JRS Europe Becoming Vulnerable In Detention June 2010
The Jesuit Refugee Service and its partners have observed that detention is being utilised ever more frequently for
asylum seekers and irregular migrants arriving to the European Union. Despite the efforts made by EU policymakers
to harmonise the manner in which Member States manage asylum and migration flows, the reality we observe is that
these migrants are subject to conditions that are different from one Member State to the next.

1. Case Study
1.1. A Typical Case
– Jeff, male asylum seeker in appeal at the Council of State, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, 42 years old –
Jeff left the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1992, at the age of 28, with the aim of studying abroad. As the Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire) and Belgium have a common colonial history, he had the idea to study management in Belgium. Additionally, his family had personal contacts within Belgium. He migrated legally to Belgium with a student visa.

Protection Interrupted_JRS Europe_June 2013
Ever since it was adopted into EU law, Council Regulation (EC) No 343/2003 – better known as the 'Dublin Regulation' –
has never been short of controversy.5
One of the original intentions of the regulation and the system it has since established was and remains to ensure that an
EU government would be responsible for an asylum seeker's application. One application, one EU member state; this is
the principle underlying the architecture of the Dublin system.
Raport anual de activitate 2011 JRS Romania
Acest raport reprezinta rezultatul unui efort comun al echipei JRS si doreste sa sintetizeze principalele activitati si proiecte derulate pe parcursul anului 2011. Astfel, raportul nu poate fi privit ca acoperind in mod exhaustiv toata aria de activitati si preocupari ale organizatiei.
The main activities of JRS Romania are to provide services in immigrant detention centres (public custody centres)
covering legal counselling, social assistance and emergency aid, and in open reception centres by offering integration
assistance to persons with a form of protection. Close cooperation is maintained with UNHCR, the Romanian Immigration
Office and national NGOs, while lawyers and judges are supported through the JRS Documentation Centre on country of
return information. JRS Romania also provides temporary shelter to rejected asylum seekers who receive a 'toleration
status' to stay in the country or ask for asylum anew; among these are Dublin returnees.
Together with Caritas Europa, the European Trade Union Confederation, UNHCR and
several other partners, Jesuit Refugee Service Europe organised a one-day European
Conference on Destitution of Migrants that was held on 29th March 2011 at the Ateliers
des Tanneurs in Brussels. About 100 persons attended this conference, coming not
only from the refugee and migrant organisations but representing other Civil Society
actors as well, such as Trade Unions, educational or medical professionals.
Asistenta persoanelor refugiate
MIGRANT – Persoana care se deplaseaza dintr-o arie teritoriala in alta, urmata de
schimbarea domiciliului si/sau de incadrarea intr-o forma de activitate in zona de sosire.
- in functie de sensul migrarii, fiecare persoana migranta este in acelasi timp,
pentru tara de origine emigrant - persoana care iese din tara, si imigrant -
persoana care intra in tara de destinatie.
- migrarea poate avea loc atat in interiorul granitelor tarii - migrarea interna
(numite si persoane deplasate intern) cat si in afara tarii - migratia
internationala (categorie din care fac parte si refugiatii).
Dublin Final Report
This report was written by Matiada Ngalikpima and Maria Hennessy. The coordinating partners of the
project were Forum Réfugiés – Cosi, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee and the European Council on
Refugees and Exiles (ECRE). ECRE coordinated the national research with project partners and took
the lead in drafting this comparative report. This synthesis report brings together the main findings of
national reports produced by:
Dublin II
This information sheet is meant to give information only about what an asylum seeker can expect if they will
be transferred to Romania under the Dublin Regulation.
Final report
As part of the project to build a common European asylum procedure, the
Member States wanted to put an end to the problems of asylum shopping and
asylum seekers in orbit. "Asylum shopping" is the process by which people
whose first request for protection in a European Member State has been denied,
file one or more other applications in another EU state.
Irregular Migrants
This compilation may serve for those who are searching for legal information related to certain aspects of detention of irregular migrants.1 However, it was drafted, in particular, as a supporting material with the goal of submitting an intervention before the Constitutional Court of Romania, highlighting a discrepancy in the Romanian Aliens Law,2 which, in Article 97, refers to "restriction on freedom of movement", whereas, in reality, irregular migrants in Romania are literally detained – "deprived of their liberty" – and, therefore, should be provided with basic procedural safeguards stipulated, inter alia, in Article 23 of the Romanian Constitution.3 It cannot be accepted that irregular migrants "restricted on their freedom of movement" do not enjoy even the minimum safeguards provided for convicted criminals. The paper is strictly based on international and European legal documents, including jurisprudence and soft law recommendations.
Protection Intrerupted
Ever since it was adopted into EU law, Council
Regulation (EC) No 343/2003 – better known as
the 'Dublin Regulation' – has never been short
of controversy.
DUBLIN II Regulation
The Dublin Regulation,1 as its predecessor the Dublin Convention,
was designed to ensure that one Member State is responsible for
examining the asylum application of an asylum seeker and to avoid
multiple asylum claims and secondary movement. It is confined
to fixing uniform grounds for the allocation of Member State
responsibility on the basis of a hierarchy of criteria binding on all
EU Member States as well as Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and
Specificul consilierii
Confundat adesea cu emigrantul din cauza multelor
asemănări existente între etapele procesului de
migrare, ceea ce îl diferenţiază de acesta şi de alte
categorii de imigranţi este caracterul forţat sau voluntar
al deciziei de emigrare. În timp ce refugiatul
îşi părăseşte căminul forţat de teama de a nu-şi pierde
libertatea sau chiar viaţa, emigrantul alege soluţia

