I had been in contact with a Recruiter before and he was willing to help me until I told him I wanted to be an officer and I haven't heard from him in a couple weeks even though I have tried several times to contact him. Not sure what to do just want to get the ball rolling cause this is what I want to do.

Shocking footage has captured the moment an Egyptian photographer filmed his own death through his lenses.
The grainy footage shows an Egyptian solider aiming and shooting at Ahmed Samir Assem, before the film goes black.
The 26-year-old photojournalist was shot dead on Monday as he took photos outside the Republican Guard building in Cairo, where some believe the ousted president Mohamed Morsi is being held.

A common scenario that apparently none of the absent-minded developers of this "app" considered:
Someone sends you a link to a youtube video in an email. You click on the link, and damn! the web browser opens up and you don't get to view the video in your fancy new youtube app. Not a biggie, as I'm not expecting things to ever be that slick in WinMo, but the real insanity that boggles my mind is how someone could be so idiotic as to make a youtube app that doesn't allow youtube URLs to be used to find videos. After selecting the link, copying the URL, and manually opening the youtube app, I find that not only is there no way to use this youtube URL to view the video, but they don't even support copy and paste in the search field! WTF?!?
I realize I can use the default winmo keyboard to do a CTRL+V and get the copied URL pasted in, but most people probably aren't that resourceful, not to mention that the search will turn up nothing anyway.
Basically, the best way to find that video that your friend sent you a link to, is to follow the link in your browser, select and copy the title of the video, open up the youtube app and click in the search field, switch to the stylus-requiring winmo standard keyboard that you never use, break out the stylus (which you might have out already if you needed it to select the video title in the browser) and tap the CTRL button followed by "V". Now your search will hopefully turn up the video that you had the exact URL of originally. Awesome. Way to go google/youtube programmers!

Bridges Academy: Religion, Politics, and the Makings of a New Middle East
|Event Start Date
|Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Hahn University Center, Forum A
|Event Start Time
|10:00 am - 11:30 am
|Cost: free
By now, the story of the "Arab Spring" is a familiar one. Beginning in December 2010, young people in Tunisia and then across the region, in different forms and places, marched themselves free from the shackles of authoritarianism, chipping away at decades of repressive rule that was once deemed indestructible. But that, as students of democratic transitions could have predicted, turned out to be the easy part. Middle East expert and political science professor Avi Spiegel, PhD, JD, will take audience members inside the makings of a new Middle East, analyzing the prospects and pitfalls of democratic reform, and assessing questions relating to the role of religion in the new Arab political sphere.
For ages 55 and up.

From 1893 to 1956, the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) created charts of observed and inferred sea ice extent for each summer month. These charts are based on compiled observations of ice conditions reported by a variable network of national organizations, shore-based observers, scientific expeditions, and ships as detailed in each report; in cases where no observations were available, the lead mapmakers extrapolated further ice cover using their knowledge of ice movement. Except for where direct observations are indicated, caution is advised in using the charts' ice edge because there is no way to quantify the assumptions used in extrapolating ice edge or the error involved in this method. See the note on reliability for further discussion of potential error. The charts were scanned at the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) and are being made available here as a service and in cooperation with DMI and other contributors. In all, there are 266 image files containing 291 images.

Start Date: 1893-04-01Stop Date: 1956-08-31
Especially early in the century, these charts are based on relatively sparse data and rely to a large degree on the inference and extrapolation of the lead mapmakers: V. Garde, C. Speerschneider, and H. Thomsen and M.V.L.Lorck (Thomsen, 1947). Direct observations are always clearly marked, but white space denotes the assumed ice edge. Directly observed open water is not shown differently than assumed open water. Details on areas of open water can be found in the notes that accompany the charts. In most cases, this assumed ice edge follows a 30-year climatological average over a period of years that shifts over the record. We do not have a refernce or any more information on the 30-year climatology. However, the assumed ice edge moves independent of the climatological average line. This suggests that the mapmakers incorporated more factors than just an average estimate. As suggested by Kelly (1979), the mapmakers probably extrapolated the annual ice edge in three ways: they probably used their knowledge of ice movement, growth, and melt to project ice conditions from given data points further in both time and space. They also may have used auxiliary data that are not included in the DMI publications themselves; these sources may have included annual climatic or atmospheric circulation data present at the time. The DMI mapmakers were experienced climatologists, so while their inferences are subjective, they are also probably the most reliable of the time.

