the evening with Mark Levin, director and producer of BRICK CITY
On Tuesday I attended an evening with Mark Levin, director and producer of BRICK CITY (on the Sundance TV network). We watched the first hour of the series. Then Levin, The Rev. Bob Morris, and Imam W. Deeen Shareef reacted, followed by an open discussion with the audience. We gathered at Interweave, a community ministry led by Bob Morris+, at Calvary Church in Summit, NJ. Morris and Shareef are active in an interfaith alliance in northern New Jersey. It was at a meeting of their group that Levin first met many of the people who became central characters in BRICK CITY. Morris began the evening by passing out copies of a strong critique of "Brick City" in the NEW YORK TIMES written by my Rutgers colleague, Dr. Clement Price, a major historian. Among many points, Price objects to the way that the series focuses almost exclusively on crime and very little on the kinds of cultural revival going on here over the last three decades. Levin's sister works for a museum, and Levin said she has made complaints similar to those of Dr. Price. Levin grew up in Elizabeth; his family moved to Maplewood when his parents thought he was getting too involved with gangs in Elizabeth. He attended Columbia High School in Maplewood. Recently a friend who had followed some of Levin's other documentaries about street violence asked whether he had noticed that the "C" had been removed from "CHS" at his alma mater. Bloods had removed it as a gesture against Cripps -- both groups active now at that school. Levin had something at stake personally when accused of knowing a lot about violence elsewhere but little about violence in his own hometown. (Maybe he should have done the series about Maplewood?) Levin acknowledged that "Brick City" does not give a full story of Newark. He acknowledged that his focus helps perpetuate stereotypes of Newark as a violent place. He said that the focus was not one he planned so much as one that opened up in many of his initial onsite interviews. He noted that the series shows several local citizens collaborating to reduce the crime rate. The crime rate is real, and it is serious. Before seeing any of the material, I was prepared to object. However, in viewing the full first season, I was deeply moved by the integrity of the 'survivors' at the center of the series. Mayor Cory Bookertook serious risks in allowing sustained access with no editorial control over the material, and Levin took risks investing so much attention in one political leader. I'm not ready to wave a banner in support of the series. It's powerful. It's both disturbing and hopeful. What it does do, it does well. I wish his focus had been broader. Levin hopes it will be broader in the second season, now being prepared. He said that several fans of the series are anxiously waiting to learn what happens to several of the key street figures in the first season, so I doubt the focus will be radically different. I would miss them too were they not a part of it. The last thing I want is a film done to please a Chamber of Commerce. Tthe camera work is superb, and the film editor has a love affair with the physical beauty of Newark -- its people, its parks, its buildings. I have such a love affair too, but don't have the zooms and angles to see Newark afresh as the film allowed me. At one point I was intensely watching a community meeting and then spotted at the edge of the frame one of the stations of the cross: that was the first time that I noticed the scene was filmed in my own parish, on a night that Forrest Whitaker was there. It was strange to find myself in a pew next to that station this morning. Louie Louie Crew, 377 S. Harrison St., 12D, East Orange, NJ 07018 973-395-1068

|Local Government Finance (England) Special Grant Report (No.95) (HC 670), on 2001-02 Special Grant For Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children
Simon Hughes: I welcome that, as I am sure other hon. Members will. There is still an issue about those who do not receive a full care support package before 16a group mentioned by the Ministerand the differential rate for those over 16. The Refugee Council and others have raised that issue. Obviously, we are talking about young people who cannot undertake training or work, so by definition they depend entirely on being looked after financially. Do Ministers accept that the situation is, as I am advised, contrary to government guidance and the national assessment framework, and are they minded to change it in the near future?
Angela Eagle: The hon. Gentleman is taking me into education policy somewhat. The difference in the costs relates to the difference between sections 17 and 20. Section 17 is slightly more hands off, whereas section 20 is more about people who are dependent because they are younger and therefore likely to be fostered or looked after in institutional care.
Individuals are allocated to a particular section through the assessment of need, which is another requirement in the Children Act. The hon. Gentleman talked about a possible assessment of mental health or other need. If someone older needed to be looked after more closely, they might qualify for a different level of care depending on their individual needs. It is for the
Column Number: 12local authority that takes responsibility for that unaccompanied asylum-seeking child to make the decision, for which the Children Act allows. We simply pay the money for the people in the different categories as I have outlined.
With regard to adequate and sufficient training for social workers, few people would disagree that, in the past, social work was perhaps not as recognised and supported as it should have been. Many of us would welcome increased training for social workers.
The hon. Member for Woking went off on a slight tangent in relation to accommodation centres. We plan to keep families together in those centres. Current thinking is that we will provide education in them, and work is being undertaken on that. However, there is a difference between those who have been granted refugee status and those who are applying for it. If someone has been accepted as a refugee, it may be better in the long term for them to be in a mainstream school. However, that may not be in their best interests if the family is not going to stay in Britain long and has to return home. We are working on getting that balance right.
There are always difficulties in trying to define how old people are, particularly at the edges of age groups and when they turn up from wherever with no papers. In the end, local authorities must decide, on the balance of probabilities, who is under 18 and who is over 18. Clearly, there are people who pretend to be under 18 because that gives them access to a more beneficial system than the one to which they would have access if they were simply an asylum seeker. Ultimately, it is up to local authorities to decide who qualifies for help under the Children Act.
I have not read the Save the Children report, so the best thing that I can do is to promise to write to the hon. Member for Southwark, North and Bermondsey about the summary. I would far rather do that than waffle in Committee today, completely unsighted.
I shall say a little more about the changes that we plan to make to the system next year. We hope to introduce quarterly payments so that local authorities do not receive everything right at the end and there is much more certainty about the money that they will receive. I am jumping the gun slightly, but changes in the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill will allow us to pay more flexibly than by using special grant reports. If these measures are passed, we will have the flexibility to be more helpful to local authorities with particularly onerous tasks.
I was asked about current asylum statistics, which do not separate out unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. I, too, would prefer better statistics, which is partly what the audit is all about. I hope that we shall be able to put better information to good effect in supporting local authorities in their work.
I shall write to the hon. Member for Southwark, North and Bermondsey about whether any unaccompanied asylum-seeking children are housed in detention centres. I would be surprised if they were, simply because they would not be deported until a decision on their status had been taken. We tend to offer extended leave to remain until the 18th birthday.
Column Number: 13Having unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in detention centres would surprise me, but I shall certainly write to the hon. Gentleman, as I said.
On turning 18, unaccompanied asylum-seeking child status has to give way to general refugee or asylum-seeking status. It is up to us to improve the speed with which we take decisions, so that people do not hang around in uncertainty. Changes proposed in the new Billincluding increased money for appeals and improving the capacity that can be fed into the systemshould lead to faster decisions.
I heard the hon. Member for Southwark, North and Bermondsey summarise recommendation 3 of the report, which I have not yet read, and he may take
Column Number: 14some comfort there. We are not, as I understand it, proposing to move in the direction of the UN convention of the rights of the child, but I shall write to the hon. Gentleman to confirm whether that is, in fact, the case.
Question put and agreed to.

