May 30, 2014 -- Two recent UCLA School of Law graduates, Erica Carroll '14, a graduate of the David J. Epstein Program in Public Interest Law and Policy, and Julia High '14, have been awarded prestigious Equal Justice Works Fellowships to pursue post-graduate public interest projects.
Erica Carroll, a student in the joint J.D./M.S.W. degree program, will work with the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice, providing comprehensive family law services and education to pregnant and parenting foster youth in order to enable them to retain custody of their children and break the intergenerational cycle of foster care. Carroll worked with the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice through the Jesuit Volunteer Corps before coming to UCLA to pursue her graduate studies, and throughout her time at UCLA, she has been singularly devoted to working with children and adolescents. While here, she worked with The Alliance for Children's Rights and the Children's Law Center as a summer law clerk and with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and Occupational Therapy Training Program as an MSW student intern.
Julia High will work with Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, advocating for youth with mental health disabilities to ensure that they have access to necessary mental health services, education and support services. While at UCLA Law, High worked as an extern or law clerk with the Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law, Legal Advocates for Children and Youth, a project of the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, and the Lanterman Special Education Legal Clinic. She also volunteered with the Public Counsel's Education Rights Clinic, served as a Board Member of the Education Law Society and was a law student monitor with the LAUSD Parent Engagement Monitoring Project.
Launched in 1992, the Equal Justice Works Fellowship Program is the largest postgraduate legal fellowship program in the country. Fellows work on two-year projects they designed with nonprofit organizations, targeting the most crucial needs of the communities they serve. The fellowships are privately funded by the generous support of law firms, corporations, foundations, and individual donors.

Social determinants of health that influence the healthy living process in a vulnerable community (2016)
Objectives: to identify the errors in daily intensive nursing care and analyze them according to the theory of human error. Method: quantitative, descriptive and exploratory study, undertaken at the Intensive Care Center of a hospital in the Brazilian Sentinel Hospital Network. The participants were 36 professionals from the nursing team. The data were collected through semistructured interviews, observation and lexical analysis in the software ALCESTE®. Results: human error in nursing care can be related to the approach of the system, through active faults and latent conditions. The active faults are represented by the errors in medication administration and not raising the bedside rails. The latent conditions can be related to the communication difficulties in the multiprofessional team, lack of standards and institutional routines and absence of material resources. Conclusion: the errors identified interfere in nursing care and the clients' recovery and can cause damage. Nevertheless, they are treated as common events inherent in daily practice. The need to acknowledge these events is emphasized, stimulating the safety culture at the institution.
Objective: to understand the meaning of the Adult Intensive Care Unit environment of care, experienced by professionals working in this unit, managers, patients, families and professional support services, as well as build a theoretical model about the Adult Intensive Care Unit environment of care. Method: Grounded Theory, both for the collection and for data analysis. Based on theoretical sampling, we carried out 39 in-depth interviews semi-structured from three different Adult Intensive Care Units. Results: built up the so-called substantive theory "Sustaining life in the complex environment of care in the Intensive Care Unit". It was bounded by eight categories: "caring and continuously monitoring the patient" and "using appropriate and differentiated technology" (causal conditions); "Providing a suitable environment" and "having relatives with concern" (context); "Mediating facilities and difficulties" (intervenienting conditions); "Organizing the environment and managing the dynamics of the unit" (strategy) and "finding it difficult to accept and deal with death" (consequences). Conclusion: confirmed the thesis that "the care environment in the Intensive Care Unit is a living environment, dynamic and complex that sustains the life of her hospitalized patients".
Gender disparities in German home-care arrangements An ageing population correlates with rising needs for long-term care (LTC). Support programmes should con- sider the specific needs of the various subgroups of care dependents and family caregivers. The objective of this study was to analyse the gender-specific disparities in home-care arrangements in Germany, and for this pur- pose, survey and insurance claims data were used. A sur- vey of 2545 insured care recipients with high-level care needs was conducted in 2012 with the Barmer GEK, a major German statutory healthcare insurance. Insurance claims data were provided for a follow-up, focussing on the group aged 60 years and older. For statistical compar- ison, chi-squared test and t-tests were used, and a p- value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Most care recipients are female, and they are on average 2 years older than males. Men receive family care mostly from their wives, whereas widows frequently live alone and receive care from daughters, sons, other relatives, neighbours and friends, as well as from professional nursing services. Furthermore, women more often antici- pate the need for (further) professional assistance and move in with a relative or to an assisted living facility or a nursing home in good time. The desired rate for reloca- tion to a nursing home was higher than the anticipated, and during the 6-month follow-up, the actual rate of relocations was in between both. In summary, the caring situation of men and women is different. Care-receiving men are most often cared for by their wives. Widowed women need a social network and their children in order to remain in their own home. To provide better home- care arrangements for women in this situation, the fam- ily and social networks need a stronger focus in politics and research. To stabilise the home-care situation of men with high-level care needs, their wives need more support.
Aufgrund des demografischen Wandels und andauernden Fachkräftemangels werden alternative Versorgungsformen wie Präventive Hausbesuche (PH) benötigt. PH reduzieren die Gefahr von Pflegebedürftigkeit und ermöglichen somit älteren Menschen möglichst lange in ihrem Zuhause wohnen bleiben zu können. Das Ziel dieses Forschungsvorhabens ist die Akzeptanzanalyse PH und Messung des Effekts auf den Verlauf des Gesundheitszustands. In der Mixed-Methods-Studie werden PH als pflegerische Intervention Menschen angeboten, die zwischen 65 und 85 Jahre alt sind, Deutsch verstehen und sprechen, nicht pflegebedürftig im Sinne des SGB XI sind und in der Samtgemeinde in Niedersachsen wohnen, in der das Projekt durchgeführt wird. Die Stichprobe umfasst 75 Personen. Erwartet wird, dass die Studienergebnisse das bisherige Wissen über das Konzept der PH ergänzen.
Which need characteristics influence healthcare service utilization in home care arrangements in Germany? (2014)
Background: We see a growing number of older adults receiving long-term care in industrialized countries. The Healthcare Utilization Model by Andersen suggests that individual need characteristics influence utilization. The purpose of this study is to analyze correlations between need characteristics and service utilization in home care arrangements. Methods: 1,152 respondents answered the questionnaire regarding their integration of services in their current and future care arrangements. Care recipients with high long-term care needs answered the questionnaire on their own, the family caregiver assisted the care recipient in answering the questions, or the family caregiver responded to the questionnaire on behalf of the care recipient. They were asked to rank specific needs according to their situation. We used descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Results: Respondents are widely informed about services. Nursing services and counseling are the most used services. Short-term care and guidance and training have a high potential for future use. Day care, self-help groups, and mobile services were the most frequently rejected services in our survey. Women use more services than men and with rising age utilization increases. Long waiting times and bad health of the primary caregiver increases the chance of integrating services into the home care arrangements. Conclusion: The primary family caregiver has a high impact on service utilization. This indicates that the whole family should be approached when offering services. Professionals should react upon the specific needs of care dependents and their families.

