Colombo, July 27 (ANI): Kusal Perera's flamboyant century helped Sri Lanka to hammer Pakistan by 165 runs in the fifth and final ODI at Hambantota on Sunday.
However, Pakistan, despite losing the final match, won the series 3-2 as they had already secured the trophy at Premdasa Stadium on Wednesday.
The left-handed opener, who scored his second ODI hundred, shared a brilliant 162-run opening stand with destructive Tillakaratne Dilshan (62), as the hosts set a mammoth target of 369 runs for the visitors.
Skipper Angelo Mathews and Milinda Siriwardana did justice to this start, by scoring a flurry of late boundaries as Sri Lanka amassed 107 runs in the last eight overs of the innings.
Chasing the target, Pakistan made a relatively slow start, adding 46 runs in the first nine overs. The team was sailing at 116-2 in the 20th over following a decent opening partnership of 51 between skipper Azhar Ali and Ahmed Shehzad, before they succumbed to pressure of the huge score and lost last eight wickets for just 87 runs.
Mohammad Hafeez (37) and Azhar (35) were the lone contributors as the tourists faltered badly under lights despite good batting conditions.
Perera, who played a brilliant knock of 116 runs, was declared man of the match and Pakistan's batting all rounder Hafeez was adjudged man of the series.
The two teams will now lock horns for the two-match T20 series, scheduled on July 30 and August 1, in Colombo. (ANI)

Bundy hurls Baysox to win in EL opener
Three Bowie homers back No. 2 Orioles prospect in 4-2 victory
By Zack Cox / Special to MLB.com | September 5, 2012 8:30 PM ET
The Orioles' No. 2 prospect pitched like a seasoned veteran in his postseason debut Wednesday night, allowing a run on six hits over six innings in Bowie's 4-2 win over Akron in Game 1 of the Eastern League semifinals.
Bundy, making his fourth start for the Baysox after stints in Class A Delmarva and Class A Advanced Frederick, struck out seven batters in the contest while walking just one.
"It was one of my better outings at Double-A," the right-hander said. "Being a playoff game, it was a great atmosphere to play in, and I was happy to get the win."
The No. 4 overall pick in the 2011 Draft worked his way out of a pair of tight situations in the game as wild pitches put men on third in the first and sixth innings. Bundy did not allow either to score, however, striking out the final two batters in the first and inducing a groundout from Matt Lawson to end the sixth.
A solo homer by Lawson in the second was the only run the Aeros managed off MLB.com's No. 7 prospect.
Bundy has been dominant in his first year in the Minors, finishing the regular season with an overall 9-3 record with a 2.08 ERA over three levels. He had never faced Akron previously in his brief Double-A career, and said his strategy was largely based on scouting reports given to him by his coaching staff and catcher Brian Ward.
"It was really just [about] pitching to my strengths, not knowing the team, not knowing how to face some of the hitters," he said. "My pitching coach [Kennie Steenstra] and my catcher knew about them a little bit, so they gave me some feedback on what pitches they like to hit and where not to throw them. ... The catcher called a good game for me."
All four Baysox runs in the game came via home run. First baseman Rhyne Hughes gave Bowie its first lead with a two-run shot in the fourth and Ronnie Welty and Ty Kelly followed with leadoff homers in the fifth and sixth respectively.
Bowie took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series and will host the Aeros again Thursday night before traveling to Akron for the remainder of the series.
"It's huge getting Game 1," Bundy said. "It's the most important game. We really need to get another one tomorrow, then we go on the road for three. Being up, 2-0, would be really nice to go on the road with."
In other Eastern League action:
Reading 4, Trenton 2
Homers by Tommy Joseph and Leandro Castro broke a tie game in the seventh inning and powered the Phillies to a 4-2 win over the Thunder in Game 1 of other semifinal.
Joseph -- the Phillies' No. 4 prospect -- sent the first pitch he saw in the seventh over the right-field wall and the team's No. 17 prospect followed suit in the next at-bat.
Left fielder Ramon Flores put the Thunder on the board first with a two-run shot off Reading starter Austin Hyatt in the fourth. Reading responded in the bottom of the fifth as Jake Fox led off the frame with a solo homer and Tug Hulett came home on a one-out groundout by Jiwan James.
Reading's six hits and four runs were charged to Trenton starter Brett Marshall (0-1). Reliever Tyler Knigge picked up the victory with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. Gameday box score

Bethesda MD (SPX) Apr 08, 2014
Intelsat General Corp. and L-3 Communication Systems-West (L-3 CS-West) announced the successful demonstration of new U.S. Air Force Protected Tactical Waveform technology over Ku-band transponders on the Intelsat fleet.
The demonstrations and performance characterization were conducted at the Intelsat teleport in Ellenwood, GA, during the week of March 4th. Engineers conducting the tests measured the performance of anti-jam modems and waveform technology from L-3 CS-West on a Ku-band satellite emulator and over the Galaxy 18 satellite, built by SSL and launched in 2008.
The tests, observed by a representative from the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center, demonstrated full-duplex voice, video and IP data via the Air Force's new Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW).
L-3 CS-West is currently working under an Air Force contract, performing studies and developing proof-of-concept modem and security designs using PTW. PTW is designed to provide affordable, anti-jam SATCOM capabilities over existing satellites, leveraging commercial, off-the-shelf technologies.
The testing and transmissions over an existing Intelsat Ku-band satellite validate the compatibility of the PTW with commercial space assets. They also pave the way for future affordable upgrades to provide anti-jam protection to existing Ku-band systems, such as Army, Navy and Air Force remotely piloted aircraft.
"Through our collaboration with Intelsat, both airborne and ground users will be able to upgrade using L-3 wideband modems for both higher capacity and protected capabilities," said Val Snyder, President of L-3 - Communication Systems West.
"These results are a big step toward providing our customers the ability to modernize their existing assets to include protected capabilities within the fiscally constrained defense budget environment of today."
L-3 CS-West provided PTW terminal and hub modems to support the end-to-end tests. The modem technology supports processing bandwidths up to 2 GHz and data rates from 10 kbps up to 300 Mbps.
Following the successful demonstration, Intelsat and L-3 CS-West plan to further analyze the potential capabilities of the PTW on Intelsat EpicNG satellites over the next year. The companies expect to conduct additional demonstrations on the Intelsat EpicNG platform in 2015.
"The results achieved are an important step toward future upgrades for existing Ku-band users in a constrained budgetary environment," said Mark Daniels, VP of Engineering and Operations at Intelsat General.
"In addition to anti-jam communications over legacy Ku-band systems, the increased performance, localized beams and wider bandwidths of our new Intelsat EpicNG technology could offer government customers potential protection levels that are extremely attractive."

