Thanks to Everyday Heroes!
A Lawyer, a Grandmother, and a Track Coach Walk into a …
... school board meeting. No, it's not a joke – far from it. In fact, community members such as these three are among the 198 school directors across Lancaster and Lebanon counties' 22 school districts. While their "day jobs" vary widely, school directors share a critical leadership role central to the success of public education in our communities. And these friends, neighbors, and colleagues aren't in it for the paycheck (there's not one!). They even run for election every four years to earn the right to carry out this volunteer service.
As the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) shares, "It is difficult to imagine a position in the public sector that has a more profound impact on the future, or that is a better example of true volunteer citizen service, than that of school director. However, it is not easy work. Public education is complex, highly regulated, and the demands upon public schools continue to grow. School directors have an important responsibility to ensure that all perspectives are heard and that the policies enacted, budgets adopted and other decisions school boards make properly balance the needs of many constituencies while fulfilling the constitutional mandate to provide an education to all children."
Given this complexity, supporting school board members is critical, especially as they first dive into the world of school district finances, school law, and educational policy. IU13 proudly serves local school districts by providing newly elected board members (plus any veterans who wish to participate!) with an Orientation for New School Directors each year school board elections are held. This January event assists school directors by providing the opportunity to:
- Interact with veteran school board members – informally and through a panel discussion – and meet other newly elected local school board members.
- Learn about the legal authority of the school board and essential school law concepts.
- Become acquainted with Lancaster-Lebanon IU13's role and services, including the cost-effective collaborative programs in which districts participate.
As January is School Director Recognition Month, please join us in saying "thanks" to your district's school board members – new and veteran. Why? School directors volunteer, on average, 20 hours a month to help run the schools in our community. The nine members of your local school board work together to make difficult decisions for the betterment of the students in your school district. They vote on multi-million dollar budgets, hire staff, select textbooks, review bus schedules and curriculum, to name a few.
During this month of recognition we ask you, the school directors' fellow community members, to show your appreciation for their service. Please show your gratitude in some way for their time, effort, and dedication to public education's advancement. Thank them for advocating on behalf of our collective interests and making the difficult decisions. Most importantly, thank them for being everyday heroes and making our students' success their priority.

For similar reasons, I shied away from M. T. Anderson's "Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation," even though it won last year's National Book Award for young people's literature. Just because the author himself uses the term "astonishing" to describe his subject doesn't automatically make the book astonishing; it could be merely stellar, sensational, breathtaking or un-put-downable. For somewhat different reasons, I avoided Kate Atkinson's "One Good Turn," because even though it was described as an "astonishing thriller" in an ad in The New Yorker, this assessment came from one Linda Grana of the Lafayette Bookstore in Lafayette, Calif. Linda Grana may be a critic of the first water, on the same level as Samuel Johnson and Dale Peck, but if the word "astonishing" does not appear as part of a review by a designated cognoscente in a mainstream publication, I do not buy the putatively astonishing product. I can't be buying books just because somebody in a bookstore somewhere said they were astonishing. I'd go broke.

BERLIN (Reuters Life!) - A German millionaire's complaint that publishing his net worth on a magazine's rich list was an invasion of privacy has been dismissed by a judge on grounds of public interest, the court said on Friday.
The attorney for one of Germany's richest men told the judge in the Bavarian capital of Munich his client's wealth was incorrectly stated, adding that an individual's financial affairs were a private matter.
But the judge dismissed the case, ruling the public has a legitimate interest in knowing about the wealth of billionaires and millionaires, as well as its origins, media reports said.
German monthly Manager Magazin, which publishes the list "100 Richest Germans," said the millionaire's wealth was shown as an estimate because he did not disclose to them his finances.
Germany has some of the toughest privacy laws in the world due to its experience with state surveillance systems once used by the Nazis and the former East German Stasi secret police.
The government has taken on U.S. Internet giants Google and Facebook in the past year over concerns about users' privacy.
Some media have reported the plaintiff as Josef Boquoi, the founder of frozen food company Bofrost.
But the Munich court would not reveal the name of the plaintiff in the case, in line with German privacy laws.
The plaintiff's lawyer in the case, Christian Schertz — known for representing high-profile clients in privacy matters — was not immediately available for comment.

Crafting Corner—POV
21 comments:
- Suzi said...
Most of the stuff I've written is 1st person. I have branched out into 3rd limited, but 1st is definitely my favorite.
- August 1, 2012 at 5:56 AM
- Madeline Mora-Summonte said...
Head Hopping drives me nuts!
Another con with too many points-of-view characters is that the reader may "like" one more than the other and then gets annoyed when that character's chapter ends and they have to move on. :)
- August 1, 2012 at 6:04 AM
- Kyra Lennon said...
I never think of first person as being limited, though it obviously is. The reason is, most of my writing is emotion based, and being inside one character's head means I have full access to their deeper feelings. I think it allows me to really explore who they are.
But I also like third person limited - though I haven't written that way for a long time!
- August 1, 2012 at 6:19 AM
- Karen M Krueger said...
I've always done first person. Maybe one day I'll branch out and do something different, though so far I haven't even wanted to. Guess I just like being right there in the MC's thoughts. :-)

