Squad Five-O
- 2000 1 Jan
Remember the Credence Clearwater Revival hit song, "Travelin' Band?" Given their constant touring, twin brothers Jeff and John Fortson, along with drummer Jason Anderson and road manager Jimi Story seem to embody the essence of the tune. Sometime during the course of this year, when you're stuck in traffic, trying to get to school or work, remember that {{Squad Five-O}} is most likely in a motel or at someone's house, trying to get a little rest before playing a show and driving again.
But the band was afforded a short break from touring in May 1998, and Jeff took the opportunity to say, "I do" to Kelly, his long-time significant other. It's on a frozen Michigan day that we catch up with a road-weary Jeff, less than a week after he & the band were briefly detained in Canada... a towed car and some, shall we say, hesitant border patrol officers holding them up. He answers all questions despite a persistent cough, made worse by the region's icy climate.
So, what's the latest on this ska-influenced punk band...? ...or is that punk-influenced ska? ...or is it glam metal-influenced punk and ska? The answer? All of the above. And by the way, you read that last sentence correctly. There is a bit of glam metal showing its face, not only in the band's logos and merchandising, but also in a few songs on ==Fight The System==, the band's latest record, which was produced by {{Aaron Sprinkle}} ({{Poor Old Lu}}, {{Roseblossom Punch}}). Sprinkle lent his able fingers to songs like "The Anthem Of Jimmy Rocketship" as well as the album's hidden track, in which he played some killer metal guitar leads. "I know a lot of people are gonna be laughing," says Jeff, "but the new album, I think, is more mature, and has a lot better production. I think the drums on it are amazing. We're really stoked on it, because it's a lot closer to what we wanted the first time around. I think the songs, both lyrically and musically, are just more mature. Aaron did a great job and he was so much fun to work with."
Lest you assume {{Squad Five-O}} have gone completely glam, forsaking their ska and punk sound, never fear... The album is all that and more. Despite a metal song or two (complete with Sprinkle's authentic solos), a heavily glam-influenced live show, and the band's genuine love for such music, still, {{Squad Five-O}} should not be considered a glam metal band. "As far as the music, I don't think we'd ever go and be some metal band," affirms Jeff, "but I definitely think it comes through. If a lot of metal guys like it, then great, but if they don't, then great too. We write music that we like to hear, and we write music that we like to play. I don't think we'll ever be a real metal band, but we like to pretend we will...! When the whole scene changes, and arena rock is back, maybe we'll be on that train too, but I don't know."
The road to making ==Fight The System== was a tough one. The band had planned on recording in Seattle in February, after touring their way up to the area from California during the month of January. But the boys arrived in California only to find that most, if not all, shows they were to play were canceled, or never even finalized in the first place. As one might expect, the band wasn't thrilled. "By the end of January, we had very little money," says Jeff. "We were stuck out there throwing together weekend shows, living off merchandise money. At times, we were living off, like, five dollars for three or four days at a time. Our van was acting up and we couldn't get it worked on, so there was no way it was gonna make it to Seattle. Luckily, we had good people putting us up in their houses, feeding us when they could. But we just felt really abandoned, and we felt like we were gonna break up. We called the label and told 'em we wanted off. We got a little upset and told 'em that we were either going to break up or walk. And the label made up for everything. They paid us for all the shows we should've had, they flew us up to Seattle, and they gave us the amount of time that we wanted in the studio. So they made up for all that, and it worked out."
It was during this time that the band began to lose its focus. "We started getting greedy," admits Jeff. "We started thinking, 'We deserve this,' and 'We deserve that.' And we really lost focus of why we were doing what we were doing in the first place. Through all that, I think we just learned to come back to our first love, which is God. I don't love music, and I don't love touring. I could probably be doing a lot of things that are far more lucrative. But I love God, and this is what He's called me to. We don't need music videos, and we don't need billion dollar budgets to do albums. We just need to follow God like we did in the beginning. I think that's what we learned, to keep our priorities set, and our goals set on Christ. We may not be the most successful band in the world, but God's taken care of us, and this past year has been one of the greatest years of my life."
On the new record is a song called "A Star Is Born," which is one of two songs on the record that discuss the band's experience in California. "It's basically about losing sight of why you started something," reflects Jeff, "taking your eyes off God, and focusing on yourself, on the scene, on the music, and then regaining that focus on God. It's just kind of an autobiography of what happened to us in California." There are other songs that have significant meaning to Jeff. "Kids of the World Unite" is one that reminds us of the last album's major theme. "Unity is something that we as a band have always talked about," Jeff agrees. "But this song just talks about how people have to realize that, you know, they want all this unity, and all this peace, but there's never going to be true unity and peace without God, because every person is, by nature, selfish, and everyone tends to just lookout for themselves. Unless you're looking to God for direction and guidance, you're not going to overcome that selfishness.
"All great civilizations fall, and if you look at it, someone got greedy and lazy. Sooner or later, someone's gonna be self-seeking. If you want something to really stand for, and something to stand together on, it's got to be the love of God through Jesus Christ, because everything else will just fade away. I like that song a lot, because it put a whole different stance on unity - not just to stand together, but to think about why you're standing together, and how you're gonna stand together.
"And then I wrote a song for my mom and dad," he continues, "called 'Parental Guidance,' and that song is very special to me. They're just so supportive, and they're not the wealthiest people in the world, and sometimes it's hard for them to make it month to month, but they've always been supportive in all we do. When we needed a drum kit to start this band, my dad bought it for us, and he didn't necessarily have the means to provide it for us, but he scraped it up and bought it for us. We're still using that drum kit today. They've always been giving and giving, even when there's nothing left to give. And my mom, even though she's a nervous wreck with us driving on the road in the snow and stuff, you know, but she's always been behind what we do. At first, they both really wanted us to stay in school, but when they saw that God was blessing what we were doing, and that we were really sincere about it, they just really got behind us, so I wrote a song for them."
He also tells of "You're The One," which he wrote for his new wife. "It just basically talks about the past five years that we've been together, and how the time has come for the three cords to be woven together, and how it's time for us to take on the world together."
Jeff had been reading a lot about spiritual warfare right before {{Squad Five-O}} went into the studio, and that seems to have influenced several songs. For instance, the title track, "Fight The System," is all about the subject. In fact, the album's intro track, "A Call To Arms" - which, Jeff reveals, has some dark keyboard sounds that are ripped off from an old metal album - includes an eerie spoken word portion from Ephesians 6:12. "I think that's one of those things that made me take my walk day by day," he reflects. "Each day, I've got to get up and realize that this is a battle, that this is a war against Satan and his dominion. And as Christians, we're walking on a physical level every day, but we're also walking on a spiritual level, just as Jesus did. He met people on the physical level, but He also met them on a spiritual level. We need to realize that we're spiritual beings, and we're in a battle every day against the evil in this world."
This realization even translates into the black marks Jeff wears under his eyes when on stage. While the dark smudges are also worn for other reasons, he laughs, "We just wear it, because more than anything, we find it funny, and we also call it our war paint, because we feel that when we go on stage, we're going into battle.
"We also wear it as kind of a tribute musically," he continues. "Like I said, we've always been big metal fans growing up, back from, like, the Theater of Pain days of Motley Crue. Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee used to do that, but also, Kevin Seconds, the lead singer of one of my favorite punk bands, 7 Seconds, used to put the black marks under his eyes. And they had a song called 'Clenched Fists and Black Eyes,' which was about their crew running the streets and stuff, and how they all stuck together no matter what. And so we kind of stole it from them and from Motley Crue too, because we thought it looked cool, and also as kind of a joke."
The 23-year-old newlywed fills us in on the spiritual challenges that come with being in a band that's constantly traveling. "Spiritually, it's a struggle on the road," he explains, "because even though sometimes you have days off, and you're in one place for a while, it always seems like you're moving, and your days fly by. And it's hard to take time out during the day to really spend that time with God that you need to. I guess physically and spiritually right now I'm a little worn out. We've pretty much been on the go since last Spring, and I feel real worn out right now on both ends of that spectrum. But God picks me up every day.
"I've found that it's got to be a day to day thing," he reiterates. "Each day I have to turn to God and say, 'I'm gonna live for You today,' because if I try to take it on a week at a time, or even a couple days at a time, it's too much because each day is different. We're usually in a different place and on a different time schedule. Some days you get to sleep till twelve, and some days you have to be up by eight, seven, or six in the morning. Some days you drive over night to the next show. So it's not like I'm on a set schedule, but I do have to find a schedule where I make time for God at not necessarily the same time every day."
Jeff's twin brother, John, provides quality bass playing for the band, but also, as Jeff puts it, "He's kind of the energy guy, the charismatic leader on stage. And spiritually, he has a lot of vigor, I think, for his walk with God. He has a lot of desire to follow Christ each day. And sometimes we'll pull into a motel at, like, four or five in the morning after an overnight drive, and he'll break out the Bible and read - where I'll be wanting to pass out! He'll make that time, even after he's been driving eight hours. He's quick to love, but he's also pretty hot tempered. He can also be the most caring guy and I love him. I've known him for 23 years, and he's one of my best friends."
Drummer Jason Anderson joined the band when the old drummer, Justin, joined the Navy. "We gave a couple of people a call," remembers Jeff, "and actually, Jason was third on the list, because we'd met him last. And all the other guys fell through, so we called up Jason and asked him. He sent us a tape, and it was just amazing. So we invited him down, and he came down a week before we left for the tour. He learned our songs in, like, 15 minutes, and then we practiced for four days. Then we left for the Summer tour, and he's been with us ever since. He walks with God daily, and he takes his faith very seriously, so he's been an encouragement in that. We're glad to have him on board."
Jason, 19, also has an indie record label, called Bloodshed Records, which will soon release a compilation with various punk, ska, and emo bands, which includes a {{Squad Five-O}} track (recorded live at last year's Cornerstone), as well as a song by Jason's other band, Muchacho Vivo. "And he's way more business-minded than we are," states Jeff. "Where we might tend to overlook the business aspects of things, he'll pick up on it, and if he thinks we're getting the wool pulled over our eyes in a certain area, or that we're getting taken advantage of, he'll let us know. And it's really good that he's like that, because it keeps us on alert. Above all, this is a ministry, but you've got to be careful, because it's a business too. And unfortunately, even in the Christian industry, there are people out there who would like to take advantage of you, and lie to you - and we went in kind of naive to that."
It's not often that a road manager is considered a band member, but Jimi Story has been welcomed as such. Jimi was actually one of the drummers to try out for the position when Justin left, but as it turned out, "Jason had a little better grip on our stuff," says Jeff. And it just so happened that the band was in need of a road manager, so 21-year-old Jimi stepped in. "He handles all the stuff that we don't deal with," Jeff continues. "He settles up with promoters, he makes sure that we get our guarantees, he makes sure that we all eat every day, he makes sure that we have enough money for gas for the van, and he makes sure that we pay our bills and stuff."
One would think that perhaps a musician that tried out for a band and didn't make the cut would be bitter, but, Jeff explains, it's just the opposite with Jimi. "The whole time, he was totally seeking for what God would have him do. So I guess God put that on his heart, and He opened the door for us too, because we needed someone. We'd never really thought about it before, but we realized we needed a road manager. And he'd never even been a road manager before, but he came in last June, and he's just done an amazing job. We really just consider him the fourth member, because we're so close to him. He does his job well, and he takes it seriously, and spiritually, I sometimes consider him to be the spiritual leader of all four of us. He holds us accountable to how we're doing in our walks, and in our quiet times, and in our personal lives... and we do the same for him. He's an awesome guy, and God's really blessed us with him."
Above all, Jeff wants fans and readers to know that {{Squad Five-O}} does what they do because they feel called of God to do it. "It's not because we make money, or because we know everything there is to know about the Gospel," assures Jeff. "It's just because we're four kids who have the desire to make known the truth of Christ, and how He set our lives free. We know that there are lots of kids in our generation that are looking for meaning and identity. A lot of kids find it in the punk scene, and a lot of kids find it in the ska scene. Some kids find it in their boyfriends and girlfriends, and in drugs and alcohol. And I want to go into this generation that we were born into, and offer them real hope, and offer them meaning more real than anything they've tried to find it in right now. The punk and ska scenes will come and go, their boyfriends and girlfriends, you know, they come and go. Drugs and alcohol eventually lead to the grave. So we're trying to offer them something that will lead them out of the grave - something that's real, that they can hold onto."
Jeff feels the need to issue a clarification for any misunderstandings that may have come about. "We really try to show the love of Christ to anybody and everybody that we come in contact with," he reaffirms, "but sometimes we might come off a little, you know, maybe a little rude, or a little stuck up or something... And I just want people to know that if we've ever come off that way, that we're sorry. We never mean to come off that way. We always try to reflect the love of Christ. But I just want people to understand that when you're on the road - especially for as long as we are - you know, you get sick and you get tired, and you don't always reflect Christ as clearly as you'd like to. Sometimes, one of us will be sick or tired, or maybe both, and you don't necessarily feel like talking to kids, and it's easy to come off as, maybe a little rude or something. We want to reflect Christ in all things, so if anybody out there has felt like we've done that at some point in time, we just want to apologize.
"And I guess the other thing would be that we're not trying to be some controversial band. We're not trying to be a band that pushes the envelope, or a band that lyrically challenges the status quo of fundamental Christianity. A lot of times, we get flack for some of the words we use to convey a point. And I just want to say that we're not trying to push envelopes, and we're not trying to offend people, or anything like that. But chances are, you're gonna offend someone somewhere, and I guess some people have been offended by songs like the one about our state flag on our last album. We want to say that we're sorry if we offended you in any way. We've never tried to do that. We're not trying to be some controversial band, and have controversial lyrics. We're just writing about things that are real to us, things that we won't stand for, and things that we will stand for. And above all and foremost, the one thing we will stand for is the Gospel of Christ.
If you don't have the opportunity to catch the rockin' road warriors of {{Squad Five-O}} at one of many summer festivals, chances are they'll be coming to a town near you sometime soon.

