Re. "Looking back on the silver screen," (Forum, Aug. 29):
Jim Carnett's article brought up some not-so-pleasant realizations of which everyone is aware, but probably not paramount in our everyday thinking.
The subject, of course, is leaving this place forever, dying, buying the farm, cashing in your chips, or as Jim puts it, "An expiration date awaits each of us."
He uses as an illustration, the 1946 film "Gilda" with Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford, and makes the observation — actually Jim's wife, Hedy, made the observation — that all the stars in that movie are long gone.
Jim then goes into some detail regarding the making of the picture, or for that matter any picture, with a statement that "the film is a compilation of routine workdays," meaning the actors were just doing their job.
And yes, we are all aware of what it takes to make a movie that entails such items as detailed scripts, camera people, crews for the different parts of the movie, various sets, etc. I personally, at times, have thoughts of the actors reading lines with all those other people off to the side watching them.
If one thinks about a movie in those terms, it will invariably and adversely affect how we view movies. But most of us, I think, just react to what we see on the screen and enjoy the skill by which the actors portray different people on the screen and how it makes us feel.
As far as such movies as "Gilda" with all the stars as put by Jim, "have been pushing up daisies for a very long time," it is a true, but sad, fact. I am reminded of that very thing when Ernest Borgnine left us a short time ago that he was the last of the major stars in my favorite movie, "From Here to Eternity." And even with the sad knowledge that the cast from that movie are all gone, I am still able to enjoy watching it again and again.
Aside from the fact that movie studios make movies primarily for a financial gain, it is a form of escape for the typical person, even though we know what we see up on the screen in most cases is make-believe.
Consider movies a form of reasonably priced therapy at home or in movie theaters that we require due to just being here. Jim closes out his article with, "Laughter, romance and play-acting give way to physical obliteration. Guaranteed."
OK, Jim, we get the point, and we all know exactly how it will end without being reminded of your apparent morbid views on life. And since we all are aware of our eventual final destination, why not treat ourselves to some fun, entertainment and a little diversion along the way, sans dwelling on the subject of lowering the final curtain.

OLI Grant: New Molecular Tools to Examine Paleo-phylogeographic Responses to Climate Change: Ancient Coral Migrations in the North Atlantic
Grant Funded: 2004The biodiversity of seamounts and, in particular, the fragility of deep-sea coral populations has received heightened media and scientific attention in recent years. The ability of corals to harbor a broad array of associated fauna (many endemic), including commercially important fish species, makes them of immediate interest to conservationists, managers and scientists. Yet our understanding of the historical processes that have shaped the biodiversity and biogeography of corals (and their habitats) is still in its infancy (see Census of Marine Life for Seamounts CenSeam report). Hard corals (Scleractinians) have been present throughout the world's oceans for millions of years, and so have experienced many climatic changes and extinction events. They build skeletons that incorporate chemical traces indicative of conditions in the surrounding seawater, permitting fossilized individuals from Northwest Atlantic seamounts to now be used to define major changes in intermediate and deep ocean circulation that coincide with large swings in atmospheric climate since the Last Glacial Maximum1. These fossil corals are found in great abundance at depths below the thermocline, yet the phylogeographic relationships between, and the effect climate change has had upon these populations, is at present unexplored. We propose to elucidate ancient deep-water coral migration patterns from ten locations, spanning 1,500m depth range, on three NW Atlantic Seamounts through the development of new techniques to extract ancient DNA from fossilized coral. In 2003, an Alvin cruise collected fossil Desmophyllum cristagalli and Lophelia pertusa in abundance from two New England Seamounts, and Muir Seamount north of Bermuda. Paleoclimatic history (14C, U-series data to infer water mass movement) from these corals is being amassed by colleagues at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). By developing and refining methods to extract DNA from these specific fossilized corals, we will be able to elucidate historical patterns of migration and gene flow, coincident with oceanic circulation patterns and events. Patterns of gene flow among ancient coral populations inhabiting seamounts at different depth ranges (variably influenced by the Gulf Stream over time) will provide insights into this climatically interesting region. We will examine the evolutionary consequences of climate change first hand, and reconstruct ancient deep-water migrations and colonization events. We intend to use this technique to predict the impact of future climate projections and models on seamount biodiversity. Future uses of this tool for understanding the formation of biodiversity and biogeographic patterns will provide new opportunities to examine ancient migration patterns over a broad spectrum of fauna with suitable skeletal material, such as clams, mussels and gastropods, abundant in the fossil record.

Point Park University's Conservatory Theatre Company presents The Time of Your Life by William Saroyan at Point Park University's Pittsburgh Playhouse Jan. 28 through Feb. 6. A preview performance is open to the public on Thursday, Jan. 27. It is directed by theatre professor John Amplas.
Saroyan wrote that "The Time of Your Life is a play of our time. The people in the play are people you are likely to see any day in almost any part of America, certainly at least in certain kinds of American places." Seventy years being the first drama to win both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, it's just as true.
Brilliant, funny and truthful, it all happens, for the most part, in Nick's Pacific Street Saloon, a seedy bar near the San Francisco waterfront. Colorful characters populate the dive, taking the audience on an adventure of love, friendship and the search for the meaning in life.
The Time of Your Life opens Friday, Jan. 28 and runs through Sunday, Feb. 6, 2011. Performances will be held Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets range in price from $18 to $20 and can be purchased by calling the Pittsburgh Playhouse box office at 412-392-8000 or online at www.pittsburghplayhouse.com.

