The Human Registry
Name: Johanna Barrett
Age: 31
Current Status: Registered
Current Occupation: Nurse
Father: Liam Barrett - Deceased
Mother: Kate Barrett - unknown
Brother: Craig Barrett (36) - unknown
Johanna is petite, barely 5'4. She has dark blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a few tattoos, mostly hidden away.
Playby: Scarlett Johanson
Johanna has been described in the past as a force of nature, though the invasion has crushed a lot of that spirit out of her, at least in public. She no longer fights for what she thinks is right when it comes to her work, especially now she works for the Adveni.
Johanna doesn't suffer bullshit, and is quick to call out people if she thinks they're trying to manipulate her. Her sense of humour is rather dark, and mostly dirty. She knows exactly where the boundary of what is appropriate lies, but she loves dancing along it and pushing people.
Having spent most of her adult life focussed on her career, she misses the challenge and will often look for challenges in other areas of her life.
Are you a Sect Member: No
Name of Sect:
Johanna was born to Liam and Kate Barrett, a firefighter and a beautician. She was the second child, her brother Craig already five years old by the time she came along. Home life was normal, if sometimes a little tight on budget, until two policemen showed up at their door in the middle of the night. Her father had been killed in a fire. She was seven years old.
Despite their grief, they picked themselves up relatively quickly. Her teenage years flew by and after a lot of pleading telephone calls and letters, Johanna managed to get a scholarship to Brown to study pre-med.
She was about six months into her second year at Brown when she met Nicolas. She was on a pub crawl, and as part of a treasure hunt, she had to get a pair of men's boxers. Nicolas was watching baseball at the time, and without a girlfriend hanging off him like most of the other guys, she walked up and asked. He gave her the most knee-weakening grin and told her that it usually took a few drinks. Since she clearly had a hunt to win, they agreed that the drinks would have to come later.
He never got his boxers back, but Johanna didn't think he minded.
After six months, just as Nicolas was getting ready to graduate, Johanna realised that this was the man she was going to marry. They'd already agreed that they would go to Berkeley, him to study law, her to study medicine, and the plan was that during the summer, she'd go with him home and meet the infamous parents he spoke of so often.
After that summer, however, Nicolas never enrolled in his place in Berkeley. Instead, he took a low level desk job at the CIA and they got a place together. Johanna didn't argue it much, since it meant he stayed close instead of being on the other side of the country, but the man she'd fallen in love with started to change. He was secretive and quiet, not to mention that this low-level job kept him out at all hours.
It took him another eighteen months to break it off, just as she was about to graduate. He told her to go to Berkeley, but he was staying. He didn't even give her a choice.
So, Johanna went on with her life. She studied and became a doctor. She specialised in Psychiatry and got a job in a hospital in Seattle, working with vulnerable patients. She kept busy. Relationships came and went, friends stuck around. She was busy enough to stop herself from finding out what had happened to Nicolas Harper-Flynn.
When the invasion happened, Johanna lost contact with her family. She'd been living in Seattle and when the war had been declared won by the Adveni, she registered even though she hated it. Continuing on as a doctor wasn't an option, but the Adveni re-purposed the Hospital and she was able to sign on as a nurse, where she's been ever since.

Here's How To Protect Your Home Against Burglaries
No matter where you live, it is an unfortunate fact that burglary is possible. In fact, the statistics show that in recent years, it has significantly increased. While you may feel that you are in a safe area, you never know what will happen. This does not mean, of course, that you should live your life constantly in fear of what might happen. However, it does mean that it might be worthwhile taking some active steps towards protecting your home. Fortunately, this is quite easy to achieve in general. In fact, burglary – though a common crime – is also one of the easiest to prevent. The key lies in being careful about what you do when you are away from the home. If you are keen to learn how you can go about improving the security of your home, then read on. Here are our top tips for protecting your home against burglaries.
# Don't Advertise Anything
More often than not, burglaries occur because the homeowner advertised something. Then, the burglar pounced on the opportunity. That's why the first step in burglary prevention is to do your best not to advertise your belongings – or the home itself. This takes a number of different forms. First of all, ensure that you do not leave valuables in plain sight. Often, people leave their valued possessions near to a window. This is a common cause of burglaries. Ensure that you keep everything away from the windows as much as possible. Similarly, do your best not to show that you are not there when you are away. For this, you can use timers on one or two of the lights, or even on a radio. So long as you are doing everything in your power not to advertise your home as a viable option for a burglar.
# Install Security
If you have the means – and the inclination – to protect your home even further, then there are many ways to do so. It is a good idea, here, to start with the perimeter, for obvious reasons. There is no need to go overboard, but you do want to make sure that your home is as well protected as possible. One great way to massively boost the security of your home is to install a security door. These are heavy doors with many locks and deadbolts, and often Steel frames. These doors are much harder to knock down than traditional front doors. As such, they act as a pretty effective deterrent against potential burglars.
# Keep An Eye Out
Last but not least, one of the best preventative measures is to keep an eye out in the local community. True, some burglaries just happen out of the blue, and there is little that can be done about them. However, most of them time, burglars will move through a particular area in a short space of time. As such, it is important that you keep an eye out for any strange happenings in your local area. What's more, be especially vigilant if anybody else has recently been burgled near you.

