Talk:Spellblade (3.5e Prestige Class)
From D&D Wiki
Rating - 2/10[edit]
I am quite pleased with the flavourful aspect of the prerequisites here. By mixing spellcasting, base attack bonus and the weapon bonding a platform is established for the class to stand on. Unfortunately, it's a little shaky in the wording for pretty much every requirement except "base attack bonus +5". Some are meager: I know exactly what the author means when he says "any 4 touch spells", but it would be clearer if he explicitly stated that the character must be capable of casting four spells with a range of touch. WotC has typically used either caster level or the ability to cast a level of spells as a measure instead of levels in a class, which is unfair to the player (negative levels, anyone?). The weapon focus, on the other hand, steps too far in saying that the specified weapon must also be owned by the player. That brings in the ambiguous nature of possession touched on by the Book of Exalted Deeds Vow of Poverty. As well, it suggests that without this one sword the character owns he suddenly voids the prerequisites of the class. Does the character suddenly lose his powers if his Weapon Focus (longsword) goes missing and he uses a rapier (or even worse: his sword is sundered)? Does he acrue negative levels? Can he still cast spells?
The Table
Having two base attack bonus scales is silly. It puts too much work on the player. As well, it insults the character's melee abilities. A fighter can fight with equal skill no matter which weapon he uses (barring non-proficiencies, of course); why should a spellblade be crippled? The focus on a single weapon is quite adequately covered by the weapon focus series, which the spellblade gains throughout the progression.
With the stringent focus on touch attacks it makes me wonder why the large increase in spellcasting is necessary. After all, there are horribly few touch attack spells in the player's handbook. The only damaging one that comes to mind at low levels is Shocking Grasp, and I don't recall there being any damaging touch attacks at higher levels (kinda defeats the point of spells like Power Word: Kill, Horrid Wilting, and Polar Ray). An odd progression of spellcasting should be sufficient for this class, especially considering the special abilities it has. (speaking of odd progressions, the base save tables are incorrect)
Class Features
I hate this section.
First of all, the feats. Through normal leveling this class gains eight free feats. Over ten levels. That's more than the fighter. As well, why would a class that focuses on single target burst damage (via the channelling ability) need to cleave or do gibbing damage? These are fighter staples gentlemen, not gish ones.
Channelblade is broke. As in it doesn't work. I understand the class needing to cast spells through swords (spellblade lol) but why on earth is the amount of times the character can strike with weapon damage limited? That's not what Spellsword did, because there should be no limit on how many times you can swing your sword in a day (unless you're dead or reading Tome of Battle). Without the ability to strike for weapon damage during a Channelblade then this class is simply a glorified vessel for casting touch attacks. You should know that a touch spell does not count as an unarmed attack: it does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Channelblade has been mixed around: the limit should lie in the amount of times a character can imbue his sword with a spell (a limit that should not be set by the amount of spells known).
Sword Mastery I actually appreciate. I just think it was implemented incorrectly. That dual base attack progression could be implemented as a non-proficiency penalty: say, -2 for two handed swords, -4 for weapons with a haft, and -6 for ranged weapons. Or by making the base attack bonus equal to the rogue progression (0 to 15 over twenty levels) and allowing the weapon focus to emulate Sword Mastery.
Somatic Mastery is a little silly flavourful and totally broken mechanically. This is an ability that allows a character to automatically cast and attack with a touch spell from melee with NO PENALTY. Touch attacks on average attack an AC anywhere from 9 to 14. By the time the character is high enough in level to gain this class feature he will probably have an attack bonus of 6-9. That's basically a free hit. Every round. No.
One addition I recommend to improve the class is some sort of sword bonding, similar to the Kensai. The class already forces the player to choose a single weapon with the weapon focus prerequisite, so you might as well stay with this model for the entire progression. At the very least the class abilities should only apply to the weapon focused sword (and honestly, if you've taken weapon focus there should be no reason besides outside intervention for you to be using any other weapon).
This could work. Unfortunately, I don't like the idea as a whole because of three different classes: Spellsword, Kensai, and Eldritch Knight. The Spellblade seems like a hodgepodge of the three tweaked to obtain maximum damage output. Disregarding my more extreme opinions I give this a 3/10 for a poor execution of an already used idea and a flavour text that could easily be talking about a Spellsword.

