Regie Cabico's Visualizing the Caged Bird Out Loud [1]
P&W-funded Regie Cabico is the coeditor, with poet and novelist Brittany Fonte, of the recently published anthology of queer poetry and spoken word, Flicker and Spark (Lowbrow Press). His own work has appeared in over thirty anthologies, including Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Café, Spoken Word Revolution, and Chorus & The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry. He received the 2006 Writers for Writers Award from Poets & Writers for his work teaching at-risk youth at Bellevue Hospital in New York. He is a former Artist in Residence at NYU's Asian Pacific American Studies Program and has served as faculty at Banff's Spoken Word Program. He resides in Washington, D.C.
For the last three years, I have been working with the D.C. Commission for the Arts on Poetry Out Loud, A National Poetry Recitation Competition. This year, I have worked primarily with McKinley Technological High School and Latin Public Charter School. My job is to help students find their unique interpretations of poetry selected by Poetry Out Loud. The competition goes from local high school, to the state level, and then to the national competition.
I am amazed by the students' choices of poems: What lures a teen poet to John Keats or Anne Bradstreet? Students in the state and national competitions must memorize three poems and one of the poems has to be from the nineteenth century. For a long time, I resisted Poetry Out Loud as a contest that was removed from the poetry slam. I thought that the required poems were antiquated and out of touch with the students' racial and/or economic backgrounds.
For decades, I taught at-risk teens at Bellevue hospital with Tina Jacobson. I know that young people can write and perform poetry that is closer to their experience and also ends up giving voice to unrepresented and marginalized youth. I am inspired by the librarian Sarah Elwell, who is a magnet for students. Ms. Elwell tirelessly brings speakers and artists to the library to inspire them. Lisa Pegram is a teacher with whom I have worked as D.C. youth slam coach. Ms. Pegram aka Lady Pcoq is a musician, poet, and playwright who gets to engage her students in artistic explorations through the Poetry Out Loud program.
Ms. Pegram and I have students record themselves on their iPhones, create broadsides of their poems, and categorize each word of their poems by noun and verb so that they are able to understand every word they're memorizing. With Ms. Elwell, I have turned the library into a literary and performance playground. The goal is to get students to live the poem and dive into the world of the images they are reciting. I have to get them to engage in the musicality of the text and also create a story for them to fall into.
On March 5, 2013, I prepped students at McKinley High School. The Daughters of the American Revolution, the D.C. Public Library, and the Washington Teachers Union were represented as judges. Fifteen students competed, and the poems moved quickly because poems were short, unlike a slam where there is a three minute limit.
Then, it moved from fifteen to six poets. I had worked with all of the six poets but one. Students got up and forgot lines, but the student body was supportive. In the end, Tshala Pajibo, an eleventh grader, won. She was not the most polished performer, but Ms. Pajibo exhibited focus and made a physical stomp and her vocal strength, as well as her dynamic performance choices, made the audience jump. She performed Maya Angelou's poem, "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings." When I worked with Ms. Pajibo, I asked her to "visualize" the bird and tell the story of the bird.
Ultimately, there is a value to taking something that you did not write and interpreting and finding a story in it. There is value in memorizing Emily Dickinson or William Blake in order to move through history and time. It brings a lineage to a slam poet's performance. It encourages them to write outside of the box, and it provides another set of diction for the artists to use. One of the categories in the individual poetry slam competition is the "One Minute Poem." Poetry Out Loud is full of poems twenty-five lines and under. I hope poets who are working on their one-minute poems will take a look at these poems for inspiration. As a former musical theater major, I had to find songs that I could perform well for auditions. I have as much joy finding poems that suit me. I would love to perform the work of Robert Creeley, Stuart Dybek, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Who knew? I am grateful to Carlyn Madden at the D.C. Commission for the Arts who brings so much care to arts in education in Washington D.C.

I have created a simple script tool which has a single parameter of type "String". I have written the tool validation to disable the input field (simply trying to learn tool validation). The validator code is as follows:
class ToolValidator:
def __init__(self):
import arcpy
self.params = arcpy.GetParameterInfo()
def initializeParameters(self):
self.params[0].Enabled = 0
def updateParameters(self):
def updateMessages(self):
Unfortunately, when I open the tool, the field is not disabled (as I expect it should be). Any ideas what I'm missing?
SOLUTION: In case it's not clear in the threads below. The solution to the issue was to change Enabled to enabled, which is a case change between ArcGIS 9.3 and 10.0. This capitalization works correctly both in the initializeParameters method and the updateMessages method.

Fort Lauderdale native Steel Lafferty, one of the world's top wakeboarders, came in 10th overall at the Red Bull Wake Open July 5-6 in Tampa. The event, which was broadcast on NBC, brought together 35 athletes.
He finished 12th last year, when he competed with a severe biceps injury.
A graduate of Westminster Academy, Lafferty has practiced throughout South Florida: at Crystal Lake in Pompano Beach, Mills Pond Park in Fort Lauderdale, Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach and Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach. He's now training in the Orlando area, a wakeboarding mecca due to its many lakes, but returns regularly to visit family and attend Miami Heat and Dolphins games.
Q: Besides your sport, are there other reasons you keep fit?
A: Yeah, life is a lot better healthy. I live an active lifestyle all-around, playing basketball and skateboarding besides wakeboarding professionally.
Q: What's your workout routine?
A: I do a lot of gym stuff. More core [exercises] than anything else, because with wakeboarding I'm already doing a lot of pounding on my knees, so I'm not running a lot. And lifting weights is not important because I don't want to get big. I want to stay lean.
I'll sit on one of those big balls and stretch all parts of my body for 20 minutes. Then do 100 crunches. Then leg raises. Then I'll bring the pull-down bar down so my right elbow touches my left knee and then my left elbow touches my right knee. I'll twist with the medicine ball and hang from the chin-up bar while doing leg raises. Exercises like that. I don't keep track of my numbers, just keep going till I get burned out.
Between each of those exercises, I'll bike for five minutes to get my heart rate up. I do all that three or four times a week in the off-season. During the season, I do this workout only once or twice a week.
I love playing basketball for my cardio as well. I would love to play basketball every day, but [do it] two times a week usually.
Q: How tough is wakeboarding?
A: You're using legs, arms, everything. You've got to use your legs when you hit the waves for explosiveness, and core to keep you in balance. Use arms and upper body holding the handle. There's not one part of your body you don't use.
Q: How did injury affect you in last year's Red Bull Wake Open?
A: In the world, I was fourth last year overall. At Wake Open, I was injured, had torn my short tendon in my left biceps. Tore that pretty bad. But this year, 100 percent healthy. Although I just got over ear surgery. Blew out an eardrum wakeboarding and had to get surgery.
Q: Does your family keep fit?
A: My dad loves biking. He's a huge road biker. At 6 a.m., he'll go on a 40-mile bike ride with his crew. My mom loves to play tennis and go on runs. My older brother, he's pretty athletic. He likes to wake surf. My little brother is streamlined, perfect for running and biking. He bikes with my dad and has run cross-country.
Q: Do you smoke or have any other health vices?
A: I don't smoke. I'll have a cigar on special occasions. I'll have a few beers now and then with the guys. I try to not get too hammered because it takes me out of the game. If I get drunk, it's two steps back.
Q: What's your typical daily diet?
A: Definitely varies. I'm always on the road [competing] so it's hard to stay on a certain diet. I drink a lot of water. I don't drink a lot of soda. Red Bull if I need a pick-me-up or to focus on working out. Foodwise, I stick with fruits and vegetables — apples, bananas, easy stuff like that. If my body's craving something, I don't hold out because I know I'm working it off.
Q: Take any vitamins or sports-nutrition products?
A: Not really. Just drink a lot of water after working out and get carbs and protein.

