text: Adding a little prog and pop to indie rock, Portland, OR's Kaddisfly steered clear of the popular trends of their day and released the powerful EP Honorable Mention in 2001. Another EP, Humania, appeared a year later and was followed in 2003 by their first full-length, Did You Know People Can Fly? Buy Our Intention; We'll Buy You a Unicorn from 2005 found the band -- vocalist/pianist Chris Ruff, guitarist Aaron Tollefson, bassist Kile Brewer, drummer Beau Kuther, and guitarist/percussionist Kelsey Kuther -- on the Hopeless label. Fall 2006's EP The Four Seasons (released digitally and in a limited run through Hopeless) served as a precursor to the gang's next full-length, Set Sail the Prairie, released in early March 2007. Kaddisfly also spent the first part of the year as part of the Take Action Tour alongside the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Emery, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, and more. ~ David Jeffries

Many clients who converted traditional IRAs into Roths last year with an eye toward higher taxes in 2013 may now want to unwind those conversions. Because these clients could not predict the exact impact of the conversion until they calculated last year's taxes, some of these conversions may no longer make financial sense.
If this is the case, you still have time to help your clients undo these Roth conversions and eliminate the corresponding tax liability, but the decision must be made quickly because the Oct. 15 deadline for recharacterizing Roth conversions is fast approaching.
Initial Motivations for Converting to a Roth
The primary factor that motivated conversions to Roth IRAs in recent years has been the prospect of higher ordinary income tax rates in 2013. Funds contributed to a traditional IRA are contributed pre-tax today, but are taxed at ordinary income rates when they are eventually withdrawn. Conversely, funds contributed to a Roth are taxed today and withdrawn tax-free. For clients who expect to stay in the same tax bracket, paying the tax at 2011 or 2012 rates was a smart move because of the anticipated tax hikes in 2013.
Why Recharacterize a Roth Conversion?
Despite the substantial tax benefits that come with Roth IRAs, there are plenty of reasons why a client might want to undo a conversion and transfer funds into a traditional IRA.
If your client's Roth IRA performed poorly since it was converted, it might not be worth the taxes that the client continues to owe in 2012, even though the value of the account decreased. For example, if a client in the 35% tax bracket converted $100,000 into a Roth IRA in 2011, and the account depreciated in value to $70,000 (albeit quite a drop), the client will owe taxes on the $100,000 that he converted, even though the account is now worth much less. The client would probably want to recharacterize the Roth IRA and move the funds back into a traditional IRA to avoid the tax hit. He can always try again by converting the funds in 2012 (and recharacterize in 2013 if necessary).
A client who has unexpectedly jumped into a higher tax bracket may want to recharacterize a Roth conversion because keeping the conversion means that he must pay the taxes on the account value this year at a higher than anticipated rate. Clients who had unexpected expenses in 2012 and simply cannot afford to make the tax payment today can also recharacterize the funds and defer the tax liability to a later date. Mechanics of the Recharacterization
It is important that clients who recharacterize a Roth IRA do so correctly. The client can choose to recharacterize only a portion of the Roth IRA, but the amount recharacterized must be transferred to the traditional IRA in a trustee-to-trustee transfer (meaning that the client cannot receive a check for the funds transferred because they are directly transferred to the IRA custodian).
The client also must file an amended tax return reflecting the recharacterization by the Oct. 15 deadline in order to reverse the tax liability under the conversion.
While converting to a Roth in 2012 remains a smart move for many clients, advisors should examine the results of any conversion because of the uncertainty accompanying that initial conversion. The option of undoing the conversion and trying again for next year is a valuable part of the Roth conversion strategy and could save your clients thousands in taxes.

Much to drool over at ATA
By Babe Winkelman
Send a link to a friend
01, 2014]
I just flew in from Nashville, and boy, are my
arms tired. Seriously! I was at the 2014 ATA Show and my arms are
fatigued from shooting all those bows! The Archery Trade Association
Show is an annual event where the finest manufacturers in the
archery industry gather to show off what's new for the upcoming
I attended, as I do every year, because I just can't
get enough of the gear and gadgets that feed my passion for
bowhunting. I especially need a dose of this stuff during the
offseason, just so I can keep my sanity until September, when I can
get another crack at a giant whitetail (I know there are a lot more
critters a hunter can get with a bow, but whitetail deer will always
have my heart).
In addition to walking the aisles at ATA and seeing innovative
new products, the gathering is a wonderful place to catch up with
old friends and trade stories. No matter where you were in Nashville
during the show, whether on the floor or at a nearby restaurant, you
could overhear constant conversations revolving around harvesting
animals with an arrow. I just love the level of passion that us
bowhunters have.
Among the countless new things out there that will make you a
more successful bowhunter, I just have to tell you about some of the
stuff I saw, tried out and learned about. One that stands out is the
new Rage 3-Blade Broadhead with Kore Technology. You've never seen a
meaner looking broadhead in your life! It starts its devastating
cutting journey immediately on impact with a 0.5-inch cutting tip;
then the blades deploy for a 1.75-inch cutting diameter.
That'll be one killer broadhead out at the end of a Victory VAP
shaft this fall. I swung by their booth at ATA and was so impressed
with their approach to arrow and bolt manufacturing. Victory is now
part of Aldila, which has been the leader in carbon shaft technology
since the beginning. They make all their own carbon fiber materials
and have 100 percent control over the entire arrow-building process.
For no-fail perfection in arrows, they have it mastered.
[to top of second column]
For the other end of the arrow, and where it's legal in states
that allow them, I always prefer a lighted nock to help me see the
shot, spot the arrow on a pass-through or track the arrow in low
light as a deer runs off with it. Lighted nocks can often make the
difference in recovering an animal. Nockturnal has a strong, bright,
reliable nock that's priced really nice for all bowhunters.
No trip to ATA is complete without shooting some bows and
crossbows. Wow, the innovations that these guys come up with year
after year are astounding. With the way these weapons shoot, you
wonder how they can get any better. Sometimes the technology is
honed from age-old traditional design, which is very much the case
with an Excalibur Crossbow I shot. It was the new Matrix 405 Mega,
and boy, was it fast! This crossbow uses traditional recurve limbs
versus a compound design, for added dependability and the
elimination of tuning issues. After a few shots with that
dart-thrower, I decided that if anything stepped out within range,
it would be in big trouble!
I could go on and on about all the other neat things that will be
in bowhunters' hands for the 2014 season. Make no mistake: They will
up the odds of every archer who ventures into the autumn woods. If
you're anything like me, I can't wait!
Good hunting.

