Historical Hotel next to Union Square
The Mosser has been a staple near San Francisco's Union Square since it first opened in 1913 as the Keystone Hotel. Located halfway between Market Street and Mission Street, the modern hotel sits around the corner from the best boutiques and the upscale Westfield San Francisco Centre mall in Union Square. Head east on 4th Street, and you'll quickly encounter the Yerba Buena Gardens, a two-block park home to memorials, museums, and an ice-skating rink.
California cuisine—a style that typically includes seasonal, locally sourced ingredients—is the focal point of Annabelle's Bar and Bistro. The bistro has a wide-ranging menu that employs locally sourced ingredients in its artisan pizzas and fresh seafood dishes. Try their pan-seared Pacific snapper, served with roasted crimini mushrooms and a walnut cream sauce, or the sweet dumpling-squash ravioli paired with sage-browned butter sauce. Pop by during the daily happy hour for discounted food and drinks from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Elegant deluxe queen and deluxe double rooms feature wooden venetian blinds and newly implemented granite and steel fixtures in the private bathrooms.
San Francisco: The Moscone Center, Little Italy, and More
Just a five-minute walk from the hotel, you'll discover the Yerba Buena Gardens, which feature a Martin Luther King Jr. memorial that sits behind a 50-foot-high waterfall. The public gardens (including a butterfly garden) cover two city blocks. They're attached on the southeast side by pedestrian bridge to the Moscone Center.
Jump on the Powell Street cable car and head up into North Beach for a taste of San Fran's Little Italy. North Beach has held to its Italian heritage since fishers from Genoa immigrated to the area more than a century ago. Sandwiched between Chinatown and Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach centers around Washington Square park, which abuts the Saints Peter and Paul Church. To find the epicenter of the neighborhood's noticeable beatnik influence, walk about three blocks south to City Lights Bookstore. The independent bookstore and publisher has remained a symbol of San Francisco's literary scene and progressive politics since the 1950s, when it was a hangout of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac.

The Groupon Guide to: Harebrained Schemes
These days it seems like everyone has some kind of harebrained get-rich-quick scheme. Use this handy guide to sort out whether a scheme is destined for failure or straight for the bank:
Scheme: Your neighbor Robert wants you to open a flower shop with him.
Verdict: Harebrained. Robert inherited the flower shop from his father, but in order to keep the shop's best customer, Mrs. Winifred Downing, you'll have to pretend that Robert's father is still alive and court Mrs. Downing in his guise.
Scheme: Your boyfriend, Calvin, wants to get married.
Verdict: Harebrained. Calvin will use the marriage as a contract to bind you together both financially and spiritually. Once you've signed the paperwork, Calvin can move into your house and even use your toilet.
Scheme: Your older cousin, Harrison, wants to build an airplane in the front yard and charge local children to take rides in it.
Verdict: Legitimate. This is a business opportunity you won't want to pass up, just to see every other family in the neighborhood raking in money with their front-yard aeronautics companies. Sign over all of your bank accounts and government bonds to Harrison as soon as possible.

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Broken bones don't always heal as expected. The December issue of Mayo Clinic Health Letter covers what hampers bone healing and extra steps that can be taken to stimulate bone growth.
A bone break that hasn't healed after six to nine months is called a nonunion fracture. Several factors can contribute to nonunion fractures. One reason can be inadequate stabilization, where the cast, plates or screws allowed the fractured bones to move. Inadequate blood supply also is a concern. Trauma near the fracture site may have damaged blood vessels and impeded blood circulation, which is critical for bone growth. Some bones, such as the upper thighbone or the small wrist bone, normally have a less robust blood supply. Infection at the fracture site, the use of nicotine, inadequate nutrition, health problems including anemia or diabetes, and some medications all can interfere with bone healing.
Several treatment options are available to spur bone growth.

Beautiful presenter Magdalena admitted to not want to be famous just by sexy images only. For that he refused the offer a lot of acting and photography are too indulgence in certain parts of his body. He further wished to emphasize quality in a role or even carry a show.
Economics graduate of the University of Tarumanegara, Jakarta had a principle: better career slowly but surely. Rather than have to humble ourselves to justify instant ways to become famous.
"The temptation was heaviest in the entertainment world famous for its many offer instant way and manner that is not good. As an example, I could be famous and have everything as long as it wants to be a companion of people with money," he said bluntly.
All such trials have been successfully he passed. The 26-year-old single woman had ever starred in the movie 'Si Jago Merah' it has a principle to work with passion. Because of the way that he could be "something". He believes, if the ideals combined with a strong desire to do so, would succeed.
And, most importantly according to Lena, do not ever give up and continue to strive to become better. Because the longer try, the more clever to be able to adjust to the environment.
Therefore, this pool sports fans do not just want to have a sexy image. Because of sexiness that can contain many meanings. However, the beauty and advantages he remains grateful. According to him, beauty was not just from the outside only, but must be smart personality. That's what she had invested in him.
"So instead I did not want to say sexy. I want a sexy, smart and fun," she said.