I've seen this a lot lately and am interested in trying shadow trapunto.
So what is the basic process and a good book/video recommendation?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I've seen this a lot lately and am interested in trying shadow trapunto.
So what is the basic process and a good book/video recommendation?
I quilt, therefore I am.
Live, Laugh, Love
Or a good web site, please.
Our very own Geta wrote a book on the process and it is available for download for a nominal fee.
She does drop dead gorgeous work and I understand her instructions are thorough and easy to follow. If you google "shadow Trapunto tutorial" you will get tons of hits.
Geta's book is next on my wishlist. Her work is phenomenal.
I used Leah Day's process to learn this technique (she calls it "reverse shadow trapunto" as she does the trapunto slightly differently). She outlines the procedure in her Winter Wonderland pattern- available here: http://www.daystyledesigns.com/rever...owtrapunto.htm
This is the book I've purchased, it also comes with a DVD. I've not read the other two books mentioned, I'm sure they are basically the same concept. http://softexpressions.com/software/books/Whitework.php
This is Karen Mctavish's method and theres tons of examples.
Happy Stitching!
I would buy geta's book, she does a lot of shadow trapunto, she is very knowledgable
I have some trapunto book and love them. ( Exploring Machine Trapunto By Hari Walner) (Trapunto By Machine By Hari Walner) & ( The Secrets of Elemental Quilting By Karen McTavish). I have learned alot from this books. They give you step by step lessons. They also have alot of patterns in them. The last book has a cd in it. I would love to buy geta's book but not paying that price yet
Someone posted picture of their trapunto blocks that they are doing. I believe she used the Winter Wonderland pattern and instructions from Leah Day's website.
Thank you for the info. I will be checking into this some more.

