Right now, the U.S. government is forcibly separating families seeking safety in the U.S. These families are fleeing persecution and horrific violence, often from Central America.
Instead of being able to ask for asylum with dignity and security, they are treated cruelly. Children are taken from their parents at the border and put into government-run shelters, often hundreds of miles away from their parents, even when they had documentation proving their relationship to their children.
Amnesty International staff recently conducted a research mission along the U.S. southern border, and preliminarily found that since 2017 the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") is increasingly forcibly separating children from their parents or guardians when these families request asylum.
Separating families as they seek asylum together is a flagrant violation of the human rights of the parents and their children and is also a violation of U.S. obligations under refugee law.
Take action to stop separating families now!

It's time to tell Twitter: end online violence and abuse against women nowEvery day, women face violent threats, sexism, racism and more on Twitter. This abuse is flooding Twitter, forcing women out of public conversations - and at times, driving them off the platform. The abuse can be more intense for women of colour, women with disabilities; lesbian, bisexual, trans women, and non-binary people.
Twitter recently said "we stand with women around the world to make their voices heard and their presence known". But women aren't buying it. Twitter isn't putting their own rules on abuse and hateful conduct into practice, or showing us how they deal with abuse when it's reported.
Help end online abuse
With your help, we can all make sure Twitter becomes a safe space for movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp, and not a place where women are silenced out of fear of violence and abuse.
CEO and Co-Founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey is the man who can make sure Twitter takes online abuse seriously. Tweet him now and hold him to his word.
"Hey @Jack, don't let #ToxicTwitter silence women. Follow your own Twitter rules"

Under Saudi Arabia's discriminatory male guardianship system, every woman must have a male guardian – a father, brother, husband, or even a son – who has the authority to make a range of critical decisions on her behalf. Women are required to receive guardian approval to apply for a passport, travel outside the country, study abroad on a government scholarship, get married, or even exit prison.
In April 2017, King Salman ordered all government agencies to allow women to access any government service without a male guardian's consent unless existing regulations require it, and that government agencies provide a list within three months of procedures that require male guardian approval.

People spend billions on jewelry every year. But most jewelry brands can't guarantee their products aren't tainted by human rights abuses.
Gold and diamonds are often mined under brutal, abusive conditions. Children are injured or even killed working in hazardous mines. Whole communities face ill-health when mines pollute waterways with toxic chemicals. In war, civilians have suffered enormously as abusive armed groups have enriched themselves by exploiting gold and diamonds.
You should know where your jewelry comes from. Tell 13 global jewelry brands to ensure their jewelry is responsibly sourced and to address human rights abuses in their supply chains.

'Immediate jeopardy' seen at Western State Hospital
A federal inspection of Western State Hospital that wrapped up Thursday found patient-care problems that rise to the level of "immediate jeopardy."
The conclusion by inspectors working on behalf of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ratchets up the threat of losing federal funding at the state's more than 800-bed Lakewood psychiatric hospital.
The Department of Social and Health Services that runs the hospital confirmed the finding but didn't immediately reveal details of problems found.
"There are multiple issues throughout the hospital," DSHS deputy assistant secretary Victoria Roberts said. "Staffing is a component of that. Part of it is that we've been trying to expand and do a lot of work very very rapidly."
An assault in August by one patient on another led federal overseers to put the hospital on notice it was violating federal standards, placing it on track to lose funding Dec. 2 without improvements.
Inspectors checked for those improvements, but found serious enough problems to make the "immediate jeopardy" finding that now gives Western State 23 days from Thursday to save its funding, Roberts said.
Officials haven't said exactly how much money is at risk but the hospital receives at least $64 million a year in federal money.
Roberts said the hospital is committed to working with federal regulators to keep patients safe. The hospital will not close, she said: "We are not anywhere close to saying that we're going to close the hospital or parts of the hospital."
But to address a shortage of psychiatrists, nurses and other staff that is at the root of some of the problems, DSHS has canceled a hospital expansion that was underway with money from state lawmakers. It plans to close one of two recently opened wards and shelve plans to add more.
The expansion was a response to court orders for more timely treatment of patients.
The hospital has a list of 60 people waiting for detentions — and that doesn't count criminal defendants waiting in jail for evaluation or treatment. A federal judge has ordered the state to improve by Jan. 2 enough to provide services to defendants within a week of a court order.
Roberts said DSHS is struggling to hire and keep psychiatrists because of a national shortage and because the department doesn't pay as well as competing agencies and practices.
Vacancies have staff members clocking frequent overtime.
DSHS is turning to the private sector for help. It has hired temporary contract psychiatrists and wants to find a contractor that can fill positions on a larger scale.

London, November 2017
The brown couch, the sofa-bed at Seb's, this furniture monstrosity has a certain 'propped up by a keyboard case', '30° angle', 'slides away when you sit on it' sensibility and belongs in a rock 'n' roll hall of fame somewhere.Though not fit for purpose since its arrival four or five years ago, @sebobysebo loves it and virtually every great band passing through London in that time has slept on it. It's also been generously offered to every member of the Elephant Riders team, frequently helping us through tricky times.Sometimes I'll politely refuse and take the concrete floor instead, but the unrelenting loyalty, love and support that Sebby gives is unique and invaluable to me. Here is a glorious picture of him preparing the infamous sofa-bed in Mid-November.I had this one printed and framed for all @elephant_riders as a Christmas gift. They get it.
Oslo, December 2017
Second in the series is this cracker from Oslo in early December.@mattcoxonline and @ine.elisabeth (Wonderful hosts, especially given we'd invited ourselves to visit them) inflated an airbed that filled the entire living room, causing confusion and outright disgust among feline residents Harold and Madge.Worth noting that I slept better on this bed than any other bed in the previous six months or more, even with giant cat eyes wishing death upon me.
Ustrzyki Górne, August 2017
A state owned, barely furbished, bungalow cabin/hostel in a one road town at the foot of two mountains in South Eastern Poland with nobody on front desk, no visible cleaning, a single shared bathroom subject to flagrant floor pissing and the kind of mystery smell that hangs in the air and cloaks your hair and skin, so that two days after you've left, it's still all you can smell. Part three of Beds of 2017 brings us to Kremenaros in Ustrzyki Górne, mid-August.I lay on this wafer thin mattress listening to big rain hitting sodden soil outside, knowing that every other cabin in the area was fully booked and wondering how far the front seats in the car would recline. We left at 5am the following morning and climbed two peaks.
Irish Sea, November 2017
The drive from Brighton to Oxford was easy. We were deep into the Matthew E. White tour so the Oxford show that night was no sweat. At 10pm we finished, frantically loaded out and drove to Liverpool ferry terminal for the 2am crossing to Dublin. Potentially tricky but the excellent company made it fly by. Then we boarded the ferry.Bedouine opened the door to her cabin and sighed, "So this is where I die"Beds of 2017 number four comes from Cabin 18, on the Irish Sea, where bleach befriends decades of seasickness and sheets are laundered to sandpaper. Seven years ago I did this crossing with Darwin Deez and we slept on the floor by the canteen, so I say nothing and have a go at gratitude.
Janowo, August 2017
Unwilling to pay the fee for the 'guided' wild animal tours of the Białowieża forest, @igasiemiga and I decided to go rogue. We booked a cabin on the North West corner of the reservation, near Janowo and mapped a nine hour trail along the north perimeter.Outside the Białowieska Polana cabin there was a low wall topped with a neat line of heavily burnt toast, a miniature barbecue, a half-mowed lawn and a high volume dog. It turned out our room was actually just the corner of someone's attic and outside our door a man sat drinking summer fruits cider from the can and staring downwards, not once looking up or acknowledging our presence. Vibey.Volume five of Beds of 2017 was there, in early August. We set an alarm for 4am so as to avoid seeing anyone as we left and in the hope of seeing some wild bison, bears, deer, boar etc. on our hike. When the alarm went off I researched what to do if you meet wild animals in the woods. One hour later I forgot.The bed was fine.
Poznan, October 2017
We lived for almost six months with this bed, fully disassembled and stacked under the combined sofa/bed/dining chair and around the edges of the room, like a real life walls-closing-in horror scene, because it was free and we hoped to one day live somewhere bigger than a closet.
The sixth and final bed of Beds of 2017 is this bed, fully assembled and East facing in our new Poznan apartment, mid-October. I was born patient.
Katowice, May 2017
BONUS SHOT: Nothing at all of note about this bed from our Katowice hotel on the Vök tour, but I'm pretty sure that William Shakespeare didn't say that.

