A seasoned community health practitioner and community innovator, Oros discussed how the practice of community health must be radically retooled to promote health and wellness for the next generation. "A new set of health issues, capacities, and partnerships will be necessary to achieve true health care reform that changes outcomes and addresses the alarming health disparities confronting some of our nation's poorest communities," she said.
This Month in School of Nursing History
In October 1926, a 30-bed children's department opened at University Hospital, allowing the Hospital's Training School for Nurses to provide onsite pediatric clinical experiences for its students.
New Web Site Unveiled
UMSON's newly designed Web site, launched October 5, concludes a nine-month project to create a new Web presence for the School. The goal of the project, led by Bryan Hantman, director of Web development and e-communications, was to reconstruct the Web site in response to market demands and trends within higher education, best practices in Web development and design, and overall expectations of functionality in a Web site.

With this information in mind, we talk with IT about where they tend to operate on the "technology continuum." In other words: How often do they turn over hardware? How aggressive are they in acquiring the newest technology? How flexible are they in appropriating funds and staff to go along with the new business or technology as it occurs? We then overlay all this information with our knowledge (some public and some under non-disclosure) as to how the industry is moving. Finally, we work up actual layouts to determine the amount of space that will be realistically required over the projected time period, both for technology and for infrastructure. Considering how hardware is getting smaller, but at the same time proliferating, and the move many companies are making toward server consolidation and virtual computing, this is not a simple task. And it is far from a "rule-of-thumb" process.
But no matter how confident we are with our analysis and projections, we are always looking to locate the data center so there is opportunity for future expansion into "soft space" -- area that can be taken over without having to move a department with difficult or expensive amenities and with nothing on the separating wall that would make its removal problematic, such as power panels or the communications demark. In many cases, this area is even equipped with raised floor, piping and power feeds in order to get heavy construction done at the least expense and with minimal later disruption.
The one "rule of thumb" we can provide is that it is generally accepted today that, for a major data center meeting the Uptime Institute's Tier 3 or Tier 4 standards, you should plan on the mechanical/electrical support space being at least another 50% (and probably closer to 100%) of the technology room space. In other words, whatever space you predict will be needed for cabinets and other technical hardware, double it.

Superintendent John Deasy wants to buy every teacher and student in Los Angeles Unified School District a tablet computer within a year or two — 700,000 of the electronic devices, he figures — and pay for it with bonds that were passed by voters to build, repair and update school facilities.
Deasy isn't the only one eager to use bond money to buy tablets, though L.A. Unified's purchase would be uniquely ambitious in its size and reach. In fact, though the legality is somewhat sketchy, this is becoming as much a trend as starting up charter schools.

