"Mind meadows" are an adaptation of Technique: Meadow brought to us by Justin Slocum-Bailey of Indwelling Language.
Drawing on the meadow (a physical place in the classroom to go and relax), mind meadows are one minute breaks, during which you bring your project to a complete halt, pair up with someone random and throw all your energy into some inane, but oddly contentious debate. In forcing us to think about something—anything—entirely different, the exercise provides reprieve from mentally-draining activities, allowing our brains a moment's break and acquiring a notable sense of refreshment. With little to no set up and only one minute spent, mind meadows are ideal for tight and/or thinking-heavy schedules.
To offer another example, a few days prior, our fearless leader innocently posed the question "Are graham crackers cookies or crackers?" and the room fell into chaos. Friendships lay broken, lives forever changed; you could cut the tension with a knife. I kid, of course, but after morning entirely devoted to the big wide world of archive training, we were happy for the break. Our answer didn't matter (though we all know, it's a cookie, am I right? (or am I right?)); what mattered is that our minds were taken away from our present situation, that we returned with renewed energy and perspective.


A new ad campaign that aired Tuesday morning has jump-started Washington's stalled debate over the 340B drug discount program again.
The ad is aimed at President Donald Trump and a specific proposal known as "patient definition" that has been floated in the administration's drug pricing blueprint. HHS outlined the idea in its request for information, but the proposal has also been championed in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.).
In the new ad, a group of older adults including a man wearing a red ballcap with Trump's signature Make America Great Again campaign phrase watch a television screen where Trump with HHS Secretary Alex Azar at his side announces the administration's drug pricing strategy.
The campaign comes ahead of the administration's next move on the 340B program, and also as Congress' debate over the program realigns following last week's Democratic sweep of the House majority. Republicans of the House Energy & Commerce Committee were leading the charge on an overhaul of the program to slow recent massive growth of the program after the committee's oversight panel released a report last January that recommended more accountability for the hospitals involved.
That report came on the heels of HHS' slash to Medicare Part B drug reimbursements for 340B providers. The hospital cuts started in 2018 and spurred an ongoing legal battle between major hospital groups and the Trump administration. Over the summer HHS proposed extending those cuts to outpatient facilities.
Since 2010 when the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) lifted original restrictions on 340B providers' use of contract pharmacies, the number of pharmacies within the program have increased from about 1,300 to about 20,000, according to the GAO.
The manufacturers' lobby will likely push for more stringent reporting requirements for hospitals while protecting grantees like Ryan White AIDS clinics, she added.

Schedule

Season recap

	The 1908 football season was the end of the coach John Moorehead era at Pitt.  The General Athletic Committee was charged with finding a suitable replacement.  The two leading candidates were Frank Piekarski and Joseph H. Thompson.  Mr. Piekarski was an All-American guard at the University of Pennsylvania from 1901 to 1904.  He was head football coach at Washington & Jefferson University from 1905 to 1907 and led the Red and Black to a 25–7 record.  Joe Thompson started his college football career at Geneva in 1900 and finished up with the 1905 Western University of Pennsylvania team.  He wanted to be coach in 1905 and 1906 but did not get hired.  While attending law school he coached football at Pittsburgh High School for the 1906 season and at Carnegie Tech for the 1907 season.

Some members of the Pitt student body remembered the uncomfortable situation between Coach Mosse and Mr. Thompson and demanded that their representative on the committee vote against Thompson.  On February 17, after two meetings, heated discussions and numerous votes, Joseph H. Thompson was elected track and football coach for the 1909 season. Floyd Rose, former WUP quarterback, was hired as assistant coach.

Homer Roe was elected captain by his teammates.   The graduate manager of athletics, Alexander Silverman, was advanced to full professorship and replaced by Laurence Hurst. Since the campus was moved to Oakland, a sixteen-room training house was secured at 3456 Bouquet Street.

The home football games were played at Forbes Field which opened on June 30, 1909.

The major rule changes for the 1909 season were that field goals would be worth three points, if two penalties occurred on the same play the offended team could choose which one to impose and touchbacks were brought out to the twenty-five yard line.

In the fall of 1909 students and alumni met to discuss school spirit and George M.P. Baird (class of 1909) was given credit for suggesting the Panther (felis concolor) as the University animal.  Coach Thompson quieted his critics as he took four returning starters and eight holdovers from the 1908 team along with the new recruits and led the Pitt squad to a 6–2–1 record and outscored opponents by a total of 94–26.

Game summaries

Ohio Northern

On October 2, the Joe Thompson era started at Exposition Park in front of two thousand onlookers against the Ohio Northern University Polar Bears from Ada, Ohio.  The inexperience of the Pitt squad was evident at first, but halfway through the first half the offense, behind the running of "Tex" Richards and Homer Roe, was able to sustain a drive and score a touchdown.  "Tex" Richards carried the pigskin the final ten yards for the first score.  Frank Van Doren missed the goal after.  Six minutes later Richards and Harry Ent advanced the ball to the visitors five and Ent plunged into the end zone for the second touchdown of the half.  Van Doren was successful on the goal after and Pitt led 11–0 at the break.

Coach Thompson made wholesale substitutions for the second half.  Will Robinson replaced Norman Budd at quarterback for the second half.  He broke away for a fifty-yard scoring jaunt but the referee called offside.  The Pitt second string offense did manage one long drive that culminated in a five-yard dash into the end zone by Dave Richards.  Van Doren missed the point after.  The final score read 16–0.  Ohio Northern finished the season with a 1–4 record.

The Pitt starting lineup for the game against Ohio Northern was Homer Roe (left end), Frank Van Doren (left tackle), Henry Blair (left guard), Ralph Galvin (center), George Bailey (right guard), James Stevenson (right tackle), Clarence Hapgood (right end), Norman Budd (quarterback), Charles Quailey (left halfback), Harry Ent (right halfback), and Tex Richards (fullback).  Substitutions made during the game were: Raymond Butler replaced Homer Roe at left end; Walter Henchman replaced Henry Blair at left guard; W. Leahy replaced Ralph Galvin at center; Red Frankel replaced George Bailey at right guard; Robert Peacock replaced Clarence Hapgood at right end; Will Robinson replaced Norman Budd at quarterback; William Hardie replaced Harry Ent at right halfback; and Dave Richards replaced Tex Richards at fullback.  The game consisted of one twenty-five minute half and one twenty minute half.

Marietta

The kick-off time for the Marietta College Pioneers game was changed from 3 p.m. to 10 a.m. because the Pirates were playing in the World Series.  Pitt hoped some baseball fans would visit Exposition Park for football prior to going to Forbes Field for baseball.  The Marietta team was the same veteran club that gave Pitt a scare the previous two years.  Pitt's starting ends (Homer Roe and Jack Lindsay) were both out with injuries.

