In Christopher v. National Education Association, Alaska, Nos. 04-35029, 04-35201 (9th Cir. Sept. 2, 2005), the Ninth Circuit addressed the conduct of a manager who could be described as an "equal-opportunity" harasser. Although the manager berated both male and female employees, the Court found that Title VII can still be violated if there were sufficient differences in the type, quantity, andeffect of harassment imposed upon the female employees. Moreover, the Court found that the manager's conduct toward female employees could be "because of their sex," and thus a violation of Title VII, even though the manager never made sexually explicit or sexually offensive comments. The case serves as an important reminder that the scope of "sexual" harassment claims has significantly broadened, underscoring the need for thorough training of employees and supervisors.
The Christopher lawsuit was filed by the EEOC on behalf of three female employees of NEA-Alaska, a labor union that represents public school employees. The employees contended that they were harassed by Thomas Harvey, Assistant Executive Director of NEA-Alaska. They alleged that Harvey frequently shouted at them in a loud and hostile manner, using profanity, invading their personal space, and shaking his fist or fingers at them. One employee contended that Harvey "lunged across the table" at her and shook his fist at her, while another explained that he came behind her, grabbed her shoulders and yelled at her to get back to her office while she was talking with a union representative. Male employees confirmed much of Harvey's conduct and testified that the women were terrified of him.
The evidence did not reveal, however, that Harvey made sexual overtures or lewd comments to the female employees. He was not alleged to have made references to their bodies, make sexual epithets, or even reference gender during his tirades. As such, Harvey's alleged conduct did not appear, on its face, to be sex or gender related. Indeed, testimony was presented that Harvey yelled at the male employees too and "scared the hell out of" one male employee when he launched himself within three inches of the employee's face, screaming about insubordination, and spitting on the employee.
The district court granted summary judgment on behalf of the employer, finding that a reasonable jury could not conclude that Harvey's conduct was "because of sex" and in violation of Title VII. The district court reasoned that the "because of sex" element of a Title VII sexual harassment claim required that the behavior be either "of a sexual nature" or motivated by "sexual animus." While the trial court recognized that Harvey was rude, overbearing, obnoxious, vulgar and "generally unpleasant," it held that because there was no evidence that any of the exchanges toward the plaintiffs were motivated by lust or sexual animus toward women, his conduct was not discriminatory.
The Ninth Circuit Court disagreed and reminded us that harassing conduct need not be motivated by sexual desire nor must it be overtly sex or gender specific. The Court relied upon Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc., 523 U.S. 75 (1998), where the United States Supreme Court recognized same-sex harassment toward a male employee who was subjected to humiliating sexual conduct from his male coworkers. The Christopher Court explained that since Oncale, the ultimate question in sexual harassment cases is the extent to which members of one sex are exposed to disadvantageous terms or conditions of employment to which members of the other sex are not exposed. This focus has resulted in plaintiff victories in same-sex harassment cases where the conduct does not appear sexual and is instead often described as "hazing" or "horseplay" directed only, or more severely, toward one gender versus another. In Christopher, the Ninth Circuit Court made clear that even in traditional male-to-female sexual harassment cases the question is whether one gender is treated in an offensive and unwelcome manner that differs from how the other gender is treated, without regard to whether the conduct appears overtly sexual or gender related.
With regard to "equal opportunity harassers," the Court reminded us of its decision in Steiner v. Showboat Operating Co., 25 F.3d 1459 (9th Cir. 1994), that harassing conduct can be because of sex even when the harasser abused both men and women. In Steiner, however, the type of harassment suffered by the female employees was different as well as sexual - when addressing women, the alleged harasser used sexual epithets and offensive, explicit references to their bodies and sexual conduct. The Christopher Court broadened the analysis of seemingly "equal opportunity harassers" to include not only differences in the type or quantity of harassment suffered but also theeffect or impact the harassment had upon women. Moreover, as discussed above, the Court did not find important the fact that Harvey's alleged conduct was devoid of any sexual or gender specific overtones, unlike the conduct in Steiner.
The Christopher Court concluded that sufficient evidence existed for a jury to determine whether the female employees were subjected to objectively different levels of harassment and whether the women were affected differently than the male employees. The Court pointed out that at least one male employee testified that Harvey treated him fairly well and that no evidence suggested that the male employees reacted as severely as the female employees when confronted by Harvey. Indeed, unlike the male employees, the female employees testified that they cried, felt panicked and threatened, avoided contact with Harvey, called the police, and ultimately resigned their employment because of the alleged conduct. The Court determined that this difference in effect was entirely relevant to determining whether the plaintiffs had proven a violation of Title VII.
For employers, the Christopher decision is significant because it reminds us of just how broad the concept of "sexual" harassment has become. The decision underscores why employer's policies against harassment should prohibit all forms of harassment without regard to whether the conduct is sufficient to constitute an actionable Title VII claim. As we train employees and supervisors and investigate and analyze complaints of harassment, we need to keep the lessons of Christopher,Steiner and Oncale in mind: (1) harassment does not have to be sexual in nature or even explicitly gender-related; (2) equal opportunity harassment is not acceptable and will not be a reliable defense inasmuch as it is likely to always impact one gender differently than another; and (3) the real issue in deciding whether Title VII has been violated is whether one gender is being subjected to disadvantageous terms or conditions of employment to which members of the other gender are not exposed.

