I think my parents didn't know what to think of me watching the news back then. That summer, news of the Son-of-Sam taunts and whack poetry were watched by 8 year-old me. I was getting a sense that outside of suburbia, times were bad (Carterian malaise?) and cities were places to fear. When the news broke the next day on the radio about the looting and how NYC was in "anarchy," I remember I was in the kitchen and being amazed that this was occurring. I'm sure my mom explained riots/civil unrest with a leftist, sociocultural bent. I don't recall a 24/7 TV blitz out in California. If there was, we didn't watch it but I wonder if it was on.
I only knew of one person who was in NYC that summer. She was 17, going to summer school, and scared shitless.
- Was anyone in NYC during the blackout?
- If not, do you recall it affecting you?

The beauty of having a men plastic surgery such as liposuction or tummy tucks surgery is in flaunting a flat and smooth tummy. Every plastic surgery, however, has risks. This is no exception. Plastic surgery news has come to shed light on the side effects of plastic surgery tummy tuck.
The surgeon, usually, conducts a thorough medical examination of the patient before deciding to carry out the tummy tucks surgery. The examination factors in the medical history and the surgeon in forms you of the risks you are exposed to. Plastic surgery news has time and again featured these complications, which occur more frequently in smokers. The patient will, as such, have to discontinue the smoking habit in order to raise his chances of having a successful male cosmetic surgery, by preventing delayed healing of the wounds.
Pain is common for all tummy tucks surgery patients, for a few days. It is more acute when a rectus placation has been carried out, in which the muscles are tightened. There is also an amount of swelling that can subside in months. This implies that the plastic surgery tummy tuck requires ample preparation, not just for the procedure but for post-surgery as well. This preparation includes research on recuperation duration, and accurate details can be acquired on the plastic surgery news.
Tummy tucks surgery leaves behind a curved scar above the pubic area, and the size of the scar depends on the procedure carried out. With a competent plastic surgeon performing the procedure, the scar left is as minimal as possible. Sometimes factors like the healing process of an individuals body come to play, resulting in either distinct or faded permanent scars. Even when they are tick, itchy and red, they fade with time but never completely.
Your plastic surgery news research is likely to ready a patient for a few painful months of numbness especially if they have undergone the extended or standard tummy tucks surgery. The procedures tamper with the nerves on the lower abdomen. This is responsible for the numbness experienced below the belly button, until the nerves grow again.
Proper care for the surgical wound is necessary, after the surgery, to prevent infections. The surgeon instructs the patient on proper care measures. More instructions are also found in plastic surgery news. Whenever they occur, an antibiotic treatment is quite effective. When serous fluid collects under the skin, a hypodermic needle is used to drain it during the post-surgery follow-ups. This condition is otherwise known as seroma, and has no effect on the final results.
One of the key reasons for taking to plastic surgery news is to find the best surgeon to perform the tummy tucks surgery. Competence ensures there is only a small, faded scar, instead of the poor scarring that sometimes results as a complication. It is usually red, thick and itchy, and takes lots of months to calm and fade. Competence also prevents asymmetry in the scars on either side of the belly button.
When the poor scarring is severe, a revision surgery is always an option to correct this. It can involve revising the scar, or a minor tummy tucks surgery whereby more skin, especially on the sides, is excised. It means more costs for the male cosmetic surgery, but it eliminates ugly scars.

Requirements are typically classified into types produced at different stages in a development progression, with the taxonomy depending on the overall model being used. For example, the following scheme was devised by the
International Institute of Business Analysis
in their
Business Analysis Body of Knowledge
Visvim Black FBT veggie sneakers shopping online sale online Av18bvTo
(see also cheap low cost Womens Emeril Lagasse Conti Safety Shoes buy cheap release dates choice cheap online cheap footaction buy cheap visa payment 6JAyUIFsie
and Types of requirements ).
The characteristics of good requirements are variously stated by different writers, with each writer generally emphasizing the characteristics most appropriate to their general discussion or the specific technology domain being addressed. However, the following characteristics are generally acknowledged.
LArtiste By Spring Step Porscha Womens Sneakers outlet brand new unisex x9xAPZq1
free shipping brand new unisex Sarah Flint Luisa 100 embellished sandals free shipping fashionable I4C964qa8w
There are many more attributes to consider that contribute to the quality of requirements. If requirements are subject to rules of data integrity (for example) then accuracy/correctness and validity/authorization are also worthy attributes. Traceability confirms that the requirement set satisfies the need (no more - and no less than what is required).
To the above some add Externally Observable, that is, the requirement specifies a characteristic of the product that is externally observable or experienced by the user. Such advocates argue that requirements that specify internal architecture, design, implementation, or testing decisions are probably constraints, and should be clearly articulated in the Constraints section of the Requirements document. The contrasting view is that this perspective fails on two points. First, the perspective does not recognize that the user experience may be supported by requirements not perceivable by the user. For example, a requirement to present geocoded information to the user may be supported by a requirement for an interface with an external third party business partner. The interface will be imperceptible to the user, though the presentation of information obtained through the interface certainly would not. Second, a constraint limits design alternatives, whereas a requirement specifies design characteristics. To continue the example, a requirement selecting a web service interface is different from a constraint limiting design alternatives to methods compatible with a Single Sign-On architecture.
All requirements should be verifiable. The most common method is by test. If this is not the case, another verification method should be used instead (e.g. analysis, demonstration, inspection, or review of design).
Certain requirements, by their very structure, are not verifiable. These include requirements that say the system must never or always exhibit a particular property. Proper testing of these requirements would require an infinite testing cycle. Such requirements must be rewritten to be verifiable. As stated above all requirements must be verifiable.
Linguistic structures are pairings of meaning and form. Any particular pairing of meaning and form is a
. For instance, the meaning "cat" is represented worldwide with a wide variety of different sound patterns (in oral languages), movements of the hands and face (in
geniue stockist clearance newest George Cleverley Reuben FullGrain Leather Wingtip Brogues limited edition sale online SuUqXn
), and written symbols (in written languages).
Linguists focusing on structure attempt to understand the rules regarding language use that native speakers know (not always consciously). All linguistic structures can be broken down into component parts that are combined according to (sub)conscious rules, over multiple levels of analysis. For instance, consider the structure of the word "tenth" on two different levels of analysis. On the level of internal word structure (known as morphology), the word "tenth" is made up of one linguistic form indicating a number and another form indicating ordinality. The rule governing the combination of these forms ensures that the ordinality marker "th" follows the number "ten." On the level of sound structure (known as phonology), structural analysis shows that the "n" sound in "tenth" is made differently from the "n" sound in "ten" spoken alone. Although most speakers of English are consciously aware of the rules governing internal structure of the word pieces of "tenth", they are less often aware of the rule governing its sound structure. Linguists focused on structure find and analyze rules such as these, which govern how native speakers use language.
Linguistics has many sub-fields concerned with particular aspects of linguistic structure. The theory that elucidates on these, as propounded by Noam Chomsky, is known as generative theory or universal grammar . These sub-fields range from those focused primarily on form to those focused primarily on meaning. They also run the gamut of level of analysis of language, from individual sounds, to words, to phrases, up to cultural discourse.
Sub-fields that focus on a grammatical study of language include the following.