Opening of the exhibition Fabulous Iceland – Portraits of contemporary Icelandic authors
On the first of February at the European Parliament in Brussels, the opening of the exhibition Fabulous Iceland – Portraits of contemporary Icelandic authors took place. Photographs by Kristinn Ingvarsson are juxtaposed with text from journalist Pétur Blöndal which reflects the importance of Iceland's literary history on the modern day authors.
H.E. Mr. Thorir Ibsen, ambassador to the EU and the European Parliament's Committee for Foreign Affairs Dan Preda opened the exhibition.
Iceland has been in the spotlight as nation of literature in the last few months. Iceland was the focus of the Frankfurt Book Fair under the slogan Fabulous Iceland and last August Reykjavik was named UNESCO's City of Literature
The exhibition is a part of the embassy's promotional work which aims to engage people in Icelandic culture present in Belgium, Holland and Luxemburg. The coming months the exhibition will be displayed in other venues of the European Union.

Palm Beach County officials knew they would get a lot of telephone calls about the new garbage billing system, but they didn`t count on the offbeat ones.
Consider the woman who wanted to avoid the mandatory service, costing from $75 to $120 a year. She said her dog eats her garbage.
``She claims he eats the cans, too,`` said Greg Cook, systems analyst for the county Sanitation Department. ``You think we`re kidding, don`t you? We`ve had a few people who said that.``
They have said other things, too, since the system started April 1, Cook said, including:
(BU) ``The alligators in the back yard eat my garbage.``
(BU) ``I don`t need the county service because I take my garbage to the dumpster down the street.``
(BU) ``I only have a few dollars a month, and I give it to God? Why should I give it to the garbage people?``
(BU) ``I served in World War II, and my brother gave his life in World War II. Why should I pay my garbage bill?``
(BU) ``Do I get a refund if I die?``
(BU) ``It`s a communist plot to overthrow Palm Beach County.``
(BU) ``I don`t generate any garbage because I eat out every night of the week.``
(BU) ``We might as well move to Cuba because Castro has moved to Palm Beach County.``
All were fruitless attempts to avoid garbage bills mailed to these residents of unincorporated Palm Beach County, Cook said. The bills, mailed two weeks ago to 54,000 homes, are the result of a mandatory garbage-collection ordinance passed earlier this year.
The ordinance makes the county responsible for bill collection, instead of haulers. The purpose is to eliminate dumping on roadsides and vacant lots.
But the new billing system has left some people confused, prompting more than 1,500 calls to the Sanitation Department last week, Cook said. Monday was the biggest day, with 356 people calling the 272-0004 in southern Palm Beach County and 837-3987 in West Palm Beach.

As the contemporary globe gets more frantic with raising international turmoil both political and economic, along with swiftly advancing technologies that are transforming our lives quicker than in the past, in some cases one truly needs to simply step far from the globe and also unwind. Exactly how people do this is of course a highly customized matter. Occasionally this is straightforward as well as nearly charming in just how low tech it is, such as knitting or baking. Other individuals locate their relief in meaningless video games or http://acegolfnetting.com/driving-range-netting-and-installation/ watching imported tv programs with someone special. One way among others to deal with the strain of the contemporary world is to take some time for oneself and technique placing on a house golf green.
The home golf environment-friendly is a straightforward thing, though it's been favored by effective individuals with the modern-day background of the video game of golf. Of particular note was Head of state Dwight D. Eisenhower, the initiator of the USA Interstate Freeway System, that exercised on a putting green installed in the White House daily. While these house golf environment-friendlies are a terrific way to practice putting and take a few swings off one's video game, sometimes there are complications. Shedding one's sphere on a golf environment-friendly can naturally be a discouraging, which on a really tight location is constantly aggravating, whether it's under a hefty furniture or right into a vegetable garden.
One method to manage these problems is with Ace Golf Netting netting. Golf netting is a straightforward item planned to make practicing golf swings easier as well as less discouraging. At its heart, it's an easy mesh internet that catches golf rounds where it's been established, not unlike a fishing net. As opposed to the golf rounds rolling all willy nilly all over the place when one manages to place their sphere off their eco-friendly, the net captures the spheres and also sometimes rolls them back on to the eco-friendly for an additional round for the gamer. These webs make sure that the golf will certainly not need to lose time looking for loss balls, whether it's on an indoor or outdoor placing environment-friendly.
Still, there are some words of advising to be followed. Indoor as well as outside playing golf webs are not the very same product and exactly what lasts inside your home will likely not last long in rough weather condition, while outdoor golf webs usually have to be secured into the ground rather than delicately put on a building's floor. Getting the right type for where your putting environment-friendly is can be important, as is doing some standard research study into any type of golf webs you might wish to purchase.
Larger golf nets can be gotten for other types of golfing method as well. Bigger internet for practicing one's longer variety swings with woods and also irons are readily available for those with the room to spare for such devices. Extra resilient internet in larger sizes could likewise be acquired for business driving ranges where hundreds of rounds will certainly damage the internet daily, though these webs are usually the sole district of companies instead of ordinary gamers.