Today's displacement challenges - Asylum and migration in Europe, one year after the 'Arab Spring'20 March 2012
"Europe needs a rational attitude to the Arab Spring. It must see it as an historic opportunity. Don't be obsessed with the short-term movement of people that it's triggering, which is actually quite small," said António Guterres, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
"I thought EU countries would show the same enormous enthusiasm for the Arab Spring. But the dominant message was concern about a potential invasion of people from the south," said Guterres, a former prime minister of Portugal.
Describing the Arab Spring as hugely significant for an organisation like the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Guterres said recent times had been characterised by a multiplication of new conflicts as well as the continuation of old conflicts "that never seem to die," leading to an "extra" 800,000 refugees crossing borders.
He cited as examples conflicts in Côte d'Ivoire, Syria, Mali, Libya, Sudan, Congo and Somalia, all of which were putting the UNHCR under "enormous pressure".
From a global perspective, "the humanitarian space is becoming more limited," the High Commissioner deplored, explaining that the human rights agenda was "losing importance" because governments were preoccupied with governance issues and economic concerns.
"The Arab Spring represents an opportunity for Europe to act and […] take centre stage," Guterres argued. But for that to happen, current attitudes to migration must change, he warned.
"Fertility in Europe is declining and its population is ageing. Europe cannot survive without migration. Migration is an essential component of its future," Guterres argued.
"Europeans don't want to have children, and they don't want to do menial jobs. But they also don't want migration, so there's a kind of schizophrenia," he said, warning that the situation was producing irrational behaviour, an irresponsible media and rising populism.
"Politicians are declaring that multiculturalism has failed. But multiculturalism is inevitable," said Guterres, explaining that markets function and labour markets exist accordingly.
"So movement of people is absolutely necessary. But we can make sure that it's managed and legal, rather than smuggled" and dangerous for all involved, the High Commissioner said.
Refugee flows "must be managed in a spirit of international solidarity," he said, "but the European asylum system must be improved first".
"Despite the European Commission's best efforts, it's extremely dysfunctional. I'm sceptical about the chances of success," Guterres said, claiming that the likelihood of an Afghan refugee being granted asylum in Europe varied between eight and 91% depending on the EU member state in question.
"This means that you get an à la carte system of asylum shopping that encourages smugglers," he warned.
"Countries will assume responsibility if it is shared and managed in a responsible manner, in a spirit of solidarity with those on the front line," the UN official said.

