6 garlic cloves, peeled
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup peanut oil
1-pound green beans, ends trimmed and cut into quarters or frozen green beans
1/2 cup spiced butter or 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
One 3-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch dice
1 medium red onion coarsely chopped
2 jalapeno chilies seeds and ribs removed finely chopped
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon Berbere or chili powder
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss the garlic and sweet potatoes with the peanut oil in a roasting pan. Roast for 20 minutes or until the garlic is tender. Remove and reserve the garlic. Continue roasting the sweet potatoes until tender, about 35 minutes.
2. While the potatoes are roasting, if using fresh green beans, bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water. Add the beans to the bowling water and let blanch for 2 minutes. Drain the beans and plunge into the ice bah to stop cooking, and set the color. Drain and set aside.
3. When the sweet potatoes are done, transfer them to a large bowl, add the roasted garlic, and mash with fork to chunky consistency.
4. Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the ginger, carrots, onions, and jalapenos and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in the water and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer gently until the carrots are tender, about 10 minutes (If using frozen green beans add them with carrots.)
5. Stir in the berbere and mashed sweet potatoes, then add blanched green beans and book, stirring until heated through. Stir in the chives and salt and transfer to a serving bowl.
6. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and serve.

Become an Ambassador or Champion – Share the Passion
Ambassadors and Champions come from all walks of life. Peers respect them. They have a passion for skiing and/or snowboarding.They want to infuse in others!
Ambassadors and Champions do more than motivate newcomers to take ski or snowboard lessons from professional instructors.They serve as role models by sharing information about why they love snow sports, how they got involved and why it is important to learn from trained professionals.
They offer useful tips that help newcomers have a positive first-time snow experience. They use their own unique ways to spread the word about why snow sports are fun, a chance to try something new, involve great exercise, and provide an excellent opportunity to spend time with friends or family members.
We Want to Applaud You – AND You Can Win Prizes via the Bring a Friend Challenge!
Anyone passionate about skiing or snowboarding who qualifies can sign up. Those who officially apply will be listed on the skiandsnowboardmonth.org Web site along with a photo if provided.
Top Three Ambassadors and Champions
At the end of the season three exemplary Ambassadors and three Champions will receive state-of-the-art jackets from The North Face plus special recognition from the snow sports industry via trade media and the national industry conference.They will get their own page on the skiandsnowboardmonth.org Web site.
Ambassador and Champion of the Year
One outstanding role model in each category will be named Ambassador and Champion of the Year. Each will receive a season pass at a selected venue for the 2014-15 winter……….
AND…… a pair of skis from HEAD Wintersports or a snowboard from one of our sponsors.
The top Ambassador will win a four-day trip for two – from Ski Utah – to the 2002 Winter Olympics host Salt Lake City and its nearby resorts Park City Mountain Resort, the Canyons and Deer Valley including lodging, lift tickets, lessons and air travel from a major airport (for the 2014-15 season). Trip details are posted at bringafriend.org.

BREVARD - When Kathy Mardirosian began planning her arts academy in Cocoa, others told her she was in the wrong place.
"People said, 'It's crazy,'" she said. "My whole reason for going to Cocoa was that no one else was serving it with dance. Most kids can't afford it and don't have anyone to take them. I felt it was where we needed to be."
The first students began studying at the Renaissance Academy of the Performing Arts and Dance in February.
Ms. Mardirosian has formed partnerships in the community, including the Cocoa Community Performing Arts Initiative, to provide scholarships to help students attend classes.
"By harnessing a community effort, we can make it happen for these kids," she said. "Donations from businesses and individuals who would like to sponsor students go to a specific fund, administered by the First United Methodist Church of Cocoa."
Applicants for the scholarships must be between ages 11-21, interested in the performing arts and able to meet at least three hours per week for mentoring, training and community service. Those younger than 18 must also demonstrate regular school attendance.
Gene Yotka is pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Cocoa. The church has funded 10 scholarships at the Renaissance Arts Academy.
"We were blessed with a grant and decided to use it for outreach," he said. "We decided we would sponsor children with a need, who would like to take dance or performing arts. We would pay for classes and equipment, like ballet shoes."
The pastor and his wife Mary Ann lead the mentoring program. The students meet as a group once a week.
"We talk about integrity, character, good citizenship and how to be a friend," he said. "We use Scripture to discuss how to grow into good, solid people."
For the community service, the young people work in the food pantry or thrift shop at First United or at their own churches.
"It's a way of thanking the church and saying that we understand how important service is," Ms. Mardirosian said. "It also helps them understand the value of what they're getting."
The scholarship program came around at a time when the church was seeking greater involvement in the community.
"We hired a director of outreach ministries, Cassandra Black," Pastor Gene said. "We want to make our church relevant. This program helped three ways: the body, through dance and theater; and the mind and spirit, through mentoring and service."
Ms. Mardirosian has already noticed changes in the girls taking classes.
"The girls have started to bond in class and between classes," she said. "They practice steps and choreography and laugh and have a good time. Dance helps improve self-confidence in young women. It's about how you carry yourself and what your body language says about yourself. It makes a big difference."
Ms. Mardirosian, who often picks up some students and drives them home after classes, mentioned one student in particular.
"She didn't have a lot going on in her life that was positive," Ms. Mardirosian said. "She was failing in school. One day, she watched a teacher and a more advanced modern dance student. She turned to me and said, 'That's what I want to do.'"
"Since then, there's been a complete turnaround. She's graduated, and she wants a ballet barre (a stationary ballet handrail) in her house. She's even open to college. It's amazing how motivating the arts can be, to work toward goal-setting, whether you want to be a performer or not. That's what motivates me."
Renaissance Academy of the Performing Arts and Dance is located at 801 Dixon Blvd., Cocoa. For more information, visit the website at www.myrenarts.com or call (321) 536-0908.

