The annual Fruit Loop Wine Celebration will take place June 22-23, showcasing the Hood River County Fruit Loop's wines.
The Fruit Loop has a reputation not only for world-famous fruit orchards, but for a growing number of vineyards and wineries. The rich soils and growing conditions which result in legendary tree fruit are proving to be just as wonderful for producing excellent grapes — and award-winning winemakers are taking it from there.
Wine lovers are invited to meet the winemakers, discuss their art and taste their best. Tour vineyards and wineries, relax in beautiful tasting rooms and enjoy gorgeous scenery. Take advantage of special pricing and enjoy tasty treats during the Wine Celebration.
The Columbia Gorge Appellation became a federally designated grape-growing region in July 2004. The efforts of local winemakers have been recognized with long lists of awards. Visit all of the wineries during the Wine Celebration, as well as the many other farms and attractions of the Fruit Loop.
n Hood River Vineyards, the Gorge's oldest winery, offers an invitation to taste a broad selection of wines to kick off the summer season. Try whites, reds, hard ciders, fruit ports and sherries.
n Housed in a 1910 Dutch Colonial home listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, The Gorge White House has wines from more than 25 Columbia Gorge wineries, as well as their own hard cider, and a variety of local craft beers. It also offers freshly prepared gourmet lunches, U-cut flowers and scenic double-mountain views.
n Come to Mt. Hood Winery for the wine; stay for the view. Taste its 2013 wine releases from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will also feature SmOkin' John's BBQ from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., both Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy its beautiful tasting room with its scenic patio and views of two mountains.
n Wy'East Vineyards will offer specials on its pinot noirs all weekend (buy one bottle, and get a second of equal or lesser value for half off). The $5 tasting fee will include a complimentary logo wine glass, too.
n Pheasant Valley Winery will be serving up a delightful day on June 23 during the Wine Celebration, with tours, wine tasting and wine sale specials.
n Viento's "Born in the Gorge" winemaker applies 30 years of experience to producing elegant small-batch wines from estate and local vines. Viento is building a brand-new tasting room, set to open this year.
n Marchesi Vineyards and Winery is a boutique winery specializing in Italian varietals reminiscent of Piedmonte, Italy, where the founder was born and grew up. It grows Barbera, Dolcetto, pinot grigio and pinot noir grapes.
n Phelps Creek Vineyards is known for award-winning chardonnay, highly rated pinot noir, Gewurztraminer and more. Its tasting room is located on the grounds of the scenic Hood River Golf and Country Club.
n Cathedral Ridge Winery was named Oregon Winery of the Year by Wine Press Northwest in 2007. Located at the edge of Hood River, there's a lovely tasting room, views of Mount Hood and picturesque vineyards.
Of course, the Wine Celebration is a Fruit Loop-wide event — and there are always fun activities and wonderful products available at farms and businesses all along the Fruit Loop. Find the harvest season's first tasty berries and early produce, garden plants and flowers, gourmet food products, delicious baked goods, lavender and lavender products, cute alpacas and great yarns, and much more.
n The Wearable KnitWits Trunk Show will be at Cascade Alpacas' Foothills Yarn & Fiber store. Find patterns that are cute, stylish or just downright silly — all designed to bring a smile. Just try to resist knitting the "baby monster" socks! Lots more fun projects, too. Then take time to visit the newest adorable alpaca babies.
n Unwind at Hood River Lavender while enjoying its most fragrant lavenders in bloom. Pick a bundle to take home, shop its gift shop for luxurious lavender products, relax and enjoy the scenic views from this lovely organic lavender farm.
n A flower sale takes place all weekend in the Rasmussen Farms greenhouses. Early summer vegetables and berries are available, too. Find everything needed for your planters and yard.
Most farms and attractions along the Fruit Loop are open from at least 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily (wineries open at 11 a.m.). For complete information about the Fruit Loop Wine Celebration, for a listing of Fruit Loop farms, attractions and individual operating hours, and for an easy-to-follow map, visit hoodriverfruitloop.com.

NYPD officer Michael Pena was found guilty of sexual assault yesterday for drunkenly kidnapping a Manhattan woman off the street and sexually assaulting her in an alleyway last summer. Pena's novel "didn't mean to" defense apparently did not work. Huh.
Although his "it was only attempted rape" defense did work—he wasn't actually convicted of rape, because there was not definitive evidence of "intercourse." Convicting an NYPD officer of rape? That's not done around here. Baby steps.

NEW HAVEN — Jo LaFontaine will present an Armchair Traveler program at New Haven Community Library on Thursday, March 28, at 7 p.m. LaFontaine will share slides and the story of her work with Mothers Without Borders in Zambia.
When LaFontaine decided to volunteer at a "sew-a-thon" in Bristol several years ago, she became interested in hearing more about Mothers without Borders, the organization that was sponsoring it. She attended a slideshow presented by a brother of the founder, Kathy Headlee, to educate people about the work being done for children in Zambia and other countries ravaged by AIDS. When LaFontaine left the presentation later that night, she felt she had discovered a cause she could believe in wholeheartedly. She became determined to travel to Zambia and help in any way she could.
"I shocked the devil out of my family," she said, smiling.
Her first trip took place in 2008 and she is planning a third trip this coming June.
Zambia, like many sub-Saharan African nations, is a country of orphans. AIDS has decimated the productive middle generation. The people who should be farmers, or lawyers, or teachers, are dead or dying. Wherever possible grandmothers or other elders will take care of the orphaned children left behind, but they are often too far away, too poor, or too overburdened with other sick or orphaned relatives. Mothers Without Borders tries to address the needs of orphaned and abandoned children by "supporting efforts to provide safe shelter, food and clean water, education and access to caring adults," as their website explains. And it goes on to say, "We want to assure that each child has someone who cares about them to teach them of their value."
LaFontaine was hooked after her first trip.
"Once you get Africa in your head, I think it never goes away," she said. "The people are so courageous, and welcoming and dear. They have been through it all and yet they stay positive and loving."
While there, she and her group did whatever needed to be done, from working on the new orphanage building, clearing away cement from worksites, or just helping children and women to play games and enjoy each other. "Their lives are so hard," she said, "They don't get much chance to play."
The New Haven Community Library is located at 78 North St. in New Haven. The program is free and accessible. Call 453-4015 for further information.

