Aussie Chefs at the "Repas Exotique"!
So France update time! I am back at school which is (sometimes) enjoyable, I really have learned to appreciate the cruisy 8:30-3:15 timetable of Australian high schools after spending almost every day leaving the house at 7am and getting back at 6pm.
I had a bit of a funny moment on Wednesday, I had swimming for sport (even when it's 0 degrees outside) and it had been 10 months since I have played water polo, I had never been a very fast swimmer even when I was fit, and yet somehow I am now one of the fastest swimmers in my class and they were all super impressed (this goes to say that frenchy's definitely aren't the best at sport).
I have finally finished my French exam and my goodness what a relief it was to get it over with! I don't have the results yet but fingers crossed I passed. It was a nice day because all the exchange students who did the DELF (the exam) went to the big city Lille after the exam to go get lunch and spend the afternoon together, which was lovely as things are quickly coming to an end and goodbyes are on the horizon. It also happened to start snowing as we came out of the building.
We also had our exotic meal night with rotary where we all cook something from our country and represent where we came from. The 6 other Aussies and I sure did our country proud, I was dressed as an Eagles player, we had an Australian zoo worker, a farmer, a kangaroo, and a bondi beach lifeguard. We did a bit of a mash up of classic Aussie songs and I got lots of compliments on my lemon slice and was asked for the recipe numerous times. It was a really fun night with over 300 guests and we made over 6000 euros for the district, I really think it's an idea 9455 should think about if possible!
I also saw my first Christmas markets with 2 exchange friends in Lille last Friday and it's safe to say I am definitely going to be a winter christmas addict after this year.
Next week I am off to Norway while the year 12's are doing some exams to go visit Margrete which will be amazing! I will send an update and some photos once I get back.
I hope everyone is well and my parents presentation isn't too boring for you all.


By lavender at Aug. 2. 2014.
We will be looking at some plants from our gardens over the next couple of months. Plants that are growing well are unusual or are just of interest. If you have anything relevant please let us know. We'd love to have something from each member's garden.
The first is the foxtail lily (Eremurus spp. ). This one is from Sharon's garden. She also provided the picture. There are 9 different species of Eremurus and with hybrids about 35 to 40 different varieties. Flower colors range from white, through pinks, reds, yellows and oranges with varying shades in between. Heights range from 2 ft. to 10 ft. Sharon has a pink flowering variety and, while there is some confusion as to the parentage of various hybrids, most of the pink ones seem to be either Eremurus robustus or hybrids or some sort. Robustus grows 6-10 feet tall with leaves up to 48 inches. The flowers are pale to deep pink, in an inflorescence that can contain 700-800 flowers. The flowers have a dark blotch at the base and two green petals at the bottom of the flower. 'Sheffield Pink' is a smaller hybrid at 4-6 feet that is designated E. x isabellinus. The term includes a number of plants, which according to the Missouri Botanical Gardens, are hybrids of E. olgae and E. stenophyllus. They include the Ruiter and Shelford hybrids that are most popular of the foxtail lilies. There may be a couple of other pink hybrids but these seem to be the plants that are most readily available commercially.
Eremurus is a member of the lily family but it grows from a starfish shaped tuber rather than a true bulb. While their common name foxtail lily is based on the shape of the flower, their alternate name desert candle gives a clue to cultural requirements. These plants come from sunny, dry regions of Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan. They grow best in full sun but will grow in some shade. Plants with less than full sun will frequently need staking as the tall flower stems will not be as sturdy. Foxtail lilies need excellent drainage or the tubers will rot. They are not fussy about soil types but it is suggested that the planting holes be amended with compost or gravel to improve drainage in heavy soils. Gravel also makes good mulch, as it keeps puddles from forming. Suggested technique for heavy soils is to dig a hole 5 inches deep and a foot or so across. Build a mound of compost and sand and place the tuber on top with the "arms" pointing downward. Back fill with a combination of compost, sand and soil.
Growing plants and freshly planted tubers need about an inch of water per week. One good watering is probably better than numerous light sprinkles. The tubers are planted in the fall and most of the root growth occurs then. The foxtail lily is hardy to zone 5, with some species being hardy to zone 3, but they will benefit from winter mulch. Use mulch that will drain well. Anything that retains water may cause rotting.
In the spring the rosettes of leaves emerge. They are prone to damage by late frosts so should be protected for maximum sized plants. The frosted plants will still produce flowers but plant and flower size may suffer. The flower stems appear, one from each rosette, in late May or early June. The flowers are fairly long lasting, especially if the plants are in a protected location where they are not subject to winds. The plants will reseed if in a site that suits them, although there is not telling what you will get from the seedlings if the parent plant is a hybrid. Dividing the plant is possible but the roots do not like to be disturbed. It is best to choose a location where they can remain without overcrowding.
Sharon did tell us that it took years for her fox tail lily to bloom. The plant themselves do take a long time to establish and won't bloom until they have made themselves at home. They also need a good chilling before they will bloom. Perhaps those -20 degree temperatures that we had this winter actually did something good.


Some time ago, I tried my hand at making home made granola. I'm not the kind of person to eat granola for breakfast; rather, I love spooning it over thick Greek yogurt drizzled with honey and topped with fat slices of banana. My body has had a love hate relationship with nuts the last 10 years, ever since I discovered that I could have Oral Allergy syndrome. At one time, particular fresh fruits and nuts would make my mouth itch and burn but these days, as my reactions to apples have waned, so have my reactions to nuts.
There really is much rejoicing, because I love almonds, and now it seems I can eat them.
I was inspired to try this granola when I was searching the internet for recipes using maple, since a lovely twitter follower of mine so kindly sent me a jug of the darkest of dark maple syrup from a sugar shack just down the road from her house. I was (am!) thrilled to pieces to have syrup this decadent and rich to use in baking. This recipe seemed to call a little from the recesses of the internet, daring me to try it. Peanut butter and dried fruit add a sweet/salty element that I couldn't ignore, so last weekend I whipped up a batch.
My entire family loves it. From Kevin, who eats it by the handful to John, who prefers his in a bowl with milk, we've been nibbling on it all week. I daresay that you need to make this, and that it would make a great gift if you were inclined to give some away. Personally, I think I would have a mutiny on my hands should any leave my house. Feel free to mix it up when it comes to the nuts and/or fruit, using whatever kinds appeal to you. I love cashews and pecans in my granola, and I think a mixture of them in this would be delicious. I also used a combination of dried berries, but you could use dried apple and/or apricots if that suited you. Have fun!
Stir the peanut butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup together in a medium sauce pan over medium low heat until melted and smooth.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, coconut, nuts, and salt. Drizzle over the peanut butter/maple mixture, stirring as you go, until all the oats and nuts are all well coated. Spread out onto a large rimmed baking sheet, and bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden. If you like your granola clumpy, only stir it once, but if you don't mind that there aren't many clumps, stir it a few times as it bakes.
Let the mixture cool before adding the dried fruit.
Store in an airtight container, or in large Mason jars, as I do. Makes about six cups.

Chipeta: Queen of the Utes
Our Resort is named in honor of Chipeta, the wife of the great Ute Indian leader, Chief Ouray. The Utes once inhabited this valley of healing Hot springs. Orvis Hot Springs & Ouray Hot Springs are available in addition to our pools for your soaking pleasure.
Chipeta originally became famous as Ute Chief Ouray's wife and she was trusted confidant and a beautiful, faithful companion. Later she was to blossom in her own right. Although the title was first used as a derogatory remark, Chipeta eventually became "queen" of both the whites and the Utes (even though she was born a Kiowa Apache). She was even talked about by the press and elite of Washington, D.C. and met with President Taft. Chipeta was often a silent presence when Ouray met with the other Ute chiefs, and after his death many Utes still sought her opinion, welcomed her presence at important meetings, and even recommended her to represent them as a delegate to lobby the United States Congress.
Chipeta outlived Ouray by almost half a century. During part of this time she was ignored, forgotten, and even cheated by the whites, although immediately after Ouray's death many suitors had courted her and men wrote poetry about her. Then in her old age whites honored her again on many special occasions. Although she could not have children of her own, she "adopted" many orphaned Utes. Chipeta played the guitar well, sang beautifully in three languages, and was well known for her exquisite beadwork. Perhaps her greatest legacy was that through all that happened to her, she did not become embittered and remained a humble, caring, loving person. Chipeta was a special individual that we would all do well to emulate.

