Jackson Center to host Young Readers Program
JAMESTOWN – The Robert H. Jackson Center will host award-winning author Karen Levine and Sophia from the Holocaust Resource Center in Buffalo during its Young Readers Program May 7-8. Now in its ninth year, the event will involve hundreds of local students, as well as educators and statewide essay contest winners and their families.
Levine's award-winning book, "Hana's Suitcase," is the centerpiece of this year's program. Reaching over three continents, the story connects Hana Brady, a young Jewish girl who was murdered at Auschwitz; a Japanese curator determined to share her story; and Hana's brother in Canada. A tale of perseverance and hope, it combines history with a modern day detective story, and challenges young readers around issues of racism, resistance, activism and tolerance.
"Hana's Suitcase" is the subject of a statewide book review essay contest for students in grades 5-8, co-sponsored by the Law, Youth & Citizenship Program of the New York State Bar Association. The essay contest winners will be recognized at a dinner program on May 7 at the Jackson Center featuring Sophia, a Jewish resident of Holland during World War II who will bring insight and reflection into the Nazi campaign that resulted in the deaths of nearly six million Jews.
The pasta dinner is open to the public, and students are especially encouraged to attend.
Tickets for the May 7 dinner program are $10 per person, with a limited number of advance complimentary tickets available to students courtesy of the Red Cross.
On May 8, Levine will meet with more than 400 students in two sessions at the Robert H. Jackson Center to talk about her book and to answer student's questions. Through the Center's distance learning capabilities, both programs will be webcast and video-conferenced live into area school districts to allow hundreds of additional students the opportunity to participate.
Sponsors for the event include the New York State Bar Association Law, Youth & Citizenship Program, Ahlstrom-Schaeffer, Cattaraugus County Bank, Chautauqua Patrons Insur-ance, Double A Vineyards, Evans Liquors, Hope's Windows, Jamestown Matt-ress, Lake Shore Savings, Mr. & Mrs. Michael Metzger, Red Cross, Serta Mattress and Shults Management Group.
The Center is located at 305 E. Fourth St., Jamestown. Tours are available from 10 a.m.4 p.m., MondayFriday and Satur-days from 10 a.m.2 p.m.
For additional information about this or other events, contact the Jackson Center at 483-6646 or visit www.roberthjackson.org.

Holiday Smokey Eyes
With the Holidays surrounding us, I've been getting quite a few requests to do a Holiday look. I've seen a lot of golds, greens, and reds out there, but I wanted to do something a little different.
I stuck with the red and green theme, but I decided to do a more mature take and used a deep forest green and reddish burgundy instead. I paired them to create a grown up smokey eye. I was actually inspired by some of the makeup I saw on the Atlanta Housewives reunion!
Check out my tutorial! Don't forget to subscribe!
Here's What I Used (All MAC unless otherwise specified):
-H.I.P crayon in Unmistakeable
-sharkskin shadestick
-humid e/s
-club e/s
-deep damson e/s (pro color)
-vanilla e/s
-creme royal e/s (gold color for highlight) from 2007 Holiday Metallic palette
-kohl pencil in smolder
-Ardell 120 demi lashes
-Smashbox Iconic mascara
-Rimmel professional brow pencil in Hazel
-Rimmel primer
-studio tech foundation in NC42
-select cover up concealer in NW35
-format blush to contour
-pink blush
-elf highlighter in luminance
-dervish lipliner
-viva glam VI lipglass
Now gimme some egg nog! he he
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

