Sisters of Mercy Takes Reins at St. John's Regional Medical Center
The Sisters of Mercy Health System announced today that it has finalized a deal with Catholic Health Initiatives to assume sponsorship of St. John's Regional Medical Center in Joplin, MO. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Mercy takes immediate and full responsibility for operating the 367-bed acute care hospital and related operations, which serve 19 counties in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
St. Louis-based Mercy, the eighth largest Catholic healthcare system in the nation, operates 19 other acute hospitals, physician practices, outpatient clinics, health plans, and related health and human services in a seven-state area, including nearby hospitals, physician offices, and other operations in Springfield, MO, Rogers, AR, and Independence and Fort Scott, KN.
Gary Pulsipher will become president/CEO of St. John's Regional.

Since 2002, Pulsipher has served as president/CEO for Columbus Community Hospital in Columbus, NE, and administrator of Silverton Hospital in Oregon.

to whom this may concern , this is what we shared with the world on facebook. I can't even believe it's possible to say all that and it just be 100% true....... I have to get something off my mind from earlier today..so i go to the er after my doc had his family emergency cuz i was advised to by his nurse , i go in feeling horible walk out feeling same , REALLY wish i would have just not gone and just waited 2 weeks for help or DR GLAS CUZ now i got no treatment at all besides the ER big bill walk out of er feeling as bad as walking in no real care no reason for it , then they expect to be paid LMFAO this is the perfect way to explain one good reason for OBAMA CARE !!! PLEASE SHARE !!! i hope them caring people at st.john to see this thanks to them i can honestly say he has not ate one bite today and has not slept decent in 3 days this town needs a COX and we might be the ones to start working on just that. I was there i seen it all im not just sticking up for my husband he could have been a stranger and i still would have [INVALID]ped my jaw thank you caring people at st johns i bet all of them ate and slept fine tonight something i can say my husband wont do so please share this because i hope them caring people at st johns read this and im sure he hopes individually that they all have that karma running right at them This first visit was around 3:30 p.m. 01/28/2013 The second visit was around 2:30 a.m. 1/29/2013 I am Jimmy Knapp's wife Raedawna Knapp I called up to the E.R. because I am tired of seeing my husband not eat (since 1/27/2013) or slept more than a few minutes at a time so at about 1 oclock this morning I called the E.R. and talked to one of what has to be one of the only decent people up there named Joe wish I knew the last name and this is what we talked about...... I told Joe that I had my husband up there earlier and told him how they treated him like he was some kind of junkie which them kind of words are no where near our names neither do we have a history of narcotic use at all. Joe asked me the patients name I gave it to him along with his DOB he looked it up on the computer first thing he saw was how high my husbands blood pressure was Joe knew the treatment that my husband got earlier wasn't suitable along with the rest of the staff because he walked in and out feeling the same and didn't have a problem making it clear to them and then when we went back it was the same treatment as before. I told Joe to put himself in my shoes for just a minute and he said to come back to the E.R. and they would help out with my husbands pain which was a lie but not because of Joe it's because of the careless people that are not caring like Joe. Whenever we where bringing up the situation at the front desk we had an I would say almost all of the E.R crew standing there just looking careless and there wasnt anybody in there but us at all pretty much. And there wasn't a real big seen but if he wanted to make a big deal out of things and be a bad person then he could have slipped on the wet floor in room #3 at 2:00 a.m. that they walked him into with no wet floor sign. He is not that was and he is also not a junkie and he is not just lookin for pain pills. My husband feels like he shouldn't have went to the E.R at all in this town to get bad service. Somebody needs to help with this issue or do something anything. We would like a call so we know this made it to you. 417 942 0363 or 417 991 9096 P.S. To go ahead and gripe and be serious all the way he also didnt get an allergy wrist band or fall risk and he was there for falling and they walked him on a wet floor. Now i know most people that had that happen to them could have fell intentionally its just a good thing we are not like that but i thought that would be a very eye opening situation to bring to your attention being how this is not right and Sargent Doublen told us to contact you over this matter. I dont believe we need an attorney but we do have one contacting us over the E.R. this is what was sent to the attorney general in hopes of getting rid of careless people or sad situations like tonight or the liability your staff causes by walking a guy thats there for falling thats a fall risk that didnt get a fall risk wrist band and was walked on a wet floor in room #3 which it should be clearly on tape if you got it and quite frankly that should be enough right there to prove they didnt care or they wouldnt have walked him on a wet floor in his condition. In one way or another i think we both wished that at that very second that we saw that wet floor it would have been a crooked person with a good lawyer that walked on it. I dont know if anyone can see the issue here of carelessness in the very beginning of walking in that room it was proof right then if you think about it.

