The issue of substance abuse is one viewed from many sides as area authorities deal with the latest trends and local communities reach out to help those seeking treatment.
MOREHEAD CITY � The issue of substance abuse is one viewed from many sides as area authorities deal with the latest trends and local communities reach out to help those seeking treatment.
Jacksonville has counseling services, a methadone clinic and a crisis center available. However, there is no local inpatient treatment facility for those with substance abuse issues.
�We do a lot of recommendations to the Wilmington treatment centers and to some of the bigger places like Duke,� Erskine Hawkins Jr., admissions director for New Insights DWI Services and Counseling Center said. �We don�t have (inpatient treatment) here in Onslow County.�
Hawkins� center provides substance abuse assessments and outpatient counseling for those with substance abuse issues.
�We do outpatient therapy for anyone who is struggling with addiction,� he said. �We deal with a lot of behavioral therapy. We try to advise them and give them new insight and coping mechanisms to deal with the array of things that could be going on in their lives.�
The center serves Onslow, Duplin and Jones counties.
Tammy Hawkins, clinical director of New Insights, said it is important for those with substance abuse problems to seek help.
�A lot of people want to make changes,� she said. �They want something different than their old lives and old ways. In a treatment setting, the person can see that they are not the only one, and the group can be a support system for them also.�
Area resident Neal Myers gave his personal testimony of drug addiction during a recent panel discussion held by the Carteret County Substance Abuse Prevention Task Force. The task force is part of the Coastal Coalition for Substance Abuse Prevention serving Onslow, Carteret, Jones, Craven and Pamlico counties.
Myers, now 27, described a struggle with substance abuse that began with experimenting with alcohol and a variety of drugs beginning at age 14. After years of abuse and run- ins with the law, he said he hit rock bottom in September 2010 and went to the hospital.
After detox and counseling he entered a recovery program.
Alcohol and marijuana remain a problem but the issue of prescription drug abuse and diversion topped the discussion at the program held in Carteret County to help educate parents about substance abuse.
The accessibility of prescription medication as well as perception compound a growing problem of the abuse as well as misuse of the drugs, said the panel of community leaders said.
Prescription medications are found in most households and are sometimes shared by friends or family members, giving the perception to some that they aren�t addictive or are otherwise safe to use.
Dr. Kerry Willis said prescription medications should only be used by the person for whom they were prescribed and for the reason intended.
The abuse of medications can be dangerous and result in harmful interactions.
He encouraged youth or anyone else who knows someone misusing prescription drugs to tell someone and try to get them help.
�You are not helping them by helping them to cover it up,� he said.
Willis served as a panel member along with Myers, Carteret County Sheriff Asa Buck, District Attorney Scott Thomas for Judicial District 3B, and Kay Regnier, a licensed clinical addiction counselor.
Buck said the sheriff�s office and law enforcement officials see the problem every day.
The sheriff�s office was awarded a grant from the Governor�s Crime Commission for funding for an additional investigator to focus on efforts to combat prescription drug diversion.
He said approximately half of all the drug cases seen by the sheriff�s office involve the illegal possession and/or sale and delivery of prescription medication.
The problem includes individuals using the medications for the wrong reason, unintentional overdoses and the illegal sale of prescription medications on the street.
Thomas said cases of �doctor shopping� are a problem, with people going from doctor to doctor and providing false information in order to illegally obtain prescriptions for medications, which then end up being diverted to the illegal use or sale of the drug.
�They know what to say in order to get a prescription,� he said.
Accessibility can add to the problem, with prescription medications found around most households.
Willis said it�s important to keep medications in the home secured so they don�t end up in the wrong hands
�Put them in a cabinet and lock them up,� he said.
Buck also encourages keeping medications in a safe and secure place.
�We all have to be responsible,� he said.
Regnier, who also spoke as a parent of a child who had a problem with substance abuse, said individuals also have to be willing to get treatment and help themselves.
And those who need help are encouraged to seek treatment rather than try to fix the problem on their own.
Tammy Hawkins said that sometimes people who try to quit cold turkey by themselves could be at risk.
�If something happens, there is no one to assist,� she said. �For some people, it may work; and for some people, it could be a health risk.�
Those health risks can be related to withdrawal from different substances like heroin and other opiates. The Jacksonville Treatment Center, the only methadone clinic in Jacksonville, deals with opiate addiction.
For those who need immediate care or referral to get past their addiction, there is the Coastal Care Crisis Response Center at 215 Memorial Drive in Jacksonville.
�We provide addicts with their options for treatment after assessment, depending on their level of addiction,� Regional Director Debra Vuocolo said. �The assessment is a key piece.�
She said there are different levels of treatment for substance abuse.
�There are outpatient programs, substance abuse intensive outpatient programs, opiate programs like methadone maintenance and inpatient treatment facilities,� she explained. �It is up to the consumer at that point � we do the assessment and these are their options.�
The center also has a mobile crisis management team that will go to schools, magistrates and homes to help de-escalate a situation involving a person under the influence.
�Our goal (at the center or with the mobile team) is to take whatever time is necessary to stabilize the crisis,� she said.
Erskine Hawkins said there are a growing number of substance abuse providers, and that is a good thing because people need to seek professional help for substance abuse treatment.
�I think it is important because of lack of coping skills,� he said. �It is good to seek out some sort of help when you can�t do it on your own. Do it with some help. Don�t think it is a bad thing to seek help. When you can�t do something on your own, you need to seek out someone qualified.�
Myers said after the Carteret County program that he encourages parent to communicate with their children.
�Start talking to them early about the consequences,� he said. �Definitely talk to them about drugs and alcohol but also about responsibility.�

I didn't believe it until I actually heard it. There is an unusual mouse who literally howls at the Moon before killing its prey. Called the grasshopper mouse, it's a rare carnivorous mouse who eats bugs, scorpions, and even other mice. Apparently they also let out this piercing cry before moving for the slaughter.
Over at Laelaps, Brian Switek has a great article on these strange little mammals, whose evolutionary pathway is still contested.
Writes Switek:
Before crunching into its prey, the grasshopper mouse howls. The sound is a high, sustained whistle which pierces the desert night. It is as if the rodent is imitating a wolf at miniature scale – the grasshopper mouse even stands on its hind legs and throws its head back during the shrill call. And while the rodent may cry spontaneously or emit the sound as a warning when it spots another of its kind, the grasshopper mouse regularly howls just before a kill.
Even weirder is how the mouse has repurposed its decidedly non-predator-style teeth for the purposes of crunching on flesh and slurping blood. Find out more by reading Switek's post at Laelaps.


text: Care Team Introduction Iona College is committed to using its best efforts to provide faculty, administrators, staff and students with an environment that is as safe and as free from threats, intimidation and violence as possible. At times, threats to the safety and security of the campus environment may come from outside sources, such as acts of terrorism or from individuals who are not members of our community, but who nevertheless come to our campus with the intention of doing harm. Most often, however, concerns about safety involve members of our own community, who may pose a danger to themselves or to other individuals, or who may otherwise be exhibiting signs of distress. As a student, faculty member, administrator or staff member you may be unsure about what to do and whom to contact, when, and if, you do encounter a member of our community who is exhibiting signs of distress. In this brochure, you will be provided with information about how to proceed when you are concerned about a community member. Safety as a Community Responsibility Recognizing that safety promotion and violence prevention are the responsibility of all College constituencies, members of the Iona community are asked to: familiarize themselves with behaviors that constitute risk factors and warning signs for potential danger to self or others; familiarize themselves with reporting procedures; be assured that the purpose of all reporting is to protect both the potential victim and perpetrator from harm; and recognize that all information will be handled in a confidential manner that protects the privacy rights of both the reporter and of the person of concern, except when mandated reporting is required by law or by College policy. Behaviors That May Constitute Risk Factors and Warning Signs: making direct threats of violence to others; making direct threats of harm to self; exhibiting behavior that disrupts or impedes the conduct of usual and customary classroom and/or co-curricular activities; behavior that makes others feel threatened or unsafe, such as stalking or making threatening or belligerent comments; expressions of intent to harm self or others in e-mails, text messages, away messages, assignments, or in other writings; preoccupation with death, violence, and/or having access to firearms; difficulty containing anger or accepting limits; assaultive behavior; a diminished capacity to think logically or coherently or to "make sense;" significant and indiscriminate abuse of alcohol, illegal substances or over-the-counter supplements, diet pills or performance enhancers; exhibiting obvious signs of a severe eating disorder or of self-injurious behavior; a rapid and marked deterioration of an individual's appearance, performance, and/or general behavior; a history of prior violent behavior; and/or extreme social isolation and/or marked difficulty in getting along with peers. Responses to Behaviors of Concern: Always take direct threats of harm to self or others seriously. If you are unsure, please err on the side of caution. Please report behaviors of concern using the procedures discussed below. Concerns About a Non-Student If you are concerned about a member of the Iona community who is not a student, please contact the Director of Human Resources at (914) 633-2067 to report your concerns.

