I have a dysfunctional abuse family< I have no support in my life
I wish my family would Man or Woman up and just finally choose who is wrong and right in this family. No one wants to get involved and pretend that everything is perfectly fine. Father is a drunk, mother smooches, enabler, pretends that she's helpless, brother is a drunk, stupid, violent and he feels he is entitled to everything on earth because he wasnt able to read in school. I am sick and tired of theses members in my family and many times I would walk away from these people but I always find myself going back to help but this time its over. I was the one who needed help because I am preparing for my surgery for my epilepsy so yeah I am get brain surgery. Regardless it's still not enough for these people and they still beat on me, threw me against the wall, had me in a choke hold and my father kicked me out when I only had $800 in my name and my mom told me well thats what I get for always wanting to help people, I should mind my own business and I should already know that my brother has a anger problem and father is a drunk so thats what I get, other than that she doesn't know anything about what had happened. What the hell!!! She left me out for dead. She will only help if there is an advantage where she'll get something out of it. After everything she tried to get me to help me again!!! After all of this had happen.
They left me out for dead and when they know I needed the most support in my life right now. The hell with them so I left got my own place, have roommates and taking care of myself which I've become perfect at. Well for the rest of the siblings no one wants to speak up, no one wants to pick sides, they are friends with everyone. Well I'm sick of it. I want to feel I have someone's support. I dont want to feel alone in this family anymore. My other siblings might as well abandon me too if they are not going to console me and be there for me when I need the most support in my life. The HELL with all of them. NO one wants to talk about how messed up this family is. Yup we have the all american family.
I bet you're wondering what caused all the fighting right: Father was already drunk and was mad that the dog needed grooming and he had to drive the dog to the store. It wasn't my idea, not my dog and I didn't ask him for the favor but guess what he took his anger out on me when at first I was calm and told him he's talking to the wrong person and need to vent to the right person. He kept yelling at me, calling me names and finally I said, look you're a drunk you're crazy so leave me alone. That was it and he got in my face, kicked me out and soon enough he joined in when the brother had me in a choke hold. My dad pushed my faced down as I was getting choked.
How in the world did my brother get involved. Well a month ago he had thrown in against the wall. I had to put up with it bc I needed a place to stay so I just let things be. This time the brother tried so be the good guy and told my dad and I to stay in our own space. He came out at the time when my dad just got in my face and was telling him already to leave me alone. My brother told me its always my fault and I always cause the problem. I told him to leave me alone and I can handle my own business. He laughed at me and said "oh yeah like how you handled your business when I threw you up the wall right, sis" and he walked away and laughed. I yelled and told him he's a ***** up and to leave me alone. that made him mad and in seconds he turned around and put me in a choke hold. I couldn't get out with two men on top of me so I did what I could and grabbed my brother by his groin and twisted them and I ran for my life. My dad tried to stop me but I knew I had to get to a safe place and finally I called the cops on all of them.
From then on I've been living on my own, about 3 months now. I bet you want to know how old we are, I'm 29, brother is 20 and dad is in his mid fifties.

Re: I have a dysfunctional abuse family< I have no support in my life
So sorry you've gone through this hell.
You have to stay away from them and continue to build your own life.
I myself had to get away from my family and I also had to learn how to stop engaging with them. Lots of therapy helped, time helped, and claiming my own life has made all the difference.

Re: I have a dysfunctional abuse family< I have no support in my life
It pains me to read your story, my heart goes out to you. I'm glad you called the cops and got yourself out of their. its heart warming to hear that your standing your ground and deciding not to go back. but please do not get mad at your other sibling for wanting to be neutral in this situation. respect their decision for you still havent lost them yet. you might have given up on your dad, brother, and mom, but you still have your other siblings, don't give up on them yet and loose them. and i understand why you feel like you have no support in your life from your family members, but understand that your not completely lost and alone in the woods. you still have friends and their support. they can help light your way if you let them. don't be afraid to open up to them and accept their help. sometime your friends can make you feel like family. so try not to feel bad about not having your family members there with their support because you will always have support from your friends (extended family).
never look down to the ground of the past, but always look up to the sky of the future.