Today our nation celebrates National Freedom Day, which commemorates the day in 1865 when the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery was sent to the states for ratification. It is also the culmination of January as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month.
Around the world, as many as 27 million people are still victimized in human trafficking, or modern slavery. This scourge occurs everywhere in the world -- including our own country. However, there is progress. Here in the United States, nearly every state has some form of anti-trafficking legislation -- and Wyoming is poised soon to become the last state to criminalize modern slavery. The passage of this bill, and others like it, is due in no small part to the work and advocacy of non-governmental organizations, victim service providers, legislators, and concerned citizens like you. As we celebrate the enduring promise of freedom embodied in the Emancipation Proclamation and our Constitution, I hope you will join the continuing struggle to end modern slavery and become a modern day abolitionist. Here are 10 ways you might get involved:
1. Learn the red flags that may indicate human trafficking and ask follow up questions so that you can help identify a potential trafficking victim. Human trafficking awareness training is available for individuals, businesses, first responders, law enforcement, and federal employees.
2. In the United States, call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-3737-888 (24/7) to get help and connect with a service provider in your area, report a tip with information on potential human trafficking activity; or learn more by requesting training, technical assistance, or resources. Call federal law enforcement directly to report suspicious activity and get help from the Department of Homeland Security at 1-866-347-2423 (24/7), or submit a tip online at www.ice.gov/tips, or from the U.S. Department of Justice at 1-888-428-7581 from 9:00am to 5:00pm (ET). Victims, including undocumented individuals, are eligible for services and immigration assistance.
3. Be a conscientious consumer. Discover your Slavery Footprint, and check out the Department of Labor's List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor. Encourage companies, including your own, to take steps to investigate and eliminate slavery and human trafficking in their supply chains and to publish the information for consumer awareness.
4. Incorporate human trafficking information into your professional associations' conferences, trainings, manuals, and other materials as relevant.
5. Join or start a grassroots anti-trafficking coalition.
6. Meet with and/or write to your local, state, and federal government representatives to let them know that you care about combating human trafficking in your community, and ask what they are doing to address human trafficking in your area.
7. Distribute public awareness materials available from the Department of Health and Human Services or Department of Homeland Security.
8. Volunteer to do victim outreach or offer your professional services to a local anti-trafficking organization.
9. Donate funds or needed items to an anti-trafficking organization in your area.
10. Encourage your local schools to partner with students and include the issue of modern day slavery in their curriculum. As a parent, educator, or school administrator, be aware of how traffickers target school-aged children.
As President Obama proclaimed, we renew our call on all Americans to recognize the vital role we can play in ending all forms of slavery. You can find 10 more ways to help fight human trafficking in our fact sheet, and take a stand for freedom.
Pawan in India writes:
Human trafficking has become major problem in many country, we have to stop it.
Sam O. in Nigeria writes:
in so many ways, slavery [ ref ; the forceful enslavement today of the Black African Negroes of South Sudan/Darfur by the Arab North Africans of [North] Sudan/Khartoum in Africa and other instances of slavery in the world today] ---- is a most horrific and terrible crime and a direct frontal assault against our collective humanity .........
Sule K. in Nigeria writes:
Talking of human trafficking is the most difficult things to stop in my country because the corruption it has block the face of our leadership to pay attention to human needs.
Bronwen F. in New Zealand writes:
Modern slavery moves from one from manual labour to sexual industry for children and woman. While the poverty is in the country those that have the wealth have the power..Church, government, tourist, leaving those that are poor and vunerable open to abuse..When those that are suppose to help and are the abusers then it is cruelty. The philosophy of the country needs to change.
Joe A. in India writes:
Human trafficking is a major problem yet in many parts of the world. Poor people are yet exploited and are enslaved. Hats off to United States for their initiative.

Macca does it, mostly, the other way 'round I think.
Does Dylan has instrumental songs? ?? Maybe you know- mshno- as a true Dylan expert.
This lyric item is an interesting one from an other point of view.
Macca is popular all over the world, not only in English speaking countries.
I think that the french, german, russian, japanese, swedish, chinese, spanish, dutch- etc speaking people for example
not always quite understand what the (english) lyrics are all about...although the learned the english language at school.
Thats why the lyrics "You say "Yes", I say "No" You say "Stop" and I say "Go, go, go".
Oh no.You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello, hello, hello". ( just joking a bit ) could be understood
in ALL countries......by all people, including who do hardly understand english.
He has a lot of songs like that and so I said, they love it in a lot of countries. Singalong junk ehh songs.
Macca is smart..no-one should underestimate him nor his lyrics.
For me its his melody, the bridges, the -song in song- his voice and than the lyrics.U
As he sings "its a tug of war...' that first line, the way he sings it I Know the rest is ok...
Ok, the lyrics must have hand and feet and go phonetic well with the music.
But he does make very good lyrics too, and does it again on New.
I finish with a quote of John Lennon in regard to "How do you sleep"and it fits in this topic I think.
"I heard Paul's messages in Ram - yes there are dear reader! Too many people going where? Missed our lucky what? What was our first mistake? Can't be wrong? Huh! I mean Yoko, me, and other friends can't all be hearing things. So to have some fun, I must thank Allen Klein publicly for the line 'just another day'. A real poet! Some people don't see the funny side of it. Too bad. What am I supposed to do, make you laugh? It's what you might call an 'angry letter', sung - get it?"