After nearly 12 years of war in Afghanistan, a significant investment of U.S. resources and the deaths of more than 2,100 U.S. servicemen and women, Americans are understandably tired, and some question our continued involvement. But when assessing the wars worth, the progress made and our continued presence, we must remember why we deployed U.S. forces to Afghanistan in the first place. We also must consider what we have accomplished to date and the prospects for achieving our stated objectives.
It was the vicious attacks of 9/11, planned by al-Qaida from its safe haven in Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban, that brought us to Afghanistan. Our objective was to prevent the use of Afghanistan as a terrorist base of operations from which attacks could be launched on the U.S. or our allies. In 2001, we put U.S. forces in this country because it was in our national interests to do so. In 2013, U.S. forces remain in Afghanistan because those national interests have not changed.
An important lesson learned over the past decade is that constant pressure on extremist networks is a critical part of undermining their ability to plan and conduct operations from this region. Such pressure, together with political, diplomatic and economic efforts, is going to be required post-2014 to continue denying them safe haven.
Over the past 12 years, we have accomplished a great deal. The presence, partnership and persistence of U.S. and coalition forces have enabled the Afghan people, government and security forces to make noteworthy advances in several areas.
On the security front, since June 18, Afghan National Security Forces have been in the lead for security across the country. Now halfway through this years fighting season, Afghan forces have demonstrated they can hold their own against the Taliban and extremist networks. They are planning, leading and executing complex missions. They have continued to grow in size and capability. But work remains to be done.
Over the past few years, we rapidly fielded Afghan forces with a priority on getting them into the fight. Now, we have shifted our focus to quality and sustainability. In order for the Afghan forces to secure their nation following the end of the current International Security Assistance Force mission in December 2014, we must continue to assist the Afghans in developing the systems, processes and institutions necessary to support a modern Army and police force.
For the Afghan people, the accomplishments over the past 12 years have been significant. In education, the number of schools has increased from approximately 1,000 during the Taliban era to more than 14,000 today, and the number of teachers has gone from 20,000 to 175,000.
Twelve years ago, there were approximately 1 million students, none of them girls, and today nearly 8 million Afghan children attend school, more than a third of them girls. More than 100,000 Afghan students are expected to enter post-secondary schools this year.
In the area of health, life expectancy for Afghans has increased 8 percent in just over a decade, access to basic health services has increased 85 percent and the mortality rate for children under 5 has dropped from 257 per 1,000 live births to 97 per 1,000. Infant mortality has dropped 53 percent, and the maternal mortality rate has decreased 80 percent. In infrastructure development, the number of telephone users has increased more than 1,800 percent since 2001, and nearly 60 percent of the population today has cellular phones. Afghanistan has gone from approximately 18,000 km of roads in 2001 to more than 42,000 km today. There were very few TV and radio stations during the Taliban era, and today there are about 75 TV stations and 175 radio stations serving the Afghan people.
While Afghanistan still faces many challenges, it is headed in the right direction toward a peaceful, stable and unified outcome. A political solution will be needed to end decades of war in Afghanistan. We can best support an outcome that protects our national interests by remaining engaged in this region, supporting the Afghan people and the ANSF, holding the Afghan government accountable for needed reforms and facilitating a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
The cost of continued engagement in Afghanistan will not be inexpensive and must be balanced with our many other commitments. As we found out on 9/11, however, the cost of neglect can be far, far more expensive.
Brig. Gen. Laura Richardson, U.S. Army, is the deputy chief of staff for communications of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.

Softball Stays Alive With Thrilling Extra Innings Win
VALDOSTA, Ga., - The FGCU softball team kept their season alive with a 4-3 win over top seeded Valdosta State. The Eagles improve to 60-7 establishing a new school record for wins in a season. The Blazers finish the year at 47-9.
Valdosta State got on the board first with a run in the top of the first. Lead-off batter Telicia Ramsey led off with a single. Two batters later, Robin Williams drove in the first run of the game. The Eagles answered with a lead-off homerun by Rachel Homan (Vero Beach, Fla.), her second of the regional and 19th of the season. FGCU continued to get runners on base, but stranded five runners while lining into a pair of double plays in the first four innings.
The Blazers put up two more runs off a two-run single by Ashley Mayue to take a 3-1 lead. The Eagles evened up the score in the bottom of the fifth. Homan led off with a single down the left field line. Carmen Paez (Belle Glade, Fla.) came to the plate with one out and hit a two-run homer that just cleared the left field fence to knot the score.
Both teams squandered opportunities to score as the game went to extra innings. The Eagles left 10 runners on base in the contest while Valdosta State stranded nine.
However, in the bottom of the ninth, Cheyenne Jenks (Naples, Fla.) led off with her 4th hit of the game. Paez hit a line drive to the right field fence that scored Jenks for the winning run.
Dana Frantz (Brighton, Mich.) came in and picked up the win in relief to move to 27-4 on the year while Ashley Mayhue picked up the loss for the Blazers.
The Eagles will be in action again at approximately 6:30 when they face Rollins in an elimination game.

