The March of Dimes celebrated excellence in nursing throughout Georgia on November 19 at the Hyatt Regency here in Atlanta. We're very pleased to announce that 27 of our Emory Healthcare nurses were honored as finalists in the Georgia March of Dimes Nurse of the Year Award, and at Saturday's event, 3 of our nurses were recipients of 2011 Nurse of the Year Awards! Our nurses receiving Nurse of the Year Award Honors at the March of Dimes Nurse of the Year Awards, hosted by Grady Health System, are listed below:
- Debra Barker received top honors in the category of Critical Care
- Judith Wold received top honors in the category of Public Health
- Judy Gretz received top honors in the category of Women's Health
More than 450 attended this second annual event that recognized nurses who embody leadership, compassion and excellence in patient care across all specialties. With such a special group to honor, an equally as special chair for the event was needed. Emory Healthcare's own Chief Nursing Officer, Susan Grant MS, RN, NEA, FAAN, served as the chair of the awards ceremony; "I am very proud of these outstanding nursing professionals for being recognized by the March of Dimes in this inaugural Nurse of the Year event for the state of Georgia. This is a wonderful honor for Debra, Judith and Judy, and I congratulate all of the Emory nurses who were nominated, as well as the winners in each category," says Susan. "This recognition and event is a wonderful way to honor the important role and significant impact of nursing within the communities, hospitals and clinics across the state of Georgia. I am grateful and honored by the opportunity to serve as chair and recognize these very special nurses."
We second Susan's gratitude. We are extremely grateful to our team of nurses at Emory Healthcare for all that they do each and every day to support and advance truly patient-centered care. We are proud of their tireless efforts and dedication to providing the highest quality health care possible for our patient and family community.
The Nurse of the Year selection committee reviewed hundreds of applications across 16 categories ranging from Home Health and Palliative Care to NICU and Critical Care disciplines. Nearly 200 finalists emerged, all representing the March of Dimes vision for a healthier, stronger generation of babies and families.
"Nurses play an incredibly critical role in our community. They are truly the unsung medical heroes of the healthcare field and we join the world in saluting them," says Sheila Ryan, March of Dimes State Director.
Florence Nightingale, one of the pioneers in nursing, said, "Nursing is an art; and if it is to be made an art, it requires as exclusive a devotion, as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or cold marble, compared with having to do with the living body? […] It is one of the Fine Arts; I had almost said the finest of the Fine Arts."
Nursing truly is an art. And it takes a very special type of person dedicate his/her life to caring for others. We thank, honor and celebrate all of our nurses for all that they do!

It's hard to believe but the number of online searches is still rising. Over 90% of all Internet users use Google to find any type of products and services. Therefore, getting one's business into those search results is vitally important for getting noticed. As doing this is a complicated task, considering current Google protocols, hiring a Belfast SEO service has also become vital.
One might ask why bother with a local service when the Internet has no borders. It's a valid question, and it's true that some international agencies offer to promote their clients locally. However, the truth of the matter is that a local business does this best.
Therefore, if one is looking to promote their company in Northern Ireland, hiring a Belfast SEO service, like Gekkoshot Digital Marketing should provide more efficient results. Appealing to the local audience online is extremely important as even in 2015 over 50% of mobile searches sought local results. The popularity of mobile devices has grown since then and Google responded to it by developing more 'sensitive' protocols, which allow performing more sophisticated personalized searches.
This definitely increased the consumers' satisfaction with Google in general. However, this also made the marketing experts' jobs much harder. Today, in order to attract organic traffic one needs much more than a clever use of keywords. SEO of 2017+ must be finely targeted towards the prospective buyer. Professional agencies employ teams of specialists who work on a single project together. This way, they can achieve a more efficient result than one SEO expert, no matter how good they are.
Belfast SEO Service: Professional Tricks 2017
Times change and Google Search protocols are updated regularly, so a SEO service today must be very adaptable. It's imperative that they follow the trends and adjust their practices. However, there are some areas which are sure to be efficient no matter what.
- Mobile optimization
- Spreading quality content via social media
- Making great video content
- Voice search
- Content aggregation
Gekkoshot Digital Marketing, https://gekkoshot.com/, offers to deliver all that and more. As a progressive marketing agency, they specialize in developing custom plans for every client.

What if we released our control over music and put it in the hands (fins?) of goldfish? This was Henry Chu's idea when he conceived Fish Harp. An aquarium with a clear glass lid holds the swimming musicians, and an array of different sized glasses sit on top. Whenever a goldfish swims beneath a glass, a motion sensor triggers a sound sample that mimics the sound that glass would make if a moist finger were dragged across its rim.
This glass harp played by squirmy animals from the deep isn't the only project worth seeing by Henry Chu. He's a prolific Hong Kong based interactive artist who works with Ipads, video projection, and other forms of generative art. His site is definitely worth a look.

VICTORIA - After months of delay, the B.C. Liberals finally released Tuesday a trio of evaluation reports that predated their $30-million payout for the cancelled Boss Power uranium mining claim.
The pictured painted by the 800 or so pages of documentation was not a pretty one for taxpayers, giving the appearance that the government had overpaid by as much as $21 million to keep the proceedings out of court.
The case goes back four years to the Liberal decision to impose a moratorium on uranium mining in B.C. and a claim for compensation by Boss Power, the Vancouver-based owner of the Blizzard property southeast of Kelowna.
The first evaluation to be released Tuesday was commissioned by the government after the company went to court. It pegged the value of the claim in the $4-million to $7-million range. The second, commissioned by the company, offered a sky's-the-limit evaluation of almost $100 million.
The third, and the eyebrow-raiser as regards the conduct of the Liberals, came from an independent evaluator, acting as a friend of the court in assessing the other two evaluations.
"I am aware that I have a duty to assist the court and not to be an advocate for any party," wrote Keith Spence, a Toronto-based expert in investment banking and the financing of mining projects. "I have prepared this report in conformity with that duty."
He found the company-commissioned evaluation to be "comprehensive and in many cases quite thorough." But over-reliant on a 30-year-old technical assessment that was itself lacking in "any evaluation to assess the project's economics." Consequently, it "may have overstated the value of the project."
The evaluation commissioned by the government he found to be "well thought out, thorough ... the methods used for the evaluation are appropriate and the conclusions logical." He viewed it "with a higher level of confidence."
Still, in fairness, he had to concede that "wherever there was doubt," the government evaluator had come down on the "conservative" side. Consequently Spence preferred the high-end evaluation from the report, plus "a discretionary premium of 30 per cent" to further compensate for all the lowballing.
"This would be $8.7 million."
There it was on the court record, filed in May of last year, and backed with all the authority of an independent expert who had no duty other than to assist the court in sorting out the competing evaluations.
Nevertheless, just as the Boss Power claim was about to be heard in B.C. Supreme Court last October, the B.C. Liberals opted to settle for $30 million, $21.3 million more than recommended in the independent evaluation.
How did the B.C. Liberals manage to "wrestle the company to the ceiling" on compensation, as Opposition energy critic John Horgan put it during question period Tuesday?
No plausible explanation was forthcoming from Energy Minister Rich Coleman. He told the house the Liberals had acted on internal legal advice, then segued into a beside-the-point exhumation of various NDP sins from the 1990s.
But the settlement, executed on the proverbial steps of the courthouse, ensured that there would be no witnesses called in connection with the extraordinary contents of a government affidavit that came to light only after the fact.
The court filing ("which the defendant makes unconditionally") described what happened after Boss Power applied to begin developing its claim in the spring of 2008, before the cabinet decision to impose its moratorium.
Normally, the inspector of mines would give such an application due consideration, then decide whether to reject, accept or accept it with conditions.
Instead higher-ups in the energy and mines ministry ordered the inspector to give the application no consideration whatsoever.
Those orders stood even after the ministry of the attorney-general countered that "the inspector had a statutory obligation to consider the notice of work on its merits and that a failure to do so would be a breach of his statutory duty."
The inspector was then relieved of his responsibilities and those responsibilities were passed to other employees of the ministry, who then gave no consideration to the merits of the application from Boss Power.
Lastly, the government admitted that the official who gave those orders "knew that he did not have the authority to take the action and he took the action anyway."
The mines inspector ordered to disregard his statutory obligations. Advice from the ministry of the attorney-general disregarded as well. An official relieved of his responsibilities, apparently after he balked at an illegal order.
All this from the government's own statement of facts, filed in court.
Though the Liberals flatly refuse to discuss the contents of that astonishing confessional, neither have they disavowed it, other than to indicate that the officials involved did nothing wrong and there's more to it than can ever be discussed publicly.
The out-of-court settlement of course ensures that the full story never will be told. All of which leaves taxpayers on the hook for maybe $20 million more than necessary to prevent another load of Liberal dirty laundry from being aired in open court.