This sounds like a breakthrough to replace fossil fuel home lighting in remote areas.
What do you think?
Views: 240
What a fantastic concept. They really have reinvented the wheel, so to speak. I can envision larger scale devices used to power entire lighting for a household, much like a generator.
Yes, I was thinking that instead of lifting, it should swivel so the person could push a harness like plowing. Leg muscles are stronger than arms. Or for an entire household, imagine going upstairs and then winding a spring by sitting on a seat that lowers to the first floor.
Emergency lighting of this kind would work for plenty of situations. Take it on a hiking trip for example to light the tent instead of fuel. If the power grid becomes unreliable due to storms, a gravity lamp would be handy as backup in any household. You don't have to worry about running out of fuel if the outage lasts weeks.
Fantastic! And it's also useful for us when the lights go out. I found in the Fair Trade Shop a torch with LEDlamp and a handle: turn the handle for two minutes and the batteries are charged.
I live in a remote area. Western Nebraska is just as empty as any place in Africa. And as an electronics technician (my actual training, not the erotic Romance editing I do on the side):
As far as efficient, yes. It only uses the fossil fuels to mine, transport raw materials, manufacture, transport to the location to use (the lion's share of actual fossil fuel use for this or most electrical devices). As an alternative example of "you get something for nothing energy," I submit shaving. An electric razor (though it plugs in) uses less fossil fuels and other resources than disposable ones.
And of course, when the device fails, you replace the entire device. Not just a single lamp. Thus it actually adds to the manufacture-consume-dispose economy. It is not a green device. It is greenwashing.
And unless you only want a 15W light for half-an-hour, (about the same as a booklight), it is not very useful.
As far as it's use as a real lighting instrument, or running computers or any other sort of actual electrical device (such as purifying water, where unpure water kills far more than lack of light), no.
Most folk in this rural area get up with the sun, go to bed with the sun, and that is that. The sun is free, and does not involve all that manufacture I mentioned above.
The only purpose of lighting after dark is staying up after dark. (That means in my village my wife and I are about the only ones who do it.)
It is not actually a "gravity light." It is a human-powered light. (The energy is imparted by humans in the same way as winding a mechanical clock - which I own and is about eighty years old, has an alarm, and even a sleep setting).
Moreover, the idea of human-powered generator lights has been around for fifty or more years (I own a flashlight which you shake and it runs a magnet back and forth to act as a generator to charge a battery). If there were an actual market for such devices, they would already be made.
Many such fundraising Websites promote ideas that never get off the ground. It can be considered a form of venture charity (most of the charity goes down a sinkhole and never turns into actual charity).
Venture charity, interesting concept. Certainly it's a human powered light. I thought the idea was mostly to move around safely in your house at night when there's no power. You don't need a huge amount of light to eliminate total darkness. When the baby wakes up at 3AM, you need something.
As for they would already have been made, let's wait to see how successful their pilot program is. If they provide enough light to replace a kerosene lantern or candles, at cheaper cost, without being too much of a burden on muscle power, then they'll sell. Otherwise they'll disappear.
If you want green shaving, the antique straight razor beats razor blades. My grandfather used to use one. They last as long as a sturdy knife and the metal can be recycled afterwards.
I use a straight razor, which can also be sharpened. And a sickle instead of a weed-whacker. And most business-style letters I write on my 1914 Royal Office typewriter. (All of which require actual exercise to use or maintain, will likely never break, and thus do not add to the buy use consume dispose economy.)
I do not own things like a 54" mega-pixel plasma television (nor any television at all). My wife and I have a tiny footprint on the county landfill (one kitchen garbage bag a week).
We plumped for a recycling company to come in the village and set up a trailer that residents could take recyclables to, not expecting much out of the village. (There is a large preponderance of elderly here, and the village provides dumpsters for trash behind every home).
Nevertheless, with the recycling company kicking back a percentage to the village for the recycled goods, the money goes into paying the trash company. Moreover, as more people started using the recycling trailer, the trash hauling bill to the village (figured on weight) went down.
My wife is engaged in a new project. The only places that have Internet service in town are the general store, the village clerk's office, the public library, and my house. (The post office has only an intranet with the Postal Service.)
The vast majority of the village uses the public library's computers to access the Internet and such things as E-mail, but the library is currently closed as it is moving to a new location.
She obtained an old computer from the schoolhouse, refurbished it, ditched Windows and replaced it with Linux (no lisence fee), and will be setting it up in the village hall as a public-access computer, to tide over the village until the library reopens.
I'm all for recycling, and even more for reuse (better than recycling).
This sounds far greener than my lifestyle. But I could not imagine life without my TV. *blush*
The math doesn't add up. A 10 kg mass, lifted by 1 meter near the surface of the earth, acquires 100 Joules of potential energy. With 100% perfect conversion efficiency, that energy amounts to 1W of power for 100 seconds.
Contrast that with a cell phone lithium-ion battery wafer... it produces typically around 4 W-hours of energy, or about 150W of power for 100 seconds. In other words, your cell phone has 150 times more power than the power-available from a person lifting a fairly heavy (22 pound) weight by a distance of one meter.
I don't see how this can work as a useful illumination source.