AFRICOM's primary project is to transform the militaries of the continent into dependencies and pawns of U.S. foreign policy. It's second most import objective is the hide Washington's actual intentions behind a "humanitarian" mask – such as participating in the search for Nigerian schoolgirls from Boko Haram. Some African journalists are eager to be part of the ruse.
Washington's military tentacles daily tighten their grip on Africa, in ever deepening collusion with France. "Allowing the U.S., France and others to essentially take charge of Africa's militaries creates or maintains an almost childlike dependence on imperialist forces."
The author believes African liberation and the fall of U.S. imperialism can be achieved by triumph of the "Three R's": Reclamation, Reparations and Repatriation. In terms of day to day struggle, that translates as "pressuring the U.S. military out of Africa, assisting on the return of Africa's land and mineral wealth to Africans, and supporting the unity of a truly independent African continent."
The U.S. Africa Command, AFRICOM, becomes more entrenched on the continent by the day. American drones bases dot the landscape and U.S. troops interact constantly with their African counterparts. Africa has collaborated in its own occupation. "There has been increasing cooperation between African militaries and U.S. forces, and it has allowed AFRICOM to gain a more secure foothold on African soil."
by Mark P. Fancher
The carnage at a Kenyan shopping mall is a direct result of U.S. policy in Somalia. In 2006, Washington and Ethiopia invaded Somalia, overthrowing a moderate Islamic government and plunging the country into a war that has killed hundreds of thousands and left millions displaced. Kenya later joined the invaders, further escalating a U.S.-led conflict that has finally reached deep into Nairobi.
Newly re-elected Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe has again defied the imperial wrath of the U.S. and Great Britain, with his announcement "that the government will seize foreign banks and mines and redistribute them to local investors." Such actions can get one killed, but Mugabe is no easy target for the West's secret services. He has a popular base, and a loyal armed forces.
The U.S. Military Command in Africa – AFRICOM – is a highly sophisticated force for domination of the continent. AFRICOM is adept at "manipulating news and commentary on the Internet, especially social media," portraying itself as an ally in "the fight for Africa's liberation from the grip of terrorism." Don't believe the hype.
Is the International Criminal Court guilty of "international racial profiling"? The ICC has managed to indict only Africans for crimes against humanity, "while ignoring numerous civilian deaths caused by U.S. air strikes in Afghanistan and other crimes committed by non-Africans."
by Mark P. Fancher
Whether rightists or "socialists," all French governments believe in their inalienable right to dominate Africa. French troops are on the move in Mali and the Central African Republic, and not long ago overthrew the regime in Ivory Coast. If the colonial era has passed, somebody ought to tell Paris – and French-speaking Africans – the news.
The U.S. and European media frame "racial" conflicts among the peoples of Africa as endemic to the continent, rather than a legacy and tool of colonial rule. However, "the crisis in Mali is not a simple conflict between two racial groups that can't get along, even if race is somewhere in the mix."
The United States plans to permanently station a U.S. Army brigade on African soil, beginning next year. Is this the start of something big – and ominous – or "only a benign creeping U.S. military presence in Africa?"
South Africa did not complete its revolution with the transfer of government power to Black hands in 1994. The Marikana mine massacre shows that imperialism "will not tolerate any disruption in the flow of profits from the exploitation of highly valuable natural resources." The question now comes to a head: Will the poor majority of South Africa tolerate a Black government that defends the interests of imperialism?
The expanding U.S. spy infrastructure in Africa, including a network of landing strips to service a fleet of intelligence-gathering aircraft, is inherently hostile to African self-dermination. That's because "those who dictate U.S. intelligence policy make decisions on the basis of where access to oil and valuable minerals is threatened, or where an African leader has in some way resisted the imperialist program." Washington is establishing the structures to recolonize Africa, in the guise of anti-terrorism.
The U.S. military command in Africa, AFRICOM, has trained thousands of officers on the continent, including the young captain that overthrew his own government in Mali, this year. "If AFRICOM's protégés have taken careful note of how the U.S. military is routinely used to try and take whatever the U.S. wants in Africa, often without regard for law, custom or prudence, it is not hard to imagine how or why Amadou Sanogo might do the same thing in his own country."
The U.S. and Uganda are playing a cynical game of musical chairs in Africa. The Americans send Green Berets to Uganda, ostensibly to help the beleaguered Ugandan military hunt down Joseph Kony's LRA guerillas, while the Ugandans send thousands of soldiers to Somalia to prop up the U.S.-backed government in Mogadishu. "The U.S. has no real interest in the LRA, but is drawn instead to oil fields in Uganda and South Sudan."

Oscar Grant was murdered by a transit cop on a Bay Area subway platform before hundreds of witnesses. To enable his killer to go free, he had to be murdered again and again in the media and the courts. This book, coming in January, tells the story of these multiple murders.

Was the US and NATO's Libyan intervention a humanitarian campaign to protect Libyans against Muammar Gaddafi's threats of mass violence and genocide, or was it a cynically "rehearsed military expedition" to force regime change and wield Western authority in the region? Far from being an action to save lives, NATO's "indiscriminate" bombing of civilian targets and cities such as Sirte (Gaddafi's birthplace) resulted in genocide, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and civil war..
The year that saw an African American run for the presidency as a viable contender also witnessed a truly remarkable silence. While millions of words written about the political ascent of one black man, there was virtually nothing about the descent of black leadership into well-nigh total ineffectiveness. Barack Obama's personal itinerary was mapped in the minutest detail. The larger itinerary of African Americans was mostly ignored.

