Part 6: Rebels Enter Capital
Mexico CityThe Zapatistas did not, as some rumors had it, arrive in Mexico City on horseback. They did not, as some had insisted, march in on foot. Instead, they entered the Zócalo, the city's main square, on the roof of the same green-and-white tour bus that carried them more than 1500 miles from the mountains of Chiapas to the Mexican capital.
From the reaction of the crowd of hundreds of thousands, most of whom had been waiting in the hot sun for more than seven hours, they might as well have dropped from the sky. Shouts of No están solos! (You are not alone!) filled the plaza as the Zapatistas stood on the ramshackle wooden stage and declared, Brothers and sisters, indigenous and nonindigenous, we are here for one thing: to declare that we are here and we are here with you.
Previous dispatches:
On the Road With the Zapatistas is a two-week, on-the-scene series that will chronicle the historic trek of Subcomandante Marcos and the Zapatistas from the Lacandon jungle to Mexico City to demand rights for indigenous peoples.
History did not repeat itself this Sunday in Zócalo: neither the history of 1919 when Zapata was shot on his way to the capital to sign a peace agreement, nor the history of 1968 when several hundred students were killed while protesting a few blocks north in Tlatelolco.
Instead, history was remade as the rebels who declared war on the government just over seven years ago were welcomed right outside the government palace in the central plaza. Through their journey, the Zapatistas have grown from a small military rebellion with international support to a vast national and international social movement. There is no more you and us because we are all now the color of the earth, Subcomandante Marcos said on Sunday. And this is what they fear.

The Zapatistas have announced that they will stay in Mexico City until congress votes on the San Andrés Accords and meets the group's three conditions of dialogue. In keeping with the spirit of the caravan, during their open-ended residence in the city they will stay not in a hotel but in a makeshift space at the National School of Anthropology and History. President Vicente Fox, after expressing his welcome, has urged the Zapatistas to meet with him personally and sign a basic peace agreement.
But for the Zapatistas, constitutional recognition is just one step in their long struggle. Although a few more conservative newspapers, such as El Universal, have ruminated on the possibility of Marcos for President, the Zapatistas have made very clear that they are not interested in political power. We are rebels, not revolutionaries, said Marcos in a personal interview with Julio Sherer of the magazine Proceso. Political power poisons the blood and muddies thought, he has said.
For the Zapatistas, this is no time to rest. In the next few days, they will meet with legislators, intellectuals, and activists, and set the details for their address to congress. Congress plans to vote on the Cocopa lawthe congressional version of the San Andrés Accordssometime in the next month. And the next big fights are already visible on the horizon. Marcos has directly laid out the Zapatistas' opposition to Plan Puebla-Panamá, an international development deal signed by Fox that would create a corridor of tax-free high-tech and clothing factories from central Mexico down to Panama.
No one, probably not even the Zapatistas themselves, knows what steps they will take in the next stage of their struggle. But it is clear that the triumphant arrival in the heart of Mexico is only the beginning: Those (in power) say we're few, we're weak, we're a photo, an anecdote, a spectacle, a product whose expiration date is here, said Marcos in the Zócalo. We can be with or without faces, with or without arms or firepower, but Zapatistas we are; we are and always will be.

Apparently, the end is nigh for most of us humans. The eBible Fellowship is just one among many claimants (Family Radio being the other major claimant) of the fact that judgement day is May the 21st; and five months later, on October 21st, we shall witness the end of the world.
Now I do not know if this is a race to declare an 'end of the world' date, but these fellows seem to believe that the Mayan prediction of December the 21st 2012 is not the end of the world, rather it is October this year!
Before I wish you luck, let me examine a few details.
The wonderful person who came up with these dates (and who had the remarkable ability of quoting the Bible extensively–for the Bible is the last word–) was Mr Harold Camping. But this is not the first time Camping has predicted the end of the world. He declared, with equal conviction, that 1994 was the end and he managed to live through it to give us another prediction. On their website, Family Radio gets defensive saying, "important subsequent Biblical information was not yet known." We understand.
Camping has an innovative hobby of misunderstanding religious texts but he crosses the line when he pushes others to actually believe what he conjectures.
Camping bought Family Radio back in 1958 to proclaim the Gospel of Christ and he ended up concocting dates he wished the world would end in. That the world will not end when Harold Camping wants it to is clear to everybody but Camping himself, in spite of the fact that not many people believe him (he has already shouted 'wolf!' remember?) And if Camping really wanted all this attention, a good marketing strategy would have been to proclaim the end of the world before the Mayan prediction came to the fore. But the man was perhaps then still recovering from the shock that he survived his last predicted doomsday–as did the rest of mankind.
And yet Family Radio has not been all unsuccessful. Its 56 stations in the US have assured them some believers in the impossible. The fact that they are not asking for money or hinting at monetary benefits makes them appear all the more genuine. And then they are backed by Camping!
So people are giving up their jobs and occasionally their lives, the former only to rejoin the unemployment line as of May the 22nd when nobody comes to judge them.
"It's not the way these Biblical texts were meant to be read, even by their original writers." Richard Ascough
'The Bible,' says the Family Radio website, 'guarantees it' (with an exclamation mark at the end making it appear more like satire.) And then they quote the book of Ezekiel saying 'low the trumpet… warn the people.'
And if you are either a Jew or a Hindu or a Muslim or a Buddhist or an atheist or an agnostic or any of the other billions of people who make up a more than half the world's population, know that you will be judged (and tortured for five months, until October 21st 2011, when the world will anyway end, while the true believers in Christianity will survive according to some website I just came across.)
And then, apparently, they mocked this on The Simpsons so it has definitely taken hold, as Richard Ascough, a professor in the School of Religion at Queen's University in Kingston, rightly put it.
And, to satisfy your curiosity, there will be no water this time (we have a shortage of that anyway) so god has allegedly decided to end the Earth in a fire.
While I suppose this will provide you with sufficient laughs till the very end of May, I will be writing more satire between now and then. And I will officially mock Family Radio on May the 22nd. ❧

