On Saturday, January 31st, guitarist/composer Michael Musillami's newest ensemble, the Michael Musillami Trio + 3, will make its New York debut at Cornelia Street Cafe. The group will be performing new original music, which it will then record the following day for its forthcoming May 2009 release on Playscape Recordings. The Michael Musillami Trio + 3 augments Musillami's longstanding core trio, featuring bassist Joe Fonda and drummer George Schuller, with trumpeter Ralph Alessi, multi-instrumentalist Marty Ehrlich and vibraphonist Matt Moran.
"Guitarist Musillami is really on a roll lately, documenting a number of high quality sessions on his Playscape label," declared Cadence reviewer Jason Bivins. Critics called his latest, 2007's The Treatment, featuring his trio with violinist Mark Feldman, "scintillating and provocative" (Bill Milkowski, Absolute Sound), "an intensely rewarding and conceptually promising avenue for the future of jazz" (Troy Collins, AllAboutJazz.com) and "as convincing a statement of what's still possible with the instrumentation as anything I've heard in years" (Brian Morton, PointofDeparture.org). It was also included in best-of-the-year lists in AllAboutJazz.com, Cadence, Coda, the Hartford Courant, Jazz Review and the Village Voice.
Musillami himself has been called "a superior guitarist" (John McDonough, DownBeat), "an adroit and creative musician" (Michael J. West, JazzTimes), "a fine composer of notable original music" (Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide) and "a modern-day jazz master" (Roger Levesque, Edmonton Journal). "His compositions develop in leisurely style from quiet simplicity to intricate complexity," explained Jack Massarik in Jazzwise, "and the ensemble playing is civilized, sophisticated and clean." The Boston Phoenix's Jon Garelick adds, "Musillami sounds familiar—this is swinging jazz guitar, after all—but not quite like anyone else."
In a career that spans more than 25 years, Musillami has worked extensively as a performer, bandleader/composer and educator. In addition to his flagship trio with Fonda and Schuller, which has performed in the U.S., Canada and Europe and released three CDs since 2002, he has earned critical notice as the leader of groups ranging from duo to octet featuring such prominent collaborators as Cameron Brown, Thomas Chapin, Drew Gress, Mario Pavone, Michael Sarin and Matt Wilson. He is also the longtime Director of Jazz Studies at The Hotchkiss School and founder/director of the acclaimed Playscape Recordings label, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2009.

You know the little maps by the coordinates and also the bigger map that is displayed below the decrypt alphabet. I asked this same question on the Groundspeak forums but couldn't get a definative answer. Any suggestions as to why they are not showing and how I can get them back. Thanks Haffy

Average earner will need £300,000 pension pot
5th January 2018
The average earner will need a combined pension pot of around £300,000 to maintain their pre-retirement lifestyle, according to analysis from Aegon.
The figure is based on findings from the government's auto-enrolment review, published in December 2017, which set out the percentage of earnings that savers should aim for in order to maintain their lifestyle.
According to these rates, an individual on average earnings of £27,000 should be aiming for a retirement income of 67% - or £18,000.
This would require an additional £809 each month, provided through private and workplace pensions, on top of the full state pension, which current annuity rates suggest would cost £301,500.
However, the auto-enrolment review suggests that 12 million people are not saving enough to meet the estimated requirements.
Steve Cameron, pensions director at Aegon, said:
"While automatic enrolment is helping plug the pension gap for employees, many of us face a shortfall which won't go away on its own.
"The earlier you take steps to put a bit more aside, the better, and a good new year's resolution would be to ask your employer if they'd be prepared to match any increase you make with an increased employer contribution."

Tipperary Summer Camp 2018 - Senior Group
This Summer Camp group is a great opportunity for children aged 10 to 13 to become confident with Science, Design and Technology. Your child will get hands on with new projects, challenges and experiments every day and we will provide a large variety of materials, so they'll never get bored. Check out our junior Summer Camp group if you want to register a child aged 7 to 9 years old.
Our interactive lessons are designed by educators, scientists and engineers. Activities vary according to location as we rotate them each Summer, so that your child has a different experience every year. Designer Minds Summer Camps for kids are all about STEAM!
S is for Science. We vary the science activities at camps every Summer. This year, all children will make slime, create electric circuits and explore chromatography!
T is for Technology. Children at all Summer camps will produce a stop motion animation movie every year as this is a firm favourite and a fantastic activity for easing into the week and making new friends. We also make sure to include robots and coding at all Summer camps, but we have lots of different robotic kits, so your child will get a different one each Summer.
E is for Engineering. Fun, interactive challenges using LEGO®, k'nex, robots, electronics and more. Again, we vary the challenges and keep things interesting every Summer!
A is for Art. Children will design their own t-shirts and work on creative projects which will also be influenced by science, engineering and technology concepts.
M is for Maths. Maths is everywhere at Designer Minds and often kids don't even notice! Our Minecraft, coding, engineering, science and robotics challenges all involve a little or a lot of the M in STEAM!
When weather permits, children will spend a little time each day outdoors. They will need to bring a packed lunch (no nuts!) and we recommend that children wear old clothing as Science and Art projects can be messy.
Camp runs for 4 hours daily and costs €125

