Interventions we offer in Thailand are:
- Water
The goal of our water project in Thailand is to address the problem of water contamination and a limited supply of clean water resources in north and northeast Thailand.
Many children and people in the communities have high rates of waterborne diseases such as diarrhea.
- Latrines
The goal of the latrine project in Thailand is to provide an adequate number of latrines for children when they come to the child development center.
- Resource Centers
The goal of our resource centers in Thailand is to provide learning materials such as books, computers, internet access and playgrounds.
- Infrastructure
The goal of infrastructure projects in Thailand is to improve child development center facilities, so they will be safer and provide a healthier environment for the children.
Highly Vulnerable Children
Most of our Highly Vulnerable Children needs in Thailand fall into the category of "care reinforcement." We plan to provide activities such as micro-enterprise and income-generating projects for children and their caregivers.

By Pure Matters
Welcome to a new segment we like to call "Fad or Fabulous?" where we weigh in on a new trend in health and fitness and give it our measure of value–and determine whether it's trending now or here to stay.
In our first segment of Fad or Fabulous, we'll look at boutique races that are popping up faster than Chipotle locations. We all know and love the national marathons (credit to New York and Boston Marathoners), and many of us have participated in local 10ks (6.21 miles) and 5ks (3.1 miles) to support great causes.
However, today we're talking about a trend in races that make the traditional runner very excited: boutique races. These new events are themed; picture Halloween meets exercise. These new up-and-coming races are packed with fun and high in demand, proven by the waiting list and packet pick-up lines on race day.
Here is a sampling of new national theme races that are gaining popularity:
The Color Run: Dubbed "the Happiest Race on Earth," participating in this is nothing but joy. Spoken from experience, from start to finish, runners have a good time. Participants can't be afraid to get dirty because this run is the opposite of a White Party. Sporting white shirts, runners follow a 5k trail, being pelted along the way by staff with colored powder. At the end, racers look like they've stumbled out of a paintball game. The morning starts by picking up race packets, where everyone receives a race number, a Color Run T-shirt, sweat band, temporary tattoo of the run logo and packet of "color." Once they've fully branded themselves, runners head to the starting area where a caffeinated MC pumps the crowd up with music. The race starts, and everyone runs to the first color station, being sprayed with colored cornstarch. Four stations later, everyone is a tied-died masterpiece as they cross the finish line. To end the day, participants head over to an outdoor party with a live dj, where dancing and silliness ensue. The BEST part of the day is when the DJ organizes everyone to open their color packets and let their "color" fly, as a cloud of color engulfs the dance floor. If you weren't colored before, you will be after the mosh pit. A highly recommended experience!
Awesome 80s Run: It looks like every child of the 80s should partake in this event! "Where neon hits the road" is the slogan of this race where you can run a 5 or 10k, sporting 80s attire including neon, scrunchies, side ponytails, slouchy socks and high top sneakers. Aside from medals for fasted times, teams can win prizes for "most awesome team name" and "raddest costumes." Try to finish first because the man and woman who cross the finish line first receive a special cassette-tape medal! After finishing the race in style, participants can get into the groove with an 80s cover band and pose for pictures with the Back to the Future DeLorean. Totally tubular!
Run For Your Lives Zombie 5k: Perfect for Halloween season, this race is a horror movie come to life. Runners navigate a 5k race with not only obstacles to get past, but avoiding Zombies and other scary creatures that will be on the chase. If the exercise doesn't get your heart racing, the man in costume running after you certainly will! Runners are encouraged to dress up as creatures of the night as well, many of whom sport fake blood and pale faces. Once you cross the finish line, runners celebrate their escape from danger with live music, food and more. Anyone who wants to practice for the zombie apocalypse should sign up.
Electric Run: This race is set apart from the others in two ways. First of all, it's held at night. Secondly, it is synonymous with a rave with glowsticks and all things neon. If you hold a special place in your heart for the movie Tron, this run's for you. The course to run is lit by one million watts of light and draped in music. Runners are encouraged to hold glowsticks, wear neaon and any creative costume they can come up with. Aside from seeing a stunning light show, runners receive glow necklaces and sunglasses and an LED bracelet to light their way home.
As a runner, I am looking forward to when these events are coming to my area, and I fully dress in costume when I go. I think these races are wonderful, but I also think they are something for now, not the long term. This being say, SIGN UP WHILE YOU CAN, because you don't know if it's going to be coming back the next year. I give this a Fabulous! On your mark, get set, GO.
–Errica Trezza

Two iconic authors take on "Earth"
Orson Scott card, best known for Ender's Game has published a new book entitled, "Earth Unaware". This book is a "prequel" of sorts to that classic tome that covers the time directly before the Formics (Buggers) arrived in our solar system.
A mining ship is far out from Earth, beyond Pluto. Their systems are old and failing. The ship's telescopes pick up a fast-moving object coming in-system. It's massive and moving at a significant fraction of the speed of light. The object that might or might not be an alien ship... (Aaron Johnson, co-author)
Terry Pratchett, best known for his Discworld series brings us "The Long Earth". Imagine a multi-verse, that is, an infinate number of multiple Earths that diverge from Earth norm the farther out you travel. And imagine that it is quite easy to move between these multiple Earths, using a device powered by a potato. Would you leave your earth? How far would you go? Would you, or could you come back? (Stephen Baxter, co-author)

