WALLACE: And hello again, from Fox News in Washington.
President Obama was out campaigning this week, pushing his plan to boost the economy buy helping the middle class, and attacking Washington as too focused on, quote, "phony scandals." Republicans say they have heard it all before.
On Friday, I sat down with Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.
WALLACE: Secretary Lew, welcome back to "Fox News Sunday."
TREASURY SECRETARY JACK LEW: Good to be with you, Chris.
WALLACE: President Obama keeps calling for more spending to pay for infrastructure, to pay for education, to pay for clean energy -- all things he's been pushing for almost two years and all things that Republicans have repeatedly rejected. The president says that the GOP's attempts to repeal ObamaCare over and over again are meaningless. Isn't this just as meaningless?
LEW: You know, Chris, I think what the president has been talking about this week, what' he's going to be talking about in the coming weeks is what we need to do to build a better future for America's middle class, how to have a future of better opportunity for jobs, how to have security in education for your children, and health care, and retirement security, how to be secure in your home. These are the things that the American middle class worry about, and it's what they want us in Washington to worry about.
So, we will keep talking about these things because it's what the American people need for us to do.
WALLACE: But isn't it just as meaningless as -- because it's been rejected, whether it's good ideas or not, as the Republican continue to talk about repealing ObamaCare. That's not going to happen either.
LEW: I have worked in Washington for quite a few decades. I don't know a lot of people on either side of the aisle who don't believe in infrastructure. And I don't know a lot of people on either side of aisle who don't believe in educating the next generation.
WALLACE: But they think that we have a deficit problem and that we can't afford to spend more money.
LEW: Chris, I think that if you look at where we are today, you have to realize we're not where we were in 2011. We've actually worked together, it's been a messy process, but we've worked together and we've reduced the deficit considerably. In the Budget Control Act, we reduced the deficit on the discretionary spending side. This year, at the beginning of the year, we enacted some tax legislation that raised the tax rate of the very top for the highest income.
We still have more work to do and the across-the-board cuts that kicked in are not good policy, we think they should be replaced by sensible alternative entitlement and tax reforms, but we've actually accomplished roughly the amount of deficit reduction we all set out to accomplish a few years ago. We're now arguing about the composition.
We need to get on with the business of the American people who don't want us arguing about the numbers. They want us to build a better future for the American middle class.
WALLACE: Let's talk, though, about the budget because the government runs out of money on September 30th, which raises the possibility of still another drama and another government shutdown. And while the president talks about higher taxes and more spending or investment as he puts it, the GOP says that the sequester must stay in place, $109 billion in the next fiscal year, starting in October, maybe reconfigured, but $109 billions, plus billions of dollars more in spending cuts. They say cut spending.
Other than the Republicans surrendering, what's your plan to avoid a government shutdown?
LEW: You know, Chris, if you look at what's going on right now, in terms of our deficit, we are reducing the deficit at the fastest rate since the demobilization after World War II we need to talk about growth. We need to talk about how do we build that better future for America's middle class.
WALLACE: So, are you saying we don't have a deficit problem anymore? We're $16 trillion in debt, sir.
LEW: Well, I'm telling you that we have a set of short term and long term challenges. And the short term, if you look at the amount of deficit reduction we're doing, we're just criticized by the IMF for doing too much too soon, that we should do more later and less now. In the international community -- I just came back from meeting with finance ministers around the world -- there's I think a consensus in the world community that we need to focus on growth, that you cannot just cut your way to growth. You need to have policies in the short term, which help the economy grow, and medium and long-term reforms that put things in the right place for the long-term.
WALLACE: Well, Republicans would agree that you need more growth. They'd say the way to do it is to lower taxes and to reduce the regulatory burden.
Let me ask you a specific question --
LEW: We have seen the result of both approaches. That approach did not work.
WALLACE: Well, we'll talk about the Obama approach and how much that's worked in a moment.
But, the Republicans say, we want the sequester. That was part of the deal of the Budget Control Act that you talked about, the response in 2011 -- $109 billion in spending cuts in the next fiscal year starting in October.
Will the president sign a government bill, a funding bill, a continuing resolution or some kind of budget bill that includes $109 billion in spending cuts even if it's configured?
LEW: Chris, the president has made clear, he's told Congress he will not sign a bill, if it fixes defense at the expense of domestic spending. I think we've seen in the House, the Republicans have been writing bills that do exactly that. They don't -- I think they have a way to solve their own problems without that and I don't think that they could even pass the bills that would result in terms of the cuts to education, to health, to all the things the American people care about.
WALLACE: So, are you saying that the president would veto a bill, a resolution to the budget shut down, the budget crisis, at the end of September that included $100 billion in new spending cuts?
LEW: Chris, what I'm saying is that Congress has to write bills that meet the challenge that that the president sets forth, to start investing in our future. And Congress cannot steal from the domestic priorities to fix problems that across the board cuts have caused in defense. I think the right solution would be to get together and have a sensible set of alternatives to replace across the board cuts that were never meant to take effect. They were meant to be bad policy that would drive Congress to do its work and adopt sensible policy.
WALLACE: Will the president veto a bill that House --
LEW: The surprising thing is, that, you know, a couple of years after, everyone agreed this was bad policy, there are people who are now claiming credit for things that were designed to be bad policy and senseless across the board cuts. That's truly surprising.
I think if you look at the way Congress has been dealing with these across the board cuts, it reflects a substantial division even on the Republican side. You see senators like John McCain and Kelly Ayotte and Lindsey Graham, who think it's terrible for our national defense to leave those across the board cuts in place.
WALLACE: All right. Let's --
LEW: There's a better alternative.
WALLACE: Let's switch to the debt limit.
House Speaker Boehner said no increase in the debt limit without an equal or a greater amount in spending cuts. When, first of all, are we going to hit the deadline? I know you are shifting money around.
And secondly, short of a Republican surrender, are you going to make a deal to how do you avoid going into default?
LEW: Chris, to be clear, we hit the debt limit in May. We have been using what are called extraordinary measures. Since then, to pay our bills --
WALLACE: And when do you hit the deadline.
LEW: Congress needs to do its work. It has to stop looking for what's the last possible moment. No one can predict with absolute accuracy and they can't take a risk of making a mistake. They should get back after they take their time off in August, and they should finish their work and get it done, so that there's no uncertainty about America's ability to pay its bills.
I've got to tell you --
WALLACE: What's your plan to avoid the default -- what's you plan to avoid the default when Speaker Boehner said there got to be spending cuts?
LEW: And 2011 was the first time in American history that you had one side arguing that default was an option. It was not an option and cannot ever be an option. They may know that. They have to do their work. They have to pass it.
The president has made clear: we cannot negotiate about whether or not the government of the United States would default. It was a mistake in 2011 to have that debate. It's hurt the economy. And I think Congress knows that it has to deal with this.
WALLACE: But, Secretary Lew, this idea of a clean debt limit bill is not written in stone. The fact is when you were deputy director of OMB, back in 1997, that Bill Clinton signed an increase in the debt limit that was tied to balancing the budget, a deal with Congress.
So, it happened. It was good enough for Bill Clinton. Why can't Barack Obama make the same deal?
LEW: You know, Chris, things changed in 2011. In the 1990s, in 1980s, all the previous debt limit debates, there were discussions about what should be done as the debt limit is resolved. 2011 was the first time there was debate about whether or not to default, where there was actually one side arguing that default could be managed.
That is just wrong. It would be terrible for the U.S. economy. It would be terrible for the world economy. It's irresponsible. And I think Congress learned that lesson in 2011.
WALLACE: All right. You talked about the economy and you talked about the president. I want to put a couple of statistics up here.
First of all, let's look at growth. Growth in the fourth quarter of last year was 0.4 percent. It was 1.8 percent in the first quarter of 2013. There's a lot -- a lot of people believe it's going to be less than that close to 1 percent in the second quarter of 2013.
I also want to put -- because the president talked a lot about inequality. I want to put up some statistics about the middle class and how it's done under President Obama. Let's put those on the screen.
Medium, real household income is down 5 percent. That's $2,718 a year on average since the recession ended in June of 2009. So, in the recovery, medium real household income is going down. The percentage of Americans in the workforces has dropped from 65.7 percent to 65.3 percent, again, since the recession.
Quite of all this, a lot of numbers, the middle class has fallen behind -- for all this talk of equality, the middle class has fallen behind under President Obama.
LEW: So, Chris, you just made the case as to why the things the president was talking about this week are so important. We need to focus together in a bipartisan way on the things we can do to help America's middle class.
The truth is the core of the economy is strong, it's resilient, and we've been growing. We've been growing for 40 months. We've seen job growth for 40 mounts, GDP growth, economy growth for four years.
It's not fast enough. We want to do everything we can to speed the pace of economic growth and job creation. That means we need to address the issues that the president laid out this week. We need to do things to help build the foundation for better jobs.
WALLACE: Let me ask you one question. If you're so interested in creating more jobs, why not approve the Keystone pipeline which would concrete tens of thousands of jobs, sir?
LEW: Chris, I think, as you know, the Keystone pipeline is being reviewed. It's been in the process that was slow down because --
WALLACE: Several years it's being reviewed. I think, what, three, four years.
LEW: It was -- there were some political games that were played that took it off the trail, past its completion. When Republicans put it out there as something that was put on a timetable where it could not be resolved, it caused a delay. We are getting to the end of the review, and we'll have to see where that review is.
But I think playing political games with something like this is a mistake.
WALLACE: I want to ask you about what other part of President Obama's speech this week. Take a look.
OBAMA: With this endless parade of distractions and political posturing and phony scandals, Washington is taking its eye off the ball. And I'm here to say, this needs to stop.
WALLACE: Question, does the president think that the IRS targeting of conservative groups is a phony scandal?
LEW: The president has made clear, I have made clear, that the mistakes that were made in judgment, very bad judgment, managing the 501(c)4 program were unacceptable and they had to be fixed.
WALLACE: That was not a phony scandal?
LEW: Well, he appointed an acting IRS commissioner, who has taken decisive action, clearing out all the people who had supervisorial responsibility for any of the decisions leading up to that. He's put in place methods to make sure it doesn't happen again.
I think that we have to like look at the facts. There had been a lot of investigations. There had been a lot of hearings, I.G.s, the Justice Department. There's no evidence of any political decision maker who was involved in any of those decisions. And I think the attempt to try to keep finding that evidence is creating the kind of sense of a phony scandal that was being referred to there.
WALLACE: Let me --
LEW: There was a problem. The problem has been addressed and there was no political involvement that there's any evidence of.
WALLACE: Well, let talk about that. On May 15th, the president directed you to investigate the IRS scandal. Again, take a look.
OBAMA: I directed Secretary Lew to follow-up on the I.G. audit to see how this happened and who was responsible and to make sure that we understand all the facts.
WALLACE: So, if this is supposedly behind us. It's been more two months since he directed you lead the investigation, explain to me how it was that conservative groups were targeted by the IRS.
LEW: Now, look, first of all, Chris, what we found out as we went through to find the facts is that there was equal opportunity and bad judgment. It was conservative groups. It was progressive groups.
WALLACE: At equal numbers or not -- grossly disproportionate conservative groups over progressive?
LEW: There aren't equal number of groups. The bad judgment was equal opportunity.
WALLACE: But not the number of groups.
LEW: No, but it was --
WALLACE: It was over a hundred compared to a dozen.
LEW: You have to look at how many cases of each there were.
WALLACE: And who were responsible for it, sir?
LEW: Look, there were a number of supervisors of course, all career, who exercised bad judgment, who were relieved of their responsibilities. I think what happened there is unjustifiable. It is not acceptable to have the kinds of screening, left or right, liberal or conservative, where you are targeted in any ways for your views. There's no political official who condoned it or authorized it. WALLACE: Well, let me ask you about that, because an IRS official, Carter Hull, told Congress this week, that he was ordered to send applications from two Tea Party groups, for tax exempt status, to send them to the IRS chief counsel's office. That's William Wilkins, who was a political appointee. As a political appointee, he reports to you, to your office.
Have you asked William Wilkins, the IRS chief council appointed by President Obama, what involvement he or his office had in all of this?
LEW: Chris, to be clear -- there's 1600 lawyers in the chief council's office, and there was no suggestion that this went to the one political person in that office. There's no evidence of it. There has been no evidence of it.
WALLACE: Well, wait a minute, have you asked him?
LEW: Chris, I'm leaving the investigation to the proper people who do investigations. I don't think it's appropriate for me to do the investigation.
WALLACE: Has somebody in the Treasury Department asked William Wilkins what he knew about this?
LEW: Chris, there is no evidence that this went to any political official.
WALLACE: Well, there hasn't been an investigation. The Justice Department investigation isn't complete. The inspector general never conducted an investigation. He conducted an audit.
So, who -- where is the investigation --
LEW: An awful lot of time has gone into asking a lot of questions of a lot of people. I'm not saying it's done, and we will cooperate with all of the ongoing investigations. We have and will. I'm just challenging your assertion that something has been show, when no evidence has been produced to show it.
WALLACE: I'm just wondering the questions haven't been asked.
LEW: Well, you have to look at evidence that comes forward and respond to it.
WALLACE: Finally, on a different note -- when you were nominated as treasury secretary, and let's put this up on the screen. Your signature, that's the upper one, and it got a lot of kidding, in fact from the president who said it looked like the icing on a Hostess cup cake, below is the signature that's going to start appearing this fall on money, because you're as a treasury secretary, it appears on money, that that's going to be on the $5 bill, and it looks different now.
So, the questions I have are: one, why did you change your signature? And two, how did you change your signature?
LEW: Chris, I have been working on my handwriting for many decades, and I obviously still have some more work to do.
WALLACE: But, I mean -- did you decide that isn't going to do for the currency of the United States, I've got to have a different signature?
LEW: Chris, I will confess to having a challenge with penmanship and I always do my best.
WALLACE: Mr. Secretary, thank you. Thanks for coming in. We very much appreciate it. Please come back. Always a pleasure, sir.
LEW: Good to be with you, Chris. Thanks.