The Marietta offense spent most of the first half in Pitt territory but could not score.  Late in the half Pitt substitute end Norman Budd picked up a Marietta fumble and raced sixty-five yards for the touchdown.  Center Ralph Galvin kicked the point after.  Pitt led 6–0 at the break.

In the early moments of the second half Pitt quarterback Bill Robinson returned a punt forty-five yards for a touchdown.  Galvin was successful on the point after and Pitt led 12–0.  The Pitt offense was rejuvenated and spent the rest of the game on Marietta's side of the field, but could not again penetrate the Marietta goal line.  The unfortunate part of the game was the unsportsmanlike conduct of Marietta halfback Nutter.  Prior to Marietta, he played at VPI and West Virginia.  The lineup presented by Marietta listed him as Miller but a few minutes into the game the Pitt eleven recognized who he was.  Field Judge Sam Caruthers made a decision that was reversed by the umpire.  An infuriated Mr. Nutter punched Mr. Caruthers.  Surprisingly, he was not disqualified or penalized.  Minutes later he punched Pitt tackle Frank Van Doren, which caused the crowd to voice their displeasure with the proceedings.  The police finally escorted Mr. Nutter from the premises.  Marietta finished the season with a 4–3 record.  The Pitt Athletic Committee decided that Marietta College would no longer be on the schedule.

The Pitt starting lineup for the game against Marietta was Norman Budd (left end), Frank Van Doren (left tackle), Henry Blair (left guard), Ralph Galvin (center), George Bailey (right guard), James Stevenson (right tackle), Clarence Hapgood (right end), Bill Robinson (quarterback), Charles Quailey (left halfback), Art Robinson (right halfback), and Tex Richards (fullback).  At some point during the game Red Frankel replaced George Bailey at right guard and Harry Ent replaced Art Robinson at right halfback.  The game consisted of one twenty-five minute half and one twenty minute half.

Bucknell

On October 16 Pitt played their first game at Forbes Field against the Bucknell from Lewisburg, Pa.  The final game of the World Series between the Pirates and Tigers was played in Detroit at the same time.  The baseball game updates were bulletined to the crowd every inning.

Pitt played great football from the start.  They moved the ball into Bucknell territory and punted to Bucknell on their twenty.  On second down Bucknell halfback Clark fumbled and Pitt back Harry Ent scooped up the pigskin and scampered for the first score of the game.  Ralph Galvin was successful on the point after.  Pitt led 6–0.  On Bucknell's next possession the Pitt defense stiffened and forced a punt.  Quarterback O'Brien of Bucknell punted over the goal and into the bleachers.  Pitt thought the ball was dead and ignored it.  Bucknell end Campuzanno vaulted a fence and recovered the ball.  Knox, the referee, called touchdown Bucknell.  O'Brien made the point after and the score was tied.  Pitt argued to no avail and after the game Mr. Knox admitted he made an error.   On Pitt's next possession Bucknell's defense forced a punt and their quarterback O'Brien fumbled.  Pitt halfback Charles Quailey recovered on the Bison twenty yard line.  On first down fullback "Tex" Richards raced the twenty yards into the end zone for a touchdown.  The play was called back for hurdling.  In spite of the penalty, "Tex" Richards scored again a few plays later.  Ralph Galvin kicked the point after and Pitt led at halftime 12–6.

The second half was played in Bucknell territory.  Pitt scored early in the half on a plunge by Richards with Galvin adding the point after.  Coach Thompson made wholesale substitutions.  Pitt came close to scoring again twice but lost the ball on downs and a fumble. The final score was 18–6.

Bucknell finished the season with a 3–4–2 record.

The Pitt starting lineup for the game against Bucknell was Homer Roe (left end), Henry Blair (left tackle), George Gehlert (left guard), Ralph Galvin (center), Red Frankel (right guard), James Stevenson (right tackle), Jack Lindsay (right end), Norman Budd (quarterback), Charles Quailey (left halfback), Harry Ent (right halfback), and Tex Richards (fullback).  Substitutions made during the game were: Frank Van Doren replaced Henry Blair at left tackle; Henry Blair replaced George Gehlert at left guard; Robert Peacock replaced Red Frankel at right guard; George Bailey replaced James Stevenson at right tackle; Clarence Hapgood replaced Jack Lindsay at right end; Levy replaced Charles Quailey at left halfback; Feightner replaced Harry Ent at right halfback; Raymond Butler replaced Homer Roe at left end; and Porter replaced Clarence Hapgood at right end.  The game was played in 25-minute halves.

Carlisle

In 1908 the Carlisle Indian football team was welcomed to Exposition Park that was covered with three inches of snow.  On October 23, 1909, the Carlisle Indian football team was welcomed to Forbes Field that was covered in more than six inches of mud.  Four thousand brave fans sat through the steady downpour to cheer on their team.

Early in the game Pitt moved the ball into Carlisle territory.  After an exchange of punts and a fumble recovery, Pitt had the ball on Carlisle's fifteen yard line.  Six plays later they turned the ball over on downs at the six.  Carlisle punted out of danger.  Pitt tried an onside kick that was recovered by Carlisle on the one yard line.  Carlisle punted out to the twenty-seven yard line.  Ralph Galvin missed a field goal.  Carlisle got possession on the twenty-five and could not penetrate the Pitt defense.  The Indians punted to Homer Roe and he raced fifty-eight yards for the touchdown.  Galvin made the point after and Pitt led 6–0.  The Carlisle offense then got to work in Pitt territory.  On three successive possessions the Indians tried field goals.  Houser missed the first from thirty yards out.  Libby missed from twenty-five as the ball hit the upright.  Finally, Houser sent the ball through the uprights from the fifteen and the score at halftime was 6–3.

Early in the second half Galvin was successful on a thirty-three yard field goal to increase the lead to 9–3.  Pitt managed to get into scoring territory but turned the ball over on downs at the one foot line.  A punting duel ensued and Pitt finally possessed the ball on Carlisle's nine yard line.  Tex Richards bulled his way through the muck into the end zone for the final score of the game.  The final score was 14–3.  Carlisle finished the season with an 8–3–1 record.

The Pitt starting lineup for the game against Carlisle was Homer Roe (left end), Frank Van Doren (left tackle), Henry Blair (left guard), Ralph Galvin (center), Red Frankel (right guard), James Stevenson (right tackle), Jack Lindsay (right end), Norman Budd (quarterback), Charles Quailey (left halfback), Harry Ent (right halfback), and Tex Richards (fullback).  Substitutions made during the game were: Ray Butler replaced Homer Roe at left end; George Gehlert replaced Henry Blair at left guard; George Bailey replaced Red Frankel at right guard; Robert Peacock replaced Jack Lindsay at right end; Art Robinson replaced Charles Quailey at left halfback; and Ross Feightner replaced Tex Richards at fullback.  The game was played in 35-minute halves.

