The following statement is being issued by Waters Kraus Paul & Siegel, LLP and Complex Law Group, LLC, regarding In re Cobb EMC Class Action, Civil Action File No. 10:100353-48.
Please Read this Notice Carefully – It May Affect Your Rights. This Notice is given pursuant to an Order of the Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia.
If you have questions please call 1-888-292-8850 or visitwww.cobbemcsettlement.com.
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a court has taken the first step in approving the settlement of a class action lawsuit. The parties in the lawsuit In re Cobb EMC Class Action, Civil Action File No. 10:100353-48 pending in the Superior Court of Cobb County, State of Georgia entered into a Stipulation of Settlement ("Settlement") which was preliminarily approved by the Court on October 10, 2013.
You may have received prior notice or completed forms relating to the years 1957-1971. This Settlement includes all members of Cobb EMC atany time between 1938 and December 31, 2012.
What is This Lawsuit About?
The lawsuit claims that Cobb EMC's prior board and management failed and refused to retire capital credits belonging to former and current members. As a non-profit cooperative, Cobb EMC does not issue stock and does not have shareholders. Instead, Cobb EMC is owned by its members, who hold "capital credits" rather than shares. Members earn capital credits when Cobb EMC's income exceeds its expenses in a given year. The difference is referred to as "margin" and is allocated as capital credits to Cobb EMC's members in proportion to the amount of business each did with the cooperative during the year. Allocated margins are retained and used by an EMC as capital for a number of years, typically between 10 to 30 years, but eventually "retired" in a series of capital credit distributions referred to as a revolving plan. The lawsuit contends that Cobb EMC failed and refused to adopt a reasonable revolving plan or to retire capital credits on a schedule consistent with its obligations. The lawsuit generally alleges causes of action against Cobb EMC for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and declaratory relief. Cobb EMC denies any wrongdoing and the Court has not made a final decision either way. The parties have agreed to resolve this case by Settlement to avoid the time, expense and uncertainty associated with continued litigation, and to provide benefits to former and current members as soon as practical.
Are You Affected?
If you were a member of Cobb EMC at any time on or before December 31, 2012, your rights will be affected if the Settlement is approved, whether you act or do not act.
What are the Terms of the Settlement?
If approved, the Settlement provides the following primary benefits to Class Members:
- $98 Million Settlement Fund. Cobb EMC will pay up to $98 million for the benefit of Class Members, including attorneys' fees and expenses of litigation. Class Members will be entitled to receive an immediate cash payment, without any discount, for the capital credits allocated to them through the first half of 1988 (as specified in the Stipulation of Settlement and for all years not already paid); and
- Class Members will additionally be entitled to receive the specified capital credits allocated to them from the second half of 1988 up through December 31, 2012, either in a one-time payment discounted to present value (utilizing a 12% discount rate), or paid out over 24.6 years without discount.
- Cobb EMC will also pay pre-2013 Generation and Transmission Capital Credits if and when Cobb EMC receives payment in cash of such credits. As of December 31, 2012, Cobb EMC had approximately $116 million of G&T Capital Credits allocated to it. Historically, Cobb EMC has not received payment of these credits.
All costs of providing notice and administering the Settlement will be paid by Cobb EMC in addition to the Settlement Fund and will not impact the benefits to Class Members.
What Are My Legal Rights?

By participating in the Settlement, you will be bound by all orders of the Court about the Settlement. If the Settlement is approved, related legal claims against Cobb EMC will be released.

("Final Approval Hearing"). Attorneys' fees and costs will only be awarded after the Court has determined they are fair and reasonable.

Switching dentists can be a hard decision, but patients need to make a change if they notice things aren't working out with the current practice. Knowing when to make the move can be hard, but there are some tips you can follow to help you find your new dental office or dental clinic in the Grand Island, NE area.
There are signs you can look out for that indicate it may be time to start your search to find your next dental practice. At Downtown Dental, we welcome new patients to our practice, and strive to provide exceptional service to patients of all ages. We know how important finding the right dentist is, and we go above and beyond to provide the highest level of service and care for our patients!
What Are Some Signs That Indicate it May Be Time to Switch Dental Practices?
- Your dentist has retired or moved
- You have decided to move away from the area
- Appointments tend to be at inconvenient times
- Getting to your dentist is difficult, and the practice may be in an inconvenient location
- The practice does not offer the dental procedures you need
- Your friends or family have recommended another practice that sounds like it may be a better fit
- You have had to call the billing department and dispute charges multiple times
- Your dental insurance has changed
- You do not feel comfortable with the recommended treatment plan at your current dentist
How Should I Go About Switching Dentists?
Once you have made the decision to switch dentists you can focus on finding your new practice. Making sure the new dentist is a good fit is important, and there are many things to consider. Think about what type of dental practice you would like for you and your family. Would a family practice work better and if so, make sure the new practice can provide all of the necessary services for your entire family. Research if the practice offers orthodontics if you have teenagers, should you need that type of treatment. This will help to eliminate the need for switching dentists again in the future.
Do your research and check out some online reviews to read about the dentist's certifications or background. Read about the mission statement to understand the practice values, and how the practice is run. Make sure the facility is updated, and has the latest technology and advanced procedures available.
Once you have done your research and have found a dentist you think may be a good fit, schedule a visit to check out the practice. This way you can see firsthand if you are comfortable, and if your family would benefit from joining the practice.
When visiting the office take mental notes of important things such as how you are treated during your visit, and how long it takes you to get to and from the practice. Ask the staff if you can have a tour of the office to ensure the practice meets your expectations.