The Town That Refused to Die
I trust that many of you know about Doris Gregory's wonderful history of Ridgway, "The Town That Refused to Die". I love to flip through my dog-eared copy. It's fascinating to see the old photographs of the early years of downtown Ridgway, when it was graced by long-gone landmarks like the Mentone Hotel and the Mears & Criswell buildings, which once stood on the now-vacant corner lots next to the firehouse and across from the post office. I'm not sure how many of you know that Clinton was the original 'Main St.' of Ridgway, before Hwy 62 was rerouted onto Sherman in the late 1940's. When that happened, most downtown businesses moved to the new highway, and many of the Clinton St. buildings fell into disrepair, eventually either burning down or crumbling to the point they had to be demolished. In a lot of ways, Clinton St. is still struggling to recover; but I believe that this project will be the culmination of the rebirth of downtown Ridgway. A rebirth that will bring us into the 21st century, while still recognizing and celebrating our past. Because after all, that's really what makes Ridgway special, in my opinion: that unique blend of old & new, classic & modern, cowboy & telecommuter. We have a special community here in Ridgway, mostly because it is a true community, something you don't come across very often these days. – Mayor John Clark

I've been trying to run for fun, instead of trying to be in intense training mode all the time, in hopes that it will snap me out of this funk I've been in - fewer miles, less pressure, less anxiety. I've been putting so much pressure on myself and setting my expectations so high, that when I inevitably fail to meet them, I am wracked with self-loathing. And I need to stop doing that.
So I opted out of the timing chip and even elected not to bring my Garmin, because who cares about time, right? I went with my friend Michelle, who is newer to running, and I figured it would be a fun time spent with a friend, at the end of which there would be Mogo's and Scoops (food trucks) and cute little Asian snacks from 99 Ranch.
Well, when we got there, they told us that everyone had been upgraded to a timing chip FOR FREE. Uh... yay? Now that there would be a time attached to my name, I knew I HAD to make an effort. But I wasn't going to leave Michelle behind either, so I would pace with her.
I don't know if this is their first year, but it was a bit of a mess. The packet pickup area was fine enough, but they did a warmup dance thing (why is it always a dance thing???) that finished with one minute to go before it was supposed to start at 7:30. And then everyone kind of headed over to the start line, with no instruction whatsoever about lining up according to pace, and we couldn't even see the start line because it was set up just outside the field at Spartan Stadium, and there is a little hill coming out of the stadium, so those of us who were farther back couldn't see over the top of the little hill. And then the people on the PA system started counting down the seconds (5 minutes late, might I add) and then... nothing. No one moved. We were still standing there, waiting for something, and I was like, "Come on, there MUST be other runners who know what they're supposed to be doing!" It turned out that no one at the very front of the crowd could hear anything that was going on at the very back of the crowd. And then finally someone sounded a horn at the front and we were off.
I know this isn't the sort of race you run seriously, but having to pick my way through all the people walking, who would not move out of the way, was still really frustrating. But the course widened as soon as we got to the street, so it wasn't that bad.
I loved seeing all the excited kids with their families, all the "non-traditional" runners, and all the fun costumes. When you do longer, "more serious" races all the time, the field of runners starts to become more homogenous. There were more "typical" runners at CIM, for example, than at this race. And you know what? It's all good. That's why all these races exist - to give everyone a chance to run and accomplish something awesome, no matter what your level of experience or athleticism.
So yeah, I'm glad I did it. (And not just because I had the most amazing short-ribs burrito and macapuno ice cream afterward.) It reminded me about the fun, silly side of running, and it gave me a chance to surround myself with people who are laughing and happy and just out there to have a good time without taking themselves too seriously. I need a little more of that in my running life.
We beat our goal, by the way. 38:50. That's the best pace I've run in a while.
It looks like a key, huh? But it's a lantern. Also, it glows in the dark.
Eff yeah Asian snacks! I love that pineapple cake!
That balloon has a little tiny flashing light inside. I don't want to blow it up yet.
Here's Spartan Stadium at night. I'd never been here before.
Next up? I don't even know. I've decided not to run Vancouver at all, so maybe I'll squeeze in another race somewhere. The next one that I have planned for sure is the Dirty Dozen 6-hour run in July.
I PRed my back squat!!


Taking to their website, Ubisoft released a helpful image that breaks down what PC players will need in order to run the Assassin's Creed III remaster. The minimum for those aiming for 30 FPS at 1080p will need at least an AMD FX-6350 or Intel Core i5-2400 as well as 8 GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon R9 270X or Nvidia GeForce GTX 660.
Of course, every player's hardware will be a bit different, especially when it comes to other variables such as RAM type and speed. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like the remastered Assassin's Creed III will require the latest and greatest specs to get it running on PC.
We'll just have to wait and see how well it actually performs when the remastered Assassin's Creed III launches on March 29th for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Nintendo Switch players will have to wait until May 21st to play it on the portable console.
What do you think about all of this? Excited for the Assassin's Creed III remaster? Will your PC be able to handle the upcoming game, or will you have to enjoy the journey on console?

EC threatens 'fake news' rules
The EC may threaten social media companies with regulation unless they move to tackle fake news and the use of personal data before the European elections in 2019.
The EU security commissioner, Julian King, said "short-term, concrete" plans needed to be in place before the elections, when voters in 27 EU member states will elect MEPs. The Cambridge Analytica affair had "served to highlight how important this is", he told The Guardian.
King's proposals centre on social media companies signing a voluntary code of conduct to prevent the "misuse of platforms to pump out misleading information". The code would include a pledge for greater transparency, so users would be made aware why they were be presented with certain adverts or stories. Another proposal is for political adverts to be accompanied with information about who paid for them.
All regulators have been rethinking their hands-off approach to social media, after it emerged that Cambridge Analytica had mined data from 50 million Facebook users to secretly target them with ads during the US elections.

