Childrenz Haven raising matching funds for grant
Polk County Enterprise - August 2009
LIVINGSTON — Childrenz Haven, a nonprofit corporation that advocates for child victims of physical or sexual abuse, is nearing a deadline to lock-in grant funds for the upcoming year. Contributions received by the end of August will be matched by grant funds, more than doubling the impact of those local donations.
The group's goal is to ease the strain on child victims and nonoffending parents as their offender is prosecuted and restore the child's life to normal, or as nearly normal as possible. If directors meet a target of $26,000, the local organization could get more than $50,000 in grant funds Childrenz Haven's first priority for these funds are to obtain equipment for forensic interviews of victims. Specially trained interviewers videotape the child's description of the event which may be observed from an area out of the child's sight and hearing. Those observation areas use one-way mirrors or video technology and make sure all investigators' questions are answered.
The child is not questioned again until a trial date nears and the victim may be asked what they remember. Later, those videotapes can be used to assist in the investigation of incidents the child describes. Interview videos are made available to both prosecutors and defense attorneys. The electronic evidence can demonstrate that the victim is describing a personal experience and has not been prompted to create a false report.. It's a win-win situation for investigators and someone wrongly accused. As part of a typical interview of a victim of suspected sexual assault, the child is asked to describe the difference between the truth and a lie Based on the child's answer, investigators, prosecutors and a defense team can assess the child's ability to distinguish between real and imaginary events.
Once the interviewer establishes rapport with the child they typically ask the child what terms they use for parts of their body that are covered by their swimsuit. Sometimes interviewers use pictures (but not dolls) for specific descriptions of what contact occurred in the incident under investigation. Whatever terms the child uses in his or her answers are the only ones used by the interviewer. Medical, anatomical or euphemisms commonly used by adults are omitted so as not to interfere with assessment of whether the child's knowledge of sexual behavior is age appropriate.
Acting out sexual behavior or using graphic, adult terms for body parts or actions is one of the first indicators commonly observed that a child has been victimized. Childrenz Haven is bringing together professionals from law enforcement, prosecutors, child protection investigators, mental health and health care providers to offer a multidisciplinary team with a broad range of services for victims. They are completing steps to partner with the Children's Advocacy Center of Texas Inc. (CACTX) a statewide group with the same mission to restore the lives of abused children. All of the services provided to victims by Childrenz Haven will be free. CACTX serves children who become involved in the criminal justice system because of suspected sexual abuse or serious physical abuse or who have witnessed a violent crime. CACTX provides assistance to developing local organizations including training, case tracking, a resource library, mentoring and assessments to assist local groups in expanding prevention efforts, services offered and number of children served.
Once Childrenz Haven is a fully functioning CAC, Sherry Sprayberry, victim advocate for the Polk County District Attorney's Office, believes it will reduce the cost of investigating and prosecuting child abuse cases. Memorial Medical Center- Livingston and several nurses on staff there are in the final stages of opening an exam suit and certified staff to conduct sexual assault exams in Livingston. A nurses certified to perform a Sexual Assault Nurse Exam (SANE) gathers medical evidence to determine if a sexual assault occurred and provides expert testimony when a case goes to trial. Sexual assault victims are not billed for SANE exams performed by MMC. Currently, victims have to travel to Lufkin, Conroe or Houston for such an exam. To preserve evidence when a sexual assault is reported immediately after the event, victims are asked not to change clothes, shower or use the restroom – adding to the discomfort of the victim.
A victim advocate accompanies the child and family members to the exam This requires a minimum of a 100 mile round trip and hours of time logged at taxpayers' expense. Once that evidence is collected, the chain of custody must be protected or it will not be admitted as evidence at trial. That means the nurse examiner or forensic interviewer must place the evidence directly into the hands of a law enforcement officer who transfers it to a secure evidence storage area. That's time and travel expenses for another 100-mile round trip by an officer from the law enforcement agency handling the case. When Childrenz Haven has this streamlined process in place, Sprayberry believes more victim families will report sexual assault. "Nearly everybody knows someone who's gone through this ordeal," Sprayberry said. "Some people will not report a sexual assault because of the trauma to the child. Sometimes parents just don't show up for a SANE exam after its been set up because of the difficulties they see ahead."
Sprayberry adds that the reluctance to pursue criminal charges is understandable. The child is crying, the family is distraught. Naturally they just go home and comfort the child, not drive an hour to a hospital and wait to be see by the nurse examiner. Plans for Childrenz Haven include providing a site for forensic interviews. The interview suite wll be located away from law enforcement. "A police station is not child friendly. Having men walking in and out with guns on their hip is scarier to children that most adults think," Sprayberry said. "We want a safe, secure, children friendly environment." Investigators will have a separate entrance if they're attending an interview. CACTX guidelines call for an site that won't be automatically associated with any investigative role. Should someone acquainted with the child see them going into the facility should not be led to make an assumption that the child is a victim or involved in ongoing investigation based on the building's appearance or location, according to CACTX guidelines.
The site Childrenz Haven is planning will also be conducive to play therapy and other mental health services that are focused on restoring a normal childhood for the victim once the criminal justice proceedings are over. The team-building aspect of Childrenz Haven is also working to make the time frame from outcry to trial and possible sentencing as short as possible. With members of a sexual assault response team working together, cases will progress faster. Team members will meet in one place, working together. CACTX training also allows teams to secure webbased systems to track cases so that they move toward final disposition of the case as efficiently as possible. It currently takes a year or more for a sexual assault case to come to trial.
The Polk County District Attorney's office is seeing more of these cases concluded with a plea agreement, eliminating a trial in district court and protecting the child from having to testify before a room full of strangers and, more alarmingly, his abuser. CACTX statistics show that 195 children in Texas become victims of abuse every day. More than 70,000 cases of child abuse a year are confirmed in Texas. One in four girls is sexually abused before her 18th birthday. One in boys is sexually abused by his 18th birthday. Last year, 40,000 children in Texas received services from CACTX. Seventy-five percent of those children were involved in sexual abuse cases. Ninety-eight percent of the children served new their perpetrator. Over half of the children served by CACs are under age 13; 30 percent are not old enough to attend kindergarten.