U.S. Consumer Inflation Muted Despite Food Price Spike
U.S. consumer prices rose marginally in February, but the lack of inflation pressures will probably not dissuade the Federal Reserve from dialing back its monetary stimulus.
The Labor Department said on Tuesday its Consumer Price Index nudged up 0.1 percent as a decline in gasoline prices offset an increase in the cost of food.
The CPI had ticked up 0.1 percent in January and last month's gain was in line with economists' expectations.
In the 12 months through February, consumer prices increased 1.1 percent, slowing from a 1.6 percent rise in January. The February increase was the smallest rise since October last year.
Stripping out the volatile energy and food components, the so-called core CPI also rose 0.1 percent for a third straight month. In the 12 months through February, core CPI rose 1.6 percent after rising by the same margin in January.
Consumer inflation is running below the Fed's 2 percent target, which suggests interest rates will probably remain near record low levels even as the U.S. central bank cuts back on the amount of money it is injecting into the economy each month.
With job growth accelerating and industrial production and consumer spending strengthening, economists expect the Fed to announce another $10 billion reduction to its monthly bond purchases when policymakers end a two-day meeting on Wednesday.
Last month, food prices rose 0.4 percent, the largest increase since September 2011. That accounted for more than half of the increase in the CPI last month.
There were big increases in the prices of meat, fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables and fruits.
Gasoline prices declined for a second month, helping to offset sharp gains in the price of heating oil and natural gas.
Within the core CPI, a 0.2 percent rise in the cost of shelter was the major contributor for the rise in the index. There were also increases in medical care, recreation and new vehicle prices. Prices for tobacco, used cars and trucks, apparel and household furnishings and operations fell.

President Trump said auto executives are being given the "go ahead" to make ventilators and other metal products to help combat the shortages due to the coronavirus pandemic. It's unclear what other "metal" products Trump was referring to.
Despite the encouraging tweet, at this point Trump has not officially ordered any companies to make these critical supplies through the Defense Production Act, which he invoked on Wednesday.
The DPA, a law dating back to the Cold War, allows for the control of the production and distribution of scarce materials deemed "essential to the national defense." In his executive order, Trump specifically cites personal protective equipment (like face masks) and ventilators as meeting the criteria in this provision.
On CNN Sunday morning, FEMA administrator Pete Gaynor cleared up some confusion, explaining Trump hasn't had to enforce the Defense Production Act because critical supplies are being donated by companies.
"We haven't yet and it really is leverage you know, to demonstrate that we can use it, the president can use it any time," Gaynor said on CNN. "It's happening without using that lever."

Trump called out Ford, General Motors and Tesla by name in his tweet on Sunday.
NPR's Camila Domonoske reportedlast week that both Ford and General Motors have talked with the White House about the possibility of manufacturing these critical supplies.
On Friday, General Motors announced it was partnering with Ventec Life Systems, a medical device company, to increase production of its respiratory care systems, rather than making ventilators on its own.
According to a joint statement, Ventec will leverage GM's logistics, purchasing and manufacturing expertise to build more of its critically important ventilators.
"We are working closely with Ventec to rapidly scale up production of their critically important respiratory products to support our country's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic," said Mary Barra, GM Chairman and CEO. "We will continue to explore ways to help in this time of crisis."
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, chimed in on Twitter, saying he had a "long engineering" discussion with the company Medtronic, a medical device maker.
Just had a long engineering discussion with Medtronic about state-of-the-art ventilators. Very impressive team!
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 21, 2020
In the U.K., the British government has asked companies to start work on producing basic ventilators to help the country's National Health Service cope with the spread of coronavirus, according to Reuters.
And in Italy, army technicians have been sent to help on production lines at ventilator companies, Reuters reported.