Helen Keller Elementary School Helen Keller Student & Family Handbook 12-13 Chorus Letter (4th & 5th Grades) Bullying Prevention Incident Reporting Kindergarten Registration Information New Student Registration Information Guide to School Safety Practices |
WelcomeDecember 9, 2012
It is hard to believe that it is already December, the first term of our school year is over and it is time for Parent Teacher Conferences. The teachers and I look forward to welcoming you this Thursday and Friday. This also means that it is time for my "Report Card Memo" to families. Though the below message is a repeat from last year, it is a timely reminder of our goal in reporting student progress.
The distribution of report cards can be a big day in the life of our students. For many students, this brings a great deal of anxiety as children are concerned about how parents/guardians will react when they open the envelope. Growing up, I remember this same feeling. My parents' mantra was "It is not the grade that counts as long as you try your best!" No matter how many times they said that though, I was still nervous handing that report card to my mom when I did not receive straight As or get top marks on effort and conduct.
I want to share with you a portion of an email sent home regarding report cards from a colleague of mine who is a 4th grade teacher in another school. She writes,
"There has been much anxiety over the report cards coming up in our morning meeting discussion sharing comments such as "If I don't get top marks, my mom is taking away my ipod" or "My dad said I would be grounded for a month." Now, some of this is "talk", but this fear of "bad" grades is real for your nine and ten-year-olds. Your children want to please you. They want to impress you. They want you to be proud.
When I was a child, my dad was a teacher (and he still is---39 years later!). On report card day, he would look through the report card and only point out the things that really made him proud. Then, we went out to eat or for ice cream to celebrate "Cara's math grade, Jenna's conduct marks, and Erik's grades in PE and Art." He didn't burst our bubble by pointing out things to improve at that moment of anxiety. He made us feel good for our talents. Then, a few days later, we would have a serious discussion about areas of excellence and areas to improve. But at that moment of truth, as we stood in front of our parents holding our breath and hoping they were happy, he made us feel important, valued, and special. When my own children's report cards come home, I still remember the way our dad treated us and try to do
the same.
When your kids come home this week with their progress reports, hug them, kiss them, tell them you are proud. Hang up the report card. Call the grandparents to share the great news. Head out to celebrate hard work and effort. You'll gain bonus points as a parent and as you head into the adolescent years, you'll have the respect and trust of your children."
Her story is a powerful one and it is clear that her father's approach had a profound impact on her as a child, as a mother and as a teacher. I encourage you to take time this week to celebrate your child's strengths and their effort over the last several months. Find a time in the next week, perhaps after conferences, to discuss his/her challenges and areas for needed growth. Ask questions like, what are your goals to improve in this area? How can I help you reach that goal? These are conversations we have in school with your children on a regular basis. I am confident that working together, we can help your child reach his/her goals!
Wishing you all a safe and enjoyable week,
Julie A. Vincentsen

Coffee Talks: Mr. Atwell and I are looking forward to spending time with those who are able to join us at this week's coffee talk which takes place this Friday, December 14th at 9:00. We will be meeting in the Conference Room. This is an informal opportunity for parents to meet with us and discuss how we can continue to lead together to make the Keller experience a positive one for the children. Future dates will be Wednesday, January 16 (7:00 pm), Friday, February 15 (9:00 am), Wednesday, March 20 (6:00 pm), Friday, April 12 (9:00 am), Wednesday, May 15 (7:00 pm), Friday, June 14 (9:00 am).
Food Drive: Did you know that...
More than 3,000 Franklin residents, over 9 percent, may be struggling with food insecurity?
The Franklin Food pantry distributes more than 14,000 bags to more than 1,000 neighbors in a year?
The food pantry distributes over 123,000 lbs of food and averaged 35 new clients each month?
300+ volunteers help sort, check dates and stock our shelves with community donations?
In the words of our namesake, this week remember that "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much," as we run our annual Food Drive to benefit the Franklin Food Pantry.
Because our last food drive was such a success, the PCC would like to replicate having a spirit day to thank the children for their donations. We will be collecting food on Thursday and Friday of this week. Thursday will be hat day and Friday will be Pajama Day.
FPS Calendar Change: There has been a change to the district calendar. Two additional half days were added at each level for Professional Development for teachers. These days will be devoted to discussing the state mandated change in the teacher evaluation system. Click here for a link to the new calendar. You will note that the additional half days for the elementary level are on April 12th and May 24th.
Lost and Found: Our Lost and Found is getting very full. We encourage you to ask your son/daughter to visit the tables outside of the Health Office to look through the Lost and Found if he/she is missing an item. The contents of Lost and Found will be displayed during Parent Conferences. Any items not claimed by Friday will be donated to charity.
Banking/Save for America: Keller is pleased to be partnering with Dean Bank again this year to offer students in grades 1-5 the opportunity to participate in the 'Save for America' program. This program is designed to educate elementary students about fiscal responsibility and develop an appreciation for the importance and benefits of saving. Banking is held every Wednesday following morning announcements. Any students in grades 1-5 can join at any time by picking up a packet on banking day or in the office. Once the required information is returned and confirmed by the bank the student may bring a deposit to the next banking day.

Pierre Bonnard: the late still lifes and interiorsWorking in his villa in the south of France, Pierre Bonnard (1867�1947) suffused his late canvases with radiant Mediterranean light and dazzling color. Although his subjects were close at hand�usually everyday domestic scenes�Bonnard rarely painted from life. Instead, he made pencil sketches in diaries and relied on these, along with his memory, as he executed the works in his studio. These interiors thus often conflate details from the artist�s daily life with fleeting, mysterious evocations of his past. The spectral figures who appear at the margins of the canvases, overshadowed by brilliantly colored baskets of fruit or other props, create an atmosphere of profound ambiguity and puzzling abstraction: the mundane rendered in a wholly new pictorial language. � The 75 paintings, drawings, and watercolors in this volume, some rarely seen treasures from private collections, all�made between 1923 and 1947, are central to the ongoing reappraisal of Bonnard as a leading figure of French modernism. |

Out with Mommy
http://www.outwithmommy.wordpress.com Out with Mommy began as a nationally syndicated bi-weekly column that has appeared in more than 40 print and online outlets. The column evolved from LezTalk, a first-person exploration of lesbian life in Los Angeles, which began running nationally in 2005. When columnist Pearson Brown gave birth to her son Stephen in August 2007, her focus shifted from lesbian society to motherhood, and so Out with Baby was born. Later, as Stephen became a toddler, the column grew up to become Out with Mommy, joined by a companion blog by the same name. The column Out with Mommy, now featured exclusively on SheWired.com, delves into the joys, challenges and unique aspects of being a gay parent. In a more free-flowing form, the blog also shares tales and tidbits about life as a gay mom, along with news, features, opinion and musings with regular (at least weekly) updates. Both the column and blog also offer reviews and gift guides featuring products made by companies that support our families. |

Yes, and unfortunately the floppy interface was down there too, so you had to route a cable through Hoboken and back just to hook up the floppy drives. The machine was a rebranded Olivetti M24.

