Author's note: In part one of a two-part series of excerpts from Eclipse's Chapter 2, we'll get down to the business of developing Java using Eclipse. We're going to take a look at using Eclipse for Java development as well as project management, going from the basics to the fairly serious. Nearly everything in this chapter is essential knowledge for the Java developer using Eclipse, so let's jump in.
If there's anything that takes more time than it seems to be worth in Java, it's creating code from scratch. While the logic inside a method, interface, or class is unique, the modifiers of a method, the imports for a class, and the syntax involved with new packages is the same over and over again. This often results in a lot of repetitive typing, wasted time, and in many cases, annoying little typo-related bugs. Eclipse can help with all this and more.

Eclipse - through code assist - makes it easy to create new methods. As an
example, we're going to create and call a new method named
which displays the message "No worries.", as you can see in Example 2-1.
Example 2-1. The Ch02_01.java example
public class Ch02_01
public static void main(String[] args)
printer( );
private static void printer( )
System.out.println("No worries.");
How do you create new methods? Start Eclipse now and create a new project
Ch02_01. Then create a new Java class named
Ch02_01, making it part of the
package. Leave the checkbox for the creation of a stub for the
method checked when you create this new class. This gives you the code:
public class Ch02_01 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
You could simply type in the
printer method, of course, but
Eclipse can also be of assistance here. Move the cursor below the body of the
main method and type
private to make this new method a
private method, and then type Ctrl+Space to open code assist, as you see in
Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1. Creating a private method
Code assist lets you select the type of private method you want to
private static, and so on.
Here, select the
private static method, creating the
new method template you see in Figure 2-2. The placeholder
return_type is highlighted, ready for you to enter in a type; use
void. Next, replace the
name placeholder with the name
printer and delete the
arguments placeholder.
Figure 2-2. Setting the new method's return type
This creates the new method in outline; all that's left is to add the code that will display the message (as before, you can take advantage of code assist to pause after you type each dot for suggestions):
public static void main(String[] args) {
private static void printer( )
System.out.println("No worries.");
Then just add the call to
printer from
public static void main(String[] args) {
printer( );
private static void printer( )
System.out.println("No worries.");
That's all you need; now you can run the example with the Run As→ Java Application menu item. You should see "No worries." appear in the Console view just as before. But this time, we're using a new custom method.
We've created a new method and given it a name, but what if you want that new
method to be in a different class? For example, say that your
method is in a class named
Ch02_02, but the
method is in a class named
In this case, you could create a new object of the
class in the
main method, and then you could call that object's
printer method, as you see in Example 2-2.
Example 2-2. The Ch02_02.java example
public class Ch02_02 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Ch02_02Helper helper = new Ch02_02Helper( );
helper.printer( );
Ch02_02Helper class, with the
printer method in
it, appears in Example 2-3.
Example 2-3. The Ch02_02Helper.java example
public class Ch02_02Helper {
public void printer( ) {
System.out.println("No worries.");
To implement this example with its two classes in Eclipse, create a new
project named
Ch02_02 and add the new class
Ch02_02Helper to the project. Make this class
and put it into the
org.eclipsebook.ch02 package (and make sure
that you don't create a
main method stub in this class). Next, add
printer method to this class, as in Example 2-2.
Then save the file. This is an important step because if you don't
save the file, the
printer method won't be available to the rest of
your project's code. This is essential to know whenever you want to work with
items from file A in file B, you have to save file A first because Eclipse
compiles from the files, not what's in its editors.
Having created the new
Ch02_02Helper class, the next step is to
create the class containing code that will make use of it, the
Ch02_02 class. Create that new class in the project and add a stub
for the
main method to it. Now all you need to do in the
main method is add the code to create an object of the
Ch02_02Helper class and call that object's
public class Ch02_02 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Ch02_02Helper helper = new Ch02_02Helper( );helper.printer( );
Then save all your work and run the application; Eclipse's compiler handles locating both classes in the same package for you. You should see the "No worries." message as shown in Figure 2-3. As you can see in the Package Explorer, we're using multiple classes in the same project.
Figure 2-3. Using multiple classes
And there's more you can do with multiple classes here as well. Say you want
to override the
printer method and change the text it displays. You
can do that by deriving a new class based on the
class and overriding
printer in this new class. To do this,
right-click the
org.eclipsebook.ch02 package inside the
Ch02_02 project and select the New→ Class item, opening the New
Java Class dialog you see in Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4. Creating a derived class
Name the new class
Ch02_02HelperHelper, enter the package name,
and deselect the
main stub checkbox. To derive this class from
Ch02_02Helper, type
Ch02_02Helper in the Superclass
box (you can also implement interfaces by entering them into the Interfaces
box), and click Finish to create the new class. Here's what you get - this new
class automatically extends the
Ch02_02Helper class:
public class Ch02_02HelperHelper extends Ch02_02Helper {
TIP: Notice the "Enclosing type" box in the New Java Class dialog. If you want to enclose one class within another, you can enter the name of the enclosing class here. Note also that if you right-click the enclosing class in the Package Explorer and select New→ Class, the enclosing class's name will appear in the Enclosing type text box when this dialog opens, although it won't be used unless you select its checkbox.
We want to override the
printer method from the base class's
version here, so open the new class,
Ch02_02HelperHelper, and
select the Source→ Override/Implement Methods menu item, opening the
Override/Implement Methods dialog box you see in Figure 2-5 (if you're
implementing an interface, you can also find the methods you have to implement
Figure 2-5. Overriding a method
This dialog shows a list of possible overrides; all you have to do is pick
one. In this case, select the
printer method and click OK. When you
do, you'll see a stub for the new version of the
printer method in
Ch02_02HelperHelper class:
public class Ch02_02HelperHelper extends Ch02_02Helper {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see org.eclipsebook.ch02.Ch02_02Helper#printer( )
public void printer( ) {// TODO Auto-generated method stubsuper.printer( );}
In this overriding version, use this code to display a new message, "No problems.":
public void printer( ) {
System.out.println("No problems.");
And that's it - you've overridden a method in a derived class. As the final
step here, change the code in the
main method to use your new
public class Ch02_02 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Ch02_02HelperHelper helper = new Ch02_02HelperHelper( );
helper.printer( );
When you run this example, you should see the new message, "No problems.", as in Figure 2-6.
Figure 2-6. Using our derived class
As you can see, automatic code generation can be a timesaver. In this case, you used it to override a method, but there are other options available in the Source menu:
Source→ Comment lets you comment out a section of code. This is great for anyone who's ever had to comment out a long set of lines. All you have to do is select the lines to comment out and choose this menu item. A single-line comment, //, will appear in front of all the lines. Want to uncomment them? Just choose Source→ Uncomment.
Source→ Generate Getter and Setter lets you generate standard Java getter
and setter methods for a field in a class. For example, if the field is named
temperature, the suggested getter and setter methods will be
getTemperature and
Source→ Generate Delegate Methods lets you create delegate methods for other methods automatically.
Source→ Add Constructor from Superclass lets you create a constructor that will include code to call the superclass's constructor. (You can also create this constructor automatically when you create a class.)
Source→ Surround with try/catch Block is a great one, and it will surround selected text with a try/catch block for you. This option checks for any uncaught exceptions automatically and adds code to catch them.
For example, say you've stored the message that the
method displays in a class field named
public class Ch02_02HelperHelper extends Ch02_02Helper {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see org.eclipsebook.ch02.Ch02_02Helper#printer( )
String message = "No problems.";
public void printer( ) {
Instead of simply storing this data in a class field, you can use getter and
setter methods to access it (these methods are of the standard form used in
JavaBeans to support properties). In this case, you can create getter and
setter methods for the value in
message by selecting the Source→
Generate Getter and Setter menu item, which opens the Generate Getter and Setter
dialog box you see in Figure 2-7. Just select the checkbox next to
message and click OK.
Figure 2-7. Creating Getter and Setter methods
Eclipse will create the new getter and setter methods
setMessage; we can use
getMessage when we want to
display the message in the
printer method this way:
public class Ch02_02HelperHelper extends Ch02_02Helper {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see org.eclipsebook.ch02.Ch02_02Helper#printer( )
String message = "No problems.";
public void printer( ) {
System.out.println(getMessage( ));
* @return
public String getMessage( ) {
return message;
* @param string
public void setMessage(String string) {
message = string;
Another good timesaver is the Source→ Surround with try/catch Block menu
item. This one checks the code you've selected for uncaught exceptions and
writes a
try/catch block for any that it finds - another great
Eclipse feature worth the price of admission.
Besides using multiple classes in the same project, it's also easy to
distribute your code over multiple packages in the same project. For
example, you can break up your code into two packages,
org.eclipse.ch02 and
org.eclipse.ch02_2, as you can
see in the Package Explorer at left in Figure 2-8. Here, we're putting the
Ch02_03Helper class, which contains the
method, into an entirely new package,
Figure 2-8. Using multiple packages
If you want to access a class in another package, just remember to import
it - in this case, that means using the fully qualified name of the class you want
access to, which is
org.eclipsebook.ch02_2.Ch02_03Helper. After
you've imported the class, you can create objects using it, like this:
import org.eclipsebook.ch02_2.Ch02_03Helper;
* @author Steven Holzner
* To change the template for this generated type comment go to
* Window>Preferences>Java>Code Generation>Code and Comments
public class Ch02_03 {
public static void main(String[] args){
Ch02_03Helper helper = new Ch02_03Helper( );
helper.printer( );
And that's all it takes; as you can see, multiple packages in the same project are no problem at all.
What if the code you want to use is not only in a different package, it's
also in another project? When you create a project, you have the option of
adding other projects to the build path. For example, if you want to create a
new project that works with the code in the
package from a new project,
Ch02_03, just click the Projects tab in
the second pane of the New Java Project dialog and add the
project to the build path, as you see in Figure 2-9.
Figure 2-9. Adding a project to the build path
Now the code in
Ch02_03, including the
org.eclipsebook.ch02_2 package, is accessible to your new project.
You can also add other projects to the build path after a project has been
created by selecting the project in the Package Explorer, right-clicking it, and
selecting the Properties context menu item. In the Properties dialog that opens,
select Java Build Path and click the Projects tab, giving you the same display
as in Figure 2-9.
How do you create the Java .class files that are the end result of
developing a project? You use the items in the Project menu. The main menu item
here is the Project→ Build Project menu item. This item will compile the source
code files in your project and leave the resulting .class files in the
same folder as the source code files by default. For example, if you are working
with the
Ch02_03 project and select Project→ Build Project, the
.class files for this project will appear in the directory
workspace/Ch02_03/org/eclipsebook/Ch02 (recall that the classes in this
project are in the
org.eclipsebook.Ch02 package, which the
directory structure reflects). Once created, these .class files are
ready for use and distribution.
It often makes sense to store all your project's source code in a folder named src and the binary output in a folder named bin. If you want to set things up this way when you create a new project, open the New Java Project dialog as usual, and, in the second pane, click the Source tab followed by the Add Folder button. Doing so opens the Source Folder Selection dialog; click the Create New Folder button and give the new folder the name src. Then click OK twice. Eclipse will recognize that you're creating a source code folder and automatically ask if you want to create a bin folder for the binary output, as you see in Figure 2-10.
Figure 2-10. Creating source and bin folders
Configuring a project this way automatically stores your source code in the folder named src and the binary output in a folder named bin (bin will not appear in the Package Explorer because it doesn't contain any source code).
Say that you're writing a Java servlet (for more details on servlets, see Chapter 9), shown in Example 2-4.
Example 2-4. The Ch02_04.java example
package org.eclipse.ch02;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
* @author Steven Holzner
* To change the template for this generated type comment go to
* Window>Preferences>Java>Code Generation>Code and Comments
public class Ch02_04 extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter( );
out.println("A Web Page");
out.println("Hello there!");
The code in this example relies on classes like
HttpServlet that
don't come built into the Java core libraries. Since Eclipse can't find some of
the required classes, you'll see plenty of wavy red underlines as you enter this
code, as in Figure 2-11.
Figure 2-11. Plenty of import not found errors
You can fix this easily by including the correct Java Archive (JAR) file in the classpath, which, in this case, is servlet.jar. This JAR file comes with the web server we're going to use later in the book, Apache Tomcat. To add servlet.jar to the classpath, right-click the project in the Package Explorer and select the Properties item, opening the dialog you see in Figure 2-12.
Figure 2-12. The Properties dialog
In this case, you select the Libraries tab in this dialog, click Add External JARs, navigate to servlet.jar, and click OK. Doing so adds servlet.jar to the classpath, as you see in Figure 2-12. Click OK to close the Properties dialog and build the project; when you do, things work out fine, as you can see in Figure 2-13, because the needed JAR file is now in the classpath - you can see the reference to servlet.jar in this project in the Package Explorer at left.
Figure 2-13. A new JAR file in the build path
If you know you're going to be using a JAR file like servlet.jar when you first create the project, you can add that JAR file to the project's classpath in the third pane of the New Project dialog. You'll see the same tabs there as you do in Figure 2-12 - just click the Libraries tab and add any JAR files you want to the project.
If you add multiple JAR files to the classpath, you can also indicate the order in which you want them searched - just select the Order and Export tab in the Properties dialog, as you see in Figure 2-14, and change the order of imported items with the Up and Down buttons. You can also indicate which items to export by selecting their checkboxes here; when you export an item, it becomes available to any project dependent on the current project.
Figure 2-14. Setting import order
You can also add .class files to the classpath - just use the Add Class Folder button in the Properties dialog to add a folder containing .class files.
Say that you're going to be developing more than one servlet; in this case,
you might want to make things easier on yourself by creating a classpath
variable corresponding to servlet.jar. You can use that variable
to add servlet.jar to the classpath. To create a classpath variable,
select Window→ Preferences, then select the Java item's Classpath Variables
item, as you see in Figure 2-15. To create a new variable, click New, enter the
new variable's name - we'll use
SERVLET_LIB here - and the path it
corresponds to, then click OK. You can see this new variable in Figure 2-15.
Figure 2-15. Creating a classpath variable
Now, when you want to add this classpath variable to a project's classpath, just open the project's Properties dialog, click the Libraries tab, click the Add Variable button that you see in Figure 2-12, and select the variable you want to add to the classpath. Using classpath variables like this is not only convenient, but it also centralizes your classpath references - for example, if you want to use a new version of servlet.jar, all you've got to do is update the classpath variable.
Say that your code needs to read command-line arguments, as you see in
Example 2-5, where we're displaying the first word passed on the command line to
our code. For example, you could start this program on the command line like
Hello! (we'll use
% for a generic command-line prompt in this book), and you'd expect
the program to display the word "Hello!"
Example 2-5. The Ch02_05.java example
package org.eclipsebook.ch02;
* @author Steven Holzner
* To change the template for this generated type comment go to
* Window>Preferences>Java>Code Generation>Code and Comments
public class Ch02_05 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Unfortunately, when you run this code as is, you'll get the error
org.eclipsebook.ch02.Ch02_05.main(Ch02_05.java:18) in the console window because we haven't supplied any command-line arguments to
be stored in the
args array. You can supply command-line arguments
in the launch configuration for this project; to set that configuration, select
the Run→ Run . . . menu item, opening the Run dialog you see in Figure 2-16.
Figure 2-16. Setting a launch configuration
In this dialog, enter "Hello!" in the Program arguments box, as you see in Figure 2-16. If you want to, you can also enter Java Virtual Machine options in the VM arguments box here, as well as select what Java runtime environment you want to work with by clicking the JRE tab. After you enter "Hello!" in the Program arguments box, click Run and the code in your project will read that command-line argument and display it, as you see in Figure 2-17.
Figure 2-17. Supplying command-line arguments to a program
When you run Eclipse for the first time, it searches for installed Java runtimes, and it may not use the one you want it to use. For example, Eclipse may want to use the outdated JRE that came with your browser instead of the brand new Java SDK you've just downloaded. You can specify what Java runtime you want Eclipse to use by selecting Window→ Preferences, selecting Installed JREs, and selecting the one you want, as shown in Figure 2-18 (use the Add button to add JREs and SDKs).
Figure 2-18. Selecting a JRE

