Our Reflections on Mark Johnston's Remarks at the COHHIO Conference
April 23, 2012
Last week, I attended a conference in Columbus put on by the Coalition on Housing and Homelessness in Ohio (COHHIO). The program included a wide slate of workshops on topics like diversion and coordinated intake, along with an entire set of workshops devoted to advocacy (including a session led by yours truly on how to engage one's congressional delegation).
Perhaps what struck me most was the keynote address given Tuesday morning by Mark Johnston, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Special Needs Assistance Programs at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Although it might not be immediately clear from his extremely long title, Mr. Johnston plays a critical role at HUD: he oversees the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants programs, among others. He is one of the most important people at HUD advancing the effort to prevent and end homelessness.
He spent much of his keynote address explaining why, despite a grim budget outlook for HUD programs over the next few years, he is still confident that we can meet the goals laid out in the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, including ending chronic and veteran homelessness by 2015. Mr. Johnston made it clear to conference attendees that it won't be easy, and we will have to make tough decisions and use every dollar wisely, but he believes we can truly end homelessness.
In his remarks, Mr. Johnston explained why the tight fiscal constraints mean we as participants in the movement to end homelessness need to carefully weigh each and every program and ensure that we are using precious resources as efficiently as possible. He emphasized the need to reallocate our resources, when need be, toward programs that have the best outcomes for the lowest costs. He specifically mentioned the fact that research on homelessness prevention is not yet quite strong enough to accurately predict who will become homeless, whereas we know that rapid re-housing is an extremely effective, and inexpensive, intervention. He shared that most communities are seeing that 85-95% of people served by rapid re-housing remain housed a year or two later. Given limited resources, he encouraged communities to prioritize investment of their limited Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) resources in rapid re-housing over prevention.
Throughout the remainder of the conference, I heard numerous presenters and attendees speaking to the fact that they had come to the same conclusion in their own communities. Based on lessons from the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP), these communities, like many others, intend to spend the vast majority of their new ESG funds on rapid re-housing.
Hearing from Mr. Johnston and these leaders and practitioners from across Ohio, I found the conference extremely inspiring. Communities are not only fighting hard against funding reductions, they also recognize that people experiencing homelessness are depending on us to make the most we can out of the resources that are available. These communities are taking the opportunity to reexamine their homeless assistance systems, ensuring they are squeezing the most out of every last dollar so we continue making progress toward our goal of ending homelessness once and for all.

Kirstie Alley and Maks Chmerkovskiy were eliminated Tuesday night on "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars," and while the outspoken actress was sad to go, she wasn't totally surprised.
"[Maks] worked so hard and I gave it my best shot, but let's face it -- there are dancers that are remaining that are far superior," Kirstie told Access Hollywood after the show. "I feel good that I made this far and I know next week they're doing a Michael Jackson dance, and I knew Michael Jackson, so I think maybe it's better that I'm not doing an interpretation of a Michael Jackson dance."
PLAY IT NOW: Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy Grateful To Fans For Voting
The 61-year-old star offered gratitude to the viewers who voted for her and Maks.
"I just want to thank or fans because that's what got us this far," she said. "We did our best to entertain you, we did the best of the dances too, but one of us was better at the dancing than the other."

Here we go again: Just as the question was raised during the latter phase of the Bill Clinton era, Tiger Woods' recently revealed indiscretions have prompted questions of whether there is such a thing as "sex addiction," or whether it's just code for "boys will be boys" ... until those boys get busted, that is. —KA
Chicago Tribune:
"In the field of psychiatry, there's not a clear agreement about whether or not it's even a diagnosis," said Ginger Manley, a nursing professor and certified sex therapist at Vanderbilt University.
To many Americans, sex addiction is often a punch line. "People say, 'If I have an addiction, I want to have that one,'" Manley said. But Manley and other sex therapists say most clients don't get treatment until their sexual behavior has ruined their lives - wrecking their marriages, causing them to spend thousands of dollars on pornography or prostitutes, or even getting arrested for soliciting prostitutes.
But for someone like Tiger Woods, is this an addiction - or merely a way of life for rich, powerful men?
"I am cautious and a little leery of the term sex addiction," said Dr. Alan Grieco, an Orlando, Fla., psychologist who noted that the American psychiatric community considered homosexuality a mental disorder 60 years ago. "In my opinion, monogamy does not come naturally to most men. We can do it, but it's a struggle. ... If an attractive woman throws herself at a guy and he thinks he can get away with it, he will - married or not - have sex."
U.S. Navy / Petty Officer 2nd Class Molly A. Burgess
Tiger Woods, shown in 2007 at the first Earl Woods Memorial Pro-Am, is rumored to be in rehab for sex addiction after last year's post-Thanksgiving revelations about his extramarital escapades.