Dublin II Regulation
The objective of the Dublin Transnational Network project is to enhance
knowledge of the implementation of the Dublin Regulation and investigate
and analyse Member State practice surrounding the technical application
of this Regulation.

Click here to follow the San Diego match.
Santa Clara's volleyball hits the road this weekend with a tough task. First the Broncos play at No. 18 San Diego on Thurs., Nov. 11 at 7 pm and then they will play at Saint Mary's on Sat., Nov. 13 at 7 pm. USD is in first place and Saint Mary's holds down second place in the WCC.
Santa Clara is 14-11 and 5-6 in the WCC entering the weekend. Santa Clara has won three of its last five matches, including a series sweep of Gonzaga and Portland last weekend.
San Diego, winners of its last 11 matches in a row, is 20-4 and 10-0 in the WCC. Saint Mary's, the 2009 WCC league champion, is 16-7 and 8-2 in the league. Its last five losses have been to top 25 teams. Santa Clara lost 3-1 to Saint Mary's at home on Oct. 14 and then 3-0 to then-No. 23 San Diego on Oct. 16.
Santa Clara is led by Tanya Schmidt, who is hitting .335 with 2.23 kpg and .75 bpg. Dana Knudsen is second in hitting percentage at .326 with 2.77 kpg and .92 bpg. Kaliegh Durket scores a team-leading 3.47 kpg and 1.79 dpg. Kayla Lommori has 3.16 kpg and 1.98 dpg. Setter Emily Burke collects 9.49 apg and 2.41 dpg. Libero Bridget O'Hara snares a team-leading 4.72 dpg.
Santa Clara is looking forward to the challenge of playing on the road this weekend. Bronco Associate Head Coach Dustin Moore pointed out both road matches will be very different from each other because of the two teams style of play and because both are very good at home. San Diego is 10-1 at home this year, with only a loss to then-No. 11 Cal early in the season. Cal has climbed as high as No. 2 this year and is 21-2. Saint Mary's is 6-3 at home with losses to then-No. 1 Stanford, then-No. 10 Cal and then-No. 23 San Diego.
Moore said San Diego is tough because the team hits a high ball to the pins. "They have great pin players. They have two of the best players in the league, actually the last two WCC Players of the Year, and one of them will win it again this year. They like their chances of going deep in the NCAA Tournament this year because they are senior-dominated."
Moore pointed out Saint Mary's is more system-based. "They like to run it fast to the pin and they are a difficult serving team so they are a different challenge."
The coaches like what they have seen in practice this week and Moore said the effort will be there for sure. "We are at a point where we are preparing to go out and play hard and play well. We are looking for good results because of that. We want to play a bit of a spoiler roll the next three matches."
With just three matches left on the schedule this year, Moore said the team is looking to finish the season with strong play and avenge its losses to both USD and SMC earlier in the season. "We want to compete the rest of the year in every set, every match," said Moore. "This weekend we are playing the top teams in our league and so that will get our attention. We close out the season at USF next Friday and both teams will be fighting to finish their season on a high note with a win."

FEMA denies homeowners' plea for post-flood aid
Federal agency says it won't aid individual claims; state to help out
There's been at least $37.2 million worth of damage in the recent upstate floods. And that meets the federal threshold for helping municipalities get back on track.
Homeowners, however, will have to get by with less federal help.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday said the Federal Emergency Management Agency won't be providing money from its Individual Assistance program to help homeowners rebuild after the flash floods of recent weeks.
That news comes barely three days after FEMA officials said they would offer assistance to municipalities that need to rebuild their infrastructure through their Public Assistance program.
Cuomo has previously said the state would step in to fill flood recovery gaps that are unfilled by FEMA, and he repeated that vow on Monday.
"The state will step up to the plate to ensure that those affected by these floods have the resources and assistance they need to get their lives back together," he said in a release.
More Information
News that FEMA wasn't providing individual help, however, drew sharp criticism from Congressman Chris Gibson, who said the decision was "unacceptable ... flat-out wrong." The Kinderhook Republican said he would appeal to the White House.
Gibson was in the flood-damaged Montgomery County village of Fort Plain during the weekend. On Friday, Cuomo's Economic Development Commissioner Ken Adams traveled to the village; Cuomo and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand have also visited since the storms.
Counties where municipalities are eligible for assistance include Allegany, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Franklin, Herkimer, Madison, Montgomery, Niagara, Oneida, Otsego and Warren.
Cuomo has said he would bring lawmakers back to the Capitol if need be to approve aid to flood victims. On Monday, the administration was going over its options for getting assistance to flood victims.
Also Monday, the governor announced a Thursday conference in Albany with HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan focusing on how communities can rebuild in a way that enhances their ability to withstand future storms.

