Why did you chose MSOE?
When I visited campus for the first time, I immediately felt connected with the people here. I felt like I belonged. I also feel very goal oriented and motivated so MSOE's reputation as a rigorous school with a high placement rate was also a attractive quality.

What started as an experimental hobby in college for Parsons undergrads Antonio Blair ("Dosha Devastation") and Adam Radakovich ("Cunty Crawford LaDosha") has since evolved into high-octane gender-bending performance art. Listed in The New Yorker's "Best of New York" 2009 and Artforum's Best of 2011, and fueled by a viral fanbase, House of Ladosha draws upon fringe musical genres like mall goth, darkwave, and vogue, merging them with a unique brand of left-of-center lo-fi rap.

New kozyndan "Hunters" cushion from Click For Art is available now!
NEW kozyndan "BLACK bunny blossom" limited edition art cushion is available now from Click For Art.
We have released several cushions with them in the past and I have to say, they make a great product. The cushions are so soft and the print quality so fine.
As we prepared to create the silk screen edition of our "Bunny Blossom" earlier this year, our printer showed us a misprinted version of the print as a color proofing. In it he had printed the bunnies black instead of white. We thought the image rather striking, but it was just a one off misprint and never recreated… until now for this cushion! We dig it!
Now available in our web shop is a new limited edition COLOR version of our popular "Spirit Animal Collective" image.
"Spirit Animal Collective (Tinted)" is a limited edition of 150 signed and numbered archival digital prints on Somerset watercolor paper with deckled edges. Its 28 x 22 inches plus 3 inch white borders.
The print is based on kozy's 2009 drawing "Spirit Animal Collective". The drawing was the culmination of kozy's 4 year-long "Unknown Portraits" project, which involved Kozy's nearly obsessive search through old photographs in junk shops from Australia to Spain to Northern England to San Francisco to our own backyard in Venice Beach (and more!). Most of the drawings were the size of playing cards, but for the final artwork Kozy create a massive graphite rendering of a 1940's-era New Zealand primary school class photo. In it she imagined the camera to reveal the spirit animal within each of the students. This summer we decided to produce a colorized version reminiscent of old tinted photos (Dan's grandmother used to tint photos as a side job while raising her children) and this is the result.
A small painting for our upcoming exhibition at Narwhal Gallery in Toronto (opening November 16, 2012) has also been uploaded to our Society 6 account. There you can find a lot of rare kozyndan images available for prints, cards, iPhone cases, T-shirts and more.

(Australia )
Simple question yet never easily answered. How do you overcome the loss of a parent? Does it get easier, I think not. We learn to get on with life because we must, because society says you must move on.
I lost my father 6 Aug 2009, after 13+ years of being diagnosed with dementia. No, it wasn't dementia that killed him, it was 3 aneurysms which were only detected because he ended up going to hospital. He didn't want to get out of bed for a couple of days and didn't want to eat.
After days of tests we finally get answers, he had a ruptured aneurysm plus 2 others. The doctors can't operate due to his health and he would probably not make it thru surgery.
So how are we as a family supposed to react to hearing something like this? How are we supposed to sit there listening to the doctor explaining to us how dad will pass, "he will not feel pain, blood will fill his lungs and he will peacefully pass one day, maybe in 2wks, 2yrs, we don't know when".
So my problem and guilt now is; why didn't we go for a second opinion elsewhere? What if we did and he could have been helped? Why did we just trust the doctors with their findings? What if they just didn't want to spend more time and money on an "old fellow"?
His hospital stay was the most horrible experience our family has gone thru, I can only imagine what he felt. We were told to place him in a nursing home, as his health had gone downhill very fast. I knew it was the environment he was in, the negativity around him; we had to get him out of that horrible hole.
We convinced him to start eating and get out of bed so we could all go home, and he did. I even got to manicure his nails and take him out to the podiatrist, a day I will never forget. Seeing him smile and talking about wanting to come out again. Two wks. later he passed, my poor mother was left with the agonizing role of CPR, a 77 year old fragile woman, at home alone trying to save her husband of 56 yrs.
I can only imagine the hurt and pain she went thru and is still going thru. The only comfort we have is knowing we did the right thing and took him home, away from the foreign environment, he was home with his family and hopefully happy in his last moments.
People say the pain and grief gets easier. Well it doesn't. We just learn to deal with it, and even pretend it's all okay, because we must get on with life, move forward. But all along we suffer in silence with the hurt, pain and guilt inside.
I will always remember my dad and the times we spent together, good and bad. I just wish he held on for a few more months to walk me down the aisle. I had a dream a few months before his passing that he was going to die. Now I wish I had not dreamt it, going through every day knowing that he would not be at my wedding was the worse feeling I have ever felt.
Even though my dad is around in spirit, fluttering around as a beautiful butterfly, I would give anything to have him here today in the flesh, even with all the issues we went through with his dementia. He drove us mad, but we still loved him so much, as that was out of his control.
I miss him very much and I want him to know that horse loves him dearly, always have and always will. Till we meet again dad xoxox

