It's been over ten years since Big was killed. I grieved for him for a very long time. And then, as time passed, the icy wall of grief surrounding my heart began to thaw and I began to heal.

It's been over ten years since Big was killed. I grieved for him for a very long time. And then, as time passed, the icy wall of grief surrounding my heart began to thaw and I began to heal. I remarried, had more children, and continued to record and release more music. I continued to live my life. And while I can never discount the time I spent with Big, I've never felt the need to live in the past.
But sometimes, I still find myself thinking about Big being rushed the hospital, and I break down in tears.
It's not just because we hung up on each other during what would be our last telephone conversation. And it's not because I am raising our son, a young man who has never known his father.
It's partly all of those things. But mainly it's because he wasn't ready to go. His debut album was called Ready to Die. But in the end, he wasn't. Big never got a chance to tell his story. It's been left to others to tell it for him. In making the decision to tell my own story, it means that I've become one of those who can give insight to who Big really was. But I can only speak on what he meant to me.
Yet I also want people to understand that although he was a large part of my life, my story doesn't actually begin or end with Big's death. My journey has been complicated on many levels. And since I am always linked to Big, there are a lot of misconceptions about who I really am.
I hope that in reading my words, there is inspiration to be found. Perhaps you can duplicate my success or achieve where I have failed. Maybe you can skip over the mistakes I've made. Use my life as an example-of what to do and in some cases, what not to do.
It's not easy putting your life out there for the masses. But I've decided I'll tell my own story. For Big. For my children. And for myself.

I have always loved Faith...we are not very far apart in age and neither are our daughters. I have waited so many years to hear her side of the story. This book is a true life story of everything that she went through to get to where she is today. She didn't sugar coat things at all. She cleared up alot of misconceptions.
Faith is a "Jersey Gurl" like myself...the time when "Bad Boy" was on the rise was a good time for me as well...You can relate to her during that era.
She loved "Big" you could never doubt that after reading this...she fell in love hard and fast..a very true love story lied between them even though it wasn't typical "Romeo & Juliet".You must read this book!!!
I got the book in the mail Saturday evening and was done by Monday morning...(it would've been done sooner except I did have to sleep for a few hours).
This gives the "raw" on how life is at times and it also shows you how years down the line your life may not end up what you imagined it to be. People grow up learn from their mistakes.
Faith is amazing woman who loves her husband and her children. She has always been one of my top 3 female R&B singers and this book proved why I always knew she was going to be legendary.
She survived alot & makes sure her son CJ knows of his fathers legacy.
So i finally finished reading my faith evans book and after reading four books in a year i say hands down to her for having the courage to tell all wow i love that book the most because she kept in 100 all the way truely a page turner! I never really knew to much about Faith, but reading the book had me talking about it for a whole week. (In a good way) now my co-worker wants the book. Good Read, Great job!!!!
I am part of a book club and will admit I wasn't too interested in this book choice, but I'm soooo glad it was chosen! I love that Faith was real and so relatable; and it was good to read everything that may have been speculated straight from her. Truly enjoyed!
I actually love this book and real and true
I enjoyed the book, I was hoping to learn more than I already knew from news & magazines. It was good to hear things from her perspective.
This book was a GREAT book its a MUST READ! if you love reading about people lives and stuff this is the one for you !! I couldn't stop reading I read this book in 5 days! Hope you like it!!
What a wonderful read!! I have always enjoyed Faith's music and now I feel I know more about her as a person. I would definitely recommend this book? Great Job!!
I thought this book was just gonna be about biggie but now that I read the book I feel like i know her on a whole different level like when she talks about what biggie put her through i actually felt bad for her cause she's like the definition if ride or die chick and what tupac did to her was grimey on sooo many levels like woow i give it up to her and i have soo much respect for her after reading this.
This book was awesome ! She was very honest and real on every page ! She created a personal sense of friendship between her and her readers ! I will definetely add it to my collection and read it again !
I thought it was a GRATE BOOK. I learned a lot and loved every page a MUST READ FOR EVERYBODY.!!! MUCH BETTER THEN TOYA CARTERS UNCLASSY BOOK. FAITH,S BOOKS GRATE CLASSY.! A CLASSIC MEMIOR.!!!! A MUST READ.
This book gave me a full view into the life of Faith Evans. Now I know what's really behind the music. She's not perfect but she's real and this book was as real as it gets. A great read.
This really is a great book and is worth every penny. She has really ben through a lot. I read this book twice.
As a long time fan of Faith Evans I was impressed by this book. She was open and honest about her relationship and put a lot of false rumors to rest.
Daps to Faith Evans! I could not put this book down! I admire her so much ...shes a talented strong women. Loved how she writes her life story ....shes real

