December 06, 2007
LOS ANGELES -- In its fourth quarterly report of 2007, the UCLA Anderson Forecast holds steadfast to the basic tenet of a forecast they have been making throughout the year, that the national economy is not technically in a recession, nor is there a national recession on the economic horizon. Though the economy is experiencing difficulty rooted in the problematic real estate sector, as well as the result of such things as higher oil prices and a troublesome rate of consumer debt, the UCLA Anderson Forecast does not see the possibility of enough job loss to trigger an actual recession. The UCLA Anderson Forecast Economists will present their quarterly economic update to Forecast members in a conference to be held this afternoon.
In California, the central theme of the forecast remains the same as it has been in the past few quarters and mirrors that of the national forecast: weakness in the vast real estate sector will be the central component of a sluggish economy, but there will not be enough job loss to trigger a state-wide recession.
The National Forecast
In his national report, UCLA Anderson Forecast Director Edward Leamer makes a simple but compelling case for the Forecast continuing recession stance. While acknowledging the considerable turmoil in the real estate sector, Leamer emphatically argues that without significant job loss and an accompanying rise in unemployment, the economy will not enter into a recession.
Manufacturing is the economic sector to look at when searching for potential job loss. But, somewhat ironically, the manufacturing sector has never recovered the jobs it lost from the last recession and, as a result, doesn't have enough jobs to lose. Leamer acknowledges that this is a historically unique set of circumstances, as manufacturing has traditionally added jobs during an expansion. There will be job loss in the construction sector, as well as real estate-related financial services, but not nearly enough to trigger a recession. As part of his no recession forecast, Edward Leamer also notes that if declines in housing were going to trigger a recession, they would have done so already. Recessions have traditionally trailed a housing peak by no more than a year; at this point, the business cycle is trailing the housing cycle by seven quarters without a recession.
The California Forecast
In California, UCLA Anderson Forecast Economists Ryan Ratcliff and Jerry Nickelsburg foresee a slightly slower and prolonged period of sluggishness for the state's economy, but no recession in California.
They expect unemployment to peak at 6.1 percent in late 2008, while non-farm payroll growth remains below 1 percent through the end of next year. Real growth in Gross State Product and Personal Income is expected to be in the 1-2 percent range over the same period. Adding to the less-than-favorable forecast, they expect contraction in state and local government will derail the momentum of a private sector beginning to recover in 2009.
The Writers Strike
UCLA Anderson Forecast has also issued a report on the economic impact of the current WGA strike, which contains results that differ from widely published estimates. The report, written by Economist Jerry Nickelsburg, concludes that, even if the strike were to last through the end of March, the economic impact on the Los Angeles economy would be about $380 million rather than the prevailing estimate of $1 billion. The report, released last week, is included in the full forecast report. Click here to view the report on the impact of the writer's strike (PDF).
About UCLA Anderson Forecast
UCLA Anderson Forecast is one of the most widely watched and often-cited economic outlooks for California and the nation and was unique in predicting both the seriousness of the early-1990s downturn in California and the strength of the state's rebound since 1993. More recently, the Forecast was credited as the first major U.S. economic forecasting group to declare the recession of 2001. Visit UCLA Anderson Forecast on the Web at http://uclaforecast.com.

How to become a swinger in Queenstown – Visit the ledge
Sarah Bond, a Freelance Travel Writer from Dunedin, New Zealand, gives an account of her experience on The Ledge Swing.
I had no idea that The Ledge Swing, Queenstown could give me an adrenalin pump on a molecular level.
At the top of the Skyline Gondola, on Bob's Peak, a boardwalk leads to The Ledge Bungy station. I'm standing in my ever so chic black and yellow riggers harness, still babbling about my bungy jump, saying "Nothing could be scarier..."
The professional site photographer looks sideways at me and smiles knowingly.
Phil, the Jump Controller, attaches me to two ropes and guides me to the Swing ledge.
"Come over here and step of the ledge, you'll hang on that wire till we get you into position. Then you can pull that red tab to release," Phil says, in a matter of fact voice. "Pull the red tab?!?!" I thought, "You've got to be joking!"
My feet are swinging in mid-air with a rock face beneath me. With the mind control of a Jedi knight, somehow I will my hand to 'pull the pin'... on myself! The world falls away. The photograph taken at that moment could be titled "Primal Scream - New Millennium edition".
Every atom in my body really is screaming!
I hang like a tea bag on the end of a line and wait to be winched back up. I look out over Queenstown, the adventure capital of the world.
Based on my experience its simple, if you want the biggest adrenalin rush on offer, The Ledge Swing needs to be top of your 'To Do' list.
Article by Sarah Bond, Freelance Travel Writer
"If you're out sightseeing in Queenstown, you've got to head up to the Ledge Bungy & Swing - the views are absolutely breathtaking."
Article by
Ledge Swing - AJ Hackett Bungy
At 400m above Queenstown the Ledge Swing takes swinging to a whole new level. Attached to the ropes you will hang out over the rock face. Then pull the cord yourself and swing out over the lake.