A Vision Board for the New Year!
I've recently noticed some buzz around the internet on creating Vision Boards. In particular, fellow blogger and YouTuber Scandalous Beauty aka Erin really got me pumped about it. These are boards with pictures and words that symbolize our goals. It's the perfect time to do it...with the beginning of the year already started and we're all making New Years Resolutions. I truly believe in dreaming big and working towards your goals. With this project, you can materialize your dreams onto paper and have a daily reminder of what you what to achieve. I wanted to share you my vision board and show you how to do your own!
Click here for more!
How do you make your own? Start out with materials! You can do this vision board for just about nothing if you have some regular household items lying around.
First, you need concepts, ideas, sources of inspiration. This can be easily found by cutting out pictures and words from old magazines. It helps to have a variety. You can also print pictures from your computer like I did...just google your ideas and you'll find lots of good stuff. You can also attach mementos, photos, flyers, and drawings - anything that can fit on the board.
You need something to attach your ideas too. Some people use foam board, poster board, or cork boards. I used a bulletin board that I found at Michaels. I love how it's a little bit more stylish with the dark wood and silver trim...that way it matches my decor at home and I'll be proud to hang it up. About a week ago all cork boards were 40% off at Michaels...run and get one! You'll also need scissors and either tape, glue or push pins...I actually used all three.
Now for the brainstorming process...flip through the magazines and pictures and cut out anything that appeals to you. Pick images that inspire you...objects and concepts that you'd like to achieve in life. This can be anything from a new car, home, to love and friendship.
Here's the final look! My OCDness is getting to me and I think i'll add just a few more items to the board this week before I'm finally done.
I hope I inspired at least one of you out there to start your own vision board. I've heard many success stories from people doing vision boards and reaching some of their goals. It can't hurt right? "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." Let me know if you've done a vision board or are planning on doing so!

Urban Heat Islands and Social Work: Opportunities for Intervention
The urban heat island (UHI), formed by surface modification of soil and vegetation, increases minimum nighttime temperatures within cities and causes heat-stress among dwellers. Children, elders and low-income persons are disproportionately burdened by the UHI. These populations often lack the necessary biological, economic and social resources to cope with or prevent heat stress. Because UHI's are expected to increase with climate change, more social workers will be expected to serve the populations most affected by UHI. This paper addresses how the social work profession can play a role in efforts to address the effects of UHI's on vulnerable populations.

Contact with dogs during the first year of life is associated with decreased risk of respiratory illness

Implications for practice and research
Early dog contacts are associated with fewer respiratory infections in infants, especially otitis, but not wheezing after adjustment for possible confounders.
Early animal contacts are important, possibly leading to changes in immune development and a better resistance to infectious respiratory diseases in infants.
Future research is needed to explore the mechanism of the favourable effect of dog exposure and whether similar results occur over a longer period.
Several groups have studied the associations between animal contacts early in life and asthma and allergic diseases in childhood.1 Reports on the association between pet exposure and respiratory infection are sparse. Results have been …

I am hosting a couple of pizza parties in July and wanted to serve my guests a desert pizza for a unique ending to the pizza menu. Since it is the start of the Farmers' Market Berry and Stone Fruit season, I was thinking of trying to make a desert pie with fresh blueberries. I have a gas oven with a pizza stone setup that I am using right now. I hope to use a friend's WFO later this summer as well.Since I am new to making desert pizzas, I welcome any input on the things to do or not to do in making a successful desert pizza. Here are some of my questions:1) Under what conditions would you throw the pie for baking with the desert ingredients on them versus pre-baking the pie and then adding the ingredients at some point when baking?2) Are there any ingredients that you have used that you had problems with when baking (ie, sugar burning, watery dough from the fruit releasing its juices, etc)?3) Any techniques that you would recommend for handling the dough prior to adding the ingredients?4) Are there any differences to take into account when baking in a regular oven versus a high temp oven like a WFO?Thanks for all your input.

"A full federal appeals court on Wednesday heard arguments about whether school districts may bar students from wearing the popular "I (heart) Boobies" wristbands promoting cancer awareness," reports Ed Week.
"Boobies" is vulgar and potentially disruptive, argued administrators at Easton Area Middle School in Pennsylvania. Two students suspended for defying the ban said they had a free-speech right to wear the wristbands.
"The case prompted a provocative hour-long argument" on "boobies," reports Ed Week.

