Year: 2012
Funding: Multi-Network Practice Outcome Variation Examination Study (MPROVE)
Status: Completed
The New Jersey (NJ) Affiliate PBRN is well placed to participate in this collaborative project to conduct network-specific analysis, dissemination, and translation activities. For the past 2 years the NJ Department of Health and Senior Services (NJDHSS) Office of Local Public Health has been engaged in a project to redesign the NJ Local Health Evaluation Report. NJDHSS undertook this task, in cooperation with the Rutgers University Office of Continuing Professional Education, after examination of measures and methods already tested in other states and municipalities in the US. Now, NJ is exploring which measures will work in NJ, to maximize the sustainability of our resources, identify outcomes that can be measured and linked to resources, and develop a web-based reporting system that will be useful for NJ's local health departments (LHDs). The NJ PBRN will partner with NJDHSS to work with national PBRN colleagues to identify and test multi-state measures that can be used to examine resources and outcomes for optimal public health practice. Methods: We will use existing resources and an additional research associate funded through this RFP to work with the national PBRN group to develop and test tools to measure: 1) availability/scope of resources; 2) volume/intensity of application; 3) staffing capacity; 4) reach; and 5) quality: the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge. NJ is proud of its work to date to revise LHD reporting measures, and recognizes that measures that can compare and contrast efforts across state lines will be of great value. We are eager to share our experience; to learn from other state partners' efforts to measure public health resources and their influence on outcomes; and to contribute to an effort that can inform the broader public health system.

text: Beast Mode was in full effect Sunday at CenturyLink Field as the Seahawks hosted the New York Giants. The Seahawks got back to the formula that has been so successful in the past, running the ball down the other team's throats. The Hawks finished with a franchise record 350 total rushing yards, 140 of those belonged to Marshawn Lynch who also had 4 touchdowns on the day. The Giants actually had the lead at halftime, but the Hawks wore down the Giants defense on their way to a huge 4th quarter and a 38-17 win. It was a steady rain for most of the day and pretty heavy at times, especially when it was raining Skittles from the stands after a Lynch score.

Mastering Your Elevator Pitch in the Job Interview
UCLA Career Center, Room 200 (Second floor)
Jordan Maness and Holly H. Hudson, West Coast Regional Recruiter, Central Intelligence Agency
The dreaded 'tell me about yourself" question looms over every interview and your answer often significantly impacts the duration of the interview. For better or for worse! Crafting and perfecting a solid "elevator pitch" should be the first entry on your "Job Search To-Do List." It is a concise and compelling story that covers who you are and how you can add value to that organization. It should be your go-to pitch if you are at a job fair or even at a social engagement where you might connect with someone who may be able to help you secure a career position. Condensing your experience history into a manageable opening statement can be challenging. In this session, you will receive tips from a career counselor on how to formulate an effective elevator pitch. Learn from an employer what they truly want to hear as an "interview opener" and what they tune out. Let us empower you to master your elevator pitch!

The other day, I attended a Vistage speaker presentation delivered by a guy by the name of Michael Allosso. Allosso has a fascinating background in show business – among other things – and the main takeaway from his talk was we always need to be "on" and aware of how we're coming across to others.
A particular aspect of his presentation about the concept of "micromessaging" caught my attention. Author Stephen Young, in his book by the same title, defines micromessaging as"the nuanced behaviors that we all blindly use and react to in our dealings with others." In my opinion, another interpretation of that definition could be something like, "micromessaging involves the ways people perceive and judge each other based on things other than direct verbal communication."
Leaning forward in your chair while listening to someone, having a bored look on your face in a meeting, wearing a well-pressed shirt, the type of watch you wear, walking with a purpose or just kind of aimlessly wandering along…all of these are sending messages about you.
And, like it or not, people are using them to judge you.
Unfortunately, humans evaluate each other on a very surface level. We all claim we don't because it's not the "right" thing to say….but the reality is that we do.
As Allosso was talking about micromessaging, it occurred to me how important this concept is in the relationship between a buyer and a salesperson. We have, for years, talked about the role of dress, style and image as a component of a salesperson's positioning.
But I think micromessaging is about much more than that.
"Micromessage management" (I just made that one up) could be described as everything we do to appear as fully present for, in tune with, prepared for, in touch with, and as well-put-together as we can. At The Brooks Group, we refer to this in the context of pre-call planning and positioning.
Here are some questions I urge you to share with your sales team:
- Does my appearance reflect my desire to be seen as a professional problem-solver and value-bringer?
- During the course of my meetings, do I consciously control my body language and facial expressions to indicate I'm completely present?
- Do I match my prospect's or customer's communication style and preference in terms of formality or informality?
- Do I double- and triple-check my written communications for accuracy and clarity, or do I just hit send?
Are you doing everything you can to control your own personal micromessaging to make sure that you're represented in the best possible light?
Reflecting on it at this moment, I know that I sometimes get so caught up in making the next meeting or executing the next task that I don't slow down to take into account the cues I give to others about myself.
Perhaps the same could be said for you?
Thanks for reading.