It looks like those "neighborhood forums" for the city council's proposed plan for waste disposal are off to a promising start.
The first forum, held on Monday evening, drew a crowd that filled Goodall Library's community room and resulted in a two-hour presentation and discussion that was largely productive and civil. More forums are planned in the coming weeks.
The council last week approved a contract with Waste Zero for the company's new and untried "More in Return" program. The program is the council's second attempt at reining in the costs of disposing of the city's waste after the "Pay-As-You-Throw" debacle a few years ago. You may recall that the council enacted that program during the summer of 2010, only to see voters overwhelmingly repeal it at the polls that November.
This time around, councilors are hoping that a promised rebate is the right hook for residents to support "More in Return." Under this program, residents would still have to purchase special bags for their trash, while recyclables would still be separated and put out in marked bins for pick-up. However, a portion of the price of those bags would be put into an escrow account and, at the end of the year, each household would receive a rebate based on the number of bags used by the average household.
In other words, the more you recycle, the more money you could get back at the end of the year. And the city wins too, for a high recycling rate equals lower disposal costs. Right now, Sanford's recycling percentage is in the low twenties — up from a few years ago, yes, but dramatically down from the days when Pay-As-You-Throw was in effect.
"More in Return" deserves a fair hearing, and these five forums are providing it. The council seems to have learned a lesson from the Pay-As-You-Throw episode and now knows you have to take such a significant proposal out of the city hall chambers and to the people.
Those who think the council is putting the cart before the horse — holding these forums after signing the contract — should take a deep breath. This spring, the council will vote whether or not to approve an ordinance that would enact the program; if the council senses no community support for the program, then it will not be implemented.
On that point, councilors should focus on listening to residents as much as they do on trying to sell "More in Return" to them. This requires cutting through the din of those on either side who are most vocal and discerning what is truly the public's consensus on the proposal. If the council discerns public approval for the plan, then there's no problem. If it senses disapproval and enacts "More in Return" anyway, it risks both the ire of a populace that is overtaxed and a possible citizen's petition to repeal the program.
One letter-writer to the Sanford News proposed letting voters settle the issue by voting on the program at the polls in June. We disagree. We elect our councilors to use their judgment when it comes to entering into contracts, and that's what the "More in Return" proposal entails. If we question or lose faith in a councilor's judgment, then we oust him or her on Election Day. That's how it works.
However, if residents make clear, through these forums and other means, that they do not want to see "More in Return" enacted, then they must share the responsibility afterward if the council abides.
Gandhi said it best when he theorized that the key to freedom and democracy is self-discipline. When people lack such discipline, their government steps in to solve the problems that result.
Translated: If everyone in Sanford would recycle on their own, the city government would not step forward with these "Pay-As-You-Throw" and "More-in-Return" ideas.
On this issue, residents should not be fretting about feeling powerless or victimized by the council's proposed solution to a pressing problem. Residents do have the power here to affect an outcome. They can exercise that power by being wise as to where they discard their trash.
Do I throw this empty cereal box in the trash can with the rest of the garbage, or do I toss it in that recycling bin over there instead?
Think of how much money the city would save if everyone chose that recycling bin.
It's that simple.

Warfare has long been a motivational force behind the development of new technology. As the Allied and Axis forces battled during World War II, each side sought to improve the reliability and accuracy of their new technological weapon (radar) for any advantage in detecting the presence of an adversary. Bell Labs—one of the organizations tasked with improving the rectifier crystals used in those radar systems for RF-to-DC conversion of reflected signals—would eventually form the germanium used for those rectifiers into the first semiconductors, as well as the birth of the transistor.
These roots of radar simply reflect a trend that has been going on throughout the history of warfare: an adaptation of lessons learned on the battlefield to practical use in peacetime. Although not often associated with the commercialization of military technologies, the US Department of Defense's (DoD's) Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) plays a key role not only in encouraging the development of novel and practical technologies for the military, but also in seeing that they eventually find their way to the civilian taxpayers who initially funded their creation.
DARPA is an impressive repository of different technologies; a quick sampling of their latest activities can be found here. This is a federal agency with a broad interest in different technologies, including chemical, electrical, and mechanical types. The organization's work in robotics, for example, includes liquid-based robots capable of changing colors like a chameleon to gain an advantage in stealth operations. It is safe to say that DARPA is leading the way for advances in terahertz (THz) radio technology—pushing the development of circuits and devices operating well beyond the millimeter-wave (30 to 300 GHz) frequency range. As mentioned in the news story, the THz technology supports an even larger effort as part of DARPA's Video Synthetic Aperture Radar (ViSAR) program, which intends to produce a targeting sensor that can work through smoke and clouds.
Yet, although its accomplishments are many, DARPA is not the behemoth organization that many perceive it to be, even though it is tied to the Pentagon. It operates effectively and efficiently (albeit helped along with taxpayers' dollars), but largely by enlisting the help of industry to pursue new technology development. In reviewing the contents of the agency's website (www.darpa.mil), it is clear that DARPA has enlisted many talented and knowledgeable individuals in key technology areas.
DARPA is not wed to any one technology or group of technologies but, rather, is open to advances wherever they may come. The research organization looks for technologies with high potential, technologies capable of bringing dramatic improvements in performance or tactical capabilities. A number of questions arise whenever a project or technology is considered at DARPA: How much will it cost? What will it mean in terms of improving existing capabilities? How can those technologies be turned into commercial products?
DARPA's role is unlike any of the other armed-forces research laboratories, such as the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) or the Army Research Laboratory (ARL). Those later laboratories are more concerned with applying existing technology in practical ways, whereas DARPA looks for "out-of-the-box" solutions that might be capable of replacing even the most successful of modern technologies—such as an alternative to the cellular telephone for low-cost wireless communications. DARPA's role in the rapid advancement of gallium nitride (GaN) devices and amplifiers is a good example of this "disruptive technology" approach. At one time, it appeared that gallium arsenide (GaAs) would be the high-frequency, solid-state technology of choice for the military for years to come, especially given the many years of investment in GaAs. As with other DARPA technologies, GaAs was quickly transitioned to the commercial sector and became a mainstay of many modern high-frequency electronic products. But given DARPA's current interest in GaN, and the rapid expansion of GaN amplifiers and devices throughout military radar and satellite communications (satcom) systems, GaAs may one day go the way of those early germanium transistors.
DARPA even encourages small businesses to work with them—and to commercialize their efforts—through their Small Business Planning Tool (SBPT), which is available on their website (www.sbir.darpa.mil/sbpt). It is not required in any way for a company wanting to do business with DARPA, but it includes useful tools for analyzing the technology, business, and market aspects of a company's products when it is time to commercialize those things initially sold to DARPA.