N.Y. Power Authority Postpones Two-Day Closing Of Fishing Pier At Niagara Project
Michael Saltzman
April 27, 2011
LEWISTON—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) announced today that plans for the temporary closing on Wednesday and Thursday (April 27-28) of the Robert Moses Fishing Pier at NYPA's Niagara Power Project were indefinitely postponed. The fishing pier, or platform, remains open as usual and restrictions by the U.S. Coast Guard to boating in the Devil's Hole area have been cancelled.
The Power Authority had planned a two-day closing of the fishing pier this week to make possible the removal of a cable car—long in disuse—and a 715-foot steel cable from which the conveyance is suspended over the lower Niagara River from Lewiston to Queenston, Ont.
The cableway removal was to be carried out by crews working simultaneously on the U.S. and Canadian sides of the Niagara River Gorge. However, a rockslide on the Canadian side has prevented access to part of their work area. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has closed an access road to assess conditions.
At one time, the cable car equipment had been used to monitor the water flow in the river. Other means are now being used, making possible the removal of the cable, which is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Environment Canada. Over the years, NYPA and OPG, which operates hydroelectric power plants in Niagara Falls, Ont., have shared maintenance responsibilities for the conveyance equipment, installed in 1973.
Removal of the cableway will be rescheduled for a future date as determined by the appropriate U.S. and Canadian government agencies in conjunction with the International Niagara Committee and International Niagara Board of Control, which collaborate on river water matters. The future date will be selected to minimize impacts on boating and fishing in the lower Niagara River.
The Niagara project fishing pier, at the base of the project's Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant—its main generating facility—is known for superb fishing, including for trout, salmon and bass. The pier is open to the public during the fishing season, from dawn to dusk, and accessible to persons with disabilities. It also features a fish-cleaning station and restrooms.
Parking is available at the foot of the Power Authority Service Drive and by an access road at the top of the Niagara Gorge.
About NYPA:

It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower.

Comments: The zipper comes undone when you sit down. This really sucks. They are great if you just stand there like a mannequin. Another fine throw away product.
From: Cory: Austin, TX 3/31/15
Comments: The zipper on the back that attaches the suspenders to the pants came unzipped on me like 5 times the first day i fished in them. for $219 you would think they would have thought this out a little more before they put it out on the market. I guess i'll just have to super glue the zipper shut. Trust me its annoying when your pants are trying to fall down when the suspenders come unzipped. I buy shimano because they make great stuff but im frustrated with these bibs.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Becca Comfortable sports bra! I wear a 34 but normally buy a 36 in sports bras too make sure they aren't too tight but even the 36 feels a bit too snug. Overall still more of the more comfortable sports bras I have purchased. I will be buying another. September 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by familygal3 Super comfortable! This bra is super comfortable. The straps adjust and there is minimal "bounce." And it does wick away moisture just like promised. The only thing to consider is that this sports bra runs SMALL. September 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lovethisbra The first bra EVER to hold them in place We've tried many different styles and brands. This is the best sports bra available. Comfortable and firmly hold size 36D in place (hardly any movement) during high intensity tennis. August 6, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Thepalms Runs a little large Comfortable for a sports bra but the cops ran a little large. I would recommend this Bra for all ages. I needed a compression bra for a medical condition and unfortunately although the bra was comfortable, it was too loose for that purpose. I purchased a 44D but the size was more like a double D. I might try it one cup size smaller to see if that works. July 4, 2015