Launcher for games
I'm a pretty heavy gamer, and I'm a fan of using a very organized and minimalist computer. I used to use Steam to launch games, but some games don't work with it. I then tried using the Game explorer, with it set in the Start Menu to pop out when I hover over it. This was messy and didn't work with Steam games. (Even with a nice application called Steam Assistance, several games weren't recognized and wouldn't launch.) So I'd like to just use a bunch of aliases in folders. Putting them in the start menu requires either too many clicks or too much scrolling, depending on how I organize. So I'd like a launcher, but I'm overwhelmed by options.
Right now I have a folder in the start menu called Games. Inside that -
I would like each of those subfolders to be displayed on the right side of the screen, allowing me to select a folder, have it open, potentially open a subfolder (Such as adding Tower Defense to Strategy or Space to Vehicular) and then select a game to launch. Right click options such as Vista's Game explorer used to allow me to create easily (PITA in Seven) would be AMAZINGLY appreciated, but not a requirement.
Parabolic zoom or whatever other animations are an annoyance, I would want to be able to turn them off in favor of something more subtle. I do NOT want it to be a dock, the difference that a dock keeps track of running applications as well as shortcuts. All I've been able to find thus far are things like RocketDock, and that's not what I'm after.

Master of Arts in International Relations
Master of Arts in International Relations
The curriculum of the MA degree program in International Relations is designed to provide students with a broad analytical background in the major fields of international affairs, combined with the specific focus gained through either a functional or regional concentration.
The purpose of the required curricula is to ensure that every student in the program receives basic, broad-based, interdisciplinary training in international affairs. This includes graduate level course-work in international politics and historical, political, and social process.
The small number of students admitted each year allows the program to be tailored to individual needs and encourages close interaction between students and faculty. The program intends to provide a solid academic background for students planning careers related to development, whether in government, private volunteer agencies or business related sectors.
The courses, which were designed to supplement substantial and more theoretical aspects of the Master's curriculum, teach the ability to:
- analyze and forecast international events
- conduct strategic planning for organizations with a global scope
- lead, negotiate and work in teams in a cross-cultural environment
The program of study is usually completed in four terms of full-time study with 58 credits and GPA not less than 75. Besides basic prerequisites (20 credits) there are five required courses (28 credits) and four elective courses (elective courses are listed below). Students concentrating in the regional studies need six courses in the two-year program. Ideally, they should mix more policy-oriented courses with those that have a more "classical" and historical bent, including the research seminar. The program does not cover particular countries as much as it examines a more general political and historical tradition that shapes the politics and life of this certain region. Students who choose the area sub-fields must pass one of the area language proficiency examinations.
Master Thesis (6 credits)
The master thesis must be an original research work related to the chosen field. The thesis topic will normally be chosen during the first semester. The Committee on Graduate Studies (CGS) must approve the faculty member who has agreed to direct the project.

The Cross. The Resurrection.
Family. Worship. Celebration.
Food. Ham. Potatoes. Asparagus. Carrots. Pies. Puddings. Cheesecake.
I can almost taste that delicious, sweet, salty, perfectly baked ham. Can't you?
I love gathering around the table. I love gathering around the table with family. I love gathering around the table with family and catching up, telling stories and cherishing the moment.
If you're having ham for your Easter dinner, I imagine you'll have leftovers. Because there are always leftovers. I shall leave you with a few different types of recipes to use up that leftover ham:
And remember, if you don't think you'll use the leftovers right away, slice and/or dice the ham…then freeze!
What's your favorite recipe that uses up that leftover holiday ham?

Sept 1 (Reuters) - Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the nation's biggest lender, confirmed the existence of an internal report warning of shortcomings in its monitoring of offshore transactions after media said it had obtained the report.
News Corp's Sky News Business said CBA's confidential review of its institutional banking and markets division went to senior executives in February, and showed transaction monitoring was "non-existent or minimal across almost two thirds" of that division.
"The document referred to in those media reports was a working document, proposing technology enhancements as part of our ongoing programme of action," CBA said in a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange on Friday.

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is today!" ~ Chinese Proverb
Welcome to Tree Day! Tree Day takes place on the third Wednesday of September every year! Tree Day is a celebration of all the amazing and important benefits trees provide like clean air, soil stabilizations, shelter, food for wildlife and more!
This year at CWF, we started our Tree Day celebrations early with TD Friends of the Environment. As part of TD Tree Days, 46 volunteers came out on Sunday, September 13th and planted 150 trees behind CWF's head office in Kanata, Ontario. Volunteers from local TD branches, their families, as well as CWF friends and staff worked hard to plant the trees despite the heavy rainfall they encountered! Through mud, rain and slippery puddles, the volunteers persevered. And now, the trees will provide shelter for local wildlife and make CWF's headquarters a true haven for biodiversity to thrive. Thank you to everyone that came out to make that happen!
Become part of the movement and take part in this year's Tree Day celebrations:
- Sign the pledge that you'll plant a tree this fall and share it on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram with the hashtag #TreeDay and tag @CWF_FCF.
- Celebrate Tree Day by symbolically adopting an animal who makes its home in a woodland or forest like the black bear, red fox, and spotted owl. Proceeds help CWF's habitat conservation efforts.
- Participate in CWF's By Popular Vote! Monthly Photo Contest. The theme? Tree Day! Submit a picture of your favourite tree or treed area. You can also share it on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram with the hashtag #TreeDay and tag @CWF_FCF.
- Share a picture of an outdoor area with trees that holds a special place in your heart with us on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram and hashtag it with #TreeDay
- Download Leafsnap on your iPhone for FREE and start identifying tree species from photographs of their leaves on your outdoor outings. The app was created with the support of TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.

