Project HOPE to Abolish the Death Penalty
An anti-death penalty groups teams up with a political cabaret in Alabama
For small nonprofit organizations like Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty, grassroots networking is what it is all about. Fundraising is important, but for those of us who are trying to bring about change through education of the public, getting the word out to new audiences in unique ways is invaluable. Linking with very different organizations can make that happen.
Earlier this year, one of our great friends from the Birmingham Peace Project, Chair Diane McNaron, a singer/producer, activist and stage director of the Politically Incorrect Cabaret, decided that the Cabaret should take on the issue of the death penalty in Alabama. The Politically Incorrect Cabaret is a troupe of around a dozen singers and actors, dancers, writers and instrumentalists who create satirical, political cabaret.
The Cabaret performance focused on jury override, the reason Alabama sentences more people to death than any other state. Twelve jurors can vote for life and the judge, looking to be reelected, can sentence the individual to death. One would think that this not a topic that lends itself to humor, but it did and does under the skillful handling by the Politically Incorrect Cabaret of Birmingham.
The day after the first performance, I wrote a note to our supporters:
You should have been there last night when the Politically Incorrect Cabaret played to a full house at the University of Montevallo! Sophisticated, smart, talented are just a few words that come to mind, and of course: funny! The audience roared and laughed its approval at segments, which took on national as well as state issues. I haven't laughed that much in years, I think.
The program for the show read, in part:
The Politically Incorrect Cabaret is grateful for the presence of, tonight and at all times, Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty. Esther Brown was enormously helpful in writing the P.I.C.'s version of Razzle Dazzle, which was created for this performance and which will become part of our permanent repertoire. This text in our version is factually accurate in describing the state of capital punishment in Alabama.
The performance of this piece, tonight and in future performances, is dedicated to the memory of Darrell B. Grayson, former Chair of Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty-a poet and a fighter for social justice within the prison system-who was executed in 2007 by the State of Alabama, having been denied post-conviction DNA testing.
And finally, on a personal note, Darrel was born in Montevallo and his mother worked in housekeeping at the University of Montevallo. Sitting at the performance with Darrell's sister Betty Grayson, all I could think of was how much he would have loved it all and how grateful we of PHADP are to the Politically Incorrect Cabaret and our friend Diane McNaron for their extraordinary caring about things that matter.
I cannot imagine how we on our own could possibly have reached and continue to reach so varied an audience. Grassroots networking? Absolutely! And fun at the same time!

Public Safety Department
Laptops, cell phones, iPods, book bags, purses, MP3 players. These are just some of the items that are reported to Public Safety as being lost, misplaced, or stolen. What can you do to prevent losing or having your valuables stolen? Simply remove the opportunity by following the suggestions below:
Cell phones have fast become a favorite target of thieves. To reduce your chances of becoming the victim of a cell phone theft, the Public Safety Department offers you the following safety tips:
carry a bag that makes you a target. A bag that dangles from the shoulder can be easily yanked off your shoulder by someone coming up from behind.
carry your bag in such a manner that you can't let it go if you have to. Many women have been injured because their own bags acted as handcuffs as a purse snatcher yanked it away.
be aware of your surroundings and carry your bag close to your body, tucked in the bend of your elbow.
minimize the amount of money and credit cards that you carry with you on a daily basis. Divide your money between pockets and bags.
you are the victim of a purse snatch do not fight to hold onto your bag, especially if there is a weapon involved.
Here are some tips to help make your ride on NYC subways a safe and pleasant one. Remember that when you're on the platform, the safest place to wait is behind the yellow line, away from the edge.
And it just makes sense to...
Be careful not to display money in public.
Hold on to your pocketbook when using the shoulder strap.
Keep your wallet out of sight and never put your wallet in your rear pocket.
Be sure your necklaces and other jewelry are not visible.
Do not doze or fall asleep on the train.
Beware of loud arguments or noisy incidents. They could be staged to distract you in order to pick your pocket.
Familiarize yourself with the layout of the campus. Survey the campus while classes are in session and after dark to see that academic buildings, walkways, facilities, and parking lots are adequately secured and well-lighted.
Plan the safest route to your destination; choose well-lighted, busy pathways and streets.
Share your class schedule with your parents and trusted friends and give them your telephone numbers.
At night, stick to well-lighted areas whenever possible and avoid alleyways or "short cuts" through isolated areas.
Travel in groups and avoid going out alone at night.
Use the campus escort or shuttle services at night.
If you are being followed, change direction and go to the nearest business or home; knock on the door, and request that someone call the Police. Note the description of the person following you.
Walk near the curb and avoid shrubbery or other places of potential concealment.
Tell a friend or roommate where you are going and what time you expect to return.
Stay alert to your surroundings and the people around you.
Carry your purse close to your body and keep a firm grip on it; carry your wallet in an inside coat pocket or your front pant pocket.
Keep your keys separate from your purse or backpack.
Don't overload yourself with bags or packages and avoid wearing shoes that restrict your movements.
Walk with a confident stride; keep your head up and look around.
If a motorist stops and asks for directions, keep your distance from the car.
The Office of Public Safety is committed to investigating reports of lost, misplaced, or stolen property. Prevention, however, is the best cure. This newsletter is a service to educate the campus community on safeguarding of personal property. We know that we are amongst a responsible, vigilant, and caring population of people.
Please do your part by getting involved. It will help us all.

My four-year-old daughter jumped on her bed, fell, and smacked her mouth into a wooden post. Her bottom right center tooth was somehow pulled forward and downwards at an angle, and also slightly twisted to the left. (Her teeth weren't that straight to begin with, so I'm not entirely sure if it was already twisted or not.)Photos of injury: One | Two
It didn't bleed that badly, but the gum is slightly split where the tooth came forward, maybe about an eighth of an inch. I tried my best to push it back into place, but it's still not completely right. It felt lose enough to give slightly, but not loose enough to pull out the rest of the way. It's already been about an hour, and it's not bleeding anymore, but I'm worried her gum won't be able to heal with the tooth jutting forward.
We are currently without dental or health insurance, and I don't know of any emergency dental services in our area. Should I take her to a children's urgent care, or should I just wait to see if the tooth falls out on its own?

