New Year thoughts from the bayou state
January 06, 2012 at 10:52 am | Mobile Reader | Print
Did you make a New Years resolution yet? I always do. Hope and foreboding are at the top of my list and have been these past few years.
The New Year always brings a promise of uncertainty. More so for most of us in the coming year. I would rather be absorbed with the more mundane things in life. But that wont happen in the busy lives that most of us lead.
One resolution I make each year is to maintain my curiosity.
It doesnt matter how limited your perspective or the scope of your surroundings, there is (or should be) something to whet your interest and strike your fancy.
I discovered early on that there are two kinds of people those who are curious about the world around them, and those whose shallow attentions are generally limited to those things that pertain to their own personal well-being. I just hope all those I care about fall into the former category.
And a resolution of hope.
Successful and fulfilling endeavors for my children, happiness and contentment for family and friends, the fortitude to handle both the highs and lows of daily living with dignity.
I ask my children each year to give me two gifts for Christmas. First, to make a donation to a charity that will help needy families in their community. And second, to read and re-read the unforgettable holocaust novel Night, by Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Peace laureate who survived the Nazi death camps.
I have a Wiesel quote framed on my office desk:
"To defeat injustice and misfortune, if only for one instant, for a single victim, is to invent a new reason to hope."
Just like many of you, our family welcomes in the New Year with "Auld Lang Syne."
Its an old Scotch tune, with words passed down orally, and recorded by my favorite historical poet, Robert Burns, back in the 1700s. (Im Scottish, so theres a bond here.)
"Auld Lang Syne," literally means "old long ago," or simply, "the good old days."
Did you know this song is sung at the stroke of midnight in almost every English-speaking country in the world to bring in the New Year?
I can look back over many years of memorable New Years Eve celebrations. In recent years, my wife and I have joined a gathering of family and friends in New Orleans at Antoines Restaurant in the French Quarter.
Our private party normally clusters in the Rex Room for a complete dinner including an array of seafood appetizers (oysters, shrimp and crabmeat) and flaming Baked Alaska for dessert.
Yes, a number of champagne-filled toasts occasionally with a family member dancing on the table. Then off to join the masses for the New Years countdown to midnight in Jackson Square. We often finish the evening (or early morning) at Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville on Decatur Street.
When my daughters were quite young, we spent a number of New Year holidays at a family camp on Davis Island, in the middle of the Mississippi River some 30 miles below Vicksburg. On several occasions, the only people there were my family and Bishop Charles P. Greco, who was the Catholic Bishop for central and north Louisiana.
Bishop Greco had baptized all three of my daughters, and had been a family friend for years. And he did love to deer hunt.
On many a cold and rainy morning, the handful of us at the camp would rise before dawn for the Bishop to conduct a New Years Mass.
After the service, most of the family went back to bed. I would crank up my old jeep, and take the Bishop out in the worst weather with hopes of putting him on a stand where a large buck would pass.
No matter what the weather, he would stay all morning with his shotgun and thermos of coffee.
He rarely got a deer, but oh how he loved to be there in the woods. Now Im not a Catholic, but he treated me as one of his own.
One of the most fulfilling and rewarding projects I undertook in my Louisiana state senate days was to help Bishop Greco fund and build the St. Marys Residential and Training School for retarded children in Alexandria.
He was, for me, a great mentor and friend who touched the lives of so many. He died in 1987 and I will always think of him on New Years Day.
New Years Day means lots of football, but I also put on my chefs apron.
Im well-regarded in the kitchen around my household, if I say so myself, for cooking up black-eyed peas as well as cabbage and corn bread. And dont bet I wont find the dime in the peas. After all, Im going to put it there.
Happy New Year to you, your friends and all of your family.

Aldeburgh (pronounced ALL-bur-uh ) is a cute little town on the Suffolk coast with a lot of character and culture. You may have heard of the Aldeburgh Music Festival, but that is actually held in the nearby village of Snape. There is also the Aldeburgh Carnival, which is held every August going back 170 years! Aldeburgh used to be a fairly big port with a shipbuilding industry – a couple of the most significant vessels in English history were built there. Today a lot of the old town has been lost to coastal erosion and Aldeburgh has become a picturesque fishing village and a seaside resort. The town attracts many visitors with its famous Aldeburgh Fish and Chips shop.
In this small town there is lots to do, let me explain:
- Aldeburgh Fish & Chips – Yes, you can get fish & chips all over Britain, but Aldeburgh Fish & Chips has a reputation for some of the best in the country. Luckily, they have three locations – two takeaway shops at either end of the town (Aldeburgh Fish & Chips and The Golden Galleon) and a sit down restaurant upstairs (The Upper Deck). The restaurant is too small to accommodate strollers, so it does not cater for children under three. If the weather is decent, go to one of the takeaway shops and then you can eat your fish & chips on the seawall looking out over the North Sea. The fish is so fresh, possibly caught that morning from one of the town's fishermen. You can have cod, plaice, haddock, or scampi (shrimp), but the most traditional is cod. They have medium and large portions. Two people can easily share the large portion. While they also offer some other menu items that's not why there are long lines. I even waited 30 minutes once. I would avoid the mushy peas though, it's just wrong.
Got to one of the famous Fish & Chips shops before noon to be first in line!
- Ice Cream – After everyone has their fish & chips, they queue (British way of saying wait in line) for the Ive's Ice Cream Parlour. On a warm day, you should try some if you still have room in your stomach. They stock over 30 different flavors of ice cream/sorbet/frozen yogurt made from locally sourced ingredients. They even have gluten-free cones!
- Walk along the beach to see the "Scallop" – Walks on the beach are always relaxing. Since this beach is a pebble one, not sand, it may be more comfortable to walk along the beach instead of on it. Just north of the town on, the beach you will find a rather striking sculpture known as the "Scallop" by Maggi Hambling. It is meant to be a tribute to Benjamin Britten, a composer who spent much of his life in Aldeburgh. The phrase "I hear those voices that will not be drowned" (taken from one of Britten's works) is written on the 15 foot high sculpture. I really like the sculpture but it is controversial because some people feel that it should not be located on the serene beach. You are encouraged to sit on the statue and many children love to climb it.
- Art Galleries – The "Scallop" is not the only artwork in Aldeburgh. There are several art galleries throughout the town. I recommend stopping in as many as you can. We made it to three. The largest gallery is Thompson's, which also has a location in London.
- Shopping – There are several cute shops to check out along High Street. Adnams, a local brewery, has a store which sells wine, liquor, kitchen accessories, in addition to their beer. Additionally, Alde River limited has a lot of great gifts.
- Tea at the Brudenell Hotel – Afternoon tea is a great English Tradition. We had afternoon tea at the Brudenell, right on the water at the south end of the town. Afternoon tea here is pretty much a meal – sandwiches, scones, and other treats- and you get your own pot of your choice of tea. My favorite part of tea is the clotted cream (this is not the same as butter!) that you put on your scone. I would describe it as a sweeter creamier butter. Unfortunately, it is not really available outside of the UK.
- Pubs – As in pretty much all English towns, you have several pubs to choose from. The Mill Inn, located close to Moot Hall (the town hall that has been used for council meetings for over 400 years), is a good option.
Unfortunately, Aldeburgh does not have easy access to public transportation. From London, you would need to take a train from Liverpool Street Station to Ipswich (about an hour). From Ipswich, you can catch a bus (another 1 1/2 hours) or take the train to Saxmundham and then a taxi to Aldeburgh. Additionally, if you drive to Aldeburgh, parking can be a problem during the summer tourist season. You might have to drive around a bit to find a space or park north of town and walk.
If you get the chance, Aldeburgh is definitely worth a visit. Have you been? I would love to hear about your experience.
Expert Tips for Your Visit to Aldeburgh:
- Go to the Aldeburgh Fish & Chips location with the shortest line, they are all owned by the same family.
- If it is nice weather, eat on the seawall.
- Walk along the beach and see the "Scallop."