Epidemiologic Notes and Reports Rubella Outbreak among Foreign- Exchange Students -- Tennessee
On August 3, 1981, the University of Tennessee at Martin reported that 7 Japanese exchange students had been hospitalized with a preliminary diagnosis of rubella. These students were part of a group of approximately 200 Japanese students and professors who had arrived in Tennessee on July 5, 1981, for the 10-week summer session. They all stayed in the same dormitory and attended classes that were separate from other summer-session meetings, but they mingled with students and the general public outside of class. The 200 Japanese visitors represented 7.4% of the 2,700 summer students then in attendance at this section of the university.
All 7 patients had a maculo-papular rash, low-grade fever (temperature of 102 F, 38.9 C), and either arthralgia or posterior auricular or occipital adenopathy. The initial patient had rash onset on July 11 (Figure 3), 6 days after leaving Japan; was hospitalized with a preliminary diagnosis of Rocky Mountain spotted fever; and was treated with chloramphenicol. The second patient had rash onset on July 25 and was hospitalized with a preliminary diagnosis of measles. Neither case was reported to the health department at the time of illness, and no serum specimens were available for rubella testing. Five tertiary cases occurred the first week of August; all these patients were kept in the university infirmary for at least 1 day each. By the end of the first week in August, all 7 cases were suspected to be rubella and were subsequently reported to the Tennessee Department of Public Health. The diagnosis was confirmed for 4 of the 5 tertiary cases on the basis of a greater than or equal to 4-fold rise in rubella hemagglutination inhibition titer between the acute- and convalescent-phase serum specimens.
An investigation on campus revealed that 21 Japanese students (10%) had previously received rubella vaccine. In contrast, a review of 200 health records chosen at random from records of the 2,500 American summer students in residence showed that 67% had documentation of having received rubella vaccine. On August 4, 188 Japanese students and faculty were vaccinated with combined measles and rubella (MR) vaccine. The MR vaccine was also offered to other summer students and staff. No other clinical cases of rubella occurred among the Japanese students, and there was no known spread to hospital employees or to other students on campus. Reported by IF Porter, MD, H Westmoreland, RN, University of Tennessee-Martin; P Duncan, RN, RH Hutcheson, Jr, MD, MPH, State Epidemiologist, Tennessee Dept of Public Health; Immunization Div, Center for Prevention Svcs, CDC.
Editorial Note
Editorial Note: College-age adults form a large part of the population that remains susceptible to rubella in the United States (1). Like measles, rubella will probably be introduced periodically from foreign countries, often by college-age foreign-exchange students. The lack of disease spread in this instance is attributed to the separate dormitory and classes that the Japanese students attended, as well as to the higher rates of rubella vaccination among other summer students on that campus.
Universities should be encouraged to develop programs to ensure rubella vaccination at the time of entry for all students, staff, and faculty, including foreign-exchange and other visiting students and professors. Before vaccination, female students, staff, and faculty should be asked if there is any possibility that they are pregnant. Pregnant women should not be given rubella vaccine, and all other women should be informed of the risks of vaccination and advised not to become pregnant for 3 months after vaccination (2). Programs are most likely to be successful if proof of rubella immunity* is required.
In the example cited here, 3 generations of cases occurred before the diagnosis of rubella was considered. Since the incidence of rubella has declined to record low levels (3), clinicians and public health workers should be reminded to consider rubella in the differential diagnosis of rash illness and to collect appropriately timed blood specimens for serologic study. Only if rubella is diagnosed early in an outbreak can appropriate measures be instituted to control spread in the community and in institutions such as universities.

