Preckwinkle: More money for summer jobs for youth in high-crime areas
BY LISA DONOVAN Cook County Reporter email@example.com June 18, 2012 9:10AM
Updated: July 20, 2012 6:14AM
Saying "we have to do more to halt violence in our neighborhoods," Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle announced Monday that $120,000 will be funneled to a city-county summer youth jobs program for Chicago kids living in high-crime areas.
That's in addition to the $145,000 in grant money the county has directed to "One Summer Plus" a city-county initiative that Preckwinkle says will benefit 700 Chicago teens attending more than a dozen schools "with the highest risk of violence." All told, the $265,000 from the county will be used to pay for the mentoring part of the jobs program. Kids will be paired with a mentor who will advise them on a range of issues, including what to expect at a jobsite, as well as ensuring they're getting to work on time. It's the county doing its part to help kids who live in communities plagued by violence, Preckwinkle said. "This has been a very troubling summer in terms of the level of violence, particularly on our weekends. I dread reading the Monday morning papers, to see how many people have been shot and how many, particularly young people, have lost their lives," she said, citing a Sun-Times story about 16-year-old girl killed in the West Englewood neighborhood. "And when you're faced with that kind of spike in violence you need to figure out what you can do to be supportive of the efforts to reduce it, and this is one of the things we're going to do," she said, adding at one point: "We have to do more to halt violence in our neighborhoods." Asked whether the program would help kids deep in gang activity, Preckwinkle said it may not — but it may steer kids on the margins in the right direction. "This program might not impact those who have made a deliberate choice to engage in criminal or anti-social conduct, but there are all kinds of kids kind of around the edges," she said. Commissioner Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, a Southwest Side Democrat, told reporters he got his first summer job under the Richard J. Daley summer program in the late 1960s and can "truly appreciate" the importance of increasing funding for the program. "There are many young people throughout the city who desperately need an opportunity to do good things during the summer," Garcia said, as he stood next to the late mayor's son, Commissioner John Daley. The added $120,000 in taxpayer money Preckwinkle announced comes from a county fund used to provide matching dollars for any grant money the county receives, according to county Budget Director Andrea Gibson. "We've often said a kid only gets to be 16 or 17 one time and for someone to have an opportunity to have a job — maybe the first time they've had a job — could be a turning point in their life," said Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer, a North Side Democrat. Gainer had proposed using an unexpected $160,000 — to date — in amusement tax receipts to the county from Lollapalooza ticket sales for summer youth jobs. The money is coming in to the county after music festival organizers agreed to stop asking for a tax exemption — a free ride highlighted in a Sun-Times report last year. But Preckwinkle said that would require cutting through bureaucratic red tape and reopening budget proceedings. One Summer Plus falls under the multi-million dollar One Summer Chicago umbrella, which is touted as a partnership of local government, community groups and non-profits, whose goal is to provide 17,000 summer jobs and 168,000 "educational and recreational opportunities" to keep young people ages 6 to 24, according to the city's website.

Police now have surveillance video of the man, they say, got into a verbal argument on a Brooklyn train that ended in the death of a young Queens man.The victim has been identified as Joshua Basin, 20, of Howard Beach. He was a junior at LaGuardia Community College, and reportedly took acting lessons on the side.
Investigators say there were hundreds of eyewitnesses to the fight Friday night around 10 o'clock on the L line. According to police, Basin and the suspect -- who witnesses say was drunk -- began arguing on the train. The argument spilled out onto the platform at the Bedford Avenue station in Williamsburg, where it escalated, the pair falling on the tracks.
Police say the other man -- described as a white male in his early '30's -- managed to pull himself back onto the platform and fled the scene; Basin was not so lucky; he was hit by an oncoming train. Basin was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he died.
According to a report in the Daily News, Basin was on his way to his girlfriend's house on Long Island.
Detectives closed the station for several hours in order to gather evidence.
The case is being investigated as a homicide.
Meanwhile, Zena Basin says she just wants justice for her only child. She described him as a "happy-go-lucky," young man, who was well-known in Howard Beach and Ozone Park. Mrs. Basin described Joshua as her "miracle child," explaining his twin died at birth, and he wasn't expected to live either. She says she has one, simple request of the suspect: "Turn yourself in."
If you can provide investigators with any clues, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. All calls are kept confidential. You can also contact police by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going to nypdcrimestoppers.com.

Robotic Workers To "Help" At New Hospital
If I'm in the hospital the last thing I wanna see is a bunch of robots running around. I'd probably assume I've died and gone to hell. AND I AIN'T GOIN' OUT LIKE THAT.
A hospital in Scotland is to become the first in the UK to use a fleet of robots to carry out day-to-day tasks.
The robots will carry clinical waste, deliver food, clean the operating theatre and dispense drugs.He added: "Members of staff will use a hand-held PDA to call up the robot to move meal trays, or linen, or whatever.
"The robot will come up in the service lift by itself, pick up the item and go back into the lift."
"The robots will follow the system using a series of laser beams which will tell it exactly where it is," he explained.
Right, autonomous robots running amok in a hospital, what could possibly go wrong? Besides, oh I dunno, EVERYBODY DYING. And not just the patients either, I'm talking the doctors and nurses and people pretending to be doctors and nurses to get at the drugs in the pharmacy. Get me some of that rubbing alcohol.