Interview Guide for Evaluating Dsm-IV Psychiatric Disorders and the Mental Status Examination
March 30, 2012 | Author: admin | Filed under: interview
Interview Guide for Evaluating Dsm-IV Psychiatric Disorders and the Mental Status Examination (9780963382139): Mark Zimmerman: Books
…a pocket-sized reference for interns to help guide them through the interview for the most common psychiatric and personality disorders…filled with helpful hints and suggestions for getting the interview started.
Product Details
- Paperback: 142 pages
- Publisher: Psych Products Pr; 1 edition (January 1994)
- Language: English
- Product Dimensions: 5.9 x 3.9 x 0.4 inches
- Shipping Weight: 3.2 ounces
Customer Reviews
A handy-dandy little notebook.
This interview guide is the perfect companion to the novice practitioner. Zimmerman has condensed the interview sequence of the major disorders so that you can logically follow, and intentionally interview a client.
This book is a little pricey for its size, but the content is A-1.
helpful to anyone trying to diagnose mental illness
This is a highly practical reminder book for conducting mental illness diagnosis interviews. It is well-written and well-organized. Probably will be most useful for medical students and psychiatry residents, but may also help young and possibly even experienced psychiatrists. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".
Interview Guide
This is a must have for the beginning counselor. It offers an excellent comparison of disorders allowing for a quicker diagnosis, together with questions to pose to clients to verify/eliminate possible disorders.
Must have for all clinicians
This is a great tool for all clinicians. It would also be helpful to those that are not in the mental health field as well. I cannot say enough great things about this book. It breaks down the DSM into questions and an interview. The questions are simple, apply to all patients, and makes diagnosing easy.
Very informative guide
I got an impression that this book was going to be difficult to follow but all the contrary. This book has helped me in my clinical assessment with clients and is very useful for quick references on specific psychiatric disorders.
Easy to follow, helpful questions,
and it got my 4 stars despite the downfall I find so typical in every DSM I read.
The positives first. The questions provided will definitely help beginning therapists, etc, access enough information to begin formulating a diagnostic picture. In my experience, clients range from open to guarded, chatty to quiet. The one constant is the time it takes for clients to develop trust. I never get exactly what I need to make an informed eval within the first few sessions without precise information. I ask the questions, and then ask them to give me an example. The criteria necessary to justify a label is concrete….How often..?..What are the triggers…? When….? How much……? What reduces…..?
The problem I have with this and all DSM's is the weak framework within which Axis II factors are diagnosed. No matter how many texts I read, Personality Disorder's are very difficult to diagnose, and often imitate each other on many levels. This Manual doesn't explain how many boundaries are blended, and behavioral/etc, histories are similar.
Still, if you are learning to become an effective diagnostician, I think this book provides a perfect way to access info.

The coaching carousel continues at Arkansas State, with Bryan Harsin leaving after one season, the third year in a row the Red Wolves have lost their coach to another school after just one season. Harsin will take over as head coach at Boise State, where he was an offensive coordinator for five years from 2006-2011.
Arkansas figures in the following national count.
The New York Times reports on legislative action in the year since the gun slaughter in Newton, Ct.
Of 109 new state gun laws, 39 tighten regulation and 70 loosen regulation.
Arkansas has: 1) made concealed carry permits secret; 2) by some nutters' interpretation totally removed restriction on carrying of a weapon; 3) allowed guns in churches; 4) allowed guns at private church schools; 5) opened the door to guns on college campuses by vote of trustees;
Bullet Bob Ballinger has, so far, failed in his effort to pass a state nullification statute, the Orval E. Faubus Memorial Gun Act. But more legislative sessions await.
Feel safer?
Tim Horton and Randy Fichtner
BTW, there will be Constitutional Carry walks in both Conway and Maumelle on December 21st…

"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
Yeah, that sounds about right.
When you have someone as indescribable as Paula, where words in virtually any language just don't do her justice, English, Portuguese, Rhymes or otherwise… you just have to get creative… and you still won't come close to fully describing all that is Paula Labaredas.
Paula is seen here at Eleanor Jean Botique in Sherman Oaks, having fun as always, and looking beautiful while she's at it… as always
I'm not gonna say that she stole the show… again… but she did… again. Are you getting used to this yet?
Well you better, because over these last few weeks, the overwhelming response from around the world is that Paula Labaredas is here to stay. And why wouldn't she? And why would you want her to do otherwise?
So thank you Paula, once again, for spicing up Red Carpets. For making meaningless events overwhelming… And for being the dream that never exists.
You are what words cannot describe… In other words…
"We Don't Think You're Beautiful…
We Think You're Beyond It"

Ashley Tisdale decided to treat herself today, by stopping at a corner in Sherman Oaks just off Coldwater Canyon and Riverside that's apparently loaded with all sortsa interesting "Treats".
She first stopped by "Cafe Treats" to pick herself up some form of caffeinated morning libation.
Then she managed to oh so conveniently walk herself next door to "Treats For The Face", which is not only a Spa and a Salon, but get this, it's a frickin Clothing Botique too !!!
Holy Crap !!
And if that wasn't enough, they're apparently a partnership business run by the same peeps, so you don't even have to walk out of Cafe Treats to go to "Treats For The Face", cause there's a walkway that connects both establishments.
Then you can even walk your a$$ back next door, through the walkway, with your coffee, and you too can get your a$$ waxed, cause they have their own Self-Proclaimed "(A)Esthitician To The Stars", ready to rip you to shreds. Esthitician to the Stars…
Possibly even for Ashley Tisdale? Hmm…

When children play, they often immerse themselves in make-believe worlds of their own creation. Photographer and musician David Niles was inspired to create fantasy montages of his son Nate, now 9, while watching him with his favorite toys. "I was inspired by his imagination and what kind of imaginary worlds he was interested in," he tells Yahoo! Shine. "I wanted to put him into those worlds." When he embarked on the series two years ago, Niles says he was looking at a lot of 19th century photography and wanted to mimic the sepia tones and blurred quality of that era. The photographs were produced with a digital camera and Photoshop and he layered in scanned pages from an 1803 encyclopedia that were stained and buckled to add texture. As for Nate, he's more interested in the activity than the images. "We were in a bookstore one day and I showed him a photography magazine that included his picture," says Niles. "He said, 'Eh, I guess I'm famous' and wandered away." -Sarah B. Weir,