An Alaska woman is seeking workers' compensation survivor benefits based on her relationship with her same-sex partner of more than a decade who was murdered at work late last year.
Attorneys for Deborah Harris argue that it is unconstitutional for Alaska to prevent Harris from receiving benefits that she would be awarded if she had been allowed to marry her partner, Kerry Fadely, according to a filing obtained through Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund Inc. The civil rights organization, which is representing Harris, submitted the filing Monday to the Alaska Workers' Compensation Board.
The comp board filing notes that Alaska's workers' comp board and workers' comp commission are unable to decide issues of constitutionality. However, it says that the appeal has been filed "to preserve the factual context of (Ms. Harris') constitutional challenge" so that it ultimately can be reviewed by the Alaska Supreme Court.
Fadely worked as a hotel manager for the Millennium Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska, according to filing. In October 2011, Fadely was shot and killed by a former hotel employee who had been fired by Fadely nine days earlier, court records show.
Fadely and Harris were in an "exclusive, committed and financially interdependent relationship" for more than a decade at the time of her death, according to court filings. Harris noted in the filings that she and Fadely referred to each other as spouses, though Alaska law prevents them from being legally married.
Millennium Hotel is paying death benefits to Fadely's 23-year-old son, records show. Harris says in her filing that the son "is supportive of my claim and believes that (Ms. Fadely) would have been supportive as well."

SANTA CLARA, California, May 18. CURTIS Ogren, who swims for Saint Francis High in California, lowered his own national independent high school record in the 200-yard IM at the CIF Central Coast Section Championships.
Ogren turned in a time of 1:44.90 to win finals of the event, beating his previous record of 1:45.01 also set here at Central Coast Sectionals. Ogren joined fellow Stanford commit Ally Howe in the record-setting blast, as Howe also took down the 100-yard back record.
The overall and public school record of 1:41.39 set by David Nolan in 2011 still stands. Nolan had quite possibly the best meet by a high school swimmer ever that year, and some of his times may never be broken in high school competition.
=== A – Final ===
1 Ogren, Curtis 12 Saint Francis 1:45.61 1:44.90!

Cray Wanderers looking for revenge against Lowestoft Town
16:00 02 February 2012
Jenkins eager to make amends for ill-tempered game in Suffolk
Cray Wanderers boss Ian Jenkins says revenge will be on his mind when Lowestoft Town make the trip to Hayes Lane this weekend.
The promotion-chasing sides meet on Sunday, but the memories of Cray's 2-1 loss in Suffolk in November are still fresh in the manager's memory.
Cray had two players sent off on that occasion and saw two penalties given against them, decisions which Jenkins felt were all influenced by the vocal home support, and he is now keen to even the score.
"It's a big game," he said. "We owe them one after the last time, which was a bit of a nightmare game for us.
"Around 700 fans were on the referee's back all day and he wasn't experienced enough to deal with the occasion.
"He probably shouldn't have been given a game like that as he was definitely influenced by the crowd and it went against us on the day.
"We're looking to put that right this weekend and get some revenge on them."

As the financial crisis deepened in 2008, Janet Yellen argued at least twice for a more aggressive cut to interest rates than most of her colleagues at the Federal Reserve, internal documents unsealed on Friday showed.
For Yellen's critics, who worry the new Fed chair is a policy "dove" partial to overly easy monetary policy, that revelation will add grist to their mill.
But at the same time the transcripts of that year of fraught decision-making at the Fed will equally make the case for those who applaud Yellen for seeing the depth of the crisis before others and advocating an aggressive response, even more so than then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.
At both a top-secret conference call in early January 2008 days after a dismal jobs report and another one in October just weeks after Lehman Brothers' market-shaking collapse, Yellen argued the need for a more muscular policy response.
"I support a 50-basis-point (half-percentage-point) reduction in the federal funds rate in the near future," she said on January 9, adding that she would prefer to cut rates by a quarter-point that very day, more than two weeks before the Fed's regularly scheduled meeting.
It was not to happen. Though Bernanke said he thought a rate cut would be needed soon, he had called the meeting not to take policy action but to gather his colleagues' thoughts ahead of a speech and congressional testimony. He wanted input on the signals he ought to convey to financial markets.
By the time the Fed did cut rates on January 21, it opted for a hefty three-quarter-point move.
Yellen, who at the time ran the San Francisco Fed, also called for stronger action during a conference call on October 7, about three weeks after Lehman Brothers failed and sent shock waves through financial markets.
Bernanke was using the call to gather support for a half-point cut.
"In my opinion, a larger action could easily be justified and is ultimately likely to prove necessary," Yellen said on the call. "We're witnessing a complete breakdown in the functioning of credit markets, and it is affecting every class of borrowers."
Despite her calls for more action, Yellen was not the most "dovish" of Fed policymakers at the table. That label goes to Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren, who called for a rate cut in September when the rest of the policy-setting panel, including Yellen, preferred to leave rates alone.
Yellen has sought to portray herself as even-handed, supporting

