PLUS Program
The PLUS Program's Embedded Learning Strategy model blended with a Learning Conversation approach is designed to empower rather than rescue students. Based on their past educational experiences, students may view this as a change and must realize that periods of adjustment accompany any change.
Student self-direction and control of their learning process are crucial components of the University experience and lead to success beyond the University.
The PLUS Program Learning Consultants and Learning Associates will challenge and support the students in developing skills, both academic and social, leading to self-direction, confidence and independence.
Participate in the PLUS Early Connection Program this Summer!
The PLUS Early Connection Program is a summer transition program designed to assist incoming freshman PLUS students making the transition to college. Accepted PLUS students will move in to campus on August 12 and participate in a variety of activities, class sessions, off-campus trips, and tutorial sessions to get you ready for Fall semester.
For questions, please contact The PLUS Program by phone at 740-826-8280 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also visit the PLUS Early Connection Program page.
PLUS Program Mission
Initiated in 1983, the Muskingum University PLUS Program provides quality academic support for Muskingum students with learning differences, thus continuing a tradition of individual attention to all students that is reflective of the University mission. By providing appropriate support and structure to meet the academic needs of qualified students, it stands to reason that the possibility of student success is enhanced.
Some students with learning differences may not meet the normal admissions standards but may show promise for successfully participating in college. Therefore, part of the mission is to admit such students and provide the structured and specialized academic support of the PLUS Program, thereby providing opportunity for these students to have a successful higher education experience.
The PLUS Program encourages individual fulfillment by assisting students in uncovering their unique strengths and passions, reinforcing self-confidence and building life-long learning skills. As students begin to know and value themselves as learners, they develop self-awareness, self-management and self-advocacy skills, so they are better equipped to reach their whole person potential. An Embedded Learning Strategy instruction model that is blended with a Learning Conversation approach provides the foundation for students to develop critical thinking, positive action, ethical sensitivity and spiritual growth, which fosters students' potential to lead personally satisfying, socially responsible and vocationally productive lives.
Muskingum University's caring community is extended as PLUS Program services are offered within an environment that is knowledgeable and appreciative of learning differences and how they uniquely manifest and effect each student.
Respect for human dignity is a deep-rooted value in the PLUS Program, which is committed to empowering rather than rescuing students.
The mission and philosophy of the PLUS Program are congruent with the mission of Muskingum University.
Additional information may be obtained from the PLUS Program by phone at 740-826-8280, by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by mail at Walter Hall, Muskingum University, New Concord, Ohio 43762-1199.

Lee Hsien Loong (simplified Chinese: 李显龙; traditional Chinese: 李顯龍; pinyin: Lǐ Xiǎnlóng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Li Hian-liong; born 10 February 1952) is the third and current Prime Minister of Singapore. Lee Hsien Loong is married to Ho Ching, who is the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the government-owned Temasek Holdings. He is the eldest son of former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.
The eldest child of former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and Kwa Geok Choo, Lee was born in Singapore on 10 February 1952. His grandmother Chua Jim Neo was a Hokkien Nyonya, and his mother Kwa Geok Choo has ancestry from Tong'an District, Xiamen. In Lee Kuan Yew's biography, the young Lee had learned Jawi script since he was five, and has always been interested in the affairs of Singapore, often following his father to the rally grounds since 1963.
Lee studied at Nanyang Primary School, received his secondary education at Catholic High School and subsequently studied at National Junior College, where he learned the clarinet under the tutelage of Adjunct Associate Professor Ho Hwee Long. He studied mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge University, where he graduated in 1974 with First Class Honours in Mathematics and a Diploma in Computer Science (with distinction). He subsequently obtained a Master of Public Administration (MPA) from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government in 1980.

PetSafe PIG00-13661 In-Ground Deluxe Radio Fence:
You can train as many dogs as you want on the same electric dog fence system, as long as they are each wearing a receiver collar.
The PetSafe PIG00-13611 in-ground deluxe radio fence will ensure you safe, comfortable
and effective containment of pets weighing 8 pounds or more. The system works
by producing a radio signal transmitted from the fence transmitter through as
much as 500 feet of boundary wire enclosing the pet area (up to 25 acres). The
pet wears a receiver collar with contact points touching the neck and can easily
be trained to stay within the pet area.
When the pet strays into the warning zone the receiver collar gives a warning
beep. If the pet continues into the warning zone, a safe, static correction
is delivered through the contact points until the animal returns to the pet
area. The pet-specific customized training method includes three adjustable
training modes--warning only, correction only, and warning followed by correction.
The adjustable collar comes equipped with a waterproof receiver, which requires
a 6-volt battery and includes a low-battery indicator. The side facing the throat
offers a concave inside surface and curved washers for a more comfortable fit.