I like 1st person, but I write in 3rd limited. When you weigh the pros and cons 3rd limited really gives you more than any other POV. Glad to have you back!
- August 1, 2012 at 8:23 AM
- Rachel Schieffelbein said...
I've done 1st, and 3rd limited. I haven't attempted being God yet. ;)
- August 1, 2012 at 9:29 AM
- Emily R. King said...
You know I love first person!
- August 1, 2012 at 9:40 AM
- Cassie Mae said...
I've written in 3rd and in 1st. Both I love, but I think I'm better in first, haha
- August 1, 2012 at 11:21 AM
- Aldrea Alien said...
I tried First Person once, but found I write better in Third Person Limited.
- August 1, 2012 at 11:45 AM
- Johanna Garth said...
I tend to write in third person limited.
- August 1, 2012 at 1:02 PM
- Cherie Reich said...
My YA is in 1st POV because it is more immediate, but my adult works so far are in 3rd limited because I tend to have more than one person telling the story (only one at a time though).
- August 1, 2012 at 1:12 PM
- Stacy Henrie said...
The one I lean toward is third person limited, but I've explored first person (both past and present tense) and had fun with it. :)
- August 1, 2012 at 2:38 PM
- Leigh Covington said...
DUDE! You're back to blogging! I'm so excited and yet so sad that I've been such a slacker! Now I've got to back track.
BTW- I think POV is fun to play with. My current book is in first person - and I'll totally be sending it your way before long! :D
- August 1, 2012 at 4:43 PM
- Kelley Lynn said...
Fraction is in third person limited. The collab I'm doing is first person. I guess I like both equally as long as they're used the right way.
- August 1, 2012 at 5:02 PM
- Brandon Ax said...
My finished novel is in first person, it let me really delve into the character, but it was also limited I could only express thought threw the views of that character. My WIP is in 3rd lim. I like it i can follow more than one character and have a little more freedom with how I write a scene. Anyway love the blog going to join :)
- August 1, 2012 at 5:38 PM
- Melissa Sarno said...
Argh. Point of View. I'm rewriting my novel from 3rd person close to 1st person. I bang my head against a desk just thinking about it... ;)
- August 1, 2012 at 8:50 PM
- ilima said...
I hate omniscient. I feel like it's cheating and think only a few brilliant writers can pull it off. My first book was third limited alternating from two POV's, but the rest have been first, and that's where I've discovered I like to be.
- August 1, 2012 at 8:50 PM
- Elizabeth Seckman said...
I like 3rd person limited. I've never tried 1st. As a reader all are good if well done.
- August 1, 2012 at 11:57 PM
- Jennifer Ruth Jackson said...
One of the reasons I love poetry is being able to switch-up POV whenever I want.
I find first is hard to pull off for some people because they want to slip in information unavailable in the type of POV they choose. Your character is sunbathing on the beach. How do we know about the bomb in the warehouse unless a shark escaped from there via the sewer and your protagonist just happens to telepathically communicate with warehouse-dwelling sharks?
- August 4, 2012 at 10:25 PM
- Rebecca Barrow said...
This is a very helpful post because now I actually know what I write in, haha! I like third person limited, I like being a little bit outside of my characters. I have written in first but I found it waaaay too easy to start going off on a tangent and I like being able to experience more than one character.

Yesterday (Sunday) AP reported that "State Dept. issued travel warning on Syria" and this morning (Monday) Reuters filed a follow-up report that "US offers free flights out for employees in Syria."
As of this morning, and since July 2010, my abducted daughter Sofia Kircaali, a US citizen, remains in Syria and in harm's way.
On Friday, I watched videos on the Internet showing violence inside a mosque one block away from where Sofia currently lives with her mother and grandmother.
Twitter updates on Sofia @FuatKircaali
I already wrote two blog posts on Sofia's status in Syria. Both posts were read by Washington, by our Embassy in Damascus, Syria, as well as the Syrian government both here in DC and in Damascus.
▸ Open Letter to the President of Syria Bashar al-Assad
▸ Open Letter to the First Lady of Syria Asma al-Assad
This morning, on Monday, Diane Macedo of Fox News published a detailed article on Sofia:
▸ Fox News On-camera Interview
▸ Fox News Story on Sofia's Abduction to Syria
Following the Syrian president's speech, the violence in Syria will escalate to new heights this week and will peak on Friday, April 8, 2011, in most major cities. The State Department must make a final effort to bring Sofia home as she appears to be the only American child left behind in this country today.

As I have told you before, here in my city we don't have Goodwill or Thrifty stores.
So I'm so pleased to have Alexis Bonari, a freelance writer and researcher for CollegeScholarships.org as a guest blogger here at Searching the Inner Me….
Read below as she demystifies and gives some tips about thrift store shopping.
The Seeker
The recent economy has made many people cut back on spending in all areas, including fashion. Goodwill used to be only for people who didn't care how they looked, but not anymore; it has become a resource for thrifty fashionistas and trendy hipsters.
Within a couple weeks of each other, I found my favorite pair of jeans (straight-leg, Gap brand) for $3.89 and a couple of J. Crew tops that I frequently wear to work for under $4 each. My favorite story, however, comes from a girlfriend of mine, who found a small, Coach bag for $10! I've also seen several tops and pants from Ann Taylor Loft but am holding out for my a few in my size.
If you're willing to put in a little time and a lot of patience, thrift store shopping is a great way to cut your fashion spending without having to sacrifice the brand names. Here are a few things to help weed out the unused, unwanted items you're likely to find.
1. Know Your Area
If you live in a small town, you may only have a single store, but bigger cities usually have multiple locations, and a fifteen-minute drive can be the difference between finding Walmart jeans and 7 For All Mankind. Find the stores in the nicer neighborhoods around town to find better brand names for the same price.
I wear jeans until they actually rip apart, so second-hand works great for me; however, I don't like used hats, shoes or lingerie, so decide which used items are acceptable to you and stay away from the rest; cheap items are still wasted money if you don't use them. This will also save you time while sifting through all the items.
3. Know Your Layout
Clothes are divided into adults and children and further by gender. There are also super cheap bins in the back. Individual pieces are divided by color, not style or size, so you'll have to do some digging to find what appeals to you and what will actually fit. What you save in money, you'll pay for with time and patience.
4. Try Things On
Just because you're not sopping in a department stores doesn't mean you can't try items on. Goodwill locations usually have two or three small dressing rooms. Make sure things fit and flatter your figure. Again, unused cheap items are still wasted money.
5. Inspect. Inspect. Inspect.
You can't return items if you get home and they have holes or stains, so go over them several times to make sure they are acceptable for everyday wear.
6. Accessorize
Use the money you're saving on clothing at Goodwill to invest in great accessory pieces to accent your new finds and give them some variety.