CHC sticksters win first match at home field
When Chestnut Hill College president Carol Jean Vale, SSJ, was presented with a men's lacrosse helmet and then strode out to midfield to drop a ball for a ceremonial face-off, you knew there was something special about last Thursday's home game.
It was, in fact the first men's lacrosse contest ever played at CHC's home venue, the artificial turf Victory Field complex. To make the occasion even more memorable, the Griffins won the game that followed, staving off a late comeback attempt by visiting American International College (Springfield, Mass.) to prevail, 8-7. Both Chestnut Hill and the AIC Yellow Jackets brought 1-1 records into the encounter.
The Griffins lax squad launches its inaugural season under the command of Richard Carrington, a native of Charlottesville, Va. who played collegiate lacrosse at North Carolina's Mars Hill College. He later served as an assistant coach at his alma mater and at Kenyon College, and he has coached at the high school level, as well.
CHC women's lax hoping for beginners' luck
With only a handful of returning players and a large group of beginners, there's no question that Chestnut Hill College will be undergoing one of those fabled "rebuilding" years in women's lacrosse.
Yet even in a 21-7 loss in last Thursday's season opener against visiting American International College (Springfield, Mass.), there were stretches when the Griffins showed promise.
"For half of our team, this is the first women's lacrosse game they've ever seen, let alone participated in," pointed out Chestnut Hill coach Lindsey Graham, who is also a newcomer to the CHC program. Hired last summer, she had little chance to do any meaningful recruiting, and has instead managed to stir up interest among athletically inclined students who were already enrolled at the college.
Graham was formerly an assistant coach with the Division I program at Canisius College, where she was also a volleyball assistant. She came out of a strong scholastic lacrosse program at Spring-Ford High School, and went on to play for Ithaca College.
GFS and PC girls meet in lacrosse tune-up
On one of the last dry days before our most recent Nor'easter arrived, the girls lacrosse players from Germantown Friends jogged down School House Lane to engage in a pre-season scrimmage at Penn Charter. The Wednesday afternoon encounter proved to be a fairly even match, with the visiting Tigers outscoring the Quakers, 16-14.

ATLANTA—Chris Chandler didn't take one snap from center Sunday. But the Bears' backup quarterback should be credited with one of the biggest plays of the game.
When Atlanta quarterback Michael Vick tossed a 42-yard pass to Willie Jackson with 4 minutes 2 seconds left, the Bears' 14-13 lead appeared to be in serious jeopardy.
"Chris Chandler, from the [sideline], said: 'I had a really good view of that. I don't think [Jackson] caught it,'" Jauron said. "Pete Carmichael [the assistant offensive coach in the press box] is the one I talk to when our defense is out there. And Pete felt the same way."
Chandler saw Bears safety Mike Brown leap and tip Vick's pass while trying for the interception.
"I had a perfect side angle of it," Chandler said. "Brownie tipped it and the receiver tried to come back for it. I could see the ball wedged between his face mask and the turf. Then he got his hands underneath it real quick.
"But I saw the ball kind of rattle real quick before he got his hands underneath it. So I started screaming and yelling to Dick to have those guys upstairs take a look at it. He trapped it, and that was a huge, huge play."
If the 42-yard pass play had stood up, the Falcons would have had a first down on the Bears' 22.
Instead, the play was reversed and Vick was sacked on the next play, a third down, for a 16-yard loss by Brian Urlacher.
"It's a very sweet feeling to beat those guys," Chandler said.

Ray and Frank go and see Maddie,and Gerard wakes up from a certain amazing dream ;)
We walked at hurried pace the while way to Maddies house,getting soaked to the bone by the harsh pounding rain.It was fallingas if it would do so again,and I can feel te sqwishing in my shoes.Eww.Ray is so going to owe me if I get sick.
"There's her house,come on." he grabbed my jacket sleeve like a aggitated five year old,desperate to get to the toy store before it closes.I pouted but picked up my pace,hateing the wind as it lashed against my face.I huged my jacket a bit closer,pulling in as much warmth as possible in this weather.
I smiled as the rain dissapared when we stepped on the porch,but Ray looked so nervous,like he'd welcome the rain if only he didnt have to face her.He's chewing his lip so hard it might bleed. "Think happy thoughts." I said and wrapped my knuckles twice against the wooden door.
In seconds Maddies dad was standing there,with a book in his hand.Had we interupted his reading?Opps... "Hey,sorry to be by so late but we really need to talk to Madaline." I said in a shivering voice that seemed to run away into the cold as his hard stare on us stayd firmly in place.He seemed toughtful for a moment then grunted Maddies name just loud enough for the sound to carry upstairs.
When she ran down the stairs and caught sight of us,I could tell she wanted to just run right back up,but she stayed. "Hey Frankie...Ray." She hesitated with his name,as if not even sure he was there or not. "Hey,could we...?" and I pointed up the stairs in the general direction of her room.She nodded and started walking,and I felt releived to not have her dad's eyes boring into our backs anymore.
She shut the door behind us and turned slowly. "Whats up?" she asked,feeling the akwardness hanging in the air. "Ok Maddie,I know you probally dont want to see me right now,or ever for that matter,but im sorry I ran away after I kissed you.I really like you,as if that isnt obvious,and I was hopeing mabey you just might want to be my girlfriend?" He said in one breath,where'd all that energy come from?His eyes were sqweezed shut,and his body was tense.
She laughed.Yep thats right,laughed.Rays eyes shot open,the hurt clear for all to see. "Why are you laughing at me?" He said,his voice qwivering,and dieing out. "Because you look like you expected me to say 'no'" she smiled and I sighed with relief.She is one crazy bitch.Ray smiled lightly and hugged her "I can take that as a yes,right?" she giggled and nodded.I turned away and watched the rain pound down on the window.Wow,its really picked up out there.
"Um,guys..." they looked over my shoulder and saw the glass vibrating with each rain drop.Ray's hand automatically shot up to his hair.God he's obsessed with that cloud up there!
We ended up staying at Maddies tonight,her father not wanting to be responsible for us getting hit by an out of controll car.Me and Ray had to sleep in the guest room,of course,but as long as we were awake,we could hang with Maddie.
I ended up listening to my ipod on full blast,while they were kissing behind my back,I swear to God that I will get them back,one day,some way.Or wait,how bout now?I switched the song to phycosocial by slipknot and unpluged my head phones.I turned around just in time to see them jump apart and Maddie start jumpig around and singing.
Ray glared at me,and if looks could kill...ouch.
I fell asleep whatching Bad Girls Club,and dreamed of that beautiful facethats been plauging me all day.In my dream,Frank had sat down on my lap and just started kissing me,no words,just kissed me,and as it went on,the dream seemed more real,i could feel evey touch,tase his mouth,smell his cocoa shampoo and coffee scented breath when he came up fo air.
I woke up to find a problem awaiting me,just to show me how bad I was in for this guy,taunting me.I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my fce and starred at my self in the mirror. "You need to get over him.He doesnt want you,and he's obviously not good for you.He has poisioned your mind,and invaded your dreams.Get the fuck over him." I mumbled this to myself,starring into my on eyes as I did so.
The words sunk in,but that arrogont voice ive learned to live by in the back of my mind said other wise. "You know that he wants you,he'd die for a kiss,and lor knows what he'd do for somthing more.And you want him to,go get him.Track him down and get him now." I knew all to well that this voice was the only reason I wasnt picked on and hated,but worshiped and loved.I ran to my room and put a flash drive into my computer and reaserched people named Frank in the Belleville area.I found a 41 year old Frank earnest,a 8 year old franklin Rochester,and a 15 Frank Iero.I guessing its the last one.
I downloaded the address into my flash and walked out to my car.I smirked as the black car shined in the moon light.I climbed in and plugged the flash into the stereo,putting the address into my GPS,and sped off into the night. "Turn right." the british accented machine ordered.I continued to drive untill the machine stated I had arrived at my desired address.
The house was dark,and had a sad feeling to it.I shook it off and walked to the door,not even worried about what I was going to say.I knocked and waited untill a clearly drunk woman opened the door with a bottle of vodca in her hand. "what'dya want boy?" she slurred dunkenly. "Does Frank Iero live here?" she sneered at the name and nodded. "But he aint here.He's at his friends,Madaline." A pang of hut throbbed through me.Madaline.That must be his girlfriend.
"Oh well,...um thanks any way.Good night." I said and staggered back to my car.I havent felt this much pain since that day I left home.It pumped through me with every heart beat.I wanted to kill and destroy this 'Madaline' chick.....
longest chapie yet!I hope you liked it!

