Diaz, Special Agent in charge of the Minneapolis Office ofthe FBI, announced today that Red Lake Tribal Police Officers allegedly shot and mortally wounded Louis W. Barrett, Jr., age 20. The incident occured during an attempt to serve a Tribal search warrant in the very early hours of October 25, 2006, at a residence located in the Circle Pines area ofthe Little Rock District on the reservation. Barrett was transported to North Country Regional Hospital in Bemidji where he died around 7 a.m. The Minneapolis FBI is conducting a full investigation ofthe shooting. Northern legislative candidate makes Red Lake a campaign issue by Tom Robertson Minnesota Public Radio A candidate for the District 2B House seat in northern Minnesota is turning the Red Lake Indian Reservation into a campaign issue. Republican Doug Lindgren says if he's elected, he'll work to stop state funding of reservation schools. And he claims the state of Minnesota, not the Red Lake tribe, should control the waters of Red Lake. Lindgren's claims have angered tribal leaders. His DFL opponent, incumbent Rep. Brita Sailer, says it's nothing more than divisive politics intended to distract voters. Bemidji, Minn. — House District 2B is a mix of forests and farm country. It includes the towns of Park Rapids, Blackduck and Bagley, and encompasses the Red Lake Indian Reservation to the north. Historically, the district has been solid DFL territory. But since 2000 it's flip-flopped between DFL and Republican control. Republican Doug Lindgren won the seat in 2002. He was narrowly defeated two years later by DFLer Brita Sailer. Now it's a rematch. Observers believe the seat is in play and could help determine which party controls the House. Doug Lindgren It's also drawing attention for a politically charged issue that's become a cornerstone of Lindgren's campaign. Lindgren says the state of Minnesota should not be funding education and social programs on the Red Lake reservation. During a recent debate on Lakeland Public Television, Lindgren said that should be a federal responsibility. "We are spending taxpayer RED LAKE to page 3 White Earth receives funding for new tribal administrative building WHITE EARTH, MINN. - The White Earth Reservation Tribal Council recently received news that funding for a new RTC Administrative building has been approved for a groundbreaking in May 2007. The $14.5 million building will feature two stories and 80,000 square feet, and it will be located west of the Biimaadiziiwiin Senior Apartments near White Earth Village. Non-taxable bonds through the Eaton Vance Agency in Boston will finance the project. Additionally, the tribe received Proclamation: National American Indian Heritage Month 2006 THE WHITE HOUSE During National American Indian Heritage Month, we honor the generations of American Indians and Alaska Natives who have added to the character of our Nation. This month is an opportunity to celebrate their many accomplishments and their rich ancestry and traditions. America is blessed by the character and strength of American Indians and Alaska Natives, and our citizens are grateful for the countless ways Native Americans have enriched our country and lifted the spirit of our Nation. We are especially grateful for the Native Americans who have served and continue to serve in our Nation's military. These brave individuals have risked their lives to protect our citizens, defend our democracy, and spread the blessings of liberty to people around the world. My Administration is working to ensure that American Indians and Alaska Natives have access to all the opportunities of this great land. My fiscal year 2007 budget proposes more than $12.7 billion forgovernmentprogramsforNative Americans. Education is vital to ensuring all citizens reach their full potential, and my budget includes funding to help Native-American schools succeed and meet the requirements ofthe No Child Left Behind Act. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is providing education for approximately 46,000 American- Indian and Alaska-Native children. To help keep Native Americans safe, I have also proposed to increase law enforcement personnel and improve law enforcement facilities in American-Indian communities. My Administration will continue to work on a government-to- government basis with tribal governments, honor the principles of tribal sovereignty and the right to self-determination, and help ensure America remains a land of promise for American Indians, Alaska Natives, and all our citizens. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2006 as National American Indian Heritage Month. I call upon all Americans to commemorate this month with appropriate programs and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence ofthe United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first. a $300,000 grant from the USDA for furniture, fixtures and equipment, and $400,000 from the White Earth Department of Transportation, which will build the road to the building site, and a parking lot equipped with security lighting. The tribe will pay back the bonds through rent paid by programs and some gaming revenues. "At White Earth the programs, services and government have grown tremendously, and we need a new facility to better provide and coordinate services for our members," said White Earth Chairwoman Erma J. Vizenor. "The financing for a new facility has been secured and there is excitement about the new tribal headquarters. A wind turbine will be constructed nearby to provide electrical energy for the facility." "The new building will provide constituents with one- stop shopping," according to Secretary-Treasurer Bud Heisler. Currently, several programs are located throughout the reservation and now tlie majority of programs will be located in one building.