"Crime and Punishment" a true Chamber production
"Like a beautiful, edgy piece of music... a true 'chamber' piece."
That's how Michael Wright, the artistic director for the Milwaukee Chamber Theater, refers to his latest theatrical production.
This past Thursday, the Milwaukee Chamber Theater (MCT) opened 2008's first production, "Crime and Punishment," in the Third Ward. This adapted version of Dostoevsky's 1866 novel brought new challenges to MCT as it demands only three actors play all the pivotal characters. And as Wright puts it, it "is exactly the kind of work we should be doing."
Despite the obvious challenges of minimizing a 500-plus page book into a taut 90-minute play, the work's small, intimate style is what Wright seeks for the Milwaukee Chamber Theater. Wright, who began as artistic director of MCT in 2005, has worked to initiate a return to "chamber" style theater in Milwaukee.
"I firmly believe that the word 'chamber' in our organization's name should be an integral part of our identity. Taking a cue from the world of music, I consider a 'chamber piece' to be an intimate work presented by a small ensemble of highly-skilled players. The main focus should be on the power of the writing ... But I don't ever want to lose sight of our purpose. We're storytellers first and foremost; everything should stem from and revolve around the story and the words," says Wright.
"(MCT) was founded by a group of actors that had a strong commitment to and affinity for great literature. We're still following that lead. To encourage and nurture emerging playwrights, we've established a New Works Series which includes a script development initiative and an annual Young Playwrights Festival. I suppose that's what most clearly delineates us -- our literary bent."
Wright's vision for small stage, small cast productions has brought such hits as "Moonlight and Magnolias," "Talking Heads" and "Trying" to the theater in the last year. Each of the productions, featuring anywhere from two to six actors, fits into the theater's renewed mission for strong writing and solid production with an emphasis on including and engaging the local community. "Crime and Punishment," aims to do just the same.
"Crime and Punishment," which was recently a huge New York off-Broadway hit, already has a growing buzz in Milwaukee. Wright hopes the show will draw enthusiastic audiences here, too.
"We have an incredible director, cast and design team who are passionately investing in this project. They're all just throwing themselves into it. I feel pretty confident that our patrons will find a lot to talk about when they leave the theater."
Director Patrick Holland took on the challenge of directing this adaptation which investigates the darker side of the human psyche through a gripping narrative of murder and betrayal.
"It's very visual and raw. The performance will leave the audience discussing its ambiguities long after seeing the show," says Holland.
"The way Curt and Marilyn, the playwrights, have adapted the play makes the story resonate in a contemporary and psychological way. It's very compelling," Holland says.
Holland says he hopes the show will spark discussion among viewers.
"I hope they argue the play's themes of redemption, Christianity and psychological crime. I also hope the audience walks away wanting to see more productions of theatre like this," says Holland.
RexWinsome | March 17, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. (report)
My Review of this show (more reviews by Rex Winsome of Insurgent Theatre can be found here: http://rwinsome.blogspot.net) Marilyn Campbell and Curt Columbus' script is the only way I can think to condense something like Crime and Punishment into a 90 minute play. Scattered impressions of the story arranged to cover the exposition as clearly and efficiently as possible give us a very good surface understanding of what this deep probing novel is about, but Chamber's Crime and Punishment doesn't engage with Dostoevsky's themes, it doesn't give the audience an expanded understanding of the human condition, of guilt, or of the phenomenon of spontaneous self-defeat, it's more a book report. It's a very good book report, though! The stage design is beautiful. Psychological lighting and sound are very effective throughout, with the exception of the overwrought, cliche cinematic effects during the murder and the final moments of the play. (Does anyone really read an evil red glow or a beam of redemptive light as anything but the most flat cartoon of these symbols?) The set designs and costumes were also beautiful, depicting the scattered unhinged nature of the main character more effectively than the actor himself could. I would've liked to see some real filth though, greasy, dirty smudges rather than painted on stains and immaculate white debris. The acting was very capable. Mic Matarrese portrayed a dense complex character, unfortunately not the anxious, fretting, self-hating and unreliable Rashkolnikov needed to truly explore Dostoevsky's themes, but a full, believable, complex figure nonetheless. Leah Dutchin's three very different roles were all handled capably, but none spectacularly. I would rather have seen three actors able to focus and get to the core of these characters.The genial manipulative inspector Porfiry (played by Drew Brehl) was the most fully realized, but his choice for Marmeladov as a pathetic smiling drunk rather than a miserable specimen of complete human worthlessness missed the point of this character. But the script is partially at fault for this as well. It's condensation left out key elements of Rodya's family, and with them, the root correlations between the characters in this story. These correlations are mostly unstated by the novel's unreliable narrator, but when considered, they provide the true motive, not only for Rashkolnikov's crimes, but also his actions toward and concern for Sonia, Lisaveta, and Marmeladov. Rashkolnikov has to do what he does to prove that he is not a worthless mooch like Marmeladov, and that his sister is not a sacrificial whore like Sonia. Instead of this explanation, this script focuses on all the post-hoc justifications and mental gymnastics Rashkolnikov confuses himself with, which leaves the audience ultimately unsatisfied with his entire character arch. There were many moments of great theatre in this production. My favorite was the moments when Rashkolnikov directly addressed the audience. Matarrese Penetrated the 4th wall with impressive care, subtlety and earnestness, allowing the play to quietly but clearly shift into our reality and then back to the story. Such things are risky experiments given Chamber's older more traditional audiences, i would've liked to see more, but most people paying over $30 for theatre don't have much tolerance for the things I'm looking for on the stage. If the goal of this production was to turn a novel about the dregs of humanity floundering in the absurdity of life and self-defeating crisis into a safe and even uplifting condensation of dusty classic literature for the simple amusement of Chamber's aging bourgeois patrons, then the play was hugely successful, but it leaves the rest of us wanting something more.

It's been awhile since I have posted pretty organization inspiration, so I am happy to share with you my latest project today! I have always been a big believer in hand-written notes. Whether it's a thank you, a birthday card, or just a little note to say "hello", it's such a fun surprise to receive one in the mail, or send one off to a friend! In elementary school, I remember getting in trouble for using class time to write notes to friends and not paying attention to my teacher. I guess old habits die hard! Because of my deep love for the hand written note, I am always on the hunt for witty, unique cards. Some of my favorite online retailers are Sugar Paper, Rifle Paper Co., and Oblation Papers:
My desk was beginning to overflow with random cards being stuffed in every drawer, and as an organization freak that wasn't going to do. When I saw I Heart Organizing share a greeting card organizer, I had to make one for myself:
I found this cute blue box at The Container Store. Then, I made labels with different card categories, such as "Thank you", "Holiday", and "Sympathy":
Now all my favorite cards have a home!
You likey? Then make one for yourself!

Quilotoa Loop: Day 2
02.02.2013 - 02.02.2013
View Teenie Travels Around the World on chschen's travel map.
Nothing but the sound of muted footsteps, shuffling over a grass-softened path. A valley reminds you of every other valley you've ever been in, and they are all pleasant memories. Sheer limestone cliffs. Rocky ridges of odd, untamed shapes. Have you ever heard the braying of a donkey? It is a desperate, angry, futile sound. A sound that belies the donkey's soft nuzzle, its comic, hare-like ears.
But the town is never in the valley. The town is on a hilltop a thousand meters up scrabbly, eroded paths. Every few minutes you rest; remarkable how your legs continuously fail you. Or your lungs. You scan the valley below, spot the whitewashed church where you made a right, satisfied now with its tininess.
When you arrive in Chugchilan, you are too tired to be relieved. You decide it does not take much to be called a town--just a church and a smattering of anonymous buildings. You remember that as you hiked you barely saw another soul, though the evidence of humans was all around you. It is not so much different from how animals live--rarely to be seen though their tracks are everywhere in the dirt and sand, in the snow. For some reason you are immeasurably pleased by this.
Right now you are only making impressions. Later on they will be a single, solid story, surprising in its freshness.

