Jewish Studies is one of the most intellectually compelling and broadly relevant fields in the university. At UC Santa Cruz we design research projects and host public events that conceptually redraw the boundaries of Jewish Studies, while encouraging people who may have previously been uninvolved or even uninterested in Jewish Studies to engage with it.Our primary constituents are the thousands of students at UC Santa Cruz, including the twelve hundred who take Jewish Studies courses every year, making it one of the most popular programs in the entire university. We are also committed to creating programs that attract faculty and staff members as well as people from the broader Santa Cruz community.The content of our programming organically integrates the contemporary issues that are most important to our constituents, with a range of perspectives and methods unique to Jewish Studies. In so doing, we place Jewish Studies squarely at the center of the intellectual and cultural life of the campus and illuminate the central role that Jewish creativity has played in helping to shape human civilization for over three thousand years.
One of the most important goals of the Center for Jewish Studies is to build bridges with other disciplines, thereby illuminating the broad relevancy of Jewish Studies to the university and the wider community. In this regard, we have collaborated with a variety of partners on campus, including Mediterranean Studies, Sociology, American Studies, Urban Studies, Literature, and Cultural Studies.
International Connections
In addition to our collaborative work on campus and outreach to the local community, the Center for Jewish Studies has created a vibrant network of links with scholars and institutions in other countries, most notably Israel, France, Hungary, and Italy.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts will start their sixth different offensive line when they take on the Houston Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.
Starting center Samson Satele (elbow) and guard Jeffrey Linkenbach (quad) have been ruled out for the game. Mike McGlynn will slide over from guard and start at center. Hugh Thornton (neck) will return and start at guard after missing last weekend's game at Cincinnati. Joe Reitz will start at the other guard position.
Coach Chuck Pagano also announced Friday that cornerback Greg Toler (groin), fullback Stanley Havili (knee) and defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois (foot) will miss the game.
Sunday will be the seventh straight game that Toler has missed. Pagano is still taking a positive approach that Toler will be back in the lineup before the season ends.
"He's not 100 percent," Pagano said. "Just don't want to throw him out there. Obviously playing the position that he plays, you have to be able to peddle, flip, turn, run, burst, all those things. So it doesn't make any sense to throw him out there until he's 100 percent."
I wrote Thursday that the the Colts should think about shutting Toler down for the season.
Receiver LaVon Brazill is questionable with a foot bruise after he didn't practice this week. There's a chance the Colts will bring Griff Whalen up from the practice squad if Brazill can't play -- leaving them with only four receivers on the active roster.

Daily Business Report-Feb. 17, 2017

General Atomics Completes Important Step
In Making World's Largest Fusion Device
General Atomics on Wednesday completed an important step in what will be the eventual construction a magnetic fusion device — ITER — designed to demonstrate that fusion power is a feasible carbon-free source of energy that can be be realized on a global scale.
The San Diego-based company said it completed construction of the ITER Central Solenoid's 1st module. "GA engineers and technicians have now successfully joined the nearly 240,000 pounds of superconductor that make up the module and are preparing to start the heat treatment process," the company said in announcing the development.
The Central Solenoid is essentially the heart of ITER, the unprecedented international tokamak facility being built in France to pursue fusion energy. Comprised of six modules and standing over five-stories tall, the Central Solenoid will be the most powerful pulsed superconducting electromagnet in the world.
"After spending months carefully winding the seven individual sections of the coil, our team has now completed joining together the four miles of superconductor to form the core of the module," said John Smith, GA's program manager. "Completing the 1st module required a team of dedicated engineers and technicians, which was quite literally a huge undertaking, as the 1st module is approximately the weight of 80 mid-size cars."
Fabrication of the Central Solenoid requires many custom-designed processes, including the 1st module's next step: heat treatment in a furnace reaching temperatures of 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Over the next month, the 1st module will receive this heat treatment to form the superconducting alloy.
"The completion of this critical step in the fabrication process confirms GA's work on the Central Solenoid is on schedule to support ITER's construction," said Smith. "As the 1st module receives heat treatment, GA's ITER team will commence joining the 2nd of the seven modules (one spare). We are immensely proud of our success with the Central Solenoid fabrication process to date, and look forward to our continued contributions to the ITER project."
ITER is a collaborative scientific partnership between 35 nations representing more than half the population of the world. This research and development project aims to build the world's largest tokamak. The U.S. ITER project is a collaboration of over 500 companies, laboratories, and universities across 43 states and the District of Columbia and is hosted by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, and the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences.

USD and Clarity Design Part of Team
Selected for $100 Million Competition
The University of San Diego Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering and San Diego-based Clarity Design Inc. have partnered with the Himalayan Cataract Project, an organization which was recently selected as a semi-finalist for a MacArthur Foundation competition that will award $100 million to solve a global challenge.
The Himalayan Cataract Project works to end blindness in developing countries in Africa and Asia, including the remote regions of Nepal and the Himalaya Mountains.
USD engineering students and Clarity Design have been working on prototypes to diagnose glaucoma in the developing world where limited access to treatment often leads to blindness, unemployment and poverty.
The Himalayan Cataract Project was selected this week from among 1,904 applicants as one of eight semi-finalists for the MacArthur Foundation 100&Change competition. The foundation will select up to five finalists in September to present their proposals during a live event on December 11. The foundation will select a single recipient to receive $100 million over six years.
USD engineering students are working with Clarity Design on the development of two tonometers – one hand held and the other non-contact – to diagnose glaucoma. The teams have completed several prototypes and are focused on making the designs accurate and robust enough for long-term use in the field.