Michigan ASSE Chapters Sign Alliance With State OSHA
|November 30, 2012 - The American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) Greater Detroit Chapter, Lansing Chapter, and West Michigan Chapter, and the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) renewed their formal alliance today to continue to provide their collected occupational safety, health and environmental expertise and knowledge in all industries to help protect the safety and health of Michigan workers. The MIOSHA program is part of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA)."We are pleased to reaffirm our commitment with ASSE's three Michigan Chapters to protect the safety and health of o
ur working men and women," said MIOSHA Director Martha Yoder. "This alliance has fostered a collaborative relationship to share best practices and help create safer and healthier workplaces throughout Michigan."
The Alliance builds upon the working relationship between MIOSHA and the ASSE chapters to develop and disseminate information that helps protect the safety and health of Michigan workers through outreach and communication, as well as influence employers and management to ensure that safety is viewed as a priority in the workplace.
"Our ASSE members work around the clock to make sure that those who go to their job each day or night leave work injury and illness free to return home safely to their families," said ASSE Greater Detroit Chapter President Becca Drzewiecki, MS, ARM. "When you have safe and healthy employees, not only does company morale stay positive, but so too does production, as well as a company's positive reputation while health care and workers compensation costs often decline. Safety is a winning proposition."
Signing the alliance were: ASSE Greater Detroit Chapter President Rebecca Drzewiecki, ASSE Lansing Chapter President Joel Hoffman, ASSE West Michigan Chapter President Jamie Bauer, MIOSHA Director Martha Yoder, MIOSHA Deputy Director Bart Pickelman, and Consultation Education and Training (CET) Division Safety and Health Manager Sherry Scott.
Alliances enable organizations committed to workplace safety and health to collaborate with MIOSHA to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses. The key goals of this alliance include:
Enhance communication and cooperation between Chapter members and MIOSHA resulting in improved program delivery and understanding.
"The MIOSHA program is dedicated to working with employers, both public and private sector – to find innovative ways to enhance workplace safety and health," said Yoder. "Through alliances, MIOSHA can offer employers a voluntary, cooperative relationship to eliminate serious hazards and achieve a high level of safety and health."
The ASSE Michigan chapters have more than 700 occupational safety, health and environmental members who work day in and day out identifying hazards and implementing safety advances in all industries and at all workplaces, thereby reducing workplace fatalities, injuries and illnesses across the state.
Chartered in 1955, the Greater Detroit Chapter (http://greaterdetroit.asse.org/index.php) has actively supported the ASSE mission of protecting people, property and environment. It is the recipient of several top ASSE global awards and provides leadership and safety conferences as well as providing ongoing educational programs for its members and communities statewide. Its large student chapter is located at Oakland University.
The ASSE Lansing Chapter (http://www.asselansing.org) was chartered in 1947 and covers a wide territory in Michigan. The chapter holds technical meetings throughout the year, which are open to anyone who is interested in improving the safety of their workplace. They also plan and implement community programs aimed at enhancing and increasing awareness of workplace safety.
The ASSE West Michigan Chapter was organized in July 1952 and became a charter member in October 1953. Throughout their nearly 60 years, they have seen many changes in personnel, local strategies and goals. However, the overall vision and desire to decrease injuries, improve worksite conditions, preserve and protect property in the communities they live in has remained a steadfast commitment to the members of this chapter.
Founded in 1911, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the oldest global professional safety society. Its more than 34,000 occupational safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professional members are committed to protecting people, property and the environment. For more information go to www.asse.org.
There are many benefits to participating in an alliance with MIOSHA. Through this program, organizations will:
Build trusting, cooperative relationships;

Another night alone, Lord.
She's like a dream
but, she's not, she's real
living in her world and me in mine.
I never ever thought she'd come back
as a friend let alone with true love for me.
Supposed to rain tonight,
well it can't match my tears,
no, the rain drops outside
won't drown out the ones inside my heart.
My need for you to be here
is sometimes matched by a fear
that the last time you were here
will one day be the last time
and I cry and pray for that to not be true
for I don't want to go through this life without you.
Please my Lady let me be your Prince by day
and your Knight by night
for as I rescue you, you are also saving me
from seeing the world with tear filled eyes
and wandering around with a wounded heart.
Grab my hand, pull me close my love
and we'll share forever hugs
while living the rest of our lives
just like we've always dreamed we would.

