They say that wrestlers are fearless; that it takes sheer guts to put their bodies on the line, night-in and night-out like they do. This braveness has been put to the test numerous times, be it in the arena in death-defying matches or outside the ropes on shows like Fear Factor.
Few wrestlers, or anyone for that matter, would put their bodies to one of mankind's most chilling torture tests -- the Polar Bear Plunge. After all, voluntarily submerging yourself in an icy water body in well sub-zero temperatures isn't for even the most bravehearted of souls.
That's what makes Nora Greenwald stand out from her peers. Nora, perhaps better known to the wrestling community as Molly Holly, will take the leap this Saturday, as she will take a dive into Minnesota's White Bear Lake.
The inspiration for this jump is Special Olympics Minnesota, a charitable organization that Greenwald has been a part of dating back to her days in the ring.
"A good number of Special Olympians have always been our (WWE) most dedicated wrestling fans, and I have become a fan of theirs," Greenwald told SLAM! Wrestling in an email interview.
Through online and other donations, Greenwald has already exceeded her goal of $1,500, raising $2,025 as of January 27. And while there are many ways that Greenwald could have raised this significant sum, she was inspired to do the jump after doing a bit of research.
"I had heard of the Polar Bear Plunge, but I always thought those people were crazy," she admitted. "Then I read the book The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom and I realized I live a life of comfort, so why not be uncomfortable for a good cause."
So does she have any special plans, then, for her jump, you ask?
"I did...spend some time putting a costume together. I will be 'Supergirl'," Greenwald revealed. "Hmmm, I guess kind of like a Mighty Molly ;-)."
During her WWE career, Greenwald was highly praised by fans and the wrestling media as being a top worker during a boom era where women such as herself, Victoria, Lita, and Trish Stratus gave fans spectacular matches; and though she does not follow WWE or TNA today on a consistent basis, Greenwald comments that today's women have picked up the torch left by her and her fellow alumnae.
"I actually do not have a TV, but I did go to a RAW houseshow in Rochester, Minn. Beth Phoenix and Melina were amazing," Greenwald said. "They have taken women's wresting to the next level."
Today, Greenwald continues to make occasional wrestling-related appearances, but, even though she has had the opportunity to return full-time to the circle, she has stayed away from returning to life on the road, preferring instead to focus on her career working with organizations dedicated to helping kids.
"I have actually had a few offers for a few different things," Greenwald said. "I like doing one-shot cameos, but I think my full-time life on the road will remain in the past. I love working as a bus-aide on a special needs bus for the school district, and working in addiction recovery at Teen Challenge."

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – 13 Jul, 2017 – Conservis Corporation, the leading provider of Enterprise Ag Management Solutions, announced today a technology licensing and integration partnership with industry-leading Crop Data Management Systems (CDMS), the leading provider of standardized crop protection, fertilizer and seed databases including labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and other documents for agriculture. The initial phase of the integration provides growers easy access to standardized agricultural information allowing for traceability of product usage throughout the production cycle.
As leaders in their own respective categories, both companies look to add value for growers by providing tools to optimize their operations. Integrating the Conservis on-farm data set of plans, budgets, critical on-the-ground production activities, and inventory and harvest data with CDMS's comprehensive, standardized reference database creates a powerful data stack for a grower. It provides growers a standard terminology for all crop inputs used in their operation that can improve the accuracy of purchasing, inventory and reporting activities and eliminate time spent on set-up and reporting. This integration is also a key factor in improving traceability for growers, giving them the ability to verify the chain of custody and application of a specific product on the farm with date, time and weather conditions data attached.
"Partnering with CDMS is a natural fit for our company. By partnering with a standardized chemical database, our customers now can be assured that their setup data is the industry standard," states Michael Borman, Senior Vice President Product and Marketing of Conservis. "We're continuing to integrate with partners that, as a collective unit, provide more value to our customers than individual, disparate systems. From inputs management, to machines, to financials and risk management, connecting all the pieces of the farm is a key part of our mission."
"As growers continue to invest in their complex operations, they will push for the integration of various management systems," says Scott Mueller, Senior Vice President at CDMS. "This partnership with Conservis provides growers access to the most powerful and accurate standardized data platform in the industry. We are excited to partner with Conservis and continue to expand capabilities for growers."

Ah yes, just when you thought the world was waking up to pollution issues, another disposable, one-charge battery plonks on your desk.
Juicebars are emergency mobile phone chargers that work by giving you a one-off charge. You cannot recharge a Juicebar.
Like one of those fruit juice sachets, the batteries are flat-packed and in the place of a straw is a charged coupling. There isn't a Juicebar for iPhones yet, but Nokia, Samsung and Sony are covered – a list is on the website.
Charge it, bin it
Our Samsung model of Juicebar worked fine. It did the job, charging the phone from dead to full in around the time our socket plug takes to do the same job. You feel like a Luddite dumping the spent sachet into a bin, though.
Our Samsung phone has a standby time that lasts nearly a week, and for a long journey we either pack a charger or a spare battery. Unless it's a real emergency, we wouldn't use it.

