Feasibility of an Online Intervention for Population-Based Suicide
Ursula Whiteside, Ph.D., Group Health Cooperative
Mentor: Gregory Simon, M.D., M.P.H., Group Health Cooperative
2012 Postdoctoral Fellowship
Inside the Research
Bio: Dr. Whiteside received her doctorate from the University of Washington in 2010. She is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Group Health Research Institute.
Research Categories: Behavioral intervention technology and dialectical behavior therapy to prevent suicide
Abstract: The goal of this fellowship project is to develop online treatment modules for three of the active ingredients in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Mindfulness, Opposite Action, and Mindfulness of Current Emotion. Dr. Whiteside will use an online delivery model by email because this approach is suitable for the large numbers of at-risk patients identifiable in healthcare settings. Online delivery models are scalable and can be provided securely, inexpensively, and utilizing existing systems in healthcare. She will develop a brief online DBT skills intervention and will test it in patients, adapt it, and retest it across the training period with 30 patients. The intervention will supplement usual care among high-risk patients identified via depression scales collected at outpatient primary care and mental health visits. The intervention content will be drawn from research involving DBT skills interventions. The project will involve ongoing refinement of the interventions based on qualitative/formative feedback from patients and consultation with suicide intervention experts.
Impact: Large scale application of interventions to reduce suicidal ideation and behavior across the healthcare system.

All News Releases By Date
Two Bay Area organizations selected to receive EPA funding for unemployed workers to receive environmental job training
Release Date: 05/13/2014
Contact Information: David Yogi, firstname.lastname@example.com, 415-972-3350
SAN FRANCISCO – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announces it has selected the Cypress Mandela Training Center in Oakland, Calif. and Hunters Point Family in San Francisco, Calif. to receive $200,000 each in Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training (EWDJT) grant funding to provide job training to unemployed and economically-disadvantaged residents of San Francisco, Oakland, and surrounding East Bay communities. In total, 18 grantees were selected nationally to receive approximately $3.6 million in funding.
"EPA is excited to partner with Cypress Mandela and Hunters Point Family to provide community members the skills they need to clean up contaminated sites in the Bay Area," said Jared Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest. "These skills will support local involvement in environmental work for years to come."
Cypress Mandela Training Center's program is unique in its partnerships with environmental contractors and utility providers. Cypress Mandela has a strong reputation throughout the Bay Area in graduating highly skilled and workforce-ready graduates.
In addition to environmental technician training, Hunters Point Family is also providing instruction in aquaponics. The community is developing a social enterprise in aquaponics on a former brownfield site. Program graduates will be able to go directly to work benefitting their community.
EWDJT grants fund training programs in local nonprofit organizations, community colleges, cities, states, tribes, and counties that provide unemployed and under-employed, including veterans, minority, and predominately low income individuals with the comprehensive skills and certifications needed to enter full-time careers in the environmental field. The funding also supports job placement and recruitment activities. These green jobs give hope to individuals to overcome significant barriers to employment and help protect public health and the environment by providing a skilled job force to clean up contamination and build more sustainable futures for local communities.
Graduates of the program develop a comprehensive set of skills to secure full-time, sustainable employment in many areas of the environmental field, and the program has resulted in an excellent cumulative job placement rate. Nationally, the average an hourly starting wage is $14.00. Program graduates obtain employment within their own communities, areas often historically affected by blight, economic disinvestment, and sites contaminated with solid and hazardous wastes. Rather than filling local environmental jobs with professionals outside of these communities, these grants help provide an opportunity for local residents to secure careers that make a visible impact cleaning up their neighborhoods and creating a locally skilled workforce. Graduates obtain employment in fields such as: recycling, brownfields assessment and cleanup, wastewater treatment, stormwater management, emergency response, oil spill cleanup, solar installation, and Superfund site remediation.
The additional 16 grantees are:
- · Los Angeles Conservation Corps, Calif.
· City of Durham, N.C.
· Memphis Bioworks, Tenn.
· City of Milwaukee, Wis.
· St. Nicks Alliance; Brooklyn, N.Y.
· Civic Works; Baltimore, Md.
· Community Development Corporation of Tampa, Fla.
· Limitless Vistas; New Orleans, La.
· City of Camden, Ark.
· Energy Coordinating Agency; Philadelphia, Penn.
· Lewis and Clark County, Mont.
· Alaska Forum
· Northstar Center for Human Development; Hartford, Conn.
· City of Detroit, Mich.
· The Workplace, Inc.; Bridgeport, Conn.
· Mo-Kan Regional Council; St. Joseph, Mo.
Since the EWDJT program's inception in 1998, the EPA has funded 239 job training grants totaling more than $50 million. More than 12,800 individuals have completed training, and of those, more than 9,100 have secured employment in the environmental field.

