"The Gnomestead Stump" was my old blog that I kept as an online publication where I tried to publish an article a day. The articles were of an editorial nature on a broad variety of subjects.
I kept that up for at least a third of a year until untoward circumstances kept me from keeping up that schedule. (I had built up a selection of articles so that if I couldn't write for a few days I had material to publish in the gaps.)
I haven't written in it for a while, but I wouldn't mind having a website for publishing editorial articles again even if not daily ones. The question is, do I just continue in "The Gnomestead Stump", or do I create a new blog for editorial articles? If I do, do I do it on my dwpenner.ca domain which is my writing domain or here on gnomestea.com? Actually a larger question, do I copy over my articles from "The Gnomestead Stump"?
Actually the biggest question is whether to create a new blog on my dwpenner.ca domain, what to call it and whether to transfer the old posts. Tentatively it still could be The Gnomestead Stump and be gnomestead-stump.dwpenner.ca or it could be gnomestead-stump.gnomestead.com …actually to confuse matters I could have one of them forward to the other.
Decisions, decisions… I do want to get into writing more regularly and I think I would prefer to writing my own column and just sharing it onto Facebook rather than just straight making status entries on Facebook.

Library participates in Edge Initiative
The Neuse Regional Library is participating in the soft launch of the Edge Initiative to align its digital and technology services with community priorities. Edge provides new strategies and tools to help libraries advocate for public access technology services that benefit their communities.
�We are honored to be among the first to apply this leadership tool to assess and ultimately strengthen the technology services our libraries provide,� said Agnes W. Ho, director of libraries. �Our library helps meet the technology needs and interests of our community members, and the Edge Initiative will help us ensure our residents have access to enhanced digital and technology services.�
The driving force behind the Edge Initiative is a set of benchmarks that libraries use to assess their public access technology. The Edge Benchmarks Version 1.0 is available at libraryedge.org, and the complete assessment and toolkit will be available to libraries nationwide in January 2014.
Edge empowers library leaders to elevate their strategic planning, shape the story of the library and communicate its value in supporting community goals and initiatives around education, health, economic development and more.
Seven state library agencies are participating in the soft launch, which began this summer: California, Connecticut, Illinois, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas.
The Edge Coalition is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and led by the Urban Libraries Council, a national coalition of 13 organizations collaborating to help public libraries provide all people with the opportunity to enrich and improve their lives through open access to information, communication and technology services.

There are only nine. With a twelve-note system, you could use all but one vowel. And apparantly, o and u do not conflict in toki pona. That is, if you were to put a u instead of an o in any word, you would not get an actual word.

NEW YORK — A suspected sex offender recently featured on CNN's "The Hunt" with John Walsh was killed Monday in Manhattan while police were attempting to arrest him on child molestation charges, according to two New York City law enforcement sources.
Two U.S. marshals and a New York City police officer were also wounded during the attempted arrest, a law enforcement official said.
Charles Mozdir, 32, had been sought by authorities since June 2012.
Walsh told CNN that after the episode that featured Mozdir aired, authorities received a tip that he was working at a restaurant in Manhattan, but the information didn't pan out. After CNN re-aired Mozdir's episode Sunday night, another tip came in that resulted in an address for Mozdir, according to Walsh.
The shooting occurred in an apartment in Manhattan's West Village. Police are currently canvassing the area for video, according to a New York City law enforcement source.
The wounded officers — all of whom were part of a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force — were transported to Bellevue Hospital, New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said their injuries appear to be non-life-threatening.
Mozdir was arrested in California in 2012 after the young son of two close friends told his parents that Mozdir had touched his private parts. Mozdir was at their house helping care for the now 7-year-old son, who was ill with a high fever.
His parents, who requested their names not be used, immediately went to police.
Investigators in Coronado, California, executed a search warrant on Mozdir's house and found evidence of child pornography and bestiality on his cell phone and computers, according to U.S. Marshals Service deputy Brian Grimes.
Mozdir was arrested four days after the incident and booked into the San Diego County jail before posting bail the next day. The district attorney told the couple that Mozdir had been accused in another child assault case when he was babysitting a young boy, who told his mother. On June 15, 2012, Mozdir failed to appear at his arraignment.
Charges were immediately filed and arrest warrants were issued. Grimes said investigators believe he took all his money and fled. Mozdir indicated he was considering going to Mexico or Japan during one of his last phone calls. His roommate told police that Mozdir had two guns and had threatened to kill himself and kill a victim's father.
The Coronado Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service searched for Mozdir in Georgia and California, as well as the Mexican state of Baja California. On June 20, 2012, Coronado police found Mozdir's abandoned vehicle hidden in the brush outside the coastal Georgia town of Darien. The license plate had been ripped off and there was an extra gas tank inside. A bloodhound picked up Mozdir's scent near U.S. Highway 17.