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (231 votes).
In short: My first, and certainly not my last!Date of review: October 31, 2007
In short: Another great year for the Sky Blue CityIn full: Just keeps getting better.......the minor niggles arent worth mentioning cos they didn't & don't effect the enjoyment of the day.Its a very testing race that puts your calfs through the mill a bit but there's enough flat parts to make up for that. Once again the view from the top of Kenilworth Rd is amazing & of all the halves I've done this year (10 in total) not many have a view like this. However, maybe I'm biased as it is my home town race!!Have done every race since its birth (3 in all!!) & the changes in the Memorial Park were a definite improvment. Only one hairpin this year & even that was small.Excellent organisation and I'm sure the issue with the starting 'pens' will be addressed next year although with chip timing it doesn't really matter that much as you can soon work your way through the crowds cos that what I did. Managed to beat last years time by 2 & half minutes so well chuffed.Well done to Helen & the team & many thanks to all the marshalls, helpers etc and the assistants in the massage tent who got my full attention after I'd crossed the line!See you all next year.Date of review: October 29, 2007
In short: Great race, well organised and supportedIn full: Superb day, well organised and closed roads, great support all round the route. Memorial park a little depressing, especally the last loop around the memorial! But still minor quibbles. Overall well done Helen and team!Date of review: October 29, 2007
In short: Good RaceIn full: My 1st Half, so nothing to compare with. However, start pen was poorly organised, I had to fight my way in from the back and gave up after a short while. Other than that the organisation was spot on, good atmosphere, good water stations etc. I finished faster than I expected in 1hr40 so things must have been good!Date of review: October 25, 2007
In short: Too many small hills and too many u-turn bends for a decent time. Shame, because the organisation and atmosphere was spot on.Date of review: October 24, 2007
In short: going against the flowIn full: maybe this review is coloured by the fact that i had to pull up with a knee injury but after two years of faultless organisation this year was a drop in standards.Why no park and ride as in previous years? And worse still no mention that there was no park and ride, leaving many bemused athletes at memorial park car park wondering what was going on.As mentioned only 1 person manning baggage store was ridiculous. No attempt to keep slower runners away from the front of the start line was the final straw, i will not do this race again!Date of review: October 24, 2007
In short: More hills than I expected but surprisingly fastIn full: A bright chilly morning made for good runnning weather. Surprised at not having to queue for the loos and with how easily we cleared the start area. I found this meant I could run at my preferred speed almost as soon as I crossed the start line. Lots of marshalls, drinks station and in promptu refreshments being offered by the public. Was glad to see the use of timing chips - but would have preferred they came with a strap for easier removal, a minor point overall. Found the course surprisingly fast - more hills than I expected but overall well balanced. Really glad to see a traffic free route. Was looking out for count downs towards the end e.g. 800m to go etc, but was pleasently surprised/relieved to see the 13 mile marker which I found hidden from view till almost upon it. All in all well worth the trip from Birmingham, and certainly a journey I would consider making again next year. Date of review: October 23, 2007
In short: Grin and Bare it with Lady Godiva. No horsing around here.In full: This could be one of the best kept secrets on the UK half marathon circuit. I've done 10 halves this year including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Nottingham, Wolverhampton and Milton Keynes and this one is at least on a par with so called "big city" events in every respect and better than most. The weather was perfect, still and cool but with just enough heat in the sun to take the chill off. No queue for a toilet, plenty of stalls and attractions at the start. No queue for a massage if you wanted one. The start was smooth with enough space to break into your normal pace quite quickly. Although the pen idea didn't quite come off. Traffic free course for the most part with plenty of marshalls. Mile markers were easy to spot as were the bright orange lines across the road, plenty of first aiders in evidence. Plenty of water stations also offering lucozade sport. Good support from the locals and cheerleaders offering supportas well as tip tops, jelly babies, mini mars, chopped banana. Course was a nice balance, the scenic with the urban: testing climbs and straight/downhill sections. The view down the Kenilworth Rd section has to be one of the best views in any Half Marathon event. It would be nice to finish in the Memorial Park if for no other reason that to cut out the meandering element when your screaming for the finish line, oh and that final climb at 12 miles. Organisation at the finish was excellent. Still no queue for a massage. Great value for money event. Sssshh, lets keep it our little secret. See you all next year same time same place. Book early to avoid disappointment.Date of review: October 23, 2007
In short: This event seems to get better each year.Date of review: October 23, 2007
In short: Well worth the trip...In full: Travelled down from the North East for (my hometown) race. A well organised event, plenty of conveniently located toilets, (very) reasonable entry fee and, all in all, most enjoyable. Almost perfect autumnal conditions with bright sunshine and (early on) a coolness in the air. I'd change very little other than access arrangements to the starting pen (where I had to find my way past many other runners to an appropriate starting position).Date of review: October 23, 2007

The House speaker also calls for inquiries by the Department of Justice and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Published October 2, 2006
WASHINGTON - The FBI said Sunday that it had launched an investigation into former Rep. Mark Foley's sexually explicit Internet communications with teenage boys.
The announcement came after House Speaker Dennis Hastert called for criminal inquiries by both the Department of Justice and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
In letters sent Sunday to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Hastert asked for an investigation into "Mr. Foley's conduct with current and former House pages to determine to what extent any of his actions violated ... law."
Foley, 52, a Republican from the West Palm Beach area, abruptly resigned Friday after the public disclosure of e-mails and instant messages between him and former congressional pages that Hastert now says went back at least three years.
The scandal has left House Republican leaders fending off charges that they knew about Foley's behavior for months but failed to disclose it.
It comes just weeks before the critical midterm election in which Democrats have their best chance in a dozen years to take control of the House.
Democratic leaders praised the federal inquiry but continued to call for a separate investigation by the House Ethics Committee into what they are calling a Republican cover-up.
"Republican leaders have admitted to knowing about Mr. Foley's outrageous behavior for six months to a year, and they chose to cover it up rather than to protect these children," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said.
Several House leaders including Hastert, Majority Leader John Boehner and Rep. Tom Reynolds, head of the National Republican Congressional Committee, have said in recent days that they knew for months about some of Foley's correspondence. They said they knew about one "over-friendly" e-mail exchange Foley had with a 16-year-old page from Louisiana but not the sexually explicit instant messages later publicized by ABC News.
To bolster his argument, Hastert refers to an editor's note published on the St. Petersburg Times Web site Saturday that explains that the newspaper received copies of some of the e-mails to the Louisiana page in November 2005, but characterized them as "friendly chit-chat" and chose not to print a story about them after speaking to Foley.
But on Sunday night, St. Petersburg Times editors rebutted his statements.
"The speaker is inaccurate. Our decision not to publish last fall was not based on an explanation from Rep. Foley," managing editor Stephen Buckley said.
"We didn't publish because the Louisiana teenager's parents did not want to pursue the issue, and because, despite our best efforts, we weren't able to track down any pages who had received inappropriate e-mails from the congressman. We didn't know about any sexually explicit exchanges between Rep. Foley and any former pages until the instant messages became public on Friday."
Hastert also asked federal and state authorities to look into "who had specific knowledge of the content of any sexually explicit communications between Mr. Foley and any former or current House pages and what actions such individuals took, if any, to provide them to law enforcement.
"I request that the scope of your investigation include any and all individuals who may have been aware of this matter - be they members of Congress, employees of the House of Representatives, or anyone outside the Congress," he wrote in his letter.
FBI spokesman Richard Kolko confirmed Sunday that the FBI is "conducting an assessment to see if there's been a violation of federal law."
Agents from the cyber division are looking into the text of the messages, how many e-mails were sent and which computers were used.
White House counselor Dan Bartlett called the allegations against Foley shocking, but said President Bush hadn't learned of Foley's inappropriate e-mails to a 16-year-old boy and instant messages to other boys before the news broke last week.
"We need to make sure that the page system is one in which children come up here and can work and make sure that they are protected," Bartlett said on a Sunday morning talk show.
Gov. Bush's communications director Alia Faraj said that FDLE had already been cooperating with FBI and federal officials before late Sunday and had been told to expect Hastert's letter.
"The FBI is lead and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is coordinating," Faraj said. "If it becomes necessary for the state to have a separate investigation, we will do so at the appropriate time."

