In 2009, Swedish film maker Fredrik Gertten released a documentary film title Bananas!*. The film is about Nicaraguan banana workers and their battle with banana giant Dole. The workers claim that Dole knowingly used dangerous pesticides that had adverse health consequence for the workers including sterility. The 80 minute film debut at the Los Angeles Film Festival in the swirl of media attention. Here is how the LA Film Festival Described the Film:
"In his most recent film, Fredrik Gertten chronicles the case of Nicaraguan banana laborers, represented by L.A. attorney Juan Dominguez, against the companies that they claim poisoned them with pesticides. Between the film's completion and its screening at this year's Festival, critical new elements of the case have come to light.
What happens when a story continues to evolve after the shooting stops? This case study and screening will explore the relationship between documentary filmmaking, objective and subjective point of view, as well as the rights and responsibilities of activist filmmaking." http://www.lafilmfest.com/tixSYS/2009/filmguide/Title/BB
That media attention and evolution after shooting was the result of claims by Dole that film was untrue and amounted to defamation. Dole maintains the claims were fabricated by the plaintiffs' attorneys . L.A. attorney Juan Dominguez is viewed by Dole as a villain, not the heroic crusader found in the movie. US courts have ruled in Dole's favor:
"On Wednesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Victoria G. Chaney issued written Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, formally ordering dismissal with prejudice of the two remaining lawsuits against Dole Food Company, Inc. and two other companies, brought on behalf of Nicaraguan plaintiffs who had falsely claimed they were sterile as a result of exposure to the pesticide DBCP on Dole-contracted Nicaraguan banana farms three decades ago." http://www.dole.com/CompanyInfo/PressRelease/PressReleaseDetail.jsp
Interestingly, Dole and Gertten disagree on the interpretation of this court ruling. Gertten maintains the ruling does not mean all of the claims are false and that the film is a fiction. For more details on Bertten's position see the movies web site http://www.bananasthemovie.com/. Dole presents its case at http://www.dole.com/DBCPFact/tabid/1229/Default.aspx.
Gertten's primary defense of the film has been free speech. He argues that Dole's efforts to prevent people from seeing the film (Dole tried unsuccessfully to prevent showings at the LA Film Festival) are a violation of free speech. Groups such as the International Federation of Journalists support Gertten. See http://www.ifj.org/en/articles/ifj-condemns-attempts-by-embattled-food-company-to-censor-free-speech-in-us. Dole's actions include a defamation lawsuit begun in July of 2009. Here is how the position is stated on the movie's web site:
"Dole Food Company is suing filmmaker Fredrik Gertten, producer Margarete Jangård and our production company WG Film for slander and defamation with our film BANANAS!*. The film follows an historic event in an American court, and is a matter of public record – not defamation.
We are supporters of free speech. We believe that filmmakers have the right to make films on important issues and bring stories to the forefront that can create debate and criticism. Lawsuits such as this one are meant to silence and stop all communication and dialogue.
Dole is trying to shift the focus from themselves and their controversial treatment of banana workers on to us and our film. This unfounded lawsuit means more than just silencing a single documentary film. It is a threat against free speech itself and will set precedence for all of us if Dole succeeds. We can not let Dole stop BANANAS!*." http://www.bananasthemovie.com/show/take_action
On Oct. 15, 2009, Dole dropped its defamation lawsuit. Dole's motivation was the negative reactions and protests in Sweden over the lawsuit. "In a statement, Dole said it decided to withdraw the lawsuit 'in light of the free speech concerns being expressed in Sweden, although it continues to believe in the merits of its case.'
'While the filmmakers continue to show a film that is fundamentally flawed and contains many false statements we look forward to an open discussion with the filmmakers regarding the content of the film,' Dole's Executive Vice President and General Counsel, C. Michael Carter said. latimes.com/business/la-fi-dole16-2009oct16,0,2332657.story Gertten views this as a victory claiming his film is balanced
Questions to Consider
- Would you have advised Dole to initiate the defamation lawsuit in the first place? Why or why not?
- Would you have advised Dole to drop the defamation lawsuit? Why or why not?
- When is free speech a form of protection against defamation?
- How does the international aspects of this case complicate it?
- In the end, how did Dole's actions help to the movie and its director?
- Why would Dole worry about a small, documentary film from Sweden?

Inspired by a woven blanket, the Witness Blanket is a large-scale art installation made from hundreds of items reclaimed from Residential Schools, churches, government buildings and traditional and cultural structures from across Canada. The Witness Blanket stands as a national mounment recognizing the atrocities of the Residential School era, honouring the children and symbolizing ongoing reconciliation.
A team from Media One Multimedia followed the development of this project, and this feature length documentary reflects that important journey. The documentary includes footage, audio and photographs of the process and the very human stories behind the artifacts - stories of pain, reflection, discovery and healing.
Carey Newman will be present to introduce the film, answer questions and engage in conversation about the Witness Blanket.
Presented in partnership with MediaNet and the IndigeVision Film Showcase.