All you need is a sunny windowsill
I have planting fever! My entire dining room window is covered in seedlings. So far we have courgettes, squashes, cucumbers, various herbs, tomatoes, sweetcorn and sweet peppers joining us for breakfast and dinner each day. At one point, the dining table was so ladened with seeds and pots that we dined on our laps in the living room.
In the plastic greenhouse sugar peas, leeks, beetroot and nasturtiums can be found hiding from the frosty March weather.
My first tray of sweetcorn seedlings look promising. Some of the seedlings have a little white fungus on the surface of the soil. I'm going to try opening the window above them to try and increase airflow.
My tomatoes have grown their first pair of "true leaves" so I shall pot these on soon!
Ali's been digging away - what a trooper. He's now dug FOUR 10X4 beds in his spare time. We've yet to formulate a plan for our fruit area. When we do, we'll order the wood for all the raised beds. I think fruit is perhaps overlooked in the grow your own world. The plants bring you treats year after year, whilst being some of the most expensive produce you can buy in the supermarket! My pound shop gooseberry and raspberry cuttings are doing fantastically well. If they bring me any fruit they'll have been the best bargains I've found in a long time.
Yesterday, as well as a lot of digging, we planted purple sprouting broccoli under the cold frame. I've also planted some comfrey root by the compost bin to provide our plants with nutritious homemade fertiliser.
I'd quite like our allotment to be beautiful, as well as practical. I don't want us to overstretch ourselves, but I've sowed seeds for sweet peas, foxglove and sunflowers, to dot around. I'd also like to have some lavender somewhere.
Whilst planning our own little allotment, growing veg is all I can think about, so our evening entertainment has been garden themed. I've found some wonderful old programmes available online, so I thought I'd share them...
Fork to Fork by Monty Don - I adore cooking, so what really inspired me about this programme was seeing the journey of a plant from a mere seed to a culinary delight.
Edible Garden by Alys Fowler - Alys is unashamed in her quest for an aesthetic garden as well as a productive one. A smattering of recipes along with candid documentation of her less than successful crops makes this a great watch.
Grow Your Own Veg with Carol Klein - Carol is clearly as excited as I am about growing her own veg.
I'd love to find some more of the same, if I can. Failing that, it's back to munching toast and drinking tea in front of The Good Life. Tom and Barbara never fail to bring a smile to my face!

Zend framework2 and ibm i deployment
I am new to zend and php, but have been programming on the I for many years. I was trying a Zend framework 2 tutorial. using Zend studio I was to create a project easily. I then use the deploy option to send it to my system and try out the app. The main index page displayed properly, but any other page or even the framework error page do not show. Looking at error logs. The application deployed to /user/local/zendsvr6... but when accessing any page other then the mainindex page it attempts to start at /www/zendsvr6/htdocs before attempting to append the correct path under the actual deployment location. Has anyone else encountered this?
Re: Zend framework2 and ibm i deployment
I know this post is 2 years old, but I am having the same issue. It was suggested that I create a virtual host, but my manager will go crazy if I need to adjust the IBM I apache config every time I deploy an application. I did try it on the development server and it worked, but I don't like manually creating a virtual host, and every time I deployed the application from Zend studio it incremented the version. Then it created a new file structure based on that, so I would have to adjust the virtual host. That may be me not creating it correctly to handle this. I tried using the Zend server virtual host wizard. The Zend server wizard says it completes, but never shows the host. It creates the virtual host down several layers of directories usr/local/zendversion ... , not in the apache config file used by the system www/serverversion/conf/.

