City Takes Steps To Reduce 'Catastrophic' Teen Pregnancy Birth Rate
Published: March 5, 2014
Before nearly 1,000 nonprofit leaders, local government office holders and business executives, Mayor Julián Castro lauded San Antonio's progress as a "city on the rise" in his fifth annual State of the City address last week. Castro noted graduation rates have increased, unemployment has dropped, obesity rates have dipped (coincidently, against the backdrop of the Whataburger logo, a key sponsor, but, hey, that's a different story) and that teen pregnancy birth rates—a glaring and long-standing problem in the Alamo City—have dropped, too.
Indeed, in 2012 the birth rate of pregnant women between 15 and 19 years old in Bexar County declined by 38 percent since 2000, according to the most recent data available. But that's not the entire picture—while the numbers shrunk in the immediate past, the overall rate continues to rest well above the national teen birth rate of 29 percent. To cast another shadow on the rosy state of the city, repeat teen births in the county made up nearly a quarter of all 2012 teen births, a figure that's stagnated in the two previous years.
So it's no wonder that when presented with the opportunity, the City jumped at the chance to direct federal funds toward teen pregnancy prevention. A slice of flexible federal Medicaid funds, allocated to the state, trickled down to local public health agencies with the goal of subsidizing prevention programs, as per a 2011 legislative budget agreement.
San Antonio's metro health district made out with $43 million as a result; those funds are now being directed toward several different prevention strategies, including $1.5 million devoted directly to teen pregnancy over the next three years. During an early February City Council meeting, members voted 10-1 to approve the University Health System's $851,928 investment in contraceptive access. Some 250 teenage girls age 13 to 19 (with parental consent if under 18) can now receive long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) in the form of either an intrauterine device (IUD) or hormone injections (the birth control shot).
Other initiatives in progress include teaching abstinence-plus sexual education at 23 middle schools, a case management program to work one-on-one with at-risk teen moms and a program, led by a teen-centered local obstetrician, that seeks to train physicians on how to cater specifically to teenagers.
Especially considering the massive legislative cuts made to family planning and contraceptive access at the state level, the local government-based investment is a much-needed step in curbing the high teen pregnancy rate, City Public Health Director Dr. Thomas Schlenker says.
"We've had our ups and downs and this certainly does not solve all our problems, but it's definitely a bright spot," Schlenker tells the Current. "It's a substantial amount of money that can be applied toward prevention that has never been available before, so it's a tremendous opportunity for us."
In addition, teenage girls who give birth at any UHS hospital can now receive the LARC before they leave the hospital (an attempt at reducing multiple births among teens)—a "no-brainer" according to Schlenker, but unfortunately something that hasn't occurred up to this point.

The New CEO's 1st Day
- Monday, February 21, 2005
A large flywheel company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. This new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business!
The new CEO walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, "How much money do you make a week?"
A little surprised, the young fellow looked at him and replied, "I make $300.00 a week. Why?"
The CEO then handed the guy $1,200 in cash and screamed, "Here's four weeks' pay, now GET OUT and don't come back." Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?"
From across the room came a voice, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."