John Vera, Claimant,v.State of New York, Defendant.
Editorial Note:
This case is not published in a printed volume and its disposition appears in a table in the reporter.
For Claimant: Fred Lichtmacher, Esq.
For Defendant: Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General by: Michelle M. Walls, AAG.
Alan C. Marin, J.
This is the decision following the liability trial of the claim of John Vera brought under the Unjust Conviction and Imprisonment Act ( 8-b of the Court of Claims Act). Mr. Vera had been convicted of his participation in the robbery of a family that owned a grocery store in Brooklyn.
The robbery covered two sites, Diana's Grocery and the owners' residence on South Third Street, also in Brooklyn. On Friday, January 6, 1994, some time after 11 p.m., two persons pushed their way into the South Third Street apartment of the Garcias. They threatened the family, which included Mr. and Mrs. Garcia and their two daughters, aged 9 and 14, to force Bernardo Garcia to give them the keys to the grocery and the safe they thought was at the store. At some point, at least one more member of the gang came into the apartment during the night of January 6 - January 7. There were other individuals who were part of the robbery gang at the grocery, and they used walkie-talkies to communicate.
On March 4, 1994, John Vera, who lived in the neighborhood, was arrested shortly after stopping into the Garcia store to buy a snack. He was the only individual who was tried for the crime; the others who were apprehended pled guilty. A jury found Vera guilty of six counts of robbery in the first degree, four counts of robbery in the second degree, five counts of burglary in the first degree and two counts of assault in the second degree (cl exh 4, 3; People v Vera, 235 A.D.2d 509, 653 N.Y.S.2d 360 (2d Dept 1997)) .
On February 6, 1995, claimant was sentenced to terms of 6 to18 years on the first degree robbery and burglary counts; 5 to 15 years on the second degree robbery counts and 2 to 6 years on the assault counts - - with all the time to run concurrently (cl exh 4, 3), and he was received soon thereafter into the custody of the State Department of Correctional Services.
Vera was released from the Arthur Kill Correctional Facility on January 27, 2000 on a writ of habeas corpus. On February 10, 2000, Justice Louis Marrero granted Vera's motion pursuant to paragraph (g) of CPL 440.10.1 (the discovery of new evidence): the conviction was vacated and all charges against him dismissed (cl exhs 7 & 23).
Claimant's Case
John Vera has always maintained his innocence - - that he was home on the night of the robbery. When claimant was arrested in the early evening of March 4, 1994, he said, "you've got the wrong guy" (cl exh 2). Detective William Soto, who made the arrest, testified that Vera had not tried to flee.
In January 1994, Vera was 20 years old, and had lived in the neighborhood for sixteen years in the house that his mother owned at 71 Maujer Street. [1] Upon his release from prison in 2000, he returned there to live. At the time of the robbery, claimant was working for Washington Inventory Services in Bayside, Queens as an inventory specialist with the responsibility of traveling to various stores and checking their merchandise levels. In January of 1994, Vera was working Monday through Friday with some weekend work. With a two-hour commute each way, he would leave for work at 4 a.m. and return in the evening around 8 or 8:30. Vera recalled that he started working part-time in late February or early March of that year.
The Garcias' grocery at 322 Union Avenue was a block or two away from Vera's residence. The day of the arrest, March 4, Vera had intended to get a haircut at a barbershop that was next door to the Garcias' grocery. Claimant walked into the store, bought a soda and a bag of potato chips, then went into the barbershop where "I got my spot." While waiting his turn, Vera crossed the street to where he had seen "some guys from the neighborhood that I know." That is where he was arrested.
Vera has two prior convictions, which defendant contends undercuts claimant's credibility as showing, per the formulation, that he puts his interests above those of society. See Morales v State of New York,183 Misc.2d 839, 845-46, 705 N.Y.S.2d 176, 180 ...

