Habitat for Humanity joins Ashoka in sponsoring online competition to recognize affordable housing solutions
AMERICUS, Ga. (Aug. 15, 2006) – Habitat for Humanity and Ashoka announce the 2006 Changemakers Innovation Awards competition titled, "How to Provide Affordable Housing," to recognize innovative housing solutions around the world. Individuals and organizations can apply online at www.changemakers.net.
Changemakers is an initiative of Ashoka, a pioneering "social entrepreneur" organization that supports outstanding individuals with ideas for far-reaching social change. Since 1981, Ashoka has invested in more than 1,700 social entrepreneurs in 62 countries worldwide. This year is the first time Habitat for Humanity has been involved in the competition.
"The 2006 Changemakers Innovation Awards celebrates remarkable individuals and organizations who are coming up with ideas that create opportunities for some of the world's poorest families to have a safe, decent, affordable place to call home," said Steve Weir, Asia-Pacific vice president for Habitat for Humanity and one of the competition's judges. "Practical solutions that work can have a profound influence as we face the challenge of tackling poverty housing in today's world. The United Nations estimates one out of every three city residents – an estimated one billion people – are slum dwellers, and the need for affordable housing in rural areas is just as daunting."
The 2006 Changemakers Innovation Awards competition is open to individuals, charitable organizations, private companies or public entities from any country. The key focus is on actual housing solutions for a significant number of people, not only in the location of origin, but also at the country, regional or global level. Submissions will be judged on the basis of their innovation, impact, strategy and sustainability.
A team of five judges will identify finalists, which the public can then vote among online. The judges are Peter Kimm, chairman of the board of the International Housing Coalition; Dr. George McCarthy, a senior program officer in development finance and economic security at the Ford Foundation; Erika Poethig, human and community development program officer with The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; Jeff Schaffer, assistant vice president, grant programs for the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation; and Weir.
Public online participation is a unique feature of the 2006 Changemakers Innovation Awards. Members of the public are encouraged to critique the online submissions, and applicants can refine their submissions based on the feedback to improve their chances of winning.
The top three winners will be selected by a public online poll, each receiving a cash prize of US$5,000. The Changemakers Innovation Award winners will be announced on Oct. 12, 2006.
About Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in Americus, Ga., in 1976, Habitat has built more than 200,000 houses in nearly 100 countries, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than one million people.

Clancy DuBos / Eyewitness News Political Analyst
When I think about Governor Bobby Jindal's budget practices, I'm reminded of the First Law of Holes, which is: If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
The governor doesn't seem to be aware of that law. If he is, he's been ignoring it for years. As a consequence, Louisiana finds itself in some very deep fiscal holes.
For example: the Medicaid Trust Fund for the Elderly once had more than $800 million. It was supposed to last for decades. But the governor – with help from state lawmakers – has been tapping it for the past few years to balance the state budget. If Jindal's next budget goes through as proposed, the trust fund will be broke by the middle of next year. And that's just one example, out of many.
Lawmakers go into session in less than three weeks, on March 10. If nothing changes, Bobby Jindal will be out of office, and probably out of Louisiana, by the time we finally stop digging. By then, we'll be in so deep that we may never be able to climb out.

Modular Motorcycle Helmets offer the most versatility when it comes to riding with the face shield and chin bar in the open or closed position. With the rise of adventure touring riders and more hybrid approaches to motorcycling, the modular helmet has gained great popularity over the last several years.
Most modular motorcycle helmets offer a chin bar and shield that flips up, but some, like the next-generation Shark Evoline, offer a multi-position chin bar which, when up completely locks back behind the head to offer a more aerodynamic line for riding at speed in the open position. When choosing a modular motorcycle helmet, aside from price, there are other factors to take into consideration: style of chin bar, face shield positioning, locked position, hinge shape and other optional features such as internal sun visors. Modular helmets are made by a number of manufacturers including Shark, Shoei, Nolan and KBC.