|Susan Burgess
Charlotte Mayor Pro Tem
The city of Charlotte has lost a great leader and a great lady.
Click here for the Charlotte Observer article and a link to post messages to Susan's guestbook.
"I love my city and its people, and it has been an honor for me to represent them."
Charlotte Mayor Pro Tem Susan Burgess
Member At-Large
I, along with Jyoti and my family, will miss Susan Burgess. Our thoughts are with her family in this difficult time. She was one of those irreplaceable people as she made it her mission to work tirelessly and selflessly to make the City of Charlotte a better place for everyone to live in.
Susan not only inspired me as a role model in public life, but she also assisted me in several stages of my introduction to politics. I rememer her well from 2008 when we both were delegates for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention. In the past year she nominated me for two appointments to City Council committees, one of which was accepted a few months ago. She also encouraged me in my efforts to run for the District 7 seat on the City Council last year.
Though these things are very small in comparison to all the things she did for the City of Charlotte, they meant a lot to me. She showed her concern for the people through her accessability and her ablility to get things done and was admired and respected by people all across the city and even across party lines. We will miss her smiling presence.

"I'll resume training next week," he told GHANAsoccernet.com.

UNITED NATIONS (Aug. 5)
Israel rejected today Arab charges that the closure of the Hospice Hospital in the Old City of Jerusalem was the result of a political decision. Instead, Israel said "the Ministry of Health decided for purely medical reasons that the hospital in the Hospice building should be closed."
Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, said in a letter to Secretary General Javier Peres de Cuellar, that the decision to close the hospital was influenced by two major facts: the medical equipment in the hospital were out-of-date "resulting in inadequate medical care" and the structure of the building did not allow room for a suitable elevator. "Recently two women died in the maternity ward (of the hospital) because of poor medical treatment, " the Israeli envoy pointed out.
Netanyahu added: "The decision to close the Hospice hospital is in line with the policy of the Ministry of Health of closing small hospitals and hospitals with one category of patient (such as women) anywhere in the country." He said that other hospitals in Jerusalem will also be shut down.
Last week, Jordan's Foreign Minister, Taher Masri, sent a telegram to de Cuellar demanding action to stop Israel from closing the hospital. He accused Israel of letting the hospital deteriorate and deliberately withholding funds for its development.
Netanyahu said in his letter that residents of the Old City who received medical care at the Hospice hospital "will now receive medical care at the Sheikh Jarrah Health Center and at Jerusalem's other hospitals, with health insurance arranged by the Ministry of Health. A first-aid station will continue to operate at the Hospice building and the doctors and qualified staff of the Hospice will be offered alternate employment."
Continuing, the Israeli Ambassador asserted, "Recent assertions that the closure of the Hospice will deprive the residents of the Old City of proper medical care are therefore totally unfounded. In fact, the number of mother-and-child health care stations in the Arab section of Jerusalem and in villages within the city limits has been steadily rising in recent years.
"Wide ranging medical supervision has also been instituted in Arab schools. Municipal assistance has been extended to Red Crescent stations in the city. These services, along with health insurance and hospitalization, enable Arab residents of Jerusalem to receive medical care on a par with that of the rest of Israel."
Netanyahu requested his letter be circulated as an official document of the General Assembly.

If Jobs Failed Twice, Why Would Ive & Team Succeed? RIP new Mac Pro
Steve Jobs famously failed with his iconic NeXTcube computer. And then 10 years later, back at Apple, he failed again with ice-motif Power Mac G4 Cube. Both machines were inspiring and innovative on many levels, so it comes as no surprise—really—that Apple's Jony Ive, who designed the latter machine also, wouldn't take a shot one more time.

Facing Addiction in America
I met U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy last week in Los Angeles during the historic release of his report Facing Addiction in America: The Surgeon General's Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health. When I introduced myself as part of the Facing Addiction team, he put a hand on each of my shoulders and said he was honored to work with us and that our organization is doing really good work.
Dr. Murthy is America's top doc and he's right. Facing Addiction is doing great work; I too am honored to work for an organization with such heart for getting America's attention around the issue of solving the addiction crisis in this country.
What happens now?
I love this paragraph from Dr. Murthy's preface in the report:
How we respond to this crisis is a moral test for America. Are we a nation wiling to take on an epidemic that is causing great human suffering and economic loss? Are we able to live up to that most fundamental obligation we have as human beings: to care for one another?
During this Thanksgiving Week, I wonder if we will remember our obligation to those suffering with, or touched by, addiction. Consider these facts reported by Facing Addiction's co-founder Greg Williams in his recent Huffington Post blog:
- Nearly 21 million people suffer from a substance use disorder but only one in 10
receives treatment—that's more than one and a half times the number of people who have cancer!
- In 2015, substance use disorders affected 21 million Americans—approximately one in 12 adults and adolescents.
- Implementation of evidence-based interventions around substance use disorder can have a benefit of more than $58 for every dollar spent.
- Substance misuse costs society an estimated $442 billion each year in terms of lost productivity, healthcare costs and criminal justice costs.
Greg writes, "If every person in every community in America would stand up to addiction as they stand up to other major health issues, we would forever shift the way addiction is looked upon in this country. It's our duty to take this historic moment and make it an enduring turning point for our children and generations to come."
Indeed, there are walks, runs, ice bucket challenges and all kinds of other awareness-raising gestures for virtually every other health issue with critical needs. Where does addiction fall in the list of critical needs?
Alcohol- and drug-related deaths now surpass car accidents as the number one killer in the nation. When will we be sick and tired of these dubious distinctions?
The time is now. It's time to join with the Surgeon General and say we're ready to do whatever our hands and feet, hearts and minds can do.
We've seen reports from the Surgeon General's office that have a major impact on societal change. Fifty years ago, the Surgeon General issued a report on the dangers of smoking and a call to end the tobacco epidemic gripping the nation.
Dr. Murthy issued a similar call to action last Thursday from the Paramount Theater in LA. Now his office is calling for an end to the public health crisis of addiction.
It's time. Let's make sure social media is our friend when it comes to spreading the news.

