Attention All Applications: Background Check Process Improvements
The process for obtaining a criminal history for applicants has changed. Effective immediately, fingerprint cards have been phased out. The licensing program has implemented the FAST, or Fingerprint Applicant Services of Texas, process. This involves the electronic scanning of an applicant's fingerprints, then submitting them electronically to the Texas Department of Public Safety for processing. A background check will be obtained more quickly, thus reducing application processing time. Also, the chance of rejection of a set of fingerprints for lack of quality is significantly reduced. For more information, please see page three of the appropriate licensure application, which can be downloaded by
selecting this link.
Now you can perform a real-time search for licensees online, and you can even print a license verification. For more information, click the "Live Online Search Verification" link under the "Find A Licensee" heading to the left.

I have been involved with computers and engineering a long time (I was excited when Popular Electronics first published a story about a 'personal computer' in 1976 which had a whole 256 bytes of memory). I no longer work in engineering, opting instead to raise cattle in central Texas.
This is the seventh calendar year that I have been fascinated with 'modding the Sims 2', and helped decode some of the mesh data types, and I wrote and maintain the Sims 2 mesh plugins for the MilkShape 3D editor. I have now moved to The Sims 3, and I am working on various mesh and animation doodad thingys.
Oh, and that gal shown to the left is a cow named Lady, one of a breed called Texas Longhorn. And they are.

Facts: The parties' divorce was resolved by a Mediation Agreement executed by both parties and their lawyers. One month later, Husband accepted a new job with substantial income, including stock options. (Husband's job ended two months later when his employer went out of business.) A few weeks later, the trial court approved a marital dissolution agreement that mirrored the terms of the Mediation Agreement. Two weeks later, Wife filed a motion to alter the divorce decree. Wife alleged that Husband failed to disclose the terms of his new employment, which, Wife argued, should result in a larger alimony award to her. Wife also alleged that Husband had concealed from her information regarding several marital assets. After discovery revealed no basis for Wife's arguments, Husband moved to dismiss her motions and for an award of sanctions. Finding that Wife had "zero proof" and "no evidentiary support whatsoever" for her allegations, the trial court granted Husband's motions and awarded him $61,500 in sanctions. Wife appealed.
On Appeal: The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court.
Wife argued the trial court erred by dismissing her motion to alter the divorce decree, but the Court rejected her argument.
Wife's allegations of fraud as to Husband's [new] employment, frankly, are baffling. As noted by the trial court, Wife never produced any evidence that Husband had the job offer at the time of the parties' mediation. Rather, in the [] mediation and the resulting Mediation Agreement, Husband agreed to the stated financial obligations to Wife without knowing whether he would even have a job, much less the terms of any job. Moreover, as noted by the trial court, Wife insisted upon an agreement at mediation and in the later [marital dissolution agreement] that specified a dollar amount of alimony, so that it would not be affected by whatever Husband's income level turned out to be. . . . The trial court correctly observed that Wife "tries to have her cake and eat it, too." The trial court found that, under those circumstances, Husband had no duty to inform Wife about the terms of his new employment. We agree.
Wife's allegations regarding the stock options referenced in Husband's [new] employment contract are especially perplexing. It is undisputed that Husband never actually received the stock options, and so received zero value from the stock option provision in the employment agreement. It is unclear what Wife thinks she would have received under any set of circumstances. Recalling grade school mathematics, ½ of zero = zero. . . .
[U]sing the nondisclosure of Husband's employment information as the ostensible reason, Wife sought to re-open discovery to find out if any assets were not disclosed. As we now know, after much discovery permitted by the trial court, none were found.
Finally, Wife argued the trial court erred in awarding sanctions to Husband. Again, the Court overruled Wife's objection.
[The trial judge] warned Wife that if her motions were deemed to be without merit, "she is going to get to pay for [Husband's attorney's] fees." Instead of reconsidering her advocacy for motions that had no evidentiary basis, Wife doubled down. This resulted in the spin-off disputes over discovery, recusal, and the funds deposited with the clerk's office. . . . [H]er litigiousness [was] finally curtailed by the trial court's decision to put an end to it.
The award of $61,500 in sanctions, which the Court characterized as "large" and "a hefty sanction indeed," was affirmed.