Finally, an effective, realistic education plan
By DOV LIPMAN
09/01/2012 22:20
Lapid's plan addresses the most pressing needs and corrects the areas of failure with regard to the three elements needed to succeed in education.
Photo: Courtesy
Based on the research carried out while studying for my master's in Education, and on 20 years of administrative and teaching experience, I support the plan proposed by Yair Lapid and his Yesh Atid party. I hope that parents and educators throughout Israel will study the plan and do the same.
The plan's premise is that we need to completely overhaul the education system. Our plummeting to 41st place in the world in math and science and 37th in reading comprehension reflect problems at the core of the education system. Minor reforms cannot correct these deficiencies.
With that in mind, Lapid made the Kennedy-esque declaration that in 10 years Israel will be restored to its rightful place among the top 10 countries in the world in education.
Success in education relates to three realms: students, teachers, and actual educational content. The first element of the Lapid plan is a renewed commitment to teachers. This begins with increased salaries so we are no longer the only OCED country in which beginning teachers' salaries are lower than the average starting salary across the workforce.
It continues with significantly improving teacher training and empowering teachers to have more flexibility in how they teach in their classrooms. Principals and teachers must run their schools – not regional boards, and certainly not the Education Ministry. All of the above will create an enthusiastic and motivated teaching corps and we will, no doubt, see a burst of creativity from our talented educators.
The second element is a renewed commitment to meeting the needs of every single student in the country. This begins with funding all their educational needs, including extra tutoring and special education assistance.
It includes spending at least 26 percent more on the needs of children in the periphery, in line with other OCED countries, to close the gaps between them and students in the more affluent city centers. This commitment also demands wheelchair access to all schools, legislating zero tolerance for discrimination in schools and following up with strict enforcement.
The most significant overhaul, however, relates to the actual education itself, and its current focus on matriculation exams.
It is well documented that when the entire aim of a course is to pass the final exam, teachers teach for the test and students are rarely inspired to love these subjects or internalize their lessons. The unfortunate result of the 152 matriculation exam options in the current system is that students are robbed of a true liberal arts education and lose out on the chance for the personal growth which comes from learning these subjects.
Finland, which leads the world in educational achievement, has just five mandatory matriculation exams. The Lapid plan calls for only four: in Hebrew, English, mathematics, and one elective. These subjects include specific informational goals, for which teaching for the tests is ideal.
However, in other mandatory subjects, such as Bible, heritage, history and science, teachers will be empowered and free to teach in creative ways, as they choose. This will expand their students' minds and truly inculcate a love for learning and internalizing these subjects.
As all educators and parents will agree, a large percentage of students are not interested in a classic education, even when taught in the manner described above. The fact that only 48.1% of students nationwide pass their matriculation exams proves this point.
These students are not only incapable of moving on to university but they also have nothing else in hand to enable them to sustain their future families. As a teacher, it pained me to see these students, whom I could identify from the first day of school.
They were forced to waste their time in a framework which was not only unproductive but actually damaging to them. Lapid proposes that at least half of the country's schools become technological, vocational schools, geared to each sector in the same manner as schools are currently designated – secular, religious Zionist and ultra- Orthodox.
This will enable those non-classical students to flourish and be prepared for life with the tools necessary to earn a living with a professional certificate in hand upon graduation from high school. This will also free teachers to truly inspire the more classic students with a liberal arts education without expending their energy on students who don't want to be there and simply cannot succeed.
One other aspect of Lapid's plan truly takes our future into consideration. Aside from the core curriculum, the plan calls for special courses and programs geared to breaking down barriers and fostering unity.
Religious students must be exposed to the great secular leaders of the state and come to understand that secular Israelis also live with values. Secular students must learn more about the religious and have greater familiarity with their Jewish heritage. In Lapid's own words, "A student cannot graduate without having had exposure to a page of the Talmud."
Many will wonder where the funding to implement this plane will come from. Lapid's team includes financial experts who have detailed how funds are already available for these proposals and how even more money will become available through his plan.
This is especially true in light of the resources saved by cutting back on matriculation exams and downsizing the Education Ministry's mammoth regional and national bureaucracy.
Lapid's plan addresses the most pressing needs and corrects the areas of failure with regard to the three elements needed to succeed in education. It provides for relevant, life preparing and life altering curricula and programs while cultivating an atmosphere that will energize enthusiastic and professional teachers. Both of these will produce engaged and inspired students.
I hope citizens of Israel are open-minded enough to embrace this plan. If we do, we can buckle up and prepare ourselves for an exciting ride with the actual implementation of this 10-year plan to restore Israel's educational superiority. This will inspire a new generation of educated and enthusiastic youth prepared to live meaningful and productive lives.

Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus doesn't take over the Roanoke Civic Center until May, but this week, two of its ambassadors are clowning around the Roanoke Valley generating buzz and doing community outreach.
David and Cherie Gregg are Ringling Bros' Ambassadors of Laughter, who tour the country promoting the show and performing for people of all ages through various outreach programs.
One of those is called Reading with Ringling, which encourages children to read books to spark their minds and imaginations. During the program, Dave and Cherie give a lively performance while reading their favorite book "If I Ran The Circus", then decide to put on their own circus -- doing everything from spinning plates, juggling, and balancing chairs on their chins.
"Anytime that we have been presented with things that are fun and exciting and little educational, that message sticks in our heads," said Dave Gregg. "When we're doing our Reading with Ringling Program, we show how much fun reading can be and it can broaden your imagination."
To give kids an extra incentive to read, Ringling Bros has come up with a special offer -- if your child reads five books between now and when the circus comes to Roanoke, they'll receive a free ticket. You can sign up for the program at the Roanoke Public Library on Williamson Road in Downtown Roanoke.
Other programs the ambassadors do include teaching older kids about the physics and science behind circus acts, encouraging kids to get active and fit, and working with young performers on improving their craft.
They make it a point to reach out to groups of children who might not otherwise get to experience the circus.
"We're going to the hospital today to cheer up some kids who may not be having the best of days and prove once again that laughter is the best medicine," said Cherie Gregg. "We want to bring smiles to kids who are going through some serious business."
Thursday at 1:00pm Dave and Cherie will perform at the Salem Family YMCA. Then at 3:00pm, they'll be at the Roanoke Children's Theater, where they'll run a workshop with the students in that program.
Friday at 1:30pm, they'll perform at the Kirk Family YMCA in Downtown Roanoke. Then from 4:00pm - 6:00pm, they'll entertain riders aboard the Starline Trolley.
Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus rolls into town May 2 - 5 at the Roanoke Civic Center. Tickets are available at the box office and online.

I'm also a photographer and artist and currently I've been running a portrait photography business and pursuing personal artistic endeavors.

So many things led me to volunteering for the blog and I enjoy helping this cause. Contact information firstname.lastname@example.com

Carol Norberg graduated from UC Berkeley in 1946 with a bachelor's in journalism, and continued in graduate school in political science. After working at the Oakland Tribune for three years, she married and started raising a family. Knowledge of the feminist movement eluded her during this time, but her love of history led her to join the curriculum committee of the new Jewish Community Center's school in Detroit. When she noticed that the Holocaust had been avoided, she volunteered to write that chapter and doing so launched her activism.
In the 1970's, back in California, she became a substitute teacher and began to scan textbooks for the history of women, something she found appallingly lacking. Still later, she became involvement in the Roseville Historical Society's efforts to restore the Carnegie Library into a museum and began organizing exhibits on women's history. This often brought her into conflict, because she had incorporated in the opening exhibit, controversial current information from the National Origination for Women. As chair of the city's new NOW chapter, she often combined announcements of both groups at meetings of other local organizations.
Her wealthy older sister had set up the Doris Foster Foundation to benefit women.