Dustin Hoffman, David Letterman, Led Zeppelin Among Honorees for 35th ANNUAL KENNEDY CENTER HONORS - Tonight!
The President and Mrs. Obama received the Honorees, as well as members of the Artists Committee who nominated them and the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees, at the White House prior to the gala performance on Dec. 2. The 2012 Kennedy Center Honors Gala concluded with a dinner dance in the Grand Foyer.
The Honors recipients are recognized for their lifetime contributions to American culture through the performing arts - whether in dance, music, theater, opera, motion pictures or television - and are selected by the Center's Board of Trustees. The primary criterion in the selection process is excellence. The Honors are not designated by art form or category of artistic achievement; the selection process, over the years, has produced balance among the various arts and artistic disciplines.
Kennedy Center President Michael M. Kaiser expressed the national cultural center's continued gratitude to the many individuals involved in the success of the Honors program. "In addition to recognizing some of the world's most treasured artists, the Kennedy Center Honors supports a wide variety of artistic programming, as well as the Center's educational and national outreach efforts."
George Stevens, Jr. will produce and co-write the Honors for the 35th year. Stevens and his Honors producing partner Michael Stevens received three consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Variety, Musical or Comedy Special and are nominated again for the sixth consecutive time. The KENNEDY CENTER HONORS telecast has also been recognized with the Peabody Award for Outstanding Meritorious Service to Broadcasting and seven awards from the Writers Guild of America. Nick Vanoff was co-creator of the Honors with George Stevens in 1978.

Obama has tough-love message for African-Americans
By Steve Holland
NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Barack Obama had a tough-love message for fellow African-Americans on Thursday, urging black parents to push their children to think beyond dreams of being sports stars or rap music performers.
Obama's election as the first African-American president buoyed the black community. At the 100th anniversary celebration of the NAACP, the country's oldest civil rights group, he urged blacks to take greater responsibility for themselves and move away from reliance on government programs.
"We need a new mindset, a new set of attitudes -- because one of the most durable and destructive legacies of discrimination is the way that we have internalized a sense of limitation; how so many in our community have come to expect so little of ourselves," he said.
Obama told a packed ballroom at a Manhattan hotel that blacks need to recapture the spirit of the civil rights movement of a half century ago to tackle problems that have struck African-Americans disproportionately -- joblessness, spiraling healthcare costs and HIV-AIDS.
"What is required to overcome today's barriers is the same as was needed then -- the same commitment. The same sense of urgency. The same sense of sacrifice," he said.
Obama said parents need to force their children to set aside the video games and get to bed at a reasonable hour, and push them to set their sights beyond such iconic figures as NBA star LeBron James and rap singer Lil Wayne.
Education is the path to a better future, said Obama.
"Our kids can't all aspire to be the next LeBron or Lil Wayne. I want them aspiring to be scientists and engineers, doctors and teachers, not just ballers and rappers. I want them aspiring to be a Supreme Court justice. I want them aspiring to be president of the United States," he said. Continued...

Day 3
Today, we took a small plane out to Milford sound, and from there we took a boat out to see the fiord. It was amazingly beautiful with mountains sticking straight out of the ocean and hardly a cloud in sight. The water was calm and the sun was bright. We captain of our boat even took us under several waterfalls! When we got back to Queenstown, we went zip lining! We zip lined six separate lines including the famous 'Big Dipper' and the worlds steepest zip line! We had a great day!

Was "swine flu" coverage actually excessive?
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Nearly everyone seems to agree it was. Here's Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz, for example, in an online discussion today:
Howard Kurtz: I think there's been almost no soul-searching over this. The swine flu story has now virtually vanished, from television at least, without so much as an acknowledgment that the media played a crucial role in pumping it up. It's like Emily Litella: never mind.
.... here's what I said yesterday:
I have good news to report this morning. We're not all going to die...
The tone and the volume were just out of proportion to what we knew about the outbreak. Of course it was a story that people were interested in, that journalists had to cover, that had the potential to turn into a public health crisis. But the key word is "potential."
Even as medical reporters sounded cautionary notes, the saturation coverage turned excessive, even scary. And then, well, the thing fizzled...
I can't tell you how many people have complained to me about what they see as the media's wild overreaction on swine flu. Whatever short-term bump you might get in the ratings is outweighed by a loss of confidence among news consumers, and there's no vaccine for that.
But just because the swine flu didn't kill half the country doesn't mean the coverage was excessive.
Let's say a virus exists, and the medical and scientific communities agree with absolute certainty that the virus will wipe out half the population if people behave as they typically do ... but that it could also be stopped if people took some basic precautions, like washing their hands and staying home if they are sick, so as not to infect their schools and offices. And let's say the news media reported all of that. And, given the potential severity of the situation, they reported it a lot. And in response, people would wash their hands a little more often than usual, and stay home from work and school if they felt sick.
The result would be that, despite all the media coverage suggesting we could all die, nothing much would seem to happen.
And that would be exactly how you would want it to play out.
The fact that half the country didn't end up dead wouldn't mean that the media hadn't done it's job. It would mean that the media had done its job very well - it had made the public aware of vital information in time for the public to act upon that information.
Is that what happened? I don't know. But Kurtz, and many others, aren't even considering the question of what would have happened had the media downplayed the story, or what could have happened.
They're just concluding that, because millions of people aren't dead, the media did something wrong.
That's an odd way to assess things, to say the least.
There is no shortage of things the media obsess over that they shouldn't. Lipstick-on-a-pig political "controversies," for example. Shark attacks. Crimes involving missing (rich, white, cute) children. Things that have virtually no potential to significantly affect anyone other than the very few people directly involved. But we shouldn't be so quick to assume H1N1 was one of them.
(Kurtz, if memory serves, has in the past criticized wall-to-wall media coverage of things like shark attacks and runaway brides.)

