JS 137, (1): Collaborative Response to Family Violence
Mondays 4:30 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.
Course Description
This 3-unit course, offered through the Justice Studies Department, is available to students across majors, providing a foundation for working collaboratively across disciplines to provide a more effective response to family violence. This course welcomes all upper-division undergrads and masters degree students interested in this area of service and study.
This course has been redesigned to engage and stimulate student's mastery of family violence issues and interdisciplinary collaboration to improve community response. The new course structure incorporates active participation by students, case study analysis, and interdisciplinary discussions with community professionals.
Students are invited to participate in the larger Institute for Collaborative Response that further provides opportunities for specialized internships, field experience and community-based projects.
Student Learning Objectives
Students successfully completing this course will be able to:
- Recognize the scope of family violence, issues faced by victims and how these may manifest across cultures and diverse ethnic identities.
- Demonstrate an understanding of multi-disciplinary strategies and how coordination of these strategies improves services for individuals and families impacted by family violence.
- Analyze collaboration in local organizations and service delivery systems.
- Demonstrate insight, awareness and skills related to one's own capacity to contribute effectively to interdisciplinary collaboration.
* Check with your department/school to see if the Collaborative Response to Family Violence Class (JS 137, 1) meets degree requirements

Dickov: City stronger than anyone
Paul Dickov believes former club Manchester City now have the squad strength to beat anyone in England, in any competition.
The ex-Scottish striker was speaking after the Citizens' 1-0 win over Arsenal in the League Cup quarter-final, with Roberto Mancini playing his 'fringe' players in the victory at the Emirates Stadium.
With Sergio Aguero available to come off the bench and score the winner for the visitors, City had more firepower at their disposal in comparison to the Gunners, who rested Robin Van Persie in the competition, and Dickov believes it's a sign of things to come.
"I thought Arsenal were possibly the better team last night against Man City," he told talkSPORT.
"But when you look at the size of the squad, they are able to change things. Man City can put out a team that will go out there and beat any team in the league, no matter what competition it's in."
Whilst goals appeared to be the problem for City following Mancini's arrival at the Etihad Stadium, Dickov believes attack is now the strongest part of his former side's armoury.
Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli are all at the disposal of the manager, whilst Carlos Tevez remains on the books despite his differences with the club's management. With such a talented front-line, scoring is not going to be a problem in the title race this term.
"With the players they've got, and no matter who plays ,they are always going to score," added Dickov.
"When Roberto [Mancini] first went in there people were talking about his Italian style and how defensive he was, and 18 months ago they weren't scoring the goals they should [have been] and they were a bit negative.
"He's gone in there, stripped them down to the basics, got them defending properly so that now when anyone goes into the defence, they look solid. They believe they will score every game."News Now - Sport News

These water-resistant crayons are soft and easy to work with. They feature exceptional covering power, excellent lightfastness, and are great for underpainting. Their hardness allows them to be sharpened more easily for detail and edge work.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.
organic, monoazo
This Hansa yellow is a transparent yellow. It has great brightness and tinting strength and its drying time ranges from average to slow.
Hansa Yellow makes more intense tints and cleaner secondaries than Cadmium Yellows, especially when mixed with other organic or modern colors like Phthalo Blue and Green. Because they are more transparent, they have great value as glazing colors.
This Hansa Yellow has fair to good permanence, particularly in the lighter shades.
Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.
Arylamide Yellow, Arylide, Arylide Yellow, Azo, Brilliant Yellow, Monoazo, Monolite Yellow, Permanent Yellow.
Pigment Orange PO13 is a yellowish orange with high tinting strength.
Pigment Orange PO13 has good lightfastness when used at full strength, but it may fade in tints. It is often replaced by PO61, which has lower tinting strength, but better lightfastness.
Pigment Orange PO13 is used in inks, textiles, paints, plastics, and rubber.
mix of organic pigments
Hooker's Green is a bright olive-green often sold in a yellowish shade and a bluish shade. Its transparency can range from dull and dark to bright and light because lightness and chroma vary based on manufacturer. Modern varieties have a rich, dark tone that provides a great range when mixing. Hooker's Green is particularly good for landscape painting when a larger range of foliage is required. Dioxazine Violet is the best mixing compliment in watercolor form.
The permanence and lightfastness of Hooker's Green varies by brand. As a composite pigment historically mixed from Prussian Blue and Gamboge, its permanence is only fair. Modern replacements for Hooker's Green tend to be mixed with components that have more permanence, such as Phthalocyanine Green, Burnt Umber, and sometimes Hansa or Cobalt Yellow.
Hooker's Green can be hazardous, but the toxicity level depends on the specific pigments used by each individual manufacturer or brand.
This pigment was originally an unreliable mix of Prussian or Iron Blue and Gamboge. Later, it became a more reliable mix of Cadmium Yellow and Phthalo Blue or Green. It was a staple green for 19th century landscape and botanical painters. Most modern Hooker's Green paints are yellow greens with a hue angle around 140, or a mix of Phthalo Green and Burnt Umber.
Lamp black is a very opaque, heavily staining black pigment that does not have much covering or tinting power. It is typically the most opaque black in watercolor form. Though a very pure black, it tends to muddy slightly in mixtures. Natural sources may be brownish or bluish in tone because of impurities. When used in oil paints, it is one of the slowest drying pigments, and should not be used in underpainting or applied in layers underneath other colors.
Lamp Black is very lightfast and absolutely permanent. It is used in all techniques in permanent painting.
Carbon itself is not considered hazardous, however other combustion products that are hazardous are often present as impurities when Lamp Black is produced from natural materials. For this reason, commercial preparations of the pigment should be considered slightly toxic. Avoid skin contact and inhalation. Where such impurities are present, Lamp Black is a possible human carcinogen.
Lamp Black is a carbon based black traditionally produced by collecting soot (known as lampblack) from oil lamps. It has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times. It is the black found in Egyptian murals and tomb decorations and was the most popular black for fresco painting until the development of Mars Black.
Carbon Black, Channel Black, Furnace Black, Oil Black, Vegetable Black. Flame Black is an impure version of Lamp Black. An alternate spelling is Lampblack, in which the first syllable is stressed and the two words are elided to form a closed compound.

