Physical Master Plan aims to restore old-fashioned sense of community
In his 1845 painting titled "Carr's Hill," artist George Cooke captured both the affection Athenians have for the University and the varied topography that makes campus so beautiful. A century and a half later, UGA has developed a new Physical Master Plan that establishes a consistent style of architecture and recommends that asphalt parking lots be replaced by beautiful new academic buildings and grassy quadrangles. Goal: to create a village atmosphere that enhances the feeling of community. See story on this page.

Voices of Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Steelworkers
2014 Sara A. Whaley Prize, National Women's Studies Association
Even as substantial legal and social victories are being celebrated within the gay rights movement, much of working-class America still exists outside the current narratives of gay liberation. In Steel Closets, Anne Balay draws on oral history interviews with forty gay, lesbian, and transgender steelworkers, mostly living in northwestern Indiana, to give voice to this previously silent and invisible population. She presents powerful stories of the intersections of work, class, gender, and sexual identity in the dangerous industrial setting of the steel mill. The voices and stories captured by Balay--by turns alarming, heroic, funny, and devastating--challenge contemporary understandings of what it means to be queer and shed light on the incredible homophobia and violence faced by many: nearly all of Balay's narrators remain closeted at work, and many have experienced harassment, violence, or rape.
Through the powerful voices of queer steelworkers themselves, Steel Closets provides rich insight into an understudied part of the LGBT population, contributing to a growing body of scholarship that aims to reveal and analyze a broader range of gay life in America.
"Their stories challenge our convenient stereotypes of what it means to be queer and how that has changed through time."
--Chicago Sun Times
"[A] well-wrought contribution to LGBT studies."
--Library Journal
"An eye-opening read; you won't forget these interviews."
"This book is a great pleasure to read. It stands at the forefront of labor studies and queer studies. More important, it chronicles the amazing stories and reveals the hidden worlds of gay steelworkers."
--Steve Estes, author of Ask and Tell: Gay and Lesbian Veterans Speak Out
"A fascinating and insightful look into the lives of queer steel mill workers. . . . Covering a multi-generational and cross-gender segment of this workforce, this book contributes to the ever-growing body of scholarship on working-class queers who exist outside the metropole but whose life histories are nonetheless a critical (but often missing) part of the queer historical archive."
--E. Patrick Johnson, author of Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South
"Too much of current popular culture and academic literature either omits any mention of working class queers, or dismisses them with stereotypes. Balay gets right down to work, letting LGBT steelworkers speak for themselves and bringing to their voices her own coherent, readable perspective."

Ticket #9915 (new defect)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException in sugar-install-bundle
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Future Release
|not assigned
|1.0 Software Build 802
|Action Needed:
|Deployments affected:
|Blocked By:
I'm running build 802 (release 8.2.1) on my XO-1. The G1G1 activities have been updated via Software Update, and the Micropolis activity has been installed from a memory stick using the sugar-install-bundle command from within the Terminal activity. However, when I try to install either the StarChart activity or the x2o activity from the same memory stick using sugar-install-bundle, I consistently receive the following error message:
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on org.laptop.ActivityRegistry:/org/laptop/ActivityRegistry: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/sugar-install-bundle", line 18, in <module> bundle.install() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar/bundle/activitybundle.py", line 357, in install act = activity.get_registry().get_activity(self._bundle_id) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar/activity/registry.py", line 127, in get_activity info_dict = self._registry.GetActivity(service_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 68, in __call__ return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 630, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
The only difference that I'm aware of between successfully installing the Micropolis activity and unsuccessfully trying to install the StarChart and x2o activities, was that Micropolis was installed before the XO-1's networking was set up, while the attempts to install StarChart and x2o happened after the networking was set up. (My daughter's XO-1 has the same setup as mine; all three activities were successfully installed on hers from the same memory stick before its networking was set up.)
A search of the existing tickets showed the same exception being noted in #6248 and #7811, although neither of those seemed to be connected to the Activity Registry.
If I can provide any other information that would help solve this problem, please let me know. (I'm quite comfortable working within a shell, given my UNIX programming background. I haven't used Python, though.)
Thanks for your help!

News release from the OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
ATLANTA – Governor Sonny Perdue announced 31 high schools throughout the state have been awarded Georgia Work Ready training grants that provide three-year access to the initiative's skills gap training software, which help students improve their Work Ready Certificate levels.
The funding was made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and will provide each school $5,000 of software.
"A Work Ready Certificate shows an individual has the core job skills needed for success today and in the future," said Governor Perdue. "The Work Ready skills gap training software can help students improve their performance not only on the Work Ready assessment, but also on the graduation test, assist in improving our high school graduation rates and provide students with a better understanding of the skills employers look for in a successful employee."
Georgia's Work Ready initiative is based on a skills assessment and certification for job seekers and a job profiling system for businesses. By identifying both the needs of business and the available skills of Georgia's workforce, the state can more effectively generate the right talent for the right jobs.
Each school has agreed to provide the Work Ready assessment to at least 50 percent of its senior class each year for three years and will incorporate the training tools in its curriculum to ensure all interested students at all grade levels have the opportunity access it.
The schools awarded the Work Ready training grants include:

My partner and I chose The White House as our wedding venue in Jan 2013, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with everything they did for us to make our day so memorable and fun! The food was delicious (so many compliments from our guests), the staff were exceptionally attentive and helpful, the garden was beautifully arranged, and there was so much generosity of time and enthusiasm to make our day special... the White House team excelled in every way. Nothing was too much to ask, and even though some staff had been working several hours before our wedding, they were still going until the small hours of the night to ensure we had a brilliant day. To Sophie and Sid (wonderfully warm and creative owners), Annabel (attentive and supportive functions coordinator) and Chris (superstar chef), and the rest of the White House team, we love you to bits and thank you from the bottom of our hearts! xx kara and paul

