October 17, 2013
After conducting the first comprehensive report on the lives of local women and girls last year, the members of the Tallahassee/Leon County Commission on the Status of Women and Girls agreed that their next step would be to put those findings to work.
The Women and the Workplace Summit was the result.
"The Commission on Status of Women and Girls has been doing a phenomenal job the past three years to promote issues that impact women and girls in Leon County," said County Commission Vice Chairman Kristin Dozier. "As one of three women on the County Commission, I've witnessed the great strides that have been made in our community and I think this Summit gives us the opportunity to discuss where we can continue to make improvements - especially in the workplace."
Published last year, the report took 18 months and hundreds of hours of volunteer work. It covered issues of crime and justice, economic security, education, health and mental health, leadership, services and resources.
Key findings, for instance, showed that violence against women remains a pervasive and troubling local problem. In 2011, approximately 36 percent of all murders committed in Leon County involved domestic violence. Approximately 15 percent of all reported rapes and 22 percent of all aggravated assaults were classified as "domestic violence."
These largely unreported crimes constitute a significant proportion of all of the violent crimes reported in Leon County. What's more, they spill over into the workplace, compromising the safety of both victims and co-workers. Domestic and sexual violence also have a huge economic impact: lost productivity, higher health care costs and more absenteeism and employee turnover.
"Every employer in America wants to have a safe and productive work environment," said Tallahassee City Manager Anita Favors Thompson. "Yet when it comes to domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking, some employers have considered this a personal matter for the employee that is out of the employer's jurisdiction or involvement."
Favors Thompson said every employer has a clear responsibility to make the workplace safe for all employees.
"The City's enhanced workplace violence policy allows for us to better know and understand when protective measures are required," she said. "And we can better assist the affected employees by assuring them that they should be able to come to work without fear or harassment."
One of the most jarring statistics in the Commission report was that 58 percent of local single women with children under the age of five live in poverty.
"That's in our community. That's not in the developing world someplace," said Robin Hassler Thompson, the Commission chair. "That's right here at home."
The report found that in order to meet the most basic costs of living, a single woman without children in Leon County would have to earn $9.42 an hour, nearly two dollars more than Florida's minimum wage. A woman with two children would need to make $21.63 an hour or $45,674 annually, a salary higher than the $40,079 median income for all families in Leon County.
But the report also showed that professional women earned less than their male counterparts.
"Across the board, women are being paid less than men," Hassler Thompson said. "We want to raise awareness, and we want to give women really practical tools to figure that out."
Hundreds of Leon County residents attended the Summit. One of its main functions was to create an investment strategy for our community so that every workplace promotes greater economic security for women.

CASTLE DALE, UTAH,-Michael (Mike) Eugene Knop (52) peacefully passed away on Dec. 30, 2010 at the University Hospital Burn Trauma ICU in Salt Lake City, from complications brought on by a sudden illness.
Mike was born on Dec. 23, 1958 to Wilbert R. and Evelyn R. Knop in Chester, Ill. He was raised by his parents along with his siblings on a large farm/ranch where he learned the ethics and values of hard work every day of his life. He was a foreman and had a 25 year career with Castle Valley Special Service District.
The cowboy in Mike longed to discover the wild-wild west. While fulfilling this desire Mike roamed from Illinois west and ended up settling down in the mild, mild west of Utah, which he dearly loved to call home.
Mike was always the life of any gathering, he had the most contagious smile and one of the heartiest laughs a human could possess. He absolutely loved being Sheila's husband. She was the light of his life. It has been said, "Watching Mike and Sheila was like watching a True Love fairy tale."
Mike shared a special bond with his son Robbie, and deeply loved all of his children and grandchildren. He had a deep passion for family and friends and always stayed in touch with them. He delighted in being a husband, father, grandfather, and a friend to all. He was truly a "people person."
He was very talented and skilled in everything he had a notion to pursue. The most pleasurable moments of Mike's life was being able to live the cowboy way. He loved riding horses, herding cattle, farming, gardening, rock hounding, hiking, fishing, camping, animals, and family gatherings.
Survivors include his wife Sheila (Wilson) Knop of Castle Dale, Utah; parents Wilbert and Carol Knop of Willisville, Ill.; children Mallory Knop of Grand Junction, Colo., and Michael Robert (Robbie) Knop of Percy, Ill.; step-children Jennifer Barns of Ivins, Utah, Gwen (Kenny) Anderson of Elmo, Utah, Jayson (Maegan) Hiatt of Orangeville, Utah and Shay (Doug) Souder of Moore Head City, N.C.; siblings Perry (Sheila Simon) Knop of Carbondale, Ill., Brian (Tammy) Knop of Baltimore, Md., Andrea (Nathan Lingenfelter)Knop of Kazakhstan, Asia and Darrick Knop of Percy, Ill.; step-siblings Jerry (Cheryl) Arndt and Alan (Amanda) Arndt of Willisville, Ill.; in-laws; mom Marshan Wilson of Castle Dale, Utah; siblings, Marsha (Bill) Sherman of Orangeville, Utah, Tod (Kristi) Wilson of Carbonville, Utah, Kristy (Sterling) Johnson of Spanish Fork, Utah and Julie (Rick) Truman of Cleveland, Utah. Also surviving are nine grandchildren, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother Evelyn Ruth Knop.
To the very end, Mike fought a heroic battle to stay with us, but his body was just too exhausted so with a wink, wave, smile, and "I'll see you on the other side." Mike contentedly returned to his Heavenly Father.
The family wishes to express our deepest gratitude to all who have supported us in so many ways, they are too numerous to mention. Your kindness and compassion during the past few months will be embedded in our hearts forever.
A memorial service was held Sat. Jan. 8, 2011 at St. John's Lutheran Church (Post Oak) Campbell Hill, Ill., 62916, at 3 p.m.
A funeral service will be held at the Heritage Funeral Home, 620 N. Main, Huntington, Utah on Thursday, Jan. 13, 2011.