Teacher saves student by donating kidney
CLEVELAND An Ohio girl is recovering after getting a critical kidney transplant with the organ donated by her former kindergarten teacher.
Nicole Miller, an 8-year-old first-grader at Mansfield Christian School, got the kidney last week from Wendy Killian, who was her kindergarten teacher last year.
"See you soon, sweet girl," Killian told Nicole just before they both taken into the pre-operation area last week, The Mansfield News Journal reported.
Nicole suffered from a genetic disorder that caused kidney malformation and other problems. Kidney problems left her frequently tired, and caused her to miss school often.
"For her to be able to feel good and not live in a fog because her body's not able to dispose of waste properly ... seeing what she's going to be like is the exciting part for me as a parent," said Brian Miller, her father.
"The next six months will be the most difficult," he said. "After six months, things can settle in, and hopefully we can really see what her life is going to be like."

- Rare Disease Day puts spotlight on 30 million Americans
Killian became involved during a parent-teacher conference with Nicole's mother. The teacher asked for the criteria needed to be a donor and found she met them. She said she was inspired to be a donor because her son needed and received a blood platelet transfusion a few years ago.
Killian's husband, Stu, supported her decision, which she talked through with him.
"I thought it was a great thing to do," he said. "God puts you in certain situations for a reason."
Lifeline of Ohio reports that someone in Ohio dies every 48 hours while waiting for a transplant; more than 2,000 have died in that situation in the past decade.
The transplant happened April 23 at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland.
Nicole's mother Letitia said receiving a new kidney from someone she knew was helpful.
"She's been excited about the thought of getting a new kidney," she said. "The thought of being in the same room with Wendy was really comforting to her."

Oh, I'm sorry to read about this, Andrea. This page is quite helpful:
If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. You may have to register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed.
Recently, my cousin's siberian husky gave birth to three cute puppies -- that dog is always angry after giving birth to her paws. She tends to bark on anyone especially at night, she also hates it when you go near the basket where her babies rest. She even bite Mom, which makes us worry. I don't know if it is hormonal imbalance as what they refer it to us human -- I feel like it isn't safe going near her anymore especially for the kids.
Oh, I'm sorry to read about this, Andrea. This page is quite helpful:
It's most likely just the way she is, over protective mother, some dogs are just more protective of their pups.
My mum who's a dog breeder has had a couple like this, after a few weeks, when the pups are older, the mother tends to calm down.
Ferrent (ferret parent/owner) to Nancy, Jimmy, Willow, Watson, Smokii, Slynkee, Sherlock and Scylla the EU polecat hybrid.
Come and see what they're up to here - https://www.youtube.com/c/FrolickingFerrets
RIP Florence, Jasper, and Bandit the eu polecat.
This is actually pretty normal for a mother dog. They do not like too much action around where their pups are. They don't like too many people coming and going, fussing over their pups, handling them....and don't trust children one bit (usually!)
The mother and pups may need a quiet space somewhere, in a place where there isn't too much noise and 'traffic' in and out.
But there should be one human whom they will trust, and allow to touch the pups. That could be important perhaps, say if one of the pups became ill, or needed special attention. Also it helps to socialise the pups to human contact.
It is a natural mother's instinct. She is just doing the job God gave her. She is not to be blamed. But as I said, she should trust and allow one human near them. Someone who has a strong bond with her and who is calm and respectful with her and her young ones.
This will change, as Frolicking Ferrets said, when the pups are older and she begins to weary of them a bit.
awwww so cute... more puppies means more love....:) can I have a puppy :)
I love animals especially dogs and puppies... :)

|Maniola (1)
The meadow brown is a common butterfly. It is dark brown in colour with an eye-spot on each forewing. Females can be distinguished from males by the presence of an orange colouration on the forewings. In both sexes, the underside of the wings are paler in colour (2). The caterpillar is yellowish-green with a dark green underside, and is covered in long white hairs. A yellowish-white line passes along each side and the tail tapers into two whitish projections (3).
The meadow brown is a univoltine species, which means that one generation is produced a year (3). The adults are on the wing from early June to late October, and females lay eggs either on blades of grass or in vegetation close to grasses (4). The eggs hatch after around three weeks and the caterpillars feed throughout the day, retreating down into the grasses in spells of cold weather (3). They overwinter among the grass stems and feed at night the following spring (4). The pupae are attached to grass stems during May, and adult butterflies emerge in around a month, starting the whole cycle once more (3).
Widespread and common in Britain but absent from Shetland. It becomes more of a coastal species in the north of its range (4). Elsewhere, this butterfly is found throughout Europe reaching east to Asia Minor and Iran (4).
As the common name suggests, this butterfly was once closely associated with meadows. It is also found in downland, woodland rides, heaths, road verges and waste ground and is also found in urban habitats including gardens, parks and cemeteries (3) (4).
Not threatened (4).
Although this species is not threatened at present, populations have decreased in areas where agricultural intensification has taken place. Furthermore, the extent of hay meadows in Britain has declined massively, and the species cannot survive in areas where excessive grazing occurs (4).
Conservation action has not been targeted at this common species.

