BOSTON — Aaron Hern, the 12-year-old Martinez boy injured in the Boston Marathon bombings, will undergo surgery again Wednesday, a family friend said Tuesday afternoon.
Under sedation while he recovers, Aaron only occasionally awakens in the Intensive Care Unit of Boston's Children's Hospital, according to Sandra Hall, a close family friend who traveled to Boston to root for Aaron's mother, Katherine, as she ran the marathon.
In addition to the scheduled surgery Wednesday, doctors will try to determine if Aaron will need skin grafts to help heal his upper thigh where he was burned, Hall added.
But the athletic sixth-grader at Martinez Junior High School does not seemed so worried about his injuries, Hall said, as he does about his family and friends. His father, Alhambra High School football coach Alan Hern, was standing about six to 8 feet away with Aaron's sister, 10-year-old Abby, when the bomb went off, but neither was injured.
When he does wake up, Aaron writes questions on a piece of paper, a tube down his throat preventing him from speaking.
"Did Mom finish?" he pens. "David?" he asks of a friend who was with him at the finish line when the bombs exploded.
"We have to tell him over and over again that everyone is OK, that Mom finished, that he was the only one seriously hurt," Hall said.
But Aaron's younger sister, Abby, has questions of her own, Hall said: How badly is Aaron's hurt? Why did this happen?
"I told her that it wasn't personal, that if the bomber knew Aaron, he would never have deliberately hurt him," she said. "Boston has one sick bomber, but it has millions of angels."
In an update on her Facebook page late Monday, Katherine Hern filled in friends and family on Aaron's condition.
"I'll keep this short because I need to get back to Aaron and try to get some sleep," Hern said. "First, thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. Aaron is in the ICU but stable. Has many lacerations but mostly superficial except one. One on his upper left thigh needs more surgery and just not sure yet the extent of the damage. Will be here about 7-10 days with follow up surgeries."
Hall said help and support from Bostonians as well as from those in the Bay Area has been "unbelievable."
The hospital gave Aaron's parents an apartment to stay in, dozens of people have sent prayers and well-wishes, and a former exchange student the Herns once hosted emailed them from Belgium to get updates on how the family is doing.
"Everywhere we now turn, we are not bombed by evil," she said. "We are bombarded by kindness."
Back home, a Martinez restaurant, Roxx on Main, held a fundraiser to benefit the Hern family, from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday night, said owner Roxanne Cole.
"They are a local family and Martinez is a tight-knit community," Cole said. The restaurant, at 627 Main St., will donate all proceeds to the Herns, she said.
Students at Martinez Junior High School, where administrators say Aaron excels both academically and athletically, received a personal message from school administration inviting them to come down to the counseling office to meet with counselors and Principal Helen Rossi on Tuesday.
"Teachers were asked to brainstorm with their students a variety of ways we could best support Aaron and his family," Rossi said. "Some classes are making cards, and the eighth grade has started collecting donations for any travel expenses."
Rossi said that all of the ideas will be brought to the student council this afternoon.
"We want to emphasize that we are a community and that this is a school issue," Rossi said. "We all take care of each other."

The PC launch of id's anticipated shooter RAGE has been, well, a "[email protected]#$". And that's in the developer's words. Does a massive update released over the weekend help things?
It certainly helps help things. The update, which is out now, adds many of the hardware configuration options people were mystified weren't there in the first place, like in-game settings for VSync and anisotropic filtering, along with the option to adjust the game's use of a texture cache, which might alleviate the PC version's biggest problem of textures popping in all the time.
I say might because even with this adjusted, I still got some pop-in, especially in the towns. The anisotropic options are nice though, since the game (like it has for just about everybody) underestimated my PC's grunt and slid everything too low.
Sadly, my biggest technical problem with the game - the strange gulf in mouse sensitivity between the main game and the menu screens - hasn't bee fixed.