It's not hard to understand that the Right Wing is out of touch, but sometimes it is hard to recognize just how out of touch its leaders really are.
Take, for instance, ISIS, the group of radical militants committing atrocities across Iraq and Syria, recently beheading two American journalists among many others. It's a scary organization, but to the Right, it's not as scary as, say, comprehensive immigration reform.
To Pat Buchanan, the threat of immigration and the "decomposition of this country" is significantly greater than that of ISIS. William Gheen of the anti-immigrant group Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC) also claimed that undocumented immigrants are a greater threat to America than ISIS since, according to Gheen, "ISIS could cut off the heads of journalists once a month for the next five years and that's not going to destroy America, but Obama's pumping of illegal immigrants into the country will."
Nor is immigration the only domestic issue the Right thinks bears a resemblance to a vicious foreign threat.
Vic Eliason and Mat Staver last week linked same-sex marriage in the U.S. to the beheadings by ISIS. According to Eliason and Staver, gay rights advocates are destroying morality and biblical values and creating an anything-goes society where people do whatever they need to—killing or beheading—to get what they want, just like ISIS.
What's terrifying about these comments isn't that they're extreme, but that these right wing figures aren't speaking in a vacuum. Their audience continues to represent an important part of the GOP base, and in some cases these speakers have a direct line to Republican politicians.
As progressives, we can't ignore this extremism just because it seems disconnected from reality. For the far right, that's never been an obstacle at all.
Continuing the unbroken record of marriage equality wins since last year's Supreme Court ruling against DOMA in the Windsor case, today a federal judge ruled unconstitutional Kentucky's ban on marriage for same-sex couples.
District Judge John G. Heyburn II wrote:
In America, even sincere and long-held religious beliefs do not trump the constitutional rights of those who happen to have been out-voted.
He dismissed the opposing arguments — including that the ban was good for the state's economic stability and birth rates — out of hand, noting, "These arguments are not those of serious people."
The judge has stayed the ruling for now, meaning that Kentucky couples can't immediately begin marrying. But the decision is a significant victory for LGBT families in the Bluegrass State, where activists have fought courageously for equal rights for many years. Congratulations, Kentucky!
In another win for equality, today U.S. District Judge Richard Young struck down Indiana's ban on marriage for same-sex couples. Because the judge did not stay the ruling, the Indianapolis Star reports that couples can begin getting married right away.
Not a single state marriage ban has been able to withstand a challenge in federal court in the wake of the Supreme Court's 2013 decision in United States v. Windsor, which struck down part of DOMA.
Congratulations, Indiana!
Another day, another discriminatory ban struck down. Today a federal judge ruled in Whitewood v. Wolf that Pennsylvania's 1996 ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. This victory for marriage equality follows closely on the heels of the striking of Oregon's ban only yesterday and makes Pennsylvania the 19th state allowing same-sex couples to marry.
Congratulate Pennsylvanians by sharing our graphic below:

Skip to content, or skip to search.
He thinks he's responsible for Mitt Romney's win in Nevada.
Two really rich men battle for dominance.
Nobody seems to know! It's madness!
Here he goes again.
The question isn't whether a third-party candidate will impact the 2012 elections, but how many of them will.
He only received support from one percent of the population, but still.
Now he can run for president as an independent candidate.
The venerable journalist tells David Letterman why she picked Donald Trump and the Kardashians.
Seriously, what do we have to do to get one of these?
Trump has pulled out of this own debate.
Trump's perception of his own influence is a thing to behold.
He's a humble man.
Of the two competitive candidates, Newt Gingrich now stands alone.
And he's not bad.
Or its "circus-like atmosphere."
Will serious people show up?
Huh. From far away, it looks like Tim Gunn might be in the new Men in Black movie.
He's still not totally sure about Obama's birth certificate, though.
The Donald continues to play the field with the GOP candidates.

The Best Museums in France
A list of the most visited museums in France, with pictures. For some, "the most popular" means "the best", and these are definitely some of the most famous French museums. Top museums are often major tourist attractions, and can be a museum of natural history, art, science, or many others. Early museums were collections owned by private individuals. Whether these collections were open to the public was up to the owner. Today, museums are institutions dedicated to the study and exhibition of art, artifacts, and other objects of importance. One can only imagine the collections necessary to make the museums on this list some of the most popular in the world.

Receiving medications on your doorstep can be a wonderful option. But is it safe?
Mail-order is a completely safe and viable option, as long as your prescriptions and medicinal needs stay consistent from month to month, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
Of course, there are pros and cons. The pros:
Items come directly to your door.
The cons:
If you're starting any new medication, the ADA recommends that you first buy it in person so you can ask your pharmacist questions. If you find that the new drug works for you and you'll be on it for awhile, then you can switch to mail-order.
If you would like to try mail-order, your health insurance company will have more information on whether they provide it and how to sign up.

1001 Bissonnet
Houston, TX 77005
Category: Movie Theaters
Region: Kirby-West U
The documentary shorts nominated for the Academy Awards this year wrestle with hardship and mortality. Linked by their shared interest in struggles to survive, the docs are being screened as part of 2012 Academy Award Nominated Short Films (Documentary). These nonfiction shorts shine a light on universal issues of suffering, solace and the strength it takes to overcome adversity. The first-person account of a 15-year-old homeless girl, Inocente is a powerhouse. While working on art for an exhibit that might lead to a better future, she grapples with a mother who years earlier tried to kill her. It's an affecting and endearing portrait of a girl whose voice deserves to be heard. Also on the program are Open Heart, about Rwandan children making an epic trip to seek heart surgery in the Sudan, and Mondays at Racine, the story of cancer-stricken women searching for companionship and catharsis at a local beauty shop. Kings Point, which chronicles the lives of retired Florida senior citizens coping with old age and loss, and Redemption, a look at New York City ''canners'' (scavengers who collect cans and bottles to redeem for money), complete the lineup.