Finding myself conserving suggested edit votes to reject edits, would it make sense to have a higher reject quota than approve quota? Or, balance quotas such as 10-approve and 10-reject.
Or, would that make those who blindly blanket serial approve simply blindly reject?
Pro community moderation, it seems there is currently an epidemic of senseless edit approvals.

A MAN caught again selling crack cocaine to an undercover police officer has walked free from court after a judge told him it may be harder than going to jail.
Recorder Nicholas Atkinson QC told dealer Justin Collier, who has 124 previous convictions: "In some ways it may be easier if you just go straight to prison today."
Instead he put the 42-year-old on a suspended sentence and told him to do another drug rehabilitation requirement having received a similar order 18 months ago. Collier, who goes by the street name of Jutty, was caught in a covert operation targeting town centre dealers.
Tessa Hingston, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court how the deal took place in September last year. Collier, of Stonefield Close, Eastleaze, pleaded guilty to the supply of class A drugs.
The court heard he had 124 previous convictions and was jailed for four years in 2006 for supplying and offering to supply drugs.
Passing sentence Recorder Nicholas Atkinson QC said: "The only appropriate sentence is one of imprisonment but considering the contents of the report that is before me and what has been said on your behalf by your barrister I am satisfied that it is not a sentence you will start today. I take the view that the sentence given a plea of guilty becomes one of two years imprisonment."
He told him his would be under supervision for 18 months and must complete a six month drug rehabilitation requirement.

No matter where you drive in this megalopolis, it's hard to miss Juarez Street. That's because there are 632 of them. Hidalgo Street is almost as ubiquitous, with 624 incarnations. At least 500 streets are named Zapata.
But you can also find Sea of Tranquillity and Good Luck or, if those fail, Tequila. There's a street called Disneyland and lots of Progress all over Mexico City's sprawling traffic grid, if only lurching movement.
Among the few traffic-related charms of the car-choked capital city are the names of its 32,000 streets -- 73,000 if you count the surrounding metropolitan area. Peruse the most popular street atlas here and you'll encounter history and whimsy, the fanciful, the soaring and the clunky (Metallurgical Resources lands like lead, even in Spanish).
Many street names follow a theme, lending symbolic cohesion to neighborhoods. Streets in the wealthy Polanco section, for example, carry the names of famed men of thought and letters: Virgil,
A parched swath not far from the airport, itself named after Benito Juarez, is awash in great seas, at least on paper. Here, you can lounge next to the Pacific Ocean, Red Sea and Gulf of Finland on the same day. Other neighborhoods are sprinkled with virgins, lakes, volcanoes, flowers.
Baghdad has a street.
In an ever-spreading city, where as many as 1,200 streets are christened each year, it is not easy to avoid repetition, even with the help of botany books. That can complicate the job of navigating the place.
Want to flummox a taxi driver? Ask for
"Once I asked a taxi driver to take me to Cerrada Hidalgo and he took me to the Hidalgo metro station," said Alix Colin Becerril, who lives on a tiny, dead-end street named Hidalgo in the Hidalgo neighborhood, just a few blocks from the edge of a municipal borough called, you guessed it, Miguel Hidalgo.
But Colin, 23, who works in an ice cream shop, said she's pleased to have her street named after an icon of Mexican history. Hidalgo is known for letting loose the cry for independence that launched the uprising against Spain in 1810 before his capture and death a year later.
"That your street has the name of a leader who represents some of our heritage -- that's good," she said.
Not everyone is pleased to have a name from history attached to their street.
Last year, the Mexico City assembly ordered municipal officials to strip the name of former President Luis Echeverria from city streets because of what leftist members said was his role in the infamous 1968 police crackdown against student protesters when Echeverria was interior minister, and in the government's "dirty war" against left-wing activists while president in the 1970s.
So far, though, authorities haven't begun to erase Echeverria's name from the 16 streets that carry it because they are waiting for officials in the affected boroughs to weigh in with alternatives.
"If they removed the name of everyone who had a problem in his past, the capital wouldn't have the name of any official," groused
Guidelines for naming Mexico City's streets, adopted along with the formal creation of an official Nomenclature Commission in 1998, permit the use of proper names.
Many evoke Mexico's dearly held past, such as Juarez, the 19th century president often compared to
Municipal officials have taken note that famous lakes or mountain ranges can be a safer bet than people.
"Proper names that have to do with geography have less political baggage," said Jesus Velazquez Angulo, who directs a 27-member staff that dreams up street names and installs the signs. "It allows us to reach consensus that gives social recognition to the names."
It's not always so smooth, however.
Last year, Velazquez recalled, district officials worked up a naming scheme for a neighborhood that had just been granted official recognition. The streets were to be named for lakes. But when city workers showed up with the signs, residents rebelled, demanding to keep the names they had been using.
In the end, Mexico City officials relented. The signs were taken down. Replacement signs, white with black letters, went up: the newest street names in Mexico City.
Among them, perhaps inevitably, are Juarez and Hidalgo.