The Eagle Unbowed
Originally published 02/27/2013
Alex Joffe: Review of Halik Kochanski's "The Eagle Unbowed: Poland and the Poles in the Second World War"
Alex Joffe received his Ph.D. in Near Eastern Studies from the University of Arizona in 1991.The adage "history is written by the winners" is no more than a half-truth. Losers, too, have always written history and, more important, enshrined their losses in memory. A new history of Poland in World War II thus has particular significance. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth gradually vanished from the map of Europe at the end of the 18th century, when Russia, Prussia, and Austria divided it up among themselves; and the Poles regained their independence only in 1918. In their new republic, ethnic Poles were a majority, but Ukrainians, Belorussians, Germans and, of course, Jews constituted a large minority. The Jews alone made up more than 10 per cent of the country's population. Mustn't any history of Poland in the Second World War therefore put the Jews and the Holocaust at the center? If it does not, is that originality or revisionism? Halik Kochanski's The Eagle Unbowed: Poland and the Poles in the Second World War offers important insights into the Polish experience of the war, but her treatment of the Jewish Question is less satisfying.

Community meeting to 'stop the rot'
A public meeting is being held in Newcastle tonight to discuss community concerns in the wake of explosive evidence at the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
Organisers say the Stop the Rot meeting is designed to reaffirm the community's commitment to restoring the core values of democracy and honesty, integrity and trust in all levels of government.
The ICAC has so far claimed a number of local politicians with Newcastle MP Tim Owen and Charlestown MP Andrew Cornwell quitting parliament after admitting to taking money from developers during the 2011 election campaign.
One of those developers, Newcastle lord Mayor Jeff McCloy resigned this week.
Swansea MP Gary Edwards has also moved to the cross bench.
The meeting is being held at Newcastle City Hall from 7pm (AEST).

But what riled the anti-deck crowd more than the final vote was that the chairwoman of the task force, Sharon Gay, wrote the final recommendations in favor of the deck before members even voted.
A draft of the task force report, which states, "The task force recommends that the City of Atlanta endorse and adopt the North Woods Expansion Master Plan [including the parking deck]," was leaked to Creative Loafing the day before the vote.
"I took a stab at doing a very rough outline of what could be a final report, based on my conversations with most of the members," says Gay, who oversaw four task force meetings. "I was very worried in the beginning about doing this in four meetings, but by the time we got to the third one, the path was pretty clear to me and seemed to be for the others as well."
It's no wonder that the task force, which is comprised of appointees from the city, the Piedmont Park Conservancy and the Atlanta Botanical Garden, took a pro-deck stance. With the exception of a six-minute presentation by Friends of Piedmont Park, an anti-deck citizens' group, the task force heard almost entirely from pro-deck presenters, such as the Atlanta Botanical Garden, which wants the deck so badly it's willing to foot the entire $15 million bill.
"It is hard to see that the task force has done anything to bring the community together," says Amy Triandiflou, a member of Friends of Piedmont Park. "Obviously, a large segment of the community does not agree with the conclusions of the task force at all."
Case in point: Sixteen of the 17 Neighborhood Planning Units that took up the issue voted against the deck (the votes, however, are nonbinding recommendations).
Next, the Piedmont Park parking deck plan will go before the Urban Design Commission for modifications and a vote. If it passes, it will go to City Council, then the mayor.

The Supreme Court's McCutcheon decision today dealt another serious blow to the regulation of money in politics. In its 5-4 decision, the Court struck down the federal aggregate contribution limits, which restrict the amount one person can contribute to all candidates, parties, and political committees combined. As a result, one person can now give more than $3.6 million to one party's candidates and committees in a single election cycle (under the limits, one could give "only" $123,200 per election cycle). With a sufficiently sophisticated joint fundraising apparatus, this money could be given in response to a solicitation from a single party leader.
While this is troubling by itself, the more sinister part of the decision lies in the groundwork the decision laid for future money in politics cases.
The Court doubled down on its holding that corruption only includes contributions given with the expectation of receiving official action in return — essentially a direct bribe in the guise of a political contribution. The Court also acknowledged that contributions can be used to gain ingratiation with and access to government officials while not reaching the level of outright bribery. But the Court praised this relationship rather than condemning it:
We have said that government regulation may not target the general gratitude a candidate may feel toward those who support him or his allies, or the political access such support may afford. . . . They embody a central feature of democracy—that constituents support candidates who share their beliefs and interests, and candidates who are elected can be expected to be responsive to those concerns.
This vision of the Constitution is wrong. It elevates wealthy donors who can afford to buy influence over 99.99 percent of Americans, who have an equal right to representation. Although the Court may talk in the language of protecting constituents, the outcome is clear — big donors can give to however many candidates they want, regardless of whether they can vote for those candidates or would be constituents of those candidates. This case is about big money, not constituents.