I am currently lOoking for someone to make a music video for me (due to the fact that I am thuroughly uncreative and horrible at making videos). I have brought up the idea with a few other people in the past but it is always shot down by any decent amv makers due to its content. I was told that these boards would be the place to find someone capable/willing to put together this little abomination that I'm looking for.
Because of the subject matter, I have come to wholy expect that there may be people out there willing to create said video, but reluctant to admit they had anything to do with it. As such, if you feel that you are right for this job, but don't want anyone else to know you are right for it, please feel free to simply pm me rather than responding to this thread. Fortunately, I don't foresee this being an issue on a board full of bronies.
So, without any further misdirection, hear is what I am looking for. I am in need of someone to create a music video combining the song "The Coming Curse" by Iced Earth with scenes from the show (and this is where we have lost the last dozen or so video maakers) "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." To clarify, that is an adorably-drawn cartoon show set to an Anti-Christ themed heavy metal song... There are a few alterior motives as to why this needs to be made, but suffice to say it will be mainly to give the old male fans of the show another aspect of it to enjoy... Additionally this is also part of an experiment to see if the mere creation of this video will cause Jon Schaffer (whom I have a great deal of respect for, don't get me wrong) to spontaniously combust... So your doing it for science too, if that helps motivate you.
Alright, well I guess thats about it. Ask any questions you like or any comments you may have.

We hear a lot about assisted living communities these days. If we need to learn more, we check out glossy brochures that describe each place in considerable and colorful detail. Sometimes we visit the community for a meal or to participate in a special event.
What we don't see when we help a family member consider whether or not to move into an assisted living residence are the small details — the daily interactions of various personalities, the stories of individual community residents, and the ongoing narrative or body politic of daily life.
On her blog, Assisted Living: An Insider's View, Carol Netzer, a four-year resident of an assisted living community, shares stories, experiences, and observations. A psychologist by training, Netzer possesses a keen eye for detail and a knack for storytelling. Each post describes a situation, a person, or an event, providing readers with a window through which to observe the successes and challenges of the day-to-day assisted living experience.

PhenoPath Laboratories Customer Story
PhenoPath Laboratories automate quality control procedures using Alfresco on the iPad, saving time and increasing worker productivity.
- 96% improvement in on time completion of review of standard operating procedures (SOPs)
- 100% reduction in time needed to renter data
- Reduced risk of non-compliance
- Greater control of documents
- Potential to scale with future growth
- Automated and seamless records management
PhenoPath Laboratories, PLLC is a physician-owned pathology reference laboratory providing diagnostic and contract research services to hospitals, physician offices, surgery centers, biopharmaceutical companies and research institutions nationwide.
As a healthcare organization, PhenoPath is subject to regulations mandated by a growing list of government and professional bodies including the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), The College of American Pathologists, and the Departments of Health Services for Washington, California, Florida, New York, Rhode Island and Maryland. These regulations include strict requirements for managing and controlling the company's Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) throughout their life cycle from creation, revision, periodic (annual) review and finally to retirement.
Since PhenoPath's inception, this has been a manual process managed by the Document Control Coordinator and involved many steps, each of which needed appropriate sign-off and documentation. As PhenoPath grew the task became more and more onerous, as this manual approach was time intensive, inefficient and did not account for user mobility needs. It became apparent that an automated system better fit the company's long-term needs.
PhenoPath evaluated multiple document management systems including Documentum, Interwoven, Microsoft SharePoint and Alfresco. In addition to the functional and user requirements that were used to evaluate these solutions, ensuring seamless integration with company's Macs, along with PCs and Linux boxes, was an important consideration.
After the evaluation process, PhenoPath decided that open source Alfresco offered the best document management platform for the company. The other systems were more expensive — at almost double the cost — and did not offer the same flexibility, mobile capabilities and Apple support.
Reva Solutions, an Alfresco Partner and experts in mobile application development, helped PhenoPath implement Alfresco and recommended making the solution mobile using Apple iPads. Reva's four-phased approach includes: (1) managing SOP automatically; (2) developing a mobile employee Training Module; (3) managing assessments using iPads; and (4) using Alfresco as PhenoPath's corporate intranet.
Reva implemented Alfresco as the central document repository for all PhenoPath standard operating procedures, including customized workflows to document approval at different steps in the process.
Reva also built a custom mobile application to integrate competency assessments within Alfresco using XML forms. This will replace the manual assessments performed by PhenoPath supervisors. Assessments developed as templates will be stored in the Alfresco repository where they can be called up at any time via the iPad application. Using this mobile solution, a supervisor can observe the employee performing their job tasks and record the results on the iPad. After successful completion of the assessment both the employee and supervisor will be able to signoff directly on the iPad resulting in the record being immediately stored in the employee's training file. This system will eliminate paperwork altogether and ensure proper record keeping, and will allow for easy verification of whether a competency assessment has been performed for any given employee, a win for all.
The Alfresco solution also incorporates advanced workflow technology for creating and modifying SOPs to ensure that PhenoPath meets Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and compliance with the FDA's 21 CFR 11 by providing auditing, reporting and security.
As a result of going paperless and automating the process, PhenoPath saw immediate improvements in the on-time annual review rate of SOPs; jumping from two percent to 60 percent weeks after implementation; and to 98% after six months.
- Automated and streamlined standard operating procedure management for documents, increasing efficiency and regulatory compliance.
- The enterprise-wide mobile application on iPad will help to manage assessment data in a meaningful way and store it in Alfresco.
- Reduced risk for noncompliance, due to automation.
What's Next
With Reva's help, PhenoPath plans to continue building on its Alfresco investment. The company is working on a training module that will make it easy for lab technicians to both access and track training; and for managers to see what training tasks have been assigned to each technician. Specifically:
- A cross-reference of user's job functions and required training (including being trained and knowledgeable on specific SOPs)
- Ability to assign training (SOPs) to users based on their job function and, if necessary, in an ad hoc fashion.
- Ability to document that the user has checked out the SOP
- Ability to document completion of the training (supervisor approval)
- Ability to store training documentation in a user's training file
Using the Alfresco Share interface, PhenoPath and Reva are building a dashboard that will provide users with a list of training-related activities. This will allow workers and supervisors to view a list of their training tasks for the day and the associated documentation or assessments that need to be completed.
Reva also continues to work with PhenoPath on their mobile strategy.

