Supporting working parents is good for business
|| Print |
|Wednesday, April 17, 2013
I spent much of the last 30 years experiencing life as a parent, an employee, and a regional economist. Today, I can add one more perspective to the list: business owner. In 1994, my husband founded InterWorks, LLC, a construction services company that performs as a general contractor and construction manager in commercial and residential remodeling and renovation. I left my job and joined two years later.
Through all these facets of my life and career, a few things have remained constant. One is that workers — whether it was me back in the early 90s or my own employees now — are more productive and happier when they have safe, reliable arrangements for their children while they work. This is especially true in the construction and manufacturing industries, where worker safety and optimal performance require employees to be focused and not distracted by personal stressors.
And yet, too many Oregon workers face significant barriers to this one common, basic necessity. Oregon is one of the least affordable states in the country for child care. The average cost of enrolling a toddler at an Oregon day care center now exceeds the cost of college tuition at our public colleges and universities. In real terms, this pencils out to more than $10,000 a year for a family. Is this really sustainable when more than 80 percent of Oregon parents are working and nearly one-third of our workforce is comprised of parents?
Further, the majority of the 30 occupations expected to see the most growth in the next decade have median incomes of less than $30,000. As child care costs continue to increase, parents' salaries are not keeping up. Costs for child care rose 7% more than family incomes from 2004-2010. The monthly cost of toddler care has increased 99% since InterWorks launched almost 20 years ago. In the business world, we have to wonder: What is the impact to the state economy when so much of the potential workforce struggles to maintain employment under this steadily increasing financial burden? What is the impact to our local business climate?
Here are a few answers: A national study showed that businesses lost $3 billion due to employee absenteeism related to lack of child care. Here in Oregon, child care supports 8% of the economy — that's roughly $8.4 billion in income and wages, and $25 billion in revenue to other industries. And yet, the child care infrastructure itself struggles to meet the growing need of our workforce.
When parents cannot consistently afford the payments that keep their children enrolled, then child care businesses can not depend on a steady client base to expand capacity and meet the need for their services. The result? Wait lists at local child care centers can approach two years. In the meantime, what is a parent with an opportunity to enter or reenter the workforce to do?
Over the years, I have seen many working parents find creative solutions to these challenges. Some will alternate shifts so that one parent can always be home to watch the children. But too often this arrangement winds up leaving families exhausted and depleted—parents rarely get to see one another during waking hours, and children lose out on the benefit of time with both parents.
But child care is more than a vital support to working parents. There is a growing movement to recognize that access to stimulating, quality care prepares children for school, enhances their development, and sets them on a path to future success. Business leaders must, therefore, also begin to consider the cost barrier to child care access as a workforce development issue.
As a business owner and a former economist, I know that child care businesses have low profit margins. No one is getting rich from this work, despite the steady increase in costs. There has to be a middle ground where parents can afford child care yet child care providers have the means to run their businesses, pay their teachers, and grow capacity to meet demand.
As members of the business community, we have an obligation to support initiatives that bridge this gap, such as the Employment Related Day Care program, which provides child care subsidies to those working parents who need it most.
Given the importance of child care for Oregon workers, employers, and the economy as a whole, the child care sector will be key to the state's economic recovery. As employers, we have to ask ourselves: What sacrifices are our employees making just to show up everyday? What worries are keeping them from being their most focused, their most productive, their most thoughtful?
A robust child care industry — in which parents have access to affordable, quality options — supports Oregon workers and businesses, and strengthens our economy.

Perhaps by LNIB they meant "Loader Neck Is Broken"
If it's holding solid, I wouldn't be too worried about it. If you want to reinforce it until you get the money from the guy, and the new body, fully disassembly the upper receiver, and remove the feedneck (otherwise it will get glued in place) and drill a small hole (smallest bit you have) at the end of the crack - then drip some thin cyano acrylate glue (AKA Crazy Glye - but the thin runny stuff, not the thick "gap filling" kind) on, and let it flow through the crack. The glue will hold it together, the hole will stop the crack from continuing. From there, you can fill the hole with epoxy or thick CA glue.
Certainly, once you've got two bodies, you can do a conversion like this:

I do think that is one pepper of a job there...... ( I already had that one in my bookmarks ) But I am not a huge fan of putting the Q out under the barrel.... I like it ,especially on the SP-8, right up tight against the side of the reciver... I think it look sharp and will be far superior in my style of play. but what I was thinking, was to cut the feedneck, cut down the center of the reciver so I can get a piece of pipe right next to the inner body (down low so I can still use a sight).... and put the q on LEFT side of the gun facing rearward for super fast reloads...... I'll post up some pics when I get started to show you what I mean.
Oh and as for the glue idea..... it is already completely split... so no glue will "slow" it cracking more... sorry I didn't explain it better....and I am worried that no matter what, or how much, glue I use, as soon as I put the feedneck back in it will spread it right back out... oh well I'll be trying something I guess......

Never mind its four Little League baseball fields, five football fields, 27-hole golf course, and 40 picnic shelters. The 900-acre Okeeheelee Park goes beyond the traditional role of a community park and takes the meaning of the word recreation to the extreme. Case in point: the five waterski courses -- one of which is a nationally recognized venue for world-class competitions. On any given day, you'll find avid water-skiers and wake-boarders making waves and splashing innocent bystanders at the park's 170 acres of water. All courses can accommodate traditional, barefoot, and kneeboard skiing, and for all of the day-jobbers out there, one of the courses is even lighted for night skiing. BMX bikers young and (slightly) old pull off 180s and 360s at the park's track, which is complete with dirt hills, sharp tricky turns, and half-pipes. Nature lovers walk, jog, and bike through woods and wetlands along the park's 1.2-mile-long nature trail. And as dads turn up the heat at the park's barbecue pavilions, kids run around and play to their hearts' content while the mouth-watering aromas of grilled burgers and corn on the cob fill the air. Additional facilities include a wooden fishing pier, two boat launching ramps, four adult softball fields, volleyball courts, five children's play areas, eight tennis courts, and a nature center. In short, there's something for everyone. And even though it's far from the beach -- the park is practically in the Everglades -- and there isn't a grain of sand in sight, you'll still find plenty of "fun in the sun."

Re: Do you live in a NON BF friendly environment?
I have a very supportive dh. Matter of fact we were just discussing this last night. I also have a very supportive extended family, however...
My Aunt - she can't seem to understand why I do it (please don't bash her, she has no children and isn't quite all there). She is always uneasy when I start to nurse when she is around. I respect that and will go in another room or cover up if we are out and about.
My MIL - At one point in her life she was a NICU Rn, she too doesn't see why I won't supplement so that the girls can spend the night. She also wants me to cover up. One day she even asked "Isn't there some where else you can go and feed her?" She of course was at my house, under my roof, therefore my rules! She also has told me over and over that after you get rid of your colostrum, milk is milk, and it really won't matter how long you nurse them. She will also bring over a blanket and drape it on me and the baby, after I have said no. Obviously she's an idiot! Oh and by the way, I don't let everything hang out. I have mastered discreetness!
Now about the whole CD thing...dh likes not spending money on sposies every week, so he is game for the whole thing. My mother loves them and has her own stash at her house for all 9 grandchildren! My sister (3 boys) just started with her newborn (the other are pt) and can't believe that he hasn't had a heiny blow out, so now she's in love . But then of course is my MIL...can't stand them, think they are a waste of money, I should spend the $$ on something else, makes more laundry for my already busy life, and says that the rest of my clothes are being washed in poop. Whatever...obviously she is still an idiot! My other family/friends find it neat, but are not willing to try and they admire that I will do it.
So in a nut shell, I live in a BF & CD friendly environment as long as my MIL is not around

Re: Do you live in a NON BF friendly environment?
I definately live in a non-breastfeed-friendly environment. My mother, who is 3000 miles away, is just about the only person in my life who wholeheartedly supports breastfeeding. Everyone else (ESPECIALLY my inlaws) make me feel ashamed for breastfeeding, an ashamed if I should have to do it when Im around them. When my MIL and FIL were visiting when my daughter was 2 months old, they would actually go OUTSIDE the house if I was nursing. How weird is that? And my grandmother refers to breastfeeding as "grotesque" and breastmilk as "nasty".
NIP is not that common here from what I've seen. According to statistics from my local WIC program, over 76% of moms in our local area are formula feeding. I've NEVER seen anyone nursing in public here. EVER. I guess Im all alone in that. I even had my Pediatricians office shoo my away into a cold exam room to feed my daughter after I supposedly made other patients "uncomfortable" when I was nursing in the waiting room.
I totally hear you, and I feel for you. Hugs.

Re: Do you live in a NON BF friendly environment?
I was given a scratchy paper napkin to cover up my one week old's face while I was nursing in the insurance office IN THE HOSPITAL on an airforce base. The lady asked if I wanted it, and I replied, "if it makes you feel better."
Actually, I haven't had many reactions either way when I NIP, mostly because I don't think many people even notice. Sometimes people mention how content my baby is, and I reply that I give him what he wants, when he wants it (won't work forever, but hey he's only 4 months old!), and they are more likely to understand why I babywear, breastfeed, etc. when they see how successful it's been at raising a happy, healthy baby.

Re: Do you live in a NON BF friendly environment?
Other than that experience I did okay if I was covered. The only person I EVER wanted to see my breast was my husband and baby. I wish I would have found this kind of support when I nursed but I didn't. I was always hiding in bathrooms so that I didn't have to see embarresed faces and dirty looks (even though I was always covered). With my next child I will stand proud and NIP (but still cover myself).

Re: Do you live in a NON BF friendly environment?
I'm in Pasadena and I think there are probably those who think it's gross and those who think it's great. In my immediate neighborhood though, we are very family friendly and I'm assuming everyone thinks it's great that I nurse -- at least no one has told me otherwise!
I actually NIP ALL THE TIME because I have to, she nurses every hour. I stand up at church and share while nursing, I nurse while attending meetings at work, I nurse while shopping, nurse while eating, nurse while going to the bathroom :P
the trick though is that I use a pouch that holds her just at the right angle, I put a wide brimmed hat on her head with my hand, and use a nursing tank with a same colored shirt on top, and wah la - no one knows I'm nursing.
I'm sorry about your predicement though I have no idea what'd I'd do if DH wasn't supportive. That would really make it hard to keep going.

Re: Do you live in a NON BF friendly environment?
Well- my MIL and mother both breastfed their babies, so they are supportive of that. And a close friend bfs. But that's about it... no other real support, although I guess I have it better than a lot of others.

Am I being played? Not sure what to do?
After previous questions and cheers for the answers, we are together, however the ex still is nagging her via text and calls, we have been going really good, but I think that I'm still being played as she just refuses to get rid of the ex, as in she's seems to be letting him get away with his constant nagging by answering his calls sometimes and also replying to his texts that's OK with me but I think the more she puts up with this the worse its going to get. I have tried to stay out of it and have given positive response to what she tells me as to try to just be there for her. thing is she seems to just not nipp it once and for all. my question is, am should I pursue this as we are a happy couple I think, she tells me me all the right things, am I wasting my time? I've have worked hard to get this girl in my life, just not sure if I should just let it go or not, its a long story and I'm not good at voicing my thoughts but I think its too hard?
What's Your Opinion?
What Girls Said 1
Sounds like she is not ready to be in a new relationship with you, as her previous break up is an on going nightmare. Unless they have kids together, there should have been a clean break and she needs to limit his access to her as it is disrupting your relationship with her. I don't believe you are being played, because she doesn't seem to be trying to hide her communication with him. But if he is having a negative impact on your relationship, let her know, and give her the opportunity to decide who she wants to be with. Ex's have their place, and his place in her past.

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) - The city of Henderson expects to save $15
million over the next five years through an employee buyout program
that enticed nearly 60 city workers to give up their jobs.
City officials had hoped to see about 15 percent of the 308 employees take the buyout. Instead, more than 18 percent of eligible workers accepted buyouts.
The employees will receive two weeks of severance pay for every
year they worked for the city. The city expects to recover that money in nine months to a year with what it will save in salaries and benefits.
The deadline for eligible public safety employees to take the buyout is March 9.
The state's second largest city is projecting a shortfall of $53 million, most of it a result of tax revenue declines associated with the ongoing recession. The shortfall represent 20 percent of the city's budget.

November 28, 2014
ADELPHI, Md. (AP) - Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration
say a powerful psychiatric drug from AstraZeneca is safe and
effective to treat schizophrenia in adolescents.
The FDA's panel of experts voted overwhelmingly that the pill Seroquel is a useful treatment for schizophrenia in patients ages 13 to 17.
A vote on the drug's use for pediatric bipolar disorder is slated for later Wednesday.
The group also is weighing expanded approval of drugs from Eli Lilly and Pfizer for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
The FDA is not required to follow the group's advice, though it usually does.
A positive FDA decision would allow the companies to expand marketing of drugs that already make up the top-selling class of prescriptions in the U.S.

True (... sort of) by Katherine Hannigan
For most of her eleven years, Delly has been in trouble without knowing why, until her little brother, R.B., and a strange, silent new friend, Ferris, help her find a way to be good--and happy--again.
Years ago, three-year-old Gerald was left home alone in an apartment where a fire broke out. When authorities discovered that Gerald was home by himself, he was removed from the custody of his substance-addicted mother Monique and sent to live with his aunt. While living with his Aunt, Queen, Gerald is happy. After his aunt dies when he is nine, his mother returns but now she has a new husband, Jordan, and a daughter, Angel. Gerald goes to live with them, but he soon learns that all is not well. Jordan works sporadically and is abusive towards Angel and Monique. Monique does not stand up to Jordan--in fact she spends most of her time trying to please him. Jordan's abusive behavior towards Angel is a constant source of distress for Gerald. Soon the problems escalate to a point that force Gerald's hand in Forged by Fire, by Sharon Draper.
Karp delivers a heartwrenching and darkly funny memoir about her experience becoming homeless after losing her corporate job in the Great Recession.
"As the dysfunction of the family escalated, Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves, supporting one another as they weathered their parents' betrayals and, finally, found the resources and will to leave home. What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out, but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms."
"From Children of a Lesser God to Dancing with the Stars, Academy Award®–and Golden Globe–winning actress Marlee Matlin shares her incredible life story in a moving and often surprising memoir, I'll Scream Later. More than twenty years after becoming the youngest woman to win a Best Actress Oscar for her stunning performance as Sarah Norman, the pupil-turned-custodian at a school for the Deaf in Children of a Lesser God, Marlee Matlin continues to be an inspirational force of nature.
"A working mother, wife, activist, and role model, she takes readers on the frank and touching journey of her life, from the sudden and permanent loss of her hearing at eighteen months old to the highs and lows of Hollywood, her battles with addiction, and the unexpected challenges of being thrust into the spotlight as an emissary for the Deaf community. With uncompromising honesty, she reveals the shocking incidents of molestation that took her years to reconcile; her passionate and tumultuous relationship with Oscar winner William Hurt; her romances with Rob Lowe, Richard Dean Anderson, and David E. Kelley; and much more. As fresh and invigorating as her memorable television roles on Seinfeld, The West Wing, The L Word, and her dazzling turn on Dancing with the Stars, Marlee Matlin's self-portrait captures the chutzpah and humor of a celebrated actress who continues to defy all expectations."
For most of her eleven years, Delly has been in trouble without knowing why, until her little brother, R.B., and a strange, silent new friend, Ferris, help her find a way to be good--and happy--again.
Baby Boy Fisher was raised in institutions from the moment of his birth in prison to a single mother. He ultimately came to live with a foster family, where he endured near-constant verbal and physical abuse. In his mid-teens he escaped and enlisted in the navy, where he became a man of the world, raised by the family he created for himself. Finding Fish shows how, out of this unlikely mix of deprivation and hope, an artist was born -- first as the child who painted the feelings his words dared not speak, then as a poet and storyteller who would eventually become one of Hollywood's most sought-after screenwriters.
Later made into an award-winning film.

This book chronicles the unforgettable account of one of the most severe child abuse cases in California history. It is the story of Dave Pelzer, who was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games--games that left him nearly dead. He had to learn how to play his mother's games in order to survive because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave; and no longer a boy, but an "it." Dave's bed was an old army cot in the basement, and his clothes were torn and raunchy.

DEFINITION of 'Equity Swap'
An exchange of cash flows between two parties that allows each party to diversify its income, while still holding its original assets. The two sets of nominally equal cash flows are exchanged as per the terms of the swap, which may involve an equity-based cash flow (such as from a stock asset) that is traded for a fixed-income cash flow (such as a benchmark rate), but this is not necessarily the case. Besides diversification and tax benefits, equity swaps also allow large institutions to hedge specific assets or positions in their portfolios.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Equity Swap'
Most equity swaps today are conducted between large financing firms such as auto financiers, investment banks and capital lending institutions. LIBOR rates are a common benchmark for the fixed income portion of equity swaps, which also tend to be held at intervals of one year or less, much like commercial paper.

Mannatech, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTEX)
The Company develops high-quality, proprietary nutritional supplements, skin care and topical products, and weight-management products that are sold to independent associates and members.
New CEO with global market experience in Billion Dollar Industry. Will bring that experience to a fairly new market to a company positioned to explode in its industry. The new CEO is not afraid to cut costs to benefit its shareholders and associates. Winner of a patent lawsuit against other company that will bring fear those attempting to do the same. Company resilience through lawsuits with no wrongdoing. Even though it uses a Networking Marketing Model, it seems other companies are doing the same and with the economy drawing others to view network marketing companies as a way to get products at a discount or income opportunity, I see Mannatech at the forefront in its class of wellness and business opportunity.

Anderson was born in Stromsburg, NB, worked in his family's funeral home
before enrolling at Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, where he met his wife,
Carol. At the urging of a professor, he took a class in zoology that
changed his life.
Originally headed headed for the mission field Elving attended (then) Bethel Jr. College. During his second year he was an assistant in the Biology Lab. He next enrolled in Bethel Seminary where he made a (radical) change to a career path in biology. He transferred to the University of Minnesota and earned the BS, MS and Ph.D (Zoology) while teaching part-time at Bethel. After graduation he served Bethel as head of the the biology department, temporary faculty dean and dean of students. In 1960 he took a post - doc appointment at the NIH in Washington to work on study on the inheritance of disease in prenatal children. Hooked on genetics he made a second radical move to accept an offer from his doctoral advisor and joined him the Dight Institute of Genetics and on the University faculty where he had a distinguished career investigating the genetics of breast cancer and epilepsy. Years later, he would tell an interviewer: "I can see how God was leading me step by step into human genetics research."
Elving never forgot his Christian roots and lectured at many Christian colleges in a period when Christian education was emerging from the Bible college period. He
joined the ASA and was voted to the ASA Council in 1960. One of his more important books On Behalf of God: A Christian Ethic for Biology and an article "Imaged Through the Lens Darkly: Human Personhood" written with Bruce Reichenbach for the ETS and his early JASA article: "Personal Decisions in Biomedical Research," reflect the wide range of his interests.
On behalf of God explored two of the subjects closest to his heart. "His idea was always that there's no inherent contradiction between the two," said his son, Dr. Carl Anderson, a child psychiatrist in New York. In fact, he was entirely at home in both worlds, his family said, at a time when religious groups and scientists were often in conflict. Anderson often found himself in the role of peacemaker, trying to help them find common ground, his son said. "He was really very gifted in that."
Anderson"s youngest daughter, Martha Anderson, a scientist in Silver Spring, Md., said her father was "quiet and understated" and would often talk at home about his love of science. "He was just the consummate professor," she said. "He was a teacher at work and at home."

George and Georgia DeVries and died at home in Davis on Dec. 8, 2013, after
a 17-year battle with prostate cancer. He attended schools in Alameda and
college in Michigan, earning a bachelor�s degree in engineering from both
Calvin College and the University of Michigan and a master�s degree in civil
engineering from the University of Michigan. He returned to California in
1961 to work for the state Department of Water Resources Aqueduct Design
Branch. He received a Ph.D. from UC Davis in 1978. He had been an ASA
since 1983.
Joe married Donna Hefner from Woodland in
November 1968 and was the father of Jeffrey S. DeVries of New York City and
Doney L. DeVries Biggs (Mark) of Woodland, and grandfather of Ellora and
Carson Biggs.
His engineering career spanned 50 years in the fields of hydraulic engineering, irrigation system analysis and hydrology. He was a registered civil engineer in California, a registered professional hydrologist with the American Institute of Hydrology and a life member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. He began working at UC Davis in 1972 and served as a research engineer, engineer-in-charge of the J. Amorocho Hydraulics Laboratory, northern regional coordinator and associate director of the Water Resources Center and lecturer in the departments of civil and environmental engineering and land, air and water resources. From 1978 to 1981, he also had an engineering appointment with the federal Hydrologic Engineering Center in Davis.
Joe taught courses at UCD, at Sacramento State University, through University of California Extension, the Computational Hydrology Institute, and for professional groups such as ASCE and the Floodplain Management Association. He retired from UC Davis in 1993 and became a consulting engineer working with various firms, state, federal and international agencies. From 2001 through 2012 he held the position of principal engineer with David Ford Consulting Engineers Inc. in Sacramento.
He received great pleasure in encountering students who had taken courses from him, and who thanked him for receiving practical engineering knowledge from his teaching. He received an award for Excellence in Teaching and Outstanding Service from University Extension at UCD and an award from the California Extreme Precipitation Symposium in recognition of his �lifetime of service as a teacher, adviser and mentor to colleagues who work to minimize the adverse impacts of extreme precipitation in California.
His consulting work included projects for the United Nations, the World Bank, the state of Gujarat in India; computer model applications in Japan and Canada; improvement of flood forecasting with the World Meteorological Organization, a U.S. AID irrigation project in Morocco and co-teaching a class in Taiwan. He made five trips to Morocco, 11 trips to India, two to Japan and one to Taiwan and one to Argentina. He assisted federal, county and city governmental agencies with training, review of hydrologic models, studies and floodplain analysis.
Joe had a lifelong love of music, and in the 1960s was a member of a folk singing group. He enjoyed entertaining family and friends with his guitar and singing. He also sang in church choirs and with the Davis International House choir. He had a real passion for the outdoors, and in his 20s was an avid outdoorsman and mountain climber. He was a member of the Sierra Club for more than 50 years. In more recent years, he greatly enjoyed summer excursions to the Hefner family cabin at Bucks Lake in the Northern Sierra.
Joe and Donna enjoyed international travel and Donna accompanied him on working trips to India, Morocco, Japan and Taiwan and to international conferences. They also traveled together in the U.S. and to Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia and New Zealand for pleasure and loved taking ocean and river cruises.
Joe was an active member of Living Stones Christian Reformed Church at 1390 Florin Road in Sacramento and loved singing with the Praise Team. Obituary, Davis Enterprize; Newsletter
Ken was born at home in Oakland, CA where his father was in the insurance business, but spent the rest of his life on the San Francisco Peninsula. Health reasons for brother, Leonard had the family moving to a more rural environment in Los Altos Hills. They lived among the fruit trees. They attended a one-room schoolhouse, Ken through 8th grade. Ken had a delightful life in the country, playing with and growing up with younger brother, Leonard. Those were really good years amidst the depression. At age 15, he went back to the city, in Palo Alto, California. Ken was a boys scout, attaining the honor of becoming an Eagle Scout. This is also the time he started to play the trombone.
Ken spent two years at San Jose State College and twelve years at Stanford Uniersity where he received his Ph.D. in Physical chemistry. In between he spent some time in the US Navy. While studying for his graduate degree, he did research for Kaiser Aluminum Corp. He then went to work at the Navy Lab in San Francisco and finally to NASA at Moffett Field, retiring from there in 1995.
It was significant that the Jupiter Galileo spacecraft Ken worked on when he began at NASA in 1970 arrived at the planet after he retired. At the onset, most of his time was spent research heat-shield materials for the probe, that part of the dual spacecraft designed to plunge into the dense atmosphere of Jupiter. He was also part of the team that managed the design of the probe and accommodation for the six on-board instruments. The probe was scheduled to be launched from the Space Shuttle earlier, but the Challenger accident resulted in a delay of 3-4 years. It was launched from another shuttle in 1989.
aviation was one of his passions, includes piloting his Cessna as well as aircraft innovations and commercial aviation. He was fascinated by riding and studying the railroad.
Music had a special place for Ken, specifically
being part of the band, playing his trombone. As mentioned, he has
played since junior high. He was in his high school orchestra
and band, the Stanford band and Primetime band. Dance music
favorites included Stardust and Deep Purple, In the mood, Sleepy
Lagoon. A long-time member and
fellow of the ASA

He was a sentimental man. He was not afraid to die because of his relationship with God. He believed in God�s atonement, his promises, his provisions. He was most sad about breaking fellowship here at Samarkand. -- Contributed by the fsmily.Notes from the ASA Newsletter: Attended ASA Luncheon at AAAS meeting in 1967. By 1975 Ken was employed at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA. Ken had been earth-bound so far, doing mass spectrometric studies of laser vaporization of high-temperature materials, thern drawn into the proposed Pioneer mission to Jupiter. Target date of the "launch window" to Jupiter was late December 1981 (actually 1989). The light weight of Pioneer-class spinning spacecraft allows an atmospheric probe and an orbiter mission to Jupiter to be combined into a single launch. So if all went well, a comprehensive exploration of Jupiter, its atmosphere, the surrounding physical environment, and its extensive satellite system can be made. The trick is to put together an orbiting spacecraft "bus" and an atmospheric probe designed to survive a descent to a pressure of 10 bars or more. The scenario will then be something like this: "The probe is released about 57 days prior to encounter with the planet; the spacecraft is retargeted after probe separation to a closest approach and phased to communicate with the probe. The probe enters the atmosphere on the light side of the planet, decelerates, and relays in-situ data to the over-flying spacecraft during the 30-40 minute descent to 10 bars or more. Shortly thereafter the spacecraft retro, propulsion system (RPU) is ignited to inject the spacecraft with its science payload into orbit about Jupiter and proceeds on its three-year mission of planetary observation."

1 problem though I can't seem to find: I first installed it on my test server before going live and worked like a charm. But when I finally installed it on my live website and transfered the styling pages it works except for the "amount of comments" on the frontpage (featured articles). Although its an almost exact copy it doesnt show (it set to "below article" and "afterDisplayContent" is shown in the code)

text: Greetings! Her Excellency and I would like to thank everyone who helped with Beltane this year. It seemed that everyone in the Barony pulled together to make this a great success. Below, I'd like to highlight a few things that we noticed. If we miss something them please add it. We arrived to a very windy site Friday morning. Our small crew was able to get all of the pavilions and the showers setup fairly quickly. We had several people helping including HL Wolfgang, Lord Vincinti, Lord Robert OTF and our autocrats Lord Eynon and Lady Melina. I'm sure I missed someone. Either way, the wind was strong enough that one of the grommets on the baronial pavilion blew out. Fortunately, Master Tadgh was able to skillfully replace the grommet that evening and we were able to make use of the pavilion. The gate shifts ran very smoothly. Thanks mostly to Baroness' Annabell and Adeana stepping in at the last minute. Lady Collette and Lord Tigernacht did an excellent job organizing the tavern. We were all fed very well while Lady Alicia was busy keeping us hydrated with water bearing. Not to mention, Baroness Kathryn's breakfast for the nobles/royals was exquisite! At morning court the Storm Guard presented the Queen with a stuffed pig, lovingly created by Lady Margherita, to warm her feet on, while the rapier forces presented a basket to Her Highness. Both sets of royals were quite pleased with these offerings. We'd like to thank Lord Linus for arranging the spang hewing and the May Pole! The children had a great time. The noble's luncheon arranged by Dutchess Vanessa and Lady Veronique was absolutely delicious and the Brewing competition held by HL Mathias, behind the royal thrones, was nothing less than brilliant (I know His M. and His H. were pleased). The thrown weapons competition arranged by our outgoing champion Lord Ray ap Dewey was very challenging and the Archery championship organized by HL Samuel ap Dewey was quite exciting for those who participated AND for those who watched. Olaf Njordson of Eldern Hills organized an epic celtic competition while Lord Lawrence of the Greenwood ran a fun and challenging archery shoot for the children. Lord Alexander and his crew put together a leathal Jabberwoky while HE Jean Fernald and Lord Jacq were entertaining everyone with tavern brawls and musical chairs. Master Tadhg, Mistress Alix and Mistress Stacia along with Lady Antonia did an excellent job getting the A&S competition together but of course no one will forget the Quest. Arranged by Master Finnican, the quest was the highlight for many of Namron's guests, especially newcomers. The evening activities were quite entertaining. We can't thank Master Ettien enough for making the bardic championship so memorable. While Lord Chris and Lady Bella's musical stylings were a great opening to the revel! Of course we couldn't forget to mention the crew that helped tear down in the icy cold rain on Sunday, including our newest Lady, Lady Sherrla, HL Wolfgang and the rest of our usual entourage. We can't possibly have remembered everything. We haven't mentioned the new champions. We will save that for another missive. Many others helped in so many ways. We thank our scribes for the great and thankless work they do, Especially HL Nicolea. We would like to especially thank Lord Eynon. This was his first time autocrating and he worked tirelessly to ensure that everything was perfect for us and for the Barony. Job well done! yours in service, Orlando Giovanni and Caterina Giovanni Lord and Lady of Skorragardr Barone il Baronessa Namron Checkout my blog @ http://blog.agilejedi.com Checkout my homepage @ http://www.agilejedi.com Follow me on Twitter @ http://twitter.com/theagilejedi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Parent involvement
Excellent school. We highly recommend it. Our daughter was in the 2 year old class and the teachers are excellent. I would recommend Friends School to anyone.
My daughter has attended Friend's school for the past 3 years. I was attracted to Friend's because of the co-op and integrated learning for children of all abilities. My daughter did not have any special learning needs and has thrived in classes at Friend's School. The teachers are caring and it has a great welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend Friend's School.
My son began at Friends as a 1 1/2 year old. He is a typical child who learned so much while he attend. The welcoming atmosphere, the teachers, children and parents all help create a true treasure for early childhood education. We will never forget the wonderful foundation Friends created for him as he moves on to the next level of education. He begins Kindergarten in the fall and is well prepared for all that it brings. The center-based play, circle time, Spanish class and music class has kept him involved and the main participant of HIS education. Thank you Friends School!
My son has a speech delay and had severe separation anxiety before he began attending Friends school. They have helped my son learn to be independent and improve his speech skills. He loves his teacher and the director has a passion for the school and to help children learn. It is a parent coop school. It is nice to know I can be involved with my son's education. They have a great nucleus of teachers and parents.
This is the second year my daughter has attended and we love it. She had some learning issues which led us to Friends but I think its equally good for typical children. The classes are small so each child gets individual attention from their teachers. The teachers and assistants are all wonderful and truly care about your child. It has been a great experience, I only wish they went higher than kindergarten.
This is the second year that my son attends Friends School and he loves it. If you want your child in an environment, where he gets the attention he needs (special needs or not), this is the school you want him in. The teachers are so patient and caring and love what they do. They teach pre-school through Kindergarden, and it's a great start!

Adult French language provision at Cardiff has been praised by visitors from France's official centre for language and culture in the UK
Language education at the Centre for Lifelong Learning was the subject of a visit by the Institut Français, the French government body for language and culture in the UK.
The Centre has been working with the Institut for more than ten years to ensure that our French courses match the criteria of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
This was an occasion for the Centre to show the Institut the wide range of French language courses on offer as well as the state-of-the-art language teaching facilities. In exchange, the Institut launched their new online platform, Culturethèque, aimed at all Francophile students.
The Centre provides part-time courses from absolute beginners to very advanced levels. Courses are taught both in the daytime and the evenings to cater for the needs of everyone who wants to learn French in Cardiff and beyond. Students are able obtain French DELF and DALF diplomas through these courses.
Dr Catherine Chabert, French co-ordinating lecturer at the Centre said: "Over the years, we have noticed an increasing local interest in foreign language learning. It's as if, once they are adults, people then see the point of learning a language. Their motivations vary, from gaining a qualification for their CV, enjoying the challenge and pleasures derived from being able to speak another language, to improving their awareness of cultural differences."
Axelle Oxborrow, UK co-ordinator for the French diplomas recognised by the French Ministry of Education (the DELF and DALF) commented: "Your facilities at the Centre are very good. You have two state-of-the-art language laboratories which many language centres would envy and the atmosphere in your classrooms seems naturally conducive to active communication. I am really impressed by the Centre's strong provision of language programmes."
Gaëlle Robin, the Director of the Language Centre at the Institut Français, launching the online platform Culturethèque, said: "As long as you are a UK resident, you can access this online platform for free. We have e-books, films and audio documents, carefully selected and accessible from the comfort of your home. There is no equivalent anywhere else in the world."

No charges against Zimmerman in dispute with wife
A Lake Mary police spokesman says no criminal charges will be filed against George Zimmerman stemming from a dispute last month with his estranged wife.
Officer Zach Hudson said Wednesday that investigators had decided the dispute didn't rise to criminal charges.
The dispute took place last month, just days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers. Shellie Zimmerman said in the divorce papers that she had separated from her husband in August, a month after he was acquitted in the 2012 fatal shooting death of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin.
The dispute took place at a home where the Zimmermans had lived before they were separated. The Lake Mary home is owned by Shellie Zimmerman's parents.

Doctor's Name NOT revealed in Series 7 Finale?
According to a rumour in the Daily Star, fans will not actually learn the Doctor's name in the Series 7 finale. His "greatest secret" will be something else.
They state:
Rumour has it that although characters in the show will discover the secret, viewers will be kept in the dark as the name won't actually be broadcast or shown when it airs on Saturday, May 18.
A source said: "We may have to wait another 50 years to find out. Steven Moffat is a big tease."
But a "show spokeswoman" supposedly said: "We learn The Doctor's greatest secret but it will be a surprise whether we learn his real name."
