One of the most historically, politically, and strategically important space stations in the Alpha Quadrant during the latter half of the 24th century, Deep Space 9, originally known as Terok Nor, was an orbital space station constructed by the Cardassians in orbit of Bajor during their occupation of the planet. Under Federation administration, following the Cardassian withdrawal and relocation to the Bajoran system's denorios belt, DS9 became a vital commercial port and defensive outpost due to its location near the mouth of the Bajoran wormhole. It later became a key strategic location during the Dominion War, for both the Dominion and the Federation Alliance.Terok Nor was the station's original Cardassian designation. Built by Bajoran slave labor during the Occupation of Bajor under the leadership of the Cardassian Union between 2346 and 2351, its original purpose was to serve as a refinery for uridium ore that was mined from Bajor's surface, a process carried out in temperatures as high as 55 degrees Celsius. Therefore, Terok Nor had extensive ore refining and transport facilities that occupied the large docking pylon structures and was built to accommodate up to seven thousand humanoid-sized people as well as process up to twenty thousand tons of ore a day. The station also served as a command post from which the Cardassian Prefect of Bajor, most notably Gul Dukat, oversaw the military aspects of the Occupation. In one of his recorded messages for the counter-insurgency program installed on the station, Dukat described Terok Nor as being "a paradise" compared to Bajor. Like the planet it orbited, the station operated on a twenty-six hour day.

Posts Tagged 'publishing'
Spring is blooming with new publications! At the end of the year, I usually post a tally of how many places I've submitted and what's been accepted. I was so busy in December, I didn't get a chance to do it, so here it is now:
2016 Tally: I submitted work to 57 places (a few residencies, anthologies, magazines, contests, etc.). In 2015, I submitted to 34 places. So although I didn't quite double my submission rate, I'm pretty proud of my output. That's roughly three submissions a month, though I tend to submit in batches.
Last year a poem, a reprint, 2 flash pieces, a short story and a novella (big news to be announced soon!) were accepted for publication. Everything is out except the novella. Also, with more than half of the submissions, I received personal rejection letters encouraging me to submit again. Another reason why it is important to submit work is that you have the opportunity to develop a relationship with editors.
My flash fiction story, "The Lineup" is now up at the wonderful online magazine 100 Word Story.
I never thought I could write anything under 10,000 words (maybe a poem every once and awhile). But, I started studying flash fiction and had some incredible teachers along the way. The Lineup is the shortest story I have written thus far. Warning, writing flash fiction can be addicting!
Also, Grant Faulkner is one of the creators behind National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and also the founder of 100wordstory, a great site for micro fiction. Thought you might enjoy his tiny essay about writing tiny stories.
It's so easy to talk ourselves out of submitting our work. Rejection is painful. Even though I am a coach and a creative writer, I, too, find ways to 'self-reject' my work. It's never a good idea. Always get your work under review, submitted, in the pile, seen. It's a simple fact that if we creatives want to have an audience, someone has to read, see, or hear and experience our work. The only way we can do that is to submit our work to others.
In January, I taught a workshop called 'Charting Your Path to Publication: Tips, Techniques and Lessons for Writers.' An amazing group of writers came out to learn how to beat the odds of rejection when submitting to journals, magazines, etc. We talked about strategies to submit our work, the courage to send it out and the perseverance to keep going in the face of rejection.
I shared how inspired I was by a great interview with the writer Laurence MacNaughton on Mur Lafferty's "I Should Be Writing" podcast. He shared that he struggled for many many years getting his fiction published. He had many cardboard boxes filled with rejection letters. When he moved into a new home, he decided to open up those boxes and count his rejection letters.
He counted and stacked up 100, 200, and 300 rejection letters. As I listened to the story, I held my breath. So many questions ran through my mind. How many did he have? Where was he going to stop? How many rejection letters did I have a decade ago? He kept on counting and found himself at 500, 600, and then 800 rejections. He stopped when he reached a 1000 rejection letters. He stopped counting them even though he had more letters! He felt so bad about it that he stopped temporarily writing. He felt like anyone who could amass 1000 rejection letters should not write.
He said that that not writing was really hard and that he soon came to the realization that writing was essential to his mission and purpose on the planet. It's what gave him joy. He decided to write, no matter whether he was published or not. He kept submitting his work and soon after that sold one of his novels. He's now a full-time writer.
I was very moved by this story as it reminds us that all we can control is what we send out and although we will inevitably get rejected, we have to submit our work. And, we have to find joy in the writing itself, no matter what the outcome. As Laurence says, "Rejections mean you are doing what you need to do, you just need to keep going."
Recently, I almost talked myself out of submitting work. Last fall, I saw this call:
Octavia Estelle Butler was born on 22 June, 1947, and died in 2006. In celebration of what would have been her 70th birthday in 2017, and in recognition of Butler's enormous influence on speculative fiction, and African-American literature more generally, Twelfth Planet Press is publishing a selection of letters and essays written by science fiction and fantasy's writers, editors, critics and fans.
I got goose bumps reading this call. Octavia Butler is one of my favorite authors. I teach her work and her nonfiction essay, "Positive Obsession" is one that I credit for inspiration in pursuing my writing life.
I put it on my calendar to submit, but as the deadline approached, I found myself saying:
"Every prominent speculative fiction writer is going to submit something—I can't compete."
"I want to write about the impact of her nonfiction on me and her use of affirmations to boost her confidence. The editors probably won't be interested in that."
And on…
I was about to talk myself right out of submitting due to fear. I was going to self-reject. Thank goodness a writing friend messaged me with the link and said, "Hey, I know you're a Butler fan, you're submitting to this right?'
That little encouragement got me in gear. I decided to write the essay. I told myself, if it gets rejected, I can pitch to the speculative fiction magazine. Someone could want this essay.
I sent it off, pleased with the essay, but not expecting anything.
I'm thrilled to say that my essay WILL appear in the anthology. I am so honored to be in this collection. See details below.
Always give others a chance to evaluate your work. Never self-reject!
We are excited to announce the contributors of original letters and essays for Luminescent Threads: Connections to Octavia Butler. There are letters from people who knew Butler and those who didn't; some who studied under her at the Clarion and Clarion West workshops and others who attended those same workshops because of her; letters that are deeply personal, deeply political, and deeply poetic; and letters that question the place of literature in life and society today. Essays include original pieces about Butler's short story "Bloodchild" and whether we should respect Butler's wishes about not reprinting certain works. All of these original pieces show the place that Octavia Butler had, has, and will continue to have in the lives of modern writers, editors, critics and fans. Our contributors include:

On Sunday, January 15th, I will host a LIVE group coaching call. I'll be talking about what needs to be in your creativity start-up kit to set you up for success in 2017. I'll do a powerful visioning exercise and share a few ways to "hack your brain" for increased creativity. The majority of the call will be me answering YOUR questions. Have questions about publishing, finding motivation, getting past the inner critic? ASK THEM and get helpful answers. I want to support you in dreaming about what you want to accomplish in 2017 and to planning how you will do it.
Check out the details here. A small investment with a big payoff.
FAST-ACTION BONUS Almost Gone-Will You Conquer These 4 Blocks in Your Writing Life in 2017?
Posted January 4, 2017on:
What I've discovered in my coaching practice and my own writing life is that are four key challenges that keep writers from writing:
- Finding TIME to write
- Lack of structure and accountability to support Goal Setting
- Untamed inner critics that make us feel UNWORTHY. The result is that you don't write consistently or get more of your writing out into the world.
- Limiting beliefs about MONEY, ABUNDANCE and PROSPERITY
I talked about debilitating nature of these 4 things on the 'Affirm the Writer in You' webinar. Go here for the replay.
I've opened the doors for my signature program 'Tone Your Creative Core™' Program which helps creative people deal with the universal blockers of time, money, self-worth and goal-setting that ALL creative people, especially writers struggle with.

I have a special FAST-ACTION Bonus— if you act by 11:59 Jan 3rd you will ALSO receive a personal coaching session with me!

The joys of pregnancy!! :) You will have random aches and pains, and weird things happen. The baby is getting bigger and pushing up on things. I would just talk to your doc about it at your next appt to be safe, but chances are its just the baby pushing on something. I had a random 2 weeks of excruciating back pain around 25-27, I thought for sure there was something wrong with me, and then it went away. As for your emotional state, its completely normal girl! You will be a basket case on and off throughout pregnancy, its just all the hormones. I was a raging bit** at times, and a huge cry baby at others. Its just a part of pregnancy for a lot of women. Its not always cute and fun to be pregnant, but its worth it! Hang in there!posted 02/12/2014 by emorgan1011

What is siddhartha Guatama's critique of the self? and what is it made up of?Explain his theories
1 Answer | Add Yours
The Buddha denies the existence of any permanent entity either physical or mental. He considers the human person as a psychophysical complex. For him all worldly things are momentary and likewise the self is not more than it and rejects commonly believed conception of self.
According to the Buddha, all of our senses and thoughts are on fire with lust and desire. Although there is no-abinding self or soul, we cannot deny the reality of our experiences.
They are:
1. Rupa: Material Form-the material givenness of experience.
2. Vedana: Sensation- the initial sensory apprehension of forms.
3. Samjna : Cognition- the determine classification of experience.
4. Samskara: Disposition- the volitional response that colours experiences.
5. Vijnana: Consciousness- awareness of the six sensory ranges (indriya).
The Buddha is said to have declared with reference to each of the five skandhas "It is not mine. He is not me. He is not myself"., thereby rejecting the existence of some mysterious entity that might be thought to 'own' or 'possess' the skandhas and to deny that any such substantial self can be found within the skandhas themselves.