Kerry criticizes "barbaric" Syrian regime for Aleppo attacks while Russian officials meet with opposition
The U.S. has largely backed the Syrian opposition while Russia has been a firm supporter of Syria's regime (File Archive/AFP)
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry Tuesday hit out at the "barbaric" Syrian regime of President Bashar Assad for its sustained barrel bomb campaign centered on the city of Aleppo.
Kerry's criticism came as Russian officials said a Syrian regime delegation would be taking part in the next round of Geneva II talks, and would speed up work on handing over its chemical weapons stockpiles.
"Each and every day that the barrel-bombing of Aleppo continues, the Assad regime reminds the world of its true colors," Kerry wrote in a statement. "It is the latest barbaric act of a regime that has committed organized, wholesale torture, used chemical weapons, and is starving whole communities by blocking delivery of food to Syrian civilians in urgent need."
More than 150 people have been killed in Aleppo over the past four days, in a string of barrel bomb raids and other airstrikes, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
At least 11 people, including five children, were the latest casualties when Syrian army helicopters unleashed a new wave of the bombs which Kerry said were "filled with metal shrapnel and fuel."
The bombs hit a mosque in the northern city, which the pro-opposition Aleppo Media Center said was being used as a school.
"Given this horrific legacy, the Syrian people would never accept as legitimate a government including Assad," Kerry said, referring to Monday's Geneva peace talks, aimed at installing a transitional government in the war-torn country."While the opposition and the international community are focused on ending the war ... the regime is single-mindedly focused on inflicting further destruction to strengthen its hand on the battlefield and undermining hopes for the success of the Geneva II process," Kerry added.
For its part, Moscow gave reassurances that its ally would show up for the Geneva talks and that it would soon ship more chemical weapons abroad for destruction after being accused of dragging its feet.
"Literally yesterday [Monday] the Syrians announced that the removal of a large shipment of chemical substances is planned in February. They are ready to complete this process by March 1," said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov, according to the state-run news agency RIA.
The delay in removing chemical weapons has prompted Western criticism that Damascus was seeking to gain leverage during the peace talks. Russia says those concerns are overblown and rejects claims that the move is deliberate, while Syria has blamed security concerns for the delay.
Russia also hosted the leader of the opposition's National Coalition, Ahmad Jarba, for the first time since the 3-year-old conflict began.
Gatilov indicated that Moscow expected Assad to state firmly his delegation's intentions to resume the Geneva II peace talks next week.
"We have no doubt Damascus will issue orders for the government delegation to continue the negotiations in Geneva," Gatilov said at the start of Jarba's talks with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Jarba stressed that the umbrella opposition group was especially concerned with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem's refusal in Geneva to hold any discussion about a transitional government that could pave the way for Assad's removal from power. He told reporters after Tuesday's meeting that Lavrov treated the opposition's stance on Assad with "understanding."
"We told the Russian leaders that we are open to any solutions that ensure Syria's future – a future that is free of Assad and his war criminals," Jarba said. "I think that we have entered a new stage of relations with Russia," the opposition leader added.
"We now have good relations ... that I hope will continue to develop further," Jarba said.
But Lavrov himself gave no sign that Moscow intended to yield to Jarba's foreign-based opposition alliance and step up its pressure on the regime.
Russia's top diplomat simply told Jarba in opening comments available to reporters that "today's conversation will be very, very useful in helping clarify approaches that could help advance the Geneva process."
Moscow wants to persuade the coalition-led delegation at Geneva to include more moderate internal opposition groups, which rebels argue are Assad stooges.
Jarba excluded any groups that had been prepared "in the basements of the regime's security service." "There will be nobody in the opposition delegation to Geneva who is tied to the regime this way or another," he said.
Elsewhere, aid distribution continued in the Palestinian refugee camp in the south Damascus neighborhood of Yarmouk which has received small aid deliveries in recent days from U.N. personnel, although two more deaths were reported in the suburb due to malnutrition and dehydration.

Well, with whimsy this soulless, a better question becomes how could it hit? Santa Claus Conquers the Martians not only bombed in its day, it remains too grindingly stupid even to function as camp. (And it's a perennial entry in the Internet Movie Database's bottom 100 films as determined by its users.) Turns out you'll need more than Pia Zadora in her screen debut to guarantee an audience with the Mystery Science Theater crowd. (She plays a Martian child named Girmar, short for "girl Martian"; her brother is of course named Bomar, with Momar as Mommy Martian and Kimar for King.) The fact is that Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is just too stupid - not stupid in the Ed Wood way, but exasperatingly, tediously stupid - to view in a single sitting.