I say reasonably well because AMD's Llano and Bulldozer chips have been underwhelming performers thus far. The company decided to design a new architecture that focuses on conserving resources, improving power efficiency and reducing heat generation. Its a good idea on paper compared to Intel's approach of continuing the growth of Moore's law using 3D-layered transistors, but in reality it strangles single-thread performance and requires higher clock speeds to match anything from Intel's stable. In addition, there's not a lot to differentiate CPUs from the same family. In gaming benchmarks, AMD's FX-4100 performs similarly to the FX-8120, with some margin of improved frame rates in certain games thanks to the higher clock speeds of the quad-core chip.
Yes, despite that some people say AMD's FX-8120 is a octo-core chip, its really four Bulldozer modules with two single-core chips per module, squashed together and forced to share cache, floating point units and bandwidth. Likewise for the quad-core chip, which has two modules and really can't contend with even Intel's Sandy Bridge-based Pentiums. For laptops and desktops, AMD promised that Trinity would improve performance by 15% overall and prove a worthy upgrade from the Llano chips of old. Lets see how they've delivered.
While AMD's low-power Brazos and Llano chips may have used the integrated "Sumo" graphics core as leverage in the past, Intel's Ivy Bridge quickly caught up with their improved integrated graphics core. As Sandy Bridge filtered down into the low-end laptops, AMD's market and mind share took another dip. Only Brazos-based netbooks and cheap Ultrabook alternatives gained any traction and a reputation for being capable media consumption devices. Gaming was an option on Llano chips, but as you'll see later, Intel's HD4000 chip actually does really well for itself in comparision.
The graphics core improves with Trinity and launches with "Devastator", an improved version of the previous chip inside Llano. One of the biggest problems with Llano is that its graphics core was, essentially, too big for its boots. Devastator is based on AMD's VLIW4 architecture that was used in the HD6000 series and is a more streamlined version of VLIW5 which Llano used. VLIW4 chucks out an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) that was sitting idle in Llano/s SIMD units. Most applications only take advantage for up to four ALUs so AMD cut out the unused one and used the extra space to fit in more texture units and thread processors (similar to Nvidia's plan to increase the amount of CUDA cores in a chip, while cutting out the fluff).
In addition, Devastator brings a number of improvements that we saw with the release of the HD7000 series. Devastator supports up to four display outputs using DisplayPort (Sumo was limited to two). You have to daisy-chain on the fourth monitor, but that's pretty impressive for a notebook processor. In addition, each output supports its own audio path so that as you cycle a playing video in VLC between monitors with their own speakers, each one plays sound in turn as the video player is moved between each one. Its a really impressive piece of tech and will be useful to people who hook up their laptop to an HDTV and expect things to work without fiddling. Display grouping is also supported and you can group displays in relation to their position in front of you.
Trinity improves the original Bulldozer design but remains on the 32nm process. That has implications for die size and power consumption, but AMD is confident that they've got things under control with this new generation of processors. They're also banking on apps and more software to make use of OpenCL, which allows acceleration using just about any graphics core regardless of make or model. The biggest flaw Bulldozer and Llano have is that floating-point performance is still mainly performed on the processor and OpenCL was nowhere near the kind of polish or potential it has today.
For those of you who are still confused, OpenCL is a framework for other software that allows code to be executed on the CPU and GPU simultaneously, cutting down on completion time and the resources required to accelerate the process. Adobe's Photoshop and CS5 suite famously support GPU-accelerated editing options when using certain Nvidia graphics cards. OpenCL aims to remove limits like those and open heterogeneous computing to anyone who needs it.
The next thing to note is that Piledriver improves everywhere that Bulldozer cut corners to get to market as quickly as possible. There are lots of small improvements made from the way code is handled, improved branch prediction and even faster and more optimised L2 cache memory. Its still a bunch of Bulldozer modules clustered together, but they're made a lot more efficient and robust. Given all the improvements, Piledriver reduced power consumption by as much as 20% which is great given that its designed for laptops and low-power Ultrabook designs. In addition, the floating-point weakness of Llano has been addressed, but not by much – AMD still chooses to put its eggs in its basket with OpenCL.
The last notable improvement has to be AMD's changes to the way Trinity uses Turbo Boost. When the chip identifies a GPU-intensive workload, it underclocks the processor and raises the clock speed on the GPU. Likewise for a CPU-intensive load, the GPU is underclocked and the CPU's speed is raised to as much as 3.2Ghz as we see below in the case of Cinebench. Its an interesting idea, and allows Trinity to stay within the 35w power envelope. What does this mean for battery life? You won't have to worry about how long it will last you, regardless of the workload you're doing.
This approach will be interesting for overclockers on the desktop if it's implemented there as well. You might have to turn it off completely to keep settings stable, or you could overclock to find the chip's operating limits and then keep boost on while raising default clock speeds, allowing the chip to speed up to the maximum stable speed for certain workloads. If we could raise the default power envelope and use our desktops at a nominal 2Ghz but increase that to 3.6Ghz on all cores when there's a multi-threaded CPU-intensive workload, that would automatically be a far better option in terms of power consumption than Intel's Turbo boost because it only goes up to a certain point before hitting the maximum power envelope.