Nutrisystem Coupons That Work
Did you have plateaus like this? In fact, I have to remind myself to get everything in. By the third week, I was feeling excellent. The results are going to be different for everyone, but if you have 20, 30 lbs, or more to lose, then I would expect to be on the diet for at least two months. Either way, appreciate all of the details you shared. I weighed when I graduated.
They offered awesome coupons. All you have to do is to join the mailing list. And the best thing is, the food tastes good. In my case, it was kinda awkward to get used to at the beginning because of the cravings. I felt like I needed my dose of junk food, but I was determined. At the second week, the cravings were gone. By the third week, I was feeling excellent. So good in fact, that I decided to reunite with a very old friend of mine: For some reason, I was feeling full of energy and the bicycle was a great exercise option.
I started riding during the weekends. Then, by the end of the fourth week, I had a look at my weight. I had lost 9 pounds. I was getting close to my goal, and I could feel it. I started to feel better, healthier somehow. I decided that I would not stop. I needed to keep going. A few months lather, I reached a healthy weight.
I started riding the bicycle to my job and back. I felt born again. Everyone has a body that works in an unique way. What works for some is not as good for others. What Nutrisystem proposes is to come back to a balance, an equilibrium between what we eat and the activity we do in our daily lives. A balance in what we do, and what we need.
I am planning to start Nutrisystem after the New Year. Hi Erin — Thanks so much for the positive feedback. The first time I ever used Nutrisytem, which was many years ago at this point, I think I was one it for 4 months.
I had a lot more weight to lose then; now when I sign up, I usually use it for a month, maybe two at the most. To lock in the auto delivery deal, you have to commit to two months, so if you hit your weight loss goals after month 1, I recommend switching your order to just the Turbo Shakes — that will ensure you lock in the most savings, and also helps to keep you on track once you start transitioning off the program.
As I have said before, you have to be committed to the program to get results, but as long as you follow their plan you will lose weight! Anyways, best of luck and please let us know how it goes: Thanks for sharing your story. Drinking over ounces and eating tons of leafy greens. I did NS about 4 years ago lost almost This past July was told my chloerstral and blood pressure was too high for 28 year old.
So black Friday I ordered when prices decreased. Hi Amanda — Thanks for visiting and reading my story. Hope it goes as well this time around.
Thanks for sharing your superb review. You have a lot of good info here. I am looking for a diet to try just after the new year, and this might be the one. Either way, appreciate all of the details you shared. Thanks, just what I was looking for. I have about 20 pounds to lose — is this doable in a month or two? Hi Sam — Thanks for the positive feedback. Losing 20 pounds is definitely doable with Nutrisystem, but I would budget at least two months.
I signed up for Nutrisystem this week, and I am really hoping that I have the same results. I think my first shipment should arrive just before Christmas, so think I will get started right after the holiday. Thanks so much for the review — definitely gives me hope!
Hi Kris — congrats on signing up — while results will vary for everyone, I truly believe that you will lose a lot of weight if you follow the program — so stick with it, and let us know how it goes. They try to rip you off when quit their auto delivery program. Very very unpleasant people to deal with. They shipped me stuff 3 days after I had already cancelled and had a confirmation number stating I cancelled.
They refused to turn the shipment around or to take it back and are trying to create some kind of lie that I created a 2nd account in November and they only cancelled one account. The only thing I did in November was update my credit card expiration date which I regret. If I guaranteed no more shipments are coming to my name or my address that should be the end of the story, not with them! I am fighting them through my credit card company but please be aware of whatever traps they have in store for any of you.
Hi Troy — Sorry to hear that that was your experience. It was actually a customer service rep who told me I could switch from the meal delivery to just the Turbo Shakes after my first month on the program to lock in the auto-delivery savings without having to commit to another month of food.
In any case, I hope you are able to get things resolved! I started the program today, January 1st. My resolution is to feel better about myself, but do it in a healthy way that had structure. How much and when I should be eating vegetables, and ideas on what to eat if you have to attend a social function or business based meeting that involves food.
Thanks for posting a well written, and information overview of this program. I have three questions and maybe one is a question for a NS counselor… 1.
Or can tomatoes, cukes, etc. Also, plain or with some sort of dressing? How many turbo shakes can you have per week… and when can they be consumed?
Thanks in advance …. Hi Tami — Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment! I always add extra veggies to my greens and have found the only thing you really need to watch out for is the salad dressing.
But for me, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. I usually have my TurboShake midday — around 2: That said, I would definitely suggest using the Nutrisystem counseling service for full clarification, though — especially for questions 2 and 3.
Best of luck if you decide to try the full program! I wanted to say that this article is nicely written and included almost all the vital info I needed. Thanks for the review. I second your recommendation for Nutrisystem. Their service helped me significantly a few years ago. Hoping for the same results! Hi Maria — thanks for commenting! Hope it goes well again if you decide to give it another try. Have you found that Nutrisystem is a good way for keeping the weight off over the long term?
How long do you really have to be on Nutrisystem before you starting seeing results? Just finished month 1 and lost about 9 pounds! This post could not be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my good old room mate!
He was always trying new weight loss products. I will forward this page to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing! I just read this well written post.
I have a handicapped daughter who has gained so much weight. We have tried everything with very little success. After taking to her doctors we decided to give NS a try. She started the program on February 16, She is loving the food and the program. She has already dropped three pounds. Her beginning weight was So she has a long way to go. But the support and your post will definitely help her obtain her goals for healthier lifestyle.
We will keep you informed on her progress. Thank you so much. Hi Shirley — What an inspirational story — really hoping she has success! Thanks for keeping us posted, and wishing your daughter all the best. I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!! I have been on Nutrisystem for about 5 weeks now. I lost 15 pounds the first month and have been following it to a T.
The food tastes fine and it is very easy to just grab something pop it in the microwave if necessary and go. I have been using My Fitness Pal to track my food and am eating about calories a day. The first week was really tough and I had a hard time, but I stuck to it. Now I m satisfied and use to it. Planning on finishing up the second month and then on the 3rd month working in more home cooked meals and tracking to stay at the same calorie level.
Then will switch over to the auto ship of Turbo shakes for my 4th month. I have about 40 pounds to lose and feel like I am making some good headway with the Nutrisystem plan. Good job on the review, very well written.
Wow, nice job Carolyn! Thanks for sharing your story, and best of luck with the rest of your diet. I was very happy to find this website. Just wanted to thank for your time for this wonderful read, and inspirational review!! Hi Kelly — sorry to hear that! Have you tried connecting with the Nutrisystem counseling service? We had to take Nutrisystem program for 8 weeks because we got it at a discount thru our insurance company.
My goal was to loose 30 lbs. At the end of the 8 weeks I had lost only 3 lbs. We did not care for the cardboard like food and did not get anywhere close to our goals. This program obviously works for lots of folks, but not for us. We did go to the Naturally Slim program and in 8 weeks I lost Naturally Slim is based on not what you eat but when and how you eat and you eat your own real food and got real results.
We will stay with our new habits learned with Naturally Slim and will not have any good words from our Nutrisystem experience. Hi John — thanks for sharing your experience. Thanks so much for sharing your story. It was encouraging and helpful. I am only on my second day of Lean 13 and after comparing the Turbo Shakes with the protein powder I was using before, I noticed that mine was lower in calories, fat, sugar, and carbs and higher in protein by quite a lot. Thanks again for your review!
Hi Peggy — I think you should be fine using your own protein shake. Just to be safe you may want to talk to a Nutrisystem counselor, and they can let you know for sure. The biggest issue would probably be the calorie count of your shake vs. Best of luck with your two weeks. I made some raspberry coffee and chilled it. Thought that might be a nice tip for someone else. Just finished day 1 of the Turbo Takeoff… I was down 2 lbs this morning!!!
Yay… only 58 more lbs to go!!! I am so determined and my mind is in the right place to really do this, this time.. I am very excited for the results.. I know i will be on the program for a few months but, I really feel like I need the structure of this program right now. I have been feeling a lot of emotions from having gone through breast cancer and several surgeries the last 3 years… I just kinda let myself go… but, I am so ready for this change!!!
Thanks for sharing, Lynn! Best of luck with reaching your goals! Very thorough review…thanks for making the decision easier!
I just signed up for my first order. Went with the Core, and really hoping to least a good 20 pounds. Just finished month 1. Does this stuff really work? Thanks for the comment, Heather…It definitely works when you follow the program correctly. Best of luck if you decide to try it! First, take the time to put the food on a plate like you would normally eat.
Focus on the journey. Take the time to praise yourself for the positive change. I started on Nutrisystem exactly 2 months ago with a week lapse. I only wish I had started months before. Question first great info as I really need something kind of no Brainerd and ready. How long in your experience would you say orders take to turn around? I am currently out of town but want to have the product arrive day if or day after returning so I can hit the ground running.
Thanks ahead for any info. Hi Deb — Thanks for visiting. If I remember correctly, the last time I ordered it only took 3 or 4 days to get my shipment. Thanks for the review! This was helpful in determining which program to start!
I also appreciate your thoroughness and videos. I hope to get fit during my weight loss journey and obtain my goal by next year. Hi Rose — Glad you liked it, and best of luck with your weight loss journey! Is it possible to melt away one to two pounds of stubborn body fat every single day? It sounds insane, but according to the scientific proof — and the thousands who have already done it themselves using this secret — the answer is YES.
I have tried every diet on the market. This was my last resort. In fact, I have to remind myself to get everything in. My doctor is on the program, her husband and son! Notify me of new posts by email. Leave this field empty. How I Lost 30 Pounds 1.