Ubisoft has announced that the PC version of the game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will be available in stores and for digital download on June 12th and that it will be supporting stereoscopic 3D. The most interesting thing here however is the fact that it is not the usual stereo 3D support announcement that we see coming with Nvidia's 3D vision Ready game titles, or the more rare AMD HD3D nativr support announcements, this time it is "TriDef stereoscopic support". Now, that does not mean that you will not be able to play the game in stereo 3D mode using other 3D-capable solutions such as 3D Vision or AMD HD3D, or even with iZ3D, it just means that the game will be optimized for best results when using DDD's TriDef 3D software.
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier PC version features:
– PC high standard visuals (DX11 renderer, new high-quality assets, new post process effects, multi-monitor solutions support, TriDef stereoscopic support).
– DirectX11 enhanced: tessellation (for soft 3D models), compute shaders-based realistic lighting (for global illumination), volumetric fog.
– Online widget: Party, Friends and Ghost Feed functionality can be accessed at any moment from any screen
– Extended party functionality: simplified and more flexible invitation system
– Party text chat
– Uplay Friends system
– Fully customizable controls for the localized keyboards
The stereoscopic 3D support however is just one of the extra features that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will support as it will be a DX11 game title and will also offer multi-monitor solutions support (supposedly will look good in stereo 3D multi-monitor setups as well). The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 console versions of the game are scheduled to be released on May 22nd in North America and there is no word about stereoscopic 3D support in them, so they will most likely not have S3D support.
– The Game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is already available for Pre-order…

Above is the work i did for a Character Design project, creating two interacting characters from soho. I decided to create a tramp by the name of Gilbert Wilde and a bohemian nymph goddess.
The Tragedy of Soho
Gilbert had never had a good life, from being a small child he learnt that most of the world was cruel harsh and uncaring. Being raised by and abusive family and then a foster home not suitable for even the filthiest of animals. Gilbert found himself on the streets of london finally gravitating towards Soho square living there for many years, while the urban streets around him slowly drained him of what humanity he had left. Until completely by chance he came upon a nymph. Now nymphs are cruel and cold, warping the world around them until time ceases and the world reverts to the way it once was. But when gilbert layed eyes upon the nymph the last vestiges of his humanity rushed up in a fit of passion. Grabbing the nymph and announcing his undying love to her. Now as I've said Nymphs are cruel and this one in particular, for instead of just ignoring him she toyed with his emotions giving him the first caring touch he'd ever had, then with the coldness of the sea threw poor Gilbert assunder with a cold dark laugh before departing. Now what happened to poor dear Gilbert I hear you ask? Well after the cruel act of the nymph all of Gilberts humanity was gone, leaving it to the urban streets of grafitti and trash to claim his body until there was nothing left but a statue of stone.
Beware of Cruelty to others and of the Bohemian Nymph of Soho!!!!

British Museum 'to appoint German Hartwig Fischer as director'
The British Museum is to get its first foreign director in almost 200 years with the appointment of a German art historian, according to reports.
Hartwig Fischer, 53, the current director general of Dresden State Art Collections, is set to replace the outgoing Neil MacGregor, The Times said.
The paper cited Downing Street sources as having confirmed the appointment as well as an official at the collection in Germany.
The British Museum topped the list of the UK's most popular visitor attractions for seven years in a row
Mr Fischer, the paper said, has never worked in Britain, studied art history for eight years in his twenties and likes to maintain a low profile.
It ends a five-month search after Mr MacGregor, 68, who has been at the helm of the museum since 2002, announced he was stepping down in April.
Speaking at the time, he said it was "a difficult thing" to decide to leave.
In his time in charge, Mr MacGregor led the British Museum to the top of the list of the UK's most popular visitor attractions for seven years in a row.
Data from VisitEngland showed nearly 6.7 million people walked through the doors of the museum in London last year, down 0.1% on 2013.
Mr MacGregor also had to grapple with the continuing controversy of the Elgin Marbles and caused a stir last year when he backed a move to loan a section of the display to Russia.
The 2,500-year-old marbles have been in the museum since 1816 and, apart from spending the war years safely hidden in a Tube station, none had ever left until the sculpture was sent to St Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum.
The last foreign head of the museum was Italian Sir Anthony Panizzi, who is listed on the institution's website as having been principal librarian between 1956 and 1966.

A new compound that boosts muscle growth by 700% is out, and it is all natural. It's a plant that was discovered in Africa. It's the #1 muscle builder of 2012 and is clinically proven, 100% natural, builds testosterone and reduces abdominal fat.
Most protein wheys or steroids are made up of chemicals and artificial ingredients that can damage your liver and heart and make you grow stronger in quick but very unnatural ways.
Unlike the typical protein wheys, C-9 T11 has lots of clinical research to prove that this is all-natural, legal and safe to use. One study published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise shows an average 202% increase in muscle strength in 6 weeks. A study published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise shows an average 700% increase in muscle growth in 7 weeks. There was also research done by Kent University to show a 9-fold increase in biceps. The compound lowers cholesterol, blood sugar and fat.
If this is truly a natural plant, it may be very helpful for athletes since the amount of protein can help with injury prevention (wear and tear) and with recovery after your workout. It also could boost the competitive level in future athletic sports.
However, this performance-enhancing drug is in question whether it should be banned for sports since it is giving athletes an unfair advantage.
Should C-9 T11 be permitted for sporting events and competitions? Is this supplement as natural as they say it is? You be the judge.
What do you think of this new compound? Do you think C-9 T11 should be illegal for athletes and considered like a steroid since it dramatically improves your strength? Can you trust these articles and research statements even if it is from an accredited source? If this is truly natural, how could this change our future with athletes and pro sports?
Please read more information from the articles below and then do your own research. Share your thoughts about this new natural supplement. Also, feel free to post other related links that you come across that relate and might be interesting for us to read.

