A novel for sale. Can an angel survive Hell on Wheels? Kit Calhoun leaves New York City with a train car full of foundlings from the Immigrant Children's Home. Her assignment is to sever ties, so she has no idea of the tangled threads of connection that await her in Dakota Territory. First is what to do with the leftover children who simply refuse placement. Second is handsome Patrick Kelley, continually managing to distract Kit from her task. Third is the demented gambler who fastens deadly attention on Kit and keeps turning up everywhere from Julesburg to Cheyenne. Forced to leave behind everything familiar, is it possible for a company of New York City castoffs to learn to fight for their hopes in the raw new American West?

Orphan Train Riders of New York (Midwest)
From New York to Minnesota and the Midwest.
Welcome to 'Orphan Train Riders to Iowa' website! Children 'placed out' during the Orphan Train Era (1853-1929) and their descendants have particular research problems. We hope to educate you a bit on this subject and help you further your research on any ancestors you may have that came to Iowa on one of the infamous Orphan Trains. This website is here for you to tell the story of your family's Orphan Train Rider, as well as to try and help you find information that may add to your research. If you have questions or comments please email me and I will do my best to help you. Beginning sometime during 1853, charitable institutions in New York City began sending orphans on trains to the west to find new families, hoping the children would fare better out west than on the streets of New York. Orphan trains began arriving in Iowa during 1854 ending about 1930. During this time over 5000 children were placed in Iowa homes.

This news in from Steve Corkran, who is in Napa with no internet access right now:
Terrelle Pryor is wearing No. 6 and taking some reps at quarterback now for the Raiders. Also, just-signed Lito Sheppard is also participating in drills. Sheppard is donning Nnamdi Asomugha's old No. 21 jersey.
To make room for both Pryor and Sheppard on the roster, the Raiders have released ex-San Jose State quarterback Jason La Secla as well as offensive lineman Alan Pelc.

The recently revamped JED team has decided that the JED Editors picks needed a little va-va-va-voom. So, they approached the JCM editors and asked if we would be interested in choosing the top five "Community Choice" extensions each month.
The JCM agreed and here's what we came up with:
- The top choices will be listed on the JED as the Community Choice Extensions
- This will spotlight some lesser known extensions
- This will also be a fixed feature in the JCM
Here's how it works:
Please submit your all-time, numero uno, favorite Joomla Extension. Tell us why you love it, give us a short explanation of what it does to enhance your website, and the URL of where you are using it (if possible).
The JCM editorial team (aka, The White Padded Room Skype chat members) will select three Extensions each month and they will be featured on the JED as well as listed in an article in the JCM.
No awards, no accolades... just the appreciation of the Joomla community for sharing and caring!
Please use the form below to submit your favorite extension.
Deadline for December reviews: November 20, 2012

Marin Circle's Signs Not Needed
By Peter Smalley
Monday January 28, 2013 - 10:53:00 PM
I wish to join Larry Raines in objecting to this latest example of official grafitti. New signage in public places should only appear when there is a demonstrated need to address a real danger or threat to the community. WRONG WAY-DO NOT ENTER at freeway off ramps is appropriate, while BE NICE-FOLLOW THE RULES would be a clear waste of money, visual pollution and an insult to citizens' intelligence. The Marin Circle eyesores are perfect examples of the second category.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
But honestly, it's better to give than to receive. (Yes, crazies, this quote "has its roots in religious scripture", but that's light years away from my point.)
Teaching someone else is, I think, one of the best ways to organize your own knowledge about the subject. And, if Schoolhouse Rock has taught us nothing, it's taught us: "Knowledge is power!"
Giving something back is important, especially for us older guys who got help from others earlier.
I also see many of the questions as puzzles to solve, instead of doing crosswords or a sudoku. Being able to solve it is nice in itself.
Reputation. It is the only other thing I can think of ... Ohh, and more experience trouble shooting 8 ^ )
For me it's pleasure. I love helping others and knowing that I helped someone, even if complete stranger, makes me feel good from the inside.
The reputation is nice addition of course and act as "positive feedback" all along, reassuring me that I'm doing it properly.
And the side effect is widening my own horizons - for example without being active here I'd never use jQuery as extensively as I'm using it these days.

Picasa 2.0
It's not just free. It's better than ever. This past summer, the ever-expanding Google empire acquired Picasa, one of PC Magazine's favorite photo-management tools, and a week later, in keeping with its usual business strategy, the company quit charging for the application. Now, for the first time since the acquisition, Google has released a new version, Picasa 2.0, and we like it even more than before.

Lagat, Claye, Campbell excel on day one of USA Indoor Championships
ALBUQUERQUE - Bernard Lagat brought the crowd of 2,037 to their feet in the final lap of the men's 3,000-meters while William Claye jumped a world leader in the men's triple jump and Amber Campbell established a meet record during the first day of the USA Indoor Track & Field Championships Saturday at the Albuquerque Convention Center. The meet continues Sunday beginning at noon Mountain Time.

 The fourth and final stop on the indoor Visa Championship Series, the meet will be broadcast on ESPN on Sunday, February 26, from 7:30-9:30 p.m. Eastern. Spots will be on the line for Team USA for the World Indoor Championships, which will be held March 9-11 in Istanbul, Turkey.

 You can also tune in via a live webcast on www.usatf.org provided in partnership with RunnerSpace on Sunday from 12:00-4:10 p.m. mountain time. The webcast will feature select events on Sunday.

 With the Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau, the New Mexico Sports Authority, University of New Mexico, the city of Albuquerque and USATF New Mexico all as official hosts, this is the third consecutive year the Albuquerque Convention Center has hosted the USA Indoor Track & Field Championships.

 Men's 3,000m
 In the most anticipated race of the night, the Galen Rupp and Bernard Lagat match-up in the 3,000m didn't play out as most would have expected. Rupp, Lagat and Lopez Lamong led the pack and quickly distanced themselves from the rest of the men in the field. However, with 700m to go, Rupp began to show signs that he was laboring and began to fade back from Lagat and Lamong. While the two men entered the bell lap together, Lagat unleashed his signature kick and soared over the final 200m in only 26 seconds. Lamong took the runner-up spot in 7:51.75, while Rupp finished third in 7:57.36.