Notre Dame

On October 30, in beautiful fall weather, six thousand fans welcomed the Notre Dame football team to Pittsburgh for the first game in what would become a major rivalry.

Notre Dame scored on a forward pass from Hamilton to Matthews four minutes into the first half.  Mathews kicked the point after and Notre Dame led 6–0.  Pitt was able to move the ball against the heavier Irish but fumbles, penalties and the Irish defense stymied their efforts to get into the end zone.  At the end of the half Pitt drove the ball to the one yard line of Notre Dame only to lose the ball on downs.

Most of the second half saw the Pitt defense preventing the Irish offense from adding to the score. Coach Thompson substituted fresh bodies into the lineup, but the Irish defense was too strong and rendered the Pitt offense ineffective.  The Irish missed two field goals.  Vaughan tried from thirty-eight yards and  Ryan tried from seventeen yards.  Notre Dame halfback Dwyer thought he caught a touchdown pass but referee Butler ruled otherwise.  Mr. Dwyer punched Mr. Butler and was immediately disqualified.  Pitt tackle Frank Van Doren injured his ribcage late in the game.  Pitt had the ball on the Notre Dame twenty-eight yard line as time expired.  Notre Dame won the game 6–0 and they would finish the season with a 7–0–1 record.

The Pitt starting lineup for the game against Notre Dame was Homer Roe (left end), Frank Van Doren (left tackle), Henry Blair (left guard), Ralph Galvin (center), Red Frankel (right guard), James Stevenson (right tackle), Jack Lindsay (right end), Norman Budd (quarterback), Charles Quailey (left halfback), Harry Ent (right halfback), and Tex Richards (fullback).  Substitutions made during the game were: Will Robinson replaced Norman Budd at quarterback; Norman Budd replaced Jack Lindsay at right end; Robert Peacock replaced Frank Van Doren at left tackle; Ray Butler replaced Norman Budd at right end; Art Robinson replaced Harry Ent at right halfback; W. Leahy replaced Henry Blair at left guard; George Bailey replaced Red Frankel at right guard; and Ross Feightner replaced Charles Quailey at left halfback.  The game was played in 30-minute halves.

at West Virginia

On November 6 the Pitt football team and some one hundred students and alumni took the B. & O. Railroad to Morgantown, West Virginia for the 1909 edition of the Backyard Brawl.  After losing five of the first six games of this series, Pitt was now on a four-game win streak.  Pitt was missing two starters from its lineup, Frank Van Doren and Captain Homer Roe due to injuries.  Tillie Dewar, a graduate transfer from Washington & Jefferson, became eligible and replaced Roe at end.  Robert Peacock replaced Van Doren at tackle.  A morning rain rendered the field muddy, but the sun appeared at game time and three thousand fans came through the turnstile.

On Pitt's first possession they carried the ball methodically down the field to West Virginia's five yard line.  On first and goal quarterback Budd fumbled the hand-off and West Virginia fullback Springer (former Pitt fullback) recovered.  The remainder of the first half was played in Mountaineer territory but Pitt was unable to capitalize.  Ralph Galvin missed three field goal tries.

The second half was more of the same as the Pitt offense advanced the ball to the Mountaineer's thirteen yard line and turned it over on downs.  The Pitt defense played good football, but the offense was stymied by fumbles, penalties and the slick footing. The Mountaineers won a moral victory with the 0–0 tie.  West Virginia finished the season with a 4–3–2 record.

The Pitt starting lineup for the game against West Virginia was Tillie Dewar (left end), Robert Peacock (left tackle), W. Leahy (left guard), Ralph Galvin (center), Red Frankel (right guard), James Stevenson (right tackle), Jack Lindsay (right end), Norman Budd (quarterback), Art Robinson (left halfback), Harry Ent (right halfback), and Tex Richards (fullback).  Substitutions made during the game were: Will Robinson replaced Norman Budd at quarterback; Charles Quailey replaced Art Robinson at left halfback; Henry Blair replaced Robert Peacock at left tackle; George Bailey replaced Red Frankel at right guard; Clarence Hapgood replaced Jack Lindsay at right end; Ross Feightner replaced Harry Ent at right halfback; George Gehlert replaced W. Leahy at left guard; and Ray Butler replaced Tillie Dewar at left end.  The game consisted of one thirty minute half and one twenty minute half.

Washington & Jefferson

On November 13 the undefeated Washington & Jefferson Red and Black arrived at Forbes Field to attempt to extend their three-game winning streak over the Pitt eleven.  Pitt's record against the Red and Black was 1–8.  Over 12,000 fans packed the bleachers to cheer on their team.  Both teams had bands which marched with students and fans through town into the stadium prior to kick off.  The Pitt team was at full strength for this encounter.

Pitt's Ralph Galvin kicked off to W & J halfback Bill Marshall and he returned the ball to the Red and Black 20-yard line.  On the first scrimmage play W & J quarterback Forsythe fumbled the hand off to Marshall and Frank Van Doren recovered for Pitt on the sixteen yard line.  Two quarterback runs advanced the ball to the five and finally fullback "Tex" Richards bulled his way into the end zone for the first Pitt touchdown.  Ralph Galvin kicked the point after and Pitt led 6–0 after two minutes of play.  Later in the half, Pitt had the ball on the Red and Black 31-yard line.  On first down quarterback Bill Robinson completed a forward pass to Homer Roe for a gain of twenty-seven yards to the four.  On second and goal Richards again plunged into the end zone for the score.  Galvin was successful on the point after and Pitt led 12–0 at the break.

Early in  the second half W & J Captain Freitag kicked a thirty-four yard field goal to put the Red and Black on the scoreboard.  The Pitt defense did not allow another score and held the Red and Black to one first down the entire game.  A flubbed punt allowed Pitt to gain possession on the Red and Black 14-yard line.  Quarterback Will Robinson gained five yards and an off sides penalty advanced the ball to the four.  On second down halfback Art Robinson followed tackle Van Doren into the end zone.  Galvin missed the point after and Pitt held on to win 17–3.  Washington & Jefferson finished the season with a 8–1–1 record.

The Pitt starting lineup for the game against Wash. & Jeff. was Homer Roe (left end), Frank Van Doren (left tackle), William Leahy (left guard), Ralph Galvin (center), Red Frankel (right guard), James Stevenson (right tackle), Jack Lindsay (right end), William Robinson (quarterback), Art Robinson (left halfback), Harry Ent (right halfback), and Tex Richards (fullback).  Substitutions made during the game were: Tillie Dewar replaced Homer Roe at left end; George Bailey replaced Red Frankel at right guard; Robert Peacock replaced Jack Lindsay at right end; Charles Quailey replaced Art Robinson at left halfback; and Ross Feightner replaced Harry Ent at right halfback.  The game was played in 35-minute halves.