The resolution was unanimously passed by the MIAC - a liaison to the State Legislature that represents the 11 federally recognized Indian tribes in Minnesota. The action by the MIAC to limit the right to peaceful assembly led to a swift response from members of local and national equal rights organizations identified as anti- Indian in the resolution. "The crux ofthe matter is we've got .a state sanctioned and state funded group that is apparently trying to limit free speech and free assembly," Clare Fitz, chairman of the Mille Lacs Equal Rights Foundation and Citizens Equal Rights Alliance, said. "This is the reason our organization exists." Both MERF and CERA claim to advocate equal rights, but the aim of these groups is viewed by detractors as an attack on rights that are afforded to Native Americans by the U.S. Constitution, according to Jackie Johnson, executive director of the National Council on Indian Affairs - a tribally funded organization that works to protect tribal sovereignty and interests. While Johnson stopped short of labeling the local and national groups anti-Indian, the challenge Johnson sees is that tribal sovereignty is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. "It's not even a matter that's up for discussion," Johnson said. "These rights have been upheld in the Supreme Court for hundreds of years." However, the waters of legal rights to tribal sovereignty are muddy, according to Fitz. There is no guarantee in the U.S. Constitution for tribal sovereignty, Fitz said. CERA's position is once Native Americans became citizens of the United States, tribal sovereignty should have ceased. Local impetus In September, CERA and MERF held three public forums across Mille Lacs County, at Wahkon City Hall, Milaca High School and Princeton Middle School. "While a surge in anti-Indian activities is a statewide issue, problems in the Mille Lacs area are the most pronounced," according to a press release that outlined the MIAC resolution. The press release calls attention to the three September forums held by MERF and.CERA in Mille Lacs County. Milaca Schools Superintendent Dr. Barbara Zakrajsek said she did field some concerns in connection with the decision to allow the MERF and CERA forums to take place on school property. Milaca Schools have an open policy, so, by law, the rental of space to any non-school group must be allowed, unless that group.has a track record of being disruptive or violent, Zakrajsek said. After researching the groups, Zakrajsek said she found nothing to indicate disruptions or violence MIAC to page 3 5 defendants make plea deals in Kickapoo case Associated Press WACO, Texas - Five of seven defendants accused in a federal criminal case of taking advantage of the Kickapoo American Indian tribe have accepted plea agreements to minor charges. The group had faced charges ranging from stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Kickapoo tribe's casino to laundering money and violating the civil rights of tribal members. Possible prison sentences had ranged up to 20 years. The so-called "Kickapoo Seven" were charged in a 25- count federal indictment in early 2005. Pleading guilty Tuesday were Raul Garza, a former tribal chairman; Isidro Garza Jr., a former tribal manager; Martha Garza, Isidro Garza's wife; Timoteo Garza, son of Isidro Garza and a former state representative; and Lee Martin, a former casino manager. Raul Garza was the only Kickapoo tribal member charged in the case. He is not related to the other indicted Garzas. The other defendants were employees or associates ofthe tribe. Charges against Joe Ruiz, a former tribal lawyer, were dismissed Monday. The one defendant still facing prosecution is Isidro Xavier Garza, who is charged with conspiracy to obstruct the Internal Revenue Service. In pleading guilty Tuesday, the five accepted charges that carry up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Defense lawyer Jason Davis said he believed the government "got PLEA to page 3 web page: www.press-on.net Native ,*»--i American Press We Support Equal Opportunity For All People A weekly publication.

