Family Law
Message From the Chair
It is a great honor to be the Chair of the Family Law Section for 2019! Our Section has a strong sense of community and readily welcomes all attorneys who are interested in the area of family law. We have members who have various levels of experience in family law, and our membership is comprised of practitioners, members of the court and judiciary, educators, administrators, members of small, medium, and large firms, and law students. Our Section is deeply committed to the promotion of professionalism, civility, and diversity as we strive to ensure we hone our legal skills in order to best serve our profession and clients.
The leaders of our section (i.e., the Section Officers, Executive Committee Members, Committee Chairs, and Liaisons) are dedicated to improving our profession and strengthening the membership's knowledge and skills in the area of family law. To this end, we hold Section and Executive Committee meetings each month. The Section meetings include court updates, case law/rule/legislative updates, and often CLE programs. The Executive Meetings involve discussions and voting regarding policies, rules, and any concerns of the Section. The Section's Committees also hold their own separate meetings on specific areas of law and address issues relevant to our Section. Notices for all meetings and programs are set forth via the Section's list serve.
Our Section also upholds the value of mentoring and offers both Peer-to-Peer and Law Student Mentoring Programs. These programs provide important support, guidance and encouragement to peers and upcoming attorneys.
In addition, our Section acknowledges the importance of helping the large number of unrepresented litigants in Philadelphia have access to resources to help them navigate the court system. Accordingly, members from our Section volunteer at the Help Center on the 11th Floor of the Family Court on Mondays and Wednesdays between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m.
Finally, our Section has an ongoing commitment to work cooperatively with the court to have procedures and policies in place which best help litigants have access to justice. We acknowledge that our judiciary and court members are striving to serve the best interests of litigants, and our Section is committed to having a strong partnership with the court in that endeavor.
I hope to see you at our meetings!

Family Law Section Mentoring Committee
As part of the Family Law Section's continuing commitments to improve attorney professionalism and competence, the Section offers two types of mentoring programs: Peer-to-Peer and Law Student. The Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program provides attorneys who are less experienced in the area of Family Law with the ability to connect and consult with an experienced Family Law attorney for guidance and support. If you are interested in participating as a Mentor or Mentee in the Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program, please click here.
The Law Student Mentoring Program allows current students from regional law schools to connect with Family Law attorneys. The Mentors provide their Mentees with valuable knowledge and insight into the legal profession, while also providing practical advice on conquering the challenges of law school. Though the formal law student mentoring relationship is expected to be for one academic year, many Mentors and Mentees retain their connections for much longer. If you would like to participate as a Mentor or a Mentee in the Law Student Mentoring Program, please contact one of the Co-Chairs below.
Also, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact the one of the Co-Chairs:

Therapeutic and cosmetic are the two main types of mouthwashes. While cosmetic mouthwashes can temporarily reduce bad breath, they do not attack the cause of bad breath or reduce the bacteria that causes bad breath, plaque, gum disease, or tooth decay. Therapeutic mouthwashes reduce plaque, gingivitis, tooth decay, and bad breath. Mouthwashes are not meant to replace brushing and flossing your teeth. If you have a hard time doing those correctly, using mouthwash can help prevent you from developing cavities and gum disease. When combined with your home care, mouthwash can be very beneficial. The benefits provided depend on the ingredients in the mouthwash, so be sure to read the ingredients. Mouthwashes usually contain one or more of the following:
• Fluoride, which helps reduce and prevent tooth decay
• Antimicrobials, which kill the bacteria that cause bad breath, plaque, and gum disease
• Astringent salt, a deodorizer that temporarily covers bad breath
• Odor neutralizers, which can attack the cause of bad breath
• Whiteners, like peroxide, that can reduce stains on the teeth
Choose a mouthwash that will help the condition that you wish to treat most, as it is sometimes hard to find one mouthwash that does it all. Look for a mouthwash that has the American Dental Association (ADA) seal on the label. The ADA seal recognizes companies that show scientific proof that their products work. You can even find the ADA seal on some generic and store brands.
We welcome you to contact our office today to learn more and to schedule an appointment with our dentist.

Unfortunately, we all know someone with a monster-in-law—and even more dismaying, sometimes that person is us. But these horror stories are so shocking they are sure to make you feel better about your own mother-in-law, whose antics surely can't compete with this craziness.
"My mother-in-law pushed all my buttons—then bawled at my wedding."
When it comes to recalling the shenanigans her mother-in-law whipped out before and during her wedding, Kristen begins, "where do I start?" Her soon-to-be family member had a way of pushing each and every one of her buttons, she reports, including calling when her then-fianc� wasn't home to toss out insults—only to deny the bitter diatribes when he returned. Then the wedding day came. "My mother-in-law spent the majority of our wedding crying in a separate room about her ex-husband, who was also at the wedding," Kristen describes. "She was crying that she still loved him!" Talk about awkward. Luckily, Kristen says, her mother-in-law couldn't truly spoil the day, despite her best efforts. "She in no way ruined my wedding—I wouldn't give her that credit—but she made the two years up to the wedding hell for me and my husband," she says.

"My mother-in-law gave the worst wedding toast of all time."
Jennifer had a feeling her future mother-in-law might not like her—or be happy for her son's impending marriage. But when Jennifer's newest family member didn't mince words in her wedding toast, the bride no longer had to question the woman's true feelings about her relationship with her son. "In the worst wedding toast of all time," Jennifer describes, "my mother-in-law didn't congratulate us or say any of the nice things people would typically say. For her toast, she launched into a complaint about how her son would not do homework when he was a kid. She berated him for this throughout her little speech, like it was a grudge she's held for the last 32 years and this was finally her opportunity to share it with the world." Ouch! But Jennifer continues, "I can't say that she ruined the day, but she sure did hurt my husband's feelings. He hasn't talked to her since."
"My mother-in-law made out with one of the groomsmen."
Katie knew her future mother-in-law had a wild side. As she describes, "she was the kind of woman who would suggest shots if we were out at a restaurant. She once took a shot out of a man's belly button—with her son in view!" But Katie mistakenly believed she would behave on the couple's wedding day. "She didn't," Katie laments. "When we couldn't find her for the mother-son dance, we sent our maid-of-honor and best man to track her down. They found her in a car in the parking lot—with her legs wrapped around one of the groomsmen!" Though her mother-in-law pulled herself together in time to take a twirl, Katie has never forgiven her. "And my husband no longer speaks to the friend who took her into the backseat," she says.