Sweet Home Alabama – Episode 3-4 Review – "Welcome To Miami"
When I chatted with Paige Duke on Friday about the upcoming episode of Sweet Home Alabama she said there would be drama at elimination. And there certainly was! The episode threw me for a loop more than once, so let's talk about it!
Bright lights, big city
Paige had four dates with city guys this week, all taking place in Miami. And the dates were…well, they were different.
First up was Christian, and I liked his date the best of the four. He was the only guy who didn't seem like he was trying too hard, and therefore the only guy who seemed like he was really being himself. He introduced Paige to his culture by teaching her to play dominoes, sitting down for some Cuban cuisine and checking out a cigar shop. The date seemed like it went quickly, and it only ended with a little peck of a kiss, but I still thought it seemed like they had a nice time.
Next Paige went out with Jeremy. Jeremy definitely seemed like he was trying too hard with the fancy boat, and just the way he acts. He's not really sleazy, he just has the air of a big nerd who's come into money and doesn't know how else to impress a pretty girl. I was surprised that Paige seemed to have a great time with him, that wasn't what I expected.
Speaking of trying too hard, Todd picked Paige up in a fancy (rented!) car, and they drove around for a while. It actually seemed like they were having a really good conversation, but the date itself left a bad taste in my mouth. A fancy car? Trying on diamonds and expensive jewelry? How is that a date? Todd seems funny, and he had a nice conversation with Paige, but it seems like he's trying to overcompensate for something.
Finally, it was the date we were all waiting four: Shaun. Shaun was planning to take Paige out on a boat so he could dump her – not throw her off the boat, just break up with her. He's not that cruel. He was planning on spending a week in Miami before going home to New York. Instead, he changed his mind and I'm not sure what to think. On the one hand, if Shaun didn't genuinely want to return to Alabama and keep getting to know Paige, then why would he admit he was about to end things? Yet, everything he said sounded so false. He also loves rescued pit bulls and wants to open an animal shelter? Oh my, what a coincidence! That's only something you could figure out about Paige via a quick Google search in the hotel lobby. Am I really supposed to believe this guy had a big change of heart?
Paige certainly had a change of heart when it came to Shaun, though. Going into the date, she said she wanted to talk to him and see "if I really can't stand him as much as I think I do." And as they talked, and Shaun smugly discussed how he doesn't really like the South, Paige said "I honestly thought I was going to push him off the boat. I did not like him." But the gal likes her dogs, and that was his in – by the end of the date, they were kissing.
Aw, shoot!
The country guys were pretty sure that Paige would eliminate a couple guys in Miami, so they were pretty bummed when all four men returned. It didn't help that the city guys were eager to gloat about their fun dates – Jeremy was the biggest jerk, telling them Paige had said their date was the most fun she'd had yet. Really? Keep it to yourself, buddy. That's a sign of an insecure guy. The country guys were just as insecure and jealous, ragging on Todd about his rented car, but Jeremiah did have a point – of all the dates, Christian's was the only one that was authentic.
The next day, Paige took all the country guys out shooting, and we were hit with another twist. Austin (who was cute, but didn't get much screen time) had to leave since he'd landed a job with the fire department in Mobile. Paige handled the news with class, and it was pretty refreshing to see someone on a reality TV show make a practical decision. The last time that happened was Alli on The Bachelor, and if you'll remember she later quit the very job she'd left the show for so she could star as The Bachelorette and talk about how guilty she felt for choosing work over "love". Sometimes the bills have gots ta get paid, yo!
I know Paige likes shooting and everything, but I hope soon some of the country guys will get to go on some more glamorous dates. It's unfair to let the city guys have all the flash and glitz. But then I guess Jeremiah would have to brush his teeth if they were going on a date somewhere other than a combine.
Elimination Drama
Paige showed up for elimination knowing she had to send two guys home. First she said goodbye to Christian. I liked Christian, but I guess they didn't have a ton of chemistry on their date. Still, I liked him better than some other guys. *coughbigshauncough*
Next Paige spoke with Landon, who she was obviously planning on sending home. But she wanted to talk with him first, because she felt that he hadn't seemed himself when they went shooting the day before. I like Landon, but he definitely seems like the possessive, overprotective, jealous type. I think Paige sees Landon as protective and sweet, but she's not sure anything more is there. Landon told Paige that he hated seeing her with some of these guys, particularly Jeremy. Apparently Jeremy had been bragging about having Skype-sex with his ex-girlfriend. Klassy!
Obviously, Paige was mad. If Jeremy was bragging about his ex only a day after he had a romantic date with her, then that's not cool. It's sleazy, it calls his character into question, and it makes her look bad. So Paige sent Landon back to the porch with the other guys and had Boyd bring Jeremy down to talk to her. Jeremy was surprised, and he said Landon didn't know what he was talking about, but he didn't exactly deny it either. He was pissed, too.
And that's pretty much where the episode cut off. This Friday we'll see Jeremy confront Landon about what was said, and we'll see how the other guys react. I understand why Paige eliminated Jeremy, and I probably would have made the same decision. But I also think Landon could be the kind of guy to overreact or exaggerate something.What do you guys think? Who should Paige have eliminated? Do you buy what Big Shaun is selling? Tell me in the comments!

