Story highlights
- Readers voted for John Sutter to cover rape as part of CNN's Change the List project
- Alaska has the highest rate of reported rape in the country -- three times the national average
- Sutter: You can help reduce violence against women in Alaska
One of the cooler experiences I've had in recent memory was meeting Elsie Nanugaq Tommy, a spry 104-year-old who started a secret women's shelter decades ago out of her home in Newtok, Alaska. She's a bundle of smiles and optimism -- and her legacy of helpfulness already has been passed down to her granddaughter, Denise Tommy, who is executive director of the Tundra Women's Coalition in Bethel, Alaska, which shelters women and fights violence with educational programs.
You should join them in helping to make Alaska a safer place.
I recently traveled to the 49th state to try to figure out why it has the highest rate of reported rape in the nation -- and what could be done to change that. Read about the trip at CNN.com/Change. (Readers voted for me to cover this topic as part of CNN's Change the List project). And then do something about it.
Alaska doesn't have to be the state where rape is most common.
Here are five simple ways you can help make a difference:
1. Donate to worthy organizations
I came across a number of responsible, effective organizations in Alaska that are working to shelter rape victims and get people talking about what Gov. Sean Parnell called Alaska's "epidemic" of rape and domestic violence. Here are four that take online donations and were vetted by Rebecca Angel Baer, from CNN's Impact Your World group:
• Aiding Women in Abuse and Rape Emergencies, or AWARE
• Standing Together Against Rape, or STAR
• Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, or RAINN
2. Start a petition to get cops in every village
There are 75 villages in Alaska with no local law enforcement presence. I visited one such village, called Nunam Iqua, which means "end of the land" in Yupik, and learned it can take state troopers hours or even four or five days to respond to emergency calls there. Rape and domestic violence can become normal in such a place.
There's a simple solution: Send Village Public Safety Officers, who are unarmed but trained, to the lawless villages. Sexual assault cases are 3½ times as likely to be prosecuted in villages with a VPSO, according to the University of Alaska Anchorage Justice Center. If you want to see VPSOs in every village in Alaska, including Nunam Iqua, I'd encourage you to start a petition at Change.org or We the People.
If you do, please send me the link on Twitter (@jdsutter), and I'll add the link here so other readers can sign it.
3. Tell your story as part of "We are the 59%"
Fifty-nine percent of women in Alaska will be raped, assaulted, beaten or threatened with violence in their lifetimes, according to a statewide survey. Stand in solidarity with this majority of Alaskan women by sharing your story of survival. Breaking the silence will help end the epidemic by reminding victims that they are not to blame -- and empowering them to have their voices heard. I met several victims of rape and domestic violence in Alaska who told me their personal healing started when they realized they weren't alone.
Visit this CNN.com page to share your story and read other submissions.
4. Host a "Choose Respect" rally (from your phone)
Parnell, the governor, is trying to get the state talking about domestic violence and sexual assault by encouraging people all over Alaska to hold "Choose Respect" rallies in their communities on March 27. The idea is for men to choose respect for women rather than using violence against them. I think the statement can also be read as a demand from any person that the rest of society chooses respect for them and everyone else. Hold your own mini-"Choose Respect" rally taking a photo of yourself and uploading it to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #chooserespect. Bonus points: Write "Choose Respect" on your hand.
If you're in Alaska, visit this website for info on how to hold a rally.
5. Demand rape kits are counted and tested
More cases of reported rape need to be prosecuted -- and offenders need to be convicted. Otherwise, men assume they can rape with impunity. According to RAINN's founder and president, Scott Berkowitz, 40% of rapes are reported and just 3% result in the offender spending so much as a day behind bars.
One way to improve justice for rape survivors is to ensure that forensic evidence collected from crime scenes is tested. There are massive backlogs of so-called "rape kits" across the country. Hundreds of thousands of kits are untested, activists say, in part because doing so is expensive, and sometimes because these cases aren't given priority. Testing the kits, meanwhile, can result in offenders being charged and convicted.
Katie TePas, a senior policy adviser and Alaska's "Choose Respect" coordinator, said Alaska's backlog of forensic evidence "has been drastically reduced" in recent years. "I do not think we are in dire straits, unlike some other states," she said. Orin Dym, the forensic laboratory manager at the Alaska Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory, said his statewide lab currently has 141 "unassigned requests" for sexual assault kit analysis. It's possible, he said, law enforcement agencies have additional backlogs they never sent to his lab in Anchorage for analysis. The governor's fiscal year 2015 budget would include $115,000 to speed up the processing of the evidence, TePas and Dym said.
Alaska, according to endthebacklog.org and TePas, is part of the majority of states not providing data on the number of untested rape kits and not having legislation to ensure the forensic evidence is tested. You can demand that rape kits in Alaska or in your home state are tested by sending a letter to your elected representatives.
5.1. Share this post with your friends
The more people who know Alaska has an "epidemic" of rape and domestic violence, the more chance that will change. Please consider sharing this post with friends.

And the reception went about as well as expected, meaning that some of the line's customers freaked out. Like come on people, I like the religion, like a lot, and would really really prefer for people to not assume I'm an intolerant xenophobe 'cause you go and ruin a nice thing.
Mimu Maxi, which is run by two sister in laws from the Chabad Lubavitch* branch of Judaism, featured Muslim fashion blogger Summer Albarcha (Hipster Hijabis). Some commentators flipped out and called 'em insensitive for posting a picture of a Muslim blogger during this time of war and making it all political and some of the commentators got downright nasty and spewed personal attacks.
Mimu Maxi deleted the personal attacks, left up the rest of the disagreements, and responded with grace:
Mushky and I are happy and proud to have "hosted" this blogger on our page, yes at this exact time, and we stand by this decision 100%. Summer is a modest fashion blogger from Missouri who shares some of our deepest values and did not deserve the ensuing response simply by collaborating with us on a beautiful shared cause that we are ALL meant to embrace...more than ever...especially now.
Man, the thing that horrifies me about the response they got was how unsurprised I was. Like come on Jewish world, we've gotta stop with the Muslim hating insanity. Like not all Muslims are Palestinians (and not all Palestenians are Muslims) and not all Palestinians are members of Hamas, and even the ones who support Hamas have a very good reason to or very few to no other options and just, man, stop.
This girl took a picture of herself wearing some clothes. That's it. No politics were on display, so any allegiance to a group you hate is a stereotypical perception at best. It may be %100 accurate or completely inaccurate-the fun thing about Islam (like any religion really) is that it has a hell of a lot of adherents from all over the world with all sorts of ethnic and political affiliations. These ethnic and political affiliations sometimes trump religious ones, sometimes are built into religious ones in complicates ways (Sunni and Shia), and sometimes are a bonding thing. And, more to the point, it doesn't even matter, 'cause again, she wasn't putting her political views out there in any way shape or form. She was just wearing clothes, including a skirt made by Orthodox Jews, and looking cool while doing so. That should have been the start and end of this conversation.
*This note is important in that Chabad Lubavitch is very very into kinda proselytizing to non-Orthodox Jews, so the sect ends up being weirdly modern chassidish 'cause of the level of interaction with the secular world and the intermixing. They also end up being (at least publicly) much more into tolerance and colloboration and the like than many of the other Orthodox (especially chassidish) sects.