For 37 years, the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame was no more than a board of directors operating out of the Denver Chamber of Commerce. Banquet and Selection Committees focused solely on honoring inductees each year at an annual awards dinner.
A dream was realized in 2001 when the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame Museum was born at INVESCO Field at Mile High, now Sports Authority Field at Mile High, with the help of the Metropolitan Football Stadium District. In addition, the Sports Legends Mall and Legacy Pillars were built at the same site to honor each Hall of Fame induction class.
Since then, there has been the addition of a permanent museum, a website, and the ability to raise funds through the Induction Banquet, the Golf Classic, and the Championship Saturday - 4A and 5A High School Football Championships at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Through these avenues, the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame can give back to the community through programs and support for youth sports.

The Power of the Latino Professional Network
Aiming to do more networking in 2012? First, you should know the groups that have already done the work.
Aiming to do more networking in 2012? First, you should know the groups that have already done the work.
White House Hispanic Action Summit, Denver, Colorado, October 29, 2011
Not too long ago, I was reminded of a truism in the marketing world that too often digital/social professionals forget: if you're trying to reach people socially, it helps to know the groups who are already organized.
The learning opportunity came at an event I produced in June for Latinos in Social Media (LATISM). It was our second event in California, but our first venture in Silicon Valley. As was typical of these regional events, we focused on recruiting local leaders to help us with registrations, and we learned along the way about the organizations that already had a huge presence in the region. At the close of the event, I tallied the numbers and was surprised: close to two-thirds of all attendees were referred by two national organizations with local chapters: the National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE). Going in, we knew that groups like these could be helpful, but we had no idea just how much.
If you're a marketer with a product or service that truly serves the professional or pre-professional Latino population, it pays to look at groups that have already done the work of organizing. There are several reasons why.
First, as many digital marketers have learned, when social works it's because a large part of the communications effort happens among peers. If you're new to a market or a territory (like we were in Silicon Valley), it's a lot easier to connect with people through their peers. This is a simple principle that's been practiced since well before the social media era, but today it's seen as a must-do. Of course, this puts pressure on the marketer to understand (a) which groups have organized peers most effectively, and (b) which points of contact make sense to work with at the beginning stages before the marketers themselves have been acculturated into the group. Having a good sense of what values and goals bind you and will grant you permission to mix with the group is paramount. Gaining admission to a well-networked group is a privilege, and you'll need to earn it.
An equally important principle in social media marketing – but perhaps less known, and certainly less practiced – is that it's sometimes better to be a platform than it is to be an "app." The metaphor, of course, comes from the world of technology, where the trend over the last 10 years has been for tech companies to look for ways to make something upon which others can build. You don't have to be a tech company to think this way (for an example of this principle at work in the political world, take a look at this). In the Latinosphere, no one has yet attempted to build a sustainable platform that brings together all the different groups that represent Latino professionals. In addition to NSHMBA and SHPE, there's ALPFA, a national association of Latino business professionals and students (I spoke recently at one of its events), and the National Hispanic Corporate Council (NHCC). And also for students, there's the Latino Business Student Association (LBSA). In human rights, there's the National Council of La Raza, and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). There are also many others. While each of these groups serves a distinct community, their agendas overlap in a number of areas and there's an opportunity to make each stronger yet still autonomous by providing a common platform on which they can stand.
And that's where it gets really interesting. For leaders in the education and jobs markets, a common platform for professionals is a tremendous opportunity. Latino professionals are a meta-constituency for meaningful work in these areas. For government at the national, regional, and local levels, job creation has been identified as the number-one priority for the foreseeable future. The ability of Latino professionals to come together – nationally, regionally, and locally – is an extraordinary untapped asset. We're beginning to see leaders in government avail themselves to this opportunity (see, for example, the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics, a project that I informally advise on behalf of LATISM). But as the power of Latino professional networks continues to assert itself – both in their individual missions and in the aggregate – expect leaders in business to show up to the party.

On Friday, June 2, flag football history was made on the Plateau, when the RC Bobcats played the first ever all-girls high school flag football match in Turkey against the St. Benoit Seagulls, with RC winning 31-6. The RC team had spent the previous three years playing against university teams with girls who were taller, faster and stronger. They were thrilled to finally able to compete with another high school team.
The team started quickly with a long run by Işıl Ercan and follow-up touchdown catch by Eylül Horozoğlu from quarterback İrem Kuruner, all Lise 10 students. The Bobcats followed it up with a nifty touchdown by Zeynep Soydan L9 on a pass from Kuruner. Ece Pınar Özer L10 kept the defense strong in the second half with a huge tackle and interception.
The event was enhanced with classic marching band music and a half-time football passing contest. The positive attitude of both teams was a good start to what should be a long rivalry.