Changes in the seasonal cycle of mean sea level (MSL) may affect the heights of storm surges and thereby flood risk in coastal areas. This study investigates the intra- and inter-annual variability of monthly MSL and its link to the North Atlantic Oscillation using records from 13 tide gauges located in the German Bight. The amplitudes of the seasonal MSL cycle are not regionally uniform and vary between 20 and 29 cm. Generally, the amplitudes are smaller at the southwestern stations, increasing as one travels to the northeastern part. The amplitudes, as well as the phase of the seasonal cycle, are characterized by a large inter-annual and inter-decadal variability, but no long-term trend could be detected. Nevertheless, in the last two decades annual maximum peaks more frequently occurred in January and February, whereas beforehand an accumulation was detected for the November and December period. These changes in phase in the various sea level time series are consistent with a shift in the annual cycle, which is, however, not significant. The changes are associated with strongly increasing trends in monthly MSL of the winter season (J–M), which are considerably higher compared to the remaining seasons. For the same season, the MSL and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) indices show strong similarities, resulting in statistically significant correlations (r ~ 0.7). Hence, these changes are linked with changing pressure conditions over the North Atlantic, which lead to a strong phase of positive values in the NAO index between the 1960's and 1990's.
During the last century, coastal regions have been strongly governed by a rapid growth in populations and economic assets with increasing urbanization affecting the vulnerability. At the same time, global sea levels have risen as a result of a warming climate. Over the 20th century a significant rise in global mean sea level (MSL) has been detected by different authors using various techniques [
For coastal planning it is not only important to understand long-term changes in MSL but also short-term variability, e.g., on annual time scales. First studies on the intra-annual (seasonal) behavior of MLW and MHW in the German Bight were conducted by Jensen
For a better understanding of sea level changes, high quality sea level observations are needed. Different external factors, such as atmospheric pressure variations or meteorological forces, may affect observed water levels. These factors have to be analyzed in detail to quantify their influence on different time scales. One common method of addressing external effects is the observation of major atmospheric modes of variability that can have significant effects on the variability of sea level on inter-annual and inter-decadal time scales [
Many authors studied the influence of the NAO using different atmospheric factors, such as rainfall and temperature [
The present paper has three main objectives. The first is to analyze the observed changes in the seasonal cycle of the MSL along the German North Sea coastline. Changes in the seasonal cycle may affect the heights of storm surges, which often occur during the winter months. In the end, this has significant implications in terms of flood risk for the affected coastal areas. Furthermore, it is important to know how changes in MSL are distributed over the whole year. Therefore, the second objective is to investigate inter-annual changes based on seasonal MSL time series. The third objective consists of estimating the connection between inter-annual MSL variability in the German Bight and the NAO index. The influence of the NAO on observed long-term MSL changes is also analyzed. This allows for a better understanding of observed MSL changes, which is a crucial step, by means of deriving reliable regional MSL scenarios to be considered for regional and local coastal management strategies.
The paper is structured as follows: In
In the present paper two different types of data are used:
Monthly MSL data from tide gauges located in the southwestern North Sea (German Bight)
Monthly data of the station based NAO index.
This study makes use of the monthly MSL data sets of 13 tide gauges in the German Bight. The tide gauges are operated by the German Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration [
Investigation area with the location of analyzed gauges (
The MSL data sets described above are considered in different ways with respect to the main objectives outlined in
The NAO can be described as a varying strength of two atmospheric pressure fields over the subpolar and subtropical regions of the North Atlantic. The variability of the NAO is commonly described through the NAO index. This index is derived by computing the differences between anomalies of both pressure fields. The index becomes positive if both pressure systems over the Azores and Iceland are well formed, which means the combination of a low pressure field over Iceland and a high pressure field over the Azores. Periods of positive NAO generally induce low-pressure fields over Iceland resulting in high precipitation, mild temperatures and increasing westerly winds over northern Europe [
At this stage, the seasonal cycle of the time span from 1951 to 2008 (all tide gauges provide data for this period) is analyzed. As a long-period tide, the seasonal cycle is formed by the solar annual (Sa) and solar semiannual (Ssa) tidal constituents with periods of 12 months and 6 months driven by solar heating [
In a first step, the monthly MSL records are de-trended by using linear regression analysis. The removal of the linear trend enables the consideration of the annual cycle separately from its annual long-term development. In a second step the de-trended monthly MSL series are transferred into twelve time series for each calendar month (
Furthermore, the year-to-year variability of the maximum and minimum values of the seasonal cycle is analyzed. It is calculated how often each month the maximum or minimum monthly intra-annual sea level (absolute frequency) occurs within a decade. Seven different decades, starting with 1939 to 1948 and ending with the decade 1999 to 2008, are evaluated.
When using the empirical description of the seasonal cycle, we define the amplitude as the difference between the maximum and minimum monthly values for the analyzed period. In this study, the inter-annual development of the amplitude of the seasonal cycle is of special interest. It is analyzed whether changes in the amplitudes of the seasonal cycle are evident from the available observations, as such changes may enhance flood risk for the investigation area. The amplitude is computed for each single year of the analyzed de-trended time series, introduced in
As described above, Wahl
To evaluate the relationship between inter-annual MSL variability and regional climate patterns, the monthly MSL time series of the virtual stations of Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and the entire German Bight are compared to the NAO index. In a first step, the MSL time series for each month are correlated with the analogical NAO time series. The significance of the correlation coefficients rxy is tested with a t-test as described by von Storch and Zwiers [
The total sea level, which is recorded by tide gauges, is composed of three main components: the astronomical tides, the MSL and the surge component [
For the detection of non-linear changes in both parameters (swMSL and swNAO), the time series are smoothed. Smoothing techniques (or low pass filters) are often applied when analyzing climatic time series, as such time series cannot be exactly described mathematically [
In this section the results from analyzing the seasonal component of the de-trended monthly MSL are presented. The variability of the seasonal cycle is figured by the means of month plots that are shown in
The plots of the seasonal cycle in
The year-to-year variability of maximum and minimum values of the seasonal cycle in the German Bight is analyzed for all of the 13 tide gauges during the last 7 decades from 1939 on (results are summarized in

As outlined by Wahl
The relationship between the de-trended MSL, represented by the two virtual stations for Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony, and the de-trended NAO is shown in
Correlation coefficients between NAO and MSL for the period 1937–2008. (
The similar trend pattern, with higher values for the three months from January to March, leads to the assumption that the high NAO trends in the three winter months strongly influence the MSL changes for the same months. Hence, the interaction between swMSL and swNAO is described by the sensitivity of swMSL (unit is mm) per unit swNAO. As described in
Inter-annual trends of monthly MSL (
Sensitivity (sea level changes in mm/unit NAO change) of swMSL (January to March) to swNAO for different time spans (1937–2008 (
The sensitivities change over time. While the sensitivity is almost the same for the first two periods (1937 to 2008 and 1951 to 2008), it is considerably higher for the last period (1971 to 2008). Jevrejeva
If the swNAO influences the swMSL variability in the German Bight over a specified time period and shows a significant trend at the same time, the question arises whether the swNAO also influences the swMSL long-term trends as well. Tsimplis