Sidewalk Math, counting patterns painted on sidewalks, joins math and art to build number sense and pattern making skills in young children.
Mathematics is called the science of patterns. We see counting patterns in the way numbers are organized on our phones, our clocks, our calendars, our speedometers. We see it in the way we display number and shape in the games we play (the diamond in baseball, the yard lines in
football, the circles in basketball). We see number and shape as patterns in every part of our lives. Our children not only need to learn these patterns, they need to become patternmakers with number and shape. When they do they will have number sense, and they will find learning and using mathematics easy
Children love to make and repeat patterns from the time they are born—"reading" the same books, hearing the same nursery rhymes, performing the same tricks, repeating the same actions, watching the same videos, or playing the same games—yes over and over and over again. They do it because they are learning to make patterns. Nurturing patternmaking is one of the most important things we can do.
Young children learn to build most patterns physically. They build patterns with their hands and their feet as well as with their heads. They build patterns by walking, hopping, jumping, touching, drawing, skipping, throwing. Sidewalk Math's active physical patterns help children make math patterns in their minds. These patterns have been designed and developed by math educators to build critical number sense skills, by artists to invite children to participate, and by early childhood educators to provide parents and caregivers with ideas for practicing number sense patternmaking with their children at every opportunity.
We pay particular attention to those skills that build the math patterns students will need to succeed in school, skills like
Our workshops and workshop materials will enable communities who want to create Sidewalk Math patterns as interactive art to help their children gain number sense to learn from our work. Our research into how children of all ages use these patterns, where to put them, and how best to create, to preserve, and to maintain them, will help spread these patterns.
The first installation of Sidewalk Math is at the Fletcher Maynard Academy in Cambridge, MA. Lesley University's Creativity Commons and the City of Cambridge have installed this pilot project to test the paints and the patterns. Look for Sidewalk Math and We Count workshops coming to your neighborhood, encourage early learning and school readiness through art, and remember to count with your children at every opportunity.
The Creativity Commons at Lesley University created Sidewalk Math to help young children develop number sense by counting often, counting actively, and counting in different ways. Number sense, recognizing patterns in numbers, is the foundation for learning math. Teachers know it is critical to being successful in math. We designed these patterns and painted them on sidewalks to be physical and fun number sense learning experiences. We encourage every parent and caregiver to practice counting with young children, and to make our community a place where we count with our children.

Style: 26347690 Colour:
Stretchy ribbed turtleneck top with lasercut sleeves . Keyhole opening at upper back. Body-conscious fit perfect for layering. 92% Nylon, 8% Spandex Hand Wash Cold *Import Measurements for Size XS/S: Length: 26" Bust all around: 23" Sleeve Length: 25"
Free People
will be ordering more
I rarely find pieces that are worth buying the same of in diff colors. But this top is definitely worth it to me. It's unique, diverse. It can be thrown under some denim jumpers I wear in the colder weather or on its own. I ordered the white in a M/L. The open hole style in the back didn't lie so flat like in the photos...don't know if that's just a sign that it's too big. Not really a big deal. Very comfortable material. I think it runs pretty fairly f or aM/L. Definitely want to order more colors. There is a vivid looking green color that a girl had posted herself wearing...just saying, would soooo purchase if a green other than the army would come back in stock
cute if it weren't made to fit 10 yr old!
It is a beautiful stretchy, thick constructed shirt. I decided to give the xs a shot even though reviews said it was very small.. I really loved it in ivory. The reviews were right. This shirt is so tiny I cold barely get it on (5'5' 115 lbs) it looked like a sausage casing, in the worst way. it is so small, I don't even think the m/l will fit. Sad.. wonder what is up with the people designing this stuff? The turtle neck is also not as high as it looks in the photo, which I did not mind but just in case you like the look of it folded over, it is not long enough to do so.
Beautiful and sexy
This is a really gorgeous top. I ordered the wine colour and it is a deep lovely red. The arms fit beautifully and the fit in general is very flattering. I love the fact that it is sexy without exposing anything. The line created where the arms meet the body gives a very sexy halter effect. The only slight issue is that the s/xs is really very small. I normally buy xs and this is tight. If you don't enjoy a tight neck, size up/
This is one of my favourite tops from Free People! The mink colour is beautiful and the sleeves are lovely, so intricate and unique. The material is soft and the fit is great. Really happy with the quality too. Long sleeves are always good here in England, and this is a great way to do it! Highly recommend!
Beautiful colors and fabric, but very small
The fabric and styling of this turtleneck are gorgeous, but runs extremely small. Very uncharacteristic of normal FP sizing. Sadly, I will be returning it.
Warm but small
Not easy to choose between xs/s and m/l.... A s/m size would have been better. This tee is very tight but hopefully stretchy. For the reference, I'm 5'1 and 108-110 lbs... Beside this, this top seems to be good quality but I will learn more about it after a few weeks/months.
Cute but has some major flaws
The material of this shirt is kind of weird. It isn't really warm, it's stretchy, but I feel like this top itself runs super small. I am normally a size XS or S in FP and the M/L barely fits me. It is also kind of short so my stomach is showing every 5 seconds, and I have to keep pulling it down. Also, the neck is so tight to the point that it can sometimes feel like it's choking me. If this top wasn't so small and short, I would like it so much more!
I have an unhealthy obsession with this top. I have it in 4 different colors and I still want more!! Perfect for a petite gal like me. Extremely versatile.. wonderful for layering or to wear alone!