Northbrook, Illinois
Ginger Frere will present "Cobbler, Tailor, Trunkmaker: How my grandpappies Made a Living." Doing family history is more than collecting names and dates. Most of us want to get to know our ancestors as much as possible and to understand their lives. How we make a living is an important part of who we are and why we do things. Through the use of case studies, this talk will explain methods for discovering details about our ancestors' occupations. Even if we can't find specifics such as employment records, there are other ways to gain a better picture of how our ancestors lived and worked.

|In response to Re: Needing advice...
: I am in the process of having my bedrooms built on to. I have had a contractor doing the work. I have extended my bedroom and my children's bedrooms out....making them larger. I have extended my bedroom (which is on the end of the house) out 10 feet...it was a 12 x 12 bedroom. Hopeing to make it a 12 x 22. I have been told by this contractor that he can't take all of the wall down(the wall between the existing bedroom and the new addition) that he must leave a foot of the wall on both sides and that I will have a beam comming down from the ceiling of about 6 inches where the room and the new addition meet. He says we need that for support. I was really hopeing to open this up completely...making this one large bedroom. Could you please tell me....Is this possible???? Belinda
A thought, If you think of the support considerations as decorative and could incorporate them further into the design, they could become a standout part of the look. They way most builders do that is by "adding" matching posts and dropping corners or soffits to created balanced rooms. If the look is balanced, nobody cares that the original reason was for structure. Terry Love

Abraham Lincoln, then 47, came to Sterling to speak at a rally for presidential candidate, John C. Fremont. On July 18, 1856, a twist of fate brought Mr. Lincoln to the home of Sheriff William Manahan to spend the night. He slept on a sofa with two chairs placed at its end to accommodate his long legs. In the morning he graciously thanked his host and left Sterling and the rest is history! The home has been restored and its interior, furnishings, and facade reflect the time when Lincoln visited in the late 1850s.

Experience the history of the second of the famous debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas. Its was at this site on August 27, 1858 that the Freeport Doctrine, an important statement regarding slavery and state's rights, was proclaimed by Douglas. Although Douglas won the Senatorial campaign for which the debate was held, his statements lost him the support of the South and split the Democratic Party. This enabled Lincoln to win the Presidency in 1860, thus precipitating the Civil War. The site is self-interpretive through a series of waysides that tell of the events and ideas which led up to the debates, and also includes a boulder and plaque dedicated by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903, as well as the life-size statues "Lincoln and Douglas in Debate" by artist Lily Tolpo which was dedicated in 1992.

The final debate of Stephan A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln took place in front of Alton's city hall at the corner of Broadway and Market Streets. The senatorial debate drew national attention along with more that 6,000 visitors. Life-like statues of the two statesmen keep the famous series of debates in 1858 frozen forever in time.