The network, server and virtualization monitoring software
Instant SMS ToolkitAs an IT Manager you know that the most frustrating network outage happens only when you are least prepared for it with all your key resources away from desk. Making people react to failure in the shortest possible time reduces downtimes. Most organizations build redundancy into network links by default and with email alerts being a given with most network monitoring software, a few small and mid-sized organizations have a secondary email server. What is essential though is an option to circumvent the problem when the email server itself fails, the Internet link goes down, or the very next switch connected to the network monitoring system, is down. SMS AlertsCritical alerts like that of a database server going down, a link failure, or a proactive alert on a potential downtime requires immediate attention. It is unlikely that the IT team is always available on the email to pick an alert. SMS alert notifications enable the engineers to turn around quickly and help them prioritize. You can connect the GSM phone or GSM modem to the OpManager server, helping you send SMS alerts even if your internet or exchange server is down. This ensures fail-proof alerting and there is the added advantage of the concerned engineer being notified instantly. Did you know?
OpManager supports both, email–based and GSM modem–based SMS alerts. Supported Modems for SMS NotificationsFollowing is a list of the modems supported in OpManager for SMS Notifications.
Can't find the modem in this list?
No worries! Check whether the device you have meets the following configuration.
– If all the above criteria match, OpManager will support your modem phone.

The Moron Test 2 Review
The Moron Test 2 is not the first app on the App Store to use the types of tests included here, but it is one of the most complete and rewarding, with a unique design, multiple tests to try your hand at, and few, if any, cheap answers that will create losing rounds. If you enjoy apps that force you to pay attention and simultaneously push your brain to really think hard, this is a must download.
The Moron Test 2 essentially runs a series of short yet rarely easy mini-games in each of the three game modes. You must … Read more

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Jungle River Tubing Safari. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
The Jungle River Tubing was on the top of my list for things to do in Montego Bay. We are so glad we booked with Viator. The tour was calm and relaxing. We slowly coasted through the beautiful Jamaican jungle. The tour guides made the trip fun. Our group ate lunch at the cafe after our tour. The jerk chicken was sooo delicious!! The whole experience was excellent. Highly recommend the tour if you are looking for something fun and relaxing.
Really fun time. Our guide was funny and interesting and it was very relaxing. Had a blast.
The tour was relaxing and informative. I would do it again. They give you the option to tube it yourself, but your linked together. I am not a swimmer, so you can believe me. It is relaxing you get a safety briefing and a life vest. The tour guides does all the work paddling you through the river while giving you a little history of Jamacia and the areas surrounding the river. Bring Mosquito repellant, this is offered, but it is not as strong.
An enjoyable trip, which may even be suitable for those who are not very confident in water
Duane B
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip down the river! Our guide, "Shrek", was very personable, knowledgeable, and skillful. The water was a bit low so no real rapids but we moved along nicely through what I would call a real rain forest. Very relaxing and entertaining!
Was everything I wanted it to be. Had a blast! Informative and relaxing. Great job!
This trip was awesome - the water is cool and fresh, they take you through a part of the jungle where you step into a smaller river and take you to a waterfall, and the guides are really funny. It downpoured that day and it was STILL our favorite excursion on our trip! :]
This is a must do. The scenery and the tranquility of the river are very enjoyable. Our tour guide was very funny and engaging. He made the trip for group memorable. I would do this again!
The tubing trip on the Great River was fantastic! It was through Chuka Tours from Negril. About a 2 hour bus ride, but the scenery inland was beautiful so worth the time. The tubing itself was great. We got on the tubes which were tied together in 8s. Our guide, JR, was so cool. He gave us a great account of the history of Jamaica and the immediate area as we floated down the river, even trying to teach us a bit of the Jamaican Patois language. There was great banter between our tube barge and another one lead by Shrek. Mostly the river was calm, then you would encounter some mild rapids and were told to "raise your butt" lest you have bruises the next day. At the end of the floating we climbed into Safari trucks for the ride back to where we started. The ride was hysterical if you don't mind bouncing out of your seat the entire ride. We were laughing so hard. The facility where the tour starts and ends is nice - food, lockers for your stuff, gift shop, and clean restrooms. Tip your guide because they deserve it! I would go again in a heart beat!!
What an amazing trip! Our guide, Delroy was great (and very entertaining). I would recommend that any visitors to Jamaica make sure to include this trip in your vacation plans!
Mary T
The tour guides definitely make the trip enjoyable. They are very animated and fun! The tree swing is also a nice addition. We could have spent an entire day on this adventure! It's an adventure that can be enjoyed by all ages!
I brought a group of 20 on this tour and it was so fun. The guides are great. They tie all the tubes together and row you down. So beautiful. Plus the Jungle juice is awesome! LOL. The ride there was a little long but we had a great time.
Very good trip, however, it was raining as it usually does up in the mountains of Jamaica. Other than that, we enjoyed our tour guides and had fun.
The tour was fun and educational, also relaxing.
Our tour guide was fantastic and very informative, with a good sense of humor. The souvenir shop was pretty good, prices were reasonable. We thought we were going to miss lunch but there was a lunch counter that served jerk chicken fries and hush puppies. The meal was great and the jerk chicken was the best I had during my vacation.We fed a family of 4 for around 40.00 us.
Very relaxing and had great time. The guides and pictures were 1st class. I was hoping for more rapids, but still enjoyable. Would also like to see a trip combining the raft tour and zip line, since both go to the same place which is not evident in the writeup.