Symmetric keys in SQL Server are recommended for encrypting data in columns. They are a good balance of security and resource usage, much better than asymmetric keys. Creating a symmetric key is fairly simple, using DDL that's easy to understand.
One note before I show this is that symmetric keys are deterministic when created, meaning that the same parameters run in different databases will result in the same key. That means that the same key in a different database (or instance) can decrypt data that was encrypted in your production instance. Keep control of the parameters used to create symmetric keys and secure them. That means watch out for storage of these items in source control, in installation files, upgrade scripts, etc.
Creating a Key
The creation DDL used is the CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY statement. This command has a number of parameters that you can change. The important ones for most people are:
- the algorithm
- the encryption mechanism
- the key source
- the identity value
You should try to use the most secure algorithm you can, which is AES_256 in SQL Server 2012. It's the same back to SQL Server 2005. You should avoid the RC4 algorithms, since they are not terribly secure. Even the DES ones you might avoid, but do some research to understand if you have a need to use anything less than AES_256.
The encryption mechanism provides protection for the key. You can use a password (secure it) or you can use another key. The common way to secure the symmetric key is with an asymmetric key (or a certificate). However if you have the option to use a hardware module with the extensible key management (EKM) system, use that. You can use multiple encryption mechanisms if needed, which might be useful for separating the access to this key for different users.
The key source provides a way to seed the key. This is a parameter you need to regenerate the key.
The identity value is optional, but provides more a passphrase to tag a key. Useful for temporary keys.
To actually build a key, let's create one here using a few parameters, and securing it with a password:
-- create a symmetric key create symmetric key MySalaryProtector WITH ALGORITHM=AES_256 , IDENTITY_VALUE = 'Salary Protection Key' , Key_SOURCE = N'Keep this phrase a secr#t' ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'Us#aStrongP2ssword'; go
That's it, once you have executed this, you have created a key. You can see your symmetric keys by querying sys.symmetric_keys
SELECT * FROM sys.symmetric_keys
That's all you need to do. There's not backup or restore of a key; if you need to recreate it, supply the same parameters and you'll get the same key. The keys are stored in the backup of a database, so if you restore from backup, you'll have them back as well.
In another post, I'll look at actually encrypting data with a key.

Twinkling lights on park trees and glass balls hung in shop windows, little by little it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in New York City! I know some people can be a bit Grinch-y about the commercialism of the holiday season, but it's hard to resist the special feeling of Christmas in the city. It's contagious!
Inspired by this burgeoning holiday cheer, we're starting to feather our holiday nests with these lovely felt ornaments. Laura designed an elegant 3-dimensional Felt Stars that will look equally beautiful hung from a doorway or perched atop a tree. And Molly designed a set of graceful Felt Snow Ball Ornaments that will add a playful Christmas feeling to your tree or mantle.
Felt is our favorite ornament-making material because it's soft, natural, and so easy. Ecru is especially lovely because it's peaceful, classic, and reminiscent of a fresh blanket of snow. And to add a little holiday sparkle we accented our ornaments with the beautiful new DMC metallic thread.
ps. The how-to's for Laura's Felt Star Pendant and Tree Topper are right here. And merry Christmas!
To make an assortment of 1 1/2-inch and 2 1/2-inch ball ornaments. You can make 6 large ornaments, or 12 small ornaments, or an assortment of 4 small and 3 large ornaments:
- 1 18-inch square of 100% wool felt in ecru
- Silver Metallic DMC Embroidery Floss
- 100% cotton thread in color 1140
- A Snow Ball Ornament template available for free download here, printed and cut out.
The small and large ornaments are made in the exact same manner.
Cut eight small or large templates neatly from the ecru felt.
Press each of the cut circles in half, making a neat crease down their centers.
Start with two of the folded pieces with their folded sides facing one another.
Thread a 24-inch length of the cotton thread and tie a knot at the end. Starting at the outside of the top of the fold of one of your circular pieces pull the needle through to the inside of the fold. This will insure that the knot is on the inside of the ornament.
Then begin sewing the two pieces together along their crease lines with a small running stitch. The center meridian in the picture above, where the two folded edges meet, will be referred to as the center channel from here on out.
Make sure your needle is entering and exiting exactly on the fold mark of both pieces.
Sew across the entire fold mark. Do not cut your thread or tie a knot at the end.
Next fold the sew pieces closed and place two more pieces on top of them, opposite from one another with their creased center markings each lined up with the center channel.
Sew these two new pieces together along their center fold lines in the same manner. Try to sew through the center channel not catching the folded edges of the first two pieces. (If you catch a little of the edges it's no big deal.)
Sew to the end of the folded creases but do not cut your thread.
Arrange the ornament with all the circles folded closed with two folded circles on each side and the center channel in the center. Place two more circles opposite one another with their creases lining up with the center channel.
Sew these two pieces together through the center channel.
Repeat this process for the final two creased circles, sewing them on opposite to one another through the center channel.
Fluff out your 16-petaled snow ball like so.
Cut an 18-inch length of the silver embroidery thread and separate it into two pieces of three strands each. Thread an embroidery needle with one of these pieces and tie a knot on the end. (You can use the left over piece for the next ornament.)
Insert your needle into the center channel in-between two of the piece's folds.
Pull the needle through to the top of the ornament thus hiding the knot in the center channel as shown above. You'll still be able to see the knot a little but it won't be noticeable once the ornament is done.
Sew a stitch along the top of one of the the center creases into the opposite center crease
Repeat this all the way around the top of your ornament, stitching across the top from one center crease to each opposite center crease.
Once you've gone all the way around pull your needle through the top silver stitches to create a 1 1/2-inch long loop.
Twist your working thread tightly around the bottom of the loop five times and then tie it in a small knot at the bottom of the twists.
Pull your needle through the very top of one of the creased circles and snip it off thus hiding the end.
Unfold all of the petals and arrange them so they are all relatively even and you're all done!

ANDREWS, Texas (AP) — The portion of a West Texas radioactive waste disposal site built to handle waste from U.S. Energy Department locations nationwide is set to open.
Waste from New Mexico's Los Alamos National Laboratory today will be the first low-level radioactive waste to be buried in the 90-acre federal dump on a site operated by Dallas-based Waste Control Specialists.
Company spokesman Chuck McDonald says the Los Alamos waste is derived from nuclear materials research and development stored at the laboratory for decades.
After a large wildfire lapped at the edges of lab property in summer 2011, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez identified removal of the waste as a top priority.
Low-level radioactive waste from non-Energy Department sources is buried in a smaller, separate site nearby.