I am looking at starting agility with some of our dogs. Kris attended some formal classes on agility last year and we now want to do some work in the back yard and see which of our dogs may do well in agility before signing up for additional classes.
Soooooo, I'm real big on DIY and have been searching the internet for plans for agility equipment. I have found plans for some equipment (and we have bought some equipment), but need some help on finding plans for the following equipment:
Teter (this should be easy, but no sense reinventing the wheel)
A-Frame (found 1 plan, but looks clumsey; maybe has to be that way)
Panel jump
Dog walk
I have been on the AKC site and they have all the proper dimensions, etc., but I need some help finding plans. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Richard Grey went to college in Pittsburgh and was a Business and Marketing major in the 70s. He considers himself to be a product of the 70s. He has been in sales for his entire life, and it seems to be his calling. He started with Team Toyota in the mid 90s. He temporarily left to pursue a V.P. of Sales position in the health insurance industry. Ten years later, we were fortunate to welcome him back to Team Toyota.
Richard is a passionate Philadelphia sports fan and animal lover. He loves to cook and has taken formal French cooking lessons as a hobby. His main calling, however, seems to be finding the right car at the right price that satisfies the wants and needs of his customers. Richard has won many Toyota Sales Society awards.
Tom was born to Dolores and Thomas who were native Philadelphians. He and his wife Geri share four wonderful children and three grandchildren. Tom grew up in the Northeast-Mayfair section of Philadelphia where he had many happy and memorable experiences with friends. Tom spent 12 years in the catholic parochial school system followed by two years of college at Philadelphia Community College and Temple University. He enjoys leisure time with his family and friends, movies, golf, cookouts, horseshoes and vigorous bike rides.
At 22, Tom graduated from the Philadelphia Police Academy. For many years, he proudly served the streets of Philadelphia as a Patrol Officer and "Undercover Detective" until he was injured in pursuit of burglars.
Tom subsequently accepted a casino marketing position with the Harrah's Entertainment Company, but he wanted to pursue a dynamic career where he could both help as well as reward the community. Three years ago, Tom comprised the "Police and Fire Recognition Program," a business model that Paul Muller, the dealership's owner, embraced. This business plan provides exclusive vehicle prices for all active and retired Police Officers, Firefighters, Correctional Officers, Sheriffs, EMTs, Paramedics and their family members. Each time a vehicle is purchased in our program, Mr. Muller contributes $50 to either the Survivors Fund or Widows Fund. "I have found my niche, my home and will forever be grateful to the entire management team and staff at Team Toyota who enable me to grow this terrific program," says Tom.
Rich Rodgers has 40+ years of experience in consumer sales and service. He has spent the past three years in automotive sales.
Rich's sales philosophy is simple. He treats customers with the same manner and professionalism with which he would like to be treated. Rich will provide a wealth of product knowledge in assistance during the decision-making process. It is important to him that he's a resource for the customer throughout all phases of the car-buying experience; before, during and after the sale.
Rich chose to work at Team Toyota because he believes in a quality product and dealership that will put its customers first and foremost when it comes to service and the car-buying experience. He considers Team Toyota to excel in all of these important aspects.
Outside of work, Rich enjoys spending time with his family (especially his granddaughters). He also enjoys billiards and playing basketball.
Rich Magaziner has been a lifelong resident of southeastern Pennsylvania. He grew up in Philadelphia and has been living in Bucks County since 1979.
His background in the automotive industry began in the late 1970s as an owner/partner in a tire and automotive repair business. Rich's automotive sales experience began in 1996. He always keeps the concerns and issues of his repeat, referral and new customers in mind when a vehicle is purchased.
Rich is married with one son, one daughter and 5 grandchildren. This is where Rich spends all of his off-time from work.
Mike McAteer has lived in Bensalem, PA for the past 20 years. He is an active member of the St. Ephrem Church and enjoys vacations to the Jersey Shore.
Mike has been in automotive sales for 18 years. He believes in making sure his customers are "Completely Satisfied" before, during and after they take possession of their new vehicles. Mike has worked for Team Toyota for 13 years and continues to work at Team Toyota because the management team shares his belief in "Completely Satisfied."
"We continue to make sure our customers are happy during the entire time they have ownership of their vehicles. Unrivaled support from Toyota-Certified technicians working at the largest service center in the Tri-State area makes this a reality," explains Mike.
Anthony Hinds has been selling cars in the auto business for about 12 years. He was once a manager, but prefers sales because he works well with customers. Prior to the car business, Anthony was a branch manager for 17 years at a bank in New York City. Because of both a relocation from New York City and a passion for cars, Anthony now works in the car business. In his 12 years in the car business, he has helped many customers with their needs and has made families very excited and happy with their purchases.
Anthony is married with four children. His son James is an occupational therapist, his son Pierre is a chef in New York City, his son Andre works with the Federal Government in Florida, and his daughter Marsha is a recent graduate with degrees in criminal psychology and sociology. Anthony is an active member of the Block Association which won "Best City Block" in Pennsylvania in 2011. He loves cooking and bowling and actually appeared on a nationally televised bowling show. He also appeared in a couple TV interviews about the Toyota Prius Hybrid. As a result, he gained many customers.
Anthony works for Team Toyota because, "Team Toyota employees are very professional and have processes that work well. Also, we are a family away from our own families," he likes to say. Anthony knows that barring a situation out of his control, he has a permanent home at Team Toyota.
Carlos began his career in car sales in 1983. 30 years in the automotive industry has taught him many things about people and the evolution of the automobiles.
Selling cars has been a wonderful career choice and Carlos hopes to be here at Team Toyota for many years to come.