Editor for this issue: Martin Jacobsen <martylinguistlist.org>
SECOND WORKSHOP IN COMPUTATIONALLY-INTENSIVE METHODS IN QUANTITATIVE LINGUISTICS Department of Statistics University of Glasgow, UK 7-9 September 1998 Final Call for Registration In recent years techniques from disciplines such as computer science, articficial intelligence and statistics have found their way into the pages of journals such as the Journal of Quantitative Linguistics, Literary and Linguistic Computing and Computers and the Humanities. While this influx may bring more advanced methods of analysis to the fields of quantitative linguistics, stylometry and stylistics, the demands upon researchers to understand and use these new techniques are great. Familiarity with the appropriate software and the ear of a sympathetic expert are pre-requisites without which the technique may seem out of reach to the average researcher. The Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute and the Department of Statistics of the University of Glasgow are hence supporting this practical workshop in Computationally-Intensive Methods in Quantitative Linguistics. The workshop is designed to introduce the participants to four such techniques in a practical environment. Each half-day session will be divided into an introductory session in a lecture theatre and a longer period spent working with software and practical examples. All of the speakers have published papers using the analyses they will present and their aim in this workshop is to enable the participants to return to their home institutions able to carry out these techniques in the course of their own research. The sessions and speakers are as follows: Harald Baayen; Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Large Number of Rare Event Models Walter Daelemans; University of Tilburg, The Netherlands. Linguistics as Data Mining: Using Machine Learning Techniques to Discover Linguistic Generalizations Michael Oakes; University of Lancaster, Unted Kingdom. Multivariate Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Fiona Tweedie; University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. Time Series Models in Linguistics The workshop will be held in the Mathematics Building of the University of Glasgow, commencing on Monday 7 September at 1pm. The four workshop sessions will take place on Monday afternoon, Tuesday 8 September and the morning of Wednesday 9 September. There will also be a half day tour on the Wednesday afternoon and a reception in the Hunterian Art Gallery on Monday evening. Accommodation has been arranged in university accommodation with some en suite facilities. The reception, tea and coffee, lunches on 8 and 9 September and evening meals on 7 and 8 September are included in the registration fee. The registration fee is GBP200.00 and GBP150.00 for students. Participants who are also attending the Digital Resources in the Humanities Conference, 9-12 September are eligible for a discount in the registration fees. For more information about the workshop and to register, please consult the web site at http://www.stats.gla.ac.uk/~cimql, or contact the Conference and Vacation Office (tel: +44 141 330 5385, fax:+44 141 334 5465).Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue

Cool girls play rugby. How it is fair for US State Dept to talk about empowering girls and choose only soccer, like thats the only sport they play.
Lets talk about a level playing field and have equal representation in sports and not pick the low hanging fruit like soccer, when the theme is empowering women and girls through sports.
Nothing is more empowering than rugby and its an Olympic sport too.

