Elvis' guitar donor says he is rightful owner
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A man who donated to a South Dakota museum a slightly damaged acoustic guitar played by Elvis Presley that is at the center of a custody battle insisted Thursday he had the right to give it away because he owned it.
The instrument's fate is now in the hands of a federal judge in South Dakota tasked with determining whether blues guitarist Robert A. Johnson owned the guitar when he donated it to the National Music Museum last year along with a guitar made for Johnny Cash, one of Bob Dylan's harmonicas and other objects.
The museum, located in Vermillion, South Dakota, insisted in a federal lawsuit last week that it is the legal owner of the broken Martin D-35, which "The King" played during his 1977 tour and gave to a fan in St. Petersburg, Florida after a strap and string snapped. But collector Larry Moss argues that Johnson agreed to sell the guitar to him before it was donated.
Johnson and Moss, both of whom live in Memphis, Tennessee, are each listed as defendants in the museum's complaint.
Moss had the opportunity to buy the guitar in 2007 but did not pay for it in full, Johnson told the Associated Press Thursday.
"Since Larry Moss never paid for the guitar, I had the right to donate the guitar."
A payment agreement dated in 2008 shows that Moss agreed to pay Johnson $120,000 for various guitars including the one in dispute. The agreement is part of the exhibits filed in a libel and defamation lawsuit that Johnson initiated against Moss in state court in Tennessee in January.
The court records also include a check Moss wrote to Johnson for $70,000 in connection with the payment agreement, as well as an email Moss sent to the museum in December 2013 claiming ownership.
Federal court records show Johnson has not responded to the lawsuit in South Dakota as of Thursday. Johnson's attorney did not return a call seeking comment Thursday.
In court filings, the museum argues that even if Moss was the owner of the Elvis guitar before Johnson donated it to the facility, his ownership ended when the museum acquired it. The complaint states that if Moss feels he was wronged, he should sue Johnson for damages.
"Johnson had possession and control of the guitar apparently for many years during which time Moss purports to have been the owner of the guitar, yet Moss took no action to assert his alleged rights in the guitar," the museum's attorney, Mitchell Peterson, wrote in the complaint.
On loan from Johnson, the broken instrument was on display for about two years beginning in late 2008 at the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum.
Johnson, who played with singer Isaac Hayes and the band John Entwistle's Ox in the 1970s, donated the Elvis guitar and other items to the museum in April 2013. At the same time, he received $250,000 for his 1967 Gibson Explorer Korina wood guitar, formerly owned by Entwistle, who is best known as a member of The Who.

DISCLAIMER: One of the drawbacks of buying fabric online is that in spite of every effort made by the Seller to provide a photo that represents the true colour of the item, it is impossible to do so, as the colour appears differently on every computer screen. Therefore the item you receive may be a slightly different shade to what appears on your computer screen.
SHIPPING: No online postage calculator is sophisticated enough to accurately compute postage based on both fabric $ value and weight. You are always welcome to ask us for a postage quote for multiple purchases. Should our automated postage calculator charge you more than 'actual' postage after you have already paid, we will immediately credit the overage back to you.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING delivery times vary depending on the destination, Customs, and local postal service. Orders usually arrive in 10 -21 days although this can extend to 30+ days for Canadian deliveries. Peak period delivery times can delay delivery, especially in the lead up to Christmas.
CUSTOMS DUTY: If you are buying from outside of Australia, it is possible that you may be charged Customs Duty or other charges before your order will be released to you. We are in no way accountable for customs duty, handling fees or taxes that a Buyer may be required to pay upon delivery. We recommend that Buyers check with the appropriate authority in their country before they buy.
RETURNS/EXCHANGES: Whilst every effort is made to accurately process your order, mistakes can occasionally be made.
Exchanges or refunds are at the sole discretion of the Seller. ("I've changed my mind" is not an acceptable reason to return an item.) If you are unhappy with your purchase, please contact the Seller within 7 days of delivery for pre-approval before returning a purchase for exchange or refund. Unless the Seller has made a mistake and sent the wrong item(s) or the item differs significantly from the item description, the Buyer must pay for return postage. The Seller reserves the right to decide whether to exchange an item of refund the Buyer. If approved, a refund will be credited to the original purchaser's credit card or PayPal account (however they originally paid) and in most cases will not include the original postage/shipping cost. Please allow up to 10 working days after our receipt of the returned item for your refund to be completed.

