An Athens clinic that serves indigent patients continues to operate in the red and is having trouble paying its bills, its director told Athens-Clarke commissioners Tuesday.
The Athens Neighborhood Health Center's board and administrators had hoped a merger with Southside Medical, a larger Atlanta clinic, would solve its financial troubles. But the Athens clinic pulled out of the deal, Executive Director Diane Dunston said.
"That fell through when I couldn't get a commitment, we couldn't get a commitment, to improve and enhance services," she said at a commission budget hearing.
Dunston asked the commission for $100,000 in local tax revenue to subsidize the center, the same amount as the health center received last year. Its $1 million budget also includes fees charged to patients on a sliding scale, insurance reimbursements, private donations, a United Way grant and a new state grant for $225,000 over two years.
"Our indigent care is not offset by the grants we get to fund the operation," Dunston said.
The health center, founded in 1971, has struggled for several years to find funding as more and more uninsured patients sought its services. Half of the center's 6,000 patients are on Medicare or Medicaid - the federal insurance programs for the elderly, poor and disabled - and a third are uninsured. Most of the remainder are underinsured and cannot afford to pay their deductibles, Dunston said.
"It's been a trying time for us and most people who are in the business we're in, medical care," she said.
The health center will reapply for a federal grant this year that would allow it to hire more doctors and serve more patients, Dunston said. It was turned down in 2008.
Commissioners this week are hearing funding requests from 12 independent agencies - nonprofits, quasi-governmental groups and state-local partnerships that local officials believe serve essential functions, mostly related to economic development and health care.
The agencies are asking for a combined $3.3 million next year, down 1.5 percent from this year.
No agency is asking for a large increase in funding because, officials said Tuesday, they know the county can't afford it.
Other independent agencies include the Clarke County Department of Family and Children Services, Project Safe, the Athens Regional Library, Advantage Behavioral Health System, the Athens Community Council on Aging, Community Connection and the Clarke County Health Department.
The hearings Tuesday and Thursday are the commission's first step in writing the county's budget for the 2011 fiscal year starting July 1.
Mayor Heidi Davison is expected to release her proposed budget in early April, and commissioners will have the chance to change it before approving the document in June.

Action for Apes Challenge
Answer the Call to Take Action.
The Action for Apes challenge is an annual contest hosted by the Houston Zoo to see which school or community organization can recycle the most cell phones by the end of APE-ril. By recycling used cell phones with the Houston Zoo, you help protect animals like chimpanzees and gorillas that live in areas where cell phone materials are mined.
You are always welcome to bring any used cell phone to recycle – we have a drop off bin conveniently located just outside our main entrance gate next to the Guest Services office.
How does this help save animals like gorillas and chimpanzees?
A material called tantalum is found in almost every cell phone, as well as in other handheld electronics such as tablets and cameras. This metal comes from the ground in Central Africa, which happens to be where animals like chimpanzees and gorillas live. When the metal is taken from these habitats to be used in electronics, the homes of chimps, gorillas and an array of other animals become disrupted and these animal populations decrease.
When you recycle your used cell phone with us…
The materials in the phone can be reused instead of mining new minerals from the ground in Central Africa.
When you recycle your phone at the Houston Zoo, we return it to a company called Eco-Cell that sells the individual parts of the phone so that they can be reused. Any proceeds then go to conservation efforts to help save animals in the wild.
Who can participate?
Any local school, business, organization, or scout group can participate. Simply complete the registration form at the bottom of this page and start your recycling campaign! All phones collected by April 30, 2017 will be recycled through the company Eco-Cell.
How do I sign my school or organization up?
Fill out the online registration form at the bottom of this page and begin collecting cell phones! Get the word out about the challenge to others in your school or organization by creating posters, hanging up the content provided by the Zoo, spreading the word and having fun saving animals in the wild!
What are the contest rules?
All participating institutions must register online before collecting cell phones. Once registered, you will receive an e-mail during the campaign providing you with information to receive your free shipping labels for your school or community organization!
All phones must be collected by April 30, 2017. Only those cell phones collected by that date will be counted in your total. Cell phone accessories (bluetooth, chargers) will not count in the total but can be recycled in the challenge. Remember every little bit helps!
Participating institutions will ship their phones directly to Eco-Cell using a provided shipping label e-mailed to you, postmarked on or before April 30, 2017. Eco-Cell will count the phones to determine the winner.
The school or organization that recycles the most cell phones by April 30, 2017 will receive a unique painting done by one of the Zoo's gorilla troops. Both the first and second place schools/organizations will receive recognition on our Houston Zoo Facebook pages and social media outlets.
The Houston Zoo will announce the Action for Apes 2017 winners no later than June 1, 2017.
Schools and organizations begin by creating your own recycling bin and decorating it with Houston Zoo promotional materials as well as any artwork designed by participants.
What do we win if we collect the most phones?
The school or organization that recycles the most cell phones by April 30, 2017 will win a one-of-a-kind painting done by one of the Houston Zoo's gorilla troops! The painting can be hung at your institution as a reminder of your efforts to protect chimpanzees and gorillas in the wild.
Register Today and Join the Challenge!
Before donating your device: Make sure you terminate your service or switch your contract to a new phone. Clear any personal data from the phone by removing the SIM card or manually removing the information. On most cell phones, you can find "Reset Phone" under "Phone Settings." Turn your phone off, if your phone's battery is still charged.
You can collect and recycle any of the following:
- Cell phones
- Smart phones
- iPods or other MP3 players
- iPads or other tablets
- Wifi hot spots
- Handheld gaming devices
- Electronic accessories such as chargers, blue tooth headsets, etc.

UN to hold Syria pledging conference in JanuaryListen /
A severe lack of funding is hampering the humanitarian response in Syria, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the General Assembly on Monday.
He reported that half the Syrian population—more than nine million people—need humanitarian assistance, and the situation continues to deteriorate rapidly and dramatically.
"I will be organizing a High-Level Pledging Conference for Syria in January in Kuwait. But let me be clear: you need not wait until then to provide support. The Syrian people are desperate for help today. I thank those Member States that delivered on the promises they made at this year's pledging conference, and call on all others to follow through as well." (26″)
Mr. Ban said Syria remains the biggest threat to international peace and security, and providing life-saving humanitarian assistance is one of the three fronts for UN efforts in the country.
The others are verifying the destruction of the country's chemical weapons and achieving a political solution to the ongoing crisis.