Greene, N.Y. — The Raymond Corporation is now an independent distributor for the sale, rental and lease of Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) GenDrive™ fuel cell units in North America. As an Authorized Service Provider, Raymond also will provide warranty and maintenance service on GenDrive products through its North American Sales and Service Center network. In addition, Raymond is a GenDrive Authorized Distributor of service parts.
"Plug Power is a fuel cell market leader, and this partnership enables Raymond to offer cutting-edge lift truck power solutions to the material handling industry," says Chuck Pascarelli, executive vice president of sales and marketing for The Raymond Corporation. "Through this agreement, Raymond and its Sales and Service Center network can aid companies in the deployment of fuel cell-powered lift trucks and provide ongoing service and support throughout the life of the trucks."
"Raymond's leading AC technology, coupled with Plug Power's proven GenDrive solutions will bring superior power and performance to the electric lift truck market," says Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. "By investigating and commercializing new technologies to power its durable, reliable lift trucks, Raymond is helping to offer companies a seamless solution for installing fuel cell-powered lift trucks."
GenDrive fuel cell power units have been tested and approved for use in Raymond® Model 8400 pallet trucks, Model 4100 and 4200 stand-up counterbalanced trucks, and various Model 7400 Reach-Fork® trucks. Raymond is evaluating additional Raymond lift truck models to assess their compatibility with hydrogen fuel cells.
Based on recent demonstrations by lift truck and fuel cell manufacturers, there appears to be significant potential to improve warehouse productivity when fuel cells are used to power lift trucks in high-throughput warehouse applications. Hydrogen fuel cells can offer higher productivity in electric lift trucks because they can be rapidly refueled by operators, eliminating the need to change, store and maintain batteries. Plus, fuel cells produce constant voltage, which means there is no battery drop toward the end of a shift, and the vehicle experiences no performance degradation.

Information Architecture Essentials
Are you responsible for a product or service that has to make sense across multiple channels, devices, or places? Maybe you're figuring out where and how to integrate new capabilities into an existing website or mobile application?
If you're ever having to determine what things are, where they should go, and how they should connect to everything else, you need information architecture.
This new workshop, presented by the Information Architecture Institute, will show you the ropes: what IA is, how you go about it, and what are the main tools and techniques that information architects use to make things more findable and understandable.
The workshop will balance theory and practice, with roughly equal time devoted to presentations, open discussion, and hands-on, practical exercises you can use in your projects. It's appropriate for practitioners who have been doing IA-related work and want to learn more, as well as those who are new to IA practice.
Space is limited, so register today for this workshop and the conference.