Flyers Training Camp: A Study in Media Perception
Looking at the coverage of the Flyers Rookie Training Camp makes you wonder who sets expectations.
By Geoffrey Detweiler Sep 15, 2010, 11:01am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Flyers Training Camp: A Study in Media Perception
CHICAGO - MAY 27: Mike Richards of the Philadelphia Flyers answers reporters questions during Stanley Cup media day at the United Center on May 27, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
In case you didn't know, the Flyers started their training camp on Monday. Well, not quite - only the rookies will be practicing this week. The full team begins camp on Friday. Still, this means hockey is back, which means the media is back to writing daily stories. Unfortunately, this is not always a good thing.
Let's just get this out of the way first: I greatly respect the mainstream media. Without beat reporters like Tim Panaccio, Anthony SanFilippo, Frank Seravalli and all the rest of them covering the team, we wouldn't have as much information about the Flyers as we do. This is especially true for those who are unable to attend camp and get quotes from the rookies. In addition, they have a difficult job to do, finding a story to write everyday, then going out and getting tight-lipped insiders to give quotes about it. I don't envy their position.
With that said, two stories have emerged from this camp that really frustrate me. The first is a storyline that has been running since March. Ever since the Flyers signed Mike Testwuide out of Colorado College in March, everyone from Paul Holmgren, to the Inquirer, to CSNPhilly have written about how he might make the team out of camp. After I tried dispelling that notion earlier, my editor at Broad Street Hockey - Travis Hughes - picked up on the theme this week.
The main crux of the argument boils down to this: The Flyers now have 13 forwards signed to an NHL contract, plus Bill Guerin on a tryout. There's simply no open roster spot up for grabs on the team, but on top of that, Testwuide is an undrafted, 23-year old player who scored 31 points in the NCAA last year. In his college career, he's never scored more than 31 points in any two year period combined. But for some reason, this is a guy that everyone is talking about, hyping him up for failure.
Which is sad, really. Whoever is to blame - the Flyers, the media, or the fans - doesn't matter, but what matters is that Testwuide is being pushed into the fans psyche with unreasonable expectations. In the CSNPhilly article, both Tim Panaccio and Testwuide himself make the comparison between his game and James van Riemsdyk's. But van Riemsdyk scored as many points in his sophomore year in college (at age 19) as Testwuide scored in his junior and senior seasons combined, at ages 22 and 23.
None of this is to say that Testwuide isn't good. The point is that nobody knows how good he is, since he only had one standout year in college. But the storyline over the summer has been "Mike Testwuide Pushing for Roster Spot Out of Camp". Great story line, but it just isn't going to happen.
Alternatively, Frank Seravalli came out with an article today entitled "(Luke) Pither must prove he deserves spot in Flyers' organization". It's really not a bad article, but the general theme of the story is incredibly frustrating in terms of how his sister paper (the Inquirer) is handling the Testwuide scenario. Now, let's be clear: this is not a criticism of Seravalli. He isn't hyping up Testwuide, and he is the only one writing about Luke Pither, which he deserves credit for.
The point is that Luke Pither is a guy who will most likely slot into the Phantoms top-line pivot either immediately or shortly into the season. The Flyers have a ton of centers in the NHL (Richards, Briere, Carter, Giroux, Betts, and Powe) but the Phantoms lost their top two centers (Jonathan Matsumoto and Jared Ross) this year, leaving only Jon Kalinski and free agent acquisition Greg Moore up the middle for Adirondack. Pither plays a position of need for the Phantoms, but that's not the only reason he doesn't have to prove he deserves a spot in the organization.
As Seravalli mentions in his third sentence, Pither signed a 3-year contract in March. He is in the organization and he will have a spot in their professional ranks. But outside of that, Pither has averaged 1.51 points per game over the past two years. Alternatively, Testwuide has averaged 0.55 points per game over that same time span. Using Gabe Desjardins' AHL Equivalencies, Pither can be expected to score 52 points in an 82-game AHL season at age 21. Testwuide, two years his senior, is only expected to score 39 points in an 82-game AHL season.
Despite this, Seravalli writes about the pressure placed on Pither to impress at training camp in order to earn a spot in the organization. Maybe it was the quotes Pither gave him that shaped the story, which is fine. But the differential treatment being afforded Luke Pither and Mike Testwuide is astounding. If anybody should be feeling pressure, it is Testwuide. And that is largely because of the stories surrounding Testwuide.
Both the team and the media are placing higher expectations on Testwuide than he deserves, setting a bar so high that he will inevitably fail to clear it - at least this year. Meanwhile, Frank Seravalli seeks out the best Flyer in rookie camp - commendable, certainly - and writes a story with such low expectations for Pither that he should easily exceed them (barring injury, of course). Why does this happen? Who decides what player will get the pre-season hype, and what criteria do they use?
Honestly, I feel bad for Mike Testwuide. He has a breakout year during his final season of college which earns him a professional contract. He turns down a contract from his hometown Avalanche - where he would have had a much greater opportunity to make the NHL this year - to play in the Flyers organization. He has an uphill battle to become a successful NHL player at all, then he chooses a more difficult path to the NHL, and yet he still arrives to immediate expectations of him making the club out of camp. To do that, he would have to beat out an established NHL veteran, likely both Bill Guerin and Dan Carcillo. Oh, then he has to deal with being compared to a former 2nd overall pick.
I wish Testwuide success. But I also wish he could have flown under the radar, grown into his body, go about his work, and progress as a professional. Unfortunately, he is now expected to be a lot better than conventional wisdom suggests. Instead of muting expectations - two years ago, Testwuide only scored 9 points in 36 games - he now has to not only match the best year of his career, but he has to jump straight to the NHL (something both Andreas Nodl and James van Riemsdyk struggled to do) and improve upon his career year.
Again using Desjardins' NHL Equivalencies, Testwuide would only be expected to score 29 points in the NHL next year. Those equivalencies are based primarily on 21 and 22 year olds making the jump, since most players going straight from the NCAA to the NHL are drafted at that age and are the best players in college. That isn't Testwuide. While van Riemsdyk nailed his projection on the nose (he was expected to score 37 points and he did when taking into account the games he missed), he not only was a high draft pick, had two very successful years in college, and jumped at age 20 (his age 21 season), he didn't do it smoothly. Stories were written all year (in December, in April, and June) about his struggles and eventual benching in the Cup Finals.
The point there is that if Testwuide actually made the team, he'd realistically score fewer than 29 points (accounting for age). At best, Testwuide could replace Arron Asham's production (24 points in 72 games). But with Dan Carcillo (22 points in 76 games) and Bill Guerin (45 points in 78 games) ahead of him on the depth chart, why are we even talking about Mike Testwuide making the Flyers?
Wouldn't the mainstream media rather write about Zac Rinaldo?

What is a Tin Toy Treasure?
Every tin treasure starts out as a flat sheet of metal that is then cut into separate pieces. Each piece is then formed into its final shape by passing through numerous tooling stations. The pieces are then hand-assembled to create the final toy.
Tin toy production – a labour intensive process, was quickly abandoned when plastic moulding was developed. Most traditional toy makers in India, like elsewhere in the world, moved away from tin toy production. Today, people from all over the world seek tin toys, either as serious collectors or merely to cherish the rich memories of their childhood.
Anyone intending to start a collection should not delay!

Il caso O. J. Simpson è stato un famoso processo penale relativo all'accusa nei confronti di O. J. Simpson, celebre ex giocatore di football americano e attore, dell'omicidio dell'ex moglie Nicole Brown Simpson e del cameriere Ronald Lyle Goldman, avvenuto il 12 giugno 1994.
Ufficialmente noto come People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson, il processo venne condotto presso la Corte Superiore della Contea di Los Angeles.

Al termine della vicenda giudiziaria, descritta come il processo più pubblicizzato nella storia statunitense, il verdetto emesso il 3 ottobre 1995 assolse Simpson dall'accusa. Viene poi giudicato colpevole nella causa civile intentata dalle famiglie delle vittime due anni dopo.

Storia
Nicole Brown e O.J. Simpson si erano sposati il 2 febbraio 1985, cinque anni dopo il ritiro di Simpson dal football americano professionistico. La coppia aveva avuto due figli, Brooke Sydney Simpson (nata il 17 ottobre 1985) e Justin Ryan Simpson (nato il 6 agosto 1988). Il matrimonio era durato sette anni durante i quali, precisamente nel 1989, Simpson era stato accusato di violenze coniugali. La Brown aveva chiesto quindi il divorzio il 25 febbraio 1992, motivandolo con «differenze inconciliabili».

Alle 00:10 del 13 giugno 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson e il venticinquenne Ronald Lyle Goldman furono trovati uccisi di fronte al condominio dove la Brown risiedeva, all'875 di South Bundy Drive, nella zona di Brentwood. Secondo le prime ricostruzioni, Nicole, che era andata a cena con la madre al vicino ristorante Mezzaluna, aveva telefonato al locale per segnalare che la madre aveva dimenticato sul tavolo i suoi occhiali da sole: Ron Goldman, che lavorava nel ristorante come cameriere, si era quindi offerto di riportarglieli.

I cadaveri erano a terra in un lago di sangue: la donna aveva ricevuto 12 coltellate e aveva la testa quasi mozzata, oltre a ferite da difesa sulle mani. La ferita attraverso il collo l'aveva lasciata con la bocca aperta, attraverso la quale si poteva vedere la laringe, anche la vertebra C3 era stata incisa. Sul corpo del giovane vennero rinvenuti i segni di 20 coltellate. Entrambe le vittime erano morte diverse ore prima di essere ritrovate. I due figli di Nicole e O. J. dormivano in casa al momento del crimine e nessun testimone assistette all'omicidio. Le prove trovate e raccolte sulla scena del crimine portarono la polizia a sospettare di Simpson, su cui gravavano precedenti denunce da parte della moglie per maltrattamenti domestici. Henry Chang-Yu Lee fu uno degli investigatori del caso.

