Last summer, we wrote about a huge ruling in an appeals court concerning a guy, Simon Glik, who was arrested by Boston police for filming them as they arrested someone else. The court not only found that the arrest was a clear violation of the 1st and 4th Amendments, but that since police should have known the arrest was bogus, following through with it was a civil rights violation for which they could be liable for damages. Because of that, the city has now paid Glik $170,000 to settle the case he filed against them. Not surprisingly, the Boston Police also indicate that they're working hard to make sure this doesn't happen again -- because it could get costly.

Re:Rather than being disappointed by this, rejoice! Think of it as the taxpayers paying for the system to do its job, and hopefully police will now think twice before arresting someone just for filming them.
Better to pay one person $170,000 and prevent similar cases in the future than to have many folks being arrested because the cops got away with it once.

It's great that this money is coming out of the budget but who is considering the next few steps at where the city is going to come up with this money?
The officer wasn't fired.
The prosecutors may have lost, but this will come out of taxes.
And you still have no training in the law enforcement offices regarding this arrest.
There are more losers here than anything.
dave, 28 Mar 2012 @ 10:27amThe money should come out of the pockets of the arresting officers and their immediate supervisors, not the city itself. The city of Boston did not violate this man's rights, these people acting as 'police' did.
Hold police accountable for their actions.

taxpayers on the hookSo the *taxpayers* are out $170K. Trying to figure out why the Boston PD has any real incentive to change... clearly bad publicity isn't enough to fix problems in Oakland or Los Angeles, so I don't see how a fine to a tax funded government entity would change things.
Now if there cops in question were held liable for their actions, that would seem to actually change things, but it seems highly unlikely that the DA would dare to prosecute them in todays political climate.
DannyB (profile), 28 Mar 2012 @ 10:53am
Re: taxpayers on the hookIf the problem is fixed early, I'm happy to just stick the department with liability rather than the officers.
If, somehow this were to go far enough as to stop potential officers from becoming officers, then we end up with a different problem.
Sure I am willing to stick the liability to individual officers AND the department, if real bodily harm or death occurs.
As it is, the department, now, seems to be doing the right thing to prevent this from happening.
Even though not binding on many other police departments, it may be a signal to them to better train their officers as well.
weneedhelp (profile), 28 Mar 2012 @ 11:10am
Re: Re: taxpayers on the hook"Sure I am willing to stick the liability to individual officers AND the department, if real bodily harm or death occurs."
So violating someones rights, and false imprisonment, because there was no bodily injury is not cause for punishment?
I always see this:
"Not surprisingly, the Boston Police also indicate that they're working hard to make sure this doesn't happen again -- because it could get costly." - Not because it is the right thing to do.

Re: Re: Re: taxpayers on the hookI didn't say no punishment. But not something that could end a career or financially ruin someone.
Yeah an arrest and violating the guy's rights is terrible. And I'm glad he won. I would be horrified if he lost. But it sounds like the department is fixing the problem.
And the really bad officers who break the law in ways that result in bodily harm, yes they should be severely punished. Also, I do think officers should be held to a higher standard.
> Not because it is the right thing to do.
If the financial penalty fixes it, that's better than nothing.
Hopefully the penalty was just the wake up call to make them recognize that it is the right thing to do.

Go after their pensionInstead of putting the taxpayers on the hook for $170k, why not penalize the pensions of every single person involved who allowed this to happen, from the officers on up through the DA that allowed the charges to go to trial.
Punish them in a way that will impact them and watch how fast they change their attitude.
Anonymous Coward, 28 Mar 2012 @ 12:38pm
Re: Go after their pensionBetter idea...
Split the 170K evenly amongst every OTHER police department employee.
FSK, 28 Mar 2012 @ 10:43am
Who Pays The Fine?The fine isn't paid by the policemen who broke the law. It's paid by the general tax fund. It's paid by the other taxpayers.
It's pointless to sue the government, when a government employee does something wrong. The fine isn't paid by the people who broke the law. It's paid by the other taxpayers.
There's no incentive for police and bureaucrats to obey the law. Even when they do get caught doing something wrong, the fine is paid by the general tax fund, and not the people who broke the law.
Anonymous Coward, 28 Mar 2012 @ 10:53am
Re: Who Pays The Fine?The problem is that police departments have Internal Affairs Divisions that are SUPPOSED to investigate and reprimand officers that act outside of the law. Often times they simply go through the motions and simply pass a "Move along. Nothing to see here." sort of action in an effort to "protect their own". If these officers cost the city enough money it will force the Internal Affairs Divisions to actually DO THEIR JOB instead of white-washing the misconduct of officers that abuse their power.
vastrightwing, 28 Mar 2012 @ 10:51am
Boston police over zealousDon't worry Boston has plenty of money to pay out for their mis-deeds. It was privy to the Big Dig, worth over 15 billion of your tax dollars. The police also love asserting their force with hoax devices. Now the city is raising its public transportation costs, so I say only $170K? Not even a drop in the bucket!
Anonymous Coward, 28 Mar 2012 @ 11:05am
Re: Go after their pensionDoing that may inspire higher ups to do cover ups of their underlings' actions to avoid punishment. Now, if they hit a small, select group (like the cop(s) who did the arrest), that's a different story...That solution still has problems, though.
DCX2, 28 Mar 2012 @ 12:53pm
Re: Re: Go after their pensionIf a superior engages in a cover-up, they lose their entire pension. Period. They should also face prison time.
If someone blows the whistle on such a superior, the whistle-blower should receive the entire pension.
How's that for incentive?
Niall (profile), 29 Mar 2012 @ 5:49am
Re: Re: Re: Go after their pensionYou'll just have the entire force trying to trip up and backstab their superiors, instead of actually doing their real work.
Also, why should a whistle-blower benefit /that/ much? What about the city coffers, those wronged by the superior, those wronged by crime in general, or so on?

