|Time has healed Ken Lucas' facial breaks and bruises; forgiveness has healed his relationship with Steve Smith.
Ken Lucas deserved selection on every 2009 Pro Bowl ballot. This Carolina cornerback is the Christmas Day story of this NFL season. He bestowed upon the Panthers more than four months ago an invaluable Christmas present.
The gift of forgiveness.
It was on Aug. 1 during a training camp practice when Lucas was attacked by teammate and receiver Steve Smith. The Panthers receivers and defensive backs had fiercely battled throughout camp. Smith had griped about being illegally held and bumped during routes. Special teams were on the field when Lucas was on the sideline kneeling as Smith stood over him. Then Smith sucker-punched Lucas at least twice, resulting in a Lucas bruised eye and broken nose.
The Panthers were in crisis.
Sure, Smith would be benched for two games, he would apologize and the Panthers would support Lucas. But, really, the crux of this situation was how Ken Lucas was going to handle it.
|Associated Press
|Steve Smith had to be held back after brutally attacking Ken Lucas in training camp.
» Smith video: 'I made a mistake'
Would he seek instant retaliation? Plot a later retaliation? Conquer and divide the team by demanding teammates choose sides between himself and Smith? Press charges? Press retribution, vengeance, a sordid payback?
Lucas did none of this.
He accepted Smith's apology. He accepted Smith's offer of renewed friendship.
And that set the tone for the Panthers' 11-4 season and chance at New Orleans on Sunday to claim the NFC's No. 2 playoff seed.
How many would choose the path Lucas did?
"It was a much bigger picture for me," Lucas said. "The team was bigger. God's will is bigger. I thought to myself, well, there are a lot of different ways to retaliate. And forgiveness is easy to talk, not easy to do. But I knew it wasn't about what I wanted to accomplish, but what the team wanted to accomplish. I knew if I didn't think any other way, we might not have the chance to be where we are now."
Think about it. Football players are taught aggression and live it on every down. Yet, Lucas was able to separate his most volatile football mentality from his spirituality, his humanity. And produce a solid season at cornerback for the Panthers, to boot.
Former NFL cornerback Troy Vincent says Lucas is a rare man.
"We don't know what escalated things to that point -- there are always three sides to a story," Vincent said. "We do know that Ken Lucas was physically attacked by a teammate and that people saw that on TV highlights not just in America, but around the world. Those pictures will last for his lifetime and beyond. You know how we are. You know how people are, how they judge. Every time that man walked into that facility afterward, every time he has been in public, people remember him being on the ground. People think: 'That's the guy that let someone take advantage of him. That got beat up. That's the guy who got his tail whipped. That got dropped.' That, alone, is a challenge to overcome.
"Someone just basically challenged your manhood in front of your football family? Who wouldn't respond in a confrontational way? It truly shows what he is. He is class, dignity and respect. Yet, that part of it is not a glamorous story. I haven't seen this as anybody's cover story. I don't see that story among the football highlights. This could have been a ticking bomb that exploded among the Panthers for the entire season. But Ken Lucas did a great thing. He forgave. And gets a reward, and so does his team with the kind of season they are having."
Lucas said he has never worried about being the brunt of jokes.
"God takes the negative away," Lucas said. "Any non-believer might not understand that and I realize that. But forgiveness is not just for us. It is for God's glory. I did the right thing."
Lucas turns 30 next month. This is his eighth NFL season and fourth with the Panthers. Seattle selected him in the 2001 draft from Mississippi. He was born in Cleveland, Miss., has 24 career picks and over the last eight years has been a solid NFL cornerback. He has been responsible, professional in his work habits. His post-career goals are to help needy children around the world by building homes and schools and opportunities for them to attend college.
The man stands out more than the player to Pastor Tim Johnson, an NFL defensive tackle from 1987 through 1996 and who helped lead Washington over Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVI.
Johnson is now pastor of the Orlando World Outreach Center.
"That kind of incident can be tragic for any team," Johnson said. "I see many of these young men in the NFL nowadays who are childish and self-absorbed, not a 'we' mindset but a 'me' mindset. There is a clear lack of integrity, professionalism, maturity, not across the board, but too many shenanigans and too much thug mentality and too much Hollywood style.
"And then you get a guy like Ken Lucas. We need to talk more about them. This is a guy who represents me."
Panthers coach John Fox, who suspended Smith for the first two games of the season for punching Lucas, has a gift for building unity on his teams, of making sure they understand that their strength is in their numbers. The group makes the individual strong, Fox preaches, and his players respond. This is the culture of the team he and his coaches and management have built in Carolina.
Ken Lucas took it to a higher level.
He is the NFL's Christmas Day story.
"Me and Steve have a friendship off the field that wasn't there before and I am thankful for that," Lucas said. "Family and friends have brought their problems more to me since this happened, seeking advice. I can give them the example of myself. What is good for mankind? That is a question we should always answer before acting. The glory is not for us."
Lucas talked about the Saints game, a huge one after that intense battle against the Giants last Sunday night where the Panthers lost in overtime.
"The Giants game reinforced to us that we can go as far as we want to go," Lucas said. "We have to dust ourselves off -- and get ready for the next thing."
Something Lucas has already done.