Spending Wisely
It cost us $1.4 billion dollars to make sure that the Republican and Democratic National Conventions finish securely. I don't understand why we spent all that money to protect the people we would most like to see killed by terrorists.
These are the same two-faced jerks who risk the lives of our family members in Kabul and Baghdad and they should have been willing to risk their own in New York and Boston. $1.4 billion dollars is more than the combined salary of every American soldier serving in Iraq for an entire year. I don't think we should try to kill our politicians, but to save that kind of money, that's a risk I'm willing to take.
Think about all the amazing stuff we could buy. I know we need politicians, but can't we do better? Let's take the first half of the money and genetically engineer better politicians. Politicians that can fly, and shoot laser beams out of their eyes, and when they do have extra-marital affairs, at least let it be with hot chicks. This is America! Our politicians should be hooking up with the hottest interns our colleges have to offer.
Then, let's invest 300 million dollars in our education system, because if we don't spend it on education now, we're going to have to spend it on prisons later. The number one contributing factor to crime in America is dumbass. I recently heard this great story from Arkansas (coincidence, I'm sure) where a man was arrested for robbing a convenience store while wearing a hat with his name printed on the front. If I were the cops, I'd think that was pretty convenient.
I know that 300 million dollars isn't near enough to solve all the stupidity in America, so we have to spend it wisely. We use the money to solve our education and crime problems in one master stroke. We take all our worst criminals and sentence them to the worst punishment imaginable. We send them back to high school.
What criminal in his right mind would ever risk that kind of humiliation? Solitary is nothing when you're being stuffed in a locker five days a week. You think it's tough eating prison food while ignoring your cellmate's advances? Try having Delores the lunch lady serve up a hearty portion of steak-ums, tater tots, and cigarette ash while the cool table ignores you. Anal rape got you down? How about showing up to your prom stag after spending a year's worth of lawn mowing money on a tux, limo, and flowers for some bitch who forgot she said yes to another guy.
We'll also see unprecedented graduation rates among students that draw Lester The Molester as a lab partner. There's no better incentive to pay attention in class than having your future sitting at the desk next to you.
Then there's the problems of America's farms. Do you know what farm subsidies are? That's when we pay farmers not to grow food. That makes as much sense as paying the homeless not to eat. We are paying farmers to grow less food in a world where millions of people are starving. If only there a way to solve both problems! Here's an idea: we spend 100 million buying food from the farmers and giving it to the hungry people. This also solves a third problem, by creating a world where that over-fed guilt-tripper Sally Struthers is banished from late night TV once and for all. For just the price of a cup of coffee per day, she can shut her pie hole and let me watch South Park.
And we haven't even touched gas prices. Two dollars a gallon? For that price, a tank should come with a massage and a happy ending. You know why we don't use wind and sun and water to power our cars? Because it's not profitable for Mobil. If renewable energy sources were as profitable as oil, we'd all be driving wind mills and flying solar panels while Exxon cleans our oceans instead of coloring them.
If we had god's Mastercard we couldn't make a dent in Mobil's business plan. So let's take 200 million dollars to hire one lawyer for oil company executive that makes more than me, which is every oil company executive, not to mention a good portion of the mailroom. These lawyers will fine the company $20 every time they treat the American consumer like a drunken cheerleader. And since that IS their business plan, we'll have enough money to buy the oil companies, shut them down and pursue an energy policy that – get this - makes sense. We will finally stop getting screwed by the oil companies and re-assert our constitutional right to get screwed by the government, like the founding fathers intended.
So we've only got 100 million dollars left. Let's take half of that bribe MTV to never air another episode of Newlyweds. And with the final fifty million, we go to Vegas, baby, and put our last fifty million dollars on black six. Why black six? Because George Bush would hate that. Six, being the number of times Jenna has passed out at a keg party, and black representing black people, who will not be voting for Bush in this election. I'm kidding, Colin Powell will. I'm still kidding, he's white.
Maybe we'll lose the money – if we do, we already did a lot of good with what we had. But if we happen to win, that's another $1.8 billion dollars to play with. And we'll use it to support our military, by spending it all on a team of super soldiers. But we don't use them to invade other countries - we send them to hunt down Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, and cancel those morons once and for all.
"Oh my gawd Nick, it's like, the army and stuff! Oh, I love a man in uniform."
"Bang. Bang."
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you world peace.

