Anshumali Shrivastava, assistant professor of computer science, is one of 45 scientists and engineers in the U.S. to share nearly $20 million in grants from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research's Young Investigator Research Program.
The program is open to researchers in the U.S. who have received a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in the last five years and demonstrate "exceptional ability and promise for conducting basic research."
"It is important to note that this is Anshu's second award in the Young Investigator category, after he won the National Science Foundation CAREER award in 2017 as well," said Luay Nakhleh, professor and chair of the Department of Computer Science. "This is amazing!"
Shrivastava's proposal was titled "Sub-Linear Algorithms for Learning and Sensing with Multiple Disparate and Ultra-High-Dimensional Dataset."
"This project will enhance our current capabilities to process high volumes of heterogeneous data generated from high-resolution sensors," Shrivastava said.
He came to Rice in 2015, the same year he earned his Ph.D. from Cornell University. His research focuses on large-scale machine learning, randomized algorithms for big data and graph mining.
He earned an integrated M.S. and B.S. in mathematics and computing in 2008 from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, where he was a silver medalist.

"There is a little bird called the Arctic Tern. It breeds in the sub-arctic regions of Europe, Asia and North America. This little bird travels over 44,000 miles a year, from Arctic to Antartica, and everywhere in between. I find that pretty fascinating" says Eoin Boyle closing his reply to my enquiry about the inspiration for his most recent video.
I wrote previously that the song was about the affect of immigration on Irish society but Boyle points out the song is much more than just that. "It's not about any one thing" says Boyle. "I like to leave room in my songs for people to create their own interpretations of things. It's interesting how you picked up on it being about Irish people who have emigrated in recent times. Sure, it can be about that. It can be about different things to different people. For me though, it runs a little deeper. I remember coming up with the guitar rhythm part first, as I do most of the time when I write songs. It had a kind of progressive (almost trad) feel to it. It didn't need to go anywhere else. It didn't need to move or change into a chorus. It didn't need to be forced. All it needed was to just "be" and keep on moving. One chord throughout with a drop in the root note, and the foundation of the song was created. The only thing it acquired now were words. I noticed the birds landing on the trees outside. It almost seemed like they flew in right on cue to make me aware of their presence. I started to think about their world. What was it like to live in their world?"
For Boyle the song is about freedom. "Imagination. A dream world. A world of respected orders, with Kings and Queens. Like an old fairy tale of far off places. Destinations "we can only imagine". These birds share our world, but they own the skies. I think we often fail to understand that. Most of the time we don't even realise they're there. It kind of got me thinking about how we're all missing the bigger picture. We're so caught up in ourselves as a society, and in our material worlds.. "truckers hauling desires", we miss the bigger picture. Almost like human evolution has programmed us to forget. But it is a positive song. It's about being aware of all these things and encouraging others to make the most of life. Not to take things for granted.. "This could be your revolution"." he says.
As for the video, Eoin Boyle is new to the form and asked Sean Clarke and Chris Walshe "if between them they could perhaps make it appear how a bird might see the world." Boyle adds that they didn't really lock into any narrative as he wanted the viewer/listener to be free to interpret.

The Long Island woman who fooled the art world by pawning off paintings by an unknown artist from Queens as the work of Modernist masters was sentenced to time served on Tuesday, more than five years after her actions helped lead to $80 million in fraudulent sales and the demise of New York's oldest gallery.
Between 1994 and 2009 prosecutors have said that the woman, Glafira Rosales, a little-known art dealer on Long Island, and her boyfriend came up with 60 pieces that they marketed as previously unknown works by artists including Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock. In fact, they had all been created by a Chinese immigrant who used a garage in Queens as his studio.
In her sentencing, the judge, Katherine Polk Failla of Federal District Court in Manhattan, cited defense arguments that Ms. Rosales had been intimidated and abused by her former boyfriend, who is also charged in the case and whom the defense described in court papers as the mastermind of the scheme. She also feared being separated from her daughter, according to the defense.
"Ms. Rosales, I'm not putting you back in jail," Judge Failla said.
Ms. Rosales, 60, had served three months in jail. She will be subject to three years of supervised release including 90 days of home detention, the judge said. She will also pay restitution in an amount to be determined. Her boyfriend, Jose Carlos Bergantiños Diaz, was arrested in 2014 in Spain but his extradition has been blocked.
During the audacious fraud, which spanned 15 years, Ms. Rosales sold the bogus works to galleries in Manhattan, including the venerable Knoedler & Company on the Upper East Side. When the scheme came to light, experts agreed that it was the largest art fraud in modern memory.
Knoedler, founded in 1846, went out of business just ahead of lawsuits by prominent collectors over the fakes. In 2013 Ms. Rosales pleaded guilty to nine counts of conspiracy, fraud and other crimes. Knoedler has said it never realized the works were fake.
In the case of Ms. Rosales, the sentencing guidelines, which take into account the seriousness of the offense and the offender's criminal history, had suggested a prison term of 151 to 181 months. But her lawyer, Bryan C. Skarlatos, asked for leniency, saying Mr. Bergantiños Diaz had coerced Ms. Rosales into assisting him.
"He hit her," Mr. Skarlatos told the judge. "He broke her nose, he left scars on her body."
A prosecutor, Patrick Egan, did not object to the request for time served, saying Ms. Rosales had provided "instrumental" evidence, telling investigators how the fraudulent paintings had been made, where they had been made, what fake stories had been used to sell them and how those tales had originated.
Prosecutors said that Mr. Bergantiños Diaz, met and befriended the forger, Pei-Shen Qian in the 1980s as he was painting on the streets. Mr. Qian mimicked the varied styles and forged the various names of the Abstract Expressionists he copied and Mr. Bergantiños Diaz treated the works to give them the false patina of age. The artist, who has also been charged, fled to China. He has insisted he did not realize his work was being passed off as original.
Ms. Rosales told galleries that the works came from a mystery collector who wished to remain anonymous, and her story and the artworks were embraced to an extent that illustrated how vulnerable the art market could be to any sophisticated fraud.
The most rigorous examination of flaws in the authentication process came last year during the trial in a lawsuit filed by Domenico De Sole, the chairman of Sotheby's, and his wife Eleanore, who had bought a forged Rothko from Knoedler for $8.3 million.
The witnesses included a parade of experts, including some who said that the gallery had misrepresented their opinions of certain works. Christopher Rothko, the artist's son, said his name had inaccurately been included on a list of experts who had viewed the bogus work. And before the extent of the forgeries became clear, some experts endorsed the fake paintings while receiving undisclosed consulting fees from Knoedler. Others denied authenticating bogus works but nonetheless acknowledged they had expressed enthusiasm for them.
The suit against Knoedler was settled for an undisclosed amount just as the gallery's former owner and president were set to testify.