Kirkwood wide receiver Jeremy Maclin made his first camp appearance this past Saturday at the University of Iowa where he caught the eye of the Hawkeye coaching staff.
"I'm supposed to give Iowa a call back on Tuesday to know where I stand on their board," said Maclin. "I thought I performed the best of any receiver there, and there wasn't really any defensive back I felt could contain me. Coach (Lester) Erb was very straightforward with me, and really wants me to use my hands better to get off defensive backs after making initial contact. I know I need to improve my flexibility, too, and I have a female friend who has offered to teach me some yoga."
Maclin, who has never been officially offered by the Hawkeyes, says Iowa is a school that will definitely make his final list if they indeed offer.
"I plan to cut my list down to around five schools at the end of the summer, and if Iowa offers, they will definitely be one of them. Iowa City is a beautiful place, and I liked all of the coaches there as they really know how to work and relate with the players," stated Maclin.
On Sunday afternoon, Maclin also made an appearance at the one day Missouri camp being held in St. Louis, although, he did not perform.
"There were over 300 kids there, and I saw a lot of my area buddies like Adrian Clayborn and Sergio Kahn. The Missouri coaches just told me that they want me badly, and they more than likely will be included in my top five, too, when the time comes," said Maclin.

In art history textbooks, it is not unusual to come across the term "unknown saint." Usually, it will partly describe an icon or painting. As, for example, in the following descriptions: "Madonna and Child with St. John the Evangelist and Unknown Saint" or "Depicted are Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint Francis of Assisi, Unknown, Saint John the Baptist." Sometimes the identity of a locally popular saint becomes obscure or forgotten and we no longer recognize them by their images. I find the term unintentionally poetically beautiful. Most saints, I believe, are unknown. This painting and others like it is meant in part to pay tribute to these saints.The image of God is in every person.

Delaney and Bonnie Bramblett. Great roots and blue eyed soul from the late 60's and early 70's.
Their touring band, Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, was ridiculous.
Members included Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, Dave Mason, Bobby Keys & Jim Price on horns, 2 more of Derek and The Dominos, Kenny Gradney (Little Feat) and Jim Dickinson. Duane Allman and Gram Parsons also played with them.
Plus Delaney wrote Lonesome and A Long Way from Home, and turned Jerry on to Goin Down the Road Feelin Bad (the GD's version is close to the one he arranged)

David Byrne
wiki sez: David Byrne (born May 14, 1952) is a Scottish-born musician and artist arguably most associated with his role as a founding member and principal songwriter of the American new wave band Talking Heads, which was active between 1975 and 1991. Since then, Byrne has released his own solo projects on record, and worked in a variety of media, including film, photography, opera, and Internet-based projects. He has received Grammy, Oscar, and Golden Globe awards for his achievements. As a member of Talking Heads, Byrne has been inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I hope his millions compensate him for this lack of appreciation. If these are the standards, I nominate Bob Dylan.

Kalaparusha is a saxophonist and band leader who was among the early members of the AACM in Chicago in the 60's who, despite recording a few albums, ended up playing in subways and on street corners in the 80's and 90's before catching a break and returning to the club and festival circuit as well as recording a few albums. He rarely falls into the honking and squeaking stereotype of the free jazz musician and is often far more interesting and accessible than his contemporaries, like Anthony Braxton and the Art Ensemble of Chicago, who have garnered a great deal more success and acclaim.
Louisiana Red is a blues guitarist who started recording in 1949, played with John Lee Hooker in the 50's, had a small hit with "I'm Too Poor to Die" in '64. He moved to Europe in the Early 80's and while he does record regularly and presumably makes a nice living touring, he tends to slip under the radar despite being both an immense talent and a link to the early days of electric blues.
Enrique Delgado was the premier talent and innovator (being among the early users of the Moog synthesizer in pop music) of the Cumbia Peruana scene of the 60's and 70's. He does at least garner accolades within certain circles and has gained some belated respect due to the efforts of his widow to continue to market his music. Cumbia Peruana is generally overlooked in favor of the contemporaneous Tropicalia movement in Brazil that was also a fusion of Rock and more traditional South American musics.
Of course, there are hundreds of other similar stories of musicians who have done breathtaking work only to be considered journeyman musicians. These three came to mind.

The strange verbal paradoxes called koans have been used traditionally in Zen training to help students attain a direct realization of truths inexpressible in words. The two works translated in this book, Mumonkan (The Gateless Gate ) and Hekiganroku (The Blue Cliff Record), both compiled during the Song dynasty in China, are the best known and most frequently studied koan collections, and are classics of Zen literature. They are still used today in a variety of practice lineages, from traditional zendos to modern Zen centers. In a completely new translation, together with original commentaries, the well-known Zen teacher Katsuki Sekida brings to these works the same fresh and pragmatic approach that made his Zen Training so successful. The insights of a lifetime of Zen practice and his familiarity with both Eastern and Western ways of thinking make him an ideal interpreter of these texts.