Hilliard police said they couldn't determine why a 21-year-old woman ran into the back of a tractor-trailer rig on I-270 in September. The crash killed Maria Tiberi, daughter of WBNS-TV (Channel 10) sports anchor Dom Tiberi.
Hilliard police say they couldn�t determine why a 21-year-old woman crashed her car into the back of a tractor-trailer on I-270 in September.
The crash killed Maria Tiberi, daughter of WBNS-TV (Channel 10) sports anchor Dom Tiberi.
Shortly before 11 p.m. on Sept. 17, Tiberi was driving south on the Outerbelt when her car crashed into the rear of the semi stopped in heavy traffic at Cemetery Road. The truck was driven by Rita Lynn Wilson of Kalamazoo, Mich.
Tiberi died at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center.
An investigation by Hilliard police found no sign that Tiberi had applied the brakes. No erratic driving was reported, the car had no mechanical failures, and Tiberi�s system was clear of alcohol and drugs.
Investigators said her cellphone was on and functioning, but there was no evidence that she was using it at the time of the crash.
�It is believed that a momentary lapse of attention or an unknown distraction was the probable cause of the accident,� investigators wrote in a news release.
Maria Tiberi was a graduate of Dublin Coffman High School and a student at Ohio State University.

Early Voting
Early voting is one of two ways in which a registered voter of Tennessee may vote before the actual election day. The second way for a registered voter to vote early is called by mail voting.
Both early voting and by mail voting are for the voter's convenience. These two voting choices differ in that to vote by mail, the individual must have a statutory reason. On the other hand, to vote during the early voting period, the person may vote purely for the sake of convenience.
To vote early, a person must appear in person at either the county election commission office or at a satellite voting location opened by the county election commission. For each election, early voting begins 20 days before the election and ends 5 days before the election. Although closed from voting on holidays, a person may vote early on any Saturday that falls during this time frame. (The only exception to this time period, involves a municipal election in which there is not any opposition for any of the offices involved on the ballot.)
There are many advantages to voting early, namely being able to choose a day during the early voting period that best fits the voter's schedule and the voter being able to change his or her address of registration and vote in the same voting location.

Some Dance to Forget
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Dec 29, 2008 Category: ArticlesIt is a sure sign of the fall that we so egregiously miss what we lost. Jesus calls us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness precisely because our priorities are all out of line. Even that for which we long -- to get back to the garden -- we long for in the wrong way. Eden, to be sure, was Edenic. It was a garden paradise. There were no weeds crowding their way in there. No bugs buzzed in ears, nor did they sting arms and legs. Adam and Eve had no need to fear that prowling lions would consume humble lambs or that cyclones would tear up their garden by the roots.

The Prevailing Church (pt. 1)
from Simon Kistemaker Dec 24, 2008 Category: ArticlesThere are churches that are named after places and people, but they can never claim origin or ownership, because Christ owns the church. Actually, Jesus told Simon Peter: "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church" (Matt. 16:18; see also 18:17). The Greek word for church is ekklesia, which means being called out of this world of humanity to form a body of believers that belongs exclusively to Jesus. This is not to say that there is no continuity with God's people of the Old Testament era. Of course there is. It is better to say that the church consists of a new company of believers guided by the message of both prophets and apostles. In other words, these believers find their origin in both the Old and New Testaments. There is a golden thread that is woven throughout the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation with this divine message: "I will be your God and you shall be my people." Keep Reading
Dreams of Paradise
from Robert Field Dec 22, 2008 Category: ArticlesHawaii has often been advertised as one of those classic dreams of paradise. When streets on the mainland clog with snow and temperatures plummet far below zero, thoughts are enticed by Hawaii's warm tropical waves lapping upon beaches saturated with sun. Clouds drift by on perfumed trade winds. Cares melt away. The mind is filled with peace as you walk down a sandy shoreline. Ah, paradise found! At least, that's what we believe we have discovered in those winter daydreams. Here is the eternal quest of man. He tries to find a quiet sanctuary that would bring him peace. Yet even in Hawaii, such a goal in the material world is impossible to find. Keep Reading
The Mystery of Preaching

No human wisdom, no school of philosophy, no secular salesman, no TV commercial speaker selling his CDs is ever going to come up with this on his own. Keep Reading

Weld.com: When did you know you wanted to be a welder?
@rollingbombfab: I never really put much thought into becoming a welder until a representative from a welding school came to our high school. It sounded good since the little experience I had with welding I enjoyed.
Weld.com: Do you have any formal training in welding or fabrication?
Weld.com: What type of work do you do in your day to day activities?
@rollingbombfab: I'm mostly an aluminum MIG and TIG guy. Some stainless MIG and TIG and steel hard wire.
Weld.com: What's the best and worst part about your job?
@rollingbombfab: The best part of my job is being in the town I grew up in close to home working in a small shop environment with a bunch of guys you get to know like family. Sleeping in my own bed every night is a great thing to me. The worst part is you're not gonna get rich working in a job shop, but you can be comfortable so it's hard for me to really say that's a downside.
Weld.com: What advice do you have for high school students or anyone looking to enter into a welding career?