The president of Aragón, Mr. Javier Lambán, has chaired a meeting with company representatives of the pig sector of Aragon for the creation of the National Porcine Cluster. The formal constitution of the cluster and the presentation of its strategic plan will be celebrated in November.
The establishment of a cluster of pig producers will contribute to boost the sector as a whole, facing its main challenges and improving its levels of competitiveness, by launching joint initiatives aimed at taking advantage of new business opportunities and launching projects for innovation, sectoral collaboration and internationalization.
Representatives of Ars Alendi, Vall Companys, Piensos Costa, Portesa, Jorge Group, Inga Food, Livestock Cooperative of Caspe, Uvesa, Copiso, Pig Champ pro Europa, Cuartesa, Arcoiris, Guissona Food Group, Porcine Sanitation Group, the Porcine Association ANPS, the association ANPROGAPOR and Leridana de Piensos have signed the commitment of promotion and adhesion to the Cluster.
Aragón is the second Autonomous Community in pig production, behind Catalonia: At present, Aragón produces around 13.5 million pigs, 25% of the total of the country and equivalent to 1,353,000 tons of pork meat, or a value of 1,624 million €.The pig production industry accounts for 3.5% of the regional GDP, more than 3,900 pig farms are distributed throughout the Community.
From the beginning of the legislature until 2020, the pig sector is expected to invest around 500 million euros and create 5,000 new jobs in Aragón. Many of these investments are already under way, ie the expansion projects of companies such as Vall Companys, Pini (in Binéfar and Albelda), Jamones Albarracín, Portesa, Arcoiris, Grupo Jorge, Espuña and Grupo Costa, among others.

The header is the part of your website that teaches your visitors how to swim, gives them a direction to go in, while gently coaching and coaxing them all the way. This role is incredibly important because your visitor has no intrinsic reason for wanting to swim around your site to begin with, so the experience should be pleasant and smooth.
Imagine someone blindfolds you and drops you in a lake. Oh, and you never learned to swim in the elements. You only have a few minutes to get to shore. You can already feel the slimy eels slithering past your ankles as you sink into the depths. Panic sets in…
Visiting your website shouldn't elicit the feelings brought up in the scenario I just painted. Your header should be the lifeguard, a stalwart guide that reassures the visitor they can always return to a safe checkpoint and find what they need.
Today, I'd share a few quick tips that will help you create a friendly and inviting header design for your website. I bet you can even implement most of them in the next 15 minutes. I dare you – try it!
Table of Contents
Don't Get a Big Ego: Keep Your Logo Small
I've worked with far too many design clients who wanted their logo to be the most prominent part of their website, on every single page.
Me: "How's that?"
Client: "Bigger."
Me: "…okay. I recommend not going too big, so I've increased it just slightly. How about now?"
Client: "Bigger!"
Me: "It's really not good for your visitors."
Client: "My branding is more important than my visitors. BIGGER!"
Me: "…sigh."
Your logo is important. However, it should almost never be the focal point of the page. Branding is important as a consistent, background element of your site that oozes through with subtlety, but your visitor is the person who may eventually become a fan or part of your client base. Focus on their needs, not yours. Their need is to access the content you're offering, not to sit there staring at your logo.
In other words your logo should be prominent , but not overpowering, in the upper left-hand corner of your header. Centered is O.K. too.
My personal limit is to never let the logo be more than 20% width of the header when viewed on a desktop.
Action: Your logo should be comfortably visible, but only as big as it absolutely needs to be for usability. You can use apps on your computer or online tools like PicResize to save your logo at different sizes.
Make Your Logo Clickable
This one is pretty simple. People expect that clicking on the logo will take them back to the homepage. Don't link to another website, or a random page of your site.
Action: Link your logo to the homepage of your website.
Rethink Your Menu Items
Menu items serve as safe checkpoints visitors can always return to when they get lost. Making sure these serve your goal and your visitor's goals well is crucial.
A lot of this comes down to solid content organization, which is something we've discussed at length here at Dialect Pro:
- Pretend you don't have a website and imagine how someone would navigate a series of folders, using only the folder names to help them.
- Learn about the ways content can be organized on your site, and choose menu items accordingly.
- Check that the content of your menu items delivers the expectation the menu name set.
Action: Review your menu items. Make sure they all steer the visitor towards your goal, and help the visitor understand what they can achieve on your site.
Check the Color Contrast
Even if your website is all black and white, there is likely more than just one color on your website. Your text and background are not usually the same color, or no one could read it because they would blend into each other. In a similar way, even poor contrast between the color of your header links and header background can create a terrible experience for the person trying to read them.
This is a simple user experience (UX) problem, which you can easily remedy. First, investigate whether your colors have high enough contrast to each other. If they don't, find colors that fit your branding and contrast better. Update your header design accordingly!
Action: Use tools like WebAIM's Contrast Checker to check your contrast and make sure people can actually read the links in your header.
Don't Get Overzealous: Avoid Clutter
If you have a single, clear goal for your website, your header design should reflect that goal. The steps you want your reader to take to reach that goal should be made obvious and easy within your header.
It is easy to get distracted by all the ways you can use your header to promote different things. But, if you try and sell the visitor on twenty actions to take, they will likely get confused or overwhelmed and not do any of it.
As Ron Swanson says, don't half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.
Action: Remove anything in your header that doesn't help your website achieve its true goal.
Conclusion? Keep It Simple
At the end of the day, your header should be clear, small, and simple. The header shouldn't be the focus of your site, but more of a steady guide that helps the user when they get stuck. If your header takes up more than half of the page when it first loads, there's a good chance something is wrong.
To review, here are a few quick tips that will help you build a friendlier header design for your visitors:
- Keep your logo small.
- Make your logo clickable,
- Use clear, self-explanatory menu items.
- Check the color contrast for readability.
- Avoid clutter that doesn't help your website achieve its primary goal.

