Our retirement expectations are unsustainable. Warren Buffet forecast this already in 1975 [1]. By 2014 he was describing the impact on public sector finances as a "giant financial tapeworm" [2]. The thing about tapeworms is that left untreated you can live with them for a long time, before they suddenly make you sick. Or dead.

Guest Blog: Doctor Tony Rao – Older people and alcohol: Our hidden generation
In March 2013, The General Lifestyle Survey showed that between 2005 and 2013, the percentage of men drinking 8 or more units of alcohol (the equivalent of 4 or more pints of normal strength beer) on any one day in the past week had changed by only 5% in the 65 and over age group. This compares to reductions of 30%, 19% and 12% in the 16-24, 22-44 and 45-64 age groups respectively. A clearly a worrying trend, helped little by the uncertainty over whether alcohol is friend or foe to public health. Continue reading

Out of the limelight: older people left in the shadows of the data revolution
Since the censuses of ancient times, policy makers have relied on data. In what the UN is terming a data revolution, technological advancement now means that we have more information than ever at our fingertips. Bigger datasets covering more people and more topics have the potential to highlight the experiences of previously marginalised groups. Indeed, the UN Secretary General's High Level Panel of Eminent Persons has proposed that data be disaggregated 'by gender, geography, income, disability and other categories to ensure that no-one is left behind'.

The silent challenge: Overemployment facing the over 50s
New analysis suggests that a high proportion of older workers are locked into working long hours against their will, some of whom have long-term health problems
This week we published a major new report into the employment challenges facing older workers in the UK with the support of PRIME and BITC: The Missing Million: illuminating the Employment Challenges of the Over 50s. While the report has gained publicity regarding the potential economic benefit of preventing early exit from the labour market, there is a critical challenge highlighted by the research that deserves more attention – overemployment.
7 lessons from the Missing Million
Yesterday we published our Missing Million report with the support of Prime and Business in the Community.
What did we find?
Let's get Britain building
There are perhaps not too many areas where the CBI, the Ready for Ageing Alliance, housing developers, and Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives all agree.
But one of them is that we need to build more homes.

I finished my class, and promptly came home to a HUGEMONGOUS headache.
Thankfully, Drew let me take a little nap and I'm feeling better.
Perhaps I'll do some pictures of my fine beading another time.
It rained here today.
First time ever, on July 18th, word on the radio this am.
It's so rare for a first anymore.
I don't think I should write blogs pumped-up on tylenol anymore.
BUT, I do have to say that I am meeting my life-long blog friend Lara tomorrow. Now coincidences of coincidences is Lara and my story. She saw my blog off of 2P's (scrapbook website) and I saw hers, and I noticed that she'd had 2 or 3 blogs on almost the exact same topics as my blog, so we started emailing, turns out she married a guy I knew in high school and I married Drew, and he's a guy they both knew in college. Anyway, isn't it a small world?
Lara and I only had a chance meeting at Brick Oven last summer, but they're spending their anniversary in the bay and have deemed us important enough to spend a night with. We're going to Absinthe and then to the symphony. So, we're going from talking daily online (and by daily, I mean all day every day, almost — when she went into the hospital with extremem morning sickness, I still called her, because I needed my Lara fix) to a real date.
It's even a grown-up date, I am very excited.

Early literacy experts would like to see less focus on "getting kids ready for kindergarten" and more emphasis on understanding children's literacy lives to build on what they already know about language.
As Irene Fountas, professor of education at Lesley University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, puts it, "I would be more inclined to say that the kindergarten should get ready for the child."
Fountas, who is co-author of Guided Reading: Good First Teaching for All Children, explains that educational programs shouldn't assume all children will bring the same skills to the classroom, but should aim to meet children where they are. "Competencies in oral language and knowledge of literacies" will vary among any group of 20 kindergarteners, she says.
"This notion of getting the children ready is a difficult concept for me because I think what all families try to do is to give children as many language and literacy opportunities as their lives will allow, but then it's up to the school to be sure that the kindergarten experience builds on differences and therefore levels the playing field for children. So, if they do bring things that are different--for example, if they haven't been read to a lot, don't know a lot about letters, or don't know how to write their name--the kindergarten experience will offer all children the opportunity to develop those abilities."
Gay Su Pinnell, professor emeritus at Ohio State University, Columbus, and Fountas's co-author on Guided Reading, explains that "a visual discrimination of letters, awareness of sounds in words, and the language of stories" are three important things to work on in terms of early literacy.
She says students who know these things will have an advantage when it comes to school literacy, but she too would prefer that people "stop thinking about getting ready for kindergarten." For her, the ideal is making literacy a part of children's earliest memories. This includes "participating in stories and the incredible power that comes from taking a crayon or a marker and actually making a mark on a piece of paper."
If children also have ample opportunity to do such things as spell words using refrigerator magnets, she says, "they'll be ready for kindergarten because print will be meaningful and they'll have very high expectations of it."
Pinnell suggests capitalizing on students' out-of-school lives by working their familiar environments and the print they encounter into schoolroom play. This might mean creating "little house corners with menus, places where students can pretend to read the newspaper, [and] giving books to dolls in cribs."
The idea, she says, is to use whatever is in the neighborhood or familiar to kids and then call attention to the letters, words, and numbers. This will help children notice them more when they're out in the world. "I think incorporating literacy into play is so easy to do and so different from those drill computer things where you just drill on the sounds. I'm not against computers, but the more kids can see literacy as part of everyday life, the better."
Jean Anne Clyde and other members of NCTE's Early Childhood Issues Committee likewise stress that young children are highly capable literacy learners who are often underestimated. Too often, the other "teachers" in their lives are also underestimated.
Clyde, who chairs the committee, says her group believes it's vitally important to honor the various forms and styles of literacy teaching and learning that occur outside of school. This means working to understand children's home cultures and using that understanding to build bridges between home and school.
A committee member, Cari Buckner, who is a first- and second-grade teacher at Bloomington Elementary School in Saint George, Utah, explains, "A good teacher will build upon the knowledge and expertise that a child brings with him or her into the classroom. The curriculum should be determined by the needs of the child instead of something found in a teacher's manual."
Laura Westberg, another committee member who is a senior project manager for the National Center for Family Literacy in Louisville, Kentucky, says educators should "be careful of making assumptions about what families know or don't know." It's crucial, she believes, to establish personal relationships with families through family visits or informal conversations to provide insight into children's interests and strengths.
Committee member Susi Long, associate professor of early childhood education at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, emphasizes that, "while story-reading is certainly helpful, we should be careful not to deify the bedtime story at the expense of other ways that children are supported as literacy learners. We see children emerging as literate through engagement in a wide range of literacy acts that accompany their purposeful interactions with others: passing down oral stories and traditions; interactions and rituals in church, mosque, and synagogue; engaging in community functions; and so on. When we do not learn what is happening in homes and communities, we miss important understandings that can help us transform our work in classrooms."
Speaking on behalf of the committee, Clyde summarizes, "We're troubled that rather than viewing kindergarten as a time where young children can learn about literacy, schools are now expecting kids to have mastered literacy 'skills' as prerequisites for kindergarten. We're advocates of a broader perspective on literacy, one that recognizes and values multiple paths to becoming literate."
Clyde believes an overemphasis on testing and isolated skill instruction send confusing messages to young children about what's important related to literacy. "We want to make sure the kids enjoy literacy and that they understand its many purposes and its power." She says the committee champions a literacy "where kids have choices and their voices are respected, where they learn literacy skills while they use literacy to take action on problems and issues, where they understand that literacy is a tool for impacting the world."
Vivian Vasquez, assistant professor at American University, Washington, D.C., and a former elementary school teacher of 14 years, says the problem with the focus on "readiness" is that often it's code for focusing primarily on phonics instruction.
"This," she explains, "is very different from building a curriculum based on the issues and questions that are important to children. Children need to be able to do more than break the phonics code."
Referring to the work of Allan Luke, Peter Freebody, and Hilary Janks, she says in addition to "understanding the codes of language and culture," students need to "participate with texts, use texts in meaningful ways, and engage in rich analysis of texts that includes taking up issues of diversity, domination, access, and design, which are elements of a critical literacy curriculum."
Vasquez, whose books include Literacy as Social Practice: Primary Voices K-6; Negotiating Critical Literacies with Young Children; and Getting Beyond "I Like the Book": Creating Space for Critical Literacy in K-6 Classrooms, also contends that the first step toward building meaningful literacy experiences for young children is finding out what's important to them. This requires "taking note of their talk, the everyday issues and texts they bring to the classroom, keeping an eye on the questions they ask, the connections they make, and then finding ways of negotiating these into the curriculum.
"I believe doing the work I'm suggesting here brings the curriculum to life, and a curriculum that is alive with the issues, topics, and interests of children would more than likely result in producing learners who are able to use their literacy skills to do important life work."