Asshat Republican Wants First Graders to Work for Food
Making Children -we're talking first grade to sixth grade- be forced to work to get a meal is the ultimate in "compassionate conservatism." JFC, is there no end to the idiocy?
A West Virginia lawmaker floated the idea during floor debate in the state's House of Delegates of having school children work as janitors, the Associated Press reports.
The West Virginia House recently passed a school lunch bill on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis, by a vote of 89-9, according to the Associated Press. The Feed to Achieve Act would establish nonprofits to solicit private donations to go toward providing every child with a breakfast and lunch at no cost.
But one Republican suggested that was a misguided notion.
"I think it would be a good idea if perhaps we had the kids work for their lunches: trash to be taken out, hallways to be swept, lawns to be mowed, make them earn it," Del. Ray Canterbury (R-Greenbrier) said during floor debate. "If they miss a lunch or they miss a meal they might not, in that class that afternoon, learn to add, they may not learn to diagram a sentence, but they'll learn a more important lesson."
Canterbury argued that providing students with free lunches would destroy their work ethic and show them "there's an easy way," the Charleston Gazette reported.
"I'm offended anybody in this body would dare say a child has to work for their meals," responded Del. Meshea Poore (D-Kanawha), according to the Gazette. "I can't believe someone would say a first-grader, a second-grader ... a fifth-grader has to labor before they eat. This isn't an entitlement bill."
According to a 2004 report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, children in West Virginia [PDF] were almost twice as likely to live in neighborhoods with a high poverty rate, compared to the national average. The group also ranks West Virginia 47th nationally for education, with 79 percent of eighth graders not proficient in math and 73 percent of fourth graders not proficient in reading.
A national survey in 2012 from Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign found a majority of teachers report pupils coming to school hungry, which the group says makes it more difficult for students to concentrate.
Canterbury's suggestion was similar to a remark made by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich during a debate in the Republican presidential primary, when Gingrich suggested making poor students become janitors at their schools.
The Feed to Achieve Act now heads to the desk of West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, who is expected to sign it.
What on earth are we teaching our children!!!!!! OMG
As a Republican, I am embarrassed by the asshat.
Human rights advocates should get all over this one.
The same dumbass, evidently, proposed a bill to make Science Fiction works compulsory reading, "to stimulate interest in math and science among students in the public schools of this state, the State Board of Education shall prescribe minimum standards by which samples of grade-appropriate science fiction literature are integrated into the curriculum of existing reading, literature or other required courses for middle school and high school students."
Note: I like science fiction, but I don't think it's necessary to make it compulsory reading for every grade.
What kind of idiot kid would work for food when Tamerlan tTerrorist got free welfare, Iphone, Mercedes, and food? Look I understand teaching kids how to be responsible citizens who will one day pay their own freight (and Tamerlan's too). But this is a bit much.
Change this to
"I think it would be a good idea if perhaps we had the kids parents work for their lunches:
and I'll give it some thought.
Hire kids and you'll get crappy work
My dad used to say: "There's no free lunch."
Obviously this was back in the 80s before Obama's time.
These ****ing dumbasses need to realize that school meals are the only meals some kids eat all day.
I live in an relatively affluent town with a low poverty rate, and we still have to do a homeless/impoverished outreach where we send kids home with "lunchboxes" on Friday because that's probably the only food they're going to get that weekend.

Lickin the Bowl: Vanilla-Raspberry Pavlova is great for Valentine's Day 02-10-10
Published 6:00 pm, Tuesday, February 9, 2010
Many years ago the
heroine in a book I was reading made a pavlova, which was a huge
disaster. I didn't know what a pavlova was until recently when I
was looking through desserts on the Kraft Web site. For those who
are as clueless as I was, a pavlova is a circle of egg whites baked
in a slow oven then filled with pudding and fruit. It looks great
and would make a nice Valentine's Day dessert, as would the molten
chocolate cake and chocolate pecan pie bars.

Meanwhile, beat
pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 minutes. Stir in
Cool Whip. Refrigerate 15 minutes. Place meringue on plate; fill
center with pudding mixture. Top with berries and powdered
*For best results,
prepare meringue on a cool dry day. Humidity will result in a chewy
sticky meringue. Substitute any berries, such as strawberries or
blueberries, for the raspberries.
Chocolate Pudding Cake
1 package (2-layer
size) devil's food cake mix
1 package (12 oz.)
Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks, divided
3 cups cold
2 package
(4-serving size each) Jell-O Chocolate Instant Pudding
1/3 cup General

chocolate chunks. Pour into greased 13x9-inch baking dish or
shallow casserole dish; set aside.
Pour milk into
large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes, flavored instant coffee and
cinnamon. Beat with wire whisk 1 minute or until well blended. Pour

Funding Christmas gift ideas on a budget 2010
Christmas 2010 is just around the corner, and if you're like most people struggling to make ends meet these days, you need to find creative ways to fund your Christmas gift ideas on a budget. With these easy tips, you can still get the most out of the holidays, without spending ridiculous amounts of money this season.
Budgeting Christmas gift ideas 2010
Planning your Christmas gift ideas on a budget is easy. But first things first, you need to know how much holiday money you can afford this year. Taking note of your recurring monthly expenses – such as rent, car payments, food, utilities, etc – will help you come up with a precise, reasonable dollar amount to spend on gifts.
Tip: Budget in at least $50 for unexpected expenses.
Christmas gifts on a budget
The are many fun, inexpensive Christmas gift ideas to consider. But before you go digging for any more ideas, do what Santa does and pull out a pen and paper and begin jotting down the names of everyone you plan on buying a gift for. Then, next to each name, write down the items you plan on getting for each person on that list. Remember, you don't have to buy individual gifts for everyone; you can purchase one gift for an entire family or group. Once you are done with your list, it's time to go hunting for holiday savings deals. The key is to plan ahead of time and stick as close to your list as possible.
Holiday hunting
So now that you have your list readily available at hand, it's time to go hunting for the hottest holiday deals this season. One of the most convenient ways of doing this is to go window-shopping online. Using your list, query and search for each item you plan on buying. If you find a good deal, make note of it and dig deeper. You know never how much more money you can save by simply taking your time to shop.
'Tis the season to be thankful
Planning Christmas gift ideas on a budget is fun and easy to do; all you really need is to be creative. However, Christmastime is a lot more than just gifts, cookies and mistletoes. Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without loving friends and family there with you. Remember, you don't have to spend a lot of money to share fun, quality time with the ones you love most.