Several years back Phil sculpted some small Fleet Scale Lancer and Wraith Fighters for Jovian Chronicles. They were made for a planned Fleet Scale version of Jovian Chronicles, that was never completed, back around the time we did our Heavy Gear Fleet Scale game. Our thinking at the time was we had some nice looking spaceship miniatures, but the larger size fighter and exo armor minis really looked out of place on the tabletop beside the spaceships. So we though making bases of 3 smaller fighters and exo armors to represent a squad, in a scale closer to that of the spaceships would look a lot cooler. We showed an image back then of the three Fleet Scale Lancer and Wraith Fighters mount on small wire stands and black plastic base, and have been receiving requests from Jovian Chronicles Fans for us to produce these small scale minis for years now.
We finally located the models that had been stored away and added a small ball socket hole on the underside of each of them. Then we designed a new pose-able 3 pronged pewter flight stand, with small balls at the tips to fit the ball socket holes under the small fighters and with a peg at the bottom that fits our black plastic base. These small fighter 2 squad packs are now available to purchase for the first time. If we get enough interest (orders) for the new fleet scale fighters there will be fleet scale exos in the future and maybe a few new spaceships as well. Here is a link to the Jovian Chronicles Miniatures section of the online store for all interested in supporting a rebirth of Jovian Chronicles. Plus, we also have some of the Jovian Chronicles 2nd Edtion Lightning Strike Rulebooks and Companions available for purchase.
We also have new Fleet Scale Pathfinder, Hector, Retaliator, Vindicator, Wyvern, Cerberus, Fury, Syreen, Stormrider, and Dragonstriker Exo-Armor Two Squad Packs available for order and shipping now. Plus Brunnhilde Fighters, Ryu, Bonebreaker, and Sakura Exo-Armors Two Squad Packs for the Venus faction.

April 5, 2011 —
For many who pursue the sport, fly-fishing is as much about quietly communing with nature as it is about landing the big one.
On April 2, there weren't many fish being landed, and the sporting enthusiasts were mostly communing with each other at the annual First Cast event, which ceremonially opens trout season in Sullivan County.
Oscar-nominated actor Mark Ruffalo, who has recently been very active in trying to raise awareness about hydraulic fracturing and gas drilling, was one of about a dozen enthusiasts willing to wade into the frigid waters of Junction Pool at the confluence of Willowemoc Creek and the Little Beaverkill River to take part in the cast.
Ruffallo said he became interested in fly-fishing about a year ago when he met Mike Canazon, who builds bamboo rods and volunteers every year to teach kids to tie flies and fly fish at the Delaware Youth Center in Callicoon. As his son was learning the sport, Ruffalo got hooked as well.
Ruffalo, who was about to start shooting the film "The Avengers," almost couldn't make the appearance because he had been called to Albuquerque, NM to begin filming. But thanks to a last-minute schedule change, he was able to be on hand.
Also stepping in as a celebrity guest was Grammy-winning jazz pianist Laurence Hobgood, who donned his fishing outfit alongside others, such as assemblywoman Aileen Gunther, to take part in the cast. Some 65 onlookers and supporters turned out for the event, which began at about 7:30 a.m.
Also there to show support was Sullivan County Legislator Woody Wood who said, while he wasn't carrying a rod at the time, he often fishes the area's little feeder creeks in pursuit of trout. Wood said fly fishing is one of the most important economic drivers in the Roscoe area, and it brings a lot of sales tax dollars into Sullivan County.

Susanna Poykio will not take part in the Rostelecom Cup, not sure why but I hope she is fine.
Anastasia Gimazetdinova replaces Poykio.
Darn I was so looking forward to seeing her programs. If her withdrawal is due to injury wishing her a speedy recovery.
My god, that event is just cursed. They should go back to the old name, maybe that'll help .
I hope Susanna's problem is not too serious.
Ohhh!! i hope that itn´t serius
Susanna has medial tibial stress syndroma in her leg.
Hope she will recover soon!
I liked her new SP at Finlandia Trophy very much!
Thanks Kati, found a brief description of Susanna's diagnosis, maybe caused by over exercising (off ice conditioning). Hopefully Susanna will recover soon, yes I very much liked her SP and LP. At least Susanna has gone for music not used, which is great!!
Shin Splints Injury
Shin Splints is a common term for shin pain that can be due to several different conditions. Because of the confusion that may arise from using the term Shin Splints medical professionals try to avoid using it. One of the most common shin problems that is labelled 'Shin Splints' is Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome. Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome is an irritation of the Tibia (shin bone). In runners, it is caused by over-use, with those who run on hard surfaces being particularly affected.
People suffering from Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome will feel pain on the inner border of the shin (medial Tibial border) during and following exercise. It is important to distinguish Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome from other causes of shin pain ('shin splints') such as Compartment Syndrome or a Stress Fracture. This can require a complex run through of investigations, such as bone scans and compartment pressure tests under the supervision of a sports medicine or orthopaedic doctor.
Most patients with Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome respond to non-operative treatment. Ice Packs are effective at relieving shin pain. Arch Supporting Orthotics (Insoles) and Shock Absorbing Insoles can also help to remedy this problem.
Common Shin Splints signs & symptoms:
Shin pain that comes on gradually.
Pain on the inner border of the shin.
At first the shin pain eases with activity, but aches afterwards.
Get well soon Susanna, we miss you already!!
Just to add a little input, as a runner, I've experienced a couple seasons with medical shin splints...it's horrible. They say you feel like the bone and muscle are seperating...I'm not sure, because the pain was just too overwhelmingly weird and unexpected. It goes away after a couple days to a week or two of hanging out and not so much work, so I'm almost sure that she will be fine later in the season, and it's good that she isn't performing on it if the shin splints are that bad. Hope she feels better and this doesn't hinder her season!