Mona Smith's multimedia installation explores realities of Indian life in the city "City Indians" exhibit opens with reception at Ancient Traders Gallery on Friday, November 10 "City Indians," a mesmerizing multimedia installation that gives voice to past and current American Indian people of the Twin Cities ifiev.ro area, opens at Ancient Traders Gallery, 1113 East Franklin Avenue, Minneapolis, from 5-9 p.m. on Friday, November 10. The event is free, open to the public. The exhibit—surprising, gritty and engaging—probes the question, "What is it like to be in your homeland yet be disconnected?" Through multiple media, three realities are explored: the invisibility of Indian people, how little they are heard and mid- 20th century relocation policies. The installation was created by Mona Smith (Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota), recipient of the Community Artist Fellowship from the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian/2007 Native Arts Program. Smith's "Cloudy Waters: Dakota Reflections on the Water" (Minnesota History Center, 2004-2005), part of the Upper Midwest commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Grand Excursion of 1854, explored the complex connection between the Dakota people and the Mississippi River. A video producer/director and former college teacher, Smith currently heads Allies: media/art, which promotes learning from Indian people through media art. "City Indians" is an intentionally non-linear exhibit that parallels the non-linear worldview of indigenous people. Presented with choices—video and still images, recorded interviews, ambient surround sound of nature overlaid with city noise—the viewer moves among interwoven stories that create a rhythmic arc or "video poem." "You can't control what people are going to learn," said Smith. "In the traditional Indian way of teaching and sharing story, I offer possibility, an experience that EXHIBIT to page 3 ARTIST: MONA SMITH Embracing the paletteof the digital age, producer Mona Smith (Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota), uses multiple media to share the stories of Indian people. "I fell in love," Smith says of her first foray into multimedia installation. "Cloudy Waters: Dakota Reflections on the Water" (Minnesota History Center, 2004-2005) explored the complex connection between the Dakota people and the river. "With installation, the viewer makes choices. 'Shall I look at this? Listen to that?' In a calming atmosphere with surround sound, certain parts of the visitor's heart and mind open up. I tried to provide an experience that expresses a Dakota worldview. "I've been taught that you can't entirely control what people are going to learn. In the traditional Indian way of teaching and sharing story, installation art offers possibility, an experience that includes choice." An only child, Smith grew up in Red Wing, Minnesota, loving poetry and acting, she'says, "artful but afraid." ARTIST to page 3 Dike removal at century-old ranch site opens Nisqually estuary By Peggy Andersen Associated Press NISQUALLY, Wash. - The Nisqually Tribe has celebrated the return of saltwater to 140 acres of the Nisqually River estuary, where dike removal restored critical salmon habitat in south Puget Sound. The land had been used for a cattle ranch for more than a century. Tribal dancers and drummers in vibrant black-and-red blankets and other traditional garb opened the event Tuesday at the edge of the estuary, where the river meets the inland sea. As speakers addressed the crowd, a 14-foot tide began slowly filling the basin. Birds darted overhead and autumn-brilliant trees rustled along the shore. "It's coming to life right in front of our eyes," said Billy Frank Jr., Nisqually elder and head of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. About 200 people _ tribal members, politicians, activists and workers from various agencies _ huddled together in chilly sunshine to celebrate the return of the sea. The Blaget family, which had diked and worked the land since 1898, provided food for people, said David Troutt, the tribe's natural resource director. "Now we're turning it over to make food for fish." While Nisqually salmon runs adapted to changes in the landscape over the years, "the more of this stuff the better for fish," Troutt said. The restored estuary habitat will provide food for "everything in the south Sound. In addition to salmon, it will feed things that feed the fish." Still, the work "is not about one species or another _ it's about life," said U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., whose district encompasses the project. "This is huge," said state Ecology Director Jay Manning, a co-chairman ofthe Puget Sound Partnership charged by Gov. Chris Gregoire with restoring the troubled sound after 150 years of pollution and development. "I hope we can replicate it across Puget Sound." Manning described his two co- chairmen _ Billy