Sound Devices Have Disappeared
Have a Gateway M-Series laptop that came with 32 bit Vista Home Premium installed. We upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium (also 32 bit) several years ago and have had no problems until recently.
We have no sound. The speaker icon in the system tray has a red X to the right of it. Clicking on it opens a diagnostic page, that within 20 seconds says it couldn't identify the problem. When I go to Control Panel - Sound the Playback tab only displays an AMD High Definition Audio Device which it says is not plugged in. We DID have 2 other devices listed there previously, one of then being the default device labeled Speakers and Headphones. Device manager currently displays only the AMD HDMI sound device.
When I start the laptop I always get a msg that Catalyst Control Center host application has stopped working and that Windows is searching for a solution. It doesn't find one.
Yesterday I was somehow able to get everything back into place (Tweaking All in one repair?), but although it showed the speaker icon without the X, and another device displayed under Sound in Device Mgr, and the Speakers and Headphones was back under the Playback tab, and Windows Audio was enabled and started.... I still had no sound. A subsequent reboot brought back the red X in the system tray.
I have a W7 32 bit disk and when I attempt an in place upgrade it wants me to first deauthorize iTunes on the computer and remove ATI Catalyst Control Center and ATI Catalyst Install Manager. I have gone into Control Panel and (apparently) done a successful repair of AMD Catalyst Install Manager (I have no idea about the difference between ATI and AMD). After the 'repair' I rebooted and again got the msg that Catalyst Control Center host application has stopped working. I have no listing in the Programs and Features for anything referring to a Catalyst Control Center.
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2014
ATI/AMD. ATI is now AMD, as it was bought by AMD several years ago. Catalyst Control Center would be for an ATI/AMD Video card. As this is a laptop, does this have a separate Video Card and does it have an HDMI connection? The Catalyst Control Center is not a "must have", just the video drivers however Windows probably downloaded the combination Catalyst Control Center and Video drivers. If you can figure out what video card you have, you can go to AMD and download the latest version and that may take care of the AMD problem.
Now, back to the PC Audio, which is a separate issue. Go to the Device Manager and Display the Sound Devices listed under Sound, Video and Game Controllers. The AMD HD Audio should be listed (for the HDMI Audio) and there should be another listing of your sound device (such as RealTek, VIA, etc). If there is a sound listed, what is it and does it show an error code? If it shows the generic basic function Windows installed "HD Audio Codec" that indicates the correct sound driver is not installed.
Please fill in the "My System Specs" so we know what we are dealing with. Helps us to help you and not speak in generalities, as I've done.

We have a BUNCH of computers at our house, so I saved the Belarc info for this laptop a word document, which is an attachment. As I mentioned in my post I currently have nothing in Device Manager - Sound Video and Game Controllers other than the AMD HD Audio, which is also the only thing in the Control Panel/Sound/Playback tab. It is listed as Not Plugged In.
|My System Specs

The sound, according to what I find at Gateway is Sigmatel. HERE is the download.
It is not showing up in the Belarc advisor either. Check the BIOS as it may have been disabled in the BIOS. If its disabled in the BIOS, Windows will not detect it and you would not be able to install the drivers.

It still sounds like it was disabled in the BIOS. Some refer to the on board audio as "legacy audio". If you don't have any customization in the BIOS, try resetting the BIOS and see what happens. If you do have some customization, note what it is before resetting the BIOS, reset the BIOS and then do the custom configuring.

Here are a few more screen images - the first one is the Device Manager and Playback tab when I have a red X next to the speaker icon in the systray. The second is how it looks now. The third is how the mixer sound screen looks now when I'm playing something from iTunes. It looks like I should be hearing something, but I'm not. The 4th is a current Belarc reading, with the additional Playback devices.
I set the BIOS back to the default settings and saved it. After the reboot I was back to the red X in the volume taskbar icon, and back to the first attachment image of this post
|My System Specs
|04 Mar 2014
The BIOS reset apparently worked. The fact that it now states "High Definition Audio Device" suggests the default, basic function, Windows installed sound driver is now installed. Try installing the correct sound driver, now.
Digital (S/PDIF) set as default playback device will not get you speaker sound, that is only for the S/PDIF port to some external digital device.
|My System Specs
|04 Mar 2014
What I meant by that:
In order to reset the BIOS it's necessary to reboot and hit F2, then hit F9 to load the defaults. Once I save those BIOS changes, the laptop continues to reboot. Now I am back to the red X. In the thumbnail below I've included the speaker taskbar icon.