Joe Black: Update
And... OMG, this guy has lost his freaking mind... this individual who claimed to want to be a White House Cybersecurity advisor, and claimed to be under the protection of US Cyber Command, now says he is: the "Official Spokesperson and Advisor to Anonymous and Antisec operations" and a "Professor at the Joe Black Institute for Higher Learning" I see he is no longer working at eFrame, I wonder what the conditions of his release were?
His associate "Elyssa Durant" (Im highly suspicious that this person doesnt even exist...) was the "Director, CounterIntelligence Unit, Black & Berg CyberSecurity, LLC" Since when does a civilian consultancy have a counterintel unit? She was also the "Director, Black Co. Operations" For some strange reason, her backround isnt in cyber, intelligence analysis or counterintel... how strange...

08/13/2012 - For 25 years, Discovery's Shark Week has offered television viewers a unique look into the world of sharks, the ocean's top predators. But at the Pew Environment Group, it's always Shark Week.For nearly 400 million years, various types of sharks have patrolled the oceans, weeding out the weak among prey and maintaining balance in the marine ecosystem. But in the past half-century, overfishing of sharks has devastated their numbers, and up to 73 million are killed each year, primarily for their fins. In recent months, though, conservation efforts have led to several key victories for sharks. PewEnvironment.org features videos, infographics and slideshows detailing these accomplishments.