The Kabrel system was an uninhabited binary star system with two planets, located in Federation space near the Cardassian border. The binary stars in the system generate a great deal of ionic interference, discouraging settlement.
In 2374, the Dominion surreptitiously attempted to acquire the Kabrel system in the re-drawn border they proposed to the Federation during the short-lived peace talks following Operation Return. Their purpose was to gain control of Kabrel I, which represented a potentially unlimited source of ketracel-white. Doctor Julian Bashir and four other genetically engineered Humans advised the Federation to cede the Kabrel system to the Dominion, to forestall an immediate full-scale offensive.

Shirt: Librastyle || Cardigan: Romwe || Leather jacket: Forever 21 || Ripped lace leggings: Sammy Dress || Studded bag: Sammy Dress || Boots: Dr. Martens
All I do is layering in winter. Somehow I prefer wearing tons of layers instead of wearing a warm winter jacket and only a shirt. To me it's always way cozier and I don't need to leave my favorite jackets in my closet during winter which is SO annoying, isn't it? That grey-black cardigan has become my favorites, because it's so soft and the color goes with everything and adds a highlight to black outfits. I bought the leather jacket one size up in order to wear more layers underneath, but fortunately the jacket is pretty warm on its own because of its faux fur collar and quilted lining. I was so happy when this cool comic printed shirt arrived from Librastyle , they also sell many other awesome tees, the shop is definitely worth checking out! The tees are affordable and on top of that the quality is amazing! I also got a second cropped one that I'm going to show you in one of my upcoming outfit posts. I hadn't worn a bag in my outfit posts before, I guess haha. Well, I had to show you this one, because it's simply perfect. When it comes to bags I'm sooooo picky. I usually wear studded or fringed ones, but I'm always looking for some edgy ones. This one has lovely studs all over and the size is perfect (I usually only take my iPhone, pocket mirror, lipstick,sunglasses and money with me) . That bad boy is from the wholesale shop Sammy Dress where you can buy so many awesome stuff for such a low price. The quality is still very satisfying and they've got some edgy clothing you won't see in the streets every day. The ripped lace leggings are also available there - somehow they remind me of my disco pants because of the very tight fitting (even though the material is less thick) what is definitely positive!
… By the way if someone's wondering about the title "When these two worlds collide, there's nothing left behind." I used - it's a part of a chorus of one of the greatest songs ever to me - "Collide" by Axewound. When you're not into rock/metal music and screaming (okay there's singing in it, only parts of screaming) you should better not listen to it haha. But if you are, you'll have to give it a try. :-)

The Amsoil Great American Circle Track Tour: Citrus County Speedway
Our First Race Stop Is An Historic One
The AMSOIL Great American Circle Track Tour is off and running. After much preparation, we are on the road and coming to racetracks across the Southeastern U.S. Our very first stop is one that is both close to home and at the same time very significant. It represents a somewhat new way to promote short-track racing and kicked off at Citrus County Speedway in Inverness, Florida.
In years past, and even mostly today, when you look around at the racers who gather for a night's event, some teams mingle, but most stay within their pit boundaries much like encampments of armies preparing for battle, and that is exactly what this game of racing is all about. But here, we saw a different attitude and pattern that I hope catches on and grows.
First off, the F.A.S.T. (Florida All Stars Tour) schedules a test/practice day on Friday afternoon and early evening before Saturday's race. The teams, for the price of admission to the entire event, can come to dial in their cars and there is even a special session set aside for rookies in the series to practice on their own.
This time is very relaxed for all of the teams because they won't be doing battle until the next day. I do know that the teams were appreciative of the chance to dial in their setups without the pressures associated with race day. And it will be this way for every race, not just the first race of the season.
I saw lots of mingling among the teams and an overall "getting to know each other" atmosphere. This would come in handy later on when they started racing. And then that night, the Tour put on a dinner complete with a band playing. Sonny's BBQ provided the spread and there was free beer and other refreshments, all paid for out of the proceeds of the admission fees. Again, this will be the norm for all races.
The overall cost of this night of fun was relatively small, but the benefits were huge. All of the competitors were seen talking and relating past experiences and generally
becoming better friends. We like to say that racing brings families together, and this process was the beginning of the development of a racing family within the confines of this series. This can be one of the primary reasons why we race, to build friendships and gather around people with similar interests.
The first race of this unique series attracted some very interested and important individuals. Bill Desmond Jr., the Director of Public Relations for Montgomery Motor Speedway, was asked to come down to be the series announcer for this race and RJ Scott from the CRA Super Series was on hand to lend support and observe the processes. At the drivers' and crew chiefs' meeting, both spoke and provided their opinion that this type of series with its expanded class entry rules, would truly be the forerunner of things to come across the country.
Where before, races could only run at select tracks where their configuration of car body and engine fit the rules, in this series, different classes and engine combinations can come together, equalized by weight, and race and have fun. We covered the rules for the series in a previous issue. Look that up and re-acquaint yourself because the success we anticipated was realized.
And the numbers were good for a first event. Twenty-six cars qualified here; 31 cars qualified for race two held at Orlando Speed World. Word has gotten around Florida and the numbers are growing. As I type, I'm preparing to attend the third race at Auburndale. These numbers represent a marked increase in car count from what we've seen to be a trend in Florida and across much of the country.
Declining numbers of race teams have tracks concerned about the future of short-track racing. What we need are rules and promotions that enhance the experience of racing and which will allow a more diverse field of cars and motor combinations, not more restrictions. It's the restrictive nature of the progression of rules in racing that stands to deplete the numbers, and eventually kill short-track racing in America.
For this race, Wayne Anderson qualified with the fast time and after the draw, including the top six qualifiers, was to start the race on the pole. Steve Dorer drew second position. Before the introductions on the front stretch, Bill Desmond asked Wayne, and then Steve, if they would take a chance at $500 extra pay for starting from the back and winning. Both accepted the challenge and took their positions at the rear.
This made for some exciting racing and the crowd was treated to both the race at the front and the race to the front. Dalton Zehr provided some excitement by hounding the leader in the early laps. When he tried to move underneath going into Turn 3, both cars spun moving them to the rear. In this series, anyone involved in a caution must move to the rear of the field.
Wayne had his way with the rest of the field and eventually moved into the lead and won. Once everything settled down, I cruised through the pits and noticed a conversation between Dalton and Scott Grossenbacher, the driver he had come in contact with and was sent to the rear with. I moved closer to see how that would go.
Scott was explaining to Dalton that his dad was his spotter and that he hadn't told him Dalton was underneath his car going into the turn. Without knowing he was there, he had turned down on Dalton and both spun. He said his dad felt really bad about it and hoped that Dalton understood. That's the good stuff.
I really believe that the way this event is handled, with the Friday night get-together, promotes the kind of sportsmanship that encourages racers to communicate with each other and work out situations like this without having anger and confrontation rise up. It's healthier for the racers and it's the kind of environment that we want when our families are included. If the way this series is run does nothing more than create this type of atmosphere, then it will have been a huge success and what the racers in Florida have long needed.
This is truly what this Great American Tour is all about. We will be visiting racetracks, around 25 in all, across the Southeastern U.S. and talking to the racers and covering many topics. We are here to promote circle-track racing in America. We will be looking at how the promoters run their events and how the racers react to the way their tracks are run. Any and all unique and interesting concepts that we come across will be recorded and reported.
We will be asking specific questions of the racers themselves to discover trends in setups, preparation and any other aspect of team involvement that might be of interest to the readers of Circle Track. Never before have we seen an opportunity like this one and we intend to take full advantage of it.
I will personally be speaking with, and getting to know, racers in all of the divisions. I will prepare a specific list of questions I will present to the teams and the track owners, promoters, and technical staff. Racing safety will be one of the areas of concern and we will make that a topic of discussion at every track.
What the racers use for protection involving helmets, suits, restraints, and car construction will be observed. We will encourage the tracks to continue to promote the safety of the drivers, crews, and spectators. Fire protection, ambulance services, and the track rules regarding safety will all be taken into account.
And if we can help promote a safer environment at each track, then we will do that. As we gain knowledge and understanding of the necessities, we can share that with everyone on the pages of CT. Online is a current list of tracks we will be visiting. There may be changes here and there that must be made if events are canceled or our plans change due to weather issues. Flexibility will be a necessity for this tour.
For the most up-to-date list of tracks and dates, go online to www.circletrack.com and follow our blogs. We will be constantly updating and reporting week to week as we move across the country. And feel free to present any comment and/or suggestions that you might have concerning this tour. We will try to answer you as best we can.
If you live in other areas of the country, remember that the tour is scheduled for this year plus three more years. We will be traveling to the Northeast, Midwest, and the West Coast in the coming years. When all is done, we should have reported from every stronghold of short-track racing in America. It's our hope that in doing so, we will have influenced and enhanced the sport of racing in a positive way that will help ensure its survival as the times change around us. And a special thanks goes out to title sponsor AMSOIL, as well as CV Products and Holley, for helping make all of this possible.