If growing up with a twin isn't cool enough to imagine, what would it be like if there was one more person next to you two? Triplets are a big rarity nowadays, but it's a miracle whenever it happens.
Here comes the science
According to Wikipedia:
"Identical triplets come from a monozygotic pregnancy, three fetuses from one egg. The most common set, strictly fraternal triplets, comes from a polyzygotic pregnancy of three eggs. Between these types, triplets that include an identical (monozygotic) pair of siblings plus a fraternal sibling are the result of a dizygotic pregnancy, where one zygote divides into two fetuses and the other doesn't."
How common is it?
Triplets are far less common than twins. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, accounting for only about 4300 sets in 3.9 million births, just a little more than 0.1%, or 1 in 1000. The American Society of Reproductive Medicine says, only about 10% of these are identical triplets: about 1 in ten thousand. Nevertheless, only 4 sets of identical triplets were reported in the U.S. during 2015, about one in a million. According to Victor Khouzami, Chairman of Obstetrics at Greater Baltimore Medical Center, "No one really knows the incidence"."
If you perhaps couldn't be bothered to read all that, essentially it says there's a 1 in 1000 chance to get pregnant with triplets, and only 0.1% of American women actually get pregnant with triplets. So yeah, it's definitely a rarity. You really would be one in a million.
Even though I wasn't born with a twin at my side, I sometimes imagine what it would be like, and you probably do as well. I mean sure, we all have that one friend that we have literally everything in common with, and we're just like "OMG LIKE WE'RE TOTALLY TWINS *wedding ring emoji* *heart eyes emoji*". Well, I'm talking about actually growing up with an actual biological twin.
Playboy Playmate models and triplets Nicole, Erica and Jacyln Dahm were so close, that they actually all expected their first children at the same time! Now that's the epitome of siblingship (that's a word now, shut up) right there.
In October of 2009, the 39-year-old trio appeared on The Doctors, and they all got ultrasound scans in the same room at the same time, in front of a live audience!
Their children weren't even born yet, and they had already appeared on television. I wish I could say that about myself.
The girls have appeared on the show several times, produced by Jay McGraw who, interestingly, is actually Erica's husband. Also interesting is that Jay is actually the son of none other than… Dr. Phil!
Their children were all born around early 2010. Their appearance on the show several times was due to some issues that they had while carrying.
This is definitely a cool story that they'll be telling their kids when they're older. I assume they already have since their kids are about to turn 7 quite soon. Check out the video below to see the results that they got!