3.4" snow at O: But not enough to reload groundwater
How much did it snow on January 26? Well, it depends on where you were.
According to UVA Climatologist Jerry Stenger, most of the Charlottesville/ Albemarle area got just two inches–- far less than the four to seven inches that had been predicted by the National Weather Service. However, Stenger points out that thanks to cooler air out there, the Shenandoah Valley averaged 7-10 inches from the late-January precipitation event.
As every local parent knows, those two inches meant the closure of Albemarle County Schools, which takes a cautious approach to putting its buses and children out on potentially slippery roads.
One of the big nearby winners in bragging rights for snowfall depth was Fishersville which got 10 inches; and, according to Stenger, some parts of Loudoun County got over a foot.
Speaking of bragging rights, the Hook's Facebook page offered a little contest as the snow began for the person who guessed closest to the total snowfall reported at Charlottesville's McCormick Observatory. Stenger's crew measured it at 3.4 inches. Doesn't that seem a bit high?
"It was cooler up there," explains Stenger, "so it received more precipitation as snow, and less rain or sleet mixed in, so totals were a bit higher than most of the area."
That also means that Dave Simmons, who guessed 3.33 inches on Facebook, wins four tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters perform their amazing basketball stunts at John Paul Jones Arena on March 6.
Other snowfall totals reported to the UVA climate office include about two inches in Palmyra, about three inches in Louisa, and just an inch in Richmond. Seems like we all needed it, as this has been a very dry winter with total seasonal snowfall at McCormick Observatory just seven inches, or 85 percent of average for this point in the season.
More ominously, only 0.94 inches of precipitation was recorded at McCormick in January, making the December-to-January total just 3.44 inches–- or about half the typical amount.
"Winter is always an important time of year for long-term moisture recharge because evaporation is low and the water has an opportunity to be absorbed deeper into the ground," says Stenger. "Given that moisture levels were generally down at the end of last year's growing season, a lack of recharge this winter could spell problems for water supplies this summer."
And in case it has seemed somewhat cold this winter, it sure has.
Since the McCormick Observatory recorded its first freezing temperature for this season
on November 27th, there were a total of 59 days (up to and including Thursday the 27th) that have seen temperatures at or below freezing.
"That's an all-time record number of freezing days for the same period," say Stenger, whose office began keeping records back in 1893.

It's snowing, and remember, another 2 month of winter on the way- March can bring a whopper. Still hoping for the big one.
I think I could use a foot massage. Love the video, thanks Mr. Spencer.
what was second prize - 8 tickets to the Globetrotters?
Here's my prediction: The Globetrotters will take the Generals!

"Kids will be kids."
Doesn't this unfortunate cliché say more about us than it does them? Is it really the overwhelmingly simply explanation for their behaviour that we pretend it is? Is it productive or even fair to surrender and place blame on those we have the responsibility and privilege to mentor and shape and teach? Isn't surrender precisely the function of the statement, "kids will be kids"?
What are the consequences for our apathy and refusal to act on behalf of our precious kids?
Last night, I sat at my 4-year-old daughter's bedside, and as I watched her sleep, I wondered . . . what 'names' will my beautiful daughter hear some day that threaten to undermine the love and encouragement I am determined to provide her with daily? What psychological torment will she endure at the hands of 'kids being kids'? At the moment, she is ecstatic beyond comprehension about attending junior kindergarten next fall, but at what point will her enthusiasm be crushed by the selfish and the cruel? Is it necessary that this should happen at all?
Admittedly, my ruminations were influenced substantially by the recent documentary, "Bully", which I viewed immediately prior to this bedside lament. I am thankful for but disturbed to my very core by the content of this powerful film, and I'm certain this was the filmmaker's purpose for pursuing his subject in such a frank and visceral way. The experiences of Alex, Ja'Maya, and Kelby are potent and affecting not only because it is terrible to witness the cruelty they must face at such young ages, but because these incidents are all too common and have troublesome and far-reaching consequences. To hear a child who weathers physical and verbal assaults on a daily basis say, "I'm starting to think I don't feel anything any more," is almost too much to bear!
It is true that bullying is hardly a new phenomenon, but incidences of teens and pre-teens committing suicide due to bullying are becoming far too common. Playground conflicts may have existed since the advent of playgrounds, but bullying via electronic means (a.k.a. cyber-bullying) ensures that no place–not even a loving home–is a safe haven for a bullied child! I will concede that children engaging in ridicule and violence directed at other children likely do not comprehend or intend the outcomes that typically result from the onslaught of abuse they dish out, but their intentions are really beside the point. Victimization of any kind among our children and teens requires a swift response if we are to possibly spare the victim and reform the perpetrator.
I am encouraged to see a school board (one of many) in our own province taking such a stand against bullying in all its forms. Following the arrest of eight Ontario girls for 'criminal harassment' at a highschool in London, Ontario, last fall, director of education for the Thames Valley District School Board, Bill Tucker, had this to say:
If we can change behaviours about drinking and driving, if we change behaviours and attitudes around smoking, why can we not change behaviours and attitudes around bullying.
Reformed attitudes and behaviours are a valiant pursuit, and I applaud any efforts in our schools to pursue this end. I am thrilled that the aforementioned documentary on the subject fought for and finally received a PG-13 rating, allowing it to be viewed in many schools where these dialogues must continue. The advantage that Tucker and his school board had in the incident last fall was that the bullying was reported (if not by the victim, by others who were privy to it). The sad truth is that in many of the worst incidences, victims as young as four or five years old suffer in silence.
I was shocked to learn, after viewing the film and relaying some of its most startling elements to my wife, that three of our closest friends are confronting serious bullying situations with their children at this very moment. We are fortunate that my wife is able to stay home with our girls for the time-being, and she benefits greatly from the interactions she enjoys with other young mothers like herself. She recently heard of beatings on the bus endured by a kindergarten-aged boy (inflicted by 3rd and 4th graders), among other stories of abuse and torture routinely faced by little ones who call me 'Uncle Paul'. One mother couldn't understand why a son who recently displayed the excitement toward all things school-related (akin to that currently expressed by my daughter) suddenly broke down crying as she urged him toward the bus each morning. It was months later that she learned that her beloved son's cries were the result of genuine fear for his safety. I shutter to think what would cause greater pain: the fact that such abuse was occurring, or that as a parent, we would fail to recognize it.
My heart breaks with the parents in Lee Hirsch's film who have lost children to suicide, or must move their families and their belongings to ensure safety and security for a daughter who has identified as gay. As one woman in the film explains, we spend all of our time with these 'little people' when they are young, then send them off to be educated and soon discover that we "never really know them" or "know what's happening to them". It's utterly terrifying to consider that regardless of the relationship we establish with our children early on, they simply will not communicate everything that we need to know to ensure that they remain safe. As a protective father with somewhat of a type-A personality, I struggle to accept this reality.
I have no desire to launch an indictment against our school system, or lob accusations at our youngsters regarding their poorer attitudes/behaviour when compared with previous generations. I absolutely love technology, and aim to raise children who respect its power and benefits, and make good choices about when and how it should be employed. Action plans and methodologies for addressing a serious problem plaguing our schools and our society today have certainly been better-researched and better-enunciated elsewhere. Having said all of that, of one thing I am sure:
'Kids' are the way they are because we permit, or worse, model, the destructive behaviours they now exhibit! It is we (parents/adults) who must change our ways first!
I will start right now by speaking and breathing love into my children's lives as consistently and frequently as I am able. I will treat them with respect, kindness, and compassion so regularly that when they engage others, they will know no other way of relating to them but this example that their mother and I have provided.
I will tirelessly communicate their uniqueness and their value as individuals and members of our family, and I will continue to do so through their adolescence when my impressions and opinions will inevitably mean less than those of their peers.
I will lovingly correct them when I see hostility, anger, or frustration expressed outwardly in harmful, abusive ways. I will encourage them to adopt healthy methods of conflict resolution, and to uncover the pain/hurt that so often fuels attacks directed at family members, friends, and acquaintances.
I will do everything in my power to make damn sure that your kid is not bullied by one of mine! It is my responsibility first and foremost to teach them and to hold them accountable, and I won't let you down!
Will you do the same? Let's not wait on our education system or our criminal justice system to react and intervene. Let's attack the problem at its root, where we have a shred of control, and let's do it by adjusting our own attitudes and behaviours first and passing them on intentionally to the next generation!
The following TED Talk impacted my thinking today as I sat down to write this post. I hope that it prompts action in you. Please share it with others.
"I will love myself despite the ease with which I lean toward the opposite." – Shane Koyczan, Canadian Poet