text: Summer Calf Protocols June 7, 2013 04:05 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email Source: Milk Products, LLC As summer temperatures creep up over 90°F (32°C), heat stress can negatively impact calf health and performance. Heat stress causes increased respiration and body temperature, rapid dehydration and reduced immune system function. In addition, the calf's maintenance energy requirement is elevated— similar to the effects of cold stress. According to Dr. Dave Cook, technical service manager at Milk Products, LLC, "In cold weather, calves burn more energy to keep themselves warm, while in hot weather they burn more energy keeping themselves cool. Both calf growth and health can be negatively affected if heat stress is not managed." Efforts should be made to identify and avoid heat stress in calves. If you see increased respiratory rates, open-mouthed breathing, decreased appetite and reluctance to move your calves may be suffering from heat stress. This summer consider the following tips to assure proper calf health and growth. ENVIRONMENT Reduce sun exposure — Use barns and hutches that do not allow sunlight to contact the calf. Eighty percent shade cloth is recommended on greenhouse barns and translucent hutches. A study conducted in Pennsylvania (Lammers, et al., 1996) showed daytime air temperatures inside translucent hutches were 3.6° – 5.4°F (2 – 3°C) higher than outside air. The study also noted higher calf body temperatures, higher respiration rates, higher water intake and lower feed intake in translucent hutches when compared to opaque hutches. Improve air flow — Naturally ventilated buildings should have all vents completely opened, including ridge and eave vents, as well as sidewall curtains. Hutches should also have vents and doors opened, and the back end may be elevated using wooden or concrete blocks to improve ventilation. Hutches should also have enough space in between them to provide for air circulation. Bedding — "The ideal bedding for calves during hot weather is a subject of debate," Cook said. "Inorganic sources such as sand or wood shavings offer advantages over organic sources such as straw. Also, sand and shavings do not insulate the calf as much and they don't decompose so may reduce the fly population." If the pens or hutches are on concrete or a hard dirt surface, sand or wood shavings may be a better choice than straw. No matter the season, the key is to keep the calves clean and dry. Choose the bedding material that best fits the housing and labor situation. DIET AND MANAGEMENT Free choice water — Constant access to free choice, fresh water is essential for summertime calf rearing. Calves exposed to heat stress can consume 3 – 6 gallons (11.4 – 22.8 liters) of water per day. If calves run out of water between feedings, a third water feeding may be necessary to prevent dehydration and assure proper health. Calf starter — Freshness of calf starter needs to be closely monitored during hot weather to avoid mold growth or excessive fines. If possible, there should be a solid partition or enough space between the water and grain buckets to prevent carryover of water to the grain bucket. Stresses — Perform stressful events in the early morning. Examples of stressful events include moving, grouping, vaccinating, dehorning and castrating. Evening temperatures seem cool, but animal body temperature lags behind ambient temperature by 4 – 6 hours; therefore, morning is the best time to conduct potentially stressful activities. FLY CONTROL Disease Control — Calf hutches are popular breeding grounds for flies. Flies complete their life cycle by laying eggs in fresh manure or wet, decomposing feed and manure. All of these conditions commonly exist in calf rearing facilities. Flies are directly involved in spreading bacteria that cause pinkeye in cattle and creating new infections in the immature udders of calves. This irritation of the teats through biting increases the potential risk and spread of mastitis in milking cows. "They really are more than just a nuisance to deal with, as flies are known to do some pretty significant damage by decreasing milk production in lactating cows and average daily gains in growing cattle, as well as spreading disease," Cook said. Main Types of Flies — There are four main types of flies to watch out for in a calf operation: Horn flies and stable flies cause significant economic damage through biting and blood feeding. Face flies and house flies are known for spreading disease. "All these fly species are a serious nuisance to cattle and people on and around the dairy operation," Cook said. Not by Starter Alone — "Producers should consider incorporating a feed-through fly control product in both their calf starter and milk to get ahead of the flies—to break the fly life cycle," Cook said. "Starter alone won't get the job done, as calves do not consume enough starter to have an effect until they are 3 to 4 weeks old. By having ClariFly® in the milk replacer or by using an add-pack in milk, like elim-A-fly,® producers can really get ahead of this summer stressor." Back to news

