SECOND UPDATE Thursday, Dec. 12, 2013, 4:28 p.m.: All extra complimentary faculty/staff tickets for the SMU-UConn Moody Coliseum opener have been distributed. No additional complimentary tickets will be available for this game. A limited number of tickets are available for sale. Please contact the SMU Ticket Office at 214-SMU-GAME or visit SMUMustangs.com to purchase tickets.
With the snip of a red ribbon, SMU's expanded and renovated Moody Coliseum and new Miller Event Center will open at the University's 2013 December Commencement Convocation Saturday, Dec. 21.
The 167,000-square-foot complex and Dallas landmark is home to Mustang men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball and SMU academic ceremonies, as well as numerous community events such as concerts, cultural programs and high school graduations. The renovation and expansion features new seating, entertainment areas, court improvements and infrastructure, yet retains the ambiance that has made Moody a favorite venue for more than 50 years.

"With this renovation and expansion of Moody Coliseum and the addition of the new Miller Event Center, SMU will be home to one of the finest collegiate arenas and events centers in the country," said SMU President R. Gerald Turner. "We are thankful to the Moody Foundation and David and Carolyn Miller and others for their support of this facility, which will benefit the entire North Texas area."
SMU Provost Paul Ludden said that it was appropriate that the first event to be held in the facility will be the University's December Commencement Convocation ceremony. "Our graduates and their families and friends will help us usher in a new era in this remarkable facility."
A $20 million gift from the Moody Foundation in 2011 provided the impetus for the extensive expansion and renovation. SMU and the Moody Foundation have enjoyed a long partnership, beginning with a 1965 gift in support of the SMU Coliseum on campus that, in acknowledgement, was renamed Moody Coliseum. Since that time, the foundation also has supported improvements to Fondren Science Building.

Alumnus and trustee David Miller '72, '73 and his wife, Carolyn, also committed $10 million toward the renovation project in 2011. The Miller Event Center, an addition on the north side of Moody Coliseum, named in their honor, includes the Miller Champions Club – a 5,000-square-foot furnished entertainment area on the concourse level – and suites with courtside views, along with administrative areas to support student-athletes and coaches.
The Miller Champions Club is named in honor of David Miller by contributions of several friends, including leadership commitments from Gina and Tucker Bridwell and Belle and Don Berg. Early funding of a feasibility study and conceptual design for this significant construction project was provided by Sylvie and Gary Crum.
All faculty and staff tickets for the opening basketball games on Saturday, Jan. 4, 2014 have been claimed. A limited number of tickets are available for purchase at the SMU Athletics Ticket Office. To help meet the demand, SMU Athletics will also release any unclaimed student tickets to faculty and staff members on Thursday, Jan. 2 after the student ticket pick-up window closes.