Cocky vandals trim city bush to look like a penis
Some cocky vandals have aroused the attention of city officials with a not-so-subtle alteration to the riverfront sculpture garden.
Workers were quickly ordered into action this week after the city learned someone had trimmed a bush to look like a giant penis.
"The bush was in the sculpture garden, and somebody took it upon themselves to reshape the bush into something that they wanted to see," said John Miceli, the city's executive director of parks and facilities. "When somebody damages or vandalizes any city property, we take that very seriously. We address it as quickly as possible."
Miceli said it took the city half an hour, after hearing about the vandalism from CBC Windsor, to "reshape" the bush.
"We deployed staff immediately to address it," he said. "Somebody basically defaced public property and what we had to do was address it. It's not something that we would be promoting."
The offending phallic symbol was in the riverfront sculpture garden near the four tall pillars. It was among a group of other bushes, which the guerilla landscapers appear to have left untouched.
"It was just one of our normal bushes," said Miceli. "Somebody elected to reshape it into a phallic symbol."
The city didn't find it funny, and expects that many people walking along the river wouldn't either.
"We just would hope that people respect public property and not vandalize it," said Miceli. "Quite honestly it's a concern of the all the residents when people destroy public property."
"We believe that some people would find it offensive. Although we support public art, we didn't support the sculpting of that piece of art."
Despite that, he conceded that the culprits had a keen grasp on what they were doing.
"Whoever did the shaping was pretty proficient at shaping bushes."

Tigers bullpen thriving out west
ANAHEIM -- Maybe a trip to the West Coast was the remedy for what ailed the Tigers bullpen.
Since Al Alburquerque's two-run outing last Saturday, Tigers relievers had strung together 13 1/3 scoreless innings entering Friday's series opener against the Angels. They allowed seven runs and five walks in that stretch while racking up 15 strikeouts. They didn't an inherited runner to score in that stretch, but they didn't inherit any runners from the starters, either.
In all of those innings, the bullpen replaced the starter to begin an inning, not in the middle of one. For manager Jim Leyland, that's the difference in strong starting pitching allowing him to use his relievers the way he wants to, not because he has to.
"They've done a good job recently," Leyland said. "Both bullpens over in Seattle did a good job, I thought. [Anibal] Sanchez gave us innings. [Doug] Fister gave us innings. [Justin] Verlander obviously gave us innings. Scherzer gave us innings. That's when you're using your bullpen how you want to, when you're getting innings out of your starters."