UF Health to build new, 240-bed tower
The University of Florida is planning to build a new tower for neuromedicine and cardiovascular hospitals, according to a news release issued Tuesday.
The new tower will be east of Archer Road near the visitor parking lot for UF Health Shands Cancer Hospital. It will have an estimated 240 beds, 18 operating rooms, intensive care units and outpatient facilities, the release said.
Dr. David Guzick, senior vice president for health affairs and president of UF Health, said the expansion is a result of UF Health's success and growth in recent years. "We anticipate being equally successful in the years ahead," he said.
Construction on the tower is tentatively scheduled to begin in summer 2014, pending approval of the formal proposal next spring by the UF Health Shands Hospital board of directors. The board has already approved a $20 million design phase, Guzick said.
Estimated completion of the tower is 2018, at a cost of approximately $400 million, Guzick said, adding that the funding for the tower would come in part from UF Health's reserves, from philanthropy and from money obtained through investments.
Guzick anticipates that building the tower will create approximately 800 new construction jobs; once the tower is operational, another 700-800 staff jobs will be created.
Guzick added that neuromedicine and cardiovascular services are both growing fields with increasingly complex technological needs that a new building will be able to provide. Cardiology, vascular surgery and cardiothoracic surgery will be housed in the new tower, as will neurosurgery and neurology.
Guzick said that it's clinically important that these areas stay close together so that specialists can work together to serve patients' needs. The departments will include specialized ICUs and operating rooms.
Currently, neurosurgery and neurology are together in the North Tower of Shands Hospital, but in a space that has become cramped, Guzick said.
He added that moving these specialties will also create more space for other departments in the North Tower, especially general medicine and the expanding Children's Hospital.
Guzick said that the rapid expansion bodes well for the strategic plan he developed in 2010, dubbed "Forward Together," which brings the hospital and university faculty together in serving patients.
The theme of that vision was to create "unstoppable momentum," Guzick said, adding that this latest tower is emblematic of that.
"It's very gratifying to know that we've not only attracted enough faculty from around the country and patients, but we're now full," he said, referring specifically to the growth generated by the opening of Shands Cancer Hospital in 2009.
UF Health is in the process of other expansion projects as well, including renovations to the children's hospital and future expansion of the neonatal intensive care unit.

How to do Beats Studio 2 Wireless Jack Port Repair Service yourself?
Everyone wants to save money, and virtually the main reason someone wants to fix their Beats Studio 2 Wireless is to save some money. Well, in some situations buying a new one is not even an option. Of course, there is no cheaper way to fix your Beats Studio 2 Wireless than to do it yourself. Once you decide to go down this rabbit hole, we suggest doing some preparation. Everyone expects that they will open up their Beats Studio 2 Wireless and there is a little button, which says flick it to fix it, however, the truth is far from it. We suggest staying away from Youtube and forum fads as most likely a simple fix won't do any good. You will have to figure out how the Beats Studio 2 Wireless operates internally to have a chance at repairing it. So, roll up your sleeves, take a look at disassembly pictures online and be prepared to encounter lots of cables. You will also find various secure bolts and possibly a disappointment as there's usually no such thing as an easy fix.
How to get a manufacturer to repair my Beats Studio 2 Wireless?
Every single Beats Studio 2 Wireless sold in the UK comes with 1-year manufacturer's warranty. So if it starts to misbehave, you can always reach out to their customer support and book it in for warranty investigation. In case of a successful warranty claim, they most likely will issue you with a refurbished Beats Studio 2 Wireless. The advantage is that you won't have to pay anything for it. Disadvantages would be that you will probably have to wait up to a month for the whole repair/replacement process to complete. Also, you won't be getting your Beats Studio 2 Wireless back, it will be someone else's refurbished unit. If your Beats Studio 2 Wireless is out of warranty or the damage has been caused accidentally, you're pretty much out of luck as well. This means you will have to fork out a hefty sum of cash for a repair. If you're ready to go through this, give the manufacturer a call and nag them about the problems, your Beats Studio 2 Wireless has. They should provide you instructions on how to get your kit over to them for warranty.