Last 100 posts, part 6
[This is a semi-regular feature following up on stuff I've posted here recently.]
As expected, the Digg vs. Slashdot post got featured on Digg but not on Slashdot. In my analysis, I noted:
The Digg link happened late Saturday night in the US and the Slashdot link occurred midday on Sunday. Traffic to sites like Slashdot and Digg are typically lower during the weekend than during the weekday and also less late at night. So, Digg might be at somewhat of a disadvantage here and this is perhaps not an apples to apples comparison.
Several folks complained about this, some saying that it invalided the whole thing. The Digging of the DvS piece gives us another look at the Digg effect, from right in the middle of a weekday. Digg #2 was dugg 1441 times, got 98 comments, and sent around 10,200 people to kottke.org. By contrast, Digg #1 was dugg 1387 times, garnered 65 comments, and sent ~20,000 people to kottke.org. Digg #1 was actually more successful in driving traffic to kottke.org on a Saturday night than Digg #2 on a Thursday afternoon. Here's a graph that compares the three events:
It's hard to see the exact effect of Digg #2 on this graph (I forgot to grab a screenshot of the bandwidth graph when it happened, so all I have is the historical wide view), but it doesn't stand out that much from what happened the previous day (each one of those "bumps" is a day) and didn't have much of an effect beyond the initial spike. However, judging from the traffic that the individual Digg pages drove to kottke.org (Digg #1: 4525 people; Digg #2: 2668 people), it looks like the iPod feature was more interesting to the Digg audience than the Digg v. Slashdot post (which makes sense). So, still not exactly a fair comparison and raises more questions than provides answers.
The James Frey thread ended up with almost 950 comments before I shut it down because of redundancy and a lot of nastiness on the part of a few participants. The kottke.org record for most comments on a post is nearly 1800 on this post about The Matrix Reloaded (continued here)….that conversation, while nerdy, was a lot more civil.
After reading some of those comments and other things written about the controversy (but without having read the book), my take on Frey is that memories are subjective and readers need to cut authors some slack on that when writing memoirs. However, Frey stepped over the line in manufacturing situations that didn't happen and deserves the backlashing he's now receiving. My favorite observation on this whole deal was made by Stephen on a mailing list we're both on. In a 2003 interview for The Observer, Frey said:
I don't give a fuck what Jonathan Safran whatever-his-name or what David Foster Wallace does. I don't give a fuck what any of those people do. I don't hang out with them, I'm not friends with them, I'm not part of the literati…A book [Eggers' AHBWOSG] that I thought was mediocre was being hailed as the best book written by the best writer of my generation. Fuck that. And fuck him and fuck anybody who says that. I don't give a fuck what they think about me.
To Oprah on Larry King last week, Frey had this to say:
I admire you tremendously and thank you very much for your support. And, you know, it's — I'm still incredibly honored to be associated with you, and I will for the rest of my life. Thank you.
The man knows who buttered his bread, that's for sure. Oh, and The Onion's take is good too. "Accounts of assault with a deadly weapon, narcotics possession, and incitement of riot actually happened during 2002 Grand Theft Auto session."
Several folks picked up on the year in cities meme…check out the trackbacks on my post and on IceRocket for a bunch of other people's lists.
Many didn't realize that my letter to Apple Support was a joke. Sure, I had post-MacWorld gadget lust, but my new Powerbook is great, does everything I want, and I don't really want the new one. Besides, everyone knows you don't buy the first version of new Apple hardware…I'm waiting until they work all the kinks out. Here's a not-so-positive review of the MacBook Pro announcement at Unsanity.
More chatter about the new corporate logos for Kodak, Intel, UPS, and AT&T.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The death was startling even to the coroner: a boy only 8 years old apparently killing himself in his Cincinnati bedroom.
Now Gabriel Taye's January death is being re-examined, after it emerged that he was bullied and knocked unconscious at school two days before he died.
Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Sammarco's office has ruled Gabriel's death a suicide, but she said last week that she was reopening the investigation to re-examine the boy's injuries and whether there were contributing factors to his death.
"It was very hard for me to believe that an 8-year-old would even know what it means to commit suicide," Sammarco said.
Suicides are rare among children so young, but not unheard of. Statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show an average of 14 suicides per year nationwide among children 10 or younger since 1999. That compares to over 1,400 per year among 11- to 18-year-olds.
At 8, children generally are just coming to understand death, says Dr. Louis Kraus, chief of child psychiatry at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Conceiving of ending their own lives can be even more remote.
"It's possible, but at this young age, it's very uncommon," Kraus said. Even if a child has an idea of suicide, "many kids this young really don't conceptualize the permanency of what they're doing and what could happen."
Experts stress that at any age, suicide is a complex decision that often reflects a combination of life events and psychiatric problems, whether diagnosed or not.
Warning signs can be harder to read in young children than older people, said Dr. Alec Miller, chief of child and adolescent psychology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. But while kids might not have the vocabulary to discuss depression, it still might show up, perhaps as a change in behavior or complaints about aches or fatigue with no physical explanation, Kraus notes.
Gabriel had no history of mental health issues, said Carla Leader, a lawyer for his mother, Cornelia Reynolds. People who knew him describe him as a happy-go-lucky kid - "a very loving little boy who always had a smile on his face and would bring a smile to your face," said Carolyn Emery, whose children went to school with him.
Gabriel was at school Jan. 24 when, as seen on a choppy surveillance video the Cincinnati Public Schools system released Friday, he apparently tried to shake hands with a boy who had hit another child. Attorneys for Gabriel's mother said the boy pushed Gabriel into a wall, knocking him unconscious.
An assistant principal arrived about 4 ½ minutes later to look at him. The school system said that it was "concerned about the length of time that (the boy) lay motionless and the lack of adult supervision at the scene" but that administrators followed protocol by having the nurse evaluate him. School officials said the boy told staff he had fainted and never said he had been bullied or assaulted.
They said school administrators asked Reynolds to get Gabriel and take him to a hospital. But her attorneys say she decided on her own to pick him up and take him to the hospital after her sister, who was baby-sitting while Reynolds was at work, called to say that Gabriel had vomited and was complaining of stomach pains. Doctors concluded he likely had a stomach virus and sent him home.
Two days later, Gabriel hanged himself in his bedroom with a necktie, authorities said.
According to her attorneys, Reynolds didn't learn of the schoolhouse confrontation until her attorneys got a copy of a police investigative file that described the surveillance video.
Associated Press writers Lisa Cornwell in Cincinnati and Mike Stobbe in New York contributed to this report.

Structure | Sample Message | Related Messages DescriptionThe resend request is sent by the receiving application to initiate the retransmission of messages. This function is utilized if a sequence number gap is detected, if the receiving application lost a message, or as a function of the initialization process. The resend request can be used to request a single message, a range of messages or all messages subsequent to a particular message. Note: the sending application may wish to consider the message type when resending messages; e.g. if a new order is in the resend series and a significant time period has elapsed since its original inception, the sender may not wish to retransmit the order given the potential for changed market conditions. (The Sequence Reset-GapFill <4> message is used to skip messages that a sender does not wish to resend.) Note: it is imperative that the receiving application process messages in sequence order, e.g. if message number 7 is missed and 8-9 received, the application should ignore 8 and 9 and ask for a resend of 7-9, or, preferably, 7-0 (0 represents infinity). This latter approach is strongly recommended to recover from out of sequence conditions as it allows for faster recovery in the presence of certain race conditions when both sides are simultaneously attempting to recover a gap.