Frank and Bill Ruckelshaus, first director ofthe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency _ as "living legends who live up to their billing." "There's no better example of how this partnership should work than right here," Ruckelshaus said. "Our sound is hollering for help right now," Frank said. "If we don't wake up to this it'll be too late." The 140-acre wetland was named Blaget Marsh to honor the family. Longtime rancher Kenny Blaget sold the family's 410-acre property to the tribe for $2.4 million in 1999. Most ofthe 840-acre estuary was diked in the early 20th century for DIKE to page 3 Casinos owned by tribes contribute more than $26 million to state Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. - Casinos in Arizona owned by Indian tribes, including the Tohono O'odham and the Pascua Yaquis, contributed more than $26.3 million to the state in the quarter that ended Sept. 30. The Arizona Department of Gaming reported Tuesday that the recent quarterly contribution represents a 15.4 percent jump this year from $22.8 million in the same period a year ago. The state's 22 American Indian casinos contributed $25.5 million to the state during the prior quarter, which ended on June 30. The fiscal year for accounting of gambling's contributions begins April 1. Since voter-approved Proposition 202 went into effect in 2003, the contributions by the state's 15 tribes with gambling have increased in each consecutive quarter. Under the tribal-state gambling compacts, tribes in Arizona send their contributions to the state every three months. Using a sliding scale, tribes pay 1 percent ofthe first $25 million in net winnings to the state, 3 percent of the next $50 million, 6 percent of the following $25 CASINOS to page 6

Recruitment efforts take place throughout the year. Gateway District Scouting units conduct a coordinated effort to enroll new members to join Scouting in the Spring. The Spring Recruitment effort focuses on recruiting boys that are K through 4th Grades, but is not limited to that.The Boy Scouts recruit 5th-11th grade young men and Venturing recruits 8th grade young men and women between ages 13-20.
These recruiting events are put on by Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops and Venturing Crews throughout the local community. Studies have shown that families/youth prefer to attend meetings at their school, and in their neighborhood. This will help ensure that every youth is invited to join Scouting.
Our main objective is to give multiple joining opportunities to ensure that every youth is invited to join Scouting and to fulfill our promise to new Scouts for a great Scouting program.
Visit Membership Central or take a look at some of the below helpful links!
Watch this video to learn how to organize a succesful Spring Recruitment Campaign in your Pack!
An important part of the Scouting program is getting outdoors! This is where you solidify the character that you have been teaching the youth. Simply said Scouting isn't Scouting...without the outing. With that being said, I wanted to shoot out a reminder that it is not too late to sign up for Summer Camp, and we have programs for every age level of Scouting! Sessions are rapidly filling up so sign up today.

Gateway's Twilight camp is the only camp in the Denver Area Council that offers swimming, and also included BB Guns, Archery, Scout Crafts, and much, much more. Please sign up your boys today. If you are interested in helping make the Gateway Twilight Camp the best in the council, please contact Wendy Edwardson or Heather Graf. We are looking for volunteers to help from age 14+.

LibriVox volunteers bring you 15 recordings of:
"Because I Could Not Stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
This was the weekly poetry project for May 12th to May 19th, 2013.
Despite Dickinson's prolific writing, fewer than a dozen of her poems were published during her lifetime. After her younger sister Lavinia discovered the collection of nearly eighteen hundred poems, Dickinson's first volume was published four years after her death. Until the 1955 publication of Dickinson's Complete Poems by Thomas H. Johnson, her poems were considerably edited and altered from their manuscript versions. Since 1890 Dickinson has remained continuously in print. (Summary by Wikipedia)

As you search for the right dentist to meet your needs in San Antonio, there are a number of things you may want to keep in mind. The first is that finding a reliable professional is key to your oral health. Remember that your teeth actually play a really valuable role in your overall health, and you need to know that anything you have done to your mouth will go smoothly. A good dentist, when seen regularly, can help assure you of that. Whether you end up needing an emergency procedure like a dental bridge repair or a simple cavity filling, if you have someone you can trust to turn to, you'll be in far better shape in the long run.