The overhaul of security that Android 5.0 'Lollipop' offers is perhaps the biggest one in the history of the mobile OS. Arguably, Lollipop 5.0 is the most secure version of the Android OS. Apart from challenging Apple's iOS more effectively, this appears aimed at attracting a greater share of enterprise users.
It is essential for enterprises to support Android as it has a majority of market share in the smartphone market globally. So IT managers in enterprises have begun to integrate Android into their mobile strategies, especially in view of recent trends like 'bring your own device' (BYOD).
For several years, the Android platform's fragmentation remained an obstacle for enterprise support for it. Administrators were worried about allowing Android on their networks due to the security risks involved. Even if they did allow it, Android was limited to Exchange ActiveSync access. All that appears set to change with the advent of the Lollipop version. Apart from enterprises, obviously, this should be of interest to companies offering Android application development services.
Let us look at some of the enterprise-friendly security features of the Android 5.0 Lollipop:
Enhanced security with inclusion of MDM/EMM APIs
For a standard approach to the security and management of Android mobile devices, Google has included MDM/EMM APIs. Enterprise mobility management solution vendors will no longer have to create different versions for devices of different manufacturers running on Lollipop. They will have to continue to do so for devices running Android versions earlier than Lollipop, of course.
Google has also strengthened the base operating system, strengthening the data security by default. The new APIs number in thousands and many of them help enterprises.
Android for Work securely separates personal data from work data
Samsung's Knox technology is said to have contributed to Android's open source project that resulted in Android for Work (which has been described in detail in an earlier blog post). EMM had been a well-recognized weakness that Android had, especially with respect to security and privacy of data. Before Lollipop, Google had included almost nothing in the base operating system.
The container model, which lets users separate work and personal environments on the device, is perhaps the most significant capability that Android for Work offers. 'Managed profiles' is the name Google has given it. Data and apps in one managed profile are not accessible in the other. You can use third party MDM/EMM systems to manage the profiles.
Comes with SELinux, a new, more secure version of Linux OS
All Android versions are based on Linux. Lollipop has been built on SELinux, which is a variant much more secure than others. SELinux offers much more fine-grained and sophisticated access control over files and processes than conventional Linux or as compared to traditional UNIX permissions. The permissions can't be changed when processes run in user mode. Privilege escalation attack potential is reduced greatly in this manner.
As against devices running older Android versions, it is much more difficult for malicious software to take hold of a system on Lollipop or to do anything substantial with it.
Default encryption makes it hard to crack
Android 5.0 by default provides strong encryption for user storage. This is in line with what iOS 8 provides, despite protests by several governments in this regard and appeals against it in the name of national security.
The encryption will be automatically turned on in new Lollipop devices. Those who upgrade their devices to Lollipop will have to initiate the encryption on their own.
So, enterprises have already been able to encrypt their devices, but Lollipop will make it easier for them and nevertheless increase the encrypted percentage of the devices.
Urgent updates for security now delivered regardless of ISPs
Google has traditionally depended upon the carriers to provide updates for the Android operating system. However, they have not proved to be very reliable. So, Google has decided to take away some of the responsibility from them with the Lollipop version.
Google Play Services now has a 'dynamic security provider'. It can deliver security updates that are urgent to devices as soon as the security issues are resolved.
It's a big plus for security as far as Lollipop is concerned that critical updates can now be rushed out without waiting for carriers. However, it's still not clear if carriers can be bypassed for delivering major updates also.
Smart Lock feature provides additional security
The feature makes it easier to use a locked device. You don't have to repeatedly enter a code to unlock a device if you pair it with an Android Auto, Android Wear or other Bluetooth or NFC device. You just have to bring both devices close enough to each other to unlock.
Google has also improved on Android's Face Unlock through Smart Lock. Whereas Face Unlock statically checks the user's face during login, Smart Lock checks it continually. When the device can't see the user, it gets locked.
Lollipop lets a user wipe a device remotely, if it is stolen, and a thief can't factory reset a device running Lollipop.
Screen Pinning allows use of device for single function
A user or organization can lock a device to a single app through screen pinning. The Back and Home buttons don't work and the enterprises can loan out or assign the devices to users who require a single function.
Generally, the function is a kiosk, such as those required in a hotel lobby or to help customers in a retail store or to provide electronic menus and ordering help at restaurants. There are other uses such as test-taking as well.
However, the app requires authorization from a device owner app and requires a MDM/EMM client.
Device sharing made easier through multi-user mode and guest mode
Android Lollipop has a multi-user mode that lets users sign into any device running the Lollipop version, using their own credentials. There also is a guest mode that lets a second person use the phone in a way wherein data and features are secure and 'locked down'.
Android 5.0 Lollipop has some added features which make it more secure than earlier versions and, therefore, more suitable for the enterprise than any other Android version.
How has your experience with Android Lollipop been? Are you part of an enterprise where a number of employees use devices that run Lollipop? Please share with us in the comments section below.

