For those individuals who become casualties of
substance misuse and are in police custody, these guidelines offer
a humane response, with provision for care and treatment. They are
flexible tools designed to accommodate changes in the nature and
extent of substance misuse in the community, as well as changes in
national policy and strategy, together with new developments in the
care and management of substance-dependent individuals.
Accurate assessment of the degree and severity
of dependence, and of the need for medical intervention is
essential, because both intoxication and withdrawal can put
detainees at risk of medical, psychiatric and even legal
complications. Many such detainees have not received the treatment
and care in custody that they need because it is particularly
difficult to undertake a proper assessment and initiate an
appropriate response in the environment in which they are seen.
However, a detained substance-dependent person who is at risk of
complications is entitled to the same quality of healthcare as they
would receive in other locations.
Since the third edition there have been a
number of initiatives and developments in services for substance
misusers and in the criminal justice system in support of treatment
and prevention. There has been a greater presence and contribution
by other healthcare professionals working closely with doctors.
This fourth edition has responded to these developments.
The guidelines will be of immense value to all
practitioners in helping and supporting detainees, and to the staff
of law enforcement agencies who are involved in the care of
detainees with substance misuse problems, and will also be useful
for teaching purposes for medical and nursing staff and arrest
referral officers.

Pouch Packaging Energizes Retail Purchases for Consumers
Pouches continue to be the 'it' package for food processors and a growing number of beverage companies.
Stand-up pouches have a lot going for them. In addition to the basics, like product protection and shipping economies (vs. bottles and cans), they can be designed with features that make product use and storage more convenient. And flexible materials work well with design-forward graphic treatments.
So it's little wonder that products like Campbell's Skillet Sauces, Lundberg rice and Bob & Stacy's ultra-premium vodka are launching in, or switching to, this multitasking packaging format.
Getting saucy in Camden
Campbell Soup Co., Camden, N.J., chose a custom-designed pouch for Campbell's Skillet Sauces, which launched in August 2012. Like Campbell's Go Soup, which launched at the same time, Skillet Sauces are packaged in a retortable stand-up pouch with a transparent bottom gusset.
The pouched soups and sauces "were created for a specific consumer — the Millennial generation, more or less — and the package reflects that," says Mary Gregg, director of packaging at Campbell North America. She adds that the company chose the package both because it would perform well for the products, and because pouches are "something Millennials are very familiar with. It's a package they really love."
Campbell's Skillet Sauces were created to help consumers cook restaurant-quality meals at home: The consumer simply browns a pound of meat in a skillet and adds the sauce. The resulting dish, served over rice or pasta, makes a fast, easy meal. Because the 9-oz. pouches are designed for one use, they are not resealable.
Graphics on the sauce pouches use a combination of matte and high-gloss printing. The result is visual and tactile contrast between the matte chalkboard-like background and the glossy photo of the finished dish. The pouches are printed via rotogravure.
"The reason we chose rotogravure is we wanted this to be a very high-quality offering, and we wanted to focus on the end dish," Gregg says. The idea was to "let people know exactly what dish they would be preparing for the meal," which is why only the vignette of the dish is given the high-gloss treatment.
Campbell's Skillet Sauces come in six flavors: Marsala with Mushrooms & Garlic, Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Red Bell Peppers & Chiles, Scampi with White Wine & Garlic, Creamy Chipotle with Roasted Corn & Black Beans, Toasted Sesame with Garlic & Ginger and, rounding out the selection, Thai Green Curry with Lemongrass & Basil.
The front and back panels of the pouch are made from a multilayer, foil-based, flexible material with excellent barrier properties and high stiffness that makes for strong presence on-shelf. As Gregg points out, for both practical purposes and aesthetics, "You can't beat foil."
To give consumers a view of the product, the pouch's bottom gusset is made from a clear, multilayer film. "We know that people like to see the product, and we wanted [them] to see the garnish level" and high-quality ingredients in the sauces, Gregg says. The gusset's carefully rounded shape allows the pouch to stand easily on-shelf and when the consumer is using the product.
Ampac, Cincinnati, supplies Campbell with the pre-made sauce pouches. The package won a silver award for packaging excellence in the 2013 Flexible Packaging Association's Flexible Packaging Achievement (FPA) Awards competition.
Going forward, Campbell plans to introduce a new product line to complement the skillet sauces. The company recently announced that Campbell's Slow Cooker Sauces will launch later this year in several flavors, including Sweet Korean BBQ. The Slow Cooker Sauces, like the skillet offerings, will be packaged in pouches.
Resealable rice pouch
The stand-up pouch that Lundberg Family Farms, Richvale, Calif., introduced for its organic and eco-farmed rice products last fall represents a major packaging change for the 76-year-old company.
For its 1-lb. and 2-lb. packages, and a 4-lb. club-store pack, Lundberg switched from pillow packs to a flat-bottom pouch. The new package, which features an innovative resealing feature, is part of a rebranding effort at Lundberg.
As part of the package development process, the company conducted extensive consumer research. Lundberg learned, among other things, that the old pillow pack's lack of resealability was an issue for consumers.
After opening the pillow pack, some consumers would pour the rice into another container for storage or place the opened pack into a zippered storage bag. Others would "figure out some way to wrap the bag around itself and … stuff it back into the cupboard," with the product often leaking out of the bag, says Todd Kluger, Lundberg's vice president of marketing.
Further research revealed that the zippers commonly used on flexible food packaging posed their own problems. Some older consumers had trouble lining up the parts of a zipper so it would close; younger consumers had the manual dexterity to line up the pieces but didn't necessarily want to take time to close the zipper. In either case, the result was the same. The pouch went back into the cupboard, unsealed.
To solve the problem, Lundberg chose a resealable feature that works differently from zippers. It's the Press-Lok closure system from Velcro Industries, Manchester, N.H. Unlike traditional Velcro hook-and-loop fasteners, the Press-Lok hook-to-hook closure has two sticky sides.