Celebration, the worship resource of National Catholic Reporter, held its second annual conference on effective liturgy July 21-23 in Chicago. The three-day meeting brought together professionals involved in worship under the theme "A Knock at Midnight," taken from one of Jesus' parables about persistence in prayer.
Celebration, the worship resource of National Catholic Reporter, held its second annual conference on effective liturgy July 21-23 in Chicago. The three-day meeting brought together professionals involved in worship under the theme "A Knock at Midnight," taken from one of Jesus' parables about persistence in prayer.
Speakers included Gabe Huck, Benedictine Sr. Mary Collins, Fr. Roger Vermalen Karban, Wes Howard-Brook, Denise Simeone and Grayson Warren Brown. The speakers addressed the many challenges that confront worshiping communities at a time of national crisis and tension within the church. Mercy Sr. Theresa Kane spoke at the conference luncheon on July 22, the Feast of St. Mary of Magdala, on the question: "Woman, Why Are You Weeping?" (See accompanying story.)
Huck, who served for 26 years as director of the Chicago archdiocese's Liturgy Training Publications, traveled to the conference from Damascus, Syria, where he and his wife, Theresa Kubasak, have lived since 2005, engaged in peace initiatives.
In his keynote, Huck addressed the "ecclesial midnight" faced by those who have dedicated their lives to implementing the vision of the church promulgated in the documents of Vatican II, urging persistence and hope in the face of resistance to change and attempts to restore worship more suited to a monarchical model of the church.
Huck praised Fr. Gerard Sloyan, present at the meeting, for his long service at The Catholic University of America in Washington and with the Liturgical Conference, a national network of reformers started in Chicago in the 1940s. Their efforts, Huck said, unified Christian formation, Bible study, liturgy and justice. This integration of the basic elements of Christian living was a key to energizing both Catholic worship and involvement in civil rights, global disarmament and the push for economic justice.
Kane's remarks on the struggle of women in the church drew special attention because of her support for women's ordination, a cause that the Vatican's Congregation for Doctrine of the Faith recently called a "grave crime against the sacrament of ordination."
To see edited portions of Sr. Theresa Kane's talk read 'In the fullness of time, God's purpose will be revealed'

I am a nondenominational interfaith minister serving Maryland and Northern Virginia. Having discovered that working with brides and grooms to create the wedding ceremony of their dreams is much more rewarding than I had ever anticipated, I focus much of my energy officiating weddings. It is my honor to offer organized, dependable, and flexible wedding ceremony services to couples choosing to work with me.
For me, "nondenominational interfaith" means that no one particular faith is any more or less relevant than another. I believe that at their foundations, most religions and philosophies share fundamental principles and values. Therefore, I make every effort to honor the many belief systems, backgrounds, and heritages I encounter. Because I also believe that we have all chosen to follow a different route to the same final destination, I appreciate each person's unique connection to Spirit. Providing that it brings harm to no one and no thing, I respect whatever path each person has chosen to walk in this life.
My ordination followed five years of intense study at schools in the Baltimore area, emphasizing comparative religion, philosophy, self-observation, meditation, and metaphysics. In May 2002, I was proud to complete the four-year program and graduate. Pulled to serve the community in a broader capacity, I became involved with The Sanctuary Spiritual Science Congregation & School, a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) Maryland corporation providing spiritual education, support, and fellowship to the Greater Baltimore area. In April 2003, I was ordained Minister of Spiritual Science. For those unfamiliar with Spiritual Science, I believe it is, most simply, a "philosophical approach to spirituality." I characterize its tenets as similar to the principles, purposes and sources of Unitarian Universalism.
In 2010, I transitioned from The Sanctuary to the Church of Spiritual Humanism, combining my background in Spiritual Science with the tenets of Spiritual Humanism. The Church of Spiritual Humanism's ordained clergypersons serve our nation and our world in improving living conditions, inspiring positive change, and commemorating life milestones in a thoughtful, respectful, and reverent manner.
Currently, I serve Maryland and Northern Virginia in performing nondenominational, interfaith, and humanistic spiritual ceremonies to unite couples, bless children, commemorate the passing of seasons, and celebrate lives. Trained in the compassionate administration of the sacraments, I am organized, reliable, and a skilled writer. I am also complimented as an engaging, versatile, and polished public speaker.

A Look Back at How Kate Middleton Stunned the World — The Week Explained In Six Clicks
Kate Middleton threw everyone and their Queen mother for a loop on Monday when she — or at least the Palace — confirmed that she is pregnant with her first child.
The news kicked off a full week of headlines, events and medical terms we're only just learning how to pronounce (seriously, try to say hyperemesis gravidarum five times fast) as everyone begins to prep for the most-anticipated birth in years.
Did you happen to miss any of the news coming out of London this week? Well, you're in luck.
Celebuzz has rounded up the six biggest headlines since Middleton's pregnancy was announced. Check them out in the gallery, above.
Middleton's pregnancy was confirmed Monday in a statement from the palace.
"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby," the statement read. "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news.
It was then it which it was also revealed that Middleton, 30, had been hospitalized at King Edward VII Hospital in London for hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness.
This will be the first child for Middleton and her husband, Prince William, who were married on Apr. 29, 2011.