La Nouba des Femmes du Mont-Chenoua
A film by
Assia Djebar
Algeria, 1977, 115 minutes, Color, DVD, Subtitled
Order No. W99620
Finally available in the United States, this classic film from acclaimed novelist and filmmaker Assia Djebar is essential viewing for an understanding of women in Algeria. Taking its title and structure from the �Nouba," a traditional song of five movements, this haunting film mingles narrative and documentary styles to document the creation of women�s personal and cultural histories.
Returning to her native region 15 years after the end of the Algerian war, Lila is obsessed by memories of the war for independence that defined her childhood. In dialogue with other Algerian women, she reflects on the differences between her life and theirs. In lyrical footage she contemplates the power of grandmothers who pass down traditions of anti-colonial resistance to their heirs. Reading the history of her country as written in the stories of women�s lives, Assia Djebar�s LA NOUBA DES FEMMES DU MONT-CHENOUA is an engrossing portrait of speech and silence, memory and creation, and a tradition where the past and present coexist.
Widely hailed as one of the most important figures in francophone Maghrebian literature, Djebar is the author of more than a dozen books, including A SISTER TO SCHEHEREZADE and WOMEN OF ALGIERS IN THEIR APARTMENT. She is currently Professor and Director of the Center for French and Francophone Studies at the Louisiana State University.

�La Nouba is a film of rare intelligence.�
Ahmed Bedjaoui
Revue des 2 Ecrans
�Assia Djebar always listens as much as she watches and records, from the special, not to say privileged perspective of a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary woman. Her vision is therefore unique.�
David Wills
University at Albany-SUNY
�When she films La Nouba, Djebar views her appropriation of the camera as a challenge to colonial and patriarchal domination, an important political and symbolic event in the liberation and empowerment of Algerian women.�

This is the time of year when the end of year news starts to wane and winery neighbors come out of their cellars to see if they have a shadow then discuss microbial spoilage, stuck fermentations and quite often these days - their strategy to market their wines and how to do it in the context of a changed economy. Take a look and listen at just such an exchange in the above movie.
Hopefully you're recognizing consumer purchasing patterns have been going through wild gyrations in the past 5 years. That will continue but today, with the mass affluent consumer just starting to show some stubborn life as real estate prices bottom, its the perfect time to think about what will drive the middle class consumers purchasing this year and into next. Forget about Millennials or Boomers. It's what we used to call the Aspiring Affluent that will be the next real growth segment though my bet it that is going to end up comprised mostly of Gen X - the forgotten generation. Why will the Aspiring Affluent buy your wine and not your good old wine making neighbor's wine in the next few years?
I consistently drive winery owners to identify their consumers through the use of CRM, and define a strategy to drive value. Now if you are selling out everything on allocation, you might say to yourself: "Self? I don't sell on value. I am all about scarcity." If that's the way you're thinking then you are lucky to be in business because all products are purchased on value. It's your role as a marketer to define what value should mean to your consumer and make sure your buyer knows it.
How you do that is very long discussion but before signing off this week, I'd like to ask how are you tracking consumer experience? How do you measure it? How do you know what someone in a restaurant experiences when they drink your wine? How do you know if one of your top influencers or wine buyers had a bad experience?
Feel free to offer your thoughts on the above, and offer ideas how you or your wine making neighbor enhance experience to drive value.

HONG KONG—For many of the richest people in Hong Kong, one of Asia's wealthiest cities, home is a mansion with an expansive view from the heights of Victoria Peak. For some of the poorest, like Leung Cho-yin, home is a metal cage.
The 67-year-old former butcher pays 1,300 Hong Kong dollars ($167) a month for one of about a dozen wire mesh cages resembling rabbit hutches crammed into a dilapidated apartment in a gritty, working-class West Kowloon neighborhood.
The cages, stacked on top of each other, measure 1.5 square meters (16 square feet). To keep bedbugs away, Leung and his roommates put thin pads, bamboo mats, even old linoleum on their cages' wooden planks instead of mattresses.
"I've been bitten so much I'm used to it," said Leung, rolling up the sleeve of his oversized blue fleece jacket to reveal a red mark on his hand. "There's nothing you can do about it. I've got to live here. I've got to survive," he said as he let out a phlegmy cough.
Some 100,000 people in the former British colony live in what's known as inadequate housing, according to the Society for Community Organization, a social welfare group. The category also includes apartments subdivided into tiny cubicles or filled with coffin-sized wood and metal sleeping compartments as well as rooftop shacks. They're a grim counterpoint to the southern Chinese city's renowned material affluence.
Forced by skyrocketing housing prices to live in cramped, dirty and unsafe conditions, their plight also highlights one of the biggest headaches facing Hong Kong's unpopular Beijing-backed leader: growing public rage over the city's housing crisis.
Leung Chun-ying took office as Hong Kong's chief executive in July pledging to provide more affordable housing in a bid to cool the anger. Home prices rose 23 percent in the first 10 months of 2012 and have doubled since bottoming out in 2008 during the global financial crisis, the International Monetary Fund said in a report last month. Rents have followed a similar trajectory.
The soaring costs are putting decent homes out of reach of a large portion of the population while stoking resentment of the government, which controls all land for development, and a coterie of wealthy property developers. Housing costs have been fuelled by easy credit thanks to ultralow interest rates that policymakers can't raise because the currency is pegged to the dollar. Money flooding in from mainland Chinese and foreign investors looking for higher returns has exacerbated the rise.