How to: Register a Service Principal Name (SPN) for a Report Server
If you are deploying Reporting Services in a network that uses the Kerberos protocol for mutual authentication, you must create a Service Principal Name (SPN) for the Report Server service if you configure it to run as a domain user account. Additionally, when you configure a domain user as the service account, the report server must be configured to use NTLM authentication.
About SPNs
An SPN is a unique identifier for a service on a network that uses Kerberos authentication. It consists of a service class, a host name, and a port. On a network that uses Kerberos authentication, an SPN for the server must be registered under either a built-in computer account (such as NetworkService or LocalSystem) or user account. SPNs are registered for built-in accounts automatically. However, when you run a service under a domain user account, you must manually register the SPN for the account you want to use.
To create an SPN, you can use the SetSPN command line utility. For more information, see Setspn Overview on the Microsoft Windows Server TechCenter.
You must be a domain administrator to run the utility on the domain controller.
The command syntax for using SetSPN utility to create an SPN for the report server resembles the following:
Setspn -a http/<computername>.<domainname>:<port> <domain-user-account>
SetSPN is available with Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 support tool pack, which you must download separately. The -a argument is used to register a service principal name with a particular account.
HTTP is the service class. The Report Server Web service runs in HTTP.SYS. A by-product of creating an SPN for HTTP is that all Web applications on the same computer that run in HTTP.SYS (including applications hosted in IIS) will be granted tickets based on the domain user account. If those services run under a different account, the authentication requests will fail. To avoid this problem, be sure to configure all HTTP applications to run under the same account, or consider creating host headers for each application and then creating separate SPNs for each host header. When you configure host headers, DNS changes are required regardless of the Reporting Services configuration.
The values that you specify for <computername>, <domainname>, and <port> identify the unique network address of the computer that hosts the report server. This can be a local host name or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If you only have one domain and are using port 80, you can omit <domainname> and <port> from your command line. <domain-user-account> is the user account under which the Report Server service runs and for which the SPN must be registered.
NOTE: if you are using Internet Explorer and Kerberos authentication it is recommended you do not specify the port as part of the command line. For more information, see Internet Explorer cannot use the Kerberos authentication protocol to connect to a Web site.
Register an SPN for Domain User Account
To register an SPN for a Report Server service running as a domain user
Install Reporting Services and configure the Report Server service to run as a domain user account. Note that users will not be able to connect to the report server until you complete the following steps.
Download and install Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 Support Tools from the Download Center.
Log on to the domain controller as domain administrator.
Open a Command Prompt window.
Copy the following command, replacing placeholder values with actual values that are valid for your network:
Setspn -a http/<computer-name>.<domain-name>:<port> <domain-user-account>
Run the command.
Open the RsReportServer.config file and locate the <AuthenticationTypes> section. Add <RSWindowsNegotiate/> as the first entry in this section to enable NTLM.

Newark Mayor takes on Child Poverty
New Jersey U.S. Senate candidate Cory Booker will outline a plan Monday that he believes will help eradicate childhood poverty.
The Democrat says it's an economic issue that keeps the U.S. from being competitive.
Booker says the federal minimum wage needs to be raised to $10.10 per hour.
The Newark mayor wants to guarantee universal access to preschool starting at age 3 by 2025.
In order to send every child to college, Booker's plan calls for starting college savings accounts for the children of working-class people who have earned income tax credits.
The plan would match at-risk pregnant women with a nurse practitioner to ensure quality pre-natal care.
Booker is seeking his party's nomination to run for the seat left vacant by the death of Frank Lautenberg.