Several years ago, it became all the rage for churches to adopt mission statements. When establishing mission statements, perhaps the most popular approach today is to emphasize the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. It's not uncommon to hear mission statements like:
"A great commitment to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission will produce a great church."
"To glorify and honor God by fulfilling the mission the Lord gave His followers through the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) in the Spirit of the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-40)."
"We are a people committed to living and teaching the Great Commandment (loving God) and the Great Commission (loving others)."
This is all well and good, and I may be guilty of nitpicking here, but these statements can be misleading. You might be thinking, "How on earth can those mission statements be misleading?"

Workers Busy At New Owego School Project Site
Dozens of trucks have been bringing in thousands of tons of top soil and other material to the site of the new Owego Elementary School.
According to a project report released by the Owego-Apalachin School District, more than 18,000 tons of fill for the building pad was delivered over the course of seven working days.
Thirty trucks are being used to bring material to the site and eight trucks have been utilized to haul material away.
A natural gas line relocation project recently was completed.
Work is to continue in the flood mitigation area at the construction site as weather conditions permit.
The flood-damaged elementary school was torn down over the summer. The new school is expected to open in September 2015.
Owego Elementary students have been attending classes at a Union-Endicott School District building in West Corners.

German industrial output rebounded in December and increased at the fastest rate since August in December, led by durable consumer goods such as washing machines and flat-screen televisions.
According to data relased by the Economy Ministry in Berlin earlier today, output increased by a seasonally adjusted 0.8 percentin December from November, when it declined a revised 0.3 percent.
Today's report suggests some parts of German industry are weathering the euro's 11 percent gain against the dollar over the past year rather better than might have been expected, although today's exports numbers put a question mark over the strength of this process going forward.Overall, production of consumer goods rose 2.3 percent in December from November, the ministry said, with durable goods up 3.5 percent and output of non-durable goods increasing 2.1 percent. Investment goods production dropped 2 percent.
German plant and machinery orders rose 14 percent in December from a year earlier, fueled by sales abroad, the VDMA machine makers association said Jan. 6.
Other reports hawever have been showing a more mixed picture. The January services purchasing managers index incicated contraction, and retail sales fell sharply. Construction activity, which improved very slightly in December is still operating at very low levels.
German exports fell for a second month in December, and manufacturing orders dropped the most in five months, led by a drop in export sales, the ministry said yesterday, giving us another sign that Europe's largest economy is losing momentum.
Orders, adjusted for seasonal swings and inflation, fell 1.7 percent from November, when they rose 3 percent. This report, when combined with the November and December trade data suggests manufacturers are starting to feel the pinch of a surge in the euro that's making their exports less competitive abroad just as the U.S. economy hovers near recession. Chancellor Angela Merkel's government cut its 2008 growth forecast last month, citing a stronger euro and the increase in oil prices.