Submitted by alvin on Tue, 2016-03-29 14:53 Colombo: The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has announced that it has signed an agreement with Sri Lanka to lend Rs. 56 billion to expand the country's main international airport in Colombo. The agency said it will fund building a new passenger terminal at the Bandaranaike International Airport which suffers congestion from growing tourism, reports Lanka page. The new passenger terminal building is planned to be opened in 2020 and will enable handling of 15 million passengers a year, more than doubling the present capacity and ease the congestion. The terminal would use solar energy and recycled water from a sewage plant for the flushing of toilets. It will be built according to modern and international as well as civil aviation services standards. The project would be developed based on the concept of (an) eco-airport with Japanese advanced technology and know-how, JICA said. The Bandaranaike International Airport handled 8.5 million passengers in 2015 and exceeded its capacity of 6 million passengers per annum while tourist arrivals to the country steadily increased since the end of the war in 2009, reaching nearly 1.8 million in 2015. Vice President of JICA Hidetoshi Irigaki and the Chairman of the Airports and Aviation Service Company S. Saman Ediriweera in the presence of Minister of Transport Nimal Siripala de Silva signed the agreement to provide a Rs. 49 billion line of credit for the project which is estimated to cost Rs. 82 billion.(ANI)

The Blast traveled to Missouri on Sunday afternoon for game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. In a hard fought game by both teams the Blast defeated the Comets to move on to the MASL Championship Series. The final score was 10-7.
The game got off to a slow start with only one goal recorded in the opening quarter. The Missouri Comets scored the first goal of the game when Kiel Williams found the back of the net at the 10:47 mark assisted Max Touloute. At the end of the first the Comets led 2-0.
The second quarter turned into a shootout with 6 goals recorded before the half. The Blast tied the game with a goal from Mike Deasel assisted by Adauto Neto. Baltimore's leading scorer Lucas Roque gave the Blast the lead with a goal assisted by Levi Houpeau. After a Comet's penalty, Tony Donatelli scored at the 11:44 mark off an assist by Lucio Gonzaga for the 3rd straight Blast goal. The Comets answered when Alain Matingou recorded a goal vutting the Blast lead to 1. The Blast would answer when Onua Obasi gained possession at the top of the arc and hit a rocket shot past the Comets goalkeeper. Obasi's 10th goal of the season was assisted by Adauto Neto. With only one second left in the half Comet's defender John Sosa was able to score making it a 1 point game. At the half the Blast led 4-3.
In the second half both teams came out aggressive with fast paced action. The Blast began the quarter by converting on their second powerplay opportunity. Vini Dantas recorded his 17th goal of the season etending the Blast lead to 2. The Comets would answer with back to back goals of their own. Bryan Perez and Josh Gardner recorded the Comets goals to tie the game at 5. Vini Dantas answered for the Blast with his second goal of the game at the 12:02 mark giving the Blast the lead back. With seconds remaining in the quarter Pat Healey, who leads the Blast in assists, sent a great ball off a restart to Tony Donatelli for a goal. The Blast went into the final quarter leading 7-5.
Both teams came out with high intensity during the fourth quarter. Vini Dantas completed the hat trick at the 10:03 mark putting the Blast up by 3. The Comets would battle back with goals from Josh Gardner and Leo Gibson making it a one point game with minutes to go. The Blast defense stepped up along with goalkeeper William Vanzela to seal a Blast victory. Adriano Dos Santos and Levi Houpeau would both score empty net goals in the final minute of the game making the final score 10-7.
The Blast move to 21-2 on the season and 3-0 in the playoffs. The Blast were led offensively by Vini Dantas who recorded 3 goals on the night and Tony Donatelli who scored 2. Blast captain Pat Healey drew the tough task of defending the potential league MVP Leo Gibson and in 2 games Healey kept Gibson in check. Goalkeeper of the year candidate William Vanzela recorded 24 saves and improves to 17-2. Vanzela and the defense had a remarkable series against a high powered Comets offense.
The Blast advance to the MASL Championship series and will face the winner of the Las Vegas Legends and Monterrey Flash series which concludes tonight. More information regarding series dates and times will be announced at the conclusion of the Western Conference Championship.

