X-wing Starfighter
The X-wing is a versatile Rebel Alliance starfighter that balances speed with firepower. Armed with four laser cannons and two proton torpedo launchers, the X-wing can take on anything the Empire throws at it. Nimble engines give the X-wing an edge during dogfights, and it can make long-range jumps with its hyperdrive and its astromech droid co-pilot. Luke Skywalker is famous for destroying the Death Star behind the controls of an X-wing.

Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker was a Tatooine farmboy who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known. Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his parentage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith.
A resourceful astromech droid, R2-D2 served Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker in turn, showing great bravery in rescuing his masters and their friends from many perils. A skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot's assistant, he formed an unlikely but enduring friendship with the fussy protocol droid C-3PO.
Rebel Alliance
The Rebel Alliance stood bravely against the evil of the Galactic Empire, never backing down despite overwhelming odds. Formed by Bail Organa and Mon Mothma after the Clone Wars, the Rebellion worked in secret for decades to overthrow the Emperor and restore democracy to the galaxy. Eventually, armed with the firepower of ships like the X-wing and A-wing, and the leadership of figures including Princess Leia and Admiral Ackbar, the Rebel Alliance triumphed over the Empire at the Battle of Endor.
Y-wing Starfighter
The Y-wing is a workhorse starfighter has been in use since the Clone Wars. Used for dogfights and for bombing runs against capital ships and ground targets, Y-wings are often overshadowed by newer models such as the X-wing and the A-wing. But the Y-wing's historical importance is remarkable, and it has reliably served multiple generations of star pilots.
Death Star
The Death Star was the Empire's ultimate weapon: a moon-sized space station with the ability to destroy an entire planet. But the Emperor and Imperial officers like Grand Moff Tarkin underestimated the tenacity of the Rebel Alliance, who refused to bow to this technological terror…
TIE Fighter
The TIE fighter is the unforgettable symbol of the Imperial fleet. Carried aboard Star Destroyers and battle stations, TIE fighters are single-pilot vehicles designed for fast-paced dogfights with Rebel X-wings and other starfighters. The iconic TIE fighter led to other models in the TIE family including the dagger-shaped TIE Interceptor and the explosive-laden TIE bomber. The terrifying roar of a TIE's engines strikes fear into the hearts of all enemies of the Empire.

Electrolytes are minerals in your blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge.
Electrolytes affect the amount of water in your body, the acidity of your blood (pH), your muscle function, and other important processes. You lose electrolytes when you sweat. You must replace them by drinking fluids that contain electrolytes. Water does not contain electrolytes.
Common electrolytes include:
Electrolytes can be acids, bases, and salts.
They can be measured by laboratory studies of the blood in different ways. Each electrolyte can be ordered as a separate test, such as:
Note: Serum is the part of blood that doesn't contain cells.
Sodium, potassium, and chloride can also be ordered as part of an electrolyte panel, a basic metabolic panel or a comprehensive metabolic panel.
The electrolytes - urine test measures electrolytes in urine. It usually measures the levels of calcium, chloride, potassium, or sodium.

Clubfoot is when the foot turns inward and downward. It is a congenital condition, which means it is present at birth.
Talipes equinovarus; Talipes
Clubfoot is the most common congenital disorder of the legs. It can range from mild and flexible to severe and rigid.
The cause is not known, but the condition may be passed down through families in some cases. Risk factors include a family history of the disorder and being male. The condition occurs in about 1 out of every 1,000 live births.
The physical appearance of the foot may vary. One or both feet may be affected.
The foot turns inward and downward at birth, and is difficult to place in the correct position. The calf muscle and foot may be slightly smaller than normal.
The disorder is identified during a physical examination. A foot x-ray may be done.
Treatment may involve moving the foot into the correct position and using a cast to keep it there. This is often done by an orthopedic specialist. Treatment should be started as early as possible -- ideally, shortly after birth -- when it is easiest to reshape the foot.
Gentle stretching and recasting will be done every week to improve the position of the foot. Generally, five to 10 casts are needed. The final cast will stay in place for 3 weeks. After the foot is in the correct position, the child will wear a special brace nearly full time for 3 months. Then, the child will wear the brace at night and during naps for up to 3 years.
Often, the problem is a tightened Achilles tendon, and a simple procedure is needed to release it.
Some severe cases of clubfoot will need surgery if other treatments do not work, or if the problem returns. The child should be monitored by a health care provider until the foot is fully grown. See: Clubfoot repair
The outcome is usually good with treatment.
Some defects may not be completely fixed. However, treatment can improve the appearance and function of the foot. Treatment may be less successful if the clubfoot is linked to other birth disorders.
If your child is being treated for clubfoot, call your health care provider if:

I think chuck norris will walk out of the Tardis and give a roundhouse kick to olga, just to end this before it gets worse. I don't honestly know. I really can't predict these really well. Once you kind of think about it, one of the possible reasons I think why BeeAre posts in these forums is to get our reaction, and piss us off later, using our predictions to figure out what would shock us the most.
Havoc751 wrote:Mon-Kitsune wrote:I'd say AT LEAST early 30's. All that training he had as a child probably took quite a while, and then we have all his Aku fighting time which must be quite a few years. He may even already be in his 40's by now; he doesn't look that old, but he does seem to take pretty good care of himself as part of his training (and not to get racial, but statiscally (according to the article in last month's National Geograpic The Japanese do have a an unusually high number of males gentically inclined to live long and age well.)
Actually Jack as he is in the comic is a bit of an age paradox. The TV series shows clearly (in the episode with the time portal and the blue swordsman that Jack is ancient by the time he finally defeats Aku (and is entitled to use the time portal) So either the Snafu comic happens in a universe parallel to that one (one in which either Jack hasn't faced Aku yet or beat him at a much younger age, and in either case wound up in the present age (as opposed to either the future or his own time).
I looked on the Samurai Jack Wikia, Google searched samurai jack's age, and even asked BR. But I could not come up with anything about Jack's age. I still say his age rang would be somewhere between, early 20's to late 20's, possibly early 30's, but I still say early 20's. I don't think he'd be anywhere close to his 40's, because he doesn't appear to have any, wrinkles, crows feet, grey hair, or anything that indicates middle-age. Also, I'm not so sure Buttercup would fall for him if he was too old, but that's just me.
Also, Mon. When I asked BeeAre about Jack's age, he said:BeeAre wrote:However old he is at the end of the current show's continuity and maybe tops two or so years.
So either it took him two years to find away back in time, or when he traveled back in time, he arrived two years prior to the PPG moving to Megaville.
Yeah, he has to be around his 30s... Early 30s that is!
Havoc751 wrote:CTCFirebird wrote:Yes, I know about the rumors very well. Even if those rumors are a bit shady to this point that we're currently in. Uh... I disagree with you about that thing with why Brisbane is not there. My POV is that Brisbane has his own company and is the CEO of his business. He has to run it. If anything, Brisbane can be at the place for a short period of time and just leave to go back to work.
I was under the impression Brisbane was part of the government. I mean that's not to say he works/runs some sort of private research facility, or something. There's a lot we don't know about him, or the RRB.
As for him being Dr.X, it's just a rumor, and a flimsy one at that. As a matter a fact, this page seems to somewhat contradict this claim. You can clearly see, was seems to be Bell's father in human form. That's not to say Dr.X can shape-shift or something.
Also, there's something else about Dr.X that was mentioned in Black and White. Something rather surprising, and important, but I don't know if it's canon in this comic or not.
True, there's alot we don't know about Dr.X. I think we could guess about the RRBs.
I know. That link there... You assume that's Dr. X as Dr. Brisbane in human form? It could be someone we don't know about. Heh, the man looks like Kunzite from Sailor Moon. I never said nor didn't I ever say that he couldn't shape-shift. I think you're thinking that Dr. X has the power to resurrect someone. I don't doubt that. He seems like he can give Samurai Jack a run for his money and would be ultimately difficult to go up against. Dr.X seems like a Darkstalkers character
Havoc751 wrote:CTCFirebird wrote:Since that explosion happened, I think that the RowdyRuff Boys will make another appearance by during their training at Brisbane's and notice a huge gigantic light. That light will disrupt their training. I think Brisbane will see it as well, worry about I.M Weasel and tell the RowdyRuff Boys to go and check on him to see if he's ok and if he's in any trouble, help him. I could see that happening...
If Brisbane's working for the Dark Star, then I think it's completely possible he's somehow keeping the RRB from interfering with what's going on. Now that I think about it, the fact that he resurrected the RowdyRough Boys, could be evidences that he's working for the wrong side. I mean the RRB are one of the only villain to actually defeat the Powerpuff Girls in combat.
Has that been confirmed that he's working for the Dark Star? True. They did and tied the first fight. Not sure about the second. The third wasn't really a battle. Not sure how someone could be defeated by laughing. Not sure how PPG could come up with a plan like that when they basically planned on the destruction of Princess Morebucks' machines. Not mentioning anything on the fourth appearance. Agh! The boys were never actually defeated by the girls in their episodes. Except that they tied on their debut. Fight fire with fire... Fire always wins