Seahawks Notebook: Owens' catch impresses teamates
T.O. gives Seahawks a glimpse of former greatness
It took awhile, but Terrell Owens showed folks a glimpse of why the Seattle Seahawks gave the 38-year-old an opportunity to make the team's final roster.
Russell Wilson connected with Owens on a 40-yard reception down the right sideline in the third quarter. Owens made a Willie Mays, over-the-shoulder, basket catch to reel the ball in, with Kansas City defensive back Jacques Reeves clinging to him.
Owens' catch was greeted with enthusiasm on the Seattle sideline, including safety Earl Thomas, a Dallas Cowboys fan who watched Owens play growing up in his native Texas.
"He's on our team now," Thomas said. "He's been making great plays in practice, and it's good to see him translate that to the game. I know he has a lot of people watching him and criticizing him. So it's just great for him to get his first catch out of the way so there won't be so much pressure on him."
Owens got time with the starters and the Seattle's second unit. He was targeted three times, and finished with two catches for 41 yards. That performance came after being targeted five times against Denver last week, but finishing without a catch, including a drop on what would have been a 46-yard touchdown catch from the arm of quarterback Matt Flynn.
Wilson echoed Thomas' comments about Owens getting his first catch out of the way.
"Obviously he has tremendous confidence and ability in what he can do," Wilson said. "Now he shows us this everyday in practice, and the same with the rest of the receivers as well. And so he has an ability to get down field and make some catches, and obviously he did tonight. And that was huge for him."
Flynn out for opener?
Seattle head coach Pete Carroll did not rule out Matt Flynn's availability for the team's regular season opener in two weeks at Arizona, saying the LSU product had an elbow injury.
Carroll said that Flynn will be evaluated further over the weekend, but he did not know if he will receive a Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to help further diagnose the injury.
Carroll referred to the injury as similar to tendonitis.
"This is the first time ever," Carroll said about the elbow injury. "We have no background on it all. There's been no experience with him. He has no experience with having a sore elbow.
"He did improve a little bit from when it first flared up. We'd thought he'd be able to throw today and play. And he thought so, too. But when he got out there he just couldn't. So we held him out, and we'll go to next week and see what happens."
Asked how serious the injury is, Carroll said the he does not have a time table on the injury, and the team will have to wait until they receive more information.
Flynn watched the game from the sideline in street clothes.
Tate bobs and weaves
Golden Tate has been waiting to make a big play this preseason. And the third-year pro got his opportunity in the second half, returning a punt by Kansas City's Dustin Colquitt 92 yards for a score.
Tate hit the right sideline, picking up a good block from receiver Charly Martin and linebacker Kyle Knox before weaving his way through the defense for the final 20 yards.
"I think I set up one block, and the rest was a cake walk," Tate said. "I was just down the sideline with no one around."
Carroll said the team put a lot of the players that are going to be in on special teams during the regular season in the lineup during the opener so they could get a better look at those core special teams units.
Seattle safety Chris Maragos suffered a shoulder injury in the second half. Defensive lineman Greg Scruggs injured his hamstring in the first half and did not return. Cornerback Brandon Browner had cramps in his calves and had to leave the game. ... Seahawks who did not play because of injury or rest include running back Marshawn Lynch (back), cornerback Walter Thurmond (leg), defensive back Roy Lewis (knee), cornerback Ron Parker (knee), linebacker Allen Bradford (hip), linebacker Matt McCoy (knee), linebacker Malcolm Smith (hamstring), offensive lineman John Moffitt (elbow), offensive lineman James Carpenter (knee), tight end Cameron Morrah (toe), receiver Doug Baldwin (hamstring), defensive end Jason Jones, (knee) receiver Ben Obomanu (neck) and defensive tackle Pep Levingston (knee).

Study after study has shown that an uncomfortable physical environment not only creates bodily discomfort, but it can also bring about significant mental stress. Prolonged standing or sitting, poor light and an improperly positioned chair are some examples of situations that can generate stress by causing muscular pain, headaches and insomnia. Repetitive stress injury in computer operators and others is the most rapidly growing workers comp claim for job stress and a frequent cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. Ergonomics seeks to prevent injury and reduce stress brought on by these conditions through the creation of comfortable environments in which to work and rest. Using furniture and appliances that conform to your body causes much less stress than forcing your body to conform to uncomfortable items that just do not work. Through technology and design, the ergonomic items in this section can have a positive effect in reducing the physical and mental stress that your own surroundings may cause.

Astros set to discuss future of Porter's coaching staff
HOUSTON -- Don't be surprised if there are at least a couple of changes to the Astros' field staff for next season.
Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow lauded the staff Saturday for its efforts in the first year of manager Bo Porter's regime and said any possible changes to the Major League staff or Minor League staffs would begin getting discussed Sunday.
"I think they did a good job, given all the challenges we had in front of us this year," Luhnow said. "There was a lot of effort and a lot of hard work put into it. The results weren't what they wanted, but each man contributed what they could."
Porter said it wouldn't be fair to discuss any staff changes until the end of the regular season.
"Jeff and I will sit down as soon as the season is over," he said. "Jeff told the rest of the staff in the meeting [Saturday], he said by the middle of next week we'll touch base with everyone and let them know exactly what we're thinking."