Using Hackers' Own Methods & Tools to Defeat Persistent Threats
Mar 12 2014
40 mins
Michael Davis, CTO, CounterTack
In today's world of advanced persistent threats, security professionals need to implement new methods and strategies to gain the upper hand in protecting their business. Thinking like an attacker isn't really good enough. However, incorporating hacker methodologies & tools will give security teams the situational awareness and intelligence needed to respond quickly to new & previously unknown threats.
Thinking like an attacker isn't good enough, nor are traditional solutions, as smart adversaries already know which technologies they'll disable on your system. However, incorporating the right hacker-like methods and tools can give security teams a new level of situational awareness and context needed to respond quickly to targeted, persistent threats.
Attendees will learn a new approach consisting of four fundamentals: Detect, Remediate, Analyze and Resist. The presentation will provide detailed information including how to:
• Use attacker technology and tools against adversaries to detect their presence on all endpoints
• Incorporate the same stealth techniques that attackers use to remain hidden from you - so you can monitor them
• Leverage forensics at the point of attack to better understand the overall threat
• Use big data analytics to collect and analyze behavioral data across the enterprise

I Survived Rock'n'Roll: Security Incident Escalation and Response
Feb 18 2014
53 mins
Winn Schwartau, CEO, The Security Awareness Company
The Show Must Go On! How Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Bob Marley and Charlie Daniels prepared me for the Security Industry. This highly entertaining and relevent presentation maps the skills needed in my first career as a recording engineer for live productions to best practices for cyber security incident reporting and escalation. A great case for interdisciplinarianism.
Our cyber-security education system fails to train adequately. We don't teach history – to our own detriment. We don't create a foundation of actionable knowledge, instead relying on book knowledge. We don't explore interdisciplinary synergies and we have failed to embrace failure as a well-earned skill set. In the music business, we had to deal with constant failures, beginning with equipment malfunctions in our DIY world. We had to be able to fix on the fly and deal with the human foibles of musicians and unions (i.e., users).
Join me in looking at decades of technology and how so much of we have all learned in "Prior Lives" can be the live lessons for how we deal with information security.

Look after your keys and they will look after you - The five steps to sound key
Feb 18 2014
49 mins
Richard Moulds, Thales e-Security VP of Strategy and Product Marketing
Addressing virtually any of the current security mega-trends – government surveillance, privacy regulation, BYOD, cloud computing and big data - drives the need for more cryptography across core systems infrastructure and critical business applications. Whether encrypting sensitive data, strengthening IDs and credentials or digitally signing documents and software the actual security benefits you gain depend heavily on how you manage your cryptographic keys. Key management is not a simple task and it carries with it serious business continuity issues, real operational costs and is frequently a point of scrutiny for auditors. The days of using spreadsheets and thumb drives for managing cryptographic keys are numbered.
During this session we will look at the types of keys that organizations have to manage, and how the key management challenge varies across multiple use cases in the enterprise. We'll cover developments in the area of key management technologies, new standards that are emerging and preview the results of a global survey on the use of encryption and key management practices.

quick update from Amsterdam, pretty jet-lagged & tired on this side of the pond!
hazel - and you know after the 5 ww there is more then more. i am starting to realize the baby making process is definitely one that will teach us patience (especially for us - the process lasts way more than 9 months!) hang in there it will go by fast! (or at least that's what all my mom-friends say...) i really love amsterdam too! it's such a great city, it feels like a big global village, the size is so manageable though it has the conviniences of paris or london. it's mostly work though we did squeeze in dinner in one of my favorite restaurants here (and no sushi this time!) but i had to head back to the hotel while my colleagues headed to an awsome belgian beer bar after dinner. it snowed last weekend so it's a bit messy to walk around, which i usually enjoy after a long day in the office.
gamegirl - don't worry about the frequency of your RE visits. the only reason i went back twice since the beta is b/c my progesterone lvl was too low and they wanted to monitor progress. otherwise i think the only apts would have been beta at 8 and 14 days, then u/s at 7 week. i tried to get in for an early u/s to see (and maybe count:) the sacs and they said there was no point, though i know a lot of REs do u/s way before the heartbeat u/s. i think they all have their m.o. and like sticking to it. my r/e also said ok for tylenol but none of the other meds. it's funny i had headaches too, i attributed to the caffeine withdrawal (i went cold turkey on my latte addiction) but maybe there is more to it than that...
brmommy2b - almost another u/s, yay! i can't wait to hear how it goes!!
have a good rest of the day!