�"A German prisoner took this photo," Arthur Fishtine said, his right hand shaking as he held the black-and-white photo of the handsome young American soldier.
"I wasn�t yet 21," the longtime Natick man said, staring back into his own brown eyes, 70 years later. "Still so young."
Fishtine�s 90-year-old frame has been through a lot since the picture was taken. He beat advanced stage prostate cancer back in the 1990s. He�s had many "scrapes," as he puts them. At 88, he was hit by a car.
But his mind is still razor sharp. As he put his finger on�a map of Europe, tracing with ease the miles in France that were won�with such sacrifice�in 1944, the memories flow as easily as water.
"We were disappointed at first we weren�t included in the invasion," said Fishtine, whose 79th Infantry Division landed on Utah Beach a week after D-Day. "We were young kids, we were gung ho.
"We thought, �It�s nothing. We�ll just go over there and beat the Germans.� But it wasn�t that easy."
The Dorchester native was "drafted" into the Army at 18, two weeks after he quit his job welding ships for the Navy because he learned it would make him exempt.
"Everybody was going in, and I didn�t want to remain home," Fishtine explained, pausing to smile. "I wanted to wear the uniform to impress all the girls."
Fishtine was sent to California for training, recalling vividly how the camp, surrounded by fruit orchards, "smelled like perfume all the time."
But one day, a 40-millimeter gun ran over both his legs during an accident. He was laid up in the hospital with the possibility of discharge.
"I didn�t want to leave my buddies I had been with," Fishtine said, remembering how he cried on the phone to his sergeant. "It would have been a disgrace going home."
The sergeant got him out of the hospital, and a determined Fishtine limped around until he recovered.
In June 1944, Fishtine found himself in the English Channel�aboard an LST (Landing Ship, Tank), the same kind of craft he�d worked on at the Navy yard.
"I was sweating it out, because I did the welding," he said, laughing. "Well, we made it."
Fishtine�s first taste of combat could have been his last. The�night he landed�on Utah Beach, as his company truck crept along in total darkness, an American soldier in a foxhole kindly informed him they were headed straight for German lines.
"Evidently we�d gone down the wrong road," Fishtine said, remembering how the Germans caught on and "all hell broke loose."
"We had never before in our lives heard incoming shells," he said. "It was a rude awakening.�
Fishtine served in a 15-man anti-aircraft outfit that ground its way across France and into Germany. Equipped with a two-and-half-ton truck that hauled a 40-millimeter gun and four quad-mounted .50-caliber machine guns,�its job was to protect the infantry from German warplanes.
After they crossed the Seine River, the German Luftwaffe "came in like a swarm of bees," Fishtine said, with one plane aiming directly at his truck.
"I thought we were goners," he said. "Fortunately the bullets were going over our heads."
Fishtine and his comrades scored a direct hit on the plane, which crashed only about 25 yards away.
"We had to get off the guns, because shrapnel was flying all over the place," he said.
Fishtine�s unit was credited with taking down four planes in all. He crossed the Rhine River in a small boat with German shells raining down around it.
In Germany, Fishtine, a Jew, was shocked when he came across survivors of concentration camps being tended to by a chaplain in the town of Bayreuth.
"When they heard I was Jewish, they came up to me and cried, they were all over me. I was crying myself," he said. "Being not even 21, it was hard to believe all of that, as a young boy.
"What do you know, how serious life is? You don�t."
When Fishtine got back home, he didn�t let opportunities pass him by. On his first day starting college under�the GI Bill, he turned around to the pretty girl behind him, copied her phone number down from the paperwork in front of her and told her he�d be calling.
"She said, �Don�t bother, I�m going steady,�" he said, pausing to share a smile with that same girl, Charlotte, sitting next to him. "I worked on her," he said as he looked at his bride of 64 years.
Fishtine has some difficult war memories, like the day he lost a good friend to mistaken friendly aircraft fire and nearly died himself. But he has good memories, too, like the time he sneaked into the Notre-Dame Cathedral of Reims, which he had once carved out of soap as a boy.
"When I was 7 or 8, I remember the Civil War guys would dress in their blue uniforms and get in their horse and carriage on Memorial Day," he reflected. "That�s how far back I go."
In the twilight of a life spent in graphic and architectural design, the longtime Framingham Jewish War Veterans commander said one thing he�ll never forget is the reception his outfit got as it sailed home to New York.
"That was the first time I felt I had survived," he said, recalling the fire trucks tooting and the people lining the harbor cheering. "I don�t think there was a dry eye as we sailed past the Statue of Liberty."

