The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Title: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Author: Stephen Chbosky
KDL Description:
A story about what it's like to travel that strange course through the uncharted territory of high school. The world of first dates, family dramas, and new friends. Of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Of those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
Amazon Description:
Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. This haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion marks the stunning debut of a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction: The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
This is the story of what it's like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite.
Through Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, a powerful novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up.

Ald. Jason Ervin's candidate for state rep. draws scrutiny
BY MARK BROWN email@example.com May 22, 2012 8:48PM
Ald. Jason Ervin
Updated: July 2, 2012 10:07AM
Ald. Jason Ervin (28th) made no secret of which candidate he was hoping would get the support of Democratic ward committeemen to run a third-party campaign against their own nominee, indicted Rep. Derrick Smith.
In recent weeks, Ervin had been making introductions for Melissa Conyears, a manager for Allstate Insurance who also is the recording secretary for Ervin's 28th Ward Democratic Organization.
On Tuesday, Conyears was among nine candidates who presented their credentials in public to the committeemen after completing a detailed questionnaire asking about everything from drug use to financial problems — the entire process intended to clear the air after the Smith debacle.
That's what made it all the more damaging, some of those Democrats say, when it wasn't until Ervin was questioned by them in private afterward that he confirmed Conyears is his girlfriend.
Ervin's explanation for leaving out that little detail: He thought everyone knew.
Keeping a promise to be open and transparent in selecting an opponent for Smith isn't proving to be quite as simple as it sounds, Democrats are finding.
Before this is over, some of them may long for the days when such candidate selection meetings were a done deal with the decisions made in advance.
Committeemen had intended to make a final selection Tuesday but ended up only narrowing the field to three finalists — including Conyears — and agreed to finish Wednesday after digging deeper into each of their backgrounds.
Indications are that could get messy.
The other two finalists are Chicago Police Sgt. Eddie Winters, who has been a candidate for the seat twice previously, and Lance Tyson, a lawyer who previously served as chief of staff to Cook County Board President Todd Stroger and as a Springfield lobbyist for the city of Chicago.
Ervin questioned Winters on Tuesday about whether he had ever been sued for child support payments or had been the subject of a restraining order. Winters denied both, and Ervin drew a rebuke from some of his colleagues, who said they should wait to see the records. Aides to Ervin said he would follow up on the matter Wednesday.
In addition, Ervin's camp sought to draw attention to Tyson's disclosure that he had been arrested for DUI in 1997. Tyson said the case was dismissed.
If they're not careful, the Democrats may kill off their candidate before they can launch him — or her.
Don't forget this all started with the dramatic pre-election arrest of Smith in March on charges he took a $7,000 bribe. Smith, a first-termer who himself had been appointed, went on to win the nomination and has refused to step down or give up his spot on the ballot, prompting Democrats to form the 10th District Unity Party to take him out in the fall.
That's why they're a little more sensitive than usual to the public sensitivities about running one of their girlfriends for office. Normally, it would be no big deal.
Even now, several committemen told me it's not Ervin's relationship with Conyears that is at issue but that they weren't told.
"He was not forthcoming," complained Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White, the leader of the group who will pick. "The situation became tainted."
Ervin is still having trouble being forthcoming. When I asked him about Conyears, he told me he wasn't denying a relationship. But he wouldn't confirm it either.
"I consider her a friend," he said. "We know each other."
Conyears changed her voting address last month to the same West Washington street two-flat that Ervin lists as his home. Ervin owns the property, records show.
Ervin said Conyears was selected to run by his 28th Ward political organization, not by him personally, and that she should be judged on her qualifications.
Conyears took a similar approach.
"Ald. Ervin and I are friends," she said. "My background, my name and my reputation speaks for itself. I've worked hard all my life to get to where I am."
Everyone will get another chance to explain themselves Wednesday.

Dusting of snow to cross state
Updated On: Jan 25 2014 09:19:04 PM EST
Less than two inches of snow is expected to fall across the state Saturday evening.
Snow squall conditions forced officials to close a one mile stretch on the south bound side of I-93 near exit 30 in Woodstock for about an hour. That road has since reopened.
State police responded to several accidents in that area, officers said.
Southern areas will see up to an inch, while the northern half of the state may accumulate up to 3 inches of snow.
New Hampshire had a short break from the arctic cold Saturday afternoon, with temperatures climbing to the mid-30s.
On Saturday evening the temperatures will drop again. In northern areas, the temperatures may dip to -5 degrees. Southern parts will average around 10 degrees.
On Sunday it will be sunny but the highs will range from 0 to 15 degrees across the state.