I've not been able to make it to a Dragonmeet in many, many years. 2007 was the last one I attended when I was on a panel with some very recognisable names in the RPG world.
Dragonmeet 2007:(L-R) - Me, Dominic McDowall-Thomas, Chris Birch Angus Abranson and Fred Hicks |
Since then, Dragonmeet has changed hands, changed location, and attendance seems to have increased tremendously - looks like it's going to be a busy one!
I'll be filming a little for the vid-blogs while I'm there, but those lovely people at Cubicle 7 have deemed me important enough to do a signing! I'll be at their stand at 2.30pm, signing the last remaining copies of the Limited Edition Anniversary Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space RPG core rulebook. I must admit, I never thought I was important enough for a signing... I've not really done anything like that before... okay, sure I had a stand at the last UKCAC for the comic, but it's different when a publisher asks you to do a signing rather than you just pimping your own produce.
Seems especially weird when the other name for signings they have is the legend that is Joe Dever, creator of Lone Wolf. The guy is a legend, I'm honoured and a little baffled to be even given remotely similar billing to him on C7's page...
If you're attending Dragonmeet, come and say "hi"!! I'll be the bald one with a red tie and Autocratik badge (courtesy of Chimeric Garnish).

Paint removal usually requires a highly toxic chemical to get the job done, but for small metal objects, DIY site The Family Handyman recommends dropping your paint-coated hardware into a slow cooker with some water.
Obviously you don't want to go grabbing your favorite slow cooker off the shelf for this, but if you have an old one collecting dust or you score one cheap at a thrift store, the paint removal process is incredibly simple. Fill the slow cooker with water, set the dial to high, drop whatever hardware you want to strip paint from inside, and leave it overnight. You do need to be careful what type of material and paint you're working with though. The Family Handyman explains:
This works on oil, latex and spray paints, but it may not remove some clear finishes like lacquer. Cooking the hardware may stain or contaminate the pot, so use an old one or buy a new one for less than $20. This method won't harm hardware made of non-rusting metals like copper, brass or aluminum. You'll end up with a little rust on steel-not enough to ruin hidden parts like hinge pins or screws, but possibly enough to roughen shiny surfaces. If the steel has a plating like chrome or brass and the plating is already flaking off, this method will cause more flaking.
As a chemical-free and no-hassle paint removal process it might come in handy for hardware like hinges or window locks. Have some paint-removal tricks of your own?

Review by Gillian Daniels
Lightly adapting the The Tempest and playing fast and loose with source materials of multiples mythologies, Amaluna patches together dreamy images and circus acts into one, outlandish show. It's energetic and fittingly over-the-top. Cirque du Soleil has an image to maintain as a thoroughly extravagant circus and they continue this grand tradition by marrying the flashiness of Las Vegas to a syrupy storyline. Continue reading

sermon given by Pastor Ken Crow
[source: SermonCentral.com]
Summary: We are a creation of God for a specific purpose.
God Is The Potter We Are The Clay
Isaiah 64:8 (King James Version)
8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
1. We are a creation of God designed for a specific purpose.
Jeremiah 1:5 (King James Version)
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations
Many people today are searching for the meaning of their life .
We are created for God's plan.
2. Jeremiah 18:1-6 (King James Version)
Jeremiah 18
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
In the days of Jeremiah all pottery was for some specific use. The clay was shaped and formed into vessels . All vessels were not alike. Each vessel was unique in some way and were designed according to need. Each vessel was important . No vessels were created that were not useful or needed.
Today each one of us is created to serve God. We are all unique in some way. We are all needed and important to God.
A potter is patient . Sometimes the vessel becomes marred. The potter reshapes it again and again and works out the marred places in the vessel. The clay is never thrown away by the potter.
God loves us and never throws us away.
No matter how bad we are marred we still have the opportunity with God to be what he created us to be. As long as breath is within our body we can allow Jesus Christ to form us and shape us into his will.
3. The clay is totally submitted to the potter. Completely at the will of the potter.
Jesus even prayed to God the father the following in Luke 22:42:
nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
We are all clay.
I submit to you today that no one is their own potter.
We have an enemy who desires to see us marred.
We live in a world where circumstance and situations tend to creep in and determine our direction.
God was telling Jeremiah that Israel could have a new beginning if they would submit to him and obey his word and will.
We too this morning can have a new beginning in Jesus Christ.
We will close this morning with three scriptures that we need to remind ourselves daily .
Romans 8:38-39 (King James Version)
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (King James Version)
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
God Bless and Amen

Caring for your cycling gear properly will extend its life and maintain its performance, fit and quality. It's important to consider these instructions carefully. While we stand behind the quality of our apparel, not adhering to these instructions will void our warranty against manufacturing & defects.
We strongly recommend washing your new gear before wearing it. You'll find that your apparel will soften, and fit & comfort will improve after washing - especially with bibs & shorts.
Machine wash cool, 86°F (30°C) with like colors: Cooler temps maintain better longevity for your apparel. Like colors, especially lights, will remain more vibrant when washed with like colors.
Use mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean: Strong detergents & bleach can break down the fibers and elastane in the garment, dramatically reducing its life.
Close all fastenings: this goes also for other garments mixed in with your cycling apparel. Velcro closures or clasps can catch on stitching or trim and damage your garments.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry: Do not put your cycling apparel in the dryer. Even on low heat. Don't do it. Heat can damage fabric, elastic and heat transfer logos very easily. Lycra (Elastane) is used throughout our garments to provide compression and support and is susceptible to damage from heat and can irreparably damage your apparel.

