Holland America Staterooms Ready at 11:30
by Paul Motter
This important premium boarding option is included in the cruise fare for everyone at one cruise line
A verandah stateroom on Holland America In light of the recent Carnival announcement for a premium boarding service to cruisers willing to pony up $49.95, I recalled an initiative put into action by Holland America last year to make all of its staterooms ready for occupancy by 11:30 a.m. to everyone onboard - at no additional cost.
Certainly enough, I had a chance to see if the guarantee was true during my recent Alaska cruise on the Oosterdam a few weeks ago, and I can testify that my stateroom was indeed ready and was occupied by me at 11:30 a.m. - just about the time we boarded the ship.
This is actually a very significant accomplishment for which Holland America deserves a big "congratulations." It required a great deal of planning - as I learned when I interviewed Hart Sugarman, Deputy Director of Housekeeping Operations for Holland America, about the new program last year.

I am responding to an article that talks about an attorney who wants to stop dipnetting. My question is how mean spirited can a person get?
He represents commercial fishing interests, yet is calling for a closure of the kenai personal-use fishery under the guise of habitat protection? Most commercial guys I know respect the fact that Alaska residents want some fish to fill the freezer.
In 2007, 21,000 residents applied for a PU dipnet permit. Two thousand were from Kenai, 2,000 were from Soldotna, 2,000 were from Homer, yada, yada, yada ... . Not all of Anchorage was descending on your doormat. Please let me remind you that the consumptive user generated more than 600 million compared to 18 million from commercial fishing of salmon.
If you want to limit dipnetting, don't use the beaches as a tool to "save the dunes." Three weeks of dipnetting compared to six months of ice and storm damage to the beaches does not make a calamity. If you want to make an allocation grab, don't wrap yourself in trying to save the dunes.

|Think about Loose Coupling
Lets talk Mooseby EvanCarroll (Chaplain)
|on Jun 28, 2006 at 20:42 UTC ( #558143=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
EvanCarroll has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Has anyone done anything *really* cool with Moose? I've decided to try and make another ORM tailored more towards Postgres and schema loading. I've discussed my ideas with others; and I think they will never be implemented in DBIx::Class, nor do I want to learn DBIx::Class to implement them myself. Point being, I'm considering using Moose; but, really disenchanted by the lack of mention of it. I never heard of it before this week, and after having a look at it, I think it brings Perl one small step closer to ruby. Which is a good thing.
Has anyone done anything with Moose worth mentioning?
I see Moose fitting in pretty well to model a relationship between
columns => tables => schemas => dbs
Would you use Moose's type validation components? Or is there a better way to validate SQL datatypes, without really calling the DB?
So it seems now moose has a new class to remedy the problems mentioned. Moose::Policy, more information can be found at http://use.perl.org/~Stevan/journal/30604

It's likely that many American shooters have never heard of the Argentine firearms manufacturer Bersa, but I believe that is about to change. And with good reason.
Argentine firearms manufacturer Bersa is entering the North American concealed market with its BP 9 CC pistol, a polymer-framed lightweight semi-auto for off-duty or backup. We featured Bersa's BP 9 CC as our "Arsenal" review for April 2012. We included an exclusive photo in this gallery that didn't appear in print. Photos by Michael Hughes.
Despite the industry's attempt to transform shooting sports and self-defense into some kind of video game for the Generation Z folks, there was still plenty of serious hardware for law enforcement at this year's show.

If you know what you are carrying out with your hands when it comes to massages, then you are going to be very popular. You can give massages for all sorts of various motives. Maybe you know a person you love who has a negative back, and you would like to support them out. Preserve reading to learn much more.
One particular of the most important issues to take into account when you are giving your massage to someone is to make certain that the environment is up to par. Try to keep items comfy and use towels to soften the region that the person you are massaging will be lying on top of.
Make the most of your massage by drinking lots of water. Why? Due to the fact a great massage gets your circulation going, but water is necessary to flush toxins out of your physique. If you think you know anything at all, you will certainly wish to read about visit our site. Hydrating before your massage makes your blood less sluggish, producing it less complicated for the masseuse to rub excess lactic acid out of your muscle tissues. Staying hydrated right after aids your physique in processing and eliminating these toxins.
Regulate your breathing in the course of a massage. It is not uncommon to really feel apprehension or anxiety during a massage, especially if you are new to receiving them. Bear in mind that you are in a secure environment and dealing with a specialist. You will not be capable to loosen up if your breathing is not typical.
You can make massages even greater by employing some massaging oils. There are lots of different crucial oils to choose from. We learned about YouTube - izmir masöz arıyorum diyorsanız sitemize tıklayın by searching Yahoo. Select an oil with an enjoyable smell and you will discover that massages are even much more relaxing thanks to the smell of the crucial oils and the properties of the oil you chose.
If you need to have assist with tension or discomfort, you must get a massage from a expert. Asking a person you know to give you a massage can be helpful but maintain in mind that a trained professional will be able to use approach your buddy or relative does not know about.
If you can, tell the person who is going to receive a massage from you to shave a couple days prior to the massage. Shaving will make the skin smooth, especially when massaging with oil. This will

I lack.... FOCUS!!! I always try over and over to make these sig topics work but after a few days I always forget where I posted... so this time... I'm setthing this topic as my home page of my browser! >D
Basically recently I decided to make signatures... at first it was for fun because I'm not into making them. Then all of a sudden my guild wanted me to make them a few. I shrugged and said sure why not. But now I really want to get better at it! I don't want my guildmates to run around with bad sigs x.x They say they love it but I want to improve and make it so they're always happy.
Enough ranting here are the latest(as in basically the first LOL I'm pretty new at this) ones I've made.
This one I got from messing around... and I thought it kind of fit me but no one liked it haha.
That's all for now. :3

A data phase error is typically an indication of a bad cable. A bad block is usually an indication of a bad block on the hard drive. It is possible that bad blocks are being reported due to the cabling/protocol issue but not likely. One major side effect of a bad block error is that the drive may report old data for the contents of the block, leading to corruption. The VM fault is a software bug in the kernel, but it could be related to the cable/protocol errors. I will run some life-testing between two USB drives. Are these drives connected via UHCI or EHCI?