You play the same way you practice is a coaching adage used in all sports at all levels. If it is true, most golfers have little hope of playing well. It is common to see golfers practice without focus, without targets, with frustration and with mechanical thoughts that are often misguided. If we could improve both the time spent at practice and the quality of our practice, our golf games would improve quickly. Most of us do not have any extra time in our day, so our only option is to improve the quality of our practice. Here are some ways that you can make your time in the practice area more productive.
If you truly want to play the same way you practice, you need to change how you practice. First, you should have a clear intention for your practice at all times. Second, you need to include aspects of the game that are important on the golf course, such as decision making, focus under pressure and a pre-shot routine. Finally, you need to make your practice reflect the actual game by giving 30-40% of your time to putting, 30-40% of your time to chipping, pitching and bunker play and the remaining time to ball striking. If you have only 30 minutes to stop at the course and get some practice in, you should spend at least 60-70% of that time close to or on the green. What is meant by a clear intention? It means that before you get out of your car in the parking lot, you know what your focus will be and how you will improve your game that day. For example, if you recently took a lesson and the pro gave you mechanics to improve in your swing, go to the range with the goal of working on only that mechanical change. Take training aids if the pro suggested using them. Check your reflection in a mirror or window to remind yourself of the position you want. Focus completely on changing the movement in your swing that needs to be changed. This might sound very logical and easy to do, but it isn't. Human nature leads you to want comfort, fall into old habits and be great at what you do. These instincts will often cause you to give up and focus on hitting great shots or finding a different mechanical change to focus on. In order to make a change, you have to be uncomfortable, change your habits and quite likely, hit some poor shots for a time during the transition.
Another example is if you were going to go with your buddies to play a golf course with very sloped and undulating greens. In the week prior, your intention is to practice putting and chipping on every slope you can find. To make your practice more "game-like" you can set yourself up with goals and spend time using only one ball, instead of giving yourself many tries with a pile of balls. You could get the ball up and down 10 times from around the green. Perhaps you find a very sloped cup and make 5 six-footers in a row from around the cup.
Your intention is to challenge yourself on tough putts, just as you will face in the weekend match. This approach will allow you to grow your confidence and feel prepared when you step onto the first green and compete with your buddies. Now that you go to practice with a determined outcome, the second factor of great practice is to introduce aspects of the game that are important on the golf course. These aspects will allow you to execute under pressure.
We can all picture a moment in time when we needed a shot to be great and we performed! Leading up to that shot, you probably had a great mental picture of it, you committed to that picture, you set up well, you took dead aim, your rhythm was flowing and your mind was focused. You stepped up and made it happen! Can we also picture an important shot that we flubbed completely? I know I certainly can. In that moment in time, I had an unclear picture of what I wanted, I wasn't very committed, I rushed into my set up barely paying attention to my aim and my tight grip ruined my rhythm. My mind was focused, but it wasn't on what it should have been, but instead on not screwing this up. Perhaps an important person I wanted to impress was there or the Nassau was doubled. No matter what caused the interference, I didn't execute. We need to practice execution under pressure. Because pressure is self-perceived, we can set up situations that create it at any time. We can do it by requiring a goal to be reached or by keeping track of personal bests. We can also call people over to compete with during practice or to simply watch us perform. A true competitor never wants to lose anything, including a putting contest at sunset for $1. Pressure often effects muscle tension, which can quickly change grip pressure, rhythm or even your swing path. Learning to set aside the outcome and focus on the task at hand is a great way to offset pressure and therefore tension. In order to do it on the course, we need to practice it on the range or putting green.
Focus is another aspect of the game that is crucial to good execution. Choosing what to focus on is a learned effort. When faced with water to the right, a generous fairway and trees on the left, where is your focus? If you are not single-minded with your choice of a target, set up to that target and swing to send the ball to the target, you have lost your focus. There are so many ways to lose your focus and only one way to keep it; total commitment to it. If you have a fear of hitting into the water, your focus may be to avoid the hazard. However, that would mean that a shot into the trees was successful. My father often said, "Be careful what you wish for." I never really understood his advice until I was older, but now it is crystal clear to me. What I wish for is bound to happen. My focus or wish must be completely on place I want the ball to go. On the practice range, your focus must be clear and steady. If you are hitting drivers to a target 250 yards away, you need to recognize on each and every shot if you are in the right frame of mind to execute the shot. You need to be specific with a target and commit to it. If you are on the range and your focus moves to a conversation on your right, you must step off. If your set up feels off and unbalanced, the swing you make will be full of compensations. If you feel as though you are aimed to the right, you must not decide to offset it and swing left. When you practice, it is important to recognize if and what your focus is and be demanding of yourself to make it right. Whenever fear, doubt, inattention or results creep into your mind during your pre-shot or execution of a shot, you need to recognize the lack of commitment and start over. This may seem time consuming and even irritating to your fellow competitors once you take it onto the golf course, but what will happen is you will learn to truly commit to each shot and in the long run, speed your play.
One other aspect of execution that you should address at practice is your pre-shot routine. Your pre-shot routine will follow your decision making process of what shot to hit, what club to hit and at what point to aim. On the range, you must make these conscious decisions and then go into your routine. Your pre-shot routine will allow you to visualize the shot you have chosen, align yourself to it, maintain rhythm and readiness and stay committed as you execute. If you practice your routine on the range, you can assure yourself that under the greatest pressure on the course, you will go through the steps needed to visualize, focus and go to the ball prepared to execute. Failure to practice your routine takes away its power to put you in the right frame of mind needed to execute. Even if your shot doesn't turn out as planned, you will know that you didn't fail in preparation, either prior to the shot or on the practice tee.
The final aspect of great practice, to balance your practice between putting, short game and ball striking, is probably the most important to actually lowering your scores. When you become a great putter, you take pressure off of both your short game and ball striking. At our course, both our men's and women's club champions spend time each day practicing. Often it is only 15 minutes at lunch, but they are here for that 15 minutes and when they are here, they both putt. Neither is the longest hitter, nor even the best ball striker among their fellow competitors, but both are the best putters. The reason they are the best is because they spend the majority of their practice time on the putting green. They "make more than their share" many of their friends say, but I know the truth, because I see the commitment they have made to being great putters. If you have an extra fifteen minutes a day to spend to become a better golfer, would you hit a bucket of balls or putt? These club champions know the answer that helps them beat their competition; they putt. It is also important to chip and pitch well if you want to score. When you first begin to practice your short game, it might not seem very fun. But if you make the practice challenging, competitive, and creative, you will find that you have to tear yourself away from the practice green. Kids can spend hours around a green challenging each other to shots, such as "how high can you flop your wedge" or "can you make your ball bounce three times between here and the hole?" Find that childlike attitude and you will soon visualize the same shots when you are on the course. With that ability, you can more confidently go at tucked hole locations or score well on a windy day. You will dictate your game plan instead of a game weakness or an outside condition.
Remember, spend 1/3 of your practice time around the green and make it fun. In January, it is often easy to make promises to yourself about what you want to do to improve yourself. If the promise deals with weight loss, you must change some habits. If the promise deals with spending time with family, you must change some habits. If the promise deals with lowering your handicap, once again, you must change some habits. You now have some ways to look at your practice time to help you do that. Find a P.G.A. or L.P.G.A. Professional in your area to facilitate your changes and help you practice effectively and become a better player.