What is the best way to support my child while they are enrolled at Thomas More?
Numerous research studies on college students have shown that college is a time for significant growth for your student. Whether they will be living on campus or not, they will still be going through a time of development and growth. Parental involvement ranges from low involvement to high involvement in their student's lives. Thomas More College suggests that you should talk with your son/daughter about each other's expectations during college. The best way to support your student is to be understanding of their demands while in college. College students are juggling many responsibilities and are often stressed out about a class or finding an internship. You may feel like you should help your student by doing things for them like filling out an application or helping them write a paper, but try to resist the urge to do everything for your student (or risk plagiarism)! Your student is learning many new skills that will enable them to be successful after college. Rest assured, there are professionals here at TMC that are trained in student development and/or counseling and are free of charge if your student encounters a problem.
I didn't go to college, what should I expect from my son or daughter attending TMC?
Students will need time to focus on their responsibilities for their coursework, their obligations for a club or organization, their requirements for an athletic team, time commitments for a part-time job, or any other time they will need in order to be successful here at Thomas More College. Students are expected to study at least 2-3 hours per credit hour of class. Time management is a skill that needs to be mastered as a college student. TMC wants to ensure that we enrich a student's WHOLE life. Therefore, parental support is necessary and those parents who want to be involved with their student's life are encouraged to support their student, but also to understand that a student is expected to take full responsibility for their academic and personal success. There are certain times a parent may need to get involved, but it is necessary for growth if the student solves their issues without a third party if possible. These are important conversations that parents and students need to have about whether a parent's involvement is absolutely necessary. Additionally, your student will be supported by many professional staff members here on TMC's campus, like Residence Life staff, Student Success staff, Health Professionals, and a number of trained professionals who all genuinely care about the well-being of your student. We at TMC know that your child's safety and well-being is the #1 priority for you. It is for us, too!
Health & Safety
What if my student becomes ill and needs medical attention?
We have a full time RN at the Health Center located in Administrative Building. She is available Monday- Friday from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m; no appointment is necessary. If your student is sick after hours we have several Urgent Care facilities close to the college. St. Elizabeth Hospital is approx. 1 mile from campus. You may also email questions to the campus nurse Tammy Schatzman at email@example.com.
My student is feeling anxious/stressed/depressed. Is there someone they can talk to?
We have 3 licensed professional counselors on campus. Please encourage your student to contact the Counseling Center to talk with someone. Walk-ins and appointments are available. They can contact our Director of Student Support Services at 859-344-3445.
What if my student has an after-hours emergency? What if I need to get emergency information to my student?
The Safety & Security Office operates 24 hours, 7 days a week, and can assist you or your student in an emergency. They can be reached at (859)341-4867.
What is MyTMC?
MyTMC is where students go online to view their grades, register for classes, obtain course information, and find resources for all current students, including Financial Aid, Student Life, and Academics.
I want access to my son or daughter's grades. May I check my student's grades online?
Thomas More College will only disclose information about a student's education record if the student has signed a consent form giving us permission to do so. FERPA (Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974) protects a student's right in regards to their educational records. For more information, please go here or contact the Registrar's office at 859.344.3380 to fill out the waiver to allow parents to discuss a student's academic records with college staff members.
Who does my student contact is they are struggling in a class?
Thomas More has a peer tutoring center which is located in the Administration Building. If a student needs assistance they can contact the Academic Support Services Coordinator at 859-344-3521.
If my student gets sick and has to miss several classes; what should they do?
Your student should contact the instructor and let him/her know why they are missing class. Instructors are usually very willing to work with the student when they have missed classes and course work.
My student has a disability and needs special accommodations to complete course work. Are accommodations available at TMC?
TMC has a Disability Services Office located in the Administration Building. You will need to provide documentation to the Disability Services Coordinator to verify the disability in order to be eligible for accommodations. Please contact Academic Services/Disability Services Coordinator at 859-344-3521.
Is class attendance mandatory?
The College does not have a universal policy regarding class attendance. Each instructor may set his/her own standards for attendance. Attending class is essential to the success of the student for any course.
Financial Aid (Federal and Institutional)
My student is receiving financial aid. Do we need to apply every year?
Need-based financial assistance is determined on an annual basis. A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed every year. Tax returns and other requested documentation must be submitted directly to the Financial Aid Office.
How do I pay the tuition bill? Can I pay it online?
The Bursar's office handles all billing and tuition. Tuition, room and board, and all other fees can be paid online or in person. To securely pay online, go here or bring your check or credit card to the Bursar's office in the main administration building.
I have a lot of questions about financial aid. Who do I call?
The easiest way to discuss financial aid is to call 859.344.4043 or stop in to the Financial Aid office and sit down with a counselor.
My child is receiving an outside scholarship, how does that apply to our account?
Have the scholarship supplier send the funds to the Office of the Bursar to have it applied to your student's account.
My student is eligible for work-study. What does that mean?
Your student will need to find an on-campus job in order to receive those funds. Your student may work as many hours as they wish; up to 20 per week. The work-study funds are tax-free and come in the form of a paycheck made out directly to the student. Check the online job board for on-campus jobs (see the Job Opportunities section)
We are having a financial hardship in our family at this time, how can I communicate this with Thomas More College Financial aid staff?
The easiest way to discuss financial aid is to call (859.344.3319) or stop in to the Financial Aid office and sit down with a counselor. There are certain scholarships for TMC students that can help satisfy the unmet need, they can help direct you to other resources or help you to fill out a Special Circumstances form http://www.thomasmore.edu/financial_aid/special_condition.cfm and submit it to Financial Aid.
Student Life
My son or daughter is going to live in the residence halls. What do they need to bring?
Our Residence Life Department has a wealth of information for students who are living in the residence halls. Check out their website for all items that are helpful to living in the residence halls here.
If we have specific questions about College Housing or residence life who do we contact?
You may call the Assistant Director of Student Development & Housing at 859-344-3572.
My student lives off campus. Can he/she purchase an on-campus meal plan?
Yes, off-campus students may add a meal plan. Please review the options for meal plans on TMC's website here. There are directions on who to contact once you have decided on the plan best for your student.
My student wants to join a campus club or organization. Where can they get information?
TMC's clubs and organization are listed here and also in the student handbook. They can also contact the Coordinator of Student Activities at 859-344-4045.
Job opportunities/Textbooks/Other
My child is interested in working on campus. Where should they look for on-campus jobs?
We have a campus job board which is updated constantly. You can check it out here. Any student who is interested in working on campus is able to do so, whether or not the student has work-study funds or not! A student may also take multiple copies of their resume around to different campus departments to inquire if that department is hiring a work-study student.
Where can my student find information about an off campus job?
If your child is interested in an off-campus job, there are many options within walking distance in the Crestview Hills Towne Center which is across the street from TMC. If the student has a car, there are many opportunities in surrounding towns like Florence, Erlanger or Cincinnati. Keep in mind that some off-campus positions are not always as willing to be flexible for a student's schedule, so make sure your student puts academics first. Usually, the student finds an off-campus job on their own.
Where do students buy their textbooks and other school supplies?
The College Bookstore is located in the Saints Center and stocks textbooks for all courses, as well as other books, school supplies, and Saints sportswear and memorabilia. Click here to check out their site. The Bookstore is generally open from 9am-4pm during the week.
Can I visit the campus anytime I want to?
Residence Hall visitation hours are Sun-Thurs: 10 AM - MIDNIGHT/Fri-Sat: 10 AM - 2AM. Make sure you let your child know so they can clean their residence hall room or you don't arrive when they need to be studying or are in class! We have visitor parking in the lot near the main entrance to the administration building, in the resident visitor lot, or you can park in the faculty/visitor lot after 5pm and on weekends. Also, be sure to work out a schedule with your child so that they are becoming part of the Thomas More community and taking part in all of the fun activities!