Last night Richard and the staff headed over to the Society of Illustrators for our "Evening with Liz Lomax." After an introduction by Dennis Dittrich, Liz spoke about her beginnings as a child artist, building well-appointed homes for her dolls and for her local caterpillars, and her early inspiration, which included the British series The Amazing Adventures of Morph by Aardman Animations (of Wallace and Gromit fame).
Liz went on to talk about her path through art school, showed a few slides of her early 3D pieces, and spoke of her adult influences, including Niki de Saint Phalle and Red Grooms.
Also, I don't know if Liz is Ronco's new spokesperson, but she did go on to endorse the set it and forget it rotisserie oven for use as a sculpey cooker. C'mon, it would be a serious improvement...
She also showed us slides of herself with Roger Daltrey and Ringo Starr, both of whom own original pieces of hers.
When she's not busy hugging millionaire rock stars, Liz is in her studio working... constantly. She sculpts, builds environments, photographs, and digitally enhances her pieces under sometimes impossible deadlines. The woman clearly loves her work.
She's also found herself a niche business creating mini couples for wedding cakes, adding "cake toppers... they are stressful."
Here's a pic of Liz with her father, Stan Lomax, who was up from the Carolinas for the talk. This guy teaches corporate ethics to college students. How great is that?
If you'd like to see the talk online, the Society of Illustrators will be posting it in its entirety on their website.

you are so LOVED, darling!!!!!
It's really just another day...February 14th. It's a day that is focused on LOVE. In reality this should be our FOCUS every single day of our life. It's #whatmattersmost.
It is so simple.
LOVE is WHAT we all crave and want.
To love and to feel LOVED.
When Tyler got sick with cancer, it HIT our family HARD. He went from being so FIT and active. It was so unexpected. He got sick and it hit him hard FAST. It opens your eyes to LIFE. It was a time for reflection. I realized then and now that LIFE is all about LOVE. It's about LOVING life, the people in our LIFE and showing that LOVE. We had many talks... many regrets and things that would have been different. You always think you have TIME. We quickly realized that this is not the case. There are times we do and say things we shouldn't have. We need to make each day a precious gift to ourself. We must use our time to show and give our love to others. We are imperfect humans and often we get it wrong. We say and do wrong things. We can hurt those we love the most and in the end... don't we all do it because of the LOVE we have for them?
This is TRUE....
I am going to keeping LOVING life and every single day of it. I am going to LOVE my children, family and friends with FIERCENESS and every day just be full of appreciation for this crazy wonderful life.
HAPPY LOVE DAY... remember to #spreadlove.

PorterBriggs.com – by Emily Glaser
Cedar Key, Florida
NOTE: A legal size B&W copy of the 1884 Cedar Key Map can be purchased at the Cedar Key Historical Society Museum for under $10.
A narrow, sunshiny sprawl of sand defines the coastal town of Cedar Key. Plucked from the coast of Florida and floating in the warm Gulf of Mexico, the idyllic island has long hosted men and sea life alike, the two twisting in centuries of symbiotic relationships. Hundreds of years ago, American Indians settled on the land and dove into her surrounding waters, sustained on vibrant oyster and fish colonies.
In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as communities cropped up on Cedar Key, the new residents took once again to the sea. The Gulf was home to a plethora of valuable edibles, most significantly sea turtles and oysters. Early fishermen took advantage of those natural resources, scouring the waters and selling their hunted vendibles to a clambering public. But their early passion stripped the seas, exhausting natural oyster beds and eradicating the sea turtle population.
The twentieth century brought destruction to Cedar Key, as hurricanes tore through tenuous settlements. Yet the ocean still provided, and residents remained. Commercial fishing sustained the majority of Cedar Key's population throughout the twentieth century. But in 1994 a way of life that had sustained generations of fishermen for centuries suddenly disappeared.
That year the state of Florida banned net fishing in all of its forms. The law outlawed net fishing for three miles into the Atlantic Ocean and for a shocking nine miles into the Gulf of Mexico. Though the law was intended to preserve wildlife by preventing dangerous over-fishing of species and accidental capture of mammals like turtles and dolphins, it endangered the livelihood of at least twenty-five Cedar Key families dependent on commercial fishing, a craft they had gleaned from their parents, their grandparents, and their great-grandparents.
And yet the sea provided—with a little help from the state. In order to rectify their ruination of Cedar Key's major form of commerce, the state established a new industry: clams. Through an initiative called Project Wave, the government provided extensive training in clam farming for those families severely affected by the fishing ban, affording them a new lifestyle in their old home, the waters off Cedar Key. And in true forty-acres-and-a-mule fashion, former fishermen were also given two two-and-a-half-acre plots of their own to practice their new craft.
Since that time, aquaculture has grown to a multimillion-dollar industry in Cedar Key. By 1998, a mere four years into the business, tiny Cedar Key was producing more clams than anywhere else in the country. Cedar Key's location proved to be the perfect breeding ground for the bivalves. Unlike other clam farms in harbors or sounds with stale waters, the Gulf is constantly refreshed and flushed with fresh water. The uniquely muddy and sandy sediment of its floors fosters growth for a variety of types of clams. And the subtropical climate proved ideal; phytoplankton, clams' favorite food, flourishes in the warm waters.
In shallow waters around the island, just four feet deep, farmers plant bags of clams. The polyester bags, hardy enough to withstand currents and layers of shifting sands, are pinned to the gulf's floor. Farmers let the bags ruminate for a year, during which time the tiny clams, tucked in their pearly shells, grow to good eatin' size.
Cedar Key is home to a handful of independent clam fishermen, but recent years have again threatened their industry. Larger, capitalistic companies threatened Cedar Key's natives, gathering groups of plots and monopolizing the clam industry. But Cedar Key's citizens fought back and preserved their new lifestyle by preventing lease expansions.
On an island like Cedar Key, the sea and the land become one. Citizens are as comfortable in the water as on shore, amphibious creatures who take to the water without gills. And with a thriving clam industry and nothing but sunshine on the horizon, these seaborne citizens will preserve their traditional lifestyle for generations to come.