Liberty Funds Group of Boston has completed its year-long integration of its subsidiaries, Colonial Management Associates of Boston and Stein Roe Mutual Funds of Chicago.
Integration has meant coordinating business planning, marketing, distribution and administrative functions and has included consolidating the trasfer agency, fund accounting and equity trading functions of the two companies, the company said. However, investments at Colonial and Stein Roe, which are respectively known as growth and value firms, will continue to be separate, the company said.
As part of the integration, Liberty has appointed Philip Fragasso to serve as managing director for marketing for all of Liberty's brands and distribution channels. This is a new position at Liberty. Fragasso was formerly with Sun Life of Canada.
In addition, Liberty has hired Nicholas S. Norton, formerly of Scudder Kemper Investments of Boston, to head a new, integrated telephone customer service center in Denver, Colo.

Do the times make the person or the person the times?
Gautam Mukunda, author of the new book Indispensable: When Leaders Really Matter, argues that most political science research "either implicitly assumes or explicitly argues that individual leaders don't much matter at all." Mukunda says that a similar view is pervasive in his own field of management.
Is it possible, however, to challenge that view by measuring the impact of a leader? In baseball sabermetrics, fo instance, there is a stat known as WAR, or wins above replacement. How many games would the New York Yankees win with Alex Rodriguez as opposed to his replacement? If the answer is not many more, then one can evaluate Rodriguez as a pretty expensive bust.
In the context of leadership, Mukunda writes, "leader impact can best be thought of as the marginal difference between what actually happened and what would have happened if the most likely alternative leader had come to power."
In the business leadership context, consider Jack Welch, who was by most accounts an enormously successful CEO at General Electric. Indeed, Welch was a "management legend," as the Wall Street Journal dubbed him, but GE was also really good at picking good managers. So, if an alternative CEO had served in Welch's place, Leadership Filtration Theory suggests, "there is every reason to believe that this alternative CEO would also have been a very good leader."
In the video below, Mukunda uses Leader Filtration Theory to measure the impact of American Presidents. The two he evaluates are Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson.
Would the 13th Amendment have passed without Lincoln's leadership? Would the U.S. have joined the League of Nations had it not been for the stubbornness of Wilson? How much credit or blame should a leader get for these outcomes?

Car prowlings spike to 20-year high in Calgary
Police believe much of the crime is drug-addiction related
The rate of thefts from vehicles is higher now than it has been since police started keeping statistics, which is about 20 years ago, says Calgary police Insp. Keith Cain.
"It seems to be a number of factors that are contributing to this very concerning phase that we are going through, or trend that we're seeing, " says Cain.
- OTHER CRIME NEWS | Calgary police investigate possible shots fired in Whitehorn
- OTHER CRIME NEWS | Car-jacking robbery leaves man with life-threatening injuries
That trend not only includes thefts from vehicles — or car prowlings as they are also known — but other related crimes including vehicle thefts, or break and enter into garages, or homes, once the criminal has the garage door opener.
All of these types of crimes are up 50 per cent over last year.
"All of this I suppose, education of the criminals, of them moving up the food chain, has resulted in a huge increase in all these offences," Cain said.
Window repairs 'busier than ever'
It's keeping auto glass shops busy around Calgary. CalAlta Auto Glass customer service representative Kary Heikoop says she has been getting one or two related calls every day.
"I'm surprised at the fact of how often, people are coming in and and every time, I usually ask what happened to the windshield so we can understand, and constantly, vandalism — somebody broke into it, smashed it," said Heikoop.
Jake Franklin, a technician with Dynasty Auto Glass, wonders if this year's increase is connected to the economic downturn.
"There's a lot of really desperate people out there and there's a little bit everywhere, that if they can find it they'll grab it."
No proof it's downturn-related
Cain says police don't have information yet to show there's a direct correlation between the increase in crime and the downturn.
He says there's a wide range of people committing these crimes, but statistically, they're mostly adults who are trying to fuel their drug addictions.
And it's happening all over the city. That's why police will be launching a city-wide home-protection blitz that will see flyers delivered face to face to someone in the home.
The flyers provide some reminders on how to keep you, your vehicle and your home safe, Cain says.
"There should never be anything of value that's visible. If it's visible, the criminal may decide that it's worth their while to smash and do $200 or $300 or $400 in property damage to grab something that may only be worth $5 or $10 from your vehicle," he said.
Cain says you also shouldn't leave keys or a garage door opener in the vehicle. And you should ensure the door from the garage to the home is kept locked.