, dialogue, and other forms of phonetic variations. Stylistic analysis can also include the study of language in canonical works of literature, popular fiction, news, advertisements, and other forms of communication in popular culture as well. It is usually seen as a variation in communication that changes from speaker to speaker and community to community. In short, Stylistics is the interpretation of text.

Selbu Modern
And, since I didn't have 16-in. Cirs in sizes 1 &2; I just had to go shopping. My husband and my daughter took me to a lovely yarn store called Natural Stitches. I've never been there before and I was so eager to check it out. I wasn't disappointed. This store has every kind of yarn and knitting needle out there. I felt like I died and went to heaven. Yes, my version of heaven has an endless supply of yarn and knitting needles and an endless variety, too.
I went to Natural Stitches and I picked up an Addi Sock Rocket Circular Needle .
I've been using Addi Turbos for years and I love them. The needles are so smooth and just the right amount of sharpness on the tips and the cables never kink. I saw an ad in a magazine for the Addi Rockets, I couldn't wait to try them.
I also picked up a ChiaoGoo Cir. I have no idea how to pronounce their name, but I've always wanted to try them. I love these needles, too! They're just as slick and smooth and sharp as the Addi's.
And, for good measure, I picked up a size 8 Cir Knitter's Pride Karbonz Knitting Needle.
I haven't had a chance to try these out yet.
The sales associate at Natural Stitches was very helpful at helping me find a very nice yarn for this hat, one that didn't break my wallet.
Schachenmayr Baby Wool
This is so soft and so nice to work with. I usually don't like to work with wool yarn, but this stuff just may turn me into a yarn snob. LOL!
I haven't been this excited about knitting or yarn in a long time.

From the article - Christmas may be over, but that doesn't mean you can't still get presents. Although Christmas bonuses may be almost inexistent by now, you can still grab some awesome stuff to gift yourself or your player 2. There are few greater pleasures for a gamer than unboxing a collector's edition and that's why we gathered the best 15 CE for less than $60.00 USD each.
All I can say is Defiance is a fun turd to play with.
Oh, and I'm guilty of buying the Aliens Colonial Marines Collectors Edition because it was under $20 and I thought the statue was cool. Horrid game.

The case in which former Cabinet minister Webster Shamu allegedly lost almost $30 000 to a former employee at his WEBCON High Glen Total Service Station has been deferred to February 28 for commencement of trial.
Willis Nyamusaduka, who was employed as a supervisor at the service station, is being charged with theft of trust property.
The trial failed to kick off on Monday after Nyamusaduka's lawyer, Mr John Ndomene, indicated that he had not been furnished with relevant documents to prepare for his defence.
The magistrate, Mr Francis Mapfumo, postponed the matter to February 28 to allow the State to provide Mr Ndomene the audit report.
Prosecutor Mr Peter Kachirika alleged that between January 2014 and April 2015, Nyamusaduka received cash from fuel attendants and under-banked a total of $29 126 which he converted to his own use.
The court heard that to cover his tracks, Nyamusaduka allegedly destroyed all the bank deposit slips and computer-generated receipts, leaving behind the cash register in which he had endorsed the correct amounts banked.
It is the State's case that the offence only came to light on April 21 last year when Total Zimbabwe, the fuel supplier at WEBCON, advised the company that it was in arrears.
A reconciliation of the cash register, bank deposit slips and computer-generated receipts against a bank printout of the account revealed that the cash register did not tally with deposits made in the Total Zimbabwe bank account.
It is alleged that after the reconciliation was done, it came to light that $29 126, which was endorsed in the cash register, did not tally with deposits made in the Total Zimbabwe bank account.
The former minister and his wife Constance attended the court session.-Herald

It's easy to make and only uses just a few ingredients — all healthy — right from the comfort of your own pantry.
Basically,just add all your items into your blend, and then blend away. I love the added touch of real fresh mint because it gives it that vibrant green color.

Notice — no green food coloring in this shake!
It's healthy, it's refreshing, and I will be making this again and again when I want something cool and sweet.
Skinny Shamrock Shake Recipe
- ¾ cup fat-free vanilla yogurt
- ½ cup almond milk
- 5-6 mint leaves more if you want a more minty taste
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 3-4 ice cubes
Mix all together in a blender and blend until you are satisfied with consistency.

