GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- An independent evaluation of an innovative approach to children's health care in west Michigan has found the program is succeeding in significantly reducing the number of expensive emergency room visits and hospital admissions while improving kids' health.
Children across American have fallen further behind in many of the leading indicators over the past year as the country slowly climbs out of the recession, according a new report by the Children's Defense Fund. The report provides key child data showing alarming numbers of youth at risk: children are the poorest age group with 15.5 million youth—one in every five children in America—living in poverty.
LANSING - Graduates of the state's preschool program are less likely to be held back a grade in school than children who don't attend preschool, according to an evaluation of the program.
The evaluation looked at data collected from a cohort of 596 children (338 graduates from the state's Great Start Readiness Program and 258 non- GSRP students) from six districts followed from kindergarten through 12th grade and from a sample of 865 children (384 GSRP and 481 non-GSRP) assessed in preschool or kindergarten.
What started as a front-porch potluck for friends more than 30 years ago has evolved into fund-raising garden parties this summer involving hundreds of early childhood advocates across the state. And children are the better for it.
Early childhood advocates are intrigued by a judge's ruling in a recent lawsuit that may lead to universal preschool in North Carolina.
Wake County Superior Court Judge Howard Manning Jr. issued an order Monday stating that the state cannot implement "any barrier or regulation that prevents eligible at-risk children from enrolling in the state's prekindergarten program, previously known as More at Four," according to the Charlotte, N.C., Observer. (Read the full story here.)
In his April address to the legislature on education reform, Gov. Rick Snyder confirmed the important role parents play as Michigan moves "toward an independent and successful future."
Advocates for early childhood believe, like the Governor, that it is essential to engage parents in the work of developing Michigan's early childhood system. That is why the Early Childhood Investment Corporation (ECIC) prioritizes parenting leadership as one of the key components of school readiness.
A new Pew Center on the States report makes a strong case for investments in quality preschool as a primary method of improving educational outcomes in America.
The Michigan Sandbox Party will play host to families and early childhood supporters at minor league professional baseball parks across the state throughout July.
Low birth weight, preterm birth complications, and learning difficulties, are just a few potential impacts untreated maternal depression can have on a child's development.
These facts are based on a recently released Zero to Three Research to Policy Project report on Maternal Depression and Early Childhood which also says that "untreated depression is estimated to cost society at a minimum $23,000 per year in terms of lost productivity for both mother and child and increased health care costs."

LANSING – Making good on his promise to refashion education in Michigan along a cradle to adulthood model, Gov. Rick Snyder today signed an executive order creating an Office of Great Start within the Department of Education.
"Let's Move! Child Care" - First Lady Michelle Obama's newest campaign urging child care providers to join the fight against childhood obesity - is welcome news in Michigan, where one in three children is considered overweight or obese.
NORTH CAROLINA - When the nation's largest conference devoted to early education systems and strategies was looking for the latest ideas and innovations in early childhood they hit the mother lode in Michigan.
LANSING –State Superintendent of Public Instruction Mike Flanagan has named Joan Blough, ECIC vice president of Great Start System Planning and Evaluation, to head up the transition team for a new Michigan Office of Great Start.
This weekend millions of families will celebrate Father's Day. Among other things, count on seeing bad neckties, macaroni pencil holders and cook-outs to celebrate. Whether Dad lives in the home or not, studies consistently show that fathers are more than just economic support. Being a father, an involved, caring father, matters.
LANSING - ECIC executive committee member Anne M. Mervenne had a commentary on early childhood published in the editorial pages of the Lansing State Journal Monday June 13 under the headline "State leads in early childhood efforts." To read, click "Read More."

I would like to thank Lancaster Motor Company for helping my grandfather and me with a business form we needed filled out.
A very friendly service manager took his time to look up vehicles and print the form for no charge.
They say nothing is free anymore, but this very kind man took his time to help us out. What he did for me helped us tremendously. I have had dealings with other dealerships in Lancaster and this dealership wins over them all. I would recommend dealing with them first. Thank you.

Updating Recurring Events
Hi…a couple questions.
Updated recurring events today, extending them through December 2018. Some of them are weekly.
Had the following issues:
1. Redirected to a 404 page when I hit update. Did a reload, and still displayed the 404. Then browser back. Nothing saved. Hit reload, nothing saved.
2. Disabled all plugins except Events Manager…hit update…..timed out, hit reload, still timed out, then browser back button to the edit screen..nothing saved.
-BUT…if I hit reload after browser back, the records updated in most cases (monthly events 55 records) , but for weekly events (155+ records) , it was hit or miss. Also ended up after retrying for the weekly events with 2-3 duplicates of each day.
3. When removing duplicates manually in admin, timed out. Went to mysql….and deleted the records from the em_event db…but then discovered that the records are also occurring in the regular posts db…
However, after deleting the records in the em_events db and then reactivating the recurring event record…it cleaned up the duplicates.
All very strange. Some of the events were created two years ago – so curious if these issues could be due to the records being created in a much earlier version of the plugin?
Also, could these time-out issues be due to the massive quantity of posts created for a weekly event ranging three years? Got my wp memory set at ('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M') and ('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M').
Finally, there is a view in admin for recurring events, but what about a view for non-recurring events? It's almost impossible to sift through 3000 plus events to find ones that are not recurring.
I did find a solution….I use Admin Columns Pro,an excellent plugin, and added a column for the custom field _recurrence_id, and made it sortable….and this allows for a descending sort from no records to the largest record number, putting all the events that are non-recurring at the top of the sort (or bottom if ur perverse<G>)
Getting ready to open event listings to members, and I am very concerned about Event Managers capability to handle a large quantity of event records….I'm looking at 50-100k event records.
Any thoughts?