Web of Benefit's grants help abused women start over
- Published in Lifestyle
Boston (CNN) -- Johanna Crawford was volunteering for a domestic violence shelter in 2003 when she answered a hot line call she will never forget.
On the other end of the line was a petrified woman who had just arrived in town after fleeing her husband. She said he had abused her physically and emotionally for years.
The woman had her two young children with her, along with two trash bags that carried all their belongings.
"They had gotten on the first bus out of town, and here they were," Crawford said. "They knew nobody. And we had a bed (at the shelter), we had a room. So I picked her up."
The woman didn't have a dollar to her name. And because she left so fast, she didn't have identification or her children's birth certificates -- things that she would need to start her new life.
"She did not legally exist," Crawford said. "She could not get food stamps. She could not get welfare. She could not sign up for health care. She could not get counseling. And (she had) no hope of ever getting housing."
The woman needed $40 to get the documents she needed. Crawford decided to help.
"It is totally forbidden for staff or volunteers to give clients money. But I've never been very good with rules, so ... I gave her the two $20 bills," she said.
Crawford gave her a third $20 for mailing expenses and told the woman to treat her kids to McDonald's with the leftovers.
"She was blown away," Crawford said. "And I was thinking, 'I just changed a life -- three lives and many generations of lives, perhaps -- with $40.' And it felt great."
A year later, Crawford founded Web of Benefit, a nonprofit that awards grants to female survivors of domestic violence. The grants, which average $500, allow each recipient to take the first step into her new life.
Some women use the grants toward a security deposit on an apartment. Others buy a computer to access online education and job postings. Grants also help pay for child care, transportation or materials to start small businesses.
"These women (need) to know that they deserve their dream and have the power to create it," said Crawford, 65.
In the United States, 74% of female domestic violence victims have stayed with an abuser for economic reasons, according to the Mary Kay Foundation.
"There is a reality that women go back to abusers because ... the financial hardship is horrific," Crawford said. "What they have left is shattered dreams. ... It (takes) about six months to have the stability and the emotional and psychological well-being to be able to take the next step toward the rest of their lives."
That was the case for Suzie, who sought an order of protection and later a divorce from her husband after months of sexual and physical abuse after her immigration.
CNN Hero Johanna Crawford
"I couldn't speak any English," said Suzie, whose real name is being withheld to protect her identity. "I was just lost. I had no money. I had nothing. I couldn't see the future.
"When I met Johanna, I was so happy. She said she would help me to buy materials and the sewing machine I needed (to) create a small platform for myself, which made me so grateful."
Women are referred to Crawford's group by advocates at dozens of shelters and agencies that serve the survivor community. This ensures that the first and most strictly held grant requisites are met: that the applicant has been free of her abuser and any substance abuse for at least six months.
Applicants and their advocates complete what Crawford calls a "dream proposal," which is the description of the survivor's ideal life. Crawford then meets with each applicant to help her lay out the plan for how to achieve that life, identifying each of the steps required.
Crawford oversees each grant personally, delivering the money directly toward the item, program, school, hospital or landlord it will pay. In all, she has given more than 1,000 grants totaling more than $600,000 to women in Boston, where Web of Benefit is based, and Chicago, where the nonprofit has expanded.
Most of the group's funding comes from private individuals and foundations. Crawford has also put in a lot of her own money.
As a child, she experienced domestic violence in her own home, and she said she once witnessed her father nearly kill her mother. She and her older brother managed to stop the attack, and the family was able to separate from him.
"(My mother) was lucky that she was financially OK, because at that stage, there were no shelters," Crawford said. "Had he kicked us out of the house, we would have been homeless."
Grant recipients in Web of Benefit are required to complete three good works to support other survivors like themselves. Recipients help one another with things such as child care, job training, career guidance and transportation, growing the "web of benefit" community exponentially.
Suzie has already taught another survivor how to sew, a skill she used to build her thriving tailor business.
"Watching Johanna," Suzie said, "made me realize I should be a person who not only receives help but someone that can pay it forward. A person that helps others in need, like how I needed Johanna."
Crawford says she hopes her efforts to empower women can ultimately help stop the cycle of violence.
"One woman can make a difference," she said. "But women working together can change the world."

|This multi-sited, inter-disciplinary project analyzes the ubiquitous practice within breaking (or b-boying) culture of cyphering—improvisational and competitive dance circles. Through oral histories, participant observation, and live performance and archival analysis across the U.S. and parts of Europe from 2005 to 2009, this work focuses on the unseen elements of cyphers, sometimes manifesting as cultural knowledge, the import of history, or cypher "energy". In exchanges between dancers and in relationship to the surrounding spectators, cyphers cultivate a force that becomes their defining characteristic. While described in a number of ways—such as highs, spiritual connection, or energy—the physics concept of dark matter acts as an umbrella for its unseen, multi-dimensional, and material influences. Dark matter is the non-luminous material glue that holds together galaxies and "appears" only by way of its gravitational influence on surrounding visible matter. This project considers the multiple dimensions of competitive collaborations in relation to other collectivities, including diaspora and notions of the global. As cyphers perform multi-racial and transnational connection though movement, they act as resources to consider ideas of the whole that are attuned to internal differentiation and conflicting interests, particularly with respect to race and national difference.; Chapter One examines the brief history, and the layers of meaning apparent in the unseen qualities of a single cypher. Chapter Two explores the changing cultural context of b-boying such that past historicizations of movement become a part of current struggles over cultural meaning. Battles remind us that the whole of b-boying is constituted through difference, akin to "rhizomatic" relations. Chapter Three compares the multiple depictions of the cypher's dark matter to similar forces within other African diasporic circles, demonstrating the overlapping cultural influences on b-boying movement and practices. Chapter Four examines the racial discourse on breaking in '80s media and in the contemporary moment among breakers in relationship to ideas of the dance's "universal appeal." Chapter Five provide thick descriptions of different field experiences, illustrating dimensions unaddressed in earlier analyses. Chapter Six examines b-boying as a social movement, wherein the virtual expansion of cyphering demands we consider global connection in a different manner.