Re: I have a dysfunctional abuse family< I have no support in my life
Gentle hugs to you.
Do what you need to do for yourself to feel secure and loved. The brain surgery is not an easy thing to go through ~ especially without loving support & understanding from others. The brain surgery always brings up huge swings of emotions. It really helps when people are there to support you through the pain.
Online, there are many of us who can offer our support and understanding of what you're going through. But, I know that I couldn't handle seeing written communication for a couple of months after my surgery. I sure NEEDED that support, but I couldn't focus my eyes (actually "eye", my left was covered for more than 3 months) to read. I was very resistant to pain meds, so I couldn't talk on phones either. I just wanted someone to sit at my side and hold my hand.
Sounds easy enough...but it wasn't. My kids were too young to grasp that concept. My hub did his part by keeping my girls entertained and loved when he was around. Otherwise, my mom did that. Either way, I was still very alone. And I was in a lot of pain.
The surgery worked for me. I suppose that I can't complain too much. But I still do! It was just a very difficult experience for me to go through.
A very powerful, life-changing experience to go through. I recommend holding onto people that can and will support you throughout recovery. The more loving people who are willing to help, the better! This way you aren't burdening one or two people. Instead, a few people rotate with a few things that they don't mind helping you with, without any resentment building up inside of themselves. If worse does come to worse, and you don't feel that you have any friends or family that will help you, look into getting professional assistance.
Check out your local county social services for their assitance. Social workers can meet with you. They may decide that a visiting nurse, and independent helper would be helpful to you. There are those people out there, so you don't have to feel so alone.
Very best wishes sent your way!
Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness but because you deserve peace."

Re: I have a dysfunctional abuse family< I have no support in my life
I was raised by an abusive father. it was a family secret, my family was totally dysfunctional. Then here in my 40's, going through social work school, all the traumatic memories began coming back and i had a nervous breakdown. at that point i basically disowned my father. my siblings didnt understand, "it wasnt that bad" they say. i refused to make excuses and live a lie anymore. im free. i have a new family and support system in the people who care for me in my life today. i dont need those people who brought me nothing but harm. any contact with them brings me nothing but anxiety. it feels good not to have that in my life any more.