31 Years Young, Tummy Tuck After 3 C-sections - Beverly Hills, CA
After I had my first baby in 2005 by Csection, my...
Vlog Post Op Day 9 Tummy Tuck
With Bruce, he had done such a great job on my breast 2 years ago, I did search around for other doctors, but I couldn't find any I was comfortable with. Although he us very straight to the point and does not baby customers, I feel this is somewhat good. I went to my consult in Feb 2014 sometime and scheduled for Feb 21 2014. So now I am recovering and just waiting for the recovery to be over. I hate the recovery because I'm such a busy body and can't get anything done. I ended up getting Lipo, Tummy Tuck, Pubic contour, and Hernia repair which is why my price is so high. I'm not really in pain, I'm just in discomfort. I'm not sure the meds are really working, but they probably take the edge off. I don't get my drains out until more than 10 days from now and am just taking it day by day. I hope my tummy comes out looking spectacular. Dr. Kadz is a nice guy and a good surgeon to go with for breast, I'm just waiting to totally evaluate my tummy. I hope to look awesome! I'm glad I got it done so far. If anyone has any questions on anything I may have left out, just message me. Thanks for reading!

For foodservice operators or cooking areas that don't have available gas, induction cooktops represent a viable option. Foodservice operators can use these in place of traditional gas and electric ranges as well as burners. This type of cooking can be fast and extremely energy efficient.
Induction cooktops offer efficiency rates that approach 95 percent. With these units, boiling a gallon of water takes seconds, as opposed to 30 minutes or more with a typical gas burner. Low-end units tend to be less energy efficient and slower. For example, an induction burner with an efficiency rating between 60 percent and 70 percent will have longer cooking times at lower temperatures compared to one with an efficiency rating approaching 95 percent.
This technology runs electricity through an induction coil that produces a high-frequency magnetic field just above the cooktop. When staff place cookware made of ferrous material on this surface, the magnetic field causes the molecules in the cookware to vibrate, which heats the pan. Operators can choose from countertop or built-in induction cooktops. In addition, operators can opt to install newer hidden induction warming units beneath countertops.
When specifying this equipment, configuration
represents an important consideration. Cooktops come in single-, double-, four- and six-burner configurations, all either in drop-in or countertop styles. Relatively new to the market is direct contact food cooking, which includes such induction equipment as griddles and planchas.
Single and double hob models offer a front-to-back or side-by-side configuration. These come with the more familiar flattop cooking hotplates or in round bowl wok units. The range of cooktops available goes from 450 watt warming units to 10 kW stockpot units. The variety of functions includes low-power warming and wok ranges, in addition to single-, double- and four-coil units. Operators can also choose from griddle-top models and hidden warmers that heat through the countertop.
These units typically feature small footprints, which means space is generally not a primary consideration during specification. Single hob induction ranges typically measure 13 to 15 inches wide, 15 to 17 inches deep, and 3.5 to 5 inches tall. Double units measure roughly 27 to 30 inches deep.
The hobs generally will hold a 14-inch-wide vessel, but the cookware can be wider than the actual range. Typical stockpot capacities would be 24 to 40 quarts, but can be larger. Higher wattage ranges work with 60-quart stockpot applications. High-powered induction ranges that must accommodate stock pots and braising pans will tend to grow in size with power level.
In terms of placement, induction cooktops plug into almost any electrical outlet, allowing for flexible positioning. For those employing display cooking in catering and buffet applications, induction cooktops can emerge as a practical option. Buffet lines typically use two types of induction units. One offers an effective controlled heat source for keeping food items at proper temperatures, while the other acts as a cooking unit for action stations. Some induction ranges provide both heating and cooking modes.
Along with being useful for front-of-the-house applications, induction cooktops can be simple additions to kitchen cook lines, helping facilitate menu expansion. Because these units take up little space, operators can plug in induction ranges in back-of-the-house areas where additional prep work or finishing takes place.
Prior to purchasing an induction cooktop, operators should determine how they intend to use this equipment. Common applications include sauté stations, stock pot ranges, high-temp cooking, auxiliary heating stations for soup and sauce work, stir fry, warm salad condiments and pastry kitchens. These units also are suitable for single-plate demonstration cooking and plating.
Operators should use only induction-ready or magnetic pans with these cooktops, because those types of cookware provide the most even heat and efficient cooking.
