Professional players and coaches in England will take part in a compulsory concussion education programme before the start of next season.
Premiership, Championship and Regional Academy players and coaches will complete an online concussion education module, and further resources will be extended to professional game referees and, through the Immediate Care in Sport programme, to healthcare providers.
The education programme is designed to increase awareness and reinforce best practice, and will be aligned with the Zurich Consensus on Concussion in Sport and the International Rugby Board's Concussion Guidelines.
Its introduction has been approved by the Professional Game Board (PGB) which also supported a number of further recommendations made by its Medical Advisory Group following the Professional Rugby Concussion Forum held at Twickenham Stadium last November.
Those recommendations include:
• Mandatory review of match footage of the mechanismof injury by the assessing medical practitioner before a player can be cleared to return to the field following the Pitchside Concussion Assessment (PSCA)
• A new review process for individual PSCA cases
• A commitment to ensure best practice and objectivity in the Graduated Return to Play protocol which is specific to rugby union
• Support for long-term player health studies looking to establishthe prevalence of neurodegenerative disease among retired players
All the stakeholders in the English professional game will continue to engage with the IRB PSCA Working Group to ensure that the best possible decisions regarding any possible development of the PSCA process can be made as quickly and accurately as possible.
RFU Chief Medical Officer Simon Kemp said: "Concussion is acknowledged to be one of the most challenging sports injuries to diagnose, assess and rehabilitate but we continue to make significant progress in this area. The education initiative is designed to broaden understanding beyond healthcare practitioners and facilitate the further cultural change needed across the game for good concussion management. We are very aware that the way concussion is managed at the professional level drives how it's managed at other levels of the game and it is important we continue to lead the way."
RFU Professional Rugby Director Rob Andrew said: "The professional game in England is a global leader in terms of player welfare and these constructive steps build on the consensus reached at the Professional Rugby Concussion Forum and the work the RFU and its partners have been doing over the last decade in terms of injury monitoring, research and prevention."

The Seattle Seahawks certainly couldn't on Sunday as the unbeaten Super Bowl champions put on a near-flawless performance in their most-lopsided regular-season win in 36 years.
Eli Manning threw for 267 yards and two touchdowns, while Brandon Jacobs ran for 136 yards and two more scores as the Giants scored on their first five possessions in a 44-6 victory.
"That's what you strive for," center Shaun O'Hara said. "Good teams can win games, but you start to creep into that great category when you can find a way to really put a team away. I think we are excited that we found a way to do that today."

The win was the eighth straight for the Giants (4-0) dating to last year's playoffs, and it's their best start since 1990, when they posted a 13-3 record and also won the NFL title.
The Giants rolled up 523 yards in total offense, their most since collecting 524 yards against Green Bay on Jan. 6, 2002, and limited Seattle to 187. The 38-point margin of victory was the largest in the regular season since a 62-10 win over Philadelphia on Nov. 26, 1972.
"We were clicking," guard Chris Snee said. "You would like to play every game like this. It's not very realistic, but it's one of those days. You enjoy it."
What made the performance so impressive was that the Giants dominated with Super Bowl hero Plaxico Burress suspended for a game for missing a team activity on Sept. 22. And they even did it after a bye week - New York had been 4-15 in post-bye week games.
Domenik Hixon started for Burress and caught four passes for 102 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown on the Giants' opening possession. However, his day ended with a concussion in the second quarter.
When he left, Sinorice Moss stepped in and caught four passes for 45 yards and two touchdowns.
"It just shows the character of this team and the character of the guys on the offense," tackle David Diehl said. "It doesn't matter if Plaxico gets suspended or somebody goes down, other people step up and make plays."
With Buffalo's 41-17 loss to Arizona, the Giants and Tennessee (5-0) are the only undefeated teams in the league. The Titans beat Baltimore 13-10 on Sunday.
"I would be lying if I said it didn't stick in my mind," defensive end Justin Tuck said of the prospect of going unbeaten. "But I'm trying to think about one game at a time, and we have Cleveland next week and that could be a trap game."
For the Seahawks, this was another dreadful trip east. They are 1-6 in their last seven cross-country flights and are 3-8 in their last eight road games overall.
Making matters worse for the four-time defending NFC West champions, they are now 1-3, their worst start since 2002.
"Well, that was a good, old-fashioned, you know what," Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said. "I believe we are a better football team than that, but the Giants really took it to us."
Seattle was limited to two field goals by Olindo Mare despite getting receivers Bobby Engram and Deion Branch back in the lineup for the first time this season.
Branch, who had three catches for 31 yards, left in the second half with an injury to his right heel. He left the stadium in a walking boot, saying he was OK.
"We didn't make any big plays and gave up too many big plays," said Engram, who had eight catches for 61 yards. "That's a recipe for disaster."
The only break Seattle seemingly got was that quarterback Matt Hasselbeck only hyperextended his right knee after being hit on the fourth play from scrimmage. He limped to the sidelines and finished 11-of-21 for 105 yards and an interception before being relieved late in the third quarter with New York ahead 37-6.
The Giants had nine plays of 15 yards or more in the first half while building a 27-6 lead, and they added two more long ones on the opening drive of the second half.
After Manning's TD pass to Hixon, Jacobs sandwiched 3- and 1-yard TD runs around the first of three field goals by John Carney. Moss caught a 23-yard TD pass from Manning in the third quarter and a 5-yarder from David Carr in the fourth.
Notes:@ Manning had a career-high quarterback rating of 136.6. His previous high was 132.4 in the NFC semifinal vs. Dallas last season. ... After two straight 100-yard rushing games, Seattle's Julius Jones was limited to 61 yards on 17 carries. ... New York had two sacks after registering six apiece the last two games. CB Josh Wilson, who replaced Kelly Jennings (concussion) led Seattle with 11 tackles.

Replace Transmission Cooler Return Filter if it Has "AB" Suffix
If the transmission delays initial gear engagement after being parked overnight or longer, it may be due to a suspect transmission cooler return filter. If the transmission was recently serviced and the part number for the cooler return filter contains an "AB" suffix at the end, a new filter should be installed.
Check Engine Light Due to Failed Thermostat
The thermostat may fail to close completely, causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. This problem will prevent the engine from reaching normal operating temperature; a new thermostat should be installed.
Front and Rear Differential Pinion Seal and Transfer Case Leaks
Leaks at the front and/or rear differential pinion seal and from the transfer case are common. Leakage from the transfer case normally occurs at the case-mating surfaces and require removal of the transfer case to reseal.
Software Updates Address Erroneous Illumination of Warning Lights
Software updates are available to solve various Check Engine Light and warning light related issues.
Brake Pulsations Due to Warped Front Brake Rotors
Due to warped front brake rotors or variations in the thickness of the rotors, brake pulsations may develop. The best method to reduce pulsations is to use an "On the Car" brake lathe (as long as the rotors are suitable for turning). "On the Car" equipment can correct variations (or "runout") in the rotor surfaces because it also corrects variations in other components (e.g. the hub).