In general, performance has improved in all areas and we see this in the benchmarks below. Anandtech's tests showed Trinity gaining a small lead in PCMark 7's benchmark, achieving roughly half the computational power of Intel's Ivy Bridge-based Core i7-3720QM. That scenario plays out in the rest of the benchmarks too, showing better performance than Llano and almost catching up to Sandy Bridge dual-core chips in the Productivity benchmark. Moving to the Creativity test, its shown the the optimisations to Piledriver do their best to improve performance when creating content. However the Computational test shows that Trinity, even though it improves hugely over Llano in the Computation test, still falls very far from the baseline set by Intel's Core i3-2367M.
Its an improvement nonetheless and for mobile users the battery savings implications are huge. Moving onto battery life tests, Anandtech found a notable boost in performance, gaining nearly an hour extra in the idle test with the screen at medium brightness settings, achieving nearly nine hours off the wall. Its interesting to see how performance actually drops with Ivy Bridge – even with a bigger battery, Intel's Core i7-3720QM achieves roughly half the battery life of the Core i7-2637QM. Moving onto browsing, Trinity takes a huge leap forward with its efficiency and only loses under two hours of battery life from idle. The Ivy bridge i7, however, barely loses half an hour, suggesting that the processor underclocks itself severely to let the GPU take all the rendering load of the web browser. In the video playback test things take a dive to just under four hour's running time, but it does draw up favourably with Ivy bridge.
For gaming, however, here's where we see the real improvements to Trinity. In Batman: Arkham Asylum we see the Devastator GPU drawing up alongside Llano's Sumo chip, delivering playable performance at medium details. Intel's HD4000 chip in the Ivy Bridge processors also provides playable performance and once overclocked, may even break the 60fps barrier. Battlefield 3 is a disappointment but it is a texture-heavy game, with Trinity beating out Ivy Bridge despite the more expensive solution having a lot more power available to throw at the game. Nvidia's GT630M is the only solution providing a playable frame rate here and shows that EA's latest cash cow is GPU-limited. Civilisation V shows Trinity shooting to the top thanks to its improved Compute and tesselation abilities, easily besting the GT640M. However, settings had to be turned to low here, demonstrating the power Civilisation V has of bringing stronger systems to their knees.
Moving onto DiRT3, Ivy Bridge and Trinity square off again with 40fps at medium details. DiRT3's EGO game engine is used in Codemaster's other racing games like F1 2010/2011 and in Racedriver: Grid. Skyrim again shows the 1-2 finish, but with both chips barely showing performance differences. I doubt many gamers will notice the 5.8fps difference in-game. Nvidia's GT640M is looking to be the gamer's choice here, almost always ending up with 60fps in most games. Portal 2 is processor-limited, and surprisingly shows Trinity in a huge lead over Ivy Bridge. This is again seen in Total War: Shogun 2, with Trinity showing nearly double the performance of the HD4000 inside the Ivy Bridge processor.
So what should we take away here? Firstly, Trinity almost always usurps the combination of Intel's Core i7-2820QM in games along with the HD3000 and is now the baseline for acceptable gaming at medium details and native 15.6″ resolution. Ivy Bridge may end up performing marginally better, but that chip combination costs nearly $300 more to implement for manufacturers. Should you find a nice Ultrabook with the Trinity A10-4600M, that's your best choice by a clear mile if you spend a lot of time gaming or at LANs. In fact, compared to Ivy Bridge, AMD's price/performance ratio shoots through the roof.
Its only in very specific scenarios where you'd be better off with an Intel chip, especially if your workload is almost exclusively related to content creation – but consider that if OpenCL attains the kind of lofty support AMD hopes, there'll be no reason to buy an Intel quad-core processor in a notebook over Trinity unless your application makes use of Intel's Quicksync, which really can't be matched in the notebook segment. For all other workloads, Trinity performs very well and the Turbo boost feature is implemented nicely.
So while AMD can celebrate a win over Intel here, what does it mean for consumers? Ultrabooks are approaching the $800 price point and the same notebook with Trinity could save you $200. However, given Intel's history of forcing out its only competitor by asking suppliers to stick with its chips even when they're not as good, for Ultrabook builds I'm guessing there's little chance you'll see an AMD-based one in your local Game, Makro or even Incredible Connection. HP's Sleekbook range is the first that I've seen with a focus on Trinity and it remains to be seen how other manufacturers approach AMD's platform.
But certainly, we'll see some interesting designs. Given the 35watt TDP, who could say no to a Trinity-powered Ultrabook alternative with an 11.6″ screen to rival the Macbook Air at half the price? How about options from Alienware to have this in their M11x? Or a 15.6″ R5000 Makro bargain with Windows 7 Home Basic and the A6-4455M processor? There's a good chance AMD's next Bulldozer refresh will bump up performance by another 15%, so things are looking up for the underdog once again. Shove an SSD into the chassis and you'll be good to go. Things are even more promising for desktop users, as Piledriver for socket FM1/AM3+ is still coming later this year.
I only hope AMD can capitalise on the small lead they now have to improve their standing with customers and suppliers. After all, its the consumer they're servicing and what better way to serve that consumer than to give them options?