I am enjoying dimensions
I have not tried dimensions yet
I dislike dimensions
What's a dimension?
RIFT: Valakin lvl 60 rogue / Valakis lvl 60 mage - Zaviel EU, guild "Consortium"
D3: 60 Barb, 60 Wiz, 60 WD
Dimension prices are reduced now by 40-80% so they're a lot more affordable.
lol. One person finally dislikes dimensions. Would love to hear why.

MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL: Beer, Games, Opinions | CPU Overclocking Thread | GPU Overclocking Thread
Pretty neat show highlighting player dimensions:
The problem I have with dimensions is this: I want to decorate my house. Not build it by placing every brick and floorboard. Dimensions are just too... build-y.
Every time I try to make my dimension look nice I end saying, "screw it" and just logoff.

Hard to balance customization with a nice learning curve for new people.
Well, after being bored at work today and seeing Nykolas' thread asking for a dimension sticky and a mention of a thread buried I thought I'd go looking.
Love the concept of dimensions but making stuff sometimes can really be a pain! :P
If anyone is interested, I have a jump puzzle dimension up on Icewatch EU called 'Jump, Puzzle, Rage' feel free to go check it out :P Could be improved but I spent quite a lot of time making it in a short period of time so need to take a break for a while ^^. That being said, any +1 votes, if you enjoy it, are always welcome - along with any feedback on how I could improve it!
I would record a video of a run through it but that would show you how to do the 'rage' part of it. :P (When you get to it, you'd probably know what it is).
dimensions is the best housing at mmos. endless possibilities
My spaceship, still work in progress but won't have much time to play so might as well post it
Back (engines)
And if anyone is on Icewatch and wants to play a guessing game, which ship was my inspiration? (It's from a well known tv-show.)
100p to the first one that gets it right.
Dimension name is Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey, if anyone wants to visit.

Huston's attorney asks to delay trial two months
The attorney representing a former Franklin County Administrator accused of stealing $1.7 million asks to delay the trial today.
Dennis Huston is charged with first degree theft, money laundering and possession of cocaine.
His trial is scheduled to start in January, but Huston's attorney asked for the trial to be pushed back to March.
The judge did not make a ruling today, because a new judge is being assigned to the case.
The judge is also reviewing a private investigation into the county's accounting practices and employee procedures to decide if it can be revealed to attorneys.

We are no longer accepting online registrations for this event.
The Real Estate Development Process: Part II course is structured on the principle that learning to make good decisions requires more than instruction; it requires interaction and practice. Consequently, the course engages students in discussion with the instructor and guest speakers, as well as in realistic development scenarios that demonstrate the complexities and interdisciplinary nature of real estate development. Participants engage in challenging case studies and interaction with other class members. Participants work in teams on several realistic case studies representing different stages of real estate development acquisition, entitlement, and full-scale development, giving them practical experience at each stage.
For each case study, participants receive real-world data from which they produce a viable strategy for their hypothetical projects. Through this hands-on approach, participants are introduced to higher-level concepts and real-life complexities of the development process. Prominent guest lecturers from the fields of finance, entitlement, construction, architecture, municipal finance, and entrepreneurial development discuss the development process from their own perspectives in an interactive setting.
Participants receive computer models, case descriptions, course outlines, and handouts on a CD or flash drive. Participants should bring laptop computers to fully participate in the pro forma business modeling and case studies.