The idea of the e-reader came to Bob Brown after watching his first "talkie" (movie with sound). In 1930, he wrote a book on this idea and titled it The Readies, playing off the idea of the "talkie". In his book, Brown says movies have outmaneuvered the book by creating the "talkies" and, as a result, reading should find a new medium: "A machine that will allow us to keep up with the vast volume of print available today and be optically pleasing".

One of the results of the recent recession has been a renewed interest in frugality. We all seem to want to know how to save money. However, sometimes being frugal can be costly in the long run. As you make an effort to be frugal, it's important not to let the desire to save money in the short run cost you bigger in the long run. Here are some ways that you can be frugal to a fault:
Sacrificing Quality
For some things, it really doesn't matter if you get a low-quality product. However, in some cases, saving a few bucks and sacrificing quality can add up to big losses. My husband's shoes are a good example. We spend about $100 on his casual, everyday shoes. In an effort to save money once, we bought some lower-quality shoes for $45. In six months, those $45 shoes were worn out from all the walking he does. His $100 shoes last at least 18 months (and sometimes two years). If we spent $45 for cheaper shoes every six months, in 18 months we would have spent $135 — instead of $100 for better shoes.
Consider whether or not your penchant for cheap goods is actually costing you. If you find you are buying the same things over and over again, it might be time to spend a little more up front to save money down the road.
DIY Nightmare
You can save a great deal of money doing some things on your own. However, some projects ought not be attempted by the budding DIY-er. If you are trying to save money by working on something major, you could actually end up costing yourself a great deal. What if you mess it up? In some cases, you could mess up something serious, and then have to pay for it to be fixed. Fixing a botched project can be way more expensive than paying a professional in the first place. Know your limitations, and understand when a project is simply beyond you.
Skimping on Maintenance
There are some basic maintenance items that need to be taken care of if you want your home, car and body to last a little bit longer. Take care of home maintenance issues sooner in order to avoid paying more later when minor problems become big messes. The same is true of taking care of your car. Following regular maintenance schedules, such as changing fluids regularly, can help ensure that your car runs better. You will spend less in the long run as major systems break down less frequently.
Finally, don't forget regular maintenance on your body. A yearly physical is one way to catch health problems early — before they balloon into disasters. Take care of your teeth, and make regular visits to the dentist. My husband ended up with more than $1,500 worth of work on his teeth after avoiding the dentist for seven years. He could have had problems caught sooner, and the fixes would have been less expensive, if he had gone in for regular maintenance on his teeth.
Using Coupons as an Excuse to Buy Something
While coupons can be great money savers, sometimes they are just an excuse to buy something. Sure, I can save $1.50 on a $4.50 tube of new, expensive toothpaste. But if I stick with my regular brand, I'm only paying $2.50 a tube. If I use that coupon to get the more expensive toothpaste, I'm actually spending $3.00 — that's $0.50 more! Instead of using coupons just to use coupons, have a plan. Make your shopping list, and then find coupons that match what you would buy anyway.
What other ways can frugality cost you in the long run?

Third Cantar, Sections 133-144 Summary
In section 133 the Cid sends Muño Gustioz to King Alfonso with a message. In this message the Cid tells the King how badly he was hurt by the actions of the King's sons. The Cid blames the King for these actions because the King, and not the Cid, agreed to the marriages. The Cid asks that the sons be called to a judicial meeting. The king agrees to this meeting and declares that he will see that the Cid and his daughters get justice for the harm done to them. In section 134 King Alfonso sets up the court hearing in Toledo. He also states that anyone who is invited to the hearing and does not attend will no longer be considered his vassal.
In section 135 the King's sons asks to be exempt from the court hearing...

Park Hall Nature Reserve. Photo credit: Neil Wyatt
HS2, the high speed rail project linking Birmingham and London, have taken possession of this site as per powers granted by the HS2 Bill.
Whilst The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country are no longer responsible for the reserve we intend to keep this page here to hold HS2 to account on the assurances we received in 2014. These include preserving areas of ancient woodland within the reserve, a guarantee for improved public access (currently it is by prior arrangement only) in the future and a mandate for The Trust to be involved in forming the restoration plan for the site. We are also working with HS2 to secure the provision of off-site ecological compensation and Birmingham wide mitigation so that there is a net gain to the natural environment.
Park Hall Reserve - As of March 2017
Park Hall is a large area of remnant farmland and estate grounds on the eastern edge of Birmingham, lying in the valley of the River Tame between Castle Vale and Castle Bromwich. The scarp slope along the south of the reserve has three ancient woodlands, while the grassland below contains various wetland habitats which follow the old line of the River Tame. The reserve also includes about a mile of the River Tame itself.
During spring the woodlands boast impressive displays of bluebell, ramsons, wood anemone, yellow archangel and numerous other woodland flowers, including the scarce broad-leaved helleborine. In the pools and former farm ponds many amphibians including great crested-newt, common toad and common frog breed. As the seasons move along the grasslands and wetlands come into their own, with colourful floral displays of stitchworts, buttercups and meadowsweet, while the air is filled with butterflies and dragonflies.
Summer breeding birds include reed bunting, kingfisher, teal, mute swan and buzzard, while in the evenings bats forage on moths and other insects. Increasingly the wetlands are being visited by wading birds such as lapwing and snipe, and herons regularly fish in the pools. The woodlands take on a different character in autumn, with many colourful fungi taking the place of the flowers.
Conservation Work
Here's an interesting link to a contractor's case study of some wetland habitat improvement work they carried out on our behalf at Park Hall.
The proposed route of HS2 goes through the reserve – cutting the site in two. You can find out more about the impact of HS2 in Birmingham here.
Visiting the Reserve
Due to HS2 taking legal possession of the site (above) there is currently no public access.

