Autism Center Gives Parents Reason to Celebrate in Pittsburgh
What started as one mother's drive for information about her son's development has turned into a growing community resource. And the photo above, taken last week AutismLink's holiday party, is a symbol of that success. More than 150 people, families with a child on the autism spectrum, gathered at the Center for Creative Play in Pittsburgh. (See an online photo gallery of the party here.) It's one of several events that Cindy Waeltermann, director of AutismLink, organizes just for these families. Past outings have included a day at a fishing pond, a "pumpkin trolley" ride in the fall, a movie theater with spaces for kids to take trampoline breaks. She also has arranged special offers for passes to a zoo and sporting events.
But that's just the beginning. Last month, Waeltermann and AutismLink opened the Autism Center of Pittsburgh, which offers a place where families can get services for children including medical evaluations, occupational and speech therapy, and information about resources. (The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette covered the opening in an article you can read here. Note the familiar platform swing in the accompanying photo.)
"We want to do as much as we can to help these kids. We're going to constantly expand, as much as we can. There's tons of needs out there," Waeltermann told me in an interview. She says her vision for growing services extends to autistic teens and adults.
The concept that Waeltermann has come up with is simple but powerful: she finds a way to provide the space -- in this case, in a medical office building in the North Hills neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Then she brings practitioners in for office hours. Parents bring their children to the new hub she's created. Most of the services offered are covered by medical insurance or Medicaid. In the first four weeks since it opened in November, 47 families signed up for O.T. and other appointments.
"The demand is huge and eventually we're going to need to expand. In Pittsburgh, the bigger [autism] diagnostic centers have a six- to eight-month waiting list. We got independent diagnosticians so we can do it without a wait," Waeltermann said.
That kind of waiting list is what got Waeltermann to get going on her own efforts. She is mother of two boys with autism and grew frustrated with the lack of information available about what to do and where to do it.
AutismLink started about five years ago as a website, run by Waeltermann, which provides news and information about events and research, and also sells discounted kits to help parents' groups put on conferences and fundraising events. These materials have proven so popular that proceeds from their sales have provided some funds to help open the Center in North Hills and a second center in New Kensington.
Waeltermann says she has heard from a number of families beyond Pittsburgh, asking her when she will bring a new autism center to their area. She said she's interested in doing more. Right now, though, she has to act as a receptionist.
"I had always wanted to start something like this," she said. "You're carting your kid here and there, and I thought, wouldn't it be great if everything was in one place?"

At Gen Art Fashion Show, New Stars Are Born (and Old Stars Confess What They Wear at Home)
Long before there was Project Runway there was Gen Art, which has been scouting and showcasing new talent in art and fashion for nearly fifteen years. Gen Art's ninth annual International Design Awards and Runway Show was at Hammerstein Ballroom last night, and it featured young talent you’ll likely see at the Bryant Park tents in a year or two. (Gen Art has nurtured famous stitchers like Zac Posen, Rebecca Taylor, and Vena Cava.) The names to watch out for from last night's show? We have no idea, but Kim Friday, the nice WWD editor we were sitting next to, suggests these: ardistia, T-County, Julianna Bass, and especially the design collective Form, which everyone was buzzing about. We, meanwhile, hunted down the more familiar names.

“The game of Pin-ball has always represented a complex problem of applying a layer of social justice bonded to a wave of pure emotional power. A fascinating mix. All of this is sublimly [sic] disguised within the ultimate battle that pits man against the powers of the universe and popular culture, all for 25¢. Explore the inner processes, methods and real game designs of enigmatic pinball designer, John A. Popadiuk, as he attempts to demystify the pinball machine and his attempt to rule the Pinball Universe.”
At that point, my sides had reached the outer perimeter of the Andromeda Galaxy, as I desperately wanted Martin to read it again.
I will now think of the emotional and socio-political ramifications of each ball, before I plunge myself into the world of pinball interactivity.
Fun With Bonus is the home of the semi-coherent, misguided ramblings of professional and amateur pinball players.

