New Clean Water Rule Doesn't Quell Controversy
SEATTLE - It's been years in the making, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has just released a new Clean Water Rule, which supporters say will better protect streams and wetlands from pollution – and opponents say either goes too far, or doesn't go far enough.
In past years, U.S. Supreme Court decisions had made it unclear whether federal Clean Water Act protections covered some headwater streams or seasonal bodies of water.
The new rule is an attempt to clarify that, but Chris Wilke, executive director of the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, feels the EPA has caved to industry pressure in spelling out the definitions.
"Some of those protections remain in place, but we cannot protect all tributaries to the waters of the U.S. under this rule," says Wilke. "So, it applies to far less waterways, and it will result in more pollution going into navigable waterways."
Wilke warns it will affect Northwest salmon, particularly coho that spawn in small streams.
President Barack Obama said Wednesday the new rule was written to keep from "getting in the way of farming, ranching or forestry" – all groups that have been vocal opponents of the original rule or attempts to strengthen it.
The Clean Water Act was passed in the 1970s to protect drinking water, but water quality also is a big part of the multi-billion-dollar outdoor recreation economy in the Northwest.
John Gale, conservation director with Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, says his group sees the changes as practical, and a way to eliminate confusion.
"It's long overdue, and it represents the best chance in more than a generation to clarify the Clean Water Act protections," says Gale. "While preserving and in a lot of cases, enhancing exemptions for farmers and ranchers and foresters that encourage and promote wise stewardship of land and water resources."
Gale points out the EPA received more than a million comments and the rule-making process was lengthy, with plenty of time for all sides to share their views. But legal and congressional challenges to the new Clean Water Rule are expected.

Happy Father's Day! Nothing quite says "I love you, Dad" like his favorite pie…in my dad's case: strawberry rhubarb! So, first I'd like to apologize to the pie crust gods…I didn't make my crust from scratch this time (Thank you, Pillsbury) but the really important part is the filling, anyway, right? So get your spatulas out, and get baking!
What You'll Need:
1 1/2 cups rhubarb (about 4 stalks), cut in ½ inch pieces
1 1/2 cups strawberries (about 8 oz.) cut in halves (or quarters)
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp lemon juice
What to Do:
1. In a large bowl: put the sliced rhubarb and strawberries in with the little lemon juice and mix gently.
2. Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon and vanilla and mix.
3. Allow the filling to marinate for 20-30 min.
4. Roll out dough and put in the pie pan, adding the filling on top.
5. Option a) For a plain pie top: Roll out the second crust and put it over the pie, poking holes
5. Option b) For a lattice pie top: Roll out the second crust and slice it one way in 1 inch strips (see in the picture below). Then lay them in the lattice pattern.
6. Crimp the outside of the crust with a fork to connect the upper/bottom crusts
7. Paint the top crust with milk and sprinkle sugar over the top (you only need about a tablespoon of milk…you don't want it to pool on top of the crust anywhere)
8. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, and then 325 degrees for another 45 minutes
9. Try your best to wait and let it cool before digging in…(or just go for it! Who cares if it's a little messy?)

Page Content
Catholic schools, including St Clare's, are committed to ensuring the young people in our schools are safe and protected from harm. Appropriate and responsive interventions by schools, and especially Catholic schools, can provide hope to, and foster resilience in students who may be at risk by protecting them from harm and supporting their healing.
'The person of each individual human being, in his or her material and spiritual needs, is at the heart of Christ's teaching; that is why the promotion of the human person is the goal of the Catholic school.'
(The Catholic School on the Threshold of the Third Millennium #9)
Student protection is integral to learning and teaching. Safety, security and nurture are fundamental human rights and needs. These rights and needs underpin students' capacity for learning and maximise potential for personal development ultimately enhancing their wellbeing and life opportunities.
St Clare's Primary School is governed by the official document
'Student Protection Processes Catholic Education Archdiocese of Brisbane'
This document of processes for Catholic schools administered by Brisbane Catholic Education has been produced to ensure that appropriate responses are made whenever matters of student protection concern come to the attention of staff. The processes laid down are intended to ensure that the steps taken at all levels will result in prompt, professional, sensitive and appropriate action being taken by Brisbane Catholic Education personnel in schools and at the Brisbane Catholic Education Office.

Ever had a chair break underneath you?
I have. And I wasn't even half as heavy as I am now.
I am now scarred for life you asshole of a dining room chair, thank you very much.
I now think I'm going to break every single chair that I sit in. Not only will I have to suffer through the humiliation of it but what if part of the chair goes right through my leg or stabs me in the ass? What the chair doesn't just shame and maim? What if somehow I bleed out and die from sitting on and breaking a chair?
Chairs can be assholes. And dangerous.
You just never know.