Il Los Angeles Police Department cercò subito di contattare Simpson e scoprì che questi aveva preso un aereo diretto da Los Angeles a Chicago alle 23:45. Alla notizia della morte dell'ex moglie, Simpson tornò a Los Angeles nel pomeriggio del 13 giugno, fu ammanettato e portato alla centrale di polizia per essere interrogato, ma fu rilasciato poche ore dopo. Il 14 giugno Simpson assunse come avvocato Robert Shapiro.

In seguito al ritrovamento in giardino di macchie di sangue compatibili con quello di Simpson, i sospetti della polizia continuarono ad aumentare e nella notte tra il 16 e il 17 giugno fu formulata esplicitamente l'accusa di duplice omicidio di primo grado.

Intorno alle 8.30 del 17 giugno, la polizia telefonò a Shapiro, informandolo delle accuse a carico di Simpson e chiedendo che l'accusato si consegnasse spontaneamente entro le 11, termine dopo il quale sarebbe stato considerato un fuggitivo. Shapiro si recò a casa dell'amico Robert Kardashian nella San Fernando Valley, nella California meridionale, dove O. J. Simpson aveva passato la notte, e ricevette una seconda telefonata in cui gli veniva esplicitamente richiesto il luogo in cui il suo assistito si trovava. Shapiro fornì l'informazione alla polizia e giustificò il ritardo con alcune visite mediche a cui Simpson si stava sottoponendo, poiché gli era stata diagnosticata una forte depressione.

Quando la polizia giunse sul posto alle 11, trovò Shapiro, Kardashian e alcuni medici, ma non Simpson, che nel frattempo era scappato dalla porta sul retro insieme all'amico ed ex compagno di squadra Al Cowlings. Shapiro e Kardashian tennero una conferenza stampa annunciando la fuga e ipotizzando che Simpson potesse spingersi fino a tentare il suicidio. Intorno alle 14 il comandante David Gascon della polizia di Los Angeles annunciò pubblicamente che Simpson era ricercato per duplice omicidio.

Nel frattempo la polizia si mise sulle tracce dei due fuggitivi e intercettò la Ford Bronco bianca di Cowlings sull'Autostrada 405, diretta verso la Contea di Orange, dando così inizio a un lento inseguimento sulle autostrade di Los Angeles (poi definito dai media "The Bronco Chase"), ripreso in diretta TV e seguito da circa 75 milioni di telespettatori (la NBC interruppe addirittura la diretta della partita tra Houston Rockets e New York Knicks, di gara 5 delle NBA Finals 1994 e dell'inaugurazione del Campionato mondiale di calcio 1994, per trasmettere l'inseguimento), durante il quale O. J., che aveva con sé una pistola, minacciò più volte di suicidarsi e che terminò quando lo stesso Simpson decise di tornare a casa sua, dove arrivò alle 19.45. Cowlings scese dall'auto, mentre Simpson rimase ancora in macchina per circa un'ora, minacciando di uccidersi, finché non si arrese e fu arrestato.

Processo
Il processo cominciò con il giuramento dei membri della corte il 9 novembre del 1994 e con la prima udienza il 24 gennaio 1995. La giuria di dodici persone, dopo alcuni cambiamenti rispetto alla prima formazione, fu costituita da sette afroamericani, quattro caucasici e un ispanico.

L'accusa fu rappresentata da Marcia Clark e dal giovane Christopher Darden. Simpson affidò invece la sua difesa a una squadra di legali di altissimo prestigio (per questo ribattezzata dream team), guidata da Johnnie Cochran e che includeva anche Robert Shapiro, F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Kardashian (già amico personale di Simpson), Gerald Uelmen, John Yahoe, e Carl E. Douglas, più due avvocati specializzati in prova del DNA: Barry Scheck e Peter Neufeld. Il giudice era Lance A. Ito.

La strategia dell'accusa puntava prevalentemente a dimostrare il carattere violento di Simpson, facendolo apparire come un cattivo padre e marito, viste le passate denunce della moglie Nicole per maltrattamenti e mai rassegnatosi alla separazione. Il movente, secondo l'accusa, sarebbe stato quindi la gelosia.

La difesa puntava invece a sfatare la credibilità delle prove raccolte a carico dell'imputato, ma soprattutto introdusse un elemento che via via sarebbe diventato il filo conduttore dell'intera linea difensiva: la discriminazione razziale. Simpson era ricco e famoso, ma, soprattutto, nero, e per questo i poliziotti coinvolti, prevalentemente bianchi, secondo la difesa l'avrebbero voluto incastrare. Bianco era, in particolare, l'investigatore che trovò i guanti insanguinati, Mark Fuhrman, il quale si era reso colpevole in passato di insulti e discriminazioni razziali. La difesa trovò dei nastri registrati nei quali Fuhrman si scagliava verbalmente contro i neri con epiteti piuttosto pesanti e dichiarava che quando c'è la certezza della colpevolezza «...in qualche modo le prove saltano fuori». Dopo la diffusione dei nastri, il detective Fuhrman fu richiamato sul banco dei testimoni dalla difesa ma si avvalse della facoltà di non rispondere per tutte le domande che gli furono poste, tra cui quella se avesse piazzato o manomesso prove sulla scena del crimine. Così una delle prove cardine dell'accusa, i guanti insanguinati, perse molta credibilità dopo che gli avvocati di Simpson insinuarono il sospetto che Fuhrman li avesse messi deliberatamente sulla scena del crimine.

Un altro colpo alla tesi dell'accusa arrivò quando l'inesperto procuratore Darden decise di far provare a Simpson i suddetti guanti, contro il parere dei suoi superiori e della collega Clark, che ritenevano che si potessero essere ristretti a causa del sangue e dell'umidità. I guanti si rivelarono troppo stretti per le mani di Simpson. Divenne celebre, al riguardo, la frase dell'avvocato Cochran «if it doesn't fit, you must acquit» (se non calzano, dovete assolverlo). Tra l'altro, nel 2014, Alan Dershowitz rivelò che, in base alla legge della California, l'accusa avrebbe potuto chiedere al giudice di far indossare i guanti a Simpson "a porte chiuse", senza cioè la presenza della giuria, decidendo poi, in base all'esito della prova, se farglieli provare anche durante il processo.

Quanto al sangue rinvenuto nell'auto e sotto le unghie delle vittime, la difesa riuscì a dimostrare che il test del DNA non era stato effettuato attenendosi scrupolosamente alla procedura raccomandata dai manuali, sicché c'era la "remota possibilità" che esso fosse stato alterato e/o manipolato. Il 26 e 27 settembre l'accusa pronunciò l'arringa conclusiva, mentre il 27 e 28 fu la volta della difesa.

Verdetto
La celebrità di Simpson e il lungo processo televisivo attirarono l'attenzione nazionale sul cosiddetto "processo del secolo". Entro la fine del processo penale, dei  hanno mostrato forti differenze nella valutazione della colpevolezza o dell'innocenza di Simpson tra statunitensi bianchi e neri.

Il 3 ottobre 1995, dopo 253 giorni di processo, la giuria emise il verdetto in meno di quattro ore, sentenziando l'innocenza di O.J. Simpson.

Gli analisti e l'opinione pubblica rimasero sconcertati dalla velocità con cui i giurati raggiunsero l'unanimità, anche perché era ritenuta possibile una durata di diversi giorni della camera di consiglio. La difesa era riuscita, quindi, a offrire alla giuria la possibilità di dichiarare che "tecnicamente" non esistevano elementi per condannare Simpson «...oltre ogni ragionevole dubbio».

Lo stesso Alan Dershowitz ha dichiarato in proposito «...non siamo stati noi a vincere. Sono loro [l'accusa] che hanno perso, commettendo i peggiori errori possibili».