So, I see that a lot of liberal media types (and a few vengeful Republicans) have their undies in a bundle over the latest Sarah Palin ethics probe.
Apparently, some people are upset because she set up a legal defense fund to help pay her $500,000 in legal fees she has accumulated in defending herself against dozens of other ethical complaints, all of which have been politically motivated and frivolous.
So basically, all her enemies file all these complaints against her, and now they say she can't ask for donations to pay for the fees associated with defending against them. I think their goal is to bankrupt her.
The basis of the complaint is that she is using her public position to get donations for this legal defense fund.
Forgive me for pointing out the obvious, but she wouldn't need a legal defense fund if it weren't for her public position. So is it really fair to deny her the ability to defend herself?
The other thing that I find to be interesting is that this investigation found that there was "probable cause" to believe that there "may" have been an ethical violation. Not exactly a final conclusion of absolute wrongdoing.
I also find it interesting that the person who filed this complaint, Kim Chatman, is no stranger to legally harassing Sarah Palin. Chatman is also a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit filed against Sarah Palin for Palin's failing to issue a 2007 Juneteenth Proclamation. While that might be an oversight (Palin said it was an inadvertent oversight), that's hardly a reason for a federal lawsuit. But this woman apparently has an ax to grind.
Sarah Palin certainly has her faults, but those faults generally consist of not dealing well with the media, not ethics problems. Why anyone is taking this seriously is beyond me.
By the way, Bill Clinton had a pretty significant legal defense fund (or two), and I don't remember anyone making a stink about that. But he was a man… and a Democrat… so I guess that makes it okay for him.
And once again, Sarah Palin is treated differently.

Suzanne Smiley recently chatted with Julia Deets, VP of Marketing and Sales at Metalcraft. Julia was kind enough to join us for a few minutes and talk about her company. We discuss the focus and specialties of Metalcraft and learn why listening to your customers is more than just good customer service.
Metalcraft focuses on identification solutions and employs a wide range of technologies including bar code labels and RFID tags. Their focus on identification labeling has been a core tenant of Metalcraft, so much so that it is intertwined in the story of their foundation. Bostich Stapler Company had a run of staplers come off the production line with incorrect labels, and turned to Metalcraft for a solution. Metalcraft created adhesive name plates with the customer's name for Bostich, and Metalcraft hasn't looked back since.

Writing camp continued today, and we added in a little game to mix it up a bit. I have noticed throughout the week that combining simple sentences is still something that my students are struggling with, so in comes the practice!
I started by di-cutting 12 of the same shape out. This set is all pumpkins. Why I chose pumpkins I cannot tell you, but it seemed to fit the bill at the moment. Each shape then gets two related sentences written on it.
For example: I have a red car. My car is a Miata.
Then, I cut the shape into two pieces with a jagged line a la puzzle piece and mixed up all the pieces together.
To play each student gets a piece with a sentence on it. They must first find their partner sentence, then rewrite the two sentences into one combined sentence and share it with the class.
Matched up pieces.
Combined sentence
My whole class loved this game because they got to get up, talk with their friends, and then share their work. What more could a fourth grader ask for in an assignment? I LOVED hearing how they combined their sentences and explanations as to why they chose to do it that way. Some partners even combined them in several different ways. That makes for one happy teacher!
Tomorrow's day at camp is all about celebrating our accomplishments!

This could even be counted on if I had to restart my phone. Now, since updating to Froyo, the player will only keep its place for a short time - maybe a few minutes.

Water, clean from the mountains, drains into the Pacific. The father watches the boy build a castle in the river-mouth sand. The boy is focused on his creation. The father offers stern guidance on structural integrity.
"It's listing to the side," he warns.
The boy says he doesn't care if it's "lisping." It's his castle and he'll build it his way.
When he tips the next bucket of sand, the castle collapses. The boy glances up, wide-eyed, crushed. The father considers soothing or scolding or reiterating the engineering properties of sand. But he just studies the boy in silence.
Waves pound against the rocks. The river meanders into the sea, September low.
The boy frowns, grabs the bucket, and starts building again with the same stubborn technique, ignoring all previous advice.
The father nods and smiles. Excellent, he thinks.

Jenneth is over her hx4705!
Mobile phones used to be my favourite gadget. Even a year after I got my first iPAQ (the 3970), I still loved mobile phones more. But now that I've got the iPAQ hx4705, how could my iPAQ not be my favourite gadget! The hx4705 is so beautiful!
Given this, I was distressed to read that Jenneth has recently ditched her hx4705 in favour of a Dell Axim x50v! I know that Jenneth has dabbled with other PDAs before, but as far as I can tell, she's always been an iPAQ girl at heart.
I'm not quite sure how to deal with all this! :o

Too Slow!
Walter Dean Myers is a wonderful writer. His use of dialogue to propel the story forward is great. Peter Francis James, however, is not compelling, nor does he capture the listener's attention. He reads the book so slowly that you're just waiting for the next line.
Scorpions is similar in genre to The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton in that it's about a boy who finds himself in a situation for which he is not prepared.
Again, the pacing was slow and the intonation was monotonous. I was using the recording with my 8th grade English class and we ended up reading it as a play to liven it up. We only listened to about half of the book.
Maybe; the story is a bit dated.
- Marci
Excellent Story - Narration very slow.
Great storyline especially if you are from New York City.
It gave a good view of what the characters were like and what the main character was going through without being too "over the top" with the graphics and language. There was just enough action to keep young people interested in the story.
The Narrator performed all of the characters well. I just wish he could have increased his pace when reading. It seemed very slow and dragged out.
Yes. I didn't expect anyone to actually die in the story!