What is Family Treatment Court?
Family Treatment Court (FTC) is a special program designed to help respondents and their children get back together and stay together. This program is designed to service individuals who have a neglect case against them with alcohol or substance abuse allegations. The FTC staff will help the parents recover from alcohol or substance abuse and work toward reuniting parents with their children.
The Family Treatment Court's case management unit has the ability to quickly identify and link addicted parents charged with neglect to appropriate drug treatment programs.
FTC monitors compliance, responds to progress and/or problems through graduated sanctions/rewards, establishes cooperation and communication among agencies involved in the reunification process, assures all information is up-to-date and comprehensive and ultimately seeks to speed the entire court process, enabling the children to return more swiftly to recovered parents or achieve other permanent homes.
How does a Family Treatment Court Case Begin?
Once a person is accused of child neglect and a neglect petition is filed with the Family Court by ACS, a FTC screening clerk determines if substance abuse has been alleged and if the case meets other specific screening criteria for the Treatment Court. Eligible cases are sent immediately to Treatment Court for intake, arraignment and orientation.
There are no filing fees in Family Court.
What cases are eligible for Family Treatment Court?
Child neglect cases where alcohol or substance abuse has been alleged in the petition by the Administration for Children's Services (ACS) meeting the following specific screening criteria: open /pending cases are reviewed on a case by case basis; respondent is over 18 years old, At least one respondent named in the petition must be independently eligible for FTC participation, and respondent's whereabouts must be known. Petition's containing allegations of child abuse, excessive corporal punishment, serious domestic violence, and mental illness are excluded, (except for depression).
What happens at a Fact-Finding Hearing?
When a respondent agrees to participate in the Family Treatment Court Program they make an admission of neglect due to substance abuse and sign the Treatment Court contract, in which they formally agree to the treatment plan and agree to abide by all Treatment Court Rules and Regulations. This appearance constitutes a fact-finding. At this appearance respondents agree to waive their right to petition the court for the immediate return of the children.
What happens at a Case Conference?
Upon admission into the treatment court program, a case conference is held. The respondent's attorney, the child's law guardian, and ACS lawyer and court liaison meet with the clinical staff to implement a treatment plan. The respondent reviews the plan with his or attorney and commences participation in the Treatment Court program for referral of services.
What happens at Court Appearances?
Court appearances in Family Treatment Court are very detailed sessions. Each respondent is tested for alcohol and illicit substances on-site at the treatment court at every court appearance. At each appearance, respondents compliance with treatment and permanency planning for the children will be addressed. Also, the placement, educational status, health and potential service needs of children are reviewed. Existing orders are updated and new orders are drafted. Detailed visitation orders, including time, frequency, location and supervision status are developed and modified regularly in the courtroom.
What happens at a Disposition?
Family Treatment Court dispositional orders can vary widely. Child may be placed in foster care until completion of the first permanency hearing which will be stated in the dispositional order. Some dispositional orders may place the child in foster care granting the agency authority to parole or discharge the child to the parent at some later point and in some cases a dispositional order may release a child to a parent. For noncompliant respondents, dispositional orders will likely place the children in foster care.
What is a Family Treatment Court Graduation?
Respondents who meet all Family Treatment Court requirements and implement a permanency plan for the children that is acceptable to the court will be eligible for graduation. Graduation usually marks the end of Court supervision of the family. However, in many situations, ACS may continue to provide support and services. Also, any family can continue to receive services through the Court's case management unit voluntarily.

And now, my card!!
I started off my card with a piece of Tim Holtz Distress watercolor paper. I ink blended a lavender halo of color using Faded Lilac ink. Then I diecut the paper with the largest die from the Small Dotted Rectangles die set. I added a hill using the Simple Stitched Hillside borders die. Then I stamped, colored and diecut images from Baaah Humbug, one of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets. I popped everything up with foam tape, added a scattering of Mini Snowflakes and some white gel pen accents, and stamped a sentiment from the same set. Finally, I popped the panel up on a white card base to finish the card.
That's it for me today!! Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

