GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Tourism ranks high on the list of Grand Valley moneymakers. And to better promote positive economic growth, the Grand Junction Visitor and Convention Bureau (GJVCB) is thinking big. An intensified marketing push now makes sense because, according GJVCB Division Manager Barbara Bowman, "tourism has really turned a corner (for 2013) in the region. ... Consumer confidence has come around and the intent to travel is there."Bowman recently returned from three, back-to-back tourism trade shows, and she said the "positive demeanors of tour companies are a real indication. They're looking at new ideas and at new tour itineraries.""We see new kinds of business coming into the valley," she added. "Hoteliers are (also) telling us spring occupancy is looking good."So, to seize its share of Colorado's ever-booming visitor segment, the Grand Valley's tourism experts are looking outside the box with calculated marketing risks. This year, the VCB staff aims to explore new digital territory with a revised strategy focused mostly on mobile and web marketing. First-time events, along with staple favorites, also aim to attract bigger groups and fill more hotel beds. Plus, the VCB wants visitors to know the area is far more than just "wine country," with better promotion of all the "-ings," like cycling, hiking, rafting, golfing, you name it."It's an extension of the wine country lifestyle," Bowman said.
To reach more prospective travelers from around the globe, spokeswoman Mistalynn Meyeraan said the VCB is currently restructuring its advertising budget with a new digital-heavy strategy."We're going less traditional," Meyeraan said, with an expanded focus on the VCB's web and mobile presence and online ads, rather than print and billboards.Creating new content through videos, audio and storytelling techniques will "tell the story of wine country," she added. "Wine is what makes (the Grand Valley) unique. ... We want to show the big picture, show them our lifestyle."Meyeraan also said that an e-Book created in 2012, "23 ideas to bring wine country into your life", will be formatted for other avenues of distribution, including eReaders beyond the iPad and on the VCB website. That said, not all print opportunities are dead. Placement will simply be more calculated.For instance, a CBS billboard near David Letterman's television studio on 42nd Street in New York City is currently advertising the Grand Valley's Wine Country through April 14. The VCB was able to buy the billboard space for a huge discount."They pulled a video game ad due to violent content," Meyeraan said. "We got it for $17,000, and we split the cost with the Grand Junction Economic Partnership."That billboard space typically goes for approximately $105,000.Besides the price, "the attraction is the high volume of traffic that passes by it each day," Meyeraan said. "These are business men and women, tourists visiting New York, locals and a large number of media outlets based in New York City. It is a one-time opportunity to be visible in an area that would typically be unattainable for Grand Junction."
Big groups, like the returning Tour of the Moon Cycling Classic through the Colorado National Monument Oct. 6, are important to the Grand Valley's travel economy as well. And to attract more large tour companies through Grand Junction, the VCB aims to support lots of events throughout the warmer, traveler-friendly months.For instance, there will be a new bike event Labor Day weekend on Main Street downtown - the "Grand Junction Off-Road Endurance Mountain Bike Event and Concert" - along with another the same long weekend, the "Western Colorado Classic Auto Event."The mountain bike event will host "a sanctioned pro race with 600 riders expected in its first year," Bowman said. Plus, the family friendly bike festival will be centrally located downtown adjacent to Two Rivers Convention Center, with an expo and music open to everyone."We're trying to fill in shoulder season times, weekends that need more heads and beds," she added.Another brand-new bike race, called Rumble at 18 Road, is set for April 13-14 in Fruita. It's a USA Cycling Nationals Qualifier Cross Country and Short Track Mountain Bike Race with a 450-athlete cap. According to the VCB website, the top 10 riders in each class and category will be qualified to compete in the USA Cycling 2013 Mountain Biking National Championships. Classic events - like WineFest in Palisade, Tour of the Vineyards, Country and Rock Jams, the Fruita Fat Tire Festival, and more - are on the VCB's very full calendar, too. Currently, there are 79 special events planned between April 1 through Oct. 31, and more will definitely be added."We look at new event submissions or seek more info on a daily basis," Meyeraan said.

Today marks the expansion of anonymous liquidity into Spain as UBS Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) establishes itself on the Spanish equity markets.
Dark liquidity is experiencing an increase in popularity within high frequency trading circles at the moment, particularly among those utilizing off-exchange trading facilities.
In mid-June this year, TMX Atrium added the UBS MTF to its community for very similar reasons, also with a view toward accommodating European client demand for dark liquidity.
At this stage, it is not certain as to whether the demand for such anonymity in Europe is related to the forthcoming MiFID adaptation of the rulings on trade reporting set out in the Dodd-Frank Act in the US, or whether it arises from traders wishing to protect their existing environment due to concern over potential rulings by regulators in Europe concerning mandatory delays in trade executions aimed at dispelling what the regulators view as disruptive practice by high frequency algorithmic traders, as in the case of German regulator BaFIN.