How Solar Works
Solar energy seems like a complicated technology, but it's actually quite simple. Below we explain the technology behind three different types of solar systems in a few easy steps.
Choose the solar system you want to learn about:
Solar Electric System
Solar Pool Heating System
Solar Hot Water System
How a Solar Electric System Works
Join thousands of Southern Californians in making the switch to solar energy by installing solar electric panels on your roof.
1) Sun Shines on the Solar Panels
Throughout the day (even when it's overcast or rainy), sunlight hits your solar panels and goes through a photovoltaic process converting it to DC electricity.
2) Inverter Changes Energy into Usable Electricity
From your solar panels, energy goes to the inverter (or micro-inverters) where it's changed from DC electricity into AC electricity that you can use.
3) Power Up with Solar Energy
Use solar energy to power your home or business. Have more than you need? Send it back to the utility grid and receive credits for the overproduction.
4) Save Money on Your Electric Bill
Sit back, relax and take advantage of the solar savings: saving money by lowering your electric bill and saving the environment by using clean, renewable energy.
How a Solar Pool Heating System Works
Nothing is worse than jumping into a cold swimming pool. With solar pool panels, you can heat your pool with solar energy to bring down your utility bills and extend your swimming season.
1) Pumping Water to the Solar Panels
During the daytime, cold water from your swimming pool is pumped to the panels on the roof by your pool pump (which is already installed).
2) Solar Energy Heats Up the Water
Water circulates through the solar pool panels where it is heated by sun. Then, it's returned to the swimming pool, which warms up the pool's temperature.
3) Get the Perfect Pool Temperature
This process continues until your desired temperature is reached (78° F to 85° F). Once your pool is warm enough, simply turn off the flow through the panels so that the pool doesn't get too hot.
4) Swim More without the High Cost
Now that you don't have to worry about the expense of heating your swimming pool with a gas or electric heater, you can swim more than before. In fact, most solar pools in Southern California are swimmable from April through October.
5) Solar Pool Heater in the Winter
From November to March (or whenever the outside temperature drops below 70° F), the degree to which your pool can be heated by solar will be reduced significantly. We recommend using a pool cover or blanket to trap in heat when the pool is not in use. You may also consider augmenting your pool heating with a traditional method during the winter months.
How a Solar Hot Water System Works
AMECO Solar has been installing solar hot water panels since the company was founded in 1974. Rely on this durable, cost-effective solar equipment to provide hot water for your home or business.
1) Moving Cold Water to the Solar Panels
When the solar collectors on the roof are warmer than the water tank, a pump is activated and moves the water up to your roof.
2) Heating Provided by Solar Energy
Water is heated by the sun while it's circulated through the rooftop solar collectors returns back to your water tank. Usually the solar-heated water is stored in a separate tank from your regular water heater (or tankless heater) so that whenever you use hot water, the fluid entering your conventional heater has already been heated. It's only during bad weather that you will need to use your regular water heater.
3) Use Solar-Heated Water and Save
Whether you are doing dishes, running a load of laundry or taking a shower, you can now use water heated by the sun and save money on your utility bills.
4) No Need to Fight for a Hot Shower
In sunny Southern California, a solar hot water system should provide 80% of your hot water needs. Adding a solar hot water tank means that those cold showers should be a thing of the past!

The University of Colorado Boulder's newest residence hall, Kittredge Central, is welcoming students this week for the first time, 53 of whom are engineering students and will be immersed in Spanish through the building's new Residential Academic Program, or RAP.
Also, the nearby Kittredge West residence hall is reopening this week after being unoccupied last school year while renovations were underway. Both buildings comprise a number of "green" features to improve water and energy efficiency and to reduce the campus's carbon footprint.
The RAP, "Global Engineering," is designed for students with interest in worldwide engineering systems, foreign languages, international collaborative design and international development.
"We were pleased to attract a number of incoming first-year students who had not found this type of opportunity anywhere else in the country," said Diane Sieber, faculty adviser of the Global Engineering RAP and associate dean for education in the College of Engineering and Applied Science. "While there are successful residence halls for engineers at other universities, the Global Engineering RAP -- offering cultural and linguistic immersive learning and a focus on global development -- is the first program of its kind."
CU-Boulder now has 14 RAPs including the Leadership RAP, which also is taking residence in the new Kittredge Central, and the Health Professions RAP, housed in Kittredge West. The RAP programs are designed to introduce students to faculty and to allow them to take selected courses and participate in educational and social events with students who have shared interests -- all within their residence hall.
Students in the new RAP will take an interactive seminar titled "The Meaning of IT," or "Informática Global," which will take place both in Spanish and English, and will be taught by Sieber.
The course examines personal and professional behaviors, interactions and information gathering in the digital age with regard to devices, social networks, online games, virtual worlds and global collaborative work. Issues to be explored include digital rights management, privacy, government regulation of information technology and the legal and personal implications of being public on the Web.
Also offered through the new RAP are "Intro to Engineering Projects -- Global Development" and "Spanish Conversation" courses.
"The curriculum prepares students to study or work abroad and to volunteer for international aid projects," said Sieber. "It also prepares them for sophisticated leveraging of emerging international communication and collaboration tools such as teleconferencing and document- and image-sharing via social network platforms."
Sieber, who says that large engineering consulting firms currently earn more than 50 percent of their income from international projects, also plans to invite residents each week to prepare meals together using recipes from Spanish-speaking countries. The students also will take a close look at the sustainable design of their residence hall, said Sieber.
Built to a high Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standard, the new Kittredge Central and the renovated Kittredge West buildings are on track to receive LEED Gold ratings.
Made up of a number of sustainability features that are integrated into all construction on the CU-Boulder campus, the buildings use 33 to 45 percent less energy than other buildings of similar size and function. Features include low-flow plumbing, efficient lighting, efficient heating and cooling systems, "green" insulation and windows, and power outlets in the student rooms that cut off electricity when plugged-in devices are not in use.
More than 25 percent of construction materials contain recycled content; more than 30 percent of the building materials were sourced or manufactured within a 500-mile radius; and more than 95 percent of all of the construction waste from the buildings was diverted from landfills.
Free filtered water bottle filling stations throughout the common areas of the buildings show how many plastic containers may have been diverted from landfills as users stock their own re-useable containers.