I find it interesting that this group is now criticizing the government for not intervening on its behalf, considering the fact that if it had consulted the State Department's website about these matters before this humanitarian "mission", this controversy could probably have been avoided. The whole thing reeks — I just find it really hard to believe that it didn't occur to anyone who was on this "mission" that they should have dotted all their "Is" and crossed all their "Ts" before trying to transport children out of the country; especially considering Haiti's history with child trafficking. No one can be that naive.
Boy, TW. remind me not to ask you for help during the next catastophe.
These children were hurt, hungry and needed help. That they should die because of border politics is a far greater evil then a group of philantropists that didn't file the correct paperwork in a country wracked by a catastrophe.
How obscene that a country was a barely function beauracracy before the earthquake and a practically non-existent government after, can find enough beauracrats to prosecute aid-givers. It's disgusting and if some grandstanding opportunistic prosecuter wants to sabotague the humanitarian efforts in order to bring attention to himself, then I think the Obama Administration needs to exert a little pressure to balance this inequity.
Frank Page should be talking with that church in Idaho not pointing fingers at the Obama administration. In fact why don't they come out and admit the group was wrong? Is it because of religious politics?
The jailed Baptists are far from philanthropists. From all the written and video accounts it's difficult to understand how they define humanitarian since the only aid they seemingly gave was helping themselves to other people's children.
The opportunist was and still seems to be the leader of the group. Her own church should have paid more attention before they stamped their approval on the trip and the two women who created the organization in late November. The other members of the group also followed her blindly and took other people's children, paid no attention to the law, and from the group's own notes they now admit she misled the whole bunch.
And now the SBC wants to blame the Obama administration for not correcting their wrongs? We conservatives want the government to stay out of our business, bash the Obama administration at every turn and then blame them when we mess up in Jesus' Name?
I think the local church needs to admit they were wrong, the SBC should apologize to its members, change their own policy for missions, and the State Dept and Obama admin should stay out of this.
There are plenty of religious and secular humanitarians who have followed the laws and given/sent aid to Haiti for a lot longer than this little group whose leader tried to hide behind a good church's trust.
Using a catastrophe and the Name of Jesus is to take other people's children is obscene.
((The group, mostly from Idaho, was arrested trying to take as many as 100 Haitian children across the border to the Dominican Republic.))
The Christian nut jobs kidnapped children and tried to smuggle them into another country. Reap what you sew. By asking the president to get involved and have these people released, the evangelicals are asking our government to back their Christian extremism as policy.
I bet the parents of these children are outraged and rightfully so. What if a bunch of foreigners came kidnapped your kids and called it God's Will?
I want to know who had this brilliant idea?
Who paid for these people to go to Haiti to commit this crime?
Quit pointing a finger at Haiti and start pointing a finger at the churches that sponsor this lunacy.
((Richard Land ""is certainly going to further alienate the Obama administration from evangelicals."))
No, under the guise of providing humanitarian aid during a catastrophe, these Evangelicals went into a country and kidnapped 100 children and tried to smuggle them into another country.
If anything, Evangelicals have further alienated themselves from the majority of this country that finds these zealots actions to be appalling.
The best part is that even if Obama donned a cape and flew in to rescue those zealot Christian warriors from the justice they've earned, Evangelicals would still spit when they said his name.
((Page said in an interview. "We do respect Haiti's law…))
Supporting the kidnapping of children for religious reasons under the pretense of providing humanitarian aid is not respect for the law.
Once again Evangelical Christians in our nation have decided that their Biblical tenets supersede the laws of the land.
It's tragic what's happening in Haiti, maybe we could get jobs here by sending some of our people over there to live and help build. But this lady, was doing something to help and now the media is trying to tar and feather her, here is the proof
It's worth the read
To itsMEdiaexploitBlack
First off your link is to Wendy Phillips BLOG on WordPress dot com. It's a blogging website, not a media agency. Wendy Phillips is entitled to express her opinion on the matter in her own personal blog.
Second off, I agree with Mrs. Phillips in her assessment of the Evangelical Christians role in the situation. Laura Silsby and the Central Valley Baptist church raised money and condoned these actions.