Do you remember those cute, fluffy little chicks we had a while ago? Well, they grew from this…
to this
We have five or so laying. One of the pullets lays double-yolkers, so there are two yolks inside the shell, but they are small.
In the picture of the chicks when they were tiny, you saw one with a black spot, right? I named her black spot. She still has it!
One of our neighbors knows how to tell male or female when chicks are tiny. Look at the wing. If the wing has feathers all the same length, it's a male. If the feathers go in the pattern big short big short, it's a female. And if it has feathers, it's a chick. Haha! We'll have to try this sometime to see if it works.

I'm a huge fan of the color yellow – nothing says "happy" and "spring" or "summer" than the color yellow. It's warm, friendly, and as an added bonus, makes you look tanner than you really are!
But the other thing about yellow is that it is bright and draws lots of attention – you have to be confident to pull it off, especially if you are pregnant.
Yellow seems to be the maternity color of the season – just check out these moms-to-be all wearing yellow and pulling it off beautifully!
Would you dare to wear yellow while pregnant? Why not when you can look as gorgeous and glowing as these pregnant stars!
Kate Hudson looked gorgeous in a pastel yellow at the "Something Borrowed" Los Angeles premiere. And while the color really worked for her, it couldn't compare to the happiness and warmth that radiated from her smile!
Jewel wowed us all at the Grammys back in February.
While Natalie Portman yellow said I'm-so-confident-I-can-wear-a-mini-skirt-while pregnant!
The most recent sighting? Tori Spelling was spotted in a yellow maxi dress running errands in Los Angeles on May 17th.
So what do you think? Are you loving all the yellow of the season?

Previously, I've done a post about Lipsticks for Bridal Makeup. Well, lipsticks make up only half of the lip makeup, for the perfect bridal pout that has long lasting color and a healthy shine, you need a lip liner base and a touch of gloss on top as well.
Here are my recommendations..
Lip liners Recommendations :
- Nude lip liner – Colorbar Nude pink : This is a basic nude brownish pink shade that'll work under all lipsticks. Recommended for using under lighter lipsticks.
- Mid-tone Brown - Inglot Precision Lip liner no. 57 : This'll work with all peachy brown, reddish brown and plummy brown lipsticks.
- Red - Bourjois Lip pencil no. 20 Rouge Soyeux : This is a basic cool toned red lip liner, works well under red lipsticks.
- Berry - Faces Lip pencil Cabaret : This is a deep berry pink lip liners. Great for wearing under berry pink, magenta and plum lip colors.
- Wine – Streetwear Lip pencil Wine Line : This is a deep wine shade, recommended for wearing with deep garnet, wine and ruby lipsticks.
Tip : Instead of just lining the lips with the liner, fill the entire lip area with it. This will extend the wear time of the lipstick by a few hours.
Lipgloss Recommendations :
- Coral pink – Colorbar Star Metal lip gloss Seductress : A coral pink with a bit of red, this is great to top over coral pink, rose pink lipsticks.
- Berry pink – Maybelline Colorsensational lip gloss Hooked on Pink : A basic berry pink, perfect for magenta, berry, plummy pink lipsticks.
- Red – Maybelline Colorsensational lip gloss Cranberry Cocktail : True red with a hint of cool undertone, perfect for topping over red lipsticks.
- Ruby – Revlon Superlustrous lip gloss Wrap Yourself in Rubies : A ruby pink lip gloss, works great with ruby/wine/garnet lipsticks. Also check out Revlon Colorburst lip gloss in Aubergine and Bordeaux.
- Golden Brown – Revlon Colorburst lip gloss Sienna Sparkle : A gorgeous coppery brown with fine golden shimmer, this one is great to top over peachy brown/reddish brown lipsticks. Great shade for dusky girls.
Tip : Instead of applying gloss all over the lips, apply only on the center of the lips to give a healthy, fuller appearance.