Here we have it, Google's Earth Day logos from 2002 to 2007. Not only can you trace a substantial increase in awesomeness, but if you look hard you can also kinda see the recent history of levitra female the environmental movement.
The first three years (2001 can be seen here) show the Earth from a distance. If you remember 2001 through 2003, it wasn't a great time for the environmental movement. America and the only for you viagra legal world were occupied with other things and Bush had asserted his environmental agenda without much resistance.
But then in '04 and '05 there was a change, Google decides, instead of a distant view, to observe the adorable aspects of our planet. Happy fish and squirrels storing nuts in the crook of the 'g.' Google, in a sense, discovered nature.
And then in '06 we see Google gone EcoGeeky. Alternative energy was starting it's boom (that is still, a year later, in it's early days). This is around when EcoGeek.org launched, so I remember being excited about that logo. Suddenly the logo had shifted from cutesy to http://roguelephant.com/cheap-cialis a serious, though still positive, representation of Earth Day.
But now, in '07, we see a real change. The consensus concerning human-created climate change has grown, the environmental challenges facing our world are more significant. This logo directly reflects climate change and is a fairly serious reminder of the challenges we face.
So the environment has gone from distant, to cute, to important, to vital...and it's all happened since Google making their fancy holiday logos...just six years ago.

It is so wonderful to see the progress, but also to notice that, if in 2005 the issue was the environment, in 2006 it was alternative energy and now the focus is on the www.blickueberdenzaun.de ocean.

As you may have heard, we had a wonderful visit by Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz over the past two days. Dr. Stiglitz won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2001 and is currently teaching at Columbia University. I first met Dr. Stiglitz when he was Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Clinton, and if anything, he has become even more influential and prolific since his time in the White House.
Dr. Stiglitz spoke about sustainability and economic growth to an overflowing crowd of about 700 on Tuesday evening at Orvis Auditorium here on the Mānoa campus.
Yesterday morning, he spoke about global economic rebalancing to a group of more than 100 downtown business leaders at the Plaza Club. His insights on the economic shift of power and opportunities for Hawaiʻi were quite interesting and well-taken by the audience.
Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz spoke about sustainability and economic growth to an overflowing crowd at Orvis Auditorium on March 13th. We had to seat people onstage with Dr. Stiglitz!
Dr. Stiglitz, along with his wife Anya Schiffrin, capped off his visit last night at Washington Place, where he participated in a small-group discussion on rebuilding economic prosperity at a gathering hosted by Governor Neil Abercrombie and First Lady Nancie Caraway.

Finding the Simple Life
I've been struggling of late to simplify my life — to remove distractions, refocus my time on what is most important, reevaluate my environment to make it calming and relaxing, and in general weed out what isn't crucial to me or my life. There is simply too much of everything, too many distractions, and I need peace. The problem of simplification is a common struggle among my friends and family.
In pursuit of my goal, I ran across a frelling awesome website, Zen Habits,that offered a number of useful resources for people trying to overcome overload in all areas of life. A blog that started in 2007, the site has an extensive back-file of useful simplifying and organizing information. As I know many of my library colleagues struggle with information overload and work overload, I would like to suggest this site as an ongoing resource (email & RSS updates available).
A sample post from the site is The Zen Mind: How to Declutter, which I found to be a short, helpful approach to sorting through physical clutter (and the principles translate pretty well to digital clutter too).
The author also has written a DRM-free and copyright-free eBook entitled The Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life. The first $5,000 in proceeds benefit the non-profit Guampedia. I have read through the first half of the book and am very impressed with the quality of content and simplicity of approach.
So go forth, declutter your life in all ways, and be free.

"Failure, then, failure! so the world stamps us at every turn. We strew it with our blunders, our misdeeds, our lost opportunities, with all the memorials of our inadequacy to our vocation. And with what a damning emphasis does it then blot us out! No easy fine, no mere apology or formal expiation, will satisfy the world's demands, but every pound of flesh exacted is soaked with all its blood. The subtlest forms of suffering known to man are connected with the poisonous humiliations incidental to these results."