WHCA Annual End of Summer Social – Picnic 2014
On SEPTEMBER 6, 2014 (Saturday) at 5PM, ALL Woodburn Homes Civic Association (WHCA) members and neighbors are invited to attend the annual WHCA picnic to be held in the cul de sac at the south end of Beverly Drive.
For the picnic, WHCA will provide hot dogs, hamburgers and soft drinks. Those attending are asked to bring a dish (salads, desserts, etc.) to share, their own chairs, and BYOB.
Please RSVP by September 2 (Tuesday) to Kristin Haynes at whcaareacoordinator@ live.com or 703-698-5484. Flyers inviting everyone to the WHCA 2014 picnic were distributed throughout the neighborhood.
Annual National Night Out Celebration 2014
On August 5, 2014, a lively group of WHCA neighbors met at the corner of Hayden and Knox at 7:30pm for a leisurely walk through the neighborhood to celebrate National Night Out. They joined over 37.8 million neighbors across 16,124 communities to promote neighborhood camaraderie by strolling along community streets.
National Night Out was started in 1984 by Matt Peskin, the Executive Director of the National Association of Town Watch, as a way of increasing community cohesiveness, promoting police and community partnerships, and reducing crime. National Night Out represents the kind of spirit, energy and determination demonstrated by people who want to help make their neighborhoods a safer place to live year round.
Oral History Archives of Civil Rights Movement
In July 2014, Congressman Gerald E. Connolly (D-11th District of VA) formally unveiled at George Mason University, the creation of a digital archive of oral histories and documents detailing personal stories that propelled the United States eventually to pass and implement the 1964 Civil Rights Act. To commemorate in 2014 the 50-year anniversary of the passing of the Civil Rights Act, Congressman Connolly, who spearheaded this oral history project, stated that, "For the past year my office has recorded over fifty hours of video interviews for a Civil Rights Archive about the memories of our fellow-Northern Virginians, who worked so courageously to end segregation in our region."
The Archive doesn't provide a solution for our still existing racial discrimination and economic problems. It doesn't try to directly correlate each act of resistance to landmark laws or policy changes. It simply demonstrates the small journeys that make up the American experience that added up, provides testimony to an inspirational story of a time when the fortitude, blood and extraordinary sacrifice of thousands of ordinary people forced a nation to change.
Our WHCA neighbor, Mrs. Avonjeannette Hill, and her niece worked with Congressman Connolly to help create the Civil Rights Archive of stories about the pursuit of desegregation in Northern Virginia. Some of Mrs. Hill's memories were included in the May 2014 WHCA Newsletter, and our community is grateful to her and others for their contribution to this important historical record.
The Civil Rights Digital Archive of oral history and documents may be located on the Web sites of the Library of Congress, George Mason University, and the library systems for Prince William and Fairfax Counties.
Endowment Created for Duquesne University's McAnulty College of Liberal Arts in Honor of Irma A. Jones, Alumna
[NOTE: Irma was the beloved wife of over 22 years of Richard Morris, who is a former WHCA President and Treasurer. As a husband and wife team, Richard and Irma have been very active neighborhood residents and participants in many community activities.]
In memory of Irma A. Jones, an endowed gift of $25,000 has been donated to Duquesne University's McAnulty College of Liberal Arts. Irma Jones graduated from Duquesne in 1992 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology with a concentration in Criminal Justice. After serving as a Paralegal for over 15 years with Legal Services of Northern Virginia and over 18 years at the TV program "America's Most Wanted", Irma succumbed following a 10 year battle to Breast Cancer on August 5, 2013 at the age of 43. She was committed to her family, friends, her community, and the people she served every day. Through her outgoing personality, she exemplified leadership, initiative, self-discipline, organization and service, and in turn was greatly loved and respected by so very many.
Administered by the Dean of McAnulty College of Liberal Arts, the gift, officially titled the Irma A. Jones Endowed Student Resource Fund will in perpetuity be used to annually award financial support to help defray ancillary educational expenses, such as books, lab fees, travel or other educational expenses, to a student enrolled in the Criminal Justice concentration of the college's Sociology degree program who otherwise meets the need requirements.
The Irma A. Jones Endowed Student Resource Fund was established in 2014 to provide students with the opportunity to pursue higher education, to enhance their future, and to improve society as a whole. If you have any questions about the fund, please contact Dean, McAnulty College of Liberal Arts or email@example.com. Should you wish to donate to this fund please visit, http://duq.edu/make-a-gift/giving-opportunities/academic-quality/non-scholarship-endowments for more information.
Fairfax County Approved Funds for Full-Day Mondays at
Elementary Schools
Ending a 40-year practice of half-day Mondays, the Fairfax County School Board voted to fund a plan to extend Monday classes for elementary schools, adding an extra 75 hours of instruction for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
The Board voted unanimously to spend $7.6 million to fund the plan, which had been approved in late June 2014. The funding came from $38 million in leftover or "carryover" money from the prior year's budget, the result of budgeted funds that officials did not spend. Each year, the school system revisits the budget to identify leftover money that can be used at the School Board's discretion for future projects.

