"And now you hear the music, but the words don't sound too clear …"
"Inner City Blues" by Sixto Rodriguez
Former Baltimorean Craig Strydom has spent more than two decades searching for Sugar Man. And even though the music journalist tracked his elusive subject to a Detroit tenement in 1997, in many ways, he's still looking.
Sugar Man is the nickname for Sixto Rodriguez, a Mexican-American singer-songwriter who was living in dire poverty in the U.S. without ever knowing that his music was being used to fight apartheid halfway around the world. His compelling and improbable story of resurrection is chronicled in a film that just opened at the Charles Theatre.
Exactly how Strydom, one of two fans who refused to let their hero stay lost, located Rodriguez is a key part of "Searching for Sugar Man." It's fair to say that the sleuthing methods used by Strydom and music store owner Stephen Segerman were as desperate as they were ingenious.
"In South Africa, Rodriguez was bigger than the Beatles, bigger than the Rolling Stones, bigger than Elvis Presley," says Strydom, 48, who grew up in Cape Town. He returned to South Africa temporarily last month after 13 years in Baltimore, where he worked for the advertising firm IMRE.
Rodriguez's first album, "Cold Fact," was as popular in South Africa as the Beatles' "Abbey Road," Strydom says.
"But no one knew anything about him," he says. "There were all kinds of rumors. So I decided on a whim to see what I could find out."
Perhaps because the documentary tells a real-life story, it poses as many questions as it answers about the uneasy relationship between creativity and popular success, about the enigmatic artist, and about possible skulduggery within the music industry.
Clues to the first can possibly be gleaned from the recent flood of publicity surrounding the documentary. In the past two weeks alone, Rodriguez has been interviewed on CNN and performed on "The Late Show with David Letterman," who raved about the film. "Searching for Sugar Man" won an audience award at Sundance. The word "Oscar" is being bandied about.
Hints to the musician can be found, perhaps, by watching Rodriguez perform live. On Thursday, he will play a concert at the Sixth and I Historic Synagogue in Washington.
But it's the case of the mysterious vanishing royalty checks that most intrigues Strydom.
"The little man gets shafted, sons and moneys drafted … "
Rodriguez's "The Establishment Blues"
If Rodriguez's records went platinum in South Africa, why, Strydom wants to know, did the artist never receive even one penny of the royalties due him? Who got rich off Rodriguez's songs, while the man who wrote them was raising three little girls in homes that at times lacked a bathroom?
"No one's really gotten to the bottom of the money yet," Strydom says.
"It is a thorn in my side. When I try to call telephone numbers that are disconnected the next day, when the moneymen shut the interviews down, it was like a red flag to a bull. It's an unfinished story, and I'm thinking of taking another look at it."
In 1970, Rodriguez was poised for stardom. He wrote his own songs, and the lyrics were evocative, elliptical and politically charged.
"A lot of people thought he was going to be the next Bob Dylan," first-time director Malik Bendjelloul says over the phone. He spent four years putting together "Searching for Sugar Man" at his kitchen table on a budget of $1 million.
Ex-Baltimorean went 'Searching for Sugar Man'
Sixto Rodriguez's two albums sank without a trace in the U.S. He never knew that in South Africa, he was a superstar.

Publisher's Description
God's love can feel impersonal at times, but as we learn to let God love us by allowing Him to meet our needs, we see Him interacting with us in our specific circumstances. We start to recognize the ways that He demonstrates His love for us as individuals as we bring our needy hearts to Him through the lives of Bible characters like Paul, John, and Hosea's Gomer. When we trust God and turn to Him for help, we can enjoy a two-way blessing: We feel like God's favorite—His best friend—and we know that God feels loved by us.