Berezniki, the Russian city where a giant sinkhole formed above an OAO Uralkali potash mine in 2006, is moving a small number of people to new homes after detecting signs of increasing subsidence.
The residents of as many as 11 houses will be relocated this week after measurements showed an increase in the speed of surface subsidence near their homes in July, the city administration said on its website. There is a risk of a sinkhole forming next year should the pace of soil movements continue at current levels of almost 5.1 inches a month, the city said, citing scientists.
A 500-meter wide sinkhole opened above Uralkali's Mine 1 eight years ago after water poured into the production site, about 1,600 kilometers east of Moscow. It swallowed part of a railway line and forced Uralkali, the world's largest potash producer, to write off about 5 percent of its mineral reserves.
PEDv Update, One Year After Outbreak
Although the mine has been shut down, that hasn't stopped smaller sinkholes from appearing, and each street in Berezniki is under constant camera surveillance for signs of collapse. The latest sinkhole in the city appeared in 2011.
Authorities are moving residents after the latest evaluation by the Mining Institute within the Russian Academy of Sciences' Urals branch and scientists at the Galurgiya Institute.
New Suburb
It is possible that the situation will improve and remove the risk of a sinkhole, Alexander Baryakh, the Mining Institute's director, said yesterday in interview with the city's Bereznikovskiy Rabochiy newspaper.
No other dangerous areas at risk of new sinkholes have been identified in the city, he said. Baryakh couldn't be reached today at his office in Perm. Uralkali's press service declined to comment.
Berezniki began as a labor camp, built directly above the mine Uralkali established in the 1930s. That quirk of Soviet-era urban planning is now prompting a 7.5 billion ruble ($208 million) response from the company and the government of the Perm region as it prepares to move 12,000 people to specially built homes in a new suburb by 2017. Uralkali has agreed to invest 2.5 billion rubles in the program.

