Justice Department Files Lawsuit Against California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to Enforce the Employment Rights of Air Force Reservist
WASHINGTON - The Justice Department today announced it has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Sacramento, Calif., against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), alleging that the CDCR failed to promptly reemploy U.S. Air Force reservist Dany Felix in violation of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA).
USERRA was enacted to protect service members from being disadvantaged in their civilian careers due to serving in the uniformed services. Subject to certain limitations, USERRA requires employers to reemploy service members who have been injured while on active duty by accommodating those service members in a position they are qualified to perform and that approximates their pre-service position in seniority, pay and status.
The complaint alleges that in March 2003, Felix, employed as a CDCR medical technical assistant, was ordered to active duty together with his Air Force Reserve unit. Felix aggravated a pre-existing back injury and also sustained a new back injury while on active duty, resulting in his being honorably discharged in August 2006. Felix sought reemployment with the CDCR shortly before and for several months after his discharge.
The CDCR initially told Felix that it would not reemploy him as a medical technical assistant because of his physical injuries and, despite Felix's requests, did not offer him reemployment in any position. The complaint alleges that when the CDCR finally offered to reemploy Felix between February and April 2007 in alternative positions, those positions paid substantially less or would have required significantly longer commutes, than his prior medical technical assistant position. According to the complaint, the CDCR failed to offer Felix suitable reemployment until May 2007 – nine months after his honorable discharge, and only after Felix had told the CDCR that he had found a job with another employer.
"Service members injured during active duty should not be penalized with the loss of their civilian jobs," said Loretta King, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division.
The Justice Department's lawsuit was filed after receiving Felix's complaint from the Labor Department's Veterans' Employment and Training Service, upon completion of its investigation.
The Civil Rights Division has given a high priority to the enforcement of service members' rights under USERRA. Additional information about USERRA can be found on the Justice Department Web sites: www.servicemembers.gov and www.usdoj.gov/crt/emp.

The Ignitor surely earned his spot in Cooperstown with his amazing numbers. He's one of four guys (Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Eddie Collins) with .300 average, 3000 Hits, and 500 SBs. He had five 100+ Run seasons, four 200+ Hit seasons, ten 30+ Double seasons, eight 30+ SB seasons, and twelve .300+ seasons. He primarily played DH, which did not prevent him from being a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He also played 3rd, 2nd, 1B, SS, and OF. He had the seventh longest hitting streak ever when he hit in 39 straight in 1987. He battled through a drug problem early in his career to become of of the very best to lac up cleats. He was the first 40 year old to collect 200 Hits. I could go on and on about the Minnesota native, but you get the point. The man oozed Greatness and he is more than deserving of his Hall of Fame induction.

The impetus for this thought really grows out of the complaint I have heard too often: I am just not being "fed" at this church/by this pastor?
I have my suspicions on what is meant by this. It isn't a reference to potluck dinners, either. It has to do with the subjective sense of having desires or expectations met. When the desires or expectations are not being met, it would seem to make emotional sense to seek those desires or expectations out somewhere else. There are two questions that need to be asked, and a really hard illustration to prove this wrong.
First the questions we need to ask:
- Is the church not fulfilling its purpose to help one another grow and mature?
- Is the person participating fully in the effort to become mature and to grow?
There are churches than need to tighten up on the purpose that they are mandated with: make disciples for Jesus Christ. That is stated by Christ when he tells the disciples to go into all the world and baptize and teach. That is the purpose made clear through Paul's teaching on the body of Christ. Churches can fall down on "feeding" the people who make up its members. If the answer to the first question is no, then a church needs to refocus on why they are there.
If the first question seems to be a fair "yes" then we move to the second question. Participation is mandatory on the part of individuals. When a person is baptized, their connection to a body of believers carries a responsibility to active participate in the life and ministry and work of that church. We do not join churches for the membership privileges. We join a church to participate in the body of Christ. We become a part of the ongoing work of Christ's mission in the world. It is a never-ending effort to bring the kingdom of God to the world. We are part of the mission to transform lives and bring release, restore the broken, heal the wounded, and bring hope to the hopeless. The kingdom mission cannot continue in a given area unless churches in that area are filled with active, participating disciples. If the answer is no to the second question, then the person is individually accountable to failing in their promise as a follower of Christ. They need to repent, step in, and do something different.
If the answer to both questions is no, then I believe we are seeing a vacuum of Christian witness. If the church is not building people and individuals are not participating at any level, then no one is doing the work of Christ in that area. And if neither want to change, then it is best to close the door, wipe your feet, and move on to using your time in for more productive things (according to your own needs). Christ can bring life back to the dead. If there is no desire to become something new and different, though, Christ won't do anything. To bring more of the same life to a church will only produce more death of spirit.
Now for the hard illustration.
Leaving something wherein a commitment was made just because desires or expectations are not being met is not the answer. The illustration to look toward is a marriage. When a couple get married, there are desires and expectations that each carry into that marriage. If there is no communication of those, then fulfillment of those are only going to be accidental. If there is communication regarding desires and expectations, and they continue to be unfulfilled, then that requires intervention and accountability or transformation of those desires and expectations. If neither party is willing to change, then it is likely moving toward divorce. But I would ask if they were ever truly married to begin with. If they were only interested in serving their own desires and moving for the fulfillment of their own expectations, they were never married in a true sense. They were only seeking after a servant to meet their needs.
The church is made up of people who are supposed to sacrifice their own needs, their own way, to serve the Master and Lord. The Lord has made it clear that serving him requires serving others, sacrificially. If we are not joining churches to serve others, then we are going to be disappointed and disillusioned. If we are joining a church for our needs to be met, we will go very hungry.