Any amount of radon gas is toxic and will affect the health of you and your loved ones.
All residential homes in Wilton Connecticut, have some level of radon inside the home and radon gas levels fluctuate over time due to circumstances outside of your control such as weather, seasons, the amount of uranium in ground around your surroundings, as well as the rate of decay in which that uranium breaks down and radon is released into your air . If, your home or residence in Wilton Connecticut, is tested at unsafe radon levels then it will be imperative to have a radon mitigation professional asses your home and ultimately address radon reduction methods to ensure everything is under control and the optimal air quality conditions are maintained. There is a certain level of concentration that is suitable for breathing established by the EPA EPA Radon Safe Levelsand the World Health Organization World Health Organization Safe Level. Efforts must be taken to ensure the conditions are established.

Wilton Connecticut real estate radon mitigation should be of concern to real estate developers and real estate professionals in all areas nationwide. Real Estate radon mitigation can be achieved through proper ventilation plans of buildings to reduce concentration of radon in the air and to ultimately address any indoor radon levels. Most real estate developers are urged by key industry players, from the state to home buyers, to incorporate radon mitigation systems in their development plans and in some states may even be mandatory. This includes inspecting for radon levels in areas. Radon can be managed through radon mitigation practices and through radon testing and monitoring in Wilton Connecticut.
Radon gas is radioactive gas that emanates from the breakdown of uranium in soil into the natural air of the environment. The gas is common in many buildings around the United States and mostly finds its way up into the air from the ground through holes and cracks in the foundation of a building. The gas has been found to be cancer-causing and poses high risks of lung cancer even though it cannot be smelled, seen or tasted.
Real estate developers and real estate agents in Wilton Connecticut are recommended to conduct a radon test as part of real estate radon mitigation in their development areas. This will allow them to seek for radon reduction options and increase radon mitigation efforts. Real estate developers and real estate agents in Wilton Connecticut are now learning to keep the radon test results for the purposes of showing them to potential clients who may ask for the test results in the future.
To achieve real estate radon mitigation, developers may face heavy costs on radon testing and radon reduction for their buildings and home sites. The costs fluctuate depending on building size, design, surrounding climate, construction materials, and the general foundation of the building. In the United States and in Wilton Connecticut, the average cost of a radon system ranges from about $900 to $1600 depending on the condition of the building as well as market rates. Ultimately the cost for a radon system will be best determined by contacting a radon mitigation professional so, that they can assess your situation and suggest the best cost effective solution for your real estate radon mitigation needs.
Wilton Connecticut Waterborne radon occurs naturally and it's colorless, tasteless, odorless and radioactive. It also comes from the decay of uranium in soil and water and it is considered a health risk. It's found everywhere in the world in the air we breathe and usually comes in two ways: water and airborne. It is known as the silent killer and provides an open door for cancer. Radon gas and other various radon levels originate in water wells that are drilled into bedrock that contain uranium and radon gas. These wells can be private or wells that are used in a public systems in Wilton Connecticut. Ergo, if you have public water and have a concern about your water supplies, a radon test and future radon testing could insure the concentration in surface waters. A radon test is inexpensive, and knowing about radon levels in your area can ease your mind with a simple radon test in Wilton Connecticut.
One important factor about waterborne radon mitigation is that it works and can ensure that you keep yourself and your family safe from radon in water. The collection of radon in water keeps your homes or business buildings from having issues with your water supply, when radon mitigation is implemented. Radon mitigation is crucial since radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer; second only to smoking. That said you can see how valuable radon reduction methods in Wilton Connecticut are of the utmost importance. So, now you know that radon mitigation can target not only air based but, also water based sources by filtering out the waterborne radon by using carbon granule filtration systems. The ionized radon bonds with carbon and quickly reduces the levels in the water. Note: It's EPA estimated that 1 in 15 homes in the United States have elevated radon levels and in Wilton Connecticut waterborne radon issues should be addressed as well.

