San Francisco, Cali. -- (CSN Bay Area) The "Batkid," also known as 5 year-old Miles Scott from Tulelake was at the ballpark Tuesday in San Francisco to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Giants home opener.
He arrived on the field at AT&T park in dramatic fashion, behind the wheel of a sleek Ferrari-style bat-mobile.
Scott's Batkid personae was born last year when Miles, a leukemia patient, wanted to be a super hero for a day and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the people of San Francisco, all took up the cause.
Now, the Batkid has become a "real" local hero.

Comments On Feb 22, 2015:Product did its job. all aluminum made it a little slipperier but the added leverage made it much easier then the stock

Comments On Dec 26, 2014:This is the second one we purchased for my wife's second ATV. She first tried it out at the Elsinore Grand Prix and loved it! She did not get thumb fatigue and she is now ready to use it for WORCS racing! Only problem is the metal is slippery but we wrap our thumb throttles with Hocky tape to improve grip in wet in dry conditions.

Comments On Jan 03, 2013:Highly recommend this product. My wife used to get a cramped thumb after 20 minutes of riding her YFZ450. I got this in the hopes that the increased leverage would help. Worked great and she can now ride all weekend long with no thumb issues. Pay close attention when you dissasemble the old throttle - you'll need to remember the order of the washers and bushings for the install.

Andrew Leddy is an English teacher at Springbrook High School in Silver Spring. He was interviewed at the school Sept. 25.
In an email you sent, you stressed the importance of reading for high school students. You wrote, "Simply put, we are in the midst of a reading and knowledge crisis." Can you tell me more about this?
[The students] are not reading, they simply don't read. So I created a Springbrook Reading List. Last spring I asked every English teacher: tell me what you think are the most important books [for students] to read in high school. There were 18 teachers. This list is limited to novels. We need another for plays, poems and speeches.
So you turned the list into a poster [listing 60 books] and that is in every classroom?
The English Department created the graphic. The larger the type size [on the poster], the more frequently the novel title was mentioned by teachers.
This isn't an absolute, its representing a real nice foundation in literature, a core of books we think are really important.
Have you presented this to your class?
Oh yeah! The problem is, it's as though they didn't know these books were out there. What I didn't want was for a kid to get out of school and say nobody ever told me to read. If they look at all the people who made this list and talk to them about it or ask why, that's a start. My biggest problem is boys, they just don't read. As a teacher I know they are cutting themselves short, stunting their progress.
Do you think the schools are ignoring reading for STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Math]?
Sure we do. I really think we need to up our requirements and give them more reading of the classics and emphasize writing on what they read.
Do you have a favorite book on this list?
So much of what I'm into is things that are culturally significant. When they miss reading them they miss out on cultural allusions. Take Frankenstein [by Mary Shelley]. The idea of an experiment overtaking us. That's relevant when you talk about science, genetically modified seed. It seems small but I think it's big, the beginning of industrial agriculture, worries and fears. At the end it's just a great chase story. Who is the monster? The creator or the created?
What is your plan for the list?
At Back to School Night get every English teacher to talk about it. I want this to be schoolwide, to get parents to know the way to get into IB [International Baccalaureate] and AP [Advanced Placement], you need to read. I only have 45 minutes a day [with the students] so it's about impressing on the student the need to read.
I read a lot of books, one is "The Shallows" [by Nicholas Carr] about what the Internet is doing to our brains, another is "The Dumbest Generation" [by Mark Bauerlein]. The evidence is that despite all the information [young people] have at their hands, they aren't smart.
I don't want to be Chicken Little here, but I don't want to understate it either.
So what is the role of parents?
I can't say it enough, parents need to be impressing upon students how important [reading] is. I defy the world to find a Nobel Laureate that did not start off with books. It's about curiosity, it's of enormous cultural importance, it's a big deal. Everybody is saying they are going to college but I can say they would do much better [in college] if they start here.
Is this a new mission for you?
In a sense it is. I'm getting really worried about this generation. We're not getting the best citizens we could have. I would like to challenge other teachers, other schools, to come up with their own lists. It would be interesting to see [them], every school would be different.