Semien's slam sparks White Sox comeback win
DETROIT -- Through 22 games of the 2014 season, Marcus Semien has proven one fact to be absolutely true.
He only hits home runs with the game on the line.View Full Game Coverage
DETROIT -- Through 22 games of the 2014 season, Marcus Semien has proven one fact to be absolutely true.
He only hits home runs with the game on the line.View Full Game Coverage
Semien picked up his third home run during the White Sox 6-4, come-from-behind victory over the Tigers on Wednesday night at Comerica Park, and it was his third home run that gave the White Sox the lead in the seventh inning or later. The rookie infielder is the only Major League player to accomplish that feat this season.
But this long ball had an even greater impact than his solo shots at home against the Twins (eighth inning) and Indians (eighth).
With the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh inning and the Tigers (10-8) holding a two-run lead, Semien lofted a 3-1 fastball from Ian Krol into the left-field stands for the first grand slam of his career. Semien was sitting "dead red" in that situation.
"He missed a couple up on me and one of them I check swung," Semien said. "But that was lower and I just got extended on it."
"A 3-1 fastball, kind of just laid it in there and it was up," said Krol of the game-deciding pitch. "What every hitter's looking for 3-1, to be honest with you. Made a mistake there."
This four-run seventh began against Evan Reed (0-1) with a Paul Konerko single, marking his second of three hits on the night, giving him four in the last five at-bats and 2,302 for his career. Konerko broke Frank Thomas' franchise career total base record of 3,949 in the eighth with a double down the third-base line off of Justin Miller, giving him 3,950 overall.
After an Alexei Ramirez flyout, Alejandro De Aza broke out of a 6-for-58 slump with a single to right and Tyler Flowers coaxed a walk to load the bases. Krol retired Jordan Danks on a foul popup to third baseman Nick Castellanos, but Semien picked up Danks.
"Early on, he had some rough at-bats and he just stays with it," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura of Semien, who struck out in his first two at-bats. "You watch him over the course of this season and he continues to grind and fights off stuff and fights off a tough pitch and gets another one. He's a good player. He's a guy you like to see up there with guys on base."
"Reed, he's pitched extremely well for us, but nobody's going to be perfect," Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. "Today, he had a little bit of an off-day, but he'll be fine tomorrow. He'll be what we hope is back to form, the form he's been in his prior outings this year."
Andre Rienzo (1-0) earned the victory, allowing four earned runs on five hits over 6 1/3 innings during his first big league start of the season as an injury replacement for Felipe Paulino. Rienzo struck out three and walked two.
Those numbers actually were a bit deceiving in that Rienzo allowed just three baserunners total over 5 1/3 scoreless innings, but then gave up all four runs in the fourth. On consecutive pitches in that frame, J.D. Martinez singled home two and Austin Jackson knocked out a two-run homer.
"My curve worked good today, but with Jackson, I made a mistake. It was supposed to be outside, but it happens," said Rienzo, who threw 97 pitches. "But I think it worked good for the most part of the game. The curveball … It has to be more strikes. It kind of helps too because, if I throw a strike, they can't just sit on my fastball."
Jose Abreu got the White Sox going in the first with his seventh homer, a two-run shot off of Drew Smyly with Leury Garcia on base. Abreu crushed the ball to center, just as he did in the first inning Tuesday against Justin Verlander, which is a feat that is rarely seen at spacious Comerica Park let alone on back-to-back nights.
"I knew that one off the bat. Just the way it sounded," said Smyly of Abreu's blast, which made Abreu the White Sox all-time rookie leader in home runs and RBIs (21) for March/April. "I knew that one wasn't coming back. I'm surprised he hit it that far and kept it that straight. That one, you just tip your cap.
A third win in four games did not come without a little ninth-inning peril for the White Sox (11-11). Matt Lindstrom (third save) allowed a Victor Martinez single and walked Jackson in the ninth, sandwiched around long flyouts from J.D. Martinez to straightaway center and Castellanos to right. With runners on second and third, Alex Avila swung at a 3-0 sinker and lined out to Abreu to end the game.
That last bit of heroics was only possible because of another professional at-bat from one of the White Sox talented young hitters.
"Everybody is buying into catering your at-bat to the situation of the game," Konerko said. "Everybody is really doing a good job of not getting too deep mentally into it, but having an awareness of where things are at in the game, the scoreboard, what the guy is trying to do to me.
"Obviously, [White Sox hitting coach Todd Steverson] is preaching that and guys are buying into it. We are going to have to do that to compete all year. If we buy into that and stay into that, we can be real tough up and down the lineup."

Once again, a blog spurred by a good friend of mine, who posted about her Saturday Night Dances...
Back in Cali, growing up, our church did Saturday Night Activities (SNA's) not sure why they were called that since they were always a dance... Anyway- I can honestly trace most of my fondest memories of high school back to those dances.
I remember my first ever dance, when my older cousin kept trying to dance me right off the dance floor because according to him, I was too young to be there. I remember hoping a specific someone would ask me to dance... The same specific someone the whole 4 years of going to those dances. I also keenly remember that he never did ask me to dance. I remember convincing Richard that Julie was older than me. :) I remember making friends that would continue being friends long after I was too old to go to those dances. I met Steve, Carter, and Anthony there- dated them all, stayed friends with one of them. Then there is Lindsay and Autumn, and Charae (Did I spell that right Ju?). I remember dancing until I was just too warm to think straight then walking around the outside of the building to cool off. Good times!
But the one thing I will never be able to forget is the songs. Certain songs will forever be tied back to SNA's. I am stealing a majority of these from my friend's blog, but here are some of them:
Man! I Feel Like a Woman - Shania Twain
Any Man of Mine - Shania Twain
Boot Scootin' Boogie - Brooks & Dunn
Cotton Eyed Joe -
Tub Thumping - Chumbawumba
I'll Never Break Your Heart - Backstreet Boys
Love Shack - B52's
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing - Aerosmith
Living La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin
I Knew I loved You - Savage Garden
Genie in a Bottle - Christina Aguilera
Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega
Want You Back - NSYNC
Bye Bye Bye - NSYNC
Gonna Be (I Would Walk 500 Miles)- The Proclaimers
Mmmmm Bop- Hanson
I Swear- Boyz II Men
How Do I Live- Leann Rimes
Zoot Suit Riot- Cherry Poppin Daddies (remember Ju, "Throw back a bottle of ROOTBEER")
Quit Playin' Games- Backstreet Boys
One Week- Bare Naked Ladies
(Everything I Do) Do It For You- Bryan Adams (remember how this one has a super long pause, then keeps playing- totally awkward, you think its over so you stop dancing, then it starts again so you scramble to find your dance partner and keep dancing...)
Ah, the memories!
A pic of me and my favorite person ever (besides Joe of course) back in our dance goin' days...