Old news
Study only serves to remind us that women still lack a significant voice in major media
By Ellen Snortland 04/29/2010
A recent report underscores what most females in the media "biz" already know: Gender inequality in media, even among the most respected news outlets, is very real. At National Public Radio, which first reported on these disparities, only 26 percent of on-air sources are female. Overall, women make up just 19 percent of experts in news media and are writing fewer than 25 percent of op-ed pieces. Men still get the lion's share of attention as experts, subjects and commentators, yet 50 percent of the readers and listeners are women.
Attention readers and listeners, aka consumers. It's imperative that you work with us to generate a demand for our presence! This is both a constitutional and under-employment issue.
Have you noticed that women's voices are practically MIA in print, TV or in radio? Does this bother you? It really should. Ideally, a democracy reflects its citizenry; the Bill of Rights is based on a free press. However, women are still WAY under-represented in the media, in all forms, and it's destructive for the careers of female journalists. It's also anti-intellectual and it's downright deleterious to continue marginalizing or completely ignoring the richness and depth of the pool of female journalists who may be invisible, but who are still out there struggling.
Chances are if you're reading this, you appreciate that the PW has featured me as a rather loud and consistent voice for a long time. My editor might cut this part out, but, really, hats off to Kevin Uhrich, who openly acknowledges he would not be in journalism without the brilliance and strength of at least five influential female mentors. He has in turn mentored countless others, providing a vital platform for a vast diversity and accurate reflection of our community, including women of all ages. This is a unique situation.
NPR merely came out with a new study featuring old results. If they were to focus on gender combined with ageism, they'd find out women my age are basically "extinct" from the broadcast jungle. When I was younger, I was a pundit on a humorous news show on KNBC that had a brief run. I got the job because I was funny and glamorous. I fit the typical broadcast situation: the grandpa-age anchor with the hot granddaughter-age co-anchor. Alas, I'm more a grandma type now, and virtually unemployable.
Meanwhile, I was distraught at the recent news of syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman's retirement. Hey, maybe I'll get picked up by more papers now. Hey syndicators … are you missing an Ellen? Here I am!
Ms. Goodman and I — a nonretired columnist for the Pasadena Weekly and some national blogs (Huffington Post and Ms. Magazine) — have a few things in common. We are unabashed progressives; are ardent supporters of, and have big mouths for, issues affecting women and girls; we're often humorous; we talk straight and … drum roll please … we have the same first name.
We are also very different. I'm West Coast; she's East Coast. She sometimes wrote about motherhood and parenting; I don't have any kids.
A few years back, I submitted a column to a newspaper editor who'd already run my column to great response. He called himself a "fan." Then, after my fifth submission, I didn't hear back from him. I called to follow up, and he said he couldn't use me because "we already run an 'Ellen' in our paper." Stunned at his response, I had no witty come-back. I managed to stammer, "OK, thanks," and hung up. Later, of course, I kicked myself for NOT asking, "Do you also have a No-Two-Columns-by-Johns policy?" Really?
I later told Goodman about his response. She laughed and said, "Oh yeah, a lot of these guys — and yes, they are usually guys — say they are against a quota system, but they actually have one: a quota of one. And in this case, not only was it only one 'Ellen,' probably it also meant no other women."
So, the upshot of this is that we don't know much about so-called women's issues because we have a lack of women writing and talking about them. By the way, "women's issues" is really a misnomer since they are squarely human issues, but you get my point.
And while organizations like the Women's Media Center (womensmediacenter.com) is doing its best to put more progressive women's voices into the news pipelines, it'd be a lot more impactful if news consumers would let mainstream media decision-makers know they want more women's points of view. News flash! We don't all think and analyze the same way, just like men! We have different takes and views on things, and you deserve to hear them and we deserve to work.
Speaking of gender, the American Association of University Women has rated our very own Congressman Adam Schiff as perfect in his voting record for advancing the progress of women and girls. Go Adam!
Also, if you attend the Doo Dah Parade this Saturday, look for my "Thwop" parade entry. You will see the Little Red Riding Hood story re-imagined. … My, what a big head you have!