Presunta confessione di Glen Rogers
Il serial killer Glen Edward Rogers, detenuto nel braccio della morte, nel 2012 avrebbe confessato al fratello Clay e a un criminologo di essere il vero autore del duplice omicidio, affermando quindi l'innocenza di O.J. Simpson, come stabilito all'epoca dal processo. La rivelazione fa parte di un documentario su Rogers, My Brother the Serial Killer, in cui l'uomo confessa molti altri delitti, oltre a quelli per cui è stato condannato. Rogers però ha detto di aver agito per rubare dei gioielli su incarico di Simpson stesso, che gli diede l'incarico da portare a termine ad ogni costo (anche secondo le sue parole "uccidendo quella stronza"), senza però ordinare esplicitamente e premeditatamente l'omicidio. Le dichiarazioni di Rogers non hanno avuto seguito legale.

Processo civile
In seguito, entrambe le famiglie Brown e Goldman hanno citato in giudizio Simpson per danni in un processo civile per wrongful death. Il 18 settembre 1996 iniziarono così le udienze, con una giuria prevalentemente caucasica, che occupava 8 seggi su 12. Il 26 novembre, dopo tre giorni di deposizione, l'alibi dell'imputato vacillava. Un mese dopo la giuria si riunì in camera di consiglio. Il 31 gennaio viene rimossa l'unica giurata afroamericana tra i dodici, sostituita da un asiatico.

Il 4 febbraio 1997 la giuria emise all'unanimità il verdetto ribaltando quello penale e giudicando Simpson responsabile dei due omicidi e assegnando alle loro famiglie un risarcimento di 8,5 milioni di dollari (per un totale di 17 milioni di dollari). La giuria impose a Simpson anche il pagamento di altri 25 milioni di dollari quale risarcimento danni punitivi (punitive damages) alle due famiglie delle vittime, per un totale di 67 milioni di dollari.

In forza di questa condanna, nell'agosto del 2007 i diritti del suo libro If I Did It - l'ipotetico racconto in prima persona di come avrebbe commesso il duplice omicidio - furono assegnati alla famiglia Goldman, insieme a tutti i diritti pubblicitari e di sfruttamento della sua immagine legati al libro. Nel settembre 2007 i Goldman cambiarono il titolo al libro in If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer e lo ripubblicarono, facendone un bestseller nel giro di qualche giorno.

Il 21 febbraio 2008 un tribunale di Los Angeles confermò il rinnovo della sentenza civile contro di lui.

Sviluppi successivi
Nel 2016 un ex poliziotto di Los Angeles, al momento in pensione, consegnò alla polizia un coltello da caccia a serramanico, che era stato ritrovato nel 1998 da un operaio durante la demolizione della vecchia casa di O. J. Simpson, sepolto nel giardino dell'edificio, e che sarebbe potuta essere l'arma del delitto, mai ritrovata. I test eseguiti sull'arma escluserò però collegamenti tra il coltello e il delitto.

Recipe Unlimited plans to eliminate plastic straws from its entire restaurant network
VAUGHAN, ON, June 27, 2018 /CNW/ - As part of an extensive journey to reduce waste in all of its restaurants, Recipe Unlimited (formerly Cara Operations) plans to eliminate plastic straws across its entire 19-brand network of restaurants. This includes brands such as Prime Pubs, Landing, Swiss Chalet, Harvey's, East Side Mario's and many more.
"Our goal is to enrich life in Canada...and that extends beyond our restaurants and guests, to our oceans, wildlife and environment," says Frank Hennessey, CEO, Recipe Unlimited Corporation.

Beginning in August, plastic straws will be phased out with the goal of offering only paper straws by end of March 2019. That means only paper straws, which are completely compostable and biodegradable, will be provided with soft drinks in Recipe's Quick Serve restaurants like Swiss Chalet, Harvey's, New York Fries and St-Hubert. And in its Full Service restaurants, only paper straws will be provided and only upon request.
Founded in 1883, RECIPE Unlimited Corporation (formerly Cara Operations) is Canada's oldest and largest full-service restaurant company. The Company franchises and/or operates some of the most recognized brands in the country including Swiss Chalet, Harvey's, St-Hubert, The Keg, Milestones, Montana's, Kelsey's, East Side Mario's, New York Fries, Prime Pubs, Bier Markt, Landing, Original Joe's, State & Main, Elephant & Castle, The Burger's Priest, The Pickle Barrel and 1909 Taverne Moderne.

Before I begin to share my stay-at-home entrepreneurial journey, some of you may be wondering, "Is this author a millionaire? Is she equipped to give advice? How come I haven't seen her on television? Has she gone viral?" To answer all your questions, the answer is…I am just Tess, a stay-at-home entrepreneur mom who was crazy enough to dream and have insurmountable visions.
I have chosen to write this book because I am an expert in my experiences, and I want to share with you what worked and what is working for me. However, I am still on my journey. Please note: I stayed at home with my children and niece for nine years, and now my children and niece are in school and much older, ages 25, 19, and 12.
Walking away from my job in 2006 was tinged with the feelings of fear and excitement all at the same time. I had been working for three years as a middle school language arts teacher when I became pregnant and decided to leave and take care of my newborn, son, and niece. After speaking it over with my husband and finally making the decision, it was hard to find a narrative to tell myself.
The stress of juggling the complications of work and family life are a source of stress for many women. Whether you work outside the home or are a stay-at-home mom, there are troubling emotions to deal with. Either choice will leave you with something to worry about.
You will most likely get on blogs or social media sites that make being a stay-at-home mom seem like one easy ride of Martha Stewart baking, Yoga and Pilates classes, and Pinterest-inspired crafts, with their well-dressed kids and immaculate houses.
This is hardly true. Every mother has breakdown moments. Every mother has days where just putting lip gloss on while the teething baby is clinging to her desperately is a feat. There will be many times in the upcoming years you'll yell, "I just want to pee alone!" Yes, I used that word. Man, I am still singing that tune! So, you must redefine what you feel "success" is. For me, success was a day where my house was not a disaster at the end of the day. I got to engage in one social situation throughout the day (playdate, gym conversation, lengthy phone call, whatever it was, I took it). With all that was going on, I made sure my appearance was always intact. Couldn't lose myself. No sir or ma'am.
If you are a working mother outside the home, sometimes you feel guilty for not being home with your children, for not being available for school activities, and for not waiting with open arms when the school day ends. Mothers who stay at home sometimes feel self-conscious for not being able to contribute financially, for not challenging themselves more intellectually, or for lack of competency as a mother. I was able to experience both worlds. Most importantly, I loved being a stay-at-home aunt/mom. It allowed me to get to know my children and niece in an educational and recreational setting. Priceless!
Overall, most moms are looking for the same thing: to do what's best for their children, their families, and themselves.
A critical or defensive tone often surfaces when working and stay-at-home moms get together. I am not sure why, but it happens. From my experience, stay-at-home moms feel the need to defend themselves by insinuating that their choice to stay at home is the better one. But could there be one right way? Why do mothers feel so uncomfortable with each other? Why is there a controversy in the first place? What does a 'good mom' look like? Unaddressed envy, comparison, and insecurity can make anyone critical of something they don't have but might want.
I have observed and been guilty of criticizing other moms because their motherly strategies didn't align with mine. Girl, stop! When I realized that I was doing that, I changed my outlook immediately because there are no perfect ways of being a mom or raising children. There is no one RIGHT way!
As you take this journey with me, open your hearts and minds to my version of being a stay-at-home entrepreneur mom.

Father Of ISIS Bride Sues To Get US To Let Her Come Back
Friday, February 22nd 2019, 11:54 am
The father of an Alabama woman who joined the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Syria filed suit against the Trump administration Thursday in an effort to allow her return to the United States.
Ahmed Ali Muthana argues in the suit filed in federal court in Washington that his 24-year-old daughter, Hoda Muthana, is an American citizen by birth and should be allowed to come back to the U.S. with her toddler son.
Hoda Muthana is now in a Syrian refugee camp with the 18-month-old boy after fleeing the remnants of the Islamic State.