An Emory University neuro-imaging study shows that personal values that people refuse to disavow, even when offered cash to do so, are processed differently in the brain than those values that are willingly sold.
"Our experiment found that the realm of the sacred – whether it's a strong religious belief, a national identity or a code of ethics – is a distinct cognitive process," says Gregory Berns, director of the Center for Neuropolicy at Emory University and lead author of the study. The results were published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.
Sacred values prompt greater activation of an area of the brain associated with rules-based, right-or-wrong thought processes, the study showed, as opposed to the regions linked to processing of costs-versus-benefits.
Berns headed a team that included economists and information scientists from Emory University, a psychologist from the New School for Social Research and anthropologists from the Institute Jean Nicod in Paris, France. The research was funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the National Science Foundation.
"We've come up with a method to start answering scientific questions about how people make decisions involving sacred values, and that has major implications if you want to better understand what influences human behavior across countries and cultures," Berns says. "We are seeing how fundamental cultural values are represented in the brain."
The researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to record the brain responses of 32 U.S. adults during key phases of an experiment. In the first phase, participants were shown statements ranging from the mundane, such as "You are a tea drinker," to hot-button issues such "You support gay marriage" and "You are Pro-Life." Each of the 62 statements had a contradictory pair, such as "You are Pro-Choice," and the participants had to choose one of each pair.
At the end of the experiment, participants were given the option of auctioning their personal statements: Disavowing their previous choices for actual money. The participants could earn as much as $100 per statement by simply agreeing to sign a document stating the opposite of what they believed. They could choose to opt out of the auction for statements they valued highly.
"We used the auction as a measure of integrity for specific statements," Berns explains. "If a person refused to take money to change a statement, then we considered that value to be personally sacred to them. But if they took money, then we considered that they had low integrity for that statement and that it wasn't sacred."
The brain imaging data showed a strong correlation between sacred values and activation of the neural systems associated with evaluating rights and wrongs (the left temporoparietal junction) and semantic rule retrieval (the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex), but not with systems associated with reward.
"Most public policy is based on offering people incentives and disincentives," Berns says. "Our findings indicate that it's unreasonable to think that a policy based on costs-and-benefits analysis will influence people's behavior when it comes to their sacred personal values, because they are processed in an entirely different brain system than incentives."
Research participants who reported more active affiliations with organizations, such as churches, sports teams, musical groups and environmental clubs, had stronger brain activity in the same brain regions that correlated to sacred values. "Organized groups may instill values more strongly through the use of rules and social norms," Berns says.
The experiment also found activation in the amygdala region, a brain region associated with emotional reactions, but only in cases where participants refused to take cash to state the opposite of what they believe. "Those statements represent the most repugnant items to the individual," Berns says, "and would be expected to provoke the most arousal, which is consistent with the idea that when sacred values are violated, that induces moral outrage."
The study is part of a special issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, titled "The Biology of Cultural Conflict." Berns edited the special issue, which brings together a dozen articles on the culture of neuroscience, including differences in the neural processing of people on the opposing sides of conflict, from U.S. Democrats and Republicans to Arabs and Israelis.
"As culture changes, it affects our brains, and as our brains change, that affects our culture. You can't separate the two," Berns says. "We now have the means to start understanding this relationship, and that's putting the relatively new field of cultural neuroscience onto the global stage."
Future conflicts over politics and religion will likely play out biologically, Berns says. Some cultures will choose to change their biology, and in the process, change their culture, he notes. He cites the battles over women's reproductive rights and gay marriage as ongoing examples.