I try to keep an eye for out things I think you guys might be interested in. I have two items for you today:
March 23rd, 2010
2:18 pm
Sending cookies help the troops morale, Nunsman. I have had 2 sons-in-law in the war and one is on his way back for a 2nd tour, this time to Iraq. They love the messages from the states. Last time I looked Girl Scouts didn't have that authority to send the troops home but I believe they do have the authority to mail cookies. Great idea Girl Scouts, heading to your link now.
March 23rd, 2010
3:04 pm
Great idea Theresa..I will go on the link and check it out..
@A. Nusman..Didn't read the part where she said it helps the troops..Yes, I would think that getting shot at or blown up would be good for morale, but something good from home sounds ot be like it would be good also..
March 23rd, 2010
3:06 pm
Oops..Should say that NOT getting shot at or blown up would be good for morale..
March 23rd, 2010
3:29 pm
Boy Scouts have a similar program with their popcorn. I figure it's an easy way to support my son, his Troop and our men & women serving overseas. I know they appreciate any little piece of 'home' they can get.
March 23rd, 2010
3:44 pm
Theresa, how is your eye?
March 23rd, 2010
4:01 pm
@A.Nusman….you know, sometimes when my wife is shoe shopping, she'll show me two pair of shoes that she can't decide between and ask me which she should buy…to which I usually tell her "get them both" (especially when one pair is 4″ stilettos, but I digress)… the point I'm trying to make is that sending cookies AND getting involved to get the troops home are NOT mutually exclusive of one another. Quite the opposite, both are admirable and noble. You can do them both and still be true to your convictions.
March 23rd, 2010
4:04 pm
@A.Nusman..How well is that going in getting them sent home?
@Tiger..You go shopping with your wife? Then you tell her that she can buy two pairs shoes? More and more, you become a man after my own heart..Cooking and shopping..Yummy
March 23rd, 2010
4:07 pm
@Becky…the rule for us is that if I have to go shoe shopping, at least one pair has to be one that I REALLY like (read very high heels)…..so when she's not feeling like getting a pair of CFM pumps….I'm off the shopping hook! ;-)
March 23rd, 2010
4:52 pm
@A.Nusman..I wasn't being flippant, I was serious..I do understand it, I just am not sure that sending an email every day is going to allow them to come home..So, if I sounded snotty, I apologize, that was not my intention..
@Tiger..Understand your logic perfectly..I have several pairs of heels that the hubby picked out for me..
March 23rd, 2010
4:54 pm
I'm sorry but I just have to say something to Nusman. Sure, it would be nice to have the troops home, but we will always have troops deployed SOMEWHERE. I have 2 brothers in the military. One just came home from Iraq and the other is getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan. The one who was in Iraq actually wanted to be there, he has always wanted to serve his country. While he didn't enjoy being away from his new wife and yes, he was homesick, he was filled with pride doing what he has always wanted to do. So get off your liberal high horse and send a solider a bit of home.
March 23rd, 2010
5:16 pm
Oh this is too funny. If Theresa ran a story about PBJ sandwiches…someone would be mad.
I was in Minnesota a few weeks ago and spoke to nearly 400 teachers. The reviews were grand but one young man apparently had no fun at all and he let me know on it on his evaluation slip.
Sorry T but we both know you cannot please everyone!
@ A Nusman, while I cannot fathom the sacrifices being made by service personnel, on my behalf, and their families too…I am thankful I live in a free country but wonder how long things will continue this way based on what has happened in the past few days. My husband and father in law both served in the military. I understand the pride of a military family.
I watched a casket come out of a plane I flew on, last week, and the sergeant as he received it. My eyes teared and I said a prayer for the family who would meet their loved one this way.
War is never a good thing and those who think they can solve the world's problems with a few quick ideas always intrigue me. I am aware that there are things out there that I cannot fathom. I also appreciate being able to sleep safely each night and pursue interests I desire.
March 23rd, 2010
5:22 pm
@ A. Nusman…you have got about as much of a chance of stopping the war ( with your e-mails) as your do closing down Disneyworld…maybe you should work on that in your spare time.
March 23rd, 2010
5:29 pm
@Becky…yep shopping for jeans with the wife, i'm out…..she says "I saw these really cool sky high heels at DSW" and I can't get her in the car fast enough!
March 23rd, 2010
5:31 pm
T…I just ordered 10 boxes of cookies….hope it will brighten someone's day!
March 23rd, 2010
5:34 pm
It's really refreshing to see a lot of responses saying the best way we can help our brave soldiers is not with cookies, but with bringing them home. I know you mean well Theresa, but when our men and women are in harm's way 24/7, I don't see how cookies will help. They need to get out of Afghanistan and Iraq and come home.
March 23rd, 2010
5:45 pm
@A….I think the thing you've overlooked is that nowhere in Theresa's blog did she mention expressly or implicitly that the purpose of the cookies was to help bring them home. I read it four times and it quite simply never said "help our troops come home with cookies". It quite simply said there was a push to donate cookies to our overseas troops….nothing more, nothing less.
March 23rd, 2010
5:59 pm
Tiger, I didn't say the cookies would bring troops home. I'm saying the bigger issue is bringing our brave soldiers home. I'm all for taking care of our soldiers while they are away, and if cookies brighten their day, then so be it. But my main point was that several other posters had expressed the feeling that bringing them home is more important than sending them cookies, and I agree with that.
March 23rd, 2010
6:18 pm
@A….fair enough…I got confused with the statement "I know you mean well…but I don't see how cookies will help".
No offense intended if any was taken.
March 23rd, 2010
7:26 pm
My husband is deployed in Afghanistan and he would rather stay deployed and "get the job done" then be returned home so others can feel better. The job is not done and wont be done until the troops get the support and equipment and have time to train and retrain replacements.
I will send cookies, I went to Outback two weeks ago because they advertised that by ordering specific menue items they can support the troops. Last fall Outback and macaroni grill delivered and cooked the best meal for my husband and all the men and women serving at the camp last fall. I will support those who support the troops, I will pray for my husbands safe return and pray for the others serving and their families. The cookies won't make up for the lack of privacy, being away from family and friends, feeling grimy with the dust/sand/dirt that never seems to come clean, food that is so bland because it has to feed troops from several nationalities. But the cookies along with the dinner by Outback reminds him of home and why he is there.
March 23rd, 2010
7:29 pm
LM…a big thanks to you and your husband…you are in my prayers today.
March 23rd, 2010
8:38 pm
No problem, Tiger. And actually I'm all for sending books, DVDs and other diversions to the troops. But I still maintain that the best thing we can do for them is to bring them home and until then just hope for their safety.
March 23rd, 2010
11:14 pm
Nutsman- be quiet! Making Girl Scout Cookies a political thing, please!! There is always someone willing to ruin a good thing. I have volunteered with troop support organizations and they absolutely love getting the cookies. Buy them and send them with love and support!
March 24th, 2010