The Mets and David Wright will honor NYPD heroes this season through the "The Wright Thing" community platform. The initiative underscores Wright's admiration and respect of law enforcement personnel as his father, Rhon, served in the Norfolk Police Department for 30 years before retiring as Assistant Police Chief in January.
"The Wright Thing" launched last year with Wright honoring volunteers who made an extraordinary impact on the lives of individuals and organizations impacted by Hurricane Sandy. The season-long initiative raised awareness that more work needed to be done to help our hometown continue the recovery and rebuilding process.
Honorees are invited to Citi Field to meet Wright before the game, install third base with the grounds crew, sit along the third base line, and enjoy an in-game video on Citi Vision that features their meeting.
James Li, Randy Chow, Khadijah Hall, and Shaun Alexander
On April 26 The first "The Wright Thing" honorees of the season were NYPD Police Officers James Li and Randy Chow along with FDNY EMTs Khadijah Hall and Shaun Alexander. Officer Li was shot once in each leg while chasing a suspect who entered a Brooklyn bus through the rear door. Both officers graduated from the Police Academy in December. EMTs Hall and Alexander were off duty and came to the assistance of Li.
Leslyn Stewart
Leslyn Stewart is the widow of Detective Dillon Stewart who was killed in the line of duty during a routine traffic stop in 2005. The driver fired at him and his partner and Officer Stewart died in the battle. In 2012, Stewart founded the Metro New York Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors. The organization's goal is to provide resources to assist in the rebuilding of the lives of surviving families and affected co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. The Mets WELCOMED Stewart and her family as "The Wright Thing" honorees on May 21. For more information on C.O.P.S., visit http://www.metronycops.org/.
Adrian Harris and Aml Elsokary
NYPD Sergeant Adrian Harris and Police Officer Aml Elsokary saved residents from a burning building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The partners went door to door evacuating residents including a one-year old infant. While all the residents were evacuated without injuries, both officers were treated for smoke inhalation at a local hospital. The Mets and Wright welcomed Sgt. Harris on June 25. Officer Elsokary was unable to attend because of a family commitment, but will meet Wright later this season.
On July 29, NYPD Sergeant Jonathon Zocchia, Police Officer Joseph Benson and their families met with Wright. The partners responded to a call of a man complaining of chest pain after playing in a softball game. The man turned out to be an off-duty police officer. By the time Sgt. Zocchia and Officer Benson arrived at the scene, the man had lost consciousness and didn't have a pulse. The partners administered CPR and shocked the man's heart twice while EMS was in route. EMS arrived and successfully revived the man. They credited the efforts of Sgt. Zocchia and Officer Benson with saving's the man's life.