Before the Super Bowl completely fades from our collective memory, I want to showcase a pair of DIY projects today — one of them Super Bowl-related, and one of them partially Packers-related.
First up is reader Ben Beattie, who did something special for the big game:
My wonderful girlfriend was nice enough to buy me a home-brew kit for my birthday. I recently used it to brew an ESB (extra-special bitter). As I looked at the calendar, I realized it would be done on Super Bowl Sunday, so I decided it was my duty to be a little creative with the labels.
I had 22 bottles, so I uni-fied them with the starting lineups for each team — Green Bay's offense vs. Pittsburgh's defense. I used the sleeve stripes from each team to add a little flair to the labels, modified the Super Bowl logo for the reverse side, and put the helmet logos on the caps. All in all it was a great success, aside from the near cat-fight over which female got the Aaron Rodgers bottle.
Since I came up with this idea during the divisional round of the playoffs, I made proofs of labels for each of the remaining teams at that time. The teams with more traditional sleeve stripes looked a lot better than, say, the Falcons, so from then on I started rooting for teams that would result in decent-looking labels. I lucked out with the Packers and Steelers.
Next up is Brian Pettit, who recently DIY'd himself a few T-shirts, including one that's particularly appropriate in light of how Sunday's big game turned out:
I've wanted to do make my own T-shirts for a while, and I recently ran across a few tutorials of how to make T-shirt stencils by using freezer paper.
I decided to test out this technique by making a few shirts for my brother. I came up with three designs:
1. Acme Packers. This was the first one I printed, and it didn't come out as good as it could have. It actually looks better in the photo than in person. I guess I could call it "distressed" and go with that excuse. I still like the overall design I came up with for the logo.
2. Barrel Man. I couldn't find a T-shirt in Brewers blue, so I went with a charcoal tee instead. Maybe a little odd, but I like the contrast. After doing the main design, I thought it needed a little more, so I added the sleeve stencils. I like it because it doesn't say, "Brewers" in big letters across the chest and is a little bit more obscure.
3. Mario. This one was a little tougher to print because of the two-color design. I think it looks striking against the black shirt. I like how it came out.
The downside of this technique is that you have to destroy the stencil, but it makes these shirts special and one-of-a-kind.
Great stuff. My thanks for to Ben and Brian for documenting and sharing their projects.
Uni Watch News Ticker: Super Bowl tidbit that I neglected to mention yesterday: Antwaan Randle El was wearing very short socks (as noted by Make Mameli). "¦ And here's a surprise: The logos on the end zone pylons were actually patches. At first I thought, "Hmm, that's new," but apparently it isn't. Turns out the pylon logos have taken a variety of forms over the years (big thanks to Ryan Connelly for getting the ball rolling on this one). "¦ "Here are some photos from my cousin's outdoor hockey game — Lawrence Tech U out of Detroit against the D3 Michigan State hockey team," writes Jason Taber. "It was played at Clark Park, right in the heart of an old city neighborhood in Detroit, with a view of the Ambassador Bridge. The Zamboni broke so the teams had to shovel the ice every 10 minutes." "¦ Yesterday I mentioned that the Giants are changing the sleeve patch on their road jersey. What I neglected to mention, however — until Frankie Parish reminded me — is that the old patch is migrating to the orange alt jersey. So basically those two jerseys have swapped patches. "¦ Speaking of MLB sleeve patches, the Tigers are wearing one in spring training to mark their 75th anniversary in Lakeland. "¦ There are soooo many teams wearing pink for breast cancer awareness now, so I stopped listing them all in the Ticker a long time ago — it gets tedious. But I will never get tired of showing examples of pink ice (with thanks to Brian Schulz). "¦ New logo for the National Volleyball League (with thanks to Paul Lee). "¦ Marvel Comics, having already made a joke out of the NHL, is now turning its attention to the NBA (with thanks to Stu Taylor). "¦ Scroll down on this page to see some uni number news for the Cardinals. "¦ With all this talk about anti-concussion football helmets and such, the protesters in Egypt have their own ideas about protective headwear (with thanks to Michael Stinton). "¦ Jeff Katz found a really fun site devoted to Dick Allen. Lots of great old photos and such — recommended. "¦ Oh. My. God. Jake Doyle sent me that, and holy shit do I want it for my wardrobe, like, yesterday. "¦ Also from Jake: You know how the Flames use the franchise's old Atlanta logo for their alternate captain "A" patches? The old "A" also appears on Thrashers goalie OndÅ™ej Pavelec's mask. "¦ Jake also sent a photo that I think speaks for itself. That looks like a textbook case of a jersey that looks awful in real life but would look completely awesome on a Uni Watch membership card, incidentally. "¦ Last one from Jake: Check out the crazy insignia style on this old basketball jersey. "¦ Guess what's turned 135 years old yesterday? Right, the hockey puck. The 135th anniversary of Don Rickles first calling someone a hockey puck comes up next week (with thanks to Michael Koch). "¦ Would you wear Brent Musberger's signature on the sleeve of your sweater? You would if you're Brent Musberger (good spot by Ben Teaford, and it's worth noting that Jon Beckmann submitted almost the exact same screen shot exactly three minutes after Ben did). "¦ Is Tim Thomas wearing a red Reebok logo? Seems odd, no? (As noted by Casey Grapsas.) "¦ New secondary logo for the Winnipeg Goldeyes (with thanks to Bradford How). "¦ New sponsor for FC Barcelona. "I'm not too happy," says Joe Schmidt. "¦ Jay Bilas had a few things to say about basketball shorts last night (thanks, Phil). "¦ Twins President Dave St. Peter was addressing several uni issues on the Twitter last night. Closest thing to news was the revelation that the team has at least been talking about elevating the throwback to primary status. Personally, I'd love to see that, although I'm dubious (with thanks to Kyle Petersen). "¦ Now there's one thoroughly awesome college hoops jersey. Mark Prusinski snapped those pics the other day at the Louisville Hall of Fame, which is located in the school's basketball arena. "¦ Very sloppy lettering job on Nicolas Batum's NOB (screen shot by Bob Delano). "¦ Reds broadcaster and all-around cheery guy Marty Brennaman was the keynote speaker at Marshall University's preseason baseball banquet the other night and had the following uni-related analysis of a certain National League team: "The Chicago Cubs won't be a factor because, no matter how much they add to their club, at the end of the day, they've got 'Cubs' across the front of their jerseys. That's the reason why they won't win." Might've been better if he'd said "on" instead of "across," but whatever — Brennaman managed to overshadow that sage commentary with a quip that would've made Marge Schott proud, as you can see in the third graf of this article. How lovely to hear that his address received "rousing ovations" "¦ Remember that Super Bowl ad where they digitally dressed all sorts of sitcom characters in NFL gear? Here's a side-by-side comparison of the original and altered versions of those scenes (with thanks to Scott Davis). "¦ I think we've covered this before, but what the hey, once more can't hurt: Check out these shots of Broadway Joe. Looks like he was wearing a practice jersey — no stripes, NNOB. Those shots are from a Jets/Oilers game in 1969. Video available here (major thanks to Paul Wiederecht). "¦I'll be visiting my Mom out on Long Island today, so Phil will be minding the store. See you tomorrow.

