Walk Thru the Old Testament is without a doubt the world's most popular seminar event. And it's not hard to see why. Audience members are taken on an unforgettable adventure back to the beginning of time. From there, the instructor introduces participants to prominent Bible characters and weaves together their various stories onto one clear timeline. As participants learn about the major people, places, and events of the Old Testament, God's ultimate plan of preparing the world for the coming of Jesus Christ is revealed like never before.
And it is a lot of fun too! Forget tedious note taking. Attendees will learn the material using hand signs, catch phrases, group reviews, and enjoyable interaction with the instructor. Most attendees are usually so moved by the conclusion of Walk Thru the Old Testament, that over eighty percent of them will commit to read their Bibles and pray daily for at least thirty days.
Today, more and more people do not accept the Old Testament as anything more than interesting Bible stories. Today's secular theories dispute much of His truths. Walk Thru the Old Testament introduces people to how the Old Testament links together and ultimately leads to the cross - and rekindles a desire to seek God through daily Bible reading.
While the goal of Walk Thru the Old Testament is to get people into the Word, the ambition of Walk Thru the New Testament is to get Christians into the world. Your heart will be moved as you put the events of the life of Jesus Christ in order. Your soul will be stirred as you walk with Paul on his missionary journeys and place in order the events of the early Church. Learning the success stories of Christians that have gone before you will give you courage to reach your lost world.
Alumni who have attended Walk Thru the Old Testament and those who are attempting their first "walk" will be impressed, entertained, and educated with the same wonderful techniques that made the Old Testament "walk" so memorable. Important concepts are taught by using hand signs, catch phrases and group reviews.
By the end of the day participants will have studied the significance of the 400 silent years dividing the Old and New Testaments, considered each gospel individually and together as the most significant biography ever written, and unlocked powerful and applicable lessons from the lives of beloved Bible characters. Most attendees are usually so moved by the conclusion of Walk Thru the New Testament, that over eighty percent of them will commit to read their Bibles and pray daily for at least thirty days.
KIDS IN THE BOOK : Old or New Testament
Stories, games, puzzles, magic tricks, skits. It may sound like too much fun to be part of a Bible seminar, but in reality these are the very things that stimulate children's imaginations and creativity so that the Word of God can be planted deeply in their hearts.
It could be compared to learning a sport. Like learning the basics of basketball, learning the basics of the Bible as a child means that a special imprinting on that young mind will carry into adulthood and can never be discarded. Because of that, it is vitally important that children are given every opportunity to learn the basics of their beliefs.
Kids in the Book gives kids a general knowledge of every book in the Old/New using the same hand signs and catch phrases that the adults learn. It also gives children a structure for which they can plug in all of the Bible stories they have learned and see the common thread of God's divine will working to bring about His purpose for mankind.
Kids come away from their seminar with a Bible overview that will stay with them for years to come. Most of them will make a commitment to pray and read their Bibles every day.
Does the Bible have anything to say about marriage today? Many people don't think so. Even some pastors will tell you that the Bible in regards to marriage is outdated. However, it is only when the Biblical principles concerning marriage are understood the way God intended them - not the way society has interpreted them - that husbands and wives can find true confidence and freedom in their roles and God-given joy in their union.
A Biblical Portrait of Marriage is an exciting adventure of evaluation, challenge, and lasting life change. No matter what level of maturity or happiness a marriage is on, the clear guidelines, vivid examples, sobering warnings, and wise counsel of this conference will enrich the relationships between husbands and wives on many levels. For single adults, it will create an undeniably clear, Biblical roadmap for choosing a godly marriage partner.
Issues such as dealing with in-laws, dividing household chores, managing finances, and building communication skills are all addressed using God's instructions. By the time A Biblical Portrait of Marriage is over, spouses will leave encouraged and confident in the special role God has created for them in their marriage, or their marriage to be.
God uniquely created the husband and the wife for one another - to complement each other, to overcome the problem of individual aloneness, and to experience a vital, shared intimacy - teamwork at its best! To often, however, the very characteristics that drew couples together before marriage can become sources of conflict after the vows have been taken. That is where Understanding the Love of Your Life can help.
Instead of growing together over the years, couples find themselves drifting emotionally as they focus more on activities, children, and their own personal pursuits. Understanding the Love of Your Life offers a refreshing opportunity for husbands and wives to rediscover how God made them especially for each other. This seminar focuses on improving compatibility, deepening communication, and increasing versatility through humor and practical insights.
Using a fun and insightful personality discovery tool, couples will soon be on the road to greater understanding of each other, and ultimately a more joyful, fulfilling marriage. God gave husbands and wives strengths and weaknesses in different areas so that together they could be complete as a team. By understanding the love of their lives, couples will experience marital teamwork at its best!
Some people seem to have a natural gift for helping others learn. Whatever they teach, their students love to learn it and lasting life change takes place inside them. While some people have this natural gift for teaching, anyone can learn how to impart knowledge in fun, effective, and memorable ways. It's called The 7 Laws of the Learner.
The 7 Laws of the Learner may be the most accepted and acclaimed teacher-training course available today. It is not just about having better teaching skills. Rather, this event is about the heart, soul, and mind of the teacher and the student.
The 7 Laws of the Learner will show teachers how to bring out the best in their students. It will give them practical principals for motivating students to personalize Biblical principals, instruct them how to simplify, rearrange, and package material so that it slips almost effortlessly into student's long term memories, and so much more.
An obvious difference exists between merely speaking information and communicating information. The Seven Laws of the Learner presents the principals that will allow teachers, leaders, parents - absolutely anyone - to communicate in such a way that lasting life change takes place in the minds and hearts of those they are speaking to.
When asked by students what the number one thing they would change about their teachers would be, without fail they answered that their teachers needed to be less boring. Teachers don't want to bore their students, but it can happen so easily when their principals, personality, and methodology are not empowered by Teaching With Style.
Teaching With Style will identify and illustrate universal characteristics of style such as creativity, humor, and conviction from a Biblical perspective. Participants will learn among other things how to think on their feet, overcome fear, and listen to their students. They will also discover that their external style is ultimately determined by their internal convictions.
The goal of Teaching With Style is to help godly communicators communicate like God. After all, isn't he the one that used a rainbow, a burning bush, a flood, and countless parables and illustrations in the New Testament? God is never dull or boring - just the opposite! Is it too much of a stretch to say that Christians should pattern their communication after Him?
God made all of us different-not to cause arguments or irritation, but to add variety in our relationships, to provide strengths for our weaknesses, and to build the Body of Christ. If approached wisely, relationships can be among the most rewarding experiences. Yet it seems to take a lifetime to gain the insight that makes communication satisfying. If you want your people to have that kind of discernment right now, then they are ready for Solving the People Puzzle.
Using a highly effective personality discovery tool, insights are gained to help attendees work, live, and interact in harmony. This event, however, is not simply a secular behavior science course. Solving the People Puzzle starts with the foundation of scriptural principals and in a few short hours brings skills that work for a lifetime.
Once attendees discover which personality type they are most like, the instructor will introduce them to a Bible character - Peter, Paul, Abraham, or Moses - that most represents their personality type. They will get to see how God worked in ancient days so they can trust Him to take care of them in a personal, relevant way today.
What is your temptability quotient? Are you aware of your temptation patterns? Can the people in your church answer these questions? If not, then chances are that they may be fighting a losing battle to stay morally pure. Purity is neither mysterious nor only for the super spiritual. There are definite, predictable steps that lead to both sin and purity that anyone can choose to take. Break the chains and give your congregation the tools they need to have Personal Holiness in Times of Temptation.
Personal Holiness will transform attendees' concepts of holiness and give them the practical, down-to-earth, Biblically based help for living the life of moral victory they've been praying for. Participants will learn exactly where they are on their journey of holiness; they will discover that holiness is not some stuffy, boring concept, but the only key that fits the door to real happiness, peace, and confidence in their lives through Jesus Christ.
Attendees will learn to recognize when they are most susceptible to temptation and what their personal triggers tend to be. This seminar also speaks clearly about one of the areas that many find most tempting - their sexual purity. Personal Holiness in Times of Temptation emphasizes God's special call on each man and woman to be "set apart," or holy, because nothing in their walk with the Lord is more important - or more rewarding - than becoming a person of holiness.
Do you sense that the time has come in your congregation for men and women to reach for the next level in some area of their lives, be it their marriage, family, personal growth, or walk with God? If so, then they need to encounter Experiencing Spiritual BreakThroughs.
Experiencing Spiritual BreakThroughs is a compelling presentation of the three stages of spiritual growth: Conflict, Compromise, and Commitment. Participants will learn which stage they are presently in and how it influences every decision they are making in their lives.
Participants will discover how to experience a breakthrough to the spiritual stage of Commitment. They should come prepared to experience profound renewals in their personal walk with God, marriage, and family.
Leadership comes in many forms and at every level. Jobs may very, but there are times at church, work, or home, when we are all called to lead. Leading for Life Change combines three dynamic WTB seminars, 'Solving the People Puzzle', 'Understanding the Love of Your Life', and 'Building a Winning Team'. This exciting combination consists of an exciting sequence of lectures, case studies, films, workshops, and group discussions where you will new skills that can dramatically transform your life and effectiveness as a Christian leader. Once you have gone through the course, you will become associate Walk Thru the Bible instructor, able to teach "Solving the People Puzzle" and "Understanding the Love of Your Life" to small groups within your church.
BreakThru Conferences are an exciting weeklong (can be longer or shorter) line-up of some of the best Christian communicators teaching some of the most enriching personal, professional, marital and spiritual growth seminars available today. In addition to a tantalizing buffet of Walk Thru The Bible seminars, BreakThru Conferences include special keynote speakers. In the past, WTB has engaged such notables as Dr. Bruce Wilkinson, Dr. David Jeremiah, Dr. Bob Reccord, Dr. Jerry Vines, Dr. Howard Hendricks, Becky Tirabassi, and Anne Graham Lotz. BreakThru Conferences are an excellent way to inspire your church to "breakthru" the barriers that have held them back from experiencing the next level of commitment in their personal, professional, marital, and spiritual lives. the Bible.
Now there is a powerful live parenting seminar that any church can afford. Effective Parenting in a Defective World will equip parents to help their children face the challenges of life in the 21st century.