When Farallone View Elementary School teacher Linda Herbert won Half Moon Bay Patch's Teacher Appreciation Contest in early October, she received as a prize not only recognition from people in her school community, but also volunteer hours by a Patch editor.
After some phone calls back and forth, Herbert invited me to help in her kindergarten/1st grade classroom on Continent Day, an annual event where the entire school visits another part of the world without having to get on an airplane.
This year, the school traveled to Asia, one continent I've never been to before so I was excited for the experience.
Herbert's classroom was delightfully transformed into a Japanese teahouse built and painted by students and parent volunteers Christa Myers-Barker and Sarah Bunkin. Children moved from one activity to another painting Gyotaku fish prints, eating rice, udon noodles and seaweed with chopsticks, planting bonsai trees, and making Japanese headbands called hachimaki.
The classroom was very lively and animated with the chaos that comes from excited children free to explore something new. Upon meeting, Herbert immediately directed me to the bonsai table where children from Kindergarten through 5th grade visiting the classroom were to decorate the soil around their planted bonsai trees with pebbles, shells, stones, tile, and plastic toys. It was my job to supervise this table. After they were done, each student pulled their "passport" out of a brown paper bag and stamped it, documenting their visit. It was such a creative, darling and fun project to help out with.
One hundred bonsai trees later, I had a little time left to visit the other classrooms, and I'm glad I did since I've never been to Asia before. From China, Thailand, and Pakistan to Russia, India and the Philippines, every classroom at the school was decorated to the hilt and featured projects and food related to the people, culture, art, history, geography, and natural history of Asia.
I came to learn that Continent Day at Farrallone View wasn't always so elaborate. When Herbert came to Farallone View about 20 years ago, she said, she first started hosting a simpler version of Continent Day in her classroom.
"I would put a movie on and have activities for the kids and pretend for the day that we were in another country," said Herbert.
Since then the concept has expanded and includes all grades as well as the support of school staff and parent volunteers.
"I have so many wonderful parents who do so much here," she said. "It's because of them that this day is always so remarkable."
Herbert, who has been teaching in the Cabrillo Unified School District for 30 years, started her first few years of teaching at Hatch Elementary School. When she came to Farallone View she found her niche teaching kindergarten and 1st grade.
She moves about her classroom with an ease and level of patience that only an experienced teacher with a tolerance and love for children can master. She's smiley and pleasant, the kind of warm and fuzzy kindergarten teacher that makes you want to sit in circle time and be in kindergarten all over again.
With paint drips on the classroom floor and her hands covered in soil, helping children plant their bonsai trees into plastic containers to take home, Herbert lets the mess fall to the wayside in the moment of teaching her students.
"These are Norway spruce bonsai trees," she joyfully tells the students. "Make sure you cover the roots with enough soil, and don't forget to water them as soon as you get home."
You can see that she goes beyond the four walls of the classroom to give her students hands-on experience with the outside world.
"She is a dedicated teacher," said parent volunteer Myers-Barker, as she serves udon noodles on a plate to some students. "Both my kids are lucky enough to have her as their teacher."
I feel lucky, too, that I was able to experience Herbert's classroom on Continent Day and volunteer for such a competent and joyful teacher such as her. It's no wonder she won Patch's Teacher Appreciation Contest!