In 1961 Gucci launched the handbag that we now know as the Jackie O. Fabricated with luxury skins, the handbag combined a haute hippie vibe with classic tote styling. Mrs. Onassis loved the bag so much that she often wore it to official appearances and the public fell in love with it too. So much so, that the style became synonymous with the brand itself. So this year, Gucci decided to to revamp an old classic with their "New Jackie" collection for Fall 2009. Not better than the OG, just different. A new luxury for the new millineum. Mrs. O would be proud.
*Gucci Fall 2009 brown ostritch Jackie O bag with gold hardware, adjustable strap and gold bamboo push lock closure. New Without Tags. Originally retailed for $9900 and priced at $5500.

On June 15, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi will meet with President Obama in Washington, D.C., for the first time. This meeting offers an opportunity to move forward the important relationship between the U.S. and Italy in several vital areas in advance of the G-8 summit that Italy will host on July 8-10. Obama should publicly thank Berlusconi for Italy's continued and recently expanded support of the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan while encouraging Italy to expand its reconstruction efforts and end the national caveats that restrict the operational use of Italian troops.
As a leading member of NATO and the EU, and as a Mediterranean state, Italy has a significant strategic interest in the Middle East. Italy currently commands the UNIFIL II force in Lebanon. The President should urge Rome to build on Hezbollah's loss of the Lebanese elections by supporting the democratically elected government and promoting Hezbollah's disarmament. President Obama should also press the prime minister to curtail trading ties between Italy and Iran, which help to finance Iran's nuclear program, and allay Berlusconi's recently expressed suspicions about NATO's missile defense program.
Italy has been an important supporter of the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan. In February, the Italian government announced that, in response to President Obama's request, it would increase the size of its deployment in Afghanistan, which is centered in the western province of Herat. The Italian contingent has since grown from 2,000 to almost 2,800 troops. Italy has also agreed to deploy an additional 500 troops to provide security during the August presidential elections.[1]
Just as significant is Rome's readiness to consider reducing the limits it has imposed on the use of its forces. These national caveats have restricted most European forces to the safer northern region of Afghanistan and left U.S., British, Canadian, and Dutch forces to do most of the fighting in the south. Italy has stated that, if other European states make similar concessions, it is willing to address the issue of the caveats.[2]
Finally, Italy is an important contributor to Afghanistan's reconstruction. It has taken a leading role in training Afghanistan's police forces, a vital mission for which Italy, with its renowned Carabinieri--or military police force--is well-suited. At the NATO summit in Strasbourg, Prime Minister Berlusconi announced a "Carabinieri surge" that will take the size of the Italian contingent to 100. Italy has wisely resisted a French suggestion to create a role in Afghanistan for the European Gendarmerie Force and has expressed a preference for continuing to work within the U.S. training command.[3]
The President should publicly thank Italy for its contributions and sacrifices in both Afghanistan and Iraq--where 33 Italian soldiers were killed in the line of duty--and, privately, encourage Prime Minister Berlusconi not only to end Italian national caveats but to press the other European members of NATO to do the same so as to leave operational decisions to commanders in Afghanistan.[4]
U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006) of August 11, 2006, authorized the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon--known as UNIFIL II--to accompany and support the Lebanese armed forces as they deploy through southern Lebanon and to assist these forces "in taking steps toward the establishment ... of an area free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons other than those of the Government of Lebanon and of UNIFIL deployed in the area."[5] In plain language, the resolution seeks the disarmament of Hezbollah and the establishment of Lebanese authority over southern Lebanon by the Lebanese army with the aid of the UNIFIL II force, which is currently led by Italy.
This force has not fulfilled its mission. The defeat of the Hezbollah-led coalition in the Lebanese parliamentary elections offers an opportunity for progress that Italy, with backing from the U.S. and other democracies, should take the lead in grasping.[6] Italy should urge the Lebanese government to authorize disarmament of Hezbollah and thereby allow UNIFIL II to enforce Resolution 1701. Italy should also press the E.U. to add Hezbollah to its list of terrorist organizations.[7]
While Italy has played a constructive role in Lebanon, its approach to Iran has been less helpful. Italy has argued that the West needs to "re-engage [with Iran] over Afghanistan and Pakistan" so that Iran "may feel more motivated to interact constructively with the international community on the nuclear issue."[8] This assertion is an attempt to justify the fact that Italy has important trading ties with Iran and is crucial to Iran's exploration for and export of petroleum products. In 2008, Italy's trade with Iran was valued at 6.1 billion Euros, up from 3.85 billion Euros in 2003, an increase that has made Italy the EU's top trading partner with Iran.[9]
Italy's reluctance to oppose Iran may also explain the prime minister's description of the deployment of a missile defense system in Eastern Europe as a "provocation" of Russia.[10] In reality, the "third site" installations in Poland and the Czech Republic--and the broader missile defense program of which they are an essential part--were unanimously endorsed by NATO at its Bucharest summit in April 2008. As NATO recognized, the missile defense system is intended to protect its members against the rapidly advancing Iranian nuclear threat.[11]
In his meeting with Berlusconi, the President should emphasize that, as he has stated, the U.S. supports "the full implementation of all United Nations Security Council resolutions" on Iran.[12] The U.S. and Italy must cooperate to achieve this goal. Obama should assure Rome that, if it acts, it will have American diplomatic support at the U.N. and in the Middle East. The President should also emphasize that Italian investment in Iran is strengthening the Iranian economy and thereby subsidizing the Iranian nuclear program, its military buildup, its support for terrorism, and its efforts to destabilize the region. Finally, the President should encourage Italy to desist from investing in Iran and reaffirm its previous commitment to support third site missile defense.
Reaffirming U.S.-Italian Cooperation
In recent months, Italian commentators have expressed a sense that ties between the U.S. and Italy have waned since the Cold War and have worried that Italy has not been able to communicate its importance to the U.S.[13] The meeting between President Obama and Prime Minister Berlusconi offers an opportunity for both nations to reaffirm these ties, which stem from Italian emigration to the U.S., the Anglo-American liberation of Italy in the Second World War, and the U.S. support for democratic government in Italy during the Cold War.
U.S.-Italian relations remain important today. In areas such as Afghanistan, where Italian policy is based on the values that underlie that cooperation, the President should thank Italy and express the appreciation of all Americans. In areas such as Iran, where Italian policy has been less constructive, the President should encourage the Prime Minister to reflect how Italian investment in the Iranian economy is indirectly funding the extremely dangerous Iranian nuclear program.
The U.S.-Italian relationship will continue to thrive only if it based, as it has been in the past, on a clear vision, held by both countries, of the importance of cooperative action against the enemies of their shared values.