Board President Dr. Brad Krivohlavek promised the 32 people who took part in the planning session their work would not collect dust on a shelf. The five goals selected by the strategic planning group include: improving technology, working on career awareness, conducting a facility study, aligning curriculum with state and national standards, and raising the graduation rate to 81 percent.

zone and an economic support package worth a further $500 million.
China has been consistently expanding its own interests in island nations on Indias periphery the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Seychelles and Mauritius all countries in where India has traditionally been the main strategic provider. Beijing has provided those countries with several millions of dollars in aid and infrastructure projects. The perceived threat to Indias influence in the region and, potentially, its security, has led to increased aid to these countries from New Delhi. That is especially so in the Maldives, which sits on an important sea line of communication between the West and East Asia.
However, experts now opine that this military relationship could be put on hold. With elections a little more than a year away, the future of the Maldives and the region is still uncertain. Given the confused nature in which the Maldivian transfer of power took place, India would benefit from an election held as soon as possible, say experts.

Full Sail Brewing Co. promotes the responsible enjoyment of its products. If you are of legal drinking age, we welcome you to visit our website.
Welcome back, little guy. After Olympia Brewing's beloved stubby bottles disappeared off the shelves for good in 2003, Full Sail Brewing recognized an opportunity—and leapt at the chance to fill a precious void in the consciousness of Northwest beer lovers with the advent of its Session Lager.
"We had talked about doing a stubby bottle ever since we'd heard Olympia was going to close," says Full Sail's executive brewer Jamie Emmerson. "We talked about it because of the following, and because of that nostalgic view."
But there's more to the story than a beer company getting style points for going the retro route. Full Sail Brewing has been employee-owned since 1999, but as one of the state's major beer producers (No. 26 among American breweries), the player-managers on staff seldom make a decision based purely on sentimental reasons. Emmerson said Full Sail was looking to win fans of more conventional beer who seemed to be having trouble wrapping their taste buds around Full Sail Amber, Rip Curl and other bold brand titles.
"I had a crew of construction workers working on my house," Emmerson says. "And I brought some Full Sail beer out for them, you know, 'free beer, free beer.' And they said, 'No thanks.' I just figured they were on the wagon. So next week I came out and they were drinking a fine Mexican beer. So I said, 'Hey, how about some Full Sail?' And they said, 'No, no; it's too bitter, too heavy.'
"Stylistically we found they're buying the beer, Heineken, Corona, etc. And they're paying the price, because none of those beers are inexpensive by any means. But they're not picking us because of the taste."
Session may sound like a concession to the plebeian palates of beer's rookie leagues, yet Emmerson and his cohorts brought considerable research, toil and trial-and-error to the plate, and the results have been solid. Session has proved a brisk mover amongst the Pabst Blue Ribbon (still the most popular beer in town) crowd, and it recently claimed a bronze medal at the World Beer Cup.
And Full Sail certainly deserves props for developing a tasty, modestly priced lager that comes in a familiar—and comforting—shape. "If we had put an ale in the stubby bottle, a Full Sail style beer, I think there would have been a disconnect between the bottle shape and the taste people would expect," Emmerson says.

Hey,

After talking with Fernando on Friday, I've updated IPEP11. The most substantial change to the document is that we're proposing a modification to the completion messaging protocol (http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/development/messaging.html#complete).

The goal is that each tab completion option be associated with a "kind", e.g: file, directory, object, magic, etc. This will enable non-readline clients to display richer, more contextual information to the user. Another goal is to simplify the code base. It's pretty messy and incomprehensible now.

At this point, I think that the plan is pretty much fleshed out. Any input would really be appreciated.

Hi,

I've posted IPEP 11, which is a proposal to refactor the kernel side tab completion machinery. There are two three for refactoring: the first is to provide a richer API for new tab completion matchers to interact with IPython, enabling, for example, projects like PR2701 to be done more cleanly. The second goal is to make the tab completion system less tied to GNU readline and capable of delivering richer contextual information to non-readline frontends like the notebook. The third is to clean up and simplify the existing code.

Any and all thoughts are appreciated.