In the wake of strong ratings for its post-Super Bowl preview episode, FOX will premiere the new animated series AMERICAN DAD in its new time period (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) on Sunday, May 1, after THE SIMPSONS' 350th episode and before the fourth-season premiere of FAMILY GUY on FOX.
Sunday's post-Super Bowl AMERICAN DAD preview episode garnered a 7.5 rating in Adults 18-49 and a total of 15.1 million viewers. AMERICAN DAD, combined with THE SIMPSONS, out-delivered the Super Bowl's most recent scripted post-show programming (ABC's "Alias" on 1/26/03) by +16% among Adults 18-49 (9.5 vs. 8.2), +56% among Adults 18-34 (11.2 vs. 7.2) and +10% in Total Viewers (19.2 vs. 17.4 mil).
FOX also will air original episodes of THE SIMPSONS at 9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT on three consecutive Sundays, May 1, 8 and 15.
AMERICAN DAD revolves around STAN SMITH (Seth MacFarlane) a CIA agent based in Langley Falls, VA, who is an undisputed weapons expert and proud family man. Stan's wife is the sweet, Edith Bunker-esque FRANCINE (Wendy Schaal), who has carefully hidden her party-girl personality for the sake of the conservative man she loves. Stan is constantly butting heads with his ultra-liberal 18-year-old daughter, HAYLEY (Rachael MacFarlane), who is forced to go through an airport-style security check every time she comes home from a day of Women's Studies classes at the local community college. Hayley's 13-year-old brother is the hapless, geeky STEVE (Scott Grimes), a kid who seems to be on the verge of puberty, but can't quite make it past the squeaky awkwardness. The Smith household is rounded out by two rather unconventional members. There's ROGER (Seth MacFarlane), the sarcastic space alien Stan rescued from Area 51 who lives in the Smiths' attic; and KLAUS (Dee Bradley Baker), a lascivious goldfish with the brain of a German guy � the result of a CIA experiment gone seriously wrong.
This eccentric family full of radically different personalities is just trying to find a way to love and trust each other during these increasingly stressful times. And with a guy like Stan doing his best to make America safer, it's bound to be a hilarious ride.
AMERICAN DAD is a 20th Century Fox Television production. Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman serve as co-creators and executive producers.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: AMERICAN DAD was previously announced to air at 9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT.)

« 19 Year Old Zack Kopplin Challenges Public Funding of Creationist Schools | Main | California Governor Jerry Brown Decries Testing: "Distant Authorities Crack the Whip" »
John Thompson: The Gates Foundation Leapt, Now MET Looks
Guest post by John Thompson.
What would have happened if the Gates Foundation's Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) research had been conducted before the "Billionaires Boys Club's" preferences were codified into law in Race to the Top and the Department of Education's NCLB waiver requirements? How would their final report, "Ensuring Fair and Reliable Measures of Effective Teaching," read if its findings were reported before value-added evaluations were imposed on the nation's schools? Even if the same researchers had used the same methodology and made identical findings, how would that evidence have been presented?
Had the Gates Foundation looked at the evidence before foisting test-driven accountability on states, their prime conclusion might have been rephrased as, "our analysis should give
heart pause to those who have invested considerable effort to develop practices and policies to measure and support effective teaching."
It would be too much to ask for scholars to analyze the policy evidence and then echo the old Gilda Radner skits on Saturday Night Live, "Never mind!"
But, surely the Gates Foundation knows that it is improperly spinning the evidence when it asks the concluding question, "When high-stakes decisions must be made, can these measures support them?" (emphasis mine)
Of course, those measures can be valid and reliable. However, the real world question is how often would those metrics prove to be reliable? How often would those measures drive the unfair firing of effective educator? Systemically, how many unfair terminations can districts make before educators stampede out of schools where it is harder to meet value-added targets? And, how often will value-added lead to more primitive bubble-in instruction and curriculum narrowing?
Similarly, had Gates done the research and identified the relatively better and worse value-added models, maybe they could have avoided the hypocrisy that Bruce Baker describes. Baker explains how districts have already adopted models that are not reliable. But, after pressuring systems to rush value-added into high-stakes decisions, Gates now remains silent about the improper use of its evaluations. So, Baker concludes, "the new Gates findings - while not explicitly endorsing use of "bad" models - arguably embolden this arrogant, wrongheaded behavior!"
As their previous research shows, the MET found little reason to believe that forcing teachers to concentrate on basic skills, to impose rote instruction, to mandate nonstop test prep, and to narrow the curriculum is a viable way of increasing student performance, even on primitive state tests. But, in the three years since the foundation started to help coerce states into high-stakes value-added that is precisely what has happened. And, now, those retrograde policies are codified into law.
The MET got one thing right when it finally observes that "heavily weighting a single measure may incentivize teachers to focus too narrowly on a single aspect of effective teaching and neglect its other important aspects." Had they entered into the study without preconceived notions, however, might the Gates scholars have noticed that teachers aren't the only stakeholders who were incentivized to engage in educational malpractice and wonder whether we were voluntarily driving the joy of teaching and learning from our classrooms? Had they conducted research before engineering a change to state laws, researchers might have also stumbled across principals, districts, and state systems predisposed to mandating the teaching-to-the-bubble-in-test. In the course of conducting research, they might have questioned their assumption that teachers are like Lemmings jumping off the cliff and seen that it is our bosses that are pushing us off by requiring paced instruction in order to cover their own rear ends.
If "reformers" had researched first and made the policy decisions after evidence was gathered, would they have mandated value-added on the eve of implementing Common Core? We can debate the merits of Common Core, but it is hard to see how value-added is not helping to doom that experiment. The MET now finds lower correlations between value-added ratings for teachers on state tests and ratings for the same teachers with the same kids on higher order tests - tests that resemble Common Core assessments. In other words, educators, who are now coerced into teaching basic skills to protect their jobs and their schools' survival, will soon be expected to turn on a dime and teach a college-prep curriculum.
If districts want Common Core to succeed, they now face a number of frightening scenarios. The least-destructive approach would be for districts, having already spent big bucks on statistical models, computer systems, and the rest of the Gates-endorsed rubrics, to put the value-added on the shelve for several years. After there are enough years of Common Core results to put into their algorithms, and if they still wanted to continue the teacher-bashing, they could still fire away. But, that would require a level of patience that contrasts with the corporate reformers' ethos of "fire," "ready," and then "aim." Or, more likely, districts will terminate teachers using the results of very different tests in a statistical model that was not designed for Common Core-type scores.
I would hope that the courts would make sure that districts who take that route pay dearly for that impatience. In fact, I would hope that Gates scholars would seek to testify in court regarding the impropriety of misusing value-added in such a manner.
On the other hand, the foundation provides a valuable service in documenting the common sense conclusion that, "Additional shorter observations can increase reliability. Our analysis suggests that having additional observers watch just part of a lesson may be a cost-effective way to boost reliability by including additional perspectives." Whether those solid conclusions were worth $50 million is their call.
And, were it not for the accountability hawks' Sword of Damocles we could also gain a great deal of insight from the MET's video library of classroom instruction. Above all, we could use student surveys as essential diagnostic tools for setting policy and creating respectful learning environments.
I'm afraid, however, that such findings are too mundane and incremental for billionaires. Apparently, their hubris can only be satisfied by "transformational" theories that produce "disruptive innovation." So, it is no surprise that the Gates scholars now conclude the preferences of Bill Gates et. al were right all along. It takes a lot of convoluted wordplay to make the MET policy findings seem consistent with the evidence, but that is what happens when the big boys act on their whims.
What do you think? Why would we have gambled so recklessly on value-added evaluations before thinking through their policy implications? Wouldn't it have been nice to read an analysis of the MET research that did not have to be shoe-horned into predetermined conclusions?