Aramis Ramirez is Out of the WBC

The stated reason? Not wanting to risk injury? Respect for his employer?
No, no. He doesn't want to be a back-up. Alex Rodriguez is expected to be the starter for the Dominican Republic team, after switching from the U.S. team.

And later she attended for her University in, University of Nottingham., where she selected for the Nottinghamshire Country Elite Squad.

In an interview, she always said that she was talented students but she had had not enough time for college.
Rebecca is the England's most successful Olympic Swimmer since the last century of the year, because, she won four medals at two Olympic Games in 2008 and 2012. People called her female Michael Phelps (The Fish Man).
On Rebecca's debut in 2008 at Beijing Olympic, and, where she won gold Medal in 400m Freestyle. A few weeks later, she set a world record in 800m freestyle under 8: 14.10 seconds.

These words are her professional life but now move on her personal life. Ready?

I was landlocked all day and hearing about the different orca sightings in the area. When I heard that the J16s had started to come down San Juan Channel I had to take that opportunity to get out on the boat and have a look. Halfway up the channel, I had realized they were not where they should have been if they had kept coming. Turns out they had done a 180 and were out of the channel to the north. I figured I had come this far and it was so beautiful out, I kept going. We only got a couple surface intervals before having to leave. Beautiful night to be on the water for sure. Everything had this beautiful blue tint and the water was glass like. These animals are a matriline from Jpod, the J16s. Last year they had spent a fair amount of time wandering around the area by themselves without the rest of Jpod.
(I recently purchased the Fuji X30 to be more of a walk around camera that would allow me to still have complete manual control. So far I really like it, it's exactly what I was looking for, but still adjusting to how different the color casting is. I bet you can tell which were taken with the Fuji and which were with my Nikon)

15 Years of Lies?

This past month marked the 15th year anniversary of Oprah and Stedman's engagement. Can you blame Oprah for keeping him as a fiance? She has too much dough to settle down, even if she's been with him forever. We wonder if that is the only reason.

Comments to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Rate Increase Disclosure and Review
HHS_Comment_Rate_review_Feb_22_2011.pdf | 106.1 KB
February 22, 2011
The rules would establish an important new tool for reining in rising health insurance premiums. We believe that many consumers will benefit from the increased transparency and oversight of rate increases envisioned in this rule. We recognize that the proposed rule is designed to maintain the traditional role of the states in overseeing health insurance rates. Consumers Union has spent substantial time studying state rate review standards and rate increases, particularly in the individual market. We believe that many aspects of the proposed rule will result in enhanced (and much-needed) scrutiny of certain rate increases. However, we also believe that the rule should provide greater incentives and a pathway for states to improve their rate review processes and for carriers to strive to curb underlying costs and make rates more affordable.

Developers Diversified Realty Corp. in late June announced the sale of 63 properties to Phillips Edison & Co. in a $603 million deal that was noteworthy for more than just its size.
In recent years, such a portfolio — with a total of 5.7 million square feet of properties — would have been gobbled up in a market with a seemingly insatiable demand for retail real estate. But Developers Diversified executives say they were surprised that only a handful of offers emerged for the portfolio. "I think the rate movement really woke people up and forced them to realize that there should be a spread between A-quality properties and those that are lower quality," says Joe Padanilam, senior vice president of acquisitions with the company. The portfolio traded at a cap rate of 7.25 percent, 50 basis points above the national average. A year ago, Padanilam believes the portfolio might have been below 7 percent.
Many brokers say that investors across the country are starting to back off class-B and class-C properties even while action on class-A properties is heating up. "On the institutional sales side, people are getting more discerning about what they want," says Philip D. Voorhees, senior vice president of retail investments with the international brokerage firm CB Richard Ellis, Inc.
The deal is the largest to date for Cincinnati, Ohio-based Phillips Edison, a company that has built a portfolio of 23.4 million square feet. Phillips Edison plans to apply its value-add redevelopment strategy to the centers, says Michael Phillips, the company's president. The portfolio fits within the firm's $275 million PECO Opportunity Fund III, which was created to target secondary markets in close proximity to primary metro markets.