Remarkably, I write to you on a day
that would most like to remain a place,
which despite rain could be an active time,
when we could all be so productive
taking samples of hair, nails, and skin,
growing them inside our desk blenders.
You'd use a food processor yourself,
to see yourself emerge calorie-like from
the centrifugal DNA foam. A kelsius
sort of reminder, which you could
combust like repetition of genes.
So you tell us that you would like
to rename the clone who set you on fire
in an alternative energy toasting,
who wrote protest letters
from the secret hatchways
of the take-home office laptop
that other assistant to the office assistant
who returns with mysterious broadsheets
filled with news of IT and THEM.
You would like us to identify
problems like this that cause delays,
people who transfer every phone
call to our desk, deliver each
visitor experimenting on chickens.
They all make us lazy
on days that could be most productive,
making more clones, those duplicates of you
hanging around your house like pantyhose,
playing guitars and eating all the soybeans,
those pots smoking on your stove,
blinking messages you always have to return,
and always have to talk, greeting the public, hung over,
displaying the corporation. You'll really have
to build a higher trading tower
if you want us to cancel magazines
and inscribe computer codes with mock metal
bales dropped over islands. You would like us
to write your name upon a hook-shaped coast
or take a mercador map and find the corner closest
to your calling. This clone you sent us, folded
in a sort of book, we're trying to decipher
the secret messages you must have thought
were hidden inside a blank eye inside the blank eye,
this clone you sent, C.O.D., did you think
she'd tell us stories of your upholster
of the entailments, paint like the new tempura,
a kind of global going local, or loco going global,
with your kind of a view of a park?
You give nothing to community projects,
from your height upon aluminum ladders,
you fire anyone who drops coffee in your boxers,
your clone stalks women in the lavatories,
writing down their complaints in lipstick on a mirror,
you think the office maid cleans up after herself too—
after all, you left her with enough
styrofoam coffee cups to build an igloo metropolis.
Asphalt stretches from one cubicle to the other.
You build a road paved with power ties cemented
into a pattern, the pattern you like most, the one
that appears behind your eyelids
when you attempt to dream,
that is, the stock market in an upsurge,
with your stock leading all the other clones, and
your name emblazoned on one billion brass plaques,
one more air conditioner to add to your porn closet,
one more employee to bring you the right stuff stuff.
If these are the words you cringe to find crumpled up
in your outbasket, then let them come to you via in-boxes,
or handed to you as you walk by a railroad station,
the kind of company you hate to ride on a bicycle with,
the kind of folks you shudder to see on your windshield,
the kind of folks who drop your golf clubs on your toe
and complain about the pesticides. It's this that
you'd like to cancel, that you'd scrape a carpet for
with your fingernails, searching for your own unique
eyelash. They took it and generated it, deconstructed
into an uncontrollable feedback of static,
the kind of music you hear kids play, reading
poetry on the sly at night, with a flashlight under
sheets and comforters, this takes place under your
very own roof...Oh, I'd write to you that there's so much
room for improvement, that there are places who'd much
rather remain times. Despite the rain, there are situations
which you'd best assign to us, the others
playing guitars and growing organic wheatgrass sprouts.
These are the kinds of times that should remain places
and lost within are spaces and times that take time.
You reach for a match to see better through the dimming offices,
cubicles darkening one after the other, as each
worker turns out their small flourescent nighty light,
takes the elevators down to see the nascent fireworks,
the imaginary ones set off by ghostly ships,
the inexplicable coming into the harbor.

JUL-AUG 2018 | Critics Page
Although my investigations and conceptions of time are certainly self-taught and personal, they are not necessarily outside the canon of human experience or destiny. They're in fact juxtaposed to the future evolution of technology and human neurological development. This is to say that perhaps one day some of my pictures will awaken from their present hibernation. The question here is whether my calendric calculations and reference points are merely personal or whether they're connected to a futuristic synergized public.

The saga of Loft District restaurant Red -- as detailed in my colleague Kristen Hinman's must-read piece from last week's paper -- continues.
Hinman's article was published online on Wednesday, March 4. At that time, Red had reopened. However, as of 5:15 p.m. today, when Red should have been open for dinner, the restaurant was dark, and the front door was padlocked shut.
This morning I called both of Red's original owners, Kirk Appazeller and Derek Onstott, and asked whether Red had closed for good. Each declined to comment. Calls to the restaurant itself went to a message stating that "Memory is full" and asking for an input code.
More as I learn it.

II Chronicles 24/
"Go out to the cities of Judah and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God …" (v5). Under the good influence of the priest Jehoida, King Joash began to collect the tithes from the people so that the broken-down, neglected Temple could be repaired. The princes and the people "rejoiced" (v10) to have the opportunity to contribute once again to God's house, the center of worship and symbol of the covenant. They restored the Temple "to its proper condition" and sacrifices were offered regularly (v14).
The resources for the Temple were collected "in abundance" (v11). When our faith is alive and growing, it is reflected in changed behavior – even how we use our finances.

Aseethe/Snow Burial Split
Midwestern doom rockers Aseethe team up with Chi-town post-metaliers Snow Burial for a short but hard-hitting split tape. Hold on to your butts for this one because it's one hell of a ride!
Aseethe mires you in the sludge of doom and despair with the slow and heavy throb of bass, guitar and drums congealing into a swampy morass; a morass that slowly smothers and suffocates any remaining hope in your soul. The vocals shift between sub-bass growls and shrill, hellish shrieks-both equally soul crushing. A surprise near the end awaits you that will completely submerge you in the mire of your own failings.
Snow Burial scorches Side B. The tempo picks up and the intensity in no way lessens. On Sever the Bloodline, they launch a full-frontal assault to your cochlea with a frenzied and raucous riff propelled by frenetic drumming and manic wails about well...severing the bloodline of course! They then about-face transition to a soft but driving post-rock interlude replete with fuzzed-out bass, picked-out guitar chords and an edgy but gentle warble from the singer. Tension swells, energy builds and then...
Well, I don't want to give the whole show away!
Though only two tracks total, this split tape packs the punch of a proper EP. Let's hope for more titanic team-ups from these two hard rock colossi. Although, I'm not sure if the earth could bear another monstrous mashup.