Anonymous Coward, 28 Mar 2012 @ 12:07pmAnd continuing the police/cities reign of corruption, a new tax is passed. People who collect over $1 in cash settlements from the Boston PD must pay 100% of said settlements to the city.
Here's Another One"Las Vegas police agree to pay $100,000 to beaten videographer" from the Mar. 21, 2012 edition of Las Vegas Review Journal.
Las Vegas Review-Journal reports: "The Metropolitan Police Department has agreed to pay $100,000 to a Las Vegas man who said he was beaten by an officer as he shot video from his driveway. ... As Colling was driving away, he stopped his car, got out and approached Crooks. ... He ordered Crooks to stop filming, and when Crooks refused, Colling beat him, according to the lawsuit."
Thomas (profile), 28 Mar 2012 @ 1:04pm
Won't stop it..The cops stil believe they have full right to stop anyone from photographing or videotaping them. They want to avoid another "Rodney King" incident by the simple expedient of making videotape of the incident not allowed in court.
I go to Boston now and then and I am very careful to avoid going anywhere near the cops. I don't photograph/videotape the cops, don't use drugs, don't steal, and yet I avoid them like the plague. Boston cops are not to be trusted. Part of the problem is they have to deal with such serious criminals that it's hard for them not to descend to the criminal level themselves.
F!, 28 Mar 2012 @ 5:45pm
Re: Won't stop it..One of the ironies of the Rodney King debacle is that the thugs basically got away with it. That makes one wonder why cops today are so worried about being filmed, because even with that evidence against them they don't have much to fear.
DannyB (profile), 28 Mar 2012 @ 1:21pm
Video works both waysThe police who are not acting wrongly probably would LIKE to have video of their actions.
Maybe police departments should install cameras everywhere. On cars. On officers themselves. The good officers would find it reassuring. The bad officers would probably find another line of work.
F!, 28 Mar 2012 @ 5:54pm
Re: Video works both waysI totally agree. A helmet-cam on every cop, which has time & date stamp, GPS cordinates, officer's name & badge number in the corner of the screen, streamed live to publicly accessible internet in hd. Also archived online no later than 24 hours later, in a database searchable by date, name, badge number, location, etc.
In the case of stalking/initiating a surprise raid, live streaming could be disabled temporarily, but available in archives immediately following.
This would protect the good cops and weed out the bad ones. Win-win.
Chris, 29 Mar 2012 @ 7:08am
Re: Re: Video works both waysYes, and a lot of departments do stuff like this. But, does anybody recall a recent case where a defendant made a request for said video and suddenly it couldn't be found? Do you see the problem with leaving it up to the cops to do the taping? In particular case I believe the defendant was able to prove that the cops destroyed the evidence. The judge did his usually thing of reprimanding the cops but I don't think anyone was punished. That would require the defendant to file a civil case, and like I commented above, their is a huge financial risk in doing so for the average citizen which pretty much guarantee�s the legal system won't do it's job.

Anonymous Coward, 28 Mar 2012 @ 6:29pmSad to see tax payers go this way, but it also puts pressure on the police to change its way or have the laws changed so they can start doing it legally.
That 170K will come from somewhere and the entire force could be punished, the government pockets are not what they used to be and they don't have that kind of money anymore lying around, the little that is left is going to pet projects and others pockets, so I see this as positive, because I doubt the city will have the balls to increase taxes to make up for it.

Words That Wound
The Tucson incident was yet another disturbing example of how in today�s society, everything from major debacles to minor bungles are an opportunity to pull down one person or idea in order to push up an opponent or opposite point of view.
someone makes a serious statement, immediately a panel of experts
debates his or her qualifications or sanity. It doesn�t matter if the
individual is a political figure, industrialist, economist, theologian,
teacher, or parent. We are becoming a continent of commentators too
quick to judge and too quick to speak. And so much of the speaking is
laced with vitriolic words in doses sufficient to inflict significant
emotional misery.
This past month, two missions that were long lapsed came back into AGRM membership; one was out for 14 months, the other for four years. The first mission let its membership expire after its CEO received a verbal mugging at a district event. In the course of a conversation about funding, the director mentioned to three people whom he considered to be friends how he was availing himself of specifically designated government funds to finish setting up a new program for homeless intact families in his city�s suburbs.
He told me it didn�t take long before the conversation got heated. As a small crowd gathered to hear why voices were elevated, one of the men put a finger in the director�s face and snarled, �People who take government funds these days needs to examine their hearts to see if they really are followers of Christ.�
He not only felt betrayed, but also humiliated.
�I cried halfway home, and spent the next two weeks on the verge of depression,� he said sadly. �I went to where I thought I would receive encouragement for the work I was doing, and instead received condemnation for the way I was doing it.�
Staff members from the second mission were ambushed in a hallway at one of our conventions by people who had an opposing point of view regarding addiction recovery. The opening volley was: �So we heard you took Jesus out of your program.�
Others gathered but only gawked. No one came to the staff�s defense. Wounded in spirit, the confronted group left and didn�t return.
Both of these missions are now back in membership because we have connected their leaders with other members who agree with their principles as well as their practices. The hurt is wearing off and they are feeling less alone.
AGRM is a big table; there is room for everybody serving the poor in rescue mission ministry. Only the essence of the gospel is non-negotiable.
When we at that table hear statements that go against our grain, we must learn to listen longer and then suggest softly. Certainly there is room for debate, but not in a way that grieves the Spirit. More than ever before, the AGRM family needs to be unified in purpose, even if we are diversified in our methods.
Scottish minister and author George MacDonald said, �My own conviction is, that if a man would but bend his energies to live, if he would but try to be a true�that is, a godlike�man in all his dealings with his fellows, a genuine neighbor and not a selfish unit, he would open such channels for the flow of the Spirit as no amount of even honest and so-called successful preaching could.�
In The Message, Eugene Peterson�s take on 1 Thessalonians 5:11 is essentially the call for a truce on any war of words among fellow believers: �So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you�ll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you�re already doing this; just keep on doing it.�
Certainly not everyone in AGRM is guilty of delivering caustic discourse. But who among us�myself included�is not guilty of thinking the statements and then adopting an attitude toward a person or group that reflects that thought?
A battle is raging for the hearts of the hungry, homeless, abused, and addicted all around us. Let�s make a commitment that in 2011 we will fight the real foe.
the AGRM board moves toward a March meeting that will involve intense
planning for the future, we will be reviewing several books. I�m going to give you two management books this month, both with five in the title. Both are must-haves for your library.
There is so much going on in Washington, D.C., these days�especially
with the new Congress�that affects rescue missions. For this reason,
AGRM has scheduled a Washington, D.C., Summit for Tuesday, March 29, and
Wednesday, March 30. We�re inviting rescue mission leaders to fly in to
the nation�s capital for two days of important meetings.

November and December are the deadliest times of the year in Victoria's workplaces, with seven deaths coming in a 12-day period in 2011, WorkSafe has warned.
The state's work safety watchdog said the rush to finish jobs before the Christmas break often led to shortcuts that could prove fatal.
Twenty-six workers have died during November and December over the past five years.
WorkSafe health and safety director, Ian Forsyth, said he fears a repeat of the deadly end to the 2011 working year.
"Organisations rushing to finish jobs before their summer break and peak periods for the farming sector can mean that corners are cut and safety becomes less of a priority," he said.
"It can be a lethal combination and it only takes a moment's inattention for tragedy to strike."
Ahead of the frantic final weeks of 2012, Victoria is on track to record it's lowest number of fatalities in a calendar year, with 14 people dying in workplaces statewide.
Mr Forsyth said the bulk of those fatalities involved experienced workers carrying our routine tasks.
The previous record low was 18 fatalities in 2005.