GREENLAND — It's not just pies, but they sure are the icing on the cake.
Attendees to the 22nd annual Craft Fair and Pie Festival will be offered numerous flavors of mouth-watering pies as well a variety of local crafts and homemade meals.
The event, hosted by the Greenland Women's Club, will be held Sunday at Greenland Central School from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
More than 100 crafters will have a variety of unique products, and each vendor will submit one of their crafts into the raffle.
Each person who enters the festival will be given a raffle ticket. After filling it out they will be entered to win a $100 VISA gift card.
With more than 45 women in their club, putting the pie festival together is an event all in itself, according to member Barbara Fleming.
"It's a very social time for the folks who are baking," Fleming said. "It's like a little assembly line."
For the festival this year 550 pies will be baked by club members.
The lineup includes apple (fresh and frozen), apple crumb, blueberry (fresh and frozen), burgundy (blueberry and raspberry), 5 fruit (apple, blueberry, rhubarb, strawberry and raspberry), pumpkin, pecan, Kentucky bourbon, Toll House and fudge brownie.
"Every year we ask ourselves if we are making too many," member Alison Mann said. "And every year we always see a huge line."
A highlight at this year's festival will be the food served at the cafe.
Mann said the food at most craft fairs such as fried dough and greasy pizza is unhealthy. She said in order to solve that, the festival will be serving high-quality, healthy, homemade food.
"As part of what we're doing here in giving back to the community we have nutritious, well-prepared food made from scratch," Mann said.
One example being cooked in the cafe was a curry butternut squash soup, made entirely from scratch.
Mann added the high quality food was drawn from her experience working at The Wellington Room in Portsmouth under the previous owners.
"There's so much excitement for people wanting to eat better and healthier," Mann said. "Our club is striving to provide that service and really get that word out."
Many of the members working Friday night masking pies and other goodies have grown up with the festival.
Alexandra Genimatas, of Greenland, had attended and helped with previous pie festivals.
"I'm glad to help out and do what I like to do," Genimatas said. "It's kind of like a family affair."
Nine-year-old Serena Gerome, was helping with cracking eggs and getting measurements for the ingredients.
"I've always enjoyed cooking," Gerome said. "I like helping out with my mom."
Fleming added members of the group anticipate making the pies.
"It's something people look forward to," Fleming said.
Fleming said the process of making the pies and setting up for the festival can be hard work but is something they're getting used to.
"It's getting easier and easier every year to get everything together," Fleming said. "I think we've got the science of it down."

President Obama declared May of this year National Foster Care Awareness Month. In Philadelphia in 2012 more than 4,000 children under the age of 21 were provided for by the state's foster care program, according to Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children.
One of those young individuals raised in the program from when she was 11 until she aged out of the system at 18 is Constance Krebs, whose biological family lived in Mt. Airy for eight generations until Krebs moved to Abington within the past year.
Krebs, 29, is a co-founding chair of the Pennsylvania Chapter of Foster Care Alumni of America (FCAA), a group dedicated to promoting awareness and continuing support for foster care, both alumni and current members. The Pennsylvania chapter was officially established this March.
"What happens to that person who is 22 and lost her medical benefits from the state and doesn't know how to hold down a job?" Krebs asked rhetorically. "That's where FCAA comes in."
The group is like an extended family. It hosts family picnics and holiday gatherings and keeps foster care brothers and sisters connected with one another and supporters. Members work with youth advocacy and other groups to promote foster care awareness.
"Everyone felt so empowered," said Krebs about her recent visit to the second annual Congressional Caucus on Foster Youth Shadow Day, hosted at the White House in May. Participants were afforded the opportunity to shadow a Congressperson for a day.
Between first and 12th grade, Krebs was in and out of 15 different schools. Now she is a sophomore business student at Gwynedd Mercy College in Lower Gwynedd. One wonders whether she felt empowered or confused or just scared when at age 11 she decided she needed to get out of her chaotic household. She was raised in Mt. Airy, the youngest of five. She attended the Houston School.
Her decision to go into foster care was a joint one she made with her birth mother. Her first experience living with a foster family was in Harleysville in the Souderton school district. "I might as well have been shipped across the country," she said. "You really are thrown into other people's family dynamics, their tradition, their religion."
She stayed for three years. During that time she saw her birth family, sometimes on weekends, other times on holidays. But balancing her biological family and foster family presented a challenge. She didn't want to offend either family. She loved them both.
Krebs was out of foster care at 14 and back in again at 14, and she stayed in the program until she was 18. Her high school history includes Roxborough, Pennsbury and Northampton High Schools. At 18, she was a few credits shy of graduating. But when you're going to high school and studying "at 18 when you're trying to figure out where you're gonna live, it's a lot." Instead, in 2002, Constance earned her GED.
Next Krebs followed her aspirations of event planning and enrolled at The Restaurant School in University City. She left in 2007 a few credits shy of a degree and started working and living in Mt. Airy. She has worked at Avenida Restaurant in Mt. Airy since it opened in 2010.
In May, the FCAA PA Chapter hosted a private screening at Avenida of "The Fosters," a new series from executive producer Jennifer Lopez based on a foster family. Two more screenings are scheduled for June and July at a still to be determined location. The series began June 3 on the ABC Family network.
"In order to sign onto it, we [the local chapter] wanted to know ABC Family was in it for the cause and not just the bottom line," said Krebs. "At the end of the day [the show] promotes awareness."
Sometime last year Krebs had talked with a few foster care alumni and decided they should launch an official Pennsylvania chapter.
FCAA is a non-profit organization founded in 2004. Its mission is to promote opportunities to improve outcomes for alumni of foster care beyond age 18, the typical emancipation age, or even age 25, which is typically considered the upper end of transition age.
Constance has made a significant impact with public speaking engagements, peer education and fundraising efforts since aging out of the foster care system at age 18. She contributes by sharing her knowledge of the social service system in Pennsylvania, as well as lessons learned through her personal experience in child welfare.
She is a member of the Bucks County and Pennsylvania Youth Advisory Boards, the Mayor's Blue Ribbon Commission on Children's Behavioral Health and the Philadelphia Compact Youth Committee, among others, all of which work to improve services for young people in foster care.
Krebs attributes her grit to the women in her family and her 20 foster sisters, and says "all of the women in my life, my mom and my grandmother, were a symbol of strength." She knows her experience in foster care is different than others'. Some kids in the foster care system don't have families to go home to.
"I wouldn't say my family is perfect, but they are there," said Krebs. "They are present … As an adult it's something I can deal with in an appropriate way. As a child I just knew I had to go."

Journal Article
The Influence of Technical, Social and Structural Factors on the Effective use of Information in a Policing Environment pp65-76
© Jan 2005 Volume 2 Issue 1, Editor: Charles Despres, pp1 - 90
Look inside Download PDF (free)
Throughout the world, police services are increasingly adopting a proactive, intelligence‑led approach to crime management. These services operate within environments characterized by firm hierarchy, the command and control paradigm and high social sensitivity. The implementation of strategies for the exploitation of knowledge and information within such environments reveals particular insights into organizational knowledge management. Understanding these issues may be of great value, particularly as despite the commitment to intelligence led policing, the outcomes to date have not met expectations. This paper proposes that social and political issues have the ability to influence knowledge management strategy by drawing upon Pan and Scarbrough's socio‑technical model to show the progression of the intelligence‑led policing philosophy over the past decade.