Now, by "cough-cough-getalife", do you mean "cough-getalife-cough"? Because [coughs twice] "get a life" isn't funny, but [cough] "Get a life" [cough]. Now that's funny.When someone needs some... uh... (coughHELPcough) help coming up with an, er... what's the word... (coughIDEAcough) an idea, someone else may be particularly unsubtle about giving the answer. Or an insult or snide comment is made, but is not intended to be heard by someone standing nearby (coughJACKASScough). Hey, I heard that! Anyway, other things that can be hidden between coughs or sneezes are names, as in, "I'm not going to name names but there's one person in this group who's a real pain coughALICEcough," or even entire sentences. Occasionally subverted by repeating the hidden words for clarification, implying the insult was garbled by a genuine cough and the cougher really just has no respect for the person in question. Someone who is being especially snarky may just say "cough" instead of actually coughing. Sometimes the cough doesn't hide any words, but indicates complete disbelief at what the cougher is hearing. Rarely related to the Incurable Cough of Death.

What is an Enabling Environment for Civic Engagement?
A set of conditions - often inter-related - that impact on the capacity of citizens and civil society organizations to engage in development processes in a sustained and effective manner, whether at the policy, program or project level. They include legal, regulatory and policy frameworks, and political, socio-cultural and economic factors. There are institutional factors within civil society that should be considered in thinking about this environment.
Why is an enabling environment for civic engagement important?
It is increasingly being recognized that civil society is an important agent of development alongside the market and the state. Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) are important actors in building necessary social consensus for economic reforms and long term development, in promoting effective governance by fostering transparency and accountability of public institutions, and in efforts to fight inequality and exclusion. CSOs also have an increasingly critical role in the direct delivery of social and economic services, and in improving natural resource management and environmental protection through collective action.
How can enabling environments for civic engagement be promoted?
The Participation and Civic Engagement (PCE) group, World Bank has developed and piloted tools that feed into upstream analytical work which seeks to deepen the understanding of constraints and opportunities to effective civic engagement at the country level. The analysis is designed to (a) provide a conceptual and methodological framework for assessing the range of conditions impacting civic engagement; and (b) to guide Bank country teams in identifying priorities and developing strategies for promoting effective civic engagement.

Best concept I've seen since the Reagan years. Did good, Fur.+6
Only way a welfare grifter gets on a trampoline is if there's a gold ring on the ceiling to grab.+6
@ scribble – Well there is, but some just don't want to make the effort and others feel that gold that isn't handed to them is fool's gold.+5
Brown? Hmmmm, makes sense, I guess. The guy on the couch needs a crack pipe/Colt.45 4o ounce, and a TV with Jerry Springer, and a couple of skanky hoes hanging out on the couch w/ him.+3
the welfare slugs wouldn't understand; i live next door to a clan of them who have a big trampoline in their yard that their fat/starving welfare kids bounce on.+4
@Boobie – You're right. I stand corrected.+2
Net? More lie a hammock.+4
The stupid libs reading this probably are thinking "yeah we should get free trampolines too, great idea"!+2
Screw the trampoline. It should be a nagging, bitching, scold of a Jewish Mother, reminding you every fifteen minutes that Lois Goldblum's boy is in his second year of law school, the least you could do is pick up your slim Jim wrappers and call your uncle Irving about that warehouse job he told you about last week.+8
It is unfair that some people should have more than others. It is only right that the federal government should take the excess money from the greedy people and give it to the downtrodden. I for one will be sending extra money to the IRS for this purpose.+2
Or a ladder, because true poverty is a pit.+4
Should be a trap door that lands them in an employment office.

The ADP3654 high current and dual high speed driver is capable of driving two independent N-channel power MOSFETs. The driver uses the industry-standard footprint but adds high speed switching performance.
The wide input voltage range allows the driver to be compatible with both analog and digital PWM controllers.
Digital power controllers are powered from a low voltage supply, and the driver is powered from a higher voltage supply. The ADP3654 driver adds UVLO and hysteresis functions, allowing safe startup and shutdown of the higher voltage supply when used with low voltage digital controllers.
The driver is available in thermally enhanced SOIC_N_EP and MINI_SO_EP packaging to maximize high frequency and current switching in a small printed circuit board (PCB) area.

If you are going to penetrate, you better make sure that everybody penetrates and that you guess right about where to penetrate a lot. I don't think Malzahn is some kind of genius, but he certainly understands how to identify a weakness on defense and create numbers to attack it. He is also very adept at using misdirection to get defenders to take them selves out of the play.
I think you probably do well to wall off their OL IF you have the personnel to do it. I think we would have fared much better with Cody or Jesse Williams in the middle and able to hold both A gaps. Then the dive is not nearly as successful, and everything in their offense is predicated on the success of the dive. Kind of like the fullback dive out of the wishbone. If you can stop that with a "normal" personnel group it gives you many more players to chase down the other two options.
As I said earlier, you also need a couple big, physical CBs that you can simply turn loose in man coverage, leaving 8-9 defenders otherwise.
My $0.02, which is probably not worth that.