Where can I fix Beats Studio 2 Wireless? Local or online repair centre?
Everyone has to agree that the best people at fixing your Beats Studio 2 Wireless are the ones who manufactured it. They have all the knowledge on how to repair and what replacement parts they will need in the process. However, as mentioned before, going to the manufacturer is usually out of options, be it due to expired warranty or solely due to a lack of patience to deal with poor customer service or extremely long service times. In our "unbiased" opinion independent Beats Studio 2 Wireless repair centre is the way to go. Following a few basic rules, one can select the business, which will most likely provide professional service and brilliant customer experience. In most cases for a fraction of the price, what manufacturer would quote to fix your device. When choosing a repair centre, positive reviews are essential, of course, professional-looking and correctly functioning website always helps to add to trust. Be wary of places that seem to "specialise' in fixing everything; it is impossible to know the ins and outs of all electronic items. The real repair centres usually specialise in servicing a few different device types. It takes a lot of effort to figure out how to economically and reliably repair particular device, in this case, Beats Studio 2 Wireless. So we advise you to choose wisely and read other people reviews about the company.

Barraband Pl. 19, Le Touraco géant
Oppenheimer Editions Print
21 1/2" x 14 3/8"
Limited edition of 500
Published 2002
Blind embossed with the Oppenheimer Editions and The Field Museum logos
Barraband's Natural History, The Oppenheimer Field Museum Edition
Jacques Barraband's rendering skills are unparalleled. His prints of birds remain among the most life-like in natural history art. His luminously colored engravings, combined with Francois Levaillant's exact ornithological depictions represent a high point in the history of ornithological art.
In his work, the birds seem to glow on the paper, giving off an inner vitality that comes from a brilliant use of color, a near- perfect rendering of feathers, and a breathtaking mastery of the printing process. Jacques Barraband collaborated with Louis Bouquet (1765—1814) and Langlois to create the engravings. The plates were then inked à la poupée, an early method of color printing.
Jacques Barraband (1767—1809) was well-known for his accomplishments as an artist long before he came to work for famed French naturalist Francois Levaillant (1753—1824). From 1801—1805, these men collaborated on the world's best-known natural history work about parrots, Histoire Naturelle Des Perroquets. The pair would go on to collaborate on other great works, Histoire Naturelle Des Oiseaux Des Paradis et des Rolliers (Birds of Paradise), and Histoire Naturelle des Promerops (Toucans).
Established in 1999, Oppenheimer Editions has partnered with prestigious museums to make prints from their holdings. Works from the New-York Historical Society's unrivaled collections of John James Audubon's watercolors and the Hudson River School paintings are examples of art that otherwise would be unobtainable. Among the institutional collections we have partnered with are the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum, and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. These are not mere reproductions. They are limited-edition fine art prints made with the finest quality archival pigments on rag watercolor paper and executed to exacting standards.

"The only thing I'm fighting is me." So says Chris Schulte in this new Louder Than 11 film about hard bouldering in the deep and labyrinthine cleft of the Ice Caves, Independence Pass, Colorado. The film shows Schulte's wild-looking possible V13 The Crucible, which is apparently unrepeated: "No one else has tried it to my knowledge," he told Rock and Ice.
"The only thing I'm fighting is me."
So says Chris Schulte in this new Louder Than 11 film (see below) about hard bouldering in the deep and labyrinthine cleft of the Ice Caves, Independence Pass, Colorado. He drops into the grotto from the forest above, after trekking there hilariously mule-loaded with crash pads.
The film is also a story of what to Schulte, 35, a prolific first ascentionist with hundreds of FAs of difficulty up to some unrepeated potential V14s, is an often solitary pursuit. Schulte, originally from Texas, learned to climb as a teenager in Durango and now lives in Boulder, establishing routes across Colorado and in Bishop and Hueco, describes the hyper "sensitive state… this really high vibration" of difficult bouldering, in which micro adjustments make every difference and the presence of others can be a distraction.
Rock and Ice reached Schulte in Europe, where he had fled foul weather in Fontainebleau, France, for blue skies and more bouldering in Ticino, Switzerland.