…trying to get this Obamacare thingy repealed immediately….
March 24th, 2010
7:33 am
@ and I am sending mails….can I join you? Where do we send?
March 24th, 2010
8:19 am
On the Obamacare thing – our Attorney General does not want to file with the other states. Send him emails. letters and faxes too.
On the cookie thing – lighten up and just send our troops a little cookie support. Disagree with the war all you want but why can't you send our troops something special to eat. It's just like donating "a cup of Joe for a Joe" – what's the big deal with helping someone.
March 24th, 2010
8:37 am
I do think that a lot of people are missing the point as LM said..Some of the men and women that are in Irag and Afghanistan are there because it's their job and that want to do the best that they can..I have a coworker whose husband (police officer) is over there and this is his 5th time over there..He goes because he's dedicated to his job that much..Yes, I would love nothing better than for all of our troops to come home, but as BShepCarlin said, there is always going to be a war somewhere..
@MJG..Like you my family has always been in the military, but I have never been witness to seeing a casket come off of a plane..Heck, I tear up seeing the troops walking around the airport..
Thanks LM, to you and your husband..Actually, thanks to all of our troops..Y'all do something that only y'all can do best..
March 24th, 2010
8:37 am
…does not want to file with the other states – ol Thurbert, after all, is one of Obama's guys – and, isn't he running for governor? This attitude will not win him many additional votes, but it will win with the voters to whom he panders…
March 24th, 2010
8:47 am
@ Becky…my blood family had little interest in the military. When I married my husband and became a Navy wife…. l learned a lot. We all make judgment calls about things we know nothing about. Me too.
I observed the flooding in Fargo ND, first hand last week. Previously, I simply read things in the paper while sitting in a comfortable chair in my family room…with little regard to the enormity of the situation.
I also spent a weekend last March in Minnesota, where it was 27 below….never imagined that from my backyard here in GA.
I meet people all the time who blast off about things without actually knowing what is going on.
I have learned more traveling to 49 states than I ever learned in school. I am blessed to see and hear more things than many and realize that there are folks all across our country who have opinions that are just that: opinions.
I find that I learn things every week. Being in the midst of military personnel ( in various locations) tends to give me a glimpse of the pride and loyalty these folks have for our country. Others are just content to take free lunch for their kids….it is heartbreaking and we have mentioned this before.
March 24th, 2010
9:18 am
How on earth did the health care bill get dragged in here? You want to blog about that, go over to Bookman or Wooten for heavan's sake. Having said that, I suppose you want your insurance companies to continue dropping you when you get sick or turm you away for pre-existing conditions. Personally, I don't but good luck to those of you who do.
On topic…girl scout cookies for the troops are awesome and disney cruise, couldn't drag me on one.

Thanks all for the prayers and support. I have been very lucky with the ability to have easy contact with my husband, unlike many who have to pay to get internet just to have email or pay for a international phone, my husband has secret (maybe not with me blabbling) skills which allow me to stay in contact.
Last week I had my shoulder replaced, I was able to give my cell phone to a friend waiting at the hospital and she was able to call and give him updates. He has been able to stay involved with me daily as I recover. Earlier this month my daughter had a 20 mm kidney stone, and I was able to keep him in the loop especially when she had complications following lipotrispy.
We talk a lot about support for the troops and I felt I was doing things until I received an email from a friend of a friend. I knew there are working dogs overthere, and knew they were in danger everyday, some just from training in the heat. But it was not until I heard the vet talk about sending the dog home with treats and toys to help it de-stress after an attack, the dog was not wounder that I realized they need support. People send all sorts of things to support the two legged troop. But the 4 legged troops need our support also.

@ tiger…'tis true. Many here do not want to know this but I feel it lends a bit of depth to some of my thoughts. Guess I have not mentioned it enough….:0 I hear the screams now. I have also been to Mexico and Canada but not overseas.
Yesterday, I was waiting in line to check out at store. The lady near the checker ( who was supposed to be working) was on the store phone and blabbing all sorts of personal things very loudly. The lady in front of me said, "Well that is not very professional is it? People are so stupid sometimes." I mentioned that, "YES people are stupid from coast to coast….I have met just a few of them." I told her what I do. She replied, "Oh wow…I have not been out of the south and though it was just a southern thing…" HAHA….yes, a few ( southern) posters on this blog could fall into that category ( cannot even come up with their own blog name) but there are others, like you and Wayne and many others here, who can attest that ignorant people live all over the place. Fortunately, there are sensible people out there too and it sometimes balances it out. I love to talk to folks everywhere…you can really learn a lot.
I spoke with a Canadian in Minneapolis ( on Sunday) and we spatted about health care. I told him that I am all for helping folks…just tired of helping those who are content to sit home and not do a thing for themselves. I am talking about those who have never had a job nor any skills to acquire one. I mentioned some of the things I see hear and he was astonished. We shook hands and I wished him well….thanked him for the chat.

Wow -A. Nusman, so in your mind if the troops are going to be there -then they should be as miserable as possible, huh? I'm sure they appreciate your support! I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with getting them home as soon as possible, but while they're there -I think it's nice to send them things that give them a lift.
March 24th, 2010
12:35 pm
@ A. Nusman, so the troops shouldn't be in Afghanistan or Iraq, but I should be in hell because you cannot clearly state what you mean without posting 5 or 6 times. Interesting. Perhaps the sole reason they are NOT home is that all of your campaigning to Congress and the government hasn't been clear to them either.
No, I don't think Girl Scout Cookies will bring them home, and I would love to see them home. As far as fighting a war, this country has a long, deadly history of sending our troops places where they're not fighting wars,yet they're getting killed. Still, there's nothing wrong with sending care packages to try to give them a little pleasure, and someone simply trying to inform others about this option isn't necessarily happy that they're in harm's way. Many of us do quite a bit to try and get them out of Iraq and Afghanistan, we just happen to understand that until they are home, little things mean a lot.

OH, FOR GOD'S SAKE — IT'S A FREAKIN' COOKIE! Send the guys some cookies, already, and stop grousing that they are there in the first place.
The blog wasn't about poltiical activism — it was about showing support and appreciation to those men who have NO control over where the military sends them. They are there, a long way from home, family, and little Girl Scouts banging on their doors selling cookies, but you know — they would REALLY LIKE A COOKIE. So A. Nusman, go write your emails — they won't do any good, goodness knows 65% of Americans who didn't want national health insurance sure didn't get their wishes, either — and tell me how that useless email is going to make some 19 year old stuck in Baghdad feel better than getting a box of Trefoils or Samoas.
Do what you can with what you have. I can send cookies. Done deal.
March 24th, 2010
12:48 pm
And send them some Pop Tarts, Granola Bars, dried fruit, nuts, crossword puzzles, magazines, chapstick, paperbacks, wet wipes and heavy-duty lotion while you're at it!

@JATL: Haha, true, that!