5 Ways to Treat Damaged Hair in Winter Season For That Extra TLC
The freezing temperature of winter can also leave your hair frizzy, static and dry. While the weather may be the main culprit, it's your daily haircare and the mundane things that you do to it that could be making your damaged hair worse.
You should make improvements in your haircare routine as you also take measures to give your hair and scalp a much needed TLC. Here's how:
1. Rinse with Carbonated Water
Product residues and other impurities lining your hair strands may be causing your hair to become unhealthy. No amount of treatment will ever be sufficient if you don't take action to strip off your hair of these impurities first.
Rinsing your hair with carbonated water removes build up. Simultaneously, it also helps bring back the healthy balance of pH, improves frizziness and improves blood and oxygen circulation in your scalp. Simply get hold of carbonated water and wash your hair with it. Instead of using shampoo, try scrubbing your hair with coarse, natural ingredients, like brown sugar, instead. Rinse well.
2. Honey and Avocado Hair Mask. As often as you can, pamper your hair and scalp with this highly moisturizing treatment. Honey is a powerful humectant that attracts moisture and helps keep your hair moisturized over long periods of time. Avocado, on the other hand, contains fatty acids and is rich in Vitamin E which strengthen your hair strands and nourishes your scalp as well.
Simply mash the avocado. Add an equal part of honey. Stir in for consistency. Apply on hair washed with either carbonated water or apple cider vinegar.

3. Mask and Wash Your Hair with Apple Cider Vinegar
Don't use this ingredient on its own. Instead, dilute with an equal part of lukewarm water. Give the solution a quick stir and then pour on your hair as a wash. Comb your hair to distribute the solution evenly. Leave on up to 15 minutes then rinse off with lukewarm water. No need to shampoo.
4. Get a Haircut. Many times, it's all you really need to get the damage under control.

5. Use Coconut Oil to Condition Your Hair
Forget the commercial hair conditioners. Use virgin coconut oil to condition your hair instead. Coconut oil has natural anti-fungal properties that make it a healthier alternative that benefits your scalp as well. It is also capable of deeply penetrating and conditioning your hair strands. Perform either a carbonated water rinse or apple cider vinegar wash first. Follow up with the deep conditioning treatment of coconut oil. Rinse off with lukewarm water. Dry and apply sparingly, particularly at the tips, as a leave-on conditioner.
Heat styling with hot barrels and blow dryers are possibly damaging your hair's outer cuticle. Hot showers and washing your hair everyday are stripping away natural oils from your hair and scalp. When the damage has been done, turn to your kitchen for some of the highly reliable ways to treat winter damaged hair.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the right way" to get back channels. Are you suggesting that SSH has some sort of generic support for agent forwarding? I'm familiar with SSH's authentication agent forwarding (and in fact couldn't get by without it) but it looks to me to be 'baked in' to SSH and in particular the ssh daemon on the target host. I don't think I'd get very far trying to deploy bcvi by requiring a customised version of the SSH daemon on target hosts. Are you aware of some way to configure support for agents other than SSH's own authentication agent?
Is there some functionality you think bcvi lacks that would be made possible by using an 'agent' implementation?

No longer need a walker
Pastor Philip Whiteside prayed for me and I was able to put my walker down and dance before the lord. All the pain and weakness was gone. God supernaturally strengthen my legs and I no longer needed to use the walker.
Couldnt walk without a walker
Last Sunday, teenagers of the church were prayed upon for a stronger relationship with God and for the devil to be divorced from their lives. Somebody prayed over us all for a supernatural uprising in grades. I checked my PowerSchool (grade website) when I got home that night and most of my "F's" were all C's or D's. I'm on winter break, and haven't turned anything in.
My shoulder broke at the humorous and it shifted out of place. Then Pastor prayed and my shoulder got better faster than the doctor said it would.
I could not walk a city block without shortness of breath. I came to PGT one Sunday and I received prayer and was healed, instantly. I walked from 19th market to the Art Museum, more than 6 blocks. I have not had that condition again. God is my healer. Thank God for the prayer of healing from Pastor Whiteside.
I've been feeling pain and discomfort in my right shoulder-rotater cup for several months – especially when I lifted something with weight to it. Pastor Phil prayed for me. It felt like Ben-gay was rubbed on my shoulder and upper arm when he was praying for me. I now have no pain
I had a broken toe split in the middle. I needed a pin to reconnect the bone. It was broke for a week before pastor prayed and then once he prayed within two days the bone reconnected without any pins or surgery.
My mother was in the middle of having a stroke. I called Pastor Philip Whiteside and after he finish praying for my mother ,instantly the stroke stop. The doctor said that the stroke pulled itself back and its gone. My mother was able to go home healed.
My Daughter Azzie bust a tide soap powder packet in her eyes. She got a torn cornea but after pastor prayed her eye was healed. When she went back for a check up the doctor was in disbelief that her eyes was healed already without any sign of damages or scar.
I had an arm shorter then the other. The Pastor prayed for my arm to grow out and my arm grew the same length as the other right before everyone eyes. It was amazing.
Pastor prayed for supernatural weight loss and two days later I lost about 10 pounds
I was healed from cancer after the Pastor Prayed for me
I visit pastor Whiteside church and he prayed for me instantly my ankle felt better. My ankle has been causing me pain since 2004. The doctor told me that my ankle was partially fused. Because of this I was unable to bend and twist my foot. After pastor pray for me I was able to move my foot and ankle. It was such a blessing for me. I really like this church and I plan to come back.