"Ticino is awesome," he reports. "So glad to be here now, there's so much I want to try and conditions are great!" Asked what he has on the agenda, he replies: "I've been before in hot weather, so there are a few things I want to do that I came close to before: The Dagger, Confessions, General Disarray, Amber, Boogalagga … to name a few. I'll go back to Font in a couple weeks if the weather clears.
"I've spent a lot of time in Font, and what's left there for me right now is The Big Island, which is why I've returned this year. I had one great session on it, then I got the flu and it started into a six-day snowstorm. The forest is soaked and frozen, but I'll be back."
Schulte has done most of his Indy Pass bouldering solo, though also climbed there with a "dedicated crew" of locals, as well as Jackie Hueftle and Ben Spannuth, who have their own FAs there, and some friends from Durango. Jon Glassberg of Louder Than 11 put up a nice v8 and a huge dyno while there for the filming.
The film shows Schulte's wild-looking possible V13 The Crucible, which is apparently unrepeated: "No one else has tried it to my knowledge," he tells us.
"The hardest thing was to commit to a sequence," he comments of the problem. "I was very close to a different method, so I spent the bulk of the time trying that method. When I finally switched to a method I'd tried briefly a season or two back, but abandoned because it hurt my finger, I did the move right away and the problem immediately after. That's how it goes with new routes, and even more so with climbing solo. Tunnel vision strikes often.
"I never graded the route. It could be V11 for all I know. But it seemed harder that other V12s I've done, and about the same as Don't Get Too Greedy in RMNP, which gets V13. You just gotta guess, and in this case, I guessed by comparison. I don't really care. I just wanted to climb that amazing line."

Video game puts players in shoes of Syrian rebels
BEIRUT - A new video game based on Syria's civil war challenges players to make the hard choices facing the country's rebels. Is it better to negotiate peace with the regime of President Bashar Assad, for example, or dispatch jihadist fighters to kill pro-government thugs?
The British designer of "Endgame: Syria" says he hopes the game will inform people who might otherwise remain ignorant about the conflict.
Views differ, however, on the appropriateness of using a video game to discuss a complex crisis that has killed more than 60,000 people since March 2011. Computer giant Apple has refused to distribute the game and some consider the mere idea insulting. Others love it, and one fan from inside Syria has suggested changes to make the game better mirror the actual war.
The dispute comes amid wider arguments about violent video games since last month's shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, that left 20 children and six adults dead. This week, the National Rifle Association revised the recommended age for a new shooting game after criticisms by liberal groups.
Tomas Rawlings, who designed the Syria game, said he got the idea while watching TV pundits debate the possible consequences of directly arming Syria's rebels, which Western nations have declined to do. He said he thought a game could explore such questions by allowing players to make choices and see their consequences.
"For those who don't want to read a newspaper but still care about the world, this is a way for them to find out about things," said Rawlings, the design and production director of U.K.-based Auroch Digital.
In the simple game, which took about two weeks to build, the player assumes the role of the rebels seeking to topple Assad's regime. The play alternates between political and military stages. In each stage, the player sees cards representing regime actions and must choose the rebel response.
The choices seek to mirror the real conflict. The regime may get declarations of support from Russia, China or Iran to boost its popularity while the rebels receive support from the United States, Turkey or Saudi Arabia - reflecting the foreign powers backing the two sides.
In battle, the regime may deploy conventional military forces like infantry, tanks and artillery as well as pro-government thugs known as shabiha. The rebels' choices include sympathetic Palestinian or Kurdish militias, assassins or jihadist fighters known as muhajideen.
Some of the rebels' strongest attacks also kill civilians, reducing rebel popularity and seeking to reflect the war's complexity.
All along, the player is given basic information about the conflict, learning that Islamists once persecuted by the regime now consider the fight a holy war and that the shabiha are accused of massacring civilians.
The game ends when one side loses its support or the sides agree to a peace deal. The player is then told what follows. The longer the fighting lasts, the worse the aftermath, as chaos, sectarian conflict and Islamic militancy spread.
The lasting impression is that no matter which side wins, Syria loses.
Rawlings said that's the game's point.
"You can win the battle militarily but still lose the peace because the cost of winning militarily has fractured the country so much that the war keeps going," he said. "You can also end the war so that there is less of that."
The game was released on the company's website and as a free download from Google for Android devices on December 12. Rawlings submitted the game to Apple to distribute via its App Store but the company rejected it.