Recapping the first annual Cloud Security Alliance Congress
On this week's episode of Cloud Cover TV, Carl Brooks recaps his time at the first annual Cloud Security Alliance Congress in Florida.
And check out the Cloud Cover TV home page for the rest of the episodes.
Read the full transcript from this video below:
Recapping the first annual Cloud Security Alliance Congress
Jo Maitland: Hello, and welcome to Cloud Cover, our new weekly show brought to you by SearchCloudComputing.com, on all the news this week from the Cloud market. My name is Jo Maitland, I am Executive Editor of SearchCloudComputing.com, and I am here with Carl Brooks.
Carl Brooks: Hello everybody.
Jo Maitland: Carl is the Senior News Writer on SearchCloudComputing.com. Welcome to the show, everyone. We are just going to kick off. This is our pilot show, and we are definitely learning as we go here so bear with us. I am just going to kick off, Carl, a couple of questions for you. I know you were at the first Cloud Security Alliance Congress in Florida last week. How was that?
Carl Brooks: That is right, I was. It was wonderful. The weather was great. I had to walk right by a pool to get to the show, so that was not much fun, but the show itself was pretty interesting. It was, of all the things, I ran into more lawyers at that event than I have run into at any tech show that I have been to now or probably since. It was really interesting because there were so many people there who understood exactly was going on, but they were not all technical people. They were people who were involved in other sides of the business. I thought it was interesting commentary on where we stand now, that I think a lot of people have satisfied themselves over what Cloud computing is, where they are going to stand with it, and now they are really working on the details, which was an interesting development.
Other than that, the show was pretty good. It was a lot of, a fair number of case studies, a lot of service providers there, but in some ways they are consumers of Cloud, as much as they are selling Cloud, it is all wrapped up, so it was an interesting statement on what is happening right now.
Jo Maitland: Interesting. You met the Boeing guys there, or you met somebody from Boeing? What are they up to?
Carl Brooks: I did. I met, he was a team lead on Boeing's IT security, he is actually in software security, and his team runs application, IT security for all of Boeing, and he was actually instrumental in helping them get started with Cloud computing because it is a really big enterprise, and I mean big. Boeing has an uncounted number of employees, are a global company, and basically, they make airplanes and they make missiles. The first concern that they have is security of all types: IT security, plain old security. Cloud computing came along two or three years ago, and they looked at it and said, 'This is great. Our first concern is security.' They handed it over to the IT security team in order to figure out how to implement it. It was not really a question of being first movers or being agile in how they went about it; it was really mostly about finding a way to make it work within a necessary paradigm they have. There simply is no option for them other than having proper security. What this guy did was . . .
Jo Maitland: How far have they got? Are they up and running on any Clouds yet? Are they building it internally? What is the plan?
Carl Brooks: Yes, they are. They actually, from this guy's perspective, his name was EJ Jones, and his perspective on Cloud for his team is that it was, they consider hosting things on the internet to a be public Cloud. There are a lot of definitions, but they are definitely talking about AWS, Rack Space, other iterations of Cloud platforms, and they have come along. He said it took them two or three years, but they developed a methodology to basically certify or at least examine a Cloud provider for security in terms of applications. A couple interesting things he said: one, out of the 12,000, that is right, 12,000 applications that Boeing runs in their business, a very, very small percentage were suitable in any way, shape or form for Cloud computing, mostly because most of the applications they run are either line-of-business or they are already established; they do not need to grow them, be elastic, scale, or do any of this web stuff -- it is pretty traditional stuff. The ones that were suitable, for instance, test and dev, and an application that he himself helped write was for testing source code for development. They wanted to put that on Amazon. There is a very small minority of cases, but even those small minority had to go through pretty rigorous security checks.
Jo Maitland: Is their goal just to save on buying more infrastructure internally, or why are they doing this at all?
Carl Brooks: Mostly it is the agility, is the sense I got. He could not talk very specifically about a lot of Boeing because it is a public company; they do not want to talk about strategy too much, but the sense I got of it overall was that it is the agility, the ease of use and the ability to hand off infrastructure and management tasks to individual developers and individual business units.
Jo Maitland: Got it. We will look forward to the full story on the site. On my end, I have been following this whole private Cloud marketplace, and I think there have been lots of efforts recently, particularly by Microsoft, to actually debunk the whole notion of private Cloud. They put out a white paper recently saying that the economics of private Cloud don't make sense, and I have heard a couple people say that to build a private Cloud and get the benefits of a public Cloud environment, you really need 10,000 servers.
Carl Brooks: That is true.
Jo Maitland: There is a big question mark over whether the economics of a private Cloud is even possible, so I am working on that right now, which is an interesting space.
Carl Brooks: That is a pretty great development, considering they just released a Hyper vCloud for people who want to build their own on Dell servers or HP servers, so I think they are trying to play both sides of the hand there.
Jo Maitland: Yes, it is definitely a mixed message.
Carl Brooks: I thought that white paper was far looking, too. Wasn't it 5 or 10 years was the message, that this is going to be inevitable?
Jo Maitland: Yes, so for data centers, for future build outs, they are recommending using public Cloud and not building your own brand new data centers. Obviously, people are looking to refresh on a big scale; I think the white paper was aimed at those guys.
Carl Brooks: Interesting. That stuff was going to happen pretty slowly. It is going to happen at its own pace?
Jo Maitland: Yes. I think that there might be the GEs and the Coca-Colas of this world, might end up building private Clouds and being service providers themselves, but for everybody else, the public Cloud model is the one that makes sense.
Carl Brooks: Definitely.
Jo Maitland: Great, Carl. We will talk to you again next week.
Carl Brooks: Yes, nice. It was fun.
Jo Maitland: Cheers. Bye.

I've been jotting down segments and additions to my one sandbox article for a while now. While I was writing the audio log for Breach Incident I-XXX-B, the page stopped showing what I was writing. I've saved, exited, and reloaded the page multiple times, but despite the words being in the edit box each time I open it up, the audio log just doesn't include them. I can add words to other parts of the page, and the end of the audio log is still there. It just isn't showing the middle section of the log.
Did I put a text modifier in and didn't notice it, or is it just some wacky page error? Any help would be appreciated.

Paula Metzler was elected Town Councilwoman on November 3, 2009 and re-elected on November 5, 2013. She has served as Deputy Supervisor under Supervisor LaFountain. She currently chairs the Public Works Committee and is the liaison to Penfield Town Court, the Conservation Board, Historic Preservation Board, Zoning Board and Watershed Management Committee.
A Penfield native and third generation resident, Paula is a graduate of Penfield High School (Class of 1986), the University of Rochester and Boston College Law School. Paula is currently employed as a Deputy County Attorney for the County of Monroe, acting as counsel to the Department of Human Services. As Deputy County Attorney, she handles a variety of legal matters, including daycare subsidy fraud, guardianship cases as well as protecting the interest of taxpayers in seeking and recovering reimbursement for monies expended on public assistance and Medicaid.
Prior to her appointment as Deputy County Attorney, Paula was employed by the New York State Office of Court Administration as Counsel to the New York Committee on Criminal Jury Instructions, a distinguished committee of judges, retired judges, court personnel and attorneys which researches and publishes the pattern criminal jury instructions used in all state, county, town, village and city courts. She is a former member of the faculty of the New York Judicial Institute where she was a frequent lecturer to judges and attorneys on matters related to jury trials and criminal law topics.
Paula is dedicated to serving her community. After graduating from law school in 1993, Paula returned to her hometown of Penfield. She became a counselor in the Family Violence Program at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (SPCC, now the Society for the Protection and Care of Children), providing intervention services, counseling and advocacy for children from violent homes. While at SPCC, Paula was a member of the Monroe County Domestic Violence Consortium as well as the New York State Crime Victims Board Advisory Council.
In January, 1995, Paula was appointed confidential Law Clerk to the Hon. Patricia D. Marks, Supervising Judge of the Criminal Courts for the Seventh Judicial District. She later was named Principal Court Attorney, a title she held until the birth of her daughter in 2000. As Principal Court Attorney, Paula researched and analyzed civil and criminal legal issues at both trial and appellate levels. She was responsible for drafting legal opinions and advisory memoranda, monitoring the court calendar and case management, investigating administrative concerns, holding case conferences for civil and criminal matters and advising Judge Marks on issues in court.
After the birth of her daughter, Paula resigned from her clerkship with Judge Marks. She entered private practice with Evans and Fox, LLP in Brighton. While at Evans and Fox, her practice involved civil litigation, landlord-tenant matters, employment law, elder law, collections law and real estate matters.
Paula is a trained mediator, and is one of only 25 mediators in the United States selected to be an arbitrator for disputes involving the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. In this capacity, she presides over complex matters and works with mediators to resolve such matters. She also is called upon to mediate disputes and differences within congregations across the country, assisting churches with the goal of consensus building, problem solving and reconciliation.
Paula is an active member of Faith Lutheran Church in Penfield, having served on the Church Council as congregational Vice-Chairperson, as a Sunday School teacher, and as a member of the Board of Directors of Faith Child Care and Nursery School. She is also a member of AutismUp, an organization that supports individuals with autism and their families by enriching lives while providing greater opportunities in greater Rochester and surrounding areas. Paula can often be found at the lacrosse field, cheering on her daughter and the Penfield Patriots.
Being the mother of a son with special needs, Paula has been honored to participate in the New York Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics, a five mile run from the Gates Police Department to the Liberty Pole in Downtown Rochester, running alongside local law enforcement personnel and Special Olympians. She also is a supporter of and volunteer with the PirateToy Fund, a local organization dedicated to providing toys to hospitalized children and those with special needs.
Paula is widowed, having been married to attorney Eric J. Metzler, a partner at the law firm of Chamberlain, D'Amanda, Oppenheimer and Greenfield, until his sudden passing in September, 2011. She resides on Hillrise Drive with her children, Casey and David.