Monkimun is an established developer of preschool apps. Their newest app Monki Home is another great way for young children to not only practice vocabulary acquisition in three different languages, but to also practice some of the familiar routines they see at home. With easy to follow prompts, this app is a go-to activity for young children.
App for iOS - iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch
Monki Home - Language Learning for Kids and Toddlers by Monkimum is an iOS App for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and was created to help preschoolers develop their language skills. With the narration in either English, Spanish, or Chinese, the app focuses on daily household activities. Players get a chance to practice skills in the kitchen, laundry room, bedroom, or bathroom.
Have a look:
How the App Works
As the app was developed for preschoolers, it's very easy to use, with non-verbal prompts guiding children along the way. In each of the scenes a narrated direction is given and is supported by the object flashing or being highlighted so the user knows exactly what is expected of them. Each scene goes through a common household task.
In the kitchen players help make food for a hungry animal. Users must listen and select the right food from the refrigerator, cook it in the microwave, and then feed it to their friend. In the laundry room, players must load the dirty clothes into the machine, hang the clothes to dry, and even iron the clothes. All this while practicing the basic vocabulary found in the laundry room.
The bathroom routine asks kids to follow the steps for brushing their teeth, showering, and drying their hair. In the bedroom, children must help to friends prepare for bed. First, they identify opposites to sort through toys, then they go through the bedtime routine to put their friends to sleep.
What Fun Educational Apps Liked
I really like the Monkimun apps. They're intuitive to use and children love being able to reenact the day-to-day routines they see in the home. I know at our house, my kids really enjoy apps that mimic things they see their parents doing. The three different languages available in Monki Home - Language Learning for Kids and Toddlers are all common languages used in the world today. This, combined with the fact that language acquisition is easier for younger children, makes it a great way to expose our children to new languages.
I also like the step-by-step instructions geared toward our youngest learners. The tasks are familiar and sequential. Additionally, the characters are cute, the sound effects engaging, and the activities fun. I found this app to be reminiscent of several other very popular apps. Monki Home falls right in line with these popular preschool apps and will be a quick favorite in our house.
In a Nutshell
Monki Home is a great app for preschoolers. The structure and routine are excellent for our two and three-year-olds, and the activities continue to be fun for our four and five-year-olds. The vocabulary it focuses on and the skills involved are not only engaging, but fun for our youngest learners.
Monki Home - Language Learning for Kids and Toddlers is available for download via the iTunes App Store - iOS Universal
RRP - Free
At the time of this review, the app had no ads or in-app purchases, and external links, user guides, and the research behind the app is located behind a parent gate.
This app was reviewed by Sarah Emerling, a mom, teacher, and technology coach. She is a self-proclaimed tech nerd and is passionate about technology in education. You can follow her ed. tech. blog at The iLesson Lady.

Movie Overview

It's the hottest fashion show in the world. Victoria Secret's angels were in full sex kitten mode as they sashayed down the runway in the annual Fashion Show in London Tuesday night
Dripping in rubies, diamonds, and sapphires, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio stunned in bras costing a whopping two million dollars each.
Check Out the Angels!
Honorary angel Ariana Grande sparkled in a black bedazzled two piece.
But looked what happened when she sang her hit song "Bang Bang." The slender songstress was nearly whacked in the face by a fluffy pink angel wing.
Grande tweeted: "A Victoria's Secret angel accidentally smacked me in the face with her wings and it was awesome."
Taylor Swift took to the stage for a second year in a row performing in a pink satin number.
Super model Lily Aldridge wore a pair of wings adorned in pink powder puffs.
Aldridge said, "It's the greatest show in the world. You get to be sexy, and have fun."
It took an army of make up artists, hair stylist, and manicurists to make the already gorgeous ladies even more gorgeous. Well done!
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airs on CBS December 9th, at 10 p.m.

Anna, program director, prepares the copies of "Senseless,"
the sparkling cider and her speech for the crowd at the unveiling party
Open Books, Chicago's non-profit literacy center, uses a wide spectrum of programs to teach youths and adults how to read. One of those programs is ReadThenWrite, an immersive, months-long project in which a group of students read a book together, then write original stories based loosely on one of the themes from that book. Once the kids' tales are finished, Open Books has them printed as a collection, making the students real authors of a real book.
The first semester of ReadThenWrite ended this winter, and Open Books brought its graduates to their bookstore for the unveiling of their just-printed collection of stories. Each writer's tale focused on a world in which the entire population lost one of the five senses; the students decided for themselves which sense their Earth would be without.
They named their collection "Senseless."
Each story takes the shared theme in a unique direction. A few are set in the modern day, others in the future; some involve magic, others military experiments; some take an optimistic approach to humanity coping with the loss of a sense, while others foresaw a dystopian outcome.
...and receiving the copies of the finished product
With sparkling cider in their hands, this group of young writers
is grateful that the world has not lost its sense of taste.
Come to Open Books and read these kids' work — and gain a better "sense" of who the writers behind the stories really are.

Hello All, I am back................I am blessed with Anxiety and Depression. I am not sure which came first, the anxiety and then the depression over the anxiety or the other way around. When the tears start and I don't want to leave home then I have to work really hard with the depression.
I think it is very common to have a combo of both.
Take care,Kitt
Nice to see you back. Hope your weekend was enjoyable.

Nearly a decade and hundreds of miles separate Penn State from the clergy sex abuse scandal that erupted in Boston's Roman Catholic archdiocese then spread nationwide, but those who lived through the church crisis see painful parallels.
At Penn State, school administrators, including a beloved coach known for his integrity, didn't notify prosecutors when they learned years ago that former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky had been accused of molesting children. In the Archdiocese of Boston, the case of one predator priest led to revelations that for decades church leaders had moved guilty clergy among parish assignments without alerting parents or police.
Both cases have had consequences for administrators.
Boston's Cardinal Bernard Law wound up leaving his post and, on Wednesday, Penn State President Graham Spanier and coach Joe Paterno were fired.
Failing to act thoroughly on abuse allegations has happened in organizations ranging from the Boy Scouts to elementary and high schools _ even when the molestation occurs within families. Still, Boston-area Catholics can't help but see some similarities between what they went through and what the Penn State community is suffering now. How could such respected leaders fail to take swift action to protect children?
"The sort of instinct to protect the institution is very similar. And of course, in both cases, it backfires horribly. If your idea was to avoid a scandal, you sure failed," said Phil Lawler, who wrote "The Faithful Departed: The Collapse of Boston's Catholic Culture."
The scope of the crimes alleged to have taken place at Penn State doesn't nearly match those in Boston, where dozens of priests were accused of abusing hundreds of victims over six decades. At Penn State, Sandusky was indicted on charges he abused eight boys over the course of 15 years.
Still, a couple of Penn State administrators face accusations that echo what was alleged in Boston.
Two Penn State officials, Senior Vice President Gary Schultz and Athletic Director Tim Curley, turned themselves in after being indicted on perjury charges and accused of failing to alert police about abuse complaints. Their lawyers say they're innocent and will seek to have the charges dismissed. Sandusky's attorney also has said his client is innocent.
The indictment paints a picture of administrators who had ample warning about Sandusky but failed to act.
It charges that in 1998, an 11-year-old boy's mother complained to university police after learning that her son had showered with Sandusky, who promised not to shower with any child again and retired from Penn State the next year. The district attorney at the time did not prosecute the case.
The most explosive charge in the indictment says that a graduate assistant saw Sandusky assaulting a 10-year-old boy in the shower in 2002 and told Paterno about it. The coach said he wasn't told specifically what the assistant saw but reported what he heard to school officials.
Sandusky was prohibited from holding youth sports camps on Penn State's main campus in 2002. But he continued to conduct them over the next several years at the university's Behrend satellite campus while also maintaining an office across from the Penn State football team's building until the present day.
Boston attorney Carmen Durso, who's represented numerous clergy sex abuse victims, said the Boston and Penn State cases likely will share a lack of proper accountability for the people who allowed abuse suspects to work with children years later.
"If you're a powerful person in any regard, the rules are different for you," he said. "That's why Cardinal Law just had his (80th birthday) party in Rome, and that's why Joe Paterno is still a hero to people even though he let this go on."
A Penn State spokeswoman did not return a call seeking comment.
Child sex abuse expert Kenneth Lanning, who worked in the FBI for 30 years, said the abuse suspects in Boston and at Penn State share similar profiles as "acquaintance molesters," who have access to children, do good things for them and often are seen so far above reproach that people don't believe even obvious signs that something is wrong.
He said institutions such as Penn State and the Boston archdiocese also have similar profiles, as successful and respected organizations, with strong motivation to preserve their reputations. That can lead to bad decisions to avoid negative publicity, even if there's no malicious intent, he said.
"Any youth-serving organization can have these problems," he said. "But I think when you have a youth-serving organization that has a certain aura about it, or status about it, then I think there's at least a strong potential that that can influence their decision-making process and how they handle things."