Today I want to share with you a story, one that is happening all around us. In fact, if you know a veteran who has returned home from a combat situation there is a good chance they may be all too familiar with this story.
You see this is a story about how many of our veterans survive the dangers of battle only to return home to face an uphill struggle with feelings of isolation leading to suicide, family abuse and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
The harsh realities of transition to civilian life after military duty can cause a downward spiral of apathy, unemployment, broken relationships, addiction, and depression.
If a veteran is lucky enough to get help from our Veteran's Administration there are tools to learn to manage many of the symptoms of PTSD, but not cure it or effectively sooth the emotional scars.
The Staggering Statistics
According to the last report issue by the Veterans Administration, every day 22 veterans take their own lives. That's a suicide every 65 minutes. As shocking as this is, there's a good chance the number may actually be much higher.
The data in the report was compiled through 2011 and only includes 21 states because many – such as California and Texas – chose not to make data available.
Another problem is there is no uniform reporting system in the US and the VA themselves acknowledge the "significant limitations" of the data, particularly with regard to female veterans and the homeless.
Finally, many suicides are simply not reported because families do not want to be associated with the stigma.
How Blade Overcame the Odds With Help From a Friend
Blade Antony served as a medic in the Marine Corp. He returned home from Iraq feeling alone and out of place, angry at people who didn't understand his struggle with PTSD, the nightmares or that he was constantly on the verge of committing suicide.
Blade believes it was a miracle that led him to Pets for Vets because he's sure that otherwise, he would have become just another statistic.
Pets for Vets is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting veterans and giving a second chance to shelter animals by rescuing, training and pairing them in a match that will help to provide a new lease on life.
After a long search for just the right match, the Pets for Vets team found DD, a Pitt Bull/Labrador mix they rescued from a shelter.
She had been abandoned and suffered from a terrible case of mange causing her to lose most of her fur. She was nursed back to full health and then underwent extensive training because Pets for Vets knew she was the dog that would help to heal Blade.
Today DD and Blade are inseparable. Blade no longer loses sleep over nightmares because he no longer has any! He credits this to his Pets for Vets dog, DD. "DD and Pets for Vets saved my life," says Blade.
Dogs are our link to paradise. they don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. to site with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring – it was peace. ~Author Unknown
Companion Pets for Veterans
Medical research has shown that companion animals can draw out even the most isolated personality, and help traumatized veterans reduce stress and overcome depression, anxiety, and emotional numbness.
But not only the veterans benefit; in many cases, the dogs that are teamed up with veterans in the program have come perilously close to succumbing as well, since the pets in the program are pulled from shelters, sometimes only hours away from being euthanized simply because of a lack of space.
Meet Steve and Dozer
I hope you found these stories as inspiring as I have. They represent only a few examples of the countless number lives that have saved thanks to the various companion pets for veterans programs.
Will you be the passenger or the driver in your life journey?

Developing a set of practice and performance standards for child welfare practices across the entire service array process is one of the tasks of practice model development. Agencies that have taken on this task have typically broken down standards into sets of "overarching standards" for tasks that go across the service
array (for example "documentation") and "practice standards" for specific areas of practice that have nuanced behaviors (for example "screening").
Some Agencies have gone further and developed "organizational standards" for tasks that the agency would be performing beyond practice (for example "staff development") that impacts performance related to the practice model and achievement of desired outcomes.
Below is a chart of tasks or activities that agencies have developed performance standards for when developing a child welfare practice model.
Following the chart are some sample performance standards provided as examples of standards for organizations to review as they develop their own set of performance standards.

It has been spread along all the countries that the Multi Tools are the tool that gives us so many things to do. Sometimes the things that we want so badly are gone. When we need such decent knife, our friend already took it. When we need such screwdriver to remove any kind of screw in our house, we just forget where we put that. When we need such kind of really small things that we need to remove the thing from our phones, we just lost it. Then to make it all easier to get done, the Multi Tools are created and spread. Everything about the Multi Tools is always handy. It gives us anything that we need until we get what we really want.
Things to consider when buying a Multi Tool
When we need to pick the best Multi Tool that we really need, then we need to really consider these things. Basically, there will be only three things. The first thing is the versatility. Whenever you go for any kind of camping outside of town or hiking to your favorite remote place, you need to think the things that you need the most. Things like the blades, the bottle opener, or maybe screwdrivers are really useful things to keep in mind. Then, you need to also think about the quality. What kind of material that is used to create the Multi Tools? That will help you when you start to use it too.
When we see any kind of Multi Tools that has the description or statement of the high quality, the actually it is not that clear. When we pick up that thing, then you start to use it but you are then disappointed because the tools are just broken or having such problems, then actually it is not all the tools mistake. It says that the high quality if it is used properly. Such particular material used will have the good result on the same particular purposes also. So, before we buy the best Multi Tools that we really need, we need to be really aware of our activities, whether our activities are suitable for that kind of material or not. That will be our own decision.

