NEW YORK-Compact discs won't skip. They'll play even if you scratch them. Unless you break them or set them on fire, they'll last forever. That's the sales pitch the recording industry used to convince America to switch from vinyl records to CDs. But, as anyone who owns a hairy dog or cat knows, CDs do skip. And as anyone who uses them to store computer files knows, digital data stored on them eventually vanishes in a mysterious phenomenon called "data rot." "With proper care this compact disc will last a lifetime," promised the packaging on the first digital recordings. Now experts wonder whether they'll make it 20 years.
Without discussion or debate, humanity has committed itself to the wholesale digitalization of its collective cultural and historical information base. Music, movies, manuscripts, everything from letters between presidents to merchants' financial transactions are currently created and stored in strictly digital form-a development that fulfills George Orwell's prophecy that history would become mutable, now with a few keystrokes. Even more terrifying than the likelihood that the digitalization of history will be abused in the service of tyranny is the certainty that we are setting the stage for the greatest loss of knowledge since the destruction of the Royal Library at Alexandria.
Data is created in a bewildering variety of programs, even within the same type of application (say, word processing). Few are interchangeable, differing operating systems conflict within the same program, and they go out of date with alarming speed. Files created in WordPerfect, until fairly recently the nation's dominant word processing program, are quickly becoming as irretrievable as ragtime songs recorded on brown wax phonograph cylinders. It is conceivable that a few librarians will keep around some antique Wangs and Commodore 64s in order to access digital archives. And a tiny proportion of data will be transferred and adapted to successor formats. But for most computer users, data created on obsolete software and hardware might as well have never existed.
There are two kinds of digital data storage media: magnetic and optical. Zip and Jaz discs, heirs to the floppies of the '90s, get corrupted from "magnetic particle instability," "tape lubricant loss," "self-demagnetization," and exposure to electromagnetic devices (like computers and other electronic gadgets). Once you hear what Zip disc users call the "click of death," it's over. Digital data works on the pass/fail basis: It's either all available or it's all gone.
Recordable CDs and DVDs have mostly replaced magnetic storage devices. But those go bad, too. CDs and DVDs, explains USA Today tech writer Andrew Cantor, "have two layers encased in clear plastic: a reflective layer and a transparent dye layer. When you 'burn' a disc, your CD or DVD writer fires a laser at that dye to create dark spots that don't let the reflective coating shine through. Your computer reads the dark and reflective spots as the ones and zeros of your data. But some dyes are better than others. After a while, those burned-in opaque spots start to get less opaque. The disc fails."
It is impossible to fathom how much of our cultural patrimony has been lost to the failings of analog storage devices. Paper burns, film disintegrates, canvas molders. But there are two crucial differences between these pre-digital formats and what we're leaving future generations of historians. First, analog isn't pass/fail. You can see, and possibly restore, a stained or faded photograph. Moreover, while the majority of books printed 400 years ago have been destroyed, a few remain. Those survivors provide a tantalizing glimpse into the larger lost history. Had they been stored digitally, however, the loss would have been total: Every word of every last one would have succumbed to data rot.
Is there an alternative? Cantor says yes: "For long-term storage of documents, you can't beat paper."
This is an issue like global warming, one with such devastating implications and calling for such Herculean solutions that most people would rather not think about it. And like global warming, it's a problem that we simply have to solve.
Our ancestors left us records describing how they lived, starting with the clay tablets of hieroglyphs that ancient Sumerians used as sales receipts on up through FDR's personal letters to Churchill (typed on paper, with several carbon copies for redundant storage in scattered government warehouses). We owe the same to those whose past is our present. Government and business must lead the way. Unless we start backing up and storing everything of importance on more reliable media like paper and photographic film, however, we will betray that obligation. Our songs, our stories, our controversies, the rich tapestry of life at this particular place at this particular time will all be lost. We'll be dead; worse than that, it will be as if we had never existed.
This column was written in Word for Mac OS X on a two-year-old Mac G4 tower with dual 733 MHz processors, distributed via e-mail and archived in an online bulletin board vulnerable to hackers, worms, viruses, fire or other problems at the base station site, and data rot. It will not last 400 years. Unless it is reprinted in a book, it will probably not last 40.