Her lawyers said in a statement that she expects to be charged with providing material support to terrorism if she is allowed to return to the U.S.
"Ms. Muthana has publicly acknowledged her actions and accepted full responsibility for those actions," the lawyers said. "In Ms. Muthana's words, she recognizes that she has 'ruined' her own life, but she does not want to ruin the life of her young child."
"At the end of the day, she is a U.S. citizen, and whether Americans make crimes or not, that doesn't deprive them of their citizenship," one of her attorneys, Hassan Shibly, told CBS News' Holly Williams.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday that the young woman is not a citizen and will not be admitted to the country.
The family and their lawyers say they were told that the U.S. determined she did not qualify for citizenship because her father was a Yemeni diplomat at the time of her birth.
But the family argues that is incorrect. They say that her father ceased to be a diplomat before she was born in Hackensack, New Jersey, and that she had a legitimate passport when she left the U.S. to join the Islamic State in Syria in 2014.
The Obama administration initially determined she was not a citizen and notified her family that it was revoking her passport in January 2016.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, a person born in the U.S. to an accredited foreign diplomatic officer is not subject to U.S. law and is not automatically considered a U.S. citizen at birth.
U.S.-backed forces in Syria are preparing for a final surge into the last town held by ISIS. Even after the terror group is destroyed, there is the question of what to do with the hundreds of ISIS fighters and their families from foreign countries, Williams points out.
Muthana left her home in Hoover, Alabama to become the bride of an ISIS fighter in Syria. She's now a widow.

Festival organizers have issued the following news release:
Director Laura Sky to attend showing of her documentary
Sault Ste. Marie, ON – The Shadows of the Mind Film Festival is pleased to announce that Director Laura Sky will attend the debut of her documentary video Crisis Call (previously titled Our Best Interests at Heart) on Saturday February 22, at 1:30 at the Art Gallery of Algoma.
Thursday night's opening night film The Annihilation of Fish was a complete sell out. The documentary Bowling for Columbine also completely sold out.
Tickets are selling quickly for all movies. Don't be disappointed. Get your tickets early.
For a complete schedule listing of show times, please visit www.shadowsfilmfest.com.
Crisis Call was inspired by the story of Edmond Yu, a psychiatric survivor in crisis who was shot and killed by Toronto police after a 1997 altercation on a city transit bus.
This unique feature-length documentary asks the question: are there alternatives to the use of force, especially lethal force when police deal with people experiencing a mental health crisis?
Award-winning producer-director Laura Sky looks for answers from police, psychiatric survivors, mental health workers and members of the legal system who've been involved in such interventions.
Crisis Call documents their candid, often compelling stories as they challenge the current system and search for solutions to this critical issue. The film festival runs February 20 – 23, 2003. Individual movies are $6.00. Tickets are available at the door but seating is limited. For advance tickets, please call 256-2226 or 759-0458. For more information on the festival, check out our website at www.shadowsfilmfest.com.
Among those sharing their experiences in Crisis Call:
Detective Constable Andria Cowan, one of three police officers involved in the shooting of Edmund Yu. Cowan, who has never before spoken publicly about that tragic event, offers a vivid, very personal account of the shooting and its aftermath.
She admits "it changed how I do policing when I deal with emotionally disturbed people." Later on, we witness Cowan and her partner responding to an EDP (Emotionally Disturbed Person) call.
Cowan diffuses a tense situation involving a distraught woman, but is frustrated in finding shelter for her. "I have the authority under the Mental Health Act to make an assessment to take someone's liberty away, states Cowan, "but I don't have the authority to do an assessment to bring them to a place where they can get help."
Katherine Yu, who hopes that her brother Edmond's death was not in vain: "There's a whole bunch of people out there who might be in a similar situation as Edmond… They deserve a chance to survive."
Stella Montour, an Aboriginal woman who tells the heartbreaking story of how she was sexually assaulted in a psychiatric facility – and how police ignored her crisis.
Shaun Davis, a young man who, in a full-blown psychotic state triggered by a prescription medication overdose, forced a bus off the highway near Thunder Bay in 2000. A passenger later died as a result. A woman who sat near Davis describes that frightening bus ride and in an exclusive interview, Davis recalls how police responded to his plea for help before the tragedy.
Michael Arruda, a former prison guard and now a police constable tours the Montreal Detention Centre (also known as Bordeaux), revealing the disturbing conditions inside the jail's psychiatric unit.
The Honourable Mr. Justice Edward F. Ormston, Mental Health Diversion Court, Toronto region who notes," 25-35% of the prison population suffers from a major mental illnesss…. Jail is the only place that's open to the homeless mentally ill person 24 hours a day."
Sergeant Alan McKenzie, Thunder Bay ETU (Emergency Task Unit) who states "….we've now learned through a hard lesson that people who are psychiatric survivors in crisis are, in fact in crisis, not criminals."
Viewers meet Sergeant McKenzie during an ETU training exercise. The scenario: a desperate woman is threatening to kill herself. The ETU arrives armed with riot shields and high-powered rifles — but they also have trained negotiators and less lethal weapons which fire rubber bullets.
The exercise ends successfully with a negotiated surrender, but a paradoxical question remains: are survivors traumatized by encounters with military-like ETU's, or do ETU's represent a de-escalation of force, since they offer a range of response options for police?
Crisis Call was researched, written, produced and directed by Laura Sky.
"In making this film, I searched out and documented events that most people never see or hear about." notes Sky. "Crisis Call addresses a largely unrecognized, but critical social issue: what happens when the boundaries between policing and mental health care disappear and cops become the new frontline health care workers?" Sky spent two and a half years intensively researching Crisis Call.
She worked with many psychiatric consumer/survivors, survivor advocacy groups, and mental health crisis teams such as Hamilton's COAST program and Vancouver's Car 87.
Sky also worked with two police training programs and five police forces, spending many hours on overnight patrols with police.
This is Sky's sixth feature-length documentary focusing on a topical health care issue. Sky's career spans three decades and 27 documentaries. Her body of work includes Working Like Crazy, seen on TVOntario and other educational networks, and How Can We Love You? the acclaimed documentary on breast cancer which has visited more than 50 communities since its 2001 launch.
This production was funded by the Law Foundation of Ontario, the National Crime Prevention Partnership Program, the Henry White Kinnear Foundation, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, the Laidlaw Foundation, the RBC Foundation and the Jackman Foundation.
Produced by Sky Works Charitable Foundation, Crisis Call will tour across the country with community premieres and workshops.

How a $20,000 baseball cap saved a Genie-winning film
Ten minutes into William Phillips' film Treed Murray is a scene in which a hot dog vendor can be seen wearing a Movie Network (TMN) hat.
"For that, we got $20,000," the director told a sharp-eyed Saultite who spotted the logo during a Saturday-night screening at the Shadows of the Mind Film Festival.
Challenged as to whether it was a product placement, Phillips (shown above) confirmed that the TMN hat capped a deal that kept the $1.2 million Canadian production alive at a time when its future was in doubt.
TMN had already committed to pay for broadcast rights to the drama, but agreed to chip in additional cash for product placement to ensure the film was completed, he said.
When another observant Saultite enquired about the fictional brand of cigarettes preferred by the film's main character, Phillips explained that tobacco manufacturers aren't at all interested in paying to have their products used by someone who also uses crack cocaine and prostitutes.
Treed Murray, the story of a belligerent ad executive cornered in a tree by an angry street gang, is Phillips' first feature-length film.
At this month's Genie Awards, it won twice, for achievement in overall sound and for achievement in sound editing. Treed Murray was nominated for three other Genies, including best picture.
Phillips portrayed his protagonist (actor David Hewlett) as a man as deeply flawed as the young hoodlums who harrass him in a Toronto park.
"We're all flawed. We're all the same," he said during a post-screening question-and-answer period at Station Mall's Galaxy Cinema.
The concept, six characters and a tree in a park, was specifically designed to keep costs down.
It turned out to be more costly than expected because a stunt co-ordinator was needed for each of the 10 days that Hewlett spent being filmed on a tree branch, Phillips told SooToday.com.
In addition to the film-festival circuit, Phillips' film has been screened commercially in Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
Additional screenings are being considered in Calgary and on the East Coast, he said.
The Shadows of the Mind Film Festival is organized by a coalition of local agencies. It offers films that touch on the facts and mythologies surrounding mental health and addictions.