TheMadDoctor wrote:you know what, I'm gonna think less logical and more like a writer. As they are the ones who do the last thing you'd expect, which is (unfortunately) the last thing you'd want them to do. It's a start for me, as all I see is people trying to figure out something that would make sense, not what would make it good. As for the I.M. weasel not calling the RRBs, it would make sense that they are not ready for deployment yet, as that would blow the projects secret. You know it's a secret project, when they label it with a code name. You also know it's in development, when they are also doing a training exercise, when last seen.
You do that, MadDoc I dunno man. I don't think the RRBs need training. They need more of an education. It's what I keep saying since the PPGs have a bit of trouble going up against them. Only way the PPGs can defeat them is using feminine wiles, but I do agree that Project: ROWDY must remain a secret. Meh... I guess its the battle between Brain vs Braun just to balance it out, but the thing is, is that Bubbles isn't doing anything there. Not much protection against those monsters. That blast of light is just too hard to ignore. Oy Just put the freakin RRBs in that Matrix thing so they can learn Kung Fu and many other styles that would make them like a 'machine' like Neo and go Super Saiyan. <sighs> Their last mission should be is to get an education.
Mad-Mutt wrote:I'm going to just throw this out there, even though I might be the minority in thinking this.
But I would kind of like to see the RRB be villains.
For all we know they are, because they've barley appeared and we don't know their motivations in this comic. So who knows.
They were created to be the whole "Evil Twin" thing and be some villains who could actually go toe-to-toe with the girls like they are their equals. And I like them better in that regard (even though I don't really like them that much) than as good guys.
Well, I might like them if they're like a little good, but still dicks like Vegeta when he was just starting to turn good. They might help out sometimes, but you still don't trust them.
I guess I just like them better in an antagonistic role. It could just be because almost everyone in the PPG fandom tries to make the RRB good and I'm just bored of it. Its not that I hate the idea of them being good guys, I'm just indifferent about it.
They don't seem to actually be villains. And that's judging from all their episodes. Except for the debut episode. I dunno, I keep thinking that they're Anti-Hero's who's been under the influence of evil. I guess in this webcomic, it kinda supports that when Butch was about to blast Jenny into pieces, Brick stopped him and Brisbane was like impressed.
I dunno about that whole "Evil Twin" thing, Mad-Mutt. I mean, when you have Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice and Snips, Snails and Puppy Dog Tails. How could you call that a clone or doppelganger of some sort by those ingredients? Chemical X is what gave both the RRBs and PPGs their life and powers and kinda their personality. Even if it does seem like they look like each other, I would say "they're not." I remember in the RRBs debut episode, Blossom asked "What's up with those guys" instead of any of them ever saying that they look alike. And why in the blue hell would you wanna kiss your own clone and say that you kinda like kissing? In Ultimate Spider-Man, Jessica Drew AKA Spider-Woman is the female clone of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Even it was acknowledged right there in their meeting with one another was that she said she is the female clone of him, but you don't see them kissing each other or anything like that. Hell, I don't think either of us would wanna kiss an opposite sex clone of ours and/or even same sex clone.
That would be pretty cool though. THAT is something I see happening in the possibilities of this webcomic.
DUDE... Vegeta's AWESOME!!! How can he be a dick? I mean, I like Goku alot better, but C'MON... Over 9,000- Best quote. I can't believe you said that! Even if he's the rebel of the team, its fun with him around (DON'T think of anything perverted with that statement, people)
Anyways, that last comment is understandable!
Havoc751 wrote:I kinda like the idea of them being anti-heroes. As you put it, like Vegeta. Where they start to become good guys, but there're some issues with there alliance. But gradually, they start to become better and better. If they are straight up evil and antagonistic, then I kinda hope they get killed. Just because if they make the transition to good, than there's a lot of interesting character development to be had. However if they stay evil, than I really don't see myself staying invested in their character for too long. But I could be wrong.
I think that was the idea. Why do you hope that?