A joint study from DigitasLBi and the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) shows that brand marketers will invest more in original digital video content in 2015 and beyond, but cost, quality, and measurement are the biggest challenges they face.
Brands are looking to leverage original digital video content to drive consumer engagement, but they are concerned about return on investment (ROI) and the quality and measurement of the ad format, according to a new study released at the DigitasLBi NewFront presentation.
The qualitative study, "Content Revelations," from DigitasLBi and the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and conducted by media market research firm Advertiser Perceptions, found that two-thirds of marketing and advertising executives interviewed believe that original digital video will become as important as original TV programming in the upcoming three to five years.
"Storytelling is the driven force of the evolution of marketing," said Scott Donaton, chief content officer for DigitasLBi North America, at the agency's NewFront presentation. "The power of story to change the world is what the NewFronts are all about: how original digital video storytelling is transforming the way you connect, the way you move audiences, the way you deliver messages, the way you communicate who we are and what you stand for."
As a result, 64 percent of marketing executives plan to raise their digital video content ad spend this year. And original content will represent 42 percent of the total video spend, up 5 percent from 2014, according to the study.
However, marketers face several challenges when shifting their ad dollars toward original video content. The cost of producing original video content seems to be the biggest obstacle, as 54 percent of marketing and advertising executives cited in the study are concerned about the ROI of this ad format, followed by quality (45 percent) and measurement (41 percent).
"We're thrilled that marketers recognize original video content as a powerful medium for storytelling. Obviously we agree. As with any maturing medium, there are challenges," Donaton tells ClickZ. "'Content Revelations' surfaced three of them: cost, quality, and measurement. While there is not one solve-in-a-box, there are different approaches that can help tackle them. One prominent and viable option is to have separate content marketing dollars, and related, distinct standards of measurement."
The study is based on one-on-one 45-minute interviews with senior-level digital video decision marketers across the automotive, consumer package goods (CPG), financial services, pharmaceutical, and retail sectors. To learn more, you can request the study from DigitasLBi or the IAB.

QUANTIFOIL™ is a holey carbon film with a thickness of about 12 nm, that is applied on a standard copper or gold electron microscopy grid and provides an ideal support for biological samples in Cryo-EM techniques[1-6].
The supporting mesh (copper or gold) is available with distinct numbers. Higher mesh numbers (400) indicate closely spaced bars and provide higher stability, whereas lower numbers (200) provide larger free faces.
The QUANTIFOIL™ carbon film has circular holes of defined size and interspace, e.g. R 2/1 (pictured) has holes of 2 µm diameter with an interspace of 1 µm in both dimensions. Higher magnifications usually require smaller holes and vice versa.

Pretty Much Practical (but still fun) Wishlist
1. A new apple laptop. My poor old laptop (from 4 years ago, which is practically 100 in technology age) seems to be on it's last leg. I love my desktop computer, but it would be nice to sit outside and do some blogging which isn't currently possible since my laptop battery only lasts about half an hour when unplugged.
2. A studio space. I love my apartment, but I'm sure Leanne would love it if it wasn't completely taken over by my work sometimes. I don't ask for much, just some large windows, good light, and a nice view. Ok, maybe that is a lot.
3. A dress form in my size. My current one is a bit bigger than me and since I don't know a whole lot about dress making, it would make things easier if my dress form was my size.
4. A cutting table. Once again, I love my apartment and luckily this one came with a table that I can use, but it would be lovely to have a designated work surface that didn't double as an eating area.