While few shoppers know Heartland by name, Wall Street remembers the company as the target of the largest payment system hacking attack to date. Over 130 million credit card numbers fell into the hands of identity thieves after Heartland's firewall was breached in 2008. Security experts noted that Heartland's manual process for resetting encryption details gave criminals a window through which they could eavesdrop on transactions.
The new system eliminates that weakness, while pushing merchants to the forefront of financial data security. However, the E3 upgrade comes at a price. Heartland's client companies must foot the bill for most of the new hardware required to operate the new platform. Heartland CEO Bob Carr told USA Today that the upfront investment would pay off by reducing labor costs associated with manually updating security settings.

Canaan Valley Tube Park Grand Opening
Canaan Valley Tube Park Grand Opening January 11, 2013
"It's time to officially celebrate the opening of the longest snow tubing run in the East," said Park Superintendent Rob Gilligan. A grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. January 11, 2013, and the event is open to the public. The tube park opens for business January 11 at 9 a.m.
New ski area improvements at Canaan Valley include multiple projects – from improved snow-making capabilities on the existing ski slopes to providing a more efficient and enjoyable experience in the ski resort buildings.
"The ski area improvements and the additional facilities of the tube park and beginners downhill ski area create a broader outdoor recreation experience for state park visitors. It also helps extend tourism interests to Blackwater Falls State Park, Tucker County and surrounding areas," Gilligan said.
The new Canaan Valley Tube Park has space for up to 16 lanes with a down slope of 1,200 feet, a new ski school and beginners slope, the Critters Crawl, and major building renovations. The tube park features a 1,000 square-foot warming station with restrooms, a fireplace, lounges, viewing area and an outside plaza with a fire ring. Boardwalk conveyors (known as a Magic Carpet), at the tube park and beginners slope make getting back to the top of the hill an easy ride. Additional infrastructure work, snow making equipment and structural work are part of the overall ski area improvement project.
Downhill skiers of all levels will find 42 slopes at the Bear Paw ski lodge – complete with a vertical drop of 850 feet. Snowboarding and airboarding are also part of the downhill fun. Canaan has an ice skating rink that is open Monday -Thursday from noon until 8 p.m. with extended hours on weekends. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing features a 30 km groomed trail and is open from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Equipment rentals for all activities are available.
Horse-drawn sleigh rides are also new to Canaan Valley Resort in 2013. Rides can accommodate 5-8 individuals. The sleigh ride experience is operated by Mountain Trail Rides. The sleigh runs are on natural snow and dependent upon weather. Sleigh rides also begin January 11 with ticket sales also available from the tube park station.
There is ample free parking at both the tube park and the downhill ski area that features Bear Paw Lodge, Quenchers, and the ski shop. A Magic Carpet, a boardwalk-style conveyor is located at both recreational areas.
The Canaan Valley Tube Park and the downhill ski area operating hours are Sunday through Thursday from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. Hours for Presidents Day and Martin Luther King weekend holidays are extended.
For more information about the grand opening of the tube park on January 11, contact Canaan Valley Resort at 304-866-4121, Lisa Ratliff at extension 92680, or email email@example.com. To learn more about accommodations, dining, group booking options, lift tickets and facilities hours, and visitor services, visit www.canaanresort.com. Canaan Valley is a four-season destination.

IntelloShip enables real-time BI and includes data virtualization, data federation, enterprise information integration (EII), enterprise application integration (EAI) and service-oriented architectures (SOA). Complex processing tools are being used to analyze data streams in real time and either trigger automated actions or alert workers to patterns and trends.
IntelloShip can help support instant decision-making, which is necessary to stay competitive Your company's employees and representatives need to have the same up-to-the-minute data regarding performance levels.
A real-time approach isn't required for every part of a company's business, however most BI users can meet their business goals by looking at daily, weekly or monthly business performance numbers and long-term trends such as year-over-year comparisons. Similarly, finance groups aren't likely to require real-time data to analyze financial metrics or compare actual budgets to forecasts.

Many people believe that Alzheimer's disease (AD) can't be treated. The truth is that medications are available that may help slow the progression of symptoms. Although these drugs don't work for everyone, they offer some hope for the more than 5 million people who have AD.
The FDA has approved five medications to treat Alzheimer's disease. All the drugs may help temporarily prevent some AD symptoms, such as confusion and forgetfulness, from getting worse.
In addition to memory loss and confusion, AD can cause worsening speech and mood swings. In the later stages, the disease destroys a person's personality and ability to think and function. In some people, AD worsens quickly. In others, it progresses slowly.
Just as the course of AD isn't clear, neither is treatment. Existing drugs may slow the progression of AD in some people. The drugs are most effective when a person begins taking them as early as possible. It takes two to six weeks before any results appear.
These three drugs are used to treat AD in its early to middle stages:
Galantamine (Razadyne)
Rivastigmine (Exelon)
Tacrine (Cognex)
A medication that can be used for all stages is called Donepezil (Aricept). Another drug, memantine (Namenda), is the only drug approved by the FDA for the later, more severe stages of AD. It can be taken alone or with another drug.
Certain side effects may prevent people from using medication for AD. For example, tacrine may cause liver damage. Donepezil, galantamine, and rivastigmine can cause nausea and vomiting. Memantine may cause dizziness and headache.
The appropriate use of AD medications may improve both the patient's quality of life and that of his or her caregivers as well. Ask your doctor for more information.