RICHMOND, Calif. —
A man has been shot and killed outside a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in Richmond.
The man in his 30s was found Thursday at an entrance to the station. His identity wasn't immediately released.
No one has been arrested. There were no other injuries.
The Contra Costa Times reports ( https://bit.ly/XE9Nhl ) that one or two men ran away from the station after the victim was shot. The shooting occurred during the peak of the afternoon commute, but there weren't any service interruptions because of the investigation.
The killing is the third in Richmond this year.

There's an old cliche that moves across all sports that says you should act like you've been there before.
The Texas Rangers haven't been a win away from the World Series before and they acted like it in the hours before Wednesday's Game Five. They issued a press release inviting fans to meet the team's charter plane at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. It didn't expressly say that they should be ready to celebrate a victory over the Yankees, but what other reason would people hang around an airport in the middle of the night?
Karma can be a female dog sometimes and she's never angrier than when you count your chickens before they hatch. The Rangers didn't seal the deal on Wednesday and anyone hanging around DFW on Thursday morning has just as good a chance of running into CC Sabathia as they do Cliff Lee.
U.S. & World
That's because Sabathia huffed, puffed and battled his way through six innings to help his team get a 7-2 victory in a game they could not afford to lose. Sabathia has had better games, but allowing just two runs on 11 hits is a testament to how hard he fought for the outs he absolutely had to have. The Rangers went 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position. None were bigger than the two he got in the top of the sixth while protecting a 6-1 lead.
The Rangers loaded the bases with one out, but Sabathia got Matt Treanor, who had homered earlier in the game, to ground out to Alex Rodriguez after a seven-pitch at-bat. He then struck out Mitch Moreland after an eight-pitch battle, using up every last bit of strength he had to get the ball to Kerry Wood and Mariano Rivera. It was exactly the kind of stuff that's been missing from Yankees pitchers not named Andy Pettitte all series.
Also making a rare appearance on Wednesday was the Yankee offense. They jumped out to an early lead for a change as C.J. Wilson flashed his wild side. A-Rod and Lance Berkman walked, Jorge Posada singled A-Rod home and then Curtis Granderson lashed a single to right that set off a comedy of errors that would make a Little League team blush. Going into all the mental and physical errors would fill a volume, so we'll just sum up by saying any play that allows Berkman and Posada to score from second and first should be in the running for worst defensive play of all time.
Nick Swisher broke out of his slump the next inning with a home run in the fourth, Robinson Cano followed with his ALCS-record-tying fourth home run of the series and absolutely no button pushing from Joe Girardi was necessary from that point forward. That was a nice change from the last few games, even if it was your typical unbearably long, occasionally sloppy Rangers-Yankees game from that point forward.
Well, there was one difference. The Yankees won and the guys that have been there before have made it known that they don't plan to simply roll over after three straight humiliating losses. We'll see how the newcomers respond on Friday night as they try again to get the surprisingly difficult fourth win of a postseason series for the first time.

HTC Android smartphones, such as the Evo 3D, Evo 4G, Sensation and Thunderbolt, may have a security flaw that would allow hackers to control the phones remotely.
The flaw was created by HTC when the company installed a "suite of logging tools" on the phone to collect information, Android Police reported on its site. But download any Android Market app, OK permissions and any app will easily get a treasure trove of information, such as:
•List of user accounts, including email addresses and sync status for each last known network and GPS locations and a limited previous history of locations
•Phone numbers from the phone log
•SMS data, including phone numbers and encoded text
•System logs (both kernel/dmesg and app/logcat), which includes everything your running apps do and is likely to include email addresses, phone numbers, and other private info.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Yikes! Artem Russakovskii from Android Police said, "It's like leaving your keys under the mat and expecting nobody who finds them to unlock the door." It's also possible that unscrupulous people could clone your phone -- or essentially use another phone posing electronically as yours.
HTC is investigating the claims but so far has no verification that it's occurring, VentureBeat reported.
Users are cautioned not to download apps from places other than the official Android Market. While the developers still can get all your information, it's less likely they will use it for nefarious purposes, Russakovskii said. We say go one step further and don't download anything new for the next day until HTC can unequivocally say that there is no security breach.