 Men's Triple Jump
 Will Claye jumped the third best indoor mark in American history of 17.63m/57-10.25 to claim his first USA Indoor men's triple jump title. Claye battled once again with former University of Florida teammate Christian Taylor, who placed second with a mark of 17.21m/56-5.75. Aarik Wilson placed third with a mark of 16.53m/54-2.75.

 Claye won a bronze medal at the 2011 World Outdoor Championships and his mark Saturday is currently the best in the world.

 Women's Weight Throw
 All it took was one throw for Amber Campbell to win her sixth USA Indoor title in the women's weight throw. On her first attempt of the day, Campbell sent the hammer flying 24.78m/81-3.75 to improve her own USA Indoor Championships record from 2010. Campbell's mark also sets her atop the women's standings in the Visa Championship Series. Brittany Riley finished as the runner-up with a toss of 23.88m/78-4.25. Gwendolyn Berry claimed the third spot in 22.80m/74-9.75.

 Women's 3,000m
 After Shayla Houlihan lead the first portion of the race, it looked like a repeat of last year's race as Jenny Simpson and Sara Hall took the lead in the women's 3,000m. Simpson took the lead with a little more than six laps remaining and never looked back to win her second consecutive USA Indoor 3,000m tile. While it looked like Hall would take the runner-up spot in this race for the fourth time, Jackie Areson passed her on the last lap to take second in 9:20.61. Hall finished a little more than a second behind in 9:21.87. Simpson will return Sunday to defend her title in the 1500m as well.

 Men's Weight Throw
 A.G. Kruger won his seventh USA Indoor title in the men's weight throw with a lob of 24.57m/80-7.5. Kruger sat in second behind Michael Mai for much of the competition before gaining the lead on his fifth attempt. Mai finished second with 23.91m/78-5.5, and Garland Porter took the third spot on the podium with a throw of 23.37m/76-9.25.

 Men's 3,000m Race Walk
 Trevor Barron took the lead from the beginning and consistently put distance between himself and the rest of the field in setting a new USA Indoor Championships 3,000m race walk meet record of 11:36.27. Barron, the owner of six American Junior race walk records and the 2010 USATF Youth Athlete of the Year, finished ahead of his coach Tim Seaman (12:01.48) and John Nunn (12:11.86), who finished second and third, respectively. Seaman is the holder of a total of 10 American race walk records and Nunn won the Olympic Trials Men's 50 km Race Walk in January.

 Women's Pole Vault
 Battling through an Achilles injury, Jenn Suhr cleared both 4.67m/15-3.75 and 4.62m/15-1.75 on her first attempts to claim her sixth USA Indoor pole vault championship. Already having established an American record earlier this month with her effort of 4.88m/16-0 at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, Suhr made three attempts to improve that record at 4.90m/16-0.75 but was unable to notch another record Saturday. Mary Saxer picked up second place with a vault of 4.62m/15-1.75.

 Suhr is also the American outdoor record holder in the event, the 2008 Olympic silver medalist and the 2011 indoor Visa Championship Series winner.

 Men's High Jump
 Jesse Williams added a second USA Indoor title to his resume with his winning height of 2.31m/7-7 to claim the men's high jump. The reigning World Outdoor Championships gold medalist and 2011 Jesse Owens award winner outlasted Jamie Nieto, who placed second at 2.26m/7-5.

 Williams cleared the winning height on his final attempt before missing all three attempts at 2.31m/7-7. The No. 1 ranked high jumper in the world after the 2011 season, Williams currently owns the sixth best jump in the world this indoor season.

 Women's Triple Jump
 Patience was the name of the game for Amanda Smock as she didn't take the lead in the women's triple jump until her fifth attempt. Smock soared 13.77m/45-2.25 to win her first USA Indoor title. Erica McLain finished second in 13.74m/45-1, while Crystal Manning rounded out the podium with a mark of 13.65m/44-9.5.

 Nike Men's 60m Hurdle Prelims
 Dexter Faulk ran the fastest time in the world this year by storming to a 7.40 in the third heat of the men's 60m hurdle prelims. Omoghan Osaghae ran the second fastest time of the day as he won the first heat in 7.53, while David Oliver won the second heat in 7.60.

 BMW Men's 60m Prelims
 Justin Gatlin nabbed a U.S. leading time of 6.51 in the preliminary heats of the men's 60m as he won the first of three heats. Mookie Salaam won the second heat and clocked the second fastest overall qualifying time in 6.58. Calesio Newman advanced automatically by winning the third heat in 6.63.

 Nike Women's 60m Prelims
 Tianna Madison continued her fast times in the 60m by clocking the fastest time in the opening round of 7.10 in winning the opening heat. The world leader in the event and close contender for the 2012 indoor Visa Championship Series title, Madison advanced to Sunday's semi-final along with Lakya Brookins (7.13) and Barbara Pierre (7.14), who each claimed first place in the second and third heats.

 Men's 800m Prelims
 Duane Solomon turned in the fastest time of the night to lead the group of six into Sunday's final of the men's 800m. Solomon won the third heat with a time of 1:48.81. Also winning their heats were Tevan Everrett and Michael Rutt. Also advancing to the finals was Mark Wieczorek, Kevin Hicks and Christian Gonzalez.

 Women's 800m Prelims
 Six women advanced to Sunday's final in the 800m and were led by Erica Moore, who won the opening heat with the fastest time of the night of 2:03.24. Also picking up wins in the second and third heats, respectively, were Latavia Thomas (2:05.94) and Phoebe Wright (2:05.76). Also advancing to the final were Stephanie Charnigo, Bethany Praska and Lindsey Schnell.

 Women's 400m Prelims
 Competing in her first indoor season since 2006, Sanya Richards-Ross ran the fastest time of the night to win the opening heat of the women's 400m. The current world-leader in the 400m, Richards-Ross turned in a time Saturday of 51.33 to lead the group into Sunday's final. Also winning their 400m heats were Dee Dee Trotter (52.12) and Natasha Hastings (52.41). Also advancing to the final was Leslie Cole, Jernail Hayes, Monica Hargrove, Shelise Williams and Jessica Cousins.

 Men's 400m Prelims
 Frankie Wright turned in the fastest time of the day in the men's 400m prelims in 46.26 as he won the second heat. Gil Roberts won the first heat in 47.41, while Calvin Smith took heat three in 46.57.