text: I have seen places to get Wii saved games on the net and I even tried some and they work fine. Are Wiiware saves, saved in the same way as normal Wii games? The Wiiware saves show up side by side with the normal wii games saves. I was wondering if there are any places where to download save files for Wiiware games? I checked gamefaqs but it didn't seem to have Wiiware saves. Also does anyone know a good board for Wiird cheats to use with GeckoOS besides the official board? I would like a site where requests are allowed. GeckoOS now support Wiiware/VC cheats but there aren't many cheats available anywhere and the official wiird board does not take requests for cheats.

This morning at the Connect(); event in New York city, Scott Hanselman announced some exciting news: Glimpse v2 Beta1 is now available!
Glimpse v2 is a major evolution of the platform. We're extremely proud of what we've accomplished thus far, and we think you'll like what you see. You'll find lots of new bells and whistles that make Glimpse better than it ever has been, but I'd like to outline four key improvements to the Glimpse v2 experience.
Curated UI
Glimpse has always been about getting the diagnostics you need, when and where you need them. However, one of the most overwhelming pieces of feedback we have received over the years is that beyond the Heads-Up-Display, those diagnostics were not necessarily well presented and were sometimes difficult to parse.
In v2 we've strived to solve these issues by curating disparate data points from across multiple tabs and pulling them together into one cohesive story. We've also allowed diagnostics to become the real star, freeing them from the cramped space you're used to seeing them in, and giving them the full window treatment they deserve; which coincidently makes switching between requests much easier than it was in v1. Take a look for yourself:
Cross Platform
Glimpse v2 is built completely upon ASP.NET 5 API's, concepts and the CoreCLR. This means that Glimpse v2 automatically inherits all of the benefits of ASP.NET 5, including its ability to run cross platform on Windows, Linux and OSX.
Now everywhere you can run your site, you'll be able to use Glimpse v2 to debug and diagnose it as well.
Full Stack
Since its inception, Glimpse has been known as "F12 tools for your server". But as you'll no doubt know, web development doesn't happen only on the server.
With this in mind, Glimpse v2 has begun to leverage new browser diagnostic API's to tell a more complete, full stack story. You'll now be able to glean insight into some of the processing happening in the browser, right in the context of your server side diagnostics, for many request.
Production Ready
Glimpse really shines during development time. Its ease of installation and use is what's made Glimpse v1 a favorite among web developers for years. Unfortunately, in many situations Glimpse did not work well once your application was pushed to production.
In Glimpse v2, this all changes. A much larger class of applications will now be able to use Glimpse in production environments to debug and diagnose problems in real time.
In the coming weeks we'll devote more of this blog to covering the ins and outs of these four key features, as well as other changes, and cover exactly what they mean for you.
βeta Beware
Of course, it wouldn't be responsible for me to cover all of the greatness that is Glimpse v2 without also reviewing its current limitations and known issues.
First of all, what we're releasing today is an early beta build meant for gathering feedback from users and extension authors. It may have a few rough edges, the user interface is a work in progress and it certainly isn't feature complete. Look for more stable builds, improved UX and the re-introduction of beloved features such as Timeline and the Trace tab in the future.
It's also worth noting that Glimpse v2 Beta1 only runs on ASP.NET 5. While using the latest and greatest does have its own perks, for existing applications you'll need to stick with Glimpse v1. That also means that Glimpse v1 extensions are incompatible with Glimpse v2. In the future we're going to bridge this gap so that everyone, including .NET 4.5 and .NET 4.0 users will be able to benefit from the new features of Glimpse v2.
Next Steps
Over the next several weeks, keep an eye on this blog and our GitHub repository where we'll continue to improve Glimpse v2, support and update along with ASP.NET 5 and march towards a full, final 2.0 release.
In the mean time, install Beta1 and give it a try.
We really hope that you enjoy this release and are excited about the direction Glimpse is going, but more than anything else, we're excited to hear your feedback.

Excerpt from
Rocked: A Chelsie Valdar Saga, 1
The ground trembles under my feet. I pause on the nature trail, forcing Gator to stop, too. I wonder if it's an earthquake but each tremor is short and separate from the next one. Not how a quake's rumbling feels. Maybe something heavy dropped on the ground or exploded nearby.
Or it could be something else…
I look at Gator for his opinion. Whatever caused the disturbance stopped. His head tilts from side to side as he makes eye contact then sneezes. I smile at his cuteness, shrug my shoulders and we take off walking fast and steady.
Staying in shape is a priority to me and even though it is the first day of summer vacation, I refuse to ease up on my workouts.
Besides, I need to burn off some restless energy and vent my anger from Dean breaking up with me yesterday. The last day of school is supposed to be fun and carefree. Especially now that I'll be a high school senior when school starts again in August. But no, Dean ruined that. At my locker, before first hour, he caught me and whispered he wanted to breakup. He claims I need an attitude adjustment and that I keep secrets from him. Well, maybe. Screw him. Whatever.
The temperature feels perfect for early June. Blue skies and a nice breeze. The nature trails at Milo McIver State Park are next to my hometown of Estacada, Oregon, close to where I live with my dad and brother. This place is peaceful but motivates me to walk my butt off.
Boom, boom, boom. I freeze again. The pounding echoes from all around and the shuddering of the earth travels through my feet and up my legs. Gator strains at the end of his leash, not moving, quiet, ears alert, and eyes searching for the invader.
A savage roar rises from within the dense woods. Birds screech and fly from the surrounding trees in fright. A young deer bolts over the trail, not even noticing us as it flees from the commotion.
From the tree line on my left, someone large hurtles through the tangled branches directly at Gator and me. The window of opportunity to move out of the way is gone. He slams into my body, blasting me backwards through the air almost ten feet before I hit the ground. Flat on my back, I try to breathe in but struggle as my lungs and stomach protest in pain, refusing to function yet.
I am embarrassed and annoyed with myself. Years of grueling training have prepared me to be on the lookout for this sort of situation. "Plan A" is to avoid trouble. Don't get involved. (I've never been good at following that advice.) If slipping away fails, try negotiating. Or conning my way out of a tight spot. If all else fails, I fight.
I did nothing. Except lose focus on my environment from dwelling on Dean's rejection, and become the victim. I lie out of breath in the dirt and wonder what my attacker plans to do next.
During the tackle, I lost my grip on Gator's leash. I never let him run loose and here he is – free as a bird. The rustling of leaves and his barking signal he is close. Why doesn't he run to my face, brush against my hand, or jump on my belly? I hope I can snatch the leash before he decides to dash into the woods and explore.
I rub my fingers across my eyes, trying to remove dirt from the corner of the left one. My ponytail presses into the back of my head, creating a painful ache. Sucking in a shallow breath of dusty air and blinking rapidly, I am aware I need to recover now and be on the defense.
My vision clears and I partially rise, propping my upper body on my elbows. I realize I have company standing spread-eagle over my legs. Shock and panic ricochet through me as I stare up into the daunting, coal-black eyes of a Bigfoot.
Rocked: A Chelsie Valdar Saga, 1
"Long put her characters through the wringer as they had to face challenge after challenge in their attempts to retrieve the sword and bring it back to the shelter. I admired the fact that she wasn't afraid to make things hard for them, and I also rooted for the team to accomplish all their goals." ~~Alexa Y., reviewer at Alexa Loves Books