The cake is more like a pudding, soft, moist, fluffy, but not spongy like our normal cakes. It can be eaten warm or at room temperature. This cake does not keep well and should be eaten within a day or two and is normally served along with evening tea. It is very important to set the heat to minimum as the cake gets burnt quickly. You can see that in few of my pictures that the cake is over browned as my son was impatient and hungry so had to turn up the heat a bit and the cake browned much further than it should! The recipe is very simple and very flexible. You can reduce or increase the amount of sugar, flour, eggs and milk powder in the recipe and yet get the same result. I have been making this quite a few times now and always used different measurements and yet you get a good cake.
This recipe als goes for the Kerala kitchen event hosted by sarak of spoonful of delight.

Apple announced it hired John Browett to becomes its new senior vice president of retail, an odd choice for a company that seems to have a penchant for Apple insiders.
Browett is the former chief executive for Dixons Retail, a U.K chain of stores that appears to be similar to a Best Buy but with less personality and a boring color scheme. Apparently he came to Apple's notice after redesigning the stores and putting -- you guessed it! -- Apple products out front. He also organized the Apple store-within-a-store, according to the Wall Street Journal
U.S. & World
Browett has been with Dixons since 2007. Before that, he was at Tesco, one of the U.K.'s largest grocers, and he was also the chief executive of Tesco.com. He also has a degree in natural sciences from Cambridge University and University of Pennsylvania's Wharton Business School.

Apple to Pay up to $280 Credit for Used iPhones
Apple kicked off a long-awaited iPhone trade-in program for its U.S. retail stores on Friday, the latest in its efforts to attract and retain customers for its smartphones.
The Cupertino, Calif. tech giant said its "reuse and recycling" program emphasizes the value of iPhones, even after they've been used.
"In addition to helping support the environment, customers will be able to receive a credit for their returned phone that they can use toward the purchase of a new iPhone," a company spokeswoman said.
To get a credit, customers have to show that their trade-in iPhone works by powering it on. Customers also have to be in wireless carrier contracts when they leave the store, Apple employees said.
Trading in and buying a new phone through the program won't re-start a customer's contract, a person familiar with the process said. Additionally, if the cost of phone they're buying is lower than the trade-in credit they receive, they'll get a gift card with the remaining balance.

As the Fourth of July approaches and consumers are shopping for their parties and cookouts, Tanimura & Antle's field-packed heart-healthy Artisan lettuce is sure to catch their eyes.
The packaging process for T&A's Artisan lettuce offers superior freshness and protection as a direct response to consumer preferences and retailer requests.
"This product has been field harvested and packed in a specially designed clamshell for freshness, then carefully packed in a carton and palletized," said Brian Antle. "From the field the lettuce is transported as quickly as possible to our facility to be cooled before being loaded onto a refrigerated trailer to transport to retail locations."
Each Artisan lettuce four-count clamshell will make at least eight side salads or four main dish salads. Unlike other lettuce blends, Artisan lettuce won't wilt when dressed, so consumers can choose the dressing that suits their final salad creation.
The convenience of this item makes it perfect for holiday get-togethers, and the company's lettuce is grown entirely on U.S. family farms, making T&A's verdant fields of lettuce as American as amber waves of grain.
Artisan lettuce is certified as a heart-healthy food by the American Heart Association. Packages feature the Heart Check mark, which easily identifies it as a sensible food choice in an overall heart-healthy diet.
Tanimura & Antle's Artisan lettuce is a select seed variety that has been carefully chosen for premium flavor, quality and variety. It includes three different petite whole head lettuce in both red and green varieties.

War-time instinct takes over in train crash
MIDLAND, Texas (AP) -- With the thunderous crack of a freight train slamming into a parade float carrying his fellow war veterans, Sudip Bose went to work.
A front-line physician in Iraq, Bose and other veterans instantly tended to the injured. They applied tourniquets and put pressure on wounds as their training and battlefield experience took over in the chaotic moments after the wreck at a railroad crossing in this West Texas city.
"Instincts kicked in," Bose said Friday, a day after the train traveling at more than 60 mph barreled into a flatbed truck adorned with American flags and filled with wounded veterans and their spouses.
Four veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan were killed -- including an Army sergeant who apparently sacrificed his life to save his wife -- and 16 people were injured. Bose, who served in Fallujah and Baghdad, said the aftermath reminded him of a combat triage situation.
Some of the veterans who managed to jump clear of the wreck rushed to help the injured. Tommy Shoemaker, a special operations soldier, resuscitated one person and applied a tourniquet to a bleeding woman.
"They are trained for tragedy," said his wife, Pam Shoemaker of Monroe, La., who was with her husband on a float ahead of the one that was hit.
Killed were Marine Chief Warrant Officer 3 Gary Stouffer, 37; Army Sgt. Maj. Lawrence Boivin, 47; Army Sgt. Joshua Michael, 34; and Army Sgt. Maj. William Lubbers, 43. Five people remained hospitalized early Saturday. In Midland, three people were in stable condition and one in critical. None of the injuries are life-threatening, said hospital spokeswoman Marcy Madrid. A fifth person, who had been transferred to a Lubbock hospital shortly after the accident, is in serious condition.
At the time of the crash, the veterans were on their way to a banquet in their honor and being cheered on by a flag-waving crowd. Their float was inching across a railroad track in Midland when the crossing gates began to lower.
Some of those seated on the float jumped off just moments before the train seemed to appear out of nowhere and crashed into the truck.
Michael, one of the soldiers killed, pushed his wife off the float when he saw the train coming, his wife told Cory Rogers, a friend of the couple.
"His first instinct was to get her out of harm's way," said Rogers, who was not at the parade. "That's the kind of man he was, and I feel like it was his training as a paramedic and then as a soldier, choosing to put someone's life before your own."
Locals were struggling to cope with a tragedy at the start of what was supposed to be a three-day weekend of banquets, deer hunting and shopping in appreciation of the veterans' sacrifice.
"It's just a very tragic and sad thing," said Michael McKinney of Show of Support, the local charity that organizes the annual event and invited the veterans. "It's difficult when you're trying to do something really good and something tragic occurs."
Federal investigators were trying to determine whether the two-float parade had been given enough warning to clear the tracks.
National Transportation Safety Board member Mark Rosekind offered hope Friday that video would provide a fuller picture of what happened. Cameras were on both the lead car of the train and a sheriff's vehicle that was trailing the flatbed truck, Rosekind said.
The train was moving at 62 mph at the time of the crash, short of the 70 mph speed limit, Rosekind said. The speed limit was raised from 40 mph in 2006, Union Pacific spokeswoman Raquel Espinoza said.
Rosekind also said Friday that the truck driver voluntarily submitted to blood tests.
On Saturday, officials from the NTSB, the Federal Railroad Administration and Union Pacific were at the crash site conducting tests and taking pictures. They were inspecting the crossing gate, measuring distances and testing the crossing's warning bells. Officials declined to comment, referring all questions to spokespeople.
Makeshift memorials had popped up at the crash site, with some American flags and flowers visible. Mayor Wes Perry said a candlelight vigil is planned in downtown Midland on Saturday night.
Shoemaker said the flatbed truck she was riding on had just crossed the tracks and was moving slowly when she heard a train coming and looked back to see the lowered crossing gates bouncing up and down on the people seated on the float behind her.
Witnesses described people screaming as the warning bells at the crossing went off and the train blasted its horn.
Daniel Quinonez, who was waiting in his vehicle as the parade went by, said the float on the tracks could not go anywhere because of the one right in front of it.
"It was a horrible accident to watch happen right in front of me," he said.
Another witness, Joe Cobarobio, said only a few seconds elapsed between the time the crossing gates came down and the train slammed into the flatbed truck with a "giant cracking sound."
Federal Railroad Administration records reviewed by The Associated Press show there were 10 collisions at the crossing between 1979 and 1997. But no accidents had happened in the past 15 years, the NTSB's Rosekind said.
A key question for investigators is whether, after the speed limit was raised, the timing of the crossing gates was changed to give cars and trucks enough time to clear the tracks, Robert Chipkevich, who headed NTSB's rail investigations unit until 2010, said in an interview.
Investigators also will look at whether traffic lights prevented the flatbed truck in front from moving ahead, he said.
Associated Press writers James Beltran, Nomaan Merchant, Danny Robbins and Terry Wallace in Dallas; Angela K. Brown in Fort Worth, Texas; and Joan Lowy in Washington contributed to this report.