Our plane touched down from Antarctica at 5am south african time this morning.
It's almost impossible to be remotely nonchalant about the couple of days that have just passed. Right now I'm still trying to process it all. And catch up with lost sleep. And scurry through the tons of work that have piled up while I was gallivanting on the southern ice with an enormous grin on my face.

Lexington Legends
Legends end season with a bang, sweep doubleheader
Too bad the Lexington Legends didn't play all season like they did Labor Day.
After a rain delay of 3½ hours, the Legends closed their season Monday with a doubleheader sweep of the Savannah Sand Gnats, 2-1 and 3-2.
An overall record of 59-79 shows the most losses by a Legends team since a club-record 94 in 2008.
"We underachieved a little bit, especially on our pitching side," Manager Rodney Linares said. "I thought our pitchers were going to do a better job. But they did grow."
Legends pitchers gave up a league-high 136 home runs and ranked 12th among 14 South Atlantic League teams with a 4.63 ERA.
The offense ranked fourth with 109 homers and ninth with a .255 batting average.
After a 35-35 first-half of the season, Lexington went 24-44 the rest of the way.
Alex Sogard, the team's pitcher of the month for August, said the Legends' struggles wore on him "a little bit. ... It makes it harder when you're not doing so hot. But you just try to keep doing your best and find any way to help the team win."
Sogard went 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA in August, fanning 33 over seven relief outings and 26 innings. He worked three perfect innings to get the win in Monday's opener.
The Legends had the usual mid-season loss of talent to promotions, most notably Chris Wallace, Adam Bailey and Jiovanni Mier.
Injuries also took a toll. Tanner Bushue, a key member of the rotation, had three stints on the disabled list.
Telvin Nash, the team's best power threat, started the season on the DL with a pulled groin. Upon returning, he lasted about 15 games before breaking a hand. He came back to finish with 14 homers and 37 RBI in 73 games.
He was one of three everyday starters to learn a new position this season.
While Nash moved from left field to first base, Delino DeShields Jr. went from center to second, and Mike Kvasnicka converted from a catcher/right fielder to third base. Each was playing their first "full" season of pro ball.
DeShields had a rough start, but he made steady improvement. In July, he caught fire and hit .320. Hitting as low as .192 in late June, he finished at .220 and led the team in runs (73), walks (52) and stolen bases (30).
"My numbers didn't really show it, but I think I accomplished a lot as a player, matured a lot as a person on and off the field," DeShields said. "I'm not where I want to be, but I've come a long way."
Kvasnicka adapted to the hot corner. Early on, he found himself thinking about his new mechanics, but soon was able to simply react.
A switch-hitter, Kvasnicka said what he learned about hitting this season is "too much to even explain."
Most importantly, he said, was "figuring out less is more. You look at those big-league hitters, they look like they're almost falling asleep up there, they're so relaxed. And then they just explode to the ball. So you're not trying to absolutely hammer the ball with all your movement because there's just too many moving parts."
He wound up leading the Legends in games (128), at-bats (484) and hits (126), and he shared the lead in triples (4).
Nash said the biggest thing he learned was how to take care of himself.
"You can't go out, stay up all night and expect to come in and be productive the next day," Nash said. "It's about getting your rest and eating healthy. Those are big keys right there."
Another who changed positions, although not this season, got Linares' vote "hands down" as the most improved player: Emilio King.
Coming in with four short-season stints totaling 159 games, King had hit .214 with four homers and 44 RBI.
Called up to the Legends from extended spring training on May 7, the outfielder and former catcher hit .293 with nine homers, 42 RBI and 50 runs in 98 games. He was the team's offensive and defensive player of the month in August, when he hit .337. King tripled and scored what proved to be the winning run in Monday's second game, and he also threw out a runner at the plate.
"He rose to the occasion and ... became probably my best player, my team MVP," Linares said. "When you look at the numbers, they're not big numbers. But, overall, he was the guy that helped us win more games — defensively, offensively had a lot of big hits."
Other Legends showing promise include right-handed pitchers Mike Foltynewicz and Jorge DeLeon.
Although Foltynewicz struggled at times and led the staff in losses (5-11, 4.97), "he showed a lot of flashes of what's in the future," Linares said. "He's got so much upside it's unbelievable. And 19 years old."
DeLeon, converted from an infielder to pitcher following the 2009 season, is "one guy that might be on the fast track to the big leagues," Linares said. "For a guy that throws in the upper 90s, hits 99 (mph) constantly, it's a durable arm. He doesn't have a lot of wear and tear. And his secondary pitches (change-up, slider) are coming."
DeLeon, who worked the final inning of Monday's first game to post his 17th save, finished 6-4 with a 3.42 ERA.
He is on Houston's 40-man roster, and he has plans.
"I'm working on location for the fastball when the season finishes, when I'm at home," he said.
He envisions starting next season at "Double A for like two months, maybe a month-and-a-half, maybe jump to the major leagues. You never know."
Linares said he expects several pitchers will return to the Legends next season to gain more experience.
Whether he returns to manage a third straight year is a decision the Astros probably won't make until after the major league Major League season.
Like his players, Linares wants to move up. However, if the next move penciled in is to High-A Lancaster of the California League, he's expressed his wish that "I'd rather stay here. I have nothing to (prove) in California and I like Lexington. Love the people, know the town. People know me here and it's kind of my second home, so I'd rather be here than be someplace else."