Minority Children Share Improvements in Child Well-Being
May 7, 2004
Today, American children are doing better than ever, largely due to lower violent crime victimization and offender rates, lower teenage birth rates, and greater material wealth. According to the Foundation for Child Development (FCD) and its index of child well-being, not only has progress been made, but all ethnic groups studied are sharing in this improvement.
The FCD index of child well-being incorporates 7 national indicators: material well-being, social relationships, health, behavioral concerns, education achievement, place in community, and spiritual well-being. The index estimates the welfare of children by comparing results with those in 1975, the base year. The major results for 2003 were as follows:
- The overall well-being of children was rated as 105 as compared to 100 in 1975.
- After reaching their lowest point in 1992-1993, minorities have made significant gains over the last decade.
- Black and Hispanic children have equaled or surpassed the overall well being of white children since 1997.
However, not all indices were positive. For instance, there has been a systematic decrease in the health of children over the past three decades solely due to the rise in childhood obesity. The rate of obesity has increased every year since 1975. Today, the health index for children is less than 85 percent of the base year.
In addition, the number of children of families headed by a single parent remains high, as reflected under the social relationships indicator. The trend over the last 20 years has been unfortunate. Since 1984, the social relationships indicator has fallen to less than 80 percent the level in 1975.

ATLANTA - The popularity of early voting has prompted Georgia's Election Board to enact new rules that bar campaigning near polls during the five-day advance voting period.

Officials with the secretary of state's office said they received complaints from a few counties during the July primaries that some candidates were campaigning too close to early voting sites.
Campaigning within 150 feet of a polling place on Election Day is illegal in Georgia. But the law does not address advance voting, which allows people to vote during the five-day workweek before an election.
The new rule was passed on an emergency basis earlier this month. Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox's office will probably try get the rule codified in state law during the legislative session that begins in January, said Chris Riggall, a spokesman for Cox, who chairs the state Election Board.
But officials say prohibiting campaigning during advance voting is trickier than on Election Day, since most early voting takes place at county courthouses where a steady stream of people and politicians routinely come and go for a variety of reasons.
"A courthouse or government annex is often a multipurpose facility," Riggall said.
The rule is designed to prohibit "very blatant, open, unquestioned campaign activity," he said.
For example, an elected official who stops to shake hands with constituents on the way to his office in a county government building may not be in violation of the rule, Riggall said. But a candidate who asks someone for their vote during that five-day period may be in violation.
Sharon Wingfield, Cobb County's director of elections, said the new rules should give her the power to prohibit such activity during the next advance voting period, which runs from Oct. 25 to Oct. 29.
"We had campaign signs all around our building there," Wingfield said. "We had vehicles parked with candidates' names on them, and a lot of voters did complain and we had no jurisdiction at that time."
Advance voting was first used in local elections in 2003. During the July primaries more than 76,000 Georgians voted early.
Those numbers are expected to grow in the November general election.

The Made in Italy Business Directory
In the heart of Valpolicella, in the Veneto region, where the gentle hills enchant the eye, while the intense scent of the vineyards of Amarone seeps ever more intense through the air, the Boscaini family relaunches family traditions with roots deep in past that taste of fine wine and simplicity. This is what makes Masi Agricola a much appreciated company, especially abroad.
We have asked Raffaele Boscaini, the company's marketing director, what is the secret to growth without losing the "identity" and which are the markets where, in the future, the company still has room to conquer new market shares.
Mr Boscaini, what are your key strengths? The main one is undoubtedly that we are a family business, well-rooted in the region. The development of expertise in the grape drying technique was essential to the achievement of significant results (in 2012 a turnover of 70 million), which has enabled us to become a leader in the production of Amarone, as well as to differentiate our business by offering other products. Last but not least, in terms of internal organisation, it has been very useful to have chosen not to rely on one enologist for the production of wine, but rather on a team, the Masi Technical Group, which is pursuing the company's values.
You are present in 90 countries around the world: could you tell us which ones are you are more "rooted" in? Our presence is widespread on a worldwide level (in fact, exports account for 92% of our turnover), but I would say that the countries where our presence is strongest are Canada and Northern European countries.
What is your goal for the future? I would say without doubt that the key objective is to have a greater impact on the Italian market, where it is not easy to emerge at this moment but we have to try, as well as try to improve our position in the United States, that, contrary to what one might believe, represent our fourth or fifth market. I believe we will succeed, as we have chosen a specialist importer operating in the restaurant business which matches our requirements.
What do you think of the opportunities offered by the so-called emerging markets, such as China? We are of course very interested in the Chinese market, but personally, I would not invest a great deal in the future on this market. Let me explain why. I believe that the Chinese, similarly to us Europeans, not knowing our reality well, tend to use stereotypes. For them Italy is the symbol of lifestyle, they particularly appreciate fashion, while the word "wine" evokes France in their minds. Furthermore: the Chinese are planting many vineyards and it is estimated that they will become the largest wine producers by 2025, and I think that at that point we will start consuming their products.