Reach Out
What is Penn State Beaver Reach Out?
Reach Out provides Penn State Beaver students with opportunities to learn and develop as citizens through thoughtfully organized service projects designed to meet the needs of the community.
Students volunteer 20-25 hours per semester in not-for-profit agencies while completing a variety of volunteer assignments, including problem solving, marketing, office work, child care, and construction. Annually, students contribute approximately $45,000 in economic value to the Beaver community.
If you're a student interested in exploring career opportunities, service learning offers a unique opportunity to learn about jobs from the inside of many different organizations. Service-learning experiences help many students make career choices and many students find jobs with the organizations where they were service-learning volunteers. Other students report that their service-learning work is one of the first things from their resumes that potential employers note.
Public scholarship is a priority for Penn State and Beaver campus is among the leaders in offering opportunities for students. We hope to build and expand this program. In the last decade, many local agencies in southwestern Pennsylvania have benefited from our Reach Out program. Each semester, Reach Out places an average of 75 students in volunteer positions within the community.
Student engagement in the community benefits everyone and local agencies benefit from the energy, skills, and dedication of student volunteers. The experiences that local agencies provide for students help to provide real-world education for these students as they learn to apply their skills and knowledge in a variety of situations. Students also come to understand their responsibilities as citizens in building communities and a strong democratic society.
If you're interested in working with and/or recruiting student volunteers for a not-for-profit group or agency, please contact Dr. JoAnn Chirico, senior instructor in sociology, 724-773-3846.
These volunteer opportunities are available to all students. You need not be enrolled in a class that provides a service option. If you would like to volunteer and receive academic credit, that's possible through Sociology 296/496 which you can take for one, two, and/or three credits. For details, please contact Dr. JoAnn Chirico, 724-773-3846.
You might also be interested in the minor in Civic and Community Engagement. It fits easily into any major, adds value to your resume, and has demonstrably helped students to get jobs and find careers.

How to prepare
Preparation Strategy
Make a proper Time Table
It is very important that you make a time table and stick to it and you will have an exact idea of what you are required to study and the time required for it.
Concept clarity rather than rote learning
It is essential that you have a clear idea of the formulas and concepts rather than rote learning of things for the papers. While you might require it for memorizing formulas it is important that for other stuff you make sure you clear your basis and concepts before moving on.
Prepare Notes
It is very important make small notes or a comprehensive list of formulas on each covered topic and chapter which will come in handy at the time of revision. This will require you to be regular with your work but will surely make things easy at the time of revision.
Seek guidance
It is not possible for you to know everything in your syllabus, at least not at the time of preparation. Sooner or later you will run into a concept or so which will give you trouble and then it is best you seek guidance from an instructor or a teacher. It is necessary that you clear your doubts at regular intervals and don't prolong things for long. Getting into a good coaching class is nothing to be ashamed off and if anything a regular coaching class will enable you to avoid roadblocks in your preparation.
Sample Papers
Even though there may be a complete change in the exam pattern or the expected questions altogether,it is important that you practice on the sample and previous years question papers available for the engineering exam you'd be attempting. You will know the existing pattern and have a fair idea of the type of questions to expect in the paper along with the time constraint.
Mock tests
The paper pattern, duration of the paper and the number of questions to be attempted in the given amount of time is not something you will be able to pick up on the day of the examination. A Mock Test tests a student's abilities as it not only provides a similar feel of real exams but also helps in building speed and confident to face the exam. Furthermore, they can improve their performance to get an extra edge in actual exams. Try to build up an Engineering Entrance Exam Test Prep MCQ Question Bank
Time management
Time management can be learnt through thorough practice and regular test taking. So it is important that you practice it and practice it well.
Negative marking
Most the entrance examinations will have negative marking and everyone would suggest you stay clear of questions are not sure about. But some experts are of the opinion that you answer the questions in which you are confused between an option or two because there will also be a chance of getting it right.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Fees are going up for certain Alpharetta Recreations and Parks activities. Tennis usage and rental of the equestrian center will be affected. The new fees will raise about $80,000 a year.
Recreation and Parks Director Mike Perry told the City Council at the May 5 council meeting that it has been several years since the city has looked at how its fees stack up against those of surrounding cities.
"Periodically, we go about evaluating what other municipalities are charging for the programs we offer," Perry said. "With the economic downturn, we have shied away from increasing fees on our residents.
"It's not all about money, but anything we can do to help recover costs is a prudent thing to do," Perry said.
Councilmember Jim Gilvin agreed, saying, "It's about time to evaluate these fees."
The new fees will take effect next year.
In other business at the meeting, the council unanimously approved applying for a grant to help pay for bulletproof vests for public safety officers.
The grant, worth $26,100, will cover half of the cost of 33 vests and two SWAT vests. The grant allows funding for vests that would be placed on a five-year rotation schedule.
"It's nice to have a grant that covers half the cost, since these were items we would purchase anyway," said Amanda Day, grants administrator.
Vests are guaranteed for five years from the date of manufacture. The bending from normal wear can weaken the Kevlar layers. Environmental factors such as humidity and temperature can also affect the viability of the vests.
Alpharetta City Council May 5, 2014
Confirmation of change order to Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart and Associates for $7,000.
UNANIMOUS (Cross absent)
Confirmation of change order to Cardno ATC for $42,000.