For two decades now, China has attracted the lionĺs share of FDI flows into the developing world. However, doing business in the worldĺs second largest economy no longer appears to be as attractive a proposition with wages rising sharply and the renminbi also appreciating in a big wayŚaccording to a BCG-CII study, Chinese wages grew 15% per annum in the last 3 years and its currency appreciated against the dollar by around 18% per annum in the last 5 years. Needless to say, thatĺs a huge hit to the bottom line for those investing in China, even though the average Chinese worker still earns less than 8% of his counterpart in the US. Itĺs not surprising then that, despite the advantages that China enjoys, among them strong linkages with the global supply chain, MNCs with people-intensive business models are looking to re-locate their operations elsewhere; while China was the worldĺs largest recipient of FDI in the first half of 2012, the flow of funds has fallen in 11 of the last 12 months.
Within Asia, as a recent HSBC report (The great migration: How FDI is moving to Asean and India) points out, Indonesia, India and Vietnam appear to be among the more attractive destinations. In Indiaĺs case, the lure of a huge consuming populationŚled by a 350-million-strong earning middle classŚis complemented by the abundance of both skilled and unskilled labour. However, despite these advantages, FDI flows to India as a share of GDP are currently one of the lowest in Asia. The fact that India has FDI caps as well as outright bans in some sectors is partly responsible, but the larger reason lies elsewhere. Indiaĺs rising wage rates and labour shortages, apart from the usual complaints about the difficulty of doing business, may soon begin to hurt Indiaĺs prospects. RBI data pointing to sharp wage increases in India is important given that Indonesia and VietnamŚtwo countries HSBC lists as competitors to IndiaŚhave lower wages. In other words, if India wants to retain its allure in the FDI market, it needs to match the runaway wage increases with large productivity hikesŚthat means, above all, a lot more investment in education and skilling. Keep in mind that, given Indiaĺs savings-investment gap of 2-3% of GDP, FDI inflows into India will have to at least double from the current $30 billion or so over the next 5 years. On a treadmill,

Lols I feel so young (19 going on 20), I've only seen these in reruns on Boomerang.
None of those. The Real Ghostbusters for me!

I actually preferred Extreme even though it was an obvious minority group I liked how they tried to do knew characters instead of trying to recreate the movie ones. That and the monsters were a lot more menacing. I'm probably the minority though RGB was still fun to watch.
They did keep Egon and Janine, so they get points for that. I agree that Extreme Ghostbusters had good stories too.
@FearTheLiving: @DrEgonSpengler: Was more looking for peoples opinions on which of the above i should draw as a comic strip and less about which saturday morning cartoon was the best (though i will always have a softer spot for Real Ghostbusters over Extreme).

My vote goes for Inspector Gadget or The looney tunes from the 50's. They where still playing when I was a kid. The ones listed where not my faves.
Flinstones were ok, liked the Jetsons better. Wheres Space Ghost?
@RamsIllustrations: It's not a list of favourites, if it was it would be much longer and probably not include many in this list. I'm looking for votes as to which i am going to turn into a short comic. Looking for a practise session really and these characters appealed to me to draw (though Space Ghost NEARLY made the list).

@Joygirl: Freakazoid!!! Why didn't i think of Freakazoid!?!? Dammit, i LOVED that cartoon!

The New Classics - The 30 Best Films of 2008
Unlike previous years, where classics came crawling out of the celluloid woodwork with regular reckless abandon, 2008 was more calm… and considered. That's not to say that choosing 30 top titles was hard. The difficulty in placing them in some manner of rank order suggests the actual depth of quality involved.

"This ice cream is the BEST!! I don't like the fact of raw eggs. But once you take a bite you completly forget about them. The only bad thing is it doesn't freeze good. Once it was frozen it was grainy and not creamy. I will just make half batches of this. As it is a big recipe for 2 people."