Woodburn Homes Civic Association (WHCA) Meeting
July 28, 2014
Proposed Minutes for Approval at Oct. 27, 2014 Meeting
The summer WHCA meeting, held at Epiphany Byzantine Catholic Church, was called to order at 7:35pm by Carol Russell, President.
In addition to the 5 officers listed below, 16 members attended the meeting, for a total of 21 attendees. (This was the most well-attended WHCA quarterly meeting in recent memory.)
Officers present were:
President Carol Russell
Vice President Loretta Rowe
Secretary Anna Fotias
Treasurer Jeanne Midgett
Area Representative Kristin Haynes
Carol Russell, President, distributed the meeting agenda, which was accepted as proposed. A motion was made, seconded and passed to accept the previous April 28, 2014 WHCA meeting minutes, which had also been distributed. President Russell thanked Secretary Anna Fotias for production of the quarterly meeting minutes and reported that WHCA Council members met on July 16, 2014 to prepare for this July 28 WHCA meeting.
The President then asked for the Officers' reports, provided as follows:
Vice-President Loretta Rowe mentioned that Thomas Ray Pritchard, the son of our neighbors Dan and Young Pritchard (Beverly Drive), died on July 10, 2014. She noted that individual neighbors have provided baked goods and expressed their condolences to the Pritchard family. Also, Treasurer Jeanne Midgett, who lives next door to the Pritchards, purchased a Honey Baked ham for the family on behalf of their neighbors in the WHCA community.
Treasurer Jeanne Midgett reported there is $951.64 in the WHCA Treasury as of July 28, 2014. This is the balance after payment of $46.11 to Staples for costs of printing copies of the agenda, prior meeting minutes and the WHCA Directory for distribution at this meeting. She also mentioned that WHCA has received letters of thanks from both Falls Church High School and the Epiphany Byzantine Catholic Church for WHCA's annual donation of $75.00 each to Falls Church High School for their All Night Graduation Party and to the Epiphany Byzantine Catholic Church for providing WHCA meeting space.
Secretary Anna Fotias, as WHCA Newsletter editor, reported that the deadline for submission of materials for publication in the next Newsletter is August 15, 2014. She requested that members consider submitting their articles of community interest and any recommendations for contractors and service providers to help make the Newsletter as informative as possible. Distribution of the next Newsletter is scheduled to occur at the end of August.
Area Representative Coordinator, Kristin Haynes reported on upcoming WHCA social activities. The neighborhood walk in observance of National Night Out is on Tuesday, August 5 from 7pm – 8pm with neighbors to meet at the corner of Hayden and Knox. This year's annual WHCA summer picnic will be held on Saturday, September 6 with specific time and location to be determined and announced at a later date.
Ernestine Hall, who is the coordinator for welcoming and providing assistance to community residents, reported that she was not aware of any neighbors' requests for assistance. She requested that if anyone knows of a neighbor who may need some help to contact her by telephone or e-mail.
President Russell then introduced Jeff and Lisa Plummer, our new neighbors at 3438 Beverly Drive, who are a Navy family relocating this July to our area from Guam. They have twin 16 yr. old daughters, who will be attending Falls Church High School. Jeff and Lisa have already joined WHCA and were attending their first WHCA meeting on July 28. We are very pleased to welcome them to our community. Also, another long-time neighbor, Luz Martinez (Hayden Lane), who attended the July 28 meeting and joined WHCA, was welcomed.
Follow up items from last meeting included:
- Woodburn Road Parking and Shoulder Repair. President Russell confirmed that VDOT has completed repair of the ruts and clean up of the trash along the shoulder of Woodburn Road (before the entrance to INOVA Fairfax Hospital going towards Gallows Road) where they recently installed no parking signs. Also they have repaired the pothole on Beverly Drive.
- Truck with attached Snow Plow Parked on Street at end of Hayden has been Removed. The neighbor has removed his truck with snow plow attached from on street parking along Hayden Lane.
- Trees Trimmed at Blind Curve where Woodburn Road meets Tobin. President Russell contacted VDOT to request that pine tree branches be trimmed along the Woodburn Road curve before the traffic light at Tobin so that drivers attempting to make a left hand turn onto Tobin can see on-coming cars. (VDOT trimmed these pine trees by early August, and drivers can now make a safer left hand turn from Woodburn Road onto Tobin.)
- Schedule of Street Repaving in our Neighborhood. As follow-up to a request at our October WHCA meeting for VDOT's schedule of street repaving, President Russell requested that VDOT evaluate our neighborhood roads to determine if they are eligible for repaving. She reported that VDOT informed her they will conduct an assessment for road repairs this summer. Our neighborhood streets could be placed in line for repaving in 2015 based on this assessment and on the existing budget. WHCA will monitor VDOT's assessment and scheduling process and provide updates when available.
- Rain Water Drainage Problem on Taylor Lane. At WHCA's October meeting, Randy Fulk (Taylor Lane) asked for advice on whether VDOT would install a drainage pipe under his drive way or on the street to fix a rain water drainage problem onto his property. As follow-up, both Randy Fulk and President Russell contacted VDOT, and VDOT installed a mini-speed bump at the end of his driveway, which diverts rain water from his lawn and has helped to fix the water drainage problem.
The following was reported under Community News and Updates:
- INOVA Fairfax Hospital Road Construction. President Russell reported that the start of Fairfax INOVA Hospital plans for road construction in our neighborhood, the status of which was reported at our October WHCA meeting, has been postponed until September 2014.
- Update on Fairfax County Schools Changing Start Times. Kristin Haynes reported that half-day Mondays in Fairfax County elementary schools have been eliminated, which will add extra hours of instruction time for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. This change was prompted by the extension of the end of this past school year due to school closings from winter inclement weather. Also, Fairfax County high schools are considering starting later in the morning, 8am or later (as opposed to the current 7:20am start), to give teenagers more sleep time. If approved by the School Board, implementation of the new start time for Fairfax County high schools would not occur until the Fall 2015.
- WHCA Membership Directory Distributed. Copies of the WHCA Membership Directory, containing names, mailing addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of WHCA members, who have given their permission to be included in the Directory, were distributed at the July 28, 2014 WHCA meeting.
- No News on Exxon Mobil Property Sale. President Russell reported that there is no new information on potential buyers or new tenants for Exxon Mobil's 117 acre campus, which was officially put up for sale in November 2013. This land still remains zoned for corporate use only with an option for a hotel, and not for residential or medical facility use. WHCA will continue to monitor and report on what impact a new buyer/tenant of the Exxon Mobil property could have on our community.
- Trash Companies. Secretary Anna Fotias reported on the availability of AAA/Republic Services Trash Company's special price offer for new customers only who agree to a 3-year contract with fixed rates that are lower than the current American Disposal Company's price for the same trash pick-up services. Information on AAA/Republic's special offer and person to contact for further information was distributed. Quinta Seida commented that it would lessen the number of trash trucks in our neighborhood if all neighbors would agree to contract with one trash company. On the other hand, Anna Fotias pointed out that having two trash companies competing for our business helps keep the costs down.
The following was reported under Public Comments/Concerns:
- Larry Binner commented that he has noticed many more utility street markings throughout our neighborhood, for example, blue markings for water lines and yellow for gas. He wondered if anyone knew of reasons, such as maybe Fios intentions to install underground cables, for these increased street utility markings. President Russell indicated she would try to find out and would report on any findings. Also, Larry Binner offered to donate strips of reflective tape to those neighbors wishing to attach a strip of reflective tape to their trash cans. He agreed to distribute these strips of reflective tape at the WHCA summer picnic on September 6 for as long as his supply lasts.
- Irene VanSlyke asked if anyone knew who purchased Jack Butts' house on Beverly Drive. Jack Butts, a long-time resident, died earlier this year, and his heirs had put the house up for sale. We noticed a "Sold" sign has appeared on the house, but no one at our July 28 meeting had any information on the purchaser.
- Bill Corfitzen noted that he needed to replace his damaged mailbox recently and that he contacted Jim Hughes of MAILBOXXPRESS, who was recommended on WHCA's Neighborhood Referrals Database. He was very pleased with the installation of his new mailbox and highly recommends this service provider.
- Ernestine Hall announced a new arrival to our neighborhood. Brian and Diane Williams (Hayden Lane) are the proud parents of an 8 lb. 15 oz. baby girl, who was born on Monday, July 28, 2014. Parents and their son Jacob are excited about this new addition to their family.
President Russell adjourned the meeting at 7:55pm. (This 20-minute WHCA meeting may be the shortest on record!) Coffee and desserts, provided by Council members, were enjoyed by attendees, who remained to socialize for almost an hour. (This ratio of meeting time to socializing time seems right to us.) Our next Association meeting is scheduled for October 27, 2014 at 7:30pm in the Byzantine Catholic Church's social hall basement.