Red Devils tighten grip at the top
Late goals from Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young sent Manchester United five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Blackburn at Ewood Park.
Late goals from Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young sent Manchester United five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Blackburn at Ewood Park.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men only went in level at the break thanks to a series of fine saves from David De Gea, but the Red Devils would made the breakthrough in the second half.
With time running out, it was Valencia who struck 10 minutes from time, drilling a shot past Paul Robinson after darting into the box. Young added another before the end with a neat finish from the edge of the box which just rubbed it in. The result also saw Rovers drop back into the bottom three on goal difference.
In the early stages, it seemed just a matter of time before the visitors opened their account. Michael Carrick curled a shot over and had a penalty claim turned down, before Phil Jones misdirected a header wide against his former club.
But Spain Under-21 star De Gea was forced to tip a Junior Hoilett effort over before the break, also repelling Marcus Olsson and Grant Hanley in spectacular fashion.
It marked a change in attitude from the hosts, who continued to push forward with gusto when the teams re-emerged.
Scott Dann glanced a header wide following the restart, top scorer Yakubu wasted a couple of decent opportunities and Rio Ferdinand had to rescue De Gea who, after all that had gone before, blotted his copybook by spilling Morten Gamst Pedersen's thunderous effort.
Steven Nzonzi then rifled the ball into the net following a pull-back, but to the disappointment of the home supporters, it was ruled the ball had crossed the line for a goal-kick.
United were starting to get desperate, but Valencia eventually grabbed the crucial goal, beating Robinson with pace from a difficult angle.
Young's composed strike sealed victory and gave United's cross-city rivals Manchester City considerable food for thought in the Premier League run-in.

- Date:Fri 07th Oct – Sat 10th Dec, 2011
- Time:10pm -6am
- Location:Motion Skate Park, 74 Avon Street, Bristol
- Price: Various
The start of the UK party season this year is led by Bristol's pioneering party starters In:Motion. A series of incredible events striking hot on the heels of last year's triumphant first season, which tore a hole in the skate park come club Motion, spread across five rooms indoors and out. 2011 brings artists from all musical persuasions capturing everyone from the heroes of the scene to the rising stars and bringing all manner of brands from the electronic music community together to embrace all dimensions of the underground dance movement.
The peerless Hessle Audio make their debut for the In:Motion series on 15th October, standing head and shoulders above the rest with performances from Jamie XX and Jamie Woon. Jamie XX's movements out of his band, The XX to DJ and remix artist have been well received with heavyweights such as Radiohead's Thom Yorke, Florence and The Machine, and Canadian rap giant Drake. Jamie also released one of the anthems of the summer on NMBRs in the form of 'Far Nearer'. Since Jamie Woon came onto the scene everyone has been scrabbling for the opportunity to see him live. His album debut 'Mirror Writing' saw him strike a terrific balance between convention and subversion, producing dubstep infused commercial tracks, alongside equally enigmatic and enchanting productions. Both of these artists are a rare sight in a club setting, but Bristol In:Motion's festival atmosphere found within numerous intimate and vast spaces is an apt fit for these two sonic masters.
Bugged Out return for 2011 on the opening weekend on October 8th, bringing Jamie Jones, now a household name for a new generation of house and techno fans through his Hot Natured guise and Hot Creations label. It will have already been an amazing week for L-Vis 1990 & the Neon Dream who will have just released their staggering new album 'Neon Dreams' which features Para One, Teki Latex and Julio Bashmore. L-Vis 1990 (aka James Connolly) a London-based DJ and producer co-founded the groundbreaking Night Slugs imprint with Bok Bok. Also kicking things off in the first week is Fake Blood aka Theo Keating aka Touché. Under his many aliases, the man like Keating has produced some classics over the years remixing the likes of Underworld, Hot Chip & UNKLE. He's become somewhat of a Bugged Out! family member and will bring his bass heavy bangers to the floor.
Sharing the bill on opening weekend are firm friends and In:Motion family favourites Hospitality, who bring Danny Byrd, High Contrast and MJ Cole amongst others. Bringing together bass heavy music, an electrifying atmosphere and second to none production, Hospitality have grown into true titans of the scene, consistently bringing the best in show-stopping DJs from the constantly evolving drum & bass scene to a hugely faithful crowd. This summer they represented at the Parklife festival, ripped apart their own stage at Lovebox and set things alight at Global Gathering. D&B is back in Bristol, its spiritual home.
Sven Vath's Cocoon, are to techno what light is to fire. They continue to touch thousands of people across every continent with their inimitable brand and unfaltering show. This December they will bring it to Bristol for the first time. The now iconic Tiefschwarz headline the show, exemplifying their playful talents for putting everything from electro to tech-house and slithering minimal under the scope and turning out consistently compelling sets.
Bristol's own Just Jack bring Soul Clap on the 29th October to headline their highly acclaimed Halloween party The Gunpowder Plot which will be complete with circus acts and fireworks. The trend-setting American East coast duo leapt to fame through their relationship to the esteemed Wolf + Lamb family. This year saw them bridge new levels of notoriety through their special DJ Kicks album.
Moving back a little to November and BBC Radio 1's Toddla T will make the crossing from Sheffield counties to blow the roof of Motion once again. Toddla T has firmly established himself in the last few years with production and heavyweight remixes for the likes of Roots Manuva, Hot Chip, Gorillaz and Tinchy Stryder and more, plus a DJ rep so strong that it bagged him a regular Radio 1 show.
Festival brands BLOC will join heavyweights Run and Bristol favourites Futureboogie, who bring the infamous Henrik Schwarz, ensuring there is something for every musical taste on show.
Add to that the incredible production team and a venue that verges on festival status with five rooms of varying calibre, and In:Motion's second year is set to be bigger and better than anything else on the radar. 2011 sees improved sound engineering and facilities such as food court and photo booth.

Morecambe footballers have backed a drive to stop domestic violence.
The Shrimps' first team pledged their support for White Ribbon Day inspired by the White Ribbon Pledge – a national campaign led by men to stop domestic abuse.
White Ribbon Day will be held on November 25.
"People who take the White Ribbon Pledge do not believe that violence is inherent in those carrying out the abuse," said Kirsty Thompson, community worker for domestic abuse service LetGo North Lancashire.
"Instead they believe that it is a learned behaviour which we all need to challenge to make sure it becomes culturally unacceptable."
One in three women will suffer domestic abuse in their lifetime and that on average, two women in England and Wales are killed by a partner every week.
Statistics for male victims are less conclusive as men often don't report abuse as they believe it will not be taken seriously.
"We need men and women to recognise and speak out against domestic violence," said Kirsty.
"We need positive role models for young people and zero tolerance of violent behaviour in any personal relationship.
"Domestic abuse has a huge and negative impact on our communities. It damages families and costs our society millions in order to pick up the pieces. Wearing your ribbon shows your commitment to ending domestic abuse.
"It shows respect to those who have experienced domestic abuse and it helps educate those who are not aware of the realities of domestic abuse."
If you would like to know more about the campaign or someone you know is suffering domestic abuse please contact LetGo Lancashire confidentially for advice and support on 01524 61398.