Exterior construction choices range from plastic or aluminum housings with tempered glass tops to heavy-duty stainless steel housings with brand name ceramic-glass
composite tops.
Standard features vary, depending on the manufacturer, but can include empty pan protection and over-heating limiters. Some units include self-analysis by the induction range to adjust to varying cookware, voltages and electrical cycles. Manufacturers may offer either control knobs or touchpad operation. Control panels that rely on cooking levels to select temperatures generally offer between 20 and 100 settings.
In the United States, it is mandated that induction ranges are FCC listed and compliant, which helps ensure that the unit will not interfere with radio waves or electronics. Lower cost units may have higher wattage ratings, but it is likely that they do not meet the rated wattage over a wide range of cookware.
One common mistake operators make is not ensuring that the location has the correct power requirements needed to operate the type of induction ranges the property is specifying. It is imperative to provide adequate power for the cooking application. In terms of power, 1,800 watts is ideal for light sauté dishes and omelets; between 2,200 and 3,000 watts is appropriate for stir-fry, saucepots and higher volume cook stations; and between 3,000 and 3,500 watts or more can be used for high-volume applications, such as stockpots stations. For reference a 3.5kW induction burner, taking relative efficiencies into account, translates to a 31,000 Btu gas burner.
With induction cooking, the power and speed have a direct and linear relationship. For example, if it takes 90 seconds to boil a pint of water on an 1,800-watt unit, it will take 46 seconds on a 3,500-watt unit. Although the difference in a few seconds for sauté work might not matter, for larger volumes, such as large sauce pans, stock pots, etc., the time difference could impact speed of service.
Also, it is not uncommon for operators to fail to evaluate whether a hood is necessary. While induction units create no effluent, vapors from the cooking may still require some form of ventilation, depending on local jurisdiction and code.
Like computers, induction cooktops' electronic brains can misbehave or fail once they get too hot. Operators need to look at how the unit will react if overheating occurs. Some will suddenly reduce power unannounced in the middle of cooking at some point during overheating, which could be a problem, while other models wait longer before shutting down and showing an error code.
When first introduced, induction ranges had limited controls and were costly. Units now feature advanced power levels and temperature controls, are durable for true commercial environments and cost a fraction of the originals.
Induction is a high-tech product, and operations need to address this type of heating differently compared with traditional methods.
Operators should assess the environment in which they will use the unit. For example, if in the back of house, take into account grease and moisture in the air. Very hot, greasy, high humidity kitchens are not the proper environment for induction cooking. The electronics need to cool and will require ambient temperatures to be less than 105 degrees F.

Fallout 3 - E3 Teaser Trailer @ Gametrailers
It's definitely E3 teaser season…hit Gametrailers to see a short Fallout 3 teaser cinematic, presumably produced in-engine.
More information.
Very similar to the previous teasers - doesn't show us anything we hadn't already seen.
I'd like to add that I really do feel the artistic style is spot on, as shown in the teaser. Style without proper gameplay still doesn't make a good game, but it clearly has potential.
I'm cynical about FO3 but I thought that was a nice little teaser.
Not sure what it is he looks out on. The landscape, but I like how there seems to be alot of stuff lying around.
That its not just a desert like landscape, which F1 and F2 gave the impression of while you were map travelling. It might be realistic but not that fun for a 1st person's view.
So nice to see that there seems to be alot to check out and see, atleast in that short video.
Lol, I thought it was great. Love the humor, and the atmosphere looks very… Falloutish, as in 3d to be expected. Great teaser.
Bethesda is doing a good job keeping me cautiously optimistic about this game. The ammount of vemom in the comments below the trailer on that page are kind of hilarious though. Even a lot of the more vocal critics from NMA have been somewhere between neutral to positive about the trailer, since it doesn't really show anything besides correct style. That's the only thing to be honestly negative on in terms of the trailer- lack of video showing actual gameplay. Maybe one of the E3 articles will feature a good 20-30 minutes of actual gameplay like we all want to see.
That thing looks nice, hopefully the gameplay is same caliber. But yeah I'm optimistic at this point.
The look and feel of it are good. They aren't showing any npcs or much in general though. I guess that's the art of the advertising tease.