Since 1999, Washington State LASER has been instrumental in laying the foundation for high-impact systems and practices to support science/STEM learning for students. The LASER theory of action–which creates impact toward a common vision supported by curriculum, instructional materials, professional learning, assessment, and community/administration–has provided an essential framework for guiding efforts by science educators and district leaders.
Over time–and bolstered by our state's Next Generation Science Standards implementation plan–many of these systems and practices have been institutionalized within educational service districts, school districts, and schools. Additionally, our state has leveraged multiple other resources and programs. A few examples: Math-Science Partnerships have supported pockets of innovation in professional learning and curriculum; Regional Science Coordinators and Science Fellows lead science/STEM efforts in every Educational Service District; STEM Networks help build coherence across business/industry, education, and policy; and many districts and schools benefit from instructional materials cooperatives.
Concurrently, what we know about how people learn and equity, diversity, and inclusion has improved the quality of systems and practices employed by leaders, districts, and schools toward ensuring all students are science- and STEM-literate and have a fair shot at high-demand, family-sustaining opportunities in our state. This research, data, and awareness also lets us know we still have much work to do.
The ecosystem of science/STEM education continues to change in Washington. Washington State LASER is uniquely positioned to identify systemic gaps and opportunities, and to evolve the LASER model and associated support services to account for new players, systems, and resources in the K-12 science/STEM education. This body of work is essential in our collective vision of a future- and career-ready Washington.

The best Brando biography ever, focusing on his films and acting, by Time film critic Schickel (Intimate Strangers, 1986, etc.).
Schickel's opening chapter speaks directly to "Marlon Brando'' and apologizes for writing about him, saying Brando's privacy will not be invaded and explaining that this book was signed for six years ago and finished before Christian Brando was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. A quixotic chapter--it is unlikely that Brando will ever read it, and it addresses him with a strained intellectuality that Schickel's warm intentions cannot overcome. It's strange that Schickel misjudges his ideal reader, the revered actor himself, when his eye for following the actor's evolution stays clear and on target, and grows more lively as the book gathers complexity and responds to suboceanic waves in Brando's career while ignoring tons of personal anecdotes that earlier bios served up with ribbons. This is a book of ideas and of Schickel's generously open-spirited mythomania for Brando, the idol of a generation. Its flaws are few: a low estimate of Apocalypse Now; the slip that Brando falls to his death from a balcony in Last Tango in Paris; such disgust with The Appaloosa that Schickel forgets to name the picture. Schickel pauses at major turnings in Brando's career to weigh the actor's talents, how fearlessly he used his sense of risk and danger and shocking power of improvisation; how strongly his childhood as the son of two alcoholics shaped both his personal life and his genius; how he repressed his best self. The last chapter, in court and with Brando unchained before the press, saving his son from excess ink by taking it on himself, is quite moving.
Loving, worthy, absorbing, at times wonderfully revisionist about acting, the Brando book we've waited for. Now let Brando bring coherence to his life in his forthcoming autobiography.

Become a Founder's Club Member
FOPAS opened its doors to lost and abandoned pets in 1999 with a promise to care for them until adopted. Utilizing a shed by the railroad tracks, a small group of volunteers fed, walked and loved any cat or dog that came their way. When the shed would hold no more, they solicited foster homes. When the foster homes would hold no more, they found a larger facility and during this time the dedicated volunteers kept coming. Today volunteers care for, until adopted, over 400 animals a year.
Again, it is time for FOPAS to grow. We are looking for land located in Parkville or Platte County. On this land we will construct a new shelter. This specially designed shelter will allow volunteers to efficiently provide safe and comfortable care for over 100 dogs and cats while they wait for adoption.
We are offering a one time opportunity to contribute to the Founder's Fund and be recognized as one of only a few initial supporter of this new facility. Contributions will be honored in a prominent locaton in the entry of the facility.