The Strongbow Saga, Book Three: The Road to Vengeance
Chapter One
What Is His Plan?
An arrow whispered out of the dark and thudded into something solid. The sound startled me awake, and I reached out, frantically searching for my weapons. My hand hit something—I could not tell what—that fell over with a loud clatter.
"Hush!" a voice nearby said. "They cannot see us, but they are shooting at sounds."
The voice—it was Tore's—pulled me the rest of the way from my sleep, and I remembered where I was.
The Gull, the longship of Hastein, my captain, and the Bear, Ivar the Boneless's ship, were anchored, lashed side by side, in the middle of the Seine River. We were deep in the heart of Frankia. Dusk had been falling when they'd plucked me from the riverbank, where Frankish warriors had surrounded me. Deciding it was too dangerous to try to navigate the unfamiliar waters of the Seine in the dark, Hastein and Ivar had decided to wait the night out in the middle of the river, as far as possible from Frankish archers lurking along the shore.
Tore and Odd were crouched nearby, their bows strung with arrows nocked and ready, peering between the shields lashed along the side of the Gull.
"Do you see anything?" Tore whispered.
Odd shook his head. "No," he answered. "The shoreline is too far, and the shadows from the trees along it hide too much. He is somewhere over there, though," he added, pointing slightly upstream with his free hand, "judging from the angle of the last arrow that hit the side."
I was lucky to be alive; lucky to have returnedunharmed from the dangerous scouting mission our army's leaders had sent me on. I could still feel the fear of knowing that the time of my death was upon me. Yet once more, against all odds, I had survived. Once more, for reasons known only to them, the Norns had chosen not to cut the threads of my life, but instead had kept me alive and a part of the great pattern of fate they were weaving; the fate of all men and of the world itself. I had survived, but my death had felt so near and so certain that I could not shake its grasp from my heart.
Late the following afternoon, we reached Ruda, the Frankish town along the river that our army had captured and made its base. I did not want to return to the home of Wulf, the gruff Frankish sea captain, where I had been billeted before being sent out on the scouting mission. If I'd been alone, I would have gone to the palace, where the rest of the Gull's crew had made their quarters. But I was not alone. I had a prisoner.
When I pushed the door of his house open and stepped inside, Wulf, who was seated at the table in the main room, scrambled to his feet. For a moment he was speechless with surprise. Perhaps he'd thought—or even hoped—that I was dead. Quickly enough, though, he recovered both his wits and his voice, and began protesting loudly.
"I was not expecting you to return here. The town is calm now, and at peace. We no longer need your protection."
What he said was true. Most of our army was encamped on an island in the river just upstream from Ruda, rather than in the town itself, and Ragnar, the army's war-king, had forbidden our men from harassing the town's citizens. Soon enough we might be facing the main Frankish army. Ragnar did not want a hostile populace at our backs to deal with, in addition to a besieging force, if we had to defend ourselves from behind Ruda's walls.
"Why have you come back here?" Wulf continued. "Why do you not stay with the rest of your captain's men in the count's palace?"
Bertrada, Wulf's wife, was standing behind him, wringing her hands, an anxious expression on her face. I knew she could not understand what he was saying—Wulf was speaking to me in my own tongue, rather than the version of Latin spoken by the Franks. But his anger was obvious from the tone of his voice. No doubt she feared I might take offense. In truth, I was beginning to.
I pointed behind me. "I have come back to your home because of her. She is my prisoner. I need quarters where she will be safe." Surely Wulf could understand that. A woman—particularly one as young and comely as my captive—could not be housed in a hall filled with hardened warriors.
"You are concerned for her safety?" he exclaimed, and rolled his eyes—an insolent gesture which angered me. "Is this not a woman you stole? If her well-being worries you so, why did you take her? Surely she would have been safe if you'd left her with her own folk!
"I am running low on food," Wulf continued. "So long as your fleet is on the river, and our land is under attack by your army, I am unable to take my ship out—I am unable to trade. I can earn nothing with which to buy food for my own family. I cannot afford to feed two extra mouths. She is your problem. She is not my concern."
Genevieve, my prisoner, was standing just inside the doorway, slumped back against the wall, staring at us dully. She had stumbled from fatigue several times during the short walk from the river to Wulf's home, and looked as though she might fall asleep on her feet at any moment.
I felt almost as weary as Genevieve looked. I had been close to exhaustion before Hastein and Ivar had rescued me, and had slept little since. The Franks had been angry at losing Genevieve when they'd believed her rescue was assured. The archers they'd sent creeping to the river's edge had kept up a steady, if ineffectual, fire at us during the night. No one on board either ship had been hit, but after having been hunted for several days by the Franks, the occasional whistle of an arrow passing overhead, unseen in the dark, or the thud of a low shot striking the side of the ship had been enough to keep my nerves on edge, and had made sound sleep impossible.The Strongbow Saga, Book Three: The Road to Vengeance.