Poll – Your Dream Photography Vacation
Written by: Tiffany Joyce
One of the things that I love the most about travel is the opportunity to photograph new subjects and new places. As Sherry wrote about in yesterday's post, I can get all annoying while on vacation, in my quest to photograph every little nuance of our travels.
I think the highest destination on my list of dream photography vacations is Wales. Many sources believe that the legend of King Arthur began in Wales, and as a child I was absolutely fascinated by tales of King Arthur. I would read every book about the legend that I could get my hands on. My interest in visiting Wales was clinched when I read Susan Cooper's young adult novel, "The Grey King," which takes place in Wales. I could visualize the rolling hills, the soft mist, the ancient architecture, and meadows dotted with sheep. Not to mention the boy with the sliver eyes, shadowed by an enormous white dog.
If the U.S. dollar ever edges close to the value of the pound sterling, I hope to visit Wales one day. At the moment it's a little out of my financial reach!
So, readers, share with us! Vote in the poll and let us know what your dream photography vacation is, and describe in the comments the one place that is at the top of your list to visit!
If you can't see this poll, you can participate by clicking here.

Demi Cup Bras
The Demi Bra is cut straight across the body, covering half of the bust and shelving the breasts. Demi literally means "half" in French, and Demi Bras represent this concept well; a Demi Bra is cut lower than a Full Cup, but provides more coverage than a Balconnet. Demi bras have wide set straps and are typically cut at a slight angle to enhance presentation and create an open neckline.

Clostridium difficile is a type of bacteria that lives in the intestines. Healthy people can have some of these bacteria in their colon without getting sick. However, if you have too many clostridium difficile bacteria, they can damage the colon and cause a serious, even life threatening, infection.
These bacteria are also called C. difficile or C. diff.
You may get a C. diff infection if you have been taking antibiotics for a while. Different antibiotics kill different kinds of bacteria. Antibiotics can upset the natural balance of "good" and "bad" bacteria in your gut. When an antibiotic kills 1 type of bacteria, this may let too many other bacteria grow in your gut. If you have too many C. difficile bacteria you may develop an infection.
You are also more likely to get a C. diff infection if:
The most common symptoms of C. diff infection are
The infection is diagnosed with tests of bowel movement samples. The tests can show the kind of bacteria causing the infection. Tests called cultures can show which antibiotics are best to treat the infection.
You may have the following tests to see if the infection is hurting your colon:
Even though antibiotics may have caused the C. diff infection, you will need more antibiotics to get rid of it. C. diff infections are usually treated with metronidazole or vancomycin. However, some strains of C. difficile are getting resistant to these antibiotics. This means that the medicines no longer kill the bacteria. Your provider will use culture test results to find an antibiotic that will work.
If the lining of your colon has been badly damaged by the infection, you may need surgery to remove the injured part of the colon.
If you are hospitalized, you may need to stay by yourself in a single room. This is to help make sure the bacteria stay in your room and don't contaminate or infect other people.
A C. diff infection can cause your body to lose too much fluid (dehydration). The bacteria can also cause:
If you have C. difficile, you can avoid passing it to others by cleaning your hands well with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub. Everyone who comes into your room must also clean their hands before and after seeing you. This includes doctors, nurses, other staff, and visitors.
If you are being treated at the hospital for C. diff infection, you may need to stay in your room. If you are allowed to leave your room, you should not go to common areas, such as the gift shop or cafeteria. You can go to other areas of the hospital for treatments and tests. Usually the staff caring for you will wear protective gowns and gloves, which they will take off before leaving your room. Visitors may also need to wear gloves and a gown over their clothing. The housekeeping staff must also use gowns and gloves when entering your room and should clean all surfaces in the hospital room, including the bedrails and the telephone.
If you do not have C. difficile but want to avoid getting it, you should:
If you are at high risk for infection, you may be given medicine that may help you have a healthy balance of bacteria in your colon.

