Joseph Ripka's Mills. Manayunk, 21st Ward, Philadelphia. Manufacturer of All Description of Plain and Fancy Cottonades for Men and Boy's Clothing. Warehouse at 32 South Front Street
This advertising print from 1856 depicts the compound of large mill buildings belonging to Joseph Ripka's textile-manufacturing business, situated between the east bank of the Schuylkill River and the Manayunk Canal. The textile village of Manayunk was then the 21st ward of the city of Philadelphia. The rural scene on the hills in the background is dotted with trees and buildings. The text at the bottom describes the firm as a "manufacturer of all descriptions of plain and fancy cottonades for men & boy's clothing" and notes that the Ripka warehouse is located at 32 South Front Street. Erected in 1831 and 1835, Ripka's mills were part of one of the largest textile businesses in the United States at that time. From the 1840s to the mid-1850s Ripka sometimes had more than 1,000 workers. During the Civil War, the shrinking Southern demand for cottonades caused Ripka to file for bankruptcy. Ripka died in 1864. The print is by William H. Rease, the most prolific lithographer of advertising prints in Philadelphia during the 1840s and 1850s. Born in Pennsylvania circa 1818, Rease became active in his trade around 1844. Through the 1850s he mainly worked with printers Frederick Kuhl and Wagner & McGuigan in the production of advertising prints known for their portrayals of human details. Although Rease often collaborated with other lithographers, a listing in O'Brien's Business Directory indicates that by 1850 he had founded his own establishment at 17 South Fifth Street, north of Chestnut Street. After a partnership with Francis Schell that lasted from about 1853 to 1855, in 1855 he relocated his shop to the northeast corner of Fourth and Chestnut Streets, where, in addition to advertising prints, he produced certificates, views, maps, and maritime prints.

Synthetic generation of influenza vaccine viruses for rapid response to pandemics
Title:Synthetic Generation of Influenza Vaccine Viruses for Rapid Response to Pandemics

Our Discussion:
During the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, vaccines for the virus became available in large quantities only after human infections peaked. To accelerate vaccine availability for future pandemics, we developed a synthetic approach that very rapidly generated vaccine viruses from sequence data. Beginning with hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) gene sequences, we combined an enzymatic, cell-free gene assembly technique with enzymatic error correction to allow rapid, accurate gene synthesis. We then used these synthetic HA and NA genes to transfect Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells that were qualified for vaccine manufacture with viral RNA expression constructs encoding HA and NA and plasmid DNAs encoding viral backbone genes. Viruses for use in vaccines were rescued from these MDCK cells. We performed this rescue with improved vaccine virus backbones, increasing the yield of the essential vaccine antigen, HA. Generation of synthetic vaccine seeds, together with more efficient vaccine release assays, would accelerate responses to influenza pandemics through a system of instantaneous electronic data exchange followed by real-time, geographically dispersed vaccine production.

No-one can deny that eating out and getting another person ready your meals is a superb convenience. But, cooking your personal food in your own home has a number of advantages too.
For just one, typically, individuals who prepare in your own home can easier control their diet program. By consuming in a restaurant, to some large extent, you're in the whims from the chef. He might, for instance, salt foods greater than you need. Or, he might use oils or fats in cooking that you'd prefer not to use. Cooking in your own home enables you to definitely completely control the items in meals. So, if you're dieting, or just attempting to eat healthier foods, you are able to control the components.
Cooking in your own home does mean the foods that you select will most likely be in better health foods. When many people order dinners or meals to become delivered, chances are it will likely be from the junk food restaurant, like a pizzeria. Even though pizzas are extremely tasty, the majority are not recognized for their health advantages. Individuals that do their very own cooking, however, a minimum of attempt to incorporate a good balance of vegetables using their meals, even when they do not always succeed.
Additionally you cut costs whenever you prepare in your own home. For instance, you might easily pay $5 to $10 for any half pound hamburger in a sit lower restaurant. And, you'd need to tip the waiter. But, should you purchase the beef and ingredients yourself, you might have exactly the same hamburger for less than $2.
Obviously, why many people give because of not cooking in your own home is only a insufficient time. And, with many families requiring several incomes to reside on, it seems sensible they don't want to show this type of large chunk of time to cooking and doing dishes.
In reality, however, if you are planning the shopping, menus, and cooking – you will notice that it does not get you much additional time whatsoever. Additionally, for many recipes, the greatest area of the preparation process is chopping the components. But, today, you can purchase lots of these products pre-chopped, that it's hardly a problem.
And, you may also prepare in large quantities. So rather of cooking a casserole for 2, prepare enough for eight, and freeze the remainder in 2-portion sized containers. Then, next time you would like casserole, essentially, you've 3 TV dinners good to go.

Sculptures, Environments: Letters
From the intricate posing of the bodies he cast to the minute details of the materials that accompany them, Segal's works have the distinct ability to evoke uneasy intimacy and disrupt the separation between art and reality. As Segal described in 1963: "Few people are as yet familiar with my own attitudes toward the uncomfortably real objects I incorporate into the work and the actual space around them. The most direct way I can say it is that the objects (including the figures) are carefully and painfully chosen for formal and psychological reasons." As a testament to Segal's perspective, several of his letters to gallery owners and collectors candidly express his persistent commitment to displaying and representing his works, despite their vivid, fragile, and ironic configurations.


text: Recruiting leaders must realize that they are exposing their firm to "negligent hiring" charges if they fail to do everything possible to prevent the hiring of candidates who later go on to sexually harass. Prevention is key, because once sexual harassment occurs in your workplace, irreversible damage has already been done to both the individual and the company. Unfortunately, few firms have data-driven sexual harassment prevention initiatives. I have written extensively on how to predict/prevent sexual harassment, and it should be obvious to all that the first line of prevention defense should be screening them out during the hiring process. Unfortunately, most firms unwittingly allow toxic employees to get hired because they lack a specific assessment approach for pre-identifying them among their finalist candidates.

