From a distance, an ominous cloud of smoke billowed from the mountain tops north of Prescott from the Doce Wildfire. Ava Kleinman saw the fire up close and personal.
The 7-year-old has kept a close eye on Doce's path from her front yard. Wednesday afternoon she watched as it left its mark on Granite Mountain.
While the kids played, their mom packed, making sure the family is ready if they need to evacuate.
"Things that I thought that I couldn't live without really don't seem that important when you're planning to leave in an emergency situation," said Rebekah Kleinman.
Planes fly over their home as crews work to slow the fast moving flames. As of Tuesday night, the fire hadn't yet cleared the ridge in front of the Kleinman's home, but by Wednesday morning the inferno had made its way into the Valley below.
"One of the huge tankers flew right overhead last night. It was so close one of my kids swore they could see the pilot," said Kleinman.
Although the Kleinmans are prepared for the worst, they remain cautiously optimistic.
"Honestly, today I feel a lot better than I did last night. We've seen the fire shift quite a bit. But it's still kind of nerve wrecking to pack all of your things and just not knowing," said Kleinman.

Update on HIV/AIDS
Vincent Lynch, MSW, Ph.D, spoke with Dorland Health about the state of HIV/AIDS today and about a new resource that can assist with resource management. Dr. Lynch founded the Annual National Conference on Social Work and HIV/AIDS in 1988 and is Director of Continuing Education at the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work.
Ruth McRoy, Donahue/DiFelice Endowed Professor of Social Work, is recognized for her groundbreaking and innovative research in the areas of child welfare, adoption, and diversity. More on an Inclusive Perspective »
For renowned scholar and Graduate School of Social Work Professor Margaret Lombe, social work research is only as good as the lives it saves. More on from Research to Outreach »
Boston College Graduate School of Social Work conducted the 26th Annual National Conference on Social Work and HIV/AIDS during May 22-25 2014, at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center. The theme of the conference was "New Practice Approaches…For a New Era in HIV/AIDS Care."
Over 500 HIV social workers from across the country and abroad attended the conference. There were over 100 presentations in various conference formats such as general sessions, brief reports, posters, individual workshops, and conversations about best practices. We once again offered the very popular 12-hour Medical Case Management Institute, developed and taught by colleagues from Diverse Management Solutions in Denver, Colorado.
Several "meet and greet" events and receptions were held for networking with colleagues. The Professional Association of Social Workers in HIV/AIDS also hosted some events. The conference awarded 25.5 social work CEUs (continuing education units).

The Boston College Graduate School of Social Work founded the Annual National Conference on Social Work and HIV/AIDS in 1988. This four-day conference, under the direction of Director of Continuing Education, Dr. Vincent Lynch, has been held on an annual basis since 1989. Each year the event draws more than 500 AIDS-care social workers from across the country and from many nations abroad. The conference continues to be the only one of its type; that is, a national conference organized by and for AIDS-care social workers. The conference is held in a different city of the country each year, and its location rotates between four regions of the U.S. (Eastern, Western, Midwestern, Southern states).
More than 120 conference presentations on AIDS social work service delivery are given each year in different formats, the vast majority of which are contributed by social workers involved in AIDS-care at hospitals, clinics, universities, AIDS service organizations, community-based organizations, and social agencies. Four books on AIDS social work have been published from the proceedings from several past conferences. The conference also offers many networking and social events.
The School has obtained over $1 million in contracts and grants from governmental and corporate sources to expand the offerings of the conference over the years. A partial list of funders includes: HIV/AIDS Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration, Gilead Sciences, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute of Mental Health, GlaxoSmithKline, and Agouron Pharmaceuticals. The School has also received awards for the conference's contributions from the Council on Social Work Education, the Massachusetts Chapter: National Association of Social Workers, and Harlem United Community AIDS Center, New York City.
For additional information about the conference, contact Dr. Vincent Lynch, Director of Continuing Education, at email@example.com or 617-552-4038.