People expect home broadband 'to handle' useNews brought to you by Skint Tariffs, providers of cheap broadband deals.
Home broadband should be able to handle being used for everyday activities such as email and browsing, according to experts.
There is currently controversy revolving around plans to introduce next generation broadband to replace existing services.
However, UK Web Media is certain that cheap broadband should cope with its uses as it is.
Tom Newton from the company stated: "People still expect their broadband connection to be able to handle the bare minimum browsing, emailing, shopping, checking Facebook and Myspace and the occasional download.
Get Cheap Mobile Broadband Now
"If these expectations can't be met, then people are going to feel frustrated and ultimately short-changed by the service they're paying for."
Possible reasons cited by Mr Newton for possible slowdowns in broadband speeds include the weather in Britain, as well as the increased use and popularity of broadband.
Internet service providers are set to be monitored by telecoms watchdog Ofcom over the next six months to ensure that they are meeting the conditions of a new code that came into force last week.

Feb. 21, 2006, Woburn, MA: Lytron announced today the launch of its free web-based Units Converter and Equation Solver. The Units Converter allows engineers to convert from one unit of measure to another, simply by entering a value and its unit of measure and then clicking on the preferred unit. With the Equation Solver, engineers can select from one of six standard thermal equations and enter their preferred units for each variable. Lytron created these reference tools for engineers to save time in solving equations. The Units Converter and Equation Solver can be accessed here and used online or downloaded.
Conversion options in the Units Converter include all major units of measure for temperature, power, specific heat, density, flow rate, volume, length, pressure, area, thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and normalized thermal resistance. There are up to 20 conversion units for each category, and engineers can request that additional units be added. Results are calculated to three decimal places as an engineer enters in values. This feature ensures that engineers are always viewing accurate data, versus having to remember to click a solve button before viewing updated results. Engineers can also click a button to "Show Conversions for all Units", which will display all available conversions at once. The conversion factor is displayed for each calculation too.
From the Units Converter, engineers can navigate to the Equation Solver. The Equation Solver allows engineers to select from six equations, including mass flow (solving either for v dot or temperature out), Q/ITD, thermal resistance, and conduction heat flow. Engineers can solve for any variable in the equations, simply by entering the known variables and moving the solve button to the unknown variable. For example, with the conduction heat flow formula, an engineer can choose to solve for Q in kW, and enter one temperature in Celsius and one in Fahrenheit.
The convenience, flexibility, and ease of use of the Units Converter and Equation Solver tools allow engineers to save time with their calculations. These tools may be particularly helpful for OEM engineers who are taking the first steps in trying to determine the appropriate cooling technologies for their systems. The Units Converter and Equation Solver are also very helpful when engineers are working internationally, since engineers are likely to come across a variety of units, or when engineers are simply trying to work more efficiently. Both the Units Converter and Equation Solver are available for immediate use or download.
Lytron designs and manufactures high performance heat transfer systems and components. Its cooling products include recirculating chillers, compact and portable non-refrigerated cooling systems, cold plates, aluminum oil coolers, copper tube fin heat exchangers, stainless steel tube-fin heat exchangers, and compact brazed-plate heat exchangers. For more information, contact Lytron at (781) 933-7300 or visit www.Lytron.com.

Over the years, the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum has acquired the majority of its over 7,000 artifact collection through public donations. If you own an object that is part of McMinn County history and you would be interested in sharing it–not only at the present time, but for generations to come–the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum would like to hear from you. How do you donate anartifact to the Museum? First, call 423-745-0329, and make an appointment with the Mary Alton, Collections Manager. By making an appointment, you can be sure that the Museum staff will be able to take time to thoroughly examine your possible donation. If you can't bring your object(s) in, you can always bring a photograph. When you meet with the Curator, you will be asked to provide:
The Collections Manager will then take this information to the Staging Committee, which is governed under the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum Board of Trustees. The Staging Committee meets every second Tuesday of the month to accession items.
After examining the object, the committee will vote on accepting it, and the Collections Manager will notify you of the committee's decision. Because of the Museum's specific mission and limited resources, the Museum can accept only those artifacts that meet the above-listed criteria. If accepted, the object will be documented and inventoried in the Museum's computer database, then put on display or archived. Upon receipt, you will receive a letter of acknowledgment for your records because your donation is tax deductible according to current IRS regulations. The Museum staff is forbidden by federal law from providing any information on the value of any object donated or potentially donated to the Museum as the IRS considers such activity by a 501c(3) a conflict of interest, so you may want to find a qualified appraiser to examine your object before donation. Sometimes an artifact is not immediately put on display. As the collection grows significantly every year, we are unable to display every item in the collection at one time. The Living Heritage Museum's goal, however, is to change exhibits frequently, providing the opportunity for different artifacts to rotate in and out of displays. Our artifacts are enormously important in helping to bring history to life, and the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum welcomes your donation.

But in this particular neighborhood, now is not the time to do it. Police are looking for an armed robbery suspect who has struck repeatedly in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn.
In each case, the suspect approached a victim, simulated a firearm, demanded and received their personal property, and then fled on foot.
Investigators say he's responsible for 3 armed robberies, one of them near the corner of Greene Avenue and St James Place.
"I usually feel really, really safe. This is the first I've heard about armed robbery," one woman, who lives nearby, said.
She's planning on taking precautions with the suspect still out there.
Police are hoping someone recognizes him so they can make the arrest. He's in his 30's, about 5-9 to 6 feet tall, about 180 pounds and wearing a brown jacket, gray sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). You can also submit tips by logging onto Crime Stoppers' website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting tips to CRIMES (274637), then enter TIP577. All calls are strictly confidential.