Obama's Administration looking for Contractors to supply 34 million green cards. Proposal for Greencard printing is on the govt website. It's a big news for the Immigration community who are waiting on Greencards for many years. It's a life changing news for people living in US Illegally and separated from families. It's a Game changing news in US Politics too.
Why Ordering for 34 million Empty Greencards is a Big news?
USCIS issue less than a million Greencards every year including Family, employee based category and Diversity visa lottery. Over the next 5 years USCIS may need only 5 million Empty cards. But this announcement if for 34 million Greencards.
President Obama has been stressing out that he would sign the executive order to issue Work permit to the Illegal immigrants living in this country and he would help the US Businesses by supporting High skilled immigration which is nothing but Greencards for Employment based categories. He clearly specified that he would take action after mid term elections on November 4th.
Key things in Greencard production Bid proposal
FedBizOpps.gov said it is planning to order these empty cards to prepare Permanent Resident Cards(PRC) and Employment Authorization Documentation (EAD).
Highlights of the proposal includes –
Vendor company must be able to Supply minimum of 4 million Greencards a year.
In the first year 9 million greencards may be needed.
Total order will not exceed 34 million.
They must store the empty card until government needs them.
What It means for Masters Students in USA, EB2 and EB3 categories?
With out giving EADs or Greencards to legal workers staying in USA govt can't issue GCs to Illegal immigrants. For sure EB2 and EB3 people will be the primary beneficiaries. Eliminating the country cap and increasing the number of greencards to EB2 and EB3 categories is expected.
Obama will do something good for Masters students directly since Immigration reform mentioned International Students who graduated from US Institutions will be given preference in Issuing Greencard . They might get a separate pipeline. Espicially Technology giants like Facebook, Google, Microsoft are looking for this and pushing the skilled immigration reform.
EAD for H4 visa holders another primary announcement OBama made couple of months back. Over a million un-employed spouses of H1B Visa workers will get immediate EAD if everything goes well.

A little bit ago, I received an email from a young but estalished indie filmmaker (won't say who), with 4 feature films on his resume (docs and scripted narratives) – 2 that we've covered on S&A in the last couple of years – with the following request, verbatim:
I'm wondering if you know of any good young established black actors who could play 19 years old? I'm developing a project and the lead is 19, male, coming of age, learning what it takes to become a man before becoming a champion. It's an indie film and I need someone who can carry a film on his back, drama, comedy, physical stuff too. Let me know if you have any ideas of who I should be looking at.
I thought about his question for a little bit, but realized how difficult it was for me to come up with names that fit his criteria – established black actor, can play 19, and can carry a film.
I was stumped, believe or not, as the names that immediately came to me where primarily musicians who'd turned to acting (like Bow Wow and Chris Brown); but surely there are others, and I'm just blanking on names, like Michael B. Jordan, or Brandon T. Jackson, Evan Ross (all in their mid-20s), or even Jaden Smith (but can he play 19? And would he even be interested in doing a small indie drama?). Can Lance Gross or Mehcad Brooks play 19? Chadwick Boseman?
I also thought maybe the filmmaker would have more luck looking at theater/stage actors.
As we've addressed in previous posts, this speaks to a lack of young, up-and-coming black actors who are being groomed to assume the roles left vacant by the aging older black actors.
But I told the filmmaker that I could post his request here, and see what names you folks mention that you think will fit his criteria, and he agreed to let me do that; so here ya go.
Chime in…

|Panda isn't going to school with you Ewan
We had a full class of 12 today. Because the size of the classroom is fairly large, we do not feel uncomfortable cooped up with 12 kids, 12 mums and 3 teachers. Also, the PlayNest classroom is a corner room with floor to ceiling windows which was bright and roomy. We walked into class with a whole room of toys for the children to warm up to as we waited for everyone to arrive. It was also a time for socialising with his classmates which comprised mostly of boys.
|Warm Up: Stacking
|Warm Up: Peek-a-Boo
|Warm Up: Musical Table
Here is Ewan's Art & Craft session with 张老师 where he got his hands dirty with paint. He was concentrating on what the teacher was guiding him through. So much so, he couldn't sit on his chair but stood throughout his craftwork. Mummy learnt a new word too! 海豚🐬 means Dolphin! Yahoo! We will be bringing his work home the next lesson when it's all dried up.
|Dribble the paint
|Hold the brush
|Start Painting Blue
|Let's make some waves
|Paste the Whale, Seahorse and Dolphin
Playground! The indoor playground is very well-equipped and very clean. There are sufficient ride-ons for all the children and there is no need to wait for a free horse or car to sit on. The wall murals are cheery, the puzzles are interactive and the playground itself is really fun. There were slides and tunnels for them to explore in. We had a great time. This is part of the 1.5 hour class and I forsee him looking forward to the playground each time.
|Driving Round and Round
|Wall-Mounted Puzzles
|Running Away
|The Playgruond
Finally, it's snack time after all the play. A round of organic apple puree for all and would your like juice or water sir? 李老师 assisted the children with their meals and went around serving them like they were little patrons of a restaurant. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my boy feeding himself happily to his apple puree. I realised that we belittle our children too much. If we had given them the opportunity to be self-reliant, they could actually do more. A lot of times, it is us as parents who impede their growing curve. We want less mess and faster results so we choose to do things on their behalves. Same for throwing that pacifier out of the window. We are too lazy to go through days of crying and choose the easy way out by letting them sleep with their dummies. Ewan didn't allow me to feed him today at school as he held onto his spoon tightly. He wanted to show his friends that he can do it on his own.
|Snack Time
|Here's how you scoop!
|I will finish up for you partner
Before signing up for ChengZhu, I heard about 陈老师. It was from Mayven and Finn's trial class 2 months ago that got us enrolled in 陈老师's class. Their mummies sang praises of her and what better way to choose a teacher by word of mouth. I read up on 陈老师 and found out that she was the Head of department for Parent Accompanied programmes in ChengZhu. 陈瑞珍老师 holds a Diploma in Early Childhood Education from Taipei Municipal Teacher's College and spent 7 years teaching at the kindergarten before coming to Singapore. She has been involved in Julia Gabriel's mandarin programmes since 1999. I am glad we joined her class. Her passion for working with children is evident in the way she speaks and plays with them. Ewan even walked up to her and requested for a hug.
Now for the fees per term. PlayNest's Term 4 commences on 16th September and ends on 1st December 2013 with 11 weeks of class (twice a week), which brings you to a total of 22 lessons for S$1,147 + 7% GST. There will be a refundable deposit per programme of S$200 before the end of term. Each lesson of 1.5 hours comes up to about S$55. We will not be continuing with Term 4's PlayNest because we will be in Europe in October. They do not replace classes unless your child had a medical certificate. So, I have decided to sign us up for PlayClub in 2014's Term 1 instead. By then, he would have been 18 months and his needs will also be different.
I would say Ewan enjoyed himself thoroughly at today's lesson. For mummy, I was totally knackered. Today is our first lesson of twenty and I am already dreading the next nineteen because of the hectic schedule I need to fit into our Tuesdays and Thursdays. No more lazy weekdays of sitting around in our living room and waiting for the next nap time. It was tiring running after a toddle toe but seeing him having fun, makes it all worthwhile. Also, I witnessed Ewan's self-feeding and sliding capabilities at class today and am especially proud.
Lastly, I learnt a new song! I now know how to sing Twinkle Twinkle in mandarin! Way to go mummy!