Toxic mold. Big, black stains on the surface of your walls, your celling or even your floors. That's what it looks like, but the truth is that if you can see it, it's probably already too late to do anything.
Mold, and especially, toxic mold grows and develops underneath your paint. Even under the plaster that covers your walls, so in most cases you can't even see it.
How do you spot it then?
There was a case of a family in Virginia that spent nearly $1,000,000 for their new home, and a few months after they moved in, they started feeling dizzy, their younger daughter had frequent nosebleeds and the mother developed very severe head aches.
She said she felt so bad that she thought she's suffered from brain tumor. Can you imagine waking up each day with a headache? No wonder she felt sick. After she went in to see a doc, she was told that there is a whole lot of poison in her and they probably had to detox her. Terrible story.
That company is now trying to get almost five million dollars in compensation from the construction company, but that's a totally different story.
What's important to you in that story is the symptoms that the family experienced. If you're starting to suddenly feel discomfort or nausea, if your nose bleeds randomly and you feel tired all the time, if you or your family members have developed asthma, chances are that you're living in a home infected by toxic mold.
How does it develop?
As all mold, toxic mold needs a specific environment in order to develop. Mold usually grows in moist, warm and dark places, so inside your walls is just perfect for it. Generally speaking what you learnt at school about mold, is true about toxic mold as well, so try to remember as much as you can… just joking! I am trying to cover the most important info here and remember you can always ask professor Google a question.
The mold in the house of the Virginian family I mentioned before was developed because the constructors did not wait for the timber to dry after it rained and instead they just decided to continue building on wet timber. Of course that timber started growing mold that turned out to be harmful for the family.
How do you make sure this does not happen to you?
There are companies out there that will test your house for mold for a few hundred bucks which is definitely worth it you want to make sure you're safe.
Toxic mold can be a serious issue and dealing with it can be a challenge, but if you make sure that you take all the necessary precautions, you'll be fine and dandy.

Actor James Franco stripped down yesterday on the set of his new gay adult film biopic King Cobra, and things got steamy.
Franco's production company is producing the film, which is based on the 2007 murder of gay adult film maven Bryan Kocis. He appeared on Instagram next to actor Keegan Allen, clad only in a pair of skimpy underwear.
Disney Star Garrett Clayton (below left) will also appear in the movie, playing adult film star Brent Corrigan (below right).
The crime at the center of the film happened in 2007 when Harlow Raymond Cuadra (below left), and Joseph Manuel Kerekes (below right) murdered Kocis, owner of Cobra Video.
They tried to lure Corrigan away from Kocis, police say.
Christian Slater will play Kocis alongside actress Molly Ringwald.

Michael J. Marks Distinguished Professorship in Business Law establishedUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Margot Schrire, (808) 956-6774
Director of Communications, University of Hawaii Foundation
Director of Communications, University of Hawaii Foundation
Posted: Jan 5, 2011
HONOLULU - Thanks to the generosity of The Michael J. Marks Foundation; The Cades Foundation; Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; and Mr. and Mrs. Daniel E. Stoller, a fund has been established to support a new proposed professorship, the Michael J. Marks Distinguished Professorship in Business Law at the William S. Richardson School of Law. This professorship will honor Marks who died on October 5, 2010 in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. He moved to Colorado after retiring in 2003 as vice president and general counsel of Alexander & Baldwin (A&B).
"Michael J. Marks was a true friend of the William S. Richardson School of Law," said UH Mānoa Chancellor Virginia S. Hinshaw. "This professorship will fittingly honor his memory by helping prepare our law students for excellence in their service to our community."
According to A&B, at the time of his retirement Marks was the longest serving general counsel among Hawai'i's publicly traded corporations. He was a prominent lawyer and business man and his 39-year legal career included 28 years with A&B and many years in private practice in Honolulu and New York.
"We hugely appreciate all that Michael Marks accomplished during his lifetime, and it is a wonderful tribute to him that his former colleagues and friends have joined in such a fitting way to honor his memory," said Aviam Soifer, dean of the William S. Richardson School of Law. "This professorship underscores the law school's emphasis on keeping up with the latest insights and trends in business law."
Gunner Schull, a director of The Michael J. Marks Foundation and The Cades Foundation, remembers Mark's enthusiasm as a gourmet and his droll sense of humor. "A lifelong hobby, which began as a joke over Michael's ample girth, resulted in Michael's collection of more than 2,000 hippopotamuses from around the world in every conceivable medium, including wood, precious metal, papier mache, ceramic and paintings."
Marks served on the boards of the Hawaii Opera, Honolulu Aquarium, Honolulu Zoological Society, the Arts Council of Hawaii and the Governor's Council on the Ocean Center. He also served as a lecturer in law for a number of years at the College of Business Administration (currently the Shidler College of Business) and twice the students voted him Professor of the Year.
To find out how you can support the William S. Richardson School of Law, please contact Mangmang Brown at (808) 956-6646 or firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also make a gift online at https://www.uhfoundation.org/GiveToWSRSL.
The University of Hawai`i at Mānoa serves approximately 20,000 students pursuing more than 225 different degrees. Coming from every Hawaiian island, every state in the nation, and more than 100 countries, UH Mānoa students matriculate in an enriching environment for the global exchange of ideas. For more information, visit http://manoa.hawaii.edu.