Green: From just a color to the ultimate way to lead your company, change the mindset of future leaders. This was the title of the American Chamber of Commerce's Young Professionals Event celebrating the 50 years Dutch anniversary.
How did the speakers influence the group of over 100 young leaders and professionals?
They started with showing passion and explaining a personal story in the mist of what can be an overwhelming topic: sustainability and CSR. It's starts with enforcing the individuals responsibility, as well as, saying and acting like it makes complete and utter business sense to work towards being more sustainable. It's about sharing your hearts and using your brains. How? The role of creativity and innovation is key to creating movement towards the changes which are needed in order to protect the planet and the people who live here. Change of mind-set also means that we must start by accepting that we (human kind and the businesses that we have created) have been acting irresponsible.
Although we agree that Innovation engines are the drivers which will create and guide the way forward for us, there is an urgency not to be lazy and not to optimize on what already exists. DARE TO CREATE SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW.
Be proud of what you do create and your customers will be too. Strive to be unique, positive and the first. Go beyond "what is less bad = is good" and using "guilt management" as drivers for change. Celebrate the human foot print, but be knowledgeable, innovative, passionate and committed towards our future, our planet and each other.
And by the way, it is cutting edge and can be very profitable.We collected commitment statements from the AmCham Young Professionals group: "How will you personally commit, within your reach of influence, to being and acting "Green" as a young leader?""I personally commit to actively share insights to make people realize that acting green is not a trend or hype, but a necessity when it comes to managing resources economically in a peaceful and smart way in the world. And that it will effect our wealth and wellbeing already, not only generations to come." Marlon Huysmans, Sustainability Director, OVG Real Estate B.V. "To continue to pay a premium for green products despite the economic turbulence." James Cudin, Global Accounts Director, Ezswim B.V."To work towards the long term and sustainable relationship with my clients. This is the future and get back to the basics." Sharoepa Janki , Relationship Banker, RBS Global Network Banking "Looking for cradle-to-cradle aspects in products we produce, and put more efforts into looking deeper into these products."

Technology has allowed deer hunters to become much more knowledgeable about deer behavior. Through the use of trail cameras and year-round scouting, I've been able to document many bucks in our area that illustrate why it is so difficult to stockpile bucks.
Here are two examples.
Buck 1: In 1996 this buck's home range was roughly 2 miles from our farm. During summer and into September, a landowner had several encounters with him and was even able to videotape the buck. The buck had disappeared by October.
As it turned out, the buck made at least one trip to our farm, which is where our paths crossed. On Nov. 17, he and an estrous doe came within gun range of my tree stand, and I harvested him. I had never seen this buck until we met in November. Had it not been for the rut, I never would have seen this giant, much less had a chance to kill him.
Buck 2: Throughout 2001, this buck lived on a large dairy farm, a little over 2 miles from our farm. Several people had seen this buck on that farm throughout summer and early fall. In November, he was still there, and on Nov. 11, a close friend of mine photographed the buck in one of the farm's fallow fields. After the encounter he called me to share what had happened. I can remember my friend commenting that whoever hunted the farm when gun season opened was going to be in for a treat.
Although I knew of this buck, I thought he was living too far from our farm for me to ever get a glimpse of him. I was wrong. On Nov. 20, the second day of our firearm's season, he walked by my tree stand. That night, many locals gathered in our barn to take a look at the buck. My friend who had photographed the deer nine days before my successful hunt, brought his photos with him to see if it was the same buck. Needless to say, when the photo match was made a lot of discussion took place concerning the amount of territory that buck was covering.

Twins, Again! Multiple Multiples Are More Common Than You'd Think
After struggling with infertility, assisted reproduction, and a tough pregnancy with identical twin daughters, Leisa Mullins and her husband were ready to count their blessings. "I had actually gone in to my doctor to schedule a tubal ligation," says Mullins, who lives in Ohio. "We thought, 'we're so lucky, we've got our two healthy girls, we'll stop there.'"
But the Mullinses hadn't counted high enough. At her tubal consult, Mullins learned she was unexpectedly pregnant. Soon after, an ultrasound revealed a second set of twins. Fifteen months after delivering her first set, Mullins and her husband had two more little girls.
Jennifer Herrold has a family history of twins. However, after her first set—identical boys—she never imagined she'd have another. "We figured, 'what are the chances?'" says Herrold, of Georgia, whose twins were all conceived without the use of assisted reproduction.
When Herrold became pregnant again, she requested an ultrasound at eight weeks gestation. "I just wanted to confirm it was a singleton pregnancy and not a multiple pregnancy," says Herrold. She had noticed she was larger than expected, but told herself it was due to having been pregnant once before. "As we got our first look at the monitor, my husband was just laughing and I repeatedly uttered a superlative!" says Herrold. "We just could not believe it. I was in shock."