Mauritania gives Liberia $US 400,000 for Ebola fight
(elbcradio.com/Liberia/ Jan. 7, 2015)-The Government of Mauritania has provided U.S. $400,000 to assist Liberia combat the Ebola pandemic.
The commitment was contained in a Memorandum of Understanding, MOU signed between Liberia and Mauritania Monday, January 5, 2015 at the Foreign Ministry in Monrovia.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf signed on behalf of Liberia while President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz signed on behalf of his government.
President Aziz, the current Chairperson of the African Union (AU), was on a solidarity visit to Liberia, one of the worst Ebola hit countries in West Africa.
In remarks, President Sirleaf welcomed her Mauritanian counterpart with profound gratitude for the visit.
"At a time when many others are keeping Liberia and Liberians at arm's length as a result of the Ebola outbreak, you have come not only to express your solidarity; but you decided to spend the night with us." President Sirleaf said.
The Liberian Leader recounted the cordial ties subsisting between Liberia and Mauritania for past six decades will further be strengthened.
"Indeed, your visit has afforded us an opportunity to renew relations between Liberia and Mauritania."
For his part, President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz thanked President Sirleaf and the people of Liberia for the warm reception, though noting he was not surprised.
"I am here to share with Liberians, to see the situation on the ground," President Aziz said.
"No matter how it is dramatically difficult, I am very confident that Liberia and the other affected countries will come out of this challenge and will be able to succeed in the recovery of their respective countries' economies", President Aziz noted.
He assured Liberia of his country and the AU's unwavering support in eliminating Ebola Virus from the sub-region.

Some tips for repairing Baldwin locks are checking if the knob or bolt collar plates are loose or replacing the locking lever mechanics. Another tip is to avoid over-tightening the screws that mount the knob or plates to prevent stripping the screws and latch problems.
When checking if the Baldwin lock is loose, find the wedge-shaped bolt on the collar plates for the knob and dead bolt. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws that secure each collar to the edge of the door. If the screw does not tighten, replace it with a longer or thicker screw so that it anchors into the frame again.
Next, find the mounting screws on the thumb button or knob, and tighten these as well. Find the plate around the key hole or thumb latch of the deadbolt above the knob. Tighten the screws on each plate.
To replace the locking lever mechanics, open the door, and find the screws around the locking mechanism on each side of the door. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove them, and place them somewhere for safekeeping. Remove the cover inside, find the set screw under the interior handle, and file it to loosen and remove it. Remove the interior handle, the door plate and screws while keeping the exterior handle in place.
Take out the locking cylinder before removing the exterior handle. Unscrew and remove the side cylinder, and clean the newly exposed parts of the door. Insert the new locking lever on the exterior, and secure the two new screws from the inside to the outside. Place the interior lock where the old one was, and screw it into place. Secure the new cylinder and strike plates with the provided screws, and replace the rest of the materials before checking the door.

Top 25 Funny Moms
Laughter is a mother's greatest tool: handy for redirecting a toddler in full-on meltdown, for defusing an argument, and, generally speaking, for turning a big bad moment in your family's day into one you can later share on Facebook. It's also what gets us moms over the bumps and keeps us moving forward — an absolute necessity when the entire family's mood seems to revolve around ours.
On our toughest days, when we're juggling too much and we're drowning in the chaos of it all, we're grateful that family life seems to come with a built-in laugh track. From the wacky things our kids do (one tot we know licks her entire desert territorially, just in case someone else might try to steal a bite), and say ("My pee is coming. I can feel it downloading!"), to crazy daily challenges like making dinner while simultaneously nursing the baby and fielding a visit from the Census taker, we moms have a VIP box at best comedy show in town.
But it's true that not every day with kids is a laugh riot. Sometimes we have to look to other people's families for comic relief. For these moments, we give you the Top 25 Funny Moms, as nominated and voted upon by Circle of Moms members.
Keep this list of bloggers handy: on tough days, these moms are all the medicine you'll need.
1. Because I Said So by Dawn Meehan
What inspired you to start blogging?
Eh, I had way too much time on my hands since I only had six kids to take care of, so I decided to start blogging.
What are three distinctive features of your blog?
Ugh, I don't know. Honestly, I don't think my blog is any different than any other blog out there. The people who read it do so because something I write resonates with them.
I guess, it's distinctive because I tell stories from the perspective of a single mom raising six kids on her own. I like to laugh and make others laugh as well. And I'm not only a blogger, but a published author.
What are three adjectives that describe your blog?
What are your three favorite posts?
2.The Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva by Susan McLean
What inspired you to start blogging?
In what now feel like a lifetime ago, I worked as a corporate trainer and often used my platform to recant stories and share funny mommy moments with my corporate classes. When I made the decision to stay home full time, I missed the adult interaction, and I felt like just one more episode of Wonder Pets away from my brain turning to mush. Blogging was my way of retaining an audience for some of the funnier situations life seems to consistently throw my way, connecting to other people going through the same "domestic challenges," and as a means of getting a little attention for myself (all bloggers are narcissists whether they admit it or not).

3. Snarky Mommy by Amy Sprenger
What inspired you to start blogging?
I started blogging about 93 years ago (OK, it just feels that way, it was actually six years ago) because all the cool kids were doing it. A few months after I started my blog, I got knocked up and was strapped to a bed for four months during a high-risk pregnancy. My blog became an outlet for the craziness of my pregnancy and morphed into a typical Mommy Blog after I had my kids. Well, that is, if you consider live-blogging your husband's vasectomy "typical."

Generally called "The Sinkhole Conference," since 1984 this conference series has been among the most significant in creating a better understanding of karst processes that result in environmental issues. It has also highlighted effective measures that identify karst impacts before they occur, prevent them from occurring, and remediate them when they do occur.
We look forward to seeing you in Carlsbad, New Mexico in 2013.
This year's location will be the furthest west for the meeting, which will make for great and unique field trips!