My name is Bruno Lepore MA, LPC. I am a psychotherapist with a Masters in Clinical Psychology, a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Certified Mediator, and a Certified Critical Incident Debriefing facilitator. I graduated from the University of Houston and I have worked with organizations and individuals to enhance their performance, goal attainment and quality of life. I have worked in a variety of settings, including corporations, non-profit, schools, inter-disciplinary clinics, and private practice. I compassionately use a variety of empirically validated interventions, including EMDR, hypnosis, cognitive-behavior therapy, mindfulness, and acceptance commitment therapy to help patients cope with their problems and crisis. I have a solution oriented, interactive and collaborative approach dedicated to empowering you to make changes that will enhance your life.
This is a book cover for a self help book that I am publishing online. The title of the book is Called Now What? Subtitled A Guide to Changing and Becoming. The book is about the change process, with lots of stories in it from different traditions. Within the book I lay out of format for personal and organizational change, and discuss the difference between fulfillment and success. The book is about finding fulfillment in one's life, but not material attainment of goals. I want the cover to be catchy, and the color to be bold (maybe orange, but I am open to creativity).

Coptic Advocates Demand Action Against Gov't Officials Over Repeated Attacks Against Christians
A prominent advocate for Coptic Christians has condemned the attack on Copts leaving the Virgin Mary Church in Warraq, Giza, following a wedding last week.
The incident left four Copts dead, including a child, and 18 wounded, including three Muslims.
Maspero Youth Union (MYU) called for a protest in front of the Egyptian cabinet to call on the government to try the Minister of the Interior for what they say is his involvement in the repeated attacks on Christian citizens.
MYU's statement released Monday also demanded prosecution of the local security leaders for failing to do their duty in protecting the Virgin Mary Church in Waraq.
It also called for removing all of the Ministry of Interior's leaders associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. They also demanded developing a plan to secure churches and compensate the families of the victims.
The union blamed the government and its president, Dr. Hazem el-Beblawi, for the attacks that have occurred against Copts since the dispersal of the pro-Morsi sit-ins on August 14.
The Copts without Borders Movement issued a statement Monday stressing that the armed attack on the Virgin Mary Church in Warraq was an episode in the systematic terror and violence faced by Christians since the overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The movement demanded the government resign immediately, as "it has proven it's incapable of doing the simplest duties, which are to promote security and protect the lives of innocent people."
"The current government is a key partner in all crimes of violence against Copts, and moral responsibility obliges it to resign," the statement added.
The statement went on to say that security services are doing the best they can to provide protection for the lives of current and former ministers and government officials, but little protection for Copts against terrorist acts targeting Christians and their houses of worship.

The Earliest Group Of Modern Humans To Branch Off Survived Until Just 2,300 Years Ago – h/t mr. robert ford!
Archaeologists unearth remains of oldest Norman ever found which 'fills gap in our knowledge of pre-Neanderthal evolution' – "On a bend of the river Seine near Rouen in Normandy, archaeologists have found the remains of the oldest Norman ever discovered. The three bones from the left arm of a pre-Neanderthal should shed fresh light on a little-known period. In particular, they could help scientists to understand the evolution of the squat, muscular hunters who died out 30,000 to 40,000 years ago, just after the first humans arrived in what is now Europe. The discovery of the bones at Tourville-la-Rivière, 14km south of Rouen, is exceptional because 'this is a period with very few fossils', according to Bruno Maureille, a palaeontologist at the National Centre for Scientific Research. He said the arm bones, dating from 200,000 years ago, in the Middle Pleistocene era, were 'the only known example from northern Europe'."

In Europe, the oldest known cave painting was of a red disk found in a cave in El Castillo, Spain, that has a minimum age of 40,800 years. The earliest figurative painting, of a rhinoceros, was found in the Chauvet Cave in France; it goes back 38,827 years."

Researchers asked if it could treat bladder cancer. Forty-five patients received the drug. Two responded. 'The verdict was, "O.K., I guess everolimus does not work in bladder cancer," ' said Dr. David Solit, the principal investigator. But then there were those two patients — one, in particular. Her cancer had spread to her abdomen. She was expected to live less than a year, and there was no treatment for her. But with everolimus, her tumors disappeared. 'I was at a clinical meeting, and everyone was saying this drug did not work,' Dr. Solit said. 'I said, "It worked for her." ' The investigators found out why. Her cancer had a mutation in a gene that made it dependent on a protein, mTOR, for growth. Everolimus squelches the activity of mTOR. The woman is still taking everolimus, and her cancer has not recurred."

The high heritability of educational achievement reflects many genetically influenced traits, not just intelligence – "Genetic research has shown that intelligence makes a major contribution to the heritability of educational achievement. However, we show that other broad domains of behavior such as personality and psychopathology also account for genetic influence on GCSE scores beyond that predicted by intelligence. Together with intelligence, these domains account for 75% of the heritability of GCSE scores. These results underline the importance of genetics in educational achievement and its correlates." – (because there's more to hbd than just iq!)

The plant uses an essentially random rotation process to assign workers to positions, leading to three types of teams: (a) ethnically homogeneous teams, and teams in which (b) one or (c) both downstream workers belong to a tribe in rivalry with the upstream worker's tribe. I find strong evidence that upstream workers undersupply non-coethnic downstream workers (vertical discrimination) and shift flowers from non-coethnic to coethnic downstream workers (horizontal discrimination), at the cost of lower own pay and total output." – spite! it's so funny. – h/t ben southwood!