Environmental Barriers to HIV Prevention among Incarcerated Adolescents: A Qualitative Assessment
Freedman, Darcy, Salazar, Laura F., Crosby, Richard A., DiClemente, Ralph J., Adolescence
Adolescents are at increasing risk for HIV infection. Half of all new HIV infections in the U.S. occur among people aged 25 or younger and the majority of these infections are sexually transmitted (Office of National AIDS Policy, 1996). Nationally, the number of new HIV infections is declining; however, there is no comparable decline among adolescents (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2001).
Among adolescents, those in juvenile detention facilities are at disproportionate risk for HIV infection (Teplin, Mericle, McClelland, & Abram, 2003). Compared to nondetained adolescents, incarcerated adolescents report earlier sexual debut (Robertson & Levin, 1999; Pack, DiClemente, Hook III, & Oh, 2000), greater prevalence of sexual intercourse (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [DHHS], 1994; Morris, Harrison, Knox, Tromanhauser, Marquis, & Watts, 1995; Robertson & Levin, 1999; Pack et al., 2000), greater number of sexual partners (Canterbury, McGarvey, Sheldon-Keller, Waite, Reams, & Koopman, 1995; DHHS, 1994; Morris et al., 1995; Pack et al., 2000), and a lower prevalence of consistent condom use (Morris, Baker, Valentine, & Pennisi, 1998; Morris et al., 1995; Pack et al., 2000).
Although studies have investigated determinants of HIV risk behaviors among adolescents, these studies have mostly focused on individual-level factors (e.g., knowledge, attitudes, skills, beliefs, and cognitions) (Cohen, Scribner, & Farley, 2000). Emerging evidence, however, suggests that environmental factors may also have an equal if not greater effect on adolescents' sexual risk behaviors and ultimately on the prevention of HIV transmission (Rotheram-Borus, 2000). Environmental factors represent elements of incarcerated adolescents' environments which facilitate or impede their risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Although a few studies with incarcerated adolescents have assessed the influence of environmental factors on health-risk behaviors such as drug use and aggression (e.g., McGarvey, Canterbury, & Waite, 1996; Shahinfar, Kupersmidt, & Matza, 2001; Sigda & Martin, 1996), studies are lacking that specifically focus on environmental factors and incarcerated adolescents' risk for HIV.
Before environmental or structural interventions for incarcerated adolescents can be conceptualized and implemented, investigators first need to identify relevant environments for this population (e.g., where do incarcerated adolescents find themselves?) (Sumartojo, 2000). Second, we must determine influential factors within these environments that impact incarcerated adolescent's sexual decision-making and risk behavior (e.g., what messages, resources, opportunities within these environments directly or indirectly impact their risk for HIV/STDs?). Accordingly, the purpose of this research was to identify, qualitatively salient environments for incarcerated adolescents and factors within these environments that facilitate or impede the HIV risk behaviors of this high-risk group. The study was guided by the ecological systems theory which posits that adolescents' behavior is a function of environmental and individual characteristics (Bronfenbrenner, 1979).
The setting for this qualitative study was three Regional Youth Detention Centers (RYDCs) in Georgia. Participants were from both urban and rural communities (Government Information Sharing Project, 1998). RYDCs represent secure, short-term centers for adolescents awaiting trial in Juvenile or Superior Court, or placement elsewhere within the Department of Juvenile Justice (Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice, 2002).
This study recruited a convenience sample from the RYDCs in February 2002. Participants were eligible for the study if they were 14-19 years of age and English speaking. This study was approved by the Emory University and the Georgia Juvenile Justice Department Internal Review Boards. …

The Republic1853 -- The Gadsden Purchase added nearly 30,000 square miles to the U.S., including land in Arizona.
The treaty was signed in late 1853 and ratified by the Senate in April 1854.
The U.S. paid $10 million for the land, acquired primarily to build a southern railroad line to the Pacific Coast.
In Arizona, the purchase included land south of the Gila River, which included the towns of Tucson and Yuma.

An Hour More or Less
I was sitting in rush-hour traffic and the stoplight was red
when I saw the tinsel and wire form of a ruby/lime candelabra
light up from a telephone pole.
The sun is down at five o'clock now.
White lights wormed around the wire and made the tinsel glitter
(except for the patches that were as dark as holes).
I lost the moment when the light turned from red to green.

We all know that female-coded or -affiliated words are often used to denigrate someone or something. So-and-so cried like a little bitch, Mel Gibson's girlfriend was a worthless cunt in his eyes, etc. I don't use those terms. But while I was on my way to Seattle, I happened to read or see something (I can't remember what) that referred to some quasi-important man (I can't remember who) as a very talented guy, but –thank heavens!–"not a prima donna."
I've heard the expression a zillion times, and I know I've used it myself before, but this particular instance leaped out at me. Prima donna. Italian for "first lady (of an opera company)," English for "snotty bitch." The masculine counterpart for the Italian is primo uomo (first man), which is heard outside the walls of La Scala approximately never, and the English counterpart is…well looky there, there is no counterpart! Because there's nothing particularly nasty or contemptible about being a dude. But if a guy gets a little too big for his britches, the surest way to take him down a peg or three is to feminize him.
Prima donna reminded me of "diva," which also comes from opera, and which is mostly heard in the English-speaking world as another way of slamming women for not being sufficiently deferential or self-loathing. Ever hear someone call a proud man called a "divo"? Probably not. If they've even heard the word, most probably think of these guys:
Or maybe these guys (if you can't see the word and/or are way cooler):
In either case, the association is a positive one.
The purely English counterpart to these terms is equally woman-centered, whether it's being used to describe a man or a woman: "drama queen." Emotional excess being a womanly characteristic, and thus hideous. (And now I think of "sob sister" and "agony aunt"…I'm sure they are legion.)
I certainly know people of all sexes and orientations who have an over-inflated sense of self, or like to stir up shit for the pleasure of swooning and complaining, but "prima donna," "diva," and "drama queen," while convenient and easily understandable in our misogyny-soaked culture, really aren't the best terms, especially when we have the word "asshole," and a panoply of highly-specific adjectives ("self-aggrandizing," "preening," or " narcissistic") to modify it.