(UPDATED) NYPD top brass working on Beyonce tickets for gun buyback
UPDATE: According to Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly is not opposed to the Guns for Greatness program.
"Commissioner Kelly… is working with the organizers to make it happen," Browne said.
Metro's original story is below.
Hip-hop music executive Michael "Blue" Williams has pitched the NYPD a different kind of gun buyback program: "Guns for Greatness" — and "Greatness" is Beyoncé and Jay-Z concert tickets.
Williams' proposal suggests that people turning in illegal firearms receive tickets to some of this summer's most anticipated shows.
Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne confirmed that NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly is considering the proposal. Ed Mullins, a sergeant in the detective squad at the 67th precinct, is hoping Kelly approves the program.
"Any program that gets people to turn in illegal handguns is a good program," Mullins said. "What's especially good about this program is people look up to celebrities, and we're now bringing them in to help send the message to get firearms off the street."
Browne did not elaborate on what Kelly's hesitations might be, and Mullins couldn't think of any problems with the program himself.
"I don't see a downside," Mullins said. "We've done these programs before and they've been very successful."
Typically, the NYPD offers cash vouchers in their buyback programs. Mullins said the funding comes from a variety of sources, including outside sponsors or organizations and individuals within the community.

Institutions and the resource curse
AbstractCountries rich in natural resources constitute both growth losers and growth winners. We claim that the main reason for these diverging experiences is differences in the quality of institutions. More natural resources push aggregate income down, when institutions are grabber friendly, while more resources raise income, when institutions are producer friendly. We test this theory building on Sachs and Warner's influential works on the resource curse. Our main hypothesis: that institutions are decisive for the resource curse, is confirmed. Our results are in sharp contrast to the claim by Sachs and Warner that institutions do not play a role.

Fund managers are worried about the rich-poor gap
Big investors are concerned that US inequality may hurt the economy's ability to expand.
Over the years, the only way inequality has really mattered to investors has been as a factor when considering stocks. If the rich are getting richer, companies that cater to them have better prospects.
Goldman Sachs (GS), for example, recently conducted a survey that showed optimism among high-income consumers relative to low-income ones at a high and pointed investors toward companies like department-store operator Nordstrom (JWN) and luxury-bag maker Tumi Holdings (TUMI).
Lately, though, some big investors have worried increasing income and wealth gaps threaten the economy's ability to expand. They also fret that public anger over it, which Democrat Bill de Blasio tapped in his successful run for New York City mayor, is creating dangerous political tensions.
Bill Gross, manager of the world's largest bond fund by assets at Pimco, in a recent note said he believed increases in inequality had made the U.S. less productive.
"Developed economies work best when inequality of incomes are at a minimum," he wrote. Several fund managers at a Heard on the Street conference last month also voiced concerns, among them Kynikos Associates founder James Chanos, who worried people have less incentive to participate in the economy if they have concluded "the game isn't fair."
When inequality increases as a result of, say, corruption, it clearly causes economic harm. But for the U.S., where much of the increase in inequality results from market mechanisms like changing pay patterns for skilled workers and rising global competition for lower-skilled jobs, its effects are more ambiguous.
Recent work by economists Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez and Stefanie Stantcheva comparing the performance of advanced economies since the 1960s suggests increases in the share of income the top 1% of the population receives relative to the bottom 99% are at most only slightly negative for growth.
What that analysis can't tell is what high levels of inequality like today's might mean. Tax-receipt data collected by Messrs. Piketty and Saez show the top 1% captured 19.3% of U.S. income in 2012. The only year in the past century when their share was bigger was 1928, at 19.6%.
Worse, this is occurring as average incomes have stagnated. Inflation-adjusted, median U.S. family income fell 6% in 2012 from 2002, according to the Commerce Department.
Meanwhile, net worth for the median family in the top 10% by wealth was a record 24 times more in 2010 than for the median family overall, according to the Federal Reserve.
Former Morgan Stanley equity strategist Gerard Minack notes the U.S. Gini index, a gauge of income disparities that is also at a record, tracks with measures of political polarization. So he worries inequality could give rise to more political dysfunction that risks damaging the economy.
Another concern is that rising inequality creates financial instability. Raghuram Rajan, the economist now heading India's central bank, has posited that the credit bubble in the early part of the last decade was a consequence of inequality. In his telling, stagnating incomes led middle- and lower-income families to borrow excessively to raise standards of living.
But if inequality has risen to a point in which investors need to be worried, any reversal might also hurt.
One reason U.S. corporate profit margins are at records is the share of revenue going to wages is so low. Another is companies are paying a smaller share of profits on taxes. An economy where income and wealth disparities are smaller might be healthier. It would also leave less money flowing to the bottom line, something that will grab fund managers' attention.
Oh what to do.....hmmmm....OH I Know! More tax cuts for the Rich to
stimulate spending....Yes, thats it....and Defund the govt down to the
molecular level so it does not interfere in the "free markets"...oh,
and regulate vaginas and gay people. Yes, that's it in a nutshell.
Lets not forget....instigate more wars !!
Responsible Republican.
First, as a worker with an advanced degree working in a technical and very profitable industry (oil and gas) I am not seeing the income that would cause this gap. I, and my co-workers (and because I have been working in the field for a long time, I know a LOT of people) are reasonably comfortable, but bills and the cost of living are killing us. We often talk about feeling like we are on a treadmill that is speeding up, but we are barely getting by.
Second, there is a huge service industry that cannot be outsourced, but the pay is very low. Certainly these are low skill jobs, but the driver is not global competition, it is that NO-ONE values service. Purchasers (which is mostly the general public) will not pay for service, and employers are forced to keep prices low to stay in business. Well, yes, employers are also greedy, but their business WILL go somewhere else if costs rise.
So the problems are not quite so easily categorized. Winners were generally people who knew people, or who were in the right place at the right time. Not a very compelling argument for go to school, get a STEM degree, get a good job, make a lot of money. It's just not happening. Nice try though.