Full-Time and Part-Time MBA Programs Now Accept GRE
This post was written by our friends at carlsonschool.umn.edu
Provides prospective students greater options when determining their career plans.
The Carlson School of Management is now accepting the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), in addition to the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), for admission to its Full-Time and Part-Time MBA programs.
"The GRE is accepted at thousands of master's and doctoral programs worldwide," says Professor Art Hill, associate dean for MBA Programs. "Accepting the GRE will open the Carlson School to an even more diverse population and give prospective students greater options when determining their career plans."
The GRE is offered at approximately 700 locations worldwide in more than 60 countries - figures higher than those of the GMAT. The GRE revised general test measures verbal, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills that are needed for success in graduate and business schools.
Candidates applying to the Full-Time MBA program who wish to be considered for a scholarship award will still be required to submit a GMAT score. Full admission requirements for the Carlson School MBA Programs can be found on its website.

I guess I don't understand the outrage. His unguarded honesty is kind of refreshing, really. And you gotta admit, he's pretty spot on in those comments.ReplyDelete
When you lead people you need to encourage them publicly and build confidence. He is not a fan he is an owner. Different issue.ReplyDelete
If he feels that way it's fine. He just makes his players look like losers and saying he has a "shitty" team does not support their efforts to fill seats.
Not saying anything he said is right or wrong. It's just not his place as owner to do that to his people.,

Betsy Maryott looks out her classroom window overlooking the courtyard at Glenwood Community High School and she doesn't see a green space.
At least, not a true green space.
So Maryott, a science teacher at the high school, decided to do something about it. For years she's bandied about the idea of better utilizing the courtyard at the high school.
Her idea?
To enrich educational opportunities and foster educational excellence.
Those two objectives are among the core principles behind the recently-created Glenwood Community School Foundation, according to Craig Patzer, a member of both the foundation's board of directors and the Glenwood Board of Education.
"It's a great endeavor and a neat opportunity for people that want to give back to the community and help enrich education and opportunities for kids to become more successful," Patzer said.
MALVERN - The second time turned out to be the charm for the East Mills Community School District's Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL).
Four months after rejecting a similar referendum, East Mills School District voters have approved a PPEL levy increase of $1.34 per $1,000 of taxable valuation for a 10-year period in the district. The measure passed with 54 percent of the votes saying "yes" to the increase in the Feb. 3 special election.
Stan Winquist came to Glenwood to teach in 1979.
For more than three decades, he's taught ag education and then industrial arts. His work with in the classroom brought him a nomination from the Iowa Department of Education for Teacher of the Year in 2014.
Shirley Lundgren has spent more than 30 years dealing in education finances, including the last eight in Glenwood, as a school board secretary.
During that time she attended hundreds of board meetings, jotting down notes and clarifying school financial protocols. But at last Monday's Glenwood Community School District Board of Directors meeting, Lundgren did something she's never done.
She sat in the audience and watched.
Despite being 30 days behind schedule, construction of the Glenwood Community High School auxiliary gym is still projected to be completed in time for the start of the 2015-16 school year.
Heavy rain this fall during early stages of construction attributed to some of that delay, Glenwood Superintendent Devin Embray said. Further soil compaction on the gym site, which sits on the back side of the high school, was also needed before footings could be poured causing further delays.
Mr. Hutch.
Mr. Hutchinson.
Principal Hutch.
Whatever students and staff prefer to call new Glenwood Community High School Principal Richard "Hutch" Hutchinson, they can all agree he has been a visible presence since taking over the high school's top spot over the summer.
The way Dave Clark sees it, there's no reason to do a lot of tinkering with an instrumental music program that's enjoyed decades of success.
"I'd like to maintain the tradition this program has built over the years," the new director of instrumental music at Glenwood Community High School said. "The reputation of Glenwood's band program is known across the state."
Glenwood Community High School has contracted with Jennie Edmundson Physical Therapy to provide a full-time athletic trainer for all sports at the high school.
Jennie Edmundson, a division of Methodist Health System, has been providing full-time athletic trainers to Council Bluffs' four high schools for nearly 20 years. But this is the first time the program has extended outside Council Bluffs. Glenwood is the first non-Council Bluffs high school to be offered the full-time service.
More than a dozen class reunion celebrations are expected to take place this weekend during the annual Glenwood Homecoming celebration.
The reunions, Friday afternoon parade, Friday night football game and Saturday night coronation are among the highlights of the community-wide celebration that will bring hundreds of visitors to Glenwood.
Glenwood Band Parents are coordinating the 2014 Homecoming Parade Friday at 1:30 p.m. The parade theme is "Video Games."

