IndieInk, The Deep, Whatnot Comments (1)
I have a history of ambition. Superficially, this history appears to be replete with success and the happiness that generally accompanies it. I have a lot of framed stuff from people and places, some of it signed by individuals thanking me or wishing me luck in the next whatever. Others are awards or their reminders, received for being better than others in one small and ultimately insignificant way or another. If the truth be known, awards in my previous profession had more to do with writing than with reality; the better one could plausibly combine the two, the more decorated the individual.
Ambition was my downfall and ultimately, ironically, my salvation. I became a dynamo of self-destruction, while excelling in every single thing I did by virtue of staying later, working harder, doing more, etc. The universe stepped in, thankfully, and shined a light on my misgivings. Success was how I had always intended to separate myself from a childhood that I desperately wanted to leave behind. It was a remarkably absurd goal for a laundry list of reasons and I owe the universe a beer for helping me to see the flaws in my thinking.
As I've said here before, however, self-awareness can be a double-edged sword. My youth made me a pessimist and my adulthood a cynic, but exiting on the far side of addiction(s) and depression allowed me to see myself with a clarity that can at times be a bit disconcerting. I call myself on my own bullshit regularly. I can't abide self-pity, in myself or others. I cut myself no slack. And there, I think, is where I sometimes catch myself once again tipping into the abyss.
I'm a 4th year graduate student involved in medical research. Things are going swimmingly. I publish. I travel to conferences. I win things occasionally. The goal of re-entering academia was to re-engage the mental hamster on its wheel in areas difficult enough to preclude any possibilities of said hamster focusing on anything else. I've channeled my A-type personality into things that are both fulfilling and ridiculously difficult. I solve puzzles for a living, more or less. It's a hoot.
But science is a rather cutthroat community where ambition can be both a equirement and a detriment. When I left the military, I swore that I would never again lose the balance between what mattered and what didn't. And yet, recently, I've started to feel familiar pangs of fatigue and mental exhaustion. The warning signs have started to make themselves glow a shade of red that I haven't seen for many years. I'm starting to worry and to push myself about a future that I think I have some sort of control over, despite documented evidence to the contrary. When I get this way, I live in a black and white world: There is success and there is failure and nothing in between. I have to publish more. I have to get this grant. I have to be all things to all people (except to myself, of course).
So, yes. I do catch myself falling into old habits and and am both capable and willing to call myself on the piles of horseshit that I shovel upon my own head from time to time. But the balancing act is difficult, bordering on impossible. My girlfriend's step-father, who's been a exceptional pastor for eons on top of decades, asked me over coffee one morning around the holidays, 'What do you do for fun?' The question stumped me. Fun isn't a thing I do anymore and haven't for a few years now. All the sports, all the climbing and hiking, everything that I might label with the 'fun' tag has been pushed aside. It made me think how handy it would be to have an older pastor follow me around asking the kinds of innocuous questions that end up making me look at them like they're speaking mandarin.
Life for me, as for all addicts (there are no 'former' addicts), is one of constantly walking a tightrope. There is ambition and then there is obsession. I'm not a good judge of where the middle ground is between the two. The rope represents to the present, which is really and truly all that matters. Yet it's the past that we carry and the uncertain future that unbalance. It pays to know the person walking the tightrope, but I do so with the understanding of how precarious the situation is and will always continue to be.
For the IndieInk Writing Challenge this week, The Lime challenged me with "Walking the tightrope" and I challenged Allyson with "'When does the fun start?', he asked, blood dripping slowly from the knife in his right hand."

"Mya and Her Moms" is a 10-week video series from CafeMom Studios featuring Florida lesbian moms Lisa and Laura and their eight-year-old daughter Mya. The videos give us a charming look at a lovely family—and the positive depiction of an LGBT family on a mainstream parenting site always has tremendous value. The way the site is positioning the videos, however, is a bit problematic.
The videos themselves are a wonderful look at the family, showing not only their daily activities, but also the things that are unique to LGBT-headed families, like coming out stories and having to do a second-parent adoption for the nonbiological parent.
I also like that it is not until nearly five minutes into the first video that we find out how they created their family. Too many profiles of LGBT families lead with this, as if it is the most important fact about us. Truth is, our family creation often makes for a good story, but it is seldom the defining part of our ongoing lives. CafeMom gets points for their handling of this.
My concern is with some of the framing of the series. The publicist's e-mail about the show said, "Together, Mya and her parents make up a happy and normal family." I understand the point she is trying to make: that lesbian moms are as good as anyone else at raising kids. That's not a bad thing. At the same time, I cringe a little at terms like "normal." What is "normal"? Are all "normal" families White, suburban, middle-class, two-parent families, like Laura and Lisa's?
Well, no. Not the population as a whole, and not LGBT families in particular. The latest findings from that fount of LGBT demographic wisdom, UCLA's Williams Institute, "debunk popular misconceptions about parenting among same-sex couples, particularly that those raising children are predominantly white, urban and wealthy." (For more on poverty in the LGBT community, see this Williams article.)
And with over one-third of children in the U.S. living with a single parent, two-parent families, while still a majority, have less of a claim to "normal."
Not only that, but the descriptive blurb on the show's site says:
Mya is, in many ways, a typical 8-year-old girl. She takes piano lessons, loves to read, and enjoys the girl scouts. She has two parents who love her and want the best for her. What's not so typical, is that both her parents are moms. Take a peek into the daily lives of Lisa, Laura and their daughter Mya, and see if you can spot the differences between this family and any other.
While Mya seems happy and well adjusted, I dislike applying the term "typical" to anyone. Do all (or even most) eight-year-old girls take music lessons, love to read, and enjoy Girl Scouts? Of course not—but if Mya is "typical," does that make those who are unlike her "not typical"? There's a fine line between "not typical" and "not normal," and then a fast slope down to "something wrong with."
But I'm a lesbian who doesn't play softball, so maybe I just have a thing against the word "typical."
I'm also scratching my head over the line, "see if you can spot the differences between this family and any other." Assuming they know viewers will quickly spot the fact that there are two moms here, are they asking them to take a more careful look at the differences, like the fact that one mom had to petition for legal rights? Or are they asking the question like a challenge, because they believe there really aren't any differences to spot?
If the former, that's all well and good. If the latter (as I suspect, based on what the videos emphasize), then they're glossing over the fact that some families are poor, or wealthy, or are families of color, or multiracial families, or have a member who is differently abled, or have multiple children, or have only one parent, or have a grandparent living with them, or don't have a dog, or. . . .
Perhaps they really mean "see if you can spot the differences in love and affection between this family and any other" (assuming we exclude outliers like abusive parents). That would make sense, and if it's what they meant, it's commendable. A little clarity on the point, however, would reduce the risk of flattening out the varied texture of family differences and perpetuating the myth that all lesbian and gay parents are White, middle class, and coupled, and that that defines "normal."
The bottom line is that these are very well done videos, and well worth watching, despite some unintentionally dubious framing by the marketing folks. CafeMom is to be commended for creating them, and for their support of lesbian moms. I hope the videos show viewers what life is like for this one lesbian family and help them realize that children can thrive with lesbian parents. Perhaps they will even inspire some of their lesbian viewers to start families of their own. Laura, Lisa, and Mya deserve our thanks for letting us have a glimpse into their lives.
We all need to be careful, though, that in our drive to spread acceptance of LGBT families we don't create a "normal" that excludes vast stretches of our community. After all, if we aren't going to champion diversity, who is?
There are five episodes that have aired so far, with new ones appearing each Wednesday. Watch below.