Pollution Levels Plummet in Proctor Creek
Pollution tracking requires technical expertise, persistence, a certain fearlessness — and sometimes a little help from man's best friend.
Mike Meyer (pictured above) still remembers the dog that unexpectedly jumped through a hole in a chain link fence, showing him one of the few ways to access a creek in northwest Atlanta suspected of being polluted with sewage. He was scouting for locations to take water samples on a tributary to Proctor Creek, as part of Chattahoochee Riverkeeper's Neighborhood Water Watch (NWW) program — a highly- successful initiative that Mike has managed for the past four years.

While most coaches come to watch the 17U teams play at the big AAU events such as the Elite Youth Invitational that is being played during the latter part of the July recruiting period, eight college coaches, including assistants from Mississippi State, Arkansas and Memphis, were on hand to watch the 2015 guard K.J. Lawson play in a 16U AAU game.
What they saw was a player who can play positions all over the court.
"I'm versatile, I can play just about every position on the court," said Lawson, who played both guard positions on offense and in the post on defense during the game. "I can play on the wing and post up little guards. I really play the one (position) but on this team (the head coach) is letting the 10th grader start because I just came from the AAU Nationals."
He's also a very good offensive player who can score inside or outside.
"My offensive game is deadly because I can do it all," said.
He's also very effective when handling the ball.
"I have been raised to dribble the ball so I can handle the ball, I can pass, really I can do everything," he Lawson.
And numerous college coaches have liked what they have seen from the talented youngster.
"Coaches from Memphis, LSU, Georgetown, Texas, UCLA, Miami, Arkansas, Mississippi State have watched me play this summer," said the 6-foot-7 guard.
Several college have already extended offers, according to his dad and head AAU coach, Keelon Lawson.
"Arkansas has offered, Ole Miss has offered, Memphis offered, Mississippi State did offer but with the new coaching staff we aren't sure about that," he said.
K.J. hopes to start unofficially visiting colleges soon.
"I want to take unofficial visits to Arkansas and Ole Miss and I also want to take a visit to UCLA," he said. "I really want to take a lot of visits."

TSX dips for fifth straight session, energy stocks resilient
By Fergal Smith
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index edged lower on Tuesday as consumer, industrial and materials stocks weakened, while energy stocks rose despite weaker crude oil prices.
The index fell for a fifth straight session, but after paring the worst of losses. It follows an 11 percent loss in 2015, its worst year since the global financial crisis of 2008.
"It's a cautious start to the year," said Brian Pow, vice president, research at Acumen Capital Partners in Calgary, adding "the volumes in certain stocks are still pretty light"
Magna International Inc (MG.TO: Quote) declined 2.4 percent to C$54.35, while the overall consumer discretionary sector fell 1.2 percent.
Canadian National Railway Co (CNR.TO: Quote) fell 1.3 percent to C$75.47, while Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc (POT.TO: Quote) was down 2.4 percent at C$23.63.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE closed down 7.01 points, or 0.05 percent, to 12,920.14. Six of the index's 10 main groups were in negative territory.
"People are trying to look for new ideas," said Pow, including reallocation of capital out of energy into other growth areas.
Nonetheless, energy stocks closed 0.6 percent higher, revealing resilience in the face of weaker crude oil prices. Continued...

Continuing a Lincoln High tradition, the One Act cast and crew of Euripides' play "The Trojan Women" brought home a first place district trophy which qualified them to compete in the state competition on December 13th.
Although the play got third at State, Director Justin Holbein said, "According to the Nebraska Scholastic Activities Association we were the most professional and polite theatre group that had gone through all week."
Holbein added, "The whole idea is just to get there. Whatever happens when you get there, you can't control, but at Lincoln High we're not about wins and losses; we're about theatre."
Not only did the group as a whole get third, but five actors got Superior Acting Awards. Those students were juniors Tom Witzki, and Kevin Tran, and seniors Abbie Austin, Madeleine Miller, and Lillian Bornstein. "We were professional," Holbein said.
"We were Lincoln High Theatre doing what we do."

Google responds to enterprise fears
Google has responded to criticisms of its Desktop 3 Beta software after its filesharing feature was branded an "unacceptable security risk".
This Article Covers
Data centre
Google has responded to criticisms of its Desktop 3 Beta software after its filesharing feature was branded an "unacceptable security risk".
IT analyst firm Gartner warned last week that the controversial "search across computers" feature in Google's Desktop 3 Beta, which works by storing an index copy of the information on Google servers for up to 30 days, should not be used.