Messiah College is a private Christian college of the liberal arts and applied arts and sciences located in Grantham, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, near the capital city of Harrisburg. Messiah's mission is to "educate men and women toward maturity of intellect, character, and Christian faith in preparation for lives of service, leadership, and reconciliation in church and society."[2]
Messiah College was founded in 1909 by the Brethren in Christ Church, and was originally called Messiah Bible School and Missionary Training Home. Originally located in Harrisburg, Pa., in the home of Messiah's first president, Samuel Rogers (S.R.) Smith, a local businessman and leader in the Brethren in Christ Church, the school was moved to the village of Grantham in 1911 following the construction of the campus' first building, Old Main. The building was constructed on land donated by S.R. Smith, who had moved his home and various business interests outside of the city to allow for growth in the farmlands surrounding Grantham. In the early years, the school offered a high school curriculum and several Bible programs. By 1921 it had also become a junior college, making it the second junior college in Pennsylvania, and changed its name to Messiah Bible School.[3]
By the 1950s the school offered four-year college programs and accordingly in 1951 it changed its name to Messiah College.[4] Messiah discontinued its high school program in 1959 and added liberal arts programs during this period. It was accredited as a four-year college in 1963, and continued to expand its liberal arts programs.
Even though it is no longer owned by the Brethren in Christ Church, Messiah continues to be influenced by its traditions primarily in the Anabaptist, but also the Pietist and Wesleyan holiness movements. Today, Messiah College is a nondenominational Christian college, with a faith base that is broadly evangelical and includes students and employees from a variety of denominations and Christian faith traditions.[5]
Other Key Points in Messiah's History
- In 1964 Messiah College took over the operations of Upland College in Upland, California, a Brethren in Christ Church College that had been operating since the 1920s. The Upland campus was closed and all operations were consolidated to Pennsylvania.[6]
- In 1968 Messiah College opened its Philadelphia Campus in a unique partnership with Temple University.[7]
- In 2002, Messiah College's Harrisburg Institute was founded in downtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Its purpose is to serve as an academic and research center and connect students with the unique needs of an urban environment. The Institute also provides housing for up to 25 students.[8]
- Messiah College celebrated its 100th anniversary during the 2009-2010 academic year with a Centennial celebration centered on the theme, "Shared Faith. Bold Vision. Enduring Promise."[9]
Messiah College offers more than 80 majors and pre-professional programs[10] in four schools: the School of the Arts; the School of Business, Education and Social Sciences; the School of Science, Engineering and Health; and the School of the Humanities. In addition to major requirements, there is a general education curriculum, required for all students. General education requirements include but are not limited to theology courses, a philosophy, a literature, a social science, an art course, a world views class, physical education courses, first year and senior seminars, and a comprehensive first-year seminar course added in 2009 called Created and Called for Community.
Messiah College awards Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in the liberal and applied arts and sciences. Specialized programs include extensive off-campus study, individualized majors, independent study, service-learning, internships, allied health programs in partnership with other institutions[11] and a College Honors Program.[5] Some majors allow students to graduate one or two semesters early, depending on their particular field of study.[12]
In 2009, Messiah College launched its first graduate programs, and currently offers online master's programs in art education, conducting, counseling, education, higher education and youth and young adult ministries.[13]
Messiah College is named by U.S. News and World Report as the #4 "Best Regional College" in the North and ranked in the top 10 in its region as a "Great School at a Great Price".[14] Messiah College is also recognized by the Princeton Review as a "Best College in the Northeast."[15]
Messiah College students have earned prestigious academic national and international post-graduate honors and fellowships such as Rhodes, Fulbright, Carnegie, Truman and Boren scholarships.[16] Joy Wang became Messiah College's first Rhodes Scholar in 1997.[17]
Messiah College uses the 4-1-3 academic calendar system where the academic year is divided into Fall, January, and Spring Terms. The January Term, or J-Term, is a three-and-a-half-week period where students can choose to take one or two courses intensively, participate in a cross cultural study program, sign up for the popular Skiing and Snowboarding class, or simply stay home for an extended vacation.
In 1963 the College was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.[18] Academic programs in engineering, dietetics, nursing, athletic training, music, social work, education, theatre and business are each accredited by professional associations.
International Programs[edit]
Messiah College has a nationally recognized network of programs through which students can study abroad. In 2010, Messiah College was ranked 7th among all undergraduate institutions in the country that send students to study abroad by the Institute for International Education's Open Doors Report. In 2009-2010, more than 400 Messiah students earned academic credit by studying abroad in more than 40 different countries.[19]
Cross-cultural courses are offered during January and May terms. These trips are led by faculty members and students earn credits by participating in an intense three-week study of a particular geographic region or culture. Messiah College students can also participate in the International Business Institute (IBI), an overseas program in international economics and business designed to give students an opportunity to integrate academic study with international field experience. Students who travel with IBI during the summer visit corporate headquarters, manufacturing plants, and government and international agencies in Europe, India, and China. Students can also work in a variety of fields—including the arts, politics, and health care—through an international internship partnership with Arcadia University. Students also have the opportunity to design their own international internship at the location of their choice in partnership with the College's Internship Center.http://www.messiah.edu/departments/globalization/world.html
The Messiah College Falcons compete in NCAA Division III athletics with 22 different intercollegiate athletic teams. Messiah is a member of the Middle Atlantic Corporation and is sponsored by Nike, Inc.
Messiah's men's and women's soccer teams won the NCAA Division III National Championship in 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2012. The Falcons men's soccer team are ten-time national champions, winning the NCAA Men's Division III Soccer Championship in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013. Messiah's women's soccer team has won the NCAA Women's Division III Soccer Championship in 2005, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012. Messiah College is the only college in the NCAA to win both the men's and women's soccer national championship in the same year with their wins in 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2012.
The women's field hockey team has appeared in the NCAA division III final four twelve times, making four of these appearances in the past five seasons.[20]
The Messiah College mascot is the Falcon, which was given the name Fandango in 2006.[21]
The Women's softball team won their first NCAA Division III national championship in 2009.[22]
Messiah is ranked by US News & World Report as the third best school in the nation for soccer fans.[23]
In October 2009, USA Today ran a national front-page sports feature profiling Messiah College's success in bringing together the two aspects of its mission statement, "Pursuing Athletic Excellence. Developing Christian Character."[24]
Spiritual life[edit]
The Community Covenant[edit]
Students at Messiah College are required to sign a Community Covenant upon entering. The document states that every person is created in the image of God, and that there are certain responsibilities of living in community that must also be assumed in relation to God, others, and his creation.
First and foremost, the Community Covenant affirms belief in God and the Bible. Specifically, the Community Covenant requires commitment to academic integrity, responsible decision making in light of Christian values, and balancing personal freedom with concern for others. Practically, the Covenant bans both on- and off-campus the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, and tobacco as well as gambling, profanity, "occult practices", sexual intercourse outside of marriage, and homosexual behavior. It also prescribes the avoidance of drunkenness, stealing, and dishonesty. The Covenant also prohibits certain attitudes, such as greed, lust, and jealousy, but allows that these attributes are typically expressed less outwardly.
The text of the Covenant can be found on Messiah College's website.
Homosexuality Policy Controversy[edit]
The college's stance on homosexuality, as stated in the Community Covenant, has been a source of contention and controversy amongst the student body, administration, and alumni. A number of articles have been published concerning the issue in the college's student newspaper, the Swinging Bridge.[25][26][27][28]
An alumni group, Inclusive Alumni, has formed in support of Isaiah Thomas, aiming at changing the college's policy.[29] Isaiah Thomas was a student who decided to transfer out of Messiah in May 2011, after claims of harassment by students and also a professor. He also claims he received a death threat via Facebook. The college followed up on his claims, but has refused to change its policy.
Related to this issue, Messiah College President Kim Phipps sent a statement to college employees and alumni that read in part, "There has been much attention given to Messiah's Community Covenant's stance on homosexual behavior in recent media accounts, some of it more accurate and contextual than others. However, an equally important part of our Community Covenant emphatically states the importance of each person, that individuals are to be valued and respected because all human beings are created in God's image. In its May 10 editorial, the "Patriot-News" called Messiah's goal on this issue "admirable," and notes that the College is "trying to be a bridge between two parts of society who rarely even talk to one another, let alone have a meaningful conversation."[30] My hope and prayer for the Messiah College community is that we will reflect the love of Christ to one another and to our neighbors even in the midst of difficult conversations and challenges.[31]
The mission of Chapel reads:
- "Chapel at Messiah College is a central expression of our identity as a community of Christians with a deep commitment to spiritual growth and academic excellence.
- In chapel we seek to nurture holistic Christian faith through:
- worship that expresses our faith with a full range of contemporary and traditional form
- teaching that connects God's Word and our world
- community building that affirms our common identity in Christ and celebrates our diversity"
Students are required to attend 24 chapel services each semester. Each student is required to have twelve common chapels, however the rest of the necessary 24 can be fulfilled through alternate chapels on a variety of different topics ranging from discussion forums to videos to special speakers.
in addition to chapel, Messiah College provides other opportunities for spiritual growth throughout students' college experience, including discipleship groups, ministry outreach teams, community service, mission trips and numerous other special programs such as "Powerhouse," a weekly student-led contemporary worship service.[32]
Messiah's model of spiritual formation is based on faithful acts of knowing, being, and doing as Christians.[33]
Student activities[edit]
Students at Messiah College can spend their free time playing in intramural sports leagues, participating in various clubs, watching on-campus movies, and hanging out at local diners, among other things. Underclassmen also participate in floor activities organized by their RAs. The Student Government Association funds 40+ organizations on campus that aim at providing for a co-curricular atmosphere conducive to a holistic education and enjoyable experience while enrolled at both Grantham and Philadelphia campuses. The S.G.A. also provides students with unique access towards influencing governance and overall institutional prerogatives.
Messiah College's Student Activities Board (SAB) is an executive organization that attempts to help students engage with popular culture by bringing different concerts, films, and other forms of entertainment to campus. In recent years, Messiah College has, through SAB, hosted such musicians and bands as Bob Dylan, Counting Crows, Katy Perry, Chiddy Bang, Fun., Jack's Mannequin, Ingrid Michaelson, Owl City, Brand New, Guster, Janelle Monáe, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, Anberlin, Nickel Creek, White Rabbits, The Decemberists, Regina Spektor, Iron & Wine, M. Ward, The Low Anthem, Mates of State, Exit Clov, Feist, Wilco, Rosie Thomas, Copeland, mewithoutYou, Phantom Planet, Erin McKeown, Rilo Kiley, 4th Avenue Jones, Jason Mraz as well as Christian artists Relient K, Jeff Deyo, August Burns Red, Jars of Clay, Cross Movement, Matt Wertz and Out of Eden, among others. They also plan dances, coffeehouses, and other special activities (like outings, Broadway trips, and festivals) for students. SAB hosts a free concert series every Wednesday night, known as "B-sides", which is held in the Larsen Student Union building. Local, indie and up-and-coming bands and artists play every Wednesday night throughout the school year. These concerts are free not only to students, but to the public as well.
Messiah College has, over the years, accumulated a number of traditions. One of the oldest traditions is known as "creeking". This tradition started out as a way of congratulating male students who had recently gotten engaged. The student would be taken to the nearby Yellow Breeches Creek by his friends and thrown in. It is also common for people to be "creeked" on their birthdays.[34] The tradition has been extended to the female population.
The Compassion Forum[edit]
The Compassion Forum was a question-and-answer session in which CNN commentators Jon Meacham and Campbell Brown as well as select members of the audience posed questions about Faith and Politics to Democratic political candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.[35] The Forum took place at Messiah College, in Grantham, Pennsylvania on April 13, 2008 and was given live national coverage by CNN.[36] The event was organized by the religious organization Faith in Public Life. John McCain was offered an invitation to participate in the event, but declined the invitation, citing a schedule conflict.
Messiah College in popular culture[edit]
Following the US Justice Department Scandal in which Messiah College alumna Monica Goodling was intimately involved, several members of the media ridiculed Messiah College. Jon Stewart on The Daily Show referred to Messiah as a school "where people have faith that they'll receive a quality education, and yet somehow it never arrives,"[37] and "that everyone in the God business knows is a 'savior school'."[38] Bill Maher focused his satirical criticism on Goodling's legal education at Regent University, but also mocked Messiah, calling it "the home of the Fighting Christies."[39]