To those whose impression of Towson is stuck in its days as the capital of white belts and white shoes, the idea that it could be to Baltimore what Bethesda is to Washington probably sounds hilarious. But the announcement Wednesday that developers plan a $300 million, 5-acre complex of offices, apartments, retail, restaurants and a hotel at downtown Towson's southern edge may finally push the community beyond the tipping point between its past as a sleepy county seat and the urban future that boosters have been promising for years.
The Towson Row project planned by Caves Valley Partners is hardly the first major investment in downtown Towson in recent years, nor will it be the last. The area has seen a flurry of new residential projects, including the high-rise Palisades apartment building and a planned apartment complex in what is known as the Towson Triangle. The long-awaited Towson Square development on Joppa Road just east of the traffic circle is now under construction and will bring a multiplex and several restaurants. And the long-shuttered Investment Building — whose name became increasingly inapt after an outbreak of Legionnaire's disease there more than a decade ago — has been completely gutted and rebuilt as Towson City Center. In all, County Executive Kevin Kamenetz says that some $600 million in private development has come to the county seat in the last three years.
In that context, the Towson Row project provides some missing pieces that could help make the area a self-contained, walkable community. It promises to bring student housing into the heart of downtown Towson — something the community has resisted before — along with other apartments, an extended-stay hotel, a grocery store and other amenities that will make it more attractive for empty-nesters. If all goes according to plan, the development now under way will create an environment where people can live, work, run errands and find entertainment without getting into a car, and that makes the comparisons to places like Bethesda and Harbor East apt.
Even so, the Towson community hasn't completely warmed to Baltimore's Bethesda idea — Mr. Kamenetz joked at an event Wednesday night that he had been ordered to stop using the "B-word" — largely out of a concern that the transformation under way may turn out to be too much, too fast. The thinking is that Bethesda, with access to the Washington Metro, can handle a degree of urbanization that traffic-clogged Towson cannot. Indeed, it may soon be possible to live a car-free, urban existence in Towson, but that doesn't mean that most people who move there will choose it.
That's why it's crucial that County Councilman David Marks, a Republican who represents the area and who previously worked in the federal and state transportation departments, succeed in his efforts to improve public transportation, biking and pedestrian options. Mr. Marks is working with members of the county's legislative delegation to build support for a neighborhood circulator bus system that would, ideally, connect Towson University and the residential neighborhoods to the south with the downtown, and the senior high rises to the east with downtown and the hospitals to the south and west. The Maryland Transit Administration studied the idea in 2005 but found insufficient economic activity in downtown Towson to support such a service. That calculation should be very different today. It probably also doesn't hurt that Maryland's new transportation secretary, James T. Smith Jr., supported the idea of a more urban Towson when he was Baltimore County executive.
Mr. Marks has already introduced legislation to require new construction in Towson to include bicycle parking — a first for the county — and a resolution asking the county's Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee to study the feasibility of a bike-sharing program in Towson. Both are excellent ideas. The move of student housing into Towson's core has the potential to reduce traffic (and other issues) now created by university students driving from farther-flung apartment complexes and residential neighborhoods onto campus — but only if the environment is conducive to car-free living.
Mr. Kamenetz has aggressively promoted the development of Towson as Baltimore County's downtown, and he has taken steps to try to minimize any problems that may come about as a result. He has committed more police officers to the area and is working with business owners to prevent the kind of unruly crowds that have sometimes made Towson an unappealing destination for families and older adults in the past. He is also supportive of the circulator idea.
Regardless, there will no doubt be some who will resist development on this scale. But they need to consider what is to be gained: a boost to the county's tax base, investment that shores up an inside-the-Beltway community, new options for living and entertainment, and development that doesn't pave over farmland. It is the very definition of smart growth.