2011 BCS National Championship: The SEC vs. The Field
Debate: Will the SEC win its sixth straight BCS National Championship?
Athlon editors Patrick Snow and Braden Gall debate whether the SEC can stay atop the College Football mountain:
Patrick Snow (@AthlonSnowman): A familiar chant has reigned over the college football world for the last five Januarys – "S-E-C, S-E-C!" It may seem stubborn to pick against America's toughest conference, however, I believe that streak will end in 2011, with the fans in Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12 country chanting "Finally, Finally!"
So if not the SEC, then who? Here's a look at the teams with the best shot to break the streak:
The Oklahoma Sooners have to be the best bet to prevent an SEC sextet (is that an NCAA violation or just at BYU?). The Oklahoma offense should be a juggernaut this season, with quarterback Landry Jones and All-America wide receiver Ryan Broyles leading the way. OU has playmakers at every skill position, and the defense is young but very talented. It will not be easy to win at Florida State in September, but I can see Bob Stoops' bunch – which beat FSU by 30 last year – running the table in the Big 12. Oklahoma is my top choice to take the crown away from the SEC.
The Oregon Ducks got a taste of the title game last year, and they will be motivated to finish the job this season. All-America runner LaMichael James and quarterback Darron Thomas are back to lead one of the nation's most creative and explosive offenses. There are concerns on the O-line, but Chip Kelly and staff have recruited well and should be able to continue lighting up scoreboards. The defense will be solid, although All-America cornerback Cliff Harris is suspended for the huge opener against LSU. If the Ducks beat the Tigers, I believe they will go unbeaten in league play once again.
Jimbo Fisher's recruiting has been stellar in Tallahassee, and the Florida State Seminoles are ready to return to national prominence. The offense doesn't have that one All-American, but the depth chart is loaded with solid playmakers at running back and receiver. Quarterback EJ Manuel has proven to be an effective starter, and he could break out as a star this season. The defense has great athletes at every level, with dominant pass rusher Brandon Jenkins and freaky corners in Greg Reid and Xavier Rhodes leading the way. If FSU can get revenge on Oklahoma, the Noles could be playing for it all in January.
The common theme between these three – besides being great teams – is that they could lose the big non-conference game early and still play for the national title by going undefeated in their league. I'm not sure the SEC teams will be able to overcome any out-of-conference losses.
Two other dark horses to break the streak are Boise State and Nebraska. I would not pick the Broncos to beat an undefeated SEC opponent in the big game, but an undefeated Boise could prevent a one-loss SEC from getting to the title tilt (can't you just hear the talk shows on that one?). The Cornhuskers have a new-look offense and a new conference. Quarterback Taylor Martinez should become comfortable with that new offense during a very manageable first month of the schedule, and the defense should be great with tackle Jared Crick and linebacker Lavonte David leading the way. The Big Ten road isn't easy, but NU could become a "legend" in its first year in the league.
Braden Gall (@AthlonBraden): It is highly unlikely that the SEC will win every remaining BCS championship – whether the money-grubbing series ends in 2014 or not. But until proven otherwise, the SEC is still looking down on everyone else in college football, and 2011 will be no different.
A half decade of dominance says so.
The real question is, whose turn is it? Four different SEC teams have claimed the BCS National Championship over the last four seasons, and there are rabid packs of Tigers, Hogs and Bulldogs with their eyes set on a trip to New Orleans in January.
The Contenders: Alabama, LSU and Arkansas are obvious top-15 teams who return loaded for bear in the SEC West. South Carolina, fresh off its first SEC title game berth in school history, Georgia and Florida each enter the summer with a legit claim to the SEC East throne.
The Florida Gators are absolutely loaded with young talent, and Gainesville native Will Muschamp has a coaching staff with sparkling NFL resumes. South Carolina is brimming with confidence and returns a solid defensive line to go with skill players that make NFL general managers salivate. Georgia has the best quarterback in the conference, Aaron Murray, who is a special player with a championship prep resume and one of the best seasons an SEC freshman has ever produced. The chaotic 3-4 defense in year two under defensive coordinator Todd Grantham should be improved and much tougher to stop at the point of attack.
There is clearly still plenty of clout waiting to prove itself in what should be a much-improved SEC East. That said, however, the 2011 champion will likely emerge from the West.
The Razorbacks are replacing the howitzer that was under center last fall, but have one the best supporting casts in the nation waiting for Tyler Wilson. The defensive line should be excellent as game-planning guru Bobby Petrino enters his third season in Fayetteville.
The Hogs have the unenviable task of playing in Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge this fall, and one could argue that the best two rosters in the nation belong to the Crimson Tide and the Bayou Bengals. Each has a head coach with a championship pedigree. Both running games will be downright nasty and incredibly productive. And each team will be battle tested with tricky road non-conference games.
If LSU can survive against Oregon and West Virginia, and Bama can return from Happy Valley unscathed (and from The Swamp, too, for that matter), both schedules will culminate with a battle at the Capstone on November 5.
Alabama has the best offensive line, linebackers, secondary and head coach in the nation and will be at home against the Tigers. And LSU has The Hat.
Regardless how these epic SEC tilts play out, there is no conceivable way an unbeaten SEC champ gets left out of the BCS National Championship game.
I am taking the five-time defending champion. You can have the field.

PHILLY.COM: reports the Philadelphia Flyers have re-signed defenseman Kimmo Timonen to a one-year contract. The deal is for a base salary of $2 million plus $2 million in performance bonuses.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: This will provide a Flyers defense which is turning younger with a veteran presence for next season. Timonen, however, won't address their obvious need for a top-two defenseman. He's no longer capable of playing in that role for an entire season, and they've been unable to find a suitable replacement for the all-but-retired Chris Pronger. This signing also whittles their cap space to $4.55 million for next season. They must re-sign or replace Brayden Schenn, Jason Akeson, Ray Emery and Tye McGinn.
There's been talk of trading Vincent Lecavalier to free up room, but they could be forced to retain a good chunk of his salary to move him, plus they can't take much back in return if their quest this summer is finding a top-two defenseman and perhaps a first line left wing. It's been suggested Matt Read could go into the latter role, but that will still leave them in need of a big-minute blueliner. While they're allowed to go over the cap ceiling by 10 percent in the offseason, they must be cap-compliant when next season begins. They'll get some cap relief by placing Pronger on LTIR ($4.9 million), but they cannot do that until the season starts.