After all the chiming in from anyone and everyone on this "McJaygate" I figured I would add my perspective to the table.
Let's take this whole thing from square one. Jay Cutler did not EVER want Josh McDaniels to coach this team. He was perfectly happy being the "golden boy" in the old system and never desired to make a change. The mere fact that a player on a team comes out and demands what coaches are kept and who can go just shows the lack of respect a player has for a franchise. It was not like Jay said "I would like to see Jeremy Bates here next year", oh no, Jay said "You better keep Jeremy." Really? You get to pick the coaches now?
The next issue was that coach McDaniels does not believe in coddling any players. It does not matter if you are the second string Punter or the franchise QB you will receive the same treatment from this staff. Meaning that when you mess up they will let you know about it, and the same goes for when you do well. I got the feeling early that having a QB that felt he had more talent that John Elway wasn't going to mesh well with that mentality.
Now, if you believe the reports or not the fact is that Jay wanted out early. This whole blowing up on a trade rumor was really just a way to get him out of this new system. Truth is what do you do in McDaniels situation? No really, think about it, you are the coach of a team. A new coach at that. Now you come in and win or lose it is now on you, add to that you know that just making the playoffs doesn't really fly in Denver. Now, you know your system, and you have an idea of what it takes to win at this level. The only issue is that you have a QB that has issues from day one. Your strategy is that this is one team not a bunch of individuals (if you recall the Patriots were the reason that individual names are no longer announced before the Super Bowl).
With that mentality do you go ahead and back off of everything you know to tell some arrogant QB that he is the exception to the rules you expect the rest of the team to follow?
In that case this would have truly been Jay Cutler's team. That said take a look at teams like Washington, Oakland and Dallas, these are the teams that most notably allow their players to overrule the coaching staff. How is that working out for those franchises?
Bottom line is that Cutler was not going to help his new coach in any way shape or form. So, again I ask, what would you do? And how is McDaniels the bad guy here? Because he listened to a trade offer? REALLY? This is a franchise that tried to trade John Elway at one point. Add to that guys like McNabb are in trade rumors every offseason, you think he is going to just stop showing up? I really feel that had Jay wanted to be a part of this team from the start he would be there right now.
What I don't get is why the Broncos front office isn't getting more credit here. They turned a trade rumor of Cutler straight up for Cassel into Orton two 1st round picks and a 3rd. Talk about running a guy through the mud and coming away with an even better deal. Truth is that the Bears gave up enough to get an MVP caliber player, not a guy who's best season as a QB was 8-8.
The truth here likely lies somewhere in between each individual story, and the true winner of this trade will not surface until we see if Orton fits this system, if Cutler can work without any talent around him, and most importantly what Denver does with those picks. This may turn out to be Hershel Walker to the Vikings all over again. While Cutler has all the tools to become an elite player so have guys like Jeff George and Kyle Boller. The best QB's are the ones that can handle pressure, are level headed and don't make rash decisions. Seems like Chicago better hope this guy can grow up in a hurry, and Denver needs to hope they can hit the jackpot in the ???09 and '10 drafts.

One week only!

Wex at Gateway
Join us at the Gateway Film Center (located in the South Campus Gateway, just three blocks to our south) where we program a different exceptional independent or international title for a run of at least two weeks each month. Wexner Center members pay member pricing for all Wex at Gateway screenings—and save on most other movies at Gateway too.
21st-Century Independents
After a period of creative dormancy, the once-vital American independent cinema has experienced a resurgence in the past decade. Even though the budgets might be small-to-nonexistent and the names unfamiliar (for now), exciting new artists from all corners of this country have found innovative ways to tell stories we haven't heard yet and introduce us to people that we've never seen on screen before. This series, organized by Associate Curator Chris Stults, offers the Columbus theatrical premieres of some of the best new and recent truly independent films.
"What the future of independent cinema might look like."—Film Comment
Showing in an exclusive weeklong Wex at Gateway engagement, Cold Weather is a delightfully fresh update of the detective movie genre. An aimless forensic science graduate moves back to his hometown of Portland, Oregon, to work in an ice factory, visit his sister, and feel sorry for himself. When his ex-girlfriend suddenly disappears, he springs into action and is able to put all the Sherlock Holmes novels that he's been reading to good use. The smart script by up-and-coming director Aaron Katz sets a classic mystery story within a realistic, mundane environment, and the result is a subtle exploration of friendship. (96 mins., video)