Tis an age
Blimey life just goes on and I have realised that I have not put anything on the blog for ages. So here we go. WNO carries on towards the performance on the 3rd may to an invited audience in Cardiff. Jo has finished his film for this and I really can't wait to see the final version. The family had a break in Valencia and Carcaixent with cousin Sean, very hot. Lots to do on my return, A proposal for Cambridge, an application for the PRS New Music Incubator, one has to be invited and very kindly Jess put me forward, I really would love to get this opportunity to work alongside and collaborate with fellow musicians, sound artist et al. The Gimlet -Eyed Mariners have just had a great session yesterday, certainly one of the best and the recorded cd sounds brilliant, moving in new directions and Barry was on great form. Very enjoyable. The Blackdown Hills book 'along the wild edge' is out and looks great, obviously a brilliant cover! So all in all good stuff

On Monday, September 23, we were very fortunate to have child advocate and best-selling children's author, Trudy Ludwig share her books, research, and words of wisdom with the Tuscan community. Since 2002, Ms. Ludwig has been writing books that provide children with insights and strategies to deal with bullying behavior. And not just the classic case of bullying that involves physical aggression, but verbal aggression, and relational aggression (using relationships to manipulate or harm others). According to Ms. Ludwig, research indicates that relational aggression is much more of a concern to children and teenagers than the physical kind. Ms. Ludwig's mission is to give children mental tools to deal with bullying behavior in safe and

Walking Schoolbus Pilot - Update
An update on the "soft launch" from our WSB Coordinators
Friday morning there was much buzz around Tuscan Elementary School as we launched our first Walking School Bus! A "Walking School Bus" is a group of children walking safely to school with the help of adult volunteers. Children on the two routes: Blue Route (from Hilton Ave across Springfield Ave at Rutgers Ave) and the Yellow Route (from Oakland St on Prospect St.) beamed with Tuscan pride as they walked from their homes to school, some for the first time. As a 'soft launch', last Friday morning was an

Rescue Squad regular crews go into fire and gas to rescue people. I go into their heads. Sometimes fire is better. (31)
Katherine MacLean's telepathic cop tale set in a future New York is as technologically inventive as it is futuristically imaginative, where every page brims with a fresh take on the futuristic police procedural, along with plenty of nods to classic SF influences. It's rare to find a forty-year-old SF novel that feels so buoyant, especially considering the depths she chooses to explore. MacLean is a resourceful writer, loyal to the genre style, but she adds a layer of psychological and sociological depth, relevant to the social discourse of her day. Much like Bester and Brunner before her, it's an exciting, critical read, with her own blend of individualism and progressivism, though misguided at times. Continue reading

Dry Needling
Myofascial Dry needling uses acupuncture type needles to treat the layers of muscle and fascia at deeper levels than fingers can reach. The needles are targeted at contractions along the muscle fibers or at thickened areas of fascia, creating better range of movement. Needling turns off the trigger point (sensitive point in the muscle) and decreases the thickness and contraction of the tissue, which in turn increases flexiblility.
Several areas can be treated in the one session. The main benefit is that we can affect the deeper layers of tissue with out irritating the superficial layers of tissue at the same time.
The only therapists qualified to perform dry needling are Terry Downes and Yasuko Tauchi.

But there are selective pressures. And in a capitalist, rigidly class-stratified culture like the one we've got, the overwhelmingly strongest of these pressures come from the interests of power. The big money system sees all these ideas percolating around. It sees some of them getting more popular. And it evaluates them for usefulness. Those that are useful--those that are immediately profitable, those which will perpetuate the system--get shitloads of money thrown at them. Those that are not do not or, worse, get money thrown at their opposites. In this way, the ideas that are useful to power survive and reproduce and spawn new ideas in new heads that are also useful to power, while those that are either useless or against power tend to die off before having much of an impact."
My point is that focusing on civility seems to have blinded us to the fact that more and more, what we're dealing with is incipient (and increasingly, actual) criminality. We can be civil, and still call sedition out for what it is. Those laws exist, and they may be a useful big stick."

Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks has said that she hopes Katy Perry and John Mayer will be together forever as she thinks they're such a great couple.
The pair attended a Fleetwood Mac concert in Las Vegas last month and the singer dedicated their track Landslide to them.
Speaking to UsMagazine.com Nicks said, "They seem to be a really great couple, and they seem to really care about each other. I am just hoping for the best for them. It would be great if that relationship really worked out and they were together forever.
"I think they're really good for each other. They're very different people, and that's the best way to go out with somebody. I always love to dedicate Landslide to people I know really get it and appreciate it because it doesn't go out to anybody.''
Nicks went on to explain that while she's been friends with Mayer for a long time, she's only gotten to know Perry lately but is now a big fan.
She said, "I like Katy's songs and her energy. I dance to them and I treadmill to them. Anybody who makes my treadmill list is my friend because they are helping me to keep my weight exactly where I want it to be. I think Katy's really fun, funny and quirky. I met her in London months ago. We sat down at 11:30 at night. We sat in the coffee shop for three hours. We ran the gamut of her life, my life and everything. I just really like her.''

JIRA is an issue tracking tool that is popular with software developers. It allows you to create boards with swimlanes, each of which represents the different status of your issues.
For my boards, I find it useful to get a weekly view of my issues. In particular, I like to see the issues that were due last week, are due this week and next week.
Doing that is easy in JIRA. Just add three filters with these filter definitions to any board that you are using:

Katia Peltekian
Frequent contributor to Armenian News Network-Groong
Born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, Katia holds degrees in English Literature and Education from Lebanon and Canada. She has taught English at the American University of Beirut since 1988. She compiles not only current news on Armenia and Armenians for the Armenian News Network Groong, but also old news articles and reports from English language newspapers from around the world. In 2000, she published Heralding of the Armenian Genocide, which is a compilation of articles printed in the Halifax Herald (Nova Scotia, Canada) including reports of the ongoing massacres commited against the Armenians from 1894 to 1922. She is currently compiling articles printed in the London Times (UK); this will be published in the near future. The volumes will include articles from 1878 to 1920s.
http://www.aztagdaily.com/EnglishSupplement/BIO_KatiaPeltekian.htm Katia M. Peltekian
Born to Jordanian-Armenian parents and raised in Lebanon, Katia Peltekian received her BA and MA degrees in English Literature from the American University of Beirut. She later received her second MA in Education from Canada. Between 1988 and 2004, she was a full-time faculty member at AUB teaching English at all levels. In the past 8 years, she has presented papers in English instruction at international conferences in Greece, Spain and England. She is fluent in English, Arabic and Armenian, and has basic knowledge of French and Turkish.
At an early age, Katia developed a love of reading in any form. As the Civil War raged in Lebanon, newspapers and newsmagazines became one method of entertainment in the Peltekian household. Her parents encouraged her and her brothers to write letters to editors of international magazines whenever the Armenian issue was mentioned in those papers. For the past 7 years and on a daily basis, she has diligently compiled on voluntary basis current news items for the Armenian News Network Groong (www.groong.org), which is a free internet service that collects all news articles and reports from around the world pertaining to Armenia and Armenians. In many instances, she also translates from Arabic articles that appear in Arabic language newspapers in Lebanon and the region.
While studying in Halifax, Canada, she became interested in reading old Canadian newspapers to see how and if they had reported the ongoing atrocities committed by the Turks against the Armenians during World War One. With the encouragement of the Armenian Cultural Association of the Atlantic Provinces based in Halifax, she compiled the articles pertaining to the Armenian Genocide between 1915 and 1922. Although she admits she had never been interested in history classes at school, she began educating herself about the condition of the Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire. This led her to a much richer repertoire of news articles about the massacres committed by the Turks during Sultan Abdul Hamid's reign in the 1890s.
And what she was able to collect from only one newspaper published in Halifax (Nova Scotia), where only a handful of Armenians reside, was quite significant. As she copied these articles from microfilms, she decided to have the compilation published in a book believing that many would learn about Armenian history as she had learned from these news articles. However, when she received no response from a couple of Armenian institutions she had approached for publishing it, she decided to publish the 350 page book at her own expense.
The book Heralding of the Armenian Genocide was published in 2000 and distributed for free mainly to the provincial government members in Nova Scotia and selectively in the other Canadian provinces. It was also distributed to a few Turkish diplomats, as well as to public and university libraries in Halifax. The rest were sent to libraries in Armenia and Armenian research centers in the USA.
The response Katia received from Armenian and non-Armenian scholars and interested individuals after the printing of the book was so positive that she embarked on a second project: compiling articles from a British newspaper. She chose The Times of London since she had easier access to it both at AUB library and at Toronto Reference Library where she spends three months in summer. To date, she says she has collected more than 1700 articles, reports, letters-to-editor, and speeches printed in The Times alone between 1878 and 1900. She plans to collect all articles until 1925 and publish them in volumes. To make sure she has the complete collection, she has traveled to distant cities in Britain to work at the different branches of the British Library.

Stacey and the Mystery at the Mall is the fourteenth book in the BSC Mystery series.
Shopping has become a dangerous business…
Plot synopsis
As part of a new Short Takes class called "Project Work", all the baby-sitters are taking part-time jobs at Washington Mall for a month. At their jobs, all of them are surprised to find out how big a problem shoplifting is. Stacey is especially upset when an electronic toy, the Gamester, is stolen while she's working at Toy Town.
Clues and evidence
- Shoplifting has been significantly more common lately.
- Three blonde kids, about six, eight and twelve years old, are seen around the mall constantly, but never have parents or anyone else with them. During story hour at the bookstore, Mallory thinks she saw one of them eat another child's cookies.
- In Kristy's job at the mall security office, she sees a group of teenagers looking suspicious; the security team thinks a gang of older kids might be doing most of the recent shoplifting.
- At Toy Town, Stacey sees a woman with a large coat and a man with a leather backpack browsing, and thinks they could be shoplifters.
- Jessi's manager at the movie theatre tells her that he thinks someone might be sleeping there at night.
- The mall police arrest a group of teenagers right after one of them steals another Gamester from Toy Town. Everyone expects the shoplifting problem to stop now that they've been caught.
- When the girls go to talk to the mall manager, Mr. Morton, about their idea for a daycare center (see "Other plot information" below), Kristy mentions that she'd seen him on the security tapes talking to some kids and assumed they were his, but he says he doesn't have kids. Mr. Morton okays the daycare center immediately.
- The shoplifting problem is still rampant, but it's mostly limited to either small items, such as toiletries, food and kids' clothes, or large, expensive items that are being taken during the night by someone who knows how to avoid the security cameras.
- One day at work, Stacey goes into the stockroom and finds a man in a red ski mask there. He runs out, pulling off his mask as he enters the mall, and security is unable to catch him.
- Logan says that someone was cooking during the night at Casa Grande, and Kristy found some toothpaste in a mall bathroom. They realize that it seems like someone is living at the mall, and conclude that it's probably the three blonde kids. Kristy realizes that they were the kids she saw talking to Mr. Morton on the security cameras.
- Stacey remembers an article she read recently that said the mall was in serious financial trouble. They go to the library to do research and find that Mr. Morton took over as manager recently, that the mall had hosted a lot of community events and benefits lately, and, later, that it had been losing money and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
- While the girls are working at the mall, someone pulls a fire alarm. Directly afterward, Kristy sees the blonde kids running by the security camera and looking scared. She later remembers that before the alarm was pulled, she saw Mr. Morton walk by the area, looking upset.
- In the two days after the alarm is pulled, nobody has seen the blonde kids at the mall.
- Gang of teenagers: Security is sure they're the culprits, and after they're arrested, a lot of the shoplifting at places like the toy store and bookstore does stop.
- Blonde kids: If they are living at the mall, it makes sense that they'd steal stuff like toiletries that they'd need.
- Mr. Morton: Just seems suspicious. Very jumpy when Kristy asked him about the kids, and all the mall's financial trouble started after he was put in charge.
Stacey realizes that Mr. Morton was so eager to do stuff for the community that he said yes to everyone, without considering the impact to the mall's finances. He covered up his mistakes by misappropriating mall funds, but when he couldn't do that anymore, he started stealing expensive items, which explains how the culprit could get into the stockrooms and avoid the security cameras. He also had people working for him. Mary Anne guesses that the kids might have discovered Mr. Morton's activities, making everyone worried about how they haven't seen the kids lately.
Most of the BSC rushes to the mall, where they eventually find the kids. The kids explain that their mom's been in the hospital and they ran out of money for the rent and bills, so they have been living at the mall and stealing what they needed. They confirm that they found out that Mr. Morton was stealing, and he had threatened them, which is why they pulled the fire alarm to escape and find new hiding places while everyone was evacuated. The BSC calls the police, who interview the kids about their story. Mr. Morton is arrested, a new manager is put in place, and the kids are able to return to living with their now-recovered mother.