Police say they recovered a rambling typewritten note from 62-year-old William Spengler, who lured New York firefighters into a deadly ambush. NBC's Ron Mott reports.
Police investigating the ambush Monday in upstate New York in which two firefighters were killed said Tuesday that they had found what appeared to be human remains at the gunman's home. Authorities said they believed the remains were those of the gunman's 67-year-old sister, who lived with him.
William Spengler, 62, opened fire on the volunteer firefighters as they responded to a blaze in Webster just before 6 a.m. ET Monday in a small cluster of homes near Lake Ontario, police said. The firefighters — Michael Chiapperini, 43, a lieutenant with the Webster police, and Tomasz Kaczowka, 19 — were shot dead, and Spengler killed himself as seven houses burned around him.
Earlier, police said Spengler had left a three-page typewritten note saying he wanted to burn down the neighborhood and "do what I like doing best, killing people."
At a second briefing Tuesday, Webster Police Chief Gerald Pickering said police believed the probable human remains were those of Cheryl Spengler, 67, who had been missing since the ambush.
Officials provide the latest details on the ambush that killed two firefighters while responding to a blaze in Webster, N.Y.
Pickering said two other firefighters shot during the ambush, Joseph Hofstetter and Theodore Scardino, were recovering at a hospital in Rochester. A spokeswoman at Strong Memorial Hospital said the two were in guarded condition and were alert and oriented, but she didn't expect them to be released for a few more days.
An off-duty police officer also was hit by gunfire as he drove past the scene Monday morning. No information on his condition was immediately available Tuesday.
Pickering said Spengler armed himself with three weapons and set his house afire to lure first responders into a death trap.
Spengler's note didn't appear to offer a motive, Pickering said, but "he was equipped to go to war and kill innocent people."
"I'm not sure we'll never really know what was going through his mind," the chief said.
Despite being shot, one of the injured firefighters was able to flee from the scene under his own power. But the others remained pinned down on the narrow strip of land near Lake Ontario until a SWAT team arrived.
As police closed in, Spengler took his own life with a gunshot wound to the head, Pickering said.
Monroe County Sheriff's Office

Spengler had lived in the house with his sister and mother, Arline, who died in October at 91. Arline Spengler's obituary asked that memorial donations be made to the West Webster Fireman's Association.
A former neighbor told The Associated Press that Spengler "loved his mama to death" and that he "couldn't stand" his sister. The neighbor said he thought Spengler "went crazy" after his mother died.
Spengler was convicted of manslaughter in 1981 after the death of his grandmother, Rose Spengler, 92, and was paroled in 1998. He remained under parole supervision until 2006, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reported. Before Monday's shooting, Webster police hadn't had any run-ins with Spengler since he was paroled, they said.
Although Spengler couldn't legally own firearms as a convicted felon, police said he was armed with a Smith & Wesson .38 revolver, a 12-gauge pump shotgun and a Bushmaster .223 caliber rifle.
At least 33 people were displaced by the fire, which engulfed at least seven homes and a motor vehicle.
"These firemen are part of our family. You go into a fire with these guys. To see them go down with something like this is totally unexpected. We are in shock," Billy Gross, fire commissioner for West Webster, told the Democrat and Chronicle.
Dozens of area residents were evacuated, with police searching them as they left, the newspaper reported.
"Miserable thing to happen this time of year," Mark Johns, a state assemblyman who represents the area, told local NBC station WHEC. Johns said he knew some of the firefighters who were shot.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued a statement offering his "deepest condolences."
"All of our thoughts and prayers go to the families and friends of those who were killed in this senseless act of violence," Cuomo said. "New York's first responders are true heroes as they time and again selflessly rush toward danger in order to keep our families and communities safe."
Tom Winter, Ranjani Chakraborty and Rosanna Arlia of NBC News contributed to this report.

Over the weekend I read a book by an author I admire. I've read just about every book she's ever written. I've loved just about every book she's ever write, but not that one. In fact, I could find very little to like about the book. And yet, I read it to the bitter end (and the ending was just that--bitter; it left an unpleasant tang on my tongue). So, am I going to run to Amazon and Barnesandnoble.com to write a scathing review?
Not on your life.
This author is big, much BIGGER than I will ever be. She writes women's fiction. She makes mega, Mega, MEGA bucks. She's hit the New York Times bestsellers list (in hardcover) at least 16 times (and probably the USA Today top fifty as many times, too). So how could she write a book I didn't like?
Was the novel well written? Yes. Her gift for description is to die for. (Well, at least if you aspire to be an author.) Did she have a bad plot? Nope. She's written almost a score of books--she knows what she's doing. So what was the problem?
It just wasn't my cup of tea. It just didn't "sing" for me, but that doesn't mean it didn't hit the right notes for thousands (and we're talking HUNDREDS of thousands) of readers. So why not go on a public forum and tell the world my opinion of this book? Because it's not necessary. Would I have written a glowing review if I'd loved it? Probably not, so why do it if I didn't enjoy the book?
With the advent of social media, far too many people log on to review sites and vent their spleens. I've read some pretty nasty book reviews--and have been on the receiving end of them as well. Will a nasty review keep this fantastically talented woman from making a living? No. And she doesn't expect everyone will like her book(s). But neither does she (or any author) expect to be trashed in a public forum.
We all have different tastes. Not all books will appeal to everyone. Will I warn others away from the book? No. It's got quite a twist at the end that some (probably many) will find quite appealing. Will I read her next book? Probably. If I don't like it, then I will probably stop reading her work. There are plenty of other brilliant authors out there. But trash her work? Never.
Have you ever trashed a book on an online site? If so, why? (Feel free to answer anonymously. Well, if the CAPTCHA will let you.)