Officials: LaHood pledged to keep small towers open
WASHINGTON (AP) — Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is said to be assuring lawmakers that 149 small airport towers will remain open.
He's telling them the Obama administration will prevent the closure of those towers, as well as end furloughs of air traffic controllers nationwide, as a result of legislation passed by Congress. That's according to officials involved in negotiations on the bill.
The disclosure came as senators put signatures on a letter to LaHood, saying that their support of the legislation was based on the understanding that the towers would be "fully funded."
The 149 towers at small airports had been ticketed for possible closure in June as the FAA carries out its share of the across-the-board spending cuts that took effect in March.
A spokesman for LaHood says the department is reviewing the legislation and will make a decision about the towers.
Today's developments coincided with congressional passage of a follow-up bill that fixed a stenographic error in the legislation that cleared last week. Now that the letter 's' has been added to the word 'account,' President Barack Obama is expected to sign the bill quickly.

From today's NY Times:
"We were pleased to see the House join the Senate in voting to end the F-22 jet fighter program."
Well, like my boy says: "Ending the F-22 program to save $5-6 billion when hundreds of billions are being squandered by this administration is incredibly flawed thinking.
The United States must consider longer time horizons than the current security climate to ensure its security as well the security of the wider world. Yes, the F-22 is designed for state warfare and has not been used in the current era of asymmetric warfare against non-state actors. However, any student of history will tell that assuming the end of state warfare is incredibly naive and, ultimately, dangerous. In fact, part of the reason we are so lucky to live in an era of diminished risk of state warfare is precisely that the US has held such an overwhelming military edge in such warfare.
By cutting on $6-7 billion of spending -- which in and of itself represents a form of stimulus like the Las Vegas museum to the mafia stuffed into Obama's stimulus bill -- we also shuttered our capability to create such high tech pieces of security for the future. All in all, penny wise and pound foolish.
Unless of course, the Obama Administration's disproportionate focus on what is ultimately a few cents of security out many dollars of truly wasteful federal spending betrays a wider goal of downsizing the American military and intelligence establishments. In that case, the Administration's focus on this issue makes much more sense -- however, it is unlikely to play well with ordinary Americans once they realize their security is being weakened simply to satisfy an ideological agenda which sees the US military and intelligence establishments in an unfavorable light."
The WSJ isn't keen on the demise of the F-22, either.

Reported cases of child sexual abuse have reached epidemic proportions. There has been a 322 percent increase from 1990-2000 and that is not counting the vast number of unreported cases. It is widely known that many children who have been molested, whether it be on a regular basis or not, tend to keep the molestation a secret.
If you are the parent of a molested child or would like to fight and report any other kind of child molestation, click here for a free evaluation of your case.
Child molestation at a glance
Child molestation and sexual assault
is the most rapid growing violent crime in the U.S.
About 1.3 million children are sexually assaulted each year
There are 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in America
95 percent of molested children know their perpetrators
Nearly half of the victims are under the age of 18
1 in 6 boys will be sexually molested by age 18
1 in 4 girls will be sexually molested by age 18
Most offenders are 10 or more years older than the victim
Girls are more likely to disclose the abuse
About child molesters
Child molestation and sexual assault leaves a fingerprint on each child's soul. Deep inside, there is a pain that can't be overcome and many cases of child molestation stay unreported. As a parent, it is crucial that you talk to your child. Children need to feel safe and comfortable when talking about their own feelings and experiences. If your child feels that it won't be judged by talking to you it is much more likely to come to you and tell you about molestation and/or sexual abuse situations.
If you are the parent of a molested child or suspect any kind of child molestation outside of your family, contact us immediately. Click here for a free evaluation of your case.

Shelly Banjo she is and downs ... she's reporting on the state showing ... him anyhow I have I'm good that's exactly what I'm to be doing on Friday after a deal too much and the mummies can be on my laptop ... and again so much about this are you saying that this is a big shift coming on Black Friday the more we tell as are finally accepting the fact that ... we've just made the transition to online shopping ... I think so I mean that you're still the messier retailers all this week coming out with their ... big Black Friday deals on know what's on their opening nobody even earlier on Thanksgiving day even as early as eight pm ... but when you really look that the number is about forty percent of the Black Friday weekend sales are coming from on line and they're expected to grow this year ...