It was on the basketball court of this stately colonial home outside Los Angeles that Steve Martin and his movie daughter, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, melted hearts while shooting hoops in the 1991 film "Father of the Bride."
The real-life home that served as the filming location for the Banks family in the "Father of the Bride" abode is now for sale. It turns out it's a full-on mansion out in Alhambra, California, and it happens to be the place where they shot the wedding and backyard scenes. (Fans already know that front exterior shots came from a separate house in Pasadena.)
Steve Martin Tells Stephen Colbert They Are Not Real Friends
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
For $2 million, this clapboard beauty could be your next house. It's being listed on Zillow in all its clapboard goodness, and it boasts all the "Father of the Bride"-y qualities you'd expect, like shutters and a formal entry and pillars and a tree-lined street and, yes, a basketball court in the back.
It's still to be determined whether the Banks family initials come carved in the tree or whether you'll see apparitions of young Annie learning to shoot hoops, but it seems like a good investment nonetheless.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan liberally until coated.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Separate eggs.
Beat egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar on high speed until yolks are pale yellow. Stir in milk and vanilla. Pour egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir very gently until combined.
Beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, pour in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until egg whites are stiff but not dry.
Fold egg white mixture into the batter very gently until just combined. Pour into prepared pan and spread to even out the surface.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Turn cake out onto a rimmed platter and allow to cool.
Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream in a small pitcher. When cake is cool, pierce the surface with a fork several times. Slowly drizzle all but about 1 cup of the milk mixture—try to get as much around the edges of the cake as you can.
Allow the cake to absorb the milk mixture for 30 minutes. To ice the cake, whip 1 pint heavy cream with 3 tablespoons of sugar until thick and spreadable.
Spread over the surface of the cake. Decorate cake with whole or chopped maraschino cherries. Cut into squares and serve.
yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings
active time: 35 minutes

Dalia Satovskiene*
Five years ago when the President of the Lithuanian Physical Society Prof. Zenonas Rudzikas suggested to me to take part in the First IUPAP women in Physics conference (2002, Paris) as a member of the Lithuanian delegation I was going to refuse. I did not feel myself having a gender as a physicist. However the well organized sessions, the open and sincere life stories of outstanding women physicists cardinally changed my position and lead to the conclusion: the women in sciences problem exists!
In 2005 Lithuanian women physicists initiated the FP6 project "Baltic States Network: Women in Sciences and High Technology" (BASNET, http://www.basnet-fp6.eu/). The project was successful and got financial support for its implementation from the European Commission. The core of the problem of women in sciences consists of two main and closely connected parts: large disproportion of women and men scientists in sciences and inadequate representation of women on various levels of science and its management. The BASNET project was committed to solve the latter dimension of the problem. It was coordinated by Vilnius University. Among project partners were the Ministries of Education and Science, key universities, and research institutes from three Baltic States. The Polish Physical Society and the University of Bucharest also participated in the project.
The main goal of the BASNET project was the creation of the regional Strategy how to deal with the "women in sciences" problem in the Baltic States. The project implementation has some stages. The first one was an in depth sociological study aiming to find out disincentives and barriers women scientists face in their career and work at science and higher education institutions. Analysis of results revealed a wide range of problems concerned with science organization, management, and financing common for both counterparts. However it also proved the existence of discrimination against women in sciences. As main factors influencing women under-representation in Physics were found: the stereotypes existing in the society where physics is assigned to the masculine area of activity; failings of the science management system, where highest positions are distributed not using the institutionalized objective criteria but by voting, where the correctness of majority solutions is anticipated implicitly. In physics, where male scientists are the majority (they also usually compose executive boards, committees etc.) results of such procedures often are unfavorable for women. The same reasons also influence women "visibility" in the physicist's community and as the consequence possibility to receive needed recourses for their research as well as appropriate presentation of results obtained. The study revealed the conservatism of the scientific community - reluctance to face problems existing in the scientific society and to start solving them. On the basis of the results obtained as good practice of other countries the common strategy of solving the problem of women in physics (sciences) in the Baltic States region was formulated. As changing the stereotypes is a long lasting process it, was decided firstly to concentrate strategy implementation plans on changes in science management policy tackling the problem from the "top" and allowing to receive the quickest results. Each participating country is free to decide which problems are most important and be solved first.For example, on the basis of BASNET strategy the Lithuanian Ministry of Education and Sciences developed its strategy of Equal Gender Opportunities in Sciences and started its implementation. On the other hand, a great work was done to improve women-scientists communication in the Baltic States so necessary to make women more visible in the scientific community. For this the Data Basis of Baltic States Women in Sciences and HT was established. Together we became more confident and understood that we can change something in this world!
The BASNET project was finished at the very end of 2007. As its continuation on the basis of institutions - BASNET project partners, BASNET Forumas association was established. Its mission: to monitor the Strategy implementation in the Baltic States region. 2008 BASNET Forumas has become a full member of the European Platform of Women Scientists(EPWS, http://www.epws.org/), prestigious umbrella organization of women networks in EU, established by EC. The membership opened broader horizons for Baltic States' women scientists to influence European science policy.