British Columbia's Beautiful Duffey Lake Loop
The author?s 2009 BMW F 650 GS parked alongside the Bridge River Road – a gravel alternative to the paved Duffey Lake Road – near the historic gold-rush town of Lillooet. Photos by the author.
If I could only make one ride in British Columbia, the Duffey Lake loop would be it. No other route boasts such diversity: a fjord walled by granite mountains, temperate rainforests and flowing glaciers, merging into a dry, semi-arid landscape of sagebrush and ponderosa pine, all on the doorstep of one of the world?s most beautiful cities, Vancouver. I am not getting paid nearly enough to tell you about this gem, but journalists are their own worst enemies when it comes to holding back on a good thing.
Duffey Lake refers to the landmark close to midpoint on a loop tour that can be completed in about 10 hours at a steady pace, but is best done over two to three days, stopping to enjoy the scenery and locals, visit a winery and perhaps camp under a clear canopy of stars. The journey begins just northwest of Vancouver on Highway 99 – the Sea to Sky Highway – at postcard-perfect Horseshoe Bay, and continues northward alongside the sparkling fjord of Howe Sound lined by the Coast Mountains.
A map of the route taken, by Bill Tipton/compartmaps.com.
The highway was significantly upgraded for the 2010 Winter Olympics, and allows motorcyclists to zip along at a comfortable clip, watchful for police radar at the village of Lions Bay. Along the way, consider stopping to gawk at Shannon Falls, hopping on the Sea To Sky Gondola with its spectacular views or watching mountain climbers on the sheer granite walls of the famous Stawamus Chief.
Just ahead is the former logging town of Squamish, now a mecca for outdoor recreation, including kiteboarding at Squamish Spit. Café racers tend to gather at Starbucks, and cruisers at Howe Sound Brewing or Backcountry Brewing, the latter known for its amazing thin-crust pizza.
The fjord of Howe Sound offers amazing scenery north of Vancouver on the Sea to Sky Highway.
Road signs warn of black bears as you continue northward to North America?s top-rated ski resort, Whistler. This perfect little village makes for a great first night?s stay, with strolls through shops in the shadow of towering snow-topped peaks, but don?t expect heavy discounts in summer.
From Whistler, Highway 99 heads to the potato-growing Pemberton Valley, and your last chance for gas for about 60 miles as you proceed eastward through the aboriginal community of Lil?wat at Mount Currie. If you arrive in May you can even catch the community?s annual rodeo.
The historic gold-rush town of Lillooet is located midway along the Duffey Lake loop tour.
As you pass Lillooet Lake, the two-lane highway begins a steep, switchback ascent into high-elevation wilderness without a hint of commercialism. The road plateaus shortly after Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, a great spot for hikes to a series of lakes, backdropped by...