Sanitary Bulk Bag Conditioner Loosens Bulk Solid Material
Flexicon Corporation has introduced a new Sanitary Bulk Bag Conditioner for loosening of bulk solid material that has solidified during storage and shipment, allowing bulk bag unloaders to discharge it through bag spouts.
An optional hydraulically-actuated, variable-height turntable allows conditioning of the bag at all heights on all sides. The number and pressure of hydraulic ram actuations, the height of the turntable, and the number of 90-degree rotations are user adjustable.
The sanitary model is intended for bulk bags containing solidified bulk food and other contamination-sensitive products that cannot be loosened using pneumatically-actuated flow promotion devices integral to bulk bag dischargers. Carbon steel models with durable industrial coatings are offered for general industrial applications.

Learn the three principles of force to help you determine where to place your hands, what direction to push, and how much force to use when helping your clients stretch. Discover safer and more effective ways to stretch your clients to aid in muscle recovery, as well as techniques for specific areas of the body.
You will learn:
User Comments: All very good information, the location of hands on soft tissue was not something i generally thought about.
User Comments: Very poor quality for the money. There was nothing here I didnt already know and the format - basically an online handout - was pretty sad. I guess I hoped I would learn some new tricks...I wouldnt recommend this; if the information was new to someone, it was sort of confusing - the quiz questions were poorly worded. I am not likely to purchase an online course from ACE again, based on this experience. But I still think ACE is great, overall.
User Comments:
The course is clear and concise- the pictures are easy to follow. I mostly teach dancers and do a lot of stretching with them- this course verified what I already do and helped me to understand where to apply force during assisted stretching. I have not taken other stretching courses so can't compare in that way. It could have used more info/review into what happens at the cellular level for muscles to lengthen. I would also have liked to review the stretch reflex- I think with assisted stretching it would be easy to overstretch someone and a discussion of what that looks/feels like would have been helpful.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for the helpful feedback!
This course had some usefully stretches and the text explaining the hand placement was easy to follow but it is unacceptable that there wasn't accompanying video to visually demonstrate the stretches as opposed to the grainy photos that were provided. This made the course seem outdated and compromised the usefulness of the text.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for the helpful feedback! We are looking at updating this course.
Something is wrong with the system. It wouldn't advance to the next question on the quiz unless I clicked to another page and then back again. So, the quiz took me almost 2.5hrs to complete.
ACE RESPONSE: Thank you for letting us know about this issue. We have looked into it, and this quiz currently seems to be working correctly. If you have any other issues, please contact ACE at 1-800-825-3636.
User Comments: I DID NOT FIND THIS COURSE HELPFUL AT ALL BECAUSE THE MATERIAL WAS BASICALLY COMMON SENSE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD IF THE MATERIAL HAD GOTTEN MORE TECHNICAL INSTEAD OF STAYING SO BASIC.
User Comments: Poor wording on hand placement: same hand placement states above the ankle on one and below the ankle on the other... Wrong nomenclature: peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves of the peripheral system, ie, feet and legs. Nothing to do with the low back. Need to use a different work for the desription of what is causing the low back pain.
I enjoyed the course, and I like how it was presented. Simplicity, works
User Comments: Really needs to be supported with a DVD.
User Comments: The pictures definitely help folks like me who are visual learners. Thanks Jim
User Comments: This was a quick, and informative CEC. The PDF manual was easy to follow.
User Comments: Was quick and easy to read. Not overloaded with information just the essential basics which can be easily applied. PDF format is saved to your computer so can easily go back and review content for future reference
User Comments: It was VERY repetitive, but all very basic general knowledge.
User Comments: Good material. Brought up some good points. Would Recommend. Took about 3 hours to complete.
User Comments: Great stretches and technique that the industry has failed to promote.
User Comments: Good concept.
User Comments: Very well done. Easy to follow and provided good reminders when stretching.
very repetitive and simplistic. I expected more from an ACE CEU course.
I couldn't agree more with your opinion. I was very disapppointed with the content ! Overall this course does not teach more than a handful of stretches - and all of them are commonly used and hardly new to most Professionals .
User Comments: This course is a vailable service tool for Personal Trainers...Also great foundation on Physiology and Biomechanics... Defenitly recomende ...