At stores across Wichita, the search for eclipse glasses continues. Outside Imagine That Toys on the East side, she goes through the list of stores she called.
"Ace, Lowes, Toys R Us, Kirklands, Dillons, Walgreens, Gordman's, two libraries..."
She called several before she finally found some at Imagine That Toys.
At many places, the price of these glasses is going up - and that's left many people searching for alternatives.
"We've sold out of everything." says Jon Krepon, Manager at Lampton Welding Supply near downtown. He wasn't expecting so much interest in his inventory.
"It's been crazy." He says. "Everybody's been going nuts over this thing."
The lack of glasses has many turning to welding lenses as a substitute. NASA has said that welding lenses can be used for eclipse viewing, as long as they're a 12 shade or darker.
"I would go with probably 13 and feel safe." Jon says. But even those are long gone.
"All my 14's and everything are sold out. I couldn't keep them on the shelves."
While welding masks are a bit more expensive, he says plenty of people are considering using them - but he says if you do, make sure it's not an auto-dark helmet.
"What that does is automatically darken when it sparks an arc." He says. "You can look at the sun, and it's gonna be dark, but as that moon goes across I don't know that I would trust it not to go light on you."
But passive helmets, he says, should work just fine.
"If you've got a passive helmet, a non-auto-dark helmet, if you can get ahold of a 13 or 14 lens and put it in, then yeah it's fine."

In conversation with Paul Holdengräber, Pico Iyer will unravel the mysterious communion he has always had with Graham Greene, illuminated now in The Man Within My Head. Iyer, at home nowhere, will examine the nature of his elective affinities with Greene—their shared restlessness and refusal to make a home in any faith, country or category.
Pico Iyer is the author of two novels and eight works of non-fiction, including Video Night in Kathmandu, The Lady and the Monk, The Global Soul and The Open Road. He writes frequently for The New York Review of Books, Harper's, The New York Times and many other publications; his most recent articles have discussed the workers of the Fukushima nuclear plant, the power of stillness and the fiction of Somalia.

Every December, more than a million people will find their way to Pasadena: for the Rose Parade, the Rose Bowl, Christmas shopping and Paula Deen head-scratching. Whether you're a visitor looking to get off the beaten float-viewing path or a local who wants to escape the hoopla, consider taking one or more of these strolls through some of Pasadena's most architecturally significant residential neighborhoods.
Southwest Pasadena & South Pasadena
Filled with glorious homes both modest and grand, Southwest Pasadena and South Pasadena make for superb strolling territory. The stately trees, street-facing gardens and shaded porches evoke a timeless sense of the American neighborhood. Of particular note are the Oaklawn Portals, designed by Greene & Greene in 1905. Walk through the portals and follow broad Oaklawn Avenue to the Oaklawn Bridge and Waiting Station, another Greene & Greene project—and their only bridge—designed to link the Oaklawn housing development to bustling Fair Oaks Avenue. If you begin this walk on Orange Grove, near the genesis of the Rose Parade, be sure to wander the side streets, such as Markham and Wigmore.
Oaklawn Portals (1905), Oaklawn Bridge (1906), Oaklawn Waiting Station
Oaklawn Avenue south of Columbia, South Pasadena
Designed by Charles and Henry Greene, this bridge was one of America's first to be made of reinforced concrete. The Greenes also laid out the street and designed its wall and portal gates.
Longley House (late 1897)
1005 Buena Vista St., South Pasadena
Displaying a mixture of architectural styles, this house is believed to be the earliest standing structure by Greene & Greene.
Garfield House (1904)
1001 Buena Vista St., South Pasadena
Charles and Henry Greene built this house for Lucretia Garfield, the widow of President James Garfield, who served for only four months before being assassinated.
Westridge School
324 Madeline Dr., Pasadena
You can view this campus from the gates of this private girls' school on Madeline Drive, and you can also see several of its contemporary and Arts & Crafts-era buildings along Orange Grove or State Street. Sylvanus Marston, Whit Smith and the Greene brothers are all represented on the campus.
Blankenhorn Lamphear House (1893)
346 Markham Pl., Pasadena
This house is one of Pasadena's finest examples of the Queen Anne style, the most romantic and fanciful of the Victorian era's architectural idioms.