My 15-year-old son is rebelling. He thinks school is a waste of time and exams are stupid. He is, and has always been, extremely bright and was labelled "gifted and talented". A prediction in year 9 that he would get A*s really annoyed him. He has stopped doing homework and never revises. My reasoning, or nagging, and school detentions make no difference. We can't change his mind about the value of good GCSEs and the school seems unable to address the problem.
I'm a liberal parent and have tried carrot and stick approaches but he is very single-minded. I sympathise with his views – we all know that exams have limitations – but I think boredom is part of the problem. I suggested taking him out of school and hiring private tutors, but his response was that as the aim was to get good GCSEs, and the exams are worthless, this would not solve the problem.
His work experience went very well. It was lovely having a happy teenager for two weeks, but telling him that good jobs need good exam results has no effect. Perhaps because he has always been told how able he is, he thinks ordinary rules don't apply to him.
I worry about his future: will he end up doing nothing after school, following his dream of designing computer games with little realistic chance of success, and no other options?
I don't want to alienate my son. Nagging him makes the whole family unhappy, but I can't see a solution. My husband's attitude is that we can't do anything. Anonymous, via email
Did he change after being told he was gifted and talented? I wonder if he thought this meant he didn't need to do any work. Between 5% and 10% of the population are "gifted and talented" – G&T – so I wonder if pointing out that there will be other pupils in his class who are also G&T might give him some perspective.
The thing is, you don't necessarily need good exam results to get a good job, but you do need to be bright, industrious and work hard. Is his dream of designing computer games unrealistic? It's interesting that he seemed happier working – some people find learning from books just doesn't grab them, but they do learn from practical, hands-on experience. But he will have more opportunities if he gets qualifications.
Here's a thought: is he any good at exams? It's one thing to be a bright spark, but quite another to be good at exams. If he's been labelled G&T, he may not want to disappoint by being bad in exams, so his arrogance/boredom could be a smokescreen. Ruth Coppard is a child psychologist who ran groups for gifted children for 15 years (gifted children are different from G&T – they are in the top 1%-2% of the population). She suggests that you both find out what your son needs to do to become a computer games designer. He might need qualifications.
Coppard says you can work with your son to create a "career pathway". Maybe he could get in touch with some computer game designers and ask if he could meet them, to ask how to proceed. It's one thing for him to say he wants to design computer games but it's a very competitive market. Talking to people in this field may give him a reality check about the exams or inspire him in a way that reassures you. He may even get a job out of it!
Another thing to do is visit games fairs together and Coppard thinks it might be an idea for you to agree with him that a good job doesn't necessarily need good exam results, but why not get them anyway?
I think your husband is copping out. He needs to get on board. It's all very well for him to say you can't do anything in this situation, but I disagree. Your "nagging" isn't making things progress, true, but there are other ways to support and encourage your son to make the best of his potential and it would help if you did this together.

Thank you for the question.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to give you good advice without direct examination, the problems your breasts are causing you, and your goals.
As you think about breast reduction surgery make sure you do your homework and understand the potential risks and complications associated with the procedure. Unsatisfactory scarring is one of the potential complications. Make sure you also understands that further surgery may be necessary in the future (for example if the breasts were to grow in size again).
On the other hand, breast reduction surgery is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform and I think that for the right teenager (enough symptoms) it may be an excellent option (regardless of the age).
At some point, it will behoove you to consult with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Best wishes

With Valentine's Day right around the corner we needed a great big pink hair clip!
I headed to Anthropologie to see what I could find for inspiration, and I found this lovely hair clip, with the staggering price tag of $47.
It's sooooo easy to make your own, and I had everything I needed so it cost me $0.
Here's the original:
Here's my knockoff:
I actually cut up an old silky scarf that had found it's way into Charlotte's dress up box.
It worked perfectly, and I think will become a little more frayed, like the original, as she wears it.
Here's what you'll need to make your own:
Step 1 - Snip Snip:
Cut 3 strips of material 2" x 20", and heat up your hot glue gun.
Step 2 - Zig and Zag:
Set your zig zag stitch so that it is longer (more space in between each stitch), and zig zag one edge of each strip. This is basically to keep it from fraying too much, but allowing it to fray a little.
Step 3 - Gather it up:
Now set your regular stitch to as long as it will go (mine's at setting 5) and sew along the other side. Gather this edge. Now you have kind of an old school scrunchie thing.
Repeat this process with the other two strips of fabric.
Step 4 - Fun with your glue gun
Begin gluing these strips onto the felt circle.
Just start at one edge and glue it back and forth to make it look like a flower.
I used the hair clip to kind of poke it down in the center so I wouldn't burn my finger.
When you have glued all three, it should look like this:
You may need to keep gluing pieces down here and there until you are happy with the way it looks.
Lastly glue the hair clip onto the back of the felt circle and let it dry.
Clip your sweetie's hair back and give her a kiss!
have a great day!