Design Story
The Aluminum Group initially was designed for Irwin Miller, founder of Cummins Engines, in Columbus, Indiana. Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard designed the Miller home and challenged Charles and Ray Eames to develop a high-quality seating product for outdoor use.
Known for their honest use of materials, the Eameses constructed the chairs with cast aluminum and first conceived of a seat frame to support stretched fabric--a synthetic mesh (woven saran). Although the mesh was discontinued shortly after its introduction, Herman Miller reintroduced a new mesh material for the Aluminum Group in 2001. Called Cygnus, it is similar to the Aeron chair's Pellicle fabric in its aeration and translucent qualities.
The seat-back suspension was a major technical achievement and represented a departure from the concept of the chair as a solid shell.
Wonderfully comfortable, the chairs became the basis for several other Eames designs, including the Soft Pad chair group.
The Herman Miller Eames Soft Pad Group Ottoman is also known by the following manufacturer Item Numbers: EA423.
About the Designer
The Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair is the only piece of furniture in the series that was clearly meant for home use. It's a lounge chair, and so of course it's not quite right for the office (or at least most types of offices). It comes with an ottoman, which isn't something you'll see very much of in an office environment. It also comes already tilted back and ready for relaxation, with a super-long back chock full of comfy, attractively upholstered padding, and with a lovely little ottoman where the user can put their feet up and do pretty much whatever they want at the moment. This is a chair meant for watching the game and eating some food, for reading and relaxing, for having quiet moments both at the beginning and at the end of the day. It's a chair for quick little naps and long naps, for any and all leisure activities, a chair to watch movies and TV in. It's a lounge chair, one of the latest in a long line of amazing lounge furniture created by Charles and Ray Eames and sold by Herman Miller and Smart Furniture. The lounge chair is a one of a kind piece of furniture. It's slim but it's very solid and cushy. It's long but it isn't a recliner really. It comes with an ottoman, but it's comfortable enough and simple enough that it almost seems like an affectation (we said almost). This is a chair that will last for a very long time in your home, because it's so comfortable, it's so attractive, it's so durable, and because it's a product from the Office Charles and Ray Eames, and that makes it of real historical significance. This is a great lounge chair that fits into nearly any environment; why shouldn't that environment be your own home, your own living room or den?
In the home, this is a chair that clearly belongs in the rooms where leisure happens. That means the family room, the living room or den. Whatever name the room goes by, the Eames Soft Pad Lounge Chair and Ottoman belongs there. It facilitates relaxation and comfort, makes a real but subtle statement within a room, and makes itself readily available for all types of leisure activity. It's museum quality, but it's not a museum piece; lounge chairs aren't really meant for gentle use, and this one is no exception. Of course, you can always get creative and find new places to put this chair. It's good for certain types of bedrooms, and of course it's great for well covered outdoor areas, like screened in porches. You can lie back and just watch the unfolding of nature before you.
This isn't a chair meant for the office, and there aren't really any great places for it to go in that arena. Perhaps in certain types of waiting rooms and large offices it could work, but in general, its place is in the home.

These "modern classics" include works by Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, and Isamu Noguchi. Herman Miller celebrates these famous mid-century designers' works through its extraordinarily precise manufacturing techniques and industry-leading green production processes.
Herman Miller is a global company with operations, sales offices, dealers, and licensees in more than 40 countries in North America, Asia/Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, serving customers virtually anywhere in the world. Herman Miller is headquartered in Zeeland, Michigan, while manufacturing facilities are located in the U.S., China, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
Environmental Information
Herman Miller is and has always been one of the most impressive companies in America when it comes to conservation, environmental initiative, and clean, responsible production. With every product they make, new and old, they continue to push toward a greater goal of total energy independence, the elimination of all waste, especially hazardous waste, and the dramatic reduction of their environmental "footprint." Whether they're re-tooling the Eames Soft Pad Chairs to make them easier to recycle or retro-fitting their building with energy efficient light bulbs and machinery, they're always doing their best to keep the environment safe.
At Smart Furniture, we really respect that, and we also feel a kindred spirit. One of the many reasons why choose to partner with Herman Miller and sell their products online is because we see eye to eye on the importance of being an environmentally safe and responsible company. Herman Miller feels the same way about us; they make it a policy never to work with vendors who don't share their commitment, or who don't take every opportunity they have to be safer, cleaner, and less wasteful. Every step of the way, from production of the Eames Soft Pad Chair in Herman Miller factories, to the shipping of the same chair from our warehouse in Chattanooga, TN, our two companies take every step to lessen the environmental impact of designing, building, selling, and shipping a product.
Herman Miller has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to environmental issues. One of the main reasons that remains true today is that they set ambitious goals for themselves, and then commit to actually achieving them. It takes hard work, forward thinking and an almost artistic creativity to make an older product like the Eames Soft Pad Chair as safe as it can be, but all of those are qualities that have never been lacking at Herman Miller.
The most recent, and the most wide-ranging, of their environmental initiatives is called Design for the Environment. Referred to within the company (both in the offices and in the official documents available online) as DfE, the policies laid out within have guided the company inexorably toward a fully functional and totally green operation by the year 2020. The lastest policy, called "Perfect Vision," has laid out some of the most ambitious goals yet. Again, they are all meant to be met by the year 2020. Remember that these goals apply even to classical furniture like the Eames Soft Pad Chairs:
- Zero landfill
- Zero hazardous waste generation
- Zero air emissions (VOC)
- Zero process water use
- 100 percent green electrical energy use
- Company buildings constructed to a minimum LEED Silver certification
- 100 percent of sales from DfE-approved products
The first goal, zero landfill, is going to be one of the hardest to achieve. Landfills are real burdens on the environment because they are often filled with plastics and other non-biodegradable materials. Not to mention that they are, of course, immense amounts of garbage trapped under land. The odor, the damage, and the difficulty of breaking down waste all make landfills a headache. But Herman Miller is making progress. Over the last few decades, the amount of landfill generated by Herman Miller has been cut drastically. Every year it shrinks at an exponential rate, and ten years from now, it will be totally gone. That's something to celebrate.
The Eames Soft Pad Chair has been made easy to recycle and therefore not likely to end up in landfill. Most of the chair is recyclable, and needs only to be sifted into component parts when the user has decided it's time to part ways for good (though the chairs are very durable and this day should be well ahead in the future). Even though the chair was debuted four decades ago, the designers and builders are Herman Miller were able to update it without changing the look or anything material to it's classic standing.
As consumers, it's important to make responsible choices when you buy products like office chairs. In the marketplace, dollars are the voters, and every dollar that goes toward a green enterprise is a dollar other manufacturers will try and follow, and earn for themselves. When a company is responsible, it's not just good for the environment; it's good for them, and it's good for the business world as a whole.
The Eames Soft Pad Chair is just one of the many comfortable, stylish, beautiful, and creative products that Herman Miller has to offer. But they all have something in common; you can feel good when you buy them, because they came from one of the more responsible green companies in the business. Smart Furniture and Herman Miller are very proud to bring you the best in green furniture, green shipping, and green business. Buy your chairs today.