The following excerpt has been provided by Xpresso Book Tours. Thank you to them and to the author, Matthew S Cox. A Fantasy YA telling the story of a Princess who must choose between duty and her heart's desire – The Eldritch Heart is available from 1st August 2017. I hope the below whets your appetite!
Half-dressed, Oona paced a circle about the center of her bedchamber, equal parts annoyed and worried. She held her gown to her chest, still open down the back, with the laces trailing after her. Kitlyn hadn't answered the summons of her pulling on the rope, which should've caused a bell in the hall to ring. Not that she so much demanded the other girl dress her, but most of her gowns required assistance getting into.
Where is she?
Early afternoon sun stretched in long rectangles across the floor, split into shadows cast by the columns of her balcony. She frowned at the wavering treetops outside; they reminded her of a world much larger than a castle. A world she'd not seen in about two years.
"Tenebrea take whoever started this war." She hurried to the thick golden cord again, which resembled a braid of her hair, and tugged at it while holding fabric to her chest with her other hand. The faint jingle of a bell came from beyond the door. Oona fumed for a minute or two before a soft knock sounded upon the wood.
"Princess?" asked Elsbeth. "Are you all right?"
"Where is my handmaiden?"
The door opened enough to allow the First Maid to peer in. Aside from a few stray threads, her mouse-brown hair sat in a neat bun. Her delicate hand sprouted from a white frill at the end of a billowy grey sleeve, and grasped the wood above the knob. "Forgive me, Highness. I am unaware of the girl's whereabouts. I do not know why she would not answer your summons."
Oona narrowed her eyes. "Yes, indeed. Why would Kitlyn be too busy to attend to me?"
Elsbeth broke eye contact, looking down. "May I be of assistance, Highness?"
"Fine." Oona turned her back. "Since you're here."
An air of smug victory wafted off the slightly older servant girl as she stole up behind Oona and set to the task of lacing the gown.
They'll all think me mad or spiteful if I send this one to the kitchens without proof. Oona jostled as the girl tightened laces, tied one set, and moved up to the next. The long sapphire-blue velvet gown had fourteen individual ribbons down the back, which Elsbeth worked into elegant bows. Oona glanced sideways at the mirror to watch Elsbeth, annoyed by her victorious smile. She didn't want to attend to Oona out of any sense of loyalty or friendship; she believed it her station by birth. Perhaps if I tell them how I feel about Kit, no one else would want to be so near me. She sighed, worried to the point of sickness for a few seconds at the thought of Kitlyn reacting the same way.
"All done," chimed Elsbeth. "And don't you look radiant, Highness!" She fussed at Oona's hair for a moment. "Getting a touch long." A finger pressed into her back close to where her bottom started. "It is lovely, but perhaps time to shorten it, ma'am?"
"It's fine for now." Oona looked down past a spread of embroidered flowers on her chest and front, at the tips of her black shoes peeking from beneath the hem. She'd worn the plain ones, unconcerned with opinion. "Thank you Elsbeth, that is all."
"Do you need―"
"That is all, Elsbeth. Thank you." Oona cringed inwardly at the imperious tone in her voice, harsher than she had intended. She hated using it, but her father often warned her about seeming too 'nice.' People would not be slow to take advantage. It helped that she didn't have much fondness for this girl.
"Yes, Highness." Elsbeth clasped her hands in front, bowed, and walked out.
After taking a few minutes to calm herself, Oona left her bedchamber and stopped at Kitlyn's room, unsurprisingly empty. She strolled to the garderobe at the end of the curved hall, also empty. A momentary worry seized her mind. She'd once heard a story of assassins climbing up the toilet shaft to gain entry. Her skin crawled. The thought of someone doing that horrified her more than the idea of being killed in her sleep.