Lord Williams of Elvel: My Lords, it is with diffidence that I rise to respond to the Motion because my attention has not been wholly concentrated on the Bill. It has been diverted elsewhere in your Lordships' House, as has the noble Earl's attention from time to time.
At Second Reading I expressed our general support for the Bill. It would be wrong for me to withdraw that support. Some difficult issues had to be teased out in the course of debate: the Ministry of Defence Police and the future, the tribunal provisions, the courts martial, the Greenwich problem. I hope that my contribution at Second Reading on the issue of homosexuality was helpful to the Government, despite certain remarks made last Friday by the noble Lord, Lord Wallace of Saltaire, from the Liberal Democrat Benches which he subsequently withdrew.
I can only reiterate our support for the Bill and for the Armed Forces of the Crown. They are the Armed Forces of the Crown and not the property of any government. I can assure the noble Earl that in a year or so, when we switch places, we will continue to give the Armed Forces of the Crown the support that we believe the noble Earl has given them. In that spirit, I wish the Bill well and hope that, in whatever theatre they may serve, the Armed Forces will continue to receive the support of governments of whatever party and of your Lordships' House. I am sure that they will.
Lord Mayhew: My Lords, the noble Earl quite rightly said that compared with preceding Bills this one is important. I agree. It is also a liberal Bill in its balance, especially in the courts martial reforms, which we discussed very little. It is a liberal Bill. That is the highest possible praise that a Bill can be given.
However, it is disappointing that the Third Reading should begin late on a Thursday evening and that the Committee stage should take place below stairs in the Moses Room. I also recall that the estimates debate was on a Friday morning. I must warn the Government that if they are not careful Parliament may resist the trend towards devaluing debates on defence that we have in the House. That may have happened in the opposition to the Bill in that we have not given the Government the benefit of the doubt on certain points: for example, the coming into operation of the pilot scheme. It is also true in the use of the usual channels. We have not given the Government the benefit of the doubt, and part of the reason is that the Government have not been generous to the House in their allocation of time and opportunity.
Nevertheless, we thank the noble Earl. He has taken infinite trouble in replying to our questions, not only courteously but in thorough detail. He never raises his voice in debate, and that is a great point, especially to those of us who come from the other place. If we have
It is hard to believe that the penalty will ever be used and that is a major point which the inquiry needs to consider. Not only is the number of offences for which it can be imposed limited, but also the offence must be committed with intent to help the enemy. Again, that makes its use unlikely. It is possible, though difficult, to imagine someone in our new volunteer professional Army being guilty of mutiny, but that would not lead to the imposition of the death penalty. It has to be mutiny at a time of war with intent to assist the enemy.
When the inquiry considers such points seriously, I am sure that it will conclude that the death sentence has become a relic, an anachronism which is no longer valid. It is not a matter of great concern. In our debate at the Committee stage I recall that the Minister mentioned strong feelings on the subject. I do not feel very strongly, because I regard the provision as an outworn relic which will never be used. The question the inquiry will have to ask is: what value is it to the Army? If it is not going to be used, what possible value can there be in keeping it? It does not help the image of our new Armed Forces at all. The idea of a firing squad contradicts everything that we project the Army as doing, and the idea of freedom. If the Minister had the desire and drive to abolish the death penalty in the Armed Forces, he would find that it would improve the image of the Army in the minds of the public. It would give it a friendlier feeling; and perhaps mothers and fathers would be rather more inclined to urge their daughters and sons to join.
I thank the Minister for taking this issue seriously and for setting up the inquiry. I am glad to hear that it will raise the fundamental questions involved. If it is properly administered and run, it will reach the conclusion that this is a very sensible, overdue reform.
Will the Minister tell the House a little about the administration of the inquiry? Who are to be its members, and when will it report? We shall follow the issue keenly and not wait for the next Bill in five years' time to raise it again. If, after 15 years, I am still spokesman on defence for the Liberal Democrats in this House, I shall certainly raise the matter when the provisions are renewed in a year's time.
Finally, I thank my absent colleague, the noble Lord, Lord Redesdale, who did the hard work in Committee. Again I express our warm appreciation of the way in which the noble Earl has answered our questions.
Earl Attlee: My Lords, I had not intended to speak to this Motion, not least because I have not yet had a substantial meal today. I listened with interest to the earlier remarks of the noble Lord, Lord Mayhew. He referred to the proceedings in the Moses Room. Those proceedings went extremely well, particularly in relation to the Reserve Forces Bill and, to a slightly lesser extent, on this Bill.
The noble Lord also referred to our tradition of having the debate on the Statement on the Defence Estimates late in the Session. Matters have improved quite a lot. My recollection is that, the year before last, it was practically the last business we took; the year before that it was definitely the last business. So the debate is being taken at a better time.
Perhaps I may address one or two other matters. I was disappointed that we did not have a full debate on the difficult question of homosexuality in the services--simply because this House has so much experience of service matters. I should like to have seen the balance of the arguments explored in this place. I feel that the debate could probably have been won by those who want a relaxation in the rules.
Taking part in the proceedings on this Bill has been a fascinating business. I am grateful to all who contributed.
Earl Howe: My Lords, I am conscious of the hour. I shall simply say that I am grateful for the remarks of all three noble Lords who just spoke.
In response to the query raised by the noble Lord, Lord Mayhew, the terms of reference of the review that we propose to undertake will be widely drawn. We are drawing them up now. We intend it to be an internal review involving officials, members of the Armed Forces and Ministers. I am not yet sure how long the review will take. We want it to be thorough. We want it to examine exactly those questions which the noble Lord raised. I am sure that when we have reached a conclusion, we shall wish to have a full debate. I have no doubt that your Lordships will not be slow in prompting such a debate. Having welcomed all the contributions that have been made, I commend the Bill to the House.
Returned from the Commons with one of the Lords amendments disagreed to with a reason for such disagreement and with the remaining amendments agreed to. Commons reason ordered to be printed.

Employer says you can't ride to work?
I stumbled across the following in my daily bike newsfeed… presenting KC metro area motivational speaker and bicycle commuter Corinna West with a lengthy and well-researched essay entitled "How to overcome your employer bicycle commuting objections".
Such a thing has never happened to me, and I hope it never happens to you…but I can see how some employers, fueled by a well-meaning but misguided sense of concern for an employee's safety or the fear of liability, could try to put the kibosh on two-wheeled transportation to and from the workplace. If such a thing happens, Ms. West's article provides the ammo and gentle persuasions to help overcome the situation. Take a look at it by clicking here.
We've recently discussed whether bike commuting can seem unprofessional, and this issue sort of goes hand in hand with that — one of many potential hurdles a bike commuter may have to face when choosing two wheels over four.
We'd love to hear if any of you out there in reader-land have faced such challenges…please leave your stories, comments and thoughts below.

ABSTRACT: Gender nonconforming youth are an underserved population who obstetrician–gynecologists are seeing increasingly in their practices. Currently, there are large gaps in training, knowledge, and comfort with transgender patients among obstetrician–gynecologists. The purpose of this document is to review current recommendations that apply to an obstetrician–gynecologist. It is important for obstetrician–gynecologists to be aware of the social and mental health risks for the transgender population. Consensus guidelines support initiating medical therapy after an adolescent has an establi...

(Reaffirmed 2017)
ABSTRACT: The reprocessing and reuse of single-use instruments has become increasingly common. Although there are limited data on reprocessed single-use devices, existing studies have found a significant rate of physical defects, performance issues, or improper decontamination. There are currently no data in the medical literature of studies evaluating the cost-effectiveness of reprocessed single-use devices in gynecologic surgery. The use of a reprocessed single-use device provides no direct benefit to an individual patient or her physician. It is the operating surgeon's ethical responsibili...
Committee Opinion Number 512, December 2011
ABSTRACT: Transgender individuals face harassment, discrimination, and rejection within our society. Lack of awareness, knowledge, and sensitivity in health care communities eventually leads to inadequate access to, underutilization of, and disparities within the health care system for this population. Although the care for these patients is often managed by a specialty team, obstetrician–gynecologists should be prepared to assist or refer transgender individuals with routine treatment and screening as well as hormonal and surgical therapies.