Rep. Tim Bishop took part in a Blood Pressure Screening at Mather Hospital to mark American Heart Month and to stress the importance of keeping blood pressure under control in order to reduce the risk heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.
The hospital also gave Bishop a tour of the state-of-the-art 320-slice CT scanner now being used to detect heart disease. In 2012, Mather became the first community hospital on Long Island to use advanced scanning technology for computed tomography angiography, or cardiac CTA, which uses non-invasive digital imaging to diagnose coronary artery blockage.
Mather's 320-slice CT scanner creates 3-D images of the whole heart in significantly less time than other scanners and with much less radiation. Mather acquired the CT scanner in 2011 with funding that was secured by Bishop, a grant from the John T. Mather Memorial Hospital Perpetual Trust and a donation from the Hospital Auxiliary.

TEAMS: New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers
Normally, the Yankees have a policy about not discussing contract extensions with players prior to or during a season. However, that policy may be changing for all-star second baseman Robinson Cano. Yanks owner Hal Steinbrenner came out on friday and said that "there's been a conversation or two" with Cano, who will be a free agent after the season. Steinbrenner went on to say that Cano has been a great Yankee, and that it's his hope that the 30-year-old plays his whole career in pinstripes. Signing Cano won't be cheap, however. He switched his agent to Scott Boras, hoping to get the most out of what will be a huge contract. Clearly the best player on the team, Cano would most likely want A-Rod type money. The fact that the Yankees are going against team policy on contract extensions shows how bad they want Cano to stay a Yankee for life. With Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera nearing the end of their careers, Cano would be the next homegrown player to be the face of the franchise for years to come. Couple that with the fact that the Los Angeles Dodgers have new found money and could potentially offer Cano a contract he couldn't refuse, the Yankees would like to lock him up before he can test the market. Don't be surprised now if Cano begins the season with a wealthy contract, or agrees to one at some point during the 2013 season. In 2012, Cano hit .313 with a career high 33 homers and knocked in 94 RBIs before completely disappearing in the playoffs. Look for Cano to have a monster season in a contract year.

In today's world of free data exchange, it is an interesting thought to be addressed on whether network security really hold the importance as it used to be a few years earlier? But this is of great priority for corporate management and top level management to have a better understanding of the real need for professionally-managed network security.
Every business requires that confidential data is shared across authorized and authenticated users for smooth operations. Many IT companies are working to ensure that your business if benefitted from the right level of network security ensuring the best defense for protecting your data from illegal access.
Network security providers ensure that proper verification of users accessing the system is performed prior to all transactions between users and business. Users can be authenticated through specialized strategies like two-factor authentication, role-based access, and on-demand access through secure network gateways. Two-factor authentication, for example, is a secure strategy that many IT companies recommend because it requires the user to key in a dynamic, unique password from a digital device. Because the digital device refreshes every several seconds, it ensure secure password protection. Some IT companies who offer data protection services also work to prevent and address activity on the network that could compromise the organization's compliance and governance framework. Network service audit scans are vital in identifying the vulnerable ports of attack on the network. Through these services all viable points of intrusion can be shut down immediately on detection.
• Centralized point of control – enables to have a centralized line of control for the entire network • Access control mechanisms – authentication and user activity tracking are enabled for better audits. • Easy-to-use and secure – provides a great technical infrastructure to understand the users needs and transactions
It is vital to have the right network security controls and policies implemented for every business model. They become the tools to identify and address issues within the network, safeguarding data and sensitive information, and ensuring that your business it compliant. In sn short, network security ensures the right protection by the right professionals in order to provide you and your business with peace of mind.

I am preparing these for a holiday meal, so I tasted tested first. I love grilled asparagus, so I made the recipe two ways, the first as it is written, the second with roasted asparagus and red pepper. The roasted is the way to go! We also added garlic to the marinade. My friend also suggested using both green and white asparagus for color. Easy and delicious.

ARG/US Awards First Broker Certification
Aviation Research Group U.S. (ARG/US) awarded its first certified broker designation to Jets.com at the NBAA Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference in Savannah, Ga. last month. Jets.com is headquartered in Quincy, Mass., and has offices in Manhattan; White Plains, N.Y.; and Phoenix. Joe Moeggenberg, ARG/US president, said the new certification will ensure that all of a charter broker's retail trips are scheduled with an operator holding an ARG/US Gold, Gold+ or Platinum rating. "Any broker can say that it uses ARG/US, but not every broker adheres to our very high standards of aviation safety," Moeggenberg said.

You either love scones or hate them – I am a lover This is a great recipe that turns out a delicious fruit and nut scone. The cranberries are just sweet enough without making these too, too sweet. And the pistachios are a nice change from the typical walnuts or pecans found in baked goods.
14 servings
187 calories per serving
3 c flour
1 1/2 t cream of tartar
3/4 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
2 T orange zest
6 T butter
1/3 c Splenda
3/4 c skim milk
1/2 c dried cranberries
1/2 c chopped pistachios (no salt)
Some extra water if dough is too dry.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with Pam. Combine flour, tartar, baking soda, salt and zest in a large bowl and cut in butter with a pastry blender ( a hand held tool available at all kitchen goods stores) or pulse in a food processor.
Once crumbly, add Splenda and milk and stir just until moistened. Add cranberries and nuts and pat dough to a 3/4 inch thick circle on a lightly floured surface. If dough is too dry, add a few tablespoons of water but not too much – this is a very dry dough. Use a 2 1/2 round biscuit cutter to make scones (or any other shape – just adjust calories accordingly). Place on baking sheet and cook 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.Tags: craisins, cranberry, cranberry nut scones, Dessert, fruit, fruit and nut, nut, orange zest, scones, splenda

Researchers in Italy found that women who consumed 1 to 2 apples each day reported better sexual quality of life than those who didnt eat any. Scientists think it might have something to do with these women being healthier over all OR it might be because of certain antioxidants in the peel of the apple that are good for lady parts.