Student News
Student Chapter Management
APICS Student Chapter-Chapter Minimum Standards (ASC-CMS) required reporting 2014–2015
APICS established student chapter minimum operating standards and chapter management recognition programs to ensure student members are provided opportunities for a rewarding, challenging membership experience.
The purpose of setting minimum standards is to enhance the growth, development and value-add of APICS chapters by evaluating each chapter against a set of criteria believed to have a direct and positive impact on chapter performance. These minimum standards reflect the five categories of the Student Chapter Management Program: Administration, Education, Programs, Membership and Public Relations. These items reflect the minimum level of performance needed to be a viable APICS student chapter (ASC). Student chapters that do not meet these standards are considered distressed and in need of immediate intervention from their local sponsoring (parent) professional chapter and district.
All student chapters are required annually to submit evidence of compliance or non-compliance with the minimum standards. Each student chapter is required to deliver standards or program submissions for the 2014–1015 reporting period (April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015), by April 30, 2015.
Documentation may be submitted in one of these three methods:
- Submit hard copy documentation as outlined in the Student Chapter Leadership Handbook.
- Complete the online submission form (this option is for chapters submitting CMS only).
- Use electronic submission (Excel). A template file can be obtained by contacting Chapter Relations ([email protected]). This option is for chapters submitting both minimum standards and Chapter Management Program standards.
Questions and additional comments regarding the policy can be sent to APICS Chapter Relations.

And inside too as our boiler has broken down, so hats and mittens are essential wear inside and out. We have finally had it fixed today so life is getting back to our toes. I have just about posted all our Christmas orders, hoping that the snow doesn't hold things up too much; but I am afraid there may be some delays. These snowy images are from my collection of 1960's illustrated books - Momoko's Birthday with lovely watery illustrations by Chihiro Iwasaki and a poem from Robert Lewis Stevensons A Child's Garden of Verses which just captures a winters day and is beautifully illustrated by Brian Wildsmith.
it's cold outside

The best thing, is that you will look young much longer than me in this cold weather...(sorry for the bad joke!)ReplyDelete
The true, is that if I were you, I couldn't survive to all this snow!
Hope you'll get fixed your boiler soon!
Beautiful illustrations :-)
Glad to hear your heating is back on!ReplyDelete
I have Robert Lewis Stevensons A Child's Garden of Verses - the Penguin paper back version with lovely pencil drawings - but I love the coloured illustrations in your book too.
Hope you have some warmth in your house now Virginia. Have a very Merry Christmas, and I look forward to following your ventures next year.ReplyDelete

Dutch music channel TMF (The Music Factory) commissioned WEBER to create a website for a campaign surrounding their daily 'Kijk Dit Nou' television show. The show was apt to hold contests, giving away notebooks to people who sent in funny or inspiring wishes.
In cooperation with computer manufacturer Dell a campaign was launched to promote the new Dell Mini Inspirion notebook. The application was Christmas-themed and revolved around people wishing others to get the notebook.
The funniest or most surprising wishes would be granted. The application could be moderated by the client to review the wishes that came in before they were made public. The goal of the campaign was for Dell to gather email addresses and to promote their new product.

Green Tomato Pie Recipe, Have You Tried Green Tomato Pie?
Here is a traditional southern pie that has long been ignored. But no more. Green Tomato Pie is making its comeback!
Here is a traditional southern pie that has long been ignored. But no more. Green Tomato Pie is making its comeback!
The tomatoes for this pie should be truly green. You might find them at the grocers, but chances are you'll have to grow your own or go to the farmer. I think that the difficulty of finding the green tomatoes is the reason that this recipe has been ignored for so long. Hopefully you have a pick your own fruit farm nearby. Be sure to tell the farmer that you want green tomatoes before you begin picking, he may direct you to a different area. While you're there get a few extra for Fried Green Tomatoes as well.
The flavor of green tomatoes is very tart. The sugar counteracts the tartness for a truly tasty pie filling.
Green Tomato Pie
4 c. green tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4 or 5 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 tbsp. vinegar
dough for 1 double pie crust,(top and bottom) unbaked
1/2 c. raisins
2 tbsp. butter in small pieces
2 tsp. lemon extract
Additional sugar and cinnamon
1. Mix the sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour together. Set aside.
2. Add the vinegar to the thinly sliced tomatoes and combine with the dry ingredients, stir well to blend.
3. Add the remaining ingredients except for the butter.
4. Put into the unbaked crust, dot with the butter pieces and put the top crust on.
5. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top crust.
6. Sprinkle with additional sugar and cinnamon. Bake at 425 degree for 60 minutes or until the tomatoes are done.

In 1994, Fred Thompson was locked in a Senate campaign against an increasingly desperate opponent, Jim Cooper. During a debate, in response to what Thompson thought was an unfair attack, the once-and-future actor said in his most authoritative voice, "Jim, it's one thing to lose an election; it's another thing to lose your honor." Cooper seemed to shrink, and I could tell then-and-there that Thompson would be the one going to Washington.
I'll leave it to others to debate whether, or to what extent, James Webb has lost his honor as a result of the smear campaign against his opponent Senator Allen. But I do think it would have been honorable for Webb to have distanced himself from his "netroots coordinator" when that blogger attacked Allen for alleged "deep-seated issues" regarding his Jewish heritage. More generally, it would have been honorable for Webb to have denounced making that Jewish heritage an issue in the campaign.
In any event, I agree with John Podhortetz's take on the surprising turn the Webb candidacy has taken:
Webb is a brilliant and unclassifiable guy — I'd say he's very close to being a paleocon with socially liberal attitudes. But if he is anything, he's politically incorrect. How ironic, therefore, that his campaign has now staked itself on the incredibly dreary politically correct issue of "offensive language" dating back decades. Instead of being the philosopher-novelist candidate, Webb is instead on the line in the most dispiriting and unintelligent political contest the United States has seen in years.

