I just returned from San Francisco, where I attended Slow Food Nation, the first-ever conference/meeting/food fair dedicated to the slow food movement. Basically, the idea was this: bring together a bunch of folks who were active in crafted, traditional, and delicious foods, and present their work to the general public on a large scale. We've known about this for a while, and were thrilled when we were approached to participate in the event. Here was the idea: bring together coffee people who are most active in the farm to cup coffee movement, and give those attending Slow Food Nation an unforgettable coffee experience, with a special focus on the coffee producer.
The coffee portion of the event was "curated" by the coffee team of Eilee Hassi, of Ritual Coffee Roasters, Tony Konecny, known to the coffee world as Tonx, and Andrew Barnett of Ecco Caffe. These folks organized an incredible team of coffee people, too long to list, who brought wonderful coffees and amazing expertise to the table. I arrived in San Francisco on Friday morning, not entirely knowing what to expect. I was a little early, so I was able to spend time visiting such bay area coffee landmarks as Ritual in the mission district, Four Barrel coffee roasters just down the street, and Blue Bottle coffee. All had incredible coffee and were wonderful folks, but that is another story entirely.
I finally made my way over to the "Taste Pavilion," where we were to do our coffee presentations. I was astounded by the space: a large warehouse on a dock at San Francisco's Fort Mason was filled with whimsically designed structures dedicated to the foodstuffs to be featured at the event: bread, native American foods, fish, pickles, honey and preserves, charcuterie, cheese, chocolate, ice cream, wine, olive oil, tea, and of course coffee (fresh produce and prepared foods were featured at the "victory garden" locale, in the plaza facing San Francisco City Hall.) Anyway, I went straight to the amazing coffee pavilion, which was designed by architect Douglas Burnham. The more than 2,000 square foot space was designed as an intimate place for thousands of people to taste coffee. Two hallways with wooden tables would serve as coffee tasting areas, where guests would be guided through a tasting of three different coffees out of small, beautiful, ceramic cups (by Heath Ceramics). The coffee was brewed by a platoon of 6 Clovers. In front, another hallway housed 4 La Marzocco GB5 3 groups, where 8 baristas could simultaneously pull espressos and macchiatos into Nuova Point brown bettys (espresso equipment provided by Espresso Parts NW). To get to the coffee tasting halls, adventurers needed to make their way down a passage lined with words and photographs related to the long journey coffee makes from seed to beverage. My breath was taken away by this amazing space.
The first thing I saw upon entering the space were boxes of Counter Culture coffee. Mark Overbay and Tim Hill had perfectly orchestrated the roasting and shipping of coffee to arrive at the perfect time for the event. Thanks! We soon began our preparations: getting everything squared away, machines dialed in, and getting all the "taste captains," our word for tasting leaders, well informed on the coffees we would be serving. We had a wide array of coffees at our disposal; all producer-specific lots from roasters like Ritual, Terroir, Intelligentsia, Ecco Caffe, Verve, Stumptown, Barefoot, and Counter Culture Coffee.
Making a long tale short, over the next three days, we exposed thousands of people to amazing coffees. Attendees got a flight of three coffees to taste against each other, and as many single-farm espressos or macchiatos as they could choke down. I spent all three days engaging with all sorts of folks, talking so much coffee I got hoarse. It was incredible. Deepening the experience were some very special guests: producers from Ethiopia, Mr. Abdullah Bagersh; Guatemala, Mr. Edwin Martinez; and Colombia, Mr. Camilo Merizalde. It was great to have producers there to represent their own coffees. Speaking of representing, I even got the chance to work two shifts on the espresso machine, pulling shots and macchiatos of Finca Mauritania Pulp Natural for the people. Like a dream come true. Meanwhile, I also did a speech on coffee at the Victory Garden Soapbox, led a panel discussion of the visiting coffee producers at the Long Now Foundation's museum space, and touched base with what seemed like the entire food movement.
One thing we coffee people kept saying about the event was how awesome it was to work so collaboratively with great coffee people. There was a large contingent of great baristas, roasters, and producers from all over the place including New York, Portland, L.A., and of course the Bay Area. Every one of these people was incredibly skilled, passionate, and filled with the desire to impress upon the foodie world the importance and value of great coffee. I was so proud to work with these folks, they did us all proud. It is impossible to list everyone, but if you watch this little movie you get a taste of how the experience was for the attendees. [Click here to watch now.]
I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that it was an amazing and exhausting experience. Word on the street is that there will be another Slow Food Nation next year, I'll keep you posted ….