MargeAtco, NJAge: Over 65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Best reading, next to BibleMay 23, 2013MargeAtco, NJAge: Over 65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Great book! All my friends and I love it. I will be purchasing more. Thanks.
Momsclubleader3 Stars Out Of 5Good Read, But Not So Good for Developing ServantsNovember 5, 2012MomsclubleaderAs the other reviewer mentioned, the author uses her imagination to recreate famous Bible stories as told from the other characters from the stories. This was interesting to me.
But, one thing that caught my attention was the author's mention of encouraging readers to not participate in church service. I understand that service is often held over worship, and that shouldn't be the case. But I think the author's suggestions on not offering help in ministry is too extreme. The text sounds like we are not doing the work of the Lord when being active in ministry (such as being a Sunday school leader, or usher), so there's no point in doing it. And that just is not the case in my opinion.
IreneUnited States4 Stars Out Of 5Lots of lessons to learnJanuary 18, 2012IreneUnited StatesQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4Best Friends with God uses stories from the Bible to help illustrate principles that will help you in your relationship with the Savior.
Each of the chapters in this book highlight a story found in Bible. The first uses the text of Luke 24. This is the story of Jesus walking with two men and answering questions for them. They don't realize He is the risen Lord until the end. The author, Christy Bower, does an excellent job of making this read like a story. The extra information given is very enlightening. Each chapter ends with questions to further your study on the topic discussed.
I enjoyed each chapter and felt they were all informative and had lessons Christians could learn from. My favorite chapter was the one about the prodigal son. This chapter discusses different bad attitudes that can affect our relationship with the Lord. You will learn ways to help keep those attitudes in check. I actually read this chapter twice as there was so many great principles taught there.
The book as a whole was informative and easy to read. The only negative I had was the author's use of a lot of personal experiences throughout the book. I would have enjoyed hearing about others who have experienced the difficulties discussed not just the authors every time. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand how to have a better personal relationship with the Savior.
I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based solely on my opinion of what I read.

Those crazy "birthers" are citing National Public Radio.

hey tumblr buddy! (that sounded stupid, sorry)
I know how you feel. I am the only one in my SCHOOL, possibly STATE that likes Korn. Unfortunately I've never gotten to see them live. You have that to brag about at least! But Korn got me through middle school and continues to save me from the hells of high school. Even though I've only been a fan for 3 years, I'm sure Korn will be with me til' I'm old!
I've also been to only one concert,in '09,and I have one friend that likes Korn but she isn't as nearly in love with them as I am,she only knows the greatest hits 0.o
Ether way I've been a fan for more than two years now but it feels like ages,their music helped me when I was going to a horrible period in my life and I am forever thankful

(PRWEB) January 15, 2014
For years, the prevailing advice to expecting parents was: lose the dog and your baby won't get allergies. Now scientists say that was all wrong. It turns out the family dog actually protects most children from developing allergies.
In its Winter 2014 edition, Allergic Living magazine digs deeply into the top research to discover that large studies are now in agreement: there is a "dog protective effect."
The key to allergy protection is that exposure to the dog needs to be in the first year of a child's life. What's particularly exciting is that the dog doesn't just protect against pet allergies, but the whole spectrum of allergic conditions – from hay fever to eczema, asthma and even food allergies.
So why does the dog protect against allergies? The answer is a work in progress. Yet Allergic Living finds that scientists in Michigan, California and Canada all see clues in the microorganisms that dogs bring in from the outside.
"They shed stuff, they lick you, you play with them," notes microbiologist James Scott of the CHILD study. Those interactions strongly influence what microorganisms the baby is exposed to.
There is one caution: if someone in the family is already allergic to dogs, keeping the pet won't reduce the allergy. Still, the scientists are so sure of the "dog protective effect" in early life that one even counsels: "on the way home from the maternity hospital, stop at the pet shop."
For more information about "Man's Best Allergy Preventer" or to arrange an interview with Allergic Living Editor Gwen Smith, e-mail editor(at)allergicliving(dot)com or call 1-888-771-7747.

Choose a site with good drainage, good air circulation and full sun. Ready to harvest when skin on underside turns yellow and when a thump with knuckles produces a hollow sound.
Ferry-Morse Seeds have been sold continuously since 1856 and are guaranteed to grow.
Made in the USA.

Robinson, Borzekowski, Matheson, and Kraemer performed a study to see whether children's tastes were influenced by heavily marketed brands. Over 60 preschool children tasted 5 pairs of identical food items. In each pair, one item was packaged with the McDonald's logo, and one item was in unbranded packaging. The children were asked whether the foods tasted the same or if one tasted better.
The results of the study showed that overall, "children preferred the tastes of foods and drinks if they thought they were from McDonald's." Analysis of the results showed that children who had TV sets in their houses and children who ate McDonald's food more often were more likely to say the McDonald's food tasted better than it's identical counterpart.
The authors conclude that a food's branding influences young children's ideas of taste and that perhaps this idea could be used to encourage children eat more nutritious food.