She says she can't relax in her yard. She won't let her grandchildren play outside. The smoke billowing from the ships' exhaust stacks, she says, makes the air hard to breathe.
"Many times you can see the black plume coming," says Shields, whose citizens group is suing to block expansion of the nearby port on Stockton's inland waterway. "It's unconscionable that this is happening next to homes."
From fishing skiffs to supertankers, boats and ships around the USA are belching out harmful pollutants that cloud the air. Almost none of them have pollution filters. Big ships burn some of the dirtiest fuel on the planet and emit gases that contribute to acid rain, lung disease and heart problems.
Now, for the first time, state and federal officials are working to stifle air pollution from ships. The first nationwide restrictions on ship emissions take effect this year. And at least a half-dozen cities and states — from Los Angeles to New York — have undertaken their own efforts to rein in boat and ship pollution.
"The sheer magnitude of these emissions really gives us a red flag," says Tom Murphy of the Santa Barbara County (Calif.) Air Pollution Control District. His county's pollution cuts "are being negated by these emissions offshore."
Environmental officials ignored pollution from marine vessels for decades. Instead, they focused their regulatory might on cars.
"Ships were perceived as a small source that could be neglected," says James Corbett, who studies emissions at the University of Delaware's Graduate College of Marine Studies. "We've been regulating cars for 30 to 35 years. Ships have not been significantly regulated to date."
Part of the reason that boat and ship pollution is getting more attention is that cars and trucks are getting cleaner. That means ships account for an ever-larger share of the air pollution around port cities. Environmental officials estimate that in 25 years, marine vessels will account for nearly double the percentage of the USA's smog-forming pollution.
What's more, shipping traffic to and from the USA is projected to double by 2020.
Places with dirty air
New Environmental Protection Agency regulations require many vessels built today to have cleaner engines. But local environmental officials say the rules, especially those for large ships, won't do much good.
"We were hoping EPA would adopt stringent regulations," says Ali Mirzakhalili, chief of air quality for Delaware, which has unhealthy smog levels. "The technology is there to reduce (boat emissions), and it's not getting done."
Places where ship emissions are tainting the air:
• Southern California. The region includes the nation's two busiest ports, Long Beach and Los Angeles. The vessels there produce more pollution than any other single source in the area. Their emissions help push smog and soot to unhealthy levels in the region.
• Houston and Galveston. Cruise ships, oil tankers and container ships crowd the ports of these neighboring cities. The percentage of the region's smog-forming chemicals that come from marine traffic is expected to quadruple between 1993 and 2007. That's because other sources have cleaned up. The ships haven't.
• Pittsburgh. Barges ply the rivers that run through the city and the surrounding region. A study by Corbett found that boats and ships heave out as much pollution as the automobile traffic that rolls toward downtown on one interstate highway.
• Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. The gorge is a playground for hikers and boaters. But the river, which divides Oregon and Washington, also carries thousands of boats per year. They help create the haze that cuts visibility in the summer.
Some places that don't even have a port or a river find themselves choking on ship emissions. In Santa Barbara, mammoth ships traveling the shipping lanes off the coast account for more of the county's smog-forming emissions than its cars, trucks and buses do.
Cities and states are trying to cut boat and ship pollution with incentives such as money for cleaner engines. But only the EPA has the power to require the vessels to clean up.
The EPA's new regulations do just that. The agency recently set new pollution standards for boats and ships of all sizes. This year, the EPA announced it will consider making the standards tougher for smaller boats.
Local officials praise those standards but say they're not enough. That's because substantial amounts of pollution come from the biggest ships: behemoths that cross the oceans and emit huge amounts of pollution at sea and as they approach port.
These tankers, container ships and car carriers have engines similar to those in power plants. They burn fuel that's laden with sulfur, which clogs pollution-control equipment and turns into pollutants that cause health problems.
"These ships are essentially floating smokestacks," says Vickie Patton of the non-profit group Environmental Defense.
An international treaty that takes effect next year will curb emissions from these ships. But the Senate hasn't approved the treaty, so it can't be enforced against foreign vessels in U.S. waters. And the restrictions apply only to new ships, so existing ships — which last 20 to 40 years — are free to pollute.
The treaty needs "to be re-examined and tightened. It's fairly old now," says Tom Chase of the American Association of Port Authorities.
EPA may lack power
Local air pollution officials say the EPA should force big ships to clean up more thoroughly and more quickly. The EPA says it's working toward Senate approval of the treaty on foreign ships. It also says it may not have the power to regulate those ships itself.
For now, Sherry Shields is stuck breathing the fumes from the ships that park near her house. And even port officials agree that big ships could use a cleanup.
Jeff Kaspar of the Port of Stockton, which lies in the smog-choked San Joaquin Valley, says ships should use any emissions-reduction technology that works. "That's where the future lies in being able to help the air problems in this valley," he says.

Last weekend we had pork tenderloin with apples, green beans, sweet potatoes, and wild rice. Delicious. Happy Fall.
Broccoli - this member of the cabbage family has been found to be one of the healthiest vegetable we can add to our diet. Packed full of nutrients and vitamins, broccoli releases glucoraphanin and myrosinase when chewed. These enzymes work together to produce sulforaphane - which seems to be a magic element of health benefits. In his book "HOW NOT TO DIE" - Dr. Michael Gregor sings the praises of eating broccoli. He even contends that eating broccoli can counteract the health risks of smoking .. Pretty amazing! A simple sauté of broccoli with a little olive oil, chicken stock (vegetable stock for you vegans) and spices is one of the best things you can make at home.
CARROTS - These root vegetables are one of my other favorites. They are packed with Beta-Carotene which the human body converts into Vitamin A. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin, immune system, and vision, among a host of other benefits that researchers are confirming year after year. Eat more carrots! You can prepare them the same way as broccoli - the less cooking the better. Nature made them perfect as is!
Amy Chaplin is a celebrated Chef (James Beard Foundation award winner) with a head chef tenure under her belt at the extremely popular Angelica Kitchen in the East Village in NYC. Chaplin has spent years as a private chef (several celebrities can't live without her daily creations) and at long last released this book - At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen. Growing up in rural Australia, Amy spent her childhood watching (and helping) her parents create every meal they ate - from scratch. With the nearest store 30 miles away, one can only imagine the creativity it must have inspired. The book explains how to create healthy, fullfilling dishes for every occassion. It feels like a relaxation experiment just looking at the beautiful photos by Photog Johnny Miller of vegetables and natural ingredients. I happily bought he book and intend to spend the holidays experimenting with this masters recipes. Buy one for the cook in your life, and buy one for yourself as well. It's one of those books that should be in every kitchen - as a reference and also as a guide. Be sure to visit her excellent website for recipes, inspiration, and more know-how than you can imagine!

Gracious Home, the famous home emporium on New York's Upper East and Upper West Side of Manhattan are known for carrying all the must-have items for every room in your house. The store carries a wide range of Le Creuset, and just had special events celebrating the 90th anniversary. The store hosted an open house in both locations with other French brands on hand to share the celebration. Le Creuset Cookware, Briochin household cleaners, and Breville applicances had representatives on hand demonstrating their wares. French artisan Christophe Pourny was also on hand signing copies of his best selling book - The Furniture Bible, and demonstrating his all natural line of serums, waxes, and furniture tonics.
To mark this special occasion, Le Creuset has created a limited edition "cocotte" exactly like the original from 1925. The house will only make 1,925 of the pots worldwide ($500.00). At the same time the company has launched Black & White Pots - not seen before at the house of all things color.

