COLUMBUS, Ga. – The King University softball team continued play at the Cougar Classic on Saturday and split a pair of games. The Tornado fell to Lincoln Memorial University 9-1, but bounced back to defeat Tusculum College 4-0 behind Hannah Light's second shutout in as many starts this season.
After Light sat the Pioneers (0-4) down in order in the top of the first, Fallon Thomas got the Tornado (2-1) on the board with a two-out home run to right center. Light worked around a pair of base runners in the second inning to keep the Tornado in the lead before King struck again in the third inning.
Chrissy Melcher led off the third with a single up the middle before Cassie Ringstaff lifted a long fly ball to center field. The ball went off the outfielder's glove before going over the right center field fence to extend King's lead to 3-0 after three innings.
Light stranded two more runners in each the four and fifth innings before the Tornado tacked on an insurance run in the sixth inning. With runners on the corners, Octavia Lewis-Rand ripped a sacrifice fly to center field to stretch the Tornado lead to 4-0. Light sat the Pioneers down in order in the seventh for her second win, and shutout in as many days.
Light struck out 12 hitters against just two walks in the victory while Melcher posted a team-high two hits and scored one run. Ringstaff drove in a pair to lead King.
Earlier in the day, the Tornado tried to use the momentum they gained from their opening day win on Friday early against Lincoln Memorial (3-0) as they tallied the game's first run in the top of the first inning. Melcher led off the game with a walk before she was retired on a fielder's choice on a Thomas groundball. Thomas advanced to second in a passed ball, and to third in a Hannah Smith single. Amber Walker drove her in to give King the 1-0 lead with an infield single.
After Morgan Lowe allowed a leadoff single followed by a walk in the first inning, she seemed to settle in. She stuck out back-to-back batters looking before getting the third out on a swinging strikeout to end the threat.
However, the Railsplitters broke through in the second inning after Lowe struck out the leadoff hitter. Payton Bruce registered a single before Lowe got another out, and looked to get out of the inning unscathed. Nevertheless, Jennifer Moose singled and Emilee Solomon followed with an RBI double to right center to even the score. Lincoln Memorial registered three more runs before Lowe got a line out to end the threat and leave the bases loaded.
Trailing 4-1, King tried to get back on the board in the third inning as a Thomas walk started a two-out rally. Smith followed with a single and Walker walked to load the bases. However, Lincoln Memorial pitcher Samantha Smith ended the threat with a strikeout.
The Railsplitters extended their lead to 6-1 with a pair of runs in the fourth before King placed runners on first and second in the fifth inning. However, the runners were stranded there, and Lincoln Memorial added two more runs in the bottom of the inning to stretch their lead to 8-1. The Railsplitters capped the 9-1 win with a single tally in the sixth inning, handing the Tornado their first loss of the year.
Smith led King at the plate, going 2-for-2 while Thomas and Walker registered the other two Tornado hits in the game.
King closes play at the Cougar Classic on Sunday when they face Wingate University at 10:30 a.m. and Pfeiffer University at 12:30 p.m.

Travel Clothes Review
this is a little after the event, but I did want to record my analysis of the clothes that I took on my recent trip - for next time.
I spent time making dresses for this trip and in summary, it wasn't the most successful endeavour. One dress I had to abandon altogether, and the other 2 were not 'cool enough'. I have never been to anywhere anything like as humid as Santo Domingo and of course I was out on the streets all day everyday. As my notes say, the fitted lined bodice of the blue and white dress was not very comfortable ( if I had been a good girl and had less scones before I went away, this might have not been just an issue)
I would like to live in dresses all the time, but they do take up more room than separates and require more washing effort. BTW, I hand washed my outfits each evening, gave them 10 minutes with the hair dryer and despite the humidity were ready to wear (if needed) 24 hours later. The secret pockets which I sew in between the box pleats of my favouirte dress pattern works like a treat. I also temporarily sewed inside pockets into my two skirts and these worked too- though it was a "I am accessing a money belt to get my credit card out" type of procedure to access. (Unlike my dress secret pockets which was so easy to use.)
My skirt was a bad decision As my notes say, it was my favourite skirt from my fat days( 4 years ago I weighed 22 kgs more!) and as my favourite skirt was a little fitted so sewing in an inside pocket, and I didn't have any other skirts quite suitable, I made a last minute decision to modify it(take in with multiple darts in the yoke) I used to love this skirt so much, but it feel way too full, and too heavy for the humidity- plus the modification made the ruffle go haywire. I do have plans to cut it up and make a slim-Liz version - and A line version just below the knee (my favourite length at the moment)
I have lots of ideas swimming in my head for better outfits for hot humid weather (looser fitting but still with shape, bias binding edging (no lining, no facing etc)... but if I go to a cooler climate next year (like the UK) I will have to think a little more to make it adaptable for different temperatures. I also want to sketch my ideas for the 'perfect' sketching outfit and then of course I have to start sewing again. How about make some dresses for summer?! rather than sewing them in winter and have the first wear on a trip.

Nobbys Arc needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 179 designs submitted by 59 freelance designers.
freshly stacked
We are establishing a Gourmet Burger Restaurant in a busy restaurant precinct on the Gold Coast, Australia. Although the emphasis will be on Burgers, we will also be taking the opportunity to open for Breakfast.
The concept of the restaurant centres around fresh, healthy & quality food served either in burger, as a salad, or as breakfast. We aren't a take away joint, so we want our customers to come and sit down, enjoy our food in a casaul but smart dining experience with a nice bottle of wine.
Our target audience will be 16-40, that want quality, healthy food that doesn't take forever to make. They don't want take away, they want to enjoy sitting down and having a coffee, a beer or a wine with their food and catching up with friends. Lazy Sunday brunches, casual Saturday afternoon beers, breakfast before work, lunch with work mates, early dinner before going out or late night snack after going out. This concept is new to the area, with many restaurants in the precinct serving a variety of cuisine.
The logo is to be the words "freshly stacked" within a graphic. We would like to be able to incorporate the words "gourmet burger" and "gourmet breakfast" underneath the main logo. We don't want anything tacky like a graphic of a burger or anything found within a burger (ie tomato).
We would like the logo to be bright & clear & fresh that tells the audience who we are and what we do.

Which of the choices describe a change I can make to the plch_emp_loop procedure that will not affect the external behavior of the procedure (what it displays or which rows it updates), but could improve its performance?
The quiz was intended to be about your ability to identify loop invariants, expressions within the body of the loop whose outcomes do not change with each execution of the loop. A standard optimization step is to replace the invariants with a variable (or better yet a constant!) that is not re-evaluated with each iteration of the loop.
Several players wrote with concerns about the way this question was worded and scored:
I will offer some responses here, but then open it up for discussion from players.
- I used the word "could" because I wanted players to focus on a logical analysis of the code (what in theory could improve performance? and not so much on analyzing the actual gains of specific changes, which as some noted could be very minimal indeed).
- Excellent point about the change to l_year resulting in an implicit conversion, when previously there was no conversion. I did not catch that and I believe it makes that choice ambiguous, not clearly a net performance gain when the loop invariant is extracted. I think I will probably need to issue a correction for that choice.
- The answer for choice 3 was incorrect and has been changed to remove the leading sentence. I added time constraint text to the question, but forgot to remove this from the answer.
- I do not see a contradiction between answers 3 and 4 (8122 and 8123 to use their IDs).The year does not change while the program executes, based on " it is only executed during the first month of each quarter (January, April, July and October) and never takes more than 4 hours to complete".

The Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre are returning after a one-year hiatus. For the first time since the Philadelphia awards were given in 1995, there were no awards for the 2012-2013 season.
The Barrymores, which are awarded in 21 categories to local theaters ranging in size from the tiniest companies to the giant Walnut Street, were originally managed by the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia. When that organization folded a year ago, the Barrymores were one of the casualties.
According to Mt. Airy resident and the Azuka Theatre's producing artistic director Kevin Glaccum, the local theater community, when surveyed about whether or not they wanted the awards to return, overwhelmingly supported the idea. Close to 90% of the 971 theater artists, administrators, educators and patrons surveyed thought the Barrymores should return. And return they will.
Glaccum, who chairs the newly formed Theatre Philadelphia's board of directors, says that beginning with the upcoming season, the Barrymore Awards will be awarded based on a new set of criteria that will correct some of the problems the awards faced during the last few years when the Theatre Alliance was in charge.
The reestablished awards require that eligible theaters be within a 30-mile radius of City Hall; that each theater be a 501(c)3 or fiscally sponsored organization; that each actor is paid a minimum of $150/week, designers a minimum of $500/show and directors a minimum of $750/show; and that each show have at least 12 performances.
The most important change in the awards program, Glaccum says, is the return to the two-tiered voting system. It'll work this way: Eight nominators will be sent to see each participating/eligible production. Five votes in any one category will take a show to the next round where all the judges (likely 10 to 12) will be required to see it. Judges will see 50 to 60 productions a season, down from the 90 to 100 under the old rules. Another change will be quarterly meetings of the judges to discuss the shows they've seen.
Along with the more stringent eligibility criteria, Glaccum says, "We wanted the adjudication process to be run by theater professionals: someone who makes theater or works in theater as an academic or a critic. What that will preclude is the well-meaning audience member, the person who just loves the theater."
Glaccum, 54, says that the Philadelphia Theater community "produces world-class theater. I am exceptionally proud to make my career among these artists. They deserve an awards ceremony.
"It reflects on the community here and nationally that the quality is high enough that we can support an awards [program]."
In order to pay for the administration of the awards, a participating theater will contribute $60 for each show being considered. It's likely that all of the local theater companies that meet the criteria will participate. "We have something like 65 professional theater companies in Philadelphia [that] produce a huge range of work, both in content and scale. That deserves to be recognized."
In addition to the 21 awards in production categories, Theatre Philadelphia will also continue to present four other awards: The Lifetime Achievement Award; the F. Otto Haas Award for an Emerging Theatre Artist, which carries with it a $10,000 cash prize for the winner and $1,000 for each of the four runners-up; The $25,000 Brown Martin Philadelphia Award which honors a production that demonstrates the ability of theater to illuminate the ways we live and interact with others as we seek to build community; and the new June and Steve Wolfson Award for an Evolving Theatre Company.
Even though there will be no production awards for 2012-2013, the Lifetime Achievement, Haas, Brown Martin and Wolfson Awards will be presented this fall just as the new full-fledged Barrymore program and the 2013-2014 theater season are getting underway.
Since theaters of various sizes and various budgets are competing for the same awards, Glaccum made it clear that for those evaluating the shows, "Imagination is more important than money."

There is an additional obliviousness about one of the chiasmic differences among BDSM communities – whether or not sex in properly even involved in BDSM. Yes, there are a lot of BDSM practitioners who really and truly fuck – and have sex in myriad other ways. However, there is a contingent which absolutely insists that sex is a frivolous distraction from the True Deep Relationship formed in pain, submission and other elements.I commented to him there with this:
I personally don't concur with this view. I mean, I AM one of those hyper-frivolous sluts that would take a pass on the whole deal if it didn't get me and my partners' orgasms, preferably many of them, on the road from interest through excitement to exhaustion. But the truth is that some people are quite the opposite, and that BDSM is wholly NOT about the sex – it's about the emotional connection. Somehow this is another aspect they prefer to be oblivious too. Maybe it's because its too close to the emotional connection they feel in keening against those outside the RadFem community.
I'm not entirely sure this would actually be convincing to them, though. I think they're concerned about the whole idea of valorizing power relations, and so I think they might respond that whether or not power play causes orgasm is not the point.
I don't think "She's my slave, but I don't fuck her" would get anything like a "Oh, well, that's different then" from these folks.
To further expound, I do think that one part of what worries them is "orgasm as a powerful reinforcer," which you see in a lot of anti-pornography feminism as well. On such a view, coming to something means associating that something with a flood of happy brain chemistry, and this is uniquely suited to making you want more of the something, sometimes against your own better judgment. (I think here of some comments in the anti-pornography documentary The Price of Pleasure, wherein a guy who uses porn describes how he has orgasms to porn, but feels dirty and ashamed and sullied after doing so.)
So if you have nonsexual D/s, you remove The Pavlovian Pitfall -- so Roy has a point; what about when that's gone? Doesn't that invite the possibility that it's not merely swoony infusions of serotonin that keep some people desiring to serve and valuing serving?
I think that's a good point, but I think we need to say more. The obvious question that comes next is "what does it mean to value serving?"
And the thing is, as I've said many times, I don't think kinky people should be required to justify our desires. But I do think "radical feminists" of this stripe will want to know what people get out of service. (And will probably dislike some answers to this question. Then again, so do I, and I'm an unrepentant pervert and dominant to boot.)
The thing is, though, that instead of this meaning "All you subbies have your assignment, dears: prove that what you get out of service is worthwhile and the meanie radfems might leave you alone. You just haven't examined enough!" I think this means something else.
I think the burden of proof is on the anti-BDSM folks. To them I say:
You already have our stories written down for you. You've had them since the publishing of Coming to Power, even all neatly wrapped up in feminist contexts. It's you who are not defending yourselves. All you can say when we say "Prove that our stories are meaningless in a feminist context" is some vague, lukewarm old politics you haven't heated enough on your stoves. It's cold and it's old and there might be some mold. Why are "trends, not anecdata" so popular with you, when you don't explain these "trends" with reference to anything like scientific studies?
The few times I have brought up data from studies -- usually the ones in Powerful Pleasures -- they haven't gotten any comments at all, not even very obvious criticisms of methodology! Hell, usually I'm the one saying "Here's the data, though of course this and this don't quite tell us what the researchers wanted, because of that..." What is up with that, exactly?
Really, if you want to be taken seriously as speaking in some Objective, Observing Voice, unlike the partisan people who are swayed by, uh, doing something because they like it, you need far better methods of data collection and collation.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy | RUG189 | Released: 16/10/04
Originally a (dark) highlight from the second Palace Brothers album, Days In the Wake, the Bonnie ''Prince'' has returned to 'No More Workhorse Blues', for this lush re-recording. Extracted from the recently outrageous Greatest Palace set, this time Bonnie is armed with friends (David Berman, Hargus Robbins, Andrew Bird, Mark Fain, Bruce Watkins, Mike Johnson, and Stuart Duncan) who will join him when he declares: "I am a rich man I am a very rich man I have good pants on stitched and stitched" And, also, when he declares: "I am no more a workhorse I am no more a workhorse I am no more a workhorse I am no more a workhorse I am a grazing horse I am a grazing horse I am your favourite horse!" With friends like these, who needs workhorses?? 'No More Workhorse Blues' is an enhanced single, backed by two brand new B-sides, 'Ruby/'The Color Of My Dreams' (with Tweaker) and 'The Kiss', as well as a truly disturbing and original 'Workhorse' video by Harmony Korine (Gummo, Julian Donkey Boy, David Blaine Sky One news coverage). Whipping the asses of all others around him by continuing to provide his fans with new music at every opportunity, Bonnie's 'No More Workhorse Blues' follows August's 'Agnes' single, and precedes an upcoming album with Matt (Chavez/Zwaan) Sweeney, Superwolf, due in January. For work ethic alone, never mind his ''good pants on'', he should really be your favourite workhorse!