" Brand: Bare Escentuals Type: Face Skincare / Type: Face Care / What it does: Smoothes, "
* Prices may differ from that shown
About Bare Escentuals
Bare Escentuals BareMinerals is brought to you by a company called Cosmeceuticals, who also own the likes of Skin Doctors, MD Formulations, Vitage and many other brands but those being the most well known and popular.
Bare Escentuals first of all introuduced their BareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation in 1976, since then Bare Escentuals has created creamy, feather-light color for all over your face, cheeks and eyes. They have a complete line of loose, powder-like products which are 100% pure BareMinerals. Since the popularity of the foundation. BareMinerals have brought out a range of brushes and facial products such as this in the BareVitamins range.
Although BareMinerals make up has been around since 1976 it is only in the last few years it has become more well known, and it still isn't as widely known about as it should be. It is America's number 1 selling foundation and also the number 1 mineral make up brand in the world, proving that it must be good. It is slowly coming into more salons and getting more of the deserved publicity it should in the UK. Quite a few salons, I have found mainly in the Midlands stock BareMinerals, and the salon I work in does also, and has done for several years - the customers love it! Since using Bare Escentuals make up on my face, I would never use anything else and I know alot of customers feel the same. I think it is the best make up out there by far.
BareVitamins Skin Rev-er Upper
Bare Vitamins Skin Rev-er Upper is an invisible exfoliator in the form of a cream packed full of vitamins. It is formulated with glycolic and salicylic acids and botanical extracts which invisibly exfoliate your skin leaving it soft, smooth and flawless.
Use & Effects
Glycolic acid the smallest of the Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) there is. AHA's are natural ingredients that exfoliate the skin. It is a purely natural ingredient and is derived from sugarcane. As Glycolic acid has the smallest molecules, it is the only thing that can reach the basal layer, which is your very bottom layer of skin. Once applied Glycolic acid will react with through the layers of the skin and works by weakening the binding properties of the lipids that hold dead skin cells together, this is exfoliating. Most products only reach as far as the first few layers of skin if that, not providing a thorough enough exfoliation. You can get different %'s of Glycolic acid in products. Products specially designed to be used by therapists only can contain up to 80% but in this product is only about 10% providing it is safe from home use. Only containing 10% doesn't mean that it doesn't work as well, it is just a less harsh treatment immediately and suitable for unqualified people to use. It works over time rather than an 80% one would have immediate results, such as a chemical peel. Glycolic acid has been proven to reduce wrinkles, acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation and other skin conditions. Salicylic acid is also an AHA and works on the skin by causing the cells in the layers of skin to slough off more readily, preventing pores from clogging up, and allowing room for new cell growth. Glycolic and Salicylic acids work as invisible exfoliators, they aren't like the standard ones, which you rub on and run off. After applying them, they continue to work deep down in your skin for 24 hours without having to wash anything off. The Botanical Extracts in this counteract any irritation occurring from the AHA's.
Now I have just explained about the AHA's in this, and it all does sound a little daunting but it really isn't. All the AHA's are natural and exfoliating your skin is good for it. This product is suitable for all skin types including sensitive which I have. I have eczema on a lot of my face and this never irritates it at all. It's fantastic for oily skin as it regulates the sebum production and is great for dry skin as exfoliation is a must have for dry skin as the main cause of dry skin is a build up of dead skin cells. It is even suitable to apply near the eyes, it doesn't sting or cause them to water.
Skin Rever Upper is a slightly liquidous cream, it does appear like a normal moisturiser and is applied the same. It is fragrance free and also has no natural scent. To apply you squirt a small amount out of the small pump provided and then apply all over your face and neck. It absorbs in about 2 minutes fully, depending on how dry your skin is at the time, if it is very dry it will be quicker than this. Skin Rever Upper should be worn alone or under moisturiser, you can apply make up straight over the top. It should be applied daily, and I would definitely recommend wearing it in the day under your make up and at night, as everything works a little better over night. It will continuously work under your moisturiser and make up for 24 hours, but you won't know it is doing anything. This amazing product will make your skin appear clearer and healthier whilst providing a flawless canvas for make up application, even after just one use. Your make up will stay on longer and appear much fresher and smoother. Immediately after use your pores appear much smaller, and after applying your make up they are nearly invisible. With continued use your pores really do keep getting smaller and after a week or so with daily use they will practically have disappeared. When this is applied to your skin it definitely has a lovely cooling effect and doesn't feel as if it is burning your skin at all. This also helps with blackheads, it gently helps to eliminate and prevent them. Immediately after applying it to your skin, it feels soft and velvety. It doesn't dry or make your skin feel tight, but it definitely mattifies it. It doesn't feel as if it has a greasy residue on it at all nor do you have an oily sheen.
After using for just a week, you will notice a massive difference to your skin. It made my skin appear so much smoother, have an even skin tone and appear less red. It really was an invisible miracle. I have used this now for about 2 years, it is fantastic and when I don't use it, I really notice a difference, my skin goes oily again and my skin appears much more dull and unattractive. The one thing with this product is that you must be careful you aren't using any other products with Glycolic acid in; you should speak to a therapist if you are unsure. If your products contain glycolic acid, you are more than likely going to know that it does. General high street products do not contain it. It will be a specifically prescribed product from a therapist. If you are having chemical peels, then it is fine to use as homecare from the peel, but again, speak to your therapist to check the products they are using. At my salon, we use MD Formulations and this product is fine to use with their chemical peels.
Skin Rever Upper comes in a small white bottle with a black lid and pump action dispenser. This is easy to use, and doesn't get clogged up or need cleaning. The only problem with the bottle being white is that it can get a little dirty, especially if you're like me and carry everything round in your handbag with you. This doesn't affect the quality of the product at all though. I find a bottle of this will last about 1 year and ½ with daily use, so it really does last a long time!
Price & Availability
For a small bottle of this you will be looking to pay between £17 and £24. Although it seems a lot to pay, it lasts so long and is such a fantastic product I really don't think it is. It can be purchased from www.lookfantastic.com or any salon stocking BareMinerals products.
Although it seems quite a lot to pay, for such a fantastic product with such quick and effective results, it isn't. It is easy to use, and can be worn under make up; you'll never know it's there whilst it secretly works underneath your skin. The bottle lasts for so long, providing another reason why this is so great. I really would recommend this product to anyone as no ones skin is 100% perfect.