The annual rates of rise calculated as the first differences of the smoothed time series are shown in the plots at the bottom.
Recent assessments of MSL changes in the German Bight have mostly focused on inter-annual changes and hence considered annual time series. Especially for aspects of coastal safety management, inter-annual MSL assessment is particularly important as it considerably affects storm surge heights and frequencies. As pointed out in [
The results from analyzing the intra-annual variability in MSL along the German North Sea coastline (
The mean amplitude of the seasonal cycle in the German Bight, computed by the empirical approach, is found to be about 27 to 29 cm for the area of Schleswig-Holstein and about 20 to 23 cm for tide gauges located in Lower Saxony. The amplitude is considerably higher than in other parts of the world. Generally, in mid latitudes the mean amplitude of the seasonal cycle is about approximately 4 to 7 cm [
Another challenge regarding the high variability in the German Bight is that the computation of the year-to-year amplitude of the seasonal cycle becomes non-stationary with respect to its phase (see
The detailed analysis of long-term changes in seasonal MSL components (
Due to its location on the northwestern continental shelf, the German Bight is strongly affected by meteorological forces. Therefore it is assumed that changes in the NAO are linked to changes in the seasonal cycle of the MSL. The MSL shows significant correlations with the NAO in the winter months, especially from January to March, whereby the influence is not stationary in time as described by Yan
The interaction between swNAO and swMSL is considered by computing sensitivities of swMSL (in mm) per unit swNAO (see
We also analyze the influence of swNAO on long-term swMSL changes. The results, given in
The results presented here aim to clarify the role of meteorological forces on swMSL in the German Bight. The different behavior of MSL during the months from January to March (compared to the remaining months) led to a redistribution of annual maximum peaks in the last two decades. Assuming that this shift consolidates, the future flood risk may be affected more intensively than previously expected. As described by Pugh [
Influence of swNAO on swMSL (1937–2008) in the German Bight. The thin lines represent the swMSL data (blue = including swNAO; red = after removing swNAO). The thin dotted lines represent the standard deviations and the thick lines show the linear trends. (
MSL records from 13 tide gauges in the German Bight have been analyzed to determine the seasonal and inter-annual development of monthly MSL in the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. The results of this study show that the seasonal cycle has mean amplitude of approximately 20–29 cm along the German North Sea coastline with minimum values in April and May and maximum values in November. The seasonal cycle is overlapped by a strong year-to-year variability, which is significantly higher during the storm surge season (October to March) than in the remaining months. The analysis of the development of the seasonal cycle in the German Bight indicates no long-term changes in the amplitude and phase but a large inter-annual variability. While between 1939 and 1988 the seasonal MSL cycle mostly peaked in November and December, in the last two decades tendencies to a stronger incidence in January and February have been observed.
The more frequent maximum values in January and February coincide with an inhomogeneous seasonal trend development in the German Bight. Considerable differences have been found between winter and summer seasons (
It is well known that atmospheric circulation has a considerable influence on climate variability over Northern Europe [

|CPS then I think she needs to seek a different church
I've also started reading "Mother Nurture" by Rick Hanson et al. On page 81 (in the section on self-forgiveness) they outline it like this:
(please don't get scared away by the word 'incompetence' - it just means we all recognize that our overreactions are inappropriate)
"Stage 1: Unconcious Incompetence: You're not aware of the problem
Stage 2: Conscious Incompetence: You realize you shouldn't be doing it, but
you can't stop yourself. This is by far the most unconfortable stage.
Stage 3: Conscious Competence: The inclination to snap harshly still arises within your mind, but you catch it and do something different, like take a deep breath and speak more calmly.
Stage 4: Unconscious Competence: The tendency doesn't even arise. Sometimes it's even hard to remember that you used to act in a different way"
homeschooling mama to DD 10 & DS 7
Oh wow, this is good stuff for me! I need to get that book. I think I'm stuck in stage 2 right now, trying to get to stage 3.
Secondly, I have read this forum from time to time, but never post for support because I've always been paranoid of being judged by other moms as I'm on my way to becoming the parent I want to be. I am a former spanking mom who is now working on cutting out the yelling parts, too, and REALLY wish I had some folks I could check in with regularly, kind of like an online AA kind of thing for mamas who want to have regular support for gentle discipline, particularly when it doesn't come naturally. But I've been scared to post here because of fearing the judgmental reactions from other moms who may not understand (particularly from those who have only young children, or only one child, and have never been in the shoes of those of us who only in the past few years came around to GD after doing something else for a while).
I started this response after reading the first page of responses. I was inspired by Ruthla's honesty and courage in posting, and BLOWN AWAY by the kindness and encouragement Ruthla received-- that is exactly what I would need in moments I feel I've failed to get me back on the right track. But in the middle of writing this reply, I clicked to read the rest of the responses, and was horrified at how judgmental people are. Adding smilies and saying, "I'm not judging you, BUT" do not make it any less hurtful or judgmental. And responses like that are the reason that mothers like me, who struggle daily to go against the grain of everything I've ever experienced from my own parents, will not post here seeking support. Ever.
Ruthla-- you are not alone it wanting to be more, do more, and grow as a person for your children. We do not all have similar backgrounds and experiences, so none of us here can ever fully understand or offer sound advice to another, but know that there are some of us here who, while we don't condone or encourage what you have done, know what it feels like to fall short and try harder.
OMG so I accidentally said church. You know what I meant. You are just nitpicking. I'm not on a moral high horse - I'm just as much of a screw up as the next person.
From what I understand, if they feel the child was abused (as far as I know spanking lightly with the hand is not considered abuse in most states), they are required by law to report you. This is one of the best examples to me of why punishment is so often detrimental - the person who wants help may not feel they can get it.
I think it's really harding growing up in our society to go against the norm and discipline gently. So many of us grew up in houses where yelling and occasional swats where common occurances. I know my parents yelled all the time, and I remember a time when my mom chased me halfway up the stairs trying to swat my bum. It's hard to always be gentle with my children being brought up in such a manner. I've caught myself yelling and acting in ways that I know are not the "gentle discipline" that I am striving for. That's why I come to this forum. I look for advice from other mama's that have struggled. I want to see what has worked for them, how did they over come the urge to scream when they've just had enough?? I think we all strive to be the perfect AP mama...but it's just so hard, especially when you're faced with tough family situations, such as single parenting. I do think that we should "tread lightly" when a mama comes forth with an issue such as this. We need to tread lightly because this mama is being brave for asking for help and seeking advice. She obviously is in need of sisterhood right now. It is important that we be honest with her, yes, but not in such a way that would make her and other mama's on the board afraid to ever post in the GD forum with problems and frustrations of their own. Be gentle, for obviously this mama (and so many other mamas here) is fragile at the moment.
Counseling really doesn't solve those issues and in turn it adds one more thing to the list that needs to be done.
No - you're right - to be honest I have no experience with CPS and that hadn't occurred to me. There isn't patient confidentiality? That would definitely impact what I would do.
Wait, there's actually debate on whether a person should be addressed kindly and with respect even when they've made a mistake? This is exactly the sort of stuff that keeps people from seeking help. It's amazing that just explaining just what events and feelings lead to this situation is considered "justifying". 'Cause, you know, it's much more useful to just villanise someone rather than try to figure out what the triggers were so that they could be avoided.
As far as I'm aware, Ruthla has many friends in this community. If you can't go to friends for help, who can you go to? It boggles my mind that in a thread where the OP is asking for help, someone posts "get help". That makes just about as much sense as seeing someone being mugged, going "you better call the police, mate" and walking away. I'm not religious but really, people, be the good Samaritan for a change. Be the help, don't just sit and judge. And if you can't provide help, for goodness' sake, stay out of it. That's something I'm slowly but surely learning here.
Ruthla, I've behaved violently myself. I'm not comfortable going into a whole lot of detail here for a multitude of reasons, but if you want to talk, just PM me. I don't have kids yet, so I don't know if I can be of much help that way, but I do know what stress can do to a person.
homeschooling mama to DD 10 & DS 7
I come out of this thread being sad that a mother can have a very understandable amount of trouble and not have counseling options available without having to worry about her kids ending up in foster care.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
I have replied I hope you got it.
I have tried the first three ideas and he is so insular he is not willing to talk to any one. The third has occured to me but he is adopted from 6 weeks of age and I know feels that one woman has deserted him so I don't feel that I can do the same. Whe he was at one of his 5 schools (privately) he saw a lady who was in your field but she got no where with him and he finished up doing his GCSEs from home before he left education for good.
I do appreciate your advice and no this is not an easy one!!