In a surprise development, organizers announced Saturday night that they're adding a second screening of Julien Temple's Pandaemonium, which was shown in connection with a gala opening on Thursday night.
The second screening will be 7 p.m. Sunday at the Galaxy Cinemas.

The event is organized by a coalition of local agencies. It offers films that touch on the facts and mythologies surrounding mental health and addictions.
This is the third annual Shadows of the Mind Festival and this year's highlights include Saturday's 7 p.m. screening of Treed Murray, followed by a question-and-answer session with director William Phillips. That film portrays an encounter between a charismatic advertising executive and an urban youth gang.

MinuteClinic Becomes First Retail Clinic Provider to Launch Partnership with National Patient Safety Foundation for Ask Me 3 Program
Agreement Promotes Health Literacy and Patient/Provider Communication to Improve Health Outcomes
WOONSOCKET, R.I., Dec. 20, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
MinuteClinic, the pioneer and largest provider of retail-based medical clinics in the United States, has entered into an agreement with the National Patient Safety Foundation to become the nation's first retail clinic provider to implement the Ask Me 3 health literacy program.
MinuteClinic will launch the program in early 2011 in its approximately 500 medical clinics located inside select CVS/pharmacy stores in 26 states and the District of Columbia.
"Low health literacy is an emerging public health issue that is broad in scope and can affect any patient regardless of education and reading levels," said Andrew Sussman, M.D., MinuteClinic president and CVS Caremark senior vice president/associate chief medical officer. "Research shows that patients who understand health instructions get well sooner, tend to take their medication regularly and make fewer mistakes with their care. In particular, clear communication helps individuals do a better job of managing chronic health conditions, including those patients we assist with monitoring at MinuteClinic for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and asthma."
Ask Me 3 is a patient education program designed to enhance communication between health care providers and patients in order to improve health outcomes. The program encourages patients to ask and understand the answers to three questions: What is my main problem? What do I need to do? Why is it important for me to do this?
"Improving health literacy and the dialogue between patient and provider are essential to safe and appropriate patient care," said Diane Pinakiewicz, president of the National Patient Safety Foundation. "We look forward to working with MinuteClinic to further our shared goal of providing clear and simple information that helps patients become active participants in managing their health and more knowledgeable about the care they need."
Ask Me 3 posters will appear at all MinuteClinic locations nationwide and brochures about the program will be offered to patients when they visit. Each clinic will have a certificate designating it an Ask Me 3 participant.
In addition, MinuteClinic practitioners will receive Ask Me 3 training developed by the non-profit National Patient Safety Foundation.
"Health literacy is the strongest predictor of an individual's health status," said Paulette Thabault, MinuteClinic chief nurse practitioner officer. "This program will provide another tool for our practitioners to help them encourage and empower patients to take ownership of their own health."
About Ask Me 3
Ask Me 3 is an educational program provided by the National Patient Safety Foundation to encourage open communications between patients and health care providers. To learn more about Ask Me 3 and the National Patient Safety Foundation, visit www.npsf.org.

Two brothers were abandoned by their irresponsible father and separated early in life. Despite their unhappy childhood, they keep smiling as though to convince themselves not to cry. But they don't know each other's faces or names yet… It's the beginning of a story full of laughter and tears about a family no one has ever seen before!
About the director: Nobuo MIZUTA, born in 1958 in the Hiroshima prefecture, began his career working on TV Dramas at NTV 1981. As early as 2003 he filmed a script by Japanese enfant terrible Kankuro KUDO before he made is cinema debut in 2006 with BOY MEETS GHOST.


The Bundesliga is back and another exciting season awaits with a star-filled league ready to deliver once more. The established greats will again on be on display, but who will be the next young talent to emerge onto the German footballing stage? Here we take a look at eight youngsters we think just might be the ones to watch (criteria: 20-years-old and under and not a new signing to the league e.g Leverkusen's Paulinho).
Youngster Jadon Sancho was the breakout youngster for BVB last season and this time around it could be 17-year-old midfielder Sergio Gomez. The Barcelona youth product made two brief substitute appearances at the tail end of last season against Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart and despite the stiff competition for places in Lucien Favre's squad, will have an eye on more outings this season.
He impressed on Dortmund's US tour this summer and will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of both Christian Pulisic and Jadon Sancho in breaking into the BVB first-team and shining.
The 20-year-old burst onto the scene at Mainz last season in a blaze of glory scoring twice in his three appearances to help the Nullfünfer achieve Bundesliga survival.
Mainz will face another season of struggle and will want to see the attacking midfielder pushing on and rediscovering the form he showed in the final games of last season. He faces stiff competition in Sandro Schwarz's squad, but he may be called upon as he was last year.
18-year-old full-back Beyer was handed his full debut in Gladbach's recent DFB Pokal thrashing of BSC Hastedt following an injury to summer signing Michael Lang and his knee injury looks set to keep him out of action for a number of weeks.
The stage then is set for the teenage right-back to take his opportunity. He's been at the club since joining in 2015 and last season saw him moving between the U-19 squad and the fringes of the first-team- this season will hopefully see him firmly ensconced with the big boys.
US youngster Josh Sargent has been earmarked by many observers to be ready to show what he can do for Werder Bremen's first team this season. Having impressed at the U-17 and U-20 World Cups, the 18-year-old Missourian is now looking to make his Bundesliga debut (he's already been capped at full international level).
Pre-season has seen him score twice for the Grün-Weißen and although Max Kruse and Martin Harnik are the club's first-choice, he will look to learn from the 'old master' Claudio Pizarro and compete for playing minutes at the Weser Stadion.
Hertha Berlin have a rich crop of young players coming through with their U-19 side having won last season's championship, but perhaps the pick of the bunch is 18-year-old winger Dennis Jastrzembski, who possesses lightning pace and has a good eye for goal.
Hertha coach Pal Dardai has already earmarked him as a potential "surprise" this season and with the Old Lady having to rely on home-grown talent rather than big money signings, the path is open to him to impress. That is exactly what he did in Hertha's recent DFB Pokal first round win when he arrived as a 75th minute substitute and assisted for Vedad Ibisevic's 83rd minute goal in a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig.
His older brother Dejan had quite the season last year making both the Champions League and World Cup finals and the 19-year-old younger sibling Davor is now looking to garner some attention of his own. The winger was on loan last season at Fortuna Düsseldorf from Dinamo Zagreb and his impressive displays (1 goal, 2 assists) helped the club to promotion and earned himself a permanent move to the Merkur Spielarena.
Goals will be key for Fortuna as they seek to survive in the top flight and the supply to last season's Bundesliga II top scorer Marvin Duksch will be vital. Lovren will look to be the one to deliver the ammunition.
The loss of Sandro Wagner, Mark Uth and Serge Gnabry has taken away a great deal of Hoffenheim's attacking threat, but coach Julian Nagelsmann seems unworried and the fact they have 19-year-old David Otto coming through the ranks could be one reason for the trainer's calmness.
He scored a hatful of goals in the A-Junioren league last season (27) and has got himself on the scoresheet for the first team in pre-season. Nagelsmann showed last season in Dennis Geiger and Robin Hack that he is not afraid to blood youngsters if they are good enough. Otto could be the next to benefit from Nagelsmann's tuition.
The 19-year-old midfielder only made two brief appearances for Hannover last season, but he is already on the radar of some top European clubs with Manchester United already linked with him. He's played for Germany from U-16 to U-19 level but is also eligible to play for Kenya.
He's contracted at Hannover until 2022, but a breakout season this year could see more interested parties sending scouts to the HDI Arena to check out his progress.
Nice shout. I can see him getting odd minutes if Stuttgart are doing well, but as for a breakout season, not yet for me.
any thoughts about David Kopacz?


After cutting up and re-glassing this seat pan to fit Brads freakishly long legs.
Ended up moving the seat back towards the rear about 50mm or so while keeping the over all foot print the same. Check out the ZON to see why.
I still have to come up with a fastener solution, reinforce some chopping that I did to the under-tail and re-gel coat it but its close enough for Brad to try it out.