Ryan Harrison, Jack Sock advance in Round 1,
John Isner, Kei Nishikori, Milos Raonic, Lleyton Hewitt
to play Center Court matches tomorrow at Newport
NEWPORT, R.I., July 9, 2012 - On Opening Day at the Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships, Newport fans were treated to some outstanding matches from start to finish. In the first match on center court, young American Jack Sock, who received a wild card into the tournament, came on strong in the first set, winning 7-5 over Russia's Igor Kunitsyn. After Kunitsyn dominated the second set, winning 6-1, Sock came back to win 6-4, earning his second career tour-level match. The match was Sock's first since being sidelined with an injury in March, and his first time ever playing on grass courts.
Ryan Harrison and Ruben Bemelmans battled it out in the final match on center court, which kept fans on the edge of their seats and drew many players back to watch. Harrison, a prior quarterfinalist at Newport, overcame Bemelmans in a very close match, 7-6(8), 6-7(5), 7-5.
Newport's two-time runner up Olivier Rochus advanced, defeating Go Soeda in three sets, and Michael Russell won over Donald Young, also in three sets.
In doubles action, the Aussie pairing of Leyton Hewitt and Chris Guccione defeated James Cerretani and Matt Ebden, who won the 2011 Newport doubles title with Harrison.
The qualifying round concluded today with Benjamin Becker, Izak Van Der Merwe, Sergei Bubka, and Tim Smyczek earning spots in the main draw.
The first round of the Campbell's Hall of Fame Tennis Championships continues tomorrow with some of the draw's biggest names taking to the courts, including defending champion John Isner, who will play Sergei Bubka; Canada's No. 1 player Milos Raonic versus Matt Ebden, Kei Nishikori versus Igor Sisling, Lleyton Hewitt versus Vasek Pospisil, and Newport's 2009 finalist Sam Querrey versus Alex Bogomolov, Jr.

|MSN Entertainment's 100 favorite films
98. "The Earrings of Madame de ..."
There are some movies that are so perfect, so exquisitely beautiful, so
effortlessly elegant, they're almost painful, like watching an overwhelmingly
enchanting dancer. Their beauty cracks something inside of you,
inspiring/torturing you to tears or even a brief spurt of madness. Nothing is
that lovely. And, indeed, nothing is. The pain of manipulating those graceful
muscles, and in the case of Max Ophüls' "The Earrings of Madame de ...," the
pain of that shambolic muscle called the heart, reveals what threatens to stain
one's resplendently spotless satin and silk: blood-red human deception and
Glittering surfaces are the thing in the world of Ophüls' late 19th-century France, in which Comtesse Louise de ... (Danielle Darrieux), the stunning, spoiled wife of the similarly stunning and wealthy Gen. André de ... (Charles Boyer), makes a decision with dire and even morbidly comical consequences: She secretly sells a pair of earrings, a wedding present from her husband, to pay off debts. What proceeds is Ophüls' intended carousal of uncertainties, the earrings moving from one wooden-cheval climber to the other, notably the wife's Italian lover, Baron Donati (Vittorio De Sica), cursing these elegant creatures with looming heartbreak. Ophüls fills every frame with such opulence: mirrored reflections, dizzyingly perfected montages and those famously inspired tracking shots that are so graceful, so seamless that, again, they feel as if they could cut you open. It hurts. But, oh, how I love the pain. — Kim Morgan(Charles Boyer and Danielle Darrieux in "The Earrings of Madame de ..."/Courtesy Everett Collection/Rex Features)

(Yesterday morning. I'm in our car with my wife Cat as I drive her to work.)
Me: Hey, so I posted a blog considering the idea of Jesus being fully man, but not having a sex drive. [That blog's here.]
Cat: Oh?
Me: Yeah. You know: How can Jesus be fully man without a sex drive? And if he has a sex drive, then how can he be sinless, since Matthew 5:27-28, says, "Do not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." What man doesn't look at women lustfully?"
Cat [looking out her side window at some construction going on]: Oh.
Me: What?
Cat: What?
Me: Don't you think that's interesting? That Jesus has to be sinless, yet, by his own definition, cannot be, since being fully man means he must regularly commit adultery? If Jesus was fully man, then must have lusted. And if he lusted, he wasn't sinless. [In slightly manic tone.] That's kind of interesting, don't you think?
Cat: Not really.
Me: What? Of course it's interesting. It's core to the whole conception of Jesus being fully man!
Cat: Look. You don't lust after your sister, right?
Me: Ew. No.
Cat: And you don't lust after your mom. Because your mom and your sister aren't potential mates for you. That's how Jesus saw all women. There are no potential mates for Jesus. Just like no sane father can lust after his daughter, Jesus couldn't lust after any woman. To Jesus, every woman is his daughter. Literally.
Me: So there's no psychological mechanism for his lust to kick in.
Cat: Right. It would be cruel of Jesus to have sexual relations with a woman. He's knows he's not gonna marry her.
Me: Right.
Cat: And that's how Jesus can be fully man and fully God.
Me: Oh. [Long pause.] I was going to say that, you know. [Cat silently resumes gazing out window.] I was. Really. I was. I would have thought of that.
Cat [pensively, still looking out window]: I wonder if I should start my own blog?
Me: No! You shouldn't!