2013 British & Irish Lions
Does Warren Gatland get the Lions?
John Taylor
February 15, 2013
Lions boss Warren Gatland has attempted to play down his apparent concerns about selecting a lot of English players © Getty Images
I just cannot understand where Warren Gatland was coming from when he voiced his fears about the legacy of England's World Cup debacle affecting the Lions tour.
He was quickly into damage limitation, insisting that it would not affect his selection thinking, but it is slightly worrying that he felt the need to go public at all. The England team's behaviour in New Zealand was extraordinary, more in keeping with an Old Boys team on an Easter tour back in the 60s than a group of professional players competing in the most important tournament in the world.
It was hard to comprehend at the time and still beggars belief. There is still no other explanation except a complete failure of management and it will certainly never happen again.
What worries me more about Gatland's remarks is that they show he does not fully understand the Lions' ethic. There was a time when rifts within the party upset the unity of the team but the lessons were learnt and everything was sorted even before I made my first tour (as a player) in 1968.
The 1966 tour to Australia and New Zealand was a real watershed and highlighted a number of issues that Gatland still needs to get right nearly 50 years later.
The first huge mistake in 1966 was making Mike Campbell-Lamerton captain. Wales had won the Championship and provided the bulk of the Test team but Alan Pask, their hugely respected and experienced captain, was not considered the right man. It led to a collective Welsh sulk during the tour that undermined everything even though Campbell-Lamerton, to his credit, dropped himself when he felt he was not up to the task in the Tests.
Lessons one and two - pick a captain who is sure of his Test place and go for the obvious. That is why all speculation before the start of the Six Nations is a waste of time. Going into this campaign Sam Warburton was a 'shoe-in' according to some - now he will be lucky to make the touring party.
With England the only team unbeaten after two rounds of the Six Nations - a very rare occurrence in itself - Chris Robshaw has to be the favourite at this stage but he still needs to prove he is going to command a Test place. Fortunately, Gatland has an ace up his sleeve this year. Occasionally, you have a player who commands so much respect you can forget the rules and Brian O'Driscoll is one of them.
Although times have changed and there is a massive coaching and back-up team the captaincy is still an important catalyst to the success of the team - think Martin Johnson in 1997.
One of the immediate legacies from 1966 was that measures were taken to prevent the formation of national cliques. In 1968 we changed room-mates every week and I never roomed with another Welshman. In 1971, Mervyn Davies and I, who had roomed together for three years with Wales, were allowed to share for the final four days of the tour but, again, you changed room-mates as you changed towns and it helped enormously with bonding into a team.
Gatland seemed to be inferring that the Lions would take on the identity of the nation providing most players and he did not want that to be the case if it were England. That should be the least of his worries.
Perhaps it is difficult for a coach who has never experienced it as a player to understand but you really do lose your national allegiance and take on a new 'Lions' identity as soon as you get together.
In 1997 Ian McGeechan went to town on this, hiring a professional team building company to oversee the first few days of bonding at their hotel in Surrey. It was fascinating to see sceptics like Jerry Guscott gradually buying in to it and nobody can doubt it worked.
Back in the dark ages there were no such luxuries but being together over a period - in our case more than three months - nearly always increased the respect for players from the other nations and resulted in lifelong friendships.
The other vital lesson is to go into the tour with an open mind as to your Test selection. There are usually a few surprises. Few would have given David Duckham a chance of forcing his way into the Test side in 1971 ahead of the barnstorming, John Bevan. He did it by sheer brilliance and determination and so impressed the Welsh boys, we have called him Dai ever since.
So, no need to worry Warren. One of the most rewarding things since the game has gone professional is how much being a Lion still means to the players and they all understand they are part of a completely new international team even if you don't.
The tone of the tour, the discipline and the ethic is down to you and Andy Irvine and the England shambles might even help your cause. From all the quotes over the last few days those involved are thoroughly ashamed of what went on.

... For proof, see the message boards of pretty much any paper. Or just wade in the nearest cesspool. The experiences are equivalent.
For every person who offers some trenchant observation on the point at hand, there are a dozen who are so far off point they couldn't find their way back with a compass and road map. For every person who brings up some telling fact, there are a dozen whose "facts" are fantasies freshly made up to suit the exigencies of arguments they otherwise cannot win.
Why have message boards failed to live up to the noble expectations? The answer, in a word, is anonymity. The fact that on a message board -- unlike in a letter to the editor -- no one is required to identify themselves, no one is required to "own" what they've said, has inspired many to vent their most reptilian thoughts.
Enough. Make them leave their names. Stop giving people a way to throw rocks and hide their hands. Any drop-off in the quantity of message board postings will surely be made up in the quality thereof.
That's my opinion. If you don't like it, well, at least you know whom to blame.

Practical Tips for Productive Living
Writing the perfect love letter can be quite a challenge. After all, love is an emotion, and it can be extremely difficult to accurately transcribe your emotions into a meaningful set of words. It's easy to spell out the phrase "I love you", but those words are relatively hollow without a little contextual substantiation.