 Athlete Quotes

 Bernard Lagat, men's 3,000m
 "I came to the last lap and I thought 'why not?' I felt good. I came down Thursday and did a run and everything was feeling good. Every time I come here I feel so good. I felt like if I could outlast everyone at the end I would have it. I am the defending world champion and I want to be able to do it again."

 On being 37 years old
 "I have been disproving people for years. When I go out for training I am still serious."

 Will Claye, men's triple jump
 "I feel awesome. I am just thankful to come out here healthy. In the past I've had a lot of injuries, so to come out here healthy, compete and get a good mark is a blessing.

 "My goal this season is to get that American indoor record. They said that I passed Willie Banks on the all time U.S. list. I'm just blessed to be of the same caliber. This will give me confidence for outdoors.

 "Me and Christian (Taylor) are bringing the triple jump back to where Al Joyner, Mike Conley, Willie Banks and Kenny Harrison had it back then."

 Amber Campbell, women's weight throw
 "I felt really good about today. I have been really focused on my technique lately. From here I want to work on throwing the hammer really far. This is my sixth USA Indoor title in a row so I am super blessed. I had a lot of people here and that has made this exciting.

 On not having the weight throw at the World Indoor Championships
 "It is frustrating. I wish they would reconsider having it at the World Championships. They have the hammer so why not the weight throw?"

 Jenny Simpson, women's 3,000m
 "I was excited coming here, and nervous coming here. Today was my first of two hard days. It was fun. I'm not going to Turkey (for World Indoors). I think it is important to be here. It is important as an American to run in the USA Championships, but this year I have a big, big task ahead of me, and I need to go home and train hard."

 AG Kruger, men's weight throw
 "Lucky enough, it came together and went far, and that's good. (On his fouls) It's kind of our motto 'last throw, best throw' so I just went after it. I'm getting ready for outdoors. I want to get that A standard out of the way, then make the Olympic team. We (him and coach) expect really big things this year."

 Trevor Barron, men's 3,000m race walk
 "I've been living at altitude for about six months now, so I actually came down a bit for this. I went out a little faster than I probably should have. I felt great at the start, but my technique felt a little choppy. In a race like this, there isn't much of an opportunity to get into a good rhythm."

 Jenn Suhr, women's pole vault
 "It was a great competition, the girls were doing really great. I did pass some heights; I wanted to save my jumps. I did attempt the record. When you're feeling good and you've got the crowd right there, why not go for it."

 On her Achilles: "It hurts, so I'm going to go get some ice and take care of it."

 Jesse Williams, men's high jump
 "Being able to come here and pull it off is fun. I'm a competitor and I don't want to lose. Honestly, I didn't feel good, but it was great how I came out and competed. I'm really happy to be able to win here. I had a difficult day so I was glad to get the win. As long as I can get it together I am going to be good. I have been jumping a lot lately and my legs are pretty tired. You never know with the high jump."

 Amanda Smock, women's triple jump
 "I felt like it was a process. I was trying to be very, very patient. My best jump didn't come until my fifth and sixth attempts. I'm thankful that I could stay patient and I was just thrilled with the result. I've got my bags packed [for World Indoor].

Perfect Sour Cherry Jam Recipe
Capture the best of your seasonal produce for later.
Simmering the cherries before adding the other ingredients helps to create a juicier, more spreadable jam. If the fruit separates in the jars, wait until they have sealed and cooled (about one hour) and then shake or roll them very gently to redistribute the fruit.
About the Author: Lucy Baker is a food writer and the author of The Boozy Baker: 75 Recipes for Spirited Sweets. She is currently at work on a second book about homemade food gifts. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and dachshund.
Read more: Preserved: Perfect Sour Cherry Jam
- Yield:makes 4 cups
- Active time: 1 hour
- Total time:1 hour, 30 minutes
- 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Pomona's Universal Pectin
- 3 pints sour cherries
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 teaspoons calcium water (included in the Pomona's packet)
- 1/4 teaspoon unsalted butter
Combine the sugar and pectin in a medium bowl.
Pit the cherries and transfer them to the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse the cherries 8 to 10 times, until they are coarsely chopped but not pureed. Measure 4 cups of the cherry puree and transfer to a large, heavy bottomed pot. (Discard any remaining cherries or reserve for another use.) Add the lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cherry pieces have softened and are beginning to break down, about 10 minutes.
Stir the calcium water and the butter into the pot with the cherries and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the sugar-pectin mixture and return the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard for one minute.
Remove the pot from the heat and skim any foam from the surface of the jam with a cold metal spoon. Ladle the jam into hot sterilized jars and process them in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.

A lot of parents who want their kids to grow up with an appreciation for great design, but that doesn't make them any less disappointed that this minimal metal tube rocking horse is designed and sized specifically for the smaller set. Because most grownups would love to take it for a
spin rock.
Created by Rotterdam-based design shop Blooey, the Hobbel is made from just a handful of steel tubes that have been bent into the beautiful curves that allow this piece of playful modern art to tilt back and forth with a pint-sized cowboy or cowgirl on board. It sadly doesn't seem like anyone's on board to put it into production just yet, but if someone out there realizes its potential, hopefully they'll make a full-size version, too.

Ed Hardy Creator's Home Looks Just Like You Think It Would
Christian Audigier, the founder of Ed Hardy and French-born creator of countless aesthetic blights on humanity, has listed both of his California dreamboat mansions.
The Topanga Ranch hacienda, shown above, is listed at $3.29 million. Chump change for the interior decorating marvels at work here! Sprawled across over three acres, the property comes complete with a pool and cabana, vineyard, several guest houses, and a former chapel. (You can marry up and marry well in a snakeskin wedding dress from his Ed Hardy Wedding Collection.) The home is decorated in a western theme, because of course.
His L.A. nightmare was first listed in October for $8.29 million; it's since been reduced to $7.65 million. All interested buyers should know that bedazzled cow skulls are an accepted (and encouraged) form of currency.

See You in December
The US dollar has lost another 0.5% against most of the major currencies today, as Asia and Europe respond to the Fed's decision. There are few exceptions to this generalization. The Norwegian krone has gained nearly three times as much, with the help of its central bank, which has played down for lower rates at today's meeting. The euro is at its lowest level against Nokkie since the end of last year.