Parents learn five major life messages they should communicate to their children; They provide your child with the ammunition to face life's biggest challenges - and come out victorious!
Are you ready to reach for the extraordinary? To ask God for the abundant blessings He longs to give you? Join Pastor Gary Simons, approved Instructor, trained by Dr. Bruce Wilkinson to discover how the remarkable prayer of a little-known Bible hero can release God's favor, power, and protection. Within twelve months of its initial release, this little book sold almost 4 million copies. When you read it, you'll see how one daily prayer can help you leave the past behind and break through to the life you were meant to live! This seminar will encourage you to realize how much God wants to bless us so that we bring greater glory to Him!
Walk thru the Bible Ministries explores compelling images from Bible passage of John 15 that asking for God's blessings may result in suffering and difficult circumstances. Through Jesus' symbolic portrayal of himself as the vine, the Father as vinedresser, and his followers as the branches, Christians can better understand God's methods for ensuring personal fulfillment, and find a closer walk with him.
Grapes need pruning--and so do Christians. God's "pruning" is painful, but that this pruning away of "self" is necessary to gain desirable results. He notes, "Pruning will intensify as God's shears cut closer to the core of who you are." Christians are not to confuse "pruning" with "discipline," and offers a helpful chart to distinguish between the two. Your Instructor will discuss four levels of fruit bearing, from "no fruit" to "much fruit," and the connection between God's pruning and an abundant harvest.
"If you don't know and apply Jesus's vineyard teachings, you'll never experience the abundant life you long for. There is simply no other way." Christians aspiring to maturity in their spiritual lives will likely sit up and take notice.
Walk Thru the Bible Bermuda would like to introduce our new Teach for Life Change (TLC) Certification Program to local churches in Bermuda.
Although this Teacher's Training Program is available to lay people, it is especially designed for those who communicate God's Word on any level, including Sunday School Teachers, Youth Leaders, Pastors, etc. We are excited to see what God is going to do in Bermuda as we take the teaching of the Word of God seriously and allow God to train us all to be the most effective teachers in our local churches.
The TLC Certification is a non-intensive 4-year program that involves 4 core Teacher Training Seminars and 3 seminar electives.
"Our people have been made alive in their minds to God's Word. I know of no other ministry today that so clearly and consistently helps people to grasp a survey of the Word of God."
- Dr. Chuck Swindoll, Ph.D., President, Dallas Theological Seminar, Pastor & Author OUR MISSION "Discipleship Ministries is a non-denominational ministry to local churches promoting the spiritual growth of adults, teens and children through interactive seminars, teacher, & leadership training." Matthew 28:19 & 20 Discipleship Ministries is also headquarters of Walk Thru the Bible Ministries Bermuda.
The first step in this process is to register for the TLC Program. This program can be completed in a minimum of 2 years (see Two-Year Curriculum Rotation Chart on Page 9) or expanded over a longer period of time. This is accomplished by completing the 4-core Walk Thru Teacher Training Seminars…
…along with the corresponding follow-up courses and 3 electives from any of the remaining seminars. Note: Attending a full Saturday BreakThru conference is an equivalent for an elective.
Each of the 4 live Core Teacher's Training Seminars is followed-up by a 6 - 8 week training course with approved Walk Thru the Bible Instructors. Classes are usually held on Thursday evenings. This ensures that Teachers-In-Training obtain a working knowledge of the material taught in the live seminar to bring the classroom of their local church, youth group, etc.
Walk Thru Bermuda Seminars and courses are approved under the Association of Christian Schools International. In this case, teachers-in-training will be awarded an official ACSI certificate for two Christian education units at the conclusion of the follow-up course. These seminars will also give a working overview for further formal study at any Bible College or University.
Walk Thru the Bible Bermuda will track the progress of your Sunday School Teachers, Youth Leaders, etc. of your local church through our Discipleship Ministries full-time office. As Sunday School Superintendent you can obtain a detailed progress report of each of your Sunday School Teachers, Youth workers, etc.