I'm an Episcopalian, an Anglican. That means that, following the lead of our seminal theologian Richard Hooker (1554-1600), I look at religious questions from three perspectives using three sources of authority: Holy Scripture, tradition, and reason. On the question of whether the committed, loving relationships of couples of the same sex should be blessed by the church and recognized by the state, the scriptural perspective is usually the only one the opponents of "same-sex marriage" address. They have been answered adequately on many occasions by others much more able to debate scripture than I am. Based on their analyses, I am satisfied that the Bible does not condemn homosexual relationships. It condemns perversion of human relationships, but that is quite a different thing. There is nothing perverted about two people (whatever their sexes may be) committing themselves to a life-long, mutually supportive, loving, and committed union.
In this essay, I shall examine marriage and the sacrament of matrimony from the standpoint of tradition, starting with two observations about marriage in the Christian church. The first is from an historian and Episcopal theologian, the Rev. Dr. Earl H. Brill:
"Marriage is a universal human institution. It exists in every society, in every age. Can we, then, speak in any meaningful sense of Christian marriage? If by that term is meant something unique and exclusive, something significantly different from marriage as other human communities conceive it, than the answer must be No. But the answer is Yes if we mean merely that the Christian community maintains a particular view of marriage, even though it may be shared by many outside the Christian fold. Christians look at marriage from the perspective of certain presumptions about what marriage ought to be.
"We have to concede that our view of marriage is historically conditioned. It has changed with time, mostly for the better, we believe." (The Christian Moral Vision, Seabury Press, New York: 1979, p. 97; italics in original)
The second is from a Roman Catholic scholar, Dr. Joseph Martos, former director of the Russell Institute of Religion and Ministry at Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky:
"Relatively early in the history of Christianity, marriage was regarded as a sacrament in the broad sense, but it was only in the 12th Century that it came to be regarded as a sacrament in the same sense as baptism and the other official sacraments. In fact, before the 11th Century there was no such thing as a Christian wedding ceremony and throughout the Middle Ages there was no single church ritual for solemnizing marriages between Christians. It was only after the Council of Trent, because of the need to eliminate abuses in the practice of private marriages, that a standard Catholic wedding rite came into existence." (Doors to the Sacred, Doubleday, New York: 1982, p. 399)

I felt Moore and really that Pat Devlin should have been the starter, but by that unwritten rule, I felt Moore earned the job last year, so he should have been the starter by default.
I just don't understand how we draft a rookie wide/receiver QB and somehow pressure him to be our savior and learn on the job.
I was satisfied Moore's performance last year.
Had Moore started and we lost, then I feel it promotes Tannehills success.
If we win, well we want to make sure Tannehill gets well.
In other words, the Dolphins had every excuse to start Moore and save face.
Now we have a QB controversy as someone predicted earlier in week.

Can 'mindfulness' help you focus?
Annie Murphy Paul, Time Ideas: If there's any time when we should be paying close attention to what we're doing, it's when we're under pressure to perform — whether taking a test like the SAT or on a deadline at work. But too often, our minds wander even in these crucial moments — distracted by a ticking clock or consumed with worries about how well we're doing or how much time we have left.
Jonathan Schooler, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, wondered if instruction in mindfulness — the capacity to focus on the here and now…

Gallery: Underground Skyscraper is a Self-Sufficient Desert City
An entry in next year's eVolo Skyscraper Competition, the inverted skyscraper is a completely self-sufficient underground city capable of producing its own food and energy and creating a climate-controlled environment in the middle of the desert. From above, the skyscraper and open pit are completely covered by a dome faceted with skylights. Over time, the dome covering the hole in the ground will blend in with the surrounding environment.
Below ground is a 900 foot-deep skyscraper that contains areas for living, working, farming, and even recreation. A light rail system connects the self-sufficient community to the nearby town of Brisbee, and solar and wind energy will be generated. Daylighting will stream in though the skylights to light up the lower parts of the tower, and the entire structure acts as a solar chimney that ushers hot air out through the top of the dome. As the entire complex is located underground, it will not be subjected to the intense heat that above-grade buildings face in the desert. Growing terraces near the top soak up the light from the skylights to grow produce for the entire complex.

I agree with Dick. Location, Location, Location. Convincing people to live out there in the remote, often harsh environments where those pits are would be a marketer's nightmare. I could see data center campuses of programmers, techs, etc latching onto that idea. But convincing them to move from Palo Alto, Seattle, and the Washington D.C. tech beltway to the rural Appalachian, and Nevada mine pits would be tough. `But from a corporate boardroom perspective, it might sell as the next evolution from the corporate campus. Still it would take a critical mass of cultural and business venues to make it work. Could they rival those amenities found in the cities, where current tech enterprises are based? I doubt it.
As far as retirees as dwellers? Convincing them to move out of "The Pines, Subdivision IV" as portrayed in Seinfeld might also take some inculturation.