DOVER — School and law enforcement officials reported on Monday, the first school day following the mass shooting incident in Newtown, Conn., that security had been increased at public schools in the area, where safety was made a priority for the community.
In Dover, Garrison Elementary School Principal Dustin Gray said staff worked carefully with parents to coordinate the quelling of student's fears, while across the district, schools received extra police attention with an on-site presence.
Many area police departments placed extra patrolmen at public schools, in Dover, Rochester and Farmington, to name a few. The Farmington Police Department Facebook page was plastered with much praise from the community, with residents thanking officials for helping them feel a little better about their children's protection that day.
Gray said at his school, teachers worked directly with parents over the weekend, advising them on how to broach the subject with youngsters who may have caught a jarring glimpse of the breaking news scene.
"Parents were concerned about what they should share with their kids, what schools would share, and what improvements in safety we would see immediately in school," Gray said, noting Garrison Elementary has a locking mechanism with a buzzer in place at their facility.
He added although the school would not change anything in the short-term, the school administration is hoping to meet in the coming weeks to discuss an update of their existing emergency policies and procedures.
"From a school safety standpoint, I feel we're in a good place," Gray said. "That being said, there's always room for an improvement. We just need to make sure we're very thoughtful about what changes we make and how we communicate that with parents and the Dover community at large."
Rochester Superintendent Michael Hopkins said for his district, he was "as confident we can be in these times," when it came to matters of security, noting the Rochester School Board had been thorough in keeping emergency procedures as up to date as possible.
"We sent out letters to parents and administrators yesterday, just telling them what we were doing about visibility and if anybody had any concerns to let us know, but we've had ongoing changes and adjustments to security…," Hopkins said. "We think having the doors locked at the elementary and middle schools have really helped that."
The Rochester School Board has considered installing surveillance cameras and specialized locking systems for all 55 exterior doors at Spaulding High School in the recent months, to which Hopkins said the Connecticut shooting incident could point to the need for that.
Rochester Police Capt. Paul Toussaint confirmed police were out in front of all the district schools to emphasize the Lilac City staying safe on Monday. Asked about Spaulding's lack of exterior door security, Toussaint referred to it as a "tough situation."
"We're confident that we've taken steps in the right direction to make these kids safe and we've been working with the school department," Toussaint said. "Can you say this is never going to happen? Obviously, no. We like to take a proactive training with officers in active shootings. The school department has plans in place for all schools so the issue has certainly been addressed."
Toussaint added the in-school resource officers, known as SROs, at Spaulding and Rochester Middle School act as the "eyes and ears" for Rochester police, so the department feels they are on top of security during the school day.
Farmington Police Chief Kevin Willey said since the town eliminated its SRO position last June, he has seen a rise in juvenile arrests and violent crime. He hopes to reinstate the district position for the next school year, pending the approval of the local Budget Committee.
But Willey noted the department continues to prepare for the worst, especially following this national tragedy, with an active shooter training planned for next week while students are on winter break. Officers will take a two-hour class before playing out various dangerous scenarios in the halls of Farmington High School.
Monday afternoon, and morning, where Farmington officers were placed outside local schools as students came and went, Willey said he believed families' fears were somewhat allayed.
"It was our job to be there, to lessen that anxiety, and make them feel a little safer," he said, "so kids could go about their schoolwork instead of having it in the back of their mind for whether or not they feel that school is a safe place."
Cynthia Sparks, principal of Valley View Community School in Farmington, which serves students kindergarten through grade 3, said she was happy to report Monday was a "regular day" for students. She said parents were notified Sunday night of the increased police presence.
"We have our doors locked and no concerns right now," Sparks said. "There are conversations as to what are the latest ideas out there but we try to keep everything as much in the forefront as we can in keeping people secure. We want the kids, and the families, to have that security."
All local officials expressed their concern for families just a few hours from the New Hampshire border.
Democratic Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan issued a statement, with her views on solutions for the future in preventing another tragedy like the one displayed in Connecticut.
"While we continue to learn more facts about the horrific tragedy (at Sandy Hook Elementary school), we owe it to those we've lost to come together and determine what can be done to make our communities safer and better, including improving our mental health system and addressing the proliferation of deadly assault weapons," the statement read. "I join with the people of New Hampshire and our entire country in grief, mourning and prayer for the victims, their families, and all those whose lives have been torn apart by this senseless violence."