One of the keys to rural prosperity is for rural communities to come together on a regional basis
to develop a plan for building a stronger economy. USDA is helping to build a more prosperous rural America by providing financial support and technical assistance to boost locally led regional economic development efforts across the Nation.
USDA in cooperation with the State's Regional Commissions are supporting rural communities that are working together on a multi-county/regional basis, with a focus on the development and implementation of ground-level regional economic development plans. Meetings are planned throughout the State, for example, on November 2, 2012 a meeting sponsored by the Southwest Georgia Regional Commission in Camilla, (Mitchell County) will include cities and counties from Baker, Calhoun, Colquitt, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Grady, Lee, Miller, Mitchell, Seminole, Terrell, Thomas and Worth Counties.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has an active portfolio of more than $172 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.

'Saturday Night Live' Review: "Melissa McCarthy"
Melissa McCarthy returns for a second time to host 'SNL,' but can she give us a better episode than her so-so first outing? Read on to find out!
Melissa McCarthy returns for a second time to host 'SNL,' but can she give us a better episode than her so-so first outing? Read on to find out!
This past weekend 'Saturday Night Live' chose to open its show a little differently as a way to recognize the tragedy in Newton, CT and it couldn't have been more heart-warming.
Andy Samberg and Kristen Wiig were the main reason I allowed 'Saturday Night Live' to take up precious space on my DVR, and now they are both gone from the show. Samberg confirmed the rumor on Friday, but he also managed to give us a little hope, hinting that he may not be entirely done with 'SNL'.
Kristen Wiig has been a part of the 'Saturday Night Live' family for 7 years and is by far one of the most talented members to ever grace that stage. As 'SNL' wrapped there 37th season Saturday night with host Mick Jagger, Kristen Wiig wrapped her time as a regular on the sketch comedy show.
'Saturday Night Live' producer Lorne Michaels has reportedly asked Mitt Romney to host an episode of the live sketch comedy show. There is no official word yet, but apparently Romney is considering the offer.
Whitney Houston's death came as a huge shock to everyone, including the folks at 'Saturday Night Live.' With such little time after the announcement on Saturday to pay tribute to the legendary artist, NBC was still able to set a side a moment of silence to remember Houston and all her contributions.
Tim Tebow has become the most talked about athlete lately. Here is a great skit done by the professionals at Saturday Night Live.
When television staple 'Saturday Night Live' returns on September 24 for its 37th season, it'll have a familiar host — actor Alec Baldwin.
It will be the record-setting sixteenth time the '30 Rock' star, 53, has hosted the NBC late-night sketch comedy show, breaking a tie with another show stalwart, Steve Martin. Baldwin's first appearance on 'SNL' was April 21, 1990.
They cleaned up at the last Grammys, have sold more than three million copies of their latest record, and are gearing up to release one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year. What's next for Lady Antebellum?
Performing on the next season of 'Saturday Night Live,' for starters.

Since this blog has effectively been in a coma for the last nine months, I've decided to put it out of its misery - and will be shutting it down once I've ported all the (interesting) content over to its successor.
In its place, Kinoblog was launched last night, and promises to be a far more wide-ranging (and frequently-updated) blog tracking my progress through a vast range of Central and Eastern European cinema. It's available here - and there's a lot more to come.

I got all the way to the gym only to find out that the schedule on the website is wrong. ugh. I had an incredibly busy weekend, with a visit to see my mom and daughter, drove back up and spent some quality time with dh. My closest work friend got a promotion so I will be Talking to her a lot less. I'm sort of sad, but at the same time I am very happy for her new adventure. My husband put a bug in my ear this weekend, agreeing to move closer to where my mother lives, and also where my daughter goes to school, if we can both find jobs there.He "says "that he could force his son to go to school there, as well. I do not think that is the best Situation with my stepson, however, it would be the best situation for my mom. There would be a lot of "hoops "for us to get through, but it is possible. However, one step at a time. I have work today, and I wish I had yoga tonight, but perhaps I will just try to swim some laps, although I fear my shoulder will act up again. What are you all up to?