Being trapped at home or stranded in a car without food, water or heat during a blizzard affects thousands of people every winter. It is a frightening, life-threatening experience.
The blizzard that dumped seven feet of snow in 24 hours on Buffalo, New York, in November 2014, causing at least 13 deaths, including people trapped in homes and cars, is a reminder that it is time to prepare for winter's cruelty. Frigid temperatures and severe snowstorms are forecasted for many parts of the U.S.
The Buffalo storm caused thousands of power outages and trapped people inside homes as heavy snow buildup overwhelmed houses and wiped out utility services. It also stranded more than150 cars and trucks for nearly two days in frigid conditions. Hundreds more drivers were stranded on local streets as snowfall rates of 3-5 inches per hour made roads impassable, media reported.
The death toll of people who died in cars included a man trapped in his car more than 24 hours under a 15-foot snowdrift. He was driving home from work but pulled over in "white-out" driving conditions. When he called 911, dispatchers told him authorities couldn't help.
Above-Normal Snowfalls Expected
The Old Farmer's Almanac has a traditionally 80 percent accurate winter forecast record and predicts that the winter of 2014-2015 will feature another arctic blast with above-normal snowfall across much of the U.S. and that extreme weather will continue into summer, 2015. "Colder is just almost too familiar a term," said Editor Janice Stillman. "Think of it as refriger-nation." Other forecasters predict that the South will see ice again this winter, including Atlanta, Birmingham and Memphis. An active jet stream is expected to create severe weather events in January and February.
WSI, a unit of The Weather Company that owns The Weather Channel, predicts that winter's chill will be more focused on the East Coast and Gulf Coast. The forecast through February, 2015, is based on an analysis of large-scale factors in the land-ocean-atmosphere system.
One factor is the presence or absence of El Nino — an area of warmer-than-average water in the eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator. WSI expects a weak to moderate El Nino to emerge over the winter months and potentially persist into the spring. This means that extreme weather and storm conditions will prevail.
Prepare to Survive the Worst
Authorities advise citizens, motorists, schools, businesses, churches and shelters to prepare for potential winter emergencies including entrapment by a blizzard or power outages.
The American Red Cross recommends that preparing for a blizzard, at minimum, should include having these basic supplies at hand. These should be kept at home, in a car, or both:
• Water—one gallon per person, per day (3-day supply for evacuation)
• Food—non-perishable, easy-to-prepare items (3-day supply for evacuation)
• Flashlights
• Battery-powered or hand-crank radios
• Extra batteries
• First aid kits
• Baby supplies, including food and diapers
• Pet supplies, including food and water
• Basic medications and medical items
• Multi-purpose tool
• Sanitation and personal hygiene items
• Cell phone with chargers
• Family and emergency contact information
• Emergency blanket
• Maps of the area
Quake Kare offers custom-packed and pre-packed emergency survival kits for cars, homes, offices, schools and other applications including choices of hundreds of supplies shipped in self-contained portable containers for easy access. These include non-perishable food, water, first aid kits, hand-crank power radios, light sticks, candles, waterproof matches, ponchos, multi-purpose knives, portable toilets, blankets, tissue packs and emergency tents and other items to help people survive virtually any disaster. http://www.quakekare.com/car-survival-kits-c-1_3.html

Hemmings Find of the Day – gullwing mold
I know what I would do with this Mercedes-Benz 300 SL-shaped mold for sale on Hemmings.com – create a life-size gullwing-shaped Jell-O fruit cake. What would you do with it? From the seller's description:
This beautiful replica mold belongs to my father, an architect and fine artist who is a die-hard Mercedes-Benz fan and enthusiast! It was made by him from scratch, and countless hours of labor and sweat were put into its production to make sure that final product will look as close as possible to an original Gullwing, including its overall dimensions! Everything was handmade, and all fiberglass hand-rolled. All the tooling, jigs and plugs for the mold, foam modeling, computer drafting were all custom made, and what you see is the product that came from countless hours of labor that was spent on it!
This fiberglass mold is in excellent condition and only ONE car was produced from it (white replica on the pictures below, and my father kept it for our family). Mold is very thick and durable, and everything is straight, solid, and without any cracks or structural damage. It is ready for production of your dream car, OR your dream business as you can make as many replica 300 SL Gullwings as you want from this mold!
It took a team of four guys led by my father almost TWO years of labor and OVER $90,000 for the mold to be produced!
See the 300 SLs for sale on Hemmings.com.

Marble head of Apollo from the Mausoleum at Halikarnassos
Greek, around 350 BC
From Bodrum, modern Turkey
From the one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
This statue, from which only this head survives, was carved from Pentelic marble. The god Apollo is shown here in a dynamic pose, with his head turning sharply, his hair windswept, his mouth slightly open and his expression exhilarated. The figure to which this head originally belonged must have been carved in an animated manner and was probably in motion. His long hair was perhaps arranged in a so-called 'top-knot', typical of fourth-century BC and later Hellenistic images of Apollo.
The scale of this head is different from that of the other free-standing sculptures from the Mausoleum and this, and its lively pose, suggest that it may have been part of a sculptural group positioned on the roof of the building. Alternatively, it may have been grouped with portraits of the Hekatomnid court: deities were often portrayed on a larger scale than their mortal devotees. Apollo may have been the patron deity of the Hekatomnid dynasty, as he appears on the coins of Maussollos and his successors.