Animated film "Abominable" will not be shown in Malaysia after its distributor Sunday said it could not comply with censors' demands to cut a controversial scene showing Beijing's disputed claims in the South China Sea.
1 day ago
A scene in the film "Abominable" featuring a map with Beijing's disputed South China Sea claims sparked a growing regional backlash Friday, with Malaysia cutting the segment just days after Vietnam pulled the movie entirely.
2 days ago
With numerous acts showing outright "bullying" of South China Sea claimant states, the United States has said it remains skeptical of China's commitment to negotiate an effective code of conduct in the disputed waters.

"We wish to assure the public that the said movie is already off the Philippine market effective October 15, 2019," MTRCB chair Rachel Arenas said.

Beijing's provocative actions in the disputed South China Sea prevent Southeast Asian nations from accessing resources in the area, a US Department of State official said.

Get excited! We've got two elimination games slated for today, as both series have come down to a Game 5. Will the Orioles continue their unlikely run through the postseason? Will Natitude prevail? Will Alex Rodriguez overdose on sleeping pills in the dugout?
While you find all of these things out, hang out here and discuss the action.

If you were watching the ESPN postgame last night you probably heard a lot about how Tony Romo and the Cowboys "dug deep." This is a nice way of crediting the winners of an ugly, sloppily played game, which I've reduced here to a few of its ugliest, most sloppily played moments.
The Cowboys fumbled six times in the game. Only one fumble was recovered by the Redskins, whose lone fumble, in turn, would seal the Dallas victory.

The Marlins are reportedly quite pissed that the Red Sox fielded barely any major leaguers for today's spring training matchup. I will get this out of the way so you needn't bother: Marlins fans are quite pissed that the Marlins field barely any major leaguers during the regular season.
According to the Sun-Sentinel's delightfully frothing Juan C. Rodriguez, Marlins executives are "outraged" over the travel lineup the Red Sox brought to Jupiter, and plan to formally complain to the league office.
They are presumably not outraged enough to refund fans, who paid "super premium" prices for this and only this spring game. "Super premium" means the Marlins jacked up the cost of tickets anywhere from 42 to 66 percent.
That lineup is pretty ugly. Only Ryan Lavarnway and Jackie Bradley Jr. have any major league experience, which goes against MLB policy requiring at least four players who either were or are projected to be big-league regulars.
John Farrell says to chill out:
"You deal with travel," Boston manager John Farrell said. "You deal with availability of players. You deal with what we're trying to get done. Today is an enormous workday for our entire infield with Brian (Butterfield) back at home. We earmarked this day on the calendar to do just that. The integrity of the game and for what the fans are going to come and see, we certainly take that into account, but our team is the priority, the individual needs guys have."
The game ended 0-0 in the eighth inning after a lengthy rain delay, which seems about right.
The Marlins are just mad because they think they should be the only ones allowed to cheat their fans.

I bet some of you got this figgered out
How do I get the other IDE's to know where the libraries are??
How about something like Google Drive? Won't that keep folders in sync via a master copy on the net?
Imagine, you update and save Sketch 1 on PC1. Google Drive re-syncs teh changed file. PC2 sees updated file on Google Drive and re-syncs back down. Result = PC1 and PC2 in sync.
Would this work in that context?
The bonus would be a cloud based back up of all your files.
Hi and thanks for ideas!
Google Drive or Dropbox are possibilities. Version control probably isn't an issue with one person coding, or my wife coding totally different stuff. Usually.
Dropbox at least keeps a physical copy on all machines, so things work fine if the net is down/slow.
Where/how do I tell the IDE that stuff is not In The Usual Place??
Rob, in my 'standard' installation terry/arduino contains terry/arduino/libraries so I THINK I only have to tell IDE where the /arduino root is??
To change Sketchbook location, go to File > Preferences from within IDE.
if this code is important to you, you can't have too many backups.

Big Green Bookshop teams with Angry Robot
North London independent The Big Green Bookshop is teaming up with Angry Robot Books to offer promotions and dedicated shop space to the SFF specialist's titles.
The link-up will run from 1st January 2013 until the end of the year, with The Big Green Bookshop planning to run events around the titles in the shop, as well as dedicating a window and premium shop space to Angry Robot's titles. Its titles will be promoted on the shop's website and blog with reviews and offers. A series of competitions via social media will be run throughout the year. Events are also being planned around the release of Joseph D'Lacety's new book Black Feathers, published by Angry Robot in April.
The Big Green Bookshop co-owner Simon Key said the publisher was a good fit with the shop, with its titles "already hugely popular with our customers". He said: "We're always looking for more effective ways to introduce great books to an even wider audience and hopefully this team up will mean that more people will get to read the books that they're publishing."
He added: "This team up will also mean that the shop will be one of the top venues for London events and launches over the next 12 months, so look out for some great events in 2013."
Angry Robot fiction sales and system manager Roland Briscoe said: "We really value our local independent shops and recently I've been chatting to lots of stores and trying to come up with original joint projects that can help us help each other. The book trade is undergoing huge changes at the moment and both publishers and stores need to innovate to keep ahead and stay relevant."