By Kayla Regan - The Hutchinson News - email@example.com
Thursday's lunch at Lincoln Elementary was turkey sandwiches, cucumbers, pears and sweet potato tater-tots. Much like in September, when the lunch was pizza quesadillas, steamed carrots and salad, many students either refused the vegetables or the produce items wound up in the trash.This school year, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act mandated that school lunches offer set amounts of fruits, vegetables, grains and proteins - often resulting in less protein and grains and more fruits and vegetables. While scrutiny from the media, politicians and parents has died down since September, Jennifer Gardner, USD 308 nutrition director, said kids' eating habits have mostly stayed the same.
"District-wide, they are throwing away of lot of the fruits and vegetables provided on the tray," she said.
"I honestly think the kids just need more education on the importance of eating fruits and vegetables," she said.
She may have a point. As 55 Lincoln Elementary students made their way through the lunch line, Lisa Navarro, assistant baker at the school, had to explain to students several times that the green disks in the tray were cucumbers.
"A lot of the kids can't tell the difference," Navarro said.
Gardner said that schools with the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable snack program are doing better than schools without them. She has applied for funding in most of the USD 308 schools for next year. She said healthy eating needs to be reinforced outside of the lunchroom and in classrooms and homes, where peer pressure and limited time may prevent students from making healthy choices.
"I don't think lunchrooms are the place for true education. It's chaotic," she said.
Reinforcing healthy eating has been a major focus at Nickerson Elementary School.
On Friday, staff members and students gathered for their Food Revolution day. The idea came last year from celebrity chef and healthy eating advocate Jamie Oliver. Wearing grass skirts and hula leis, students spent the day playing trivia games about where food comes from, performing skits about fun activities to do over the summer, and enjoying a yogurt bar with fruit and cereal toppings. Spearheaded by district nurse D'ana Heinlein and food service secretary Amber Sue Rohling, Friday's activities were part of a larger plan to make students healthier, they said. So far, while not every student is on board, many are on their way to healthier lifestyles.
"It's becoming more normal," Heinlein said.
"It's about keeping at it and we'll see progress every year."
Like Lincoln Elementary, Nickerson Elementary also has a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable snack program. The school also has a cookbook of recipes from students and staff members, is a Healthy Eating and Active Living Reno County partner, and offers after-school Zumba-style classes. Altogether, it's making a difference, they said. At the school cookout, unlike in previous years, students were full after the first helping.
Third-grader Kadin Colle likes eating more fruits and vegetables at lunch, but he still has mixed feelings about the emphasis on healthy food.
"We don't get so much of the sweet stuff," he explained.
But for third-grader Blake Teithman, the changes in school lunches have inspired changes in his home. His parents, he said, are buying more fruits and vegetables.
"My dad and mom think we need to get healthier eating," he said.
Rohling, born and raised in Nickerson, said her children will one day go to the school. Making sure her kids are raised in a healthy environment is a priority.
"That's our passion, to get them to see it is possible to get them to eat healthy," she said.
"It's not nutritious if they're not eating it," Heinlein said.
Whether it's worth wasting produce for the possibility that students may pick up healthier eating habits, when there are cheaper, but unhealthier, staples that kids will eat is a question to which Juanita Williams, the main dish cook at Lincoln, doesn't know the answer.
"There might be a few who pick up on it, but kids like their meat and potatoes," she said.
Healthy eating habits need to start at the home, she said. On Thursday's turkey sandwich day, only a handful of students said they wanted everything on their tray.
"Good for you, kiddo," she said to one of them who did.
Next year's implementation of the HHFK act brings stricter guidelines to school breakfast, requiring menus to include one cup of fruit a day and five cups of fruit per week for all ages.
Whether that will result in more waste, Gardner doesn't know.
But like many students at Lincoln, first-grader Hannah Greene said she can live with the stricter guidelines, although she likes the cookie on her tray more than the fruits and vegetables.
"We're getting older and we have to try things," she explained.