Heat transfer Labels or tagless labels are popular in the apparel industry because of the
ability to create a clean finished look onthe product.
Heat transfer labels for clothing are made by silk screening onto transfer paper or clear
myler in sheets or rolls. These type of tagless labels can be adhered to most natural and
synthetic materials but make sure when ordering you know the exact fabric they will be
placed on. By providing us with this information we can produce the transfers to hold up
better in washing. We can also give application instructions by knowing the material ahead
of time. Here are just a few products you can use heat transfers on: apparel, fabric, hats,
bags, wood and metal. There are no cut or folds needed.

1.Why choose heat transfer labels?
Some people worry about their customers cutting out labels with their branding on it. With heat transfers, your branding stays for dozens and dozens of washings and no one can rip it out! In addition, we have many customers using heat transfer labels to produce graphics and design on their clothing products.
2.Infant/Baby Clothes
If you are making baby clothes, especially for newborns, soft woven or printed labels could work very well and is often used. If you are really concerned about a label rubbing against an infant??s skin, then a heat transfer label is best.
If you really like the look of a woven label, you can put a heat transfer in the neck area and woven label on the outside trim.
3.Athletic Gear
For athletic gear or workout clothes, a woven label could potentially irritate someone's skin during a lot of activity. Heat transfer labels would eliminate this problem and are very popular with athletic gear manufacturing.
4.Have different sizes (S,M,L) to place on the labels?
The downside to ordering heat transfer labels is splitting the order up between different sizes. Since these labels are silk screened and a plate is set up for each design, each size would be considered a whole new order. If your artwork has different sizes, talk to a sales rep to see what kind of price is offered.
Another option is purchasing heat transfers with the logo and buying separate, small, stock size tabs to sew on a top seam.
5.Can you help me design my logo/artwork?
Yes.Free design.
6.How do I choose my color for adigital iron on heat transfer label?
We provide the pantone color.

Wesleyan Transforms into Wolves | News
The Wesleyan College athletics department has re-branded itself through the introduction of a new mascot, the Wesleyan College Wolves.
The decision to make the change from Pioneers to Wolves came as a response to student requests for a mascot that could have a visual presence at games and on campus. Wesleyan College will remain Pioneers for the school's many achievements in the advancement of women's education, but on the playing fields, it will now introduce its sports programs as the Wolves.
"Although Wesleyan always will be Pioneers at heart, we are excited about unveiling a new mascot for our athletic teams that will create a more tangible connection with students and fans," remarked Wesleyan College president Ruth Knox. "As our sports programs continue to grow and improve under the leadership of a solid core of coaches, each with considerable experience at the Division I level, we expect the Wesleyan Wolves to represent the competitive spirit, pride, and tenacity of our scholar-athletes."
In transitioning to the Wolves, Wesleyan will go through a gradual process of rolling out new uniforms, warm-ups, and other ancillary items that feature the new Wolves mascot. The athletics department has acquired a wolf mascot uniform and will now have a mascot presence that will bring added excitement and energy to Wesleyan games.
The campus is adorned with streetlight banners celebrating the new logo as well as new window banners for Porter Gym.
"Wesleyan College continues to be proud of our heritage as "Pioneers" in the education of women," stated Wesleyan's Athletics Director, Patty Gibbs. "Our student-athletes are also proud to be part of the NCAA and have been wanting a symbol to generate excitement and energize school spirit around athletics. Athletics contributes to student development at so many levels and having a mascot the entire student body can embrace and unite around will continue to create recognition for our athletics program and Wesleyan. The attributes of a wolf - courage, strength, loyalty, and success - are all characteristics of Wesleyan women, so this is a very appropriate and fitting mascot for us to adopt."
The energy surrounding the introduction of the Wolves mascot is just the latest excitement in what has been a great start for Wesleyan athletics this season. Highlights from the 2013-14 school year to date include:
Wesleyan's soccer team has increased its roster size to 25 athletes and currently has a record of 8-7.
Wesleyan soccer has had individuals recognized four out of eight weeks as the Great South Athletic Conference Player of the Week.
Freshman soccer player Leah McLeod set the single season record for goals scored with 12 thus far this year.
Wesleyan's soccer and volleyball teams are currently ranked 2nd in the Great South Athletic Conference.
Wesleyan volleyball earned its first ever Great South Athletic Conference Player of the Week honor.
Wesleyan volleyball earned two wins over Division II Fort Valley State University this season.