I read ALL the time!I love a well written book. Reading so often can be difficult becasue I can figure out every ending and predict almost every out come, But in this series it felt fresh and held my attention. These books are fun, fast paced, and packed with action and of course some love. Both my sister and I had so much fun reading the series. I started looking for the next one but it looks like he hasn't had them published.....
I wish the author would find a publisher for the rest of the series already! He's not even bothering to write the rest of the series until he finds one.
This series is SO GOOD. Someone would have to be brain-dead not to love them.
I loved this series so much. All three books are amazing. Im disappointed that the series stops there because the sales werent as well as was predicted. I want to know the ending. SO tell everyone you know to but the series. <3
Halfdan's quest for revenge continues in the third book of the riveting and highly entertaining STRONGBOW SAGA.
He returns to his ship and captain with his prisoner, Genevieve. But he finds it difficult to protect her while at the same time fending off attacks from Toke's men.
THE ROAD TO VENGEANCE is a vivid, honest portrayal of the trials and tribulations of life in the 9th-century, and it delivers an unflinching look at the many realties of that time period.
This is one high-spirited adventure novel that you won't soon forget.

It has been recently revealed in a report that many children from Queensland have healed people of their illnesses, with the power of miracles bestowed on them by God. These kids are from the Pentecostal group called the Culture shifters and they have claimed to have treated people suffering from multiple sclerosis or even cancer.
It was revealed that children from this group have helped many people, by randomly approaching them on the streets and then healing them of their illnesses. His has raised speculative brows form many people, ranging from parents to doctors. They are of the view that people suffering from any sort of medical conditions need to visits a doctor and not go ahead feeding on the beliefs of young children, who aren't even sure of what they are doing.
The experts are of the view that though people across the world aren't particularly enthusiastic about faith healing, people from Queensland have surely seen a lot of interest in the matter. The group is slowly growing and it currently has about 160 members. It is led by Grant and Emma Shaw from the Christian Outreach Centre. There are more and more people hearing about the healing powers bestowed on these young children and coming t experience them same on their own.
"There can be situations where people blame the person themselves for not being healed and say 'You don't have enough faith' and 'You have some secret sin' and that can be extremely damaging", revealed the Flinders University Department of Theology, Professor Andrew Dutney. This might tend to worsen matters at times and this is why it is essential that faith and healing are kept away from each other and treated as different entities.