Irish band Solas performs
February 28, 2013
America's No. 1 Irish band, Solas, returns to Grass Valley as part of a 2013 national tour for a Center for the Arts performance at 8 p.m. Friday.
For 15 years, Solas has performed a repertoire of original and traditional songs. In 2008, Solas performed in Grass Valley under the pines at the KVMR Celtic Festival at the Nevada County Fairgrounds.
From Woody Guthrie's "Pastures of Plenty" to Springsteen's "Ghost of Tom Joad" and Tom Waits' "Georgia Lee" to traditional jigs and reels, Solas appeals to music fans of all stripes.
Solas is Gaelic for "light." Regulars on National Public Radio's program, "Mountain Stage," Solas has 11 albums under its belt.
In 1996, Solas burst onto the Irish music scene. Today, anchored by founding members Seamus Egan (flute, tenor banjo, mandolin, whistles, guitars, bodhran) and Winifred Horan (violins, vocals), Solas is rounded out by Mick McAuley (accordians, low whistle, concertina, vocals), Eamon McElholm (guitars, keyboards, vocals) and newest member and lead singer Niamh Varian-Barry.
Solas' bandleader, Egan, was a teen prodigy, recorded his first album at 16 and toured with Ralph Stanley and Peter, Paul and Mary.
The group counts Bela Fleck and Emmylou Harris among its fans along with rap producer Timbaland.
Egan was inspired by his family history to create the band's latest ambitious project, "Shamrock City," which tells the story of Butte, Mont., a copper mining town at the turn of the 20th century, as seen through the eyes of Seamus' great-great-uncle, an Irish immigrant named Michael Conway. With audio recorded in Philadelphia and film footage in Butte, "Shamrock City" illuminates life as an immigrant during the Industrial Revolution. The 2013 EP includes five songs available at gigs, visuals and stories incorporated into the live show.
Solas is drawn to musical social commentary and political songs. With the "Shamrock City" project and current tour, the band is seeking stories from fans to share about their own family histories. Stories are posted weekly on the band's website.
Through their "Shamrock City" project, the band aims to create a more meaningful and open dialogue about many of the issues we face in today's America.
Tickets for Friday's show are $22 for members, $25 for non-members and available online or by phone at the Center's Box Office, 530-274-8384, ext. 14, and at BriarPatch Co-op
Information about the group is available at http://solasmusic.com.