Thirdly, the help you speak so fondly of involved the kidnapping of 33 children in an attempt to try and smuggle them into another country. Some of these children did have parents and were confused about where they were going.
Can you imagine the outrage if foreigners came into the poorest parts of our nation, took 33 children or even just 1 child and smuggled them to Canada under the guise of pleasing Allah.
I'm sorry but Mrs. Silsby and her band of kidnappers are pleading ignorance of the law and declaring their actions to be the will of God.
Here's the churches flyer from Pastor Clint for a prayer vigil supporting Laura Silsby, Charissa Coulter, Carla Thompson, Nicole Lankford, Corinna Lankford in their efforts to relocate children from Haiti.
Don't believe me. Then contact Jeannette Henry at (208) 884-0264 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here's a sound bite that the church endorses, "…natural disasters should challenge us in our
mission. Again, life is short. People are dying and going to hell. Preach the gospel!"
I am familiar with the Bethany group that was mentioned in one of the comments of the blog post you provided. The Bethany group in Louisiana is part of a Mega-church that is located in Baton Rouge Louisiana. You can't miss this showboating congregation because they have three crosses on their estate that stand at a hundred plus feet tall. For years this group has put a stranglehold on the local politic with their enormous voting bloc.
Again the irony is that these same Evangelical Christians want Obama to bail them out of serious situation of their own making. I'm sorry, but they kidnapped children.
These children were hurt, hungry and needed help
How does kidnapping children and whisking them off to another country help?
Okay…let's rewind back to Hurricane Katrina.
Would it have been okay if foreigners came to New Orleans and relocated needy children to Canada or Mexico without the consent of anyone?
How would you react if you found out that it was a local Islamic Temple that just gave the children over to their fellow believers?
What would you believe if these same folks told you that they didn't feel it was necessary to adhere to the laws of our nation because they were doing the will of their God?
What would you say if our president just sent these kidnappers home and called it a simple misunderstanding?
What would you say if the national leader of these kidnappers jumped in and demanded the Katrina kidnappers be released for no other reason than…just because they didn't know no better?
The Christian Right in the United States would foam at the mouth if someone did to them what they have done to others. Heck…everyone would.
Let these people be tried in the land where they committed the crime…yes a crime. Their goal was to capture children, bring them to another country, indoctrinate them into their religion and then pawn them off for a healthy sum of money.
Just think about it , how many childless couples are willing to pay a good for adopting a child ,even illegally .
There is money to be made by some inscrupulous individuals .
They did not have to take those chilren out of the country . Just providing shelter and food , if they wanted to provide real help .
why are our americans still there what with the help we constantly give these haitians ?1 Whocares if they want to make an orpanage? let them if they want to help. My policy is to help a haitian but barely because they will always stab you in the back.
I agree with the comment and use of the Katrina analogy above. News reports now claim all ten will be released because for some reason intent trumps criminal acts. Imagine how all those Americans whose good intentions caused them to respect the laws of Haiti and the unwritten laws of decency must feel. Those who went through the proper legal channels wasted their time if the Haiti judge declares the Idaho Ten are innocent. Why those law abiding families could have scooped up kids, made a run for the border, and then pleaded good intentions and innocence by virtue of ignorance. Laura S. even tried to take a Kentucky couple, the Pickett's, adopted children from an orphanage in Haiti after being told to leave them alone. And now with the help of the lawyers and who knows, maybe even the SBC letter and letters to the State Dept, this woman will walk out of jail and have the last laugh. What would stop her or the Idaho Ten from doing the same again?
Sorry about formatting. Using cell.——————-Sam, I don't know enough about Haitians to agree or disagree but you made me realize something. —————— There are plenty of kids and families right here in the U.S.A. and in my state, county and town that need help. That's a better use of money than is begging others for cash just to waste it on lawyers for a get out of jail free card.——————- Everyone who gave to that Idaho Ten has nothing to show for it.——————– Might have been better spent in their own neighborhoods.————— Charity should start at home.
This is a sad case of power vs. law. These ten by our law in the United States would be found guilty at the least of conspiracy to commit criminal activites. This case is showing that money trumps. Because our country is aiding the Haitians financially doesn't mean we could do as we please with them. Then to have the US government to involve themselves in this case is supremecy at best. I'm not racist, but I do question what would have happened if these missionaries were black. Would the government have gotten involved?