By Sarah B. Weir, Shine Senior Writer | Parenting – Wed, Aug 7, 2013 3:49 PM EDTArtist Carra Sykes, 25, says she's alway been close to her mother, but her photo series Mother + Daughter has deepened their relationship. "Over the past 3 or 4 years I have become super interested in exploring collaborative work," she told Yahoo! Shine. "I thought it would be a new way for my mom and I to bond if I could bring her into a creative collaboration. She has been more than supportive throughout our work. I admit, I can be a bit bossy while shooting the photos because my perfectionist side gets a little louder, but she is humble and kind throughout it all." Sykes says she started taking photographs of her mother wearing her clothing in 2012, at a time when she was feeling "a little down. I wanted to do something fun and creative. It started as a small, lighthearted photo series and kept growing." Sykes says that people have always said she looks her mom-and her mother is known wearing her cast off clothing, especially her old concert t-shirts-but what animates the series is

By Sarah B. Weir, Shine Senior Writer | Work + Money – Tue, Aug 6, 2013 3:20 PM EDTWhile many guests swipe a little something from their hotel rooms, British comedian and artist David Bussell does the just the opposite. Since 2006, he's been leaving cheeky messages behind in rooms where he's stayed. Some are ominous, others absurd. Mostly they're simply very funny. "When I was a kid I remember my parents redecorated their house and let me draw cartoons on the plaster before they put up fresh paper," he told Yahoo! Shine. "I was fascinated by the idea of the next tenant stripping it off one day and seeing the pictures I'd left them. I also left a fake suicide note under some floorboards as a teenager, but I'm less proud of that." He usually hides the messages behind mirrors and pictures, to be found by the extremely curious. If he leaves notes out in the open, it's always somewhere that can be easily wiped clean or disposed of. "I'm not into the idea of room service having to clean my mess up after me." He says he's left messages in "England, Scotland, Guatemala,

By Sarah B. Weir, Shine Senior Writer | Beauty – Mon, Aug 5, 2013 6:30 PM EDTSeptember issues of women's magazines are usually big and gutsy, and next month's O Magazine is no disappointment: The cover features Oprah in the biggest, baddest afro since Miss Diana Ross rocked the look back in 1968.
"Wow," was all I could say, jaw slightly slack, when the image popped up in my in box Monday morning. Other Shine staffers wondered if the cover was real or a retouched prank. A quick check on Twitter, where the media mogul tweeted, "Love this cover so much, I'm making it my new avatar," confirmed its realness (in more than one sense of the word), and we all agreed it was perhaps her most fabulous hair look ever -- and she's had many.
"For almost 30 years, I've had the luxury of a hairdresser, Andre Walker, who loves all kinds of hair textures and adores everything," Oprah wrote in her monthly "What I Know for Sure" column. "Hence this month's cover; we call the wig I'm wearing Wild Thang!"

As every parent knows, children love eating sweets. In fact, kids are biologically programmed to crave the taste of sugar. Sweet flavors tell the brain to "eat more" (which is one reason why nutritious mother's milk is sweet). Eating more is one thing for a hunter-gatherer scouring the wilderness for sustenance, but for the average sedentary adult or child, it can be a health disaster. Obesity is linked to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, some forms of cancer, and other chronic health problems.

On Saturday, the 19-year-old Marine noticed 9-year-old Boden Fuchs struggling to complete the race. The boy had become separated from his group. According to the Facebook page, Seal of Honor, which posted a photograph of the pair running together, Boden asked Kerr, "Sir, will you please run with me?" Kerr, wearing boots and fatigues, and carrying a full backpack, stuck with the boy, encouraged him to complete the race, and helped him reunite with his party at the end of the course—even though Kerr was dead last in his age group, clocking in at 35:43 minutes (five seconds behind Boden). He came in so much later than his Marine buddies, in fact, that they were concerned he had been injured.

Humanizing Criminal Justice: Ethical Action at the AEU Assembly
Anne Klaeysen, Leader
New York Society for Ethical Culture
Our inspiration for this year's American Ethical Union (AEU) Assembly programming was Michelle Alexander's book,
The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
click here for more information
). For several years, the National Leaders Council, guided by our Social Justice Caucus, has studied issues impacting the health and well-being of humanity in order to raise our awareness, sharpen our advocacy, and encourage our members to take action. This year, moved by Alexander's personal experience and well-documented analysis, we felt the call to do more.
Here is an excerpt to prove my point:
Jarvious Cotton cannot vote. Like his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather, he has been denied the right to participate in our electoral democracy. Cotton's family tree tells the story of several generations of black men who were born in the United States but who were denied the most basic freedom that democracy promises—the freedom to vote for those who will make the rules and laws that govern one's life. Cotton's great-great-grandfather could not vote as a slave. His great-grandfather was beaten to death by the Ku Klux Klan for attempting to vote. His grandfather was prevented from voting by Klan intimidation. His father was barred from voting by poll taxes and literacy tests. Today, Jarvious Cotton cannot vote because he, like many black men in the United States, has been labeled a felon and is currently on parole.
Unfortunately, Michelle Alexander was unavailable to address us; however, Ernest Drucker was available and his analysis in
A Plague of Prisons: The Epidemiology of Mass Incarceration in America
also made the case. Drucker spoke at our platform on Saturday, June 16, kicking off a day of hearing from other speakers in the area of criminal justice reform and learning about what we could do in our own communities. Another highlight was the National Ethical Service's luncheon speaker former Governor David Paterson, whose work on dropping the infamous Rockefeller drug laws and engaging personality really brought home the importance of community activism.
Friday evening's presentation of the documentary "Zero Percent" about the Hudson Link educational program at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, NY gave the audience an inside view of life behind bars. The presentation included conversation with Brian Fisher, NYS Commissioner of Correctional Services; Sean Pica, Director of Hudson Link; and several graduates. We learned of the obstacles that prisoners must overcome, and the hope, however fragile at times, of receiving an education. Pica, himself a graduate, will make the film available, through the AEU, to Societies wishing to show it in their communities.
I want to acknowledge the generosity of all the presenters who answered our phone calls and emails and pointed us in new directions, asking their colleagues to support our efforts and inspiring us with their hard work and dedication. Clearly, theirs is a labor of love, and that made it one for us, too.
The following is a brief description of the workshops with contact information for the presenters. The goal of this programming was to bring our members into personal contact with people working with prisoners and their families, and to seek out opportunities in their own communities when they returned home. We were most fortunate to hear their stories and share our stories with them. If you were unable to attend, please visit the websites listed below.
What Volunteers Can Do
There are many ways to help inmates and their families: offering visitors basic breakfast food after their often long and arduous trips; donating books to prison libraries, teaching a literacy class, and simply listening with an open heart. There are as many ways as there are needs and caring people willing to meet them.
Marian Farrell, Ossining Prison Ministry (
Dawn Ravella, Director, Mission and Outreach, Reformed Church of Bronxville (
Kate Farren, Drama Coach,
Rehabilitation Through the Arts
) – "RTA was founded in Sing Sing in 1996. Today we work in five New York State prisons with innovative programs in theatre, dance, creative writing, voice and visual art. RTA is dedicated to using the creative arts as a tool for social and cognitive transformation behind prison walls. RTA changes lives!"
Ted Kuhn, Music Teacher, Sing Sing Prison, RTA (
Justice for Juveniles
Nationally, 1 in 3 Black and 1 in 6 Latino boys born in 2001 are at risk of imprisonment during their lifetimes. Boys are five times as likely to be incarcerated as girls, but the number of girls in the juvenile justice system is rising. This rate of incarceration endangers children at younger and younger ages, forming what is called "a cradle to prison pipeline." We can make a difference in these children's lives now!
Marianne Kennedy, University of Vermont: Policy Research Center and Vermont Center for Clinical and Transitional Science (
Anne Klaeysen, Leader, New York Society for Ethical Culture (
) NYSEC ran a series of conferences on "Justice for Juveniles: A Call to Ethical Action!" and has partnered with the Osborne Association to provide remote televisitation for incarcerated parents and their children.