Barry Callebaut first to collaborate with Rainforest Alliance to train cocoa farmers in Cameroon
- 1,000 farmers from five cooperatives to receive training on sustainable agriculture
- Special focus on strengthening farmer organizations to improve traceability
- Close collaboration with Rainforest Alliance continues
Zurich/Switzerland, August 17, 2012 – Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate, has begun training members of five farmer cooperatives in the Central region of Cameroon to enable them to become independently certified by Rainforest Alliance. Approximately 1,000 farmers will receive training in the next 12 months. This is an extension of the already successful collaboration between Barry Callebaut and the prominent independent certification body that began in Ivory Coast in 2010.
"We see a great opportunity to start work with farmer organizations and producers in Cameroon who are interested in improving yields and quality by growing cocoa in a sustainable way," said Nicholas Camu, Group Manager "Cocoa Horizons". "It's the first time these farmer groups are taking a serious look at the potential benefits of training to achieve certification. We're proud to be collaborating with the Rainforest Alliance to help enable these pioneering cooperatives reach their ambitious sustainability goals."
"Cocoa Horizons" is Barry Callebaut's ambitious CHF 40 million cocoa sustainability initiative, launched in March 2012 and designed to boost farm productivity, increase quality and improve family livelihoods in key cocoa producing countries in West and Central Africa, Indonesia and Brazil over the next 10 years.
Barry Callebaut staff in Cameroon will deliver the training in Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and provide support in setting up internal control systems and improving administrative procedures at the cooperatives, with support of the Rainforest Alliance.
"We are pleased to be working with Barry Callebaut and Cameroon farmers on this ground-breaking and challenging new venture – the first comprehensive training program to be launched in Cameroon with farmers who aspire to achieve the sustainability standards of Rainforest Alliance certification," said Eric Servat, Senior Manager of the Cocoa Program at the Rainforest Alliance.
"We've seen the positive results of training on farmer livelihoods in Ivory Coast, where we are also working closely with Barry Callebaut and farmer cooperatives, and we applaud Barry Callebaut for expanding its initiative to Central Africa and for its long-term commitment to cocoa farmers in Cameroon," he added. "The Rainforest Alliance works with people whose livelihoods depend on the land and this cooperation underscores our efforts to bring responsibly produced goods and services to a global marketplace where the demand for sustainability is growing steadily."
The certification training activities build on the success of Barry Callebaut's own Quality Partner Program (QPP) with farmer cooperatives, started in Ivory Coast in 2005 and launched in Cameroon in 2010.
The Rainforest Alliance certification standard includes economic, social and environmental criteria, with an emphasis on environmental issues, including protection of natural resources and the management of chemical inputs such as fertilizer and pesticide. For more information on Rainforest Alliance: www.rainforestalliance.org.
Barry Callebaut:
With annual sales of about CHF 4.6 billion (EUR 3.6 billion/USD 5.0 billion) for fiscal year 2010/11, Zurich-based Barry Callebaut is the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate – from the cocoa bean to the finished chocolate product. Barry Callebaut is present in 27 countries, operates around 40 production facilities and employs a diverse and dedicated workforce of about 6,000 people. Barry Callebaut serves the entire food industry focusing on industrial food manufacturers, artisans and professional users of chocolate (such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs or bakers), the latter with its two global brands Callebaut® and Cacao Barry®. Barry Callebaut is the global leader in cocoa and chocolate innovations and provides a comprehensive range of services in the fields of product development, processing, training and marketing. Cost leadership is another important reason why global as well as local food manufacturers work together with Barry Callebaut. Through its broad range of sustainability initiatives and research activities, the company works with farmers, farmer organizations and other partners to help ensure future supplies of cocoa and improve farmer livelihoods.