Flavored mixes to add to bottle water are a huge hit.
Things that can melt (chocolate bars) don't work well.
Where my husband is stationed they have a box of things families and friends have sent that they don't need so they toss it in the communal box in case someone else might need it. I sent lots of different flavored drink mixes knowing my husband would not like them all.
March 24th, 2010
5:20 pm
Now we are all on the same page except for . Nusman. Send care pkgs to the troops. What's wrong with them receiving some support from home. No one is asking you to support the wars, we are asking you to support the men and women who are sacrificing so much to receive so little, A BOX COOKIES. GEEEEEEZZZZZZZ
March 24th, 2010
7:51 pm
Uh…I have been reading these posts and I can't see where a nusman said NOT to send cookies. They said not to stop at sending cookies to support the troops.

The United Nations is to bring together the world's national mapping agencies and other geospatial organisations to develop a streamlined and integrated framework that would support global geospatial information management.
"There is general agreement of an urgent need for an inter-government consultative mechanism that can play a leadership role in setting the agenda for the development of global geospatial information, and to promote its use to address key global challenges; to liaise and coordinate among member states, and between member states and international organisations," a UN statement said.
According to Hiroshi Murakami [pictured], Co-chair of the second preparatory meeting on Global Geospatial Information Management (GGIM), while there are various international organisations that have been working on geospatial information, the UN feels that there is a need for an official mechanism that would link the outcomes of such organisations to specific policy decisions and actions of member states.
The purpose of the GGIM would be to address the growing number of global issues such as: climate change; natural disasters; disease pandemics; population and displacement; and, other cross-border problems that no single nation or region can self-sufficiently deal with.
The UN would provide the member states with an ideal venue for global policy development on geospatial information management with much attention and insights from key policy makers and experts from other member states and international organisations.
The GGIM would serve as an apex entity of the global geospatial information community that would link all regional cartographic conferences together.
As an apex entity, it would tackle critical issues concerning principles, policies, methods, and mechanisms for standardisation for rapidly evolving technologies and interoperability.
In addition, it would enable policy makers to develop effective capacity building strategies for the effective management of geospatial information, especially for developing countries.
A third preparatory meeting of the proposed UN committee on GGIM will be held on the first week of April this year to discuss about its future plans and initiatives.

Sellout Risk: Extremely High
The Forum Kicker Snowboard Boots are very intense looking boots, almost as if Doc Martin's made snowboard boots. These boots are super lightweight, so light that you will think you are wearing a regular pair of shoes instead of snowboarding boots. These boots are extremely well padded, so your feel will be very comfortable in these boots. Their popularity can be seen by their sell out risk, which is extremely high, so buy a pair quick before they are all gone.
I have owned these boots for two years now and have been pretty satisfied with them. When I first purchased them they were extremely difficult to put on but after a couple of days of breaking them in they felt nice and snug. They are easy to use and built strong. The internal liner laces keep your liner strapped down to the back of the boot and I can't complain about any heel lift. Very responsive and keep your feet warm in any conditions. Went snowboarding in -20�F one time and my feet stayed nice and toasty. Would recommend getting a half size bigger for a whole day of comfort as my feet started to really hurt after 3/4 day of riding. But for $35 I guess it was worth it.