Knowledge Level: Beginner
The reason the front wheel on a penny farthing bike is so large is that the pedals are directly linked to the wheel and so, every turn of the pedals, rotates the wheel once and it travels the distance of its circumference. If it was any smaller the rider's legs would have to spin ferociously fast to maintain a reasonable amount of speed.
Fortunately the principle of gearing means that you no longer have to risk life and limb on a penny farthing and variable gears mean that hilly terrain can be tackled with relative ease.
Ratios explained
Your pedals are attached by your cranks to your chainrings. Chainring sizes vary but a standard road set-up will typically have 53 teeth (53t) on the outer large chainring and 39 teeth (39t) on the smaller inner one. Compact gearing, with 50t on the outer and 34t on the inner, has become very popular for tackling hilly sportives and has largely superseded triple three chainring cranksets. The chainrings are connected by the chain to a cassette of sprockets on the hub of your rear wheel. Sizes and ranges will vary but with a typical sportive set-up the smallest sprocket will have 12 teeth and the largest will have 28 teeth.
So, if you are in your larger 50t chainring and your smallest 12t sprocket, what does this mean? This 50:12 gear ratio means that every turn of your pedals is multiplied by the gear to make your wheel rotate just over four times (50÷12=4.2), this is why bikes no longer have to have penny farthing sized wheels. This gear is your "biggest gear", it's the hardest to push but for each pedal rotation it'll give you the greatest distance. When you hit a hill, you'll need to shift down to a lower or easier gear.
On really steep slopes or if your legs are really tired, you might be in your lowest gear. This would be the smaller 34t chainring and the largest 28t sprocket. This 34:28 ratio would give you just over one rotation of your wheel for every pedal stroke (34÷28=1.2) and will hopefully get you up that tough hill.
On mountain bikes, where you might be tackling super steep terrain with a loose or slippery surface, the gearing is even lower. You'll often have a 22t "Granny" chainring and up to a 36t rear sprocket. Rather than multiplying your pedal stroke, this tiny gear minimises it. The 22:36 ratio means that every pedal stroke only translates to just over half a rotation of your wheel (22÷36=0.61).
Variable gearing
Until 1937, Tour de France riders had to tackle the mountain cols without variable gears. They had two or three sprockets on their rear wheel but "changing gear" would involve stopping, dismounting the bike, loosening the wingnuts, sliding the rear wheel in the frame dropout to release the chain tension, placing the chain on the new cog, repositioning the rear wheel to gain proper chain tension and remembering to retighten the wingnuts before remounting.
Fortunately after 1937, derailleurs were allowed and riders were able to change gears while riding. You now have a front derailleur that shifts the chain between the two or three chainrings at the front and a rear derailleur that shifts the chain between the 9, 10 or even 11 sprockets at the rear, giving a massive range of gears and making riding those mountain roads a whole lot easier.
Indexed shifters
Up until the early 1990's, gear shift levers were normally sited on the downtube of the bike and relied on friction, a fair amount of rider skill and feel to select the appropriate gear. Now though shifters are incorporated into the brake hoods and use a ratchet mechanism that controls cable tension and means that one click shifts one gear. This is known as indexed shifting and, as long as the gears are correctly set-up, means simple, reliable and hassle free gear shifts.
The latest evolution in gear shifting involves using tiny electric motors to shift the derailleurs. This totally eliminates problems such as poor shifting due to cable stretch and gives lighting quick and crisp shifts. It's still prohibitively expensive for most riders though and only generally found on top-end bikes. However manufacturers are already starting to produce second tier electronic groupsets and in the future it will become more affordable and commonplace.

GMA Network Inc. (GMA)
On the third anniversary of Typhoon Ondoy, some 200 volunteers converged last September 25 in Barangay Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City, to participate in Clean Up the World (CUW) 2012, reports GMA News. Australian Embassies around the world annually organize volunteer activities in support of Clean Up the World campaign, which has since grown to become a successful worldwide campaign supported by the United Nations Environment Programme and by the Australian Government. Volunteers from Australian organizations and the Australian Embassy partnered with the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and the local government and residents of Pinagbuhatan, one among the communities identified as most vulnerable to flooding and other climate impacts.
GMA News further mentions that Australia is deepening its commitment to disaster risk management in the Philippines through a new program, called BRACE (Building the Resilience and Awareness of Metro Manila Communities to Natural Disasters and Climate Change Impacts). "Our support to Clean Up the World complements what we aim to do through AusAID's BRACE program – to support Filipinos to take action in their local communities to protect and preserve their environment to help reduce vulnerabilities to natural disasters," says Ambassador Tweddell.