Jim Grant showed up on CNBC Thursday and dubbed all of us 'lab rats' referring to our unwitting participation in perhaps the most spectacular monetary policy experiment of all time. There is a growing sense among market participants that, having run out of options to stimulate growth, the Fed has simply decided to conduct a kind of clinical trial (a "science experiment" to quote Maria Bartiromo) where the drug is perpetual asset purchases and the subjects are the economy and the financial markets.
Indeed the appropriateness of the analogy becomes ever more apparent each time some formally useful piece of data is stripped of its ability to signal investors and thereby rendered useless by the Fed's heavy hand. Interest rates and spreads are now simply independent variables the Fed toys with and tweaks periodically to determine the impact on economic outcomes and financial markets.
Take the mortgage spread for instance. The spread between 30-year mortgages and 10-year Treasury bonds fell Thursday to just 19 basis points, a record low. Perhaps more important is the absurdity of what that supposedly says about the risk profile of MBS and Treasury bonds: would one really want to assert that mortgages are only 19 basis points riskier than risk-free Treasury bonds?
All of this speaks to a contention that I made last month which is that September will forever be remembered as a turning point; the beginning of the era of limitless money printing. This idea -- that a new regime is in place -- was echoed in a note dated September 18 from Nomura's Bob Janjuah entitled "When Money Dies". Janjuah says in the introductory paragraph that September marks a "significant pivot point":
"...I think historically important events may be unfolding. I think that by their actions both Fed Chairman Bernanke and ECB President Draghi may have belied how deeply worried they are about our economies and the financial system. In short, I see fear in their actions."
Janjuah goes on to say that Bernanke and Draghi have essentially become politicians (albeit Bernanke less so) and that this could jeopardize both the realization of a fiscal union in Europe and an expedient solution the problem of the fiscal cliff in the U.S. Moreover, Janjuah notes that
"Lest we forget, neither QE, nor the LTRO, nor the OMT either have, or will, do anything sustainably positive for growth. The evidence of the last four years is clear." (emphasis mine)
The fact is he says, the notion that because of central bank asset purchases individuals and corporations will begin to spend and consume as though there is no tomorrow is nothing other than wishful thinking. This is similar to the point I made in an article published Thursday:
"...the market expects consumers, tapped-out by years of ultra low or negative real returns on their income generating investments, to carry stocks -- and indeed the entire economy -- forward via a sudden propensity to spend in the midst of the uncertainty occasioned by the fiscal cliff debate."
This is pure 'hopium' to use a term popular with Fed detractors these days.
Ultimately, Janjuah concludes that the new policies could cost central banks their credibility as the current course of monetary policy seems to suggest that central bankers feel they have lost control of the situation and as such must continue to print money just to keep the wheels from falling off so to speak:
"...they [have] abandoned the search for "real" solutions. Instead...[they extend] the same failed policies that got us into our financial and economic despair in the first place. Namely MORE debt, MORE bubbles and MORE monetary debasement."
In the end, Janjuah says that thanks to QE3, a period of risk aversion has been averted and the market has likely skipped straight to the last leg of a cyclical bull market (2009-2013). While he feels the post QE rally could mean another 10% upside for stocks (maybe he's been reading Credit Suisse notes), his longer-term target for the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) remains 800, representing a 45% decline from Thursday's 1460 close. While that's a bit too bearish even for me, you can't say you weren't warned.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Unirac is playing a large role in powering up the biggest solar park of any car manufacturer in North America today.
The project involves Europe's biggest carmaker - Volkswagen, and its recently-constructed 33,600 panel solar park in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The solar park, which sits on 33-acres right next to the factory where the popular mid-size VW Passat is produced, will provide nearly 13-percent of the plant's energy - an amount that could power 1,200 households per year.
"This has been a tremendous collaboration for Unirac", said Peter Lorenz, CEO, Unirac.
"The opportunity to work with Phoenix Solar US and Silicon Ranch really demonstrates Unirac's ability to accommodate a broad range of foundation options in a major commercial project such as this one."
The Unirac ground mount solution, specifically engineered for the Volkswagen Solar Park project, combines its successful ISYS Ground Mount 2.0 with custom racking, resulting in an optimized total installed cost.
The ISYS Ground 2.0 allowed for pre-assembly of module columns prior to installation of foundations and racking. Additionally, contractors were able to build the subassembly while assembling modules to rails in a controlled environment. This method produced a shorter project turn-around time and reduced field-labor, allowing Volkswagen to achieve greater cost savings.
"Close collaboration with Phoenix Solar US has helped us engineer a superior product while reducing the total installation cost of this project," said Tony Borck, Vice President Utility Group, Unirac.
"We're excited to be part of a project that has gained the awarding of LEED Platinum certification to Volkswagen by the USS Green Building Council."

The documentation for the Graph Utilities package does actually give the
following code to compute the all pairs shortest paths from the output of
the GraphDistanceMatrix function:
Drop[FixedPointList[prd[[i, #]] &, j], -1] // Reverse
Although this code works on the trivial example they provide it does not
produce useful answers when applied to the more complicated graph given in
the previous example because the vertices are referred to via an unknown
mapping rather than by name. The best solution seems to be to convert the
graph represented as a list of rules into an adjacency matrix before
computing the all pairs shortest paths. For a 1005x1005 sparse graph on this
8-core, that takes 12.7s and requires ~1Gb of RAM.

I recently made a booking for car hire through FAST CAR HIRE, the car was to be picked up at Chicago airport from Alamo. On arriving at the Alamo office, I was told that the prepaid voucher sent to me by Fast Car Hire was not valid, no booking had been made with Alamo, and no money paid to them.
I have tried to contact Fast Car Hire, they do not reply to phone calls or e-mails. I was told by Alamo that they have had a number of similar incidents concerning Fast Car Hire. Also, on this website, there is a complaint of Fast Car Hire pulling the same scam of a non-existent booking with Budget Car Rental. Has anybody fallen foul of Fast Car Hire and received their money back?

With Adobe LiveCycle ES2, you have the ability to extend the product's functionality using Java classes. This means that you can develop your own Java classes that act as operations within a LiveCycle ES2 workflow. Extending the LiveCycle product in this way enables you to add your own functionality, interact with your existing programs, and integrate with third-party applications. Once a component is deployed, the services contained within the component become LiveCycle services.
In this session we will introduce you to the basic environment around a custom Document Service Component (DSC) and to show how you can develop them yourself. We will then expand on the topic and demonstrate more advanced Java constructs (beans, enumerated types, etc.).