Just in case you were looking for a new gig, here's some great news. According to the National Ledger,Jay Z and Beyonce are looking for a new nanny for their 18-month-old daughter, Blue Ivy.
The power couple doesn't want just anyone caring for Baby Blue though, they are requesting a nanny who speaks fluent French and who's willing to travel around the world with hip-hop's royal family. Honestly, how can we apply?
Jay and Bey are enlisting the advice of famous friend Gwyneth Paltrow in the search for the perfect nanny. But we here at GlobalGrind thought we'd help them streamline the process by writing down some of the (imagined) requirements needed. Here they go:
Must be able to recite bedtime stories in one take – Jay Z is famously known for laying verses in one take without writing them down, so this nanny has some difficult shoes to fill.
Need to have an awesome alter ego with an equally awesome name – We all see the greatness that is Sasha Fierce, so get ready to bring it.
Keep a pacifier on hand just in case Kanye West and his daughter Nori stop by – We don't need North (or Kanye) fighting Blue for her binky. (Just kidding!)
Must have broken at least one record – Not only have Beyonce and Jay shattered records of their own respectively, but Baby Blue has also joined the ranks by becoming the youngest person to appear on the Billboard music chart. Try that on for size.
Must know how to navigate throughout Brooklyn seamlessly – We know that Jigga put BK on his back and has been carrying it for sometime now. The borough is also home to Blue's auntie, Solange.
Must be willing to throw up the dynasty sign if joining this Roc-la-familia.
Have to be in shape – Seeing that Beyonce has literally one of the hottest bodies in the game, and has joined First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move Campaign," the prospect will surely need to keep fit.
Must be an art connoisseur – Baby Blue has a budding art collection that rivals some of the elite. Papa Jay confirmed this in his smash hit "Picasso Baby," saying "Yellow Basquiat in my kitchen counter. Go head, lean on that s*i$ Blue, you own it."
Know just what to say to get Rick Rubin off the couch – Come on, we all saw those Samsung-Magna Carta commercials….
Side Note: Must be able to perform all tasks in 6" heels – Have you ever been to a Beyonce concert? It speaks for itself.
Surely, the prospect has some big shoes to fill, but we all know the perks will be well worth it (if you have any doubts of this, check out Beyonce's amazing Tumblr page). Get your apps in now!
Be sure to tune into the Midday's weekly 10am-3pm with RoDigga!

July 21, 2002, Section 7, Page 6Buy Reprints
By Adam Haslett.
240 pp. New York:
Nan A. Talese/Doubleday. $21.95.
WHATEVER troubles me about the nine stories in Adam Haslett's first collection, or about the sensibility of their youngish author (he's in his early 30's), has nothing to do with quality -- let me make that clear. You should buy this book, you should read it, and you should admire it as much as I do. There's not a clinker in the group, and this consistency, along with the maturity and the austerity and the exceptional tact of the writing, gives every indication that unless something goes radically haywire, ''You Are Not a Stranger Here'' is the herald of a phenomenal career. But who knows? As it happens, Haslett has just finished his second year at Yale Law School. He can hear his calling better than I can.
Yet while it's easy to laud the collection and to foresee a future of laurels for its author, this is not a debut you should envy. Haslett may have talent to burn and the grades to get him into Yale, but his prose exudes a desolation so choking that it can come only from somewhere deep inside. These are short stories that T. S. Eliot or Samuel Beckett might have come up with if they'd written conventional fiction about middle-class people. But then Eliot had his Christianity and Beckett his I-can't-go-on-I'll-go-on resolve. Haslett has despair. And I don't mean the histrionic despair of discouraged youth. He writes stories of loss and illness, especially mental illness, and peoples them with the vanquished, the crazy and the soon to die -- characters for whom there's no redemption. Not that they need redeeming, exactly. They're mostly good people, people with the will to do good who, amid all the misery they've been handed, have held on to their souls. Hopelessness hasn't scarred them with cynicism or rage. If there's a ray of light in these stories, here it is.
Haslett writes like a man inured to disappointment -- that is, like a man in middle age. In fact, he's never more convincing than when his characters are older, as in the two showpieces of the collection, the opening story, ''Notes to My Biographer,'' and the final one, ''The Volunteer.'' The latter, the most recently written of the nine, shows the author moving in the direction of the novel (and he's said he's got one in mind): it has a double point of view, overlapping plot lines and enough incident to fill considerably more than its 44 pages. It also has an emotion that cuts even deeper than the desiccating bleakness of most of the others: a beautiful, fully earned, lump-in-the-throat sadness. The story follows the friendship of a mature schizophrenic and the heartsick high school volunteer who visits her in the institution where she's voluntarily incarcerated herself (so the title could refer to either of them). As you read you don't know who's got it harder, the young or the old -- there's an almost comical parity in the parceling out of grief.
Two adjacent stories treat physical illness. ''Reunion'' (another title with multiple meanings) offers a dryly humane portrait of a young Englishman dying of AIDS. (Haslett was partly educated in Britain, and four of the nine stories are set there.) ''War's End,'' in which a suicidally depressed man finds himself drawn into the orbit of a grotesquely suffering child, is among the riskiest of the stories in its open flirtation with sentimentality; it might easily tumble over the edge if bleakness weren't such a reliable prophylactic against tears. ''The Beginnings of Grief,'' one of several gay-themed stories as well as one of several that involve orphanhood, centers on the masochistic entanglement into which a bereaved high school kid manipulates the angry classmate he has a crush on. ''Devotion,'' the story immediately following, is about orphaned adults -- a middle-aged English brother and sister who, years after falling in love with the same man, have only each other; the final twist is clever, pathetic and almost achingly wise.
The rest of the book deals mostly with mental illness, often inherited. (''Divination,'' a story about a Cassandra-like boy who seems to have received the gift of prophecy -- if you can call it a gift -- from his father, treats foresight as though it were a variety of mental illness.) This theme, whose prevalence suggests that the author has seen craziness up close, supplies the ruling metaphor for the collection: a debilitating, humiliating, alienating condition -+breaker of hearts, killer of promise, burier of goals -- that can be escaped only through death; a condition, in other words, that's very much like life.
Haslett writes precise, pulled-back sentences that go down without a fuss. Only when his characters are truly out of control does color start to seep in. Elizabeth Maynard, in ''The Volunteer,'' stops taking her medication, and the next morning she ''wakes to colors more vivid: the Oriental carpet's swirls of burgundy and gold; dawn kindling the sky an immaculate blue.'' Without having fully worked out the metaphor (and it's better that way), Haslett is on the side of those who refuse to take their meds; brighter colors need no defending in the context of his brownish prose.
THE first story, ''Notes to My Biographer,'' is nearly all bright colors. In terms of technique, it should probably have gone last (even though ''The Volunteer'' is lovely) because its exuberance sticks out, leading you to expect a range the other stories hardly hint at. It's the only story that comes close to being fun (which doesn't mean it isn't devastating), because it's written in the cracked, alarmingly self-confident voice of a 73-year-old nut case who starts off doing 90 -- ''I have shot Germans in the fields of Normandy, filed 26 patents, married three women, survived them all, and am currently the subject of an investigation by the I.R.S., which has about as much chance of collecting from me as Shylock did of getting his pound of flesh. Bureaucracies have trouble thinking clearly. I, on the other hand, am perfectly lucid'' -- and doesn't let up until the concluding paragraphs. It's funny, it's awful, and it's the only one of the stories in this collection that gave me some hope that their creator might be able to draw some pleasure out of the spectacular career that (if he wants it) he's surely heading into.