Leonard Cohen Songs of Leonard Cohen Limited 180gram Audiophile LP
When Cohen became known as a musician in his late 30s with his albums Songs Of Leonard Cohen and the sophomore Songs From A Room, people were surprised that his music seemed to come out fully formed. Many were familiar with his work as an author and poet, but did not know that he had been a musician for most of his life. For Cohen, making music was another way to bring his poetry to the people. The dark thrall of his songs portray an artist that is ever able to trace the hidden contours of love, lust, sex, religion, politics and history.
Songs Of Leonard Cohen is his 1968 debut, and it is filled with songs about the dynamics between men & women, but not necessarily about love. They deal more with the constant struggle between the sexes. On it are some of his most-loved songs such as "Suzanne", "Sisters Of Mercy" and "So Long Marianne".

NEWS- Growth issues: Surveys clash on county satisfaction
Not surprising: Albemarle's registered voters want to protect the county's rural areas. Surprising: Fewer than half of those surveyed by a local group are satisfied with the government's efforts to do so, in sharp contrast to a county survey that showed a more satisfied citizenry.
Nonpartisan development watchdog and information conduit Charlottesville Tomorrow released the results of a $51,000 public opinion research project July 30 that surveyed 1,000 registered voters and conducted four focus groups.
"There was strong dissatisfaction with the government's ability to prepare infrastructure," says Charlottesville Tomorrow's executive director Brian Wheeler. Nor do respondents believe government is responsive to voter concerns, Wheeler says.
Another big surprise from the survey of the mostly 50-plus-year-old, highly educated, and well-heeled respondents: 78 percent not only support land use policies like phasing or time-based zoning, but they know what the heck those are.
A mere 32.8 percent of respondents think local government is doing a good job making sure infrastructure is in place to support new development, and only 42 percent think developers pay their fair share for infrastructure. And despite the plethora of public hearings on almost every issue, 60 percent of the surveyed don't think the government pays enough attention to them. And while citizens squawked loudly about the latest round of property reassessments and the inevitable higher taxes, 56 percent of Charlottesville Tomorrow's respondents would support a modest tax increase earmarked for transportation– as long as it wasn't tacked on to property taxes.
Local Republican Paul Wright is skeptical about Charlottesville Tomorrow's nonpartisanship and the timing of the survey in a year when three Board of Supervisors seats are up for grabs.
"They claim they're nonpartisan, but I don't recognize a single local Republican on their board. I recognize a number of Democrats," says Wright, who is involved in several local Republican races.
He wonders about the lack of survey questions about property rights and "Should we compensate people for taking their property rights?"
Wheeler points to a survey question that says property owners should be able to do what they like with their property, regardless of the impact on neighbors, with which only 34 percent agreed. "Any question about how we use the land or zone is all about property rights," contends Wheeler.
He also disagrees with Wright's perception that Charlottesville Tomorrow is a hotbed of Democrats. "Our vice chairman, Paula Newcomb, is Republican," says Wheeler. "I think that's not an accurate critique of our board."
He encourages those who doubt the organization's nonpartisanship to check out its donors on the Virginia Public Access Project website. [Disclosure: Hook owner Ted Weschler is on that list.]
VPAP tracks who gives money to state political candidates and how much. Wright contends that Albemarle County races are on there because Charlottesville Tomorrow donated $6,000 to VPAP. "There would not be online use of VPAP [Albemarle] data unless they donate money," he says.
"The donation was to support the initiative overall," replies Wheeler, who calls the donors' list "another example of nonpartisanship. We're bringing that transparency to the local level."
County spokeswoman Lee Catlin is not surprised that citizens were more satisfied with government in the county survey than in Charlottesville Tomorrow's because the county measures a wide variety of services such as fire, police, and parks.
"A lot of services are not as controversial as development," says Catlin, noting the narrow focus of the Charlottesville Tomorrow survey. "It's a very understandable discrepancy when you ask people about the one thing they're not very happy with."
She compares the most recent survey to those brought to the BOS by other advocacy groups like the Chamber of Commerce, the Free Enterprise Forum, or Southern Environmental Law Center.
"We are always anxious to find out what people are thinking and how government can be better," says Catlin. "We have to pay attention."
Still, "We do feel very confident of the credibility of our survey," she says.