I read with amusement the article about building a gazebo at Oakwood Cemetery. I can't think of a better place to have a reunion or other kind of party since it will open to the public.
The biggest problem I have with it is I have to drive down from Austin to care for my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents' graves, all of whom paid for perpetual care, since the association cannot afford full time help to maintain the property.
Maybe the money for a gazebo could be put to better use of having the property cleaned completely for the first time in a long time. Or perhaps just turn all the funds they have over to the county, and let the county take care of it.

PHILADELPHIA – Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine are conducting studies on an experimental medication to block nerve damage and inflammation in the brain that can lead to progressive memory loss and behavioral changes in people with Alzheimer's disease. Current Alzheimer's disease therapies focus on improving symptoms rather than attacking the root of the disease progression.
The buildup of plaques can trigger inflammation in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). A protein called amyloid beta builds up in plaque deposits and may promote damage to nerve cells. Researchers across the country will test an experimental drug that seeks to stop amyloid beta from binding to a particular receptor in the brain. This receptor, called RAGE, (receptor for advanced glycation endproducts), is believed to prompt an inflammatory reaction and has been linked to several chronic diseases, including Alzheimer's and diabetes. Douglas Galasko, M.D., Professor of Neurology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), is directing the study.
"The evidence from basic research studies is compelling and merits further evaluation in a rigorous human clinical trial," Galasko said. "While most current Alzheimer's disease therapies focus on the various symptoms of cognitive impairment, this trial is testing whether we can modify actual progression of the disease itself by targeting the interaction between amyloid beta and an important receptor in the brain." The study will recruit the 400 volunteers aged 50 and up at 40 sites nationwide, including the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. The drug, which has been tested in animals and in preliminary human studies, is being studied in this Phase II clinical trial to determine if it will slow the progressive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease.
"In addition to monitoring disease progression through cognitive tests, we will examine various biological markers of the disease," said Jason Karlawish, M.D., local principal investigator and Associate Director of the Memory Disorders Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania. "These include the degree of atrophy (or shrinkage) of the brain as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the extent of amyloid buildup in the brain assessed by Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging, and levels of amyloid beta and other proteins in blood and spinal fluid."
Physicians and nurses will monitor the participants during regular visits and measure the severity and progression of disease using standard tests of functional and cognitive abilities. To ensure unbiased results, neither the researchers conducting the trial nor the participants will know who is receiving the study drug and who is getting the placebo.
The industry-sponsored study is being conducted by the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS), a consortium of leading researchers supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of National Institutes of Health (NIH). The ADCS at UCSD will coordinate the 18-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The ADCS consortium is a public resource, supported by the NIA, to facilitate the study of potential new therapies for Alzheimer's disease. Its nationwide outreach is critical to the recruitment of participants into such studies.
"Progress in treating and preventing Alzheimer's would just not be possible without the dedication of the patients and families who volunteer for clinical trials," said Neil Buckholtz, Ph.D., chief of the NIA Dementias of Aging Branch.
Much of the preclinical, basic research connecting RAGE to amyloid beta that led to the current study was performed by scientists at Columbia University, the University of Perugia in Italy and the University of Magdeburg in Germany.

CrimeStoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to arrest of attempted murder suspect Justin Wynn Klein on Kauai.
A grand jury has indicted Klein, 37, in connection with the attempted murder of a Japanese visitor in the Kalalau Valley in December.
Bail on the warrant is set at $1 million.
"We ask the public to remain vigilant in locating Klein as our officers continue their search for him," stated Kauai Police Chief Darryl Perry. "There is an attempted murder suspect still at-large and we want to find him and bring him to justice."
Police have followed up on numerous tips received since the incident occurred, but the searches failed to turn up any sign of the homeless suspect.
As incoming tips have dwindled in recent weeks, KPD is issuing this reminder in hopes of reigniting public awareness.
A witness reported seeing Klein throw a 31-year-old Japanese visitor from a cliff in the Kalalau Valley on the afternoon of Sunday, Dec. 16.
The female victim was transported to Wilcox Hospital in critical condition, where she remained for 10 days before being released to her family who escorted the woman home.
Klein is 6-feet-1-inch-tall, with brown hair in a Mohawk style, possibly a moustache and beard, and a band tattoo around his left arm.

I can't be more excited about the start of my junior golf camps.
One of the highlights of the camp for me is having some time to teach these kids how to improve their short game. The short game is the most important part of golf because a majority of shots take place on or around the green.
One mistake I see a lot -- especially from kids -- is failing to square the putter. On short putts, some beginners just step up to the ball and putt it, failing to notice they are not properly aligned.
This drill, which I call "Down the line," is designed to help people learn to square the putter face and roll the ball straight.
Using string I set up five lanes of different widths. The widest is two feet and the tightest is three inches. All but the 3-inch lane are 15 feet long; the 3-inch lane is 6 feet long.
Placing a ball in the middle of the lane, try to putt the ball from one end to the other without allowing the ball to touch the string.
If your putter face isn't square, you probably won't be able to do it. This is especially the case on the more challenging 6-inch and 3-inch lanes.