8 Loving Guidelines For Showing A Child All That Is Possible. ~ Jennifer Cohen Harper
A tribute to Autism Awareness Month: All children have special needs.
As we come to the end of Autism awareness month, I am very aware of all the information and advice that has been swirling around the children's yoga world talking about how to support students on the spectrum. There has been some really wonderful sharing happening, but I want to take a moment to remind us as a community of how important it is to embrace every child as an individual. See the soul and not the story, as Seane Corn often says.
In my work with many different children, I have seen how easy it can be to start thinking "this kid has such and such disorder so I'm going to do this with him" or "I can't do that with this child since she has a developmental delay". We do, of course, have to be aware of the challenges our students face, and adjust our plans and our expectations accordingly, but often I think we can fall into a trap of habitually teaching to the disorder. This limits our creativity and our ability to show the child all that is possible.
In my teaching I always try to remember that all children have special needs, not just the one's whose needs are most visible. Children's challenges, whether they are physical, mental or emotional, are part of what make them who they are, but they are not the only part. Just as adults struggle with all sorts of things, but don't want those struggles to define how they are treated and what people think of them, children are much more then their struggles. If in our teaching, we allow ourselves to become distracted from the child by the challenge, then we run the risk of contributing to that child's inability to appreciate him or herself as an amazing and unique individual.
Whether a child has cerebral palsy, or is on the autism spectrum, or is struggling with her parent's divorce, or is having a hard time controlling his anger, or is just overwhelmed with the pressure and expectations of high achieving parents, our job is the same. We work to make sure all children learn to see and appreciate the part of themselves that has nothing to do with the things that are hard; we work to make sure every child is aware of their potential.
Our primary goal is to help children live their lives with joy, secure in the knowledge that the world holds great wonders for them and that they have great gifts to share with the world.
Keeping this in mind, here are some guidelines to be aware of in your work with all of our very special children.
1. See the Soul, Not the Story
Seek to understand the challenges that your students face, but pay even more attention to who they are as individuals. What do they enjoy and care about, how do they feel about themselves, what are their hopes and goals and wishes. Be the person who shows a child that they are much much more than their challenge.
2. Make Sure that Your Students Experience More Successes Then Failures
As teachers we work to inspire confidence in our students, but often we focus so much on challenging them that we forget how important it is to nurture their spirits. Some studies have shown that learned helplessness, where children feel that it is impossible for them to succeed so they stop trying, can appear in children as young as four years old!
It is our job to make sure that all of our kids, regardless of their challenges, have the opportunity to experience many more successes then failures. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't challenge your students and teach them to work towards a difficult goal, but if you know you are about to work on something that might be frustrating make sure to bracket that experience with activities that you know the child can feel good about.
3. Find the Appropriate Balance of Structure, Predictability and Creativity
All children, and people in general, need a certain degree of structure and predictability in their lives order to feel safe, and it is impossible to relax and engage in an experience if you don't feel have that sense of safety. For many children life is not very predictable, and if you imagine the life of any child it's easy to see that they have very little control over their own day to day experiences. All of the mental preparation that adults make each day to help them navigate the world is denied to a child who has very little control and sometimes very little knowledge of what is coming next.
The inability to prepare for even the immediate future creates anxiety in children to varying degrees. Many factors can have an impact on how much predictability a child craves – big things such as traumatic experiences or developmental delays, but even smaller things such as how much sleep they have gotten the night before. It is up to you to get to know your students and provide them with an experience that combines the structure that helps them relax with the creativity that inspires their imagination.
My suggestion is that when you begin to work with a new child or children, start with a high degree of predictability – tell them what is planned, how long activities are going to last, and use a lot of repetition – and slowly increase the amount of new material and more fluid time as the kids get to know you and you get to know them.
4. Create Classes that Take Multiple intelligences Into Account
As you plan a children's yoga class, it is so important to remember that every child has a different way of learning best, and by creating a multi-sensory learning experience that explores things from different perspectives we have the best chance of engaging all of our students. Which intelligences are dominant in a particular child will affect the way that he or she processes the information that you are conveying.
If one or more students "just doesn't get it " when you think you are being clear, try to address what you are teaching in a different way. Even in what seems like a simple asana, some students may need you to explain the pose verbally, others may need a demonstration, some may not want to participate unless they know why they are doing the pose and some will only remember the pose if there is a song or chant that goes with it.
In each session work to introduce activities through both language and visual supports. Allow children to make their own decisions about whether to try things right away, or hold back and observe for a while. Give kids opportunities to discuss what they are learning, work together to support and encourage each other, and even give them some quiet time to work things out themselves. A student who appears to be uncooperative may just not be engaged or informed by the method you are using to communicate. Try to bring aspects of each intelligence to your teaching and you will keep more of your students happy and participating.
5. Allow Learning to be Child Directed
Teachers often create amazing lesson plans, but if the kids are not engaging with the activities you've prepared, they are not going to be learning anything from them. We must always be ready to allow our classes to be guided by the unpredictable needs of our students.
I like to think of a lesson plan as a straight, well paved and well marked road. Then think of an actual children's yoga class as a journey on some sort of exciting and well equipped off road vehicle. You can expect that every class will veer off the road, often for very good reasons, and as a teacher you can make sure that the off road experience is safe, engaging and educational. Then gently steer the class back towards the central theme of your lesson plan.
6. Remember That a Good Result Is Not Necessarily the One You Had in Mind
When it comes to children, be aware that the depth of their creativity and imagination will almost always outshine your own. When we begin an activity or a conversation with a kid we often have a particular outcome in mind. We measure success, both for the child and for ourselves as teachers, against how close we come to this outcome.
But what happens so often is that the child's mind isn't working the same way yours is, and if you allow that child to have some creative freedom and some mental space, if you respect the child and truly listen, the outcome you get may be one that you had never even considered. Be prepared to have an open mind and heart. Let go of your preconceptions, and remember that a good result is not necessarily the one you were planning.
7. Remember That the Child Is More Important than the Yoga
Sometimes as yoga teachers we get so invested in the practice that we want to share all of it with everyone. This love of yoga is wonderful, but as a children's yoga teacher I always want to remind myself that the child is more important than the yoga.
This may seem obvious, but it is easy to get caught up in teaching the poses and practices with such enthusiasm that we don't recognize or respond to a child who is not connecting. We may go forward with our plan, assuming that they will get it eventually or thinking that as soon as they see x, y and z they will love it as much as we do. It is important to take a step back and remember that we didn't receive the benefits of our practice all at once.
Sharing yoga in small, manageable pieces that connect to the students' lives in developmentally appropriate ways is the best path forward. Some days that may mean there is a lot more talking then doing happening, and I encourage you to be ok with that.
8. Love Trumps Everything
Children will often not remember what you say or do, but they will always remember how you make them feel.
This is some variation of something somebody once said, and it is perfectly true. Write it at the top of every lesson plan. Say it in your head as you're walking to class. Remind yourself of it when you get frustrated or confused or stop having fun in your classes.
It is the most important part.
Happy teaching. Keep on spreading the joy.

Excellent article Jennifer – so many wonderful tools you have shared that pertain to all types of teachers. Thank you so much!