From the time J.A.D. McCurdy swooped into Lexington in his Curtiss biplane on Aug. 9, 1911, Lexingtonians were in love with aviation.
In 1912, the Kentucky Association racetrack downtown was the first to merge two of Lexington's great passions: horse racing and flying planes. The 1912 Aviation Meet and Automobile Races was held at the track, which was transformed into an impromptu aerodrome of temporary hangars.
The three-day meet drew an estimated 50,000 people.
Lindbergh flew in to Lexington in 1928, trying to dodge hordes of fans who swarmed his every appearance after his transatlantic crossing the previous year. Aviatrix Amelia Earhart spoke at the old Henry Clay High School in 1936.
Lexington's first airfield was off Leestown Road in what is now the Meadowthorpe neighborhood. Then it was the home of Samuel Halley, president and general manager of the Fayette Tobacco Warehouse.
Although not a pilot himself, Halley was fascinated by machines and gadgetry, and allowed a part of his property to become an airstrip, known as Lexington Municipal Airport-Halley Field.
Flight in Lexington is the driving force behind a new book, Blue Grass Airport: An American Aviation Story (West High LLC, Blue Grass Airport, $39.95). The book came out last week with Lexington book signings featuring former astronaut Story Musgrave, who wrote in the introduction that "it is here that aviation became my calling."
A Bedouin proverb says that horses fly without wings. But one chapter of the book chronicles how the Bluegrass's precious cargo flies with wings, huge metal ones, and gets first-class treatment.
H.E. Sutton Forwarding Co. might not sound like the most exciting of businesses, but what it does is unique: Established by the late Tex Sutton, it works exclusively on transporting horses by air.
In the book's chapter about horse flight, written by former Herald-Leader horse racing reporter Maryjean Wall, the experience of flying horses is described.
In 2012, Sutton's company flew 591 horses out of Blue Grass Airport on its Boeing 727.
"Pilots take special care when flying horses so as not to throw them off balance," the books says. "They make wide turns and smooth landings. The pilots begin their descent about 100 miles farther out than customary. This enables them to make a shallow descent to the runway. With live cargo whose value might run into the millions of dollars, they can't take chances that might lead to their passengers becoming injured."
One unique maintenance problem: The plane is checked regularly for spilled urine. Every 100 flight hours the crew removes the horse stalls from the plane to check the fuselage floor for corrosion, which could occur if urine should leak onto the metal surface.

It's hard to believe my team has been in Austin for nearly four weeks already. As part of the 2012 Code for America Fellowship program, we're nearing the end of our residency: five weeks of interviews, meetings, events and information gathering. Code for America is a non-profit based in San Francisco that partners teams of developers and designer with cities around the country to encourage innovation in government and civic engagement.
With each successive meeting, we're getting closer to identifying the issues we'll tackle this year. Whether defined in terms of software, data, or overall transparency, it's clear that Austin has embraced citizens' expectations of open government. Though I've always been interested in technology and government, it wasn't until working on the Peer to Patent project and later at Creative Commons that it all began to come together. As the lines between my interests continued to blur, the opportunity at Code for America presented itself.
Why Open Data?
In Austin, the city has demonstrated its commitment to open. We hope to get things closer to open by default. Austin rebuilt its website using Drupal, an open source content management system. Departments do a terrific job of balancing public demands with the time, resource, and technology constraints in place. Whether that's telling the stories of what works, giving presentations about a "Lean Startup" approach to projects, demonstrating apps the cool kids are using, or simply listening for signals, we're here to change things.
We hope to further Austin's proactive approach to the release of public information. Austin finished 2011 with the launch of data.austintexas.gov and approval of a resolution (Item 74) affirming the City Council's commitment to open government. As the elements of an Open Data Framework come together, there are examples from other cities and many in the community who can provide guidance on the process. We hope to help in any way we can. Here's a recent example from Raleigh, N.C. For example, why not respond to public information requests with a link to the dataset on the portal rather than just a one-off reply? The software development principle of DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) guides us here. We're here to make sure the technical and cultural turning point goes the right way.
Last Saturday, February 25, we hosted an event to build apps and visualizations using this information -- and to bring together the many community members and city staffers we have connected with so far. Nationwide, the number of government APIs is growing fast. Imagine "big data" meetup groups in Austin using city datasets to practice their skills and find trends, or mash up city data with other datasets. Even if the data isn't that clean, interested developers will polish it and return it. Let's get more of this rocket fuel for innovation in the hands of developers. That's one of many reasons Code Across America -- A Week of Civic Innovation is happening right now.
Listening to Everyone
Before coming to Austin, we spent a lot of time thinking about who our "client" is. Are we working for the city? The citizens? Everyone? Rapid iteration and constant feedback help ensure that it's usefulness, not documentation, that drives our process. How to do that while addressing the digital divide? How to avoid one voice drowning out the others? That's something we all need to figure out. We also want citizens to enjoy themselves and connect. For example, my teammates put together a virtual gallery for the People's Gallery art show at City Hall, and we'll be encouraging visitors to tweet their comments for display on monitors during the event.
The Civic Technology Community
Followers of the civic technology space are familiar with events like Random Hacks of Kindness, CityCamps, or the Summer of Smart. What does it all mean? In sum, it's the emergence of a new class of concerned citizen, armed with a passion for civic engagement and the technological skills to make it happen. The software world is becoming increasingly aware of its opportunity to improve daily life and civic awareness, not just compete for "the next big thing." Not that there's anything wrong with the latter. Indeed, the line is disappearing as traditional software development processes and models reveal their stresses in a highly networked environment.
By encouraging the community to participate in government, exposing more public data and guiding the entire process, we can make sure that self-selected experts and interested citizens can help lead the way. For me, that's just the beginning of The Code for America Effect.