If the Father begat the Son, he that was begotten had a beginning of existence: and from this it is evident, that there was a time when the Son was not. It therefore necessarily follows, that he had his substance from nothing.Arius
To be conscious that we are perceiving or thinking is to be conscious of our own existence.Aristotle
Everyone, who is born, has to die and once dead he is as good as having not come into existence.Ali bin Abu-Talib
Generalities would have been soon forgotten. But the story that had its roots in everyday human existence and need, lives and will live forever. It condensed the philosophy of Christianity into half a dozen unforgettable paragraphs. The parable of the Good Samaritan is the greatest advertisement of all times.Bruce Fairchild Barton
A good American makes propaganda for whatever existence has forced him to become.Saul Bellow
Suitable is the happiness when there is whole existence, and you don't have whole existence more than marriage.Judah Loew ben Bezalel
As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didnt make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.Saul Bellow
Up to now you have believed in the existence of tyrants. Well, you were mistaken. There are only slaves. Where none obeys, none commands.Anselme Bellegarrigue
A sense of utter lonelinessloneliness inevitable, crushing, eternal, the loneliness of existence, encompassed by the infinite void of unconsciousnessenfolded him as a pall. Life lay like an incubus on his bosom. He shuddered at the thought that death might overlook him, and deny him its refuge.Edward Bellamy
If your object is to secure liberty, you must learn to do without authority and compulsion. If you intend to live in peace and harmony with your fellow-men, you and they should cultivate brotherhood and respect for each other. If you want to work together with them for your mutual benefit, you must practice cooperation. The social revolution means much more than the reorganization of conditions only: it means the establishment of new human values and social relationships, a changed attitude of man to man, as of one free and independent to his equal; it means a different spirit in individual and collective life, and that spirit cannot be born overnight. It is a spirit to be cultivated, to be nurtured and reared, as the most delicate flower it is, for indeed it is the flower of a new and beautiful existence.Alexander Berkman
That which has no existence cannot be destroyed that which cannot be destroyed cannot require anything to preserve it from destruction. Natural rights is simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights, rhetorical nonsense nonsense upon stilts. But this rhetorical nonsense ends in the old strain of mischievous nonsense for immediately a list of these pretended natural rights is given, and those are so expressed as to present to view legal rights. And of these rights, whatever they are, there is not, it seems, any one of which any government can, upon any occasion whatever, abrogate the smallest particle.Jeremy Bentham
What proofs other than negative have we that the animal is without a surviving, if not immortal, soul? On strictly scientific grounds we can adduce as many arguments pro as contra. To express it clearer, neither man nor animal can offer either proof or disproof of the survival of their souls after death. And from the point of view of scientific experience, it is impossible to bring that which has no objective existence under the cognizance of any exact law of science.Helena Petrovna Hahn
Commitment is the equivalent of faith when the living God has been supplanted by self-provided values. It is Pascals wager, no longer on Gods existence but on ones capacity to believe in oneself and the goals one has set for oneself.Allan David Bloom
Marx denied the existence of God but turned over all His functions to History, which is inevitably directed to a goal fulfilling of man and which takes the place of Providence. One might as well be a Christian if one is so naive.Allan David Bloom
The true aristocracy and the true proletariat of the world are both in understanding with tragedy. To them it is the fundamental principle of God, and the key, the minor key, to existence. They differ in this way from the bourgeoisie of all classes, who deny tragedy, who will not tolerate it, and to whom the word tragedy means in itself unpleasantness.Karen von Blixen-Finecke
The university made a distinction between what is important and not important. It protected the tradition, not because tradition is tradition but because tradition provides models of discussion on a uniquely high level. It contained marvels and made possible friendships consisting in shared experiences of those marvels. Most of all there was the presence of some authentically great thinkers who gave living proof of the existence of the theoretical life and whose motives could not easily be reduced to any of the baser ones people delight in thinking universal.Allan David Bloom
Available energy is the main object at stake in the struggle for existence and the evolution of the world.Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann
There are people who just don't believe in the existence of a god. I don't know why because clearly, there is strong evidence that there's a god. But I believe that you serve all the people, not just those who profess to have faith but those with little or no faith. That's how you convert them.Donna Brazile
My experiences with science led me to God. They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun?Wernher von Braun
Nature does not know extinction; all it knows is transformation. Everything science has taught me, and continues to teach me, strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death.Wernher von Braun
You see, I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in anything. Objects don't exist for me except in so far as a rapport exists between them or between them and myself. When one attains this harmony, one reaches a sort of intellectual non-existence what I can only describe as a sense of peace, which makes everything possible and right. Life then becomes a perpetual revelation. That is true poetry.Georges Braque
The minotaur more than justifies the existence of the labyrinth.Jorge Luis Borges
Tarzan of the Apes lived on in his wild, jungle existence with little change for several years, only that he grew stronger and wiser, and learned from his books more and more of the strange worlds which lay somewhere outside his primeval forest.Edgar Rice Burroughs

Standing Committee on the Use of Public Health Data in FSIS Food Safety Programs
A standing Committee for the Review of Food Safety and Defense Risk Assessments, Analyses and Data (working title Committee on the Use of Public Health Data in FSIS Food Safety Programs) will be formed to identify emerging issues related to risk-based food inspection and the work of USDA's FSIS that may be addressed by NRC and IOM studies. Studies will be undertaken by separately appointed ad hoc committees with the necessary expertise, to review specific data, risk assessments, vulnerability assessments, algorithms for using data to support risk-based food inspection, and other information of concern to FSIS. The ad hoc committees will prepare consensus reports that include the evaluation of the materials reviewed and detailed findings and recommendations.
The full standing committee will meet twice each year to review the performance of past studies; be briefed by agency liaisons about prospective study needs; identify emerging issues that the agency might wish to have addressed in a study; be briefed on new scientific methods or approaches relative to risk assessments or other issues of interest; and, discuss areas of expertise that should be added to or dropped from the standing committee. During the remainder of the year, the committee will operate by conference calls and email correspondence to discuss new studies, recommend the appropriate composition of study subcommittees, and conduct other business.