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised."
Proverbs 31:30
Heidi was not too excited about her birthday because she's 35. Her take on that was that in five years she would be 40. I told her I'd love to be forty. But 35 is even better. My 35th birthday was in Hong Kong and we had just received out furniture and an amah and I was still rather homesick though things were looking up.
In the morning Heidi called and we chatted and then it was decided that Annie would go over to her house and make her breakfast. Annie was in a down mood because she thought that Heidi was going to spend time dinking around with Corey and not her. Well anyway, that was not the case, and I thought thinks needed a more cheerier start, so I decided that she should come over to my house for breakfast, especially as the kitchen was bathed in sunshine.
Riley dashed out for bacon, boysenberry yogurt, and orange juice, Annie made the crepe batter, and I made strawberry sauce and rhubarb sauce, and I think Annie set the table. Corey was in bed. I had found frozen strawberries in the upstairs refrigerator, and fresh Oregon berries in the basement refrigerator, and frozen green rhubarb in the basement freezer.
strawberry sauce
1 pound frozen whole berries
1/2 pound fresh berries, quartered
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
Put all but the fresh berries into a pot and heat up. When the frozen berries have thawed out, take a potato masher and smoosh the berries. At the last minute add the fresh berries, and heat slightly. Pour into a serving bowl.
rhubarb sauce
1 pound frozen green rhubarb
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup sugar, or to taste
Put everything into a pot, cook until mushy, taste, and adjust sugar as desired. Pour into a serving bowl.
By 9:45 we all sat down for breakfast. Well, everyone but me, as I was standing at the stove making crepes. I was only making two at a time, because I just didn't feel alert enough to make three at a time. Some of Heidi's presents were opened. Corey gave her a fancy little purse and a funny calender of women in the fifties and sixties saying rude remarks. Riley and I gave her the AG art easel. Emily was all over that one, but Heidi didn't seem to sure about it.
After breakfast Riley left for work and the girls all headed out to have a fun day. They went shopping on Hawthorne and later met up with Sarah and Zac and they all went out to lunch at Todai, where there the birthday person eats for free. After lunch they did more shopping. Shopping seemed to be what Heidi wanted to do - shopping.
After they all left I set to cleaning the kitchen and cooking. I decided that I would cook my second Danish braid that was the Daring Baker project for June. The dough looked a little bit affected by its stay in the refrigerator for two weeks, but not bad really. This time I decided that i was NOT going to try and roll it out to the huge dimensions required by the original recipe. It rolled out very nicely. I decided that I would put on some strawberry jam that I had made and the the left-over rhubarb sauce from breakfast.
Then I got the bread started. I decided to use the white hard wheat flour that I had purchased at Bob's Red Mill. It turns out that it was thoroughly whole wheat flour, not white about it. I probably should have started a new batch, as the bread was for Heidi's birthday dinner, but I didn't. It turned out to be the most whole wheat bread I ever made.
Then I made the pie crust dough. I knew that what I needed was two bottom crusts and two lattice crusts. I decided that i would make the dough needed for three regular crusts, and then divide it four ways.
pastry dough for two rhubarb pies
14 ounces of flour
scant teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 sticks of cold butter, diced up
about 3 tablespoons of Crisco
1/2 cup iced water
In the food processor mix the flour, sugar, and salt.
Add the butter and Crisco and pulse until it looks like very course cornmeal.
Drizzle on the iced water, and pulse for a few seconds.
Dump the mixture into a fairly large bowl, and moosh it together into a solid lump.
Weigh the dough and divide in half. Then divide each one in half roughly, making one lump two ounces heavier than the other. Now in my case the dough weighed 28 ounces, so half was 14. Then for each half I ended up with one lump weighing 8 ounces and the other weighing 6. Wrap all the lumps in plastic wrap and squish into discs, making sure to keep the big and little lumps together for each pie.
Emily and I ate a few of the left-over crepes for lunch, and then headed out to find some rhubarb, corn on the cob, and lettuce and fruit for the salad. But on the way I decided that we would stop at Laurelhurst Park and go for a walk and see the ducks. Emily had a wonderful time, but it was very hot in spots. She particularly liked throwing pebbles into the lake while the ducks watched her. But eventually I needed to get going and I had to throw screaming Emily over my shoulder and hall her off. The over the shoulder bit amused her and she stopped screaming.
Trying to find decent priced produce has become very difficult, and this is complicated by the fact that gas is so expensive, so one doesn't want to go driving about. At Zupan's corn was either 4 for $5, or 5 for $4, neither price seeming satisfactory. And they had no rhubarb , and lettuce was $1.99 a head. So we bought olives (both Emily and I are passionate about olives) and left. Next I went to Uncle Paul's Market, where there was no corn or rhubarb, and I bought two heads of Romain lettuce, which later proved to be a bit tough. Back in the car Emily fell asleep, so I decided that I would go to a Starbuck's drive-thru for an iced double coffee and the gift card for Heidi. Then on to QFC, which was going to be my last stop no matter what! I got sleeping Emily out of the car, layed her against my shoulder, and she never woke up until I had to get my debit card out of my purse at the check-out stand. I managed to get rhubarb and corn for $1 an ear. Oh well. It was very good corn.
Back home I started right in on the bread and pies. I got the loaves in the pan to rise, and set up for making the pies. Before long everyone showed back up. It turned out that Christian would not be back from his grandparents in Klamath until around 11 o'clock, so there was six of us, and we could easily eat in the garden. The pies went together perfectly, I was really pleased. I also put the Danish in to bake, as it had been sitting on the table since noon, and it was now 5 o'clock. The pies finally went into the oven at about 6:10, and came out at around 7:10 or so. I so don't like to have an undercooked rhubarb custard pie. And the ribs for dinner, being cooked by Annie on the barbecue, were ready to go at about 7:30, as well as the corn. We ate some time shortly after that, and because of the rush I did not get anymore pictures. But it was a very nice dinner, and we all made a mess eating the beef ribs. The recipe for the ribs is very very simple, and I'll need to get it sometime.
At a rather unreasonable hour, sometime after 9, we had pie and opened the rest of the presents, which Emily calls prizes. The pie was perfect and everyone went mmmmmmmmmm. It was asked why should you have birthday cake, when you can have birthday pie. And they all agreed that the only really good pies they've ever tasted are made by our family. I have in fact taught all my daughters to make pie. Each girl has a specialty.
"The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity
in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives."