The failure of members of the Illinois House to vote on a bill legalizing same-sex marriage before the legislative session ended shows that "marriage redefinition -- even in the face of intense political pressure -- is not inevitable," said Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco.
It "reflects a failure to have the votes to pass the bill," said the archbishop, chairman of the U.S. bishops' Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage. He called it a "victory in the Land of Lincoln."
He made the comments in a statement released Monday in Washington.
The Illinois legislative session ended the evening of May 31 before House members brought to a vote a measure passed by the state Senate in February. The bill changes the definition of marriage in state law from "between a man and a woman" to "between two persons."
"All persons have inherent dignity and must be treated equally with the respect and justice that is their due," Cordileone said. "That is part of the purpose of the law; it is not the purpose of the law, though, to give people social status, as the advocates for marriage redefinition contend."
He said a diverse group of faith leaders opposed to the marriage bill "spoke eloquently on the reality that nature and nature's God make clear that marriage is the union of one man and one woman."
An official with a gay rights group criticized House members for failing to bring the measure to a vote, saying it was unacceptable for constituents not to know how their state representatives stood on the issue. Jim Bennett, of Lambda Legal, criticized the state - which he called "one of the bluest of the blue" in the Midwest -- for not following Iowa and Minnesota in legalizing same-sex marriage.
In May, Minnesota lawmakers voted to allow same-sex couples to marry, making it the 12th state to do so. Same-sex marriage became legal in Iowa following a decision of the Iowa Supreme Court in April 2009. Illinois would have become the 13th state to legalize same-sex marriages.
In opposing the measure in Illinois, the state's Catholic conference, the public policy arm of the bishops, said early on that it offered "murky religious freedom protections, at best."
In reaction to the House being unable to bring the bill to a vote, the conference said the Catholic bishops were grateful that lawmakers "listened to their constituents and declined to consider legislation that would redefine marriage in Illinois."
Since January 2011, Illinois has recognized civil unions for same-sex couples, giving them the rights of marriage under state law. That law and subsequent court rulings forced Catholic Charities agencies throughout Illinois out of adoption and foster care.
At issue was the agencies' long-standing refusal to violate church teaching and place children with same-sex or unmarried heterosexual couples and instead refer such cases to other agencies or the Department of Children and Family Services. The state interpreted the policy as discriminatory to same-sex couples under the new Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act.
When the Catholic agencies ended their foster care and adoption services, the state's bishops noted that before that, the Catholic church had successfully partnered with Illinois for 50 years in providing such services.