NASCAR paid tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings before and during Sunday's STP 400 at Kansas Speedway.
TRIBUTE: NASCAR teams announce plans
FULL COVERAGE: Boston Marathon bombings
HENDRICK: NASCAR team member brother of slain MIT officer
Before the race, the track held a moment of silence for the victims and heroes of the bombings and their aftermath.
During the race, several cars were sporting special paint schemes or decals.
David Stremme's car had a paint scheme of the Boston tribute ribbon on its hood.
And as announced last week, the cars of Michael Waltrip Racing had Boston Marathon bibs on the doors for Clint Bowyer, Mark Martin and Martin Truex Jr.
Roush Fenway Racing, which is half owned by the same group that owns the Red Sox and Fenway Park, will donate $100 for every lap their team leads during Sunday's race to "The One Fund Boston," which was established this past week to help people most affected by the tragedy.
The cars of Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. carried the 'B' Strong logo.
On Friday, Hendrick Motorsports announced machinist Andrew Collier is the brother of slain MIT police officer Sean Collier.

Anyway, to kick off 2013 (with a resolution to be a better blogger) here's OPI Moonraker. The reviews of this were pretty lukewarm but I actually really like it. It's a lightly bluish gunmetal. Lots of bloggers have complained about streaks but I don't think it's any worse than most chromes - I always use a seche vite sandwich (base coat, two coats colour, SV, another coat of colour) which makes the finish reasonably smooth and hardwearing. And I find this colour a nice, practical neutral.

Breaking News
Chris Brown is calling the infamous Rihanna beating in 2009 the "deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake."
Brown told the UK Mirror, "Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals."
He added, "But she loves me -- what can I say? I'm forgiven ... but, yes, I worked hard for it."
You'll recall, Brown infamously brutalized Rihanna on the night of the Grammys back in 2009. He pled "guilty" to felony assault following the incident and was sentenced to probation and community service. He and Rihanna are now officially back together.
So we gotta ask ...

Mayor's Office
Beginning May 31, children enrolled in Lincoln Parks and Recreation's Camp Energy program at Irving Recreation Center will participate in the Wise Kids® program. It is a nationwide program committed to fostering healthy living that has been designed to teach kids about wellness, and to help them learn to make wise decisions about nutrition and exercise.
Wise Kids focuses on making good choices that will get kids healthy and keep them healthy for a lifetime. The program incorporates workbooks, games and activities designed to get kids moving and to teach them about critical wellness concepts related to Energy Balance. That is, Energy (or calories) IN should equal Energy (or calories) OUT to best manage weight and stay healthy.
"We are concerned about the life-long effects of childhood obesity and committed to promoting active living in our community," said Dan Payzant, Irving Rec. Center director. "Day camp is a great place to help children understand all the fun things they can do to stay healthy and enjoy life to its fullest."
The Wise Kids curriculum has been evaluated by the University of Minnesota and has been shown to have a positive impact on children's attitudes and behaviors towards healthy living. The program also positively impacted participating children's BMI (body mass index). Lincoln Parks and Recreation is taking a leadership role in creating healthy youth and a healthier community by offering Wise Kids during its Camp Energy summer program at Irving Recreation Center.
"The Wise Kids program offers children an experiential chance to learn about the importance of making wise, balanced choices in food and activity," said Melissa Hanson, President of the Säjai® Foundation. "Working with youth to help them better understand how they can be healthier will equip them with the knowledge and skills to begin a life-long journey towards healthy living.
Camp Energy at Irving Recreation Center is a summer program for kids who are currently enrolled in grades 3 and 4. The program will run May 31-August 12, Monday-Friday, 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Camp activities will include Wise Kids, individual and group games, archery, swimming, tennis, reading, special interest clubs, and more. The fee is $104 per week, and families can register for individual weeks. Need based scholarships are available for families who qualify.
The Wise Kids program was created by the Säjai Foundation in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). The Foundation is a nonprofit organization working to combat childhood obesity by developing wellness programs for youth. NRPA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing park, recreation and conservation efforts that enhance quality of life for all people.

Oliver, I agree that some of the suggestions are a little bit out there. However, lets not discourage members from posting here in suggestions. If they have an idea, perhaps it could be developed further and eventually might become one of those "Infected Neutrals" or "Poker Spoils" type of suggestions that garners a lot of support and commentary from other users.
"Bad" ideas tend to get little response from the community that supports the suggestion, whereas the ones with considerable support tend to get submitted for review...
In my opinion, the thing that discourages most from making new suggestions is seeing that none of them gets implemented. And that instead of that we get a feature that was available in clickable maps.
Is not that they are implemented one at a time. Is that they are not implemented at all. Infected Neutrals has been around for how many years?