Oak Knoll
Pasadena's Oak Knoll began life before the turn of the 20th century as an estate region. Today, many of the original homes remain, though some, such as the Greene & Greene masterpiece the Blacker House, no longer have the extensive grounds they once claimed. Because homes were built in succeeding decades in various revival styles, the neighborhood boasts a wonderful architectural diversity. The world-famous Huntington Hotel, now known as the Ritz Carlton Huntington Hotel & Spa, makes Oak Knoll a destination for many visitors. The brothers Greene, Arthur and Alfred Heineman, Sylvanus Marston and Wallace Neff are all represented in this glorious area, which was designed to showcase its lovely native oaks. If you make your way south and east to Los Robles Avenue, you'll see the experimental, post-war Wallace Neff Dome House, quite unusual for Pasadena.
Langham Huntington Hotel (1906, rebuilt in 1991)
1401 S. Oak Knoll Ave.
Opened as the Hotel Wentworth in 1907, the hotel failed and was purchased by tycoon Henry Huntington, who had it redesigned by Myron Hunt; it reopened as a resort destination in 1914 and came to represent the good life in Pasadena. Don't miss the painted covered bridge and the gardens, and have lunch by the pool if you can.
Blacker House (1907)
1177 Hillcrest Ave.
Considered, along with the Gamble House, to be Greene & Greene's crowning achievement, Blacker House has withstood the ravages of time and inconsistent maintenance and is now in the hands of private owners who have restored it with pristine attention. A treasure.
Freeman House
1330 Hillcrest Ave.
Arthur S. Heineman designed this whimsical Craftsman. The designer of the first motor hotel, he is said to have coined the term "motel" for motor hotel.
Dome House
1097 S. Los Robles Ave.
Wallace Neff began experimenting with concrete structures in 1941. This 1946 example of his "bubble" construction was a part of his ongoing interest in building affordable housing. Another Neff house, done in a much more traditional Spanish Revival style, is found at 1290 Hillcrest Avenue.

Prospect Park
This area, designed as a housing development in 1906, boasts Sylvanus Marston clinker-brick portals on Orange Grove at Prospect Boulevard. Mature camphor trees create a shady arch over the wide, lovely boulevard as you enter from Orange Grove. You will find Frank Lloyd Wright's La Miniatura in this neighborhood, as well as the extraordinary Gamble House and, on Arroyo Terrace, a spectacular collection of Greene & Greene houses.
Charles Sumner Greene House (1901)
368 Arroyo Terrace
Amid a cluster of Greene & Greene homes is Charles Greene's own Craftsman dwelling, to which he made several additions over the years. Just next door, at 370 Arroyo Terrace, is the home built for Martha, Violet and Jane White, sisters-in-law to the brothers Greene.
Neighborhood Church (1972)
1 Westmoreland Pl.
Designed by Whitney Smith, this active, community-minded Unitarian church blends seamlessly into the neighborhood; it is a particularly discreet presence near its distinguished neighbor, the Gamble House.
Gamble House (1908)
4 Westmoreland Pl.
Built for David and Mary Gamble of Proctor & Gamble fame, this home by Charles and Henry Greene is as much famed for its perfectly executed functional interiors as its quietly gracious exterior, which is so beautifully sited on the property. The Greene brothers also designed its furnishings. Make sure to take the tour.
Cole House (1906)
2 Westmoreland Pl.
This Greene & Greene home was under construction when the Gambles were considering their property purchase, and is thought to have influenced them to buy the neighboring property and hire Charles and Henry Greene to design their home.
Alice Millard House (La Miniatura) (1923)
645 Prospect Crescent
Concrete-block construction (perfected in later Wright projects, such as the Ennis House) distinguishes this home, which was built for Alice Millard after the death of her husband, rare-book dealer George Millard. Alice was a rare repeat customer of the irascible Wright, and though the house was plagued by difficulties during construction and remains plagued by problems (like a leaky roof) today, its Mayan-influenced design is acclaimed by many as one of the architect's most interesting residential works.
Hindry House (1909)
781 Prospect Blvd.
The Heineman brothers, Arthur and Alfred, designed this elaborate home without benefit of formal architectural training. A sketch for the entry hall's dramatic stone fireplace is known to appear in a notebook belonging to Charles Greene, but it was not built to his specifications. The house is now on the market.