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Title of work: Bless
Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya
Antonio Marez is six years old when Ultima comes to stay with his family. A curandera, or healer, Ultima teaches him about the curative powers of the natural world and the human spirit. Though some in his community see Ultima as a witch, Antonio grows to love her. As he accompanies her to gather herbs and attend to the sick, Antonio begins to probe and question the lessons of both pagan beliefs and his family's Catholicism. In the midst of this spiritual struggle, he also begins to question the future course of his own life. Throughout, Ultima guides him and gives him the courage to face challenges ranging from bigotry and the collapse of his brother, to his witnessing of violent death. A lyrical coming-of-age story that The New York Times called "probably the best-known and most-respected contemporary Chicano fiction," this novel explores the complex relationship between medicine and belief.
I think that I write about my place and what I call the spirit of my place because the people and the place had to be put in books. Our oral tradition was dying, in the sense that after World War II, when I was growing up, a big change came to New Mexico, a big change came to the Mexicanos, to the Hispanos of the Southwest. The young men were going to leave the small towns and go out and work. Some were going to go to colleges through the GI Bill of Rights. And some of those stories were going to be lost. And there was something in me that was telling me: "You have to tell the story of your community." These people are too important in what they represent. The culture and the folklore has to be in books. That's how we're going to share it in the future.
Was there a specific teacher or mentor in your schooling who encouraged you to write?
I was going to school in the 1940s and 1950s, and at that time, I don't think Chicanos were encouraged to write. By that I mean, when I look back, for example, at my high school years, I don't remember a counselor, for example, telling me that I had an ability in something. I could write and I was doing well in school. I had good grades. But there was nothing there telling me, "Why don't you try this?" Nobody even told me to try the university. After high school, I went to business school for a couple of years, and I got tired of that. And one day, by sheer accident, something told me, "Why don't you try the university?" And I went up and signed up, and that's how I kind of fell into university study. I use the term "by accident" because there was not enough guidance in those years. I think the times have changed. I think students now have more counseling and teachers who encourage them.
Why do you write in English?
I grew up in a small town in New Mexico, in Santa Rosa. My family -- uncles and aunts and grandfather, and the entire community, everybody -- spoke Spanish. So I grew up in a Spanish-speaking family, and I didn't learn English until I went to school in the first grade. That was culture shock, believe me. It was a small town and we had teachers that knew a little bit of Spanish. Thereafter, all of my schooling was in English. I went to the University of New Mexico and got a degree in the English department, in literature. So when I came to write, I wasn't prepared to write in Spanish. I was prepared to write in English. And when I wrote my first poems and short stories and novels, it was natural, I think, to write in the language of which I had command.
Talk about how World War II impacted your community.
I was in grade school in the 1940s. I had three brothers; all three were in the service. And the war was changing the small villages and small communities because the young men were gone. And there was a sense of foreboding in a way, a sense of grief, because some of them weren't coming back. And I think religion and the whole idea of the spiritual life became very important to me because my mother was a very devout Catholic and we had to pray every single night. Then, the whole idea of the atomic bomb. And I remember, as kids in school we were wondering about this terrible instrument that had been created. And we would ask ourselves, "Is the world coming to an end?" It was a time, I think, for asking a lot of deep, significant questions because of the war, because the atomic bomb was being developed.
And at the same time, I was spending my summers along the river -- I grew up along the Pecos River in New Mexico -- and feeling another kind of spiritual environment in the river, which is the power of nature. And that was calling to me as much as the other part that was sad and full of prayer, and, in a way, full of change. We knew a terrible change was coming, that the communities were just not going to be the same again.
Let's talk about how you began writing Bless Me, Ultima.
When I was at the university, I began by writing poetry. And most of the poetry that I wrote was for young women I was dating. Believe it or not, I used to write Shakespearean sonnets, because I fell in love with literature and I was reading a lot. And then I'd try my hand at different types of the poetry that I was reading. And after that, I went to novels and I wrote these long novels -- most of them were about young people in trouble. And I think that was the process of learning to write; it's kind of a process of "I don't know what I'm doing, but I have to do it, I have to write." I had come out of -- or, I'm a product of -- an oral tradition, not a written tradition. In my family and the community that I grew up in, we grew up hearing cuentos, hearing the folk stories. People were fantastic storytellers. Anybody that came to visit the family would just tell a story all night long, you know? And I guess those voices are the voices that were telling me, "You have to write."
I wrote a lot of stories and novels, and later on, I burned all the manuscripts. I threw them in a fireplace one night. And I started writing Bless Me, Ultima as a story of growing up in a small town. The story was about Antonio. But I think what happened during the process of writing Bless Me, Ultima is that Ultima came into it. Ultima visited me, appeared to me, and told me that she had to be in the novel, she had to get in the novel, she had to be a character. And that's the spirit of the novel. And I think she represents those people that used to tell stories. She represents the tradition, the culture, the healers, our mothers who took care of families. Remember, in some of these small towns at the end of the 1940s, we didn't go to the doctor, we didn't have the money. And a lot of the care was done at home by our mothers and the curanderas that maybe lived in the town or in the ranches. [If] a man fell off a horse and broke an arm, they would set it. [If] a woman was having a baby way out, 20 miles out in the middle of nowhere on a ranch, the curandera went. And so those are the voices I think that it represents.
And once Ultima appeared in the novel, then the novel acquired a soul, a life. It was more than just a story about Antonio growing up. I now become a storyteller, and I'm telling not only the story of my people and these fabulous characters that I met as a child, but she's forcing me to go deeper: 'What is your history, what is your past? What are the old, old stories? Where do they come from? And how do those give you identity? Who are you?" And so the novel answers for Antonio, the main character, who he is, and it answers it for me, the writer. And so the novel is also a process of discovery, a process of illumination, which is what all creativity is all about. The musician, the dancer, the poet, the moviemaker, are discovering not only their subject, but about themselves.
Describe the autobiographical nature of the novel.
Bless Me, Ultima is autobiographical in the sense that I relate very closely to Antonio. It's written in first person, and so every time I have Antonio doing something, I feel that Antonio is me. I use my hometown as background, I used the river, the church, the school, the villages, the people, my classmates. I just throw them in the novel. It's almost as if the novel is ready-made. But then there's the element of fiction, the element of composing to put all of this together. I have to have it make sense, create not only a chronology -- but why is that chronology important? Create not only the geography of the town and the river -- but why is it important? And it's important because as I delve deeper and deeper into that landscape, it becomes a sacred landscape. It acquires an element of the sacred that that's where my childhood took place, that's where I came from, and that's where all those stories took place. That's where people rejoiced and went to dances and had good times, and that's where people died. That's where the sheriff of the town died, where my friend drowned at the lake. I think writing is also making sense out of life, putting it together not only on the level of autobiography but, as I say, going deeper. What did I find in the river and the lakes of that small town?
How do you use myth, ritual, and folklore to illuminate culture?
I write about the Mexican Americans here in the Southwest, specifically New Mexico. But myth is something that is inherent in us. Not only am I a maker of myths, but every person is too. It's part of our inheritance. And I think if we can look at it that way, then it doesn't become something that's foreign. It's just in us. That's part of our capacity as human beings, to carry those stories within us. And one way to begin, I think, especially, to understand Bless Me, Ultima is to maybe read some of the folktales of New Mexico. We have the fabulous collection of the oral tradition that was brought up into this country by the Spaniards and by the Mexicans that settled here in the sixteenth century. And if you could read a few of those folktales, you can understand not only the fantasy and the themes, but you can understand how the people carried that whole sense of storytelling and mythology and [how] they brought it to the place in which they settled. I'm just a product of that whole place and that community, and so I'm just a link in the chain. There were storytellers before me and there will be storytellers after me, and I just happened to like to touch that depth of the origins. Myth tells us of the origins: How did things get started? What is our relationship to the gods? Our relationship to the spiritual world? And that's what you find in Bless Me, Ultima.
Explain the significance of La Llorona, the crying woman.
It's hard to tell sometimes, to tell people this, that La Llorona is just a story. But when you are growing up in the environment I grew up in, she was real. She still is, because I keep writing about her. La Llorona is the most prevalent story in this area -- every Mexican American has heard of La Llorona. This is the woman that is driven to kill her children. Usually she drowns them. The basic story goes that she fell in love with a man or a prince or a rich guy, and she has a baby. And then the rich guy goes away and abandons her, and in a rage, a fit of revenge or rage, she takes it out on the child and drowns the child. When I was growing up, these stories were told. And [the story is] used to keep us away from danger. So if our parents would say, "Don't go near the river -- La Llorona will get you," what they are really saying is, "There's danger," you know, "you can fall in, don't stay out too late at night."
I can't tell you how much time I spent along the river. And the river has these towering cottonwood trees, so you could get lost. It's like a jungle. And there are deer and birds and raccoons and snakes, so it's like living in nature, in the soul of nature. And La Llorona lives there, because you find yourself down there alone late in the evening and you begin to hear sounds, and then you begin to hear La Llorona. And then you see her, which I did many times -- and then I had to run home. When I was writing, that's the La Llorona I used in Bless Me, Ultima, that spirit that is looking for her children. She drowned her children and now she's looking for them, and she's liable to get you because she can mistake you as being the child that she drowned. She appears in all of my novels, in all of my work. I wrote a story called The Legend of La Llorona in which I suggest that the reason that she murders her children is because she sees that they are about to be enslaved. They are either to become slaves of the Spaniards, or to be murdered -- they are to be taken back to Spain where they will die. And rather than have that happen to them, she makes the choice of killing them and throwing them in the lake. So this fabulous spiritual character, who is sister and mother and grandmother and spirit from the stories of the past, appears in different versions in my writing.
How did you come up with the image of the golden carp (Bless Me, Ultima)?
The golden carp is a fish that represents so many things -- an image that is a symbol, and that symbol is an archetypal image. It can now touch the archetypal images of all the mythology of the world because we have them in common. That is our common humanity, that we all come from one source and we all have the stories from one source, and we have to discover them in our own place. And that's what I do -- in discovering that spirit of my place -- is open myself up to the people, to the environment, to the stories, and then let it flow through me and work its way into the story. My process of writing is in creating myth that somehow relates to that community. But it's also going to touch base with other mythologies in the world. And that's part of the process. I'm not just doing autobiography; I'm a storyteller, and the storyteller has to compose stories that have meaning for the community. And most of the meaning comes about in mythology, in the myths. And so I become a mythmaker. I create myths.
Information about key references
The curandera is a traditional folk healer who uses herbs, incantations, and/or physical manipulation to heal. The curandera sees no separation between mind and body, and may be consulted for social, spiritual, or physical problems. Ultima is a curandera.
La Llorona
La Llorona, or "the weeping woman," is a legendary figure in Chicano folklore, with roots in pre-Columbian Mexico. She is a ghost who wanders near rivers crying for her children. According to legend, La Llorona drowned her children in a river either because she was crazy, having been jilted by a lover, or because she was preventing them from being colonized and enslaved. Today, many Chicana writers have adopted the legend of La Llorona, breathing new life into her in their creative writing.
La Virgen de Guadalupe
Also known as Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, the Virgin, who appeared to Juan Diego, a 16th-century Christian Indian from Mexico, is considered the symbol of Mexican Catholicism. She is the mother of God, to whom Antonio and his mother pray in the novel.
A bruja or brujo is essentially a witch. Belief in witchcraft has been common in the American Southwest, as evidenced by the large number of folkloric tales about witchcraft in New Mexico and Texas.
In Bless Me, Ultima, Antonio has long and vivid dreams that sometimes reveal his past, and at other times hint at his future.
Suggestions for applying other theories to Bless Me, Ultima
Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima is a rich novel that lends itself well to the inquiry approach taken in the program. Teacher Jorge Arredondo engaged his students initially in open and free response to the novel before jumping into a more complex inquiry. He could also have stayed with reader-response activities. Because many of Arredondo's students share Anaya's cultural heritage, they were able to bring a rich "schema" - or background - to the class. In classes where fewer students are attuned to the author's culture, teachers may choose to offer a brief overview of the author's cultural world.
Teachers can also introduce cultural studies activities that explore myth, ritual, and tradition in rural New Mexico. For example, they can have students research collections of folktales or read about folk culture. They can study the influence of Native American, Spanish, and European-American traditions as they blend to produce certain ritual celebrations such as Dios de los Muertos, Dia de los Reyes, or other holidays.
Critical issues worth exploring in the novel might include the effect of war on family and communities, the tension between Catholicism and other belief systems, or the sociocultural development of young children. After further reading and conversation, students might engage in some form of anti-war activism, such as educating other students, teachers, or parents about the effects of war they have read about, especially as they pertain to young children.