On last night's episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska, TLC tried a cruel and unusual experiment by putting together arguably two of the most controversial women/public figures in recent times.
Kate Gosselin and her plus eight made a special appearance on Sarah Palin's show this weekend, as she joined the Palin family for what was supposed to be a fun camping adventure.
Kate however made that impossible as she pretty much whined and complained from the minute she got there. In fact, Palin's father put it best when he stated Kate "bitched from the moment she got off the plane."
"Look there's a bear on the floor, did anyone notice?" said Kate in a patronizing tone upon arriving at Sarah's home and things only got worse from there. Below are just a few of Kate's bitchy comments through out the show –
"I'm worried about my toes; they're freezing."
"I've been bitten [by bugs] about 200 times — it's horrible."
"I'm miserable, but somebody's gotta be."
"This is cruel and unusual punishment."
And before the camping trip was officially over, the Kate Plus 8 mom decided she was over the entire thing. "This is ridiculous!" Kate shrieked. "I just don't get it! There are no paper towels! I'm freezing to the bone, I have 19 layers on, my hands are frigid! … I held it together as long as I could, and I'm done now."
Yikes. As for Sarah Palin's response to Kate's bad attitude, she tweeted the following – "Life=10% circumstances, 90% your reaction to circumstances. Sunday's "Sarah Palin's AK 'Alaskan Hospitality'" episode illustrates that a bit."