Rocked: A Chelsie Valdar Saga, 1
"Lord the surprises that were in the book alone and the things that unfolded had me at the edge of my seat waiting to see what the next thing was because man the action and the suspense and the mystery behind it all had me wanting, no needing, more by the minute." ~~Tee Worcester, reviewer at A Diary of a Book Addict


text: Hey guys, I seem to be on somewhat of a roll at work. Seems to be a t-belt a week for the last month or so. No urS cars but 12v v-6s, 30v v-6s and an S4tt and I know an A8 is on the horizon. We have the tool to hold the crank pulley to undo the bolt but I don't use it. I don't even take that bolt out. I undo the bolts (4-8 depends on car) that hold the actual pulley onto the cogged drive gear on the crank. There is no real reason to remove that big crank bolt, besides you need the cogged wheel on the crank to install the belt. There is short dowel on teh cogged wheel to keep the pulley (and its marks) in time with the top end. Neil __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Before my daughter was born, I participated in the March of Dimes' March for Babies for several years. In my mind, it was a fun walk to do with my dog and coworkers and I thought it was cool that it benefited premature babies. Then I developed severe preeclampsia/borderline HELLP and my daughter Kennedy had to be delivered at 27/6 weeks and she, along with my husband and I, were thrown into the world of the NICU and premature babies. It was then that the March of Dimes and the March for Babies took on a very real meaning for us. This year my daughter is the ambassador for the Charleston March for Babies! Check out this great video about Kennedy's story.
Kennedy's story
I went to my 24-week prenatal appointment expecting a quick visit. But, life had other plans. I felt 100% normal, but my blood pressure was high and I ended up spending the night in the hospital. I also started visiting an amazing high-risk doctor twice per week, and my regular ob-gyn once per week. I was put on multiple blood pressure medications, but my numbers didn't budge. I felt fine the entire time.
At 27 weeks, my blood pressure got very high and I was admitted to the hospital. I was moved between labor and delivery and antepartum, depending on my blood work. The medical team thought they could stabilize me to buy more time, but unfortunately my blood pressure and blood work didn't cooperate. Kennedy was born via emergency c-section.
Kennedy spent 12 weeks and 1 day in the hospital, and many of those days were scary. Things started out as well as you might hope for a baby that age. As soon as my precious 2 pound, 2 ounce girl was born, she cried, she pooped, and she initially only needed C-Pap oxygen. She still needed to be in a radiant warmer, and the first time I saw her, she was in a plastic bag (and because I had a c-section and was on a Magnesium drip, that was the only time I saw her for the first day and a half).
When babies are born that early, their skin is still pretty transparent, they are red, their eyes are solid black, their movements are incredibly disjointed, they're unable to breathe independently, they can't regulate their own body heat, and they have no ability to eat by mouth. As you might imagine, all of those obstacles alone require a vast amount of medical intervention.
The first few days of Kennedy's life
The first few days were "good," if it's possible to recognize a good day when your baby is hospitalized. I left the hospital without my baby, and that was the worst thing ever. I seriously couldn't believe that I was going home and my daughter was in the NICU. I cried and cried that day. As mentioned, I had a c-section, so I couldn't drive for the first week, which meant I had to wait for my husband to get home from work so we could go to the hospital to see her. I called the hospital to check on her a million times.
When Kennedy was around three days old, she developed unilateral PIE (pulmonary interstitial emphysema). That's when things got even more real. She was on a high frequency ventilator for a month, got three x-rays a day, blood work many times per day, and she also had high bilirubin scores, so she was on the "blue light." She had 266 tests and multiple blood transfusions while she was hospitalized.
Because of both her very early birth and her need for a ventilator, we were unable to hold her for nearly four weeks. It was awful to go to the hospital multiple times per day and see this tiny human in an enclosed isolette, on a ventilator, with IVs and monitors surrounding every inch of her tiny body.
Doctors tried everything imaginable to treat the PIE, but Kennedy's lungs didn't respond quickly (and sometimes didn't respond at all). It was tricky because the treatment required to help the lung with PIE directly harmed her "good" lung. But, the NICU team worked miracles and Kennedy recovered. Her lung condition was terrible. It's quite a miracle that she survived. One of her nurses told us that when she had the PIE, she was the sickest baby in the NICU. I'm thankful that we didn't know that at the time!
After the PIE resolved, she was on c-pap and nasal cannula for another four weeks, and then spent another four weeks in the hospital working on other skills required to go home. She went home on her due date with an at-home monitor and a few medications, but didn't require oxygen.
So thankful for the March of Dimes
Thanks to the unending commitment of the doctors in the NICU and innovations funded by the March of Dimes, Kennedy fully recovered and continues to thrive. Kennedy and I survived due to excellent medical care and the March of Dimes. If it weren't for the medical team or the programs and innovations funded by the March of Dimes, neither of us would be here. Very scary, but very true.
The March of Dimes advocates for all mothers to seek prenatal care and stresses the importance of folic acid. Thank goodness prenatal care was a top priority for me. As I said, I felt completely fine… meanwhile a deadly complication of pregnancy was brewing inside of me.
In Kennedy's situation, she received three doses of surfactant therapy, a synthetic of the surfactant humans naturally produce that allows the lungs to stay expanded. Without the surfactant therapy, Kennedy wouldn't have survived. Only 25% of preemies develop PIE, and for babies who receive surfactant, that percentage is significantly lower. In Kennedy's case, having the surfactant helped give her "good" lung a fighting chance, and perhaps saved her from having PIE in both lungs.
For babies like Kennedy, the mission of the March of Dimes is literally life saving. Even if you don't have a premature baby, or don't know anyone with a premature baby, the March of Dimes has touched your life. Whether you received a polio vaccine, had a child get a heel-prick test at birth, or know a mom who took folic acid during her pregnancy, you've been positively impacted by the work of the March of Dimes.
I invite you to walk with us at Cannon Park on April 29th to help support the amazing work of the March of Dimes and help give all babies a healthy start to life. To create a team for the Charleston walk, visit marchforbabies.org. To join my team, check out my page.