Personnel Announcements
Julio Frizza Appointed Director
of Education for Platt College
When Julio Frizza attended multimedia design courses at Platt College 20 years ago, he never dreamed he would one day serve as the school's director of education. Nonetheless, he is delighted by the turn of events which lead him from the classroom to the dean's office.
In addition to Frizza's Multimedia and Design diploma from Platt College, the new Director has also earned a Bachelor of Arts from University of California San Diego, and his MBA and CPA from universities in Paraguay, where he was born and raised.
"Of all of the schools I've been to, Platt College is the one I've gotten the most from because it's hands-on, direct application of what you're learning," says Frizza in his new office in the administration wing at Platt College. "So much is theoretical and not grounded in real work possibilities, but Platt College is a career college intensely focused on getting students ready to succeed as commercial artists."
In addition to being an alumnus of Platt College, Frizza has also taught graphic design classes at the school, a role that gives him a perspective of the needs of students and faculty alike. "I will continue teaching because I don't want to lose that connection," Frizza says. "Being in the classroom helps me gain a better understanding of what students need to succeed and what faculty need to support them."

|Rags plays with toys without ripping them apart.
Clearly, he does not understand what toys are for.
Anyway, we met Rags in the hallway outside the dog kennels, and we all sniffed each other and sort of got acquainted. Then we went outside in the yard where the shelter dogs play. I pooped right away out there, and so did Rags, and Dorrie peed. After which, we sniffed each other some more. I did not like being in the yard because it was really hot out there, and I started panting.
|Rags meeting Adrian and James, the kittens
Mom was hot, too, and so was Dr. Regan, who went out there with us because she had finished all her surgeries for the day and was helping us meet Rags. Aunt Christine came out there, too. She is the adoption counselor. Anyway, since we were all hot, we went back inside. Then Mom waited in the hall with us three dogs for a while until Aunt Christine had time to do all our paperwork.
Rags was being annoying and way too full of energy. He kept sort of jumping at me like he actually expected me to play with him. So I started snarking at him every time he came near me, and he went and lay down and proved that he could be a calm dog, after all. Mom got a little worried because she thought maybe Rags and I weren't going to get along, but Aunt Christine said I was just setting some boundaries, which is true.
|Rags on our patio
Dorrie thinks Rags is a little too big and too energetic also. Mom hopes Dorrie will get to be friends with Rags and they will play together. But right now, Dorrie thinks Rags is kind of scary. The cats haven't decided for sure what to think of him. Well, except for Audra, who mostly hates all dogs. She is always hissing and swiping her claws at me and Dorrie. I just ignore her, but Dorrie yelps like she is dying, even though I don't think Audra has ever actually touched her.
Anyway, Audra started this "get away from me, you dog" thing with Rags, but he tried to chase her and made a big game out of it. Mom got worried that Rags wasn't going to get along with our kitties after all, but now we think it is just Audra he doesn't get along with. And next week Audra is going back to PetSmart to spend a week or two, and if she gets adopted, we won't have to worry about her anymore.
|Rags and Latifa
Okay, well, here are some more pictures Mom took of Rags on his first day here. I don't really know what I think of him yet, as a brother, so I guess I will just have to wait and see how things turn out.
|Rags running back and forth in the house with his toy

I'm a full-time traveler and I travel light. Very light. 11 pounds of stuff in one bag light. I think that living and traveling as light as possible is so much easier and less of a burden to your body and your mind. Here's a collection of my favorite quotes about minimalism, voluntary simplicity, and traveling light.
"When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money." susan heller
"It is preoccupation with possession, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly." bertrand russell
"He who would travel happily must travel light." antoine de saint-exupéry
"Travel light. Live light. Spread the light. Be the light." yogi bhajan
"We should travel light and live simply. Our enemy is not possessions but excess." john stott
"I travel light. I think the most important thing is to be in a good mood and enjoy life, wherever you are." diane von furstenberg
"Everything you own must be able to fit inside one suitcase; then your mind might be free." charles bukowski
"Stuff is not passive. Stuff wants your time, attention, allegiance. But you know it as well as I do, life is more important than the things we accumulate." dave bruno
"Real wealth, security, and contentment come not from the trinkets we amass but from how we spend the one life we've been given." the minimalists
"The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less." socrates
"Possessions are usually diminished by possession." friedrich nietzsche
"We have lost contact with reality, the simplicity of life." paulo coelho
"Out of clutter, find simplicity." albert einstein
"Any half-awake materialist well knows that which you hold holds you." tom robbins
"Be wary of any enterprise that requires new clothes." henry david thoreau
"Houses are full of things that gather dust." jack kerouac
"I travel light; as light, that is, as a man can travel who will still carry his body around because of its sentimental value." christopher fry
"My greatest skill in life has been to want but little." henry david thoreau
"Let your memory be your travel bag." alexander solzhenitsyn
"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them." paulo coelho
"Living with less comes with massive freedom." courtney carver
"Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify, simplify!" henry david thoreau
"Simplify. Identify the esstential. Eliminate the rest." leo babauta
"Reject the basic assumptions of civilization, especially the importance of material possessions." chuck palahniuk
"Concern yourself less with possessions. Concern yourself more with living." joshua becker

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." leonardo da vinci
"If you own a rug you own too much." jack kerouac
"As long as possible live free and uncommitted." henry david thoreau
"The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things." elise bounding
"The things you own end up owning you." chuck palahniuk
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." albert einstein
"Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like." will rogers
"Simplicity is the essence of happiness." cedric bledsoe
"The best things in life aren't things." joshua becker
"Reduce the complexity of life by eliminating the needless wants of life, and the labors of life reduce themselves." edwin way teale