We already pretty much worship celebrities, so maybe it's time we go all in and actually start praying to them. These awesome celebrity saint candles from IdolKill are an excellent way to get started. Next time you're facing a challenge, just light the Virgin Gaga or Amy of Guadalupe candle and say a prayer, and you'll get the guidance you seek. Not bad for just $10 a piece. Do watch out for Saint Nicki, though, she looks like a little wild and like she might lead you down the wrong spiritual path.

The first batch of downloadable Sega Genesis games for the PC has hit Steam, giving gamers a new way to spend $2.99 apiece on games like Ecco the Dolphin, Vectorman, and Sonic 3D Blast.
Why worry about the ambiguous moral and legal issues surrounding emulation when you can just buy Sega Genesis titles for your PC? The first batch of Sega Genesis Classics is now available on Steam, with $2.99 scoring players legitimate copies of a number of games previously available only through the dozens of game compilations Sega has released over the past decade.
For those who prefer those compilations, Steam is also offering up the Sega Classics pack, featuring Comix Zone, Crack Down, Ecco the Dolphin, Gain Ground, Golden Axe, Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master, Sonic 3D Blast, Space Harrier II, Vectorman, Altered Beast, and Shadow Dancer, all for $34.99.
I'm very interested to see how these things sell. Can Sega get players to pay for these? Will you pay for these?
Thanks to Jim for reminding us these were coming.

Is the tea party breaking up?
After playing a dominant role in a number of elections in 2010 — Christine O'Donnell, anyone? — there is growing evidence that the power (and visibility) of the movement has faded somewhat of late.
To wit:
●Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the establishment candidate, secured the Republican presidential nomination after the tea party — and conservatives more generally — failed to unite around an alternative candidate.
●Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) very nearly escaped a primary challenge Saturday, almost two years that home-state colleague Bob Bennett was ousted at the state party convention thanks to tea party-fueled unrest directed at him. Hatch begins the primary race against a conservative former state senator as a favorite.
●Aside from Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar, who faces a serious primary fight from his ideological right next month, there are few signs tea party-led uprisings will threaten GOP incumbents this cycle in the same way they did in 2010. (Even Indiana is something short of a pure establishment vs. tea party race; Lugar's challenger, Richard Mourdock, currently serves as the state treasurer — not exactly the credentials of a pure outsider.)
●In a Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted this month, more than six in 10 people said they were not interested in learning more about the movement, and a majority said the more they learned, the less they liked. Both of those numbers have increased significantly over the past two years.
Conversations with a number of Republican strategists — both those of the tea party and those who count themselves as casual observers of the movement — suggest that the tea party isn't dying, it's just transforming into a new role.
"The tea party clearly is not as successful in 2012 as in 2010, but it still plays a huge role in GOP primaries," said Republican pollster Glen Bolger.
The same Post-ABC poll that showed interest in the tea party flagging also showed that roughly four in 10 people described themselves as supporters of the movement, numbers virtually unchanged over the last year.
Sal Russo, a co-founder of the Tea Party Express, insisted that "the tea party is more vibrant now than in 2010." The difference between now and two years ago, Russo argued, is that the movement is now centered less on pure protest and more on political action.
"Instead of the pleading about what to do, the tea party people now know what to do," Russo said. "Campaign headquarters are bubbling over with people, very different than 2008 and 2006 when they were nearly dead."
Of course, attributing Republican energy and intensity solely to the tea party is a bit of an oversimplification. While the tea party clearly served as an organizing force for unhappiness bubbling in conservative circles toward President Obama in the early days of his presidency, the desire to oust him from office now permeates virtually every corner of the GOP — a fact made apparent by the rapid coalescing of Republicans behind Romney in the past few weeks. (A Gallup tracking poll released last week showed Romney with the support of 90 percent of self-identified Republicans.)
Viewed broadly, it appears that the tea party may well be a victim of its own success. In 2010, it proved its powers — beating establishment-backed candidates in Senate races in Delaware, Colorado, Florida, Utah and Alaska to name a few. The result? Candidates are far more wary of crossing the tea party this time around, moving to embrace it rather than stare it down.
"The reason for the appearance of less tea party success is that the establishment candidates have moved markedly to the right this cycle," said Jon Lerner, a Republican consultant. "As the establishment candidates have moved to the right, there is less of a gap for tea party candidates to exploit."
Hatch is a perfect example of that phenomenon. The six-term senator spent much of the past two years relentlessly courting the tea party wing of the Utah GOP and moving his voting record to the ideological right. (In 2008, Hatch was ranked as the 29th most conservative senator in National Journal's vote ratings. By 2011, he was up to 15th.)
Romney, too, moved to the right on fiscal issues in hopes of keeping any tea party revolt at bay. And if you needed an example of the influence the tea party's no-compromise approach to fiscal austerity has had on the GOP, look no further than an August presidential debate in which all eight candidates said they would not accept a budget deal that included $10 in spending cuts to every $1 in revenue increases.
"The core of the movement was a shock therapy to Washington to make the national debt and the danger of the growth of government central to the debate," said Brad Todd, a Republican strategist. "It's clear Republicans got that message and Obama never will."
The question then is what the tea party does for an encore. Having moved the GOP — and the broader debate on fiscal issues — further to the ideological right , does it re-incorporate itself into the Republican Party? Disappear entirely? Or find another cause such as fiscal austerity around which to rally?