Wondering where to turn? Finding someone who can help can actually be accomplished in a couple of ways. First, as you search for the right dentist to meet your needs, look into each individual's credentials and training. You need to know how long they've been in business as well as how many times they've completed the procedure successfully. You may want to ask to talk to any previous client they've had. When you do speak to other patients, find out what procedures they had done, whether they experienced any complications, and whether or not they'd recommend that dentist to others.
While you're speaking to others, you may also want to talk to friends, family members, and coworkers. Find out who they'd recommend. Remember that those who have visited a bad practice will be more than willing to tell the story. They tend to spread like wildfire. Good recommendations can be tougher to find, but once you find a solid recommendation, you have the odds of success on your side.
As you look for the right dental practice, don't hesitate to take a solid look at the services they offer. In some cases, you may want to choose one who offers emergency services. After all, if an unfortunate accident occurs or a toothache crops up in the middle of the weekend, choosing a reliable practitioner who can treat you immediately may save you some time, pain, and hassle.
Don't hesitate to at least start your search for the right dentist online. From community websites that list dentists in your area to professional organizations that help you understand what certifications those professionals you're considering currently hold, there are lots of online tools that will help you select a dentist. Just make certain that you do some of your searching offline as well.
One other important point you may want to keep in mind is to check with your insurance company. Finding the right dentist does you little good if the insurance company isn't set up to work with that particular office, so a quick phone call or check of their website to make certain the dentist is listed on there is nothing short of an absolute must.
No matter what dental procedures you may need in the future, having the right dentist on speed dial is key to getting solid results.

I've just bought a 57 reg (feb 08) ex-demonstrator for 13,000 pounds, and it is fantastic. It is far better than the Renault Laguna I previously had.
I have just brought a Hyundai Sonata ………OK you can stop laughing now. I love reading about exotic high performance supercars, but in reality I can not justify spending that sort of money for my mode of transport.
My recent dilemma was what car would replace my 3 year old Mondeo diesel.
I travelled from showroom to showroom reviewing all my options, Ford, VW, Citroën etc. The first hurdle is to actually get a salesperson to leave the comfort of their chair, it appears selling cars is a dying art. I could write a book about all the silly time wasting games played leading up to 'cost to change'. Best option is to laugh, shake hands and walk out.
So I brought a new Sonata Diesel Automatic. Great price and specification, climate control, cruise control and leather trim all come as standard. There is a huge amount of interior space front and rear and a cavernous boot. The diesel engine with automatic gearbox is an excellent combination, giving 40+ mpg and effortless motorway cruising.
Being kind I would say the styling is conservative, but then you could say that about Audi or Lexus. I'm well pleased with my purchase.
i am a car dealer and have been for 40 odd years now dealing in everything 2k up to 10 k and it annoys me to read and hear of people ( eg jeremy clarkson ) who are not ''experts' but jounalists trying to be witty and clever slagging off cars like the sonata, i have owned 4 as personal cars now for the past 6 years they are superb cars well made etc etc WHO DRIVES LIKE THEY DO ON A RACE TRACK ?? BELIVE ME I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY DISSAPOINTED IN . sonatas have no class label as such but believe me what a cracking car to own and drive
I've just bought a Hyundai Sonata 2.4-litre automatic that was an ex-demonstrator model, and it has borne the brunt of the depreciation already. The interior is well equipped and luxurious, although the radio looks out of place and cheap in a car like this, and I miss the steering wheel-mounted stereo controls.
The boot is vast, and the inclusion of a full size alloy spare is much better than a space-saver. The car has had a few comments from my friends who thought it resembled an Audi or a Lexus, whilst I enjoy driving a car which isn't a common sight on the roads.
Overall, I think the car is competant and comfortable, but I would recommend buyers shop around for a nearly-new example, since there are only a few colours and one trim level. The ideal car might be out there, and it saves on the otherwise high depreciation. My 05 plate demonstrator model, which would have cost over £17,000 in June, was onsale at £13,000 when I bought it in December.