We are so excited about designer Tasia Pona's Sewaholic Cambie Dress pattern in the Round Five Challenge of our Super Online Sewing Match. We're sharing lots of pretty versions of the pattern this week, and today we have a special post from Tasia. Tasia shows you how to modify the Cambie Dress pattern into a button-front dress! This gives you even more versatility in this great design, and it's a super-fun technique to learn too. Enjoy, and let us know if you try it out. We love the pop of red buttons in Tasia's version below!
Hey, everyone! Today I have a special tutorial to share. As part of the Super Online Sewing Match, the final challenge is to sew my Cambie Dress pattern! I was thrilled that not only did the team at Sew Mama Sew want me to be involved in the Sewing Match contest, but that my pattern was going to be used in the final challenge. What an honour!
Today I'm showing you how to change the centre back invisible zipper closure to a centre front button closure. I can't take credit for this idea though! A reader of the blog, Colleen, emailed me to ask about modifying the Cambie to have a button-front, and I thought it was a brilliant way to change up this pattern. So when I was asked to come up with a modification to the Cambie it was the first thing that came to mind. Thanks, Colleen!
I will show you how to modify the pattern pieces, how to sew the button-front version of the Cambie and I will show off the finished dress. It's a long post, but all of the information you need is here. None of these steps are that difficult, and I bet won't take you as long to do the steps as it did for me to write them!
Let's get started!
Basically, we are REMOVING the zipper opening at the back, and ADDING a centre front opening with an overlap. The front was originally cut on the fold, now the back will be cut on the fold.
Pieces You Will Need:
- Waistband
- Bodice Front
- Bodice Back
- Skirt Front
- Skirt Back
You won't need the pocket or sleeve pieces. If you are planning to trace your patterns, trace them off before starting the steps below. I'm demonstrating with View B, the full gathered skirt version, but the steps are the same for either version.
To Remove the CB (Centre Back) Opening:
Measure and remove the seam allowance from the Back Bodice, all along the centre back. I drew in a line 5/8″ (1.5 cm) away from the cutting line, that will be the new line to place on the fold.
If you don't want to cut your pattern piece, simply fold under the seam allowance along the 5/8″ (1.5 cm) line. You might find it helpful to pin the folded pattern piece in place so you remember not to unfold it!
Measure and remove the seam allowance from the Skirt Back. The centre back is the side with the double notch, not the two single notches for the pocket opening. Again, draw in a line 5/8″ (1.5 cm) away from the centre back cutting line, and fold under the extra. Because this piece has a straight edge, it's easy to do without damaging the pattern piece.
Both of these pieces are now "Cut 1 on Fold." (See notes about cutting, as the Skirt Back piece may not fit on your fabric.)
To Add the CF (Centre Front) Opening:
That seam allowance that we removed from the back? We'll add it to the front. But first, we'll add an overlap for the buttons. How big should the overlap be? It should be the same as the width of your button. Pick your buttons first. I'm using these little 5/8" buttons, so we'll add an extra 5/8" to both sides of the centre front opening. (It doesn't matter how many buttons you are adding yet. You can decide that later on.)
Tape an extra piece of paper to the Bodice Front piece, and draw a line 5/8" away from CF, parallel to the original fold line. Draw this vertical line longer than the bodice, above and below the top and bottom edges.
Now add back the 5/8" seam allowance on the outside of the 5/8" line. Extend this line up and down, past the edges of the bodice.
Draw in the top edge. For the sweetheart neckline, this is going to be really easy to sew. We'll be able to round off that curve on either side of the opening without having to sew across and clip to the point, and when they overlap they'll create that heart shape!
Square off the bottom edge.
Repeat for the front skirt piece, adding both the overlap 5/8″ (1.5 cm) or the width of your button, and a 5/8″ (1.5 cm) seam allowance to the centre front edge. Square off both the top and bottom edges.
Cut out these new pieces with the extension. These will now be Cut 2 rather than Cut 1 on Fold.
Adjusting the Waistband
For the Waistband, since the opening is getting rotated to the front, you could simply turn the whole piece around so the seam allowances are at centre front. However, then the side notches won't line up. So we'll do it properly, removing the allowances at the back, slashing and adding them to the front.
First, draw a line through the centre front notches, as shown.
Now, cut along that line. You now have two halves of a waistband. We'll tape them back together along the centre back, so it's back to being a single piece! But instead of taping them together along the cutting line, we first need to remove the seam allowance.
Draw in the 5/8″ (1.5 cm) seam allowance on both ends of the waistband piece.
Cut along one of these centre back ends, along the new line you just drew. Overlap the cut edge on top of the other side, lining up cut edge with drawn line.
Tape in place. The last thing we need to do is add the overlap and seam allowance to the centre front – that's 5/8″ (1.5 cm) for the button, 5/8″ (1.5 cm) for the seam allowance. Add this to both ends of the new waistband piece.
Cut out the new waistband piece. This is still a Cut 2 piece (not on a fold) but the opening is in the front, with an overlap added.
Making a Facing Pattern Piece
In order to finish the centre front opening, we'll need to add a facing to the edge. You could just use the lining to finish the edge, but it may stretch out from buttoning and unbuttoning. Plus, if your lining doesn't match perfectly, you'll see a peek of the lining at the edges. A facing will match the garment fabric, support the buttonholes better and keep our centre front edge straight and crisp.
Trace off the new front bodice piece along the neckline, centre front edges, partway down the side seam and partway along the bottom edge. You don't have to use a thick pen like I did; I did it so that the lines show up in the photographs! Make sure there is a long length of paper below the front bodice as we're going to extend the facing all the way to the hemline. (If not, that's all right too, you can tape extra paper below to make it long enough!)
Draw a line 5/8″ (1.5 cm) above the lower edge of the bodice, partway along the edge. This is where the seam will fall when we sew the waistband to the front bodice. We're going to use this line to line up the waistband, so our facing will cover the front bodice, the waistband, and the skirt front, with no seams.
Draw a line on the waistband piece, 5/8″ (1.5 cm) below the top edge. Now place the waistband piece on your paper, lining up the seamline of the waistband piece with the seamline on the bodice. Each piece will extend 5/8″ (1.5 cm) onto the other piece, as if a seam was sewn.
Trace the waistband piece down the centre line, and extend the horizontal lines about 4″ (10 cm) away from centre.
Draw a line 5/8″ (1.5 cm) above the lower edge of the waistband, all the way along the edge.
Draw a line on the Skirt Front piece, 5/8″ (1.5 cm) below the top edge. Now place the Skirt Front piece on your paper, lining up the top of the Skirt Front piece with the line on the paper you just drew.
Trace around the Skirt Front all the way down the centre line, extending the lines along the bottom edge about 4″ (10 cm) away from centre.
Add between 2-3″ (5-8 cm) to the outer edge, all the way down the centre front line. I added 3″ (7.5 cm) along centre front and at the sideseam, and 2″ (5 cm) along the top edge. Also, note that the lower edge has a 1″ (2.5 cm) hem allowance along the Skirt Front. When we sew the facing to the centre front opening we'll have to remember to sew with a 1″ (2.5 cm) seam allowance across the bottom edge of the facing.
I free-handed the curves along the top edge, you can do the same or use a curved ruler to smooth them out. This will be our facing cutting line. At the side seam, make sure that the lower edge is square to the side seam edge, for at least 3/4″ (2 cm).
Cut out this piece. This will be our facing piece. Label it with Cambie Dress, Facing, Cut 2, so that you know what it is later on! (Looking at the piece now, I think I'd make it an even 3″ across the top edge, as it's a little too curved. Or reduce the side seam part to 2″.)
To keep things simple, I'm going to simply sew my facing on top of my lining, like we do with the Thurlow front pockets, and keep the lining pieces the same. There's already quite a lot of information for this post and I want this modification to seem fairly simple to do on your own!
Ok! Still with me here?! Cut the pieces according to the new instructions, cutting the Skirt Back and Bodice Back on the fold.
The Skirt Back piece is very wide, and it was much easier to cut two of them that it will be to fit this wide piece on a fold! If your fabric is narrow, or if you are making anything but the smallest sizes, you might have to keep the seam allowance on the Skirt Back and sew the centre back seam shut. It won't match to a seam on the bodice or waistband but that's all right. I wasn't able to fit my Skirt Back piece on the fold so there will be a centre seam down the middle of my skirt back. It's so fully gathered that it will hardly be noticeable!
For the new facing piece we made, cut 2 from the garment fabric, and cut 2 from sew-in or fusible interfacing.
I also decided to add notches on the facing piece, where the waistband seams will fall. That way it will be easier to sew this very long piece to the centre front evenly.
And I changed the shape of the facing slightly, shortening the long end at the side seam to 2″ from 3″ – that's down to 5 cm from the original 7.5 cm.
Sewing the Button Front Cambie
We'll change a few things in the order of our sewing on this version. Follow the instructions as written, except for the following changes.
Before starting, fuse or baste interfacing to the wrong side of both facing pieces. Finish the inner raw edge of the facing.
Follow the sewing instructions, completing steps 1 through 11. Your bodice will have the fold at centre back, and the opening at centre front, so it will look different from the diagrams even though the sewing steps are the same. For the skirt, if you have a centre back seam because the piece wouldn't fit on the fold, sew up the centre back seam, finish the seam allowances and press open. (I also skipped the pockets because the fabric is semi-sheer and I didn't want them to show through.)
To make it even better, stop the gathers about 3″ (7 cm) away from the centre front. This will give your buttons a flat place to sit. I didn't and it was all right, but if I were to do this again I would push the gathers away from centre front.
When you get to Step 12, that's where things take a different turn. Skip Step 12. Complete Step 13 to construct the lining, but leave the side seam open about 3″ from the top edge downwards.
Once the lining is constructed, pin the interfaced facing RIGHT SIDE UP on top of the lining, also RIGHT SIDE UP, lining up the raw edges along the neckline and centre front. Baste the facing to the lining along the top neckline, centre front and side seam edge. Edgestitch the facing close to the finished edge. (Also, I'd suggest hemming the lining before sewing the facing to the lining. I didn't but it would have made it easier.)
Sew the remainder of the side seam in the lining, enclosing the side seam edge of the facing, and press it open.
Now, pin the lining to the main fabric, RIGHT sides together. Start at the top corner of centre front, and work down the centre front. Pin all along the neckline and armhole. Sew the lining to the dress as in Step 15, but also sew down centre front.
Sew across the bottom edge of the facing with a 1″ (2.5 cm) seam allowance.
Trim seam allowances, clip curves and trim diagonally across corners, like in Step 16. Turn dress right side out and press well. Understitch the facing along the centre front opening, and as far as you can around the neckline. When you turn the lower edge of the facing, it will bring the rest of the hem up by the 1″ (2.5 cm) hem allowance, making it easy to press up the hem the right amount!
Follow the rest of the sewing steps 17 through 19.
Determine how many buttons to add, and mark the placement. Here's a great tutorial on determining button placement. You will absolutely want one button centered on the waistband.
Make buttonholes on the RIGHT side of your dress. Sew the buttons to match on the LEFT side of your dress.
And we're done!
How cute is this version of the Cambie Dress?
Here's the back view.
Like this idea? Pick up the Cambie Dress pattern here. Now that the pattern is adjusted and ready, I'd love to make another button-front Cambie.