Honey for peace in Darfur
South Darfur is known as a troubled region beset by years of endemic conflict, poverty, destruction of natural resources, and deterioration of livelihoods. However, the land is also a dynamic region that defies its popular conception as intractably and inevitably conflict-ridden. Recently, new projects being implemented by the UNDP Darfur Livelihoods Recovery Programme are slowly but surely changing that view.
Although there are no natural honeybee populations in South Darfur, today beekeeping has become a viable means of economic enhancement for many farming families. The honey produced in South Darfur is particularly favored by an increasingly wide base of national and regional markets. Beekeeping has become a profitable activity undertaken by farmers and especially vulnerable groups including youth, internally displaced populations, ex-combatants and women.
The honey value chain project, which started in May 2011 and is currently being undertaken in Kubum, South Darfur, is part of a bold set of initiatives laid out by UNDP's Darfur Livelihoods Recovery Programme. The project, implemented in partnership with local NGO, Rehed el Fursan Development Network (RDN) works with different stakeholders, especially farmers, to identify a suitable structure to introduce essential training and methodology. Trainings delivered have focused on how to inspect and manage bee hives sustainably and how to improve handling and quality of the honey produced.
A start-up grant of one thousand traditional beehives was provided to the beekeepers' associations. The hives were distributed to clusters of beekeepers, who in turn share collective responsibility of the hives throughout the stages of manufacturing, production, and harvest. This cluster management not only fosters collective production and marketing but also encourages community ownership and builds trust amongst the people.
Progress has been remarkable. The number of members in beekeeping associations has risen from nearly 60 in May 2011 to 1050 in March 2012, which shows just how strong the interest and commitment is amongst the community. It is estimated that five thousand families currently benefit from the project.
In an isolated community like Kubum, the use and availability of local materials to make traditional hives has helped and encouraged villagers to get involved in the beekeeping business thus providing them with an additional income.
Today the project holds a regular fair in Kubum to welcome new farmers to techniques and management of beekeeping. The fairs provide a vital opportunity to promote an enabling business environment to market and exchange ideas and experiences amongst local producers. A planned mission in September 2012 will see a group of producers led by the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources participate in the ApiExpo Africa International Beekeeping Event in Addis Ababa to share their unique experiences.
The case of the Kubum beekeeping producers in South Darfur is a prime example of how appropriate technology and adapted interventions carried out together with national and local partners can generate help, decrease poverty, encourage micro-entrepreneurship and foster the rebuilding of relations between communities even in the most unlikely places. For the beekeepers of Kubum and their families and friends, their new livelihoods never tasted so sweet.
This project has been made possible through the generous support of the Government of Switzerland and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA).