Rescue workers on Tuesday recovered the body of a person who suffered a fatal fall in the Chicago Basin area in the Weminuche Wilderness northeast of Durango.
The Durango 911 dispatch center received a report at 8:03 a.m. Tuesday that someone activated a personal location device on the south side of Chicago Basin and the north side of Columbine Pass, said Butch Knowlton, director of La Plata Countys Office of Emergency Preparedness.
The emergency signal contained a GPS location, he said.
Rescue workers spent the day reaching the location by air and on foot, he said.
They located a group and recovered the body of the person, Knowlton said. He did not know how far the person fell, the victims identity or gender. The person is not from this area, he said.
The body had been recovered as of 4 p.m. Tuesday.

In this age of endless imperial war, the lives of countless men, women and children depend on the truth or their blood is on us...

WASHINGTON - In the months leading up to the killing of Osama bin Laden, veteran intelligence analyst Robert Cardillo was given the nickname "Debbie Downer." With each new tidbit of information that tracked bin Laden to a high-walled compound in northern Pakistan - phone records, satellite imaging, clues from other suspects - Cardillo cast doubt that the terror network leader and mastermind was actually there.
As the world now knows well, President Barack Obama ultimately decided to launch a May 2011 raid on the Abbottabad compound that killed bin Laden. But the level of widespread skepticism that Cardillo shared with other top-level officials - which nearly scuttled the raid - reflected a sea change within the U.S. spy community, one that embraces debate to avoid "slam-dunk" intelligence in tough national security decisions.
The same sort of high-stakes dissent was on public display recently as intelligence officials grappled with conflicting opinions about threats in North Korea and Syria. And it is a vital part of ongoing discussions over whether to send deadly drone strikes against terror suspects abroad - including U.S. citizens.
The three cases provide a rare look inside the secretive 16 intelligence agencies as they try to piece together security threats from bits of vague information from around the world. But they also raise concerns about whether officials who make decisions based on their assessments can get clear guidance from a divided intelligence community.
At the helm of what he calls a healthy discord is Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who has spent more than two-thirds of his 72 years collecting, analyzing and reviewing spy data from war zones and rogue nations. Clapper, the nation's fourth top intelligence chief, says disputes are uncommon but absolutely necessary to get as much input as possible in far-flung places where it's hard for the U.S. to extract - or fully understand - ground-level realities.
"What's bad about dissension? Is it a good thing to have uniformity of view where everyone agrees all the time? I don't think so," Clapper told The Associated Press in an interview Friday. "...People lust for uniform clairvoyance. We're not going to do that."
"We are never dealing with a perfect set of facts," Clapper said. "You know the old saw about the difference between mysteries and secrets? Of course, we're held equally responsible for divining both. And so those imponderables like that just have to be factored."
Looking in from the outside, the dissension can seem awkward, if not uneasy - especially when the risks are so high.
At a congressional hearing last month, Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., read from a Defense Intelligence Agency report suggesting North Korea is able to arm long-range missiles with nuclear warheads. The April 11 disclosure, which had been mistakenly declassified, came at the height of Kim Jong Un's sabre-rattling rhetoric and raised fears that U.S. territory or Asian nations could be targeted for an attack.
Within hours, Clapper announced that the DIA report did not reflect the opinions of the rest of the intelligence community, and that North Korea was not yet fully capable of launching a nuclear-armed missile.
Two weeks later, the White House announced that U.S. intelligence concluded that Syrian President Bashar Assad has probably used deadly chemical weapons at least twice in his country's fierce civil war. But White House officials said the intelligence wasn't strong enough to justify sending significant U.S. military support to Syrian rebels who are fighting Assad's regime.
Because the U.S. has few sources to provide first-hand information in Syria, the intelligence agencies split on how confident they were that Assad had deployed chemical weapons. The best they could do was conclude that the Syrian regime, at least, probably had undertaken such an effort. This put Obama in the awkward political position of having said the use of chemical weapons would cross a "red line" and have "enormous consequences," but not moving on the news of chemical weapons use, when the occasion arose, because the intelligence was murky.
Lamborn said he welcomes an internal intelligence community debate but is concerned that the North Korean threat was cavalierly brushed aside.
"If they want to argue among themselves, that's fine," said Lamborn, a member of the House Armed Services Committee. However, he also said, "We should be cautious when evaluating different opinions, and certainly give credence to the more sobering possibilities. ... When it comes to national security, I don't think we want to have rose-colored glasses on, and sweep threats under the rug."
Clapper said that, in fact, U.S. intelligence officials today are more accustomed to predicting gloom and doom. "We rain on parades a lot," he said.
Current and former U.S. intelligence officials say the vigorous internal debate was spawn from a single mistake about a threat - and an overly aggressive response.
Congress demanded widespread intelligence reform after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, to fix a system where agencies hoarded threat information instead of routinely sharing it. Turf wars between the CIA and the FBI, in particular, were common. The CIA generally was considered the nation's top intelligence agency, and its director was the president's principal intelligence adviser.
The system was still in place in 2002, when the White House was weighing whether to invade Iraq. Intelligence officials widely - and wrongly - believed that then-dictator Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. By December 2002, the White House had decided to invade and was trying to outline its reasoning for doing so when then-CIA Director George Tenet described it as "a slam-dunk case."
The consequences were disastrous. There were no WMDs, but the U.S. wound up in a nearly nine-year war that killed nearly 5,000 American soldiers, left more than 117,000 Iraqis dead, and cost taxpayers at least $767 billion. The war also damaged U.S. credibility throughout the Mideast and, to a lesser extent, the world. Tenet later described his "slam-dunk" comment as "the two dumbest words I ever said."
Two years later, Congress signed sweeping reforms requiring intelligence officials to make clear when the spy agencies don't agree. Retired Amb. John Negroponte, who became the first U.S. national intelligence director in 2005, said if it hadn't been for the faulty WMD assessment "we wouldn't have had intelligence reform."
"It was then, and only then that the real fire was lit under the movement for reform," Negroponte said in a recent interview. "In some respects it was understandable, because Saddam had had all these things before, but we just allowed ourselves to fall into this erroneous judgment."
To prevent that from happening again, senior intelligence officials now encourage each of the spy agencies to debate information, and if they don't agree, to object to their peers' conclusions. Intelligence assessments spell out the view of the majority of the agencies, and highlight any opposing opinions in a process similar to a Supreme Court ruling with a majority and minority opinion.
The result, officials say, is an intelligence community that makes assessments by majority vote instead of group-think, and where each agency is supposed to have an equal voice. In effect, officials say, the CIA has had to lean back over the last decade as officials have given greater credence to formerly marginalized agencies. Among them is the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, which warned before the 2003 Iraq invasion that the CIA had overestimated Saddam's prospects to develop nuclear weapons.
Also included is the DIA, which has increased its ability during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to gather ground-level intelligence throughout much of the Mideast and southwest Asia. In an interview, DIA director Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn would not discuss his agency's debated assessment on North Korea, but described a typical intelligence community discussion about "ballistic missiles in name-that-country" during which officials weigh in on how confident they feel about the information they're seeing.
"In the intelligence community we should encourage, what I would call, good competition," Flynn said. He added: "The DIA, in general, is always going to be a little bit more aggressive. ...As a defense community, we're closer to the war-fighting commanders; it may be in that part of our DNA."
Without the all the varying strands of information pieced together from across the intelligence agencies, officials now say the bin Laden raid would not have happened.
The CIA was running the manhunt, but the National Security Agency was contributing phone numbers and details from conversations it had intercepted in overseas wiretaps. The National Geospatial Agency provided satellite imagery of the Abbottabad compound - from years past and more recently - to get a sense of who might be living there. And it produced photos for a tall man walking the ground inside the compound - even though they were never able to get a close look at his face.
One of the compound's balconies was blocked off by a seven-foot wall, Cardillo said, raising questions about who might want his view obscured by such a tall barrier. Officials also were keeping tabs on the people who lived in the compound, and trying to track how often they went outside.
Cardillo was vocal about his skepticism in each strand of new information he analyzed during the eight months he worked on the case, prompting colleagues to rib him about being a "Debbie Downer."
"I wasn't trying to be negative for the sake of being negative," Cardillo, a deputy national intelligence director who regularly briefs Obama, said in an interview Friday. "I felt, 'Boy, we've got to press hard against each piece of evidence.' Because, let's face it, we wanted bin Laden to be there. And you can get into group-think pretty quick."
To prevent that from happening, officials encouraged wide debate. At one point, they brought in a new four-man team of analysts who had not been briefed on the case to independently determine whether the intelligence gathered was strong enough to indicate bin Laden was there.
Their assessment was even more skeptical than Cardillo's. In the end the call to launch the raid was so close that, as officials have since said, it might as well have come down to a flip of a coin.
In most intelligence cases, the decisions aren't nearly as dramatic. But the stakes are always high.
Over the last four years, the Obama administration has expanded the deadly U.S. drone program in its hunt for extremists in terror havens. The drones have killed thousands of people since 2003 - both suspected terrorists and civilian bystanders - among them four U.S. citizens in Pakistan and Yemen.
The Justice Department this week said only one of the four Americans, Anwar al-Awlaki, who officials believe had ties to at least three attacks planned or carried out on U.S. soil, was targeted in the strikes. The other three were collateral damage in strikes aimed at others.
Though policy officials make the final call on when to strike, the intelligence community builds the case. Analysts must follow specific criteria in drone assessments, including near certainty of the target's whereabouts and the notion that bystanders will not be killed. They must also look at the likelihood of whether the terror suspects can be captured instead of killed.
In these sorts of life-and-death cases, robust debate is especially necessary, Clapper said. And if widespread doubts persist, the strike will be canceled.
"It is a high bar, by the way, and it should be," Clapper said. "If there is doubt and argument and debate - and there always will be as we look at the totality the information we have on a potential target - we damn well better have those debates and resolve those kinds of issues among ourselves the best we can."
Few have been more skeptical of the decision-making behind the drone strikes than Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who has sat on the Senate Intelligence Committee since 2001. Earlier this year, he threatened to block Senate confirmation of CIA Director John Brennan until the White House gave Congress classified documents outlining its legal justification for targeting American citizens in drone strikes. The documents were turned over within hours of Brennan's confirmation hearing.
Generally, Wyden says, spy assessments have become far more reliable over the last decade, and especially since the flawed Iraq intelligence. But he maintains Congress should be given greater access to classified documents to independently verify intelligence analysis and assessments - and safeguard against being misled.
"Certainly, solid analysis from the intelligence community is one of the most important sources of information that I have," Wyden said in an interview this month. "And if you look back, and the analysis is incorrect or if it's written in a way that portrays guesses at certainties, that can contribute to flawed decision-making.
"That's why I felt so strongly about insisting on actually getting those documents with respect to drones," Wyden said. "I've got to be able to verify it."
Clapper, who has been working on intelligence issues for a half-century, is well aware of how jittery many Americans feel about the spy community. The internal debates, he believes, should bolster their confidence that intelligence officials have thoroughly weighed all aspects of some of the world's most difficult security issues before deciding how high a threat they pose.
"I think it'd be very unhealthy - and I get a lot of pushback from people - if I tried to insist that you will have one uniform view and this is what I think, and that's what goes. That just wouldn't work," he said. "There is the fundamental tenet of truth to power, presenting inconvenient truths at inconvenient times. That's part of our system."