Chair Taylor will call the meeting to order.
Chair Taylor will address the Board and present the Chair's Report.
President Delaney will address the Board and present the President's Report.
Vice President Owen will provide a summary of the 2011 legislative session.
Chair Taylor will offer opportunity for open comments concerning items on this agenda.
Chair Taylor will address the Board and present the consent agenda for approval.
Proposed Action: Approval. Motion and second required.
The purpose of this item is to present a list of tenure nominees for university faculty. The President, Provost and the university Promotion and Tenure Committee have reviewed these nominees and are making a recommendation for approval to the Board of Trustees.
Eighteen nominees are being recommended based on a traditional review of their credentials.
This item was presented to the Academic Affairs Committee and received a unanimous vote for approval by the full Board.
An individual can achieve tenure in two distinct ways: 1) tenure through the university's standard tenure review process, and 2) tenure by reason of appointment. The tenure nomination before the committee is being recommended under the tenure by reason of appointment procedures.
Under tenure by reason of appointment, senior administrators or distinguished faculty may be granted tenure upon being hired at UNF. The candidate must receive a positive vote from the tenured faculty in his or her disciplinary department. UNF agrees to award tenure as a condition of appointment in order to be competitive in hiring these individuals. The Provost and the President also conduct a thorough review of all candidates for tenure on appointment.
Under these guidelines the administration recommends awarding tenure to Dr. Asai Asaithambi, director, School of Computing, College of Computing, Engineering and Construction.
The Board of Governors (BOG) has specified that "Each board of trustees shall prepare a multi-year work plan/report for the Board of Governors that outlines its university's top priorities, strategic directions, and specific actions and financial plans for achieving those priorities, as well as performance expectations and outcomes on institutional and system-wide goals. The work plan/report shall reflect the university's distinctive mission and focus on core institutional strengths within the context of State University System goals and regional and statewide needs."
This item was presented at the March 15 meeting, with a notation that the deadline for the work plan was May 26, 2011. The administration clarified that the Board of Governors had not sent all of the data at that time so this committee would be approving the work plan with anticipated updates and revisions. The administration is now presenting the finalized report, including updates and revisions to the 2011-2012 work plan.
This update was presented to the Academic Affairs Committee and received a unanimous recommendation for approval by the full Board.
The purpose of this item is to present proposed amendments to the 2011 – 2012 tuition and fee regulation. The regulation will become effective upon approval of the Board of Trustees and the Board of Governors.
This request was reviewed by the Finance and Audit Committee and received a unanimous recommendation for approval by the full Board.
Each year, Florida's public universities are required to submit a Fixed Capital Outlay Request to the Board of Governors for potential incorporation into the Board of Governors' budget request. At the same time, they are expected to submit a Five-Year Capital Outlay request.
The University of North Florida's Board of Trustees is charged with approving and submitting the PECO plan for the university in consultation with the President. The attached schedule shows UNF's proposed three-year and five-year capital requests (PECO). Each of the items included in this proposed request is consistent with the university's goals and master plan.
This request was reviewed by the Student Life and Facilities Committee and received a unanimous recommendation for approval by the full Board.
According to Florida Statutes, the Board of Trustees shall, each year, adopt a capital outlay budget for the upcoming year. This plan shall designate the proposed capital outlay expenditures by project from all fund sources. Attached is the Annual Capital Outlay Budget for Fiscal Year 2011-2012.
Each university board of trustees is required to approve the university budget prior to submission to the Florida Board of Governors and the Florida Legislature.
The UNF Budget was discussed at a workshop May 12th and then again by the Finance and Audit Committee's June 21st meeting. This budget is now being presented to the full Board for review and approval.
Vice President Shuman will address the Board and present this item.
President Delaney will address the Board and present an update on MOCA, Jacksonville.
Proposed Action: Update.No motion required.
This item provides a listing of reports from the Academic Affairs Committee. Individual reports will be discussed as deemed appropriate by the committee chair or an individual Board member.
There were no reports from the Academic Affairs Committee.
This item provides a listing of reports discussed at the committee meeting. Individual reports will be discussed as deemed appropriate by the committee chair or an individual Board member.
The purpose of this item is to present, for review, budgets for UNF's DSOs, including the UNF Foundation, Inc.; the UNF Training & Service Institute, Inc.; The UNF Financing Corporation, Inc.; and MOCA Jacksonville.
The purpose of this item is to present a report to the Board of Trustees for this quarter's activities in the Office of Internal Auditing.
This item provides a review of this quarter's budget report.
This item provides a review of the current treasurer's report.
This item is provided as a quarterly report to the Board of Trustees and describes current progress on each project, funding sources, and any current issues, including change orders. The capital projects quarterly report is being provided for review by the Board of Trustees.
The Board authorized the President or his designee to approve change orders in the name of the Board for pre-established amounts. Approvals are for the purpose of expediting the work in progress and are to be reported to the Board and entered into its official minutes.
The purpose of this item is to present information on UNF's leadership institute, The Institute for Values, Community and Leadership (IVCL). This institute is an initiative within the Office of Student Affairs, partnering with Academic Affairs. It emphasizes the encouragement, promotion and rewarding of personal, civic and community engagement with a concentration on values and leadership constructs. The Institute builds upon the adoption of UNF's core values, best practices learned from the recent reaccreditation committee work and UNF's focus on Community Based Transformational Learning.
The IVCL has key programs that give it unique operational breadth and depth:
Chair Taylor will adjourn the meeting.

Improving resource productivity and ensuring a sustainable resource and materials management building on the principle of the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) is a central element of green growth policies. It helps to improve the environment, by reducing the amount of resources that the economy requires and diminishing the associated environmental impacts, and sustain economic growth by securing adequate supplies of materials and improving competitiveness. To be successful such policies need to be founded on a good understanding of how minerals, metals, timber or other materials flow through the economy throughout their life cycle, and of how this affects the productivity of the economy and the quality of the environment. This report contributes to this understanding. It describes the material basis of OECD economies and provides a factual analysis of material flows and resource productivity in OECD countries in a global context. It considers the production and consumption of materials, as well as their international flows and available stocks, and the environmental implications associated with their use. It also describes some of the challenges and opportunities associated with selected materials and products that are internationally-significant, both in economic and environmental terms (aluminium, copper, iron and steel, paper, phosphate rock and rare earth elements).