Here's a radical idea for politicians hoping to make an impact: tell the truth instead of offering false hope, like France's Manuel Valls.
The most popular politician in France is Manuel Valls, the interior minister in Francois Hollande's Socialist government.
While the President has an approval rating around 40 per cent, Monsieur Valls' rating tops 75 per cent. Three quarters of the country loves him…and the other quarter are from his own party: Only 6% of his Socialist party like him.
His own party call him a 'Sarkozy of the left' and a French Tony Blair. He could be the next Socialist president.
The tangle has some resonance for left parties in every developed liberal democracy.
The ideological cul de sac always results from asking working people for their vote but not their values. Monsieur Valls' insight is that, when voters express concern about crime in the banlieue (suburbs), or support French military intervention against jihadist terrorists in Mali, they are actually motivated by left wing values - and the left should not abandon these topics to the right, as if only the right had a monopoly on what's popular.
He argues he is motivated by principle. Being tough on crime is consistent with left ideology. He once wrote in a book, 'far from being illiberal, a hard stance on order and authority is the best guarantor of individual freedom.' He's not rejecting socialist principle, he is acting on it, he says.
Standing up to the violence of terrorists in a former French colony, and protecting citizens from militants who chop off the hands of those who don't agree with them, is a moral response. Northern Mali is currently the largest al Qaeda-controlled space in the world, an area a little larger than France itself. Last week the Movement for the Liberation of Azawad or the MNLA, burnt down the famous and ancient Islamic library in Timbuktu. This is now a fight between barbarians and civilisation, and Socialists should be on the side of civilisation.
So consider left doctrine about crime, tax and welfare in New Zealand. Orthodoxy says the left should try to avoid these issues and stick to asking 'but where are the jobs?' To do otherwise, goes the doctrine, is to buy in to right wing 'framing' and 'narrative' as if potential left votes might be lured into a dreamworld of false consciousness from which the left's only options are to persuade them they are wrong, or be less than frank about our real intentions.
Spotters of doctrinal error label any attempt to deviate from this line, 'selling out' and flirting with 'Rogernomics' or 'Blairism', as if opposing crime also implies you want to invade Iraq and hock off public assets.
The trouble with doctrine is it makes policy debate stale. It prevents the left from presenting the solutions of the future by locking it into the debates of the past.
Fear of debate, and attempts to marginalise and demonise anyone who questions the doctrine, are actually revealing of a crisis of confidence in the left's own principles - as M Valls has illustrated, if the left can't debate crime and welfare with more depth than saying 'but look over there! At the economy!', then it is repudiating its own principles.
Another cheap shot is to accuse people like M Valls of advocating a 'Tory-lite' version of the Left in order to win popular support. That misses his point. He is arguing that the Left and the Right are driven by different values. The French socialist's intervention in Mali for example continues a Left tradition going back to the Spanish Civil war of standing up to fascism, in whatever guise is occurs. The values of the right-wing neo-cons in contrast see intervention as a pragmatic and necessary way to secure influence and security.
If you think about, say, welfare, voters are motivated by deeply left values of care and compassion. Most people who are worried about welfare are worried about kids growing up in poverty, worried about their future, about violence that happens more often in poor families, worried about social dysfunction. Those are richly left wing concerns. Sure, there are loud voices who resent the community caring about others. But they are not the majority.
The difference is that the Left believes it is the job of the state to help people get back on their feet. The Right tolerates it.
When the left is out of tune with voters on welfare or crime, or terrorism, it is policy and not the left's values that are out of tune with the public. And that means having the courage to reform policy, make it practical and relevant, even when the choices are hard.
What keeps parties in opposition is when absolutism gets confused with principle.
Ironically, US commentators have pointed out this same error is keeping the Republican Party in opposition. Speakers at a Republican conference recently were told not to talk about rape after the disasters during last year's election when candidates like Todd Akin talked about 'legitimate rape'. How can a conservatively moralising party get itself into a position where it can't stand up and say clearly 'we are against rape no matter who does it or how it occurs?'
It's as absurd as the parties that invented welfare feeling unable to talk about reform and improvement of it.
Parties have to meet the people where they really are. You can't fudge your basic position, telling them you are progressive on one issue and populist on the next. You need to choose.
As Manuel Valls insists, politicians should simply tell the truth instead of offering false hope. He has told the French they will need to deal to their public debt, which will mean less public spending in future not more.
They love him more for his frankness.