State law specifies that all teachers and other school staff members for whom a state license is required (e.g., nurses, physical therapists, counselors, etc.) must have BCI and FBI checks prior to a license being issued or renewed. Background checks must be no older than one year at the time the initial license is issued.
Non-licensed staff members and teachers with non-tax certificates or permanent certificates must have background checks conducted every five years. School bus drivers must have background checks conducted every six years.
After the initial background checks, an individual continuously residing in Ohio does not need to update the BCI background check, but must obtain an updated FBI check once every five years.
It is the responsibility of educators holding Ohio Department of Education licenses, certificates or permits, as well as their employers, to ensure background checks are updated within the five-year time frame, even if the expiration of a background check does not coincide with the expiration of a license.
More information on background checks can be found here or by contacting the Office of Educator Licensure at 614-466-3593 (toll-free 1-877-644-6338) or at email@example.com.

U.S. special envoy for North Korea Glyn Davies speaks after meeting with his South Korean counterpart Lim Sung-nam to talk on North Korea's denuclearization process at the Foreign Ministry in Seoul, South Korea, Friday, Oct. 19, 2012. (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon)
BEIJING: The United States believes that Myanmar is on the right track towards giving up its remaining military ties with North Korea but recognises it will take time, the U.S. envoy for the North Korean nuclear dispute said on Monday.
U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy Glyn Davies told reporters in Beijing that Washington continued to be worried about that relationship and it was an issue raised with their counterparts in the former Burma.
"I think that Burma's on the right path, that they have made a strategic decision to fundamentally alter their relationship with the DPRK and to ultimately end these relationships with North Korea," Davies said, using the country's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"But it's a work in process. It was a long relationship that the two countries had and so it does take some time to work through it."
Myanmar began sweeping reforms last year as it emerges from decades of isolation and military rule, freeing political prisoners, holding elections and normalising relations with the United States which has moved to lift sanctions.
The Southeast Asian country's defence minister said in June that Myanmar had abandoned research on a nuclear programme that never progressed very far and had stepped back from close military and political ties with North Korea.
News reports two years ago indicated Myanmar had obtained technology for enriching uranium from North Korea along with parts for a nuclear weapons programme.
A U.N. panel that monitors compliance with sanctions on North Korea has also investigated reports of possible weapons-related deals between Pyongyang and Syria and Myanmar.
North Korea remains under heavy U.N. sanctions for its nuclear programme that have cut off its previously lucrative arms trade and further isolated the state after its failed 2009 missile test drew sharp rebukes, even from its one major ally, China.

INDIANOLA, Iowa (AP) A former attorney for the city of Indianola has been arrested on charges of filing nearly $91,000 in overbillings during a six-year period.
John Hoyman was booked Wednesday and fingerprinted at the Warren County Jail. He was then released on personal recognizance.
Hoyman is accused of billing the city for prosecution cases based on fictitious names. He admitted during a state audit investigation released this month that he used fake names from the phone book to beef up his invoices.
Hoyman faces felony counts of theft, fraud and felonious misconduct in office. Messages left with Hoyman's law office, city officials and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation were not immediately returned Wednesday.

red MangaLiving On the Edge
From Kodanclub:
Set in nineteenth-century America, Red is the last living survivor of a Native American tribe that was slaughtered by white men. On a long journey in search of revenge, he travels with Iero Ito, a samurai who ran away to America after being defeated in the Seinan civil war, and Ann, a mysterious prostitute. The bonds of friendship between the three are touching. Although it is all fiction, the story seems very real as it is based on actual battles between US troops, Apaches and other tribes.

One of the most influential and controversial British periodicals of the nineteenth century, the Yellow Book appeared in thirteen volumes over the course of a three-year print run, from 1894 to 1897. As a forerunner of the "little magazines" of the early twentieth century, the Yellow Book can be seen as the definitive periodical of the 1890s, a decade still sometimes referred to as the "yellow nineties". Indeed, in its own time the Yellow Book became shorthand for the aesthetic and decadent movements of the British fin-de-siècle. Its highly distinctive style inspired numerous imitators and parodists, and it occupies a prominent place not only in literary and publishing …

A new update is reportedly headed out to Sprint's HTC EVO 4G LTE this morning, and while it does bump up the handset's Android version, it doesn't quite take us to Jelly Bean. The latest software, version 2.13.651.1.710RD, brings the EVO 4G LTE to Android 4.0.4 and updates HTC's custom UI to Sense 4.1. The minor update is expected to mostly serve as a bug fixer, but a complete changelog hasn't been posted at this time.
The EVO 4G LTE still looks to receive Android 4.1, but just when is unknown at this time. Head on over to the AndroidForums link below and let us know if you have at least received this latest Ice Cream Sandwich build on your device.