I just got back from a great weekend camping at Bear Lake. I was at S. Eden campground on the East side of the lake. I got one good session in on Friday - 8.5M sail, 151L board, but it was very up and down and off shore. While the wind was not great, the lake was gorgeous.
Can anyone share what the prevailing winds are? What months are good, and where are the best launches for each wind direction?

I dipped my feet under the sunset light. There's a shadow from the time we spent here years ago. Occasional walk on a hot June evening, watching the waves and the lights turn from the distance boats, or waiting for the dolphins to show themselves. Whatever the reason was. The shadow wasn't a burden and the memories weren't haunting. There's a pang of agony, a nostalgic image, and a familiar smell. If there's a word to describe this feeling - this feeling of lost, with boxes of a happy memory of knowing that someone who now has gone loved you unconditionally. But still, you can't help your heart from hurting, and you're okay with it.

Beginning in the early 1980s the United States entered a period of deregulation. The trend began in the Telecommunications Industry but spread to a wide range of industries including Transportation and Financial Services.
Deregulation, in the early 1980s, was touted as an effective way to create greater competition and efficiency within an industry, and thus lower prices to the consumer while increasing quality of service. Government control within the business sector would only lead to inefficiency. Communist regimes throughout the world from the USSR to Cuba were examples of how too much government involvement and bureaucracy stifles business development.
The movement towards deregulation began in the Telecommunications Industry as AT&T was viewed as a large monopoly that was stifling competition. The Airline Industry was the second industry to be deregulated. In their book The Evolution of the Airline Industry authors Steven A. Morrison and Clifford Winston point out that excessive passenger fares was at the heart of the Airline Deregulation Act in 1978.
Deregulation would lead to greater competition and efficiency within an industry and thus, lower prices to the consumer while increasing quality of service.
In its July issue, Consumer Reports offers a harsh review of government deregulation in the airline, telephone, banking, cable TV, and electricity industries. CR associate editor Jeff Blyskal claims, "Our research concluded that while consumers have made some gains under deregulation, on balance they've lost ground." The article acknowledges that inflation-adjusted airfares fell 37 percent in the 20+ years since the industry's 1978 deregulation. However, it also states that airfares fell just as much and just as fast in the 20 years preceding the deregulation of the industry. Furthermore, the Airline Industry was dominated in 1978 by four major carriers (United, American, Delta, and Trans World). Today, although there are many airlines, only seven airlines dominate the market with market share above 6.5% (Delta, United, American, Southwest, US Air, Northwest, and Continental). So has deregulation led to a ...

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I have found that Shyvanna is an amazing jungler. This comes from her E, Burnout. This makes her a very quick jungler, because she can position herself in the middle of all the creeps, and kill them with her AOE.
The runes I choose, I choose because they make her a powerhouse, both in lane, and in the jungle. The Armor Pen. marks and quints are to make her early game damage output a lot higher, and allow her to gank a lot smoother. The Armor seals are to increase her sustainability in the early jungling stage, allowing her to maximize her time in between recalls. The MR glyphs serve the same purpose as the seals.
Shyvanna has a weird mastery page. Since she is a jungler, I choose increased smite, along with the armor and MR bonuses from Defense. Then I take blink of an I, and increased gold & Neutral buff duration so my ganks mean more to me, and allow for more gold income.

The City of Raleigh Flag
About a week ago, Josh Shaffer at the N&O wrote a piece about what could be the new icon for Raleigh. He suggests that the now open Nature Research Center's 70-foot globe needs consideration for that title. The bronze acorn and the shimmer wall were other landmarks mentioned but I'm going to throw the City of Raleigh flag into the mix. Yes, Raleigh has a flag and in case you haven't seen it this post will take care of that. The flag should always be considered one of our core symbols and I don't think we give it enough love.
In other cities, the flag is a sense of pride. Chicago and Washington DC have great flags and if you're lucky, you may find citizens with tattoos of it. (anyone in Raleigh can claim having this?)
In 2004, the North American Vexillological Association did a survey against 150 US city flags. Respondents answered on a 0 to 10 scale on what they thought were a well designed flags. We ranked 56 on that list, highest North Carolina city by the way, so flag design may not be a huge feather in our cap.
Still, I want to ask this question; Why are there so few Raleigh flags around town?
The Raleigh flag design is over 100 years old but has an interesting history that may explain it's rather nonexistent role in our city.