Very cool. While I think it's doubtful that you would ever find enough people to inhabit such a skyscraper (mines are usually in remote areas), this is a great green concept.
It reminds me of another green architecture story I saw regarding "living walls." http://www.greenforum.com/green-news-informative-articles/1968-home-tour-venice-addition-made-three-living-walls.html

In the roleplaying game Over the Edge, game designer Robin D. Laws hypothesized an airport in the shape of an inverted ziggurat, an architectural marvel no one could explain. Secretly, the builders of the airport constructed it underground. The inverted ziggurat was just an empty shell hiding the real structure underground.

FDA, as part of its effort to promote public health, is currently studying consumer reaction to "added sugars" listed separately from "sugars" on the panel. Several consumer groups would also like added sugars to be listed separately on the Nutrition Facts panel to help consumers understand the ingredients included in their food and beverages.
Ochratoxin and aflatoxin are naturally-occurring mycotoxins formed under the certain conditions by particular types of molds, particularly certain species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. These molds may be found in many types of commodities such as grains, beans, coffee, vine fruits, nuts and spices. Sometimes very low levels may be found in food products including cocoa and cocoa products.
The confectionery industry makes every effort to protect consumers with food allergies through labeling as well as comprehensive food safety systems.
Ammonia hydroxide is sometimes used in the confectionery industry in dutch processed cocoa.
Although many nations and U.S. states see an excise tax on candy and soda as a way to decrease the prevalence of obesity in the United States, they actually fail to achieve this goal. Instead, they place an unnecessary burden on businesses because the of costs to administer these taxes. The most up-to-date tax rates for candy can be found here.
The risk of choking on a food product is multi-faceted and is not dependent only on food. Any object small enough to lodge in the throat, including many non-food items, can present a choking hazard. NCA and the confectionery industry feels very strongly about protecting the health and well-being of children and strive to make products safe for everyone.
The U.S. chocolate and cocoa industry seeks to ensure that cocoa is grown in a responsible, sustainable manner, and that cocoa-farming families have the skills and resources necessary to support their farms.
Colors are an important component of many foods, including confections. Colors provide distinguishing characteristics, flavor recognition and visual appeal, and colors have been regularly added to foods for decades. All food colors used in food production in the U.S. are carefully produced to meet stringent FDA requirements and are safe for human consumption.
In 2009, the U.S. passed legislation requiring country-of-origin labeling on meat and meat products to better inform consumers of the supply chain origins. In 2011 Canada and Mexico brought a dispute before the World Trade Organization against U.S. COOL requirements. In May of 2013 the U.S. implemented new regulations in an effort to comply with WTO obligations; Canada and Mexico contend the new requirements are now even more onerous than before. The WTO is expected to make a ruling in 2014 to determine whether current U.S. measures are WTO-compliant. Retaliatory tariffs are expected to be implemented late 2014/early 2015, only if the WTO (a) finds the U.S. is not in compliance, and (b) authorizes Canada to retaliate.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are published every five years by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These guidelines provide evidence-based nutrition information and advice for people age two and older.
The National Confectioners Association supports the many humanitarian efforts that are needed for Ebola care and prevention efforts in the cocoa-growing communities in West Africa.
The majority of NCA companies are family-owned, small businesses. Estate taxes have a proven record of inhibiting economic expansion and employment opportunities among companies. It is critical for Congress to focus on increasing the exemption rate and reducing the tax rate with the long-term objective of repealing the estate tax.
The safety of the food supply is of utmost importance, and ensuring the safety of confectionery products is a priority for NCA and its members. The Food Safety Modernization Act, signed into law in 2011, has revolutionized the food safety system in the United states. We have gone from a reactionary approach to a preventive one with mandated food safety plans and other requirements.
In spring 2010, First Lady Michelle Obama called upon the food industry to create front-of-pack (FOP) labeling that could be easily understood by busy shoppers. Front-of-pack labels are one way to quickly communicate product information to the consumer. NCA has created a confectionery specific FOP system that brings calorie information to the front of packages so busy consumers can find calorie information easily.
The labeling of genetically engineered or modified food and food ingredients is currently of great interest to many U.S. consumers and food manufacturers, and NCA is following the debate both on the state level and the national level.
Good Manufacturing Practices are a set of requirements for food manufacturers designed to guarantee product safety and quality.