Hey guys and gals! Happy Friday! We have another large list of releases for you this week. I will apologize upfront as there are not videos for all of the releases as I am writing this, I am recovering from surgery and it is rather uncomfortable so don’t feel up to a the full post, but at least want to get you a list of the top releases for the week. My choices are highlighted in Blue. Let me know what you are most looking forward to hearing this week and what we may have missed. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great weekend!!
Ellefson / Soto – Vacation in the Underworld – (Rat Pak Records): Jeff Scott Soto and former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson join forces for what I hope is a total beast of an album. It is cool sometimes to hear Soto go heavy. My review on this will be one of the last reviews in the Jeff Scott Soto Series so it will be awhile before we get to it.
The Cult – Under the Midnight Sun – (Black Hill Records / Round Hill Records): Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy bless us with another album as it has been 6 years since the last. Sign me up please!!
Happy Friday! Of course, all Friday’s are happy. The last day of the work week and new album releases. What could be better…maybe everyday being a Friday. There are a handful of albums this week for me and one was on pre-order and should be at my door when I get home from work…yes, it will be a great Friday. My choices are highlighted in Blue. Let me know what you are interested in or if I missed anything which happens all the time. Have a great weekend and enjoy any new music you pick up.
W.E.T. – Earthrage – (Frontiers Records): Jeff Scott Soto is a busy man between his solo album, Sons of Apollo and now a new W.E.T. album. And it has been too long since the last one, 5 years I believe since the last studio album and that is way too long. Jeff’s vocals are what keep me coming back to everything he releases. With W.E.T., he teams up with Erik Martensson and Robert Sall to form this sensational trio. The bands this trio is from makes up the name…Work of Art, Eclipse & Talisman…all three great bands in their own right. If this first song is what we can expect, hold on tight!! Check them out!
Kip Winger – Solo Box Set Collection – (Frontiers Records): Kip Winger is such an underrated talent…well at least he used to be. He is now a Classical Composer (Grammy nominated I think)…pretty cool! This set is a collection of all his solo works (it isn’t classical music though). We get 5 CDs, the 3 solo albums, an acoustic album (with Winger songs included) and some rare demos and an unreleased track. Pretty damn fine set of music and worth picking up. This is what I have on pre-order and should keep me busy for awhile!! Here is the collections trailer…

Cannabis is recognized as one of the world’s most cultivated, used, and trafficked drugs. As the legalization of marijuana is taking place in several states of the US, it is significantly drawing the attention of manufacturers, researchers, and investors towards itself.
However, despite the legalization, jumping into the business can get you behind bars if you are unaware of the cannabis regulation.
Let’s first check which states have legalized marijuana and which have approved its usage to some extent.
Overall, 35 states have legalized the usage of cannabis, out of which 16 legally allow 21+ individuals to use it for recreational purposes. Other 19 states allow only partial utilization of the herb. The following table will give you a better understanding of the new cannabis regulation in every part of the USA.
|Sate||Legal Status||Medicinal Usage||Decriminalized Usage|
|Alabama||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||No|
|Arkansas||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||No|
|Delaware||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||Allowed|
|District of Columbia||Legal||Allowed||Allowed|
|Florida||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||No|
|Georgia||Legal with restrictions||CBD oil only||No|
|Hawaii||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||Allowed|
|Indiana||Legal with restrictions||CBD oil only||No|
|Lowa||Legal with restrictions||CBD oil only||No|
|Kentucky||Legal with restrictions||CBD oil only||No|
|Louisiana||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||Allowed|
|Maryland||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||Allowed|
|Minnesota||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||Allowed|
|Mississippi||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||Allowed|

|Ohio||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||Allowed|
|Oklahoma||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||No|
|Pennsylvania||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||No|
|South Dakota||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||No|
|Tennessee||Legal with restrictions||CBD oil only||No|

|West Virginia||Legal with restrictions||Allowed||No|
|Wisconsin||Legal with restrictions||CBD oil only||No|
Regulators, voters, and lawmakers around the USA passed rules, laws, and orders that will be implemented in the current year. Here is a state-wise rundown of new cannabis law that would be effective in 2023.
The World’s most significant market of legal weed, California, has come up with several 2023 cannabis laws; let’s have a look:
Taxes on cannabis might rise for consumers. Also, from January 1, 2023, large and medium growing licenses would be considered legal, raising the cannabis supply and bringing the prices down.
Patients will enjoy new rights regarding the usage of medical weed along with other medications. The responsible use of cannabis is now also allowed for parents.
Other amendments include:
- Bars are now allowed to host cannabis events.
- It’s now easier for cannabis businesses to get insurance under AB2595.
- And thanks to AB 1885, vets can now recommend cannabinoids for pets suffering from anxiety.
New York is ready to set up the country’s second-largest legalized cannabis market, as dispensary sales are now allowed in the state. It is expected that numerous stores will come online in 2023.
Oregon is among the first two states in the USA that legalized the usage of weed. The state’s weed industry will further be streamlined with the new cannabis law:
- Retailers can now offer discounts to customers. However, schemes like “buy one get one” are not allowed.
- The weed delivery in Oregon can now cross the county lines.
- Walk-up options have also been legalized at the Oregon dispensaries.
- It is now legal to set up a drive-thru dispensary in the state.
On January 4, 2023, psychedelic mushroom decriminalization took effect. Sales and productions are still criminal offenses, though. Other than that, the medicinal usage of marijuana got a little easier under state law.
Cultivating weed for personal usage is still banned in the state. However, on January 10, 2023, the adult sale of weed was legalized. Even though the use of weed is legalized in Connecticut, it is still prohibited in public spaces, workplaces and near entrances. Additionally, those living somewhere with more than 50,000 people may be able to find dedicated sites for legal consumption. Lastly, landlords can decide if it is allowed on their premises.
The second former confederate state in the USA, Missouri, legalized weed medical usage in the year 2022. However, it was not until November 2022 that the possession rights got effective. The retail stores of cannabis will be functional from this year in the state.
The possession of not more than 1.5 ounces of marijuana is now legal in Maryland. However, you must be at least 21 or older to be eligible for the possession. Legal actions could be taken against anyone under the legal age, even for carrying 1 gram of weed.
The curbside pickup of Marijuana at dispensaries was allowed in the state until January 1, 2023. Residents could originally buy marijuana for adult use via regulated dispensaries. Cannabis sales are taxed differently depending on how much THC it contains: cannabis with more than 35% THC is subject to a 25% tax, whereas cannabis with less THC is subject to a 10% tax.
Medical marijuana patients who were charged for possessing no more than 8 ounces of out-of-state- weed can get their charges dropped “entirely, partially, or on several conditions.” The Kentucky governor passed an executive order in favor of patients. The order has been effective since January 1, 2023.
The adult-dosage of weed is still illegal in the state. However, a special election is scheduled in the month of March regarding its legalization.
In 2023, there are possibilities that the small northeast state of Vermont may decriminalize the adult usage of hash, buds, and flowers. Under the current law, Cannabis flowers containing more than 30% THC and extract containing more than 60% THC are considered to be illegal. Only two states of the USA- Connecticut, and Vermont- have such sections on weed.
A1. In 2023, the US will implement new cannabis laws to regulate the sale and distribution of cannabis at the federal level. These laws will include regulations on labeling, taxation, and safety requirements, as well as guidelines for how states can regulate their own cannabis markets.
A2. The new cannabis laws will include taxation requirements that will vary by state. In general, cannabis products will be taxed similarly to other consumer products, such as a sales tax. Some states may also impose additional taxes and fees on cannabis products.
A3. No, cannabis will not be legal in all states. Each state will have the authority to determine its own cannabis laws, including whether or not to allow the sale and distribution of cannabis products.
Wrapping it up!
These were the latest changes in new cannabis law in different US counties.
Although weed has been Cannabis Legislation in the US has legalized weed in numerous states, a citizen must be aware of the restrictions regarding the legalization. Half or no knowledge could be dangerous and get you in trouble with the law. The amount of possession allowed and the instructions by the federal bodies regarding consumption should all be considered to avoid arrest or penalties.