For Immediate Release
June 3, 2013
Contact: Jaron Browne, firstname.lastname@example.com
The San Francisco Trans March will honor Private Bradley Manning on Friday, June 28th from 3-7pm at Dolores Park on the opening of the 2013 PRIDE Weekend. Manning, a member of the LGBT community, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, reached national attention in 2011 when he released a video and documents that exposed the killing of unarmed civilians & news reporters by US forces in Iraq.
In Bradley's own testimony he stated, "I hoped that the public would be as alarmed as me about the conduct of the aerial weapons team crewmembers. I wanted the American public to know that not everyone in Iraq and Afghanistan were targets that needed to be neutralized, but rather people who were struggling to live in the pressure cooker environment of what we call asymmetric warfare."
In the first 10 months after his arrest, Bradley was kept in solitary confinement and even forced to strip naked for several days. These conditions were described as "cruel & unusual" by a UN rapporteur on torture, and only ended after substantial public outcry. LGBT community leaders & human rights activists continue to call attention to Bradley's right to safety and fair treatment.
In April of this year, PFC Bradley Manning was announced as a Grand Marshal of the 2013 San Francisco Pride Celebration. Two days later, SF Pride board president Lisa Williams issued a separate announcement that the SF Pride Board would not be honoring PFC Manning as a Grand Marshal. Transgender activist & author Leslie Feinberg, Pulitzer Prize winning author Alice Walker, and many more have added their signatures to the open letter criticizing the decision by the board of SF Pride to rescind Bradley Manning's appointment as honorary Grand Marshal for this year's Pride parade.
We join in their statement, that LGBTQ activists fought hard for years to win the right to live free from the fear that we could be targeted with violence deemed acceptable to society at large, simply for being who we are. We members of the LGBTQ community would like to stand in solidarity with others around the world who still must live in fear of violence and oppression, simply for being born into a particular group.
We honor Bradley Manning and join together to work toward a world where all people live in safety and dignity, and all human rights are protected.

Happy Tuesday!! Ever thought about what things you'd like to be able to do with your running if you were granted three wishes? I mean, we all know it takes hard work and dedication to reach goals…but it's fun to dream.
Wish 1: I'd wish for unlimited funds so I could travel and run all the races! There's so many cool races that I'd love to run in other countries and states. I'd need unlimited funds because if I ran them all I couldn't keep a job lol
Wish 2: I'd wish for Instant weight loss. Then I could run faster and just be healthier. It's a lot of work that would be great if you could just wish it away.
Wish 3: I'd wish for years of pain free running. I am not sure how old I'd still like to be running, but I know I'd like to be taking my grandkids out with me someday…although I'm sure they would out run me!
What would be your wishes if you could have thee running wishes?
Join in the link up over at MCM Mama Runs, My No Guilt Life and Marcia's Healthy Slice and let us know!

Sizing can be confusing when it comes to pearl rings, as US, UK and European sizes differ. The best option is to visit a jeweler and have them tell you what size you need by measuring your finger. Then simply forward that size to us along with what country you are in, and we can ensure that the fit is correct. The common way that people adopt to know their own ring size is by the circumference.
The circumference of the ring on the left side is 57mm as you can see from the tap measure, compare to the following chart, you will obviously find it is the ring size at 8 in US standard. So if you are not sure about your own ring size, just use a piece of string or a slim band of paper to measure your finger. Simply wrap the string or paper around your finger at the base, mark the point at which overlap begins, then lay your string or paper flat and measure with a ruler marked in millimeters(mm). This will give you the proper circumference of the inside of the ring.
The chart below show the different sizes and how they compare. All you have to worry about is how many mm the circumference of the ring needs to be to fit around your finger. We can take care of the rest.
Pearl rings can be extremely personal, and can be used for promise rings, engagement rings. If you like a 925 pure sterling silver ring in our store, and would like to make it in 14k gold with the same design, we can also make it for you. All you need to do is to send us a email with the ring size that you required. We will make and send it to you in 7-15 working day.
You can also always make your own rings with your perference color and size. Cathaygems provide a wide selection of pearl colors, and ring settings as well, all in 925 sterling silver that will be cherished forever.

Woman King (Self-publishesd, 2009) – Colleen Frakes
I intended to buy this at MoCCA, but didn't. As we ran around handing out the Ignatz nominee badges at Small Press Expo, I decided that was as good of a time as any to buy it.
A bear decides to lead an uprising against humans and adopts a little girl to help lead the fight as the "king" of the bears. As she grows up, the bears get no closer to winning their battle with the humans.
As our heroine progresses from girl to woman, she looses her innocence little by little — her bear family eats sheep she's befriended, the young man she falls in love with is a hunter with the head of a deer on his wall — until she decides she doesn't want to be controlled anymore.
Frakes' adorable drawings make this look like a "cute animal" tale for the most part, which makes the scenes of violence, while not overly graphic, all the more shocking. It becomes a powerful reflection on being blinded by conflict and the thoughtless cruelty we often perpetuate. This is a book I am proud to own.
Salamander Dream (AdHouse Books, 2005) – Hope Larson
Dreamlike in tone, Larson follows a girl named Hailey and her friendship with Salamander, a lithe, masked human figure in all black. Hailey and Salamander play in the wilderness near Hailey's house, but as Hailey gets older, she has less and less time for Salamander.
Presented in black, white and vibrant green, extended, wordless sequences show Hailey and Salamander floating through water, the sky and even shrinking to travel through Hailey's bloodstream. Larson varies her page layouts — sometimes they are well-defined and rigid, other times they are loose and and malleable. Her art has a clarity that is lovely — the curves of her lines give her drawings movement and immediacy.
It's left up to the reader to decide if Salamander is a real, magical creature or just an imaginary friend of Hailey's (in fact, Larson seems to say there's not much difference between the two).
This is a beautiful little book and I've enjoyed revisiting it since I bought it.
Sleeper Car (Secret Acres, 2009) – Theo Ellsworth
Ellsworth fills his pages with robots and space explorers and weirdness just for the sake of weirdness. He's playful — look for all the little animals in the background of "Norman Eight's Left Arm" — and his love of the surreal never descends into creepiness. Technically, it's brilliant and lush — his art is impossibly complicated and full of lines and textures in the background — but it also feels much like a product of someone who's just goofying around and doodling (oh, if we could all doodle like this).
There is something very childlike about his work. It's like one part Moebius, one part Where The Wild Things Are. Yes, "How to Build a: Pajama Tent" is adorable and something we all can remember doing, but other pages, like "Political Statement" that shows an image of "The 220th President of the United States" feel like something he probably just drew for fun and captioned later.
Ellsworth has a fascinating style. His comics can be dense but they're almost always fun.
Cross Country (Fort Hamilton Press, 2009) – MK Reed
Spooner is on a road trip as the assistant to Greg, the asshole heir to a Wal-Mart-like company, as they travel around the country to decide which stores to close. Spooner hates Greg, but the money is too good to pass up. Along the way, he visits his ex-girlfriend, Julia, as he decides what he wants from life.
Reed presents this story in a pretty matter-of-fact way — it feels a lot like a cute, low-budget indie movie. Reed's art has a softness to it — she draws her characters with loose curves and simple features. I wouldn't call it abstract, but there is a certain economy to her lines. She adds just enough to make her scenes clear.
I think we all have someone in our lives that we just can't let go of. Maybe this person isn't so much "the one that got away" but we still have some lingering thought about what could have been if things have gone differently. I liked that Reed never presented Julia as a villain and it didn't work out with Spooner just because it didn't work out. I also liked how Spooner came to — maybe not so much an understanding with Greg, but something close to recognition.
This is a quiet little book but very affecting and satisfying.
(Hope Larson will be appearing at the University of Richmond for Graphic Details: Discussing Contemporary Comics at 7 p.m. Sunday, along with Gabrielle Bell, Kim Deitch and Anders Nilsen. The panel will be moderated by AdHouse Books founder Chris Pitzer.)