Way back in the mists of time we took a look at the 09 version of this pump. Now we have the new, updated version to play with. Question is, have Lezyne improved it?
Well, yes they have. The main criticism that we had was that the valve was a cheap and faffy plastic arrangement which let down the rest of the package. Since then Lezyne have replaced the valve with a double ended Flip-Thread chuck made from alloy. You have to unscrew the chuck to select the correct end and then screw the chuck onto your tyre valve. It's a world away from the neat and simple smart-head arrangements that come as standard on more up to date pumps. That said, this is a proper workshop tool, not something that you'll be using with frozen fingers half way round a winter training ride so these are niggles, not serious criticisms. Besides, the screw-on chuck gives a very clean and secure attachment to the tyre which takes away the risk of snapping a delicate Presta valve. Despite the apparent awkwardness I really liked it.
Otherwise this is a fairly basic pump. It's got great retro-tastic looks but you don't get any of the niceties, like bleed valves or target indicators on the gauge. The shaft and foot feel sturdy, the gauge is clear and accurate and you get a nice long hose which loops over the handle in storage and keeps the whole thing tidy.
Stylish and effective but pretty basic for the price. Updated alloy chuck is a big improvement over the old plastic version.

Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
They don't say, but the Lezyne website does feature a spread from Esquire magazine entitled "Things A Man Should Own". Guess what? If you want to be a man then you'll be needing one of these.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Say Lezyne:-
# Aluminum foot; steel piston and barrel
# Varnished wood handle
# 47"/120cm extra-long, premium-grade hose
# Alloy Flip-Thread chuck threads securely to both Presta and Schrader valves
# Flip-Thread chuck and hose threads securely to foot when not in use
# Long travel piston with reduced barrel diameter lowers required pumping effort
# Oversized 2.5" diameter gauge assembly, 160psi max
Feels sturdy enough, but slightly rattly at the top of the stroke and it wheezes like an asthmatic horse.
Not bad at all. I got a 25c tyre up to 100psi in just over 20 strokes with no real effort.
There's nothing fragile or delicate about this pump. Should last for ages.
Nice handle.
Given the features that it doesn't have it feels a tad expensive for what it is.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Pretty good and I do like the screw-on chuck.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Screw-on chuck feels pleasingly secure.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Lacking in features for the price and there's a niggling sense that this is a lifestyle accessory as much as a pump.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Maybe - but I wouldn't swap it for my regular Joe Blow Sprint
Would you recommend the product to a friend? I wouldn't put them off if they said they were buying one
Anything further to say about the product in conclusion?
Plenty of style and just enough substance.

'Ridiculously Photogenic Jiu Jitsu Guy' Attacks the Camera
This man is the definition of keeping cool under pressure.
Clark Gracie, a 28-year-old Jiu Jitsu instructor from San Diego, is the latest "ridiculously photogenic" viral sensation to take the Internet by storm.
Gracie's photo, taken about a year ago at a Jui Jitsu tournament in New York, captures the handsome athlete in mid-martial arts move, looking almost alarmingly attractive.
"I'm attacking his shoulder in a shoulder lock," Gracie explained today on "Good Morning America."
"You're attacking the camera," Lara Spencer joked.
Despite his opponent trying to shake him off, Gracie won this particular fight and took second in the tournament.
"I try to stay pretty relaxed and not get over heated during the tournament," he said. "Keep my cool so I can act and perform the best I can."
As a first degree black belt and head instructor at Clark Gracie Jiu Jitsu Acadamy, his skills are actually inherited. He's the grandson of Carlos Gracie, creator of what is known today as the "Gracie Jiu Jitsu" or "Brazilian Jiu Jitsu."
Gracie's Jiu Jitsu students brought the ridiculously photogenic picture to his attention, which now has entire website of memes devoted to it with captions like "Doesn't need a triangle choke… To take your breath away," and "Locks up your arm… And your heart."
But Gracie isn't the first ridiculously photogenic person we've fallen in love with. Zeddie Little started the trend after a spectator snapped his photo while he was running the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston, S.C., looking as if he had stepped right out of a magazine.
Then the world also fell head over heels for Rachel, who was nicknamed "ridiculously photogenic surgery girl" after posting photos from her hospital bed on Reddit.