You know what it's time for... Supermodel documentary hour!
I've always been a fan of documentaries, but there has been a surge in my interest as of late. Here are a few of my favorites:
Man on Wire (2008) (on netflix instant watch)
Even though I knew the outcome of this film (umm, hello they show present day interviews with this guy) I was still on the edge of my seat about what was going to happen next. The French have such passion and fire that you can't help but get wrapped up in it.
The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2005)
Oh Daniel Johnston, where do I begin? Such an amazing and strange person. Everything he makes is so incredible and his life was so well documented the move makers had tons and tons to pull from. This is absolutely one of the most well-made documentaries I've seen.
How to Draw a Bunny (2002)
If you think that Daniel Johnston is misunderstood then wait until you meet Ray Johnson. His life and death was so mysterious to even those who were close to him. When I wanted to be a collage artist he was a major inspiration for me.
Beautiful Losers (2008) (on netflix instant watch)
I love everything that these people create. It makes me want to start my very own artist group and take over the world. Anyone care to join?
No Impact Man: The Documentary (2009)
This documentary shows the ups and downs of a family trying to drastically reduce their impact on the environment. What's great about it is that even though at some points you hate them you still love them for what they're trying to do.
I hadn't heard much by the Flaming Lips before I watched this film, but I knew I had to be better acquainted once I saw it. It will knock your sock off!
Babies (2010) (on netflix instant watch)
Alright, so this is a no-brainer. Adorable babies, check. Amazing landscapes, check. It has everything going for it. If you'd really like to kick things up a notch, and well, we did, play a drinking game to it. We took a drink every time a baby cried for more than three seconds, but I think if did every time you saw a tit you'd be feeling pretty good by the end as well.
Herb & Dorothy (2008)
This darling little couple loves to collect art like no one I've seen. They have jam packed their tiny tiny apartment and saved money in all kinds of ways (like by only having dial-up internet gasp!) in order to afford more art. Because of this they have great stories to tell and a priceless pieces of art.
And I can't leave out my favorite mokumentary:
Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)
I laugh out loud every single time I see this movie. If you haven't seen it yet, then you need to see it now. I mean it, NOW!
I'm sure some really great ones didn't make it up here, what are your favorite documentaries? Any recommendations?

Monday Morning
I love the morning light that comes through the windows by my desk. The clouds are moving so fast and the wind blows through the trees as I sit here typing away.
I can't believe that Thanksgiving is this week! Leanne and I must firm up our Thanksgiving meal plans but we're trying to figure out the best way to do it on the cheap. When I was wandering around the internets I found a recipe for Bacon Pumpkin Pie which sounds oh so very tempting.

I think I'm going to make something like this for all of my clothes, I just need to take some pictures.

More Travel Adventures
On our way back to Austin from Houston, we decided to stay in San Antonio instead! San Antonio turned out to be quite the touristy town and the Alamo was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, but it was fantastic! The River Walk is a windy water-way that is below street level and is lined with shops, restaurants, and bars. Kind of reminded me of Disneyland a bit. I definitely want to go back and explore it at night!
|Some of the sections didn't have any railing, so if you get too drunky you might end up swimming with the fishes!
|Oh so very Texas.

Traveling Through Texas
Since my mom was here for a few days we thought we would head south and check out Houston. It was actually much cooler and bigger than I thought! They have tons of recycled clothing stores and some pretty good food as well. I'll post pictures from our detour through San Antonio tomorrow.

To mitigate the burden of motor vehicle owners from the recent third party premium hike, the General Insurance Officers All India Association (GIOAIA) has asked the Union Government to withdraw service tax on insurance premium. The service tax rate that started at 5 per cent has now become 12.24 per cent.
Mr P.P. Mohanan, State Vice-President of the Association, has urged the Centre and PSU general insurers to enlighten the public and policy holders regarding the circumstances that has led to the third party premium hike. "The premium hike was inevitable as the third party claim ratio is 250 per cent," he pointed out.
Since the third party premium was unattractive, the burden of loss-making third party insurance was mainly on the four public sector general insurance companies alone. If the freedom to fix third party insurance premium was given to insurance companies, the premium amount will be much more due to the high claim ratio, the Association said.
As per the new system, all third party motor insurance premium and claims will be managed by the Indian Motor Insurance Pool, which will be controlled by the General Insurance Corporation of India. The third party claim loss amount is to be shared by the 13 non-life insurance companies, according to their market share.
As a result of de-tariffing, premium rates will be reduced in profit making segments like fire and engineering. Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority has allowed a maximum reduction of 20 per cent on fire and engineering, and 10 per cent on motor `own damage' portions, a press release issued here has said.