Relentless Draws Near
It's been a pretty quiet few weeks since Deg yn Llandegla but my last big event of the season fast approaches, another of No Fuss' events, Niterider Relentless 24. 24 hours, solo, on my own, no one else.... apart from Lou and Scottish Mike who's kindly offered to come over from Inverness to help out for the weekend. What with the weather having taken a turn for the worse (as if it could be worse after the pretty dismal August we had), I'm thinking October in Fort William could be interesting, unless we have a late summer, which would be great! If it rains, well, then I'll just wear my jacket and get on with it.
Training seems to be going well but after a few big weeks, both in quantity and intensity, signs started to show that I was overdoing it (for me anyway), so this week will be a quieter week for me, so that I can recover and start my "race prep" period next week nice and fresh. I did however pull off a good time at last weekend's 2011 Brecon Beast 100km in 4 hours 25 minutes in pretty shitty conditions. I started that event with nearly 800km in my legs from the previous 12 days, so wasn't as rested as I'd have liked to have been for an event, but it was a training ride. It was the first time I'd entered. Great event, well organised and it was great to ride very familiar trails under "race" conditions. I finished amongst the first group so was pleased with that.
The other project that's been ongoing for the last few weeks is my van refit, exciting stuff! I know nothing about electrics but have managed to fit a leisure batttery, lights circuits, 12v and 240v sockets and an inverter without making my hair stand on end. Yet. I had Mike Welch and Rich Holmes at the other end of the email line and they were bombarded with questions, as they seems to know what they're doing with these things. Thanks! I've also made a nifty false-floor box type thing that we can store all our stuff inside. Looks cool, and seems to work, and hopefully it'll make our weekends away easier and more comfortable.
So what's next? A bit of rest this week, then on to some more training and the Coed y Brenin Enduro the week before Relentless. Should be fun!
Don't forget you can follow me on @LocoBMRacing :-)

Ethiopia releases five journalists, drops all charges against them
Nairobi, July 8, 2015--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the release from prison today of two bloggers affiliated with the independent Ethiopian collective Zone 9 and three other journalists. All charges have been dropped against them, according to exiled Ethiopian journalists who spoke to CPJ and a report by the pro-government Fana Radio. The journalists--editor Asmamaw Hailegiorgis; freelancers Edom Kassaye and Tesfalem Waldyes; and bloggers Mahlet Fantahun and Zelalem Kibret--were arrested in late April 2014, along with four other Zone 9 bloggers--Abel Wabella, Atnaf Berhane, Befekadu Hailu, and Natnail Feleke. All were charged with incitement and terrorism, according to news reports.

Hutchinson County United Way was announced to be number one per capita of giving in Texas for the 2010 year. To come up with this result, they take the number of people in the county divided by the amount that was raised.
Julie Winters, Director of Hutchinson County United Way, said, "I knew we were running a successful campaign but, I guess I never even dreamed it would make number one. At first I was amazed. It's not the work I do, it's the people's hearts of the community in which I live and work."
Recently United Way held the Day of Caring. There were 60 jobs that were completed and over 240 volunteers that were willing to give their time.
Winters stated, "It's not just the money but, it's also time and hard work the people are generously willing to give from the heart."
Hutchinson County United Way will host its 2011 "Kickoff" on Thursday, Sept. 22, 2011, at Graced Land East.
The event will start off at 11:40 and will be full of booths for the citizens to browse.

When we first bought our $1,200 HDTV six years ago, we told ourselves never to go to the movies again until we watched enough DVDs to pay for the purchase. Every time we went to the movies, we'd have to pay on average $20 for tickets. A promise was made that only after we watched 75 DVD rentals ($1,500 bucks in movie tickets saved – $300 for Netflix fee), would we treat ourselves out to the theater. We reached our goal within two years, and in the four years afterwards we've only gone to three movies!
We realized that once we went through the initial 6 month waiting period for the latest movies to come out on DVD, all was fresh again. We're now programmed to watch movies with a 6 month lag, bringing us the same opening night excitement. The annoyance of someone sitting right in front of you in an empty theater and jabbering away is no more! Furthermore, a 52″ screen and six point surround sound system sure helps replicate the big screen experience!

They're asking residents and visitors to be careful as the unofficial start to the summer vacation season gets under way with the Memorial Day weekend.
State Forestry spokesman Dan Ware says it's extremely dry in many areas and it only takes one careless mistake for a fire to endanger lives and communities.
So far this year, nearly 170 fires have scorched close to 5,800 acres of state and private land around New Mexico.
The high fire danger stems from strong winds, warm temperatures, prolonged drought and heavy fuel loads.
Ware says fire danger is higher along the Middle Rio Grande Valley and the western third of the state.