|No motivation other than her surroundings are needed for this child to study at Automeca camp in Port-au-Prince. (Christian Fuchs - JRS/USA)
Thousands of other Jesuit friends, associates and institutions also instantly responded to this crisis. The outpouring of generosity from young schoolchildren, college students, parishioners, as well as Jesuit provinces and communities, was overwhelming.
To date we have received $1.6 million, which we are using to bring comfort to the suffering in seven camps, to provide education to children, and to assure that the rights and needs of the most vulnerable in Haiti are not forgotten. JRS has built strong partnerships to help address problems that surely will not be solved overnight. Though many aid agencies will move on when the current crisis abates, JRS and the Jesuit community will remain in Haiti for the long haul in a long term commitment to contribute to the reconstruction and rebirth of a new Haiti.
Thank you for your generosity to the struggling people of Haiti and for your letters and notes of prayerful support. Together, we have made, and will continue to make a real difference in the lives of our Haitian brothers and sisters.
~ Fr. Ken Gavin, S.J.
Jesuit Refugee Service and Haiti
Long before the crippling earthquake of January 12, 2010, Jesuit Refugee Service had a grassroots presence in Haiti, providing humanitarian assistance to displaced Haitians both in the town of Ouanaminthe on the northeastern border with the Dominican Republic, and in the Dominican Republic itself. JRS responded to the needs of Haitians during a decade of political upheaval, successive natural disasters, and a food crisis, which devastated the Haitian economy. We knew Haiti in both her pain and her laughter – as a country where many children under the age of twelve in the countryside have no clothes to wear; a country where people spontaneously gather in community during frequent black-outs to sing songs, play dominos, and keep the night at bay. Haiti is also a country with a rich artistic and political tradition, inhabited by a deeply faithful people who have continued to hope for a better life despite devastation and adversity.
JRS–Haiti has accompanied the people of Ouanaminthe, a town of 100,000 inhabitants, through a series of challenges by offering schooling for the children, helping to organize sustainable farming cooperatives, organizing well-digging projects and engaging in human rights monitoring. Through these efforts, JRS has strived to create an environment in Haiti that would offer impoverished Haitians an alternative to migration by enabling them to sustain a dignified and secure life within their country.
In addition to its work within Haiti, JRS has served the needs of Haitian refugees, forced migrants, and stateless people in the neighboring Dominican Republic for more than 15 years, expanding upon the migration and refugee work carried out by the Jesuits of the Dominican Republic and Haiti for the last 70 years.
Now, the earthquake has brought a drastic change in the focus of JRS's work. While continuing its existing programs, JRS–Haiti is focusing on new relief efforts in Port-au-Prince, working in seven camps that serve the needs of more than 23,000 displaced persons.
JRS and the Jesuits of Haiti
"Supermarkets, banks, trade houses, radio and television stations, hospitals ... all have collapsed. General Hospital, the largest health institution in the capital, collapsed with many patients already inside and while many wounded were being brought in." ~ Fr. Perard Monestime, S.J., director of the JRS-Ouanaminthe. January 13, 2010.
"Our national symbols are all gone, destroyed by the earthquake. We have lost a piece of our history and are at risk of losing our sense of nationhood." ~ Fr. Wismith Lazard, S.J. – Director of JRS–Haiti
All three million inhabitants of Port-au-Prince were directly affected by the magnitude 7.2 earthquake. With 25% of government officials dead within minutes, public services and communications disrupted, and soon inundated by the exodus of some 600,000 stunned survivors from the capital into the countryside, the rest of the country suffered as well. Even four months after the disaster a staggering 1.3 million survivors remain displaced, most still without adequate shelter, employment, or the other necessities of life.
Donations for Haiti have been used both to meet immediate emergency needs in the camps and to begin to meet longer-term needs as well, for example by starting schools in displaced persons camps and in planning for the construction of 17 new schools in the countryside.
Altogether JRS and its Jesuit partners offered a wide range of emergency assistance to the people of Haiti in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake, including emergency food relief to more than 50,000 people throughout Port-au-Prince; medical treatment to more than 4,500 people injured by the earthquake; and camp management services and psychosocial support to more than 23,000 people living in seven camps throughout Port-au-Prince.
In partnership with the Jesuit Fe y Alegria school system and volunteer engineers from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Architecture in the U.S. JRS also evaluated the structural integrity of 400 schools throughout the stricken area in the month after the earthquake.
"Only through providing universal education to all children in Haiti, and through a massive literacy campaign for adults, can we ensure that Haiti will have the tools it needs to build back stronger," Fr. Wismith Lazard, S.J.
The scale of the disaster is such that despite efforts by a plethora of organizations, many vital needs still go unmet. JRS is urgently advocating to bring these needs to the attention of the Haitian government and other institutions with the power to address them. Meanwhile, JRS is working with the people of the camps to do all we can to mitigate human suffering through accompaniment, psychosocial intervention and linking camp leadership committees with UN and U.S. organized aid delivery bodies to address the rising needs.
JRS is the official camp manager in three camps: Henfrasa, Palais de l'art, and Parc Colofer. In these camps we employ a participative management approach to ensure that all voices are heard and that the most vulnerable camp residents receive the care they require. As in other camps where JRS works, JRS insists that women be included on the committee of residents who represent the camp's inhabitants.
"Is this any place for human beings to live? … often we have little or nothing to eat during the day." Haitian mother living with her young daughter in Automeca camp
In camps that JRS does not manage, such as Automeca – a camp of 11,000 residents living in tents only inches apart from one another – JRS provides vital services such as psychosocial support and assistance to the composed of camp residents. JRS offers management training sessions and regular meetings aimed at building the capacity for the displaced Haitians to develop their own emergency assistance, recovery and reconstruction initiatives. On a visit to our staff in Automeca in May, Fr. Ken noted that the camp is in a crisis situation."I have visited camps of refugees and IDPs throughout the world in my role as JRS/USA's national director. I was shocked at the conditions in which people are being forced to live in Automeca camp. The camp is a national and international disgrace. Of the many people we spoke to, nearly all complained of lack of food." ~ Fr. Kenneth Gavin, S.J.
The president of the Automeca camp, elected by the IDP community to represent their interests, reports that only three food distributions had been made by the World Food Program in the past three months and none since February. JRS continues to advocate for increased food delivery throughout Automeca and other camps with World Food Progamme leaders in both Washington, D.C. and Rome.
Automeca camp residents live in shacks made of tarps and rags so close to one another that you can almost mistake the multiple dwellings as one tent held aloft by acres of tent poles; there is little or no privacy. There are no schools or electricity, sanitation is poor; the water is barely potable and often brings on diarrhea in children and adults. Drainage at Automeca consists of shallow ditches running between rows of tents, a hazard even when dry; when it rains they flood and a cascade of garbage and muck rushes through the camp toward the lower sections.
The atmosphere in Automeca ripens throughout the day as the heat rises, and the dank humidity embeds itself onto clothing and tarps, adding an unhealthy sheen to everything it touches, collecting dust and attracting insects. The few trees are preferred as meeting areas to tents, as the shade of a mango tree offers the promise of a cooling breeze that the tents shut out.
It should be noted that 80% of all officially sanctioned camps, which amount to a little under 600 camps in all, have no camp managers. While some in the international community have claimed that 99.6% of all earthquake victims have been reached, we have noted that many have only received one, two, or three aid deliveries. The international coordination seems to have failed many of the residents in the camps until now, and we fear that with malaria, typhoid, and tetanus on the rise, the death toll in the coming months will climb precipitously.
"We are afraid of the rains. We have so many problems here. We need different tents, more solid tents to withstand the rain. These tents get wet inside during the rains." ~ displaced man living at Parc Colofer, a soccer field turned into a camp for 1,200 displaced people.
The other three camps where JRS labors are the "unofficial" camps of the Manresa district of Port-au-Prince (Bas Georges, Au Georges, and La Grotte). Because the Haitian government and the international coordinating bodies do not sanction these camps, JRS is the only NGO present in the camps. The Haitian government has asked the camp residents in these "unofficial" camps to leave these areas because the space is unsustainable, however no alternative has been offered for camp residents, and the population has protested that they have nowhere else to go. JRS has elected to continue to accompany these vulnerable IDPs and to serve their needs as much as possible until such time as camp residents are given another place where they can live.
The people in all "unofficial camps" throughout the city receive little to no care from large aid organizations and the international coordinating bodies. JRS calls on the Haitian Government and the International community to address the needs of those in official and "unofficial" camps alike, and to continue to distribute aid to those in unofficial camps until such time as these camp residents are offered a safe and tenable place where they might settle during the emergency phase.
JRS notes that all camps where we work continue to suffer from the same overarching basic needs, infrastructure and security concerns. The lack of electricity and lighting at night has meant women and children are vulnerable to sexual assault and abuse. Other concerns range from lack of access to potable water, to the spreading of infections such as typhoid, tetanus, and malaria, to poor drainage in many camps, to too little food and water distribution and assaults on women, the elderly, children and the disabled during aid delivery. Helping the people in the camps survive the rainy season has become an additional challenge for our humanitarian team.
"Haitian civil society is still weak. But we have a lot to offer, we understand our country and the situation on the ground. We can be a support to strengthened Haitian government, and help to hold our leaders accountable to the people of Haiti. The Haitian people must be tapped as the real resource for reforming our nation." Fr. Kawas Francois, S.J., president of the Jesuit Interprovincial Committee for the Reconstruction of Haiti