Mount Union

The Mount Union College football team from Alliance, Ohio was the warm-up opponent before the Thanksgiving Day battle with Pennsylvania State College.  Coach Thompson started the scrub team and according to The Pittsburgh Sunday Post, "Both teams put up a poor exhibition of football".

In the first half, Pitt quarterback Norman Budd fumbled a punt and Mount Union recovered on the Pitt twenty yard line.  The Pitt defense held, but Mount Union guard McGregor booted a thirty-yard field goal for a 3–0 lead for the visitors.  Later in the half, Pitt fullback Ross Feightner recovered a fumble on the Mount Union twenty yard line.  On first down halfback Charles Quailey gained five yards and fumbled the ball back to the guests.  Coach Thompson was not happy at halftime.

Pitt received the second half kick off. Halfback Quailey carried three straight plays and gained fifty yards to Mount Union's twenty yard line.  From there, he and fullback Feightner advanced the ball to the five.  On first down Feightner bulled his way into the end zone for Pitt's first score.  Budd missed the point after and Pitt led 5–3.  On the next kickoff Quailey fielded the ball on the six and raced one hundred and four yards for a touchdown.  The point after was successful and Pitt led 11–3.  Coach Thompson sent the first team into the game for the closing minutes and "Tex" Richards scored a touchdown to make the final 17–3.  Mount Union finished the season with an 8–2 record.

The game consisted of one twenty-five minute half and one twenty minute half.

Penn State

Fifteen thousand fanatics witnessed the annual Thanksgiving Day football game between the Pennsylvania State College Nittany Lions and University of Pittsburgh.  Penn State was unbeaten with four victories and two ties.  The winner of this game would be the football champion of Pennsylvania.  Both teams were at full strength and the weather was perfect.

Penn State dominated the first half.  They totaled eleven first downs and gained 181 yards of offense.  Pitt had no first downs and only 22 yards of offense.  The Pitt defense struggled to keep the game close.  Penn State quarterback Vorhis missed a 19 yard field goal.  The Nittanies then lost the ball on downs at the Pitt 15-yard line.  On State's next possession they lost the ball on downs on Pitt's 3-yard line.  Pitt punted out of trouble, but Penn State advanced the ball to the 7-yard line.  State halfback Bull McCleary carried the pigskin into the end zone for the only score of the game.  Vorhis missed the point after.

In the second half, the Pitt offense outgained State 60 yards to 54.  Pitt had two first downs and State had none.  Pitt could not sustain a drive and lost the game 5–0.  Penn State finished the season 5–0–2 and won the second leg toward permanent possession of the Spalding Trophy.

Public Health and Public Art (Part 2)
by: Laura Kochman
Photo by Dr. Meagan Corrado.
Porch Light Program Director Laure Biron and Storiez founder Meagan Corrado both work at the intersection of art and mental health, with the goal of creating trauma-informed communities. But what does that mean? And how does it work? We brought these two together to talk about this important, meaningful practice in a thoughtful, two-part conversation.
READ PART 1
When it comes to social stigmas about mental health, sometimes feelings of embarrassment and fear can keep people from seeking care. Does working with art help people feel more comfortable talking about mental health?
Meagan: Absolutely. Kids and teenagers, when they hear that they have a therapist, they're just like, "Ugh." It's an instinctual barrier, because they've heard things about therapists before, and it feels too formal, too clinical, too much like, "You went through intensive training just to know how to talk to me." It feels awkward and forced. That's part of what informed the creation of Storiez, because a lot of the interventions out there are very off-putting for youth. To even introduce them to the interventions—just the names alone sound scary. It sounds like something that would be done in a laboratory, not something that feels approachable and relatable. It's why my materials are very colorful and full of photographs. The goal is that we don't see the healing process as something that has to be so scary—because historically, it has been scary. It looks intimidating. It looks unapproachable. It looks like something that I wouldn't want to be involved in if I was a youth.
Laure: It's something that is done to you, rather than collaboratively with you.
Meagan: Yes, and the arts always make things more approachable. It gives people power over their own experiences, and encourages them to personalize their experience of therapy, to make meaning in their own way.

Laure: Do you think also that there's something powerful for those kids in having an output? Typically, therapy has no output. You just sit with a client and talk and talk, and there's no there there.
Meagan: Absolutely—we talk about a holding environment, or a safe space, and if art can be that space for kids, they can go back to that project and know that it contains their thoughts. When they make a collage, they can infuse it with their experiences, and it's something tangible that they can look at. It's not something in their mind, or something behind closed doors.
Laure: We also find that in the mural-making process, it builds a sense of self-efficacy to say, "I made that." It's really effective in ways that other therapeutic interventions try to get at, but they don't have an output, so there's no artifact left over from the process. We work often with folks who are either in recovery or who are dealing with addiction in some way, and I think it's really powerful for those folks to be able to point at something and say, "My imprint is on that." It's symbolic of a process that they've been going through.
Meagan: Within the context of trauma survivors, whether they're youth or whether they're adults struggling with addiction, they don't have something where they can say, "Look at what I created." Even if it's ugly, even if it's messy, even if they hate it, even if they want to crumple it up, even if it's beautiful and they're proud of it—they don't have opportunities to say, "I created this." That kind of opportunity isn't embedded in our society. It's empowering to be able to say it.

Laure: Yeah, definitely. A lot of folks want us to take pictures of them working on whatever project they're doing in class, and often if you ask what they're going to do with those photos, they'll say that they're sending the photos to their families. They want to show their families that they can do something constructive with their lives. So I think it's really powerful for people to work on something that will have an end product, that they can either just have for themselves privately or that they can show to others.
Meagan: The other part of it, too, is that trauma survivors' lives can be so filled with destruction. Destruction of relationships, destruction of the self, destruction of their thoughts, their view of the future. There isn't room for creativity. And when you create that space to make something, it opens up another world—everything doesn't have to be destruction.
How did you start working at the intersection of art and mental health?
Meagan: When I was a kid, I did creative writing all the time, and in 2012, I started doing mosaic. I finished my dissertation work in 2016, so I had been doing mosaic work for a few years. It was a parallel process of exploring, creating, and healing myself, and then also learning all the theory, all the clinical interventions. I felt like something was missing from the clinical side—this thing that's all around us, the creative spirit—it's not here. So how could I infuse it into the process for the people that I help?