With more than 1,500 contributors, the High Line Flickr Pool gathers some of the best photographs of the park. The images are displayed in a rotating gallery on our Web site, giving High Line fans from afar, and those New Yorkers stuck in the office a great way to keep track of park life.
This year we are expanding our merchandise program, and among the new offerings will be frame-worthy prints of the High Line. When looking for photographs to be featured as prints, of course we knew where to go.
We've selected five of our favorite horticulture images from the Flickr Pool, and we need your help picking one of them to reproduce as a High Line Print.
Follow us after the jump to see the full-size images and vote for your favorite.
Last night we unveiled the initial design concepts for the rail yards section of the High Line at a community input meeting at Public School 11 in Chelsea.
More than 400 neighbors, supporters, members, and friends turned out to listen to James Corner and Ric Scofidio, of the High Line Design Team, present their concepts, share their feedback, and ask questions.
The never-before-seen images represent the first vision for the High Line's unique landscape at the rail yards, which is still overgrown with wildflowers and grasses that grew up between the tracks when the trains stopped running in the 1980s.
Follow us after the jump to learn more and view the designs.
We have just completed week one of High Line Spring Cutback!
Spring Cutback is an intense six week-long process in which we cut back the High Line's wild grasses, perennials, and shrubs to make way for new spring growth. It's our biggest task of the year and High Line Gardeners couldn't do it without the help of a dedicated group of volunteers. Stop by the park and see the transformation underway as spring bulbs and new green growth pop up.
Follow us after the jump for an update and photos from our first week.
This week we begin High Line Spring Cutback – our biggest horticultural task of the year.
Visit the High Line over the next six weeks, and you'll see High Line Gardeners busily working with teams of volunteers to cut back the High Line's wild grasses, perennials, and shrubs to make way for new spring growth. With each cut they make, you will start to see new green shoots and early spring bulbs emerge.
This morning we invited volunteers, supporters, and local teens from the NYC Lab School for Collaborative Studies to take part in a ceremonial cutting to mark the launch. Follow us after the jump to learn more and view photos.
The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that took root on the elevated rail tracks after the trains stopped running. The High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees — chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our Gardeners' current favorites.
In just a few days, we will begin what has become one of our favorite traditions since the High Line opened as a public park. Spring Cutback – it's a six-week operation that involves hundreds of hours of hard work to trim back the park's 100,000 plants to make way for the new growing season.
Spring Cutback is the biggest horticultural undertaking of the year – one that took us more than 1,200 hours to complete last year. With the recent opening of the new section of the High Line, this will be the first spring where we have one mile of parkland to prepare for spring. We can't do it alone, so we have recruited more than 300 members, supporters, neighbors, and friends from our community to help us complete this monumental task.
The volunteers recently completed their orientation session, where they were introduced to the unique challenges of maintaining a park in the sky. Follow us after the jump for a recap.
Stand on the High Line near its southern end, and look to the west toward the Hudson River. You will see a giant construction site covered with steel beams, plywood, backhoes, and other heavy duty equipment. It is all part of the ongoing work to build the new High Line Headquarters and Whitney Museum of American Art.
Follow us after the jump for a construction update and photos.
In case you missed it, last month Travel + Leisure named the High Line as No. 10 on its list of the world's most popular landmarks.
On Sunday, February 5, children and caregivers joined us for the Family Feather Flurry, a High Line Kids scavenger hunt that explored the High Line's winter landscape from a bird's perspective. Following clues about the High Line's unique plants and flowers, families made their way toward West 16th Street. From there everyone headed to the program's next stop, Posman Books in Chelsea Market, to decorate their bird puppets and listen to stories.
Enjoy photos from the event and download the High Line scavenger hunt for your kids after the jump.

Whoo boy. Where to begin with this one Arizona? Let's face it. Pro-choice or anti-choice, we can agree that the concept of sex-based or race-based abortions is bad. The first swings awfully close to China with its one-child policy and its preference for baby boys. The latter is a disturbing form of racism: what kind of woman is comfortable having sex with a man of another race but won't go so far as carrying his child because of said race?
But there's something in America called freedom of speech. And with it comes freedom of thought. With this law, Arizona is ignoring both.
Speech and thought aren't always pretty. They're not always agreeable. It's disturbing to think your next door neighbor may be a racist or misogynist. But our Constitution holds that he can be, and there's nothing you can do about it. Because once he gives up the freedom, you would have to give up yours to disagree with him.
We must protect the disagreeable to protect the agreeable. And so it is in the case of abortion.
Our Constitution has also been determined by the Supreme Court in the case of Roe v. Wade to protect a woman's right to choose what happens to her own body. She has the right to an abortion -- for whatever reason she determines necessary. It can be an awful trauma like rape. A terrible predicament like a broken condom and the utter inability to afford a baby right now. Or it can be because she is a racist moron who slept with a black man and can't bear to think of presenting her mixed race baby to her parents.
As they say, her body, her choice. That's the whole argument behind legal abortion, but Arizona wants to have it both ways. They'll pretend it's her choice. But it's really the government's. By moving in on two of those choices, Arizona isn't rooting out misogyny and racism. It's sneaking into a woman's mind and telling her that she can't think her own thoughts. It's putting into question a woman's motives for her own body. It's a dangerous precipice.
Because what comes next? It wasn't really rape because somewhere in the back of her mind her pleasure centers erupted and she actually felt something good? Or she doesn't deserve an abortion because at one time she thought she'd have a baby by 28, and here she is, 29 and trying to get rid of a fetus?
As long as a woman can legally get an abortion, the government has no business marching into her brain and asking her why. It's a legal abortion. Period.
What do you think of this law?