We enjoy hearing from sponsors about their mission awareness trips, and this story especially moved us. Mari Wrightís mother started sponsoring Andrea in Honduras when Andrea was only 2 years old. She never visited Andrea, but wrote to her regularly. Mari decided to continue the sponsorship after her mother died in 2003. This year, Mari visited Andrea for the first time and discovered a precious letter that her mother had written back in 1999. Mari recounts her experiences in the following post.
This summer I was so fortunate to be able to go on a mission awareness trip to Honduras, my first time to visit any CFCA project. I went to meet Andrea, the child I have been sponsoring since 2003.
Andrea, second from left, and Mari, second from right, celebrate at a CFCA birthday party for sponsored friends.
The way I became a sponsor is a story worth telling. In 1998 a devastating hurricane killed many people and did horrendous damage to the small country of Honduras.
My mother, a devout Roman Catholic and resident of Kansas, heard about CFCAís work to help the people there. She wanted to contribute and decided to sponsor a child.
Andrea was then 2 years old. Every year when a photograph came, Mom would show it to me, along with letters written by Andreaís mother.
When my mother died in 2003, I decided to continue the sponsorship.
Before long Andrea learned to write letters, herself. She often would ask me if I could ever come to meet her. Finally this past summer I was able to do so.
From the moment my plane landed in Honduras I felt my motherís blessings close around me. The CFCA project leader, who met me at the airport, exclaimed, ìYou are going to be able to see your child three times, the most of anyone on this trip!î
Our first meeting was at the whole-day celebration held for visiting sponsors, the children and parents ó held at a water park not far from the airport and our hotel.
We spent a wonderful, relaxed day playing and getting to know one another.
When our group went to Andreaís home a few days later, she showed me a letter she had received in 1999 from my mother in Momís own beautiful handwriting.
They had kept the letter and treasured it all the years.
I think all of us had tears in our eyes as I read aloud the sweet message.
Stacy, a representative from the CFCA office in Kansas City, was with us that afternoon and urged me to write this story.
The next day I was in a group of sponsors attending a typical CFCA birthday party for all the children whose birthdays were in that three-month period.
Since Andreaís brother was one of them, she was invited to come too. We sat together and talked in a more easygoing manner as our friendship grew.
Then when it was time for the children to go, there wasnít room on the bus for all of them, so Andrea and her brother were allowed to stay.
One of the CFCA staff drove them home later after finishing the cleanup. That meant I got to spend even more time with her. I was so lucky! I felt I really got to know her and her family.
Andrea and her mother meet Mari.
All the activities planned for us during the trip made plain how much our small monthly contributions are valued by the recipient families.
The very hard-working staff of the CFCA project ó all residents of the area and citizens of Honduras ó are a true inspiration. They create the incredible effectiveness of the program.
Andreaís project leader, has known her family over the many years that he has worked with CFCA.
Even though he is responsible for hundreds of children and their families, he remembers the histories and details of each one. He treated her and her brother with such care. And he welcomed me warmly into their community.
I have been tremendously enriched by this experience. I truly feel that I have a goddaughter now in Honduras.
Thanks, Mom!

C&H necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 36 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
PVC Oilcloth Co.
We are a large, multi-branch textile and homeware retailer in the UK, rebranding and relaunching an existing discount website!
The site will sell PVC tablecloths and oilcloth, as well as all manner of tableware and homeware accessories.
We are modernising an already successful format in order to appeal to a wider audience and streamline our sales catalogue.
18 - 70! But mainly around late 20's to early 40's, trying to appeal to young Mums and growing families. We operate in the retail sector so aren't trying to appeal to trade buyers.
We have a website in place at http://www.curtainfabrics4less.co.uk, and the colour schemes here will remain the same, whilst all images and products, categories etc are going to be changed. This means that the colour scheme must reflect the black, silver and purple incorporated into the site, and also relate to tablecloth, tables, kitchen textiles or something similar.
We want a modern, sleek logo that matches the dynamic of the site without being too complex, and it probably needs to contain the brand name.

The recent battle in Gaza between Israel and Hamas wasn't only fought with bullets, bombs, and missiles, but also with keystrokes. Observers say that through Facebook, YouTube, and other Web-based applications, the online community participated in shaping the news, and was enlisted in the effort to influence public opinion in an unprecedented – and sometimes worrisome – way.
"There were two wars going on. There was the one going on on the ground, and a parallel war happening in the virtual world," says Amira Al Hussaini, Middle East and North Africa editor for Global Voices Online, a website that aggregates the work of bloggers from around the world. "All the [online] social-networking tools were used to the best of people's abilities on both sides."
The online war over Gaza was relentless. Hackers on both sides worked to deface websites, with one attack successfully redirecting traffic from several high-profile Israeli websites to a page featuring anti-Israel messages. Facebook groups supporting the opposing sides were quickly created and soon had hundreds of thousands of members.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) set up its own YouTube channel, showing footage taken by unmanned drones flying over Gaza, while Palestinians responded with the launch of Palutube.com, with raw footage showing the destruction in Gaza.
One group, an online collective known as Help Israel Win even encouraged users to download a program that would enlist their computer in an online effort to overload Palestinian websites.
Another online organization, called the Jewish Internet Defense Force, has employed various methods to remove or disable Facebook groups that, it says, are clearly antisemitic or actively promote Islamic terrorism or genocide – and thus break "terms of service" rules and possibly some international laws. [Editor's Note: The original mischaracterized the online behavior that the JIDF targets.]
"We believe in direct action both to eradicate the problems we face online and to create the publicity that will cause those with the power, companies like Facebook and Google, to take the needed action themselves," a spokesperson for the group, who asked to remain anonymous because of security concerns, wrote in an e-mail.
But it's not just independent activists who were busy online. Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based news network, complemented its traditional coverage with innovative new media features, such as sending out reports from Gaza via Twitter, an online messaging service, and posting an interactive map showing where war-related incidents in Gaza and Israel were happening.
"This is the first time that new media worked as a proven concept for how a mainstream media organization can cover an event like this online," says Riyaad Minty, a new media analyst with Al Jazeera.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government has been working hard to utilize new media tools to press its case. At the beginning of the conflict in Gaza, the Israeli consulate in New York held what was described as the first "governmental" press conference using Twitter. The online event was open to anyone with a Twitter account.
The country's Ministry of Immigrant Absorption, working together with the Foreign Ministry's public relations department, has also announced that it is looking for a multilingual "army of bloggers" to help in the aftermath of the Gaza operation.
"The blogosphere and new media are another war zone. We have to be relevant there," the head of the IDF's Foreign Press branch, Maj. Avital Leibovich, recently told The Jerusalem Post.
But some see the enlistment of the Internet in the Gaza battle as part of a troubling trend.
"We've been seeing the rise of what I refer to as citizen propaganda," says Ethan Zuckerman, a research fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, who observed a similar online information battle during last summer's conflict between Russia and Georgia.
"Rather than becoming the cafe of the world, where we interact on common ground, the Net has become a very effective place to rally people to your own cause and try to coordinate their actions."
Adds Mr. Zuckerman: "I think what has become really interesting is that in an era when you have armed conflict between states, you now have people online looking to see how [they] can become part of that conflict without leaving their computers."