"Simplicity is an acquired taste. Mankind, left free, instinctively complicates life." katharine fullerton gerould
"Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It's your masterpiece after all." nathan w morris
"Life arrives and departs on its own schedule, not ours; it's time to travel light, and be ready to go wherever it takes us." meg wolfe

To describe the red blend under the Sijnn label from vineyards situated between Malgas and Cape Infanta as "exotic" is something of an understatement. The current-release 2009, for instance, is a blend of 46% Shiraz, 29% Mourvèdre, 13% Touriga Nacional, 6% Trincadeira and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon. Made by co-owner David Trafford at the De Trafford cellar in Stellenbosch, it involved spontaneous fermentation and was matured in a mix of barrels for the first year before being transferred to 700-litre barrels for a further nine months.
I've been a big fan of the wine since the maiden 2007, the vintages to date having a very flamboyant quality about them, both in concept and in execution. The 2009 is probably the best yet: red and black fruit, fynbos and some attractive oak-derived aromatics on the nose. On the palate, the immediate impression is one of how rich and thick-textured the wine is but vibrant acidity soon kicks in. There's plenty of spice to go with the pure fruit and the finish is long and dry. It's a warm and hearty wine, but one that doesn't tip over into rusticity. Score: 17/20. Price: R180.
Tagged David Trafford, De Trafford, Sijnn
I've only ever tasted this wine at shows, but would love to sit down and drink a bottle with someone. It seems like it might well inspire good conversation and change/evolve a bit as one goes through it.

Sticking with the oat theme from last week, I thought I would share these Oatmeal Muffins. I have to constantly change what muffins I make each week to keep my kids happy. I always keep them in in this cake stand so we remember to eat them, and so we can quickly grab one, and because it's pretty:). I like these because I can add several different toppings to meet everyones needs. That means I can make these for a couple weeks in a row, so they can try them all! Sometimes they are in the mood for fruity, sometimes chocolate, sometimes nutty. I really just throw on whatever I have in my house. On this day I topped some with blueberries, chocolate chips, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, raisins, walnuts and dried cranberries.
It's just like oatmeal, put whatever you want inside. I added chia seeds and flax seeds as well. You could top with chopped apples, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, mango or bananas or whatever! Aren't muffins the best? You can eat them for breakfast, lunch snack and dinner. And I love when they are packed with so many great things for your body. I mean, you NEED chocolate right?!
You might also like:
- 2 bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup greek yogurt or just whole plain yogurt
- 3 cups oats
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds
- toppings: blueberries, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, raisins, nuts, apples, bananas, etc..)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl mash the bananas. Mix in eggs, syrup, salt, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon and yogurt.
- Mix in oats and milk. Let sit for a few minutes.
- Spray muffin tin or use liners. Add mixture to each muffin cup about 3/4 full. Add toppings and press them into the mixture. This makes about 16 regular muffins.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Let cool for five minutes.

#SleepHack Twitter Chat
Drug free strategies to sleep healthier
Sometimes getting a good night's sleep can feel like a race – racing to get everything done that needs to get done so we can get to bed at a decent hour. But there's always one more load of laundry or an email marked urgent or – fill in your own blank here – that's a must-do before light's out. And when we sacrifice our sleep for those must-do's we suffer. Our pain can range from a body that hasn't been recharged fully to a mind that's unable to focus, which leads to accidents and, in extreme cases, risk of disease and death.
The path to a good night's sleep is anything but a race. It's actually more of a slowing down, a conscious decision to step off the hamster wheel and let the world carry on without us for a few hours. The trouble is, getting to that path is different for everyone. And that's why we're thrilled to announce our first ever sleep chat on Twitter. Social media allows us to connect with people and experts we may not otherwise meet. Joining up with those folks allows us to tap into their expertise and help ourselves get a better night's sleep.

* When burning your candle for the first time, make sure it is lit for approximately 2/3 hours. This will form a good sized 'melting pool' which provides maximum scent
* For best results, keep the wick trimmed to around 1/4 inch. Trimming the wick at regular intervals, or before each burn, will help consume the candle evenly and avoid damaging the glass by producing too high a flame (View our Wick Trimmers here)
* If the flame is too small, extinguish it with a candle snuffer and carefully pour out excess wax
* Use a candle snuffer to extinguish all candles, as it is the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering (View our Candle Snuffers here)
* Burning times can be extended even further by storing in a cool place prior to burning
* Allow the candle to solidify before relighting
* Always protect the surface on which the candle rests and ensure it is lit on an even surface
* Take care not to leave lit candles unattended
As part of our sustainable practices we encourage you to recycle. All Ancienne Ambiance packaging can be put into household recycling bins or taken to a recycling centre.

The best way to teach students begins with cultivating a friendly relationship with them with foundations on trust, confidentiality and respect. Most tutors fail to recognize that students rarely admit that they have issues with their academics and therefore they require help. It is therefore the responsibility of the tutor to create a positive environment which will encourage the student to seek help. To be a good tutor you must earn trust from your students and build conversations. Chatting makes students more comfortable to present their problems.
It may seem meaningless though a problem is being solved though the chat. Take a pause within each lesson to have a personal chat with students. This will make them comfortable with you. Empathy will be your main weapon as you feel their pain and have a taste of their predicament. Apart from school work it is important to spend time with your students to establish their weaknesses and make them trust you. Show your students that you care about their welfare by following up with their parents, updating them about the student's progress.
Learning is a process and if your students are to be comfortable with you, you have to be patient and supportive. Sometimes, is wise to slow down a lesson when teaching complex concepts. Always reassure your students that you are there to help them get on the right track. Flexibility is a basic principle of service. Sometimes your students haven't completed homework which was difficult or require a crash course before exams; always make yourself available in these situations.