Apple declined to comment, but Rawlings's rejection referred to a company guideline for mobile apps: " 'Enemies' within the context of a game cannot solely target a specific race, culture, a real government or corporation, or any other real entity."
Rawlings is modifying the game, though he worries it will weaken it.
"It will still be the same overall experience, but it will reduce the value of the game to inform people," he said.
News of the game was greeted with a mix of interest and outrage online. Some complained that players can't take the regime side, while others found it wrong to make a game about a brutal war.
"Rawlings has mistakenly understood the Syrian war as a nonchalant 'experience' that people can play while waiting for the train to work," said Samar Aburahma, a university student of Palestinian descent in San Francisco who refused to try the game. "It is beyond insulting to Syrians, especially given the fact that war is ongoing."
Others find it a valuable, if limited, approach to the conflict.
Andrea Stanton, a religious studies professor at the University of Denver who studies Syria, said she responded emotionally to the game.
"It isn't really a fun game to play," she said, noting that she was angry when she lost and felt dread when the frequency of deadly regime airstrikes went up as the game progressed - as it has in the real conflict.
"This a very sobering game in that you sense how quickly the military stakes escalate and how little the political phase has to do with actual Syrians," she said.
She is organizing a campus activity for students to play and discuss the game.
"I think it is very valuable for teaching and getting people to experience a sense of the limited options the rebels face," she said.
It is unclear how many people have played the game. Google says it has been downloaded as many as 5,000 times from its site, and Rawlings says more have played online. He guesses more than 10,000 people have tried it.
Few in Syria are likely to have played it, since fighting has made the Internet and even electricity rare in some parts of the country.
One 18-year-old Syrian gamer liked the game so much, however, that he sent Rawlings a list of suggestions for improvement.
Reached via Skype, he said the jihadist fighters should be called Jabhat al-Nusra, after an extremist rebel group that the U.S. has designated as a terrorist organization.
He also pointed out that few rebel groups have tanks, as they do in the game, and suggested new rebel tactics.
"Car bombs are used lots in Syria, so that would make the game more realistic," he said.
He said he hoped the game would help people understand the situation.
"I wish there were a 3D strategy game about Syria so you could feel the destruction on the ground," he said.
The player, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, said his feelings playing the game often mirror his feelings about the war. He wants peace but can't imagine the rebels accepting a negotiated solution given how many people have died.
"Right this second, I want the war in Syria to stop, but when you see what is happening on the ground there is no way to make peace," he said. "When I play the game like a rebel, I have to reject the peace."

The U.S. Supreme Court decisions in favor of gay marriage stirred advocates and opponents in Colorado to say they were prepared to fight on about the issue of same-sex unions.
"Colorado is ready to have that conversation, and we're ready to have that conversation with them," said Brad Clark, executive director of One Colorado, the advocacy arm of a coalition of gay-rights organizations in the state.
The Catholic Church opposes gay marriage, and the Archdiocese of Denver said Wednesday the court rulings mean work needs to be done to strengthen the traditional interpretation of marriage.
"Popular sentiment and ideology notwithstanding, the Church has always and will always uphold, encourage, and support the institution of matrimony," the archdiocese said. "No law will change this conviction, and no campaign will convince the Church to deny what it has always taught about the crucial importance of this institution."
The archdiocese noted in its statement that voters approved Amendment 43 in 2006, putting a ban on gay marriage in the state constitution.
"The Archdiocese of Denver encourages all elected officials to uphold and support our state constitution."
Jim Daly, president of Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, called the decisions disappointing.
"Yet, however disappointing the rulings may be to those of us who embrace natural marriage, the decisions should not elicit a spirit of despair," Daly said.
The rulings on the federal Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8 have no immediate impact on Colorado. Mindy Barton, legal director for the GLBT Community Center of Colorado, said it could be interpreted in future court cases to entitle couples to marry in states that allow it, but collect federal benefits in Colorado.
In some cases, it would depend on the type of benefit. For instance, collecting Social Security survivor benefits depends on where a couple is living when a spouse dies, while immigration cases are based on where the couple was married.
Catriona Dowling and Cathy Davis of Boulder had their home riding on the outcome of the court's DOMA ruling.
The couple was married last year in Iowa, though Cathy, a nurse and a citizen of Ireland, is living in the United States on a work visa with Dowling and their three children.