The Patient and Telling Vocabulary of Apple CEO Tim Cook
Feb 14, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Apple CEO Tim Cook is growing on me.
His reputation comes from being an operational genius, a guy who could manage supply chains and factories around the world, and connect them with suppliers and distributors and all sorts of trucks, boats, planes and trains to get products into the hands of customers. He's been effective. Millions upon millions of iPhones, iPods, and iPads have moved thousands of miles to get into the hands of customers on launch days.
What about Tim Cook the leader? Since we can't peek into the halls of Cupertino and get a real day-to-day glimpse of Cook in action, we're left with four quarterly conference calls with financial analysts, and a few interviews here and there. The most recent was an interview at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, which Apple streamed live from its investor web pages.
What Does Tim Cook Really Say?
The guy doesn't pull out wild words. He uses small words and speaks in phrases. He repeats himself often. The words he chooses don't make anyone think that he's a particularly imaginative or creative guy -- at least not in a traditional sense. Not in a Steve Jobs sense. Yet Cook manages to exude skill, discipline, and -- most important -- joy.
It's a hard word to imagine when you connect it to Tim Cook. Thoughtful? Sure. Conscientious? You bet. Do a search online for Tim Cook photos and I doubt joy, or even delight, is a word that will come to your mind.
I believe, however, that he finds delight in his job and in his position at Apple. I think that's important. I think that's critical to Apple's health. Cook is becoming something far more than an operational genius. To get here with me, though, you'll have to read between the lines. You'll have to respect that Cook isn't going to reveal a new inexpensive iPhone with a big screen. The answers are in some of the phrases, words, and messages that actually mean something about the health and vision of Apple -- not the stock price, but the foundation of Apple.
Patience Patience Patience
I have a newfound respect for Cook's patience. I've been listening to analysts pose the same old questions again and again, and if these guys are supposed to be Apple experts, it saddens me to hear them ask the wrong questions.
Cook has patience and repeats his answers, but he's not a monotone guy. He doesn't try to dress up his personality beyond what he is, but he has inflection, and he's able to crack a dry joke now and again. An amazing metaphor? Not so much. A surprising word choice? Never. He does say, however, what surprises him. He connects his words to how he feels about something, and more importantly, he evokes the feelings and mission behind Apple.
It seems as if he speaks the truth. It seems like the guy does not lie. Steve Jobs? Well, we always wanted to hear what he had to say, what he was passionate about, but we were usually pretty sure some elements of the truth were being bent, whether he believed it or not.
Consider this: Cook walked into his position as one of the most beloved and feared CEOs in the industry was dying. Talk about intense focus, pressure and expectations.
Consider how Wall Street has beat up Apple stock lately based mostly on rumor and innuendo, despite Apple delivering an astounding financial quarter. Despite all this, Cook doesn't get defensive. He doesn't prop up his reputation by highlighting his achievements, and he rarely outright disses his competition -- especially not in a way designed to boost his ego.
If the guy happens to say the word "I," it often enough comes near the word "privilege," where he's expressing his thanks for having an opportunity to produce world-changing products.
Speaking of products, what else does Tim Cook not say? Even though he's talking to investors, who tend to have their own language and some twisted views of the world, he doesn't talk about being proud of producing "profitable" products. Apple isn't proud because the iPhone has a high profit margin. That is not a bragging point; it's just a point. I've heard more than a few CEOs and CFOs get all jazzed up about their profit margins, as if that is the measurement of their success.
This is not Apple. A great profit margin is always the result of what Apple cares about. It's a side effect of a broader vision.
No Depression-Era Mentality
Here's an example from the Goldman Sachs interview, in response to Apple's cash hoard:
"Apple doesn't have a Depression-era mentality. Apple makes bold and ambitious bets on products, and we're conservative financially."
The "Depression-era mentality" was a phrase repeated due to the interviewer's question, and the rest of this sentence speaks volumes about Apple: Apple will make bold and ambitious bets on products. Apple will find the next big thing. To get there, they won't spend money like crazy. Money is not the answer. It's a tool and a result. Nice. Personally, I wish I could replicate this notion in my own household.
Meanwhile, there's some brouhaha over Apple reducing its cash on hand and returning it to investors, and Cook addressed that as being important to Apple. Better yet, he was able to crack a dry joke: "Now, we do have some cash."
Then he pointed out that Apple is incredibly privileged to be in a position to return billions of dollars to its shareholders. Exactly. There are a lot of big tech companies that perform odd acrobatic moves and employ dark-suited ninjas to transform their balance sheets into something that looks like success. While it must be baffling to get hammered on this topic, Cook says Apple will be "deliberate and thoughtful" about reducing the level of cash.
In a similar vein, Cook was asked about a proxy lawsuit, which he dismissed as a silly sideshow. He said that Apple believes in it, but they aren't going to campaign for it. "You're not going to see a 'Yes on 2' sign in my front yard," he joked. More importantly, he said, "I believe it's the right thing for shareholders to have the right on this particular topic, I encourage others to vote for it, but it's not something we're going to spend cycles on."
Focus. I like that.
On Acquisitions
Apple buys a half-dozen or so smaller companies each year, but has not acquired anything large, despite having well over a $100 billion in cash to use. Why? Tim Cook's answer cuts to the heart of Apple: "We're disciplined and thoughtful and we don't feel pressure to just go out and acquire revenue."
Apple doesn't even try to "acquire revenue." This is amazing. So many companies look to acquisitions as part of their "growth strategy." Heck, I don't even think that Apple has a "growth strategy."
So what do Apple's strategies involve?
"We want to make great products, and that's what we're about. And so if a large company could help us do that even better, than that would be of interest. But again, deliberate, thoughtful is our mantra. The cash is not burning a hole in our pocket."
Products and Innovation
Everyone who watched Steve Jobs knew that he was insanely passionate about products. You could see it in his eyes. Cook's eyes are a little less revealing, and while his words are not the kinds of words that lead a company to war, they come back again and again to Apple's core values. These statements become infused in all of Apple's employees -- even the people working around the world in Apple's Retail Stores:
"Innovation is so deeply embedded in Apple's culture -- the boldness, the ambition, the belief that there aren't limits, the desire among our people to not just make good products but make the very best products in the world ... it's as strong as ever. It's deeply embedded, it's in the values, it's in the DNA of the company," Cook said. "And so I feel fantastic about it."
Customer + Experience
Two words that show up a lot with Apple: "customers" and their "experience."
Apple focuses on the customer experience. When Apple talks about this, it's clear that Apple doesn't see market share as a prize or a goal. Analysts keep looking at marketshare and implying that Apple should change its business, change its DNA, should create products to gain market share.
I don't think Apple looks at market share as a goal at all. Of domination? The Goldman Sachs interviewer asked about marketshare limits for Apple, one of the largest companies in the world. Cook said "limits" isn't in Apple's vocabulary. "In all seriousness, the people I work with don't view that there are limits, and it's because of that that Apple has been able to do so many things for so many years, and done things that people didn't know they ever wanted, and now can't live without. And so, we don't really think of the world as limits."
Along with the notion of more marketshare is the idea that Apple has to create a low-cost iPhone, and the interviewer asked about it. Cook said, "It's important to understand . . . our North Star is great products. When everyone comes to work every day and leaves work, they're thinking about that, front and center. We wouldn't do anything that we consider not a great product, it's just not in us to do it, it's not why we're on this Earth. There are other companies that do that -- that's just not who we are."
What's key here is that Cook aligns Apple's direction with the North Star, with a clear and unchanging direction. He invokes "us," that all Apple employees feel this way. And he likens it to something bigger, "why we're on this Earth." Coming from a CEO who doesn't seem to lie to tell investors what they want to hear, this is important stuff for Apple employees and those who seek to understand Apple.
Apple's Clear Purpose
To enhance the picture of that experience, Cook uses phrases like "fabulous experience" and "sweat every detail." He shifts back to repetition, noting that there's only one thing Apple won't do (at least on purpose) ,and that is to make a "crappy" product.
"We're going to make a great product -- that's the only religion that we have. We must do something great, something bold, something ambitious," Cook said. "We want the customer to be the center of it. We want to enrich people's lives."
This is the kind of language Cook uses. These are his word choices. That consumer-oriented vision leaks out in other ways, too. He said, "There are over 300,000 apps that have been custom-made to take advantage of the big, beautiful canvas that iPad has. The other guys have a few hundred." In this sentence, Cook is addressing the app ecosystem from a competitive point of view, and yet brings it back to a value proposition of the iPad -- the big, beautiful canvas. Implicitly, a canvas for creativity.
You either talk this way because you've been hounded and trained mercilessly by a marketing team, or more likely, because the love of the product really is your North Star.
The CEO phrases that make me gag? Cook uses very few of them. In fact, when he was talking about the halo effect of the Apple experience, where one good purchase experience leads to another and another, he said, "All of these things have synergies and stuff."
The practiced business phrases don't seem to be encoded onto Cook's tongue.
Welcome Into Our Stores
When Cook talks about Apple Retail Stores, he recognizes that these are the new face of Apple. And more importantly, when he drops statistics like the fact that 120 million people entered Apple Stores in the last quarter, he says Apple "welcomed" them into their stores. There's a fundamental way of thinking here expressed through Cook's word choices that I like.
Other words that Cook likes to use express a feeling of privilege. He acts like he knows he's lucky to have the job and the responsibility he does. He likens Apple's products, supply chain and environmental efforts as "contributions" to the world. He's proud that Apple has the largest private solar farm ever for running its data centers on renewable energy. He says he's "incredibly happy" that "we're" changing people's lives, and that Apple doesn't care if people are lobbing grenades from the sidelines.
Cook says, "I'm really proud over all these things, and I don't mean to gush, but it's how I feel. And, you know, it's both the privilege of a lifetime, and humbling to work with the people I get to work with."
When I contrast that sentiment with the bragging bravado of other CEOs I've heard over the years, I appreciate Cook more and more. Of course, when he answers questions about future product direction with phrases like "releases our magic," I start becoming a fan. He said, "I'm not going to comment about what we're going to do in the future because that releases our magic -- and I'm not going to do that."
Right on.