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A grand jury investigation into corruption at the Broward County School Board led agents to an unlikely subject -- a school board member's sex life.
READ: Bob Norman's blog on Gottlieb
Former School Board Member Jennifer Gottlieb, who resigned last year, had extramarital affairs with two high-ranking Citigroup bankers who did business with the school board, including financing millions in public bonds used to build schools, according to investigative reports obtained by Local 10's Bob Norman.
"I think it's a very bad issue of conflict of interest there," said Pete Brewer, a grand jury witness. "She is evidently dating the guy and she's voting on his contracts, which is wrong."
Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigators wrote that "Gottlieb at no time reported her relationship with [the Citigroup bankers] to the board and continued to cast votes on matters concerning [Citigroup] that came before the board."
"It's clearly a violation of one's public office," said Robert Jarvis, an ethics professor at Nova Southeastern University. "It's official misconduct."
Both Citigroup bankers -- Rick Patterson, of Tampa, and Michael Baldwin, of Orlando, -- admitted to the extramarital affairs in sworn interviews. One broke down and cried during an interview, saying he and Gottlieb were in love like "high school kids" and had been romantically linked for three years.
"You shake your head and you go, 'What were they thinking? In what universe could they have thought this was appropriate behavior?'" said Jarvis.
Reports indicate Gottlieb, who is married to a Broward County Judge, actively concealed the relationships from the public by using personal email accounts and prepaid phones.
"At the moment you talk about intentional action to conceal and defraud the public, really, it's not an ethical matter anymore. It's a criminal matter," said Jarvis.
But the FDLE and grand jury didn't indict because there is no specific law forbidding voting on public matters involving intimate friends
"There ought to be a law," said Brewer.
Gottlieb hadn't returned a phone call to Local 10 for comment. Her husband filed for divorce in June.

Happy Halloween everybody! What are you up to tonight? Anyone celebrating here?
I'm staying at home. I had my fair share of Halloween fun this weekend. This Friday I'll be going to the show of the famous Glam Rockers (read mockers) Steel Panther, so I'll have another chance to dress up.
In some trashier costume version.
As I told you, we took a walk at the cemetery in the evening. I'm so happy with how the pictures turned out to be. I could do stuff like this every week. Dressing up, yes!
I was something between a vampire or a zombie Lana Del Rey. Whom, I found out today, will be playing in Belgium next year. Hoping I'll be able to go!
Here they're! Must be one of my favorite pictures on the blog so far!
Wearing: H&M dress, shoes and earrings, DIY cape and flower crown, Mongolian fur stola.

03.27.13: The Lady Knights had a 25-7 record and won their 10th consecutive Region XXI title and also the District O Championship which earned them a berth to the NJCAA Division II women's Basketball National Championship Tournament at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, IL. At the Nationals the Lady Knights defeated Owens Community College 76-68 in a thrilling overtime victory to advance to the "Elite Eight." That's is as far as the Lady Knights would go as they Fell to National Champion Louisburg College and Highland College but it was still a magical season. Recently they also found out that three Lady Knights earned All-Region XXI honors: sophomore Co-Captain Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, NY), freshman Lexi Barros (New Bedford, MA) and freshman Ahnyyah Jackson (Hackensack, NJ).
Smith is a two-year captain of the Lady Knights and two-time All-Region XXI (New England) selection. Recently, was named WBCA All-American as she helped lead her team to the "Elite Eight" this year at NJCAA National Tourney. Smith led nation is steals with 126 averaging 4.3 assists per game. In addition, she is the CCRI all-time leader in: Scoring with 1,058 points surpassing Amanda Ward who scored 956 career points; Assists with 315 surpassing Nicole Girard who had 274; Steals with 259 passing Denise Scott who had 162; and made free-throws with 186 surpassing Jerilynn Johnson who had 183. Smith was also honored as the Kevin McNamara Award as DIII/CC Women's Player of the Year by Cox Communications.
As a freshman Smith was the top scorer with 502 total points averaging 16.2 points per game where she is ranked No. 41 nationally, rebounds with 217 averaging seven rebounds per game, Smith set the single season record for assists with 183 total and 5.9 per game, blowing away the former record of 156 by Nicole Girard in 2008-09, she is also ranked No. 14 nationally in assists nationally. Smith recorded an impressive 11 double-doubles and one triple-double in her 31 games played. In addition, she tied the single-game assist record when she recorded 14 versus Orange County CC on January 21st, a record she shares with Jessica Aldrich in 1994 and Jen Rado in the 2001-02 season. Lastly, she crushed the CCRI steals record out of the water with 110 steals so far averaging 4.2 per game ranking her No. 8 in the Nation while crushing the former record of 93 held by Lauren Harrington in the 2008-09 season. Making Smith's numbers even more impressive was that she played on a very young team with only one sophomore and she moved from playing shooting guard to point guard mid-season and did not miss a beat.
Barros burst upon the season as a freshman she was second on the lady Knights I scoring behind Smith averaging 16.1 points per game with which ranked her No. 44 by the NJCAA. Barros also was ranked 12th I the nation in steals with 96 and was ranked No. 6 in 3-point field goal percentage making 43.3% of her 3-pointers. Lexi scored in double-figures in 22 of the games she played in and 20 or more points in 12 games. Barros' career-high came in the NJCAA National Tournament where she poured in a game-high 28 points, including 4-6 from the 3-point arch to lead the Lady Knights in a dramatic 76-68 overtime victory over Owens Community College. Barros will be a key piece to the Lady Knights success as she returns for her sophomore campaign.
Jackson was another freshman who made a big impact averaging 12 points per game. Jackson along with Barros was a key piece to the perimeter attack for the Lady Knights while also being able to penetrate the opposing defenses and get free throw opportunities where she led the Lady Knights shooting 80% from the free throw line which ranked her No. 15 by the NJCAA. Jackson scored in double-figures in 20 games she played in this year and 20 or more points in three games, including a career-high 23 points versus UConn-Avery Point. Jackson will be another key piece tot eh Lady Knights' backcourt in the 2013-14 season when she returns with Barros.