By Victor Schwartzman
January 18, 2014
Although some January weeks have already passed, it is still a brand new 2014. As we look towards the future, what better time to think of that great prognosticator, Nostradamus. What did he have to say about AODA?
Readers may recall a previous prediction from Nostradamus. However, Minister Eric Hoskins, who released the prediction, admitted it might not be authentic as he had received it when "someone" had slipped it under his door. The prediction also appear to be self-serving: that AODA would not be fully implemented until the Leafs win the Stanley Cup. No one believed it that the Leafs would ever win the Stanley Cup.
So if that was not a "real" prediction from Nostradamus, was there an actual prediction for the upcoming year? To find out for you, dear reader, I searched high and definitely low. Would I find useful predictions from 1555 about Ontario access law implementation in 2014? Was that too specific for Nostradamus?
Using the vast resources of the international conglomerates Accessibility News and the AODA Alliance, I researched libraries in never known corners of the world, which was not easy as by definition they were in never known corners. Those libraries we never did find.
But we did find other libraries and sources of previously unknown Nostradamus predictions, many of them on the internet. Eventually we discovered several predictions, written in 1554 and grouped by Nostradamus under one category: "Access Issues In The Land By The Great Lakes Across The Sea If The World Isn't Flat."
Here is the first:
In the centre of a nation, in the city of hogs
Visions from the air stream into homes
They sit for hours, access of cable is great
Nothing on other access, sorry about that
Ontario is certainly near the "lakes called great," everyone knows that it is the centre of Canada and that Ontario's capital is Hog Town. Don't you have to hand it to that Nostradamus? Was he taking seer pills, or what? So far, great! In this one quatrain he also predicted live streaming of television over the internet.
Of course, given the accuracy in the rest of the prediction, that last line is a real downer.
Nothing new in access implementation for 2014? Could that possibly be? I kept digging because I was tireless, a dedicated journalist and because there has been absolutely nothing to write about since Dean Moran was appointed months ago and then disappeared.
And, there was indeed more:
Over steps and curbs and into guilds
In 2014 some still shall not go
Wynne will call an election
No change for AODA will there will be
This prediction, although arguably too vague to be certain, that in 2014 access and AODA implementation will not improve. Clearly, he predicts that employment opportunities will not improve for people who have disabilities, nor will physical access to streets and buildings. Nostradamus does not predict who will win the election, but apparently it does not matter.
And here is another prediction totally on point:
A review in the land by the lakes
Shall be presented in clear script
On AODA implementation problems
The Minister has a new paperweight
Here, Nostradamus predicts that the Independent Reviewer, Dean Mayo Moran, will complete her legislated review of progress in the implementation of AODA and provide her assessment. Sadly, Nostradamus' prediction on how the report will be used is identical to how the Government used the previous report.
Those predictions seemed spot on. However, the last prediction took an ugly turn.
An author of the great lakes land yet not
Writes weekly of happenings with AODA
Each time he writes about nothing
Nor he will never win the 6/49
This felt personal.
For over half a year I have written columns about the Ontario Government doing nothing to implement AODA properly. Every week they did nothing, and that was all there was to write about. The prediction I might give up writing about nothing every week is troubling (and oddly relieving.)
And never winning the lottery? Ouch!
I now hope none of the above predictions turns out to be true, but does it take a genius seer to predict there will be no AODA progress in 2014?
Next: A Description Of What Packing To Move Is Like: Prepare For Whining
Victor Schwartzman contributes this weekly satiric column to Accessibility News nothing in these columns is true except what they are about. His graphic novel (where each chapter is one issue of a community newspaper) is serialized on the great Canadian lit site, http://www.redfez.net . He also contributes a monthly poetry review to the online magazine, Target Audience ( http://www.targetaudiencemagazine.com ), has had poetry and short fiction published (by someone else), and has edited novels.

Two years ago, a rough start similar to the one the Rock is going through now, cost head coach Ed Comeau his job.
The man who replaced Comeau now finds himself in a similar funk, but apparently has nothing to worry about.
"It's not a coaching issue, we'll be fine," Rock president Brad Watters said about coach/general manager Terry Sanderson's status heading into tonight's tilt against the Buffalo Bandits.
"Terry's under a three-year contract," Watters added. "It's just a part of starting a season slow. (The team owners) know what we've got with players and coaching and we're very happy with them and think these guys can get it going."
Comeau was fired as interim coach after leading the Rock to a 2-4 start in 2004.
Sanderson said he doesn't concern himself with worrying about his own future and also believes his team is ready to collect a win tonight.
"The guys are upbeat and ready to go," Sanderson said, adding that the team had one of its better practices of the season late this week.
"We're not playing bad. We're just a little bit away from playing at the level we should be at. I'm expecting our best effort."
Downtown Buffalo has been strangely welcoming for the Rock, 8-2 all-time at HSBC. In fact, the visiting team has won the past five Toronto-Buffalo encounters.
Last weekend, the Bandits defeated the Rock 13-11 at the Air Canada Centre.
The Rock will likely be without promising young defenceman Brad MacDonald who was slashed last Saturday in the game with Rochester and may have suffered a broken hand.

I shot a nice buck the other day that I want to do a 1/2 lifesize mount on. In a semi-sneak sweep position. I just haven't seen many forms. Do you usually have to buy a full lifesize form and cut the back off and insert a plywood backboard. After tanning he should measure around 7 1/4 x 21. I haven't measure the girth yet. Also when skinning and caping him should I make a relieve cut from the knee down to the ankle on the backside of the legs or the inside of the legs. How easy is it to flesh out the hooves. Thanks any info would be great.

You will need to split the back of the leg where the hair patterns meet,[it also helps hide the seam since the hair is longer. Tak ing out the hoove is a little time consuming but not to hard. I like to split the hoove all the way between the toes then using a scaple start carveing out the bone. Using a flat head screwdriver to dig into the joint I found to be effective.


text: hi, good ... morning : ) I am just confused by the following code > oneOnly :: [Int] > oneOnly = [1] > isOneOnly :: [Int] -> Bool > isOneOnly oneOnly = True > isOneOnly tester = False what I want to do is to define a 'type' oneOnly as [1] and use it on the pattern matching in function isOneOnly. But it does not work as I expect: When I type isOneOnly [1] it will be True which is the result I expect but for is OneOnly [1,2] the result keeps True, it seems the second pattern has been ignored, I think I try to achieve the purpose in a wrong way, any suggestion?