Paul Kennedy, award-winning author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers and one of today's most renowned historians, now provides a new and unique look at how World War II was won. Engineers of Victory is a fascinating nuts-and-bolts account of the strategic factors that led to Allied victory. Kennedy reveals how the leaders' grand strategy was carried out by the ordinary soldiers, scientists, engineers, and businessmen responsible for realizing their commanders' visions of success.
In January 1943, FDR and Churchill convened in Casablanca and established the Allied objectives for the war: to defeat the Nazi blitzkrieg; to control the Atlantic sea lanes and the air over western and central Europe; to take the fight to the European mainland; and to end Japan's imperialism. Astonishingly, a little over a year later, these ambitious goals had nearly all been accomplished. With riveting, tactical detail, Engineers of Victory reveals how.
Kennedy recounts the inside stories of the invention of the cavity magnetron, a miniature radar "as small as a soup plate," and the Hedgehog, a multi-headed grenade launcher that allowed the Allies to overcome the threat to their convoys crossing the Atlantic; the critical decision by engineers to install a super-charged Rolls-Royce engine in the P-51 Mustang, creating a fighter plane more powerful than the Luftwaffe's; and the innovative use of pontoon bridges (made from rafts strung together) to help Russian troops cross rivers and elude the Nazi blitzkrieg. He takes readers behind the scenes, unveiling exactly how thousands of individual Allied planes and fighting ships were choreographed to collectively pull off the invasion of Normandy, and illuminating how crew chiefs perfected the high-flying and inaccessible B-29 Superfortress that would drop the atomic bombs on Japan.
The story of World War II is often told as a grand narrative, as if it were fought by supermen or decided by fate. Here Kennedy uncovers the real heroes of the war, highlighting for the first time the creative strategies, tactics, and organizational decisions that made the lofty Allied objectives into a successful reality. In an even more significant way, Engineers of Victory has another claim to our attention, for it restores "the middle level of war" to its rightful place in history.
Praise for Engineers of Victory:
"Paul Kennedy's history of World War II is a demonstration not only of incisive analysis and mastery of subject, but of profound integrity, and a historian's desire to celebrate not great leaders but the forgotten scientists, technicians, and logisticians who gave us the tactical edge, without which the strategic designs could never have been achieved."—Robert D. Kaplan, author of The Revenge of Geography
"Kennedy's fine-grained analysis and suspicion of any one single cause—like cipher cracking, intelligence and deception operations, or specific weapons systems, like the Soviet T-34 tank—permit him to persuasively array his supporting facts. . . . An absorbing new approach to a well-worked field."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A fresh and stimulating approach."—Publishers Weekly

Uncertainty In Buffalo
07/04/06 at 10:32 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Buffalo News,
"I loved it there in Buffalo," Grier said in a conference call. "Darcy and the organization treated me well. I just felt going forward San Jose was a better fit. There's some uncertainty in Buffalo." Grier echoed comments made last week by co-captain Daniel Briere, who said players were "a little nervous" about how the front office will handle the offseason. Numminen's signing gives the Sabres only four players under contract. They lost defenseman Jay McKee to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday, a move Grier lamented. "It's a young team," Grier said. "They have a lot of guys who will be unrestricted free agents in a few years. It's going to be tough to keep everyone around. "Sometimes you have to make a business decision and go with your gut feeling on where you think things are going."more

When the National Hockey League in the summer of 2006 cries out for a voice of reason, for sobering perspective on this free-agent madness?

Options For Gionta
07/04/06 at 10:17 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle,
Gionta became a restricted free agent on Saturday and has three options: re-sign with the Devils, file for salary arbitration by Wednesday or test the free-agent marketplace. Affecting the decision for Gionta and his agent, Steve Bartlett of Pittsford, is what could lie ahead after next season. If he signs for just one year this summer, he becomes an unrestricted free agent next July. "One year may be in our best interests unless we clearly get (in a long-term deal) what we think will be market value in an open market," Bartlett said. "In an open market, I know Brian Gionta would be extremely valuable."read on

Leafs Close To Cap
07/04/06 at 10:14 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Toronto Sun,
The waiting game has begun for John Ferguson, but Paul Maurice can't afford to wait at all. This is where the Maple Leafs find themselves, three days into NHL free agency, with the team almost tapped out and capped out. There are needs to fill but little money with which to address them. There are holes but no clear way to address them. Ferguson has approximately $4 million US left to spend on as many as four players, which means he's caught playing the hockey version of musical chairs, wondering which players will be left without seats.continued