The eight Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs, originated from the United Nation's Millennium Declaration emphasising the right of every individual to dignity, freedom, equality, a basic standard of living, including freedom from hunger and violence, and encouraging tolerance and solidarity.
When these goals were adopted during the Millennium Summit in 2000, all the United Nations member states agreed to achieve these by the end of 2015. However, with the deadline inching closer as every month passes, there is still much remaining to be done to universally achieve the goals.
An important outcome of the Rio+20 Earth Summit, has been an agreement on a new set of goals to succeed the MDGs post-2015. But there is still some debate on the nature of these goals, which are now being referred to as the Sustainable Development Goals.

So I drew this pony live yesterday and come to find out my whole family loved the way it came out and suggested that I make a tutorial out of it. So after considering their idea, I decided that it would probably make a cool tutorial if I uploaded it on the site. So here is my very own creation of "how to draw an Alien Pony", step by step. It's funny how the end results turned out because it looks like it could totally be in a movie as a mutant horse that was infected by a Xenomorph. The head, white teeth, body and tail all scream evil, darkness, and despair. I really hope that you enjoy this very odd, but very entertaining lesson on drawing an Alien pony. I shall return, so stay here, or beware.

Yackira, president and CEO of Las Vegas, Nev.-based NV Energy, today was elected chairman of the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), the national association of shareholder-owned electric companies, international affiliates and industry associates worldwide. The announcement was made during EEI's annual meeting here. The Institute's chairmanship rotates on an annual basis.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Harvard men's soccer team fell in the Ancient Eight opener, dropping a road game at Yale, 1-0, Saturday evening. Austin Harms made one save in net for the Crimson, while Brian Rogers led Harvard with six shots.
The Crimson falls to 0-1 in the Ivy League and 2-6-1 overall, while the Bulldogs move to 1-0 in conference action and 5-4-1 overall.
The Bulldogs scored on the first shot on target of the game, as Chris Dennen beat Harms at 13:17 of the first half. Marcus DiLallo made a long throw toward the front of the net, and Peter Jacobson headed the ball to Dennen. Dennen sent another header into the back of the net, giving Yale a 1-0 edge.
Harvard nearly tied it in the 15th minute when Zack Wolfenzon gained possession of a loose ball off a deflection from a Yale defender and sent a quick shot on net. Yale goalkeeper Bobby Thalman dove and made the stop. Harvard's Brian Rogers also had two shots on net later in the frame, but Thalman was there to record saves on both chances.
Through one, Yale had in edge on the scoreboard, 1-0, but the Crimson outshot the Elis, 8-6, after the first 45 minutes. Harvard earned both corner kicks in the stanza, while the Bulldogs were called offside on six occasions.
In the 61st minute, Wolfenzon earned another scoring chance when he turned and drilled a hard shot from 25 yards out, but Thalman batted the ball out of bounds to keep Yale on top. With 13:39 to play, Michael Innocenzi blasted a quick shot at Thalman, but the goalkeeper dove and punched the ball away. With time winding down, Brian Rogers headed a shot on net from about 15 yards out, but the ball bounced once before Thalman grabbed it.
Thalman finished the game with eight saves for Yale, as Harvard outshot the Elis, 19-7, including 11- in the second half. Harvard also earned all five corner kicks in the contest.
The Crimson visits Cornell Saturday, Oct. 8 for an Ivy matchup at 4 p.m.