"An EC directive is forcing hospitals to ban the traditional belts and ornate buckles traditionally worn by nurses".
This seems like a case of excessive zeal. Neither the Community health and safety legislation nor UK national legislation precludes nurses from wearing buckles.
If it were shown through evaluation that buckles were the cause of accidents or injuries to patients or nurses, it would be sensible to ask nurses not to wear them.

text: Euroscepticism is often based on underlying narratives that have questionable grounding but that are easily sold to the public. Take for instance Farage's most recent claim that open-door immigration is the reason for traffic congestion on the M4, which is nothing short of scapegoating. The external is so confidently presented as the reason for the internal problem that it avoids analysis. More people = more traffic. Settled. The problem then feeds into the bigger picture. Traffic is caused by foreigners (probably on their way to the benefits office, right Nigel?) just like Britain's problems are the fault of the EU. The deficit, that humanity-threatening and austerity-justifying buzzword, has come about because overpaid Eurocrats like to send out £1.7 billion bills randomly for fun. We can all clearly see the gaping holes in this narrative and so it should just be a matter of clearing out the cobwebs, yet they remain the content of the daily headlines, for fact has never outsold fiction. As David Hume demonstrated, scepticism is only possible if empiricism is untenable. But scapegoating jumps over empiricism and lands straight at myth. Through research we have all for the most part arrived at the consensus that the EU is in some form beneficial, and therefore it follows that greater knowledge would de facto decrease euroscepticism, but we find ourselves on the wrong side of the eternal struggle between the truth-bearers and the dramatists. Like football managers we can appeal to history, but in a constantly demanding climate of results we find that past achievement counts for little. We appeal to reason and publish statistics, but then the tabloids print a widely-read story about a benefit-fraud immigrant. How can we convince people that the M4 might be busy because it's always been busy? The question is a difficult one, and finding the answer must be seen as the goal of our movement.

Why the Kirby Torch?
The issue is supply of the Kirby sailboat and parts to sailors worldwide. After numerous attempts, Bruce Kirby felt he had no choice but to withdraw Laser brand building rights in North America and Europe. Through the Kirby Torch brand, sailors will be able to maintain access to hulls, parts and the one-design aspect which is the touchstone of the Kirby sailboat design. To accelerate this outcome, the Kirby Torch builders agree that all original ISAF-plaqued Lasers that include Bruce Kirby's name are class legal in the Kirby Torch fleet.

"I BORG" – A Fans Review
The show continued to address real-world issues in The Next Generation. One example of this is the episode "I, Borg" in which the Enterprise crew comes to the aid of a dying Borg drone who is the sole survivor of a crash. Captain Picard is preparing to aid the survivor, as is his duty until he hears that it is a Borg. Then he promptly changes his tune, electing to leave the helpless drone to die.
This can be taken as a very exaggerated example of racism in general and racial profiling or assume something about a person based solely on their race. Despite his claim later in the episode, Picard is not entirely over his traumatic encounter with the Borg, and it shows in his reaction. As Riker, via his communicator, identifies the survivor's species, the camera zooms in on Picard as his face hardens and viewers can almost feel the icy cold radiating off of him as he and Crusher argue over what to do with the drone. Picard maintains this coldness for most of the episode. He changes it toward the end and I will get to that a little later.
Dr Crusher is on the drone's side from the start, being the complete opposite of the captain and completely ignoring the drone's race. This is probably easier for her to do, as saving lives is her job and she viewed him as a survivor in need of emergency medical care who just happened to be a Borg.
As the story progresses and the drone awakes, we see a third character's attitude toward the situation. Initially, engineer Geordi LaForge is prejudiced against the Borg, but not to the same extent as the captain.
As time goes on, however, LaForge quickly changes his tune after talking to the drone who calls himself Third of Five. Geordi seems in awe as he finds his expectations being proven wrong as Third of Five exhibits a growing curiosity about Geordi and Beverly, even as he explains what the life of a Borg drone is like. Beverly and Geordi quickly bond with Third of Five, a bond that strengthened when Third of Five asked them for a name and Geordi called him Hugh, a name of German origin which means "Bright in Mind and Spirit" ( What Does The Name Hugh Mean? ).
The name seems to fit, as Hugh seems more and more eager to learn about the world outside the Collective. However, Captain Picard refuses to see this as he insists on calling Hugh "it" and spitting out the words with narrowed eyes when he does, his voice sharp and knifelike when compared to starry-eyed, soft-spoken Hugh. By now, it is obvious to the audience that Hugh is not a threat, and this further emphasises Picard's blatant refusal to give up his prejudice as he comes up with a sinister plan to use Hugh as an unwilling instrument of genocide.
Geordi, soon after hearing the plan, returns to Picard after speaking with Beverly and Hugh (the latter being completely unaware of the captain's plans for the entire episode). He tells Picard he is having second thoughts, to which Picard responds with more racial prejudice. He again refuses to see Hugh as a person and compares him to lab animals used in 21st-century science labs, citing instances of scientists becoming attached to the animals, which became a problem when the animal could possibly be killed in an experiment. He advises Geordi to "detach himself" to which Geordi responds with a disappointed look and whispered "Aye sir." Examples of such genocidal intents are alarmingly numerous in the real world, but Hitler and the Holocaust immediately come to mind.
There is one character who COULD (doesn't mean SHOULD) be considered justified in making such genocidal plans. Guinan the El-Aurian bartender, whose world was destroyed by the Borg and her people decimated. Yet she seems indifferent to Hugh's presence aboard the Enterprise until Geordi visits Ten Forward after Picard tells him to detach himself from Hugh. There he tells Guinan about his change of heart and his experience with Hugh, urging her to see for herself and talk to him. Guinan scoffs and tells him she would have nothing to say to the Borg.
Frustrated by the injustice he is seeing, Geordi storms out, but not before telling Guinan "Then just listen. That IS what you do best, isn't it."
Captain Picard later gathers his army and explains his plan for the genocide of the Borg, which Beverly tries to oppose, but she is the only one actively doing so. She tries to persuade the captain that the genocide is wrong, no matter what species it is. He brushes her off with scare tactics and exaggerated depictions of what will happen if they do not destroy the Borg now (never mind that there's been very few problems with the Federation and the Borg since "Q Who")
The Captain even seems to take a small bit of pleasure in the idea of killing billions of people when he agrees with Beverly's claim that his proposed plan sounds like a disease, adding "If all goes well, a terminal one."
Now comes the second change of heart in the story. Guinan has taken Geordi's advice and now stands at Hugh's cell, watching as the small drone just stands in the back of his cage. Thus begins the breakdown of her prejudice, at least toward Hugh. She's surprised when he doesn't tell her she will be assimilated and only says "Resistance is futile." after Guinan says it first. She tells Hugh the story of her people's fate at the hands of the Borg and is shocked almost speechless when Hugh not only understands that she is lonely but tells her he too is lonely. She was only able to stare at him in subtle awe as the racial barrier between them collapsed.
Guinan then confronts Picard, who lashes out at her for using Hugh's name and calling him a person, dehumanising him entirely when he yells "It's not a person, dammit, it's a Borg!", a stab to the heart of those viewers on Hugh's side. Guinan maintains her composure advising Picard to confront Hugh and see if his attitude is justified, as she thought hers was. She warns Picard that if he doesn't, he may find the decision to use Hugh as a weapon much harder to live with.
Now comes the change in Picard's attitude that I mentioned earlier. We see him in his ready room, steeling himself and setting his face before he signals he is ready and Worf beams into the room with Hugh, who is out of his cage for the first time but has the same look and demeanour he had when Guinan first saw him. After telling Worf to leave, the captain tries everything he can to get Hugh to do something that aligns with Picard's assumptions about him, even taking on his role as Locutus again. His plan backfires when he states that Geordi will be assimilated or die, triggering Hugh's rebellious outburst in defence of Geordi. Picard's last hope is shattered when Hugh abandons the typical Borg use of "we" and establishes himself as an individual stating that "I will not assist you." with Geordi's bogus assimilation. Picard is left in complete shock as all that he thought about the survivor is proven wrong, even stating "…you are Borg!" to which the drone answers "No. I am Hugh."
At last, Picard and the others have accepted as a friend someone who comes from a race they consider an enemy, even offering him a chance to stay with his new friends and giving Hugh the choice. Sadly, it doesn't always end this well in reality. Mexicans as a whole have been called criminals due to the actions of less than half of their population, which makes being a part of the community difficult for individuals, who can find themselves limited in where they can go in the community. They can feel trapped there, much like Hugh was trapped in a cage. Which is unfortunate, because the majority of them are just as appalled by the crimes of some of their own people as those who make the "Mexicans are criminals" claims. In middle and high schools, children of Middle Eastern descent are often teased and called terrorists simply because of their race. Like Hugh, they are often considered less than human, or not worthy of being called a person. The worst part is that there is often no Guinan to intervene on behalf of these children. Then there are all the cases of racial profiling. Police targeting a person as a suspect for a crime simply because they are black. While these black people aren't being condemned to death as Hugh was, the injustice is still the same.
In short, the moral of this episode is acceptance, tolerance, and the ages old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover". Picard learned this through his encounter with Hugh and even encourages Hugh to become the leader of the liberated Borg in a later episode.
This story of acceptance was especially relatable to me, being an asexual woman who is both visually impaired and high-functioning autistic. When I look around and see discrimination, even on the individual level, around me, it is quite saddening. But "I, Borg", like the rest of Star Trek, presents an optimistic outlook on humanity's future. It's a story of what I hope we someday achieve in real life. No, we may never be faced with something like the Borg, but there are already many "Hughs" in the world today, living outside people's assumptions and seeking acceptance from those around them. Hopefully, they will receive it, and those prejudiced assumptions will one day be permanently assimilated into the Collective of Outdated and Obsolete Ideas.