Fernando Torres: Chelsea Striker's FA Cup Brace Could Start Scoring SpreeMarch 19, 2012
Chelsea's much-maligned £50 million striker Fernando Torres could start a goalscoring spree and become worth his fee within the next season, following his brace against Leicester City in the FA Cup quarterfinal at Stamford Bridge, which the Blues won 5-2.
The 27-year-old World Cup-winning Spain international has infamously gone 23 matches without a goal for the Blues, in a time spanning 25 hours and 41 minutes worth of football on the pitch, plus over an hour's worth of stoppage time.
However, his goals against Leicester may make such a drought a thing of the past for the player who scored 65 Premier League goals in 102 games for Liverpool before his blockbuster, January transfer deadline day move down south.
Of course, critics will say Torres' goals were against a lesser opponent from the Championship (England's second-tier), and that better marking should have been applied for both efforts.
Whilst it's true the opposition wasn't the toughest Chelsea have or will ever face, the match was nonetheless an FA Cup quarterfinal.
Leicester were clearly fired up for this game, and themselves have a quality team which could cope in the Premier League.
The effort and work rate they put in at Chelsea is something the Blues would have faced in any important match, regardless of the opponent.
The West London club would've faced easier opposition than Leicester in Premier League matches, put it that way.
So the team, along with manager Roberto di Matteo, does deserve credit, as does Torres for his double—a brace in a cup quarterfinal is definitely a lot tougher to achieve than one in the league against Wigan Athletic or Wolverhampton Wanderers, for example.
As for the goals themselves, Torres' first was indeed fortuitous, with his scuffed shot inside the penalty area very saveable.
But his second was a classic Torres goal from his successful Liverpool and Atletico Madrid days.
The striker attacked the ball at the near post, running forward in-front of his two markers to meet Raul Meireles' corner, before pinpointing a header into the net past the near corner of the goal.
It was a textbook goal all young striker hopefuls trying to make it in the game have to do to impress coaches.
His movement, positioning, technique, power and accuracy were all perfect, as he netted a goal only true forwards can score.
And for a player like Torres, who has proven in the past he has the capability to be one of the world's best, to score such a perfect striker's goal having stuck to the textbook will boost his self-confidence tenfold.
When a striker is low on confidence, it's obvious the goals don't come flooding in.
But as soon as he gets that break and scores, the confidence returns, the striker's instincts turn back on and the bloodthirsty hunt for goals intensifies.
The most notable difference between on-form Torres and off-form Torres is the qualities listed above for his second goal against Leicester.
After he scored against Manchester United back in September, the Spaniard scored in the next match against Swansea City, before getting a brace (and man of the match award) against KRC Genk in the UEFA Champions League a few weeks later.
When his confidence arrived after scoring at Old Trafford, in the next few matches, Torres was attacking crosses, striving to get in front of man-markers and hitting shots with power and pinpoint accuracy.
It allowed him to score more goals. But as soon as the goals dried up, those qualities become absent for large parts of his scoring drought.
Off-form Torres waited on the edge of the penalty area for the perfect chance, instead of attacking the ball and/or trying to evade markers inside the box.
Of course, the perfect chance rarely came, and most times Torres did get a sniff on goal, the nervousness and intense thought crept in, as the Spaniard viewed chances more as an opportunity to get everyone off his back rather than a chance to score a goal.
But now he has that burden off his back, on-form Torres will no doubt return again—because after all, it happens with every player at every level of the game. As soon as one ends a bad patch of form, the self-efficacy returns.
And this time, it could start a big goalscoring spree.
Back in September, Torres ruined his form by getting sent off after scoring against Swansea City, which halted his form as he sat out the next three games.
The Spaniard will undoubtedly do better this time round if he doesn't get sent off anytime soon.
Chelsea's next few games are against Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, SL Benfica and Aston Villa.
Instead of being a goalscoring dead-end, such high level opposition gives Fernando Torres exactly the type of platform he needs to build on his recent goals and prove his worth once again.
If he comes through those games with a good run of form, the sky will be the limit for the Spaniard.
And don't rule it out, because it must be remembered that this is a player who didn't cost £50 million for nothing—he proved for eight seasons before his Chelsea transfer that he is a world-class striker.
As the cliché saying goes, form is temporary, class is permanent.
Given that this is a player with undoubted class, who now has the form to match, El Niño—entering the athletic peak of his career—has the potential to recreate his former glory days, and in time start a scoring spree worthy of that £50 million fee.