2001 Agriculture and the Environment conference
More than 330 producers, educators, researchers, and conservation professionals attended the conference "Agriculture and the Environment: State and Federal Initiatives" in Ames on March 5-7. The purpose of the conference was to
Highlights of state and federal programs and activities
Activities addressing state and federal initiatives were highlighted during the conference by six plenary speakers, discussions during 28 separate workshop sessions, and through more than 25 poster presentations.
Topics ranged from how local citizens can be involved in watershed projects to a presentation about future of water quality programs from a national perspective.
One topic that attracted interest during the conference was what had been learned about the water quality of Iowa's 132 lakes. Iowa State University scientists reported that first-year monitoring of a 5-year sampling program suggests that Iowa has some of the most nutrient-rich lake water in the world. Also, reports were presented about Iowa's volunteer citizen monitoring program and how the results of this program, IOWATER, are being summarized.
Attendees were encouraged to become involved in the 2002 Farm Bill discussion. A common challenge was for those interested in soil and water issues to work at making land stewardship the centerpiece of the next Farm Bill.
Information about the conference and many of the presentations is available online you may order a copy of the conference proceedings from Agribusiness Education Program, 2104 Agronomy Hall, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011 or e-mail email@example.com
The conference was sponsored by ISU, the Iowa State Water Resource Research Institute, the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Plan to attend next year's conference. The 2002 Agriculture and the Environment conference is scheduled for March 4-6. Reserve these dates on your calendar.

Cassiopeia A
strongest source of radio emission in the sky beyond the solar system, located in the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia about
,000 light-years from Earth. Cassiopeia A, abbreviated Cas A, is the remnant of a supernova explosion caused by the collapse of a massive star. The light from the event is estimated to have reached Earth about 1667
, which makes Cas A the youngest known supernova remnant in the Milky Way Galaxy
. Although the explosion must have been very powerful, no contemporary record exists of its having been observed, so the explosion may have happened behind an interstellar dust cloud. Today the remnant is also weakly observable at visible, infrared, and X-ray wavelengths, and it appears as an expanding ring of material approximately five arc minutes in diameter. The expansion rate of the remnant has been used to estimate how long ago the explosion occurred.

On this page you can download a little program I wrote to ease the pain of unpacking an audio file compressed with FLAC to wav format and putting it on the local drive.
You may ask, why on earth would anyone what to do this? After all, FLAC is a lossless compressor and the extracted bits are the same. The reason? In my experience, playback of the raw wav file from a local disk is subjectively better than decoding it on the fly. In addition, playing from the local disk does not incur the overhead of the network and if the system has lots of RAM, the files will be cached and the disk not accessed.
This is freeware, no charge and while you are free to re-distribute the program I encourage you to point anyone wanting a copy to this page. It will likely change often as this an early version. Please note this program contains portions of the FLAC library created by Josh Coalson, please see xiph.org for more information.
Program developed and tested on Windows 7. Works on both 32 and 64 bit machines and requires the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5 SP 1
V1.0.1 – Slight tweak to progress bar, was not resetting to 0 if decode ran second time in same session.
V1.0.2 – Bug fix to handle multi-line comments.
v1.0.3 – Added support for drag and drop file selection.

Taco Bell Worker Allegedly Handcuffed Himself To Woman Who Refused Dates
Oh, the things we'll do for love.
A Ringgold, Ga., Taco Bell employee came on a bit too strongly when he allegedly handcuffed himself to a co-worker who'd rejected his romantic advances for weeks, according to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun.
For more than a month, Dalton resident Jason Dean's overtures were met with repeated rejection from his would-be sweetheart, identified only as Rebecca. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported that Rebecca, 18, even scheduled her work hours to deliberately avoid overlapping shifts. Read more…

According to reports, Manipal University has set an example in energy conservation. The varsity, which is home for over 25,000 students, has installed 39 solar water heater units to provide hot water to its hostels, medical colleges, and hospital. These units cover as many as 163 building blocks on the campus.
"At present, the university is heating about 3.7 lakh litres of water using these solar water heaters and through this we are saving approximately 9000 units of electricity in a year. Students in hostels get hot water round-the-clock every day. Solar heaters are eco-friendly, and this year four more units will be installed in new hostel blocks," said Derrick I Joshua, environment executive of Manipal University.
To save energy, the university has taken up one more initiative this academic year. According to Manipal University director (purchase and general services director) Col Badrinarayan, the varsity is planning to setup solar units to generate power tapping solar energy that is abundant in the coastal district. "The project is under process and we will use the power generated in these unites in Manipal Institute of Technology," he added.