"It began when I heard Ryan Seacrest say that 'they' (meaning, I assume, he and his E! red carpet cohorts) had decided to call Quvenzhané Wallis, the 9-year-old dynamo nominated for her role in Beasts of the Southern Wild, 'Little Q' instead of her actual name.At the end of her piece, Clayton suggests that people beware of those who refuse to call people what they prefer to be called. For, "they mean you no good."
Here's a quick breakdown of the problems with this:
1. That isn't her name.
2. To my knowledge, neither Quvenzhané nor her family OK'd this nickname.
3. That nickname wasn't given to her out of love or adoration; it was given out of discomfort and a need to control what they deemed as 'other' in society.
Naming and names are important because they are entwined in our identities and the ownership of us and our bodies. We name things that belong to us. We name our children. We name our pets. We name our cars and our plants and our stuffed animals and even our hair. The act of naming and/or re-naming something is absolutely about power and control, and this is something that slave owners knew very well–a standard practice in 'seasoning' and 'breaking' a slave was assigning them Anglo-Saxon names. This established that those men and women were, without a doubt, property of their purchasers, and completely severed them from the identities they knew. Further, the names that were assigned to enslaved black men and women were often diminutive versions of common names–Billy instead of William; Donnie instead of Donald. These were verbal reminders that you were not a whole man or a whole woman, that you were not fully human. And when that wasn't enough, they were stripped of those names and called 'boy' or 'gal,' because acknowledging a person's self-approved name is to acknowledge the humanity in someone.
This is still the function of naming, and precisely why the insistence on not learning how to prounounce Quvenzhané's name is so problematic and outright offensive."
I agree.
Her entire aticle is great. By referencing the historical context of white people naming slaves as a means of control, power, and containment, she aptly builds the case for why a white guy making up his own nickname for a black girl is not cute or funny and is actually really problematic, regardless of his intent.
Generally, I think that refusing to do the simple act of calling people by their preferred labels and names is an uncivil power play, especially in certain contexts.
It seems similar, but not identical, to cisgender people mis-gendering trans* people, to heterosexuals calling gay people "homosexuals" even when gay people tell them that this term is out-dated and not appreciated, and, in the workplace, to bosses who bestow nicknames like "kiddo" on their employees without their consent.

Welcome to ipl2's weekly blog. This week our highlighted resources focus on current events in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). According to the CNN article listed below, "the United Nations has named the Democratic Republic of Congo the 'rape capital of the world,' with 15,000 women raped in eastern Congo last year." On 18 October, rape victims in the DRC took to the streets to protest the use of rape as a war tactic, to combat the social stigma attached to rape victims, and to tell the world what has been happening to them.

The Raleigh, N.C.-based Gold Certified provider of security and messaging software took another step along that path with the introduction of a more modular partner training program that's more tightly integrated with its lead generation tools.
The training modules come through a partnership with MediaDefined Inc., makers of the NetExam e-learning solutions.
Jim Semersky, director of channel sales at GFI, says the new NetExam tests will fit more easily into the schedules of GFI's partners. "Instead of doing a one-hour course, when hopefully you can answer the questions at the end, NetExam has got everything in short lessons followed by quizzes," Semersky says. "These little vignettes are anywhere from five to eight minutes in length."
In the past, Semersky says, "Partners had to download a big file, take the test and e-mail it back to us." The new system is also integrated with the Salesforce.com-based partner portal GFI uses to distribute leads to its partners.
For GFI, effective partner training is essential to its growth strategy. "In the Americas, we're taking half of our business that we've built over the last 14 years and giving that to partners," Semersky says. "One of the rules of engagement is that we require the partner to be knowledgeable and be certified before we give leads to them."
The GFI portfolio includes MailEssentials, FAXmaker, MailArchiver, MailSecurity, WebMonitor, LANguard Network Security Scanner, LANguard Security Event Log Monitor, EndPoint Security and Network Security Monitor.