They're all really cool in a freaky kind of way. I like the one of him turning into the wolf, the one of him with his face going all cartoony reminds me of a transformation scene from one of the Howling movies.

Singer Jessica Simpson was caught in a 6.6 scale earthquake in Japan Monday, and tweeted that the natural disaster was the worst experience she'd ever been through.
Simpson was in Japan to begin filming her new reality series "The Price of Beauty" when the earthquake hit just southwest of Tokyo, shaking Simpson's home and startling the singer, Us magazine reported.
"Thought I was hallucinating," she wrote on her Twitter site Monday.
U.S. & World
"I have never felt anything like this in my life. Laying in bed watching CNN," Simpson wrote.
The singer, who recently split from NFL star Tony Romo, will debut her series on VH1 this year. "The Price of Beauty" will feature Simpson as she tours the globe, finding out how women achieve different standards of beauty on an international scale.
The earthquake struck Japan's Tsuruga Bay at 5:07 a.m. Japanese time and no casualties were immediately reported.

Conservation and Environment in Peru: Monthly Updates
Monthly Update - November 2005
November has seen Taricaya particularly active compared to previous years as there has been a relatively large number of volunteers and we have been able to accomplish a lot and keep our momentum going. Work this month has included the continuation of the new reserve-border trails, new additions to the animal release program, work at the pilot farm and trail maintenance. As expected the rainy season is ever closer and on several occasions volunteers got first-hand experience of being caught out in a tropical rainstorm, the best is still to come but the early rains are welcome as the jungle was beginning to look very parched.
Every year around this time we have to completely re-open our trail network as the first rains and heavy storms cause a lot of debris, accumulated over the dry season, to fall out of the canopy. The fallen branches (occasionally whole trees!) need to be cleared and in some cases diversions opened around major tree falls so that we can continue to use our complete network for observations and monitoring the reserve. This work along with the opening of our reserve borders has meant volunteers have become experts with machetes with perhaps the occasional blister! However the extra time spent in the less frequented areas of the reserve has lead to some great sightings including collared and white-lipped peccaries, brown capuchin monkeys, a nine-banded armadillo, red-brocket deer and a magnificent Ornate Hawk-eagle (Spizaetus ornatus). In addition to the trail sightings I put up the mist nets for a couple of days to show new volunteers how the bird monitoring works when the project is operational and I was very pleased to capture a new bird for our species list. The solitary cacique (Cacicus solitarius) (see photo) is a species I suspected we ought to find in our reserve but had never been recorded so whilst the number of captures was relatively low, just 13 birds in two days, the cacique made the whole exercise very worthwhile.
The animal release program saw a new arrival, and indeed a first for us, in the form of a Mealy Parrot (Amazona farinosa). This is the largest of the parrots native to the area and its call is a familiar sound around the reserve. Most days from the canopy pairs are seen displaying and calling in the taller emergent trees so when the time comes for its release I am confident it will find a wild mate quickly. The mealy parrot is currently being housed with its smaller cousins the Yellow-crowned parrots (Amazona ochrocephala) and seems to be settling in well. November brought us another successful release into the reserve and this time it was the turn of our young South American Coatis (Nasua nasua). The pair of coatis, like their North American cousins the racoon, are true omnivores feeding on almost anything they come across and as they grew they were becoming very restless in their enclosure. Thus Fernando and I decided it was time to release them deep in the reserve. The release site had to be a long way from the lodge as the coatis were a potential threat to some of our other residents such as the newly-released White-bellied parrots and so with all the volunteers we headed off to Leonela Swamp, our border with the national park , and the youngsters were freed. We videoed the successful release and the coatis are now free in their new home and, whether it be our reserve or the national park, their safety is now guaranteed.
At the pilot farm work continues and after some heavy clearing we have planted corn for our animals to help with the feed costs for the chickens and goats. The heliconia plants have taken root well and the lodge is decorated with their wonderfully colourful flowers. The idea of marketing these blooms is looking very promising and this will hopefully be another low cost project that will provide regular income to the local communities and farmers hence reducing their dependency on illegal activities detrimental to the ecosystem.
It just leaves me to sign off for this month; December will see us busy right up to the Christmas break so there will be plenty of news to report to you at the end of next month. But before I go I have included a photo of a large black caiman that I caught whilst out with volunteers. This beast was sitting on the bank off the river and put up quite a struggle. I often capture caimans to show the volunteers and illustrate the points I make in a lecture I give before heading out on the river, however, this was a particularly large one to be hoisting into the boat and worthy of a mention!

The Central Connecticut women's soccer team fell to Harvard (5-3-1) at home on Sunday night by a score of 2-0. Senior Nikola Deiter tallied eight saves in the loss and the Blue Devils fall to 2-7-0 on the season.
Harvard's Lizzie Durack made four saves in goal to record the shutout. The Crimson outshot Central 15-11 in the match, including 10-4 in shots on goal.
The Crimson got on the board first in the eighth minute of the first half off a corner kick. Peyton Johnson's corner kick found Emily Mosbacher in front of the net and she headed it past Deiter for the 1-0 lead.
The lead reached 2-0 in the second half when Margaret Purce turned a Central turnover into a break-away goal at 61:28.
Central had two good chances to score in the game. The first came on a corner kick in the sixth minute of the first half. On the corner, sophomore Cailynn Harding took a pass in front of the net but her header went high. In the second half, freshman Morgan Santoro took a pass just inside the box but her shot was saved by Durack.
Deiter's eight saves were her third-highest total of the season. She now has 48 saves in nine games this season.
Central returns to action at home on Friday in its Northeast Conference opener vs. Robert Morris at 7 p.m. on the CCSU Soccer Field. Fans can watch the game live by visiting www.NECFrontRow.com.

Beginning May 8, 2017, the Village will start a new Recycle Program. During the Week of April 24th, a Recycle TOTE will be delivered to all residential properties. Only 1 tote is being delivered to each property, whether it is a single residence or a double.
This new Recycle Tote is a smaller version of your Garbage Tote and has a green lid to easily identify it for RECYCLE USE ONLY. Please place all of your recyclables in this tote, including paper products.
An Information Packet has been included with your new Recycle Tote, including a revised Recycle/Garbage Guide, a Calendar detailing when to put your Recycle Tote out for collection, and general rules governing recyclables. We encourage you to read through this information and to keep this information handy for future reference.
Because these Recycle Totes hold more, the Village will be collecting Recyclables EVERY OTHER WEEK beginning the week of May 8th. There will be no change to your Collection day and Garbage/Trash collection will continue to take place every week.
Please remember not to place any trash/garbage inside your Recycle Tote. The Village will not collect garbage/trash from a Recycle Tote and we cannot accept Recyclables which have been co-mingled with trash/garbage.
Your blue tote is recyclable. If you wish to recycle your blue bin, you may place it beside your Recycle Tote for collection. You are not required to return your blue bin, however and may keep it for your own use.