Beautiful! I kept saying "yes, yes, yes" as I read. Children are wonderful, creative, individuals and yoga can benefit them in so many ways as long as we remember to love, appreciate and enjoy the journey together.
OMazing article with a capital "O". I totally agree that ALL kids have special or unique needs and deserve the opportunity to feel included, honored and loved.
Remember that the child is more important the yoga. So true. Teaching kids can be incredibly frustrating at times – until we step back and realize we are trying to teach our way and not a childs way. Sometimes what a child needs is to roll up inside his mat and pretend he's a taco! Yes – we've been yoga tacos in my kids class before! But it all comes down to – Love Trumps Everything.
Great post thank you.
Thanks so much for the feedback and support! I am always amazed at what a vibrant community the kids yoga world has become. Sending so much love, Jenn
Wonderful article from one of the most inspiring, insightful and connected kids yoga teachers on this planet!! Thanks Jenn for all you do and for sharing it so beautifully.
You get it!!!!
Atta girl!
Fantastic Jenn – RIGHT ON, I kept saying as I read this. These are THE most important aspects to understand and embody when teaching to children (or parenting, or otherwise working with children). Honoring individuality, learning styles, current emotional states and so forth…absolutely. Checking in with and understanding each child is key to entering into a loving and mutally respectful relationship. Like you say, there are no 'rules' for what a class has to look like. Having the ability to go with the flow and needs of the children, while also allowing them to take some risks and be successful, fills them with light – the best benefit of all.

Well done Jennifer. My favorite part is "See the Soul and not the story." It is so easy for people working with "special needs" children to immediately cling to the aspects of the child that are seen in the physical body. In yoga, we strive to attune ourselves to the part of us that unites and the part of us that is perfect. It is at the soul level that true healing (body, mind and spirit) takes place. That is why yoga is the perfect therapeutic avenue. Another thing that I would add to your list is to allow yourself to be the student in your interactions with children. Although their bodies may be smaller than ours…..don't be deceived. They are POWERFUL teachers. they see, feel, observe and notice a lot more than we often do.

The Mets optioned Vic Black to the minors Wednesday, which opens the door for Gonzalez Germen to make the roster.
Black's delivery relies on a very unusual glove tap, which complicates his timing, and this spring was messed up. In the Wall Street Journal, Jared Diamond explains that Black's tap might well have saved his career.
Black had a lousy spring, in 10 outings against competition that averaged a AA level, he gave up 24 baserunners (13 H, 10 BB, 1 HBP) in 9.1 innings. That's bad. If AAA Las Vegas is the place to get his mechanics right, so be it.
The 26-year-old Germen was ok for the Mets last year (3.93 ERA, in 34.1 IP, 22% K, 10.7% BB) and worse this spring. In his 10.1 innigns, he's allowed 15 baserunners against an opponents' quality somewhere between AA and AAA. Germen is a fastball (55%)/changeup (28.4%) heavy pitcher who gives up lots of fly balls (41.4% last year). He also was very lucky in 2013 thanks to a HR/FB ratio of 2.4% where league average was 10.5%. Unless Germen is one of those pitchers who has some special ability to keep fly balls in the yard, regression is coming for him and it's going to hurt.
Black throws harder. His average fastball was 95.5 mph to Germen's 93 in 2013.
I did a brief twitter poll about which right-handed reliever would spend more days on the active roster in 2014, and the unanimous response was: Black.
The bet here: Black will be a significant part of the 2014 Mets bullpen by May. The pathway might not just be Germen's regression. "Closer" Bobby Parnell's velocity was 88-92 in his final spring training outing. He's averaged 96+ in the big leagues. Jose Valverde, who lost his job with the Tigers a year ago thanks to a 5.59 ERA, is supposed to be the 8th inning guy. Jeurys Familia has battled control problems nearly his entire career. John Lannan, of the 148 career starts, is miscast as a LOOGY. He has no platoon splits (.755 OPS vs. LHH and RHH). Maybe a move to the bullpen will help his ordinary stuff.
Black will be back.

I am currently an assistant professor in the philosophy department at the University of South Carolina. Prior to joining the philosophy faculty at USC, I was a Collegiate Assistant Professor of Humanities at the University of Chicago, where I was a member of the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts and an affiliated faculty in the philosophy department. I earned my PhD in philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh, where I worked under the direction of Michael Thompson. I earned my B.A. in Philosophy and Medieval Studies (with Classics minor) at Indiana University-Bloomington. You can read a little bit more about me here.
My research lies at the intersection of virtue ethics, philosophy of action, and theories of rationality. My ambition is to show that we cannot understand concepts such as 'good,' 'action,' or 'practically rational' without an appeal to forms or natures, and to 'good human action' or 'practically rational human action' without an appeal to a distinctive practical knowledge of our own human form or nature. Apart from my own views, I also have research interests in the history of ethics, especially medieval and early modern; and despite my better judgment, I'm pretty obsessed with Kant. The philosophers who have most positively influenced my own work in ethics and action are the three A's: Aristotle, Aquinas, and Anscombe.

Kevin Love is friends with Rubio and stays in contact with the young point guard.
"I still text him every now and then," Love said. "Not too often, once or twice a month. I've always said I hope he comes over sooner rather than later so we can get this thing started."
Love thinks Rubio can make an impact in the NBA.