Israel is Advanced on LGBT rights
Israel is an oasis in an otherwise-barren Middle East for LGBT rights. A number of Palestinian LGBT individuals who experience persecution seek asylum in Tel Aviv, a city that hosts an annual gay pride parade that attracts more than 100,000 people, and was voted "Best of Gay Cities 2011" in an American Airlines survey.
"I see LGBT rights as part of an overal social justice, the right of a human to live as he/she is without masks is a basic right," Shai Deutsch, chairman of Aguda, the national association of the LGBT community in Israel, told JNS.org in an email.
LGBT individuals have equal rights in most realms of life in Israel, and varioius anti-discrimination laws have been passed. Israel has also signed the United Nations' Gay Rights Protection Resolution (2011) and recognizes a domestic partnership of same-sex couples. But the institution of marriage in Israel is controlled by rabbinical courts, which do not recognize any marriage that is not religiously sanctioned.
In Iran, LGBT individuals are regularly executed for "illicit" sex, but it is difficult to measure how many. The death penalty also applies to homosexualty in Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Sudan. In other Arab countries, fines and imprisonment are the usual penalties, and laws against debauchery and immoral advertising are enforced.
According to Marianne Møllmann, senior policy adviser for Amnesty International, discrimination in the Middle East against the LGBT community exists in two ways—anti-sodomy laws that were brought to the region by European governments in colonial times, and Sharia laws that often apply the death penalty to homosexuality.
Often such laws are "applied to your identity rather than any type of conduct, so you could be in a straight marriage but [if it is discovered] you are gay then [the laws] can be applied," Møllmann told JNS.org.
In Lebanon only 80 percent of respondents answered no to "Should society accept homosexuality"? Beirut's cosmopolitan nature makes Lebanon a bit less insular than other Arab countries, and the city has an established gay community.
"The [Lebanese] civil war left a situation in which none of the rival factions can completely gain the upper hand… The result is a kind of 'You do your thing and I'll do mine' attitude. It's not really tolerance, more a matter of practicality, but it has created a space for diversity," Whitaker told JNS.org.
Many Arab countries do not officially aknowledge that gays even exist. A memorable example was a 2007 speech at New York's Columbia University by former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in which he said, "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country."
In Gaza, the Hamas government has declared that homosexuality is punishable by death. In 2011, Hamas's Al-Aksa TV featured Syrian academic Muhammad Rateb al-Nabulsi, who said homosexuality "involves a filthy place" and "leads to the destruction of the homosexual," he said, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.
A 2002 article by the New Republic described how a gay Palestinian in Gaza was "forced to stand in sewage water up to his neck, his head covered by a sack filled with feces, and then he was thrown into a dark cell infested with insects and other creatures he could feel but not see."
That incident stands in stark contrast to the LGBT-friendly environment in Tel Aviv. About a dozen other gay pride celebrations take place annually around Israel, most recently the first-ever LGBT pride march in Ashdod, noted Arthur Slepian, executive director of A Wider Bridge, an organization that works to provide North American LGBT Jews with more opportunities to connect with Israel and its LGBT community.
While anti-Israel activists have long accused Israel of "pinkwashing" in order to distract from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Slepian told JNS.org it is "perfectly legitimate" that Israel wants gay rights as a piece of its diplomatic efforts. But given its progress on LGBT rights, Israel could do more to help gay Palestinians, he added.
"I know that there are complicated issues of security, the right of return, and who is entitled to asylum, but I think there is room the Israeli government to find a way to treat these individuals with more compassion and more dignity," he said.
That's where Aguda has stepped in by running its 12-year-old SOS project offering social and legal assistance to LGBT Palestinians residing illegally in Israel. Over the years, the organization has dealt with about 800 applications. About 60 began a process toward gaining political asylum abroad but only 17 chose to finish the process, Deutsch said.
Israeli LGBT organizations have also begun to break the religious barrier through several groups identifying both as religious and LGBT, such as Havruta and BatKol. Hundreds of secular people started coming to religious events organized by these groups "because all of a sudden there was a place where they can be welcomed as LGBT people and as Jews," Slepian said.
Israeli TV show "Mom and Dads". Israel, despite divided attitudes on LGBT rights, beats Arab countries by a mile