Lower Arroyo Seco & San Rafael
This pastoral residential area has retained many of its lovely homes, though the elaborate and fanciful Busch Gardens closed in 1937, its 30 acres subdivided and developed with California ranch houses. The famed "Millionaire's Row" on Orange Grove has given way to meticulously maintained condominium complexes, but just to the west, the many stately homes on Grand Avenue are well worth a walking tour. Start on the north end of Grand, at Green Street, walk south to Arbor Street, head west down Arbor and then left (south) on Arroyo Boulevard. Arbor is a steep slope, so some may prefer to drive down the hill before getting back on foot to see the many Arts & Crafts homes along the Arroyo. To get to the San Rafael area, drive across the pretty La Loma Bridge at Arroyo and La Loma. Because the grandest of San Rafael's homes are, for the most part, hidden behind gates and long driveways, it's best to drive through the area with only occasional stops. The brilliant landscaping visible from the street inspires all home gardeners. On your way out of San Rafael, detour south on Avenue 64 to see the Church of the Angels.
Colorado Street Bridge (1912-1913)
Pasadenans love this graceful, curving bridge made of reinforced concrete, and they supported its restoration in the 1990s. The almost-1,500-foot span connects Old Pasadena to the San Rafael hills and Eagle Rock.
Vista del Arroyo Hotel (1920)
125 S. Grand Ave.
This Sylvanus Marston-designed resort hotel was taken over by the federal government in the 1940s for use as a military hospital and is now the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
La Casita del Arroyo (1933)
177 S. Arroyo Blvd.
This modest structure, designed by Myron Hunt at no charge, was built using Arroyo stone and lumber from bicycle tracks built at the Rose Bowl for the 1932 Olympics. Today it is owned by the city and is rented out for parties and weddings.
Batchelder House (1909)
626 S. Arroyo Blvd.
Ernest Batchelder was a famed artisan, producing decorative tiles that became emblematic of the Arts & Crafts movement. Batchelder's kiln remains in the backyard of this lovely home, and the discerning viewer can see examples of his tile work from the street.
Pergola House (1910)
1025 S. Arroyo Blvd.
Remnants of Busch Gardens are incorporated into a home built considerably later.
Wrigley Mansion (1911)
391 S. Orange Grove Ave.
Now known officially as Tournament House, this ornate mansion built for chewing-gum mogul William Wrigley is now home to Pasadena's Tournament of Roses.
Perkins House (1955)
1540 Poppy Peak Dr.
Sited above street level, this small Richard Neutra home is modest, but it's all about the expansive view from inside the house.
Church of the Angels (1889)
1100 Ave. 64
British architect Arthur Edmund Street designed this beautiful church as a memorial to Alexander Campbell-Johnston, the developer of Rancho San Rafael.

Pickup trucks in the Philippines
Pickup trucks are lightweight vehicles with either two-passenger or five-passenger cabins and a separate open top, rear cargo platform. The term sometimes also applies to coupes with the same body make.
The main purpose for pickup trucks is either for hauling or transporting items such as agricultural products. Today, however, they are also seen as a men's road accessory with some pickups sporting a "muscle truck" design such as the Isuzu D-MAX.