Call for Abstracts
Footprint Forum's Academic Conference: The State of the Art in Ecological Footprint Theory and Applications
Wednesday, June 9 2010: 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm, dinner at 8:00 pm
Thursday, June 10 2010: 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm (breakout session of public conference)
An event of the Footprint Forum: Meet the Winners of the 21st Century. Colle Val d'Elsa, 7-12 June 2010
Global Footprint Network is calling for abstracts for presentation at the Academic Conference of the Footprint Forum: Meet the Winners of the 21st Century to be held June 7-12, 2010, in Colle di Val d'Elsa, Italy, just outside of Siena, Italy. Submissions are welcome on issues pertinent to biocapacity and Ecological Footprint. Abstracts will be selected for presentation. If your abstract is selected, you will have the opportunity to speak at the session for up to 15 minutes, followed by at least 10 minutes of discussion. In addition, a special issue of Ecological Indicators will include extended versions of a selection of papers presented at Footprint Forum.
About Footprint Forum:
Copenhagen – COP15 – showed us that national governments and political leaders are finding it difficult to act collectively in the global interest. Global Footprint Network is convinced that climate action will only gather momentum once nations see that decisive action is in their own best interest. This compelling self-interest story becomes obvious once we understand climate change in the context of ecological resource constraints, as one of a number of related crises – food, energy, water, biodiversity, and so forth – emerging from humanity's systematic overuse of available resources. This reframing presents a great impetus for transformation. The focus of Footprint Forum 2010 is on how we can capitalize on this opportunity.
Learn more about Footprint Forum.
Details of Submission:
Proposed topics should focus on NEW developments on the Ecological Footprint in areas of:
1. Theory;
2. Applications; or
3. Communication/policy relevance.
All submissions must be a two-page abstract, and include an introduction, summary of methods and results, and a discussion section.
Click here to download the template.
Click here to download the abstract submission format and guidelines
Note: If your abstract is not selected, you will have the option of having it presented as a poster at the Forum.
Email submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com . Deadline for submission is 31 March 2010.

Topic: Firefox failing to load CSS via
Well, failing to load is not entirely accurate. The CSS loads, but it isn't applied. Have a Rails (v 2.3.8) site with various sections. There is a master CSS file, and then I also pull in stylesheets specific to certain sections. So, for example, the main template file loads the main CSS file, and then an internal page has; <% content_for :head do %> <link rel=

Winner of the Lincoln Prize
Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president.
On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry.
Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires.
It was this capacity that enabled Lincoln as president to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union and winning the war.
We view the long, horrifying struggle from the vantage of the White House as Lincoln copes with incompetent generals, hostile congressmen, and his raucous cabinet. He overcomes these obstacles by winning the respect of his former competitors, and in the case of Seward, finds a loyal and crucial friend to see him through.
This brilliant multiple biography is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men and how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The life and times of Abraham Lincoln have been analyzed and dissected in countless books. Do we need another Lincoln biography? In Team of Rivals, esteemed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin proves that we do. Though she can't help but cover some familiar territory, her perspective is focused enough to offer fresh insights into Lincoln's leadership style and his deep understanding of human behavior and motivation. Goodwin makes the case for Lincoln's political genius by examining his relationships with three men he selected for his cabinet, all of whom were opponents for the Republican nomination in 1860: William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, and Edward Bates. These men, all accomplished, nationally known, and presidential, originally disdained Lincoln for his backwoods upbringing and lack of experience, and were shocked and humiliated at losing to this relatively obscure Illinois lawyer. Yet Lincoln not only convinced them to join his administration--Seward as secretary of state, Chase as secretary of the treasury, and Bates as attorney general--he ultimately gained their admiration and respect as well. How he soothed egos, turned rivals into allies, and dealt with many challenges to his leadership, all for the sake of the greater good, is largely what Goodwin's fine book is about. Had he not possessed the wisdom and confidence to select and work with the best people, she argues, he could not have led the nation through one of its darkest periods.
Ten years in the making, this engaging work reveals why "Lincoln's road to success was longer, more tortuous, and far less likely" than the other men, and why, when opportunity beckoned, Lincoln was "the best prepared to answer the call." This multiple biography further provides valuable background and insights into the contributions and talents of Seward, Chase, and Bates. Lincoln may have been "the indispensable ingredient of the Civil War," but these three men were invaluable to Lincoln and they played key roles in keeping the nation intact. --Shawn Carkonen
The Team of Rivals
|Team of Rivals doesn't just tell the story of Abraham Lincoln. It is a multiple biography of the entire team of personal and political competitors that he put together to lead the country through its greatest crisis. Here, Doris Kearns Goodwin profiles five of the key players in her book, four of whom contended for the 1860 Republican presidential nomination and all of whom later worked together in Lincoln's cabinet.
|1. Edwin M. Stanton
Stanton treated Lincoln with utter contempt at their initial acquaintance when the two men were involved in a celebrated law case in the summer of 1855. Unimaginable as it might seem after Stanton's demeaning behavior, Lincoln offered him "the most powerful civilian post within his gift"--the post of secretary of war--at their next encounter six years later. On his first day in office as Simon Cameron's replacement, the energetic, hardworking Stanton instituted "an entirely new regime" in the War Department. After nearly a year of disappointment with Cameron, Lincoln had found in Stanton the leader the War Department desperately needed. Lincoln's choice of Stanton revealed his singular ability to transcend personal vendetta, humiliation, or bitterness. As for Stanton, despite his initial contempt for the man he once described as a "long armed Ape," he not only accepted the offer but came to respect and love Lincoln more than any person outside of his immediate family. He was beside himself with grief for weeks after the president's death.