Ramona Singer Takes The Stage This Saturday
The NYC 'Wife translates her dating rules into an Off Broadway role.
Ramona Singer is acting up again. The Real Housewife of New York City will make her Off-Broadway debut this Saturday at the 5 p.m. performance of Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage.
"The producers of the show knew about my 'Dating Rules for Marriage', so they asked me to appear in the play as they thought it was an appropriate match," Ramona tells The Dish. "Mario and I went to see the show first, and I have to say I loved it! We could not stop laughing!"
But the producers weren't joking when they offered to make her the leading lady. "After meeting me, they actually asked me to take on the starring role of Miss Abigail for a few months! There was just no way I could block off that much of my schedule. So they said, 'OK, how about one night as Miss Abigail? You're the perfect fit.' So we settled for this one night cameo. I was so flattered."
On Saturday, Ramona will play herself while Mario, Avery, and a couple familiar Housewives faces cheer her on from the audience. After the curtain closes, the Pinot maven and crew will head next door to toast her theater debut at the Paramount and then head uptown for dinner at Crown 81.
"I'm not so sure about TV acting," Ramona says about getting bit by the bug. "I like to be myself. I would like to host or co-host a show where people come to me with different problems or dilemmas and I give my opinions and advice. We all know how strongly opinionated I am."
Just don't rule out seeing her bask in the Off-Broadway lights once again. "It's so different, and I think it's going to be a lot of fun. You never know."
Well, her dance moves could certainly translate to some big numbers.

We had a squad of us hitchhiking this summer; paired into two teams we hitchhiked from Rome to a small area near Grossetto where we were doing workaway at a farm. Living in a cosy yurt, waking up early, eating breakfast with the eggs from the chickens and ducks, working in the field, meditating by the river and meeting neighbours in the countryside was the most nourishing experience.
From there we hitched up to Sienna, slept in a park full of rowdy party-goers, then to Bologna to stay with a friend, up to a suburb of Milan, down to Genova to jam with some new found friends and couchsurf in a lovely flat of a man dressed as a matador, who owned an extensive collection of manga novels and a pet tortoise. Then struggling for 6 hours to get a ride out of Genova and sleeping on a beach in Savona. From there getting a ride with a lovely Hungarian man who offered us a place to stay, and then getting a ride all along the coast of Italy towards France with a couple of dudes driving close to 100km to get to a head shop and sharing their joints with us as they kept rolling them all the way, blasting reggae with the windows down.
I've learned that it's not a good idea to hitchhike when you're in a rush. In this case, we had a bus to catch from Paris that would take us to London. And we were rushing our way through France. But I did learn how wonderful and exciting hitchhiking is, regardless of how exhausting it may be. Sure, there were some rides that weren't all that memorable. A lot of times you forget about that part of the journey and don't remember the faces of who gave you a lift, you might not even talk much. But the fact that people are so open and willing to lend a hand to a stranger without receiving anything in return is a beautiful experience. And, on the whole, the rides we get are with such interesting and lovely people.
Besides meeting fabulous people, and traveling for free, hitchhiking is also fantastic for its environmental benefits. There isn't any extra carbon being emitted for your transport. These people are traveling regardless, cars on the motorway are so often driven by just one person, with so many empty seats in the car. Hitchhiking reduces more people taking the bus or driving themselves. Bonus!