Freeze the extras, or cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate, enjoying them all Valentine's week. Or serve this sophisticated version—inspired by Intermezzo Magazine—to the kids, too.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the butter and sugar until light in texture. Add the egg and liqueur. Beat until blended. On low speed, slowly add the flours, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat until well-blended. Add the milk and beat until smooth.
Drop the batter from a rounded tablespoon onto cookie sheets coated with Teflon™ non-stick, spacing cookies about 3 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the centers of the cakes spring back when lightly pressed. Cool completely before filling.
For the filling: Using an electric mixer, mix all of the filling ingredients on low speed until blended. Then whip on high speed 3 to 4 minutes or until fluffy.
Using a knife or small spatula, spread a generous amount of filling on bottom of a cookie. Press the bottom of another cookie on top of the filling to form a sandwich. Repeat for all cookies. Wrap pies in plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.

Our four electron beam welding machines are equipped with vacuum chambers up to 36" x 36" x 52". Generated by an "electron gun", the stream of electrons travels at up to 60% of the speed of light. Its kinetic energy is converted into extremely high temperature on impact with the workpiece. Because the power density (watts per square inch) is so high, difficult welds can be performed. For example, a two inch thick stainless steel part can be welded with only 6 kw. of beam power.
Established in 1966, Electron Beam Fusion Corp. has earned a reputation for technical expertise in providing the most advanced welding process to industries such as electronics, manufacturing, robotics, food and beverage, mining, automotive, agricultural, and machine tools.
Our electron beam fusion process allows minimal part distortion, pinpoint welding accuracy, multiple tier welds, large weld depth to width ratio and joining of dissimilar metals without filler materials.
Electron Beam Fusion Corp. can provide many practical and economical solutions to producing complex workpieces. Simplified machining processes and savings of expensive highly stress-resistant materials allow competitive production of complex components....