This article appeared in a 2015 issue of the
student newsletter.
By Mirella Mendoz,
student staff writer,
Brookhaven Courier
To conclude the Institute of Political Studies' events for the Open Book Project this semester, Brookhaven College invited Sergeant Al Nuñez and Special Agent Hakan Catalan for a law enforcement panel discussion Nov. 16 on the dangers of human trafficking and how to bring awareness.
The International Labour Organization estimates that there are 20.9 million victims of human trafficking globally, bringing in $32 billion per year – more than Apple Inc's 2011 revenue.
Catalan has been with the Homeland Security Investigation office for 10 years and is currently assigned to the HSI in Dallas. He is also a part of the North Texas Trafficking Task Force. Prior to coming to Dallas, Catalan was assigned to the resident agent office in Tyler, Texas, where he covered 21 counties. During that time, he said he investigated crimes such as rape, homicide, narcotics, human trafficking, child pornography, gang violence and more.
Catalan began the presentation by asking if anyone knew the difference between human smuggling and human trafficking.
Human smuggling is paying someone to bring an individual from one destination to another, he said. The person helping them may increase the smuggling fees, and the individual is considered a trafficking victim because they are being forced into a situation they cannot get out of.
For human trafficking purposes, Catalan said they look at three words: force, fraud and coercion.
He said the majority of human trafficking stems from prostitution, and about 70% of victims are women. However, anyone can be affected Catalan said.
A study by the University of Pennsylvania estimates there are 2 million child prostitutes worldwide and 300,000 in the U.S. The average age of these victims ranges from 12 to 14 years old, and some have reported that they began as early as 9 years old.
Catalan wanted to know how these victims get where they are now. Most of them have traumatic stories. He said he learned that young girls and women are being lured when they are at their weakest point, when they have low self-esteem.
The traffickers' method to lure their victims is to groom and entertain them, Catalan said. They do not use physical force at first, but with time they will use intimidation, violence and, more likely, emotional abuse.
There are 13 major cities in the U.S. that are high-intensity when it comes to prostitution. One of them is Dallas.
Catalan said the victims are sometimes scared to leave their situations because the traffickers know every detail of their lives. They may be 9 years old, afraid that if they leave, they will hurt their loved ones, he said.
"Traffickers would actually burn the girls with cigarettes, they would advertise them on Facebook and they brand the girls with tattoos," Catalan said.
Nuñez spent 14 years working in the patrol division and is currently responsible for supervising undercover detectives in their investigations on moral crimes such as prostitution, illegal alcohol sales and gambling. He is also a member of the North Texas Coalition against Human Trafficking.
Nuñez said that the Dallas Police Department is very proactive about helping prostitution victims. They help the victims get counseling and reunite them with their families. However, they are not naive and are aware which are in fact victims and not prostitutes paying for their addiction.
"If our patrol officers encounter any female juvenile that is in a known prostitution area, they are instructed to contact the high-risk victims unit," Nuñez said. "They will handle all cases involving victims that are 14 years old and younger. They will do a very in-depth investigation."
The DPD is going after the traffickers' assets and, in most cases, trying to give the money back to their victims.
He mentioned former first lady Nancy Reagan and her campaign on the war against drugs. "No one has ever started anything like that with human trafficking," he said. "We do have a couple of movies that are out, and that's bringing more awareness. And with that awareness, we are starting to get more tips."
Fernando Sanchez, a student, attended the presentation and said he liked that Catalan gave insights on the human trafficking business.

Charter boating in Spain
Millions of people every year choose the seaside in Spain for their holidays. Its extensive coastline and its climate make it a place to be enjoyed all year round. The Marine Resorts offer holidays to suit all tastes: sailing, scuba-diving, kayaking, windsurfing...
A sailing boat in Vigo estuary (Galicia)
If you like sailing, Spain is a destination that you will love for many reasons: because of the good weather, the variety of settings its coasts have to offer, the quality of the facilities, and because hiring a boat is simple. Getting to know Spain from the sea, on a charter boat, can be a fun option to enjoy with friends or as a family. Come and discover why.
Nearly 8,000 kilometres of coastline with many different features, including islands, cliffs, coves, unspoilt beaches and urban bays. Good winds and pleasant temperatures to go sailing most of the year. Over 100,000 moorings and more than 300 marinas, and this number increases every season. This is what you'll find in Spain. Sounds good, doesn't it? Especially if you want to go on a trip across the sea or spend your holidays on a sailing boat. It's easier than you think, because you don't need to own a boat – charter boating in Spain is an excellent alternative to enjoy the sea, which everyone can afford.
In Spain there are many possibilities to choose from, including day trips or longer programmes, and you can even hire a boat for several weeks. Most of the boats are available on the Mediterranean coast, mainly in the Balearic Islands, Catalonia and the Region of Valencia. However, you can also find an increasing number of companies in other areas: this is the case, for example, of Andalusia and Murcia; or on the Atlantic coast, in Galicia. Spain's Marine Resorts are an outstanding option when planning a charter, as they will prepare a trip to your specifications, right down to the last detail.
What you should know...
The boats can be hired with or without crew, so if you are a qualified skipper, you'll be able to command the boat yourself. As far as insurance and other mandatory documentation are concerned, you will not have to worry about a thing, as the hire company will provide it. The boat will come with the equipment and accessories you need to ensure a safe sail. It is recommended that you request an inventory sheet showing the material included before you set out, because it may be useful when you return the boat if anything is missing or damaged.
Prices will vary depending on the hire period, the type of boat and whether the crew is included or not. Keep in mind the fact that by law a maximum of 12 people can sail on a pleasure craft, so if you go with a group of friends, you will not only have a good time, but can also share expenses. It is also a good idea to plan the charter in advance, especially if you intend to go on your voyage during the summer: apart from being the season with the heaviest demand, many companies offer special deals and discounts for early booking.
Sailing in Spain is simple and a real pleasure. What are you waiting for? Come and see for yourself!