- Logan: The take-out counter for Casa Grande, in the food court.
- All of the sitters notice parents leaving their children alone in stores or at the food court while the parents do their shopping, and they decide a day-care center would be a great addition to the mall. Mr. Morton, the mall manager, approves the idea and gives them a deal on a storefront in the food court. Working with their bosses and other mall employees, the BSC helps to design, paint and put together the center.
- For the duration of Project Work, the BSC cuts its regular meetings to one a week (since they'll be working on Mondays and Wednesdays) and Shannon, who's replaced Dawn as the club's Alternate Member, steps in to answer phones and take on more sitting jobs.

- Claudia (on the way to the mall to paint the day-care center): "a neon-pink bandana around her head; a humongous pair of overalls over an ancient striped T-shirt."
- When Stacey meets her new teacher, Mr. Withum, she says that from his name, she expected "a kind of shriveled, gray-haired man," but he turns out to be plump and cheerful. This is pretty similar to her misconceptions based on Wesley Ellenburg's name in #65, Stacey's Big Crush.
- Kristy and Logan take turns sitting next to Mary Anne on the bus to and from the mall.

Gatineau to release 20 million litres of untreated sewage into the Lièvre River
Our director of operations in Quebec, Adele Michon, met the mayor of Gatineau and his infrastructure service team this morning to discuss a planned sewage release in the east end of the City in Buckingham/Masson-Anger. The release of untreated sewage will begin on Monday and may last until Wednesday. The release site is just upstream from where the Lièvre flows into the Ottawa River.
The City of Gatineau is releasing untreated sewage into the Lievre River while they do much needed maintenance work at one of the pumping station, where corrosion is so advanced that the potential for a pipe burst is significant.
Between October 24-26, every time people in Buckingham/Masson-Anger flush their toilets and wash their dishes or laundry, their polluted water will go straight into the Lièvre River without any filtration or treatment. The City estimates that they will release about 8 olympic size swimming pools worth of raw sewage into the river, however the final volume depends on how much water residents use during the maintenance period. Typical sewage contains pathogens, bacteria, viruses, pharmaceuticals, microplastics, nutrients and organic matter that consumes oxygen when released into water.
Spill Details:
Spill duration: 48h
Pumping station located on Chemin du Quai in the Masson-Angers sector
From 24 to 26 October 2016
Area affected:
All residents of Buckingham and Masson-Angers
Ottawa River users from Cumberland to Rockland
Gatineau City info: http://www.gatineau.ca/portail/default.aspx?p=la_ville/travaux_station_pompage_quai
Our Reaction
Ottawa Riverkeeper is not happy to learn that there will be over 20,000 m3 of untreated sewage released into the Lievre and Ottawa Rivers. This is not good news for the river. However, after meeting with the City of Gatineau about the planned spill, we understand that the city is in a difficult position for which there are no reasonable alternatives.
Old, failing water infrastructure with limited capacity means that the cheapest and most feasible solution for dealing with sewage during maintenance is often a scheduled release directly into the river. To prevent spills, there is an immediate need for significant investment in municipal water infrastructure – something we have been aware of for decades. Especially given future climate predictions, our water collection systems must include built-in redundancy and added capacity in order to eliminate all raw sewage releases into our water bodies. When untreated sewage is discharged into rivers, it comprises the health of the aquatic ecosystem and our ability to use the river to swim, drink and fish.
We do not believe cities should be allowed to dump raw sewage into rivers. Unfortunately, there is no legal mechanism to prevent spills like this from taking place. In Canada, a planned sewage spill of this size is perfectly legal and requires no advanced permit. Crazy, right?
In the recent past, such planned raw sewage releases were common and unnoteworthy to most. However, the times are changing and people are demanding we stop treating our rivers like sewers. We saw that last November when Montreal's "Flushgate" drew national attention. We are taking notice of a recent societal shift, recognizing how Canadians value our lakes, rivers and oceans. Most people in this country want rivers where we can safely swim, drink and fish!
We are thankful the City of Gatineau called Ottawa Riverkeeper to a meeting to inform us and other local interest groups about the spill. We welcome this transparency and spirit of collaboration and hope that it becomes a regular habit to notify the public about sewage spills when they happen.
What Can You Do?
Citizens in Buckingham/Masson-Anger can help reduce the volume of raw sewage spilled by minimizing household water use at home on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Octobre 24 to 26). Together, residents could reduce by 50% the amount of sewage dumped into the river, from 20 million liters to 10 million litres.
Please consider reducing your water footprint:
- Avoid doing laundry for a few days (or get it all done by Sunday night)
- Wait until your dishwasher is completely full before you run it
- Use natural alternative when washing and cleaning around the house
Getting involved is an important step to improve our rivers' health. Please reach out to the City of Gatineau (your councillor and mayor) and thank them for telling us about the planned spill. Then, let them know you want notifications every time the city releases untreated sewage into our rivers. That includes notice of combined sewer spills and spills from the sewage treatment plant during times of heavy rain. Citizens have the right to know, after all, the river belongs to all of us.