You know sky's the limits men and I'm just trying to stay positive and water off the. Dead before we dive back into your story because it it is incredible. Memphis has a chance to be in this movie yes that's and that's the cool part so next Friday October 13 out and white haven high school. You got a chance to be in this movie volunteers of all ages all you have to do to register is BB movie actors at gmail.com right that says. As that man is going to be certainly going to be out there. From 530 to 11 PM I mean regatta margin down there from white David high school. Tons accused tons of parents I mean everybody is welcome we trying to get as many people out there and make it as live as part. Who doesn't want to be in a I was gonna say like we let you know they say like say Nadia in Memphis you guys can be and do you have a man outside I gonna have about 101000 because you are you give your offer free travels up at thousand dollars in cash prize as part of snacks entertainment and you get Dicey in like a major movie here oh man listen that Memphis opened the doors to us a c'mon parent and and make this film. I think at least that we can do is turn around and trying to to community involved. On such a huge. Huge film absolutely so to go back to your story. What was the psychology. For you win you need you had to take the deal you knew you were innocent and you knew you had not commit the crime but you took the deal because listen what we all know that the courts doesn't get beat up your when your fighting something that cost money it takes time. And you're still face and you know 41 years or more if convicted so what was the psychology for you. During that time yeah. It's funny you brought a taken and deal because when you knew going in right now in United States 95 to 97% of all criminal cases in the United States in some form of a plea bargain. Only three to 5% of those cases are actually going to trial. As I mean everybody's guilty means you've been forced into a deal exhausted into a deal you don't have your mind the other retailers is a low and I got hired attorney pale light of these things are expenses expensive right. So you know you have that aspect of it but I think for me you know and common to that realization that I wasn't going to be going home but the truth wasn't going to be coming out. It was hard to take in and it was a lot to take and there was a lot to see my mom. To laud as she can sell our house on her car to pay for his lawyer and pay for all these fees and all the stuff go unanswered. It was tough then but you know what at the same time I had did. Put myself in his mind frame in mind set of I can allow this one moment in time to dictate to duration in my life raft and I think that's a mindset that a lot of us have to have we're going through things that are of the don't want to things that we don't want experience. But it's not when you go to was are you allowed to affect you what you choose to do as a response move forward. And I had to keep that in mind that five years in two months I spent behind bars. From sixteen to 22 and then that other five years Estrich costly pro to GPS my ankle could live within 2000 feet of in his score park. I mean although the circumstances that you can think of I have them for an additional parties so for ten years in my life. This going back to like you said that tragedy. I had to. Relies and no one was gonna work harder for me to me and I have returned at the tragedy into triumph on my own. How does a sixteen year old figure that out how to use we like you talk about you so young anyway you get out your Tony Tutu weary years so like your school so yeah so you're angry you're innocent you're screaming you're innocent like at what point in the and that do you reach that it kind of a piece like they've been there had to be some peace they're to have to say man I'm not gonna let this drives me. And sang most definitely and I don't think that comes with age I think that you know when you're stripped away from all distractions and all of what you noted be true in your left was simply yourself if he really becoming a fork in a row where you're either gonna continue to find ways to distract yourself you are only gonna be still and listen do. I to be still. You know regardless of what our was going to wire was going to would even go. That'd the accusations were false I was were loads what was happening was happening. And I do we had to do what it and I think that sometimes in life we. We. We just have to deal with things that we have no control over. Was it your innocence and proving that they kept you sane from day to day that's just what yeah yeah and at what point do you like. Stop saying yeah no I'm like god I would want it but no luck amid is that I'm it is adamant they give what did you say that every day like the other the big contenders daughter like nowhere yet you never stops and it's a yourself you never stops and Tutsis to to you you you're spirit you know men has always something that you're constantly remind his. I shouldn't even be in prison I shouldn't have these charges I should have never been convicted. You know but it as far as what kept me more four man my faith. That's you know regardless of what had happened what I went through my faith never wavered in our had to stay strong in pain because I knew that. This was just a moment in time our life and that you know whether it is got fixed and resolved or didn't. It was up to meet suits who bring the best out of what was left in my life and and I couldn't stand by and allow a must have to wait on some money goes to door for me. Yeah you know it's one thing to make mistakes in life and MB and that in that spot it's nothing they had a ripped from the well it's at a unit moved grow its and somebody else's Q do you now it's. This crazy when you you know you you use you're labeled and given all these these brands of of a monster and predator. Oh but knowing that you didn't commit their crime every time you leave your house you feel like you're the one last look over your shoulder yet. You know because used you know you hear there's this fear of of of of being in. Perceived and and view the wrong way you know and people start and believe the hype of you know you do something that you know he didn't do it really is a psychological game. An and it will take its following him and in. It is just something that I would never wish on anybody you know and I think that's why we're. And that's why not for me I'm I'm I want this film to. To represent that that there's so many people who have experience what I've experienced. And regardless of what your race is your political preferences your. Religious background is. I think we all can agree nobody deserves to be put in the cage for a crime that they did not commit absolutely you know. We are we're saga to Brian banks again you can be in this movie. I you have to do is send an email if you want to volunteer to be B movie extras at gmail.com. It's again next Friday October 13 and white haven high school. You have an exonerate shirt on it is our allies has played says exonerate and your pardon you work with the California innocence project. Can you just sort of take 'cause there wasn't enough for you to just get out of prison you know. You know you maintained their innocence and you wanted to clear your name so can you just sort of take us back and take us through for those who may not know. How you did it because it was pretty dramatic yeah just take us through how you went about doing that yet. Make an extremely long story short. I was is was probably four years and to a non into. My five year pearl tan and I was at home on face on FaceBook and I notice that had a friend request. I click on our friend requests and and there was the the accuser. Are her name her based request simulate FaceBook trying to while friends as as amazing is that makes zero sense it snows. And I. Was asking that we let bygones be bygones and so forth and he's argued that. As much as you know and then a hug to work as well how did you not freak out their moment and go crazy what you know what when your life in your freedom is on the line you have to. Play chess and not check boom and I knew that that was not the Sunni for me to to possibly have to light shed on what actually happened. And I was six you know we were successful at doing that. It was. All. It ought to place and and private investigation office where she came to meet and speak Armenian. In that meeting admitted issue lied about everything that you've made the whole thing up and we were fortunate enough to get our reach and tension on tape recorded while. She did you know ha no she didn't know at the time when she found or does she have a record as she recanted her re cancellation. I then went inside and and there was this whole ordeal only minor and truckers down and Yemen it was. It was clear as day once the investigation the proper investigation started to take place it was clear is dated. No crime was committed and I spent nine years in my life at this time. Incarcerated for something I didn't do and then there was all the bombing and wrong right at all over different departments always different. You know people who had these high positions within our judicial system has to go and and and starts. Fix the wrongs and it took a year flags operation which in. The world of wrongful convictions that are really short time absolutely mum my attorney right now and just Brooks do. Founder of the California this is project has been working on the case now for almost twenty years and you were a woman them the death penalty as a plea bargain. Went to what kind of plea bargains that torture would be it out and the other that would be. Yeah I as his life via and I guess that it you guys that's been your eleventh but it's a crazy world space wrongful convictions we look into it and see how easy it happens. On what circumstances they have been and you realize how often it's happening on there's been over 2000. Exhilaration as of yet. And there has been no concrete. No breakdown on the number of people that may be incarcerated right now. Wrongfully Brett. Since this. Does not just pretty is that is that five years that he's been in prison. It's that it's that label brother know a lot of television like. And I'll take it even one step further not only does it it it not only does it strip your witness you are committing a society in people view your different. But it also brings upon a disconnection. To your friends to your family it's suited to life that you once knew. You know people really remember you bunt away you leave. Right so do you leave at sixteen you come home it's winning who they remembered as six exactly. Yeah and we what you remembers from when you were sixteen yep so. Eating get to see the transition that took place and give them these like your friend's life means life and vice Versa didn't see your transition bending it to see graduate high value home and everybody's happy to see you there is is this connection were happy home we used you know opinions out sodas is whole psychological thing of bomb now put these pieced together by myself. Trying to get my life back in order and trying to restore what's left of of you know my dignity and respect and everything else. I mean it's it's if it really will go beyond just the person who's put behind bars it will touch the family with test of friends it would touched. The community. You know especially when we all realize that person never to meant that crime in the first and you were obviously very gifted football player you had you committed USC at the time I've verbally committed to yesterday I was eleventh in the state as that a linebacker at one more year and Chrysler logo and I mean yeah I'm and I could went to a number of universities yeah. And the amazing part about as as you get exonerated in this is how many years between you playing football has it been ten years ten years and you get. You get the trial with the Atlanta Falcons added that happened had that go about the dated I was exonerated me 24 2012 a walk out of a courtroom a free man.