The Generation Killer
By Adam Simcox
- The Generation Killer
Author: Adam Simcox
- Series: Book 2 of The Dying Squad

The supernatural has always worked well with noir as they are both genres of the night. It is only an undead hop and skip between a detective finding a corpse in the alley and that corpse waking up. Conan Doyle walked the line between the supernatural and the super-real, Holmes always discovered that the mystery was more manmade than on first sight. But what if it was not? Who can solve crimes against the dead better than the dead themselves? In Adam Simcox’s The Generation Killer, the Dying Squad may just be the best team to stop a serial killer from sending more souls their way.
After the events of The Dying Squad, Detective Joe Lazarus has finally found a place for himself. Being a detective in an agency for the dead may have not been what he intended, but it is a great way to clean his soul after years of being a corrupt cop. He is going to need the help of his former partner Daisy-May, as they are coming up against some pure evil. A serial killer is poisoning the oldest and youngest in a family. If that were not enough to deal with, someone is killing the citizens of the underworld and there is a guerrilla army of the undead on the upside who are trying to break the laws between the living and the dead. A typical week for the Dying Squad then.
Joe is a gritty cop trying to make up for his past, so he fits into crime noir perfectly. Manchester above and beyond is also a perfect city for the genre with its looming buildings, history, and penchant for rain. Generation is a great crime noir about cops trying to capture a serial killer, but it is also full of supernatural ideas.
The story is split into three, Joe and his new partner are sent upside to investigate the killer, Daisy-May stays below to investigate more local matters, whilst the Duchess has the most important mission of all, stopping her sister from destroying the world. All three stories run parallel, and it is not until the conclusion that you start to see if they are connected or not.
You can read the book for the crime aspects or the supernatural, both are treated well. The story of the serial killer is dark and twisted. It reads like any other dark novel, but in this case it may be supernatural. We learn more about the underworld in this outing and the consequences of the first book. The world building has really been established and you feel there is a solid base for further investigations in the series.
I enjoyed Generation as both a slice of dark urban fantasy, but also as a slice of dark crime. A mystery is always a terrific way to develop characters, relationships, and structure. Simcox does not only do this once, but across three separate narratives. I would recommend this to urban fantasy lovers as it is squarely in that genre, but there is enough of a mystery here for crime fans to enjoy too.

Molly is going on a one-on-one date with Jason Mesnick in 'The Bachelor' and will fall with him, literally.
"The Bachelor" returns Monday, February 16 with a vacation to New Zealand. Post the departure of Naomi from the competition, the three remaining girls will go on one-on-one dates with bachelor Jason Mesnick and one of them has been highlighted through a sneak peek video.
Molly will do a bungee jumping together with Jason. She admits that she is not scared of heights but is terrified at the idea of doing the extreme sport.
While the girls will also be taken into overnight dates, there will be a surprise visit by former Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas who dumped Jason when he proposed to her in the season finale. This will provide a twist to the show when Jason reunites with his former flame. Rumor has it, he will let her stay but will not go on an overnight date with her.
Pappas previously told People that it will be worth the wait. "It will be worth the wait. The women were not that happy to see me, I can tell you that," she teased.