WOW… and I thought I was the only one that hated the show…
That show set the Gay (since there were no LBT's) movement back 10 years… it was an embarrassment.
The whole bar scene sucked… that was the ugliest bar with the ugliest men I have ever seen. But I tell u what… for a small town gay bar on a wednesday night it was busy… there are gay bars in big cities that do not get half that crowd on a friday let alone a wednesday.
The Drag Queens of the world should file suit…
The bar was loaded with predators
A bunch of 17 yo's getting in the bar… cut me a break.
as was stated… about Karofsky… to suggest that the only place he can find friends is at a bar is crazy. Yes it is hard to come out in High School… But this plot sucks.
I think the most bazaar parts dealt with Artie… Him giving sex advise to a teacher??? plus telling to students to go have sex???
This will be the last year for Glee… It is easy to see why ratings are down
It would have been nice if every single time they kissed, that Kurt didn't push Blaine away or break the kiss.
I'm sorry, but I still get zero chemistry between those two. Oddly enough I felt more chemistry between Kurt and his former bully in the 45 seconds they were on screen together than I get from Kurt and Blaine.
Also, maybe I'm wrong…but yes, we ALL get that Kurt is gay, and yes we all get that Kurt is somewhat feminine….but…a dewy meadow strewn with Lilac? Really? I wasn't aware that Kurt was a 45 year old women board with her marriage reading a tacky romance novel.
"throw us a bone" How old are you? While the actors may be older than the characters they're playing, the show is still set in high school. Way to perpetuate a stereotype, Queerty, while chastising those meth ads in a latter post.
Shorter Queerty:
Male adults complaining about the lack of sexual content between gay male high-school age characters: Okay.
Male adult preying on high-school age male in ad campaign against meth use: Not okay.
And the show massacred West Side Story.
When a Reviewer like a show that say positive things… The person who wrote this said many negative things,,, I will just cut and paste a few…
apparently had sex last night in the episode
We say "apparently" because we can't in good faith swear to you that the deed was done.
we couldn't help but hope that Ryan Murphy and Co. might throw us a bone, if you will. But what we got was milder than warm milk.
Then the Warblers, Blaine's old fairly flamboyant a cappella group, pops up to sing "Uptown Girl" in matching jackets and ties, as if it would balance things out with a classic ode to heterosexual attraction.
Blaine and Kurt reunite in the hallway a bit later to talk about being adventurous, and Kurt reveals that he once wanted to "have relations on a dewy meadow of lilac with Taylor Lautner before he gets fat."
Cheers to that, girlfriend. Cheers to that. (WOW… SOMETHING THE REVIEWER LIKES)
we just worry that a 17-year-old who only feels accepted at a bar might be headed for some alcohol-dependency issues…. (I AGREE!!)
the kids perform West Side Story, with Rachel as Maria, Blaine as Tony and a rousing rendition of "America" with accents that are only slightly offensive.
If the reviewer like the show he should have said more positives and less negativies
I, personally, think they did a great job presenting it to a young audience. It's in the 8:00 hour with millions of tweens and teens watching. It's not necessary to exude any more sexuality than they did. They smothered it in romance, which is EXACTLY what kids that age can digest. I'm glad they confronted this subject and did it gracefully. Kids aren't dumb…if they want sex, they'll find porn.
Nice Job, Glee!!
I liked the episode. Of course it was a disappointment that it was hyped up to be this controversial, sexed up, goodbye to virginity theme- but in the end, I thought it was sweet. Not an "Ooooooh" but an "Awwwww."
I can't wait for the Rumor Has It/Someone Like You mashup next week. Back when Gwyneth took a $h!+ on Turning Tables, then Rachel/Jonathan butchered Rolling In The Deep, I said "No one should cover Adele…except maybe Santana." I think she'll do it well :)
If I hadn't know they were supposed to have sex this episode I don't think I would have realized that did from what I saw. That goes for both couples. And why were all the drag queens from the 80s? The best part was Kurt and his bully interacting as usual.
Dear Blaine,
Your freaking triangular eye brows are just getting creepy at this point. Please STOP
@Pip: Blaine is just generally creepy, imho. And per a previous astute comment re the lack of chemistry between Kurt and Blaine, maybe it's because Kurt is such a generally off-putting little screechy gay, and Blaine is played by a straight guy. In any case, the sexual tension is like, not.
@JAW: "If the reviewer like the show he should have said more positives and less negativies"
The episode. They gave negative (+ positive, btw) comments about the episode, not the entire show. When you said that you apparently weren't the only one who hated this show, it kind of insinuated that the author hated the show Glee in general.
I am not generally a big fan of the show as I don't think that it is written or paced well. But regardless, I thought that this was an amazing episode. Well written, well acted, and with the enjoyable twist of a love triangle. And BTW, the bar is supposed to be underwhelming, as they all live in Ohio. The only thing I didn't care for was the presence of drag queens. They didn't add anything to the story and made the bar, and by extension, our 2 protagonists a bit freakish.
God only knows what show "Evanb" is watching, but Criss and Colfer have great chemistry. And Criss comes to the role with a passion that was sorely lacking in other straight actors playing gay roles. Evanb, if you think Darren Criss is "creepy" then be prepared to live your life forever alone, since your standards are completely out of whack.
Remember the ambivalence of the second rate actor who played the ridiculously unrealistic gay character in Dawson's Creek? That clown was never comfortable playing that character and even felt the need to denounce his own on-screen kiss with another male. Contrast that with Darren Criss, who not only looks comfortable embracing Colfer in bed, but makes you look forward to seeing what happens next (even if the show doesn't give us that privilege).
Eventually, this show will fade as does everything on TV. But there is no question that this show has made history and has raised the bar for the portrayal of gay people, and in particular gay teens.
Glee is aimed at a young audience not jaded gay men…..like me! The point of the montage between Rachel/Finn/ Kurt/Blaine was to put two gay teens 1st sexual experience(at least with each other) on an equal footing as two hetero teens; not to make some exploitative sex scene. This is a hugh deal. Do people not understand we just had 2 gay teenagers do it on primetime tv and given equal treatment! It was awesome!
@DTR You summed it up best. Again it's a smaller town, HSS don't have to be in a bar to show signs of alcohol dependence….
LOL… The topic (or is this a thread?) was last nights show (u used episode) The topic (or is this a thread?) was not about the entire series (U used show)
Is that any clearer… or are u still confused????
Again… The thread was about last nights show… not the entire series. There was no confusion about what the author was talking about… he did not talk about the series… he talked about the show that was on last evening… I responded to what he talked about last nights show… I was not talking about the series.
I'm a 15 year old gay teen, and let me just say that for the demographic this episode is aimed at, i.e ME and other teens, this was more than enough. Even seeing blaine and kurt kiss, TWICE, in one episode, when they haven't kissed since way back in season 2, was more than enough. Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly sheltered, i've seen much more graphic scenes than kissing, as has any teenage male, but to us teenagers, this episode, minus the icky pushy blaine part, was perfect, adorable, incredibly cute, and BLAINE LOOKED SO HOT DANCING :)
I think it is hilarious how sanitized it ended up compared to all the hype. It sort of reminded me of their alcohol awareness episode, in that the plot made no sense in order for the author to push their POV.
from Andrew Sullivan.
Alyssa Rosenberg analyzes the milestone:
"The show was very careful to equate Kurt and Blaine and Rachel and Finn, shooting both couples in essentially similar positions of repose, clasping hands the same way, and similarly clothed. In a way, I think it's more useful to make the couples as similar as possible, rather than focusing on the mechanical differences between the way they're going to get down. Given that conservative stereotypes about gay men in particular focus on the idea that gay people are promiscuous and emotionally detached, TENDERNESS IS MORE CONFRONTATIONAL TO THOSE BELIEFS THAN ACTUALLY SHOOTING A SEX SCENE."
I cracked up at the end because I pictured the very last half-second of screentime to flash from Blaine & Kurt ('Blurt?') doing their very G-rated clothed cuddle to just the raunchiest, porniest gay sex seen ever snuck into broadcast television. Like, Kurt's knees over Blaine's shoulders, Blaine pounding away, screaming, sweating, pictures falling off the wall, headboard smoking– but only for such a split second, so it hits the audience like a sucker-punch from a ninja.
@ian : Yes! You (and the almost-always spot on Alyssa Rosenbeg) nailed why the episode broke ground on US network TV: it' s the affection and tenderness that frightens the right wingers. Two guys 'in love' doing what people do when they feel that way; nothing salacious or tawdry. And no santorum in sight!
@Peter: thanks Peter. Its nice to get the prospective of an actual gay teenager.
We should make a new set of "it gets better" videos, re: sex.
Looking bad, I was one lousy lay at 16. Thought I was hot shit,
of course. But yeah.. to the youngin's here: It get's better.
Much better. :)
Sorry, it was hardly an invitation, that scene was borderline attempted rape, and frankly, beyond offensive. So Kurt sleeps with some guy less than 24 hours after he gets him jealous, humiliates him, screams at him, and violently tries to have sex with him in the back of a car? The writing is so bad! Terrible. If the goal was to have teens have no standards, objectify themselves, and lower their self esteem, congratulations, success! That line Rachel had about giving Finn something she could never give anyone else… loathsome. I normally like the show, but what tasteless trash. So bad this week! And if you watch shows for explicitly sexual material, sorry, but buy romance novels or something, but stories should have substance and a goal to make a change, and really, this won't inspire positive change. The message was belittle your partner into having sex, and for audiences, make them feel their virginity is way more important than it actually is. Awful…
im not gay but i do have gay friends of both types promiscuos and normal, and i found this episode extremely well executed. it show a promiscuos gay teen(bad obviously) and a loving gay couple(good) and even when the temptation appeared the good prevailed. im not a great fan of the show or a glee fanatic in anyway but i find the subtletly in both "sex scenes" to be appropiate.
i dont find pleasure in watching two guys have sex, and lets not forget it's an 8:00 pm show that is watched by kids. the only problem is that it wasnt really clear what happened, it looked like a cuddle to me on both finn/rachel and blaine/kurt they could have been more explicit without pushing a lot of boundaries like showing rachel hugging finn from the top without the bra or something like that. nothing too weird or "sexual" just to get the message across.
if you wanted more maybe you should just watch porn or something.
for all i care i hope the gay thing is kinda over, they just burn it too much over the last season and this one. we got it, kurt is gay, do you need to keep repeating that every episode. hope this "triangle" brings some drama to this whole relationship. coz ive seen it happen IRL and its not pretty. lots of icecream and revenge, two things i like
The only thing I would have liked to see is Blaine discussing protection the way Finn and Rachel did…. because It should be very important for Ryan Murphy to broadcast the fact that GAY TEENS need to use protection just as much as straight teens
@Godiva: said…