The sad family divisions that marked Casey Kasem's final days belied his greatest talent as a DJ: His ability to unite strangers over songs.
The longtime radio host, who died Sunday at age 82, leaves the public stage with his place secure as a friendly, comforting voice for generations of popular music fans.
U.S. & World
Kasem's weekly "American Top 40" show began in 1970, when Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" proved the year's biggest hit. He signed off from the final incarnation of his radio program in 2009, the year the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" topped the charts.
His four-decade career as a national radio star not only spanned massive shifts in music, but in the media. Kasem's show emerged at a time when, despite the upheaval of the 1960s, the Top 40 – and radio – remained formidable forces.
Long before the pop cultural fragmentation that hit hyperspeed with the Internet, Kasem's program gave listeners a welcoming place to bond over a mix of music that, over the years, became a mélange of modern pop: rock, R&B, folk, disco, rap.
The tunes he spun on his weekly radio shows chronicled a musical evolution – all songs that he shared across age and other boundaries. He also displayed the power of music combined with image: A year before the 1981 debut of MTV, Kasem's "America's Top 10" TV show gave some viewers their first glimpses of music videos.
His steady voice merged a sense of calm, authority – and fun, as best heard during his long run as the voice of proto-stoner Shaggy from the "Scooby-Doo" cartoons. Kasem, despite his trademark composure, managed to imbue his countdown programs with some modest suspense. The final chart placement results either validated our taste in the latest pop music or gave us something to debate about with friends.
Kasem, even by the standards of his 1970s and 1980s hey-day, could be corny. His weekly "long-distance dedications" for listeners dripped with sap. So did his closing catchphrase: "Keep your feet on the ground – and keep reaching for the stars."
But through it all, Casey Kasem, a radio voice for the ages, kept us listening.