Aberdeen: George Warner Dixon was born in Aberdeen, S.D. at St. Luke's Hospital on April 18, 1950, to Frank and Mary Dixon. George died on Jan. 15, 2012. He enjoyed his childhood of playing baseball, basketball and riding his bike with his neighborhood buddies. George was a talented swimmer and won many ribbons in swim meets. He was an enthusiastic pheasant hunter and he and his dad spent many weekends together finding good places to hunt. As George said many times, I was so lucky to have a perfect childhood.
Every two years, the Dixon family would pile into the car for an exciting vacation to some far-away destination. While these included Miami, New Orleans, Chapel Hill, Washington, New York, Boston, Dallas, Grand Tetons, Denver and Winnipeg, George's favorite aspect of these vacations was when the family stayed at a motel with a swimming pool!
Two years ago, George suffered from a series of mini-strokes, which had a damaging impact on his short-term memory. At that point, he needed to move from living independently to living in the support of Bethesda Home. George's family wishes to thank those staff members at Bethesda who were mindful of his circumstance. Particular thanks to Pastor Vicky Saude-Worthington, Chaplain at Bethesda Home, for her many respectful conversations with George which he appreciated so much.
George enjoyed visits to Sacramento, Calif. to visit his sister, Ginny. While in Sacramento, he also enjoyed spending time with a dear family friend, Joe McCarthy who writes, It was with a heavy heart that I learned of the passing of my dear friend, George Dixon. In his frequent visits to Sacramento he and I would take some time together. He liked to go shopping, especially for candy. He would always choose candy that was sugar-free and, indeed, would bring that to my notice. You see, George knew that he was my friend, but he also knew that I was going to report to Ginny. His favorite stop was Dairy Queen, where the sugar rules were thrown to the wind. What went on in Dairy Queen stayed in Dairy Queen.
I like to think that George was in this world, but not of this world. That twinkle in his eye when he would smile reflected an angelic sincerity and purity. George was asked to carry a heavy burden in life, one that could be frustrating and painful for him at certain times. He had the devoted love and care of his sisters, Kay and Virginia, especially in recent years. Now he is reunited with his loving parents, Frank and Mary Dixon, in the blessed joy of heaven where there are no tears and all are forever young in the Lord. May he rest in peace. (Joseph McCarthy, M.Div.,M.A.)
Surviving George are his sisters; Virginia L. Dixon of Sacramento, Calif. and Kay H. Dixon of Minneapolis; his niece, Cheryl Dixon (Alex Ramirez) and children Rosemary, Carolina and Alejandro of Sacramento and his niece Deborah Martisko (Jeremy Bendewald) and daughter, Avery of Aberdeen, S.D. George appreciated the kinship of his many cousins and aunts and uncles.
In lieu of flowers, the family expresses George's wishes for donations in his memory to Bethesda Home, 1224 South High St., Aberdeen, SD 57401 or to Northeastern Mental Health Center, 703 Southeast 3rd Ave., Aberdeen, SD 5740l.
A memorial service honoring George Warner Dixon will be held during July; an announcement will confirm this by June 30.
George was a wonderful brother and a devoted son. May heaven bless him with good hunting and many motels with swimming pools.
Spitzer-Miller Funeral Home, 1111 S. Main Street, Aberdeen is in charge of arrangements.

Emperor Pu-erh 1998
Pu-erh Tea by Red Blossom Tea Company
Emperor grade pu-erh teas were first crafted as tributary teas for the Chinese emperor. Only fine young leaves were thought worthy for these imperial gifts. While crafted in Menghai County of Yunnan, our 1998 Emperor Pu-erh was acquired from Guangzhou, where the higher humidity gives the tea a thick, smooth quality. A return to the lower humidity Northern California climate in 2006 has slowed the aging process, allowing the tea to develop more complexity over time.
Emperor grade pu-erhs are typically finished as shou or finished teas – a process that mimics the slow gradual aging of sheng pu-erhs. The result is a tea that is slightly malty and rich – with a robust character that brings to mind earth after rain, dried leaves, tobacco and scotch.

ALBANY, N.Y., June 28 (Reuters) - The New York State Bar Association has released a set of proposals it said would reduce costs and delays that routinely arise during federal civil litigation.
In a 125-page report released Thursday, the bar association called for the streamlining of the discovery process and proposed amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that would require the preservation of documents, including those stored electronically, and earlier pretrial conferences.
"The increasing use of technologies -- including email, text messaging, social media and the cloud -- have complicated the discovery process, causing long delays and exorbitant costs in federal litigation," association President Seymour James said in a statement.
Though federal courts may order the preservation of evidence on a case-by-case basis, there is currently no civil procedure rule that creates a duty of preservation. According to the report, the "sheer mass" of emails and other electronic documents typically reviewed during discovery can create confusion, disputes and delays.
The report calls for an amendment to the civil procedure rules that would require parties to "take reasonable actions" to preserve relevant documents. Under the proposal, failure to preserve could result in dismissal of an action.
The report also recommends an amendment to speed up federal litigation by requiring pretrial conferences within 60 days of initial pleading, instead of the current 120 days.
Further, the bar association wants to put an end to a rule that parties create "privilege logs," descriptions of documents withheld during discovery.
Instead, the report recommended a series of guidelines for litigants, including agreeing early on to exclude certain categories of documents from the logs, permitting courts to conduct reviews of small samples of documents instead of reviewing all contested documents, and treating emails and email attachments separately for the purpose of discovery.
"Legal gamesmanship and litigation by attrition must be paradigms of the past," the report says.
The report also urged federal courts to repeal a current requirement mandating production of all documents supporting a party's claims or defenses. Instead, the court should determine if such material should be produced on a case-by-case basis, the report says.
Late last year, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York launched an 18-month pilot program that is testing a number of proposals similar to those in the bar association report. The program requires premotion conferences on most motions as well as that parties submit reports identifying the scope of discovery and how discovery disputes will be settled.