Comments like this are why there are still people that do not take rape allegations seriously.
Boarderline attempted rape? You need to get over your issues. Violently? You sound like one of those crazy girls in college running around screaming that all men are rapists.
Hey, "Glee" isn't "Queer As Folk".
For their audience, and for squemish parents, I thought that the entire episode was done well.
Ok, they didn't show full blown, gay-boy ass fucking, but I'm not sure I wanted to see Chris do that anyways. Especially not in a musical.
@JAW: Agreed. This show is a piece of crap. Should be on LOGO.
@ian: thank you so much for posting the Andrew Sullivan blog excerpt: I couldn't agree more.
And @QUEERTY, could you be more salacious if you tried? your point being ? . . . . : "No drawing of straws to determine who would be the bottom? (Though we're fairly certain it's Blaine who would be doing the pinning of the tail on Kurt's donkey.) No discussion of safety words or proper lubrication? (It would've been beyond our wildest dreams to imagine the cameras zooming in on a half-gallon bottle of Wet Platinum Premium as Blaine reassures Kurt, "it doesn't have to hurt, babe.")"

Geezus, you jaded old queens. Its a show designed for teenagers. I would have loved to have had a show like this when I was in high school. Instead I got The A-Team and Dallas. STFU already and go watch re-runs of Queer as Folk if you want to see soft-core porn.
@Joe: 100% agree
I like that they focused on the closeness of the act. A little more smooching wouldn't have hurt. ;-P
I thought that overall, it was handled incredibly delicately and sweetly, but yeah, it was a little bit on the tame side. Come on, not even a kiss at the end there?? Would've liked to see Colfer show a bit more skin too :)))) He's gorgeous, not sure why the show tries to tell me he's not.
Oh, and regarding that last line, let's not put the guy who threatened to kill Kurt anywhere near him, hm? Talk about skeevy!
How unrealistic (and icky) do they dress the gays on this show? I'm gay and it just creeps me out; I can't imagine how it turns-off straights.
The gays are so bowtied, pinked, short-panted, ladies clothing wearing and makeuped, that I don't want straights seeing it. Where are the real gays on this show? An occasional flair is appreciated, a constant flair is blinding.
@Ronbo – I think Korofosky was wearing a baseball cap. Happy now?
The clip of Darren Criss shaking it to Roxy Music was hotter! Please show that!
My first time with my man I'd never heard of this "top" or "bottom" bullshit. We just frotted, kissed, touched each others dicks. I hate all this queer cliquey bullshit. It makes gay into some kind of fucking interest group with rules and regulations in order to fit in. I like men, I don't need a fucking rule book to do that and anal isn't the only way to have sex. As for top and bottom, we do both, among lots of other sexual exploration. It's time for gay to start looking like an actual sexual preference and not a subculture.