This is the sound of the song sung by those who opt to remain in the Episcopal Church. In his article at the Anglican Communion Institute the Rev. Russell Levenson, Jr. Rector, St. Martin's Houston, Texas sings,
"Every time a parish, or a group of Christians like you make the decision to leave, it certainly makes it more difficult to do the very thing you have asked me to do...nevertheless, we will try and do just that."
I urge those consdering departure, to consider the CPP(Communion Partners Plan), (whether Diocese, Bishop, Rector or Parish). It is not a perfect solution; far from it. But as one of my colleagues who has been in this battle for a very long time recently said to me, "This is my only viable option...I just don't have a 'plan B.'"
Not exactly a Siren's song. I want something more positive, more convincing.

What response do you have to the phrase, blended family? I am guessing it's an idea familiar to many of you. Without doubt it's a large aspect of my life. Being with my partner, John, means bringing together families. There can be a lot of love in that process, but let's be honest – there can be a lot of stress and adaptation as well. Today I want to chat a little about being accountable & forgiving to yourself first and foremost, while navigating the challenges of life – and in today's post, my blended family. How do I do that? Hoʻoponopono and forgiveness.
Hoʻoponopono: An ancient process of accountability that ties into self awareness to help settle, love, be grateful to, and forgive the self. It's a simple meditation that comes from ancient traditions in Hawaii. There are four phrases that you repeat to yourself in any order as much as needed, over and over:
I'm sorry
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
While it might initially feel illogical to say that a small meditation can heal a person's emotions, you really need to stop and think. Isn't forgiving yourself a reasonable thing? Isn't loving yourself a healing trait? It's simple, I agree, but it also makes all kinds of sense to have this sort of running narrative/meditation/prayer to help you with difficult times.
Forgiveness ties so perfectly into this Hoʻoponopono meditation. At Sister Leadership, we define forgiveness as a spiritual sense of belonging, or "going home" experienced in our human form. Respect your mind, body and soul by letting go of critical self-sabotage and the expectations of others. See that the bigger picture of the impact of systems, relationships and connections is anchored by exploring inner-peace, forgiveness, self-forgiveness, self-love, joy, inner-wisdom and abundance.
Years back my partner and I decided to live together. We blended our families. I moved into his house with his family and where I had a room of my own. In this family home, patterns had already been established. There was history there, there were boundaries and turf (in a sense). My new presence wasn't easy to accept, understandably, since those boundaries were suddenly shuffled.
Back then, I felt the tension and reacted pretty strongly to it. Space became a very important element to my sense of safety. Along with a sense of space, there was a question of being "good enough." Was I good enough for my partner, for this new family? For a while the answer inside myself might have been, 'no – you are not enough', and my actions reflected that insecurity.
Thank goodness for Hoʻoponopono.
With it I began to realize that change and acceptance isn't about the other person. Really, it had to rest within me. And so I began to use the mantra and say the phrases – to this day, I continue to use it, to forgive myself and love myself. Sometimes the mantra is used in my understanding for others, but most often it's directed inwards toward who I am.
Am I enough? You're darn right I'm enough. I feel so much of "being enough", and much of it is credited to the simple and forgiving phrases of Hoʻoponopono.
Why not try it right now? Say it out loud in any order you like, and repeat many times (repeating it makes it feel more powerful):
I'm sorry
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
In the news they are talking of wars, showing pictures of fighting countries and hurt children. There is struggle after struggle between political power players that becomes acted out on the streets and between neighbours. When I think of the power struggle that happens within our homes, it is no surprise these things blow up and up and up into such massive heaps of hatred and fighting. Forgiveness for one another will never start until we are able to look inside and forgive ourselves. It starts from inside. Inside your heart, inside your home, inside your community . . .and only then can it spread outward.
We need to fight the war inside us to love, forgive and give thanks for all the beauty we bring to this world. Forgiveness allows us to wipe the windows clean and let the light shine in. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. There may be many windows in our homes and many cycles of change in our lives. Peace in the world, in my opinion, is possible by cleaning the clutter of conflict in our hearts.
Do you live in a blended family – have you needed to navigate any tensions? I'm asking all you step-moms out there, in particular.
And have you tried Hoʻoponopono? How does it make you feel? I'd love to hear any and all reflections in the comments.
Till next week!