Sri Lankans celebrate Sinhala Tamil New Year in Solidarity |
Tuesday, 15 April 2008 | |
Canadian Democratic Tamil Cultural Association was formed recently by some members of the Tamil community in Toronto in order to promote democracy and pluralism among the Tamils in Ontario, and to foster friendship and understanding with other Sri Lankan communities and the Canadian mainstream. Thereby the Association aims to contribute towards finding a negotiated political settlement that would bring a lasting and peaceful resolution to the conflict in Sri Lanka. One of the ways in which CDTCA tries to achieve its objectives is to organize community and cultural events to bring all Sri Lankans together in a spirit of harmony and goodwill. CDTCA held its first major event on Sunday 13 April 2008 at the Agincourt Collegiate Auditorium in Scarborough. It was a cultural programme to celebrate the Sinhala Tamil New Year. The programme was dubbed "Celebrating Sri Lankan People's Solidarity" and it was well attended by Sri Lankans of all backgrounds. The program featured Kandyan Dance and Bharatha Natyam, and both Sinhala and Tamil music. "Shiners" and "Breeze," two leading Sri Lankan bands based in Toronto provided top musical entertainment to a large gathering comprising of Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, Malays, Burghers and their Canadian friends. Canadian politicians Hon. Bas Balkissoon, Member of Ontario Parliament and Mr. Chin Lee, Toronto City Councillor attended the celebration and addressed the gathering. The full text of the address given by Sam Rajendran, President of the Canadian Democratic Tamil Cultural Association on the occasion is given below: Hon. Bas Balkissoon, M. P. P for Scarborough - Rouge River and Mr. Chin Lee, Councillor for Scarborough East - Rouge River, and my friends - My name is Sam Rajendran, and as President of the Canadian Democratic Tamil Cultural Association, it's my great pleasure to warmly welcome all of you. I thank you all for kindly accepting our invitation and coming out this evening to participate in this unprecedented event. I say unprecedented because, unfortunately in the Diaspora, as we all know, the Sri Lankan communities have been drifting apart. So we decided to hold this event and try to bring everyone together. Many said "it is impossible….it's not going to happen." Well, I have a feeling we have done it. Haven't we? By deciding to come to this event, you have defied views that are deeply entrenched among us in the Diaspora. You have made this event happen. Therefore you are participants in the true sense of the word. You have made a conscious decision to rise above the prejudices that tend to divide us, and for that I salute you. History has shown, time and again, that though forces of fanaticism, intolerance and extremism may dominate in the short run, ultimately it's moderation, reasonableness, and sobriety that prevails. Because human beings – no matter what their backgrounds are – are innately fair-minded, decent and reasonable. Human beings are also pragmatic and rational. No matter what horrendous atrocities are committed – ultimately sanity will prevail. This is what history shows us. There simply is no history of extremism dominating forever. So we of the Canadian Democratic Tamil Cultural Association are unshaken in our belief that this tragic chapter in our history will pass – that the people of Sri Lanka will ultimately find a way to resolve their differences and accommodate each others' concerns. This mutual understanding and adjustment is already reflected in the way they are coping with the ongoing war. One of the positive developments in Sri Lanka today is that more Tamils are living among the Sinhalese in the South than ever before. Ironically this is a consequence of the actions of those who are trying to turn the two communities into hostile camps. A basic truism of social science is that all social action have unintended consequences. So one of the ironies of social changes brought about by the conflict in Sri Lanka is that social interaction between the two communities has increased phenomenally. Tamils who have had little interaction with the Sinhalese in the past are now living side by side with them. So in spite of the conflict, people of all backgrounds, all walks of life somehow manage to get along in Sri Lanka in their day to day lives. In most parts of the country the Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, Malays and Burghers, they all live side by side and they toil together in their fields, factories and offices and in their neighbourhoods. Though the world media portrays otherwise, we - Sri Lankans – know in our hearts we are a caring, civilized society. No one can take that away from us. We no doubt have our difficulties and challenges as any multi-ethnic society does – but we have not lost our humanity. Though we may belong to different communities, as Sri Lankans we all share the joy of living on this beautiful island along with our common predicament: the need to find a way to accommodate each others' concerns. We shall endure. We are a resilient people. This is what we decided to celebrate our solidarity as decent people. And what more fitting occasion than the Sinhala Tamil New Year. This festival reflects the fact that we share common cultural bonds. By celebrating together we are also showing the Canadian mainstream that we are not hopelessly divided by some unbridgeable gap as portrayed by the superficial western media. Finally, the best tribute that we can pay to the ordinary but courageous people of Sri Lanka is to emulate them and live amicably in the Diaspora. We can learn from them how to live together in spite of all the political strife and the negative media hype. We can learn from them how to remain human in the most brutal circumstances; how not to lose one's humanity in the face of the gravest of provocations. In Sri Lanka we live together, work together and struggle together to achieve peace. So why can't we in Canada? Why can't we have a dialogue? In my view, nothing that we do in the Diaspora to promote the well-being of our brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka can be more useful than such a dialogue. But in order to make that contribution, we must not forget even for a moment that we are also Canadians. Yes it's possible to be a Sri Lankan and a Canadian at the same time in today's postmodern world. Under globalization multiple allegiances and trans-national identities are becoming facts of life. I believe it's by exercising our "Canadian-ness" that we can make a positive contribution towards resolving the conflict in Sri Lanka. As Canadians, we are entitled to the rights and freedoms guaranteed in the Canadian Charter. Are we going to pursue narrow, divisive political goals in Canada and invoke the charter when inevitably the Canadian authorities start cracking down on these activities? In other words are we going to use the very Canadian Charter to undermine the democratic rights of our own people in Canada? Are we going to abuse Canadian democracy to create more suffering for our people in Sri Lanka? Or, are we going to use the Charter in its proper spirit - its intent, rather than its letter. Today I believe we have taken the first step in that direction. For what we have done this evening is to emphatically exercise one of the fundamental freedoms enshrined in the Canadian Charter: the freedom of association. The right to associate as we like, the right to gather as we choose - not as some with authoritarian, extremist persuasions among us would prefer. Once again I salute you all for coming out this evening. Thank You. (Courtesy : Canadian Democratic Tamil Cultural Association ) |