Hacker Comex, who created JailbreakMe hacking tools for iOS devices at 19, made headlines for being hired by Apple. He was let go from Apple in 2012 for not replying to an email, and now he's going to work for Google.
Nicholas Allegra, a.k.a. Comex, announced the news on Twitter Tuesday night, according to Forbes. "In other news, I'm going to intern for Google in a few weeks."
U.S. & World
Other details are murky, including Allegra's age (which we think is around 21), but Allegra won't be working on Android because he also tweeted, "I don't like it enough to ever want to hack it."
Allegra was on leave from Brown University when he went to work for Apple in 2011, shortly after his JailbreakMe success. But a year later he was "let go" for not responding to an email to extend his internship. "I wasn't too happy about it, but it didn't seem like I was able to fix it," Allegra told Forbes.
Tech companies hiring hackers isn't unusual. In 2011, Facebook also hired GeoHot, another hacker responsible for hacking the Sony Playstation 3 so it could run pirated games.
Apple's loss could be Google's gain, especially since Google has a tendency to act in loco parentis to its interns and young employees -- including probably following up on employment emails.

Back at Christmas I decided I was getting more and more into this photo malarkey and wanted a film camera. Thankfully Katrina duly obliged and got me a Lomography Fisheye camera. It came away with me on my last trip, has been used now and then over the past few months and now I've got the photos back….with mixed results.
Upon seeing the results, I've learnt a few things:
– They're really dark unless the flash is used
– Close up really helps, after all that is kinda the point of a Fisheye camera
– Don't get the wrist strap or your finger in the way, I love the rainbow in the first shot but I've kinda ruined it
Budapest Memorial – you wouldn't believe I took this in daylight!
While away I got a bit addicted and bought two more film cameras for practically peanuts in Prague. One is a Smena 8 which seemed pretty archaic and temperamental but somehow works (with the exception of the winding on function, causing some blurry London shots). I have to admit I kinda like them
Bermondsey Street / St Mary Magdalen Churchyard
The other, a beautiful heavy Zenit E turned out an almost blank film. Back to the drawing board there then. To be continued ….

Excellent service, I highly recommend TFix, my son broke his Nintendo Switch screen and within a week or so I received it back repaired and ready to go. Very easy process, you print out a postage label, send the item that needs repairing and throughout the process they update you via text message/email the status of your order, and only then once they have fixed it do you pay the invoice. After that they tell you how and when it's been delivered. 100% recommend them.
Pricing was extremely competitive and very helpful to post prices. An intuitive website in addition to excellent service. Very regular updates on where they are up to with your piece of equipment and very prompt service all round. If I have anything to say by way of improving service. Perhaps a more obvious reminder for those like myself not paying enough attention. Send only the defective item. No batteries, controllers or ancillaries of any kind. Quite handy really as posting costs much less.
Quick and easy to send. Lightning fast at assessing the root of the problem and kept in touch with me every step of the way. Fixed it and had it send back to me days before I expected it to. Amounted up To just a fraction of the price of a brand new console ! Absolutely Brilliant company and the best service possible couldn't have asked for any better !
Great service and assistance. Walk in service. Very convenient too, Oh and their reception looks great!

How to do Nintendo Switch Blue Screen (BSOD) Repair yourself?
Everyone wants to save money, and virtually the main reason someone wants to fix their Nintendo Switch is to save some money. Well, in some situations buying a new one is not even an option. Of course, there is no cheaper way to fix your Nintendo Switch than to do it yourself. Once you decide to go down this rabbit hole, we suggest doing some preparation. Everyone expects that they will open up their Nintendo Switch and there is a little button, which says flick it to fix it, however, the truth is far from it. We suggest staying away from Youtube and forum fads as most likely a simple fix won't do any good. You will have to figure out how the Nintendo Switch operates internally to have a chance at repairing it. So, roll up your sleeves, take a look at disassembly pictures online and be prepared to encounter lots of cables. You will also find various secure bolts and possibly a disappointment as there's usually no such thing as an easy fix.
How to get a manufacturer to repair my Nintendo Switch?
Every single Nintendo Switch sold in the UK comes with 1-year manufacturer's warranty. So if it starts to misbehave, you can always reach out to their customer support and book it in for warranty investigation. In case of a successful warranty claim, they most likely will issue you with a refurbished Nintendo Switch. The advantage is that you won't have to pay anything for it. Disadvantages would be that you will probably have to wait up to a month for the whole repair/replacement process to complete. Also, you won't be getting your Nintendo Switch back, it will be someone else's refurbished unit. If your Nintendo Switch is out of warranty or the damage has been caused accidentally, you're pretty much out of luck as well. This means you will have to fork out a hefty sum of cash for a repair. If you're ready to go through this, give the manufacturer a call and nag them about the problems, your Nintendo Switch has. They should provide you instructions on how to get your kit over to them for warranty.
Where can I fix Nintendo Switch? Local or online repair centre?
Everyone has to agree that the best people at fixing your Nintendo Switch are the ones who manufactured it. They have all the knowledge on how to repair and what replacement parts they will need in the process. However, as mentioned before, going to the manufacturer is usually out of options, be it due to expired warranty or solely due to a lack of patience to deal with poor customer service or extremely long service times. In our "unbiased" opinion independent Nintendo Switch repair centre is the way to go. Following a few basic rules, one can select the business, which will most likely provide professional service and brilliant customer experience. In most cases for a fraction of the price, what manufacturer would quote to fix your device. When choosing a repair centre, positive reviews are essential, of course, professional-looking and correctly functioning website always helps to add to trust. Be wary of places that seem to "specialise' in fixing everything; it is impossible to know the ins and outs of all electronic items. The real repair centres usually specialise in servicing a few different device types. It takes a lot of effort to figure out how to economically and reliably repair particular device, in this case, Nintendo Switch. So we advise you to choose wisely and read other people reviews about the company.