Natural resources are fundamental to the economy and human well-being
Natural resources provide essential raw materials and other commodities, and are an important source of income and jobs. They also support the provision of ecosystem services necessary to develop human and social capital.
The way natural resources and materials are managed and used is important, not only from an environmental perspective but also from an economic perspective. Improving resource productivity is thus central to achieving green growth and has become a priority for governments and businesses alike.
Resource productivity contains both a quantitative dimension (producing more with a given amount of natural resources), and a qualitative dimension (reducing the environmental impacts of natural resource use).
The OECD report Material Resources, Productivity and the Environment examines how material resources flow between the economy and the environment, and the factors that drive changes in resource productivity over time and across countries.
The report uses concepts and tools from material flow analysis and accounting, and provides a factual basis to help understand some of the key challenges and opportunities associated with material resources and resource productivity in OECD countries.

Pirates unable to post third straight rally
PITTSBURGH -- When Jordy Mercer took a called third strike from Toronto right-hander Dustin McGowan to end the fourth inning and it quickly led to the ejections of both manager Clint Hurdle and first-base coach Rick Sofield, it appeared to be only the start of a frustrating Sunday at PNC Park.
It was actually the end, punctuation for three unsettling innings, a brief sequence that had already sealed the eventual 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays.View Full Game Coverage
PITTSBURGH -- When Jordy Mercer took a called third strike from Toronto right-hander Dustin McGowan to end the fourth inning and it quickly led to the ejections of both manager Clint Hurdle and first-base coach Rick Sofield, it appeared to be only the start of a frustrating Sunday at PNC Park.
It was actually the end, punctuation for three unsettling innings, a brief sequence that had already sealed the eventual 7-2 loss to the Blue Jays.View Full Game Coverage
Pittsburgh starter Edinson Volquez not being given a low strike directly led to a second-inning Colby Rasmus grand slam that essentially decided the game.
And Mercer's getting rung up on the same pitch Volquez was not getting from home-plate umpire Greg Gibson took the Pirates out of their best threat against McGowan.
"It was pretty apparent the low strike wasn't going to come into play," Hurdle said. "The pitch that hadn't been called a strike all day got called at a very pivotal at-bat for us."
Deprivation of the classic pitcher's pitch compounded Volquez's second inning. He began by walking both Edwin Encarnacion and Juan Francisco, then he saw the bases get loaded on an infield single by Brett Lawrie.
"He felt like he was getting the ball in good spots, down in the zone, and wasn't getting the calls," Hurdle said. "He tried to make an adjustment and probably over-adjusted. They've hit one ball, and all of a sudden you're looking at bases loaded."
Volquez took a more accountable view of the developments.
"I can't think about that [not getting calls]; I can't get down about it, need to just let it go and try to make better pitches," Volquez said.
"He threw the 3-2 breaking ball right in the swing path to a pretty good hitter right now; he's hot," Hurdle said of Rasmus, who launched his seventh homer over The Clemente Wall.
"I just made the wrong pitch," Volquez said.
In the midst of Volquez's hunt for the strike zone, Hurdle had expressed his displeasure to Gibson who, in turn, had issued him the warning, "That's enough."
But Sofield was not aware of the formal warning, violation of which comes with automatic ejection. So when he trotted by the plate on his way back to the dugout and said, "That pitch was low," he was gone.
Coming to his rescue, Hurdle was, too.
"We disagreed on the strike zone," the Pirates' skipper said. "I thought he'd let us know that part of the zone was a ball, that's all."
Mercer's pivotal at-bat had come with two runners on -- the only time all day the Pirates would have two runners on base against McGowan and the two relievers who protected his second win.
So there was no three-peat of the late-game comebacks that had secured the series win for the Bucs.
"Any time you win a series, it's a good thing," said Josh Harrison, the Bucs' offensive pulse on Sunday with two triples. "It was good to come from behind for those two wins, and we don' t want to have to do that too much. But we'll take a win any way we can."
After two nights of having leveled numerous uppercuts, the Bucs had to take the Blue Jays' Sunday punch.
McGowan's seven innings of three-hit pitching was effective enough to enable the Blue Jays to salvage the finale of the series without manager John Gibbons having to rely much on his bullpen. Gibbons had been frustrated to see the Bucs hang 13 hits and eight runs in 5 2/3 innings on solid relievers.
"Big, big day for us, and McGowan was great," Gibbons said. "I said it yesterday, it has been a rotten trip so far, but we've played good baseball. It's been a couple of innings here or there, but you still have to play nine innings."
Volquez retired the first three batters he faced but, after that perfect first inning, had 11 of his next 20 batters reach base. He pitched with enough tenacity to bull his way through some jams, but the two blows he could not duck were Rasmus' slam and Melky Cabrera's fifth-inning two-run homer.
"I was a little bit all over the place," said Volquez, who owns one victory, the last credited to a Pirates starting pitcher, on April 17.
The Bucs' little offensive spark came off the flint of Harrison, who, just as George Harrison was the most underrated Beatle, is the most underrated Bucco.
Harrison had half of the Pirates' hits and scored both their runs, after smacking triples in the first and eighth to virtually the same spot in right center. Harrison scored first on Neil Walker's infield grounder, then on Andrew McCutchen's sacrifice fly.
The common path of the two three-baggers was even more unusual given that they came off different pitchers, McGowan then Marcus Stroman, in his Major League debut.
"I just know they were both two-strike fastballs, and I put good swings on them," Harrison said.
Volquez labored through 83 pitches in five innings, allowing seven hits and six earned runs while both walking and fanning three.
His departure after five both doomed the Pirates' rotation to be stuck on three wins now 31 games into the season and added to the burden on the bullpen. Pittsburgh starters lasted a combined 13 2/3 innings in the three games of this series, and they have not pitched through the sixth in seven straight games.
For the second time during the series, rookie Casey Sadler helped out with two scoreless innings. Sadler took care of the sixth and seventh, turning away the Blue Jays on one hit.
Jared Hughes took over in the eighth and gave up a run-scoring pinch-hit single to Dioner Navarro.

An Irishman living in New Hampshire faces losing his house due to a law that has left him liable for his deceased ex-wife's medical bills.
Tony Hayes, 61, originally from Stillorgan, Co. Dublin, has been engaged in a lengthy legal battle with Southern New Hampshire Medical Center (SNHMC) since 2006.
The health care facility is suing Hayes for over $85,000 in medical bills incurred by his late ex-wife, Karen, who died in August 2007 after a long battle with alcohol addiction.
The couple divorced in January 2007, after 30 years of marriage. They had two sons together, Connor, 23, and Jack, 16.
The Dubliner emigrated to the U.S. in 1977 and is currently working as a delivery man, bringing chemotherapy drugs to cancer patients in their homes. Surviving on a modest income, Hayes admits it is not a lucrative salary.
"It's enough to buy one pizza every hour," he told the Irish Voice.