Soulstice Theatre delivers shimmering 'Memory of Water'
Coming from north by northwest, take I-794 to Howard Ave. Make two quick lefts and you've arrived at the St. Francis-based digs of Soulstice Theatre, home to a tiny, gutsy troupe which - when the stars align, as they often do - offers a night out that can rival much of what's available downtown, at half the price.
The constellation appearing on the Soulstice stage right now - in a production of Shelagh Stephenson's "The Memory of Water," under David Ferrie's direction - is definitely worth the trip. »Read Full Article

Sox Pull Offer to Damon
"It has become clear to us in our recent negotiations that the money that we were offering was not going to be good enough for Johnny at this time."
—Kenny Williams to Bruce Levine of
ESPNChicago.com this afternoon
P.S.– Since Damon's agent Scott Boras is still haggling with the Tigers, I guess "never say never," but for now the prospect of the Sox getting Damon seems like a longshot.
1 Comment
I've never been thrilled with Damon's defense. So, I am glad to see this deal go by the boards – at least for now.

Outside lawyers to help prosecute Minn. homeowner
Local prosecutors will get help prosecuting the man accused of killing two teenagers who broke into his home near Little Falls on Thanksgiving.
Morrison County Attorney Brian Middendorf said Monday that Washington County Attorney Pete Orput and an assistant will help prosecute Byron Smith.
Smith is charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the shooting deaths of Haile Kifer, 18, and Nick Brady, 17.
Middendorf previously asked the Minnesota attorney general's office for help and was rejected. He said his office was stretched thin by an unusually high number of recent serious cases.
Orput has been Washington County attorney since 2011. He has more than 24 years of experience as a prosecutor.
The St. Cloud Times reports Smith's next court appearance is scheduled Jan. 22.

The Heat have offered Mike Miller a five-year deal, worth approximately $27 million-$30 million.
Miami has given Miller a deadline of Thursday night to decide.
Miller has been told by the Heat that they are 'confident' LeBron James will be joining the Heat.
Maybe Miller can play center. Jermaine is gone, Bosh says all along he won't play center I thought.
Am I the only one who is getting a little tired of all this?
Yeah, they definately don't have the money for that contract. Total BS
It can only mean they aren't going to sign Lebron or Beasley is gone.
doesnt work.. bosh wade and lebron would have to sign for less if they all signed.... the only way to sign mike miller is to get rid of beasley... but to give him a thurday night deadline.. is bananas.... i think it means that riley is trying to keep the knicks from getting mike miller... because we have enough to sign lebron and miller...
6th Miller
Kind of an lolteam. Tough to wrap your mind around. Dont see how they get Miller though unless we've been misunderstanding the cap situation.
This is more of a sign that LaBron is going to Miami than any of these so called "insiders". Miller is good friends with James and wanted to follow him; the Knicks were talking with him as well. He backed out of the LA deal at the last minute, in my opinion, because of James.
dont think so.....this trade is just talk... so i guess we are saying that if mike signs then these other teams decline... what lebron is takin 10 mil a year... i dont think so.. to be totally honest.. id rather have beasley for one year than mike miller for five.....
You guys forget that Wade and Bosh have all said they will take less than the maximum. If they all sign for around $14 million, Mike Miller and LeBron work just fine. Also there is no state income tax in Florida so that $14 million is a lot closer to a max contract that they would receive elsewhere.
think about it
Of Course, this would just be the final slap in the face.... The salt water in the wound after the plane crashed and the Great White took a chomp out of our torso.
We grow impatient and trade Jeffries, along with our 2009 & 2012 1st round pick, so we can have enough cap space for LJ and another max. We overpay for one max, and then LJ goes elsehwere....
As if that wasn't enough, LJ comes to our backyard to tell us he's going to join Pat the rat in MIA, and that HOU will deal JJ in a deal (helping MIA get rid of Beasley) giving MIA enough cap space to sign 3 max guys plus a sniper?
If we fail to get LJ, the trade of Jeffries is worse than any in franchise history. Worse than Marbury-Curry deal.
Fittingly, we'll probably be 5-6 mil under cap anyway, and stuck with Turiaf who will make 4 mil next summer, maybe even preventing us from getting another max?