"Gartner believes that its mere transport outside the enterprise will represent an unacceptable security risk to many enterprises," the analyst said.
Google has responded on its Enterprise blog, admitting that it is in "two minds" about the criticism. The blog says that Google's desktop team had "gone to great lengths to protect users' data and privacy".
But it conceded, "On the other hand… we understand that a company's data is more precious than gold - and you don't go passing your gold around."
The blog points business users to the controls on the Desktop 3 for Enterprise edition, which allow the 'search across computers' function to be disabled.
It echoes Gartner's recommendation that businesses that are not using the Enterprise edition of the software should switch to it immediately.
Google has also added features to the Enterprise edition, including the ability to set time-based document retention policies for different content types.

Do You Speak American?
by Robert MacNeil and William Cran
Publication Date: Dec 28, 2004
List Price: $23.95 (store prices may vary)
Format: Hardcover
Classification: Nonfiction
Page Count: 240
Imprint: Nan A. Talese

Read Nan A. Talese's description of Do You Speak American?
Book Reviewed by Kam Williams
"It is one of the paradoxes of
American life that white America both is fascinated by black culture and
disapproves of it, embracing it and bad-mouthing it simultaneously. Even as it
borrows, however, white America continues to bad-mouth the source, the dialect
that linguists call African-American Vernacular English. Yet this is the speech
of millions of Americans in inner cities all over the United States, a speech
that is remarkably consistent from place to place, more consistent than the
speech of white Americans from city to city."
'Excerpted from Chapter Six
Given the pervasive influence of such modern inventions as television and radio, and the pressures to conform exerted on each successive generation by standardized testing, it is logical to assume that the American language would be turning into a flattened-out, standard English as ubiquitous in nature as McDonalds and Walmart. This was the rebuttable presumption of wordsmiths Robert MacNeil and William Cran, co-authors of The Story of English back in 1986.
Recently, the pair collaborated again, setting out on a journey criss-crossing the United States, fully expecting to learn that overexposure to shared information would have completely homogenized the populace. But lo and behold, they discovered just the opposite, namely, that our different dialects remain stronger than ever.
They filmed their surprising findings and presented them on PBS recently in a program entitled, "Do You Speak American?" And now, they've published a companion volume of the same name, sharing a plethora of fascinating factoids about the state of this nation's language.
For instance, they say that the Southern is the fastest growing accent, with the once-reviled drawl coming into fashion for its folksy, down-to-earth quality. Plus, the authors admit that having three of the last five Presidents hail from the region has helped considerably. MacNeil and Cran also claim that women play more of a role in the evolution of speech patterns than men, and that females tend to be a whole generation ahead of males in adapting to revised pronunciations.
Hispanic immigrants are apparently assimilating at the same rate as ever, with it taking about two generations before a family loses the ability to speak Spanish. As for slang, it apparently enriches, rather than corrodes the culture, with African-Americans having supplied over 1700 generally acceptable words to the mainstream culture.
For all our differences, Do You Speak American? repeatedly drives home the point, in a very convincing, informative and entertaining fashion, that this patchwork quilt of a language we share binds us to each other more than we'd ever suspect.

Buckminster Fuller: A Design Science Evangelist in Minnesota
Mason Riddle
Oct 2013
Earning a standing ovation from a crowd of 5,000, Buckminster Fuller spoke at the University of Minnesota one Monday in 1973 on the role of design scientists in civic problem solving. But the 90-minute talk wasn't the revolutionary thinker's first trip here. As Mason Riddle learns, his many visits between 1953 and 1981 involved him in projects, exhibitions, and the inaugural Earth Day observation.
Jim Hodges and the Eros of the Everyday
Olga Viso
Oct 2013
When she first encountered Jim Hodges's art—a patchwork of silk billowing in the breeze—Olga Viso was struck by how the piece conjured childhood memories. Nearly two decades later, as co-curator of a survey of Hodges's work, she reflects on an artistic practice that's "rooted in modesty, intimacy, and integrity—one that seeks to find the epic in the most mundane as well as the quotidian in the epic."

St. Paul is spearheading a quiet revolution in public art. A 2009 city ordinance includes artists in the regulations by which the city makes and remakes itself. Here, artists don't merely make sculptures and murals to adorn the urban landscape; they have a meaningful role in government. As a result, public art is so deeply placed in the workaday services of the city as to be indistinguishable from them.

Lennon Piano Hits New Orleans
From Daily Kos:
In a world of strife and tragedy, with new sorrows arriving not as single spies, but in battalions, what would you do to spread a message of peace, to offer a hope of healing to those who've braved the darkest days?
What if you had been fortunate enough to purchase one of the most significant musical instruments of a generation, an instrument on which was composed perhaps the greatest anthem to peace and love of all time? Imagine if you somehow use that instrument to heal the world's broken heart.