Increasing health care costs means that Hayes has not been able to afford insurance cover for his family for the past decade -- "2002 was the last time I had insurance," he said.
In the latest blow to the father of two, he was notified on Christmas Eve that one of his two properties is to be auctioned to help cover the costs of the outstanding medical bills.
SNHMC got a writ of execution to sell Hayes's rental property. Hayes got a court order to block the sale but that decision was overturned by the state Supreme Court in November.
"I will be left with nothing to give to my kids," a concerned Hayes told the Irish Voice. "I don't believe I owe them (SNHMC) a button."
Throughout 2006, Karen Hayes was admitted on four occasions to SNHMC for emergency services related to alcoholism. In November 2006, SNHMC filed a suit against the Hayes family for Karen's unpaid medical bills.
"She would ring up somebody looking for help and the police, fire, or ambulance would show up at my house. It was a nightmare for the kids," Hayes said.

"She was coming and going as you pleased. I tried to get her help, she tried all kinds of places but nobody could help her," he added.
In March 2007, a court ruled that Hayes was also liable for the bills amounting to $85,238.88, under the "doctrine of necessaries," the English common law which imposed liability on husbands for "essential goods and services provided to (their wives or children) by third parties."
"I made the mistake of giving them $60,000 which I have saved for Conor's education. I was paying $200 a month, trying to get them off her back. Then they started up a new suit," he told the Irish Voice.
Following the couple's divorce in January 2007, court documents show that Hayes got ownership of the two properties and that "Karen was responsible for paying the debt to SNHMC as well as any other medical debts or bills."
As part of the divorce settlement she received one car "valued at $1,200, and her bank account with a balance of $0.00."
Karen passed away on August 25, 2007, a mere seven months after the couple's divorce was finalized, leaving Hayes libel for the medical expenses.
Now Welts, White & Fontaine, P.C., who represent SNHMC have notified Hayes that his rental property is to be auctioned. A date for the auction has yet to be set.
A spokesman Welts, White & Fontaine, P.C., declined to comment on the case.

Luke 2:7 in the King James Bible tells us about Jesus being born in a manger and wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a feeding trough. He would have been exposed to the elements of this world, the very world He created. We like to show the manger as a building with a top and sides, but it wasn�t. It was a place to feed cattle.
I just had a great-grandchild born in a nice, clean, safe hospital. They even put a device on his leg to make sure no one walks off with him. Now this child is not the Savior of the world, but he was treated a million times better than the baby Jesus. I guess what I am trying to say is, take time in your busy schedule to think about the true meaning of Christmas. It�s not about giving or receiving expensive gifts, or attending the fanciest party, or eating the best meal. We celebrate Christmas because it is a time we have set aside to give praise to someone that gave His all for us.
Our pastor at church recently gave one of his best sermons on the subject of Jesus Christ being our substitute on the cross. Remember, He had to be born before He could die for us.
I like to say Jesus was born under Jewish law, He lived under Jewish law, He was crucified under Jewish Law, He was buried under Jewish law; but He was raised from the dead by the power of God.
In closing, you can�t remove Christ out of Christmas. If you do, you�re left with MAS.
Christmas is a time for families to enjoy each other; but remember what the true meaning is when we say �Merry Christmas.�

David, 2015, Nigeria
Why Fletcher: My decision to join Fletcher was informed by its wealth of reputable alumni; one of whom happens to be a former Minister of Foreign Affairs in my country. I had a telephone conversation with him and he spoke highly of the school explaining the role Fletcher played in his diplomatic career. That phone conversation played perhaps the biggest role in helping me choose a graduate school. Additionally, I chose Fletcher because it promised to easily merge my background in Pharmacy with International Relations in a way only its curriculum could. I was not bothered that I was making a career change because Fletcher enabled me to marry my health background with law and diplomacy as easily as possible.
Quintessential Fletcher Moment: During orientation, I met a fellow student who is here for the MIB program and her background fascinated me: Her father is Rwandan, her mother is German. They met in Kenya. She has lived in both countries, and she speaks English, German, Chinese and Swahili fluently. Meeting her represented a quintessential Fletcher moment for me.