After some time without releasing any new version here is peepdf v0.3. It is not that I was not working in the project, but since the option to update the tool from the command line was released creating new versions became a secondary task. Besides this, since January 2014 Google removed the option to upload new downloads to the Google Code projects, so I had to figure out how to do it. From now on, all new releases will be hosted at eternal-todo.com, in the releases section.
The differences with version 0.2 are noticeable: new commands and features have been added, some libraries have been updated, detection for more vulnerabilities have been added, a lot of bug fixes, etc. This is the list of the most important changes (full changelog here):
Another change in this version is that it is not possible to use the command "set output" to redirect the output from the interactive console anymore. Some time ago I added the command-line-like redirection (">", ">>", "$>" y "$>>"), so the command "set output" was not longer useful and a bit deprecated.
Besides this, it is important to highlight that a bug related to the interactive console prompt was fixed. The history commands were being truncated and messed up in Unix systems, due to the use of the GNU Readline library and a bug related to not handling colorized prompts correctly. Well, it was partially fixed, because, although it works well in Linux systems, machines running Mac OS X keep having the same issue. The problem is that this operating system uses Editline instead of GNU Readline to manage the interactive console and it seems they don't have a fix for this. If someone knows a workaround to solve this, please contact me, you will make me happy ;)
I am already thinking in the new version, including detection for more exploits/vulnerabilities, JSON output (it seems that XML is not cool anymore, or some years ago ;p), improvements in the execution of Javascript code and fixes for the new bugs found.
If you don't have peepdf in your system it is possible to download the package here (ZIP or TAR.GZ). As usual, I wait for your feedback and your bug reports to continue improving the tool. Thanks a lot!

Purchase of the Sartori Foods cheese plant in Blackfoot, Idaho is part of Glanbia's strategy to be largest producer of American-style cheese.
Source: Glanbia Foods
Twin Falls, Idaho – On Thursday , March 14, 2013, Glanbia Foods, Inc. announced the purchase of the Sartori Foods cheese plant in Blackfoot, Idaho.
The acquisition, says Glanbia Foods, is a key enabler to the company's strategy to not only be the largest producer of American-style cheese but to also be the most innovative producer of American-style cheese.
"This acquisition further demonstrates Glanbia's commitment to innovation and to the long-term sustainability of dairy in Idaho," said Jeff Williams, president and CEO of Glanbia Foods.
"This manufacturing plant represents the 'right size' cheese plant that will allow us to take new product development out of our Cheese Innovation Center to commercial scale in a reduced time cycle," continued Williams.
As it has in other areas where it operates, Glanbia will establish itself as a key partner in the Blackfoot community and bring additional economic value to the area, the company says.
"The Blackfoot plant has a long history of producing quality cheese," said John Mutchler, executive vice president of the company's supply chain. "We are excited about the prospects of building on that tradition. The plant is located in a region that has a strong local supply of high quality milk, which will allow Glanbia to make gold-medal quality cheese that meets our customers' needs."
Glanbia Foods, Inc. has been headquartered in Idaho for 23 years. Over that time, the company has experienced significant growth, becoming the largest producer of American-style cheese in the world. In addition to supplying cheese and value-added whey products to domestic customers, Glanbia ships dairy products to 30 countries across the globe.
Headquartered in Twin Falls, Idaho, Glanbia works closely with dairy operations to receive quality milk needed to produce award-winning cheese. With the help of more than 1,000 employees, Glanbia and its sister company Southwest Cheese, of Clovis, N.M., makes, sells and ships more than 880 million pounds of cheese annually. Glanbia Foods is a major global cheese player and a division of Glanbia, plc, a publically traded international company based in Ireland with strong footprints in cheese and nutrition.