The Name Game
Joseph Brent
Named after his Grandfather (Joseph) and father (Brent). Pretty standard...
Pamela Renee
While my mom was pregnant with me, it was decided that I was going to be named Blair whether I was a boy or girl. LUCKY FOR ME my mother was on a bus a few weeks before I was born and she saw a personalized license plate that read "Pamela." And she fell in love with it. As for my middle name, all of my siblings have middle names that are family names. But not me. "Renae just fit" SO- to sum up, all my siblings were named after family- I was named after a licence plate.
First off, my girls will not have middle names. They will eventually be able to use their maiden names as middle names... When I was pregnant with Lil she was gonna be Renee. From day one I was going to name her after my middle name (I had wanted a Renee since I was in grade school and decided my parents screwed my name up and should have named me Renee). Well, Joe really wanted to name one kid of ours a slovic name since he served a mission in Bulgaria. I was fine with that... as long as it wasn't a girl cause her name was gonna be Renee. Well, we found out it was a girl, and Joe was totally fine with Renee. BUT- he was showing me pictures of people from his mission one day and showed me a picture of a woman named Lilia, and I instantly KNEW that was my daughters name. So Joe got his wish, and I dropped Renee all together.
The day we found out baby #2 was a girl, I found the name Audrey, and that was gonna be her name. But, Joe was not feelin' it. He didn't hate it, but he also didn't love it either. A few months before she was born I was watching the first episode of last season's "So You Think You Can Dance" and one of the competitors was Lacey (sister to the previous season's winner). I loved the name instantly. Joe still wasn't for sure. When I went into labor, he was online looking up names. He finally found one he liked. Sophie. We decided to see what she looked like when she was born. A few minutes after her birth, once she started breathing, he looked at her, looked at me and said, " She is NOT a Sophie, definitely a Lacey."

It's Easter already?!
Easter was really uneventful for us this year. It really became apparent that I need to be better at forming family traditions of my own for Easter. On Saturday we did do a neighborhood easter egg hunt. It was less of a hunt and more of an Easter Egg RUN. Its a wide open field that has tons and tons of eggs spread across it. They have it sectioned off into age groups. Lil was in the youngest kids group for the last time. Next year she moves up to the next age group... Well, they have a fire truck there that blares its siren, which is the starting signal. As soon as the siren goes off the kids make a mad dash at the eggs in their section... Lil did really well! I didn't get pictures cause I wasn't there, Joe took her while I put the baby down for her nap. Anyway- thats the only egg hunt Lil had this year. We then came home and did a little bit of nothing besides decorating eggs (which I was too dumb to take pictures of).
Sunday morning the girls woke up to Easter baskets and new church dresses. Lacey's basket was really just her dress, a small toy and a couple eggs we decorated the day before. Lil had a more bounteous basket... Lots of chocolate, candy, a couple little kid nail polishes, and some soap paint for the bathtub, as well as her new dress. I got the girls dressed in their new dresses (which were super cute and matching, but I couldn't find the camera, so once again, no pictures) and we went to church. The Easter program was wonderful, and the kids were pretty well behaved, but by the time church was out, Lil had made a mess out of her dress so no pictures then either! Man! I totally suck at this picture taking thing! Well, Sunday night we went to dinner at my MIL's house, but she is boycotting Easter cause there are no flowers in bloom yet, so she is gonna be doing an egg hunt sometime in the next few weeks... So yeah, we saw family, we ate candy, we got the girls new dresses, but otherwise, a pretty uneventful Easter. It IS nice to see the family though!
SO- Because I failed to take pictures of my kids, here are a few pictures from Easter of TWO YEARS AGO- when Lil was only 1 1/2...

Love that child! (Part Deux)
What happens while mom is preoccupied with the older child's hair...
Posted by Pam at 3:43 PM 2 comments
Love that child!
Lil is a great kid. Really. She is. I am so proud of her most of the time, and she is such a funny girl nearly all of the time... Then there are those few times a week/day/month when I just wanna rip my hair out with frustration... This morning was one of those times. It seems that yesterday my lovely daughter got hold of some safety scissors at preschool. And what did she do with those scissors? She gave herself a discrete haircut! Now sadly, I didn't hear about this from the teachers. I found out myself yesterday afternoon when she woke up from her nap and some of the freshly cut hair was standing straight up. Luckily it was easily hide-able... All was well. No serious damage, we had the "we don't cut our own hair" talk and all was well. Until this morning when I was doing her hair and noticed a WHOLE LOT MORE missing. I know she didn't do it since our talk, so obviously I didn't look close enough the first time, and she had cut herself a decent amount of hair. LUCKILY it was still salvageable, though her hair is much much shorter now. I was sad to take her in for her first big girl haircut, but really, it turned out quite cute.
And from behind...