Try and comforting NFL and that was would no guarantee and talk to a scout and talk to a player or coach renting a sentence at. There is a one though Barbara to inject that comes about a wanna be prepared and ready for tossed our bus Mumbai and Jim a year in advance. Win the California innocence project took off my case and began fighting in our start of Biden towards getting back in shape in the gym so fast forward to. Pay your free what are you wanna do now.

How to overcome a fart on a first date
First dates are nerve-wracking enough. Will the guy be a creep? Will it be awkward? Will you get food stuck in your teeth? Will one of you forget your wallet? Now, add to that the anxiety of a little flatulence — and your potential dream date could spiral into a total nightmare, fast.
Considering most of us pass gas more than 10 times a day, this is essential strategizing, ladies. Believe it or not though, you can actually rebound from a rogue toot! Here's how to overcome a fart on a first date and still (fingers crossed) win over your crush!

Mindfulness, Plus Fur
Posted by Eliza, September 18th, 2015
Like many of you, animals have been an important part of my life since before I can remember. When I was four or five, we had a lovely cat (with eyeliner Liz Taylor would have envied) named Sheba.
I still hold onto the guilt I felt after she ran away: I was sure it was because I tried to feed her the cornflakes into which I'd experimentally dumped a little orange juice. As an adult I know she probably was reacting to our impending move, but part of me still wonders why she left me. Our animal companions become such a part of our inner as well as our outer lives that we often hold their memories tight, and long after they're gone.
Today, though, I want to bless them, to thank them and to sing praises for our fellow animals, especially the ones who humble their wild selves to live with us. They love us, forgive us, and most of all, remind us of the time.
I don't mean dinner time, though that's of vital importance: the dog stares hauntingly into your eyes, the cat rubs her whole self along your legs, and the guinea pigs squeal their lettuce greeting. And they let us know that they have hungers, just like we do.
No, I mean time, as in what little we mortals have upon this earth. My little dog turns nine in a few weeks, and I'm delighted with how well she's doing. Sure, she has a bit of arthritis, and she's carrying a bit of extra weight because it curtails our walks sometimes. (So am I, for that matter.) But she loves to chase balls, play "catch me" with her stuffed toys, and chase squirrels and cats away – you see the theme. She revels in stinks and pee mails on our neighborhood rounds. She's feisty when she feels threatened, and so loving when we settle in for the night. She's alive!
And I treasure each day, each moment, each moonset and sun rise because of her constant reminder to enjoy it. Now. I'm more alive thanks to her.

Building before the slurry coat and painting.
Thank you Darin for donating your time and paint to finish the building.
Back of house with finished sidewalks. Hopefully this will keep the mud down.
Ariel View:
Above is the main building housing Jeff, Carla, kids and mission teams. We are bursting at the seams! We are raising funds for the boys dorm to be built ASAP. The building will be two-stories with room for 60 – 80 children. The first floor has the outside shell and inside walls. We continue to build as funds come in.
If you would like to donate to the boys dorm, medical clinic or any of the other projects, go to the donation page, (be sure and specify where your donation is to go). Thank you New York Teams for all your work.
Below are the first two rooms of our school house. This will be the pre-school when the school is built. We will need to have the primary school built by the end of 2013. We will have over forty kids starting into primary school in January of 2014. We want our children to have the best education possible.
We have built two classrooms. The first room is a combined class for the older kids, then a kinder class. In the veranda we have a pre-school class (it is attached to the front of the main building and also used as a dining room/play room). Our goal is to build 2-4 classrooms a year so our school grows with our kids. We hope to have the school open to the public when completed. This will help make us self-supporting.
Pre-school class below. Love this picture of the pre-schoolers waiting for everyone to head out and play.
We also have a wonderful play area that was been built by one of our mission teams. This building is a covered and screened area for the babies. They can get fresh air and can play without all of the bugs and creepy crawlers.
Meet Ashlee Wood (here with the kids). She helped one of the teams paint the play area inside and out. Yes! It's "Barney and Friends". Ashlee spent six months here at RMISF. The kids loved her. She is now married to Daniel Lipparelli, Director of Transformed International, Kitale, Kenya.
We have swings, monkey bars and the only baby swings in Kenya that hold eight kids each. Below, a wooden pikpik (motorcycle) that was built by Terry Kiser from Anacortes, WA.
This video was taken by Mama Carla.
Now for a tour of the inside of the house. Below is the diningroom/playroom combined and pre-school class during the day.
The main part of the house where Jeff, Carla and the kids live, now has triple-decker bunk beds in all but the big girls room and the nursery. We really are wall to ceiling beds!
Sittingroom and one bedroom before the triple bunk beds and below what it looks like today.