Re: need help with my warrior dps

Your first trinket is useless.
You're missing enchants.
You're under expertise cap. You will have yellow attacks be dodged sometimes, which obviously hurts your dps. Until you have 215 expertise rating this is your most important stat.
You're under 35% crit, which means flurry will not be up all the time. This hurts your dps a good bit. Until you get to 35% crit, crit is more important than str.
You need to regem to meet these caps until you get better gear.
Are you making sure to heroic strike/cleave when you have excess rage?(60+)
Honestly, you're under geared for icc10. You can't compare a warrior to a dk because warriors are much, much more gear dependent than dks are. In fact, they are the most gear dependent class. In other words, a dk will do good dps in less gear than a warrior will, but a warrior has a higher top end when he is in his best gear.
I would encourage you to read the other posts in this warrior forum as well.

Your hit is and would not be over the hard cap at like 783 hit with the mark of supremacy. In other words, hit still benefits you a little, but not nearly as much as any other stat really.
As I said, your expertise is your most important stat right now. Get it to at minimum 215 rating.
Wow heroes says icc10 is yellow for you right? That means you're under geared. If people will let you go then by all means go! You'll get geared faster that way. Don't be surprised when you're refused because of gear though.
BTW...a slight modification to your rotation...
use ww-bt-slam when fighting multiple targets. Use Cleave for excess rage.
use bt-ww-slam when fighting a single target. Use Heroic Strike for excess rage.
At your current gear level I think that bt will actually get you more dps if it's higher in the priority list.
Oh, and a sidenote...don't listen to me because I'm geared. I know alot of geared idiots. Listen to me because I don't stand in fire, because I know the math, and because I do 12k dps single target on marrowgar in the gear that I have. I am not -that- geared and have a ways to go before being in all BiS. I do, however, know my class very well.

In a previous life, I was a DJ and the lasers were one of my favorite parts of the nightclub (aside from the music). I have always been enamored by these amazing devices that shoot coherent beams of light out of them.

Boardwalk Empire Yacht Party
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011Michael Killmer, Templeton Rye Brand Manager and Brand Ambassador for Chicago, teamed up with HBO and LivingSocial for the Exclusive Boardwalk Empire Season Two Yacht Party in Chicago on Sunday, September 25. The cruise was a ticketed event by LivingSocial with 160 people in attendance.
Fashioned in their finest 1920s-inspired attire, the patrons hopped aboard the Prohibition era cruise to celebrate the return of the Boardwalk Empire series. The luxury yacht from Kanan Cruises was decked out in roaring twenties style with Templeton Rye décor and barrels. As they set sail from Navy Pier, patrons had the chance to participate in a variety of mob-friendly activities. The three-hour yacht party included blackjack instruction in the gambling parlor, cigar-rolling lessons, appetizers, whiskey tastings, a Templeton Rye Manhattan cocktail demonstration and an exclusive sneak peek of the Season 2 premiere.
Patrons were invited to partake in a whiskey tasting where they sipped on samples of Templeton Rye, along with three bourbons, including Woodford Reserve, Bulliet and Buffalo Trace. After the whiskey tasting and education and a viewing of the Boardwalk Empire trailer, they visited Michael Killmer at the Templeton Rye Manhattan demo station (all product provided by Kanan Cruises), where he taught them the history and proper procedure for making the Templeton Manhattan and gave them the opportunity to make their own.
Here are a few photos from the event.