Mumbai Diary: Monday Dossier
The city — sliced, diced and served with a dash of sauce
Faroma feast
Last September, Foodfeasts app and website was launched to cater to users craving the best of the city's iconic dishes right from Mucchad's paan to Rama Nayak's idlis, in the comfort of their homes.
Now, its founders have upped their game with a dynamic delivery system, which generates a minimum order and delivery charge depending on the distance.
It has a new name too — Faroma. "We launch tomorrow; the list has new entrants such as Tawakkal Sweets of Mohammed Ali Road, Cafe Madras and Bhojohori Manna, apart from the existing Jimmy Boy, Sarvi and Parsi Dairy Farm," says co-founder Devendra Kamtekar. With a minimum order of R60, it's not heavy on your pocket too. Yum.
Baba and his floating claims
A host of workshops and live sessions across Mumbai are an indication of the yoga boom; this one, however, will be yoga with a difference. Or, will it? Lokhandwala resident Baba Balram, guru is all set to perform yoga on water at the MIG Club in Bandra (E), tomorrow at 7 am.
Baba Balram performs asanas in a pool
Balram is going to be doing the Padmasan, Garudasan, Shavasan, Vriksasana and Tadasan in water, while those who attend will practice these on terra firma. Rationalist Arvind Paranjpye, director Nehru Planetarium, expressed his scepticism at the idea.
He said, "Certain yoga postures like Shavasan are possible to do on water as one lies on the back and the lungs are filled with air. But a posture like Tadasan on water is impossible." Balram though has said that he has been doing yoga in a swimming pool, but this is the first time he will perform in public.
The Shivaji Park Marathon Club (SPMC) has organised this session. This runners' club wanted the event closer home at the Shivaji Park swimming pool (or MGMO, to give it its correct name), but there was a glitch — its pools are without water. Rationalism vs Baba's yoga claims? We'll know tomorrow.
We've rocked it!
Farhan Akhtar posted this riotously happy photo that also features Purab Kohli and Arjun Rampal on his Twitter account after shooting for the much-anticipated Rock On 2 wrapped up recently. We'd love to hear (and watch) how the sequel has turned out.
Laughter in reserve

As news of RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan not seeking a second term had social media in a tizzy over the weekend, we did a rewind to this memorable frame from our archive of a delighted Rajan accepting a bouquet from the then outgoing Governor, D Subbarao. Who won't miss an intelligent man with a charming smile?
A fashionable googly
We rubbed our eyes in disbelief. And checked the calendar too (April 1 had passed). After rechecking with sections of the media, it turned out to be true after all.
Chetan Chauhan
Former Indian cricketer, and vice president of Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), had been chosen as the new chairman of the National Institute of fashion Technology (NIFT). The news surprised many from the fashion fraternity, as they voiced their concern over this not-so-sporting hiring.
Set up in 1986, the country's premier fashion institution falls under the Union Ministry of Textiles. The NIFT Act of 2006 states that the chairperson needs to be an eminent academician, scientist, technologist or professional. Does 'sportsperson' fall under these brackets? Nobody could've read this googly.
Celebrating Akbar Padamsee
A couple of months ago, Priyasri Gallery had organised an exhibition titled, Where the Line Falls, featuring 101 monochrome works of celebrated Indian artist Akbar Padamsee.

It was then announced that a book is in the offing, authored by Nancy Adajania and co-authored by gallerist Priyasri Patodia.
The book cover
Art fans will be happy to learn that the book is now available for pre-order and expected to launch anytime between August and September. The book looks at 88-year-old Padamsee's works, his life and inspirations. We can't wait to book a copy.
And now, Sufi Kathak
Kathak exponent Smriti Raj will regale Mumbaikars with a Sufi-Kathak rendition on Wednesday.

S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine
2003, Other
This documentary, directed by a survivor of the genocide, chronicles the systematized murder perpetuated by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979, specifically the torture and killing of the educated classes in the notorious S-21 prison, which is now a museum. But this film is not about statistics and generalized history. Instead, it focuses on two survivors who return to the prison, coming face-to-face with some of the guards who insist that they were only following bureaucratic orders.