Healthcare costs have risen significantly over the past decades; however, the rising costs are unsustainable. Since 1999, employer-sponsored health care premiums have increased by nearly 120 percent. Since most NCA companies provide health benefits to their employees, these premiums are making it harder for them to operate
The U.S chocolate industry has always made every effort to provide a safe product and continues to do so; cocoa powder and chocolate are safe to eat.
Occasionally it is suggested that one way to reduce the use of tobacco products is to discourage the production of imitation tobacco candy products.
FDA regulates the labeling of all food and beverages, and NCA is dedicated to ensuring that the confectionery industry is aware of industry labeling requirements.
The confectionery industry adheres to FDA's guidance for safe levels of lead in candy.
In December 2014, the Center for Disease Control tentatively linked the reported consumption of packaged caramel apples to a recent outbreak of listeria.
The U.S. confectionery industry supports responsible marketing where children are concerned and has adopted a set of voluntary guidelines for candy manufacturers.
The Food and Drug Administration recently finalized a rule that mandates calorie labeling for "restaurant-type foods" sold in restaurants or similar establishments with 20 or more locations. This menu labeling rule is required under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.
FDA allows food comapnies to make a range of claims on food packaging. The use of the "natural" claim as recently become a hot topic due to the lack of a formal definition as to what is and what is not natural. Over the past few years there has been an increase in the number of lawsuits targeting food companies that make a "natural" claim. FDA recently rejected a request by three judges to define the term "natural". The judges are presiding over cases brought against food companies for using the "natural" claim when the consumer believes there are ingredients that would not fall into that category.
FDA has released its proposed updates to the Nutrition Facts panel in to make the information easier for consumers to understand. FDA proposed two rules: the first focuses on "reference amounts customarily consumed" and serving sizes, and the second focuses on the design of and content display in the Nutrition Facts panel.
Ochratoxin and aflatoxin are naturally-occurring mycotoxins formed under certain conditions by particular types of molds, particularly certain species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. These molds may be found in many types of commodities such as grains, beans, coffee, vine fruits, nuts and spices. Sometimes very low levels may be found in food products including cocoa and cocoa products.
Palm oil is used in a wide range of products, from margarine and chocolate to ice cream, soaps, cosmetics, and fuel for cars and power plants. Confectionery products and some chocolatey candies use palm oil as an ingredient because of its smooth, creamy texture, absence of smell, and its natural preservative effect which can extend product shelf life.
FDA has made a tentative determination that partially hydrogenated oils may no longer be considered "generally recognized as safe". The decision is not a new rule or regulation, but the start of a potentially lengthy regulatory process intended to further reduce consumption of trans fats.
Increasing obesity rates, especially among children and adolescents, have focused the attention of parents and policy makers on ways to reverse the trend, including an examination of the foods that are available in schools.
Current U.S sugar policy limits the supply and inflates the price of sugar, creating a serious business challenge for the U.S. confectionery and sugar-using industry.
Policy and professional groups, nutrition experts, and the scientific community generally agree that consumers can continue to enjoy sweetened foods and beverages when consumed as part of a balanced diet with a physically active lifestyle.
It is critical that every American have the basic resources necessary to purchase and prepare a nutritionally adequate diet.

Third-party food safety certification requests from retailers have increased in frequency following the peanut recalls of 2009; requests vary between retailers from simple good-manufacturing-practices audits to compliance with the Global Food Safety Initiative standard.

Long-time blog subscribers may recall the case of Janet Allison, who became a homeless, jobless leper because she allowed her pregnant daughter's boyfriend to move into the family home. The state of Georgia has now scaled back that residency restriction law in an effort to prevent the courts from overturning it altogether.
Georgia had lost a series of legal challenges brought by human rights activists over the nation's most draconian sex offender law. Attorney Sarah Geraghty of the Southern Center for Human Rights, which has been on the forefront of efforts to stem the tide of "fear-based" laws, gave a keynote speech about the law's inhumanity at the annual meeting of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers back in 2008.
Iowa has also scaled back some of its restrictions under pressure from courageous prosecutors in that Midwestern state. As I blogged about back in 2007, Iowa prosecutors lobbied for repeal of residency restrictions because of their negative unintended consequences of encouraging sex offenders to disappear, making them more dangerous. "Most legislators know in their hearts that the law is no good and a waste of time, but they're afraid of the politics of it," a spokesman for the Iowa prosecutors' association said at the time.