Oracle Corporation made headlines recently with the announcement
of SupplyChain.Oracle.com, the online incarnation of its collaborative
supply chain suite. SupplyChain.Oracle.com intends to help companies collaborate
on demand and supply across an extended, multi-enterprise supply chain
in order to deliver reduced inventory, more accurate forecasting, better
demand and supply matching, and improved delivery performance.
expects users to reap benefits almost instantaneously from the new web-hosted
offering, citing savings in IT infrastructure investment and support labor.
"Oracle is redefining the supply chain software landscape by delivering
proven supply chain collaboration software as an online service," said
Don Klaiss, senior vice president Manufacturing and Supply Chain Application
Development at Oracle. "Companies can no longer afford expensive, open
ended implementation projects. Rapid ROI is what the market demands and
SupplyChain.Oracle.com meets that need head on."
speed with which Oracle releases new supply chain products is nothing
short of astonishing. Just over one year ago, Oracle crashed the supply
chain party with the release of Oracle APS (Advanced Planning and
Scheduling), a limited selection of applications for demand planning,
manufacturing scheduling, and available to promise (ATP). Barely six months
later, the company announced Oracle Supply Chain Exchange, an open
standards-based architecture for helping suppliers and customers share
information on important planning decisions. Now SupplyChain.Oracle.com
enters the picture to provide users the benefits of Oracle supply chain
applications without the accompanying problems of an in-house implementation.
as startling, the purported time-to-benefit is shrinking as rapidly as
is the lapse between new product announcements. SupplyChain.Oracle.com
promises to have clients up and running in a mere 20 days. While web-deployed
applications do eliminate new hardware installations, many other tasks
remain such as updating business processes, developing data interfaces
and schedules, and training key personnel. It is doubtful that Oracle
really expects installs to happen in 20 days start to finish, but its
failure to delineate where timelines for other project components end
and that for its SupplyChain.Oracle.com begins is misleading.
Users should beware of fantastic claims promising maximum return with
minimum risk. Collaboration initiatives that target better inventory control
and reduced sales cycles requires an organization to undergo fundamental
changes in processes and infrastructure that cannot take place in a matter
of days. Before swallowing Oracle's hook, users should talk with their
consulting partner or one of those supporting SupplyChain.Oracle.com,
KPMG Consulting, Cap Gemini Ernst &
Young, who understand the difficulties they will likely encounter.
Certainly if one of the Big Five are involved, you can bet that there
is enough work involved to make it worthwhile for them to participate.
Large consulting firms rarely take on short projects because they simply
are not cost-efficient. Experience has proven time and again that true
benefit comes only through capital investment, sweat equity, and time.

DHS Director Howard Hendrick is retiring, leaving a $162,750-a-year job after public confidence in his leadership plummeted because of child deaths.
Oklahoma Department of Human Services director announces retirement
"I've done my best," he said Tuesday, wiping away tears.
Hendrick, 57, a former state senator, has served as director of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services for more than 13 years. He oversees more than 7,000 employees and a more than $2 billion budget.
Hendrick made his emotional announcement at the monthly meeting of DHS commissioners, who will choose his replacement. He said he will step down from his daily responsibilities Feb. 29. He said he will retire officially after taking vacation time.
"I'm going to go do something else," he said. "I don't even know what I'm going to do. But I think if I don't stop now, I'm not going to stop — for a long time."
Waited for lawsuit resolution
Hendrick said he could have retired more than a year ago but wanted to stay until a federal class-action lawsuit critical of the state's foster care system was resolved.
Commissioners this month approved a revised settlement of the lawsuit. A federal judge has scheduled a hearing on the settlement for Feb. 29 in Tulsa.
Hendrick stopped at one point in his announcement and tried to fight back tears. A woman shouted out, "We love you, Howard." Another woman said, "We do."
"The hardest part is the people," Hendrick said in a high, strained voice when he was able to continue. "I just love the people."
Commissioners and the audience gave him a standing ovation. Hendrick then walked around the horseshoe-shaped commission table, receiving lengthy hugs from many commissioners.
In a separate 11-page letter to employees, Hendrick wrote, "There is never a 'perfect time' to leave. There will always be unfinished business. However, this seems to be the right time for me."
He also told employees in the letter that "a couple of firms have already expressed an interest in me working with them, and I want to see if they fit with what I believe I should do."
He thanked employees, writing, "You choose to make a difference with our most vulnerable neighbors even though your efforts will likely never receive the recognition they so richly deserve."
Hendrick on Friday had denied in Tulsa that he had any immediate plans to resign. He told reporters Tuesday he was not pressured into retirement. He said he made the final decision over the weekend.
"I've got peace about leaving," he said.
Hendrick talked during the meeting Tuesday and later to reporters about how the massive welfare agency has had to meet increased needs for its services without adequate funding.
"As the economy gets tougher and the number of people we serve increases and our costs go up and the dollars come down, the convergence of those three economic realities makes it very difficult to deliver the services," Hendrick told reporters. "We have the smallest staff we've had in 13 years. ... There's just a tremendous amount of strain right now."
Hendrick said he was proudest of his agency efforts to get children adopted.