Integrated classroom versus resource model: academic viability and effectiveness
by James Q. Affleck, Sally Madge, Abby Adams, Sheila Lowenbraun
More Articles of Interest
The district-adopted curriculum and materials are used in the integrated classrooms and are modified to meet the needs of the students. The goals and objectives specified in the curriculum provide guidance to the teachers in determining the concepts and content that receive instructional emphasis. The district curricula are supplemented by highly structured materials when needed, such as Reading Mastery (Engelmann & Bruner, 1983) and/or Corrective Reading (Engelmann, Becker, Hanner, & Johnson, 1978).
In 1983, the ICM teachers identified four Best Practices that they felt were essential to the success of the integrated classroom:
1. Complete inclusion of the special education students into the classroom. They were not to be singled out from the group.
2. The majority of teacher time spent on active instruction.
3. At least a 2:1 ratio of positive to negative comments from the teacher.
4. Adaptation of material by the teachers for individual instruction.
To validate the presence of these factors in the integrated classrooms, five education professionals were asked to observe two integrated classrooms and two regular classrooms. The observations were focused around teacher-teacher and teacher-student interaction; style of instruction; evidence of individualized instruction; and evidence of a behavior management system. A synthesis of the observations showed that in the integrated classrooms, there were five positive and differentiating areas that were continuously reported. These were (a) clear directions/expectations; (b) high reinforcement levels; (c) grouping for instruction; (d) direct, sequential instruction; and (e) individual attention.
As a further validity check, a series of observations was scheduled. The series consisted of two observations per year, in January and April, in both integrated and regular classrooms. The results of these observations continued to substantiate the presence of the five positive areas of instruction in the integrated classroom to a greater extent than in regular classrooms. During the last 3 years a number of studies of the ICM have been conducted by the University of Washington, three of which are reported in this article. Results of the Best Practice Study will be discussed in more detail in a future publication.
The nature of the 3-year study made it impossible to randomly select buildings to house integrated classrooms, students to be served in integrated classrooms, or teachers to teach in the program. In each building in which the ICM was implemented at each grade level, a limited number of students met eligibility qualifications as mildly mentally retarded, seriously behavior disordered, or learning disabled. All students so identified were assigned to the integrated classrooms; however, only those identified as learning disabled were included in this study because there were insufficient numbers of students with other mild handicaps.
A contrast group was composed of special education students in the same district who were enrolled in a resource room program. They were housed in one school building that did not have integrated classrooms. In the resource room model, students were pulled out from a regular classroom from 30 to 150 minutes daily for instruction in basic skill areas (reading, language arts, and/or mathematics). The same instructional materials and methods for basic skill instruction are used in the resource room model as in the integrated classroom model. Students were assigned to either the integrated or resource program according to the school building catchment areas they resided in. Individual characteristics, such as academic achievement, social behavior, or handicapping condition did not affect their program assignments. All of the students in both groups were Caucasian, and both groups had equal socioeconomic status as determined by the district's reduced school lunch data. Table 1 gives a detailed breakdown on the subjects for the 3-year study.
The teachers of both the ICM and resource room model had similar experience and background. Similar specialized materials and methods were used in both models. Teachers from both models participated in staff development activities offered to all special education teachers during the 3 years of the study.
The reading, math, and language subtests of the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery (Woodcock & Johnson, 1977) were administered individually to the subjects and the contrast group in October and May each year by four professionals who were trained to use the instrument. The Battery is widely used, standardized instrument which yields age scores, grade scores, and percentile scores for each of the three subtests. Each test session was approximately a half-hour in length.

Anonymous ASKED
What do you think of Bran's dreams this season? I'm hoping seeing his family in them is just set up for a Sean Bean cameo in the season finale a la Drogo in the House of the Undying.
I really love them. They're striking the right tone -melancholy, wistful yet ominous and eerie as hell. The family cameos are a perfect touch… I honestly think Bran's dreams have been very well-handled. I enjoy them.
As far as a Sean Bean cameo in the season finale, I agree that he very well could appear there and hopefully in a superior scene to anything in the House of the Undying
My own personal wish is for Ned to cameo during the final minutes of the ninth episode because I am a glutton for misery and heartache.

Reemployment and Earnings Recovery among Older Unemployment Insurance Claimants
AbstractThe rate of involuntary job loss among older workers has increased in recent years. Previous research has found that after job separation older workers take longer to get back in jobs, and experience bigger earnings declines than younger prime age workers. These studies were based on surveys targeted at older and dislocated workers, which rely on retrospective interviews of strategic samples from the general labor force. Previous studies have not explicitly accounted for the availability of unemployment insurance (UI) benefits between jobs. This paper compares the adjustment to involuntary unemployment of older and younger prime age UI claimants, using a census of UI claimants constructed from records maintained for program administration in a large industrialized mid-western state. We compare subsequent labor market success of older UI claimants aged 50 years and over with younger prime working age claimants aged 30 to 49 following a claim for UI benefits during the major labor market contraction in 2001. We find that relative to their younger prime working age counterparts, older UI claimants return to work at lower rates, are less successful at returning to prior earnings levels, and have lower employment rates in the near term after reemployment. However, older workers who do gain reemployment after a UI claim maintain closer attachment to their new employers. The relative advantage for younger prime working age UI claimants in reemployment, earnings recovery, and subsequent employment is greatest in the first year after the claim for benefits. There is also evidence that both older and younger prime working age claimants who get back to work in the very first quarter after a UI claim have higher near term employment rates than those returning to work only one quarter later. Getting back to work quickly was also estimated to benefit older UI claimants by significantly raising the mean earnings recovery. No comparable earnings recovery was estimated for younger prime working age claimants who quickly returned to work.