The Gathering for Justice

Correctional Association of NYC
) Here is also a link to her article on
"When the Cure Makes You Ill: Seven Core Principles to Change the Course of Youth Justice."
Education and the Arts
Lives are transformed every day in small classrooms behind prison walls. Programs providing education and life skills, participation in the arts, and re-entry support help the incarcerated make a positive impact on their own lives, families, and communities.
Sean Pica, Executive Director,
Hudson Link
) "Hudson Link was founded when state and federal funding for college education in prisons stopped. In 1998, inmates at Sing Sing Correctional Facility reached out to religious and academic volunteers for help. The loss of a college program was having a devastating effect on prison morale. The volunteers responded. Under the leadership of Dr. Anne Reissner, Hudson Link for Higher Education in Prison was founded to restore college education at Sing Sing through private funding. We are a link, connecting the prison administration, our educational partners and you—our supporters—making it possible for incarcerated men and women to experience the transformative power of education."
Javier Cardona, Arts and Education Director, RTA (
) (See above for website.)
Max Kenner, Founder and Executive Director,
Bard Prison Initiative
) "The Bard Prison Initiative (BPI) creates the opportunity for incarcerated men and women to earn a Bard College degree while serving their sentences. The academic standards and workload are rigorous, based on an unusual mix of attention to developmental skills and ambitious college study. The rate of post-release employment among the program's participants is high and recidivism is stunningly low. By challenging incarcerated men and women with a liberal education, BPI works to redefine the relationship between educational opportunity and criminal justice."
The Experience Inside and Re-entry
There is no preparation for life behind bars; one enters alone and learns how to survive. Everything is reduced to basics, calling upon inner resources and outside support. Challenges that many inmates faced in their communities (lack of education, economic hardship, and mental health issues) also challenge the rehabilitation resources of prisons.
John Conyers, Executive Director,
Saving Our Society
) "SOS dedicates itself to promoting second chances, preventing and reducing crime and achieving success over recidivism and stereotyping through advocacy, education, employment, volunteerism and service."
Kathy Boudin, Director, Criminal Justice Initiative Supporting Children, Families and Communities, School of Social Work, Columbia University
Children of the Incarcerated
When a parent enters prison, children are abandoned, their lives forever changed. There are programs available that help children overcome stigma and isolation to achieve their full potential through counseling, support groups, mentoring and supervised visitation. Broken families can heal, and we can help.
Elizabeth Gaynes, Executive Director,
Osborne Association
) "The Osborne Association offers opportunities for individuals who have been in conflict with the law to transform their lives through innovative, effective, and replicable programs that serve the community by reducing crime and its human and economic costs. We offer opportunities for reform and rehabilitation through public education, advocacy, and alternatives to incarceration that respect the dignity of people and honor their capacity to change."
Kathy Boudin – (See above for contact information.)
Legislative Issues
There are policies and procedures that our states and nation can adopt to foster a more effective, efficient and humane criminal justice system and a safer, more just society. Relying only on imprisonment as a response to crime is costly and counterproductive. It fails to take into account the human capacity to change and continues to punish people long after their sentences have been served by denying them the right to vote. Learn how to advocate for reform through legislation.
Glenn Martin, Vice-President of Development and Public Affairs and Director, David Rothenberg Center for Public Policy,
Fortune Society
– c/o assistant John Runowicz (
) "The Fortune Society's mission is to support successful reentry from prison and promote alternatives to incarceration, thus strengthening the fabric of our communities."
Evan Goldstein, Policy Coordinator,
Drug Policy Alliance
) "The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is the nation's leading organization promoting alternatives to current drug policy that are grounded in science, compassion, health and human rights. . . DPA is actively involved in the legislative process and seeks to roll back the excesses of the drug war, block new, harmful initiatives, and promote sensible drug policy reforms. As a result of our work, hundreds of thousands of people have been diverted from incarceration to drug treatment programs, hundreds of thousands of sick and dying patients can safely access their medicine without being considered criminals under the law, and states like California have saved more than $2.5 billion by eliminating wasteful and ineffective law enforcement, prosecution and prison expenditures."
Law Enforcement Perspective
Neighborhoods flourish when people feel safe to leave their homes, travel to work and school, and enjoy social relationships. Crime threatens lives, property, health and safety. We rely upon law enforcement institutions to protect us, and many people put their own lives at risk to do so. In order to change the negative aspects of law enforcement, we need to appreciate its positive aspects, and engage in a process of understanding that can lead to change.