Friday, October 24, 2014
A United Nations rights watchdog on Thursday pressed Hong Kong to enact democratic reforms, saying moves so far fell short of what was needed.
Thursday, October 23, 2014
The powerful Youth League of China's ruling Communist party has opened a poll on possible sanctions against Hong Kong celebrities who support the city's pro-democracy demonstrators — including boycotts, bans and Internet censorship.
Hong Kong student leaders said Wednesday they may shun further talks with the government, accusing it of failing to make any meaningful offers to end weeks of mass pro-democracy protests and roadblocks.
Wednesday, October 22, 2014
Hong Kong authorities and pro-democracy protesters Tuesday held their first talks aimed at ending weeks of rallies that have paralyzed parts of the city, after its leader ruled out major reforms.
Tuesday, October 21, 2014
Hong Kong pro-democracy leaders Monday angrily rejected claims by the city's chief executive that "external forces" are orchestrating their mass rallies, ahead of talks intended to end three weeks of political stalemate.
Monday, October 20, 2014
Hong Kong's leader has claimed that "external forces" are participating in student-led pro-democracy protests that have occupied parts of this financial capital for more than three weeks, but provided no evidence to back his accusation.
Pro-democracy protesters on Sunday accused police of using excessive force against them after violent clashes in Hong Kong, as a senior politician said weeks of rallies have reached a "critical moment."
Sunday, October 19, 2014
Hong Kong's embattled government said it will open talks with student demonstrators Tuesday, after three nights of violent clashes between police and protesters who have paralyzed parts of the city with mass pro-democracy rallies.
Saturday, October 18, 2014
Hong Kong riot police battled with thousands of pro-democracy protesters for control of the city's streets Saturday, using pepper spray and batons to hold back defiant activists who returned to a protest zone that officers had partially cleared.

I'LL ADMIT IT: I was scared to swim across San Francisco Bay.
Even though I'd done many triathlons over the years, the swim that starts off the legendary Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon is unlike any other in the sport: You leap into the water from a packed and heaving ferryboat near the old island prison, then swim toward the city through bone-chilling 50-something-degree water being sucked out beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. There aren't really supposed to be great whites in the Bay, but, well, it only takes one, right? The fear: It's why Alcatraz was made into a federal pen back in 1934.
I jumped in anyway. After 15 minutes of panicked freestyle, I took a break to tread water and catch my breath. Ahead of me was the San Francisco skyline—the skyscrapers, the hills, Fisherman's Wharf. I snuck a peek over my shoulder at the Rock itself. I was in a splashing column of 1,800 swimmers, all of us being pushed closer to shore by a stiff tide—making the swim easier than I'd expected—and I realized that not only was I done freaking out, I was having an absolute blast.
That's the thing with triathlons: The event itself always ends up being so much more fun (and doable) than you expect. Blame the sport's first big-time race, the 31-year-old Ironman, for the enduring perception that triathlons are all about agony. These days, races come in many flavors, from the relatively easy "sprint distance" events (half-mile swim, 12-mile bike, three-mile run) to intermediate events like Alcatraz (the 1.5-mile swim is followed by an 18-mile ride and a hilly eight-mile run)—all involving much less agony than the 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile ride, and 26.2-mile run of an Ironman. And those shorter events have helped spur explosive growth in the sport. Last year, more than 1.2 million people entered a road triathlon—about 50 percent more than in 2007—and there are almost twice as many triathlons around the country now (1,891) than there were in 2005.
If you're thinking of joining the club, allow me to make a bold suggestion: Do Escape from Alcatraz first. This is not as crazy as it sounds. Sure, Alcatraz is tough on beginners and pros alike. At the end of the swim, you run almost a mile to warm your body, so you're not too hypothermic to ride a bike, and the real running leg includes an are-you-kidding-me grind up the infamous Sand Ladder, 200 wooden beams climbing up from the beach. But if you put in the time to prepare, you're going to find yourself enjoying one of the most exciting and scenic triathlons anywhere.
"The Escape from Alcatraz is incredibly fun," says Hunter Kemper, three-time Olympian and two-time winner at Alcatraz. "It's impossible to describe the feeling of jumping off that boat. There's nothing cooler for a first-timer."
And, of course, there are the fantastic fitness benefits that come with triathlon training. The workouts reduce the chance of getting injured (or burned out) by distributing the load across three sports—all highly rewarding in their own right—and the event virtually demands building a fatigue-proof core that translates to more power in just about any other activity.
As I floated in the Bay, I took in one more 360-degree view, then put my head down and started stroking, this time calmly and with more confidence. I had a lot of work ahead—a hilly ride and a scenic, if grueling, run—and I was going to enjoy every minute of it.
"Escape from Alcatraz is the most unique race in the world," Kemper says. "You won't be disappointed."
I'll second that.