LOS ANGELES -- As a team trying to back on track defensively, the Philadelphia Flyers found the perfect tonic to improve: the goal-challenged Los Angeles Kings. In a game in which the Kings set a modern-day record for offensive futility, the Flyers needed nominal offense to leave Staples Center with a victory.
Winger Wayne Simmonds and center Claude Giroux scored goals and goaltender Steve Mason stopped 35 shots as the Flyers defeated the Kings 2-0 on Saturday.
Philadelphia (27-23-6) won for the second time in three games after a four-game losing streak. The shutout was Mason's third of the season and his second in the last three games. The Flyers temporarily climbed into the third spot in the Metropolitan Division and their defensive mindset for this game worked perfectly in support of Mason.
"It's really important that we block shots. You want to get in the lanes and block as many as possible," said Flyers winger Braydon Schenn."I think Mason kept is in it for most of the game. He obviously had a great game. Sometimes you need your goalie to bail you out, and he did tonight."
After the game, Elias Sports Bureau reported that Kings are the first team since 1929 to have one player score all the team's goals in six straight games. Center Anze Kopitar's three goals are all Los Angeles has managed since a Jan. 23 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
"You make your luck. We've got to be better as a team," said Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick." It doesn't matter how we win the games, we've just got to find ways to win games."
The Flyers broke the scoreless tie at 7:48 of the middle frame on Simmonds' 18th goal of the season. Philadelphia gained possession in the offensive zone off a turnover by Los Angeles defenseman Jake Muzzin and, after two quick passes by Giroux and forward Vincent Lecavalier, Simmonds deposited the puck into an open net.
"It was my 100th career goal, so there was a little extra celebration," said Simmonds. "I got my first one here too and coming back to play here is special."
Los Angeles' anemic offense struggled to put consistent offensive pressure on Mason for the majority of the middle frame. The Kings came into the game with just three goals in their last five games and facing a team that averaged four goals over its last 11 games.
The Los Angeles locker room was routinely quiet as the team's confidence flounders amid trade rumors and increasing talk of a coaching change prior to the Olympics. The Kings have two more games at home before the break and need to prove to general manager Dean Lombardi that he should keep the core of the team intact just two years removed from a Stanley Cup championship.
"You have to score to win, you can't win with nothing," said Kings coach Darryl Sutter. "You can't get frustrated; you can't allow guys who are playing well to get frustrated, you have to see if they can work their way out of it."
Quick kept the Kings' one-goal deficit intact with a nice glove save of a wrist shot by Sean Couturier four minutes into the third period. Though Los Angeles controlled the play throughout the final period and had a power play with less than eight minutes remaining, the Kings could not solve Mason.
The Kings' best chance to even the game came with three minutes left in regulation when winger Justin Williams' backhanded attempt hit the post to the right of Mason and bounced harmlessly away. Defenseman Matt Greene drew an interference penalty on the same shift that sealed the win when Giroux converted a feed from winger Scott Hartnell for his 17th goal with 1:58 remaining.
Los Angeles (30-21-6) lost for the eighth time in nine games and was shut out for the third time in five games as the Kings struggle to stay in third place in the Pacific Division.
Quick stopped just 11 Philadelphia shots while suffering his third consecutive loss.
NOTES: The Flyers scratched LW Jay Rosehill, D Kimmo Timonen and D Hal Gill. ... Philadelphia has surrendered nine short-handed goals, tying with the Edmonton Oilers for the most allowed in the NHL this season. ... Flyers RW Wayne Simmonds' second-period goal was the 100th of his career. ... Los Angeles did not dress RW Matt Frattin, D Alec Martinez and D Jeff Schultz. ... Kings D Robyn Regher played in his 1,000th NHL game and was honored with a pre-game ceremony. Regher is in his 13th NHL season and played for Calgary and Buffalo before arriving in Los Angeles via trade in April 2013. ... Kings D Slava Voynov, who signed a $25 million, six-year extension last summer, does not have a goal in 37 games.

This recipe is a very simple one to do and the results are just what you would envision: tons more flavor than store-boughts, a little less sweet, and a little zestier. The better the cucumbers means the better the pickles, and local ones win most taste tests. Even better, grow your own! In a pinch, English-style cucumbers are good because of their tender skin that hasn't been sprayed with that wax. I don't like to cook the cucumbers in the pickling liquid, but rather to pour the liquid over the cucumbers and let the heat of the liquid do the rest. This means the vegetables don't overcook, resulting in a crisper pickle.
These pickles are what we pair with a torchon of foie gras, because of an unease with anything too fancy.–Hugh Acheson
LC Picky About Pickles Note
In our experience, a good many people pretty like only the kind of pickles they grew up with. These are not pickles for those people. These are pickles for the open-minded. Witness the intriguing ingredient list, which calls for cukes, Vidalias, fennel seeds (wouldn't some slivers of fennel be lovely pickled like this?!), turmeric, mustard seeds, allspice, cider vinegar, sugar, and a few other surprises. Even better, you can make these as quick pickles, simply putting them in the fridge and consuming them within 10 or so days. Or you can process them the old-fashioned way in their jars and put them up for next winter. As a complete non sequitur, we've no idea where the saying "in a pickle" comes from, though we have to say, we'd love to find ourselves in a jar of these slightly sweet specimens…
Special Equipment: pint-size canning jars
Bread-and-Butter Pickles Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes 3 to 4 pints
- 10 small pickling cucumbers (4 to 5 inches in length and 1 1/2 inches in diameter)
- 1 medium sweet onion, preferably Vidalia
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 cup fresh celery leaves (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground fenugreek
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 8 allspice berries
- 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sorghum or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1. Wash the cucumbers under cold water and then slice them into 1/3-inch-thick rounds. Peel the onion and slice into 1/3-inch strips.
- 2. Mix the onion and cucumbers in a medium bowl and add half of the kosher salt. Toss well and let sit for 1 hour at room temperature.
- 3. Rinse the onion and cucumbers well using a colander and cold water to remove the salt. When thoroughly rinsed and drained, tear the celery leaves over the mixture, and toss. Pack the cucumbers, onion, and celery leaves into clean pint jars.
- 4. Using a nonreactive pot, combine the remaining salt, red pepper flakes, fenugreek, fennel seeds, turmeric, mustard seeds, allspice, vinegar, sugar, sorghum, and cold water. Bring to a rapid boil and then pour evenly over the cucumber mixture.
- 5. Screw on the lids, leave the jars out on the counter for 2 hours, and then place in the fridge. At this point the pickles are pretty much done but they will be at their best a day or two later. The shelf life, without the hot canning process, is about 10 days. If you'd like the jars to keep for the long haul, follow your jar manufacturer's directions for canning.

leather sofa so it is warmer to sit on~
jumble half on and half off of the couch.
This would also be a great way to keep
the leather from getting really beat up
if you let your dogs sit on the couch, like we do.
They did turn out wonderful! I think with your tutorial, I could do that!
Hi Amy,
Only you could come up with this idea of covering cushions on a leather sofa with shabby chic quilts! I love it!!! You make it look so easy with the tutorial the only problem is that I would probably get one finished and not the others! LOL!
Looks great and cozies up the room.
And, yes, your son is a real cutie.
Fantastic solution Amy, and well executed. It looks very cozy now.
Very pretty, Amy, and such a neat idea. The sofas look so sweet and shabby now!
Your son is a handsome guy!
Love how you pulled off this project. Its so different. Love it...so cozy.
Congrats on winning the giveaway. An awesome win!
Ottimo lavoro:D
Buon weekend
Wow! We do have that same couch only darker and I also have one of the same quilts!
I think I might get yelled at if I changed it though :/
Great job!!
I am so impressed with your creativity! I love the mix of the quilted cushions with the leather. It looks like it will be much warmer for the winter but you might decide to keep it on all year long since it's so pretty! The floral pattern would be great for spring too.
Darling Amy~ love your quilt slipcovers! They are perfect!
What a great idea!! Nice to be warm!! :)
Great look. You make the sewing look so easy.....hmmmmm. Good directions for a boxed pillow! Linda

Heck, even I could do that! Very inventive and very you!
Genius! I think I may even try this and I don't sew all that well. You made it look so easy. Thanks for the tutorial!
That looks amazing Amy !!! You inspire me to do some sewing myself !
I am so with you on doing something over and over ! I like to do one and then move on to a new project.