text: June 2 TEXAS: HPD admits it failed to review suspect lab work--Report alleges hundreds of cases were ignored for 'reasons unknown' Despite knowing about the suspect work of a crime-laboratory analyst in at least two drug cases, the Houston Police Department failed to conduct a review of hundreds of other cases handled by the employee because of "reasons unknown," according to a written statement released by department officials Wednesday. The allegations of fabricated work by the analyst came to light Tuesday in a report issued by an independent investigator hired to probe widespread problems in the HPD crime lab. Among other things, the report accused two analysts in the crime lab's controlled substances division of "drylabbing," or concocting results, in two cases each without conducting tests on evidence. The work was conducted between 1998 and 2000 during the tenure of former Chief C.O. Bradford. In all 4 cases, supervisors discovered the problems before the analyses were used in court. In the statement released Wednesday, HPD Executive Assistant Chief Martha Montalvo said the department had reviewed 574 cases processed by former analyst James E. Price, who has since resigned. But they could not explain why no such review had been conducted in connection with the work of analyst Vipul H. Patel - who was suspended for three days but continues to work in the crime lab. Patel's work between 1999 and 2003 will soon also come under scrutiny. The Houston Chronicle was unable to contact Price or Patel on Wednesday. "The review will look to see if proper processing and analyses were conducted in accordance with established procedures," said Montalvo. Whether the department or special investigator Michael Bromwich will review Patel's work is unclear, a department spokesman said. A former Justice Department inspector general, Bromwich was hired earlier this year to investigate the practices and work of the troubled crime lab. Those troubles began in December 2002 after an outside audit found numerous problems at the department's DNA lab, which remains shuttered. Since then, problems have surfaced in the lab's toxicology, ballistics and serology divisions. On Tuesday, the controlled substances division was added to that list and potentially could be the most troublesome as it is responsible for 75 % of the work conducted at the crime lab. Shoddy or criminal? In his report, Bromwich described drylabbing as "the most egregious form of scientific misconduct that can occur in a forensic laboratory." On Wednesday, Bromwich confirmed that, at the time the alleged drylabbing by Price was discovered, the department's findings were forwarded to the Harris County District Attorney's Office for possible prosecution. 2 prosecutors declined to pursue the cases. "I think it was extremely ill-advised to keep people who had engaged in such fraudulent activity in roles in the crime lab where they continued to perform scientific analysis," said the investigator. Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal said Wednesday that, after reviewing the case files, he is satisfied with the decision of the two prosecutors not to take the analysts to court. He said that, in one of the cases, Price apparently violated analytical procedure by comparing a drug to its depiction in a pharmaceutical reference book. "I'm sure he just looked at them and went by the scorings on the pills, as opposed to actually doing the tests," said Rosenthal, who took over the office in 2001. In the 2nd case, Rosenthal characterized the work as sloppy rather than criminal. "Apparently they were both handled properly," Rosenthal said about the investigations by the DA's office. Tampering allegations Other legal observers, however, are not as confident - especially when it comes to Patel's work. In cases where the analyst's reports contend that tests had been performed when, in fact, none had, criminal charges could have possibly been filed, according to a former appellate court justice. Attorney Murry Cohen, formerly a justice on the 1st Court of Appeals, says he thinks that actions of the 2 analysts may have constituted tampering with a governmental record. "I don't know why you couldn't argue that, why a jury could not find that, and court could not hold that that's sufficient (for a conviction)," Cohen said. He also noted that the statute of limitations on the offense has expired, so no charges in those cases can be filed. Stanley Schneider, past president of the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association, said the problems found in the controlled substances division represent the first time the district attorney's office has been found to have had prior knowledge of problems at that lab. "There have been complaints for a long time that the (crime lab) investigation conducted by the district attorney's office was not a fair and impartial investigation," Schneider said. "And this confirms it." Bromwich said he will explore whether defense counsels in other cases were advised of the allegations brought against the analysts. "Such information would pretty plainly be impeachment material," he said. Bromwich also said his team will continue to explore to what extent the DNA lab was affected during the 6 years it went without a supervisor. "We don't yet know in how many cases the analysis was adversely affected, and to what degree," he said.