Technical Resources
Pollinators are crucial to many of the Garden State's agricultural crops and to New Jersey's biodiversity. NRCS in New Jersey encourages farmers and landowners to consider pollinator populations when planning farming operations and land management.
Pollinators need two essential components in their habitat:
Conservation practices such as field borders, cover crops, conservation cover, filter strips, critical area planting, tree/shrub planting and more can provide food (pollen and nectar) and nesting sites for local native pollinators and honey bees. Native plants are the best choices for conservation plantings because plants and their pollinators have evolved together over thousands of years.
Information on pollinator conservation, including which plants to use are provided in the New Jersey Biology Technical Note: Habitat Development for Pollinators.
Payments are available to farmers and landowners through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for implementation of pollinator conservation practices.
Whether you are producing fruits, vegetables, or both, it is beneficial to attract and protect native pollinators. This brochure provides some simple steps you can take to promote pollinator health and habitat and lists NRCS programs and resources available to help you with pollinator conservation and native plant restoration.

Attracting Native Pollinators to Your Farm (905 kb)
CULTIVANDO PARA LOS POLINIZADORES (673 kb) new
As many as two-thirds of the world's crop species depend on insects for pollination, and this may account for 15-30 percent of the food we consume. In the United States one third of all agricultural output depends on pollinators. More than 90 crops in North America depend upon bees for pollination. In New Jersey crops such as apples, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, pumpkins, cucumbers, squash and more depend upon insect pollination. The seeds of many forage crops used by New Jersey livestock producers such as clover and alfalfa require insect pollinators. Pollinators are also important to the function of many terrestrial ecosystems because they enhance native plant reproduction. Native plants provide food and cover for numerous wildlife species, and help stabilize the soil and improve water quality. As a group, pollinators are threatened worldwide by habitat loss and fragmentation, pesticides, disease, and parasites. This has serious economic implications for native ecosystem diversity and stability, for agricultural producers, and for all consumers of agricultural products.

Birds, bats, and insects are essential partners of farmers and ranchers in producing much of our food supply. Maintaining healthy pollinator populations is critical to the continued economic well-being of agricultural producers. Each June we celebrate Pollinator Week in recognition of the importance of pollinator species to agriculture and to forest and grassland environments and other ecosystems.
Odd areas and idle fields on farms can be used to create habitat for pollinators, such as the wildflower meadow pictured here, established near a hedgerow on a Hunterdon County farm.
Through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, NRCS in New Jersey offers landowners technical and financial assistance for restoring habitat for pollinators in the "early successional habitat" provision. Contact your local NRCS Office for more information about these programs.