Oh, my what a cute idea. I wish I could sew like you. Wish you lived close by to help me with slips for these chairs in the sun room. I will have to pay a fortune to get them made.
Love the sofa cushion covers. It looks so cheerful. I know my Mom keeps quilts on her sofas all the time for her weenies. They work great but do look a mess. Love the quilts you used. Tobey looks so cute sitting there.

Dr. Stephanie King, DC, expert in diet and non-surgical fat loss devices reviews the latest body contouring devices on the market today and releases her results. Dr. King concludes the best Body Shaping System for your clinic or spa to achieve SAME-DAY, painless circumferential loss (inch loss) is the Body Slimming Experts' Ultra-Slim Express or Ultra-Slim Plus II Lipo-Sculpture System.
PASADENA, Calif., Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. King answers the burning question in the Heath & Beauty industry, "What is the best weight-loss device to lose inches, achieve SAME-DAY results, painlessly without down time?" Dr. King names Body Slimming Experts (BSE) Ultra Slim Plus line of Ultrasound Lipo-sculpturing equipment the winner. Dr. Stephanie King states that this equipment combined with the "King Protocols" will give you results beyond your belief. http://youtu.be/4p6qbKNwbYE
Dr. King, of Dedicated to Health Medical Group in "Vanity" central, Southern California has become quite familiar with the ever-popular "quick fixes" to trim, tone, tighten and squeeze into that perfect dress before a big event. Her celebrity clientele expects it and expects the best methods that work and work well. Even her non-celebrity clientele, the businessman or woman, rely on her to keep them looking younger and feeling younger to compete for their jobs. This is accomplished regularly in her clinic as well as the clinic she consults to nationally. http://bodyslimmingexperts.com
To accomplish this, Dr. King, Expert in diet and non-surgical fat loss devices has reviewed the newest and latest body contouring devices on the market today and releases her results. Dr. King concludes your best choice for Body Shaping to achieve SAME-DAY, immediate circumferential Loss (inch Loss) is the Body Slimming Experts (BSE) Ultra Slim Plus line of Ultrasound Lipo-sculpturing equipment the winner. These devices have the highest frequencies and success in the market for:
Laser type machines on the market place like the i-lipo, Zerona, and Lipolight have gained much popularity recently. When they first came out we personally tested and used them in our locations, and found very few benefits and many negative issues that were not ideal. They look cool and could be the future, but we found them expensive to repair, fragile, non-permanent, and necessitated other methods to aid the body to remove liquid fat in order to obtain results. Where lasers work well is in combination with surgical liposuction, when the fat itself is exposed, but the again it's surgery.
What separates my opinion from others that sell this equipment is I use this equipment in a clinical setting, and I've personally tested it on myself as well as compared to use with other devices. I as well as my clients demand immediate results our mutual success depends on it. Below is why we evolved and moved to the newer BSE's Ultrasound fat melting technology, the non-surgical alternative to Liposuction.
Laser body contouring units DO NOT destroy fat cells. The lasers work by increasing the metabolism (heat) of the fat cell, this heat opens the cell, and the contents leak out. The fat cell shrinks allowing the fat to move out slowly over time. Fat cells typically remain active for 48 hours following laser-shaping sessions necessitating treatment every 48 to 72 hours for a minimum of 2 weeks or 6 session to see results.
If a single session is missed the patient will see little to no results. Often 12 sessions are needed to see any change in circumference or inch loss. Desired results can take up to 4-6 weeks before changes are seen. Results can be temporary as fat cells remain intact and can simply refill unlike ultrasound cavitation that breaks down the fat cells. Many clients have seen fat return to their bodies within the following three (3) months of completing LipoLaser treatments. The results of all treatment are lost.
People are very unhappy with the long-term results of Laser fat loss devices, and find it difficult to schedule appointments every 48 hours to get their desired results.
WITH THE POWER OF ULTRASOUND CAVITATION LIPOSCULPTURE utilizing the BSE Ultra Slim Plus II you will see the following:
Targeted Fat Reduction due to the power of ultrasound vibrating and breaking down the fat cell at localized targeted areas. Body Shaping due to the hands on device allows for vibrations to encourage lymphatic flow and movement of fat beginning within minutes of treatment.
Skin Tightening through the power of ultrasonic waves and radio frequency waves that stimulate collagen production and ATP below the muscle layer causing instant skin tightening that your patient can feel immediately and through the coming days. See immediate results the same day, with No-Down Time, No Needles, and No Pain.
Body Slimming Experts also provides professional Marketing Support, life time Technical Support and Full 1 year Warranty.
The Intelligent alternative to Liposuction and other Aesthetic Devices for Body Contouring the BSE Ultra-Slim line of lipo cavitation devices is the industry leader in the market today with training sites West Coast, East Coast and Internationally.
Endorsed by Medical Physicians, and our long time expert in the Health Industry Dr. Stephanie King who personally treats and trains in Pasadena, California at Dedicated to Health Medical Group.