The Exceptional Malt, Grain and Blend from Don Sutcliffe and former Managing Director of The Macallan Willie Phillips launch in the UK.
Available on Master of Malt today are three new Scotch whiskies from American independent bottler Sutcliffe & Son, brought to the UK by Number One Drinks. Called 'The Exceptional', the chaps behind them are none other than Willie Phillips, who was Managing Director of The Macallan between 1978 and 1996 (crucial years for the development of this famous single malt, of course) and Craft Distillers Managing Director Don Sutcliffe who worked with him to grow The Macallan in the US back in the late 1980s. Friends for 25 years, The Exceptional is something of a passion project for them both, working also with Master Blender Bill Arthur.

Almost everybody have been asking me why obtain such (at the very least) unique degree in college. Well, aside from its being new and unique during that time here are 5 of my most thought of reasons why I took up environmental science in college.
1. Solutions to today's problems need my scientific knowledge on the environment.
"Many environmental scientists protect the environment through jobs in solid and hazardous waste management, land use, and air or water quality. Their understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics helps them assess environmental quality and find ways to protect air, water, and land."
Purdue University Environmental Science Recruitment Brochure
2. It's definitely needed in the future.
"The number of jobs for environmental scientists is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through 2018. As population grows, it takes more work to keep the environment clean. Also, more people are becoming aware of environmental problems and want to fix them. Businesses and governments will also hire scientists to make sure they are following stricter environmental laws."
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
3. The government needs my expertise.
"This science-supported, centralized approach to protecting the environment and the public health has yielded considerable gains. Although robust, long-term indicators of progress are unfortunately not available, there is little debate that, absent the current framework, environmental conditions … would be considerably worse than they are today."
New Roles for Science in Environmental Decision Making: Discussion Paper
4. More people are already aware but more still needs to be informed.
The world is changing faster now than at any time since the last ice-age 10,000 years ago and the major cause of that change is man. To allow the changes to continue unchecked is reckless at the least. Monitoring those changes and being able to convince others that we have to do or not do activities that affect the environment will take well qualified people with the relevant environmental science degree."
An Environmental Science Degree: An Investment In The Future
5. It's a hero's job.
10 Jobs for Superheroes: Jobs That Make the World a Better Place
These are just some of the reasons why I am confident that I made the right choice in college. In the first place I did not think about these reasons myself. Somebody else thought about it and there are at least five of them.
Please leave comments below.

They seem very ordinary to us but not everyone has the opportunity to watch the metamorphic life cycle take place on a regular basis. My childhood is sprinkled with memories of these caterpillars and butterflies. Our home in California had the passion vines that the caterpillars live on, growing all along our back fence. It was the neighbor's but it was so enormous and robust it completely climbed over the fence into our yard. It was beautiful and it was COVERED with cute (to us) spikey, spunky caterpillars. I don't know when or why exactly but we started bringing the caterpillars inside, putting them in a big glass jar and watch them grow and turn into butterflies.
After moving to AZ it was quite a few years before my mom bought some passion vines and started a butterfly garden so to speak.
My mom is
obsessed over fond of them. Everyday she checks the vines for predators and kills any that may be lurking, she covers them with a net at times to keep the birds away (because contrary to popular belief, the spikes do not ward off birds, she has personally witnessed a bird snatching up a large, juicy caterpillar and flying off with it.) She brings in the caterpillars she finds to her indoor nursery on the kitchen windowsill so they won't get eaten. We never get tired of watching a new butterfly that we have known from a tiny egg break out of its chrysalis and fly away.

Source: Clinton Proposing Summit in July
President Clinton has asked Israelis and Palestinians to come to the United States for a three-way summit later this month, a source close to the negotiations said Wednesday, reported The Associated Press.
The source, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said Clinton was planning to announce the summit, apparently planned for July 11th and to last several days, later Wednesday in Washington. The source did not say whether the two sides have accepted the offer.
Asked to confirm the report, a US Embassy spokesman in Tel Aviv declined comment, referring questions to the White House. White House officials were not immediately available for comment, said the AP.
Saeb Erekat, one of the Palestinian negotiators, told the agency he has not been informed that a summit would be convened soon. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's office declined immediate comment; Barak was in Europe, holding talks with British and French leaders.
Clinton has been considering whether to call a summit with Barak and Arafat ever since a visit last week by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, said the AP.
The object of the summit would be to hammer out a framework for a peace treaty. Israel has said it favors a summit, but the Palestinians have been saying the gaps are still too wide – Albawaba.com