III. Discussion
The subject was able to achieve mobility much sooner than other patients who displayed the same type of hip flexion contracture. The widely-used physical therapy interventions for hip flexion contracture were utilized with this patient: backlying with neutral hip extension, lying prone with six inch diameter rolled towel placed under the patient at mid-femur, and stretching in the form of forward pelvis rotation while in approximate midstance. After low-load continuous stretching, more aggressive contract-relax exercises were employed to lengthen the hip flexor. These exercises reduced the angle of the hip by 5° after the first session. Use of sagittal isometric contract-relax treatment of a contracted muscle with an amputee was not found in the literature review. Traditionally, the flexion contracture can only be addressed therapeutically, but the recent development of the Flexcon offset plate allows the prosthetist to immediately reduce the negative effects of flexion contracture on gait, so the patient can begin gait training with the prosthesis much sooner. Therapeutic interventions continue, and as seen with this patient, the Flexcon plate is removed when the patient has improved range of motion at the hip.
IV. Consent
Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and accompanying images. A copy of the written consent is available for review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal.

Living Room Armchair Alternatives For Modern Home
Living room doesn't have to be this boring grouping of a sofa, two armchairs, and TV since there are so many alternative furniture pieces that can add much more flair and character to your room. You can also save some space by swapping regular armchairs for these darlings.
Armchair Alternatives For Living Room Decor
A daybed will merge your living room and reading nook seamlessly. Besides since it can look as both a big armchair and a couch the living room its functionality as reading chair and seating (or even sleeping) space for guests will only make you thankful you went with it. You can also use it instead of a sofa if you have a small or awkward living room.
Poufs are great as foot rests and can be used for seating as well. These are great for small spaces because you can easily hide them under the coffee table in case you need more floor space. They can also work great as accents for your living room decor.
Bean Bag
Bean bags are more inviting than many daybeds and can also look unusual in a living room. It is especially great for winter when you can sink into a fur or knitted bean bag at the fireplace and warm up with some tea and catch up on your reading.
Swing is not your typical seat but it sure is fun. It will add a bit of fun into day to day life. But it can also be functional in terms of relieving stress. Just sit back and sway your problems away after a long hard day.
Throw Pillows
Throw pillows aren't just decorative. They can be used as floor cushion if you like spaciousness without many furnishings. Add soft fluffy rug and a low table for an ultimate family space to watch movies, play, and simply relax.
No comments yet. You should be kind and add one!

This is technically the second regular chapter of the week (since I missed one last week!). There will be FIVE more chapters coming this week (that's my goal at least).
Note, sponsored chapters will be $50 per chapter from now. The chapters in queue will not be affected. The reason is mainly because of college. It is okay now since it's the first week, but it will be harder for me to do a lot of chapters as the semester goes on. Good luck to flowerbridgetoo, btw, as he seems to be on the same boat as me as freshman at a university.
Also, my Munpia journey has not stopped (some of the donation money are funding my reading there lol). I think I spent ~$70 already on Munpia. I will make a tier-list once I get a few more novels in of the good Korean novels there (some are already being translated). Currently, I'm reading The Reincarnator, which is something like my 6th or 7th novel.

Better compensation for rail passengers
14/10/2016 13:35:00
I welcome yesterday's announcement by the Department for Transport reducing the amount of time your train can be delayed before you are entitled to compensation from 30 minutes to 15 minutes.
The new scheme, known as Delay Repay 15, will initially be introduced on the Govia Thameslink franchise, which includes Southern, and then rolled out across the country. Customers will be able to claim 25% of the cost of the single fare for delays between 15 and 29 minutes. The existing Delay Repay thresholds will remain and are as follows:
• 50% of the single fare for delays of 30 to 59 minutes;
• 100% of the single fare for delays of 60 minutes or more;
• 100% of the return fare for delays of 2 hours or more.
The Government is quite right to start with our franchise given the misery commuters are currently experiencing, partly because of totally unjustified trade union action but also due to the failing of Govia Thameslink and Network Rail. Let's hope this financial incentive makes Southern raise their game!

NKOTB Still Hangin' Tough

The New Kids on the Block brought their latest tour to the Los Angeles area last week. This is the 4th major tour since the group got back together in 2008 (by themselves, with Backstreet Boys, with 98 Degrees & Boyz II Men, and this one). This one is being billed as "The Main Event" and features Nelly and TLC as opening acts performing hit after hit as the ad says.
So how does a group that has been around for almost 30 years now, keep their audience interested? Up the sexiness, and put on high-energy shows that showcase what seasoned performers they are. You know you are going to have a good time. And the guys work hard to make sure you leave happy.
I first saw this group back in 1989 at the same venue on their Hangin' Tough tour. This was during their heyday. I remember we saw a matinee performance as they had a performance at night that day too. I had been dating my partner for about 11 months at that point, and he liked them too. Flash forward to today, we are still together and NKOTB are together again (with one openly gay member at that!).
This is the first time that I have seen them perform in the round. There was one major stage in the center that looked like a boxing ring without the ropes, with 2 smaller stages off to each side. There were 4 video screens above the center stage, for optimal viewing from all angles.
A scantily clad female came out holding up a sign that read "Round 1". First up, was Nelly, the rapper from St. Louis, Missouri. He was joined by 4 booty shaking dancing girls and 2 fellow MCs. Compared to the other 2 acts, I was less familiar with his songs. The crowd was really into his set and sang and danced along. I knew the bigger pop leaning hits like "Where the Party At (w/ Jagged Edge), "Ride Wit Me," "Just a Dream" and "Hot in Herre." He didn't sing "Over and Over" — his duet with Tim McGraw. I was hoping he would do it with NKOTB. His voice seemed a little rough, but his energy pulled him through.
Time for "Round 2". A man came out and served as the Master of Ceremonies for TLC, the ground breaking R&B, hip-hop act from Atlanta, Georgia. This was the first major tour since the death of Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes in 2002. Their backup dancers carried 3 giant fans, and they spread them out to create a dramatic covering for the singers and dancers as their set started. Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins and Rozonda 'Chili' Thomas proved that the show truly does go on. They performed hit after hit — from the opening song "What About Your Friends" to the finale of "Waterfalls." They were dressed in colorful graffiti-inspired outfits with metallic accents. Left Eye's vocals played where you expected to hear them, including during "Waterfalls" which was dedicated to her. The words for her rap were shown on the screen for the audience to sing along with. They performed one new song "Meant to Be" from the VH1 movie, as images of the group through the years played on the video screens.
After a short break and a solo video from New Kid Danny Wood's upcoming solo album, the group was shown on the video screens from backstage explaining that Jonathon Knight would not perform tonight (nothing was said other than he had an accident, but was fine. Turns out he broke his nose falling on the tour bus). Time for Round 3, the Main Event. They even got the famous announcer, Michael Buffer (Let's Get Ready to Rumble), to appear and give them an introduction. They each came on stage in boxing robes as they took the stage one by one.
The opening song was "Block Party" a bonus song from their 2013 album "10". The guys were all dressed in black and white. The stage had 10 squares on it which served as moving platforms during the show. So at times, there were 5 rows of 2, and at other times, all 10 squares moved separately. Madonna used something similar during her last tour. There were also elevated platforms on the side stages at the ends. The band was off to the side of one of the smaller stages.
During the costume changes, there were cameras in the dressing room, so we could see our favorite guys as they undressed and changed outfits. It was all very PG despite the warnings that flashed on the screen.
The guys went through some of their hits as the year the song came out flashed on the screen. Joey even commented on "Please Don't Go Girl." He said, "I've been singing this song for 27 years… 27 fucking years!" And then he lead the audience along saying he would be singing it for 5, 10 or even 27 more years God willing.
Joey, Jordan and Donnie all took solo time in the spotlight. Donnie sang a couple of New Kids songs (I Need You (who knew he could play piano?), Cover Girl, plus some of Lean on Me); Jordan sang "Baby I Believe in You" with his shirt open, combined with his solo hit "Give It to You." Joey had the most dramatic and showy solo moment, as he danced and sang a mashup of Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" and NKOTB's "Twisted" with his shirt off and barefoot. He made full use of all the moving platforms on the stage.
There was plenty of confetti, fireworks, and streamers during the 2.25 hour show. The guys definitely know how to keep the energy up. It was obvious though that some people just came for the opening acts, then left after they were over.
It was good to hear "Games" again… mixed with 'This is How We Do It" (by Montell Jordan). That was their answer song to their critics back in the day. Joey brought out his young son, and he sang the intro to 'Tonight" before the guys headed out into the audience for the song as they have done on previous tours. I was lucky enough to hi-five a few of them on "The Block" tour.
"Hangin' Tough" closed out the evening. Jonathon Knight even came out at the end and took bows with the rest of the guys. It was a fitting close to "The Main Event."
Thanks to all for another fun concert. See you on the next tour.