How can we help my mother who is struggling with loneliness in the assisted living facility?
My mother was recently moved from independent to assisted living in a well known facility. She really falls into the "in-between" stage because she can be ostracized by the independent residents, yet has little in common with the assisted living residents who are like zombies to her. She thrives on intimacy and personal conversation but no staff have time to engage with her other than to shuttle her to a room to play bingo or cards which she hates and never played during her younger years. I call her twice daily to insure she takes her meds and talk meaningfully as she is able, due to some dementia. Frankly, my twice daily calls and the less frequent visits of my local brother and sister are her main interactions. Staff seem untrained to have any meaningful conversations with residents but only brief superficial contact. My mother is literally dying of loneliness despite all her family can do, unless we engage with her several hours daily. What else can be done?
Expert Answers
You didn't say whether or not you've approached facility administrators to discuss your concerns about your mother, but if you haven't, I think you should do so immediately. They should be doing more to keep your mother engaged than simply shuttling her to the bingo hall -- particularly if she has no interest in bingo! I'm sure there must be a few peers for your mother at the facility, that is, seniors who are neither snobs nor zombies, and facility staff should be making more of an effort to help your mother find them. When you talk to facility administrators, make sure they understand how lonely and isolated your mother is, and how upset you and your siblings are about the situation.
If the facility administrators are unresponsive, I would consider finding another housing situation for your mother as soon as you can. Loneliness and depression can erode the physical and mental health of elderly people -- not to mention their quality of life. Your mother sounds like a warm, social person, and it's a shame for her to spend her last years in a state of tedious isolation.
Since it sounds like you live far away from your mother, you might want to hire a geriatric care manager to help you find a better housing situation for her. Check out our local eldercare directory to find names of geriatric care managers and other resources where your mother lives.

When you think about guinea pigs, you don't necessarily think of their therapeutic value. Yet within a safe school environment, these little critters go to the head of the class when it comes to helping students with autism improve their social skills.
Brittany Anne Garcia's comment, May 7, 2013 12:54 AM
this is a really handy article to have. It is able to give you the app names and what you able to do with them in the classroom. They are also able to give you the category of what kinds you might wanna use
Kari Rose's comment, May 9, 2013 2:36 PM
Great idea! This can be very benefical and can be very useful in the classroom.
Rachel Mantor's comment, May 11, 2013 8:09 PM
Autistic children can have a really difficult time communicating. MySocius, I'd guess refers to the term "social". It teaches autistic children to be social with their peers, teachers, parents, and other adults. It's great that the program uses topics of interest of the child to encourage communication.
Shelby Mota's comment, May 7, 2013 12:31 AM
Communication can be demonstrated in various ways, and this is a great way to incorporate technology as well as communicate different skills.
Andrea Coppinger's comment, May 7, 2013 7:14 PM
This is a really neat idea. It can be extremely frustrating when you know what you want to say, but are not sure how to communicate effectively. Also, sign language is very useful for infants so it can benefit the whole family@
Kari Rose's comment, May 9, 2013 2:36 PM
This is a great idea. I agree with Andrea. It can be pretty difficult when you know that what you want to say isnt coming out the way you had planned. I took a sign language class so i know how beneficial it is to know it in a time of need.
Sue Blough's comment, May 3, 2013 7:56 PM
What good news for caregivers - especially when the job is shared An app that keeps track of pills and dosages would be extremely helpful for any kind of illness.
Julia Bennett's comment, May 7, 2013 11:13 PM
Yes! Caregivers (including educators) do have to keep track of things like medications especially when working with special education, and an application for that would be awesome. There are so many great application ideas to help people, it is amazing.
Rubi Valencia's comment, May 9, 2013 3:18 PM
This is great! I like how it aims to help students make friends. As students develop academically friendship is a big key to their educational development and success.

A faction of legislators wants Louisiana voters to change the way state government decides how to spend money on hospitals, roads and other public expenses.
The so-called "fiscal hawks" released the broad outlines of a legislative package Tuesday, months after sparring with Gov. Bobby Jindal in last year's legislative session.
Included in the package are several constitutional amendments that would need the support of two-thirds of the Legislature as well as a vote of the people.
"We're going to get heard. The question is can we get passed," said state Rep. Brett Geymann, leader of the Budget Reform Campaign.
Dubbed the fiscal hawks after they stalled the budget process last year, the campaign aims to make it harder to stitch together the state budget with a patchwork approach that relies on state revenue, uncertainties such as land sales and money left over in accounts scattered across state government.
The campaign wants to put an emphasis on higher education, health care and critical services before funding miscellaneous expenses.
The campaign, composed of roughly 28, mostly Republican, Louisiana House members, said the need for change is evident given back-to-back years of mid-year budget cuts.
Their ideas include:
- Only allowing revenue recognized by the Revenue Estimating Conference to be included in the budget.
- Creating a five-day window between the end of session and the final passage of the budget.
- Building an extra hurdle in the budget process when funding for higher education and health care is proposed at a lower level than the previous year.
Jindal opposed the hawks last year when he claimed their objections over the budget's structure threatened to deprive developmentally challenged children of services. In the end, the governor won the battle, gaining passage of a cobbled-together budget. The hawks went home and regrouped. They set up a website, established a political action committee and toured the state.
Geymann, R-Lake Charles, said he recently sat down with Paul Rainwater, the governor's chief of staff, to explain the package.
The intent, Geymann said, is not to criticize the governor's handling of the state operating budget. The budget process needs to be changed after decades of building it on a foundation of sand, he said.
State Rep. Lance Harris, R-Alexandria, said core reforms are needed if the Legislature goes along with the governor's push to eliminate the state personal income and corporate taxes.
"It is critical that we fix the way we are putting together our budget before we make major changes in how we take in revenue. We keep pouring water into our bucket year after year, but it's clear now that there is a hole in our bucket," he said.
The governor said in a prepared statement that he will look at the bills.
"Our office has had good discussions with representatives Geymann and Harris concerning their ideas for the budget process. We will also continue to meet with every member of the Legislature regarding legislation for the upcoming session," Jindal said.
Last year, Geymann pushed to provide another layer of oversight in the budget process and to ensure money is not spent on nongovernmental organizations to the detriment of higher education and health care. He also sought to eliminate the practice of using nonrecurring money for recurring expenses.
His bills were not offered a Louisiana House Appropriations Committee hearing until the session was nearing its end. At that point, rules would need to have been suspended for the bills to make their way to the Senate and back to the House.
As week after week passed without a committee hearing on his bills, Geymann taped the committee agenda devoid of his legislation to his microphone on the House floor in a silent protest of being ignored.
He said he is more confident going into the session that starts April 8 after quietly meeting with stakeholders and gathering support.
"The outside pressure will help us some this year," Geymann predicted.