be sure to check for evidence of mortality among mussels (fresh shells) downstream of the site after the spill
I live on the river and take my water through a sand point well. This is totally unacceptable. Anybody who made this decision want to come take a glass of water or have a shower from my house? What a stupid thing to do. What about treating it like an oil spill, picking up the debris and then dumping it into a legal dump site? I was just speaking to a friend in Buckingham and he wasn't notified, I'm sure that's the norm. Not everyone gets this paper. What the heck is the matter with the decision makers that makes any type of dumping into the/any waterways acceptable? What about the people who will be drinking this water or bathing in it that haven't been notified? 2 days notice in a paper …….really? SHAME
How irresponsible. how you treat our water
Itrust tjat the outcome of tjos decision will be in their water gladses at the table of their next meetings.
This is insane and ridiculously disgusting. So much for being a first world country, might as well just go take a shit in the Ottawa river. Goddamn this city is awful. I mean Ottawa is well known for Doing this virtually everytime it rains, their is a reason why the beaches here have ecoli warnings. If this is a constantly occurring problem you think they would try to find a way to fix it as opposed to letting nature to the brute force of our inability to cope with rain……
This article actually makes me hate living in a city. Modern and civilized my ass. Even the Victorians figured out a way to stop dumping shit into the Thames.
And Quebecers have the nerve to the block pipelines through their province but will blatantly dump sewage in a healthy river? What the hell!
These are the same people that oppose Canadian Pipelines, Canadian technology and Canadian jobs …
Nice skid mark Quebec!
We cripple our economy with carbon taxes for a theory that has proven inaccurate and unnecessary but polute our water with sewage over and over again.
Our government is out of touch with reality.
These are the people who don't want a pipeline because of possible pollution yet will dump untreated sewage with all its pathogens into what used to be a clean river. Amazing.
why are they allowed to do this when there are other alternatives available like mobile sewage treatment plants that could handle the waste till the plant rebuild was completed
This should not be allowed! Their old equipment should have been dealt with years ago, sticking their heads in the toilet didn't make the old machinery NEW. Infrastructure is expense, they needed to stay on top of it, now they want to pass the shit to us by dumping raw sewage in the rivers, No, No, No. they get enough money from the government, like all other provinces, deal with it, and solve the problem without dumping!!
This is absolute b.s. Complete hypocrisy coming out of the east again.
20000m3 is used so it doesn't seem so bad to Quebecers, let's try this out 20,000,000 litres raw sewage to mix into your water table, and that also with water tables down stream. There should be a plan to capture, clean, treat, and release as fresh water. But I know it's easier to just dump into the river and forget.
Personally, I would place act such as this a far greater danger to our environment than the 'climate warming, ' which is getting so much coverage (and, of course, is a tax grab) and a verbal sleigh ride for political gain.
Dumping raw sewage into rivers and lakes is totally illegal in the USA. Shame on Canada!
This is fucking insane! Destroy our waterways because we are too lazy to figure out other alternatives?! The fact that this is not illegal, let alone unethical, is unbelievable! Gather privately owned pumping trucks and have them bring it to a remote field where leaching into underground water veins wouldn't be so bad. It doesn't take a nuclear physicist to figure it out.
After that, our government needs to periodically pump OUT the existing water from the Ottawa River and purify it on an ongoing basis, so the people of Ottawa can enjoy nature, and be proud to live around it, in their city.
Members of parliament all have the luxury of buying extravagant cottages in distant corners of Ontario and Quebec, without worries of the bodies of water in front of so many people who cannot get away to better aquatic environments. Shame on them, and shame on us for allowing it to happen.
With the indulgent over-use of our potable water in all major cities, it won't be long before we have none left. And then what? Politicians will make empty promises about trying to resurrect a cause that can't be saved. I'm embarrassed to call myself an inhabitant of nature. We are all merely slaves of our own natural, catastrophic demise.
This is absolutly disgusting to think that Quebec
Just dumps raw sewage and probably any thing
else they want. What realy gets me is there are thousands if not tens of thousands of people living along and near the river. Whats wrong with the provincial and federal governments they all suck.
how can you label this a SPILL ?? a spill is an unplanned event.. this city is pre-planning to pump sewage into the fresh water system ..as a cost saving measure !!! after spending 25 years in the oil and gas industry and seeing heavy govt fines to companies for the exact same sewage "spill" really makes me wonder there are laws for the people and laws for the law enforcers …
Where are all the environmental protesters that hound the oil and gas exportation? as this "spill" (20,000,000 liters is most likely down played estimate at best … but I guess the protesters are not paid to go after anything but Canadian exports of oil and gas as surely any true believer in environmental stewardship would be on this in bus loads …
Quebec is the only province that does not participate in the Canadian Heritage Rivers System. Doing this a couple of months following the "Heritage Designation" of the Ottawa river says a lot about their twisted sense of value for the environment. Shame on you… disgusting.
This is brilliant and it happens way too often. Case in point, every 3 years the municipality forces me to have my septic system pumped and disposed of by Chelsea or Gatineau. The bill costs 400$ every three years! So city takes my money and then decides that it can't deal with that much dirty water that it dumps it in the river!? Are you kidding me!? My septic system was way more environmentally friendly then this. What's the world coming too!