Volant Air Filter Box: Our Cross-Link polyethylene box is engineered to each specific application for low restriction and an increase in air volume. It insulates and protects the filter from engine heat, moisture, dust and debris to provide colder air to the engine for an increase in horsepower.
Volant Air Duct: Factory air inlet ducts use sound baffles and awkward bends which restrict flow. Our Cross-Link polyethylene air ducts are sculptured to give the engine less restrictive breathing. Incorporating larger diameters and unique bends, that can't be duplicated with metal ducts, allow for maximum airflow velocity and throttle response.
Volant Pro 5 Filter: Many of our intakes come with this cleanable and reusable high grade cotton filter media with five-layers of protection. It reduces air restriction and increases engine output by using precision pleat geometry, that optimizes airflow throughout the intake system. We recommend using Volant cleaning and oiling system for servicing the Pro 5 Filter.
Carbon Fiber Lid: Made from ABS plastic with a carbon fiber appearance for a custom look. This lid is included on older applications and low production air intake kits.
High Performance Silicon Connectors: Our silicone hose connectors provide flexibility while maintaining strength and thermal stability. They won't crack or deform over time like rubber connectors.
Stainless Steel Clamps: We only use marine-grade, stainless steel clamps that provide optimal performance to provide a solid seal that won't loosen or deteriorate.

Now a week removed from the Gabrielle Giffords shooting, Sarah Palin has yet to issue any kind of apology for putting congresswoman Giffords in gunsights. She has remained silent for the most part, and engaged in scrubbing her webpages of the specific items in question, which, in my opinion, for those of you who have read 1984, is a purposeful attempt at doublethink. Fox News has tried to distort the image and change the facts, and pretty soon my guess is that they will claim there never WAS a map, and it was all perpetrated by the sneaky, elitist, Left.
I have taken up the cause of tweeting at Mrs. Palin every day about this issue. I refuse to let the issue die. My Twitter handle is @NewYorkCreator. I am starting a hashtag trending topic #Palindoublethink, which references her abdication of responsibility for inciting violence- the link to Loughner being irrelevant. Please join me.
Views: 47
Back in March, Sarah Palin released a .jpg image on her website that identified 20 house Democrats who voted for the Healthcare Bill in districts that supposedly Republicans carry. You can find it by googling "Sarah Palin Hitlist". The map included names of all the representatives, and had gunsights over the specific districts that they represent.
Last week, Gabrielle Giffords was shot by a paranoid schizophrenic, Jared Lee Loughner. There was immediate uproar over Palin's use of the map, echoing the immediate censure that was voiced back in March. Palin's defenders not only refuse to admit that their violent rhetoric had any part to play, but also now refuse to admit that they were gunsights at all, but were rather surveyor symbols. That's basically it in a biased nutshell.
I knew about the shooting but I didn't know about the map. This is akin to the Canadian political pundit who quipped that someone should take out Julian Assange. Obviously Palin's use of gun sights was pretty terrible judgement, but then when has Palin ever used reasonable judgement?
I hope Palin can be called to task in actually acknowledging her actions here. You certainly have the right idea in keeping this issue alive, because the public's memory is sketchy at best.
It's a good op-ed! There is a lot of false-equivalency going around. Tweet it at @SarahPalinUSA. Don't let her live it down. Remember the #TT #Palindoublethink

Arsenal wing starlet Ryo Miyaichi thinks he has made massive improvements since his move to the Gunners.
The 19-year-old has been tipped for great things at Emirates Stadium by manager Arsene Wenger, but has yet to make a real impact on the first team.
Miyaichi is not worried about a lack of first team football – he has made just two appearances – and will carry on working hard in an attempt to change Wenger's mind over selection.
"I think I've made big strides. Once you come to a big club, you can't walk into the team - I have to work hard every day so that I can play well in the future," he told Arsenal Player.
"Even so during training, being able to practise alongside superstars can only be a good thing. It's important to try to get noticed.
"All I can do is believe in myself and work hard. Otherwise it's up to the boss so I'll just do what I can."
The Japan Under-19 international joined the north London club in 2011 after leaving high school in Japan.
He immediately went out on loan to Dutch side Feyenoord in the Eredivisie due to him likely being unable to attain a work permit in the UK.
A successful spell in Holland for Miyaichi resulted in him receiving the popular moniker 'Ryodinho' after fans likened him to Brazilian Ronaldinho.
He returned to Arsenal at the beginning of this season and secured a work permit under the 'exceptional talent' rule.
Carling Cup games against Shrewsbury Town and Bolton Wanderers were his only two competitive appearances this season.
Wenger has previously suggested Miyaichi will be used more as the season goes on and with Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh absent for Africa Cup of Nations, added to the poor form of Andrei Arshavin and Theo Walcott, he may get an opportunity to shine.

Master's Degree in School Counseling
Become a School Counselor
A Master of Arts, or Licensure Preparation Program, in School Counseling from George Fox University will prepare you to become a professional school counselor. As such, you will combine the roles of mental health professional and educator in working with children in public or private schools.
You will know how to develop, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive developmental school counseling program aligned with the American School Counselor Association's National Model. You will facilitate students' personal/social, career, and academic development through classroom guidance and both individual and group counseling. As an educational leader you will advocate for all students' holistic development and to that end consult and collaborate with parents, teachers, administrators, and other community members.
George Fox's school counseling programs are rooted in the belief that:
- Students have physiological, psychological, relational, spiritual, and educational needs
- School counselors should be able to articulate the integration of their faith with their identity and practice as professional school counselors
- School counselors need to use appropriate and ethical school counseling and guidance skills when working with students, families, schools, and community systems
- School counselors need to possess skills for working effectively and respectfully with students of different ages, diverse backgrounds, varied developmental stages, and varied cognitive, emotional, and physical abilities
- School counselors must think critically, transform practice, and promote justice
Employment Outlook
Graduates of the program can expect favorable job prospects, according to US News & World Report, which ranked school counseling #11 on its " Best Social Services Jobs" list. In addition, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of school and career counselors is projected to grow 13 percent from 2016 to 2016.
There are three paths available to move you toward a K-12 Initial School Counseling License.
Track I: Counseling master's degree available to individuals with 2+ years of documented experience as a licensed Oregon teacher.
Track II: Counseling master's degree available to individuals without 2+ years of licensed teaching experience. Included with Track II is a 6 credit sequence that includes a 200 hour teaching practicum.
Licensure Only: Certificate in school counseling available to individuals with a master's degree in a mental health profession.
Advantages of the George Fox School Counseling Program
- Courses taught from a systemic perspective
- Opportunities to interact with students who are pursuing other mental health professions
- An environment that encourages the integration of faith and learning
- Prepares grads for a blended professional identity as both educational leaders and mental health professionals
- Full time, accessible, widely trained faculty
- Flexible schedules (day, evening and weekend classes) for working adults
- Two-, three-, and four-year program options
- A convenient Portland Center location
- Accredited by Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP)