Consensus Report
Review of the Environmental Protection Agency's Draft IRIS Assessment of Tetrachloroethylene (2010)Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Tetrachloroethylene (also known as perchloroethylene, PCE, or PERC) is a chemical used for dry cleaning, metal degreasing, and other applications -- and is also an environmental contaminant linked to a range of health effects in humans, including cancer. This report provides an independent scientific review of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) draft assessment of the health effects of tetrachloroethylene. EPA's assessments will be used to guide air- and water-quality standards and cleanup procedures to protect public health. The report finds that EPA's classification of tetrachloroethylene as "likely to be a human carcinogen" and toxic to the nervous system is supported in the draft assessment. However, the report suggests using better designed studies than those EPA chose in calculating the risks of tetrachloroethylene. It also proposed ways to strengthen the scientific basis for estimating safe inhalation and oral exposures to tetrachloroethylene and cancer risk estimates.
Key Messages
- EPA should develop one model that incorporates the three computer models, called physiologically based pharmokinetic models, which are currently used to describe the way tetrachloroethylene works in an organism.
- EPA's assessment of tetrachloroethylene as "likely to be a human carcinogen" is supported by data that meet the relevant requirements in EPA's 2005 Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk
- EPA's draft would be improved with greater consideration of the modes of action of cancer to support the conclusions drawn, with particular attention to outlining the proposed tetrachloroethylene-associated key events leading to cancer
- The study that EPA used to characterize the noncancer health effects of tetrachloroethylene had methodological deficiencies -- EPA should reconsider its choice of study

(Please see updates after post.)
There is a difference and it is made plain by two competing bills currently before Congress - the Pregnant Women Support Act and the Prevention First Act. We'll look at the first in this post and the latter later. A final post will look at the politics of both and the likely outcome.
Pregnant Women Support Act
The Pregnant Women Support Act was developed by Democrats for Life of America and introduced in the House by Rep. Lincoln Davis (D-TN) and Senator Robert Casey (D-PA) in the Senate. It currently has 21 Democrat and 9 Republican cosponsors in the House and a single Democrat cosponsor in the Senate.
It is a good bill, a pro-life bill and is supported by Cardinal Rigali and numerous Catholic and pro-life organizations. It has not been supported by the President or the Democratic Caucus as their Catholic defenders have falsely claimed. But more on that later.
The bill's short description is "To provide for programs that reduce abortions, help women bear healthy children, and support new parents." Here's what it does:
1. ". . .make grants to States to increase public awareness of resources available to pregnant women to carry their pregnancy to term and to new parents."
2. ". . .make grants for the purchase of ultrasound equipment. Such ultrasound equipment shall be used by the recipients of such grants to provide, under the direction and supervision of a licensed medical physician, ultrasound examinations to pregnant women consenting to such services."
3. Restricts the ability of insurance companies to classify pregnancy as a pre-existing condition to coverage.
4. Extends Medicaid and SCHIP coverage for pregnant women and unborn children.
5. Abortion facilities must acquire informed consent which must include information on gestational age and characteristics of the unborn child, risks of abortion, how the abortion is performed, and alternatives to abortion including adoption and alternative resources available in the community.
6. Creates a Pregnant and Parenting Student Services Pilot Program providing a long list of services and accommodations for pregnant women at colleges.
7. "make grants to States to allow early childhood education programs, including Head Start, to work with pregnant or parenting teens to complete high school and prepare for college or for vocational education."
8. Creates a Program to Support Pregnant Women Who are Victims of Domestic Violence.
9. Establishes a "pilot program to fund supportive services for pregnant women, mothers, and children," providing, among other things, relocation assistance, temporary residential care, parenting classes, business skills training, educational support and emergency financial aid.
10. Expansion of Adoption Credit and Adoption Assistance Programs.
11. Expands and makes additional appropriations to WIC and The Child Care and Development Block Grant Program.
12. Makes grants for the collection and reporting of demographic abortion data to Congress.
In Part 2 we'll examine the Prevention First Act and how it doesn't look anything like this good bill. UPDATE - Part 2 now posted.
UPDATE 2 - Please see Cardinal Rigali's letter in support of the Senate Re-Introduction of the Pregnant Women Support Act (pdf). It very clearly distinguishes this bill from the Prevention First Act. Note to USCCB Communications Office - Stop making important announcements as locked pdfs. You might as well throw them in the garbage.

Essbase Calculations – Observations from the Road
Chris Chase, Managing Partner @ The Bean Consulting Group
With nearly 25 years experience in software and database technology I thought I had seen all that programming had to offer; then I discovered Essbase. Learn some interesting observations regarding Essbase calculations accumulated over nearly 10 years of Hyperion implementations. We will discuss aggregations, allocations, eliminations, and driver-based calculations, commands and functions specific to Hyperion Planning, and some of the more confounding aspects such as block creation and cross dimensional operators.

Sherlock Holmes for the DBA
Kellyn Pot'Vin, Senior Technical Consultant @ Enkitec
The DBA has numerous tools, some requiring additional licenses, some standard to any environment. When problems arise, often the administrator is expected to, not only identify, but also correct the problem without impact and in short order. This presentation goes over a number of common Oracle errors and performance issues, showing what tools, tracing to AWR reports, along with how to utilize these to quickly assess a strategy to address problems when they develop to lessen the challenge to managing these types of environments.
Attendees will leave the session with a better understanding of trouble-shooting techniques and when to use what features, tools and reports to address issues.