I love to use this Halston spray, it has excellent refreshing fragrance. I got good compliments from both men and women. I would highly recommend this product...
This item was offered with FREE SHIPPING for the amount of my order ($27+), but my receipt/charge reflects $5.99 for shipping.
Myotcstore.com Comments: Please use the discount code FREESHIP25 to redeem free shipping discount. Thanks for bringing to our attention. We will look into this.
I can't find this anywhere at any store and Myotcstore has it..I love it they always have everything you need and at great prices.
Clear is virtually scentless. Others are too aromatic. I need clear without the perfume aroma. Wegmans in Rochester no longer carries. Does anyone else?
Old Spice Fresh is the best after shave that I have ever used. It has a very masculine scent,a very pleasant scent. When I could no longer find it at Wal-Mart I searched the web to find it and was so glad I could still purchase it.

text: In the office, I have problem getting the 24 days leave. After submitting the intention form, I asked my boss and he granted the leave. It is a miracle. –Y. C., Andra Pradesh, India Initially, my vacation was not approved for July IA but in October things happened quickly. Not only did I get the approval but my manager is flying from USA for a week to manage the team in my absence. After that, my company's CEO is flying in for 2 weeks to ensure the team is not alone. This is very significant because the company is small and I am in charge of the Bangalore branch. The way this program took shape is simply amazing. –R. G., Bangalore, India Getting 21 days leave from the office and home were almost impossible. After getting my intention form blessed, I was able complete long pending projects timely to attend Oct IA. Surprisingly, my boss easily agreed to 21 days leave and more surprisingly, my wife let me go. Thanks Swamiji. –D. T., Mumbai, India I could not attend any of the IA's in 2011. Amazingly, there were job urgencies or time constraint all through 2011. In 2012, after Swamiji's blessings, suddenly everything fell in place for me to attend this IA. I am sure it would have been Swamiji's wish that I attend the first 2012 IA. –Ramasamy, Mumbai, India I work for a professional services firm as a specialist consultant and the firm used to send me to the international finanacial instituition. My time for the first quarter had been already booked to a client. After Swamiji blessed my intention, I simply applied for holiday stating the straight reason-Inner Awakening program. No promises were made by my company as my time is already booked. So it depends on the client. The client had a meeting and decided to slow down a project and hence immediately approved by the program board. The very next day just in my eyes, i saw decisions being revised and my request reinstated. Since they already granted my holiday, i am here now and my place is being filled by someone else. –Shanmuga Sundaram, UK I had problem in getting leave at work. I told this to Swamiji and Swamiji blessed saying, it will happen. After that, without any issues, my leave was approved without me even demanding much. –Jyothi Lakshmi, India After submitting the intention form and receiving Swamiji's blessings, my work schedule was rearranged for me overnight, which was almost impossible. I took no part in the changes. –Martin Kraus, USA Originally, I had problem with coming to IA because my manager had issues with me taking 3 weeks off. After Swamiji's blessings, I got my leave approved as the project release was delayed. Thank you Swamiji. –Judy, California It is really a miracle, I really still don't know how I overcome the obstacles to attend the Inner Awakening program. I just prayed to swamiji as I felt this is the only way for me to come to from out of my problems –Jayarani, Malaysia I just followed swamiji's words. I remembered him throughout my actions. With Swamiji's blessings, got my leave approved within 2 weeks instead of long procedure takes minimum 1-3 months. –Thilaka Batumalai, Malaysia

2002 Dodge Ram Wagon 3500 Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2002 Dodge Ram Wagon 3500 Base Passenger Van at this time
2002 Dodge Ram Wagon 3500 Base Passenger Van cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