On almost the same day last month, two similar products came out that seem inevitable in retrospect. They're point-and-shoot cameras with the Android operating system built right in, so all (well, most) of the apps that Android phones can run, these things can run.
There's photo sharing, of course. But there's also social networking, games, organizers, office document editors, all kinds of stuff. Smartphones all have cameras built into them, so putting Android on an actual camera camera with a larger zoom lens and capable image sensor just makes sense.
The cameras have a lot in common, but also enough differences to make it a legitimate choice between the two. Let's take a look.
Nikon COOLPIX S800c
16 megapixels
10x optical zoom
At a suggested retail price of $349, the S800c is a pretty good camera in its own right with those specs. The touchscreen is 3.5 inches, the same as an iPhone's, but this thing is much thicker than an iPhone. It runs Android version 2.3.3, which isn't the newest, but is still the most common version on phones. It stores everything on 1.7GB of internal memory and whatever SD/SDHC card you put in.
It also has a built-in GPS, so you can tag your photos with the exact location where they were taken. And since still photos are so passé, you can record 1080p HD video as well. To communicate with the outside world, the camera has Wi-Fi, so you can zap your pictures to Facebook or Instagram or whatever the kids are using these days.
As far as regular camera features go, the lens aperture is f/3.2-5.8, which is, well, good, but nothing spectacular. There's even a mini HDMI port for showing your pictures or video on a large TV — though you can only choose resolutions up to 1080i, not the full 1080p you can record in. Weird.
Samsung Galaxy Camera
16 megapixels
21x optical zoom
Right away, with that powerful zoom lens, you can infer one main thing about the Samsung camera compared to the Nikon: it's bigger. And boy is it. With a 4.8-inch touchscreen on the back, it's as large as many Android smartphones, but again, much thicker.
Samsung is a bit stingier on exact specifications, but a little research online revealed an f2.8-5.9 lens, which is a little better than Nikon's, especially with the longer zoom range. It also shoots 1080p video (according to DPReview.com), as well as slow motion video at 420p and 120 frames per second, or one-quarter normal speed. Storage is also an improvement over Nikon: 8GB internal and a microSDHC slot.
If all these features make it sound like Samsung's trying to make up for a photographic reputation somewhat less auspicious than Nikon's, keep reading. The camera runs Android 4.1, also known by its code name Jellybean — the latest available. Plus, in addition to Wi-Fi, the thing has a micro SIM card slot so you can add it as a data-only device to your cellular contract. Of course, you'll pay for all this; suggested retail price is around $600.
Is there room in the market for these cameras with better lenses than phones, but no phone functionality, but lots of other app functionality? Only sales figures will tell.
Show me your cool pictures by tweeting them to @CitizenjaQ on Twitter.

Update: The Hatmaker family's HGTV series, now titled My Big Family Renovation, premieres August 7.
Even in Austin, Texas, a city proud of "keeping it weird," Jen Hatmaker and her family of seven live a distinctly weird life. The writer and speaker calls their weekends a "crazy chaotic show, from Friday to Monday," as she flies between Christian conferences before joining her husband, Brandon, at their Free Methodist church plant for worship each Sunday.
Amid quippy asides and Instagram photos of everyone smiling wide, Hatmaker chronicles her family—three kids "the old-fashioned way" and two adopted from Ethiopia in 2011—on her popular blog. Her 2012 book, 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess (B&H Publishing), remains a bestseller as it follows her family's 30-day fasts to combat excessive consumption.
"Jen is not merely a writer or a speaker. She makes readers laugh, but she also makes them uncomfortable in their complacency," said Jennifer Lyell, trade book publisher at B&H. "She leads them to conviction, but she also reminds them of the grace that binds."
This summer, the Hatmakers' family, faith, and 105-year-old farmhouse will debut on cable TV. HGTV reached out to Hatmaker last June, after she appeared on the Today show to discuss her blog post confessing to being the "worst end-of-school-year-mom ever."
"We told HGTV, 'Listen, we are super-Christian, you guys. This is not gray. We're all the way. Brandon's a pastor, I'm a Christian author and speaker—this is who we are,' " she said. "They said, 'Yes. All of it.' That's how they're portraying us on the ...1


text: I'm fascinated by all the "what's in your bag" videos and photo groups out there, and thought it would be interesting to see what's in people's FJ's. I would like to purchase one but I can't figure out what do with it. (I feel the same way about Moleskine journals. It may have been the book of choice for Hemingway, but so far after looking through a bunch of "What's in your Moleskine?" groups I've come to the conclusion that there's nothing in them, just a bunch of sketches and grocery lists. No one is writing the next great novel, not that I've noticed.) Let's make it a photo thread, cuz we all love photos of other people's stuff. :)

The History of Essential Cuisine
"When I learned about raw living foods, my world changed. People said my signs of aging had reversed. I was in love with my new cuisine, and I was inspired to learn more. My dietary regime expanded into more cooked food, cultured foods, and foods full of high functionality.
Over the years I made it my personal and professional quest to discover all I could about the growing industry of organic and natural foods. While lecturing in schools around the country I combed every health food store for the best products available. I attended natural product trade shows for over a decade and visited milling facilities and organic gardens. I also experimented with my own body and health challenges, as some dietary regimes are not for everyone. I began to enjoy the best of all worlds and create a cuisine for the twenty first century – a regime that worked for me in today's busy world.
I took my knowledge into the kitchen and began to whip up quickie meals that would nourish me for the demanding schedule I was keeping. People started noticing my food and I started getting requests for a cookbook! I thought my methods were way too simple to warrant a book, but over time I realized people were starving for some of the knowledge I had to share.
I went on to create menu plans for food service professionals, private resorts and such entities like the Radisson Hotel. I was inspired to share nutritional education along with culinary training. One hardly works without the other, and the two together provide the understanding and tools to make lasting changes.
Whether someone wanted to lose weight, beautify their skin, improve joint health or enhance digestion, they achieved results with my recipes. I went on to teach home chef classes at Laguna Culinary Arts in California, and offer private consulting. With raving responses for the information, taste and quality of the food, I was finally convinced to share my techniques. Essential Cuisine was birthed as a DVD Series, so people could learn by watching.
It is my sincerest desire to help people eat better. There is so much joy in feeling healthy and food is one of the most powerful resources we have for healing mentally, physically and emotionally."