- The DVD version of Come on Over to Barney's House includes five songs from this album. However, because the album was not complete as the DVD was being produced, none of the recordings are exactly as they were on the album. By Myself and I Put a Smile On even featured Bob West's Barney voice, despite the fact that the character was voiced by Duncan Brannan in the finished album. The recording of I Put a Smile On was taken from Barney's Musical Castle.
- This was the first and only album where Duncan Brannan voices Barney alone.
- "I Love You" and most of the nursery rhymes are the only songs that debuted in the Backyard Gang videos to be used in the album.

Searching for interviewee,
Hello everyone,
Hope you all are doing well with the second appealing assignment.
I need a help if possibly someone can support me. I decided to write about the topic Violence against school girls including the subtopics such as acid throwing on school girls, and teachers and using the poisonous gas in classrooms in Afghanistan. I have got enough information about these by searching in web. However, I haven't found a first person interviewee for this assignment. I tried to get the contact of the any of the victim girls in one of the situations above, but I was not able. Therefore, I posted this journal in here, so that if anyone knows or has the contact information of any victim or the people whom they belong to, please do send me a message in world pulse, I will get it.
Waiting for any possible reply,
Mursal Hamraz
Press Institute
Dear Mursal,
I have forwarded your question to Cristi at the Press Institute in case she has some other suggestions!
Kind regards,
"In every human heart there are a few passions that last a lifetime. They're with us from the moment we're born, and nothing can dilute their intensity." Rob Brezny
Difficulty Coming Forward
Hi Mursal,
I discussed this with Sultana, one of The Press Institute's reporters in Bangladesh. She says it took her nearly 4 months to find a victim willing to be interviewed and even then there were many restrictions on the interview. This is an important issue, but also a difficult one. Because of the rise in acid attacks in Bangladesh, many women have court cases pending or are fearful of coming forward.
I suggest proceeding with the topic and trying to contact some lawyers who represent these women. They will be able to give you the details of the cases you need to write a compelling piece, but they will protect the identity of their clients.
I hope that helps. Do let me know if you have any other questions.
Even this much is interesting
Hi lovely sister
I can guess how challenging it is. I honestly want to tell you that even this much of your sharing enable to make me interest. You have found the threatening issue and I hope it will end soon.
Best Regards
Congratulations on Very Happy Teachers Day through ten years journey!

In response, Mr Cameron said he that he was fully supportive of employees' right to wear religious symbols at work, adding: "I think it is an absolutely vital freedom."
Permitted wear for Muslim nurses
in the NHS
He went on: "What we will do is that if it turns out that the law has the intention [of banning the display of religious symbols in the workplace], as has come out in this case, then we will change the law and make clear that people can wear religious symbols at work."
According to a report in the Telegraph, Vince Cable, the Business Secretary who is Miss Eweida's constituency MP, welcomed the Prime Minister's words. In response to a letter that he had previously written to Theresa May, the Home Secretary, asking for a change in the law he was told this was impossible.