There was a great king named Dasharatha. King Dasharatha was an expert archer, and his teacher, Bhargava, was pleased with his student. There was, however, one particular skill that Bhargava didn't impart to his student. It was a special type of archery in which it is not necessary to even see the prey. By just-hearing the sound of the animal, no matter where it is, the archer can shoot it. Bhargava did not want to give this secret knowledge to Dasharatha because he was from the warrior caste. Although people from the warrior caste are spirited, courageous and determined, they have one weakness: they lack a disciplined life and sometimes fall victim to restlessness. Therefore, Bhargava was unwilling to give Dasharatha this special skill.
But Dasharatha begged and begged his teacher. Repeatedly he declared, "I won't misuse it, I promise you."
Finally, Bhargava acceded to the king's entreaty. "All right," he said, "I will teach you. But I'm afraid one day you'll bring serious calamity to yourself, to the members of your family and to some innocent victims through your improper use of this knowledge." So reluctantly Bhargava taught the secret skill to Dasharatha.
Dasharatha was delighted and proud, for he knew that he had now mastered all the strategies of archery.
A few years passed and Dasharatha didn't even consider using the special skill that he had been taught. But one day, a strong desire entered into his mind. He thought, "Let me go into the forest and test the skill Bhargava has given me. Then I'll know whether I actually have learned how to kill animals without seeing them."
So Dasharatha went into the forest. When evening came, a sound reached his cars, which he was sure was an elephant trumpeting. Dasharatha immediately pulled back his bow and let the arrow fly. Then lo and behold, a human sound came to him in the night: "Mother, Mother, I am hurt."
Dasharatha followed the sound to its source and found a young boy, about nine years old, bleeding heavily from the wound the arrow had inflicted in his chest. He had come to fetch water from a pond. 14 body was doubled over in pain, but he was still clutching the water pail in his tiny hand. The little boy's father, a great sage, was blind. His mother loved her only child dearly. Because his parents were old the son helped them in many ways, even at this early age. This particular evening his parents had been thirsty, so he had come to draw water from a pond near their cottage. As he was approaching the pond, the arrow came flying towards his heart and struck him down.
When Dasharatha came and saw the scene, he was terrified at what he had done. He cried out piteously, "O, Guru Bhargava, you were right! I was not meant for this sacred knowledge."
The little boy turned his eyes to Dasharatha and said to him, "I am dying. Please do not feel sorry for me. I know that we must all die someday. But do me a favor, please? Will you take this pail of water to my parents? They are thirsty and expect me at home. Please, please do me this small favor. Don't worry about me. This is my fate, but please go and give water to my parents." Then the little boy, who said his name was Sindhu, turned his face to Heaven and died.
Dasharatha burst into tears. With one hand he took up the dead body of the little boy and with the other he carried the pail, full to the brim. Slowly, and with a heavy heart, he made his way to the cottage of Sindhu's parents.
When Sindhu's father heard the sound of footsteps he said, "Sindhu, Sindhu, my Sindhu, you have come! We've been waiting for you. What makes you so late, my child? Both your mother and I are pinched with thirst, and you have come to quench it. You're our dearest child, our only darling. Please, try always to be prompt. Don't waste time on errands that take you away from us. We need you every moment."
Dasharatha could remain silent no longer. He said, "Oh sage, I'm the wretched Dasharatha. Forgive me, forgive me. Your child, Sindhu, is no more. I've brought him home. But, alas, he's without life. Although I'm the king, I'm entirely at your mercy. Do what you want with my life."
The father and mother could not believe their ears. As soon as the mother saw her son lying dead in Dasharatha's arms, she fainted and immediately her husband followed her. In an hour's time, when they had both recovered, they said to Dasharatha, "King, please do us the kindness of building a pyre right away. This is our last request: as soon as the pyre is lit, we wish to join our son on it. When the fire is blazing, we'll place our son on it, and then we shall enter the climbing flames."
In great distress, the king said, "No, no! You can't do that! I am already responsible for one death! I can't bear two more. Please forgive me, and I'll do anything in my power to console you, but this thing I can't do."
With one voice the parents answered him. "No, king, we can't stay. We won't be dissuaded from joining our son. He was dearer to us than life itself. Without him our
lives are meaningless. Let us join him."
"Then," Dasharatha said, "what will be my punishment?"
"No punishment," the mother replied. "Why should we blame you? This is our fate. We forgive you. Our son forgave you and so do we."
Her husband, the sage, said, "Wait! Our son has forgiven him, and you may forgive him, but I can't. Although I have practiced yoga and other austerities all my life, I can't forgive him.
"Dasharatha, you are responsible, totally responsible, for our son's death and I curse you. You too, will one day lose your son the way I have lost mine. You'll be obliged to send him into the forest because of your foolish fondness for one of your wives and, as a result, you'll lose him."
At the time of these events, Dasharatha didn't have a son. But when he heard the curse he cried out, "O God, don't give me a son. I don't need one. It is better not to have a son and not to miss him than to send one into the forest. But I cannot conceive how this could take place. How could it happen? Why would it happen? Who among my wives would be so cruel as to compel me to send my son into the forest? impossible, impossible! Yet the curse of the sage might come true. O God, I beg You, either give me a son who will escape this curse or give me no son at all. For to lose a son and enjoy the kingdom would be impossible. O Lord Supreme, forgive me, forgive my misdeed. Let this curse remain unfulfilled, I pray."
But, alas, how can the curse of a great sage pass unfulfilled? There came a time when Dasharatha was indeed compelled by his second wife to send his son, who was dearer than the dearest, into the forest. When his son was gone, it was simply impossible for Dasharatha to bear the shock of his son's exile and, lamenting the loss, he died.

A few weeks ago, I spoke upon invitation to Germanna Community College in Fredericksburg, Virginia and had an amazing time. Beforehand, I worked very hard to write a brand new talk about William Blake and The Poet and the Flea, and created a fun slideshow to go with it. So I was very pleased that the students seemed to really enjoy my presentation. I also had a little time to check out historic Fredericksburg, which was great. 🙂 I would love to do this again next year!

What kind of organisation would create a Google Map mash-up identifying the location of every Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine military installation in the US? A map moreover that allows users to zoom in on any military base and examine a detailed satellite image whilst at the same time providing information on the types of planes and squadrons based there.
Well the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), that's who. SeeAndAvoid.org, according to the U.S. Defense Department, "offers a centralized, credible website for civilian pilots and military safety officers. The site offers reciprocal information and education on airspace, visual identification, aircraft performance and mutual hazards to safe flight, with the ultimate goal of eliminating mid-air collisions and reducing close calls."
When the Pentagon forced Google to remove 'street view' imagery of US military bases last year who knew it was because they wanted to map every military base for the world themselves?

Gema Pardo consoles her daughter Amanda as they sit near a bonfire with relatives
Photographer Susana Vera documented the demolition of a long-standing gypsy community in Spain over the course of several months. Fifty-four families have been living in Puerta de Hierro, on the banks of the Manzanares river, north of Madrid, for over 50 years. The settlers are registered with the local government and have access to public services, but since the summer of 2010 have been subject to evictions under orders from Madrid's town planning board, on the grounds that the dwellings are illegal. Some of the eldest members of the community, the ones that had been living at Puerta de Hierro longest, have been relocated to social rent flats in the city, but often their children and grandchildren have been denied the same right, leaving them homeless. The relatives whose houses are still standing take them in while the debris keeps piling up around them as more demolitions take place.Picture: REUTERS/Susana Vera

So let me ask you a question, Strawman. If they had gone from a Christian oath to one that allowed either-or, would you argue that they should make everyone recite the 'or'? Because that's what your argument boils down to.
You've worded that in a strange way but I assume you mean, "Should the oath be secular?"
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
Quote from: Strawman on November 22, 2013, 06:10:07 PMYou've worded that in a strange way but I assume you mean, "Should the oath be secular?"No, that is not what I meant.My question was, if they had gone from a Christian-only oath to one that allowed you to choose whether you wanted to recite it or a secular version, would you then argue or demand that only the secular one should be permitted?