I have a friend who is very difficult. The problem is, she doesn't even know it. How can you have relationships -multiples, not just one- filled with conflict and not know you are the source?
My experience is that difficult people are impenetrably hard to deal with for two reasons:
When I was speaker for a Physician Recruitment Healthcare Conference in Boston, there were several sessions on dealing with difficult people... with apologies to doctors!
One of the other speakers for the healthcare conference showed research that suggests that difficult people get better shifts, more pay, and they work with better people. In short,they are getting a lot out of their tirades.
If you let difficult people bring you down, realize that your quality of life is more important than you think. This person's random episodes of misery are affecting your buoyant optimism and ability to remain positive. You must confront and deal with difficult behavior.
3 Steps to Deal with Difficult People:
My experience is that difficult people respect when others stand up to them. Some may not even be aware of the behavior that has become habitual for them.
In some cases you may have to agree to disagree. In the case of my friend, when I tell her what bothers me, she refuses to listen and accept responsibility. In some relationships (when you have a choice) you just have to assess if this is worth it. Either you cut your losses and move on, or you consciously decide to pay the price for the sake of the relationship.
As a speaker for the healthcare conference my motivational speech was about Levity. We discussed how to use humor to keep conflict and tension low and morale high.
Check here more motivational speaker resources on dealing with conflict with humor.

Here's a slightly reworked version of a piece I wrote for a Thunder tourbook a few years ago. Apologies is you've already read it but I couldn't think of anything to write, and it still makes me laugh....As a small boy, I was curious, boisterous, and always up for anything (easily led) as well as being extremely accident prone. I was always in some sort of trouble or scrape. A few examples follow :-
The Insult to Injury ListAs if that lot wasn't enough, I have also:-Fallen off a two storey roof.Piloted a supermarket trolley into a canal.Been thrown head first through a plate glass shop window.I bet you're wondering whether I was:-A. Just plain unlucky?B. Gullible?C. Simply stupid?orD. Mentally unbalanced?These are all valid questions, and I suppose the answer is probably ALL OF THE ABOVE.I can swear categorically that this tale of woe is all true, in actual fact there are many other pain filled events I've omitted, but I'm sure that by now you must be thinking you can have too much of a good thing, and I think I hear a storm coming, I wouldn't want to get electrocuted whilst typing......Pip Pip

Fox News: Pre-Spinning the Exit Polls
Chris Wallace just announced that Fox News would not be reporting any exit polls because they are likely to favor Obama.
Personally, I can't believe Fox tipped their alternate universe media strategy like this. In two years, I guess I won't have to be surprised when they refuse to report on the U.S.'s ratification of the International Criminal Court because it presumes an Obama presidency.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 3, 2008
Following Big Sky's Sudden Financial Collapse, Stranding North Country Communities And Travelers, Schumer Pushes Dot To Entice New And Reliable Air Carriers To Region
Air Service across the North Country is Dependent on the Financial Support Provided by the EAS Program Subsidies to Attract Air Carriers
Schumer Calls on DOT to Offer Necessary Financial and Logistical Support to Rapidly Lure New Air Carriers to the Region and Ensure they Offer Long-term Reliable Air Service
In Effort to Prevent Big Sky from Leaving Flyers and Airports High and Dry, Schumer Calls on DOT to Closely Monitor Reimbursements for Outstanding Tickets and Back-Payments Owed to Local Airports
In the wake of Big Sky's sudden financial collapse, leading to its abrupt termination of air service in five communities across the
Schumer also ratcheted-up pressure on DOT to aggressively solicit new carriers and to ensure Big Sky isn't pocketing any of the EAS money so the local airports aren't left footing the bill.
"Big Sky's sudden collapse has made it crystal clear that in choosing a replacement air carrier for the
Big Sky recently announced it was terminating air service on January 7, 2008 for
DOT has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to fill this service that is due January 11th, 4 days after Big Sky vacates these markets. As local travelers could face a period of several weeks or months before a new carrier is able to begin service, it is critical that DOT aggressively court airlines to apply for this service and see that a decision on a new carrier is made as quickly as possible.
Schumer, a longtime champion for expanding air service to the
In his letter, Schumer encouraged the DOT to reach out to potential bidders to ensure that a breadth of good options is identified for each of these markets.
Furthermore, EAS supported air routes around the country are generally operated by relatively smaller airlines, but rely on code-sharing agreements with major airlines such as Delta, Jet Blue and USAir to name a few. These code-sharing partnerships allow those who travel on these routes to take advantage of the existing hubs, connecting flights and automated reservation systems of their larger counterparts.
Schumer, therefore, argued that it is important that DOT not only reach out to primary EAS applicants, but also to the potential code-sharing partners of these airlines. From both a financial and operational standpoint, these arrangements often take time to be completed, so engaging these potential partners as early as possible is critical.
Finally, Schumer in his letter noted that several of the cities served under Big Sky are currently owed payment by the airline. It's been reported to Schumer's office that Massena's Airport is owed $5,000 and
It has also been reported to Schumer's office that there as many as 14,000 tickets for travel on Big Sky after their suspension of service on January 7th. Schumer asked DOT's Aviation Consumer Protection Bureau to monitor this situation and ensure that alternative travel arrangements or refunds were provided to all people with tickets on Big Sky.

JVC has jumped on the 4K bandwagon with three new Ultra HD LCD TVs at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The 55-inch DM55UXA ($1,899.99), 65-inch DM65UXA ($2,499.99) and the largest JVC TV to date, the 85-inch DM85UXA ($9,999.99), are made for the JVC brand by AmTRAN Video Corp., an Irvine, Calif.-based LCD TV maker.
The new lineup has direct LED backlight and 10-bit color capabilities in the 3840 x 2160 resolution.

The displays are also highlighted by a smart TV platform that delivers access to streaming audio, video, games, and multimedia services. The displays also come with a sleek remote with a full QWERTY keyboard.

David Guetta Reflects On Influencing Hip Hop's Sound, "Where Dem Girls At" With Nicki Minaj
Exclusive: French deejay/producer David Guetta recognizes the fact that since his hits with Black Eyed Peas and Akon, American radio trends are changing, even in Rap.
French deejay/producer David Guetta has deeply influenced the way American mainstream music sounds since 2009. From hits with Black Eyed Peas, Akon and Rihanna, the EMI Records global star has merged urban and Pop music with a sound that's been appealing to today's superstars.
For Guetta's fifth album, planned for later this year, he adds to that growing catalogue with "Where Dem Girls At" featuring Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj. This afternoon, David spoke with HipHopDX about the chart-topping single's premature release. "I have a really big record at the moment ("Sweat" Remix) in Europe that wasn't really [worked] in the U.S., a Hip Hop remix with Snoop [Dogg]. It's absolutely huge here [in Europe] and everywhere. I wasn't planning to put out ["Where Dem Girls At"] so soon, but some hackers stole the accapella and made some really-not-good music around it, and put it on the 'net under my name. That was really terrible for me," admitted Guetta.
Acting fast, the deejay with a background in House teamed with EMI to strike back, putting out the actual version of "Where Dem Girls At." David explained, "So we had to put out the record without any promotion, without having the video ready, and still the record is #1 [throughout] the world, it's #3 in the U.S., so it's really incredible. It shows the power of music."
While Young Money's Barbie was reportedly a late addition to the single Guetta sang the multi-talented Queens, New Yorker some praises in saying, "She's really crazy and an amazingly talented artist. I've been chasing her for [months]. She delivered like 300%."
With that #3 appearance, Guetta has achieved another major success in the States. The producer was asked, given years of experience, how he knows what works in the clubs as compared to what exclusively sounds good in studio monitor speakers. "There's a very big difference, between being in the studio and seeing the record happen. For me, all my inspiration comes from the clubs. It's also the best way to [evaluate] the record." He revealed, "I will always test it. You'll see me deejaying in the clubs, and writing stuff down [as I play it, based on crowd reaction]...even with Hip Hop records, I like when they make you dance."
Along those same lines, Guetta was asked about others running with his sound. The Electronic renaissance in Hip Hop has been strong since 2009, as traditionally street emcees like 50 Cent are toying with possibly heading in Guetta's direction. "For two months I was in Los Angeles, recording vocals for my album. I was listening to the radio, and to be honest, everybody and everything that was on the radio sounded pretty much like what I do. Before I produced "I Gotta Feeling" and "Sexy Bitch" with Akon, all those records, no one was playing these type of records on America radio, up-tempo. It's really incredible. I'm proud of it, not just for me, but my community - all the deejays, producers that have been working in this music."

Are you having fun? I've noticed among women healing from divorce or newly single that there is a definite lack of fun in their lives. Having fun gives us emotional balance. It refreshes us. It helps us to re-create ourselves.
The reasons fun may not be showing up in your life are obvious. Stress and worry do not lead to fun. Maybe you've had "couple" friends in the past and it's hard to interact with them as a single woman. Many of the friends who you had commonalities with as a married woman no longer share common concerns. Whatever the reason, it's time to make new friends.
If you are involved in church, notice the other women who seem to have common interests. Invite her or them to do something. What to do? Google your community's chamber of commerce or activity guide and pick something. It doesn't have to be the activity of your dreams, just something to get out and have fun for a few hours. You may find a festival, a concert, play or gallery opening.
How about a group that does an activity together? Choir, exercise, dance, yoga, tai chi, or any other activity you do with others can lead to having fun. Maybe there is a skill or activity you've always wanted to learn. This could be a great time to try something new. Most communities have a variety of offerings such as quilting classes, garden club, book discussion groups, cooking classes, writing classes, photography club, or whatever interests you. The list is only limited by what you are willing to try.
As you are having fun with others, you will have the opportunity to connect with like minded women and create friendships.

Colonial Forge development under construction
Augustine Homes has started construction on its Colonial Forge subdivision off Courthouse Road near the high school with the same name in Stafford County.
A section of Colonial Forge that has been approved for 67 single-family homes is under construction, according to Stafford planning staff. The project also includes the construction of about 7,000 linear feet of roadway named Woodcutters Road, which will connect Courthouse Road and Kellogg Mill Road. Augustine Homes also has an approved construction plan for 20 single-family homes and 104 townhouses in another section of the development.
In total, Augustine has been approved to build 430 homes at Colonial Forge, planning staff say. There may be multi-family dwellings built at Colonial Forge in addition to that total in the future, but plans for that have not yet been submitted to the county.

The Glen Cove Board of Education met on Monday, Jan. 28 and was host to more than 50 residents. Most of the residents were on hand to discuss and support the subject of busing for high school students, a matter not on the agenda but which took the forefront of the meeting through questions of a board member. As part of old business, board member Dr. Rodger Silletti inquired about an information sheet, part of the board members' packets, which addressed the costs of high school transportation. That opened a discussion among board members, and rolled right into the comments from the public section of the meeting. The subject of high school busing has been a chronic problem in the district for many years, with parents of private and parochial school students on one side, and parents of public school students on the other. In order for the issue of busing to be amended two possibilities exist. It can be included in the budget, or a separate referendum could be presented to the voters. While it has not been that many years that the city of Glen Cove has been voting on the school budget, a few years ago a referendum on high school busing was offered to the public, but was defeated. Another defeated budget contained busing as a part of the budget.
Thanks to the board members of Glen Cove CARES, their friends and family, the generous members from our community and our local merchants, esteemed members from the medical community, members of our local city government and also our county government, the Fifth Annual Gala Dinner Dance was an evening that will be remembered for a long time to come. Once again, The Metropolitan here in Glen Cove hosted the dinner dance for over 260 people. This dinner dance is a celebration of life, health and happiness, bringing together the many who have survived cancer, and also dedicating the evening to the memory of all those who have succumbed to cancer and those who have supported them. This "Partnership for Survival" truly proves that Glen Cove "CARES" and this year the foundation was able to take the step from a small grass-roots organization that began five years ago by its president, Mrs. Terry Petikas, to making the major step of expanding its mission to make a donation of $25,000 to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory here on Long Island. This donation will be directed 100 percent to cancer research and to continue the crusade to triumph over this disease.
On Tuesday, Jan. 15, the Big Red Winter Track and Field Team ran at Farmindale University in the Fraley Meet.

For the girls team Amanda Moretto (8.0) led the way followed by Stephanie Graziosi (8.2), Giovanna Condello (8.2), Lahaina Laroche (8.2), Liz Lottes (9.5), Eunice Jin (8.2), Adriana Amendolara (9.8), Emily Keogler (9.5), Mircha Colin (11.0), and Gabbi Anastasio (9.2). In the 55m High Hurdles Tin Chin ran 9.3, Allen Shin ran 11.2 and Lucia Son ran 10.8. In the 300m run Jason Lindenbaum ran 44.0, Ben Lowell ran 44.5, Tin Chin (45.2), Will Ng (45.6), Luis Bautista (48.1), Casey Paganetti (51.5), Joe Mazza (49.1) Allen Shin (45.6), Dan DeLaCruz (49.3), Tony Condello (46.5),and Bobby Ying (49.1). For the girls team Amanda Moretto ran 51.2, Giovanna Condello (52.9), Adriana Amendolara (1:02.1), Becky Kelly (55.0) and Eunice Jin (54.7). In the 1000m Mike Biscardi ran 3:14.8 while Italo Naves ran 3:26.8. Andres DeLaCruz (38' 10") and John Mahoney threw the shot put. Jasmine Thompson (13'), Lahaina Laroche (11' 7"), Gabbi Anastasio, Travis Watson (16' 11") and Will Ng competed in the long jump. Italo Naves also ran a 1600m run in 5:41.9
The season is approaching critical mass for the Vikings. Last Friday, Jan. 25, North Shore traveled for a rubber match with the Green Dragons of Westbury High. Since North Shore had broken the Westbury full court press so convincingly in their early season win, Westbury chose to pack in a tough 2-3 zone. At the outset, center Ankit Shah hit his first three 3-point shots. But after picking up three quick fouls, he was never able to assert himself in the contest. Westbury broke out to a 17-12 first quarter lead.

LAUREL, Md. (AP) - The Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation says it's opening a Regional Workforce Center in Laurel that takes an inter-county approach to employment and training services.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was scheduled Thursday for the office serving Anne Arundel, Howard, Prince George's and Montgomery counties.
A spokeswoman says the opening doesn't mean the agency is consolidating its county Career Centers into a smaller number of regional offices. Rather, she says, the regional center will enable job seekers in one county to learn about opportunities in another.

May 20, 2011
Amtrak is developing an in-depth business plan that will maximize the opportunity for private investment to finance the construction of infrastructure and the acquisition of equipment required to provide 220 mph next-generation high-speed rail service in the Northeast Corridor."Amtrak will aggressively pursue private investment, in combination with funding from the federal government and from other public sources, to achieve our goal of initiating true high-speed rail from Washington to Boston," said Al Engel, Amtrak vice president, high-speed rail.In April, Amtrak issued a request for proposals for a fully implementable and robust business and financial plan where Amtrak is the key developer and operator of the high-speed rail system. It will identify and develop public and private funding sources and address fundamental issues of risk, credit, debt and investment phasing among other criteria.The business plan also will include strategies and tactics for meeting the project delivery timelines and achieving financial targets, provide information for Amtrak's FY 2013 federal budget request and lay out the strategy for subsequent forays into the private investment and capital markets. To date, numerous private investment firms have expressed interest in working with Amtrak. Proposals are due June 10.Engel said the active pursuit of private financing is one of several actions taken by Amtrak to move forward its next-generation high-speed rail vision plan since it was announced in September 2010. Another key action is the development of a stair-step approach outlining a clear, structured and coordinated path to achieve 220 mph service on exclusive operational segments first between Philadelphia and New York, then New York to Washington, D.C., followed by New York to Hartford and finally Hartford to Boston.The recent announcement by the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) to award Amtrak $450 million to upgrade a 24-mile section of its Northeast Corridor infrastructure to support maximum speeds of 160 mph is an important part of this stair-step approach.In addition, Amtrak distributed its high-speed rail vision plan for international peer review by high-speed rail operators in Europe and Asia. Most reviewers agreed with the stair-step approach and noted that the current strategy is needed for successfully implementing next-generation high-speed rail in the Northeast Corridor. Many reviewers also said Amtrak ridership estimates were too low and several major operators indicated there are construction cost reduction opportunities that could reduce the capital investment.There also was the recurring theme by the reviewers that Amtrak would likely capture a larger share of the intercity travel market than what is projected in the plan. Other significant actions taken by Amtrak in the past several months, include the announcement of the Gateway Project to construct a new Portal Bridge over the Hackensack River and new tunnels under the Hudson River to access an expanded New York Penn Station, as well as the unveiling of a plan to lengthen all 20 existing high-speed Acela Express trains from six to eight coaches to expand seating capacity 40 percent. In addition, the Northeast Corridor was named a federally-designated high-speed rail corridor by the U.S. DOT.Furthermore, Amtrak is a partner in the 8th World Congress on High-Speed Rail that will be held in the U.S. in July 2012. As a partner with the International Union of Railways, the American Public Transportation Association and the Association of American Railroads, Amtrak will host the world congress in Philadelphia. The event is expected to attract some 2,000 attendees worldwide to exchange views on the development and achievements of high-speed rail."Even with limited funding, Amtrak is continuing to make bold moves forward toward realizing its vision for 220-mph next-generation high-speed rail in the Northeast Corridor," Engel explained.

National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)
, 2012-15
I am a fifth year student in the B.S/Ph.D program at Drexel University. I started research in the Nanophotonics lab under the direction of Dr. Adam Fontecchio through the STAR program in 2007. My main area of research is in Hyperspectral Imaging, but as an EAGLES program participant I have the opportunity to complete my Master's thesis work in Madrid, Spain where I am working on molecularly imprinted polymers for antibiotic detection.
Being a recipient of the NSF GRFP is a great honor and I am very grateful for everyone who has helped me become a competitive candidate for this fellowship. It will allow me to pursue my graduate studies unhindered by financial concerns and allow me more time to participate in activities to encourage students to pursue an engineering education.

The Science Journal of the American Association for Respiratory Care
BACKGROUND:The purpose of this study was to compare the observed accuracy of three brandsof flow / volume transducers (BiCore, Bird & Novametrix) and to determineif they would maintain accuracy after ethylene oxide (ETO) sterilization.
Methods: Manufacturersaccuracy ranged from 3% to 15%. We set a clinically acceptible accuracy rangeof ± 10% for uniform consistency in this benchtest. New BiCore (Neonatal VarFlex®Flow Transducer), Bird (Partner® Infant and Pediatric Flow/VolumeSensor) and Novametrix COSMO+ (Neonatal and Pediatric/Adult combined CO flowsensors) were evaluated for accuracy of tidal volume (Vt) delivery using calibratedsyringes. Infant / neonatal flow sensors (all brands) were tested at Vt of 10,20, 30, 40 and 50 cc. Pediatric/adult sensors (Bird and Novametrix) were testedatVt of 50, 200, 400, 700 and 1000 cc. Five different sensors for each brandwere tested new out of the package, and each sensor was evaluated five timesat each Vt. Data were then analyzed as a percentage of error for both new conditionand after each of 5 resterilizations. Error was calculated as the difference(measured value ? true value) expressed as a percentage of the true value. Meanand standard deviation was calculated for errors across all volumes. Error intervalswere calculated as mean error ±2.31xSD (Resp Care 1996; 41:1092-1099) and interpretedas the expected error for 95% of future measurements at the 99% confidence level.
Results: Eachnumber in the table below summarizes 125 volume measurements. Data below arelower (L) and upper (U) error limits expressed as % of true value:
Conclusions: Inthis benchtest, new Bird and Novametrix pediatric/adult probes are within ourpredefined ±19% accuracy range and remain within range for 5 resterilizations.Neonatal probe accuracy is less stable then pediatric probe accuracy. New Novametrixneonatal probes are within our predefined ±10% accuracy range and remain withinrange for 5 resterilizations. New BiCore and Bird neonatalprobes are within our predefined ±10% accuracy range, but fall outside the accuracyrange with the 1st resterilization.

Things are starting to heat up as the Kentucky Derby draws nearer. Yes, the Kentucky Derby is still two months away, but for many of the contenders it's only one or two more starts away. The Road to the Kentucky Derby points system kicks into phase two, the first leg of the Kentucky Derby Championship Series, this weekend with the running of the Fountain of Youth Stakes (GII) at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, Fla. and the Risen Star Stakes (GII) at Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, La.
The new Kentucky Derby points system replaces the graded stakes earnings system as the determiner of Kentucky Derby entrants. In the first phase, the Kentucky Derby Prep Season, that concluded last week, the top four finishers in 19 pre-determined races were awarded points of 10-4-2-1, respectively.
A total of five Grade II and three Grade III races comprise the first leg of phase two in which the top four finishers in the pre-determined races are awarded points of 50-20-10-5, respectively. The second leg of phase two begins Mar. 30 and includes two Grade II and five Grade I events in which the top four finishers in these pre-determined races will receive points of 100-40-20-10, respectively. The series concludes with two wild card races in which the top four finishers will be awarded 20-8-4-2 points, respectively.
With 50 points on the line, a win in Saturday's Fountain of Youth or Risen Star could guarantee a newcomer a spot in the Kentucky Derby. However, there are contenders in Saturday's races that are already on the board and could elevate their standing on the points ranking with a top four finish. So, if you haven't starting following the Kentucky Derby Trail, now's the time.
Click here to see an analysis of the Risen Star Stakes [3].
The $400,000 1 1/16 mile Fountain of Youth is the first of the pair to run Saturday with a scheduled post time of 5:35 p.m. Todd Pletcher's Violence, who won the Grade 1 CashCall Futurity Dec. 15, will make his first start as a three-year-old. The son of Medaglia d'Oro was undefeated in three starts last year and is currently ranked 4 in the points standings with 10 points.
"He came directly from Hollywood Park to Palm Meadows right after he won the CashCall Futurity and we sort of, at that time, decided that we felt the Fountain of Youth was a good starting point for him," said Pletcher in a national conference call earlier this week. "We freshened him up a little bit with this race in mind and we've been very fortunate that everything's gone exactly according to plan up to this point."
Falling Sky, winner of the Grade III Sam F. Davis at Tampa Bay Downs Feb. 2, will try to increase his winning streak to three. He held on to keep a neck in front of Dynamic Sky to win his first attempt at a route distance last out and will need to show improvement if he hopes to grab the win here.
He's Had Enough, from the same connections that brought us Kentucky Derby winner I'll Have Another, exits a third place finish in the Grade II Robert B. Lewis Stakes Feb. 2. The Doug O'Neil trainee has also appeared in three Grade I events, but has not yet shown the dominance his connections saw at this time last year with I'll Have Another. However, maybe He's Had Enough can pull some Derby karma from his stable pony Lava Man, the retired champion who also accompanied I'll Have Another on his Kentucky Derby journey.
A newcomer worthy of mention is the Irish-bred Cerro. Trainer Graham Motion and owner Team Valor International, who won the 2011 Kentucky Derby with Animal Kingdom, send out this son of Mr. Greely. Cerro was a winner last out in a $75,000 optional claimer for non-winners of more than one, and has shown steady improvement. Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps owns a piece of this colt with Team Valor, so maybe he can help him navigate the waters in the Fountain of Youth.
The remainder of the field includes Shug McGaughey's Orb, Holy Bull fourth-place finisher Joshua's Comprise, Eddie Kenneally's Majestic Hussar, maiden winner Elmutahid, Mark Casse's Sky Captain, Sam F. Davis fourth-place finisher Speak Logistics, and Gulfstream Park Derby runner-up Sr. Quisqueyano.
The race is the 11th on Gulfstream's Saturday card with a scheduled post time of 5:35 p.m. It can be seen on HRTV and TVG. Free PPs for both the Fountain of Youth and Risen Star stakes are provided by Brisnet [4].

Danny Kalb offers 'Moving in Blue' on his own Sojourn Records
Brooklyn, N.Y.-based Danny Kalb has release Moving in Blue on Sojourn Records. Delayed due to health setbacks and expansion, the release is a sprawling 25-track double CD of recordings spanning over a decade and including elements of blues, folk and rock.
With the release of Moving in Blue, Kalb deeply mines the cannon of the American songbook, mixing traditional folk, blues and gospel standards ("Baby Please Don't Go," "Got My Mojo Working," "I'll Fly Away"), and some early rock 'n' roll ("Sally Go 'Round the Roses" by The Jaynetts and later Tim Buckley and Pentangle) with lesser known treasures ("God's Radar" as performed by Dixie Hummingbirds, "Black Coffee" as performed by Sarah Vaughn, "So Doggone Lonesome" by Johnny Cash).
There are two Dylan covers from two different eras ("It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry" and "Make You Feel My Love" ). Reoccurring themes include love and longing ("Can't Be Satisfied," "Waitress"), religion and mortality ("Death Creeping," "Goin' Down Slow"), and transportation ("Lonesome Whistle," "Yellow Cab"). Kalb's self-penned numbers open disc 1 with a short, sprightly two-minute rock number ("Feel Just Like Going Home") and close disc 2 with "Yellow Sky," a ballad which wouldn't sound out of place on Johnny Cash's later sessions produced by Rick Rubin.
Musicians appearing on the project are friends from Kalb's past (Roy Blumenfeld) and present (Mark Ambrosino). Culled from nearly a decade of formal and informal recordings at The Madhouse, the flagship Queens studio of Ambrosino and his label Sojourn Records, Moving in Blue embodies the perfection of a great, labored work, lovingly recorded, mixed and mastered over years of time.
Kalb has been on the mend from a minor stroke, delaying the release of Moving in Blue. Fortunately, Kalb has been quickly able to return to the stage with voice and guitar chops intact, and has been able to play dates in the Northeast and the South over the first half of this year, culminating in a triumphant appearance at the Piccolo Spoleto festival in Charleston, S.C. last June.
In 2009, Kalb recorded a fully realized studio "comeback" record for Sojourn Records with studio session drummer and label president Mark Ambrosino entitled I'm Going To Live The Life I Sing About. The album was released to critical acclaim, featuring subtle, no-frills covers of classic blues and early rock 'n' roll by artists such as Elizabeth Cotton, Willie Dixon, Rev. Gary Davis and Little Richard.
At 68 years of age, Danny Kalb has a recording history dating back to the early '60s. Starting as a peer of Dave Van Ronk in the Greenwich Village acoustic folk-blues scene (including an early radio appearance with a very young Bob Dylan), Kalb appeared on such early folk releases as The True Endeavor Jug Band (1963), The New Strangers (1964), The Folk Stringers (1964) and The Rag Time Jug Stompers with Dave Van Ronk (1964). He appeared on Elektra Records' Blues Project compilation album (1964) covering that scene, as well as session work for Phil Ochs' All The News That's Fit To Sing (1964) and Judy Collins's 5th Album (1965). Kalb also performed session work on Pete Seeger's' Waist Deep in The Big Muddy and Other Love Songs (1967) and Jimmy Witherspoon's Blues Singer (1969).
Kalb came into legendary blues pioneer status with the formation of the Blues Project in 1965, being among the first blues-rock hybrid guitarists. The group's classic period with Al Kooper, Steve Katz, Andy Kulberg and Roy Blumenfeld includes Live at the Café Au Go Go (1966), Projections (1966), and The Blues Project Live at Town Hall (1967), as well as their only Billboard charting single, "No Time Like The Right Time" (1967).
Kalb left the band with Katz, prior to Planned Obsolescence (1968), which was released by the remaining members under the Blues Project moniker at the insistence of Verve before they became Seatrain. Kalb returned with the reformed Blues Project with Lazarus (1971) and The Blues Project (1972). The Blues Project disbanded in 1972 with their final recording. The Original Blues Project Live At Central Park was issued in 1973.
Kalb returned to releasing music in the mid-'90s, recording for Relix Records with Livin' With The Blues (1995), and rejoined Katz and Grossman for Played a Little Fiddle (2006).
Kalb self-issued an acoustic title, All Together, Now (2003), as well as two live titles: Live in Princeton (2003) and Live in Brooklyn (2006).

Controlling trichomoniasis
By Doug Rich
Even as states refine their trichomoniasis rules, the programs in place are doing a good job of controlling the disease.
Dr. Rod Hall, state veterinarian in Oklahoma, said 2.1 percent of the bulls tested in 2011 were positive for trichomoniasis. In 2012 only 1.4 percent of the bulls tested in Oklahoma were positive for the disease.
"It looks like we made a little bit of progress on educating producers and they are doing a better job of managing their herds," Hall said.
Similar results have been achieved in Texas, which started a mandatory trichomoniasis program in 2009 at the request of their livestock industry.
"Although we don't have a statistically valid sample of the population from before and now, all we can gauge it on are the bulls that being are tested and how many are positive," Dr. Andy Schwartz, executive assistant director of the Animal Health Commission in Texas, said. In the last 12 months they have tested nearly 25,000 bulls and only 433 were positive for the disease. That is about 1.7 percent of the tested bulls. Schwartz said the first year of the program nearly 3.5 percent of the bulls tested came back positive for trich.
"Our program is not designed to be an eradication program; it is designed to control trich and protect the livestock in the state," Schwartz said. "An eradication program is one where you likely have to go through and test all of the bulls in the state like we did with brucellosis. This is more of a passive surveillance program."
Nebraska established their trich program in 2008 and they have gone from 40 to 50 herds with infected bulls down to a half dozen.
"We were a dumping ground for many years for trich-infected cattle that were coming into our state," Dr. Dennis Hughes, Nebraska state veterinarian, said. "The import order curtailed that activity."
"The bad year for cattle moving north from drought-stricken areas was 2011," Hughes said. "That was the year a lot of cattle were brought up illegally from Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma that did not meet our import requirements. They came without individual identification, which is required to meet our import trichomoniasis requirements, and they did not have health certificates."
Dr. George Pat Badley, Arkansas state veterinarian, said their regulations and education program have slowed the movement of the disease across the state. The number of positive test results has gone down.
Since Missouri instituted trich regulations last fall, they have seen the prevalence of positive tests has been reduced, according to Dr. Linda Hickam, Missouri state veterinarian. Movement of the state from west to east has slowed down.
"We really have worked hard to educate producers and veterinarians about the disease," Hickam said. "We have tried to educate producers about the risk of buying certain classes of livestock. So even though it is still moving across the state, it is moving at a much slower pace. Incidences of the disease on the southwest part of the state have been greatly reduced."
States continue to tweak their trichomoniasis rules to make their programs more effective and to meet the demands of livestock producers. Most began with import programs only and then expanded their programs to include in-state programs.
Hughes said he is anticipating an in-state program for Nebraska that would include notification of neighboring herds when bulls test positive for trich. Nebraska has had an import program in place since 2008 but never an in-state program.
"Nebraska cattlemen want a notification program so if a neighbor has trich they could be notified in some way and take protective measures to protect their own herds," Hughes said. "We need a law in place to allow us to do that type of notification. We are hearing rumors that this might be the case but nothing official has come out yet."
Producers in Arkansas want to lower the age of virgin bulls that need to be tested to 18 or even 12 months of age. Badley said that is the only change to their trich regulations that he would anticipate in the near future.
At the next meeting of the Oklahoma Board of Agriculture, Hall said they will propose extending the time period that a test is valid from 30 days to 60 days. If the Board of Agriculture approves this it will go to the Oklahoma legislature. Hall said this would give their seedstock producers a little more time to get their bulls sold without having to retest.
"The complaint I have heard most often in regard to our trich regulations is that we don't have regulations that require producers that have a bull test positive to refrain from selling cows that could be exposed to that bull," Hall said. "When we visit with producers after they have had a bull diagnosed with the disease, most producers have been very good about wanting to get rid of the disease in their herd and preventing neighboring herds from getting the disease, but we have also been alerted to instances when a producer sold cows that had been exposed to an infected bull."
Brown said they are making progress even though there are loopholes in the regulations. He feels they can make drastic reductions in the disease without more stringent regulations.
Texas has a working group that includes representatives from industry, university, government, and diagnostic labs that review their trich regulations on a yearly basis. Last year this group recommended the use of pooled samples at the labs as a cost saving measure for bull owners.
"Individual samples are still collected but samples from up to five bulls can be pooled at the lab for testing," Schwartz said. "If a positive test comes up they can still go back and test individuals from that pool."
This working group also recommended some type of notification for neighboring herds and that has been instituted. Schwartz said neighbors are not required to test their bulls, but they do send them a letter of notification and offer to talk with the producers about the disease and herd management.
Two new trichomoniasis regulations have been proposed in Kansas. The first would require non-virgin bulls, 19 months of age or older or of unknown virginity status, that change ownership in Kansas by private sale, public sale, lease, trade or barter but do not go directly to slaughter be certified negative for trichomoniasis. It was also proposed that the time a trich test is valid be increased from 30 to 60 days.
The design and complexity of trichomoniasis programs vary from state to state, but they are accomplishing the same goal--controlling the spread of trichomoniasis.

text: The risks for occupational accidents and diseases at work have to be managed by the employers and workers who are facing with them. In order to ensure effective action, it is essential to establish occupational safety and health (OSH) management systems at all workplaces for continual improvement of working environment and preventive measures. The ILO guidelines on occupational safety and health management systems provide guidance for action at the national and enterprise levels.