Rated 4 out of 5 by Avabu from Cute sportswear I have ordered this sports jumpsuit online, because I wasn't able to find it in store. What I don't like is that the fabric is shiny. I have long and short sporty leggings from the last year collection and like the fabric better, because it has a matte finish. I would recommend to buy this only if you have perfect or close to perfect figure, because it shows every curve :)

The Future of DIY: MakerBot 3d Printer
3D printing is here, it's just not really all that pervasive yet. This may change soon enough now with the arrival of MakerBot's sub-$2K 3D printer. The home manufacturing contraption offers an endless range of possibilities for the extreme tech hobbyist: household gadgets, toys, home decor and more. Is this the future of DIY?
Imagine a place where you can go to download open models and plans for a handy spare part, children's toy, replacement chess piece, or iPhone case. That place exists today at Thingiverse.com. Where users and cutting-edge hobbyists share their 3d models to the public so they can print their designs on 3D printers such as a MakerBot replicator.
The MakerBot 3D printer uses a wax-like plastic resin that hardens; the resulting model is sandable and paintable. The consumer tech has only been around for a few months, but the enthusuiasm is already gaining steam. And as these units drop in price and become more affordable to the general public, we imagine a future when manufacturers simply send customers schematics to print directly from a 3D printer to replace that broken part, or bracket. This could also eventually evolve into an Etsy-like shop where you pay for a 3D file of a vase, sculpture, iPad stand or home decor element that you simply print at home.
We're excited to see where this goes, and if you're curious but don't want to spend money on the printer there are services out now that'll print the item for you. such as i.Materialise.
Check out this fun video of a fingerboard skateboard made with 3D printed pieces from Makerbot.
It's an interesting future indeed, and we'll leave you with a gallery of useful 3D models you can find on Thingiverse today - giving you a sample of what this technology can already do in its infancy.
1. Inception Top
2. Chess Set
3. Bumper Bot customizable toy
4. Garden Hose plug
5. iPad stand
6. Bracket for DSLR camera flash
7. Coat hook
8. iPhone Bumper Case

text: QB Jacob Park of Stratford has a dozen offers and has not formally cut down his list, but Knight's coach Ray Stackley four schools have emerged from the group to sit at the top of Park's list at this point. "He's almost down to five," Stackley said. "By the end of the school year he'll be down to five and he'll commit by the end of June or the first of July." Stackley said the four standing out the most right now are Alabama, Georgia, Virginia Tech and North Carolina. All have offered along with Auburn, Tennessee, NC State, Ole Miss and Duke. Stackley said Auburn and Tennessee are no longer in the picture. And right now USC and Clemson are not a factor. "Both of them love him but neither has offered," Stackley said. Park was at Alabama last weekend and has also been to North Carolina and Virginia Tech. His coach said he'll go to a couple of spring practices at schools he hasn't visited. Last season Park passed for 2700 yards and 25 touchdowns.

(a) Any order which provides for the custody or support of a minor child shall include:
(1) The name of the custodian;
(2) The amount of the support payments;
(3) The date the first payment is due;
(4) The frequency of the support payments;
(5) The event or events which trigger termination of the support obligation;

(8) A provision for medical support;
(9) When child support guidelines are not followed, a specific written finding pursuant to section 13-702.
(b) Effective October 1, 1999, any order entered that provides for the payment of child support shall also include a statement that requires both parties to report any changes in gross income, either in source of employment or in the amount of gross income, to the Bureau for Child Support enforcement and to the other party. The notice shall not be required if the change in gross income is less than a fifteen percent change in gross income.
(c) All child support orders shall contain a notice which contains language substantially similar to the following: "The amount of the monthly child support can be modified as provided by law based upon a change in the financial or other circumstances of the parties if those circumstances are among those considered in the child support formula. In order to make the modification a party must file a motion to modify the child support amount. Unless a motion to modify is filed, the child support amount will continue to be due and cannot later be changed retroactively even though there has been a change of circumstances since the entry of the order. Self help forms for modification can be found at the circuit clerk's office." The failure of an order to have such a provision does not alter the effectiveness of the order.

idealists needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 125 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
LonelyHearts.com.au is a new FREE dating website for the Australian market.
Adults looking for romance, friendship, soul mates and serious relationships.
We are looking for a logo (and favicon) for a new fresh and fun Australian free dating site, LonelyHearts.com.au
Something hot, fresh, and fun, but nothing cheesy, cheap!
Heart(s) incorporated in the logo would be an obvious idea.
The site colour scheme will probably be blue, pink, and white (possibly background). This isn't confirmed yet.
Logo should contain complete domain name: LonelyHearts.com.au
Favicon should incorporate any image from logo - like hearts. ie. Favicon should somehow link into the design of the logo.
We require the logo in both original PSD, with layers, text as editable font, plus also web friendly format for site.
We may update these requirements at any time so check back.
Our recent thoughts on this was:
2 hearts, one on the left and one on the right of the LonelyHearts.com.au
And somehow the LonelyHearts.com.au connects the 2 hearts together.
This is just an idea. If you have other similar or different idea, don't hesitate to still submit them.