How Do I Volunteer to Help the Philippines After Haiyan?
Rachael Swanson Mizuno is Director of Volunteer and Community Partnerships at the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.
After an emergency, we typically see an influx of people wanting to join UNICEF and put their muscle where their money has already gone. I'm always so proud that our work organizing volunteers stands in support of staff like Marissa Aroy and that you can always find volunteer stories of compassion and giving in times of emergency.
Here are a few ways you can help UNICEF today as we collectively respond to the tremendous need in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan:
1. Donate to UNICEF's relief and rebuilding efforts. Support UNICEF's work in the Philippines: $10, $20, $50 or any amount you can give will help children in the Philippines rebuild their lives.
2. Talk to the children in your lives about the disaster. Start a conversation about what they have heard and seen about the emergency. Help them feel personally safe and encourage them to take constructive action in response to the relief and recovery efforts, if they feel inclined.
3. Mobilize a school or community response. Brainstorm ways that you can mobilize your networks to raise funds and awareness for the Philippines. Be sure your efforts are a rich learning experience and appropriate for UNICEF.
4. Host a fundraiser utilizing our online tools. Register your event on our map of activities around the country and create an online fundraising page today.
5. Register as a UNICEF Volunteer. The UNICEF Action Center is a plethora of ideas and resources.
6. Keep us posted! Send us your photos, ideas, and actions on the UNICEF Action Center or the UNICEF USA Facebook page. We'll be looking out for them!
Lastly, I just want to thank all of the thousands of volunteers around the country who have responded thus far. We can't thank you enough for your creativity, ingenuity and perseverance. Let's get to work!

Thanks for the tips Rachael!
You are most welcome, Tara. I hope they are useful to you; we need all the help we can get!
I am a physician based on Honolulu and would like to be part of your medical missions to the Yolanda-stricken areas in Visayas.
I just donated $500. to UnicefUSA for help in the Phillipines. Please give me some assurance that my donation will go to the Phillipine relief effort and not to the salaries of the Unicef Administration Staff. The Ad. Staff is necessary and they deserve compensation, but please make an exception in this case.

Seanad Éireann - Volume 124 - 16 May, 1990
Business of Seanad.
An Cathaoirleach An Cathaoirleach
An Cathaoirleach: I have notice from Senator Shane Ross that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Finance to conduct a proper and orderly market in the Irish Government stocks which ensures that they are offered for sale to the public.
I also received notice from Senator Pól Ó Foighil of the following matter:
That the Minister for Health takes note of the complete lack of a proper service for the sufferers of Alzheimer's Disease and the lack of planning and commitment from the health boards for carers and respite programme.
I also received notice from Senator Joe Costello of the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education to urgently provide permanent accommodation and proper facilities for the pupils of St. Aidan's Christian Brothers Secondary School, Whitehall, Dublin 9, to replace the present totally inadequate prefabricated structure which has been in existence for over 20 years.
I regard the matters raised by Senators [1782] Ross, Ó Foighil and Costello as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment. I have selected the matter raised by Senator Ross and it will be taken at the conclusion of business. Senators Ó Foighil and Costello may give notice on another day of the matters they wish to raise.

State law requires that all water service connections be metered by January 2017. To meet that requirement, the City must install meters and convert billing for 15,000 single-family residential water customers beginning June 1, 2012 and working into 2017.
Meters will be installed according to the schedule below developed by staff and approved by City Council. Staff analyzed meter reading routes, billing cycles, and installation processes to develop a cost-effective and efficient schedule for both the water utility and customers.
Water rates are currently set through 2016. Water, sewer and stormwater rate studies were completed in 2012 to inform the City Council's decision on the rate structure for all water customers.
Under the current rate structure, single-family residential sewer rates are flat rate and not based on metered water usage.
Utility billing includes water, sewer, stormwater, and the Lake Whatcom surcharge.
For questions about metering, email email@example.com or call 778-7700.

The Fifth Beatle? Yeah, yeah, yeah, thats what everyone
seems to remember. But years before, Murray was hosting shows with Dean
Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr., before there was even a Rat Pack; raising
money for refugees, during the Hungarian uprising in the mid-50s, as
the head of the National Council of Disc Jockeys; and staging rock n
roll shows with the most integrated audiences this side of a civil rights
rally. He also
turned an airplane hangar at Roosevelt Field the same one used by Lindbergh on his trans-Atlantic flight to Paris into the worlds first
multi-media discotheque... a year before the Fillmore Auditorium opened

@Kraus4ever With not even half the power that Pav had. Not to mention in
the beggining he could only do like one vowel sound in the high C, While
pav could always do the 5 italian vowels. Besides, Krauss was a light
tenor, little voice, pav was a lyric one, warmer, much bigger voice.

Pavarotti adored Lanza, but he loved di Stefano much more and thought
Bjorling was techincally the best singer. There were many tenors superior
to Lanza. There were many superior to Pavarotti and Kraus too.