The headlines of the Savannah Morning News on March 28 sent me over the edge: A beautiful toddler mauled to death by family's seven pit bulls.
My heart breaks for every member of this family. The loss of a child is the greatest tragedy a person can experience. A senseless loss is unimaginable.
I am confident, if the family of this toddler could go back in time, they would not trade one second of their precious daughter's life for any amount of companionship or enjoyment their family pets provided.
No one wakes up in the morning thinking a tragedy is going to strike them or their loved ones, yet we take precautions every day to ensure our own safety, as well as our loved ones.
When your dogs outweigh children in your home and neighborhood, and have jaw strength that cannot be defended against, you have brought potential tragedy into your home and neighborhood.
Dogs are animals and as such are unpredictable.
This little girl played with these family pets until something unpredictable happened. Everyone can justify their actions and defend their choices of pets, until an event like this.
I am an avid animal lover and value the benefits of pets in the home.
With that said, I plead with all pet owners to consider for one moment that your own pet could be responsible for such an attack. We have a responsibility to the people in our homes and neighborhoods. Please don't be the next dog owner to have an unimaginable tragedy in your life.
When a change of heart is a good thing
It's interesting how Sen. Rob Portman is taking it from the left and the right for his change of stance on gay marriage.
Both Leonard Pitts and Christine Flowers use the same argument to chasten him for his change of heart, despite their disagreement on what the right decision was.
Ideologies are like pre-fabricated molds that are overlaid onto reality to help make sense of the world.
Although they might bear a superficial resemblance to reality, they are too simplistic to describe or hold its shifting complexities and constant flux.
Over time, the disparities will widen and become more apparent. The only defense is to dig in and practice denial.
Ms. Flowers states, "…the fact that your son is gay should not shatter your belief that the institution of marriage, limited to one man and one woman, is a foundation of our society even if your son will not be able to enjoy it."
Why not?
At one time it was the foundation of our society that black people and white people should not marry, women were too emotional to vote and African-Americans were inferior and keeping them in slavery was for their own good.
The ideological evil of homosexuality dissolves in the face of a son who in your eyes is good, kind ... and gay.
It gives way to the ideal of fairness, which is a foundation of our society.
Over the course of our history, the ideal of fairness has expanded to include women, blacks, immigrants, people with disabilities, and now is stretching its boundaries to include gays.
It's happening with the head and the heart. And that's a good thing.
Let's have a conclave in the U.S. Capitol
There is something keenly wrong with a system that elects a president for four years, and the day after the inauguration, the opposing party starts spending millions working on the next election. I am outraged that the only thing that seems to concern both parties is politics.
The word "representative," as it applies to elected officials, means to represent the best interests of the people.
Currently, the NoLabel party has made some headway. These are representatives who do actually put the people before their respective political party.
The polls make it clear that the people of this country are fed up with the stagnation of the government due to political name-calling and finger-pointing. I have watched senators and representatives on the talk shows consistently evade pointed questions by very smoothly changing the subject.
It is impossible to believe that these representatives are actually in tune with their constituents. I think NoLabel has the right idea.
Our political system is far better than almost any in the world, when it works the way it was designed to work. But the way it is working now, dictated and mired down by politics, it does not work at ail.
One CNN reporter, during the deliberations of the cardinal conclave in Rome, made an offhanded remark that perhaps the way to get a budget is to hold up all salaries and expenses to members of Congress until they reach a settlement agreement.
Lock them in the Capitol until they reach a final budget both sides can live with.
Personally, I think that is an excellent idea.

Press release
Assemblyman John Ceretto has received the endorsement of the New York State United Teachers in his bid for re-election to the State Assembly. Earlier this year, NYSUT, a grassroots group representing more than 1,200 local teachers unions, praised Ceretto as a "hero" who voted to "defend educators across the state."
"It is nice to be recognized for the work I have been doing on behalf of the residents in my district and to receive special praise for helping to enhance the quality of education in New York state," Ceretto said. "As a former educator, I am extremely proud of the work I have been doing to strengthen our state's education system, and I look forward to working with Governor Cuomo and my colleagues to provide New York students with a world-class education for years to come."
"I have known for a long time that Assemblyman John Ceretto supported teachers and middle-class workers," said Carmine Bianco, a Niagara Falls School District teacher. "It is great to know the teachers union supports my assemblyman."
In addition to the New York State United Teachers, Ceretto has been endorsed by State Sen. George Maziarz, the state Professional Firefighters Association, Laborers Local 91, the Niagara County Republican Committee, 2010 gubernatorial nominee Carl Paladino and Town of Lewiston Councilman Al Bax.
The newly formed 145th Assembly District is made up of the towns of Cambria, Lewiston, Niagara, Wheatfield, the City of Niagara Falls and a portion of the City of North Tonawanda in Niagara County, and the Town of Grand Island in Erie County.