Fil-Ams Jalen Green, Kihei Clark, and Elijah Jackson talk about their NBTC experience.
by rick olivares
As the FilAm USA team wraps up its second stint in the SM-NBTC National Finals, its head coach, Bong Ulep and three of its players took the time to reflect on this unique basketball journey.
FilAm USA finished this trip with a 2-1 record as they booked an Elite Eight ticket where they fell to National University, 98-92.
In that match, 16-year old Jalen Green scored 51 points, a tournament record. Plus, his high-flying dunks and athleticism won over the crowd.
"It would have been nice to get to the next round, but with our seven-man rotation, we couldn't properly compete," explained Ulep. "We need at least a 10-man line-up. If (last year's sensation, seven-foot) Kamaka Hepa were here, we would have gone farther."
Hepa, the Texas-bound forward-center, broke his nose in a game right before the Manila trip.
"When we come over to Manila, hindi kami magdadala ng kung sino-sino, we bring kids here who for several reasons. First, it is to showcase their talent so the Philippines provides an option for them especially those with no US NCAA Division One offers. If possible, while chasing their NCAA and NBA dreams, they can also make themselves available for the Philippine national team; at least those who aren't playing for the US. And second, it is to re-connect with their roots. Many of them are third or fourth generation born in the United States. Their moms never even stepped foot here. So it's good to reconnect."
Speaking of reconnecting, 19-year old Kihei Clark who hails from Los Angeles and is bound for Atlantic Coast Conference school, Virginia, says he was aware of his Filipino roots from his mother's side. "My mom's family is from Ilocos but they moved to Hawaii a long time ago."
Kihei was named for the town in Western Hawaii where his parents first met. "Yeah, my name has a nice story to it and so does my game. My father, Malik Clark, played for Division 2 school, Hawaii-Hilo, so that is where I got my basketball inspiration," shared the 5'10 Clark. "But I was excited about coming over."
Despite his relative small size for his position, Clark plays much bigger than that. The court general was pursued by Georgia Tech, Gonzaga, and UCLA. "Going to Virginia, a top-ranked school, places me one step away from the ultimate dream and that is the NBA," said Clark who averaged 14.0 points, 9.5 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.2 steals versus 3.5 turnovers in the SM-NBTC National Finals.
Clark cites Tony Parker, Steve Nash, and Chris Paul as his influences.
On the other hand, the six-foot-six crowd-pleasing Jalen Green, who averaged a NBTC-high 33.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals, and 1.5 assists, points to Kevin Durant as his major inspiration. "His length, athleticism, his court savvy and he plays both ends of the court, I'd like to pattern my game after him," disclosed Green. "When I was a kid, I played baseball and soccer, but when I started playing basketball, I said, 'I could do something with this' so I started practicing harder. When I told my parents I want to concentrate on being the best possible basketball player I can be, they pushed me to get better and perform at a higher level.
Green, who has represented the United States in an age group that already forbids him from representing the Philippines, is described by Ulep as someone who keeps his feet firmly on the ground despite all the accolades and hype even over in the United States.
"It's very exciting but I block out all the hype and keep my head tight," said Green. "Knowing people say good things, I feel happy but I don't want it to get to my head."
"I wanted to win," added Green of the loss to NU. "Although we came up short, I am happy about this experience. And it's nice to know that I broke the NBTC scoring record. That wasn't something I was after because I wanted the W. For me, the biggest thing is there is someone in the crowd who has never seen my play so I want them to think good things."
The third in FilAm Sports' heralded trio is 17-year old Elijah Jackson who has committed to Eastern Washington University. The EWU Eagles play in the Big Sky Conference. "The Eagles were the first team that recruited me and when I visited, I fell in love with their program, system, and coaching staff," said Jackson. "I am very excited about this opportunity. I just have to keep working every day if I want a chance to go to the NBA."
"Manila is always a place I wanted to go since my family has never been here," shared Jackson. "I am now the first in my family to step foot here."
With regards to his new teammates in FilAm Sports, Jackson says the whole trip has been a richly rewarding one. "Because of basketball, I get to travel, meet people, and see the opportunities in front of me. But for this trip -- these are great dudes," he said referring to his teammates. "And it is an honor to play with them as they are going to good places."
Collectively, Clark, Green, and Jackson expressed that the consolation for exiting the NBTC tourney is they have had a chance to go around town. "The breakfast isn't so bad," said Clark.
"I always thought that chicken adobo was my favorite but I think chicken tocino is right up there now as well," summed up Green.