Where to begin with those one Arizona?
I'm normally a proud Arizonan... but not today.You're right Jeanne, you can't have it both ways. And this does open a scary door to judgement of a woman's motive for an abortion. By our own laws a woman has a right to choose an abortion for whatever reason she deems necessary. Having to "prove" it's a good enough reason to the government is an infringement on her rights.
Obviously everyone will just lie if they want an abortion for either of these reasons. But this law could become a very disturbing trend and who knows where it will end.
Before long there will be no rights at all in Arizona. It's funny because people singing how they love Arizona because it doesn't effect them....yet. Good luck with that!
Well, I can kind of understand this. There was an Australian couple who lost their baby girl to SIDS, so they decided to replace her. They were pregnant with healthy twin boys and decided to abort them because they were boys. That is horrendously wrong.

Cecil John Rhodes
Cecil Rhodes was a financier and statesman whose personal ambitions were a close second to those he had for British imperialism. It was still possible, in his lifetime, to implement colonialism while acquiring considerable power and accruing personal fortunes. It was the age of the dream of extending as far as possible the territories marked in red (that is, British colonies and dominions) on the world atlas.
Born in July 1853, Cecil Rhodes was one of six sons of a vicar. Due to ill health, he was not sent to Eton or Winchester like two of his brothers, neither did he end up in the army. His poor constitution meant he had to revise his ambitions to become a barrister or a clergyman and study at the local grammar school instead. He had a great love of the country and of agriculture, which came to the fore later in his life when aforestation and rural development became one of his passions in South Africa.
He was sent to Natal to join his brother on a cotton farm in 1870. Their failure to grow the crop successfully and the incurable bite of diamond fever led them to move to Kimberley (in Africa) a year later, where Cecil Rhodes persisted with his dream of wealth in spite of terribly harsh conditions and bad luck, until he turned his fortune and succeeded to make a life of mining.
His young life was spent between Oxford and Kimberley, feeling in the main an odd man out in both places. His academic pursuits, though desultory, were viewed strangely in the mining provinces, and his unusual laugh, oratorial voice and behaviour singled him out in England. But he had an almost mystical inclination to perpetuate imperialism, and would speak at length on the subject, gathering small crowds of admirers. His ill health was an obstacle he stubbornly refused to be distracted by, but he felt its portent, for he made as many as seven wills. In each, his ambitions for furthering the power of the British Empire figured significantly.
Although he never regarded accumulating wealth as a means to itself, Rhodes became quite successful in that regard while attempting to fulfil his dreams which were, apart from 'painting the map red', to build a railway from the Cape to Cairo, to reconcile the Boers and the British under one flag (the Union Jack, of course) and claim the American colonies for the Empire. They led him on a successful political career, with a number of achievements, not least of which being Prime Minister of Cape Colony.
Cecil Rhodes, who always insisted on being called simply 'Mr Rhodes', never married. There was an annoying entanglement with a cunning self-styled adventuress, Princess Radziwill, whose manipulative schemes were more financially than romantically inclined. Her passion for intrigue, power and gain caused the statesman more annoyance than political - or any other - advantage. She forged signatures, counterfeited documents and committed fraud using his name. He was even summoned to her trial and had to travel from Europe to Cape Town to give evidence.
Incurable heart disease brought Rhodes to his end in 1902. He had emerged into the new century hoping for an end to the Boer War, but it outlived him. He was buried in the Matopo Hills early in April of that year, after a funeral cortege by railway which was a memorable procession. The reading of his will later that month increased his reputation as an imaginative farsighted man, due to the creation of a new education grant trust for the now famous Rhodes Scholarships, his main legacy.