Regular cab- a two-door pickup truck with a single row of seats that can accommodate two to three people.
Crew cab- a four-door pickup with two rows of seats that can fit in five to six people. This type of cab style is the most popular.
Cab forward- has its driver seated atop the vehicle's front axle. This type of pickup has drop side doors and is a common build for commercial vehicles.
Bed styles and payloads
Aside from body dimensions and overall ride height, pickups also vary in their cargo bed and payload size. The size of standard bed styles, especially for compact pickups, are 5 feet long and can extend to 6.5 feet for full-size beds.
Pickups also vary on the payload they can carry. Averaged sized pickups can carry around half a ton and some full-size pickups can lug almost two tons. Some models could carry more, such as the 2011 edition of the Ford F-350 which can lift anywhere between 1.5 and 2.9 tons.
Different sizes of pickups
Compact pickups- are considered the most common form of pickup in the world. These vehicles have a regular cab, a gasoline engine with similar powertrain to SUVs, and usually have a leaf spring suspension. (Ex: Nissan Frontier)
Mid-size pickups- are slightly larger than compact pickup trucks, with a higher powertrain and a larger cargo bed. (Ex: Ford Ranger)
Full-size pickups- are the largest classification of these trucks (aside from dual-wheeled pickups). Models under this series have a 4x4 variant and commonly use a live axle and leaf springs on the vehicle's rear suspension. (Ex: Chevrolet Silverado)
Muscle pickups- are performance pickup trucks which offers some of the most powerful engines producing 300 horsepower and above for newer models. (Ex: GMC Typhoon)

Chris Carter led off two innings with home runs, George Springer had one inning-starting long ball and the Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 8-3 on Tuesday night.
Jose Altuve had two hits, two stolen bases and a sacrifice fly. The All-Star second baseman matched Houston's franchise record with 28 consecutive stolen bases without being caught while pushing his AL-leading total to 41. He leads the American League with 126 hits and a .341 batting average.
Houston went ahead to stay with two runs in the first inning off Phil Irwin (0-1) who was making his Rangers debut.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Brad Peacock (3-5) struck out five while allowing two runs and six hits over 5 2-3 innings.
Except for 21 days, and none past mid-April in either of their two seasons since switching leagues, the Astros have been at the bottom of the five-team AL West. After taking the first two of this three-game set, they are within a game of fourth-place Texas, which has lost nine of its last 10 games -- and 17 of 20.

We are a New York City law firm representing personal injury victims for over 100 years. Since our founding we have won over half a billion dollars for clients. Our audience is generally anyone who has been injured in New York but specifically construction workers.

UPDATED 11/30/2017: Please do not just recreate our current site with updated colors and icons for our practice areas. We are looking for a completely different design than what we have now.
A site that is clean, not too cluttered, and projects success. We have ties to the irish community so would like to see some examples with green undertones but also other designs. Softer themes/colors are better than bold/in your face designs.
We pride ourselves as a small, family firm and we treat our clients like family. Many competitors push clients to non-lawyers and don't return phone calls. We don't do that. I don't know how to project that in a design/color scheme etc... but anything that projects a sense of family/belonging/we'll take care of you, etc... is what we're going for.

Colorado Symphony marijuana concerts pass with regulars thanks to cash potential; media overuses puns in reports
One of the more surprising things about the Colorado Symphony Orchestra's recently announced "Classically Cannabis" concerts is just how easily the concept seems to be going down with its long-time supporters.
The CSO's frontline fans tend to be older, 60-plus, even 80-plus, and they're as traditional as fine arts fans come. They dress up for concerts and follow a code of conduct that includes guidelines for everything from the unwrapping of hard candies to the appropriate moments for applause.
But they're not so strict when it comes to introducing marijuana into the experience for some concert goers, especially when it might bring in badly needed revenues for their beloved orchestra.
"If these people want to pay $75 and go to a concert and smoke, that's great. This is going to help the symphony," said Deanna Leino. She's had season tickets for 55 years running and is a veteran with the Colorado Symphony Guild, an organization of 300 culturally and socially connected women and men who provide the thrust for the orchestra's major fund-raising events.