Subscribe To Jack Ryan Photo Shows Chris Pine On The Move Updates
I've already subscribed
While we have well over a year before we see Tom Clancy's character Jack Ryan back on the big screen, we now have a look at Chris Pine in the role. Pine will play the lead in Jack Ryan, a reboot directed by Kenneth Branagh, which will take us back to the earlier days of the character.
Jack Ryan will star Pine as Ryan, (a role previously played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck in previous feature adaptations of Clancy's novels), along with Kiera Knightley and Kevin Costner. The film will tell the story of a younger Ryan, when he was working in Moscow and learned that his boss is financing a terrorist plot.
Earlier this week, we learned that the film will make its way into theaters December 25, 2013. And today, Coming Soon shared a first look photo of Pine as Ryan (click the image to view the bigger version)…
There he is, riding in downtown Manhattan during what's presumably not a very cold day, given that he's gone without a jacket. He's also without a helmet, which makes me wonder if this was a quick getaway on someone else's bike. Or am I grasping for clues here?
We have plenty of time to speculate, as we await the film's Christmas 2013 release.

BACKLASH: Here's What Democrats Are Saying About Pelosi's Political Stunt On Illegal Immigrants
"Virtually everyone trying to win seats outside of California feels she has hurt their chances."
House Democratic lawmakers are reportedly enraged at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's decision to give an unprecedented eight-hour speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday, saying that she hurt many of her Democratic colleagues who are running in 2018.
Pelosi vowed to stand and speak until Republicans gave in to her demands to protect illegal aliens who were brought to the United States by their parents as minors. However, Pelosi's speech appears to have deepened the fracture in the Democratic Party over the issue of immigration.
Politico interviewed almost a dozen House Democrats, several of whom only spoke on the condition on anonymity so they could give honest responses about their opinion of Pelosi's stunt. Many agreed that she was trying to "shore up support with the progressive base" who feel Democrats have failed to do enough to protect Dreamers. "By agreeing to the spending caps deal, [Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL)] and others argued, Democrats gave up all their leverage to force Republicans into serious negotiations to shield Dreamers from deportation," Politico explains.
Others believe her eight-hour filibuster-style speech just made life more difficult for many Democrats:
Some centrist-minded Democrats said Pelosi's daylong protest could — by calling attention to the failure to provide relief for Dreamers — make it that much harder for vulnerable members to vote for the budget deal. ...
"This stunt ... had nothing to do with protecting vulnerable members who have to take a difficult vote," said one moderate lawmaker who asked not to be named. "Working out this deal and then saying she's not going to vote for it? Come on. She was at the table." ...
All House Democrats are supportive of Dreamers. But several members, particularly centrists, are wary of using the immigration issue as a campaign cudgel, worried it could derail Democrats' chances of taking back the House.
Gutiérrez, who is retiring at the end of this year, slammed Pelosi, saying, "There's all kinds of ways, I assure you, that leadership exercises its influence — the least of which is a floor speech."
Pelosi's speech also pits her directly against Senate Democrats who just reached a budget deal which did not include provisions on immigration.
Another House Democrat told Bloomberg, "Many of our members are furious. We have spent the last three weeks insisting that we don't want to shut the government down over DACA, and she essentially made the whole thing about it. Virtually everyone trying to win seats outside of California feels she has hurt their chances."
During her speech, Pelosi ratcheted up the rhetoric by praising illegal immigrants for breaking the law and stating that the U.S. was in their debt.

There's nothing better than sitting down with your favourite savoury and crunchy snack after a long day. Of course, you don't want to eat too many, so eating crisps that are low-fat helps curb our appetite without the guilt. Which is why we at The Amazing Blog were excited when Fairfields Farm sent us two of their Tortilla Crisp packs: Jalapeno & Lime and Nacho Cheese.
Fairfields Farm specialises in making vegetarian and vegan-friendly products that are low in fat and high in protein. Their crisps are also gluten-free. Not only are these crisps healthy, they're also delicious! We loved the refreshing taste of the Jalapeno & Lime. The cool lime mixed with the spicy jalapeno is the perfect combination to wake up your mouth.
And with the Nacho Cheese pack you don't have to reach for the tortilla chips and dip because this pack has everything you need from mouth-watering nacho cheese to crunchy crisps.
Snack without the guilt with Fairfield's Tortilla Crisps. Purchase the Nacho Cheese here and the Jalapeno & Lime here.