PioneerLibrarySystem needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 342 designs submitted by 87 freelance designers.
Pioneer Library System Foundation
The Pioneer Library System Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit entity, recently incorporated to support the long-term funding needs of the Pioneer Library System (PLS).
Since 1958, PLS has served residents from nine libraries in three Central Oklahoma counties. The library's services are free to all. The mission of the PLS is: "Connecting you to the joy of reading and to learning for lifelong education."
The library web address is http://www.pioneer.lib.ok.us/ - the foundation website is not yet developed and the look of it will pull from the foundation logo.
Library customers range in age from babies to seniors. Customers are from urban, suburban, and rural areas across the three counties.
Most donors to the Pioneer Library System Foundation are between the ages of 45-85 years and tend to be users of the library system.
Through branding, the Foundation seeks to convey long-term stability and growth for PLS.
Pioneer Library System Foundation is the legal name. If possible, we'd like a logo that includes the name but provides an option to drop the name off the design at a later date.
The logo for PLS is attached. Contest judges would like to see connectivity between the PLS logo and the one created for the Foundation. Consider incorporating one or more elements in the design of the Foundation logo – color, form or font. The font is Niagra Solid and Myriad Pro, and the colors are PMS 186, 151, and 269.
Because four-color printing is expensive, limiting the number of colors is preferred. We'd like ORIGINAL color art that also translates well into black and white. No stock art elements, please.
The logo will be used in electronic presentations, printing and website.
Final submission are requested as a vector file.

Law & Human Rights in Togo by Georgie Rea
My Arrival in Africa
I had been on a plane on my own before, but only ever as far as to Ireland. Having just turned 17 and never having travelled outside of Europe I was slightly apprehensive about my journey to Togo when I boarded the plane at Heathrow on the 15th of August this year. All nerves were eradicated when I was greeted by an exuberant member of the Ghanaian Projects Abroad team in Accra.
Three other girls and I were taken to a youth hostel where we would spend the night before going to our separate projects in the morning. We talked through the night, sharing the excitement of the days ahead and advising one another of where to travel at the weekends. In the morning, I left the girls who were all volunteering in Ghana and was escorted to the border with Togo.
The border was bizarre; the noise was deafening, and it was hard to tell who was speaking French and who was speaking English. However, I made it across with the help of Sam, the son of the Director of Projects Abroad in Togo. After breaking for lunch, Sam and his wife took me for lunch, where we watched one of the Togolese athletes competing in the Olympic canoeing on the television.
Lomé and my host family
Lomé was very different to Accra, the roads were narrower, the buildings less modern and the streets were far less crowded. My levels of French did not stretch far beyond A level standard and the Togolese accent was remarkably strong, resulting in me having to take several moments to understand anything anyone said to me before even attempting to respond.
I took French lessons during my trip which helped me drastically to improve my linguistic skills. My teacher who was appointed by Projects Abroad, Rodrigue, was one of the best friends I made during my trip. He was an excellent teacher, patient and comprehensive, and stretched me by discussing subjects such as politics and human rights, giving me vocabulary to help me at my work placement.
My host family were more than welcoming and instantly put me at ease once I arrived in their home. The children in the home quickly became my brothers and sisters. We ate meals together and they made sure that I was exposed to vast range of Togolese cuisine, including the favourite dish amongst volunteers, fufu, which is dough made from yam.
The family took me to church with them, religion being big part of their daily lives. I was welcomed by the church community and fascinated to see the similarities and differences between the western and Togolese Catholic Church services. I fell ill towards the end of my trip but my family and Katrin from Projects Abroad took good care of me.
During my trip I had been amazed by the Togolese dress, made from material, called pagne, bought at the markets fashioned into outfits at the couturiers. My host mother presented me with the gift of a skirt made of such material as a parting gift when I left which I was proud to travel home in.
My Law & Human Rights Project
I worked with an organisation called the Collectif des Associations Contre l'Impunité au Togo as my human rights placement. It is a NGO which acts as an umbrella organisation for human rights groups across Togo.
I felt fully engaged with the work, despite being a lot younger than the other volunteers, and was assigned tasks involving translation as well as being given the opportunity to have days away from the office and see the work of the organisations task groups brought to life in Atakpamé. The experience gave me valuable knowledge about human rights in Togo, as well as Africa as a whole which has helped me vastly with my application to study law at university.
Travelling and 'Les Motos'
I am excited to return to Togo as due to the length of my trip I did not get to travel nearly as much as I had wanted! I did take a trip to Togoville, the oldest town in Togo, which gives its name to Togo the country; in the ancient language, Togo means the 'place where sea and land meet' and Togoville marks that place. It was a true adventure and I even met the Prince of Togoville! On the same day we visited La Maison de L'esclavage, a house where slaves were kept in the 18th century before they were taken Europe or America on ships. Although the visit was upsetting the history was interesting and the house had been well preserved.
It is difficult to describe the sheer vibrancy of Lomé, the lively buzz of the city, the enthusiastic and welcoming nature of Togo's inhabitants. But moments which best capture the experience occur on the back of motos; Togo's preferred method of transport. Each day I boarded a motor bike taxi and ventured to my work placement. Speeding through the city, taking in all the sounds and sights overwhelmed me and I was lost in the blur that was Togo.