Peter – Range development, Sweden
Peter started working full time for IKEA after gaining a degree in Wood Science from Hamburg University – "I wanted to work for a company that could offer me a challenging and stimulating situation as I tire easily of routine work". Since then Peter has worked in a variety of jobs across his home country of Germany and in Russia and Sweden.
"When an IKEA store was opened in Moscow and I was offered the position of furniture sales manager in the national organisation, I jumped at the chance," he says. "However, I could never have done it without the support and encouragement of my partner; I also went back home to Germany on a regular basis to re-charge my batteries! It was hard work, but at the same time it was a very interesting job and I enjoyed every minute of it."
Peter relishes the challenges involved in moving abroad. After Russia, he transferred to Ämhult, Sweden, where he has been working for three years. There he feels he has finally found a place he would like to settle, at least for the time being.
He has just begun a new job as project leader for the worldwide launch of a new segment range. "IKEA of Sweden is a very good company to work for because it offers so many opportunities for promotion within the corporate division," he says. 'I have the chance, if I work hard, to reach a very high level of responsibility, with the kind of opportunities I never realised would be open to me."
After 10 years with the company, Peter is philosophical about his commitment to IKEA: "I learn something new every day, only when I stop learning will I know it's time to move on."

When: September 20 5:30 - 8:30
Location: New Mexico Governors' Mansion
An Exhibit of SFCC Faculty Artwork
Santa Fe Community College's Visual Arts Gallery presents a new exhibit featuring faculty members from the of School of Art, Design, and Media Arts. The show provides a rare opportunity to view the professional artwork by SFCC's arts faculty. More than 70 faculty members will exhibit their works of art in two separate shows: Sept 5 through Oct. 14 and Oct. 24 through Jan. 15. The opening reception for the first exhibit is Thurs., Sept. 5 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the gallery.
Many of SFCC Arts, Design, and Media Arts faculty have received multiple awards and are represented in museums, gallery exhibitions and public and private collections, nationally and internationally. Adjunct and full-time faculty members participating in the exhibit "From the Inside" include, among others, Braldt Bralds, illustration; Ivan Dimitrov, fine woodworking, furniture; Ezra Estes, fashion design; Noël Hudson, painting; James Marshall, ceramics; America Meredith (Cherokee), printmaking, printing; and Laura Rosenfeld, painting. The show also features media arts, book arts photography, printmaking, sculpture and woodturning.
"This exhibit offers unique insights into the personal artistic expression of our experienced and talented arts faculty," said Margaret Peters, dean of the School of Arts and Design, and Media Arts. "The variety of interests that inspire these faculty artists are reflected in the quality artwork represented in this show."

Word Of The Day
Fenugreek - is a plant cultivated worldwide as a semi-arid crop, and is a common ingredient in dishes from the Indian Subcontinent.
The word comes from the Latin fænum Græcum meaning 'Greek hay' because it was used extensively as fodder for animals.
Pause For Thought with author, screenwriter and magazine editor Martin Saunders
The American President – played by Jack Nicholson – looks the foreign invader in the eye. Determined to avert the impending war between their two races, he gives the speech of his political life. Instead of fighting, he suggests friendship. 'Think how strong we would be,' he says. 'Earth… and Mars… together.'
This is the key moment in the nineties sci-fi comedy 'Mars Attacks!' The aliens point a lethal-looking ray gun at Jack, but that doesn't stop him from delivering his personal 'I have a dream…' speech. He utters his plea for peace: 'Why can't we all just… get along?' And then the Martians kill him.
Despite the sudden plot turn, what sticks with me is his question and the sentiment behind it, which transcends an underrated movie.
When I think about real-life conflict, I imagine some war-torn trouble spot; or simmering tensions closer to home. Perhaps between people of different postal districts; of differing colour, class, or religion.
To all of these, that same question can be asked. It's easy to dismiss as naive the idea that we could live in unity and friendship with people of different faiths, cultures and attitudes to our own.
And yet, I believe it's possible to learn to better co-exist. That I could learn to befriend and understand those different to me; to put their needs ahead of my own.
I believe that we are all created in the image of God, but I can sometimes fail to apply that. I wonder what might happen to my own prejudices, if I began to truly see others through that lens? As fellow children of God, equally loved by Him. Perhaps then, the idea that we might better learn to 'get along' could start to seem a little less naïve.
In the aftermath of the riots that shook Los Angeles in 1992, their central figure made the same simple plea. Though he'd suffered a brutal and public beating, Rodney King sought to bring people together. When his opportunity to address the nation came, he simply turned to the camera and asked that same question: 'Can't we all just get along?'
Today, I'm going to enjoy a moment of naivety and consider again: why can't we?

The Play3 Reviews
Chapter 1 of my play story hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own CotT if I did Archie would have told Atlanta how he felt and Jay and Theresa would have kissed.
Note: do NOT forget who is who in the fan fiction.
Jay- Josh
Theresa- Tamara
Archie- Tyler
Herry- Greg
Neil- Jordon
Odie- Nicholas
Atlanta- Amy
It was the night of the school play, all was quiet in the audience… yeah right, sure. The audience was being loud as usual, until a familiar vibrant red haired girl walked to center stage. "Excuse me!!!" She screamed, she was Atlanta, track star and 'The Hunter'. The audience quieted; surprised at how loud she could scream without a microphone, little did anyone know she had lots of practice. "Thank you. Tonight is the night of the first school play of the year. This play is purely teen made and is the typical stereotype school with a twist. I hope you enjoy the show, I know I will." With that Atlanta walked backstage, the curtains rose and Theresa, dressed as a cheerleader, ran out to center stage. Panting she said "I think I lost them, man football player love is cute at first but it gets way to old WAY to fast" she said to the audience. "Tamara, Tamara" voices, most likely belonging to the football players, called. "Crap!" said Tamara/Theresa and she dove behind a bush, its back facing the audience so they could still see her but the people on stage couldn't.
Meanwhile Back Stage.
"Good work Theresa" said Atlanta quietly. "So when's my scene?" asked Archie a.k.a. Tyler, the drama geek. "Soon, soon" said Atlanta, who had to manage the show as well as be in it. "Wait its now." she said.
Back On Stage
The football players had given up and left the stage. Enter Tyler/Archie. Tyler walked, almost tip toed out onto center stage. "Ok I think I lost the Drama Club Girls, well at least I can hope." said Tyler. "Tyler, Tyler, Tyler" called the voices of several girls. "Damn" said Tyler. He dove behind the same bush as Tamara, right as the girls ran out onto the stage. The girls looked around for a minute then ran off the other side of the stage.
Behind The Bush
What are you doing here?" asked Tamara. "What am I doing here? What are you doing here." asked Tyler. "I was here first." said Tamara. "Ok true enough but what are you doing here?" he asked. "Huh, I'm hiding from the football players, they won't leave me alone! So what are you doing here?" said Tamara. "Easy I'm hiding from the Drama Club Girls." Tyler said shrugging. "Oh well, I think all of them left so let's get of here or were going to be late for lunch." said Tamara. With that, they both got up and left the stage, on opposite ends.
End Scene
Curtain comes down Atlanta comes out, her footsteps echoing through the quiet auditorium.
"Well there you have it, the first scene and the first merging of the school social clicks. What will happen next? Now let's see what happens next.
With that, Atlanta walked off stage and the lights dimmed.
Well? What do you think? Please Read, Rate and Review. Oh and to anyone who is also on FanFiction.net could you tell me how to put this story on the site. Please and thank you I'll try and get the next chapter up A.S.A.P.