While other Ohio State students were preparing for the annual Mirror Lake jump, the Ohio State women's basketball team was at work as they hosted St. Francis (PA). Before the game it was announced that center Ashley Adams would not be playing due to a leg injury, joining freshman guard Cait Craft as players out of action due to injury. Sophomore Darryce Moore moved from her normal starting four spot to the center position and junior Martina Ellerbe got the start at forward.
Moore and Ellerbe wasted no time in showing that they are comfortable on offense in their new roles tonight as they combined for six points in the opening minutes as Ohio State took an 8-4 lead three minutes into the game. St. Francis showed they weren't a pushover though, scoring the next five points to take a 9-8 lead with fifteen minutes to go in the half. The Buckeyes responded with a 10 to 3 run that put them up 18-12 with just under eleven minutes remaining in the half. The Red Flash slowly chipped away at the lead and pulled within three, 23-20, with five and half remaining before the break. The two teams traded baskets for the rest of the half with St. Flash pulling within a point but Ohio State managed to hit the last basket of the half and go into the locker room up 32-29.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — 'Personhood' an error
William Davy's (Oct. 24) rant regarding Move To Amend was so far off the mark it cannot go unanswered, so here are the facts: "Free speech for me, not for thee" is as far from MTA's motto as humanly possible. Our goal is to make it crystal clear that speech is speech, and money is not speech. We are trying to protect your right to be heard and not drowned out by huge expenditures of money.
Yes, Move To Amend is a nonprofit corporation, and we readily agree it should not have the same rights as human beings; it doesn't want them. The human beings in corporations don't have fewer rights because their rights are still guaranteed under the Constitution.
We are not trying to repeal First Amendment rights. Nothing we embrace affects the press's right to political advocacy, and we specifically say so in our proposed amendment. Corporations are not mentioned in the Constitution.
Corporate personhood is an error foisted on us by an activist court, not something written in the Constitution. It usurps the rights of people and is using those rights to gain political influence and tax advantages for corporations at our expense.
Michael Moran
Gift horse
Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. In an editorial about the coal docks (Oct. 29), Mayor Estes is reported as saying that with the city's experience with the Con Foster Museum, it's a decade away from agreeing to any deals with nonprofits.
The city owns a building that sat unused for over 10 years. City Commissioners couldn't find a use for the building. The roof, heating system, bathrooms needed replacing; the city figured $800,000. Along comes a nonprofit that offers to spend the $800,000. Plans were submitted, the Zoning Board gave its blessing, and we now have Bijou by the Bay. Recently over 200 people saw movies there, in addition to over 1,000 people at the State. Do you think any of those people spent any money downtown? As a bonus, people attending the Bijou and the State tend to be civilized, non-disruptive members of the community.
So what's not to like? The mayor said he hadn't read the contract he directed the city manager to sign, but you can't blame the State Theatre for that. The Bijou looks like a win-win to me.

Although more and more students apply and get their answers early, most high school students with college ambitions are still waiting impatiently to find out where they will be studying next year.
A generation ago, students received a letter in the mail — the telltale thin envelope had a rejection inside while the fat one was packed with information for the accepted student.
Some colleges still adhere to that method, but many now deliver the news either via email or through an online system that requires students to check in with a code.
A few appear to make phone calls to accepted students, though those are few and far between. Decisions are usually meted out before April 1.
How do you think colleges should deliver their news — good or bad?
Take our poll and tell us your college decision stories in the comments. Are you still waiting?

Video solution to enhance safety, security
The OneWireless Video Solution allows plants to enhance perimeter security using industrial video cameras over the OneWireless network.
Honeywell announced the OneWireless Video Solution, which allows plants to enhance their perimeter security and employee safety by deploying industrial video cameras over the OneWireless network.
The video solution brings together Honeywell Process Solutions' (HPS) expertise in process control, industrial security and wireless communications to provide a comprehensive system consisting of wireless services, closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, Digital Video Manager and the OneWireless Network —all integrated with Honeywell's Experion process control system and Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI) security management system and integration platform.
The OneWireless Video Solution takes advantage of wireless technology's flexibility by enabling video coverage in difficult-to-cable, difficult-to-reach, or unmanned locations. Integration with Experion and EBI allows operators to view alarms and events remotely and respond to issues quickly and safely. The OneWireless Video Solution can be installed in facilities operating within all industries, especially hazardous areas in the chemicals, oil and gas, refining and mining industries.
The HPS portfolio provides a turn-key system that combines distributed control systems (DCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technology with CCTV surveillance systems and a wireless local area network. The system takes advantage of the IEEE 802.11-based wireless networks found in industrial plants and the improvement in video data compression that allows users to stream larger amounts of video data and install numerous CCTV cameras on a single wireless Ethernet network. The ability to segregate video and process/sensor data allows customers to install the sensors, I/O devices and cameras on a single wireless network leveraging the investment in the OneWireless network infrastructure.

---- — Board candidate
TO THE EDITOR: I am running for my seat on the Board of Fire Commissioners, which I have proudly held for the past six years.
The last four years I have served as vice chairman of that board.
In my second year as commissioner, I introduced an old style of budget that was adopted and saw an increase in the overall budget of less than $300 from the previous year.
In that same year, I ran a 911 project that had five parts to it:
I work very hard with the other board members to ensure your fire tax remains affordable for all and see to it that our fire personnel have whatever equipment they need so they can continue to provide the level of service that you have come accustomed to.
To be eligible to vote, you must live inside the AuSable Forks Fire District and be a registered voter. The election is 6 to 9 p.m. Dec. 11 at the AuSable Forks Fire Department.
I thank you for your support.