The games are so intriguing and so well put together and the sound, just fantastic.
Its no wonder being sent to your room doesnt hold as much meaning as it once did. Not just televisions in every room but computers, phones, the internet. So what? Youre in your room. Just so happens this is where you conduct your business, so you can stay in here all day. Sometimes you do.
Not hard to waste a day away playing games or keeping in touch with all your friends on Facebook or any other social network. You start looking into anything that comes into your mind; it is just a great day in age for communication and information being at your fingertips.
Ive done it myself. Played a few games, chatted on some of my chat channels. Looked up some interesting facts about golf and the history of the game then moved into golf clubs then shoes. Then started dreaming, the PGA Tour. Hours go by or even the whole day. You can still do more.
A great sport to get you outside and in the sunshine is golf; it gives you most everything you need in a sport and outdoor activity. The golf courses and the golf ranges fill as soon as the first nice day gets here, outside in the sunshine.
Did you know that a lack of sunshine, Vitamin D, could lead to heart disease and some cancers? The main reason people dont get enough sunshine is that they dont get outdoors enough. You need to get outside, it is good for your health and it makes you feel good.
Golf does just that. 9 holes or 18, they both will get you outside for a good few hours in the good old sunshine. Making your first par is something, at least it was for me. Trust me I never made many.
Wait, you will need a full day or a good part of it to get in a good game of golf, all done outside. Not having clubs holds no real excuse as you can rent them at most or any decent golf club. Too easy to make excuses why you cannot do something it is much more fun just to do it.
Ask your Dad, Mother, Uncle or someone close to you and I bet at least one of them play golf and are more than willing to take you out. Spending more time with family or and friends and actually be with them.
Let us start at the beginning and look at a day of golf with your golf buddy. Like any great day outside you, have some planning to do. Checking the weather station is a good indicator on how and what you will need to bring with you. Having rain gear even on sunny days comes in handy; as it is the same with rainy days, make sure you bring the sunscreen.
Any one that spends time out doors will tell you the weather can change very fast and it is nice to be prepared if you can. A canteen maybe some snacks to take on the course something small just enough to chase the belly growl away.
I know when I go golfing I like to start with a nice breakfast close enough to the golf course so youre still full but not to full; it is going to get physical.
Doing anything for the first time is somewhat strange, but at one time you never used the internet; now look at you. Your golf buddy will show you what to do and a quick lesson on how to swing your club and how to hold it. Dont forget the glove. Did your golf buddy bring you one? Ask before you leave.
The main part in that message was having fun. Who knows, you may like golf. Millions of people of all ages love the game; you may even be good at it. Now that would be a career move. Did you know that Tiger Woods has made over 95 million dollars in his career. It looks like that will get even higher if Tiger wins the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March.
Its not really about the golf. Well ok it is but it is so much more. You got outside and enjoyed a great day with your golf buddy. You learned something, shared some laughs. Had some good food and maybe even a nice comfortable car ride to the golf course.
You got some well needed exercise that is for sure those clubs are not going to carry themselves, and that course has some yardage to it. Maybe you're not Arnold Palmer and you really did not enjoy the game all that much, but wasnt it fun being with family and friends having fun sharing in real time and not on a computer? You will sleep as if you have never slept before. I promise at the end of the day you will feel like lying down, another good affect of the sun, helps you sleep.
You can enjoy that all the time and if golf is not your sport or outdoor activity, so whatt? There are tons of things to do in the outdoors? The best part is you have fun meet real people and get healthy all at the same time. Get out and hit a couple a balls down the fairway, and dream of being in the PGA.