2011 Manufacturing Trends Survey: One Percent Better
Pick an analysis: Either last year's responses were overly optimistic, or 2010 was better than expected or 2011 begins with very cautious optimism.
Last year, when we asked managers involved in plant and company operations for their expectations of 2010, they predicted a post-recession rebound, and we reported that the proverbial glass was half full. This year, they're just as optimistic about 2011 – no less, thankfully, but no more either.
When asked the perennial question, "How do you feel going into 2011?" 66 percent of respondents reported being "optimistic" and only 7 percent said they were "pessimistic." These numbers match last year's sentiments to a fraction of a percent (results are rounded to whole numbers in this report) -- although, if you want to split hairs, this year's optimists increased by 0.2 percent.
Similarly, when asked if you think your plant's production and throughput will increase in the new year, there was a 1 percentage point increase in the 3-9 percent increase bracket. With the other two "increase" brackets staying the same (see Fig. 6), that was enough to raise all "increase" numbers by the same 1 percentage point, to 69 percent expecting more production this year.
If you expected a full economic recovery in 2010 and a glorious boom in industry-wide production, you're likely to be displeased with the continued if modest gains made in the past year. But if perception is the precursor to reality, the coming year will bring cautious optimism.
This is Food Processing's 10th annual Manufacturing Trends Survey. Invitations went out in late November for the web-based survey. We had 425 total responses, up from 388 last year.
Safety first – always
Asked to rank a list of issues according to their priorities for the coming year, processors always have and likely always will put food safety first.
This year, processors gave this issue a score of 8.4 (weighing first-place votes as 10 points and last-place votes as 1), exactly the same score as last year. And while it's probably insignificant, 57 percent of voters ranked it first, down slightly from last year's 60 percent.
Cost control took second place with a 7.9 score; 29 percent of respondents cited it as their top priority. This item did not appear in last year's survey. This affected the statistics a bit as respondents "made room" in their list of priorities for the coming year. But not that much; the following items garnered an above-average priority ranking this year as well as last: Sourcing and materials (6.3 this year vs. 6.5 last year), Inspections/certifications (6.3 this year vs. 6.2 last year), labor (6.1 this year vs. 6.5 last year) and Energy issues (6.0 this year, vs. 6.4 last year).
In addition to that slight downward movement in energy issues, environmental concerns also lost a bit of ground in the rankings, slipping half a point to a score of 5.6.
"Water issues" was another new addition to our prefabricated Top 10 list – but apparently not a good one. It came in ninth, with a score of just 4.6, barely ahead of "consolidation challenges" with a 4.4.
Growth, year after year
How are food companies dealing with the economy? When given measurable choices to describe their company's outlook, the largest share of respondents – 44 percent – said, "We're growing," a notable increase over last year's 37 percent – which itself was significantly higher than the 27 percent who expected growth in 2009. All the negative answers (see Fig. 3) were down significantly from last year's report, especially "staff reductions" – this year, 22 percent still think that could happen, but 34 percent thought it was likely last year at this time.
Given the opportunity to provide open-ended answers, cost-cutting figured prominently, as it did last year. One processor explains how his company is "trying to look for cost saving measures in production processes, and trying to source cheaper raw materials so more consumers can be able to afford products." Related comments cited the need to increase yield and efficiency and to lower insurance costs, while others mentioned constraints on labor, capital projects and credit availability.
Labor, salaries looking up
This year's outlook for human resources seems to be healthy, as respondents revealed expectations for continued good news.
Staffing was another category that showed a 1 percentage point improvement. Last year, 48 percent of respondents said their plants would maintain staffing levels, 25 percent said staffing would increase and only 17 percent – despite the bad economy – foresaw staff reductions, mostly through attrition. This year's expectations are similar; 49 percent expect to maintain the current level; 26 percent plan to grow their workforce and only 13 percent expect staff reductions, less than four percent of which will come from "active" reductions vs. passive attrition.
On the issue of salaries, things are looking up. We ask two questions in our survey: What actually happened to salaries in 2010? And what do you expect will happen in 2011? Last year, 35 percent of respondents expected salaries to rise at their plants, and this year we found that salaries actually did increase for a larger share: 45 percent. (Another 45 percent of plants maintained salary levels from 2009 to 2010, 6 percentage points higher than expected.) A rare miscalculation in your expectations last year: About 3 percent expected salaries to decline at their plants, while a year later, double that number reported an actual decrease. Ouch.

Presto...kids turn back time
They were poised. They were professional. They were historical figures.
Sixty-five students from the three fifth grade classes at Cedar Hill Elementary School posed as some of the most famous Revolutionary War and figures characters from colonial times in a "wax" museum at the school Friday afternoon.
While expanding their Internet skills and independent study methods, students got the chance to act as past presidents, political figures, even military heroes, at the educational exhibit.
With the push of an orange "button" located on the outside of their hands, they divulged interesting facts about "themselves."
But, they expressed their excitement for the assignment exclusively to the press and spoke of the historical figures with enthusiasm and confidence.
"I was excited because playing a male was something different," said Rachael Ferentinos, who was Nathanael Greene for the day. "Learning all the stuff about Nathanael and all the other characters and sharing the information with everyone else was the best part. Peter Stuyvesant lost his leg in a battle and had to be fitted for a peg leg and James Madison had a college named after him."
Michael Ryan, 10, who posed as William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, agreed. He called the project a "great experience."
"It's fun and a good way to learn and help other people learn about it, too," said Michael. "It's a good experience to dress up like this and do a historical project."
Allie Lewis, 10, enjoyed performing as Nathan Hale. She was thrilled to tell visitors, which included parents and family members of students, facts about Hale, including the fact that he was the first spy for Americans, but was caught and hanged.
"He gave Americans courage," Allie said in an interview. "It's interesting to talk about what happened so long ago. This project was such a joy."
John Paul Jones, played by Alexxa Rivera, 10, was eager to learn about the Scottish sailor.
"He fought so many battles and never gave up," she said.
As part of a project for their social studies class, students pulled names from a hat and were responsible for researching their assigned figure in the school library and on their own time outside of school.
Some historical figures were more well known than others and students didn't know much about them initially. But, they quickly became experts of their chance selections.
"The most interesting thing I learned about him was that he got shot at the battle of Brandywine," said Abigail Langevin, 10, who played Marquis Lafayette, a French aristocrat and military officer. "I think it's fun because I got to learn about a lot of historical people. It made me learn more."
Michael Murphy, 10, selected Peter Stuyvesant.
"I had no idea who he was," said Michael. "Then, I learned that he was the governor of New Netherlands."
Brett Locicero, 10, and Olivia Cardi, 10, posed as the second and third presidents of the United States, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, respectively. They each recognized the uniqueness of the project.
"I liked that I learned independently," said Brett, while Olivia said, "You can express it on your board instead of reading it in a book."
One of the fifth grader teachers, Deb Lapoint, helped establish the curriculum for the project more than six years ago. These days, her fellow teachers, Jessica Kenney and Jennifer Zarrella, enjoy guiding students through the assignment.
"It's an experience of getting up in front of an audience and presenting, as well as becoming very knowledgeable about a particular person who lived during the American Revolution," said Zarrella.
Lapoint agreed. She feels the assignment is more fun for students in comparison to most other lessons.
"They really engage with the characters and learn about the person," she said. "When they practiced with one another they were definitely teaching one another and they feel like they are teaching their parents, too. They like being an expert on that one person. When they engage like this they remember it forever."

Creative Loafing covers the Dorkbot meeting
creative loafing article
Putting the "bot" in dorkbot that evening was presenter Keith Rowell. Rowell screened video clips of robots, including robots walking, robots running, robots fighting one another, robots shooting flames, a stylish robo-rhino, and much to the amusement of the audience, a robot kicking a wastebasket down a set of steps. When finished, he fired up his own creation, a biped robot named Knewt. It looked like a robo-dinosaur.