Micro Needling is an innovative aesthetic treatment used to improve the appearance of the skin by stimulating collagen production. Micro Needling is safe and effective for all skin types and results in reduced appearance of fine lines, scarring, and stretch marks. It can also improve uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation. Las Colinas Centre for Plastic Surgery in Irving offers Micro Needling treatments that deliver renewed, healthier-looking skin.
Automated Micro Needling uses a motorized micropen with 12 micro-needles that is gently pressed against the skin to deliver tiny, controlled injuries. This results in stimulated collagen and elastin production. Through increased amounts of collagen and elastin, the skin benefits in appearance, texture, tone and color. Micro Needling treatments not only create smoother, firmer skin but will also improve skin health. Typically, patients experience only mild redness following the treatment, which passes within a few days. Many notice immediate results with further improvement in the following months. Repeating the process several times per year and pairing it with a healthy skincare regimen can dramatically improve skin health and appearance.
Micro Needling at Las Colinas Centre for Plastic Surgery provides Dallas patients with a successful solution for improving skin appearance. We combine experienced procedure delivery with personalized post-treatment growth factors in order to provide even better results. Micro Needling involves relatively short procedure time, minimal discomfort, and minimal recovery downtime. Through Micro Needling, you can enjoy healthier, younger-looking skin with diminished appearance of fine lines, scars and wrinkles, along with improved aesthetic appearance.
At Las Colinas Plastic Surgery, our mission is to provide effective treatments that will overall improve the condition of your skin. Contact us today for a free consultation with Dr. Whetstone's experienced medical esthetician to determine if your skin can benefit from our revitalizing Dallas Micro Needling treatments.
I was a little nervous about what I had heard was a vampire facial. Dr. Whetstone has an esthetician who explained the procedure and its long term benefits. I could tell she was very experienced and I trusted her judgment on what treatment would be best for me. I have been very pleased with my results and will continue to do the micro-needling.– Patient Testimonial