Leymah Gbowee, one of this year's three women recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize, knows how to get a message across.
In 2002, in the midst of Liberia's second civil war, she helped organize more than 3,000 Christian and Muslim women to peacefully protest the conflict. The women also vowed to stop having sex with their husbands until the violence ceased.
The creative, public demonstrations led to a meeting with Liberia's then-president and warlord, Charles Taylor. In response, he committed to opening peace talks with the rebel group, Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy, in Ghana. The war ended in 2003, the same year Mr. Taylor was exiled and indicted with war crimes by the Special Court of Sierra Leone.
Today Ms. Gbowee, a citizen of Liberia, continues her social justice work. She established the Women Peace and Security Network Africa in Accra, Ghana, in 2007.
In an in-person interview at the United Nations headquarters in New York in June 2010, Gbowee discussed the impacts of allowing women to have substantial roles in conflict, post-conflict, peace, and reconciliation talks and in decisionmaking bodies. She also explained why women around the world still remain largely unrepresented in these processes.
Monitor: How did your experiences in Liberia push you to go on to work in Ghana and other countries? What are your main objectives?
Gbowee: After working with the women in Liberia for a number of years, I realized that peace building, peace activism, and women's role in that process was where I wanted to be. It was a calling for me.
But also I had gotten to that place in Liberia, especially as it relates to grass-roots movements, where I needed to step out of that space and gain greater experience, because my thinking was getting a little bit too local. Two colleagues and I decided to start a regional women's peace and security organization.... [Because of] restrictions, and donors, we needed countries that were stable, have frequent flights, and all of those requirements made Ghana the most suitable place for us to settle….
Currently, our work is set structurally around three thematic issues: gender in the security sector and reform process, rural women peace and security initiatives, and youth security and development initiatives.
One of those areas I find myself being pulled to more is working in the area of youth, security, and development, specifically with the young girls' leadership projects.
What are the greatest tangible benefits to having women be directly involved in political processes?
The first benefit is debunking all of the stereotypes about women's involvement in political processes. The second benefit is this renewed energy: Women's involvement in these processes creates a sense of hope that we are moving away from the old order and we are going toward a new order. I have seen that in a lot of these communities when these women rise up and decide, 'This is the way I want it to go.'
Thirdly, the other thing I have seen is just the mere fact that women are stepping out of their traditional roles, it creates a sense of urgency with political leaders. You see that anxiousness from the male counterparts, that, "We have to do something, or else it is going to be taken from us."
In 2003 you went before then-President Charles Taylor to call for peace in Liberia and for women's involvement in the peace process. How do you think progress for including women in peace processes has evolved since then?
I haven't really seen a big change … progress has been really, really slow. You'd think that we have more women mediators, more women at the negotiation tables, and the general assumption is the
UN has done it over and over, and it would be getting it right, but I haven't really seen that yet.
You still have women advocating for their involvement at the peace table and then you wonder, "Do they really take any of these recommendations seriously?" There have been some little, snail-paced strides they have made in terms of bringing stronger legislation against rape and sexual violence, and you could see now more special requests being made for women in the UN missions. So those kinds of little things you see, but there is still a lot more that could be done.
What would it take to accelerate progress? Another massive sit down strike?
We as women activists, globally, really ... need to sit down as a constituency and say, "This is where we are, this is where we want to go in the next two, three years." The language we need to speak should be the same at every level from Europe to Africa to America.
Liberia is the first African country to have a female president [Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, also a 2011 Nobel Peace Prize recipient]. Do you think this positions Liberia a leader for other African countries?
A female president within herself doesn't change institutionalized patriarchal structures. We still have more men in parliament, we still have more men at the ministerial level. And you also need to remember one thing, because we still have an educational gap – for the past 14 years of war women did not predominately sit in the space of learning. So we still have those challenges we need to overcome.
When you went to see Charles Taylor, you were just in your early 30s. What was going through your head at that moment?
Pure, raging anger.... [I thought] "This one man, this one person, is responsible for the death and destruction of so many people and is responsible for the backwardness of this country. This one man, he sits here without any remorse, and I have to make this statement right because I may never have this chance to tell him off again."
Did he look you in the eye?
He had on dark glasses.

Aside from the intriguing Google Map result,

I know of one person, who lives west of the Dragoon Mts., near Wilcox, AZ, Kansas Settlement area, that might be.
I can give you her contact info, if you would like? She is very well informed of the early history of that very region, having explored most of those mountains aboard, "the horse, that the Conquistadors road in on".
(Like myself, she's a real stickler, for authentic, period transportation.)

12th Annual Black History Month Lecture: A Century of Strides: African-American Girl Scouts and the Pursuit of Equality in Virginia
W.E. Singleton Center for the Performing Arts
922 Park Avenue, Richmond, VA 23284

I need to buy a new blow-dryer, and I'm confused by all the options. Are there any special features I should look for?
Achieving a "fresh from the salon" blowout at home is much easier if you have a good dryer. "Certain features in a blow-dryer can make the job 100 times easier for you," says Rick Haylor, international creative director of John Frieda. His advice on making your dryer decision: First, choose one with a wattage of about 1,600 some run as high as 2,000 watts, but 1,600 is a perfectly adequate strength. Next, metal dryers are heavy and can get too hot to handle, so you'll want to pick an easy-to-wield plastic one. Look for a long nose, which allows you to direct the heat better than a short one would, and a nozzle attachment, which concentrates the air, helping you hit hard-to-reach coif targets. You'll need two heat settings, hot and warm, as well as a cool-shot button. While hot air softens the hair, allowing you to shape it more easily, cold air helps set the style by closing off the cuticle. A dryer we like: Conair 1600 Wall Mount Hair Dryer, $24.72.

|Launched on 15 June, Cyberwise is a learning and teaching resource for students, teachers and parents to encourage cybersafety in schools.
Connectivity has become an integral part of everyday life and learning. As students communicate, collaborate, create and learn with online and digital tools, the need to educate students about responsible online behaviours has become more important than ever.
Launched on 15 June, Cyberwise is a learning and teaching resource for students, teachers and parents to encourage cybersafety in schools. Available through Catholic Education's Classm8 site, the Cyberwise webpage provides a range of resources, policies, teaching strategies and tips to support young people in becoming discerning and responsible users of technology and social media.
Designed in collaboration with teachers and students, Cyberwise is underpinned by Catholic values and key behaviours to be safe, be respectful and be responsible. The focus on these three areas encourages students to be mindful of their online activity in a way that puts relationships, human dignity and personal reputations at the forefront.
Students from St Mark's Catholic College, Stanhope Gardens took an active role in contributing to the Cyberwise campaign by producing a video that would provide a student view of cybersafety issues and a starting point for discussion within the classroom.
Year 10 St Mark's student Jacob Aouchan said the Cyberwise video was extremely relevant for students.
'It is really important that young people have a greater awareness of the dangers and risks associated with social media and are encouraged to be proactive and seek help when needed,' Jacob said.
Top tips for parents to help keep your child safe online
- Be aware of how your child uses the internet and explore it with them
- Discuss with your child the importance of keeping personal information private
- Talk about cyberbullying, remind your child that online communication should be responsible and respectful
- Advise your child not to respond to any negative messages
- Consider using inbuilt filters and controls on your digital devices to manage your child's access
- Keep your virus protection up to date.