This weekend is my birthday, and for the first time in my life, it doesn't signify anything, except the normal I'm getting older. Ok, perhaps, it's not the first time, but it is definitely the first time I FEEL like it's just another day. But instead of it being all about me, my birthday made me think about how ME came to be. I'll leave the stork part out and focus instead on the major influences that have propelled me to this present moment, on the precipice of another birthday. And the majorist of major influences is my family.
The best way to describe my family is as a matriarchy. The women of my family – my mom, her five sisters, my recently passed grandmother, my sister and of course the girl-kids – are all very opinionated, and will rarely back down from any challenge. When I was a little girl, one of my most vivid memories was of my grandmother teaching me how to swim the side stroke. Despite the fact that I took lessons twice a week, she was insistent I learned the stroke before it was taught in class, so I could work to perfect it in class. She pushed me to always challenge myself and that only my determination and proactive attitude would get me ahead in life. We would sit together and do crosswords for fun, she said that while playing with dolls had its place, my mind would always be front and center, throughout my life. From my grandmother, I learned about the importance of family, not because she insisted that it was important, but because we all came together around her.
With the rest my female family members, education was the most important. I gained a deep admiration for knowledge and determination, since that was how my aunts expected me to be. Instead of feeling stifled, I learned that an education opened doors. My aunts were adamant I gain a higher education, at a minimum a bachelor's degree. Follow your dreams, they said, but never settle, get your degree and then do something with it! They urged me never to take a back seat and that my ability to move ahead should never come at the expense of others. My mom and aunts hold each other up, which to me is the best kind of community, a community that supports, and is strengthened by the other. To sum it up so far: mental prowess/education + community solidarity = me. That just leaves the other huge part of me. And I'm not talking about my bootylishous bod. No, that's a given. What I'm talking about is my argumentativeness. A gift from my sister. What is a question without a rebuttal? A slick remark without a sarcastic rejoinder? A joke without a witty retort? You get my drift. A birthday is a cause for celebration, not only for yourself, but also in how you became that way. Nature and nurture with a bit of chance mixed in. And celebrating family, at least for me, is a huge part of my birthday. What are your thoughts about birthdays? Do you think of them as more than just a day on the calendar and how so?

Mississippi hearings for 2015 budget underway this week
Agency directors to appear before Joint Legislative Budget Committee
Mississippi lawmakers are holding public hearings this week to start setting priorities for the next state budget.
Fiscal year 2015 begins next July 1.
Agency directors will appear Monday through Thursday before the 14-member Joint Legislative Budget Committee. They'll request money for schools, highways, prisons, Medicaid and other services.
The hearings are being held on the first floor of the Woolfolk state office building, near the Capitol.
House Appropriations Chairman Herb Frierson said he wants to increase spending for education, from kindergarten through universities. But he says the chances of fully funding the Mississippi Adequate Education Program are "slim to none."
MAEP is a complex formula designed to give elementary and secondary schools enough money to meet midlevel academic standards.

Parkinson's disease develops gradually, often starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. But while tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinson's disease, the disorder also commonly causes a slowing or freezing of movement.
Friends and family may notice that your face shows little or no expression and your arms don't swing when you walk. Speech often becomes soft and mumbling. Parkinson's symptoms tend to worsen as the disease progresses.
While there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, many different types of medicines can treat its symptoms. In some cases, your doctor may suggest surgery.

Every so often I get the urge to shoot video.
This blog is very Photography Heavy, but it all comes from the same camera. The trusty Samsung Galaxy S4.
I do video so infrequently that I had to find all the bits and pieces that I used last time to generate the files. Luckily Linux simply updated everything for me and it Just Worked Just Like The Last Time.
Anyway, enough boring stuff huh?
Lately I'd go out back to do the Morning Inspection. Happens right around 7:30AM. I'm due for the second mug of coffee, Rack is due to water a Palm Tree or three. Once that is done, I get herded. He wants to play.
Before it was him going around the yard at lightning fast speed. Now, he's more interactive and more assertive. For a dog who was completely "shut down" when I got him, I'll put up with the assertions.
Oh, and he's finding his voice, Finally. After three and a half years. Give or take a bit.