NetSuite: We're ready for IPO

NetSuite signs Billy Beane
January 4, 2007
The company, which hopes to raise $75 million based on its registration filing fee, is currently controlled by Tako Ventures, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lawrence Investments that is owned by Larry Ellison, Oracle founder and chief executive.
Ellison affiliates and family members, which hold a 74 percent stake in the company, are expected to retain control of the company post-IPO, raising questions about whether that control would dampen investor enthusiasm.
Under Ellison's controlling interest, a future buyout of the company could be nixed, even if NetSuite's management and other investors deem it in their best interest. Also, a controlling interest of 50 percent or more makes NetSuite exempt from having to adhere to certain corporate governance standards imposed by Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange.
Nonetheless, the timing may be good for an IPO.
The second quarter has been one of the biggest for IPOs since 2004, based on number of offerings, said Matt Toole, an analyst at Thomson Financial. Of the 26 public offerings in the second quarter, 13 were tech-related.
NetSuite provides hosted customer relationship management, or CRM, software and is viewed as a competitor to Salesforce.com. It also offers software for enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and e-commerce.
Last year, the company generated $67.2 million in revenue, up 84.6 percent from the previous year. In quarter ended March 31, the company raised $23.2 million in revenue, up 71.8 percent, according to company's SEC filing.
But the company has suffered a history of losses, running into the red to the tune of $23.4 million last year. And in the March quarter, it sustained a net loss of $3.7 million. NetSuite has accumulated a deficit of $193 million, as of the March quarter, according to the filing.
NetSuite, which has yet to set the number of shares it will sell or the price range for those shares, plans to use the proceeds not only to create working capital, but also to repay the outstanding balance on its $20 million secured line of credit with Ellison's Tako Ventures. As of March, NetSuite owed Tako $7.5 million on the line of credit.
NetSuite and Oracle have managed to do a few deals as well. In 2005, NetSuite signed a $2.5 million deal for a perpetual license for some of Oracle's software and services. And last year, NetSuite, in an arm's-length deal, provided $542,000 of software to sailboat-racing syndicate Oracle Racing, in exchange for marketing and promotion as an official supplier.

THE need for expansion and sustenance of key financial institutions amid the global economic recession needs not to be overemphasised if the financial sector is to stand any chance of survival.
While other countries have been implementing different programmes to rescue their economies from the recession, specific financial institutions such as banks are also sweating to find answers on how they can remain relevant.
Job cuts as well as company closures have become common in both developing and rich countries a situation which has created a lot of worries.
One wise man once said courage is getting into a fight even when you are out numbered and this means that despite the world economic turndown, there is need for banking institutions to continue expanding.
Indo-Zambia Bank has slowly but surely demonstrated that despite the challenges in the financial sector business must go on as usual, while the expansion programmes should not remain in the pipeline.
Since its establishment about 25 years ago the bank has continued to expand in various aspects ranging from the opening of 10 new branches to continued creation of employment for the Zambian people.
The Zambian Government has the largest shares in the institution with 40 per cent, the Bank of Baroda and the Bank of India have and the Central of Bank of India have 20 per cent apiece.
In liabilities, the bank has seen a drastic increase in deposits and customers accounts from K446,665,844,000 in 2007 to K554,240,641,000 last year.
Apart from the continued expansion and exemplary services to its customers, Indo-Zambia Bank has also taken a lead in community projects through its social corporate responsibility.
This has benefited the vulnerable communities across the country.
Apart from the donations that have been made to various charitable organisations such as the Maureen Mwanawasa Community Initiative (MMCI), the bank has also managed keep its interest rate at affordable levels.
Perhaps one of the most significant milestones that the bank has achieved recently was the announcement that it would provide a loan scheme at Mulungushi University in an effort to assist students who cannot afford the current fees.
This will go a long way in assisting the underprivileged students to access higher education which today seems to be a preserve of the wealthy.
It is hoped that the underprivileged students will benefit from the loans and enable them achieve their goals.
Indo-Zambia Bank became the first commercial bank in the country to contribute towards the state funeral of president Levy Mwanawasa after the Bank of Zambia requested various banks to open accounts for the funeral expenses. The company donated K45 million.
It has also managed to raise awareness on the need to save by the communities through various activities and has been encouraging people to develop the culture of saving.
The culture of saving in the country is not very good because most people prefer to keep their money in their homes as opposed to banks.
It is hoped that as different measures are being put in place by various institutions including the Government and stakeholders, banks will employ good services that will contribute to the fight against the economic downturn.