Happy Birthday Le Creuset!!
The WhiteHart Inn is a historic property that has opened more than a century ago. While a change in ownership saw the Inn close for a few seasons, the re-opening drew cheers from local Salisbury residents. Also happy are the many parents who visit children at the preps schools in the area. The super posh Hotchkiss and Salisbury Schools are just around the corner from the Inn. Both schools attract students from around the world.
Plan a special celebration at the Inn, or better yet, a "just because" weekend get-a-way. I promise you will be glad you did. The Inn has well appointed simple rooms, doubles, and suites. *Be sure to book ahead, the Inn fills up quickly. The dining room at the White Hart is sophisticated and minimal, just how you'd want it to be. Some serious artwork decorate the common areas of the Inn's first floor. A more cozy setting if offered in the casual Tap Room with some comfort food favorites on a menu that changes weekly.
Have you picked a weekend yet?
It makes perfect sense that in 2014 comfort food is now as fashionable as Haute Cuisine - perhaps even more so. With the reality of reality TV and the cultural obsession with celebrities being "just like us", it's no wonder that diners gravitate to food that satisfies their appetite as well as their ego.
Southern BBQ has always been a delicacy and personally one of my favorite foods. As a New Yorker, it used to be a passion reserved for when I travelled in the South of the US.. but no longer! NYC is now home to so many great BBQ restaurants, I think any Texan or NOLA resident would be right at home. There are at least two schools of thought when you talk BBQ, Texas or Southern. Both are found right here in NY, and I recently found out - a bit further North!
It's really no surprise the South has gone high style. After all, the sophistication of high society of early Southern America was straight from Europe - with all it's finest details. Of course TV producers have made a fortune in recent years focussing on the less educated or stereotypes of that idea with all these swamp "dynasty" families that are fictional - posing as real life. However, read just one issue of the super trendy Garden & Gun Magazine and you will know - this is not your Grandfathers "Southern Comfort"! (I caught up on reading the latest copy at When Pigs Fly South!).
I spend many weekends in Connecticut, resting and re-charging from the fast pace life that is standard procedure in NYC. Connecticut is home to countless small towns and villages that will charm the pants off any sophisticated traveller. Dating back several hundred years, these towns are at their core - Classic American Style. Think rolling hills and manicured estates, farms, and rustic homes in rural, small town settings. The state is a true melting pot. The rich, the famous, the farmers, the blue collar, white collar, and every collar you can think of call Connecticut home.
A few weeks ago I am so happy to have finally eaten at WHEN PIGS FLY SOUTH in Sharon, Ct. I've driven by for a few years and for some reason had never stopped. After watching them double in size with the recent renovation - I had to stop. Needless to say, I will be stopping by often. With pulled pork or brisket platters and sandwiches you can build an endless combination of meals with sides and sauces. From baked beans to corn pudding, collard greens to pickles - your taste buds won't know what hit them. If you live in or around NYC, it's worth the day trip to eat at When Pigs Fly South. The town of Sharon is charming, and there is plenty to do to fill an afternoon or a weekend. The Tri-Arts Sharon Playhouse is just down the street and they are always staging a production of some show you won't want to miss. (Just driving around and looking at the homes is about the sexiest real estate porn you could ever hope for!) The Sharon Country Inn is also just down the road and newly renovated. You can make Sharon your base and from there explore Lakeville, Salisbury, Falls Village, New Preston, Kent, Millerton NY, Amenia NY, and Millbrook NY - all in one weekend. All of these towns are just a few miles apart and roll right into each other - as the rolling hills do in New England!
Oh.. after the BBQ you might want to walk off some of the calories. There is an excellent running / biking path that stretches for miles between Amenia and Millerton NY - crossing back and forth from NY to Connecticut. It is pedestrian only and full of beautiful wildlife and nature.
Did you reserve the care yet?
*not leaving NYC? Then be sure to hit one of these BBQ restaurants in the city that never sleeps (or stops eating). Each has a different scene - all are fun! Dallas BBQ is notorious for the biggest drinks and plates - pace yourself!
Hill Country Barbeque , Brother Jimmy's BBQ , Dinosaur Bar-B-Que , Dallas BBQ , Southern Hospitality BBQ]]>
It's time for Spring, and along with the warmer weather and brighter days comes a natural desire for sweets, treats, and those specialty baked goods that are a sure sign that the Winter is over! #EASTER
I wanted to highlight three companies that make exceptional items. All three are family owned businesses. I know the owners, and I've seen the dedication they have for creating these beautiful treats.
While they shine at Easter, all three of these companies are whipping up treasures every day of the year. So take note of the Easter treats, but bookmark them for every holiday - actually.. why wait for a holiday?
The party to showcase Pre-Fall 2014 or what Stella calls Autumn was a perfect case in point. Staged at a limestone mansion on the Upper East Side, Stella and crew played house with a party that felt like a g rated episode of Gossip Girl with too many A list celebrities and New York notables to mentione - but I'll try.
Susan Sarandon, Parker Posey, Alec Baldwin, Blythe Danner, Jake Gyllenhaal, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Diana Taylor, Justine Koons, Marilyn Minter, Patti Smith, Liv Tyler, Jerry Seinfeld and many more made a night of fashion, fun, and great conversation. There are few parties in the fashion world that makes you feel excited about that world - but Stella McCartney events are always inspiring.
Add to the celebrities Stella's Autumn collection that was full of her signature looks - oversized outerwear, tailored pants, and shift dresses - classic McCartney - always reinvented. OH and of course Fallabella Cakes! That's right, the accessory collection was recreated in edible cakes by those magicians at Sweet Grace Bakery. Stella's best selling FALABELLA bag was turned even sweeter by these masters of confections creations are known for their "3D Cakes".. and they did not disappoint. Click the images to see more of their work or place an order. They stole the show and combined with the chocolate fountain with dipping marshmallows - it was a sweet night all around!

text: Hi Antonio, Thank you for your message, and thanks also to all the other folks who wrote to me. For example, Martin told me that in Germany physicians are not allowed to do long distance diagnosis based on the patients' description of the symptoms (via e-mail, for example). In other countries (remote areas of Australia, Canada, or Alaska) long distance medical practice is a necessity and a reality, for example in cardiac patients monitoring. How about Europe? Antonio, do you know what policy or legislation is on in your country, (Spain) in the health vs IT field (Internet, telemedicine, etc.)?

At least five Bethlehem residents were displaced Monday night when a fire broke out in the third floor of their home and spread to the roof.
The fire was reported about 9:15 p.m. at 117 E. Elizabeth Ave., along Hottle Avenue.
As flames flared from a third-floor window, firefighters poured in water from a ladder truck. An hour later, firefighters still were trying to keep the fire from spreading to the attached house at 119 E. Elizabeth.
Firefighters climbed up to the third floor to open up the ceiling, allowing thick smoke to escape. As they checked the walls for hot spots, they found more fire, officials radioed.
At least one family was displaced, according to...