Laure: I ended up in Philadelphia back in 2007, to start my MFA at PAFA, and I started working through my own stuff. I started reading a lot of psychoanalytic theory that was informing my artwork. I was also working at Mural Arts in the Art Education department with the program that they called ArtWorks—with the same kind of youth who are in our current Restorative Practices Youth program—and I felt totally ill-equipped for working in that classroom. At the same time, I was equipped with all these artistic skills, and I was starting to see the kind of change you would see in the clinical setting, but it was in the kids that I was working with. And I thought, "Oh, that's the thing I want to do." So as soon as I finished my MFA program, I enrolled at Bryn Mawr to do my social work program, in 2009. I was like, "Okay, I need the other half of my education." And then the Porch Light position opened up at the right moment, which allowed me to lean into that work. I wasn't sure until then how to really mesh the two, but it came out of my own artistic and teaching practices. I realized that these things were all connected, that they're all the same.
Can you talk a little bit about the focus on trauma in your work?
Laure: In my experience, it's impossible to work in any field that in any way touches on mental health without having a trauma component. All of us have experienced trauma in all different kinds of ways, and to label it as one or the other kind of misses the point. Operating from a trauma-aware place in whatever community we're in—taking it a step farther, outside of mental health, talking about community work—that's when we're best servicing the folks that we're working with.
Meagan: I've never not worked in a traumatized system, or worked with youth that were not in some way impacted by trauma. Even the youth that you would initially think were not, were. Trauma impacts us on so many levels. A lot of times we think about it as interpersonal violence, but so many systemic forms of trauma impact who were are and how we progress as individuals and as communities. If you can help someone manage their trauma symptoms, then you can help them manage their depression, their anxiety, their mood swings. The root of a whole lot of mental illness is trauma. It has different masks depending on the context, the person, the community, but when you take the mask off, it's trauma.

Laure: Instead of labeling who has experienced trauma and who hasn't, approaching community-based work from the perspective of being trauma-aware is good for everybody. I think we'll have a "trickle-out" effect by helping folks approach their own neighborhoods, their own lives and families, in a way that's trauma-informed.
Meagan: In the work that we both do, it's about helping people be creative, and it's about helping people find safety. It's about building connection, repairing things that have been broken. And there's something universal about that, that extends even if you don't identify as a trauma survivor. These are all things that we need in order to develop as healthy individuals.
Laure: And it helps us be healthy support systems for the other people in our lives—like how they tell you to put your oxygen mask on before you help somebody else. It's the same concept. When you feel safe, you're better situated to create safe space for others. It just makes for a better, healthier community.
What is it about creativity that applies to mental health? Why use art as a vehicle for wellness?
Laure: Why do we have to live in these spaces of imagination to heal from trauma? The first part is getting buy-in. We live in a city that's busy cutting art and music classes, where kids are not getting enough attention around creative writing. Anywhere that we can infuse the spirit of creativity and imagination, you'll also find it starts to create a community that has the ability to be trauma-aware.
Meagan: What is it like to wake up in the morning and have no imagination, to have no color? To have no art, to have nothing to look forward to, to not imagine a different future for yourself, a different path for your life? If we don't have that, then what are we here for? Creativity gives us purpose, drive, the strength to keep going even when we've been through challenges. Imagination helps us get back up again every time.
I felt like something was missing from the clinical side—this thing that's all around us, the creative spirit—it's not here. So how could I infuse it into the process for the people that I help?
- DR. MEAGAN CORRADO
Laure: That gets back to the Mural Arts mission—I think about how our collection of public art is meant to be everywhere, and it's meant to inspire that kind of creativity and imagination for everyone. It's not just behind museum walls.
Meagan: Programs like ours are also saying that creativity is in you—it's on the walls around you, it's in the programs that you go to, and there's imagination inside of you that, if you can tap into it, you can survive a whole lot more challenges.
Laure: And it's not only for artists. Everyone has that creative capacity within them. It's just having an opportunity and a belief in self to unlock that. What both of us do provides a space for that. I'm grateful for it, as a clinician and as an artist and as a human being.

From PH Mom to Registered Nurse: A Story of Love and Determination
by Colleen Steele | June 7, 2021
Nurses are remarkable people. My respect for them has grown significantly throughout my son's pulmonary hypertension (PH) and transplant journey.
Their job requires important skills, intelligence, patience, persuasiveness, compassion, energy, emotional control, a strong stomach — the list is endless. And I can't think of a more suitable person to fulfill these qualifications than a mother who has experience caring for a PH child.
Carrie Walls is one of those remarkable people pursuing nursing, all while caring for a child battling PH and several other rare diseases. In an email interview, Carrie discussed both experiences and how she manages them.

Carrie has three sons: Nolan, 16, Bennett, 14, and Triston, 9.
Triston was born with two ventricular septal defects, two atrial septal defects, and an extremely rare congenital heart defect, cor triatriatum.
He also has a rare genetic disorder, megalencephaly-capillary malformation syndrome, which Carrie explained comes with global developmental delays.
"He is nonverbal. This has probably been the most challenging because he is unable to tell us if he is feeling different, if he is having any pain or having trouble breathing. I have to pay close attention to all the signs and symptoms that he shows."
Carrie holds Triston on Dec. 21, 2013, a week after his open-heart surgery. (Courtesy of Carrie Walls)
Triston's medical journey has been difficult. At 7 months, he had his first open-heart surgery. At 10 months, he went into respiratory distress, had an emergency cardiac catheterization, was diagnosed with pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS), and had another open-heart surgery. Triston was diagnosed with PH during his recovery.
Over the past six years, Triston has fought high pressures and undergone two more open-heart surgeries and 19 cardiac catheterizations.
But with a thankful heart, Carrie shared that for the last two years — ironically, the entire time she was in nursing school — both Triston's PVS and PH were stable.
But one week after starting her last prerequisite class, Triston was admitted to the hospital and Carrie almost dropped out of nursing school.
"I talked to my professor who fought hard for me to stay in her class. I prayed about it and begged God that if I was meant to be a nurse to please make it possible for me to learn and continue to be the best for Triston, too," Carrie wrote.
Triston's journey influenced Carrie's decision to become a nurse. She had considered it before but thought she would never have the time or money to go through with it.

Carrie explained that after spending so much time in the hospital with Tristan in the first four years of his life, she realized how short life is, and that no one is promised tomorrow. She was also inspired by the nurses who cared for her son.
"They truly made the time in the hospital bearable. They treated us like family and really changed our lives. I knew I wanted to give back to other families in the way nurses helped us."
In January 2018, Carrie decided to start the process. After taking a college chemistry class she applied to a nursing program and was accepted.
Carrie is proud to soon be graduating from nursing school. (Photo by Brynna Wehner Photography)
The program started in August 2019, and nearly two years later, Carrie graduated from nursing school. She is currently studying for her boards.
"I am hoping to take them within the next 6 weeks and finally be a registered nurse!" she wrote.
Carrie acknowledged that balancing the responsibilities of a single mom to a medically fragile child while attending nursing school was hard, but she managed with an amazing support system that helped her with just about everything.
"I don't know what I would have done without them," she said.
There will be a lot of logistics to work out as her career takes off, but with her strong support system, Carrie is hopeful she can do it.
"And if it is not what is best for my kids," she added," then I will have to adjust my sails and do what is best for them."
Carrie's dream is to help cardiac and PH kids in the ICU or step-down units at the hospital where Triston was treated. She would welcome the opportunity to provide those families with medical care and understanding.
"I will know exactly what they are going through."