I took some time over the weekend to dive into the multitouch APIs on AIR 2 and built a basic example with the Google Maps 3D API. I wired up the out of the box gestures in AIR 2 to some specific manipulations so that it goes beyond the typical move and pinch gestures that most of the multitouch mapping apps use. You can see the YouTube clip below and grab the source over on GitHub to see how easy it is to use the gesture events in AIR 2.
A couple of great places to look for more multitouch info is Christian Cantrell's blog and Matt Legrand's Multitouchup.com. I'm also working on an Android version of the app but there are a couple of kinks to work out.

Wild Card Game at Progressive Field sold out
Indians will host winner of Rays-Rangers tiebreaker game on Wednesday night
CLEVELAND -- With a champagne bottle in hand, Indians first baseman Nick Swisher had one hope as the Tribe prepared to head home to host the American League Wild Card Game on Wednesday night.
"It's been a long time since Cleveland's had something like this," Swisher said amidst Sunday's Wild Card-clinching celebration. "I hope the fans are as excited as we are."
Indians fans have already issued a response.
Shortly after the Tribe's 5-1 victory over the Twins, the Indians announced that Wednesday's AL Wild Card Game, which is scheduled for a first pitch of 8:07 p.m. ET, is sold out of individual tickets. The Indians still have tickets available for potential AL Division Series home games against the Red Sox.
To reach that point, the Indians must first get through either the Rays or Rangers, who will play a tiebreaker game on Monday to determine the second Wild Card team. Given the many scenarios that existed within the past few days, the Indians are grateful to be heading back to Progressive Field.
"It's an extraordinary moment for this franchise," said Paul Dolan, the Indians' chairman and chief executive officer. "To win 92 games and to do it the way they did it with the people who did it, that was great for the franchise and the community. We're thrilled we can bring a playoff game back to Cleveland again."
The Indians announced that there are a limited number of suites remaining for Wednesday's Wild Card Game. Interested fans can call the team's premium seating department at 216-420-HITS on Monday to inquire about those tickets.
Fans can visit indians.com/postseason to obtain available ALDS tickets for Progressive Field games.
Indians fans can still receive priority access to possible AL Championship Series and World Series games in Cleveland by placing a deposit on 2014 season tickets through the team's Playoff Payoff program. More information is available at indians.com/playoffpayoff.
"I don't think you can ever really exhale until the season's over," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "We have an opportunity to keep playing. We'll embrace it and see how we do."

The term "Daylight Savings Time" is generally understood to mean the time when we either set our clocks forward or back one hour, and the 6 month period of time in between these points. Although this term is widely used, the correct term is Daylight Saving Time, and the actual period that is Daylight Saving Time lasts from spring until fall. The period from fall to spring is actually referred to as Standard Time. So as the time approaches for us to fall back to Standard Time on Sunday, November 6, at 2 am, this is a good way to remind ourselves to do some yearly maintenance around the home, such as changing batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, and changing the filters in our furnaces and air conditioning systems, as well as any other filters around the home, such as water filters.
We offered many of these suggestions and tips in our October 24th and November 1st blogs. Some of these bear repeating, such as changing smoke alarm batteries. Changing furnace and air conditioning filters is a good way to ensure the air in your home stays clean and fresh, that your heating or cooling system doesn't use excess energy, and to extend the life of your heating or cooling system. Filters Fast offers a wide selection of furnace filters and air conditioning filters for your home. We also offer water filters for your water purification system, refrigerator, and ice maker.
The approaching time change reminds us all to do those household maintenance tasks that might otherwise go undone. This is also a good time to prepare our homes for the coming winter months. Winterizing is a simple yet effective way to ensure that energy isn't lost through cracks and other escape routes in the home. As Benjamin Franklin said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Taking this time now to ensure our homes are safe, clean, and energy efficient will keep winter outside where it belongs.

In a new feat of what could be considered oversharing, two convicted felons on parole face new charges after streaming themselves shooting guns at an Illinois firing range over Facebook Live, the Evanston Police Department announced in a news release Friday.
Demarcus Curtis, 25, of the 1300 block of Fargo Avenue in Des Plaines, and Nicholas Mayfield, 25, of the 3900 block of West 167th Street, Country Club Hills, both face charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.
Evanston Police say they regularly check social media to keep an eye on "ongoing conflicts" in the north Chicago suburb. On Wednesday an investigator saw Curtis, who was known to police as a gang member on parole, on a Facebook stream at a firing range in Winthrop Harbor with individuals who were firing guns, which is against the law in Illinois due to Curtis' parole status.
U.S. & World
Evanston Police Cmdr. Joe Dugan said gang members often use social media to boast or to antagonize rivals, which can fan the flames of feuds and cause them to become more serious.
Evanston Police contacted Winthrop Harbor Police about the alleged illegal activity being broadcast on the social media platform. When Winthrop Harbor cops arrived at the shooting range, they discovered a second convicted felon, Nicholas Mayfield, who also has Evanston ties and was seen shooting by police. Both men were taken into custody by Winthrop Harbor Police.
"We have had shootings that were started on social media," Dugan said in an email. "Our intel unit monitors social media and have used what they found as evidence in precious cases, but they continue to post."
Winthrop Harbor Police officials were not immediately available for comment.

Paisley dress: Romwe || Faux fur vest: H&M || Concho belt & navajo jewelry: Vintage || Platform boots: Vagabond
Some romantic boho vibes for this Friday - this look is some of my usual spring looks. It's already warm enough to wear dresses outside, but even if the mornings and evenings are still a bit cold a faux fur vest always helps! I'm really digging this gorgeous 70s inspired paisley dress I received from Romwe the other day. On top of that it's made of my favorite fabric: Rayon!