Life often is lonely in the Eagle Ford 'trailerhood'
For oil workers, housing is just a place to sleep.
KENEDY — If the Lonesome Creek RV Resort were any more lonesome, it could at times pass for a graveyard of manufactured housing. On a recent midmorning visit, the only signs of life were a skittish stray cat and a turkey buzzard wandering among the trailers.
Only during the early morning and late afternoon shift changes in the oil field, when the welding trucks and dusty, oversized pickups come rolling in off FM 2509, does the park stir from its stupor.
Even during what passes for the evening rush hour, it's rare to see more than a few tired workers, waiting with towels in hand to use the office showers, or drinking beer with buddies on their trailer stoops.
"This is basically a place to sleep. People get out of work, sleep, get up and do the same thing all over again," said Samantha Mirelez, 23, the assistant manager, who barely knows some of the renters and sometimes goes all day without a visitor.
"About 200 people live here, maybe 10 women. No kids live here right now. I think I have four or five dogs at the park. All inside dogs," she said.
In the past three years, thousands of oil field workers have flooded South Texas to cash in on the Eagle Ford Shale play. And since conventional housing in the region is both scarce and expensive, local entrepreneurs have opened hundreds of makeshift RV parks.
Some are little more than loads of caliche graded over hastily dug water and septic systems. And while amenities range from nonexistent to primitive, some park owners charge $500 or more a month for an RV slip.
Like most of the parks, Lonesome Creek exists as an artificial, parallel community, a temporary settlement of migratory workers who have no thought of staying and little contact with the natives beyond what's necessary to buy gas, food and beer.
Only a bold few visit the local bars, where the posted advisories can be sobering.
"No knives, guns, drugs or thugs," reads the warning outside Coyotes, a bar in Kenedy.
For that matter, said Mirelez, most park residents have little to do with each other, unless they happen to work together or come from the same hometown. The rare disputes usually are about loud music.
"They are peaceful. They don't mess with each other. Everyone is in their own world," she said.
The park, which opened three years ago, holds 77 trailers, with 20 more on the way. It also has eight large cabins that sleep four. Most workers come from the Rio Grande Valley, but some are from distant ports such as Louisiana, New Mexico and Washington state.
While the South Texans often can drive home on weekends, others live too far away or must work 14-day tours, followed by 14 days off.
Mirelez, who lived at Lonesome Creek with her husband and young son last year before finding a house in Floresville, has painful memories.
"I remember I would go crazy when I first moved over here. There's no space. These poor people," she said.
This experience helps when someone drops by the office looking for a sympathetic ear.
"People come in because they get lonely. They have no one here. That happened last week. An older man came in. He just needed to talk to someone," she said.
Trade-off for good jobs
For the workers, the hard work and living in cramped conditions, sometimes with two or three other men, is the basic trade-off of oil field life: Long hours on the job and separation from family in exchange for money that could not be earned elsewhere.
"I've lived here since 2010. My wife and three boys are back in Mission. I get home almost every weekend," said Armando Barrientos, 36, who trucks gravel and caliche to drilling sites around Karnes County.
Barrientos earns about twice what he could at home but said being away creates predictable domestic strains.
"Distance affects a marriage, and not in a good way," he said. "It's harder on her. We tend to get used to this job. You have the mentality you're doing it for the family, but the girls don't see it that way. They prefer you be at home."
Angel Terrazas, a pipeline crew foreman, is one of the few to travel with some family members. Wife Virginia, sister Dulce and father-in-law Andres Islas all work with him.
"We've been working on pipelines together for seven years in Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma, Louisiana, West Virginia, South Carolina and now Texas," he said.
Terrazas, 34, from Alamo, makes about $2,500 a week, but said it comes at a stiff personal price.
"I like the money. I don't like the travel. If you stay home, you're working for minimum wage and living on food stamps," he said.
"The hardest part is leaving my 2-year old baby, Angelynn, back home. She stays with my mother-in-law. When we go home for two days, and then have to leave, she cries," he said.
His wife, Virginia, a pipeline locator, has worked with him for almost six years. His sister Dulce is her helper. Her three children stay with her mother back home.
"I was a bookkeeper in McAllen, but I left it about a year ago. This is my first oil field job and the money is good," Dulce said.
A nightly ritual for the Terrazas clan is to enjoy some stout Bloody Marys while grilling meat outside the trailer. But such relaxing breaks must be brief. At 6 a.m., the crew would be rolling again, headed back to a pipeline job near Cuero.
The 'trailerhood'
Angie Mears, 44, one of the few women living in the park, came from Itasca, a small town north of Waco. She and husband Barry moved in about a year and a half ago, after they sold their one-man trucking business.
"I'm here to take care of my husband. Not to be ugly, but some men don't do well by themselves," she said during a chat at the Lonesome Creek office.
The couple left a country home on a 10-acre lot for a 40-foot mobile unit in what Mears sardonically calls "the trailerhood."
"There have been sacrifices. I had to sell all my animals that I loved: goats, chickens and a horse," she said.
Also left back home were two sons, ages 18 and 22, and her husband's elderly parents, who sometimes require quick visits.
But overall, Mears said, the move has been very good and she accepts the limits of trailer life. Her husband earns much more as a construction project leader than he did hauling gravel, she said.
She shudders at memories of the $500 diesel fill-ups and the $6,000 for new tires all around.
"This is a whole lot better than being self-employed. We sold that dump truck a year ago, and I'm so glad. It's a lot less stressful," she said.
But, she said, despite stereotypes of quick oil field wealth, not everyone is getting rich.
"There's a guy I went to school with down here and he drives a truck. He's living in the back porch of the company he works for because he can't find housing," she said. "My friend was 30 days away from home. He wanted to go back but he couldn't because he had to make the extra money."
Meanwhile, she's in no hurry for the Eagle Ford Shale boom to fade.
"We'll do this for as long as it's here. When it's over, we'll have a house that's paid for, a retirement and savings," she said.
Population swells
By rough count, Lonesome Creek is one of about 90 RV parks and man camps, which have cabins or larger mobile homes, scattered around Karnes County. More are being built all the time, and no one has a good count.
"I'll be honest with you. There are so many here, we don't even know where all of them are," said County Judge Barbara Shaw, who's sympathetic to the oil field workers.
"It's not the way they want to live. It's almost like the military. You're gonna go when its time to go. It's a tough life. I think we have to be more understanding of their needs," she said.
And, she said, in her visits to RV parks, she finds a sense of estrangement. Some locals blame the workers for bad traffic and high prices, and the pejorative expression "oil field trash" still is heard.
"They say, 'We get a lot of sighs and sneers, but we've got to be here to work,'" she said.
The judge estimates the oil field workers have swelled the county's population of about 12,000 by 70 percent, but again, no one has a good count.
Helen Hernandez, the county's special projects coordinator, said some operators resist getting a $25 permit that requires a septic system inspection, making it hard to keep track of them.
"Some property owners say, 'I've owned this property all my life and I can do what I want with it,'" Hernandez said. "We never find out they have an RV park until we get a complaint."
At last count, she said, there are 57 permitted man camps and RV parks in the unincorporated portions of the county. This does not include those within city limits or others that have not sought a permit.
"You really can't drive down a country road without finding one. There could be 20 more that are not permitted," she added.
"We get a lot of complaints about smells," she said, but added that because the county doesn't have an RV park ordinance, there's no effective way to police them.
Sheriff Dwayne Villanueva said his deputies rarely get called to RV parks although early this year there was a murder at one in Runge, and a man despondent over a failed marriage committed suicide at another one. His death by gunshot went unnoticed by his neighbors.
"We had to bang on doors to wake people up. No one had heard anything," the sheriff said.
Starting small
For Javier Casas, 37, of Zapata, opening a trailer park was an afterthought when the family-owned oil field service company, Duval Lease Service, acquired 48 acres south of Kenedy and moved here in 2008.
The business, which builds well site infrastructure including tanks and piping, occupies an adjacent hillside on U.S. 181. It was recently sold to Wood Group, a large energy company.
The Lonesome Creek park started out as a modest venture on the back acreage but quickly grew.
"When we first opened up with 15 slips, we had a water well. But there are limits, so when we expanded, we had to do something," he said. "At that point, we knew the Eagle Ford was a sure thing, so we ran 5 miles of 6-inch water line to the park. It cost $250,000."
The cabins at Lonesome Creek cost $1,250 a month, and the trailer slips go for $330, with water, sewage and Internet access included. This is low compared with some others. A park now opening in nearby Kenedy is asking $530 to $560 for a slip.
What began as afterthought has proved quite lucrative.
"We've been in business three years now, and it's paid for itself," said Casas, who hopes to be running the park 20 years from now.
"It won't be the big boom then, but there will be production. The parks that are now packing them in like sardines and charging $550 a month plus utilities won't be here," he said.
Oil in the blood
Always in the back of the minds of most Lonesome Creek residents is the next trip home.
With six days to go before he could fly back to New Mexico, Joe Golding, 62, a grandfatherly consultant for Conoco-Phillips, confessed that trailer life in South Texas has been a trial.
"It's miserable. I've been married 40 years and I've not been away from home before. I want to be home with my family," said Golding, who goes back to New Mexico every two weeks.
Golding has been in Kenedy for more than two years. He lives in a 37-foot RV with another worker who fortunately knows how to cook.
After a long, live-at-home career in the oil patch in northern New Mexico, he retired a few years back, but quickly learned it was a mistake.
"After two months, my wife said, 'Get a job or get a divorce. I don't care which,'" he said.
And he admits, as lonely as life can get at Lonesome Creek, it's worth it because he's still married and is being fulfilled in other intangible ways.
"I yearned for the oil field. It gets in your blood. You can't get away from it," he said.
More than halfway through his 14-day work tour, Golding was making plans to invite his wife and eldest daughter to visit Lonesome Creek. Maybe they would get a sense of life he has chosen, complete with the buzzards and welders.
"I think next month, I'll bring 'em both down here and show them what South Texas is all about. I enjoy it. The camaraderie and the people," he said.