Irish Blessing, the acclaimed York, Pa based family band, intensely & unapologetically carries on the purest forms of traditional Irish music & dance.
Jonathon Srour
Jonathon is a four-time tour member of Michael Flatley's LORD OF THE DANCE, traveling and performing from Galway to Jerusalem. Ranked #5 in the world in 2005 for Irish dance, Jonathon is also a current performer in the mixed-genre group HAMMERSTEP out of New York City who were recently favorites on America's Got Talent. He has also graced the stage in other touring dance shows such as MAGIC OF THE DANCE, FEET OF FLAMES, and as a cast member in RIVERDANCE. Jonathon has also qualified two times to compete in the All-Ireland Championships of Irish music, having won the Fleadh Ceol in New Jersey and is a three-time Senior Belt holder of North America, making him America's premier competitive Irish dancer. He brings power and electricity to the stage with his dance, and adds soaring melodies to the show with his flute.
Josh Srour
Josh has the rare and dual distinction of having competed in the world championships for both music and dance. Having qualified at the New Jersey Fleadh Ceol twice, Josh has established himself as one of America's most promising young fiddle players. He has been known to share the stage with greats such as Brian Conway, Billy McComiskey, Brendan Dolan, Isaac Alderson, and Sean Earnest. Josh has competed at the regional, national, and world championship level in Irish dance and has twice been on the faculty of the Westchester Irish Arts Weekend, teaching dance classes. He's known for his "flying feet" on the dance floor and his exhilarating fiddle that gets toes a-tapping for spirited jigs and reels.
Cushla Srour
Hailing from New Zealand with Irish roots, Cushla provides strong rhythmic accompaniment on the piano and lilting phrases on the whistle and flute. Having recently been selected as a Deputy Marshal in the Baltimore St. Patrick's Day parade for Irish Charities of Maryland, Cushla is well-known for her involvement in promoting Irish music and culture throughout the Pennsylvania and greater Maryland areas. She has emceed for many events and shows, including a Celtic Christmas concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. in December, 2013. She is most recognized as the emcee for the Penmar Irish Festival and the annual Maryland Irish Festival and also heads its renowned music competition. Cushla is instrumental in booking, hosting, and promoting some of the most influential and prolific artists to have arisen from this tradition. Having also qualified for world championships at the Fleadh Ceol, Cushla finds equal enjoyment in playing and promoting traditional Irish music and dance.
Jim Srour
Jim began his traditional Irish drumming career at the Catskills Irish Arts Week with instruction from bodhran player and music historian, Myron Bretoltz. Finding interest in his wife Cushla's passion for Irish culture, Jim picked up the traditional style of percussion quickly and has been playing with Irish Blessing ever since. A doctor by day, Jim expresses his artistic side on stage with his driving rhythms and bittersweet low whistle harmonies. Jim is also an avid skier and farm boy.
The History of Irish Blessing
The Irish are known for offering toasts and blessings to those with whom they share a meal or a roof for a night. Their words are inspiring and poetic and often bring a smile from those listening—though, if you know anything of the history of Ireland, the lot of the Irish has never been an easy one. Yet their words continue to bless, their pipes continue to play, and their feet continue to dance.
It is in this spirit of unconquerable hope that the group Irish Blessing was created. The birth of Irish Blessing began humbly—in the renovated Srour family basement studio in York, PA—yet with a clear vision of presenting the purest form of inspirational traditional Irish dance to the world. These humble beginnings have bloomed into a highly-acclaimed dance and music troupe that travels around the world, blessing audiences from New York to New Zealand with toe-tapping melodies, powerful dance, and infectious enthusiasm. In ten years of success, Irish Blessing has shared stages with Irish 'super groups' including The Teetotalers, Beoga, Trian, Pride of New York, Goitse, Teada, Girsa, and Rattle the Boards. They are veterans and continued guests at The Pennsylvania Celtic Fling, The Pittsburg Irish Festival, Maryland Irish Festival, Penn-Mar Irish Festival, and Whare Flat Folk Fest in Otago, New Zealand.
Their commitment to the Irish tradition, their drive for excellence, their focus on bringing hope and inspiration to the world is unchanging.

What is the best approach to keep proper levels of FC in the pool while on vacation for 10 days? I don't have a automatic chlorinator.

What is the best approach to keep proper levels of FC in the pool while on vacation for 10 days? I don't have a automatic chlorinator.
Thanks -
20x40 30,000 gal IG Liner, Pentair II Sand
Lot's of pucks in a few floaters? May lead to CYA issues, depending on where your at currently.
Find someone you trust and is responsible and delegate adding bleach nightly?
Other than that, the 8 gal liquidator gets my vote.
I wouldn't think using pucks for 10 days while on vacation would greatly reduce the CYA. How much CYA does one puck raise 10K gallons of water?
20K IG Gunite w/ raised 7ft spillover spa. 1.5 HP Hayward Northstar pump 425 sq ft Hayward cartridge filter, Colorlogic lights AquaRite SWG AquaLogic PS-8 control
1hp pump for sheer descent
Going from memory, I believe almost half the weight of a puck is CYA. So, an 8oz puck would add 4oz of CYA, roughly. What that ultimately does to the CYA level after 10 days will depend on how many pucks it takes and the current level. May or may not be a problem.Originally Posted by tagprod
I have no experience with floaters. Not sure how long it takes pucks to dissolve in them, or how many pucks it might take to cover 10 days, if it's even possible.
One 8-ounce Trichlor puck (note that they vary in weight -- some are 6 or 7 ounces) in 10,000 gallons will raise the FC by 5.5 ppm and will raise the CYA by 3.3 ppm.
16,000 gallon outdoor in-ground 16'x32' plaster pool; Pentair Intelliflo VF pump; Pentair IntelliTouch i9+3s control system; Jandy CL-340 square foot cartridge filter
12 Fafco solar panels; Purex Triton PowerMax 250 natural gas heater (200,000 BTU/hr output); automatic electric pool safety cover; 4-wheel pressure-side "The Pool Cleaner"
I had a friend who owns a pool "and understands" the situation, pour some bleach on day 4 and day 8 and I came home to crystal clear water. It's not necessary for it to be checked every day. Perhaps there is someone that can stop by once or twice and add some bleach for you?
Helpful links: Pool School; CYA/Chlorine Chart
24' round AG pool, 52" high, Raypak heater; Waterway 2 spd Pump;
150 Sq ft. Clearwater Cartridge Filter; Former and DISSATISFIED "Pool Frog" owner
Perfectly Clear Pool Service, Find me on Facebook!
If you have a cover, any type of cover, heck you could use some landscape plastic, dump some bleach in to bring your FC level up then cover it, with no sunlight it will reduce your clorine consumption,
$150 will get you a solar cover, when you get back from vaction pool will not only be clear but warmer
13,000 IG Plaster, 2hp whisperflo pump, 48 sq in pentair DE Filter, 1 skimmer, 2 eyeball outlets, 200 sq ft solar panels on second story, Auto Pilot SWG-36, Polaris ATV Cleaner