A child's first scribbling is something which it tries to express if you give a pencil in his hand. Drawing is relatively very simple and an easy skill and is something with which you can have great fun. It is also relatively not a very expensive hobby and can start with paper and a pencil. It can go on till acquiring costly pen and tablets – a computer hardware through which you can draw on your computer. It is very costly; however the precision for perfection is very high.
Unlike earlier days, getting information on drawing and sketching is very easy and inexpensive. You can search information on Google and get various sites which teach drawing. Also, nowadays this art form is liked by many youngsters. Like all other art forms, with constant and systematic practice one can become a great artist.
Listed below are few drawing tips which can help anyone improve their skill and become an artist. Reading and practicing these in your daily routine will improve your skill.
1. If you are drawing and you are right handed person, ensure that the light is from your left side. This will prevent your hand shadow falling on your paper.
2. First step when you practice drawing – you should practice drawing line, straight line, curved line, scribbled lines, and your hand should obey the command of your thoughts and visions. You should control your hand and you should be able to bring out what you want.
3. You should further develop drawing circles, oval shapes, crossed lines and bold and thick lines. Just like how a baby develops from crawling stage to walking stage, your art should also develop step by step.
4. These lines and curves are like pillars to a building. The foundation should be strong enough to have a good building; similarly these initial small lines and curves will go a long way in your career. You should also start controlling the stress on your pencil. You should be able to bring the correct darkness and thickness in the lines what you draw.
5. Initially you will not be able to draw a circle or an oval shape correctly, nevertheless don't get discouraged. You should practice and practice until you get perfection. You should also keep all your drawings carefully from the start to know how you are improving. You could also date your sketches and preserve it for the future.
6. You should concentrate in the area where you feel you are weak. If you are not able to shade properly then learn more to do that. You can try out your own style of shading. Build your own individuality, never copy from another artist.
7. Last but not the least, use good quality materials. 4B and 6B pencils and good chart paper or note book with good quality paper should be sufficient to start with. Quality definitely matters hence never compromise on quality.

I have said before that a Southern party is incomplete without cheese straws. Since then, I have discovered that this tradition must be unique to just some areas of The South. Nevertheless, given the Super Bowl party time is approaching, I decided to give you another version so you can start this Southern tradition where you live.
Many years ago, my friend Pat shared her recipe for Cheese Snaps with me. As I was digging in my recipe box recently, I came across her handwritten card and decided I would make some.
Of course, knowing me, I had to alter it a bit…not much, mind you…just a tad. I hope she'll forgive me for the presumption.
These are really handy little things, as the dough can easily be frozen. Having some already made up and in the freezer can be your answer to a delicious snack, ready in minutes.
I'll be adding a basket full of cheese snaps to the coffee table for Super Bowl snacking. I hope you do too.
- 1 stick butter (8 tablespoons)
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 ounces Roquefort cheese
- 2 cups flour (all-purpose)
- ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
- ¾ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
- In the bowl of a food processor, cream the butter and cheeses.
- Add the remaining ingredients and process until the mixture forms a ball.
- Remove the mixture from the processor, divide into fourths.
- Roll each fourth into a log, about the size of a half-dollar.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and chill. At this point, the dough may be further sealed in a freezer ziplock bag and frozen for further use.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove the dough log from the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap and slice thinly (about ⅛ inches) and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack.

Becoming an adult within the projects of Baltimore within the 1980s, such things as savings accounts, bonds and stocks were completely foreign to Mysia Hamilton. Requested if her parents might have passed along some cash to assist her purchase a vehicle, visit school or put in a home, she can't help but chuckle.
"No, that wasn't there. There wasn't any wealth. My mother was working, she was supplying – we weren't in the pub pleading – but there wasn't any money when it comes to 'here you go'. Nothing to pass through lower."
the research by Success Now and also the Institute for Policy Studies.
"By 2020, median black and Latino households are in position to lose nearly 18% and 12% from the wealth they locked in 2013 correspondingly, while median white-colored household wealth increases by 3%," the report states. "At that time – just 3 years from now – white-colored households are forecasted to possess 86 occasions more wealth than black households, and 68 occasions more wealth than Latino households."
Source: Edward N Wolff, Household Wealth Trends within the U . s . States, 1962-2013. Figures have been in 2013 dollars and exclude durable goods
Using the US set to get "majority minority" by 2044, researchers say this spells major economic peril for that nation. "If the racial wealth divide is constantly on the accelerate, the economical conditions of black and Latino households may have an more and more adverse effect on the economy writ large, because many of us households won't have sufficient wealth to stake their claim in the centre class."
The authors cite the legacy of discriminatory housing policies, an "upside down" tax system that can help the wealthiest households get wealthier, and also the economic results of mass incarceration as one of the root causes for that discrepancy.
"The middle-class didn't just happen by market forces, and also the whiteness from the middle-class didn't just happen by market forces. Both were intentional," stated Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, a senior fellow at Success Now and among the report's authors.
40 acres along with a mule" to recently freed slaves, practically nothing ended to endow black Americans having a share from the wealth generated by centuries of slave work – exactly the same work that, directly or not directly, helped to construct the majority of the wealth enjoyed by white-colored Americans.
So black Americans began off generations behind, simply to encounter the redlining and racially restrictive housing covenants from the early-to-middle twentieth century, which avoided the purchase of numerous homes to black Americans, and isolated them together in communities that lost value as white-colored residents fled towards the suburbs.
"The most of white-colored Americans weren't middle-class before the 1930s or 40s," Asante-Muhammad told the Protector. "Then there is mass investment to produce a united states middle-class – however it would be a white-colored American middle-class.Inches
Programs like the GI bill, which offered coming back World war 2 veterans generous lending terms to purchase houses, helped turn the united states right into a home-owning middle-class society – that black Americans were functionally excluded. In the 2005 book When Affirmative Action was White-colored, Ira Katznelson notes those of the very first 67,000 mortgages insured through the GI Bill, less than 100 were obtained by non-white-colored people.
Recent economic crises have widened this wealth gap, based on the report, as communities of colour required the brunt from the economic hit. Black median wealth hasn't retrieved in the 2001 recession, nor Latino median wealth in the 2008 financial collapse. White-colored median wealth, however, remained unaffected in 2002, and started rebounding just 2 yrs following the speculative housing bubble started to implode.
"Unfortunately house values don't come during the same means by black communities when unexpected things happen,Inches stated Althea Saunders-Ranniar, an economic coach and consultant in Baltimore, Maryland, where about 95% of her customers are black.
One thing Asante-Muhammad and the co-authors found very important was concentrating on inequality of wealth instead of earnings, simply because they felt it had been a far more accurate test of middle-class status.