Nick Montana, the son of legendary Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Joe Montana, announced Monday that he will play for Tulane next season.
"We are very excited about the addition of Nick to our program," Tulane football Coach Curtis Johnson said. "He was very high on our list for this year's class. Nick is a highly intelligent player who has a very accurate arm and has incredible leadership skills, and he is a proven winner. We will have a young group of quarterbacks next season so we made it a priority to bring in an experienced player at that position. We believe Nick will have an immediate impact on our program."
Montana played for Mt. San Antonio College last season, earning first-team All-Southern California Football Assn. honors after leading the Mounties to a spot in the conference title game.
"I was sold on Tulane after my official visit," Montana said. "I was very impressed with Coach Johnson and the coaching staff and I really liked the system and the direction the program is heading. I knew Tulane was a great academic school and I look forward to studying for my business degree. I also hope to help lead the team into conference title contention and playing in bowl games. My expectations are very high and I am looking forward to joining the team and getting started this spring."

In a society of assumed male superiority, countless awakened women have fought for equality, identity and value. In her novella, The Awakening, Kate Chopin paints the picture of a woman realizing the anguish she experiences towards the stereotype of the 1890?s ?mother-woman?, which she is expected to embody (51). As the work progresses, Edna, realizing her need for self expression and personal identity, abandons the social constraints to which she is expected to conform and joins the company of awakened women fighting to escape the clutches of their expected fates.
Edna had always subsisted, recognizing her ?dual life?that outward existence which conforms, the inward life which questions? (57). Surrounded by images of ?mother-women? women who idolized their children, worshiped their husbands, and esteemed it a holy privilege to efface themselves as individuals and grow wings as ministering angels?, Edna assumed that, although she was an inquisitive individual inwardly, she was obligated to mimic the actions of the devout wife stereotype.
Societal expectations forced Edna into the ?conforming outward existence? which she was forced to personify prior to her awakening. Although Edna is eventually awakened to the pitfalls of the ?colorless existence which never uplifted its possessor beyond the region of blind contentment? of mother-women, the inability for those surrounding her to be awakened, leads to Edna?s isolation and misery (107).
Prior to her awakening, Edna allows herself to be viewed as property. Mrs. Pontellier returns from a midday swim and allows her husband to scold her as if she were a child for the sunburn she returned with. ??You are burnt beyond recognition?, he added, looking at his wife as one looks at a valuable piece of personal property which has suffered some damage? (44). It is obvious to Edna?s subconscious that she is being degraded in her marriage. ?An indescribable oppression, which seemed to generate in some unfamiliar part of her consciousness, filled her whole being with a vague anguish. It was like a shadow, like a mist passing across her soul?s summer day? (49). Edna is undoubtedly trapped before her awakening. After the series of epiphanies Edna experiences, resulting in a newfound need for self expression, Edna cannot escape the trap she had been caught in prior to the awakening. ?The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings? (138). Edna has the will of a strong winged bird but she cannot awaken abandonment of suffocating societal standard in those around her. Although Edna has ?[cast] aside the fictitious self which we assume like a garment with which to appear to the world?, Robert, blinded by the conventions of society, views her not as in individual, but as Mrs. Pontellier, the wife and possession of Mr. Pontellier, whom he cannot love as his equal (108).
Realizing that the standards of society were too strong for Robert to overcome, discovering that, in life, she will always be isolated because of these standards, Edna resolves to ?swim far out, where no woman had swum before?(73). Edna permanently escapes the isolation and vague anguish that she had felt since childhood ?like a new-born creature, opening its eyes in a familiar world that it had never known? (175). Repression of women was first nature in 1980?s American society. Husbands, lovers, and mother-women conformed to this ideology, forcing the green and yellow parrots to speak ?a language which nobody understood, unless it was the mocking-bird that hung on the other side of the door? (43).