Tacoma Boxing Club cleans up at local Golden Gloves tournament
Every year, each divisional champion at the annual Tacoma Golden Gloves boxing tournament receives a letterman-style jacket.
Jerrell Barbour is running out of closet space.
Barbour became the second boxer in the event's storied 67-year history to win six career titles at the amateur boxing tournament by defeating Seattle's Oscar Islas in the 132-pound finals Saturday at the University of Puget Sound Fieldhouse.
"It took a little longer to get here than I wanted," said Barbour, a Stadium graduate and member of the Tacoma Boxing Club, "but better late than never."
Barbour captured four consecutive local championships between 2007 and 2010 before adding his fifth title in 2012, but he lost in the finals the previous two years.
Title No. 6 came after he a unanimous decision over Islas. The scores were 29-28, 30-27, 29-28 in favor of Barbour.
"This one definitely feels the best of the six," Barbour said. "I fought the last couple years at 123 pounds. Now I'm back at 132 where I feel the most comfortable."
Barbour joins former Tacoma Boxing Club member Mylon Watkins, who won six consecutive Tacoma Golden Gloves titles (1981-86) and was a two-time national Golden Gloves champion, winning titles in 1985 and 1986.
Barbour, who is 2-2 lifetime against Islas, relied on his superior quickness throughout the three-round bout.
Islas charged out from the opening bell, briefly exchanging blows with Barbour before the two became entangled and tumbled to the canvas.
As the bout wore on, Barbour frequently beat his opponent to the punch, using his jab to set up his arsenal.
"I was just trying to get into a rhythm," Barbour said. "Every time I fight him, he switches up. So I just turned to what I do best and that's box."
Barbour, along with all the local champions, advance to the West Region Golden Gloves tournament March 21-22 in Las Vegas, with winners there heading to the national tournament.
Barbour was the 2007 West Region Golden Gloves champion in the 119-pound weight class.
Barbour's teammates David Sandoval and Hector Rendon both captured their third Golden Gloves championships.
Sandoval defeated Yakima's Austin Zambrano by second-round TKO in the 123-pound finals, while Rendon won a slugfest against Seattle's Alan Luk at 141 pounds.
Sandoval, a back-to-back winner at 123 pounds, waited until the final seconds of the first round to go to the body.
One of his few body shots, a vicious left hook, sent Zambrano to one knee.
Zambrano beat the count and shortly after, the bell sounded, ending the first round. The damage, however, was done.
"(Tacoma Boxing Club) Coach (Tom) Mustin is always telling me to go to the body, double up with the body," said the 21-year-old Sandoval, a graduate of Mount Tahoma. "I think I've always had it. I've just never committed to working the body before."
Sandoval delivered a similar left hook midway through the second round and even though Zambrano again rose prior to the 10 count, the bout was waved off by the referee.
"David hits hard," Mustin said. "I thought he got off to a slow start tonight. Once he went to the body, he started to pick things up."
Sandoval also won the 114-pound title locally in 2010.
Rendon, who captured titles in 2012 (123 pounds) and 2013 (132), added his third title with a unanimous decision, appearing as the 30-27, 30-27, 29-28 winner on the judge's scorecards.
The Tacoma Boxing Club notched its fourth championship on the card after Kevin Torres edged Spokane's Antonio Tessitore in the 152-pound division finals by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The club, which won its ninth straight and 29th overall team title at the tournament, ended up a perfect six-for-six in final bouts with Matthew Mollet and Elvis Garcia picking up titles in the heavyweight and super heavyweight divisions, respectively.
Mollet, a senior at South Kitsap High, looked razor-sharp in his first-round TKO victory over the University of Washington Boxing Club's Edgar Cortes. Cortes was floored early and later issued a pair of standing eight counts before the bout was stopped.
Garcia looked equally impressive, defeating UW's Bryan Hougton by first-round TKO.
The UW club, which sent six boxers to the finals, won a pair of female championships with Jacqueline Ines defeating teammate Kellsie Pence (40-36, 40-36, 40-36) to win the female 119-pound title and Taylor Williams taking the 125-pound crown with a win over Lindsay Hanson (39-37, 39-37, 39-37).
UW's Albert Ta and Nikolas Vasquez of Seattle both won 165-pound semifinal bouts and will square off for the division championship noon Sunday at the Al Davies Boys & Girls Club, 1620 S. 17th St., Tacoma.
At 178 pounds, UW's Richard Vansiclen defeated Yakima's Anthony Pleasant.
Additional champions included Seattle's D.H. Nestor (114), Raul Garcia (132, out of state), and Nicole Chipman, who won the 132-pound title in the female division.

Don says: One of my early childhood memories was of my Dad returning from hunting trips, bringing home Cecropia Moth cocoons. We hatched and released dozens of Cecropias over the years and I remember being amazed at their beauty. I hadn't seen a Cecropia in many years, although my Dad reported seeing them several times a year at night in the yard light at his summer cabin in Wisconsin. We often talked about "hatching" the cocoons when we were younger and how much fun we had.
My Dad passed away several years ago at his cabin at the age of 91. He was always so supportive and encouraging of my photography. On my first "photo walk" after Dad passed away, I was remembering the good times I shared with Dad over the years, and how he had taught me at an early age to respect and admire the beauty in nature. I looked up and saw something on the trail ahead. At first I thought someone had dropped a colorful scarf, but as I got closer I recognized it was a newly hatched Cecropia Moth… the first I'd seen in over 20 years! I was shaking as I put on my macro lens and set up my tripod. I remember thinking, "Don't blow this one." I normally put my camera on manual focus with my macro lens, but with the tears drops in my eyes making it hard to focus, I set it on auto focus. It was definitely an emotional and, I might add, "spiritual" experience.

Interest rates have not been this low in decades and probably won't be for the next 30 years, according to Jeff Taylor, managing partner at the risk and compliance firm Digital Risk.
Taylor told Big Data Download that interest rates will begin to rise, so now is the time to buy a home.
Banks have been forced to focus on manufacturing loans with firms like Digital Risk who specialize in keeping the banks compliant with all the new and evolving regulations ever since the mortgage crisis crippled the housing industry a few years ago, according to Taylor.
One piece of advice from Taylor is to have all documentation, especially income and assets, complete and accurate to avoid potential problems with paying the mortgage.