As many of you have realized, we have come to the end of our current cycle and are proceeding into our next. The next will be a gymnastics-biased cycle, which Grant aka Ktown's Dominique Moceanu will be covering in a coming blog post. However, the purpose of this post is to shed some light on the purpose of what we have been doing the last several weeks with all of these crazy single-arm and single-leg exercises.
Strength by Analogy
In engineering, the strength of a structure is determined by the ability of the materials used in the structure to endure various stresses, including shear, torsion, and bending. Steel is stronger than a pillow. But it is much more complicated. Much like the Golden Gate Bridge, our bodies are made of many different materials and pieces. For the bridge, there is steel of various types and tensile strengths, joints, concrete, asphalt, protective paint, supports, etc. For our bodies, there are tendons, ligaments, bones, organs, joints, cartilage, and so on.
Additionally, a bridge is designed to flex and bend and move with the external forces that will be exerted upon it (wind, water) and to support its own weight. Similarly, our body is designed to move and bend to control external loads (barbells, med balls, kettlebells) and to support and control its own weight (gymnastics).
Structural Strength and You
All of that to say this: when designing a bridge, structural engineers create a design and choose the strongest materials in an effort to minimize the chances of a catastrophic failure, i.e. the bridge cannot handle the weight it is carrying and it collapses. Similarly, our recently completed cycle sought to remove imbalances by forcing you to move in single-arm and single-leg modalities. We forced you to use smaller muscle groups with accessory movements. We used slow and controlled versions of movements and "strict" versions of movements to increase overall strength and to force you to better control both external weights and your own bodies. And lastly, we put a strong emphasis on abdominal core work and strengthening the posterior chain – the base of stability and power for the human body.
Our structural strength cycle was designed to help you recover from the rigors of the CrossFit Open by lowering intensity, while at the same time challenging your strength, control, coordination, and balance. As we move into our gymnastics cycle, the Summer of Squats, and a heavy Olympic lifting cycle, we have sought to prepare your bodies, your base, as well as we can for the rigors ahead to reduce the likelihood of injury and failure and maximize your likelihood for success.

On Thursday evening, June 12, 2014, three teens attending one of Israel's Yeshivas (religious seminary) disappeared. Rumours say they had been 'tremping'.
'Tremping' is a form of hitch-hiking. When you tremp, you usually stand at road-side and hold your hand out and angled downward towards the road beside you. When a car pulls over, you negotiate a free ride.
But in Israel, 'tremping' is more than just 'hitching' a free ride. In Israel, especially near many of the country's smaller communities, 'tremping' is a form of socialization. Riders gather. They chat. They form friendships. Cars stop. Sometimes, two or three cars line up to offer a ride.
It's a courtesy thing. It's how Israelis interact with each other.
Nevertheless, Israel is at war. Tremping carries risk. We have all seen news reports of Arabs disguised as religious Jews offering rides—looking to kidnap someone. We have heard of Arabs forming teams to hunt someone—anyone--to kidnap.
We are at war. Our cities are at risk. Our children are at risk. Tremping is a risk.
Whether these boys were tremping or not, we all expect them to be safe. That's our Prime Minister's job. He is supposed to create and enforce policies to enhance safety, not reduce it. If we are not safe, he will pay a price for his negligence.
Kidnapping Jews is important. Everybody knows what happens when you kidnap a Jew: the Jews give in. Jews will release hundreds of convicted Jew-killers for a single kidnappee. The last kidnapped soldier (who was not murdered) brought the release of more than 1,000 convicted killers.
Kidnapping is a weapon in the Arab war against the Jew.
For several months now, Hamas and Palestinian Authority (PA) officials have been calling for more kidnappings. We have all been reading about these calls. We know what the Arab is thinking. We know what's coming.
Now, it's happened. Three boys, age 16-19, have disappeared.
We pray for their safe return. We pray they will be found soon.
But while we wait, anger builds. Yes, that anger is directed at Arabs. Arabs have been attacking Jews lately with increasing boldness. There are more attacks in Jerusalem. There are more attacks against Israeli soldiers.
But we have also seen Youtube videos showing something else. Israeli soldiers have been emasculated.
We recently saw one video in which a soldier was attacked. Patiently, he fended off his attackers. But then one attacker got behind him. He raised his rifle and aimed it at the other, while he turned to get both in front of him. The attackers fled.
The soldier was arrested. He was threatened with prison. He had committed the ultimate taboo: he had pointed his weapon at the enemy.
This is why Netanyahu will pay a price for these kidnappings. His leadership has harmed our ability to protect ourselves. Under his leadership, the enemy now sees that we cannot even point a gun at him.
Netanyahu will pay for that.
In another recent video, two armed soldiers arrest a violent Arab protester. Immediately, they are surrounded by a mob of screaming Arabs. The soldiers will not raise their weapons. Frightened, they release the arrestee to the mob.
They are helpless. Their weapons are nothing more than props.
Netanyahu will pay a price for that.
Just last week, many in certain Israel cities noticed an unusual increase in Arabs riding buses they don't normally ride, walking on streets they don't normally walk. Something was in the air. What was it?
Now, three Jewish boys have disappeared. Maybe they were tremping. Maybe they weren't.
It doesn't matter how it happened. They're missing and Arabs in the PA celebrate. They hand out candies. Fatah (the ruling Party in the PA) has posted on its official Facebook page a call for PA residents to destroy all video and photo evidence of the kidnappers, in order to hinder the Israeli search.
Yes, the IDF will crack down hard. But it will be too little, too late.
We pray for the three boys. We fear for their safety.
Netanyahu will pay a price for this kidnapping.
Netanyahu will pay a price for this kidnapping because this is a small country. There is little decentralization. The Prime Minister has a controlling voice in the IDF (Israel Defence Forces). He has a controlling voice in the civil administration. He has a controlling voice in how assertive our security forces are in protecting us.
More and more, he is perceived to be withdrawing that protection. More and more, he appears more concerned over what gentiles say—and less concerned about Jewish safety. More and more, he seems to respond to Arab attacks with indifference—until it is too late. Then he slams the barn door after the horses have escaped.
However this ends, Netanyahu will pay a price for his neglect. .