Recipe by Terri
"This tasty apple butter is a real slow cooker, but well worth the wait. Depending on the sweetness of the apples used, the amount of sugar may be adjusted to taste."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

5 1/2 pounds
apples - peeled, cored and finely chopped
4 cups
white sugar
2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon
ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon
This is definately a keeper. I used Golden Delicious apples, and put them through the food processor VERY FINE before I started. This way I didn't have any lumps, and didn't have to mess with hot butter later on. We like really spicy apple butter, so I increased the spices a little, but then added 1/2 tsp. ground allspice. I also only used about 2 cups sugar. Put it on before I went to bed, and then in the morning took the lid off and let it cook another few hours where I could watch it to get the consistancy I wanted. (I checked it by putting a spoonful on a saucer and looking after it got cold to see if there was any water separation.)
This recipe was ok, but I found that the cooking time once the lid was removed needed to be longer. I made one batch leaving the lid off for the suggested one hour and the butter was more like apple sauce. I found some suggestions from an extension service. They said To test for doneness, remove a spoonful and hold it away from
steam for 2 minutes. It is done if the butter remains mounded on the spoon. Another way to determine when the butter is cooked adequately is to spoon a small quantity onto a plate. When a rim of liquid does not separate around the edge of the butter, it is ready for canning. Also in my first batch I reduced the amount of sugar as some suggested. I think this was a mistake too. The second batch was much better using the entire 4 cups.

This is a great recipe. I had no idea it was so easy to make apple butter. I had a lot of apples on my trees this year. I love this recipe but I did try a couple of variations. I used just over one cup of sugar. I liked it better a bit tart. I cut the apples into chunks instead of small pieces and then put them in the crock-pot on high; I would add more apples as they cooked down so my crock-pot was full. I let them cook, covered on high overnight. After they got soft I removed the lid and let them cook down while I was at work (about 6 hours). Since they were in chunks the thinner liquid made them not stick and burn like a thick liquid would have. They reduced down to between 2/3 to ½ of a crock-pot. When I got home I took my immersion blender and blended them up and the thickness was just about perfect. I tried the saucer test for doneness. I put them in my sterilized jars and put them in a hot water bath for 30 minutes. Now I have my Christmas presents ready to go, cheap, fabulous and homemade! It just doesn't get any easier. I made this with pears also and it was good but not quite as good as the apple. I also tried one batch with unpeeled apples and there is a huge difference. Take the time to peel the apples. Thanks for this recipe. I ended up making about five batches and each batch made about 9 half pints.
Like other users, I found this a bit too sweet... ok, a lot too sweet. I use nice, tart Fuji apples and about a cup of sugar. Also, I find that I have to cook this down on the stove after it comes out of the crock if I want that nice, thick buttery texture, but it's worth it to start it in the crock because it gives it a sort of caramel aftertaste that's hard to get on the stove. Remember: you can burn fruit butter, but you can't overcook it! The longer you cook this stuff, the better it will be: if you get tired of it one night, put it in the fridge and cook it some more the next night! My very best batch ever was cooked over three nights and canned the third.
Another idea: If you make too much, there is a fabulous recipe for Morning Glory Muffins ( http://bread.allrecipes.com/az/morningglorymuffins.asp ) here on AllRecipes that calls for apple butter and is out of this world!
This is excellent. I used 2 cups of sugar and found that to be enough. During the last hour with the lid off the crockpot, I used my handy dandy mixer (the kind with one blade that you can use to mix various ingredients in a tall glass) to break up chunks of apple. It gave the apple butter a great smooth texture that I couldn't achieve with the whisk. I made three batches of this apple butter last year to give as gifts and I am back to this recipe to make it again this year. I was curious to see my review of this recipe from last year and discovered that I forgot to write a review! A year late but sincere just the same. I hope you give this a try. It is so easy and you will look like a pro to your family and friends. The more you give this out as gifts, the more you will hear people tell you that they have/had a relative who used to make apple butter. Enjoy!!
I replace the sugar with ~ 3/4 c. honey. It's better for you and tastes great.
An excellent recipe. Well worth the time. I did not cut the sugar, I added 2 more pounds of apples instead. I canned mine in a hot water bath, so I didn't have to put them in the freezer. Thank you for a great recipe.
Terrific, apple butter. I made this in two crocks. One batch with sugar, I cut the sugar down to 2 cups, added more cinnamon,and nutmeg. The other batch I made it sugarless,I used the herb stevia (I grow my own), added white grape juice (unsweeten) for some liquid. Both turned out great. Plan to make this again soon.