Just 200 kilometres from Bangkok in the Gulf of Thailand, the T-shaped island of Ko Samet is famed for its white sandy beaches, exotic coral and crystal clear waters. Ko Samet has developed steadily over the past decade or so, but it hasn't been the victim of over zealous construction which has hit the likes of Ko Samui (or even Ko Chang). The island is typified for its splendid beaches and white silky sand, surrounded by tropical coral reefs and crystal clear sea. Tourists can also enjoy a plethora of delicious cuisine and fine nightlife.
Arriving in Koh Samet
Koh Samet is approximately 200 kilometres from Bangkok and can be accessed by taxi in about 2½ hours. Taxis from Bangkok to Ban Phe, where the ferry to visit Koh Samet departs, cost 1,600 to 2,500 baht. Note that most taxis will insist on a fixed fare due to the long distance.
If you're travelling to visit Koh Samet from Bangkok, it's best to ask your hotel to request a taxi for you, as many taxis called off the street will refuse the fare. Taxis to Ban Phe are also available from Suvarnabhumi Airport, usually at a fixed fare of 2,000 to 2,500 baht. Buses leave from Ekamai Bus Station in Bangkok several times daily and take about 3½ hours to complete the journey. There are also minivan services to Ban Phe, which depart from Victory Monument and make the journey in about 2½ hours. If you've arrived at Ban Phe late or just want to travel straight to your beach, you can get to the island significantly faster on a private speedboat. Speedboats are available 24 hours a day and make the trip between Ban Phe and Koh Samet in 15-20 minutes.
Prices for speedboat transfers vary based on the beach you're travelling to. Beaches located on the eastern side of Koh Samet are typically the cheapest, with the cost of transfers to the more remote beaches on the island's western coastline often 2,000 baht or more. Most of Ko Samet, including all the good parts, is part of Khao Laem Ya-Mu Ko Samet National Park and thus has an entry fee. Thais pay 40 baht for adults, 20 baht for children (current as of October 2015); foreigners pay 200 baht for adults, 100 baht for children (current as of October 2015). This two-tier pricing policy is applicable to all national parks. If you can explain, however, that you actually live or work in Thailand, then you may not have to pay the "tourist" price. One excuse for the difference is that "Thai citizens pay taxes". If you are a teacher and work in Thailand you may bring out some form of Thai ID – Driver's License, Teachers card or something like that and you will get the Thai fee. It seems like the fee is only during peak tourist season, as several tourists walk in and out without buying the pass.
If your ferry arrives at the main pier and you take a songtheaw to the beaches, there will be a stop at the main ticket checkpoint. The journey from the pier to the town centre is a fairly short stroll, taking less than ten minutes. If your ferry arrives at one of the beaches, an officer will collect the fee as you step out of the surf. Note that there is plenty of foot traffic in and out of the park to the 7-Eleven, ATM or other shops and restaurants and if you have no bags you can nonchalantly walk into the park without anyone checking your ticket. There is a road via the temple which avoids the checkpoint entirely. Note: some bungalows might give the impression that the entry fee is included in their booking, but it is not. You may also be asked to pay the park entry fee when boarding the ferry on the mainland, but if you mention you are staying outside the park boundaries they won't make you pay.
Getting around when you visit Koh Samet
There is a single main road and short, bumpy dirt roads branching off to the beaches. The distance from the main town by the port to the beaches is not actually very great, much of it can be reached on foot by walking along the coastline. Many tourists are not aware of this & end up hiring vehicles they do not really need if all they intend to do is go to and from the main town.
You can take a songthaew (usually a green pickup truck with two benches in the back and no roof), which costs up to 600 baht for a private trip, or between 20 and 100 baht per person for a full car, depending on which beach you are going to. The alternative is renting a scooter for 100 Baht/hr 200-300 Baht/day. Gasoline is often included. You can try and negotiate better deals for 3 or 6 hours if that is all you want. It is best to hire one from close to the pier (Hat Sai Kaew) where there are many deals. Rental prices tend to increase as you move away from the main pier. The roads are of a good quality but there are some steep hills towards the South of the island. Leaving your passport or a deposit is not necessary or advisable. Also available are ATV (4 wheeled motorbikes) for around 400 Baht/1hr or 1200 Baht/day or golf cars.
Staying in Koh Samet
Most of the accommodation centers around the beaches on the east coast; try to arrive on the island as early as possible to have the best selection to choose from. Tourist season on Ko Samet is generally from November till February and from June till August, at which time finding vacant accommodation can be a challenge. Also, beware of weekends and public holidays — the island then fills up like crazy!
The northern-most beaches of Hat Sai Keaw and Ao Hin Kok have many bugalow operations with typical Thai concrete bunker-style rooms. If your room doesn't have air-conditioning it can get a little hot during the day At the very northern end are a few upscale resorts. At beaches further south you'll find the bungalows ranging from dismal shacks to four-star, air-conditioned mini suites. You can stay upmarket or downmarket when you visit Koh Samet.
Areas of Koh Samet
Most beaches are on the eastern side of the island. The beaches hide in small bays and stretch some 200 m. From the north, there are Hat Sai Kaeo, Hat Hin Khrong, Hat Khlong Phai, Ao Phutsa, Ao Thapthim, Ao Naun, Ao Cho, Ao Thian, Ao Wai, Ao Kio Na Yok and Ao Karang. The only beach on the western side is Ao Phrahis. Note, the spelling of beach names can vary.
How long to stay in Koh Samet
Ko Samet is a laid back island paradise where the emphasis is less on things to do and more on enjoying the islands beaches. For those people who do want something to do, the island does have a few activities to enjoy if the beauty of the beaches is not quite enough to keep you occupied. From the simplest of activities such as walks along the beach, all the way through to taking your PADI Scuba Diving certificate, there is an array of ways to keep yourself active. Stay a couple of days, stay a week…..just enjoy this island paradise.
Thanks to Wikitravel for this great information about Koh Samet