8 Inexpensive DIY Projects That Make Perfect Presents by POPSUGAR Pets 12/23/08 2 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 Looking for a craft project or inexpensive gift idea? I never seem to find time to perfect recipes for humans or knit sweaters, but I am always game to test out doggie treats or home toy kits. I've put together a selection of eight simple, inexpensive and fun DIY projects that could make the perfect gift for any furry friend. DIY Cat Bed/Charging Station What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 By taking an inexpensive Ikea desk organizer, and customizing it to fit her needs, Modern Cat reader Breanne got herself a very organized desk. . . and a happy kitty! Isn't it always the case that your cat wants to sit on top of whatever you are working on anyway? Find out how she made it here, while I brainstorm about how to make a dog-friendly version! 1 / 8 Make Cat Toys From Your Extra Yarn What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It seems that cats can be entertained by the simplest of things! If you're a knitter and have cats, this DIY Cat Toy project is perfect for you, since you won't be wasting an inch of that expensive yarn from your last handmade scarf. These simple and easy-to-make kitty toys that a pal of mine caught on The Thrifty Knitter, are just bunches of yarn wrapped inside a stocking or a pair of nylons, then tossed in the washing machine. Pretty simple for an easy toy that this cat in particular seems to love. To find out how to make your own check out my guide. Source: Getty 2 / 8 Make a DIY Cat Toy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If your cats love found objects, try other recommendations such as tying 10 hair ties (with no metal) to a piece of yarn or cutting used gift bows into poofs as impromptu creations. As with any toy, monitor your pets when they play, paying close attention for small, broken, or loose parts. Happy crafting! 3 / 8 Turn a Sock Into a Sweater What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 TeamSugar member DeJaVuE found this clothing idea on the Internet, and decided to test it out on her four-pound-pup, Belle. Even though she says she didn't spend that much time on it, I think it looks pretty sweet! First up, take a nice warm, fluffy sock, cut off the toe section and any additional material to make it no longer than your pup's body in length. Next, cut arm holes at the right spot for your pet's front paws. Oh, and don't throw away the scrap from the toes, you can cut two holes in it and she's ready to model a lil hat as well! Now, North is a tad too chubs for a sock sweater but, for those of you with small pooches, I think it's a neat alternative to store-bought sweaters – just think what you could do with ribbons, buttons, or other embellishments! 4 / 8 Rocco's Nutty Mix-Up What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 No time is better than the present to make up a special treat for your small pet! I created these treats a few years back using people food ingredients listed in a Dwarf Hamster book that would be okay for little Rocco. These nibbles increase rodents' natural desire to forage, and help their teeth, too. Get Rocco's Nutty Mix-Up recipe and get started! Source: Getty 6 / 8 Freeze Poochie a Pop What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For this snack, the live bacterial culture in yogurt can aid digestion while the high protein peanut butter is so appealing to most dogs that you can even sneak medication into the sticky stuff to get them to take it. Don't feed pets too many treats – snack servings should be limited to no more than five percent of a pet's daily food intake. Get the recipe and try it yourself. 6 / 8 Freeze Pumpkin For Poo Probs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Many pets are crazy about ice or frozen PB and banana shapes, and pumpkin cubes are no different. To make, simply fill trays with a mixture of canned pumpkin (the pure stuff, not pie filling) and water, using just enough liquid to get a smooth consistency. Freeze it, then offer to a lucky pup as a special treat. In addition to working miracles on kitty's hairballs, yummy pumpkin can also help with your pets' constipation or diarrhea issues. 7 / 8 Make Pet Treats! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 All too often, I can't find the time to bake up special snacks for myself but, when I do have a moment to spare, I love making treats for my dog. After all, that keeps me safe from those extra calories! I'm not a fan of preparing food that involves meat so this recipe is still a surefire hit with me. . . and with my lil' guy. With only four ingredients, no extra trip to the store is needed!