Changes to the Family Law Act 1975 - Family Dispute Resolution
From 1 July 2008 all individuals applying to the courts for a parenting order will be required to attend family dispute resolution first.
The new requirements affect all applications to the courts for a parenting order under Part VII of the Family Law Act 1975 relating to children's matters, irrespective of whether previous applications to the courts have been made (currently, people are only required to attend family dispute resolution if they have lodged a new application for a parenting order since 1 July 2007).
The exceptions to attending family dispute resolution, which include cases where there is child abuse or family violence, or where a matter is urgent, will remain.
The Attorney-General, Robert McClelland, announced the changes on Friday 6 June 2008. The media release is available at: www.attorneygeneral.gov.au/www/ministers/robertmc.nsf/Page/MediaReleases_2008_SecondQuarter_6June2008-FamilyDisputeResolutionforallParentingOrders
Sector News
The new Child Support Scheme
The Child Support Scheme and parts of Family Assistance have changed to better balance the interests of both parents and be more focused on the needs and costs of children.
In 2006, the Government announced that it would introduce reforms to the Scheme to reflect changes in Australian society since it was established in 1988. Since then, the CSA, FaHCSIA and Centrelink have been working hard to transition child support customers and inform stakeholders about the changes to the Scheme.
The major change on 1 July 2008 is the introduction of a new child support formula, but there are also changes to the way child support agreements work and changes to the way both child support and family assistance work when parents share care.
By now, all child support customers should have received their child support assessment based on the new formula. Customers have also been provided with, and are able to access, detailed information about the changes. Information sessions have been held across the country for customers and stakeholders. The CSA are currently hosting Community Information Sessions for those customers who are hard to reach due to their individual circumstances.
To support you in your role, information is available on the CSA website where you'll find a variety of products, including eBulletins (which you can subscribe to), a presentation used in information sessions for stakeholders, fact sheets, brochures, and other publications. The Family Assistance Office website also contains information about changes that were made to Family Assistance from 1 July 2008.
August 2008: Workshops with FRSP Managers of AMFT/SFVS/MFR
In August the Department will be hosting several workshops with the managers of:
- Adolescent Mediation and Family Therapy Services
- Specialised Family Violence Services
- Men and Family Relationship Services
The workshops aim to provide us with a better understanding of what service models are being used and what works well, current issues and how we can better support families with complex needs through these service types.
Current providers of the National Illicit Drug Strategy, Strengthening Families projects will also be invited to attend these workshops to see where synergies between service types might be developed.
The workshops will be professionally facilitated. More information is on its way to the CEOs and managers of these service types.
In the interim, if you would like to find out more about the workshops please feel free to email email@example.com.
Snapshots of family relationships report
All service provider CEO's will shortly be receiving or have received a copy of the Snapshots of family relationships report compiled by the Australian Institute of Family Studies.
The report was commissioned by FaHCSIA in April 2008 for National Families Week and highlights key trends in family relationship issues and attitudes.
The report presents an overview of contemporary and changing family dynamics and relationships drawing on data from a number of sources including the General Population of Parents Survey 2006.
This report provides a brief outline of the following issues:
- trends in couple formation, dissolution and family size
- the personal satisfaction teenagers and adults derive from their family relationships (including step-relationships) and parents' views about the closeness of relationships between their own parents and children
- parents' opinions about various issues, such as the ease or difficulty most parents have in raising children
- the sources of professional support parents expect they would use should they face difficulties in their relationship with their partner or in handling their children's behaviour and any they have used
- post-separation patterns of parenting.
The report indicates that the vast majority of families describe their relationship in a positive light and resolve problems successfully, often by accessing the services of external support agencies.
The report will be a valuable resource for the ongoing development of the sector.
Copies of the report are available via the following links: http://www.aifs.gov.au/institute/pubs/snapshots/ssreport08/ssreport08.html http://www.facsia.gov.au/internet/facsinternet.nsf/News/nfw08.htm
Family Relationship Services Program Performance Framework
The Family Relationship Services Branch in FaHCSIA has been working with the family relationship services sector to develop a new performance framework that will enable the Department and the sector to better monitor the effectiveness of the program.
The current framework focuses more on monitoring the efficiency of, and driving value for money in, service delivery. While service providers currently have their own effectiveness measures they are not consistent across the sector.
As the program is jointly administered by FaHCSIA and the Attorney-General's Department, the new framework needs to meet the accountability requirements of both departments and the sector and cover the diversity of early intervention and post-separation service types funded under the program.
On 11 April 2008, the newly established working group on data quality and performance management, which includes representatives from both departments and Family Relationship Services Australia, agreed to a list of high level key performance indicators that will be mapped across the range of program services types. These indicators will provide a line of sight from the program's service types and outputs through to the FRSP outcome and each department's individual Portfolio Budget Statement outcomes.
This approach will support both consistency and flexibility in performance management. For example, the key performance indicator 'safe family relationships' will be equally relevant to Specialised Family Violence Services and Children's Contact Services.
Data-collection and performance monitoring will continue through FRSP Online in respect of measures of effort, but is also expected to be refined as work on the framework progresses.
Child Support Scheme - What are we doing to collect overdue child support?
As part of the reforms to the Child Support Scheme, we are focussing on ensuring child support assessments are accurate and that parents meet their child support responsibilities. We have released a new child support compliance strategy, CSA: Supporting parents to meet their child support responsibilities 2008-2010, that explains our approach.
For most parents, our focus is on making the system easier to use and providing support, education and assistance. However, parents who continue to avoid making child support payments or seek unfair advantage now face a wider range of advanced detection and enforcement actions. These include:
- employer withholding of arrears – where employers are legally required to collect outstanding amounts of child support from employees' wages or salaries. This may vary each pay depending on the amount of outstanding child support
- tax lodgement – where CSA identifies customers who have not lodged a tax return and refers them to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for enforcement
- tax return intercept– where tax has been overpaid, the ATO is obliged to refund the excess. The ATO will let us know when a refund is available to a parent with outstanding child support and we may take the outstanding child support amount from the refund
- customer tracing – where we use a range of sources, including Centrelink and the ATO, to find customers and ensure they are paying the correct amount of child support
- income minimisers – where there is evidence that either or both parents' taxable income does not accurately reflect their income, property and/or financial resources, we will investigate
- Departure Prohibition Order – used to stop parents with large child support debts from leaving Australia until adequate payment arrangements are made
- court action– targets parents who continue to avoid child support payments and only after we have made significant attempts to use other enforcement options
- optical surveillance – in our more serious cases we may also use optical surveillance to help us investigate complex avoidance and income minimisation arrangements
- ITSA partnership – we have partnered with Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia (ITSA) allowing us to seize and sell a CSA customer's assets where they owe outstanding child support and have not complied with a court order obtained by the CSA for payment
- salary sacrifice – the definition of income used for a child support assessment includes certain 'salary-sacrificed' contributions to superannuation. From 1 July 2009 these amounts will be clearly visible in tax returns and automatically included in assessments.
We have collected an extra $97 million through these actions between 2006 and May this year.
If you have overdue child support please call 131 272. In certain circumstances you may be entitled to have your assessment adjusted which could reduce your outstanding payments and late payment penalties
If you have information that could assist CSA compliance investigations contact CSA directly or call the Government's Fraud Tip-Off Line on 131 524 if you'd prefer to be anonymous.
For more information on our compliance activities and to see the new strategy go to www.csa.gov.au
Information kits for separated parents in prison
The Child Support Agency (CSA) has released information kits for separated parents entering and leaving prison. There are three information kits outlining child support responsibilities when you enter prison, when you leave prison, and if you are an advocate for a prisoner.
These kits have been developed in consultation with several advocacy groups and state-based corrective services.
These information kits are a valuable resource for CSA outreach workers and legal practitioners, helping them communicate with separated parents in prison who receive or pay child support and ensure their assessments are based on correct information.
Information kits can be ordered by phoning 1800 040 972 or from the CSA website at www.csa.gov.au
Stakeholder engagement survey thanks
A big thank you to all the organisations that completed the Child Support Agency's recent stakeholder engagement survey. The survey benchmarked the satisfaction of stakeholders with the way the CSA engages and sought feedback on how the CSA might be able to do better. The results are currently being collated and a summary will be available in a future edition of the FRSP news.
Establishment of web pages on Family Relationships Online for new Family Relationship Centres
Twenty-four new Family Relationship Centres commenced operation from 1 July 2008. To assist Centres with their communication and promotional activities one page is provided for each Centre on Family Relationships Online.
The purpose of the page is to provide key information about each Centre and its activities in its own words and pictures. Each Centre's page is fully integrated into the Family Relationships Online web site with links from the main Family Relationships Centre page and to interactive maps which show the location of the Centre's outlets.
The Attorney-General's Department has published a set of guidelines to help Centres develop content for their pages. The guidelines are available for download from the Family Relationship Centres Resources page on the Departmental web site.
Content from each of the new Family Relationship Centres should be emailed to the Family Relationships Online Help Desk as soon as possible.
Family Relationships Information Pack
The Attorney-General's Department has put its suite of brochures and fact sheets together into one handy Family Relationships Information Pack. The pack contains easy-to-read material about Family Relationship Centres, the Family Relationship Advice Line, the Family Relationships Online website and information on family relationship issues.
To order packs for your service, visit Family Relationships Online at www.familyrelationships.gov.au and click on the brochures and publications link, or telephone 1800 114 393.
Conference and Events
Post Separation Cooperative Parenting Forum
The first 14 new Post Separation Cooperative Parenting services will open from October 2008. The Attorney-General's Department has invited these new services to a forum in Canberra on 7-8 August to network and discuss the new program. The forum will assist services in the establishment phase by increasing their understanding of the program's aims and ways to deliver it.
Post Separation Cooperative Parenting aims to help highly conflicted separated parents develop strategies to manage their conflict in their child's best interests. It will help separated parents in 28 regional areas understand the effect of entrenched conflict on children and that their children need them to be supportive of the children's relationship with the other parent.
Post Separation Cooperative Parenting will use a short educational workshop designed to evoke strong emotional reactions in parents and raise their awareness of children's needs. The program will provide additional supports such as counselling to help parents act on the insights they gain at the workshop.
A further 14 services will open in July 2009. The Attorney-General's Department will conduct a competitive selection process for these services later this year.
From babies to blokes: the making of men conference
The 2nd National Conference of the Men's Advisory Network (MAN) will be held from 3-6 August 2008 at the Fremantle Esplanade Hotel. It follows on from the successful conference held in 2006.
The conference theme is 'From babies to blokes: the making of men' and it has six streams:
- conditioning of infant boys
- development of boys
- transition from boyhood to manhood
- men and work
- men and relationships
- men and ageing.
Further details of the conference are available at the Men's Advisory Network site.
The conference aims to serve as a catalyst for a shift in men's culture which is seen as a necessary step to improving the wellbeing of the whole community. The conference will serve as a platform to help establish the directions and actions that will be taken by the various stakeholders in order to achieve this change.