The University of Western Ontario last month undertook its third rebranding initiative since its inception as an institution.
The university was founded in 1878 as an academic branch of the Church of England, initially named the Western University of London Ontario. Early in the 20th century, the university secularized, and in 1923, was renamed the University of Western Ontario.
Fast forward to the present day. In January, it was rebranded as Western University Canada, "for communication, marketing and web purposes," the university says on its website. I now enjoy occasionally referring to as WU (pronounced "woo"). Its new name is a modification of its original name in an attempt to become more globalized, although its official name remains the University of Western Ontario, and it "will appear as such on diplomas and official documents."
There were two major motives behind the rebranding project.
First, Western president Amit Chamka intends to transform the university into a more progressively international institution. Since his appointment as president in 2009, the number of international students at Western has substantially increased. Chamka hopes that, as a result of the rebranding project, the international student community will continue to expand because the institution will be more easily recognized on a global scale.
Second, "establishing a more unified visual identity for Western," its communications webpage asserts, was necessary to eliminate its former identity confusion. Previously, very few people would refer to the institution by its legal name. Rather, the vast majority, in everyday discourse, would call it simply Western. Thus, it became natural to combine Western's identity with its usual street name.
Western's new rebranding reminds me of the campaign launched last year by LAPAM, the Israeli government's official advertising unit, in conjunction with Bodden Partners, a New York-based marketing communications agency, to promote Israel's tourism industry.
Focusing on this unique industry is a clever action plan that hopes to reverse prejudiced and preconceived notions of Israel and divert attention from political conflict.
Just as Western rebranded in order to attract a larger international student population, Israel has benefited from an initiative in Canada to promote increased tourism on a national scale.
For its 2011 national ad campaign, LAPAM distributed newly designed displays across Canada, particularly in Montreal and Toronto airports, in Toronto's Airport Express Bus and in some TTC bus shelters.
The displays market numerous Israeli destinations including the Sea of Galilee, the Ramon Crater, the Church of the Beatitudes, Masada, the Dead Sea and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. By exhibiting landmarks that interest Jews and non-Jews alike, Israel hopes to attract a diverse array of individuals to explore the country's fascinating antiquities.
As a result of the 2011 campaign, Israel experienced a 15 to 20 per cent increase in tourism from Canadian passport holders, making LAPAM's efforts a worthwhile initiative.
Despite the reasons behind Western's rebranding, the university received unexpected criticism following the announcement. Alumni were left bewildered, with questions about how to refer to the institution they graduated from. Current students are also having difficulty abandoning the name they are accustomed to.
I feel, however, that it's a constructive step. Today, it appears that organizations and institutions want their identities to simply and clearly reflect who they are. The advantage of a straightforward brand is that names and symbols become distinguishable and easily recognized by the public. I believe that any institution can strengthen its identity if it engages in branding strategies similar to the one Western has undertaken.

Brit boys Marcus Wainwright and David Neville of Rag & Bone present an accomplished collection of sleek (and weather-appropriate) separates to a hip crowd including Drew Barrymore.
BY Luke Leitch | 09 February 2013
Photo: Vladimir Potop
Despite the Sex And The City myth, nobody in Manhattan strides the sidewalk in a tutu. New York's streets teem with women whose dress code is as much about pragmatism, comfort and ease as it is ostentatious display. All of the city's most successful young designers - such as Alexander Wang, Jason Wu, and Phillip Lim - understand this. Of all these new-generation proponents of practical fashion, however, probably the most successful of all are Marcus Wainwright and David Neville - two thirtysomething Englishmen who first met at boarding school in Berkshire before striking out across the Atlantic.
IN PICTURES: Rag & Bone autumn/winter 2013
Their Rag & Bone label, one of the first to show its autumn/winter 2013 designs at New York Fashion Week, has gone from start-up to fashion sensation in little over a decade. This collection, watched from beneath a fedora by Drew Barrymore, exemplified why.
IN PICTURES: The street style stars to look out for at Fashion Week
Yes, there were plenty of eye-catching details - from the quilting on pale green split miniskirts to the black zipper that incongruously intersected the hood of an storm-ready orange bomber jacket. A slightly oversized houndstooth miniskirt came with a thickly piped black leather V-neck, and two pockets in the same material. Panelled in that same pale green and ambulance orange, a drop-down miniskirt had something Mary Quant-ish about it, especially teamed with the models' 1960s hairstyles.
READ: New York Fashion Week Newsflash: Friday highlights
Long leather overcoats had tough, biker jacket detailing, there were glimpses of stocking aplenty (unshocking, but undeniably eye-catching), and what looked like a leather-piped waistcoat in camouflage pattern peeked from beneath a Burberry-worthy winter trench.
Comfort, though, seemed equally as important to the designers as making an impression. A soft, houndstooth, snuggly cocoon of an oversized polo neck came with a collar so generous it would effectively double an inflight neck pillow. The look was later lustrously reprised in a black, fleece-lined lambskin. Flat fronted, one-pocketed, ankle-length trousers - perfect day trousers remain the holy grail in womenswear - came in a zingy blue, dark taupe, and ever-reliable, fall-back black.
Wainwright, the designer in chief, does have a great feel for colour - for who knew that deep purple and angry orange were so complementary - but never resorted to blinding his core, cool customer. The collection opened with a long refrain of all black looks before a six-outfit pale green aside that, only eventually, gave way to those more playful purples, oranges, and blues.

ST. MARYS — Investigators in northeastern Kansas are looking for links between recent arson fires at a partly demolished grain elevator and a nearby home.
The Manhattan Mercury reports officials have identified two people as "persons of interest" in the St. Marys fires.
The first blaze broke out around 2 a.m. Friday at the downtown St. Marys grain elevator owned by Nemaha County Co-op. The fire destroyed the elevator, which was being razed. It also scattered chunks of burning wood for several blocks and caused heat damage to nearby buildings.
Late Sunday, another fire broke out at an unoccupied residence about a block from the elevator. Authorities say that fire was also intentionally set.
St. Marys is located about 25 miles northwest of Topeka.