It is our pleasure to announce that 449Recovery has opened a new, dedicated teen recovery program to its group therapy treatments for addiction. It’s called the 417 Teen Program.
Before now, 449Recovery offered teen recovery programs that were one-on-one with our outstanding counselors, or integrated into our general therapy groups with an emphasis on teen recovery for that one person separately from the group. Now, we are offering a teen-only outpatient program, in which the group therapy sessions consist only of teens, in addition to our current adult outpatient program.
This is something that we have wanted to offer young addicts and alcoholics for a while. As an organization that just recently celebrated its first anniversary, this new program was one we knew we had to offer as soon as we could, but one that we had to do right. Fortunately, that time came a lot sooner than many would expect.
Teen recovery programs are built through commitment
We knew that our teen recovery program had to be something that we committed to in full—otherwise, we would be doing a disservice to our clients instead of a service. We accept nothing less than the highest level of care possible, because we know that lives are at stake both today and in the future if we do not.
Much of our experience was gained through working in teen recovery programs</a, and some of us even got sober ourselves at that age. It is an idea that is very close to our hearts. Yet, we know all too well that for young people to find long-term recovery, they have to be able to identify with others in their age group.
One of the most important aspects of recovery is that we have a life worth living— one that is full of enjoyment. If we did not, the allure of drugs and alcohol would quickly take out even the most dedicated amongst us. However, this can prove to be a real challenge for younger alcoholics and addicts when they alone bring the average age of a group therapy session down by 15 years. In other words, it is hard enough to relate for many people even when their peers are their age, let alone several generations older than they are.
The thing is, a person does not need to lose a house, a car, a spouse, a job, or anything external in order to be an addict or alcoholic. All they need is an inability to control and enjoy their drinking and using, and a desire to stop.
As addicts and alcoholics find themselves unable to escape from addiction at increasingly younger ages, so too do we find more and more young people coming into recovery. Our experience has shown us that these young alcoholics and addicts—if they achieve long-term sobriety and clean time—can avoid the years of misery that older alcoholics and addicts go through.

Addiction to substances such as alcohol, drugs, tobacco and nowadays even technology is a problem all over the world. Most addicts don’t start out knowing that they will become addicted. They believe they have full control over the use of the substance and that they shall be able to stop whenever they want to. However, over time, they lose control and start getting dependent on the substance. Following are seven questions that may help you find out if you are addicted. Answer these questions for the past one year.
- Do you feel a strong desire or compulsion to take the substance?
- Have you lost control over when and how much of the substance to consume?
- If you do not use the substance for a day or more, do you experience anxiety, palpitations, inability to focus, disturbed sleep or feel excessively sad?
- Have you noticed an increase in the amount of substance that you need to take in order to get the same high as earlier?
- Is your focus nowadays only on how you will get the substance? Have you started ignoring your studies and extracurricular activities because of it?
- Do you continue to take the substance in spite of knowing that it is causing harm to you?
If your answer to three or more of the above questions was yes, then you may have a problem of dependence.
What should you do?
- Do not panic. Getting out of dependence or addiction needs professional help, especially if you have been dependent for a significant period of time.
- Make an appointment with a psychiatrist and consult them about this problem as soon as possible. If you do not know a psychiatrist in your town, see your general physician or a psychologist who can then refer you to a psychiatrist.
- Take a friend or a family member that you trust into confidence. It always helps to have the support of a loved one.
With appropriate help and guidance you can triumph over the problem of addiction. The sooner you seek help, the faster you shall recover.

For the first fourteen years of his life, David K. Mc Arthur lived on a huge sheep ranch encompassing the slopes of Idaho's Coyote Mountain. Left with his aunt and uncle while the rest of his family lived in California, David wouldn't meet his siblings until he turned three. David's tiny home had no electricity or running water. When his family visited, a tarp was strung across the room to create some measure of privacy for the two families. The children slept in the tiny attic. From the Shadows of Coyote Mountain recounts David's eventful life-and the tensions that brewed within his family. Those who grew up in the poverty of the Great Depression and the dustbowl era had two paths laid out for them. They could give up and subside on what little they had or they could fight for something more. David chose to fight. His path led him to his family in Oakland, a tour with the US Marine Corp, and a Captaincy at the Oakland Fire Department. This is a man who, quite literally, survived fire and flood before he reached his teens. This is his story.

It is Thomas Doty's work as a storyteller to not only perpetuate the Old Time myths with integrity but to add new stories to the collective basket of folklore, just as tellers before him have done for centuries. Storytelling is an ancient tradition as well as a living art. Thomas Doty's adventures with Coyote find them journeying into the rich native culture and traditions of Doty's ancestors.