• What is SOA?
• What are the business problems solved by implementing SOA?
• Oracle's SOA Suite
• Demo of a sample business process using SOA Suite
• SOA Case Study
11:45 am – 12:45 pm
CTO's Perspective on Adding Geo-spatial and Location-Based Information to Your Data
Bradley Brown, CEO/CTO @ InteliVideo
There is a considerable amount of free geo-spatial data available from the government and open source groups. This information can be quite helpful at providing more information about location-based data. For example, if you're a property management company and you wanted to know close each of your properties are for anything from grocery stores to railroad tracks to flood plains, all of this information is available. If you wanted to know which homes are on a specific golf course, this data is available for free too.
In this presentation, Brad will share what geo-spatial data is available, where you can download the data, and what you might use the information for. You can also create your own layers of information and merge this into your queries. All of this can be done using an Oracle database (even the free version of Oracle) – i.e. without a mapping tool like ESRI. You can easily overlay this information onto Google maps or Google Earth. Brad will share PL/SQL code that will extract shapes into KML

Control switches and signalling devices are available in various types, such as push-buttons, joysticks, two-button stations, rotary switches, rotary actuators with or without illumination, and more. Among the various switch types, push-button control switches offer a very high degree of protection, with the advantage of being easy to use and delivering rugged reliability at the same time. They also offer flexibility to allow installation in any position. A joystick may offer better control compared to a push-button, in some applications. Two-button stations have a separate button for different functions, useful for making distinct choices. Rotary switches operate by rotation, and are the best choice for more than two positions in a single switch. A rotary actuator produces a rotary motion or torque, on receiving a control signal and energy. Most actuators are powered by electricity, but actuators may also be operated by mechanical power, depending on the application. Opt for high-quality switches that use either high-grade plastic or genuine metal. Control switches may require operation in emergency conditions, and LED illumination provides much-needed visibility. Installation of control switches and signalling devices may require several accessories, such as LED modules and elements, switching contacts, contact elements, fastening adapters, or signage such as emergency stop signs, and sign holders.

The Razorbacks (3-6, 0-5), meanwhile, dropped a sixth straight as Brandon Allen was limited to 10-of-22 passing for 112 yards and a touchdown.
Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins combined for 196 rushing yards for Arkansas.

Ichirou Agata, often known simply as Agata, is the guitarist for the Japanesenoise rock band Melt-Banana.[1] Agata is known particularly for his furious stage antics, jumping and constantly moving around, and exceedingly unique approach to playing the guitar which involves extended technique heavy use of effects pedals[2] and guitar slides resulting in sounds not easily attributed to the guitar. He is also known for consistently wearing a surgical mask on stage during performances.
He has also released a solo guitar album, entitled Spike, on John Zorn's Tzadik Records.
Agata claims that he gets the inspiration for his guitar riffs from the moment of euphoria when achieving something on a video game (Tony Hawk's is a favourite of his) and at that moment sings out the melody pattern and converts it to guitar.
Agata is normally seen wielding a vintage Gibson SG and plays through a Sunn Beta Lead Head with a Marshal 4×12 cabinet (as of 1999 Guitar Geek Link).Here is a more recent picture of his effects chain (2005). Identifiable effects in this picture are; two Boss Super Shifters, Fulltone Full Drive Pedal, Digitech Whammy, Pro Co Rat, Boss 2-Way Selector, and a Line-6 FM4 Filter Guitar Pedal.
In a brief fan interview it was revealed that the reason he wears a surgical mask on stage is that he is prone to nosebleeds. Beneath the mask he has cotton balls plugging his nose and usually removes them along with the mask quickly and privately off stage after the show.

BALTIMORE, MD - Senior Jonathan Rigaud rushed for 114 yards and three touchdowns and the Johns Hopkins offense rang up a season-high 582 yards of total offense and a school-record 40 first downs as the Blue Jays rolled past visiting Moravian, 49-15, at Homewood Field Saturday afternoon. The victory, JHU's 17th consecutive regular season win dating back to 2010, is the 150th for Johns Hopkins head coach Jim Margraff, who improved his career mark to 150-79-3 (.653) in 23 seasons at Homewood.
Already the all-time winningest coach in Johns Hopkins history, Margraff also becomes just the second college football coach in Maryland state history to reach the 150-win mark as he joins former Morgan State head coach Eddie Hurt in this exclusive club. Hurt won 174 games at Morgan from 1929-59.
In addition to setting a school record with their 40 first downs, the Blue Jays also tied the NCAA Division III record for first downs in a game. The mark has been reached twice previously.
The Blue Jays' seven touchdowns included three long, methodical drives that covered 77 yards or more and four that covered between 40 and 48 yards.
A game-opening 15-play, 77-yard drive that took nearly five minutes off the clock set the tone for the game and was capped by a nine-yard touchdown pass from junior Robbie Matey to classmate Daniel Wodicka. Matey completed 6-of-7 attempts on the drive, Rigaud rushed for 35 yards and only twice were the Blue Jays forced to convert on third down to keep the drive alive.
The Blue Jays (3-0, 2-0 Centennial) would push that early 7-0 lead to 28-7 at the half as they rolled up 387 yards of total offense before intermission.
A four-yard scoring run by Rigaud midway through the first quarter made it 14-0 and a one-yard run by junior JD Abbott pushed the margin to 21-0 midway through the second quarter. Abbott's run capped a stunning 15-play, 99-yard drive that ate nearly six minutes off the clock and came after Moravian's Tyler Thompson had pinned the Blue Jays inside their one yard line with a beautiful 39-yard punt.
The Greyhounds temporarily grabbed the momentum late in the second quarter when Travis King intercepted a Matey pass and raced 45-yards untouched into the end zone to make it 21-7. Moravian forced the Blue Jays to punt on their ensuing possession and took over deep in their own territory with a chance to run the two-minute offense, but Jimmy Lahue's deep out was overthrown and intercepted by freshman safety TJ Reeves with 54 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
The 54 seconds on the clock after Reeves' interception were 22 more than the Blue Jays needed as Matey worked the Blue Jays from the Moravian 48 to the 13 with completions of 16 yards to Rigaud, 12 yards to Wodicka and seven yards to senior Scott Cremens. Rigaud took it from there as the scampered loose from the 13-yard line to give the Blue Jays the 28-7 halftime lead.
Any hopes for a Greyhound (1-2, 1-1 CC) comeback were dashed early in the third quarter when senior Adam Schweyer intercepted Lahue on Moravian's first possession and returned it to the Greyhound 45-yard line. Nine plays and 45 yards later Rigaud finished his work for the day with a one-yard run to match his career-high for rushing touchdowns in a game.
A four-yard scoring run by freshman Brandon Cherry midway through the third quarter gave the Blue Jays their biggest lead of the game at 42-7 before Moravian scored eight straight points on a 14-yard scoring pass from Lahue to Will McLaughlin late in the third quarter and a safety in the fourth quarter. Sophomore Jason Bladesclosed the scoring with a 10-yard scoring run that polished off an 11-play, 77-yard drive late in the game.
The Blue Jay defense turned in another solid performance as it held Moravian to just 18 yards rushing on 17 attempts, 189 yards of total offense and a 1-of-12 showing on third-down opportunities. Only three of the Greyounds' possessions lasted more than five plays as JHU held a 98-54 advantage in offensive plays run. Lahue was 19-of-37 for 171 yards with the one touchdown and two interceptions, while McLaughlin had four catches for 48 yards and the one score.
Senior Taylor Maciow paced the Blue Jay defense with a team-high seven tackles and had two of JHU's three sacks on the day. Johns Hopkins has now held each of its three opponents this season to less than 200 yards of total offense and the Blue Jays have collected 14 sacks in three games.
Rigaud's 114-yard, three-touchdown effort led the way for a ground game that generated 338 yards and six of JHU's seven touchdowns on the day. Blades rushed for a career-high 86 yards and the one score, while Abbott added 64 yards and a touchdown. Matey was 23-of-27 for 224 yards with the one touchdown and one interception and also rushed 10 times for 48 yards.
The victory sets up a crucial game next week for the Blue Jays as they will travel to Allentown, Pennsylvania to take on Muhlenberg, which also improved to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the Centennial Conference with a 33-0 win at McDaniel.