Gang Violence Prevention
What You Know About Gangs Could Save Your Child's Life
Gangs are a major problem in California. What they do isn't kid stuff. Gang members have destroyed property and committed violent crimes, including maiming and murdering innocent people.
This information can help parents understand why a young person joins a gang and the warning signs that indicate gang membership.
8 Reasons Why Kids Join Gangs
- Low self-esteem
- Lack of identity
- Need to feel important
- Companionship/sense of belonging
- Security
- Lack of positive alternative activities, like sports
- Lack of parental involvement
- Peer pressure
Signals that Can Indicate Gang Membership
- Change in the style of clothing usually worn, or wearing one particular color often.
- Withdrawing from one's family.
- Declining grades and poor school attendance.
- Unexplained money or possessions.
- Tattoos affiliated with a group.
- Use of nicknames.
- Appearance of graffiti on personal articles.
- Contacts with local police.
There are Things Parents Can Do
Don't think that because someone is on the threshold of joining a gang, or is already a gang member, that it is too late to establish positive alternatives
- Establish non-negotiable family rules regarding the use of alcohol, drugs, and gang membership.
- Establish clear guidelines and limits for your children's behavior and their activities.
- Spend time with your children; do things with them and attend functions in which they are involved.
- Respect your children's feelings and attitudes; help them develop a strong sense of self-esteem.
- Seek professional help from a local agency.
- Know your children's friends.
- Meet regularly with school counselors and teachers.
- Educate yourself about gangs and drugs.
For more information, contact your local anti-gang effort, or call the Office of Criminal Justice Planning at (916) 327-3682 and ask for the Gang Violence Suppression Branch.

The city is just big enough to get you around easily and provide for all your needs. The surroundings are versatile and simply stunning!

digital solutions to improve democracy

Joomla is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) and application framework.</p

According to Wikipedia:

TYPO3 is a free and open source content management system as well as a Model–view–controller (MVC) Web Application Development framework written in PHP. It is released under the GNU General Public License. It can run on Apache or IIS on top of Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS/2 or Mac OS X.
 </blockquote

According to Wikipedia:

Plone is a free and open source content management system built on top of the Zope application server. It is suited for an internal website or may be used as a server on the Internet, playing such roles as a document publishing system and groupware collaboration tool.
 </blockquote

From the website:

What is echo?

echo is the instrument for a new kind of participatory democracy […]. Unlike usual Web 2.0 applications, echo provides a clearly structured opinion base and allows for a solution-oriented social collaboration. It unites technical innovation and human scientific knowledge into a unique concept. This helps people to better understand backgrounds and interrelations of topics, jointly make sound decisions and turn them into reality. Accordingly, echo comes with three main functional areas: Discuss – Connect – Act!

Through the combination of these three functional areas, echo establishes a unique virtual space for a fully democratic collaboration, which is able to lead to visible results in everyday life of the people with minimal effort.
 Additionally, by spreading its functionality beyond the limits of individual websites, echo lets all forces be bundled for a sustainable change throughout the whole internet.

echologic is being developed by Berlin, Germany-based echo source e.V.</p

Technology Made Easier for Technology Averse People
While technology seems a clear boon to many people, including elders and people with disabilities, others may find it too intimidating. This article talks about products and strategies that simplify the process of using technology or that provide up-to-date capabilities via familiar products, such as televisions and refrigerators.
Not using current technology may present significant barriers, such as the inability to use an ever-increasing number of services that are only available online: applying for jobs, cutting through governmental red tape, or communicating with banks and other companies. More personal barriers may involve the desire to stay in touch with friends or family members who only communicate via e-mail or other electronic formats.
Resistance to using new technology is particularly high for individuals with Alzheimer's and similar conditions, who may flat-out reject the introduction of any new objects into their environment. For these individuals, the only option to introduce technology may be to use already-familiar objects.
Fortunately, categories of products are evolving around the need to address the needs of people who are technology averse. Several of these are listed below.
- Celery is a way to use email using a fax machine rather than a computer. The user handwrites or types a message and sends it via fax; it appears as an attachment in the email inbox of one or more designated recipients. The recipient can then email a response and have it printed out on the user's fax machine. Users can also access pictures, Twitter, Facebook, and RSS feeds via Celery. A similar service from Hewlett-Packard, Presto, only provides email, and only in one direction: the user can receive but not send emails.
- Several simplified cell phones have been developed with elders in mind, but these can also be used by others who do not wish to have overly complex mobile phones. The best known of these is probably the Jitterbug, which has large buttons, a large-print display, and omits most non-telephone related features of other phones. In addition, all responses can be given by pressing either the Yes or No button, and pressing 0 automatically connects the user with Jitterbug technical support. The Bluechip big button phone has some interesting and unique features, including a flashlight, an FM radio, and a programmable emergency call button.
- Skype is a common way to place free phone calls anywhere in the world, but it traditionally required computer use. Selected televisions and Blu-Ray players now have Skype capabilities, so that individuals can use technology that they're already familiar with to take full advantage of Skype's features.
- Twitter has exceptional potential for allowing useful and discrete communications from inanimate objects. For example, @mytoaster is set up to automatically send messages when bread has been inserted and when the toast is done. The same strategy could be used with a familiar coffeepot owned by someone with Alzheimer's who lives alone; when the pot is lifted, it could send a message to loved ones that the person is awake and active. If the message is not received, it may be an alert that the person needs help. Other applications include GPS-enabled devices that tweet a person's location once per hour (good for people who tend to wander), and refrigerators that tweet an order to the grocery store when the owner runs out of frequently-used products. A slightly more sophisticated option is Buddy Radio, where the user turns a dial on a radio-like device to reflect their mood, and the result is sent out via Twitter.
- Many simplified computer setups have been designed for elders with no prior computer experience. These include Guide, software that provides a simple, large-print interface for word processing, email, etc; InTouchLink, a website that enhances ease of use by listing suggested websites in specific categories; and the A Plus Senior Computer, which is a preconfigured laptop.