As usual, I'm not sure where this should go, but I guess this is as good a place as any. I'm wanting to make a petticoat similar to this one:
but all the tutorials I can find online are only one layer of tulle thick, and I want it to be fluffy at the bottom, like this one.
Does anybody know how to achieve this, or where I can find a good tutorial for it?
Can you make the URL a link? I may be able to help.
------I'm going to Costume College!
Sorry, I thought I'd put it as a link before... Apparently not.
Here :)
I did that in the fifties. you night be able to find a skirt pattern with tiers,that is helpful my petticoats used to have a hoek of charmeuse and than to eight layers of tulle and you had to put bias trims on everything seam and hem. tulle can easily scratch you and spoil your stockings
Be sure and take the advice about bias tape seriously. I suffered hours and hours of discomfort as a child due to fashionable but unfinished crinolines. No one wants to spend their big day squirming in pain thanks to poorly lined and finished tulle petticoats.
-- Edited on 5/17/13 4:36 PM -- -- Edited on 5/17/13 4:36 PM --
------I've quit fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
It's just fabric; we can out-think it.
I used to make skirts like that and someone here recently was asking about a tiered skirt pattern. You might want to search "skirt" in the past few months and see what pops up.
If I recall correctly, the ratios for the tiers were 1 1/2 X waist measurement for the top tier, 2X for the middle one and 3 for the bottom. In this case, you want the topmost tier to not be too fluffy, so go by hip measurement (because it has to fit over your hips to get it on), add a bit for ease and seam allowances and then the length of the other tiers get added on to that.
It looks to me as though the very bottom layer of this is done by making a long, long ruffle and I would guess at least 2 1/2 to 3 X longer than the length of the bottom tier. It is folded in half length-wise, gathered and applied to the bottom tier.
You may or may not wish to use a ruffler for this part of the process. You can see the finished dress in my avatar.
ETA - the best way to avoid the scratching problem is to put a layer of something soft and silky under the net or tulle. I put the inner layer of my gowns "inside out" so none of the organza seam allowances can scratch me and my old square dance crinolines had a layer of tricot (I think) next to the body. -- Edited on 5/17/13 5:21 PM --
------http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.
Also look for pettiskirt tutorials. They are ment for little girls but if you lengthen the tiers you can make them any length you want. I used the martha stewart directions to make one for my niece and it worked well. I definatly recomend a ruffler foot. It makes short work of all those gathers. I just set it for the most ruffle it would make and went. Also the pettiskirts are made with light weight nylon tricot so no need to finish the edges and they are nice and soft against the skin. Good luck.
Actually, you can choose your fabric for the effect your want. Chiffon has a softer motion, organza is a bit more "bouncy" and a stiff net will move almost as a unit, with less undulation than a softer fabric. Chiffon will also require more fabric to get the same volume (amount of "pouf") than a stiffer fabric.
I noticed a funny thing reading the Martha Stewart tutorial. When I read lists of supplies needed for a project and it includes things like "sewing machine" and "scissors" my eyes instantly skip to the bottom of the page. My brain perceives that, in spite of a need for such supply lists for new sewers/crafters, the first 3/4 of the instructions will be completely useless for me. This attitude has no doubt accounted for more than one project failure! My brain needs to smarten up.
To make it crisp enough to stand out at the bottom you will need to use can-can net which has good stiffness as well as pliability instead of the basic tulle sold at JoAnn. I once found can can net at a Hancock's store. Dance and theatrical supply places should carry it. Sometimes it is called crinoline net.
In the add it mentions two layers of skirting, and i noticed that the bottom layer seems to have a ruffle attached also!made by Bronwyn has a tutorial very similar to this, although in a child size. As previous poster mentioned, just size up-Here is a link for petticoat pond where the directions for Alice Lond's petticoats can be found- lady on Lawrence Welk famous for her petticoats- this will be full size, and the edges are bound.