April 16 marks the anniversary of the death of Pakistani rug-slave-turned-activist Iqbal Massih who championed work against child labor and inspired the work of GoodWeave, a market-based solution to child labor in South Asia's textile industry. The GoodWeave label on rugs assures consumers that no children were employed in its making and that the product was certified by GoodWeave's rigorous licensing process.
GoodWeave-certified producers comply with an extensive certification standard and undergo monitoring of their facilities. Importers of GoodWeave textiles pay a small royalty fee that GoodWeave and partner organizations use to educate and rehabilitate former child weavers. Below, Dowser talks with GoodWeave executive director Nina Smith about the organization's holistic approach and how it seeks to honor Iqbal's memory.
Dowser: What role did Iqbal's story have in inspiring you to work against child labor?
Smith: I had a background in international news media and early on in that career took an extensive trip through Latin America, where I had some personal experiences with low income indigenous women weavers who were desperate to sell their work. A light bulb went off for me that something was wrong with the system if people like me might pay far less to someone than it should really cost for them to be paid fairly. That led me into thinking about a business to link producers of goods to the end users who buy them, and to try to tell the stories of people who make products to consumers to help them make equitable choices. At that point in the early 1990s the fair trade movement was just getting started, and I got involved with them. I was offered a job to work in India with Tibetan refugee producers in India making crafts. After about a year there I came back and got further involved with the fair trade organization to figure out what my role could best be.
I read the story of Iqbal in a Vanity Fair article in 1994 right after his murder and we were just getting launched under the name of Rugmark, and it reminded me that there are serious labor rights and human rights abuses in supply chains. I thought the model being developed here was really perfect because it's working against a focused issue (child labor) in a focused marketplace (carpets and textiles) with consumers you can easily communicate with.

How has GoodWeave evolved as an organization?
Our recent re-brand is a physical manifestation of our evolution toward a holistic antipoverty model. In the early days no one was doing what we did and we were developing and improving a model, but as time went on we could work more on bringing transparency and rigor to the work on the ground we do, and how to make this work owned by all stakeholders. We couldn't just work on child labor in a void – it's so intertwined with other labor issues so forced labor, wage issues, health and safety issues, and even environmental issues. We've developed a new certification standard that looks at six other issues beyond and intertwined with child labor.
What do you think are the primary drivers of child labor common in the areas where you work? Which of those drivers can GoodWeave work against and which are more difficult to change?
Many issues are intertwined and changing within child labor and we have to – and do - work with all of them. The key drivers are poverty – because parents can't afford to put food on the table or educate children they do things out of desperation, like taking a loan against their child –, lack of access to education, and political unrest and the bigger issues it drives. The global economy effects labor in so many ways. Right now in Nepal people are so desperate for sustaining jobs that make workers are going overseas to the Middle East and Nepal itself is actually lacking in skilled weavers, which makes them more likely to take on children. Consumers in the United States are buying cheaper products and countries that have always produced higher end products are losing market share. The key thing that we do is we decidedly remove demand for products made by child labor, and issues can be solved when we remove demand.
How does changing consumer demand alter labor conditions?
In many ways. A company may stop buying rugs unless they are child-labor free. Consumers drive their demands for fair labor practices back onto the market. The more we can license companies into our system, the more certified products there are to sell, and the more funds we can generate for our rescuing and education programs for former child workers which streamline children into local school initiatives and ideally deter them from the sector.
What do you mean when you say you rescue a child from child labor?
When a company licenses the GoodWeave certification they agree to operate under our random inspections – three strikes against them and they lose the certification. Most of the children we rescue are identified when a company first joins us. When child labor is found in any of our locations the children are removed and provided with opportunities and choices so that they can go right into rehabilitation programs which are run by local partner NGOs.
I understand that child labor in the handmade rug industry is down 75% since you began your work. What are your metrics for GoodWeave's success and how have you measured them thus far?
First we measure success in the marketplace by the uptake of our certification in the business community. 15-20% market share of the total industry would mean success to us, and we're measuring our market growth year to year. We also look at the kind of actors that are adopting us. It used to be smaller high end rug companies but it's changing. We're launching publicly at Macy's in a few months, which feels like a huge success for us.
Do the changes in your partner companies reflect your goals and reflect an interest in this kind of certification?
The initial companies to sign on with us were those predisposed to social responsibility, and we did feel that going for companies at the high end of the market was very important because it was the products people saw as the highest quality. Over time we've watched larger, more complicated companies sign up. Those take longer and need a stronger business case to come on board. We've gotten to the point where we can demonstrate a clear business case for GoodWeave and show evidence that it helps sales and at minimum it doesn't hurt. We're moving into a space where we're getting companies that are motivated much more purely for business reasons; for risk mitigation factors, because all their competitors are doing it, or because consumers actively want it.
What are the biggest obstacles you face in your work and how do you work to overcome them?
We want to grow but a scaling plan always needs to be focused on insuring integrity and quality. We're about to receive some funds to go into Afghanistan, which is an important rug-producing country that could use the work that we do. This will be a real value-add for the products coming from Afghanistan. Still, working there is going to be a challenge to keep it to the same standard as other places where we work.
There are still a lot of big players out there in the textile industry that aren't getting involved in this work, and if they did it would make it a lot easier. One other challenge is that there's so much need in the communities that we work in that we can't fulfill. We think that if we can shift the demand to child-labor-free products we can eventually change individual lives, but at the same time we're working one-on-one with children in tough situations who are aging out of our system. We're looking to partner and improve on how we can help them move on to college or the next thing.
What does remembering Iqbal on April 16th mean to you?
Iqbal's story moved me to the point of wanting to work on this and prevent other children from being in bondage as child labor. He escaped child labor and started becoming an activist for other children still on the looms. He won the Reebok human rights award in the early 1990s and [was] murdered for his activism when he returned to Pakistan. He's a true martyr for this cause. Telling his story reconnects me emotionally to this cause and helps me remind other people why this work that we do is so important. There are about 250,000 children working today the way that Iqbal did. Faces and stories and names are what really connect people to issues, and remembering Iqbal reminds me why I do what I do.