Owner - Most of the land bordering the Casselman River is privately owned farmland, with most landowners graciously allowing fisherman access. The Youghiogheny and Nemacolin Chapters of Trout Unlimited conduct annual stream clean-ups on the private property along the Casselman, helping to ensure continued public access. The Casselman River Bridge State Park is the only public land bordering the Delayed Harvest Area, and offers a picnic area with public rest rooms.
History - George Washington crossed the Casselman River (named after an early western Pennsylvania settler) in 1755 with General Braddock's British troops near present day Grantsville. The first Amish and Mennonite settlers in Garrett County established homesteads along the Casselman River, and horse-drawn buggies and wagons are still a common sight along the Casselman River today. Coal was discovered in the watershed during the 1800's, the subsequent acid mine drainage into the river eliminated most of it's aquatic life. Through the efforts of abandoned mine reclamation, the river has been reborn and now supports a diverse fish and macroinvertebrate community. Recreational trout management in the Casselman River was initiated in 1989 and has become one of Maryland's most popular trout fishing destinations.
Physical/ Habitat Description - The Casselman River is a fairly wide stream, and has quite a variety of habitat types. Anglers will find long productive riffle sections, deep runs, large deep holes, and even some pocket water. The streambed consists of mainly cobble-size stone, and wading is a bit easier than compared to other Western Maryland rivers. Natural flows can fluctuate especially during the spring, so please check for flow conditions. Flows less than 150 cubic foot per second (cfs) are considered good fishing flows.
Fish Species - The trout fishery in the Casselman River Delayed Harvest Trout Fishing Area is managed using adult hatchery brown and rainbow trout stocked each spring and fall. Many of these trout are truly trophy size, many of which are greater than 5 pounds! The Nemacolin Chapter of Trout Unlimited assists with float-stocking the stream, providing good fishing throughout the Delayed Harvest Trout Fishing Area.
Restrictions - The Delayed Harvest Trout Fishing Area management scheme includes a Catch and Release Season from October 1 through June 15 when anglers may use Artificial Lures or Flies Only. Anglers may harvest five trout per day from June 16 through September 30 and there are no bait or tackle restrictions. Please consult the Maryland Freshwater Sportfishing Guide for complete details.
Directions - From I-68 take Exit 19, Grantsville. Go into Grantsville and turn right on Route 40 E. Proceed about .5 mile to the Casselman River Bridge State Park on the left, or continue on Route 40 across a steel bridge and turn left onto River Road. River Road parallels the river to the PA State Line, about five miles. There are ample pull-offs along the road, and please be respectful of the private property owners that are allowing fisherman access.

Yea! First Pruden's Purple. They are pink, though. So pretty! I don't think I've ever actually seen a pink tomato before. These softened quite a bit over night, so I wouldn't let these sit around too long before using.
The Description from where I got my seed:
Large, 10 to 16 oz., dark pink fruits grow on potato-leaved vines and mature quite early for such large fruit. Delicious flavor and good production. Similar to Brandywine, but earlier. Heirloom variety. Indeterminate. 75 days
First Impressions:
Beautiful pink, with green shoulders. Nice size. The potato-leafed plants are more prone to spottiness than regular leafed ones.
My taste review:
Beautiful pink inside and out. Green shoulders common. Very meaty, a true beefsteak with few seeds. Excellent texture: very smooth and juicy. Flavor is nicely balanced with tart and sweet and an element of fruity. Thin skin. The best yet! On a BLT: has a bitter note, unfortunately.
Will I grow again?
Heck yeah. Except for the potato leaves, these are perfect. Great size, multiple use, exceptional taste quality and good yield too. Count me in.