The City of Raleigh flag has a nice, mysterious story to it as its original purpose was not made for the city at all. The most influential event on this would be during the Battle of Manila Bay on May 1, 1898 as part of the Spanish-American War.
The USS Raleigh (second US ship named after the city at the time) played a key role in the fighting in the Philippines and back at home, the local newspapers kept Raleighites enthralled with stories of victory at Manila Bay. Thomas R. Jernigan, a former Raleigh resident who was representing the United States in China at the time wrote home saying:
tell Mayor [William M.] Russ she was in the thickest of the fight and came out in excellent shape. The Raleigh is a splendid vessel, and may be counted on to do her share of the fighting in this war."
The cruiser would stay in Asia for a bit longer returning back to the United States with a stop in New York in April of 1899. The city sent representatives there for the national welcoming reception for the ship.
At the same time that month, the Raleigh Board of Aldermen (what is now a version of our current city council) decided to give a city flag as a gift to the cruiser. A flag had not existed at the time and so began the process in creating one. A special committee was formed for this specific purpose.
First, color was needed. The colors of red and yellow were adopted for the city's centennial (1892) however for the flag, these two colors were seen as "too Spanish" and not used. Sir Walter Raleigh's colors of red and white were chosen instead and described as "the colors emblematic of Raleigh."
The Board of Aldermen then contracted Miss Kate Denson to design the flag for a fee of $50. Her flag consisted of three colored, vertical stripes (red, white, red) with unique designs on each side. On one side, the flag contained a figure of an oak tree inside a gold circle with the words "City of Raleigh, North Carolina, 1792" all surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and acorns. The other side contains the Sir Walter Raleigh coat of arms with the words, "Presented to the U.S. Cruiser Raleigh, the 'First and Last at Manila.'"
While Miss Denson was contracted in April 1899, other events with the ship were ongoing.
News that the ship would next make a stop in Wilmington, North Carolina quickly spread and Raleigh made big plans for a welcome party in the port city. In addition, there was news that the ship's officers and crew were going to present "a gun captured at Manila" as a gift to the city. The "Nordenfeldt 3-pounder" was given to the city on May 5, 1899 and then again the day after at a more formal ceremony.
Miss Denson's flag was not ready in time and Attorney R. N. Simms, spokesman for the city, made an announcement at the ceremony that "a handsome flag of the new city colors" would be later delivered.
It's not proven whether the flag ever made it to the ship because the USS Raleigh was decommissioned in June and Miss Denson would complete the flag in October. That month, the 43″ x 69″ flag with gilded fringes all around flew at the North Carolina State Fair. The flag was officially presented to the Board of Alderman on December 1, 1899. Satisfied with her work, they contracted with her for a second flag for the City of Raleigh. No records exist whether this flag still had the Manila Bay reference like the original did.
Here's where the mystery starts to settle in.
The USS Raleigh was recommissioned during the periods of 1903-1907 and 1911-1919. No records exist proving the flag ever flew on the ship.
In 1938, one of these two flags was lent to the next USS Raleigh (third US ship named after Raleigh) in order to be copied. Upon return, then City Clerk J. E. Sawyer noted that it was "now nearly worn out." This left Raleigh with one remaining flag.
The mystery is now in full effect as no mention or public record of the flag has been found after 1938.
In 1960, the flag resurfaced. William Carper, the City Manager at the time, found one of the flags in a storage area within City Hall. Talks of making the flag official for the city started and during that same year the city council adopted the design as the "authentic flag of the city."
Restoring the uncovered flag was an eleven year process and it returned to Raleigh in 1980 where it was on display at City Hall.
On the flag's 100th birthday, 1999, the flag was given to the Raleigh City Museum.
Back to the present
Today, the flag found in 1960 is still on display at the city museum with a recently updated exhibit. Along with much more information than provided here, the exhibit has a nice artist rendering of the second USS Raleigh.
So how does one get a copy of our city flag?
City of Raleigh flags outside of Joel Lane's Public House
My research has fallen rather flat as the flag is a custom design and is pretty costly for someone to get through a flag shop. Where's the local vexillographer at anyway?
The city does have a stash of custom made flags for sale in case someone is interested. For $98, you can get a 4′ x 6′ flag to show your pride. Talk to Barbara at the city Public Affairs office (919-996-3001) to make arrangements.
Who will be the first to step up and make the Raleigh flag available for the masses? If anyone is interested in city branding, this could be a topic to expand on.
Amazing coincidence! I was just thinking this morning about how Raleigh needs to update its flag. I'm considering pitching some ideas to city council very soon.
Here are a few of my thoughts on the topic:
Let's work together, Leo, on getting Raleigh a flag it can be proud of!
[…] Leo Suarez of the Raleigh Connoisseur has some similar thoughts on Raleigh's flag that I've had. I think the time might be ripe to update the city flag and get something we can all be proud to fly! In other cities, the flag is a sense of pride. Chicago and Washington DC have great flags and if you're lucky, you may find citizens with tattoos of it. (anyone in Raleigh can claim having this?) […]
Great idea. In fact, I proposed this a few years ago: http://raleighphilosociety.blogspot.com/2008/06/small-suggestion-cover-raleigh-in-flags.html
To me, as you mentioned, most of the "great" cities fly their flags. Raleigh should be no different.
Great post Leo.
No new flag needed – we have one. It has history and a great back story. Hope to see it flying around more.
I love the current flag too! In fact I tried to purchase one about 5-6 years ago but ran into the same issues and would've had to custom design and order from the Glenwood South flag store. ($$$!) I remember when I went in to ask about it, the lady had mentioned it was a pretty common request and that the City did not allow her to stock them. Very awesome that the City has some for sale now!
DC's flag is a huge civic pride and I always thought it was cool how the DC United Barra Brava supporters section would wave a bunch of them at games!
Great article! We didn't even know you could buy a Raleigh flag or we probably would have bought one already. Thanks for the info on who to contact.
Also, in case you are interested in the history of the USS Raleigh ships, you can read more about them here:

Thanks again for a great post!