The Time is Now to Help
Coworker in need of desperate help
June 16, 2011
Dear W.C.,
I am writing to ask for help for a coworker. She is a hard working woman in her late 50s. She waitresses five days a week and I know it is hard on her. She has had two operations and I see her in pain at times, yet she never complains. I have noticed her coming to work early to do her personal grooming. She tries to sneak in unnoticed and seems very embarrassed about it. Her only child died fifteen years ago in a car accident and she cares for her elderly mother. I know she is a truly good person and is really struggling to make ends meet. Her car is falling apart and there have been times I offered her a ride home due to it not starting. I do not know how she gets around when I am not there. Please help.
Dear Readers,
I did not have a telephone number or address to pay a visit. I had the name of the restaurant where both the person that was requesting assistance for her co-worker and the woman in need of assistance worked. I called and asked to speak to the letter writer. She was very happy to receive my call and informed me when it would be best to visit. I did not want to arrive at the restaurant during a busy meal time. I wanted to speak to the person in need privately.
I arrived at the restaurant and met the letter writer. She made a point of seating me in the section of the woman that needed assistance. When my waitress arrived she seemed very polite and even had a smile on her face, but I could see the stress of poverty in her eyes. The smile did not radiate to the rest of her face, as so often is the case in those we help.
After several attempts at a conversation I decided I would just have to introduce myself and see if she was familiar with The Time Is Now To Help. She looked surprised and very politely spoke about our organization. When I asked if she knew of anyone that would be in need of our assistance she told me she was concerned over an elderly neighbor of hers. I asked if she would pay a visit there with me the next day and she agreed. I could see she was a proud woman and would not easily share her need for assistance with me. I left her with a good tip and my business card.
The next morning I met the waitress at her neighbor's house. We knocked on the door and it was answered by a petite woman with a walker. I could see it was dim inside and I immediately worried about the utilities being disconnected. She invited me in after being introduced. The waitress had been right in her concern over her elderly neighbor. She was recuperating from a recent fall and the medical bills had made it impossible for her to pay for rent, utilities, and food. Here the waitress was certainly suffering in poverty herself, yet she only had asked for help for her neighbor. I could see she was a selfless woman, and that made me want to ease her pains of poverty even more.
We assisted the elderly neighbor with food, utility reconnection, and past due rent. The elderly woman cried and took me aside when it was time for us to leave and whispered in my ear, "The woman that brought you here to help me is in need of assistance herself. Please help her as you have helped me. She is kind and always checks on me. I noticed she never has any lights on so I think she may be in as bad of shape as I am." I left with a promise to help the kind waitress as well.
When we left I asked the waitress where she lived. She pointed to the small house next door. She said she had rented the same house for many years. Her mother had just moved in with her six months earlier. Her mother was disabled, wheelchair bound, and needed her help. I told her I would love to meet her mother. She hesitantly invited me inside. Sure enough when we went inside her home I could see her utilities were disconnected. Not only was the electric off, but the water also. There were jugs of water lined up on the counter and the house was strangely quiet and dark. I kindly told her we needed to talk. She looked down in tears and shame. I assured her there was nothing to be ashamed of.
I met the mother and she delicately took my hand in hers. I could see the misshapen joints and fingers that reminded me of my own mothers. She had suffered from the same disease for many years. The mother was propped up in a chair with pillows and was reading a book with the only light that came in through a window. We talked for several minutes more and after the waitress asked her mother if she needed anything, we went into the kitchen to speak in private. I could see the waitress did not want to alarm her mother anymore than she already was by their present state. As soon as we got out of the room the waitress broke down in tears. She said she had been holding in her worry for so long because she was too embarrassed to tell anyone about her poverty. I assured her we would help both her, her mother, and her neighbor.
I saw some of the stress and sadness leave her eyes and a look of hope replaced them. She told me of her shame and humiliation when she had to do her personal grooming at work. She shared how difficult it was to care for her mother without the most basic needs of water and electricity. We also talked about the death of her only child and the toll it took on her marriage and her life. Her husband had left soon after and they had never pursued a divorce. He had been the main income earner so she was left to fend for herself with his departure. The only way she had found to do that was by becoming a waitress many years ago.
We went over her bills and budget. I saw how the economy had taken its toll on her income. She shared with me how much easier it was with fair tips even a few years ago. Now as people have become more frugal they cut back on their tips. Since most service employees count on tips, not an hourly rate for their income it has been especially hard for them. Most waitresses only earn two dollars and some change per hour. Please remember this with your generosity when you eat a meal in a restaurant.
I made a suggestion to see how well it was received. I asked how she would feel about taking in her neighbor as a boarder. It was an idea I thought could work to ease both the senior women's loneliness at being homebound and ease the financial strain of two households combined into one. The neighbor could live within her means if she only had to pay room and board. She also could keep the waitresses mother company when she was at work. The waitress was very happy with the idea and suggested we go back next door immediately to share the idea. We found the neighbor sitting in a chair on her front stoop. She was surprised and happy to see us both visiting again so soon, and this time with smiles on our faces.
The waitress told her neighbor about our idea and we both saw her eyes fill with tears. She said, "I thought no one would want to live with an old lonely woman like me." The waitress wrapped her arms around her and said, "You will never be lonely living at my house." With that we went over the details of the move and their future budget. The Time Is Now To Help assisted them with a month's rent and had their utilities reconnected. We surprised the waitress with a recently donated reliable car. This time the waitress was crying. The need for a reliable vehicle was a constant stress for her, yet she never asked for any help with her old car. She promised to take good care of the car and gave thanks to God and the anonymous owner that had donated it to The Time Is Now To Help.
Several weeks after the women moved in together I stopped by to see how things were going. The waitress was at work but the two senior ladies were at home. This time both women were sitting outside enjoying the sunshine after a long winter. They both were overjoyed to see me and full of thanksgiving for all the help we provided them. They were so thankful for running water and electricity. They told me how nice it was to have someone to talk too all day, rather than sitting in their house all by themselves. Then I saw them both reach out and take each other's hand and reach for mine. They said, "Praise God for bringing you, The Time Is Now to Help, into our lives." Once again, together, we have eased the pains of poverty for our fellow creations.