Think BR: Tablet ownership, TV advertising and catching the shopper off guard
An increase in tablet ownership is forcing brands to rethink how they communicate with TV audiences, writes James Lunn, innovations director, Savvy Marketing.
James Lunn, innovations director, Savvy Marketing
Last year was, without doubt, the year the tablet came into its own. Twelve months ago, parts of the population could be forgiven for not really understanding what one was - a big phone, a small PC, a headache cure - or quite where it fit in terms of filling a consumer need.
However, as 2013 approaches our own research shows us that around 24% of shoppers now own a tablet, with this set to rise to a huge 67% during 2013.
This rapid saturation means that the tablet is changing the way that the UK population consumes online content and entertainment. A heavy laptop, irritating booting times and a hot crotch no longer need to get in the way of a casual browse, with the tablet sitting much more comfortably alongside a cup of tea, magazine and the TV remote than a PC ever could.
Hand-in-hand with ownership numbers rising month-on-month, there is a huge (and still growing) opportunity for brands, marketers and TV advertisers alike. For the first time, large numbers of consumers have access to a device which they can use to interact with content as it happens on screen, in real-time.
Some brands are already doing this; in April Channel 4's Prometheus film trailer dramatically incorporated a real-time Twitter feed into their ad campaign. Later in the year ITV used a different approach during the final of Britain's Got Talent, featuring a Shazam triggered experience from Pepsi Max and Cadburys. This included competition entry mechanics which added value content and external links for second screening viewers.
The exciting thing is, this is just the beginning. Increasing tablet ownership will encourage brands and advertisers to invest more time and money in to discovering new ways to engage with target audiences. So with UK mobile and tablet ad spend likely to be in the realms of £350 million in 2012 - and rising by more than 100% annually - what can we expect from our favourite brands in 2013?
It's likely we will follow the US, where they have services like Watch With eBay, which allow consumers to buy products that feature in the TV programmes as they watch. We will also see Real-time High Frequency Triggers become more prevalent. At Savvy we are currently working with a US company that can embed high pitch sound signals in to TV advertisements, in-store or in the high street which will automatically trigger content on handheld devices in certain proximity - without otherwise disturbing others, or their pets.
So what does this all mean in the context of shopper marketing? Well, let's start off by looking at the people currently shop on and offline. Bricks and mortar superstores, though offering a wide choice to the consumer, are actually inefficient.
In a typical grocery superstore there are 45,000 items stocked, however an average shopper might only buy 25 items. That equates to 0.05% being relevant to the shopper. Online grocery stores also offer wide choice to consumers, but in reality shoppers only see a limited number of SKUs, which is typically limited to sticking to a buying routine based on their existing repertoire. Attempts to promote goods outside their 'favourites' are often hindered by banner blindness.
In both cases when a consumer is in shopper mode they are focused on getting the job done and subconsciously filter out what they perceive as the equivalent of junk mail messaging. Yes, consumers want ideas, inspiration and offers, but they have to be relevant to them and delivered at a time when they are receptive to receiving them. And what our insight tells us is that when shoppers are receptive to relevant offers, inspiration and ideas they might not be in shopper mode. One such time is when they're watching TV.
Smartphones and tablet devices enable brands and retailers to communicate with consumers when they are not in shopper mode. This means we have the opportunity to create TV ads that pull consumers into shopper mode for a split second, a split second that is most relevant to them. At Savvy we call this 'disruptive engagement' - shopper marketing when a consumer isn't in what is traditionally known as shopper mode.
Because tablet devices offer consumers the ability engage in real-time, in the comfort of their own arm chair, an extra dimension to TV advertising is emerging. Using new technologies, true dual-screen content consumption will be possible. Whether it's buying goods, adding a new product to their favourites, entering a competition or playing a game, consumers will soon become used too, and ultimately expect additional relevant shopper-lead content embedded into a TV/Digital brand experience.
As ever, as far as advertising goes, 2013 will see its winners and losers. It will be very interesting to see which brands make the most of this opportunity, and which will miss out. We all talk about the 'moment of truth' in a shopper's journey, but in reality the moment of truth can be at any time, in any place in a consumer's life.
True relevance to a consumer is at that point when a desire or curiosity for a product arises. Smartphones and tablets are merely the channel to capitalise on that desire or curiosity at that point in time. Advertisers in 2013 will not only have to spend time developing creative and compelling TV ads, but also think how they can capture and capitalise on its call to action in real-time, using the latest haptic technologies.

Coffee 6 Pack #2 (3x2) Reviews [view details]Give us YOUR review!
Showing 1 through 3 of 3 reviews
"Somewhat disappointed"
received coffee 6 pack. So far, only questionable stick is the SoloCafe. Too mild & very little taste. Will stick with Isla del Sol.chris s in florida March 23, 2012
"Overal for this 6 pack is a 8.5"
I normally a Drew Estate Pureist, but I love coffee flavor Cigars. The Titiana Mocha was a pleasant suprise. Overall the Mocha are the best out of the sampler. But Isla Del Sol, was a great smoke. Since there are multiple brands Ill refrain from given a detail review. But if you are a flavor Cigar man, and you enjoy Coffee infused Cigars, these are a must have for your collection. The Solo Cafe were my least favorite out of the 3 different brands, but still a great smoke. Titianna Mocha-9.5 Isla Del Sol- 9 Solo Cafe- 8.0 Hope this help you.Jay Boen in Texas November 10, 2011
"Mixed bag"
Overall this was a nice sampler. The Isla Del Sol and the Tatiana were both really beautiful sticks with good flavor and burn. The Solo Cafe had nice sweetness and burned slow and even, but both sticks I received had a very tight draw to them.Terrence in Dillsburg, PA August 30, 2011