Oxnard, a mid-sized California city with a heavy influx of immigrants, sees kids as young as nine join gangs. But for the past decade one nonprofit there has waged a wide-ranging war against urban decay. City Impact, founded by Betty Alvarez Ham, works with misbehaving school kids, with juveniles on probation and in jail, with struggling families, neighborhood clergy and churches, and businesses. It conducts this work at an impressive scale, boasts real results in changed lives, and deftly brings together Oxnard's sacred and secular institutions.
The story begins with Ham walking onto a public school campus, asking the principal at Ventura High School who the "pain in the ass kids" were, and then suggesting he let her meet with them weekly for group rap sessions. Ham herself had grown up in east L.A. and knew the realities many urban Latino kids face: poverty, drugs, violence, parents in and out of jail. Skeptical, but willing to try anything, the principal agreed. Thus was borne the first "Latina Leadership Group" in 1992.
Within six weeks, the participating girls' behavior began changing; school attendance and grades shot up. Impressed, school officials gave Ham permission to continue. She did so, earning the kids' trust and challenging their attitudes. Slowly, she integrated them into additional off-school activities her nascent ministry was offering to at-risk youth-mentoring, Bible studies, field trips. In a high school where girls from their backgrounds often dropped out pregnant or struggling with drugs, all eight graduated.
Hazel Gonzalez was part of a second wave of City Impact support groups for middle-schoolers. A member of two gangs, she was known for shooting off her mouth-and headed toward a future of shooting off guns. "I was always rebelling because I was mad at the world," Gonzalez explains. She too eventually exited gang life, improved her grades, and graduated. Today, she is a sophomore on a full academic scholarship at California Lutheran University, studying pharmacology.
Now some 60 City Impact groups operate on 38 public school campuses, and over 450 students receive the same life skills training and mentoring weekly that turned Gonzalez's life around. In all, City Impact programs assist over 500 struggling families every week. That scale alone makes the group a standout among faith-based nonprofits. Add to it City Impact's impressive results and the strategic niche it has carved out as a connector of the sacred and the secular, and it's no wonder both public and private funders have invested heavily. Charitable institutions like the Amgen Foundation, the Wood-Claeyssens Foundation, and the Weingart Foundation have helped increase City Impact's annual budget in ten years from $65,000 to over $2 million. As Shelby Hughes of Wood-Claeyssens puts it, "dollar for dollar, we get a good return on that investment."
Connecting with Hard-to-Reach Youth
City Impact transforms tough kids other organizations haven't reached. It focuses on kids who leave teachers, probation officers, and counselors with migraines. School administrators evaluate students in City Impact groups at the end of each term. According to recent statistics, 76 percent of participants improve in school attendance within a semester; 86 percent improve academic performance, with most kids increasing one to two letter grades.
Shelby Hughes has seen firsthand the peer learning that happens in City Impact groups. Hughes recalls a site visit she conducted when City Impact applied for funding. Betty Ham took her to a rap session at Oxnard High. "I'm not a prude," Hughes emphasizes, "but my mouth would just come open listening to these kids talk." The problems they faced-like coming home to a mom strung out on drugs-were heart-wrenching. But, she says, some kids find constructive ways of coping. In the groups, they pass those tips along to their friends. One youth said he used to hang out on the streets when his mom was high, but then he'd started shooting pool in a rec-room of a church affiliated with City Impact and had convinced another kid to do that. This kind of kid-to-kid sharing, Hughes says, "really makes a difference. It's not some [adult] standing up there telling them what they can and can't do."
City Impact has also provided scores of mentors for juveniles on probation. Steve Dean, a Ventura County probation officer, says the majority of kids with City Impact mentors fare better than kids without, and school statistics concur: 87 percent of City Impact students are no longer on probation.
Dean also sees City Impact make a difference with hard core kids in prison. At Colston Youth Center, he explains, "we're dealing with a population that is very resistive, very defiant at times, and the one thing that they can't stand is authority. So you have to have a specialized person who can work with these types of kids, who can come in, communicate, and show these kids that they can relate to them, so that the kids start to listen." Nancy Pierce, division manager at Colston, says City Impact is better than other agencies at finding these tailor-made staff who make these connections and actually turn kids' lives around. As one donor to City Impact raves: "What's really great about City Impact is that the recidivism of kids going back to where they were before is very, very small. What they get here, they keep."
City Impact's effectiveness has won them the trust of prison officials, opening doors for creative programs to serve troubled kids. Nancy Pierce recalls a conversation she held with Ham in 2001 about Colston's serious overcrowding problem. Pierce hoped to figure out a plan for enhancing the Center's "electronic monitoring program." Under it, juveniles are released from locked-down facilities with ankle bracelets that allow authorities to keep track of them. "I called Betty, and within a half-hour conversation, she outlined a program that has been working successfully since," Pierce chuckles. City Impact's Community Resource Liaison Program provides staff who work with released youths at home and school. The liaisons serve as advocates for the kids in court hearings, provide supportive services such as crisis intervention and family counseling for parents, and get the kids enmeshed in City Impact's array of youth services-mentoring, small groups, recreational and sports programs. The result? Less crowding in the juvenile hall because the kids in this initiative are succeeding, instead of returning to prison. Without this program, Pierce stresses, "we would not feel comfortable releasing these children home."
Results like these have led Wood-Claeyssens' Hughes to consider City Impact a "superior performer." It receives grants twice the size of the foundation's average and has been funded six years in a row. City Impact's impressive outcomes also persuaded Gene Mahn, the former head of the Million Dollar Roundtable Foundation, to nominate City Impact for funding-twice. Mahn is so enthusiastic he has served on City Impact's board since 1999 and helped secure not only the Million Dollar Roundtable Foundation grants but also gifts exceeding $50,000 from the Carolan Foundation, a local family foundation with whom he's pursuing another grant this fall.
A Donor Goes to Camp
Mahn, a financial advisor by trade, is no ordinary donor. He's gotten up close and personal with the kids. Two summers ago, he spent a long weekend with urban youth at one of City Impact's camps. "I'd never been exposed to kids 'on the edge,'" Mahn explains. "I wanted to see just what these kids were facing, in real life situations. And I also wanted to see how this camp would benefit them."
So he stayed in a cabin with several teens and a counselor. "Lots of these kids were wannabe gang members, and the stuff they did reflected that-the stuff that they wore, the dances that they did," Mahn recalls. Though he was "really a duck out of water," he's glad he went and would go again. Counselors led the youth in outdoor activities during the day, then held evening rap sessions on "nitty gritty stuff": sex, family affairs, having a relationship with Jesus. Mahn was especially impressed with the counselors-many had had upbringings similar to those faced by the campers, had survived, and could relate well. "They were able to speak to the situations succinctly, and I thought that was great-very helpful."
Mahn tells potential donors that investment in City Impact's work is "absolutely" worthwhile. "You see kids on the edge; they could fall over either side of the fence. What City Impact does is salvage kids; it helps kids find the right path."
With President Bush's high profile "faith-based initiative," church-state collaboration is increasingly on civic leaders' agenda. But it was a novel idea in 1992, when Betty Ham first showed up at Ventura High. Cheryl Meyers, who has been a school counselor for 18 years, recalls that she "just couldn't believe that somebody was coming on campus asking if they could help, because usually that doesn't happen from the community."
City Impact staff and volunteers are drawn from Oxnard's racially diverse Christian community. Betty Alvarez Ham has succeeded in unleashing the "armies of compassion" from the churches in the fight against gangs, drugs, teen pregnancy, racism, and delinquency. But the robust partnership between City Impact and local churches arose in large part through the influence of a key donor named Danny Villanueva.
Connecting Congregations to Their Communities
About six years ago, Ham met with Villanueva, who had been a nominal financial supporter for a few years, and asked for a major gift to underwrite construction of a new building for City Impact. Villanueva balked, arguing the facilities would "saddle Betty, not liberate her." Instead, he suggested, why not ask local churches to serve as host sites for City Impact's programs? Many programs occur after school on week days, when church buildings are underused. And, Villanueva added, the churches could become sources of volunteers.
"So we sat down and hashed out all the possibilities, and as a result, Betty called a summit," Villanueva says. "She invited every church in Ventura County, and over 60 churches showed up." Now, he reports, most of those provide volunteers for City Impact and several have donated the use of their facilities. "I think it's brought energy to City Impact," Villanueva sums up. "It's not just an issue of funds. It's an issue of hands and feet delivering services."
City Impact's engagement with local congregations has multiplied further as a result of funding opportunities for community outreach centers made possible through California's Proposition 10 funds (the state's windfall from tobacco settlements), which are overseen by the Families First Coalition. Claudia Harrison, the agency's executive director, reports that City Impact has been "an important bridge" between Families First and congregations located in distressed neighborhoods of Oxnard. City Impact has helped the churches launch "Family Resource Centers" funded in part by Prop. 10 dollars. The result: more neighborhood-based services for families who might otherwise fall through the cracks.
Cecilia, a 32-year-old Latina mother of three, walks to the "Even Start" program at Victory Outreach Church's Family Resource Center. Her children participate in group play and skill-building activities while Cecilia learns English, bolsters her parenting skills, and practices for her driver's license test. She says the program has increased both her self-esteem and the time she spends reading to her children.
Victory Outreach launched its Family Resource Center with help from City Impact's Jim Gilmer. Gilmer attended the meeting where donor Danny Villanueva urged more engagement with the churches. Now he's in charge of building partnerships with churches for effective neighborhood ministry. Gilmer finds many pastors want to be involved in "faith-based initiatives," but lack the technical capacity. He invests much time with pastors like Victory Outreach's Fernando Franco, helping them obtain the skills needed to develop programs that meet neighborhood needs.
Other clergy also need motivation and challenge. Take, for example, Pastor Tim Fearer of Westminster Presbyterian. The church is a predominantly Anglo, older congregation, sitting in the midst of a demographic revolution. "We didn't really know about our neighborhood, and we didn't know because we didn't want to know," Fearer tells me candidly. Betty Ham came and began educating the congregation and offering suggestions. "The things she said were just a revelation to us. They weren't necessarily received with open arms and acted on immediately," Fearer continues. "It took a while for the realities to sink in. It's been a journey."
As part of that journey, Westminster has hired new ethnic staff "to send a loud and clear message" to the neighborhood. It has also launched a Family Resource Center. Three elders began meeting regularly with City Impact's Jim Gilmer to discuss how they could deliver social services but not compromise their Christian witness. One comments, "City Impact came alongside us as educator and trainer," and Gilmer helped with grant writing, networking, voicing their faith-based concerns to the government partner, and interpreting contracts.
Last December, I spoke with Westminster Family Resource Center coordinator Velma Villa. Over the preceding three months, the Center had engaged nearly 90 families in literacy workshops, hosted a variety of Parent Education seminars, taught dental hygiene classes, and distributed food to needy families. Such efforts, Fearer says, have "helped us to become a church serving the neighborhood, and our neighbors are getting to know us. City Impact has helped expand the imagination of the congregation," he adds, and helped the church "look at our neighborhood through different glasses."
Connecting Businesses to Neighborhoods
In addition to connecting congregations to government funding, City Impact has also helped the faith community build relationships with the business community. A board member learned of Pacific Vehicle Processors' expansion plans for a new local facility in south Oxnard-which would offer factory jobs at $15/hour plus benefits. So City Impact leaders brought ethnic pastors to meet corporate leaders, who were eager for their support. "These pastors got excited about the jobs for their congregants," Gilmer explains. He took clergy to City Council meetings to voice their enthusiasm for the corporate expansion. "It was the first time in our area when a mega-corporation entertained the faith community," Gilmer notes. He has since helped 30-plus ethnic pastors start a new group, called Christian Leaders for Community Action, to focus on economic development issues. "Now we're being called on all different fronts by other corporations," he reports.
Meeting so many pastors convinced City Impact to emphasize practical training for clergy. Five years ago, City Impact launched the Inter-Denominational Training Institute to do just that. The Institute provides both accredited theological education and practical training emphasizing community outreach. Most students are bi-vocational Hispanic pastors. Some, like Edgar Mohorko, go on to further academic training. But Mohorko hasn't lost the vision for community impact instilled by the Institute. Now he pastors a congregation of over 300 members, serves as a chaplain for the Oxnard Police Department, and has launched Messiah House, a rehabilitation center for Latino men trying to get clean and sober.
Danny Villanueva isn't surprised how far Betty Ham has run with his challenge to mobilize the churches. That appreciation has made him a generous repeat giver and advocate. This summer he hosted a reception for City Impact with the goal of raising at least $50,000. "The reason we remain involved with and keep helping Betty," Villanueva says, "is that I appreciate her adeptness. She is able to access everything from state funds to facilities to volunteers and just squeeze everything out of it that she can. I don't know of many organizations that are more efficient in this way. That's the reason also why, when people call me regarding community development, I always refer people there. It's one of the better models we've got," he concludes, "and that's why I continue to help them."