After forming an intense bond with Natasha, a wolf cub she raised as part of her undergraduate research, Renée Askins was inspired to found the Wolf Fund. As head of this grassroots organization, she made it her goal to restore wolves to Yellowstone National Park, where they had been eradicated by man over seventy years before. In this intimate account, Askins recounts her courageous fifteen-year campaign, wrangling along the way with Western ranchers and their political allies in Washington, enduring death threats, and surviving the anguish of illegal wolf slayings to ensure that her dream of restoring Yellowstone’s ecological balance would one day be realized. Told in powerful, first-person narrative, Shadow Mountain is the awe-inspiring story of her mission and her impassioned meditation on our connection to the wild.
In American Indian societies, storytelling and speech-making are invested with special significance, crafted to reveal central psychological and social values, tensions, and ambi-guities. As Karl Kroeber notes, "It is our scholarship, not Indian storytelling, that is primitive, undeveloped." ø This book is an essential introduction to the study and appreciation of American Indian oral literatures. The essays, by leading scholars, illuminate the subtle artistry of form and content that gives spoken stories and myths an enduring vitality in native communities yet often makes them perplexing to outsiders. The presentation and analysis of complete oral texts, often without translations, enable the reader to grasp the meaning, purpose, and structure of the tales and to become familiar with the techniques scholars use to translate and interpret them. ø This expanded edition of the widely praised collection contains a recent analysis of the Wintu myth of female sexuality, a revised introduction by Karl Kroeber, a contribution by Dell Hymes, a new translation by Dennis Tedlock, and a new, annotated bibliography.
"In this passionate, erudite, and far-ranging book, Kroeber renews for our multi-cultural age a fundamental argument: the stories we tell, hear, read, and see make a difference to the lives we read."--Jonathan Arac, University of Pittsburgh In this highly readable and thoroughly original book, Karl Kroeber questions the assumptions about storytelling we have inherited from the exponents of modernism and postmodernism. These assumptions have led to overly formalistic and universalizing conceptions of narrative that mystify the social functions of storytelling. Even "politically correct" critics have Eurocentrically defined story as too "primitive" to be taken seriously as art. Kroeber reminds us that the fundamental value of storytelling lies in retelling, this paradoxical remaking anew that constitutes story's role as one of the essential modes of discourse. His work develops some recent anthropological and feminist criticism to delineate the participative function of audience in narrative performances. In depicting how audiences contribute to storytelling transactions, Kroeber carries us into a surprising array of examples, ranging from a Mesopotamian sculpture to Derek Walcott's Omeros; startling juxtapositions, such as Cervantes to Vermeer; and innovative readings of familiar novels and paintings. Tom Wolfe's comparison of his Bonfire of the Vanities to Vanity Fair is critically analyzed, as are the differences between Thackeray's novel and Joyce's Ulysses and Flaubert's Madame Bovary. Other discussions focus on traditional Native American stories, Henry James's The Ambassadors, Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveler, and narrative paintings of Giotto, Holman Hunt, and Roy Lichtenstein. Kroeber deploys the ideas of Ricoeur and Bakhtin to reassess dramatically the field of narrative theory, demonstrating why contemporary narratologists overrate plot and undervalue story's capacity to give meaning to the contingencies of real experience. Retelling/Rereading pr
Thomas Andrews drills deep into the many pressures that have reshaped a small stretch of North America, from the ice age to the advent of the Anthropocene and controversies over climate change. He brings to the surface lessons about the critical relationships to land, climate, and species that only seemingly unimportant places on Earth can teach.

Houston, Texas stands as the hub for Nigerians in the United States and the majority of Abians in the diaspora. On October 12th, Governor Ikpeazu welcomed top Abian business professionals and community organization leaders to an interactive townhall meeting at the Hilton.
The packed event allowed guests both in Houston and beyond by way of speaker phone conference call to speak to the Governor about the works in Abia.Â
Dr. Ikpeazu detailed for attendees the roadblocks, achievements and goals of his administration. He fully explained his vision for turning the State around despite the challenges he has faced during his tenure. Several guests mentioned their fervent desire in bringing business and aiding in education improvement to the State and the Governor discussed how his administration would be able to assist them in their endeavors.Â
Several attendees interacted with Dr. Ikpeazu and asked him tough questions which he was able to answer and quelch concerns the Abians have, some specifically about the business, education sector and road repair/construction. Attendees were very pleased as he assured them of the progress already made and more to be seen as his time in office continues. Ikpeazu expressed his plansÂ to reconstruct and commission a minimum of 50 roads at Aba with a flyover at Osisioma roundabout before 2019.
In regards toÂ the Aba-Ikot Ekpene Highway, a federal road, Governor Ikpeazu pledgedÂ that heÂ will construct a 7.5km alternative access road to connectÂ the Akwa Ibom state end of the highway before the end of the coming dry season.
He stressed that theÂ State will continue ongoing negotiation with the Federal Government on repairingÂ the damaged Aba-Ikot Ekpene highway. So far, heÂ has commissioned 17 of the 28 roads begunÂ by his administration since he took over as Governor of Abia State.
The Governor was very well received by the crowd who reigned praises on his administration and led a stirring prayer for the State’s leader.