[Meta-note:] I was browsing the question page, getting really tired of "DIVS vs Tables" "When to use tables vs DIVS" "Are Divs better than Tables" "Tables versus CSS" and all the questions that ask THE SAME THING OMG PEOPLE but I would like to see all the ways people tackle the translation of the canonical example of "why you should give up and use tables":
 Name
 <input>
 Social Security Number
 <input>
What I usually do is :
Param 1
<input id="param_1" name="param_1">

Param 2
<input id="param_2" name="param_2">

and in a CSS :
label,input { display: block; float: left; margin-bottom: 1ex; }
input { width: 20em; }
label { text-align: right; width: 15em; padding-right: 2em; }
br { clear: left; }
Of course, you'll have to define the width according to your actual data :-)
display: block, so that it can be assigned a size and be lined up.
float: left because Explorer does things a bit differently
br so that there's a
clear: left somewhere, and I remember that putting it on the label didn't work on some browser.
Plus, with the
br you get a nice formatting even if the browser does not support CSS :-)

TropicMoon10 posted...Sergei_Dukanov posted...Hmmm, cant remember the last time live went down
wat. Steam has like 30 sales a week. You don't have to look because they're shoved down your throats. 66% off star wars and 75% activision weekend? It's been all over steam all week. There is literally never a moment when steam doesn't have a sale. I'm not even sure there are words to convey how dumb what you just said was and have you actually understand.
And since when does buying a game on sale make you poor? Since when does paying more for a game make you better? Did you graduate highschool? Because there's no way someone that's not 15 could make this statement, and even then I'm sure most 15 year olds wouldn't say it either.

errr, diablo 2? starcraft? League of legends? Counterstrike? You know, the most popular games in the world?
Let's not even talk about why a majority of games that are not pc exclusive are all around better on pc, and why having a keyboard and a mouse is light years better for FPS games and how someone with a controller will never kill someone with a keyboard and mouse.

Never said about being poor, if you cant afford a $60 extra bucks a year, then you have bigger issues. I never said the sales were dumb or unwelcome. Its just the same crap games over and over. And just because a game has a TON of players does not mean that it is good. A game that I adore might be something that you hate. Everyone has different tastes. Its about quality and not quantity. Thats whats wrong with steam lately. Its a avalanche of the same games with different skins. Maybe one or two might pop out, but thats it. But hey, if owning a million steam games means that much to you, then go right ahead. I buy games that peak my interest, not something thats "OMG SALES HAVE TO BUY!!!!".
And plus, why are we arguing on an internet board? It wont prove nor solve anything.

I don't pretend that Valve is only as bad as EA. I realize that Valve is the single worst company in gaming, and has more or less killed PC gaming. Origin is bad, but Steam started every one of its problems.

Oh please, if anything, Steam fanboys are the ones who keeps making excuses for Valve's incompetence. Steam lacked basics features like the ability to change install locations and uninstall DLC until very recently. If it happened with any other client, they would've been crucified for their shortcomings, but since it's Valve, they'd just blame the fabled "Valve Time".

From my experience. Origin is immensely worse than Steam is. And valve has more game selection and sales than EA gives BY FAR. This is all facts and been proven ro be true. So I don't know if you were high or drunk when you worte this. Or possibly even both but what you say is false.

Steam got me back into gaming. Period. The convenience and affordability is unrivaled (or it used to be before sites like Amazon and GMG started competing). It's because of that I built myself a gaming capable PC and am enjoying every game I possibly want and more.
I'm never going to blindly defend Valve for everything they do. Of course they're not some sort of charity. They're a business with only profit in mind. But the way they handle business always benefits the consumer as well. And it would be incredible if every company worked that way.

Hmmm, cant remember the last time live went down, but I am tired of having to update steam every time I use it. Which is around once or twice a week. Just cant get into PC gaming for some odd reason tho.
Updates will always be a inconvenience, no matter what you play :( it's not fun when you have limited game time and there is a hour+ update to download and install.

LOL, Valve's support doesn't even have a chat service or telephone support like EA does. They even once disabled my entire Steam account because chargeback issue, one that was later reveal to be a false alarm.
Warz when it very first released prior to the bad word of mouth though that one I actually was able to get refunded.
It wasn't defective. The game ran IIRC. The game was crappy which is a whole other matter.

It is that time of year and gardeners all around the Pacific Northwest are already thinking about what they will grow in their vegetable garden this year. Now is the time to get those seeds started to make sure your veggies have plenty of time to grow and ripen before fall rolls in. You will find everything you need to get a jump on your spring planting at Greenwood Hardware.
Some vegetables require a longer growing season than the mild Pacific Northwest climate can provide, which is why starting early and taking advantage of every warm summer day is crucial to a successful harvest. Some of the seeds you will want to start now indoors, so they are ready to go in the garden in early June are as follows.
- Tomatoes
- Peppers
- Melons
- Pumpkins
- Cucumbers
- Squash
- Onions
You will need to pick up some supplies to get your vegetable garden off to a great start.
- Seeds
- Seed starting soil (this is different than potting soil)
- Seed trays (you can also use small pots)
- Plant markers and a waterproof pen to mark each of the seed pots
- Grow light—this is an excellent tool, especially for the cloudy spring weather
- Heated seed mats—not absolutely necessary, but can improve germination and speed up germination times
- Spray bottle for gently dampening the soil
Once you have your supplies, you are ready to plant your seeds. Place the seed trays in a sunny window or a greenhouse. Small greenhouses that fit on your deck or patio are perfect. These are inexpensive and can be used every year.
Keep the seeds moist throughout the germination period. You may need to transplant your seedlings to larger pots if the weather isn't quite ready for your plants to be put in the garden. Container gardening is also an excellent option and allows you to grow vegetables right on your back patio. You can move the plants indoors when temperatures are going to be cool to protect the plants.
Head into Greenwood Hardware to pick up everything you need to get your vegetable garden off on the right foot this year! Come on in, or contact us today.