In the Palin Family Guide to Hollywood, Fox's "Family Guy" is garbage but the Disney-owned ABC Family network apparently gets the (former) gubernatorial seal of approval.
Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol, as widely reported, is set to appear on ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." The 19-year-old single mom will play herself in a storyline dealing with teen pregnancy.
The acting gig underscores the very public Palin family's increasingly complicated love-hate relationship with the entertainment world – especially as Sarah Palin positions herself as an office-less political celebrity/presidential-candidate-in-waiting.
On Feb. 15, Bristol Palin slammed the "heartless jerks" behind a "Family Guy" episode that included a gratuitous crack that some took as mocking her baby brother Trig, who has Down syndrome.
Her response appeared on her mother's Facebook page, which has become the family megaphone. Sarah Palin, Fox News employee, was somewhat more muted in her response, blaming "Fox Hollywood" for the "kick in the gut." The distinction is an artificial one: Rupert Murdoch ultimately pays both the "Family Guy" folks to offend and Palin to spout opinions.
That's indicative of the former Alaska governor's inconsistency as she alternately courts and bashes major media to stay in the public eye.
She got attention for backing CBS' decision to broadcast a low-key anti-abortion commercial during the Super Bowl. Last year, she reaped another kind of publicity bonanza by lambasting the network's David Letterman for making a tasteless joke about another one of her daughters.
More recently, she chided radio host Rush Limbaugh for using the word "retard" as a slur – but later gave her fellow right winger a pass, saying the commentator was being "satirical."
While promoting her book, "Going Rogue," Palin visited Oprah Winfrey, who supported Barack Obama in 2008 and is seen by some conservatives as the queen of the liberal media elite. The show scored Winfrey's biggest ratings in two years, a boon to both women. Palin – with Bristol – appeared on Winfrey's show again last month.
Since leaving office, Palin generally has limited her direct dealings with the press – carefully controlling her message in Facebook posts, her Fox spots and speeches like her Tea Party address.
There's much that's out of her control, of course. The press is watching. So are the comedians, who had a field day with the crib notes spotted on Palin's hand during her Tea Party talk.
Tina Fey is likely to reprise her Palin imitation on "Saturday Night Live" in April, which probably only will increase the former GOP vice presidential candidate's exposure. Speaking of exposure, the recent Playgirl pictorial featuring Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin's young son, isn't exactly in sync with the ABC Family role or the image the Palin family is trying to promote.
Part of that image is of Sarah Palin as an anti-Hollywood populist – something with which her daughter's network acting job would seem to conflict. During the Letterman imbroglio, Sarah and Todd Palin issued a statement that noted, in part, "some Hollywood/N.Y. entertainers have a long way to go in understanding what the rest of America understands."
Sarah Palin seems to understand very well how Hollywood works – and she's trying her best to make it work for her.

Violence between family members is subject to legal intervention in the same way as violence between strangers.
Family violence is recognised to take many forms, including not only physical injury, but also emotional and psychological harm, social isolation and financial control.
If family violence comes to the attention of police, they may issue an intervention order (see Intervention orders) or lay criminal charges against the perpetrator (see Criminal charges).
Even though not all forms of family violence carry a criminal sanction and penalty, all forms are often relevant to courts, for example, all forms are relevant when a court is making intervention orders or parenting orders.
Victims of family violence in the past have been stigmatised and the prevailing attitude of keeping the problem behind closed doors as a 'private' family matter only furthered victimisation and increased the vulnerability of victims. Legislation now emphasises family violence as a social problem affecting all members of society and attracting the full sanctions of criminal justice intervention.
However, it should be noted that legal remedies can sometimes be of limited use in a crisis. It is more often the practical steps and planning a person can take which will be of much greater significance for their safety than reliance on legal remedies alone.

|Various small things
|Thanks to Brad some pics have been restored to the D'Deridex class entry. Thanks to Morgan Beardsley a wrong date on the Akira page is fixed. Thanks to Koen Verlinde a typo on an episode review is fixed, and thanks to B Cross a typo on a species page is fixed.
|Merry X-Mas!!!!
|Hope you had as good a day as I did!
|I've replaced the Defiant sizecomp image with a much better quality one.
|The reference lists on most of our pages now contain links; wherever an episode is mentioned you can click on it and get our summary/review of that ep.
|A few changes here. Much of the information for Phasers was marked as canon despite coming from the TM's, so I have recoloured and somewhat reworded this entry. I have also replaced and expanded the images for both phasers and bladed weapons with much larger and higher quality ones.
|A minor addition to the particles page, mentioning a new fact for Tetryons.
|A new pic for the Karemma species page, two more for the vorta species page - the old ones were amongst the worst images on the site so these are a huge improvement! A replacement image on the mines weaponry page plus a new image there, and finally a replacement image for the Defiant page.
|Episode Guides
|I've added a factoid and body count for DS9's Paradise Lost.
|A couple of things on the Defiant page; thanks to jhampton who pointed out that I had the wrong Admiral pegged for "Paradise Lost", so this is fixed. I've also added some references for the ship's crew complement.

|That time of year...
|X-Mas is coming, and this year we plan to be more tacky than ever!!!

|Yet more new images - the Cardassian Freighter and Galor class and a pic on the sci-tech tractor beam entry.
Incidentally, those who are used to checking this site once a week or so shouldn't look only at the updates listed on the front page. This page only lists the most recent updates and lately there has been new stuff every day or so, so if you come to the front page once a week you will miss a lot of stuff! If it's been more than a couple of days you should check out the What's New pages below which list every update over the last several years.
|Another slew of images; the battle of Minos image page has all new and larger images. On the species pages there are new images for Betazoids, Bynars, Benzites, Edo, Parasites and Zaldans.

Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen is one of those guys who did some drug in the sixties that left him with a permanently enlarged Id. (Also: Does it sometime seem like former hippies who still have all their hair also retained their wholly undeserved level arrogance of their youths?) Anyway I never really paid attention to Richard Cohen, for reasons that now seem obvious, but we're glad Vanity Fair's James Wolcott did, because Richard Cohen's massive hardon for John McCain became the subject of an entertaining piece on the sickening spectacle that is the Man Crush. Not so! Richard Cohen whined yesterday. It's about VALOR AND INTEGRITY! And sticking to one's values and beliefs until death. Did I mention this guy broke up Peter Jennings' first marriage? Anyway, yesterday Wolcott struck back on his blog. AWESOMELY:
In Cohen's latest recital, he responds to those surly detractors (i.e., me) who have accused him of cutting out heart-shaped valentines to John McCain and pasting them in his locker. Coyly he begins:
In politics, we're having a Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr kind of year. It was Karr, a French writer, who coined the phrase plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose, which means, as Barack Obama has shown, that the more things change, the more they stay the same. N'est-ce pas?
My own French is rusty, so I'm not sure what the proper French equivalent for "fucking embarrassing" is, so forgive me, but really—The Washington Post is not only the most powerful paper in the nation's capital but enjoys an international reputation, and here's one of their premiere columnists blithering away like Mayberry's Howard Sprague with a carnation in his lapel. It's amazing he didn't stick an "ooh la la" in there somewhere.
And if that doesn't rekindle your man crush on Wolcott you can go read the whole post and revel in anticipation of his rebuttal to Tony fucking Blair.