March 4: McLain Ward tops third WEG show jumping selection trial.
March 6: Canadians win Nations' Cup; Todd Minikus wins fourth WEG show jumping selection trial.
Photo Gallery
Wellington, Fla., March 7, 2010 -- What an incredible five days it's been in Palm Beach County for anyone who loves watching horses compete at the highest level in show jumping and dressage.
That would include me, of course. I shuttled between the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center for the Nations' Cup and the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games show jumping trials, and the Palm Beach Dressage Derby down the road in Loxahatchee. What a privilege to be able to see everything, and tell all of you about it.
Sometimes, though, expectations of these big competitions can lead to a letdown if they're not up to snuff. But today's fifth and last show jumping trial, combined with a $150,000 grand prix, was a thrilling finish to an action-packed week.
Laura Kraut, who got a "bye" with Cedric for the trials after being fault-free in the first two of the five-part series, turned on the gray gelding's speed for a victory in the CN U.S. Open.
She was practically a blur as she gained a 0.15-second edge over the 48.19-second time set Danny Boy, ridden by Beezie Madden, who is likely to be her teammate on the show jumping squad at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games this fall.
Cedric streaked through the jump-off, for which only six of the 56 first-round starters had qualified.
"I never let him go like that, and I almost lost control of him after the double. He was freaking out because he was like, 'What is she doing?'" Laura laughed, saying she had never ridden him faster. I was interested to learn it was only her second grand prix victory with the plucky little guy, since she usually is doing selection trials or competing in the Olympics or Nations' Cups with him.
This has been a difficult few weeks for Laura, who won the 2008 Olympic selection trials with Cedric before going on to take a team gold medal at the Games in Hong Kong.
Peter Wetherill, with whom she owned Cedric, died last month. On the morning of the first selection trial, Laura had to speak at his funeral. Peter was never far from her thoughts as she went through the trials process. She and I talked about how she wished he could have been there to see his horse excel once again.
Topping the trials roster was another jump-off qualifier, Nicole Shahinian-Simpson, who was far slower in 51.24 seconds on Tristan But that slow clean round put her third, since the three other qualifiers--Jaime Azcarraga of Mexico on Presley Boy and Canadians Beth Underhill (Top Gun) and Mac Cone (Ole) had multiple rails down. Jaime was jolted going over the second part of the double and lost both stirrups with three more fences to go. Undaunted, he kept on trucking and managed to finish the course in a situation that would have left a lesser rider sitting on the ground.
Nicki is getting a lot of support from her husband, Will, who earned a team gold medal at the Hong Kong Olympics. His Games horse was sold, so he's on the sidelines helping out his wife and thinking about the 2012 Olympics with horses he is bringing along. Talk about a family with riding talent; it will be interesting to see what their kids do.
Tristan and Nicki are perhaps the most exciting combination to come out of the trials. This is a really special horse.
"I'm thrilled with his progress," Nicki said. "He gained a lot of experience through the trials and I think as a combination horse/rider we've learned a lot about each other."
Everyone was wildly complimentary about the courses built by the gifted Guilherme Jorge of Brazil. I've never ridden one of his routes (he apparently doesn't design any using cross-rails) but I feel as if I understand what he's doing and get a great feeling seeing how he tests horses without stressing them.
For this course, he thought in retrospect he might have been too generous with the time allowed; he would have sliced off two seconds from the time allowed if he had to do it again. But how can you beat having six in the jump-off from such a big field? I told you about a line I liked from trial 4, so I'll mention two from this one. Coming off fence 4, an aqueduct topped by rails past the in-gate (Laura is jumping it in the lead photo) it was six strides to an triple combination that was one stride oxer to oxer, and two strides oxer to vertical on the long side of the arena.

At last RAIN! Oh, and some banging, flashing and booming to go with it. But we really need rain so we'll take the thunderbooming without complaint. It was getting hotter and hotter and the hoomidity was really getting to me awhile ago. Now I can feel the cool breeze coming through. Yeah!
Ron went to bed at like 9. What's up with that?
I started sewing the "tree" part of the pieced border blocks. Hope I don't distort the whole thing, that would not be a good thing. But I had to start somewhere. I have decided to go with the mauvey color rayon thread. But I knew I wouldn't like to have one thread over the whole thing, so that's why I'm doing the trees. I stopped for a bit while the bangs were really close.
Guess I could go get some more done.
Oh I just remembered — this weekend is the Scottish Games up in Altamont. LOL – nothing like a good soaking rain to turn the Altamont fairgrounds into a mud hole! Ask me how I know!
Don't even know if I'll end up there this weekend. Bummer.