As the state prepares today to execute convicted murderer Jerry Paul Henderson, one Alabama group continues its push to stop capital punishment in Alabama. That group is seeking recruits. Members of Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty released Wednesday a list of more than 160 civic groups, counties, cities, business owners and religious organizations they say have joined them in their stand against capital punishment in Alabama. The list also includes heavy-hitters in the world of civil rights, including the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Project Hope also has received the support of an Alabama archbishop. "We are very grateful to these groups," said Esther Brown, a spokeswoman for Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty, established in 1989 by death row inmates and their supporters. "What it shows us is that they understand." Rhonda Brownstein, legal director of the SPLC, said there are major racial disparities in how the death penalty is administered. "It's a civil rights issue because the death penalty is not fairly applied," she said. "Historically, and to this day, the death penalty is administered in a racially discriminatory manner. Research has demonstrated repeatedly that defendants who kill white victims are far more likely to receive the death penalty than defendants who kill black victims." Although the group's support list is getting a lot longer, the state doesn't appear to be getting any closer to imposing a moratorium on the death penalty in Alabama. Brown said she and others met earlier this year with Alabama Gov. Bob Riley, who supports the death penalty, and spoke of their desire to see Alabama's death penalty squashed. "It is not that we condone killing; we don't condone it when the state does it either," Brown said. Riley's office reiterated the governor's stance in support of capital punishment Wednesday, one day before the scheduled 6 p.m. execution of Henderson. "Gov. Riley supports the death penalty because he believes it is a deterrent and because it brings justice to those who have committed the most heinous crimes," said Riley communications director Jeff Emerson. There are 193 inmates on death row in Alabama, according to figures from the Alabama Department of Corrections. The Rev. John L. Alford Sr., acting president of the Montgomery chapter of the SCLC and a member of the state SCLC board of directors, disagrees with the governors view on the death penalty. He believes the death penalty "should not exist and should be wiped out as quickly as it came." "I don't believe that the death penalty is a deterrent in controlling crime; to put a man to death does not change any behavior," Alford said. "We are not saying that a person should not pay for the crime committed if they are in fact guilty, but we are saying there should be other methods of dealing with a person who has violated the law." Father Michael Farmer, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Mobile, which overseas the Montgomery and Prattville areas, confirmed Wednesday that Archbishop Oscar H. Lipscomb has given his support to the groups cause. "Our society has other alternatives beside capital punishment," Farmer said. John Matson, Rileys deputy press secretary, said the governor's office has not received a request for clemency in Hendersons case. "The governor said he will not intervene to block the execution," Matson said. Henderson, 58, of Calhoun, Ga., is to die by lethal injection. He was convicted of capital murder in the Jan. 1, 1984, shooting death of Jerry Haney, 33, a textile worker in Talladega County.

ABI agent Johnny Tubbs, testifying at Harris' capital murder trial, also said Harris told investigators that his girlfriend, 16-year-old Janice Ball, claimed to have been sexually abused by her father and 3 teenage brothers. They were among the 6 Ball family members shot to death on Aug. 26, 2002, at their home in rural Rutledge. The Harris defense challenged the accuracy of the statement, which Tubbs wrote down on a form as he questioned Harris from 2:30 a.m. to 5:53 a.m. on Aug. 30, 2002, several hours after Harris was in custody. Defense attorney Steve Townes, during cross-examination of Tubbs, pointed out that the Harris questioning was not tape recorded and that he took no notes for the first 2 hours before the statement form was brought out. He raised the implication that the words could have been altered. Tubbs said he wrote the words almost verbatim as Harris spoke them and that Harris reviewed and signed the form. He said the Harris statement included the confession: "I don't know what got into me. I just lost it. Plus, I was under the influence of illegal drugs." He said Harris told of the sexual abuse claim that Janice Ball made against her father and 3 brothers. "I also thought they were having sex with my 1-year-old daughter," Harris is quoted as saying. Prosecutors contend Janice Ball was forced to cooperate out of fear Harris would harm her and their young daughter. The defense argues Janice Ball was more than a mere witness to the killings and wanted her family dead, citing her claim of sexual abuse by family members. Retired ABI agent Raymond Smith, who led the investigation at the time, was also present when Harris was questioned. Under cross-examination Wednesday, he was accused by the defense of omitting evidence that could have conflicted with the theory that Harris was the killer. The defense said Smith lost track of certain blood samples, clothing items and shotgun shells that could have been pertinent to the case. Smith earlier identified three long guns that were recovered from Gregory Daniels, a close friend of Harris. Smith said Harris had given the guns to Daniels around Aug. 27, 2002, the day after the killings when the bodies were discovered. Another prosecution witness, Wendel Edwards, said he purchased three long guns from Harris and another friend, Leon Marshall, on Aug. 27, 2002. He said one of the guns smelled of gunpowder, as if it had been recently fired. Edwards said he turned over the guns soon after learning Harris was a suspect in the killings. Earlier Wednesday, Janice Ball kept her eyes down as the jury was shown large graphic photographs of the 6 bloodied bodies found at the Crenshaw County home - the most victims in an Alabama shooting murder case in at least several decades and possibly a century or longer. The photographs showed Janice Ball's grandmother, Mila Ruth Ball, 62, whose hands had been bound by electrical tape before she was shot in the face in her kitchen, the first victim that morning. The other photos showed the bodies of Janice Ball's mother, JoAnn Ball, 35, and brother Tony, 17, in a nearby trailer; brother John, 14, in the kitchen of the main house where the grandmother died; brother Jerry, 19, stuffed in a car trunk; and father Willie Hasley, 40, who also went by the name Willie Haslip, in a hog pen.