'You lie'
I saw most of the speech last night, but not all. I did catch Rep. Joe Wilson completely berate our President by shouting out "You Lie!" while he was explaining that illegal immigrants would not receive free healthcare under this reform.
Now, I have to wonder how much of this might be racially based. Coming from South Carolina – and excuse me for generalizing an entire state here – but South Carolina is known for being a hot bed of racial tension. A white man from the south just called our black president a liar, in public, on camera while he was addressing Congress, and this is an outburst that has never been done before.
"CNN: Never has any member of Congress shown such disrespect for the president during a speech," Fowler wrote. "One would think that as a member of the military, Joe Wilson would have more respect and patriotism than he displayed tonight. When Congressman Wilson insulted President Obama, he also insulted the American public. Joe Wilson is a poor example of a statesman and an American. He owes an apology to the president and the American people."
This to me screams "White Privilege". Of course, I could be making a big deal out of nothing, but I have to wonder…
Quick Hit: Please read this great article on why the term "illegal alien" brings images of very bad things to the more conservative minded Americans and those whose families have been in America for so long that they forgot their families actually came from other places of the world (unless you're Native). Here's a quick quote of why it's actually a very negative term:
If you can classify a whole group of people with a pejorative –alien –and then group them as "illegal," you have carried out a neat trick: you have stripped a whole group of people of their humanity. Once dehumanized, any ill-treatment is judged by lesser standards, perhaps less moral than ones we apply to animals.
Just a quick something to think about.
Sex & the City review
I went to watch Sex and the City Sunday, and I've needed a couple of days to absorb this. The movie is great, as far as entertainment value goes, but I had some issues. Firstly, the movie is incredibly stereotypical. The Latin boy in the movie was the typical hot, sexy, Latino, and I have serious issues with how they totally objectified this guy. It was about the pieces of him, not the whole of him that they were focusing on and I feel that if it shouldn't be done to women, than why do that to men? Equal treatment is just that and neither side should complain about being objectified. I understand that this characters main focus was his sex appeal and it was all about Samantha wanting him, but lusting after him and "wanting" him the way they portrayed him was just not copacetic.
On to another topic…The only black girl on this film had a strong resemblance to your typical "Mammy" persona, but not as asexual as a Mammy would be. It seems to me that when it came to typical race roles, those were all in place in this movie. The Latino was over-sexualized, the black girl played a "Mammy" role taking care of Carrie and getting her life in order as her "assistant", which that term to me on it's own speaks of being a servant -I should be one to talk since my job title holds the same term in it and I swear I'm treated like a servant on a daily basis with just as little pay.
What I found seriously flawed in the movie was how they portrayed the "victims" in the movie. I'm going to try really hard not to give anything away while I explain this, but I don't know that I'll be able to. The roles that took place in the movie where forgiveness had to be rationed I though was completely biased. In true life people would not be as forgiving, and it almost seemed as if they had this "you have to forgive me because I'm the man" attitude about the whole thing that I just didn't appreciate. Even after everything that had been done to the girls it seems as if the "make-up" was a little too much like Snow White where her Prince had finally come to rescue her.
At the end of the movie, I knew what was going to happen but I was hoping that Carrie would stick to her independent guns and tell him to fuck off. She'd been burned by Big so many times that it was about time she told him to go screw himself and yet she didn't and he came and swept her off her feet again without much effort on his part and they lived "happily ever after".
Ring a bell?
These girls are supposed to portray the strong, independent, I-don't-need-shit-from-guys New York Girls, and yet they all get swept off their feet by these Prince Charming personas where the men themselves were really flawed in what they did to them from the get go that it really just didn't seem right to me that they should even come close to playing a Prince Charming role or that this role even existed at all in this movie. If it had been the women that had wronged these guys the men wouldn't have been as forgiving. One good example was from the HBO episodes where Carrie cheated on Aiden with Big and he never forgave her for it. That was basically the downfall of that relationship. Why then does Miranda have to forgive Steve for doing the same thing? Why is she pushed by all her friends to forgive him and go back to him? Was there really more at stake in that relationship than with Carrie's?
In the end though, it honestly was a pretty entertaining movie. I just wish that women weren't always victims and weren't always expected to forgive men of their indiscretions and mistakes when the same wouldn't be true if it were the other way around.
Any thoughts??
Jena 6
I just found out about some serious racial issues going on in Jena, LA. Here's the story from Color of Change:
Last fall in Jena, Louisiana, the day after two Black high school students sat beneath the "white tree" on their campus, nooses were hung from the tree. When the superintendent dismissed the nooses as a "prank," more Black students sat under the tree in protest. The District Attorney then came to the school accompanied by the town's police and demanded that the students end their protest, telling them, "I can be your best friend or your worst enemy… I can take away your lives with a stroke of my pen."1
A series of white-on-black incidents of violence followed, and the DA did nothing. But when a white student was beaten up in a schoolyard fight, the DA responded by charging six black students with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
The noose-hanging incident and the DA's visit to the school set the stage for everything that followed. Racial tension escalated over the next couple of months, and on November 30, the main academic building of Jena High School was burned down in an unsolved fire. Later the same weekend, a black student was beaten up by white students at a party. The next day, black students at a convenience store were threatened by a young white man with a shotgun. They wrestled the gun from him and ran away. While no charges were filed against the white man, the students were arrested for the theft of the gun.2
That Monday at school, a white student, who had been a vocal supporter of the students who hung the nooses, taunted the black student who was beaten up at the off-campus party and allegedly called several black students "nigger." After lunch, he was knocked down, punched and kicked by black students. He was taken to the hospital but was released and was well enough to go to a social event that evening.3
I know things are bad in "The South" having lived in Tallahassee for a couple of years and feeling the racism myself, but this is insane! In this case the politicians are "trying to make and example of them" in a way that says "don't step out of line n*"-not to say that word because it's a truly hateful and disgusting word. I think the word needs to be spread about this and these people need to be held accountable for the way they have treated these kids. Here's some more stuff on NPR on this same issue.
H/T: Feministing
Until You've Walked in Their Shoes…
I read a great post concerning what happened with Hillary last Friday and the remarks she made about Senator Kennedy's assassination in 1968. In truth, I admire this woman greatly, and I don't mean for this comment. She has accomplished a lot in her life and all she ever gets for anything she does is a lot of negativity from everyone. Comments range from her looks to her intellectual capacity to things about her relationship with her husband and things that really should not be of anyones concern. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be her. I can't imagine what it must be like to pave the way for other women to be able to make it as far as she has. She is on the forefront of something big, just like Obama is, and I find all the racist and sexist remarks pretty appalling.