Or egg.
Or sausage roll.
Or loaf of bread.
She is a regular vendor at the Farmers Market each Saturday in Beeville.
But her sales now have a specific, if distant, focus.
The Rev. Zenon Konowalek, pastor of the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in Skidmore, is planning to take 10 to 15 parishioners on a two-week tour of Italy in late September.
"We will see Rome, Venice and Assisi," Mortensen says.
The cost is $1,200 each.
With her goal firmly established, she has expanded her vegetable garden. It was 50 by 100 feet; now it's 130 by 100.
"I have a new sympathy for my farming ancestors," she says, and laughs.
In addition to the vegetables, she also sells eggs from her expanded brood of chickens, now almost 60, up from around 27.
Then there are her homemade loaves of bread, and don't forget her sausage rolls.
That's not all.
She also is an author. Copies of her seven-page cookbook, What the Heck Can I Do With All This Squash?, go for $4 apiece.
However tempting it might be, she says that despite time running out, she has not raised the price of her products at the Saturday market.
The Skidmore native, and also a columnist for this newspaper, states the trip to Rome would not be the first time she was abroad.
"I lived in Indonesia in the late 1970s where my husband, Chuck (now retired), was working with the Indonesian government to build a gin to allow the farmers there to grow cotton," she says.
The Indonesian authorities decided to grow soybeans, instead.
This weekend, she'll be at her regular spot on the blacktop at the Farmers Market, working her way to Italy, one sale at time.

Desktop Virtualization Planning Guide

Desktop Virtualization Planning Guide
Desktop Virtualization: What It Is (and What It Isn't)
Maybe you started thinking seriously about desktop virtualization only recently, when the head of sales brought in his new tablet device and demanded that it be hooked up to the network—and two dozen more salespeople quickly followed suit. Or maybe you've been thinking about it for several years, since your IT department also began looking at server virtualization
While it's certainly not a new topic, there's still a lot of confusion about what desktop virtualization is—and what it isn't. At its core, desktop virtualization is a way of reconciling two (often competing) goals: IT's desire to exert more control over the client platform to simplify management and rein in costs, and the user's desire for more flexibility and greater choice in endpoints and applications.
Desktop Virtualization Is…
• Technology that allows multi-client environments to be controlled and managed from a central point.
• A collection of techniques—including streaming, remoting, virtualizing, and layering. Desktop virtualization software solutions apply some or all of these techniques to full desktop images or to applications. The resulting entities are administered and managed by IT through centralized management consoles.
• A way to balance the needs of employees who want to use the devices that help them perform at their best, and the IT department's needs to maintain security, retain management control, and contain costs.
• Technology that can help your IT department be better prepared for what the future brings— for example, putting you in a better position to handle new client OS migrations, the continued proliferation of new client types, and the move to cloud computing.
Desktop Virtualization Isn't…
• A one-size-fits-all proposition. There are multiple delivery models, and it's very likely that the best solution for your company will be a combination of two or more of these models.
• A cure-all for common IT headaches such as reducing the number of images, maintaining security, or managing devices effectively. In fact, if these client management processes are not under control beforehand, desktop virtualization can actually add complexity and reduce IT efficiency.
• A guaranteed way to reduce hardware and support costs. Desktop virtualization is a complex undertaking, and organizations must carefully analyze total cost of ownership (TCO).
• Synonymous with virtual hosted desktops, VDI, or thin clients. Desktop virtualization encompasses both server-side and client-side virtualization options, as well as both thin client and intelligent client option.

July 1, 1997: Hubble telescope pictures of Mars, taken June 27, 1997 in preparation for the July 4 landing of the Pathfinder spacecraft, show a dust storm churning through the deep canyons of Valles Marineris, just 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) south of the Pathfinder spacecraft landing site.
Astronomers also report the presence of patchy cirrus clouds over the landing site and very thick clouds to the north. Because there are so many clouds (related to low temperatures in the atmosphere causing water vapor to freeze), the dust will probably stay confined to the canyons, they conclude. The green cross on the bottom picture identifies the Pathfinder landing site.See the rest:

Details of New Found Glory and the Ticket Luck value
New Found Glory
New Found Glory was earlier known as A New Found Glory. It is an American pop punk band, that came into existence in 1997 in Coral Springs, Florida. The band is now based in California. Founders of this band included Jordan Pundik, Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein, Ian Grushka and Joe Moreno. Moreno was replaced by Cyrus Bolooki after the band's first album was launched. Pundik and Klein were the ones who thought of the band's name. This was while they worked at Red Lobster. They decided to drop the ?A' because fans found it difficult to look for their albums at stores. New Found Glory went on a series of early tours. They toured along with a local band called The Vacant Andys.
Professional career
New Found Glory launched their first full-length album in 2000. This was recorded with MCA and it was a self-titled album. It reached number 107 on the Billboard 200 album charts. It made to the number 1 spot on the Heatseeker chart. Their hit single "Hit or Miss" from this album made it to number 15 on the US modern rock chart. In 2001, the band became even more well-known. They recorded the Sticks and Stones album [2001] which was to be launched in 2002. This album was their breakthrough record that debuted at number 4 on the Billboard album charts. It also sold 91,000 albums in its first week of sales. It also reached the top ten of the UK album charts. As opposed to an announcement from the band on March 28, 2005, James Dewees of The Get Up Kids and Reggie and the Full Effect had not joined the band as permanent members.
MTV.com posted an article of an interview with Chad Gilbert [June 14, 2006] in which he announced that the band's next album would be titled Coming Home. This was supposed to be launched on September 19, 2006. The first single "It's Not Your Fault" was also scheduled for release in July 2006. New Found Glory also announced that they would begin their tour in November 2006. For this tour, they said that Michael Bethancourt would join them. By June, "It's Not Your Fault" found its way onto the Internet, after it was launched on a Suretone Records sampler. The following month, the 2nd song from Coming Home, 'Hold My Hand', was also onto the Internet through fansites.
New Found Glory launched a cover of Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River "on Yahoo! Music's "Pepsi Smash Cover Art" [On August 23, 2006]. Another song from Coming Home, "Oxygen", was launched on New Found Glory's Myspace page [August].
Coming Home was launched according to schedule, September 19, 2006.
The band split from Geffen Records on March 20, 2007. Their future plan is to launch their upcoming LP From the Screen to Your Stereo Pt. 2 from their previous label, Drive-Thru Records [September 18, 2007]. Additionally, they plan to release a full-length album in 2008. Since the band has managed to meet its deadlines according to its promises, it is thought that the 2008 album will be released according to schedule.

I just do not see Tony saying anything negative. Now he may turn around and blame on the media for making it a bigger issue then it is. Then again I could be totally wrong.
nice to finally see a reasonable Tony fan on this subject.
Like I said he will play nice. He will be the corporate guy (not the tony everyone wants) when it comes to Haas. Then he will try & spin it on the media & mess with them for making a big thing out of what Haas said. In other words he will lie & try to cover it up.

It will probably be available on NASCAR.com, but sometime later. It may even get posted to YouTube eventually.
I'm going to attempt to record the video stream, but depending on the length of the press conference, it could end up being a VERY BIG file. We'll see if it works. I've been practicing.

SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) today awarded a
contract to Pearson Educational Measurement (PEM) for administrative services
for the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) beginning in spring 2007.
The board's vote follows problems that arose in the spring 2006 testing cycle
when Harcourt Assessment, Inc. (HAI) did not deliver tests and answer documents
to schools on time, and produced tests that included printing and collation
"With today's action we are taking an important step to
move past this year's problems with delivery of tests to
our schools," said ISBE Chairman Jesse Ruiz. "While the
test itself received high praise, there were major problems
in the delivery process. We had to take action to make
sure that didn't happen again. We look forward to working
hand in hand with Pearson so that Illinois schools get
next year's tests on time and that the whole process goes
In a special meeting, the board unanimously voted to award
the contract to PEM for the following services connected
with ISAT:
"We're delighted to be working with Illinois again. We
were involved with the state's first statewide assessment
in 1988, and we have worked with Illinois schools for over
fifty years," said Douglas Kubach, president and CEO of
Pearson Educational Measurement. "We're looking forward
to applying our resources and quality processes to the
ISAT in 2007 and beyond."
Pearson Educational Measurement was founded by the University
of Iowa in 1953 as the Measurement Research Center, where
assessment pioneer E. F. Lindquist founded the Iowa Testing
Programs and developed the Optical Mark Reader (OMR) technology
and data collection services that are still used today
for scoring assessments. National Computer Systems (NCS)
acquired the business in 1983. In 2000, Pearson acquired
NCS. Pearson is part of the U.S. Assessments and Testing
businesses of Pearson Education. These businesses provide
assessment products, services and technology solutions
to customers in education, government, health care and
business settings.
ISBE and PEM will begin work immediately for the 2007
testing cycle. The initial term of agreement between ISBE
and PEM is through September 2009 for a maximum amount
of $32.9 million. The ISAT measures individual student
achievement relative to the Illinois Learning Standards.
The results give parents, teachers, and schools one measure
of student learning and school performance.
Last month ISBE awarded the contract for administrative
services for the Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE)
to ACT beginning in the 2007 testing cycle. The PSAE measures
the achievement of grade 11 students relative to the Illinois
Learning Standards for reading, mathematics, and science.