Labour's Louise Ellman was tonight confident she would retain her Riverside seat and see off the challenge of Green Party rival Martin Dobson.
With all five Liverpool constituencies billed as safe seats, Mr Dobson's campaign was touted by some as the biggest threat to Labour's dominance on the city's political scene.
But while Mr Dobson admitted he was expecting no more than a strong second place in the parliamentary elections, he said his party looked set for success in the council elections.
Follow all the action on our live General Election 2015 and local election feed.
Mr Dobson, who had been bullish of the Green Party's chances in Riverside in recent weeks, said initial indications were that he would finish second.
He told the ECHO: "I feel I'm definitely in second place, which is what I expected. I'm not feeling incredibly optimistic about winning but I feel we have achieved a huge amount. The main thing we wanted to do in the city was raise our profile from being a local issue party to a national party.
Buoyant about the local election count though, Mr Dobson predicted the Greens would strengthen their position as Labour's main opposition on Liverpool council, potentially winning three seats on Friday.
Ms Ellman, who has held Riverside since 1997, said the opposition had to "be taken seriously" but that she was "encouraged" by the support she had seen for Labour and anticipated she would retain her seat.
She was the first of the politicians who won in Liverpool back in 2010 to appear at tonight's count, which is taking place at Wavertree Tennis Centre.
Across the seats of Riverside, Wavertree, West Derby, Walton and Garston and Halewood, 31 candidates are fighting for a place in Westminster with a potential electorate of 332,490.
Yet with Labour having won each seat by a majority running into the thousands back in 2010, the biggest competition is expected to be for second place in each constituency - and to see who will collect 5% of the vote and win their £500 deposit back.