As a preacher of the Gospel, we preach follow the laws of the land as long as they don't contridict or interfere with the Word of God. God wouldn't have given missionaries the charge to go to foreign countries and illegaly take their children out of their lands…
I pray that justice would be served… and that right would out weigh politics and money.
Well said Rev.
I am Christian and I find this whole incident appalling. I can't reconcile what they did, nor how their church and the SBC see nothing wrong with kidnapping, with Christianity or the law.
Well the the group is soon to be released.
What a sad lesson to be learned from all this. Politics and lawyers can get anyone out of any criminal situation if there is enough money involved.
The apparent message we are being sent from Haiti, from the groups' lawyers (including their U.S. lawyers), and even the Idaho churches involved is that if you go to Haiti do as you please, take whatever or whomever you wish, just bring with enough money for lawyers and (likely) payoffs to the locals. The key is to just claim good intentions. No laws to interfere with criminal actions, just intent (and a good sum of cash).
No more money from me to Haiti. Not with all this corruption, when as Rev. wrote above, Americans can do as they please in Haiti and the U.S. government will somehow get them off for their "kidnapping for Jesus". It's just a little too coincidental that just after Mr. Clinton's visit, shortly after a letter to Pres. Obama, not long after Mrs. Clinton calls for American lawyers to help, that the Haitian judge suddenly decides kidnapping is not against the law if intentions are good.
A local family went through legal avenues to adopt 3 children from Haiti and followed the laws of the U.S.A. and Haiti. They didn't do a drive-by as these Baptists (they aren't missionaries) did. It took quite some time for their adoptions to finalize. Coulda saved themselves years of paperwork and the drudgery of following the laws by just taking those kids as this group did. After all, American lawyers (and probably bribes to the locals) would come to the rescue.
Those who gave Laura Silsby's group have nothing to show for it. Not one kid got fed, or clothed, or cared about during this whole mess. The spotlight was smack on Laura Silsby. She would probably make a good cult leader she's duped so many people recently and in her past (see Idahostatesman.com). Parents watch your money and your children, that woman will soon be free!
I wish someone in the media would do an in depth investigative piece into this whole incident.
I am sure that these 10 Baptists are rather unhappy with what happened. The truth is, they had two warnings, prior to their arrest, that taking children out of the country would be illegal. On January 26, three days before their arrest, these Christians were stopped with 40 kids they were attempting to take into the Dominican Republic. Those kids were removed from the bus and the missionaries were allowed to go without charges.
I am sure these Christians thought they were doing good. Maybe they better reevaluate their actions. I feel sorry for them for their situation. They were warned and could have avoided everything that has happened to them.
It is very sad how so many people are passing judgement on these 10 missionaries. The people who are complaining most about them, are people who sit at home, on their behinds, and watch to see what is happening on their T.V. screens. Most of them know nothing about the politics and laws (or lack of) in Haiti. They have not picked up one historical or literary book on Haiti, they have very few if any friends from Haiti, and I am certain they know nothing about the "Real" International Human Trafficking. The Missionaries were well intended people, Humanitarians who want to help their fellow man. If more religous people were also Humanitarians this world would be a better place. Now that so many caring people see how much danger is involved in trying to help those who are suffering in underprivileaged countries, less and less humanitarians will offer their physical service, because they now see how awful these well doers are being treated. I have yet heard any of these unenlightened armchair commentors, focus on the real human traffickers who have been in operations internationally for decades. The real traffickers love the fact that the focus is taken off of them, and onto these helpless missionaries making life miserable for them. Naive as the Missionaries may be, I feel that they meant well. I pray they come home very soon, and remain in good mental health. I also hope they don't stop doing the work they set out to do. What they have been through is enough to turn any well doers off. I am tired of hearing about the money being raised for Haiti. We all know that very little of it will reach the poor. The crooked politicians and the elite class has always stolen money from their undertclass. My problem is why the nations of the world continue to let it happen. It has always been the private people of the world, and of Haiti, that have looked out for the underprivileged of Haiti. Now they are being frightened off because of this lie. I pray for the women and children of Haiti. This International world of ignorance and self-rightousness is killing them, and turning off so many people who really care… God Help Us All!!!.