Thinking Ahead
The population of patients insured with marketplace health plans is growing — and with it comes a new set of challenges for radiologists.
February 2015
Under the Affordable Care Act, over 7.1 million individuals have successfully enrolled in and paid for plans under the health care marketplace.
Yet the Congressional Budget Office has predicted that by 2017, that number will rise to over 25 million and will continue to grow exponentially over the years.1,2 That's a critical piece of the patient population, and with that population comes a new set of challenges for radiologists and their practices, according to a recent article in the JACR®, "Here Come the Exchange Patients."3 Among those challenges is dealing with the grace period that these patients are given when they fail to pay their premium, notes article author Ezequiel Silva III, MD, vice chair of the Commission on Economics.
Understanding the Grace Period
Once patients fail to pay their first premium, they enter a 90-day grace period in which they are still covered by the insurance. However, to continue coverage beyond that period, patients must make up the back payments for the grace period and stay current with their premiums. Following the grace period, if a patient is still delinquent, he or she will be terminated from the insurance. This has several implications for the physician, says Silva. During the first 30 days of the grace period, patients maintain their coverage and little changes from a reimbursement perspective. However, during the second 30 days, the insurer is not responsible for paying claims — unless the patient pays the premium before the grace period ends.
How these later claims are processed depends on the insurance carrier, says Silva. Some insurers will hold the claims for the duration of the grace period. Others may grant reimbursement to physicians but then ask to be repaid by the physician should the patient continue to default on the premium. Obviously, neither of these are optimal situations; both put practices at risk for losing money.
Gathering Information
So what can you do? First, determine how you will be notified that your patients are within the grace period, says Silva. CMS requires that insurance companies notify physicians that their patient has lapsed on their payment and has entered the 90-day grace period, and that claims during this period could be denied. How insurance companies notify physicians, however, varies from provider to provider. Exactly when they must notify you is also not regulated, as long as it is sometime within the grace period.
Silva suggests that practices be proactive about obtaining this information by inquiring about your patients during the preauthorization process that often happens before an imaging procedure. This gives you the ability to make decisions about patients' care before they enter your office.
Taking Action
Next, what do you do when you encounter a patient who is within the grace period? First of all, it's important to note the things you cannot do. You cannot pay the patient's premium to enable your own payment, says Silva. Both the federal government and the AMA have released statements that cite those payments as inappropriate and unethical. But you should not completely deny care to grace-period patients either, adds Silva. If you are contracted with that insurer, refusing to provide care or providing incomplete care could be considered a breach of contract. Further, if you have established a doctor-
patient relationship, Silva notes that, as a physician, you are responsible for the patient's continuity of care.
What you can do is counsel your patient, says Silva. Sit down with your patient and find out the circumstances that have led to the patient's inability to pay his premiums. "A patient may tell you, 'I lost my job,' or 'I had a divorce' — these status changes could make them eligible for a different subsidy or marketplace plan that makes health care more affordable for them. And it is completely appropriate for an outpatient center or office to engage with a patient in that kind of discussion," Silva adds.
This is only one set of issues that patients under the marketplace can bring. "As the insurance plans in the marketplace shift and grow, we have a whole new population with a whole new set of challenges coming at us, and we don't have a good gauge of what's going to happen," says Silva. "We need to prepare for the issues we can predict while we can."

Next up was Allo, a chat app that will come with end-to-end encryption, a chat-bot, and a whole bunch of emojis. Chat-bots are so hot right now! Google's announcement that they have been developing one of their own was therefore not exactly a shocker. The reason why chat-bots are so cool, and how they differ from the likes of Siri, Cortana and Google Now, is that instead of pithy Q&A interactions, chat-bots use natural language to communicate either via voice or text. This means you can have a free flowing conversation with one and forget you're talking to a robot. One could argue therefore that we now live in an era of ubiquitous computing that renders the Turing Test almost routine and trivial, however my colleague, friend, and verbal sparring partner Dr Tim Willis (PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing) strongly refutes this but maybe that's because, unlike me, he has yet to be duped by one!
The company then announced a FaceTime rival called Duo, which Google calls "knock-knock". In my view this feature is a liability! Imagine a scenario where you put your phone down face up, perhaps you're in a meeting, at dinner or having drinks at a bar. Suddenly you receive an unexpected incoming Duo call. It's your other half and he or she's decided to surprise you with an erotic video preview that is now being shared with everyone within cited of your phone. Oops.
Moving on to Android N - no official launch date yet. Apparently the new OS has yet to be named, so my vote is for either Nougat. When it is finally released, it will come with Daydream, which is Google's new VR platform. In fact, it appears that Google is doubling down on VR. Apparently 50 million cardboard VR headsets have been sold so far, so launching a fully fledged VR platform makes logical sense if Google is to compete with the likes of Facebook who have stolen a march. Daydream promises under-20-milli-second latency and when released this autumn will come with a plethora of news, entertainment, and gaming content. One major downer is that Daydream will likely only work on new phones that are Daydream-ready. The company showed off a reference design for a VR headset presumably to encourage OEMs to support the platform. Oh and there was also a motion controller with a touchpad, so best start saving your pocket money now so you can afford the cost of entry, otherwise your daydream could very well turn into a costly nightmare.
Another big announcement is the second coming of Wear. Version 2.0 will not only make the Apple Watch look like the flawed product that it is, but will also make those that purchased one weep with regret (Apple Watch remains the most popular smartwatch, but according to MacRumors, its dominance declined from 60% to 50% last quarter as a result of Android-powered rivals). I'm a smug LG Urbane owner, and I can't wait for the upgrade. It promises to enable developers to embed far more complex interactions meaning users will be able to access data from almost any app and make it show up on the watch face. Furthermore, it will also allow the watch to do an increasing number of things without needing to be tethered to a smartphone - about time!
From a personal perspective, one of the most interesting announcements was that Google has developed a tiny QWERTY keyboard. I have mixed feelings on this, because I'm a co-founder of a company that's developed a smartwatch text input system called Tusi, which uses a very different, patent-pending alternative to QWERTY, which we think makes it far superior! On the one hand, it validates our belief that there will be plenty of situations where voice input is either unsuitable (due to privacy, disturbance to others and the sheer awkwardness of speaking into your wrist), or unreliable (due to poor network connection or loud surroundings), and hence touchscreen input is overdue. If you don't like speaking to your watch in public and would like a smartwatch keyboard that's hopefully better than Google's, then Tusi is for you! Download it for free, and let me know what you think, but please do bear in mind it's an early beta.
The keynote then covered Firebase Analytics (get it now, while it's free and unlimited), and this was followed by what for me was one of the most intriguing announcements made during the entire address - Android Instant Apps. This technology offers some of the functionality of an app but only when needed and here's the clever bit, you don't need to download it! Because developers can now "modularise" their apps, only the parts that are required are accessed. This avoids having to install loads of apps that are only used very occasionally, and it also prevents apps from being "siloed" thereby making apps cross-functional. Apple take note!
The event was then bookended by Sundar Pichai (Chief Executive Officer of Google) who returned to the stage to outline the company's commitment to Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. He explained how they are investing in their own proprietary hardware called Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to make TensorFlow even more powerful. TensorFlow was originally developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain Team within Google's Machine Intelligence research organisation for the purposes of conducting machine learning and deep neural networks research, but the system can be used for other applications. Two examples sighted by Sundar Pichai were robotics and medical. Apparently, using deep learning it's now possible for robots to think independently; learning by experiencing and interacting with the world around it as a human would, and autonomously adapting behaviour without the need for human intervention. This is the first time robots have actually been able to demonstrate true creativity, which is a major step forward. TensorFlow is also being used in the medical sector to make prognosis and diagnosis far more accurate. Machine learning and machine vision can now be used to spot and diagnose medical conditions using online diagnosis tools, which is particularly useful for patients who live in low income countries.
In summary, Google deserves a big pat on the back for smashing it out of the park yet again. Smiles all round, providing no one mentions the European Commission's antitrust investigation into Google's search and advertising business, and possibly its Android mobile operating system. One could argue that this is an accolade, because the only reason the EU is going after Google is that the company is crushing the competition. Not only will Google's dominance be causing a few eyebrows to be raised, but I can also imagine it causing a certain Californian rival to shed a bead or two of sweat. It's been another very good year for Google, at the cost of its rivals.