Lions Corner House
A man starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks.
First is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this, a huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show the others who's boss, he beats it to death with a spade..
Realising his employer won't be best pleased he disposes of the fish by feeding it to the lions, as lions will eat anything.
Moving on to the second job of clearing out the chimp house, he is attacked by the chimps who pelt him with coconuts. He swipes at two chimps with a spade, killing them both.
What can he do? Feed them to the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat anything. He hurls the corpses into the lion enclosure.
He moved on to the last job, which is to collect honey from the South African bees, but as soon as he starts, he is attacked by the bees, so he grabs the spade and smashes the bees to a pulp.
By now he knows what to do and throws them into the lion's cage -
Because lions eat anything.
Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. He wanders up to the other lions and says 'What's the food like here?'
The lions say:
'Absolutely brilliant. Today we had fish and chimps with mushy bees.'

Police say man, 74, killed in Durham crash
Durham Deputy Police Chief Rene Kelley said Saturday a man, 74, was pronounced dead at scene of the accident, near the Route 4 state police weigh station. His name was not being released, pending notification of next of kin.
Kelley said the deceased driver was driving a 2000 Buick heading west on Route 4 at 8:57 a.m. Saturday when it was hit, almost head-on, by a 2004 Chrysler Sebring, operated by a 22 year old male, heading east. The driver was transported by DHART helicopter to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Mass., with what Kelley termed "serious" injuries. His condition was not known Saturday afternoon. A passenger in the Sebring, also a 22 year old male, was taken by Durham ambulance to Portsmouth Regional Hospital in stable condition.
Kelley said a stretch of Route 4 near the weigh station was closed for approximately five hours Saturday while accident reconstruction teams investigated the incident. He said early indications are the driver of the Sebring was attempting a passing maneuver when he hit the Buick, driver's side door to driver's side door.
He said Saturday afternoon the investigation was still in a preliminary stage, and could not comment on whether speed or alcohol were factors. He would not comment on the type of the vehicle the Sebring driver was allegedly trying to pass, saying the investigation was ongoing.
Durham fire personnel used 'JAWS of Life' equipment to extricate at least one victim from the Sebring. State police along with members of the Lee and Durham police departments assisted at the scene.

A flash fiction piece in preparation for my novel tentatively titled Annie and the Second Anasazi, scheduled for publication in 2013. Sign up for notification by email here.
After Daddy, I knew I would be next. And I knew he was gone. They'd killed him. So I ran. In my boots and costume. People saw me and stopped to watch. I made appearances in stores, on TV and billboards, but I never ran through the streets. I'm surprised a camera didn't get any of it.
I did just like Daddy said. In locker 857 at the old train station, combination 6-3-5-7-9, I found a heavy duffel bag and staggered with it into a restroom.
People noticed. Probably stood outside to wait for me.
Inside the bag, I found street clothes, rough and thick, a sun hat that looked new on the underside and worn on the topside, and several pairs of used shoes. In the bottom I found the money vest. A quarter-million dollars. And a set of instructions. In what looked like three dozen cities across the country, he had cached something away for me. The instructions said "there is a pathway to survival." Not for Daddy. Not anymore.
When I left the restroom, I looked like everybody else on the street and the crowd stepped aside to let me pass while they waited for Miss Annie to come back out. Never realized I already had.
My first imperative on my Daddy's survival list said, "Go to a safe place to recover, Annie. I'm sorry."
In tears, I caught the Sweat Train north, paying a young man a dollar to take my turn at the push bar. A couple refused to take the money because I looked too thin and small. Nobody recognized me. I didn't even recognize me. Rage began boiling in my stomach after I saws the patter, understood its meaning. Too late to help Daddy. And now all I want is to destroy those who have killed everyone in my life I love. I hope Daddy's secrete safe house is well-armed.
In the duffel back, I found an envelope with paper and pen and I wrote a note while the train slowly rolled through the night.
Reagan Newcastle
I figured it out. The Devil is in your new House of God. Expect the fires of Hell to burn you out.
It may not have been his hands that did the dirty work, but Reagan Newcastle controlled those hands like puppets. He would not be easy to take down. But easy no longer mattered.
Annie and the Second Anasazi, set in 2054 A.D., is about a migration of intellectuals into the deserts of New Mexico where people live like the ancient ones because of changing climate coupled with an intolerable mix of politics and religion that rises in the cities of the American South. Annie is the daughter of Tucker and Lydia Roth of Girl on a Rock.