The Classic Box Bag was introduced in 2010, so I've had ample time to examine my feelings on it but somehow just haven't. I've always known I thought it was beautiful–I've never seen a version of it that made me feel skeptical–but until recently, it wasn't a bag I pictured in my own wardrobe. Maybe I'm just a little older now, or my personal taste has evolved just enough to appreciate something so traditionally beautiful not just as an idea, but as a thing I could have and use myself.
If you've never examined one of these bags up close, but I'd certainly recommend it. Not only is the exterior a perfect illustration of Céline's particular sort of chic restraint, but the materials the bag is made with are absolutely gorgeous, both inside and outside. The interior is separated in a way that's always reminded me of the world's most luxurious accordion folder, but with butter-soft lambskin instead of thin cardboard dividers.
The neat interior organization seems fit for a person who has a precise number of small, chic things to put in her bag every day. I, on the other hand, have always been a bit more unruly in my accessories habits, but there's nothing to say I can't evolve. Maybe I can be orderly. Maybe I can be a version of myself that carries this bag. Isn't that, after all, what we're all hoping when we get dressed?
This python version of the bag can be yours for $5,600 via Céline boutiques and department stores, while the basic leather version starts at $3,900.

Daily Slice: Pizza A Go-Go, Portland, Oregon
A different slice profiled each day.
Daily Slice gives a quick snapshot each weekday of a different slice or pie that the folks at the Serious Eats empire have enjoyed lately.
Pizza A Go-Go is a no-frills pizza shop in the north end, striving, per their website, to "Keep Portland Tasty". In this endeavor they appear successful, serving up some satisfying slices to the Williams Avenue set. At first glance, the slices appear quite similar to many other slices you've seen around town. It's what's inside that really brings that promised tastiness to the table. They also claim that their pizzas have the "most happenin' combos around!", making it imperative to sample something with an array of unusually paired ingredients.
The featured meat slice was Jalapeno, Pineapple, and Pepperoni ($3.75) on your standard cheese-and-sauce base. The first (and most intense) sensation to hit the palate was the fiery interplay between the hot peppers and the spicy meat. The way that the pepperoni grease absorbed the chili oils, oozing into the cheese and glazing the crust, was a thing of beauty for a devout pizza-and-chilehead like myself. The pineapple added sweetness to this cousin to the Hawaiian, achieving a hint of balance amongst the toppings. The cheese was applied with a heavy hand, which added a pleasant texture and chew due to the low-moisture content.
The crust was adequate, boasting an attractively-blistered undercarriage and pleasant crispness. The outer edge of the slice was brittle and light, with an airy puff inside; it provided a perfect sauce mop for the chili-infused oil that had settled on the plate. The flavor of the oil-soaked cornicone brought back memories of country fair-style fried dough.
The real highlight of the Pizza A Go-Go slice was their sauce. There was integrity in its simplicity. The sauce was composed of sizable chunks of robust tomatoes in their own well-seasoned juice and a hint of herbs. The tomato element added a natural sweetness to the overall canvas, supporting the more amplified flavors like a true pizza workhorse. For an honest slice with killer sauce (best enjoyed in the summertime on their outdoor patio), Pizza A Go-Go is a damn fine choice.

Panetta Urges Beijing to Resolve Island Spat
Presumed Next President Xi Tells Defense Secretary That Japan Must 'Rein In' Behavior; Ministry Warns of Trade Impact
BEIJING—U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta met Wednesday with China's presumed next leader and urged a peaceful solution to a territorial dispute with Japan, an issue that a Chinese official said could damage coming trade talks and economic ties between the two Asian powers.
It also was the first public international meeting for Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, who is widely expected to become president in a Chinese leadership transition, after he had canceled several others in recent weeks. His appearance, following rumors...

In strictly visual terms Aubade (2007) is a dark movie. Thematically however it is optimistic in a whimsical kind of way. Man finds bird dying, deceased, dead. Definitely dead. In my experience, limited admittedly, birds lying on their backs with claws in the air, tweeting weakly, die. Not in the hands of Pierre Bourrigault. Man takes bird to light bulb on stem and together they visit the desk of the woman with wings at the Animal Repair Works. Much whirring, flashing and a Heath Robinson rustic conveyor system that eventually leads to a branch of a tree that sprouts leaves as the creature passes by, to miraculously recover and soar like a ...... bird. Made in 2D and stop motion, it is entirely shot in silhouette against a backdrop of perpetual dusk, has a set lit by low voltage lighting and characters that maybe are humanoid but I'm betting no money on it. The movie sort of unfolds before our eyes. I use a word like whimsical; in fact the short is played straight, dead straight and I enjoyed it, particularly given a pleasant soundtrack by the young Italian classical guitarist and composer, Lorenzo Tomio. After being educated in fashion and design in La Rochelle, Paris, Pierre worked for over twenty years in the fashion and advertising industry, with major clients such as Benetton and Diesel. His website is ultra cool - scroll sideways and click on the various illustrations and fashion items that, were it not for the free fall of the British pound, I would want more of. I know of no other animation from the director.
This is the music performed by Monkeyworks recorded in the studio. It is all improvised. Please listen with headphones for a more fulfilling audio experience.