Chicago, IL (WorkersCompensation.com) – Hospital workers say the level of violence directed toward nurses and doctors is on the rise.
In early May, employees at Chicago's Mount Sinai Hospital described their workplace as a "war zone" to the Chicago Tribune. With gang violence contributing to an increased patient load, hospital employees face increased levels of physical and verbal assault.
"We see so much sadness, we work with good people, our Sinai family, and we have many patients who are, well, patient," one Mount Sinai nurse told the Chicago Tribune. "But there's the other side. Every night nurses are verbally abused, physically threatened, spit on. It's a constant barrage. It can get scary. They say 'I'll get you after work.'"
The Tribune did not name the nurse so she could speak freely without fear of reprisal.
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the rate of hospital injuries intentionally injured on the job is higher than any other private industry. In 2015, there were 8.5 cases of injury per 100,000 full-time hospital workers. The national average for all private industries was 1.7 cases per 100,000 full-time employees.
And according to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 70 to 74 percent of all workplace assaults between 2011 and 2013 were in healthcare settings.
OSHA estimated in a 2012 study that total injuries in healthcare settings accounted for a total annual expense of $2 billion in the healthcare industry. The average hospital pays $0.78 in workers' compensation losses for every $100 of payroll. Violence against nurses and nurses' assistants accounted for 9 percent of the total injuries at hospitals during the study's time period.
Nurses say they're the ones on the front lines of the battlefield between patients and healthcare workers because they are the ones with the most contact with patients, and their families, during emotionally charged moments. Troubling diagnoses, long emergency room wait times or sometimes just general dislike of the healthcare and insurance system contribute to hostility toward nurses, experts say.
"Just going to work is a high-risk endeavor," Lisa Wolf, a registered nurse and director at the Institute for Emergency Nursing Research at the Emergency Nurses Association told the Tribune. "You're going to work and people in some way (are) feeling like they can kill you."
Jeff Solheim, Emergency Nurses Association president, told WorkersCompensation.com that their study in 2011 showed that more than half of all emergency nurses experienced physical violence or abuse from a patient of visitor in the preceding week.
"Violence in the hospital is a major problem for healthcare providers. We experience physical and verbal attacks on a daily basis in the emergency department from patients and visitors," he said. "A 2011 study conducted by the Emergency Nurses Association found that 54.5 percent out of 6,504 emergency nurses experienced physical violence and/or abuse from a patient or visitor during the past week. Unfortunately, the rate of workplace violence in the emergency department is likely much higher as many incidents are unreported as a result of the perception that assaults are 'part of the job.'"
It happens across the country, in towns large and small, he said.
"We don't currently have research regarding the impact of workplace violence regionally," he said. "While at our recent Day on the Hill event, I asked 167 nurses to raise their hand if they have been a victim of violence in the workplace. Nearly everyone in the picture had their hand raised, and that group included members from 44 different states and communities of every size.
And the range of injuries varies widely, he said.
"The majority of injuries will be soft tissue injuries from being slapped, punched, pushed against objects or struck by objects thrown as missiles," he said. "At times, the injuries can be more serious. Orthopedic injuries like sprains, strains and even fractures occur when nurses are struck by heavy objects like intravenous poles or the nurses' limbs are grabbed and pulled or twisted. In rare cases, the injuries can be life-threatening or even result in death. Nurses have been stabbed or been hit over the head with heavy objects resulting in severe head injuries."
Injuries aren't limited to purely physical injuries, he said.
"One type of injury that is often overlooked is communicable diseases. Many of our patients have contagious diseases," he said. "These patients will spit on nurses and I have had patients throw urine from a urinal on a nurse or intentionally splatter their blood on a nurse, exposing that nurse to the same disease the patient has."
States are beginning to recognize the problem. California recently enacted legislation that addresses the reporting of violent acts, staff training and correcting any violence hazards. And in Alaska, the state House of Representatives passed the "Crimes Against Healthcare Workers" bill that would make willful assaults on medical professionals in the healthcare setting a felony. The bill is now in the Senate Rules Committee in that state.
Solheim said it is a felony to assault an emergency nurse in 32 states. But because assault is often considered "part of the job," he said, assaults are likely to be underreported.
And, according to OSHA's 2012 study, nearly one quarter of the nurses and nursing assistants used sick time, or changed shifts, in order to recover from an unreported injury, instead of filing a workers' compensation claim for the injury.
The attitude of assault as part of the job may be sending nurses for greener, and less abusive, pastures, Solheim said, some, not by choice.
"From a personal standpoint, I know of at least five nurses in my career that were injured by a violent episode whose injuries were so severe they never returned to work," he said. "I also know of several nurses that worked in my department when I was a department director who chose to leave the emergency department to work in a different area of nursing they felt provided less risk in regards to violence."

Argument preceded fatal stabbing, police say
WICHITA — They met at a party earlier that evening, but before the sun had come up Saturday, one of them was dead — and the other is in jail facing a homicide charge, authorities said today.
Boston Sicard, 20, was found at the corner of Central and Ridge Road just after 4 a.m. Saturday, bleeding from multiple stab wounds, Wichita police Lt. Ken Landwehr said.
He was taken to Wesley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 4:24 a.m. Saturday.
A blood trail led back to an apartment complex at 734 N. Country Acres, where residents said the victim had gotten into an argument with a woman.
The woman returned to the complex later Saturday morning, where she was questioned by officers and then arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder, Landwehr said.
The argument was about another woman not present at the time of the stabbing, Landwehr said.
This is the 14th homicide of the year in Wichita, he said.

Tonight begins the celebration of the reunification of the City of Jerusalem 44 years ago. There is much emotion when thinking about the chesed, grace, of G-d in allowing His Holy City to be brought back into the hands of His people. The 2 Spies are overcome with gratitude and a somber joy mixed with responsibility. Responsibility to be a good steward of this precious gift. The joy of seeing the wonder and good of this Golden City. The need to be found worthy to carry the mantle of one who is a watchman on the walls~ crying out day and night~ not giving G-d any rest until He makes Jerusalem a praise on the earth. The greatest gift is being here, at this time and season for the preparation of our Messiah's coming.
From Jerusalem, we wish you much joy!

Amexica: War Along the Borderline
Random House, 2010 M10 7 - 416 páginas
In the last three years more than 38,000 people have been murdered in Amexica - the area of land that forms the border between the US and Mexico. This is both the busiest and most deadly frontier in the world, studded with guard-posts, infra-red searchlights and heavily armed patrols.Across it unfolds a war that is scarcely reported - a war that's being fought, with thousands dying and millions of lives blighted, so that Europe and America can get high.
In Amexica, acclaimed journalist Ed Vulliamy explores his own love-hate relationship with the place and its people, while investigating the causes and consequences of the war and its impact on the everyday life which somehow carries on around it.

About the Show
"It's not a large show, 30 dealers, but they are outstanding dealers and they save stuff all year long to bring to this show." That's how Antiques and the Arts Weekly described our 2018 show and then concluded "If you've never been to this show, and you like American antiques, plan on visiting it next year." We couldn't agree more and look forward to welcoming you this October. After all, it is "next year" now.
Since the Weston Antiques Show's inception, more than 90,000 attendees have enjoyed the show and well over $1,000,000 has been raised for historic preservation. The Weston Antiques Show, one of the oldest shows in the country and now in its 61st year, is widely regarded as one of the best small shows anywhere, and is distinguished by its dealers, location, attendees, community support, and where the proceeds go.
Most shows are mainly country, Americana, or some other specialty. They have a 'stable of dealers', often from that region, who do shows produced by that show manager. Not ours. We feature dealers from across the country with a wide variety of antiques – American, English, country, formal, furniture, accessories, and fine art. And, unlike most shows, we take the risk out of buying – our exhibitors guarantee what they sell.
Most shows are in a school gymnasium, skating rink, hotel, or even outside. They have large rectangular booths. Not ours. We are in a Greek revival building with odd angles, ceiling heights, and room sizes. We have silver in the closet, rugs on seat backs and theatre walls, paintings in the lobby, linens in dressing rooms, and furniture and accessories throughout. All this, we feel, adds to the charm of the show.
Most shows draw on urban areas or the trade. Not ours. Our little town swells to welcome over 2,000 attendees who come from near and far. Some have attended for decades and others are first-timers. Some are collectors or dealers and others are looking for that perfect piece for their home in the area or a neighboring state. All enjoy our quintessential Vermont town at the height of fall foliage.
A rarity among antiques shows today, volunteers still organize and produce our show. Many are active throughout the year lining up dealers and doing marketing. Others get involved at show time – staffing the box office, greeting attendees, arranging flowers, or a myriad of other activities. We appreciate the generous support of our corporate sponsors and dozens of area small businesses who contribute products and services.
Proceeds from most shows leave the area. Not ours. We provide more than half the funds needed to maintain the treasures that are the very heart of Weston. Unlike other towns whose pristine buildings and fields are maintained by private foundations or funded by municipal or state governments, we preserve our museums, community buildings, and parks through volunteer efforts such as the Weston Antiques Show.