Marielle Tsukamoto was born in Sacramento, California on April 7, 1937 To Alfred and Mary Tsukamoto. Alfred Tsukamoto raised grapes and strawberries on on small farm. In 1942 all persons of Japanese ancestry 120,000, were ordered off the west coast. Marielle and her family went to an internment camp in Jermone, Arkansas taking only what they could carry. After the war, families were allowed to leave the camps. The Tsukamotos were among the fortunate few able to return to their farm. A friend, Bob Fletcher worked the land, paid the taxes and the mortgage and returned the farm to Alfred Tsukamoto. Mary Tsukamoto fulfilled a life-long dream to become a teacher. Motivated by her mother's love of teaching Marielle graduated from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California with a BA in education and began teaching in 1959. She devoted her life to a profession she loved. She taught in an military dependent's school in Japan for one year, spent 24 years teaching in San Jose before returning to her home town as a vice principal and principal of an elementary school in Elk Grove, California. Marielle retired in 2001. She worked as the Project Director of Educational Programs for the Anti-Defamation League from 2001-2003. During this time she continued to support an important education program started by Mary Tsukamoto, to teach children about the internment of the Japanese Americans and the loss of their civil rights during WWII. 6,000 students learn that in a Democracy it is important to protect and defend our Constitutional rights.
Margaret Zierdt earned a BA from Penn State University and MEds from University of Maryland and the University of Hawaii and was a public school teacher for 30 years. As a grad student in 1972 she examined sex roles in classic first grade literature and found great inequalities between female and male characters in these greatly loved stories. In a random selection of picture books published in 1970 and 1971 she found the same pattern of presenting female characters unable to solve problems. She worked on her school system's Title IX Self-Evaluation project which documented failure to meet Title IX standards in many areas, including athletic and sports programs, enrolment of girls in math and science courses, and recruitment programs for administrative assignments. As a member of the Title IX committee, she made many recommendations to the school board to achieve compliance with Title IX rules. She participated in a statewide program for guidance counselors to promote awareness of Title IX regulations. She also taught a course for staff development on women in the western world. As a member of AAUW she has given programs and written newsletter articles on women's history. In 1985 she researched and published a poster listing over 1000 American women of note by day of birth. This Celebrate Women poster has been updated and is carried by the NWHP.

|Jobs returning, but wages poor
By Robert Reich
THE GOOD NEWS: Jobs are returning. The bad news: Most of them pay lousy wages and provide low, if not nonexistent, benefits.
The trend toward lousy wages began before the Great Recession. According to a new report from the Economic Policy Institute, weak wage growth between 2000 and 2007, combined with wage losses for most workers since then, means that the bottom 60% of working Americans are earning less now than 13 years ago.This is also part of the explanation for

People are increasingly seeking work that is meaningful, engaged, and where their deeper life purpose is aligned.
Our sold-out event last year brought together 275 leaders and changemakers at Google's NYC offices. We are pleased to come back this year, with an expanded venue.

This is a wonderful ship with a great ports of call. My question is "why so expensive?" The cabins are almost identical to Celebrity or Holland American new builds. This is a foodies cruise and the food was wonderful. Each dinning room has a unique menu. It is somewhat complicated to get reservations. Do not waste money an upgrade to concierge level because you receive very little. We asked for help twice with dinner reservations and received nothing.
Shore excursions are three times the price you can get an shore. Airport transfers offered by ship should be ignored. Example: In Barcelona ship offered bus transfer to the airport for $79 per person. Cab fare is less than 40 euros. WHY? In Venice ship wanted $139 per person. Bus from airport to within one mile of ship 6 euros per person followed by an 11 euro cab.
At the time of our booking cruise line was offering prepaid gratuities and $500 on board credit. When we got our bill at the end of the cruise we received neither. Upon returning home we were told we had a" Special" fare and these percs were not included. All literature and the web site did not make any mention of "Specials" They had my money and did not care what I thought.
Overall very good cruise but not worth the money. Stick with Celebrity!!!