As a high school student, you hear a lot about how fun and exciting college will be. No curfew! Tons of friends! All that freedom!
And all that studying.
No doubt about it, college is cooler than high school. It's also a lot harder. College is work. It takes effort, discipline and sacrifice. Getting everything done and keeping those grades up may mean a few late nights and an occasional early morning. But take it from two guys who've been there, done that: It's well worth the effort. So as you prepare for your first year, here's how to get started—and get started right.
College should be fun, it really should. Hey, we had lots of fun! But, it also takes getting your priorities straight. And your top priority is class work.
Think of it as having a 40-hour-a-week job. You need to split those 40 hours between time in class and time completing assignments. When you've put in those 40 hours, then it's time to play and have fun. An honest employee wouldn't think of sneaking out early and cheating their boss. It's kind of like that for you, too. Only as a college student, you're both "boss" and "employee." So don't cheat yourself!
Now to get real practical: Let's say you just finished your 1:00 class and don't have another one until 4:00. This is not the time to take a nap or play Ultimate Frisbee—especially if there are assignments to complete.
But skipping that Ultimate Frisbee game is only half the battle. You can still waste your study time if you don't find the right place to study. Loud dorms with a football flying down the hall (and whacking your door every 10 minutes) is not ideal. OK, it's the last place you'd want to study, right? You need to find a place that's quiet—and that's away from your bed. Naps can be major distractions and time wasters.
Student lounges might work, but they still can be pretty noisy. A quiet study desk in the library? Now that's a place where you can get some real work done!
During my junior year, I (Chris) finally realized that serious studying did make a lot of sense. (Yes, sometimes I'm a rather slow learner.) So I found a little secluded area in the library's rare books collection. It may seem strange, but studying around all those old classics was kind of inspiring. I guess that musty smell just stimulated my brain cells. Seriously, I could concentrate in the quietness, avoid distractions from other students, and get down to business.
A friend of mine studied in an empty Sunday school room at a nearby church. The building was open all day and she got permission to use the room. On her way to her "study room," she would stop by the sanctuary first to pray about her academic life.
Getting serious early on about your studies will help you avoid a lot of frustration, stress and regret in the long run. As one serious college senior told us: "Get eight hours of sleep a night, do all your homework, do the work of a student nine to five, and you'll most likely get straight A's." OK, so maybe you won't get all A's. But you will have a better chance of learning what you need to learn if you commit yourself to disciplined study times.
As you prepare for your first year of college classes, it's a good idea to get answers to four basic questions:
1) What are you required to take? Most colleges have some form of core curriculum you're required to take before graduation. For a list of these required classes, consult the college's course catalog. Then plan to get those requirements out of the way as quickly as possible. We know, you may not be interested in taking one more English class. Or maybe the thought of another math class makes you a bit ill. But get those courses out of the way so you can move on to stuff you're really excited about. You'd be surprised how many college seniors end up in lower-level language classes because they didn't take them early on.
2) What classes would you like to take? The options may be limited for a first-semester freshman, but you probably will have a few choices available to you. Skim the course catalog just to see what catches your eye. This is the fun part of college studies. Even the various options for PE classes can be a wonderful break from the normal academic routine. Music, art and photography are also popular classes to explore. Not every course is available each semester, but it doesn't hurt to make a wish list for upcoming semesters. For specifics on what you can or can't take during your first year, talk to one of the college's admissions counselors or academic advisers.
3) Should you go for the "easy A" ? The easy answer: no. First of all, if you're taking a class just so you can get a good grade without any work, your attitude is all wrong. Second, so-called "easy A's" almost always require more work than you expect, and rarely get you an A—or at least an easy A.
4) Should you load up on honors courses and/or take as many credit hours as you possibly can? Not a good idea. Many well-intentioned freshmen start their first semester full of motivation—only to learn the hard way that six honors classes is way too much.
Here's a basic rule of thumb: Take no more than 15 credit hours—usually five classes—and avoid schedules where every class requires huge loads of reading and writing. If you overload your schedule, you are asking for major burnout before Christmas break. For further advice specific to your chosen college, talk to an admissions counselor or an academic adviser.
Let's say your freshman year starts and you still find yourself in a class that's not working out. First, talk to the prof. Get his or her counsel on the situation. If the class still seems like the wrong place for you, talk to your academic adviser. Still not satisfied? Fear not. Most schools offer a drop/add period that allows you to, well, drop or add a class. While it's not a good idea to rely too heavily on this option, it can be a great way out of a jam early on.
Professors are people you need to get to know—and not just in the classroom. This is not about buttering up the grade-giver or trying to become "professor's pet." It's about building a relationship that will add to your overall college experience.
Most colleges require professors to hold office hours where they are available to students. Take advantage of these hours. Ask follow-up questions about the last lecture; find out what suggestions they have for getting all you can from the course.
If they're open to talking further, try to meet your prof for coffee or hot chocolate (if you're like John). In fact, many profs hang out at the student snack shop or student union just so they can have informal contact with students. Take advantage of these kinds of opportunities. Along with helping you adjust to academic life, professors can also give great future references for future jobs, seminaries or graduate schools.
During my first two years of college, I (Chris) changed my major four times. After losing faith in my ability to be major-committed, I latched on to the wonderful liberty of claiming "Undecided" as my temporary answer. No longer struggling with the need to have a major, I relaxed a little and enjoyed college a whole lot more.
The point: It's just fine (and good for your sanity) to decide to be undecided. In other words, don't make the formal decision before it needs to be made. At most colleges, students don't have to officially declare their major until the end of their sophomore year. This means there's some time to relax and think about it.
And as you think, here's a question worth asking: "What am I good at?" You're undoubtedly good at certain subjects and not so good at others. Let your gifts and abilities direct you as you look for a major and future career.
A second important question to think about: "What do I enjoy?" During my own time of "major uncertainty," I (Chris) discovered I enjoyed American history classes. That was it: History. I'd found a course of study I could happily sink my teeth into—and a major I could finally declare!
God doesn't call us into studies or future professions we hate. Instead, he has a way of giving us a love for things we are good at and leading us to a career that matches that passion. A good rule of thumb: When your gifts and abilities coincide with your likes and interests, you've pretty much discovered what subject to major in.
It's essential to remember that one career isn't more God-honoring than another. Our godliness isn't determined so much by what we do, but by how we go about doing it. God needs witnesses and people of integrity in all areas of life. If he's given you a passion and skills for certain subject areas, then why not go for it?
Navigating through the pushing and pulling currents of academic life is a challenge. We can be tossed around by all the decisions we face in using our time, and in choosing classes, professors, majors and career directions. They all call for our attention, and many times we simply have to learn as we go. But it's an exciting journey and an adventure that requires our best efforts. So push your boat in the stream, watch out for the rocks and rapids, and enjoy the ride.

Diabetes Health Center
Diabetes Overview
What are the types of diabetes? continued...
Type 2 diabetes is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents. About 3,700 people under the age of 20 were diagnosed with diabetes based on 2002-2003 data.
When type 2 diabetes is diagnosed, the pancreas is usually producing enough insulin, but for unknown reasons, the body cannot use the insulin effectively, a condition called insulin resistance. After several years, insulin production decreases. The result is the same as for type 1 diabetes -- glucose builds up in the blood and the body cannot make efficient use of its main source of fuel.
The symptoms of type 2 diabetes develop gradually. Their onset is not as sudden as in type 1 diabetes. Symptoms may include fatigue or nausea, frequent urination, unusual thirst, weight loss, blurred vision, frequent infections, and slow healing of wounds or sores. Some people have no symptoms.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes develops only during pregnancy. Like type 2 diabetes, it occurs more often in African Americans, American Indians, Hispanic Americans, and among women with a family history of diabetes. Women who have had gestational diabetes have a 20 to 50 percent chance of developing type 2 diabetes within 5 to 10 years.
What are the tests for diagnosing diabetes?
The fasting plasma glucose test is the preferred test for diagnosing type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It is most reliable when done in the morning. However, a diagnosis of diabetes can be made after positive results on any one of three tests, with confirmation from a second positive test on a different day:
- A random (taken any time of day) plasma glucose value of 200 mg/dL or more, along with the presence of diabetes symptoms.
- A plasma glucose value of 126 mg/dL or more after a person has fasted for 8 hours.
- An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) plasma glucose value of 200 mg/dL or more in a blood sample taken 2 hours after a person has consumed a drink containing 75 grams of glucose dissolved in water. This test, taken in a laboratory or the doctor's office, measures plasma glucose at timed intervals over a 3-hour period.
Gestational diabetes is diagnosed based on plasma glucose values measured during the OGTT. Glucose levels are normally lower during pregnancy, so the threshold values for diagnosis of diabetes in pregnancy are lower. If a woman has two plasma glucose values meeting or exceeding any of the following numbers, she has gestational diabetes: a fasting plasma glucose level of 95 mg/dL, a 1-hour level of 180 mg/dL, a 2-hour level of 155 mg/dL, or a 3-hour level of 140 mg/dL.
What are the other forms of impaired glucose metabolism (also called pre-diabetes)?
People with pre-diabetes, a state between "normal" and "diabetes," are at risk for developing diabetes, heart attacks, and strokes. However, studies suggest that weight loss and increased physical activity can prevent or delay diabetes, as weight loss and physical activity make the body more sensitive to insulin. There are two forms of pre-diabetes.

Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

I have never met a more direct, knowledgable, caring, concerned, honest, doctor before or after Dr. Walters. She was my doctor for many years until I moved from Gwinnett to Paulding County. We would discuss my adopting because of infertility issues, but I didn't want to hear it....I felt with technology today, "she could get me pregnant". She had a heart to heart with me and now my husband, that caused me to consider it. It's now 2014, and I'm proud to say that we are the proud parents of 8.......yes 8 (5 boys and 3 girls) beautiful children. I never thought I would be here, and would like to share in the excitement with Dr. Jackie. "Thank you " for being the best OBGYN I have ever had, for being patient with me when I was being stubborn and for stepping out of your doctors coat and helping convince me to adopt. Because of you, I am a proud mother and wife. Now that you are considering adoption, I would love to help you in answering questions from a first hand experience. Thank you!!

Dr Walters delivered 3 of my children, and she is wonderful. When I had my 4th I lived too far away to use her services again. I would recomend her to anyone and have numerous times. She knows what she is doing, she is funny and very caring.

Dr Walters is a very caring Physician. She delivered both my kids after walking me through fertility treatment. She talks to you, not down to you or at you as some Drs tend to do. She listens to your concerns and peppers her advice with a bit of humor.

Her staff was extremely unfriendly especially when I called to ask if pain during pregnancy..they acted as if I were an idiot and was wasting their time. When I went into labor the entire staff was out of state at a wedding and I was refered to a midwife I had never met. I was extremely disappointed with the entire experience.

Women's Under Armour PIP One Woman Army Long Sleeve Crew Shirt
There's power in pink! Celebrating women who use sports, fitness, and an active lifestyle in their fight against breast cancer, the Power In Pink collection helps Under Armour in their goal to donate a minimum of $500,000 to national breast cancer charities and medical centers.
Built to help you go out and push further, there's the signature Moisture Transport System, Anti-Microbial technology, and featherlight stretch fabric so you can do what you need without worry of unwanted moisture, funky smells, or restriction of motion. They didn't forget about comfort either; the natural cotton is soft to the touch yet durable enough for runs, jumps, and lunges. While you're out there battling the elements or your workout, the "ONE WOMAN ARMY" gradient graphic on the front lets those around you know you're fighting the good fight and hopefully inspire them to do the same.

BLUE ASH, Ohio (AP) -- Rick Santorum sees an America in need of more than economic recovery.
Campaigning across Ohio this weekend, the former Republican senator is calling for fewer children born out of wedlock and fewer single-parent families. He says that communities across Ohio and elsewhere where mothers raise children have less freedom than communities where two-parent families are the norm.
"You go to the neighborhoods in Cincinnati where there are no dads, where the churches have bailed out, where the community organizations don't exist, and what do you find? Government everywhere. Do you find freedom?" he asked voters in this Cincinnati suburb Saturday. "Not even the churches want to locate there because of the problems that are confronted with a society that has allowed the family to break down, morality and freedom to break down."
The comments underscore the former Pennsylvania senator's commitment to social issues, which helped define his 16-year congressional career and distinguish his candidacy from that of rival Mitt Romney. Despite a pro-choice past, Romney is now just as socially conservative as his opponent on paper, but the former Massachusetts governor is almost singularly focused on the economy while campaigning.
By contrast, Santorum's views on morality sometimes overshadow his prescriptions for the nation's economy. And some Republicans -- even among the hundreds waving signs at Santorum's Blue Ash rally Saturday morning -- fear he's gone too far.
"He needs to start talking more about the economy and get off the social issues, because I don't think that's what's going to make him president. The economy is going to make him president," said Joan Conradi, a 50-year-old nurse from nearby Mount Healthy, who was holding a "Santorum for President" sign.
Santorum did discuss his plans to improve the nation's manufacturing sector, highlighting his "Made in America" plan that would reduce corporate income taxes on manufacturing from 35 percent to zero. But he returned repeatedly to social issues during the half hour speech, as he did the night before during a speech outside Cleveland.
"We can cut government; we can grow the economy. But unless the basic building blocks of our society are strong, then we will not be able to sustain it," Santorum said.
He campaigned Saturday alongside Tony Perkins, president of the Washington-based Family Research Council, who offered Santorum an indirect endorsement.
"I have seen Rick, who I've worked with in Washington for a number of years, never back away from defending the American family," Perkins said at the Blue Ash rally. "We've got to elect a candidate who understands the connection between our economy and our family."
Santorum did not say specifically how the federal government could address family values. He recently released a tax plan he plans to implement in his first 100 days that would triple the personal deduction for children and eliminate the marriage tax penalty throughout the tax code.
On Saturday, however, he simply called for a national conversation of the nation's top minds to determine how to "reconnect fathers with children" and bring "mothers and fathers together." And he promised not to shy away from talk about God while campaigning.
Another audience member, 48-year-old Kurt Daum, said that he agrees with Santorum's positions. But he isn't sure they'll resonate with the broader electorate in a general election matchup against President Barack Obama.
"I'm worried a candidate like this may polarize too much," said Daum, who was wearing a Santorum sticker on his shirt, but said he hadn't determined whom to vote for Tuesday. "I agree with what he has to say there, but when we get to the general population, how much are they going to agree. And can he beat Obama? That's what it comes down to."