text: Thursday, August 11, 2011 Task Force Members Appointed At its meeting on July 26, APTA's Board of Directors appointed individuals to serve on the task force related to RC 4-11 through RC 12-11 by reviewing the skills and expertise needed to fulfill the task force's charge and identifying people from the volunteer applicant pool with those skills and expertise. Thank you to everyone who applied to be a member of the task force, now formally named the Health Care Professionals and Personnel Involved in the Delivery of Physical Therapy Task Force. View the list of appointees. Comments I'm extremely surprised and disappointed that there is only ONE PTA on this task force(I know many PTA's, including myself applied to this task force).I'm also surprised that the one PTA chosen is also a ATC, I think I see the relevancy, but am concerned that there may be some biased opinions related to the PTA. I also feel it is unfair that the main person(private practice) that brought forth RC 3 is on this task force. I want to be positive,and open minded in feeling that the APTA is looking out for the best interest of the PTA, yet this does worry me. I look forward to hearing the outcomes from the research of the task force.Thank you. Posted by Lisa Tameling on 8/12/2011 4:28 PM Two members from the same state, the maker of the motion, one PTA, and private practice largely represented - all raise concerns that there may not be the diversity needed to fairly examine the impact these motions have on all areas of practice. Posted by Debora Bornmann on 8/13/2011 6:03 PM I would concur that the list does not look diversified enough. I would have loved to apply, however as a full-time clinician & a very part-time researcher, I would not be able to have the flexibility in my schedule to meet as the board would like to. It is unfortunate that the APTA does not have sufficient membership from those in acute care, other PT practice settings. Perhaps if APTA "marketed" to these members of some of the benefits it might be able to provide, a more diversified & larger membership would be achieved. I would refer the Task Force to the Acute Care Section Lecture: Acute Care - Our Profession's Foundation and Its Future by James Dunleavy for some direction. Posted by Christine Brussock -> =MT\A on 8/14/2011 10:37 AM I agree with the above comments. I applied to the TF as a PTA. I am also a massage therapist ( how I put myself through PTA school). I am so disappointed in the variety of the members. I suspect that PTA's are being thrown under the proverbial bus. It is the responsibility to represent all PAYING members of any association equally. It is a conflict of interest to have one group decide the future of another. The true measure of a man is on the inside, the outside can be ma ipulated Posted by Polly Bowers-Maness on 8/14/2011 4:09 PM I agree with the above comments. I applied to the task force as well, but was not selected. It appears that the PTA is being thrown under the proverbial bus. I would encourage you as much as possible to get involved. Contact your delegate and express your self. The task force is an advisory panel only. Your true source of strength is your delegate. Poor past participation of the PTA and the stronger participation by the private practice section is how this started. PTA's are accredited by CAPTE, just as PT schools are accredited. We are college educated and are perfectly capable for speaking for ourselves in such Task Forces. I feel the association has a responsibility to represent those who PAY THEM THEN TO REPRESENT us. The number of NON PTA's deciding the future of a PTA appears unethical. There is a conflict of interest. The measure of a man comes from within, because the outside can be manipulated. Are these NON PTA's interest true to the PTA's future? Please get involved and contact your voting delegate. Posted by Polly Bowers-Maness on 8/14/2011 4:27 PM 5 Private Practice Section members including the Private Practice Section President, at least 4 individuals primarily working in private practice, 7 of the nine states represented already allow "others" to provide direct patient care - and how many of these individuals employ or work regularly with PTAs under the current APTA practice model? Posted by Debora Bornmann on 8/14/2011 4:49 PM I agree with the post above. I know of several professional PTA's that voiced a strong desire to be on this TF. This TF has an opportunity to bridge several key issues with PT's and PTA relationships in the APTA, however the structure does not look as if the PTA's will get more then one voice at the issue. I also believe that our Delegates should have been included on this TF as the make of the motion was. Posted by Sean Bagbey, PTA on 8/15/2011 11:30 AM Interest in serving on this task force ran high resulting in an applicant pool comprised of many qualified individuals representing a diversity and wealth of experience and skills. As it made the decision regarding the composition of this important task force, the Board of Directors (Board) was guided in its decision-making by the design specifications approved as part of the new Volunteer Group System (details at can be found at http://www.apta.org/VolunteerGroups/Revisions/) implemented earlier this year. Specifically, the Board considered the specifications related to volunteer group participation – transparency in process (enables members to see how and why Board and staff make decisions, but activities that involve appointment decisions protect member confidentiality), effective (focuses on the right person, right time, right task), and inclusive (allows choice of best possible volunteers across all necessary demographics, areas of expertise, etc.; is not unnecessarily exclusionary). By balancing these design specifications while making appointments to this task force, the Board is confident that it has selected the "right people at the right time" while including diversity in demographics and practice expertise to fairly represent the multiple interests in this volunteer group's assigned task.

I also believe that our Delegates should have been included on this TF as the make of the motion was. Posted by Sean Bagbey, PTA on 8/15/2011 1:11 PM It seems that the task force has abandoned PTAs, which is who it is supposed to support as part of this organization. Posted by Deidre Barnes, PTA on 8/15/2011 3:23 PM I think all would agree that the board had a difficult task in selecting the right members to be represented on this task force. I am certain the board did not take this decision lightly. The task force, as I understand it, is designed to make recommendations to enhance the position of PTs, PTAs and ultimately patient care. It would seem that having a disparity among task force members could affect not only the out come but the proverbial weight behind those perceived "tainted" recommendations. It would then seem in the best interest of the task force's ultimate goal to have a committee with a make up which better reflects the organizations demographics. Posted by Darren Goodwin on 8/15/2011 4:52 PM I at least hope that the PTA has a voice within the task force and not just a "HALF VOTE"! I strongly feel that more than one PTA should have served on this task force. Who better to speak on the behalf of PTA's than a PTA. Why not have educatores and state regulatory board PT's and PTA's as well. Posted by Danny P. Landry on 8/15/2011 5:36 PM What better way to decrease the importance of the PTA than to load a task force with PT's? Why would I want to continue membership in a non-democratic orgaization, APTA? Professional validity compromised by the professionals in the organization-great, just great! Posted by Edie Watson on 8/15/2011 10:29 PM I agree with all the comments. Why should we PTA's continue to support APTA when we are allowed to participate with only 1/2 vote and now only 1 rep on this task force? How are we going to be respected as professionals when our own professional organization doesn't respect us enough to give us full membership privelges?! Posted by Debbie Everhart on 8/17/2011 9:00 AM I also agree with all the above comments, and am a little frustrated with the lack of representation on the task force and lack of respect from our professional organization. I sincerely hope that those appointed keep a very unbiased view and give the one PTA their undivided attention. Posted by Christy Hall on 8/17/2011 12:20 PM It is a shame that the PTA is being under represented and that the makers of motion 4-12 are heavily represented. Posted by Tom Freeman PTA on 8/22/2011 2:40 PM

Somebody at the Snaresbrook crown court must be a shitty tipper, because the food in the cafeteria has allegedly been contaminated with urine. Traces of it were apparently found in soup, salad, and even sandwiches, which customers had complained "smelled a bit off." Since only legal officers eat in the cafeteria, the errant pee-er probably has a vendetta against a judge or lawyer. Police are investigating; thankfully, the cafeteria is now closed.