Ranger Unit Update
By Ranger Officer Steven Perkins
Salt River Police Department
First, let me say thank you to those who commented on my previous Ranger Bureau article in Au-Authm Action News. It was my first.
Bald Eagles
We have a new bald eagle's nest along the Salt River. You will not be able to get too close to this nest. Again, I have been asked by federal and local agencies, as well as the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Department (EPNR), to encourage you to enjoy our eagles from a distance of 250 feet or more. So bring your binoculars.
This is their nesting time when they are laying eggs, and absolutely no one should be in the area of the nests. The Community is very fortunate to have eagle watchers, and they will call the police if they see anybody or any vehicle near an eagle's nest. If the bald eagles are disturbed, they will leave and could abandon their eaglets (chicks).
We have received several inquiries about dogs in the Community. There have been a lot of Community members stating that a dog was simply dropped off at a location and wondering if that is a violation of law. The answer is yes, it could be a violation of Salt River Community Ordinance 12-27 or Arizona Revised Statutes 13-2910. Should you observe someone "dropping off" a dog, please call the Salt River Police Department at (480) 850-9230 and try to provide specific information such as location, vehicle description, license plate number, and person(s) involved or observed.
We have also received inquiries about dog licensing laws or leash laws. According to SRO 12-24, any dog older than four months must have a current license and collar, or else if picked up it will go to doggy jail (Animal Control). Please get your dogs vaccinated for their health and yours, and get them licensed.
Range Report
The wildlife is flourishing; I have seen a lot of birds (quail and dove), bobcats and coyotes. When hunting ducks and geese, all hunters (including Community members) must have in their possession a Migratory Bird Stamp. You can purchase the stamp at any sporting goods store that sells Arizona Game and Fish licenses. If someone is caught without a valid license and/or stamp while hunting, they may be in violation of federal law and subject to arrest.
Wood Permits
People have asked where to get their wood-cutting permit. Please go to the SRPD Administration Building (the old Finance building, east of the Community Court building). Please bring your Tribal ID and the staff can usually provide you with a permit while you wait. Always have your Tribal ID with you wherever you are out on the range or at the river.
With all of the rain lately, many of the roads at the river have been washed out, so please drive safely!
Have a safe and happy visit to the river. A few reminders:
• ALWAYS watch your kids around water.
• Please use caution with fires at the river.
• Alcohol is not allowed at the river.
Above all, BE SAFE and call the Salt River Police Department if you need any assistance.
This is your Community, so go out and enjoy it—be safe and be kind to the environment.

A heavily pregnant woman was hospitalised after a loyalist mob attacked motorists in Derry on Monday evening.
The mother-to-be was terrified for the well-being of her unborn baby when her car was accidentally struck by another vehicle trying to escape the "baying mob" in the Waterside. The motorists were driving home from work when they were attacked by a section of a loyalist crowd protesting over the Belfast City Hall union flag row.
The 42 year-old father of two, who was driving the car which struck the woman's vehicle, told the 'Journal', he feared for his life as angry protesters turned violent. The attack happened as he was moving off from the traffic lights at the junction of Glendermott Road and Rossdowney Road. "They jumped out in front of me and a bottle was thrown, it bounced off the front of the car. They shouted get him, get him. They surrounded the car and one of them was kicking the door, he was really booting it in. As one of them tried to grab the door handle to open the door, I panicked and reversed straight into the woman behind. She was heavily pregnant and was very badly shaken," the said.
The woman, who works as a carer in the community, said she was horrified. "They were like vultures, they surrounded his car so quickly. He panicked, which is a totally natural reaction in the circumstances and it was in no way his fault. They were like animals with their hoods up and scarves covering their faces. Some of them looked no more than 14 or 15 years old."
She added: "As the car in front hit me the seatbelt jolted violently on my bump and I didn't know what to think. I went straight to hospital where I spent seven hours, four in A and E and three in the foetal assessment unit.
"As I have a rare blood type - I'm Rhesus negative and my partner is Rhesus positive - I have to be extra careful in terms of my baby's safety in case our blood mixes. So far I've been given the all-clear but I'm going back for more tests tomorrow."
She spoke of being "absolutely terrified" when one of the mob tried to open her car door.
"Thankfully my car locks automatically but I could hear them shouting 'get the cars, get the cars'. It was a completely random attack - there could have been young children in the car. It would not have mattered to them.
"It is disgusting to think that people would do such a thing over the head of a flag."
The mob "backed off" following the collision and the victims drove to the safety of nearby Rossdowney Park and alerted the police.
SDLP MLA Mark H Durkan said the behaviour of the attackers was "disgraceful".
"While I am not in any way opposed to peaceful protests, this incident shows the potential serious repercussions of the actions of protestors." Mr Durkan also called for "stronger leadership from within political unionism" to help avoid such street violence. "There are unionist politicians who condemn the violence but at the same time they keep stirring the pot."
"People in Derry are more interested in us (MLAs) discussing jobs, health and other matters which affect people's lives rather than debating divisive issues such as the flying of flags."
Police have appealed for anyone with information on the attacks to contact them at Strand Road station on 0845 600 8000.