Recipe from Steve Sampson of Grand Rapids, Mich.
9-inch pie crust
2 tablespoons extra-virgin oil
3 fresh tomatoes, chopped
Cup of chopped onion
Cup finely chopped roasted red bell pepper
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar (the older the better)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
3 twists of freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 400F. Line the uncooked pie crust with foil and weight it down with a few dry beans.
Bake the pie crust for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, remove the beans and foil and set the crust aside.
Reduce the oven heat to 375F.
Heat the oil in a sauce pan. Add the tomatoes, onion, roasted red bell pepper, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is reduced to a thick and rich-tasting paste with no moisture remaining.
Spoon the mixture into a large bowl. Add the beaten eggs and 2/3 cup of cheese. Gently stir. Pour this mixture into the pie crust.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the filling.
Bake for about 25 minutes. The pie should be golden and firmly set.
Serve hot or at room temperature. Not at its best when chilled.

Four City Council members, for the first time ever, let their constituents decide how a portion of their discretionary funds would be allocated, instead of using their own discretion.
Council members Brad Lander and Jumanne Williams of Brooklyn, Eric Ulrich of Queens, and Melissa Mark-Viverito of Manhattan all took part in participatory budgeting, whereby through a series of workshops and assemblies they gathered ideas and suggestions on what projects should be funded in their districts, and then let their constituents vote on what items were most important.
In the case of Lander, over 2,200 people voted at various locations throughout his district. As a result, P.S. 124 will be getting two bathrooms fixed, a community composting pile near the Gowanus Canal will be created to convert one ton of food waste into soil each day, and hundreds of new trees will be planted, among many other projects.
Obviously, participatory budgeting isn't a perfect process. Groups and civic associations that can mobilize membership to get out and vote will have a definite advantage in getting pet projects funded.
Meanwhile, worthwhile projects that may have a huge impact in underserved and less vocal communities could go unaddressed.
But in reality, that is already the case. It is generally the most vocal and politically active communities that get discretionary funds, not because they vote in participatory budgeting, but because they vote at the polls each election.
Discretionary funds are often used to placate - even reward - loyal constituents, and this alienates people and communities that are not comfortable with the political process or holding press conferences or even interacting with their local elected officials.
And there is still the issue of managing expectations. Many large-scale projects must go through a rigorous city process that involves bidding for various contracts and approvals from city agencies, but again, that is already the case.
In the end, participatory budgeting takes the decision of how city funds will be spent out of the hands of one person and puts it in the hands of many. It is their money, after all.
Let's hope that all 51 City Council members agree and take part in the process next year.

Hotele w Leeds
Sample all that lively Leeds has to offer! Stay in the heart of the city at the historic Radisson Blu Hotel, known for its beautiful Art Deco architecture with a modern twist. The hotel is the perfect base for marvelling at the beautiful sculpture in the Henry Moore Institute and shopping 'til you drop in the Corn Exchange shopping centre or Leeds' myriad of high-street stores and designer boutiques.
Leeds an exciting city with plenty of diverse events and activities for you to experience – here's a few you should try while you're here.
- Every October Leeds holds an event which keeps the whole city awake. Light Night Leeds is a great evening out as the city opens all of its museums, theatres and art galleries to the public throughout the night. As well as museums and galleries there's street art, music, film and dance to enjoy across the city and plenty of street food to snack on to keep you going through the night.
- If you're staying in Leeds in November then one event you should try and get tickets for is the film festival. The city screens hundreds of films over 18 days, from new films to the old classics, foreign films to short films and animations. The event goes on at cinemas throughout the city but also features screenings at Leeds Town Hall. Check with the hotel concierge for more information.
- While you're staying in Leeds go out for the night and experience the city's diverse choice of theatre, music or opera. The Opera House has some fantastic performances, the Town Hall hosts great classical music concerts and Leeds Grand Theatre is a great place to watch some of England's finest actors treading the boards.
- If you want to experience some of the World's best artists and musicians make sure you get tickets for a concert at the First Direct Arena. This arena is in the centre of the city and only opened in 2013 so it's a popular place for huge music events as well as comedy, circus and dance.
- Just to make sure you've experienced Leeds at its best hit the city's most popular night spots. There are plenty of clubs which keep you dancing until dawn but for something more laid back check out North Bar which has great music and beer or for a more vibrant crowd visit Oporto, the Wardrobe or The Cockpit, which are known for local up-and-coming musicians.

There have been plenty of great showdowns in the sports world over time, like Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier. There have been great battles in the political world, like Abe Lincoln vs. Stephen Douglas. But Tuesday, All Saints Church and Live Talks LA are serving up an intellectual battle royal between world-famous spiritualist Deepak Chopra and Caltech physicist Leonard Mlodinow that seeks to answer the most basic questions of the universe and the existence of God.
Speaking in a debate moderated by popular KPCC host Patt Morrison titled "War of the Worldviews: Science versus Spirituality," Chopra and Mlodinow will discuss how the universe emerged, the nature of time, the meaning of life, what defines being human and, ultimately, the connection between the mind and the brain. The two met a few years back, when Chopra appeared at a Caltech debate on "The Future of God," and have since teamed up to co-author a book exploring these same issues.
"It's a very interesting book because each chapter is written in point-counterpoint style," says Ted Habte-Gabr, producer of the Live LA Talks series, which is currently running its second full season of celebrity discussions at locations across Los Angeles. "We approached KPCC and Patt Morrison, and I'm honored to be hosting the LA stop on their national book tour."
Deepak Chopra and Leonard Mlodinow debate "Science versus Spirituality" at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at All Saints Church, 132 N. Euclid Ave., Pasadena. Tickets are $20, with prices ranging up to $40 for the discussion and their book, and $95 for a VIP reception from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., the book and their discussion. Visit livetalksla.org.