What the truth is today,

Living a life full of rage,
will lead you to a life full of sorrow.
When life gets to intense and,
the emotional roller coaster wears you down.
You have been pushed, pulled and dragged through the wringer,
smeared all over town.
Trashing something so powerful,
could haunt you in your dreams.
Hold your ground, don't back down,
stand up for what you believe.
You have been tossed aside,
like an old pair of shoes.
A personal attack, but,
you don't have a clue.

In a nut shell:A solid start by Wil Browning coupled with a five-run second inning Tuesday night helped ULM take down No. 25 Southern Miss 7-2 before a crowd of 2,012 at Warhawk Field. Jeremy Sy hit a three-run homer, Les Aulds followed with a solo shot and Joey Rapp delivered an RBI double in the offensive outburst. The loss snapped a seven-game winning streak for Southern Miss (15-4). ULM (13-6) has defeated a nationally-ranked team in each of the past four seasons. The Warhawks beat No. 28 Southern Miss and No. 34 Tulane in 2008, No. 5 Arkansas in 2009 and No. 17 Ole Miss in 2010.
Arms race: Former closer Wil Browning may have earned himself a new job as the Sunday starting pitcher. Browning, who brought a 14.14 ERA into the game, allowed six hits, walked two and fanned five in a redemptive outing. Browning left the game with no outs in the seventh after loading the bases on two walks and a single. James Jones relieved and immediately delivered a 4-6-3 double play but a run scored. A single pushed the second run of the inning before Jones ended the threat. Jones closed the final three innings, allowing one hit and fanning two for his second save.
Heavy metal: ULM had multiple home runs in a game for the first time this season when Sy and Aulds went back-to-back. Sy lofted his first ULM bomb to left while Aulds banged his solo shot over the wall in right. Caleb Know walked and Matt Laird singled to set the table for Sy, who was batting ninth in the order. The ULM shortstop went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and scored twice.
Did you catch this? Right fielder Jason Hicks moved into the fifth spot in the batting order behind Rapp with Judd Edwards sliding down to sixth. Sy moved from second to ninth with Jordy Poche hitting No. 2 on Tuesday.
Gift of grab: Second baseman Caleb Clowers made a spectacular catch in shallow right field in the sixth inning. Clowers was running toward the outfield and made the grab over his shoulder with his back facing home plate.
Weird stat of the day: All four Southern Miss losses are to Sun Belt schools. The Golden Eagles dropped two to Troy and one to Louisiana-Lafayette.
Scattered hits: ULM is averaging 1,337 in attendance through 10 home games. The season record of 926 per game was set through 31 games in 2001. .. Les Aulds has reached base safely in 19 games and has hits in 17 games. In one of those hitless games, he walked four times. … Jarrett Hammond replaced Edwards at third base in the sixth inning. … Browning showed moxie in the fifth inning after allowing back-to-back singles with two outs. He punched out cleanup hitter Adam Doleac to end the mild threat and left the mound punching air in celebration. … ULM plays host to Northwestern State Wednesday night at 6 p.m.

I recently got a new one-terrabyte external hard drive. I already have one, and my computer's hard drive is already that size, so I now have three terrabytes of disk space. It will never be enough.
After discovering that, for some reason, my computer was not really recognizing that this new external was connected to it, I decided to hold off for a week until a friend of mine could come and visit and I could ask him to take a look at it.
It's not that I'm not computer-savvy. I am. My formal computer education was very basic-level computer education in elementary school (my favorite part of which was playing The Logical Journey Of The Zoombinis). This was in the nineties. I then had a typing class in seventh grade, which was helpful . . . although, to be honest, my typing became a lot faster in eighth grade when I started using instant messenger and also began doing my non-school writing on the computer. But, like many Millennials, particularly those of us born in the eighties (in my case, the late eighties), most of my knowledge of computers is self-taught. I consider myself competent with computers. I can hook them up, open them up to clean them, find files, etc. In some circles, I would be considered computer-illiterate, as I am not, say, a programmer. Compared to my mother, who, when she last had me look at her laptop, had two recycling bin icons on her very cluttered desktop, I am one of those unrealistically competent hackers in movies and on television* who can access anything on any computer.
Why did I wait to have my friend look at it before I did? Because he knows more about computers than I do. I'm not ignorant about them, but he is more likely to know something than I am. Instead of solving this particular problem for myself, which would have taken maybe fifteen minutes of trial-and-error (the solution being very simple), I waited a week for a friend of mine to look at it because I just felt …

This PDA will demonstrate integrated development of water infrastructure by (i) piloting a program of awareness on water tariffs including the public consultation processes and (ii) piloting a sustainable system of peer-to-peer training across counties targeting women and children on environmental health and sanitation awareness.
Chongqing Municipal Government has received project preparatory technical assistance from ADB and prepared the Chongqing Urban-Rural Infrastructure Development Demonstration Project. The project aims to improve selected roads and water supply infrastructure in eight districts and counties.
Water shortage is a serious challenge in rural Chongqing affecting health and limiting economic growth, due to poor water infrastructure and surface water contamination. The project will improve water supply infrastructure in eight districts and counties. While this effort will provide the infrastructure and capacity building needed to provide clean water, maintenance of the improvements in the future will depend on an adequate tariff structure and long term health benefits will require changes in behavior and understanding with regard to health and sanitation among beneficiaries.
The PDA is expected to improve understanding of and participation in the water tariff consultations and a network of peer-to-peer training providing improved knowledge and awareness about health and hygiene and water services to rural women, children and communities.