Active record pattern
In software engineering, the active record pattern is an architectural pattern found in software that stores in-memory object data in relational databases. It was named by Martin Fowler in his 2003 book Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture.[1] The interface of an object conforming to this pattern would include functions such as Insert, Update, and Delete, plus properties that correspond more or less directly to the columns in the underlying database table.
The active record pattern is an approach to accessing data in a database. A database table or view is wrapped into a class. Thus, an object instance is tied to a single row in the table. After creation of an object, a new row is added to the table upon save. Any object loaded gets its information from the database. When an object is updated, the corresponding row in the table is also updated. The wrapper class implements accessor methods or properties for each column in the table or view.
This pattern is commonly used by object persistence tools and in object-relational mapping (ORM). Typically, foreign key relationships will be exposed as an object instance of the appropriate type via a property.
Implementations of the concept can be found in various frameworks for many programming environments. For example, if in a database there is a table
parts with columns
name (string type) and
price (number type), and the Active Record pattern is implemented in the class
Part, the pseudo-code
part = new Part() part.name = "Sample part" part.price = 123.45 part.save()
will create a new row in the
parts table with the given values, and is roughly equivalent to the SQL command
INSERT INTO parts (name, price) VALUES ('Sample part', 123.45);
Conversely, the class can be used to query the database:
b = Part.find_first("name", "gearbox")
This will find a new
Part object based on the first matching row from the
parts table whose
name column has the value "gearbox". The SQL command used might be similar to the following, depending on the SQL implementation details of the database:
SELECT * FROM parts WHERE name = 'gearbox' LIMIT 1; -- MySQL or PostgreSQL
ColdFusion has an open source implementation of the active record pattern.
The ColdFusion on Wheels framework has an implementation of the active record pattern. It is open source and has the added advantage of requiring no complex configuration.
PHP ActiveRecord is one open-source library designed to fulfill the active record pattern.[2]
Several open-source PHP frameworks also bundle their own ORM implementing the active record pattern. Most implementations support relationships, behaviors, validation, serialization and support for multiple data sources.
- Maghead, a high performance database framework written in pure PHP, contains a class/query method generator to boost the performance. It mixes the active record pattern with repository pattern.
- Boiler, an MVC framework for PHP, contains a set of tools for auto-generation of active record models.[3] The project, designed for data-centered projects, aims to automate as much of the development process as possible,[4] using Apache Ant. Although a new addition to Open Source market,[5] the project is already in use in many live applications, both commercially and open. The framework currently only supports MySQL though the developers have reported some commercial work in Postgres.
- Cygnite PHP Framework's default database layer implements Active Record pattern which closely resemble with Ruby on Rails.[6]
- Eloquent ORM its included with Laravel. Eloquent implements the active record pattern, closely resembling that of Ruby on Rails [7]
- CakePHP's ORM implements the active record pattern,[8] but as of version 2.x queries return arrays of data, with levels of related data as required. Version 3.0 uses objects and offers a hybrid implementation of ActiveRecord and Datamapper patterns.
- Lithium's ORM implements active record.
- Symfony's default database layer and ORM "Doctrine" does not implement active record but rather a data mapper approach.
- CodeIgniter has a query builder it calls "ActiveRecord", but which does not implement the Active Record pattern. Instead, it implements what the user guide refers to as a modified version of the pattern. The Active Record functionality in CodeIgniter can be achieved by using either CodeIgniter DataMapper library or CodeIgniter Gas ORM library.
- Yii's ORM also implements the active record pattern.[9]
- Propel also implements the active record pattern.[10]
- Paris is A lightweight Active Record implementation for PHP5, built on top of Idiorm.[11]
The Ruby library ActiveRecord implements ORM. It creates a persistable domain model from business objects and database tables, where logic and data are presented as a unified package. It largely simplifies object-record mapping by assuming homogeneous identification method (i.e. Surrogate key) by virtue of convention over configuration. ActiveRecord adds inheritance and associations to the pattern above, solving two substantial limitations of that pattern. A set of macros acts as a domain language for the latter, and the Single Table Inheritance pattern is integrated for the former; thus, ActiveRecord increases the functionality of the active record pattern approach to database interaction. ActiveRecord is the default 'model' component of the model-view-controller web-application framework Ruby on Rails, and is also a stand-alone ORM package for other Ruby applications. In both forms, it was conceived of by David Heinemeier Hansson, and has been improved upon by a number of contributors.[12]
Other ORMs have been released since ActiveRecord first appeared. For example, DataMapper and Sequel. These ORMs include improvements over the original ActiveRecord framework.[neutrality is disputed] As a response to their release and adoption by the Rails community, Ruby on Rails v3.0 became independent of an ORM system, so that Rails users can instead use DataMapper or Sequel as their ORM.
Django, one of Python's many web frameworks, uses the Active Record pattern for its ORM.[13]
The Java language implements the Active Record pattern via the ActiveJDBC library. ActiveJDBC is an implementation of Active Record design pattern inspired by Ruby on Rails ActiveRecord. ActiveJDBC is lightweight, fast, small and does not require any configuration.
ActiveJPA and jOOQ (for Java Object Oriented Querying) implements the Active record pattern, combining active records with source code generation and a querying DSL similar to SQL allowing for retrieving active records using complex SQL statements.
The Play framework is a Java web framework which implements the Active Record pattern, using ideas from Ruby on Rails.
JActiveRecord is yet another library providing easy ORM mapping for Java, inspired by Ruby on Rails ActiveRecord but more focused on Java's type-safety.
The Dart language implements the Active Record pattern via the Dartabase Migration and Dartabase Model packages
Dartabase Migration Serverside Database Object Models for simple data manipulation currently supporting MySQL/PGSQL inspired by Ruby on Rails Migration
Dartabase Model Serverside Database migration for simple version controlled database structure manipulation currently supporting MySQL/PGSQL inspired by Ruby on Rails Model now console and GUI (build in Polymer 1.0)
Other languages[edit]
There are several open source implementations of the Active Record pattern in other languages, including JavaScript (e.g., ActiveJS's Active Record[14]), Perl (DBIx::Class), ActionScript, Haxe (SPOD[15]), C#,[16] Objective-C[17] and Scala.[18]
Due to the coupling of database interaction and application logic when using the active record pattern, unit testing an active record object without a database becomes difficult.[citation needed] The negative effects on testability in the active record pattern can be minimized by using mocking or dependency injection frameworks to substitute the real data tier with a simulated one.[citation needed]
Single responsibility principle and separation of concerns[edit]
Another critique of the active record pattern is that, also due to the strong coupling of database interaction and application logic, an active record object does not follow the single responsibility principle and separation of concerns as opposed to multitier architecture which properly addresses these practices. Because of this, the active record pattern is best and most often employed in simple applications that are all forms-over-data with CRUD functionality, or only as one part of an architecture. Typically that part is data access and why several ORMs implement the active record pattern.
Distributed systems[edit]
Record based patterns work poorly in distributed systems especially where concurrency is impossible ( eg offline ). i.e. 2 updates both may have 1 field that is correct but only one of the 2 records can win.[clarification needed]

Almost everyone in town knew by sight Richard Nelson Ryan Jr., who died at the age of 64 on Dec. 28 at his house in East Hampton Village. He was "such an ordinary kind of guy," one acquaintance recalled. He was often seen down at Wiborg's Beach in his red Jeep Wrangler, or stopping by Nichol's restaurant to say hello to friends, or hanging out at the Wainscott Post Office. By all reports, he was anything but ostentatious.
So it came as a terrific shock when his sister, Hope Ryan Garrett, told Nancy Andrews, the president of the Ladies Village Improvement Society of East Hampton, that he had left the organization a posthumous gift of just over $1 million.
"Richard was dedicated to preserving the past with a united group of people who were committed to preserving the community," Ms. Garrett said Tuesday from her brother's house on David's Lane, where he lived for more than two decades. "He loved this village, and he was a very traditional guy."
When Ms. Garrett walked up the stairs at the L.V.I.S. headquarters (the Gardiner Brown house on Main Street) on March 24 and requested a meeting with Ms. Andrews, "I didn't know what to think," Ms. Andrews admitted. "I had no idea at all."
When Ms. Garrett handed Ms. Andrews the letter, outlining Mr. Ryan's donation, "I was just shocked," said Ms. Andrews. "And incredibly grateful."
Mr. Ryan's bequest is the largest the L.V.I.S. has ever received from one person.
According to those who knew him, Mr. Ryan had always been generous, making anonymous donations and supporting friends who needed a financial boost. He had also always shown a particular affinity for the society, sometimes dropping off Christmas checks for $20,000.
"Christmas always came a little early," said Mary Anna Jun-Morris, the general manager of the L.V.I.S., recalling his holiday visits.
"He was a silent wonder," marveled his sister. "No one really knew who he was."
As children, Richard and Hope were brought to the Mulford Farm for the L.V.I.S. summer fairs, and Ms. Garrett remembers her brother loving the well-preserved architecture and landscaping of East Hampton Village.
"You would never think he would do something like this," Ms. Jun-Morris said. "He didn't want any accolades or fanfare. He liked to go out to the East Hampton Airport and watch the airplanes come in."
Now Ms. Andrews and the board of the L.V.I.S. are faced with the not-unpleasant task of deciding on how best to use Mr. Ryan's bequest.
"My hope," said Ms. Garrett, "is that they perpetuate that my brother did this, and that others carry on the tradition."
Ms. Andrews told The Star that a scholarship has already been established in Mr. Ryan's name.
"The money will be used in accordance with our mission statement," she said. "Richard had a passion for the magnificent trees and beauty of East Hampton. He demonstrated a deep desire to assist L.V.I.S. to carry out our mission and accomplish our goals. We will always be grateful for those years of support, and he has given us a gift that will help us to continue our work and ensure our future."
This is fantastic. Hope the LVIS always continues to concentrate on its traditional role: trees, trees, trees, and keeping the village beautiful! What a generous man.