Bosses at British Gas parent Centrica have warned that political intervention and price control threats increase the chance of "the lights going out" in Britain as the group revealed a customer exodus and falling residential energy profits.
New chairman Rick Haythornthwaite said political moves such as Labour leader Ed Miliband's pledge to freeze prices if the party wins power were "immensely damaging" and threatened crucial investment in the country's energy market.
"I think the reputation of Britain as a place in which to invest is under threat and the time to correct that is now, not after the 2015 election, by which time the possibility of the lights going out in Britain will be looming much larger."
He said the warning was not scaremongering, adding: "We've got to restart collaborative, constructive dialogue around these key issues. We cannot afford to wait, hostilities have got to cease."
Centrica reported a "difficult" set of annual figures as it said profits from its residential energy arm dropped 6% to £571 million after rising wholesale prices and a milder winter, which meant households have not had to crank up the heating.
The firm said it lost more than 360,000 gas and electricity customer accounts last year, down 2% to 15.3 million, as households switched to cheaper rivals after it hiked prices by 9.2% on average from November as part of a round of painful winter bill rises across the industry.
The group has shed around another 100,000 accounts so far this year, but said customer switching was "stabilising" after scaling back its price rise by 3.2% following a shake-up of the Government's so-called green levies on bills.
British Gas said it was "confident we can go back to customer growth", helped by the recent launch of new fixed price deals.
Across the group, operating profits were 2% lower at £2.7 billion last year.
Critics rounded on the group despite the drop in earnings, with shadow energy and climate change secretary Caroline Flint attacking "profits on the back of spiralling bills for hard-pressed consumers".
Lobby groups called for regulators to deliver better competition in the market and consider a full-scale investigation.
Adam Scorer, director of Consumer Futures, said: "A nger won't help consumers, only action to reduce their exposure to rising prices will."
"Ofgem needs to deliver vigorous competition in the market - or refer it to the Competition Commission if it cannot. And consumers should use their anger as a prompt to shop around for a better deal or make their homes more energy efficient," he added.
Centrica's shares have plunged by more than a fifth since the autumn following Labour's price freeze pledge, with the stock driven down further after Energy Secretary Ed Davey recently called for a full inquiry into the energy market that could see British Gas broken up.
In a letter, Mr Davey urged competition authorities to "think radically" as they consider whether to launch a probe.
He has raised concerns over Centrica's dominance in the gas supply market, querying why its margins were several times higher than for electricity, and claiming consumers could save £40 a year if they were brought in line.
British Gas revealed profit margins for its gas business stood at 8.9% in 2013 - far higher than the 0.8% electricity margin.
But outgoing finance director Nick Luff denied the group was taking advantage of its market leading position.
He said: "Scale does give us an advantage in terms of costs, which means we can offer good service and prices to our customers, but it doesn't give us an advantage that means other suppliers can't compete with us."
The group claimed on a dual fuel basis, its margins were competitive in the market and said two-thirds of its customers were on dual fuel tariffs.
Mr Luff said the firm "can't make promises" over prices for the year ahead, but added it would look to keep tariffs "as low as we can for as long as we can".
It said this year's milder winter weather was likely to see bills come down by 9% or 10% as households use less energy to heat their homes.
Centrica's results showed that higher wholesale prices and unseasonably warm weather at the end of last year saw British Gas suffer an 18% slump in operating profit in the final six months of 2013, which offset a better start to the year.
But it defended its right to make profits, saying that for every £1 made in profit, it invests almost double that amount in securing future energy supplies - building power stations and wind farms, as well as buying gas from abroad.
In a move to calm mounting public anger over rising energy bills, chief executive Sam Laidlaw has already said he would donate his annual bonus - worth a potential £1.7 million - to charity.
The group remained tight-lipped on reports that it was lining up candidates to replace Mr Laidlaw.
While he has not officially confirmed departure plans, it is widely believed he is preparing to call time after nearly eight years at the group.
Mr Haythornthwaite, who replaced Sir Roger Carr as chairman last month, said he was looking at long-term succession planning, but added Mr Laidlaw was "doing a great job for this company".
The group is still searching for a replacement for Mr Luff, who announced plans to leave last month.
Regulator Ofgem said Centrica's results showed consumers have been "voting with their feet" over price rises.
A spokesman said: "Nearly two million consumers are now with independent suppliers and several of the big suppliers are seeing customers leave them in large numbers.
" However, Ofgem wants to ensure that every aspect of the market is as competitive as possible - that is why we are also reviewing the state of competition in the energy market together with the Office of Fair Trading and Competition and Markets Authority and are looking to make it easier for independent suppliers to compete against the Big Six."

View: Photo Galleries of Hermanus
This picturesque seaside town has a proud history dating back to the early 1800's when a man named Hermanus Pieters followed a path etched into the ground by a herd of elephants. Hermanus Pieters was a travelling teacher and shepherd who, growing tired of his locality, decided to pack up and explore somewhere new. He wandered south of his home village, Caledon, followed the elephant trail and ended up next to the sea. Here he discovered a fresh spring and good grazing for his livestock and thus decided to set up camp. The beautiful settlement became known as Hermanuspietersfontein.
This heritage lives on today with the original homesteads proudly scattered throughout of the village. Museums chronicle the history of those brave pioneers each having its own fascinating story to tell.