When studying congenital heart defects and pulmonary issues, Carrie had the opportunity to tell Triston's story to her classmates. She used the impact nurses had on her family as an example of how their career paths will do the same for many in the years to come.
Carrie believes that nurses who have lived on the other side of the fence can bring understanding and perspective to not only PH families, but to the physicians and nurses caring for them.
If you are a PH parent considering a career in nursing, Carrie's advice is: "Just do it!"

"Minimum confinement reinforcement for prestressed concrete piles and a" by Sri Sritharan, Ann-Marie Cox et al.
Jinwei Huang, Shanghai Xuhui Land Development Co.
K. Arulmoli, Earth Mechanics Inc.
The design of prestressed concrete piles in seismic regions is required to include confinement reinforcement in potential plastic hinge regions. However, the existing requirements for quantifying this reinforcement vary significantly, often resulting in unconstructible details. This paper presents a rational approach for designing minimum confinement reinforcement for prestressed concrete piles in seismic regions. By varying key variables, such as the concrete strength, prestressing force, and axial load, the spiral reinforcement quantified according to the proposed approach provides a minimum curvature ductility capacity of about 18, while the resulting ultimate curvature is 28% greater than an estimated target curvature for seismic design. This paper also presents a new axial load limit for prestressed piles, an integrated framework for seismic design of piles and superstructure, the dependency of pile displacement capacity on surrounding soils, and how further reduction to confinement reinforcement could be achieved, especially in medium to soft soils and in moderate to low seismic regions.

Susan B. Anthony Asks People to Sympathize with Slaves
Date(s): January 1, 1859
Location(s): NEW YORK, New York
Tag(s): Anti-slavery, Women's Right
Rating: 3.94 (16 votes)
Susan B. Anthony was born in 1820 into a Quaker family full of activist traditions. According to the Susan B. Anthony House, in 1845, after moving to Rochester the family became very active in the anti-slavery movement. Ignoring opposition and abuse, she traveled and campaigned for the abolition of slavery and women's rights to their own property and earnings. She also campaigned for women's labor organizations from the 1840s until her death in 1906.
Anthony gave a speech in 1859 questioning American Slavery. She painted a picture of slavery that puts the white population in that position. "Let us feel that it is our own children," she said, "ruthlessly torn from our yearning mother hearts, sold on the auction block to the highest bidder." She drove the points to the heart of those in attendance of her speech. She went on to parallel slavery to having their own sisters and daughters exposed in public. She then called to the audience asking to make the slave's case their own, to feel bound with the slave in his shackles of slavery. "Make the slave their neighbor, and love him as oneself," she admonished, quoting Matthew 22:30.
She made the argument that the problem with slavery has nothing to do with the Bible or the Constitution, but was truly a battle within the conscience. In addition, that one-sixth the population of a civilization, bent on elevating and refining, was denied all educational, industrial, social, and political rights and privileges. She brought up an excellent point that many northerners put all the blame on the south for being the slaveholders but merely the northerners are forgetting that the slave as she puts it, "is a human being like ourselves," and goes on to that then "we are bound up with the slave-holder, in his guilt."

Female Viagra Gets a Key Green Light
Women have far fewer options than men when it comes to treating sexual dysfunction.
If you're a man suffering from erectile dysfunction, you have many treatment options, including prescription medications like Viagra that have been shown to be highly effective.
But if you're a woman who has difficulty being in the mood for sex, well, you're pretty much out of luck pharmacologically. There are currently no FDA-approved drugs for treating low sexual desire in women. However, a drug called flibanserin, having been rejected by the FDA twice, recently received a greenlight from an FDA advisory committee. The 18-6 vote recommended that the FDA approve flibanserin for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in pre-menopausal women. That's not the same as receiving outright FDA approval, but it's a step beyond where any other prescription medication for increasing sexual desire in women has gone.
Flibanserin's Rocky Road to FDA Approval
North Carolina pharmaceutical company Sprout Pharmaceuticals bought flibanserin from a German drug company in 2011, after it had already failed to get FDA approval as a treatment for depression and for low libido in women. Sprout's clinical trial of over 1,000 women reported a doubling of the number of "satisfying sexual events" for women on the drug. However, those taking a placebo also reported an increase in desire, though not as big a boost as the women taking the real drug.
Last year, the FDA demanded more clinical studies on flibanserin, including studies on how it affects driving (because sleepiness can be a side effect), its interaction with other drugs, and how the liver metabolizes the drug. Sprout submitted those study results late last year, and were given the FDA advisory committee approval in June.
How Flibanserin Works
Flibanserin works in a completely different way than drugs like Viagra. Whereas Viagra and its competitors address blood flow to the penis, flibanserin affects the balance of brain chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine. Sexual desire can plummet when these two neurotransmitters are out of balance. Another difference is that while Viagra is taken on an as-needed basis, flibanserin will have to be taken as a daily therapy. So although you may hear of flibanserin referred to as "Viagra for women," it isn't strictly true, because it doesn't work the same way.
What Is It Like to Take Flibanserin?
Amanda Parrish participated in clinical trials for flibanserin and says it really worked for her. Married in 2005, Parrish said that after a few years she lost interest in initiating sex, saying she tried to be asleep before her husband came to bed to avoid intimacy. She says there wasn't a problem with arousal, and she loved her husband as much as ever. She told Time, "From my neck down, my body responds perfectly. What's missing is the lack of desire to start. I became an obligatory participant instead of an initiator."
Parrish says she was hesitant about taking the drug, worried whether it would turn her into a "sex kitten." But she says her fears were unfounded, because the drug simply "brought me back to where I was.
Supporters Say It's About Equality
There are flibanserin supporters who say that the FDA's eagerness to approve drugs for male sexual dysfunction and their lack of approval for counterpart drugs for women indicates a sexist bias. They say there should be just as much research into female sexual functioning as there has been for males. The sexual disorder itself has been the subject of controversy too. In 2013, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders took out HSDD and replaced it with "female sexual interest / arousal disorder" (FSIAD). The prevalence of the disorder, whatever it's called, has been debated as well, with some studies saying it affects about 10% of women and others saying it affects more than 40%.
Detractors Say Flibanserin Simply Doesn't Work That Well
Those who are less enthusiastic about flibanserin say their lack of support is because the drug doesn't work that well. They question the benefit the clinical trials showed compared to the long term nature of the drug. In other words, is it worth it to women to have to take a drug every day in order to enjoy sex somewhat more than they used to? Though the FDA has always been lukewarm toward flibanserin, they insist they're not pushing some sort of sexist agenda that male sexual satisfaction is more important than female sexual satisfaction. The FDA insists that rushing to approve a drug with underwhelming clinical data would not be responsible.
The FDA insists it isn't sexist, but hasn't been wowed by flibanserin's clinical data.
Is FDA Approval Guaranteed?
While the advisory committee approval of flibanserin is an encouraging sign, and while the FDA usually follows advisory committee recommendations, they're not obligated to do so. But with the clinical data on driving, liver metabolism, and drug interactions, Sprout has taken a major step toward approval it was unable to take in the past.
Flibanserin must now obtain approval from the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. If the drug undergoes the FDA's "standard review," it will be nearly a year before we'll know whether it's approved. The FDA does have the ability to run a "priority review" which only takes six months, but it's doubtful flibanserin will be considered a big enough breakthrough to warrant a fast-track review.
If the drug is ultimately approved by the FDA, it will likely carry side-effect warnings on the box, may only be prescribed by certified doctors, and could require that a patient registry be established so that further safety data can be collected after the drug hits the market under its proposed brand name Addyi. But you probably won't see it in pharmacies until next summer, assuming it gets FDA approval.
Sprout isn't the only pharmaceutical company working on treatment for low sexual desire in women. Palatin Technologies, Inc. is developing a drug called bremelanotide that works in yet a different way from Viagra and flibanserin, and that could be taken on an as-needed basis. Originally tested as a sunless tanning pill, bremelanotide didn't make people tan, but did results in increased sexual arousal in some test subjects. It has been unable to obtain FDA approval too.