Al Khamsa Progeny List for
(Khemahr Moniet x Sahanad) -- 1981 Black Stallion
Until Robin and Nathan Howard leased Black Lightning (in 1995 for the 1996 foals), Lightning only had one Al Khamsa progeny--a son who has not had any Al Khamsa progeny. Through their efforts during the following years, he was bred to tail-female Sahanad mares, leaving a lasting influence on the Arabian breed through his nine sons and sixteen daughters that are tail-female Sahanad and Al Khamsa. The first generation of his progeny have begun to produce and are carrying on in their sire's "hoofprint". It is very exciting to see how his influence is carrying on to the next generations!
Black Lightning, although small, has produced foals with beautifully refined appearances and intelligent personalities. It is being seen in his grandget as well. At age 28, he is still producing foals. Go to the "Meet BLACK LIGHTNING" Page

PHOENIX - Invoking the image of the civil-rights movement of a half-century ago, the Rev. Al Sharpton promised Wednesday to re-create it in Arizona if a new immigration law takes effect, filling the jails here with protesters engaged in civil disobedience.
Sharpton, in a speech to an overflow crowd at the Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, said the first effort will be to overturn the law, known as SB 1070, set to take effect on July 29. It requires police to question those who they have reasonable suspicion are illegal immigrants. And opponents of the law are asking President Obama to reassert the federal government's exclusive authority to regulate who can come into the U.S.
"But I want you to know tonight that if those challenges don't stop this law, if the federal government will not intervene … then I want you to know that from all over this country we will bring people into Arizona," he told the crowd just ahead of a candlelight march on the Capitol.
"We will bring them in the spirit of the Freedom Riders," referring to multi-ethnic, religious and racial groups that descended on the South in the segregation era. He said they will walk the streets of Phoenix arm in arm.
"And if you lock up one, you'll have to lock us all up," he said.
Sharpton said the very nature of the law will lead to racial profiling, despite statements by Gov. Jan Brewer and other supporters that is not allowed and will not be tolerated. And he said those who are not Latino should not believe this is not their fight.
"If they do to Latinos today, they'll do it to your group tomorrow," he said. "If you open the door to a double standard for anybody, you open the door to a double standard for everybody."
And Sharpton had a special message for blacks who made up a large part of the audience.
"Let me tell you something: After dark, we all look Mexican riding down the street," he said.
Sharpton specifically chided Brewer, who has said those who criticize the bill have not read it. He said he had. But he said he also has read the Constitution and the Bible, suggesting they trump the statute.
Nor did he believe that, as someone not from Arizona, what is happening here is not his business. "When I came to … one of the spas and get a massage and tan - even though I was already tan - they told me, 'Welcome to Arizona,' " Sharpton said.
"But when I came in today, because they're trying to sanitize and legalize racial profiling, they tell me to mind my own business," he continued. "So let me get this right: If I want to give you my money, I'm welcome."
Brewer press aide Paul Senseman did not return calls seeking a response.

Well I finally got to go to the dog park yesturday. It was super slippery. Mom let me run for just a little bit then put me back on the leash. I wasnt happy about that but mom was afraid of me overdoing it and hurting my leg. I have to admit is was pure sheet ice out there, so i guess I can understand moms concerns, but I still wasnt happy.
I finally have my cast off! BUT pooh I still have to take it easy, Doc says icy conditions can make me slip and my leg could twist and snap. Also mom and dad have hardwood floors, which means they are slippery too. I need to work on rebuilding my muscles so I can get out and play! I'm so ready to be free. Doc says Im pretty well healed but i have a large calcium buildup on my leg. Mom isn't sure what that means, but I hope it doesnt mean anything bad.
Another cast... I managed to crack the other one. Im really ready to be off this bedrest business. Im getting stronger and pulling harder on my leash everyday. According to the new x-rays i have at least another month. I get so sad when I see the others heading off to the dog park. Mom has been easing up on keeping me in the crate all the time, I spend alot of time snuggling on the couch, which is great..... but I really really want to run. I'm bored, us pooches arn't meant to be on bed rest with minimal activity. I miss my walks, I miss running with Kodi.
What I wouldn't give to be magically healed.

Octagonal. MS-61 (PCGS).Frosty Mint State 1915-S Pan-Pac $50 Gold in Octagonal FormatBright and lustrous throughout with the usual faint die polish lines on both sides best seen in the open fields. The strike is sharp and the corners are intact and not dented as is often seen on the large gold coins. Rich coppery-gold color throughout. Examination of the surfaces finds a thin scratch down Minerva's cheek into the field below and shallow wipe lines in areas, perhaps this is the reason for the modest grade assigned by PCGS. The eye appeal and luster is intact otherwise. Mintage of a mere 645 pieces for the year, as these were generally too expensive for most collectors at the time they were struck, so many languished and were later melted. Today these are highly sought out and remain on of the most popular and recognized issues of the Commemorative series.PCGS#: 7452Pedigree: From the Ernest E. Keusch Collection.