Angels in America is a 2003 HBO miniseries adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name by Tony Kushner. Kushner adapted his original text for the screen, and Mike Nichols directed. Set in 1985, the film has at its core the story of two couples whose relationships dissolve amidst the backdrop of Reagan era politics, the spreading AIDS epidemic, and a rapidly changing social and political climate. HBO broadcast the film in various formats: two 3-hour chunks that correspond to "Millennium Approaches" and "Perestroika", as well as six 1-hour "chapters" that roughly correspond to an act or two of each of these plays; the first three chapters were initially broadcast on December 7, 2003 to international acclaim, with the final three chapters following. Angels in America was the most-watched made-for-cable film in 2003, garnering much critical acclaim and multiple Golden Globe and Emmy awards, among other numerous accolades. In 2006, Seattle Times listed the series amongst "Best of the filmed AIDS portrayals" on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of AIDS.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving and enter the holiday season, I am reminded of our annual family tradition, one that I imagine is shared by many across the United States. After gathering around the table with our plates piled high with turkey, stuffing and all the trimmings, we take turns sharing what we have been most thankful for during the previous year. The items listed are usually things we've had the good fortune to receive — whether they are material and concrete like a new purchase or relaxing vacation or something more abstract, such as the love of family, the company of friends, or recovery from an illness.
Having just returned from Washington, D.C., for meetings and events related to my volunteer work with the Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth (CFSY), I am rethinking what gives me the greatest satisfaction — and what I am most thankful for. CFSY is a national organization whose goal is to ensure that youth under the age of 18 are never sentenced to prison for the rest of their lives without hope of release. Based on the fundamental physical and emotional differences between youth and adults, CFSY believes that young people convicted of serious crimes should be held accountable for the harm they have caused in a way that reflects their capacity to grow and change. They believe that a just alternative to life in prison without the possibility of parole (JLWOP) is to provide careful periodic reviews to determine whether individuals convicted of crimes as youth continue to pose a threat to the community.
During my visit, I was able to speak with a critical group of supporters of CFSY — parents of children who were murdered by young offenders. These moms and dads, in tears as they told of the loss of their sons and daughters, made it clear that victims and survivors of serious crimes committed by youth endure significant hardship and trauma. They deserve, without question, to be provided with supportive services, and they should be notified about sentencing hearings related to their cases. What I wasn't completely prepared for, however, was the depth of their commitment to ending JLWOP — even for the young offenders who had killed their own children.
For instance, I spoke with Linda White, whose 26-year-old daughter was killed by two 15-year-olds in 1986. In videos produced by CFSY, Linda has explained her perspective this way:
I understood the concept of getting even, but it seemed to me that it wasn't quite what we needed. People can change. One of the two juveniles who killed my daughter is still in prison. One is already paroled and he's a remarkably different person. It will never be about saying to him that it's OK. He knows even better than I do that it will never be OK. But that's not what forgiveness is in an issue like this.
At the CFSY reception that evening, Father Gregory Boyle addressed the group. Father Greg is a Jesuit priest and the founder and executive director of Homeboy Industries, a Los Angeles-based non-profit that provides hope to former gang members by offering them free job training, employment opportunities and supportive services ranging from anger management counseling to tattoo removal procedures. Founded in 1988, Homeboy Industries is now the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the United States, assisting up to 1,000 people in any given month.
Father Greg sees his work as a calling. "I don't save people. God saves people," he has shared in interviews. "I can point them in the right direction. I can say, 'There's that door. I think if you walked through it, you'd be happier than you are.'" When asked how he can get up every day and smile at kids who use drugs, sell drugs, assault and steal, Father Greg has explained, "I would rather stand in awe of the burdens these kids bear than stand in judgment of the way they bear them." In his book, Tattoos on the Heart, he tells the story of a homeless, heroin-addicted teenager named David who felt angry and disappointed with himself. "Look, David," Father Greg told him. "You have to crawl before you can walk, and then walk before you can run." David replied, his eyes filled with tears, "Yeah, but I know I can fly. I just need to catch a gust of wind." For tens of thousands of young people, Homeboy Industries is that gust.
Driving back the next day to my home in North Carolina, I reflected upon the "three Ts" of philanthropy: time, talent, and treasure. I had just spent several days away from my husband and young daughters, putting 600 miles on an already beat-up car, sleeping on a friend's couch, rushing around to meetings in a cold wind, and I realized that I didn't feel depleted by my efforts but energized and inspired. I was struck by the truth underlying the cliché — that one of the greatest gifts is the opportunity to give of ourselves.
During the ride, I happened to catch a radio interview with Kevin Ryan, president of Covenant House International, the largest privately funded agency in the United States and Canada that provides shelter, food and crisis care to homeless kids. When asked how young people become homeless, whether they are runaways or have been thrown out of their homes, Ryan explained that for the vast majority of young people, it's not a choice: "They're young people whose families imploded, could be because of drugs, could be because of poverty. It could be because a parent died. It could be because of abuse and neglect. Most of the young people who walk in the front door at Covenant House have endured very serious abuse."
Ryan spoke of a young person who had endured 35 different foster care placements, and then at age 18, the Texas Child Welfare System "graduated him out the door," ending its services. "There are more than 26,000 young people every year who leave public child welfare systems in the United States to nothing," Ryan explained. "To no family, no guardian, no forever anything. It's just the streets."
The interview concluded with the question of what Covenant House would do if it received unlimited funds from a generous donor. Kevin Ryan replied that he would expand the agency to serve more homeless kids and start health clinics at the locations that lack them. "Any pediatrician who practices with this group would tell you that the disease profile for homeless kids is quite significant and very worrisome. They look like a population that's much older than 18, 19, 20," he said. "If we had unlimited resources, I'd want Covenant House to be a bridge to economic opportunity and healing for all the kids who are out there."
So, when you are approached this holiday season with requests to donate your time, your talent, or your treasure, please remember that the solicitor is actually giving you a gift, rather than the other way around. They are providing you with an opportunity to feel a sense of joy, exuberance and inspiration, for what you will get back is so much more than what you give.
I plan to share these sentiments with my family and friends when we gather for our Thanksgiving meal on Thursday, and I encourage you to do the same. If the adults are distracted and the kids are clamoring for dessert, get their attention the way I did with this column's headline: announce that you have a holiday gift for everyone.
In fact, now it's time for you to open my gift. Please click on the links below, give one of the three Ts, and get ready to be inspired.