Hi - I dont have answers to your questions, but I too am a licensed social worker (LMSW) in NYC and was also considering going back to school for OT. Have you been able to find out any info? I don't know when you posted this so I am not sure how recent this is. Where did you find out what prereqs you would need?
socialworkgal in Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania

Hi Daniella:
I posted this a few months ago and unfortunately did not receive any feedback. I however did A LOT of research on some colleges close to my area. I am about 45 mins outside of Philly. The prereqs are listed on most of the college websites. Part of my dilemma is I work full time and am unable to quit my job and go to school full time. I'm self supporting so I need an OT program that offers weeknights or weekends. I checked into Thomas Jefferson, University of Penn and Temple University. All 3 of them only offered day time programs : ( However, I found Misercordia University in Dallas, PA has a weekend MOT program that is part time for 3 years. It is every other Sat & Sun from 8-5p.m. I have family only 1 hr away so it is somewhat convenient for me.
Misercordia's prereqs are Abnormal Psych, Statistics, Physics, A&P 1 and 2. I am enrolled to take Abnormal Psych this summer online at Community College and scheduled two science classes for this fall. I really struggled with whether I should start the classes or not. I figured if I wanted to start OT school in Fall 2014 I needed to get started ASAP! Most of the schools had similiar prereqs.
Plus, I am about 2 months into receiving supervision towards earning my clinical license in Social Work. So, I figured that I would hopefully have that out of the way by 2015 and would be able to earn some money on the side by doing private therapy.
Good luck and I'm here to chat if you want to throw out a few ideas!
Daniella in New York, New York

Thanks for replying! I too work full-time, and would need a weekend or night program. Wow! Congrats on getting your clinical license! I live in NYC and there aren't THAT many programs. I e-mailed Touro College and am looking into SUNY Downstate which is in Brooklyn. Columbia and NYU are probably great schools but I am sure they are very expensive. I went to NYU for my MSW. I took some sciences but not within the 10 yr time frame that I saw on one school website. This whole process is daunting and intimidating - I need my hand held! LOL