Author portrait by Sally Jubb Photography.
Official fancy bio:
Claire Askew is a poet, writer, creative writing teacher and groupwork facilitator living in Edinburgh, Scotland. Her poetry has appeared in a variety of publications including The Guardian, The Sunday Mail, The Dark Horse, and PANK. Poems of Claire's have also been selected for inclusion in the Scottish Poetry Library's annual Best Scottish Poems anthology an amazing three times (2008, 2009 and 2014). Her work has been recognised by numerous awards, including the International Salt Prize for Poetry, the Mslexia Women's Poetry Competition, the Charles Causley Poetry Competition and the Edwin Morgan Poetry Award. Claire's debut pamphlet collection, The Mermaid and the Sailors, was published in 2011 by Red Squirrel Press: poems from it won the 2009 William Sharpe Hunter Memorial Scholarship for Creative Writing, and the 2010 Virginia Warbey Poetry Prize. Her first full length collection, This changes things, is forthcoming from Bloodaxe Books in early 2016, and Claire is working on her first novel, Three Rivers (working title), which was longlisted for the Peggy Chapman-Andrews (Bridport) Novel Award in 2014. For a full list of all Claire's publications, please click here.
Claire is also an experienced performer, and has read her work at events and festivals across the UK and beyond. She acted as an official Scottish "slambassador" for the 2011 City2Cities Literature Festival in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and has performed at Aye Write!, StAnza Festival, the Edinburgh International Book Festival (2009 and 2014), and in the Free Fringe, to name but a few. Claire's a Literary Death Match winner (Edinburgh, 2012), a co-convenor of Shore Poets, and an experienced poetry slam judge.
Hire me:
As well as being a busy poet and writer, I am also a freelance tutor and groupwork facilitator. You can hire me to do all sorts of things, including:
To offer creative writing tuition and mentoring
I currently teach a weekly women's fiction writing course called Write Like A Grrrl!, designed for women who face barriers that prevent them from living their writing dreams. In the summer of 2016 I helped to deliver the very first #GrrrlCon! — an all-weekend writing and confidence-building gathering for women. If you want to find out more about WLAG!'s activities in Edinburgh, you can email email@example.com to register your interest.
I can also be hired to deliver creative writing courses, or one-off sessions, on poetry, fiction or memoir/personal writing. In the past, I've worked with community organisations, libraries, schools, writing groups and book groups, big organisations like The Poetry School… and would love to chat to you about coming to work with you, too. If you're an individual who wants to brush up their writing (everything from finding inspiration to overcoming writer's block, to entering contests and getting published), I am happy to offer one-to-one mentoring sessions, too.
Email email@example.com, or read on for information about my rates.
To work with people who face multiple barriers to learning
I strongly believe that reading, writing and the love of books can and should belong to everyone, and I am especially keen to work with people who face barriers to reading, writing and learning. I'm currently working as a Scottish Book Trust Reading Champion at Craigmillar Library in Edinburgh, with a focus on getting young people aged 12-18 through the door to engage with books, reading, stories, and especially story-based games! You can find out more about how that's going at my Reading Champion blog.
In addition, I have delivered creative writing sessions for homeless and vulnerably housed people, working with organisations including Crisis Skylight Edinburgh and Bethany Christian Trust. In 2014, I worked on Waverley Care's Inside/Out: a project designed to empower individuals affected by HIV and/or Hep C to share their personal stories through writing and photography. I have been privileged to work on several writing projects involving asylum seekers, refugees and migrants; working with Refugee Survival Trust; the Scottish Refugee Council; and with the Maryhill Integration Network and Women Supporting Women as part of Making It Home.
Lastly, I spent five years at Edinburgh's Telford College (now Edinburgh College, Granton), and two years at Scottish Book Trust, working with young people and adults who struggle with literacy. I have delivered workshops and interventions in a variety of adult learning settings across Scotland, including the Oban Youth Cafe, Adult Basic Education Bathgate, and the South Ayrshire Youth Forum. I hold a PDA in Adult Education, attained in 2010.
To create educational resources
Having spent many years working in adult education settings, I've become pretty good at putting together fun, engaging learning resources for discussion, group work or solo projects. This year, I created a suite of creative writing resources to accompany Scottish Book Trust's public participation campaign, Journeys: they include resources specifically tailored for organisations working with adult learners. Also for Scottish Book Trust, I created and curated a suite of supporting activities to accompany Walk The Walk, a graphic novel for learners aged 16+ on the theme of tackling sectarianism.
Elsewhere, I helped to create the Inside/Out project exhibition in collaboration with Waverley Care and photographer Lisa Fleming: this was a week-long exhibition of participants' writing and photography, shown at the Traverse Theatre as part of Book Week Scotland 2014. I also crowdfunded, and co-edited, Making It Home, the Making It Home project book, which included participants' writing, photography, drawings, and testimonials. My co-editor on the project was the poet Jane McKie.
To speak or perform at your event
I love getting out and about to meet people and talk to audiences, whether I'm reading my creative work or giving a talk. I've been hired a few times to speak about intersectional feminism, or about inequality in the arts world — most recently, I gave a talk as part of New Scotland: New Culture? at Summerhall, asking the question, who gets to be part of the cultural conversation? I've presented research from my PhD in Creative Writing and Contemporary Women's Poetry at the University of Edinburgh's The Business conference, at Writers at the Pleasance, and at the Melrose Literary Society. I've also spoken and been interviewed about my love of manual typewriters! To date, I've appeared in the media on STV News, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Scotland, and in various podcasts, too (see Press for more details).
I'm happy to travel all over the place, where expenses allow: if you want me to come and be part of your event, please email email@example.com!
To write a poem for you
I've been commissioned to write poems for all sorts of things, but probably the most exciting was being asked to pen a 16-line poem to accompany the Body Shop Plc's fragrance range Dreams Unlimited! My wee poem appeared on every piece of Dreams Unlimited packaging — and on in-store displays — in Body Shop outlets worldwide! I worked closely with the Body Shop Plc's Copy & Tone of Voice department throughout, travelling back and forth to London where necessary. So really: no job is too big, or too small! Please do get in touch.
If you want to hire me, you can get help by applying to Scottish Book Trust's Live Literature fund: I am on their database of artists, and would encourage you to look into their funding, which covers 50% of author fees and all travel expenses!
However, you can also hire me directly by emailing email@example.com. I am usually happy to meet for a coffee and a chat (or to Skype!) for free, to talk more about your project! My private rates are in line with Scottish Artists' Union rates of pay, and I am open to negotiations, too!
Oh, and lastly, I also run a jewellery store!
I believe that no hard-working, self employed girl should be without a reliable side business, so in 2009 I opened Edinburgh Vintage, an online vintage store specialising in jewellery, collectables and small antiques. According to CraftCount, Edinburgh Vintage is one of the Top 15 UK Vintage Sellers on the whole of Etsy! Please do head over and have a browse.
Please feel free to get in touch — just drop a line to email@example.com. For press materials, click here.