Rising Stars & Veterans Granted Wildcards into the Tournament
Indian Wells, USA
by MVT PR|
Rising stars Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori, Ryan Harrison, Bernard Tomic, Coco Vandeweghe, and Christina McHale were granted wildcards into the main draws for the BNP Paribas Open, to be held March 7-20, 2011 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, it was announced today by Steve Simon, tournament director. Veterans James Blake, Vania King, Jill Craybas and Sania Mirza were also given wildcards into the main draws.
Raonic, currently ranked No. 37 on the ATP World Tour (from No. 156 at the end of 2010), advanced through qualifying at the Australian Open this January and proceeded to blaze into the fourth round. Just a few weeks ago the 20-year old Canadian captured his first ATP World Tour title in San Jose and reached the finals at Memphis in back to back weeks. With his results he became the highest ranked Canadian singles player in the history of ATP Rankings (since 1973).
In addition, three other up-and-coming stars who have been granted wildcards are Kei Nishikori of Japan, who captured a title in 2008 at Delray Beach and reached the semifinals there last weekend, which helped him climb to No. 62 in the world; American Ryan Harrison, who advanced through qualifying at the US Open last fall and in the first round defeated top 20 star and defending BNP Paribas Open champion Ivan Ljubicic; and Australian Bernard Tomic, who reached the third round of the Australian Open earlier this year before falling to World No. 1 Rafael Nadal. Eighteen-year olds Harrison and Tomic are the two youngest players ranked in the top 200.
They are joined on the men's side by American veteran and former World No. 4 James Blake, who will be seeking to conjure up memories of 2006 when he made the finals of the BNP Paribas Open. The 10-time winner on the ATP World Tour battled injuries throughout 2010, but is starting to get healthy and looking to climb the rankings.
On the women's side a host of Americans have been granted wildcards into the main draw including youngsters Coco Vandeweghe, Christina McHale, Lauren Davis, and Sloane Stephens. Vandeweghe, from San Diego, was part of the US Fed Cup team that competed in the finals against Italy last November. A few weeks ago she reached the quarterfinals of Memphis. McHale, who reached the semifinals at Quebec City last fall, also helped the US Fed Cup team to the finals last year by assisting in a win over France early in 2010. Stephens played through qualifying at the BNP Paribas Open last year and made it to the second round of the main draw. Davis finished 2010 as the No. 3 ranked junior in the world.
In addition, veterans Vania King, who captured two Grand Slam doubles titles in 2010, (w/Shvedova) at Wimbledon and the US Open, and reached the semifinals at Strasbourg in singles; Jill Craybas, who reached the third round of the BNP Paribas Open and the quarterfinals of multiple Tour events in 2010; and Sania Mirza, a former top-30 ranked Indian star, also received wildcards into the main draw. There is one remaining women's wildcard to be granted.
Qualifying draw wildcards were given to three men's players including American Ryan Sweeting, who reached the quarterfinals at Delray Beach last week and also reached the third round of Wimbledon last year; Steve Johnson, the No. 1 singles and doubles player on the University of Southern California (USC) tennis team that captured back-to-back NCAA championships the last two years; and Greg Ouellette, a former Southeastern Conference Player of the Year and last season he captured three titles on the ITF circuit. There are two remaining men's qualifying draw wildcards, with one going to the winner of the BNP Paribas Open Pre-Qualifier, which will be held from March 2-6.
Former top 30 German star Sabine Lisicki, three young Americans, Madison Keys, Madison Brengle and Maria Sanchez, and rising Puerto Rican junior Monica Puig, were granted wildcards into the women's qualifying draw. Lisicki won a WTA event at Charleston in 2009 and reached No. 22 in the world, Keys became one of the youngest winners in WTA history two years ago when she won her first career WTA match at Ponte Vedra when she was 14 years old, Brengle has multiple ITF circuit titles to her name, Sanchez is currently the top ranked player in women's college tennis and plays for USC, and Puig recently reached the finals at the Australian Open Junior Championships. There is one more women's qualifying draw wildcard, which will be given to the winner of the BNP Paribas Open Pre-Qualifier. Between the men and women, the Pre-Qualifier had more than 140 entries.