Murdoch should step down as chairman
Hermes Equity Ownership Services said it will withhold support for all three Murdochs on the media group's board
By Steve O'Neill | CFO UK | Published 15:31, 14 October 11
The time is right for Rupert Murdoch to step down as chairman of News Corporation and for a new independent replacement to be appointed, according to one of the media conglomerate's investors.
Pension fund investor Hermes Equity Ownership Services said on Friday that it intends to withhold its support for the three Murdochs on the News Corp board, namely Rupert and his two sons James and Lachlan, at an upcoming AGM.
Hermes made clear that the phone-hacking scandal involving the group's British newspaper subsidiary News International had prompted it to enhance its scrutiny of governance and boardroom composition at the business.
"News Corp has not reacted with sufficient urgency to investor concerns about its board composition and corporate culture," said Hermes director Jennifer Walmsley in a statement.
"The time is right for the company to appoint an independent chairman to rebuild trust, help correct the governance discount, and ensure that the interests of all investors are properly represented."
The scale of influence held by members of the Murdoch family at News Corp has long been a source of concern among investors, with Rupert Murdoch established as both chairman and CEO and his son James widely regarded, at least until recently, as his heir apparent.
As well as the three Murdochs, Hermes said it will not support directors "affiliated" with the family and pointed to Arthur Siskind, listed as a senior advisor to the chairman and Andrew Knight, the non-executive chairman, in this context.
The pension investor's statements came ahead of an AGM on 21 October and its governance requests included the appointment of "credible outside directors" as well as a "genuinely independent chair".