these kids' bad behavior is not limited to the school hallways and beside school flagpoles. it is actually easier to taunt, cuss out, and generally degrade other kids with instant messages or blog entries. nothing seems to be too much, from calling the girl with pimples "pimpleface" to telling someone she has "really good boobs" to posting embarrassing pictures and videos on the web.
psychologists are also saying that the distance between bully and victim increases the severity of the issues. while someone might not cuss you out to your face, he or she can more easily send you an im or post an anonymous entry on a school blog.

joshua's opinion
technology is having a large effect on our culture, and this is just one of the many problems that is bound to come out of those effects. kids are notoriously more tech-savvy than their parents or teachers, and it makes sense that those adults don't know what to do about these problems.
the first thing that comes to my mind is to teach your kids to save the messages and then take them to a school administrator. better yet, take them to the school admin and to the bully's parents.
that is really the issue here. parents are increasingly distanced from and uninvolved with their childrens' education. they don't take an active role in teaching their kids themselves, and they don't take the time to know their kids' teachers.
yes, i am painting parents in broad strokes, and yes, i know that not all parents are like that. the fact remains that the majority of parents fit within the description above, indicating a deeper disconnect between the generations.

|oh come on… (10:39am est fri aug 27 2004)
has our society gotten so soft that two dimensional electronic representations of words on a screen are enough to traumatize students. the kids making the threats don't even have the back bone to make them in person. they're not even smart enough to realize that a threat in person is easier to hide than an online one that could be traced back to its source and has a very easy trail to follow. good god kids these days are thin-skinned and whiny. – by blah
|culpability… (10:43am est fri aug 27 2004)
if you don't prevent a child from behaving in this way then the behaviour becomes formulised into their characters.
pussy footing and allowing children free reign allows them to be shaped by an environment where the strongest set the behaviour patterns before the children have developed moral codes. i.e. little monsters..
by the time they hit the age of adulthood they have been ruined. little respect for society and their neighbours.
wiser men then us said 'spare the rod and spoil the child' and modern days perspective that we know better then parents over the millennia is perhaps a little conceited. and the escalating crime figures are clear and irrefutable proof that modern practices are letting society and the kids down. – by bringbackthebirch
|re: crash n. (10:46am est fri aug 27 2004)
isn't that the message that was conveyed when the president and everyone else in the government said, "violence is not the answer, and as soon as we find out who attacked us we're going to blow them to bits"?
now back to the "cyberbullying". i've always viewed ims and chatrooms as being modern incarnations of the cb radio. ever listen to a cb radio these days? truckers talking trash, cussing eachother out, etc. i'm waiting for the article about traumatized truckers. yeah kids are more sensitive, but let's be realistic. my calling you a "pooh head" in im does nothing to you. i hope these "traumatized" kids never try to take up a career in the public spotlight, or be police or military officers. – by blah

if a male student ims a female student that he's going to rape her after gym class, would you consider that a problem? how about stop by the bathroom for your bag of pot? what about simply lying about sleeping with, the sexual orientation, a medical problem, or committing a crime? schools deal with this on a daily basis. – by tech

i speak from experience, and i can honestly say, it worked on me.
to this day, i have never instigated a fight, and have never beat anybody up.
example: a group of punks, picking on an old person, or someone much weaker than they are, or punks willfully destroying property.
what's the politically correct alternative?
most of the time, police don't even respond, because they are overwhelmed with crime, and do not have the tools neccessary to deal with it all.
things were different, way back when people respected one anther, and then a thing called "the young offenders act" came along,( don't know what it's called in the us), which gave the "yoots", more rights and freedoms, and removed a bunch of rights and freedoms, from the poweres that be, (the law, parents, teachers), and presto, all of a sudden you have more young offenders. go figure? – by willy

short of actually murdering someone the young offender in britain can expect to be let of with a caution.
including house breaking, car theft vandalisim and violence.
resulting in the complete freedom to act as badly as they want until the first time they are 'pinched' after that chances are the threat of a minor �100 fine for stealing and destroying a �20,000 car must make them giggle.
bring them into line. install respect and if this fails install fear..allow them to grow and enjoy a normal law abiding life. – by bringbackthebirch
|anouther point though (12:01pm est fri aug 27 2004)
people in england seem to wish that the youth of the country respect them as they had respected the generation above them.
it is important to remebmere that that generation had fought and died for their freedom. this generation also now lives in abject poverty as the 'responsible generation' squanders the welfare invesmetnts that they had made.
the youth however can now enjoy the prospects of not affording the university prospects enjoyed by their parents. (who had it free, but dont want to repay the favour) and also little johnnies most unrealistic dream is to have a home and a family..
in the last 7 years a young person will need to find �120,000 more to be in the same position as anyone before.
if you want respect, earn it. do not sacrifice the future of a generation because you want free money.