Fun black and white project based on the traditional log cabin blocks with red centers.
Love the borders and red trim on your wonky log cabin. They really set the beautiful blocks off. Another great quilt in your collection! Marlene
Grrr-reat Quilt, Max...both the front and back!!
Max, I don't know which I like better. The front or the back. I would love a quilt with lots of those spirals/ribbons on it.
Great job, Max! Wonderful how you echoed the spiral on the back. It adds an interesting "twist" to the front, as well.
I really like how you did you borders Max.
Im gonna tell everyone mine is a "wonky" log cabin which will account for my irregular seams!! LOL. Looks really awesome!
Max, this is great!!!!! Another great mod

Milwaukee® Introduces Long Tapes with Industry's First Blade Cleaning System
MILWAUKEE, WI- Milwaukee Tool continues to rapidly expand their Layout and Measurement offering with the introduction of Open-Reel and Closed-Reel Long Tapes. Designed from the ground-up to address common user frustrations with long tapes currently available on the market, the new Milwaukee Long Tapes provide ultimate durability and accuracy.
"One of the most frequent concerns with today's long tapes is their tendency to jam during use due to debris on the blade being taken up into the mechanism. This causes long tapes to fail prematurely, which contributes to downtime on the jobsite," said Brandon Miller, Group Marketing Manager for Milwaukee Tool. "Our industry-first, patent-pending blade cleaning system features a wiper that keeps dirt, mud, and other jobsite contaminants out of the housing and internal components of the long tape as its reeled in – providing a much longer life for the tool."
To survive the demands of the jobsite, both 100ft and 300ft Open Reel Long Tapes include reinforced metal handles and a 3:1 planetary metal gear system that distributes force evenly, and puts less stress on internal components to prolong life. Exclusive to the Open Reel Long Tapes is a proprietary blade manufacturing process that combines a steel blade with extruded nylon coating. This design provides 50% less stretch for best-in-class accuracy and blade durability resulting in up to 10X longer blade life. The 100ft Closed Reel Long Tape is constructed of a durable metal frame housing to help protect the tool from drops.
Available in November 2016, the new measuring wheels confirm Milwaukee's unrelenting commitment to providing solutions that solve key industry frustrations, while increasing jobsite productivity.
Open Reel Long Tape Options
100ft Open Reel Long Tape 48-22-5201
300ft Open Reel Long Tape 48-22-5230

New russet potato variety could be big for Red River Valley
FARGO - Will a newly discovered russet potato variety make the Red River Valley a yield contender with the vaunted Pacific Northwest?
Carl Hoverson of Larimore, N.D., thinks so. As one of the key growers for the J. R. Simplot Co. potato processing plant in Grand Forks, he should know.
Hoverson Farms hosts test plots that include trials by Asunta "Susie" Thompson, a potato breeder at North Dakota State University in Fargo. This year, one of Thompson's new crosses, a variety called 4405-1 Russet, had an incredible yield of 777 hundredweights per acre. That's more than twice the average yield of russets in the state the past decade, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics. Most russets in the state are raised under irrigation for the French fry market.
Hoverson was so impressed he put out his own press release.
"There were about nine very nice, uniformly shaped (potatoes under each hill) with light russeting tubers under each plant," Hoverson says.
Each of the potatoes weighed about a pound.
The big news was that the clone was planted late, on May 24. Still, it bulked up by the harvest date of Sept. 17. Other Russet Burbank varieties in the same row were yielding 300 bags.
Hoverson says the selection has to go through many tests for processing quality, including solids, but the signs look good.
"It typically takes 400 (per hundredweight) of potatoes per acre on irrigation in North Dakota and Minnesota to cover input costs, so this would be great news for our potato farmers," Hoverson says.
"If this variety does all of the qualities the processing industry wants," it will rival the major potato producing areas of the Pacific Northwest, Hoverson says. The Red River Valley could again become the major supplier of potatoes in the United States and world markets, he says.
"Lower costs per acre combined with impressive yields will make the Red River Valley a powerhouse in potato production," he said.
The Northern Plains Potato Growers Association thanked Thompson and her crew at NDSU for a "job well done."
"It's very early of course in that clone stage, but we do have other beautiful dual-purpose russets in our pipeline," Thompson says. "In fact, one hopefully to be released this fall or winter that has excellent yield potential."
She says one in trials at Inkster, N.D., and harvested Sept. 26 had a yield of 522 hundredweights per acre on a short dry season. It was planted on June 2.
Hoverson says he has already decided to invest several thousand dollars in the breeding effort.

The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas (Templar Publishing)
Posted by ReadItDaddy at 10:00 AM Labels: Anna Llenas, Children's Picture Book, Hardcover, Templar Publishing, The Colour Monster
The movie "Inside Out" was a game changer for both children and adults. Examining in fine (and quite often raw) detail the emotions we feel on a daily basis, the movie was an outstanding success and to some extent has changed the acceptance by kids of what their emotions mean.
Definitely no bad thing then that Anna Llenas' book "The Colour Monster" takes things a step further, introducing colour to help younger children understand their own emotional states.
Colour Monster is - to quote his little friend - all over the place. Like a crazy chaotic multi-hued rainbow, Colour Monster can't quite settle on just one colour.
The little girl is very quick to point out what's going on. The poor little guy is an emotional wreck!
|Yep I'm all over the place too, I'm typing this on a monday morning before coffee!
|Yikes. Let's hope mum can clean that up easily...!
|Wowsers - No wonder Monster is confused!
Charlotte's favourite bit: Loved-up monster and his wonderful pink hearts
Daddy's favourite bit: A cute and acute observation of emotions delicately and deliciously designed for young readers.