Remember that with old friends come old foes – Sonic must continue to battle the dangerous Dr. Robotnik as he searches for the Chaos Emeralds, while Joe Musashi, Red leader of the Oboro School of Shinobi, must overcome an evil force emanating from Neo City that has captured your fellow students.
The third classic SEGA Game Gear game, Dragon Crystal , sees you meander through a misty maze crawling with terrifying creatures. Your goal is to find as many useful weapons as possible that will help you defeat your foe and ultimately to escape the maze and a deadly fate.
Check out at the latest Wii Virtual Console and Nintendo DSiWare offering – Proto Man has mysteriously gone berserk in Mega Man 5, and attention to detail is required whilst searching for all the hidden keys in Hints Hunter.

Diane Kruger?
Why She's No.83
Troy was the movie that was supposed to make German actress Diane Kruger famous, in which she played the mythic Helen of Troy while Brad Pitt stepped into the shoes (and heel) of Achilles. But the role that truly made her famous stateside actually happened six years later in a different kind of war movie altogether, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. Kruger played a German actress who uses her power and influence to help take down the Third Reich in a film that dares to fictionalize World War II with tales of Nazi scalpers and a complete reimagining of Hitler's death. So what does an actress do after starring in the role of a lifetime? Kruger stars in the 2010 sci-fi fantasy Mr. Nobody opposite Jared Leto as well as the 2011 thriller Unknown White Male opposite Liam Neeson and fellow Top 99er January Jones of Mad Men fame.

HOUSTON – Family and friends of Andrea Senteno held a barbecue fundraiser Thursday for the 24-year-old mother, who died Saturday morning after a hit-and-run accident.
The fundraiser was held at a home on Valley Stream Street as the family tries to raise money for Senteno's funeral services, which will be held Saturday.
"We are just blessed that people that we don't even know are coming out and being supportive of us," Sylvia Delacruz, Senteno's aunt, said.
Senteno died early Saturday morning after being struck by a truck in the 2900 block of West Mount Houston.
Her family believes she was walking to her aunt's house after friends had left her at a nightclub.
None of them can understand how anyone could have left her to die.
Investigators believe the vehicle that hit her was a dark Ford F-150. Relatives said it was not an accident.
"It just doesn't make sense," Sarah Aguilar, the victim's cousin, said. "She was just down the street. She, it just doesn't make sense. There's a lot of questions that the family has."
Senteno's family is pleading for the driver to come forward. At the same, time they are preparing for the future of Senteno's boys, who are ages 2 and 7.
The victim's family said whatever money that is left after her burial will go towards the boys' education.
A fund has also been set up at Compean Funeral Home on Broadway Boulevard in Houston to help with expenses.

So after the long summer of fixing up my house for sale, then selling it and fixing everything the buyer and inspector deemed "wrong" with the house (I lived there 6 years and it was fine!), John and I decided to splurge on a tropical getaway this winter. We deserved it (well, really John did since he did all of the repairs, but I did pack the entire house by myself at Christmas!). We ended up choosing the weekend before my birthday and took the recommendation of our friends Mike and Teresa for the allinclusive: Secrets Maroma Beach, 30 minutes south of Cancun.
You know how some places aren't nearly as good as the website? This place was better, if that's possible. I guess it appeared just as it did in the photos, but the ambience and relaxation was even better than we had imagined.
The first morning we ordered room service (all included, 24 hours!), took a walk on the beach, then settled into a bed poolside. Not a cabana, not lounge chairs, an actual 4poster bed with this wonderful gauzy fabric overhead, blowing in the breeze. And just as John was thinking about getting up for a drink, a waiter stopped by to take our order. Well, that was it. We barely left that bed for four days.
On the third day, we did leave our poolside bed to walk on the beach. It was a beautiful day, partly sunny and 80 degrees. As we ended the walk, John looked at me and said "You know I brought your birthday present with me . . . you're not easy to buy for, but this is what I got you." And he took out a necklace with a pendant on it. The front was a map of Grizzly Stadium and the back was engraved "Where it all began." Well, I started crying right then! I was thinking John is so sweet and romantic to give me a keepsake of where we first met (at the BND's Man Show no less!). Then he pulled out another pendant and said "And this is from our first romantic vacation together, to Italy." It was a map of the Campo de Fiori area in Rome. Then he pulled out a third pendant "And this is from our first family vacation together, at Disney World." More tears! Then he pulled out a larger pendant and it looked like a coast line and I asked "Is this here?" and he gently turned it over to reveal the engraving . . . "Where I proposed." John then dropped down on one knee and asked me to marry him.
I was so surprised and happy and shaking I don't think he heard my yes (and also because his head was at my waist) but I said yes! As my new British friend Helen said (we met while watching a wedding together at the resort), "John's a sneaky little devil isn't he?!" Yes, he is.
And we lived happily ever after.
P.S. I will update you on wedding plans as they come available . . . stay tuned!