Via Ego Trip, dig this Wild Style: Then and Now over at Complex.
Over at the New York Review of Books, here's Bruce Davidson on taking pictures on the Iron Horse in the early '80s:
In the spring of 1980, I began to photograph the New York subway system. Before beginning this project, I was devoting most of my time to commissioned assignments and to writing and producing a feature film based on Isaac Bashevis Singer's novel, Enemies, A Love Story. When the final option expired on the film, I felt the need to return to my still photography—to my roots.
I began to photograph the traffic islands that line Broadway. These oases of grass, trees, and earth surrounded by heavy city traffic have always interested me. I found myself photographing the lonely widows, vagrant winos, and solemn old men who line the benches on these concrete islands of Manhattan's Upper West Side.
I traveled to other parts of the city, from Coney Island to the Bronx Zoo. I revisited the Lower East Side cafeteria where I'd photographed several years before. The cafeteria was a haven for the elderly Jewish people surviving the decaying nearby neighborhoods. I photographed the people I had known there, survivors from the war and the death camps who had clung together after the Holocaust to re-root themselves in this strange land. I walked along Essex Street to visit an old scribe who repaired faded Hebrew characters on sacred Torah scrolls. He and his wife, both survivors of Dachau, worked together in their small religious bookstore. Occasionally, he'd allow me to take a photograph as he bent over the parchment with his pen. When the flash went off, he would wave me away. I would return later with prints that he put into a drawer, carefully, without looking at them. Sometimes, returning from his shop during the evening rush hour, I would see the packed cars of the subway as cattle cars, filled with people, each face staring or withdrawn with the fear of its unknown destiny.
Dig the book, a cherce holiday gift.
Oh, hell, and while we're at it:
Times Two…

KiD CuDi's WZRD Debuts At No. 3 Despite Being Swept Under The Rug By Universal
from the the-fans-have-spoken dept
Last week we wrote about WZRD, the new album from KiD CuDi on which he went in an entirely different direction from his usual style. That's the kind of thing that makes big record labels nervous (they'd prefer artists just keep churning out variations on their first success) and CuDi's label Universal Republic was no exception. After the release, CuDi took to Twitter to vent:
Ok so just a heads up, my weak ass label only shipped 55k physicals cuz they treated this like some indie side project tax right off. So i apologize on behalf of my weak ass major label. And I apologize for the lack of promo, again, my weak ass major label. They tried to rush me thru this so i can just give em another MOTM, but guess what? Fuck that, next album is WZRD. MOTM3 on hold til 2014. who mad??? not me and @DotDaGenius. So its def gonna be tough to find one in the stores guys, I'm sorry about that.
Apparently fans were prepared to make the effort, because WZRD debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. This is especially funny in the wake of RIAA CEO Cary Sherman's recent interview, in which he claimed record labels were needed to "separate the wheat from the chaff" and "designate who is worth promoting and marketing". It seems the legacy gatekeepers aren't quite as good at curation as they think—at least I bet Universal is wishing they'd gotten a few more copies of WZRD out there, and put some promotional weight behind the project. Maybe, if they'd put a little faith in their own artist, they could have had a #1 on their hands.

Grijspeert, Pieter (17th century)
Pieter Grijspeert (Grijspeer, Grijspaart) was a noted preacher of the United Flemish and High German Mennonite congregation at Haarlem in 1625-1655. The dates of his birth and death are not known, but he seems to have been chosen to the ministry while he was young, for in his writings he frequently used the motto, "I am young."
He was one of the signatories of the Outerman Confession (1625), presented to the Court of Holland by representatives of nine congregations. He and his colleague Jan Doom represented the Haarlem congregation at the peace conference held at Dordrecht on 21 April 1632, and signed the Dordrecht Confession. Likewise he appeared as the elder of the Haarlem congregation at the conference held at Haarlem in June 1649 for the purpose of forming a union, when representatives were present from Zeeland, Flanders, North and South Holland, Utrecht, and Overijssel. The three previously accepted confessions, Olive Branch, Jan Cents, and the Dordrecht Confession, were presented and quietly adopted, with the understanding that they were still subordinate to the Word of God. In addition many other regulations were passed for the benefit of the union, to serve in the management of the congregations.
These suggestions were published in 1654 by Grijspeert in a volume titled Een Christelyk Handboeke, gemaakt onder Verbeteringe, hoe men bequaamelyk, als elk zyn Geloove beleeft, en zyne Regeeringe waarneemt, Goddelyk de Gemeente kan regeeren, without place of publication. The author calls himself a "lover of the apostolic church and of general Christian peace." This can indeed be said of Grijspeert. Already by Maatschoen's time the booklet was so rare (1745) that he included it without any condensation in his Geschiedenis der Mennoniten (III, 188-232); not even in the [[Amsterdam Mennonite Library (Bibliotheek en Archief van de Vereenigde Doopsgezinde Gemeente te Amsterdam)|Mennonite library of Amsterdam]] is a copy to be found. It contained questions to be presented to newly chosen preachers, deacons, and baptismal candidates, gives directions for the baptismal ceremony, the reception of excommunicated members, and marriage, besides 30 rules to be observed in the management of the congregation. In conclusion it contains an excerpt from Paulus Merula's Tydthresoor concerning the state and service of the Christian church in the first century, in order to show that it was governed by definite regulations. Maatschoen calls it a most useful booklet and wishes that all Mennonite congregations would on general principles be governed by it; at the same time he notes that many congregations were still living by its precepts.
In addition Grijspeert published a collection of devotional poems, Sommighe leerachtighe Geestelycke Liedekens, gemaeckt uyt den Ouden, ende Nieuwen Testamente, met ook eenige Psalmen Davids, uyt verscheyden Boecken by een vergadert, om in de vergaderinge der Geloovigen tot des Heeren prys, ende stichtinge onder malkanderen ghesongen te worden. The addition of the words, "Vermeerdert met eenighe nieuwe Liedekens door P.G.," indicates that he wrote some of them himself. These compose an appendix titled 's Herten vreucht, inhoudende eenige nieuwe Liedekens, uyt den Ouden, ende Nieuwen Testament by een vergadert tot vermaeckinghe des Gheests. This little volume contains 12 songs, 11 of which were written by Grijspeert. There is also an appendix of six songs by the martyr Elisabeth (drowned at Leeuwarden in 1549), Menno Simons, Dirk Philips, Joost Ewoutsz, Jacques Outerman, and an unknown author. The hymnbook was published at Hoorn in 1629. A second edition, omitting 's Herten Vreucht, appeared at Haarlem in 1638. The last six songs were printed at Amsterdam in 1618, and apparently were added later to Grijspeert's collection. The Mennonite archives at Amsterdam contain two letters written by him.