Trojans Ranked No. 3 In Collegiate Baseball Division II Preseason Poll
Mount Olive earned a preseason top five national ranking for the second straight year, coming in at No. 3 in the 2013 Collegiate Baseball Division II Preseason Poll, as voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association. The Trojans were ranked No. 5 in last year's preseason poll and spent three weeks at No. 1 during the regular season.
Mount Olive posted a 44-10 record last year and played host to the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional for the second consecutive year as the Trojans won their third straight Conference Carolinas championship. The Trojans were 21-5 in conference play in 2012.
The Trojans return seven of 11 All-Conference Carolinas players from last year, including an All-America and two starting pitchers.
Senior catcher Geno Escalante was a consensus first team All-America in 2012 and was named Daktronics Southeast Region Player of the Year. Escalante enters the 2013 season on a 46-game hitting streak, tied for the fourth longest in Division II baseball history. He led the nation with 98 hits last year and was among the national leaders with a .436 batting average and 70 runs batted in.
Senior shortstop Mike Mercurio was a third team All-America in 2012 and ranked third on the team with 56 runs batted in. Mercurio set a school single-game record for most rbi's by a leadoff batter, driving in seven runs against Lenoir-Rhyne. He also drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th in the Trojans' 5-4 win over Pfeiffer in the second round of last year's Conference Carolinas Tournament.
Junior right-hander Matt Dillon was the 2012 Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Year, posting a 9-2 record with a 2.81 earned run average. Junior left-hander Zach Smith was 8-2 with a 2.20 ERA and was named to the last year's All-Conference Carolinas first team.
The Trojans return three additional All-Conference Carolinas selections: outfielders Will Bynum and Braden Reitano and third baseman Jermaine Berry.
Mount Olive collected 608 points in the poll, finishing only six points behind No. 2 Delta State (Miss.). West Chester (Pa.), which defeated Delta State in last year's national championship game at Cary, N.C., topped the poll with 628 points.
The Trojans' 2013 schedule includes contests against four teams ranked in the Preseason Top 40: No. 7 Francis Marion, No. 13 Catawba, No. 21 Le Moyne and No. 38 Armstrong (Ga.). Mount Olive also faces three non-conference teams that received votes in the poll, California (Pa.), Wingate and Winston-Salem State. In addition, the Trojans will have conference games against vote-getters Belmont Abbey, Erskine and King.
Mount Olive opens its season February 2-3 with a three-game non-conference series at Lenoir-Rhyne. The Trojans' next eight dates, which include three doubleheaders, are all at Scarborough Field.
Mount Olive and Town of Cary will co-host the NCAA Division II Baseball National Finals for the fifth consecutive year, and have been awarded the National Finals through 2015. The 2013 National Finals take place May 25-June 1 at USA Baseball National Training Complex.

When a patch of unwanted grass discolors a putting green, it can cause headaches for golf course managers and for the sod farmers who supply them. But a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientist has developed a tool to help minimize the damage.
Putting greens in the southern United States are made up of single cultivars of bermudagrass, and the appearance of non-uniform plants, or "off-types," can throw off the green's appearance and "playability." Karen Harris-Shultz, a geneticist with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Crop Genetics and Breeding Research Unit in Tifton, Ga., has refined the process for telling one type of bermudagrass from another. This will help identify the source of unwanted off-types. ARS is USDA's principal intramural scientific research agency.

5th ranked Lions run record to 3-0
by Joseph BirminghamThe Nittany Lions continued to dominate all opponents with a 31-6 victory over Temple today. Detractors mention the Lions have an easy schedule this year, but there is nothing Penn State can do except go out there each week and win. I said before Paterno is not the type to run it up as many college coaches do. Frankly he has little to prove, and little to protect as he recently signed a 3 year contract extension to stay in happy valley until all his fans and past players are old enough to retire !
Royster came back to his previous form today, rushing for 134 yards and a touchdown and Daryl Clark had an average (for him) afternoon, throwing for 2 touchdowns and an interception. His QB rating actually dropped from 166 to 161. Temple mounted a decent offense against the Lions, and outplayed them for the first half. Like many other games I have watched, the Lions simply out talented the competition and slowly pulled away until the game was out of reach. Statistically, the teams performed somewhat equally, but where it counts, the score, belonged to Penn State.
Next week is the first real test for this team. They play Iowa and will attempt to avenga a loss from last year that kept them out of national championship contention. They have actually lost 6 of the last 7 games against this team so it should be an interesting matchup One thing is for sure, they will have to pull out all the stops and play to win, and pour it on when they get ahead, because Iowa has a team that can come back. After that, only Ohio State looms as a serious road block for Penn State. They are 3-0 true, but just about everyone who follows college sports expected them to be here. Now if they go 4-0 the talk will start about their ranking, and their remaining schedule.
From what I have seen so far, this team has the talent and coaching to do it. now let us see if they have the will to make their dream a reality.
Got something to say?

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- The Amarillo Veterans Affairs Health Care System hosted a Homeless Summit Wednesday morning.
The VA Homeless Program came together with other local agencies to discuss services the community offers to Amarillo's homeless community and how the VA can coordinate with them to help aid homeless veterans. By working with local groups, the VA aims to identify more homeless veterans and aid them through programs like housing support services and employment or job training.
"I think it's a problem in that people may not know. I think that when people find out that there are homeless veterans, people who have served our country, people who have stepped up and defended our country that it's important for us to know that we're there for them and we're taking care of them", said Director of the Amarillo VA Health Care System, Andrew Welch.
Wednesday's meeting was the second summit held at the Amarillo VA.

NEW YORK — Giving letter grades to the thousands of restaurants in New York City – from humble delis to celebrity chef-powered eateries – has been a boon to business and has led to a decline in the number of cases of salmonella food poisoning, the mayor and health officials said Tuesday.
Some city council members, however, say the grading system is far from perfect and needs to be reviewed. Restaurant industry representatives complain of excessive inspections and burdensome fines on small businesses.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas A. Farley and other health officials announced initial data Tuesday showing salmonella infections decreased by 13.5 percent over the first full year the city has used letter grades. The Health Department said 1,296 cases of salmonella were reported in 2010 and preliminary data show 1,121 cases in 2011.
Further emphasizing that sanitary conditions are improving, the officials said more than 72 percent of the city's 24,000 restaurants earned "A" grades compared to 65 percent a year ago. They also highlighted the most recent tax data available showing restaurant sales were up 9.3 percent from June 2010 to February 2011.
"It just may be that clean kitchens are as good for business as clean air is when a restaurant is smoke-free," Bloomberg said at a news conference held at Zero Otto Nove in the Bronx.
The city started handing out letter grades in July 2010. Restaurants can get an A, B, or C, based on points for sanitary conditions. Restaurants have to post the grades in a visible area such as a street-facing window or door. Common sanitary violations include food stored at improper temperatures and evidence of vermin.
The largely positive announcement, which included the release of survey results showing New Yorkers largely approve of the grading system, came a day before the City Council was expected to hold a hearing on restaurant letter grades.
Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn, who supports the system, was nonetheless critical of it, saying in a statement Tuesday that the city's data show "a wide variability" in grades from "inspector to inspector in the same restaurant and an enormous increase in fines."
The Health Department officials said fines have been declining as restaurants improve their food safety practices. Inspectors go through rigorous training and must use computerized inspection worksheets for each restaurant, they said.
"If you define success as taxing small business owners and making their lives miserable, then letter grades have been a complete success," Rigie said in an email, adding that the association that represents 4,000 restaurants in the city hopes the City Council "will take a more enlightened approach toward public health."
Restaurants can contest inspection findings at an administrative tribunal and have their grades changed, during which time a "grade pending" sign appears in place of the letter grade. Repeatedly receiving a "C" grade on inspections leads to an increased frequency of inspections.
Problems so severe that they cannot be corrected while an inspector is there – such as insufficient refrigeration – could put a restaurant at risk of being shut down.
City officials also announced Tuesday that the restaurant grades are now available on an app for iPhones and iPads called ABCEats NYC.
Associated Press writer Samantha Gross in New York contributed to this report.