Your mission, should you choose to accept it…
A bad breakup. We've all been there. The kind of split that involves tears, beer, and an inflated sense of self-importance. The kind where a change of clothes loses its meaning. The kind whose only cure is a good breakup song. So, what's your drug, er album of choice?
So, who's takin' on the challenge, Ethan Hunt style, this week? Drum roll, please…it's…staffers Alyssa, Will, and Leah!
Alyssa picks All Day – Girl Talk
"The best way to get over a bad breakup is with some bold dance moves and profuse booty shakin'. Start here."
Will picks Dude Ranch – Blink-182
"I'll let the lyrics do the talking."
Pathetic – "There's no more waiting and sure no more wasting. I've done all I can but she still wants to be left alone."
Dammit – "And it's happened once again. I'll turn to a friend. Someone that understands, sees through the master plan. Well I guess this is growing up."
Apple Shampoo – "It isn't exciting reciting the stories. Of kind words turned hurting when routine get boring…The start was something good. But some good things must end."
Josie – "I know that everything's gonna be fine."
I'm Sorry – "And I know it hurts. But you're just getting older. And I know you'll win. You'll do it once again."
Leah picks The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most – Dashboard Confessional
"Raw emotion. Chris Carrabba's lyrics may border on the clichéd and melodramatic, but if you're in the midst of a breakup, it feels like he's perfectly articulating each awful feeling you have. The best pick for curling up in bed and bawling your eyes out."

City Hall photo exhibition on women at work
City Hall puts focus on women
City Hall isn't just a place to get married or lobby for property tax reductions. It's a place to view important photojournalism. This summer, the gold-domed hall is presenting a free, juried photo exhibition called "Picturing Power and Potential," presented by San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery and the International Museum of Women as part of the museum's "Economica: Women and the Global Economy project."
Twenty photographers from around the world have been selected for their images of women at work: from the United States, Anne Hamersky, Jennifer Samuel, Joanna Lipper, Margaret Silverman, Mark Tuschman, Brenda Paik Sunoo, Dana Whitaker, Elizabeth Colton, Michelle McCarron and Rocio Russo; from India, Pattabi Raman, Samyukta Lakshmi and Selvaprakash Lakshmanan; Ariko Inaoka from Japan; Alex Kamweru from Kenya; Isabela Senatore from Brazil; Mathilde Jansen from The Netherlands; Mehran Afshar Naderi from Iran; Miranda Mimi Kuo-Deemer from China; and Sanaz Mazinani from Canada. The show, which is up through Aug. 27, ranges in subject matter from teen community leaders in Richmond and entrepreneurs in Ghana to opera singers in Brazil and seaweed farmers in Zanzibar.
Filmmaker Joanna Lipper took the photos of the seaweed farmers to underscore the importance of women in this little-known industry. Seaweed, it turns out, is big business. Its import and export brings in $200 billion annually, with the United States importing nearly $50 billion a year for the algae extracts that are used in everything from processed dairy to cosmetics, toothpaste, air fresheners and fertilizers.
"In Zanzibar, seaweed farming is a sustainable form of aquaculture and a rare source of cash income for Muslim women in rural villages," explains Lipper. "Dependent on a limited pool of brokers who have a monopoly on export, women seaweed farmers are routinely exploited. As Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn have noted, 'in many poor countries, the greatest unexploited resource isn't oil fields or veins of gold; it is the women and girls who aren't educated and never become a major presence in the formal economy.' "
Feed senses, too, on lunch break
There are two interesting free events happening at Yerba Buena Gardens in downtown San Francisco. Today from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., John L. Worley Jr.'s WorlView ensemble will serenade your lunch. Expect a sound that touches all corners of the Americas, from bebop, R&B, jazz and tango to Afro-Cuban dance music and explosive funk. Worley plays trumpet and flugelhorn and also juggles jobs as a composer, jazz educator and owner of Dancing Sumo Records. His sextet is just as musically and vocationally promiscuous. It includes Wayne Wallace on the trombone, Kristen Strom on woodwinds, Murray Low on piano, Paul Van Wageningen on drums and John Hettel on bass.
For 20-minute periods three times Saturday afternoon (1-1:20, 1:50-2:10 and 2:40-3 p.m.), Axis Dance Company will present a site-specific work inspired by the "beautiful urban environment" of Yerba Buena Gardens, choreographed by Axis Associate Director Sonsheree Giles. But probably more visually interesting than the patch of grass and concrete surrounded by SoMa high-rises will be the corps of dancers with and without physical disabilities utilizing the ramps and various spaces. An ensemble of musicians will perform pieces composed by Caroline Penwarden. Expect to see wheelchairs used like never before.
Noted ladies' man at 200
Some facts about Robert Schumann on the occasion of his 200th birthday: The arch-Romantic German composer was as enthralled by women as he was by music. In his younger years, he was known to become infatuated with every pretty woman he encountered. Immensely prolific, he wrote 168 songs in 1840 alone, many for his lover Clara Wieck, whom he married.
Schumann would have been happy to know that his 200th birthday celebration concert in San Francisco will be led by four exceptionally talented female musicians. Friday at 8 p.m., pianist Makiko Ooka, violinist Fumino Ando, violist Caroline Lee and cellist Sarah Hong will perform Schumann's "Adagio and Allegro," Piano Quartet in E-Flat, Op. 47 and other works at Old First Church (1751 Sacramento St.) as part of the Old First Concert series.
Mexican sci-fi
It's not particularly surprising that sci-fi film's origins are in the United States, not Mexico. But since the 1950s, the country on our southern border has created some exceptionally entertaining and culturally revealing futuristic narratives. There have been stories of a robot in mortal battle with an Aztec mummy, a masked wrestler repelling an invasion from Mars, Venusian babes in bathing suits falling for a cowboy from Chihuahua and other tales featuring heavy use of ray guns, spandex space suits and trashcan robots.
Tonight through Sunday, Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley is offering a selection of sci-fi classics from Mexico. The "deranged blend of American sci-fi tropes and Mexican pop mythology" includes: Rogelio A. González's 1959 "The Ship of Monsters" (7:30 p.m. today); Rafael Portillo's 1957 "The Aztec Mummy vs. the Human Robot" (6 p.m. Saturday); Alfredo B. Crevenna's 1966 "Santo vs. the Martian Invasion" (8:35 p.m. Saturday); and Crevenna's 1966 "Planet of the Female Invaders" (7:10 p.m. Sunday) in which female aliens harvest human lungs. Take that, James Cameron.
McGegan honored
Nicholas McGegan, musical director of Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, has been made an Officer of the British Empire "for services to music overseas," as part of Queen Elizabeth's annual June 12 birthday honors. The music overseas part means us. McGegan was born in England and educated at Cambridge and Oxford, although he has become fairly California-ized during his 25-year tenure at Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. The Philharmonia has been on a roll lately, thanks largely to McGegan. In addition to its successful collaboration with the Mark Morris Dance Company and its European tour, the Philharmonia recently was named "Ensemble of the Year" by Musical America.