Getting a chance to play on the Toyota Park stadium field, two Chicago Fire Academy teams went through a rollercoaster ride Sunday before settling for draws against Academy affiliate Indiana Fire.
The U14 team meanwhile, made things a little easier in a big win to start the day.
U14s cruise to win
In the first game of the day, the Chicago Fire U14s took care of business in a 4-0 win over Indiana, moving to a clean 8-0-2 record.
A pair of goals in each half more than did the trick, with Tim Iscra putting in the final two goals.
Midfielder Adrian Ortega put in his team-best fifth goal of the season in the 22nd minute, and just three minutes later, Brayden Calipari finished off a cross in the box to make it 2-0.
After just subbing in minutes earlier, Iscra put away a goal in the 70th minute, then finished off the win with another tally 10 minutes later.
Goalkeeper Raymon Rojas earned his third shutout of the season.
U18s come back for tie
In the day's second match, things got more interesting. The Chicago Fire U18s took an early lead but had to come back for a 2-2 draw.
The result pushes the side to a 5-1-3 record, tied for third in the Mid-America Division. They and Sockers FC are both averaging two points per match, though the Fire have played more matches.
Qudus Lawal's goal in the 55th minute, his fifth of the season, was enough to square the game for good.
That was after Indiana took the lead early in the second half, scoring in the 51st minute. Indiana also scored in the 35th minute to tie the match.
The Fire took the early lead when Collin Fernandez's shot from the top the box found the net in the 10th minute.
U15-16s also draw
The topsy-turviness continued with the U16s, who also tied 2-2 against Indiana to move to 3-3-3.
The Fire fell behind in the 33rd minute, but Ben Rhoder scored right at the start of the second half to even things up.
Indiana quickly responded, scoring on a header in the 41st minute to regain the lead.
The Fire's Louis St. John tied things for good in the 62nd minute. He took a pass about 25 yards out, took a couple touches, then put his shot into an upper corner to account for the final score.
Both teams had quality chances later but couldn't find the odd goal for the win.
All three Chicago Fire Academy teams travel to Michigan this weekend to face Vardar (Saturday at Hurley Field in Berkley, Mich.) and Crew Soccer Academy Wolves (Sunday at Jaycee Park in Livonia, Mich.)

Today's Highlight in History:
On May 26, 1954, explosions rocked the aircraft carrier USS Bennington off Rhode Island, killing 103 sailors. (The initial blast was blamed on leaking catapult fluid ignited by the flames of a jet.)
On this date:

In 1981, 14 people were killed when a Marine jet crashed onto the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz off Florida.
In 1994, Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley were married in the Dominican Republic. (The marriage, however, ended in 1996.)

(Nichols later received 161 consecutive life sentences.) Fantasia Barrino was crowned the winner of "American Idol" in the Fox TV talent contest.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama nominated federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court. California's Supreme Court upheld the Proposition 8 gay marriage ban but said the 18,000 same-sex weddings that had taken place before the prohibition passed were still valid.
One year ago: President Barack Obama visited tornado-devastated Moore, Oklahoma, consoling people staggered by the loss of life and property and promising that the government will be behind them "every step of the way." A Nigerian tugboat carrying 12 crew members capsized and sank in about 100 feet of water; a sole survivor (Harrison Odjegba Okene) was miraculously rescued three days later. Tony Kanaan won the Indianapolis 500. Ten fans were injured during the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway when a nylon rope supporting a FOX Sports overhead television camera fell from the grandstands onto the track surface.

Thought for Today: "The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls." — Elizabeth Cady Stanton, American feminist (1815-1902).

Angelic Rapture (Archangels 10)
Coming Soon
Betrayed and almost murdered by his first true love, Nathaniel wants nothing to do with any female angel. Which is why when Chief Archangel Michael sends him on mission, Nathaniel picks the one female to be on his team that he knows he's safe with, Jules. For years Jules has lived with his family and, while he's grown protective of her, he's never been attracted to her. To him she's just one of the guys, a pal, a fellow angel warrior, certainly not someone he is sexually attracted to. Forced to leave her family behind in Heaven when the angel warriors rebelled, Jules has always kept her emotions closely guarded. While she has watched all her friends find their mates, she has been happy to be unattached, devoting herself fully to the angel warrior cause. When she finds out she has to go with Nathaniel on a mission, she doesn't even think twice. While many other angels fear him because he's so broody and intense, she knows deep down he has a soft side. To their horror, the more time they spend together, the more they find themselves drawn to each other. It couldn't come at a worse time either. They have to fight a demon uprising that could end the world. Plus, they have to contend with the third member of their team, a freshly trained angel warrior healer, who is terrified of demons and can't even use her weapon without accidently harming innocents. Then something happens that threatens not only the future of all humanity, but the angel warriors as well. Will Nathaniel and Jules be able to stop it? Or will they lose everything–even each other and what could have been?

UNITED KINGDOM – 2017 – There are many different kinds of lights available nowadays for both the home and the business. Lights are now designed for specific purposes, such as ceiling lights and wall lights, and they serve a plethora of functions as well.
But for those who are looking specifically for downlights, Downlights Direct does not disappoint. This supplier of all types of lighting fixtures as well as switches and sockets and other lighting accessories has been specialising in downlights for a good number of years, and has been able to partner with some of the most well-known brands and manufacturers when it comes to lighting.
Today, customers can additionally benefit from a downlights bargain offer at Downlights Direct, especially if they opt for the Aurora Lighting brand of downlights. Downlights Direct gives more details about Aurora Lighting: "Aurora downlights are regarded as the best in the business; their innovative technological features such as driver-on-board technology are now becoming standard features within the lighting industry. The M series of LED downlights contain every feature you could possibly need from a downlight all in one neat unit."
As mentioned, Downlights Direct is offering a continuous sale on its Aurora range of downlights, where customers can avail of as much as 70% off. One particular product which allows customers to save as much as 70% from the regular retail price is the Aurora M7 6W fire rated LED downlight (IP65), which is an integrated downlight fitted with the most up-to-date driver-on-board technology. With this driver-on-board technology, the downlight is built free from capacitors. The capacitor, as electrical experts know all too well, is often seen as the least strong component – and it is usually the first component that fails.
Downlights Direct provides more information on the product: "Aurora's patented LEDchronicTM lens provides halogen appearance with LED efficiency, anti-glare and precise beam control partnered with its CrystalcoolTM next generation thermal management it offers brighter light for a longer amount of time…The Aurora M7 is fully fire rated and tested to 30, 60, and 90 minute ceilings, as well as being acoustic rated."