Fat undergraduates often experience subtle forms of prejudice that most people tend not to notice, from tiny wooden desks that won't fit their bodies to sidelong stares whenever they visit the student fitness center. Some—like Margitte Kristjansson, a Fat Studies graduate student and alumna of the University of Washington—will voice their concerns to administrators, but many fat students would rather suffer in silence than spotlight themselves by speaking up. "It's definitely harder to be a fat student on campus, when you don't yet know that you deserve respect in the same way that any other student would," Ms. Kristjansson says.
Oh hey, that's me, quoted in an article by Yale University senior Eve Binder for The Daily Beast. Check it out here.
The author's basic argument here is interesting to me: she essentially asks "who is the audience for Fat Studies?" and if it is fat students, "how do you reach them if they aren't making it to college?"
It is critical that we recognize that there is a problem when fat students are not found on college campuses at the same rates as their non-fat peers. It has been a documented problem for a long time now (at least as far back as Marcia Millman's Such a Pretty Face: Being Fat in America was published in 1980). At the same time, in the author's focus on the fat undergraduate student as the only audience for Fat Studies (or undergraduates as the only audience for any discipline), she misses the point. Fat Studies is not a discipline about making fat people feel good about themselves. It is about—at least in my opinion—doing rigorous academic work in, on, and around bodies from a lens that is critical of mainstream conceptions of fatness and the 'obesity epidemic'.
The primary audience for Fat Studies is not necessarily fat undergraduates. In many cases the audience is other academics, colleagues who do similar and unrelated work in critical/cultural studies, health sciences, gender studies, american studies, science studies, etc. In general, I think the hope is that this work will eventually be put out there for a more mainstream audience, which certainly includes fat undergrads but is not limited to them. In fact, many people could benefit from Fat Studies: those bigoted readers who all think fat people are gross, ugly, and unhealthy over at the The Daily Beast, (see comments on article above) could benefit from Fat Studies; those well-intentioned people working on health policy (like Michelle Obama) could benefit from Fat Studies; those people who took time out of their dinner to call my friend and I "poor fat girls" the other night could benefit from Fat Studies; Maura Kelly could REALLY benefit from Fat Studies… and so on.
I do work in Fat Studies because I believe that knowledge production, in combination with my own personal activism, is how I can best do my part to change the cultural feeling around fatness, so that all those fat kids in high school who are too busy being bullied, obsessing over their weight, put on the fast-track to vocational schools, and ignored by teachers and other possible mentors, can buck this trend and go to college, if they want to.
Unlike the author of this post, I don't think that not having enough fat students on college campuses will prevent Fat Studies from taking root in academia: I think that Fat Studies MUST take root in academia in order to make the changes necessary for fat students to enter university at a rate equal to their non-fat peers.

Gift Ideas from Kristof
Gifts That Change Lives
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: December 5, 2012 11 Comments
Looking for an unusual holiday gift? How about a $60 trio of rabbits to a family in Haiti in the name of someone special? Bunnies raise a farming family's income because they, well, reproduce like rabbits — six litters a year! Heifer International arranges the gift on its Web site (heifer.org).
Damon Winter/The New York Times
Nicholas D. Kristof
On the Ground
Or for $52 you can buy your uncle something more meaningful than a necktie: send an Afghan girl to school for a year in his name, through the International Rescue Committee (rescue.org).
Yes, it's time for my annual holiday-giving guide. The question I most often get from readers is "what can I do?" This column is an answer. As in past years, I'm highlighting small organizations because you're less likely to know about them.
Shining Hope for Communities (shininghopeforcommunities.org) was started by Kennedy Odede, a slum-dweller in Nairobi, Kenya, who taught himself to read. A visiting American gave him a book on the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and it inspired Odede to organize local residents to fight against social injustice — particularly sexual violence, because his 16-year-old sister had just been raped.
Odede now runs an outstanding girls' school in the heart of the Kibera slum in Nairobi, along with a clinic, a water and sanitation program, and job training classes. That slum school is one of the most hopeful places I've ever visited.
After I wrote about Shining Hope in 2011, Times readers contributed $180,000, leading to a huge expansion so that Shining Hope (mostly through the clinic) now serves some 36,000 people. Another nearby slum, Mathare, has invited Odede to start a girls' school there if he can find the resources.
Dr. Hawa Abdi (vitalvoices.org/hawafund) runs a hospital, school and refugee camp in war-torn Somalia. She became an obstetrician-gynecologist partly because her mother had died in childbirth, and she has focused on helping rural Somali women.
The land around her 400-bed hospital, outside of Mogadishu, has become an encampment serving up to 90,000 people made homeless by war. Hawa has provided water, health care and education, and when students transfer to Mogadishu they are up to three grades ahead of children there. Hawa also is battling female genital mutilation, and she runs a jail for men who beat their wives.
An extremist Muslim militia with 750 soldiers attacked the hospital two years ago, saying that it was against religion for a woman to run anything substantial. Hawa stood up to the attackers and — because ordinary Somalis sided with her — she was able to force the militia to back down. Then she made the militia write her an apology!
Yet Hawa's hospital and school are struggling financially. Vital Voices, a Washington organization supporting women's rights, has set up a tax-deductible mechanism to keep Hawa's work going.
Polaris Project (polarisproject.org) is a leader in the fight against human trafficking in the United States. One of its most important projects is a nationwide hot line, with interpreters on standby for 176 languages, for anyone who sees people who may be trafficked. It's (888) 373-7888 . This year alone, Polaris says, it has helped more than 3,200 victims get services through the hot line.
Polaris, based in Washington, has also been a powerful advocate for tougher laws around the country — those that target pimps rather than just the girls who are their victims. Polaris says that this year alone it has helped 17 states pass laws on human trafficking. And Polaris has supported nearly 500 trafficking survivors as they start new lives.
Fair Girls (fairgirls.org) is also based in Washington and fights sex trafficking at home and abroad. Its founder, Andrea Powell, braves dangerous streets and disgusting Web sites for hours in search of girls enslaved in the sex trade, and she is fearless about confronting pimps and prying girls from their grasp.
Earlier this year, I wrote about one of the trafficking survivors Fair Girls has helped: Alissa, the street name of a Boston girl whose cheek is scarred where a pimp gouged her with a potato peeler as a warning not to run away. Alissa ultimately testified against her pimps and sent them to prison. Now, with Powell's mentoring, she is helping other girls escape that life as well.
Fair Girls also trains trafficking survivors to make jewelry, which makes nice gifts and is available on the group's Web site.