Back in 2006 I used to ask myself "Will someone please kill Joakim Noah?". 4 years later, I don't hate him as much as I used to. Isnt Noah their starting PF?
Anyway, I don't watch many Bulls games but would you trade Igoudala for Deng?
Absolutely No.
Negative. Iguodala's a far superior player.
Also absolutely no.
i just hope eddie jordan doesn't use last night's performance post-dalembert's exit to run more Thad-Speights frontcourts
Wow, the game is on 2 regular league pass channels and HD.
Same starters as last night. Noah is in uniform, but not starting. It looks like Del Negro has trimmed his mullet, which is the most depressing news of the day. That thing was exquisite.
Nice steal by Jrue, then lost Rose backdoor the next time down the floor overplaying for denial up top.
Iguodala hit his first J to open the scoring, looked like he had a foot on the line.
AI9 2/2, nails a three. Jumper looks good, hope he uses that to get to the rim...like that.
Aaand, Iguodala airballs his third jumper. Tone it down.
AI9 looks pissed that Brand couldn't handle that pass for a dunk. It might've hit the rim.
Back-and-forth start.
Thad knocks down an 18-footer, he hit one late last night too, first two I can remember in a while. Good sign.
Lou in w/ 3:33 left in the first for Jrue.
Hmmn, I'd say Thad had some problems with Warrick on that possession.
noah studying at the thaddeus young school of wide open dunking
We have a Kapono sighting, in the first quarter if you can believe. JK for AI9. Not sure why no Carney.
Down by two after the first quarter, 23-25.
Looks like both teams are feeling each other out. Hopefully we'll see Jrue in to start the second quarter.
DANGEROUS lineup in for the Sixers.
That's four HUGE defensive liabilities on the floor together.
Hakim Warrick is having his way against us.
Kapono stinks.
Definately see some flashes in Thad.
feels like we should be losing by way more than 2 right now
Eie falling back into bad habits tonight, unsurprisingly.
thad is all we have on offense right now but it's been enough for the past few minutes
Surprised CHI isn't going right to Warrick every time down the floor.
Did I just hear them say that Kapono hasn't scored a point in 2010?
Sixers making a living at the line, and playing a crazy helter skelter defense on the other end, that hasn't been completely horrible, just bad.
Though they can't buy a defensive rebound.
Stop shooting threes now AI9.
Stop with the jumpers, please. CHI is fouling on every drive.
Lazy play by the starters. Brad Miller just beat the entire team down the floor, that should never happen.
10-0 run for the Bulls.
3 fouls on Sammy, can't believe I'm going to say this, but Jordan should really get Thad back in there, he was going well and you don't need Sammy to pick up his fourth in the first half.
Stop taking jumpers.
How do you foul Brad Miller on a three? Jesus, H, someone take the ball to the hoop.
19-0 run for Chicago. This is just pitiful.
mcgrady has 19 at the half for the knicks
He has 24 now. Looks like the Knicks are upping the pace again.
Jrue needs to get use to driving to the hoop (and hopefully the other players will be looking for the ball).
Bulls end the half on a 23-1 run. Shameful.
Down by 19 at the break.
Well, there's no way to blame that one on Jordan. Bad run started against the bench (barely), but it snowballed against the starters, and they just looked pitiful.
disagree. Every bad move, play, shot, decision is Eddie Jordan's fault!
I've finally found the most active game threads around....too bad we are all depressed fans...
Is Jason Smith in the witness protection program. Considering we only have one center on the roster who hasn't had hernia surgery this year and he has 3 fouls I imagine Smith is not in Chicago. That or Jordan is holding back on him and saving him as a "special weapon" once we make the playoffs. 20-8 baby...
He's got a twisted ankle, I believe.
Ugh, 27-footer at the buzzer by Rose. Great start.
Followed by a Hinrich three. Down 25.
OK, I call timeout now and pull AI and Holiday for allowing those last two 3 pointers.
The first wasn't a defensive lapse, full step behind the line. The second was bad.
EB just doubled his point output on that free throw. Awesome. Tripled it.
am i right that so far this half the bulls have either gotten fouled or hit a 3?
Nah, they hit a long two and then that dunk as well. They haven't had an empty possession, though.
Chicago just can't miss.
...on every possession i meant
That was the best jumper I have seen Iguodala shoot all year. Meanwhile we still can't defend the 3.
I'm glad we have a championship level coach in Jordan who is letting this team work through their problems by themselves.
Sixers switch to a zone, which someone yields a wide-open jumper from the FT line for Hinrich and then a layup for Brad Miller. Sammy picked up his 5th on the latter.
chicago announcer:
"i think eddie jordan right now is just grasping at straws"
Been that way for a long time Neil.
Sammy playing with five fouls. I hope he at least earns the sixth. I'd hate to see a cheap one.
The problem with this game is at the beginning, AI, Brand, Jrue and Sammy could not make shots and kept shooting, then Lou, K and Carney continued the momentum. Jordan has done nothing to mix it up, just his normal, stupid rotations....... So, I still blame Jordan.
I would have, when he could not shoot, replace AI with Lou, then switch others till something works. Same idea w/ the 2nd team.
Iverson's heating up a little. I'd like to get close enough where the Bulls need to at least score a couple points in the fourth to seal the win.
6:46 52-75 Taj Gibson misses dunk
6:43 52-75 Luol Deng offensive rebound
6:41 52-75 Kirk Hinrich misses 26-foot three point jumper
6:39 52-75 Luol Deng offensive rebound
6:39 52-75 Samuel Dalembert blocks Luol Deng's layup
6:37 52-75 Derrick Rose offensive rebound
6:31 52-75 Derrick Rose misses 12-foot jumper
6:31 52-75 Chicago offensive rebound
6:22 Elton Brand shooting foul (Luol Deng draws the foul) 52-75
6:22 52-76 Luol Deng makes free throw 1 of 2
6:22 52-77 Luol Deng makes free throw 2 of 2
4 offensive rebounds on that possession. That's hilarious.
Just give them the layup. It takes less time and effort. I want an efficient defense out there.
Hakim with his second poster dunk. And to think that about 60 hours ago in was in Milwaukee.
Let's go Nova!
Let's go Nova!
Just getting ready for tomorrow.
Sixers have a shot at a five-point possession now.
Brand can't shoot for shit, but he is hustling out there and working hard. I guess that'll have to do.
iverson will be hitting that and-1 12 footer across the lane when he's 95 years old
Lou has definitely upped the pace here. Deficit down to 16.
yeah, brand busted his ass on that 4-on-2 that the bulls just blew, he's bouncing up quick on the boards and it led to that fast break for lou
aaaaand, back up to 20.
jesus, hakim warrick can finish
It's funny, we offered him more money, but he went to MIL because he thought he'd get more playing time there. He probably would've gotten a ton of minutes if he'd signed with us.
abysmal boxing out on that dunk by gibson, thad just stood next to him and watched
Taj Gibson looks like a taller Ron Harper.
Lou can't miss.
Good news: The third quarter was a tie.
Bad news: Sixers are still down by 19 points.
Think back years ago. In the 60's and 70's a coach would admit to himself and team we are in garbage time and empty the bench. No reason not to do that now.
He's coaching for his job, can't give up the ghost, ever.
I'm starting to believe Warrick is better than Speights and Young. Anyone else has that suspicion?
Nice look by Lou for an AI9 slam.
In the last few minutes I have seen Hakim Warrick get to the line, get offensive and defensive rebounds, block shots, make backdoor behind the head passes and very quietly own us. Forgot the poster dunk.
...saw him selling some popcorn and passing beer cups down the aisle too.
Looks like the monster winning streak is going to end at one.
Make it 30.
I'm kind of mixed. It would be fun to see Kapono go the calendar year of 2010 without scoring a point, but I can't believe he suddenly forgot how to do the only thing he's even been good at.
I believe guys get in ruts and runs. He has not played any consistency, even if 2 minutes a game, to get his shots. But, on him, an usher at the Wach said he no longer is out earlier practicing his shooting like he did at the beginning of the year. Wonder why?
For Who? For What?
Not really sure why Jrue isn't in the game right now, not that there's any development going on.
My thought. Jrue is not feel comfortable at all on the court. When the garbage time comes, he shoots much better. I do not think I need to explain why, IMO.
It's a shame Primoz got traded, he could've gotten some burn in this one.
He didn't when we lost by 26, why would Jordan change his substitutions?
HA! They could've let Kapono take the FT on that tech, just to get on the board in 2010, but they gave it to Meeks instead.
Jodie scored his first point as a Sixer. Heres hoping for 19,999 more.
Washington blew a golden chance to help the sixers tonight, allowing the boshless raptors go to on a 14-0 run and not have a 3 game wins treak since their trade.
T-Mac helping NY - maybe they can catch stay ahead of the sixers
32-point loss. Guess the Sixers weren't capable of digging deeper after all.
My wrap will be up some time tomorrow, most likely. Thanks for hanging in there, guys. I need to take a couple of hours away from hoops to clear my head.
"That was a classic butt-kicking. It is probably our first one all year. Every team is going to get one."
I don't know what butt-kicking means but i think it's illarious.
First one?
How bad did they get walloped by Miami in the second half?
Second in the last 3 games....some people aren't in touch with reality.
The two teams we must beat to get into the playoffs blow us right off the court by halftime.
Tonight History was made (I'm almost certain it was/will be)
This was the first time an NBA player started and lost a game by 30 points on the same night his older brother started a game in a NCAA div 1 game and won by 30 points. (Washington Huskies lead UCLA by 32 points as I type this)
Jrue and Justin Holiday.
that intensity and passion from last night really scontinued into this game too, huh.
This game was on the players plain and simple. Everyone stunk it out there before I turned it off in the 4th quarter.
There is only one stat you need to know about this game - Asset:Turnover Ratio (Sixers were 19:15 and Bulls were 26:3).
That's ridiculous.
That 26-3 must be some kind of record.
As I stated after the spurs game....a stone cold lock that the sixers lose this game. From management down to players the Sixers are becoming LA Clippers East--which is ironic since Brand now plays here. The transformation will be complete once they trade their best player for nothing in return even remotely useable...ala Charles Barkley. (Remember all those playoff wins Jeff Hornacek and Tim Perry helped us with ? Nah....me either. )

Remove Saline Breast Implants Using Local Anesthesia for Under $1000

- Chicago, IL
- Last updated: 5 years ago
I'm searching for a plastic surgeon that can remove my saline breast implants using local anesthesia. They are 3 1/2 years old and placed submuscular through the armpit. No capsule contractions. I'd prefer they NOT come out the way they went in so I'm okay with a scar under the breast. If there is anyone that can do this for me for under $1000 please let me know. I need them removed asap. I am in the Chicago area but willing to travel if I can't find a local doctor.