What other people are saying about CUPPA
Self-esteem is a double-edged sword, and the research literature suggests we're wise to handle the concept with care: perhaps counterintuitively, high levels of "self-esteem" can be associated with deeply undesirable outcomes, relating to a false sense of immunity from consequences. But when a deep sense of self-worth is associated with a love of learning, resilience in the face of failure and a seeking out of challenges, we see happier results in individuals' personal lives and educational achievements. The underlying message in many of the CUPPA stories speaks to the latter understanding, and blessedly so!
Barry J Hymer, Professor of Psychology in Education, University of Cumbria in Lancaster.
There is an African proverb which says 'When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you'. Self-confidence and self-esteem are crucial if children are to achieve their full potential. Children learn from a very early age to feel inadequate and have negative beliefs about their abilities and appearance. Parents and educators in all sectors have a responsibility to ensure that as much attention is given to this so-called 'soft' aspect of their development as that given to other seemingly more important areas such as academic subjects. If we are to build resilient young people capable of taking their rightful place in a rapidly changing and demanding world, their emotional well-being is very much dependant on the fostering of self-esteem. Ross McWilliam has identified that transition stages in the life of a young person are ones in which particular attention needs to be paid to nurturing a sense of positivity, and has created a very valuable and immensely informative set of resources to address the transition period between primary and secondary school. Adults and children alike will be both challenged and educated, through the interactive and measurable medium of 'The Amazing Journey of CUPPA'. What an amazing body of work this is!

As a child with a heavy involvement in drama, I found the CUPPA books really useful – especially as I loved challenging my dad! I have even put some tips into practice and really enjoyed making Cara The Completer!

The Amazing Journey of CUPPA, is like a torch in a tunnel that may feel endless, but life has tunnels and we must get through them because that very life is too valuable.
Alvin Law, Global Motivational Speaker
I thought the book overall was very good and extremely well written, the characters were all very well described which helped you understand the situations they were all in and how it made them feel.
Genevieve Harkness Age 11, Ridgewood School, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, UK
Ross McWilliam BA (Hons) MSc, PGCE, LCSP, CMI Level 7
Ross has worked in over 500 schools in both permanent and temporary roles. He has worked at all levels of academic delivery – i.e. primary, secondary, special, college and university – and across three countries.
Ross works with small groups on specific interventions, based around self-esteem and starter confidence, linked to simple interview and communication skills. He also delivers, to larger groups of over 500, a combination of keynote speaking and active learning about being "The Best Version of You!"
As a former teacher of Physical Education, Computing, Emotional Behavioural Difficulties and Special Educational Needs (as well as working in a host of other non-educational positions, including Community and Commercial Manager at Preston North End FC), he has a passion for the development of the self and believes all young people need a platform of self-esteem, confidence, emotional resilience and soft communication skills on which to build future achievements, be they academic or otherwise. This passion is borne out by his own personal, physical and emotional health challenges which have given him a clear insight to the development of confidence and resilience. Now he engages each week with the education sector as a freelance educator.
He is a firm believer that everyone can reach their potential in life by finding their talents. When you find one talent, you generally find another nearby – it's just a case of working hard and smart. This is where the book comes in, along with the support of parents, teachers and all those genuinely interested in developing children to reach their full potential.