Pacific Islands Water Science Center
USGS Water Science Centers are located in each state.
Using Invertebrate Assemblages to Create a Benthic Index of Biotic Integrity for Hawaiian Streams
Project Chief: Reuben H. Wolff
The Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) has been testing and refining the Hawaii Stream Bioassessment Protocol (HSBP) for several years and is interested in expanding the protocol to include benthic invertebrates. The HSBP is currently based on habitat characteristics and presence of native fish and macro-crustaceans as indicators of biotic integrity (Kido and others, 1999). The HDOH uses the protocol to screen the biological health of Hawaii's streams for classification purposes and to identify water-quality problems associated with both point and non-point source pollution. Expansion of the HSBP to include benthic invertebrates will provide the HDOH with tools needed for an integrated and more robust assessment of stream quality in Hawaii.
The overall objective of this study is to provide the HDOH with new tools needed to assess the biological condition of streams in Hawaii. The new assessment tools will be based on benthic invertebrates and will be applicable to both targeted and probabilistic monitoring designs employed by the HDOH. Specific objectives of this study are to develop an effective island-specific benthic index of biotic integrity (BIBI) for Oahu and Maui and to refine the preliminary state-wide BIBI developed by Wolff (2005).
Relevance and Benefits
The study will support the USGS Science Strategy related to understanding ecosystems and predicting ecosystem change (U.S. Geological Survey, 2007). In accordance with the strategic actions identified by USGS Science Strategy Team, this study will: (1) characterize and quantify natural and human caused ranges of ecosystem variability related to benthic invertebrate assemblages, (2) quantify the consequences of ecosystem and land-use change to stream quality, and (3) develop credible indices of responses to ecosystem stressors, including land use and water-quality contaminants.
To meet the objectives of this study USGS will (1) collect invertebrate and habitat information at 40 sites on Maui, (2) create a database of available invertebrate, water quality, and habitat information for Oahu, Maui, and Kauai, (3) use statistical analyses to determine relations among land use, habitat characteristics, stream quality, and the distribution and abundance of benthic invertebrates, and (4) develop an island-specific BIBI for Oahu and Maui and refine the preliminary state-wide BIBI developed by Wolff (2005). Results from this study will be published in the USGS Scientific Investigations Report series and made available on the internet.
Compiled and reviewed the macroinvertebrate and habitat data from the 40 sampling sites on Maui, and from previous USGS studies including 9 sites on Kauai and 59 sites on Oahu for a total of 108 sites with 265 macroinvertebrate samples. Compiled and reviewed the GIS delineated watershed variables including basin area, land use and land cover, stream length, and elevation. Developed island-specific benthic index of biotic integrity for Oahu and Maui. Completed the study.

Agua Fresca
One of my absolute favorite memories from living with my host family in Costa Rica back in high school — and then visiting them again this past summer — was waking up each morning to the sound of a whirring blender making a fresh fruit refresco.
Or, as this drink is called in Mexico and many other Latin-American countries, agua fresca.
Actually, I should probably 'fess up and clarify that mealtimes back in the 90's weren't exactly my favorite time of day. I was a ridiculously picky eater back in high school. And the black beans and fried plantains that were served with nearly every meal in Costa Rica weren't exactly my fave, much less most of the other main courses that were so lovingly prepared. (<– I know, who was this girl? I did my best to make up for lost time — and meals — the last time I was back!)
That said, though, I always knew that I could count on a big glass full of some deliciously-sweet refresco to sip on at every meal. My host mom would blend up an enormous batch first thing every morning, and then serve up the leftovers at lunch and dinner. So the highly-anticipated moment of the morning was always walking into the kitchen to see what new color of juice would be filling the pitcher. Would it be yellow juice day? (My favorite — pineapple!) Or orange juice day? (Costa Rica's national fruit — mango.) Or white juice day? (A fun word to say — guanabana.) Or the dreaded brown juice day? (Ok, I should admit there was one I couldn't do — tamarind.)
Every day, there was always a new juice. And every day, those fresh-fruit juices always felt like such a sweet treat.
So ever since then, I've loved using any fresh fruit I have in the house to blend up refrescos (aguas frescas) of my own. They are the perfect way to use up leftover fruit, they take literally just a minute to make, and they always add a deliciously sweet note — along with some sweet memories — to any meal. Granted, I now make mine with natural sweeteners, instead of the heaps of granulated sugar that are traditionally used in most Latin American countries. But they're still plenty sweet, and still just as delicious.
So if you've never made agua fresca before, I'd love to show you how!
Agua Fresca Recipe | 1-Minute Video
The beauty of aguas frescas is that you can make them with literally just about any fresh fruit. In general, I recommend going for the juicy ones, like citrus, berries, melons, stone fruit, etc. But just about any fruit that you can blend up will do. I went with some strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, honeydew, and blackberries from ALDI for this tutorial, which I always love.
Just toss them in a blender with a 2:3 water-to-fruit ratio, or more/less depending on the juiciness of your fruit (you want the juice to be about the consistency you can sip through a straw, not as thick as a smoothie)…
…then add in some agave, honey, maple syrup, or any sweetener that you'd like. (<– Actually, many fruits don't need extra sweetener. So I recommend blending up the agua fresca and giving it a taste, and then adding extra sweetener if needed.) I always keep extra bottles of SimplyNature Organic Light Agave Nectar from ALDI stocked in my pantry to make these…and maybe my famous margaritas. So good!
In Mexico, it's also traditional to add in a good squeeze of lime juice to give it an extra-zesty kick, which I love.
Then blend everything up until it's completely smooth and free of chunks.
At this point, you can either strain out the agua fresca through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the pulp and have a nice smooth juice. Or — as I like to do — you can leave the pulp (and all of that good fiber) in there, and serve the juice up with that extra pulp-y froth on top. Up to you.
Either way, the result is a wonderful, fresh, and oh-so-delicious fruity drink that I imagine everyone — even the pickiest of eaters — will enjoy. Perfect for picnics, perfect for special occasions (hint hint: these would be great for Memorial Day this weekend), or as is the custom in Latin America, perfect for regular everyday meals. :)
So the next time you're at ALDI, gather up your favorite fresh fruits (you all know about my pineapple obsession there)…
…and blend up a batch for yourself. :)
Cheers, friends!