Recently, many states, including California, Vermont and New York have adopted or are considering laws that permit a unique business classification called "benefit corporations." Benefit corporations are companies that aim to balance both socially-minded business principles and profits.
Until now, legal requirements for corporations focused on one goal: profits. Today, benefit corporations add the legal duty of companies to achieve profits while also focusing on socially responsible activities — also known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Start-up businesses and existing small businesses would be well-served to adopt a benefit corporation structure. Companies that seek to establish sustainable principles as part of their business and marketing strategy and, more importantly, their corporate DNA, are positioned for long-term success.
As former CEO of Patagonia and now a professor at Pepperdine's Graziadio School of Business and Management, I know first-hand the benefits of integrating socially minded principles into the core of a business. Patagonia was the first company to sign up for benefit corporation status in California; a corporation in which passion and social responsibility have helped build a successful business. Patagonia's success is predicated on ensuring that the core principles of environmental stewardship and corporate social responsibility are implemented into every product.
With sustainability as clearly more than a trend, there are a few things businesses should keep in mind when looking to establish a company built for long-term success.
Register as a benefit corporation from the beginning: Establishing a company as a benefit corporation allows the business to embed socially minded goals in the company and maintain that foundation through efforts to raise capital. Creating brand loyalty must mean a loyal commitment to these goals. Historically, companies had opportunities to get a certificate to highlight their commitment to social benefits, but there was not legal protection from investors or executives that wanted to shift the company's direction. Now, with benefit corporations, investors will be investing in a company that has socially minded principles embedded through law.
Do not lose sight of "standard" business practices: Establishing a goal to improve the environment or your community can be all encompassing. Businesses must make sure you establish solid business practices in your company to ensure success. This means ensuring that you produce a high-quality product or service. In order to maximize profits, socially minded goals must be carefully married with a high quality product or service to truly achieve brand loyalty.
Look to executive education programs: These are valuable as talent sources for prospective employees with skills that can help you maximize profits while attaining your social and environmental goals. Beyond Grey Pinstripes, a program run by the Aspen Institute, compiles information about innovative full-time MBA programs that are "leading the way in the integration of issues concerning social and environmental stewardship into the curriculum." In 2009, Beyond Grey Pinstripes collected data from 149 business schools in 24 countries and found that the number of elective courses per school that feature some degree of social, environmental or ethical content has increased over time: In 2009 it was 19 courses per school, up from 12 courses per school in 2005.
In fact, the model I teach, Socially Environmentally Ethically Responsible (SEER) Business Strategy, aligns fully with the intent of the benefit corporation. CSR is one of four macro-values the organizations must embrace in order to achieve the aims that the benefit corporation classification is meant to aspire. By applying an integrated strategy encompassing a quality product or service, financial strength, corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship, business can and will drive profitability and positively impact society.
Research and real-life examples make it clear: Entrepreneurs looking to start a new business or an executive looking to maximize profits while doing good, have greater odds of achieving success through a benefit corporation designation. Having an emotional connection — a heart-felt occurrence that organically evolves over time — will provide concrete financial benefits that will help companies grow over the long-term.
Michael Crooke is an assistant professor of strategy at the Graziadio School of Business and Management, Pepperdine University. He is the founding and lead faculty of the school's Certificate in Socially, Environmentally and Ethically Responsible (SEER) Business Strategy. He is the former CEO of Prana LLC, Revolution Living and Patagonia Inc.

Children and familes need strong, supportive communities to thrive
The Casey Foundation is fully invested in building better futures for millions of disadvantaged children in tough neighborhoods -- areas where poverty is concentrated, crime is common, safety is elusive, and essential services are unreliable. Our two-generation approach seeks to change the future for large numbers of at-risk kids by finding ways to help their parents succeed in the present.
We know that kids do well when their families do well and families do better when they live in supportive neighborhoods and communities. We are committed to changing the environment in these neighborhoods so families can connect to economic opportunity, social networks, and trustworthy services and supports.
Making Connections
Making Connections is the Foundation's long-term, multi-site effort to demonstrate that poor results for children and families in tough neighborhoods can be changed for the better. The 10-year initiative began in 1999.Social InvestmentsInvesting in one's mission takes more than just time, effort, and grants. Truly transforming a neighborhood into a rich, thriving community, such as in the Making Connections or Civic Site work, can take an economic catalyst to jump-start development efforts. To this end, we invest part of our endowment funding Program-Related Investments and Mission-Related Deposits as part of a larger social investment strategy.
Responsible Redevelopment Casey's Responsible Redevelopment investments, part of the Center for Family Economic Success, reflect our efforts to foster a more comprehensive approach in urban redevelopment. This approach places families, rather than buildings, at the heart of urban revitalization and centers on improving the well-being of low-income families and children.
Civic Sites Two cities are known as our Civic Sites: Baltimore – home to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and Atlanta – home to UPS. Each represent areas where Casey's grantmaking is not connected to an initiative but remains responsive to local opportunities for well-defined, neighborhood-based, family strengthening work aimed at improving results for disadvantaged children. FAMILIES COUNT Through FAMILIES COUNT, the Casey Foundation celebrates and supports organizations that improve the odds for vulnerable children by helping them have what they need most—strong, capable and economically successful families. The honorees embrace a simple but powerful principle: Children do well when their families do well, and families do better when they live in supportive communities.

Best Chicken Fried Chicken in town! – Going to Live Oak Grill is like going over to someone's summer farmhouse for dinner. Framed by a large live oak tree with wooden tables for al freso dining, the main restaurant building looks like a large family home. There's a jukebox in the corner and a bucket of beer near the cash register. You walk up to the counter and place your order and pick it up when the buzzer goes off. We always order the chicken fried chicken, fried to crispy perfection and topped with a creamy gravy, which comes with your choice of two sides. I get the corn and mac n cheese. My husband likes the green beans and mashed potatoes. This is comfort food at its best - So much better than the upscale Ousie's table in River oaks (where chicken fried chicken is ~$28), and for 1/3 of the price! They also have burgers, pork chops, salmon, salads, and a wonderful banana pudding - but stick with either the chicken fried steak or chicken fried chicken, and you won't ever go wrong.
Wonderful food! – We chose Live Oak Grill tonight after our first restaurant choice had a 1 hr wait. The parking lot was full so we anticipated a long line to order. Not!! The restaurant was full but still empty tables to choose from along with outside dining. We were the next in line to order when we walked in. The food was delicious! I had the special - salmon salad. Best salmon I have ever had. Juicy and tasty and mild smoky flavor - Scrumptious! My husband had the chicken fried steak - delicious! The mashed potatoes and the garlic cole slaw - YUUMMMMY!! We were so glad we opted Live Oak Grill!! Don't let the simple down home feel fool you - the food is delicious!
Great Local Restaurant – I enjoy eating here, they have daily specials, great hamburgers and a variety of other foods. Ice cold beer and a good ole juke box to listen to. It's a bit off the beaten path, but once you find it, you will be back. Owners are very friendly and ready to serve their guests.
Kid-friendly burger place in Sugar Land under the shade of towering live oaks. – Inside the ranch-style restaurant, expect a relaxed, down home atmosphere and a menu dominated by Southern classics. Order at the counter and pull an icy Lone Star from the cooler before finding a table. Favorites include Angus burgers with crisp-coated fries (or swap fries for some old-fashioned crunchy onion rings), chicken fried steak, grilled or fried shrimp, mesquite grilled pork chops and other barbecue options including ribs and brisket. Opt for a table outside under century old oaks so the kids can enjoy the spacious playground area. Top off your classic Texas meal with some homemade banana pudding or pecan pie.
Excellent Burgers! – I've been there maybe 7 or so times. Service can be a little slow, but it is deffinatly worth the wait! It has a nice homie feel... nothing fancy. But great comfort food. My favorite is the mushroom swiss burger with a side of honey-mustard for the fries.
It's not very busy, and even when it is busy, there is hardly a wait at all.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

|'Slavery is just two grandmas away'
There are no translations available.
'Slavery is just two grandmas away'. That is the temporary name of the TV series made by the NPS. A camera crew arrives on the 22nd of June to film in Paramaribo, on plantations and in Maroon villages.
The broadcaster pays attention to role of the Netherlands in the international slavery. Editor Carla Boos tells that this subject is still a little of a taboo in the Dutch community. 'With this documentary we want to show the many different sides of slavery' says Boos.
Stand up comedian Roué Verveer presents a part of the documentary. He will be searching for his roots in our country. Finally he will be standing eye to eye with a distant relative in Africa after he begins his search with his mother. The purpose of the series is not to gain apologies form the Dutch government but to show how slavery was and still is.