A delegation representing some of Britain's biggest companies is to meet Microsoft this week to express concerns over the way the software giant charges its customers.
A delegation representing some of Britain's biggest companies is to meet Microsoft this week to express concerns over the way the software giant charges its customers.
The meeting comes amid unrest with Microsoft's subscription-based licensing agreements for its software that are increasingly seen as poor value for money by many customers.
The secret meeting is understood to have been arranged for this Friday between Microsoft UK's senior management and members of the Corporate IT Forum, a body representing the IT departments of more than 140 organisations. Its members include half the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 indices and collectively they have an annual IT spend of more than £20bn.
The Forum has estimated that Microsoft's subscription-based licensing agreements will have cost its members an extra £880m over the four years since they took effect in February 2002. There is a growing feeling among some of the company's UK customers that they may have to look at alternatives to Microsoft, such as the Linux open operating system.
The meeting will increase the pressure on Microsoft in Europe. The company, whose chief executive officer is Steve Ballmer, is already braced for a large fine tomorrow from Mario Monti, the EU's Competition Commissioner, after a five-year probe into allegations that Microsoft abused its Windows monopoly. The fine is likely to be around £331m.
At the heart of the meeting in the UK is Software Assurance, the subscription-based software licensing regime. Since its introduction there have been concerns among business customers that the fees demanded by Microsoft have left them worse off. Previously customers could upgrade software versions from old to new at less than the full price if they traded in their old versions.
Now, the Software Assurance system requires customers to pay an upfront fee and they are then sent the latest edition when it is released. The alternative to not subscribing is to buy each piece of software fresh each time it is published. One member of the Corporate IT Forum said: "Software Assurance is far too expensive for the business benefits we would gain through upgrades."

Front-loading washers have a seal on the door that prevents water from leaking out the front of the machine. After years of mineral deposits collecting on the seal as well as opening and closing the door, the seal may break down. Small holes and cracks will appear in the seal which lets water leak through. Replacing the seal does not require a professional repairman. Order spare parts from the manufacturer of your machine to ensure a good fit.

Medical science students today were dealing with casualties who had suspected cervical spine injury. Medicine is a team work indeed!
Students in the Math and Engineering Major played jenga in class, trying to solve mechanically which brick to remove based on the loads and the friction imposed on each brick and the translation of the centre of mass of the whole jenga tower.
And in an exercise of putting their knowledge to the test, each student was given a specific problem and they had one hour to present it. They presented a theoretical background, an experimental procedure and then would help the rest of the class solve an exercise. They became the teacher! At the end of class, students selected Thomas to be the one with the best presentation.