SWAT team subdues man after 5-hour standoff
A chain-swinging man apparently under the influence of drugs has been subdued by a California SWAT team after a nearly five-hour standoff in a gas station convenience store.
Modesto police arrived at the Shell station Sunday evening after someone reported a man armed with a chain was threatening people inside the minimart.
The Modesto Bee ( https://bit.ly/XBuoSw ) says officers managed to get employees and customers out of the store before the man trashed the store by knocking down shelves and breaking bottles.
A SWAT team moved in and arrested the man just before 11 p.m. The man's name hasn't been released.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: Thomaston wins Berkshire League Title over Nonnewaug
Pete Paguaga
@PetePaguaga on Twitter
THOMASTON >> During the week that the great Michael Jordan turns the big 50, Maggie Eberhardt channeled her inner Jordan scoring the last 11 points for Thomaston and leading them to the Berkshire League Championship over Nonnewaug 55-48.
"She showed why she is Maggie Eberhardt," said Thomaston head coach Bob McMahon. "It's no secret anymore."
"We wanted it," said Eberhardt. "My teammates trusted me with the ball at the end."
In the first half, Nonnewaug's star player Katie Burke picked up two fouls early in the first quarter and then one early in the second quarter. Burke sat on the bench for the rest of the half, totaling four minutes of playing time in the half.
Without Burke on the court the Nonnewaug offense seemed lost, and it showed.
Thomaston took a commanding 27-16 lead into halftime.
Nonnewaug head coach Adam Brutting knew that he team wasn't out of it and that they had a chance to make it a game again.
"I have preached two things all year, never quit," said Brutting, "and everything we do, we do it as a team."
The Chiefs definitely didn't quit and even with their top scorer in foul trouble they came out and made it a game again.
The third quarter saw Burke go back into the lineup for the Chiefs and everyone saw why she is one of the best players in the Berkshire League, scoring at will and helping Chiefs not only comeback from 11 points down but helping them take the lead with three minutes left the in the third quarter.
"We knew what was coming with Katie in the third," said McMahon. "We knew she would come out aggressive."
"I knew that I had to make this game mine," said Burke, of her third quarter performance.
Going into the fourth quarter, everything each team had worked for all season came down to seven minutes, with Thomaston leading by one 38-37. Each team was seven minutes away from the championship.
Thirteen seconds into the fourth quarter, Burke took her fourth foul of the game. Taking the wind out of the Nonnewaug bench and giving fuel to the Thomaston fans.
Everyone in the gym thought that with Burke on the bench with 6:47 left in the regular season, Nonnewaug's season was over, except Nonnewaug.
"Sometimes the other girls get over looked because each game different girls step up for us," said Brutting.
That player tonight for Nonnewaug was Jess Fengler. When Burke went to the bench in the first half, the Chiefs offense looked completely lost, but once Fengler got into rhythm the Chiefs marched to the beat of her drum.
"This is something I have come to expect with her (Fengler)," said Brutting. "She's strong and when she got in she got to the basket."
With 3:31 left in the game and Thomaston up one 44-43, Eberhardt hit the biggest shot of the night, a turn-around mid-range jumper that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
"Maggie scores so many big baskets," said McMahon.
"I was so pumped up," said Eberhardt. "But it wasn't over, they could always come back."
But they didn't.
Right after that basket; Brutting brought back Burke into the game.
As Burke came got ready to come into the game, the Thomaston fans were chanting, "we want Katie!" knowing that she was one foul away from fouling out.
"I knew that if we were going to win the game I had to be on the court," said Burke.
But all the time the Chiefs spent coming back had drained them out.
"When you get down, it takes a lot to come back," said Brutting. "We were a little gassed."
Truth is so was Thomaston.
"We were all exhausted, we knew we had to step it up mentally," said Sydney Keith. "Coach was telling us if we really wanted it to go and get it."
"We were on empty," said McMahon. "So I said screw it, here we go."
That is exactly what the Golden Bears did, it also didn't hurt that with 38 seconds left up five, 51-46, Burke finally fouled out of the game.
McMahon was not surprised to see Burke play so aggressively even though she had four fouls.
"She's not that type of player," said McMahon.
With Burke out of the game, the title was just 38 seconds away from the Golden Bears.
As the buzzer his zero and the Thomaston fans rushed it the court, swarming the girls at center court, it was over the title was theirs.
"Nonnewaug played great," said McMahon. "This was our goal last year, this was our goal at the beginning of the year and it will be our goal next season."