Inspired by the two G/Jems, I decided to investigate the exciting world of fabrics and book pages on cards. I have received some amazing cards from both Gemma at GeeWHIZZoriginals and Jemma at Miss Jemma Elf utilising these very things, and eager to beaver away with all things craft, gave it a go myself.
Two pieces of fabric, a book page, a button, some pinking shear action and voila! It's all cut rather roughly, as I prefer a more haphazard and laidback approach.
The page is from a trashy novel (free with a magazine) that was clearly destined to be used for the greater good. The fabric is from some scraps in my box and the button is from my assortment of buttons. The card is from a pack of 50 at Hobbycraft. So the overall cost was minimal.

Baked these last week for my first customer. As this is the first order, i thought i'll go over the top and baked some pink cupcakes to do a wow factor
It is made of Homemade Strawberry from my best friend J. And apparently my cupcakes taste better than Primrose Bakery hehe (And definitely better than Magnolia)
I made some greentea cupcakes today unfortunately my camera ran out of battery so no photo.
Any girls in London who want to pick up stitching again, I now provide cupcakes for them.
The Thrifty stitchers - http://www.thethriftystitcher.co.uk/
They offer half day to 1 day beginner class where you can take away a bag or a cushion. Or even to drop in for 3 hours when they open for drop in session and bring in anything you want to do. They'll be there teaching you step by step (I brought 4 S trousers and 3 jeans to alternate. I was told being too ambitious)
Anyway, they're launching a new class on chop and change. Shortening, lengthening hems, piping, etc etc. So for any ladies who want to learn a skill to alter their own clothing without visiting their local laundrette.. it is brilliant
And you'll be eating Evie's cupcakes as well

How To Build A Bat House
Building a bat house is a great weekend project that can be beneficial in helping rid your yard of unwanted mosquitoes and gnats. One bat alone can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes a night, so you may want to consider this natural way to get rid of a large mosquito population in your yard and at the same time create a nice bat home that can be educational for young children and adults alike. Though bats are often thought of as a bad thing, they can really be a nice addition to your yard's ecosystem. Here's how to build a simple bat house in a few easy steps:
How to Build a Bat House
Step 1 – Cut the Wood
Use your circular saw to cut 3 pieces of the plywood into these dimensions: 1 piece at 26 ½-by-24 inches, 1 piece at 16 ½-by-24 inches and 1 piece at 5-by-24 inches.
Step 2 – Create Grooves on the Back of the House
Use your pencil to make lines on the back panel of the house (the 26 ½-by-24 inch piece of plywood) ½ inch apart. Make these lines across the entire back of the house. Cut along the marked lines with the circular saw to a depth of 1/16 inch.
Step 3 – Apply Stain
Use a brush to apply the stain to the interior pieces of the plywood. Be sure to use stain and not paint, as paint will fill in the grooves. Wait for the stain to dry and proceed to the next step.
Step 4 – Cut the Firring Strips
Measure and cut the firring strips into 1 piece 24 inches long and 2 pieces at 20 ½ inches in length. Place and secure the two short furring strips on the short side of the plywood and the longer piece along the long side of the back piece.
Step 5 – Put the House Together
Take the 16 ½-by-24 inch piece of plywood and attach it to the furring strips, leaving a ½-inch gap to provide the bats with some ventilation. Next, attach the 5-by-24 inch piece directly below the top piece. There should be an exposed back area that will allow the bats to climb up, land and crawl into the house.
Step 6 – Seal the House
Use caulk to seal the joints of the bat house. Place a 1-by-3 inch board on the roof and secure with screws. Paint or stain the exterior of your new bat house. When it is dry, mount it on a building or a tree in your yard and wait for the bats to come.
This easy project can be very rewarding when bats move into your new bat house. Try it out and experience the most easy form of bug control there is.