Your welcome and thank you! Yes, the supervision has been wonderful so far but I think I will need to slow it down since I have class 3 evenings a week in the fall. It is VERY intimidating. Getting my MSW was just something that I didn't put much thought into. I just figured I needed it to make more money and I did it. Plus, having a BSW really prepared me for the courses. OT is much more medical and the science Physics and A&P class has me a bit nervous. I just wish someone would be able to tell me what the classes were like. I wonder if there are a lot of papers, tests presentations...labs. I have no clue!
I took statistics in 2004 so I will just make the cutoff! I have a minor in Psych but never took Abnormal....no clue why! Prereqs are a pain, but at least it will be fresh in my mind and help me get back into school mode.
Some schools require you to do 40 hours of shadowing an OT prior to applying to their program. Misercordia only requires 6 or 8 hours which is fantastic and they do not make you take your GREs! woohoo! I saw on their website that they had a 100% pass rate last year for OT license exams. As of right now their are no OT programs that are strictly online. Some schools do part of it online others don't do any. Misercordia will require about a 6 month ful time practicum my last year. I will then have to quit my job and figure out how I am going to survive. Good thing I have a few years to figure it out! LOL When are you looking to start?
Daniella in New York, New York
16 months ago
I would like to start as soon as possible - but I def have pre -reqs to take. I think the 10 yr limit is only on science courses not psych courses or statistics if I am not mistaken? Obviously schools are different but I thought I saw that. I did not get my BSW, I went into a Masters Program after college and got my MSW and am licensed as such.
I feel like this will take forever if I do it, so I really need to make sure I want to!! Most of the OTs I know graduated years ago so they arent much help lol
socialworkgal in Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania
16 months ago
I feel like it will take forever too. I'm 30 and when I graduate I would be 34..which is still young but 4 years seems like a long time! I just figure the longer I wait the longer it will take. I questioned going back to school for something different for over a year. I just couldn't figure out what it was though. Then I cam across OT. Seems very similiar to social work but with a medical component and much better pay! I want to make sure this is something I want to do too because my students loans are going to double.
I figured taking the prereqs will not break the bank. I might find a different social work job in the mean time and be happy. If that job doesn't happen then at least I have the prereqs out of the way and can apply to OT school. I think once we get started it will fly by. I can't believe I graduated with my MSW in 2008....5 yrs already! So, I'm hoping OT school goes that fast too!

Hi, I'm def. concidering entering into the ota program summer 2014. I just have to take the biology/chemistry class and the anat./phsy. class and I'm good. I will be going to Durham Tech. which is a two yr. program. I am 48 now and have worked for the postal service for 13 yrs. My questions are does anyone know about working for a travel company and how much they pay? I'm single so I would love to do that. Also, how much will I make starting out? Thanks for any help and advice.
rachel in Long Beach, California

I am actually considering a career change into either social work, doing MSW (clinical focus, to become LCSW) or OT (working one-on-one, possibly home health or geriatric).
Those of you who quit social work - can I ask why? I really love psych, I'm super analytical but I'm not as hands-on and I'm not sure how well I'll do in medical aspects of OT (e.g. anatomy, physiology, neuro, etc.). I feel like my heart is in psych/social work but OT pays double and jobs are plenty! oh well. I would LOVE to hear from you guys' opinion...
OTstudenttobe in Somerset, New Jersey

Hi socialworkgal I wanted to reach out to you because I feel like our situations are semi-similar. I am trying to get into a part-time Masters Program for OT. I too have about 32k already in student loans although mine are from undergrad. I am mostly interested in part-time programs that are on weekends mainly because I need to work full-time while I'm in school. I can't fathom taking out the cost of tuition AND cost of living for 2 whole years, that is like 35k each year for me for just cost of living. That is definitely not possible. I cannot live on less than that considering I have only myself to depend on, I am not married, and my parents - well, they don't exactly have ANYTHING to spare, otherwise they would. I think we are both looking into the same school in Pennsylvania. It isn't THAT close to me but it is a doable drive considering the cost in comparison to the other part-time schools. Have you applied yet?? I am currently taking pre-reqs at my community college and hoping to apply in September so it would be for prospective entry for Fall 2015 (whoah that sounds far away). If so I would like to know how the process went...the interview, etc.

Commanding a View of Lake Erie in South Bass Island, Ohio
South Bass Island, reachable in twenty minutes by ferry from Catawba Point in Northeastern Ohio, is rich in naval history. Towering 352 feet above the two-by-four-mile island, Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial is the world's largest Doric column and offers a spectacular bird's eye view of the lake from the top. The memorial commemorates Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Erie—the same battle that made famous his saying, "We have met the enemy and they are ours." Commodore Perry's inferior fleet defeated the British and gave the Americans control of Lake Erie, which ultimately led to the defeat of the British during the largely forgotten War of 1812. The memorial also celebrates the lasting peace between the USA and Canada.

What's with the Korean churches and Brutalist architecture? Or perhaps I'm falsely generalizing from two data points: this one, and the one you see from the Amtrak train before you go into the tunnel under the East River.
Sad about this one: it's right next to a tiny orphan row house, inhabited by a very old man who was picking trash out of his yard with the tip of his cane.