By Jack Hough
IBM's (IBM) dividend boost Tuesday makes the technology sector the market's No. 2 source of dividends, behind consumer staples companies.
That's a stark transformation for tech, the market's largest slice, representing 20% of the value of the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
A dozen years ago, amid the dotcom stock boom, the sector was known for bloated valuations, patchy earnings and little by way of dividends. As recently as 2004, the tech sector contributed just 5% of S&P 500 cash payments to stockholders.
By 2009, tech's contribution rose to 7%. Cisco (CSCO) introduced a dividend last year. Apple (AAPL) this year announced the largest payment initiation ever.
With the IBM increase, tech now contributes 13.7% of index dividends by dollar amount, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P. That puts it second only to consumer staples (think peanut butter, beer and prescription pills), which contribute 14.8%.
At the same time, tech valuations have come down to market-average levels, and quarterly earnings for the group have become less volatile. Tech, in other words, is becoming a source of widow-and-orphan stocks, or shares that produce reliable income for conservative investors (see "Why Tech Stocks Look Better–Even for the Risk Adverse").
And tech may yet become an even richer source of dividends. "If Google (GOOG) started to pay the same rate (yield) as Apple, Information Technology would beat out Consumer Staples as the largest dividend payer," wrote Mr. silverblatt Tuesday in an email.
Notable high-yielders in the tech sector include Applied Materials (AMAT) and Intel (INTC), each of which yields just over 3%, and Microsoft, which yields 2.5%. But although the sector has become a large dividend contributor in dollar terms, it isn't generally a source for high yields. The sector as a whole yields 1.5%, versus 2.2% for the index, according to S&P.
That's partly because tech companies pay a lower portion of their earnings as dividends than, say, utilities or consumer staples firms. Fast-growth companies often spend less of their profits on dividends than slow-growth ones. And the tech sector is projected to produce 17% earnings growth this year–the fastest of any sector, and nearly double the earnings growth expected for the broad S&P 500.

When the train stopped, the man picked up his luggage, ignoring the twinge of pain across his chest. He was a short man, only 5' 8" and heavy, weighing almost 215 lbs. At 55 years old he figured he wasn't in as good shape anymore and wasn't surprised that his chest and arm ached.
Carrying these suitcases as he went door to door looking for odd jobs was enough to make anyone have aches and pains! He was a drifter and went from town to town in the Western states, barely making enough to pay for his travel expenses. But that was how he had chosen to live.
He liked being alone and going places where no one knew who he was and the cries of "There goes N****r Joe!" FN no longer rang in his ears. For that was what the townspeople called him in the town where he grew up. His grandfather, a free man of colour from Pennsylvania, married an Irish woman and his father married a German woman so he could, and did, pass for white among those who had not known his family.
It was growing dark and was drizzling a bit, so he picked up his pace. Even though it was a comfortable 67' he was sweating as he hurried towards the stairs to the Higgins Avenue Bridge. Trudging up the stairs he noticed he was out of breath and his chest was tingling with bursts of sharp pain. He hoped he'd find a room to rent fairly close by once he crossed the bridge into town.
The bridge was crowded with townspeople but he barely noticed as the pain in his chest increased. Halfway across the bridge, he stopped and set down his heavy cases, gasping for breath as a lightning jolt of pain hit. He leaned against the railing and then suddenly fell and lay there, not moving. A woman screamed and a few men rushed to him to see if they could help him up. But the stranger lay dead. One of the men shook his head and told his friend to run and get Doc Walsh or the town police.
The body was taken to the Undertaker where Doc Walsh went through the man's belongings. Letters revealed that his name was Joseph E. Butler and he had relatives in Grafton North Dakota. A telegram was sent to the local police in Grafton and a brother came forward. Jake Butler provided the police with Joseph's wife's name and address in Seaforth Ontario Canada and a telegram was sent to her. While we do not have that telegram we can imagine what it said
Regret to inform you of passing of your husband Joseph E. Butler. Please advise what to do with body.It must have been a shock to Carrie Butler, his wife. Joseph had deserted the family about 10 years earlier and had not been heard from since. He left behind his wife and 6 children ages 7 to 20. There was no love lost between Carrie and Joseph and in later years she would not talk about him or his disappearance, only saying "he went out west" when asked by her granddaughter Mary. Nothing more was said and no one had the nerve to ask Carrie for details. Again, while we don't have the telegram Carrie sent back to Missoula, we can imagine her terse words
Bury him in MissoulaAnd so Joseph E. Butler, my husband's great-great grandfather, was buried alone in the Missoula Cemetery in Missoula Montana. It took me over 15 years to find his death but last night was my genealogy breakthrough. I followed a hunch I had that he had ended up in North Dakota near his brother Jake, and finding a grave online for a J. E. Butler prompted me to look for records of this J. E. Butler. None were found, it was as if he had come out of nowhere. No census, no marriage, no sign that he had ever lived in or near Missoula Montana. So why was he buried there and with an actual marker?
A phone call by my husband's cousin Judy to the Cemetery and to the Funeral Home that handled his autopsy and death provided us with the following information:
Name Joseph E. Butler. Died May 17, 1911. Place of death Missoula Bridge. Coroner said Heart Disease. No name of coroner. Buried May 27, 1911. Paid cash but no name of who paid.
|The Daily Missoulian, May 18, 1911, p12
At the same time I began a search online and found that the Missoulian was available for free at Chronicling America. As I was pulling up that date, a Facebook friend sent me the article. I eventually found 3 articles about Joseph and his lonely death in Missoula on the Higgins Avenue Bridge.
Our cousin Judy mentioned how said it was that he died alone, but I don't think it was the saddest part of this story, for he chose the life of a drifter.
For me the sad part was that his granddaughter Mary (my husband's grandmother) is not with us to learn what happened to her grandfather. It was a mystery she longed to solve and I would have loved to share this with her.
And so the story ends. 103 years later, Joseph has been found. Perhaps one day we may be able to visit his grave in Missoula and pay our respects.
FN This description of the nickname the townspeople had for Joseph came from the grandson of a man who knew Joseph personally.