It sounds like this is the guy who'll know where MGM's money is gonna come from. MGM today announced Bedi A. Singh, most recently the exec VP/CFO of Gemstar-TV Guide International Inc, has been named President, Finance and Administration & Chief Financial Officer of MGM, reporting directly to chairman/CEO Harry Sloan. In this newly created position, Singh takes on the overall responsibility for the company's financial activities. This includes oversight of the studio's relationship with the banking and finance community as well as overseeing MGM's strategic financial planning, plus other duties.
MGM Creates New Finance Prez/CFO Gig

I think Mary Parent can do it even though the karma of this place just sucks!!!!
Hate much these days, "Can't Take It"?
@Jack Burton – seen some of your comments and they are hate filled. That other commenter has a point.
C'mon, "Hot Tub" is MGM's idea of reviving the lion?????
Movies now are always the aging promiscuous dude who relives his sleazy youth, or the young dewy-eyed female who finds her true love and gets married. Are we living in the 1950s still?
there's a contraction in the business. mgm's probably in no man's land, not huge, not a small independent
it's not like there's not enough (bad) entertainment going around
so what's this guy going to do, nothing personal against him
My advice to Bedi A. Singh: Keep It Simple.
There are just too many complications in film financial management these days, and it's hurting the whole industry. Simplify, and everyone will be much happier.
I wish MGM good luck, and hope they can make that all important connection with the audience.
mgm's probably in no man's land, not huge, not a small independent
MGM's size may be its saving grace.
It has the distribution capability to put films in theatres all over the world, it has backers with deep pockets and what appears to be a genuine interest in the company's success, and, most importantly, it is small.
The majority of the studios operating today aren't just big, they're bloated. They've become Jabba the Hutt after a binge at an all you can eat BBQ, can't respond quickly to changing trends, and have deeply ingrained and hidebound management cultures that are more concerned with how films play to their colleagues and rivals at the Malibu golf club than in Peoria.
MGM can reorganize itself into a lean, efficient organisation, and can become successful if it aims for the acceptance of the audience above everything else.

|Lady Cats soccer shuts out WF Hirschi
|From Staff Reports
Jan. 15, 2005 -- SHERMAN - The Sulphur Springs Lady Cats evened their season record at 1-1-1 with a 4-0 shutout of Wichita Falls Hirschi Friday evening in the Sherman tournament.
Ashley Petty, the district MVP last season, knocked in her first two goals of the year, and sophomore Gayle Grand-Lienard booted one goal and assisted on two others.
Senior Tess Bragg added a point on a free kick, while goal keeper Kayla Petty notched a shutout for the Lady Cats.
"The girls came out and played more physical than I've ever seen them play," said SSHS head coach J.J. Williams. "They're coming together as a team and it showed last night."
He also praised the defensive play of Lacy Lopez, who started her first game at left fullback.
"She came out and shut them down," Williams said.
The Lady Cats are scheduled to play again at 2:30 p.m. Saturday against Frisco Centennial on the Austin College field. If they beat Frisco by at least a 3-0 score, they will play again Saturday, but Williams was unsure of the time and opponent.

A camp-tender comes on horseback bringing supplies on a packhorse or on a little Mexican burro.
She was a shepherdess to the core, and hated the poor "packhorse."
They made arrangements to stay out a couple of nights, and took a packhorse with them.
He landed in Charleston in 1735 at the age of sixteen and presently joined a trader's caravan as packhorse boy.
When I rode up to Jack's place I saw his horse and packhorse tied up outside the gate.
Now one packhorse load of dope would be worth a good many dollars, and you can't move anything much easier than a man.
I turned my back and pretended to tighten the straps and girths on the packhorse while she said good-bye to Jack.
Many a man has marched to the scaffold with a less quaking heart than he to the "packhorse."
At a later date this packhorse system became that of common carriers.
Mercy went to a box and took out an old shirt of his,—the one he wore when he first came to the "packhorse."