Okay, here's the rest of the story…
Anyway, it appears there was no problem with either the Fit or Honda so those are the words I am eating…chomp chomp!! The Fit is a great little car but I do think I would like something with a bit more ground clearance. Sure gets good mileage though!
Russ finally caught the right bus and made it into the dealership today, a ride of about 40 miles. He got a look at the underside of the Fit but he only got one picture. Said there was more damage than is shown here.
Here is where we were so confused. We only saw the broken strut mount from the top and could not figure out how that could have happened. The Fit had been rolling along nicely all the way from Hood River with no problems at all. We were thinking if something hit the undercarriage, we would have heard it. What we failed to think about is that we were in the motor home and may not have heard anything at all – however I still fail to see how something that caused so much damage was not noticed by us. I was also a little dismayed that the service tech did not inform us of this right away. Russ talked to him several times and other than asking us what we hit, he made no mention of this under-carriage damage. Russ told him we didn't hit anything and he still said nothing about the damage. All we had seen was the broken mount.
Finally last night Russ talked to a manager and he told Russ about the extensive damage under the car. He said it is clear that something flew up and hit the car and there was nothing we could have done to prevent it. It is still a bit of a mystery though as we were traveling very slowly on the off ramp and had barely applied the brakes when we felt the initial jerk of the car. We thought the brakes had locked, but no amount of braking could have caused that damage…and certainly not the amount of brake that Russ had applied. We can only surmise that there was an object in the roadway or knocked into the roadway by a car on our right that we could not have seen.
So State Farm has indicated they will cover the damage under our collision coverage (cha-ching…that's the sound of the rates going up!)) Seems it's only covered under comprehensive if you know what you hit. If it is an unknown object, it is a collision. I don't know… but at any rate a $500 deductible is a whole lot easier to swallow than a bill for $6,600. So we don't have it in writing yet but the insurance rep did not anticipate any problems. Should have the car back by Monday at the latest.
I want to thank Gilbert Honda in College Place, Washington for their helpful and courteous service. They have been nothing but kind to us and if you ever find yourself in need of service int his area, call Gilbert Auto Group. Russ has had all the contact with them and he makes a comment below on his perspective of their service.
So, where do we go from here? We thought about just going on home since this has been a rather stressful few days. BUT, if we do that, if we run home with our tail between our legs, we will likely find it hard to get motivated to get out again. It's always easier to sit on your duff and let life pass you by. We could sit in our rockers until we die but that is not why we chose Therapy. We know we need to get out and be active and enjoy the life we have left. And so we will continue on our way because we are…Off Our Rockers, and into Therapy.
From our yard tonight…

And out the other window there was beautiful blue sky and big white fluffy clouds. I love the views here, big sky country like! I can hear some thunder rolling in the distance, so we're probably going to get some more "partial showers" yet today. Thanks for dropping by.ReplyDelete
After finally getting to the dealership today, I got to see the underside of the Fit. They had it up on a lift, and it was obvious that there was considerable damage to some expensive parts of the car caused by something that really whacked it hard! They were all extremely nice and very helpful at Gilbert Honda. Sure glad we were able to get it to a good dealer that will be able to take the proper care to fix it right. With the major problems that they showed me, I was just happy we weren't driving the car at the time of the accident. That would have been a very bad experience, indeed! There were no Honda parts that failed, just got smashed and bashed and jerked around badly. Sure looks a lot worse from underneath than it did from topside. They gave me a nice new Honda to drive as a rental car while they get ours fixed. This dealership is only about 9 months old at their new location, and the building and shop is great. Nice big shop, very clean. Nice folks, very knowledgeable and thoughtful. They even sent a chocolate chip cookie back with me for Donna. The coffee was good there, too. I can't say enough about how good they treated me. Gilbert Auto Group, you're the best! Thanks for being here for us!!ReplyDelete
That's a beautiful rainbow! Whew--I'm glad your insurance will pick up the cost of the repairs. I like your style--if you're off your rockers, that's a good thing!ReplyDelete
Boy! whatever it was had to be big or strong or in a high velocity to do such damage, huh? Glad u guys are ok...ReplyDelete
Definitely better to have to come up with $500 then $6600. And it's really great you found a place that is treating you well. Love the rainbow and I'm glad you are going to stay out.ReplyDelete
Great Attitude! Get back on that pony and ride, ride, ride! With a rainbow like that... right in your own backyard... it HAS to come out all right!ReplyDelete
For the right reasons I think you made the correct decision to carry on. Last December I was diagnosed with a large Kidney Stone & it was suggested we immediately return to Canada. For the same reason you made your decision, I made my decision & continued on to enjoy the rest of the winter in a place of my choise. The Southwest. No regrets:))ReplyDelete
I'm so glad the sun of a new day has brightened the outlook and the financial burden. Sometimes we forget that it can always be worse.ReplyDelete
nice rainbow and looks like your 'insurance' co is your pot of gold at the end of it...thank heavens..glad your carrying on !!! Thats the spirit and also happy to see you are getting excellent customer service...ReplyDelete
Glad you guys didn't give up and head home. You can still enjoy your trip regardless of what may have happened. Good for you for hanging in there!ReplyDelete
By the way maybe is your black tank still attached. Could it be laying back there on that off-ramp? Just kidding of course.
Donna, no need to apologize--my toes are fine. :-) And I have my own words to eat: my "toad brake lockup" theory doesn't hold up in the face of the undercarriage damage you saw.ReplyDelete
Anyway, I'm glad your insurance will cover the repairs. Keep on truckin'!
So glad you are getting your car fixed! Phew. That's NEVER fun!!!! I have a Honda CRV (2008) and I LOVE her! She takes me up and down the mountains...she already has 98,000 miles and she'll have to get a tune up this summer, but other than oil changes and a new set of tires, she's been (knock on wood...) without any problems! She just goes and goes! My Honda Accord got nearly 200,000 miles and our son still has her!ReplyDelete
I'm just glad it didn't happen on the way to the Columbia Gorge--you might have missed it! And, of course, that it's not a hit of 6K.ReplyDelete
Rich and I pulled out of Junction City with our brand new motorhome. We had gone to a place (don't remember the name), but I think it cost us 3K for the beautiful shield on the front of it.
Ten minutes into the drive a logging truck threw a good size log our way. It bounced a few times when it hit the ground, but there was no getting out of the way. It hit with a big thud. I felt very badly, but Rich said, "That's why I got the shield. There's no damage to the motorhome and you'll never even notice the damage to the shield.
We also once had a tire tear apart on the jeep we were towing. Had it not been for another driver signaling us to pull over we would have dragged it for who knows how long. We couldn't hear what was going on in the toad from the front of the motorhome.
Things can be fixed. Just good that you are okay.
Just keep on keepin' on...and never give up..Thanks for your kind words today...ReplyDelete
Hooray for State Farm...$500 is a lot better than$6,600. Love the rainbow shot...great capture.ReplyDelete
Blessings to you my friend. When life throughs you lemons, make lemonade.ReplyDelete
It was good to hear that State Farm came through fore you.
Press on!
WOW...that must have been some big "whatever" that hit your car. That is a ton of damage.ReplyDelete
So happy to read that you only have to pay the deductible. And wonderful news that the Dealership is so nice and easy to work with.
Please to hear that you two are not giving up. It is easy to throw in the towel but takes a ton of character to keep going.
Glad that the insurance will cover the damage and that your adventure continues!ReplyDelete
So glad the insurance is going to cover it! Yes, $500 is a bit of money, but as you say it could have been so much worse!ReplyDelete
enjoy the view..happy Rockin'!..glad to hear that the repair will be covered under your insurance..that in itself is great news!!ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry this happened, but thank goodness no one was hurt! It sounds like you guys have everything under control, and will be back on the road soon. Good luck with the repairs, and the rest of your trip! :)ReplyDelete
PS - I love the photo of Russ "pitching a Fit." It took me a minute to see what you did. Very clever! You should be a joke writer for a professional comedian. :)ReplyDelete
Have to have a liitle rain to get those kind of rainbows!ReplyDelete
Happy to hear you two are saddling up and getting back on those horses.
Sharon and Ron
That's good news. Thank goodness for insurance.ReplyDelete
Happy to hear everything is getting taken care of without too much hassle. FYI, if the damage had been due to something you did wrong while setting up the car to tow, insurance still would have covered it.ReplyDelete
I think you found what was at the end of that rainbow! :)ReplyDelete
I would have to say that you are not off of your rockers as the original engine pic showed no damage to where the rocker arms are . Off your struts, maybe, but not the rockers!ReplyDelete
Glad to hear that the insurance company stepped up. You were due for a rainbow to cheer you up ... a sure sign from Mother Nature that you're meant to continue with your travels.ReplyDelete
Holy Catfish ! What a shock in reading about your toad. I am just starting to read blogs again after nearly a week and a half of "real life occurring" It appears that Murphy has brought real life to your doorstep as well. Here is hoping all smooths out.ReplyDelete
Our first year on the road Len tangled with a diesel pump barrier and lost tearing the back cap from the fiver. Second year had two tires blow our within 3 hours ribbing the wheel coverings off the side of the rig. We became discouraged and thought about packing in it. Then cooler heads prevailed.ReplyDelete
I think all of us get discouraged when these things happen. Would it not be lovely to just move on down the road with no problems.
Hang tight and enjoy the ride.
FABULOUS picture - gotta love a rainbow!ReplyDelete
Rainbows somehow manage to make everything ok again. Thankful you and Russ are ok -- could have been much worse. So happy you are out of those rocking chairs and moving on with your trip 'cause I like seeing where you go and seeing it thru your eyes! Take care & God bless!ReplyDelete
Incredible damage to the Fit. Must have been some indestructible object that you ran over to do that.ReplyDelete
Glad to see you'll be covered under your collision and also that Honda is treating you well. I'm sure the Honda guys are pretty amazed to see that kind of damage to one of their cars too!
Well, when we read this, our first wonderment was if you got smacked by an alligator, the black rubber kind that lie in wait for us on the side of the road. But it would have had to be a big one! Hang on there! We are too! Hope to hear this morning about our transfer case problem.ReplyDelete
Holy macaroons. I would have thought you'd hear some racket, too. Silver lining: Therapy is well-insulated.ReplyDelete
Great rainbow photo!
I am SOOOO glad insurance is covering it. Wow!!ReplyDelete