Attack occurred at Disney's Art of Animation resort, deputies say
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Orange County deputies are investigating an attempted sexual battery at Disney's Art of Animation Resort after a worker said a man forced himself on her.
[AUDIO: 911 call released]
Deputies said the woman, who is a housekeeping cast member at the resort, told them the man attempted to sexually batter her March 28 just after 2 p.m.
The victim said she found the door of Room 6526 ajar and when she went in to clean the room, the man attacked her, according to the report.
The victim was able to fight the man off, but received minor scratches to her chest, according to deputies.
The man then fled the area.
Deputies have released a composite sketch of the culprit, who is described as a Hispanic male in his early 30s, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 260 pounds with short dark hair, brown eyes, thin eyebrows, a non-descript tattoo on her upper right arm and a mole on the right side of his face.
The man was wearing a dark-colored ball cap with "NYP" on the front, a white T-shirt with a red Air Jordan logo on the front and khaki shorts, deputies said.
Deputies said there is no surveillance footage and say that the unidentified man has detectives exploring all possible leads.
"I have my husband with me, we feel safe," said one guest from Texas. "We are aware of our surroundings and stuff."
Disney released a statement on Wednesday, saying "We are very focused on the well being of our Cast Member and have been working closely with the Orange County Sheriff's Office to assist their investigation."
Disney continued, saying "providing a safe environment for our Cast and Guests is our highest priority. In addition to our own extensive security team (more than 1,000 Security Cast Members), the Orange County Sheriff's Office has a presence on our property 24 hours a day."
Contact Orange County deputies if you have any information on this incident.

During the Winter Meetings in December, reports emerged that the Twins attempted to extract the 28-year-old Kevin Kouzmanoff from the San Diego Padres by offering the organizationally ostracized lefty Glen Perkins. On paper and in theory, sending a pitcher with major league experience that has a skill set that would play well in the spacious Petco Park in exchange for a player with tools best suited another stadium and on the verge of getting expensive for a bottom-dwelling club appeared like feasible transaction. That pipedream came to an abrupt conclusion on Friday as the Oakland Athletics sent outfielders Scott Hairston and Aaron Cunningham to San Diego for Kouzmanoff and prospect Eric Sogard.
Kouzmanoff, who will be 28 years old in 2010, was far from an ideal piece for the Twins – a fact that I'll touch upon later. Without question, Kouzmanoff represented an upgrade for the Twins in 2010 but would be dubious in the long-term, big picture. Admittedly, obtaining him for a disposable component like Perkins would have been a coup. Even though they were well publicized sellers with few potential buyers, San Diego had a higher sticker price in mind and would not cooperate with the Twins attempted robbery. Even though Oakland's offer was far from a kingly sum, it was a significantly better package than Glen Perkins-for-Kouzmanoff and addressed a glaring need for the Padres.
To be sure, when Padres' GM Jed Hoyer rebuffed Bill Smith's original offering of Perkins, the Twins were realistically all but out of contention for Kouzmanoff. With an overabundance of major-league ready outfielders, the A's had plenty of trading chips to move. This was an offseason requirement that San Diego had to address to help their young pitching staff. Both Hairston and Cunningham allow for Chase Headley to move from the outfield to the vacated third base opening where he is better suited. This alone upgrades their outfield coverage.
Hairston, traded from San Diego to Oakland midseason a year ago, was once viewed as a fast-moving prospect in the Diamondbacks' organization. His tenure at the major league level has been punctuated by substandard plate discipline (career 6.8% walk rate) but with the capability of putting a charge into the ball (career .202 ISOP). Defensively, he's an above average fielder in the corner outfield (although does not have the matching offensive qualifications to be an elite player) and is serviceable in center. Now entering his 30's, the future for Hairston is muddled as his arbitration eligibility status will increase his salary over his reasonable $1.25 million from a year ago. Future cost notwithstanding, Hairston is a short-term but immediate solution to a nagging outfield problem in southern California.
Meanwhile Baseball Prospectus recently compared Cunningham to a right-handed hitting version of Travis Buck, which speaks volumes as is. Essentially, Cunningham is a fairly redundant player with Hairston only several years younger and minus the pop. Like Hairston, Cunningham projects to be an above average defensive corner outfielder (with a questionable arm) but does not come with the necessary prerequisite power supply. What was probably appealing to Hoyer was that he has a quality that neither Hairston nor the majority of the Padres have: the ability to get on base. In his minor league career, Cunningham posted a .382 on-base percentage. This is a tad misleading however. Even though this is a fantastic rate, this number was mostly attributed to an exaggeratedly high batting average on balls in play rather than via walks (a rather average 8.7% walk rate).
Is the Twins farm system equipped with better offerings than the package Oakland sent? Without a doubt. Do any of them come shrink wrapped and ready for major league playing time? No. With the exception of pitching, the Twins do not have a surplus of any players able to contribute at the big league level immediately. And, again, pitching was not San Diego's biggest need. With Kevin Correia, Chris Young, Clayton Richards, Mat Latos, Wade LaBlanc and Sean Gallagher, the Padres had more than enough arms to feel stable for several seasons. How appealing can a routinely injured pitcher with an abysmal strikeout rate be? Certainly not enticing enough to swap for a third baseman of Kouzmanoff's pedigree.
What's more is that at 28-years-old Kouzmanoff is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get finished product. He's got the potential of producing some hefty numbers outside of the suppressive Petco Park environment, yet his development ceiling has been reached. He doesn't walk (career 4.9% walk rate, .308 OBP) and swings at everything. In '09, Kouzmanoff offered at 52% of the total pitches seen, well-above the baseball average of 45%. This component of his game makes him less attractive inserted into the Twins lineup, more so when you consider that he is an infield version of Delmon Young. Furthermore, now that he's reaching arbitration years, he's poised to see an escalating salary. To the Twins who has someone like Danny Valencia near-ready for big league play, investing in a player whose skills are marginally better than the in-house candidate but exponentially more expensive would be a waste of resources (both financially and prospect-wise). Minnesota does not need more power; it needs better on-base presence (preferably a player with both).
Although there is little indication that the Twins are prepared to do so, acquiring a second baseman that can fit into the number two spot in the lineup with a sustainable on-base percentage is a much more pressing need. After all, as John Bonnes relayed this week, Baseball America's John Manuel described the Twins' infield as their biggest Achilles' heel, no more so than at second. Passing on Kouzmanoff should give the Twins ample opportunity to deal with the larger need through free agency.