Have you ever...
Have you ever wanted so badly to have something interesting to say, yet you really can't seem to find anything noteworthy, though you still feel the need to say SOMETHING, so you find yourself saying (or in this case typing) a bunch of nothing instead? Yeah- thats this post. I can't help but wonder if it would be wiser to not type anything at all, rather than a bunch of nonsense that is totally useless.
I have actually sat here for a good 3 minutes trying to come up with something noteworthy to talk about, and yet I am drawing a blank. Yeah- thats sad. Nothing to say. Yet if you were to call me I am sure I could talk your ear clean off! Wonder why that is... is it because there are just some things better talked about and not written down? Or could it be that it is easier to talk than to write so something newsworthy by mouth is not necessarily worth writing about? Or maybe I am in need of something to spark conversation? Yeah- that MUST be it. Gimme a topic and away I go! Lets just hope I can keep up with my mouth!

My baby is growing up. It makes me a bit sad. I am so very very excited to see her hit these major milestones, but it also means saying goodbye to a window of her babyhood that I am truly gonna miss. In the last week my little 7 1/2 month old wonder child hit some pretty major milestones. She is crawling. She is starting to talk. She plays Pat-a-cake. She can pull herself up to standing, and the biggest one? SHE HAS HER FIRST TOOTH.
For about 2 weeks now whenever Joe gets home from work, or when Lacey wakes up from a nap and sees her daddy for the first time, she will smile and say "da da da da..." now I at first thought it was coincidence, but I am beginning to believe that she is doing it on purpose! It makes her daddy so proud to hear her call him "dadda." She also says ma ma ma... if coached enough. :)
When we play pat-a-cake with her I usually hold her hands and clap for her and do all the proper motions. BUT- when I let go and keep singing she starts clapping her little hands together all by herself. And though she can't "roll it" or "mark it with a B" she DOES throw her hands in the air at the end. So. Darn. Cute.
Lacey has finally started crawling. She still only crawls out of necessity, but its only a matter of time before she sees the benefit of being on all 4. She is so funny! She gets so mad when she finally manages to catch up with me, only for me to walk away from her...
She has been struggling with a couple ear infections this last week, and I have credited them with keeping her from sleeping through the night, and she has also lost a lot of her appetite, I assumed, because it hurt to swallow.... turns out not only are her ears bothering her, but her first tooth just broke through last night! This morning I woke up, got her out of her crib, and sho nuff she has a little tooth poking through. Poor girl! No wonder she has been so miserable, it hurts not just in her ears, but also in her little mouth! But-as sad as I am to loose the toothless grin, the single tooth grin is just as cute.
My baby girl is growing up so quickly. It is so neat watching her learn, but at the same time, I am so sad to see her leaving her babyhood behind, and rushing to become a toddler. I sure love this kid though!

Last night
Last night totally sucked eggs. Joe and I recently started a rather intense and very expensive work out program, and I am really enjoying it. Granted I hurt almost non-stop, and I am way way tired every night when I collapse in bed, but otherwise I am really enjoying the workouts. Well- last night I managed to push myself just a little bit too hard. I think. I still don't know for sure if it was over exertion or if it was dinner, but when I finished working out (it was like 11:30pm) I went upstairs to the kitchen to get myself a banana. By the time I got to the kitchen I decided adding food to my belly would cause me to throw up. Sure enough, an hour later, I bolted from my bed giving myself just enough time to pull my hair into a ponytail, then I tossed my cookies... or more precisely- my hamburger and strawberry soda. That sucked. So next week when it comes time to repeat last nights work out, I will NOT be eating a large greasy burger for dinner. Uck.
So back to the story- I, then, of course I headed back to bed around 12:45 and what happens? Lacey wakes up at 1. Joe, being the great guy that he is, got up and tried to pacify her, but to no avail. She is suffering from a double ear infection, and wanted her momma. Sooooo- I got up, and got her back to sleep. Didn't really get good sleep until around 3 am, and Lil and Lace woke me up at 7:30. Mean kids. Don't they know that Saturday is sleeping in day?!
The real sucky thing about it all? I usually LOVE strawberry soda (dunno why- must date back to being deprived of it during my childhood or something like that). BUT- after last nights episode I think I will be steering clear of it for a while. :S I will miss you sweet soda!

SO I have finally done it. I have joined the blogging world. I might as well start by introducing myself. At least a little. I have two daughters. Lilia (3 years) and Lacey (7 1/2 months). No- the L's are not a theme. The names we liked best just happen to start with L. In fact, if we had gone with our original names our girls would be Renae and Audrey. Or Renae and Sophie. But Lilia's name came to my husband and won me over almost instantly. Then Lacey got her name while I was in labor. Even then, she was either Lacey or Sophie, but when we took one look at her blue little face and body, we both said, "Lacey." No worries- she pinked up fine- eventually...
I also happen to have a husband. Yeah- he is pretty awesome. Named Joe. I like him bunches. Thats a technical term for lots and lots.
I am a domestic engineer. And lemme tell ya, thats one heck of a hard job! It's totally my job to make sure these children become somewhat normal functioning adults, who don't totally hate me.
Speaking of hating me, the baby is currently screaming at me in what I can only assume is the Adamic language that she is wanting attention and possibly some food. To be continued...