We're living in a day and age where we claim that we are a free nation that everyone has supposedly been given equal rights, yet daily we see comments from people in the media and on the streets bashing both of these Senators simply because one is a woman and the other is black. We see segregation in how we live, where we send our kids to school. It's like an invisible, unspoken rule of how things are supposed to be. When we hear remarks like the one that Trotta made the other day after a "slip of the tongue" this is really what should be big news in the papers, not some misunderstood statement that Hillary made. There was no misunderstanding Trotta's remarks. She made herself perfectly clear when she said,
what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Os–Osama–um, uh–Obama. Well, both, if we could…
There is no misconstruing that statement, and that is the true tragedy of these campaigns. The off-handed remarks made by the media meant to cripple the proponent or that persons party is unnecessary. I can understand if you're a republican and you don't have the same views as the democrats do, I can understand that, but certain comments really just should not be made. It goes back to what you're taught as children, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" I think we've forgotten this very good and wise philosophy of life, and I think some people in the media would be wise to remember it.
What I feel people seem to forget is that these political figures are still, in fact, human. They make mistakes, they may not word things the way they wanted to, and most importantly, they still have feelings. I'm sure Hillary is not the only one who's gone back to her hotel/bus/what-have-you and cried over comments that have been made towards her or attacking her, yet when she does display any kind of emotion whether it be anger or sadness she is considered the weaker candidate and comments like, "See?! That's why a woman could never be president!" are made by men all over who would have no idea what a day in her shoes is like.
She is far from perfect, and I know this, but so am I and so are the people who are making comments against her, and most importantly, so are the other candidates who are running for office. Nobody is perfect and everyone on this campaign has made some off-handed remark, or in the case of McCain, have flat out avoided any of the more serious concerns (I may be wrong here as I haven't really followed McCain all that closely, but when I have read or seen things about him, everything just seems scripted by the Republican party).
What I feel is most important at the end of the day is that Democrats stay united. Let me pose this question to all the Democrats out there, if the person you don't like is voted in during the Democratic National Convention in June, will you still vote democratically? If not, what do you think will happen to our nation if there were another Republican president?
Please, think about the issues first. This may seem like a popularity contest, and in many ways it is, but the truth of the matter is that you need to take into consideration the facts and what these people stand for. Personally I'm very afraid of having another Republican Conservative president in office because I'm afraid of what's going to happen to our already crippled economy, the war that I feel we should never have gotten involved in in the first place, and most importantly my reproductive rights which are slowly being chipped away by old white men in office who would have no clue what it's like to get pregnant or the issues surrounding that.
Think these things over and lets discuss.
Not all Cuban Women are Prostitutes
I want you all to watch this video first, before I say anything.
Done? Good. Now this is an ad campaign that Iberia airlines started (and eventually pulled) to promote a giveaway to win tickets to Cuba. Can anybody tell me what is the problem with this video?
First of all, not only do all cuban women NOT look like these women, they don't go around half naked the way these two did, they don't all have these oversized lips, and they don't coddle guys the way these two do to this baby. What they are promoting in this little ad campaign are the jineteras in Cuba, which are basically women who have been forced into prostitution in order to survive. This is an insult to women, an insult to Cuban women, and it makes me mad as hell that a company like Iberia saw fit to start this ad campaign.
So what do Cuban women look like, you may ask. Well, here, this is one of my favorite divas:
and for a more real cuban woman, there's this one…
That me, and these are my grandparents
If you want to see more images of real Cubans you can also head over to My Big Fat Cuban Family and see for yourselves, or even to Babalu Blog. But what I feel they're promoting in this ad is not the reality of the Cuban female population that is still in Cuba, but the ones that are forced to be sex-workers in order to survive and make a living and are taunting it as something men can look forward to when they arrive in Cuba. It's a damn shame that these women fell they need to resort to this way of life in order to survive in the first place, but for a big corporation like Iberia Airlines to be promoting this is horrific. Read the article from the Miami Herald below, and leave me your opinions.
Airline yanks ad called 'insult' to Cubans
Iberia Airlines yanked a promotional cartoon video off its website, featuring an infant who wins a trip to Havana and gets babied by voluptuous black beauties, after a consumer group complained the ad denigrates Cuban women.
The video posted earlier this month on the company's website showed the baby being coddled by two black women with exaggerated full lips and wide hips squeezed into hot pants.
The women fed, massaged, fanned and danced with the infant as he sang, in an adult male voice, "Mulattas, feed me. Come on mulattas, take me to the crib."
"It used the imagery of two sexy women of color, not nurses or home attendants . . . and the image of Cuba as the place for the male Spaniard to go and be pampered like a baby," said Ileana Fuentes, executive director of the Miami-based Cuban Feminist Network. "If that's not a sexual tourism ad, then I'd like to see a sexual tourism ad."
The ad played on the stereotype that Cuba is a hotspot for single European men to find dark-skinned "girlfriends" know as jineteras. The cartoon, part of a series of videos promoting an Iberia.com contest, was yanked from Iberia's website but has found a new life on YouTube. Other ads featured a sheep rapping in New York and a vacuum cleaner doing the tango in Buenos Aires.
It was the Cuba cartoon that drew fire from a consumer action group, which said it was a sexist insult to Cuban tourism workers.
"Cuban tourism workers do not massage you, fan you and dance with you," Ruben Sánchez, spokesman for the Consumers in Action Federation, said by phone from Madrid. "This ad denigrates people who work in tourism."
He said the ad violates a 1988 Spanish law that prohibits advertising that is denigrating to groups of people. In this case, Sánchez said, the video was demeaning not only to tourism workers, but Cuban women and Cubans.
The organization complained about the ad last week and Iberia pulled it four days later, he said. Advertising professors are requesting copies so they can show them to students as an illustration of what not to do, he added.
Originally found on God is a Dyke.
She Said What???
I know this has been talked about on a couple blogs, but I'm just completely appalled that this woman would say this.
From The Raw Story
"For years, the media has told us that Hillary Clinton is the smartest person in the world," Trotta said, "and that's up for grabs now. And the media's catching on to that, as well. The 'vast right-wing conspiracy' blame has been undermined by her evasions, by her outright lies, if I may say; by her pandering, by her race-baiting–and now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Os–Osama–um, uh–Obama. Well, both, if we could…"
To joke about something like assassinating anyone is appalling. I understand the issue with the statement Hillary made, yes it was taken totally wrong and she's a bonehead for not clarifying what it is that she meant, but for this woman to run with it the way she did and basically suggest that we should "off" Obama is scary, and to compare him with someone like Osama… I have no words. How can you compare Osama with Obama? Osama is responsible for thousands upon thousands of deaths, and what did Obama do to be compared with this terrorist?
What did she really think she would accomplish by making this backwards, racist comment? What is really just a slip of the tongue, I mean what the hell is wrong with her?!