Zima přichází : proč je nutné zastavit Vladimira Putina /
by Kasparov, Garri, 1963-
Garry Kimovich Kasparov (, ; born Garik Kimovich Weinstein, 13 April 1963) is a Russian chess grandmaster, former world chess champion, writer, and political activist, whom many consider to be the greatest chess player of all time. From 1986 until his retirement in 2005, Kasparov was ranked world No. 1 for 225 out of 228 months. His peak rating of 2851, achieved in 1999, was the highest recorded until being surpassed by Magnus Carlsen in 2013. Kasparov also holds records for consecutive professional tournament victories (15) and Chess Oscars (11).
Kasparov became the youngest ever undisputed World Chess Champion in 1985 at age 22 by defeating then-champion Anatoly Karpov. He held the official FIDE world title until 1993, when a dispute with FIDE led him to set up a rival organization, the Professional Chess Association. In 1996 he became the first world champion to lose a match to a computer under standard time controls, when he lost to the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue in a highly publicized match. He continued to hold the "Classical" World Chess Championship until his defeat by Vladimir Kramnik in 2000. In spite of losing the title, he continued winning tournaments and was the world's highest-rated player when he retired from professional chess in 2005.
After Kasparov retired, he devoted his time to politics and writing. He formed the United Civil Front movement, and joined as a member of The Other Russia, a coalition opposing the administration and policies of Vladimir Putin. In 2008, he announced an intention to run as a candidate in that year's Russian presidential race, but failure to find a sufficiently large rental space to assemble the number of supporters that is legally required to endorse such a candidacy led him to withdraw. Kasparov blamed "official obstruction" for the lack of available space. Although he is widely regarded in the West as a symbol of opposition to Putin, he was barred from the presidential ballot, as the political climate in Russia makes it difficult for opposition candidates to organize.
Kasparov is currently chairman for the Human Rights Foundation and chairs its International Council. In 2017, he founded the Renew Democracy Initiative (RDI), an American political organization promoting and defending liberal democracy in the U.S. and abroad. He also serves as chairman of the group.

After having our Universities Studying Slavery (USS) team take a much-needed break in December, we continue to catch up on all the exciting developments in the world of schools coming to terms with slavery and racism in institutional pasts. We're thrilled to share with everyone today that Queens University of Charlotte officially signed on in late 2021. Queens University is the eighth school in North Carolina to become a member of the consortium, joining the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Salem Academy & College, Elon University, Davidson College, Appalachian State University, Guilford College, and Meredith College. We welcome Queens University of Charlotte to the consortium here in the new year!
Founded in 1857 as Charlotte Female Institute, Queens University, a private coeducational university located in Charlotte, North Carolina, today serves nearly 2,500 students who represent 44 states and 70 foreign countries.
How the Queens University community understands, shares, and represents its history is essential to its ability to live out its institutional values. Among those values are integrity and respect – emphasizing a sense of caring and community by promoting diversity and respect for all people while recognizing the importance of personal integrity and ethical action – and the value of stewardship – a commitment to responsibly managing its heritage, its resources and its reputation in the community to ensure that it remains a source of pride for our students, faculty, staff, donors, and alumni. That is why in March 2020, after library staff members shared concerns about a documented history of slavery connections, Queens President Daniel Lugo commissioned a task force consisting of faculty, staff, students, and alumni to examine and report on the university's historical relationship with slavery and its legacies.
Guided by its charge, resources from the USS consortium, as well as primary and secondary source research, the task force initially focused primarily on two key areas; examining named campus buildings and entities, and the university's public digitized historical materials. The group's findings showed that four out of five initial directors of the Charlotte Female Institute (Queens University's original name) were enslavers. The group also documented connections between founders Robert and Margaret Anna Burwell and slavery, including the ownership and brutal treatment of enslaved persons. While the group confirmed that documentary evidence does not directly link the namesake of twenty-seven other campus spaces and entities with slavery or white supremacy, they found that the public digitized yearbook collection contains numerous instances of images, textual items, and campus activities that depict racial and racist perspectives and prejudices.
Recognizing that there is significant work to be done to examine and reconstruct the institution's post-nineteenth century history, the mission of Queens University's task force is to make an ongoing commitment to the work of understanding, sharing and growing from the knowledge of the institution's past to inform and shape the university's present and future.
Their team is confident that Queens University of Charlotte's participation in this growing and worthwhile collaboration—the movement of Universities Studying Slavery—will be of mutual benefit as we all work together to educate our communities and atone our common pasts.


Students who have returned from abroad often need time to reflect on their experiences in order to better understand the experiences. They need opportunities to put the lessons they have learned into action. They recognize certain patterns of cultural difference from their own experiences, but want to learn more.
Webinars for returned study abroad students are held periodically throughout the summer and academic year. Webinars are typically one hour long and available at various times of the day and week.

Arguably the hottest rapper in the game, the Miami based phenomenon Rick Ross hits the UK for an exclusive live show at London's Proud2 on Monday 2nd April.