Husband charged with murder in 2004 Westminster stabbing
WESTMINSTER – A man accused of hiring people to kill his estranged wife to avoid divorce costs and losing his medical license has been charged with murder as authorities continue to search for those who carried out the slaying.
Westminster Police Department and Orange County District Attorney's Office officials at a news conference Tuesday announced the arrest of Magdi Girgis, 60, in connection with the killing of Ariet Girgis, stabbed to death in her Westminster home in 2004 while one of her sons was bound and gagged in another room.
At the time of the killing, Magdi Girgis, a respiratory therapist, was facing domestic-violence charges after being accused of assaulting Ariet Girgis. Authorities say a restraining order had also been issued against Magdi Girgis and that Ariet Girgis intended to divorce him.
Prosecutors say Magdi Girgis planned his wife's murder in order to avoid paying the cost of a divorce and to avoid a felony domestic-violence conviction that would result in the loss of his medical license.
"He wanted to keep all his money to himself," said Sonia Balleste, a senior deputy district attorney prosecuting the case.
Police said at least two people entered the Girgis residence in the early morning hours of Sept. 24, 2004.
One person entered 17-year-old Ryan Girgis' room, bound and gagged him, and forced him into a closet, police said.
The other person entered Ariet Girgis' bedroom, slashed her throat and stabbed her repeatedly, police said.
Ryan heard the people suspected in the killings leave in a car, broke free from his restraints and called police. They were gone by the time officers arrived.
Magdi Girgis was considered a person of interest since the beginning of the investigation, Westminster police Sgt. Cliff Williams said. However, it wasn't until Friday, more than eight years after his wife's death, that he was taken into custody.
In the interim, Magdi Girgis had been convicted of the domestic-violence charge in 2005 and was sentenced to a year in jail and five years of probation.
Investigators declined to specify what evidence tied Magdi Girgis to his wife's death.
"We feel very confident about the leads we do have," Williams said.
Westminster police Chief Kevin Baker at Tuesday's conference said investigators are pursuing the two people suspected in the killings and that additional arrests may be forthcoming. He declined to release any information on them.
The couple's sons, Richard and Ryan, described their mother as a loving and caring woman.
The brothers expressed relief that an arrest had been made in connection with their mother's death but sadness that authorities say their father was involved.
"It's been so long, we were worried it would never be solved," Richard said. "At the same time, it's sad our dad had something to do with it."
However, Ryan said their father's arrest did not come as a shock.
"All along, I knew he had something to do with it," Ryan said. "I'm just glad justice will be served."
Magdi Girgis has been charged with a felony count each of special-circumstances murder, conspiracy to commit murder and false imprisonment by violence, as well as potential sentencing enhancements for murder for financial gain and murder to prevent testimony.
If convicted, authorities say Magdi Girgis faces life in state prison without the possibility of parole and would be eligible for the death penalty.
Authorities say there is a $55,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. They are asking anyone with information to contact Westminster police at 714-898-3315, district attorney investigators at 714-347-8492, or to leave an anonymous tip with Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855-TIP-OCCS or occrimestoppers.org.

K-9s – A Law Enforcement Officer's Equal Partner, Best Friend
The recent tragedy involving U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer Jason Crisp and his K-9 Maros brought to light the close bond between an officer and his dog and the dangers they face.
Crisp and K-9 Maros were killed in the line of duty on March 12, 2014 in Burke County, North Carolina. The efforts of officers and K-9s are crucial to the mission of Forest Service law enforcement and a well-trained K-9 team is vital to the protection of people, property and resources on U.S. Forest Service-managed lands. Not only are the highly trained dogs involved in the apprehension of suspects and the detection of narcotics, but they also locate evidence, track individuals and provide community demonstrations.

Oral Glucose Tolerance
Blood Tests for Diabetes Diagnosis: Oral Glucose Tolerance Test
Also known as: OGTT; 3-hour glucose tolerance test.
What is it? A test that measures blood glucose levels four to five times over a 3-hour period. The patient is administered an oral dose of glucose solution (75 to 100 grams of an extremely sweet drink), which should cause glucose levels to rise in the first hour, and then fall back to normal within three hours as the body produces insulin to normalize glucose levels.
Why is this test performed? To confirm a diagnosis of diabetes or gestational diabetes (and to diagnose other metabolic diseases). Because the OGTT is a more sensitive test than the fasting plasma glucose test, and involves multiple blood draws to monitor insulin production, it can often detect cases of diabetes that may be missed by the fasting test.
How frequently should this test be performed? Once, in select individuals, for diagnosis of diabetes. A second retest may be appropriate in some patients, particularly pregnant women being tested for gestational diabetes. Additional laboratory tests may be required for an accurate diagnosis.
What is the "normal" range for results? Laboratory test methods and measurements vary in this test. The most commonly used test protocols include the Wilkerson point system; the Fajans-Conn system, or the National Institutes of Health (NIH) system. On average, normal glucose levels typically peak at 160 180 mg/dl (8.89 10 mmol/l) from 30 minutes to 1 hour after administration of the oral glucose dose, and should then return to fasting levels of 140 mg/dl (7.78 mmol/l) or less within a 2- to 3-hour period.
Factors such as age, weight, and race can influence results, as can recent illnesses and certain medications. For example, older individuals will have an upper limit increase of 1 mg/dl in glucose tolerance for every year over age 50. For more information, ask your doctor what protocol your lab uses.
What do abnormal results mean? Glucose levels that quickly rise above normal levels (i.e., 200 mg/dl / 11.11 mmol/l or higher) and take longer to normalize usually indicate diabetes mellitus. Pregnant women with a 1-hour glucose level of over 180 mg/dl (10 mmol/l), a 2-hour level of over 155 mg/dl (8.6 mmol/l), or a 3-hour level of over 140 mg/dl (7.78 mmol/l) may have gestational diabetes. A follow-up test may be required.
If fasting glucose levels peak below normal levels (i.e., approximately 140 mg/dl or 7.78 mmol/l), a condition that indicates increased glucose tolerance, such as Addison's disease, hypothyroidism, malabsorption, or hypopituitarism may be present.
OGTT Fast Facts from the NIH:
- In normal glucose tolerance, blood glucose rises no higher than 140 mg/dl (7.78 mmol/l) 2 hours after the drink.
- In impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or pre-diabetes, the 2-hour blood glucose is between 140 and 199 mg/dl (7.78 mmol/l and 11.1 mmol/l).
- If the 2-hour blood glucose rises to 200 mg/dl (11.11 mmol/l) or above, a person has diabetes.