Learning From Critical Experiments in Education
Series edited by Jesko Fezer and Matthias Görlich
Ahali: An Anthology for Setting a Setting is a collection of selected articles from current and previous contributions to Ahali, a journal by artist Can Altay.
POA 1–22 is part of the ongoing archive of activities conducted by the independent event bureau Public Occasion Agency (POA), founded by Jan Nauta and Scrap Marshall at the Architectural Association in 2009. The book is a collection of fragmented documents: previews, photographs, ephemera, reviews, reflections and opinions collated from the first twenty-two POA events. Critical and inquisitive, personal and probing contributions from a variety of authors from across fields and disciplines and with differing agendas here propose a withdrawal from idle commentary and encourage more productive forms of participation. Including essays by Pier Vittorio Aureli, Shumon Basar, Mark Campbell, Barbara-Ann Campbell-Lange, Henderson Downing, David Greene, Samantha Hardingham, Ingrid Schröder, Nicholas Simcik Arese, Silvana Taher, Tom Vandeputte and Carlos Villanueva Brandt
This first fm-scenario edition coincides with the group exhibition Between Walls and Windows: Architecture and Ideology (House of World Cultures, Berlin, 2012) which presents ten location-specific productions by international artists and architects.
The global financial collapse of 2008 was widely interpreted as discrediting the neoliberal project and its false utopia of market rule, though it remains to be seen whether the death of neoliberalism has been greatly exaggerated.

Optimization in GCC
hi, follow the "Listing 3.
hi, follow the "Listing 3. Simple Example of gprof" but when using -O or -O2, the profile is "Flat profile".So how to resoult it?
my step is:
1: gcc -o test_optimization test_optimization.c -pg -march=i386
2: ./test_optimization
3: gprof --no-graph -b ./test_optimization gmon.out
4: the result is:
Flat profile:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
no time accumulated
% cumulative self self total
time seconds seconds calls Ts/call Ts/call name
0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 factorial
if add -O2, the result is:
Flat profile:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
no time accumulated
% cumulative self self total
time seconds seconds calls Ts/call Ts/call name
single optimization flag without level
Any optimization can be enabled outside of any level simply by specifying its name with the -f prefix, as:
gcc -fdefer-pop -o test test.c
In current versions of GCC it is incorrect ( http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#optimization-options ). Single optimization flag without optimization level doesn't work. I don't know what about old versions.
gcc 4.2.3 vs visual c 2005
I just compiled a code under gcc cygwin and visual c 2005 in a lpatop with dula core intel processor.
The debuggable gcc code was about 2x times than faster than visual c++ debuggable code
however the situation reversed when i used O3 optimization in gcc and "release" optimization in visual c.
now the visual c code is 2x faster than gcc.
i did not expect that large a difference; it is HUGE!!
am i missin gsomehting or anybody else has noticed similar thing?
visual c++ optimizations
apparentely, MSVC uses a few insecure optimizations counting that the developer created a secure code. Probably thats why its debug build is slower.
I've seen lots of situations where gcc code gives a error right away, and promptly showing me and bug and MSVC happily executing a code until it finally stumble upon a non-static field of a class and finally giving a error. For me , this is simple misleading and thats why I prefer gcc
Detailed article, that is great!
You wrote very detailedly!
It is really useful for me right now since I am doing my thesis work on optimization under Linux. Thank your so much!
Someone should write some
Someone should write some "C" code and a few scripts that will enable / disable every compiler option and then print out which options worked best for _your_ particular system.
A benchmark that would specifically test each option (as opposed to using a single benchmark, and huge) could be written.
EG: no point in benchmarking if we should use:
gcc -O2 -O3 code.c -- One disables the other
gcc -fno-gcse SSE2_code.c
Benchmarks need to have a 'large' effect on the option that is being switched.
This could be ran overnight (or on multiple machines, each doing part of the testing) and results provided on a web page somewhere.
Experts could put in thier two cents and a wiki of snipperts could
be fed into a code compilator (not compiler, just a bunch of scripts) that would compilate all the snippets and produce a final program to be compiled on many different machines.
This way we could figure out that if we had such-and-such a system then "how-often" (what % of the time) would we simply be better off
to use a particular option and when is it more likely based on that TYPE of program we are running (wordprocessor vs. MultiMedia app).
EG: If you have a Pentium is is ALWAYS (or should be if gcc is correct) best to use the -march=pentium option - BUT - it is NOT always best to use "-fcrossjumping" (though it _could_ be for certain applications).
The output of all this could simply be a half dozen command line choices for each processor - including a "general purpose 'best'" setting and a "quick compile with great optimization" setting (for intermediate builds).
This is something that a few dozen people need to work on to get the ball rolling and then the rest of us need to pitch in and compile the resulting test scripts to check for errors. With everyone's help we should have the so-called answer(S) to "which compilation options should I use for machine-X when compiling applcation=category Y.
Just a thought ...
Looks like you have a good
Looks like you have a good project to setup now.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