Several people at a public hearing Thursday urged officials with the state Department of Health and Environmental Control to deny a permit regulating wastewater discharge from a proposed nuclear power plant in Cherokee County.
GAFFNEY — Several people at a public hearing Thursday urged officials with the state Department of Health and Environmental Control to deny a permit regulating wastewater discharge from a proposed nuclear power plant in Cherokee County.
Around 60 people attended the hearing. Local residents, as well as people from North Carolina and outside the immediate area, asked questions and commented after a presentation. All but one voiced concerns and opposition to the draft permit for Duke Energy's proposed William States Lee III Nuclear Station.
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, or NPDES, would regulate "discharges of cooling tower blowdown, and effluent from wastewater treatment systems including water treatment waste, floor and equipment drains, and other small waste streams from one discharge point to the Broad River at the 99 Islands Reservoir."
The permit is for a term of five years.
Several people spoke on behalf of environmental advocacy groups.
Those opposed to the permit had many concerns: the amount of water that would be drawn from the Broad River to support the nuclear station, pollutants that would be discharged, the impact of heated water on aquatic life and how often wastewater would be monitored.
Some questioned the data in the draft permit.
Randy Thompson, DHEC permit engineer, said in a presentation that Duke has proposed to install two nuclear reactors. The main issues with the NPDES permit, he said, is at what rate and how much water could be pulled from the Broad River and the amount of pollutants that could be discharged into the river in a "protective manner."
The main discharge, called cooling tower blowdown, would come from the cooling towers. That would comprise about 98 percent of the discharge, while the remaining two percent is wastewater, Thompson said.
There are two ponds on the proposed nuclear power plant site. Duke has proposed to build a third pond, Thompson said. He said the Broad River and ponds would be a source of cooling water. In times of drought and when the river flow is low, Thompson said Duke would be able to draw cooling water from the ponds, which would be replenished as water levels allowed.
Wastewater would discharge on the upstream side of the 99 Islands dam, he said.
Thompson said the primary section of intake has capacity of up to 98 cubic feet per second, or about 50 million gallons per day. He said that was five percent of the mean annual flow of the river over the last 10 years. Thompson said under normal operations, Duke would withdraw about 78 cubic feet per second of water. Millions of gallons would be returned to the river as discharge, but more would evaporate from the cooling towers, he explained.
The heated water that would be discharged also is an environmental issue.
The draft permit allows Duke to discharge 95-degree water from June through September and 90 degrees from October to May, Thompson said.
He said radioactivity is not regulated under the permit since federal law prohibits states from regulating radioactivity, which is regulated by U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Duke would be required to test the overall toxicity of wastewater every month.
Several members of the public did not think that monthly testing was sufficient. They also called for more hearings and sessions to ask questions.
Others thought that nuclear energy was simply unsafe and voiced support of alternative energy resources, such as solar and wind.
There also was concern of human error that could result in devastating consequences.
One asked the age of the 99 Islands dam where water would be discharged. Thompson said the dam was built in the early 1900s.
"The Broad River is a blessing because it supplies water — and all living things, plant or animal, must have water to survive," Jan Hammett said.
She said people are confident that water will come in an "unending supply."
Hammett said it would be "short sighted" to permit "heated, toxic water" to be discharged into the water and downstream to people who rely on the river to supply drinking water.
"The only nuclear reactor that I trust is 93 million miles away from me — the sun," Hammett said.
Louis Zeller with the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League said the amount of water that would be withdrawn is "unconscionable" amid droughts and global warming.
Clare Hanrahan with S.A.F.E. (Safe Alternatives for Future Energy) Carolinas told people at the hearing that they were responsible for the well-being of future generations "How dare we even consider compromising water quality … we should be grieving what's going on here," she said.
Not all opposed the permit.
Brenda Earls of Gaffney said water is a precious resource and thought the hearing was beneficial and answered many concerns. She expressed hope that Duke would form a committee with environmental advocacy groups and concerned citizens.
She urged people to come together, find common ground and find solutions.
Earls said the United States is competing on a global scale. As communities grow, so do their energy needs. She said nobody wants a nuclear power plant and said they also didn't want other energy sources in their backyard, such as pipelines or wind turbines.
"We need the power. We need this here," Earls said.
DHEC spokesman Jim Beasley said the agency would continue to gather input from the public and staff would consider it as the agency determined one of three options: the permit could be formally issued as it's written, DHEC make changes to the permit, or deny the permit, based on what they learn.
"We believe that we've constructed a permit at this point that's very sound and is capable of sustainment," Beasley said.
Beasley said the NPDES permit was one step in the process toward Duke Energy potentially opening a nuclear power plant. Duke must obtain several permits from different agencies before it could open the plant.
Written comments will be accepted until the close of business on April 19. They can be submitted by mail to Randy Thompson, SCDHEC/Bureau of Water, 2600 Bull Street, Columbia, S.C., 29201, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

According to the Director of the National Land Service, several years of intensive ongoing land reform are approaching culmination, the Service having set itself a new strategic goal which is to safeguard powerful state control over land usage.
NLS Director believes that the Service is capable of accomplishing this goal and is ready to comply with the principle of defending public interests without taking into consideration either individual dissatisfaction or that expressed by a group of people.
The Director continues by saying that "the Service is not only capable but is obliged to resort to the termination of state land lease agreements, should the state land be not used or be used in other ways than those provided by legislation. In certain cases it is possible to come to a conclusion that tenants start using land as if it were their own property. Let me emphasize that state land is not private, therefore it has to be used in strict conformity with statutory requirements".
He lays special emphasis on the fact that land is the highest value of the country, therefore its protection requires high-principled deliberation as well as in-depth co-operation among all administrative bodies of the state. As an example of this co-operation for the sake of protecting the public interest D. Kuprys mentions the investigation of a completed case in Klaipėda.
Ordered by the Prime Minister of the Republic and following the decree of the Minister of Agriculture, a corporate working group, comprising representatives from several institutions such as the Ministry of Agriculture, National Land Service and State Territorial Planning and Construction Inspectorate has been established. It has been ascertained during the process that in the city of Klaipeda the plot which had been leased in a non-auction way was larger than required for by the intended purpose of the buildings situated on that plot, as foreseen by Real Estate Cadastre record. Therefore the lease has to be changed by reducing the area of the leased land. As the plot tenants and Klaipeda municipality disagreed with that conclusion, the Service decided to take legal action referring to the Attorneys General with the aim of protecting the public interest.
NLS leader indicates two reasons for the occurrence of terminated /modified leases. As claimed by D. Kuprys, "the first one is more often than not caused by unfair and illegal intentions of land tenants at the point of the conclusion of lease agreements. The second one comes about through the failing competence of certain NLS specialists during the initial stage of document accordance for the sake of avoiding the emergence of such problems".
He says, "It is in particular this second reason that troubles me as head of the Institution. Therefore I can assure that should it turn out through official inquiry that such a situation might have been caused at the fault of the members of staff, their personal accountability will be asked". As an example Danielius Kuprys refers to the aforementioned case in the city of Klaipeda, when an oversized land area, larger than necessary for the exploitation of the buildings on that plot, was leased by some NLS officials in a non-auction way. The responsible executives have been subjected to administrative sanctions. "In addition," he continues '"should there arise at least slightest suspicion of the employee's private motives, legislation will be immediately involved".
D. Kuprys draws attention to the fact that in 2016 both single and systematic inspections were initiated by National Land Service in order to identify the instances of unauthorized occupation of the state's land as well as other violations of land usage.
One of the profoundest conntrol has been carried out in the regional parks of Verkiai and Pavilniai. A total of 210 inspections have been undertaken: 78 – in Verkiai Park and 132 in Pavilniai Park with as many as 133 violations (49 in Verkiai Park and 84 in Pavilniai Park). Among all 133 cases 2 violations have been classified as those of not-bringing land into the condition allowing its use according to its destination, 8 cases – of the use of land for purposes other than assigned, and even 123 cases of state land occupation.
In the opinion of the Director of the NLS, these examples are clear evidence that the recently-voiced suggestions to split the functions of the NLS, delegating their substantial part to municipalities are premature and ungrounded.
Danielius Kuprys is convinced that "the essence of such suggestions is to undermine the control of the state land use and its supervision. He says, "I would also like emphasize the fact that the Special Investigation Service (STT) in its risk-of-corruption analysis has recommended that we strengthen this comprehensive control. We fully agree with this kind of recommendation and are already able to see that a more rigorous application of our centralized control measures has increased the transparency of decisions and reduced the risk of corruption. For a variety of reasons municipalities are simply not capable of ensuring that".