Despite the best efforts of their congressman, Jared Polis, the couple's marriage is not recognized at the federal level, which blocks Cathy's application for a green card.
Dowling disagreed with those who see the issue as one of morality.
"It's not a morality or sexuality issue," she said. "It's a family issue."
While the Colorado legislature granted civil unions and state recognition, more than 1,000 of the legal benefits and tax breaks granted to couples originate at the federal level.
"It's a tax on being who you are," Wade Johnson of Lakewood said, explaining he and his partner could save hundreds of dollars a year by filing joint tax returns.
A poll released two months ago indicated that Colorado residents now support gay marriage 51 percent to 43 percent. Among voters younger than 30, it passes by a 74 percent to 17 percent spread, according to left-leaning Public Policy Polling.
Public opinion, however, doesn't always translate to votes on Election Day, Denver pollster Floyd Ciruli said.
Catholics, including those who are older and some who identify as Democrats, would be less likely to support it. Latino and African-American voters also have traditionally opposed gay marriage.
Those demographics, however, are changing. African-American voters have shifted since President Obama said last year his opinion on the issue had "evolved," Ciruli said. Latinos younger than 30, for example, support gay marriage by more than 65 percent, which tracks with the rest of young voters on the issue in Colorado.
The state has a history of legal scrapes about gay issues.
In 1992, Colorado voters, by a 53 percent to 47 percent margin, passed Amendment 2, which blocked any state or local government from treating homosexuals as a minority group with protected status.
In 1994, the Colorado Supreme Court affirmed a lower court's ruling that Amendment 2 is unconstitutional. In 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Amendment 2 for good, calling it "born of animosity" toward gays.
In 2012, Republican House Speaker Frank McNulty refused to allow a civil unions bill to be heard by the entire House while knowing there were enough votes to pass it, effectively killing it.
McNulty did not return a telephone call for comment Wednesday.
Former El Paso County commissioner and state Sen. Ed Jones, an Amendment 43 supporter, said gay-rights supporters have momentum now. He thinks they can be defeated, but for traditional marriage supporters to lose means "to define marriage in something other than a religious sense," he said. "It's scary."
A Republican and an African-American, Jones, 70, says claims that gay Coloradans are fighting for their civil rights rubs him the wrong way. He grew up in a segregated Mississippi in a county named for Ku Klux Klan founder Nathan Bedford Forrest.
"I've never seen a sign that says, 'No gays allowed,' " he said. "But I grew up seeing signs that said, 'No coloreds allowed.' It's not the same thing."
Jones expects the fight over gay marriage to continue in Colorado.
"If you crack open the door just a little bit, they'll kick it in," he said.

Amendment 43
Colorado voters in 2006 passed a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Gay marriage in Colorado could be allowed only after that amendment is repealed by two-thirds majorities or more in both the Colorado House and Senate. A repeal also could petitioned onto the ballot. Supporters would have to collect a number of signatures equal to 5 percent of the votes cast in the last election for secretary of state, or 86,105 signatures, to place such a repeal on the ballot.

Morgan has taken an aggressive stand for tighter U.S. gun laws in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting. Last week, he called a gun advocate appearing on his "Piers Morgan Tonight" show an "unbelievably stupid man."
Now, gun rights activists are fighting back. A petition created Dec. 21 on the White House e-petition website by a user in Texas accuses Morgan of engaging in a "hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution" by targeting the Second Amendment. It demands he be deported immediately for "exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens."
The petition has already hit the 25,000 signature threshold to get a White House response. By Monday, it had 31,813 signatures.
Morgan seemed unfazed — and even amused — by the movement.
In a series of Twitter messages, he alternately urged his followers to sign the petition and in response to one article about the petition said "bring it on" as he appeared to track the petition's progress.
"If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me?" he wrote.

LOWELL — The Lowell Housing Authority is considering partnering with Community Teamwork Inc. of Lowell to increase the effectiveness of both organizations to serve homeless veterans or those at risk of becoming homeless.
LHA Commissioner Tim Green said at Wednesday's LHA board meeting that he recommends the two organizations share the salary of a full-time employee who could help veterans with workforce-skill development and provide housing counseling.