Zionism condemned
The year 2017 saw the centenary of the notorious Balfour Declaration and there has been, especially throughout that year, much publicity and debate concerning this arrogant British government pronouncement and its aftermath. Yet, amid all of the very deep concern and controversy, two immensely well researched and scholarly books on the subject appear to have escaped public awareness. One of these books, Balfour in the Dock, by Colin Andersen, published at a time when it should have attracted the greatest interest. The book reviews and pays tribute to a much earlier work, Palestine the Reality, written by the journalist, J.M.N Jeffries (1880-1960).

Life under Israeli Military Occupation
Every area of Israeli-Occupied Palestinian territory experiences arbitrary restrictions of movement imposed by the Israeli Army. The lack of freedom of movement is the frustrating and humiliating background to daily life for the Palestinian people, whose suffering includes a variety of human rights abuses, from night home invasions to wanton acts of agricultural and economic sabotage. The Israeli Occupation Army enforces a permit system for the benefit of settlers that determines where Palestinians may live in their own land.
A major aquifer under the West Bank is controlled by Israel and from it the occupying power illegally plunders two-thirds of the precious water. Across the Occupied West Bank, Israel's illegal settlements have completely free access to water. Settler homes enjoy full swimming pools and well-watered gardens, while Palestinian access to their own water is severely restricted. Israel compounds this crime in two ways: The Zionist state forces Palestinians to pay the Israeli government public water supply company Mekorot for what little water they are allowed and, at the same time, Israel forbids Palestinians to sink wells or even build water storage facilities. Palestinians living under Israeli occupation are restricted to about 70 litres a day per person – well below the 100 litres per capita daily recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) – whereas Israeli daily per capita consumption, at about 300 litres, is about four times as much. In some rural communities Palestinians survive on far less than even the average 70 litres, in some cases barely 20 litres per day, the minimum amount recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for emergency situations response.
In addition, reports by both the World Bank and the United Nations Environment Programme show that the water crisis in Gaza is likely to be critical and irreversible by 2020. The reports show that Gaza is almost completely dependent on a coastal aquifer that has now become filled with undrinkable sea water. Both international bodies express concern that Israeli military occupation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip means severe limitations on people's access to essential water supplies.
One example of the water discrimination faced by Palestinians is the plight of Furush Beit Dajan villagers in the Jordan Valley. A visit by a delegation that included two British MPs in January 2015, co-ordinated by EWASH member Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC), heard how the Israeli occupation was choking the community's access to water. Israeli settlements surrounding the village faced no restrictions on access to water resources while Palestinians are only allowed to extract water from wells down to a depth of 80m. Palestinian farmers are unable to obtain the quantity or quality of water necessary to effectively irrigate their crops. Following the Occupation of the West Bank in 1967 the Israeli Army seized all the agricultural land in the area and Palestinian farmers are forced into renting their own land back from the Israelis.
Restrictions of movement
Israel places checkpoints at the entrances to towns and villages to prevent people from entering or leaving. Interference with people attempting to move around towns and villages consists of blocking roads with concrete blocks, barbed-wire and/or earth mounds. People attempting to transport farm produce and other goods find obstacles placed on the roads by the Israeli Army. Trucks have to be unloaded by hand and similarly re-loaded onto vehicles brought from beyond the obstructions. Road closures are used to isolate areas wherever the Israeli Army considers the presence of Palestinians to be 'illegal'. When the Israeli Army declares a curfew, anyone appearing in the street or at a window is liable to be shot dead. There are instances of Palestinian mothers giving birth at checkpoints, having been denied ready access to hospital. In some cases mothers have died as a result of Israeli Army indifference. *Restrictions of movement comprise: Closures of checkpoints - Flying checkpoints - Closures (per district) - Closures of main roads - Closures of crossings.
Agricultural and economic sabotage
Both the Israeli Army and illegal (according to international law) settlers terrorise Palestinian farmers, often preventing them from working their land, as well as frequently uprooting or setting fire to Palestinian olive trees and bulldozing their crops. The United Nations (UN Security Council Resolution 465) has repeatedly upheld the view that Israel's construction of settlements constitutes violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The International Court of Justice (see also summary) says these settlements are illegal and no foreign governments support Israel's settlements. The aim of the settlements is both to take land and resources from the local people and to bring pressure to bear on them to leave. On 21 January 2015, the newspaper Falesteen reported that the Israeli Occupation settlement of Kiryat Arba in Hebron had demanded the equivalent of US$22,359 in property 'taxes' from a Palestinian farmer, Al-Ja'bari, for his nearby house and farmland.
The Gaza fishing industry
The Gaza fishing industry is being crippled by the enforcement of a draconian fishing limit. The Israel Navy forces Palestinian fishing boats to remain within a three-nautical-mile, over-fished zone, sometimes at the cost to crews of life, limb and property. Gaza City's ruined international airport is permanently closed. Palestinians needing to enter or leave Palestine can do so only with Israeli permission. In addition to Israel's occasional massive bombing raids, Gaza residents are forced to live with the constant fear of overflying drones and the traumatising effects of sonic booms created by Israeli war planes. The effects on the children of Gaza are particularly distressing.