While Robin Thicke and Daft Punk were battling it out for the Song of Summer, these talented ladies were gearing up for fall. Over the next three months, four of the biggest pop stars will release brand new albums, and we've got the lowdown:
1. Miley Cyrus, "Bangerz"
Lucky for us, the first album on our list has already dropped! Miley Cyrus released her fourth studio album "Bangerz" earlier this week, featuring her summer singles "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball," the latter of which was her first song to peak at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The 13-track record, including a wild track with Britney Spears called "SMS (Bangerz)," shows a clear evolution from her Disney-influenced teen years into her rebellious twenties. According to Billboard, her record will land the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart next week, and judging by the positive critical response, "Bangerz" will surely be the hottest album of the season.
2. Katy Perry, "Prism"
"Prism," Katy Perry's third pop album, is set to be released on October 22. Her lead-off single "Roar" was released at the tail-end of summer, and not long after, she performed it live for the first time at the MTV Video Music Awards. Less than two weeks later, "Roar" had reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, her tenth song to top the charts.
Since then, she has debuted two non-single tracks from "Prism," including the '90s-inspired "Walking on Air" and the witchy "Dark Horse." Perry announced that her second single, "Unconditionally," will be released on the same day as "Prism," on October 22. Given her astronomical success in the past, there is no doubt this album will meet expectations.
3. Lady Gaga, "Artpop"
"Artpop," Lady Gaga's long-awaited follow-up to "Born This Way," will hit shelves this November 11. Her summer single "Applause" is the closing track on the album, proving that Gaga's new album is pop perfection from start to finish.
In typical Gaga fashion, she's been issuing teasers for her album over the past several weeks, most recently by commissioning loyal fans to construct a mural containing all the tracks on the album and later revealing her song "Aura" in a lyric video inspired by her upcoming film, "Machete Kills." Fans won't have to wait long for more Gaga, as her second single, "Venus" will be released on October 27.
4. Britney Spears, Upcoming 8th Album
Britney Spears is gearing up for a busy fall season with a new Las Vegas residency in the works and a hot new single. Not only that, but Britney fans can look forward to the release of her latest album, produced by the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am.
Her new record has yet to be named and will be available on December 8. We enjoyed Britney's latest single "Work B****" and her racy new music video. If this new side of Brit Brit is a sign of things to come, her album should be a huge hit.