Some other writer friends and I recently took on the topic of number of main characters in books, whether multiple main characters were a good idea in general, or if that was the kind of thing someone really had to have a gift for in or to pull it off. Here's what I wrote about it.
As for viewpoints, I'm with Phi* and this reader person, if for no other reason, as a reader I am extremely loyal to the first character I identify with. If there are two potential (good guy) heroes, I root for the first one, and I invest myself in him wholly, resenting any intrusion on my hopes for him. I'm like this with pretty much all story-related things; books, movies, actors portraying characters.
As for WRITING viewpoints, multiple or otherwise, it's weird, but I look at it like a video game. A good game doesn't just have the game-play itself (the fighting, strategizing, reaching a goal, etc), or just one storyline. A really pleasurable game has one main storyline or plot and several (sometimes optional, sometimes not) "side quests". Now, the idea of a secondary storyline, or side story, isn't new, but done well, with connective tissue with the main storyline, it works brilliantly for the making of a full-bodied, wholly immersive** tale, which is something you want, either as a player or a reader.
I enjoy writing this way. I enjoy large casts whose stories--either as the main impetus or a sideline--carry over through multiple books. Not everyone in the 'cast' will have a huge amount of screen-time, but their every interaction should do one of two things: make something happen, or make more sense of something that has already happened.
Writing in first person, it's very clear who the 'main" character is, who her love interest is, and the tier-style of importance of each supporting character. Joss isn't only the main character of the Dionadir books, but she is also the filter through whom we understand the books' world and populace.
And that's pretty much how I feel about structure regarding emphasis on characters and viewpoint. It's kind of a shading system; You have your darkest lines, your main character, but you need entire gradients to create an accurate perception of someone or something.
* Phillipa Fioretti, author of The Book of Love, out now, and the upcoming The Fragment of Dreams.
** Apparently, I've made up my own word, here. Please take note and add it to your dictionaries, digital, mental, and paperback Webster's, if you've got one. *grin*

Some other writer friends and I recently took on the topic of number of main characters in books, whether multiple main characters were a good idea in general, or if that was the kind of thing someone really had to have a gift for in or to pull it off. Here's what I wrote about it.
Sometimes My Brain is Funnier than I Am . . .
. . . which can be saddening, 'cause you know, I can't use every giggle-worthy thing I come up with, either because they're a little off-color (hi, I'm a grown-up; nice to meet you), or there just really is no play for the remark/comment/scene. So, that in mind, a few things rattling around in my brain that may or may not make the cut some day.
"Your fault? Of course it's your fault. It's always your fault. There's a whole museum of things that are your fault. They're adding a Hall of Fault Fame. It's dedicated to the victims of your stupidity."
"It's okay. Every one knows your testicles are pretty much ornamental, anyway. You might as well bronze them and display them on the mantle for all the good they do you."
"Damn, girl! That was something else."
"Yeah, I know. I've sort of been doing it as a hobby for while, but I'm hoping to go for a full Bad-assary PhD in a couple years."
"I rent an apartment in what could arguably be described as Hell and you what--want to see me safely inside?"
Personal Note: A hard-core (possibly old lady-ish) pet peeve of mine is people breaking before they put on they're turn signal. Seriously, how hard is it to tell yourself to flick on your signal a couple seconds before you put your foot on the break. I don't care what your DMV pamphlet says; the turn signal isn't so much about which way you're going as it is to tell the people behind you, "Hey, I'm going to slow down a lot here in a second, and I'm letting you know ahead of time because neither of us wants your hood shoved into my trunk."
My Subdued's a Little Suped up, Lately.
So, one of the things about living with three young sons, a gamer husband, and a retarded, head-thumping-into-walls-boy-cat is the rarity of silence. You know, the kind in which one can actually hear her keys clacking away while she types. Or the fridge humming along. With all the noise being of the white variety.
Authoress posed a question about seasons impacting an individual's writing productivity, and like a light-bulb, my brain dinged for a second, because I realised, at that moment as I read her post, my house was silent. The eldest boys are at school, and the youngest is well into nap time. Even the Daddy-Man is off running macho-esque errands, and Fable is . . . well, he's um, indulging himself in some personal (but silent!) hygiene.
Along with the quiet, it occurred to me I'm so used to, so programmed for Amethyst-eclipsing sounds 98 per cent of my waking hours, I sort of react to silence as a wind-up clock that has lost its twist. Even while I folded laundry, I watched a television show, because . . . well, aside from it being a good show and wanting to know what happens next, I didn't know, nor did I suspect it was because my subconscious knew I needed the sound--that bit of brain distraction--to tell the rest of me it was still Time to Get Stuff Done. As soon as my laundry was folded and the show finished, I sat still for a while, kind of at a loss of what to do next. Trust me, there's always something to do next. Did I mention I live with five males? Yeah.
The silence had kind of paralyzed me. This may shed some light on why my Dionadir trilogy playlist already has about 200 songs in it, and I add more regularly. So, my thing, my productive thing, it's not so much seasonal, or time-related, but aural.
And oh, look. The Youngest just woke up and has turned on Curious George. Guess it's time to achieve today's goal of liberating The Youngest's floor from the carpet of toys oppressing it.

In 1989, communities of the Denton County area requested the legislature to create Upper Trinity Regional Water District- - with a priority mission to develop a regional strategy for water supply. Working with Members and Customers, Upper Trinity is planning today for the water this region will need tomorrow. By state law, we must plan ahead for at least 50 years.
Because ground water (from wells) is so limited in this region, the most reliable water for the future is from surface water sources (from lakes). Therefore, to provide a reliable, secure and adequate water supply for this region, Upper Trinity is developing a comprehensive and diversified portfolio of water supply sources. Present supplies are adequate for about 25 years, and additional water sources are needed to extend the supply to 50 years.
Upper Trinity Regional Water District's Diversified Water Portfolio
- Local water in Lewisville Lake and Ray Roberts Lake
- Chapman (Cooper) Lake in northeast Texas
- Proposed Lake Ralph Hall in Fannin County
- Proposed reuse of water from water reclamation plants
- Possible additional water from Sulphur River Basin
- Proposed purchase of additional water from City of Dallas
Recognizing that it takes 25 to 35 years to develop a lake, additional sources must be identified today so they can be developed in time for tomorrow. Proposed Lake Ralph Hall represents a strategic opportunity for an investment in the future economy of this region- -an investment for our families.
Upper Trinity's Land Office is now open!
We're located at 10910 State Highway 34, Ladonia, TX 75449.
If you have questions, please call us at 903-367-7008.
With Vision and courage, we plan.
With cooperation and committment, we serve.