No. 85,4171
1. Protection from abuse orders issued under the Protection from Abuse Act, K.S.A. 60-3101 et seq., are normally transitory in nature, frequently develop in emergency situations, and may involve risk to the lives of some or all of the parties involved. Because of these considerations, an appellate court is reluctant to substitute its judgment for that of the trial court which is in the best position to judge whether the situation requires an order of protection from abuse. Only an egregious breach of the trial court's discretion would prompt an appellate court to undo a decree protecting one of the parties to a domestic relations action from abuse.
2. A protection from abuse order under the Protection from Abuse Act may be based on intentionally attempting to cause bodily injury. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 60-3102. When there is substantial competent evidence in the record of such an attempt, a spouse is not required by law to prove the other spouse actually caused bodily injury before being entitled to an order of protection from abuse.
3. The discipline of children and the abuse of spouses share little common ground, yet these disparate family interactions fall under the same legislative enactment. The conclusion in Paida v. Leach, 260 Kan. 292, 301, 917 P. 2d 1342 (1996), that bodily injury under the Protection from Abuse Act requires a finding of substantial pain and impairment must be confined to and considered within the context of the rest of that opinion which was concerned with limiting trial court discretion and intervention in the way parents discipline their children.
4. A trial court is not required to find substantial pain and impairment before concluding that a spouse was abused as a matter of law and issuing a protection from abuse order. The trial court is required to look at all the circumstances in a particular case and render a finding of abuse if it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence.
5. The trial court, as the sole arbitrator of the credibility of witnesses and under all the circumstances of this case, was free to disbelieve that the stepparent's hittings of the stepson were merely spankings and to find that these hittings amounted to an infliction of pain and impairment rising to the level where the child needed an order of protection.
6. The trial court may look at familial relationships when issuing protection from abuse orders and avoid applying different standards so as not to undermine the order issued to one or the other of the family group.
7. The statutory scheme of the Protection from Abuse Act is designed to promote the protection of the victims and make access to the court easy and prompt. Because the trial court is charged with exercising its discretion in light of all the circumstances presented, the Act does not require a trial court to focus on the timing of either recent abuse or future risk as a condition precedent to issuing an order pursuant to the Act.
Appeal from Johnson District Court; THOMAS E. FOSTER, judge. Opinion filed October 12, 2001. Affirmed.
Ronald W. Nelson, of Rose & Nelson, of Overland Park, for the appellant.
No appearance by the appellee.
Before GREEN, P.J., LEWIS, J., and JACK L. BURR, District Judge, assigned.
LEWIS, J.: Arby Lee Trolinger filed an action seeking a divorce from appellee Valerie S. Trolinger. Approximately 1 week later, Valerie filed a protection from abuse action under the Protection from Abuse Act, K.S.A. 60-3101 et seq. The trial court issued a protection from abuse order, restraining Arby from abusing, threatening to abuse, harassing, molesting, or in any way disturbing the peace of Valerie or her minor child. The order went on to state that Arby should have no contact with Valerie. Arby appeals from the protection from abuse order.
It is rare that we see an appeal from the issuance of a protection from abuse order. This is probably due to the fact that such things are normally transitory in nature and operate for a limited amount of time. Be that as it may, we have before us an action in which it is argued that the trial court had no authority under the evidence to issue the order in question.
We pause to note that this court is extremely reluctant to involve itself in something as subjective as an order for protection from abuse. These matters frequently develop in emergency situations, and the ultimate judgment of the trial court in a case such as this may literally involve risk to the lives of all or some of the parties involved. Our view of these cases is a view based on the printed word as it comes to us in the record on appeal. We are quite reluctant to substitute our judgment based on that record for the much more objective judgment of the trial judge, who is there in the courtroom and is able to view the parties and make a real-life judgment on the situation that exists. It is only in a case of the most egregious breach of the trial court's discretion that this court would become involved in second-guessing a trial court's decision in entering a decree protecting one of the parties to a domestic relations action from abuse.
With the veracity expressed above and the background, we proceed to the merits of Arby's arguments on appeal.
Valerie never specifically testified that Arby had done great physical harm to her, but she did testify that he had frightened her and that she was afraid of him. According to Valerie, Arby had made a point of having a discussion with her and told her how he could make bodies disappear. According to Valerie, Arby kept loaded weapons in the home, and the Oklahoma authorities had investigated him for possible involvement in the disappearance of his former wife. On one occasion, Valerie attempted to call her son while she was at home and found the phone had been disconnected, a car key was missing from her keyring, and the garage was padlocked.
Valerie testified about regular instances in which Arby would restrain her against her will by squeezing her to a point where she feared he was going to crack one of her ribs. She also testified that Arby had hit her son. According to Valerie, she was constantly in fear that Arby would do bodily injury to her and to her son.
Arby basically denied everything. He admitted he kept loaded guns around the house and that he had told Valerie about his missing ex-wife and even admitted he had discussions with Valerie about how to "get rid of bodies." However, Arby had peaceful and reasonable explanations to give for all of these incidents. He admitted to hitting Valerie's son but claimed the three incidents were spankings and approved by Valerie.
As to Valerie's testimony concerning the fact that Arby frequently squeezed her to the point she feared he was going to crack a rib, Arby gave an equally benevolent explanation. According to Arby, he was only hugging her and had no intention of causing her injury.
After hearing the testimony of both parties, the trial judge concluded that Valerie
"established by a preponderance of evidence that there was intentional bodily injury in the form of squeezing. That there wereand that the defendant attempted to cause bodily injury to the plaintiff. And it's on that basis that I am granting the petition for protection from abuse."
After further discussion, the judge also ruled:
"[T]he defendant is restrained and shall not abuse, threaten to abuse, harass, molest or anyway disturb the peace of the plaintiff or her minor child wherever they may be. Defendant shall have no contact with the plaintiff [and the child]."
The judge went on to clarify the restraining order and its relationship to Arby's stepson as follows:
"Well, I didn't make aI guess I didn't make a finding one way or another. There were allegations that the child wasthere was physical hitting of the child as well and, therefore, I think it's appropriate to have a no contact order concerning him as well.
. . . .
"I am going to find that by a preponderance of the evidence that there was intentionalthat there was bodily harm against [the stepson] by the defendant."
Arby argues that the trial court erred in basing its orders on the squeezing of Valerie and on his hitting her minor son. It is his position that the orders had to be based on a finding of substantial physical pain or impairment to support the conclusion that Arby abused Valerie and her son by intentionally causing bodily injury under the facts.
Arby does not challenge the trial court's findings of fact but rather its conclusion of law.
K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 60-3102 provides in part:
"As used in this act, 'abuse' means the occurrence of one or more of the following acts between persons who reside together, who formerly resided together or who have or has had a child in common:
"(a) Intentionally attempting to cause bodily injury, or intentionally or recklessly causing bodily injury.
"(b) Intentionally placing, by physical threat, another in fear of imminent bodily injury." (Emphasis added.)
We conclude that Arby's argument is without merit since an order may be based on intentionally attempting to cause bodily injury. We conclude there was substantial competent evidence in the record that Arby at the very least attempted to cause bodily injury to Valerie. There was no requirement under the law that Valerie had to prove that Arby actually drew blood or caused her bodily injury before she was entitled to the order.
Arby bases his argument on the decision of Paida v. Leach, 260 Kan. 292, 301, 917 P.2d 1342 (1996). In that case, the court concluded that bodily injury under the Protection from Abuse Act requires a finding of substantial pain or impairment. However, that definition is not a broad one and must be confined to and considered within the context of the rest of the opinion.
The court in Paida was faced with drawing a line between acceptable parental discipline of a child and unacceptable parental conduct which causes more than minor or inconsequential injury to the child. In particular, the court was concerned with the boundary of State intrusion and sought to limit trial court discretion and intervention in the way parents discipline their children. The court specifically recognized:
"The discipline of children and the abuse of spouses share little common ground. Because these disparate family interactions fall under the same legislative enactment, the trial court can and should determine in light of all the circumstances in each individual case whether the plaintiff has shown abuse by a preponderance of the evidence. Those circumstances will include the age of the alleged victim and his or her relationship to the alleged abuser. Neither reason nor the limits clearly expressed by the legislature in the Act permits a trial court judge to overlook the infliction of bodily injury. However, the Act is not intended to dictate acceptable parental discipline or unnecessarily interfere in the parent/child relationship absent a clear need to protect the child." (Emphasis added.) 260 Kan. at 300.
As will be noted, the court in Paida indicated that the trial court needs to determine whether a plaintiff has shown abuse in light of the circumstances in each individual case. Paida does not establish a bright line rule that the victim must actually show that he or she has shed blood or suffered real physical pain in order to obtain an order which may avoid that circumstance.
We hold the trial court was not required to find substantial pain and impairment before concluding that Valerie was abused as a matter of law. The trial court is required to look at all the circumstances and render a finding of abuse if it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence. We conclude the trial court did that in this particular matter. Its finding of attempted abuse is sufficient to support the issuance of the order in this case.
Arby then argues the order was in error when it restrained him from coming around his stepson. The trial court based its ruling concerning the stepson on the physical hitting done by Arby. Arby portrays these incidents as spankings.
As pointed out earlier, it is very difficult for this court to make a factual determination in a case of this nature. We understand that people's lives and well-being are concerned and that the trial court is the best judge as to whether there has been abuse sufficient to require an order of the type entered in this case. The trial court is the sole arbitrator as to the credibility of the witnesses and must determine which witness it believes. As we read this trial court's decision, it did not believe Arby's explanation that these hittings were merely spankings. It did believe that Arby had inflicted pain or impairment on his stepson and that the child needed to be protected from Arby by the order issued. We conclude that under all the circumstances of this case, the trial court did not err in finding that Valerie had shown abuse of her son by Arby by a preponderance of the evidence. We, therefore, affirm the trial court's order insofar as it relates to the stepson.
One problem with Arby's argument is that it literally suggests that we apply a different standard to his stepson than we have applied to Valerie. This is not a workable solution; Valerie and her son are a family, they live together, and to apply different standards would simply undermine the order issued to one or the other of the family group. We do not intend to do that, and we believe the trial court can look at the familial relationships and the problems which might be caused by applying one standard to Valerie and another to her son.
In any event, we find no error with the order for protection from abuse insofar as Valerie or her son are concerned.
Arby finally argues that the alleged actions he took against Valerie and her son were not recent in time and did not present an ongoing risk to Valerie and her son and, because of that fact, did not warrant the issuance of an order for protection from abuse. We disagree.
K.S.A. 60-3101(b) provides that the Act shall be liberally construed "to promote the protection of victims of domestic violence from bodily injury or threats of bodily injury and to facilitate access to judicial protection for the victims."
We have no intention of interfering with the ability of the trial court to protect victims of domestic violence. The fact that the actions testified to may not be recent in time and may not present an ongoing risk are factors which must be considered by the trial court in determining whether it is appropriate to issue an order for protection from abuse. We believe it would be contrary to the intent of the law to hold that no order could be issued unless the acts of violence were recent and presented an immediate threat to the victims who seek protection.
The statutory scheme is designed to promote protection of the victims and make access to the court easy and prompt. For that reason, the trial court is simply charged to exercise its discretion in light of the circumstances presented. The circumstances presented would include such factors as those Arby now insists must be proven to obtain an order. We hold that the Act does not require focusing on the timing of either recent abuse or future risk as a condition precedent to the issuance of an order for protection from abuse.