IN THE MATTER OF KALEB U., ALLEGED TO BE A NEGLECTED CHILD.COLUMBIA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, RESPONDENT;v.HEATHER V., APPELLANT, ET AL., RESPONDENT.RYAN U., RESPONDENT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Spain, J.P.
Calendar Date: September 16, 2010
Before: Spain, J.P., Rose, Kavanagh, McCarthy and Egan Jr., JJ.
Appeal from an order and an amended order of the Family Court of Columbia County (Nichols, J.), entered October 21, 2009 and November 19, 2009, which granted petitioner's application, in a proceeding pursuant to Family Ct Act article 10, to adjudicate the subject child to be neglected.
Respondent Heather V. (hereinafter the mother) and Ryan U. (hereinafter the father) are the unmarried parents of a son (born in 2003) (hereinafter the child). The child was diagnosed with leukemia in June 2008. Pursuant to a custody order, made on consent in Columbia County, the parents shared joint legal and physical custody. The father resides with his girlfriend in Columbia County and the mother lives in Dutchess County with her fiancé, respondent Shaun RR. (hereinafter the fiancé), her elder son and the fiancé's daughter.
In May 2009, petitioner commenced this proceeding against the mother and the fiancé alleging, among other things, that they had alcohol abuse problems which resulted in violent altercations between them while the child was in their care. At the initial hearing on the neglect petition, at which the father appeared with counsel, Family Court issued a temporary order of protection that also granted the father temporary custody of the child with supervised visitation to the mother.*fn1 After the fact-finding hearing, Family Court found that the mother and the fiancé had neglected the child, in that they had abused alcohol and engaged in acts of violence in the presence of and close proximity to the child, causing risk to his health and safety. At the conclusion of the subsequent dispositional hearing, the court ordered that the mother and the fiancé be placed under the supervision of petitioner, that the child be placed in the custody of the father (see Family Ct Act § 1055) and, in an order of protection, that the mother's access to the child be supervised for 12 months. The mother now appeals.*fn2
In this Family Ct Act article 10 proceeding, petitioner bears the burden of proving neglect by a preponderance of the evidence (see Family Ct Act § 1046 [b] [i]). To establish neglect, petitioner was required to show "first, that a child's physical, mental or emotional condition has been impaired or is in imminent danger of becoming impaired and second, that the actual or threatened harm to the child is a consequence of the failure of the parent or caretaker to exercise a minimum degree of care in providing the child with proper supervision or guardianship" (Nicholson v Scoppetta, 3 NY3d 357, 368 [2004]; see Family Ct Act § 1012 [f] [i] [B]; Matter of Shiree G. [Robert E.], 74 AD3d 1416, 1417 [2010]). Imminent danger "must be near or impending, not merely possible"; thus, petitioner must show "serious harm or potential harm to the child, not just . . . what might be deemed undesirable parental behavior" (Nicholson v Scoppetta, 3 NY3d at 369; see Matter of Anthony Y. [Kelly AA. -- Paul AA.], 72 AD3d 1419, 1421 [2010]; Matter of John O., 42 AD3d 687, 687 [2007]). "As to the second element of neglect, parental behavior must be evaluated objectively by using the reasonable and prudent parent standard" (Matter of Richard T., 12 AD3d 986, 987 [2004] [citation omitted]; see Matter of Anthony Y. [Kelly AA. -- Paul AA.], 72 AD3d at 1421), and Family Court's findings of fact are accorded deference and will not be disturbed unless they lack a sound and substantial basis in the record (see Matter of Karissa NN., 19 AD3d 766, 766 [2006]).
The record fully supports Family Court's conclusion that the mother's actions created an unreasonable risk of imminent danger to the child's health and safety and that the mother failed to exercise a minimum degree of care with respect to the child. The testimony of the mother's teenaged nieces, which the court found to be credible, established that, on the evening of March 2, 2009, the mother became intoxicated and engaged in bizarre behavior in a moving vehicle by hanging out the front passenger window, singing and yelling at cars and smacking the fiancé "really hard" in the face when he tried to pull her back in the vehicle. The child was present in the back seat. Their testimony also demonstrated that the child was upset by the mother's dangerous behavior and that, later that night, the intoxicated mother punched the fiancé in the course of an argument causing him to suffer a bloody nose and a black eye. Although the child did not directly witness this incident, the testimony supports the conclusion that he was aware of it and was frightened. Petitioner also presented evidence that the mother and the fiancé had engaged in argumentative and violent behavior -- choking each other -- on another occasion when the child was present and the child had attempted to intervene, telling the fiancé to "[l]et go of my mommy." That testimony was amply corroborated by the child's out-of-court statements to a child protective caseworker which were properly received as substantive evidence of the mother's aggressive behavior, often after her consumption of alcohol, and of her tumultuous relationship with the fiancé (see Family Ct Act § 1046 [a] [vi]; Matter of Kole HH., 61 AD3d 1049, 1051 [2009], lv dismissed 12 NY3d 898 [2009]). Viewing the mother's pattern of behavior objectively, there is a sound and substantial basis for Family Court's neglect finding against her (see Matter of Michael WW., 20 AD3d 609, 611-612 [2005]; Matter of Karissa NN., 19 AD3d at 767; Matter of Tami G., 209 AD2d 869, 870 [1994], lv denied 85 NY2d 804 [1995]; compare Matter of Alyssa OO. [Andrew PP.], 68 AD3d 1158, 1160-1161 [2009]; Matter of Shannon ZZ., 8 AD3d 699, 701 [2004]; Matter of Jerrica J., 2 AD3d 1161, 1163 [2003]). Significantly, throughout the period during which these incidents occurred, the child's health was already compromised, a special vulnerability to be taken into account in the assessment of the requisite minimum degree of care (see Nicholson v Scoppetta, 3 NY3d at 370-371; Matter of Sayeh R., 91 NY2d 306, 315 [1997]).
We next reject the mother's assertion that Family Court's dispositional order should have allowed her to have unsupervised visitation with the child. A "dispositional order must reflect a resolution consistent with the best interests of the child[] after consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances" (Matter of Alaina E., 33 AD3d 1084, 1087 [2006]; see Matter of Elijah Q., 36 AD3d 974, 976 [2007], lv denied 8 NY3d 809 [2007]), and "[t]he determination of whether visitation should be supervised is a matter left to Family Court's sound discretion and it will not be disturbed as long as there is a sound and substantial basis in the record to support it" (Matter of Taylor v Fry, 47 AD3d 1130, 1131 [2008] [internal quotation marks and citation omitted]; see Matter of Isaac Q., 53 AD3d 731, 731 [2008]; Matter of Peet v Parker, 23 AD3d 940, 941 [2005]).
Here, the record reflects that, on more than one occasion, the mother engaged in violent arguments with the fiancé in front of their children, used marihuana while caring for this vulnerable child and submitted a diluted urine sample to a drug test in May 2009. Although the mother testified at the dispositional hearing that she and the fiancé were attending a weekly couples counseling program, the evidence suggests that their domestic violence issues were not being fully addressed in that program. Considering all of the circumstances of this case, we do not find that Family Court's dispositional order was an abuse of discretion (see Matter of Pettengill v Kirley, 25 AD3d 935, 935-936 [2006]).