UN undertakes polio vaccination campaign in Iraq
The United Nations said Monday it was undertaking a mass polio vaccination campaign in Iraq, hoping to reach millions of children as the highly contagious virus crosses from Syria into neighboring countries.
The U.N. is trying to reach 4 million children under 5 throughout Iraq. The campaign was launched after two cases of polio were discovered in Baghdad earlier this year, said Jeffery Bates of the U.N.'s child agency, UNICEF.
Bates said the polio cases in Iraq likely crossed over from Syria, where the country's civil war has disrupted its health care system and some children have not been immunized against the highly contagious virus that can paralyze or kill.
"It was just a matter of time before it worked its way across the border into Iraq," said Bates in the city of Irbil, capital of the largely autonomous Kurdish areas of northern Iraq. "The two cases we found in Baghdad were closely related to the Syrian virus."
Polio usually strikes children under 5 and is most often spread through infected water. There is no specific cure, but several vaccines exist.
The U.N. is struggling to reach children in territory held by militants of the Islamic State group, which have seized large swaths of Iraq, including its second-largest city of Mosul. The constant flux of tens of thousands of displaced Iraqis moving around the country fleeing the extremists also is a problem, Bates said.
"We can't get into some areas due to security. (Others) are on the move ... (and) when we do outreach, we're unable to find them," he said.
The U.N. estimates that there are nearly 1.5 million displaced Iraqis in the country, most who fled their home as the Islamic State militant group began their sweep into western and northern Iraq in June.
For the first time ever, the World Health Organization in May declared the spread of polio an international public health emergency that could grow worse and unravel the nearly three-decade effort to eradicate the crippling disease.

My children have reached the age where I am certain they simply cannot believe in Santa Claus anymore. Honestly, I don't really know how this works because I never believed in him. Incidentally, he never brought me a single fucking present, so either I was right, or what I keep telling my kids is right - the moment you stop believing in him, he stops believing in you.
So my brother was asking me today if he could gift my kids a copy of Modern Warfare 3 for Christmas, and I was like, I think they have it already, and he was like...
So I checked. I needed to find out whether they'd be shooting the shit out of nazis or people. There is a difference. I hoped on Google and before I could even put the 3 in the search, the Great Eye of Mountain View popped this up:
Okay, it's weird enough that Google always always knows what I'm searching for, but now it knows who my best friend's husband is? Isn't the slightest bit odd that Google is like, "You know, there is really no better testmonial than that of a friend who's kitchen you sat in last weeked, talking about his trick finger *wink wink nudge nudge*" Does Google get a kick-back off all the XBox 360 rehab searches we parents are going to have to conduct over the next decade, or are they really just that into me?
Of course I'm obsessing about this because I'm 51% Pisces and 73% paranoid schizophrenic. I'm freaking out that Google has figured out who I know and it putting it together with what I'm interested in. Somehow, Google has figured out a way to see me when I'm sleeping, and knows when I'm awa.....HOLY SHIT GOOGLE IS SANTA CLAUS.
So I figure I better listen, since it's like five weeks from Christmas and Yes, Virginia! There really is a Santa Claus and HE HAS ARRANGED FOR YOUR FRIENDS TO MONITOR YOUR INTERNET SEARCH RESULTS. So I do what Google tells me to and ask Ron Mattocks.
Ron Mattocks tells me to raise my own damn kids. Figures.