Harold,

Sorry, I was unclear. What I meant was while both clauses are
absolute imperatives, my inclination would be to interpret ìna to mean that the
respect (although expected regardless of the husbands behavior) would be the
normative consequence of his obedience to the command to love his wife. I
hope that is somewhat clearer.

Sincerely

DERRY CITY winger Joshua Daniels admits he just wants to play international football after receiving a call-up to the Republic of Ireland's U21 home based squad.
The 20-year-old has decided to switch his allegiance from Northern Ireland to the Republic and can't wait to get some action next week as Noel King's side face an Ireland Amateur side in a training game in Dublin's AUL Complex on Saturday, February 11.
"It's a weird one because I was in the U19s when I was 18 and 19 for the North, but I just haven't been called up in two years," he said.
"I was seeing other boys who were getting called into squads and that was fair enough, but I was thinking I'm playing in the League of Ireland, we're playing down South and most of the people who are going to be watching our games are going to be from Republic of Ireland or FAI.
"Then I got a phone call one day, saying that they thought I was doing well and they wanted me in their squad, so it took a while to get there but it's finally through and I just can't wait to play.
"I just want to play international football. I told Northern Ireland that if it had have been the other way about I would have done the exact same thing. I want to play football whether it's with the U21's with the Republic or U21's for Northern Ireland it didn't matter, whoever was first to come and that's what I made clear.
"I'm not switching because it's the Republic of Ireland, I'm switching because I haven't been called up (for Northern Ireland) in two years and I want to play international football."
Daniels, who along with City team-mates Ben Doherty and Ronan Curtis are in King's squad, can't wait for the game.
"We are friends in and out of football so I can't wait and I think it's massive for us," he added.
"We are all in and around senior football, we're enjoying ourselves and I can't wait to go down to Dublin, take part in the training and hopefully play in the match and I think we'll do alright."

The talented winger is looking to play a bigger role in Kenny Shiels' City side this season and he accepts he may have to adapt his game to play in different positions.
The 20-year-old, who netted his first goal for his home town club in their dramatic 2-2 draw with Finn Harps last May, concedes that he will have to prepare for a wing-back role.
"Getting into Noel King's squad is a bonus on top of getting into the first team with Derry," he said.
"I think when you are in and around the senior squad you get these wee bonuses, especially if you are playing in a side which has had a good couple of wins and a good couple of performances.
"Whether it's playing wing-back, or centre midfield or attacking midfield or wherever it does you the world of good, so I'm looking forward to the U21 squad, but hopefully there's more.
"Look if Kenny (Shiels) plays three at the back then there's wing-back positions and the way things are looking I'll have to play wing-back, but that's no bother. I'll play left-back if he wanted me too.
"This season is all about trying to get a wee run of games more than anything because I was in and out and came off the bench a few times last season along with a good few starts, so I do want to be in maybe even half a season and then look at it.
"Then I'll say 'this is what I need to improve on', but it's up to me really because obviously it's me who is playing and training and hopefully I can give Kenny some food for thought, but yeah it's a massive year for me.
"This will be my fourth season and anyone that comes in gets a chance and I think that's why we do so well, because it takes pressure off all the young boys. They know they are going to be given a chance.
"So we aren't just thrown in for the last game of the season, you are going to get drip fed into it; especially when you are in training because we don't have a massive squad but we have a tight-knit squad and I think that benefits everybody."