Pissed off with sky bumping prices ever bloody hour of the day.
so would a zegemma h5.2 cover the same process as a sky box?
pause, rewind, record, series link etc.
my missus hates the open box and won't change to one in the living room so zgemma seems next best option for the money.
does anyone have one and would you recommend it or not?

When Sigmund Freud and Clive Staples (C.S.) Lewis meet in Freud's London flat the day England entered World War II sparks were bound to fly. As imagined by playwright Mark St. Germain in "Freud's Last Session," playing through Dec. 23 at the Arden Theatre, that conversation ranges from science to religion to love and, of course, to sex. The sparks are plentiful.
It's an exhilarating verbal battle that plays against the real battle going on as Hitler's Nazis invade Poland and the Brits ready themselves for the blitz to come.
How can God allow all these horrible things to happen? Don't we grow through suffering? Why does religion embrace science but not the other way around? Isn't God a myth just designed to explain the inexplicable? Doesn't science try to define feelings and emotions in ways that take all the spontaneity and joy out of life?
Those questions, and many others, fill the Arden's Arcadia Stage for one of the most intellectually stimulating 75 minutes I've spent in the theater in a long time.
David Howey's Freud and Todd Scofield's C.S. Lewis are both magnificent in capturing the depth and subtleties of their arguments, which are both well thought out and open to challenge and change.
Long-time Philadelphia actor Ian Merrill Peakes, who played Lewis in a production of the play in New Hampshire, makes his directing debut with the Arden production. From all the evidence available here, he's as good a director as he is an actor, and he's a very good actor, indeed.
The play is staged in David P. Gordon's stunning set that Freud, who is dying of mouth cancer, says his daughter designed to look like the Austrian office he had to flee to get away from the Nazis. The other good designers are Katherine Fritz (costumes), James Leitner (lighting) and Jorge Cousineau (the vital and imaginative sound).
"Freud's Last Session" does what theater does at its best: it makes you think. There are probably very few issues raised in the play that you have not pondered yourself. But "Freud's Last Session" makes you revisit them and gives you smart, challenging arguments and points-of-view to help you deal with ideas that are, literally, matters of life and death.
And by the way, Freud does smoke a cigar during the play, a reminder that sometimes a cigar's just a cigar, and at others it has a much more carnal meaning.
It's quite an evening.

The armed forces play a key role in protecting India and occupy a special place in people's hearts. Yet, standard accounts of contemporary Indian history rarely have a military dimension.
In India's Wars, serving Air Vice Marshal Arjun Subramaniam, who has a PhD in Defence and Strategic Studies, seeks to give India's military exploits their rightful place in history. Beginning with a snapshot of the growth of the armed forces, he provides detailed accounts of the conflicts from Independence to 1971: the first India-Pakistan war of 1947-48, the liberation of Hyderabad and Junagadh, the campaign to evict the Portuguese from Goa in 1961, and the full-blown wars against China and Pakistan.
At the same time, India's Wars is much more than a record of events. It is a tribute to the valour of the men and women in olive green, white and blue in the hope that it reaches out to a large audience, specially the youth. It highlights ways to improve the synergy between the three services, and emphasizes the need for wider discussions on matters related to national security.
Laced with veterans' exhilarating experiences in combat operations, India's Wars fuses the strategic, operational, tactical and human dimensions of war with great finesse. Deeply researched and passionately written, it unfolds with ease and offers a fresh perspective on independent India's history.

Anna is a Registered Art Therapist (AThR)
Anna first found art therapy back when she was a teenager, using drawing, painting and collage to work through times of anxiety and depression. From this love of art-making and the way it could both soothe and guide her, came Anna's belief in the power of creativity to heal. Anna majored in fine art and psychology in her undergraduate degree before completing a Masters of Art Therapy at La Trobe University (MA ATh). She has since worked extensively in the Mental Health field in hospital and community settings with both adolescents and adults. She has worked with people experiencing a variety of mental health issues and challenging life circumstances. She has also run self-development sessions for individuals and professional development workshops for organisations.
Art therapy is a process where clients use their imagination and creativity to explore personal challenges through art-making such as drawing, painting and sculpture. Intuitive answers often emerge and exciting new forms of self-expression can be discovered. The making in art therapy connects mind and body and brings you into the here and now, which promotes relaxation and a positive mood shift. Through reflection on the creative process and the artwork, clients can feel empowered by new insights into the self and reconnected to strengths that may have been overshadowed.
Anna provides art therapy in a friendly and encouraging space where hopes and struggles are explored through art-making and talking. She is passionate that people tap into their creative force no matter what they believe about their ability to be creative. Anna will never analyse your artwork for meaning, rather she will facilitate you to find your own meaning and connect you to your own wisdom.
Anna offers art therapy sessions at Hobart Breathing Space.

Visiting instructor explains how immigration affects teams at the World Cup
June 30, 2014
With patriotism running high during the FIFA World Cup, Americans might forget that just over a fifth of the U.S. team is made up of German Americans. Likewise, the teams of Italy, Mexico, Honduras, Iran, and Japan include players with U.S. passports.
In a recent article for Pacific Standard, David Keyes, a visiting instructor of sociology and anthropology at Lewis & Clark, interprets the effects of immigration and emigration on this summer's World Cup teams.
"In a world of dual and multiple nationalities," Keyes writes, "soccer is one of the few places in which people have to choose just one."
Keyes analyzed the ethnic makeup of World Cup teams, along with immigration and emigration trends for their associated countries. He found that for most countries, the number of dual nationals—players eligible to represent two or more countries—is higher than expected based on those trends.
Dual nationals in many countries, Keyes posits, seem to approach sports with more energy than other players. He suggests that ethnic and racial minorities with few economic opportunities might turn to sport for an escape from poverty. He dubs this phenomenon the "Hoop Dreams effect," referencing a 1994 movie about two inner-city Chicago boys who make it to the NBA.
Keyes argues that, whatever their effect on nations or teams in the future, the number of dual national players will likely rise. In a more interconnected world, changing demographics will shape the choices players make about which teams they join.