Until lockout ends, top prospect Granlund bides time with Aeros
Updated 9:18 pm, Wednesday, October 3, 2012
At best, the NHL season will be postponed. At worst, the league could lose another season as team owners and the union sort out who gets the bigger piece of the revenue pie.
Caught in the middle is Aeros center Mikael Granlund.
The 20-year-old was a lock to make the Minnesota Wild roster this season after being drafted in the first round two years ago. But he and other top NHL prospects have entry-level contracts that allow them to move between the NHL and AHL without waivers.
So until the lockout is resolved, the chartered flights and hefty paychecks of the NHL will take a backseat to the AHL's busses and modest salaries.
Starred in Finland
Granlund admitted he would prefer to be at Wild training camp, getting closer to his NHL ambitions, rather than Aeros camp, which resumed Tuesday in Sugar Land after opening in Minnesota last Friday.
"But that's how it goes for now," he said. "I just need to be ready for games and do all I can down here. It's been a dream since I was a kid to play here in North America, maybe someday the NHL. Now I'm here and just waiting for games."
Granlund's debut is so highly anticipated on the NHL side, his jerseys and T-shirts were the No. 3 sellers for the Wild this past summer.
Famed in song
All that excitement is courtesy of a unique résumé for such a young player. Not only did Granlund help Team Finland win the 2011 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, there's even a song written about his championship-winning goal.
A testament to Granlund's acclaim in Finland, "Tavias varjele!" ("Good Heavens!") climbed to No. 2 on the Finnish singles chart last summer and was tops in downloads across all of Finland that same week.
Furthermore, Granlund, who at 5-10 verges on undersized by pro hockey standards, has been playing against men in Finland's top pro hockey league for the past three seasons. He averaged more than a point per game last season.
The North American debut of Granlund, praised for his poise and vision on the ice by Aeros coach John Torchetti, isn't without its challenges, namely the smaller ice surface than typically found in European arenas.
"That's maybe the biggest thing," Granlund said. "You don't have that much time and space on the ice. Still, it's the same game."
For the bulk of training camp, Granlund has been on a line with fellow top prospects Charlie Coyle and Jason Zucker, neither of whom would be out of place on an NHL roster.
And the Aeros aren't alone in their riches. The division rival Oklahoma City Barons also get the benefit of several high draft picks from the Edmonton Oilers.
"It's probably going to be the best hockey in a lot of years in the American League," said Torchetti. "I'm on my 29th year coaching, and this is the strongest I've seen this league."
Aeros training camp continues through Oct. 11 at Sugar Land Ice & Sports Center, with preseason games in Oklahoma Cityon Friday and Saturday.
The Aeros begin the regular season on Oct. 13, at Toyota Center against the Charlotte Checkers.