BOSTON (AP) — As same-sex couples in New York prepare this weekend to tie the knot, their brethren in Massachusetts, the first state to legalize gay marriage, have some advice.
Enjoy the wedding because afterward, they will realize that there are 1,000 or so benefits gay couples can't get because of the federal defense of Marriage Act. Among them: They can't file joint federal tax returns, get federal health plans for spouses or access spouses' federal pensions.
They say their push for equal rights doesn't end with marriage. They want DOMA repealed. The 1996 law prevents the federal government from recognizing gay marriages.
DOMA supporters argue that marriage is a union between a man and a woman and that repeal would violate the views of most Americans.

Split Second
By David Baldacci
Book Review By Amy Coffin
Sean King has reinvented his life after success then failure as a Secret Service Agent. In 1996, a Presidential candidate was assassinated on his watch, and he paid the price. He's now put the past behind him, fashioning a new life as a small-town lawyer in Virginia.
While on a current Presidential campaign, driven Secret Service Agent Michelle Maxwell makes a judgment error that results in the kidnapping of another Presidential candidate.
These events may or may not be coincidental. Best-selling author David Baldacci brings Sean and Michelle together with several skeletons from the past. Their task is dangerous. Any wrong move could result in death in
Split Second
Publisher's Weekly called this tale "less gripping" than Baldacci's previous works and I must disagree with that statement.
Split Second
is thoroughly engaging. There are fewer intricate political and legal details, but that aspect makes the story easier to follow.
Baldacci creates multi-dimensional characters in Sean, Michelle, and Joan (Sean's old flame and colleague). The author pits each player against the others. Their chemistry adds depth and suspense to the page-turning tale. The set for the ending is a stretch, but the author doesn't disappoint in the action department.
Split Second
is one of Baldacci's best.

The 'Silver Linings Playbook' actor smiles as his rumored girlfriend plans a kiss on his cheek while watching Andy Murray face off Jerzy Janowicz.
Action speaks louder than words. Although never addressing his romance rumor with Suki Waterhouse, Bradley Cooper seems to confirm that he has indeed moved from on/off girlfriend Zoe Saldana to the blonde beauty.
The actor was pictured getting cozy with the model when attending the Wimbledon Mens' Semi-Finals in England Friday, July 5. His rumored girlfriend draped her arm over his shoulder and at one point kissed his cheek as he smiled in return.
Another couple who showed off PDAs at the tennis championship was Pippa Middleton and boyfriend Nico Jackson. The socialite donned a striped silk dress from Temperley London's SS/13 collection, while her stockbroker beau suited up for the event.
Other famous faces watching the tennis match included Jude Law, Anna Wintour and Tamara Ecclestone. It was a showdown between Andy Murray vs. Jerzy Janowicz. Murray ended up making into the finals.

Former president George H.W. Bush gets along these days with successor Bill Clinton, but he's still not crazy about the media coverage of his 1992 election loss.
And he definitely doesn't like Ross Perot.
"I know I sound like I'm bashing the press," Bush says in the new HBO documentary 41. "But there was almost unanimity in the press corps that I should lose, and that they were for him (Clinton) -- and that makes a huge difference."
The first President Bush does praise Clinton for "a great job of campaigning" in 1992 on the theme that "I didn't get it -- I was out of touch and all of that."
That said, Bush has a higher opinion of reporters than of Perot, who ran an aggressively anti-Bush independent campaign in 1992.
In fact, Bush refuses to talk about Perot in detail.
"No -- can't talk about him," Bush says. "I think he cost me the election, and I don't like him.
"Other than that, I have nothing to say."
As we reported yesterday, the HBO documentary 41 features Bush discussing his eventful life, from a privileged upbringing in Connecticut and Maine to the Oval Office in Washington.