By The Heritage Foundation
As Americans watch with horror, the death toll from the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan continues to climb into the thousands. Recent experience has taught the U.S. the crippling effects of disasters—from earthquakes to hurricanes, floods, fires, and oil spills. It is vital that U.S. disaster preparedness undergo constant evaluation and that key changes are made before the country faces another incident, whether natural or man-made.
Ongoing Heritage Foundation research has identified key areas where disaster preparedness should be reviewed and improved. Success must include the private sector, federal agencies, state and local resources, and the military.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the States
More Than Lip Service: Why Private-Sector Engagement Is Essential
August 25, 2010 Jena Baker McNeillhttp://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2010/08/More-Than-Lip-Service-Why-Private-Sector-Engagement-Is-Essential
Perhaps one of the most significant lessons learned from recent U.S. disasters is that the private sector is a critical actor in the homeland security enterprise. Time and again, from the attacks of September 11 to Hurricane Katrina—and even recently with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill—the private sector has been at the forefront of relief and recovery operations. The private sector's indispensable role begs for the federal government to form solid bonds with industry. These relationships not only promote security innovations but allow these new developments to be plugged directly into disaster response efforts.
Forget Earmarks, FEMA Declarations Show Federalization Run Amok
December 2, 2010 Matt Mayerhttp://blog.heritage.org/?p=47532
From 1787 to 1992, virtually every natural disaster that occurred in America was handled entirely by states and localities and without any federal involvement. Starting in 1993, the U.S. has federalized more natural disasters every presidential Administration. From tornadoes to floods to fires to storms, events that just 20 years ago were ignored by Washington are today treated as if a Category 5 hurricane has hit.
This federalization—like Medicaid, transportation, and earmarks—has created a growing level of dependency by states and localities on FEMA to the point where states have cut their emergency management budgets, knowing that FEMA would subsidize the state's natural disaster functions. As a result, states aren't prepared for the routine, and FEMA spends too little time preparing for the truly catastrophic.
Federalizing Disasters Weakens FEMA—and Hurts Americans Hit by Catastrophes
April 13, 2010 Matt Mayer and Mark DeBosierhttp://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2010/04/Federalizing-Disasters-Weakens-FEMA-and-Hurts-Americans-Hit-by-Catastrophes
FEMA has been responding to almost any natural disaster around the country, be it a contained three-county flood or a catastrophe of near-epic proportions like Hurricane Katrina. As a result, many states and localities have trimmed their own emergency-response budgets, often leaving them ill-prepared to handle even rain- or snowstorms without federal assistance. This leaves FEMA stretched far too thin and ill-prepared to respond to grand-scale catastrophes.
The "federalization of disasters" misdirects vital resources, leaving localities, states, and the federal government in a lose–lose situation. FEMA policies should be overhauled to let localities handle smaller, localized disasters and to allow FEMA to respond fully and effectively when it is truly needed. If the status quo continues, it will be a disaster for everyone.
States: Stop Subsidizing FEMA Waste and Manage Your Own Local Disasters
September 29, 2009 Matt Mayerhttp://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2009/09/States-Stop-Subsidizing-FEMA-Waste-and-Manage-Your-Own-Local-Disasters
All disasters are local. Or so many politicians proclaim. Yet 29 states send their tax money to FEMA only to end up footing the disaster-response bill for the other 21. Unfair? Incredibly so—and inefficient—explains Heritage homeland security expert Matt Mayer. Instead of nationalizing disaster management, states should keep their FEMA taxes and fund and manage their own local disasters. Mayer explains how to amend the Stafford Act to make this happen.
The Local Role in Disaster Response: Lessons from Katrina and the California Wildfires
June 4, 2008 Matt Mayer, Richard Weitz, Ph.D., and Diem Nguyenhttp://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2008/06/The-Local-Role-in-Disaster-Response-Lessons-from-Katrina-and-the-California-Wildfires
The October 2007 wildfires in California provide a revealing glimpse into the continued federalization of disasters. Trumpeted as proof that Washington is ready for the next Hurricane Katrina, California's response really demonstrates that well-organized state and local efforts are far more critical than federal ones.
Rather than encourage more Washington-centric solutions, Congress and the White House should focus on lessening the federal role in day-to-day state-level emergencies and emphasize a greater responsibility among state and local communities for preparing and developing response plans for local disasters.
Principles for Reform of Catastrophic Natural Disaster Insurance
April 8, 2009 Matt Mayer, David John, and James Carafano, Ph.D.http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2009/04/Principles-for-Reform-of-Catastrophic-Natural-Disaster-Insurance
Along with the winds, rain, and storm surges of Hurricane Katrina came a cacophony of voices urging Congress to adopt a catastrophic hurricane (CAT) fund. A CAT fund, like the bankrupt and highly inefficient National Flood Insurance Program, would provide government insurance to homeowners and businesses to protect against the next catastrophic hurricane. Lost in the chorus of doomsayers is the inconvenient fact that Hurricane Katrina—the most expensive natural disaster in American history—did not bankrupt the insurance industry. Unlike the current Wall Street financial crisis, the industry did not even require a federal bailout.
Military Readiness
Isn't Prepared for Another Big Disaster
October 3, 2010 James Carafano, Ph.D.http://www.heritage.org/Research/Commentary/2010/10/America-isnt-prepared-for-another-big-disaster
On September 15, 2010, the Abbot–Keating Commission—chartered by Congress to assess the Pentagon's capacity to respond in truly catastrophic disasters—reported its conclusions in "Before Disaster Strikes: Imperatives for Enhancing Defense Support of Civil Authorities." That subtitle pretty much says it all. The armed forces are not ready.
Some of the report's findings are simply stunning. For example, despite nine years of post-9/11 ramping up, "there is currently no comprehensive national integrated planning system to respond to either natural or man-made disasters."
To make matters worse, federal, state, and local agencies are not even sharing what they are doing now. They are not, the report admonished, "making a sustained and comprehensive effort to share all-hazards response plans."
Accepting Disaster Relief from Other Nations: Lessons from Katrina and the Gulf Oil Spill
February 17, 2011 Jena Baker McNeill, James Carafano, Ph.D., Matt Mayer, and Richard Weitz, Ph.D.http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2011/02/Accepting-Disaster-Relief-from-Other-Nations-Lessons-from-Katrina-and-the-Gulf-Oil-Spill
The United States is known around the world for sending help—from in-person medical assistance to financial donations—when disasters strike in other countries. When disasters have recently struck the U.S.—9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the Gulf oil spill—other countries have been equally quick to offer help. Yet, as astute as the U.S. is when it comes to delivering aid, the opposite is the case when it comes to responding to foreign offers of aid. It is crucial that the U.S. develop a reliable process by which to accept help from other countries when it is needed. Four national security experts lay out a plan for such a process.
Review and Reform
Tragic events such as Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf oil spill revealed holes in America's disaster preparedness. To prevent future losses of life and property from natural and man-made disasters, the U.S. should localize disaster response and make sure that government entities are integrated with the private sector. Congress should invest intelligently in the military to boost military response capabilities.