Stocks are still hovering near their all time highs. In fact, the S&P 500 is less than 1% away from their all time highs. While this may be the case, the bearish action in the market cannot be denied. The last two trading days, the markets have opened at a new all time high. Each day, the market has sold off sharply and closed on the negative side. This price action screams of institutional selling and distribution. The market is rolling over each day on extremely light volume which is unusual.Another reason for this gap and crap type market action is the looming Federal Reserve policy statement next week. A growing concern of a pull back announcement in QE is causing some of this institution selling. Many top Wall Street players believe the Federal Reserve will announce that they will stop printing $85 billion per month, instead lowering it to $65 billion. The fear of this reduction seems to be causing profit taking.Lastly, the markets are trading at all time highs with earnings that are not exactly stellar. Just today, stocks like Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM), iRobot Corporation (NASDAQ:IRBT), Panera Bread Co (NASDAQ:PNRA) are down sharply on earnings. Earnings all season have been anything but stellar, definitely not justifying the stock market levels seen lately.This market is choreographing a pull back. Be warned. Read the charts, it says it everywhere. Gareth SolowayInTheMoneyStocks.com
Oh please you said this months ago and guess what YOU WERE WRONG. You know who was right? Me. I said the market would correct 5-7% and move sideways until earnings caught up and that is what has happend.
Gareth stop the con. Pity that TMF lets you spam your nonsense.
And markets set all time new highs today.

I heard these lyrics the other day, and I immediately started to cry.
Before, you even say it, yes, a lot of things make me cry, but this, this was a different cry, even for me.
'Love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections'
– All of Me, John Legend.
Perfect imperfections.
How perfect is that?
I will admit however, that prior to this song, I had no idea who John Legend was.
Or maybe I did, I don't even know.
The point I'm trying to make is that people aren't perfect.
I'm not perfect.
Gasp! Such a revelation, I know. (insert eye roll)
It's taken a long, long time for me to shed my tough exterior and accept that.
The revelation came to me years ago, but I held on.
I held on to the idea that I could be the one who was not only perfect, but the one that had the perfect life to go with my oh-so-perfect attitude.
But we're not perfect, are we?
There are perfect imperfections in all of us.
I've had moments when this has been so glaringly obvious, but none like my days as a mother.
Parenting is like a punch in the face. In the most rewarding way, of course.
Parenting has brought me down a notch, so to speak, on many levels.
Maybe even a few notches.
Okay, fine – a lot of notches.
The point being, that parenting has made me far, far from perfect, and I couldn't be more thankful.
You see, my kids have taught me the art of being humble.
Nothing humbles you faster than having to apologize to your children time and time again for being an asshole. All while snot is running down your face from the ugly cry you've been doing since realizing you were behaving like said asshole.
So, yes, I've been brought down a notch or two, maybe even ten.
Humility has been the key to living a life that is free. Free from all the self-condemnation. Free from all the constant pressure I put on myself for years and years. All of that made me hard. Callous even. Cynical for sure.
The art of being humble is complicated though.
According to the internet, it involves being less self-absorbed in a world that relishes in self.
It means being assertive and strong, while not being aggressive. It does not mean being a doormat.
It involves celebrating and truly loving others, while celebrating yourself with grace.
Humility means having a realistic view of who you are, even when others tell you you're awesome possum!
But we're not perfect, and maybe not even as awesome possum as others tell us.
We're full of perfect imperfections.
And it's okay.
Humility allows me the freedom to look my children in the eye, after yet another mom-meltdown, tell them I love them, and most importantly, apologize to them for my behaviour.
Then it's at that exact moment that they choose to teach me yet another lesson.
A lesson in grace.
They unconditionally love and unconditionally forgive.
They forgive without hesitation and without a second thought.
And it's humility that allows me the freedom to accept their love, their grace and to forgive myself.
Humility. Love. Grace.
Three words that have changed my life, my heart, my soul.
Three words that allow me to love all the perfect imperfections life has to offer.
Perfect imperfections. How absolutely perfect.
And now, it's the perfect time for me to google John Legend – I can't help but feel like I've been missing out on something there.