The first stage of coming out is acknowledging to yourself how you feel about your gender. This isn't always straightforward.
Some trans people feel clear about their gender identity from a young age. But for others, it's less obvious, and how they feel about their gender may shift over time.
Acknowledging how you feel about yourself sometimes involves overcoming feelings of shame, guilt or fear of disapproval.
If you feel a persistent discomfort about your gender and you can't work it out on your own, psychological therapy or counselling may help. Ask your GP what help is available in your area.
When you're coming out for the first time, it's best to tell someone who you trust and who will be supportive and understanding. This may be a close friend, a parent, a partner or another relative.
Make contact with other people in a similar situation because this can build your confidence. If you know people who would understand, you'll be in a better position to tell others.
Try to act confidently even if you don't feel confident.
Talk to people you trust, and don't tell everyone at once.
If you tell someone who is close to you and they have a negative reaction, give them space. Try to put yourself in the position of the people you tell, especially partners. Your news can affect how they feel about themselves and about their sexuality, as well as how they feel about you.
Be patient but persistent if you want someone to call you by a different name and pronoun.
Work out what's right for you, not what's right for other trans people. Be open to your feelings and needs changing over time.
"By the time you decide to come out, you've already had time to process how you feel," says Jay McNeil of TransBareAll.
"You need to give other people time too. It's unrealistic to expect those who are close to you to come to terms with it immediately.
"But when other people do accept who you are, it really helps your self-esteem."
If you decide to transition (live full-time in another gender), coming out involves more than just telling the people who are close to you.
Unless you move to a new area, you'll have to tell almost everyone you know, from family and friends to work colleagues. Transition involves being accepted in your new gender by those around you.
Transsexual people who want to transition but haven't yet had gender realignment treatment face specific difficulties. They may have started taking steps to "pass" in their chosen gender, such as in the way they dress, but find it difficult to convince people that they're a particular gender because they may still look and sound like another gender.
Living full-time in a different gender usually means changing your name. People will have to change the way they talk about you, for instance referring to you as 'he' rather than 'she' or 'she' instead of 'he'. Sooner or later, you'll have to update your records with organisations such as the DVLA, the passport office, the tax office, banks and insurance companies.
To update your records, many organisations or official bodies will ask you to provide evidence that you've formally changed your name. The most straightforward way to do this is by obtaining a statutory declaration.
Some people who transition decide to apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate. Official gender recognition means that you must be treated as a person of your new gender for all legal purposes.


The event was held at a new lounge, Da Vinci, on Adetokunbo Ademola Street. I'm not sure if it's open yet, but they were kind enough to give Dee the space for the event. I think it's cute, but there's one big safety hazard that they need to check. I told the girl at the bar and I'm hoping she mentioned it to her managers - if not, someone will fall and likely fracture a bone.
There were quite a number of people that attended. Thank God I wrote down some of the bloggers' names and their blog addresses! I wish I had my blog business cards on hand with me - but they came late. There's a post tomorrow on my business cards so make sure you come back to see it.
Zaron Cosmetics sent a representative, Ebony (yes, that's actually her real name) to talk to us about the brand. I was really impressed with the story and I hope to work with Zaron in the future.
I didn't really get to eat much as I ate before leaving my apartment, and was rushing to the airport.
The drinks by Cointreau were really good though.
The freebie and giveaways were really a lot. Dee tried in getting all those brands. Remember in my post about things I learned from our Meet and Greet event? One of my points was "Who You Know Matters." I got a lovely outfit from Byge - I'll do a separate post on it.
Zaron gave out a whole lot!!! I think they're on a marketing campaign of sorts because they were at the Beauty in Lagos event yesterday and they also gave out freebies.
I didn't take a photo of myself, but luckily Dee's photographer got one of me and I lifted it off her post on the event.
I wish I was able to take my own photo though - outside in natural light. Natural light beats ALL other lights. Ah well.
Have a gorgeous week everyone! Merry Christmas in advance. Love you more than cake, ice cream and ripe plantain.
It was good to have you there Berry, I love Love your pictures as well.
Looking forward to seeing your business cards.
So proud of you Dee... Hope to attend next year... Maybe more sef. Lovely pictures Berry.
Yes! I can't wait to see your Business Cards. It is really good to see a local brand take interest in bloggers and blogging.
This makes me want to patronize them more.
Cute pics Berry, I love Zaron cosmetics!
LOL I think Dee Mako is the same in person.
Maybe it's because she was organising her own event. Quite a few times, I've put heels in my car for NITC meets but I'm too occupied or nervous, I can't be bothered to wear. She was at one meet-up this year, in all her fashion blogger glory. I photographed her a lot.
Yeah Zaron is bae. I love their lip stain.The event looks well put together.
Such a beautiful event it seems thanks for sharing.

Ferrazzano humbled by appointment to Fifth District Court Judge
November 30, 2017 Per Peterson News 0
By Per Peterson
Tracy Mayor Steve Ferrazzano was appointed Fifth District Court Judge by Gov. Mark Dayton on Thursday, meaning the mayor of Tracy will have to forgo some of the final full year of his term.
Ferrazzano will be replacing the Honorable Bradley C. Walker and will be chambered at St. James in Watonwan County.
"I feel blessed and I feel honored to be appointed by the governor to be a district court judge," Ferrazzano said Thursday. "It's an incredible feeling, and I look forward to continue to serve the public in that capacity. It's very, very, very humbling."
Ferrazzano's term officially ends in January 2019, but since he isn't allowed to hold two appointed or elected positions simultaneously, his term will end when he takes the bench. That date has yet to be determined.
"I wouldn't have to stop being the mayor until I get sworn in as a judge, that's my understanding," he said.
The judgeship is an appointed seat for now, but once his initial appointment ends he will be up for election. In Tracy, Ferrazzano said he believes the president pro tem of the city council, Pam Cooreman, would fill in for the whatever time is left on his term.
"That would be the easiest thing to do instead of advertising again for positions," said Ferrazzano, who told the Headlight Herald in October that he wouldn't run for another term. He has sat in the mayor's seat for 11 years and was a councilman for six.
"It's been positive," he said of his time as mayor and on the council. "When you're the mayor — it is humbling to be in that position. To have it for the number of years I did was also humbling — that the voters thought you were doing a good enough job that you'd get re-elected."
Besides serving as Tracy's mayor, Ferrazzano is Assistant State Public Defender on the Public Defender Trial Team, representing indigent clients in serious felony matters.
Previously, he was an Assistant Public Defender for the Fifth Judicial District and an Associate Attorney in private practice at Nelson & Van Hon. He earned his BA from the College of New Jersey and his JD from the University of North Dakota.
Ferrazzano said his time spent on the trial team was fulfilling.
"I got a chance to go around the state, representing individual with serious felonies, so I got an opportunity to see a lot of courtrooms and the way things operated in different parts of the state," he said. "I concentrated a lot on certain forensics issues that you normally may not have the time to do if you are a public defender in just a local area. I enjoyed the work immensely. I love being in court, so I was very satisfied with what I was doing."
Ferrazzano serves on the board of the Sanford Tracy Hospital, the Tracy Economic Development Authority and is a member of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.
He said being a mayor was never a responsibility he took lightly.
"Being the mayor of the town, it's a significant responsibility," he said. "It's an important position. Hopefully people look favorably on my time as mayor."
Ferrazzano, 48, said a judgeship wasn't necessarily a goal of his, but he has given the prospect plenty of thought.
"I figured I'd give it a shot, see what happens," he deadpanned.
Ferrazzano said he had to fill out an application for appointment, and semifinalists were then selected. After an interview in front of the judicial election committee, a group of finalists is recommended to the governor. Those finalists are then interviewed by Gov. Dayton, who makes the official appointment. Ferrazzano interviewed with Dayton on Monday.
Ferrazzano said he will commute to St. James for the time being. He and his wife, Dianne, have one son, Stephen, who is a freshman at the University of Sioux Falls.
Minnesota's Fifth Judicial District consists of Blue Earth, Brown, Cottonwood, Faribault, Jackson, Lincoln, Lyon, Martin, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Pipestone, Redwood, Rock, and Watonwan counties.