even as little as 15-20 years ago. i walked nearly a mile to school and back each day i was in the *1st grade*. neither my parents nor i gave it any thought (i did get a ride if it was really bad weather, though). in today's world, do you think i'd let my kids do that? (only 4 blocks to their school, by the way).
what's changed is not the amount of respect kids had for their elders, it's the *lack* of respect nearly everyone has for everyone else these days. kids just copy what they see other (older) people doing. they see a society where personal responsibility is nonexistent and are simply acting the way they think people want them to act (irresponsibly). – by jrink
|true, school do not punish threats against students, (1:16pm est fri aug 27 2004)
but threats against teachers gets the police called. schools actually monitor chat rooms frequented by their students, and that wastes money. but you can't have a student say he's going to shoot a teacher on her way to her car, even in im. not after all the school violence over the past couple of years. and we get them every time as isps are actually willing to help when it's a threat against a teacher. – by tech
|jrink (1:25pm est fri aug 27 2004)
i disagree. youth seems to always have had contempt for their questionably wiser mentors. thats what punk rock and rebellion is all about.
i also think spankings should be reserved as utimate punishments and not to just be used for everything.
spanking should when:
1) they play with fire or set something on fire.
everything else can have a punishment which can fit the crime. i have spanked my son only twice in 12 years and it was most certainly deserved at the time. twice was enough because the threat of it can sometimes be another form of punishment. the threat is empty unless they know what its like though.
positive reinforcement and attention is by far the best way to get good results from kids. both my kids are straight 'a' students because i spend a lot of time with them and consistently reward them for their good behavior.
i believe its the extremes between reward and punishment which helps keep them focused and out of trouble. people who dont spank (like my sister) sometimes end up with children with no concept of consequences. she wonders why i wont watch them for her.. – by geekzilla
|geekzilla, way of topic (1:53pm est fri aug 27 2004)
parenting is tough. i also don't spank, but it's been because there is a respect between my kids and us. it starts when they are small, and never ends. my oldest is 19 and still needs to be reminded to respect us. my wife's parents live about 4 blocks away, so they grew up with respecting their elders.
it's important to give positive reinforcement when they don't expect it. but never let them do something they shouldn't without consequences, and negitive reinforcement is simply taking way something they value. and never allow them not to appoligize, even to strangers. it's part of the forgiveness process. lol it's like the commercial where the guy says, "i'm sorry" for any answer.
i've really got 3 great kids. my youngest, who just turned 12, is a college level programmer. this summer he read and did the assignments from hs geometry and algebra text books. i've never pushed or helped them with their homework. i just don't stop them or tell them not to learn. – by tech
|btw (1:56pm est fri aug 27 2004)
bullies can be handled through negotiation and forming groups of friends.
i tell my son (who takes self-defense classes) to tell the bully that they could both fight, get hurt, and get in trouble but wouldn't it be better if we just became friends?
i think most bullies are bullies because they are either jealous or have abusive parents. if you can get them to understand you better and try to be their friends then you have just made an ally for the next bully who comes along. – by geekzilla
|re: tech (2:11pm est fri aug 27 2004)
note that i carefully said sometimes people who don't spank end up with undiciplined children. i can think of a few old friends of mine who are 35, live in the mothers garage, and still act like jackasses. they were never spanked.
i don't mind if someone thinks i may be barbaric for the few times i have had to use corpal punishment.
my son is 12 now and i think that is the cut off age for spanking and thats where pure reason takes over.
i will never spank my daughter. thats reserved for my wife to do but so far seeing her brother spanked has been good enough for her to know what its like.
look again at the reasons i listed for spanking… one of the times was because he was playing with the long fireplace matches and set the house on fire. fortuately i put it out before it did any real damage but my wife seriously burned her hands trying to douse the flames with a blanket and needed immediate medical treatment.
i'm sorry but just taking away the matches and making him stay in his room for 6 weeks with no privleges just doesn't cut it for me in that situation. there has to be an ultimate consequence when something threatens the lives of your entire family.
i think this is all pretty much on topic as just beating a kid is what makes a bully.. – by geekzilla

i totaly agree… as a parent of now grown-up children. i only had to use corporal punishment a couple of times and it was always the last resort( something very very bad)..seems to me they never repeated any of thoughs mistakes twice. you must also consider that corporal punishment is most likely hundreds of thousands of years old if not millions. our offspring have evolved to expect it.. its natural.
im sure some of our early ancestors smacked there kidds behind for taunting a bear or scaring away super…i would have. im no different – by freeke

BERLIN -- Two German museums returned more than 80 artworks Monday to a Jewish art-lover's heirs decades after they first sought compensation for a collection seized by the Nazis.
At a Berlin ceremony, officials from the western city of Hanover handed over an oil painting by Lovis Corinth valued at up to $470,000, while the eastern city of Leipzig returned more than 80 works, mostly drawings and prints by Max Klinger.
The handover comes a year after a request to the museums on behalf of the heirs of Leipzig-based publisher Gustav Kirstein by the Commission for Art Recovery, a body set up by the World Jewish Congress to help heirs reclaim art treasures stolen during World War II from their families.

Fallen Earth - GDC Preview @ Ten Ton Hammer
Ten Ton Hammer has a look at the post-apoc title Fallen Earth based on a GDC viewing:
The storyline requires more than a modest mention, as it's far from a lofty sidebar to your adventure; indeed, it seemed to have had bearing on every aspect of the demo. The tale of Fallen Earth, Hammock explained, is the really story of its factions, each with their own ideas of how to keep civilization safe in a post-apocalyptic world. The Chota ( or "Children of the Apocalypse") believe that the only way to prevent the re-invention of nuclear weapons and other broadly destructive weapons is by chaotically frustrating society's attempts to develop beyond covering the barest necessities. The Enforcers believe that authoritarian government and an emphasis on law and order is the way to go. The Vistas, like the operating system of the same name, seek to send everyone backwards in time, believing that repairing and fostering nature is the only way to restore balance.
Information aboutFallen Earth
SP/MP: Massive
Setting: Post-Apoc

KEARNS — The two embattled speedskating coaches accused of physically and emotionally abusing U.S. athletes resigned their positions Thursday afternoon.
Former head coach Jae Su Chun, who's been on leave for nearly a month, and assistant Jun Hyung Yeo, who took over the national program when Chun was placed on leave, also accepted suspensions from U.S. Speedskating until February 2014.
U.S. Speedskating spokeswoman Tamara Castellano said she could not say why the two men had been suspended, but said the resignations and suspensions bring an end to any disciplinary investigations by U.S. Speedskating into the accusations against Chun and Yeo.
The suspensions mean that while the two men can coach elite athletes privately, they cannot be credentialed for any U.S. Speedskating event or through any U.S. athlete, even independent of the team.
An independent investigation handled by the law firm of White and Case found no evidence to support a "pattern" of physical or emotional abuse against Chun or Yeo. Additionally, the two-month investigation also couldn't conclusively say whether Chun ordered Olympic bronze medalist Simon Cho to tamper with the skates of a Canadian athlete.
The 20-year-old Cho admitted to using a device to bend the blade of Canadian skater Olivier Jean during the 2011 World Championships in Poland. But he said in a news conference last week that he did so only because Chun repeatedly told him to do so and the coach promised he'd take full responsibility if it were found out.
"It was the biggest mistake of my life and one that I regret with all of my heart," said Cho, who still remains under investigation by U.S. Speedskating for the incident. Cho said Chun asked him three separate times, and after the first time, he asked him in Korean, which changed the nature of the request.
"When he spoke in Korean, I knew he was serious," said Cho, who, like Chun and Yeo, is also Korean. "Because at this point, not only was he coming to me as my coach, but as my Korean elder, and when an elder makes a request, it's very difficult to deny."
Castellano said a disciplinary investigation into Cho's actions is ongoing and a hearing will likely be held in the next week.
U.S. Speedskating appointed interim coaches Monday, including Stephen Gough, who competed in the 1994 Olympics for Canada, and Pat Wendland, a 30-year veteran coach who has worked with athletes like Apolo Anton Ohno. The interim coaches will travel with the U.S. team to its first world cup competition in seven days.Comment on this story
The 2012 World Cup season begins Oct. 19 in Calgary, Canada. All the athletes who qualified for the U.S. Speedskating fall world cup team have accepted their spots, including the athletes involved in the grievance against the coaches.
Those athletes on the team are: J.R. Celski, Federal Way, Wash.; Chris Creveling, Kintnersville, Pa.; Kyle Carr, Peach Tree City, Ga.; Jeff Simon, Las Vegas; Travis Jayner, Midland, Minn.; John Henry Krueger, Pittsburgh; Jessica Smith, Melvindale, Minn.; Sarah Chen, San Marino, Calif.; Lana Gehring, Northbrook, Ill.; Emily Scott, Springfield, Mo.; Alyson Dudek, Hales Corners, Wis.; Tamara Fredrick, Park Ridge, Ill.