DeKalb, Ill. - The Northern Illinois women's soccer team will take part in the KICKS Against Breast Cancer Collegiate Soccer Invitational Sunday, April 26. The invitational will be held at Soldier Field in Chicago showcasing talent from seven regional universities.
Athletes representing Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Illinois, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Marquette and DePaul are raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research and treatment through the tournament.
The invitational will begin at 8:30 a.m. with each team competing in two matches. The Huskies face Notre Dame at 11:00 a.m., then Northwestern at 2:35 p.m. This will be the second meeting between NIU and Northwestern this spring.
The goal of the invitational is to raise $100,000 to benefit the Claudia Mayer Cancer Resource Center along with Children's Memorial Research Center of Chicago. This goal will be achievable through student-athlete fundraising and sponsors, such as adidas. The Huskies have been selling t-shirts to raise money for the event.
"It's great to see our players taking it upon themselves to help this cause," head coach Carrie Barker said. "It's nice to see that they're going to make a difference."
The KICKS tournaments are held annually in April attracting top collegiate soccer teams from around the nation. The Huskies are looking forward to the challenge at Soldier Field's inaugural KICKS Invitational.
"We're excited to be a part of this great event. We're playing two very good teams," Barker said. "This is going to make our program stronger in many ways, including recruiting. It's going to give us experience playing the best of the best. It's just a win-win for everybody involved."
General admission tickets are $10 and grant access to the Soldier Field Fan Zone, which includes interaction with coaches, players and sponsors. Also available is a "Soccer Moms Clinic" to teach the basics of the sport and provide tips to parents, aspiring coaches and players.

A Window in Copacabana (2001)
by L. A. García-Roza
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The fourth--and in my opinion, the best to date--of the Inspector Espinosa of the Rio de Janeiro police series.
A series of murders occurs that are linked to corruption in the Rio police. But that's about the only thing that is clear throughout most of the book. Espinosa manages to get himself involved one way or another with two women who are closely associated with the murders. The pace is fast, the writing excellent. For much of the book, little more is understood; nothing becomes really clear until the last few pages.
An excellent book that utilizes the notorious corruption of the poorly trained, poorly paid Rio police as a background for an exciting, intriguing mystery. Rio--Copacabana. Leme, and Peixote areas--returns as a major supporting member of the cast.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 031242566X, Paperback)Cop killings never fail to excite interest--especially when, as in A Window in Copacabana, Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza's fourth slow-burning police procedural (after Southwesterly Wind), those murders are committed methodically and surgically, with "no passion, revenge, emotion: cold as ice." As Espinosa, the uncommonly thoughtful chief of Rio de Janeiro's 12th Precinct, postulates, "Whoever killed them was hired by someone. And furthermore, the real criminal is trying to send a message to other potential victims, a message that only they can understand."
It hardly matters that the three deceased officers weren't popular, or even well known. ("They're all cops who never stood out, who lived hidden lives, and who were as invisible and silent as their deaths.") The fact that each succumbed to "a single point-blank shot," coupled with suspicions that their slayings were somehow connected--by drug dealing, perhaps, or a bribery scheme--makes capturing their assassin crucial, not only to civic peacekeeping but to departmental morale. The stakes increase when those cops' mistresses start dropping violently, as well. Someone, it appears, wants to keep a tight lid on information that was shared between the policemen and their paramours. But who? And what, if anything, can be concluded from the subsequent, supposed suicide leap of a woman who was evidently mistaken by the killer for one of the cops' lovers? As Espinosa wades into the morass of avarice and secrecy at the core of this case, and begins to shed his preconceptions about the crimes, he's also distracted by a pair of young lovelies--one, the wife of a high-ranking government economist, obsessed with that dubious suicide; the other, a smart and resourceful ex-cabaret dancer on the run--whose attentions may do as much to foil his investigation as warm his heart.
Brazilian Garcia-Roza is a patient plotter, exposing each new development with the deceptive indifference of an exotic dancer shedding veils, knowing just how to build and maintain anticipation. And in Espinosa he has found his ideal partner in crime, a clever, compassionate, and oddly bookish, 40-something cop reconciled to the manifold disappointments of life and serene in the face of human tragedy. Although this author denies his cops, other than Espinosa, much depth of personality, A Window in Copacabana's Hitchcockian twists, sensual atmosphere, and unwillingness to deliver clichéd "perfect" justice in the end all make it an excellent entry in one of the coolest, most captivating crime series going. --J. Kingston Pierce
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:01:51 -0400)
"Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. Three policemen have been killed over the course of a few days. They were mediocre cops, and their deaths have a lot in common: they were eliminated by a cold-blooded assassin, who leaves no traces and likes to fire at point-blank range." "Immediately, the police world is thrown into turmoil. Who would risk running around the city killing cops, even unpopular ones? People involved in drug trafficking? Other policemen? Espinosa, chief of the 12th Precinct, doesn't have much to go on. And when the body of a woman connected to one of the dead cops is found on the sidewalk below her apartment window, things get even more complicated, as a reputed "witness" - the wife of a high-ranking government official - becomes obsessed with the case, and with Espinosa." "Nothing is quite as it appears, as Espinosa finds himself in his old haunts of Leme and Copacabana, and in the murky terrain of corruption, secret lives, greed, and fear."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

The Oscar-winner will direct the 24th James Bond film following the success of his 007 debut Skyfall.
07:11, UK, Saturday 13 July 2013
Sam Mendes has been confirmed as the director of the next James Bond film.
The Oscar-winner will work on the follow-up for a release in 2015 after producers agreed to fit the film's production around his theatre commitments.
Daniel Craig is also officially on board to play Bond for the fourth time.
Skyfall was a hit with critics as well as being the highest-grossing film of all time in the UK.
The unnamed follow-up, which will be the 24th film in the series, is scheduled for release on October 23, 2015, in the UK.
Screenwriter John Logan, who worked on the last Bond, is also lined up for the next release.
Producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said: "Following the extraordinary success of Skyfall, we're really excited to be working once again with Daniel Craig, Sam Mendes and John Logan."
Mendes has this year been concentrating on his musical stage production of Roald Dahl's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
"I am very pleased that by giving me the time I need to honour all my theatre commitments, the producers have made it possible for me to direct Bond 24," he said.
"I very much look forward to taking up the reins again, and to working with Daniel Craig, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for a second time."

Any good websites with parts reviews? Or any feedback/experience with a particular type of Shimano or SRAM or other brand? Thanks for the input.

Google Nexus 10 hands-on
Samsung has out-Retina'd Apple, and Google is definitely making the most of it. The Nexus 10 tablet may not have had the New York City debut it was promised, but even with a low-key press release its segment-busting specifications catch your eye. A 10.1-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 display breaks through the 300dpi pixel density mark, easily satisfying the "individual pixels indistinguishable at typical use-distance" criteria Apple created, while inside there's Samsung's own 1.7GHz dualcore Exynos 5250 with 2GB of RAM. If the Nexus 7 is Google's attempt to conquer the bargain mainstream, then the Nexus 10 is its assault on the very high-end, giving Android 4.2 Jelly Bean everything it needs in hardware in order to shine.

The Matthews Police Department and local Oasis Shriners recently partnered together to hold a golf tournament to raise funds for the DARE Program. The Matthews Police Department is only one of two departments in Mecklenburg County who have DARE Programs.
This year more than 1,200 fifth and seventh grade students attending school in Matthews will benefit from the DARE Program. More than $6,000 was collected from the golf tournament and will be used by Matthews Police Officers for DARE program activities.

When including the line
*.py diff=python
in a local .gitattributes file,
git diff produces nice labels for the different diff hunks of Python files (with the name of the function where the changes are, etc.).
Is is possible to ask git to use this diff mode for all Python files across all git projects? I tried to set a global ~/.gitattributes, but it is not used by local git repositories. Is there a more convenient method than initializing each new git project with a
ln -s ~/.gitattributes?

A New Fuel in the Middle East
Land, Thomas, Contemporary Review
THE prospect of substantial natural gas discoveries around the Red Sea is about to bring together the governments of the area -- some of them hostile neighbours -- in a co-ordinated effort to safeguard their common environment. They are drafting a new regional management plan to promote development while protecting the coastline's intricate coral reefs, endemic island wildlife and marine biodiversity.
The Red Sea is still relatively untouched but may soon be affected by very large scale industrial investment. Huge natural gas reserves are believed to lie beneath the desert adjacent to the coastlines and perhaps also beneath the seabed. An environment-oriented common development plan would limit the inevitable damage by introducing legislative and administrative safeguards designed to balance the many conflicting long-term interests of the region.
The project is vigorously being promoted by the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and other international agencies concerned with the energy industry as well as finance and the environment.
All the governments of the region are responding positively. The most enthusiastic among them is Egypt which has already introduced a national strategy for the conversion of all of its electricity generating plants to burn gas -- the most benign among the fossil fuels -- in order to reduce local carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.

Egypt is launching a new coastal management project with the help of a $4.75m grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), a fund run by several UN agencies. The project will help the government to assess the environmental impact of gas exploration along the coastline, improve the enforcement of environmental rules and the management of coral reef habitats and to set aside valuable or vulnerable marine zones for protection.
The programme will provide the under-funded national specialist agencies with training and money as well as a clear mandate for future environmental protection and management.
GEF provides grants to fund projects that address environmental issues affecting more than one country. Its Egyptian project fits in well with other efforts to protect the Red Sea from industrial degradation, pollution and uncontrolled development.
The Yemen government at the southern tip of the Red Sea is currently working on oil pollution issues on the coastline with help from the fund. GEF is also at work on the development of a broader Red Sea regional framework plan aimed at co-ordinating environmental activities in the area.
If successful, the Egyptian GEF plan could set a model for future collaboration involving the countries surrounding the Red Sea. Indeed, talks have recently taken place between Egypt and Sudan and between Saudi Arabia and Yemen to settle conflicts in their border areas.
A specialist spokesman for GEF observes: 'The Red Sea projects reflect a growing awareness that future development will affect the well-being of peoples living in the countries that claim shores on that rich body of water'.
The semi-enclosed Red Sea is the world's most saline body of water connected to the oceans, touching the Mediterranean in the north through the Suez Canal and the Indian Ocean in the south through the shallow Bab el Mandab strait. …

text: Pre-race: Met up with Heather B. on Saturday at the Expo and we drove most of the bike course so we could get a feel for it. The course has some good climbs and descents but they are short compared to the hills of Howard County. Race day: Got to the race site by 5:30 to hear the swim was cancelled. Huh? Why? Well, it turns out an athlete from the Saturday sprint race never made it out of the water and the police were still doing a search and rescue in the river. How horrible. I couldn't believe it. The swim was replaced with a 5k run. Fast forward: The police recovered the body of the 40-year old Delaware man around 5:30pm on Sunday. It was his first triathlon. No news on how he drowned. None of the kayak / boat support saw any signs of distress. My heart goes out to his family.The heat and humidity of the day was already miserable at 6am. I was sweating just standing around. I knew this was going to be painful, especially the last run.Run 5K (26:28) 8:32 pace – the timing mats seemed off. My Garmin had me a minute faster for a 8:15 pace. I tried to stay controlled knowing I had to use the same legs to bike 25 miles and run another 6.2. So I was happy with my pace.T-1 (2:18) including pit stop. I know I started the race hydrated!Bike (1:20:16) 18.5 mph – the 5k run and heat did more damage than planned. Instead of swimming and using upper body strength, the 5k depleted some of my leg strength. I should have been able to go about 5 minutes faster, but the short climbs plus the heat just zapped my energy. I saw a few crashes on the bike, one of them pretty nasty with blood dripping down his face. Lots of Team in Training were doing this race and had lots of support around the course. I had a bottle of HEED, one water bottle, and a gel on the bike. I forgot my Endurolytes in transition, ugh.T-2 (2:34) again the timing mats seemed off. I didn't see the mat until I was out of transition and already running 100+ yards. Run 10k (1:10:10) 11:19 pace. The worst. It was so HOT and Humid. The first few miles were pretty shaded. Then it was intense heat with the sun pounding down. My HR was nuts. I just couldn't find a stride and succumbed to a walk / jog. I was cursing the heat and found it hard to get positive thoughts in my head. I saw medics next to a guy who literally passed out on the run. David Matusow passed me and looked great. His mental toughness was working! Great job, David! I finally finished after pouring so many cups of water on my head at every water stop. They had towels soaking in ice water which felt great on my neck / shoulders. I really wished they had ice on the run course.Post race: I stayed with my friend who lives in Philly. We waited for Heather to finish then we got some post-race food and relaxed for a little bit before taking off. Spent the rest of the day making sure A/C was cranking! Traffic coming home on 95 South was horrible. My outside temp gauge hit 104 at one point! Really hoping the rest of the racing season will have better weather.

Kenya: Indymedia Comrade murdered
"Sissy ni watumishi wa community / We are servants of the community" — Nyagah wa Kamau / Stephen Nyash, RIP
Kenya Indymedia has reported that on Tuesday, February 21, radio journalist and organizer Stephen Nyash was shot dead in the Korogocho ghetto of Nairobi, where he had lived and worked for most of his life. Korogocho is the third largest slum in the world [1]. At writing, the motive for his murder is not clear.
Nyash was one of the founders of KOCH FM [2],
a close partner of Kenya Indymedia. He was also a leader in "Koch Hope"
and "Ghetto Films," which worked to empower the slumdwellers of
Korogocho. He brought this wealth of experience to the fourth IMC-Africa
Convergence in Senegal last March as a representative of Kenya
Indymedia. He was also integral in organizing a "Conference of People"
held in Korogocho to coincide with the Conference of Parties (COP-17)
gathering on climate change. Fellow organizer John Bwakali writes, "From
the moment that he knew about Kenya Indymedia, Nyash became not just an
active participant but fellow leader of the movement… Upon return [from
Senegal], he immersed himself into the vision and work of Kenya
Indymedia." Read John's Full Reflection HERE [3] and his audio interview with Nyash [4] on the fight against State injustices.

: The Pitchfork
Lucas Fyeld
an abused angry young boy attempting to ... ?
The Pitchfork
The day started out fine. I was in charge of recreation time for the boys, but I didn�t know it until lunch (Joe called in sick). Rec. time went well until Todd and Mandy�s girls came through to go into the weight room (and several of the boys followed them). It was uncontrolled after that. I had too many high-spirited boys to handle, and not enough experience or confidence. Other staff were close by, knowing that I still qualified as � �the new guy� on staff. After that, I watched Allen and Fred working off some of their �consequences� time cutting wood at the dorm. Until Allen ran off, that is. I searched the facility for him for about an hour, then (Randy found him) I took him to the spreader. I am very certain � that I do not know how best to describe � several things that happened next.
The �spreader� is a piece of farm equipment. It�s a trailer that you pull behind a tractor. You fill it with manure � and the spreader � �slings� it out across the field as you drive. Allen tried to run away. That action got him into trouble, and the staff in charge assigned me to watch him while he was doing his consequences � shoveling buffalo manure. I restrained Allen several times while he was on this work project. He bit and kicked and screamed and swore � numerous times. At one point he showed depression and fear and loneliness and tears � although usually it was anger or aggression. I gave the boy plenty of warning that I was going to squeeze him if he didn�t start working. That�s the policy at this place. I put my arms around him, holding his arms folded across his chest... and then I squeeze. He said �okay� or something and just waited. It would have liked to have broken my heart� to come to a dejected eleven-year-old boy and wrap him up in my arms and squeeze intentionally to make him hurt. I did it, because I knew of no other options for getting him to do his consequences.
Here�s an amazing thing. At one point I was leaning on an inside wall of the barn (he was supposed to be shoveling manure, right?) and squeezing Allen. He�d been screaming and cursing and kicking at me. He did not calm while I was restraining him. Yet, as soon as I let go, he stayed in physical contact with me, and the contact instantly turned into a snuggle. I still haven�t entirely come to grips with that emotion shift.
Not many minutes after this (after which there�s better than even odds that he�d kicked and screamed some more) he wanted to rest. So I sat on some clean hay � to show him that it was clean enough � manure-less enough � to sit on� and he chose to sit on my lap. And lean in for a good snuggle. Next, he picked up both of my arms, and pulled them around him, so that I was hugging him while he snuggled. I�m sitting very close to lots of manure with very little light (flashlight headlamps) and an often-happy, often-angry, but hardly ever sad, but sad now � boy falling asleep in my lap.
Ten minutes after that we both fell down into the cow manure because he tried to kick me while I was restraining him and we lost our balance.
This boy has got challenges so deep that many rational adults believe that he is possessed by a demon. And obviously � it�s a distinct possibility that he�s picked up on that idea and uses it for his own entertainment. There�s also the possibility that he has done that, hoping to get out of work � when he�s stuck with a �new guy� staff like he was when my �demon possession� story took place. Okay, so here, I�m still �new guy� but there are staff that are newer � and I�m not as new or as green as I was two months ago. Anyway�.
This is the day he spit in my face, threw rocks at me, tested me to see if he knew any curse words that I didn�t (including using his favorite curse word on me what I would guess to have been at least fifty times),
He wasn�t that good of an aim with his throw, but he threw enough that some of them did hit me. A couple of rocks, as big as softballs, if I recall, hit me in the leg. No real injury, just bruises. I could have charged him and caught him easily. And restrained him easily. But my task was to get him working, and he can�t work if he�s restrained. So there had to be some risk-taking on my part. I had to occasionally let go to see if he would start working again. In essence, I had to trust him. I had to give him the chance. When Allen said to me �Okay, this time I really will start working if you let me go,� I had to walk in faith. I had to act like I believed he would start working�. And then he�d call me an �f- faced sucker� or something. And he�d wield the pitchfork like �come one step closer and I�ll stab you with this!� Or he�d run off. And I�d go after him again.
I�d talk to him calmly. He�d curse at me. I�d ask him to go back to work. He�d threaten to kill me. I�d tell him that the sooner he would be productive the sooner he�d get to go to bed. He�d threaten me again. And on and on. I�d be very specific about how long he had to start working again, or I would put him in a restraint. I would say something like �I�m going to count to three. As soon as I start counting, I�m going to count straight through, and when I get to three, if you�re not working then I�m going to restrain you, do you understand?� He�d swear at me. I�d count. He�d wait until I�d said three, and was walking towards him, and then he�d quickly pretend to start working. I�d explain to him that he�d not started in time, and I�d put him into a restraint position and squeeze him.
He�d cry. He�d curse and scream and cry. I�d try to get a real promise of work out of him, and eventually, I�d let him go and the cycle would repeat. And, of course � the pitchfork. Somewhere in the middle of that whole mess he threw the pitchfork at me. About three hours, Allen and I spent on this task that cold night.
He grabbed my glasses and threw them on the ground and stepped on them once. Amazingly no damage was done, or that expense would have been added to his account. He wouldn�t have cared about the money. Money grew on trees as far as he was concerned � I�ve only got theories as to why he thinks that.
Todd came out to check on us a couple of times, I think. Actually, now that I think about it, Bill came out to check on us once also. And I think now, Allen didn�t behave any better for Bill than he did for me. That made me feel better. It made me feel that it wasn�t my fault that he wasn�t behaving properly � that it wasn�t that I was allowing him to be unaccountable by my actions.
What else happened? I guess it really doesn�t matter. We both got a bit of cow manure on our clothes. We were both cold and tired. We both got some bruises (surely he was bruised by all my squeezing, or possibly by falling down, but I never hurt him intentionally, as a matter of fact, I don�t recall any feelings of anger during the whole thing. I remember frustration, but not anger. I only remember one time that I let my anger control any of my actions. That was with a boy named Jerry, and you�ll get that story later. I was looking for these situations (of my anger)during all the time that I was at this facility, because this very thing is such a big deal for men and boys.
In fifteen minutes after Bible Study that night, Allen actually got more work done than he had (twice as much, easily) in more than two hours after dinner and before Bible Study.
I love Allen. I�ve had him fall asleep in my arms. I�ve had him crying and hugging me. He�s asked me not to leave his room after I�ve tucked him in at night. I love him. It breaks my heart to see him on a road that isn�t leading him towards healing. I love him. But he�s also spit a loogy in my face, and he�s thrown a pitchfork at me, intending bodily injury. His aim (and range) wasn�t accurate enough that I needed to dodge it (not to my recollection), but he did throw it cow-manure-covered, fork-end first, at me. He�s thrown rocks at me. He�s angry and he�s a risk to whoever is his guardian.
The whole experience tested me. It � purified me � or something. It took me quite a while to get it all worked out in my head and my heart after that night, but I came out stronger and more dedicated to working to help boys with their challenges. I�m sure that I�m learning and growing from that experience, still today.
Months later, after Allen had probably forgotten the pitchfork incident entirely, the boy was on an extended �home-visit� (with his legal guardians � not his real parents). I told another staff member - Karen that I missed him. She said �that�s insane.� I shrugged and said �I�ve snuggled with him in a barn full of cow-manure. Most people don�t get that kind of bonding with him.�
I laugh out loud now, thinking about Karen saying that. Surely, she sees a demon when she looks at the angry and desperate boy. I can still hear her saying �that�s insane� to me. It is not insane. It is the love of our Creator. If it were just me then I would be angry at Allen, and selfishly avoiding him as much as possible out of fear for my own safety and sanity. No, it�s definitely the love of Christ that I feel for this disturbed young boy. My heart breaks for him in his pain. It is the heart of Jesus Christ shining through me, when I show him peace, because it surely isn�t me.

They're 3rd in La Liga and although they've struggled here and there, they're in the thick of the hunt for a Champions League spot once again.
Things are looking up for Los Che.
Their Copa del Rey semifinal opponents, Barcelona?
They're on a slight downswing. When you reach the dizzying heights the Azulgrana have reached the past seasons, even one loss is considered a colossal surprise.
Coach Pep Guardiola insinuated his club's feeling the stress at a press conference Tuesday, saying that being billed the world's best comes with certain pressures.
The former Barca captain says living with constant expectation "makes you tense" and "sooner or later we'll stop winning … a better team will come along. That's when we'll have to see if we believe in ourselves."
Guardiola warned that "as a player I sometimes allowed myself to slip up and I don't want my players to do the same."
The coach of the world's best club spoke in rallying tones ahead of Wednesday's Copa del Rey semifinal after the reigning Spanish and European champions drew 0-0 at Villarreal to sit seven points behind league leader Real Madrid.
The Catalan giants have dropped 13 league points in 10 games away from the Camp Nou this season, including this weekend's draw. But in the Copa del Rey they've won all three road matches so far by a combined score of 12-1.
How will they shape up against a Valencia side dreaming of cup glory, a premise they can't fulfill in domestic play due to Madrid and Barca's stranglehold on the league?
The record 25-time cup winner are without Andres Iniesta for the match at the Mestalla while forward Pedro Rodriguez may also miss out to injury. Defender Gerard Pique came off with a knee problem but trained with his teammates.
Lionel Messi was far from his best in the Villarreal game and failed to convert several chances he usually puts away.
"The message inside the locker room is of belief and confidence," said goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto, who will play in place of Victor Valdes as usual in the cup. "The team isn't tired. But it is difficult for things to work out perfectly every single day."
Wednesday's game is a rematch of the 2008 Copa semifinals, which Los Che won 4-3 on aggregate before going on to lift the cup with a victory against Getafe in the final.
However, that was the last time Valencia came out on top against the Catalan club, and they have yet to beat the reigning European champions in seven attempts under coach Unai Emery.
Emery thinks his side are underdogs but refuses to write off Valencia's chances.
"Yes, it will be hard [against Barcelona], but we can do it," Emery said, his hands gesticulating here, there and everywhere, his body shaking as if he had 30 cups of coffee.
"We will try. In terms of motivation, yes, we will be favorites."
Valencia will miss Adil Rami and Pablo Hernandez, while Mehmet Topal (concussion) and Ever Banega (thigh strain) are doubtful after being taken off the field of play in Sunday's bruising 2-2 draw at Racing Santander.
Valencia have a solid record at the Mestalla this season, having won all but five of their games there in all competitions, and losing just two.
But this is Barcelona and this is a cup semifinal.
What to expect?
While Barca's form has slipped some, they're still a superior squad. Still, Valencia's amped up for this match and the Mestalla will be all guns blazing.
Valencia will pressure Barcelona. By pressure, I mean PRESSURE. Expect passing lanes to be shut down, a physical defensive tactic and a mad-dog rushing style that will look to throw Barca from their typical tiki-taka system of play.
I expect a chippy match full of drama and suspense.
My prediction? 2-1 Valencia but Barca gets their all-important away goal.

NTIA: FirstNet grant criteria coming in early 2013
Federal requirements for state and local participation in a $135 million grant program that will support rollout of the national broadband public safety network should be finalized in the coming months, says the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
The organization charged with creation of the network, the First Responder Network Authority, or FirstNet, is an autonomous agency residing within the NTIA. In a Dec. 27 blog post discussing anticipated 2013 developments, deputy NTIA head Anna Gomez said the grant criteria should be issued "early next year."
Creation of the network is to be funded through $7 billion taken from the proceeds of Federal Communications Commission-managed spectrum license auctions. In 2011, the Obama administration called for 500 megahertz of federally licensed spectrum to be auctioned to the private sector; in July 2012, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology recommended that another 1,000 MHz of federal spectrum be made available to the private sector through sharing agreements with the government.