One Direction Vs. The Wanted: New Shot Fired In Boy Band War
The battle of the boy bands wages on, and this time it's not just the boys of The Wanted and One Direction involved, but their fans as well! Read on for all the details!
To say there is no love lost between the boys of The Wanted and One Direction would be quite an understatement. As the two English boy bands battle it out for supremacy, things continue to grow more and more intense as Nathan Sykes, member of The Wanted, went after a One Direction fan on Twitter on Jan. 2!
The Wanted Takes On Haters
A Twitter user with the handle @maddhatter333 tweeted The Wanted's official account with a nasty insult about the boys, saying, "@TheWantedMusic I don't know you give One Direction s**t, you can't even sing. Glee did a better version of your song than you #yousuck." Not exactly the nicest thing, but the response she got from the band wasn't any better.
The band's official Twitter replied to the hater with, "@maddhatter333 smile, you got a face like a smacked arse…" Wow! The tweet was later deleted from the account, but Nathan quickly tweeted from his personal account, "That awkward moment when you realise you are on the band account instead of your own…" While Nathan's reply to the hater definitely was not nice, she certainly isn't an angel in the situation, either.
One Direction Vs. The Wanted: The History
This is just the latest in the ongoing war between the two groups. Max George and Zayn Malik have shared words on Twitter, prompting Max to tell journalists that he would risk arrest to fight the boys of 1D! Then, at the Z100 Jingle Ball on Dec. 7 (which had both groups on the bill), we asked The Wanted who would put on a better show. Siva Kaneswaran replied, "What do you think?! Us!"
Do you think Nathan was out of line or did the hater deserve it, HollywoodLifers?

Outside View: Culvert ruling needs legal clarification
Sat., Sept. 2, 2017
The following editorial is from the Columbian (Vancouver, Wash.)
The U.S. Supreme Court should provide clarification of a lower-court ruling involving culverts throughout Washington.
That is the request of state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who has urged the court to weigh in on a case that has implications extending beyond the billions of dollars needed to improve fish passages. The case could cost the state nearly $2 billion while also setting a dangerous precedent for tribal authority on nontribal lands.
Last year, a three-judge panel from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a 2013 lower-court ruling ordering the state to fix or replace hundreds of culverts. The culverts are large pipes that allow streams to pass beneath roads, but litigants argued that they block migrating salmon. The case dates to 2001, when tribes, backed by the U.S. Justice Department, sued Washington to force the state to replace the culverts with structures that better allow fish to pass. The foundation for the ruling was a finding that the culverts violate treaties signed during the 1850s guaranteeing that tribes can always make a moderate living by fishing.
Governments should, indeed, be beholden to historic agreements made with Native Americans. But the culvert ruling extends beyond those agreements while simultaneously defying common sense.
As Ferguson writes in his filing, the Supreme Court "has held that Indian treaties 'cannot be rewritten or expanded beyond their clear terms to remedy a claimed injustice or to achieve the asserted understanding of the parties.' " The ruling finds that tribes "silently retained a right to control land-use decisions and state policies in the ceded territory that could affect salmon."
In other words, if the ruling is allowed to stand, it would expand tribal authority to an unreasonable extent. As the Seattle Times wrote editorially, "If tribes can demand culvert removal on nontribal land, they could follow up with lawsuits demanding the removal of dams or cessation of farming and development activities." Evan Sheffels of the Washington Farm Bureau said: "It could be the basis for all kinds of things. If you just replace the word 'culverts' with 'water rights,' you get a sense of how big this case could be."
Rob McKenna, Ferguson's predecessor as state attorney general, told the Seattle Times that the issue leads to a question of sovereignty more than simply salmon restoration: "If overnight the tribes became sovereign over lands and waters of the state, the people of the state would notice in a hurry. It would mean the government elected by the people would no longer be sovereign."
That helps to explain the broad reach of the decision, but the ruling also fails on the simple test of accountability. The culverts were built mostly with federal money while adhering to federal standards. If those culverts must be replaced, the federal government should not be allowed to pass the buck.
Ferguson is to be commended for urging the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on those questions.