The employee could also help inform veterans about different programs and benefits available to those returning from serving their country.
The two agencies could hold quarterly meetings to discuss the impact of the shared approach to addressing veterans issues, said Green during his report on a veterans subcommittee meeting earlier this month.
"It is a win-win situation for everybody and it is a real positive," Green said.
Green's recommendation has been passed on to Executive Director Gary Wallace.
The LHA Board of Commissioners has previously passed a resolution to support hiring post-9/11 veterans.
In other business Tuesday, the LHA:
* Delayed until next month a vote to amend the LHA's legal-services contract with attorney Phil Nyman to give Nyman a 2 percent pay raise to $42,194.
* Voted to award a contract to Charter Brothers Construction, LLC, of Danville, N.H., for $39,697 to make upgrades to the Bishop Markham handicap ramp.
* Voted to approve a terminal-leave payment of $24,435 for retiring mechanic/small-engine maintenance man William Labranche.
* Approved a certificate of completion and payment of $5,050 to WPI Construction for roof repair work at North Common Village.
* Voted 4-1 to approve Commissioner Michael Zaim's motion to give LHA employees Dec. 24 off. Chairwoman Kristin Ross-Sitcawich opposed.

SEOUL, South Korea | Prosecutors indicted the captain of the sunken South Korean ferry and three crew members on homicide charges Thursday, alleging they were negligent and failed to protect more than 300 people missing or dead in the disaster. Less serious indictments were issued against the 11 other crew members responsible for navigating the vessel.
Capt. Lee Joon-seok and the other homicide defendants — a first mate, a second mate and the chief engineer — could face the death penalty if convicted, according to the Supreme Court, though no one has been executed in South Korea since 1997.
The 11 others were indicted for alleged negligence and abandoning passengers in need when the ship sank on April 16, according to prosecutors.
The indictment was filed Thursday in Gwangju District Court and a trial date will be decided in a few days, according to a court official who requested anonymity due to department rules. The official said all 15 defendants are expected to be tried together.
The indicted crew members were among the first group of people rescued when the Sewol began badly listing, and all were arrested last month.
Lee initially told passengers to stay in their cabins and took about half an hour to issue an evacuation order but it's not known if his message was ever conveyed to passengers. In a video taken by the coast guard, he was seen escaping the ferry in his underwear to a rescue boat while many passengers were still in the sinking ship.
Lee told reporters after his arrest last month that he withheld the evacuation order because rescuers had yet to arrive and he feared for the passengers' safety in the cold, swift water.
The head of the ferry's owner, Chonghaejin Marine Co. Ltd., and four other company employees have also been arrested. Authorities suspect improper stowage and overloading of cargo may have contributed to the disaster.
About one month after the sinking, 284 bodies have been retrieved and 20 others are listed as missing. Only 172 people, including 22 of the ship's 29 crew members, survived. Most of the victims were students from a single high school near Seoul who were traveling to the southern tourist island of Jeju.
Underwater searches for the bodies have been hampered by strong currents and bad weather. Family members of the missing passengers are still camping out at a nearby port waiting for news of their loved ones. One civilian diver died after falling unconscious during a search.
The sinking, one of the deadliest disasters in South Korean history, has triggered an outpouring of national grief. More than 1.8 million people have paid their respects at makeshift mourning stations across the country. The government also has been under mounting public criticism over its handling of the disaster.

Blogging began for me as a way to flex my activist muscles and say what I wanted to say about social justice (and injustice), feminism and veganism (aren't they all intertwined? Obviously!). I was looking not only to make my voice heard, but also to find other voices out there in the dark, who shared the same ideals and values that I held close to my heart. And in the case of veganism, to my tummy.
Community. What I found was that in a very short time after I began blogging, there was this amazing, joyful, enthusiastic group of vegan bloggers who had so much to share with the world, and prove time and again to be the most generous folks I've ever met. People who started out as casual commentors on my blog have become genuine friends – people who I email and tweet with and who know more about my "real life" than my family! These friendships have gotten me through some terribly tough times, and have also celebrated with me when things were going great.
One the bloggers I consider a real friend is Mihl of Seitan is My Motor, and when she mentioned considering visiting the south of France it was obvious that she and P. would come stay with us. Like an exteno-meet-up that lasted several days!