Government to crack down on cold calling PPI firms
CLAIMS management firms that inundate the public with cold calls and text messages will face big fines from 2014, thanks to a change in the law announced this week.
Amendments to the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill, currently passing through Parliament, mean that firms who make unsolicited contact with people in order to obtain business could be fined heavily.
In an attempt to reduce the number of cold calls made on a daily basis, the amendment will make it illegal for claims management firms to obtain information in this manner, even if a claim turns out to be genuine.
Our full PPI guide is here
Reclaiming: the insider's guide
67% of people have received an unwanted call, text or letter connected with making a PPI reclaim in the last twelve months, according to a Citizens Advice poll from earlier this year.
Government cracks down
It is estimated that there are more than 1,000 claims management companies currently operating in the UK. All have the objective of encouraging the public to lodge complaints against their financial providers for mis-selling insurance products and, in particular, Payment Protection Insurance (PPI).
Claims management firms will still be permitted to contact potential claimants through advertising as long as they follow stringent guidelines set out by the Claims Management Regulator (CMR).
The new regulations, a joint initiative by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and the Treasury, are intended to crack down on so-called 'rogue firms' and firms that attract claimants with misleading information.
Companies that fail in their obligation to inform clients a claim can be lodged free of charge with the FOS or that take upfront payment to process a claim could also face heavy fines.
To strengthen the impact of the law change the MOJ are also introducing new rules of conduct for claims management companies this week.
The rules, to be enforced by the MOJ CMR unit, include companies agreeing to take responsibility to ensure any claim submitted has a realistic chance of success and to provide a full set of supporting evidence with every claim lodged.
Under the new rules claims companies will also be expected to audit their data gathering activities to prove claimants have not been obtained by cold calling or spam SMS.
The CMR has already taken steps to toughen up the regulations for claims management firms this year.
As it stands, claims firms must:
- not take fees for claims without having first obtained written consent from the claimant and
- share data with other firms and the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)
Customer protection paramount
"It is our absolute priority to protect customers and we are making certain that firms are following the rules," Kevin Rousell, head of the CMR unit, said.
"Issuing fines will be an important new weapon for us."
Justice Minister, Shailesh Vara, agreed that getting rogue companies that "are wasting everyone's time" shut down has to be a top priority.
"We will not tolerate companies that waste hardworking people's time and money through their own laziness, incompetence or frankly dubious practices," he said.
Unsubstantiated claims from rogue firms and misleading advertising, leading to more insubstantial claims, have been blamed for the current backlog in claims processing, causing delays to financial providers paying out legitimate compensation.
Fines would "help free up the banks to pay legitimate claims more quickly", Sajid Javid, financial secretary to the Treasury, said.
A burgeoning industry
Despite the Government's efforts to tighten up the process and falling claims, PPI claims are set to continue as big business for claims management companies.
Since the start of the mis-selling scandal in 2005 banks have paid out in excess of £10 billion of compensation to customers. It is believed that figure could double before claims begin to decline.
In addition, claims firms could start on newly worrying products like ROP, although mis-sold ID theft insurance from CPP looks set to get a claims-proof compensation process.
Although the total number of claims companies has dropped thanks to Government efforts to revoke trading licenses for dishonest firms it is likely that cold calling will continue despite the new regulations.
Not far enough: lead generation
Critics of the Government's plans state the new regulations don't go far enough to stop cold calling. They blame the 'lead generation' firms that sell potential leads to claims companies for the indiscriminate targeting of the public.
Critics believe that until they can be brought to heel the problem of cold calling will continue unabated.
So far all efforts to regulate lead generation firms have failed.
The watchdog responsible for the industry, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), are required by law to provide evidence that leads generated by lead generation companies have caused distress to members of the public.
To date no evidence brought against lead generation companies by the ICO has stood up in court.
The ICO are pushing for a change in the law to allow them to impose fines on lead generation companies for simply annoying the general public with pest calls.

Dainese Armoform Knee Guard
These pads by Italian brand Dainese are distinguished by an articulated knee joint that reduces the forces that usually cause a pad to slip or bunch during pedaling. The thigh and shin sections hinge relative to the kneecap, allowing the whole pad to move naturally. These pads aren't meant for long days in the saddle, though–while not especially heavy, they do use plastic plates for gravity-worthy protection. Elastic bands with silicone grippers and Velcro closures keep the Armoforms in place on both ends, while a power strap adds tension across the calf. $100 / dainese.com
Fox Transfer Seatpost
Fox has scrapped its original dropper–the D.O.S.S.–in favor of an all-new post. The hydraulic internals of the cable-actuated Transfer are built into the stanchion, so servicing won't be as simple as dropping in a new cartridge, but Fox says that this design makes room for a higher volume of fluid inside the post, which results in a lighter lever feel.
The post is available with either internal or external routing, in 30.9 and 31.6 diameters and 100-, 125- and 150-millimeter-travel lengths. The Performance level post shown here comes with a black stanchion coating, but $314 buys the Factory-level version, which comes in the vanity-enhancing Kashima coating. There are two versions of the remote, which is sold separately–an under-the-bar shifter-style version and a less ergonomic top-of-the-bar version for unfortunate souls with front shifters. $264 post, $65 remote / ridefox.com
Kore Fuse II Saddle
If you're looking for some subtle color highlights for your bike, Kore's Fuse II saddle might fit the bill. It comes with either red, blue, green, orange, yellow or black on the underside and the chromoly rails, and will fit most butts at 132 millimeters wide. The center of the Fuse II is depressed to relieve pressure on sensitive areas, and Kore says the nylon base is built with just the right amount of flex. $110 / korecomponents.com
Blackburn Wayside Cage
Side-entry bottle cages are nothing new, but the Wayside gives the idea a new twist. The cage and the bracket are actually two separate pieces, so there's no need for side-specific versions. The cage comes in five colors and weighs 45 grams. $20 / blackburndesign.com
Clif Nut Butter Filled
All too often, energy bars taste like they somehow got covered in talcum powder. With nut butter on the inside, these Clif bars add some creaminess to the equation, and with great success. So far we've sampled the Chocolate Hazlenut Butter flavor, and it was tasty. Peanut Butter, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Coconut Almond Butter are the other varieties. $1.79 each / clifbar.com