According to the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, a June 23 drug raid focused on a variety of dealers with connections to two loosely tied organizations that distribute drugs throughout at least three counties in the state. Law enforcement officials detained 48 individuals accused of being drug dealers, including three Birdsboro resents, authorities reported.
Pennsylvania man gets 2 years in theft of 900 cellphones
A Pennsylvania man who formerly worked for Verizon has been sentenced to two years' imprisonment after pleading guilty to the theft of 900 cellphones and accessories in a Newark, New Jersey federal court. The 35-year-old man will also be under supervised release for two years after he completes his prison term and must pay restitution of $303,623. The sentence was announced on June 24.
6 charged in business fraud
On June 6 it was announced that a Pennsylvania family faces numerous charges for fraud related to their alleged illegal dumping of waste products and overbilling of customers. Six people, including the owner of the environmental company, were charged in the Minuteman case after a grand jury indictment.
Doctor wants new trial after conviction
A Pennsylvania doctor is seeking a new trial in his drug case after learning that the lawyer that was representing him was under investigation for suspicion of being involved with drugs. The man's current legal team has relied on the holding in a similar case involving federal charges to help support its legal position.
Fugitive Pennsylvania doctor detained in Panama
A former Johnstown doctor has been detained in Panama and is expected to be returned to the United States. According to federal prosecutors, he will be transported to Pittsburgh to appear before a federal magistrate in relation to health care fraud and income tax charges. The 64-year-old doctor initially came under investigation after the Cambria Country Drug Task Force suspected him of over-prescribing narcotics in 2001, according to a criminal complaint filed on the matter in 2008.
Defense claims breach of attorney-client confidentiality
After entering a not guilty plea to fraud charges last year, the attorney for the founder of an online Pennsylvania charter school is asking a federal judge to dismiss the charges against his client. A motion filed by the defense claims that some of the evidence includes illegal recordings of telephone conversations in which attorneys gave the defendant legal advice. The defense motion characterizes the conversations as protected by attorney-client confidentiality rules.
Pennsylvania man accused of ties to Mexican drug cartel
A 65-year-old man has been accused of being involved with a Mexican drug cartel for nearly two decades. The man, who was born in Mexico but is now a legal citizen of the U.S., is facing federal drug charges. Law enforcement officials conducted a raid on his property.
University of Pennsylvania researcher charged with fraud
A man formerly employed by the University of Pennsylvania as a cancer researcher has been charged for crimes related to the embezzlement and theft of federal grant money and property, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The researcher allegedly funneled money and research equipment purchased with federal grants into a private business that sells DNA research materials while he was employed at the university. An estimated total of $ 656,000 were given towards the man's research through the grants, but the indictment did not state how much money the man allegedly stole.
Internet crimes can land you in prison, so if you're charged with one, it's best to seek advice on how to best protect your interests. Web site fraud, Internet sex crimes and child pornography are just some of the things that count as criminal acts on the Internet, but these kinds of charges can be difficult to prove. You may want to consider this case while you think about what to do for yours.

A cliché is a phrase, expression, or idea that has been overused to the point of losing its intended force or novelty, especially when at some time it was considered distinctively forceful or novel. It is generally used in a negative context.
"Cliché" applies also to almost any situation, subject, characterization, figure of speech, or object—in short, any sign—that has become overly familiar or commonplace.
Because the novelty or frequency of an expression's use varies across different times and places, whether or not it is a cliché depends largely on who uses it, the context in which it is used, and who is making the judgment.
The meaning of a particular cliché may shift over time, often leading to confusion or misuse. An example of a cliché is "It's a trap!"
Other meanings
A cliché is also a term historically used in printing, for a printing plate cast from movable type. This is also called a stereotype.

The Sheffield Steeldogs are excited to confirm a new partnership with one of the biggest brands in the UK Ice Hockey Community as we become the Puckstop.com Sheffield Steeldogs.
Established in 1995, Puck Stop is the UK's leading Ice and Inline Hockey specialist store, offering a huge selection of equipment at very competitive prices – based just across the road from iceSheffield. They are a family run business that pride themselves on understanding what players require – because they are players. The majority of their staff have either played or still play hockey giving them a key insight in to the customer's needs.
They have the UK's largest selection of Ice and Inline Hockey equipment; ranging from helmets, shoulder pads, hockey pants, shin pads, goalie equipment, to hockey sticks, skates and everything else you may need to compete at any level, with brands including Bauer, CCM, Warrior, Easton, True, Grit, Acon and many, many more. Whether you're coming in to the store or shopping online, Puckstop.com can provide the gear you need.
Richard Day, Puck Stop's owner, is happy to be making links with another team; "We are very proud to continue our support and association of hockey at all levels, and in this instance, the Sheffield Hockey Community as new title sponsors of the Sheffield Steeldogs. We've seen many of the players progress through the Hockey ranks, and want to also show our support for the new league format as a place for British talent to develop and grow the game".
Steeldogs co-owner Ali Cree welcomes this extended partnership; "We have worked with Puckstop.com previously but it is a great honour to have them as our title sponsor.
"They always make a massive effort to provide each and every one of their customers with a professional and extremely knowledgeable service. From goalies getting sorted head to toe in kit to a mad game day rush to repair a lost edge or source a much needed stick, we are taken care of fantastically.
"Puck Stop have always been a massive promoter of hockey across the board supporting, ice, inline and ball hockey at Club, National and International levels so to partner with them in this way we are simply thrilled. We hope to assist with building the continued brand growth of Puckstop.com across the UK and further and the good work that they do in not only business but for the greater hockey community".
You can see the Puckstop.com Sheffield Steeldogs in action at iceSheffield on Sunday September 17th when Steve Duncombe brings his Blackburn Hawks for our first home game of the season.

Want A Normal Delivery? - 8 Useful Pregnancy Tips For Normal Delivery
While the thought of having a child is something almost every woman looks forward to, the thought of childbirth drives her to nightmares. The C-section is an easier option, but the post-operative care and restrictions can be a put off.
8 Tips That Make Normal Childbirth Easier To Deal With
You've heard enough stories from mom and grandmomabout normal delivery to make you squirm. How can something so big come out from something so small! And the pain, and the screaming, and the sweating?
Before you opt for the easy way out and consider a C-section, here are some benefits of normal delivery you should know:
Benefits of normal delivery
- No surgery – C-section is a major surgery. As a result, this could also involve numerous health risks which involve bleeding, infection and scarring.
- You're home sooner – as there's no post-op care required, you're home in just a few days. And without any restrictions.
- Bonding with the baby is faster - as it is easier for the mother to hold her baby immediately.
- Babies have a stronger immune system – as the baby passes through the birth canal, it receives a healthy dose of good bacteria which can protect immune and digestive system.
Still not convinced? Even though childbirth is akin to a horror movie script, there are ways you can make it comfortable. These 8 tips for normal delivery will help you handle labour pains and transition smoothly into the delivery process:
- Exercise regularly: even if you've been a couch potato all your life, it's never too late to start exercise for normal delivery. Exercise to strengthen your thighs and pelvic muscles that will help you cope with labour. These are the muscles required for labour and can get exhausted easily; seeing the woman giving up due to exhaustion prompts doctors to opt for a C-section delivery. So focus on squats and other lower body exercises but make sure you find someone to teach you the right technique. Check out this pelvic floor muscles exercises that will help you prepare for normal delivery at Reward Me.
- Stay away from stress: make a conscious effort to do so as stress reduces the production of oxytocin, a hormone that causes the contractions during labour. This will only prolong the discomfort. Training your mind to remain stress-free will help you breeze through labour.
- Breathe correctly: we tend to take our breathing for granted. Correct breathing techniques ensure an adequate oxygen intake which reduces stress, boosts energy and adds to the baby's growth and development.
- Stay away from other people's stories: you do not want to have any pre-conceived notions or misconceptions influencing you and adding to your fears. If you follow these normal delivery tips, you should find yourself having a safe and comfortable delivery.
- Follow a nutritious diet: a daily diet rich in the right vitamins and essential nutrients will give you the strength to combat labour as well as nourish your baby's growth and position it for a smooth delivery. Ignore food myths.
- Keep your weight in check: while the occasional cravings are acceptable, make sure not to overindulge as an overweight mother could face other medical complications.
- Read up on advice given by medical experts: Do not believe everything you read on the internet. Trust only the advice given by medical experts.
- Have a strong support system: having your family by your stride builds your emotional strength. which makes a normal delivery easier to deal with.