Thanks for blogging this. I think the current flag design is good, why reinvent it?
This would be a good project for someone to do on Kickstarter. I'd pay $20-30 for one.
Does anyone know what is going on with the pathetic L Building? Empire EATS (this group only likes to eat, they should not be in the development business) builds a half ass ugly building, now it has been sitting there for how many years? Just an eyesore.
Empire getting money for food service, but leave this ugly building for us to continue to look at everyday.
City Council needs to do something about this yesterday.
Also, that sad looking property next to the Clarion circular hotel in downtown Raleigh, guess who owns that, Empire. The city needs to force them to sell that to a REAL developer. What an awful sight that lot has been for more than 25 years.
So called developers like this should be thrown out of Raleigh (stick to eating food)
Terry, although this is not the topic of this thread, and just because I share some of your frustration with regards to the slow process of development, I will say that Empire Properties, while great in redeveloping older properties and opening eateries, they don't seem to have the deep pockets that other developers have. Believe me, it is more frustrating to them looking at their properties, "sitting" there empty.
The city cannot do much about the L Building because the land belongs to Wake County and it is the county leaders that must move forward with a decision. Naturally, there is no pressure for them to decide against Empire Properties developing the rest of the property. Besides, who else is going to jump into this deal now that the final form of the structure has already been decided. The problem is that no credible developer jumped into this opportunity a few years ago. This site was ideal for something above 20 stories, with integrated parking deck.
Now, if you want to be frustrated, look at The Edison (Phase One). THIS is a pathetic excuse of a development and Gregg – for whom I have great respect – should be ashamed for even proposing this crap. While Phase Two is a far better proposition, given the economy, Phase One is something that the city leaders should stop before it even goes for discussion.
Sorry, comments have been archived. Please continue the discussion on the DTRaleigh Community.

When 9-year-old Alison Woods of Ellicott City sat down at her computer eight months ago and wrote a letter to someone, somewhere in China, she had no idea whether the letter would ever arrive or who would receive it.
Last week, she found out.
In November 1990, Alison and 11 other third-graders at Waverly Elementary School responded to an offer from their teacher, Darlene G. Thomas. If any of her students wanted to write to children in China, Thomas' parents, Clarence and Betty Garrett, would try to find recipients for the letters during a vacation trip that month.
Mr. and Mrs. Garrett gave the letters to their tour guide, whose sister taught at the primary school Beijing Zhong Guan Cun. Months passed, the school year ended, and then, early this month, Thomas received a packet of letters from children at the school.

Hillary Clinton has made her sharpest attack so far on Barack Obama, signalling a week of bruising campaigning ahead as she tries to salvage her bid for the White House.
The former First Lady lost her temper after being shown two pamphlets distributed by the Obama campaign in Ohio: one about her health care policy, the other about her support for Nafta, the free trade agreement signed by her husband, Bill, when president and now loathed by blue collar workers.
At an impromptu press conference, Mrs Clinton held the fliers aloft and declared: "Every Democrat in Ohio ought to be outraged. Shame on you, Barack Obama.
"Meet me in Ohio. Let's have a debate about your tactics and your behaviour in this campaign.
"Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics that are right out of Karl Rove's playbook," she added, referring to President George W Bush's former strategist who specialised in negative campaigning.
The two Democrats will go head to head in primaries in Ohio and Texas on March 4, which Bill Clinton has admitted could determine whether his wife carries on or bows out of the race.
Her camp has been divided about how to tackle Mr Obama, the charismatic but inexperienced senator who has dazzled voters across America and opened up a convincing lead after winning 11 consecutive primary contests.
Last Thursday, she claimed to be "honoured" to campaign against her rival, but all civility now seems to have been discarded.
In a speech in Cincinnati on Saturday, she mocked Mr Obama's mantra of "change", comparing it to Mr Bush's pre-election promises to reform Washington. President Bush, she said, "had promised change as a compassionate conservative and the American people got shafted".
In response, Mr Obama suggested there was something "tactical" about her attack on the leaflets, given that they had been sent out several days ago. He added: "There's nothing in them that's factually inaccurate."
Reaction among voters has not been positive.
"What Hillary Clinton says just seems like dirty politics. Obama offers a very positive message," said Roshay Malone, a child-care business owner from Milwaukee. "Clinton's just too polarising. Obama is able to inject some enthusiasm into the process," added Bryan Hale, a land surveyor.
The danger for the Clinton camp is all their previous offensives on Mr Obama have backfired, partly because of his refusal to rise to the bait.
Bill Clinton's description last month of the Obama campaign as a "fairy tale", hurt her chances among black voters in South Carolina. Negative television advertisements about the Illinois senator's decision to accept only two out of five invitations to take part in televised debates did nothing to avert defeat in Wisconsin last week.
Mark Penn, Mrs Clinton's chief strategist, has, for now, won the internal debate to be more aggressive.
He said Mrs Clinton would robustly stress she is better prepared than Mr Obama to be commander-in-chief, to manage the economy and to defeat John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee.
However, after nearly 14 months of stressful 14-hour days, bitter rows have broken out among senior staffers about strategy and presentation.
The candidate herself is now said to often sound philosophical in conversation, no longer saying "when I'm president" but using phrases like "when this is all over".

Ben Affleck Won't Be Muscled In Final Trailer For 'Live By Night'
By now we've seen many of the movies that will likely end up nominees for a Best Picture Oscar, but one we have yet to see is Ben Affleck's crime drama, Live by Night. Considering his track record as a director it has to be seen as a favorite, and Warner Bros. wants to remind you of that with this new trailer.
Affleck directs and stars in the adaptation of Dennis Lehane's book set in the roaring '20s and centering on Joe Coughlin, a former WWI vet and son of a Boston cop. Despite all of that he stands opposed to the law, breaking Prohibition with a criminal enterprise that stretches down to Florida.
There's every reason to have high expectations here. The cinematography by Robert Richardson is gorgeous, the cast is phenomenal, and Affleck seems to be hitting all of the right notes of the gangster era. This could be great.
Also starring Sienna Miller, Elle Fanning, Brendan Gleeson, Chris Messina, Zoe Saldana and Chris Cooper, Live by Night opens Christmas Day.

This is a beautiful, brilliant gemstone, with a diamond like (adamantine) luster and fire that is even greater than in diamond. Orders began trickling in, contrary to what most critics thought of as a weird but dead-end fashion statement. Where sunglasses were once seen exclusively as a cool fashion accessory (though sports glasses did exist with Ray Ban's polarization filters since the 1930's), Oakley has made sports eyewear into a technological marvel.
Next to the diamond, there is no gem that has fascinated mankind more than pearl. On the other hand if you are a non techie or just don't like the idea of buying jewelry online you may want to consider enrolling in one of the discount buyer clubs like Costco or Sam's Wholesale.

My grandmother's earliest memory is of watching the sun's rays dance off the face of the beautiful antique bracelet, as her mother rocked back and forth in her old rocking chair in her small village.