As an immigration researcher, I wanted to explore the intersection of immigration and health policy in MA. The aims of this project were to more comprehensively examine MA health policy, its similarities to the ACA, and how immigrants in MA navigate the state's healthcare system post-reform. For this project, I conducted 70 qualitative interviews in English, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish with Brazilian and Dominican immigrants, healthcare providers who serve immigrant and minority populations, and leaders of immigrant and health organizations in Boston.
In addition to asking immigrant respondents about their current health outcomes and experiences accessing healthcare in the U.S., I also inquired about their pre-migration health status and experiences with the healthcare systems in Brazil and the Dominican Republic. This allowed me to explore how they "transnationally" negotiate their health "here" in the U.S. and "there" in their home countries.
Funding for this project came from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Scholars Program.

I've seen Sarah Van Gameren's work quite a bit over the past few months without knowing that it was hers. I finally came across her Family Tree necklace on Pan-Dan and had to check her website out, which is when I made the connection between Sarah and all these other great projects I've been admiring around the web. Her Family Tree project seeks to represent the lineage of a young client named Runa, and draws its inspiration from 'name-jewel' necklaces.
Some of the other projects I've been admiring: Burn Burn Burn, where Sarah has created a type of paint that can be burned to create a permanent mark on a surface, and the Big Dipper – wax chandeliers that will create an ephemeral, changing light fixture.
PS. Thanks to Desire to Inspire and MSNBC's Clicked for the blog mentions – and hi to all of you who are coming from there!

Assessment and Intervention for Executive Function Difficulties
By George McCloskey, Lisa A. Perkins, Bob Van Diviner
Routledge – 2008 – 392 pages
Series: School-Based Practice in Action
Routledge – 2008 – 392 pages
Series: School-Based Practice in Action
In Assessment and Intervention for Executive Function Difficulties, McCloskey, Perkins, and Diviner provide a unique blend of theory, research, and practice that offers clinicians an overarching framework for the concept of executive functions (EFs) in educational settings. The conceptual model of executive functions is detailed, including their role in behavior, learning, and production across all settings. The heart of the book focus on the practical issues involved in the use of assessment tools, tests, report writing, and the implementation and follow-up of targeted interventions using the EF model. Six case studies are introduced in Chapter 1 and followed throughout the book, building understanding of the executive function difficulties of each child, assessment for identifying the difficulties, and interventions for dealing with the difficulties. An additional case study is discussed in detail in one of the concluding chapters, and a companion CD will provide the practitioner with a wealth of assessment forms, parent and teacher handouts, behavior tracking charts, and report/documentation forms.
This book fills a gap in knowledge regarding the critical role of executive functions. It will be invaluable to professionals who are concerned with the evaluation and treatment of educational and mental health problems. Nancy Mather, PhD, is professor of learning disabilities at the University of Arizona and co-author of the Woodcock-Johnson III
The authors masterfully weave the emotional plight of six students to illustrate the most comprehensive model of executive functioning capacities in children to date. Logically written and skillfully crafted, each chapter sets a new standard for assessing and remediating executive functioning deficits in children. Steven G. Feifer, EdD, NCSP, ABSNP, is a school neuropsychologist in the Maryland public school system and a nationally renowned speaker in the field of learning disabilities
For the first time, we have the translation of theory and research of executive functions applied straight into practice. It is an outstanding resource that will become the 'gold standard' for evaluating and treating children with a variety of executive function disorders. Elaine Fletcher-Janzen, EdD, NCSP, has a private practice in Cleveland, Ohio

MCLA's Strategic Plan
A Vision of Excellence: 2004 - 2010
MCLA's strategic plan has guided significant progress across all areas of the MCLA community over the past five years. Through the planning process every division has developed, implemented, and evolved action plans to foster academic excellence, increase enrollment and retention, strengthen student life, and strengthen the College's financial position.
At the May 2010 retreat we had the opportunity to have a conversation with Massachusetts Commissioner of Higher Education Richard Freeland about all the good work taking place at MCLA, as well as important state initiatives that will influence public higher education in Massachusetts in the coming years. We also reflected on the many accomplishments realized during through our first five year planning cycle, and heard updates on the student focused initiatives that are moving forward in the areas of the Center for Student Success, the Undergraduate Research Conference, and the E-Portfolio.
As we focus ongoing strategic planning work on the goal of advancing the institution over the course of the next five year planning cycle, we will continue to implement and evolve action plans while positioning MCLA for work we must do in preparation for our next NEASC accreditation, which will take place in 2013.