Boy, 11, banned from joining Scouts for not believing in God
Posted: October 18, 2012|
An 11-year-old Midsomer Norton boy has been banned from joining his local Scout troop because he says he does not believe in God.
Because of his strong views, George Pratt said he is not able to make the Scout Promise which requires Scouts to promise to do their duty to God and the Queen.
This means that as George is not able to be invested as a full Scout he can no longer attend the group which meets opposite his home.
George had been going to Scouts for ten months when he was asked whether he wanted to be invested in the group, and his strong stand came to light when he and Scout leaders were discussing the Scout law and promise.
Related content
He had been delighted to be asked to join the movement and had been excited about the prospect of becoming a Scout but is disappointed that he cannot continue.
His parents said they have to respect George's views but are disappointed that the Scouting movement takes such a narrow view.
Dad Nick said: "As a family we neither promote nor dismiss any religion and hold no firm views on God in any form, and have always let our children make up their own mind as and when they feel they can make an informed choice."
Mr Pratt said he is surprised that the Scouting movement is not more tolerant.
He said: "George had the guts to stand up and admit his view and I believe the Scouts are being narrow minded when we are supposed to be tolerant."
Mr Pratt said George had been brought up to be courteous, kind and considerate and able to contribute in a constructive manner.
He said: "To be invested into the Scouts you have to believe in a God, it does not say which religion that God is from, so you can be Muslim or Buddhist, but if you have the courage to stand up and admit that you do not believe in any God then look out because you are not welcome into the Scout community. This is regardless of the fact that you are sensitive, generous, kind and genuinely a good person."
Assistant director of media relations for the Scout Movement, Simon Carter, said: "All young people are required to make the Scout Promise if they wish to become a Scout.
"Variations of the Scout Promise are available for different faiths (such as the use of 'Allah' to replace 'God' for Muslim Scouts), however all the variations of the Promise recognise the 'Duty to God' element. Young people are required to show both an understanding (relevant to their age) and an acceptance of the promise before they become a member.
"Young people will not be refused membership solely because of their parents' beliefs or non-beliefs, however they are required to make the promise as outlined above.
"Furthermore, Scouting accepts that as they grow into independent adults, some young people may question or doubt the existence of God as they develop their personal spiritual understanding. Scouting believes that young people going through this process should be able to remain a Scout."