I continue to try to get to the bottom of why the sink in my main floor bathroom smells. With your help I might be making progress, but now I need some education. It was suggested I check the overflow for crud even though it is a brand new sink. I am not good with the vocabulary here, so please bear with me. Water was running into the overflow at the back of the sink just fine, but most if it wasn't coming out. Looking down the drain I found three of the four holes where the water from the overflow connects to the drain completely sealed with caulk. I pried off the caulk and opened the holes as best I could, and water now runs through them pretty well. However, each hole seems to be holding about 3/4" of standing water. In other words, there is a dip that goes below where the overflow hole comes into the drain, and water is sitting there. Is that supposed to be? What is a normal overflow like? Does it hold standing water? If it's not supposed to, how do I fix it? And do you think it possible that those sealed up holes could be causing my sink to smell?

Siebold (zēˈbôlt) [key], family of German scientists. It includes Karl Kaspar von Siebold kärl käsˈpär fən, 1736–1807, anatomist and surgeon, who was professor at the Univ. of Würzburg from 1769. He was ennobled in 1801. A son, Adam Elias von Siebold äˈdäm ālēˈäs, 1775–1828, was noted as an obstetrician. He taught at the universities of Würzburg (1799–1816) and Berlin (from 1816), where he founded a noted obstetrical clinic. Phillip Franz van Siebold was his son. Eduard Kaspar von Siebold āˈdōärt, 1801–61, another son, was also a noted obstetrician. He was professor at the universities of Marburg (1829–33) and Göttingen (from 1833). A third son, Karl Theodor Ernst von Siebold tāˈōdōr ĕrnst, 1804–85, also a physician, was one of the foremost biologists of his time. He specialized in the comparative anatomy of invertebrates and wrote the first volume (1846) of Lehrbuch der vergleichenden Anatomie; this volume appeared in English under the title Anatomy of the Invertebrata (1854). Especially noteworthy are his research on intestinal parasites and his work on the classification of invertebrates. He taught from 1853 at the Univ. of Munich.

Goose Bay Sauvignon Blanc and More
Goose Bay wines are made Mevushal under strict supervision by a mashgiach—and judging by the reviews, the ancient process has only improved their taste. The smoky Goose Bay Sauvignon Blanc has medaled at the New Zealand International Wine Show, been lauded by Gayot and The New York Times, and received a 90 point rating by Wine Spectator.
And though New Zealand has long been known for its Sauvignon Blanc, Goose Bay Pinot Noir is sparking an unprecedented buzz in the Land of the Long White Cloud. Praised by The Wall Street Journal for its earthy nose and berry complexities, the varietal is made of grapes from New Zealand's South Island, and pairs flawlessly with light meals and cheese.
Changing the Face of New Zealand Wine
From its kosher roots to its revolutionary regional Pinot Noir, Goose Bay Wines is fast establishing itself as an innovator to be reckoned with. Spencer Hill only produces six wine varieties, but their attention to detail literally goes right down to each bottle's Diam cork. Philip and Sheryl Jones chose the road less traveled, and the rewards have been tremendous. Here at JWines, we see pouring a glass of Goose Bay as, quite simply, the most enjoyable way yet to keep up with the Joneses.