All-in-one: Making the most of minimal
ADDRESS: 105 Perry Street
NEIGHBORHOOD: Downtown
SIZE: 1,013 finished square feet
LAND: .23 acres
CURB APPEAL: 8 out of 10
LISTED BY: Loring Woodriff of McLean Faulconer, Inc., 295-1131
I've always been a fan of Swiss Army knives– since long before Leatherman put an American twist on the concept– mainly because they pack so much utility into such a small package. This house is a 1950s version of the traditional folk cottage brought to the colonies from Europe, and the current owners have maximized the utility of this small package with modernist updates.
This modest single-story, side-gabled cottage has only six rooms– two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, and one full bath. But the owners have made it feel spacious and comfortable for two adults and two small children by using good design sense.
The vertical beadboard paneling of the living room/dining room– which probably started off as dark knotty pine– has been painted white, and that, combined with light colors everywhere else, contributes to the feeling of spaciousness. Even the dark-stained pine floors– a nice contrast to the white walls in most of the rooms– are painted white in one bedroom.
The traditional double-hung six-over-six windows have no window dressings, maximizing the natural light streaming into the house, adding to the sense of spaciousness, and improving cross ventilation.
The house has only three small closets – one in each bedroom and one for linens, all with built-in shelves and drawers. But the floored attic running the full length of the pitched roof, with about five feet of headroom in the middle, provides plenty of storage space. Sturdy built-in stairs on the pull-down hatch entrance. and good lighting are also plusses.
A corner of the full-height basement contains the utilities: water heater, furnace, washer and dryer, central-AC air handler, small workbench area, and fuse panel. Though most of the appliances and mechanical systems are reasonably new, the electrical system was antiquated when it was installed in 1950, and, along with a tired air conditioner compressor just outside, it would benefit from replacement.
The small three-columned entry porch opens onto the living room/dining room/kitchen area. Space maximizing and good design continue here. The blond-wood countertop serves as a color divider between the black cabinets below and the white cabinets and walls above, with a backsplash of white and black tiles. These colors are complemented by the stainless steel refrigerator, commercial range, and dishwasher.
Adding to the charm of the kitchen is a large window above the sink illuminated by a low-voltage halogen light. Pans hang directly from the one section of wall with no cabinets. A section of glass-front upper cabinets with a dark wood finish looks tacked up after the fact, incompatible with the other kitchen finishes. New owners might want to replace them with white cabinets to match the rest of the kitchen.
The bathroom also makes use of white and black tiles– this time complemented by a red wall– but two antique-style wall sconces on either side of the modern stainless steel-edged vanity mirror don't quite click with the rest of the aesthetic.
One of the two bedrooms has a cool custom paint job– widely spaced vertical stripes in varying shades of light greens and blues over a white background. This is the room (along with the adjoining small hall) with the white floor. As with most things in the house, this unexpected element works well.
The steep lot has two retaining walls, one in front of the house and one behind it, and the slope is not conducive to a grass yard. Instead, the lot is attractively landscaped with shrubs, bushes, ornamental grasses, flowers, vines, and several exotic trees, including a Norway spruce and a Japanese maple. A weathered and crooked old arborvitae, only three feet tall, grows right next to the front steps.
A small shed behind the house provides some additional storage and workspace, but the wooden landings and steps leading to the shed have fallen into disrepair and need a major rebuild. A spacious concrete back patio has been surfaced with faux stone, and ivy is beginning to trail on the retaining wall and the small pergola, creating an inviting setting for al fresco soirees in nice weather.
The house is well situated within walking distance of the Downtown Mall, and from inside only mild traffic noise from McIntire Road is audible. The design decisions of the current owners have truly made this a Leatherman of a cottage.