Strange Billboard in Michigan Has Everyone Wondering What's Wrong With the Blueberries The message? Listen to others, and try to help.
Mysterious billboards are a thing now, I guess.
The latest one getting national attention is on Interstate 69 in Flint, Mich. White letters set against a blue background read: "I'm concerned about the blueberries." Well, sure, aren't we all? Michigan is a big blueberry producer, but local groups engaged in that business claim they're not behind the cryptic message, and CBS Outdoor, which owns the billboard, says it was posted anonymously and won't say more.
Theories abound. Some say it's about drugs (Oxycontin's street name is Blueberries, apparently). Others think it has to do with children or education funding, bees dying off or Obamacare. Personally, I'm hoping for a more exciting revelation. Maybe it's from Lena Dunham—she's wacky, right? Or Banksy—that dude's so in everyone's face! Maybe it's from the nation's strawberry growers—a prelude to an epic battle of antioxidants.
Those mystery NSA billboards in New York and San Francisco turned out to be from BitTorrent. That was ... exciting. Right? Is anybody else getting a little bored with this trend?
UPDATE: Turns out Flint businessman Phil Shaltz put up the billboard, which is based on a personal and thought-provoking experience he had on a recent vacation. "This is a stunt. It was something I decided to put up to grab people's attention so they could start thinking about blueberries," he tells Mlive.com. "But now you need to make the transition to know what the heck I'm talking about. Blueberries are the concerns and the hurdles and the struggles that all of us deal with in a day."
The goal was essentially to make people see the world from the perspective of others. While vacationing in Alaska, Shaltz met a young tour guide who, when asked how things were going, said, "I'm concerned about the blueberries." Specifically, he was worried there wouldn't be enough rain for the state's blueberry crop.
At first, Shaltz felt like the 21-year-old was naive to be worried about such a specific issue, but he began to respect the young man's perspective and found himself wishing that others could be motivated to think about what's concerning the people around us. "We all go through the day and we see people who have blueberries—their own issues—and we don't do anything. Even when it's not about rain, when it's something we can impact, we show just how desensitized we've become. We aren't as helpful to the common man in even the small things in life."
Shaltz admits his purpose with the mysterious billboard might prove unstatisfying to many who've been trying to guess its meaning. "There will be people who see this billboard and see this story, that are so disappointed that this is what it's about. Some people want it to be about racism or drugs or the school system, but it's all about something very simple and very human that touches all of us."

Meir Panim's Tiberias Free Restaurant not only provides warm meals, but the opportunity to socialize as well.
We spent a lovely day in Key West and were happy that the kosher facilities that we needed, were available. Comments may be sent to email@example.com.

We need to put ourselves into the eyes of Pharaoh's daughter.
The late Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach did not belong to any religious movement, but his daughter Neshama now belongs.
Apparently there has been no let-up in Secretary of State Kerry's drive to bring about a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians within the nine-month period he prescribed last year, which ends in April 2014.
Much attention has properly been paid to the problems inherent in the provisions of the Geneva agreement struck with Iran. There are substantial loopholes that allow Iran to run trucks through its commitments and Iran seems to have been able to blunt the full court press that had been mounted against it in the form of economic sanctions and threats of military force.
All these polls asked either "Do you agree that Israel is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians?" or, alternatively, "Do you agree Israel behaves toward the Palestinians like the Nazis do?"
Of course, believing in God doesn't make one Jewish. Many people identify themselves as Jews for a host of reasons other than believing in the God of Israel, and they are just as Jewish as the most pious Jew. Being Jewish is a birthright, not a belief right. According to halacha, anyone born of a Jewish mother is Jewish. Period.
We live in a world where a people returning to it's ancestral home is accused of occupation, and redemption has become colonialism.
In mainstream America, people believe in instant romance and not physically keeping to oneself prior to marriage.
I have heard many Rabbis tell me that they don't wish to dirty their hands by getting involved in political matters.
Does anyone think the Palestinian Authority will resist daily attacks from Hamas and Fatah radicals?
"Arise, Reb Yechiel—honored with the firing of one bomb!"
Larger and larger swaths of people in the West keep coming back with the wrong opinion.
Secret Service security arrangements were overruled.
It really is time for painful sacrifices for peace. No one wants his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to suffer the pangs of war and strife. It is time to end the strife and make peace in the Middle East.
Israel is a country that understands security concerns. Many civil rights have been sacrificed in the name of security and Israelis are used to being checked every time they enter a shopping center, a large store or any public building. Americans recently learned that they, too, are subject to many checks on their most private activities.
The Israeli Parliament is usually controlled by a coalition of different political parties because no one party receives enough votes to have a majority. Unlike in the U.S., where there are two major political parties and one of the two political parties commands a majority of the seats in the Senate and/or in the House, in Israel the government is composed of many, many small political parties, each pushing its own agenda.
The title above is a lovely thought. Unfortunately, there are too many times when Israeli Orthodox Jews behave in very divisive ways. I have mentioned, on occasion, that it would most probably bring the Mashiach if Orthodox Jews in Israel were ever to unite. We are so divided politically that Sephardi Jews will not support Ashkenazi Jews and Ultra-Orthodox Jews will not work with the Modern Orthodox or with the Zionist Orthodox.
Israel recently commemorated Memorial Day in memory of its fallen heroes. Sadness permeates the day as we remember the sons, daughters and parents who have sacrificed their lives so that the Jewish Nation can continue to exist.
The title of this article is the supposed motto of the late Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago, but for Americans living in Israel it means, literally, vote twice. Both Israel and America are holding important elections and, hopefully, most Orthodox Jews will be voting. The United States will be holding its regular four-year elections for president and many other offices, and Israel will be voting for an entire "new" Parliament (Knesset).
We left Reno, Nevada, early Sunday morning and decided to take the scenic route to Salt Lake City, rather than travel by super highway, but Route 50 turned out to be not very scenic as we crossed Nevada and Utah. We stopped at a roadside table at noon, where the men heated and ate LaBriute meals while the women enjoyed their cottage cheese, peanut butter sandwiches, fruit and vegetables. We have followed this pattern of meals ever since the women decided not to eat the packaged meals.
San Francisco is a lovely city and we enjoyed its many tourist venues. The famous Lombard Street, known as "The Crookedest Street in the World," was beautiful, with its floral decorations. We shopped at Pier 39, and we bought matching San Francisco jackets. We really needed them since it was cold in San Francisco. Barbara added to her magnet collection, which contains magnets from dozens of countries around the world that we have toured. She'd never been in a store that sold thousands of magnets and she just loved looking at all the magnets on the walls.