OIT has managed a virtual server environment using VMWare since 1999. Originally to support our "crash and burn" Windows servers, we quickly realized the value that virtual servers added to our environment. VM allows us to consolidate workload from several servers, making better use of physical hardware. By 2005, OIT upgraded to VMWare's ESX platform as the new virtual environment. And again in 2008, OIT refreshed the underlying hardware infrastructure that runs our virtual environment.
After 10 years of running VMWare, we need to step back and take a second look at how we manage virtual servers. Mike Coonrod, Mike Langus, and Patton Fast have developed a future roadmap for our virtual hosting environment, including a strategy to provide broader hosting options. This week, Patton and I reviewed this OIT Virtual Hosting Strategy and Roadmap document with Doug.
It doesn't end there, though. Our next step is to develop a customer service and implementation plan to move the project forward. But I want to take this opportunity to thank Mike, Mike and Patton (and anyone else on the Windows team who contributed to the strategy.) It's taken many months of hard work to get to this point. Excellent work!

Volunteer in China with International Volunteer HQ today. IVHQ's local staff in China require volunteers NOW! IVHQ China has a wide range of volunteering projects in China, including Teaching English, Special Needs/Childcare and Panda Conservation.
IVHQ has volunteer placements located in and around the ancient Chinese city of Xi'an (home to the world famous terracotta warriors). Panda conservation placements are located approximately two hours outside of Xi'an in the Shaanxi province at a panda sanctuary.
Programs begin on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month. Volunteers can choose to volunteer for periods ranging from 1 week to 6 months.
Volunteers must be 18 years or older at the beginning of the program and have at least a high school education. Volunteers must also take a letter from their local doctor or a medical certificate to the program in China to give to program. This letter must declare them fit and healthy with no known transmittable medical conditions (a requirement from local officials for working with children). All volunteers must provide a criminal background check to IVHQ partner staff on arrival in China.
Last year IVHQ placed over 300 volunteers on our China program, making us one of the most popular volunteer organizations in China! Between 20 and 40 volunteers start on our programs in China each month. What does this mean for you? More people to socialize with and travel with, more people to meet from different cultures, more people to volunteer with, more projects to work on, more staff support, better infrastructure for volunteers and lower fees!
"I felt very helpful at the school as I was the first foreigner most of the students met, I felt that I really was able to help them not only with their English studies, but with their knowledge about the western way of life in general. It was wonderful living in the volunteer house with the other volunteers and our Chinese hosts. The house was very comfortable, very clean and located in a very nice area with everything we need close at hand." - Naama Hecht (Teaching English)

The special needs/childcare volunteer program in China focuses on helping at special needs centres and with some limited work available at orphanages. Many parents in China cannot afford special education or focused care for their child if they have a physical or mental disability. However, there are some community centers that do exist to offer programs for these special needs children from poorer backgrounds that cannot attend mainstream schools. Workers are desperately required as the centers are incredibly understaffed. IVHQ volunteers work in these community centers alongside a small number of local staff assisting children and adults with both physical and mental disabilities. Volunteers assist with the daily operations, which includes tasks such as preparing food, serving meals, cleaning and arranging games and activities for the children and adults. However, the most valuable thing volunteers can offer is love and support. In addition to this, there are also some limited opportunities to work at orphanages as part of the childcare program. Abandonment statistics have skyrocketed with the China's "one child" rule (or Family Planning Policy) and the societal value of boy babies only further complicates a dire situation. Most Chinese orphanages are understaffed, short on necessary resources and funds. Orphanage volunteers in China are needed to help provide love and care for these children, assist with homework and demonstrate valuable life skills. As an orphanage volunteer in China, you will be involved in many child-focused and enjoyable activities with these children such as feeding the children and preparing them for school. You will also arrange afterschool projects - games and crafts, sports and help them with their homework. You may also teach the children English depending on their age and English capabilities. NB The main need for volunteers on the IVHQ China Special Needs/Childcare program is at special needs centres, however we do have some limited availability at orphanages. While we can note your preference, we make no guarantees for what type of institution you will be placed as it does depend on need and availability at the time you will be volunteering.