A Message from the Principal
Students and teachers are organized into interdisciplinary teams around the core areas of language arts literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies. The NJCCS serve as the foundation of our curriculum development and implementation. Teaming permits teachers time together to plan lessons, activities, projects, interdisciplinary units, and field trips for their students. In addition, parent conferences, case studies, grade level interventions, and Child Study Team meetings occupy the team-planning segment. Students are also scheduled for the study of world language and physical education/health. Our comprehensive curriculum provides for a wide and diversified array of exploratory classes in technology, music, art, and consumer sciences. The exploratory cycles allow students to experience an integrated curriculum as well as explore areas of interest. Our curriculum is current and responsive to the competitive demands of society. We offer our students the opportunity to explore the integration of science, technology, mathematics and art during our STEM rotation. Each student is given the opportunity to participate in instrumental and vocal music.
Students identified as gifted and talented will have the opportunity to participate in a morning Gifted & Talented program that integrates all of the academic areas through the exploration of different themes of interest. Special needs students are most often accommodated in the regular education classes with the support of a special education teacher. Enrichment is provided for all students through a variety of grade-level team-planned activities and experiences.
Individual students needing assistance for personal, academic, and social concerns are supported within a comprehensive guidance program that also includes staff-supported peer-mentoring and leadership programs. Additionally, numerous after-school activities are provided to enhance the overall educational experience of the student and promote confidence and self-esteem. Activities include fall, winter, and spring athletics, cheerleading, Student Council, National Junior Honor Society, drama, the school newspaper, and robotics. Somerville Middle School boasts of award-winning concert, jazz, and marching bands, as well as a performing chorus.
Somerville Middle School continues to work together to inspire, through word and action, a spirit of community, sense of pride, respect for others, and a commitment to academic excellence.

Destination: India
Book: Peep Peep Don't Sleep
by Ajay Jain
A GUEST POST by Jessica Voigts
Having a sense of humor while traveling is one of the surest ways to enjoy life and all
the riches it has to offer. One of my new favorite books is a hilarious photo journal
from India, called Peep Peep Don't Sleep. And as we all know, reading while traveling isn't limited to books – it can be signs, t-shirts, pamphlets, and more.
Written and photographed by Ajay Jain, this book is an inside look at culture, humor, travel, and the intricacies of language. We often read this with our 8-year old daughter, and laugh together. It is a book rich in culture and language, and so very funny. We were lucky enough to sit down and talk with Ajay about his book, traveling on the road, smiling, and more. Here's what he had to say…
Wandering Educators: Please tell us about your book, Peep Peep Don't Sleep
Ajay Jain: Put simply, Peep Peep Don't Sleep is a collection of funny road signs and advertisements that travellers can spot in India. In fact, the title of the book comes from one of these signs. Most of these are from the Indian Himalayas.
What prompted me to come up with such a book? We all notice and get entertained by road signs when we travel, but rarely have these been the subject of any books or even magazine features. Especially since most of us don't travel enough to see all the different signs literally scattered all over.
Being a travel writer and photographer, I took this challenge upon myself. I had no idea how many interesting road signs existed, or what it would entail capturing all of them. If I didn't get enough, the book would not happen. I had only one choice: hit the road like an explorer into unchartered territory. And be on the job till I achieved my objective. It took a year and over 10,000 kilometers (6,000 miles) of driving but it all came together in the end.
The inspiration was both providing an entertaining read, as well as creating an archive of these signs. They have a value today because they exist; the collection would be invaluable tomorrow when these are long gone.
What was I looking for? Messages for drivers, advertisements and public notices – anything that would entertain and say something about the place and its people. It would be travelogue of a different kind. And were they a discovery! The ones on Indian highways are in a zone of their own. They shower you with words of wisdom, keep your mind sharp as you unravel their cryptic messages, tickle your imagination, amuse you and entertain you. In public interest, they lend a hand to Alcoholics Anonymous.
Since journeys are meant to be a pleasure, they remind you to 'Smile Please.' This is the expression this book wants to see on its readers.
WE: What is it about road signs, language, and cultural assumptions?!
AJ: Different signs reflect different aspects. For example, many of these signs are put up by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), a division of the Indian Army responsible for construction and maintenance of roads along India's international borders. Thought up by the engineers on the site, one only wonders why they put such signs up. Was it their attempt at cheeky humour? Was it a lesser grasp of the English language that makes them sound like this? Likewise, many of the shop signs and advertisements show an earnest effort to attract customers even if one flounders with the language.
To read more of the interview, please visit the book review section of Wandering Educators.
Jessie says she still laughs when she reads the book. Thanks for sharing, Jessie.
Every traveler has read signs–and menus–in awkwardly translated English. Sometimes the humor is intentional. Sometimes it becomes philosophical. Share the funniest or oddest one you've seen.
And speaking of India—We've raised $41,000 so far. Are you IN?? Here's a sign you should click on. No kidding!