The box under the tree was bigger than she expected – but what had she expected? She didn’t really know. She picked it up – it was light – and shook it gently. Nothing rattled.
“Open it.” He smiled at her.
Her fingers trembled as she untied the silk ribbon and carefully tore away the paper. She hesitated before lifting the cover. What would be inside?
Words!! Hundreds of them, thousands of them, came tumbling out of the box as she opened it. They sailed through the air, landing in her hair, her mouth, on her breasts. Words shimmered in the tree, in her mind’s-eye, in her heart.
“Oh,” she breathed in slowly. “They’re beautiful!”

This is less a news update than a punchline. Congress is seeking to help bail out broke pension funds? This has to be a joke, right? A completely broke organization that routinely shuts down because it has no money, that already is utterly buried in unfunded obligations it can never meet for Social Security, its own version of America’s universal pension fund, seeks to give away money to private entities?
No wonder they’re not publicizing this headshaking bout of corporate welfare one whit.
The US pension system has gotten so bad, Congress is actually planning for its failure.
As the government was working on the recent, new budget deal and subsequent boost in government spending, Congress quietly snuck in a provision that forms a committee which would use federal funds to bail out as many as 200 “multiemployer” pension plans.
As is often the case, this rescue “plan” is too little too late. The US pension system is beyond repair.
Boston College estimates the nation’s 1,400 multiemployer plans (corporate) are facing a $553 billion shortfall. And around one-quarter of those are in the “red zone,” meaning they’ll likely go broke in the next decade or so.
But Congress’ committee, assuming it works, wouldn’t even rescue the red zone plans, much less the remaining 1,200.
And it doesn’t even begin to address the real problem – the $7 trillion funding gap faced by the government’s own pensions.

Aberdeen FC estimates that the construction of its new stadium will create 150 local jobs during its first phase.
The Dons have been celebrating this week after council planning officers signed off on papers cementing the conditions attached to the £50million scheme between Westhill and Kingswells.
And project leaders have now outlined how an initial programme of work will benefit the local economy.
That first stage will cost more than £10million and involves the creation of a training pavilion, groundsman’s accommodation, three professional training pitches, two 3G pitches and full size and half size grass pitches.
Raymond Edgar, project director, said: “Some of the significant economic benefits promised will be realised immediately through these contracts, which will be awarded to local companies wherever possible.
“The north-east boasts a strong construction supply chain with the necessary skills, expertise and track record for these works and it is our intention to source local first.
“These contract awards signal the beginning of a new era.
“After 18 years in the planning, we are finally able to start work on our vision for the club, the community and the wider region.”
Aberdeen FC will put an initial series of contracts out to tender next month, with efforts expected to get under way in June.
The first stage of construction will also include earthworks, the creation of roads and sewers and electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation work.
However, those plans could still be thrown into disarray as a protest group rallies to stage a legal battle preventing the work from taking place.
The No Kingsford Stadium collective has vowed to launch a judicial review at the Court of Session – which could hold up the project for months, or block any development at Kingsford.
The group believes that the new ground will heap misery on the community, with excessive congestion and noise on match days, and have amassed a £50,000 kitty in preparation for the legal battle.
But Mr Edgar yesterday said that the club would now reach out to nearby residents to set up a liaison group aimed at shaping the plans and smoothing over any tensions.
It is anticipated that the group will comprise representatives from Westhill and Elrick Community Council, Kingswells Community Council and Westhill Sports Hub.

Accenture Supporting its vision to improve the way the world works and lives, Accenture (NYSE: ACN) is committing more than US$200 million over the next three years to help equip disadvantaged people with job skills for the digital age.
Accenture’s Tech4Good projects use advanced technologies to help solve critical challenges facing business and society. For instance, the company collaborated with The Grameen Foundation India, using technologies from AI to augmented reality, to help disadvantaged people improve their financial literacy to enhance their financial and social well-being. In collaboration with Club Egalité, Accenture Labs in Sophia Antipolis, France, is developing a virtual-reality game that helps primary and middle school students explore future-proof jobs and develop critical skills for the digital economy, with the goal of encouraging an interest in STEM careers.
Accenture Development Partnerships works across government, business and civil society, applying business and technology solutions to build capacity and strengthen programs for development organizations around the globe. For example, Accenture collaborated with the Spanish Ministry of Employment and a consortium of nonprofit partners and corporations in 2013 to create Emplea+, an online program that helps marginalized individuals develop technical, digital and soft skills needed for employment.
“The opportunity to improve lives requires collaboration across business, government and non-governmental organizations,” Nanterme said. “As leaders weigh new technologies and applications, we all must ask ourselves: Does this benefit the next generation? If the answer is yes, it’s the right thing to do.”

Safe trip, Master Rivera...
Arturo Rivera (1945-2020)
Plastic artist Arturo Rivera (Mexico City, 1945) has died this Thursday morning from a brain hemorrhage, his daughter, Emilia Rivera Mejía, confirmed on her social networks. Rivera was 75 years old and lived in Mexico City. Mexico's National Institute of Fine Arts has lamented ′′ the sensitive death of the renowned artist, who leaves a transcendent legacy in the country's plastic ".
′′ There are realities that wouldn't exist if Arturo Rivera hadn't painted them ", wrote art critic Carlos Blas Galindo, who defined him as an artist who ′′ broke into reality with the unconscious purpose or not, whether or not, to disrupt it With closed scenarios and opaque tones, and portraits of bodies hiding but opening the depth of their eyes to the watcher, Rivera managed to capture the vulnerability and darkness of their subjects from painting, engraving and sculpture .. ′′ Rivera paints what is not possible to get but painting ", Blas Galindo sentenced.