Shelley Jackson has her punch line ready.
For months, Ms. Jackson had looked forward to making a trip to New York from her native England with her husband and three children. They arrived in town Thursday afternoon armed with a typical itinerary: Central Park, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty.
But when she returns home to Farnborough Village, she already has an answer for anyone who asks what she saw in New York. ''We couldn't see anything,'' said Ms. Jackson, 41, barely suppressing a chuckle, ''because the lights were out!''
Ms. Jackson's response says much about how many tourists in New York City have reacted to the blackout of 2003. Despite the obvious inconveniences -- closed attractions, long lines at airports -- many visitors to the city reacted with much the same resilience, aplomb, and, yes, good humor of native New Yorkers.
If after terror attacks, the economic downturn and other calamities, perseverance has somehow become encoded into the DNA of residents of the five boroughs, then a bit of it may have rubbed off on those who have visited the city in recent days.Continue reading the main story
Just consider what Ms. Jackson -- who over the past several days has watched many of her fellow tourists sleep on sidewalks, miss Broadway shows and endure mammoth traffic jams -- said of the blackout: ''You just have to go with it.''
And go she did. Like many tourists, Ms. Jackson continued her New York trip as planned -- well, almost. Yesterday, Ms. Jackson; her husband, Mark; and their children, Ben, 11, Jos, 10, and Lydia, 9, tried unsuccessfully to visit the observation deck at the Empire State Building, which was still closed because of the blackout.
Undaunted, the children snapped photos of the building from sidewalk level while she considered other places for the family to visit.
''It's definitely not been the holiday we planned, but we've been very impressed with the plans that were put in place,'' Ms. Jackson said.
That's the kind of response from visitors that city officials were hoping for. Although officials said that it was too early to know the full impact on tourism, the blackout could scarcely have come at a worse time for an industry still trying to recover from the economic recession and the lingering effects of Sept. 11.
However, city tourism officials said that perhaps the blackout might have a different result than one might expect.
''What people outside of New York City could see about us reflected very positively on our mayor, on our leaders, but also on average New Yorkers,'' said Cristyne L. Nicholas, the chief executive of NYC & Company, the city's tourism office. ''Those images of New Yorkers directing traffic and helping each other. Just like after 9/11, you had those horrible images being replayed, but there were also compassionate stories. There were compassionate stories after the blackout, and that helps the image of New Yorkers.''
The blackout did not wear quite so well on some visitors.
''We have another problem,'' Francesco Berardi, 38, of Bari, Italy, said. ''Air France lost our luggage.''
He and his friend Mauro Stasi, 24, arrived in the city shortly before the blackout and on Saturday were wearing New York T-shirts that they had bought for $10 apiece.
''It was a disaster,'' Mr. Berardi said. ''One and half days we have no water, no light.''
Power came back on Friday at the hotel where they are staying, and he expected his baggage to arrive last night.
''We decided to continue with our plans,'' said Mr. Berardi, who was walking south on Broadway, carrying a tourist book of Manhattan in Italian. ''I have a plan with this book.''
He was headed for the Empire State Building in case it might be open. If it wasn't, he said, he would walk around and maybe do some shopping.
Colleen Lewis, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, standing in line for the matinee showing of ''The Lion King'' at the New Amsterdam Theater, said that she, too, continued her trip after the jarring first few hours of the blackout.
''We were going to Carmine's for dinner, and they weren't letting anyone in,'' she said. ''They told us that we needed to find a place to go, because around Carmine's wasn't a good place to be after dark. It was really getting kind of scary.
''My first thought was, 'This would never happen in Cedar Rapids!' ''Continue reading the main story

The Rock n Roll rose produces very unique striped roses. These Grandiflora roses are deep red and creamy white, with splashes and specks of red and burgundy within the white.
It's a bit hard to tell if they are actually white roses striped with red, or red roses striped with white! And to make it even more interesting, the blooms change colors daily!
The white part of the blooms take on a hint of red with age, making them the most amazing roses in the garden!
The above picture was sent in by a reader; Leslie in Victoria, B.C., Canada
She writes; red and white stripes, very fragrant, very hardy
Thanks Leslie for the beautiful picture!
See more reader comments below...
Type Grandiflora
Hybridizer Tom Carruth 2009
Blooms Red and Burgundy with creamy white stripes, has 35 plus petals, old fashioned blooms
Fragrance Strong, rose and fruit fragrance
Foliage Deep Green, glossy foliage- disease resistant
Growth Habits Grows upright, very full and bushy 3-4'
Hardy Zones 5b- 9b
The double form rose flowers begin as creamy white buds, that open to striped red and white roses that are different on each individual flower. Each flower on the bush will have it's on unique pattern of stripes and splashes, that will change with age, giving the bush a most unusual uniqueness. (kind of like the music of a Rock n Roll song!)
The rosebush will grow to a medium height of about 3-4'. It grows upright, but gets bushy, giving you a compact bush with lots of canes for more flowers.
As well as being hardy, this repeat bloomer is a very disease resistant bush.
Besides being a focal point in the garden, the Rock n Roll rose produces wonderful, fragrant cut flowers for the inside of the house. Be sure to pick some for bouquets.
Parentage; George Burns x New Zealand
Reader comments;
Sarah Zone 6b; I love this rose even better than 'Scentimental',which it reminds me of. It made it through a bad winter with lots of snow. I love how the color changes over night.

More than three months before its release, the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has been released, revealing the dilemma the heroine Bella Swan will face in the film when it hits theaters internationally starting June 30.
It will be shown during screenings of Remember Me, the romantic drama starring Twilight's heartthrob, Robert Pattinson.
Team Edward and Jacob fans are a-twittering in anticipation of their heroine's choice between a dangerous love and a good guy, and the dire consequences of this highly important decision in her life, just as she graduates from high school.
Also, there's a fleeting glimpse of Victoria, the vampire ravaging Seattle. The film stars Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, and Dakota Fanning.