Advocating responsible government, Dedra Vick pledges to continue to have the same dedication to the duties of the treasurer's office as she maintained during the 25 years as the owner, along with her husband, Charley, of Vick's Chevron Food Mart. Responsibility for the business' accounting, payroll, record keeping and investments, as well as the supervision of the employees, has provided leadership skills and knowledge of fiscal management.
"Essentially, the skills that I developed have prepared me for this position. As a businesswoman, I performed these similar duties daily. Informing the voters about the qualifications and duties of the position of treasurer is very important to me so that everyone can make an informed decision."
Additionally, Vick, who is currently employed as an Evidence Technician under Sheriff Larry Fowler at the Parker County Sheriff's Department, has had the opportunity to familiarize herself with the duties and responsibilities of the various departments within county government.
"My primary goal will be to do a good job for the people who employ me, the taxpayers of Parker County," she said.
Public service is one of Vick's main principles in life. Conservative Christian values, a love for people and the desire to be involved in her community inspire her to seek service-oriented organizations to give back. She has served as the past treasurer for the Bush Legacy Republican Women of Weatherford, is a board member of the North Side Pride Committee, an associate member of Republican Women, and is a supporter of numerous local charities.
Vick is a lifelong resident of Parker County, a graduate of Weatherford High School and Weatherford College. She and her husband of 27 years, Charley, have one son, Nathan.
The Vick family enjoys spending much of their free time participating in outdoor activities. Her other interests include gardening, sewing, cooking, family and friends.
The Weatherford Star-Telegram inadvertently said Hollis was running for the position of Constable in Precinct 3 when she is running for Justice of the Peace, Precinct No. 3. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the Hollis campaign.
Anne Hollis for Parker County Justice of the Peace Precinct #3
My motto is "Leadership means service." That means I don't sit around waiting or hoping for something to happen. As a leader, I make amazing things happen. There are no excuses or blame, I will deliver solutions, results and go above and beyond the call of duty.
I have lived in Parker County for over 33 years and been a part of this community in many different ways, my past community involvement included being a Pythian Sister, PTA President, Weatherford Soccer Association Coach & Referee, to being on the Theatre Off The Square Executive Board, Crime Stoppers Executive Board and Freedom House Executive Board.
I am currently a member of Rotary Club of Weatherford, Noon Lions Club, Republican Woman and an Honorary member of the Busch Legacy Republican of Woman organization. Being a part of the community is important, it gives the citizens a chance to know me and for me to get to know them.
I am a strong believer that God put me on this earth to help; he has blessed me with a wonderful husband, great kids and an awesome career so that I can give back to those in their time of need.
I am a 20-year veteran with the Parker County Sheriff's Office and, in addition, my husband, John and I have been longtime small business owners. We enjoy starting businesses, getting them going and eventually selling them, which gives other people the opportunity to own small businesses.
Having been a small business owner, I have a unique insight into the challenges of owning and operating a small business. I am also business-orientated with management, supervising and budgeting skills. I understand how difficult it can be when you're owed money and need it to make payroll or pay the electric, this is where I can help get cases into the court and help get results faster.
Because "leadership means service." It is important for everyone to be treated equal, fair and with respect.
Doing a good job is not enough, I am a leader that steps up, gets involved and takes initiative. My goal is to make the whole judicial process work for all citizens, as well as for members of the law enforcement community. I possess a unique insight into the experiences of members of the business community, the law enforcement community and issues that impact parents. I am approachable and will listen to what the citizens have to say.
I have been at the Parker County Sheriff's Office since 1993. I started out in the jail and learned the arraignment process. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to work in many different roles like Advanced Crime Scene Investigator, Advanced Fingerprint Comparator, Family Violence Investigator, Property Crimes, Juvenile Investigator, Fugitive Unit, Narcotics Unit, Civil Processing, School Resource Officer, Sheriff's Mounted Patrol Unit and I am currently a Patrol Supervisor.
Ninety percent of the Parker County schools are in Precinct No. 3, which means a higher number of truancy cases will be heard in this court. I have experience working with juveniles in the schools, as a School Resource Officer and as a Juvenile Investigator. I believe that Juveniles should be held accountable for their own actions, and this is where the Teen Court could help. The teens are put in front of a jury of their own peers, instead of adults which makes their actions a learning process for everyone involved.
I have also been involved in organizing and starting programs like the Parker County Child Support Program, which allows the non-paying parents a final chance to begin paying before criminal charges are filed. I was also on the Freedom House Executive Board and assisted with creating R.E.A.C.T., which is a volunteer group that is trained to go to scenes and council citizens in their time of crisis.
I have experience writing arrest warrants as well as Affidavits for Search Warrants and know what to look for in them so that there is equality to everyone! I want to take a look at having more frequent court dates, so that your case can get in front of the court in an efficient and timely manner and so the citizens are not having to sit in a courtroom the entire day.
I also have experience with issues involving young people, their safety and their well-being since, besides my law enforcement background, my husband and I have four children together— one is currently serving as a Marine and is deployed in Afghanistan, plus we had custody of three additional kids and helped raised many nieces, nephews and cousins.
What inspired me to run for this particular office?
I feel our legal system needs to be based on the principle that an independent, fair and competent judiciary that will interpret and apply the laws that govern us. The role of the judiciary is central to our concepts of justice and the rule of law. Intrinsic to all sections of this Code of Judicial Conduct are the precepts that judges, individually and collectively, we must respect and honor the judicial office as a public trust and strive to enhance and maintain confidence in our legal system.
I know I can provide guidance to assist in establishing and maintaining high standards of judicial and personal conduct and will provide a service to the community as independent witness of statutory declarations, powers of attorney and affidavits. I respectfully ask for you to Vote Anne Hollis for Parker County Justice of the Peace Precinct #3!
"I have known Anne Hollis for a very long time. She will bring wisdom, experience, professionalism and compassion to the justice system," said small business owner Bob Tallman. "Her personal commitment of a model citizen, a mom and Texas leader makes her the best choice."
"I can't imagine anyone better qualified for this position than Anne Hollis. She offers the best law enforcement mixed with a healthy dose of compassion and strength," said Greenwood Baptist Church Pastor Brian Bond.
"The ambition and desire Anne has to help people will be beneficial to the Justice System. She is dedicated, involved, approachable and will work for the people," said Bob Nuttall – Karate Grandmaster.

"I have come away from that experience with valuable skills that have served me all my life. I have an incessant need to be accurate, organized, detailed and goal orientated. I worked hundreds of volunteer hours to help land a man on the moon; I will use the same work ethic as Justice of the Peace."

fate -- fiction
There was a dragon in the sky the night the stranger came to Smolsund farm. A girl named Ran saw it and feared it. She clutched the tiny silver hammer, a talisman for Thor's protection. Amma, her father's mother, had placed it around her neck. She knew that her grandmother was worried for her, too. The Fated Sky, by Henrietta Branford, tells of how Ran's fears for her destiny came to be realized.
A child still in some ways, Ran shared her name with a sea goddess, and she also loved the sea. Her father was away now across the ocean with her brothers, and they might bring back riches when they returned, for that was the way of the Vikings. Ran dreamed of the day her father would return. She was so much like him: his dark hair and his proud features. Ran prayed for his safe homecoming. She prayed he did not feast with that other Ran at the bottom of the ocean.
When the storm blew in at dawn, Ran climbed the slope to the house. She saw her mother, still a beautiful woman, kissing a handsome man who was not her father!