The policy brief, Play in the Early Years: Key to School Success, was produced to educate policy makers, legislators, school
superintendents, and early care and education organizations and
advocates of the value of play for early learning. This research-based
brief explains how play contributes to school success by helping
children develop the skills necessary for the development of logic,
literacy, self-regulation and social negotiation, critical thinking,
and leadership. The brief describes the importance of play for early
learning and emphasizes that play is not a break from learning-it is
the way young children learn. The brief also highlights how the
benefits of play increase when children have skilled teachers who are
well-trained in understanding how play contributes to learning.
in the Early Years: Key to School Success Policy Brief, May 2007
the policy brief | Order
The play pamphlet, Play: It's the way young children
learn, is an easy-to-read less academic version of
the policy brief intended to help parents and teachers increase their
knowledge of the importance of play for early learning, provide
resources for parents and early care and education teachers to better
support the development of young children, and to educate parents and
providers that play is not a break from learning - it is the way young
children learn. The pamphlet is available in English, Spanish, Chinese,
Vietnamese, Korean and Farsi.
The Early
Childhood Funders formed a partnership with the Bay Area Council to
engage business to support early childhood education. Business leaders
are aware that a well-educated high-performing workforce is critical to
competing in a global economy. Research shows that investments in
high-quality educational experiences significantly improve not only
school achievement but also a range of social and emotional outcomes
throughout life. Economists have shown that public investments in
high-quality early care and education generate a higher rate of return
than almost any other public investment.
The Early
Childhood Funders worked with the Bay Area Council to produce the
report, Key to Economic Success in the 21st Century:
Investment in Early Childhood Program, which
summarizes much of the research available on the value of early care
and education.
Click below to

An ECF
Messaging/Policy committee was established in 2010 to explore the
development of a messaging campaign to promote the value and importance
of early childhood development and to unify early childhood advocates.
The committee held a facilitated convening in March 2011 with 12
different ECE advocacy groups and gained their consensus on the value
of unified messaging to promote early childhood development among
policy makers and the general voting public. In addition, the committee
conducted a review of the early childhood literature to identify common
themes, and interviewed 23 early childhood leaders representing a
variety of points of view and organizations, to get their input on the
themes identified. ECF's objective was: to develop a long-term media
effort to communicate to voters the importance of, support for and
investment in early childhood development and to unify and expand the
field of advocates supporting this messaging campaign.
ECF continued to explore the role it can play to increase support for early childhood development considering a number of options. The ECF Messaging Committee hosted a convening on October 13, 2016 with communications specialist Anat Shenker Osorio to explore the messages that we use and how this helps or hinders making the case for California's children. The day-long forum Minding our Words: Messaging to Win Better Policy for California's Children and Families included ECF members and invited representatives from local and statewide children's advocacy groups. At the forum we explored the "frames" that we use to promote our vision, how people process information and communicate, and how we can better shape our messages to influence policy makers and the public. A comprehensive Language Analysis Messaging Report and a shorter Messaging Brief are available below.

In 1997, the ECF
created the Quality Child Care Initiative (QCCI) to promote the need
for quality child care in response to welfare reform. Over five years,
in two separate funding rounds, QCCI raised more than $4 million and
issued over 80 grants aimed at building a sustainable child care
workforce, strengthening advocacy for child care, creating new and
improved child care facilities, and making child care more accessible
to families.
The following
documents and reports describe QCCI activities and lessons learned from
the Second Round of grantmaking. The entire report
is available, as well as an Executive Summary, and the individual
chapters of the report detailing the grantee funding areas. The report
from Round One of funding is also available. They are hosted by Action
Alliance for Children on behalf of the Early Childhood Funders.

Some employees think getting a prescription is enough to claim FMLA leave. Fortunately, that is not true. Otherwise, every employee would be entitled to time off just because they took a prescription drug.
Recent case: Eric Barker sued his former employer after he was terminated. Barker claimed that he had been fired because he needed intermittent FMLA leave for a chronic condition.
But all Barker could show the court was that his doctor prescribed an anti-anxiety medication that he sometimes took. He told the court anxiety bothered him only once in a while, causing him to need an occasional break to recompose himself.
That wasn't good enough to prove that Barker had a serious health condition qualifying him for intermittent FMLA leave. His case was dismissed. (Barker v. R.T.G. Furniture, No. 09-13683, 11th Cir., 2010)

Media Options
Segment Summary:
When the Mars Space Probe crashed off the coast of Chile, 4 batteries holding up to a half a pound of deadly plutonium were released into the ocean, an amount that could potentially destroy the entire eco-system of the area. Carl Grossman, producer of the documentary "Nukes in Space: Nuclearization and Weaponization of the Heavens", maintains that plans are still in place to send even larger amounts of plutonium into space and discusses the planned Cassini Space Probe mission. This mission would launch 72 pounds of plutonium into orbit around Venus and back, enough to expose 99% of the earth's population to radiation if it were accidentally released into the atmosphere upon re-entry. Grossman has been covering this issue for a decade, but laments his failure to get wider recognition of the issue due to media sponsorship of energy corporations such as Westinghouse and GE ("the Coke and Pepsi of nuclear power").
Segment Subjects (keywords for the segment):
Mars Space probe, plutonium, radiation, Carl Grossman, Cassini Space Probe