Hello, my name is Emily Hayes and I am one of the leaders for The Ronald's Rescue organization at Padua Academy, a catholic high school for girls. Ronald's Rescue helps raise money for the local Ronald McDonald House in Wilmington, Delaware. The House is a place where families with children who are staying at area hospitals can have a place to call home. Money can become an issue for many families during these rough times. Our goal is to raise money for The Ronald McDonald House so the they are able to house these families. For the past three years I have had hands on expereince with The House which has opened my eyes to the many struggles these families are faced with. It is important for these families to know they have a safe and supportive environment to stay in. We have two major fundraisers at Padua Academy in effort to help support those families with financial burdens. The Wiffle Ball Tournament is one of our major fundraisers which allow members of the Padua community to come together to not only raise awareness about the Ronald McDonald House and the needs of families, but to participate in the activities as students of the school. The tournament will be held on Sunday, April 26th at Rockford Park at 12:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome! Our goal is to raise $10,000 in total, so please help us reach this goal by donating today. All proceeds will go directly to the families and children in need.

Anthony Hilson, 46, killed cycling on the A4 - driver sentenced for causing death by dangerous driving
A driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after Anthony Hilson was killed cycling on the A4 at Hare Hatch, near Twyford, Berkshire, on a Sunday morning.
The driver of the grey Honda Accord, 37-year-old Victoria McClure from Charvil, has been bailed until November.
McClure has been bailed a second time until Jan 17th and will appear at Reading Magistrates Court.
McClure will stand trial on July 22nd.
She pleaded guilty to killing Anthony Hilson on the A4 near Twyford on September 16 when she appeared at Reading Crown Court on Wednesday March 27th.
She claims Mr Hilson's death was caused by careless rather than dangerous driving as she was not distracted at the wheel. Richard Clews, defending, told the court the cyclist may have been stationary at the time of the collision and that he was wearing dark clothing, making him less visible.
He said: "The evidence has to meet the high threshold for the dangerous driving conviction. I suggest that the evidence is not sufficient under the circumstances."
Charles Ward-Jackson, prosecuting, called on evidence from an expert who estimated that when driving at 40mph to 50mph, which is what McClure claims she was doing, it would take 22 to 27 seconds to travel 500m. He said: "In this case we have an empty, open road with exceptional visibility where you can see 500m, which is about as far as you can possibly see on an open road.
Judge Zoe Smith said: "Although the defendant has accepted her driving falls below the test for a competent and careful driver, the facts are that at around 10.40am on a Sunday morning a collision occurred on the A4.
"Mr Hilson was on a bike and, even accepting that he was stationary on his bike, it would appear that there should have been some 500m in which the defendant would have been able to see him.
"It is said that he was wearing dark cloth but the fact is that the defendant did not see the cyclist until the point of collision itself. She was unable to take any diverting action.
"You could consider that she was driving along that stretch far below the standard of a competent and careful driver. I conclude that a jury could convict for dangerous driving on the facts of this case."
At the trial of Victoria McClure at Reading Crown Court, the court heard that McClure 'drove blind' for almost 20 seconds before hitting Anthony Hilson, allegedly using the zoom function on her car's built-in satnav.
Prosecutor Matthew Walsh said Mr Hilson had been out for a Sunday morning ride on the A4 Bath Road near Twyford, Berkshire, where motorists typically had about 500m visibility.
He told the jury at Reading crown court: 'Assuming she's travelling at the speed limit of 60mph, it takes about 18 seconds to cover the distance – that's the length of time she would have had the cyclist in her view.
'There weren't any skid marks on the road to suggest emergency braking or any evasive action.'
McClure, from Reading, was breathalysed at the scene and gave a negative reading, the court heard.
The trial continues and is expected to last three days.
After a 4-day trial the jury unanimously returned a guilty verdict. McClure will be sentenced on August 30th at Reading Crown Court. Judge Nick Wood handed McClure an interim driving ban until she is sentenced.
Baljit Ubhey OBE, chief crown prosecutor for Thames and Chiltern Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said that evidence showed that McClure has plenty of time to have seen and driven around Mr Hilson.
He said her playing with the sat nav was "an avoidable distraction, which caused an avoidable death".
"It should act as a warning to others that any distraction while driving can have very serious consequences," he said.
Victoria McClure was sentenced today at Reading Crown Court. She was given an 18 month prison term, 2 and a half year driving ban and ordered to pass an extended re-test before retaining her licence (extended re-tests are compulsory for dangerous driving offences).
In issuing the sentence, the judge took into consideration several mitigating factors. He considered McClure's good character, her charity work, the welfare of her 2 children (aged 8 and 5) who the defence argued should not be denied parental support, and he discounted McClure's previous speeding convictions as speed was not a factor in the incident.
We are pleased that the CPS pursued a prosecution for causing death by dangerous driving. However, the sentence McClure received is below the minimum sentence for this offence as stated in the sentencing guidelines (2-5 years for a 'low level' offence). CTC would have preferred to see a much longer driving ban.