GOBLIN - Melbourne Town Hall, Melbourne, Australia - November 21st 2012
Melbourne Town Hall's Grand Organ is the most complex, thunderingly loud natural instrument in Melbourne. And for one night only, it will belong to prog-horror legends Goblin.
Goblin will be employing the Grand Organ to perform a set of their most famous and revered soundtrack work. Awe-inspiring, overwhelming and chilling, this is how the music of Goblin was meant to be heard.
Thematica, feat. members of Midnight Juggernauts plus Timothy J Hoey (Cut Copy), Gus (Architecture in Helsinki), Evelyn Morris (Pikelet), Shags (Lost Animal, Brous) and more guests to be announced, bring to life grand musical interpretations of iconic film and soundtrack works. Traversing Phillip Glass, John Carpenter and beyond, Thematica will re-imagine these artists' significant film scores on a large scale.
Rounding out the bill will be local heavyweights The Night Terrors, with their dark synth dreamscapes and other-worldly electronica.
Supported by Mess+Noise and Triple R.
Melbourne Town Hall, 100 Swanston Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
Date & times: 21/11/2012, Wednesday: 8pm - till late.
Price: Full price tickets $40. On the door $50 Transaction and booking fees may apply
I'm all set and ready! Anyone else planning on going?
Damn sure hope they play some of one of my all-time favourite prog albums `Roller'!

Hey Shanocles!
I'm still trying to work out a proper estimate of how many people were there, but I've reviewed the concert over on this thread:
Goblin - live Melbourne Town Hall 21-11-2012
and since then, I've come across several videos people shot of the concert on their phones, some of which show the crowd, so you might get a better idea from that! I've posted Youtube links on that page too, as well as some of my own fairly rubbish photos.
I thought there would be some more proper photos/review popping up on the net by now, but so far very few!
Claudio mostly played on his bank of keyboards, but went up to the organ for about three tracks on and off. He even joked something like `see you in ten minutes' because of the time it took to travel from the stage up to the organ!

Local pharmacist urges students to lead
KINGSVILLE, Texas — A founding father of the Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC) Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy wants to spur student leaders to continue to initiate change through leadership opportunities.
"I want to stare the students in the eye and see if I can find words to express how important their lives are," said Ron Garza, R.Ph., president of the Coastal Bend Pharmacy Association. "This generation of kids really impresses me. They seem to be well-grounded. I think the profession will be OK with them at the helm."
Selected students at the TAMHSC-Rangel College of Pharmacy will be inducted into the Pharmacy Leadership Society, Phi Lambda Sigma, at 6 p.m. April 15 at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Center, 1730 W. Corral Ave., in Kingsville.
"Phi Lambda Sigma is such an honor because it recognizes that you have already accomplished amazing things as a leader," said Amber Bacak, organization president. "Our organization is not for those who only have leadership potential. Being a member means you are already a leader, and it speaks volumes coming from your colleagues."
Eight leaders will be inducted and adorned with green and gold cords – green symbolizing strength, gold symbolizing fineness of character.
"Being chosen for membership into Phi Lambda Sigma is a tremendous honor," said Christine Carney, Phi Lambda Sigma treasurer and Pharmacy Student Council president. "Membership selection is by peer recognition, and there is no greater honor than being chosen by your peers as a leader in pharmacy. The eight people that were chosen to be inducted this year are the best of the best. I have no doubt in my mind that they will be the future leaders in our field."
Garza, owner of DeLeon's Pharmacy in Corpus Christi, will address the members and guests on ways for future leaders to affect change through pharmacy practice and community engagement.
Born and raised in Corpus Christi, Garza reluctantly became involved in politics when he was part of sharing the story of the legendary Hector P. Garcia, M.D., who inspired Mexican-Americans to educate themselves in democratic principles and worked to apply those principles to all people through his organization, The American GI Forum. Garza portrayed Garcia in reenactment scenes of the documentary, "Justice for My People: The Hector P. Garcia Story" that aired September 2007 on PBS.
Through his experiences, Garza learned politics is everything, and everything is politics.
"There are only a handful of people who are in politics for the right reasons," he said. "Students need to get involved in politics."
Garza's childhood prepared him for patient care and independent pharmacy practice.
Suffering from upper respiratory infections and colic as a child and often needing medication to treat his illness, he remembers his grandmother talking on the phone with a local pharmacist discussing his problems. The pharmacist would calm his grandmother and even deliver medication to their home.
Garza also remembers how Carlos A. Oliveira would help him feel better and as a teenager decided to follow in Oliveira's footsteps and become a pharmacist. Oliveira was mentor to many pharmacists, including Joe R. DeLeon, the man who would become Garza's longtime friend and business partner.
In a twist of fate, Garza's two mentors were friends and forever changed his legacy.
Garza graduated in 1985 from Texas Southern University summa cum laude and is a member of the Rho Chi Society. He became part-owner of DeLeon Pharmacy about 15 years ago and also a tireless fighter for independent pharmacy for South Texas.
"I encourage [students] to go out there to see what it's like to work for a chain," he said. "If they're going to work hard, they might as well do it themselves. You can call your own shots. There will always be work for them in independent pharmacies."
Just as he was mentored by independent pharmacists DeLeon and Oliveira, Garza said there are several independent pharmacists willing to mentor students.
"We are not a backstabbing profession," he said. "We are a docile bunch, and we care about our community."
Garza even shared his business experience with the pharmacy management class last fall.
"Ron Garza understands the essence of leadership," said Charles Douglas, Ph.D., M.B.A., assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences and faculty adviser for Phi Lambda Sigma. "He is exceptional and has good management priorities. He is family-oriented and takes care of the employees who take care of him and give exceptional care to their patients."
For example, Garza has been known to share the pharmacy's earnings by taking his employees and their families on vacations.
A member of the Dean's Advisory Board, Garza helps interview students for admissions and sponsors the Ron and Anabella Garza Outstanding Student Award for a graduating student.
Sebastian Perez, Pharm.D., now an assistant professor of pharmacy practice at the TAMHSC-Rangel College of Pharmacy, received the inaugural outstanding student award in 2010.
"People make a big difference, and when you have some recognition for the little you did, it motivates us to do more," Dr. Perez said.
Besides serving at the TAMHSC-Rangel College of Pharmacy, Garza was a founder of the college as a member of the planning and building committees.
"I was involved in opening the pharmacy school," he said. "I was with Irma Rangel when it was first an idea, and her sister Minnie (Henderson) was a pharmacist. They had a meeting with a dentist, attorney and a banker."
The group debated back and forth what professional school should be proposed for South Texas. A pharmacy school was suggested, and Rangel made the group promise to see it through.
"Although she fell ill, during many of the inaugural events she would never have dreamed the school would be so successful in such a short period of time," Garza said.
Garza was an outspoken advocate for the college when the building was initially empty, asking media to share that pharmacists were needed in South Texas and standing in front of the facility to demonstrate the physical property was ready.
Garza also was a member of the Dean's Screening Committee, who chose Indra K. Reddy, Ph.D., to lead the professional school into uncharted territory as its founding and still current dean. He admires the dean because he's constantly learning and constantly improving himself.
The TAMHSC-Rangel College of Pharmacy was created in 2006 in response to the shortage of pharmacists in the Texas border region.
DeLeon's Pharmacy was one of the first South Texas sites for both Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience rotations.
In doing what he has done for the student pharmacists of South Texas, Garza has established a legacy of living out being a leader and giving more than what he has taken for himself.
"My purpose is to exalt them and empower them through politics and nonprofit organizations. I don't talk about myself," he said. "My whole energy is focused on them and how they can affect change."