Volunteer English teaching in China focuses on developing conversational English skills with Chinese students. IVHQ mainly works with Chinese Government owned schools; most of which are located in Xi'an. In China, there is a growing demand for an English education. With the unprecedented economic growth China has experienced in recent years, the importance of English education has also grown. Many schools in China have established an "English corner", a specially designed spot for teaching/learning English. Unfortunately, many of the "English" teachers within these schools, possess poor to little English vocabulary and as a result there is a high demand for native English speakers to assist with these classes. NB Volunteers DO NOT need to be a qualified or experienced teacher. Volunteers simply need enthusiasm, an open mind, caring spirit and a compassionate nature. If English is not your first language it is important you are fluent and have both advanced written and verbal English skills.

IVHQ Shaanxi Panda Sanctuary Placement
On your first day, you will be placed with a panda keeper, and will work with him for the duration of your placement.
Read more »
This program is currently suspended until further notice due to the pandas being used by the local Government. We hope to have it reopened again in 2014. The regal Giant Panda, a well known symbol of China, faces extinction. Many factors are assaulting the Giant Panda's survival: habitat loss, industrialization, a low birth-rate and a history of poaching. It is estimated that there are only 1000 wild Giant Pandas left in the world. The majority of these live in the Chinese provinces of Shaanxi and Sichuan. IVHQ partners with a wildlife and Giant Panda conservation center in the Shaanxi province, approximately two hours outside of Xi'an. Fifteen Giant Pandas call this center home and are being monitored and studied along with other endangered species and wildlife. When you volunteer with the Giant Panda project, you have direct contact with these splendid animals as you work at the conservation center. Volunteers will bathe and feed the animals, clean enclosures and perform general maintenance at the sanctuary. Other endangered species at the center include Golden Monkeys and the Crested Ibis – and volunteers will interact with these rare animals as well. It is important to note that the work with the pandas only takes 2-3 hours daily, and therefore many volunteers also choose to teach English at a local school to ensure they have sufficient work and do not become bored. Teaching classes are arranged with the program coordinator during orientation upon arrival in China. NB The IVHQ Panda Conservation has different program fees to the other China programs due to the high costs associated with running this program. Please refer to the program fees page for more information on this.

One of the strengths of IVHQ is our extremely affordable fees. Click here to see the program cost to volunteer in China and what you receive in exchange for your fees.
Considering the fact that hotels and guesthouses can be expensive for volunteers especially those wanting to stay for longer periods, we work on a program where we place our volunteers into a volunteer house with other volunteers. The volunteer house is a large centrally located, Western-style house with 5 bedrooms (all shared accommodations with a variety of double beds, single beds and bunk beds). The house has two bathrooms with Western-style toilets and hot water for showers. The house is safe and secure, located in a compound of apartments with a security guard and a security gate. In the volunteer house, there is a cook who cooks the meals for the volunteers. For the Panda Conservation project, volunteers are accommodated in a local hostel close to the project (hence the higher cost of the project).
Bottled water is readily available in China and volunteers should budget approximately US$5 per week for this (2 litres per day). In all China volunteer projects, breakfast, lunch and dinner is provided throughout the duration of the project. We offer an experienced cook to provide local meals two times a day in our volunteer house (breakfast and dinner) and lunch is provided at the project. We offer fresh, nutritious and safe local foods for our volunteers to eat. On the Panda Conservation project volunteers eat breakfast, lunch & dinner at a nearby restaurant which offers very delicious Chinese food (this is already paid for as part of your fees).If you have special eating needs, please let us know ahead of time so that we can make arrangements for you. However, we need to stress the point that you should not expect to eat as you normally do at home. We will do our best to see that you are well taken care of, but also as a volunteer, there is a need to be flexible.
For volunteers who would prefer to not live in a dormitory situation with shared facilities, there is the option of upgrading to a 3 star hotel located nearby the volunteer house. Volunteers have a private room and bathroom and meals are provided in the hotel restaurant (breakfast and dinner). Lunch is still provided at your project. The upgrade costs an extra US$25 per person per day for a single room or for twin/double occupancy (if there are two of you travelling together) the cost is US$15 per person per day. If you wish to upgrade your accommodation, please let your IVHQ program coordinator know once you register and they will adjust your program fees accordingly.
Programs will begin on the first and third Monday of each month and orientation is held on the Sunday night and starts at around 7pm. This last for approximately 2-3 hours. Orientation will be conducted by the local staff in Xi'an and cover everything you need to know for your volunteering placement in China – Introduction to China, Chinese Customs, Rules and Expectations, Safety, Travel Opportunities in China and Introduction to your project and placement. The orientation will also give you a chance to meet other volunteers and swap contact details for weekend travel and socializing. The next morning (Monday) volunteers will head to their volunteer placements with project staff.
First Day: On the first day of the volunteering placement, the volunteers will be picked up at their accommodation by project staff and shown the way to their placement.
Weekdays: While our programs are flexible and can be fitted to your requirements, an example of a typical day is as follows.
- 7.30am Breakfast.
- 8.00am Volunteer leaves accommodation and travels to the project; the volunteer joins with the local staff. There is usually a tea break and a lunch break. Lunch is usually taken at your project site. Work and hours is dependent on the project and location that the volunteer is participating in.
- 2.00pm-5.00pm Work at the project usually ends. The volunteer at this point is free to visit and see places or do shopping.
- 7.30pm Dinner at your accommodation
Weekends: During the weekend, volunteers have spare time and usually just relax or take the opportunity to explore other parts of Xi'an and China. Long weekends can be taken to travel further afield such as the Great Wall of China in Beijing, Terracotta Warriors or other Chinese cities such as Guilin or Shanghai.