Order a brochure, find your nearest dealer or book a test drive
Just completed 100k miles in my company Mondeo which I've had for just over two years and am still delighted with it. No rattles, no squeaks and never…
Bought car 2009 at 40k miles on clock. Since then I've had to replace both rear electronic brake calipers, to be fair this is probably wear and tear…

When you receive a new follower on Facebook, you're being allowed into someone's social space. You have, in essence, been invited to the party. How you behave will dictate whether you are invited back next time, which in Facebook currency means whether your followers will stay followers, and whether they will interact with you and share your content with others.
Just like no one wants to invite "That Guy" to the party, no one wants to interact with "That Company" on Facebook.
Marketing on social media – and on Facebook in particular – sits more in the realm of public relations, truth be told. You're there to get to know people, and to let people know the personal side of your business. There are tons of personalities out there to choose from when creating your company's Facebook persona, but we'd recommend you steer clear of these . . .
It's called social media marketing, right? Well, this guy is definitely here to market . . . exactly the way he has always marketed before.
We all know how to recognize this particular That Guy at the party. He can't seem to talk about anything but himself. He doesn't want to carry on real conversations, and he's convinced that nothing anyone else has to say could possibly be interesting, so he keeps talking about the one topic he does find interesting: himself.
If every link on your Facebook page is self-promotional, you're That Guy. Facebook isn't about shoving your message down people's throats. They already like your company or they wouldn't have followed your page in the first place. Instead, it's about building relationships and having conversations, so treat it like a conversation. Don't be that jerk who talks about nothing but himself. Nobody likes that guy.
The Loud Drunk
The ability to interact with your customers through Facebook is as dangerous as it is powerful. We were recently treated to a view of the downside of these interactions thanks to a business that appeared on Gordon Ramsay's show Kitchen Nightmares.
Of course, telling you to keep your cool and avoid going ALL CAPS on your customers is kind of a no-brainer, but the loud drunk commits another social faux pas: he talks at people rather than to them.
The Facebook equivalent here is posts with no context. Title of article > link to article > done. Let's wait for the likes to roll in!
. . . Except they don't, because you didn't walk up to people and start a conversation. You shoved a newspaper in their face, bellowed the headlines at them, and then walked away.
The Socially Awkward Facebooker
What this version of That Guy lacks in knowledge, he makes up for in enthusiasm, with cringe-inducing results. He pastes a url in the status window, sees Facebook use that information to create an attractive visual link, and it never occurs to him to delete the url. Sometimes he even uses a service to shorten the url that doesn't have to be there in the first place.
He also likes his own status updates. Every. Single. One.
Listen, I'm all for socially awkward dorks. I've even been known to be one on occasion, myself. That still doesn't make it a valid marketing strategy. Enthusiasm is wonderful so long as it's tempered with a willingness to slow down, pay attention and learn something. So look around at the companies and entertainers you follow on Facebook. If the page is popular and successful, chances are you won't be seeing a lot of urls in statuses, nor will that company like its own posts.
Just be a human
It really is as simple as all that. On Facebook, you're relating to human beings as human beings. Social media isn't advertising, and it's not direct mail. In the often-impersonal world of the internet, Facebook is the most human interaction available to marketers. So just . . . be a human.

Never Blend In: The Legacy of Harvey Milk
by David Watters
Never Blend In: The Legacy of Harvey Milk is a unique collection of inspirational interviews with well known and everyday people who represent the great diversity within the LGBT Community.
The research, supported by PFLAG and The Trevor Project, FFLAG (UK), The Gay Police Association (GPA) and Schools OUT (UK), tackles the issue of teenage suicide and the disenfranchisement often felt by LGBT youth.
Role models from education, entertainment, law enforcement, medical and emergency services, politics, religion and sports have participated in this accessible and much needed discourse to illuminate the reader's journey of self-discovery and self- efficacy.