If I share that Pavarotti was a tenor very popular, but I think in my

which he could achieve a unique, and for me was one of the best versions Ah

No, Kraus completely changes the words on his high notes. It's far worse to
substitute jibberish into the singing than send a vowel the wrong way.
Listen to Pavarotti's high notes and compare, he doesn't change any words.

I too feel that Lanza was second to none purely speaking of raw vocal
talent. But in purely operatic terms, there certainly were many tenors
superior to Lanza, yes. I know Pav loved him a lot, don't really know much
about his views on other tenors though except for general praise. And I
think he said he wanted most to be compared to Bjorling (as far as career)
or something like that.

Thinking of that, and correct me if I am wrong, I have never heard a bad or
negative comment made by Luciano towards any of his colleagues -or even his
direct rivals. That speaks volumes of his professionalism and heart.
Pavarotti was a great one, inside and outside the theatre. No question
about that.

This, my friends, is why Pavarotti is not in the category of tenors, but
rather above them all in a place I like to call "Beasts". or rather
"Beast". This blows my mind everytime I hear it. JESUS WHAT A VOICE

For 15 seconds in March 2008, Diane Handley had one of the biggest scares of her life when her 1-year-old granddaughter, Aireanna, began choking on a piece of a paper napkin. Using skills learned in a St. Joseph's Children's Hospital's CPR/first aid class, Diane reacted immediately and was able to effectively dislodge the paper from her granddaughter's mouth.
According to Diane, it was the thoroughness of the class instructor and the opportunity to practice the life-saving techniques on a CPR doll that helped her commit the techniques to memory.
During St. Joseph's Children's Hospital's First Aid course, participants learn how to handle common childhood emergencies and prevent unintentional injuries. Topics such as bleeding, shock, burns, poisoning, head and spine injury, bone, joint and muscle injury and more are covered in the four-hour class.
Participants of the St. Joseph's Children's Hospital's CPR course learn how to perform lifesaving CPR and choking rescue techniques on infants, children and adults according to American Heart Association guidelines.
Welcoming a newborn into your family can be an amazing and exciting time. And, there is a lot to learn as well. For moms learning to breastfeed their babies, Morton Plant Mease offers a free Breastfeeding Help Line and free breastfeeding support groups.
Led by one of our experienced lactation consultants, the support groups are for mom and baby and offer a chance to meet with other nursing mothers. In addition, to breastfeeding help and support, topics such as diapers, laundry, and lack of sleep are sure to come up. It's a great place for moms to share questions and to know that other women are having a similar experience. For more information on all services offered to new mothers, contact the Breastfeeding Help Line at:
When driving home from school on Sept. 26, 2007, 17-year-old Chelsea Organ witnessed a serious accident. While other vehicles only slowed down to look, she immediately stopped to see if she could help the injured motorist. She quickly created a tourniquet with her own clothes to try and stop the severe bleeding and administered CPR.
When she realized the injured man was not going to survive, she resolved to stay by his side. In a time of true crisis, Chelsea offered comfort to a dying stranger, and with courage and grace, knowledge to his family that at the end of his life he was not alone.
Chelsea is one of many kids in the Tampa Bay area acknowledged for their acts of heroism through the Kids are Heroes program. Since 1996, St. Joseph's Children's Hospital has recognized nearly 900 children between the ages 5 and 18 from Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk counties who have performed heroic deeds, or displayed acts of selflessness and demonstrated good citizenship during the past year.
The young winners are selected by a panel of judges made up of current and past pediatric patients of St. Joseph's Children's Hospital, and players from the Tampa Bay Lightning participate in as campaign spokes-champions. And to congratulate our heroes, we hold a special ceremony for all of the nominees, winners and their families at the end of the year.
St. Joseph's Children's Hospital's Mobile Medical Clinic provides free immunizations, well-child visits and developmental screenings to children in underserved areas throughout Tampa. The medical clinic on wheels travels once a month to four Hillsborough County Family Resource and Support Centers and makes frequent visits to the Good Samaritan Mission in Wimauma and the San Jose Mission in Dover.
While on the bus, Child Advocates provide families with injury prevention education and distribute various safety items, including bike helmets, cabinet locks and door knob covers. They also distribute applications for Medicaid or Florida Kid Care to families without insurance, and follow up to see if they are making their way through the system in an effort to make sure the children end up with their own pediatrician and a medical home.
One of the benefits to living in Florida is enjoying the year 'round sunshine. Unfortunately, time in the sun can be dangerous. More than one million new skin cancer detections are expected in the United States this year. Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer, causing the most deaths. Since 1996, Morton Plant Mease has participated in Melanoma Monday, a nationwide campaign to raise public awareness of skin cancer and to encourage early detection through regular screenings. Participants receive a free skin exam from expert cancer specialists and receive information on sun safety and warning signs of melanoma.
Of the 300 community members who took part in the most recent screening, twelve were suspected of having melanoma, with another 30 people showing signs of other forms of skin cancer.
Annual physical examinations are recommended for everyone, even healthy people. As we progress in years, it's also a good idea to have a memory check. The Morton Plant Hospital's Madonna Ptak Center for Alzheimer's and Memory Loss conducts free monthly memory screenings at various locations in Pinellas and Pasco counties. The evaluation helps determine whether a person may have stages of dementia. If there are signs of significant memory loss, the participant is encouraged to see a primary care physician for further assessment.
In 2008, there were 254 people who participated in the memory screenings and were given resources for help to increase and maintain memory function, and referrals to support groups. The free memory screenings have an estimated value to the community of $7,822.
Initially, 13-year-old Brianna Dolly wasn't thrilled when her mother suggested she take a Safe Sitter class at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital. But since she occasionally watched her three younger brothers, the teenager agreed and enjoyed the class almost immediately.
"The instructor really took the time to explain everything and answered everyone's questions without making us feel silly for asking them," said Brianna.
Months later, Brianna had the opportunity to put the skills she learned to good use when her 7-month-old brother began choking while playing on the floor with some of his toys.
"I heard a weird noise and I noticed his face was red and he looked panicked," she said. "I picked him up and quickly turned him over and did several back blows. Eventually he began to cry and then threw up the item he was choking on."
Brianna's quick thinking and ability to stay calm helped to save her brother's life.
Safe Sitter is a medically accurate babysitting training program designed for young adolescents. The full-day class provides the basic information every good babysitter should know, including how to handle minor to life-threatening situations, how to rescue a choking infant or child, how to communicate with Emergency Medical Services, accident and behavior management, how to entertain kids and other babysitting tips.
St. Joseph's Children's Hospital celebrated 20 years of teaching Safe Sitter in 2008, and has had thousands of graduates who understand the responsibility needed when caring for Tampa Bay's young children.
Working with tomorrow health care workers today, Morton Plant Mease works directly with students at Palm Harbor University High School's medical magnet program: the Center for Wellness and Medical Professions. The program is designed to prepare students for entry into post secondary programs as well as direct entry in health industry careers. Over the past 11 years, Morton Plant Mease has worked with nearly 6,000 PHU students who have contributed more than 100,000 volunteer hours. From tours of the hospital, lectures and a mock "A Day in the Operating Room", students are given first-hand exposure to the health care field.
In 2008, Morton Plant Mease was honored with the Commissioners Business Recognition Award by the state's Department of Education as a result of its "outstanding commitment to improving education by partnering with schools in the community."
Here are just a few of the ways that Morton Plant Mease Hospital has been involved in Palm Harbor University High:

Looking back, 27-year-old University of Houston student Jenny Nguyen said she should have known it was too good to be true.
I just wanted the tickets so bad, she said.
The ad she found on Craigslist was enticing: $300 for tickets to see her idol, Justin Bieber, at the Toyota Center in Houston on October 30. He's playing at the American Airlines Center in Dallas the night before.
When Nguyen tried to set up a meeting with the seller, she said he flaked out several times.
He agreed to meet me at a Chili's and he never showed up, she recalled. By the time I got home, I got a text saying he was pulled over for his headlight being out.
They set up other meetings. Then he told me another story about his car overheating. And then he said that his son had cut his knee open and they were in the ER having to get stitches, she said.
The ticket-seller offered to knock $50 off his price because he had strung her along so many times. Nguyen agreed, and finally they met.
I was so observant, she said. I wrote down his license plate number on his vehicle -- a black four-door old Cadillac, beaten up.
It was the same license plate -- and the same vehicle -- that Sam Vykukal had seen a week or so earlier. Vykukal lives in Fort Worth and almost drained her bank account to buy tickets for the Dallas Justin Bieber concert for her seven-year-old granddaughter, only to find out the tickets were fake.
Vykukal even convinced the man to pose for a photo with the fake tickets. When WFAA put the photo on the news, Houston station KHOU picked up the story. It was posted on their website just hours after Nguyen had made her purchase.
Another mom in the Houston area also reported buying fake tickets from the same man.
I was just like, 'This is my story!' Nguyen said after reading Vykukal's account.
All three women said the man used the name Michael Miller. Nguyen and a cousin got the police involved right away. Montgomery County deputies opened an investigation, and Nguyen said they even used her to set up a sting.
We had agreed to meet at a place right on the border of where the [sheriff's department] jurisdiction ends. About 10 minutes before the meeting, he texted and said his car broke down again in a shopping center, she said.
That location was outside of the department's jurisdiction. It took a few minutes to get clearance to move in, but once they did, Miller had already moved out.
I texted him and said, 'OK I can come now!' and his exact words were, 'Hell no. I've left already,' she said.
Miller has not been located, but deputies told Nguyen they will continue to follow leads.
She's still trying to find a way into the Justin Bieber concert.
The $250 I spent could have bought me a legitimate ticket up in the nosebleeds, she said.
Ticketmaster reminds customers that Craigslist is not an authorized dealer. They suggest only buying tickets from websites that offer money-back guarantees.
We've been trying to win local contests, Nguyen said of her desperation to land a ticket. With her fingers crossed, she said, We hope it happens! We're gonna try again today.