It started as a fistfight, but police say an altercation ended in a Berlin neighborhood ended with a man shot in the stomach by an arrow fired from a compound bow.
According to investigators, the incident happened Monday night along the first block of North Brill Avenue.
Police say two men, Kereti Paulsen and another resident, got into a fistfight. When the fight broke up, police say everyone but Paulsen went back inside.
Another man, 25-year-old Timothy Canfield who was not involved in the fistfight, walked outside carrying a compound bow and a quiver of arrows, police said.
Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk and Berlin Borough Police Chief Robert Carrara say Canfield has been charged with murder in connection to the death of Paulsen, who was from Cape May Court House.
Police say Canfield admitted he drove out to a wooded area in Winslow and disposed of the bow and arrows. Investigators later found the arrows Tuesday.
Police say an autopsy conducted Tuesday revealed the arrow perforated an iliac vein in Paulsen's pelvis.

Water resource issues of the 21st century are monumentally complex, transcending cultures and crossing state and national borders. The University of Idaho prepares students to address these issues through the Water Resources Program, a graduate-level curriculum encompassing study, research, networking and community involvement. Water Resources includes a research and outreach initiative, Waters of the West (WoW), led by nine WR faculty. WoW works off-campus to help communities reach solutions to their water basin problems. Its method is to deploy an interdisciplinary team of WR faculty and students to perform an integrated analysis of a water basin, assimilating economic, environmental, and social characteristics of a water basin.
UI also administers the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute. IWRRI performs research on issues of water supply, water quality and water management affecting the State of Idaho and the region. By drawing on faculty expertise within Idaho's university system, IWRRI is able to create inter-institutional research teams to address our most pressing problems.

ROSSVILLE, Ill. (AP) - A small eastern Illinois community is selling off about a dozen lots at $1 each, hoping to convince people to relocate to Vermillion County from the big city.
Rossville mayor Richard Queen tells The (Champaign) News-Gazette there's no catch to the deal. But he says the new landowners will have to agree to build a home on each site.
They'll have 90 days to come up with construction plans and financing. They'll have a year to build a home.
If they don't, the property returns to the village that's about 35 miles northeast of Champaign.
Queen says the community of about 1,300 residents hopes to recoup its investment through property taxes on the land.
So far, the offer involves 11 plots in a subdivision, but could be expanded.

Neil on '3G': "The film is a psychological horror. It's very interesting, there is suspense, thrill. If I have to compare, then I might compare it with three Hollywood films, which are my favourite too and they are - 'What Lies Beneath', 'The Omen' and 'The Sixth Sense'."

About our Research
Understanding the human world
Cardiff was ranked first in the UK for both social sciences and city and regional planning in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. Cardiff experts in these fields, along with colleagues in archaeology, architecture, business, law and politics, make up one of the UK's greatest concentrations of expertise on human society.
This great range puts us demand with policy-makers, professional training bodies and research funding bodies. Cardiff researchers inform policy at home and abroad in such areas as health inequalities, child nutrition, maritime safety standards and policy. We have also made considerable impact on the built environment, both past through dramatic archaeological discoveries of the ancient world - and present through architectural and planning projects around the world.
Our research feeds back into continual improvement in the professions, including architects, urban planners, lawyers, accountants and archaeologists. This strength has won considerable funding support for research units in fields as diverse as sustainable business practice and the ethics of genetic research. We have also won a coveted place in the national network of Doctoral Training Centres, training the next generation of high-level researchers in areas including management, education and economics.
The creation of the University's Sustainable Places Research Institute combines strengths in planning, architecture, social science, law, business and many scientific, technological, engineering, mathematical and biomedical disciplines to take a unique multidisciplinary approach to the creation of sustainable city-regions around the world.