The artist Elma Selman received a residency in the Ultima Vez studios in Brussels. She worked on the performance surrounding herself with different inputs. Through the residency, she met Hildegard Devuyst, dramatist of the KVS with whom she talked about the dramaturgy of theatre / dance performances and she was invited to some of the rehearsals which she held with a group of young Palestinians while working on a dance performance.
Elma Selman:
"My goal which I wanted to reach on this residency was to put the performance in a different surrounding to question the method and the language I was using, and since my performance deals greatly with emigration and position of an artist in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I found working in Brussels very fruitful. The topic which I was working on suddenly got another, very different layer. I started looking on the emigration from the immigrant's point of view, also trying to find universal code of reaching a "goal" itself. That made me think of a "goal reaching" as a sort of emigration, and for me it seemed as art and making of art is an emigration without or with quite unknown "goal"-final destination, where this process of migrating is understood after the "goal" is reached."
At the end of the residency, Elma Selman had a showing of the performance in a studio at Ultima Vez, after which she had a talk about the piece itself and about process of making it.
Besides finishing the performance she started working on a new idea of women as subjects and objects in arts. After the residency she plans to start applying with the performance to the festivals, first in Balkan region and then wider.

Carly and Steve's wedding took place at Carly's family farm. Their invitations needed to have a definite outdoors look which we combined with a classic floral design. Carly's colour palette was composed of emerald green, amethyst purple and sapphire blue which is what made this design stand out most. We stayed on budget by keeping the format and printing simple. And we made the ensemble consistent and fresh by using a white felt textured cardstock throughout.

The ICC's Office of the Prosecutor and intermediaries: a controversial relationship
This is the second in a series of articles delving into the challenges faced by prosecutors at the International Criminal Court. In our last issue [IJT-176], Tjitske Lingsma explored why the ICC seems afflicted by untruthful witnesses. In the third article, we examine the growing importance of technological evidence, like phone records and computer data, to reduce the reliance on witness testimony.
The term 'intermediaries' has littered nearly all trials at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) has been relying on locals in its cases to contact witnesses. This practice of using these intermediaries has proved to be problematic, experts say. Several intermediaries have also been suspected by judges of influencing witnesses.
ICC cases so far reveal how the OTP has sought to undertake short investigative missions and to depend on local intermediaries for their contacts with witnesses. The OTP's investigators barely set foot in Kenya during its first years of investigating six Kenyans, says Caroline Buisman, lawyer for journalist Joshua Sang. "Investigators came sporadically and instead of conducting their own independent investigations, they relied on … human rights reports," she tells IJT. Security concerns kept the prosecution from travelling to Darfur.