the initial years as we forge the way ahead together were tough. Thank God those days are behind us. the going can still get a lil' rough after 15 years, but it's much better. heehee.
Hubbie likes to remind me that we are a "Team" -- especially when i am giving him a hard time ;p he will remind me that the "enemy" is not within!! hahaha.
Admittedly, i can be a "challenging" team member but i do remind myself (whenever i am rational!!) to be as "supportive" a team member as possible -- and to put the team's interest first so that the team can flourish :) Of course, i'd like to see myself as a able helper too -- the able assistant that helps leader to succeed and one that the leader cannot do without.
I may not do it as well as i intend to, but i will try. :)
Actions speak louder than words. But i suppose what is written is a commitment, my commitment to the journey ahead of us. And i am reminded of the verbal commitment which I made 15 years ago.
"Don't ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God."
Happy 15th Anniversary Dear !!

Women's Liberation Radio News Podcast Transcript
Episode 1: Women's Reproductive Freedom & the Purvi Patel Case
Transcribed by Niki Mohammadian
"Real Voice" by Thistle Pettersen:
But through the hallways of academia
And on the face of the moon
The footprints of conquest
Haven't left us any room
To say what we think, or
To speak what we know
To hear different voices
At least a sound from below.
Elizabeth MCKEOWN: Greetings and welcome to the first edition of Women's Liberation Radio News. Our goal is to produce a monthly radio broadcast to break the sound barrier women are blocked by under the status quo rule of men. This blocking of women's discourse and ideas we see in all sectors of society, be they conservative, liberal, mainstream, progressive, or radical. The thread that runs through all of American politics and ties it all together is male dominance in all spheres. My name is Elizabeth McKeown and my background is in advocating radical birth autonomy against the patriarchal model. I am the author of In Search of the Perfect Birth and I have a special concentration in reproductive rights for girls and women. I will be reporting later on the Purvi Patel case, which is the case of a woman being arrested after a miscarriage in Indiana.
Thistle PETTERSEN: And hi, my name is Thistle Pettersen. Welcome to the first edition of Women's Liberation Radio News. My background is in sociology and Spanish on the academic side of things, but I have developed a small singer-songwriter career and I am a volunteer community organizer and activist with Madison Action for Mining Alternatives, an environmentalist organization that stands in solidarity with Wisconsinites fighting big corporate resource extractors that plague our state. I have a background in producing radio programs via the access hour on my community radio station, WORT 89.9 FM in Madison. In the early 2000s I produced programs with Latino youth highlighting and bringing to the airwaves underrepresented voices from the Spanish-speaking immigrant community in my city. Most recently I aired a documentary of the last Michigan Womyn's Music Festival and a live interview with Sheila Jeffreys, a lesbian feminist professor of political science and author of Gender Hurts. We are creating WLRN to be a new feminist news service that will bring underrepresented and challenging voices to the fore for a more just and balanced world.
"Sister Voices" by Thistle Pettersen:
We keep on walking, walking
Walking in a haze
Hoping that one day
We'll rise above the burning blaze
Of a society gone mad
Of a people insane
The whole world at arm's length
Our silent efforts are all in vain
MCKEOWN: On today's broadcast we will interview Lierre Keith, ecofeminist author and small-scale urban farmer, about the important differences between liberal feminism and radical feminism to give the listener a broad overview of why WLRN is hoping to forge new territory in the field of women's radio news. But now, the headlines and my report for today's broadcast.
This past September, the state of Indiana denied the appeal of Purvi Patel, who was convicted of feticide in 2014 and has begun serving a twenty-year jail sentence. The Court of Appeals later agreed this past January to hear arguments from both sides, which will take place on May 23rd. The Walk for Life, an anti-abortion demonstration, took place the weekend of January 23–24 in Washington D.C. and San Francisco. Counter-protests occurred, including one by a group called Stop Patriarchy. This came on the heels of the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which was on January 22nd.
A financial incentive program to bring more women to birth in hospitals in India has shown to be ineffective in reducing the maternal and neonatal mortality rates, particularly in poorer regions. Without adequate socio-economic support to elevate overall conditions, these in-hospital numbers are not expected to improve, giving credence to the theory that life situation, and not childbirth itself, is what threatens safety of delivery.
A California woman sued her doctor and won after a video captured a disturbing forced episiotomy during delivery. Dr. Alex Abbassi surrendered his license in what his lawyer described as "age-related cognitive defects" as his reason. Forced episiotomies and other forms of birth rape are not uncommon however, although they are not always captured on film.
PETTERSEN: And now, here is Elizabeth McKeown with our featured story.
MCKEOWN: Choices in childbirth, including whether or not to go through with it, have always been regulated for women against our wishes. When Purvi Patel entered the ER for heavy bleeding back in 2013, a doctor on site, who was also part of an anti-abortion group, alerted the authorities. Patel was arrested in July of 2013 when it was determined that she had given birth. Patel alleges a stillbirth and disposed of the fetus in a trash receptacle, a point which was used against her to show ill intent. The state worked hard to attempt to prove in court that her baby had been born live and allowed to die, while the charge against her remained feticide. Curiously, the charge of neglect was added, in apparent contradiction to feticide. Dr. Kelly McGuire was one of the examiners of the fetus, which was determined by them to not have been born still. Dr. Maguire is a member of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
The state alleged that Patel took abortion drugs to self-induce a miscarriage, even though taking abortion medication, in and of itself, is not illegal in the state of Indiana. Ordering the pills online without a prescription is against the law. Abortion itself, however, is legal in the state only under very strict guidelines with a physician. They were not able to produce any evidence that Patel, in fact, ingested the medication. The proof came from text messages on Patel's phone in which she informed a friend she purchased the drugs from Hong Kong and had taken them for the purpose of ending the pregnancy. The drugs she allegedly took to induce her own abortion were misoprostol and mifepristone. Misoprostol, commonly called Cytotec, is a drug used to induce uterine spasms or contractions with relative strength and speed. It is used in many countries for abortion as well as for inducing labor, despite it being contraindicated for pregnant women and childbirth due to likelihood of uterine rupture. Prevention and treatment of stomach ulcers is the intended use of the drug, although doctors have been routinely ignoring ill effects in recent childbirth history. While not proven, it is still entirely possible Purvi Patel took abortion-inducing drugs. Cytotec is metabolized rapidly and would be undetectable after only hours or minutes. However, are we going to lock up a woman for twenty years over a text message as evidence? If you could actually prove Patel gave herself an abortion, was the crime of letting herself do it over a doctor worth twenty years' imprisonment? And, if she is guilty of delivering a live baby and neglecting it, how is that feticide?