Earlier this year, we debuted a GovExec app for the iPhone, shortly after launching the redesign of our website. It has been, with all due modesty, something of a hit--more than 5,000 downloads, and high ratings and nice reviews.
About the only complaint we have received about the app came in the form of a question voiced by a number of our users: Where's the Android version?
I'm pleased to announce that as of today, the answer is: right here.
Like the iPhone app, the Android version provides easy daily updates on the TSP's funds, along with quick links to all of our news updates. So download away, Android users.

About .DENTIST Domain Names
The .dentist domain name will provide a comprehensive platform for dentists around the world to build a successful practice. From attracting new patients online to offering those same patients an essential information portal, dental practitioners can find a way to stand out and thrive in a competitive market.
Pre-Registration Information
The .dentist launch is divided into three registration phases: Trademark Holder (Sunrise), Priority Pre-Registration (Early Access) and Pre-Registration (General Availability.) Each phase has specific application requirements:
Pre-registration gives you the best possible chance of securing a domain name before it's available to the general public, but it doesn't guarantee you will get it. You can register for Sunrise, or pre-register for Early Access and General Availability phases, and we'll submit your registration application when the phase begins.
Multiple applications with different registrars are resolved on a first-come, first-served basis during General Availability. If you aren't able to secure the domain name, we'll refund the registration fee. Application fees will not be refunded.
Trademark Holders Registration - Sunrise
Starting October 23, 2014 at 18:00 UTC, trademark holders can submit an application to register a .dentist domain containing their owned mark, before it's available to the public.
Trademark validation goes through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), which is an ICANN global repository for trademark data. Visit the TMCH website for information on registering a trademark.
Bulk .dentist registration is not supported during Sunrise.
If you aren't able to secure the domain name, we'll refund the registration fee. Application fees will not be refunded.
Note: You cannot cancel your registration application. If you are awarded the domain name, you have 5 days to cancel your domain name and get a refund of the registration fee only.
Priority Pre-Registration - Early Access
From December 17, 2014, at 17:00 UTC to December 24, 2014 at 17:00 UTC, customers can register .dentist domain names at a premium price, and on a first-come, first-served basis. This phase offers the best chance of securing a domain name.
Bulk .dentist registration is not supported during Early Access.
Pricing: The first 4 days of Priority Pre-Registration will have different fees, with day one being the highest and every day thereafter decreasing in price. Days 5 through 7 will be the same fee. The price of a domain registration during Priority Pre-Registration includes the registration fee and a non-refundable early application fee. For example, if a domain name's registration fee is $30 and the early application fee is $12,500, then the total cost is $12,530. The price of your gTLD may vary based on the domain you search for and pre-register.
Note: The early application fee is NOT refundable if the domain is awarded and then dropped. The early application fee is not charged if you do not get the domain. The registration fee is refundable if the domain name is dropped, or if you do not get the domain name.
Pre-Registration - General Availability
Beginning December 24, 2014, at 17:00 UTC, customers can register .dentist domain names on a first-come, first-served basis.
Bulk .dentist registration is supported during General Availability.
Multiple applications with different registrars are resolved on a first-come, first-served basis during General Availability. If you aren't able to secure the domain name, we'll refund the registration fee.
Note: If you are awarded the domain name, you have 5 days to cancel your domain name and get a refund of the registration fee only.

- Accrediting Body Phone
Registrations of Domains that will not be providing dental services will NOT need to provide any eligibility information. The domain purchase path will capture the required info if and when necessary for each domain purchased for .dentist.

You cannot register domain names with special characters such as & and #. The .dentist supports IDNs (Internationalized Domain Names) in the following languages: French and Spanish.