I never had a boyfriend on Valentine's Day as a teenager. Or most other days for that matter.
When I saw my friends and frenemies with flowers and balloons, I acted like I didn't care. But every girl cares a little. And then in the 11th grade, a boy I liked gave me a handmade card. It was a doomed relationship of 6 days, but I might still have that carefully crafted red and pink construction paper card in my attic.
My 13 year old who is just noticing these things asked me the other day, "Momma, did you have a lot of boyfriends before Daddy?"
I smile and I tell her of a crush or two, and of the unrequited love that makes up my romantic history. Until her Daddy. He was the first one who loved me for me.
Back then, I wanted what I didn't have…attention, affection, admiration from a boy. Now as a momma of daughters, I'm so happy to tell them I waited for real love.
She smiles a goofy grin, the dreamy-kind, "I like that story. I like that you waited for Daddy and he was your first real love."
I like it too, honey.
Because he was worth every lonely Valentine's Day.
There's a lot of unspoken pressure to give and receive today, even as an adult.
I'm not going to turn away flowers or flush chocolate down the sink, but it's not really about all that.
We all know what our husbands want today, right? I bet many of us would say it starts with S and ends with X.
Close. (It's actually an easy gift to give and it's free (hola!) )
But really our men want more than sex. Our husbands are deeper than that. It's really opportunity they are seeking, it's the chance to please their wives.
"Women, this might surprise you, but even more than your husband wants to have sex with you for his own sexual relief, the truth is, he wants to please you even more than he wants to be pleasured. It might seem like it's all about him, but what he really wants, emotionally, is to see how much you enjoy the pleasure he can give you. If he fails to do that, for any reason, he'll end up feeling inadequate, lonely, and unloved." -Dr. Kevin Lehman, Sheet Music: Uncovering the Secrets of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage
Knowing that under the layers of desire, there's the simple fact that he wants the chance to please me is just about the best gift we can give each other.
"And believe it or not, getting enough sex isn't the point. Nearly all the men surveyed – 97 per cent – said that even if their wives agreed to have sex every time husbands wanted, sex would still be empty if their wives didn't seem to desire them.
When we say no to sex, we're usually saying we don't want sex at that moment. But he hears the much more painful message that we don't want him. One man said, "When she says no, I feel rejected. 'No' is not no to sex; it's no to me as I am." By contrast, making the first move once in a while sends a powerful and affirming message to your man." -Shaunti Feldhahn, For Women Only: What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men
Alrighty, girls. I've said enough.
Y'all have a sweet day.

The Number Won
Hey, guys! Number 1 here, and it's my birthday!! I am so excited to have my first birthday as a Cake Wrecks writer. What wreckiness will I get to witness FIRST HAND this year?!? I can't wait. I keep imagining Jen ordering me a cake with some sort of numerical wreckery like "Numbered One," "1 Number," "1# One," "Nummer Won," or "Numb Are Want in pink icing." So in that spirit, here are some other Wrecks whose days are numbered.
(Next to "Big," it should read, "off-center.")
(Give it a minute.)
It could be an inspirational cake, though, if you just tweak the punctuation:
"Asbigas, you can make it! 30! Happy Birthday."
There's really no excuse, Ricki M., Jane R., Callie B., and Kelly (A.K.A. Asbigas.) These cakes are a giant number #2! With pink stars. And frosting flowers under neat.
UPDATE: I got my wish!! Here are the cake mounds Jen and John got me for my birthday:*
They were pretty awesomely wrecky (note the "#1") but MAN, did they taste good. Jen and I were kinda bummed that they removed the cupcake wrapper before frosting them; that would have made a perfect wreck! Thanks again, guys!

Salk Institute for Biological Studies
Sited at the head of a ravine along coastal bluffs, the Institute's integrated building complex and natural setting provide a contemplative working environment for a community of scientists. The austere central plaza is flanked by the symmetrical, four-story, semi-detached rows of researcher studies in bays with diagonal walls oriented toward the sea. Behind, linked to the studies by bridges, are free plan laboratory spaces.
Name(s) of Surrounding Area/Building(s): Torrey Pines Natural Reserve
Visual Relations: North Building (original): Molecular Cell Biology South Building (original): Neurosciences
Functional Relations: Lab building proximity relationship essential
Salk wanted flexible laboratory space – meaning free of columns and walls with the ability to adapt to changes over time. The Engineer Komendant suggested the use of a 9-foot tall Vierendeel truss to span the 65-foot wide labs. Those trusses became the "Interstitial Space" to house the mechanical systems and larger machinery. The alternate floors became free.
This project improved the science of science; researchers became more collaborative and development accelerated. This seemingly simple act changed the way research was conducted, from the historical double-loaded corridor of cellular labs – to a more integrated adaptable lab. The impact on human inter-relations transformed. It is also important to note Kahn's deliberate design of space for the individual, small group, and large collective. He also designed the possibilities of serendipitous interaction through careful consideration of spatial relationships and their derivative circulation.
The formal characteristics of the complex, including pure geometrical forms has been attributed to both Kahn's interest in ancient western ruins and Salk's interest in Assisi, Italy.
Reverence for the building was escalated in the early 1990's when the Ashen + Allen addition was proposed. The number of conversations that the new design sparked was enormous. The number of journal articles prior to that are very limited.
Although not the first lab building to use the free-plan, Salk's lab in Philadelphia inspired the idea in La Jolla.