This post will focus on the Kings and the NBA after summer league 2012 and probably up to or thru training camp.
First we have Sacramento Kings Offseason Moves & Analysis from the folks at Sheridan Hoops. as they do a good job of analyzing each team in the league quickly.
July 22nd:
Trade Rumors: These guys at Gather say that Jimmer Fredette may be traded to the Utah Jazz.
I would not be unhappy, depending on what comes back to the Kings, but I would be surprised. Other than his last game this summer, Fredette has not shown anything trade worthy.
The Kings however, have loaded up their back court, even adding Aaron Brooks these past few days and with another SF in the wings come training camp in Tony Mitchell it would be rough to trade guards without getting something in return and I'm not sure the Jazz have that "something". Brooks had Tweeted "Sacramento Kings" back on July 16th before jumping on a plane to come out to the State capitol.
"The backcourt squeeze is on. The Kings' roster included guards Marcus Thornton (6-4), Isaiah Thomas (5-9), Jimmer Fredette(6-2) and Francisco Garcia (6-7) even before coach Keith Smart revealed plans to move Tyreke Evans (6-6) from small forward to shooting guard."
Trading Fredette would not be a bad idea if the owners are willing to walk around with more egg on their faces for a series of bad moves in 2011…a series of bad moves.
July 23rd:
Mitchell is likely to be called in for the Kings training camp.
"Mitchell kind of separated himself a little bit," Smart said. "He has the right size as a small forward. Obviously, we have a ton of players at that position that he plays, but nevertheless he's not a guy you take off your radar because you see the size.
"A long athletic player that can be physical, and I like the way he attacks the rim."
Mitchell was undrafted after leaving Alabama after his junior season following a suspension for violating team rules. In looking for a summer-league team, Mitchell believed the Kings would be a good fit because of their uptempo style."
And the Kings extended Coach Keith Smart's contract an additional year, thru 2013/2014.
"The Kings could have waited a few months and made Keith Smartprove himself more before deciding he was their coach beyond the 2012-13 season.
But in Smart's first six months, Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie said he had seen enough.
The Kings announced Monday that Smart had agreed to a contract extension through the 2013-14 season.
"We had talked about it at length somewhat after the season, after the draft," Petrie said. "We just really moved forward on it in the last couple of weeks. It's something I'm really in favor of. He's the right coach at the right time for the group of players."
Hard to say, I would have let Smart coach at least half the coming season before pulling the plug but at least they didn't fire the guy.

So the Kings and the Maloofs "aren't talking" and the NBA "has no information"????
Does that make the rumor more true?
The Kings, the Maloofs moving to Virgina Beach and Comcast is footing the bill?
This after they let it be known that local mattress makers might be the new name for Arco Arena?
And Comcast would want to keep a good name and not piss off Sacramento fans and customers? All to move the Kings to Resort city? To a nice but small tourist town?
Most team owners in any sport don't want to locate in a tourist town unless it is the size and stature of say NYC or Miami or San Francisco or Las Vegas. But no one has ever accused the MaGoofs of being smart. Or of runnimg their team successfully.
Could be true we will know soon since the stor sas Comcast will unveil it all at the Virginia Beach City Council meeting next Tuesday (August 28th) and that the Maloofs will be at the meeting.. They are certainly going somewhere.
September 10th:
Well, no Virginia Beach. But a few new tidbits and rumors. Could it be the Kings without tupid rumors?
ESPN ranks the Kings 2nd to Last on their list of professional sports teams. So the have the worst (Toronto Maple Leafs) and then the Kings. Who is a hair better than the kings? Who is 3rd worst? eh, Charlotte Bobcats for sure.
I won't spend time on the Maloof's sister Adrienne and her divorce. You can Google the shit out of it if ou really want to. But apparentl the brothers think the scene will cost them money out of the family (mis)fortune. You know?
Want to buy a ROY Thomas Robinson jersey? I wouldn't mind, but I can't!! The Kings online store is closed. That's right C-L-O-S-E-D. The are blaming a failed company, not the failing basketball team.
The store has been down since June. The Kings say it will be up soon.

Last weekend I received a text from my sister asking about a quote on a cork. It said America's most award-winning winery. She was asking me if it was true. I responded with a 'probably is true, but likely doesn't mean anything'. Bold statement, I know. But let me explain…
You see, all wineries are looking for something to set them apart from the competition. This particular one has decided to stake their claim on being the winery with the most awards. Not bad, really. Likely it works very well for them. I don't know how I feel about their wine because I've never had any. And that is my whole issue with awards and points and ratings from critics.
Let's talk about awards. These usually come from some sort of fair or wine competition. Generally there is a panel of tasters that all decide (on their own) which wines get a bronze, silver and gold. Then those scores are averaged and awards are given. Some competitions even have double gold and some have best in class and most have sweepstakes winner or best overall winner in red and white classes.
So, let's say you submit your wines to a competition and you get a medal. What's it worth? Well, you could send an e-mail out to your list and hopefully drum up some business. But what is that medal really worth? Let's say a particular competition has 1000 wines that were submitted. And the judges award medals of some sort to 850 of those. Not uncommon by the way. Now what is that medal worth? Exactly.
Now, let's talk about critics and their ratings. Too many people rely on them for all of their wine purchases and need the points and ratings to have something to talk or boast about. You want to know where I would use ratings? Let's say I'm standing on the wine aisle looking for a particular wine and I have $30 in my pocket. I'm staring at two wines that are the same price (or close enough) and one has an 88 point rating and one has a 94. Pick the one with the higher points, right? More than likely, yes. This is where I see ratings come into play.
Medals and ratings have one thing in common: It's one person's thought on what the wine tasted like at that snapshot in time. If there's one thing I've learned about wine is that we all have different palates and tastes. How do I know that that person who decided this wine was worthy of a 95 point rating has the same tastes as me? I don't. Which is why these rating systems are so unreliable. Maybe I like Syrah from cooler climates, but the wine judge or critic likes them from warmer climates. If we were judging the same wine, we would come up with very different scores.
Maybe that award hanging around the bottle neck or the shelf talker below the bottle are the things that draw you to that particular wine. If that's the case, then I guess the critics and the wine judges have done their job. But I think there's more to it than that. I think the general wine consumer is too easily swayed about what wines are good by point ratings or even price (higher is better, right?). Sure, I've sold some wines that way in the past. But not anymore (and I haven't for a while). I've been selling wine based on my guests' tastes and what they enjoy. It's great because I sleep well at night knowing I'm not pushing wine based on some other person's palate.
You won't find me ever rating wines on this blog. I don't believe in point systems or ratings. What I do believe in is writing about wines that I enjoy. Will you enjoy all the same wines? Definitely not. And I wouldn't expect you to. But I hope to introduce you to some of my favorite wines over time. Maybe I'll turn you on to something you've never had or haven't heard of before. but that is entirely up to you. Know this though, if I don't like a wine you won't know about it here. I just won't write about it.
I also don't believe that we should fill our cellars with wines that other people say are good. And here's the real take-away from this blog: You should buy wines that you enjoy. Wow! Earth-shattering stuff, I know. Sure, you may need a little help deciding which wine to initially pick off the shelf, but then rely on your palate and trust in what you liked (and dis-liked). The only critic you need is the one holding your wine glass.