Pioneer has prevailed in its legal battle with Samsung over who owns key plasma display technologies.
Samsung will have to cough up $59.3m (£38m/€47m) to Pioneer after the US District Court for Eastern Texas ruled that its display division, Samsung SDI, had flouted Pioneer's intellectual property rights, specifically a pair of patents for a surface-discharge plasma display and a brighter-than-usual plasma screen.
Pioneer took Samsung to court in September 2006 after, it claimed at the time, 18 months of unsuccessful negotiations that centred on persuading Samsung to license the technology.
Samsung has yet to publicly announce what it'll do next, but it has the option of appealing against the verdict. Or it might simply choose to pay out the damages and license Pioneer's technology, which might just work out less expensive than continuing to pay the lawyers.

While Aileen Wournos, the alleged "female serial killer" who insists she killed in self-defense, sits on death row, Hollywood filmmakers appropriate her story. Meanwhile, in our perverse justice system, the sexual assaults and murders of forty-five women in San Diego are discounted by police and given file code name NHI, No Humans Involved, because the victims are perceived as marginal: sex workers, informants, homeless or working class women.
The women in Critical Condition challenge abuse and invisibility with powerful literary and visual art. They put a spin on issues of women and violence by focusing on women won fight back, sometimes killing their abusers; women who control their own sexualities and challenge conventional ideas of sex; women who assert images of themselves in a cultural landscape where none appear; women who reframe personal histories that were meant to shame them into oblivion.
Critical Condition includes Carla Kirkwood's autobiographical performance monologue about a girl, sexually abused by the men in her family, who becomes a feminist activist in the '70's and an artist in the '90's. In impassioned poetry, Wanda Coleman takes a look at the embattled lives of African-Americans, particularly in Los Angeles. Sapphire's searing poems about race and self-realization exposé the fallacy of the nuclear family and the vicious cycle of domestic violence. The Theory Girls' performance script, "If You Were like the Heroine in a Country and Western song," is both detailed expose and black comedy framing the relationship between Aileen Wuornos and Arlene Pralle (the born-again Christian who became enamored of Wuornos after her conviction) within the context to Hollywood's fascination for women with guns.
Here, too, are panel discussions, taken from a conference at The Lab and San Francisco Camerawork, that focus on self-revelation and art, women who kill, and the question of race and gender in the media. There are over twenty-five pages of visual art, including the Women's Work billboard campaign promoting public awareness of domestic violence, wit work by Barbara Kruger and Carrie Mae Weems.
Critical Condition shows women on the edge of violence, defending themselves, asserting public images that resist conventional ideas of powerlessness and victimization, and combating the dominant paradigm with irreverence and fierce commitment.

Rosie O'Donnell's a bit lonely nowadays, now that her longtime galpal has split.
"I'm not [enjoying the single life]," she told People. "But on we grow, so to speak."
Earlier this month, O'Donnell revealed that she and her longtime girlfriend, Kelli Carpenter, separated two years ago. Though she usually remained tight-lipped about her relationships, O'Donnell confirmed breakup rumors on her Sirius satellite radio show after a guest mentioned something about her Chihuahua, Misty.
U.S. & World
"What happened [was] when Kelli moved out two years ago, I got the dog. Because I wanted another child or something to love. And I got the dog," O'Donnell said.
Despite her discontent with the single life, her friends say she's doing well.
"She seems happy and grounded," said O'Donnell's friend Judy Gold. "She's in the driver's seat here."
The couple have three adopted children together, Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12 and Blake, 9, and one child whom Carpenter carried, Vivian, 6.
O'Donnell has vowed in previous interviews to maintain a good relationship with Carpenter even though they are separated.
"We will both continue to parent them and we're friendly and everything's all right," she said.

This is too interesting not to share. Remember the 4-car Type 4?
Well in response to that, here's an old video that shows a 4-car Type 1 train, courtesy of mrksvideos, who recently left this in a comment on that old post. Since I don't expect people to go back and skim old posts for new comments (though there are some good ones!), I wanted to repost this here so that you all could see it. This is a train move that hasn't been done for 20(ish) years. In addition to that, I really like this because it's rare to see video of MAX during the wheelchair lift, pre-low-floor car era. Really glad mrksvideos recorded it and posted it.
mrksvideos's description of what you're seeing:
Back in the day Tri-Met ran Light Rail (MAX) to the far end of the line in Gresham, and had a few 2 car trains terminate there. The trains would pull down to the tail track at Cleveland Avenue and park there. Then, another train whose day ended there as well would pull down to the parked 2 car train and couple up. They would then take the 4 car train to Ruby Junction for the night and tie up. This practice ended a long time ago and I have seen no other record of this type of move anywhere. This video was shot at the west end of the westbound platform of Gresham City Hall station sometime in the 1990's when the old Gresham lumber mill was still around across the tracks in the dark. Enjoy!
And for reference, the tail track at Cleveland, which is long enough to store a 2-car consist on each track, though it is not used very often these days:

Iranian blogger Sattar Beheshti died from abuse suffered in Evin Prison. In this video, produced by IranWire in cooperation with CPJ, Beheshti's mother describes the anguish she has endured and asks for support for all the other journalists and political prisoners being held in Iran. In all, 40 journalists were jailed as of April 2013, a testament to the iron grip the government has on news and commentary.
Please read our accompanying special report, "As election nears, Iran's journalists are in chains," which documents the use of imprisonment as a tool of censorship. It also provides capsule reports on all journalists in jail.