Emerging MEMS: Leading suppliers say MEMS oscillators, picoprojectors and tunable RF are finally ready to take off
Leading suppliers say the time has at last come for MEMS oscillators, picoprojectors, and tunable RF to break through to the next level. Yole Développement thinks they may be right this time, with each of these markets now on track to pass the $100 million –- though it may still take two to four more years.
Maturing MEMS technology, maturing customer acceptance of MEMS technology, and the burgeoning market for smart phones seeking differentiated value, may start to push some long-emerging MEMS devices into real commercial volume markets over the next few years.

In January, CCCS counseled 1,300 people in its offices, which are open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.
The office has a five-gallon jug filled with shards of credit cards in nearly every room in the office.
The clients learn how to budget, save and pay bills on time.
"They're learning new habits and ways to turn themselves around," Booker said.
"They (also) need support. 'Once I'm taught these things, how do I set them in motion, how do I keep them in motion?'"
In addition to teaching these skills, CCCS can often lower payments and reduce late fees. Those reductions are up to each individual creditor, Booker noted.
The company charges clients $8 per creditor per month up to $35, Booker said, noting that in certain cases those fees may be waived.
Catonsville resident Erin Dickerson is a counseling manager with CCCS who meets with people at the Frederick Road office.
Often the difficult situations she sees include people who are either unemployed or under-employed.
She said many have made the mistake of waiting too long and getting too deeply into debt before asking for help.
"Everybody needs help at some point in their life. Don't be afraid to ask," Dickerson said. "I think if people would speak up a little sooner, they wouldn't find themselves in such a difficult situation."
Though Clay-Boone was laid off from her job at Verizon in April, she said she has still managed to pay off some of her debt with her unemployment checks and pension.
"I want to work, so I can pay off my bills a little faster," she said. .
Despite being unemployed for 10 months, Clay-Boone said she has a better grasp on her financial situation and plans to see the program to the end.
"CCCS has been very inspirational to me and very helpful," Clay-Boone said. "I'm not giving up."