Secret of the White RoseBook - 2011
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
The Secret of the White Rose has been a wonderful surprise! I enjoyed reading the book. Very satisfying.
I found the book after being turned off by the more ponderous reading of Caleb Carr's novels. This one moved along very well, yet still gave rich background of the early 1900's in New York. Pintoff was able to maintain an engrossing story while keeping alive the colorful milieu of an alien time and place (New York City during WWI.)
I've been on a kick of reading about the WWI time frame with novels by Charles Todd, Laurie King, Ken Follett and others. This one is a welcome addition to the genre of criminal investigation at the beginnings of modern world.
Pintoff's novels move at such a rattling pace that one does not always notice logical inconsistencies that are never addressed. Occasionally the need for a sterner editorial hand. An enjoyable but imperfect read. I appreciated the glimpse at New York's ethnic and class divides as they were in the early 1900s. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Avela Corporation was originally founded in Houston, Texas in 1984 as an advertising branding company. Gary Young, the founder, president and CEO of Avela Corporation, took the company in a completely different direction starting in 2002 after a trade mission trip to China. As Mr. Young likes to tell it, "When I landed in Shanghai I thought I had been transported to another planet… glistening buildings that went on for miles and an energy in the air that you could feel!"
On the flight back he had the powerful thought that he just wittiness something historic: the freshman class of entrepreneurs in China transforming forming a nation. All he could think about was, "How can I play a small part in this? How do I get back here?" —China was so exciting, and still is!
With this powerful thought Mr. Young proceeded to call on his advertising customer base asking them if they needed anything made in China. He got his first order for $280,000 and from that moment on, Avela was transformed from an advertising agency to a China Sourcing company. Mr. Young says that the only thing he regrets is that this transformation did not happen sooner.

In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.

Two Democratic members of Congress — one gay and one bisexual — are incurring the wrath of LGBT activists for voting with House Republicans to delay certain portions of Obamacare in exchange for keeping the government in operation.
Reps. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) were among nine Democrats on Monday who voted for a Republican-led resolution that provided funds for the government for fiscal year 2014, but included a provision delaying the individual mandate and requiring members of Congress and their staffs to pay the full cost of insurance without the government subsidy.
Additionally, Maloney voted for another measure that includes the above policy items in addition to calling for a conference committee with the Senate, which would likely mean some give on health care reform.
Both Maloney and Sinema also joined Republicans on Sunday to vote for repeal of the tax on medical devices as part of Obamacare.
Each House proposal was rejected by the Senate, which has insisted on a bill that only continues funding for the government, leading to the stalemate that caused the government shutdown on Tuesday.
Michael Rogers, a D.C.-based LGBT rights advocate, said the vote means Sinema and Maloney are Democrats in name only.
"I am a progressive so I wish Sinema and Maloney were more concerned about the American people than with their reelection," Rogers said. "When Democrats stand for Democratic principles we win. If these two people won as out LGBT people, surely they would not have been tossed out sticking with their caucus. It is sellouts like Sinema and Maloney who, as DINOs, are more than willing to cave in to the crazy demands of the right."
Michaelangelo Signorile, a gay New York activist and radio host on SiriusXM, took to Twitter to express his indignation.
John Aravosis, who's gay and editor of AMERICAblog, also had harsh words for the two lawmakers, who ran as openly gay/bi candidates and took donations from the LGBT community.
"I think it's abominable," Aravosis said. "No Democrat, let alone a gay or bisexual one, should be working to undercut health care protections for Americans, let alone helping John Boehner do anything."
The other openly gay lawmakers in the U.S. House — Reps. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), David Cicciline (D-R.I.), Mark Takano (D-Calif.) and Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) — didn't join Maloney or Sinema in these votes.
Maloney and Sinema voted against the most drastic proposal from House Republicans to attach a one-year delay of health care reform to the spending bill for fiscal year 2014.
In a statement, Maloney defended his vote for delaying the individual mandate by pointing to the administration.
"I strongly support the president's decision to give employers more time to comply with the law, and I believe that we should give families the same flexibility we're giving to our small businesses," Maloney said.
Maloney also explained his support for eliminating health care subsidies for government employees by saying the playing field for public and private workers should be equal.
"Families and businesses in the Hudson Valley are not getting special subsidies from Obamacare and neither should members of Congress or the White House," Maloney said.
In a separate statement, Sinema defended her votes by saying they ensure individuals can sign up for health care plans without "being punished" for failing to purchase adequate healthcare coverage.
"It's now been proven that too many states are not ready to implement the marketplaces," Sinema said. "It's not fair to punish people who don't have the information they need to make informed decisions. Arizona's hard-working families need transparency and certainty about this healthcare law and its implementation. A one-year delay of the individual mandate will ensure that Arizonans get that certainty."
Sinema also said health care subsidies for government employees shouldn't happen with a government shutdown in effect.
"Additionally, I supported tonight's amendment because members of Congress should not ask the government to pay for their healthcare while Americans at home suffer during government shutdown," Sinema said.
Neither the office of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) nor the Democratic National Committee responded to the Blade's request for comment on Sinema and Maloney joining House Republicans. Shin Inouye, a White House spokesperson, is on furlough and unable to respond to media requests.
The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, which endorsed the openly gay/bi candidates and called for donations from LGBT people for the candidates, didn't respond to a request for comment. The Human Rights Campaign also endorsed both candidates and didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Sinema and Maloney have been active on LGBT-specific issues since their election to Congress. They voted for an LGBT-inclusive version of the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization and signed a friend-of-the-court brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act.
Dana Beyer, a Chevy Chase, Md.,-based transgender activist, said the LGBT community shouldn't judge Sinema and Maloney too harshly for their votes because "these late night political machinations are generally theater" and don't say anything about the lawmakers' overall voting records.
"This issue isn't about the LGBT community; it's about America," Beyer said. "They should be judged on a much broader set of criteria and values than this one vote, and I hope people take the context into account."