Thursday, March 7, 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a letter to the recently appointed director of the Air National Guard, U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., along with U.S. Reps. Carol Shea-Porter, N.H.-1, and Annie Kuster, N.H.-2, expressed continued support for Pease Air National Guard Base and the 157th Air Refueling Wing to receive the KC-46A tanker.
As the single manager for global, land and sea transportation for the Department of Defense, USTRANSCOM is one of the military's primary operators of refueling aircraft. Shaheen spoke with Fraser at length about the Pease's unique capabilities that would make the transition of the new generation tankers efficient and cost-effective.
Shaheen and Ayotte serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Shea-Porter serves on the House Armed Services Committee.

Grantee Spotlights
Domestic Violence Grantee Spotlight
Battered Women's Justice Project
The Battered Women's Justice Project is one of the few domestic violence programs in the country with demonstrated experience in engaging military and domestic violence organizations to build a coordinated military-civilian response to domestic violence crimes committed by military personnel.
The Avon Foundation for Women has supported the development of an e-learning course, "Safety at Home – Intimate Partner Violence, Military Personnel, and Veterans." This course increases the capacity of advocates to work more effectively with military-related victims and to address the issues of veterans during batterer's treatment. It also offers insight and support to social service and mental health practitioners who are working with these victims and their families.
The online course, which supplements the Department of Justice-funded program, "Building Effective Civilian Responses to Military-Related Victims of Intimate Partner Violence¸" is comprised of eight modules. Each self-paced module includes mini-lectures, case studies, practice scenarios and self-assessment. The following modules are currently available online:
- Context of Violence
- Risk and Danger
- Combat Stress
- Co-Occurring Conditions and Intimate Partner Violence
We will continue to update our links as more modules become available.
Breast Cancer Grantee Spotlight
Food & Friends
For the past decade, Food & Friends has been transforming the lives of those facing breast cancer and their families through its "Pink Ribbon Delivery Program." The program has provided 1 million home-delivered, nutritious meals and specialized nutrition support to more than 2,250 breast cancer clients and their families in the Washington D.C. metro region, the majority of whom live in poverty.
The impact this program has had on its community comes in large part because of the support of the Avon Foundation for Women, which has contributed $3.63 million since 2001 and was the major source of initial funding behind the program. In 2013, as a result of funding provided by the Avon Foundation, Food & Friends will home-deliver more than 196,000 meals to more than 500 clients, including its 1 millionth meal.
"Many clients living with breast cancer have families to support and are emotionally and financially stressed," says Executive Director Craig Shniderman and 10-year Avon Walk participant, better known at times as his drag queen counterpart, "Ivanna Beat Breast Cancer." "Our services provide a safety net for many who are ill and in need. The life-sustaining meals we provide to our clients not only offer vital nutrition, but also crucial stress relief from the many burdens of living with a serious illness."
Food & Friends is a regular participant in the Washington DC Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. The organization recruits Walk teams, cheers Walkers along the route, and caters lunch on the second day of the Walk — not to mention making between more than 5,000 cookies for D.C. Walkers.
Breast Cancer Grantee Spotlight
Georgetown Lombardi
Comprehensive Cancer Center
The Avon Foundation for Women provides funds to the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of Georgetown University Medical Center and Georgetown University Hospital, to conduct cutting-edge research and provide screenings and care for women facing breast cancer.
Dr. Bassem Haddad, associate professor of oncology, studies genetic changes in healthy cells that may be involved in causing cancer. The Avon Foundation has provided $700,000 to fund Dr. Haddad's team to develop new ways to screen for the earliest changes in the breast — by screening fluid directly from the breast, called ductal lavage.
Dr. Haddad is examining the cells collected in breast fluid and looking at changes — so-called metabolomic and micro-RNA markers — to see if these markers can improve breast cancer screening and early detection. His pioneering work was selected to be presented at the 2013 American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting in April 2013.
The cornerstone of the community work — founded in partnership with Lombardi, MedStar Health and Avon Foundation — is the Capital Breast Care Center (CBCC).
The CBCC was established because of unacceptably high mortality rates from breast cancer in the D.C. area, particularly among minority women. With Avon support totaling $6.5 million since its founding in 2004, CBCC reaches out to the community and helps navigate women into getting screened, and if needed, into treatment.
Today, CBCC serves 2,000 women each year, most of whom do not have health insurance and who have not had a recent mammogram.