Why Take a Gap Year?
Why Take a Gap Year?
The transition between high school and college is a weighty one, and it may seem like taking a gap year means "missing out" or "falling behind." In fact, research says much the opposite!
The Gap Year Association defines a gap year as a structured period of time where students pause their formal education to increase self-awareness, challenge comfort zones, and experiment with possible careers. Originating in the U.K. in the 1970's, gap years have become increasingly common in the U.S. and around the world.
The top two reasons students themselves give for taking a gap are:
Burnout from competitive academic pressure
Desire to find out more about themselves before college life
Beyond these two, there are plenty of other reasons to consider:
1. Structured Gap Year participants get more out of college
Research indicates that students who take a gap year graduate college with a higher GPA than their counterparts. They are more likely to complete their degree within 4 years. Finally, they are more able to identify colleges and universities that fit their personalities and career ambitions, and to accurately choose courses of study that engage them. (See Benefits of Taking a Gap Year from the AGA).
2. Ninety-eight percent of colleges and universities accept deferrals for structured gap years
Harvard, Princeton, University of North Carolina, and Colorado College are just some of the many institutions that not only accept but encourage students to take gap years.
3. Ninety percent of students who take a gap year go to college or university within one year
This means that, nationally, gap year participants are more likely to pursue college or university than their peers.
See Gap Year Data from the AGA for much more statistical information regarding gap years.
Statistics aren't everything. Anecdotal evidence abounds regarding the value of experiential education, adapting to new environments, and taking time to identify what truly matters to each individual--academically and otherwise
(see 10 Reasons… from the Huffington Post Travel).
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Gap at Glen Brook is for those who see the world as it is, and want to see it changed. For those who want to embody their values and, in so doing, change their own lives. For those who ask big questions that survive your attempts to answer them. For those who are craving something more, something deeper. For those willing to rise to the challenge of knowing and developing their inner world, and along with it the confidence to meaningfully impact the world around them.
Gap at Glen Brook is for those who seek to experience the fulfillment of a hand-made, simply-lived, purpose-driven life. For those who want to root down into the land through wilderness connection and farming. For those who want to learn to sustain themselves with whole foods, as well as with practical manual skills. For those who want to feel what it can be to live in a whole community, and to be its responsible stewards.
Gap at Glen Brook does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, or gender expression. We are not a wilderness therapy program; neither therapeutic nor adjudicated youth are allowed. We do not pay commissions on referrals.
We'll take many day-trips and extended excursions in our explorations of New England and the Monadnock region: from the lakes of the Mahoosuc Range in Maine to the cliffs of nearby Marlow, and to many other places besides. On all of our adventures, we make sure to follow the appropriate participant-to-staff ratios:
Overnight Backpacking: 8 to 1
Winter Camping: 6 to 1
Top-rope Climbing: 6 to 1
Flat-water Paddling: 6 to 1
Students who have prescribed medications are responsible for maintaining their medications safely, and for maintaining their medication regimen. Gap at Glen Brook staff will help students find safe and appropriate locations for storage, and will check in intermittently with students about their medications, but ultimately we expect all students to care for themselves in this way—they know their own medication needs best, after all!
All driving during Gap at Glen Brook is done by our licensed and approved staff. Please do not bring a car for your son or daughter—they won't need it! Also, please note that transportation via motorcycle, ATV, or quad is not allowed while on program.
Yes. We call our non-negotiables the "Red Rules:"
NO exclusive relationships or sexual contact between gappers. Friendships contribute to the group; couples detract from the group experience. Couples want to get away and there is jealousy and envy. When the relationship goes sour, the tension that develops makes everyone uncomfortable. Intimate sexual activity is not allowed.
NO behavior that is disruptive or injurious to yourself or other Gap at Glen Brook participants. Harassment or bullying, fighting, and the use of inappropriate language put others at risk and unravel our commitments to the group.
NO possession, use, or distribution of alcohol, tobacco, and/or drugs. Tobacco, drugs, alcohol, or anything illegal are not allowed.
Any violation of the Red Rules is grounds for dismissal from Gap at Glen Brook.
Gap at Glen Brook aims to help young adults develop their whole person in an environment with minimal screen influence. We believe that when we are less engaged with our screens, we are more available to the present moment and to our direct experience of a place. To us, the chance to "unplug" or nearly unplug for several weeks at a time is a unique opportunity that someone who comes of age in the 21st century might never otherwise get to enjoy and learn from.
We consume a "low-tech diet" at Glen Brook. Like taxi and take-off on an airplane, phone use is limited, and laptops, tablets, and other internet browsers are not allowed. During the first weeks of the program, the specifics and norms of phone use will be created collaboratively between gappers and leaders, both to meet our needs and to allow ourselves the fullest experience possible.
It will be quite possible for gappers to make calls through the landline at camp, and also to check email, etc. in our computer lab. Who knows, gappers might even feel so inspired to write some letters home!
The gap leaders will be reachable by phone around the clock should there be any emergency or reason for your families to get in immediate contact.
It's hard to overstate the quality of food we have the fortune of access to at Glen Brook. Especially in the warmer months, much of our produce comes from our farm, and we have organic, pasture-raised Glen Brook meat (chicken, pork, and beef) available year-round. We source dry goods and other pantry staples from local farms and distributors. In general, we are nourished with whole, unprocessed foods and strive to match our diets with what is seasonally available.
Our very own Chef Taylor is a gifted and creative cook who is always coming up with new ways of repurposing recipes and accommodating various dietary needs. We are happy to work with many types of diets. Since the Food Studies portion of the curriculum is quite robust, we hope that—unless you have an allergy—you will be open to cooking with various ingredients to fully dive into the alchemical art of crafting meals for community.
No. We welcome gappers of any religious background, and do not have a religious affiliation, nor an explicit religious aspect to our program.
There are elements to our program that some would consider matters of the spirit: we express gratitude before meals; we have regular mindful and contemplative practices, including yoga and meditation; we face head-on the task of examining, exploring, and challenging our world-views; and we strive to foster a sense of connection with the natural world. As with all things here, we encourage gappers to approach these questions with a sense of curiosity and open-mindedness.
Yes! We are accredited by the Gap Year Association, a leader in promoting integrity and best practices in gap years worldwide.

Pricing FAQ
- How does server app pricing work?
Server products and apps are hosted on your servers. This app is sold as a perpetual license, and the purchase price includes 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).
You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your Atlassian product and app licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).
If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my server pricing?
Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. For Jira 7.0 or later, the app tier should match the maximum tier of the licensed Jira products on your instance. For example, if you're running Jira Software (500 users) and Jira Service Desk (25 agents) on the same instance, you should purchase the 500-user tier for apps. For versions of Jira prior to 7.0, the app tier should match the licensed user tier for Jira. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your Jira license, the two licenses should match exactly. Note: While this app has features specific to Jira Service Desk, the app is technically available across the whole Jira instance. Therefore the above guidelines for the license tier still apply.
- Can I install this app in a Data Center product?
This app does not have a Data Center approved version. Only apps meeting a set of performance requirements for large, clustered environments are approved for Data Center.
However, while server apps are built for single-server deployments, many customers successfully install them in Data Center products. If you're using a Data Center product, Atlassian recommends you contact the vendor to determine compatibility at scale.
Learn more about Data Center approved apps
- What type of license do I need if I'm using this app in a Data Center product?
Because this app does not have a Data Center approved version, you should purchase a Server license if you decide to install this app in a Data Center product.
Learn more about Data Center licensing
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses for server apps?
For server apps, academic licenses are available at a 50% discount if you have an academic license for your Atlassian product.
Community and open-source licenses are available for server apps. Learn more about community and open source licenses.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For server apps, you can extend your app trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the app listing in UPM from your Atlassian product, and you're all set.
- How can I buy apps for my legacy Jira Server or Confluence Server license?
If you own a legacy Jira Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy app pricing is no longer available. You have two options for app purchasing:
- Purchase the app at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
- Renew your Jira or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the app at the same tier.