How far upriver do the tides have an impact?
This question from a viewer named Larry falls beyond my area of expertise, which is why I consulted experts at NOAA and the USGS. The impact of tides on a river depends on the distance inland from the mouth of a river (where it meets the ocean), the depth of the river, the shape of the channel and the duration and magnitude of a given cycle from high to low tide (and back again). Because of the variation in those factors from one river to the next, tides may influence river levels for just a mile to as much as several dozen miles. The Columbia river, for example, shows a great response to tidal influence. It's big and it's deep. Tidal exchanges of 10 feet can occur at Astoria...(change in river level) and even as far inland as Vancouver, exchanges of 4 feet can and do occur.

BY MARTA HEPLER DRAHOS email@example.com
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Talk, organize, mobilize, energize.
They're words former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich used over and over again in answers to the question of how to solve the country's economic and other woes.
Reich, who served in three national administrations, including as secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton, was the guest Saturday at a Traverse City Film Festival Panel discussion. The public policy expert is a best-selling author, prize-winning professor at the University of California, Berkeley, media commentator and playwright. He stars in the Film Fest documentary, "Inequality for All."
The film, which explores the causes and consequences of the widening income gap in America, earned a standing ovation at Friday's screening. It was set to be shown again Saturday.
Known for his humor, equanimity and ability to break down complex issues, Reich started by pointing out that explaining difficult issues like the economy is easier with humor.
"If you can get people to laugh, then they can hear," he said, in the panel discussion moderated by filmmaker Michael Moore and punctuated by Reich's jokes about his short stature. "We tend to like our politics in a very angry form."
He said many Americans don't understand how the division of wealth contributes to the country's current economic ills. When 400 Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million, the vast middle class doesn't have the purchasing power to keep the economy going, he said.
"The real reason the economy is not growing is because the median wage is now almost 5 percent below what it was at the start of recovery," said Reich, a Rhodes Scholar and Yale Law School grad.
He argued that more jobs at lower wages is not the answer but instead raising wages so that the middle class can buy what they produce and stimulate the economy is.
"Employers who treat their employees as assets to be developed rather than costs to be cut do better," he said, adding that the job creators are not the rich but the middle class. "Investing in people is the essence of American competitiveness because there are very few American companies that are American companies."
Raising wages is just one of about 12 to 15 "important reforms" Reich said would make the system work better. Others include exempting the first 15 percent of income from taxes for everybody and raising the marginal tax rate for the rich.
He pointed out that the marginal tax rate under President Eisenhower was the highest in history, yet the economy flourished under his administration.
But Reich said reform will only come about if people demand it, and that leadership has to come from the ground up.
"They've got to get organized and mobilized and energized and make change," he said, noting that even Franklin D. Roosevelt, who led the U.S. through the Great Depression, understood that he couldn't accomplish social change without people demanding it.
"Nothing good ever comes in Washington unless it comes from outside Washington. Otherwise the money interests run everything," Reich said.
He called the labels "Democrat" and "Republican" divisive and polarizing and urged Americans to get out of their "bubble" and find common cause in fixing the poor economy.
And he said perhaps the biggest deterrent to change is a cynical society that gives up.
When asked if he would be willing to come back to Washington to execute those reforms should former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton be elected president, he responded simply, "Yes."

...why I don't make clothes.
The fabric was extremely slippery, which caused the pattern pieces to be cut out rather inaccurately, which resulted in a lot of seam ripping and
swearing talking in an angry tone of voice. And then there are those two dark splotches which just happened to end up quite symmetrically on the front of my chest. Fortunately they look worse on the photo, and because I keep staring at them, than in "real life".