I was really impressed with a lot of the fashion this year, and equally disappointed at some. Then there were definitely some, "What were you thinking!?" moments.
I loved, loved, loved Ginnifer Goodwin's look! I think she pretty much always looks classy and stylish, so she definitely didn't disappoint. From the dress, to the accessories, to those shoes (love!), she was by far one of my favorites.
I also really loved Kat Dennings look, though I will say she looks a lot thinner. Not that it's a bad thing, but I loved that she rocked curves, and now she's rocking much less.
Work it, Giuliana!
Jessica Pare looked so chic and sophisticated! And I love those bright lips!
Now, for my not so favorites...
Zosia Mamet... honey, no. Just no.
I had high hopes for Amanda Peet, because I love her, but she ended up looking like she forgot her dress and came out in a slip. Sorry, Amanda, I just don't like it.
Having Zooey Deschanel on my "Not So Favorites" list makes me a bit sad. I adore Zooey! And yes, I understand her style is "quirky", but this is like a badly homemade junior prom dress. I did like her hair though, and her nails were too cute!
What did y'all think? Who did you love and who did you hate? And who else loved the opening with Jimmy Kimmel crying in the bathroom?

I'm since a while member at CJ and i'm using the datafeeds of CJ but i have joined last week some new merchants with a datafeed.
But i checked my zipfile that i'll receive daily from CJ and the new merchants are not listed in the file.
I tried last week to contact CJ several times but no response.
Did some people here had the same problem when trying to contact CJ ?
I find it very strange because in the past i was receiving an answer within 24.
December 11th, 2008, 06:38 PM #2
You're right, they typically respond pretty quickly, especially on datafeed issues. You might try calling them 805-730-8000 and asking for publisher support.

In the first ever SEC Softball Preseason Coaches' Poll, the Georgia Bulldogs were picked to finish fourth in the Eastern Division by the 11 league coaches.
LSU, which is ranked No. 9 in the USA Today/NFCA national poll was picked as the overall champion followed by Alabama and Tennessee.
Florida, last year's overall champion, was selected to repeat in the East. Tennessee and South Carolina both received first place votes as they each tied for second in the East followed by Georgia and Kentucky (Vanderbilt does not play softball). In the West, LSU, the two-time defending West Champ, was followed by Alabama, Mississippi State and Arkansas. Auburn and Ole Miss tied for fifth.

Villa overview - owner's description
Luxurious, timeless and energetic villa is most sought after location in hills of Bophut. Huge pool within a tropical Zen spa garden. Few minutes to all hot spots and the best beaches on the island.
The location is just perfect. It´s only a 5 minutes drive to the original Fisherman´s Village (Bophut), the place to be on the island with all its gorgeous restaurants and lounges for having a high end dining or lounging experience. I recommend the weekly Fridays night "Walking Street". If you prefer to party and dive into a hot and excessive nightlife also no problem. Chaweng, the island´s most crowded place with a lot of clubs, parties and bars, restaurants etc. is also only a short 10 minutes drive away. If you like it completely quiet and relaxed then try the Maenam area which you can reach in less than a 10 minutes drive. The best Beaches of the Island (Maenam, Bophut, Chaweng, Coral Cove) are only a short drive away. The Villa is perfectly located between all important places and beaches. The 2 best hospitals of the island can be reached in less than 5 minutes but till now no one of our guests needed it, but it´s always good to feel save.

(Click Cover To Pre-Order "CLOUDS", Dropping March 1st)
The Detroit hip-hop scene propelled itself even further in 2010 thanks to resident producer Apollo Brown, who dropped several projects either as a solo artist or as a collaborator. Whether it was his solo "compilation" project, "The Reset" (Click HERE to read our review), to his fantastic outing alongside Journalist 103 and DJ Soko as The Left, "Gas Mask" (DITTO), Brown showcased a knack for crafting beats that ran the gamut from gritty and grimy to airy and soothing. With his first project of 2011 "CLOUDS", Apollo has pieced together a project that showcases his true range as a producer.
As aggressive as the production on the "Gas Mask" was/is (with the exception of a few cuts, namely "The Melody"), "Clouds" unveils more somber, yet elegant production from Brown. It's only customary that the backdrop to the John Robinson & Kenn Starr featured "Balance" (originally found on "The Reset") also finds a home on "Clouds" (the only track that we've already heard thus far), as the overall vibe and feel of "Balance" blends seamlessly amongst this airy, hypnotic, 52-minute journey. Timing is everything, and "Clouds" with a March 1st release date, is the perfect "Spring" LP, just as "Gas Mask" was suited for the Champion hoodies and Timberland boots of the chilly Winter months. Timing is indeed everything!
Quite possibly, Brown's most complete solo work to date, "Clouds" is perfectly suited for the early spring months (good call Mello Music Group!!) as tracks such as the wailing "Blue Ruby" make good listening for the perfect Sunday evening cruise with your lady friend. While the follow-up to "Blue Ruby", "Never In A Million Years" is fueled by an echoing horn loop and as a whole, the track possesses it's own anthemic qualities. "Heirloom" will have you reminiscing of Nas' more finer lyrical moments and the guitar lick that fuels the track will instantly recall "Affirmative Action" from Nas' sophomore LP, "It Was Written".
A very emotive LP, Apollo has taken a giant leap from the days of his debut instrumental LPs "Skilled Trade" and "Make Do" with "Clouds". Realistically, it may seem as if Bloggerhouse, or myself in general, has become quite the Apollo "Stan". Yet, it's tough to knock dude as he's seemingly crafted an LP with emotion, depth and soul that dives even deeper into Apollo's crates. Quite honestly, I didn't know dude had it in him! "Clouds" is a grown man's LP, not a "beat tape", an LP. Linked together by samples that recall traditional R & B jams (see: "Bridge Through Time" and "Imagination") to the new psychedelic faze that Apollo has unveiled (think: Jaisu) on "Shadows of Grief" and "Push", Apollo has layered "Clouds" with a little bit of everything from the jam that will become your girlfriend's new favorite, while also keeping the hardrocks content with gems such as "Drinking Life". And the Pharcyde – sampled ("She can be my broad/And I can be her..") "Shoot The Heart" would have sounded extra nice on a day such as Valentine's Day.
Void of any wastage or evident fodder, "CLOUDS" is a definite must cop, even if the early months of 2011 has, save for a few, lacked any true heavy-hitters (Clan Destined and IMAKEMADBEATS not included), "CLOUDS" is destined to be an instrumental opus that is gonna' be hard to top in 2011. However, it will be interesting to see if any of the tracks inclusive on this LP will re-emerge with your favorite emcee atop the soul-stirring backdrops courtesy of one of the best to do for 2010 and beyond.