On Saturday, February 12, 2011, Charleston, WV will host a very exciting event. Supposedly if people blog about this, it can become a Wikipedia entry. Here is the sample text that might compose the forthcoming wikipedia entry about this forthcoming event (Thanks to Danny Chiotos!) For the record, at least one member of the 2010 Grumble Run was carried – a little puppy. Somehow I ended up in charge of the puppy carrying. It was epic:
The Grumble Run is an annual event hosted in Charleston, West Virginia on Valentine's Day Weekend. It was founded in 2010 when Charleston native, Stephanie Tyree, challenged Charleston residents to organize a 5k "run." This run resulted in more than twenty people coming together for a one of its kind "run." The Grumble Run takes the existing idea of running 5,000 meters and transforms it into a fun-themed event of going 5k through whatever means is available without wheels. 2010 saw runners walk – and some jog – the full 5k with many breaks for smoking, conversation, and gummy worms.
This event is paired with an annual Anti-Valentines Day Party that happens during the evening after the "Run". The 2011 Run is happening in Charleston, WV and will take participants from the East End of Charleston to Downtown and back to the East End. This run is happening on February 12, 2011 and has set the goal of at least 25 "runners" participating.
Addendum: Stephanie Tyree made all of the runners those patch things that runners wear in real 5k runs using glitter paint.
PSS: It was snowing at last years grumble run.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 10, 2013
The Seattle Interactive Conference is the largest interactive, technology and creativity-focused event in the Pacific Northwest that brings together a schedule of keynote presentations, panels, workshops and master classes for brands, technologists, creative leaders and entrepreneurs. Page Sands, Vice President of Social Marketing for R2integrated, a digital marketing and technology agency, will be among the digital trendsetters sharing thought leadership with more than 3,000 attendees.
This year's annual SIC is October 28-30 and will take place at the downtown Seattle Conference Center. Talk tracks are focused on Develop, Design and Digital topics and are intended to educate attendees about disruptive technologies, best practices and forward-thinking business models.
Page will be speaking on the ever-evolving topic of social analytics. His session, titled "Social Analytics: Why you need more than likes," is scheduled for Wednesday, October 30 from 10:10-11:10 a.m. He will discuss how marketers can easily get distracted by the immediate gratification having a Twitter post re-tweeted or a Facebook photo shared. While these engagements are part of the base level of data provided by social channels they are not always the core metrics that matter. Page will share how to evaluate the metrics that have the most meaning and will reveal the insights that can be gleaned from them through new social listening and monitoring tools. He will discuss how marketers can understand how their campaigns are performing in both owned and un-owned properties so they can not only create content that people will like and share, but be better positioned to evaluate ROI.
The Social Analytics session is categorized in the Digital talk track and is a topic r2i often covers in speaking engagements. Page has been a featured speaker at Microsoft, digiday, Inbound Marketing Summit and the Puget Sound Business Journal.
SIC features over 120 speakers including such keynote speakers as Rand Fishkin, CEO of Moz; Roy Sekoff, Founding Editor of the Huffington Post; and Callie Schweitzer, Director of Digital Innovation for TIME Magazine. The three-day event brings in more than 3,000 attendees from the Pacific Northwest region as well as across the country. Online registration is available.

Jeremy McCarter on 'The Sopranos': Tony and Company Are America, Post-9/11
We should have seen this coming. For 86 episodes, David Chase has shown us characters absorbed in the picayune little details of life, even as threats of violence and catastrophe lurk around every corner (and jukebox). Had Chase killed off Tony or his family, or shown them riding triumphant in the sunshine, he would have put a limit on that view of the world: "Life is messy and dangerous... and then it kills you in the end," or "Life is messy and dangerous... but things turn out okay in the end." The series has shown too large a spirit to be pinned down that way. After all the tense references to Revelations and the end times this season, the finale is pure Ecclesiastes: The whole point is that there is no end, even when it comes time to say "The End" — or, in this case, "Whaddya gonna do?"
The last two episodes of The Sopranos form what strikes me as the most incisive and disturbing picture yet produced of post-9/11 America. The parallels are too clear to ignore: violence inflicted by a man who "goes to ground," then terror as the early warnings (the tip from Agent Harris) aren't heeded and defenses break down (Bobby forgets his cellphone, Silvio doesn't have his gun), leading to terrible pain both for the intended victim and for innocent bystanders (the utterly gratuitous death of the guy on the motorcycle after Silvio is shot). Next for the family, as for all of us, came militant paranoia. No single image in the series has frightened me as much as the shot of Tony, separated from his family, curling up in an empty bedroom with a machine gun: an instant, nightmarish icon of our time.
The finale brought us to the stage of frantic, clumsy responses to the attack (A.J. wants to learn Arabic, or kill Arabs, or maybe both), followed by the last and most damning stage of all: forgetfulness. At some point in the episode, everybody stopped talking about the war they'd just survived and reverted to their old selfish interests. Tony visits A.J.'s shrink, and ends up obsessing once more about his troubles with his mother, drawing one of the all-time great here-we-go-again looks from Carmela. (And is there any doubt at this point that Edie Falco is giving as intricate, deeply felt, and complete a performance as we'll ever see? She says more with looks like that one than even good actors manage to convey in entire episodes: week after week, a quiet miracle.) A.J. decides that Hollywood and dating a model is better than whatever it was he'd planned to do, and the family goes back to munching onion rings. How else was the series supposed to end? It's shown us exactly what we've become -- as ever, for better and worse. —Jeremy McCarter

If popular culture dictates who young people will look up to and respect, then Harry Potter is a good choice. He is brave and incredibly loyal to his friends. If we look at others taking over our media--the Kardashians, etc.--I think there are not many good role models in general out there.
Yes, Harry Potter is a good role model for today's youth. he gives children and teens hope and shows them that there is still magic in the world. He gives them imagination and creativity and encourages and inspires them to be these things. He is a great role model for people all ages today.
Ever since his creation, Harry Potter has been a source of contention, particularly among those who allege that he corrupts the youth by encouraging them to believe in magic. I believe the opposite: Harry Potter encourages creative thinking, critical problem solving skills, and most importantly of all, the value of friendship and how having strong interpersonal relationships can get you out of any difficult situation.
After 19 years of global fandom, Harry Potter is still a valid role model who does the right thing in the face of adversity and evil. This same set of characteristics he used to succeed across the first six books are the same characteristics the youth of multiple countries need for guidance of how to be better, act better, make the world better.