Kim Il Sung Brings about Victory in Korean War
|Pyongyang, July 23 (KCNA) -- July 27 is the anniversary of the Korean people's victory in the Fatherland Liberation War (June 1950-July 1953) against the U.S. imperialists who boasted of being the "strongest in the world".
With the day approaching, the DPRK people are recalling the undying feats President Kim Il Sung performed for the victory in the war.
The Korean War was the one fought by two rivals beyond comparison with each other in armed forces. When the war was unleashed by the U.S. imperialists, it was only five years after Korea's liberation from Japan's colonial rule and two years after the birth of the Korean People's Army in the DPRK.
On June 25, Juche 39 (1950), Kim Il Sung convened an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet and gave an order to make an instant switchover to counterattack against the provokers' surprise attack. At the meeting he said that the mettle of Koreans should be shown to the U.S. which was looking down upon them.
He aroused the DPRK army and people to the struggle against the U.S. aggressors and led the war to victory with his distinguished leadership, military stratagem and commanding art.
During the war, he initiated a wave of unique tactics, such as mountain warfare, night action, tunnel warfare and aircraft- and tank-hunting team movements. His tactics was typically represented in the operation to liberate Taejon, which is considered to be an example of modern-day siege warfare.
Inspired by his tested command, the KPA seamen sank large-sized U.S. warships with only four torpedo boats and an artillery company defended the Wolmi Islet for three days against 50 000-strong enemy forces with hundreds of warships and at least 1 000 warplanes, while a KPA plane downed a U.S. B-29 bomber.
In the wartime, Kim Il Sung took a measure to run frontline rest homes for the KPA soldiers and saw to it that the Universal Free Medical Care System was enforced throughout the country.
Thanks to his noble personality and illustrious command, the DPRK defeated the arrogant U.S. imperialists in the war, bringing about the beginning of decline for them for the first time in history.
Kim Il Sung's exploits for the victory in the war will remain forever in the history of the prospering DPRK.

New poison dart frog discovered in 'Lost World'mongabay.com
July 19, 2013
The scientists named the frog Allobates amissibilis — in Latin, "that may be lost" — in recognition of its home, which was the set for British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 book, The Lost World. The frog was discovered near Turu Falls, a waterfall at the foot of the Iwokrama Mountains in Central Guyana.
According to the Senckenberg Nature Research Society, the intent of the study was to investigate populations of another frog, the Hoogmoeds harlequin frog (Atelopus hoogmoedi), to determine whether it might be impacted by planned ecotourism development in the region. While the researchers were conducting their survey, they came across the thumbnail-sized frog, which they couldn't identify. Subsequent analysis showed it to be an undescribed species.

Allobates amissibilis is now the third Allobates species know from Guyana. Like other poison dart frogs, it derives its toxicity from the ants, mites, and other invertebrates on which it feeds. The species is thought to be a "micro-endemic" — found in only a small area of habitat.

outside the federal government to begin the coordination process, obtain information about other disability-related surveys, and brainstorm on the issues and possible strategies. In October 1999, BJS officials participated in the workshop that is summarized in this report. Based on all of these activities and a review of the attributes of the NCVS, BJS staff began to construct a strategy, the components of which are:
1. Adding questions to the existing NCVS to determine whether a person has a disability.
2. Developing modifications to question wordings, proxy respondent rules, interview procedures, and interviewer training to improve the information-gathering process in the context of the NCVS interview.
3. Exploring enhancement of the NCVS sampling frame to oversample people with disabilities.
4. Exploring enhancement of the NCVS sampling frame to include an institutional component.
Given the difficulties, detailed in this chapter, of using the NCVS to measure the victimization of people with disabilities, this strategy is being implemented in phases. The first two items constitute the first phase and are the focus of current efforts. The last two items have been discussed but are presently tabled as future activities until BJS can determine whether the first phase can be completed successfully.1
1 The material on current and future BJS plans is briefly summarized here from a paper entitled "Developing the Capability to Measure Crime Victimization of People With Disabilities," delivered at the 2000 National Conference of the American Society of Criminology in San Francisco, November 17, 2000, by Michael Rand, Victimization Statistics, Bureau of Justice Statistics.

It's buttery, but not oaky, allowing the wine to completely cover the palate, quickly, and not set off any oak alarms.