Some of it is hyperbole, if not hubris, a remnant of the town's past.
And some of it is true: Anniston's famous trees — those still standing — are gorgeous.
The city of Auburn and its university have held innumerable public funerals for the famed Toomer's Corner oaks since that Crimson Tide nutjob poisoned them with hate. That civic comradeship doesn't make it any easier for Anniston, which figuratively buried more than a few of its picturesque trees this week after a late-Monday afternoon storm blew across the state and uprooted decades upon decades of growth, shade, beauty and reputation.
The sights are depressing.
The tree destroyed at Zinn Park.
The felled tree at 10th and Fairmont.
The tree lost at Christine and 16th.
The fallen trees on Leighton.
That's only some of the foliage east Alabama lost Monday. (City officials say the storm destroyed more than 38 trees, though that number has to be higher.) Across Calhoun County, damage was widespread, particularly in Jacksonville and points north of Anniston's downtown. Several local high schools were damaged; Jacksonville State's library wasn't unscathed. And, yes, a great number of the lost trees across the county were just trees — some sentimental, others insignificant unless they landed on your car or house. But it's impossible not to gaze at the stubby remnants of those lost in Anniston's "Cathedral of Trees" and feel a gut-level response for what's gone.
A few years ago, I sat in the 11th Street insurance office of George Deyo and listened to him tell all sorts of stories about his family, which, for the uniformed, links him back to Gen. Daniel Tyler, one of Anniston's founders. If you want to know Anniston, know George Deyo.
I stole the "Cathedral of Trees" label from Deyo. That's how he described Anniston's Quintard-Leighton-Christine corridor that long ago gave the city its reputation for arboreal beauty. Despite Monday's storm, that label still rings true. The cathedral, though damaged, still stands. "I think that's one of our main assets," he told me that day.
Another story: That same year, I spent an afternoon at the Anniston home of Lowndes Butler, the great-grandson of Samuel Noble, who needs no introduction. He lamented elements of change in Anniston — the loss of Quintard Avenue's residential beauty, for instance — but found solace in the fact that Deyo's cathedral remains largely intact.
"I'm sure (Noble and Tyler) would be pleased with the city of Anniston, especially to see that Quintard had been preserved more or less as they had envisioned it, that all the trees had been left there," he told me.
If erstwhile Anniston City Councilman Ben Little had had his way in 2007, crews would have taken down a significant number of the trees in Quintard's median. Little, never short on farcical ideas, overreacted to a few downed limbs along the avenue and suggested — in an oddly logical way — that a life is more important than a tree.
He was right, of course.
But Anniston has existed more than a century with people living among Quintard's majestic trees planted by order of the city's founders, and I've never heard of a life lost to a wayward branch or felled tree trunk. Have you?
Yes, Quintard's trees still stand. That quintessential part of Anniston's beauty, of Anniston's cathedral, has been preserved.
Monday's storm notwithstanding, Anniston is fortunate that in its 125-plus years of existence that it has not had an April 27, 2011-style storm ravage the town's tree-lined center and turn the founders' vision of green, Europeanesque streets into historical remembrances. For better or worse, Anniston is forever bound to its trees. Leonard Nimoy says it best, may they live long and prosper.
If anything, Monday's winds have opened a door for Anniston to invest in an inventory of its historic downtown trees. How many valuable ones exist? Are they healthy? Which ones pose a danger to the public or to power lines? For those, what can be done that addresses their historic value and the need for safety?
If Anniston's emblematic trees retain value — they do, undeniably — then it's time for an accurate appraisal before the next windstorm blows through and does more damage than the one just past. When they're gone, they're gone.

Notice of Petition - "Compensation, Retirement Programs and Related Benefits"
Scott Nissen
278 2nd Ave E, P.O. Box 99
Franklin, MN 55333-0099
April 19, 2013
Barry F Mardock
Deputy Director
Office of Regulatory Policy, Farm Credit Administration
1501 Farm Credit Drive
McLean, VA 22102-5090
Dear Mr. Mardock:
I'm writing this letter in opposition to the Farm Credit System (FCS)
petition against giving a voice to their member owners (say on pay) and in
support of the Farm Credit Administration's (FCA) final rule adopted last
The FCS is a government sponsored enterprise or GSE and they need to have
a high standard of accountability and transparency in their dealings. The
FCS is also structured as a cooperative and their members need to be
allowed to have a vote on the large pay packages of FCS CEOs, executives,
and senior officers.
I disagree with the FCS contention that FCA needs Congress to pass a law
in order to allow this fundamental right to cooperative members. Where
has FCS been when the FCA has granted FCS lenders numerous power grabs in
recent years that were not authorized by Congress?
If the FCA backs down on this final regulation due to pressure from the
FCS, then the FCA's credibility as a regulator will be severely undermined
and its supposed interest in transparency will be shown to be nothing more
than empty rhetoric. Rejecting the FCS petition is also necessary to
ensure better safety and soundness practices are in place for the FCS.
Therefore, I request that the FCA keep the final rule in place and
strengthen it as suggested above. Thank you for considering my comments.
Scott Nissen

Sports Digest
June 22, 2009
Michael Phelps swept both events he entered at the Canada Cup in Montreal, though he gave himself a split decision on his performance in his last two races leading up to next month's U.S. nationals. Phelps, who lives in Fells Point, won the 100-meter freestyle Sunday in the pool that hosted the 1976 Olympics after posting a personal best time there in winning Saturday's 100-meter butterfly. His time of 48.65 seconds in the 100 freestyle improved on the 48.87 he swam one week earlier, when he finished second to defending world champion Brent Hayden of Canada in Santa Clara, Calif. "I'm sort of everywhere where I want to be, except in the 100 free," Phelps said. "I want to be faster in that." He hit the first turn in the 100 in 23.59 seconds, 0.20 ahead of Australian Matt Targett. He held on to his margin on the second length but was unable to add much more distance between himself and Targett, who finished second in 48.87. "I wish I could answer the question of what happened in the second 50," Phelps said. "I'm going to watch the video and see what happened with my stroke and if it fell apart or not. The first 50 felt awesome. That's the best my stroke has felt in a race, was the very first lap, and I've just got to work on doing it for the 100's two laps."