Like his characters, author seeks a film
Leonard stresses action, romance
Here's a timely idea for a book: Blend Somali piracy, moviemaking, a matched pair of lovers, and a rogue Al Qaeda shooter in a hip, fast mix. "Djibouti,'' Elmore Leonard's latest novel, is nothing if not topical. If only he'd made his characters less clichéd and more compelling.
Djibouti is a country on the Horn of Africa and the name of the documentary film Dara Barr and her protector, the tall, elderly Xavier LeBo, want to make. Barr has already made documentaries about abused Bosnian women and post-Katrina New Orleans, so Somali piracy seems right up her alley.
On a cruise with Xavier, who is also her cameraman, Dara encounters Billy Wynn, a billionaire oilman, and his squeeze, the model Helene. Billy's taking Helene on an around-the-world cruise to see whether she can stand up to the stress of such intimacy and so prove she's fit for marriage. He's also fascinated by Dara's cinematic prowess and is eager to help bankroll her Somali piracy flick. Tension mounts as the cinema becomes too verité.
Billy also is a kind of conscience. He's out to stop Al Qaeda from blowing up a freighter carrying liquefied natural gas. Dara, Xavier, Billy, and Helene wind up buddies and more; the relationships among the couples are some of the better-developed aspects of a book longer on sizzle than substance. These are May-September romances with minimal heat and plenty of stereotypes: Billy's money is the lure for Helene, while Xavier rediscovers himself as a late-blooming sex machine.
Other players include Idris Mohammed, a handsome pirate chief; Jama Raisuli, a natural born killer whose real name is far more American; and Buck Bethards, Billy's source for inside dope on planned Al Qaeda attacks. All figure in the buildup to an incident involving that LNG tanker.
Leonard's sardonic, humorous tone doesn't jibe with the serious nature of his material. Even though he's deft at description and comes up with some wonderful dialogue, it's difficult to buy into so light a touch here.
Not that this book lacks for zing — the characters are often not what they seem, making "Djibouti'' a thematic relative of the film "Casablanca.'' In this cinematic novel, the imagery is stronger than the narrative; while the two couples involve the reader somewhat, the bad guys don't that much.
Still, the bad guys are vividly bad. Here, Dara gives Xavier her read on Jama:
"He told Idris he shot a man for selling cans of soda the man kept on shaved ice. You know why? They didn't have shaved ice in Mohammed's time.''
There are echoes of "Dr. Strangelove'' (Helene compares Billy to Jack D. Ripper), and when Xavier and Dara discuss their film, Xavier suggests Naomi Watts could play Dara — in a movie about the making of a movie about Somali piracy. Such allusions attest to Leonard's familiarity with pop culture, but it's not the same as depth.
"Djibouti'' winds up being a house of cards: fun to read but insubstantial. You don't have to read between the lines to tell how badly Leonard aches for a film treatment. Word is he wants "Hurt Locker'' director Kathryn Bigelow. There would be plenty of action, color, and atmosphere. Whether those would compensate for a lack of characters who matter is a question.

Third Wave Technologies, Inc. And Stratagene Resolve Patent Litigation; Companies Agree To Process To Resolve Future Disputes
Published: Jan 30, 2007
MADISON, Wis. and LA JOLLA, Calif., Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Third Wave Technologies Inc. and Stratagene Corporation today announced that they have reached an out-of-court settlement regarding the matter litigated in U.S. District Court in Wisconsin in September 2005 and appealed to the Federal Circuit in Washington D.C.
Stratagene has agreed to pay Third Wave $10.75 million in cash as full satisfaction for the judgment. The companies also have agreed to stay any further litigation for nine months. The companies will either seek dismissal without prejudice or an extension of the trial date for Stratagene's lawsuit against Third Wave in U.S. District Court in Delaware. Stratagene and Third Wave have also agreed to a process to resolve that case or any other disputes through an agreement that enables either company to elect to arbitrate a patent dispute or to resolve it through a royalty-bearing license.
"We're pleased to resolve this outstanding legal matter in a manner benefiting both companies," said Dr. Joseph A. Sorge, Chairman and CEO of Stratagene. "With this settlement, we will be able to redeem our $21 million appeal bond and strengthen our balance sheet by $10.25 million. In addition, the resolution of this issue will also enable our management team to focus more resources on executing our long-term growth strategy in molecular diagnostics, including the pursuit of additional partnerships and product development opportunities."
"This settlement is a positive outcome for both Third Wave and Stratagene," said Kevin T. Conroy, president and chief executive of Third Wave. "The settlement has the dual benefit of increasing Third Wave's cash balance to more than $50 million and allowing us to avoid the multi-million- dollar expense of ongoing litigation. The settlement also gives Third Wave the freedom to expand our molecular diagnostic product menu and enables us to focus on what we do best: bringing to market innovative, high-value molecular diagnostics like FDA-approved HPV products."

Second teen arrested in alleged sexual assault, pregnancy of 13-year-old (+Arrest Affidavits)
Published 1:30 pm, Wednesday, August 24, 2011
A second teen was arrested late Tuesday night in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a 13-year-old that resulted in a pregnancy.
Isaiah Christopher Harper, 19, of Midland, is being held on a $35,000 bond for a first-degree felony charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Denzel Lewis Montgomery, 19, who was arrested on the same charges Friday, has been released on a $35,000 bond.
Harper was picked up on the first-degree warrant by Midland County deputies about 11:45 p.m. Tuesday.
Police were alerted to the alleged rape on July 11 when the victim's mother filed a sexual assault report against Montgomery and Harper. The mother said the men "had sexually assaulted her daughter by having intercourse with her minor daughter while they were at the Midland Memorial Stadium on March 26," according to Montgomery's and Harper's arrest warrants.
A person at the Midland Independent School District's Athletic Department said there weren't any official activities scheduled at the stadium on March 26. The stadium is open for the general public to use.
The mother said as a result of the assault, her daughter became pregnant. When the mother asked her daughter how she became pregnant, the victim said because she had sex with Harper, according to the police report.
The warrant and a Midland police spokesperson said it appeared the girl was not forced into the sexual acts, but because of her age, the men's alleged actions warranted felony charges.
Police interviewed the victim on Aug. 4 at the Midland Rape Crisis and Children's Advocacy Center. She told police Montgomery fondled her under her clothing and did other sexual acts to her at Midland Memorial Stadium, the warrants read.
Investigators later interviewed Montgomery and Harper about the incident. Harper denied being at the stadium or impregnating the girl. But Montgomery said he and Harper had been at the stadium with the victim. He also admitted to being in the men's bathroom with the girl but said nothing happened. He added that if anything inappropriate happened, it was the girl touching Harper and Montgomery.
The lead investigator wrote: "Due to the outcry of the victim and the fact that she is pregnant, it is my belief that the suspect Isaiah Harper committed this offense."
If Montgomery and Harper are convicted of the first-degree felony charges, he could serve between five and 99 years.