Healthcare and health IT are plagued by conundrums. Providers long have been the ones asked to make hefty investments in EMRs and other IT systems to help remove costs from the healthcare system, but payers and plan sponsors tend to enjoy most of the financial benefits. Clinicians wish their organizations would share data with others, but those in the executive suite have been reluctant to cooperate with competitors for fear of losing revenue. And, let's face it, medical errors can be profitable if a routine procedure turns into an expensive inpatient admission.
Portions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are intended to address these problems by providing financial incentives for "meaningful use" of EMRs (including health information exchange) and by encouraging the creation of Accountable Care Organizations
I'm just back from the Institute for Health Technology Transformation health IT summit in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where I moderated panels on how health IT underpins ACOs and how business intelligence can create a framework for health information exchange.
The panelists did great job of articulating some of these conundrums and strategies to overcome them, but none better than Kevin Maher, director of clinical innovations for Horizon Healthcare Innovations, a new affiliate of Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey tasked with testing new care models, and Victor Freeman, M.D., quality director in the Health Resources and Services Administration's Office of Health IT and Quality.
The patient-centered medical home is a great idea for managing care, promoting prevention and, ultimately reducing costs. "We view the base of the ACO as the patient-centered medical home," Maher said. But what exactly does an ACO look like? "An ACO is like a unicorn," Maher said. "We can all describe it, but we've never seen one."
He noted that Horizon has started paying some physicians a care coordination fee to manage populations that potentially could add $60,000 or more to a doctor's annual income. But there are plenty of factors outside a physicians' control.
"Potentially the No. 1 focal point of a patient-centered medical home or an ACO is patient behavior," Maher said. A doctor can't force a patient to exercise more, quit smoking or get a mammogram or PSA test. There's pay-for-performance for doctors, but what about paying for patient performance?
In January 2012, Horizon will launch a pilot to offer incentives to members who get recommended tests and choose providers that meet the health plan's quality standards. That's right, the Blues plan in New Jersey will pay people to go to the doctor and to make informed choices about which doctors they see. ("Everyone says she's a great doctor" won't cut it as an informed choice anymore.)
Freeman called the Horizon experiment "P4P that makes sense."
Let's just hope the technology can support making the right choices. "People in government get more involved in quality measurement, not necessarily quality," Freeman said. Incentive programs these days still tend to be more pay-for-reporting than pay-for-quality, and the technology hasn't fully matured in that area.
"EMRs were designed for billing, not quality reporting," noted Freeman, who has a background in public and population health. Information often isn't stored in discrete form, such as with images generated by specialists flagged as being abnormal, so even with HIE, it's hard for primary care physicians to identify patients who might be candidates for early interventions before they actually exhibit symptoms of a disease.
"My biggest interest in HIE is how clinicians communicate with each other," Freeman said.
But is the technology ready to help them do so? "HIE now reminds me of what EMRs were five years ago," said another panelist, Bruce Metz, Ph.D., newly hired senior VP and CIO at the Lahey Clinic in Massachusetts. It's viewed as an IT project that's not necessarily linked to a business or clinical strategy. "You can't force the technology to mature that fast," he added.
And so the ride continues on what Metz called "a fast-moving train." Have we even had time to see if the right people are on board?

OCC Bulletin 2004-38| August 25, 2004
12 CFR 229 (Regulation CC) - Availability of Funds and Collection of Checks: Final Rule Implementing Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act
Chief Executive Officers and Compliance Officers of All National Banks, Federal Branches and Agencies, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
On July 26, 2004, the Federal Reserve Board (Board) released final amendments to Regulation CC and its commentary to implement the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21 Act), which was enacted on October 28, 2003, and becomes effective on October 28, 2004. The amendments were published as a final rule in the Federal Register on August 4, 2004.
These amendments set forth the requirements of the Check 21 Act that apply to banks, a model consumer awareness disclosure and other model notices, and indorsement and identification requirements for substitute checks. The final amendments also clarify some existing provisions of the rule and commentary.
To facilitate check truncation and electronic check exchange, the Check 21 Act authorizes a new negotiable instrument called a "substitute check." A substitute check is a paper reproduction of the original check that contains an image of the front and back of the original check and can be processed just like the original check. The Check 21 Act provides that a properly prepared substitute check is the legal equivalent of the original check for all purposes. The Check 21 Act does not require any bank to create substitute checks or to accept checks electronically. It includes new warranties, an indemnity, and expedited recredit procedures that protect substitute check recipients.
Banks should note that even if they choose not to create substitute checks, they will be subject to new disclosure requirements if they provide paid checks to consumer customers with periodic account statements or if they otherwise provide substitute checks to a consumer customer. This notice must state that a substitute check is the legal equivalent of the original check and describe the recredit rights that apply when a consumer believes a substitute check was not properly charged to their account. Banks must provide this disclosure to consumer customers who receive paid original or paid substitute checks in their periodic statements no later than the bank's first regularly scheduled communication after October 28, 2004. For new customers after that date, the notice must be provided when a customer relationship begins. Additionally, the disclosure must be provided each time a consumer receives a substitute check in response to requests for an original check or a copy of a check or when a substitute check is given as a returned item.
The amendments to Regulation CC contain model language that banks should consider in developing their customer disclosures. Use of the model language for the Substitute Check Policy Disclosure constitutes compliance with the disclosure requirements so long as the information disclosed accurately describes the bank's policies and practices.
While not required by the final rule, banks may want to take this opportunity to advise customers that the Check 21 Act and other changes in the payments systems are likely to cause customer checks to clear more rapidly than previously and, thereby, reduce customer check "float."
This rule is effective on October 28, 2004, except for model form C-5A in Appendix C, which is effective immediately, and paragraph (4) of Appendix D, which is effective on January 1, 2006.
Questions may be directed to your OCC supervisory office or the Compliance Division at (202) 649-5470.