"You come here with your laptop computers, your malaria medicine and your little bottles of hand sanitizer and think you can change the outcome, huh?"
The flickering light from my laptop screen turns the inside of the mosquito net into a tent of shimmering blue silk. I reach out and take a doxycycline tablet from its packaging; the green capsule leaves a chalky smear on my tongue. A swallow of cold mineral water washes away the faintly unpleasant medicinal taste as the electric fan overhead swings past, providing another few precious seconds of relief. What am I doing here?
Danny Archer, Leonardo di Caprio's character in the film Blood Diamond, is not the first person to directly or indirectly ask me some version of this question. Before leaving the UK to board the plane for Kiva Fellow's training in San Francisco I had become the master of confidently fending off concerned questions from my friends, family and colleagues concerning my motivations, intentions and sanity.
Back in this previous life, in the icy cold of a London December, I sat writing my motivation statement for Kiva. I wrote that I wanted to participate in some tiny way in the story that is Kiva, to go and hear first-hand some of the stories of success and of failure that Kiva Borrowers are living every day and that Kiva lenders participate in through the magical combination of the internet and of credit.
So three weeks into my Fellowship here in Senegal I thought I might share a few early stories with you of what it actually means to be a Kiva Fellow.
A Story of Chemistry (or: Why I love Microcredit)
There is an expression here in Senegal; "Barca ou Barcakh", which translates as "Barcelona or death". Every year thousands of young Senegalese men and women set off on the dangerous journey to Europe. Too many die on the way. The story of COFLEC, the Collectif des Femmes pour la Lutte contre l'Emigration Clandestine ("the womens' collective for the struggle against illegal emigration") has been brilliantly told by my Kiva colleague and friend Kathy Guis in her blog post: http://kivanews.blogspot.com/2010/10/making-soap-fighting-illegal.html
The first time I encounter some of these stories first hand is on a delinquent borrower visit, a very quiet affair that takes place in a shaded sitting room in Yoff. It is here that I first meet Sali, COFLEC's Yoff representative. Later I ask if I can go back and find out more about COFLEC.
"We do it to keep our children here", Sali tells me when I ask her about the motivation behind COFLEC. It is not only the deaths at sea that trouble the members of COFLEC. They also run programmes to repatriate Senegalese expats and return them to their families. The most important part of these programmes revolves around providing economic opportunities for ambitious young men and women here in Senegal. In the Yoff office there are two main industries that are promoted by COFLEC: fishing and soap manufacturing.
It touches me that the loans for both of these activities have been financed by Kiva Lenders. I am quite certain that these same Lenders would forgive COFLEC both of these loans if asked; but that is not how microfinance works. As Sali shows me around the small soap making facilities on the roof of her house, I am caught off guard by her sudden infectious smile. The loan repayments were late, she tells me, because of problems on the Guinea border. This restricted the supply of palm oil, one of the key ingredients of soap, making it unaffordable.
COFLEC have been experimenting with rachid oil, which is plentiful in Senegal. A mix of 50 / 50 rachid and palm oil does not noticeably impact on the quality of the soap, but makes its manufacture economical again even with the current high price of palm oil. As the latter drops this innovation could also improve the profitability of soap production – an interesting bit of chemistry, catalysed by microfinance that might result in fewer families mourning their young ones.
A Story of Partnership (or: How I Keep Ending up on TV)
The sun was beating down in its usual relentless way as Abdoulaye and I pulled up at the Senghor National Stadium in Dakar to attend UIMCEC's annual presentation of results. It was early on a Saturday morning and after only three hours sleep I was already tired and uncomfortable in my supposed summer suit. As we entered the stadium and climbed the stairs towards the function suit a tall, well-dressed African came striding towards us. "Monsieur Tim!", he exclaimed and with a hand on my shoulder guided me away from the inviting breakfast buffet table and down a long dark corridor to a room filled with slightly over-sized sofas.
My host is MBacké Gueye, President of UIMCEC and one of the most charming people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. As I perch on my sofa, smiling and trying to remember how to greet the assembled dignitaries in Wolof, I catch myself wondering about the many facets of Kiva.
The truth, as I am about to find out, is that Kiva is not financially a terribly important part of UIMCEC's success story (full disclosure here). During 2010 UIMCEC grew its loan portfolio by 30% to $14 million. Over this same period, Kiva Lenders funded $358,400 of UIMCEC loans, accounting for just 2.3% of the total of $15.8 million of loans dispersed by UIMCEC during 2010. And yet here I am talking about football and microcredit with some of West Africa's most influential social entrepreneurs.
Seated in pride of place at the centre table, just to the left of the Ousman Thiongane, the CEO, I am fortunately not asked to make a speech. This does not stop me receiving a lot of attention from the national TV camera crew, however, who are once again out in force (I think they might be following me). My role here is not entirely passive however. As Ousman reaches a slide on UIMCEC's partnerships, I am asked to stand and wave to the assembled crowd as Ousman talks about Kiva (in Wolof) to universal applause. Later I am called upon to help give out prizes.
This aspect of Kiva is less tangible than statistics about money raised and loans granted, but no less important. Kiva has the capacity to bridge cultures, religions, linguistic, ethnic and economic divides like no other organisation I have encountered. People are proud to be associated with Kiva and to be part of its unique global network that puts individuals in touch with individuals in the struggle to end world poverty.
Mr. Di Caprio might have the good looks, the glib lines and a passable Southern African accent, but I don't think Danny Archer would have made a good Kiva Fellow. And there are two further points I would like to make to him in response:
1) I didn't bring any hand sanitizer. Soap is fine for me.
2) I don't expect to change the outcome. I just want to meet some of the people who are already doing just that.
Tim Young is a Kiva Fellow with UIMCEC in Senegal. Since arriving here he has seen and heard more stories than he could possibly ever tell and has been touched by the hard-working, good-natured, innovative approach of UIMCEC's borrowers. Want to hear stories first hand? Why not apply to be a Kiva Fellow yourself and find out how microfinance really changes lives. Find out how here: http://www.kiva.org/fellows. In the meantime Tim would like to dedicate this post to his sister Charlotte, who shares his love of Africa and Blood Diamond!