When Is an Airpass Worth It?
Even in a down year for travel, a growing number of passengers are buying pricey multi-stop, multi-country tickets known as airpasses. But not all are created equal: We dissected four prominent options to see which rise to the top.
JETBLUE: ALL YOU CAN JET PASS (Editor's Pick)
U.S. and Caribbean
JetBlue built its reputation around good value, and its clear-cut, 30-day unlimited pass is no exception. Buyers can go anywhere JetBlue flies: more than 60 airports, from San Diego to Boston and the Caribbean. Restrictions are minimal; you can book and change reservations as little as three days in advance. It usually takes three domestic flights to make up the $700 investment, but one round trip can offset the cost (we found a flight from Portland, Ore., to Barbados for $718). The 2009 and 2010 airpasses sold out quickly, so we're betting that JetBlue will offer the pass again in 2011. And when it does, we'll be buying. jetblue.com, $699; $499 for passes that exclude Friday and Sunday travel. Bottom line: The best all-around pass for aspiring vagabonds.
South America
This pass from Latin America powerhouse LAN has more in common with buy-in-bulk discount stores than all-you-can-eat buffets. Travelers can use a dedicated booking site to build a 16-flight itinerary connecting three or more of the over 50 available cities in one year. After you buy an international flight, the cost is based on the number of cities you visit, with most flights from $100 to $300 each. A sample four-city airpass out of New York that included Buenos Aires, Lima, Cuzco, and the Galápagos Islands came in at $2,540—about $1,200 less than the same itinerary priced through Kayak. The value isn't only in ticket prices: LAN has no checked-bag fees, and you can change any airpass flight for just $30. lan.com, prices vary. Bottom line: A good value for visiting far-flung spots.
Although Asia has no shortage of budget airlines, Cathay Pacific trumps them all in the customer-service department—no small concern when flying halfway across the world. One of the first large-scale passes to launch, Cathay Pacific's 21-day All Asia option starts at $1,599, and fliers can choose from 42 destinations. The potential savings are massive. When compared with booking on Orbitz, the All Asia Pass base rate for an L.A.–Hong Kong–Bali–Tokyo–L.A. trip was $2,400 cheaper. One drawback: There are numerous restrictions, from traveling in the summer (a $500 upgrade) to which days of the week you can fly. cathaypacific.com, from $1,599 in 2010 for Hong Kong and two cities. Bottom line: A great deal for comfort junkies and the obsessively organized.
With more than 750 destinations to choose from on carriers such as American, Iberia, and Qantas, Oneworld's comprehensive reach is impressive. Travel to three continents from $3,499; four from $5,099; and so on, with a 16-flight limit over a year's time. The idea of stopping in spots like Budapest, Athens, Amman, and Auckland for about five grand on one itinerary seems like an incredible deal, but you can find similar trips on a site like Expedia for less; our independently booked 12-city sample cost 24 percent less than Oneworld's pass. The offer also comes with some undesirable restrictions, including a limit of four stops per continent, with no backtracking. oneworld.com, from $3,499. Bottom line: Worth it only for those who want a huge range of destinations.
Any one of these five red flags could be a dream-trip deal breaker.
Limited Flight Segments
Sixteen flight segments sounds like a lot, but if it takes two connections to get to one destination, your travel options decrease fast.
Overland Travel
Detouring through a scenic area in a rental car is often more fun than cruising over it at 30,000 feet, but many airpasses will penalize you for doing just that.
Eligibility Requirements
Some airlines require you to purchase a separate round-trip intercontinental flight in order to qualify for an airpass. Make sure your flight qualifies.
Taxes & Fees
These can add a staggering $700 or more to your ticket price, particularly in Asia and Europe. Don't buy anything without doing the math first.
Single-Direction Travel
Think twice about airpasses that require you to travel east to west or vice versa, hampering your perfect route.

As we indicated in Part 1 of this series, pseudogenes are remnants of once-functional genes. Since they are segments of a DNA molecule, they are faithfully copied and passed along generation after generation through the millennia of time. For this reason, they serve as excellent markers. They allow us to trace ancestry.
Consider, for example, the lineage shown in the diagram at right. In this example, Species A and B diverged from a single ancestor (red) fairly recently. Since there has been little time for them to evolve, the species are similar to each other.
Species A, B, C are also derived from a common ancestor (blue). That ancestor lived much longer ago, so the three species have had more time to diverge. Thus they may look quite different from each other. Finally, a very long time ago, there lived an even more ancient ancestor (yellow). This one gave rise to all four of these species. Having had lots of time to evolve, this ancestor's descendents have become increasingly different from one another.
With regard to pseudogenes, the theory of common descent makes a prediction. Let's say that in sequencing a genome, one finds a specific pseudogene (we'll call it 'y') in Species A, but it is not found in Species B (see below).
If the theory of common descent is true:
- The event which gave rise to pseudogene 'y' occurred recently. It could not have been present in the common ancestor highlighted in red in the diagram to the left; otherwise both Species A and B would have had it.
- Since the Species A/Species B common ancestor didn't have the pseudogene, earlier ancestors could not have had it either.
- Species C and D, because they are derived from those earlier ancestors, would not have pseudogene 'y' either.
With the sequencing of many genomes, it is now a straightforward matter to test this hypothesis. This can be done not by examining one or two genes, but by examining hundreds, even thousands. Do all pseudogenes fit into this sort of pattern? We will examine this question by considering one particular subset.
Our sense of smell is made possible through a set of proteins, the olfactory receptors, found on the surface of cells lining the nasal cavity. Airborne compounds bind to these receptors, thereby sending signals to the brain, which then interprets the pattern of binding as a particular odor.
Recently it has become apparent that many mammals have lost some of their olfactory receptor proteins through mutation of the genes which produce them: the mutated genes have been converted into non-functional pseudogenes. It is possible to compare the distribution of numerous olfactory receptor pseudogenes in several primate species.
Let's first consider 15 pseudogenes1 present in humans but not in chimpanzees. According to the theory of common descent, these 15 pseudogenes have arisen since humans and chimps last had a common ancestor about six million years ago. If this is so, we would predict that none of the 15 pseudogenes will be present in primates believed to have diverged even earlier. As illustrated at right, this is exactly what we find when examining gorilla and orangutan genomes.
What about other olfactory pseudogenes? Do they follow the same sort of pattern? Are they in the "correct" places? Indeed they are – every one:
Six pseudogenes with identical inactivating mutations are found in all four species. Humans and chimpanzees share twelve identical pseudogenes (6 plus 3 plus 3) in common, but humans and gorillas share only nine (6 plus 3). These nine, as predicted, are a subset of the twelve shared by humans and chimpanzees.
Using pseudogene evidence alone, in the absence of any other line of evidence (gene homology, shared synteny, anatomy, etc), it would assemble these species into the same pattern of relatedness as any of the others. Indeed for the 47 pseudogenes studied, not one is out of place. We can tell when in the ancestry each arose relative to the others, and no cases exist where the same pseudogene appears in a manner inconsistent with the proposed lineage. Also recall that this is only 47 pseudogenes within a single family of genes: many, many more have been analyzed and they give parallel results.
As compelling as this pattern is, pseudogene data can also be extended to much more distantly-related species. All mammals, for instance, are predicted to be the evolutionary descendents of egg-laying ancestors. Indeed, the fossil record contains species classified as "mammal-like reptiles" as well as "reptile-like mammals" that blur the distinction between these groups. The evolutionary prediction that mammals are descended from egg-laying ancestors was tested recently using the hypothesis of shared synteny to look for the inactivated remains of a gene devoted to egg-yolk production in the human genome. This gene, called the vitellogenin gene, is used as a component of egg yolk in a wide array of egg-laying species. This research group wondered if it would be possible to find the remains of the vitellogenin gene in the human genome. To help in their search, they employed the prediction of shared synteny.
You may recall from our previous post on synteny that over time, blocks of genes in diverging species are increasingly "broken up" into smaller and smaller blocks. Very closely linked genes, however, can stay together for a very, very long time. Using this knowledge, the researchers:
- Located the (functional) vitellogenin gene in the chicken genome,
- Took note of the gene "next door" to the vitellogenin gene in the chicken,
- Looked to see if this neighboring gene was present in the human genome (it was – a functional version of this gene is found in humans),
- Looked in the same relative spot next door to this gene in the human genome, and
- Discovered the mutated remains of the vitellogenin gene in the human genome in precisely this location.
While it might be possible to present a (strained) argument for the presence of olfactory receptor pseudogenes in humans, the mere presence of the mutated remains of a gene required for making egg yolk in the human genome should give even the most ardent anti-evolutionist pause. That this gene was found using the prediction of shared synteny between humans and chicken only adds to the impact.
Common ancestry is an elegant, parsimonious explanation for the pattern of pseudogenes that we observe, yet many Christians reject common ancestry for theological reasons. The challenges for a non-evolutionary explanation of this data, however, are many:
- Why do humans (or any species for that matter) have so many inactivated genes?
- Why does the distribution of these inactivated genes match precisely the pattern of relatedness (phylogenies) predicted by other, independent criteria? Why are there no "out-of-place" pseudogenes?
- Why are pseudogenes found in the precise locations predicted by shared synteny?
- Why are some of these inactivated genes dedicated to functions that make no sense for the species that harbors them (e.g. defective genes for egg-yolk production in placental mammals like humans)?
To be blunt, if this pattern is not to be accepted, why did God put it in place for us to discover? And if this pattern is not to be trusted, how can anything in genetics be certain? As a colleague once commented, this pattern "would deceive all honest investigators" if in fact it is not accurate.
Many believers are troubled by the idea of humans sharing ancestry with other forms of life (and its attendant theological issues). Consider the opposite, however: suppose that common ancestry is in fact incorrect. The trouble is this: the data doesn't go away. In this case, one still has to explain why the data looks the way it does: why did God choose to create independent species with this pattern? Even among anti-evolutionists there is no satisfying answer to this question. Time and again, what we see from Christian anti-evolutionary organizations is not an attempt to wrestle with the data, but rather to obfuscate it.
These lines of evidence are becoming more and more widely known among believers and non-believers. If Christians continue to insist on denying the implications of this (very solid) science, we greatly risk setting a stumbling block before our brothers and sisters in Christ, or bringing the faith into disrepute with those whom we seek to reach with the Good News.