You've almost made it through your first year as an accidental landlord, and as someone who stumbled into your new "career," you want to figure out what you need to do to plan for next year.
Continue Reading Below
Here are a few items you should consider:
It's time to start planning your federal income tax process. You'll be doing a 1040 Form Schedule E for your rental property business operations. You can go to irs.gov for more information and to download that schedule to review. Basically, you'll have to record all your rental income, less your expenses such as management, property taxes, insurance, mortgage interest (not the mortgage payment, just the interest) and depreciation. Get with a tax professional to determine your depreciation. Then fill out the Schedule E to determine whether you have income or a loss on your rental property. This net amount will flow to your main 1040 form and probably save you a little money on your taxes!
It's also a good time to review your insurance to make sure you have the proper type and amount of insurance in place. At a minimum, make sure you converted your prior homeowners policy to a landlord policy. Also, make sure you have enough coverage for the dwelling — start with $150 per square foot, or whatever it would cost to rebuild in your area if the house is destroyed. You might also consider an umbrella liability policy to bump your coverage now that you are a landlord. Talk with your agent on all these matters.
Should you sell?
This might also be a good time to think about whether you want to exit the accidental landlord business — after all, you never intended to be a landlord in the first place. In many areas of the country there are shortages of properties listed for sale, and prices have been firming up. So now may be the time to talk to a real estate professional about market prices and whether you should try to sell your property in early 2013.
If you don't believe you will be able to sell the property in the foreseeable future, or you've decided to keep your property as an investment, and your mortgage interest rate is above 4.5 percent, you might want to look at refinancing options. Interest rates are at historic lows, and if you can drop your rate by one-half to 1 percent, that could slice your monthly payment and give you a little additional cash flow. So it's worth taking a look at this option as long as you think you will own the property at least a few more years. Look at all the lending programs available, and hopefully you'll qualify for one.
Lastly, make sure to send your tenants a holiday card thanking them for being great tenants. Keeping good relations with them usually goes a long way toward making your life as a landlord a little easier.

Hi, I posted this in general discussion but think I should have posted here...
Really liking Sublime for ruby dev work, just missing one thing I really like in Netbeans. Basically they had a feature that would mark a changed line as red/blue/green depending on the SCM status, like this:
I'm since learned vim has a similar plugin called fugitive?
Anybody know a way to get similar functionality in Sublime?
That exact functionality can't be reproduced. An icon can be put in the gutter.
Thanks for replying, an icon that shows the line has changed would be great. Any idea if a plugin exists to do that?
This one doesn't depend on SCM status, but you could probably modify it to: https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/change-tracker-highlights-changes/3325/1
Yes, Change Tracker + GIT is basically all I want If I'm not able to find something else I will attempt to base something off this, thanks
I successfully added git status on gutter for my plugin SideBarGit.But I have problems to understand correctly the diff numbers (called hunk) ex: @@ -1 +1 @@If someone want to investigate this, and properly resolve which lines are modified/deleted/added by parsing these nums I can add it.
Experimental implementation has been added to SideBarGit
Thanks Tito I did clone the repo, and revert to commit 6b8d1501e1d5d0ccf7e513bb673f31dc2c390445, but did not see any icons in the gutter. Any config option to set?
No configs it should just work.

One of my patients died today, the first time that I was actually around for such an event.
He was kind of a hopeless situation from the time he came in a few days ago, but we gave it our best shot. His family knew the prognosis was bad, and today when some tests confirmed that he had basically no brain function left, they agreed to withdraw care. I talked to them from the beginning, putting out the likelihood that he wouldn't recover and that a decision would have to be made. Today I was trying to hide, letting subspecialists talk to them, but of course it wasn't that easy. "Alice, we finished our discussion, now they're asking to talk to you."
The family seemed like great people, a strong family. They had a spokesperson who asked questions, and then announced their decision. I told them what we would do (having just carefully checked with the nurses, since I had never seen such proceedings myself). After the decision had been confirmed several times, we took them back to the room, and the nurse and I took out the breathing tube and left them alone together. I guess I didn't really need to be there for that step, but I felt like he was my patient and I didn't want to hide anymore.
I got in a corner and cried. I don't know why, it was the right thing to do, and the family knew it, but they were so sad to lose their father, I couldn't help it. Some time I should figure out at least how not to cry when I'm talking to the family, it doesn't really help the situation.
About half an hour later I came back to check, and the nurse was printing an asystole strip off the monitor. So that was that. It took me three tries to fill the death certificate out correctly. (I have no idea how I've gotten to the twelfth month of internship without having had to write a death certificate before.) And then the coroner's office wouldn't answer their phone, and I had to keep calling and calling.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
WASHINGTON -- Singer-songwriter James Taylor -- who stumped for President Obama this year and in 2008 – credits Dallasite George W. Bush for his interest in getting Obama elected.
"I was hugely motivated … by eight years of Cheney-Bush. And I say it in that order on purpose," Taylor said at a National Press Club luncheon at which he shared some thoughts on politics and played a few tunes. "It was a tough time for me. I really suffered. It made me deeply ambivalent about my country that we would choose that -- even if we may not have actually chosen it -- that that's what represented us in the world."
He called Bush's push for war in Iraq "unpardonable. I felt that it was inept, corrupt and opaque."
Taylor denounced the "pollution" of corporate money that made this the costliest election in American history, and said he agrees with something Obama's campaign manager, Jim Messina, told him: that it's time for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's ruling in the Citizens United case, which lifted limits on corporate campaign spending.
He also denounced voter ID laws like those in Texas as "a solution without a problem" and called for turning Election Day into a national holiday to boost turnout.
"We have a day off for the Fourth of July, for Independence Day. Patriots' Day" -- a state holiday in Massachusetts, where the North Carolina native now lives – "Washington and Lincoln's birthday, Veterans Day. We have MLK day. Why can't we get a day off to go to the polls?" he said.
He'll never run for office, though. Alluding to a history of drug abuse, perhaps, he said: `With my personal history, that would be a massacre. It would be fun to cover though."
And he confessed, readily, that his favorite song is "Sweet Baby James," perhaps the only lullaby that refers to beer. Asked if he'd be willing to rewrite the line about the turnpike "from Stockbridge to Boston" now that the turnpike extends past Boston, he decided that would kill the rhyming scheme but would keep the option open if the MassPike ever runs to Texas. Austin, in particular.