Highway corridor fee could add up to valuable improvements
Mayors on the East Side of Summit County are justifiably upset. They say their constituents are paying money into a fund from which they receive no benefits. Their complaints zero in on a $10 charge that is tagged onto Summit County residents' annual vehicle registration renewal fees. The money goes into the state-held Local Corridor Preservation Fund where it is supposedly earmarked for future highway improvements in the county where it is collected.
Apparently the mayors believe that, because of the restrictions on how the funds can be used, they will never see a return on their money.
As proposed when the fund was created by the state Legislature in 2005, the money was to be spent primarily on land acquisition to facilitate access points for new development along state highways. In those days, Utah was experiencing a surge in population growth and Summit County was feeling the impacts. Choosing to collect the fee seemed like a good idea.
Since then the county's growth rate has stalled. In fact, according to the 2010 Census Coalville saw a decrease in population. So the mayors may have a point when they say that they don't have any projects that qualify for the funds.
But we think it would hasty to dismiss the fund altogether. In fact, a bill has been introduced in the current legislative session that could loosen the restrictions to include transportation planning. We'd like to see those restrictions loosened even more.
Coalville, Oakley, Kamas, Francis and Henefer all share their main thoroughfares with state highways, and therefore could benefit greatly from corridor improvements.
Coalville has been very proactive in enhancing its Main Street, and if that project did not qualify for Local Corridor funds, it should have. And recently, Kamas was faced with a controversy over installation of a string of huge new power poles along its Main Street corridor. It would have been helpful if the funds could have been used to offset some of the costs to bury those lines.
At the very least, Summit County should be allowed to apply its share of the growing Local Corridor Preservation Fund toward planning for future challenges like the anticipated increase in oil tanker traffic. And even in the absence of development, communities should be allowed to use the funds to address infrastructure improvements, mass transit and alternative transportation. That is some of the language we would like to see included in the new bill, H.B. 11.
The East Side mayors have raised a ruckus and we are glad they did.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

Fisheries: Commission moves to protect sharks
Today, the European Commission adopted the first ever EU Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks. The aim of the plan is to ensure that effective steps are taken to help rebuild shark stocks wherever they are under threat, if necessary on a precautionary basis, and to set down guidelines for the sustainable management of the fisheries concerned, including those where shark are taken as by-catch. The plan also includes measures to improve scientific knowledge of shark stocks and shark fisheries. The measures set out cover not only sharks, but also related species, such as skates and rays, and will apply wherever the EU fleet operates, both within and outside European waters. The Commission is also committed to working to ensure that the EU's action in international bodies and agreements is coherent with its policy on sharks at home.
European Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Joe Borg commented: "Sharks are very vulnerable to overexploitation and the consequences of depleting their numbers may have very serious consequences not only for sharks but also for marine ecosystems and for fishermen themselves. That is why we have set out a plan of action today which will both establish a more precautionary approach to managing fisheries where sharks are caught, and support the substantial research still needed to understand fully the role sharks play in the life of our oceans and the impact which fishing may have on them."
The Action Plan includes measures to improve data collection and scientific advice, strengthen management and technical measures, and to further reinforce control of the shark finning ban, which came into force in EU waters, and for all EU vessels wherever they fish, in 2003. It includes measures to be implemented at both EU and Member State level and proposes that the EU seek their endorsement by all relevant Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs). A full list of the measures proposed can be found in the link below.
The Plan covers all cartilaginous fish – not only sharks, but also skates, rays and chimaeras, which make up over 1,000 species in total. They are found throughout the world, and particularly in the Northern Atlantic Ocean, where more than 50% of shark catches by EU vessels are made. Shark fisheries have grown rapidly since the mid-1980s, driven by an increased demand for shark products (fins in particular). But these species are especially vulnerable to overfishing, since they are long-lived, slow to reach sexual maturity, have long gestation periods and a low fertility rate. A recent study by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature suggests that as many as one-third of the shark species caught in EU waters are currently threatened by excessive fishing pressure. Despite the fragility of these stocks, and their growing importance to the EU fleet, EU shark fisheries have never been managed systematically. In recent years, the Commission has recognised the worrying condition of a number of shark stocks and proposed either zero catches, or substantial reductions in fishing mortality, both within the EU, and in several RFMOs.
The EU Action Plan for sharks is based on extensive consultations with Member States, stakeholders and the public during 2007 and 2008. The Plan is structured along the lines proposed by the FAO's International Plan of Action for sharks, adopted in 1999. As required by the FAO Plan, the EU Plan of Action is accompanied by a Shark Assessment Report, which is presented in annex to the Communication.

New Video Captures Common Ground
Among Farmers, Watermen
CBF Film Showcases Farmer Trips to Tangier
to Discuss Farming, Fishing, Clean Water
(RICHMOND, VA)���A new Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) video featuring a Shenandoah Valley farmer and the mayor of Tangier Island shows how people from diverse walks of life can find common ground in clean water and a healthy Chesapeake Bay.
The video, titled "Farmers to the Bay ��� We're All in This Together," documents CBF's Farmer to the Bay program, a series of weekend trips by Shenandoah Valley farmers to remote Tangier Island. CBF sponsored the trips for many years, hosting scores of Valley farmers on weekend excursions to this tiny island community in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay.
The trips feature hands-on Bay exploration, education, and discovery, but the real focus was on meeting and engaging Tangier watermen, the islanders whose livelihoods depend upon clean water and a productive Chesapeake Bay. Informal discussions during the trips ranged from farming to fishing to water quality to life and family challenges. While the trips brought together men and women who live hundreds of miles apart, participants discovered they have much in common and that their worlds are more connected than they realized.
Featured are Mike Bazzle, a beef cattle farmer who owns and operates Mountain Valley Farm in Rockingham County, and Tangier Mayor James "Ooker" Eskridge, an island native who catches and sells crabs, fish, and oysters for a living. Also featured is CBF Watershed Restoration Scientist Libby Norris, who coordinated and led the trips.
"In brief vignettes, the video dramatizes how we really are all in this together," said Norris. "When you get them to sit down over a cup of coffee or a table of steamed crabs, farmers and watermen discover they are very much alike. Everyone wants to be able to raise a family and make a living in a clean, healthy environment. What Farmers to the Bay reveals is that, working together, we can all make a difference."
The nine-minute "Farmers to the Bay" video was produced by The Downstream Project of Berryville, Va., a nonprofit communications group focusing on conservation and environmental awareness. It was made possible with funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, with funds from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through the Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund.