Small World!
I introduced myself to a gentleman giving a chess lesson at my neighborhood coffee shop and discovered he was from New Orleans. Alfred Carlin has been the Louisiana State Chess Champion 5 times. He is missed as a chess teacher in New Orleans, as mentioned in this article, in the section "Scholastic Drought".
Chess and Scholastic Achievement
If New Orleans had to lose Mr. Carlin, I'm glad he came here so our children can benefit from his chess instruction. The Plano schools require student participation in Choir or Band in 6th grade because studies show a connection between music and scholastic achievement. Similar studies have shown that playing chess improves scholastic achievement. Alfred Carlin was tutoring students at the coffee shop and I'll wager his students do well in school.
Chess at Texas Tech
Many students from Plano go to Texas Tech. You will be happy to hear that a chess team from Tech tied for 2nd place at the 2009 Pan-American Intercollegiate Team Chess Championship held Dec. 27-30 on South Padre Island. A chess team from Tech tied with a team from UT Dallas, which has been a national powerhouse in chess for years. The Tech A team defeated Princeton, University of Texas at Austin and Stanford University. The Raiders B team defeated Yale University's B team.
Texas Tech has Grandmaster Susan Polgar heading SPICE: the Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence. Grandmaster Polgar, born in Budapest, Hungary, now lives in Lubbock. I'm happy to see a major Texas university like Texas Tech bringing world-class talent to Texas to help our students achieve at the highest levels.
It's great to see talented teachers like Alfred Carlin in the Dallas/Plano area and Susan Polgar in Lubbock helping our children compete at the highest levels.
Robert Canright
PS: I can help you contact Alfred Carlin if you so desire.

Latest News
More than 700 wildfires dirty the air
Thanks to wildfires blanketing Central California, Merced County's air quality could remain bad for the second day in a row today.
Shawn R. Ferreria, Fresno-based senior air quality specialist with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, said Monday's air quality index registered 140 in Merced County and is predicted to stay at 129 today. Any reading between 101 and 150 is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Ferreria said rising ozone readings were beating out measurements of particulate matter churned out by the spate of wildfires and both ozone and particulate readings are responsible for the unhealthy for sensitive groups rankings.
A spokesman for Mercy Medical Center Merced said Monday the hospital's emergency department has not encountered any significant increase in respiratory cases because of smoky air conditions in this area.
Stanislaus County's air quality readings were 147 on Monday and predicted to be the same for today. The air district's closest live monitoring station to Merced is in downtown Turlock. It measures particulate matter 2.5 microns in size or smaller, one of the byproducts of wildland fires that are still burning in Mariposa County and other parts of the state.
Lightning strikes Saturday in the foothills triggered a number of dry vegetation fires in Merced and Mariposa counties. The impact of these fires was light Sunday but worsened Monday, with the smell of smoke evident and the sky murky.
Things were worse in San Joaquin County, Ferreria said. Monday's air quality reading there was 156 and expected to be 155 today. Air quality readings of 150 to 200 are considered unhealthy for all groups.
Ferreria said residents with asthma or other lung problems are urged to stay indoors. The small particles in the smoke are capable of getting deep into the lungs, causing health problems.
Exposure to the particle pollution can aggravate lung disease, cause asthma attacks and acute bronchitis and increase the risk of respiratory infections, according to the air district.
Short-term exposure to particle pollution has also been linked to heart attacks and arrhythmias in people with heart disease, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Older adults and children should avoid prolonged exposure, strenuous activities or heavy exertion, and everyone else should reduce exposure and strenuous activity, air district officials warn.
The thunderstorm system that came through California on Saturday generated 5,000 to 6,000 lightning strikes, and sparked more than 700 fires, said Daniel Berlant, a spokesman for Cal Fire.
Associate Editor Doane Yawger can be reached at (209) 385-2485 or email@example.com. Modesto Bee reporter Tim Moran contributed to this report.

Lawrence Barriner II, here.
I believe in the power of love to create justice and the power of story to make new worlds possible. I imagine radical alternatives to our existing reality not as an escape but as a strategy. I dream of a world where liberation is experienced, not just imagined. My work in building that world is to support transformation at all scales.
At the scale of the individual, I support transformation through 1on1 (life and/or productivity) coaching. At the organizational scale, I facilitate as a means to support groups of people to move through or transform in relationship to barriers. At the network scale, I support ecosystem transformation by supporting people to think about what it means to move like a network and then act accordingly.
I have a Master of City Planning and Bachelor of Science in Planning, both from MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning. My research while at MIT primarily focused on food systems and food justice. Teaching (and doing) photography scratched my creative itches.
My paid work is primarily strategic communications, storytelling, teaching, and facilitation. I do these as a staff person, as a consultant, and sometimes both.
I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, grew up in Tallahassee, Florida, and have lived in Boston since the Fall of 2007 (save two gap years in the middle of undergrad when I almost became a monk). I run a consulting practice, a blog, a weekly newsletter, a bi-weekly radio show, and a completely irregular podcast.
My vision of the world has people living in right relationship with each other, the planet, and all beings (human and non). I am a proud gay uncle to the children of several friends and know I'm moving at the right pace when I am baking sourdough at least once a week.

OAKLAND — The City of Oakland is moving forward with plans to build a new 39,000-seat ballpark and has solidified the choice for where it should be built: a waterfront parcel east of Fallon Street. The site has since been dubbed Victory Court after the street running through the area.
The city also is taking another major step toward the Victory Court plan by launching the environmental impact report process and is requesting public input. Comments should be directed to Peterson Vollman in the Oakland Community and Economic Development Agency by 4:30 p.m. Dec. 9.
Once the report is completed, Oakland will be neck-and-neck with San Jose, where A's owners Lew Wolff and John Fisher want to relocate the team. A completed report would deprive San Jose of one of its arguments for putting the A's in Santa Clara County. Their battle to move the A's to San Jose is further complicated by the fact that the San Francisco Giants have territorial rights in the South Bay.
The public will have a chance to weigh in on the plans Dec. 1 at an Oakland Planning Commission meeting. Those plans also include a retail, office and residential units along with 2,500 off-site parking places adjacent to the ballpark.
The plan is favored by Mayor-Elect Jean Quan. She announced her support during her mayoral campaign, saying that the city could rely on redevelopment money for the project. Those funds could be used to pay for the environmental impact report. The Oakland Planning Commission meeting begins at 6 p.m. in Hearing Room One, City Hall, One Frank Ogawa Plaza.

A Fast One/
Remember how I was complaining about my boring workday and how the most exciting thing I did was wrestle with an industrial size stapler? Well, I'm yearning for that simpler time... We are incredibly busy at work. If you sell Cuisinarts on commission, busy is great news. If you are a social worker who investigates abuse, not so much. We are investigating record numbers of abuse/neglect/exploitation cases right now which does not say much about the current state of the world.
I have 20 cases to close and about 20 more to open. I hate it when work gets in the way of blogging.
So, I just wanted to post some exciting pictures to keep you all updated on the construction progress at my house. I was looking in through what will be the windows and actually pictured art on the walls. I am way past the angst of the fork in the road and am downright thrilled.