It is your special day and you want the pictures to be spectacular. A few basic mistakes, however, will stand in the way of stellar results. Planning your wedding is connected to a lot of hard work and even a bit of chaos. Still, you should dedicate some time to wedding photography planning. That is the best way to avoid a couple of common mistakes.
1. Choosing an Inexperienced Photographer
Take your time to explore the work of the wedding photographers that you are interested in working with. These professionals should have enough experience to handle the photo session regardless of the circumstances.
Some brides commit the mistake of choosing a photographer that has little experience in wedding photography. This genre has its specifics. Picking a professional that specialises in the field will reduce the risk of disappointment.
2. Failing to Communicate Your Style and Theme Idea
Interested in reportage wedding photography? Want to get a black and white wedding album? Make sure that you have communicated these ideas with your wedding photographer.
Talk about all the details of the photo shoot. The photographer cannot guess what you are looking forward to, unless you are highly specific in your requirements.
The portfolio of a wedding photographer will help you figure out whether the professional has experience in the style that you want for your album. Reportage wedding photography is very different from abstract wedding shoots. A professional that executes one of the varieties spectacularly may do a poor job in another style.
3. Rushing though the Shots
You want to get as many photos as possible. This may be a reason for rushing through the shoot and jumping from one phase to another. The result will be lacklustre if you do not dedicate enough time to making the pictures happen.
An experienced wedding photographer will guide you through the process and make sure that the quality is high enough. In addition, this professional will take enough pictures to create a beautiful album. When in doubt, talk to your photographer. Working together on the photo shoot will give you precisely what you are hoping for.
4. No Backup Plan
Planning the perfect outdoor, beach wedding? Hopefully, the weather will be warm and the sky will remain clear throughout the ceremony. You could, however, experience wedding day surprises. This is why you should have a wedding photo shoot backup plan.
The best photographers are ready to complete the shoot in all kinds of conditions. They have all of the necessary equipment and accessories to guarantee the quality of the outcome. It is mandatory to talk in advance and come up with a backup plan.
Most wedding photography mistakes stem from poor communication. Choose a photographer that you can easily talk to and that understands all of your ideas. Spend more time on the research and the preliminary conversation. The more you do in advance, the easier it is going to be to enjoy your wedding day and the pictures you will get after.
Richard Galloway is an award-winning professional photographer and considered one of the best reportage wedding photographers in Surrey. Creating story-telling photographs since 2007, he specialises in documentary (reportage) wedding photography.

Our friend, Ottawa photographer Blair Gable, is a member of CanvasPop's Pro community and shares his insights and behind-the-scenes thoughts right here on our blog. Here are some of Blair's tips on using remote cameras.
Sometimes photographers need to be able to take photos from places they are not allowed to be in person. This is where remote cameras come in. With the right equipment, a photographer can rig-up a camera just about anywhere and trigger it from far distances. For the majority of my purposes I use remote cameras to photograph an alternate angle during … Read more