Hope You Have Comfy Shoes
I was driving down the street today and saw a guy standing on the side of the road in a bright blue polo shirt and khaki shorts. He was standing right on the edge of the street, near the curb. He was staring in the direction of the traffic flow. Weird! At first I thought he was waiting for a bus, but why would he be staring the wrong way? Did he have eyes in the back of his head? Upon further observation I noticed he was nowhere near a bus stop. Nor was he remotely close to any corner. He just stood there looking lost along a barren stretch of dirt and concrete. That's when I noticed it. Two cars ahead of me bright brake lights slammed on. A dingy old red car darted from the curbside across two lanes of traffic to make a U-turn. I passed the car. I passed her. She was crying her eyes out. Now the mystery was solved...or was it? Now I had an answer as to why this guy was looking so forlorn. The blurry eyed maniacal driver had kicked his ass out of the car. I'm assuming it was an abrupt stop too seeing as though we were nowhere near an intersection, driveway, anything that would have made for a smooth exit. I imagined a bunch of "I fucking hate you"'s and "I can't believe you called me fat. Get the fuck out"'s. Or "No! I will never let you put it in my ass you pig gettouta my car!" Sadly, I will never know their drama. I'm sure what I've conjured up in my head is a more entertaining story anyhow.

Umbra Snaps
|Ever seen these little guys?
|I just came across these and thought they looked pretty cool. They're called Snap Frames from Umbra and they house your photos in a quirky little polaroid frame. Here you can see they give your wall a 'pin board' effect – great for livening up little spaces in your home or work place.
Why just limit them to your wall though? Maybe your like me - I hate boring draws! Plop a few on your draws and make reaching for your socks in the morning a little more inspiring! There frames are a dry wipe plastic surface so you can personalise each snap with your own little comments. But with all this excitement on your draws it's easy to forget what's actually in them! Here's a solution for all you trendy organised types...polaroid draw labels! OK maybe that's a little too far, but I'm sure if you put your mind to it you could do something exciting with them.
|Some very non-boring draws!
|Over-organised draws? Maybe.
Another thing I tried with them was to hang them, not from the wall, but from the ceiling. Give your snaps a look of suspended animation, Matrix style! Make sure you use thin wire, or 1950s Sci Fi comes to mind! I bet a whole ceiling full of these would look pretty cool.
They may not be to everyone's taste though and as with most things, they do have their downfalls. To look at them they are a cheap and cheerful way to showcase your snaps, but at £27.50 rrp they're not so cheap! The size photo it holds is a little awkward too. They house 3.5 x 3.5 inch photos and I'm yet to find somewhere that will print that size. If you're passionate about photos, then you're probably not too fussed about trimming your pics down to size - anything for the photo liberation cause! But this does mean that if you're using Hipstamatic pics, you're going to loose the boarders...not cool!
All in all they're a nice (slightly kitsch) way to showcase your life in photos...everyone loves polaroids!

Conflict-Free Case Management
If you have a family member who receives services through the Developmental Service System of Area Agencies you may have you heard about the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) that NH is under, related to the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS).
The three 1915 (c) waivers affected by this CAP are Developmental Services, Acquired Brain Disorder, and Children's In-Home Services.
The compliance issues addressed in the CAP focus on conflict of interest between case management and direct service delivery; and compliance with Medicaid billing rules, which allow providers to bill directly to the State.

Ministry calls for votes for Ha Long Bay1/1/1900
The Foreign Ministry has called to vote Ha Long Bay as one of new world wonders at www.new7wonders.com/
The Director of the External Cultural and UNESCO Department under the ministry, Pham Sanh Chau, asked overseas Vietnamese and foreign friends to support Ha Long Bay at a campaign launch in Hanoi on April 16.
Ha Long Bay is officially a contender in the second phase of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. The votes by the diplomats, overseas Vietnamese and foreign friends will help Ha Long Bay enter the third round of the selection, Chau said.
The voting for seven new world wonders on the Website www.new7wonders.com , launched by the NewOpenWorld, has entered the second phase, lasting from January 7 to July 7, 2009, where 261 sites of seven groups will vie to make it to the top 77.
By April 15, Ha Long Bay was placed third out of 25 sites in group G of sea sights.
Recently, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, Kumho group and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism have opened a showroom at the Hanoi Daewoo Hotel to promote the image of Ha Long Bay in support of its race to become one of seven new world wonders.