Slayer Guitarist Jeff Hanneman Dies
Jeff Hanneman, a guitarist for the thrash metal band Slayer, died Thursday of liver failure, the band announced in a statement on its website.
"Slayer is devastated to inform that their bandmate and brother, Jeff Hanneman, passed away at about 11AM this morning near his Southern California home," the statement said. "Hanneman was in an area hospital when he suffered liver failure. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his sister Kathy and his brothers Michael and Larry, and will be sorely missed."
As Billboard reports, Hanneman, 49, contracted necrotizing fasciitis, a rare skin tissue disease, two years ago, most likely from a spider bite. It's not clear if the flesh-eating disease played a role in his death. Here's more from Billboard:
"Born in Oakland, Calif., and a devoted Raiders fan, Hanneman was raised primarily in Long Beach and became fascinated with wars and military campaigns — themes he'd bring to Slayer's music — via his father, a World War II veteran, and brothers who served in Vietnam. He met [guitarist Kerry] King in 1981 and decided to form their own band, mixing heavy metal and punk influences and signing with Metal Blade Records for Slayer's first two albums, Show No Mercy in 1983 and Hell Awaits in 1985. The group made an eyebrow-raising move to the hip-hop label Def Jam in 1986 for the covers album Undisputed Attitude and the classic Reign in Blood."
Metal fans and stars took to Twitter to express their condolences.
Hatebreed, which covered Slayer's "Ghosts of War," tweeted:
Rest In Peace Jeff Hanneman! A True Heavy Metal LEGEND! twitpic.com/cnp1b7— Hatebreed (@hatebreed) May 2, 2013
Hanneman is probably best known for his work on 1986's Reign in Blood, for which he wrote "Raining Blood" and "Angel of Death."
In the 1980s, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth and Metallica were the big four bands of the genre.


text: Marco Werman: I'm Marco Werman, this is The World. Car envy, you see a sweet ride and you can't help that pang of jealousy, a vintage Ferrari Dino, a convertible Mercedes, that's what makes my jaw drop. Well, jaws have been dropping in Italy at the site of one particular economy car and that's because it belongs to Pope Francis, and actually, since when does the pope drive his own car? Patty Agnew is the new Rome correspondent for the Irish Times and he's with us now. So, Patty, what is the pope driving? Patty Agnew: Well, the pope's driving 20-year-old Renault 4 with about 300,000 kilometers on the clock. And he's driving it because it was offered to him by a 69-year-old priest in the northern Italian city of Barona. He wrote a letter to the pope and was telling the pope about the work he's doing, because he works in a parish on the outskirts of Barona, where he works with homeless, with kids with drug problems. He was describing that in the letter that he wrote to the pope and he also then said that he'd like to make the pope a present of this old car for symbolic reasons, essentially. And he was very surprised when just a couple of nights ago he got a phone call from the pope, Francis said to him, "Are you serious? Do you really want to give me the car?" The priest said yes and Pope Francis said well have you got another car? He said yes, yes, I've got another car. So he said okay, well see me next Saturday in the Vatican. The priest basically put the car onto a lorry. He got a number of his parishioners to put it into a bus and the lorry and the bus both made their way down to the Vatican. And last Saturday, just a couple of hours before the pope lead his prayer vigil for peace in Syria, Father Zocca presented the 20-year-old car to the pope. Werman: Wow, so Renault 4, that's a real jalopy. Americans might remember the Renault 5, which was marketed in this country as Le Car for a few years. Renault 4 isn't even that good. It's a real, I mean it's a real junker, isn't it? Agnew: It's what Italians like to call utilitarian. It's very much a basic car, but they were very good little cars. I mean in my native Ireland people would use them to you know, bail some hay in the back and drive through the fields to give the cattle something to eat. So they're very tough old cars. The bad thing about this one is that when Father Zocca got to the Vatican last Saturday, he and just a number of the parishioners were allowed in through the gates of the Vatican and went to the Domus Santa Marta, which is the glorified Vatican B&B where Pope Francis lives. And the pope came down to look at the car and Father Zocca said, "Well, look you know, Holy Father, these are some of my parishioners." There were more parishioners outside, but the Swiss guards wouldn't let them all in. And he said, "Oh, wouldn't they? Well, we'll see about that." And with that, Francis got into the Renault alongside Father Zocca and they drove off to the front gates of the Vatican to greet the other parishioners. And then he took them all inside the Vatican afterwards. Werman: I love it, a real man of the people. So what about the security issue? I mean the whole Popemobile with its bulletproof dome was to heighten security, are there Swiss guards stuffed into this Renault like circus clowns? Agnew: I'm not sure, Marco, how much he's actually gonna use this Renault. It's more a symbolic gesture. What he does do an awful lot, Francis, he walks around the Vatican a lot and he drives an old Ford Focus around as well. So what he will not do is use as you pointed, the Popemobile, nor the very formal bulletproof Mercedes and BMW-type cars that are available in the Vatican guard. He doesn't want that type of conspicuous wealth. In as much as he doesn't want that, he is a nightmare. He's a headache for the Vatican security because you know, he simply ignores some of their sacrosanct basic security measures. There's another aspect to this as well, which you know, our listeners, some of them I'm sure are aware of, but a couple of weeks ago he said it pains me when I see a priest arriving somewhere in a flashy new car. And the gesture that the Father Zocca of Barona made is that, i.e., at the end of the day, one of the most interesting aspects of Francis' pontificate so far is a lot of his teaching, a lot of his comments are directed not just at the faithful, but also at his own clergy. And in this case, in the case of cars and flashy cars, what he's saying is, you know, whatever happened to your vows of chastity, poverty and obedience…particularly poverty. Werman: Patty Agnew, the Rome correspondent for The Irish Times. Thanks so much. Agnew: Thank you.