I cannot connect to WhatsApp!
If you are having problems sending or receiving messages, we recommend that you try these steps:
- Ensure that you have the latest version of WhatsApp for your phone, available here.
- Check to make sure that your phone is connected to the internet with a strong signal. Try opening a webpage.
- Check to make sure your phone is not using a WAP only connection. WhatsApp uses non-HTTP/non-web socket data channels to send and receive messages, so you will need a data plan in order to use WhatsApp on your Nokia phone. Contact your mobile provider and ask them how to allow non-HTTP/non-web socket connections on your phone. They will guide you through a process in which you will manually configure your data network and web settings.
- Check to make sure your phone is not using a proxy connection. If you are not sure your phone uses this type of connection, we recommend you contact your mobile provider and ask them.
- If you still cannot connect, try rebooting your phone.
Connection issues are usually caused by your phone settings, or problems with your internet connection or mobile provider. In most cases, internet connection problems are temporary and your messages will be sent and received as soon as you move to a place with a stronger signal.
If the steps above do not help, your mobile provider may be blocking the specific data channel that WhatsApp uses to send and receive messages. In this case, call your mobile provider and ask for steps to unblock non-HTTP/non-web socket connections. They may be able to help you configure your phone.
It's also important to consider that sometimes messages take a while to send and receive. There are many reasons a message might take a while to be delivered to the other person and only display a single check mark. For example: your friend's phone may be turned off, they may not have any data credits left, or they may be in a spot out of coverage.

Sometimes thought to be an affliction of wealthy countries, mental illness in fact causes great suffering and death in low-resource settings, including the places where PIH works. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2030, depression alone will be the leading cause of disability around the world—outpacing heart disease, cancer, and HIV.
In many poor places, the absence of care for mental and neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, and epilepsy has allowed stigma against people with these conditions to continue unchecked, discouraging people from seeking care and sometimes leading to inhumane treatment. Although effective mental health treatments exist, much of the world lacks trained mental health care providers and comprehensive health care services that address mental health conditions in conjunction with other diseases.
In partnership with the Program in Global Mental Health and Social Change and the Dr. Mario Pagenel Fellowship in Global Mental Health Delivery at Harvard Medical School, PIH is working to train care providers to treat mental disorders with safe, effective, and culturally sound programs that can be adapted for use around the world.
Delivering care and changing perceptions
Treatment, including sound medical evaluations, social assistance, psychological support, and, in some instances, medication, can help people with mental illness make dignified recoveries that transform attitudes and fear. At a growing number of sites, PIH works to deliver high-quality mental health care to people suffering from mental disorders.
In Rwanda, PIH is collaborating with the Rwandan Ministry of Health to move mental health care away from locked inpatient facilities and into the rural communities where people live. PIH/Inshuti Mu Buzima provides clinical mentoring and technical support on training, quality improvement, and technologies to improve care, all with the goal of enabling local clinicians and non-specialists to deliver high-quality mental health care.
In Haiti, after the 2010 earthquake exacerbated the existing need for formal mental health care, PIH worked to implement a community-based model of mental health care. PIH and our sister organization, Zanmi Lasante (PIH/ZL), are now expanding services across the Central Plateau and lower Artibonite region through the support of Grand Challenges Canada and the Integrated Innovations in Global Mental Health program. Informed by the understanding that there is no health without mental health, the project in Haiti aims to create a model for community-based care that integrates seamlessly with PIH/ZL's existing health care system.
PIH projects in Lesotho and Mexico are also in the process of developing their nascent mental health programs.
Mental health in an epidemic
When an epidemic of cholera broke out in Haiti in 2010, PIH launched a comprehensive response—prevention, education, treatment, and psychosocial support for more than 4,000 families affected by cholera. Because cholera was unfamiliar to Haitians and acted quickly, killing within 24 hours in some cases, the outbreak caused stigma against people who fell sick with it. People feared that caring for a sick family member would cause them to die as well. And some cholera victims felt ashamed to tell their families that they were sick because they thought they would lose standing in the community.
Father Eddy Eustache, director of ZL's psychosocial and mental health program in Haiti, led the creation of a four-session curriculum to aid psychologists working with cholera survivors. The program built on an existing group therapy format developed by PIH/ZL social workers and psychologists in 2008 to support families and young people affected by HIV and TB. The work helped to limit stigma around cholera and encourage people to seek treatment.
"Support groups enable cholera survivors to find a network of people with similar experiences who have lived through the devastating physical and emotional stress that cholera has created. It is amazing to see the change in people's perceptions of their self-worth from the first session to the fourth," said Elysee Noesil, a PIH/ZL psychologist working in central Haiti.