The simplest and least-expensive way to refresh and rejuvenate your home is to repaint it. There is nothing like a fresh coat of paint to make the house stand out from the others in the neighborhood. No matter how often you power wash your bright-white trim it still looks a little dingy and cannot stand up to a fresh coat of paint. If you're ready to trudge down to the paint store to pick up that same-old, same-old exterior paint color for your repainting job, why not rethink those colors and instead be a little bold and innovative and go for a brand-new house color. Why not let your home reflect a little of your own personality? If you're cautious and just a little timid about this undertaking, why not consult with a house painting contractor in Essex County, New Jersey to see if he has pointers on paint colors to assist you? Who knows you might even let him take over that big painting project and leave yourself with a little R&R instead! Continue reading

Modern Deck Design Trends
A deck is a valuable asset in your life. Not only can a beautifully made deck create a focal point in your backyard and increase the return on investment down the road, but, it will give you a much-needed outlet to increase the value of your leisure time as well. Decks have come a long way in recent years. The decks of yesteryear were merely a small wooden platform surrounded by a railing where two webbed chairs, a patio table and a couple of tiki torches sufficed every evening for summertime outdoor living. These days, decks are much more elaborate, come in a host of materials, as well as designs, and may or may not, even be attached to your home. Continue reading

Exterior Design Trends
"Rows of houses that are all the same, and no one seems to care." That was a song back in the 1960s, and was it ever true! American houses sure have changed since then. By the 1970s, that old concept of neighborhoods with houses that all looked alike was tossed out for dramatic statements that showed off homeowners' individuality. Today, exterior design trends are bolder than ever, with clean lines, movement that flows with natural surroundings, and huge windows that let the sunshine in. For the past few decades, homes have been getting progressively bigger, bolder, and brighter. And, though a recent trend may be taking homes in a smaller direction, indeed, homeowners inBaltimore and throughout the country are still opting for breathing room and living space that enhances their lives and expresses their uniqueness.

When upgrading from Advance Steel 2014 to Advance Steel 2015, it is possible to migrate almost all the customised user settings (drawing styles, newly added bolts etc.) by performing the following steps - depending on the type of customisations:
Any setting made in a "User" category, like Drawing Styles, Drawing Processes, Manual label configurations, Prefix settings, BOM templates and preferred sizes are saved in the "AstorAddIn" database (AstorAddIn.mdb). To transfer the settings to Advance Steel 2015, the database must be copied from the AS 2014 location:
C:\ProgramData\Graitec\Advance Steel\2014\User2\Data
to the equivalent folder in Autodesk® Advance Steel 2015
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Advance Steel 2015\User2\Data
If the modification appeared in a different database other than "AstorAddIn", for example:
- new owners (Authors table)
- new materials
- detailing scales
- model roles
- new owners (Authors table)
- Saved joint library entries
- Saved compound profiles
To transfer the settings made to these databases, it is necessary to merge the databases with a utility provided in the "Advance Steel Management Tools". The "Advance Steel Management Tools" can be found in the "Tools" tab of the "Tools" ribbon menu (Fig 1.)
Figure 1 - Management Tools icon
Open the "Advance Steel Management Tools" and select "Convert Databases" (Fig 2.)
Figure 2 - Select 'Convert Databases'
Click on the "Open database" button and then select the old version of the database (for example the AstorBase.mdb) from Advance Steel 2014 - located in C:\ProgramData\Graitec\AdvanceSteel\2014\User2\Data (Fig. 3)
Click "Open" to complete the selection.
The convert tool will automatically find the equivalent Advance Steel 2015 database on which the merge will be performed.
The database will be evaluated for changes and the database will be listed on the left under the "Databases" heading. Clicking on the name of the database will display a list of tables that can be merged (Fig 4.)
Figure 3 - Use the "Open database" button and then select the old version of the database
Figure 4 - Selected database is listed on the left of the window. Select the database to display the convert dialogue.
To complete the merge:
The merge operation will compare all entries that exist in both databases. Any entries that have been modified from the default in the old database are updated in the destination database.
Bolts, anchors and shear studs are transferred from Advance Steel 2014 to Advance Steel 2015 through the import/export option in "Advance Steel Management Tools" as follows:
Open the "Graitec Advance Manager" in Advance Steel 2014 and select "Bolts" (or "Anchors" or "Shear studs" – the process is the same)
Highlight the bolt (anchor/shear stud) you want to transfer to Advance Steel 2015 and click Export (Fig 5.)
Figure 5 - Select 'Export' and select a path for the exported database file.
Select a path where the exported (mdb) database file containing the bolt (anchor / shear stud) is to be saved and press "Save".
Open the "Advance Steel Management Tools" in Advance Steel 2015 and select "Bolts" (or "Anchors" or "Shear studs" – the process is the same)
Press Import and select the previously exported/saved (mdb) database file from Advance Steel 2014.
Custom connections (user joints) are saved as AutoCAD (dwg) drawing files. For the files to be available in Autodesk® Advance Steel 2015 it is necessary to copy and paste the files from the 2014 file path to the 2015 file path.
Advance Steel custom connections are stored in the following path:
C:\ProgramData\Graitec\Advance Steel\2014\Shared\ConnectionTemplates
The destination path in Autodesk Advance Steel is:
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Advance Steel 2015\Shared\ConnectionTemplates
To convert the drawing to AS2015 format open each file in turn in Autodesk® Advance Steel 2015 and the file will be updated automatically. Save the file and close.
User Profiles (custom sections created by the user) are saved as AutoCAD (dwg) drawings. There is not a default path for saving "User profile" drawings so the file path will vary. To make the sections available in Autodesk® Advance Steel 2015 it is necessary to open the "user profile" drawing and use the "Generate all sections" tool in the "Extended Modelling" ribbon menu (Fig 6.)
Figure 6 - Generate all sections
"Generate all sections" will add the sections to the Autodesk® Advance Steel 2015 database.
Drawing Prototypes in Advance Steel 2015 do not have the same dimension styles as those in Advance Steel 2014 so it is not possible to copy Advance Steel 2014 prototypes directly into Advance Steel 2015 without modification. All dimension styles in Advance Steel 2015 have been modified to begin "AS_" instead of "DSC_" (DSC_ in Advance Steel 2014)
If the prototypes have been extensively modified in Advance Steel 2014 it may be preferable to re-use them in Advance Steel 2015. The prototypes directory can be copied from one version to another as follows:
Locate the Advance Steel 2015 Prototypes folder and create a backup by changing the folder name. The folder name can be anything other than "Prototypes" – "PrototypesBAK" would be fine.
The Autodesk® Advance Steel 2015 folder location is:
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Advance Steel 2015\Shared\Support\Prototypes
Copy the Advance Steel 2014 prototypes folder and paste it to the Advance Steel 2015 prototypes location above.
The Graitec Advance Steel 2014 folder location is: C:\ProgramData\Graitec\Advance Steel\2014\Shared\Support\Prototypes
When Advance Steel 2014 prototypes are used it is necessary to open each prototype and modify the dimension styles. Having opened the prototype, type "DIMSTYLE" at the command line. In the "Dimension Style Manager" edit the name of each dimension style starting with DSC_ and replace DSC_ with AS_. For example change DSC_DIM_STYLE1 to AS_DIM_STYLE1 (Fig 7.)
Save and close the prototype.