Honor Our Voices
More than half of the residents of battered women's shelters in the United States are children1. To combat this, an innovative online training program, Honor Our Voices, aims to elevate children's voices, so that domestic violence service providers may better hear, understand, and respond to the children and families they serve.
The project was created by the Minnesota Center Against Violence and Abuse (MINCAVA) and the Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare at the School of Social Work at the University of Minnesota, with grant support from the Avon Foundation for Women.
Honor Our Voices features a range of online stories, told by children who have experienced domestic violence firsthand. Website visitors gain invaluable information about child exposure to domestic abuse.
"This learning experience is informed by some of the best practitioners and researchers in the field," says Jeffrey Edleson, former professor of social work at the University of Minnesota and one of the world's leading authorities on children exposed to domestic violence. "It provides a unique focus on the needs of children from the children's perspectives."
The stories on the website are composites of real-life experiences and are told through a combination of diary entries, pictures, and audio clips. Alongside each entry, current research and effective practices related to the content are highlighted.
"With information gained from this site, professionals will be able to better respond to the needs of these children," Edleson says. "And it is freely available for those professionals working on the front lines to complete at their own pace while sitting at their desk or at home."
Practitioners and advocates are invited to visit the site for new tips and perspectives in working with this vulnerable population.

Safe Horizon
The Avon Foundation for Women awarded a $250,000 grant to Safe Horizon in August 2012 to expand its Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI) program, which provides counseling intervention services to children who have been affected by domestic violence.
The expansion of the CFTSI program will support the more than 3,000 children living in Safe Horizon domestic violence shelters throughout New York City. Programs such as these ensure children who have witnessed family violence will have access to services that reduce traumatic stress.
"With these funds, we will be able to reach many more children who've become victims of domestic violence," said Ariel Zwang, CEO of Safe Horizon. "[We will be able to] provide the interventional counseling services that are vital to their futures."
Safe Horizon is the largest victims' services agency in the United States, with more than 50 locations touching the lives of 250,000 children, adults, and families affected by crime and abuse throughout New York City each year. Since 1978, Safe Horizon has provided a wide range of comprehensive support to victims of domestic violence, child abuse, human trafficking, rape, and sexual assault, as well as homeless youth and families of homicide victims.

San Francisco General Hospital
The Avon Comprehensive Breast Care Center at San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) Medical and Trauma Center is the entry point for most patients at the hospital who require breast evaluation. Since 2011, the Avon Foundation for Women has awarded the Avon Comprehensive Breast Cancer Center more than $22.2 million for breast cancer research, community outreach and education, and "safety net" medical care. Each year, the center serves more than 21,000 patients, many of whom are uninsured and come from underserved minority populations.
Through the support of Avon Foundation funding, SFGH:
- uses a mobile mammography outreach van (a "mammovan")
- built an imaging center
- quadrupled its screening capacity
- increased free counseling and testing for ethnically diverse women
- developed a DVD on cancer risk
Avon Foundation-funded research at SFGH includes tissue banking, laboratory research, and behavioral research on topics such as decision-making support, clinical trials barriers, and access to information.
SFGH has a Women's Cancer Network that provides financial and social support, and it also trains patient navigators, including Spanish-speaking navigators. Support groups at SFGH include the Circulo de Vida "Anjelitas program," which pairs Latinas diagnosed with breast cancer with Latina breast cancer survivors; and Cancer Awareness Resources and Education (CARE), which provides education and psychosocial support to cancer patients who receive their medical care at SFGH in English, Spanish, and Cantonese.