New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) Indo-French brand Lecoanet Hemant has clocked 35 years, and it's now diversifying with the launch of a new line, 'GENES – Lecoanet Hemant'. Designer Hemant Sagar says the idea of the latest launch is to fill the space in the daily wear market in India, with a line that celebrates the country's journey in the 21st century.
The first collection in the line is titled 'Here and Now', and it's for fall-winter 2015. It is inspired by the country's contemporary accomplishments, technological revolution and development of society.
Sagar told IANS: "The inspiration came from two things – the first was the cultural heritage that we bring along, and the second was to make a collection that is wearable and can be tried as daily wear. When it comes to daily dressing, many people have questions.
"So for this range, it is all about making clothes that are wearable and at the same time promote tradition. This collection is elegant and defines your culture without being over-dressed."
The designer also said that he carried out significant research for the new collection.
"We did an in-depth analysis, and I came to the conclusion that there is a whole new breed of people in India who are young at heart. People who are international in mindset, but still very Indian.
"The culture that doesn't stop you from enjoying Bollywood, that doesn't stop you from going to a traditional wedding which is culturally like stepping back in time to 50 or 70 years ago…so we are very progressive, modern but yet very traditional, and these factors make India one of the best markets for fashion," he said.
Slated to debut on the e-retail platform Amazon.in in September 2015, 'Here and Now' products are divided into three main categories: menswear, womenswear and accessories.
These categories are further focused to address various lifestyle needs – Play, Work and Leisure – to present a comprehensive collection each season. The collection is priced from Rs.2,500 to Rs.25,000.

There's nothing in Alper Sankaya's "Manuganu 2" that you haven't seen before. It's a platform runner, and there's only so much you can do with a side-scroller, right? Sankaya proves us wrong with that last statement, because as limited as the platform running game could be, what the developer has done with Manuganu 2 is more than enough to catch your attention and make you waste minutes in casual gaming.
The game manages to carry casual gamers along – with seemingly endless replay value – on the back of some solid platforming gameplay, a beautifully-rendered game world, and a very welcome amount of variety for such a limited game. You play as a little tribal fellow who faces challenges along the side-scrolling action. The first stage will make you immediately familiar with the platforming games that we've all played in our childhood.
But suddenly, the game introduces new paths and trails, new sections. The view will switch and you will find your little tribal guy in the middle of a frenetic climbing level that requires you to run and flip between vertical poles. The game is actually very smartly produced in introducing new challenges, and even a new glide ability lets you, well… fly.
We warn you that none of this is close to being original, but therein lies the surprise – the game is still fun to play in spite of this. Manuganu 2 seems to have perfected the right mix of borrowed ideas and new ones that gives the game warmth and excitement. The game is free to download at the source link via the Google Play Store.

I remember you! I was really impressed back then as I am now!
We are in the middle of...
Hi all!
We are in week 4 already in Don's workshop!
Time flies when you're having fun... that's what they say.
Here's a few WIP that I got so far:
We are busy busy with Don's Monster workshop...
So we will post some monsters soon...
I think that as long as you post something... you are on the right track!
So all of you...go ahead and...
I think is awesome that you can bring the tablet with you and sketch...
I never tried sketching from life on a tablet.
As for Don's class, it starts on the 15th Feb.
I think they're great studies!
Not much critiques to give I'm afraid!
And to keep alive a tradition of mine (unfinished pieces) ... here's another one!
Superb work Brandon!
I mean... what can I say!?!
the lighting is great... the angle really cool...
highlights are deadly
and the rain... could be better
f....ing stunning

You have to see the movie... in 3D!
I think is 2 hours per day (live or on demand) plus assignment.
And then there's the portfolio review week...
here's a link for the Schedule of Classes of Discovery....
I'm surprised that Don has a tutorial so soon.
I'm in for sure... even if the price went up a bit.
I wouldn't miss any of Don's tutorials.
Anyway... let's see some sketches based on Avatar...
this way I might even finish mine.... That would be a first! :D
Hi guys.
To my shame I have nothing done for this theme. But I guess everybody is a bit busy (or lazy in my case) at the beginning of this new year.
I think we should chose some new theme and...
Wow... superb work!
The values are spot on...
The composition and the theme are brilliant!
Can't wait to see the next step!
Wow...superb work Brandon!
Thanks for the comments guys!
I'll try and have something ready for the challenge!
Superb work guys... I feel guilty for not having something to show.
I can see some minor mistakes but I will come back with a critique soon.
As for the theme... We can have a weekly theme...

Why do more women than men start businesses in Canada but more men grow them?
We are particularly interested in understanding how to strengthen the participation of specific profiles of women business owners – immigrant, Aboriginal and social entrepreneurs. Our intent is to educate ourselves and others about the barriers that different WE profiles encounter with scaling their businesses.
This project takes a collaborative approach and we have set up two advisory groups; one internal to Vancity and the other made up of community stakeholder organizations. Both advisory groups guide the project and will ultimately be key mechanisms through which to:
engage in pilot project activities;
receive, discuss and frame project learnings;
disseminate project learnings; and
structure future collaborations relating to women entrepreneurs.