National Association
of Social Workers
Vol. 49, No.
4, April 2004
By John V. O'Neill, MSW, News Staff
The deaths of a young woman, a troubled teenager and the murder
of social worker Greg Gaul on an icy day late in January brought
almost unbearable shock and grief to the Des Moines social work
community and the entire city.
It also renewed the questions of whether social workers and their
agencies are doing enough to protect those who deal with clients
who are sometimes unstable and occasionally violent or intent
on homicide and whether emphasis on safety could limit social
workers' ability to be effective with clients.
*� *� *
Gaul was "beloved," the kind of social worker others
aspire to be, said his business partner John Stanley. "Most
don't have the same amount of qualities Greg had in abundance
� the patience and kindness."
The former seminarian had an uncommon amount of success for his
41 years. An MSW graduate of the University of Minnesota, four
years ago he helped start Lifeworks, a successful agency that
contracts with the State of Iowa to provide in-home child welfare
and juvenile justice services.
He was a well-known and well-respected figure among the law enforcement
officials, attorneys, judges, social workers, educators and juvenile
offenders in the Des Moines area.
"Greg and I started a business together with the philosophy
that many people didn't have opportunities and need to have doors
opened for them and that the basis of therapy is to be kind and
gentle to people," said Stanley.
Gaul had a wife and six children age 10 and under, with another
child expected in the spring. Yet he found time to be active in
his church and to be a baseball coach, Cub Scout leader and black
belt in tae kwon do, involving his children in his pastimes, and
he volunteered at a prison for women.
He bought his shoes and shirts at a Salvation Army thrift store.
"He was a casual guy. That's what helped people relate to
him," said Stanley.
"But he took very seriously what he did. Everyone who came
in contact with Greg felt he gave something of himself to them."
Friends don't remember what he was wearing his last day alive.
"Violence has a low base rate and doesn't happen frequently
enough to make it easy to predict," said Christina Newhill,
associate professor of social work at the University of Pittsburgh.
Yet violence or threats of violence are reasonably common for
social workers during their careers, especially in certain areas
of practice, according to data from a 1993 study Newhill conducted
of 800 NASW members from Pennsylvania and 800 from California.
Of the 1,129 social workers who responded, 42 percent had experienced
no incidents of violence, 25 percent reported property damage,
50 percent were threatened and 24 percent reported attempted or
actual physical attacks. The incidence rate of violence or threats
of violence was highest in the criminal justice field (79 percent),
followed by drug and alcohol services (76 percent) and children
and youth services (75 percent). Others were mental health services,
64 percent; developmental disability, 56 percent; school social
work, 54 percent; health care, 49 percent; and aging, 44 percent.
Males were almost twice as likely to report physical attacks
as females, 39 percent to 21 percent, perhaps because it is perceived
as more socially acceptable to attack a man, and sometimes men
are asked to act as a sort of security force at agencies, although
they have no training for it, Newhill said.
Newhill began to look at the issue of violence to social workers
after the 1989 death of Californian Robbyn Panitch, 26, who had
recently graduated from the University of Southern California.
Panitch was employed in a walk-in clinic when a delusional man
walked into her office, closed the door and stabbed her 30 times.
Nobody heard anything because the office was soundproof. She had
talked to her supervisor about being afraid of the client, and
things could have been done to make her safer, said Newhill.
"Agencies feel it doesn't happen very often, and when it
does, it's not going to happen here," she said. "Only
after a tragedy occurs is action taken. They are in denial."
Gaul had no inkling that the teenager who was to end his life
was a threat, said Stanley. If he had he would have asked the
child's juvenile court officer or the police to accompany him
to the home. "There was nothing in [the teenager's] past
to create a major level of concern."
The 16-year-old's parents divorced in 2002. According to news
accounts, he had problems living with his mother and moved in
with his father and a woman the father lived with in an upscale
neighborhood near Des Moines. The teenager, who reportedly had
a history of petty theft of beer, using a car without the owner's
permission and drinking, was typical of many teens in the juvenile
justice system.
The situation deteriorated late in January, when a 21-year-old
recent college graduate was hired to live at the house to keep
an eye on the youth while the father and his girlfriend were on
vacation out of the country.
When the teenager didn't attend classes on Tuesday, Jan. 27,
Gaul received a call from the mother of the young house sitter
asking him to check on her daughter.
Gaul, who colleagues say used his therapeutic skill and wits
to defuse tense situations, probably had no apprehension when
he approached the house that morning. He didn't know that the
teenager had murdered the sitter two days earlier.
After shooting Gaul, the teenager fled in Gaul's car and the
next day committed suicide with a shotgun while being pursued
by police in Colorado.
* �*� *
Gaul's death is a "message to the rest of us to continue
to be thoughtful about what we do," said Leila Carlson, executive
director of the NASW Iowa Chapter. "It's easy to get into
routines and not treat each case individually, there is so much
to get done."
Carlson arranged for Newhill to present a three-hour chapter
workshop on workplace safety on March 31 and to meet with a small
group of Iowa agency executives so that the discussion on agency
safety will continue in Iowa
"The most important thing is for the agency to say openly,
'Let's talk about safety and make it a regular topic at staff
meetings,'" said Newhill. Violence to social workers is often
underreported, she said. Social workers sometimes think they will
be blamed and don't tell supervisors, or sometimes they report
it and supervisors don't have a good response.
Newhill's workshop in Iowa was slated to cover a number of characteristics
of clients that could alert social workers to potential violence,
as outlined in her recent book Client Violence in Social Work
Practice: Prevention, Intervention and Research. These include:
Newhill said the workshop would also cover guidelines for how
to make clinical assessments and environmental assessments to
determine the potential for client violence and an assessment
of social worker safety. The guidelines include inquiring about
the client's potential for violence toward others and self, getting
to know a neighborhood ahead of time by consulting with colleagues
and police and finding out who will be in the home and potential
danger there.
Other workshop segments were to cover safe settings for interviews;
intervention techniques with potentially violent clients, like
speaking softly, avoiding intense direct eye contact and avoiding
early interpretations and insights; the physical environment of
an office, such as panic buttons or pre-arranged methods to summon
help; and how to dress, tucking in scarves and neckties and wearing
no necklaces or earrings.
Hundreds of people lined up outside Holy Trinity Catholic Church
for Gaul's wake, delaying the start of his memorial service. They
packed the church again the next day at his funeral, filling the
balcony, standing around the sanctuary walls and sitting on the
steps outside.
The Des Moines Register covered Gaul's death and that of the
21-year-old house sitter extensively. "The local press has
been very kind, writing stories about Greg and his work and the
field of social work and its difficulties," said Stanley.
Many professions � including police work, fire fighting and military
service � bring inherent danger, "but it's easy to forget
those people who help troubled kids," said the Register.
"Social work is a job where workers are generally unappreciated,
underpaid and overworked. These highly educated people could choose
to work in other professions. After a few years in the field,
many do. . . . But there are those workers who persevere. They
stick with the job because they care about kids and know what
they do matters."
Agencies need general strategies for safety, said Newhill. These
Determining the level and intensity of a safety program is difficult,
said Stanley, Gaul's business partner and friend. "I've been
a social worker for 18 years and never had anybody even spit at
Gaul always had a positive outlook, and "I don't think he
would want people to respond in fear or hold it [his murder] against
people or for it to impact on their ability to work," said
Stanley. "Rather than worrying that something could happen
to me, I will work on being gentler and kinder to my clients.
That's the message I would have gotten from Greg."
"Some danger is part of being human. Humans are capable
of incredible good things and incredible horrific things. You
just don't know."
Still, said Stanley, Lifeworks, like many other agencies, holds
serious and ongoing discussions about how to keep its social workers
safe and alive.