School boards not scapegoatsJanuary 23,2014
Dear Gov. Shumlin: Your directive to look to school board members to contain spending and address ever-increasing tax hikes flies in the face of what
you extol as our common set of values: community, hard work and fairness. The complexity and manipulations of our funding formula, the rising tide of mandates, the contraction of our economy and the concentration of education funding
burdening are the root causes of the untenable situation many taxpayers face. When your grand action to right the ship is to throw community members and carefully developed school budgets under the bus instead of tackling real reform, you do not reflect any of these values.
At the education funding symposium last week, it was acknowledged that many of our legislators dont even understand our education funding system. Many taxpayers dont either. As some panelists at the symposium noted, the complexity of our system is a problem. There is total obfuscation of clear measures of efficiency that undermines peoples ability to gain insight into costs and their reasonableness relative to other schools. The initiation of any meaty dialogue on efficiency or lack thereof would have to cover how we arent measured on actual spending per actual student but by a derivative construct of the funding formula with highly manipulated equalized pupil counts and net revenues that vary tremendously by town, based upon poverty and access to other grants.
Add to those highly confusing elements of our system the lack of knowledge of the ins and outs of federal and state mandates, teacher contracts, and special education obligations, and town meeting is the very last place where real efforts to promote cost-effective delivery of quality education should rest. Given the circumstances, the only opportunity to improve on school board members difficult public service work would involve constructive reform from you, the House and Senate and our new secretary of education.
Lets get down to facing brutal facts. Whether a school board is disciplined and right-sizes staff or not, taxes will go up significantly. Last year, a real and representative example in our supervisory union of a budget increase of 2.2 percent translated to a 9.2 percent tax increase. In recent years, budgets held to zero growth or even contracting resulted in higher taxes nonetheless.
The reason is that no matter how much restraint a school community and its school board show locally, other districts spend more and the burden of taxation continues to grow. The variety of factors that feed into the tax rate formula that fall outside of local spending choices substantially limits the local means to stop, or even for voters to comprehend, the rising tide of taxes. Our funding formula has created a full-blown tragedy of the commons, and you and our legislators need to fix that problem.
Regardless of how spending is driven ever upward by the formula itself, spending increases are most often not resulting from local profligacy. The biggest driver of cost increases is unfunded state and federal mandates, including recent ones that you and the Legislature have sent our way. Common core implementation, multiple learning pathways, added staffing for events where concussions might occur, early education universal choice the list goes on. While in some instances you have managed to obtain federal funds for students in poverty and for special-needs populations, there are no new revenue sources for delivering these services for the rest of the population. There was plenty of frustration on this count expressed at the symposium as well, and it cant be news to you how your choices impact these budgets.
One cant be honest about the challenges of education funding in Vermont without facing the other brutal fact that our leadership is allowing for the increasing concentration of education cost burdening. Our state tops the list on education funding tax burdening, and the impact on a third of our taxpayers is truly unsustainable. Your remarks on transfers from the general fund and minor increases in other funding sources ignore the reductions made in the recent past and the withdrawals from the education fund to meet corrections obligations. Simply put, too few people pay far too much.
Many people cant afford to stay here or cant justify the premiums to live here when making a good living is so challenging and the chance to save so greatly reduced. Our levels of property taxes, on top of income and other taxes, make it very hard for people to save for college or retirement or live here during retirement. The pain and frustration that is felt by some in our communities is amply reflected at town meeting, and it is justified. While the funding formula systemically undermines restraint through a tragedy of the commons, it then concentrates the burden of education funding on a mobile segment of our society to the point that we risk their very presence here. Seriously, we should be conducting exit interviews.
These are real problems that come to roost for school board members who work very hard to make every dollar count for children across Vermont. Suggesting that increased costs and unreasonable tax increases result from unobserved school boards and folks not engaging in budget reviews on Town Meeting Day is insulting and patently misleading.
Rather than pitting community member against community member, what we need from you, the Legislature and the Agency of Education is management and accountability for actual spending in education delivery, simplification of the funding formula, incentives that reward cost-containment efforts, and real insight into how to optimize staffing and outcomes while fulfilling our state and federal mandates.
School board members should not be your scapegoats for real problems, while you avoid doing the work of championing and delivering constructive reform.
Every year that you, your team and legislators in Montpelier fail to act, you further divide our communities and make the job of delivering top-quality education across Vermont more difficult. We respect the recent work of Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson on the matter at hand. We look forward to the leadership of Secretary Rebecca Holcombe.
We hope that with these resources, we can finally see the leadership and reform we so desperately need.
The question that remains for us, given your very disturbing remarks on the subject, is whether you will leverage your team and have an impact, or just pass the buck yet again.

I wanted to night wean. My bed is playground/battlefield and my nipples are the victims. Not to mention my sleep. So I thought Id try it last night and ...well... he just didnt really make that much of a fuss when I said no the three times he woke up. He just sort of meowed for a while and then rolled off into the corner clutching the bottle that Ive never let him have before.
So 4 hours later when I woke at 7am I pulled him to me to cuddle and feed him...and he didnt want it. He struggled away and jumped up to bounce, and I saw our cosy mornings of snuggly nursing slip away.
All day I was offering it to him and over analysing...'Does he look less interested? Is this the end? What have I done?' Now im worrying that he wont be getting enough milk, and my supply will drop, because Im not feeding him those 6 feeds during the night.
God, I dont know.... Im ranting and it was only one night and maybe tonight will be different.
Am I just upset that it was too easy and my egos bruised that he doesnt need me as much as I thought he did? This is what I wanted...Isnt it?

CARY – The Cary Police Department has won state and national highway safety awards, the department said in a news release.
Cary placed first in its category in the Illinois Traffic Safety Challenge – a statewide highway safety recognition program sponsored by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police.
The program rates law enforcement agencies in the state relative to how agencies addressed issues through policies, officer training, recognition programs, public education, enforcement and effectiveness.
The department will receive the Illinois Traffic Safety Challenge Award at a highway safety breakfast in Tinley Park on Aug. 22, as part of a the Midwest Police Security Expo.
Cary also will receive a National Law Enforcement Challenge award, in a program coordinated by the International Association Chiefs of Police. The award program is the natonwide version of the Illinois challenge.
More than 400 departments applied for the award. Cary also was selected as the 2011-12 rookie of the year, given to the top first-time entry in the competition.
The awards will be presented at the International Association Chiefs of Police annual conference in September in San Diego.
"This recognition is for the entire Cary Police Department," Police Chief Steven Casstevens said in a news release. "This was a team effort and there were contributions to this program from throughout the agency. The bottom line is that our goal is to make Cary a safer place to live, work and drive. We want to get people to slow down, drive sober, buckle up and drive safely. We are extremely honored to receive this recognition from both the state and national associations."

By Jack King
The board of the Eastern New Mexico Rural Water Authority has begun the process of hiring a director for the Ute Reservoir pipeline project.
A search committe will publish a request for proposals for the job next week with a deadline to receive applications of Aug. 1.
The committee will make recommendations at an Aug. 20 board meeting and the board will interview candidates at a special meeting in late August or early September, members said.
The search committee is composed of Clovis Mayor David Lansford, board members Darrell Bostwick of Melrose and Calvin Litchfield of Tucumcari, Doug Murray of the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission and Miguel Rocha of the Bureau of Reclamation.
Scott Verhines of The Louis Berger Group Inc., an Albuquerque engineering firm that has been helping write the authority's conceptual design report, suggested the board might want to hire a firm that could offer a package of services, managing the project as well as providing engineering and environmental protection services.
But Murray said the authority should hire an individual, because he or she would be more accountable to the board. Also, several people in the audience, including Marsha Carra, an environmental protection specialist with the Bureau of Reclamation, and engineers from Boyle Engineering Corporation and CH2MHill Engineering, said having the same company do engineering and environmental services could lead to real or perceived conflicts of interest.
Elsewhere, the ENMRWA protested the reallocation by the Bureau of Reclamation of $250,000, the full amount of the bureau's fiscal year 2002-2003 contribution to the ENMRWA.
Lansford said Wednesday he has sent a letter to U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, asking his help in having the reallocation reviewed.
Miguel Rocha, a planning team member with the Bureau of Reclamation, said the ENMRWA still has $400,000 from previous allocations and the bureau felt it would not spend the $250,000 this year.
Rocha said that, since 1998 the bureau has allocated $1.3 million to the Ute Lake water distribution project, approximately $400,000 of which has been spent on engineering services.
"We still need that money," Lansford replied.