Fourteen children were adopted Friday morning in Smith County.
"Our kids are just kids, and what does every kid want? They want their family," said Judge Carole Clark.
It's something Louis and Burnette Williams Junior have given all of these children; loving people to call family and a safe place to call home.
With a house full of six children, Lois describes her home as "happy, cheerful."
Three of these children were adopted years ago and they are excited to add two brothers and a sister to their growing family.
"They've mostly been part of our family because we've had them longer, but we finally got to keep them in our family; they can't go anywhere else, they are part of our family," explained 15-year-old Chase Williams.
The Williams family waited anxiously to go before the judge and they were all smiles when Judge Clark made everything official.
"We were getting adopted," explained 9-year-old Montrail Williams with a smile.
The Williams said it has been a long journey, but with this end goal in mind, they persevered.
"It's worth every bit of it, every moment. All the cries, the restless nights, it's worth it, yes," Lois said.
"Some of our children have just waited way too long now the real family that's their real family is here. It's just a miracle and I'm just so excited. The two days a year I do this are the happiest days of my whole year," said Judge Clark.

With these colder fall mornings, signs are reappearing at our drug stores, doctors' offices and hospitals — it's time to start preparing for flu season. Although the most infections typically occur in January and February, flu season runs from October through May — so it's smart to get vaccinated early in order to stay healthy this fall.
"If you want to stay well, not miss work or play, you need to get a flu shot," said Dr. Michael Parry, director of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology at .
As of 2010, the flu shot is recommended for everyone over the age of six months. It is particularly important for people in risk groups or with close contact with people in risk groups.
"Its really important that children are vaccinated as soon as they're able — they're often in school or a daycare around lots of other children," said Dr. Wanda Olayiwola, chief medical officer at Community Health Center.
Groups particularly at risk for complications from the flu include children, people over the age of 65, pregnant women, and people with health conditions including heart, lung, or kidney disease or a weakened immune system.
Along with getting vaccinated, it is important to be vigilant about hand washing during flu season, particularly in public places. Some doctors recommend taking vitamin C and vitamin D during flu season to help the immune system in the winter months. Additionally, smokers are more likely to get the flu and to get sicker than non-smokers.
"If you smoke you are more susceptible — it's not too late to quit," Parry said.
While it's impossible to predict just what a flu season will be like in advance, there are plenty of people out there trying to do just that every year.
"Looking at the southern hemisphere and their winter, we can expect an active year, but not overwhelming. We expect a mix of strains," Parry said. "H1N1 will still be a player this year. Last year, we had more cases of H1N1 than seasonal flu, whether we'll see that again this year, we'll just have to wait and see."
This year's flu vaccine includes an A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus, an A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like virus; and a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus. Shipments of the vaccine began in August and will continue throughout September and October.
The vaccine is available primarily in two ways — an inactivated vaccine delivered as a shot injected with a needle and a live (but weakened) vaccine delivered as a nasal spray. The nasal spray is recommended only for healthy people between the ages of two and 49 who are not pregnant.
"The nasal spray is a hit with children that are afraid of needles, actually, adults who are afraid of needles too," Olayiwola said.
A high-dose vaccine, launched last year, will be available again this flu season and is recommended for some people over the age of 65 who need a larger amount of vaccine in order to be protected.
This year also marks the launch of a new intradermal vaccine. While this method of receiving a flu shot is no more effective than a traditional shot, it is virtually painless and may be more accessible to people whose fear of needles has prevented them from getting vaccinated in the past.
"It's a very small needle and goes in very shallow — we're going to give it a try for some of our employees and see how it goes this year," Parry said. "It could really change the way we do this in the future."
It takes about two weeks for the flu vaccine to take effect and vaccination lasts for about one year. Since the flu shot changes each year, it is important to get vaccinated again every fall.
While allergic reactions to the flu shot are rare, it is important to let your doctor know if you have any severe allergies, particularly to eggs. Speak up if you've ever had a severe reaction to a flu shot in the past or if you've ever had Guillain-Barre syndrome.
"Prepare for flu season as you'd prepare for any health problem," Olayiwola said. "Know how and where to get vaccinated and follow all the precautions for any communicable disease."
Every town in our area offers several options for getting vaccinated. Flu shots are available at many retail locations including , Walmart, and where flu shots are $29.99. While most national and regional health insurance plans cover some or all of the cost, CVS is offering uninsured people a $5 CVS gift card when they get vaccinated.
Many hospitals, health centers, and doctors' offices begin to give flu shots during the last week of September and will continue throughout flu season while supplies of the vaccine are available.
community flu clinics began on Thursday and will be held at multiple times and locations through October.
Stamford Hospital will launch their Fight the Flu campaign at on Tuesday.
Residents of Westport and Weston can make an appointment online to receive a flu shot from the Westport Weston Health District.
will offer flu clinics in Ridgefield, Redding, and Wilton at various times and locations now through December.
Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County will give flu shots at , , and with dates throughout the fall months. The will offer flu clinics at various locations in the community through October. (See PDF files for additional information.)
The Center for Disease Control updates a flu season map throughout the year. For more information about this year's vaccine and recommendations, visit their website.