Topics/Themes for Project Work on Disaster Management CLASS X
Do any one of the following:-
PROJECT 1: Role of Govt./Non-Government functionaries in your locality in Disaster Management.
Interview any two of the Govt. /Non-Government functionaries in your locality on their role in Disaster Management.
Senior District Magistrate
Additional District Magistrate
Head of any NGO working in your locality – dealing in Disaster Management
Police inspector, Superintendent of Police
Civil Defence Warden/elected representatives
Home guard personnel
NCC Commandant in the school
Deputy Commissioner of Municipality
School Principal
Carry out a survey by enquiring from at least 20 persons from different walks of life (such as shopkeepers, housewives, senior citizens, college students, etc.) in your locality on the hazards prevalent, and preventive measures they have taken or would like to take to reduce the impact.
Prepare a Survey report highlighting the areas where awareness is needed and the local resources available in the locality to create awareness.
(Note for Teachers: The teachers can select any two of the functionaries based on their availability in that city/town. This topic can be taken up individually by students or by a group consisting of two students. In case of group work where two students are involved, work should be divided equally so that distribution of marks is easier).
PROJECT 2: Generating Awareness on Disaster Management
Design a 10 minute skit on Disaster Management.
Design posters on do's and don'ts of various hazards prevalent in that area.
Visit a slum community and enact the skit by using the posters. The Skit and the posters can also be used to make the junior students aware.
(Note for the Teachers: Better awareness and preparedness amongst the community members have saved a lot of life and property. As responsible future citizens of the country, students can play a major role in awaring the community to be better prepared for natural hazards (flood, cyclone, landslide, tsunami etc) and human induced hazards (fire, rail road and air accidents ). Local language should be used so that the community is able to have a better understanding. The Principal along with the teachers can help the students in organizing a meeting with the local slum community).
PROJECT 3: Preparation of Models of Disaster Resilient Structures
Make layouts of models based on structural improvement in buildings in a rural/ urban community in coastal areas prone to floods/cyclones or in areas prone to earthquakes/landslides. Show the special features of the buildings and indicate the early warning system that could be best used in that community.
(Note for Teachers: To carry out the project, there is a need to have a good understanding about the subject. The class X textbook on Disaster Management will help the teachers and the students to have a fair understanding about the topic. However, the school also needs to seek support from qualified engineers, and architects who have knowledge on safe construction practices from either the Government or private sector and also from academic institutions. Qualified engineers and architects can be invited by the principal of the school for lectures and also to suggest methods of carrying out the models. For assessing the project carried out by the school, these qualified persons may also be invited.)
PROJECT 4: Pocket Guide on First Aid
Prepare a pocket guide on First Aid for your school. The First Aid pocket guide should contain aid that needs to be given for fractures, poisoning, cuts and burns, heat and cold wave and other threats that are prevalent in that area. The content shared in the guide should be supported with adequate pictures so as to give a clear and elaborate understanding about the topic. Choose awareness campaign strategy for either senior citizens or illiterate people and prepare a brief write-up.
(Note for the Teachers: The project can be carried out by a group of students in a class and work can be equally divided amongst the students so that the teachers are able to evaluate them easily. Doctors, local health practitioners, trained volunteers of Red Cross and professionals from other agencies/bodies/institutes, proficient in this field can be consulted to prepare the first-aid pocket guide. This guide can be printed by the school administration and shared with all the students, teachers and other staff members of the school. It can be used as a ready reckoner for any First Aid related information.
PROJECT 5: Institutional Case Study on Disaster Response
Visit a local NGO/agency such as the United Nations, Red Cross/ Voluntary Youth Organisations like Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS), National Cadet Corp (NCC), Bharat Scouts and Guides etc; and prepare a case study on how the agencies played a major role in Disaster Response.
(Note for the Teachers: The teachers may select the organisation/agency that they would like the students to be associated with. It can be mentioned here that each district in India has a Red Cross wing headed by the District Magistrate/Collector/Dy. Commissioner. The students before analysing the role played by various agencies can give a brief background of the organisation/agency on its mandate, objectives and goals and role during disasters).
PROJECT 6: Communication facilities for Disaster Management
Choose any one method of communication from various means of communication like radio/satellite/television/ Ham radio which are used by Government departments such as the Indian Meteorological Department to disseminate information. Find out how the information is disseminated by them at various levels during disasters. Prepare a report.
(Note for the Teachers: The students can visit the government departments such as the All India Radio, Doordarshan etc. Principals are expected to issue a letter to the concerned Government Department so as to inform the department that the information collected will be solely for project purpose. Case studies can also be collected to make the project more interesting).
PROJECT 7: Preparation of Disaster Contingency Plan
Prepare a Contingency Plan either for your school or home/community.. The Plan should be based on an actual survey of your area/locality or school. The Plan prepared should consist of the following maps, inventory of resources available and a seasonality calendar highlighting the seasons prone to various hazards prevalent in that locality/school.
- A social map
- A Resource map
- A Vulnerability map on the outline map of your locality
(Note for the Teachers: The teachers need to help the students while preparing the plan for the locality/school. It should answer the questions given under the sub-heading 'community contingency plan' in the lesson, called 'Planning Ahead' of Class X Disaster Management textbook.