On the edge of Piedmont Park, skip the burgers & make a bee-line to the salt block menu for sushi flown in from Hawaii & mouthwatering wagyu. Beers are only $1 when it rains!
Great place to be at after a hard day of work. Interesting people always hangs around here and the drinks are affordable. The location is good too.
I went to Park Tavern on a weeknight around nine. The views were amazing and our server Jonna was eerily efficient at her job. Before I knew I needed something she was walking up with the said item (kinda creepy) but good. Everything she described sounded if she was making love to it, and her recommendations were spot on. Shout out to the sushi bar for making works of art and selling it for 1/2 price every night. The seared Butterfish was amazing and worked perfectly for my paleo diet needs. My boyfriend got the cowboy roll with kobe beef and truffle fries. It looked so good. He doesn't eat sushi at all but was blown away by how good it was. The only thing I wish I did differently was to bring my dog with me (acceptable on the outer tables) to enjoy the park. Yay Tavern!
horrible service and horrible ownership & staff attitude – saturday 3/10/2012 we went down for lucky fest. this was my first time to visit park tavern.
we ordered several of the same drinks, each time the girl could not remember the orage as a garnish.
toward the end of the night we were heading out , we ere told by this huge bouncer to move out of the way or we were gong to jail??? my date went to get the owner because neither one of us never have been talked to like that , for doing nothing. the owner was just as impolite as his door man. very low class. i will never go back to that place. the owner needs to realize working with the public, you dont threaten people that they will go to jail if for literally standing in front of the bar waiting on their entire group to catch up . RIDICULOUS!
Watch out with weddings – i'm sorry at this point I have heard too many stories about weddings being canceled at the last minute when stuff comes up. Just something potential brides and grooms should keep in mind if considering this venue (or other events). If an event comes up in the park after you have booked, beware that you could be scrambling at the last minute to find somewhere new.
Beware of Event Brunches!!! – I have been to Park Tavern before for a holiday event. We went last year for Father's Day and it was great. So we went for Mother's Day this year. It was an absolute disaster. Just like wn2944 wrote for Easter Brunch, they allowed for WAY too many reservations, which turned the Park Tavern into an absolute zoo. Then all the good tables were reserved for larger parties, leaving us without a seat, even though we paid the same amount per person for the brunch!
Luckily we went early and we didn't have to wait in line. When we left at 1 PM or so, there was a line out of the door, with MANY dissatisfied customers. You could not even get in the place, and you made reservations ahead of time.
The food was ok. Not nearly as good as the year before for Father's Day. They ran out of coffee early on. Yes, a brunch and they didn't have coffee. The omeletes were not made to order. Instead, they just made a plain egg-only omelet and then you as guest put on your own "toppings". Hardly an omelet.
My wife and son went to get dessert at the nice looking chocolate fountain inside. They got 4 chocolate covered strawberries and a couple of marchmallows. They had to wait in line for more than 25 minutes for that! The line simply didn't move. Too many people.
We never saw a waiter. So we had to get all the stuff ourselves. Even clearing off the table wasn't happening. Again, way too many people for the staff they had.
In summary, we will NOT go back. We paid $25 per person for a not-so-great experience. It's obvious they are just trying to make as much money as they can by taking costs out of staff and food, while allowing as many people as possible into the place.
Sad, it was great before...
Could not pay me to go back! – We went to Park Tavern for Easter Brunch. First we had to pay to park. Absolutely ridiculous. We had to stand in line to pay before we were even allowed into the restaurant. I had made reservations over a month before easter but I was not told that there were no assigned tables. We had to stand around with all the people without reservations and wait for others to leave so we could sit down. Not one time during the 1 1/2 hours we were there did a server ever come to our table. never to remove a plate or refil a water. I guess thats why gratuity was included when we paid upon arrival. We had to ask the bartender for salt and were handed a plastic cup with margarita salt in it. The food was typical. Overcooked fish and beef and undercooked potatoes. A great memory for my son's first Easter.
Good drinks! – This place is really cool, it has great food and great drinks. They don't cheap out on the drinks, they are well worth the money. I also loved trying their brewed beer, and its always a good time when I go.
Can't go wrong here...... – you can never go wrong with park tavern!! no matter what time of the year, park tavern is always a good pick! the outdoor patio is perfect in good weather months - even have umbrellas and the like when the sun is super-hot and cozy seats by the fire place (2 of them!!) inside when it's a bit cooler outside! and because of this, they get crazy-busy sometimes. when they are busy, you may have to wait a bit for a table, or for your food, but it is always worth the wait! the food is DEE-LISH and they have a good variety. the servers are also very knowledgable and always have good recomendations. the staff is always friendly -- every body there is having a good time and they want you to join in! one of THE best places to sit and enjoy a drink and watch the sun go down behind the atlanta city sky line! love love love park tavern!!
I love the place ! – The ambiance and what Park Tavern is the best place to go if you want to relax and enjoy every moment that you are eating .. One of the best place that I know I will always go to .. everytime I go downtown ... Very lovely place indeed !
We enjoyed it! – Park Tavern is a perfect place to loosen up. They offer various food and drinks. We headed to this place together with my colleagues on a Friday night and we had a great evening. The food, the service and the place illustrated quality. This is one of our favorite places for a Friday night out .

Let Love Rule: Peace and Violence in the United States of America
Root out the violence in your life, and learn to live compassionately and mindfully. Seek peace. When you have peace within, real peace with others is possible. Thich Nhat Hanh
"The Act of Violence is an extreme cry for understanding peace! When one desires serenity, but is faced with violence (and violence has many faces--not just killing) war is the outcome.
As individuals, we stand. As children, we learn. Parents and other adults within society become the teachers of our culture.
I pray for the families in Newton, Connecticut who have lost their loved ones at the hands of violence!!! I am so sorry for your loss! My heart grieves with yours!!" Madeline A Gouin