The Briefest of Histories
|Manuscripts and Chaos
Jeremiah chapter 1 is about the call of Jeremiah and the fortitude with which he would be strengthened. He would have a hard message and long weary and hard years to drive it home. And so he begins:
Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,
Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying,
Thus says the LORD,
I remember concerning you the devotion of your youth,
The love of your betrothals,
Your following after Me in the wilderness,
Through a land not sown.
Israel was holy to the LORD,
The first of His harvest.
All who ate of it became guilty;
Evil came upon them.
declares the LORD.
The word of the LORD
Note the style of Jeremiah's proclamation. He begins with an event that happened: "The word of the LORD came to me..." It leaves us wondering about the nature of this. Did he see a vision? Was it some internal manifestation? We are not told. All that we can surmise is that it left no doubt as to its origin.
Then there is the curious bracketing of the message, "Thus says the LORD, message, declares the LORD." What are we to make of this? It almost seems that by the time we get to the message we are at least 2 levels removed from the source. In other words, the LORD is not speaking directly to Jeremiah, but rather through an agent or means (i.e. the word of the LORD) who passes on the message to Jeremiah. In passages such as this, Jeremiah makes clear that he is only, if you will, the message bearer who makes no special claims of status before God.
The Message
The meaning of the message seems clear enough on a quick read, "You used to love and follow me, but you don't anymore. You are guilty and evil."
But a detailed reading becomes mysterious. There are 4 parallel couplets that carry this message. The first three couplets seem positive enough. They almost sound like an older parent reminiscing about the days of his children's youth. But as words from the LORD concerning His people, even these simple phrases make one pause.
I remember concerning the devotion of your youth / The love of your betrothals. The phrase "devotion of your youth" is easy enough. One can imagine the days of the patriarchs and the steadfast connection they had with the LORD. It is somewhat harder to connect this with the children of Israel in the general case, because they are often described as stubborn and hard-hearted, but even so there was always a remnant in every generation. However, if it is easy to understand "devotion of your youth" what are we to make of "the love of your betrothals?" Why is there more than one? I almost think of this in terms of generation after generation of Jacob's descendants renewing their connection with the LORD. In other words, Jacob loved the LORD and his children for generation after generation connected themselves intimately with their God.
Your following after Me in the wilderness / Through a land not sown. If the first couplet was about the Patriarchs and the generations after them, we can see that this couplet contains the next important phase in the history of Jeremiah's countrymen. This is the period of time when God took the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and made a nation out of them. The phrase "land not sown" is the bridge to the next couplet.
Israel was holy to the LORD / The first of His harvest. We have moved from a "land not sown" to a harvest. We have moved from the days of the patriarchs to the wilderness wanderings and now come to the nation of Israel. The point of the message at this juncture is that all should have gone well. There was love and devotion. There was a following during a difficult time. There was a sowing and a harvest. We would anticipate a return generation after generation.
All who ate of it became guilty; / Evil came upon them. But things turned sour. The descendants of Israel delighted to receive the benefits of the harvest, but they failed, in a sense, to re-sow the seed. Instead of becoming holy and maintaining their devotion and continuing to follow, they became guilty. Then evil came.
In short these four couplets contain the entire history of the children of Israel from the days of the patriarchs to Jeremiah's own day. Evil has fallen upon the land and its people. It will be up to Jeremiah to bring the charge. From this introduction, Jeremiah will lay out the legal case against his own countrymen. It is important to remember how far removed they are from the LORD who planted them.

Historical Hotel and Spa Overlooking San Francisco Bay
The Claremont Hotel & Spa—a historical, Forbes Four Star, AAA Four Diamond Award–winning hotel—overlooks the San Francisco Bay from a perch atop the Claremont Canyon. During the California gold rush, a private, English-style castle stood on the property. But after the castle burned down, real estate tycoon Frank Havens won the land in a game of checkers, and in 1915, he opened the sprawling Tudor-style resort that still stands today.
Of the many improvements made to the hotel over the years, none shine as brightly as the Spa Claremont, a 20,000-square-foot facility dubbed the Top U.S. Urban Spa by Vogue magazine. Beyond offering standard therapeutics such as facials and massages, the spa's staff administers body treatments, acupuncture, and water therapy, a means of relieving stress by wielding a seltzer bottle à la the Three Stooges. At the hotel's fitness center, 60 exercise classes are scheduled every week. There are 10 tennis courts onsite and a number of swimming pools, whirlpools, hot tubs, and saunas.
Three restaurants provide a range of fine-dining options. The landmark Meritage at the Claremont, a farm-to-table affair, serves dishes such as the sweet-pea ravioli beneath a two-story ceiling while diners gaze out onto the bay. The more casual Paragon Restaurant—an American brasserie—offers hand-shaken cocktails, live jazz on the weekends, and outdoor deck seating. The Bayview Café serves up light fare poolside.
Berkeley, California: Eclectic College Town Full of Art, History, and Culture
Situated across the bay from San Francisco, Berkeley is best known as the location of the oldest University of California campus, home to some 36,000 students and a still-thriving activist spirit. Residents are left-leaning and politically engaged, a legacy of Berkeley's role as one of the major centers of campus unrest during the late 1960s. Though things have settled down since the city's turbulent peak, public demonstrations still take place every now and then. Telegraph Avenue remains a colorful, free-spirit-friendly thoroughfare lined with cafés and smoke shops. During the school year it teems with scholars, bohemians, and vendors hawking tie-dyed graduation gowns. Over on Shattuck Avenue, a slew of bars and restaurants serves frothy microbrews and fresh, farm-to-table cuisine.
Those looking to sample Berkeley's renowned folk-music scene can drop by the Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, a venue that has hosted blues, bluegrass, and other Americana artists since 1968. For a night of world-class opera, theater, jazz, classical music, or dance, head to Hertz and Zellerbach Halls on the campus of the university.