House demolitions and evictions
The Israeli Army routinely destroys Palestinian houses built without Israel's permission. Since the beginning of 2015, the Israeli Occupation has demolished 77 homes, livestock shelters, farm buildings and other structures in Area C of the West Bank, resulting in 110 people, around half of them children, losing their homes at the height of the winter, according to a report compiled by the United Nations Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). OCHA also reported that between 19 and 26 January, Israel had already demolished 41 structures, far higher than the weekly average in 2014 of nine demolitions per week. In that seven-day period, the Israeli occupation delivered 45 'halt to construction' orders and two demolition orders. In 2014, Israel demolished the homes of 969 Palestinians – a total of 493 homes and ancillary structures in Area C of the West Bank which, under the Oslo Accords, is under exclusive Israeli control. In East Jerusalem seven Palestinian buildings were demolished, including two on 29 January in the Jabal Mukkaber neighbourhood. Buildings were also torn down in Issawiya, Shuafat and Ras al-Amud. In East Jerusalem, 208 Palestinians were displaced in 2014 after Israel demolished 97 buildings. In 2014, according to OCHA figures, the Israeli occupation destroyed 590 Palestinian-owned structures in Area C and East Jerusalem, displacing 1177 people. The 41 structures destroyed by Israel between 19 and 26 January, according to OCHA, were in Bedouin and other pastoral communities in Hebron, Jericho, Ramallah and Beit Iksa, north-west of Jerusalem. The destruction included buildings that had been donated by European humanitarian organisations. Construction stop orders were issued for a park funded by donor nations in the Yatta area and buildings in the Ramallah area and near Tubas, in the northern Jordan Valley.
On 23 January 2015, the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Co-ordinator, James W. Rawley, expressed his concern over the recent spate of Israeli Army demolitions of Palestinian homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. "In the past three days, 77 Palestinians, over half of them children, have been made homeless," said Mr. Rawley.
"Some of the demolished structures were provided by the international community to support vulnerable families. Demolitions that result in forced evictions and displacement run counter to Israel's obligations under international law and create unnecessary suffering and tension. They must stop immediately," he said.
Israel's planning policies very much limit the ability of Palestinians to build in East Jerusalem, discriminating against them compared to Jews. In Area C – the majority of the West Bank – except in certain exceptional cases, Israel does not allow Palestinians construction levels to match natural population growth, and prevents hundreds of communities with some 300,000 Palestinian residents to connect to essential infrastructure and services (according to OCHA figures). Under this Israeli-imposed regime, Palestinians living in overcrowded housing and appalling conditions, are faced with the choice, either to move out to the Palestinian enclaves in Areas A and B or build homes without Israeli permits and face the consequences.
Home invasions and abductions of children and other youngsters
Israeli troops frequently invade Palestinian homes (often at dead of night) and abductions of Palestinian minors are commonplace. Israeli soldiers often vandalise the interiors of Palestinian homes being raided and frequently terrorise children and other minors with threats. Youngsters abducted by Israeli soldiers are often blindfolded and their wrists tied behind their backs. Many children are illegally taken to prison in Israel, where more terror is practised against them, such as solitary confinement and shackling in painful positions for long periods. The majority of these children are detained inside Israel in violation of Article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
This inhumane treatment of children prompted an Investigation and Report by UNICEF in February 2013. The report found that each year approximately 700 Palestinian children aged 12 to 17, mainly boys, are arrested, interrogated and held captive by Israeli army, police and security agents. The majority are charged with throwing stones, an offence that carries a maximum penalty of ten years' imprisonment, or 20 years if thrown at a moving vehicle (six months maximum for a juvenile, 12-13 years). The usual process, as described in the UNICEF Report, is for the child to be aggressively awakened in the middle of the night by armed soldiers, and forcibly brought to an interrogation centre, tied and blindfolded, sleep-deprived and brought to a state of extreme fear. The transfer can take up to an entire day. Interrogation takes place in a police station (without a lawyer or family member present) using a mix of intimidation and threats. Child prisoners have been threatened with death, physical violence, solitary confinement and sexual assault, against themselves or a family member. Most children confess at the end of such interrogation. Some children have been held in solitary confinement, for a period ranging from two days up to one month before the court hearing. Children are generally brought before a military court in leg chains and shackles, wearing prison uniform. Most see their lawyers for the first time when they are brought to the court. UNICEF found that the practices described are in violation of international law.
Israel's toxic hazard weapon