Berlin board punts ambulance decision
BERLIN — The high-stakes battle for Berlin's ambulance business remains unresolved after the Select Board refused to declare a winner this week and took the matter under advisement for the second time in less than a month.
After listening to brief presentations from two of the bidders and quizzing the third at length, board members agreed they weren't ready to make a decision that basically boils down to a choice between maintaining business as usual and fueling the birth of a brand new ambulance service.
"I'd certainly like to digest the information for awhile," Selectman Pete Kelley said after listening to presentations from the town's current ambulance provider, its volunteer fire department, and the man behind an intriguing no-cost offer that dominated discussion Monday night.
Kelley didn't get any argument from the rest of the board, as members unanimously agreed to table action on the matter until their April 1 meeting. A decision is expected at that time.

This week the notorious cargo train that carries migrants symbolically rerouted itself right into Mexico City's center–and the national spotlight. Over a thousand hungry, exhausted (mostly) Hondurans in need of international aid (and with a list of human rights demands) arrived at Mexico's political doorstep, and knocked hard. Then they kept moving. Because their needs weren't going to be met if they weren't met in that moment. The purpose of the caravan being not solely to visibilize their realities, but to survive. The Migrant Viacrucis Caravan's stop in Mexico City was not just a demand for justice; it was part of a longer, need-driven journey for a better life. The message being at once political and humanitarian.
Venturing down to the march from Los Pinos late on Wednesday afternoon, Arturo and I didn't really know what we were getting into. Later I realized that I hadn't been ready for what we found. By the time we reached the march, most participants had stopped and were resting–looking weary. They hadn't eaten since early that morning. The invisibility of this population which passes daily from Central America and across Mexico had never been made so visible in Mexico City, the center of Mexican government, international institutions and a general Mexican population who rarely have contact with Central American migrants in transit.
There at the march, Arturo and I met up with several Casa Refugiados volunteers, who made it clear that more help would be needed later to assist in the reception of this massive caravan at CAFEMIN, the largest (but not big enough) of the migrant shelters in Mexico City. So with a renewed sense of urgency and purpose, we headed back to the Casa to collect clothes and food donations and then went directly to the shelter.
I don't think any of us were prepared for what we experienced next.
Arriving to CAFEMIN with a taxi full of donations, we piled out and got ready to help in any way possible. The caravan had arrived just before us, in need of food, water, medical attention, bathrooms, clothes/shoes and rest. This was a huge task for a shelter that is used to accommodating less than 50 migrants/refugees/asylum seekers (and receiving even less) at a time.
Stepping into CAFEMIN, this is what we saw.
At this point, almost all of the migrants had been able to eat and rest. Next we volunteered ourselves in the clothing donations room, sorting clothes while an interminable line of migrants peered through the windows as they waited for a change of clothes and maybe socks if they were lucky. The people waiting to be let in were shut out, watching as donations dwindled and as time passed we had to rush people through to get everyone back on the buses on time. The men would not be sleeping at CAFEMIN, space and resources were too scarce. The Mexico City government would transport them to a gymnasium nearby for everyone to sleep. Later, a truck of mattress pads and blankets would arrive for the women and children who stayed behind. There were even children that appeared to be unaccompanied by any adult. Before closing for the night, everyone made a line and registered themselves in a roll-call type procedure. Below, the frenzy brought upon for a change of clothes.
Every once in a while, a transcendent collision with humanity knocks us off our feet. We are left with a primordial sense of coexistence, codependence, with the billions of other human beings who inhabit this earth. Most often when this happens it occurs suddenly; in a rapid manifestation of kindness or appreciation, a lightning bolt of unexpected love or affection. Although these manifestations are available to us constantly, they tend to go unnoticed, and so when for whatever reason we are hit with the reality of our collective existence, it is felt all the more intensely.
In this case, it took the forced displacement of people, in the form of massive migration–to unite the many realities into one of great need, and great suffering. This transnational crisis forces us to bare witness to the vulnerability of others on this earth, and though it may be an impossible challenge, we have to attempt to process it.

Thanks for all your support, Nava! Love all the great info you provide on your Web site!
School Lunch in a Bento Box: Fun and Earth-Friendly
How I wish these contemporary bento boxes were available when my sons were growing up! I stood there in the kitchen at 6:30 a.m. every school day for 14 years, packing healthy, but for the most part boring lunches. My sons were vegetarian until ages 10 and 12, then vegan, and never wanted to buy lunch at school. They would have loved these Laptop Lunch kits, I'm sure, and I would have loved using them.
These ingenious bento box lunch kits can help your child enjoy his or her homemade lunches, and help you enjoy making them! Older kids and teens will eventually be inspired to make their own lunches in these colorful kits. And lest you think, "oh, no, unhealthy plastic!" these containers are safe in every way, including being BPA-free.
If you like the idea of having your school lunch info in one neat package, you might enjoy VegKitchen's affordable, 47-page e-book (available in an instant pdf and in other electronic formats. These recipes and ideas (more than 50 in total) will make the task of making school lunch for kids who are vegetarian or vegan a bit easier and even more fun. The recipes here will also be useful for those following dairy-free diets due to allergy or intolerance. For more information, go to Healthy School Lunches: Recipes and Ideas.*
One of the wonderful things about the company that makes Laptop Lunches is that it grew from the conversations of two new moms (that would be Amy and Tammy, back in 1995)—who shared an interest in nutrition, fitness and the environment. From the Laptop Lunches site: "It has been estimated that on average a school-age child using a disposable lunch generates 67 pounds of waste per school year. That equates to 18,760 pounds of lunch waste for just one average-size elementary school."
Here are just a few sample lunch ideas from their site, which I've linked with some recipes on VegKitchen. The possibilities are truly endless, and you'll find tons of other ideas in the menu library on the Laptop Lunches site.
Sliced Asian Pears and dip
Spicy Asian mix
Simple Sesame Soba Noodles
Steamed spinach
Butternut Squash and Apple Soup
Sliced kiwi fruit
Whole grain crackers and toasted almonds
Brown rice
Your favorite simple cole slaw
Sliced bananas
Vegan Macaroni and Cheese
Diced butternut squash
Classic Vegetarian Chili
Lightly steamed snow peas with dip
Whole-grain crackers
Seedless orange
These bento boxes aren't just for kids! Adults who would like to save money, calories, and the environment can trade in their brown bags as well. Laptop Lunches also offers bento kits for taking to the office.
I can't say enough about the entire concept behind Laptop Lunches — it's veg-friendly, environmentally conscious, and makes lunch fun, economical, and nutritious for everyone involved. These products are made in the U.S. Visit the Laptop Lunches site to shop online for their wide array of bento lunch box systems as well as other attractive, waste-free products like thermoses, lunch jars, and drink bottles. And how smart of them to offer a free e-book with orders, titled Go Bento: 101 Lunchbox Menus for Busy People.