Genge, Sara: "Pretty Little Thing"
Pretty Little Thing
by Sara Genge
She was a pretty little thing, lithe, dark. She swung her hair just so, without a care in the world, not a hint of tension to betray the danger of the situation, a young girl taking the metro at night, alone.
I imagined she had a boyfriend. She was too hot not to. What kind of man would let her walk home alone at night? Some teen kid, surely, someone who didn't know what the world was like or didn't value her enough. If she were mine I'd protect her. I'd help her onto the 25 kph conveyor belts so she wouldn't have to take off her high heeled shoes. I'd accompany her home. That's what a decent man would do.
She wore nano. Daddy must have shelled out quite a bit for it. The nanobots pressed her clothes to her skin in just the right places, showing off her not-quite-ripe figure. She must have worn communication lice in her hair too, but they were the expensive kind and didn't show. She was too young to dress like that. I knew, because she had small marks on her elbows and knees, darker stains black people sometimes get in exposed areas. If she were old enough to use nano inside her body, the bots would have removed them. Not many would have noticed, but I'm pretty observant.
In fact, I'm so observant that I knew immediately when Constanza planned on leaving me. This was a year ago. There was something in the way she stepped onto the boat. A slight trembling of her calf. She was nervous, although she had been to the peniche many times before. I had taken her sailing down the Seine and we had slept cuddled in the room under the deck. I loved that boat. Peniches have been sailing the Seine for centuries. They're supposed to be flat cargo boats, but I bought mine already fitted out as a home. No taxes, no ties, free to come and go as I please, free as the current of those dirty waters.
She said awful things to me that night, things I won't repeat because you really don't want to hear them. I was hurt, I really was. All I'd wanted from her was a little respect. But the past is the past and now this cute girl was sitting in front of me.
I'd programmed my nano to record my thoughts so it was important to be observant. That way I never forgot anything. I was careful, I planned ahead. I went through the information at night in the boat. I added bits and pieces together and reconstructed other people's lives. Who knew when I might need them?
I could hear the black girl's legs slide against each other as she crossed them, could see the hungry stares of the men sitting next to her. There was a tramp eating a kebab with his hands. Dirty nails, green-lined cuticles. Did he have a fungus? See, this is what I mean when I say this country is going to pot. That kind of person should be put away, or, even better, put to work. You probably understand. You're a normal guy just like me. You work hard. You do your part. And when you get out of work, you have to watch these parasites, looking at a young girl's legs with no respect. It's disgusting.
The girl and the kebab aroused both my hungers. It was excruciating. I knew a girl like her would never go out with a guy like me. I didn't know her; if I tried to start a conversation, she'd think I was a pervert. I know things never work out that way. In another time, in another place, if she'd gotten to know me, sure! But she'd never get to know me. I'd crossed her once or twice, accidentally of course, but she lived in a different world: took piano classes at the conservatory, went shopping with her mom, lived in the 17th Arrondissement.
What I mean is that women approach relationships in a different way. I'm OK with that, I believe in Darwin. This overprotected chick would never be interested in me.
This prim man came into the metro and sat next to her. He was stiff, the kind of guy who can't let go, pretty sick if you ask me. He kept looking at the vagrant's fingernails and sniffing. I couldn't blame him for that, but I sure could blame him for his haircut. As if a cow had licked it, that's how greased it was.
The girl got out in another nine stops, as I'd known she would. She changed lines twice. She tacked through the metro system like a sailboat through adverse wind. When she climbed up the stairs, I caught a glimpse of her panties. They were pink, how typical. She might not yet know what she wanted, but she wanted it, that's for sure. Constanza was the same at first. Then she got frightened. I was too much of a man for her.
I sunk into the shadows as she waited for the bus, then caught the number of the line and walked. It was a long way and I didn't really know what her stop was. I had seen her one morning at the Lycée Henri V so she had to live close. I made an approximate guess and then moved slowly. I knew I wouldn't stand out in a posh neighbourhood; I've rented the boat to rich people often. I walk the walk, I talk the talk. Constanza wanted to have a nice place to bring up the kids. She didn't think the peniche was good for that. She said she'd be afraid that a baby would fall off.
That's the part I hate most about her, now we won't have any kids. I slept with this woman for a year and I have nothing to show for it. The last time, she screamed a lot, just a show, I know she liked it. I could have been a good father. I'd have taken the kids to the stadium. I'd have taught them manners. I'd have told them the truth about some things, the truth about women. It's Darwin again. Women and men want different things; it doesn't mean one is right and the other wrong. It just means they must both pursue their objectives differently and respect each other for going about their business. I read that somewhere.
For example: this black chick was doing it all wrong. She shouldn't be out alone at this time of the night. God knows she could have paid for a cab.
So why was she doing this? False sense of security, that's what it was. This girl really believed people were civilized.
They are, but it doesn't mean anything. I'm civilized, but do you think that should stop me from accomplishing my biological goal? Why should it, when the world is really every man for himself. Darwin again: the strong beat the weak. And this girl was so flimsy I could bat her aside with a hard cuff. I'm not strong for a man, but I'll always be stronger than a girl. Darwin.
I had guessed her stop correctly. I almost stumbled into her as she got down from the bus, but I swerved just in time and she never saw my face. She wasn't carrying an umbrella, which was good, nor a heavy backpack that could be used as a weapon. I swear, some of those high-school girls carry bricks in their backpacks. Her keys could hurt but they were tucked away in that little purse of hers, no doubt. She was so stupid she deserved it. Maybe this way she'd learn to pay more attention.
Survival teaches hard lessons. Better this way, better with me than with some pervert, someone dirty who would give her something or hurt her.
I'd cover my face so I wouldn't have to kill her.
I had to kill Constanza because she knew me, but this time it would be different. This time it would serve a purpose.
I heard steps behind me.
Shit, the prim man had come along, probably followed her, the bastard, and now he was tripping down the street, muttering to himself. Her shoulders tensed, she knew she had company. Shit, shit, shit. What an amateur. He'd spoil everything. He kept grasping his hands, rubbing at them savagely, counting under his breath, only it wasn't silent anymore, I could hear him from where I stood, repeating some odd series of numbers.
The girl ran. She reached into her hair and I knew in a couple of seconds she'd be talking to the police. Instead, she swung into the construction site, just to the side of the road. How stupid! I thought maybe it was a trap set by the police, but she was too young to be working for them. She was probably just drunk and didn't know what she was doing.
I'd get her. I'd get her after I had taken care of the prim guy.
I multiplied three by three until 3000 and then started over again, at least five times. Five is a good number.
She was a beautiful girl, harmonious in every way. What I mean, precisely, is that she had perfect hair, perfect hands, perfect body…no, no, no, I didn't think about her that way.
OK, OK, OK, I'm lying. Not lying exactly, just not being precise.
Sometimes I have this image in my head of a naked black woman and I can't let it go. It comes back to haunt me every day when I'm working in the assembly line. I think I'll let it slip; that a colleague will say hello and I'll blurt "naked black girl!" or "sex!" No, no, no. Can't let that happen. I lie awake at night thinking about it. What a disaster it would be. Everyone would know I'm a pervert. They'd laugh at me. With my luck, it will happen. I know, someday it will happen. I can't even be sure it hasn't already happened. Maybe I already let it slip but they were too polite to say. That's why I keep a thought-diary, so I can go through my memories afterwards and make sure I haven't done anything wrong.
When that's not enough, I count.
I multiply three by three until 3000 and then I start over again, at least five times. Five is a good number. There are five fingers on each hand, five toes. The image of the naked black girl goes away sometimes when I do this five times.