That's A Lot Of "D"
07/04/06 at 09:54 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the OC Register,
He carries pucks, carries power plays. Carries franchises. And now he's toting the Ducks' wheelbarrow, but he only has to handle one handle. Scott Niedermayer has the other. That's $13million worth of defensemen next season, about 30 percent of the Ducks' salary cap, but no one in hockey can remember two such deluxe D's on one team. "But the price was high," said Brian Burke, the Ducks' general manager, and he wasn't kidding. They had to surrender Lupul, the Ducks' top producer in the playoffs and a charismatic and feisty 22-year-old who should be contending for trophies after Pronger has retired (he turns 32 Oct.10). Playing in his hometown will only enhance the Prolific Palindrome, who scored four goals at Colorado in Game 3 of the second round. "I don't think they would have done this if they didn't get Lupul," Burke said.more

Out OF Touch
07/04/06 at 09:47 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Allan Maki of the Globe and Mail,
Speaking from his home in St. Louis, Mo., and buoyed by the fact the Oilers had just traded him to the Anaheim Ducks, Pronger said he was aware of the sentiment in Edmonton, so aware that "the best part was I was out of the country. Out of sight, out of mind." Wow. Now that's interesting. Sign a five-year deal worth $31.25-million (U.S.), ask to leave after one season, fly to Mexico and let your agent make cryptic comments about things couples go through. Let it be known that the reasons for wanting out are personal and private. Let a lot of people twist in the wind of speculation while you remain silent and then, when you finally speak, you say the best part was being out of the country. Out of sight, out of mind. Try out of touch, too.read on

A True Champion
07/04/06 at 09:35 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
Before the Detroit Red Wings won their first of three Stanley Cups in six seasons back in the spring of 1997, captain Steve Yzerman was in Las Vegas during the offseason playing craps. Two elderly gentlemen from Detroit's Canadian neighbor, Windsor, Ontario, sauntered by and noticed Yzerman. "Let's go play somewhere else. There's no luck at this table," the one said to the other. Yzerman told that story after the Wings' Cup victory in 1997, the first in 42 years, not with smugness or a sense of self-righteousness, but rather to illustrate the sometimes imperceptible line that separates stardom from being a champion.continued Want to read more on Yzerman?

Burke On The Cutting Edge
07/04/06 at 09:30 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Al Strachan of the Toronto Sun,
Pronger had asked for a trade from Edmonton and yesterday shed little light on the reason he wanted out, other than that it involved his family. The rest, he said, was "none of your business, basically. "I understand why people were hurt. I feel for them. I didn't want it to turn our this way, but it was a personal matter and it's going to stay that way." In some ways, it's a good deal. With Scott Niedermayer already in place, the Ducks now have the kind of defensive tandem that is rarely seen in today's hockey. It's reminiscent of Gary Suter and Al MacInnis on the blue line of the Calgary Flames when they were one of the dominant teams in the league. The creation of such a potent pairing shows that Burke is right on the cutting edge of today's NHL thinking which puts a premium on elite defencemen. But if that's what he wanted, why didn't he just buy Zdeno Chara?more