Read "The story of a mother" fairy tale for all children. "The story of a mother" story, is a short bedtime Story for kids written by Hans Christian Andersen about a mother whose child was very ill and she was watching over his head. Someone knocked on the door and the woman opened it. He was an old man dressed thickly because it was winter outside and it was very cold. The mother, who had not slept for a long time, fell asleep for a few seconds, and the old man, who was in fact Death, took the child and ran away with him. When she woke up, the mother saw that her child had disappeared and ran outside, where she met the Night, who told the mother where to find her child. The Mother arrived in a forest and seeing a bush, asked him if he had seen where Death and her child had passed.
A mother sat by her little child; she was very sad, for she feared it would die. It was quite pale, and its little eyes were closed, and sometimes it drew a heavy deep breath, almost like a sigh; and then the mother gazed more sadly than ever on the poor little creature, Some one knocked at the door, and a poor old man walked in. He was wrapped in something that looked like a great horse-cloth; and he required it truly to keep him warm, for it was cold winter; the country everywhere lay covered with snow and ice, and the wind blew so sharply that it cut one's face. The little child had dozed off to sleep for a moment, and the mother seeing that the old man shivered with the cold, rose and placed a small mug of beer on the stove to warm for him. The old man sat and rocked the cradle; and the mother seated herself on a chair near him, and looked at her sick child who still breathed heavily, and took hold of its little hand.
"You think I shall keep him, do you not?" she said. "Our all-merciful God will surely not take him away from me."
The old man, who was indeed Death himself, nodded his head in a peculiar manner, which might have signified either Yes, or No; and the mother cast down her eyes, while the tears rolled down her cheeks. Then her head became heavy, for she had not closed her eyes for three days and nights, and she slept, but only for a moment. Shivering with cold, she started up and looked round the room. The old man was gone, and her child—it was gone too!—the old man had taken it with him. In the corner of the room the old clock began to strike; "whirr" went the chains, the heavy weight sank to the ground, and the clock stopped; and the poor mother rushed out of the house calling for her child. Out in the snow sat a woman in long black garments, and she said to the mother, "Death has been with you in your room. I saw him hastening away with your little child; he strides faster than the wind, and never brings back what he has taken away."
"Only tell me which way he has gone," said the mother; "tell me the way, I will find him."
"I know the way," said the woman in the black garments; "but before I tell you, you must sing to me all the songs that you have sung to your child; I love these songs, I have heard them before. I am Night, and I saw your tears flow as you sang."
"I will sing them all to you," said the mother; "but do not detain me now. I must overtake him, and find my child."
But Night sat silent and still. Then the mother wept and sang, and wrung her hands. And there were many songs, and yet even more tears; till at length Night said, "Go to the right, into the dark forest of fir-trees; for I saw Death take that road with your little child."
Within the wood the mother came to cross roads, and she knew not which to take. Just by stood a thorn-bush; it had neither leaf nor flower, for it was the cold winter time, and icicles hung on the branches. "Have you not seen Death go by, with my little child?" she asked.
"Yes," replied the thorn-bush; "but I will not tell you which way he has taken until you have warmed me in your bosom. I am freezing to death here, and turning to ice."
Then she pressed the bramble to her bosom quite close, so that it might be thawed, and the thorns pierced her flesh, and great drops of blood flowed; but the bramble shot forth fresh green leaves, and they became flowers on the cold winter's night, so warm is the heart of a sorrowing mother. Then the bramble-bush told her the path she must take. She came at length to a great lake, on which there was neither ship nor boat to be seen. The lake was not frozen sufficiently for her to pass over on the ice, nor was it open enough for her to wade through; and yet she must cross it, if she wished to find her child. Then she laid herself down to drink up the water of the lake, which was of course impossible for any human being to do; but the bereaved mother thought that perhaps a miracle might take place to help her. "You will never succeed in this," said the lake; "let us make an agreement together which will be better. I love to collect pearls, and your eyes are the purest I have ever seen. If you will weep those eyes away in tears into my waters, then I will take you to the large hothouse where Death dwells and rears flowers and trees, every one of which is a human life."
"Oh, what would I not give to reach my child!" said the weeping mother; and as she still continued to weep, her eyes fell into the depths of the lake, and became two costly pearls.
Then the lake lifted her up, and wafted her across to the opposite shore as if she were on a swing, where stood a wonderful building many miles in length. No one could tell whether it was a mountain covered with forests and full of caves, or whether it had been built. But the poor mother could not see, for she had wept her eyes into the lake. "Where shall I find Death, who went away with my little child?" she asked.
"He has not arrived here yet," said an old gray-haired woman, who was walking about, and watering Death's hothouse. "How have you found your way here? and who helped you?"
"God has helped me," she replied. "He is merciful; will you not be merciful too? Where shall I find my little child?"
"I did not know the child," said the old woman; "and you are blind. Many flowers and trees have faded to-night, and Death will soon come to transplant them. You know already that every human being has a life-tree or a life-flower, just as may be ordained for him. They look like other plants; but they have hearts that beat. Children's hearts also beat: from that you may perhaps be able to recognize your child. But what will you give me, if I tell you what more you will have to do?"
"I have nothing to give," said the afflicted mother; "but I would go to the ends of the earth for you."
"I can give you nothing to do for me there," said the old woman; "but you can give me your long black hair. You know yourself that it is beautiful, and it pleases me. You can take my white hair in exchange, which will be something in return."
"Do you ask nothing more than that?" said she. "I will give it to you with pleasure."
And she gave up her beautiful hair, and received in return the white locks of the old woman. Then they went into Death's vast hothouse, where flowers and trees grew together in wonderful profusion. Blooming hyacinths, under glass bells, and peonies, like strong trees. There grew water-plants, some quite fresh, and others looking sickly, which had water-snakes twining round them, and black crabs clinging to their stems. There stood noble palm-trees, oaks, and plantains, and beneath them bloomed thyme and parsley. Each tree and flower had a name; each represented a human life, and belonged to men still living, some in China, others in Greenland and in all parts of the world. Some large trees had been planted in little pots, so that they were cramped for room, and seemed about to burst the pot to pieces; while many weak little flowers were growing in rich soil, with moss all around them, carefully tended and cared for. The sorrowing mother bent over the little plants, and heard the human heart beating in each, and recognized the beatings of her child's heart among millions of others.
"That is it," she cried, stretching out her hand towards a little crocus-flower which hung down its sickly head.
"Do not touch the flower," exclaimed the old woman; "but place yourself here; and when Death comes—I expect him every minute—do not let him pull up that plant, but threaten him that if he does you will serve the other flowers in the same manner. This will make him afraid; for he must account to God for each of them. None can be uprooted, unless he receives permission to do so."
There rushed through the hothouse a chill of icy coldness, and the blind mother felt that Death had arrived.
"How did you find your way hither?" asked he; "how could you come here faster than I have?"
"I am a mother," she answered.
And Death stretched out his hand towards the delicate little flower; but she held her hands tightly round it, and held it fast at same time, with the most anxious care, lest she should touch one of the leaves. Then Death breathed upon her hands, and she felt his breath colder than the icy wind, and her hands sank down powerless.
"You cannot prevail against me," said Death.
"But a God of mercy can," said she.
"I only do His will," replied Death. "I am his gardener. I take all His flowers and trees, and transplant them into the gardens of Paradise in an unknown land. How they flourish there, and what that garden resembles, I may not tell you."
"Give me back my child," said the mother, weeping and imploring; and she seized two beautiful flowers in her hands, and cried to Death, "I will tear up all your flowers, for I am in despair."
"Do not touch them," said Death. "You say you are unhappy; and would you make another mother as unhappy as yourself?"
"Another mother!" cried the poor woman, setting the flowers free from her hands.
"There are your eyes," said Death. "I fished them up out of the lake for you. They were shining brightly; but I knew not they were yours. Take them back—they are clearer now than before—and then look into the deep well which is close by here. I will tell you the names of the two flowers which you wished to pull up; and you will see the whole future of the human beings they represent, and what you were about to frustrate and destroy."
Then she looked into the well; and it was a glorious sight to behold how one of them became a blessing to the world, and how much happiness and joy it spread around. But she saw that the life of the other was full of care and poverty, misery and woe.
"Both are the will of God," said Death.
"Which is the unhappy flower, and which is the blessed one?" she said.
"That I may not tell you," said Death; "but thus far you may learn, that one of the two flowers represents your own child. It was the fate of your child that you saw,—the future of your own child."
Then the mother screamed aloud with terror, "Which of them belongs to my child? Tell me that. Deliver the unhappy child. Release it from so much misery. Rather take it away. Take it to the kingdom of God. Forget my tears and my entreaties; forget all that I have said or done."
"I do not understand you," said Death. "Will you have your child back? or shall I carry him away to a place that you do not know?"
Then the mother wrung her hands, fell on her knees, and prayed to God, "Grant not my prayers, when they are contrary to Thy will, which at all times must be the best. Oh, hear them not;" and her head sank on her bosom.
Then Death carried away her child to the unknown land.
The End