If that doesn't work, I count skipping one, skipping two, skipping three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine. I count until I get lost and have to start over again, five times, five is a good number.
So I sat on the metro and enjoyed the way her hair moved. I was thinking dirty thoughts again. I knew I was a bad person; I deserved to die. I wanted to touch her in bad ways. I thought she could tell by the way I was looking at her. Everyone could tell. They'd call the police; they'd know I was a pervert.
She got off at Nation and changed to line 1 to Gare de Lyon. I followed her closely through the ample tunnel to the commute. In the daytime, there would have been shops and restaurants there, but at that time of night, they were closed. There was nobody to keep her safe. No crowd to look after her. I followed her to line 14. She must have noticed. I was breathing so heavily I knew she could hear me. One, two, four, seven, eleven, sixteen, twenty-two, twenty-nine, thirty-seven… I'd lose control of myself. I was afraid I'd hurt her. I'd tear off her pink panties. I couldn't believe I looked at her panties. I'm evil. I should be in jail. I went to the police once but they let me go. They told me I have an obsessive disorder and that I'd never act out my impulses. They were wrong. Look! I was following this girl around.
I was going to rape her, I was sure I'd do it. I was going to rape her and kill her afterwards.
I almost lost her when she crossed the street on a red light. I couldn't cross, safety first. I wished I had lost her. I saw her again turning the corner. I didn't want to hurt her.
One, two, four, seven, eleven, sixteen, twenty-two, twenty-nine, thirty-seven.
This weird guy was following me. He looked at me in the metro and kept his knees painfully bent so as not to touch mine. I'm used to men looking, I know I'm beautiful. But the way he was taking me in and trying so hard not to look…I don't know, but it scared me. He moved weird, he kept his body closely folded, avoided touching the seats and doors. He counted this mad series of numbers under his breath.
I had to get myself together, I had to concentrate. I should have imagined this could happen. I was deliberately trying to attract the rapist. After that crash rejuvenation treatment I knew I'd attract perverts. I should have anticipated that I could attract the wrong one.
At least the target was still following.
Get yourself together, concentrate.
Darwin, you know? This nut had to go. He'd seen me stalking the black girl. He was a liability. If I got to the girl before he did, he'd be pissed and he'd go to the police. As if they could do anything to stop me. I was at the top of the food chain, but that didn't mean I'd take an unnecessary risk. I had to get this guy out of the picture so that me and black mamba could have some fun.
I turned around suddenly and took a swing at his face. I rammed my fist into his nose and it started bleeding like hell, all over my new pants. I punched him in the gut and he rolled over and I kicked him, aiming for the gonads, the floating ribs. I kept at it and soon I was sweating.
It's hard exercise but probably as good for you as the treadmills in the gym. No matter how hard I kicked, the guy kept squirming. You'd think he'd give up and die.
When he was finally still I stopped to light a cigarette just in case he was hibernating and planned on getting up soon. I was very careful, but no nanomed pack I knew of would save him from that beating.
Vincent stopped making love to me after the rejuvenation. He's decent, he couldn't fuck a teen. He said he'd wait until it wore off. That's two months abstinence, too decent if you ask me. I told him it was an accident. Sometimes it happens, you ask them to take off ten years and they take off fifteen. He believed me. He was born rich, it's easy to fool him. Rejuv isn't an exact science and it's very expensive. Most people don't even know it exists, and that's what I was playing on. I even had them add some imperfections to my skin. I knew Vincent wouldn't notice, bless his little heart, but the bastard I was after would know.
I'm only saying this so you'll believe me. You'd never believe me if you thought I was a stupid teenager blabbering for attention.
The government can read your thoughts. I know that you're thinking, they'd never do that, it's illegal blah blah blah. You're right, they shouldn't. But they do. All those nifty thought aids and thought diaries. They have access to them. In spite of the scrambling, in spite of the passwords. They have computers that can break those locks like twigs.
They don't do it routinely, takes too much computer time, but when something arouses their attention, say, a bunch of Arabs in a mosque heatedly saying "bomb" two or three times, or two individuals in a deserted location recording thoughts of rape in a high-strung emotional tone, they might listen. They have nifty little programs designed to detect that kind of situation. If you wanna kill somebody, you better do it by surprise, and you better not think about it too much. Better yet, don't record it.
I'm going to turn this off now. If the going gets rough I'll turn it on and hope somebody notices. If everything turns out OK, I should have time to erase all of this before I get back home, but now I need to build a precedent in case something happens. In case I'm killed. If I die, this gets broadcast into the net. My nano is very very special. Most nano stops working after the user's croaked, but this model can use my dwindling body heat as an energy source to do me one last favor.
If I die, shit hits the fan.
[End of recording]
It hurt, but I couldn't shout. My emergency pack went into primary. I was glad to have the latest model, safety first.
The psycho had stopped for breath. I overrode the pack and forced it to shoot me some amphetamines. I took off and he yelled, but I moved fast.
I didn't know where I was running to. At first, I thought of calling for help but everyone knew I was a pervert and they'd never believe me. The guy was probably the boyfriend of the beautiful girl and was just giving me what I deserved.
I'm evil, I deserve to die.
I went into the construction site on the left, hoping for something, I didn't know what, something to come and save me. My eyes scanned the floor in the dim light for something to use as a weapon, then I caught myself and realized what a sadist I was and had to start counting again, one, two, four, seven…
It wasn't hard to find the prim guy, he kept counting out loud. He was stupid.
He'd run after the girl into the abandoned construction site, away from help. He didn't know about Darwin. He didn't know that I was the fucking top of the food chain.
I grabbed a heavy metal bar. It felt rough under my palm, corroded, but who cared? I inched in towards the counting-guy, concentrated on my prey. I was a lion. I couldn't let anything get in my way.
I took a step forward….
[End of recording]
Twenty-nine, thirty-seven, forty-six, fifty-six, sixty-seven.
A shout!
I was still afraid but maybe the jealous boyfriend needed help. I crept out of my hiding place and lit my mobile for some light.
I saw her. It was dark, so at first I didn't see the small black cylinder in her hands, not her black skin either, just the glint of nano.
The psycho fell without a sound but there was blood everywhere.
I'd never seen a gun up close before.
She turned towards me. I knew she was going to kill me, but she lowered the cylinder and signaled me to check the guy. I leaned over carefully, trying hard not to get blood on my cuffs. I was so scared I didn't even count. I just took his pulse.
He wasn't dead. He looked at me bewildered. He tried to speak but he only gurgled. He'd die soon if he didn't get help.
"He tried to kill you too," she whispered.
She was right. For good measure, I kicked him, hard. I jumped up and down on his chest until it caved in. I didn't count.
They'd all laughed at me long enough. Even a pervert has a right to some respect.
I knew what she'd done. She'd involved me in a murder. I didn't really care, not much, not at the moment.
She shot him again and I looked at her, bewildered.
"I was Constanza's friend," she said.
"He smothered her in her sleep and dumped her into the Seine. He was so fucking calm he recorded the killing without tipping anybody off, the probes never saw him skip a heartbeat," she said.
"What probes?" I asked.
"The probes, man, the government probes." Suddenly, her voice broke into a whisper. "You don't keep a thought-diary, do you?"
I didn't answer.
From the look in her eyes, I knew she could hear the sirens too. She lowered the gun. She had the saddest smile on her face.
"We're going to jail," I said.
She shook her head and pressed a black button on her plastic gun. It blazed up in flames and disappeared, not even a spoonful of dust to show that it had ever existed.
"No, you're the only one getting nailed for this. You're the one with the motive and there's blood all over your shoes."
Then she started to scream for help. She's a beautiful girl, so strong and perfect and I'm a monster. I deserve this, I really do. I don't mind going to jail for her.