My Email Digests
I haven't posted on a forum of any sort, but really looking to hear from other Moms out there. We have a very bright, and lovely 2 year old daughter. She's always been very warm and very loving. She's always been social and loves to meet new people. We have never had problems putting her to sleep, or eating. We of course have gone through the late night flu's and illnesses you run into with children. Nothing out of the ordinary. Life was going well. However, when our daughter was around 21 months old, she started to act up at the home childcare she went to. It was so sudden. She started hitting, screaming, causing a lot of problems. It was a very small home child care with only three other children around her age. Her childcare provider believed there must have been a radical change at home or something to cause this because it almost seemed to happen out of thin air. We didn't see any changes in her behavior at home and were caught off guard. She would push boundaries on occasions, but nothing extreem. She ended up getting so bad in a two week span that her childcare provider didn't want her there anymore. We had no idea what was happening. We also never saw the behavior so we enrolled her in another home childcare. Everything seemed okay. About a month 1/2 ago we were told she has still been acting out and not seeming to fit inline with the other children since she started. It was the first we had heard about it. She was there for about 2 months before something was said. We still were not seeing any changes at home. However, in the last three weeks or so, it seems like our daughter has become another person. She is almost constantly defiant, she tries to hit us, she bites herself out of frustration. She speaks very well for her age. She can speak in full sentences, tell us about her day, she knows her colors, numbers to 20, and can recall all sorts of things from memory. But when she gets in her tantrum she just can't express herself other then physical. It's like night and day all of a sudden. We spoke to her pediatrician who told us not to worry. It's all part of her age. We just have to be consistant. However, her childcare is getting to the point where she's too much to handle and had even said they believe she has a disability because she's different then the others in that her aggression to them seems too extreem. We take our daughter and her health and well being very seriously. We have spoken to a behavioral specialist and she will be monitoring our daughter at childcare next week. We are hoping to get to the bottom of things. We want to help her as soon as possible. I was just wondering if any other parents have gone through this. I know it's called "terrible twos" for a reason. But we can't catch a break. We can't take her out places because she's too defiant. We try and be as consistant as possible. I'll put my hands up and say I know at times I could be better at not giving in. I suffer from being someone who grew up being physically abused and I think I try and make up for it by giving in too easily or wanting to "spoil" her. But I've made a lot of progress being firm and sticking to my rules. Still not even a small improvement. It almost seems to be getting worse.
I know i've been rambling. I know we are doing a good thing by having a behavioral specialist spend some time with her and help us with some tools to help correct these behaviors. I just wanted to hear from others and their experiences. Maybe hear some tips that work for other mothers with defiant 2 year olds. We are up to try and hear anything!
Thank you in advance!View Thread