Im not sure what your point is jaguar.
Is it that in some areas, NCL clubs are better than pro' clubs at developing players? Of course this is true. Most CC and CC1 clubs no longer bother with anything other than the first 17. Not sure why any club has to be scrapped though.
Or is your point that a semi-pro club shouldn't be launched in Cheltenham?
Just complaining about the amount of RFL funding that goes to the Championship Clubs - when it quite clearly isn't them that's "investing" in the game.
No problem with a semi-pro club being launched in Cheltenham - but why should they be funded by the RFL? What have Cheltenham got exactly (I really don't know, so perhaps someone could let us know). Do they have their own ground? Do they have any money of their own?
If the Championship Clubs didn't receive the funding that they do from the RFL they wouldn't survive - unlike the amateur clubs who have to fend for themselves.

ONU students to help with tax preparation
Elderly and low-income tax payers in Hardin and surrounding counties can find free income tax assistance from Ohio Northern University business and law students through Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA).
The VITA Program offers free tax help to low-to-moderate-income (generally $51,000 and below) individuals across the country who cannot prepare tax returns on their own. As part of this program, ONU students have received training and have become IRS-certified to help prepare basic and intermediate tax returns and identify special credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit and Credit for the Elderly.
ONU students will offer free electronic filing (e-filing) services in Ohio Northern's James F. Dicke Hall (room 140) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5-9 p.m. from Feb. 12 to April 11 (excluding March 5-7 and March 28). Appointments are available but not required.
Taxpayers interested in these services should bring proof of identification, tax information received for the 2012 filing year (including Forms W-2, Forms 1099 and all other items marked "Important Tax Return Document/Information Enclosed"), and copies of last year's federal and state tax returns, if available.
To make an appointment or learn more, contact site coordinator Dexter Woods at Ohio Northern University at 419-772-2075.

Mobile devices will be the future of healthcare and health IT. Today in parts of the world too poor to afford enterprise systems, "mHealth" is now the way healthcare is delivered.
Please see the recent article in the Wall Street Journal: Google Defends Way It Gets Phone Data
This story should serve as a warning to patients: If your doctor uses an iPad, iPhone, or Android to access your electronic health information, Google and Apple may be collecting, using, or selling it.
- QUOTE: "Amid rising scrutiny of their practices, Google Inc. defended the way it collects location data from Android phones, while Apple Inc. remained silent for a third day. The companies' smartphones regularly transmit locations back to Google and Apple servers, respectively, according to data and documents analyzed by The Wall Street Journal. Research by a security analyst this week found that an Android phone collected location data every few seconds and sent it to Google several times an hour. Apple disclosed in a letter to Congress last year that its phones "intermittently" collect location data, and the company receives it twice a day."
Do Androids, iPhones and iPads send health records back to Google and Apple every few seconds the same way they send GPS data? Right now, health data on mobile devices typically isn't even encrypted.
Do Google and Apple collect and store health data for months, like they do with location data?
Do Google and Apple "anonymize" health data the same way they "anonymize" your cell phone: by assigning a unique number that is directly traceable back to you?
The point is, whatever Apple and Google can do with GPS data, they can do with health data on mobile devices.