One of our most frequently asked questions is "What should I wear for my family portrait session?". Since we do a majority of our sessions on the beach, these aren't your average family photos. Light colors are best. White shirts and khakis or jeans as well as white dresses always look great, but why not make your family stand out and add a pop of color? Add some blue, green or orange accents to spice up the look of your family. What is your favorite color? Use it to add uniqueness to your family for your session. Keeping patterns to a minimum is best as they are distracting and will focus the view on one person rather than the entire family. Another thing to steer clear of are big bulky items such as wide belts, big necklaces, or large patterns. These are also very distracting to the eyes and will draw your attention away from the rest of your family. Of course, this is just a guideline. You can wear whatever you want! Bring your own style to the beach. Some people prefer more formal photos and some prefer a more casual look. We can work with anything and always make you and your family look awesome!

A new direction in healthcare
Integrative Primary Care
The foundation of our practice is lifestyle medicine with an integrative approach. Solid research demonstrates that nutrition, fitness, stress management, and healthy relationships are the most effective ways to promote optimal health. Our team of providers work with you to find solutions that fit your life.
If something concerning does arise, we use the most natural approaches possible. We can provide conventional Western Medicine when necessary and can often recommend complementary therapies to support treatment.
We base our practice on the latest evidence and have the experience to care for your whole family. We believe that this is not "alternative medicine" but the future of good medicine.
Urgent Care Visits
Urgent visits are for acute problems like strep throat, seasonal colds, sinusitis, cuts, or injuries like sprained ankles or wrists. If you are concerned about a fracture, we are able to see you and obtain a quick, affordable x-ray at a nearby facility.
Follow-Up Visits
Follow up visits are for revisiting problems that we have already addressed, adjusting treatment plans, or looking deeper into your concerns. We can only address 1-2 concerns comprehensively in a 20 minute visit. Our visits entail a thorough history, a holistic perspective, and usually natural measures to address your concerns.
Focused Visits
Focused visits are for covering 1-2 new problems. If the problem is longstanding, it may be that we can only cover one concern well in the time allowed. We have found that it compromises the quality of care to attempt squeezing too many concerns into a 20 minute visit.
Non-Member Visits
You may be seen for urgent or focused visits for $90. We can usually address acute 1-2 concerns in these visits. We do not attempt to address longstanding concerns without knowing your big picture. This requires an establish care visit to review your entire history.
We require that patients join the Integrative Life Membership to manage chronic or recurrent conditions
Lab or procedure fees are additional, and are clearly posted at time of service. We have gone to great lengths to lower our prices and increase the time you spend with providers. Our basic fee will allow for up to 20 minutes with the physician. We ask that you arrive early to complete paperwork so that you may have the full time with your provider.
All prices will be clearly displayed with no hidden fees. All payment is due at time of service. Time over the scheduled visit will be billed at 20 minute increments at a rate of $90.
In order to provide service at these low prices we do not file insurance for patients, however we will provide forms for you to submit to obtain reimbursement or apply fees to your deductible. Our services are usually qualified under a Health Savings Account (HSA), and we do encourage our patients to have some form of insurance for emergency situations.
If you are seeking in-depth, integrative care we recommend the Integrative Life Program as the most cost effective pathway.
Integrative Health Classes
Our monthly classes feature local experts giving practical courses on lifestyle, healthy shopping, cooking, growing foods, herbal medicine, yoga, meditation and more.
Our Integrative Life Classes are FREE as a benefit to our Integrative Life Members and open to the community…

Five years after the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission issued its investigative report into the financial meltdown, we have a long way to go to prevent a repeat of the crisis.
Congress and President Obama created the commission to look into the causes of the meltdown. We reviewed millions of pages of documents, interviewed more than 700 witnesses and held 19 days of public hearings across the country, including in communities hard hit by the crisis.
This two-year process confirmed that the crash was an avoidable tragedy, caused by widespread failures of regulation, reckless risk-taking on Wall Street and systematic breaches in ethics and accountability. Our inquiry exposed the urgent need to increase banking oversight and consumer protection.
Despite a furious attempt by some to rewrite history, the commission's findings have stood the test of time. In the years since, Americans continue to wonder whether anything has changed — and if their economic security is still at risk.
The answer isn't simple.
Obama and Congress took a major step forward by approving the Dodd-Frank financial reform law in 2010. That law mandated that banking regulators impose risk controls at the nation's 34 largest banks. It also established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to protect Americans from unscrupulous business practices. The bureau has forced the return of more than $11 billion to an estimated 25 million Americans that have been wronged by financial companies.
Although we have made some progress, it hasn't been nearly enough to match the magnitude of the crisis and what the country endured. Disturbingly, some members of Congress already are working to turn back the clock and return to the broken pre-crisis status quo that nearly brought down our economy.
Legislation backed by some in Congress would force regulators to roll back the improved risk controls at more than two-dozen of our largest banks. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau also is under constant threat, as we saw during the recent fight in Congress over the omnibus spending bill, when some members tried unsuccessfully to change the agency's structure and prevent it from doing its job.
The Dodd-Frank standard requiring that lenders find that borrowers have the "ability to repay" has helped to ensure that mortgage loans are made more responsibly. But proposed legislation would return us to the dangerous pre-crisis way of doing business by weakening these standards and making it easier for lenders to prey on borrowers.
The crisis showed the importance of having regulators with backbone who are willing to stand up to Wall Street. But strong regulators alone aren't enough. They need the resources to do their job, and the American people's support when they act in the public's interest.
That's why it's been so disappointing to see Congress underfund the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, which serve as Wall Street watchdogs.
The Commodities Future Trading Commission has been given significant new responsibilities for policing a $400-trillion derivatives market. Yet, there was no increase in its $250 million budget this year, despite President Obama's request of $322 million.
The American people will never be truly protected from Wall Street wrongdoing until these agencies receive the resources they desperately need.
Since our report was presented, the Wall Street executives responsible for helping cause the Great Recession haven't paid any real legal, economic or political price for their actions. Fines and penalties still are treated as a cost of doing business. Violations often are settled for pennies on the dollar at the shareholders' expense, without any admission of wrongdoing. What's needed instead are real penalties for wrongdoing, including criminal penalties when warranted.
We have made progress since the commission's report. But building on these reforms will take political will, as revisionists continue to try to rewrite history, roll back progress, and prevent reforms from seeing the light of day.
Bob Graham, a former governor and U.S. senator from Florida, was a member of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. Phil Angelides, former California treasurer, served as chairman of the FCIC.