In Focus: State TANF Policies and Data
Mar 4, 2016 | PERMALINK »
It's Not 1996 Anymore; TANF Cash Assistance Doesn't Go Far Enough
By Randi Hall
Since 1996, inflation has eroded the value of a dollar by more than 30 percent. Some key costs have gone up much more—the average fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment in the United States has increased by 71 percent and average transit fares have increased by 50 percent. But in many states, families with children receiving cash assistance under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant are struggling to make ends meet with benefits that have remained stuck at 1996 levels.
In 23 states, TANF benefit levels have either decreased or remain unchanged since welfare reform was enacted in 1996. In some states, it has been even longer since families received an increase. The Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid recently released a report highlighting the erosion in value of basic cash assistance under the state's Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP). A family of three can receive a maximum monthly grant of $532 under MFIP, an amount determined in 1986 that has not increased since. Similarly, New Jersey Policy Perspective reports that the maximum amount of assistance for a family of three has been set at $424 per month since 1987. Basic cash assistance under TANF leaves low-income families with significant gaps to meet their basic needs.
Cash assistance has failed to serve those who need it most, both in its nominally small grant amounts and in the restrictive income limits that disqualify working poor families. In 26 states and the District of Columbia, a family of three reporting annual earnings at 50 percent of the federal poverty level, or $19,790 in 2014, made too much to qualify for cash assistance under TANF. Annually adjusting the cash assistance amounts would immediately benefit working poor families facing material hardship. For example, if Minnesota's monthly cash grant had been adjusted annually for inflation, a family of three would afford to purchase $1,148 in goods and services (more than double the purchasing power of the $532 amount that's been frozen in time since 1986.)
A few states are trying to address this issue. This year, New Jersey lawmakers have stated their intent to raise the state's monthly benefit grant over three years while calling for an annual cost of living increase. State representatives in Virginia have offered two separate bills that would increase the monthly benefit amount for TANF recipients.
One reason benefit levels have remained stagnant in so many states is that the TANF block grant itself has not been adjusted for inflation since the program was created. Another reason is that many states use a large share of their grants for purposes other than cash assistance. President Obama's proposed FY 2017 budget addresses both these issues. It would increase the block grant by $8 billion over 5 years—requiring a corresponding increase in state spending—and would also require states to spend at least 55 percent (rising to 60 percent over time) of the funds for core purposes and benefits: cash assistance, work-related activities, and child care. While these improvements are vital to expand economic opportunity and stability for poor families with children, states should not wait for federal action to adjust monthly benefit amounts to meet the cost of living in the 21st century. After all, it's not 1996 anymore.

California Should Eliminate the Maximum Family Grant; Evidence Shows Outdated Policy Causes Lasting Harm
In 1994, before federal welfare reform imposed lifetime limits and stronger work requirements, California adopted its Maximum Family Grant (MFG) policy, also known as a "family cap," which denies benefits to babies conceived and born while their families are receiving cash assistance. The policy was never implemented under the pre-reform Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) Program because the state was not approved for a federal waiver. However, welfare reform made the decision a state rather than federal one, paving the way for the policy to be implemented. So in 1997, when I was Acting Assistant Secretary for Children and Families at the federal Department of Health and Human Services, I was informed by Eloise Anderson, Director of the California Department of Social Services, that the state was withdrawing its waiver request and would implement the policy under the new Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant.
But after 20 years, the evidence is in: these family cap policies don't work. Worse, they can cause lifelong damage to children's learning and development. A growing body of research shows that infancy is a critical period for children's development, with implications for lifelong physical and emotional well-being. Experiences during the infant and toddler years shape the architecture of the brain—including cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional capacities—at a phenomenal rate and lay the foundation for future growth and learning. Today, we now know far more than before about the importance of the first years of life—and the cumulative threat to the long-term well-being of babies who face multiple risk factors, such as those who are eligible for TANF. Research suggests that, rather than cutting benefits to babies, states should redesign TANF programs to meet the developmental needs of infants in TANF families, as recommended in the recent CLASP paper, TANF and the First Year of Life: Making a Difference at a Pivotal Moment.
The evidence is in on another point too. Family cap policies don't achieve their intended purpose of deterring childbearing among women and girls who are poor. Proponents hypothesized that welfare recipients might intentionally conceive a child to receive an increased benefit, to become exempt from mandatory work requirements or activities, or to remain eligible for the program. But studies of family cap policies have found no evidence of such effects. There is little evidence of any reduction in birth rates among women receiving TANF benefits when compared to non-TANF recipients in states with such policies. Instead, the main effect of family caps is to increase poverty among families with young children. One study found that the family cap significantly increases deep poverty (income less than 50 percent of the federal poverty level) among single mothers and their children.
It's time for California to eliminate its maximum family grant policy. As the evidence against these policies accumulates, six other states have repealed their family cap policies since 2002, most recently Minnesota in 2013. As one of only 16 states that still have such policies, California accounts for more than half of the approximately 61,000 families nationwide that had their benefits reduced in 2013 due to a family cap policy—families that are highly likely to have infants or young children. Nationally, families affected by the benefit cap have received an average of 20 percent less in cash assistance than they would have otherwise received.
Family cap policies take money away from the most vulnerable families, with lasting consequences for both these families and society as a whole. Children who are born into families experiencing poverty are far more likely than other children to spend more than half of their childhood in poverty, and to have worse outcomes as adults. In California, without the Maximum Family Grant rule, most affected households would receive an additional $128 per month in assistance for a newborn child—not enough to meet all of an infant's basic needs but enough to pay for diapers and wipes. Lifting the family cap would mitigate the financial burdens associated with deep poverty.
Earlier this year, legislation to repeal the Maximum Family Grant cleared the California Senate with bi-partisan support. As early as January, it will be eligible for a vote in the Assembly, where it received bi-partisan votes at committee hearings. California Governor Jerry Brown hasn't taken a position on the policy but has indicated his desire to discuss the repeal in budget negotiations rather than be sent the bill for signature in 2016. I urge Governor Brown to include funding to repeal this harmful and outdated provision in his forthcoming budget proposal. The evidence is in, and the family cap should be out.