Emmaline Grey spends her days with her beloved dog, dreaming of the sea-until a brawling Highlander shatters her quiet life to pieces. Though her blindness prevents her from seeing his face, his voice is a warm blend of velvet and silk, and his rakehell ways unmistakable. Risking the wrath of a rival clan as she nurses him back to health, Emma soon realizes the real danger is the magnetic pull she feels to this half-naked Scot recovering in her bed.
A Reckless Rogue
With his rugged handsomeness and wicked charm, Malcolm Grant wants nothing more out of life than whisky, women, and the occasional war. The only lass he's ever trusted left him with more scars than a battlefield. Yet now at the mercy of this sweet stranger, Malcolm can barely resist the gentle hands that make him feverish with desire-until Emma, the one he will never have, is the only woman he wants . . .

He withdrew only enough to break their kiss and laughed softly against her lips. "Here, las," his sensual sorcerer's voice drifted deep into her soul. "Like this."
Slipping his hand behind her nape, he tilted her head to take him at a better angle. He snatched away her breath again, covering her mouth with his in an intoxicating combination of tenderness and strength. He parted her lips gently and slid his tongue inside her.
Her nipples grew tight and hard against the confines of her gown.
Just a flick across the darkest recesses of her mouth and then gone again, over and over, devouring her until she groaned as something hot and tight twisted her innards and between her legs.
But this was no time to cower at the power he possessed. She was no mouse and followed his lead, doing what he did, matching his ardor with an unleashed passion of her own.
When his kisses fell to her throat, she tossed back her head and growled… No, that wasn't her.
It was Gascon.
REVIEW: With this book, Highland Heirs series is now on the fourth installment and as the previous three, I loved it a lot, possibly making this one my favorite of the four and the reason for it was the heroine, Emma.
What a wonderful character she was!
She is one fierce and fiercely independent woman; an intelligent and capable healer and beautiful from within as much as out.
And then there's Malcolm! I loved the complexity of his character. This was not your run of the mill Highland hero. He was flawed; stubborn and arrogant, yet honorable. But what made him so endearing to me was his honesty with himself. Like I said, this is one very complicated man.
As for the chemistry between these two? It was off the charts!
If you're in the mood for a fast paced, well plotted and written Highland adventure with two very complex and entertaining protagonists, you need to read this story.

Wyoming National Guard Cites Progress in Contamination Cleanup In Cheyenne
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A project to clean up groundwater contamination in a residential area near the Wyoming Air National Guard Base in Cheyenne is making progress.
The Wyoming Tribune-Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/1bnSHUO ) state and federal officials told residents Thursday that well samples show lower concentrations of potentially dangerous chemicals than were detected last year.
Hazardous chemicals, including trichloroethylene, that have been used on the base during the past several decades have leaked into the groundwater in that part of north Cheyenne during the past several decades. But the contamination doesn't present a direct health hazard since the base and nearby homes are hooked into the city's water system.
Data collected in September show the amount of TCE detected in the groundwater at various sites has decreased 40 percent to 93 percent compared to 2012.

For quite some time, I was writing regularly for a website called FamilySearch TechTips. As you can see from the link, the site is still online, but nothing has been added to the site since last year, 2012. The content of the site, to some extent, had been rolled over to the more general FamilySearch.org Blog. The FamilySearch Blog enjoyed frontpage and direct, menu bar link status in the older version of the FamilySearch.org website, but with the makeover, the Blog has been relegated to a single link at the bottom of the startup page in between "About" and "Feedback." The Blog originally had links to content, including TechTips, but now the Blog is pretty simple and generic. Here is a screenshot of the posts through 15 May 2013:
In my Chrome browser, the menu items, including a link to TechTips and other resources is located at the bottom of the page. Here is a screenshot of the bottom of the page:
This menu may appear at the top of the page depending on your browser. The link to TechTips goes to the Archives of TechTips. Here is a screen shot:
I haven't heard anything about the future of this portion of the site and haven't been contacted about further contributions. There are several FamilySearch websites and portions of websites that seem to be in the same category.