The court imposed a pre-trial restraint on the person responsible for the death of a schoolgirl in Transcarpathia
Today, on September 19, the Uzhgorod City and District Court considered the issue of pre-trial restraint for the driver of the Volkswagen, who killed a schoolgirl in Uzhgorod district. Today, the court imposed a pre-trial restraint on the 22-year-old foreigner. The man was taken into custody without the right of bail. The term of detention in a temporary detention facility is 2 months. During this time, investigators should establish all the circumstances of the tragic incident. After this, the court will review the evidence and determine the punishment for the detainee, the press service of the Uzhgorod City and District Court reported. Recall that on September 17, the driver of the Volkswagen hit a 15-year-old girl and fled from the accident scene - the schoolgirl died on the spot!

Two people were arrested in the theft of merchandise at Target at Rolling Acres Plaza in The Villages.
Victoria Susan West, 38, and Tyler Jordan McAfee, 26, both of Silver Springs, entered the store Tuesday afternoon and selected a 40-inch television from a display, three Blu-Ray DVDs, a portable fan and flashlight and put them into a shopping cart, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. They removed the anti-theft devices from the items.
They were apprehended when they attempted to leave the store.
A check of video surveillance footage from Saturday showed the pair in the store when they stole a Google Nest Hello Video Doorbell, the report said.
West and McAfee were arrested on charges of theft and removal of an anti-theft or inventory control device. Both were booked at the Lake County Jail. West’s bond was set at $13,500. McAfee’s bond was set at $17,000.


When shades of pink and white overtake the nation's capital, it's a welcome sign that spring is finally here.
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the National Park Service announced Wednesday that the city's famous cherry blossoms are expected to reach peak bloom this year between March 22-25. They say the dates were harder to predict after an unseasonably warm winter.
Peak bloom is defined as the time when 70% of the approximately 3,800 Yoshino cherry trees' blossoms are open. The park service says forecasting peak bloom is almost impossible more than 10 days in advance.
"I will say, emerging from the third warmest winter on record, this has been a particularly challenging year to read the trees and to project peak bloom," said Jeff Reinbold, superintendent of the National Mall. "Due to the warmer than average temperatures, the trees never reached their winter dormancy, which is the starting point for calculating when the blooms will emerge."
The famous trees were a gift to the U.S. from Japan in 1912.
The National Park Service created a livestream for viewers to watch the trees in bloom. Officials say the 2023 National Cherry Blossom Festival will take place between March 20 to April 16.

Open Tues. to Sun. 1-6pm

OPENING Friday May 19, 2017, 6-10 PM
HVW8 Gallery is pleased to announce “Fower Plower,” an exhibition of new paintings by New York artist Mark Gonzales. Investigating ideas of color theory, mood, the humor and geometry of Paul Klee, the graphic/non-graphic qualities of Donald Baechler, semiotics, and theology—and, of course, classic floral themes—the paintings are luminous and alive.
The artworks crackle with movement fittingly—Gonzales is a dancer, in the tradition of Merce Cunningham or Trisha Brown, but on wheels. His teenage years in 1980s Los Angeles were spent traversing the streets, which, by proxy, became his moving canvas. He earned a reputation as a pioneer of modern skateboarding—a master, albeit one not bound by flawlessness or precision, but the anarchy afforded only after achieving true mastery. It was as if he haphazardly broke the laws of nature, causing time and space to bend to him, leaving a wake of influential agitation behind him.
His art, like his poetry, is not separate from his skating. Gonzales’s canvases are filled with painterly technique honed over years of drawing and painting, but they also exhibit a shambolic quality; the works are precise and imprecise all at once. This particular body is inspired by the disappointment he felt when his business partner “sold out” in the early 1990s, the faces are bursting with bitterness. They are put-on fake smiles, cheerful in the face of misery and embarrassment. Years later, however, the harsh cynicism has softened, and the power of the smiles seems to have cracked the regret. Indeed, Gonzales seems to be saying, flowers, grown in even the harshest of conditions, can have an immutable healing power.