Israel has devised yet another technique designed to to drive Palestinians from their land and weaken their resolve to resist. It is a direct assault on their health that carries the menace of further agricultural and economic sabotage. For instance, activity at Israel's Barkan industrial complex generates growing quantities of polluting waste-water from the production of plastics, lead and other commodities that endanger human health. Pollution from Barkan flows into the streams that run through valleys where there are Palestinian farms as well as towns. Israeli Occupation settlements discharge their untreated waste to add to the pollution. This poisons Palestinian land, crops, farm animals and essential, if meagre, water supplies. Settlers – with Israeli Army assistance – release wild pigs, that reproduce rapidly, into Palestinian areas, spoiling agriculture and damaging olive trees, fencing and small buildings. The pigs cannot be controlled because Israel will not allow the people to own or use firearms, or even knives, to kill the pigs. Poison cannot be used because of the danger to Palestinian farm animals.
'Rubber bullets'
The unqualified term 'rubber bullets' is misleading because it implies that ammunition is made solely of rubber. In fact there are two types of such bullets, both of which are made of steel with a minimal coating (1mm to 2mm) of either rubber or plastic. The medical journal The Lancet has published the results of medical examinations of victims wounded by rubber-coated steel bullets, coming to the conclusion that when firing this type of ammunition it is "impossible to avoid severe injuries to vulnerable body regions such as the head, neck and upper torso, leading to substantial mortality, morbidity and disability."
Tear gas – Israel's daily violations of the CWC
Israel has signed, but refuses to ratify, the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Tear gas riot control agents, including tear gas and pepper-spray, are banned in international warfare under both the 1925 Geneva Protocol and Article 1 of the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention. The CWC defines chemical weapons as "munitions and devices that are designed to cause death or other harm through toxic chemicals" that lead to "death, temporary incapacitation or permanent harm to humans or animals." According to the CWC, "riot control agents" are any chemicals, not specifically named in their list of prohibited chemicals, that can cause humans to suffer rapid "sensory irritation or disabling physical effects which disappear within a short time following termination of exposure." Belligerent military occupation by a foreign power is an act of war and when the Israeli Army fires tear gas grenades at Palestinian villagers in their homes or at protesters it is violating the CWC; the more so when standard weapons of war, such as live fire, accompany the use of tear gas. Persons blinded by tear gas cannot avoid live fire, rubber-coated bullets, stun grenades or military vehicles and bulldozers. But that is the reality for Palestinians living under Israeli military Occupation.
Israeli Army military exercises force Palestinians out of their homes
An example of this practice is contained in an International Women's Peace Service (IWPS) report on the Israeli Army's terrorising of a Bedouin community in the Jordan Valley. The report tells of a continual programme of Israeli military training in the village of 'Atuf that traumatises the population. Every week 22 families, amounting to 172 individuals, are displaced from their homes from 4am to 5pm by Israeli military live-fire exercises. Since 1967 Israeli troops have been forcing the Bedouin people to leave their houses each week. Whole families and their livestock are displaced to outlying fields to the sound of gunfire and explosions. The entire area is designated "Area C" and there is a 'closed military zone' where nothing is allowed to be built or improved. A whole valley of fertile farmland lies uncultivated while the nearby Occupation settlement of Beqa constantly expands. In both 'Atuf and Tamun countless houses have been demolished by the Israeli Army and many more are under demolition orders. Since 1970, 14 people have been killed and 30 have lost limbs due to exploding abandoned Israeli Army ordnance. The explosives can be as small as a pen, easily mistaken by children as harmless. The continual sound of explosions and gunfire results in many cases of psychological trauma, especially to children, and the only school in the district is within earshot of the weekly Israeli military exercises.
Ethnic discrimination
In addition to all of the above, Palestinians citizens of Israel as well as those living under occupation have to contend with more than 50 discriminatory Israeli laws. These affect all areas of life, including rights to political participation, access to land, education, state budget resources and criminal procedures. Some of the laws also violate the rights of refugees.
Israeli Army violence
The Israeli Occupation Army enforces many of the above restrictions with the threat, or actual use, of military action as well as personal physical assault. Thus, daily life for Palestinians is conducted in an all-pervasive atmosphere of violence and fear.
The Prawer Plan
The Israeli Knesset approved a plan which has since been suspended for the mass expulsion of the Arab Bedouin community in the Naqab (Negev) Desert in the south of Israel. If fully implemented, the Prawer Plan would have resulted in the destruction of 35 'unrecognised' Arab Bedouin villages with the forced displacement and dispossession of up to 70,000 Arab Bedouin citizens of Israel.
Please note Latest Update on Prawer Plan:
Israel's goal of destroying all the 'unrecognised' villages in the Negev, originally outlined in its failed (due to massive resistance on the part of targeted Bedouin and Palestinian communities) 2013 'Prawer Plan', has been revived with the announcement by Israel's Agricultural Minister, Uri Ariel, of 'Prawer II', a draft of which has been leaked to local news media. Al Jazeera's Patrick Strickland reports that 'Prawer II' also aims to "deny Bedouin citizens land ownership rights and violate their constitutional protections."

Campers return
Henry Howard "Cotton" Abell, 94, first started taking pictures when he was 10 years old. He won a kite-flying contest and the first prize was a box camera. He continued taking pictures until a few years ago due to macular degeneration. Cotton took most of the photos featured in Cotton's Corner, but his first cousin, Bill Abell, also took some. Bill gave Cotton his slides when he moved to Louisville in the 1950s. Some of the photos in Cotton's collection were also taken by Huley Browne. Browne's widow, Violet, gave Cotton his slides after he passed away.