In pictures: crane airlifts Hurricane onto York theatre roof
The Hurricane aircraft is now safely on York Theatre Royal's roof - but it took two hours and a lot of effort.
It's there to mark Armed Forces Day, the 70th anniversary of the French Air Force's arrival in the city, and York's part in the Tour de France.
Hurricane on York theatre roof will be "amazing talking point"
A Hurricane aircraft was airlifted onto the roof of York Theatre Royal today - and the director of the city's Air Museum hopes it will get people talking about the local history of the air force.
The lift not only marks Armed Forces Day, but also the 70th anniversary of the French Air Force arriving in York.
In June 1944 two French bomber squadrons became operational at RAF Elvington (now the Air Museum). They were unique in Bomber Command, with Elvington being the only base to be operated wholly by another nationality. Some 2300 French personnel were stationed at the base.
"As this significant 70th Anniversary coincides exactly with the build up to the Grand Départ of the Tour De France in York, the Hurricane will provide both an amazing talking point for the City's celebration of this magnificent sporting event and provide a visual spectacle for the television camera's following the peleton as it swoops past the Theatre Royal, with York Minster resplendent in the background.
"The Hurricane also reflects another wartime link to France, as it was a French pilot, Yves Mahé flying his 253 Squadron Hawker Hurricane, who first intervened to save York during the 'York Blitz' of April 1942."
Fitting memorial as Hurricane airlifted onto York theatre roof
Today marks the sixth annual Armed Forces Day.
And in the same year we mark the centenary of World War I, there are plenty of events going on across the region to show support for the forces.
In York, early this morning the Hawker Hurricane aircraft, normally housed at the Yorkshire Air Museum, was lifted onto the roof of the café of the Theatre Royal. This month is also the 70th Anniversary of the French Air Force arriving in York.
On top of all this, York will host Stage 2 of the Tour de France Grand Depart, making this memorial especially significant.
The Two Worlds of Charlie F comes to Newcastle
A play that is based on the lives of injured servicemen and women is coming to Newcastle's Theatre Royal as part of its nationwide tour.
'The Two Worlds of Charlie F' is unique as its cast is made up largely of former and current soldiers who were injured while they were serving with the armed forces.
Phil Roscoe went along to find out more.
Watch his full report below.
Help for Heroes charity urges everyone to get on their bike
Armed forces charity Help for Heroes has launched a fund raising bike ride to raise one and a half million pounds to help injured soldiers.
It is the 8th year the charity has organised a bike ride through the battlefields of the First World War, and this year they are encouraging everyone to take part with smaller UK-based rides planned.
David Wood reports.
Prince Harry leads team to Antarctica
A group of severely injured servicemen and women are on their way to the bottom of the world with Prince Harry.
It's part of the charity Walking with the Wounded's latest expedition. Ibrar Ali from North Yorkshire is taking part and Northumberland explorer Conrad Dickinson is also going as a guide.
'We have the mental strength to do charity trek'
Captain Ibrar Ali who is taking part in the Walking With The Wounded charity polar trek with Prince Harry admitted there will be days when the teams will be "tested" but says he believes they have the mental strength to overcome the challenges
'Harry's no different to anyone else on trek'
Captain Ibrar Ali, whose right arm was amputated after he was caught up in a roadside bomb explosion in Afghanistan in 2007, said he felt both nervous and excited about the South Pole challenge ahead and described Prince Harry as a "great team member"
As we've said throughout, he's a great team member and just fits in really well so no different to anyone else.
Re-training in energy industry for ex-forces personnel
Ex-forces personnel are being given the chance of to retrain in a new industry thanks to a push from the offshore wind industry.
Maersk Training has developed a new qualification to better job opportunities and prospects for those who have left the armed forces by educating them about the increasing offshore wind energy sector.
Soldier's families in legal action
The ten year fight for answers into the deaths of six soldiers murdered by an angry mob in Iraq has taken a new twist.
Four of their families, including two from our region, have now launched formal legal action against the Ministry of Defence amid continuing claims their sons were badly let down by the Army on the day they died. Gregg Easteal reports.

Google Street View takes you to the zoo
"Someone told me it's all happening at the Zoo". Google's Street View team has traveled around the world from coral reefs to canyons and down the trails of National Parks. This time the trekkers caught a break with something a bit more relaxing than a miles long hike or a dive in an area known for its sharks.
Now the team visits zoos, allowing you to get a sneak peak of a place you wish to visit, or simply enjoy the view from the comfort of your chair. "Lions and tigers may be standard attractions, but starting today, you can also use Street View to see the panda bears noshing on bamboo and tumbling around the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China. More than 30 percent of this endangered species calls this important conservation and breeding facility home", says Deanna Yick, Street View Program Manager.
The imagery sets also incudes several popular North American facilities, such as San Diego, Houston, Atlanta, and Chicago -- among others. You can also explore the Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico, and the Toronto Zoo and Jungle Cat World Wildlife Park in Ontario, Canada.
There are also various zoos located in South America, Taiwan, Australia and Germany. These locations all join ones previously available in Spain, Belgium, France and the UK.
Now it is up to you to do the exploring, and you don't need to be Dr. David Livingstone to pull it off. However, it could be dangerous to your wallet -- you may just end up booking yourself a vacation.