It's funny, because when we were all hanging out – be it at breakfast over coffee or when discussing the world after dinner – it felt like Mihl and I had been friends for ages and were simply catching up, not really getting to know one another. We were having so much fun, we actually made them stay an extra day! Guppy wanted to keep them hostage in the bat cave (aka the spare bedroom where M. Fish hides out attacking virtual zombies) forever, but we'll content ourselves with another visit!
Ms. Mihl doesn't make much to-do about her birthday, and so she was very surprised I'd remembered it was her special day just before her visit. Guppy and I just made a simple chocolate birthday cake from my grandma Mary's cookbook (more on this soon). It's a "war cake" or "crazy cake", a naturally vegan chocolate cake. I promised her the recipe, and I don't think Grandma Mary would mind if I shared it with you!
Mihl's Birthday Cake
This is a thick, moist, fudgy chocolate cake that looks more like a chocolate tourte than a cake. I chose to bake it in a 28cm round pan, but if you'd like a more traditional chocolate cake, bake it in a 23cm pan. You can also double the recipe to make a layer cake.
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup sugar
generous pinch of salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp almond extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon apple cider or white vinegar
1 cup cold water
Pre-heat your oven to 180°c/350°f and oil your cake pan.
In a large bowl, stir the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Make a well in the middle and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix until just combined with a wooden spoon (well, any spoon, but I use wooden. meh.) and pour into the prepared pan. Bake for about 30mins, or until a tooth pick inserted in the centre comes clean.
When it's ready, carefully remove the cake from the pan and let it cool upside down on a wire cooling rack (if it sticks to the pan, just run a knife along the edges to loosen). Let cool completely before frosting.
Easy Powdered Sugar Icing
About 350g powdered sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp flavour extract of choice
a little non-dairy milk
Pour the sugar into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and extract and stir vigorously with a fork until it becomes smooth. If it's not thin enough, just add some non-dairy milk (I use soy), a teaspoon at a time, until you've reached desired consistency. Carefully spread onto cake. If you're getting crumbs in your frosting, just add a very thin layer of the icing, don't worry, put it in the fridge to harden a little. Then just frost over the frosting layer. See? All better!
Surprisingly, we two passionate food bloggers didn't take much in the way of pictures. I think we were too busy talking! Go figure. Mihl does have a snap shot over at her blog today, so go see! Next time I make this cake I promise to update with a photo.
What I did take pictures of are some of the goodies she brought me from Dresden!
Speculos cookies, pumpkin & flax seeds (which I'm having trouble finding since the move) and wine! Wee! Guess that's why we forgot to take pictures of our food! She also brought me chocolate and jam, but that is for another post…
Now go spread some blog love, kids!

Initial findings from the ABA Commission on Women in the Profession survey "Visible Invisibility: Women of Color in Fortune 500 Legal Departments" found that women of color are underpaid, underestimated and undervalued.
According to an executive summary of the survey, "Sadly, female attorneys of color often are treated as second-class citizens in a profession that ironically is charged with the responsibility of ensuring justice and equality for all."
Nine years ago, the Commission on Women in the Profession created its Women of Color Research Initiative, which has produced surveys to bring attention to the inequities women of color contend with in the profession.
The first phase of this initiative explored the career experiences of women of color in law firms. The current phase of the initiative focuses on those women in corporate law departments during four aspects of their careers: hiring, recruitment, retention and advancement.
So far, the survey has found that women of color did not experience bias in hiring, but as they progressed in their careers, they experienced it in the retention and advancement phases.
Lorelie S. Masters, the co-chair for the Women of Color Research Initiative Committee, said that other initial findings revealed that 48 percent of white men reported satisfaction with their careers in-house compared with 17 percent of African-American women. Though pleased with the decision to work for in-house Fortune 500 legal departments, African-American women's overall satisfaction was significantly less.
The survey determined that compensation was a key factor in job satisfaction during each phase of a lawyer's career. Masters said that one study highlighted that the pay gap in the beginning may start at a $2,000 annual difference between male and female associates earning up to $66,000 a year. She said, "We all understand, and certainly women of color as much as anyone, that compensation is a measure of how an organization values one's contribution."
The full report of the nationwide survey of 1,000 in-house lawyers at Fortune 500 companies will be published in the fall.