London: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will rotate his squad as the Gunners open up a fourth front in their quest for a first trophy since 2005 with an FA Cup third round tie against Leeds on Saturday.
Arsenal have the first leg of a League Cup semi-final with another Championship side, Ipswich Town, to look forward to next week and Wenger is convinced his side is also in the running for the Premier League title, with Champions League action scheduled to resume next month.
As a result, the Frenchman has decided to make the FA Cup his lowest priority, even though the famous trophy was the last to be placed in the club's trophy cabinet, and will therefore rest a number of first-choice picks, including forwards Robin van Persie and Samir Nasri.
That means Kieran Gibbs, the England international left-back who suffered an ankle injury, is likely to play for the first time since December 8, with Emmanuel Eboue also coming in for the suspended Bacary Sagna at right-back.
"We will rotate," said Wenger. "There are going to be changes, many changes. It will be good to have Kieran back and Eboue will play as Sagna is suspended.
"I cannot give you the team yet. I have somewhere in my mind that I will make changes but I don't know who will play. But I will certainly rest van Persie and maybe Nasri."
France international Sagna begins a three-match ban after being sent off in the 0-0 draw with Manchester City on Wednesday for violent conduct, a decision Wenger was prepared to accept.
"I have seen it again and there is no way we can appeal," he said. "For me it is a red card and we have to accept it. Bacary lost his temper and had too strong a reaction. He acknowledges that he should have kept control. We will not appeal."
Leeds, who won 1-0 at Manchester United at the same stage of last season's competition when they were in the third tier League One, are waiting on the fitness of forward Sanchez Watt, who suffered a head wound against Cardiff.
The teenager is on loan from Arsenal but has been given permission to play against his employers, for whom he has played only three times, in the League Cup last season.
As Leeds are involved in the race for promotion to the Premier League their manager, Simon Grayson, could be forgiven for fielding fringe men but that is unlikely to be the case.
"All the players in my dressing room will want to play in this game," Grayson said. "Credit to them because they haven't taken their eye off the ball and they can think about Arsenal now.
"It's a great game against one of the best teams in the world and we'll enjoy it. Then we'll get back to the hard work of our league campaign."
The two sides met in the 1972 final, with a goal from Allan Clarke sealing a 1-0 victory for Leeds.