Rigging the rules: GOP drive in nation's capital and Texas to shield DeLay shows contempt for ethics
GOP drive in nation's capital and Texas to shield DeLay shows contempt for ethics in government and the impartial rule of law.
The latest maneuvering on ethics rules by Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives and in Austin revises the old homily about how you play the game being more important than whether you win or lose. The new maxim, explicitly designed to protect House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Sugar Land from possible indictments for campaign law violations, can be summarized as follows:
"When in danger of losing, simply rewrite the rules in the middle of the game to make it impossible for the other side to win."
That's what seems to be happening in Washington, D.C. House Republicans, led by Speaker Dennis Hastert, are pushing a plan to require the House ethics panel, which has an even balance between Republicans and Democrats, to produce a majority vote before it can undertake an ethics investigation. At present, a tie vote would keep a complaint pending. Such a change would have stopped the panel from investigating allegations of campaign finance law violations and issuing several reprimands against DeLay earlier this year.
In another move seen as retaliation for those reprimands, House Republicans are pressing to replace the chair of the ethics panel, Rep. Joel Hefley, a Republican. As chairman, Hefley allowed the DeLay investigation to go forward. According to Fred Wertheimer, president of the government watchdog group Democracy 21, "the removal of Representative Hefley ... would constitute a flat out declaration of war by Speaker Hastert against ethics in the House."
Meanwhile, closer to home, Republican lawmakers in Austin are honing proposed bills to remove authority for prosecuting campaign violations from local district attorneys and vest it with the Texas attorney general. That would stop Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle from prosecuting indicted DeLay associates and put the ball in Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott's court. Another proposal would legalize the corporate contributions that are the focus of Earle's investigation.
Outgoing Houston Congressman Chris Bell brought the first complaint to the House committee in seven years, one that resulted in the DeLay reprimand. The panel also slapped Bell's hand for exaggerating allegations for political gain. Bell says House Republicans' vote to allow DeLay to serve as majority leader even if indicted indicates just how far they are willing to go.
"It seems that they don't believe the rules apply to them, and if they don't like the rules, they will simply work to change them." According to Bell, "the only surprise is that, given the overwhelming public reaction against the previous rules changes, that they would now attempt to go even further."
In scandals involving Democrats, no one proposed changing established congressional rules or rewriting state law to shield officials from the consequences of their actions. Political power may be intoxicating, but those who have drunk too much of it cannot be allowed to alter procedures and laws to suit their whims and immunize their transgressions.

An island or isle is any piece of land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features on atollsare called islets. A key or cay is another name for a small island or islet. An island in a river or lake may be called an eyot. A grouping of geographically or geologically related islands is called an archipelago.
An island may still be described as such despite the presence of a land bridge, for example Singapore and its causeway, or the various Dutch delta islands, such as IJsselmonde. Some places may even retain "island†in their names for historical reasons after being connected to a larger landmass by a wide land bridge, such as Coney Island.
There are two main types of islands: continental islands and oceanic islands. There are also artificial islands. There is no standard of size which distinguishes islands from islets and continents.
The word island comes from Old English igland (from 'ig', similarly meaning 'island' when used independently, and -land carrying its contemporary meaning). However, the spelling of the word was modified in the 15th century by association with the etymologically unrelated Old French loanword isle, which itself comes from the latin word insula. Old English 'ig' is actually a cognate of Latin aqua(water).
Continental islands are bodies of land that lie on the continental shelf of a continent. Examples include Greenland and Sable Island off North America;Barbados and Trinidad off South America; Great Britain, Ireland and Sicily offEurope; Sumatra, Borneo and Java off Asia; and New Guinea, Tasmania and Kangaroo Island off Australia.
A special type of continental island is the microcontinental island, which results when a continent is rifted. Examples are Madagascar and Socotra offAfrica; New Zealand; the Kerguelen Islands; and some of the Seychelles.
Another subtype is an island or bar formed by deposition of tiny rocks where a water current loses some of its carrying capacity. An example is barrier islands, which are accumulations of sand deposited by sea currents on the continental shelf. Another example is islands in river deltas or in large rivers. While some are transitory and may disappear if the volume or speed of the current changes, others are stable and long-lived. Islets are very small islands.

Good Pitch, Fair Terms, Detailed Team
Fund: Granite Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-02-01
I worked with Granite through the summer of '09 from pitch to term sheet. This is a remarkable group of people who were professional, inquisitive and thoughtful. While they didn't initially know the space well, they clearly saw the opportunity, and spent time investigating our operations, our people, and of course the market.
We met mostly with Chris McKay, however we met on multiple occasions with just about everyone at Granite. Each person was professional and courteous, and most importantly, they really worked hard to get to "yes." It's very easy for a VC to get to "no", but it's hard to get to "yes". Granite's team did their work to get to 'yes'.
We had choices between larger funds and even one with, perhaps, a stronger name, but Granite kept rising to the top based on our selection criteria.

Photos have surfaced of the upcoming Ewok Assault Catapult set that's coming to Kmart. The catapult itself is an awesome-looking new sculpt, and the set includes two new (repainted) Ewoks! One is light brown and tan striped with a light blue hood, bringing some diversity in that area, and the other is a brown one that appears to be a big David Bowie fan. It looks like the catapult might have a firing mechanism, given the rope that's seen in the loose shot, but the piece doesn't suffer for it visually. This set looks too damn cool!

Planting the Trees of Kenya: The Story of Wangari Maathai
Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2008 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 32 pages
Wangari Maathai, winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize and founder of the Green Belt Movement, grew up in the highlands of Kenya, where fig trees cloaked the hills, fish filled the streams, and the people tended their bountiful gardens. But over many years, as more and more land was cleared, Kenya was transformed. When Wangari returned home from college in America, she found the village gardens dry, the people malnourished, and the trees gone. How could she alone bring back the trees and restore the gardens and the people?
Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature, says: "Wangari Maathai's epic story has never been told better—everyone who reads this book will want to plant a tree!"
With glowing watercolor illustrations and lyrical prose, Claire Nivola tells the remarkable story of one woman's effort to change the fate of her land by teaching many to care for it. An author's note provides further information about Wangari Maathai and the Green Belt Movement. In keeping with the theme of the story, the book is printed on recycled paper.