When self-induced abortions become a crime, every miscarriage and stillbirth requires us to scrutinize the mother. As it stands now, we live in a society that.scrutinizes mothers who truly lack good information on their reproductive health and rights far more than we scrutinize the doctors and other healthcare professionals who oversee them and are expected to be experts in their fields.
"Real Voice" by Thistle Pettersen:
So speak out, speak over, speak under
Speak through the noise
Speak loud so I can hear you
I wanna know you, I wanna hear your real voice
I wanna hear your real voice, your real voice
PETTERSEN: As promised, we will now be talking with Lierre Keith, ecofeminist and author. I began our interview by asking her what the key differences are between liberal and radical feminism.
Lierre KEITH: I think anybody who calls herself a feminist would agree that women are human beings and we deserve universal human rights. That's why they're called universal —because everybody should have them, and because we are hurt when we don't have them. So I think that there's generally a sense, whether you're liberal or radical, that things are not fair in this world and that women are hurt in various ways. From there it diverges, and I think there's sort of a classic difference between liberals and radicals generally, and then you can apply that to feminism. But to really understand this you have to understand that difference.
To make it quick, liberals generally believe that society is made up of individuals, so that's the basic unit of society is the individual person. And in fact, in this world view, individualism is so sacrosanct that being identified as the member of a group is where the harm lies. That's what they say creates social harm or social disadvantage, is saying that women are women, or pointing out that black people are black, and that that's where the harm is—in treating people differentially, in noticing that. For radicals it's completely different. Radicals see society as made up of groups of people, and some of those groups have power over other groups. So being a member of a group is not where the affront lies, in fact identifying with that group is your first step, really, towards political consciousness and ultimately effective action—you have to make common cause with the people who share your condition. So the things that are happening to you are not happening just randomly. It's not because your name is Robin and you like to play the flute, it's because you're a woman and you're a black woman and you're a poor black woman. And other women who share that condition will have life experiences that match yours, and it's not until you get together and confront those life experiences that you start to understand: well, this is all of us, it's not just me, it's not because I was unlucky or I was bad or I deserved it somehow, it's all of us. And, you know, you put it together—so these various institutions have all made this be true, and the only way we're going to change it is by fighting together.
So that's the difference ultimately between the liberal and radical viewpoint. I would say the other cardinal difference between liberals and radicals is that the nature of social reality is something different. For liberals, they call this idealism, so it's idealist, and it means that social reality is formed by attitudes and ideas. And so social change happens through rational argument and education. That's the liberal side, and for radicals again it's really different, it's materialism. So society is organized by concrete systems of power, by institutions, not by thoughts and ideas. It's a material arrangement. So for radicals the solution is to take those systems apart, because once you see them, of course, you realise—well, this is going to have to come down . Liberals, on the other hand, their main goal is to always educate, because if social change happens because of people changing their minds, of course education's going to be your main form of struggle.
And it's not that radicals think that education's unimportant—I mean, of course, you have to help people come to consciousness, achieve an analysis of their situation, and of course education does that. You know, I'm a writer, and I believe in trying to reach people, but that's just the beginning. It's an important first step. Beyond that, the real goal is to change those material institutions. So those are the two differences, I think, between liberalism and radicalism, and how this applies to feminism—you know, we might have common goals sometimes, but I think that the ultimate goal for radical feminism is to bring these systems down. And for liberals that's not necessarily true, because they don't see the overall power structure as the problem, it's just that women don't have parity inside it.
And I remember when I was, I don't know, maybe 19 or 20—already a very radical kind of young person—and I took a women's studies class. I remember the professor being asked that question—how will we know when feminism has won? And she said—I still haven't forgotten this like forty years later or thirty years later—she said, "We'll know when half of the CEOs are women." I mean, my jaw just about hit the floor. I was like, "Are you kidding me? I don't want to be an equal member of a society that's based on nothing but hierarchy and domination and exploitation." The point was to bring that all down, so that we all had equal say over the conditions of our lives. That, I think, is the big dividing line, is that they don't, overall, see the nature of the system as a whole. It's just: in any given situation are women being treated the same? And again, that's not really the issue. I don't really want to be treated the same as a rich white man. I don't want anybody to get treated like a rich white man. And likewise, on the other side, I don't want anybody to get treated like the least of the least of us, either. I mean, nobody should be lacking human rights and water and food and medicine, the things that we all need to have a decent life.
And so the power structure has to come down, and the people at the very bottom have to be lifted up. That ultimately, to me, is the goal of radical feminism. And you can look at campaigns, like reproductive rights certainly would be a big one, where you can see that radicals and liberals are certainly going to work on that both, but we're going to have goals that are different at the end of the day. There's always, every movement has—if it's going to make social change, it's got to be broad enough to encompass a lot of people. And I'm, I mean, I'm not someone who wants to vilify people who are liberals, it's not really—it doesn't help, but it's good to know what the differences are because when you have these kinds of conflicts in groups, when it's a political nature, it's often about the division between liberals and radicals. And when you see the pattern you can say, "Oh, wait a minute, this is because you're really coming from a liberal framework, so we're never going to see eye to eye. Can we still work together?" And then at least you can get something done.