It is no surprise to see how the younger generation has taken to using bracelets to tell their own personal stories.

Federal News Roundup
Federal programs designed to improve the health and education of children have saved taxpayers millions of dollars in the long run, a new report by the House Select Committee on Children, Youth, and Families concludes.
The report synthesizes existing research on eight programs initiated during the Great Society era, including Chapter 1 aid to disadvantaged children, Head Start, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, and the Job Corps. According to the committee, the research "demonstrates the proven success and cost-effectiveness" of federal efforts to help impoverished children.
"The fact is that we already know enough to use public policy to benefit children, and to do so in a way that returns funds to the federal treasury," the committee said. "We have not, however, reached millions of the children who are eligible for, and could benefit from, these programs."
Most of the programs included in the study have been targeted at various times by the Reagan Administration for budget reductions, conversion to block grants, or outright elimination.
Each of three major tax-reform proposals before the Congress would benefit families with children, but low- and middle-income families with child-care expenses are better off under current law, according to a new report.
The study, conducted by the House Select Committee on Children, Youth, and Families, analyzes the impact of tax reform on seven types of families.
According to the study, the Reagan Administration plan, rates as most favorable to families with children overall, and is most fair to low-income families, while a plan sponsored by Senator Bill Bradley and Representative Richard A. Gephardt, both Democrats, is fairest to average-income families and married couples in general. Large families, single-parent families, and families with two earners would benefit most from a plan sponsored by Republican lawmakers Jack F. Kemp and Bob Kasten.
But according to the study, "each proposal is worse than current law in providing support for average- and low-income families using child care," with the result that "most families using child care will have fewer resources to meet this expense."
Current tax law, however, was rated least equitable for families overall. According to the report, the average American family with children pays more than $7,000 in taxes each year, more than half of which goes to the federal government.

Celebrity life can be a rotten business
Gordon Ramsay is on his knees in the back alley, spewing up rancid food. "They've just tried their best to kill me with a rotten scallop." It's a risky business being a celebrity chef these days.
Speaking from his home in London months later, the memory of that dodgy shellfish is still vivid: "Scallops rot from the inside out, so it wasn't until it was in my throat and halfway down that I realised. That guy was a lethal weapon."
"That guy" was a young chef Ramsay attempted to reform in his Kitchen Nightmares series. But in the end, while the restaurant was saved, the chef was beyond help.
The idea for the series is simple. There's a call from a restaurant in dire straits, weeks or maybe only days away from going under. Enter the London chef with three Michelin stars to save the day. Ramsay gives himself a tight deadline to work out what's going wrong and start fixing it.
We revisit the restaurants a month later to see if the new order has stuck, or if thing go pear-shaped without Ramsay to hold their hands.
For a change, this is food on the telly without the glamour, gloss and happy patter we've become used to in the plethora of cooking on TV.
In the Yorkshire restaurant that served up the rotten scallop and "off" black pudding, Ramsay finds the fridges awash with mould and slush, and fruit and vegetables covered in fur.
Ramsay does not spring smiling on to the screen; he is here to crack the whip, to get the kitchen working again.
He doesn't look like most of the celebrity chefs we've seen; he is short and stocky with a squashed-looking face. And then there is the language. Since Boiling Point (1998) - the fly-on-the-wall documentary about Ramsay's own performance in the kitchen - he has become famous for his temper and bad language.
Here is Ramsay in Kitchen Nightmares to the head chef who dished up the infamous scallops: "This is the f pits. Rock bottom. I've never seen anything like this in my entire f life. This is a f embarrassment to catering."
Ramsay makes no apologies for debunking some of the myths about what goes on in commercial kitchens: "It's not the way I talk to my wife or the children. I'm not trying to cover up or give you any bullshit that it's glamorous, it's not. It's a kitchen and it's not going to change."
Ramsay is not a fan of most television cooking shows. While he is complimentary about Jamie Oliver and Rick Stein, he says most of the chefs we see on the box are pushing a fantasy image of kitchens as funky, friendly places. "Ninety-nine per cent of the chefs in our country are so jumped up."
Funnily enough, the chef who dished up that rotten scallop aspired to his own cooking show.
If people take one thing away from Kitchen Nightmares, apart from a queasy stomach, Ramsay hopes it will be the message never to take the customers for granted. "If we in this industry are constantly thinking about ourselves instead of what our customers want, we're in big trouble."
Ramsay grew up wanting to play professional football. After a leg injury forced him off the field, he began searching for a new job. The more he learnt about food in cooking studies, the more he loved it.
"The biggest appeal was the freedom that food had; the chance to travel, never two days the same . . . To be a doctor, you study for eight or nine years; this was longer."
He had a tough upbringing and has experienced more sadness with his brother Ronnie battling drug problems.
Now 37, Ramsay has four young children with his wife Tana. Despite the hellish chef's hours and his extensive business commitments, he makes it clear that he puts great importance on his involvement with his family: "Eating at the table with the children three or four times a week is absolutely crucial."
Starting out at catering school with his leg in plaster and his head still full of football, Ramsay could never have imagined his success. His Chelsea restaurant Gordon Ramsay has earned three Michelin stars, he has four other London restaurants and will travel to New York within days to check on a possible site for a planned Manhattan venture. His business turns over £40 million a year.
The chef is also enjoying huge ratings in Britain with Hell's Kitchen, where he tries to mould 10 celebrities into cooks.
Asked if he could be spreading himself too thin, Ramsay is quick to give credit to his team - of about 850 staff!
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares screens at 9.30pm on Tuesdays on Channel Seven.