Our Search for the Best Viognier Under $20
Seeking the best value for the buck.
My boyfriend's best friend from high school recently got married to his girlfriend of 5 years, and they asked me to pick the wines for their wedding. I haven't known them for that long, and I guess they want to "stay together forever" or some nonsense like that, so this was kind of a one shot deal—talk about pressure!
They had their hearts set on Malbec for the reds, and gave me more freedom, with the whites, so I needed to find something that was "cool" and "fresh" (the wedding was in LA after all), that would go well with food and not break the bank. Value Viognier to the rescue!
Viognier is one of my favorite affordable-wine options because it makes some pretty interesting wines that can please a lot of different people. For hard core, manly men who prematurely decide white wine is too feminine for them (I've seen many of those in my day), Viognier offers a rich, medium to full bodied white that can stand up to pork and other hearty food. For people who like their wine on the sweeter side, there are some options that are round, floral, and a little sweet. You'll find both New and Old World examples.
What to Expect
Overall, you can expect Viognier to be rich with floral aromas and a finish that leaves you wanting more. Viognier is naturally low in acid, so some winemakers try to do all that they can to preserve as much tartness as possible. One way of doing this is to prevent a process known as malolactic fermentation, where bacteria in the wine converts the stronger malic acid (lower pH, green apple-y flavors) to the milder lactic acid (higher pH, creamy dairy flavors). Although this process occurs naturally and is almost always used with red wine just to make it drinkable, the extent to which malolactic fermentation is used/allowed with white wine is up to the winemaker. To stop this process from occurring, winemakers can remove or kill off this bacteria, or control the temperature to prevent their activity, leaving the crisp acidity preserved in the liquid.
Especially in warmer climate regions, where the acid is relatively lower than in colder areas, preventing this process is even more important, so let's learn a little bit more about where Viognier is produced.
Where It's Produced
Viognier's origins are a little muddy. Some claim the grape originated in Australia, others posit Croatia is Viognier's motherland and more recent studies have genetically linked it with northern Italian grapes. Whatever the case, it's not surprising that Viognier is currently produced in an array of sites across the globe.
In France, southwest winemaking regions—Rhone Valley, Provence, and Languedoc—are the major names you'll see on wine labels. Many of these wines are blends of Viognier with other French white grapes (such as Marsanne and Rousanne.) In northern Rhone, Viognier is produced as a single varietal wine in Condrieu and Grillet, but these bottles can be on the pricey side (i.e., starting at $20-$30, with many above the $100 mark). Another main use of Viognier in France is to soften the smoky, tannic Syrah produced in these regions, as we learned earlier.
In the New World, California is one of the most common Viognier-producing states in the US. Because of the warmer temperatures there, you will often find higher alcohol in California Viognier compared to French examples. Other states that produce Viognier include Washington, New York and Virginia, among others.
Moving to the southern hemisphere, Mendoza in Argentina and Casablanca and Maule Valleys in Chile are a few regions to keep an eye out for.
Last but not least, Australia is another major producer. Eden Valley, McLaren Vale, Yarra Valley and Adelaide Hills are a few regions where you will find Viognier made as a varietal wine.
How to Serve Viognier
Even though we're talking about white wine here, because there are a lot of aromatics and complex flavors to be had, Viognier shouldn't be served ice cold. A slight chill to 55 degrees or so (basically about 30 minutes to an hour in the fridge) should get you to a good serving temperature.
Viognier is a great food wine, and there are so many ways you can go—salty hard cheeses, tart goat cheeses, seafood, poultry, pork, and even (sometimes) dessert.
We tasted through 7 bottles under $20 and found a good assortment of options to recommend for this summer's sipping.
If You're Looking for Clean and Refreshing...
While the Domaine de la Bastide Cotes Du Rhone Blanc 2010 ($13) was actually a blend of 70% Viognier with 20% Roussane and 10% Bourboulenc, you still get the characteristic floral aromas of elderflower, lavender and roses with a gentle sweetness and hint of caramel (though it's made in stainless steel.) The bright acidity nicely balanced this wine out, making it easy to drink on its own, or as a happy partner to light meals.
Another French option from Provence, the Domaine Triennes Saint Fleur 2010 ($15) offers scents that reminded us of nectarine. It's on the lighter side for Viognier, and its creaminess balanced with tart, juicy apple flavors made it a favorite. The mouth-watering acidity of this wine would pair well with something with a little fat—try salty sausages.
Substance Viognier 2010 ($16), hailing from Washington, smelled juicy and sweet but tasted surprisingly dry, if not as complex as the others we tried. This tart, mineral wine would probably be better with a little food—try pasta salad with feta.
Hailing from Mendoza, Argentina, Vientos del Sur Viognier 2010 was neither very expensive (at $9 a pop) nor very impressive. Though it smelled exceptionally sweet, like peach candy, it was pretty earthy once you tasted it. The stone fruit popped up again as unripe nectarine with a little tangerine citrus.
If You're Looking for Complex...
Trying two different bottles of the Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier ($16) within a week was an interesting experiment. Although the 2009 was interesting and quite tasty, I have to admit, that many tasters initially found the smell off-putting. I've heard the phrase "cat piss" thrown around a lot in the wine world with reference to Sauvignon Blanc, which didn't really make sense to me, but most of us agreed this was a pretty accurate description of the scent on this one. But once we tasted it, the wine had a creamy richness and a nice earthy bitterness on the finish that kept us going for more. If you like Scotch, you may want to give this wine a whirl, as the unique, almost-peaty flavors could be right up your alley.
Just one year younger, the 2010 Yalumba Eden Valley is a very versatile wine that could match up well with anything as fancy as a chicken-topped salad to as low key as a bag of salty potato chips (my pairing of choice). The scent was citrusy-sweet, and flavors followed through, hinting at Meyer lemon and nectarine, along with bready, biscuity flavors that probably resulted from the 10 months this wine spent on the lees. (In other words, resting on the sediment of dead yeast cells, as we saw with some bottles of Muscadet).
We were also impressed with the complexicty of Melville "Estate-Verna's" Viognier 2010 ($20) from Santa Barbara County in California. This rich wine had vanilla and dried honey flavors (although only neutral oak and stainless steel was used here) balanced by an earthy savoriness. This was a full wine, and can easily stand up to food.