Two Different Markets in One Day
That very same day, I was over in Cupertino/San Jose with my dad (going on a little adventure together), when I spotted an "international market" sign. Lured by the potential of exotic ingredients, I talked my dad into going with me. I was SO psyched to find out that it was actually a wonderful Persian market with TONS of stuff! Some of you will know that I am big fan of all things Persian (okay, maybe not ALL things Persian - but just about!), especially their wonderful cuisine. I had a very hard time resisting so many things. In addition to good ol' rose water and orange blossom water, they had bottles of "Egyptian Pussy Willow Water" "Mint Water" "Sweet Briar Water" "Cumin Water" and many more. Whoa! I don't even know what to do with that, but I still wanted to buy it! Instead I took a careful inventory of what they had - knowing that from now on I can read any Persian recipe I can get my paws on, and know where to find all the most obscure ingredients. I sense a Persian cooking binge in my future!
Here's what I did end up with - just a smattering of curios:
Pita Bread (Hey, it was on my grocery list for that day!), Carrot/Rosewater jam, Tamarind Paste, Indian Curry Powder, Vimto (a sickeningly sweet cherry-ish fruit soda - fun to try, but not a new favorite!), 2 different cans of Foul Moudammas, a frozen package of "Sabzi Ghormeh", and some lovely saffron-sugar rock candy swizzle sticks. I'll save these for a special occasion. It was so exciting because a few of these products were actually imported from Iran... which is pretty hard to find these days. The air of authenticity!
14 comments:
Ahh, looks at all that fresh, summer produce!! Sooooo envious right now, haha. Enjoy!! :0)ReplyDelete
Saffron-sugar rock candy?? How intriguing!
is it a bad thing that I'm totally drooling over the beauteaous produce you managed to find??ReplyDelete
That is a SWEET haul from the farmer's market. It's not quite peach season here in the southeast yet, but I saw the first cherries in the store yesterday! The stuff from the Persian store looks cool too, nice to know of a reliable place to buy specialty goods.ReplyDelete
I actually have that a box of those saffron sugar candies at home, my box looks exactly the same as yours. They're super yummy!ReplyDelete
i love farmers markets... everything is there!... my addiction.avocados... i just finished eaten one.. mmmmReplyDelete
Your farmers market is certainly teeming with summery produce! I recognized about half of the items you got from your International Market. I feel lucky I can get them at my neighborhood supermarket.ReplyDelete
When I was in San Francisco, I also felt an ethical obligation to buy 2 pounds of fresh cherries and snack on them all weekend at my hotel! I totally encourage your addiction, ha!ReplyDelete
First of all, jealous of your summer produce! Ack, I can't wait any more!ReplyDelete
Second, love the Persian grocery find! I wonder if it existed back when I lived in Cupertino oh so many moons ago...? (Do you remember its name by any chance?). Oh, I think you'll LOVE the carrot jam- it's one of my favorites, and my grandmother makes it all the time. And I wish I had access to frozen ghormeh sabzi, because I have never made it from scratch. I don't even know if I could track down all the greens. Oh, my mom is going to Iran in July- drop me a line if you want anything from there! xo
How lovely! I've never eaten persian food that I know of, but I'm intrigued now...ReplyDelete
Hi fellow Santa Cruzan!!! I'm from Santa Cruz too and I've been reading your blog off and on until just recently I started a blog of my own. It's great that there's another Santa Cruz foodie like me out there. I actually just posted an entry about Malabar (which I'm sure you are familiar with). My blog will consist of a lot of baking (a lot of vegan baking) and some cooking. I look forward to your posts and great ideas! Santa Cruz is such a great place for food.ReplyDelete
So much persian treasure! That carrot/rosewater jam sounds *amazing*, and all the produce you got besides! Somebody's eating well right now. :DReplyDelete
Peaches are finally in?! I'm SO excited! All your treasures look awesome!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous7:21 PM
aw, i'm a little jealous of farmers fresh veggies. yay! for the iranian goodies!ReplyDelete

OLD HICKORY, Tenn. -- Sophomore Mason Griffin shot rounds of 72 and 70 Monday and is tied for fourth place on the individual leaderboard, helping the Tennessee Tech men's golf team settle into second place following the first two rounds of the Big Blue Intercollegiate hosted by Tennessee State.
Fellow Ohio Valley Conference foe Murray State combined rounds of 281 and 282 to grab the team lead with a 36-hole total of 563. The Golden Eagles opened Monday with a 287 and improved five shots to a 282 in the second round, finishing the day with a 569 total.
That gives coach Polk Brown's squad an eight-shot edge over IPFW (577) in third place, with Southern Illinois (580) and UT Martin (581) rounding out the Top Five.
The second five includes North Dakota (582), Eastern Illinois (585), Morehead State (585), Tennessee State (588) and Trevecca Nazarene (593).
Christopher Schwartz of UT Martin leads all players with a 71-67--138, but his score isn't helping the Skyhawks since he's entered as an individiual.
In addition to Griffin's first day success, Travis Ramsey is also holding a Top 10 position heading into Tuesday's final 18 holes. Ramsey shot 70-73--143 and is tied for eighth place.
The balance of the Tech lineup includes Greg Kitts (tied for 14th place/75-69--144), Sam Schrock (tied for 18th/70-75--145) and Lee Maxwell (tied for 26th place/76-70--146).

Replacing wall plates with these Insulated double duplex wall plates is a simple way to help minimize heating and cooling costs. Installation is fast, easy, and inexpensive. All you have to do is unscrew and remove the old wall plate, and then screw the insulated one into place. The reduction in your heating and cooling consumption will pay for these insulated covers in a short time!
Because of direct exposure to hot and cold winds the outside walls of your home are exposed to drafts. The drafts flow through the inside walls via plumbing and electrical chases and can then leak through the interior outlets and switches. All of your home's outlets and switches, even those on interior walls, can allow drafts.
Each cover is made of high strength plastic, and provided with an oversize insulated seal to stop air leaks and drafts. All outlet covers come with seal caps that stay attached to the wall plate. The caps hinge open, but do not come off, so you won't lose them and children can't swallow them.
This product is also available in white, sold separately.