Sleepless nights are far too common for many of us. Busy, stressful lives lead to difficulty falling and/or staying asleep; we awake in the morning feeling tired and unrefreshed.
From a clinical perspective, a diagnosis of insomnia involves difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep despite adequate circumstances and opportunity. Deficits in your daytime function are also a part of a formal diagnosis.
Regardless of whether your sleep problems fit a clinical definition, here are some simple, cost-effective ways to increase your chances of having a restful night's sleep:
When and Where to Sleep
"Sleep hygiene" refers to a set of practices that help promote a healthy relationship with your bedroom and with sleep itself. Your bedroom should only be used for sleeping (and for sex). Refrain from watching TV, working or even reading in your bedroom. Choose a consistent time to go to sleep each night and stick to it. Consistency will help to train your mind and body and help to balance your circadian rhythms.
Quiet the Body, Quiet the Mind
We have all heard how exercise can lower our risk for disease and improve our quality of life. It's no different with regard to sleep. Exercise allows us to discharge stress and anxiety and rebalance our nervous systems. Exercising during the day or early evening decreases the time it takes to get to sleep and increases the amount of deep sleep obtained.
Try a Protein Snack Before Bed
Some people wake in the middle of the night and have difficulty returning to sleep. Low blood sugar could be the culprit. Hypoglycemia can lead to the production of stress hormones that can wake us up. Try eating a small, protein-containing snack an hour before sleep. A small handful of almonds is a good example. Herbal teas containing chamomile, lavender, passion flower or kava are all good options for calming the nervous system.
How to Relax the Nervous System
Abdominal breathing helps to balance our nervous system and quiet the "fight or flight response." Lie flat on your back and direct your attention to you belly button. Feel it rise with each inhale. Feel if fall with each exhale. Repeat with great awareness for 10 minutes before trying to fall sleep.
These are only a few of the ideas that may help your sleep difficulties. To learn more about healthy ways to promote better sleep and greater quality of life, make an appointment at Bastyr Center for Natural Health by calling (206) 834-4100.
— Jamie Corroon, ND, naturopathic physician and resident at Bastyr Center for Natural Health, the teaching clinic of Bastyr University.

If you didn't take notes during my podcast with Laura Carroll, Managing Editor of Students In Europe, don't sweat it. Grab a highlighter and read the transcript.

What students should know before traveling to Europe: Advice from Laura Carroll
A few weeks ago, Students In Europe interviewed our own Peggy Goldman about what to do and see if you're a student spending a semester "across the pond" (a.k.a. Europe). Peggy had such a great time working with the writers that we decided to turn the tables and interview Laura Carroll, Managing Editor of Students in Europe, in a podcast.
Laura studied abroad in Paris, France when she was in college. The romantic mood of the city inspired her and she fell in love with the people, the culture, and the time away from home. Since then she's been an advocate for students to get out of the U.S. and over to Europe for a life-changing experience.
I talked to Laura about her travels and how she's learned to cope with home sickness, handle currency exchange rates, schedule spontaneous trips to different parts of Europe, and more. She translates all of her real-world experience into practical posts on Students in Europe.
The website is dedicated to providing young travelers everything they need to be well-prepared for their journey to Europe. Its city profiles, news updates, product and venue reviews, interviews, and tips create a field guide to European travel for students.
Even if you're not a student, my chat with Laura offers great insight to anyone looking to spend some time living in, or exploring parts of Europe. Turn your speakers up and be prepared to get rocked with information.