I think the dark spots could be a whole lot worse - like lower - and there are a few other dark spots throughout the front. The shirt looks great and I think the dark spots won't even be noticed when you wear it.

McALESTER —
Carter Eaton told a group of men at Friday's Holy Week Breakfast how much it means they have sacrificed their time and effort in order to help the generations following them.
Eaton, who is a McAlester High School senior, spoke to a group of 137 men and teens gathered at the First Presbyterian Church in McAlester. Representing the First United Methodist Church, Eaton spoke to the gathering as those present partook of a breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, biscuits, gravy, sausage and grits.
He began with a story about an aged recluse who lived deep in the mountains. When the man died, distant relatives came to collect his valuables.
As they entered his old shack, all they found next to a rock fireplace was an old cooking pot, a cracked table, a three-legged chair, a kerosene lamp and dilapidated cot with a threadbare bedroll on it.
The man's family picked up a few relics and began to leave, Eaton said.
As they were driving away, a friend of the recluse riding a mule flagged them down.
"Do you mind if I help myself to what's in my friend's cabin?" he asked, as they told him to go ahead, thinking what inside that shack could be worth anything?
The old friend entered the shack and walked directly over to the table, reached under it, lifted a floor board — and proceeded to remove all the gold his friend has discovered over the past 53 years.
"Friends, this is a story of hidden treasure," Eaton said.
Noting it was Good Friday, Eaton said he used to wonder what's so good about Good Friday?
"After all, this is the day our Lord and Savior was nailed to a piece of wood and left to die," he said.
"I realize now this brutal, terrible act was hidden treasure, just like the old miner's gold — but this hidden treasure's more valuable than gold," Eaton said.
"This hidden treasure is sacrifice, because the day Jesus was crucified was also the day Jesus scacrificed himself for our sins — and no miner's gold could ever be worth that sacrifice.
"You see, my life has been influenced by men in our community just like you, perhaps even by some of you," Eaton said. "Most likely, each of you, at one time or another, have sacrificed your time to have a positive influence on the lives of young people like me."
As an example, Eaton told how he had participated in a mock trial competition this year. A mock trial is a competition where high school students learn the rules of evidence and trial procedure, then prepare a case as if they were going to trial. Next, they compete in the mock trial competition with other teams from across the state.
"We advanced to the semi-finals this year, further than McAlester has ever made it," Eaton said.
He said the students weren't the ones making the sacrifice. He realized what a sacrifice had been made by men like Associate District Judge James Bland, Special District Judge Tim Mills and Assistant District Attorney Chuck Sullivan.
"They spent countless hours with us," Eaton said. "They hosted our practices at the courthouse on weekends and evenings; they learned the case along with us; helped us understand the rules of evidence." They also traveled with the group to competitions.
"They weren't getting paid," Eaton said. "They sacrificed their time for the good of others, for me."
Eaton told those present he realized many of them have sacrificed their time too.
"I know that you have probably sacrificed to help young people like me, whether it was coaching at the Boys and Girls Club, or helping with an after-school program. Maybe you were a volunteer at school ,or a church youth organization.
"That type of sacrifice is the hidden treasure I want to remind you of on this day of sacrifices," Eaton said.
"Those may seem small in comparison to the sacrifice made by our Lord. But make no mistake, those sacrifices can make a huge difference in someone's life."
During the mock trial, Eaton said he found something enjoys in addition to playing guitar.
"My dad says this is something I might actually be able to make a living at — and we all know the world needs more lawyers," he said, drawing some chuckles from the crowd.
"But seriously, if it had not been for the sacrifices of these men and the school sponsor, Mrs., Richards, I would be going to college next year without a path," he said.
Eaton said he wasn't saying he would definitely graduate from the University of Oklahoma as a Sooner lawyer.
"But I am heading to college with a clear path, thanks to the sacrifices of men like you," he said.
Eaton closed with another reference.
"So on this Good Friday, I want to thank all those men who are the hidden treasure of McAlester," Eaton said.
"Thanks for being a coach; thanks for volunteering: Thanks for taking time to visit a young person, letting them know you care."
Keep doing what you're doing, Eaton said.
"It means a great deal to those of us who are just starting out," he said. "And your sacrifice will change someone's life, just like the kernels from Jesus' words.
"It is hidden treasure, whether you know it or not."