Takacs Quartet
October's Classical Music Roundup: Takacs Quartet, Joshua Bell at SF Symphony and New Spectrum Ensemble
By Amber Adrian on October 04, 2010 11:59 AM
Takacs Quartet
Takacs Quartet, one of the world's foremost chamber ensembles, takes the San Francisco stage for the first time in more than 20 years. As does Geraldine Walther, who defected from the San Francisco Symphony five years ago to join Takacs Quartet (as a twenty-nine year veteran, she was probably ready for a change of scenery) (not to imply the SF Symphony scenery isn't a pleasure to behold). Applying their legendary technical skill and musical magnetism to Haydn, Beethoven, and Bartók (a bow to the ensemble's Hungarian roots), this Grammy- winning group is a one night only offer.

These small brown seeds may help you achieve a healthy weight and protect your heart at the same time...
Chia seeds are actually part of the mint family. They're grown in Latin America and are now becoming more popular in the UK. They're made up of around 15% protein, 50% carbohydrates and 35% fat. However only 10% of this fat is classed as the unhealthy 'saturated' type. Chia seeds are a good source of calcium – in fact a tablespoon will provide about 15% of a woman's daily recommended allowance.
You should include chia seeds as part of your diet for the following reasons...
Heart Protection
Studies show that whole and ground chia seeds could raise blood levels of omega-3s. Plus they found that whole seeds could reduce the level of triglycerides (that's bad fats, to you and me), whilst ground chia can increase levels of 'good' cholesterol, which can lessen the risk of developing heart disease.
Weight Management
Chia seeds have a low glycaemic index (GI) because of the mixture of protein, healthy fats and fibre. This means they're great for keeping a stable blood sugar level and can help when you're trying to stick to a diet. If you left chia seeds in water for thirty minutes they would form a gel – this is apparently thought to happen in the stomach too; which could slow the speed at which digestive enzymes get to carbohydrates in the seeds, which slows the conversion to absorbable sugars.
How can I use them?
Chia seeds have a nutty flavour that's mild so they're perfect as a topping on things like yoghurt, cereals or salads. Sprinkle them on cakes or add them to smoothies before you blend - although it's worth noting their thickening qualities, so don't get too carried away!

Ultrasound technicians are one of the most popular positions in the medical industry. It ranks third behind registered nurses and licensed doctors. Ultrasound technicians are given a number of responsibilities and duties. Helping doctors diagnose medical issues is probably the primary responsibility of ultrasound technicians.
Ultrasound technicians must complete a rigorous training program before they can become certified to work as technicians in hospitals or other health care facilities. These programs typically last two to four years, and can be completed at a community college or at a four-year university under an Associate's or Bachelor's degree. A two-year Associate's degree is the most common education and training ultrasonographers receive.
Are you considering the possibility of becoming an ultrasound technician? You must pass all the ultrasound technician courses with exceptional grades. Let's take a look at a few tips that can help you become a certified technician.
√ Prioritize Your Time
You must learn how to prioritize your time if you want to pass all of your ultrasound technician courses. Some of these courses will be hard while others will be less difficult for you to master. Prioritizing your time will help you create an enormous amount of study time. More studying time will increase your chances of passing the technician school.
√ Ask Questions
Asking questions will help you grasp your coursework. Some ultrasound material will be difficult for you to understand at first. Your instructors are expecting you and your classmates to ask questions at some point during their lectures. Asking questions will help you excel with your ultrasound courses.
√ Study Groups
Statistics show that students perform better on tests when they participate in study groups. Study groups give one an opportunity to see various angles or perspectives on class material. This can help one perform better on upcoming exams. It is prudent that you get acquainted with your classmates. Doing this will put you in a position to be invited to study groups.
√ Volunteer
Volunteering is one way of getting ahead with your ultrasound courses. Instructors enjoy helping students who volunteer in class. Volunteering will let your professor known that you are serious about becoming an ultrasound technician one day.
Ultrasound technicians are very popular in the medial industry. They play an important role in diagnosing various issues that are causing health ailments for patients. Ultrasound technician courses are intense and difficult at times. One can excel in tech school with ease if he or she follows the tips listed above.