The following article appeared in the Wellesley Townsman on May 12, 2016.
One of the great challenges of the 21st Century has been figuring out how to provide access to affordable medical care for all Americans. This isn't just a moral issue, but an economic one as well. A healthier population is more productive and self-reliant.
This problem isn't new. Since the advent of modern medicine within the United States in the late 1800s, communities have dealt with the question of establishing some sort of medical facility to aid its population. Indeed, Wellesley began this debate more than 100 years ago, the result of which was a partnership with the Newton Hospital, a medical center located a mere half-mile from the Wellesley border and officially known since 1945 as Newton-Wellesley Hospital.
First, some background: The facility opened its doors in 1886 as the Newton Cottage Hospital, the result of a suggestion from the rector of Newton's Grace Episcopal Church to the Mayor of Newton that the city would benefit greatly from the establishment of its own hospital. Located in a secluded area of Newton at the outskirts of Lower Falls and Auburndale, it was open to all residents of Newton as well as those of other communities, including Wellesley.
It's important to note that hospitals back then served a much different purpose than they do today. Healthcare was still mostly provided within the home, as doctors traveled to see their patients. Alternatively, some doctors established at-home offices so patients could come to them. The Newton Cottage Hospital, on the other hand, was able to provide long-term care for non-emergency patients, primarily incurables and convalescents.
Of course, medical care cost money. One critical role of the hospital and its benefactors was therefore to provide free and subsidized services to the poor and needy — farmers, laborers, indigents, etc. — who often required more care than the other sectors of the population. In 1897, two Wellesley residents who served on the Hospital's Ladies' Aid Association did just that for their own town's poor, successfully negotiating the establishment of a free bed at the hospital that would be assigned exclusively to Wellesley residents.
This arrangement would only last until 1916, when the hospital's burden to serve Newton's growing population required the dissolution of Wellesley's free bed. It was nevertheless agreed that Wellesley residents could still use the hospital, albeit at the regular cost.
Yet our town leaders knew that it was only a matter of time before the Newton Hospital would be forced to sever its ties with Wellesley. In fact, they had been preparing for this for quite a while. Eleven years earlier, in 1905, the Wellesley Club had established the Wellesley Hospital Fund to raise money to construct a hospital within the town (or donate it should one be privately built).
Alas, there was one problem: it wasn't cost-effective for Wellesley to build its own state-of-the-art hospital given its relatively modest population. Furthermore, considering how close the Newton Hospital was to Wellesley, it made far more sense to reestablish and strengthen its mutual partnership with this larger hospital.
The development of this formal relationship did not occur smoothly. This process began in 1926, when, to no one's surprise, the Newton Hospital announced that it must cease serving the residents of Wellesley. However, if Wellesley were to contribute a large enough portion of the funds required to expand the hospital's medical facilities — about 10% of the $2.5 million cost — then its residents would still be able to use the hospital. In addition, Wellesley residents would be appointed to the hospital's Board of Trustees and assist in the facility's operation. Sounds like a great deal, right? As the proponents from Wellesley described it: "This is not a drive for charity. It is an investment to safeguard the health of the entire community."
For whatever reason, Wellesley residents didn't bite. Despite the endorsements of the Wellesley Hospital Fund, the Wellesley Club, and physicians of the town, less than 10% of Wellesley's population contributed. The collected money was therefore returned, as it was the opinion of the fundraising committee that the sentiment of the town was not in favor of a new hospital.
A few years later, in 1929, as the new six-story medical center was nearing completion, the committee tried raising the necessary funds once again. With the directors of the Newton Hospital willing to accept a reduced contribution of $100,000, enough Wellesley residents were now willing to donate. The Town of Wellesley finally had its modern medical center.
Certainly since that time, the hospital has evolved greatly. Not just in terms of the physical expansion of its facilities, but also through the increased role that healthcare plays within our lives. Furthermore, the growth of the private health insurance industry — not to mention the creation of Medicare, Medicaid, and other government-subsidized healthcare programs — has made the relationship between patients and the hospital arguably quite complex. But there has been one constant throughout: Wellesley residents have always had access to high quality healthcare just a stone's throw away.

Westside CARES gives helping hand to schools
Community aid through churches
Most Westside kids going back to school this month look well-outfitted and healthy, wearing sturdy backpacks filled with basic
school supplies.
In many cases, this readiness did not occur without some help. About a month before school, Westside CARES conducted a health fair and backpack giveaway for about 200 needy schoolchildren at its offices in the basement of Bethany Baptist Church, 1930 W. Colorado Ave. In addition to the packs, services included 35 physicals, 20 hearing screenings (courtesy of the Sertoma Club) and 15 immunizations.
The attendees were from 600 families who have received help from the non-profit, church-supported agency and were invited to the fair because they have school-age children.
But back-to-school preparedness is just a small part of what Westside CARES does. In all, about 2,400 families get some type of help annually. The chief emphasis falls on emergency needs such as rent, utilities and food. Health assistance, referrals, clothes vouchers and other resources are also provided.
Most of this happens without much fanfare, with those in need unobtrusively acces-sing Westside CARES through a door leading to the basement stairs from the parking lot behind the church. ōWe're well-known in the community of the needy, but not as well-known in the community at large,ö commented Steve Brown, executive director of the agency.
Westside CARES (standing for community action, resources and emergency services) has been serving the Westside's poor for 22 years. Although Brown said the ōgreat majorityö of those served live in the Old Colorado City area, the agency's geographic area is much broader: west of I-25 and Highway 115, south of the Air Force Academy, east of Teller County and south to the westward extension of Academy Boulevard.
A total of 21 churches in the service area combine to own the effort, with additional help from various grants, plus Colorado Springs Utilities COPE funds (for Utilities bills) and Goodwill (vouchers for clothes). Other churches are welcome to join the group - Green Mountain Falls' Church in the Wildwood became the 21st just last week.
Westside CARES relies strongly on individual volunteers - about 80 percent of whom come from the member churches, Brown estimated. The 2004 financial report lists more than 12,000 hours in volunteer services.
In his annual report for 2004, Westside CARES Chairman of the Board Dennis Shaw wrote, ōWestside CARES could not exist if it were not for the volunteers who do the screening, keep the records, distribute the food and the myriad of other tasks that make the organization go.ö
All the same, Brown noted that between 2001 and 2003, while the number of Westsiders seeking help doubled, the increase in the number of volunteers occurred at a slower pace. As a result, more volunteers would be most welcome at this time, Brown said.
In its early days, Westside CARES was all volunteer. ōIt's a sweet story,ö he said.
The basement offices include an intake area, offices and a food pantry. The paid staff consists of Brown, who works a 30-hour week; a pastoral nurse from Penrose-St. Francis Hospital, 12 hours; and two other staffers, working 20 and 15 hours, respectively.
The office is open 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday evenings.
Eligibility is a consideration for most assistance requests, particularly to get help with rent or Utilities bills, but no questions are asked when it comes to food. Anybody can get a voucher up to three times a years for a basket containing three days worth of edibles, Brown said. The food pantry opens from 1 to 3 p.m. Wednesdays.
Westside CARES' plans for the future are constrained by limited space, resources and funds, but Brown said he hopes to write a grant sometime for a formal survey that would help determine the ōmost pressing needsö in the service area. Such information would help reveal whether ōwhat we're giving is the right thing or the best thing,ö he said.
Another goal is to establish closer collaboration with the Westside schools. A lot of that is happening now. A recent example was when Westside CARES was able to distribute several backpacks at Washington School last week.

A broader wish of Brown's is to promote more ōneighborlinessö between church-going people and those who receive the church-sponsored services.