impact. We are both experts and apprentices to each other, and place a high value on peer-to-peer learning with lots of experimentation.
We host small labs to provide opportunities to immerse oneself in the art of storytelling, learn new tools and apps, write pitches and fundraising appeals, or delve into the ever-changing world of video production. Once a year, we host a big Vermont Story Lab event — a gathering of nonprofits and individuals from across the state for a day of networking, sharing storytelling techniques and resources, and some skill-building time. Through our website, vermontstorylab.org, we offer details on our upcoming events, information on new tools and
trends we find cool, and generous encouragement to use story to create deep change in our communities.

Social Networking
Standard on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Age Rating: 4+
Apple's Messages is an attractive and functional application that delivers chat support for a limited number of services. As a desktop complement for the iOS iMessage system, however, it excels.
Every recent Mac ships with Messages. And we suspect that most people use it solely for its iMessage support. However, you can also connect your Gmail, Yahoo! and AIM accounts and create a single point for accessing all those services.
Messages' integration with the rest of the Apple ecosystem is what makes it really stand out. From an iMessage-based chat it's just one button press to launch into FaceTime. We assume that FaceTime voice integration will also come when iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks are released, making it a full service communications tool.
What we would like to see is expanded protocol support. In particular, the lack of Facebook chat support is a bit of a deal-breaker for us and compels us to use other clients. However, your needs may be different.
Messages is a very solid application that delivers support for a limited number of chat protocols. For many Apple users, it will suffice – particularly if you're a heavy iMessage user.

"For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow."
As quoted in Respectfully quoted: a dictionary of quotations (1989) "The original French reads, ""Car, vois-tu, chaque jour je taime davantage, Aujourdhui plus quhier et bien moins que demain,"" and is from a poem titled, ""The Eternal Song"" (""L'éternelle chanson"").

"She walks in Beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies."
Hebrew Melodies (1815) Byron was notorious for his varied tastes in both women and men. This poem was written about one Mrs. R. Wilmot. (Berry Memoirs, vol. iii. p. 7), about whom little is known. This was not the only poem directed at a woman who Byron did not revisit in later work. Regardless, one cannot discount the simplicity and subsequent beauty of the poem. Add Category or Author
"I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out."
The poem this is attributed to, by Roy Croft, is nearly identical to a German-language poem by Eric Fried titled "Ich liebe dich" ("I Love You"). Little is known about either poem, so it is difficult to say if Croft actually wrote this poem or if he translated Fried's poem and ended up with the credit.

Thailand to Madagascar
Published: 2008-12-21 22:21:40
Topics: Indian Ocean
Countries: BIOT (Chagos) , Madagascar , Maldives , Thailand
We are planning our trip from Malaysia/Thailand to Madagascar in 2009. We think the best time is to leave early March, sail first to the Maldives, stay about two weeks and then to Chagos.
Jimmy Cornell's world cruising routes advices to leave Chagos for Madagascar from May to June or September to October. Delwyn McPhun's East Africa pilot advises the months July to October as the best.
My question: Is something wrong with July?
With regards,
Pieter C. van Nijkerk.
Hello Pieter,
My suggestions are for "the best time". During the months of July and August the SE winds in that area can be very strong, occasionally with a cross swell from the south, so while it is possible and safe to make the passage in those months is may be uncomfortable. July to October have indeed the best winds but also the strongest... so take your pick!
Make sure you get your cruising permit from the British Foreign Office to allow you to visit Chagos.
Good luck.... and please let us know how the trip went!
Jimmy Cornell

Nursing is one of the fastest-growing job areas, and for good reason. As the population ages, medical care will continue to expand. If you study medical technology, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as nurse assisting, lab internships, or vocational rehabilitation. Check with the nursing department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of medical technologist job requirements. Due to advances in health care, there is a growing skill-shortage of medical technologists, and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for University of Michigan Dearborn.
Medical laboratory technicians collect samples and perform tests to analyze body fluids, tissue, and other substances. Medical technologist jobs usually requires a bachelors degree in biotechnology or life sciences. Medical lab technicians (lab techs), on the other hand, need only an accredited associate's degree program in clinical laboratory science. Coursework emphasizes laboratory skills, including safety procedures and lab management. Medical lab technicians can obtain a general certification as a medical laboratory technician, or a certification in a specialty, such as medical technology.
Medical technologist jobs are projected to grow 16% in the coming years. An increase in the aging population is expected to lead to a greater need to diagnose medical conditions, such as cancer or type II diabetes. Finally, the average salary for clinical laboratory technicians was $50,550 in May 2015, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