Divorce and remarriage have been on my mind more often lately. Maybe it's because all the royal wedding buzz last week reminded me another April wedding, mine. All the talk of the royal nuptials may have reminded me that the date of what would have been my 15-year wedding anniversary to Nico's dad was approaching. I knew it was coming, but then forgot about it until the day actually passed. I didn't think about it, until I did.
Maybe divorce and remarriage been on my mind too because Nico, my son, our son, just got back from a wonderful week-long vacation with his dad for spring break. His dad took him to Kauai, Hawaii. That was the last place his dad and I traveled to as a family. We went the summer before Nico turned 2, when he was still a "lap child" and we didn't have to pay for his seat. The 5 hour flight seemed to go on forever, as Nico, then 21 months preferred my cushy thighs to his dad's bony legs. Once we landed though, we had a great time on our vacation.
Who knew that four months later our world would come crashing down and we would separate and then divorce? I was devastated. I felt like part of me died. After the initial trauma and grief I realized that eventually I would heal . For Nico, though, I wasn't sure how he would get through it. Granted, he was only two-years old so he really couldn't understand any of it, but his routine was upset. Even though I knew that I had given the marriage all I could, and I knew that I couldn't do it any longer, I thought that maybe Nico deserved for us to keep trying. Was I being too selfish? I kept thinking what it would mean for him? How terrible would be for me to miss out on half his life, as he divided his time with weekly stays between two houses? I thought about how it would feel for him to have the two people who loved him the most, never be together again. What about the lost opportunity for him to have a brother or a sister?
My concerns were real then, but now that his dad and I don't let the pain and sadness of our former marriage influence (too much) the way we treat each other; now that Nico and his dad's relationship is closer than ever; now that I am in a happy, fulfilling marriage; now that Nico has a step-dad, siblings and an even larger circle of people who love him, I realize that while divorce can be difficult and sad, it doesn't have to be tragic. While it is definitely the end of a marriage, the end of a familiar family structure, my divorce meant the beginning of a new way of life for me and it allowed me to create a new way of considering "family." Nico's dad and I have settled into an amicable co-parenting relationship, my marriage to Juan is more intimate and loving than I could ever have envisioned, and it has given Nico a brother and two sisters. This was certainly not the way I intended my marriage to Nico's dad would go when I made those vows on an April date 15 years ago–there was no happily ever after fairy-tale ending. But, the life I am living and the family I am creating now, is its own unique story.

Sub Pop Invents the "mp3"
R Buckminster Fuller once said, "I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I've invented," and this would be wholly unremarkable but for the fact that Harry D. Hudson, Sub Pop's Master of Technolo-something, said nearly this same thing to me about a new product that he is now prepared to offer for sale exclusively on this very website. What is this mysterious invention that will revolutionize the world as we know it? What ungodly creation has Dr. Hudson and the somewhat evil-seeming Professor Fletcher brought to life in their old-timey laboratory? They're called mp3s! "Mp3" apparently stands for "music product 3": a mysterious, invisible computer thingy which can be made to produce sounds not unlike music. It is just this sort of devotion to innovative, cutting edge technology that has made Sub Pop Records the unwitting industry leader it is today. Take that, everyone else—Sub Pop has invented the mp3! And now, we'd like to sell some of these things to you.
Since this program is in its infancy we have only a very limited number of mp3s available at this time, and we're only offering full album downloads. We're no dummies so we went ahead and mp3'd the big guns—all the Shins albums, the Postal Service, Flight of the Conchords, the new Band of Horses and new Iron and Wine albums are all available as downloadable zip files containing 192k mp3s and high quality cover art for $9.90 per album, except for the FOC ep which is a mere $5.94. We will be adding to this list just as soon as we're able. This is the future—bask in its glory before someone steals our idea. Oh also, please email Dean at firstname.lastname@example.com with questions, concerns, or failures.

And we thought we were done with all of this.
A year after heavy speculation surrounding Les Miles and a possible departure to Michigan eventually resulted in Louisiana State University negotiating a new deal for its head coach, Miles is back in the rumor mill again. The Seattle Times is reporting that Miles may be a candidate at the University of Washington.
For the LSU Tigers fans out there who've been calling for his head in recent weeks, this news may provide reason to change their tune rather quickly.
Of course on the surface, the possibility seems remote. Miles has a good thing going at LSU, and he turned his alma mater (Michigan) down just a season ago.
But with the Tigers sitting at 3-4 in the SEC a year after winning the national title, the aforementioned critics have been howling quite a bit lately, and it has to make the coach feel a little uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable enough to bolt for the Great Northwest?
Time will tell.