Football fans and book-lovers alike are bound to get a kick out of these titles.
IT'S that time again, when football jerseys and eyebags are the rage, and all everyone can talk about is a certain black-and-white orb. So if you're going to eat, sleep and breathe foot
ball this World Cup season, you might as well read it too.
While there is no shortage of books on football – everything from biographies and analyses to coffee table books and encyclopaedias abound – there is something special about reading fiction revolving around "the beautiful game" – the many ways in which the theatrics of the sport can be woven in with the drama of life make for compelling reading.
Here are our top picks for fictional writing on football. (Do you have any titles to add? Share them with us, tell us why they're great at firstname.lastname@example.com.)
How Steeple Sinderby Wanderers Won The FA Cup
Author: J.L. Carr
Author Carr was an amateur footballer himself, and therefore brings a great sense of realism to this 1975 comic fantasy. Written in the form of an official history of a village football club in England, the story tells of how the Steeple Sinderby Wanderers made it through the FA Cup matches to beat the Glasgow Rangers. The tongue-in-cheek style and matter-of-fact narration combine to tell an enjoyable tale of underdogs triumphing against the odds.
Author: Heidi Ayarbe
Seventeen-year-old football (or soccer, since it's set in America) player Jake Martin is a star athlete in his high school, all set to lead his team towards their third victory. Behind that facade, however, is a constant struggle to hide his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). An in-depth examination of both the physical and mental challenges involved in living with OCD, Compulsion contrasts Jake's experiences on the field with his relationships to tell a powerful story about inner strength.
Watch the video.
The Damned Utd
Author: David Peace
Described by Peace as "fiction based on fact", this 2006 novel is a fictionalised account of late football player and team manager Brian Clough's short stint as manager of Leeds United, in 1974.
Written from Clough's point of view by using his inner monologue, the book blends known facts about Clough with rumours, theories and just plain fiction to paint a picture of a troubled protagonist, one who struggles with anger and alcoholism while haunted by memories of his happier days as manager of Derby County.
The Unfortunates
Author: B.S. Johnson
A movie adaptation starring Michael Sheen, directed by Oscar-winner Tom Hooper, was released in 2009. First published in 1969, The Unfortunates is unique in both concept and execution. Described as a "book in a box", the 27 sections of the work are unbound, with only the first and last chapters specified. The remaining sections are designed to be read in any order, and range from just one paragraph to a dozen pages.
The story uses a football match to ruminate on deeper issues like memory and grief – a sportswriter is sent on assignment to a city to cover a football match, but finds himself haunted by memories of a friend who died of cancer.
Meant to echo the randomness of memory and the mind, the novel was ahead of its time, and even today, is striking for its bold approach to storytelling.
Keeper, The Penalty, and Exposure
Author: Mal Peet
The Paul Faustino novels by Mal Peet – Peet's three novels featuring South American sports journalist Paul Faustino – Keeper, The Penalty, and Exposure – use football as a backdrop to tell intense and often dark stories of competition, fame and human nature.
From a World Cup winner who claims to be trained by a ghost, to a football prodigy who suddenly disappears, to a successful black football player who battles racism, there is no shortage of drama in these stories. Having scooped up numerous honours, including the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Prize, the novels transcend the label of "sports books".
Authour: Brenda Halpin
This young adult novel puts a much-needed female spin on sports, with its story of 14-year-old best friends and soccer stars Amanda and Lena. With the start of secondary school, Amanda finds herself relegated to junior varsity while Lena makes varsity, and soon, Amanda starts feeling increasingly left out. Confused and lonely, Amanda learns that life is not always as simple as a game of soccer with a best friend. Dealing with puberty, peer pressure and the perils of growing up, Halpin shows that there is more to sports than just macho male posturing.

Looking at several riders throughout the history of motogp crashing to miss races, leaves us wondering about the level of consistency of THE DOCTOR. Apart from what he achieved miserly very few crashes, DNF's and race misses speaks volumes about Rossi's greatness.
Few like stoner never cares anything but takes the bike to limits for race victor, collect a few wins along with crashes and DNF'S. Crashes might even force you to sit out of races and its down to luck to decide whether they'll race or not the next weekend.
Being fastest is just one dimension of racing and a complete racing has lot more in it, Rossi is more complete than anyother rider in current era. there seems to exist a more perfect balance between speed and safety with Rossi which no one else has,, he knows when to attack and when to play down.

Google unveiled its Nexus Q social media streaming sphere at yesterday's I/O keynote and we were eager to get our hands on the new gadget. Thankfully, all attendees of this year's event were treated to the Q along with a new Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus. We've wasted no time tearing it from its cardboard prison to take a look at what comes inside the box. We're still a bit hesitant about how the Nexus Q will be received among the general population, but Google did a pretty good job of hyping it up on stage at Google I/O. Has anyone bit the bullet and placed a pre-order yet?