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky guard Joe Crawford underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee but should be ready when practice begins next month, the school announced Thursday.
Crawford, a senior, averaged 14 points for the Wildcats last season. He underwent surgery last week, the third Wildcat to have offseason surgery. Center Jared Carter (shoulder) and guard Derrick Jasper (knee) both had surgery in June.
"They are missing out on valuable conditioning time, which is a major part of any team's success," coach Billy Gillispie said. "We'll try to make up for lost time when they get healthy, but it puts us at a major disadvantage going into the season."
Kentucky begins practice on Oct. 12.

It's seems like new fad diets are popping up all the time. The gluten-free diet, however, has managed to survive longer than most, which makes me think that it probably has some merit. Yet the concept of gluten can be a little confusing. Google defines it as "a substance present in cereal grains, especially wheat, that is responsible for the elastic texture of dough." So what foods are actually gluten free?
I did some research and discovered five foods that you can safely nom upon without fear of consuming any gluten:
1. Sandstone
You know what sounds better than pasta? Sedimentary rock composed of sand or quartz grains that are stuck together. In fact, sandstone is way more fun than pasta! It's typically red, yellow, OR brown in color — which pasta can say that?
2. Leaves
Leaves are full of chlorophyll, which is great for your skin! People say "you are what you eat" all the time; if you're lucky (and eat enough foliage), maybe you'll stop needing food and start photosynthesizing instead!
3. Air
If you're short on time, air is a great gluten-free snack. Start carrying around an oxygen tank for a quick fix. Bonus: people might think you're sick and treat you more nicely!
4. Corn
This all-American BBQ favorite is still safe for those on a gluten-free diet. Go ahead: make corn bread, corn on the cob, popcorn — anything your beautiful little brain can imagine!
5: The internal organs of a celiac
Do you have a tasty-looking friend with celiac disease? Well, since they haven't eaten bread for years, they're safe to consume. Lucky you! Next time you go out to party, slip something in their drink and you're home free!

St. Lawrence Centre Marketing Assistant Lindsey S. Breitbeck said this years show will include six competitors and seven bands, with local rock band Tyrade headlining the show and closing the evening.
Tyrade, a band that describes itself as country metal, has played with such groups as Godsmack, Popa Roach and the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
Ms. Breitbeck said that while the band will not compete, it will play a full set after each of the six competing bands has played its 20-minute sets.
Were lucky to have Tyrade playing at this years show, she said. Theyve played with some pretty big names.
This years bands include Atomic Precipitation, Tree Humor, Into the Black, All the Fallen, Vicious Intent and a group that has yet to name itself.
Presale tickets are available for $8 at the malls customer service center and the arena box office and will soon be available at Northern Music & Video. Tickets will be available on the day of the show for $10, Ms. Breitbeck said.
This year were doing something new, and if college students bring in a college ID, their tickets are $5, she said.
She added it does not matter if students purchase their tickets in advance or at the door.
The six bands will compete for prizes that include a $100 mall gift card, two $50 Northern Music & Video gift certificates, a three-song demo recording session from North Country Public Radio and a ToneGen guitar tuner and tambourine donated by StarTech.
Prizes will be awarded for best overall band, best original song and honorable mention.
One band competing that night will also be invited back to perform at the malls annual Fourth of July celebration.
Ms. Breitbeck said bands will be judged on originality, creativity, sound quality and stage presence.
Also new this year will be the use of a sound meter to measure audience reaction.
A concession stand with soft drinks, snacks and glow sticks will be open during the battle and all proceeds from the evening will benefit Raquette Valley Habitat for Humanity.

I don't think Felicity and Cecilia work well together.
Felicity seems jovial and lithe.
Cecilia feels like a sick centipede.
Fiona reminds me of Shrek as much as I try not to think of it.
I think Felicity Amelia would be beautiful.
Felicity Cecilia: weird flow, but I love Felicity as a first name.
Cecilia Felicity: weird flow again, I think it comes from Cecilia Felicity.
Cecily Fiona: Cecily ends with silly and that bothers me. Cecily may cause pronunciation and spelling problems. I don't really like Fiona, but combined with Cecily its kind of cute.
Hope that I could help and not offend you. Best of luck.

The Good: What are you even doing looking at other brand name shoes to ride in? Five Ten owns the flat pedal shoe market, period. I've had the older model of this shoe and this revised version and they both rock. Sticky rubber that glues your feet to whichever flat pedal you run even in wet and muddy conditions. The hightop has great ankle protection and support which is great for people with weak ankles or protection from the rabid rock that comes up and tries to bite you. It is easy to clean the rubber soles and maintain the tops after a weekend of DH runs in any riding condition. The extra shoelaces that they come with is a great addition to a great product.
The Bad: They leave black marks on some surfaces, like my kitchen floor.

Inspector's comments: Cole slaw out of date - package date 9/17/12, not dated when opened. Date marking not on many meats, must date when opened and prepared. Rice spoon set out at room temp, must keep it in hot water — 135 degrees or above or in cold water 41 degrees or below, or keep track of time and change out. Watch scoop handles in product. Single serve cups stacked too high and not in sleeves.