Christopher Nolan on the ending of Inception
Inception comes out on DVD a week from tomorrow. Best movie of the year.
Also, are we really still stuck saying "comes out on DVD"? I definitely won't be buying the DVD, I'll get it on iTunes. Do we just say "gets released"? But then that sounds like its initial release… "Available to own"?
Can I just reiterate my love for the new MacBook Air?
It has now been about a month since I first reviewed the product. At the time, I noted that it had replaced my MacBook Pro as my go-to computer. Some thought that might be a knee-jerk reaction. But a month later, the story is still very much the same. I never turn on the MacBook Pro anymore. It's Air all the way.
And I don't feel like I'm missing anything. Yes, the Pro is obviously more powerful, but for 99% of the things I do, I just don't need all that power. What's sort of amazing to me is that I'm just using the baseline 13-inch Air model too, with only the 1.86 GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM…
It's perhaps a little ridiculous, but I'm even considering getting the 11-inch model too just for situations where I want to be really mobile. But the 13-inch seems pretty perfect as a all-day work laptop.
I haven't seen any data on it yet, but I have a feeling the Air is going to be a massive success when it comes to sales. The first one wasn't. But the first one was a flawed product. This version, in my mind, is the best Mac product out there.
My initial feelings about the then-unannounced product seem dead-on.
A couple weeks ago, I noted that I was going to try using Safari as my main browser. I lasted about a week. For this past week I've been back on Chrome, where I'm going to stay.
I take some shit for my undying love of Apple products, but the truth remains — as I've always said — that the only requirement for me using anything is that it has to be what I consider the best. Safari is not the best browser, in my mind. Chrome is.
In my week of using Safari, I have never seen so many beachballs. I have no idea why this was the case day in and day out, I was just doing regular browsing. The type of browsing that Chrome never has any problems with.
In general, Safari seemed noticeably slower than Chrome on everything from startup to rendering. And there were a number of quirks I saw when browsing certain pages that I don't see with Chrome.
The extensions for Safari were also pretty meh. There are a few good ones, but most seem unnecessarily bloated.
To be honest, it's a bit odd to see such a key Apple product that is getting beaten so badly. And it's weird since I consider mobile Safari to be superior to mobile Chrome. All of the above are based on WebKit.
As I noted, one reason why I wanted to try going back to Safari was that Chrome insisted on coming bundled with Flash, and it causes the browser to crash quite regularly. So I've just deactivated it in the browser now. Works like a charm. No crashes yet.
The time with Safari reaffirmed my love for Chrome's Omnibox and Pinned Tabs. I understand why some people like to have a separate search box, but my god, it just seems like a waste of space to me. As does full size tabs for things like Gmail which I always have open.
Anyways, I'm happy to be back on Chrome.
I'm not even sure why just yet, but Path is very, very interesting to me. It's almost as if Path is trying to out-Facebook Facebook, now that the latter is veering towards more public-facing data.
And Facebook is doing that because that's the way the world is going. And that's also the way to make money.
But maybe there is still room for private sharing. Twitter's 140-character limit exposed something that people didn't think they would want. Maybe Path's 50-friend limit will do the same.
I think that Treehouse has a particularly good way of mixing private sharing with public sharing. I like the idea that private is the default and public is the option. I know we're not even one day in, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Path go there.
This concept also sort of reminds me of the private Twitter account idea. It definitely appeals to some. But does that scale? And what on Earth is the business model behind that? I have to assume paid accounts, but Path is currently free.
Mainly, I'm just jazzed that someone is going against the grain. That's exciting. Often the best ideas spring from that — though perhaps not the best companies. At first.
And there's no denying that the app looks great.
The backlash is going to be swift on this one. But it would be foolish to write it off so quickly. There is definitely something interesting woven into this concept.
A couple weeks ago I noticed something really odd. My brand new MacBook Air went from starting up in about 10-15 seconds to well over a minute. Shutting the device down went from something like 3 seconds to about 30 seconds. Something was up.
I had actually noticed this on a few other Macs I've owned as well. My decked-out iMac, for example, was taking several minutes to start up. It has a quad-core i7 processor and 8 gigs of RAM. It used to start up super-quick, then it just stopped doing that one day.
I think I tracked the issue down to a Sprint USB modem I have. It makes you install this awful software to use it. And across my machines it seemed to be changing something in the boot cycle that was slowing them down.
But a Google search provided a fix.
This Apple Support page shows other users with the same issue (many also with USB modems). One of them posted about his solution. You open Terminal and run the following lines of code:
sudo chown root:admin /
sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
sudo kextcache -system-caches
After the first one, it will ask you for your system password.
Now, to be clear, I have basically no idea what this is doing. But I can happily report that it definitely works. I ran it once a couple weeks ago and it sped things right up. Then something slowed my machine down again (possibly the damn Sprint software), so I ran it again, and bam, just like new again.
It's so weird that seemingly everyone who is so pissed off about this latest Flash/Apple stuff has their careers centered around Flash development.
What a strange coincidence.
For no good reason, I decided to use Safari as my main browser today. Actually, there is a pretty decent reason: this. Flash can apparently shave 2 hours off of battery life on the new MacBook Air (and presumably other Macs as well). Chrome comes with Flash baked-in. Safari does not.
Yes, I have a Flash blocker extension installed on Chrome, but Flash has still been crashing my browser left and right in recent weeks. And it's the only thing that ever seems to strain any of my computers at all. So I'm testing out the Flash-free Safari.
I've already noticed a few things I definitely would miss about Chrome:
1) The Omnibox. I don't know why on Earth all browsers don't have this. It's just sort of silly to have two input boxes, one for URLs and one for search. Why not just have one input box to rule them all?
2) Pinned tabs. Tabs in Safari that I always have open, like Gmail, take up way too much space. On the flip-side, it's nice to be able to see unread counts again.
3) New related tabs opening next to your current tab. A small thing, but I prefer this over related tabs opening at the end of the tab bar (which Safari does).
4) Tab overview. On the Mac version of Chrome, there's a flag (formerly Labs) you can enable to allow a three-finger swipe down to show you an overview of all the tabs you have open — just like Expose for apps on the Mac.
Other than that, so far, so good. As a bonus, I've noticed that New Twitter is a lot less buggy in Safari too.