Jackie Evancho performs with our Marin Symphony on Friday, November 15, 2013
Jackie Evancho took a few moments out of her busy schedule to tell us about some of her experiences and anticipation leading up to her first performance in Marin with our Symphony on Friday, November 15th at 8:00 p.m.
I discovered music when I was 8 years old. I know right then and there that it's something I have a great passion for. I like classical crossover, as well as pop music.
It's such a wonderful experience and a great honor, each and every time; to be accompanied by an orchestra. There is nothing like standing in front of a live orchestra and creating great music. I did my first concerts with a live orchestra soon after I came off America's Got Talent.
I loved performing in Japan! I loved performing in Japan! I did few concerts in Tokyo, and a concert in Hiroshima. It was an amazing experience. I haven't been to Marin before, but I'm excited about the trip!
On the day of a show I do my schooling in the morning and then a vocal warm up before I walk on sate. It's great getting ready for a show and putting on the wonderful dress! While traveling, I study online every day.
Along with my career as a performer, I really like sewing, spending time with my siblings and friends, and also my pets!
Jackie Evancho's first performance on NBC's variety show "America's Got Talent" left audiences and judges astonished that such a perfect, beautiful, soprano voice could come from a 10 year-old girl. During her next appearance in the competition, judges asked Jackie to improvise a tune which she performed flawlessly. It wasn't just her musical gift and her age that floored the "America's Got Talent" audience, but Jackie's presence, poise and charm that truly made them take notice. One of the show's judges, Piers Morgan, explained, "You've got the whole package."
The young soprano from Pittsburgh with the stunning voice won runner-up and launched her soon-to-be legendary career, signing with Columbia Records shortly thereafter.
"She is a prodigy; they break the rules by definition," wrote music critic Andrew Duckenbrod in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after seeing a then-11 year old perform to a sold-out crowd in her hometown in October, 2011. "[Her] voice mesmerizes. She has become one of the performers who has been defining the "crossover classic" category of singers—those who are equally comfortable with Puccini or pop."
In a little over two years, Jackie's unique, gorgeous, soprano voice has won her millions of fans and her recordings have dominated the music and DVD charts. Now 13, Jackie has garnered the support of legendary music producers like David Foster and filmmakers such as Robert Redford. Billboard Magazine named Jackie to their list of music movers-and-shakers under the age of 21 in 2011 and again in 2012 because the soprano's "spellbinding, operatic vocals possess a power and poignancy that often moves listeners multiple times her age to tears."
Jackie's debut EP, O Holy Night, was released in November 2010 and became the year's #1 best-selling debut recording with sales exceeding 1 million copies and earning her a platinum certification. In June 2011, Jackie released her first studio album, Dream With Me. A mix of operatic arias, show tunes and pop standards, it debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart at #2 and was certified Gold after only four weeks of release. Heavenly Christmas, was released in November 2011 and became one of the top-selling holiday albums of the year.
Jackie has participated in the lighting of the National Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C., where she sang—and delighted—President and Mrs. Obama. Two months later, she was again invited to perform for the President and Congressional leaders during the National Prayer Breakfast.
In early 2012, Jackie was selected to travel to Russia to perform in front of 100,000 people prior to the opening of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. Jackie, representing the United States, was honored to sing with two opera stars, Dmitri Hvorostovsky of Russia and Sumi Jo of Korea. Jackie's fan base also extends to Japan, where she was invited to perform for the Royal Family at the Imperial Palace. She tours regularly with the Tokyo Philharmonic to sold out venues.
Her U.S. shows are also sell-outs and have been taped for broadcast on PBS for the Great Performances series. Jackie's first PBS special was one of the top pledge producing performances in PBS' history. When PBS aired Dream With Me In Concert during the latter half of 2011, it instantly became one of their most broadcast programs of the year and was used extensively during pledge drives.
She was asked to do another show for the Great Performance series in 2012: Jackie Evancho: Music of the Movies which features Jackie singing classic songs from movies as diverse as "South Pacific" (Some Enchanted Evening), "Titanic" (My Heart Will Go On) and "Cinema Paridiso (Se). It premiered in August on PBS stations around the country and will be rebroadcast in the months ahead (check local listings).
Capping off an incredible year, Jackie released her third studio album, Songs From The Silver Screen, on October 2, 2012. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Classical charts and at #7 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart.
Most recently, Jackie has tried her hand at both acting and modeling. She made her acting debut in "The Company You Keep." Legendary actor/director/producer Robert Redford cast Jackie to play his daughter in the thriller scheduled to be released April 2013. "I am so happy that Mr. Redford picked me to be in his film. And I am excited to learn from performers that are amazing at what they do," says Jackie, who will be part of a star-studded cast that includes Susan Sarandon, Shia LaBeouf, Anna Kendrick, Terrance Howard, Nick Nolte and Stanley Tucci.
Off screen, Jackie was selected by GUESS owner, Paul Marciano, to star in both the Fall 2012 and Fall 2013 GUESS Kids clothing campaigns. "I have had so much fun and done so many challenging things this year. But while I really enjoyed all the traveling and the acting and had such a great time posing in all those great clothes for GUESS, singing is still the thing I love the most," said Jackie.
This March Jackie performed as part of an unprecedented Cirque du Soleil extravaganza at the Bellagio's "O" Theatre to support "One Night for One Drop" on World Water Day. For the first time ever, all Cirque du Soleil shows closed their doors in order for 200 performers to collaborate in the once-in-a-lifetime show. Jackie starred as the show's special guest and participated in a breathtaking water and aerial performance.
Looking back, Jackie says her desire to perform was born after her family saw the film version of "The Phantom of the Opera" when she was just seven years old. The film made such a lasting impression on Jackie that the showstopper "Music of the Night" was the first song she selected for Songs From The Silver Screen.
It's not the sort of dramatic tune that other pre-teen singers would pick to record, but Jackie's understanding of classical phrasing, her perfect pitch and diction continually allow her to tackle difficult music that is far beyond the ability of her peers.

Old Crow Medicine Show didn't count on the runaway success of its 2004 song "Wagon Wheel." In fact, say members Ketch Secor and Critter Fuqua, the Nashville band was just trying to finish a job Bob Dylan had started. The song became a favorite of Lt. Leevi Barnard who has become the object of the title track, "Levi", from their most recent CD.
Wagon Wheel - my fave.

text: I contacted Mistress Eibhlin (the cheese laurel) yesterday about this question. She suggested: Mascarpone is a good assumption. Another possibility would be sour cream or a clotted cream. We have more records on the hard cheeses from this are than of the soft/fresh ones. That recipe sounds really good! Eibhlin I asked about ricotta and she wrote back: Not really wrong, but the texture doesn't really match what I interpretted from the description. I find that in many cases where the recipe mentions buttery or milky cheese that a cheese with a similar texture works better. Ricotta is a pretty grainy cheese because it's cooked to a high temperature. Mascarpone, sour cream, and clotted cream are allowed to curd at much lower temps so you have a very different flavor and mouth-feel with the final product. Eibhlin So maybe a fresh mascarpone which I understand we can't get here due to import restrictions.