Athena's David Lynch and Jeff Finkelman Discuss Impact Investing in ThinkAdvisor
On February 18, 2016, ThinkAdvisor profiled Athena Capital Advisor's impact investment strategy in an article that included commentary from David Lynch, President, Managing Partner and Deputy CIO of Athena and Jeff Finkelman, Research Associate, Impact Investing, at the firm.
"The scales are starting to tip… In the early days you had to give up some return if you wanted to do this. Now the scales are at least equally balanced," David Lynch told Senior Reporter Bernice Napach.
Jeff Finkelman further noted that the walls between philanthropy and impact investing are starting to break down. "As the industry matures, people are starting to see it more as a spectrum rather than separate segments," he described.
Read ThinkAdvisor's full coverage here.
David Lynch oversees all of Athena's investment management and business functions, with particular focus on integrating strategy across asset classes, prioritizing research initiatives, and addressing client-specific requests. As a member of the Investment Committee, he helps guide Athena's asset allocation, manager selection and portfolio construction processes. David has been a key contributor to Athena's business leadership and growth since joining the firm in 2004.
Jeff Finkelman focuses on socially-responsible, ESG and impact investing across all asset classes. Working closely with Athena's Portfolio Managers, Jeff helps identify and assess investment opportunities that align with client values or which have the potential to generate positive impact in areas of interest to clients.

text: The film follows Robbie Phillips, Calum Cunningham and Alan Carne as they attempt to open a new climb, ground up, on a 700m Big Wall called Tsaranoro Atsimo in Madagascar. The walls of Tsaranoro are as wild and bold as the country, the rock beautifully carved as if by providential hand, and the story… that of a real adventure of friends taking the risks that come hand in hand with pushing boundaries. Once the free climbing begins disaster strikes, Alan takes a bad fall shattering his lower right leg, an epic ordeal unfolds to get Alan from the remote big wall to safety. From here the mood changes, Robbie and Calum are left with some big questions and bigger fears as they must decide whether to continue with their push or give in to their emotions as they learn the hardest way possible what it takes to open a Big Wall on one of the sheerest vertical faces in Africa.

Police Request Help to Attempt to Identify Battery Suspect; Warn Public About Pre-Dawn Attack
Police on the path at Lake Arlington on the north side of the lake near the location where a woman was attacked and dragged to a wooded area before she escaped.
Arlington Heights police were out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and early Monday to alert joggers, bikers, and walkers about an attack of a female jogger on the open trail just north of the lake. Police handed out fliers and placed fliers on windshields of vehicles parked at the Lake Arlington parking lot. Uniformed officers were out over the weekend alert patrons of the park. Monday morning detectives were located in three positions around the lake.
One man wondered about the new safety procedures implemented at the Lake Arlington trail, which has all people walking in the same direction. He thinks it makes it easier for an offender to sneak up behind people, since they are all facing the same direction.
The woman was attacked just before the break of dawn. Civil twilight or the dawn began at 6:17 a.m. which is when the first noticeable light appears in the sky over Lake Arlington. On Monday the break of dawn was about four minutes later at 6:21 a.m. Sunrise on Thursday, September 26, 2013 was 6:45 a.m. — usually about 30 minutes after the break of dawn. During twilight there are areas of the woods that remain much darker than open areas. Most people stayed of the short segment of trail that is located in the woods on the north side. It is much easier for an offender to hide in those dark area — especially during twilight when victim's eyes might not adjust rapidly from a light sky to a dark wooded area. A person wearing dark clothing can hide very effectively. See the photo album on The Cardinal Crime and Forensics Facebook page for views of various levels of light and darkness after dawn and after sunrise.
Photo at of Lake Arlington at 6:23 a.m. Monday September 30, 2013 in the Arlington Cardinal Crime & Forensics photo album for Lake Arlington Morning Twilight Monday 09.30.2013.
On September 26, 2013, at approximately 6:00 a.m., an adult female was jogging at Lake Arlington Park when a male wearing dark clothing grabbed her from behind. The offender dragged her off the jogging path and forced her to the ground. After a brief struggle, the offender ran away.
The Arlington Heights Police Department is seeking witnesses and is requesting assistance in identifying the offender.
The offender is described as a male, approximately 6 feet tall, with a thin build, and wearing dark clothing.
The female victim was not injured, and could not assist with a sketch of the offender at this time. The attack occurred on the north side of Lake Arlington, which is where the wooded area is located.
Cardinal Note: As of June 5, 2013 — up to and including the date of this article — police incidents related to the above police agency are not reported in real time or within a prompt time period. Police protecting their realm of investigation and police activity, have chosen to use encrypted radios to withhold their police communications, which were previously open to the public and news media via monitoring of public safety scanning radios — with no known negative results locally.
The delayed knowledge or entirely blacked out knowledge resulting from encrypted police communications may protect certain police operations and investigations, but it also puts the public at risk in situations such as when armed and dangerous offenders are at large and when other similar situations occur. In other cases, the delayed or blacked out information inhibits or prohibits the possibility of the public providing early witness accounts before a criminal trail goes cold. Citizens are much more likely to recognize or recall suspicious or criminal activity if they are aware of the criminal incident within minutes or hours of its occurrence. The most serious incident involving dire results would be a trail that is allowed to go cold in the case of child abduction.
The lack of real time information from public police dispatch also weakens an effective neighborhood watch program mostly working to prevent property loss, but also working to prevent possible violent crimes.
Police have alternate ways to transmit tactical, operational or investigative information, while still keeping their main public dispatch channels open for the best balance of public safety and police safety.