I was 17 when the Family Medical Leave Act passed. Newly graduated from high school, heading off to college, I had a plan. The pieces of the plan later fell into place much like I envisioned when I was a doe-eyed high school graduate, just as so many girls in the 80s and 90s believed these similar things would and should and could happen: college, career, graduate school, marriage, career, baby, career, happiness, success, memories. We didn't just think they would and could happen, we were told it was all possible.
The narrative of this story hasn't unfolded how I thought it would, however. Let's review:
Education – check.
Marriage – check.
Healthy babies – check.
Don't I have it all?
Well, it depends. The fairy tale got convoluted because though we are a nation that prides itself on the rights of women and girls, a nation where "family values" is a favorite buzz-word for politicians, where we've recently seen two women attempt to run for the highest and second highest office in the land and where our health leaders preach the importance of breast is best for baby, it turns out maybe we are just really good at rhetoric.
See, we love breasts during the Super Bowl. Breasts are best in movies.
But breasts need not disrupt business hours. Nurse your baby exclusively, don't you dare expect to get formula after you've delivered a baby in New York City but get your ass back to work and don't complain that we aren't paying you while your vagina heals from child birth — this is what our actions say to new mothers.
Turns out, once you start personally experiencing what it's like to have a baby in this country and then try to manage that baby with a career, using the right words is meaningless when the actions that muddy our personal narrative do nothing to support the words. No one says that when they tell an American teenage girl the sky is the limit and she is just as good as a boy. In my own personal experience, I was lucky to have some paid maternity leave but it was the return to work and the inflexible employer towards the demands of babies on time during business hours that ultimately fed my departure.
Earlier this week, the Washington Post , in a piece about the 20th anniversary of the Family Medical Leave Act, profiled one Montgomery County woman who lost her job after she had an emergency C-section, a hysterectomy and then tended to her newborn in the intensive care unit for one month. Pretty sure, when she was growing up, no one told that local mom how easy it would be for a woman to get fired because she got pregnant, had a medical emergency and took care of her baby. The reality is, millions of people in this country are impacted by our weak and pathetic system in place to support families, and somehow we keep electing the very people who do nothing about it.
Back to the same old question, the one that few of us were prepared for when we imagined our fairy-tale future: How can we possibly "have it all" when we don't have laws to protect us and support us?
Clearly, I am reluctant to call the Family Medical Leave Act progress. Exactly what is "progress" about being one of three countries that doesn't offer paid maternity leave? And what else has changed legislatively since its implementation 20 years ago? What I can do is offer five perspectives on navigating your way to "having it all":
1. Beware the seduction of "having it all."
For she is but a temptress fed by the media. Talking about her makes for excellent web site traffic because just the phrase incites confusion and anger in most parents. The trouble is, the overly-simplistic idea of "having it all" suggests there is an "all" – and more importantly, that the "all" is a universal "all." Here's the truth: what works for you probably doesn't work for me. What you need to feel fulfilled is different than your best friend. Just as the way we all parent varies. Rather than seeking "it all," I think we would all benefit from focusing exclusively on what works for ourselves, our partners and our children. What do each of them need from us and what do we need? How can we achieve what we want professionally and personally and feel proud? Do you have the courage to ask for what you need at work and do you have the courage to be honest with yourself and then see it through? This ties nicely into topic #2.
2. Screw balance and instead find your boundaries.
First, no one ever feels balanced once they have a baby, unless you think extra weight, less sleep, odd fitting shoes and being chronically late conjures of feelings of balance and peace. Let's divert the conversation from balance and instead focus on boundaries. We make choices in work, at home, in social planning, in registering our kids for classes, in agreeing to take on school auction projects, and so on. The list of options is endless. Each choice has a consequence. Just be realistic about the trade-offs of your choices. Use your voice to confidently carve out boundaries that fulfill what you and your children need – not what you think others want from you. Someone always wants something. Only you can decide what and how much they get. This includes children. Own it and don't apologize for the choices you make as long as you make them honestly and realistically.
3. Don't covet thy neighbor's situation. Otherwise known as "grass is greener" syndrome.
See that stay-at-home mom in her yoga pants picking up the paper at the end of the driveway while you're tearing down the street worrying about getting to work on time and fretting because you're leaving your baby for nine hours? Wow, don't you wish you had her life?
Beware these thoughts. As someone who has been a full-time working mom, a stay-at-home mom, a part-time working mom and a mis-mash of full and part-time from home, beyond being erratic in my own decisions, I can tell you — there are many days when that asshole boss couldn't hold her own against that asshole boss who is 18 months old. Here's the hard cold truth: The grass is always greener when you aren't at peace with the choices you've made in your own life. Figure out what's stirring those feelings and you'll avoid the unnecessary judgment and idealistic vision of what you perceive someone else to have.
4. Know your tribe. Proactively help them.
Enter the importance of a community and the recognition that other parents are your tribe not your enemy or your competition. Hear about a mom in your neighborhood who just had a baby? Did you bring her dinner? See an email about a kid in class who has a sick parent or a traveling parent or a sick sibling? Did you invite that child over for a play date to give those parents a break? See that new mom struggling with her work schedule as she's transitioning back to work after having a baby? Did you go talk to her and offer to help and just ask her how she's doing? Pay it forward because the catch with parenting is this: You never get warning when you're going to need others. And need others you will. We all do. It's Murphy's law for parenting that children all come down with the norovirus when you have a traveling partner and a major deadline at work. Going out of your way to support the parents around you, even though you probably don't have the extra time or energy, will return itself in the future. You just don't know it yet. Part of having it all comes from supporting each other.
Unless you married a lazy asshole, and hopefully you didn't, don't forget about Dad. He cares about his baby too. He wants to know how to take care of her without a note from you and guess what – he gets to do it his way – which will always be different from your way in some form. Make sure he knows the pediatrician's phone number, where the baby Tylenol is stored and what the nap schedule is. Let him volunteer in the preschool classroom, handle pick up and register Johnny for a few classes. Dad's role is critical and when mothers take all of it on, it becomes that much more difficult for her to ever have it all because she's so busy doing it all, usually not too happily. Not to mention, until more dads speak up and demand workplace flexibility, our cultural attitude towards working hours won't change. Babies and children have needs during the business day, so expect him to share in being available during business hours like you are expected to be when things arise. Odds are, he wants to be but we are still a culture that defers to mom. Be mindful about your role in enabling this and then changing it.
The question I am left wondering is, twenty years from now, when my girls are 24 and 27, will we have made some actual progress? Join me on Facebook to keep up with this conversation and other fun.