Making a Difference for Poor Babies Using TANF: A Framework for States
By Elizabeth Lower-Basch and Stephanie Schmit
Americans overwhelmingly agree that children's fate in life should not be determined by the circumstances in which they are born. But children born into poor families are at great risk of persistent poverty during their childhood. A growing body of evidence shows that poverty in early childhood is a grave threat to children's long-term health, well-being, and educational success, with persistent and deep poverty causing the most damage. A new CLASP report, TANF and the First Year of Life: Making a Difference at a Pivotal Moment, suggests an innovative framework for thinking about Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) in the context of the first year of life, a vision for what a reformed TANF might look like, and concrete steps that states can begin taking right now to move their programs in this direction.
TANF offers an important, large-scale, high-impact opportunity to achieve two-generational goals for poor families with infants because:
- TANF already reaches about a quarter million of the poorest families with babies or pregnant women, which is about half of deeply poor families with infants.
- By its design, TANF is inherently a two-generational program, in that it is explicitly aimed at serving low-income families with children.
- TANF is a block grant that gives states a great deal of flexibility in deciding which needy families to serve, what services to provide, and what to expect of recipients.
Today's state TANF programs too often fall far short of their potential. Barriers to access, underfunded services, and work requirements that do not take the needs of infants into account hold parents back and make it harder for them to lift themselves and their babies out of poverty. For example, in 11 states, parents of infants under the age of one are subject to work requirements and could lose their entire family's cash assistance benefit the first time they fail to meet work requirements.
But the growing evidence about the importance of the first year of life for children's long-term success offers the opportunity to build a much stronger case than even just a few years ago for redesigning TANF programs to meet the developmental needs of infants in TANF families.
For the first time, the paper provides a framework grounded in the research about infant development and detailed data about TANF families and state policy options, to provide a wealth of practical ideas for state leaders. These ideas, organized into a package of foundational options for all states to consider, along with a set of more innovative options for states that have made strong progress on the foundations, include:
- removing barriers that prevent pregnant women and parents of babies from accessing cash assistance;
- redesigning work requirements to reflect the needs of infants and the realities of today's low-wage labor market;
- ensuring access to quality child care; and
- building linkages to other programs and services, such as early childhood home visiting, health care, and nutritional supports.
Some states have already started to adopt more evidence-based and positive policies for TANF families. Minnesota repealed its family cap in 2013. Last year, Washington state set aside nearly $1 million from the TANF block grant to fund a pilot home visiting project targeting TANF recipients using evidence-based models already used in the state. The recent reauthorizations of the Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG) and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) require states to make a number of changes to how they deliver the services funded by these programs, and how they relate to TANF. This makes it an opportune time for states to think holistically about how these multiple programs serve the same families, and to re-envision TANF as a true two-generational anti-poverty program.