TCL > April 2013 Issue > Disciplinary Case Summaries for Matters Resulting in Diversion and Private Admonition
Articles describing Diversion Agreements and private admonitions as part of the Attorney Regulation System are published on a quarterly basis. These summaries are contributed quarterly by the Colorado Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation.
Diversion and Private Admonition Summaries
Diversion is an alternative to discipline (see CRCP 251.13). Pursuant to the rule and depending on the stage of the proceeding, Attorney Regulation Counsel (Regulation Counsel), the Attorney Regulation Committee (ARC), the Presiding Disciplinary Judge (PDJ), the hearing board, or the Supreme Court may offer diversion as an alternative to discipline. For example, Regulation Counsel can offer a Diversion Agreement when the complaint is at the central intake level in the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel (OARC). Thereafter, ARC or some other entity must approve the agreement.
From November 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013, at the intake stage, Regulation Counsel entered into eight Diversion Agreements involving nine requests for investigation. ARC approved five Diversion Agreements involving five requests for investigation during this time frame. There were no Diversion Agreements submitted to the PDJ for approval. ARC issued two private admonitions involving two matters. The PDJ approved one private admonition during this time frame.
Determining if Diversion is Appropriate
Regulation Counsel reviews the following factors to determine whether diversion is appropriate:
Regulation Counsel will consider diversion only if the presumptive range of discipline in the particular matter is likely to result in a public censure or less. However, if the attorney has been publicly disciplined in the last three years, the matter generally will not be diverted under the rule (see CRCP 251.13(b)). Other factors may preclude Regulation Counsel from agreeing to diversion (see CRCP 251.13(b)).
Purpose of the Diversion Agreement
The purpose of a Diversion Agreement is to educate and rehabilitate the attorney so that he or she does not engage in such misconduct in the future. Furthermore, the Diversion Agreement may address some of the systemic problems an attorney may be having. For example, if an attorney engaged in minor misconduct (neglect), and the reason for such conduct was poor office management, one of the conditions of diversion may be a law office management audit and/or practice monitor. The time period for a Diversion Agreement generally is no less than one year and no greater than three years.
Conditions of the Diversion Agreement
The type of misconduct dictates the conditions of the Diversion Agreement. Although each Diversion Agreement is factually unique, many times the requirements are similar. Generally, the attorney is required to attend Ethics School and/or Trust Account School, which are conducted by attorneys from OARC. An attorney may also be required to fulfill any of the following conditions:
Note: The terms of a Diversion Agreement may not be detailed in this summary if the terms are generally included within Diversion Agreements.
After the attorney successfully completes the requirements of the Diversion Agreement, Regulation Counsel will close its file, and the matter will be expunged pursuant to CRCP 251.33(d). If Regulation Counsel has reason to believe that the attorney has breached the Diversion Agreement, then Regulation Counsel must follow the steps provided in CRCP 251.13 before an agreement can be revoked.
Types of Misconduct
The types of misconduct resulting in diversion during November 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013 generally involved the following:
Some cases resulted from personal problems the attorney was experiencing at the time of the misconduct. In those situations, the Diversion Agreements may include a requirement for a mental health evaluation and, if necessary, counseling to address the underlying problems of depression, alcoholism, or other mental health issues that may be affecting the attorney's ability to practice law.
Diversion Agreements
Below are some Diversion Agreements that Regulation Counsel determined appropriate for specific types of misconduct during November 1, 2012 through January 31, 2012. The sample gives a general description of the misconduct, the Colorado Rule(s) of Professional Conduct implicated, and the corresponding conditions of the Diversion Agreement.
> Respondent misadvised his client in a driving under the influence (DUI) case. Respondent advised his client that she could plead guilty to the offense and then appeal the trial court's denial of her motion to suppress. Respondent's advice was based on his misunderstanding of the holding in People v. Bachofer, 85 P.3d 615 (Colo.App. 2003). Respondent believed that Bachofer stood for the proposition that a defendant preserves his or her right to appeal rulings on pretrial motions despite entering a plea of guilty. Respondent's advice to his client was wrong and in contravention with the Rule 11 advisement executed by each of them, and in contravention with the holding in Bachofer. In Bachofer, the court upheld the validity of a conditional guilty plea, reserving a defendant's right to appeal the trial court's suppression ruling based on the parties' agreement to enter into such a conditional plea. The Supreme Court has since decided that conditional pleas are not permissible. See People v. Neuhaus, 2012 CO 65 (Nov. 19, 2012).
When the appellate court dismissed respondent's client's appeal of the trial court order, respondent filed a C.R.Crim.P. 35(c) motion with the trial court. Respondent alleged that he advised his client that she could appeal the trial court's denial of the motion to suppress after pleading guilty to DUI. Respondent persisted in prosecuting the 35(c) motion despite being a direct witness to the facts alleged in the motion and despite the significant risk that his continued representation would be materially limited by his personal interest.
Rules Implicated: Colo. RPC 1.1 and 1.7(a)(2)
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the one-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must attend Ethics School, complete eight hours of CLE credit in criminal law, have no new violations, and pay all costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
> Respondent was retained to represent his client in renewing a liquor license. Respondent previously had represented the client in obtaining permission for transfer of the liquor license and in a renewal of the same license. Respondent filed the application for renewal after the due date, although he stated such late filing was permissible with payment of a late fee. Respondent personally paid the late fee. The application subsequently was denied due to the city's position that additional steps necessary for transfer and renewal of the license were to have been taken before the filing of the renewal application. Because those steps were not taken, the application would not be considered. Although respondent attempted to resolve the matter after denial, he was unable to do so. Respondent acknowledged that he did not properly communicate with his client regarding the status of the application and did not timely inform the client regarding the denial.
Rules Implicated: Colo. RPC 1.3 and 1.4
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the one-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must attend Ethics School and pay all costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
Scope of Representation and Confidentiality
> Respondent decided to dispose client files that were more than ten years old. Respondent placed the client files in public recycling bins located in an alley. Approximately half of the files were in trash bags and the remaining files were placed un-bagged in the recycling bins. The client files contained medical documents and personal client information, such as addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, and client photographs.