ROCHESTER -- Four people were arrested Monday for abusing a baby police described as �severely injured� after the baby�s grandmother alerted them to the situation.
Amanda Katlyn Riley, 21; Nicholas William Hrvoich, 27; Kimberly Hrvoich, 54, all of 299 Jackson St., Rochester, and Christian Taylor Evans, 20, of 288 Vermont Ave., Apartment 1, Rochester, were all arrested Monday morning.
A police report said the baby�s parents, Riley and Evans, said the baby was injured when he fell from a stroller, but doctors said it was �impossible� for the child to have sustained such injuries that way.
Rochester Police Chief Frank Mercier said police believe the abuse that led to the injuries occurred over a three-week period, but said they are still unsure exactly how the baby's injuries were caused.
Mercier called the case "horrific."
A Rochester police report gave the following account:
Lisa Stevens, who lives in New Jersey, contacted the Beaver County 911 Center Sept. 20 and asked police to check on her 13-month-old grandson. Stevens told police her daughter, Riley, and the baby had been living with her in New Jersey, but they moved to Pennsylvania in May.
Stevens told police she did not hear from her daughter from the time she moved out until Sept. 19 when Riley contacted her and said she and the baby had been sick. Riley also told her mother the baby had fallen from his stroller three days earlier, and it looked like his arm was broken.
Stevens told her daughter to take the baby to the hospital immediately and offered to drive to Rochester from New Jersey. When Stevens didn�t hear back from her daughter, she contacted police.
An officer went to Riley�s home on Jackson Street where she lives with Nicholas Hrvoich and his mother, Kimberly Hrvoich. They told the officer that her son and Riley were not home, but they should check on the baby due to neglect issues.
Police then went to the home of the baby�s father, Evans, who told police the baby was in his bedroom, and Riley had dropped him off earlier that morning.
The officer could immediately tell the baby was �severely injured.� The report said the baby was �very still in his stroller, his arm was severely swollen, had bruising on his face and body, his head appeared swollen, his eyes were sunken and he seemed lethargic.�
Evans told police he �knows his child,� and the baby was fine. He told police Riley had dropped the baby off the night before in that condition.
The baby was flown to UPMC Children�s Hospital in Pittsburgh, where Dr. Jennifer Wolford told police the baby was in a lot of pain and she was concerned about child abuse.
Wolford told police the baby had multiple fractures to his arms and legs and at least one fractured rib along with multiple abrasions, cuts and bruises. The baby also had an advanced infection.
X-rays showed the fractures were at different stages of healing.
Wolford told police she believes the baby�s injuries are the result of �inflicted abusive trauma� and not from a fall from a stroller.
Neither the parents, nor the Hrvoiches, who police said are caregivers to the child, sought medical attention for the baby, police said. When police interviewed Nicholas Hrvoich, his first response was, �It�s not my baby. Why am I even here?� the report said.
The baby is currently hospitalized and has undergone many medical treatments, police said.
At this time investigators believe Riley and Nicholas Hrvoich were the two who actually inflicted the injuries to the baby, but Evans and Kimberly Hrvoich knew about it and did nothing, Mercier said.
Mercier credited the baby's grandmother with saving his life. "Thank God for her or we would never have known about this case," Mercier said.
Riley and Nicholas Hrvoich are each charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child. Evans and Kimberly Hrvoich are each charged with endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangerment.
All four were taken to the Beaver County Jail after being arraigned by District Judge Ed Howe. Bond for Riley and Nicholas Hrvoich was set at $250,000 each. Evans� bond is set at $100,000, and Kimberly Hrvoich�s bond is set at $50,000.