Jan 17 2013 by John Siddle, Liverpool Echo
A MERSEYSIDE woman who escaped the London helicopter crash by just seconds today relived the terrifying ordeal.
Joanna Moroz, 28, was commuting to work on a crowded bus yesterday when the Agusta Westland aircraft hit a crane, plummeted to the ground and burst into flames.
Two people died and at least 12 were injured in the rush-hour accident which happened in the Vauxhall area.
Miss Moroz, from Hoylake, was just yards from the crash when her bus came to a sudden halt.
She told the ECHO: "I heard a whizzing noise and a massive crash, which was the helicopter hitting the ground.
"The whole street was on fire. It was like a wall of fire. There was a sea of flashing blue lights and smoke.
"It was petrifying. My initial thought was that it was a terrorist attack."
Witnesses reported seeing debris falling from the sky after the aircraft struck the crane before exploding into flames and plunging to the ground near Vauxhall station.
Miss Moroz, who works for radio station Talksport and used to work at Liverpool station Juice FM, said: "I missed it by seconds. There were two cars and a bus in front of us.
"I just thought what if I had got an earlier bus or if the traffic lights had changed differently.
"It was so, so close. I am a bit shaken up by it."
Metropolitan Police commissioner – former Merseyside chief Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe – confirmed there were two deaths, one person critically injured and a number of others with less serious injuries.
The pilot who died was named last night by sources as Pete Barnes, who piloted helicopters in action scenes in movies Die Another Day, Tomb Raider II and Saving Private Ryan.
The helicopter clipped a crane on top of a building called The Tower in the St George Wharf development, billed as one of Europe's tallest residential towers.
Miss Moroz told how she called her mum Anna to let her know she was OK.
She said: "My mum knew something was up because I never call her in the mornings. She didn't know the scale of it all until she got to work.
"She was so relieved I was all right."
The aircraft was on a flight from Redhill, in Surrey, to Elstree, in Hertfordshire.
Met commander Neil Basu said: "It was something of a miracle that this was not many, many times worse."

Recently, BlueLock sponsored an exciting event here in Indianapolis. It was the first Byte Night, an event benefiting NPower IN, a non-profit focused on providing technology services to non-profits. The evening was billed as:
"A fun, social gathering of the area's top IT leaders who are committed to improving and sustaining technology's impact on non-profits in Central Indiana."
Funny how different paths in life connect. Three years ago, I met Pat O'Day, BlueLock's CTO, when he joined the NPower IN Board. I began serving on the Board two years earlier. Who would have "thunk" that I would become a BlueLocker, which happened about two months ago.
I couldn't have been prouder that night both of how the evening went (Pat and I both served on the planning committee!) and of being associated with the team at BlueLock. We are doing great things for our clients by providing cloud computing. I am also working with an awesome team and a company that does care about giving back to its community.
Enjoy this video from the Byte Night event. Pat presented the awards to two deserving non-profits in the city. Not your typical prize packages!
An extra treat....We had the pleasure of hearing from Christopher Gardner, the real life hero in the book/movie, The Pursuit of Happyness. What an inspiring story! Wasn't even disappointed that Will Smith wasn't there.

cartridges were good but didn't seem to last as long as original carts, not sure if that is my imagination but felt like they went dry fater.
The ink cartridges did not work. so had to go and buy a new one and had to pay more for it.
I guess it could be shame on me for not realizing these were "remanufactured" but they came in a completely beat up box ... The HP machine keeps saying there's an issue with them (although they acknowledge that we should just ignore this on the packaging). Bottom-line - won't be buying these again...
The product worked for about 5 days before running out of ink, it came in damaged packaging and appeared to be very old.
Product was shipped quickly and was exactly what I ordered.
The cartridges does the work and over all I am happy with the performance and the price.

My husband has always loved this cologne. He has just had so much trouble finding it in stores and when he does he always pays to much for it. I am so glad I found this web site with this cologne. I gave the gift set to my husband for Christmas and he loves it. He wears the cologne daily and is already asking me to buy more so he has it in stock!! His brother loves it too and is always taking it from him when he comes over. So we are thinking about ordering him a gift set too.

Publisher(s): International Zinc Association (IZA), IFA, Second Edition, Brussels, Belgium and Paris, France, October 2008
Format(s): HARDCOPY, PDF
Number of pages: 136
Language(s) :
Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient but Zinc deficiency appears to be the most widespread and frequent micronutrient deficiency problem in crops worldwide particularly in countries such as India, China, Pakistan and Turkey where soils are low in available Zn, and cereals are the major source of calorie intake. It is, therefore, highly important to develop cost-effective and quick solutions to the Zn deficiency problem.
A basic knowledge of the dynamics of Zn in soils, understanding of the uptake and transport of Zn in plant systems and characterizing the response of plants to Zn deficiency are essential steps in achieving sustainable solutions to the problem of Zn deficiency in plants and humans.