Dear Savvy Senior,
What can you tell me about online dating for older people? My daughter has been urging me to give it a try, but at age 62, I'm a little hesitant.
Lonely Senior
Dear Lonely,
Dating sites have become enormously popular among the older generation in recent years. In fact, boomers and seniors make up about 20 percent of online daters today, and the numbers keeps growing. Here's what you should know.
Meeting Online
Enjoying yourself, your life, your family, your fun without feeling guilty or unspiritual is no small task in our work-worshiping life.
Achievements and goals to be reached are always important. But always being bent on being successful can lead to a life described as: "all work and no play makes Jack a boring boy."
I fell in love with mysteries when I was a kid, starting with Nancy Drew and Encyclopedia Brown and moving on to Mary Higgins Clark as I got older. As an adult, I discovered that subgenres of mysteries are popular. Cat and dog mysteries seem to have started the trend. Now there are quilt mysteries, scrapbook mysteries, tea mysteries, and herb mysteries.
Dear Savvy Senior,
How does one go about creating a trust for their pets? I have a dog and two cats that mean the world to me, and I want to make sure they'll be well taken care of after I'm gone.
Elderly Ellen
Dear Ellen,
Pet trusts have become more and more popular over the years as senior pet owners are looking for ways to ensure their pets will be well cared for when they're no longer able to do the caring. Here are some tips to help you get started.
Types of Trusts
The story is told of the colorful, 19th-century gifted violinist, Niccolo Paganini, who was performing before a packed house, playing a difficult piece of music, accompanied by a full orchestra giving him magnificent support. But ... suddenly one string on his violin snapped and, of course hung down, from his violin.
While reportedly he began to perspire, he continued to play beautifully.
Soon, another string popped, and then a third string. Now, here was the master violinist with only one string left.
Dear Savvy Senior,
What can you tell me about sleep apnea? My husband, who's 60, has become such a terrible snorer he wakes himself up at night, and he keeps me up too.
Sleepy Shelly
Dear Shelly,
If your husband is a loud snorer who wakes himself up during sleep, he probably needs to be tested for sleep apnea, a dangerous disorder that affects around 22 million Americans – and most don't even know it.
Talking — it's something everybody does, some too much and some too little. What is your pattern? Do you know if you actually have a pattern? If so, how did it become a pattern? If not, can you learn better ways to communicate that, in particular, helps you to better connect with your partner, family, friends? The following several patterns of communication may help you in this most essential part of your life.
A year and a half ago, my friend of 30 years moved from two states away to live four miles from my home. We have known each other since second grade, but this was the closest we had ever lived to one another.
We often spent time together when she first moved, but with the craziness of life with kids, work and community commitments, we now go weeks or sometimes much longer without seeing one another. Just before Christmas, we decided that it was time to have a girls' night, and that the perfect activity for us would be to paint on canvas together.
You may not have yet experienced alzheimer's in your family, but it is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. The number of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or some other form of dementia is projected to reach 14 million in a number of years.
It is stated regularly that families caring for someone with dementia or AD are barely able to stay afloat. Observing a person sort of "disappear" while you're actually watching it happen can be very depressing and disheartening, to say the least.
I am sitting on the cold hard linoleum floor in the community center for St. Pius X in Hikes Point. My daughter sits on my knee so she can see over the heads of the Girl Scouts sitting in front of her. We are waiting for the parade of countries to start at the World Thinking Day celebration for our unit, which includes many other troops.