The web development community in Haskell has recently had a large boost in activity, resulting in a plethora of choices in libraries. As usual, a breadth of options is a double edged sword: you can choose the tools more to your style, but it is harder to find quality tools.
This document is meant to be an up-to-date listing of different libraries available to perform various tasks related to web development. We want to strike a balance here between enough information to make an informed decision, while keeping a good signal-to-noise ratio. As such, for editors, please try to include the following information on each library:
- Name
- Most recent version, and release date
- Link to the code (either Hackage, or elsewhere if not on Hackage)
- A short summary of what the library does. In particular, what makes this library different than others
- Links to more documentation. If there are lots of links, consider creating a separate Wiki page for those links, so as not to clutter this page.
- Links to sample code. Both short snippets and full-scale applications are welcome. Again, create a separate Wiki page as necessary.
- Dependencies on other packages. For example, a web framework should list its choice of templating system, server, etc.
Interfaces provide an abstraction between servers and applications, allowing different servers to be swapped easily.
Current version: Hack 2009.10.30. Released: October 30, 2009.
Hack is a simple interface for applications. Based on Ruby's Rack, it presents a very low barrier to entry. Unlike WAI, it uses lazy bytestrings for request and response bodies, making it easier to use for some. Many backends are available, for numerous backends; simply search hackage for "hack-handler-".
Samples: None.
Dependencies: None.
WAI (Web Application Interface)
Current version: WAI 0.1.0. Released: May 21, 2010.
The WAI is designed to be a type-safe and performant interface. Type safety is achieved by having data types such as RequestHeader, ResponseHeader, HttpVersion, as opposed to simply using Strings or ByteStrings. Performance is achieved by using an enumerator interface, allowing constant-space response construction without needing lazy I/O. Backends available are currently a simple server, CGI and FastCGI. There is also a Snap Framework backend in the works, waiting on some API changes in Snap.
Samples: Basic sample application
Dependencies: None
Current version: Hamlet 0.3.1. Released: June 21, 2010
Hamlet's main goal is to provide you with fully type-safe templates. It uses Haskell's quasi-quoting facilities so that everything is checked at compile time. Unlike using an HTML combinator library, it uses a more intuitive syntax for defining your templates: a Haml-inspired syntax to be precise. It also has support for type-safe URLs, and achieves very high performance by being based on BlazeHtml and performing compile-time optmizations.
Documentation. Sample. No dependencies.

AI and cognitive technology are driving forces behind much of today's innovation. IDC predicts that 40% of all digital transformation initiatives will be supported by AI/cognitive models by 2019. But when it comes to unified endpoint management (UEM), you don't have to wait. IBM MaaS360 with Watson is already using AI/cognitive technologies to improve the way IT and security leaders manage endpoints and mobile devices.
When used in combination, UEM and AI/cognitive make quite the tandem. The IT teams that oversee organizations of all sizes across all industries gain an intelligent advantage that results in cost savings, reduced complexity and productivity boosts. If your mobile device management (MDM), enterprise mobility management (EMM), or UEM solution does not afford this level of intelligence, you are using yesterday's technologies to address tomorrow's challenges.
The power AI/cognitive brings to UEM
When combined with UEM, an AI/cognitive approach pulls from both structured (e.g., a threat intelligence platform) and unstructured (e.g., news, blogs, social media) data sources to deliver enterprise IT teams with actionable intelligence on emerging security threats and opportunities for improvement.
These insights vary across each customer, as they're dependent on the context of the endpoint and mobile environment (e.g., enrolled devices, OS versions, apps deployed). These are delivered in the form of insights, which provide adequate context to understand what happened, what can happen, and what should be done in response.
A real-world example
A cognitive tool contextually evaluates a customer's endpoint environment, comparing it to information that's externally available from thousands of unstructured and structured data sources. It automatically discovers that 10% of Android devices are missing the latest security update. An IT team receives an insight on their dashboard that alerts them about the small percentage of enrolled devices that need attention. Not only do they discover that their Androids require an update, they're able to learn more about the vulnerability—and best practices for responding. With just a few quick clicks, they're able to see which devices are affected, apply the needed update, and get on with their day.
Without cognitive capabilities, the IT team would have had to discover this on their own, a time- and resource-consuming endeavor. Once discovered, they'd need to research it and determine which devices were impacted. Then they would need to find out how to react. Not to mention—had they not discovered it in time, the vulnerability could have been exploited.
Perhaps the most significant aspect of this example: OS version assessments are just one of many items that IT teams are responsible for on a daily basis. When multiplied, it's difficult to know how many events like this could possibly go unnoticed. Especially by teams that are not 100% dedicated to administering mobile devices. One thing is for sure, working in an ever-evolving technological world, IT could sure use a helping hand to stay on top of it all.
Going beyond the ordinary with cognitive UEM
When compared to run-of-the-mill MDM/EMM solutions, cognitive UEM saves time, strengthens security, helps identify new opportunities and reduces costs—all while delivering smarter and more efficient device lifecycle management.
IBM MaaS360 with Watson is the industry's first and only unified endpoint management solution that empowers its customers with AI/cognitive capabilities. MaaS360 Advisor enables IT teams to discover best practices for user productivity, mitigate potential security threats and obtain general information that is pertinent to efficient operations.
MaaS360 Advisor enables IT teams to discover, understand, assess and act on insights that pertain to all aspects of the endpoint environment. Other organizations must conduct these tasks manually, which consumes considerable time and resources, while opening them up to the potential for undiscovered risks that can negatively impact operations, security or compliance. Administrators gain insights across a wide range of areas to more efficiently manage endpoint operations and security, including:
- Information on upcoming operating system version releases.
- Best practices for security policies.
- Visibility into specific at-risk devices with context surrounding their vulnerabilities and remediation steps that can be taken.
- Mobile app recommendations based on app use and sentiment analysis of the current application catalog.
- Recommendations to facilitate end user notification and education.
Take hold of the future with MaaS360
According to Forrester Research, AI/cognitive computing combined with UEM will drive success in the enterprise heading into the next decade—as organizations of all sizes across all industries will strive to leverage actionable insights and deep analytics to drive competitive advantage. However, with IBM MaaS360 with Watson, there's no need to wait. The future is now. Visit IBM.com/MaaS360 to begin putting AI/cognitive computing to work for your organization's endpoints, end users and everything in between.