Remember the big steel box covering the blow out preventer ?
Or the bowl shaped thing that sucked up as much sea water as oil.
What you didn't see was a direct connection to the cut pipe.
Clamping on with a grapple connection , forming a complete seal locking the oil in and the sea water out.
Now count how many days the oil spilled after the pipe was cut , before capping of the well.
4-22-2010 Horizon sinks.
6-3 2010 crews cut pipe on day 43 .
7-12-2010 cap and stack installed ending 82 days of unrestricted oil flow into the Gulf of Mexico .
This was just one well, imagine several all at once.
I've filled for patent on such a devise.
This is to bring attention to the environmental tragedy not forgetting Human lives were lost in this accident .

Service on the Sun was excellent, the staff friendly and helpful and the ship itself is a nice size.
We found breakfast in the buffet, which was often crowded, to be a bit boring with the choice not changing from day to day. Most of the meals in the dining room were fairly good but never really great. We tried both the Italian and French specialty restaurants to be only so-so and had no desire to return to either. Some other people thought differently and some agreed with our opinion. In the Italian I chose the calamari which was very good and the Pork Saltimbucca which was a bit dry and ordinary. In the French Bistro I chose Coquille St.Jaques - a bit tasteless, and Boullabaise which was nothing like The French dish of the same name. It was a thin red base, quite tasty, with potato and other vegetables as well as seafood. Not bad for seafood soup but certainly not Boullabaise that I expected. All in all, a bit second rate.
There were some nice touches on this cruise that we haven't seen on others, e.g. when returning to the ship on port days, on the docks they provided either hot chocolate or other drinks and cakes or ice cream. However, there were no toiletries in the cabin, only dispensers of liquid soap and shampoo, and no chocolates on the bed at night and no newspaper as with some lines. Also prior to disembarkation we were not given any information and were left to find out for ourselves what their arrangements were. Some people did receive this information but we did not. To sum up, although this was our second Norwegian cruise, I don't think I would choose them again.

Reports about the University of Maine School of Economics' study of garbage in Maine, and what's in it that could be reused, recycled or composted, appeared on the Village Soup website. A Maine Public Broadcasting Network report about the research was posted on the Natural Resources Council of Maine's website. School of Economics Director George Criner says almost half of what's thrown in the trash could be diverted at substantial costs savings to Maine communities. Researchers will explain the project Friday, Nov. 18 in front of Memorial Union during a trash-sorting demonstration designed to encourage recycling.