The distinctive 300-pound, six foot rapper tattooed with pictures of AK-47s embraced his city's reputation on his debut single Hustlin' in 2006. While Atlanta and Houston artists were establishing their cities as Southern strongholds, Ross aimed at putting Miami back in rap's national spotlight.

No more information yet, but judging by Mr Drastick's past work this should be something to check.

Prosecution seeks stiffer sentence for card cheat
Graduate who spent almost $4,000 with misappropriated debit card sentenced to short detention order
K. C. VIJAYAN, THE STRAITS TIMES
Prosecutors wanted a dedit card cheat to be put behind bars for three months, but the court decided instead to give the new Singapore Management University (SMU) graduate a short detention order of 14 days and 220 hours of community service.
The prosecution is now appealing against the sentence given to Goh Bing Kun, 27.
Goh had admitted using a debit card found by an accomplice at Zouk on Jan 24, 2015. Both men used it to buy drinks.
The next day, they used the card again to buy other items, including two iPhones in Bencoolen Street.
Goh, who was once awarded National Serviceman of the Year while with the 1st Commando Battalion, was then studying at SMU. He recently graduated and is now a management trainee.
The police nabbed him and his accomplice J. Xander Roslan, 28, two weeks after the card owner Evan Kong, 24, reported the unauthorised transactions. Roslan is due to be dealt with separately.
Man charged with submitting false documents to get bank loan
Woman gets 16 months' jail for fraudulent Covid-19 grant claim, among other crimes
While on probation, S'pore youth posed as girl offering sexual services to scam victims of $1,670
Fish & Co supervisor cheats restaurant of $10,726
Goh admitted to three charges - two for cheating and one for misappropriating the debit card.
Deterrence is well achieved through community-based sentences. Goh Bing Kun's lawyer on his client's sentence
Eight other charges were taken into consideration. All were for cheating to induce the delivery of property.
Goh paid back the total sum lost by Mr Kong, which amounted to $3,945.95, in July 2015.Deputy Public Prosecutor Bryan Leow argued that the offences were serious enough for Goh to be jailed for three months in all.
But Goh's lawyer James Ow Yong countered that rehabilitation should be the dominant sentencing consideration.
"Deterrence is well achieved through community-based sentences," he said.
The lawyer added that Goh is progressing well in his career, among other things. In judgment grounds issued earlier this month, District Judge Low Wee Ping agreed that a community-based sentence was appropriate.
It "can achieve an even stronger deterrent effect with a short period of incarceration, while not extend to such a long period as to jeopardise the accused's career and future prospects", the judge said.
Judge Low noted that Goh had voluntarily sought counselling and taken ownership of his mistakes, and he accepted that Goh was "significantly remorseful".
Goh's sentence has been stayed pending the appeal.

Legal aid is important to guaranteeing equal access to justice for all, as offered for by Article 6.three of the European Convention on Human Rights concerning criminal law circumstances.

If you are granted civil legal aid for a protection order you will possibly not have to repay any of it. The profitable lawyer works for a flat charge prenegotiated with the Legal Help Board.

Discover about the variations amongst same-sex marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships, plus an overview of the Defense of Marriage Act. Illinois residents who received a civil union elsewhere can upgrade their civil union to a marriage in the same way that any other civil union can be upgraded – via conversion or by way of marriage. You and your spouse will continue to have particular legal responsibilities to every other and neither of you can enter into a marriage or another civil union or substantially comparable legal connection till the marriage is dissolved.
A religious marriage is viewed much more as a spiritual bond and holy vow as commanded by God (or a deity) in which a man and a lady come with each other to make a unified partnership according to their Gods laws and commandments. Countries like Sweden, Argentina and Portugal, where similar-sex marriage is legal, do not see civil partnerships as marriage.
In Vermont, New Hampshire, and Connecticut where civil unions had been available prior to marriage, couples who had currently joined in a civil union had been in a position to marry after identical-sex couples had been able to marry. Marriage is just about as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve. There are 1,138 federal rights and protections and 648 Illinois rights and protections for married couples and their households.

Bottom: Bellbird's wine dogs assist in the routine vineyard work and help keep birds at bay when the grapes begin to ripen.
Bellbird Vineyards are located 14 km south-east of Kingaroy in the beautiful Coolabunia uplands that encircle the southern part of the town (Coolabunia's rich red soils and cool climate provide a perfect environment for grape growing). The vineyards were established by Kevin and Nina Temperton in 2000.
Bellbird Vineyards is a boutique wine producer and their 20 acre vineyard is planted with shiraz, cabernet-sauvignon, verdelho and merlot vines.
Bellbird's wines are crafted by several South Burnett winemakers and are available for sale at the Taste South Burnett cellar door at Shop 4, 36 Alford Street in Kingaroy; at the annual Wine & Food In The Park Festival held in Kingaroy on the second Saturday of March each year; or by mail order direct from their Bellbird Vineyards website.
Bellbird currently produce a delightful rose, a cabernet-sauvignon and a verdelho under the own brand; and a Coolabunia Verdelho in conjunction with Nanango's Arabesque Winery.
Because Bellbird Vineyards doesn't have an on-site cellar door the property can't accept bus tours. But they're happy to conduct off-site tastings at art gallery openings, markets, festivals and similar events if they're given sufficient time to arrange the necessary licensing.
Bellbird Vineyards also host a popular annual Pickers Luncheon during the harvest season in late January and February where volunteers who help bring in the harvest are treated to a great lunch; terrific wines; and a lot of fun. If you're interested in taking part in one of these lunches, simply email Bellbird Vineyards about it.


That's right, Kate went to the Doc on Friday and they said they would induce her labor Monday morning at 5 AM. Wow that is an early wake up call. That will mean that her and Braily will be exactly 14 months apart, and both have the 13th as their birthday. Easy for a Dad to remember! So that is where we will be on Monday and hopefully have a quick and safe labor. The Browns play Monday night so I told Katie to wrap it up before then so we can watch. Ha ha. Please pray that Katie and the new one have a safe and easy labor and that everything goes just as planned. I will keep you all posted of our new little girl as soon as she arrives.
Last Saturday we went on a search for pumpkins with Braily. It was the perfect fall day, warm sun with a cool temp, perfect football weather. The leaves are just starting to turn color and we drove down to Szalay's Farm to search for pumpkins, walk the trails, and drink some hot cider. Braily was so excited she was walking around everywhere and looking at all the different pumpkins. She found the perfect one just her size, and got to rock in a big old rocking chair here are some shots from the day.
Look who just got a Browns' Braylon Edwards jersey just like her dad. Here she is rolling around and playin' a little FOOTBALL!
She's up and ready for the tackle after eating a little grass snack!
She's goin' long, and might not be coming back!
I hope she knows how to get back home?