Anthropologist Margaret Mead once said that "a very large number of human beings--probably a majority--are bisexual in their potential capacity for love," and if this is any indication of our society then "The Bisexual's Guide to the Universe" is the official roadmap for the future of sexual openness. Considered an "exciting and sexy journey into the vast universe of bisexuality," this book defies convention and rescinds labels by challenging the "heterosexual, gay, and lesbian status quo with gleeful abandon."
Organized by experience level from beginner through advanced, authors Nicole Kristal and Mike Szymanski will guide you through an irreverent mix of "quips, tips, and lists for those who go both ways." Regardless of orientation you will laugh and learn from this "cheeky and celebratory" text with 'bi-storical' facts such as origins of the b-word, famous fence-sitters, a myriad of statistical and clinical data, to pop quizzes that will help you brush up on your bi pop culture and discover where you fall on various sexuality scales.
The "playful, tongue-in-cheek romp" also offers sound advice for coming out, dating guidelines within the paradigm of multiple sexualities, personal hygiene tips, and of course sexual relationships strategies regarding threesomes, orgies, toys, and more. A must-have for anyone who wants to learn the advantages of being bi and experience the best of both worlds whether you're bisexual, queer, pansexual, or none of the above.
Catalog ID: ENT32524
See The Bisexual's Guide to the Universe image.
A fun and interesting book about bisexuality and how to fit into the bipolar world we live in. A worthy investment if you want a laugh.
This book is fun and entertaining, full of lists, quizzes, and humorous anecdotes about what being bisexual is supposedly all about. It may be good for someone who doesn't know anything about bisexuality to be introduced to it in a lighthearted way. However, those searching for more serious material or for real-life advice should look elsewhere.

Just beyond the border: Israel's initiatives to help Syrian refugees
- Published: Thursday, 16 February 2017 10:00
- Written by Shiran Cohen, Guest Columnist
The issue of border security and whether or not it's safe to welcome refugees is a hot topic in the United States. It's something Israelis have been concerned about since before the birth of the Jewish State in 1948. Today, many Israelis are concerned about the plight of Syrian refugees.
The Jews have a long history in Syria. Our tradition tells us Jews were in Syria since the time of King David and certainly since early Roman times. Jews started settling in Syria after they were expelled from Spain in 1492 and quickly took a leading position in the Jewish community.
Most Syrian Jews immigrated to Israel following the War of Independence in 1948. One of these families was my grandfather's family, which made Aliyah to Jerusalem from the city of Halab.
Since 1948, Israel has been in a state of war with Syria. The countries have fought three major wars — the Arab-Israeli War in 1948, the Six-Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Efforts to make peace over the years have not been successful.
Today, Syria is facing a devastating civil war. That conflict grew out of the unrest from the 2011 Arab Spring and escalated to armed confrontation after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government violently repressed the rebellion. The Syrian government has since refused efforts to negotiate with what it describes as terrorist groups. International organizations have accused the Syrian government, ISIL and rebel groups of horrendous human rights violations, including massacres.
Syria's armed conflict has caused the worst worldwide refugee crisis since World War II. The violence in Syria has caused millions to flee their homes. In figures released in September 2016 by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 4.8 million have fled to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq, and 6.6 million are internally displaced within Syria. Israeli news reports claim that nearly a half million citizens have died during the unrest.
Driven by their commitment to "never again," Israelis have undertaken several initiatives to help the people on the other side of the border. While Israelis are not allowed to visit or enter Syria, there is a safe zone in southern Syria where Israelis, with the help of the IDF, can provide some humanitarian help. For example, more than 2,000 Syrians have been treated in Israeli hospitals since 2013. The State of Israel is also proceeding with plans to bring 100 orphaned Syrian refugees to Israel as permanent residents, integrating them into Arab-Israeli families. The children's immediate relatives will be considered for refugee status as well.
There are other examples of how Israelis have helped Syrians. Amaliah — an Israeli organization whose mission is to support projects that create partnership, stability and prosperity with the Middle East and promote a safe zone in Southern Syria — provides food, medical aid, water and educational programs. A group of Israeli civilians known as Just Beyond our Borders provides much needed emergency aid to Syrian children. In yet another example, more than 30 Israeli chefs are coordinating efforts to cook Syrian dishes and will donate the proceeds to the Karam Foundation to help Syrian refugees.
As I stated earlier, most of the Israelis who support those initiatives are driven by the memory of the Holocaust. The same memory that lives in our hearts and makes us strong also makes us sensitive to the pain of others.
Shiran Cohen is the Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City's Israel emissary. The 28-year-old grew up in Kiryat Yam and proudly served three and half years in the IDF where she was a lieutenant in the Moran special artillery unit. She still serves as part of a reserve unit.

Summit push is on !
Bill and Ade woke to clear weather on Wednesday morning and set off for the South Col. Ade decided it would be best to return to camp and rest and regroup preparing for another attempt tomorrow. Everybody climbs their own mountain and it's imperative to pay attention to your body. Bill, Pemba, Nima, and Jangbu continued on up to Camp 4. The windswept shoulder at 26,300 is a significant step in every expedition. Here climbers cross into the 8,000 meter zone where the human body will simply not recover. Every moment counts at this altitude and the High Adventures Expedition team is making their time count by pushing on. After a few hours rest and rehydration at the South Col, the team set off for the summit at 7PM. They have twelve hours of hard work ahead of them and all of our thoughts and prayers behind them!

Chris and Kim
"I know you say it a lot and I also feel it a lot — that you love me as I love you. And as a bonus, with everyone present, with videographers and photographers, I'll say it so you have on record, "You're right." That's the last you hear of it. (laughter)"
With unscripted vows and a dip kiss — both ways, Chris and Kim's wedding is carefree, real and genuine.