#CheapandCheerful Foodie Crawl Mahim – Dadar
I'm so excited. New, spicy, foodie finds. Now, I know what Columbus mustve felt like. Except that he, the compulsive explorer did not have the benefit of Twitter. Like I do. Heres how I went on my voyage of discovery: I tweetrequested for recommendations of "cheap and cheerful eateries". Fabulous response (wish I could thank each one here). Shortlisted a few in the Mahim-Dadar area. Invited three twitter buddies. @CulinaryMuse1 turned out to be the lovely Sunayan Shahani in pearls, foodblogger communicatns consultant and student. Knowledgable Parag Chaphekar marketing professional chucked up his succesful consultancy and is an aspiring restaurantowner. Rushing straight to the golf course (my mecca too) was foodie extraordinaire and ace golfer, Krishna Kilachand, he wanted to serve up the gourmet burger to Mumbai so set up "Burg". We went on a whirlwind tasting tour of cheap and cheerful joints. We call it our #tweefoodeecrawl. Many more are planned. Be my guest…Twitter handle @rashmiudaysingh mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
SNEHA (Kerala)
Simple and simply superb, also cluttered, no frills and functional eatery from Kerala. Hot and uncomfy (inspite of the brown fans whirring overhead) we still walloped the lustily spiced Beef fry and beef biryani (beef is called sukha mutton on the menu) Equally delicious was the Mutton masala fry. While the veg stew and appams, soybean masala and the Kappa (tapioca) biryani were okayish the thin flavorsome fish curry rice was amazing. And Abraham the waiter (please see photo) charmed us. Idli dosa served at breakfast. Thalis too. After our restaurant round, I went back at 4pm to taste the banana fritters (these are served only at tea. Thanks @ebubblewrapped for this tip off) plump soft and crisp with golden batter. Steamed sweet panpoli too. Veggies stay away.

PRAKASH (Maharashtrian)
Packed and getting more packed. We stood in the snaking line outside the simple blue table and bench hallowed home of Maharashtrian food. Till a friendly bloke gave me a tip off, " in hurry ? order parcel". We did just that and in the car bit into the iconic piping hot sabudana vada crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Theres poha, thalipith, batata vada and more. Somewhat greasy but great.

Mayor Don Wesely today placed a moratorium on the use of city funds reappropriated from prior fiscal years until at least October 1, 2001 due to lower than expected sales tax revenues. Department directors have previously been able to request the Mayor's approval to use savings from the prior fiscal year to make one-time expenditures.
"This moratorium is a precautionary action to help ensure that if sales tax revenues continue to be lower than estimated, the city does not overspend," Wesely said. "If necessary, the reappropriated funds can be used to make up for lower sales tax revenue.
"Since the sales tax is such a significant portion of our city revenues, any further slowdown in collections would threaten the city's ability to meet future revenue projections and could result in a quicker than expected drawdown of our fund balances," Wesely wrote in a memo to directors and the City Council. "The moratorium will allow us to analyze two more months of collections before deciding if further precautionary steps are needed."
Wesely said further steps could include an extension of the moratorium or establishing a hiring freeze.
City Budget Officer Steve Hubka said net sales tax collections have leveled off, increasing just 1.56 percent over this time last year. He said the increases in revenue are much less than previous years because of a slowdown in the economy and relatively high refunds through Legislative Bill 775, which offers tax credits for job creation.
The city's fiscal year runs from September 1 through August 31. The City Council is scheduled to adopt the city budget for the 2001-2002 fiscal year today. The tax-funded portion of the budget totals $110.6 million. The budget includes a 2.9 percent decrease in the property tax rate and an increase in the telecommunications occupation tax from 3.8 to 5.5 percent.
Media Release

The numbers coming out of the Commerce Department on Thursday morning weren't on their face alarming for the Federal Reserve, but they certainly didn't make lives any easier — inflation is heating up while consumer spending seems lackluster. The PCE measure of inflation rose to 1.8% year-on-year — getting closer to the central bank's 2% target — while consumer spending rose just 0.2% on the month to take the year-on-year move to 3.7%.
"This report seems to present the Fed with the dreaded conflict between its objectives: slower economic growth but faster inflation," said Mike Moran, chief economist at Daiwa Capital Markets America.
More from Moran:
We suspect that Fed officials will be mildly concerned, but not alarmed, about recent developments. Consumer spending has hit an air pocket, but with the job market improving, activity should pickup. In addition, officials expected the rate of inflation to increase this year. The pickup has no doubt been much quicker than they anticipated, but the direction of change was expected. We suspect that the apparent conflict will lessen as time passes — consumer spending and economic activity will improve from the recent pace, and inflation will not continue to accelerate. If not, Fed policy will have to deviate from the expected path of gradual tightening beginning in mid-2015.
Lindsey Piegza, chief economist of Sterne Agee, had an even more pessimistic view.
Following yesterday's outsized downward revision to first-quarter GDP, this morning's consumption report does little to reinstate confidence in a near-term bounce in growth. After growing at the weakest pace in five years, consumer spending appears to be on a similar 1-1.5% trajectory in Q2. Many economists calling for a surge in spending because of pent-up demand created in Q1, have thus far been severely disappointed.
The MarketWatch consensus for second-quarter growth now stands at 3.6%, following the 2.9% contraction in the first quarter.