THE City of Terrace has finalized a deal with a Chinese wood processing company to lease it city-owned land on the southside for the next 10 years.
Yaorun Wood Co. Ltd, which also operates a wood processing plant in Burns Lake, will pay $10,000 a month, or $120,000 annually, to use the Keith Ave. land, which was once a log yard for the now-dismantled Skeena Cellulose/Terrace Lumber Company sawmill.
The approximately 20 acres is bounded by Kenney to the east, Keith to the south, CN's rail line to the north and to nearly Blakeburn to the west.
It had been listed for sale for $1.5 milion.
The company will also pay property taxes, which will be determined depending on its exact plans for the property, said Heather Avison chief administrative officer for the City of Terrace.
"It's pretty limited use," said Avison, referring to lease conditions. "Outdoor logging yard, basically comprised of some storage for raw wood."
This deal is good news for Terrace, says Avison.
"It means $120,000 worth of revenue, for starters, for the lease, plus having taxes paid on the property which we haven't had for some time," she said.
Full details of the company's plans for the land will be released closer to the end of the month, said a spokesperson for Yaorun Wood here in Terrace.
The city has been in negotiations with the company since September. Yaorun was originally interested in leasing the airport lands, but pulled back on that agreement late last year.
Yaorun has been interested in Terrace for some time, even going so far as to invite, and partially pay for, Mayor Dave Pernarowski's late-summer trip to China.
According to the lease, Yaorun takes control of the property tomorrow and the city says it expects it to begin developing right away.
"I think they do plan to start as soon as possible," said Avison. "My understanding was that they had wood to move, that they needed a place to store wood initially, but that would be a question for Yaorun to be certain."
The acreage was once part of a much larger industrial wood-processing land package that stretched across Kenney all the way east to the Sande Overpass.
It has housed various sawmill configurations over the years, the last being a mill that opened in 1988 under the ownership of Skeena Cellulose.
That company went into financial difficulty in the late 1990s, sparking years of uncertainty and financial support by the NDP government of the day in a bid to keep Skeena Cellulose's Port Edward pulp mill and Terrace sawmill open.
That support ended when the current provincial Liberal government was elected in 2001, causing the region to fall into years of a regionally-based recession.
The Terrace sawmill opened in 2005 under the local ownership of the Terrace Lumber Company but closed for good a year later.
The sawmill was sold off and dismantled shortly thereafter and the city ended up with the land because of unpaid taxes and an unpaid loan.

Radiation therapy for childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays or particles to destroy cancer cells. It is not commonly used to treat childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The healthcare team will consider your child's needs to plan the type and amount of radiation, and when and how it is given. Your child may also receive other treatments, such as chemotherapy, along with radiation therapy.
Radiation therapy is given for different reasons. Your child may have radiation therapy to:
- treat lymphoma in the brain and spinal cord (called the central nervous system, or CNS)
- prepare for a stem cell transplant
- relieve pain or control the symptoms of advanced NHL
Radiation therapy may also be used to treat the following life-threatening conditions (if chemotherapy doesn't relieve them):
- superior vena cava syndrome
- blockage of the upper airway
- a blocked, or obstructed, organ
- spinal cord compression
External beam radiation therapy
Childhood NHL is treated with external beam radiation therapy. During external beam radiation therapy, a machine directs radiation through the skin to the tumour and some of the tissue around it. It is usually given 5 days a week for a few weeks.
External beam radiation therapy may also be given to the entire body in preparation for a stem cell transplant. This is called total body irradiation, or TBI.
Side effects
Side effects can happen with any type of treatment for childhood NHL, but every child's experience is different. Some children have many side effects. Other children have few or none at all.
During radiation therapy, the healthcare team protects healthy cells in the treatment area as much as possible. But damage to these healthy cells may occur and cause side effects. Side effects can happen any time during, immediately after or a few days or weeks after radiation therapy. Sometimes late side effects develop months or years after radiation therapy. Most side effects go away on their own or can be treated, but some side effects may last a long time or become permanent.
Side effects of radiation therapy will depend mainly on the size of the area being treated, the specific area or organs being treated, the total dose of radiation, the treatment schedule and the child's age. Some common side effects of radiation therapy used for childhood NHL are:
- skin problems
- fatigue
- sore mouth and throat
- taste changes
- difficulty swallowing
- nausea and vomiting
- diarrhea
- changes in the amount and consistency of saliva
Other side effects can develop months or years after treatment for childhood NHL. Find out more about late effects for childhood NHL.
Tell the healthcare team if your child has these side effects or others you think might be from radiation therapy. The sooner you tell them of any problems, the sooner they can suggest ways to help your child deal with them.
Questions to ask about radiation therapy
Find out more about radiation therapy. To make the decisions that are right for you, ask your healthcare team questions about radiation therapy.
A group of symptoms that include coughing, difficulty breathing, headache, dizziness, fainting and swelling or flushing of the neck, face and upper arms.
Superior vena cava syndrome occurs when the superior vena cava (the large vein that carries blood from the head, neck, arms and chest to the heart) is compressed by a tumour or blocked by a clot.

The revolutionary "Street Converter" (2000-2200 stall) that came from research and development of off-road competition. These converters offer a slightly higher stall speed that would allow greater torque bands at medium and high-speeds and increased lock-up at higher rpm ranges. In addition, there's an increase in fuel mileage at cruise speed. The 10" converter is recommended for vehicles in excess of 450 HP. Thus, named heavy-duty "Super Torque" converter. You'll get 52 extra horsepower over stock converters with the heavy-duty Super Torque converter.
Please note, these torque converters have a full 90-day warranty and are guaranteed against defective workmanship for two full years from the purchase date. After 90 days, for two years, California Performance Transmission will completely repair or replace, at its option, at a cost in relationship to the original cost of the torque converter.

JERUSALEM -- In one of the most violent clashes in years between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank, Israeli security forces killed three Palestinians early Monday during a raid at the Qalandia refugee camp near Jerusalem.
Palestinian medical officials said two others were in critical condition and 19 were wounded. All were shot in the chest and upper body, according to doctors at Ramallah Hospital.
Israeli border police and soldiers entered the camp before dawn to make an arrest, prompting hundreds of Palestinians to riot against the operation by throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails, according to Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.
"There were large-scale disturbances to stop the operation,'' Rosenfeld said. "In a life-threatening situation, officers must use whatever means they have to ensure their safety."
It remained unclear which security forces used live ammunition. Rosenfeld said border police used only riot-control means.
Officials of the Israel Defense Forces had no immediate comment on the incident.
Palestinian witnesses said an undercover Israeli unit entered the camp at 3 a.m. and attempted to arrest a Fatah militant who had recently been released from an Israeli prison. When camp residents began to attack members of the undercover unit, soldiers arrived to rescue them.
Deadly clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinian youths in Jerusalem and the West Bank rose sharply this year, with more than a dozen Palestinians killed so far in 2013, Palestinians say.
In recent years, deadly confrontations have rarely resulted in the kind of multiple deaths seen Monday.
In a similar clash last week, Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian man in the Jenin refugee camp after a riot erupted when the army entered to camp to arrest a suspected militant.