Gabrielle Douglas, the first black woman to win gold in the gymnastics individual all-around, will not escape the burdens that the spotlight brings – especially when it comes to the media's portrayal of her family.
To his credit, NBC's Bob Costas highlighted the historic nature of the win in his closing remarks for the evening after it aired. But his analysis of the significance quickly turned to patting a "post-racial" America on the back: "The barriers have long since been down but sometimes there can be an imaginary barrier based on how one might see oneself," he opined. Long down? Imaginary barrier? How one might see oneself?
That's a very odd statement about an expensive sport that continues to be overwhelmingly white. Dominique Dawes blazed the trail in 1996 as the first black athlete (male or female) to win an Olympic medal in gymnastics (she won as part of the US team's golden performance). And until now, few have followed her to compete in the games.
Gabby did imagine herself very differently, even compared to national team coordinator Marta Karolyi, who just six months ago considered her an "average good gymnast."
While the media focused attention on her disappointed teammate, Jordyn Wieber, who didn't make the cut in the all-around competition, Gabby gracefully flew above the razor-thin balance beam, peaking at the right time and in the right place.
Despite the ritual cleansing of America's racial past implicit in Costas's remarks, try as she might, Gabby can't control what others write or say about her. Even as many across the globe have warmly embraced and celebrated her victories, age-old stereotypes about black families have been insinuated in her life story.
Gabby grew up with a "single mother," Natalie Hawkins, we have been told. Such a moniker when attached to African American children typically is seen as a never-married mother, a derelict father, and multiple signs of family dysfunction. Some assume that Gabby's story is no different.
Trudy Rubin, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer on an NPR program in discussing Gabby's achievement offered: "Her father doesn't seem to be in the picture." Based on what verifiable information, I ask?
She also referred to Gabby's host family (Travis and Missy Parton), who took care of her for the past two years while she trained in Iowa, as her "foster parents" – even as she expressed admiration for both families. And yet, "foster parents" is a term usually reserved for caretakers of children who are wards of the state.
Writer Lisa Suhay questioned Ms. Hawkins's choices as a mother. Commenting on how Hawkins conceded to her teenage daughter's desire to move to Iowa to train with coach Liang Chow, Ms. Suhay wrote in The Christian Science Monitor: "It made me ask, 'Who's the parent?'"
But according to Ms. Suhay the silver lining is that Gabby got to trade in her dysfunctional family of origin: "Perhaps the stability and not just the coaching is what this child really needed coming from a home where her mother, who according [to] the Virginian-Pilot divorced the same man twice and has struggled on disability to provide for her needs."
Negative stigmas have been associated with black families all the way back to the era of slavery. They have been used as a rationale for oppression and exclusion from many of the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship for as long. Since the late 1970s, the idea that black female-headed households are aberrant family forms that are the source of all the ills that blacks face in society has been especially hard to shake. They not only continue to influence popular attitudes but also impact public policies.
The fact that Gabby's host family is a white two-parent household rarely goes unspoken. The host family appears to be loving, generous and genuinely adoring of her. This makes insidious comparisons to her biological family all the more unfortunate. It continues a tradition of seeing black kids as functioning best under white surrogacy and tutelage.
Noticeably absent from most media portrayals of Gabby's family is her father, Timothy Douglas. This is both a failure of basic news reporting to ask questions about him and the resilience of cultural assumptions about black families that suggest the answers are already known.
Timothy Douglas is a staff sergeant in the Air National Guard. He has done three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, starting when Gabby was only nine. She has discussed the challenges of living with the anxiety of knowing her father is in harm's way in a foreign land, explaining that her prayer for his safety is part of her life. The pair have kept in touch by Skype.
He did not make it to the London Games (for lack of tickets, a spokesman for the Virginia Air National Guard told FoxNews.com). But he did attend the Olympic trials in California in June.
The financial and emotional stresses of military deployment on custodial parents and offspring are well documented. In London this week, Gabby said it was "really hard for us growing up" because of her father's absence. "My dad didn't really pay the child support. He was short [on money]." It's a description that could fit many families separated by war and many other families in America.
Whatever may be the tensions between reportedly divorcing parents is not our business to know. But isn't it curious that an active duty soldier would be largely written out of the familial script of his daughter representing her country at the Olympics?
Not so fast Mr. Costas. Gabby Douglas has broken through a racial barrier in sports only to be boxed in by old canards about who she is and where she comes from. The more complex story of her family's influence on her rise on the way to gold deserves to be told.

Further proving the idea that in the future we'll be driving clusters of robots that have grudgingly agreed to drop us off somewhere, Carnegie Mellon University researcher Srinivasa Narasimhan has developed a new smart headlight system that prevents glare in the rain by actively dodging the droplets of water.
Conventional headlights just fling their light forward, in a pattern, but passively, like a can of spray paint. In the rain (or snow), that means a great deal of light gets reflected back to the driver from the rain droplets/snowflakes, and this causes glare and a marked decrease in night visibility. We've all been in heavy rain at night, and know how bad it can get.
Narasimhan's system can track individual water drops, and dynamically aim the beams of light to shine where the system determines the drop won't be. It's sort of the opposite of tracking something with a spotlight. They system uses a camera and an off-the shelf DLP (digital light processing) projector. Currently, the system can react in about 13 milliseconds, but they're working to make the response even faster. Eventually, an array of controllable LEDs would be used for best results.
Even at current response speeds, the headlights eliminate 70-80% of visible rain during a heavy storm, at a loss of only 5-6% of overall illumination. Plus, even if everything goes wrong, Narasimhan has an answer. "If it fails, it is just a normal headlight."
It's not entirely perfect, though.
"Unless it's a waterfall or something that occupies the entire volume in front of the headlight, it should be okay," says Narasimhan, which is bad news for all you night-waterfall driving enthusiats.