Lodge, Edward J.
In 1963, Judge Edward J. Lodge began his distinguished judicial career and is now one of Idaho's longest serving judges when his state and federal judicial service is combined. Judge Lodge was sworn in as a licensed attorney in 1962. He began his public service as a judge when he was selected to serve as a Probate Judge in 1963. Two years later, he was appointed by the Governor as the youngest state District Court Judge in Idaho. He served as District and Administrative Judge for the Third Judicial District of Idaho for nearly 23 years. In January of 1988, he was chosen to be a United States Bankruptcy Judge for the District of Idaho.
In 1989, he was nominated by President George H. Bush to serve as a United States District Judge for the District of Idaho. During his confirmation proceedings before the United States Senate, Senator McClure said "Certainly, there never has been before this committee a more-qualified or better-prepared candidate for nomination and confirmation as a United States District Judge." With the unanimous consent of the Senate, Judge Lodge's nomination was confirmed and he began his tenure as a United States District Judge on December 1, 1989.
Born in Caldwell, Idaho, Lodge spent summers working on his family's ranch as a "buckaroo." During the school year he participated in athletics. After graduation from Caldwell High School, he attended Notre Dame, but longed to return to the West he loved so much. He attended Boise Junior College and graduated from the College of Idaho, Cum Laude. He earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Idaho Law School.
Lodge is a three-time All American in football (High School, Boise Junior College and College of Idaho). He is also a former Golden Gloves Champion and excelled in track events. Lodge is a member of the Boise State Athletic Hall of Fame and the College of Idaho Hall of Fame. He is a Distinguished Alumni of Caldwell High School, Boise State University and the College of Idaho. He is also a lifetime member of the Boise State BAA.
Judge Lodge has had a distinguished legal career. He is the only judge in Idaho to have presided over two first degree murder trials at the same time (two juries in the same courtroom). He is believed to have presided over more murder trials than any other judge in Idaho. He was the judge for the Claude Dallas trial and the Randy Weaver trial. He is a former president of the Idaho Judges Association.
Judge Lodge served as the Chief Judge for the District of Idaho from 1992 -1999. He was selected to serve on the Ninth Circuit Judicial Council and was elected as Chair of the Conference of Chief District Judges. While Judge Lodge continues to serve as an active District Judge, he has already left a lasting legacy for the District of Idaho. During his term as Chief Judge, the District underwent major changes and boasted many achievements. His leadership was instrumental in any significant accomplishment within the District of Idaho. Some of these are listed below:
- Completion of the Criminal Advisory Report for expense and delay reduction, chaired by Chief Judge Lodge.
- Completion of the Civil Justice Reform Act for expense and delay reduction.
- Support and leadership for the Gender Fairness Committee. Consolidation of court services between the District and Bankruptcy Courts which resulted in permanent cost savings.
- Initiation of the State/Federal Judicial Council for sharing resources and policies between the Supreme Court and the Federal Court.
- Initiation of the highly regarded District Conference, a continuing education program for Judges and Lawyers.
- Initiation of ADR programs and the expanded use of Magistrate Judges in resolving civil proceedings.
- Support and leadership of numerous automation initiatives such as imaging, creation of the Internet/Intranet, video conferencing, and evidence presentation equipment.
- Completion of the Long Range Plan for the District of Idaho.
- Oversight and leadership over major construction projects in Boise, Coeur d'Alene and Pocatello.
In regard to Judge Lodge's leadership, Chief Judge Winmill said "the high regard in which he is held by his peers is reflected by his selection as chair of the Chief Judges Conference for the Ninth Circuit." Chief Magistrate Judge Williams noted, "the people of the State of Idaho owe a deep debt of gratitude to Judge Lodge for his many years of unselfish public service." Chief Bankruptcy Judge Jim D. Pappas said, "In sum, the Court is a better place because of Judge Lodge's outstanding leadership."
Judge Lodge presided over arguably two of the largest cases in District of Idaho when he tackled the United States vs. Randy Weaver criminal case and the Coeur d'Alene Basin Superfund clean-up case, United States v. Asarco, et al. Despite the national media requests and pressure from attorneys who vigorously fought for the best legal position, Judge Lodge managed the trials efficiently and maintained expert control throughout the proceedings. His work on these cases has become a model for handling complex, high profile trials.
Judge Lodge continues to be widely respected by judges, the bar and the litigants who come before him. His State Bar ratings continue to be among the state's highest. Whether a case is large or small, Judge Lodge is widely known for taking extra time to assure litigants receive a fair trial. Judge Lodge once said, "you have to be willing to give people their day in court and to understand that this is usually the most important thing in their life, whether it's a big case or a small case, and treat it as such."
Judge Lodge has received numerous awards and recognitions for his service to the judiciary and the state, including:
- Being voted one of the state's best judges
- First Trial Judge to be awarded the Kramer Award for Excellence in Judicial Administration
- Receiving the Idaho State Bar's Professionalism Award in 1997
- Recipient of the University of Idaho's "Idaho Award of Legal Merit" in 2000
- In 2002, Judge Lodge was inducted into the Idaho Hall of Fame Association for his outstanding achievements in the Judiciary.
- He received the Distinguished Lawyer Award in 2002 which is the highest award given by the Idaho State Bar Association for lifetime achievement by a lawyer who has distinguished the profession through exemplary conduct, unwavering commitment to the high ideals and years of dedicated service to the profession and citizens of Idaho.
- Recipient of the College of Idaho's Life Achievement Award from the Half Century Society for outstanding professional accomplishments and service to the community in 2007.
Judge Lodge's extensive judicial experience and dedication to the rule of law continues to benefit the District of Idaho as well as all the lawyers and litigants that appear before him.