who shoulders a burden
most parents won't touch,
|photo by Brian Sawyer
The Parent Coach
There goes a man
who loved a sport dearly
and tried to be great,
but others surpassed,
so he gave up the dream
and turned to his son.
"You will succeed,"
he said from on high.
"You will be great,
and all due to me."
So he took on a team
and made his son star,
and told all his players
"I want only first place!"
He yelled at them all,
especially his boy,
and the son struggled hard
but it wasn't his gift,
and in the end failed
and gave up the goal.
But the team knew the truth:
their feelings ignored,
their innocence crushed,
their innocence crushed,
sport was now war,
and the casualties great.
The coach blamed his son
for his failure in life,
and the boy took the blame
because he was shamed
and never looked back
or loved it again,
for the memory stuck
of the coach who had trained him,
a man that he loved
who had sadly betrayed him.There goes another
who shoulders a burden
most parents won't touch,
for he'll teach without pay
and care at great cost.
and care at great cost.
A fan himself,
he knows his game well
he knows his game well
and chooses some boys
to pass on his skill.
to pass on his skill.
Expecting so much
of the players he's chosen,
of the players he's chosen,
he drills them with skills,
cheers and corrects,
cheers and corrects,
and they give it their all
to learn and to win
to learn and to win
not only for self
or just for the team,
but they want to win
or just for the team,
but they want to win
especially for him.

You're going to want to put this garlicky creamy cashew salad dressing on everything. It stands up to massaged kale. It's great on romaine with croutons. Keep a batch in the refrigerator at all times, and watch as your salad intake increases.
Outside of work and travel emergencies where there are no other options, David and I rarely order salads in non-vegan restaurants.
It's not because we don't like fresh, delicious greens. At home, we have salads multiple times a week. However, the thing that's missing with most restaurant salads is a "main event."
I think the reason for this is that most non-vegan restaurants think of the animal products as the main event. Restaurant salads are often covered in fried meats, shreds of dairy-based cheese, and smothered in ranch dressing.
If you're vegan and you've ever been served an iceberg lettuce salad with a few shreds of carrot as your entire meal, you may have wanted to ask the chef, "Would you be full on this?" Because while a lettuce salad with balsamic vinaigrette can do in a pinch, there are much more interesting, satisfying, and filling ways to get your greens in.
Here is my method for creating the perfect crave-worthy salad at home:
Each bite should include something different. When I start on a salad, I look through the produce bins first to take stock of what I have. I usually start with a base of massaged kale, green leaf lettuce, romaine, or spinach.
(If you've never massaged kale, it's pretty self-explanatory. You chop kale, throw it in a bowl, and knead it with your hands until it softens. You'll be amazed at how much it shrinks. For even softer kale, massage salad dressing or avocado into the leaves.)
Then I always include red bell peppers, cucumbers, celery, and tomatoes. I go for cherry tomatoes during winter months since they retain their sweetness and aren't mealy.
Depending on the season, other possibilities include broccoli, radishes, cabbage, watercress, cauliflower, sugar snap peas, and even berries like strawberries or blueberries on occasion.
Bold Flavors
I've heard that what makes an addictive restaurant appetizer is having a balance of sweet, salty, and fatty. When those things come together, it ticks all of the pleasure sensors in the brain.
When I'm making a salad, I like to do the same. Having elements with bold flavors keeps me digging in for more.
I especially like any or all of the following: sauerkraut (especially raw sauerkraut), olives, coconut bacon, dolmas, jarred artichoke hearts, and the tangy cashew feta from Vegan Eats World.
The best salads have a mixture of soft, crunchy, and creamy.
While vegetables themselves have some crunch, for even more I like nuts or seeds like peanuts, pistachios, cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, or homemade vegan croutons.
Something Hearty
When a salad is going to be a meal, I like to add at least one protein-heavy component that is hearty. I often include baked tofu, roasted chickpeas, black beans, or marinated lentils. When one of these components is involved, the salad really feels substantive, like a full dinner.
Something Fatty
Salads are typically thought of as a low calorie meal, which is fine, I guess, if someone is counting calories. But I'm not.
So I want to make sure that there are enough calories for it to be satiating and filling. I don't want an hour to pass and then be hungry again. Plus, some fat in a salad helps with absorption of certain nutrients. For extra calories and deliciousness, fat is where it's at.
Obviously, avocado makes anything better. That dreamy fruit was meant for salads (and tacos, and burritos, and tofu scrambles, and nachos, and straight out of the peel with a spoon…)
The nuts, seeds, coconut bacon, olives, and tofu mentioned above also have some good fat in them.
And a rich dressing adds fat, making every leaf more inviting.
Creamy cashew salad dressing
My favorite go-to salad dressing is creamy cashew salad dressing.
I have been making it for years now. The first time I posted the recipe was way back in 2011. Since then, the recipe has evolved a bit, and I'm sharing it below.
Nowadays when I'm making creamy cashew dressing, I don't even bother measuring. It's one of those things I just know by heart.
I pour all of the following into a blender: A couple big handfuls of raw cashews, enough water to cover them, a squeeze of lemon juice, a splash of low-sodium tamari, a clove of garlic, and a small handful of cilantro.
Since I have a high-speed blender, I don't have to soak the cashews first, like I did when I originally posted the recipe. Then I adjust to taste.
If it needs more sour, add lemon. More salt or richness, add tamari. More creaminess, add cashews. More liquid, add water.
I've made it without garlic for people averse to it and without cilantro for people who think cilantro tastes soapy. Even without those two ingredients, it's still delicious.
(If you don't have a high-speed blender, you have three options. 1. Soak the cashews in water overnight and drain before following the recipe. 2. Grind the dry, raw cashews first in a coffee grinder until they become a flour, and then put them in the blender. 3. Cover the cashews in boiling water and let them soak 10-20 minutes before draining and using.)
The creamy cashew salad dressing has a wonderful mix of umami from the tamari, tanginess from the lemon, and hit of garlic. I especially like it on kale salads, because it's a full-bodied dressing that can stand up to the boldness of kale.
The velvety texture of the dressing is yet another reason why cashews are the magicians of nuts. Who would have guessed that cashews could make a dressing so creamy without any dairy at all?
While I have made a ton of different dressings over the years, this is the one I keep coming back to. It's my all-time favorite.
See how to make the creamy cashew salad dressing in this video:
Makes about 3/4 cup of dressing
You're going to want to put this garlicky dressing on everything. It stands up to massaged kale. It's great on romaine with croutons. Keep a batch in the refrigerator at all times, and watch as your salad intake increases.
2 minPrep Time
2 minCook Time
4 minTotal Time
- 1/2 cup raw cashews*
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon tamari
- 1 heaping Tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 small clove garlic
- Put all of the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.
The dressing will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It will continue to thicken over time. If necessary, thin the dressing with a splash of water.
*If not using a high speed blender, you'll need to soak the cashews in water ahead of time and drain them. I also give other suggestions in the body of the post.