A former local government official get sentenced Wednesday morning for corruption, and we're hearing from him in his own words.
Mark Lime will go before Judge Kathleen Sutula. Lime worked as the head of the criminal division for the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts, and he plead guilty to pocketing court money little by little.
He kept money paid by bondsman, and he ultimately agreed to pay back well over $8,000.
In a letter to the judge just filed with the court, Lime wrote, "I am writing to explain...and to apologize. I can't explain to you why only that the money I took added up over time. I had no idea how much it actually amounted to."
"When I worked on Saturdays, the bondsman would just leave the fee...I began in small increments to keep the fee. On occasion I kept the bond judgment payment without generating a receipt."
Lime ended by writing, "I broke the law and the trust placed in me by the public. I am very sorry...I...ask for a second chance."
This comes as a new 45 page audit exposes past mismanagement in the clerk's office. The audit covers 2011-2012.
Andrea Rocco took over in January of this year as the new head of the Cuyahoga County Clerk's Office. She has already been making sweeping changes.
We have the full audit posted here.
Stay tuned to 19 Action News for the latest on the sentencing.

Earlier today in a conversation on the #bitcoin-otc IRC channel the operator of the exchange (IRC Nick: MagicalTux) shared some interesting information.
T: Is there a way to see how much money has gone into MtGox?
MagicalTux: you may know how much went this year in may 2012, when we publish our company accountings
T: Some stuff I've been thinking about: One way to gauge spikes in interest before they show up on markets is the count of users here, and the ratio of prices between BitCoinMarket and MtGox…
MagicalTux: you could use the count of users on mtgox (went over 30k recently)
Accounts at the exchange are used not only by traders but also by miners who use the exchange as their preferred method for "cashing out" their mining proceeds and by merchants who've sold goods and services for bitcoins.
Once bitcoins are traded for USDs on the exchange there are several methods for withdrawing funds including one of the least expensive methods — to withdraw to Dwolla which incurs only a fixed fee of $0.25 per-transaction.
Additionally, frequent traders may be thrilled to learn that the exchange might be providing a subscription option at some point in the future. Currently, the exchange charges a 0.65% fee to both sides of each trade however at some point ("soonish") the exchange plans to offer a fixed per-month fee:
C: MagicalTux: @_@ thinking of a per month $ deal instead of 0.65 per tx for the "day" traders?
MagicalTux: C: will be available soonish
Yet one more revelation occurred during this online conversion as well:
MagicalTux: for now we are working on debit card payouts (issuing debit cards with the bitcoin logo on it)
***C rubs hands togetther
MagicalTux: can't promise anything yet, but we are in talks with various card issuers
These innovations would likely follow the release of a major update to the exchange's backend software that supports the service. Previously, information about what is planned at the exchange was shared and included mention that the exchange would be offering trading options and margin trading in the coming months.
Daily volume at the exchange has been rising quickly and record levels, in dollar terms, seem to last only a few days before an even higher level is reached. Though Mt. Gox is the leading exchange, other exchanges have seen increasing volume as well, including bitomat.pl whose volume growth rate far exceeds that of Mt. Gox even.
It is starting to look like this global decentralized digital currency project called Bitcoin is moving from being an interesting little technological experiment to becoming a growing financial innovation. This is innovation that not only has no need for the incumbent financial institutions but instead gives them a run for their money (pun intentional).
GoWest (@GoWestBTC), blogging on TheBitcoinTrader.com, shows some metrics describing where Bitcoin shined in 2012. Excerpts:
"The current market cap is actually at a peak for 2012, exceeding the spike in August. This can be attributed to the fact that tens of thousands of Bitcoins have been introduced into the economy since August."
"These have shown steady growth over the past year: The number of items listed at Bitmit (an auction site that operates in Bitcoin), the number of users at Ogrr (an MMORPG marketplace), and the number of views of the 'What is Bitcoin' YouTube video."
"Bitcoin's top poker site, SealswithClubs, is gaining new users on a daily basis, with attendance at the tables on the rise."
"The Bitcoin discussion on the TwoPlusTwo forums, the most popular poker discussion forum on the 'net, has 3,000 posts and 165,000 views!"
"All-in-all, a very impressive year for Bitcoin. Here's to an even stronger performance in 2013!"