NACDL seeks to ensure adequate funding for state and federal public defender organizations and private appointed counsel. Recent budget cuts have devastated federal public defender organizations, and NACDL has persistently appealed to Congress and the federal judiciary to ensure that adequate funding is restored. Federal funding for state law enforcement must be balanced with public defense funding, and the federal government should take a leadership role in encouraging the states to comply with the 6th Amendment right to counsel.
In recent months NACDL has begun a campaign to restore funding to the
Federal Public Defense System. Early in 2013 Congress failed to act in
regards to the broad budget cuts to the Federal Public Defense
System. As a result, many federal agencies found that they were
unprepared to deal with the devastating effects of sequestration.
Starting in April 2013, NACDL has held various events, conducted
meetings, and disseminated press releases and articles in an effort to
bring attention the federal public defense funding crisis. For more information on NACDL's efforts to combat the damage done by sequestration, click here.
In 2008 Congress passed the John R. Justice Prosecutors and Defenders Incentive Act, which provides up to $10,000/year in student loan repayment assistance for public defenders and prosecutors who agree to stay in their jobs for three years. The Justice Department's Office of Justice Programs (OJP) has helped the states implement this programs and has allocated the available funding (so far, less than the amount authorized for the program and needed to better address the problem) among the states based on population. Congress should fully fund this program, which increases retention of experienced public defenders and prosecutors and thereby improves the quality and efficiency of our criminal justice system. The John R. Justice Prosecutors and Defenders Incentive Act, which has provided education debt relief for thousands of public defenders since its enactment in 2008, has received steadily decreasing funding levels ($10M in FY10, $8M in FY11, and $4M in FY12). At present, the Continuing Resolution passed by Congress to keep the government funded until March 17, 2013, maintains the current $4 million funding.
Senator Leahy has introduced the Gideon's Promise Act (S. 597), which would encourage states to direct existing Federal funds received through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program toward improving the overall administration of justice, including the provision of public defense services. The bill also requires the Department of Justice to assist states that want support in developing an effective and efficient system of public defense, and it establishes a cause of action for the federal government to step in when states are systematically failing to provide constitutionally required representation. This legislation was originally a part of the broader Justice For All Reauthorization Act Senator Leahy introduced last Congress, which would have reauthorized a wide range of programs originally enacted in 2004 intended to improve the quality of justice in the criminal justice system. Because of the important Gideon anniversary this year, Leahy decided to introduce this piece on its own and vowed to reintroduce the Justice For All Act reauthorization later this year.