The use of knots and ropes is a skill that if not properly understood and performed, can result in serious injury or death under the right circumstances.
There are many purposes or applications for knots, therefore certain qualities were sought after to meet the requirements of the task at hand. Many knots have been invented as a result, and I'll list some of the qualities that were sought after, and there are many more.
1. Safety
2. Ease of use such as being able to easily untie a knot that was under tension.
3. Strength of the knot. It must not slip when under strain.
4. Aesthetics. This isn't important in a survival situation of course.
5. Joining ropes, including ropes of different diameters.
6. Quick Release knots such as the Mooring Hitch.
I'll list some popular knots here below that can be used in a survival situation.
1. Bowline (in the photo above). Have a look at the Bowline on a Bite to.
2. Prusik. Have a look at the Klemheist to.
3. Clove Hitch. Have a look at the Constrictor knot to.
4. The Alpine Butterfly (photo below)
5. Double Overhand and Figure-8 Stopper Knots
6. The Mooring Hitch. It is a quick release knot and is good for more than mooring a boat to a dock.
I'll quote a portion of a paragraph from the Modern Cordage page. "Never unnecessarily cut a rope, and be aware that knots can weaken the rope by 50% of the rated strength, up to 80% with other ropes and knots"
Remember that the type of material used in the construction of the rope among other factors, will have an effect on the resulting quality of the knot.
There are different strengths and weaknesses with various knots. Not all ropes are suited for every knot. I the photo above you see The Alpine Butterfly knot.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of things that ropes can be used for. Of course different diameters have their benefits as well.
1. Shelter construction, such as lashings and tie points to hold a tarp up etc.
2. Climbing. Be certain to be properly trained for this as it involves specialized techniques and equipment.
3. Repairing clothing, or even making a belt for your pants or to hold a poncho around your waist.
4. Lanyards for knives, whistles and other very important items.
5. Fishing line and fishing nets.
6. Traps and snares for hunting.
7. Replacing shoe or boot laces.
8. Making a bow drill.
This page gives some general information on the subject of knots. Do some more research to learn more, because it is good to know some knots for the reasons mentioned above, such as safety etc.
Here are some links to help you learn more about knots.
Have a look at the Videos page as well for more information on the subject.

Three types of emerging innovators in China are making it increasingly difficult for Western multinationals to compete.
In recent years, a handful of Chinese companies have emerged as global innovators and have garnered a lot of attention. This group includes online retail giant Alibaba, appliance maker Haier, search and data technology provider Baidu, and Tencent, the social communication and gaming ecosystem. These companies are challenging the R&D strategies of foreign companies to keep up with the pace in China,1 and they are providing valuable lessons on how to make ideas commercially viable.2 But there's another, less obvious force to be reckoned with in China as well: thousands of innovative companies that are quietly disrupting numerous industries, overtaking incumbents, and developing new products and new business models. For a variety of reasons we'll discuss here, these emerging innovators are not easy to identify — yet they pose real threats, often in unexpected places.
For example, Royole, a Shenzhen-based startup that develops electronic products capable of bending and folding, has entered the automotive market with a superthin flexible display that can serve as the interface of a car's dashboard. Backed by an abundance of venture capital, Royole has also introduced the world's first bendable smartphone, which can be folded like a wallet.3
By expanding the distribution of their products, some established companies are also catching multinationals off guard. One such company is Jiangsu Dongcheng M&E Tools, a manufacturer of power hand tools. In the early 2000s, Dongcheng operated at the low end of the local market and was not seen as a serious rival to name-brand competitors like Bosch and Stanley Black & Decker. However, today it is China's best-selling power-tool brand, outselling Stanley Black & Decker 10 to 1 there, and it is competitive in markets all over the world.
Over the past decade, we interviewed hundreds of executives, entrepreneurs, and investors in China and studied more than 200 Chinese companies. Our goal was to understand how innovation is being practiced in China and how it is changing. We identified three types of Chinese innovators, each of which presents a different set of challenges for competitors. We refer to them as hidden champions, tech underdogs, and change makers. (See "About the Research," and "Three Types of Emerging Chinese Innovators.�

GIS Day '99
GIS is used in numerous fields ranging from health care to crime, to the environment. It provides tools that are used to evaluate systems in a holistic way rather than focusing on only one aspect of an area such as the geology, biology, or meteorology. The National Geographic Society, the Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI), and the Association of American Geographers sponsor GIS Day.
As a GIS Day '99 volunteer, Barb Seekins (WHFC) displayed her poster entitled "GIS Applied to Shoreline Change Analysis," which was viewed by students and state house visitors. She also worked with students educating them about Geographic Information Systems and mapping.
The school groups were from the New England School for the Deaf in Randolph, Essex Agricultural and Technology High School in Danvers, and Daley Middle School in Lowell. The group from Danvers was the most knowledgeable about GIS. Their school is starting a Marine Science Program and they are engaged in a wetlands mapping project. They were quite interested in hearing about GIS applications in marine and coastal work.

YAY!! Happy wedding day on FRIDAY to sweet Nicole! She shares so much wisdom and a beautiful perspective on dating, engagement and preparing for marriage on her blog - I encourage you ladies to read her heart, especially if you are in a season of almost-wife-hood :)
Oh my, Spring time! Every girl knows their favorite part about springtime is wearing those darn cute sun dresses and FINALLY being able to show off those painted toe nails. Every girl also knows their least favorite thing about springtime is having to shave their legs. Come on, I know I'm not alone in "don't shave your legs during the winter because no one sees them" trend. However, despite the hassle of razor bumps, Spring time is probably my most favorite time of the year. You aren't almost dead of heat stroke from summer, you aren't at an ends on how to stretch your summer clothing into Fall weather because you don't want to stop wearing those shorts, and you aren't freezing your bum off in the winter. Springtime is the perfect weather time. I welcome it with my pale scrony arms.
Rain, flowers, freshly budding tress, tiny green leaves, babies, the newness and freshness of life are all my favorite little parts of spring. However, they are my favorite parts of spring in Washington State where I was born and raised. As I am approaching my first spring in my new home, Florida, I don't know what to expect. Flowers bloom year round, it rains often, the sun is out even more often, leaves are constantly budding and dying...maybe there will be baby birds still. Or maybe the birds will fly back north to have their babies. I don't know? So I guess I'm excited to see what spring is like in Florida.