Balwinder Beniwal (69kg) and Dinesh Kumar (81kg) lost their opening round bouts at the "Giraldo Cordova Cardin" Memorial Boxing Tournament in Havana, Cuba, Friday.
Balwinder went down to a Cuban 12:26 on day two of the competition.
Roniel, a bronze medallist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and gold medallist (64 kg) at the Milan World Championship, made things difficult for the 20-year-old with his technique and experience. Balwinder had won a silver in the same event last year.
Asian Games silver medallist Dinesh also came up short against the Yamaguchi Florentino of Brazil 14:24. Dinesh fought valiantly but could not translate most of his punches into points. Florentino, a prized WSB fighter, was throwing more punches at close range which worked in his favour.
The day three of the tournament will witness five Indian boxers take to the ring at the Ramon Fonst multi-sports hall. Commonwealth Games (CWG) gold medallist Suranjoy Singh, CWG bronze medallist Amandeep Singh, Asian silver medallist Nanao Singh, and teenager Shiva Thapa will all be making their first appearance in the annual event.
Santosh Harijan (52 kg), who stunned the officials and spectators with his superb performance in the first round, will fight Mozambican Cramido in the second round.

As Abraham Lincoln rose to give the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863, his face had a "sad, mournful, almost haggard" expression according to Clark E. Carr, a member of National Cemetery Commission. Reciting the speech eloquently and without difficulty, no one – including Lincoln – realized at the time that he was in the early stages of a smallpox infection.
On the train back to Washington that evening, Lincoln became feverish, weak, and troubled by a headache. His personal servant, William B. Johnson, applied a wet towel to the president's face to help allay the fever and pain. Back in Washington, Lincoln's sickness progressed. He had a high fever, severe headaches with back pain, and profound weakness. On the fourth day of illness, a scarlet rash appeared on his body. Lincoln's physician, Dr. Robert K. Stone, first thought the president had scarlatina (scarlet fever), but when small, widely scattered blisters appeared the next day, he became more concerned.
Dr. Washington Van Bibber from Baltimore, Maryland, was called in by Stone to consult on the case. After Van Bibber finished examining Lincoln, the president asked for his diagnosis. "Mr. President," the doctor said, "if I was to give a name to your malady, I should say that you have a touch of the varioloid."
"Then am I to understand that I have the smallpox?" Lincoln asked. Van Bibber said yes, prompting Lincoln to quip: "For once in my life as President, I find myself in a position to give everybody something."
The term "varioloid" was a common 19th century name for smallpox; but in the following century, the term would be used more specifically to describe milder forms of the disease that occurred in previously vaccinated individuals. There is no evidence, however, that Lincoln had ever received a smallpox vaccine during his lifetime.
In the days following the Gettysburg Address, nervous staffers kept a close vigil on the president. William O. Stoddard, one of Lincoln's secretaries, recorded in his memoirs: "…the White House has suddenly been turned into a smallpox hospital, with a certain degree of penetrable quarantine." John Nicolay and John Hay, Lincoln's private secretaries, restricted visitation while Dr. Stone vaccinated all the White House staff and residents against smallpox. Stoddard remembered having "mournful consultations" with Nicolay and Hay "over the idea that all the country would go to ruin if Abraham Lincoln should die of the dread disease…." On November 26, Hay cautiously noted in his diary: "The President quite unwell."
Fortunately, over the next few days, Lincoln's fever abated and the skin lesions began to peel and itch. The National Republican reported on November 28, 1863:
We are glad to be able to announce the President is much better today. The fever from which he has suffered has left him. Thursday and Thursday night his suffering was chiefly from severe pains in the head. Yesterday and the day before, he was not permitted by his physician to hold any interviews – even with the members of his cabinet. It is hoped that in a day or two he will gain sufficient strength to resume his official duties.
Although still weak and emaciated, Lincoln had improved enough by December 6 that a reporter from the Chicago Tribune was allowed to visit. "The President has not yet quite recovered his health," the story read on December 11, "his face is slightly marked, but in a few days he will be quite recovered."
Although Lincoln would experience a complete recovery from the "dread disease" (he was well enough to attend a play at Ford's Theatre on December 15, 1863), his servant William Johnson was not so fortunate. At some point over the course of Lincoln's illness, Johnson also came down with smallpox. By mid-January, he had succumbed to the disease with Lincoln paying for Johnson's burial out of his own pocket. Although Johnson had attended the president early in his illness, Lincoln did not believe he was the source of the servant's infection. "He did not catch it from me, however; at least I think not," Lincoln remarked to another reporter.
Lincoln may have been correct. Washington, D.C. was in the midst of a widespread smallpox outbreak at the time and no one can be sure when and where Lincoln and Johnson became exposed. In fact, in the week before Lincoln left for Gettysburg, his 10-year-old son, Tad, had been bed-ridden with an illness consisting of a fever and a "scarlet" rash.
History is full of what-ifs. Had the Gettysburg ceremony been held one or two days later than November 19, 1863, Lincoln would likely have been too ill to attend and deliver the Gettysburg Address. Or, if he had succumbed to smallpox as his servant did, how would the remainder of the Civil War have played out? One can only speculate.

Crimes Against Children/Risk of Injury to a Minor/Possession and/or Distribution of Child Pornography
Connecticut Neglect Abuse Defense Lawyers
Being accused of a crime against children can be a life-changing situation. Not only can you be socially ruined, but you may also end up in jail for many years if you are convicted. If you have been charged with neglecting or abusing your own children, the state may take them from you. With stakes this high, trustworthy legal counsel is imperative.
Discreet and professional, Kocian Law Group is ready to assist with sensitive issues. With our strong background in criminal defense, Kocian Law Group is the ideal choice for those who have been accused of a crime against children.
Our nonjudgmental staff will set you up with a consultation. At your appointment, we will hear your side of the story. If you have a case, we will gather evidence, including witness testimony. We will do all the research necessary to bolster your case and protect your rights.
What are "Crimes Against Children"?
Crimes against children are generally defined as crimes committed against those below the age of 18, though some specific crimes have to be committed against those under 16 to qualify as "against children." As a rule, the younger the victim of the crime is, the higher the penalty.
Neglect occurs when someone fails to protect or provide for a child under his or her care. If charged with neglect of your own children, you generally have two cases against you: one is a case in criminal court, while the other is a case in family court. The criminal court decides whether you've broken any laws and punishes you if you have. The family court decides whether to take your children from you and where to place them in the event that they're taken away. The courts communicate with each other and what you say in one trial may be brought up or used in the other. If you are convicted in criminal court, your parental rights can be terminated.
Child abuse occurs when someone physically or mentally harms a child. Like neglect, you can be tried in both criminal and family court for child abuse of children in your custody. Depending on the severity of the abuse and other circumstances, such as a criminal record, child abuse can be a felony or a misdemeanor. Sentences run the gamut from probation with no incarceration to life in prison.
Sexual crimes against children also constitute abuse, but are often treated differently. A sexual crime is nearly always a felony. You can be charged with sexual conduct with a minor, molestation of a child, or exploitation of a child, a charge which may include possessing or disseminating child pornography. Molestation yields less severe punishment than outright sexual conduct, but both can have life-changing consequences if you are convicted.
If you have been accused of committing a crime against children it is recommended that you:
- elect to stay silent when questioned by police
- calmly obey all police instructions
- find an experienced defense lawyer.
At Kocian Law Group, we recognize that even good people can be charged with horrific crimes. You have the right to fair representation. Whether you have been falsely accused of wrongdoing, or whether you've made a serious mistake, let Kocian Law Group represent you.