Fairfield 65, Rider 52
Men's College Basketball
Fairfield University 65, Rider University 52
LAWRENCEVILLE- New Jersey recently had a six-day hunting season for deer.
On Sunday, Rider had a Stag in its sights but let it get away. Rather, the Broncs threw it away.
Rider held a 13-point lead late in the first half but committed 30 turnovers, losing a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game to the Fairfield Stags Sunday afternoon.
"I have no answers today," said Rider head coach Kevin Baggett. "We were so out of sync, just bad all the way around."
Nine different Broncs scored but the leading scorers, senior point guard Jonathon Thompson (Orlando, Fla./Jones) and freshman guard Zedric Sadler (Detroit, Mich/Cody), each scored just 10 points. For Sadler, who also added four rebounds, it was a career-high in scoring.
Fairfield (5-5, 1-1 MAAC) led 48-44 before out-scoring Rider 14-5, seven points by forward Maurice Barrow, who finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
"We got a win against a good team," said Fairfield head coach Sydney Johnson. "We knew we'd be up against it today."
Also for Fairfield guard Colin Nickerson added 13 points, five rebounds and four steals, while guard Derek Needham added 12 points and four assists.
The game featured 53 turnovers, including 30 by Rider (6-5, 1-1 MAAC). "That set the game back," Baggett said. "I've never seen anything like it. It was like we had never practiced, like it was our first day."
"We were careless with the ball," Johnson said, 'but I felt our defense was locked in, causing all of those turnovers."
"They put some pressure on us," Baggett said, 'but for the most part I felt the turnovers were self-inflicted. They were just bad turnovers."
The Stags out-scored Rider 16-1 to start the second half, seven points by Nickerson, to take a 45-34 lead with 14:36 left to play.
Rider went on a 10-3 run, four points by senior Dera Nd-Ezuma (Nigeria/Life Center Academy), to cut the lead to 48-44 with 11:04 remaining, but that was as close as the Broncs could get.
Nd-Ezuma finished with eight points and eight rebounds, along with three blocks and a pair of steals.
Fairfield used a 14-4 run late in the first half, five points by Justin Jenkins, to cut the lead to 30-29, and Rider led 33-29 at intermission. Jenkins finished with seven points in eight minutes off the bench.
Trailing 11-7, Rider went on a 17-0 run, five points by junior Tommy Pereira (Nottingham, England/Canarias Basketball Academy), to take a 24-11 lead with 5:20 left in the first half, holding Fairfield scoreless for 7:24.
The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for Rider. "I felt we had some momentum coming off two big wins on the road (at Drexel, at Siena), so that made it even more disappointing," Baggett said.
Fairfield ended Rider's season in the 2012 MAAC quarterfinals, the second time the Stags beat Rider last year. Rider defeated Fairfield in the 2012 regular season finale here in Alumni Gym.
Rider is 17-16 vs. Fairfield since joining the MAAC, including 1-1 in postseason.
The Broncs are off for exams before they travel all the way to Princeton (6.4 miles) December 20. "Today was disappointing but I know this team will bounce back," Baggett said. "It will be good to have some time off for finals and to get back and work on some things."

Mobile Application Security Maturity - Leveling Up.
Posted by Tyler Shields on August 13, 2013
- 317 Recommendations
- 2 comments
Enterprises are struggling to understand the risk and privacy impacts of the mobile applications in use in their environment. As the consumerization of mobile continues to shove BYOD into the enterprise, the number of applications in use is growing exponentially. Organizations must get a better handle on just how much risk is accumulating from the proliferation of mobile apps on their user's devices.
I'm currently researching a concept designed to help an enterprise know where they are on the mobile application security maturity curve. Understanding where one currently resides is the quickest method to determine the path required to improving your standing in the future.
Does your organization allow BYOD?
Do you inventory all of the mobile applications in use in your environment?
Do you execute security and privacy analysis on mobile applications in an organized fashion?
How do you define and enforce policies around mobile application security?
I've created a survey to determine current baseline enterprise mobile application maturity levels. If you are involved in the mobile management and security decisions of your enterprise now is your time to help. Please go to the survey link below and fill out the form. I will summarize some of the findings in a future blog post.

Yes, I definitely wants to execute security and privacy analysis on my mobile app.Security is a great measure on mobile app.
At the lowest level,
Comment from mark simon on Sat, 05/03/2014 - 03:36
At the lowest level, companies conduct manual testing of applications on an ad hoc basis, relying on antivirus alone. They lack a formal approach and generally have no defined critera for accepting new mobile applications development company.
Mid-level enterprises use automated tools for security awareness, but not for application vetting. They have developed some application vetting policies, but may not have many approved applications due to the the labour intensive nature of the process.
Those at the highest level of maturity, however, use automated tools together with manual assessment for a full mobile control point. They segment their user base for a clear understanding of risk tolerance and have clearly defined application acceptance criterea for each.

Weak. I don't secure my mobile applications at this time.