As computer network installers, we advise our clients based on their specific network requirements. 1000Mbps is currently the standard speed for new computer network installations but many clients with older 100mbps networks will find that the speed provided is perfect for their needs. If you find that your network is running slow our computer network installers can analyse the traffic flow on your network and propose a solution to address your specific requirements. We look at the following areas in particular:
- Switches: are the computer network switches the correct type based on the application, i.e. does the client require a managed or unmanaged switch? Are the current switches rated to the correct speed and are they from a trusted manufacturer?
- Cabling: Is the current cabling old and faulty or rated for too low a speed?
- Wall boxes: Are the wall boxes or jacks wired correctly and in good condition?
Generally speaking we would suggest that if you copy a lot of high-capacity files such as images and videos and 3D models, that you go for the highest affordable speed computer network available to you but on the other hand, if you only use your network to browse the Internet and email, even a 100mbps computer network will suit you just fine

Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released
three model notices that they have encouraged healthcare providers to
use to inform consumers about how their medical data will be used and
made available under a revised privacy rule that took effect September 23, 2013.
Under HIPAA, healthcare providers are mandated to provide consumers with
a clear and "user-friendly" notice about how providers can
use consumers' protected healthcare information, as well as how
this information can then be accessed by consumers.
These notices also address new individual rights that are now expanded
in some important ways. For instance, patients can ask for a copy of their
electronic medical record in an electronic form. When individuals pay
by cash they can instruct their provider not to share information about
their treatment with their health plan. Additionally, the final omnibus
rule sets new limits on how information is used and disclosed for marketing
and fundraising purposes and prohibits the sale of an individuals'
health information without their permission.
Lastly, healthcare providers must make its notice available to any person
who asks for it, and the notice must be prominently posted and made available
on any website maintained that provides information about the health care
provider's customer services or benefits.
These new additions supplement those already in existence, which include
a consumer's right to request corrections on his/her medical records,
to choose a representative to act on the consumer's behalf, to file
a complaint if he/her believes her rights have been violated, to obtain
a list of those who have been shared his/her medical records, as well
as other additional rights. Furthermore, it is vital to understand that
healthcare providers are required by law to maintain the privacy and security
of each consumer's protected health information and to notify the
consumer if a breach occurs.
In light of these recent changes, it is imperative that you are aware of
these new HIPAA requirements and that your current HIPAA notice is in
compliance with federal law. These HHS' model notices can be accessed
through the following link: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/modelnotices.html.

NEW HYDE PARK, NY – As part of LIJ Medical Center's recent $300 million expansion, including a 10-story tower encompassing the Zuckerberg Pavilion and Katz Women's Hospital, the hospital recently opened a new, state-of-the-art, 30-bed Cardiovascular and Thoracic Unit. Focusing on patient and family-centered care, all the sleekly designed rooms are private and can comfortably accommodate loved ones at the bedside.
The 29,000 square-foot high-tech medical/surgical unit is dedicated to patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery, cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology procedures. Located on the eighth floor in the Zuckerberg Pavilion, the Cardiovascular and Thoracic Unit is designed to provide the most clinically advanced levels of care, comfort and convenience to patients and their families. Each room is equipped with telemetry technology, allowing patients' vital signs to be monitored remotely, and bedside computers that give clinicians access to patients' electronic medical records.
Each private room is equipped with a full bathroom and shower, a 42-inch flat-screen television, mini refrigerator, Internet access and desk. The patient rooms also include a visiting area for loved ones with a pullout loveseat for overnight stays. Borrowing designs from the hospitality industry, patient rooms and public areas have mahogany-look wood floors and nature-colored motifs and artwork to provide inpatient services in a warm, welcoming and non-institutional setting that is sensitive to patient needs and privacy. Corridors are carpeted for a high-end look, but also help reduce noise on the floor. Extra large windows in each patient room and family lounges provide access to natural daylight and views.
The cardiac suite opened to rave reviews from patients and staff alike, but the new facility is built on the reputation of LIJ's cardiac services. "LIJ has consistently excelled in performing angioplasty and cardiac surgery, and has achieved outstanding outcomes for both procedures in New York State," said Barry Kaplan, MD, vice chair of cardiology for LIJ and North Shore University Hospital (NSUH). According to a recent state Department of Health (DOH) report analyzing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) from 2007-2009, LIJ was one of six hospitals statewide that had statistically superior outcomes for angioplasty – a procedure to clear blocked heart arteries. In fact, since 2000, LIJ has received a double-star ranking for its extraordinarily low mortality rates for all cases in six of eight reports issued by DOH during that time period. From an individual standpoint, Dr. Kaplan and two other cardiologists from NSUH (Donna Marchant, MD , and Loukas Boutis, MD) were among only four physicians in the state – out of more than 300 statewide who performed the procedure at 56 hospitals – who were outliers for superior outcomes, in all cases. "Now, with the new cardiac unit, we are able to practice in a world-class facility and provide the best possible care to patients in a beautiful and healing environment," Dr. Kaplan said.
While S. Jacob Scheinerman, MD, vice chair of cardiothoracic surgery at LIJ, also praised the design and the amenities of the new Cardiovascular and Thoracic Unit, he said that he and his team were "ecstatic" with results of a recent DOH report that analyzed outcomes for open heart surgery , which showed LIJ had superior outcomes. Specifically, the latest state report on adult cardiac surgery (covering 2007-2009) showed that LIJ was one of only four hospitals in New York State – and the only one on Long Island – with risk-adjusted mortality rates that were significantly better than the statewide average for 676 patients undergoing surgeries to repair or replace heart valves and for those of surgeries for valve/coronary artery bypass graft surgery. In addition to the hospital's top rankings, Dr. Scheinerman and Robert Palazzo, MD, a heart surgeon at LIJ, and two NSUH heart surgeons (Alan Hartman, MD, and Robert Kalimi, MD) were among 13 out of 190 surgeons statewide to earn the DOH's prestigious double-asterisk for their extraordinarily low mortality rates.
"LIJ's performance in cardiac surgery is a great distinction and we are very proud of our outcomes," said Dr. Scheinerman. "Our success is due to our collaborative teamwork among skilled clinicians working together to ensure that patients and family members are cared for with excellence."
In addition, the most recent DOH cardiac report showed that LIJ was the only hospital in New York State to have significantly better outcomes for cardiac surgery and percutaneous interventions.
The Cardiovascular and Thoracic Unit was designed by the healthcare architecture firm EwingCole in conjunction with North Shore-LIJ's Department of Facilities Services. Decentralized nursing stations and closets for supplies are located adjacent to each patient room entrance throughout the unit, dedicating and increasing nursing time with each patient. The design of the unit organizes support and staff functions into three physician/nursing collaboration zones with identical medicine, supply, and utility rooms to increase staff convenience and efficiency. The core area includes administrative support space in addition to storage space and interdisciplinary team rooms. A pharmacy is located on the floor to ensure timely and accurate delivery of medications.
The needs of special patient populations are addressed as well, with two dedicated isolation rooms with anterooms for patient observation and a bariatric room provided with overhead lifts for patient and staff safety.
As part of the North Shore-LIJ Health System's commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible healthcare, the cardiac unit is registered with the Green Building Certification Institute and has been designed to achieve a LEED Silver rating, the accepted industry benchmark for sustainable design, green building materials and energy efficiency.