Like his father and grandfather before him, butcher Lou DeRosa lifts thick slabs of bacon from the glass case at Marconda's Meats and wraps them for a waiting customer.
Tucked away at L.A.'s landmark Farmer's Market, the little butcher stand is selling more bacon than ever — and at prices that tip the scale toward "crazy," DeRosa said. The Danish bacon rings up at $8.98 a pound for America's trendiest meat.
"Prices go up every six months, much more than your typical meat item, because everyone is buying it," said DeRosa, whose family has run the shop since 1941.
The country's love affair with bacon is coming at an increasing cost. The price of the...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After defending his 200-meter dash title at the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships and garnering three other all-conference awards, Lipscomb junior Tucker Peabody has been named the A-Sun Most Outstanding Track Athlete of the year.
The sprinter from Memphis, Tenn., scored 22 individual points at the A-Sun Championships to help bolster his case as the top-performer, which is voted on by the league coaches.
"He had an impressive A-Sun Championships," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "He ran the fastest time ever while defending his 200-meter title, running the second fastest time in the 100-meter dash, ran a 46.3 split in the 4X400 relay and got another medal in the 4X100 relay. The 4X4 was a humongous breakthrough for him."
Peabody claimed the 200-meter dash title in an A-Sun record 20.68 seconds. He took second place in the 100-meter dash in 10.36 seconds, which is the second-fastest time in A-Sun history. To cap the championships off, Peabody came from behind to claim the 4X400-meter relay victory, making a pass in the final 50-meters for the win.
"The way he won the event puts a huge exclamation point on his performances there," Taylor said. "It is what your superstar is supposed to do. He is supposed to take whatever is handed him and make the best of it. He was impressive and the coaches agreed with it.
Sprints coach Marcus Evans agreed with Taylor that the team came first and it showed in the relay.
"He had a great team effort that he put forth at the championships," Evans said. "It is evident with the other coaches that he worked hard and had a great meet. We were looking for him to help the team as much as he could and that is exactly what he did. It was a great way to cap off the meet with the come-from-behind win in the relay over North Florida at its home track."
For the A-Sun competition season, Peabody collected four Track Athlete of the Week honors including three in a row from April 10 to April 24. It was the most captured this season by an individual athlete.
Peabody has qualified for two events at the NCAA National Preliminary round beginning Thursday. He will run the 100 and 200 meter dashes in Greensboro, N.C.

Here's a round of sketches.
PAulo <3
Did you use pencils with this?
Quite nice, the shading is very smooth. The heads on the pets look a tad big but the hair and folds in the scarf on that first pic of Mike are really nice.
Very good I like Yashy the most
hahahaha how mad does paulo look he got roughed up
Very nice sketches, I wish I could draw half as well as you.
/generic but honest compliment
ohh david, always the creeper ;P
Abbey's long nose is looooooooong. xD
Really nice pencils, really! Sandy looks really nice with her hair loose. Sue's hair looks a tad strange... like it's detached from the head or so. Mad paulo and all all three mike and lucy pictures looks so adorable.
I take my last comment back Yashy is second DAVID IS FIRST
Sue is too manly.
Where are the feminine curves
THESE are sketches?
Looks more like a finished product.
Very good. Keep going. ^^
Yashi is ridiculously adorable in this sketch, doesn't look incredibly annoying at all, like she is ;p
This looks amazing!
I guess that's all I can say. - Dave