A very merry, scary off-off Broadway season
The Sci-Fi Soothsayer
Leave it to Les Freres Corbusier to teach us what the other half believes. This fall, the experimental theater company exposed New Yorkers to the way Christian fundamentalists celebrate Halloween by installing a Jerry Falwell-inspired Hell House in Brooklyn. Now, in time for Christmas, the company clues us in on the teachings of Scientology using the irresistible vehicle of a kids' musical. In "A Very Merry Unauthorized Childrens' Scientology Pageant" which premiered in 2003 at The Tank ten munchkins deliver a surprisingly catchy musical tale of L. Ron Hubbard's spiritual awakening and his church's subsequent fall from tax-exempt status. Sean Moran plays the charismatic L. Ron as he searches the world for life's meaning. Unhappy with the answers he gets one New Yorker, played by William Wiggins, tells him, "The only thing that matters is success," before returning to his cell phone call he creates the pseudo-scientific cult celebrities love. Watching the adorable Wiggins play Tom Cruise, Katie, and Suri is worth the $25 ticket alone. Through Jan. 7 at New York Theater Workshop, 82 E. 4th St., 212-239-6200. Nicole Davis
The Ghost Teller
Dan Bianchi's "The Haunting of 85 East 4th Street" is most eerily effective when real life and real history trumps the paranormal. Told in the intimate Red Room theater, located on the upper level of wouldn't you know it, 85 East 4th Street the Radiotheatre acting troupe has constructed an old-fashioned radio show, incorporating sound effects, impersonations and a flair for the melodramatic. Era by era, the show's four performers recount the sordid history of this building. It's stood through times of plagues, prejudice and paranoia even before construction, the land itself was thought to be cursed and handfuls of people have been found dead inside, including one who was thrown down the building's staircase so hard he cracked the first floor's tiles. These historical accounts keep this piece of radio theater moving forward. Things stall, though, when that history is occasionally molded for quick scares, as when the cast claims a dead woman's screams can still be heard through the walls. To Bianchi's credit, it's the cold hard truth that sucks us in. And while we're not going to go home shrieking in terror, one can't help but notice the cracked tiles at the bottom of that staircase and those other buildings lining East 4th Street, each with their own silent mysteries. Through Dec. 23 at The Red Room, 85 East 4th Street, 212-868-4444. Steven Snyder
The Hell Raiser
There's much to please in the new stage production of "Carrie" at Performance Space 122: the drag queen Sherry Vine in the title role, 1970s cheese rock, and buckets of fake blood. Theatre Couture reinvents the classic Steven King horror story as splatter-comedy camp, and charms its Gen-X audience with the irony and nostalgia of '80s dance night at the disco. Initially, Sherry Vine, a legend in drag theater, seems constrained in the role of cowering, downtrodden Carrie. But this big fabulous drag queen shows her power as a performer when Carrie starts to fight back in the second half of the show, using her telekinetic powers to take revenge on her tormentors, sending daggers flying (with the help of visible marionette strings) and flames ripping through the cafeteria, courtesy of the acclaimed puppet artist Basil Twist. The other actors are exuberantly over-the-top from start to finish, with Kate Goehring as Carrie's repressed Bible-thumping mother and Keri Meoni as Norma the dumb popular girl turning in particularly funny performances. This show won't change the way you think about Stephen King, telekinesis, or Downtown theater. But if you're looking for laughs and a trip down memory lane, "Carrie" delivers the goods. Through December 30, P.S. 122, 150 First Avenue, 212-352-3101; Jennifer DeMerrit

In all those psychology classes and Greek tragedies I read in college, there was always this connection between mothers and sons that didn't really exist between between the son and father.
No way, I thought. If ever have a son, it's gonna be great. We'll go to games and play catch, I'll teach him how to spit and throw a spiral and shave and be all manly.
Right now, I'd settle for a fist bump. Maybe a hug.
Brant doesn't hate me, he's too young to even know what that means. All I know is that he doesn't like me the way he likes his mom. Or sister. Or grandparents. Or teachers. Or aunts. I think I'm ahead of the dog, but it's nip-and-tuck.
Not sure what it is, but right now whatever I do with him, to him or for him is like pouring gas on a fire. The other day he told me to stop "akitaten" him (agitating him) when he was eating dinner.
Here are some instances that have occurred recently:
1. Whenever I open his bedroom door in the morning to get him dressed, he yells "No, mom." He is still in a crib, so he can't even see me, but I guess I open the door differently than my wife.
2. The other day I was touching his milk cup – akitaten him for sure – and he looked right at me, sans blinking, and said clear as day "Do. Not. Touch."
3. I went to give him some more food the other night at dinner and he melted down because he wanted my wife to give him his onion ring and not me.
4. Last night when he cried for his binkeys at 2 in the morning, I went in to get them. After I opened the door (to which he freaked out because he could tell by the way I opened it that it was me), he stood up and screamed right in my face for mom. As I shifted the crib away from the wall to get the binks, he was pulling on the side of the crib like the Ultimate Warrior screaming "daddy, no move crib. Mommy!"
5. It was a worse reaction than the night before when the same thing happened, only he took it a step further when he laid back down and I went to rub his back to calm him down. He simply pointed at the door, without ever lifting his head up, and said "Go."
So our relationship is a work in progress. Either way, I'm going out and buying my daughter a pink baseball glove just in case.

I am looking for any creative ideas that you think may help out me and my baby. Here is our situation: After a long home birth, baby needed some oxygen and did not have the opportunity to breastfeed until about 1 hour after birth. Latch was not great, so baby became frustrated and hungry. By day 2, baby had jaundice and my LC advised me to give formula to satisfy his hunger and also get rid of the jaundice. I began pumping, and baby only had formula for 2 days, but was already accustomed to the bottle. Since, it has been a long struggle to get him back to the breast. First, he wouldn't even try to suckle. After a couple weeks, he would eat for a total of 5 mins from the breast shield. (After each session, I would give him pumped BM from a bottle). He is now off the shield, but still will only BF when he is not fussy or overly hungry. I still don't think he has a good latch, because he gets fussy after a couple minutes at each breast. I also think he has issues pulling the nipple in far enough to suck correctly.
Look for any ideas or support! Thank you!!

LONDON, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- British astronomers have announced the discovery of the largest structure in the universe observed so far, some 4 billion light-years across.
Reporting the finding in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the researchers led by scientists from the University of Central Lancashire described a large quasar group, made up of the nuclei of galaxies from the early days of the universe that undergo brief periods of extremely high brightness that make them visible across huge distances.
Since 1982 it has been known that quasars tend to group together in clumps or 'structures' of surprisingly large sizes known as LGQs.
"While it is difficult to fathom the scale of this LQG, we can say quite definitely it is the largest structure ever seen in the entire universe," researcher Roger Clowes said. "This is hugely exciting -- not least because it runs counter to our current understanding of the scale of the universe.
"This is significant not just because of its size but also because it challenges the Cosmological Principle, which has been widely accepted since Einstein."
The Cosmological Principle holds that the universe, when viewed at a sufficiently large scale, should look the same, more or less uniform, no matter where you are observing it from.
The Principle is assumed but has never been demonstrated observationally "beyond reasonable doubt," scientists said.
"Our team has been looking at similar cases which add further weight to this challenge and we will be continuing to investigate these fascinating phenomena," Clowes said.