PETTERSEN: That was Lierre Keith speaking on the differences between liberal and radical feminism.
"Sister Voices" by Thistle Pettersen:
I'm afraid to speak, I'm afraid
What I've got to say
I'm afraid you'll weep
And then go back to sleep
But in the early morning
When I rise…
And now, to conclude this first broadcast of WLRN, we will interview Elizabeth Hungerford, feminist writer and non-practising attorney living in Massachusetts. Her work is primarily on the subject of gender identity, with an interest in the difference between sex and gender. Laws such as feticide uniquely impact female-bodied people, so we're happy to have her here today to hear her input.
MCKEOWN: Hi Elizabeth.
Elizabeth HUNGERFORD: Hi Elizabeth!
MCKEOWN: Thanks for joining us.
HUNGERFORD: Thank you for having me on.
MCKEOWN: So I wanted to ask you, could you just start by just talking a little bit about the history of feticide as a charge, in terms of its origin and intended application?
HUNGERFORD: Absolutely. Feticide laws are not a new phenomenon, they have been on the books in many states in the US for decades. But the original intent of the statutes was to protect pregnant women and their unborn fetuses from third-party actors. So, for example, if you had domestic violence perpetrated against a pregnant woman, the feticide laws would allow for prosecution of harm to both the mother and the fetus. They're starting to be applied in a way that was not originally intended.
MCKEOWN: Okay, so how can feticide be proven for a conviction?
HUNGERFORD: Well, it depends on the age of the fetus, and that's something that can be difficult to determine. For example, in the case of Purvi Patel, there was no way to determine when she first became pregnant and the age of her fetus was contested. So this is a place where law and medicine don't exactly match.
MCKEOWN: Last year Purvi Patel was convicted of feticide for what would have possibly been a miscarriage, and then a few years before that, Bei Bei Shuai tried to kill herself with rat poison while pregnant and was also charged with feticide. Both of these took place in the state of Indiana. And now, just recently, we have the new law in that state against aborting a fetus with certain abnormalities. Do you have any insight into what is going on with reproductive justice in Indiana? Or is Indiana unique in its law, in the way it's prosecuted?
HUNGERFORD: Those are great questions. The Indiana law is not unique in the way that it is written, and that's part of what I think is so scary about this situation. The difference in the Patel and the Shuai case is the way that the law was utilized to prosecute women themselves rather than third-party actors. So in Patel's case, the charges that the prosecutor chose to bring were unique, and the way that the case was put through the trial was also unique. For example, one of the issues in the Patel case was whether her fetus was born alive or not. So they were trying to determine, was the fetus alive or not at the time that she allegedly miscarried? And the judge allowed some particular evidence to come before the jury, that is called the float test, and—just briefly—they take the fetus's body and surgically remove the lungs and place them in water. If the lungs float, it is assumed that the fetus took at least one breath. Now, this is a test that has been discredited for almost a hundred years, and there are other ways that air can get into a fetus's lungs. Which is not to mention that just because a fetus took a breath does not mean that it was a sustainable life. And this evidence was potentially pivotal to the outcome of the case. The judge's decision to allow that information to come before the jury was necessary for the conviction.
MCKEOWN: Is there potentially something strategic about the state of Indiana targeting women of color, or these particular women of color?
HUNGERFORD: Well you are certainly not alone in asking that question. I think it is certainly suspicious. I think that strategically what Indiana is doing is targeting more vulnerable women, who may not have access to healthcare or legal resources, in order to establish a precedent that they can then apply to all women. And I know in Bei Bei Shuai's case, she did not have access to legal representation at the time. And she ended up spending, I think, about a year in jail because of that. We can see that establishing that precedent had many potentially damaging downstream consequences for other women in the state and possibly across the country. Some of these laws have been used in other cases, such as women who have delayed caesarian surgery. I believe there was a case of a woman who fell down the stairs and was prosecuted under a feticide law. So basically any woman who cannot guarantee a positive or a "normal" outcome to her pregnancy could be vulnerable to prosecution under these laws.
MCKEOWN: Right, and that is exactly one of my concerns. Actually that does lead into my next question for you, which is: what are the legal implications women face when potential natural miscarriage, or even self-induced abortion, can be criminalized as if it were homicide? I think you kind of touched on that there, but was there anything else that you could elaborate on with that?
HUNGERFORD: Some people call it the criminalization of pregnancy. That you could be prosecuted for murder if you had, god forbid, a miscarriage—that is just terrifying.
MCKEOWN: Yeah, I mean I'm thinking about a world where a woman has a miscarriage or a stillbirth or is proven to have induced her own abortion at home, but with any of these being brought in to trial or having doctors give their determinations where we're using this really archaic means that apparently aren't scientifically accurate or useful, is really alarming because a lot of women have no control over these but now they're being held completely accountable. To me, that's very frightening.
HUNGERFORD: The idea that something like that could result in a prosecution for murder—it's hard to believe.
MCKEOWN: When it comes to the reproductive rights of women and girls, are there any approaches within feminism which turn out to be detrimental to the cause or our overall freedom and autonomy?
HUNGERFORD: Choice is something that we hear a lot. All women have choices, it's empowering! But you look at Purvi Patel or Bei Bei Shuai—they were in a state where abortion was legal. They ostensibly had the same choices as other women but that did not protect them. There's financial access, there's even cultural access. One of the concerns in Purvi Patel's case was that she didn't want to share her pregnancy with her family. You have to ask what good is a choice—you know, it's strictly legal. So I think that approaching the right to abortion or access to abortion merely as a choice is a very privileged approach. Abortion has to be not only legal but it has to be accessible and it also has to be socially acceptable.
MCKEOWN: Is there anything that our listeners can do to help Purvi Patel or to stop this from becoming an increasing trend within the justice system?
HUNGERFORD: Something that I noticed in reading about the Bei Bei Shuai case was that public pressure on prosecutors and judges is one way to potentially support women who are in this situation. A need remains to document these cases.