THE Fiji Women's Crisis Centre welcomes the move by the Fiji Police Force to include non-government organisations (NGOs) in training its staff on areas that deal directly with its line of work.
FWCC co-ordinator Shamima Ali said remarks made by chief operations officer ACP Rusiate Tudravu at the closing of a workshop on violence against women and children for police officers was an indication that the increasing numbers of violence against women and children could be reduced was encouraging.
ACP Tudravu had said police needed assistance from NGOs and other stakeholders because they lacked funding and expertise within the force to conduct such workshops.
"We had the opportunity to help out after we received a request from headquarters to help out on this training. Like you must have heard from ACP Tudravu that they do not have the funding and resources for this kind of training and they have to look at NGOs on how they are able to offer it," Ms Ali said.
"We have provided training and it has been a good week for us because these are people who we normally don't have access to all the time."
Ms Ali said it was encouraging to see the 40 participants from police stations across the Eastern Division engage in workshop in a very positive way.
"The interest they have shown, the liveliness and the vast experience they have in the areas has made the workshop successful."
Ms Ali said the partnership between police and FWCC was very important and the workshop marked the forging of a new partnership.

Even though smart phones and smart watches are the talk of the town currently, one product that just about everyone is keenly waiting for is Google Glass. It is pretty much impossible for someone who is connected to the internet today to not have heard about the Google Glass. It is just like normal specs, but a smart one at that. There is a small glass as well as camera attached, that lets you read information such as weather reports, receive messages, record real time videos and see traffic trends right in front of your eyes without having to touch anything. Google has been testing the Google glass in the past few months and according to the latest reports coming in, b the end of 2013 we could have the first commercial model of Google Glass available. The smart glass or Google Glass will obviously set you back quite a lot of money, in the range of about $1200-1500 but for the sort of technology it is capable of, and hands free availability of information anywhere you go makes it extremely attractive.
How well, the Google Glass performs in real life when it comes out of the Demo scene to the real world remains a mystery, but one thing for sure is that we cannot wait for it. And like Joshua Topolsky of the Verge pointed out after using the Google Glass that it is more of a question of when instead of if now. If you wish to know more about the updates of Google Glass or want to know how exactly does it work, then Techradar have put together a wonderful video to help you know everything about Google Glass. Here it is:
You can also read a wonderful month by month review of Joshua Topolsky at the Verge to know how the user experience of Google Glass is. It indeed is a fascinating device and we for one cannot wait for Google Glass.

Hey Gang,
I found myself in a bit of a jamb last week because I forgot to bring a bug net with me for a three day mid Missouri Bush Whack. I had some spare material in my supply box and was able to whip this net together a few hours before setting off on our hike. I assembled an envelope measuring 90 inches by 36 inches. In the bottom I sewed in a cord channel that holds some mason line with a tiny cord-lock. There is a small gap in the top corners through which my whoopie slings are routed. The net snugs up against the gathered hammock ends to form a tight seal. The draw cord could easily by replaced with shock cord, but at the time I had to work with available materials. The net ends up as a soft seal type - the body of the hammock fills out to form the closure. I had no issues with bugs what so ever. Worked like a dream. If no bugs are around it is a simple matter of sliding the net off of the slings, and Bob's your uncle.
Also shown in these pics is my new DIY 4 Season Man Cave Tarp which was made specifically for this trip.

Klein bottleKlein bottle
A one-sided topological surface having no inside or outside. It is depicted in ordinary space by inserting the small open end of a tapered tube through the side of the tube and making it contiguous with the larger open end, although a true Klein bottle would not intersect itself.
Origin of Klein bottleAfter Felix Klein (1849-1925), German mathematician
Klein bottle
(plural Klein bottles)
- (mathematics) The closed manifold obtained by identifying the boundary components of the annulus so that the resultant surface is nonorientable.
Named after German mathematician Felix Klein (1849-1925) who first described such a surface in 1882. Bottle seems to have come from a misreading or mistranslation of German Fläche ("surface") as Flasche ("bottle").

text: SO, been playing with my iPad for 3 hours, and it's not even HOT. That's amazing. Okay question #1. When I went today to get my iPad, one of the people working at the Apple Store had this clear case on the iPad he was using. It looked like the material on an iSkin Solo. It was pretty cool, but I have no clue where to get one. Or what brand/model it is. HELP? Question #2. I bought AppleCare Protection plan for my iPad, and when i got it for my iPhone, they gave me this little box. They didn't give me a little box today when I got my iPad. Is it like auto-enrolled or something? Question #3. WHEN WILL I PUT THIS THING DOWN?