Some of those included in the book are Alan Cumming, John Amaechi, Calpernia Addams, Stephen Fry, Darren Hayes, Parvez Sharma, Harvey Milk colleagues Anne Kronenberg & Danny Nicoletta and a foreword by his nephew Stuart Milk.
Openly LGBT and successful role model figures can play an enormous part in highlighting the wealth of possibilities available to young people. These people, who are successfully modelling admirable qualities and character traits such as determination, diligence, vision and consistent effort, can only serve to inspire and encourage the younger generation, or anyone questioning their validity, to lead a balanced, fulfilling and dignified life.
Each chapter is prefaced with sound advice and guidance on how self-worth determines potential.
Life need not be a self-fulfilling prophecy and by recognising that our "truth" has been shaped through our relationships, our environment and our experiences, we can begin to change our perceptions, heighten our self-esteem and move toward our personal and professional goals with clear vision and purpose.
For young people coming to terms with their sexuality it's really important that they have positive, high achieving role models as a way of boosting their self esteem and confidence. This kind of book shares the experience of a very diverse group of LGBT people. Individual and collective experience offers the inspiration and motivation for LGBT people to do something worthwhile with their lives and live their dream.
Peter Tatchell
There are two ways you can approach not fitting in. If you get to see it as a blessing, feeling like an Outsider can eventually give you the freedom and license to create your own world, follow your own goals, make your own reality. I've always thought it must be a lot harder for those who effortlessly belong – how much stronger the temptation to just blend in and be a non-questioning sheep! Yes, there is pain. Feelings of rejection, confusion, self-doubt. But think of those negatives in a positive light: you have the chance to acquire resilience, fortitude, understanding and the realisation but you have one life to live, so you absolutely have the right to live it your way!
It's no shame to get help and inspiration from others, which is why David Watters 'Never Blend In' is so timely.
Trisha Goddard
"I love your work which is vital to show the richness of embracing and celebrating our wonderful diversity. As Harvey would say, you're bringing medicine into the world that the world needs! Thank You!"
Role models are described as those individuals who we 'aspire to' and who provide strong and achievable targets that we can emulate in pursuit of our career or personal aims. This book breaks down the common stereotypes of gay people and unveils a more realistic perspective, chronicling the success of many gay role models that others aspire to.
In "Never Blend In" David Watters has brought together a number of role models in one publication featuring successful gay artists, scientists and entrepreneurs, who share their experiences and take you on their journey. These are men and women with whom you can relate, whose stories will inspire and motivate you and leave you ready to move forward, both personally and professionally.
Be inspired by the successful members of the gay community; real men and women. Read about the challenges they faced along the way, what helped to keep them going, and what it takes to make a small business, a life, a success.
This book illustrates the breadth and creativity of gays everywhere. It is a pioneering work and the success stories of inspirational gay role models from a wide variety of backgrounds should be made available in every library, every school. These are men and women you can aspire to but who have all shown just what it takes to become a role model – determination, courage and an unwavering desire to succeed.
"Never Blend In" brings you some amazing candidates all of whom have succeeded in very different ways. They each have inspiring stories to tell about their achievements and future ambitions, yet I noticed they all had one thing in common they were passionate about what they did.
So in reality gays are still struggling for acceptance and to reach the top of the ladder. However, I think for the gay who enters the celebrity arena or who decides to do his/her own thing - they no longer have to do it at the expense of their happiness- they can do things on their own terms. For many it will provide them with the work/ life balance that wasn't available for them in the past. It's vital we have gays in big business and we need more gays to be there. I think companies need to realise they can't operate without gays. But they do need to provide the very thing we all tend to take for granted – the basic right of being given the same opportunities and earning power as str8 men. We are mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, lovers, friends. We are like you.
Anthony Spiteri, BS, MSc, PhD (Psychology)
The book NEVER BLEND IN is a provocative look into the lives of successful people who live in a world where the odds are stacked against us. It is important to give hope to the younger generation with diverse sexual orientations to see that we can be happy, healthy, and successful players in this game we call life. I hope by telling my story in this book, I can, in some small way, make life easier for those who march to the beat of a different drum. I am a rebel with a cause…you can either march with me, or step out of my way.