Clément, Jérôme & Delphin were three brothers from a family of potters in Vallauris, southern France. All three worked in the family business of Jérôme Massier et Cie (Jérôme was their father's name) in Vallauris, but later worked independently.
Clément, the middle brother, born in 1845, was the most prominent of the three. He worked in Vallauris before moving to nearby Golfe-Juan, and is remembered for his lustre glazes which were later taken up by the American Weller company. He was a leading Art Nouveau figure and at the turn of the century opened a salon in Paris.
Jérôme, born 1850, and Delphin, born 1836, continued working in Vallauris. Of these two Jérôme's work is the more sought-after.

Judge axes 3 of 4 lawyers in NFL concussion case
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The federal judge overseeing the $1 billion NFL concussion settlement has terminated three of four lawyers serving as class counsel.
The surprise order Friday afternoon comes just weeks after a hearing to air complaints about new rules that limit the doctors who can evaluate retired players for dementia and other brain injuries.
Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody says she imposed the 150-miles-from-home rule to thwart doctor shopping and potential fraud alleged by the NFL as the more than $1 billion settlement fund is disbursed.
She has named New York lawyer Christopher Seeger as the only attorney left who can handle issues on behalf of the 20,000-member class.
Outgoing class counsel Gene Locks tells The Associated Press the order Friday "extinguishes any remaining hope" that clients will be protected as they move through the contentious medical testing and award process.
He told Brody at a hearing this month that there aren't enough qualified neurologists, neuropsychologists and subspecialists taking part in the program to meet the close-to-home rule.
"This court has been told, many times, in motions and in camera (chambers), factual arguments from the NFL that have been exaggerated and intended to limit their obligations to the players," Locks said.
He said the order Friday is in keeping with Brody's denial of repeated motions filed by anyone other than Seeger.
"At this point, (it) extinguishes any remaining hope that the individual interests of the class members will be adequately protected," Locks told the AP.
Seeger, in a statement, vowed to "continue to fight on behalf of former players and their families to ensure that they receive every benefit they deserve under the settlement."
Lawyers involved in the long-running case are meanwhile splitting more than $112 million in fees, with the lion's share going to Seeger's firm. He was not one of the first to bring suit against the NFL, but became a lead lawyer in the secret negotiations that led to a surprise 2013 settlement. The players' lawsuits had alleged the NFL long hid what it knew about the neurological risks of playing after concussions.
The fund is meant to last for 65 years. The awards in the first two years of payouts alone reached $500 million this month, while another $160 million in awards have been approved but not yet paid.
The plan offers retired players baseline testing and compensation of up to $5 million for the most serious illnesses linked to football concussions, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and deaths involving chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
Of the 872 awards paid to date, the average is just under $575,000, according to a claims administrator's report this month.

So, it looks like we humans may have a few more years to go as the smartest beings on the planet, before being overrun by ubiquitous sentient robots. Some may question my assertion based on recent election results in the UK and the US, but I digress.

How to Prevent Winter Dry Eye
There are several factors that contribute to the development of dry eye. Post-menopausal women are more at risk, as well as people who live in major cities with high levels of air pollution.
Cooler conditions and higher elevations can also have a significant impact on dry eye. According to the Environmental Factors and Dry Eye Syndrome study, risk for dry eye is 13 percent higher in areas of higher altitude. This makes sense, as arid weather conditions and wind can rob the eyes of moisture. However, anyone can get dry eye, regardless of latitude or elevation.
Some people can experience seasonal dry eye during fall and winter months. If you find that your eyes feel scratchy, irritated or burning when the weather turns cold, you are certainly not alone. Here are some ways to help prevent winter dry eye from affecting your vision.
- Wear sunglasses. Sunglasses create a barrier between your eyes and the outdoor elements. If you are going to be outside on a windy day, wear a pair of wraparound sunglasses to keep the wind from blowing directly into your eyes.
- Use a humidifier. When you turn on your home furnace, the humidity level of the air inside your home drops. Turn on a humidifier during winter months to add moisture back into the air.
- Eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids. Some people find that eating foods with omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce symptoms of dry eye. Mackerel, salmon, oysters, sardines, flax seed, walnuts and soybeans are a few foods that contain high amounts of omega-3s. You can also try an omega-3 supplement.
- Keep artificial tears handy. Rewetting drops or lubricating drops can offer temporary relief when your eyes feel dry and gritty. Lubricating drops may make your vision blurry for a short time, so use thinner drops when reading or doing other activities and use the thicker, more blurring drops before bedtime.
- Get a comprehensive eye exam. Talk to your eye doctor about your dry eye symptoms at your next eye exam. A thorough exam is the best way to protect your vision, prevent eye disease and treat chronic conditions like dry eye (Source: AAOA).