At least 13 people were injured in a collision involving a school bus and a minivan in the city's Oldtown neighborhood this afternoon, according to the Baltimore Fire Department.
The bus, #1622, was transporting the National Academy Foundation #421's high school girls soccer team, which was en route to Baltimore Polytechnic Institute for an afternoon game, said Edie House Foster, a schools spokeswoman.
Those injured in the accident, which occurred about 3:10 p.m. at the intersection of Ensor and East Madison streets, included 11 students on the bus and the driver and a passenger in the minivan, said Chief Kevin Cartwright, a fire department spokesman.
None of the injuries were considered life-threatening, but students and others complaining of neck and back pains were treated on the scene and transported to local hospitals, Cartwright said.
Some were placed on back-boards and had cervical neck braces placed on them at the scene, Cartwright said.
The driver, van passenger and all 11 students were transported to area hospitals, Cartwright said. The students injured were sent to at least four different hospitals, House Foster said.
"They're all general aches and pains, neck and back pain and things like that," Cartwright said of the injuries sustained.
Cartwright nor House Foster could confirm how many students were on the bus in total at the time of the accident.
The bus is owned by AA Affordable Transportation, a contractor for the city school system, House Foster said.
The soccer game will be rescheduled, House Foster said.

Gotye – Somebody that I used to know (Oliver Schories Remix)
Download: http://soundcloud.com/oliverschories/gotye-somebody-that-i-used-to/download
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't want to live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

HARRSIONBURG, Va. (AP) — Two tom turkeys raised in Virginia's poultry belt have a date with the president.
The birds raised in Rockingham County are heading to Washington where President Barack Obama will pardon one of the toms on Wednesday. Two birds are sent to the White House in the event one falls ill during its trip to Washington from Harrisonburg.
The birds were raised by Craig and Nancy Miller just outside Harrisonburg. Craig Miller said the two toms each weighing 40 pounds were raised separately from the 43,000 hens he tends under contract with Cargill Inc.
A motorcade will leave with the two birds on Monday and they'll spend two nights in the W Hotel before the annual White House ceremony.
Craig Miller calls the honor a "once-in-a-lifetime thing."

I can meet you on Friday[ - this Friday] (In this case you might feel you need to add 'this Friday', to make it clear);
I can meet you this Friday
"Next" is a week later than "this", but only a few days more than a week. On Thursday you might say 'next Friday' (meaning 'in 8 days'); but on Monday 15th, you would say I can meet you on [the] Friday [of] next week or I can meet you a week this Friday .

001. Aaah So much for not blogging over these few days. I cant get away! I mainly just dont want to miss out on a Sunday Portrait, They are like LLYMLRS tradition! Like I said in the video post yesterday, I hope you all had a great day. Mine was awesome. Had the family over today for Boxing Day lunch, I could hardly eat anything though as I was still full from Christmas Day!
002. Doing a big clear out of my bedroom today/tomorrow. I'll hopefully shoot a ton of clothes/jewellery/makeup that can go up on my blogsale blog within the week. I've decided that definitely need to refine my wardrobe. Not in a Gok Wan capsule wardrobe way, I just want more things that make sense, and less OMG THATS PRETTY ME WANT! In the new year I hope my approach to clothing will be alot more sensible, rather than impulse buying 3423 cardigans! Although you cant go wrong with that many cardigans!
003. Going shopping in the sales tomorrow. Id like to go to Birmingham, but my Mum wants to go to Telford. My iPhone 4 still hasn't come, so I really need to get to the Apple store before I go crazy. Just read about a story about someone being stabbed inside the Bullring! Thats actually crazy, as soon as my Mum watches the news theres no chance we'd be going there! Although if we do go I REALLY hope I find this jumper. I literally want it so badly I'd cut my right arm off!
004. I hope you've noticed that there is a new little "reactions" button on the bottom of my blog. I put this there because alot of people commented saying that they often didn't know what to say in a comment. So if you like a post, please just click like. Feel free to add a comment if you wish to add something constructive or give an articulated comment, But don't feel like you have to comment for the sake of commenting. A little click of a the like button is just as appreciated! If you wanted to get one on your blog, go to dashboard ->design -> page elements -> blog posts -> then its under reactions, just type "like" into the box. If you don't understand, remember my mantra, google is your friend or just click that link!
005. Five to Follow (as per tweet request for URL's!) Rachel, Shannon, Lucy, Ismay & Rosalyn
PS. I know that Sunday Portrait has no numbers, I still havent gotten round to doing the numbers for my font, But its number 56!

ENTRIES TAGGED "book community"
The 7 key features of an online community
They all contribute to the personal experience of the shared space
by Travis Alber | @screenkapture | +Travis Alber | December 18, 2012
Here's something about the user experience of online communities that you've probably never considered: everyone in an online community is having a unique, individualized experience, even though they're all doing it together. Think about that for a second. Your activity feed is not my activity feed, it has different places, people, and pages appearing in it. Some of the posts in your feed may also appear for me, depending on our collective preferences. But most of the time I'll only see a small portion of the things you see, and then share those with my own subset of friends. It's like riding the subway. It's a personal experience in a shared space: a million small interactions that can be meaningful, or totally forgettable.

SAN DIEGO -- Matt Romney, son of 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, said Friday that he would not be a candidate to succeed San Diego Mayor Bob Filner.
In an email to Los Angeles Times political reporter Maeve Reston, Romney said he had been asked "by some friends in the local R [Republican] party to consider running and not dismiss it out of hand.
"Out of respect for them, I agreed not to rule it out until today after allowing for some discussions. It's now safe to say that I will not run for mayor."
Romney, 41, is senior vice president for capital markets at Excel Trust Inc. His residence is outside the city limits, but he could have moved; his parents own a home in La Jolla.
When Romney's name was listed by a pollster among potential candidates, it created a slight buzz within media and political circles.
Filner, a Democrat, is set to resign at 5 p.m. Friday under a cloud of sexual harassment allegations.
Republican leaders are hoping to rally around a single candidate in the Nov. 19 special election in hopes of overcoming a voter registration disadvantage. Democrats comprise 40% of registered voters within the city; voters who decline to state a party comprise 27%; and Republicans are 26%.
"Our fine city needs a good mayor and I hope that the election allows us to unite around a principled leader," Romney said in his email.