I had the opportunity yesterday to speak at the U.S. Institute of Peace with former U.N. Under-Secretary General for Peacekeeping Operations Jean Marie Guehenno and Ambassador George Moose to talk about the challenges ahead in addressing humanitarian crises around the world. The job of the State Department bureau I lead -- the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) -- is to provide protection and solutions to the world's most vulnerable people: refugees, conflict victims, stateless persons, and vulnerable migrants, and to do so by integrating diplomacy, advocacy and humanitarian assistance programs. In this effort, we seek to help realize the commitments of President Obama and Secretary Clinton to alleviate human suffering and create the conditions for sustainable recovery, and to build a more effective multilateral system for humanitarian response.

Last week Lukas blogged about her thoughts on David Eave's community lifecyle audit. I jokingly told her that I felt she called me out.
Until we require Directors to create annual and quarterly goals that include measurable goals around volunteer growth, retention, participation, and effectiveness we will only see people (like myself) trying to do this "off the corner of their desks" which means it's not a part of your paid work and thus less likely to be sustainable and effective.
Two points:
- I've made it clear to my teams that Community is a focus in 2012. I want each of them to spend some percentage of their work time engaging with the Community.
- I, as a Mozillian who carries the title "Director IT/Infrastructure & Operations", have created annual & quarterly goals that involve the Community.
I'll restate the commitment I made back in October:
My own personal goals by the end of 2012 are:
- to have 5-10 volunteer Community Sysadmins actively helping run Mozilla's network and servers.
- to have a vibrant Community IT group…
- to have a premiere source for open source video technology, a site where the Mozilla Community can find, share and create video content
Back to Lukas.
She's right and while it may not seem obvious, Mozilla IT started including Community specific goals since last quarter.
2011 Q4 Goals – Grow Mozilla
- IT Pivot to Open. Start discussions to generate 2012 plans.
- [DONE] Community IT
- [DONE] Community Volunteer Sysadmins
- [DONE] Air Mozilla
2012 Q1 Goals – Grow Mozilla
- Community IT. Empower the wider Mozilla Community.
- Spin up infrastructure to support Open Badges
- Enable @mozillans.org community to join Yammer
- Develop infrastructure for Community website hosting (Joint with ReMo)
- Air Mozilla
- air.mozilla.org Website Reboot (bug 712717)
- Mobile Air Mozilla Kit. Develop a reference kit to enable anyone to stream a live event through Air Mozilla.
- Host one Community Air Mozilla training event
- Incorporate one Open Badge concept around video tagging or event streaming/recording
- Vidyo & multi-tenancy with Mozillians.org
I keep coming back to this powerful but simple idea:
Be fierce. No one will build into the Internet the kinds of things we want to build.
This can not be done alone.

In addition to 72 units of coursework, all Ph.D. students are required to complete a portfolio. The portfolio is expected to represent a cohesive set of experiences that balance the student's training in their area of specialization. For more information about the portfolio, click on the link.
When the student has completed their qualifying core courses and has had their completed portfolio approved by their advisor, they are required to pass an oral qualifying examination to determine their competency in their area of specialization. For further information about Oral Qualifying Exams, click on the link.
Once all other requirements are fulfilled, including all coursework, the portfolio, and the oral qualifying examination, students must submit a dissertation proposal for approval by their committee. Once the proposal has been approved, the student may begin conducting research for the dissertation. After data has been collected, early drafts of the dissertation are reviewed by the dissertation chair. When a polished draft has been approved, it should be circulated to an approved Dissertation Committee, who must approve the final draft before it is submitted to an outside visiting examiner. At least two weeks after the entire committee has reviewed the draft, the final oral examination is held. Any final revisions requested by the Dissertation Committee must be completed and approved before the dissertation is submitted to the Registrar for publication and the student is awarded doctoral status. Further guidelines regarding the doctoral dissertation may be found by following the link and looking under the heading "Ph.D. Forms."