In an effort to make the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday travel period safer, the Indiana State Police will join approximately 250 other law enforcement agencies statewide in participating in the annual Safe Family Travel campaign. Beginning Friday, November 16th and running through Sunday, December 2nd, the Indiana State Police will conduct high visibility enforcement efforts including sobriety check points and saturation patrols looking for impaired drivers and unrestrained motorists.
In 2011, alcohol-impaired driving in Indiana was linked to 140 fatalities (an increase from 135 fatalities in 2010) and more than 2,000 injuries (a decrease from 2,183 injuries in 2010). Alcohol-impaired collisions were less than 3 percent of all Indiana crashes, but accounted for 19 percent of Indiana's 749 traffic fatalities in 2011.
To kick off the Safe Family Travel campaign troopers from the Putnamville Post will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint at an undisclosed location in Vigo County on this coming Friday, November 16.
Please help do your part to make the Thanksgiving Holiday travel period safe by observing the following safety rules:
• If you are planning to travel make sure you are well rested, a fatigued driver is a dangerous driver.
• Avoid tailgating; remember the two-second rule.
• Make sure everyone is buckled up.
• Put down the electronic devices and drive.
• MOVE OVER, SLOW DOWN for emergency and highway service vehicles.

By Dawn Cooke
This is actually a simple concept really, it's because they are completely different mediums, if you even consider tattooing an artistic medium. The same way a sculpture isn't a painting, a drawing isn't a sculpture, needlepoint isn't furniture making, a tattoo is not a painting and a painting is not a tattoo.
Many tattoo artists have attempted to combine or blur the lines between the two forms of expression. While these attempts are very impressive to people who know little or care nothing about the tradition and history of tattooing, they can sometimes go against the spirit of the trade or craft of tattooing…
I'll clarify that I am not trying to minimize the work or style of tattoo artists who do attempt to mimic the affects of paintings in their tattoos. And I'm not really talking about quality portrait tattoos either. Actually I have a great appreciation for most styles where it shows that the tattoo artists take the utmost care for their craft. I understand that artists are always "pushing the boundaries". However, just because you can do something, doesn't mean that you should.
Personally, I regard the history and tradition of tattooing above my own artistic ego. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel with my own tattoo work. If I can apply a piece for a client that will stand the test of time then that is my primary goal.
Tattooing is not a medium for me to express myself through. I use my skills and design sensibility to provide the experience and application of a tattoo to the best of my ability. Which is a constant evolution and striving for improvement. However I do choose to explore other artistic mediums for the specific purpose of personal artistic expression. I really think it is important to appreciate a medium for it's particular qualities.
Paint for example is beautiful just as a material. Oil paint, specifically, is an amazing medium also rich in history but it has such a lush texture, so buttery and seductive. With different mediums the affects that are possible are endless. You can paint on many kinds of surfaces. Tattooing is more about the process and the collaborative interaction. The process is completely different. It is not a thing of material substance. A person that wears it is the thing of material substance. A tattoo involves the puncturing of the skin of a live being, its always skin. There are not many services in public that quite compare.
As artists in general I think we are required to understand the tradition and history of the mediums we choose to use as our language. It gives our work more power and importance. Understanding our language is essential in allowing us to be better speakers.
"There is no known culture in which people do not paint pierce tattoo re-shape or simple adorn their bodies." Enid Schildkrout, Anthropologist.