First published in The Irish Times, 6th August, 2022
I’m sure I’m not the only one who, in midwinter, dreams of being transported to France, where I can be found dozing on the banks of a slow-moving river in the shade of a tree, bottle of wine chilling in the water (attached to a string), with a picnic of locally bought cheese, salad, charcuterie, cold butter and a freshly baked baguette. The sun is shining and there is a gentle, cooling breeze.
I have come close to this idyll, mainly on holidays in the southwest of France, but for many of us it means the Loire valley. The region seems to promise gentle sunshine and memories of holidays past. The Loire is the longest river in France, just over 1,000km from its start in the Massif Centrale in southeastern France until it reaches the Atlantic Ocean in Saint-Nazaire. Grapes are grown along much of the river, providing us with a huge array of wines. Every style, from sparkling to sweet, is produced.
The white wines share a crisp, refreshing acidity and vibrant fruitiness, while most of the reds have an elegance and lightness. Both styles make for perfect summer drinking. I covered the red wines a few weeks ago. As for the white wines, I covered Muscadet in June, and the two other most widely grown varieties are Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc.
Sauvignon is grown in various parts of the globe, but the Loire is its spiritual home and source of some of the finest examples. Loire Sauvignon tends to be drier, the fruit a little less exuberant, often with a brisk cleansing mineral acidity. Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé are the best-known names and produce most of the finest wines, but Quincy, Reuilly, Coteaux du Giennois, Menetou-Salon and Touraine can also produce fine examples. Many of the less expensive versions, which can be very good value, will simply be labelled Val de Loire.
Chenin Blanc produces almost every style of wine, from sparkling through dry, semi-dry to lusciously sweet. Even the sweetest wines have a wonderful pure acidity that refreshes. While some young wines can seem a little austere, they go beautifully with food. The best wines will last and improve for decades, taking on a honeyed richness. Vouvray is the best-known name but Savennières Anjou, Saumur and Montlouis are all home to some excellent producers.
Sauvignon goes well with sushi, plainly cooked fish, goat’s cheese, herby salads, sauces such as pesto and fresh tomatoes of all kinds. Although less aromatic than Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc goes with most of the above foods, including plainly grilled fish, trout, poached salmon, and all sorts of summer salads.
And of course, both wines would be perfect for that al fresco lunch by the river.
Le Grand Cerf, Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2020
12.5%, €12.95 down from €15.95
Lightly aromatic with attractive ripe green fruits and lemon zest, finishing crisp and dry. A great summery aperitif or with lighter seafood and herby salads.
Pouilly-Fumé 2021, Domaine des Berthiers, Jean-Claude Dagueneau
A wonderful winning combination of perfectly ripe succulent green fruits and mouth-watering flinty mineral acidity. Great on its own, but even better with goat’s cheese, tomato salads or simply cooked white or oily fish. Outstanding value for money.
Sinople Chinon 2020, Cru du Chateau de Coulaine Organic
Deep gold colour, light with lemon zest and pears, overlaid with honey, light toast and spice. A lovely atypical complex wine that demands food. Baked salmon, chicken with lemon or roast cauliflower with tahini would be good matches.
From: Whelehan’s Wines, Loughlinstown
Vouvray Sec 2019, Le Haut-Lieu, Domaine Huet, Biodynamic
A nicely floral nose; youthful green apple, quince and pear fruits with a strong mineral backbone. A subtle, complex and precise wine with wonderful balance. Enjoy now with grilled white fish and other lighter seafood dishes or keep for up to a decade.
From: 64 Wine, Glasthule; Avoca, D4, Rathcoole, Malahide; Blackrock Cellar; Deveneys, Dundrum; Grapevine, Dalkey; La Touche, Greystones; McHugh’s, D5; Mitchell & Son, IFSC, Glashtule; Neighbourhood Wine; Redmonds, D6

It’s a bittersweet thing to see a band’s work flood back onto the charts following the death of a bandmember, but it’s something we’re seeing happen once again this week as Linkin Park’s records see a huge increase in plays following the death by suicide of the band’s lead singer Chester Bennington.
As Billboard reports, the latest chart sees the former #1 records Meteora, Minutes to Midnight and latest effort One More Light, are all back on the top 200, as well as their debut Hybrid Theory, which originally peaked at #2 back in ’00.
This chart only tracks plays up until July 20, so it seems very likely that the albums will all jump up even higher the following week, with One More Light already sitting in the 17th spot.
It’s a situation that sadly echoes the reappearance of seven of Chris Cornell’s albums in the ARIA charts following the Soundgarden frontman’s death from suicide in remarkably similar circumstances to Bennington’s passing.
Bennington had penned a heartfelt tribute to Cornell in the weeks following his death, describing his talent as “pure and unrivaled”.
“Your voice was joy and pain, anger and forgiveness, love and heartache all wrapped up into one. I suppose that’s what we all are. You helped me understand that.”
Bennington leaves behind 6 children, and an entire genre of music forever shaped by his efforts.
If you or somebody you care for needs help or information about depression, suicide, anxiety, or mental health issues, contact Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

311 - Love Song
Ringtone 311 - Love Song for your phone or iPhone you can download for free!Download
311 is the ultimate love-song. It's not your run-of-the-mill, mainstream pop ballad. No, this is something different. It commands attention and shows off its crassness in the most exquisite and inviting way possible.
The verse entices you with its meandering progression, never available for more than a few seconds before it retreats. These short-blasts of sound help you focus in on the frame of boundaries that increasingly tighten, trapping the listener and generating an all-consuming desire to hear more.
Finally, the guitars strum along the orchestrated, interweaving melody that permeates the track. As the song swells to its inevitable climax, descending quickly back to the delicate and intricate instrumental flourishes that enhance the underlying rhythm section, it's clear why millions of people enjoy this; it's like a precious love-song that never gets old.