- Recruitment
English is the subject at the heart of teaching and learning. Language enables students to communicate, to question, to understand and to progress. Because of this, teachers in the English department believe we have a responsibility to ensure that our provision for students at Alder is of the very highest standard.
There are seven full time teachers of English including an Assistant Headteacher and the SENCO. We also have a full time Curriculum Tutor who supports learners within the classroom. We are all passionate about the subject and aim to inspire students to share in our love of language and literature. Teachers in the English department are committed to working hard in order to achieve the best for our students.
We believe the English curriculum is incredibly exciting. Through the development of Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening, young people are introduced to critical methods and ways of thinking which will stay with them for the rest of their lives. It is our aim to create schemes of work and activities that have 'real life' relevance and develop key skills that will be essential in adulthood.
At Key Stage 3, students usually work in ability groups. This enables us to differentiate more effectively and target the individual needs of students. Students will study a range of texts appropriate to their ability and interests; these will vary for each year group and for differing abilities. All year groups study reading skills, writing skills and speaking and listening in order to be prepared for their GCSEs.
In Year 7 students study: Viewpoint Writing, Non-Fiction Detective Texts, one novel (Skellig or Stone Cold), Oliver Twist, Macbeth, An Introduction to Teen Fiction, Presentation Skills and An Introduction to Poetry.
In year 8 students study: Creative Writing, one play (Private Peaceful or Our Day Out), Viewpoint Writing using Once as a stimulus, a novel study (Jekyll and Hyde or Holes), Non-Fiction Environmental Texts, Presentation Skills and Poetry from Other Cultures and Traditions.
In year 9 students are introduced to their GCSE texts and skills. They study : Of Mice and Men, Travel Writing (Non-Fiction), An Introduction to Romeo and Juliet, Extracts from The Woman in Black, An Introduction to Conflict Poetry, An Introduction to Frankenstein and Presentation Skills.
At Key Stage 4, we follow the AQA syllabus for GCSE. Our aim is that all students leave Alder with a recognised qualification in English Language and in English Literature. All assessments now take the form of terminal examinations. To prepare for the English Language qualification, students are exposed to a range of Non-Fiction and Fiction texts and learn how to write creatively and to show viewpoint. In preparation for their English Literature examination, they study 15 poems from the AQA 'Power and Conflict' Anthology, a 20th century text (An Inspector Calls), a Shakespeare play (Romeo and Juliet), a 19th century text (Frankenstein) and a selection of Unseen Poetry.
To enrich the curriculum, we organise trips to theatres, libraries and cinemas. Library club runs at lunch time every day and a Year 7 book club runs once a fortnight. Intervention and revision classes are run by all members of the department, at lunch times, after school and during the holidays. We also run the 'Food For Thought' revision programme with the Maths department where students are taught extra English and Maths lessons after school and are then provided with a curry!

|CD4, AIDS and Immunizations
Jan 1, 2006
I understand that there are a store of CD4 in the body that are used to produce new copies of CD4 that have the "memory" of previous illnesses faught.
If a person's CD4 count lowers significantly enough as to deplete the stores of the CD4 which are used to clone new CD4, due to HIV, is it posible to assist the body in fighting off future infections from common illnesses by getting immunizations to these illnesses (ie MMR, Polio, etc) once the body has produced enough new CD4 while on HAART? If not, why?
Thanks for your help!
Response from Dr. Pierone
The repertoire of CD4 lymphocyte mediated memory becomes somewhat curtailed as a result of HIV infection. But after initiation of HAART and CD4 count reconstitution the ability of the immune system to respond to vaccines does improve considerably. This is actually one of the strategies that we use in the management of HIV infection. Sometimes we defer indicated vaccines until after initiation of antiretroviral therapy for this specific reason.

Great Salmon Oil but the soft gel capsules are a bit too large
Yes, I would recommend these Carlson Brand Natural Norwegian Salmon Oil Soft Gel Capsules to a friend because they are natural and good for your heart, brain, joint, and vision. Also the soft gel capsules are edible but a little too hard to swallow due to their large size. I chew them until the oil seeps out of them and swallow the oil. Then I throw away the left over shell, but that's just how I do it.
The taste of the salmon oil really isn't that bad. It's just tastes a little fishy; less than when compared to regular fish oil.

Takahashi Saito, Ichiro, Disneyland and Angels' game travel packages
by Gen on Dec.19, 2009 @ 7:45 pm, under MLB
Takashi Saito started up his training on Friday. Working out with him were Chikara Onodera (SEI), Jun Yamamoto (SEI), and Yasuhiro Ichiba (YAK). The four worked out for about 2 hours.
Saito kept things light and spent most of the giving tips and pointers to the three other pitchers.
Seems the Walt Disney Company is contacting travel agencies in Tokyo about setting up tour packages that would allow travelers to take in Disneyland during the day and an Angels' game at night.
Ichiro worked out for about an hour on Friday. Aside from stretching and playing some catch, Ichiro also took about 74 swings of the bat under the watchful eyes of players like Yoshiyuki Kamei and Tetsuya Matsumoto.
Ryota Igarashi becomes the 11th Japanese player the Mets have signed over the years. He'll likely be used in the 8th inning.
Igarashi will continue his training in Arizona until early January. It seems there's also a chance Mets' pitching coach Dan Warthen might drop by to catch one of his training sessions.

Comedy Fest Q&A - Paul Ego
Tell us the name of your show:
'AMAZINGBALLS' (I like to use the full version of the word as it appeared in the New Testament)
Which came first - the show name or the content?
The content definitely. Then once I was content with the content I got a baby names book and chose something that matched what the show was looking like…and it looked more like an 'Amazingballs' than a Tobias or a Sophie.
C'mon be honest...
I'm being 100% honest not including GST, that's as close as it gets for me.
Any other working titles for the show?
Yep, originally it was gonna be called CHOICE or HORSE but my wife didn't like those as girl's names.
How long - honestly - have you been working on this?
The majority of it has been honed on-stage over the past couple of years but some of it I've just thought of in the past couple of weeks. Plus I'll probably throw in some stuff I haven't worked on at all.
What's been the biggest challenge of pulling this show together?
Waiting to start! Once I had the name of the show I just wanted to do it straight away. I'm very impatient and get bored easily.
Who is your biggest comedy rival - and why? Currently it's my 14 year old son, he loves his comedy, is better at voices than me and he has more energy. He's tried out for the Class Comedians programme a couple of times but he's too young yet to go through.
Who's your biggest comedy friend - and why?
Jeremy Corbett. Much as I mock him on 7Days he's a great sounding board for ideas as we have a similar sense of humour and love silliness more than anything.
Which show is your must see?
Well I'd be an idiot if I didn't say mine wouldn't I?
Give us your definition of a great night out during the festival?
Thai food, couple of beers, then cram in a 7pm show, then an 8.30, then a 10pm and then a Late'n'Live.
What goes through your mind, the minute before the curtain goes up?
Did I go to the toilet?
What about when you are on stage?
I should have gone to the toilet.
How easily distracted are you?
Sorry, I was outside riding my bike, what?
Give us your comedy dream line up:
MC Tim Shadbolt followed by Craig Campbell, Ricky Gervais, Louis CK, Eddie Izzard and a baby called Charlie who bites his brother's finger.
Just finally, where will you be in 5 years time?
About to open my new show 'Phenomenuts'