The nonbenzodiazepines are comparatively new drugs whose actions are very similar to those of the benzodiazepines, but are structurally unrelated to the benzodiazepines and are believed to have fewer side effects. Thus far three main structural classes of nonbenzodiazepine drugs have been developed (although note that some other orphan drugs also fall into the nonbenzodiazepine category). The three main groups are:
- Imidazopyridines
- Pyrazolopyrimidines
- Cyclopyrrolones
- eszopiclone (Lunesta)
- zopiclone (Imovane)
- pagoclone
- suriclone
- pazinaclone
- suproclone
The first three nonbenzodiazepine drugs to enter the market were the "Z-drugs", zopiclone, zolpidem and zaleplon. These three drugs are all strong sedatives used exclusively for the treatment of insomnia. They have proved to be much safer than traditional sedatives such as benzodiazepines and barbiturates, especially when taken in overdose, and also have less of a tendency to induce dependence and addiction (although these issues can still become a problem with extended use). These advantages have led to the Z-drugs becoming widely prescribed for the treatment of insomnia particularly in elderly patients, in preference to older sedatives.[1][2][3]
However the Z-drugs are not without their disadvantages, and all three compounds are notable for producing side effects such as pronounced amnesia and more rarely hallucinations,[4][5] especially when used in large doses. More rarely these drugs can produce a fugue state where the patient sleepwalks and may perform relatively complex actions, including cooking meals or driving cars, while effectively unconscious and with no recollection of the events upon awakening. While this effect is rare (and has also been reported to occur with some of the older sedative drugs such as temazepam and secobarbital) it can be potentially hazardous and so further development of this class of drugs has continued in an effort to find new compounds with further improved profiles.[6][7][8][9][10]
More recently, a range of non-sedating anxiolytic drugs derived from the same structural families as the Z-drugs have been developed, such as alpidem and pagoclone, and are starting to be marketed. These drugs are again much more selective than the older benzodiazepine anxiolytics, producing effective relief of anxiety symptoms but with little or no sedative or amnestic side effects, and so offer considerable advantages over the older anxiolytic drugs, however they are still new to the market and have not yet been widely prescribed.

Please clarify the passage in Matthew 25 concerning the ministering work of the righteous to "the least of these my brethren" and how it relates to Christians doing good works to all people and not just fellow believers. I have also pondered Hebrews 13:1-3 as a correlating passage, but this may not be the case.
Thanks for your question regarding Matthew 25:31-46 and it's relationship to the Christian's duty to do good to all people. As I've been reading and re-reading the passage you mentioned, the emphasis seems to fall, not on the responsibility of believers to do good works to all people, but 1) the judgment of the nations at the end of all time and 2) the astonishment of both the sheep and the goats at Christ's evaluation of their service. Notice, first, that before any pronouncement is made concerning good works, those standing before their throne know where they will be sent for all eternity. Sheep are a picture of the people of God (Ps. 24; 100; John 10; 1 Pet. 5:1-5); goats are not. In other words, their home for all eternity has been determined by their identity (those in Christ and those not), not their works. Second, notice the astonishment by both groups regarding the pronouncement of Christ. The sheep are as equally astonished that they had done something worthy as the goats are by the fact that they had not. In the case of the righteous, it is astonishment borne of service that has been gratefully rendered, and then completely forgotten. In the case of the wicked, the expression of surprise is rooted in self-delusion, which is the product of unbelief. In each case, however, what is key is not ultimately what one has done, but whether one is a sheep or goat.
Regarding the passage's relationship to good works toward all, it seems the passage limits such, at least for the sheep, to Christ's "brethren," a term used in the Scriptures for fellow believers in Christ. Perhaps a better passage that calls believers to good works to all men is the one in Galatians 6:10, "So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially those who are of the household of faith." In this passage, though there is a priority of service to those in the church, the call is also to do good to those in the world, regardless of their faith in Christ. Another, of course, is the call to love our neighbor as ourselves (Matt. 22:36-40).
Regarding Hebrews 13:1-3: There is some debate as to whether the "strangers" described there are fellow believers whom one does not know (those travelling through a particular area), or someone regardless of their faith in Christ. In the context, it seems that the first position is more plausible since the exhortation in verse 1 is to "let brotherly love continue." In other words, the writer is emphasizing the communal ministry that believers are to have toward one another.
I hope this helps to clarify things in your mind.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Little Child
1. Softness, silence,
Quiet lies the scene before.
Infant and Virgin in tender stillness lay.
Silence, softness,
'Mid the angels who adore.
Little Child, Holy One,
A world He comes to save.
2. Stable humble,
Savior in a fodder stall.
Christ Child, the Son of God, a promise to fulfill.
Quiet, tender,
All creation stands in awe.
Little Child, Holy One,
Who comes at Father's will.
How can I honor thee,
Precious Little Child?
How can I come to thee,
Someone such as I?
3. Softness, silence,
Quiet lies the scene I see.
Starlight, shepherds, the place is rev'rent still.
Savior, Redeemer,
Oh, what's required of me?
Is it just to come as the Little Child and do the Father's will?

So Ridley Scott decided to cast a dude named Christian to play Jewish superhero Moses in his movie Exodus: Gods and Kings. But if this trailer is any indication, at least the movie won't be deviating from the original book when it comes to showing us the ten badass plagues.
Anybody who has ever been to a Passover dinner knows about the plagues: they include hail, locusts, frogs, boils, rains of blood, etc. There's even an angel of death who kills babies. We're going to get all of that and more in this flick, including Christian Bale in eyeliner fighting the Mummy. If this movie doesn't become a cult classic, I'll guzzle down an entire jar of horseradish with my charoset next year.

[[Category:Little Hangleton]]
Revision as of 19:23, 13 January 2014
- "'S far as I'm concerned, he killed them, and I don't care what the police say. And if he had any decency, he'd leave, knowing as how we knows he did it."
- —Dot on Frank Bryce's actions after the Riddle murders.[src]
Dot was a Muggle woman who lived in Little Hangleton. She knew Frank Bryce since he was a child.
Early life
Dot was born to a Muggle family sometime before Frank Bryce was born.[1] She was probably born in Little Hangleton, since she remembers seeing him when he was a child.
The Riddle Murders
She was one of the many town residents who gathered at The Hanged Man to gossip on the night that the Riddle family was found murdered in their home in 1943. When it was announced that Frank Bryce had been arrested, Dot said she thought Frank had always had a fierce temper, and that she had seen evidence of it when he was a child.[1] The police later released Frank for lack of evidence, but Dot remained convinced of his guilt, remarking that he should leave, as all the villagers of Little Hangleton "knew" he had done it.[1] In all actuality Frank Bryce was innocent, as the one who slain the Riddles that night was Tom Marvolo Riddle.