In the shower this morning, with sparkling water falling on my head I reflected on all the people in the World who lack this essential for life and also on the huge effort that women have to make to locate and carry, often dirty water for their family needs. Suddenly the following memory flashed back to light
It was late evening in a remote village in Doroba, about 35km from home, but every one of them over tracks with backbreaking craters and not for the fainthearted. We were on a preschool-day where we were meeting whole communities and Mary was outlining the benefits of preschools and what we were requiring them to contribute to the process. She was doing all the work while Nicole, Kate and Aoife and myself were just making up the numbers!! This was the last of four preschool groups, so we were all ready for home. We were just taking the final group photograph of the day when this old lady approached me. She was probably sixty but looked ninety. She said "can you come to look at our pumps now"? I was hot, tired, hungry, my poor bones ached and I was all set to do the scary drive back home. Now I needed a quick lie!!. In a flash I replied that the women were tired and they had to rush. But she interjected, "you promised". "You promised last week that the next time you came you would look at where we get our water, and we're all here" (about 20 of them, all women). Well if I promised, I promised. I looked closely at this, probably sick, half starved bundle of bones, thought of my 85 year old mother and said hop in, as I made place in the front seat for her.
I asked "where do we go", knowing that we were at the end of the line, the end of what had any resemblance to a road. They pointed, "just, over there", along a goat track where a few already wrecked, ancient brick lorries, had flattened the small trees and grass. Now this was the real wilderness, I had no Harisen, so I'm on my own with a group of possessed women. Four kilometres later we arrived at over there. I thought: With a quick turnaround all would be well, but no such luck.
I know if Harisen was there he would probably drive all the way to the pump location, but he wasn't and probably having his dinner by now. So off we go led by this rejuvenated auld one, running and jumping over gorges like a kid goat. Where is it: "Just over these trees", but when we arrive there was another landmark and then another up hills and down, following these crazy women.
After about 1km, I sat and thought, should I continue or go back. I was dead, but they came, pulled me to my feet, and said quietly, "It's not too far now". Well it wasn't, not for them: just another kilometre. We saw where she wanted her well. We planned what was to be done. She had no problem with things like the size, the digging, carrying bricks sand and stones, as long as we would bring the pump and cement They all prayed and danced and sang while telling me that there would be ten pumps in all, which was great for us, when all could be done together.
As we hiked back they told me that God would reward me. "What God"? I replied, "there's no God", I said, because if there was, He wouldn't have me out here, in this godforsaken place, with you crowd of mad people. The just fell apart laughing and took turns pulling me up the hills, making the path and minding me.
They are wonderful people, I love then, They're God's own people, and that's how much they want clean water.
I haven't been back but I'm told that they all have clean, safe drinking water now, all two thousand or so. Of course they'll thank God, not me, but that's not a bad deal.
When I returned, Mary and the gang were really tired, thought I had been kidnapped, or led astray. They slept on the journey back despite the undulations.
I will think before I promise in the future Well, No I won't.

Dr. K. Charles Kim is an OC Plastic Surgeon offering thigh lift surgery at his Orange County surgical suites in California. Done as an out-patient procedure, this type of surgery is also known as thighplasty.
A thighlift can be performed on both men and women. It is used to remove both excess skin as well as fat from the patient's inner or outer thighs. This results in thinner, firmer and more shapely aesthetically-pleasing legs. The outer thighlift is very similar to a hiplift, diminishing or even eliminating excess skin from your hips. This results in a more svelte and shapely physique that is quite pleasing. As a Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Kim performs thighlift procedures as an isolated treatment or as part of a total lower bodylift. As a plastic surgeon, Dr. K. Charles Kim can also perform an inner-thigh lift as a stand-alone surgery to tighten the tissues along your inner thighs effectively.
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is intended to lift and re-sculpt the thigh skin that has become saggy, dimpled and/or unattractive. Many patients who opt for thighplasty have excess skin as a result of significant weight loss. In addition, thighplasty can be a great procedure for those who are simply experiencing the natural effects of aging.
Many of Dr. Ki'ms Orange County patients often choose additional sculpting for other parts of their bodies during the same surgical appointment. Such other procedures include a tummy tuck, Armlift, Buttock lift or bodylift along with a thigh lift. Feel free to discuss these options with Dr. Kim during your complimentary free Plastic Surgery consultation.
There are a number of different methods for performing thighplasty. Depending on the patient's areas of concern, the Dr. Kim's Los Angeles Plastic Surgery Offices offer the following:
Outer (Lateral) Thigh Lift: This surgical procedure tightens both the skin on the front as well as the outside of the thigh area.
Inner (Medial) Thigh Lift: Thighs are very difficult to shape through exercise, especially the inner area. An inner thigh lift involves making an incision along the junction between the thigh and pubic area. It also involves the removal of loose skin and sometimes necessary fat removal as well.
Inner (Medial) Thigh Lift w/ Liposuction: This thighlift method tightens the top of the inner thigh skin. The effects, however, extend further down the inner thigh. This combination often produces better results then simply the lift alone.
A Thighplasty is a major cosmetic surgery. All Thighplasty procedures are performed by Dr. Kim with the patient under a general anesthetic. When the Thighplasty surgical procedure is combined with a liposuction procedure as mentioned above, the entire surgical process can take anywhere from 2 to hours. This time can vary, however, depending on the individual patient. The incision that is made during the procedure is very inconspicuous and is located in the groin area beneath the patient's bikini line. The scar is small and will fade as it heals.