A combination of reduced customs duties, profligate spending by the royal family, and government corruption contributed to a stark financial crisis in 2011. Austere economic conditions and the monarchy's continued resistance to political reforms spurred a rash of antigovernment protests in March and April.
Swaziland regained its independence from Britain in 1968, and an elected Parliament was added to the traditional monarchy. In 1973, King Sobhuza II repealed the 1968 constitution, ended the multiparty system in favor of a tinkhundla (local council) system, and declared himself an absolute monarch. After Sobhuza's death in 1982, a protracted power struggle ended with the coronation of King Mswati III in 1986.
A new constitution implemented in 2006 removed the king's ability to rule by decree, but reaffirmed his absolute authority over the cabinet, Parliament, and judiciary. It also maintained the tinkhundla system—in which local chiefs control elections for 55 of the 65 seats in the House of Assembly, the lower house of Parliament—and did not overturn the ban on political parties. The charter provided for limited freedoms of speech, assembly, and association, as well as limited rights for women, but the king could suspend those rights at his discretion.
Also in 2006, 16 members of the prodemocracy People's United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO) were arrested and charged in connection with bomb attacks in 2005, but all were later freed on bail. In 2008, there were over 10 bomb attacks on government targets, and while there were no casualties, one blast killed the bomber, a member of PUDEMO. The government banned PUDEMO and four other groups under the newly enacted Suppression of Terrorism Act (STA).
In 2010, the Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions (SFTU) and the Swaziland Democracy Campaign organized two days of protests in Manzini, calling for political, civil, and economic reforms. Security personnel detained some 50 activists.
The year 2011 saw more antigovernment protests, most of which were violently dispersed by security forces. In March, thousands of civil servants marched in Mbabane to protest a pay freeze and government corruption amid the country's worsening financial crisis, which had been brought on by a sharp drop in revenue from a regional customs union and lavish spending by the royal family. The crisis had led to massive cuts in public services, including pensions, education, and health care. In April, prodemocracy demonstrations were met with a massive security presence and dispersed with tear gas, arrests, and assaults. PUDEMO leader Mario Masuku was placed under house arrest. In August, South Africa agreed to extend a R2.4 billion ($355 million) loan if Swaziland met fiscal reforms approved by the International Monetary Fund and "confidence-building measures" on democracy and human rights; by year's end, the kingdom had yet to accept the loan due to these conditions.
Swaziland has the world's highest rate of HIV infection. The financial crisis has led to shortages in antiretroviral drugs, as well as HIV testing.
Swaziland is not an electoral democracy. King Mswati III is an absolute monarch with ultimate authority over the cabinet, legislature, and judiciary. Of the House of Assembly's 65 members, 55 are elected by popular vote within the tinkhundla system, in which local chiefs vet all candidates; the king appoints the other 10 members. The king also appoints 20 members of the 30-seat Senate, with the remainder selected by the House of Assembly. Members of the bicameral Parliament, all of whom serve five-year terms, are not allowed to initiate legislation. Traditional chiefs govern designated localities and typically report directly to the king.
Political parties are illegal, but there are political associations, the two largest being the banned PUDEMO and the Ngwane National Liberatory Congress.
Corruption is a major problem, and government corruption was widely blamed for contributing to Swaziland's financial crisis. In October 2011, the minister of finance reported that the country loses $10.6 million to corruption every month, about double its annual social services budget. Swaziland was ranked 95 out of 183 countries surveyed in Transparency International's 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index.