Consumer sentiment toward technology spending reached its highest level since December of 2012. The CEA Index of Consumer Expectations (ICE), which measures consumer expectations about the broader economy, increased by 0.6 points from last month to reach 171.3 in July, the highest level so far in 2014. The improved sentiment is helping establish a solid foundation for stronger tech spending—especially with the growth of emerging technologies like wearables and Ultra HDTV—to materialize in the back half of 2014.1
The new US Consumer Electronics Sales and Forecasts report projects that total industry revenue will reach a record US$211.3bn in 2014; a steady, two percent increase from US$207bn in sales in 2013. This mid-year update is in line with CEA's projection in January, slightly adjusted after better-than-expected 2013 revenue growth. Looking ahead to 2015, CEA expects industry sales to grow by 1.2 percent, with industry revenues reaching another all-time high of US$214bn.1
Revenues from emerging product categories will grow by 242% year over year in 2014, and another 108% in 2015. These developing technology categories include 3D printers, health and fitness devices, smart watches, Ultra HD television displays and smart thermostats, a newly-introduced sales category to the ICE report.1
Innovations within the television category will help drive sales this year, as consumers choose larger screen sizes and premium display features to upgrade their home video experience. Despite a steady decline in average wholesale prices, TV sales remain critical to the industry's overall bottom line with total TV sets and displays projected to reach US$18.4bn in 2014, down 5% from 2013.1
Reflecting these industry trends, Apple Inc's revenue increased by US$2.1bn in Q3'14 compared to the same period in 2013, representing growth of 6%. Net sales and unit sales increased for iPhones, resulting primarily from the continued shift to smart phones by consumers across the globe. Net sales and unit sales increased for Macs due to strong demand for MacBook Air which was updated with faster processors as well as lower prices in April 2014 and due to sales of the new Mac Pro which became available in December 2013. Net sales of iTunes, Software and Services grew primarily due to increased revenue from sales of iOS Apps, AppleCare and licensing. In contrast, net sales and unit sales for iPad declined in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to lower unit sales in many markets. Growth in total net sales during the third quarter of 2014 was also negatively impacted by the continuing decline of iPod sales. Geographically growth in net sales was particularly strong in Greater China where revenue grew 28% in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.
Sony also benefitted from the increased consumer demand, with sales of 1,809.9bn yen (US$17,920mn), an increase of 5.8% year over year. This growth was primarily due to a significant increase in G&NS segment sales, reflecting the contribution of the PlayStation 4 ("PS4") which was launched in November 2013, a significant increase in the Pictures segment sales primarily due to higher theatrical revenues in Motion Pictures, as well as the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates. This increase was partially offset by a significant decrease in sales in "All Other Category", primarily related to Sony's exit from the PC business. Operating income increased 34.3bn yen year over year to 69.8bn yen (US$691mn). This growth was primarily due to a significant improvement in the operating results of the G&NS segment, but was partially offset by a significant deterioration in the operating results of the MC segment.

Mandy Koukash understands her bid to buy Bradford Bulls from the club's administrator has proved unsuccessful.
Koukash, whose husband Marwan owns Salford Red Devils, was one of a number of parties seeking to gain control of the Super League club and lodged a bid before Thursday's deadline.
Koukash attended Sunday's defeat to Huddersfield Giants at Odsal and had been quietly optimistic her offer would be accepted by administrators, Leeds-based accountant David Wilson.
Wilson is yet to announce which bidders, which include representatives from Bradford Park Avenue, Bradford City and London-based businessman Richard Lamb, have been accepted.
Koukash has not given up helping the club completely, stating she remains keen to work alongside whomever secures control of the fallen giants.
"Would like to wish all other bidders the very best," she Tweeted. "I am hearing my bid will not be the winning one. My bid was focused in helping the Bulls.
"As I understand, the RFL has nothing to do with the decision. It is based on the highest bid to pay the old debt.
"If possible, I would consider working with the winning bidder."
Outspoken Red Devils supremo also hinted his wife's bid ultimately ended without the desired outcome.
"Sadly, my wife's bid to buy the Bulls will not be the winning one," he said. "As she understands, it was not the highest bid."

The goal of integrating speech recognition with natural language understanding is to produce spoken-language-understanding systemsthat is, systems that take spoken language as their input and respond in an appropriate way depending on the meaning of the input. Since speech recognition (Makhoul and Schwartz, in this volume) aims to transform speech into text, and natural-language-understanding systems (Bates, in this volume) aim to understand text, it might seem that spoken-language-understanding systems could be created by the simple serial connection of a speech recognizer and a natural-language-understanding system. This naive approach is less than ideal for a number of reasons, the most important being the following:
• Spontaneous spoken language differs in a number of ways from standard written language, so that even if a speech recognizer were able to deliver a perfect transcription to a natural-language-understanding system, performance would still suffer if the natural language system were not adapted to the characteristics of spoken language.
• Current speech recognition systems are far from perfect transcribers of spoken language, which raises questions about how to make natural-language-understanding systems robust to recognition errors and whether higher overall performance can be achieved by a tighter integration of speech recognition and natural language understanding.
• Spoken language contains information that is not necessarily represented in written language, such as the distinctions between words that are pronounced differently but spelled the same, or syntactic and semantic information that is encoded prosodically in speech. In principle it should be possible to extract this information to solve certain understanding problems more easily using spoken input than using a simple textual transcription of that input.
This paper looks at how these issues are being addressed in current research in the ARPA Spoken Language Program.
The participants in the ARPA Spoken Language Program have adopted the interpretation of requests for air travel information as a common task to measure progress in research on spoken language