NEW YORK (The Deal) -- The City of Hercules, Calif., needs its electric system bondholders to tender their notes at a discount before April 4, or else the Bay Area suburb risks a default and possibly something worse--a municipal bankruptcy.
The city extended the deadline for bondholders to tender their notes when the count came in short on March 28, but Hercules' interim city manager, Phil Batchelor, warned by phone on Tuesday that a default on the electric system bonds could push the city into Chapter 9 bankruptcy.
The electric system bonds are so-called because they were issued in order to refinance the debt undertaken Hercules' electric grid, which started operation in 2003. Cities don't generally own their electric grids, and Hercules' is losing money.
Mobilizing the bondholders to tender their debt, however, has proved to be a Herculean feat.
The city's bonds are "spread all over the place" rather than being concentrated in the hands of institutional investors, Batchelor said. He noted that the retail investors who hold the bonds may not understand the situation or have the same level of assistance that large institutional investors would bring to the table.
"We are fighting to not go into Chapter 9," Batchelor said.

Beaten Down - Poem by Michael James Kennedy Findlay
Weak, Beaten and Fallen
I lie on the floor for all to see
I am weak, and an outcast
I deserve no life
I deserve to die and rot
People say I am odd, a freak
I am me, Nobody else but me?
Is not been yourself a good thing?
Why do we judge each other?
Before we know each other?
We our who we want to be
Not what everyone likes
But why do we care what people think
We should like ourselves for us
Don't let them beat you down
Stand and show them your not scared
Show them you are you

Saturday Vids: Victims of Acid Attacks
According to Stop Acid Attacks, acid attacks are "a prevalent way for a man to inflict revenge on a woman, who has either turned down his interest or insulted him some way." Women are attacked with sulfuric acid by men, often in public, and men are rarely charged. To learn more about this violent act of misogyny, check out this video recently posted.

Captains' Frazier steers ship with big night
Indians' No. 2 prospect matches his career high by driving in four runs
By Tyler Maun / MiLB.com | June 13, 2014 1:01 AM ET
Through his first two months of full-season ball, Clint Frazier has filled a lot of roles -- leadoff man, center fielder, run producer and base stealer among them. But now he's focusing on being one thing -- himself.
The Indians' No. 2 prospect matched a career high with four RBIs while delivering three hits and scoring three times as Class A Lake County beat South Bend, 13-6, on Thursday.
"I was just going to try to go up there with a clear mind-set and not think too much," Frazier said after the Captains salvaged the finale of their three-game road set. "That's very easy to do whenever your season's not going the way you want it to. I just went out there and tried to play the game like I did when I was in high school, have a lot of fun and just be me at the plate. I had a good night."
The fifth overall pick in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, Frazier entered the day as a .241 hitter with just one multi-RBI game this season. He had a hand in his team's offensive charge from the outset. Frazier singled and scored in a two-run first inning and helped Lake County draw even in the third, driving in Logan Vick after a leadoff triple and later scoring on Eric Haase's sacrifice fly.
The Captains took over in the fourth, and Frazier helped push the inning into overdrive. Lake County loaded the bases against South Bend starter John Omahen, and Vick walked in a run to end Omahen's day. With no outs and the bags still packed, the Silver Hawks summoned Tom Jameson.
"The first thing I saw was this big 6-foot-4 guy coming in and I was like, 'This guy's probably going to throw really hard,'" said Frazier about the 6-foot-7, 245-pound righty. "The first pitch he threw me was inside at 86 miles per hour. I kind of got happy when I saw that. He came back with a fastball right down the middle the next pitch, and I got my pitch and hit it to center field."
Frazier blasted a bases-clearing double and the rout was in motion. The 19-year-old later scored the fifth of nine runs in the inning. Frazier's three-hit day was his first since May 31 and his fourth such performance of the season.
"Whenever things aren't going good, you start pressing," he said. "You get outside your comfort zone. You try to do things you normally wouldn't do. That's the big thing I've tried to set my mind to this year is being Clint Frazier, not trying to be what the fans want me to be. Just going out there every single night and doing the best I can and coming off the field knowing that I laid it all on the line.
"I went from being a guy in high school that, if I didn't hit a home run in a game, I thought it was a bad game. Obviously, I can't do that in the Minor Leagues. My approach has to be refined out here. I have to be realistic when I step in the box. I'm not going to hit a home run every single time."
Despite a sluggish start to the season -- Frazier batted .224 in April and .248 in May -- the outfielder has come up big for the Captains when it's mattered most. He now sports a .400 average (14-for-35) and 16 RBIs with runners in scoring position this year.
"I like pressure positions," he said. "Not that when runners are on, I feel pressured, but it's just a situation where I dig in the box like, 'OK, let's go. We've got to get a run across right here.' I'm not thinking a lot when runners get on base. I didn't know I had good numbers until I looked the other day, but things have gone the way they have and I'm very thankful right now."
Lake County reliever Alexis Paredes (2-1) earned the win, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out two and not issuing a walk in four innings.
Omahen (1-2) took the loss, charged with eight runs on eight hits while walking one in three innings.