Keep Yer Eyes On The Road
Trying to keep focused on any subject or matter in my world of Krudeness for an extended amount of time is becoming very difficult as of late.But managable.Between work,health,broad,family,friends in peril.... It's been wild year so far. But that's the way I like it baby. I don't want to live forever. Lemmy!
Slight of hand is the ultimate grift,even to this day.True con artists still use this technique to sucker the suckers. Same suckers who use their right to vote in major elections. I have some beautiful waterfront property in Florida I would like to sell.Cheap.Just for you. Asshole.
I don't focus on pop culture bullshit.Taylor Swift releasing a new album doesn't move me. Over hyped boxing contests that take over media outlets are just peripheral $ making stagings for those who work it. And the ultimate distraction for everybody else who remotely gives a shit.Zzzzzzzzzz. Show me a sanctioned grudge match between a current Nazi and Black Panther. Now that's Must See TV.
I avoided booze for 10 days straight recently. An infection on my right foot caused a Dr to prescribe 2000 milligrams of Keflex antibiotic a day for 10 days. If it wasn't for the fact that I survived septicemia a few years ago,I normally wouldn't really give a shit about avoiding booze while taking Keflex. But I'm not taking any chances with nasty infections anymore. Booze is good. But life is better.
When a mega corporate online retail giant like Amazon classifies certain episodic tv shows as Bingeable TV on their streamable website,Krude takes offense. Guess it's ok with Jeff Bezos for people stay glued to tv shows for days at a time,but not ok to binge on anything else. Hypocrites suck.
After watching an old Married...With Children episode where the Bundy family gets stuck in Labor Day traffic and ends up brawling with other motorists,I decided to completely avoid any area within 10 miles of a major highway on Labor Day weekend. But alas,I live in New Jersey. There is a major fucking highway within 1 mile of every NJ town. Fuck me. Guess I'm stuck in this swampy suburban muck for 3 days.
Oakland Raiders football team starts its regular season in 13 days. I'll be in DC on 9/24 in prime time to support the Silver and Black amongst the Snyder 'Skins faithful. Bring on the Fall!

Jamaica based, Reggae/Dancehall recording artist, Karamanti is enjoying success in a few African countries with songs that are being well received in their respective territories.
For several months now, her song entitled "West Africa" has been somewhat of an anthem for certain communities in parts of West Africa. The song, which has received well over 15,000 you tube hits and counting, speaks of her love for, and connection with the people of West Africa.
Recently, Karamanti was asked by Ghanaian based producer, and radio personality, Strike Dee, to record a song for his production company, S-Dee Music. The outcome was a single called "African Song" that was officially released in Ghana at the beginning of March and already is getting heavy radio rotation on several commercial stations in the region. Karamanti and her team are also in talks with promoters in Ghana about the possibility of a tour before the year is out.
Other African countries that are rapidly connecting with Karamanti's music are Malawi, Nigeria and Zimbabwe. Check out the "African Song" here.

Yesterday Cosmo had the oh-so-difficult task of walking the 'blue' carpet for the premiere of Fast & Furious 6. And let us tell you... It was Fast. AND Furious.
We don't know if it would be possible to cram any more hotness into one film. The b-e-a-utiful Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and ultimate beefcake Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson star alongside Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Gina Carano and Elsa Pataky.
Paul Walker in the flesh was every bit as wonderful as imagined. Fans of Mr Walker were treated to autographs and THOSE blue eyes. Intense. There were also lots of impressive looking cars on show but who's looking at motors when Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are around?!
The cast were in good spirits as they were called to the front of the Empire cinema in London's Leicester Square. Major props to Michelle Rodriguez who ran down the cinema aisle in Louboutins and a red lace strapless dress. Vin Diesel gave a speech to the cinema on how much the franchise meant to him (and no, not just the $, although we're sure that didn't hurt)– the first of The Fast and The Furious films came out back in 2001.
This is the sixth in the franchise and mostly set in London – how anyone manages to get a car above 5mph in chock-a-block Piccadilly Circus is beyond us. It features almost all the main characters from the previous films and is undoubtedly going to be another hit. Perfect for lovers of action, stunts, cars and comedy or, let's face it, fans of seriously hot movie stars. We like.
Fast & Furious 6 is out nationwide on the 17th May
Are you excited to see the film? Tell us @CosmopolitanUK