Large drop in NH abuse cases cited in study
Sexual abuse dropped 81 percent and physical abuse 70 percent in the state during that time, while neglect increased 88 percent, according to David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. Nationwide, physical abuse decreased 56 percent and sexual abuse dropped 63 percent, Finkelhor noted.
At the same time, a handful of studies contradict those declines, raising questions about how states report and substantiate allegations and whether they capture a true picture of child abuse and neglect.
The declines are likely due to increased awareness and changes in behavior, Finkelhor said. Other factors could include changes in investigations, reporting practices, definitions and administrative procedures, he said.
"One of (the factors) is the large effort that has been put into programs to raise awareness and prevent abuse," Finkelhor said. "More police and child welfare professionals trained to intervene, better treatments, and changed attitudes toward children and their needs also played a role."
A national study showed abuse injuries that required hospitalization increased 5 percent during the time Finkelhor cited a large decrease. (See related story.) Hospitalizations for newborns and children up to age 1 increased 11 percent during that period.
Some child advocates and prosecutors also question the decline, especially since the number of child abuse-related calls to the state Division for Children, Youth and Families climbed to 15,177 in 2012, while the percentage substantiated after investigation dropped to about 7 percent, much lower than the national average of about 18 percent.
Why, advocates wondered, would New Hampshire report a total of 876 child maltreatment victims in 2011 when neighboring Maine - which has about the same number of children - reported 3,118 victims?
From 2010 to 2011 alone, New Hampshire showed a decline of 17 percent in sex abuse and 30 percent in physical abuse and an increase of 11 percent in neglect, Finkelor reported in January.
It's possible that more severe abuse that leads to hospital stays - a small percentage of all child abuse - is tracking differently, he said.
Finkelhor's numbers come from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System, which publishes statistics reported by the state Division for Children, Youth and Families and the other state child protection agencies.
Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams, who has been prosecuting crimes against children for many years, said the decline is suspect, even though prevention programs and holding perpetrators accountable are making good progress.
County attorneys do not track crimes by age of the victim, so there is no way to know whether more child sexual abuse and serious physical abuse are being prosecuted in criminal courts.
"I suspect that there is a lot more going on here than statistics are capturing," Reams said.
Reams' office is prosecuting Jessica Linscott and her boyfriend, Roland Dow of Plaistow, in connection with the beating and burning of Linscott's 3-year-old son last November. The boy suffered seizures and a traumatic brain injury.
In New Hampshire, all sexual assault cases are considered crimes.
All but the most serious cases of physical abuse are handled civilly in family court by DCYF.
DCYF cases are confidential by law, so the public rarely gets to see how they work. DCYF's goal is to protect children while keeping the family together when possible, according to Director Maggie Bishop.
Bishop said the drop in substantiation rates from 2008 to 2011 from 10 to 7 percent parallels a change in state law in 2007 that makes it harder to investigate suspected abuse. The change requires social workers to make it clear to parents that they don't have to let social workers in without a court order.
"When we knock on the door, the first thing we have to say is they don't have to speak to us," Bishop said.
The change also required DCYF to videotape child interviews, she said.
"These have impacted our ability to get detailed information," Bishop said, adding there are other factors, too.
Children often refuse to disclose problems the first time they speak with social workers, Bishop said.
"There are times we have concerns, but the child won't tell us what happened or the parents won't let us in," Bishop said.
"We have to walk away and wait until we get a second call six months later."
Some of those cases end up with children getting hurt seriously enough to warrant criminal charges before the second or even third call comes in, she said.
She didn't know why Maine substantiates so many more cases than New Hampshire, except to say workers there would make determinations based on what their state law requires.
"Sometimes the community gets frustrated when we go out and make an unfounded determination," Bishop said.
"Unfounded'' doesn't mean abuse didn't occur, she said. It just means the division couldn't prove the case by showing an injury was not accidental or that it was intentionally inflicted by a parent or caretaker.
Some abuse cases are filed as neglect because it is easier to prove, she said.
"People shouldn't stop calling us," Bishop said. "Maybe the new information they have will help prove the case."
Rep. Dan Itse, R-Fremont, said he submitted the 2007 legislation in response to past abuses by DCYF, mentioning several cases in which parents complained publicly they were being wrongly accused by an overzealous agency.
"They (DCYF) were telling people, 'You have to let us in.' The government is not supposed to have access to your house unless it has just cause and a warrant," Itse said.
If DCYF really thinks something is going on because of a report from a school or hospital, social workers can get an ex-parte order that day, he said.
Itse said all child abuse will never be uncovered.
"My gut tells me we're pretty effective," Itse said. "I don't know if we could be more effective without violating principles of fundamental liberties."
Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi said his office sees a steady stream of sex abuse cases against children and a few criminal physical abuse cases, as well.
The steep decline cited by Finkelhor doesn't match his experience, Velardi said.
"In all honestly, that is not reflective of what we are dealing with," said Velardi.
Last month, Velardi's office obtained a first-degree assault conviction against Christina Thomas of New Durham for starving a boy in her care and forcing him to stay in a dog cage at times from the ages of 3 to 6.
DCYF's Bishop cautioned against relying on the number of cases that come to light.
"I don't think my data or the hospital data show the entire picture of child abuse and neglect," Bishop said.
Most will never get reported, she said.
"It's a secret," Bishop said. "It is not something people broadcast or do publicly."