Build Guide by Albahtross
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Urgot Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
The first time I played against Urgot, it was horrendous. Many of us were around level 12 and had no idea how to fight his amazing range and harassing capabilities. When played correctly, he can win pug games with ease (if he has a good team of course.)
Urgot, the Headsman's Pride is a DPS character with skills that make him great for:
Making chases easier
Softening the enemy team before a fight
Wrecking Carries at long distances
Wrecking Carries at short distances
Good damage vs "so called tanks" in the mid game
Marks of Desolation x9
Seal of Clarity x9
Glyph of Focus x9
Quintessence of Desolation x9
These runes provide a wealth of more AP and Cooldown Reduction. The mana regen will help early game and midgame.
Skill Sequence
Passive-Zaun Touched Bolt Augmenter: My favorite passive in this game. Your autos, missilies, and charges will reduce the enemies damage by 15%. One charge can completely reduce their teams damage and it's subtle, so they won't know until they see the numbers. People underestimate it alot.
Acid Hunter: Your long range weapon of choice. Maxed first, main damage.
Terror Capacitor: Staying power in lanes, Extra survivability, a slow, all around great skill.
Noxian Corrosive Charge: Dot, Armor reduce, Lock on for your Acid Hunter. Your Acid hunter locked on can fly pretty much the distance of your fog of war. This skill is maxed last because while the dot is good, the armor reduction is consistent and I think survivability is more important than the dot.
Mercury Treads: Simply the best boots all around.
Manamune: Manumune is horrible for many DPS characters right? Why would this fit Urgot? His mana pool is much larger, meaning larger damage.
Brutalizer: Early game Armor Pen= tanks have a harder time =(
Last Whisper: More Armor Penetration!
Banshee's Veil: More Magic Res so when you Ult, you wont get raped (as much)
Frozen Heart: More Mana!!! Armor helps alot as well
Ghostblade: Not really important like other items so I leave this at the end. Just an upgraded Brutalizer with an ok Active.
Now you may notice that this build doesn't have the super damage items like Infinity's Edge. Why? Much of Urgots damage comes from his Acid Hunters which don't crit. The damage items in this build all apply Armer Penetration which, when combined with runes and his Noxian Corrosive Charge, will bypass a whole lot of armor.
Laning Phase
Start off with a Meki Pendant and the h pot and m pot. You can lane or mid well. Start off last hitting minions with your auto or acid hunter. At level 1, use them simeoultaneously for a 100'ish damage burst
Note: Acid Hunter doesn't pause your Autos. (notice how he has two arms, one missile launching one, and one cannon arm)
When you get to level 2, you are a harassing machine. *Launch Noxian Corrosive charge at at the enemy champs. When it lands, hover your mouse over them and Acid Hunter. Just be careful about your low mana. When you level, this combo will be even more potent, perhaps even lethal. If enemies are hiding in the brush, launch a charge where you think they are and drive them out.
*However, you may wait a bit so your acid hunters do more damage and you don't have to worry about mana draining yourself
When you get your ult, one trick is to get the enemy to your tower and swap them into it. Pop your shield for even more slow and do your main damage combo (charge and missile.) This situation doesn't usually happen because your harassing is devestating them already so if the oppurtunity comes, take it :D.
You can help with ganks by doing the following: Pop your Terror Capacitor and keep up your damage combo. Don't be afraid of adding your auto attack into the mix if they were brave enough to get close to you. Every single one of your skills and attacks will slow the enemy. If they are likely to get away, Ult them (preferably into your teammates) and continue your assault. Remember not to ult them into safety.
When you get Manamune, a minion kill will be maybe 2 autos and one missile.
Team Fights
The heart of every League of Legends game, team fights are the most important things to master. As Urgot, you are the enticer. You do damage before the main fight even starts. When the opponent begins the ritual of indecisively running back in forth, Noxian Corrosive Charge them and launch as many missiles as you wish at them (just don't get too close to their team.) The reason this works so well in PUG games is that commiting is much harder. You'll be able to deal a decent amount of damage to them before the fight even begins. You can halve a carry's health easily this way. The more they stall, the more they get damaged. A rash enemy might foolishly initiate and the rest will follow.
If Ult is up
If the carry decides to get into range, swap em and pop your shield. You'll be able to tank alot of damage and most likely kill their carry because your team will utterly rape him.
If Ult isn't up
When the opponent finally commits, use your damage combo over and over again on their carry and pop a shield whenever you can (you never know when the slow will net your team a kill.) This will cause people to run away in fear of dieing and that is almost as good as a kill. This might get the carry out of the fight. If they get into range of your auto attack and your team is distracting them from you, stay in range and pummel them. Even tanks can fold under this assault (middle game at least.)
Your job in endgame team fights is to ruin their carry's health. If the carry isn't there, go for (in descending importance):
Melee DPS
Know when to run.
Note: You got flash and ghost for a reason. Use it after an ult to escape rape or when you're chasing/escaping.
During the endgame, you will be a tanky, high damage ranged character. Your debuffs may carry your team outright even if you do bad (kills/deaths). Remember to fight smart, and know when to commit. Urgot is an excellent champion; he is the Headman's Pride for a reason
This is my first build, and I'm not an experienced League of Legends player. Any criticism and comments will be much appreciated. Take care!

This school is between six and ten miles up into the mountains and is only accessible by foot and pack animal. It serves preschoolers through the equivalent of 9th or 10th grade ("Troisième, Secondaire"). The Episcopal priest responsible for the school is Père Dejardin Wisnel.
The school has a limited partnership with an Episcopal church in the States named "St. Mark's." Gotta love that. Specifically, St. Mark's Episcopal Church, in Altadena, CA. Here is a picture from the school program that they support at the Latournelle school:St. Mark's Episcopal School--Compassion for the World
Leave me a note on this blog, or write me via the Mission Connections site: Mission Connections
if you think your church might be interested. It would without doubt be a unique mission experience, including seriously physically challenging.

If only South Florida's 50 state lawmakers would join forces to address issues of key regional concern, something significant might get done. After all, Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe and Palm Beach Counties are home to 30 percent of the state's population. How can we be ignored?
So it was good to see 20 of the region's lawmakers gather this week for a rare, multi-county session in Tallahassee. The topic: climate change and the threat we face from rising sea levels, a concern literally lapping up South Florida's shores.
The attendance was a success, considering the many pressing issues before the Florida Legislature, not to mention the distraction of the University of Miami-Florida State University basketball game scheduled around the same time.
State Rep. Mark Pafford, who chairs the Palm Beach County Legislative Delegation, deserves credit for bringing half the region's delegation together. For if ever there were an issue that should galvanize our representatives and senators, it is the disproportionately high risk we face from climate change because of our low elevation and rising sea levels.
The Atlantic Ocean is expected to rise at least a foot along Florida's southeast coast between 2040 and 2070, according to projections outlined in a 2012 report by the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact.
That's enough to put 81 miles of South Florida roads, power plant properties and roughly $4 billion in beachfront homes under water.
Already, Key West has seen a sea level rise of nine inches in the past 100 years.
While some still doubt whether human activity has anything to do with climate change, it's past time for the rest of us to deal with the reality around us.