Application timing of preemergence herbicides
The optimum application timing for preemergence herbicides varies depending on both the characteristics of the herbicide and environmental conditions. Applications made at or close to planting usually are more consistent than applications made several weeks ahead of planting, except in situations where no significant rainfall events occur in the first few weeks following planting and herbicide application. During dry springs, early preplant applications may be more consistent than at-planting applications due to the greater likelihood of the herbicide being moved into the soil profile by rain. However, early preplant herbicides may fail to provide full season control in years with above average rainfall or delayed planting due to the greater time period between application and crop canopy formation.
Early preplant applications also are used to eliminate the need for burndown herbicides in no-till fields. Several weed species have emerged around Iowa (e.g., giant ragweed, sunflower, lambsquarters). Because many preemergence herbicides will not control emerged weeds, early preplant applications may not eliminate the need for burndown herbicides in fields with weeds present.
Research conducted by weed scientists at the University of Illinois reported differences in giant foxtail control with several acetamide herbicides applied at different intervals ahead of planting. Metolachlor (Dual), acetochlor (Surpass, Harness), and dimethenamid (Frontier) were applied at 15-day intervals from 60 days before planting until planting. Metolachlor was the most consistent product with very early application dates (Table 1) For example, at DeKalb all products provided greater than 95 percent foxtail control when applied at planting. However, only metolachlor provided greater than 90 percent control when applied 30 days before planting (DBP) or earlier. The other two products provided less than 80 percent control with early application dates. At the Urbana location, no product gave acceptable giant foxtail control, regardless of application timing. Metolachlor again was the only product that did not show decreased performance with applications made 30 DBP or earlier.
Early applications may reduce the risk of poor performance due to lack of rain, especially for growers who are unable to supplement preemergence herbicides with rotary hoeing. Growers willing to rotary hoe their fields when necessary are likely to achieve the most consistent control with applications made at or close to planting. Applications made more than two weeks ahead of planting should be viewed primarily as a convenience, rather than as a method to improve herbicide performance. Table 2 lists application restrictions for several herbicides used for grass control in corn. Due to the greater persistence of metolachor, this product is usually better suited for applications made more than four weeks ahead of planting. Differences in persistence among these herbicides is less of a factor with applications made within four weeks of planting.
Generally, Iowa State University recommends that herbicide preplant and preemergence applications be made as close to planting as possible. Supplemental weed management such as rotary hoeing and cultivation is a critically important component of weed management programs and lessens the variability of herbicide performance attributable to unfavorable rainfall patterns.

Without question, it's better to be awoken by the device's alarm than by the blaring horn of an oncoming vehicle.
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) March 15, 2014
Safety Technology, the country's leading drop ship wholesaler of self defense products, has launched a new, potentially lifesaving Nap Alarm Sleep Alert.
The Nap Alarm Sleep Alert is worn over the years, and is designed with an electronic position sensor. When a driver's head nods forward, the device instantly emits a loud alarm to avert a potential disaster. The device requires no external power source, and runs on three AG13 alkaline button cell batteries (included).
In addition, the Nap Alarm Sleep Alert is ideal for non-drivers, including security guards, machine operators, students cramming for an important exam, and anyone else who wants to make sure that they're awake and alert, instead of drifting off to sleep.
"Though none of us would like to admit it, we've all made the mistake at one time or another of driving while fatigued and drowsy," commented Safety Technology's CEO and founder Michael Gravette. "And while it's essential for personal and public safety for drivers to avoid getting behind the wheel when they aren't completely awake and alert, our new Nap Alarm Sleep Alert is a functional back-up support system just in case. Without question, it's better to be awoken by the device's alarm than by the blaring horn of an oncoming vehicle."
Those interested in purchasing a Nap Alarm Sleep Alert for themselves or someone they care about, can order online at: http://personalself-defenseproducts.com/personal-alarms/nap-alarm.html.
Those interested in selling Nap Alarm Sleep Alert and provide their customers with an in-demand safety product can learn more at: http://www.safetytechnology.com/napalarm.htm.