I think the two episodes were "axed" by production before the race ever filmed. Otherwise, why would we have a start line in LA with first clues reading go to Ireland and not Belize? Was that filmed later and edited in?There may certainly have been plans for two other episodes at one time. But I do not believe that there were any "lost" episodes (as in filmed and not aired), particularly in Belize where all official evidence points to them never having actually entered the country.I would love to know just when it was decided to go with two fewer episodes though. Bet they are sorry now with the strike underway.
Saw Ari and Staella on TV Guide Channel "RealityChat" yesterday. ... what a couple of losers.... They said the donkey task took seven hours. That may be an exageration. FWIW, they said that the donkey went about 100 yards and stopped. Then they said they stayed there for 4 hours, then they pulled and dragged the donkey to the farm for the next 3 hours. They may be embellishing it a bit. Ba-bye!

Voters may soon be asked to pay for major improvements to the Bayou Blue Recreation Center.
Voters may soon be asked to pay for major improvements to the Bayou Blue Recreation Center.
Recreation District 11, which covers the Bayou Blue area, is seeking to borrow about $4.2 million to pay for numerous infrastructure improvements to the center.
To pay back that money over 20 years, the district will ask for increased tax rates for property owners in the area. The property tax for district residents would increase from 4.73 mills to about 14.13 mills, up 9.4 mills. A mill is a tax of $1 on every $1,000 worth of property.
A property owner with a $150,000 piece of property would annually pay about $70 more in taxes.
"We are not doing this to make money. We don't want to increase the maintenance budget," said Lloyd Olin, the district's director. "We just want to improve the facility's offerings to give more options for the kids."
The district has a long wish list of improvements the money would pay for. Those improvements include a water spray park, soccer fields, football field, two beach volleyball courts, a 150-foot pier on the Hollywood Canal and a youth fishing program.
Olin also said some of the money would be used to do general improvements to the park and deteriorating walking track. It would pay for new lighting for baseball fields and other sport areas. The district also wants to improve the drainage and add an outdoor pavilion and restroom.
"These infrastructure improvements have been talked about for 20 years," Olin said.
The center also features four baseball diamonds and two walking tracks — one of which has been condemned because of the asphalt's poor condition, Olin said.
Olin said the current tax assessment only covers general maintenance and operation of the center.
"There is no room for improvement," Olin said. "You are dealing with a 45-acre facility. We have a lot of expense with just keeping the grass cut."
The Lafourche Parish Council was set to debate the district's proposal being put to voters. But because of a procedural error, it will debate the issue in the coming month, said Council Chairman Lindel Toups.
If the council approves the request, the issue will be on the early May ballot.
The parish also recently appropriated $60,000 to build a new parking lot at the center.

Ebola Virus: For Want of Gloves, Doctors Die
Health Workers Believe Ebola's Toll on Staff Could Be Mitigated With More Basic Hospital Supplies
SERGEANT KOLLIE TOWN, Liberia—Rubber gloves were nearly as scarce as doctors in this part of rural Liberia, so Melvin Korkor would swaddle his hands in plastic grocery bags to deliver babies.
His staff didn't bother even with those when a woman in her 30s stopped by complaining of a headache. Five nurses, a lab technician—then a local woman who was helping out—cared for her with their bare hands.

A recent graduate from St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, I am now second priest at my beloved home parish of St. Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church in Langley, BC, Canada. I never imagined this was where God would lead me - my journey to Orthodoxy from the "Plymouth Brethren" was a relatively lengthy and tumultuous one - but it's good to be "home" in every sense of the word!
I have just finished a long and challenging year as a high-school English teacher at Maple Ridge Christian School, and am now starting a new secular job working at the Traditional Learning Academy's homeschool support centre, as well as the first steps towards establishing an Orthodox English-language mission in Vancouver. I enjoy reading (as you might imagine!), especially fantasy and science-fiction, writing, and setting up and developing web-sites (see the list of my sites, below), and, most commonly in my very limited time off, spending time with my wife and two children.

Hi, been searching on this forum and only see DIY float using core material/divinycell, which require cutting, glue and tie etc. and I never dealt with epoxy for sealing so I don't feel comfortable going that route.
With Nauticam just release their float arm, and I saw a photo at the bottom of this page (with two red bottle):
I'm wondering if any one has experience going this route, anything to look out for? How do you attach to your setup (zip tie vs velcro)? How well of a lift does it provide. These bottles are cheap yet very good looking (shinny and with color!) I do see many advantage like when putting the bottle in check in luggage, it's indestructible and very light weight.

"You… complete me- Jerry Maguire
The infamous quote of the century. My question is, how did Jerry KNOW that Dorothy could in fact COMPLETE him? Like she was the missing puzzle piece to his heart? (or she had his wallet…) There are countless movies, lyrics and books where they all in a round about way mention if you find the right mate who completes you, they will finally fill your every need and make all your dreams come true. (kind of a high standard right?)
From the textbook, "Sex, Love and Romance in the Mass Media," dating expert Mary Laner suggest, " that the depersonalization inherent in our mass media society might lead to unrealistically high expectations and individual longings for a close relationship in which one person will satisfy every need. " Does the song … "Some day my prince will come….Some day when my dreams come true.." sang by Snow White ring any bells? Admittedly, we have all grown up thinking there is only ONE person out there that can truly complete us and make us happy. The reality is, the higher the expectations, the harder we fall when they aren't met.
We see it in the movies, like most Disney and chick flicks, and also music lyrics with titles like "I can't live, if living is without you," and "You're nobody till somebody cares." Or you can go to the bookstore and buy the book, "From Your Lips to God's Ears…Finding Your Right Mate in 10 easy Steps. (All for the small price of $12.95) Some excerpts from the book, "Are you lonely? Do you long for that special someone to complete you? Do you think that the right mate is impossible to find? This is a very unique little book on how to find that special someone that may have been eluding you in this lifetime." (Not only do we have to find the person who completes us…but they may have been hiding?)
Having such idealistic views on who and how the right mate will complete you can only lead to disappointment and depression once your anxiety issues hit the fan. The path to success is to complete yourself instead of using that line, "You had me at hello," every chance you get.
The following are examples of where we might have gotten this illusion.
Books – Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty, and most romance novels
Movies – Pretty Woman, When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail!, An Officer & a Gentleman, Last of the Mohicans, Only You, Sleepless in Seattle, City of Angels, Only You
Television – 90210, Mad About You, Ozzie & Harriet, Dawson's Creek, I Dream of Jeanie
Music – You Complete Me, Because You Love Me, All of My Life