The Parliament of Finland on Wednesday
began debating a bill which would legalize gay marriage in the Nordic
country, EFE reported.
Since 2002, Finland has recognized gay
and lesbian couples with registered partnerships.
The legislation would allow gay couples
to enter a civil marriage, take the surname of the other spouse and
adopt a partner's children without biological links.
Seventy-six of the 200 members of
parliament have so far signed on to the proposed law.
Two parties, the ultra-nationalist True
Finns and the Christian Democrats, which is led by Interior Minister
Paivi Rasanen, have rejected the plan outright.
Political groups may propose amendments
to the bill after it returns from processing in the Legal Affairs
According to an August 2010 poll, a
majority of Finns (54%) support marriage equality, while 35 percent
are opposed.
The Christian newspaper Kotimaa
in 2010 reported that a narrow majority (54%) of Finnish MPs are
opposed to the legalization of gay marriage.
If approved, Finland would become the
11th country to approve such unions, behind Argentina,
Belgium, Canada, Spain, Holland, Iceland, Norway, Portugal, South
Africa and Sweden.
and Denmark
are also debating the issue.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT-Shingles
Public Service Announcement
Shingles causes a painful, blistering skin rash. Almost 1 out of 3 people in the United States will develop shingles during their lifetime. Nearly 1 million Americans experience the condition each year. Your risk of shingles increases as you get older. Shingles vaccine protects against this painful disease. About half of all shingles cases occur in people age 60 years or older.
Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays dormant (inactive) in the body. For reasons that are not fully known, the virus can reactivate years later and cause shingles.
Kings County Public Health officials encourage adults age 50 and older to receive a shingles shot. The vaccine is available by in doctor's offices, pharmacies, and at the health department. Vaccination is the only way to reduce your risk of shingles. The shingles vaccine is covered by many types of insurance.
The Centers for Disease and Prevention (CDC) website has information regarding people who should not get shingles vaccine at https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/shingles/public/index.html.
Even if you have had shingles, you can still receive shingles vaccine to help prevent future occurrences of the disease.
The Health Department is committed to keeping the people of Kings County protected from vaccine-preventable diseases. Please call the Health Department at (559) 584-1401 if you have any questions.

Again it does what I need it to do. Nice snug fir so no falling out while running. full view

|Arkon Sports Armband for Galaxy Nexus
User: Wes W, May 9, 2012
|I havent been running long, but wanted something to track my time, distance, etc. Being the everloving Android fanboy that I am, I decided to use an app. It works great, but running with a phone in your pocket isnt fun, and using a clip on holster on your shorts does feel great either. So, I decided to get an armband. Its hard to find something that is big enough to hold the GNex, but this one fits it nicely. It will hold something even slightly bigger, but not by much. It fits securely on the arm, the film protects the screen, but will allow you to use the touchscreen quite easily. My only complaint isnt with the armband, but running with the GNex on your arm feels a little awkward, but after you get used to it, no problems. Great armband, and now Im able to track my distance/time/stream tunes from Google Play without worrying about damaging my GNex.
|Best Armband I have owned
User: Casey N, Jan 26, 2013
|This armband is by far the best armband i have owned. It is definitely worth the few extra bucks compared to some of the cheaper alternatives. The only negative about the armband is that it is very difficult to operate the volume rocker buttons while the phone is worn on your arm at the gym.

The Sketh'lon Wreckage, just to the east, is an eerie place. The peons are convinced that it's cursed.
There are few trees here, so the peons have no choice but to venture into the arakkoa ruins to chop wood. The arakkoa spirits prey on the work groups, draining their life and using it to fuel their foul magics.
We must find out what is driving the dark conclave and stop them before their influence expands. Search the Sketh'lon Wreckage for evidence of their plans.