Website Translation: Reviewing Source Files and CMS Workflows
April 08, 2013
They say a project is either won or lost in the scoping and planning phase or before it ever begins. I could not agree more. As with any website translation project, planning and project management are critical!
Each step in the process involves several key professionals with specific domain expertise and skills. The team members that may be involved throughout a website translation project include:
- Account Manager
- Project Manager
- Localization Engineers
- Web CMS Specialists
- Web Designers
- Web Developers
- Language Lead Translators
- Editors & Copywriters
- Global SEM Specialists
- Desktop Publishers
- Multimedia Specialists
Of course the most important team member is the CLIENT, whose collaboration and communication are critical throughout the project from project planning to client review and approval along the way.
The first steps in the actual website translation process should include:
Step 1: A review & analysis of source website assets
Step 2: A discussion on best practices for multilingual workflows based on your web content management system (WCMS)
Step 1: Review & analysis of source website assets
The review and analysis of your content and assets is the first step. We will assume you already applied best practices in the creation and implementation of a web content strategy to your English content/site (look for future GPI blogs on web content strategy).
Your translation agency partner should collect all source files (what we call a "localization kit") from your website including all digital assets. This can be done manually or through the functionality of a web content management system if you are using one and your site is already populated with your final source language content.
These files are prepared in order to get a word count, preserve any mark-up/coding and to utilize a translation memory tool workflow when translating. The project and content are analyzed for:
- word count
- localizable graphics and multimedia
- target languages and subject matter
- documentation on the website
- SEO requirements
- any content management systems and workflows to be used
Step 2: Best practices for multilingual workflows based on CMS (content extract-reimport-site updates)
Most websites today are powered by web content management systems (CMS) and best practices in web content management strategy leverage these platforms to author, store, and publish content from a central CMS. Website translation projects can be completed under a variety of client-driven workflows including:
- Directly inputting translations into a web content management system
- Working with content exported to XML or other formats to localize and reimport
- Using a translation services connector between a CMS and a translation agency
Based on the web content management system (CMS) being used, as well as a company's web resources available (authors, editors, copywriters, translators, etc…), a client and translation partner will determine and test best practice workflows to author, export, translate, import, provide online QA and publish content.

TightWire Alignment
Tight wire alignment is a technique for measuring straightness of large equipment components. (example supplier) It has a long history although it has been largely displaced by optical methods. It may be appropriate for creating straight movement axes in lathes, torch tables, and other machine tools (especially appropriate for concrete-bed, grouted-ways designs in a start-from-scratch model).
A wire stretched between two points establishes a nearly straight line. Gravity causes a sag which can be predicted accurately if the tension (e.g. from a hanging weight) and wire material are known. The distance from the wire to an object of interest (e.g. a guideway, bearing housing, travelling slide, etc) is usually measured manually with a micrometer device which "beeps" on electrical contact with the wire.
Optical sensor
As an alternative to manual micrometers, a close-up camera may observe the wire position. Kevan Hashimi at Open Source Instruments describes such an instrument for scientific work. Here we describe a low-cost adaptation to the machine-alignment task. The procedure for aligning ways is
- If no carriage exists yet, fabricate a kinematic slider to ride on the ways
- Place brackets (if necessary) and string a tight wire parallel to the ways.
- One wire support is a pulley wheel; hang a dead-weight for tension.
- Mount the mirror assembly (described below) to the carriage or slider, centered on the tight wire.
- Attach a video camera to the carriage, looking into the mirrors. Close focus ("macro") is useful.
- Run the carriage up the ways, recording video
- run processing program on the video, which will report deviations along the travel (sensitivity better than 0.0005 inch should be achievable)
- adjust ways with shims, repeat tightwire measurement.
- apply grout and allow to harden, holding ways in permanent alignment.
This sensor relies on a single camera looking at images of the tight wire in two small mirrors. The assumption is that some kind of electronic camera (webcam, cell phone, etc) will be available on an ad hoc basis, but is not permanently dedicated to the instrument.
Proof of concept
Note: This is just a proof on concept "mock up", I don't think this design is stable enough to be usable yet.
For testing I used an LG Optimus cell phone camera. This camera can capture stills and moving video.
Parts of the optical sensor:
I used nylon "invisible thread" 0.005-inch diameter. Steel would probably be better (more opaque, for starters).
The mirrors are placed so that the images of the wire (when centered) are colinear with the reference marks. By doing the video measurements relative to the reference marks we make the exact location of the camera non-critical.
Set up for checking lathe way straightness
The company where I work has a lathe, so I set up this trial on it.
Sample camera frame:
Clearly some repositioning of the mirrors would help. Ideally we could get a reflected image comparable to this (which was taken with the same cellphone camera, but with no mirrors and a more careful setup):
The necessary image processing program has not been written. It could possibly be written as a macro in ImageJ, a great open-source image/vision program.
Features needed:
- Extract centerlines of wire images (one in each mirror)
- Extract centerlines of reference lines
- Establish displacement of wire image from reference line
- Establish scale factor from spacing between the two reference lines
- Adjust for angle between the two reflected sightlines (it won't be exactly 90 degrees)
- Adjust for wire sag (need to know tension weight and density of wire material)
- Report table of x- and y- deviations from centerline along travel distance.
- Report deviations from straightness (i.e. deviation from best-fit straight line)