WAKEFIELD — Police continue to investigate an unusual attack reported on Fellows Road over the weekend, where a Wakefield man claims he was assaulted by a person after he pulled over to help him with car trouble.
Wakefield Police Lt. Mark O'Brien said Michael Paquette, 24, called police to report the crime which occurred some time between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Paquette claimed he pulled over on Fellows Road off Wakefield Road to help a man described as white and in his 30s, with a moustache. The suspect's vehicle was described as a green Toyota with Maine plates. O'Brien said according to the officer's report he reviewed, Paquette was helping the man with his tire when he heard the man say something.
"(Paquette) turned around and said 'What did you say?' and he just got knocked out," O'Brien said.
Police confirmed Paquette told them after he was struck, none of his belongings were taken by the alleged perpetrator.
O'Brien said Paquette estimated he was left unconscious on the side of the road for about an hour, though he said authorities continue to investigate the timeline. Police plan to have a followup interview with the victim, who refused a medical transport at the time but later went to the hospital for his concussion. O'Brien said police also plan continue to canvass the neighborhood to collect any additional witness statements.
O'Brien noted Fellows Road is a very busy road Saturday morning, when people travel to the nearby town dump, and he hopes anyone who saw Paquette unconscious or the vehicles stopped will call the station with what they recall from the scene.
"This is a really safe community here and people do go out of the way to help each other," O'Brien added. "The last thing we want is for people to not offer to help people. It's a busy road so we have lot of things to look at here."
Paquette told WMUR he is a member of the National Guard, but O'Brien said his department has yet to confirm that.

That wasn't the case for the Nationals on Thursday night.View Full Game Coverage
A slew of errors and mental mistakes combined with deficient pitching from starter Gio Gonzalez and the bullpen debilitated Washington in a 10-4 series-opening loss to the Phillies at Nationals Park. And the sentiment in the clubhouse after the game was unanimous: It was just one of those nights.
"Nothing was going our way," Gonzalez said.
Initially, the Nationals appeared poised for a victory after Phillies starter Cliff Lee left the game in the third inning with a strain in his throwing elbow. The left-hander had surrendered just one hit through his first 2 2/3 innings, but his sudden departure meant the Nationals would go up against the lackluster Philadelphia bullpen for the final six-plus innings.
Yet after Antonio Bastardo finished the third by inducing Span into a fly out to center, the Phillies tagged Gonzalez for five runs in the fourth, two of which came on defensive mishaps from Nationals fielders.
Marlon Byrd and Carlos Ruiz opened the inning with back-to-back singles before Grady Sizemore doubled both runners home to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead. A walk from Darin Ruf and a sac bunt from Adres Blanco put men on second and third for pinch-hitter Dominic Brown, who grounded softly to second baseman Danny Espinosa.
Espinosa opted to try to throw Sizemore out at home instead of taking the out at first base, a decision that allowed Sizemore to slide safely into home for the Phillies' third run of the inning without an out being recorded.
"The hindsight play is to go to first base and give them that run, but we're playing the infield in to cut down that run on a regular-paced-hit ground ball," manager Mattt Williams said of the play. "It was just a little slow for him to get him at the plate."
Ben Revere added the fourth run of the inning on an RBI single. Jimmy Rollins followed that up with a single of his own before Chase Utley connected on a tailor-made double-play ball to Espinosa. However, shortstop Ian Desmond dropped the flip -- the second gaffe of the inning -- allowing Brown to score and give the Phillies a 5-0 lead.
Gonzalez was pulled after Desmond's mistake in favor of left-hander Ross Detwiler, who got Byrd to ground out to end the frame. In 3 2/3 innings, Gonzalez gave up five runs on eight hits -- a performance catcher Wilson Ramos said was a result of the left-hander catching too much of the strike zone.
"Some ground balls didn't go my way," Gonzalez said. "They found the holes. I got the pitch I wanted. I got the result I wanted. They just found their way through [for] base hits. The fourth inning just got me."
The Nationals responded with a run in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI single from Ramos. They pulled within two runs an inning later when Span connected on a two-run single with the bases loaded, but the Phillies tacked on two more runs in the sixth off reliever Jerry Blevins to extend their lead to 7-3.
The Nationals added a fourth run in the seventh after a leadoff double from Kevin Frandsen, who started in place of Adam LaRoche. Frandsen took third on a Ruiz passed ball before Espinosa singled him home.
A one-out single from Span put runners on first and third, but neither Anthony Rendon nor Jayson Werth could deliver a decisive hit.
"For me, a good night is when you do something positive and [we] win," said Frandsen, who went 2-for-4 in his first game at first base since May. "You take advantage of any opportunity. I come to the park every day ready to play."
The Phillies scored three runs off Nationals reliever Craig Stammen in the eighth on RBI singles from Byrd and Sizemore to put the game out of reach. In total, Washingts' bullpen surrendered five earned runs on nine hits over 5 1/3 innings in the contest.
"I don't think they're worn down. I don't think their innings are excessive or anything like that," Williams said of the bullpen, which allowed five earned runs in a loss to the Marlins on Monday. "I think it's just one of those little ruts."
Despite the loss, the Nationals cling to a lead in the National League East. Not to mention, the team has proven the ability to come back from series-opening losses, like when it defeated the Brewers in back-to-back games earlier this month to claim a victory in the first series after the All-Star break.
But it starts with moving forward. It starts with forgetting what happened Thursday night.
"You come home, you hope to get off to a good start. We didn't," Frandsen said. "Hopefully, the last three games here we can play well. But it starts with tomorrow. We have to play well from the first inning on."