Tucson- It has been six months since Isabel Celis disappeared from her east side home. Her seventh birthday has come and gone and still no sign of her.
Her parents told investigators they last saw her before she went to bed on Friday, April 20th and reported her missing the next morning. A massive search ensued, one that made national headlines.
Tucson police reported receiving more than 1,000 tips but all came up empty.
As the months have gone by Rebecca and Sergio Celis continue to struggle with not knowing what happened to their daughter.
At this point they admit they have grown very frustrated with the investigation, one that has even cast suspicion over Sergio Celis. "I can't understand at the six month point how they have absolutely nothing, to have nothing, and if it was me, why wouldn't they have me gone already, I'm not afraid to say that", Celis said, "Even Becky (Rebecca Celis) says it to everyone, c'mon, when are we going to move on this, digging in the same hole. Can we get out there, because she is not here, in the first three days of the investigation of staying here, she's not here, she hasn't been here since the moment she has been gone from this house."
Rebecca Celis says they now have very little contact with the police and their frustration is reaching the breaking point, "Its very frustrating", she said, "it's hard to not know where the investigation is."
But a half a year later and the Celis' have not lost hope. Isabel's bedroom has been repainted and there's a new bike waiting. Rebecca Celis says she knows that one day her daughter will return, "I know that she is alive, I don't know how to explain it. She is alive, she is somewhere out there. and that I think that is a harder thing to find than a person who is not."
Right now there are two detectives working the case full time.
Tucson's police chief says if additional detectives are needed to act on a tip, they pull in additional resources, and agencies including the FBI, and U.S. Marshals.
If you have any information call 88-crime.

text: This is the Hip Hop that I love, songs that are filthy, based on aggression, bravado, and unpretty subject matter like, how much better I am then you, and how I'll gladly prove it if you push the issue - the everyday things that test our limits, that bring out the ugly side No matter what music I throw down, I am still a HIP HOP BATTLE DJ, a member of the 5P. Thats where my roots lie and skills come from, dont get it twisted. And my crewmates, they didnt win all those battles by holding each others hands and taking windy walks in the park. We took those aspects of negativity, and channeled them into stylish behind kicking. And when we took some lickin ourselves, we still got up and kept it movin. There will be many an experience in your life that will leave you in a negative state, but how you react in those situations - thats what separates the movers and shakers. I get tested on the regular, because of my youthful appearance, because of my good nature. People often mistake kindness for weakness. When I used to DJ in Brooklyn, the unfortunate uninitiated would only see this "chinese" guy (even though I'm about as chinese as a dominican dude is puerto rican) behind the tables. "Whats this young cat know about music??"... Ahh, how I love to surprise and open eyes... They often say that great art comes from pain and struggle, and the songs on this CD, they take the ugliness of this world, and make something beautiful out of it. This one is dedicated to those who continue making things lovely, to NYC, and to you real Hip Hop fans.

Ah, good catch! This would certainly explain it, since the version string appears in the assembler source via the .ident directive the compiler always adds ... I guess one could try to change the testsuite scripts to ignore .ident for scan-assembler purposes. But a much simpler fix seems to be to just not add the branch name to the version string when building the compiler in the first place; since those compilers are just used for testing, it doesn't really seem necessary. Michael, any thoughts on this?

The Miami Valley Gaming & Raceway plans to hire more than 500 people, beginning Wednesday. The Warren County racino plans to open December 12, 2013.
Job openings range from food and drink service to IT, finance, human resources, marketing.
A job fair is set for Wednesday, July 10 from 4-7 p.m. at Workforce One of Warren County. Applicants should bring a resume and apply in-person.
Warren County leaders have some big decisions to make about how to fill the soon to be vacated Lebanon Raceway.
Warren County Commissioners have approved plans for developing a $175 million racino in Turtlecreek Township. The facility will combine harness racing with up to 2,500 video lottery terminals. It'll be located on State Route 63 at Union Road. The current Lebanon Raceway will move to the new site.
It's a joint venture of Churchill Downs and Delaware North Companies Gaming and Entertainment, which have formed a new company, Miami Valley Gaming and Racing, to develop and operate the racino.

"'Unfortunately,' the authors write midway through the book, 'it may be years -- if ever -- before anyone knows how much damage Cunningham, Wade and Wilkes did to national security, how many lives were put at risk or lost on the streets of Iraq, how much money was diverted to their pockets instead of going toward achieving the victory over terrorism that all three men said they desired.' Indeed, that is, at root, what makes the subject important and the book worth reading. It isn't merely the profile of a public servant who brazenly traded his position for money and extravagant (and often tawdry) gifts. It also suggests that such misdeeds have consequences that go far beyond one former hero's ethical collapse -- consequences in risked lives that have yet, if ever, to be revealed."
"The book paints a vivid picture of Cunningham as a fundamentally flawed individual, with an oversized ego, an insatiable appetite for material wealth and a complete lack of ethical standards
.Scholars, reporters and reformers have for decades been highlighting the corrupt practices used to divvy up the federal budget. But despite treading on well-worn ground, this book is insightful in its close examination of the process of earmarking for intelligence contracts, and the game played by defense contractors to enrich themselves at government expense."
"The book is the Cunningham scandal from A to Z -- following from Duke's childhood to his guilty plea, and following the (alleged) bribes from Brent Wilkes' or Mitchell Wade's pocket to the harassed contracting officer in the Pentagon who was to make sure that the contractors got their money. And the book is bursting with details, a number of them new and unforgettable."