I SO love this idea!! And imagine how cute these would be for a Memorial Day picnic! You are brilliant, Ali! :)
I'm in love with Aldi!!! You can't beat their produce prices ANYWHERE and that's the majority of what we buy. Living 5 minutes away from Aldi is a dream come true for me! ? I may have to go buy a pineapple today and try your fave refresco
Amazingly fresh, and I couldn't agree more: Always keep the pulp!
We love agua fresca in our house! My husband is from D.R. and I lived in Miami for 10 years, it's a staple in the summer.
What a great story! These would be perfect through the hot summer months. Can't wait to try them!
Wow this is so beautiful! Perfect for the holiday weekend coming up!
This sounds so much better than regular fruit smoothies. I can't wait to give it a try! My husband spent a lot of time in Spain and South America, so I'll have to see if this is something he had while he was there. Thanks for the recipe! And I am a major Aldi's fan too. Everything is so dang cheap and delicious!
Hello Ali –
I found your website a few months ago and love it. I just wanted to say hello and the next time you are in Costa Rica, please let me know and maybe we can hook up. I have lived here for 10 years, originally from San Francisco and was so delighted to see that you have spent some time here. Take care and I am off to your website to see what I can find ;-))

Passion Fruit was always my favorite kind. This will be cute to even make in red, white and blue for the holiday. I think I have what I'm going to cook with my niece and nephew this weekend without overheating the house. Thanks for sharing.
This looks delicious! I'm sad to say that I've never had the homemade kind.
Gee, Ali, you missed what I think has to be the best one – tamarindo. :-) I love the flavor of tamarind, and have enjoyed tamarind candy. I have actually never made tamarindo, just Jamaica (hibiscus flower). One day soon, I"ll have to try it (but I bet my husband wouldn't like it either…) Glad you posted some general directions for making aguas frescas.
Wow, these sound incredible! I love the idea of incorporating lime or jalepeno and will definitely be making this for the holiday weekend!
i haven't ever tried agua fresca before! but it looks so perfect for summer and i just love the colours Xx
The very last word in the recipe should be "to" and not "too." But great recipe!
I just tried agua fresca at Blaze (pizza place similar to Chipotle)! It was delish! My favorite flavor was lemon mint!!
This looks so fantastic! Do you think frozen fruit would work? I've got cherries that want to be a drink!
Watermelon is AMAZING!!! Super after a long run or work out.
So fun to read this post, Ali! I spent 8 months in Costa Rica after graduating high school and each of the refrescos you wrote about, I'm completely familiar with! It really was a surprise every morning to see what we were going to be enjoying that day :)
Such gorgeous pictures! Great idea to use up not so sweet fruits.
Wow these photos!!! You did a great job girl!!!
This is the second time I've seen Agua Fresca on a blog this week, BUT I'll say I like your rendition with agave much, much better. Can't wait to give these a go :D
Looks tasty and refreshing. Perfect for summer mornings.
My grandmother would make these for us to use up all the mangoes and plums, etc. but she would add a dash of Angostura Aromatic Bitters and Almond Essence. To Die 4, For Sure!
I spent 2 weeks in Costa Rica on a study abroad program during College. I loved all of the fresh fruit that was served with every meal, and those fresh fruit juices (I guess I didn't know they had a name haha). This post is great! Thanks for sharing. And gorgeous photos, love the rainbow!! :)
This looks like an easy recipe to follow, definitely pretty colors.
I bought fresh pineapple and mango's and some blueberries also papaya but, froze them all was afraid they would ruin before I used them all. Does the fruit in this recipe have to be fresh or can I use the fresh frozen fruit I have. This sounds great and so easy :)
Strawberry is so good! Just slurped the last sip ☺! I will try pineapple soon! Thank you!
Enjoyed the memory you shared. I used to be obsessed with eating guananbana and tamarindo straight out of the pod. Such great memories when living in Puerto Rico. Thank you for sharing.

CHAMPAIGN — For Unit 4 school board hopeful Alissia Young, education is all about the family.
From her day job at the University of Illinois' childcare resource service department, to her evening and weekend work leading bible studies, to her home life, Young believes it's essential for parents and families to be involved in every aspect of their child's education.
Family participation is just one of platforms the lifelong Champaign resident is centering her Unit 4 school board campaign on.
"There's an old African proverb that says 'It takes a village to raise a child' and that is just so, so true," she said. "I want to make sure parents and families feel encouraged to get involved in their child's education. I know there are a lot out there who already are, and I applaud them, but it's so important that families and schools work together. It takes all of us pitching in."
Young believes it is not only important for parents to be a part of their kids' school life; it's equally important that open communication exist between all parties involved in rearing a child.
"My main goal is to foster an environment of better communication between parents, the community, our children — because they have a voice as well — and the staff at our schools," she said. "We've got to make sure there is transparency among all these parties," she said. "I know a lot of people get nervous to speak in front of the board at meetings, so if we could create an environment that's comfortable and let's us keep an open dialogue going, that's at the top of my list."
Young is no stranger to Unit 4. All three of her children graduated from Central High School. She regularly attends board meetings (even though her youngest has been out of the school district for almost four years). She applied for an open seat on the board in the spring of 2012, when Ileana Saveley was ultimately chosen.
Although her children are out of high school, Young has stayed up-to-date with the conversation surrounding the fate of Central because she feels invested in the school that brought her kids their education. With the state the current Central is in, she believes "we are doing our kids a disservice expecting them to learn in some of the conditions at that school."
Young supports the school board's most recent $144 million proposal because it includes additional facilities. She's also in favor of the district's recent efforts to bring Dodds Park back to the table.
"I am extremely pleased that Dr. Howard has been added to the list of schools to be rebuilt because I had an opportunity to tour the building and agree that it needs to be accessible for the physically challenged and a 21st century elementary school for the children in our community," she said. "I think the current school board has worked very hard on this issue, has done quite well at making sure voices of the community are being heard and am delighted that the new site of Dodds Park is now on the table."
Young says her commitment to Champaign schools stretches beyond her children's time in the district; rather, she wants to help all current and future parents and their students receive an equitable education.
"There are lots of children that are not on the same level as other students who may need extra support because they have certain obstacles to overcome, so I think it should be a priority for the school board to do whatever it can to help those children and families out. I'd like to be a part of that," she said. "I want to make sure that not only curriculum and instruction in class is equitable, but also make sure discipline is fair across all races so that everybody is treated fairly."
Young has interest in helping expand after-school and tutoring programs, which she says will not only keep kids out of trouble, but also help the schools further "wrap around kids and their families in support."
As an African-American mother, Young says, she has a unique perspective to offer the board and she wants to do everything she can to promote safety and equality, both inside and outside school.
"I'm one of those folks who believes in not just talking about issues, but getting involved and not just sitting by the wayside, but actually being a part of the solution," she said. "That's really what prompted me to run.
"I want to get busy and I want to be helpful because I expect this next generation to do the same thing."