Whose Choice Is It Really?: The Impact of Property Profitability, Owner Strategies, & Perceived Majority Tenant Prejudices on Housing Choice Voucher Acceptance
Mitchell, Kimberly J
MetadataShow full item record
This dissertation addresses the critical role of landlords in implementing the Housing Choice Voucher program. Housing choice vouchers provide tenant-based rental assistance to low-income families so that they can have greater opportunities to select apartments and locations than under other rental housing assistance programs. Vouchers provide a renter with more location, quality and housing type options than project-based subsidized housing. The programâ s ability to increase choice depends heavily on the decisions of private landlords to accept voucher tenants. This research examines the factors influencing housing choice voucher acceptance by owners, or their agents, specifically property profitability, owner strategies, and perceived majority tenant prejudices. One previous study attempted to identify the factors that affect landlordsâ acceptance of vouchers, and was restricted to landlords participating in the voucher program. This dissertation expands our understanding of landlordsâ decisions to accept voucher tenants in two key ways: empirical modeling of voucher acceptance using a national sample of rental properties; and qualitative studies of landlords within a single market area. This research has implications for improving the future performance of the voucher program and the housing quality of low-income renters. By understanding the factors influencing voucher acceptance, public policy makers can utilize this information and direct their efforts to successfully market the program, expand voucher knowledge, and increase non-participating ownersâ acceptance of vouchers. Furthermore, policy makers can determine if additional legislation is needed to enhance the protection of voucher holderâ s rights and maintain the supply of eligible units. Such efforts will enhance the effectiveness of housing agencies and thus, help achieve the goal of providing low-income renters with better housing options.

I Miss Blogging!
Being a working girl really makes it hard for me to find the time to do things I enjoy, like blogging. I am out of the practice of writing as well, which is something I would like to change.
I have to laugh. This is my post. A couple sentences. Sort of like starting an exercise program and just walking to the mailbox that first day. It's a start.

Imperfect mirror
By Phil Lawler (bio - articles ) | Sep 02, 2003
A Washington Times story tells us that in Iraq: "The new Cabinet exactly mirrors the Governing Council's ethnic and religious breakdown with 13 Shi'ites, five Sunni Arabs, five Kurds (also Sunnis), one ethnic Turk and an Assyrian Christian."
That doesn't quite mirror the ethnic and religious breakdown. It's about right to have one Christian member, since Christians represent about 4-5% of the population. But most Iraqi Christians are Chaldean Catholics, not Assyrian Orthodox.
We won't start lobbying yet for inclusion of a Catholic. It's tough to perceive any "trend" when there's only one person in the sample. But it's interesting that the other Iraqi body, the Governing Council, also has one Christian-- again, an Assyrian. Hmmm.

With the one hundred and some thousand soldiers we have there, perhaps the cabinet should include a GI, since he would represent a sizable minority.