Standards-Based Reporting
What is a Standards-Based Progress Report?
A Standards-Based Progress Report gives you information about how your child is progressing toward meeting the Waukee Community School District's Standards during the course of the school year in each class. Standards specify what all students should know and be able to do.
- Your child's performance is measured against the standard, rather than simply being compared to other students in his or her class.
- It gives every child the opportunity to meet or exceed our district's standards.
- It gives you, parents or guardians, a more detailed and honest assessment of how your child is progressing academically.
- Behavior is reported out separately and is as important as the academic report, as they are the habits that students will need to be successful in high school and beyond.
Standards-Based Reporting Supports:
- Our district's mission, vision and theory of action
- High-level learning and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of all students
- The Iowa Core's Characteristics of Effective Instruction, including a focus on assessment for learning
Proficiency Indicators:
Each indicator shows progress towards each specific learning targets for each course:
- EE: Exceeds Expectations – Student demonstrates above grade level understanding for the targeted skill or concept.
- SC: Secure – Student can apply the skill or concept correctly and independently.
- DV: Developing – Student shows some understanding. Reminders, hints, and suggestions are needed to promote understanding.
- BG: Beginning – Student shows little understanding of the concept. Additional teacher support is needed.
- ID: Insufficient Data

As a voice teacher, I want to help my students settle comfortably into their own musicality by showing them the building blocks of a solid technique, drawing particularly from the things that helped me grow as a vocalist.

About Julia
My instruction extends nationwide, with students from all corners of the US, utilizing online tutoring services such as Skype.
My main field of study is in MATH (trig, algebra, geometry, precalculus), CHEMISTRY (high school and college), and PHYSICS (high school and college).
I completed my Bachelors in Physics and Mathematics Education at Hunter University and have gained experience with both in-person and online group instruction and curriculum development.
Some examples of the students I have tutored are: Elementary school students preparing for State competitions and exams; High school and College students in preparance for entrance exams, and in subjects such as algebra, geom
I do Regents and SAT/ACT prep for these subjects as well as the GRE (These are NYS based High School Preparatory Exams - do not hesitate to ask should you need assistance with the ones offered in your state/country).
In addition, I am thorough and meticulous, by paying special attention to how the student grasps information and retains it, I prepare individualized handwritten reviews, with supplemental material found online and in texts.
I assign homework to keep my students ahead of what is going on in class, and a visual and intuitive understanding of the concepts I present is important to me, so I use visual aids (diagrams and interactive models) to help my students integrate what they learn with me in real life situations.
My instruction includes:
1. Tutoring based on the school curriculum
2. Instruction on the home-schooling curriculum
3. Assisting those with a gap in going back to school/university.
I start with an assessment based on what the student has trouble with or last remembers covering in school, and prepare material going from there.
As a result, my students all have improved grades without any need for cramming before tests, and I encourage a stress-free and easygoing learning environment.
My lessons are fun and enthusiastic - these subjects are beautiful and will help open your mind to new ways of thinking - whatever your field of study!

I see marked improvements in their grades for this past year, and my eldest is actually skipping fourth grade as a result of lessons. I am astounded as to my girls' progress, and greatly appreciative of our tutor's expertise.
Her patient, methodical approach to teaching is why I see us remaining with her for all of our educational instruction. She has already taught arithmetic to my youngest (3rd grade), and algebra to my eldest (starting 5th this sept!), and is proceeding with more advanced math with no issue whatsoever. I cannot recommend her enough.

Whether it's for English as a second language or College level papers, English is nothing more than a few words with rules on how to put them together, then once you learn them, you can creatively arrange them together to even make beautiful works of literature. I will break down your problem areas and make sure you have a strong grasp on what needs improvement. I learn languages for fun, English being the second language I learned and became fluent in, so I can help non-natives more than most because I can relate to their mistakes and may even have learned their language. I also work as a Freelance Copywriter and I have two minors in creative writing and copy writing that I got when I was getting my BFA in Graphic Design, so if you want to write copy or write creatively I will be more than happy to help.
About Moataz
My promise to you is that I will teach you everything I know in the time I'm given and provide you with all sorts of outside resources to get you on your way to fluency and proficiency.
I'll make sure to do my absolute best to get you speaking a new language from day one, learning a Design program immediately, or teaching you how to letter with the rules they don't teach you in school. And best of all, I'll even show you how to actually make money with all of these.
I have a very unique journey into learning where I experienced many places and got a fresh and different understanding to the many su
My Design work has been very general so I've done a lot of different things before I specialized in hand lettering, so I've done it all from advertisements on billboards to website design and development, to copywriting, to branding from start to finish for companies big and small.
My love for lettering and Calligraphy emerged when I started getting more Logos for client work and my exploration of type wasn't the best answer most of the time so I would letter everything myself, and the rest is history.
I am really passionate about learning and even more passionate about sharing what I've learned. I am efficient, I know what works for different people since I taught in classrooms and tutored way before I knew about Takelessons, and I'm most proud of being praised as a very genuine person. A very common compliment I get is that I sincerely want my students to do well. And it makes me really happy every time someone says it, and I hope that one day you see that and tell me the same thing.
Feel free to find out more about me and ask me anything you want, and I really look forward to one day teach you something that will get you to achieve your goals! :)
Just so there are no surprises, I raise my prices very slightly every 3 months, next time it will go up is on March 3rd 2017. The reason for this is because I get better and more efficient at teaching as time goes by, so that hour that you get now is much more packed with value than the same hour last year or last month.