Constitutional rights to free expression are severely restricted in practice and can be suspended by the king. Publishing criticism of the ruling family is banned. Self-censorship is widespread, as journalists are routinely threatened and attacked by the authorities. In March 2011, the government banned all state media from covering antigovernment demonstrations. In July, the Times of Swaziland received a court order to stop reporting on the case of a judge suspended for criticizing the king in a court ruling. In June, after a 14-year effort by local media organizations, the Swaziland Media Complaints Commission, a self-regulatory body, was registered with the government. South African media are available, and both the Swazi Observer and the independent Times of Swaziland occasionally criticize the government. Swaziland's only independent radio station broadcasts religious programming. The government does not restrict access to the internet, but few Swazis can afford access.
Freedom of religion is not explicitly protected under the constitution, but is respected in practice. Academic freedom is limited by prohibitions against criticizing the monarchy.
The government restricts freedoms of assembly and association, and permission to hold political gatherings is frequently denied. Demonstrators routinely face violence and arrests by police. The government has sweeping powers under the STA to declare any organization a "terrorist group," a practice that has been abused by authorities. Police harassment and surveillance of civil society organizations has increased in recent years, as have forced searches of homes and offices, torture in interrogations, and the use of roadblocks to prevent demonstrations.
Swaziland has active labor unions, with the largest, the SFTU, leading demands for democratization. However, government pressure and crackdowns on strikes have limited union operations. The government is the country's largest employer, and recent retrenchments in the public sector have spurred increased activism by government employees. Workers in all areas of the economy can join unions, and 80 percent of the private workforce is unionized.
The dual judicial system includes courts based on Roman-Dutch law and traditional courts using customary law. The judiciary is independent in most civil cases, though the king has ultimate judicial powers, and the royal family and government often refuse to respect rulings with which they disagree. However, the Swazi High Court has made a number of notable antigovernment rulings in recent years. In June 2011, Judge Thomas Masuku—head of the Judicial Services Commission—was suspended for allegedly insulting the king in a ruling.There were numerous incidents of police torture, beatings, and suspicious deaths in custody in 2011, particularly of leaders and participants in antigovernment protests. Security forces generally operate with impunity. Prisons are overcrowded, and inmates are subject to rape, beatings, and torture.
The constitution grants women equal rights and legal status as adults, but these rights remain restricted in practice. While both the legal code and customary law provide some protection against gender-based violence, it is common and often tolerated with impunity.

It's that time of year again, folks. As Fillyjonk wrote two two years ago:
Of course, we strive to make EVERY day No Diet Day, but if you've been teetering on the edge, today is the day to try it out for 24 hours and see how you function when you make peace with food. Or maybe it's time to spread the word to some friends, or post a flyer next to the stats for your office "Biggest Loser" competition. Or maybe it's just a day to eat a big piece of cake.
This time last year, we were celebrating by getting Lessons from the Fat-o-Sphere to the number one spot on the Powell's bestseller list. Of course, I happen to think that's an appropriate way to celebrate every year, so feel free to try again. (Kidding, kidding. But it does make a lovely gift.) Tell us how you're celebrating in comments.