Adult Fiction KINGSOL
Summary: Clear-eyed and spirited, Taylor Greer grew up poor in rural Kentucky with the goals of avoiding pregnancy and getting away. But when she heads west with high hopes and a barely functional car, she meets the human condition head-on. By the time Taylor arrives in Tucson, Arizona, she has acquired a completely unexpected child, a three-year-old American Indian girl named Turtle, and must somehow come to terms with both motherhood and the necessity for putting down roots. Hers is a story about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places. Available for the first time in mass-market, this edition of Barbara Kingsolver's bestselling novel, The Bean Trees, will be in stores everywhere in September. With two different but equally handsome covers, this book is a fine addition to your Kingsolver library.

If you insist in using the old traditional stand up tip-ups, choose one that is made of durable plastic. They will run free and cost you less fish-less flags but know that they are not a lifetime rig like the Jack Trap and will need replacement parts or total replacement with heavy use, while those old wooden traps have often be passed down over generations and with a little tinkering are still good for some panfish, pickerel and pike.
Speaking of pike, which are becoming a very important ice fishing species, are not that fussy when it comes to tension on the line but are known to run out a lot of line and just sit there and munch or swallow on the bait. The lay/down Polar-types of tip-ups work well for pike as they will hold a lot of line, store easier and are quite durable but if you have a set of the older, wooden sand-up tip-ups, pike fishing is a good chance to put them into action.
One suggestion would be to spool-off any old cotton or other woven line and re-spool with one of the super braids such as Fireline. These lines don't absorb much water and usually will not freeze hard to your tip-up spool when exposed to the cold air. They are much smaller in diameter, don't stretch and you'll have direct contact to the fish, knowing when to strike or let the fish run.
Pike fishing and even when big pickerel are abundant, small sizes of mono line will cause you a lot of heart-aches. There will be too many instant cut-offs. Wire leaders will definitely not cut but will cut down the amount of takes you'll get from these predatory but not dumb fish. More and more pike anglers are going to fluorocarbon leaders in the 30 pound range. They are a lot tougher and not as easily seen by fish as mono and don't have the soft finish. But you are bound to lose an occasional pike from leader cut. That's the chance you take.
Serious crappie fishermen don't set may tip-ups but do love to use light jigging rods and light leaders and line. Same goes for bluegills, but they are not quite as light hitters as crappie.
White perch and bluegill anglers will almost always fish close to the bottom as both of these species are bottom feeders while crappie love to suspend off bottom where schools of baitfish are apt to be staging. But when that bite slows down it's a good chance the crappies have dropped down and then a small jig fished just off bottom with a mealworm or spike will bring a tug on your line. The use of the new small tungsten jig heads is becoming more and more popular with a lot of ice anglers using these tipped with some kind of worm bait having good luck. This is an especially good technique when live small baitfish are hard to come by.
Yellow perch are travelers and have made the use of electronic fishing very popular for both perch and other panfish, including crappy. Schools of yellow perch will be on the move and usually stay in the school. They are more adaptable as far as the depth you'll find them, from near bottom to just a few feet under the ice so setting tip-ups, if that's your game, you should stagger depths until you find the right depth where most of your hits come. But for many yellow perch anglers, jigging is the way to go and we know of others that combine the tip-ups with jigging. When they get a perch on a tip up they'll drop a jig rod down the same hole and jig there until the bite stops.
From the most devout and scientific to the old fashioned and traditional, ice fishing in New England is challenging the amount of open-water angling and has fisheries division's attention as more waters are being managed for the ice-people. It's a great family outing.

The community thinks...
"The Sleeper" by Stephan on 04/13/2012. Trim: 2012 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 Touring 5-Door, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: 24k for the amount of torque and power you get is GREAT, best bang for your buck! I personally bought because it gives you the practicality of a 4door hatch and the sporty feel because I'm not too old to let my young self go even if my body tells me otherwise.
Cons: The big smile grill is a bit of an "eye sore", but if you can get past that then you should be fine. I've had it for 3 months and it has grown on me, personally. The torque steer isn't as bad as people are saying, the one thing I don't like is the suspension.......it's definitely sporty and commuting on roads in the northern Virginia/DC area is not much fun, you will feel every pot hole, bump, and crack!
Overall review: If 24k is in your ball park and you want a 2.3 Turbo, great handling, but pratical car then look no further.......this Mazdaspeed 3 is for you!!!