From the green protests in 2009–2010 to the election of reformer Hassan Rouhani as president, young Iranians are increasingly powerful.
Expert Robin Wright has called them "the determinators" — politically savvy, socially sassy, and media astute. They count, quite literally, as never before.
1. Two-thirds of Iran is under 35 years old.
2. They love rap music.
3. They're the first generation born after the 1979 revolution.
4. They're pushing cultural boundaries further than any time since the 1979 revolution.
5. ...Including when it comes to fashion.
6. They're well educated.
7. Like their Western counterparts, young adults in Iran struggle with joblessness.
8. They're in no hurry to get married.
9. Young Iran's frustration is reflected in soaring drug use.
10. The post-1979 generation are Iran's baby boomers.
11. They are politically active.
12. They have an active, often snarky, online community.
13. They want Iran to adopt a new way of thinking.

In true Nigella style, I decided to get a touch indulgent with this festive December recipe. A wonderful excuse to crack open a bottle of Prosecco as you cook and the end result will taste all the better with a slight level of merriment! The Prosecco in this dish is added to increase the flavour and produces a syrupy and fragrant sauce. To note, alcohol evaporates after 20-30 seconds of cooking so this dish is suitable for all ages.
In addition to being a tasty and nutritional, well-rounded dish, the cooking process is very straightforward and all the ingredients can be easily sourced.
Ingredients Serves 4
3 tbsp flour, lightly seasoned with salt, freshly ground black pepper and 1 tbsp orange zest
1.4kg chicken, portioned and trimmed
150g pancetta, diced
12 small shallots, peeled and halved
1 red chilli, finely chopped
2 tsp chopped rosemary
500ml Prosecco or any dry sparkling wine
salt and freshly ground black pepper
rosemary sprigs, to garnish
1 Heat a large casserole pan with the olive oil over a medium heat. Put the seasoned flour and chicken portions into a clear plastic bag and toss until the chicken is well coated. Remove the chicken portions and brown them in batches by placing them skin side down into the pan. Transfer to a plate.
2 Add the pancetta to the pan and cook until crisp. Lower the heat and add the shallots, chilli and rosemary and sauté for about 4 minutes.
3 Return the chicken to the pan, pour over the Prosecco and allow to simmer for 20–25 minutes, until a fragrant syrupy sauce begins to form. Season to taste.
4 Check that the chicken is cooked by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh – the juices should run clear. Serve with a warm red pepper and bean salad and garnish with rosemary sprigs
Based on a recipe from Eat like an Italian, by Catherine Fulvio

Poston Chronicle
The Poston Chronicle was published in the Poston (Colorado River) concentration camp, Arizona, from May 1942 to September 1945. The newspaper was staffed mainly by camp inmates who wrote the articles, set the type, and printed the final copies. Poston consisted of three separate sections, designated Poston I, II and III. As a result, many of the Chronicle's issues contain pages contributed by the different sections.

Webster and Brummel are scheduled to discuss issues facing children and how those issues impact their lives. Webster will also talk about the impact athletics has on developing a stable foundation. Brummel will explain an initiative to have better academic and athletic services available for young girls in the community. Ballmer is scheduled to speak about the need for more awareness around programs that engage youth in a combination of sports and athletics. The mission of the A PLUS Youth program is to provide academic preparation, specialized athletic training and civic engagement workshops in an effort to develop the skills necessary for youth to become successful leaders. For more information about the event or the organization, visit www.aplusyouthprogram.org or call 206-450-8195. The A PLUS mentor program held an event on Sunday May 1, taking the students in the program to Seattle Fire Station 28. Those in attendance were given a tour the facility and learned about the history of Seattle's fire and emergency medic programs. They also competed in a relay-race, wound a 100-foot water hose, observed the components of the rigorous firefighter training program and learned about the leadership, professional and educational skills and requirements it takes to become an eligible candidate for the job. Here is a video link, showing what the kids experienced on their visit to the fire station. Click here. Comments

We knew it was funny but the song really took on a life of it's own as a positive message to nerds everywhere. Finn Wolfhard from Stranger Things came on to play little Danny and it's hilarious. The video reached a million views in 24 hours and at one point was the #1 trending video on YouTube - and continues to grow!

"They met through their friends Erica and Mike. Danielle came with Erica to Mike's birthday dinner. Although, they didn't talk very much that evening, besides Tim showing Danielle a few pictures of Misty (his dog) on his phone. Thankfully, Tim's friend Christian had the hunch that Danielle found him attractive and they had the chance to meet again several weeks later. This time, Danielle attended a house party with Erica thrown by Tim's friend Mike and his housemates. With new found confidence thanks to Christian's intel, Tim began to start a conversation with Danielle, sticking close by most of the evening. At the end of the evening, Tim offered Danielle a ride home and asked for her number. He decided to wait the customary "3 day rule" and finally called to ask Danielle out on a date.
Their first date was a great one. Tim and Danielle went to an Italian restaurants in Old Town Pasadena and the waiter had to come by several times before they were ready to order because they were enjoying our time talking so much. Over the course of the evening we both quickly realized this was something we wanted to continue to pursue. And the rest is history!
Tim proposed with an exciting scavenger hunt with bottled notes that required a new cipher for each clue. The clues led them on a trip down memory lane of all the significant moments of their relationship and ended with Tim proposing at Pasadena City Hall. Tim and Danielle love spending time together walking their dog Misty, spending time outdoors hiking or riding bicycles together, and enjoy playing music together. They have also enjoyed fixing up our new house like Chip and Joanna Gaines!
I'm so excited that I was able to photograph Tim and Danielle's wedding day as they continue this journey of life together as newlyweds!

Online TV and advertising
Today's LA Times had a quartet of stories devoted to online TV and advertising issues. In no particular order:
Meg James holds forth on The CW's entertaining approach to commercials, which garnered higher ratings than the shows they supported (umm, not a great sign for the network's programming). The inevitable result: a show that is, itself, a commercial for several products. Hmmm... sounds like the average kids show....
Michelle Quinn writes about the marketing alliance between HP and DreamWorks Animation, which begat the YeTube channel on YouTube. (Click here to see a YeTube video that conveys what it's like to interview someone from Apple.)
Dawn Chmielewski tells of the impending rise of Stevie Ryan (a.k.a. Little Loca) from YouTube star to reality TV host. That is a move up, right? Right?
And Alana Semuels reports on Web advertising agency 24/7 Real Media getting snapped up by the world's second-largest advertising firm, WPP Group.