In order to get optimal results from your dye laser, it is important to ensure you are using dye that is precisely engineered.
A dye laser is a laser which uses an organic dye as the lasing medium, usually a liquid solution compared to gases and solid state lasing media. There are thousands of organic dyes but only a few classes of dyes have the right band structure that allows them to be relevant for laser action.
The organic dyes are dissolved in solvents. The solvent plays an important role in selecting the wavelength that the dye is used for. The reason the solvent has such an important role in selecting the wavelength is because the solvent-dye intereaction, processes of polarization-depolorization and proton transfer between solvent and the dye, change the energy levels considerably. This can result in shifts to different areas of the spectrum, some times more than 200nm away. This means that dye with different solvents can have a substantial impact on the effectiveness of your laser and the outcome to your patients.

Many of the Kampala's July 11, 2010 bombings victims may be far from real healing despite some being treated of the physical wounds sustained.
Mr Francis Mugoga, the director of the Uganda 7/11 Survivors' Network, says survivors of the terror attacks are yet to get proper psychological treatment eight years after the incident.
After the incident, the victims formed an association that would help them in the healing process but did not get support from anywhere else.
Mugoga says: "Many times people have tried to talk to the people in our association but we are still traumatised about being in the media yet nothing is done. I do not think some of us can talk about the incident freely because we did not receive the psychological treatment that would otherwise prepare us to talk."
He thinks that psychological treatment is not something that was handled wholesomely. A few days after the incident, the Uganda Counselling Association held critical incident stress management counselling sessions aimed at stabilising the victims and showing support.
According to Henry Nsubuga, a counselling psychologist who was the president of the association at the time of the incident, trauma is a very serious psychological problem that can trigger other additional disorders such as alcoholism and suicidal tendencies if not well managed and treated.
He says: "We had a psychological debriefing, a brief psychological intervention which was aimed at making the victims to stabilise emotionally, think properly and to find a secure place that would protect them from further trauma and harm."
In the next year, the association held a four-day camp for the victims to help them stabilise mentally.
However, since different victims were impacted differently, some people needed more therapy sessions yet others need shorter durations depending on individual ability to cope with traumatic situations.
The association classified some victims as mildly affected and those that they thought had been affected greatly and needed more healing time had longer sessions with therapists who treated them on individual basis.
Kizito Wamala, a clinical psychologist at Centre for Victims of Torture, says there was resource shortage which limited the psychological treatment that the terror victims were given.
He says: "The debriefing was not as intensive and only a few people who were considered to be greatly affected were called for about three or four sessions of counselling. In my experience, however, these are very few sessions and may not be helpful at all if it is psychological trauma. This is not ample time for the people to have healed from such an experience and many of the victims did not receive the therapy they should have got."
Kizito says we cannot underrate the capacity of human beings to cope and recover naturally because majority of them may have recovered even without enough therapy.
"Generally, about 40 per cent of the people who suffer post traumatic experiences often heal on their own provided they have a good environment and are not exposed to continued trauma. They will recover naturally," Kizito says.
Some people are able to get healed from trauma without the emotional treatment but the extent to which they suffered matters in their healing or if there are people they are able to speak to.
"Some people, however, may not be able to heal especially if they remain in the same environment; they do not have someone to speak to like a family or friend and maybe lack the general capacity to meet daily needs," he adds.
Nsubuga says complications that result from the traumatic experiences should not be downplayed in such situations because it has a big impact on the physical wellbeing of a person.
In such cases, going to the same scene, experiencing a similar sound or seeing a similar colour can trigger fast breathing, shivering and some people may suffer lack of sleep, nightmares, hallucinations, poor appetite, sexual problems, chest, spinal or heart problems, and general body weakness.
Importance of the treatment
When people experience trauma, they develop a reaction towards the incident. It could be fear for something they used to do but they do not find joy in doing it anymore. This is the reason why they need help. This shows that these people are not well and they need the treatment to make their life normal again.
Kizito says: "The condition may hinder victims from leading a normal life thereafter, prohibit them from doing so many useful things, not because they cannot but due to fear from what happened. Some may not even go out of the house because they are scared of a reoccurrence of the same incident. The danger is already gone but someone has it in their mind that the danger is still waiting for them."