Random Characters
The following characters are a sampling of the men and women strewn around Liberty City you will randomly meet during your journey. Generally, you'll encounter them after certain missions and other requirements are fulfilled, which differs from character to character. However, they aren't going anywhere, so as a result we recommend that you wait until you complete the story mode. Then, you can quickly drive around to each character to do their mission or missions. The reason these characters are different from main story characters is that your time with them is incredibly abbreviated, and the missions are usually of the mindless variety. Keep in mind that our list of characters below isn't exhaustive, but rather shows you a sampling of some of the characters you will meet. Often, characters will be met more than once at different times and at different places, and you'll build a sort of perverse rapport with them. So, enjoy our list below, but remember!—it's not all-inclusive.
Brian (First Encounter)[edit]
You'll first encounter Brian near Roman's original cab stand on Iroquois Avenue in western Broker. When you run into him standing idle on the street corner, he'll immediately begin talking crap to Niko, insulting him. This is only a conversation, so you don't have to actually do anything. What's more, the arrogant Brian will hand you a hundred dollar bill just to show you how awesome he is. Thanks, idiot!
Mel (Only Encounter)[edit]
If you have a good memory, you'll remember that early on in the game, a guy got plastered at the bar called Comrades in Broker, and fell all over the place. Well, that guy's name is Mel, and if you head to where Masterson Street and Mohawk Avenue run into each other in Broker, you'll find him standing on the street. Believe it or not, Mel is straight-up now—no more booze and drugs. But, he has a debt to pay off and is afraid to go alone. Naturally, he coercively asks Niko to go with him, and Niko agrees.
Your destination is off of Soldier's Plaza, where Sundance Street intersects with the traffic circle surrounding the plaza (the GPS will get you there once Mel gets into Niko's vehicle). When you arrive, hostilities will immediately erupt. It appears Mel was a bit of a violent, idiotic drunk and pissed a lot of people off. Three thugs pull guns on Niko (Mel cowardly stands on the far side of the street). Kill them all, and then go back and pick up Mel. He'll hand over $500 for your trouble, but you'll need to bring him back to Masterson and Mohawk for the short mission to conclude.
Badman (Only Encounter)[edit]
Remember Badman? He's Little Jacob's good friend, and is completely incomprehensible in his speaking, even more so than Little Jacob himself. You can find him chilling out on Dukes Boulevard in between Morris Street and Harrison Street. When you arrive, he'll talk to you, but even with subtitles you're going to have a hard time understanding exactly what it is he's asking you or telling you. Regardless, one thing is clear—some Russian dudes are giving him a hard time, and thus it's time to clean that mess up.
Grab a car and wait for Badman to get in. Your destination is a tight alleyway off of Carrollton Street in Dukes, in between Cleves Avenue and Saratoga Avenue. Once you arrive, you have two realistic options. The first is to take your vehicle into the tight alleyway and use it as a weapon, driving down the alley to kill, maim or otherwise injure the five enemies waiting for Badman here. Otherwise, you can walk in with Badman with guns blazing. Explosives work on your foes especially well here because there's little place to run. Chucking a Molotov Cocktail or grenade, for instance, will incinerate your foes rather easily. Once they're all dead, Badman will thank Niko and go on his way.
Ilyena (Only Encounter)[edit]
Faustin had a wife as you may remember, and her name was Ilyena. She was a nice Russian woman who had to deal on a daily basis with an abusive husband and an out-of-control daughter, but she hung in there. But now, her husband is dead and her daughter is hanging out with the wrong crowd again. You can find Ilyena on the boardwalk along the water on the southern end of Broker, right where the boardwalk runs into the leftmost unnamed street off of Crockett Avenue. When you speak with her, she'll fill you in. Niko has a soft spot for her, so he agrees to get the guy turning her daughter into a stripper off of her back.
When the conversation with Ilyena concludes, grab a vehicle and follow the GPS directions on your HUD. They will lead you to an alleyway off of Dillon Street in between Tuscarora Avenue and Seneca Avenue in Broker. When you arrive, the scumbag boyfriend will be nonchalantly hanging out at the mouth of the alleyway. Ilyena asked you not to be violent, so Niko simply threatens him. But when he runs off after talking a load of crap to Niko, Niko has no choice but to pull a gun on him and shoot him. So, when he runs, be sure to train a gun on him and take him out. Once the man is slain, this mission concludes.
Pathos (First Encounter)[edit]
On Denver-Exeter Avenue in Algonquin, a major road that splits the island in half, you can find a man named Pathos (look near Star Junction, in between Kunzite Street and Lorimar Street). Pathos is an independent rapper trying to sell his wares on the street. After a rather humorous conversation with Niko, however, some haters come by and start talking some (really funny) crap to Pathos. Pathos goes off to fight them thereafter.
Pathos is a really nice guy, so Niko agrees to help him out. The game will prompt you to go and assist him. Thankfully, there are only two guys to deal with, and neither are armed with anything more than their fists, so you should have no issues here. Unfortunately, flagrant firearm use in the middle of Star Junction is almost certainly going to attract unwanted police attention, so after helping Pathos out, be sure to lose your wanted level!
Cherise (Only Encounter)[edit]
Head to the northernmost section of Algonquin, where a familiar face can be found (if you spared her life during the game's main missions, that is). This is Cherise, Dwayne's ex-girlfriend. She'll be hanging out outside of Cluckin' Bell on the corner of Exeter Avenue and Wardite Street, and she'll recognize Niko as soon as you get close enough. Unfortunately for her, though, Niko doesn't recognize her at first. But when he does, the two get talking, and it appears that Niko needs to teach Cherise's new boyfriend a lesson in how to treat women. Why? Well, because he's hitting her.
Upon telling you not to kill him, Cherise sends you on your way. Her boyfriend is located at the apartment complex off of Frankfort Avenue at the far northern end of the borough. So, grab a car, let Cherise get in, and drive up there via your GPS coordinates on the HUD. When you arrive, Cherise will stay behind as Niko goes forward towards the red dot on his HUD, representing her deadbeat boyfriend. He has too much to say, though, and although Cherise asked Niko not to kill him, you're going to have to do so anyway. When you report back to Cherise, however, she doesn't seem all that upset about it. She promises to do better from now on and then goes on her way.
Jeff (First Encounter)[edit]
Jeff is a guy you can find at the northeast section of Algonquin, hanging out on the corner of Bismarck Avenue and Uranium Street. Upon arrival, Jeff will immediately start freaking out like he even knows Niko (but make no mistake about it, he doesn't). It seems his wife is cheating on him and he's privy to this knowledge. By the time he gets himself together, Niko attempts to go off on his way only to find himself once again intercepted by Jeff, who asks him to follow his wife and her boy toy and snap some pictures for him. It's not immediately clear if he wants these pictures for perverted reasons or as evidence, but either way he offers money. A job's a job, right?
Jeff's wife isn't going too fast so there's really nothing to worry about as far as losing her. The car will appear as a red dot on your HUD in case you're in danger of losing her, but the fact is this almost certainly won't happen (in fact, you'll probably have to actively not go fast just so you don't bump the car). You'll eventually arrive at a multi-floored restaurant on Bismarck Avenue. Head on inside and use the stairs on your right to go to the second floor. Here, you'll find Jeff's wife and the unknown male. Pull out your phone and take a picture of the two, and then send it to Jeff. Thereafter, head outside. After a brief phone conversation, this initial Jeff mission concludes.
Marnie (First Encounter)[edit]
Marnie is fiending. She needs a fix, and she needs it bad. You can find this mess of a woman sitting on a bench in a small park off of Liberty Lane on the west side of Algonquin. She'll do whatever it takes to get her fix of "junk" apparently, including presenting Niko with a plethora of perverse offers to get the money she needs to buy her drugs. But when Niko just offers to give her money for nothing, she lets him know that she really needs the drugs more than the money, and tells him that there's a place they can go to get the goods. Niko, of course, reluctantly agrees.
Unfortunately for you, there's no real benefit in completing this mission (other than the fact that it gets completionists one step closer to 100%). In fact, it's going to cost you $500 by the time you arrive at your destination, since Marnie needs not only a ride to her drug dealer, but the money to purchase the goods from him as well. The dealer isn't located in Algonquin, unfortunately, so you'll need to drive westward to Alderney (likely taking the Booth Tunnel to get there). Once in Alderney, all you have to do is bring her to an alleyway off of Roebuck Road. From there, she'll abscond with your money and the mission will end, but worry not, for you'll be seeing her again real soon.
Hossan (Only Encounter)[edit]
On Frankfort Street in Algonquin, Niko will run into an old friend named Hossan. Apparently, these two go way back and haven't seen one another since their time back in the old country. Hossan is keeping busy selling knockoff handbags on the street corner, and the two men begin to catch up with one another. When Hossan receives a phone call from an unknown party, he asks Niko to take a walk with him while he goes and picks up some cash owed to him. And just like that, you'll be on your way.
Castle Drive is near your location, and that's where Hossan needs to be taken to collect his cash. But upon arriving, the guy who owes him money balks because Hossan isn't a legal immigrant to the country. After brutally head-butting Hossan, the man then makes off in his sports car. Wait for Hossan to jump back into your car and give the man chase, bumping him when you can and taking shots at him with a gun of your choice while driving. The latter is going to attract police attention, especially in well-to-do Algonquin, so be ready for that. When you finally get his car to crash, kill him when he gets out, and grab the money he drops (which belongs to Hossan). Then, drive Hossan to a new destination as seen on your HUD. For your help, he'll fork over $500. Not bad!
Jeff (Second Encounter)[edit]
Remember that crazy guy Jeff, the guy who was losing it on the side of the street as his wife apparently cheated on him with another man? Well, yeah, Jeff's gone ahead and lost it completely. You'll get a phone call from him randomly after you initially meet him and help him out. He's killed his wife, and he needs you to dispose of the body. Niko is confused how a man like Jeff can lose it so easily, but he agrees to meet up with him a parking garage in Algonquin off of Topaz Street (bordering the northern end of Middle Park). From wherever you are when you accept his phone call, you're going to have to head to that location. The GPS will take you there, so no worries.
After arriving and having a rather interesting conversation, Niko will name his price ($5,000) and take Jeff's car from him to dispose of it and his wife's body. The location in which you have to dispose of the body, thankfully, is really close by—due north of the parking garage on Grummer Road, the northernmost road in Algonquin. However, if any police cars are in your vicinity as you drive (and they most likely will be), they'll give you a one star wanted level as you go north (and the route will disappear from your GPS). Just continue to head north if and when this happens, since a one star wanted rating is easy to lose. When you arrive at the designated area, drive the vehicle as fast as you can towards the ramp leading into the water. Bail out at the last second to make sure you don't go down with the car, but remember! You can still bail out and land in the water yourself, just as long as you're not in the car when it touches down.