dhkao216 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 226 diseños de 39 diseñadores freelance.
Dear All:
Our company is starting a Men's Upscale Boutique Store and we're look for creative minds to come up with a logo and design that looks upscale, clean, unique, and definitive.
**Please read the brief for details and guidelines**
Aegis Co-op
Intro & Meaning:
First and foremost our company's name Aegis represents a mythological shield that dates back to the Greek and roman mythology.
Company Products:
Our store will mainly be selling casual-luxury men's footwear (not dress shoes) as well as accessories (scarfs, ties, jewelry, etc) and in the near future clothing. Please keep in mind that we want the logo to look sophisticated, clean, unique, and definitive.
Several things the logo should contain:
-Keep in mind logo needs to be relatively simple enough that it looks good very small as well as large, and easy to work with on different media, including web and signage
-Shield for the main logo 2-D or 3-D (Shapes can be circular/ Oval, Classic, or custom shield **preferrably custom design**)
-Color Sheme should remain along the lines of gold, black, white, grayscale, or etched texture
-Aegis Co-op word font could be in either Large CAP or small lettering and the dash in the word Co-op doesn't have to remain a dash.
-In the Shield itself, you could create a fitting mythological animal, play with the words Aegis (or use design/acronym to be creative) or create a unique design that flows well with the shield
-Aegis Co-op word font itself is very important and needs to stay simple and clean
-Try to be creative because I have no real restrictions other than the logo needing to be shield oriented. Everything else should be fair game unless it is too out of the guideline boundaries.
Several example companies that are inspiring:
http://www.dita.com <--slightly too simple with a plain D in the middle
http://www.versace.com <--try and stay away from a medusa head however their design concept is great
http://www.cr8tiverecreation.com/ <-- these are the types of shoes we are selling but eventually will create a limited line of our own brand so the logo has to be classy and unique.
-Try to be creative because I have not real restrictions other than the logo needing to be shield oriented. Everything else should be fair game unless it is too out of the guideline boundaries.
-Have fun with the contest and try not to limit yourself through my initial guidelines. After a couple days it will be easier to point you towards the direction I'm looking for.

Hynix Semiconductor has announced Intel validation of 2Gb DDR3 DRAM chips using 40nm-class process technology. The chipmaker said it has begun mass producing the new chips, and expects the validation of RDIMMs to also be completed within before year's end.
Hynix's newly-validated products are 2Gb DDR3 SDRAM component, 4GB DDR3 SO-DIMM and 2GB DDR3 unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM) with and operating speed of 1333MHz with 1.5V power supply, according to the company. The chips deliver a maximum data transfer speed of 1867MHz with 16-bit I/O and 3.7Gbps bandwidth.
Hynix said the productivity of its 40nm-class 2Gb DDR3 is increased by more than 60% over 50nm-class process technology.
In addition, Hynix noted its new 40nm-class 2Gb DDR3 chips reduce power consumption by 40% over the preceding products using 50nm class, about twice the industry average of reduction in terms of power consumption.
"The current mainstream density has been rapidly transferring from 1Gb to 2Gb for the higher performance servers market. We expect to secure the industry's best features of both 1Gb and 2Gb DDR3 products", said JB Kim, CMO of Hynix.

U.S. slams Europe for anti-Muslim laws, hits Egypt over treatment of Christians
From pork rinds sprinkled on Muslim graves in France to a Christian pastor's death sentence for apostasy in Iran, religious minorities were targeted across the globe in 2011, according to a U.S. government report Monday on the state of religious freedom.
The State Department's annual compilation highlighted a few narrow openings in unlikely places – transitional Libya and closed-off Myanmar, for example – but it also criticized some traditional U.S. allies for backsliding when it came to protecting the freedom to worship.
Europe in particular was chided for failing to keep pace with its growing ethnic and religious diversity, with the report saying that the demographic change is sometimes accompanied by "growing xenophobia, anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim sentiment, and intolerance toward people considered 'the other.'"
Belgium and France passed laws restricting dress that "adversely affected Muslims," while Hungary introduced changes making it so difficult to register religious organizations that the number of recognized religious groups plummeted from more than 300 to fewer than 32.
"Members of faith communities that have long been under pressure report that the pressure is rising," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in Washington. "Even some countries that are making progress on expanding political freedom are frozen in place when it comes to religious freedom. So when it comes to this human right, this key feature of stable, secure, peaceful societies, the world is sliding backwards."
Religious freedom also was a fraught subject in the so-called Arab Spring rebellions, the waves of popular protests that unseated four Middle Eastern rulers and plunged the region into a complicated transition ostensibly toward more democratic rule. But many of the uprisings and transitions have taken on sectarian undertones, a trend now evident in the 16-month-old Syrian revolt.
In Syria, the report found, the embattled regime of President Bashar Assad "targeted and destroyed churches and mosques across the country" in the early waves of protests. The investigators blamed the regime for propaganda that painted the protesters as "extreme Islamist factions" and also chided the protesters for conflating regime violence with perceived offenses by the Alawite minority, the sect of Assad and his top cronies.
"This led to an increase of tension, violence and killing between largely Alawite and Sunni communities," the report said. "Some Christians, Druze, and opposition members also suffered at the hands of the regime. As the violence grew, members of minority religious communities were increasingly vulnerable."
In Bahrain, where neighboring Sunni Muslim bulwark Saudi Arabia sent troops to crush a mainly Shiite rebellion, the government arrested and detained protesters, "the vast majority" of them Shiites. The report also noted the destruction of 53 religious structures, mostly Shiite places of worship, in the unrest.
Meanwhile, revolutionary Egypt has "failed to curb rising violence against Coptic Christians," the report found, noting that no government officials were held responsible for an attack on protesters by authorities that left at least 25 people dead and more than 300 injured, most of them Copts.
The surprise bright spot was Libya. The report praised the interim government for doing away with the Moammar Gadhafi-era laws restricting religious freedom and for including the free practice of religion in a draft constitution. In early 2012, the report continued, the Libyan Supreme Court also overturned a law that criminalized "insults against Islam, the state, and religious symbols."
"They're in transitions that are important, but we're looking to them to honor what they said they would do," Suzan Johnson Cook, the U.S. ambassador at large for international religious freedom, said of the Middle East's revolutionaries-turned-rulers.
In Myanmar, which the U.S. administration still refers to as Burma, the government "took steps toward overcoming a longstanding legacy of intense religious oppression," such as easing church construction and permitting adherents of registered religious groups to worship as they chose. However, the report quickly added, the government still closely monitored religious gatherings and refused to recognize the Muslim Rohingya ethnic minority as citizens.
The expansion of blasphemy laws also was a tool of religious repression, particularly in Muslim countries, according to the report. In Pakistan, people who were accused of blasphemy or who publicly criticized blasphemy laws were killed, including the only Christian in the country's Cabinet.
Saudi Arabia used blasphemy laws to convict an Australian Shiite of Iraqi descent; his sentence of 500 lashes and a year in prison was reduced to 75 lashes and no jail time. Indonesia used similar laws to imprison minorities, including a Christian who was sentenced to five years for distributing books deemed "offensive to Islam."
The congressionally mandated report reviews the status of religious freedom in 199 countries and territories. It's available in full at http://www.state.gov/j/drl/rls/irf/religiousfreedom/index.htm.