The treatment helps such people to see life differently and have a new meaning. Just as it is important to treat physical ailments, so it is with psychological trauma.
After receiving several sessions of the therapy, the terms of termination of a trauma victim from the treatment programme are dependent on a number of factors, according to Nsubuga.
"It could be about the number of times they have been exposed to the experience, other conditions that have developed in relation to the traumatic experience, for example depression, or anxiety while others may not suffer as many of these disorders," he says.
Treatment centres
Generally, the facilities for psychological treatment in Uganda are few and specialised trauma treatment centres are even fewer. Majority of these centres are operated by human rights organisation within certain mandates. So they work on certain groups of people as a response to an incident and not with the general population. Furthermore, few people value the importance of psychological treatment.
"There are NGOs that treat trauma like African Centre for Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture Victims in Kampala, Centre for Victims of Torture in northern Uganda, Victims Voice and Makerere University Counselling Centre. These places have skilled therapists. These organisations offer free psychological therapy if the victim lies in their jurisdiction," says Kizito.
Butabika hospital is the only free place where everyone can seek treatment for psychological trauma. Many people, however, are scared of going there because mental illness is stigmatised in this country but it is like any other body illnesses that are treatable.
Other consultations can be done through the Uganda Counselling Association, Uganda Clinical Psychology Association, Nakasero hospital or by privately hiring a psychologist for basic treatment. The cost ranges between Shs50,000 and Shs100,000 per session depending on the consultant.
Bomb blast survivor narrates his ordeal
"Before I left work at about 5pm, some workmates had said we would go and watch the match at Kyadondo Rugby Club because there were artistes performing that night.
After refreshing, I left my house in Bweyogerere and was at the scene by 7:30pm. When I telephoned the colleagues that had promised to come along, they had changed their minds.
I sat in the front row at the extreme right because I wanted to get a good view of the artistes and the football World Cup final. When the first half of the match ended, there was performance and fireworks to entertain the spectators.
The second half started and at minute 70 of the match, we had the blast but because of the fireworks and the loud performances, I did not figure out what it was.
What caught my attention, however, was that people were making noise and they were not celebrating a goal scored. I then rose up but the couple that sat behind me and my neighbours on my right and left did not move. Maybe they were dead. I really did not check what had happened to them because then I noticed people running around in all directions.
As I ran, I heard another blast but now more loud and pronounced. I did not know what it was but I continued running to find the exit and it felt like it was raining on me. Everyone was confused and all they shouted was bomb bomb! I kept following where the crowd went until I reached Shell Nakawa.
I found some people standing at the filling station and with terrified expressions, they asked why I had blood all over my clothes. I was putting on a white T shirt and blue jeans but they were all stained. This was when I realised that what I felt like rain was blood splashing on me.
When I told people that I was at Lugogo, they told me to remove my clothes to see if I was not wounded. Surprisingly, I had no scratch on my body. I could not put my shirt on again and when I tried to stop taxi or boda boda, they refused to stop. I had to walk the whole journey back to my home in Bweyogerere.
While at home I watched the news on TV stating that there were bomb blasts at Lugogo and many people had died. Although I was able to get home safely, I fear going to crowded places until now. I do not go to clubs because I do not think they are safe enough.
Even when friends cajole me to go, I never concentrate on the reason I am in the place. I keep watching, just in case there is any danger. I think I am safer in lonely quiet places. I also sit in a place where I think I can see everything that happens. I never sought any psychological therapy because I did not think it was important for me."

Florence Nightingale
By: Katie M.
New Jersey, Grade 2
Florence Nightingale was born in Italy on May 12th, 1820 and died August 13, 1919 from old age in England.
Florence Nightingale was a nurse during the Crimean War. After the war she opened a school for nurses. Florence Nightingale said she heard a calling from God. Florence made visits to the homes of the sick and began to investigate hospitals.
In March 1854 Britain, France and Turkey declared war on Russia. The Lady-in-chief, as Florence was called wrote letters for the soldiers. She sent the men's wages home to their families. The introduction of the female nurses to the military hospital was a great success.
In 1860 she established the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St. Thomas Hospital. In 1860 "Notes on Nursing " was published. It laid down the principles of nursing. Her reforms have influenced the nature of modern health.
I picked her because she was really important and I think I can follow her footsteps and be a good nurse.