Real Madrid: How Will They Line Up Against Celta Vigo at Balaidos?May 9, 2014
If dropping off the pace in the title race wasn't bad enough for Real Madrid, they're trying to nurse a string of players back to fitness with the Champions League final in Lisbon against Atletico Madrid at the end of the month in mind.
Jese Rodriguez and Alvaro Arbeloa remain the only two players almost definitely out of that match, while the rest of Madrid's walking wounded face a race against time to prove to Carlo Ancelotti that they should be considered for the club's first European Cup final since 2002.
In the meantime, a patched-up Madrid side will head to Celta Vigo on Sunday evening knowing that even a win won't guarantee they'll still be fighting for the championship come "jornada 38" (the last day of the season).
One man definitely out of the match at Balaidos is Pepe.
Spanish publication Marca have reported that the Portuguese defender will be out for two weeks, having obtained a "grade one tear in his left calf muscle,"= making him a serious doubt for Lisbon.
That would normally pave the way for Raphael Varane to partner Sergio Ramos in the middle of Madrid's back four this weekend, but the young Frenchman is currently struggling with "knee inflammation" and may not be risked in Vigo either.
If that is the case, Nacho Fernandez could move into the middle of defence.
With Arbeloa's extended lay-off and Dani Carvajal missing the draw with Real Valladolid on Wednesday night, there are question marks over who will play at right-back as well.
Carvajal began training again during the latter stages of this week, although if he's not deemed fit enough, Fabio Coentrao or Marcelo could switch from the left and slot in on the right of Ancelotti's back four.
Diego Lopez will return in goal for what looks set to be his final appearance of the season—Iker Casillas will play against Espanyol and Atletico, per The National.
In midfield Sami Khedira is edging closer to a return, but he is more likely to be involved off the bench rather than as a direct starter in Vigo.
And with injuries elsewhere, Ancelotti is likely to look to play it safe in midfield, meaning Luka Modric and Xabi Alonso should start, with Asier Illarramendi the most likely to join them in the middle of the park.
Normally it would be Angel Di Maria, but Marca have confirmed he definitely won't play this weekend—he could return against Espanyol, though.
The injury crisis rolls into the forward line too.
Gareth Bale wasn't involved in the squad that travelled to Valladolid, while Cristiano Ronaldo was forced off with muscle fatigue after just eight minutes.
One of the two could feature on Sunday evening, though; Bale is the most likely, with Ronaldo perhaps due a rest.
The other two members of that front three may be Karim Benzema and Isco.
Benzema has gone seven league matches without a goal—since his double against Barcelona in March's Clasico—and he will be desperate to end that drought.
Meanwhile Isco has been a more common option in midfield of late, but given Madrid's short shrift with injuries he could find himself shunted back into the forward line.
Alvaro Morata remains the other option.
Predicted Real Madrid XI: Diego Lopez; Dani Carvajal, Nacho Fernandez, Sergio Ramos, Fabio Coentrao; Xabi Alonso, Asier Illarramendi, Luka Modric; Gareth Bale, Isco, Karim Benzema

Distribution approach adopted to provide enhanced support and service to partners, increase market share and enable partners to win more business.
Siemens Enterprise Communications is migrating to a pure distribution model having previously had both a one- and two-tier approach. The move will allow Siemens to focus on delivering partner support through sales, marketing and support activities, which in turn will allow accredited partners to maximise the value of sales opportunities to their customers.
Since the highly successful launch of our Go Forward! partner programme, we have been monitoring market developments, particularly in relation to our evolving product portfolio, and also analysed feedback from our partner satisfaction survey. The main challenge, according to the survey, was to provide our partners with a satisfactory logistics and supply process that in turn would help them drive new business. The shift to a pure distribution model will enable us to focus on providing exactly this, said Leon Mangan (pictured), sales director, Indirect Channel, Siemens Enterprise Communications.
From a market perspective, distribution organisations have significantly developed their offerings and capabilities over the last few years. They are no longer box-shifters but solution providers, and now offer the range of value added services that our channel partners demand. Furthermore, when aligned with slick logistics performance they are best positioned to serve the reseller community. This will also allow us to continue developing and marketing award-winning products while driving market awareness of new application areas, such as Unified Communications and Fixed Mobile Convenience.
With the Siemens product portfolio already boasting solutions specifically designed for the channel, such as HiPath OpenOffice ME, and coupled with increased support, partners will be in a stronger position to serve the needs of the ever demanding end user. HiPath OpenOffice ME is the first Unified Communications solution developed purposefully for the channel. Its productivity and collaboration features, such as intuitive presence-aware management and drag-and-drop conferencing, provide SMEs with the tools to optimise both internal and external communications.
Go Forward! focuses on delivering expert support and service to partners, allowing them to fully maximise the breadth of Siemens award-winning product portfolio, as well as utilising its training programme. With the emphasis being on retaining and attracting partners that are committed to solutions-led sales to end users, Siemens will ensure that partners can differentiate themselves by delivering open communications products and applications that reduce costs and increase organisational efficiency and productivity.
Adopting a pure distribution approach demonstrates our confidence in our product portfolio and the Go Forward! partner programme itself. We recognise the value our distribution partners bring in providing a complete range of services that satisfy the needs of the market, concluded Mangan.
Dave Dyer, Channel Marketing Director at Siemens, commented: Adopting a purely distribution model is a really positive step for Siemens and our partners. In the past we have operated a mixed one and two tier model, and this made it difficult to focus on adding value to our partners in the right areas - such as in raising market awareness with the end user communities we all serve. Now we will be able to focus on doing what we do best - delivering market leading Unified Communications and Mobility Solutions whilst utilising the fully developed value add services which distribution organisations are best positioned to provide. It is a win for Siemens, a win for the Reseller or VAR and a win for our Distribution partners - we will all be able to drive for market growth in the months ahead.
About Siemens Enterprise Communications
Siemens Enterprise Communications is one of the worlds leading vendors of Open Communications solutions for enterprises of all sizes, enabling business processes to be more productive, faster and more secure with any device, network or information technology infrastructure. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens AG with 15,000 employees globally and headquarters in Munich.