Confirmed: Peter Berg to Helm Dune RemakeMovie News By Chris Beaumont on March 18, 2008 | (6) Comments
In 1984 David Lynch, with only two features under his belt (Eraserhead and the Oscar nominated The Elephant Man), made his next project the novel that was said to be unfilmable, Frank Herbert's Dune. The result has been called a travesty by some, cult classic by others, and just unliked by even more. It stood as the lone filmed attempt until the 2000 mini-series on the Sci Fi Channel, which was more successful, but still did not completely capture the epic expanse of the novel's universe. It is time once again to make an attempt to bring the page to the screen. Will the third time be the charm?
It is being reported at Moviehole.net that Peter Berg will be producing and directing the new adaptation following his campaign for the Herbert estate to allow him to make the film under the Paramount banner. Apparently he was successful. There is no production schedule, nor a release date, but it does appear that the project is a go.
Peter Berg has had success as a director, displaying the ability to cross genres successfully. However, there is nothing in his filmography that would indicate he is able to bring a story such as this to the screen, but I like what I have seen from him and feel that he has earned the right to make the attempt. From his debut in 1998 with the black comedy Very Bad Things to the action flick The Rundown, Friday Night Lights to The Kingdom, Peter Berg has demonstrated good instincts and a keen eye. While none of these films could be called great, they are very good.
It will be interesting to see how well he will manage with this project, which is sure to raise hackles among the Herbert faithful.

Here's a profile of Stephan Winkelmann, head of Italian supercar builder, Lamborghini. It comes from The Times and shows us how Winkelmann has put together a pretty solid business plan to help keep Lamborghini out of the sort of financial trouble that has seemingly always been a part of the company's reality. When Audi took control of Lamborghini at the end of 2004, Winkelmann took some time to think it over before agreeing to take the reins. Although the budget seemed modest, Lamborghini had to remain extreme, in his mind. So while the cars themselves have had to use some shared parts with their corporate brethren, they still have that certain Lambo flair. The company also added signature items to their catalog - clothing, merchandise, and accessories - that have helped spread the name.
Just before Winkelmann stepped in, the company had finally surpassed 1,000 units sold in 2003, but it wasn't until 2004/2005 that they saw any kind of profit. Last year, they passed 2,000 vehicles sold worldwide and reported earnings of €18.1 million. That's a far cry from the 1970s and 1980s, when selling 250 cars a year seemed fine. Looks like the Superleggera and LP640 Roadster have made '07 a pretty good year so far, too. And there is more to come. "We're getting serious," Winkelmann says. "We are not just a toy producer for men. We are a quality car company and the results will speak for themselves."
Read the whole story to see more details about Winkelmann's plan for the company. Hint: It doesn't include a third (or fourth) model.

this doctor knows nothing of what he should. He treated my family as if we were stupid and didn't know anything about our own health -- he corrected my mother when she said she was having angina attacks - stating that it was just anxiety pains since the heart test didn't show angina, and then a week later reviewed the results again and said it was. He needs to go back to school and learn some compassion and people skills especially.

Horrible bed side manner, nurses are rude and unprofessional. When asking me my heart history interrupted me and the accused me of somehow inflicting my problems upon myself. Then accused my mother of demeaning him. Proceeded to raise his voice and told my mother and I that there was something seriously wrong with me but he was not going to tell me because he wanted to kick us out. Finally stopped with holding my medical information after apologizing to us and we've never been back.Would not recommend this doctor at al at all.