As has been reported elsewhere, Phil Jackson is the Nets' top choice to be their next head coach and although
As has been reported elsewhere, Phil Jackson is the Nets' top choice to be their next head coach and although
Phil's representatives already have said he's not interested at this time, Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov is probably going to need to look deeply into the Zenmaster's eyes, as he did pursuing Carmelo Anthony, and hear nyet several times before he accepts it. Money, as he has demonstrated, is no object, but at this point sources say Phil is far more interested in running a team from the front office and mentoring a head coach (Kurt Rambis, Brian Shaw) than doing the day-to-day, hand-to-hand combat the job requires, no matter how much Prokhorov might pay him. (We'll see if that stands up should Prokhorov throw some crazy number at him.) Other names that already have surfaced have been Nate McMillan, because of his relationship with Deron Williams from their time with the US National Team, and Jerry Sloan, purely out of misunderstanding that when Williams said Sloan's system was better than Avery's, it was a critique of Johnson, not an endorsement of Sloan. One more name that has surfaced and might just be the next in line should Jackson not succumb to Mikhail's charms: Mike Dunleavy. He was in the mix for the Lakers' job, he's a Brooklyn native and a quick glance at his resume (one trip to the Finals, two to the conference finals, 38-33 playoff record) would indicate he's the next most accomplished coach available after Jackson. (I'm not including Larry Brown, because Deron knows LeBron and Carmelo far too well and there's no chance they'd endorse him after their experience playing for him on the national team.)

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Utah Jazz have been playing with a win-or-go-home desperation for the last three weeks. And it's all come down to one last game.
Al Jefferson had 22 points and eight rebounds to help Utah keep its playoff hopes alive with a 96-80 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night, setting up one more must-win game in the season finale on Wednesday.
"It comes down to one game now," Jefferson said. "It's a big game. The only thing we can worry about is what we can control, going out there and trying to take care of the game, and trying to win, and just leave the rest up to the Lakers, I guess."
Mo Williams had 15 points and seven assists for the Jazz, who needed a win to avoid being eliminated in the Western Conference playoff race.
To get into the playoffs, the Jazz need to win at Memphis on Wednesday and for the Los Angeles Lakers to lose at home against Houston that night. Utah owns the tiebreaker after beating the Lakers two out of three times this season.
"I guess I have to try and get in touch with Kevin McHale and tell him to handle it for me," said Jefferson, who played for the Rockets' coach when both were in Minnesota.
Derrick Williams had 18 points and six rebounds for the Timberwolves, who were missing centre Nikola Pekovic because of a bruised left calf.
The Jazz entered the night clinging to the post-season picture, down 1 1/2 games to the Lakers with two to play.
For a team that could have as many as nine expiring contracts this summer, the Jazz are desperately chasing one more playoff appearance. Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Mo Williams and Randy Foye all could be looking for new teams when the season ends, with a bevy of young players waiting to assume larger roles next year.
They've won nine of their last 11 games since a four-game losing streak in the middle of last month threatened to bury them.
"Talk about this group of guys, man the character that they have, there was no quit in this group," coach Tyrone Corbin said. "The guys just continued to work and put ourselves in a position to get back when we were struggling there."
Utah didn't play all that well early, but it was just good enough to stay on top of a Timberwolves team that is slogging to the finish of another long season. The Wolves shot just 33 per cent in the first quarter, and without Pekovic patrolling the paint they didn't grab an offensive rebound until late in the third quarter.
A 13-4 run by Minnesota cut Utah's lead to three points late in the third quarter, but once again the Wolves had no answer for Jefferson. The former Wolf scored 40 against the Wolves in a 107-100 win on Friday night in Salt Lake City and continued to attack the team's soft middle on Monday night. He scored six straight points after Minnesota's run to give the Jazz some breathing room again, and they never looked back.
Foye scored 14 points for the Jazz.
"You want to finish up better than that," coach Rick Adelman said of the home finale. "I know they had something to play for, but it was our last home game. I thought we should have had better effort, but we didn't."
The Timberwolves have one game left in what has been a miserable, injury-plagued season. They will enter this off-season as they have every one since 2004 -- with a spot in the lottery coming in June and plenty of questions about the roster and who will be back to lead it. Owner Glen Taylor has been mum on president David Kahn's future. Kahn has a team option on his contract for next season.
Coach Rick Adelman has two years left on his deal, but has considered stepping down to help his wife, Mary Kay, who is being treated for seizures. Her condition caused him to miss 11 games earlier this season. She is due to meet with doctors again shortly after the season ends and Adelman is hoping her condition will continue to stabilize. Before the game, Adelman said he was going forward with the idea that he would be back next season and hoped to have a definitive answer in the next couple of weeks.
"I think what happens with Mary Kay or any of that, that certainly would turn things in a different direction," Adelman said. "Right now I don't see that (happening), but I'm going to wait and see until we talk to the doctors and see what direction they've decided we need to go at this point. Then we'll move from there."
NOTES: Wolves PG Ricky Rubio had a quiet night with six points on 2-for-9 shooting and four assists. ... The Wolves finish the season with a game at San Antonio on Wednesday. ... It was just the 13th win on the road for the Jazz this season. They've won three straight away from home.

Another kid learned how to unlock the built-in camera. It was a form of viral education that we see, under the surface of many childhood interactions, every day. They learned without learning.

The Black Door is a place of forbidden pleasures and where every fantasy can come to life.
The women in the Naughty Book Club – Naomi, Kennedy, Mira and Tyler – will go to any length to satisfy their erotic desires. While they keep that part of their lives a secret, their significant others are harboring secrets of their own. Naomi, a suburban housewife, is stuck in a loveless marriage and can't figure out why her husband won't have sex with her.

Here they each begin their experience at The Black Door. Once certain truths are revealed, will the shock of knowing destroy relationships, or will they all just 'play nice', and forgive and forget?

Gov. Nathan Deal has signed two transportation bills into law that aim to help the state move forward on major projects.
Deal signed the bills Thursday at an event at the Atlanta Metro Chamber of Commerce.
The first, House Bill 202, provides greater flexibility for the state to distribute funds for interstate improvements and major regional projects, including deepening the shipping channel to the busy Port of Savannah.
Deal says the bill will allow the state to "better prioritize transportation projects that help to create jobs, decrease traffic holdup for freight and quicken the flow of goods to Georgians."
The second, Senate Bill 70, allows the state Department of Transportation to enhance its Design Build program, which is designed to streamline construction and improve innovation.