By Representative Kisber
Substituted for: Senate Bill No. 2278
By Senator Rochelle
AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Title 50 and Title 56, relative to the establishment of a state-funded incentive program designed to stimulate business and corporate involvement in student financial aid by the provision of partial subsidization of students in career-related work-study positions.
SECTION 1. Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 7, is amended by adding a new part thereto consisting of Sections 2 through 8 of this act.
SECTION 2. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Tennessee Student Employment Incentive Program."
SECTION 3. The purpose of this act is to provide Tennessee resident students enrolled at eligible higher education institutions with greater opportunities for career-related employment as they complete their undergraduate and graduate course curricula. The Tennessee student employment incentive program achieves the twin goals of giving students more career-related work experience and providing private sector employers with an avenue to assist students toward their educational goals.
SECTION 4. The State of Tennessee shall develop a student employment incentive program to provide reimbursement of up to thirty-five percent (35%) of the wages of participating students employed by private, for-profit and non-profit employers. Provided, however, the employment of these students shall not result in the displacement of existing members of the private firm's workforce. Participating students shall be enrolled on at least a half-time basis in an eligible institution as defined below.
SECTION 5. The funds supplied through the Tennessee student employment incentive program shall be paid directly to students in the manner specified in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-4-302, or as a reimbursement to employers of such students, who provide needed services for a specified number of hours in a capacity approved by the board of directors of the Tennessee student assistance corporation.
SECTION 6. The Tennessee student employment incentive program shall be open to Tennessee resident students as defined by regulations promulgated by the board of regents for the state university and community college system who are enrolled at institutions of higher education that are certified as eligible for participation in the Tennessee student assistance award program.
SECTION 7. The Tennessee student employment incentive program shall be phased in over a period of years. First-year funding shall not exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for program planning, start-up and implementation. Subsequent funding shall be established in the General Appropriations Act to enable the program to place students in work-study positions as provided in the plan. The program shall be administered by the Tennessee student assistance corporation with the stipulation that its implementation will require the hiring of a program coordinator and appropriate support staff. If the full amount of funds appropriated for the program is not utilized in any given year, those funds remaining shall revert to the Tennessee student assistance award program for distribution as need-based financial aid grants. The plan shall be presented to the business tax study committee for review and comment by such committee. If after the plan is presented to such committee, funding is provided in the General Appropriations Act to implement the plan, then such plan shall be implemented and the program shall continue in subsequent fiscal years in accordance with available funding as provided in the General Appropriations Act.
SECTION 8. First year funding for the planning process and employment of start-up staff shall be subject to funding being provided in the General Appropriations Act in accordance with the provisions of Section 42 of House Bill No. 3309 / Senate Bill No. 3307.
SECTION 9. This act shall take effect July 1, 1998, the public welfare requiring it, but no expenditure shall be made until funds are appropriated for that purpose.
PASSED: April 29, 1998
APPROVED this day of 1998
Pursuant to Article III, Section 18, of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee, the Governor had House Bill No. 2366 in his possession longer than ten (10) days, so therefore the bill becomes law without the Governor's signature.

University of Miami fans feel the Dolphins have added insult to injury given the dark cloud currently hanging over the Hurricanes' scandal-wracked program.
In an effort to boost ticket sales, the Dolphins (who share Sun Life Stadium with the Hurricanes) will honor the 2008 Florida Gators, who won the BCS championship. The ceremony will coincide with the Oct. 23 visit from the Denver Broncos and QB Tim Tebow, who won the Heisman Trophy and a pair of rings at Florida.
"It will be a great time for me and Tim," said Dolphins rookie C Mike Pouncey, who was drafted in the first round out of Florida in April.
"But I think they're going to boo us."
The Dolphins are sympathetic to the college fans in their home market but are also seeking sympathy in a climate where their ticket sales are lagging as the front office constantly seeks ways to drum up interest in a team that hasn't won a playoff game since 2000.
"We're sensitive to the reaction," said Dolphins CEO Mike Dee while pointing out the Gators fete was planned before the problems in the Hurricanes' program were revealed earlier this month.
"But we have a very significant challenge in our market to market Dolphins football, and unfortunately we're not in a position to be selective about whom we market to. We love everybody, and we have to be aggressive and market in ways that attract new fans."

For more than two decades, Cisco's vision has been to change the way the world works, lives, plays, and learns. Central to this vision are our efforts to integrate sustainability concerns into all of our business practices.
Within the Cisco supply chain, this means that we manage every stage in the life cycle of our products with our four pillars of sustainability in mind - labor rights, ethical management, environmental responsibility, and human health and safety.
Since we work with a range of global partners to manufacture, test, ship, return, reuse and recycle more than 95% of our products, effective management requires clear communication of our expectations, close collaboration with our partners and a strong management system to ensure continuous improvement.
To this end, we have created a Sustainability Management Program that includes the following:
Cisco promotes responsible practices in the wider electronics value chain through industry collaboration. Our participation in the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and other groups enables us to exchange ideas and pool resources with industry peers, respond to stakeholder concerns, and influence the development of industry standards.
Cisco encourages all of its partners to engage with other companies in the industry to ensure that they stay aware of emerging issues and that their programs and processes reflect the best practices and standards available.
For more information about the organizations that we are collaborating and in alignment with the standards:
Cisco has adopted the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition's (EICC) Code of Conduct as our code of conduct for supply chain suppliers.
The Code reflects the basic tenets of responsible management agreed upon by the electronics industry. It is an evolving document that incorporates the feedback of Cisco, its peers, suppliers, customers and outside stakeholders.
Health & Safety
Management Systems
Our global supply chain partners are required to demonstrate a commitment to Cisco's Guiding Principles by implementing a Sustainability Management System and providing evidence of compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct.
To validate this commitment and ensure collaboration, Cisco has in place a Supplier Assessment Process that includes a series of steps that we can take to evaluate a partner's program, ensure that any sites that manufacture Cisco products or components are fully in alignment and work with any partners that need additional support or guidance.
Cisco is committed to sourcing components and materials from companies that share our values around human rights, ethics and environmental responsibility. We are also committed to sharing our progress on specific issues that our customers, investors, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders are concerned about.
Over the past three years, Cisco been actively involved in industry initiatives focused on eliminating conflict minerals from our supply chain. Recent US legislation that requires companies to certify that their products are "conflict free" has strengthened our efforts, and we continue to be actively involved in the development of a robust, ethical due-diligence process to meet our obligations.

The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) is effective January 1, 2012. This law requires large retailers and manufacturers doing business in the state of California with gross worldwide receipts of over 100 million U.S. dollars (USD) to be transparent about the efforts they have undertaken to eradicate slavery and human trafficking in their direct supply chains for tangible goods offered for sale.
As an active member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), Cisco has adopted the EICC Code of Conduct which prohibits the use of forced, bonded, indentured labor or involuntary prison labor. All work is to be voluntary in the production of Cisco's products and services.