First Single "Shiny One" Available Now. On May 4, Belly return with DOVE, their first full length album release in 23 years. The album was recorded and produced and recorded by band member Tom Gorman alongside longtime friend of the group Paul Q. Kolderie (Hole, Throwing Muses, Radiohead). Today, the band shared "Shiny One," the first single to be released from the forthcoming album.
Stream "Shiny One" via YouTube: https://youtu.be/YH14dKCsLxM
DOVE is now available for pre-order and includes an instant download of "Shiny One."
"I have a lot of affection for 'Shiny One,'" says Tanya Donelly. "It was the first completely collaborative song we've ever done – Gail wrote the riff and the chorus, Tom and I wrote the verse and bridge, Chris's parts shaped the direction and vibe. When I hear it, I hear all four of us equally."
Belly, who formed in 1991, is Tanya Donelly (guitar, vocals), Tom Gorman (guitar), Chris Gorman (drums), and Gail Greenwood (bass). The band released their gold-certified critically-acclaimed debut album Star in 1993, which spawned the alternative radio and MTV staple "Feed The Tree" and led to Grammy nominations for Best Alternative Music Album and Best New Artist. In 1995, Belly released their sophomore album King and toured extensively behind the album before dissolving in 1996. Over the next two decades, the members stayed close while pursuing their own creative paths before the idea of a Belly reunion gained serious traction just a few years ago.
In 1995, Belly released their sophomore album King and toured extensively behind the album before dissolving in 1996. Over the next two decades, the members stayed close while pursuing their own creative paths before the idea of a Belly reunion gained serious traction just a few years ago.
"We had just gotten to the point where we were just missing each other, and missing the music," says Donelly. "The music I've been doing in the past several years has been very collaborative, which made me kind of homesick for Belly; I missed that sense of having a band."
The songs that comprise DOVE were spun out of a new songwriting system that was necessitated by the four members' far-flung hometowns. "It required a lot of trust," says Donelly, "because we were sending raw snippets to each other – anything from 30-second pieces to full songs. Tom and Gail and I would send demos back and forth, and then Chris would add drums to whatever snippets he'd heard, and Tom would sew everything together. It would sometimes be a very circuitous route to a song, but it was really fun."
"All three of the songwriters were locked in and working in a way that complemented the others' strengths," says Chris Gorman. "Gail's writing was in top form. Tanya is able to make anybody's song her own—she's got that gift. And Tom has really honed his arrangement and production style."
Belly will launch their first major tour since 1995 later this year. Find a full list of tour dates at http://bellyofficial.com/. "We're all looking forward to presenting these songs in a live setting, and having the opportunity to play together again," says Chris Gorman. "We should be in for a really exciting year."

Welcoming Communities: Cooking for Community
Written by Kathryn Clark, Program Facilitator with TDSB Newcomer Services – Welcoming Communities.
Welcoming Communities is back with more soup for the soul… and the stomach! This week, we're highlighting some amazing things happening at Fraser Mustard Early Learning Academy, and its neighbour, Thorncliffe Park Public School.
Most people recognize that getting parents involved in their child's school community can be very important, and many parents would love to find more ways to "connect". When the relationship between the school and the families is positive, the chances of the students being more engaged and succeeding increase too. And what is one great way to strengthen communication and form bonds? Over food, of course!
Recently, the Newcomer Services – Welcoming Communities staff started a Community Kitchen program at Fraser Mustard, inviting parents to join a culinary consultant in making dumplings from scratch. In chef Susan's words, "Dumplings came foremost to mind, for their soul food prominence in many cultures and diversity in flavours, textures, cooking styles and traditional importance." With a diverse family community, the Community Kitchen is a wonderful way for families to come together, share stories, and try new foods.
Susan's post on the wonderful event, including the dumpling recipes, can be found on her website, Susan's Savour-It.
In addition to the Community Kitchen, Fraser Mustard also hosts a PALS program over lunch. The PALS initiative gives the older elementary students at Thorncliffe Park the chance to act as mentors and activity-leaders for the 650 kindergarten students at Fraser Mustard (yes, 650!). For students who sometimes have trouble getting to school, the opportunity to develop leadership skills, and be recognized for their commitment, is a great motivator.
The PALS program, along with special guest workshops on mindfulness, and trips to the Hillcrest Outdoor Education School, are helping students connect to their school community and have a stronger sense of belonging.
Other tips on helping kids to get the most out of their school experience can be found here: https://www.care.com/c/stories/3191/10-ways-to-get-kids-to-love-school/