The college basketball postseason heats up this week with Southern California community college championships to be determined, along with California Collegiate Athletic Association and PacWest tournament champs to be crowned.
Cal State San Bernardino's men's and women's teams will compete for the CCAA's automatic berth to the NCAA Division II Tournament. The CCAA tournament begins Thursday at Stockton Arena, with both CSUSB's men and women in action.
The sixth-seeded Coyotes men (12-13) open against No. 3 Humboldt State and the fifth-seeded Coyotes women (18-8) take on No. 4 UC San Diego. The CSUSB women are ranked eighth in the West Region and could earn an at-large NCAA berth with a strong tournament finish.
Cal Baptist looks to win its first PacWest tournament title. The Lancers men are seeded third and the women are seeded second in the tournament, which begins Thursday at Concordia University in Irvine.
The Lancers men (22-5), ranked No. 22 nationally, face Hawaii Pacific in the first round on Thursday at 4 p.m.. The semifinals are Friday with the final set for Saturday at 4:15 p.m.
The CBU women (23-5), who earned a first-round bye, face the winner between No. 6 seed BYU-Hawaii and No. 3 seed Point Loma on Friday at 11:30 a.m.
The men's team was seeded No. 1 in last year's tournament, but lost in the semifinals. CBU still earned an at-large berth to the Division II tournament. The women's team advanced to the PacWest tournament championship game last season but lost to Academy of Art.
A berth in the CCCAA state final four is up for grabs this week. No. 3 seed San Bernardino Valley puts its 19-game win streak on the line against No. 11 seed West LA (18-8) in Wednesday's Southern California semifinals. The Wolverines (30-2) host the Wildcats at 7 p.m.
The winner of that game takes on the winner of Mt. San Jacinto (23-7) and Saddleback (29-2). No. 7 MSJC travels to No. 2 Saddleback on Wednesday in a game featuring two conference players of the year in MSJC's Samuel Williams and Saddleback's Conor Clifford.
The Southern California finals are Saturday, with the winners from each side of the bracket advancing to the state championships to face the top two teams from Northern California.

Is Anger Over Your Divorce Ruling Your Life?
I will be one of many friends that will tell you: It's OK to be angry, hurt and mad about your divorce.
But, I'll also be one of many friends that will tell you: It's not OK to allow this anger to rule your life. You're better than that!
That's why I asked divorce experts to share their tips on how women can best manage that swelling anger that seems to take over all areas of life after a divorce.
I think you'll like what they have to say in the tips below:
Tip #1: Resolve your resentment and hurt as fast as you can
Resentment hurts you not him. I can distinctly remember how angry I was during my divorce and after. The anger had no place to go so it festered in me like an illness. When I realized what was happening, I started working on ways to simply stop being resentful. This was not easy, but it was so worth it. Once I had gotten to the point where things did not bother me, I was truly free then to go on with my life. How long did this take? It took me about a year for the worst of it, maybe two to be mostly at peace. It was also good for my children to have one less angry parent in their lives. I was rewarded by being in a good frame of mind when the new man in my life came along.
— Donna McDonald, Author, www.donnamcdonaldauthor.com
Tip #2: Your Father, Ur FATHER, YOUR BLEEPING FATHER!
When talking to your children, any sentence that begins with … "YOUR father, or, Your FATHER ,or, YOUR (bleeping) FATHER, is far more damaging to them (your kids), than to him (THEIR FATHER). Gratefully, hes now your EX — (and someone else's headache)!
— Michele Iaia (YA-YA), YAYA-Therapy for your Family Quick-Fix, www.yayatherapy.com
Tip #3: Always take the high road!
Divorce is hurtful, it's creates anger and bitterness, it's painful, it's rejection at it's very core. Divorce can easily bring out the worst in us. Taking the high road means refraining from retaliating with low road behavior. It means being a role model for your children. It means not throwing your ex- under the bus and making your kids feel guilty. While low road behavior may feel good in the moment, it won't in the long run.
The applications of taking the high road are endless. It's a concept that applies across every boundary gender, age, race, nationality, profession. Taking the high road is a goal for which to strive. The benefits are too numerous to quantify. The high road is ultimately a way of life. It means making the elevated decisions. It's opting to do something that may not always be the easiest choice, but is always the more thoughtful choice. It's making decisions that will make your kids, your family, and your friends proud. It's living your life so that you can look yourself in the mirror every day knowing that you aspire to greater ideas and ideals! Taking the high road isn't always easy. You're not always coasting on the high road. And, to the surprise of many people, the high road can be bumpy and full of pot holes to navigate and avoid.
Nobody ever said making some tough choices, doing the right thing, and taking the high road was going to be easy. Perhaps that's why the high road often has less traffic.
— Monique Honaman, Author of "The High Road Has Less Traffic", www.highroadlesstraffic.com
Tip #4: Forgive Him? Are You Kidding?
Learn to forgive. Harboring negative feelings will only slow down the progress of moving forward. Gather the tools and skills to find forgiveness through your church/synagogue, counseling, books and tapes, family and friends.
— Christine K. Clifford, CSP, CEO/Founder, Divorcing Divas, LLC, www.DivorcingDivas.net

Reactive Design Patterns Manning Publications
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Modern distributed applications must deliver near-realtime performance while simultaneously managing big data and high user loads spread across environments ranging from cloud systems to mobile devices. Unlike traditional enterprise applications which focus on decoupling their internal components by defining programming interfaces, reactive applications go one step further and decouple their components also at runtime. This makes it possible to react effectively and efficiently to failures, varying user demands, and changes in the application's execution environment. The resulting systems are highly concurrent and fault-tolerant, with minimal dependencies among individual system components. "Reactive Design Patterns" is a clearly-written guide for building message-driven distributed systems that are resilient, responsive, and elastic. It contains patterns for messaging, flow control, resource management, and concurrency, along with practical issues like test-friendly designs. All patterns include concrete examples using Scala and Akka in some cases, Java, JavaScript, and Erlang. Software engineers and architects will learn patterns that address day-to-day distributed development problems in a fault-tolerant and scalable way. Project leaders and CTOs will gain a deeper understanding of the reactive design philosophy. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications."

Anti-government protesters released two Iraqi soldiers they had seized near Ramadi, west of Baghdad, a protest organiser and a doctor said on Wednesday.
The soldiers were taken after deadly clashes between security forces and demonstrators in north Iraq left dozens dead and sparked a wave of revenge attacks.
Abdulrazzaq al-Shammari, one of the organisers of the protests near Ramadi, said the two soldiers were turned over to a hospital in the city on Tuesday.
He also said the demonstrators were demanding that Iraqi soldiers withdraw from all cities in Anbar province, where Ramadi is located, and remain in their main bases.

Dr Ahmed al-Ani, the director of the emergency department at the Ramadi hospital, said the facility had received two soldiers. One was wounded and still in hospital, while the second was released.
Police First Lieutenant Ibrahim Faraj said on Tuesday that armed protesters killed six Iraqi soldiers near Ramadi and burned two armoured personnel carriers, but put the number of kidnapped soldiers at one instead of two.
Protesters have taken to the streets in Sunni-majority areas of Iraq for more than four months, calling for the resignation of Maliki and decrying the alleged targeting of their minority community by the Shiite-led authorities.
Clashes and attacks involving security forces, protesters and their supporters left 54 people dead country-wide on Tuesday, the worst protest-related violence since the demonstrations began.