There are four main types of mattresses in the market. These are memory form, Latex mattress, spring, and air. All mattresses have unique features that make them suitable for different uses, mainly at home or in hospitals. These various characteristics also play a role in their pricing. In this guide, we will look at the difference between Latex and Memory Form mattresses.
Latex VS Memory Foam Mattress
Most users find the Memory foam mattresses to be more comfortable than Latex mattresses. The Latex mattress comes second with almost as many users as the Memory Form Mattress. Just like everything else, a mattress to has unique selling points you need to consider before buying one.
These are:
- Warranty
- Side Sleepers
- Body Heat
- Cost
- Back-pain
- Durability
- Sagging
- Allergies
- Availability
- Weight
The Form Mattresses and Latex mattresses have lengthy warranties. However, the Form Mattresses have a shorter warranty than the Latex mattress. The latex mattresses have a 25-year warranty while the form mattress has a 20-year warranty.
Side Sleepers
The Form Mattress is the most comfortable for side sleepers. The Form Mattresses adjusts best to the body's side contours. The Latex mattress is firmer and less comfortable for side sleepers. Latex mattresses are not the best for overweight people who prefer to sleep on their side.
Body Heat
Latex Mattresses do not influence your body temperature by retaining heat. Heat retention is a common problem when using Form Matresses; they trap heat making you feel hot. Sleeping on a latex mattress allows your body to set its temperature naturally without the mattresses having any influence.
Consumers bear any manufacturing costs. If the high price of a mattress is an issue, then you should keep in mind that quality latex mattresses are always more expensive than quality Form Mattresses.
The best mattresses to relieve back pain are latex mattresses. The one that has a higher latex content offer a more supportive and spring feel. They are the best in that regard. The Form Mattresses also provides some back-pain relief due to their supportive feel, but they lack the "spring feel" that Latex Mattresses have.
The springy characteristic of the latex mattress makes it last longer. It does not take any indentation like the Form Mattress. The Form Mattresses have a significantly shorter lifespan than Latex mattresses.
The rubbery material that makes Latex Mattress is resistant to sagging. Other mattresses like form and spring are susceptible to sagging.
If you are health conscious, or you have allergies, latex mattresses are the best choice for you. They have fewer chemicals as compared to Form Mattresses. They are also resistant to dust mites and allergens.
Memory Form and spring mattresses are available in abundance due to their high-profit margins when compared to latex mattresses. If you are planning to buy latex mattresses, then you need to find a local supplier or make an order in advance.
Latex mattresses tend to be heavier than Form mattresses. The natural latex models can weigh up to 100 pounds. The Form Mattresses are much lighter and easy to carry around.
Those are the main factors that different between latex and Form Mattresses. If you are looking for comfort and affordability, the Form Mattresses are the best. If you are looking for comfort and some health benefits, the latex mattresses are the best choice.

Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement can't claim additional quasi-contractual rights, as the following case shows.
Recent case: Anna Walker worked for nine years as a nursing assistant for a Minnesota hospital. She was covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the hospital and the Service Employees International Union, which provided a tuition reimbursement plan for employees pursuing registered nursing degrees.
Walker took advantage of the program and graduated. Then she applied for open positions, but wasn't selected.
After she lost her job, she sued, alleging an implied contract for employment for a year after graduation. But since the union contract didn't mention continued employment, her case was dismissed. (Walker v. Fairview Health Services, No. 09-1841, DC MN, 2011)

Those are beautiful dresses. Your girls look lovely in them.
I like your solution of using the same fabric, but different patterns. My two girls love to dress the same (six and four years old), but I'm not so keen on them looking identical. You've inspired me to rethink the next dresses I'm going to make.

The Power of Social MediaSometime ago I wrote a blog in which I predicted that there would come a time when Ryanair's performance would begin to falter because of increasing customer dissatisfaction with its business model. That time may have arrived because of the power of social media.
The airline recently became the focus of a Facebook campaign criticising the brand's tendency to fleece customers for extra services. Suzy McLeod flew with her family and was charged €300 for printing five boarding passes. Her Facebook entry read " When flying from Alicante to Bristol yesterday, I had previously checked in online but because I hadn't printed out the boarding passes, Ryanair charged me €60 per person!!! Meaning I had to pay €300 for them to print out a piece of paper! Please "Like" if you think that's unfair". Over 500,000 people did. In addition there were more than 20,000 comments posted, most of them in support of her.READ THE REST...

The best intermediate-level text on determining the environmental fate and distribution of organic compounds
For each chemical introduced into the environment, there is the chance that that chemical will travel from its release point and move through various ecosystems at large. Great distances can be covered; detection has revealed unexpected compounds on mountain peaks and in polar regions. The relatively new field of environmental chemistry seeks to understand and predict these distributions; over its twenty-five years of development, scientists have greatly refined existing knowledge of how organic compounds behave in the world outside the laboratory.
Chemical Concepts in Pollutant Behavior, fully updated in this Second Edition, provides a detailed applied chemistry resource for understanding the current state of environmental chemistry. Based on tried-and-true methods developed by the author over years in the classroom, this student-friendly text requires an introductory knowledge of chemistry yet develops in-depth coverage of:
While taking up traditional problems of interactions between water, soil, and air, the text also explores discussions of uptake by plants from soil and absorption by foliage from the air. Though the text remains focused on compound behavior, the author takes a holistic approach to the subject, emphasizing its interdisciplinary nature.
Well-referenced and illustrated, Chemical Concepts in Pollutant Behavior, Second Edition represents an excellent text for intermediate students of chemistry as well as an accessible reference for professionals working with environmental issues requiring chemistry expertise.