I am excited to order several copies of your book and share them with friends and family as gifts. I may try to use it with one of my classes that I teach at my college on the psychology of diversity.
DR JOHN R. SHAFER, Director of the Counseling Center and Professor at Franklin College of Indiana, President, Shafer Consulting Services
"Never Blend In," is so absolutely crucial to our very survival. For when we first discovered our difference, we believed we were alone. This is why statistically, gay teen suicide attempts are four times that of heterosexual youth, and for every completed suicide by a gay youth, there are between 100-200 attempts that are made by other gay teens. Astoundingly, one-third of ALL teenagers who commit suicide do so because they are gay. In America, we have had as many as 11 teenagers a day commit suicide due to their sexual orientation! "Never Blend In" provides a guiding light for all LGBT people (in fact, for all non-LGBT people as well) because it demonstrates that not only are you not alone, but that you too can rise to attain your most desired dreams. There is nothing and no one that can hold you back. Harvey Milk paved the way for us all to be able to be ourselves and to simultaneously provide a role model for others. Whether you are the parent, uncle, or cousin of a gay child, or friend of a gay adult, the stories presented here give a unique insight into the relationships we cherish. You do not need to be gay to be inspired by the lives of these amazing heroes, whose stories are told, often for the first and only time, in "Never Blend In."
This book is crucially important because we need to continually shed light on the struggles and adversity facing the LGBT community. We can never become complacent in our fight for equal rights and we need to remember the trailblazers who ignited the spark for the flame of progress that burns today. As role models following in the legacy of others like Harvey Milk, we need to stand as proud confident people and continue to broaden the path of acceptance for those that follow us.

Review: Girl in a Blue Dress, by Gaynor Arnold; and a giveaway
The thinly-disguised story of Catherine Dickens, wife of the famous author, is at the heart of this unpretentious, unassuming novel.
The celebrated author Alfred Gibson has died, leaving England in mourning. His estranged wife, Dorothy (or "Dodo") sits at home as the funeral and reading of the will take place. As she sits, she looks back on her twenty-year-plus marriage to "the One and Only," and "The Great Original." An invitation to visit Queen Victoria, as well to her sister Sissy and the actress Wilhelmina Rickets, leads to another series of reflections on her marriage.
It's a quiet novel, simple yet complicated in many ways. There's not much action, certainly not in the present day, but there's a certain gentleness of language that makes this book compellingly readable. Dodo, despite her shy, retiring ways, is a likeable heroine, strong in the ways a "typical" Victorian woman wasn't supposed to be. In addition, I enjoyed the way the characters interacted with one another: Dodo's daughter Kitty, the son-in-law who is obsessed with money; but most of all, Alfred Gibson himself: control freak, obsessed with keeping poverty at bay (even when he was in his most successful period), and eagerness to change the truth when it suits him. I get the feeling that Gibson isn't supposed to be likeable, but he's charismatic enough that the people around him tend to overlook his flaws. The only one who realizes who Gibson really was is, ironically, Dodo.
To the modern reader, the Victorian era is a strange place—all those customs regarding mourning, for example, are simply mind-boggling. Dorothy's world is one that's strictly defined by traditions and conventions, and Dodo's story is that of a woman who isn't afraid to bend the rules a bit. In all, an excellent novel, worthy of having been longlisted for the Booker Prize. To be published in the US in December.
I'll be giving away a second copy of this book that I received from Amazon UK by accident; leave a comment with your e-mail by next Wednesday (Oct. 1) to enter to win it!

The New Orleans Hornets announced Friday that forward/center Jason Smith will miss the rest of the season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
He will have surgery next week.
In 51 games, Smith averaged 8.2 points and 3.6 rebounds per game and shot 49 percent.
Also, forward Anthony Davis is out Friday against the Detroit Pistons with a shoulder sprain. He is considered day to day.