Three-dimensional structure of leptin. [Wikipedia, Vossman]
Leptin, a hormone of intense interest because it acts on neurons to regulate appetite and weight, is now known to act on another cell type: astrocytes. The finding promises to enhance therapies meant to suppress hunger and control metabolic disorders such as obesity.
If obesity is to be checked by means of drugs, it will be necessary to know more about the various ways the body maintains homeostasis, or energy balance. The modulation of homeostasis, via hormones and neurotransmitters that activate different biochemical pathways and neuronal circuits, is at least as complicated as the operation of a pipe organ, where pressurized air may be channeled any number of ways by means of various knobs, couplers, and pedals.
The finding that leptin may act through astrocytes as well as neurons is almost like uncovering a new control on an organ console, raising the possibility that drug developers may exploit this new target to help people maintain a healthy weight and avoid obesity, rather like an organist might produce beautiful harmonies instead of cacophonous blasts.
Leptin, one of the molecules that signal the brain to modulate food intake, is produced in fat cells and informs the brain of the metabolic state, exerting, when necessary, a hunger-blocking effect on the hypothalamus. If animals are missing leptin or the leptin receptor, the signals that ordinarily serve to control food intake may not travel from the body to the brain as needed. Animals may then eat too much and become severely obese.
Leptin's effect on metabolism has been found to control the brain's neuronal circuits, but no previous studies have definitively found that leptin could control the behavior of cells other than neurons.
To test the whether leptin could also act via glial circuits, a team of scientists at Yale led by Tamas Horvath, Ph.D., selectively knocked out leptin receptors in the adult non-neuronal glial cells of mice. The team then recorded the water and food intake, as well as physical activity every five days.
The scientists published their results June 1 in Nature Neuroscience, in an article entitled "Leptin signaling in astrocytes regulates hypothalamic neuronal circuits and feeding." The scientists reported that the conditional deletion of leptin receptors that were expressed in hypothalamic astrocytes "led to altered glial morphology and synaptic inputs onto hypothalamic neurons involved in feeding control."
The added that leptin-regulated feeding was diminished, whereas feeding after fasting or ghrelin administration was elevated in mice with astrocyte-specific leptin receptor deficiency.
"Up until now, the scientific community thought that leptin acts exclusively in neurons to modulate behavior and body weight," said Dr. Horvath. "This work is now changing that paradigm."
"Glial cells provide the main barrier between the periphery and the brain," Dr. Horvath added. "Thus glial cells could be targeted for drugs that treat metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes."

Here are a few questions and answers that I could think of... Contact me for rates.
Q: What all will you/do you shoot?
A: You tell me want you want, and I will likely be willing to work out a deal with you. These galleries are here to show what my capabilities are,
what my style is, and some of the subjects that I photograph.
Q: Where do you shoot?
A: Anywhere... All over, pretty much...
Q: Will you shoot my wedding?
A: I will consider it. Contact me and we can discuss an agreement.
Q: I'm not sure I want my images on the internet. If I shoot with you are you going to post them in your galleries?
A: All of the clients that are visible in these galleries have allowed me to post these images here. I value safety and privacy as well,
as I am trustworthy and use discretion; I try to make the entire experience pleasant and worthwhile so that you will
enjoy working with me and so that you will receive a product that you will value for years to come.
Q: Do you work on a trade basis?
A: On occasion, but not usually.
Q: Why would you not create your own website? Why pbase.com?
A: I like photography. I like this community that includes some amazing & inspiring photographers.
A hosting site such as this is a less expensive option that allows me to showcase some of my personal projects
along with my VSU clients while networking with other photographers.
This site also seems to work well with client previewing/proofing.
That said, I haven't ruled out my own website, but I don't have one at this time.
Enjoy your visit and please feel free to offer comments or critiques on my work in the boxes below each gallery or image.

Gymnasts, like cats, are great at landing on their feet and must resist the urge to chase ribbon dancers during their routines. Learn discipline with this Groupon.
$29 for Two Months of Gymnastics Classes ($130 value)
Students of any age and ability tumble over, through, and under the modern training equipment available at each of 5280 Gymnastics' locations. Parents can sign kids up for any of the classes, which are led by one teacher who gives personalized instruction week after week. Children builds strength, flexibility, and self-esteem through simple, supervised exercise.
5280 Gymnastics
Beth and Jim Trammell started 5280 Gymnastics to share their love of gymnastics with students young and old, novice and expert, casual and competitive. They assembled an elite team of coaches that trained Olympic gymnast Sasha Artemev and placed graduates on the gymnastics teams at Stanford University, into officer's education at West Point, and onto the diving team at Northwestern University. Under this refined tutelage, the two USA Gymnastics teams that regularly train within 5280's confines took home awards at regional, state, and national levels of competition.
The owners and coaches recognize that not everyone desires to train for peak levels of gymnastics competition, and so the range of classes encompasses plenty of other options, including casual, confidence-inspiring play for tots and free running and parkour classes for older students. During the summer, daily camps keep kids busy during sunny hours with athletic games and arts-and-crafts projects such as building a balance beam out of popsicle sticks.