appeal - lack of transcript - reconstruction - PRAP 1923
In the Interest of G.T. - Superior Court - April 10, 2006
Appellant father contested the termination of his parental rights, claiming, inter alia, that the part of the hearing transcript was missing. The court rejected that argument, noting that father did nothing to try to recreate the missing parts of the transcript as best he could, which was his duty under PRAP 1923 http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/210/chapter19/s1923.html (Statement in Absence of Transcript) and which opposing counsel offered to draft. The court also held that there was a sufficient factual basis for the lower court's decision, even in the absence of parts of the transcript.

Recently, a good friend surprised me with what looked like a whisk – the difference is, that it is not for use in the kitchen (at least I have not tried whisking eggs with it)…but for the head. Yes, it turned out to be a head massager in disguise!
I happily put it to the test immediately, pushing it gently up and down on the top of my head, and yes, it 'wakes me up' after each session of about 10 ups & downs. I massage my head at least 3 times a day or whenever I feel a need to 're-energize myself'..
It is even more effective if I use two whisks at the same time – I bought 2 more when we chanced upon them at a vendor's stall in the local market. What joy to find it here….I should have bought more.
Happy 'whisking'….

Effects of your bedroom to sleep better
Effects of your bedroom to sleep better
In fact, sleep is a necessary part of our lives. Sleep is just like a magic self-healing medicine that reinvigorates our minds and bodies. As a minimum that's the principle. 62% of American matured practice a sleep problem a few nights per week. Through merging data with your preferred sleepy tracker, it's simple to observe if there's something incorrect in your bedroom. Before we endeavor some real-life experiments with that, let's get a look at the basic characteristics of your indoor environment that are required for a good night's sleep.
Humidity: Locate the golden average: Compounding humidity can be a complicated act, but it's still more important for health in our bedrooms. Due to parched winter air can cause dry skin, aggravated throats, and creates cold, flu and other viruses feel right at home. While summer, high humidity will give confidence mold growth and make various insects happy. For that reason your bedroom humidity levels should be around 50% all year around. Rather you can enhance humidity by means of a humidifier, decrease it with a dehumidifier or with the assistance of your air conditioners dry mode. Only need to make sure not wander away too far above or below the golden average.
Air quality: Stay your VOC levels in confirm: Your glossy new mattress might be wonderful comfortable to sleep on, but it might also be discharge destructive Volatile Organic Compounds within the air you breathe in at the time you're in the most pleasant state. From researches there have found a links between indoor air pollution and sleep-disordered breathing.
What about the new mattress smell? Actually you don't desire to be surrounded by that massive bucket of VOCs in you sleep. Allow the mattress do its preliminary off-gassing in a well-ventilated room for a some periods. Aged mattresses and old carpets are also in the midst of other common VOC-emitting offenders. Don't be lured to use air-fresheners to mask all the bad smells though; it's a really good idea to allow some fresh air from the outside flow through the bedroom before sleep.
Temperature: Stable and lesser than in other rooms: Whether you sometimes wake up possessed in sweat? Really your bedroom is excessively hot. Although we do have our own individual preferences, you'll generally sleep superior if you stay your bedroom at a somewhat lower temperature than your living places. Keep away from going above 75°F or below 54°F. Few still say the sweet spot occurs between 60° and 68°F. Especially for small children having a consistent and not too hot bedroom (around 68°F or 20°C) is mainly significant. Keeping the temperature constant the thermostats, linked to your heating and air conditioning system, can assist you.
Noise: Compatible noise might be helpful: Truly it is reality that a noisy snoring partner, a bored cat or partying neighbors can wake you up. A bit less explicit is noises we don't deliberately notice, but that are loud enough to stop us from reaching a deep sleep condition. Generally noise means possible danger, so we're used to paying attention.
There is a huge of Smartphone apps that offers background noises of several kinds, from city traffic sounds to relaxing rainfall. While you get used to sleeping with a steady noise, it can even help you get a good night's sleep while traveling and sleeping at hotels with a different noise step. On the other hand, you can attempt to stop up all sounds by wearing earplugs, which, unluckily, isn't always a blessed option.