As promised earlier today, below are my top three picks for what to look out for at The One of a Kind Show in Toronto this year.Top Pick #1 - Ceramik B.
Basma Osama's porcelain ceramics made under the name Ceramik B. are absolute perfection. This minimalist collection of bowls, plates, cups, and platters produced in a limited colour palette just begs to be touched and held. I think part of the beauty of these forms is seeing how the organic shapes work together in stacks and layers. These are the kinds of housewares you want to buy in multiples and have displayed on an open shelf in your kitchen. They are too beautiful and sensuous to be hidden away behind cabinet doors. I think I might start with the cups and grow my collection from there. A definite must-see at The One of a Kind Show. Top Pick #2 - Felt Factory
Felt Factory has one of the smaller booths at The One of a Kind Show but that doesn't stop them from delivering a powerful punch. As part of the Rising Star's portion of the show, Sabine Alpers, the woman behind these Faux Fauna, is a first time presenter. Her whimsical, felted trophy heads mounted on logs are a playful poke at traditional taxidermy. All vegetarian friendly! Her menagerie includes everything from bison to sheep to unicorns. It's worth taking a look at her beautifully designed website to see the names she gives to each of these creatures!
My final pick for this year's One of a Kind Show is the children's clothing line Patouche. Kessa Laxton, the woman behind these imaginative coats, hats, capes, and booties started this company in her kitchen sewing clothes for her own children. She now sells in retailers across Canada, the United States, and Europe. Her clothes have an old world elegance and recall the stories and fables we all grew up with. There are little red riding capes, pirate hats, tweed coats, bonnets and booties for your little ones. Clothes that both parents and children can delight in. I'm definitely heading back to pick up a pirate hat for Henry.
Again, if you can't make it to The One of a Kind Show in Toronto be sure to check out the websites of each of these artisans. Almost all have an online store where you can purchase their products. As the holiday season approaches, it's great to keep these independent retailers in mind. Wouldn't you like to receive something that has been crafted out of love and dreams?

Keyboard shortcut: Alt + Shift + D
Formerly "GDrive Panel"
With the new WebExtensions it can't be done everything what the Legacy addons could did.
Now the panels are loaded every time they are opened. I think with this, the panel lose all the functionality that had in the past for my addon.
For this reason, I decided to use the pinned tabs. Now when the button is clicked a pinned tab will be open (or if you already has it, it will be activated). The same if you use the keyboard shortcut. If you click again, you will return to the previous tab (the same with the keyboard shortcut).
About the keyboard shortcut, again, with the WebExtensions has been lose the ability to configurate it. So, I set the combination that I use: Alt+Shift+D. I hope this could be configurable in the future, but all depends on Mozilla.

Can mines coexist with a healthy reef? That's a notion Positive Change for Marine Life is exploring in a feature length documentary focussed on the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.

It is one of Australia's most significant natural drawcards.
But it has also been identified as a prime location for exporting coal to huge markets in China and India.
In December last year, the Federal Government approved the creation of one of the world's largest coal ports at Abbot Point near the world heritage listed area, sparking outrage from conservationists and the Greens.
The development includes plans to dredge three million cubic metres of seabed.
The Environment Minister Greg Hunt says strict measures are in place to protect the reef.
The Abbot Point approval comes with a condition requiring the nearby water to contain less sediment than at present.
But the Byron Bay based marine conservation group Positive Change For Marine Life wants to know whether or not that truly is the case.
A film crew working with the organisation will spend the coming months travelling up and down the north Queensland coast filming and interviewing stakeholders.
It will also explore effects associated with dredging in Gladstone Harbour.
Positive Change for Marine Life founder and CEO, Karl Goodsell says they want to get the 'real' story out to the public.
"There's a lot of differing sides and opinions when it comes to industry and what's happening along the coastline adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and World Heritage Area," he says.
"We want to investigate that from a neutral perspective and put the story out there to the Australian and international community to let them make up their own mind."
The organisation plans to release the film later this year or early in 2015.

Well, Asher has survived his first winter... He is becoming a real little boy. As the warmer elongated days of spring lighten the aluminium clad cave where we have hibernated these last few months little Asher has increased opportunities for adventure and exploration in the boundless expanse of our back yard, the garden, the small continent of a deck at Rob and Viv's, or the park.
Below is a random compilation of some of our recent photos.
In other news, on Friday Dean was offered a job at Corrections where he previously completed a placement and so we are excited about that. He just needs to pass his final exam. Our house plans are coming along and we are hoping to hear from the broker this week as to whether or not our mortgage was approved.