It seems summer went by in a blink, and it's now that time of year again when leaves color, breezes cool, andlike some bizarre autumn flowercampaign signs bloom in yards everywhere. Even in "off" years, November brings local elections to many of our hometowns, and mine is one of them.
Some very astute, albeit cynical, individual once said that if voting really mattered, it would be illegal. Voting, of course, still does matter at least on relatively local level. The real problem is that those who are tired of politics as usual are doomed to more of it if they keep electing the usual politicians. Those who are tired of high taxes are only picking their own pockets when they vote for special interest candidates or issues.
The place where I live is probably more like than unlike the place you live yourself, and what voters should consider here are exactly the kinds of things they'd be better off to consider in your town, too.
In my city, there are three spots open on the seven-member city commission this year. Nine people are running to take those three seats. While it's a positive sign that so many are interested in serving, it's far less so to hear each of the candidates' campaign promises. Two of those who are running are former commissioners who left the board because of term limits. The problems they claim they'd like the chance to solve are problems they bear some responsibility for helping create in the first place. Two others are special interest candidates with an identical focus, one that, whether needed or not, would leave the rest of the pertinent issues facing the city coming in a distant second and which would alienate at least as many as those who would be pleased.
Without exception, all nine candidates are claiming that they can do a better job than each of the others. While each makes promises of his or her own, those promises often contradict the promises being made by others. If each candidate really knew what was best for the city, wouldn't most of them at least agree? That they don't should tell voters something. Meanwhile, those commissioners already in office bicker amongst themselves and criticize top-ranking city employees while they're at it. Some of the bickering is warranted; so is some of the criticism. Yet neither the candidates nor the commissioners are suggesting, by word or by deed, that anything will change in the near term.
Want to make a real change in local government? Vote for the write-in candidate "none of the above." Or find the candidate with no government experience but a legitimate desire to do his best and, even if you don't agree with all that he claims he wants to do, at least you'll have elected one honest man (or woman) who still has a few years of worthwhile effort in him before he, too, becomes corrupted by compromise.
Better still, get involved yourself. Go to meetings. They're public for a reason. If criticism is warranted, then add what you can, and agree with what you will. If change is needed, then see to it that it happens. Educate others so that they, too, understand what's right and what's wrong with your local government and its officials. Don't rely on campaign promises for the simple reason that the vast majority of campaign promises can't be relied on. We all already know that. Now it's time to stop believing and start doing.
One local arts venue has a tax levy on the ballot this year. It seems that, despite spending many hundreds of thousands of dollars on building refurbishment and add-ons, the entity is now in desperate need of money. No matter what service it offers to the community, should voters really throw more money at an organization that's already shown it doesn't manage its budget well? If there aren't enough patrons to support the venueeither through donations or ticket salesshould all of those who obviously don't care about it be forced to pay for it via an involuntary tax? If it's exhausted its government grant possibilities or been turned down for more funding, should voters really take a risk that the government itself, with its bottomless pockets, finds a poor one?
Such entities that have the capability of self-support should be left alone to do so. And if they can't do it, whether through financial mismanagement or a general lack of interest in whatever service it is they offer, they should close their doors just like any unworthy business enterprise will do. After all, if I make poor financial decisions and become destitute, would you find it acceptable that a friend of mine steals from you to give me more money I can spend inappropriately? Of course not! So why should voters be so sanguine about doing the same for a non-profit group?
As is almost de rigueur for elections nowadays, the local school system also has a tax levy on the ballot. The schools want to build new buildings and get rid of a couple of old ones. Does it need the new buildings? At least one prominent local group opposing the levy says it does notand its contentions are borne out by some convincing statistics.
Are students being harmed via overcrowded classrooms (overcrowded by government definition, not by yours and mine)? There's a study says that students learn at least as well in groups of 30 or more as they do in smaller class sizes (the same study shows a far greater effect on students is directly attributable to how good the teacher is; but to be fair, others show that reduction in class size can be helpful). Regardless, large class sizes are more than manageable by competent teachers who are allowed to do their jobs without incessant politically correct interference.
Do students need air-conditioned classrooms during those few weeks of fall and spring where such might prove necessary? Sure, it would be nice, but I can assure you I went to school in a few very old buildings and never attended an air conditioned classroom in my life; we all did just fine.
Perhaps if the schools were doing a better job, the reward of new facilities might be a consideration. But here, as in far too many places across the country, public education is struggling to meet even the most minimum of requirements. Students are dropping out in appalling numbers; those who do graduate are functionally illiterate at alarming rates. Teachers demand more money and, while the good ones are priceless, tenure and desperation ensures that the bad ones have jobs and salaries they shouldn't. Administrators are thoroughly co-opted by the NEA and local politicians so that, rather than managing education systems, they're stuck managing a fine line between policies that are more geared to offending no one than they are to educating everyone.
The bottom line is that student success has less to do with buildings and class size than with responsibility and discipline. But no amount of taxpayer dollars will make parents take up their duties again, nor will it permit teachers to do their jobs by administering discipline as needed. So why give more money to address some symptom or another rather than addressing something that might really fix the problem? Because, no doubt, it's easier. Besides, said one of my friends to me just the other day while admonishing me to vote in favor of the levy: "It's for the children!" Of course, it should also be noted that she sends her only child to a private school...
Schools are finally beginning to be sent a message if not grasping quite yet the meaning of it: Levies, which have historically passed handily whenever schools were involved, are now starting to fail almost as often as not. That's a good thing. Just as failing a class used to teach kids something, so should failing levies have meaning to school systems. Our job as voters is to be sure we send them that message until such time as we're satisfied it's getting through.
Some people like to vote for the usual politicians because, after all, they've at least got some experience on their résumés. Some are shamed into voting for certain special interests because they're "for the children" or some other worthy cause. But the most important thing for all of us to remember is this: Voters have a voice when ballots are counted. They have an even louder voice when they speak up.
Government these days is into far too many things. Schools were better before they were government operated. Free enterprise has historically provided everything from power to water to maintenance more efficiently and more cost effectively than have government entities. But until we can fix that larger problem, the least we can do is try to hold our own. So go ahead and vote. Tell your friends to vote, too. And when you do, remember that this isn't about what you can get from government, or what you can give to it, or force others to give by proxy. It's about getting government to do its job, but even more importantly, to do no more than that.

Oh I was going to wish you a Happy St. Patrick's day but that is tomorrow isn't it? The 17th? Wait! Tomorrow is the 15th, isn't it?
I have to admit I have completely lost track of time as Chris was out of town this week. So that meant I was home... alone. Okay, not alone as I had two lovely teenage boys to keep me company as well as a list of projects that needed completed.
And do you know what I did? I grabbed out a few cans of Annie Sloan chalk paint, latex paint, and Miss Mustard Seed milk paint. I was feeling like a rebel... I mixed, I poured, remixed until I came up with the perfect colors.
I know, I showed it to you my lovely Aegean Dreams desk here many, many moons ago. But she had gone through a number of "makeovers" but none of them ever felt quite right. You see, her lines are those of a more refined age, not the perky young teenager she was trying to come across as. Her dress was a bit too brash, too bold, so she had a bit of wardrobe change if you will.
When I started she looked like this....
I know... a HOT mess! The handles never did age, her lovely legs and underpinnings clashed, and her lovely top was just too white. And then someone had decided along the way that adding a layer of black would be just the ticket to add a bit of age. Yes, hanging head in shame, I did it. As you probably can tell I didn't like it one bit so I stopped with the one drawer and just left it. Thankfully the drawer was hidden behind a chair and no one saw my error but I knew and it bugged me to no end!
I started by taking off all of the hardware and removing the silver paint exposing the original brass. Over time with use and exposure they will age quite nicely. Then I pulled out my Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (ASCP) in Provence, a similar shade but just a tad darker and gave her a once over (or may a twice over.) The top is a lovely shade of Paris Gray with a layer of the CeCe Caldwell's dark aging wax. Yes, I know, I know. I am breaking all the cardinal rules... but I can't use the Annie Sloan finishing waxes in the house as they trigger my asthma. I can honestly say that CeCe Caldwell's waxes are currently the ONLY waxes I can use with NO ill effects.
I could NOT resist adding a pop of color to these drawers. Yes this is where my experimenting came into play. I started with a mix of ASCP Emperor's Silk and Harley Davidson orange latex paint at a ratio of 1:1 with a pinch or two of Miss Mustard Seed Milk paint in Linen. The result the perfect shade of red to liven things up a bit.
Do you see the inside of the drawers?
Sparkly wrapping paper! Okay to be honest this desk has 7 drawers... and currently has 3 different types of paper. A map of Alaska graces the large central drawer, the left stack the lovely sparkly wrapping paper, and the right stack has this lovely paper, Bijou Birds Green from the Bloom & Grow collection of My Mind's Eye sold at Hobby Lobby. I discovered that this paper is not readily available any longer so I think I be going in to pick up a few more pieces. Yes it speaks to that quirky, inner hippie in me... but that is quite alright!
And here she sits with the morning light bathing her.
I know I need to replace the chair but that is a project for another day.