While we're still in the vein of laundry for the Homemaking for the Modern Mama series this week, exploring an alternative to those costly and chemical-ridden dryer sheets and fabric softeners is our task today.
How does the average American spend money drying and softening clothes?
Bounce Dryer sheets (120 sheets / loads) = $15.27 or $30-$50 per year if you purchase 1 per month. Fabric Softener (40 loads) = $10.00 or $75.00-$100 per year if you purchase 1 per month.
If you're using natural dryer products:
Seventh Generation Natural Dryer sheets (65 sheets /loads) = $12.29 or $55-$75 per year if you purchase 1 per month. Seventh Generation Fabric Softener (40 loads) = $8.00 or $60.00 – $80.00 if you purchase 1 per month.
(Stats from Smart Klean)
Here's an incredible alternative: homemade dryer balls.
Dryer balls are simply felted wool balls that bounce around in your dryer. Based on the size you make, you simply throw 3-6 balls in your dryer and watch the magic begin.
What wool dryer balls do:
- absorb moisture from the clothes in the dryer, cutting your dryer time by 25-50%!
- help reduce static cling
- soften clothes
- can lightly scent clothing naturally with essential oils (optional)
- save a lots of money--dryer balls can last 7+ years
- dry and remove static naturally without chemicals
These dryer balls are wonderful for sensitive skin in children and adults. No chemicals, just pure wool bouncing around in your dryer saving you money.
What you need to make Wool Felted Dryer Balls:
- 100% wool yarn (Can be picked up at any sewing or crafting shop)
- scissors
- crocheting needle
- old pantyhose or tights
- embroidery floss
- washer and dryer
1. You are basically making a ball of yarn to make these dryer balls. Start by wrapping the yarn around two fingers. Once you've wrapped it about 10-20 times, carefully pull the loop you've created off your fingers.
2. Pinch the loop so you can begin wrapping the yarn around the middle of the loop, tightly, as seen above. Keep wrapping the yarn until the middle begins to look round like a ball. From here you are free to keep wrapping in any direction. Remember you're trying to achieve a tight ball.
3. Wrap the yarn until you make a ball with a circumference of around 5-6 inches. Remember to keep it nice and tight as you wrap.
4. With your crocheting needle, thread the end piece of yarn through some of the ball to secure.
5. Continue making balls this way.
5. Now for the felting. Cut the leg off of an old pair of pantyhose--I used tights. Slide one ball into the toe of the tights and tie off with embroidery floss. Don't use your wool yarn. Continue with the remaining balls, tying them off as you go.
6. It should look like a snake that has eaten oranges when you are finished. Now you're ready to throw the snake into the washer with a hot load. Then off it goes into the dryer with a load on high heat.
7. Once the first felting is complete (your wool balls will look more solid as the wool has started to merge together), add more yarn to each ball until you've reached the size of a tennis ball. You can go larger or smaller, depending on how many balls you intent to use in your dryer.
Repeat the above steps and back through the snake into the washer on hot and dryer on high heat. You can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil before you put them in the snake one last time. This will add a nice fragerance to your clothes in the dryer.
Now your felted wool dryer balls are complete. You may begin using them in your dryer! They will become more and more felted with each use, preventing them from even falling apart. These truly can last for many years before needing to be replaced. I love them!!!! I think you will too. (Plus kids love tossing them around.)
Pretty incredible, right?
A perfect homemade, money-saving, natural approach to Homemaking for the Modern Mama.