Some years ago, while reading the Kokinshu for the first time, I was struck by a thought that many of the love poems read like I Saw You ads in the local alternative weekly newspaper. In the Kokinshu, seasons follow arcs—there is the first hint of green with herbs breaking through snow, then the kaleidoscope of flowers, seventy poems about cherry blossoms, then summer comes a we listen to the nightingale for a season. Love and grief also follow arcs—with love, there's a giddy first hint, then getting to know all about one another, and finally, breaking up. In the beginning of the love section, a poet might glimpse a beauty across the fields of Kasuga and become instantly entranced.
An I Saw You ad, in case you have never heard of one, is a record of a missed opportunity. You might have a conversation with a gorgeous stranger in the frozen food aisle at the grocery and go home kicking yourself for not having asked for a name or a phone number or a date. Or you might make eye contact at a stoplight and want something more. All you would have to do is phone the alternative paper (here call the Alibi) and place an ad with some details about your moment.
I am teaching a freshman humanities course (a "legacy course") that in part follows the influence of ancient Japanese (the Kokinshu and Basho) and Chinese (Han Shan) poetry on the Beat Generation (Gary Snyder and Jack Kerouac) and our contemporary world. The "legacy courses" strive to provide students with knowledge of works and ideas from earlier cultures that have played and continue to play significant roles in understanding the contemporary culture in which we live.
So, my class is also looking at questions such as why does Albuquerque have an annual haiku contest, Japanese botanical gardens, a Zen meditation center, an Asian grocery store, a bunch of anime lovers and martial arts enthusiasts, etc.
In my attempt to bridge the ancient text with our lives, I thought I would bring in some I Saw Ad clippings, have the students write waka (a poem with a 5-7-5-7-7) using the information in the ads, then compare our poems with the those of the ancients. Here are some examples:
Girl at Casino (8/11/14)
I saw you on Monday at Santa Ana Star Casino, near the back area by "The Stage" around 1:30–2:30pm. You were wearing glasses and with a woman I assume was your mother. I was walking up to a machine when we made eye contact for a split second before I looked away … I wanted to talk to you but wasn't thinking. You are beautiful and I can't stop thinking about you! If you see this please respond; maybe we can go out to a casino or have dinner sometime and get to know each other :)

Incredibly Good-looking Guy at Trader Joe's
You: Salt-and-pepper haired guy at Trader Joe's. I looked up and there you were, looking at me with those beautiful green eyes. You made me melt, I didn't know what to say, but I wanted to say, "I need to know you."
Me: Attractive woman with long brown hair, in black yoga pants, brown top and black long sweater.
Please Answer. I wanted to say something there but was too shy. Please let me know if you felt the same spark.

That might make for a happy new year. ;-)

Saw you at the expo home show Aug 24th
You were running the booth for Blue Ridge Communication. I should have introduced myself! I've been regretting it ever since! Please reply! So mad at myself!
On August twenty
fourth I saw your beauty behind
the BRC booth
and I sincerely regret
our missed communication
From these, we decided that our public spheres are very different. Whereas those ancient poets were always out in nature, we're often encountering the possibility of love in a place of commerce—at Wal-Mart, restaurants, and casinos. Ours are also really direct about the person and precise about the location. It's not just in the neighborhood that we find love; it's at these particular crossroads. They also pointed out that emoticons do the work of enjambment. However, the goals were fairly similar–to connect with another person.
As it turned out, most of the students had never seen I Saw You ads before, so now they know the old-fashioned, printed way that people flirted with one another before Facebook (Tinder?). So, there was an unforeseen learning outcome. Perhaps they will start reading the alternative paper to see if they were seen.

The saves going around now are done on Hardcore or NYM which will pop both the Hard and Hardcore achievements together. Which is not possible to do legit and wouldn't look right. I'd like to get the hard cheevo now and get the other, tougher achievements in proper order later. Thanks!

|VIII European Championship on mini-soccer among priests
|Thursday, 27 February 2014 18:13
The silver medals were won by the priests from Croatia who also showed high soccer level.
Sport complex "Olympia" gathered lots of soccer lovers from all over the country who arrived to Lida to support the priests, especially the Belarusian team from their Homeland. Although our priests received only the forth place, their fans were still glad and happy, because the soccer was intense and interesting, and the 4th place is still quite honourable.
The first Vice-Minister of sport and recreation in Belarus Mr. Alexandr Gagiyev welcomed everyone on behalf of the Ministry. Mr. Gagiyev expressed his hopes that all people who visited Belarus for the Championship had cordial and good impressions from our country. Alexandr Gagiyev congratulated also on the results for the winners and everyone who took place in the event.
Also, the head of Lida municipal administration Mr. Alexandr Ostrovsky congratulated heartily participants of the Championship and expressed his high hopes that visitors liked Lida city and its people. The head of Lida invited everyone to the region anytime.
Monsignor Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz addressed all the people at "Olympia" with special words. First of all, the Monsignor thanked God for the possibility to hold such a big sport event in Belarus, for the honour and blessings to hold it in Lida. As the Monsignor described, it speaks for the Church in Belarus being ready and strong enough to welcome the international events. The Archbishop marked that we should take our Evangelisation everywhere with us - also to stadiums.
Monsignor Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz added that Lord acts through people and expressed his gratitude to the organizers of the Championship, especially to fr. Pawel Solobuda, Ministry of sport and recreation, Lida municipal administration and everyone who supported the event being on such high level. Archbishop Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz thanked also to the fans who helped so much to the players from all the country-participants.
The Monsignor read out the letter from Apostolic Nuncio in Belarus Claudio Gugerotti. In his letter the representative of Holy See welcomed everyone under the name of Holy Father Francis. "The Pope expressed his joy about the event among clergymen who are first of all united on the ground of their beliefs and service for God, and during the Championship also united by sport. This Championship underlines the value of the body given us by Lord and of sport competition as leading for a certain aim with cordial dedication and self-commitment. It's a great opportunity to show the world the joy of life that distinguishes Christians, including certainly the priests," - underlined the Apostolic Nuncio.
Grodno diocese feels very honoured to host the Championship. More than 170 priests took part in the 8th soccer Championship. They came from Belarus, Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Croatia and Montenegro.
Among all these it is noteworthy to mention the great commitment of Belarusian priests to this event. They initiated the organization of it to be held in Belarus and made their best efforts to support the highest level of the competition. The Conference of Catholic Bishops in Belarus that took the patronage of the Championship and Ministry of sport and recreation together with Lida municipal administration helped to the priests and supported their initiative.
So, after the Championship we can say with honour that our priest are great ones and we highly appreciate them.
Fr. Jerzy Martinowicz