The U.S. Navy force patrolling the Slot (the passage formed by the Solomons) on the night of 6–7 October consisted of the destroyers Selfridge, Chevalier, and O'Bannon, under the command of Captain Frank R. Walker. When an accurate assessment of Ijuin's strength became known, however, three destroyers under Captain Harold O. Larson were detached from convoy duty and sent speeding to the scene. Larson arrived too late to participate in the action.
The sea was calm, and a brilliant half moon made for excellent visibility when a Japanese search plane reported, at 8:58 p.m., that Walker's force consisted of one cruiser and four destroyers, the first of a number of mistakes the Japanese were to make. Ijuin allowed the subchaser group to proceed on to Vella Lavella (this group had left earlier and was ahead of the main body), but he ordered the destroyer-transports (which were also ahead of the main body) back to the Shortlands; their two escorts, the destroyers Samidare and Shigure, were to join the main group. Walker made contact at 10:31, and his radar picked up the two Japanese groups just before they joined. Walker made for the larger group.
Ijuin mishandled his force, missed a chance to cap the T, and ended up with his ships staggered and the Yugumo masking the torpedo tubes of the other three. In the exchange that followed, U.S. gunfire and a torpedo sank the Yugumo but not before a torpedo from the latter struck the Chevalier a mortal blow. The O'Bannon, following through thick gun smoke, collided with the Chevalier, and although she was able to back clear, she was also out of the fight. The Selfridge continued on alone as all five of the Japanese ships headed west (Japanese aircraft had reported Larson's force coming up from the south as cruisers), but at 11:06 p.m., a torpedo caught the Selfridge on her port side. Ijuin fled the scene, leaving the U.S. destroyer Chevalier damaged so badly she had to be sunk and the other two ships barely able to limp home to Tulagi. The subchaser group meanwhile rescued the stranded Japanese troops and escaped unnoticed.
The final chapter was written the next morning when four U.S. patrol torpedo (PT) boats were sent in 5 miles west of Vella Lavella to look for survivors. The PT 163 picked up 33 of the Yugumo's crew and put in at Biloa to transfer them to the army; at that point, 1 of the Japanese killed a sailor with his own gun and was in turn killed, along with 3 other prisoners who joined in the fray.

'Ag-Gag' Bill Threatens To Squash Whistleblowers In Midwest
You may have heard bad things about big agriculture before. "Corporate domination", "animal factory", and "sewage city" are all buzz words thrown around about the industry. But now, there's good news: soon, you may not have to hear about it anymore…because they won't let you!A new bill preventing people from documenting conditions in factory farms is threatening to silence whistleblowers who expose unsafe working environments and animal abuses in Indiana.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
An accident on U.S. Highway 6 approximately one mile south of Sunnyside Junction last Wednesday created traffic problems and sent one victim to Castleview Hospital for medical treatment.
At about 7:21 p.m. on on March 27, a southbound 2001 Toyota Corolla driven by Kelly Simon, 17 of Salt Lake, purportedly attempted to pass a tractor trailer rig, indicated Utah Highway Patrol investigatiors.
In the process, the driver apparently misjudged the distance of another oncoming rig and struck the vehicle, pushing back the second axle of the truck so it had to be put out of service.
The Simon car was smashed on the left driver's side and came to rest about 50 yards beyond the tractor trailer it hit on the southbound side of the road.
"The driver of the tractor trailer rig saw it coming and swerved to the right," indicated UHP Trooper Jason Marshall. "It was almost a head on between the two."
The driver of that rig, Louis Allen, 50, of Collinston, was uninjured in the mishap.
The Simon car carried three passengers, Robin Viavant, 18, Keith Walker, 18 and Nicholas Knowlton, 19, all of Salt Lake.
Knowlton sustained injuries in the crash and was transported to Castleview Hospital, where the victim was treated and later released.
"Everyone in the Toyota was wearing seatbelts, except Knowlton," added Marsall. "He was also the only one injured."
Simon was issued a citation for reckless driving and unlawful purchase/possession/consumption of alcohol.
None of the passengers traveling inside the car had been drinking, but the alcohol was present in the vehicle.
"It had not been consumed," said Marshall. "In fact Simon admitted to me that he had promised his mother that he wouldn't start drinking until they arrived where they were going."

The Bizzell Memorial Library, known also as Bizzell Library, is located at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. It was designed by the architecture firm Layton Hicks & Forsyth, and constructed in 1929 during the administration of OU's fifth president, William Bennett Bizzell. It is an elaborate Collegiate Gothic building and is a National Historic Landmark of the United States.[3]
It is nationally significant for its association with the racial desegregation court case of George McLaurin, a black man who was at first denied admission to the University of Oklahoma's law school solely on the basis of race. After a court ruling, he was admitted, but under separate but equal doctrine he was given a desk in the mezzanine of this building, rather than being allowed use of the regular reading room. He appealed the segregation up to the U.S. Supreme Court, in McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.[3] In this and a companion case, the Supreme Court ruled against the segregation. This was a precedent for the more famous 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case later.
Under George Lynn Cross, the University's seventh president, a 1958 addition effectively tripled the size of the structure.
After a generous donation by Doris W. Neustadt, a 1982 addition was completed during the William Banowsky administration. Presently, Bizzell serves as the flagship research library in the state of Oklahoma and of the University's system of eight libraries on the Norman campus that hold a combined 4.2 million volumes. Bizzell also houses the University Libraries administration, History of Science, Nichols Rare Books, Bass Business and Bizzell Bible Special Collections and the University of Oklahoma School of Library and Information Studies.