Breast Surgeon with Breast Cancer
Breast Surgeon with Breast Cancer
It will be fine
16/07/15 16:39
I first found a breast lump in 2010. I was working as a surgical registrar in Luton. My husband had just proposed, and had taken 7 weeks' holiday to sail the North West Passage in the Arctic - definitely no wifi or 3G there! Although I was working towards becoming a breast surgeon, all common sense went out of the window. I spent the night literally howling on my sofa, alone. It was obviously going to be a cancer, and I'd need a mastectomy, and my hair would fall out, and I wouldn't be able to wear a wedding dress, and my fiancé would leave me, and I'd be dead in 2 years…. Not melodramatic at all then!

What does DF look like? Back in the 90s, the digital fiction works I was most familiar with were those published by Eastgate Systems: they were black and white works with little boxes around the words, indicating hypertext links. They didn't look like much, really… the interesting part was the hypertext. Later, DF became more about multimedia, on the one hand, and code and algorithms on the other, the look changed; it became more self-consciously colourful, sometimes signalling its digital nature through the use of vibrant graphics and data visualizations. Often, green text on a black background evoked "computer."
Some of this aesthetic was about the genre, and the late 20th century. Games from the same era share much of the look and feel. Some of that, though, merely reflected the presentational expression possible in one or other early authoring systems. Limited fonts, poor type rendering, 8-bit colour (and sound?)… many of these things are part of what people remember about DF's early years.
As Flash became a standard toolkit for digital storytelling and expression, production values got a lot better. But 2000s-era Flash has its own characteristic look and feel; animated text, zooming views, standardized transitions were easy to achieve, and therefore became commonplace.
Steve Jobs ushered in a new era about 5 years ago, with the launch of Apple's mobile platform and his banishing of Flash from iOS. That was arguably a good decision, as it lent a huge amount of energy to the development of open web-based standards to take Flash's place. Today, we inherit a vast open web platform, built on simple open technologies like html, css, and javascript. The web platform is more than 20 years old now, and it begins to show the signs of maturity — in some areas at least.
The web's agenda, stated or unstated, has been to absorb all other publishing and presentation systems. It has, I think, done so, at the expense of elegance; web authoring is still a bit of a dog's breakfast, simply because there are so many options, so many toolkits and frameworks, and whatnot. But just about anything is possible now. Good typography is within easy reach on the web now, as is native support for animation, vector graphics, video, and audio. Ubiquitous frameworks like jQuery provide a solid foundation of basic interactive functionality. And designers have begun to think mobile-first, a move that is important not just because we all carry phones, but because it provides a way of throwing off the "web design" conventions and aesthetic of the first decades.
So what should Digital Fiction look like in 2014? Especially given that the open web platform places very few constraints on designers. The lack of constraints is both a blessing and a curse; those early experiments found a ready-made genre and style in the narrow limits afforded by early platforms. In the absence of such things, how do begin to design for wide-open media?

We're back! We're still dragging around a bit but we are home. My body was so happy to be back in its own bed that I slept until 9:00 this morning. And the dogs slept even later.
This recipe is one that we always enjoy whether we eat it with spaghetti or in sub sandwich bread. The original directions suggest crumbling and browning 1/2 pound of ground beef and mixing into spaghetti sauce which you would then add the meatballs to. I usually do that and allow them to simmer in spaghetti sauce for a couple of hours so they absorb some of the sauce. I imagine, though, that you could use the meatballs with whatever kind of sauce you want (for example, to make swedish meatballs).
I have often thought that I should triple this and put some of the meatballs in the freezer for later but I never do and we rarely have any left after the second day. I hope your family likes them just as much.
1 lb. ground beef
2 eggs
salt and pepper
4 crackers, crushed
1 small onion, chopped fine
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
2 tablespoons romano or parmesan cheese
oil or shortening
Mix together all ingredients except oil or shortening. Form into balls and cook in oil/shortening. Drain.
So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. Galatians 6:9
Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished! Luke 1:45

The Many Benefits of Nutritional Supplements
According to the Council for Responsible Nutrition, a majority of American adults are using supplements to enhance the effects of a healthy diet and exercise – 68% to be exact – and if you're not yet among them, you may be missing out.
While the dizzying array of options available that spans everything from vitamins, minerals, herbals and botanicals to amino acids and enzymes can make creating a supplement plan a challenge, the health boost supplementation can offer is worth the time it takes to find the right balance.
Some of the more popular supplements are vitamins D and E; minerals like calcium and iron; herbs such as echinacea; and specialty supplements like probiotics and glucosamine, but your main concern should be finding the supplements that are right for you. Visiting with either a naturopathic or a traditional physician is the best way to create a schedule of supplementation that meets your exact needs.
Wellness that Works for You
It's not hard to see why supplements are so popular. Some of the many health benefits of supplements include boosting metabolism with B-vitamins that absorb nutrients and aid in the breakdown of carbohydrates, protein, and fats. Zinc, green tea, selenium and CLA are also known metabolism boosters. Tissue repair is also a well-known benefit of supplements, as Calcium and vitamins D, A, C, and K can make recovering from exercise-related injuries easier by helping your body create new healthy tissue. Supplements have also been known to prevent birth defects; taking folic acid before and during pregnancy helps prevent neural tube defects in newborns. Those who suffer from migraines can benefit from supplements with Butterbur, magnesium, and Coenzyme Q10, and those who suffer from indigestion can benefit from supplements with B-class vitamins like folic acid. Omega-3 fatty acids, alpha lipoic acid, vitamin E and D, folic acid and other supplements have also shown promising results in disease prevention studies.
Choosing the Healthiest Supplements
Supplement makers put additives into tablets and powders for lots of different reasons – some additives help make pills easier to swallow while others ensure liquid supplements taste great. Most additives are simply there to make supplements easier to take and are made of food grade ingredients not uncommon to encounter in prepared meals. But that doesn't mean all additives are healthy or even safe.
You can avoid unhealthy additives by choosing brands like Nutrilite from Amway that use organic plant concentrates and highly purified vitamins and minerals to deliver nutrition naturally. When in doubt, research the ingredients in your supplements so you can be sure you're not inadvertently taking in toxins along with your nutrients.
Beware of False Claims
Herbs, amino acids, botanicals, minerals and vitamins can all have a powerful impact on physical and mental wellness but remember that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The most effective supplements have been specially formulated to meet gaps in nutrition not replace the whole foods that should be providing the bulk of your nutrition or stand in for regular exercise.
In other words, investing in good quality supplements is a smart decision, but don't give up your commitment to your already healthy lifestyle. Approach wellness holistically for the best results.

Back when people actually watched American Idol, one of the classic mistakes a contestant could make was covering Whitney Houston. The judges would always caution singers, tell them that there was no way their versions could stack up to the original. (Maybe they still do this? It's been a while since I watched that show.) So credit Sam Smith with having a lot of balls. The British soul singer, who has already gone head-to-head with Mary J. Blige, covered Whitney's 1985 single "How Will I Know" during a recent Sirius XM session. And Smith fared well, mostly because he switched up the uptempo song into a soft dirge, with his tender voice accompanied only by piano. Watch Smith's version below.
Smith's album In The Lonely Hour is out now on Capitol.