The Coast Ride 2018
Welcome Back Cycling Friends!
It's that time again… get psyched for this year's EPIC CYCLING ADVENTURE.
This year's "Coast Ride" will be from January 13th – 15th (Sat, Sun, and Mon) 2018.
We are excited to return to Sports Basement to start our journey down the coast. We will start bright and early as usual – arrive at 7:00am so we can roll by 7:45. We end in Santa Barbara for our standard 375 miles of gorgeous coastline cycling plus a new inland adventure on Day 2 (thanks to mudslides) that may or may not include Nacimiento Road. New friendships are born, old friendships add a few more stories to the treasure chest, and plenty of calories will be burned.
Did you know that over 70% of our riders have done it before? Is this your 2nd time? Third or fourth? Maybe your fifth or your tenth? Or your very first? Everyone is welcome! Just bring safe riding skills (never more than two abreast), a very small and light pack, and your positive attitude!
For you newbies – welcome! You are in for an experience that you will remember forever. Please read through the rest of the site thoroughly. And make sure your fitness level is ready for the coast!
As we enter the holiday season, starting with Thanksgiving, remember to build your foundation of distance, stay healthy, and get psyched!
Lastly, a few reminders and requests to help keep the organization side of the ride under control - - Please: 1) Register, 2) Sign the Waiver, 3) Pay. We use the funds well before the ride takes place for things like renting the SAG vans, getting insurance in place, and other logistics. You can go to the Discussions area (forums) to arrange a carpool ride home, find a roommate, or ask questions about anything!
Let's Do This!
** Stay tuned for updates and more info here for 2018. **

Find damaged BMW vehicles for sale by searching for salvaged vehicles on sites such as eRepairables.com, AutoBidMaster.com, SalvageBid.com and eBay.com, as of 2015. A car receives a salvage title when it experiences enough damage for the insurance company to declare the costs of repairs more than the price of replacing the vehicle.Continue Reading
The site eRepairables.com focuses exclusively on salvage vehicles, offering tools to narrow its inventory to only BMW cars as well as to specific models and seller locations. It functions on an auction system, though it is possible to purchase some cars directly. Some listings also appear on the site before the sale officially begins.
AutoBidMaster.com offers pictures and descriptions for each vehicle on the site and also provides tools to filter listings to only BMW vehicles. Listings include the current minimum bid, the cost for shipping the vehicle, and the ability to buy select vehicles for a flat price before an auction begins.
SalvageBid.com allows users to choose any type of BMW vehicle in its search tool, although the site does not always carry vehicles other than cars. The site allows users to build a watch list of current auctions, which sends updates about changes in prices or new bids.
The auction site eBay.com contains a section for salvage auto sales, which includes tools to limit listings to BMW models. However, this section often incorrectly lists vehicles with little or no damage in addition to actual salvage title cars.Learn more about Buying & Selling

ONITSHA, Nigeria (Reuters) - An improvised explosive device detonated at a radio station in the central Nigerian state of Kogi Monday night killing at least four people, police said on Tuesday.
It was unclear whether the attack on the local language Ta'o FM station in Okene town was orchestrated by Nigeria's Boko Haram militants or the powerful organized robbery and kidnapping rings that operate in the West African country.
"Three security guards and an engineer working for the station were killed. We are investigating who could be responsible and why," Shola Adebayo, the public relations officer for state police, told Reuters.
Adebayo said police believed Ta'o FM was the target.
While Kogi is a way off from northeastern Nigeria, where Islamist group Boko Haram has waged a six-year insurgency, the region has also experienced intermittent attacks by the militants intent on creating a caliphate in west Africa.

Credit Score And Its Importance
A credit score is a numerical measure to analyze a person's credit file. Credit history is reported by more than one credit bureaus that keep track of your credit report and are recognized by the government. Understanding the credit score, what it is based on and how it is calculated will help you attain a high credit score and also to maintain it. A clear understanding of the credit score will also tell you how to improve your credit score. A credit score is a score that ranges from 300 to 900 and the higher the score the better chances you stand of availing several benefits from loans and insurance to a stable job.
To have a credit score it is essential to have an account of at least six months old. The credit score of a person with no credit history is -1 while the credit score of a person with an account of fewer than six months is considered as 0. From here the person has to build his credit score by having an impeccable credit history. The method of calculation of credit score may vary from one bureau to another implying that your credit score will vary from one to another. There are credit scores such as FICO score that takes into account at least three scores from three different credit bureaus and reports your score. This is a quick reference for potential loaners and employers of your credit worthiness.
The credit score is calculated based on several factors such as the age of account, amount of available credit, credit history and payment history. Each of these factors has an assigned numerical value and the credit score is weighed based on how these factors affect credit worthiness.
The best part about credit score is that they are based on how you manage your finances meaning that there are ways you can enhance your score and it isn't permanent. It changes or is maintained based upon your actions. The older your credit account, the better and positive effect it will have on your credit history. Do not open too many credit accounts at a time as they may raise questions from creditors and will affect the score negatively. Similarly, do not close credit accounts all at once, keep them open and limit usage even when you are low on funds. Keep your debts low and ideally, use only up to 30% of your credit limit. Make payments and meet deadlines without fail.
Check your credit history for errors and dispute them. Negotiate with creditors for considerations before there is a negative mark on the credit history. Sometimes it so happens that even after following all these methods, your credit score may be low, this is probably because your credit files haven't caught the attention of credit bureaus. Take essential measures to stay in their good books.
Time and again it is emphasized that regular payment of bills before the deadline is the best way to keep credit scores high. A good credit score will ensure that loaners take you seriously, insurance companies are ready to offer their services willingly and employers trust you with responsibilities.