Re: Let Love Rule: Peace and Violence in the United States of America
I am still in a state of shock of how this could of happened and the reasons for it. I can only hope and pray that something good can out of all these acts of violence that are happening in the world. My most heartfelt prayers to the families and people affected by this.
On behalf of those that no longer have a voice , I think people need to speak up for them and in some way come together and let one another know we all want peace in the world and we are all compassionate and caring people no matter where we come from.
I want to send a little peace and love to each and everyone of you it would help to heal my wounds and my heartache...
Re: Let Love Rule: Peace and Violence in the United States of America
I live in the safest city in Canada and 5 minutes away this is what you get & why ?
"What's going on?" people clamoured.
They were aghast at an attempted robbery at gunpoint in the middle of the afternoon this week in Windsor.
A kilometre away, in Detroit, this wouldn't even make the news.
Windsor was named one of the safest cities in Canada three weeks ago, with only one murder last year. We went more than two years without a murder before that. Across the river, Detroit, with at least 358 murders this year, has been named the most dangerous city in the U.S., for the fourth straight year.
The difference?
"Strict gun control is probably the most significant factor," Windsor Police Chief Al Frederick told The Star's Dalson Chen.
Six- and seven-year-olds, so young they still look like babies, gunned down in their classrooms in a torrent of bullets. Hearses carrying their small caskets criss-crossing Newtown. Will the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School be the turning point? If the U.S. doesn't act now, it never will.
"These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change," President Barack Obama told a heartbroken nation. "Are we really prepared to say that we're powerless in the face of such carnage? That the politics are too hard? Are we prepared to say such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?"
But he'd said it all before.
The country "cannot and will not be passive in the face of such violence," he said when six people, including a nine-year-old girl, were killed in a shooting in Arizona last year. All Americans "would reflect on how we can do something about some of the senseless violence," he said after 12 people died in a shooting in a movie theatre in Colorado this year.
And nothing was done.
Thirty thousand people a year in the U.S. die at gunpoint, from accidents, suicides and homicides. More Americans die from gunshots in six months than in every terrorist attack in the last 25 years and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote. It's high noon all the time.
Yet owning a gun in the U.S. is like a civil right. The right to bear arms, enshrined in the Constitution eight years after the revolutionary war, referred to the need for militias to guarantee the new country's security. But somehow, more than 200 years later, the supreme court has ruled that individuals have the right to bear arms. It's like a vestige of the wild west, never quite tamed. Children's toys and most consumer goods are regulated more than guns.
A cop in Newtown told The Globe and Mail he's astounded by the proliferation of guns in his small town. The police answer a call for a domestic assault, and there are usually three or four guns. It's a powder keg. No one needs assault weapons and high capacity clips to defend themselves, hunt or target shoot. These are weapons of war.
Obsessed with foreign terrorist attacks, the U.S. has been unmoved by attacks from within.
But now, for the first time in a long time, after unspeakable horror, there appears to be some will to deal with America's gun problem. Obama declared Wednesday he will make gun control a "central issue." He is demanding "concrete proposals" by January and vowing to push for new laws "without delay." He is said to support reinstating a ban on assault weapons, limiting high-capacity clips that allow the user to shoot many times without reloading and extending background checks to people buying from private dealers.
Legislators backed by the powerful gun lobby the National Rifle Association have said it's time to talk about gun control and they're not afraid of the consequences. "Enough is enough," one said. The shooting at Sandy Hook "has changed us," said another, "and everything should be on the table."
A private investment firm that owns the country's largest manufacturer of guns and ammunition is selling the company, which makes the Bushmaster rifle used in the shooting at Sandy Hook. The firm called the shooting a "watershed event" and said that while they are not lawmakers, "there are, however, actions that we as a firm can take."
Now is the time to mourn, but now, while there is the will, is also the time to act. Yes, these killings are complex. Restricting guns is only part of the solution, and it won't prevent mass shootings. But, like speed limits and seat belts, it will lower the risk and save lives. Australia imposed strict new gun laws after 35 people died in a shooting spree in 1996. In the 10 years after, the risk of dying from a gunshot was cut in half.
Lawmakers in half a dozen states say they will now consider allowing teachers and administrators to carry guns in schools. Sales of armoured backpacks designed to shield kids caught in shootings are reported to be increasing. A marine and Iraqi war veteran stood guard outside an elementary school in California all day Wednesday. The principal said she felt safer. It's insanity. Is this any way to live, to raise children? Is the right to bear arms worth a culture of fear?
In the U.S., nothing right now, including the fiscal cliff, is more important than dealing with guns. If the U.S. doesn't act now, it is sanctioning the next massacre
Re: Let Love Rule: Peace and Violence in the United States of America
You have spoken, eloquently, regarding your position. Great job!! And yes, your point is valid! Just remember: just as illegal drugs exist, so too guns!! They go hand in hand! And, laws do not, in themselves, take away product!! Nor, do laws always protect!! In addition, enforcement of laws become skewed interpretations and there lies part of the mess and understandably, why people defend freedoms. And, unfortunately, this same mess is why people are murdered! Wrong perceptions, skewed interpretations, and . . . .
Madeline Gouin
Re: Let Love Rule: Peace and Violence in the United States of America
Just a dream, but, if we could just completely get rid of guns....if EVERYONE, nations, neighborhoods, families, whatever, were forced to settle their disputes with ways other than weapons, if they simply were not available.... I know, like I said, just a dream.
If any good came from this, it has absolutely opened discussion more than the past incidents (sad but true). I don't think it will go away quietly this time.
Re: Let Love Rule: Peace and Violence in the United States of America
Thank you for the reports. It´s nice to see really mindful persons on the forum. I hope I will be able to follow you (cos of the language).
Randy thank you for your explanation. Very interesting and revealing.
Yes, the US and the rest of the world have a "gun-problem". Or better said: the people who think that they need guns, have problems. Their problem is called FEAR. Like Madeline said: wrong perceptions, skewed interpretations....
When a 20 years old "child" kills 20 primary school kids... means...something goes wrong. Let us older parents think about : what have we taught our children? what signals have we set? which way do we live? what way do we go? our children follow us!
If we are honest, then we will notice that FEAR is all around us. The fear to survive. The fear to exist (do I come through? do I overcome? do I withstand? do I endure?) The fear not be rich enough. The fear not to be beauty enough, The fear not to be loved. The fear to get no attention. The fear what others think about us..... and so on
But as long as we all do not fight against FEAR ( the fear of the children that are not be loved and the fear of the weapon industrie that is still not rich enough) those and other massacres will happen again and again.
So dear "LET LOVE RULE" Followers , please let us all sow the seeds of love. Teach love instead of fear. Love your children and everybody else the way they are! Do not judge, do not assess, do not measure and do not evaluate in a fear-producing way. Give Love and Smile - till Fear vanishes in the air.
Behind every form of life or situation or happening, if you go deep down to the ground of reason, you will find : LOVE or FEAR.
All FEAR must be transformed into LOVE , then PEACE will come.
More than anything in this world:
