The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York announced Tuesday that local boards, pastors and school administrators have decided to close 22 of its parochial elementary schools in June, including five in Manhattan and seven in the Bronx.
The closing Manhattan schools are Annunciation, Holy Cross, Holy Name of Jesus, St. James-St. Joseph and St. Jude.
In the northwest and South Bronx, Holy Spirit, Our Lady of Angels, Our Lady of Mercy and St. Jerome are the four schools marked for closure.
Another three schools, Blessed Sacrament, St. Anthony and St. Mary Star of the Sea, are closing in the east and northeast sections of the Bronx.
The St. Agnes Boys' High School will also close next year as a result of the decision of the archdiocese.
The decision impacts seven New York State counties, including Westchester and Rockland counties.
The closings will affect approximately 4,000 students, or 9 percent of enrollment.
One of the Bronx schools, Blessed Sacrament, counts Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor among its alumni.
Two city schools, one in the Bronx and one in Manhattan, avoided closure by submitting long-term plans that were approved by the archdiocese.
Decisions on two at-risk Staten Island schools have been delayed to allow for assessment of Hurricane Sandy damage.
The archdiocese said the closings were a financial decision that also took academic, enrollment and demographic data.
According to the archdiocese, it costs $7,000 per year to educate each child, but parents only pay half of that. Fundraising covers much of the rest.
It's not clear if that will change, but the archdiocese said it needs to save money by reducing overhead.
The archdiocese said the goal is to educate the same number of students in fewer schools.
Timothy McNiff, school superintendent of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, said he wants parents to know that the same education is available at another and that there was nothing wrong with the schools that are closing.
"They're not failing schools," McNiff said. "They're closing because the financial model that we have cannot sustain these schools anymore. Two hundred and seventy-six schools three years ago collectively realized a deficit of $24 million that the archdiocese had to subsidize, and obviously, that's not a sustainable model."
Students at the closing schools are expected to transfer to another Catholic school. The archdiocese said that starting next week, every effort will be made to help students transfer into another Catholic school for the 2013-14 school year.

Offer: Job: Media and Crowdsourcing Project Manager, Internews in Niger
Internews is seeking a Media and Crowdsourcing Project Manager to implement an exciting new journalism and crowd sourcing program in Niger. This small but ambitious program focuses on the extractive industries sector in Niger. It seeks to improve the capacity of selected civil society and media organizations to promote citizen participation in the drafting, approval and oversight of the implementation of laws and regulations governing natural resources management.
Internews is seeking a multi-talented professional – someone with both traditional and social media journalism skills. The perfect candidate will be a trainer, an innovator, a subject specialist, and a passionate believer in the power of information to improve lives.
The trainer is someone who can engage with journalists to provide specialist trainings focusing on issues of transparency, in the wider context of investigative and economic journalism. The trainer will also work with journalists to use mobile phones, cameras, and video, and to gather information from social media, blogs, community meetings and focus groups to monitor the natural resources industry.
The selected trainer will work with local media (radio, print, social media) to mentor them to produce reports on natural resources management, laws and regulations; information spots will educate the public on specific issues (such as policy implementations, management of revenues, unions, child labor, community relations with mining companies and human rights); and investigative reports will provide detailed insight on issues such as mining code reform, the natural resource economy, and international supply chain transparency initiatives in the private sector.
The innovator and social media skill set will be used to invite citizens to participate in monitoring the effects and the outcomes of the mining activities in their communities by using their mobile phones for citizen crowdsourcing. The incoming SMS (and possibly IVR for voice messages) will be then mapped to provide a spatial and temporal dimension to the information collected that will allow an understanding of which are the most affected communities and the variation of the phenomenon over time.
The system will directly link the crowd to the local media that will be managing the incoming information received by the local population to follow up on stories on the ground and provide an overall picture of the actual outcomes of those activities on the local communities. An outreach strategy will advertise the system to local communities, while local media will manage it.

Every business has a target market and specific demographic they cater to and focus their marketing efforts on. However, the question becomes is that working for you?
Women are responsible for an estimated 85% of consumer buying decisions in the US.
Behind ever business success story lies the hidden truth. Do you have a segment of your marketing that is targeted to women? They are the the golden ticket to your success. There is no reason to deny it.
Women may represent only half the total consumer market, but in actuality, women make (or influence) the vast majority of purchasing decisions. Tom Peters, author of the bestseller In Search of Excellence, cites women in America as the largest single spending bloc on the planet. As he sees it, "Its just plain stupid not to cater to them." StartupNation.com
How to Target Women
- Relationship Building – Take the time to make an emotional connection and always be authentic. Women are smart, they see through the BS quickly and don't easily trust. When marketing to women, treat them like people, not "women". via @JudyGrundstrom
- Practicality- How does your business service or product add to their lifestyle? Is it practical and long-term? Women take into account a balance of lifestyle and have spirituality attachments. Make your case, but don't over sell.
- Social Media - Influenced by peers, most women make their decisions on brands by reading blogs, viewing Twitter posts and discussions on Facebook. Additionally, social media will enforce their perception of the brands they are committed to, as well as introduce them to new brands. Read more about why social media is so valuable.
- Don't Stereotype – Remember that women have many roles, interests and experiences! The Bechdel Test deals with the stereotyping of women in advertising, movies and entertainment. Take the time to read this post and view the video clips… especially the mini van!

Rising ice-cold water had reached the neck of the 18-year-old driver of a flipped car by the time RCMP officers pulled her to safety.
Police have released details of the dramatic rescue of the Chilliwack woman, whose Hyundai flipped upside down into a water-filled ditch on Gibson Road on Wednesday.
Just before noon, Mounties responded to a 911 call from the driver. She told the 911 dispatcher that her car was filling quickly with water and was already at her waist. Then the phone line went dead.
Police arrived on the scene to find the Hyundai laying in deep water with only its tires exposed.
Knowing time was running out, several Mounties entered the ditch in order to lift the car up to expose the back window. As they did so, another officer attempted to break the window with a punch. The first strikes were unsuccessful, but eventually the window gave way.
The officer then pulled the woman to safety, with both needing to swim to the ditch's surface.
The woman was taken to hospital, suffering from Stage 1 hypothermia.
The RCMP have released neither the driver's name nor those of her rescuers.
"By the time police reached me, the water was up to my neck," an RCMP news release quoted the driver as saying.
"A bunch of the officers went in the water to lift the car and the next thing I knew I was being pulled out, we had to swim. I am just so grateful to everyone who was there yesterday to help me."
One officer received several stitches in his hand as well as a bad sprain, according to police.
"This is such a heroic act," RCMP spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. "A lot of bravery and selflessness on the part of all the officers involved went into saving this woman's life."
Mounties say an ornament of a guardian angel was later found in the overturned vehicle, to the surprise of the driver. It was returned to her and now hangs on her family's Christmas tree..

A. Provost's
Report Card, August, 1997
The 1997-98 academic year is one in which we are reaping the fruits of years of planning and hard work by many individuals on the faculty, staff and administration of UWM. These results are cause for pride for all of those who have committed to moving the campus forward consistent with the strategies outlined in the Strategic Plan for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as delivered by Chancellor Schroeder to the UW Board of Regents in June of 1996.
Years of attention to expanded recruiting efforts, to improved campus physical facilities for our students, to enhanced classroom and extracurricular experiences, to additional new student advising opportunities and to a more seamless experience for transfer students have produced rising numbers of new students and increased retention for those who have chosen to enroll at UWM. The first major statistical impact of these efforts was seen this year with an increase of about 800 head count and 500 fte students in the fall of 1997. This marked enrollment increase reduced by half the gap between actual campus enrollments and the enrollment target established by UW System for the campus. An immediate result of this success is the cancellation by UW System of the scheduled last payment of $354,000 to buy down our enrollment targets and the staunching of the annual flow of one-time funds to UW System when our enrollment revenues fell below projected levels. Projections by our Enrollment Management Working Group are for another 500 fte increase in enrollments this coming fall that would bring the campus above its enrollment target for 1998-99.
Later in this document we discuss in more detail the factors that have led to this critical enrollment turnaround for the campus and the impact it will have. Suffice it to say here that two pivotal results include, first, a renewed sense among our students that UWM is an excellent choice for a top quality education that prepares them for the rapidly changing world they work and live in and, second, a change in our resource situation so that we can, for the first time in several years, anticipate resource stability or even rising resources as additional students generate increasing tuition revenues.
The Wisconsin biennial budget for 1997-99 had much more positive than negative news for the campus. Like all campuses across the UW System, UWM received new funding for several areas of technology, including infrastructure support for the campus network, for curricular and desktop computing for instructional faculty and staff and improved access to an expanded statewide network. In addition, UWM received specific funding for new masters degree programs in occupational therapy and physical therapy and funding for a new Institute for Educational Excellence in the School of Education. These campus specific funds in the biennial budget mean that UWM received considerably more than its pro rata share of the biennial budget increases. This success was the result of committed effort by many individuals at UWM.
UWM's entry into membership in Internet 2 late in the 1996-97 academic year also has yielded important fruit for the campus. The campus has just received $350,000 through a National Science Foundation vBNS (very broadband Backbone Network System) grant to support the high speed access required by our Internet 2 membership. Thus, careful strategic planning last year that resulted in UWM joining the Internet 2 has been rewarded with substantial funding to help the campus upgrade its access to technology years earlier than would otherwise have been possible. The result will be very high speed access to the internet for research and other academic activities that require such access to develop new areas of study and exciting opportunities for the campus.
A most impressive area of progress in the past 18 months has been the development of the program array review. The review was first suggested in the Faculty Senate document contributing to the campus strategic plan and then included in the Provost's Action Plan that responded to the strategic plan. The review has been led by the Academic Planning and Budget Committee, which has just sent its report to the provost's office. The report, which identifies thirty programs in need of attention, will be forwarded to the Academic Program and Curriculum Committee (for undergraduate programs) or to the Committee on Reviews (for graduate programs) along with action recommendations from the deans of the programs.
This faculty-led effort comes at a most fortuitous time for the campus, given that we have returned enrollments and resources to a level of stability that will permit us to devote attention to programs identified for special attention by this process or by their schools and colleges. As this document will describe, funds held in a campus enrollment contingency to deal with the costs of our enrollment shortfalls over the past few years will be gradually transferred to other purposes and identified as a campus opportunity fund. Because the program array review was not complete at the time we were concluding this document, we have built the 1998-99 budget to include a number of one-year commitments. These funds can be reinvested as we build the 1999-2000 budget. Needed investments identified through the program array review process will be a priority for investment of these funds.
The Provost's Action Plan lists 51 specific action items. Many of these have been completed or have seen substantial progress in the two years since the Strategic Plan was announced. This list will be seen in the report card to be completed later this year. There remain, though, some broad and significant areas in which the campus has not made progress during the period of the plan. We need to devote special attention to these areas as we move toward the end of the century and into the third year of the strategic plan. These areas include:
The fourth strategic initiative of the UWM Strategic Plan calls upon the campus to improve the campus environment. No aspect of the campus environment, particularly at an urban university, is more important than the development of a campus climate and culture that genuinely encourages and supports diversity. I am frequently struck by the recognition in the business and corporate sphere that diversity is a key element of business success. Many major corporations now surpass higher education in their recognition of and commitment to developing a strong and diverse work environment. For example, a central motto at GE Corporation is, "Engaged diverse teams are more effective in delivering better solutions faster." As an urban university, UWM is positioned to be a model for the creation of a diverse and effective work environment. The private sector is ready and willing to be partners in efforts to create such a model. This spring we will be completing The Milwaukee Commitment, the third edition of the Milwaukee Initiative. The entire campus needs to become engaged not only with the preparation of this new five-year plan, but also with its implementation.
Although the program array review process is not completed and still needs oversight by the Academic Planning and Budget Committee, that process is in a new phase requiring attention by the curriculum committees, the administration and the programs identified for attention. It now is possible to direct ourselves to other concerns such as a review of the system by which faculty are evaluated for promotion and merit salary awards.
During the current decade, the faculty have addressed two major areas of concern regarding assignment of their work and evaluation of their progress. They have revised the faculty workload policy and have implemented a policy and process for the review and development of tenured faculty. Departmental and divisional criteria for rewarding and promoting faculty comprise a third area deserving serious faculty review. These criteria were established many years ago in different times and when this campus was still trying to build itself to the level of a research campus. UWM now is a research university, moreover the times and needs of all universities are changing. Realizing the goals of the campus strategic plan and meeting the varied demands of an urban research university require departments to identify the tasks that need to be done in a successful unit and to assign faculty to those tasks consistent with the strengths of the individual members. Departments must be able to establish differential work assignments and to reward members for excellence in accomplishing the assigned tasks. The current promotion and reward criteria and procedures may not provide the flexibility required of a major urban research university in which departments must plan to fulfill, as appropriate, all aspects of our mission. These policies, procedures and criteria need to be reviewed and altered, as appropriate.
The decade of the 1990's has seen steady but unspectacular increase in the level of extramural funding for the campus. Funding levels have risen at rates that only marginally exceed inflation over the decade. The Strategic Plan calls upon the campus to increase extramural funding levels in keeping with UWM's Research II status and to move the campus up the list of Research II universities. The Provost's Action Plan stipulates that the campus will reallocate state research funding, where necessary, to ensure that the funding will be effective in bring increased levels of extramural support to the campus. We have not done this for the 1998-99 fiscal year, but the new Dean of the Graduate School and Associate Provost for Research, William Rayburn, will be asked to prepare, during the coming months, a plan by which we can increase the leverage of our state research dollars in bringing substantial increases in extramural funding to the campus.
Compared to many research universities, UWM is a geographically compact campus and one at which there are many opportunities for disciplines to interact through interdisciplinary centers, multidisciplinary academic programs and through the advantages of close physical proximity. Our campus always has prized the accessibility of its best faculty to students at all levels and the opportunity for students to be exposed to the scholarly process. We value for our graduate and undergraduate students the integration of the discovery of knowledge with its dissemination and its application. The campus needs to increase its attention to these opportunities and to develop more highly visible programs that illustrate the benefits of this integration.
Finally, the Provost's Action Plan calls upon the campus to increase the opportunities for our faculty and students to engage in inter- and multi-disciplinary programs of scholarship and instruction and to integrate these across the areas of discovery, dissemination and application. Centers like Twentieth Century Studies and Great Lakes Studies are examples of programs designed to accomplish this. The campus should work to expand opportunities to establish widely recognized multidisciplinary strengths that would attract both extramural support and outstanding students and faculty. Areas recently suggested and deserving of attention include international studies, urban environmental health, and lifespan development. These and other opportunities need to be explored and developed in the coming months.
Our successes this year should serve to remind us, as Chancellor Schroeder steps down from his position, that he has emphasized the simple message that we will be known as a university by what we have given our students and the extent to which they prosper at UWM and after moving on. We have remembered this lesson in recent years and have seen new students choose our campus and current students choose to remain. This success ultimately is the key to all others.
This planning document provides an update on the progress of UWM, and particularly the Division of Academic Affairs, in implementing the campus strategic plan and describes resource management strategies and decisions for 1998-99 and beyond. Regarding the strategic plan, this document covers only selected highlights that update the provost's report card on the strategic plan, which is attached as Appendix A. The complete report on campus progress in implementing the strategic plan will be distributed following the completion of the 1997-98 academic year.
This planning document also offers the opportunity to describe, and to raise for campus discussion, program and resource planning priorities for next year and beyond. While resource allocations, listed in the final section, are described for 1998-99 alone, the decisions are made in the context of future resource projections and needs.
A. North Central Accreditation
B. Strategic Initiative I: Integrate the Creation, Dissemination and Application of Knowledge by:
C. Strategic Initiative II: Stabilize Enrollment and Resources: Increase student enrollment and retention, better utilize existing resources, and find ways to enlarge the university's resource base.
D. Strategic Initiative III: Expand Technology: Employ appropriate information and communication technology to improve the academic, student service and administrative operations of the campus.
E. Strategic Initiative IV: Enhance the Campus Environment: Improve the support systems and physical facilities that make the campus environment conducive to learning and working.
A. Continuing Progress in Areas of Success
B. Areas in Which Greater Progress Is Needed
As reported earlier in this document, UWM continues to progress in a number of the goals set by the Milwaukee Initiative. Most notably, the diversity of the student body continues to increase. Nevertheless, there continues to be a disparity between our current progress and the potential this institution has to advance multiculturalism. We need to continue to increase the diversity of students, staff, and faculty, but also to ensure learning and working environments that nurture success. We need to increase our focus on Milwaukee's youth and adults to improve access to and preparation for college. And, we need to ensure that all of our students leave this institution prepared to live and work effectively in a multicultural world.
For the past ten years, overall campus strategies and goals for increasing diversity have been set forth in the Milwaukee Initiative I and II. The next major campus plan - the Milwaukee Commitment - is in the final stages of drafting and will be shared widely for review and comment over the next several months. It is anticipated that the Milwaukee Commitment will be in place in Fall, 1998.
A. Campus Resources in 1998-99
B. Campus Allocations in 1998-99 (Includes Allocations of $10,000 or More)
C. Campus Resource Needs and Management Beyond 1998-99

Derek Wolfe was a non factor against Oakland
Just my observations from rewatching every defensive snap Wolfe played against the Raiders Week 4.
I hadn't really paid much attention to him before so I wanted to see what kind of game he put in.
: Wolfe played all over the DL. RDE/LDE, both DT slots. The only time he didn't stay on the field was when he was obviously gassed or we went to Psycho Fronts with the Front 7 standing up.
1st step off the snap:
This is where Wolfe disapointed the most. Regardless of where he lined up, who he lined up against, he was consistently the slowest DL in his first step. I won't compare him to Dumervil because that's just unfair but Vickerson/Unrein and even Bannan had a quicker first step than Wolfe.
Like I said I haven't tracked his individual play from weeks 1-3 so I can't compare historically but in this game he was just, well, hesitant.
Was very stout against the run, didn't give up his ground even when up against two blockers. Contained his gap very well when he couldn't penetrate. But we didn't really get this guy to stop the run I guess.
Just really his first step. It was all just a mash after that. Because he was slower with no snap/explosiveness he didn't get the right body lean, leverage, and positioning to do much to get past his blocker(s).
I'M NOT calling him a bust. Just stating what I saw, anyone else is welcome to rewatch the game or provide their thoughts on what they saw from week 1-3.
EDIT: Even when we were up two scores and the DL had free license to rush the QB he still was our slowest DLman out there.

Gimme, Gimme!
Cool things Metro Parent editors love and you gotta have
Mar 1, 2011
Tikatok Create a Book
Here's one to write home about: This website lets creativity soar, giving kids the chance to write, illustrate and publish their own stories!
As writers, we love to see kids expressing themselves through this wonderful form of creativity – and letting their imaginations take flight. So when we came across Tikatok.com, we were ecstatic. It's a website that gives your kids the tools to design their own original story!
A great gift for parents, grandparents and family members alike, the books can be created in just three steps. Kids ages 4 to 12 simply write a book – which they can craft from scratch or with the help of the templates available on the website – add pictures and order.
You can create a memory book from the templates given on the site, or use the StorySpark section for inspiration. Don't need help? Click the "Create from Scratch" link and you're ready to write.
Books can be downloaded as PDFs for $2.99, or purchased as professional quality soft covers (starting at $15) or hard covers (starting at $18). And teachers or educators who want to use Tikatok in class are eligible for special pricing.
Sharon Kan is the mastermind behind the idea of Tikatok.com – which is now a Barnes & Noble company. After a visit to a bookstore with her daughter, Kan realized adults wrote all of the children's books. Why not have books written by other kids?
So Kan, along with a group from MIT University, began developing the concept for Tikatok.com. It would become the first Internet publishing platform for kids.
Tailor-made for young authors, the site is super easy to navigate. Plus, it's in a safe online environment.
Like the creators say, "Every Child Has a Story" – so why not nurture it in Tikatok? Who knows: You might have the next Hemmingway on your hands!

Welcome to the Altmar-Parish-Williamstown (APW) Central School District serving our community since 1960. The APW School District serves approximately 1,300 students that reside within a 180 square mile area. We just completed a $34.8 million capital project that consolidated and reconfigured our entire District. Our new state-of-the-art two building learning campus will help launch our students into the 21st Century, and will serve the needs of our community's young people for decades to come. Altmar Elementary School, Parish Elementary School, and Williamstown Elementary School have been closed and will be repurposed. Not since our centralization in 1956 has the landscape of our District been transformed to this magnitude. Located on the Southern side of the Tug Hill Plateau in Oswego County, the APW School District is nestled in the center of some of the most beautiful country Central New York has to offer. Our area is known for its access to hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and snowmobiling. Racing enthusiasts are only minutes from a variety of tracks.

Barbara Lynn brings the blues to Jazz & Blues Fest

In the 1960s, Beaumont native Barbara Lynn became a worldwide superstar with songs that empowered women during a time when women certainly needed a little empowering.

Less music words, more music-playing on The Local Scene
Gritty, theatrical, dreamy, fuzzy, catchy, mesmerizing, spaced out, loud — the wide spectrum of the human language allows me to convey the texture and feel of music to curious, music-loving audiences. Except that it doesn't. Words fail to accurately describe what you can expect to hear at a show. Wouldn't it be great if cat5 […] [Read More]

St. Mary's
A town and river in Georgia and a county in Maryland. The first St. Mary's was named for the community in Georgia. The second, third, and fourth ships of that name were named for the county in Maryland. The third St. Mary's retained her former name.
(Galley: keel length 52 feet; beam 15 feet; depth 5 feet 8 inches; complement 28; armament 1 24-pounder gun, 5 brass howitzers)
The galley St. Mary's was built on the St. Mary's River in Georgia in 1798. One of seven galleys constructed and equipped by the Navy for operation under the War Department on coast defense duty during the Quasi-War with France, St. Mary's officers were appointed by the Secretary of the Navy, while the remainder of her crew was composed of local recruits.
Able to maneuver under oars in the absence of wind, the galley was ideally suited for the defense of the many inlets and small harbors along the coast of the southern United States. In addition to defending settlements and waterways, her duty was to prevent hostile raids, depredations and to take or destroy any armed French vessels encountered.
St. Mary's cruised off the Georgia coast from 1798 to 1801, protecting local commerce and watching for any French privateers. She was transferred to the Revenue Cutter Service late in 1801.

About Us
Press Room
Page Navigation
To the Anchor:
Today's WCUU program talks about where Unitarian Universalists think we (the world and universe) should go. When the broadcast begins, you are alone on camera, sitting or standing in front of a microphone.
[Director: Cue the station break.]
[Director: Cue the Anchor.]
Anchor: This is WCUU, Wisdom of the Community of Unitarian Universalists, on the air.
[Director: Cue the theme music.]
Anchor: Good morning. I am [give your real or stage name]. This morning's broadcast features the UU Guru, members of the world-famous GUPUS Group and our own NUUs Analyst. Now I welcome our first guest, the UU Guru.
[Director: Cue UU Guru to join Anchor in front of the camera.]
Anchor: Good morning, Guru, and welcome to our WCUU broadcast studio.
UU Guru: Thank you. I'm glad to be here.
Anchor: I understand you are wise in the ways of UUs.
UU Guru: You might say so. In fact, I do say so. In further fact, I'm pretty good at it.
Anchor: Then I hope you won't mind a bit of a challenge, Guru.
UU Guru: Not at all. Let's do it!
Anchor: Okay: Bring in the GUPUS Group!
UU Guru: Goofus? Did you just call me a goofus? I object!
Anchor: No, no, Guru. You misheard me. I said GUPUS, not goofus!
[Director: Cue members of the GUPUS Group to join the Anchor and UU Guru on camera, standing so their nametags read G-U-P-U-S.]
UU Guru: It really is a GUPUS Group.
UU Guru: Ah . . . er . . . ah.
Anchor: Try finding two letters that are the same.
UU Guru: I got it! That's UU.
[Director: Cue the two Us to step aside together.]
UU Guru: I see it! I did it! I see it! It's GPS for Global Positioning System. And everything together is the UU GPS.
Anchor: Right you are. Well done, Guru. Now here is the next part of your challenge. Our UU GPS is just like others. It can tell us how to reach our destination. But first we have to tell it what the destination is. That's what we need from you, Guru. What is our destination? Where do most UUs think we, the world and the universe should be going?
UU Guru: Ah . . . er . . . ah. I know! Let's ask the GUPUS Group.
Anchor: You mean the UU GPS Group. Good idea. What about it, Group? Where are we going? What do we want the world and universe to be like in the future?
[Director: Cue the GUPUS Goup, to step forward and say their goals.]
G: My goals are [two goals chosen in advance]...
UU Guru: Great! Where else are we going?
[Director: Cue the other members of the GUPUS Group, in turn, to call out their answers.]
UU Guru: Okay, Anchor, those are the destinations for our UU GPS. I think I have met your challenge beautifully.
Anchor: Well somebody has met my challenge beautifully. Thank you, UU Guru. Thank you, members of the UU GPS Group.
[Director: Cue the UU Guru and the GUPUS Group to move off camera.]
Anchor: Now for today's analysis from American's favorite NUUs Analyst.
[Director: Cue NUUs Analyst to join Anchor either sitting or standing in front of the camera.]
Anchor: Can you sort this out for us, NUUs Analyst? What is the meaning of the messages we have just received? What are some typical UU responses to today's Big Question, "Where are we going?"
NUUs Analyst: Most UUs say they do not know exactly where we are going. But they think it is up to us humans to decide on our goals and get us there. That is because about half of all UUs say they are humanist. Humanists believe the actions of humans are primarily responsible for the state of the world and we humans should use reason and science, along with other disciplines, to make our world a better place. Most UUs believe we humans will play a huge part in deciding just where the world and the universe and the human race are going. This is what makes Unitarian Universalism a humanistic religion. They agree on a lot of the goals, too. They want the world to be peaceful and just, and equal, and democratic, and all other things the UU Principles talk about.
Anchor: Thank you, NUUs Analyst. That is very, very helpful.
NUUs Analyst: But I have just started. Did you know that the UU hymnbook, Singing the Living Tradition, has four readings and 71 hymns identified as humanist teachings. I am going to sing every one of them for you right now.
Anchor: Thanks for the offer, NUUs Analyst, but I don't think so. We are totally out of time. We have to go right straight to our theme music right now.
Anchor: This is [your real or stage name] signing off for WCUU.

The 8 Best Bodyweight Exercises Known to Man!
If you want to know the 8 best bodyweight exercises known to man keep reading. I have come up with what I think are the best exercises for a total body make over.
After over 30 years of training and experiments, I have rounded out the 8 most intense result producing exercises for building strength, conditioning, agility, quickness, body awareness, and over all athletic ability.
They are: Push ups, Burpees, Prisoner Squat Thrusts, Step ups (At least 10" to 18" in height), Pull-ups, Bear crawls, Sprints/Hill Sprints, and Jumping Rope.
Today everyone has the answer and most of the time it comes in a complicated riddle. Most think the longer and more complicated and cooler a workout looks it has got to be the best way to train. And guess what? People still don't seem to get it.
It all comes down to what you have been told what you have read and what you believe. It comes to down to hard work, and I will continue to push the hard working approach to building real physical fitness that will enhance every area of your life physically and mentally.
There are a ton of great bodyweight exercises out there to build strength and conditioning, but I want the most effective and result producing exercises to get results.
I picked the basic bodyweight exercises, because you need almost no equipment. All you need is the willingness to work hard and sweat. To do step ups you need a step and a jump rope is cheap, and can be carried it anywhere. Pull-ups can be done almost anywhere you can hang, a tree branch, a towel thrown over something, a rafter.
One exercise that I left out is "Dips" I love dips, but it's a little tougher to find a place to do dips unless you have a dip rack. But include whenever you can.
I will leave you with this workout you can do and one that will make you think twice about complicated workouts.
Start: Do 25 pushups - jump up grab your jump rope and jump rope 50 times as fast as you can - drop the rope - and do 10 burpees. Repeat this as fast as possible for 10 rounds. Total work 250 pushups jumped rope 500 times and 100 burpees.
A lot of work in a short time, and don't let the simplicity fool you. So I leave it up to you, to see for yourself the results with a simple effective plan. Life is complicated enough, why make your training the same. It's the little stuff that gives the biggest rewards.

occurs to me, as a guy who prefers sharpening a straight razor over
throwing mountains of cartridges in the trash, wears grown-up hats
instead of ball caps, considers a sport coat a minimum requirement
for dining in a decent restaurant, and often writes with a decades-old
fountain pen instead of buying plastic bags full of disposable pens
(oh, OK, maybe the pen is just an eccentricity), that I'm in imminent
danger of being nabbed and turned into a museum exhibit.
I'm as big
a defender of consumer culture as anybody. I'm a big believer in
choice. People should have options available and be able to select
what suits them.
But my choices
tend to veer sharply from those of the prevailing culture. Where
most folks go for the lowest common denominator under the banner
of comfort and convenience, I like quality, durability and a little
Razors I've
written about before. I hone and strop my razor because I resent
buying a "razor" that's nothing more than a handle that
comes with an obligation to buy expensive cartridges. The vintage
blade I'm using now cost me twenty bucks in a junk shop, which isn't
much more than the price of a pack of Fusion blades. Yes, I have
to maintain it, but it still gives a close shave after a half-century
or so. Ten years from now, the Gilette Fusion will have been retired
in favor of some vibrating 12-blade monstrosity, and my razor will
still be going strong.
And, hats.
I like hats. In fact, living under the Arizona sun, I need hats.
But if you need protection from the elements, you can opt for something
well-made, that makes you look good, or you can stick a cheap piece
of polyester trash on your head. Actually, a lot of Arizonans feel
as I do and wear felt hats in cooler weather and straw hats in summer.
There's a tradition here of fine headwear. So there's really no
excuse for sticking a ball cap on your head as the covering of choice.
Especially since it makes you look like a 12-year-old boy.

Would you believe me if I told you I didn't spend a single dime on this project, not even a penny for that matter? It's the truth, I promise. The reason is, I make this Painted Clock from a side table that I have been hauling around in the back of my car for a month. I had good intentions of donating it, along with the pots and pans that have been clanking around back there. Not sure why, it really needed to be trashed considering the leg that screwed on had been stripped. It was worse than a snaggletooth until I used packing tape to hold it on!! Luck for me, it never made it out of the trunk, and I came up with this brilliant idea instead!!
I am so happy with the way it turned out!! If I remember correctly, I picked the table up at a Hancock Fabric Store for less than $20 years ago. That makes it a whole lot less than the $149 price tag Pottery Barn is asking for it!!!
Click this link for the Material List and Stencils: Painted Clock
I started by cutting out the letters. If you will notice it was at this point I realized I'd done some things wrong. The roman numeral wasn't IV, but rather IIII, and they needed to be curved, not straight across. In the next step I used a yard stick to make sure that I placed the Roman Numeral straight across.
Once I got them all like I wanted them I used a plate as a guide to achieve the arch. They aren't perfect but close enough. I used scotch taped to hold the top half of each paper down to the face.
At this point I removed the brackets that the legs screwed into. It was just a matter of transferring the font onto the face, using the good old fashion transfer method now. I scribble some graphite onto a scratch paper, placed it under the font (graphite side down), and traced the font. Once I completed the transfer I went over the marks with a fine tip black paint marker.
The Pottery Barn version has the center cut out but I don't have the tools for that, so I used a small glass to trace a circle into the center. Then using a screwdriver I outlined the circle and scrapped out the paint. Once that was complete, I went over that section with more of the Annie Sloan Dark Wax. In order to draw the lines around the edge, I placed a pencil at the end of a ruler, and a finger at half an inch and followed the perimeter of the circle marking a line. Then I made a second line the same way, at an inch in from the edge. I think if were going to do it again I would have made them closer to the edge.
So here is what the Pottery Barn version looks like:
And here is what my side table converted to a Painted Clock looks like. So what do you think, how did I do?

Happy Birthday: Federal Income Tax Turns 100
By editor
Originally published on Mon April 15, 2013 8:28 am
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
If you weren't finished with your taxes, you may have been buried in paperwork over the weekend. Not true for last-minute filers a century ago. While this year's 1040 tax form has 214 pages of instructions, in 1913 it was just one page. There was a section for how farmers should claim livestock including animal wool and hides. There was a line for losses sustained in firestorm or shipwreck. But sorry, the family account at the country store was not deductible.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Ferris' Jim Crow Museum Featured In Detroit Free Press Article
Ferris State University vice president for Diversity and Inclusion David Pilgrim, curator of the Jim Crow Museum for Racist Memorabilia, was part of a Detroit Free Press feature story.
Some people think hateful racist images should be ignored, kept out of sight. Buried in the past.For the complete story, visit the Detroit Free Press website, here.
But Ferris State University educator, administrator and historian David Pilgrim doesn't see it that way.
He says that derogatory images are not only fixtures from the past, they are being created every day. Moreover, Pilgrim believes that the images can be used to spur productive conversations about race.
That's why he created the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia -- photos, cartoons, artifacts, art and everyday objects that present negative portrayals of blacks and others.A traveling exhibit from the museum, "THEM: Images of Separation," will be on display at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit through March 5.

Bone Marrow National Donor Registry Drive
The drive will be held in Ferris' Student Recreation Center on Wednesday, March 2 from 12 to 5 p.m.
Participants in this drive will not actually be donating bone marrow, but instead can sign up for the registry – a gesture that could be the first step to potentially saving a life. Individuals who wish to participate will have the inside of their mouth (the cheek) swabbed. The results are sent to the foundation to determine the type of match.
Brittnay Gillett, a Health Care Administration senior and a native of Birch Run said, "You're signing up for a great cause that could eventually help to save a life. In the future, more donors will be needed so signing up now will help for years to come."
Donors are required to be between the ages of 18 and 60.
"So far we have only heard questions from the Allied Health students, but we are hoping those who attend the Red Cross donation will stop by the marrow donation," Gillett said.
Light refreshments will be provided for those who sign up and blood donations are welcome.
The event is sponsored by the Health Care Management Association, the Red Cross and the National Bone Marrow Foundation
For more information, contact Brittnay Gillett at email@example.com.
David Pilgrim Interviewed By CUTV
Dr David Pilgrim, vice president of diversity and equity at Ferris State University and founder of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memoribilia, came to give a lecture and workshop on "Using Objects of Intolerance to Teach Tolerance: A View from the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia". The lecture was sponsored by the Centre for Ethographic and Exhibition in the Aftermath of Violence (http://cerev.concordia.ca). The piece focuses on how David and the new museum (which will soon be moving in to a new space) can use these objects to create dialogue and understanding, and use the museum to tell a variety of stories, including stories of resistence and hope.

Most sunglasses cases—often standard-issue with purchase, a generic afterthought, or a pouch too flimsy to carry fragile frames—don't do justice to the accessories they contain. For the detail-obssesed, Steve Mono's Tony Capitol collection makes a polished way to stow eyewear out of harm's way.
Founded in 2006, Steve Mono (a Spanish leather goods line) keeps the design of the case refreshingly straightforward with clean lines, subtle hardware and spare branding. Designer Gonzalo Fonseca, inspired by the "classic, easy and cool" pieces he often spots in vintage films, book and photographs, creates accessories for men but notes "women use and like to steal their men's bags."
Available in blue or red, the Tony Capital case sells from Opening Ceremony for $75.

Invisible No More on Veterans' Day
In honor of Veterans' Day, M.S.W. student Rachel Beddick and Associate Professor Linda T. Sanford M.S.W. hosted two screenings of the award-winning documentary The Invisible War, which examines sexual assault within the U.S. Armed Forces through the stories of victims, both men and women. The event was co-sponsored by the SSW SGA and the Trauma and Interpersonal Violence specialization.
M.S.W. student Nicole Frankel, who attended one of the screenings, had the following to say about the event:
The Invisible War is a documentary about military sexual assault. It is a product of the Invisible No More movement, which has an excellent website notinvisible.org
The film was very intense. There was just such a sense of rage and sadness, so much pain that the women and men in the film had expressed, and it was hard not to feel powerless while watching. Any human suffering is intolerable, but such extreme physical and emotional pain inflicted on people that are sacrificing everything to protect their country was just too much to bear. The assaults were brutal enough, but then learning about how the military is structured to prevent victims from getting help and from getting any semblance of justice - it was maddening. There were times when I literally had my head in my hands, unable to process the attitudes that some of the military personnel had towards rape/sexual assault in general, but also when it involves members of the military. The disconnect between policies and reality made me want to jump into the screen and shake the person speaking. There are people making decisions that are so clearly unqualified to do so and it's hard not to declare the entire system broken.
To me it seemed that the rape culture that survivors struggle against in civilian life to be heard, to be understood, to be believed and not blamed etc. is so pervasive in the military, and then on top of that you have the military culture that emphasizes everyone being strong and not admitting defeat or injury. The idea that sexual assault is a crime seemed impossible to some of those in power. These men and women were tortured by an environment that constantly reinforced that the problem was theirs to get over.
I was stuck wondering where change could even begin in an environment in which rape is considered an occupational hazard. The minimization of assault and unwavering victim blaming seems impossible to dismantle. What are the best prevention and response efforts? Clearly the committees on sexual assault that the military has already established are not working. Perpetrators need to know they will be caught and punished. Survivors need to know that they will be taken seriously and not subject to disciplinary action if they choose to report. Supervisors/higher ranking officials need to know that this is a real problem that needs to be addressed and not ignored or otherwise explained away.
This film is an excellent tool for clinicians to see the reality of sexual assault in the military, but also the effects of assault on people in general. Trauma is unfortunately so pervasive in our society that all of us will encounter clients who have something like this in their past. Seeing this film shows us what is going on and starts the thought process and discussion about potentially effective ways to support a client after a traumatic experience, how to be that source of hope when so many others have failed.
To learn more about the film and recent developments on the issue of military sexual trauma, please visit notinvisible.org.

A super-tough construction combined with an innovative twist makes the Yellow Hammer Spinnerbait Rig a tasty target for bass, and a reliable choice for anglers. The head of the Yellow Hammer Spinnerbait Rig is ultra-light and available in an array of custom baitfish designs. The spinner blades halfway down each arm are attached with ball bearing swivels and have additional rattles for an enhanced level of attraction. The four outer branches are equipped with willow blades, and a Colorado blade accompanies the center offshoot. Industrial strength swivels and snap locks on the end of each arm are tough enough to handle as many bass as you can get to bite - without busting. Next time you're fishing, drop the hammer on suspended bass with the Yellow Hammer Spinnerbait Rig.
**Don't forget to check your State's fish and game rules and regulations - a fully rigged umbrella rig is illegal in some States.

Comments: Good Quality Rig. I threw it last weekend and caught several nice fish on it. The snaps and swivels are strong and don't need to be replaced, I rigged it with two 1/8 oz Picasso Jigheads on top two wires, 3/16 ounce on Middle Wire and 1/4 oz on bottom wires. It ran true and caught fish consistently, I would recommend this product.
From: HB: TX 5/11/14
Comments: Best made A-Rig on the market. Nothing else comes close! Put it on the end of a 7'11" Cashion rod and you are in business! Quality parts equal a bait you can use every trip!
From: Drew: Bessemer, AL 3/9/14
Comments: The best A-rig on the market, hands down. Quality components and performs like it should for the price. A must have for serious fishermen.
From: Mike: Columbia, TN
Comments: I heard a lot about this bait being quality, so I tried it for myself. It held up better than any of the other rigs I have used. It has the perfect size blades and quality swivels that CONSISTENTLY turn. Other rigs are made with cheap components. This is the best rig I have used. Strongest snaps and swivels on the market. Plus, a swivel line tie. NICE!!!

You see, a lot of reasons, and every time we need a new tactic. Client already upset. Wow, so many days, tormented, and all in vain! Determine the composition of the body, we can say:
"Look, fat mass continues to decline, but the fact that you weigh not less than the last time, just the result of water retention. It is very common in obese people the situation. " Or another example: the weight is reduced, but it is important to determine which part of your body - fat or protein tissue lost to a greater extent. Lose protein bad: will flabby muscles, wrinkled skin, decrease immunity, may have heart problems. And well, when the client loses the excess fat. And here, too, could help control body composition ...
types of fat distribution.
Insufficient to assess obesity only excess weight, and even on the percentage of body fat. By type of fat distribution are the following types of obesity: abdominal (mainly fat located in the abdominal area), it is called fat distribution of male type; ginoidnaya (mostly fat located in the buttocks and thighs), it is called the female type of fat distribution, and mixed.
We talked about overweight in general, without specifying which arose due to overweight. People with muscular weight also may be more than the norm, but not at the expense of fat, but at the expense of muscle tissue.
Take bodybuilders and weightlifters. Their weight average growth may reach a hundred, and a hundred and twenty pounds, but it is not fat, but muscle. Situation, by the way, is not very healthy. The organism can not tolerate excess and therefore health problems can arise with an excess of body fat as well as with excess muscle tissue, but to a much lesser extent. And doctors are now starting to think about it.
It happens: weight like normal, however, the fat content in the body exceeds the norm. So what? Nothing good. Excess body fat is always creates problems, and sometimes these problems occur even with a slight excess, that is, even when a person weighs seemingly normal. Very often these people develop type visceral fat distribution, ie around the internal organs. For such cases in medicine of the West even now a special term - "skinny fat" or "non-obese obesity." For us, what is interesting. Man wants to be healthy.
Products must be extremely natural, necessary, if possible, eliminate all the "chemistry" - colors, flavors, flavor enhancers and other "zavlekalochki" because they have an unpleasant property of causing "cerebral irritation", ie increase the excitability of the already hyperactive child.
Regarding regime moments, it is important for these children purposeful exercise, required prolonged aerobic exercise. It sports such as skiing, skating, summer - biking, swimming. It is desirable to engage in sports as a family together holding long cross-country skiing, walking in the pool. In any case should not be betting on results, to avoid competition and personal achievement.
All this painful effect on the psyche of the child suffering from hyperactivity. But most importantly, what I would like to say in conclusion - is a mother's love. Therapy maternal love is hard to overestimate, it can never be much. Warm, friendly, cordial participation, respect for your child as an individual, without undue endless patience "syusyukaniya", and together with a reasonable and fair approach to education - there is a guarantee that any disease can be overcome if all its cover sincere love.
Teachers and parents report that children are extremely lively, restless, can not sit still during a lesson and homework.
These manifestations cause low academic performance of children with ADHD, despite the rather high intelligence. Such manifestations are explained by the inability of the central nervous system of a hyperactive child cope with the new requirements in terms of increasing his physical and mental exertion. At older ages, the first place goes impulsiveness, sometimes combined with aggressiveness.
Often adolescents with ADHD are at risk for the development of alcoholism and drug addiction. Recent trends in the treatment of ADHD are necessarily complex approach and include both psychological correction, and drug therapy. You can also use biofeedback (BFB therapy) and transcranial electrostimulation psychocorrection leading factor in children with ADHD is to change the behavior of adults primarily (parents and teachers), and the need to create a positive attitude to the child model. Psychological characteristics of hyperactive children are such that threshold of sensitivity to negative stimuli is very low, so they are immune to reprimands and punishment, but easily respond to the slightest praise. For these children, it is necessary to formulate instructions and, clearly, concisely and clearly.
Fold the edge of the cylinder inside, thus forming a loaf. Place the loaf in lightly greased baking tin bread, seam side facing down. Repeat the same procedure with the other half of the dough. Cover the mold with cling film (pre sprinkle each loaf a little flour to the film is not stuck to the dough) and put in a warm place to make the dough rise for a third time. While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 190 ° C. When the loaves will double (about 30 minutes), take a sharp knife to 3 diagonal cut along the top of each of them. Then place them in the lower grill in the oven and bake until golden brown - 35-40 minutes. The bread is ready, if the loaf makes a "hollow" sound when hit him on the bottom, or if the long toothpick or bamboo rod, piercing the middle of the stick, is clean. The ingredients which are required for the preparation are as follows:-
• Yield: 2 loaves - The salt content (sodium salt): 7 mg of sodium in one piece of 1.5 cm
• Barbecue sauce
• 2 tbsp. tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion
• 4 pepper jalapeno, seeded and diced
• 1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
• 4 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tbsp. spoons of honey
• 2 tbsp. tablespoons white wine sauce
• 1.5 tsp dried coriander
• 1.5 tsp dried thyme
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
The familiar dishes will simply tasteless, and rice and lean chicken breast with vegetables very quickly bored. That is why it is important to know some ways of cooking without salt, but with the preservation of its flavor. In an extreme case, the content of salt (sodium) will be greatly reduced and kept to a minimum, and it will play a positive role in all the above cases. After the dough becomes too thick to stir it with a wooden spoon, place it in a blender container, place the mixer on low speed and add the flour little by little until then, until the dough begins to come off the walls of the bowl.) Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl with straight walls, cover with cling film and put in a warm place until then, until the dough will expand in volume by half. It should take about an hour. When the dough has risen, umnite it down, remove from bowl, knead a few times and put it back in the bowl to give it up for the second time about 45 minutes. When the dough has risen for the second time, place it on a floured surface and divide into 2 equal parts. Using your fingers or palm heel mash one piece to form a large circle. Starting from the center of the circle, fold over it toward yourself by quarter, holding together the edges of each side to form a cylinder.
Artificial vitamins when consumed in large quantities may be harmful but in any case, in our time, a huge number of different types of vitamin complexes. Of course, not everyone has to be trusted, since not all of these types of supplements contain what it says, there are many fakes, etc. By the way one of the proven vitamin complexes, which is really useful, it is designed to compensate for vitamin needs of the body. All substances balanced accurately based on the daily requirement. Overall this is a really good vitamin supplement. In sports, in particular in the bodybuilding, fitness and a variety of other sports, the intake of vitamins, particularly in the spring, plays a crucial role, because many in the sport, do not just want a moderate movement that called for the smooth way, many people want results, and good results, and this is an application for general ability of the organism. And if the general physical condition of the body is excellent, even in the sport will be the same. But as they say, to get something, it is necessary that you invest, out of nothing, nothing and never will. So of course, for the good physical condition of his body, always have to do something, one way is a qualitative intake of vitamins, which will always be a good help for the general physical condition and overall health.
Usually, two monks hold a large square glass, behind which the ball. The third monk meters is a 5-minute away from the glass on the other side of the ball, that is, the monk performing this technique and the ball separates a good distance and a large glass. So, a student of Shaolin mind focuses and commits Qigong - the mountains jerk-punch in the direction of the ball, thus concentrating the energy of chi in your hand. At the same moment, then stir-strike monk, the ball breaks the glass, as if struck by what a force for mainstream science is an amazing fact, but for a system of Qigong - it's everyday reality, proving the theory that the energy of chi-embracing and that it has no barriers and obstacles. This means that qi exists at the atomic and molecular level, when viewed from a scientific point of view. Of course, it is striking, but it turns out that the chi - really fundamental energy of our planet, the action and the use of which has to be understood and studied. Qigong - both ancient art and modern science. Since time immemorial, people of different cultures, living in different countries, using cosmic energy. It opened the way to health, increase vitality, development of consciousness with the art of traditional energy with the most fully manifested in the great cultures of the ancient civilizations of Greece, Egypt, India and China.
Most of the exercises in these schools were created by qigong masters who were both masters of martial arts. Military Qigong aims to strengthen health and improve the level of combat proficiency. The most well known area of combat Qigong "Iron Shirt" connect the breathing and static exercises can form after many years of training and muscular system Iron Shirt achieve its "hardness" of the acquired muscles in static exhale. Weak piercing with a knife cannot pass through the tense muscles of a well-trained soldier hence the name "Iron Shirt". But of course the main principle of Qigong training in combat, as well as in any of its forms, is the formation and strengthening of energy flow of qi in the physical body. Shaolin Monks reached in this process is truly phenomenal for Western science results that scientists cannot simply be explained, referring to the mysticism or magic tricks. But, this is because there is no official science to explain these facts. But it certainly does not mean that it does not exist in nature, because science said so. Our science is still much to not know and cannot explain. In the meantime, the best students of Shaolin willingly share their secrets. In our time, in the Shaolin monastery, the monks even demonstrate martial arts qigong. For example, one of the most striking manifestations of this energy in a stunt shows with an ordinary balloon.
For the recipe ingredients for healthy diet are:-
• Mushrooms - 500 g
• Onion - 4 heads
• Parsley - 1 bunch
• Butter - 100g
• Flour - 50-70 g
• White table wine - 250 ml
• Salt and pepper to taste
Prepared fish cut into slices, season with salt and pepper. Clean the mushrooms, chop, chop onion, and finely chop the parsley. Simmer mushrooms with onion and herbs, covered over low heat. For 5 minutes until cooked in a pan, add the dried fat-free flour and grape wine.
The system of Qigong
Yin-Yang Qigong - the ancient Chinese art of energy for the general health, inner spiritual strength and training the mind is the vital energy of all, due to which there is the very life on this planet. The word qigong is formed merger of two Chinese characters. It is believed that any action of ours is due to the energy of qi, when we exercise, when we eat, laugh, and even at the time of the disease, when our body disease, it still occurs under the action of qi energy. By the way, in Chinese medicine, the main role is no medicine in the form of antibiotics and various drugs, such as in Western medicine, namely the chi energy as the main source of healing the body. The system of Qigong, just there to improve and develop this energy but of course, qigong is not the only way to develop chi energy and get as much out of the air - when breathing, and with food - with food.

A question of identity for seniors
Computer age crime warning
SALISBURY — Those thinking about committing acts of identity theft on seniors in the Northwest Corner may want to think twice now that many of them are prepared to deal with the issue.

Triad is a cooperative effort by senior groups and law enforcement agencies to address seniors' safety needs and reduce their susceptibility to crime.