Extreme emotional stress, like losing a loved one, can play a huge part in the shedding of hair especially in women. Some women lose hair at an alarming rate when under these conditions.
Why is that? This happens when hair goes through its normal growth cycle and enters into the "dormant" stage. It's normal to lose approximately 100 hairs per day but when under emotional stress, cortisol is released in the body and high levels can cause a 30% increase in hair to become dormant thus causing patchiness and loss of hair. This condition is called Telogen Effluvium (TE).
The good news is, this is usually a temporary condition and within a few months the hair follicles return to their normal growth cycle. If the condition persists, stress reduction is the answer so talk to your physician about how to best manage and control stress levels and understand the triggers.
For more information, visit our Hair Loss Discussion Forum http://www.ishrs.org/forum/what-causes-hair-loss-4-major-contributors on topics such as stress.

We hold an auction each November called the "tax sale". At the tax sale, properties with three years of unpaid property taxes are offered for sale by auction.
The current owners or registered charge holders of these properties have one year after the tax sale to redeem the property from the tax sale process. "Redeeming" is how the original owner makes a payment to rescue their property from the tax sale process.
Once a property is redeemed, we will refund all the money paid by the bidder, plus interest to the date of redemption, back to the bidder.
If the property is not redeemed, the process of transferring the property's ownership to the new owner starts.
There is no pre-registration to participate in the tax sale auction and seating is limited and available on a first come, first served basis.
In-person attendance is required to participate in the auction. Bidders do not require registration cards to bid.
We publish a tax sale list online one week before the auction. This list identifies the properties that will be up for auction.
The list may be updated daily and changes may occur up to and during the tax sale auction.
We are not responsible for the condition or quality of the properties being offered for sale. We recommend that you research each property.
It is important to determine whether there are other restrictions, charges or conditions that may affect a property's value or sustainability.
Please do not trespass onto the properties being offered for sale. It would be an infringment on the owner's right.
Successful bidders are required to:
Successful bidders must secure their bid by paying the upset price.
Payments will be accepted starting one hour after the completion of the auction to 12 noon of the following day and may be made by:
If you intend to pay via debit card, you may wish to contact your financial institution in advance to determine your daily limit.
Upon payment, the successful bidder receives a Certificate of Purchase.
If the property is not redeemed by the end of the redemption period (one year after the auction) the successful bidder must pay the surplus bid amount within 30 days.