aral I disagree, "continue" is confusing compared to start. Start = start from a number, continue = what? Continue from a number? So the list should start from that number plus one? Or continue from another ol (perhaps by using an id reference)?

Pushed some styling improvements to individual note pages as a result of some brainstorming earlier today. Splitting the content into Primary, Contextual, Metadata and Network will give me a solid foundation on which to add more information (e.g. mentions).
One thing I haven't added is an "actions" section, mainly because of double-click-to-edit. That only applies to the main content, though, and I have some other actions like syndicate to facebook, so I should make a section for those.#taproot #design #todo #web

For undergraduate courses in Community Health Nursing. The community/public health nurse is charged with promoting the health of populations, not only the individuals within populations. This requires advocacy on the part of the nurse, for entire communities as well as for the individuals within. The fifth edition of Community Health Nursing by respected leader and educator Mary Jo Clark approaches community health nursing from an aggregate perspective, clearly showing how nurses can serve to improve the health of populations within a community by functioning as advocates on many levels. To illustrate how that can be manifested, real-life vignettes begin every chapter, showing students what advocacy looks like in the public health context. In each chapter, critical thinking exercises are woven throughout in boxed features.Mary Jo Clark Ph.D. RN is the author of 'Community Health Nursing: Advocacy for Population Health (5th Edition)', published 2007 under ISBN 9780131709829 and ISBN 0131709828.[read more]

Bridging Greenway gap
After work on Newton's Heritage Trail Greenway stalled in May, city leaders recently bridged a $107,200 funding gap for the five-year project. Then on Thursday, city and state crews installed a different sort of bridge that puts the city one step closer to finishing the trail.
"We lack about 600 feet in the center of the Phase II," Newton City Manager Todd Clark explained about what remains unfinished after Thursday's bridge installation.
That portion of the trail is in a low-lying area that was impacted by rainfall throughout the summer. Due to moisture in that part of the trail, city staff have had a difficult time preparing the trail, applying gravel and keeping it there, Clark said.
"Some of those areas are still wet after three weeks with no rain," Clark said. "Once we can get the aggregate down, then we will be ready to pave."
Required as part of a $100,000 N.C. Department of Transportation grant, paving the second phase will be dependent on weather, Clark said, adding that "city staff knows how important it is to get this finished."
When the project is finished, it will be at least $95,000 over the original budget — including about $46,000 in city labor expenses. It is also more than three years behind the city's original project timeline submitted to NCDOT.
Again, Clark attributed some of that delay and added expense to repair efforts on trail portions affected by rainfall and moisture.
"I know we had a lot of storm activity that created erosion issues that we had to go back and fix, once we had already done the initial trail," he said. "A lot of repair work was involved."
The two-part project originally carried a price tag of $143,000 for both phases of the trail when it began in July 2005. Phase II of the project benefitted from a $100,000 NCDOT Enhancement Grant, which was matched by $25,000 in city funds.
Phase I of the trail has been complete about two years, according to Newton Planning Director Glenn Pattishall, and that portion of the Greenway extends between West Seventh Street and Radio Station Road near Carrillon Assisted Living. When both phases are complete, the trail will extend from West Seventh Street on N.C. 10.
According to Pattishall, Phase I cost $40,370 to complete, and it was about $22,370 over budget. Added expense came from equipment rentals, signage, repairs following washouts and ATV damage, among other materials.
Still, construction on Phase II forged ahead with an anticipated cost of $125,000. However, as of May, the expense tied to Phase II — a 3,300 foot part of the trail — had already reached $90,793, including $38,600 associated with engineering and construction for a bridge to cross a small creek near the Radio Station Road end of the Phase II trail. At the time, Pattishall said another $61,000 was needed for remaining engineering and materials costs.
After lengthy debate during May's Council meeting, city officials tabled a request for additional funding. The request came as City Council was planning a city budget for the year, and elected officials balked at funding the Greenway while they faced cutting other services.
Meanwhile, if the city decided to forego completion of the project, it would also be liable for returning NCDOT grant funds totaling $63,910, Clark said.
When City Council revisited the issue again during an Aug. 3 meeting, a move to appropriate $107,200 needed to finish the project passed with only one dissenting vote and very little debate. That total includes $61,945 that will be drawn from the city's general fund balance for materials and remaining engineering and surveying expenses. The total also includes $46,255 in labor expenses for city crews working on the Greenway's two phases. Already, contributed city labor is valued at $26,255 and an additional $20,000 in city labor will be required to complete the work.
City financial officials said representing city labor in the total project cost as a capital contribution and adds to the value of the city asset.
"We had a budget session, and we are all cognizant of money. And there were days (in the budget workshops) when we were looking for $500 or $1,000," Newton Mayor Robert Mullinax said, adding he was not in favor of postponing the Greenway during City Council's May meeting. "I don't take a stand very often, but we have started this project, we have taken the funds from the state, and we have presented a Greenway that is halfway finished to our citizens and which they enjoy. I would encourage us to do whatever we need to do to complete what we have committed to do."
Mullinax added that he did not want to see the city get "into the habit of getting into the middle of projects and backing out."
Council member Wayne Dellinger opposed additional funding for the project, citing concerns over using fund balance to complete the project.
"This is money we have not budgeted and money that is taken out of our savings account," Mullinax said. "It is money that will serve citizens for years to come."

The Sisterhood of Temple Oseh Shalom visited Red Cedar Elementary, Pritchardville Elementary, M.C. Riley Elementary and Bluffton Elementary schools to present $500 checks to help advance the summer reading programs.
Smiling, happy faces of the students showed the Sisterhood the books they received and presented the group a "thank you" poster for the donations to the reading program. Each child received a chapter book to take home.