Open Access Week
October 23, 2017
We're celebrating Open Access Week, which is now in its tenth year. The theme for this international event is 'Open in order to…', which has prompted discussion from academic authors, libraries, research funders, and publishers about why we make research open access and what the benefits are, from expanding readership, reaching new audiences, inspiring others, to delivering tangible benefits.
In celebration of this event, we asked some of our authors and editors to discuss their commitments to Open Access publishing.
Channing Arndt and Finn Tarp, co-editors of Measuring Poverty and Wellbeing in Developing Countries
"We were very pleased to publish our book open access with Oxford University Press. While we hope that scholars and practitioners from all over the world will find the book and accompanying materials of value, a particular aim of the book is to reduce barriers to entry to the practice of rigorous quantitative measurement of poverty and wellbeing for scholars and practitioners in developing countries. The open access format takes many strides towards achieving this objective and complements nicely the planned availability of software, also in electronic format, designed to assist with practical estimation of measures based on consumption as well as an approach to multidimensional measurement of wellbeing."
Delia Bentley, co-author of Existentials and Locatives in Romance Dialects of Italy
"Open Access (OA) maximises the impact of academic research, without affecting the quality of refereeing. Our 2015 Oxford University Press OA monograph was immediately made available on Oxford Scholarship Online, while at the same time we received an integral PDF copy for our personal web pages and institutional repository. In the first year after its publication, our OA monograph was accessed over one thousand times. It was also published as a book, and there is no evidence that its availability online has affected sales. The support of our library staff was essential when we made the decision to opt for OA. We would no doubt do this again in the future. Refereeing and publication traditionally used to be very lengthy processes, in linguistics, which is really suboptimal in a scientific field of research. There is thus strong support for Open Access, in all its forms, since it facilitates the timely and global circulation of ideas."
Duncan Green, author of How Change Happens
"The traditional author descends from the mountain of scholarship clutching a rather expensive tablet of stone, in which his/her wisdom is set out to a suitably grateful but very passive public. Think of force-feeding geese. Appropriately for a book about change, we tried to do things differently. Oxfam and Oxford University Press wanted to try out different business models which included open access (OA). The book has drawn on the 'wisdom of crowds' at regular intervals throughout its production. We invited comments on the writing (with the blog acting as the first draft), and included three potential designs for a cover which we put out for votes. Following publication, we went into social media overdrive – a funky new website with lots of background materials on the themes covered in the book, a guide to the various launch events, blogs and tweets, and now a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) and other teaching packages based on the book. Exciting stuff!"
Peter Smith and David Ross, co-editors of Field Trials of Health Interventions: a Toolbox (available through Oxford Medicine Online)
"When we published the third edition of this work, we were particularly keen that the material would be readily available, at no cost, to research workers in low and middle income countries (LMICs). The book is focused on the conduct of intervention trials in such countries but access to the printed versions has been challenging in some locations. We obtained support from the Wellcome Trust and the World Health Organisation to make the third edition freely available, both as a hyperlinked PDF version and on Oxford Medicine Online, as well as being available for purchase as a printed book. We've been delighted by the response and know that it has already been incorporated into a number of teaching programmes, as well as extensively downloaded by those conducting field trials in LMICs. By publishing it electronically under a CC-BY-NC Creative Commons licence, anyone can redistribute the PDF and any parts of it can be incorporated into teaching and similar materials for non-commercial purposes. Publishing in this way has been a very positive experience for us as editors of the book, and has strengthened our belief that many more books, whose contents are of special interest to those in LMICs, should be published in this way."

FTM2014 - How to include a 2nd Image for a merged Record with two pages.But I have one more step for ALL of my media files or images. That is to put a Citation "on" them. I want to be able to look at a Media File (image, picture, census record) and see where I got it from and any other detail. I also want to be able to view that "citation" in my Ancestry Member Tree (AMT).
In the Sources Workspace, I have selected the 1870 U.S. Census for Maryland, Baltimore County. I have selected the Citation for the Record I was looking at. The Citation detail is combined with the Source Template and presents the Reference Note.
But, there are two Media files. The one on the left says 1870 Federal C and the second one has some random filename that came from Ancestry.com.
None of that is very helpful for me.
I need to do two things to both of these images. I had put them into the Census Category in the Media Folder, as I showed in the above blog post, but I can do better AND then include a Citation with that image.
There are two items below that are important for the next step. The first is the Reference Note, and the Media Detail ICON. I want to Copy the Reference Note (my good citation) and use that in the Media Detail Screen.
If I Right Click in the Reference Note and use the Select All, then Copy that text, the Citation will be in my computer's Clipboard.
In the above image, the COPY text will become active and I will right click again and click on Copy.
Back to that tool bar, I will select the Media Detail ICON and the image will open.
I will select everything in the Description box on the right, and Paste (CTRL+V) the Reference Note that is in the Clipboard. You can also Right click on the Hi-lighted text and select paste.
The Caption is the way I want it.
1870 Federal Census Record for William Howard - Page 1
The Category is Census - Citation
(That category was created to remind me that I need to put a Citation on that image. The filename is the format I want.
Now the Description has my Citation. I clicked on Edit to the Right of Categories and put this image into the Census Category, as it has a Citation.
To the 2nd page.
Selecting the Media Detail for this one, doesn't meet any of my standards. The Caption has no meaning. If you look closely, the Caption and the Filename are the Same, and not helpful at all. Both need to be changed. The Category is right but the Description is blank. I will have to rename the file so that the Filename reflects the 2nd page and the Caption reflects the 2nd page.
I will also replace the Caption to:
1870 Federal Census Record for William Howard - Page 2
Clicking on OK will take me back to the Source Workspace, where I will Right Click on the 2nd image and it will allow me to RENAME the file.
I will rename it to:
All is well within Family Tree Maker but, what about the AMT?
Here is that image in the Ancestry Member Tree.

A judge on Monday will decide whether a Chicago man accused of stalking and secretly videotaping ESPN star Erin Andrews should be returned to Los Angeles as a federal prisoner or be allowed to be freed on bail to face charges against him.
FBI officials late Friday evening arrested Michael David Barrett, who's accused of filming Andrews in the buff in her hotel room, the FBI announced Friday. Barrett appeared in a Chicago court Saturday in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Arlander Keys, who'll decide his fate.
Barrett, 48, was cuffed at Chicago O'Hare International Airport by the FBI, who've charged Barrett stalked Andrews "with the intent to harass, to place under surveillance with intent to harass and intimidate, and to cause substantial emotional distress to a person in another state," the FBI told TMZ.com Friday.
U.S. & World
Barrett faces federal charges of interstate stalking for taking the videos, posting them and trying to sell them to TMZ, the FBI said.
He was ordered to return to Los Angeles, where charges against him were filed. A Monday hearing will determine if he will travel in custody or be freed on bond.
His attorney, Rick Beuke, said he's known Barrett for 10 years and called him a "regular guy" and a "great friend" whose has never been in trouble. "I don't think he's even had a traffic ticket," Beuke said. "I must have calls from 30 people wanting to know what they could do to help."
Beuke said he assumes the allegations against his client are untrue and that he only met with Barrett briefly. "We'll know more on Monday," he added.
Andrews, 31, expressed relief early Saturday that the FBI had a suspect in custody. The sideline reporter also pledged to help others who had experienced similar situations.
"For my part, I will make every effort to strengthen the laws on a State and Federal level to better protect victims of criminal stalking," she said.
Andrews was shown in the July videotapes walking around her Nashville, Tenn., and Milwaukee hotel rooms in the nude. The tapes were shot with a peephole camera sometime in 2008.
Andrews' lawyer Marshall Grossman said early Saturday Barrett worked to find out where Andrews was staying. Grossman also speculated Barrett "hacked off" the peepholes in the hotel doors, then inserted cameras to film Andrews.
Andrews, the up-and-coming ESPN star who has emerged as the top female talent on the network, appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show earlier this year to talk about the leaked tapes. She said on the show the experience "terrified" her -- and that it was hard to return to work after the films were released.
The reporter, who has worked for the sports network since 2004, will work Saturday evening's Auburn-Tennessee football game. She was twice named "Sexiest Sportscaster" by Playboy magazine in 2008 and 2009.