ALTON — A woman reportedly admitted she played $55 in a slot machine for 30 to 35 minutes last weekend while leaving her baby alone in her car in the Riverfront Park lot.
The mother initially told police she only briefly had gone inside Argosy Casino to get her brother. She said she had tired of waiting two hours for him to come back to her car so they could leave, a newly released Alton police incident report says. She told police her brother does not have a cellphone, so she could not call him, the report says.
As first reported in The Telegraph, mother Timeka Coleman-Jones, 28, of St. Ann, Mo., is facing a misdemeanor charge of child abandonment, according to Madison County Court records. Police initially applied for a charge of endangering the health and welfare of a child.
She has a bond of $1,500.
The baby is in protective custody of Missouri Department of Social Services' Children's Division, which is conducting an investigation, because the mother and child reside in that state.
Four days later, one of the four people who noticed the crying baby girl Sunday said she still cannot believe she discovered an infant alone in a car, despite having worked as a paramedic and police officer.
"I could not believe this happened, that we witnessed it," said Tanisha D. Ross, 42, of St. Louis. "Many things could have happened to that child. Someone could break into the car. You leave your child in a car to go gambling? I just don't want to think about what could have happened. So many people want children but can't have them, then so many people have children but don't deserve them."
Ross is nursing a large bruise on her arm from squeezing it through the small space where a rear window of the car was down. "It was all worth it," she said.
Ross was able to unlock the door and remove the screaming baby from her carseat. "She was crying and soaking wet, and I changed her (diaper)," Ross said. "There was a baby bag in the back of the car with diapers, formula and a pacifier. I just tried to comfort her."
Ross, the mother of a grown daughter and grandmother of two boys, still had the motherly touch. "She calmed down," Ross said of the baby.
Ross said the mother eventually walked out of the casino to the car.
"She walked out nonchalantly," Ross said, and said she only was in the casino a few minutes looking for her brother before admitting she had gambled. "I held that baby for 10 or 15 minutes and she didn't ask me for her. I would have gotten my child right away, but I wouldn't have left her in a car" in the first place.
Ross said Coleman-Jones gave conflicting amounts of time she had been at the parking lot, and then inside the casino. People on site reminded her that her actions were taped and the times recorded, Ross said.
The new details are in a police incident report the Alton Police Department released Wednesday. When a reporter called Monday, the report still was incomplete. The full report now says Coleman-Jones' child is a girl, not a boy, contrary to initial information. The baby was born April 4, making her nearly six months old at time of Sunday's incident, which a witness had surmised.
Ross and her boyfriend were walking to the casino when they heard the baby crying, then saw her strapped in her carseat in the back of a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze sedan, in the large, city-owned parking lot. Within a minute or two, Bill and Sharon Swinney of New Baden, Ill., said they had left Argosy Casino and joined Ross and her boyfriend by the car with the crying child.
The Swinneys said all four of the people were upset at seeing the wailing baby, left all by herself.
Ross' boyfriend then left to contact Argosy security to have the car owner paged, and someone called 911 at 5:17 p.m. The police report confirms Ross "retrieved" the baby from the car seat to "assess her health and to comfort her."
Coleman-Jones subsequently came back to the car, with police taking her and the baby to the Donald E. Sandidge Alton Law Enforcement Center, 1700 E. Broadway. They took the baby into protective custody.
Police obtained a DVD of images taken by a security camera, and had the car towed. The report says nothing about authorities locating Coleman-Jones' brother, who she had claimed was at the casino. Police said previously that no one other than Coleman-Jones was arrested in the incident.

David McCandless: The beauty of data visualization

About the speaker:David McCandless - Data journalist
David McCandless draws beautiful conclusions from complex datasets -- thus revealing unexpected insights into our world.
Why you should listen
David McCandless makes infographics -- simple, elegant ways to see information that might be too complex or too big, small, abstract or scattered to otherwise be grasped. In his new book, Information Is Beautiful (in the US, it's being called The Visual Miscellaneum), McCandless and his cadre of info designers take a spin through the world of visualized data, from hard stats on politics and climate to daffy but no less important trends in pop music.
McCandless' genius is not so much in finding jazzy new ways to show data -- the actual graphics aren't the real innovation here -- as in finding fresh ways to combine datasets to let them ping and prod each other. Reporting the number of drug deaths in the UK every year is interesting; but mapping that data onto the number of drug deaths reported by the UK press, broken down by drug, is utterly fascinating (more deaths by marijuana were reported than in fact occurred, by a factor of 484%). McCandless contributes a monthly big-think graphic to the Guardian's Data Blog, and makes viral graphics for his blog Information Is Beautiful.

.- Catholics in Costa Rica continue to express disgust following the actions of Deborah Formal, the girlfriend of presidential candidate Otto Guevara. Last Sunday, Formal broke off a piece of the Eucharist and placed it in her boyfriend's pocket.
The Costa Rican media has continued to air footage of the Mass which shows Formal receiving Communion, bringing a piece of it back to her seat, and giving it to Guevara.
Being divorced, Guevara did not present himself for Communion.
The video shows that as she approached the archbishop to receive Communion, the two briefly exchanged words. Formal said later she had requested permission from the archbishop to "share the blessing" of Communion with Guevara. She said she misunderstood the archbishop and thought that he had given her permission.
"It was never my intention to disrespect the Catholic Church," she said.
Formal is seen receiving Communion in the hand, consuming a portion and carrying what was left back to her pew, where she leaned over and put it into Guevara's shirt pocket.
"I tried to do something that would allow Otto to carry a part of God in his heart," Formal explained.
After priests were notified of Formal's actions, they asked the presidential candidate to return the consecrated host. He returned it and it was immediately consumed by one of the concelebrating priests.
Numerous Catholics interviewed by the media expressed outrage over the actions of Formal, saying she displayed not only ignorance in describing the consecrated host as a "blessing" instead of as the Real Presence of Christ, but also complete disrespect for Communion and for the Eucharistic Host.
Archbishop Hugo Barrantes of San Jose called her actions "inappropriate and disrespectful," although not sacrilegious.

Hello there... Happy Friday...
I took the girls to school this morning and hit a few
of the city-wide yard sales.
I am funny about yard sales, I have to be in the right mood.
This morning it was in the low 60s and I could not resist.
I had carefully read the adds and went off looking for vintage stuff.
My first score it this very large McCoy pottery piece.
It is larger than it appears, 8 inches tall by 10 inches wide.
I got it for 50 cents... yes, it has a few chips...
but it is worth much more than that.
This is a weird find, even for me.
It looks like a flour sack.
Even with the frayed edges.
I love the primitive look, even though I am getting away from it a bit.
But I had never seen anything like it and for 50 cents I brought it home.
It would look good for patriotic holidays or maybe even framed.
Definitely statement piece material.
I bought more lace than just this... but here are a few sweet pieces.
I love runners and buy almost all I see if they are reasonable.
$2 for all of this.
Okay, I hope you like this as much as I do.
It is hand made in a lovely linen.
The same pattern on each end... with the initial H.
With me loving burlap and having so much this would match I will use it.
I just have to figure out where to put it first.
Table scarves are another favorite of mine.
Anything with pink and aqua is calling my name.
This one has frayed edges too.
Such beautiful details and so much work!
All of these were under a dollar each.
I fell in instant love with this one as soon as I saw it.
Scalloped edges and vintage graphics are so me,
especially for 50 cents.
These three frames are in perfect shape.
I have been replacing dated frames with even older ones!
But I love the real ones so much better at a dollar each.
Okay, maybe this takes you instantly back to 1990.
But I love the cottage style and got 6 of these toppers for $2,
If I end up doing a show or event they will look great on the tables.
I could not buy fabric for that..... and it looks very Rachel Aswell to me.
This little vintage style star will look great on the lace tree in a few weeks. (.50)
Much more lace for all the sewing project I will never get done this winter. ($1)
I saved the best or worst for last!
A denim boho bag... handmade.
I got it for $1 and I could not stop looking at it.
So I bought it.
It is funky and weird and if I saw someone else carrying it...
I would love it.
Maybe it is not for every day... but when I go to Vintage Events it will fit right in.
Plus it is super comfy to wear and my big camera and lens would fit in it!
So all and all... lots for great stuff for under $20.
I did not buy any clothes, but I did buy two big bags of paperbacks for the winter.
At a quarter each I can't go wrong.
When I tell you I thrift on the cheap... I mean it.
It is okay if things look worn and have a nick or two.
They fit right in at my house!