Gluten Free Super Pancakes!
I've been cray for "bills pancakes" here in Japan, which usually need you to get in line for 1~2 hours to just get in. So instead of doing that, I've came up with my own pancakes.
I searched on line and found Bill's recipe, and made in into gluten free! Mine tastes a lot like bills, but lighter, and healthier. I also don't use butter as well.
Ricotta cheese- 115g
Gluten free flour - 70g
Eggs - 2(separate egg whites and egg yolks)
Soy milk- 85ml
Baking powder- 1/2
Salt - little
Make sure you separate the egg whites and make a really fluffy melange. This will help the pancakes to rise more!

The body of a child has been found at a trailer park on Whitney Drive. Gulfport Police say she was found just before 9am. They aren't confirming that it is 5-year-old Janaya Thompson, but it is a young black girl.
"This is a tragedy, not a story," Gulfport Police Chief Leonard Papania said as he briefed news crews at Bel-Aire Elementary this morning. "We appreciate your patience as we continue to investigate. We will not release any more information at this time."
A massive search has been underway since Janaya Thompson went missing Wednesday night. She was last seen around 8:30pm in the parking lot near the Palms Apartments on Three Rivers Road.
Her father, Jarmal Thompson, told WLOX News his daughter was always visiting friends around the apartment complex.
Thompson and other family members got little sleep overnight, praying that Janaya was okay.
By midnight, Gulfport Police had K-9 units, officers, and neighbors all out looking for the child.
A command post set up at Bel-Aire Elementary School has been shut down now that the search for the girl has been called off.
If you have any information about this case, call Gulfport Police at (228) 868-5959.

Allen finally looks like himself, I could literally cry tears of joy.
Commission by the wonderful miss littleulvar
About the character:
Allen's place in the Calidori crime family is as Antonio's personal adviser or "Consigliere". While he is not directly involved with the family's dealings, his ability to rationally oversee situations and make level-headed decisions balances out Antonio's explosive nature; because of this, he usually sticks close to the Don's side to diffuse situations which he may overreact to, rarely straying during work hours.
In his personal life, Allen is somewhat of a mystery. He "keeps his cards close to his chest" and doesn't socialize much outside of his family circle and small group of friends. Though social he prefers to be left alone when going about his daily routine, and isn't at all bothered by the fact that he is "alone" and without a "significant other"; he considers the people in his life to be more than enough and treasures the relationships he has. Allen was born with a congenital heart defect and also lives with a medical condition called "Heterotaxy Syndrome", in which several organs including his heart are located on the opposite side of his body. This condition has impeded several things over the years such as growth and his ability to gain and keep weight. Because of his poor medical condition, he has felt compelled to exercise regularly, running on a daily basis for at least an hour. Hobby-wise he enjoys reading and mind puzzles, and he certainly won't turn down a good cup of coffee or a quiet evening in with his "little sis". Quite possibly his most heavily guarded secret is his shapeshifter ancestry and his inability to control his temper during moon cycles. Allen is generally non-violent, though when "pushed too far", he will lose his temper in a flash.

"The quality of the cardstock is excellent. The colors are bright and design beautiful. We took a picture of our son with his favorite Sesame Street characters to give away the theme of the party without actually sending a regular Sesame Street invitation. We ordered expedited shipping and invitations came in before the expected date. Overall great experience. I will definitely shop Tinyprints again!"
"As always, prompt service, beautiful cards and a happy customer. This one is particular is super cute and am so happy with the quality. Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"I ordered these with the scalloped edges and red envelopes. Everyone that has gotten an invite raves about them. They are super cute and good quality. Great design for my sons first birthday party carnival / circus theme."
"I love this card. The cost of having it cut to the advertised shape is well worth it--it makes the card look very classy. I Love the design and the faux metallic sheen. I did spring for the pearl white shimmer paper--again, worth the cost. I only bought 15 of these, so the cost was palatable."
"This invitation is beautiful! I wanted something special for our daughter's first birthday and I got exactly what I hoped for. Being that she was a preemie, this invite has special meaning for us and we couldn't be happier with this product! I highly recommend it!"

Why do you think depression is on the rise in college students today?
I'm working on presentations engaging the issue of good mental health and resiliency in college and university students - focusing on depression. I'm curious as to what the collective TED community thinks.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 19 2011: We are caught between generations. We walk into a world that requires 10 years experience to get into, and a Masters degree, and we have no way to get that experience.
We have great ideas, great visions, but on a large scale, have no outlets.
The quality of the local education is pathetic. I quit a masters program because it was a waste of time. It was not 'higher education.'
College students also turn to substances to 'have a good time.' Its rampant. When half the 28k students are drunk 3-5 nights a week, it takes its toll. We've done a Pavolovian trick on ourselves and fun now = a substance.
Honestly, I'm depressed because I know my potential, and I know that HS and College have done little to refine me, to guide me, direct me, and prepare me for the 'real world.' Now with a degree of applied physics I am not directly qualified to do much else than more school. And in the 'real world' working for a fortune 1000 and then a fortune 100 over the last 5 years, I'm treated with a massive resistance to change and pushed to the fringe, stuck in a dead end job working well above my pay grade.
This world, on a large part, has forgotten the value in apprenticeship. Everyone has their own, and 20 years from now there is going to be a massive loss of knowledge due to a lack of intellectual transfer, and education creep. Requiring higher education, and constantly lowering standards will just shorten the working life, and extend the educational span. The problem is that its all filler. Why do we simplify the SAT over and over again? Mensa does not accept at 1600 SAT score as proof of intelligence anymore.
Eh. Apparently your question pulled my string. Hopefully some of that made sense.