I'm often wondering on the golf course how I can balance the speed of my round with playing a round of golf that's respectful of etiquette, my playing partners and my own enjoyment.
I have a problem with my backswing. I have a tendency to bring the club back on different swingplanes. Can you give me a key to a consistent swingplane.
3 Aug 2011 - 3:14pm - 0 Comments
I purchased your swing plane cd set and found it to be very helpful (at least swining clubs in my livingroom - I live in Boston, course opens next week). I can never get comfortable in the following two areas:
3 Aug 2011 - 3:12pm - 0 Comments
My core question is, should I learn to play a fade or draw with my driver so I can build some consistency with landing area? In other words, should I work to correct the core inconsistency in my swing or learn to play a more predictable pattern? Is a straight shot bad?
3 Aug 2011 - 3:10pm - 0 Comments
I know it is hard to tell a person the reason their ball is doing what it is doing without seeing them hit in person but my question is what might be making me pull hook a ball off the tee. Could I possibly be playing the ball to far forward in my stance?
3 Aug 2011 - 3:09pm - 0 Comments
I'm a big fan of the one plane swing but I was wondering in your takeaway should it be a set arms and wrists or should it be all shoulders? I hear different answers from many people and I think it would be best to hear from the man himself.

How do I stop thinking about my score during a tournament or qualifiers? When I play for score I can not help thinking about what I did on the hole before if it was a birdie or a bogey. I just can not help it.

With my driver and fairway woods I have an outside to inside swing causing a severe slice. Im fine with my irons only happens with woods. what can I do to correct this???

I have a tendency to get across the line at the top of my swing which leads me to block shots, especially with my driver. What drills or instruction can you give me to help with this?
3 Aug 2011 - 3:01pm - 0 Comments
My wedges and irons are usually a strong point in my game, but since the start of this season I have a funny tendency from time to time. I will have a slice come off my club and not just a little, a hard low line drive straight to the right!! Got any suggestions?

I feel very comfortable with the 10 finger grip. When watching the big boys they either use the over lap or enter lock grip which I also can use. By using the 10 finger grip, am I at any disadvantages like loosing distance or accuracy?
3 Aug 2011 - 2:56pm - 0 Comments
I sometimes push the driver to the right, but it's not a slice. Is this my grip or swing or both?

I get out of soft and fluffy sand very well. However untended and unraked, wet, hard packed sand I tend to blade the ball so my open face, bounce exposed, slide the club under the ball obviously is the wrong technique.

My daughter suffers from crossing the line at the top. She is right handed and her shaft at the top many times points to right feild. I have tried many things but have not come up with a simple cure. She says she cannot even feel it when she does it. Any suggestions?

I'm a senior golfer and I use graphite shafts - I have for several years. Please explain the punch shot. I was watching the Sony Open and I saw several players with abbreviated swings. Nick Faldo tried to describe it but I didn't understand.

I have been a low handicapper all my life. I practice all the time. For some reason, I recently started shanking every iron I have been hitting. I have tried a lot of things. Nothing is working. First time in my career this has happened. What am I doing?
3 Aug 2011 - 2:46pm - 0 Comments
I need a good drill for developing a better lag with "the move" toward the ball and complementary improvement in clubhead speed.

I have just returned to playing golf after a six year layoff. I am having issues with pushing my irons left or right of the hole when I feel I am correctly aiming at my target.
3 Aug 2011 - 2:43pm - 0 Comments
I have tried to get into a routine where I stand behind the ball, locate a target, visualize the ball flight towards the target, setup and swing. The problem is, when I address the ball, I can never get my ball to go straight towards the target.

I've recently switched to using a Mac full-time, and am having trouble getting used to Terminal.app after years of loving gnome-terminal. I miss having URLs show up underlined, using alt+arrow to move between words, and having screen+ssh behave the way I'm used to it.
I'm trying to get used to the following key combinations to survive in Terminal.app:
- AltB to go back a word
- AltF to go forward a word
- AltA to go to the beginning of a line
- AltE to go to the end of a line
- you can still right-click on a URL to open it, it just doesn't look pretty like in gnome-terminal
Does anyone have any other good tips or alternative terminal suggestions to retain command line efficiency on a Mac?