Alyssa was nominated for the Sisterhood of the World Blogging Award and generally tagged all of Blogland for participation. As she said, who doesn't love a good survey? I know I do so here are my responses!
1) What is the most frightening / most exhilarating thing you've ever done?
To date, the most frightening thing I've done was probably when I just picked up and moved to NJ. It was on a whim after coming down to visit a now ex for the weekend. I went into Nordstrom and applied in their Salon Shoes department and was hired on spot. I moved 2 weeks later.
2) If you could meet anyone (dead or alive) who would it be?
This question always stumps me. There are so many amazing people both alive and deceased that I'd love to just sit and talk to. I'm cheating and naming a few: Judy Garland; Audrey Hepburn; Clark Gable; Michael Michelle {obviously we need to discuss our shared name}; and George Carlin.
3) If you could be on a reality TV show, which one would it be?!
When I was younger I always wanted to be on The Real World. How fun/crazy would that have been!? At this point, I seriously hate reality TV. Occasionally I'll get sucked into something exceptionally bad {My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding anyone?} but more often than not, it's not my thing.
4) If you could travel to one place (money not an issue) where would it be?
Does everywhere constitute as a place? My travel wish list is so long there's no way I'd be able to see all my places in any meaningful manner in one lifetime. One of the places that I'm interested in seeing that's not a "typical" choice is the Czech Republic. Granted photos can be enhanced but the city of Prague looks beautiful. Plus, the Sedlec Ossuary is there. That's been on my wish list since my 2002.
5) Tex-Mex or Chinese food?!
Tex-Mex all day errryday. As Jim Gaffigan says, ""I'm convinced that anyone who doesn't like Mexican food is a psychopath."
6) Would you rather wash dirty dishes or do the laundry, including the ironing?
Believe it or not I would rather do laundry for days than have to wash one dish. I loathe washing dishes. It dries out my hands so I wear rubber gloves; it's tedious {didn't I just wash these yesterday?}, and it's time I could be doing something else. At least when I'm doing laundry I throw it in and can do something else for 25+ minutes. And the folding? Not so bad. I'm one of those freaks that can fold a fitted sheet and make it look normal.
7) What's your most embarrassing childhood memory?
Ha! I'm clearly in a good mood because I'm actually going to share this. So there I am in my 3rd grade class. This week the room is in a horseshoe shape. I have no idea why that's relevant, but I remember the detail. The problem: I had to fart. Fast forward and of course a fellow classmate called me out on it amongst our little corner. I tried to play it off as if I was just making mouth sounds. You know, when you puff out your cheeks? I'm pretty sure no one believed me.
8) Are you a hot or cold weather person?
My personal motto, Mo' hotta, mo' betta! I livefor summer. Don't get me wrong, I like the chill of fall and feet of snow, but summer was my first love affair.
9) What are you deathly afraid of?
I actually don't have any fears. Not in the sense that people have phobias of spiders, snakes, heights, etc. I just don't. What I ammost afraid of is failure. And really, I think that's more self-imposed. Who says what makes me a failure other than me? So I guess that makes me fearless :)
10) Would you rather watch movies at home or at the theatre?
Let's see… get dressed, spend money, be around people OR couch, pjs, wine? You tell me.
Happy Friday Kids!

CentOS 6.6 linuxbrew python no SSL module
I am having some problems with
linuxbrew python. Once I installed it,
pip and
import ssl failed.
I did some research and found this ImportError: No module named _ssl
also read github issue
But none of the solution worked.

when I run python and try to import SSL then I got the following error

import _ssl # if we can't import it, let the error propagate
ImportError: No module named _ssl
I tried reinstall openssl,
brew unlink python then
brew link python and followed the solution I found on above two articles and none of them worked for me.
I install
pyenv then use pyenv installed pythong 2.7.9 and did not have this problem.
The strange thing is I don't have this problem on another CentOS 6.6 I just could not figure out what is wrong.
Any ideas ?

text: Petroleum Geo-Services ASA (PGS) has announced that it has signed an agreement of main commercial terms to build a new third generation Ramform vessel at Aker Yards, Langsten, to be delivered in 2008. The agreement is subject to satisfactory completion of a final contract and board approval in Aker Yards. The new Ramform is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter 2008, in time for the North Sea season. PGS will also have an option of building a sister vessel at the same yard. Aker Yards has previously constructed all of the PGS' six current Ramform vessels, demonstrating a strong track record for timely and cost effective construction of this advanced design, according to the company. This is the first PGS new build since the delivery of Ramform Vanguard in 1999. The third generation Ramform is designed with a clear objective to further extend the PGS lead in 3D seismic acquisition productivity and efficiency. The design builds on the proven industry leading capabilities of the current Ramform fleet, while introducing several improvements. The vessel will be lengthened by approximately 16 meters, giving higher fuel capacity and transit speed. A substantial power upgrade will significantly increase speed while surveying. The vessel will be capable of towing up to 22 streamers. A range of technology improvements will be implemented to maintain or improve efficiency of handling, deployment, retrieval and maintenance of the in sea equipment.