A concerned citizen reported this matter to the OARC. Employees of the OARC went to the site and collected, removed, and bagged the client files. Twenty to thirty bags of files were obtained. After being contacted by the OARC, respondent took ownership of the files and had them securely shredded.
Rules Implicated: Colo. RPC 1.6 and 1.16(d)
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the one-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must attend Ethics School, have no further rule violations, and pay all costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
Trust Account Issues
> Respondent did not maintain a proper general ledger and proper client ledgers, and did not reconcile his trust account quarterly. Respondent's failure to comply with Colo. RPC 1.15, as well as his general lack of understanding of this rule, caused several bookkeeping errors. Respondent has since changed his billing practices and his bookkeeping practices.
Rules Implicated: Colo. RPC 1.15(i)(6) and (j)(2)
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the two-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must attend Trust Account School, meet with a financial monitor, and pay all costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
Criminal Conduct
> Respondent was stopped by a sheriff's deputy after he made a wrong turn on a one-way street. The deputy smelled a strong odor of alcohol, and noticed respondent had slurred speech, showed signs of impairment on the horizontal gaze nystagmus, and swayed while standing. Respondent also admitted to consumption of alcohol. The Law Enforcement Sworn Report states that respondent refused a portable breath test.
Respondent was arrested and charged with DUI and improper lane usage. Respondent pleaded guilty to DUI and was sentenced to twelve months of supervised probation, with conditions. The improper lane usage charge was dismissed.
Respondent completed an alcohol evaluation. The doctor determined that respondent was in the threshold range between problem drinking and alcohol abuse. He made recommendations that included monitoring. This was respondent's second alcohol-related offense.
Rules Implicated: Colo. RPC 8.4(b) and CRCP 251.5(b)
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the two-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must comply with the requirements of his criminal probation, attend Ethics School, attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or an equivalent recovery program, meet with the Colorado Lawyer Assistance Program at least one time, abstain from the use of alcohol, be enrolled in MEMS 3000 alcohol monitoring for one year, have no further discipline, and pay all costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
> Respondent pleaded guilty to Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI). Respondent's breath alcohol content (BAC) was .125%. The underlying incident did not involve an accident or injury. This was respondent's first alcohol-related offense.
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the one-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must attend Ethics School, comply with terms of probation, have no further disciplinary violations, and pay all costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
> Within a four-month period, respondent was convicted of two DUIs, with BACs in each case above .200. Respondent has been diagnosed as alcohol dependent and was dealing with several stressful events in his personal and professional life at that time. These were respondent's first alcohol-related offenses. Respondent regularly attends AA meetings, in addition to participating in individual therapy.
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the three-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must comply with the terms of his criminal probation, participate in alcohol monitoring, obtain mental health treatment, attend AA meetings, attend Ethics School, and pay all costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
> Respondent filed a pro se petition for dissolution of marriage. Respondent and his wife both wanted to dissolve their marriage and believed Colorado was the most appropriate jurisdiction in which to file at the time.
In his petition, in response to the question "Length of Current Residency in Colorado," respondent wrote "31 years," since "9/26/1979." Also on the petition, respondent listed his parents' address in Colorado as his current address. By signing the petition, respondent affirmed under oath that his responses to questions on the petition were true and correct to the best of his knowledge. However, at the time he filed the petition, respondent had been living and working in the Washington, DC area for four months. Respondent's wife had been living and working in New York for more than two years at the time the petition was filed.
After not being able to reach a settlement, respondent, who has no experience in domestic relations matters, sought to dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction. Respondent's wife sought attorney fees, arguing that respondent's petition lacked substantial justification and was groundless. The court entered an order dismissing the petition for lack of jurisdiction, and awarded respondent's wife attorney fees and costs in the amount of $9,426.53. Respondent paid the full award for attorney fees and costs.
Respondent mistakenly believed that he could file for dissolution of marriage in Colorado because he was born in Colorado, was married in Colorado, and considered Colorado his "home" state.
Rule Implicated: Colo. RPC 8.4(d)
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the one-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must attend Ethics School and pay all costs associated with the diversion proceedings.
> In November, respondent pleaded guilty to Attempted Fail to Stop or Respond at Command of Police, a class A misdemeanor; Impaired Driving, a class B misdemeanor; and Disorderly Conduct, a class C misdemeanor. This plea stemmed from respondent's arrest in May 2012 in Grand County, Utah following respondent's involvement in a minor automobile accident while trying to park his vehicle, after which he had a physical confrontation with a witness and allegedly failed to stop for or cooperate with police during his arrest. Respondent was administered a blood test pursuant to a warrant and his BAC was .08.
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the two-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must attend Ethics School, comply with the court sentence, and pay all costs associated with the disciplinary proceedings.
> Respondent was charged with DUIalcohol. A blood test revealed a BAC of .261. Respondent pleaded guilty to the charge and reported the conviction pursuant to the requirement contained in CRCP 251.20(b). An evaluation determined that respondent met the criteria for a diagnosis of alcohol dependence.
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the three-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must attend Ethics School, abstain from alcohol, submit a monthly report, comply with the court sentence, have no formal complaints or petitions for immediate suspension for three years, follow an evaluator's recommendations, follow aftercare recommendations, submit to random urinalysis testing twice a week for two years, attend AA meetings four times a week, attend Lawyers Helping Lawyers meetings, and pay all costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
> Respondent was involved in a one-car accident. Respondent pleaded guilty to DWAI.
Rules Implicated: Colo. RPC 8.4(b) and CRCP 251.5(c)
Diversion Agreement: As part of the conditions of the three-year Diversion Agreement, respondent must attend Ethics School, comply with the terms and conditions of the criminal sentence, have no formal complaints or petitions for immediate suspension, submit monthly reports, abstain from drinking, participate in the MEMS 3000 alcohol-monitoring program, and pay all costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