Montreal Salon du livre book fair
Top 10 bookstores collecting funds and books
In early May, the Foundation team had the great pleasure of sharing some reading time with some 40 children and 20 parents when they visited two schools in Quebec in underprivileged areas. Once again this year, actress and The Gift of Reading® spokesperson, Marie Turgeon, created some magic moments for the children by reading them a story, followed by a postcard rally and a lively discussion on the pleasures of reading. Her generosity made these visits highly memorable for all the participants, large and small, and for the team, not to mention the fact that the media were there to record the scene.
A recent addition to this event may provide some inspiration to participants in the book distribution. Last year, for the first time, a workshop was offered to parents to discuss ideas on how to encourage children to read and share the pleasure of reading. This year, parents enjoyed being captivated by a story told especially for them. We're pretty sure they'll want to repeat the experience at home with their kids!
|Parents of kindergarten pupils at École Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-La-Salle answered the invitation in large numbers.
Each year, these activities enable the Foundation to be in direct contact with children benefiting from the project, and allow the team the privilege of presenting the gift of a brand new book to the children in person!
École Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-La-Salle, Montreal
Wednesday, May 5, 2010
The kids were delighted to receive their new book with their families.
|Marie Turgeon told stories to a rapt group of kindergarten pupils, provoking gales of laughter.
|The children got out their favourite colours for the postcard rally, happy to thank the person who had offered them the gift of a book.
École Maria-Goretti, Sorel-Tracy
Friday, May 7, 2010
|A lively discussion about the pleasures of reading with 4th and 5th grade students who actively manifested their interest in the topics proposed by Marie Turgeon.
|Pupils took great pleasure in examining their new books.
From November 18 to 23, 2009, Montreal's Salon du livre book fair welcomed The Gift of Reading® for the 11th year running. Once again, the Foundation was able to rely on the generosity of visitors, thanks to whom 2,168 brand new children's books will be given in May 2010 to the same number of underprivileged children. Close to $1,500 was also donated to support the project and enable the Foundation to deliver all the children's books given by the public across Quebec.
In the wake of the success of the story-reading activity launched at the 10th anniversary of The Gift of Reading®, the Foundation repeated the experience this year, on the theme of "gifts of reading." This time, we had an official presenter: Mamanpourlavie.com. The purpose of this activity was to raise the awareness of book fair visitors concerning a reality that is ignored or forgotten: in Quebec, thousands of children are still not having stories read to them!
Nineteen artists, authors and public figures joined the fun by offering the gift of a reading to interested visitors. Small people and grown-ups alike were invited to have a story read to them by their favourite stars in a bedroom-like setting.
|Whether they are tiny or grown-up, visitors are captivated by the stories read to them by actor Guillaume Girard (left) and host and actor Jocelyn Blanchard (right).
Once again this year, the activity was a big hit with all involved. Showcasing an ideal situation that unfortunately does not exist in most of the families targeted by The Gift of Reading®, these 19 episodes of reading charmed the small visitors and transported the adults back to their childhood, at the same time raising their awareness of the importance of this project continuing, designed as it is to help keep young people in school and prevent illiteracy.
Reverting to childhood is a pleasure thanks to actor François Bernier, who humorously tells a story for tiny tots to some captivated girls.
|The stories told by Dre Nadia delight the small children, who eagerly follow the tales with their tiny fingers.
The Foundation wishes to thank the 70 volunteers who gave some 407 hours of their time and greatly assisted staff in promoting the project to visitors during the six-day event.
Very special thanks go to the management and board of Montreal's Salon du livre, who have hosted The Gift of Reading® and made it the book fair's official cause from the project's inception.
Grown-ups and children join enthusiastically in the project: a super family activity!
|Program host Katerine-Lune Rollet explains the project to visitors with energy and good humour, while offering colour tattoos to the little ones.
Top 10 bookstores collecting the most books
Top 10 bookstores collecting the most funds
List of participating bookstores 2009–2010
The Yves-Saint-Arnaud charitable foundation gave quite a boost to the book collection carried out by the Jacques-Lemoyne-de-Sainte-Marie library this year. In fact, they presented the library with a cheque for $150, allowing it to buy books and considerably increase the total number of books collected for its first participation in The Gift of Reading®. Thanks to Fondation Yves-Saint-Arnaud for their generous gesture!
After a successful first participation last year, the Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys literacy team along with common core basic education teachers at the school board threw themselves enthusiastically into their second book collection for The Gift of Reading® in November 2009. Through their efforts, they managed to collect 251 brand new children's books, up 30% from last year.
Congratulations to Lorraine Boucher and Sylvie Roy for their unstinting work, and to all the learners and their teachers for their participation.
The education department at the University of Quebec in the Outaouais (UQO) had an original idea for collecting donations for The Gift of Reading®. They invited students and staff at UQO and the public to buy "word candy"—lollipops decorated with unusual words. They also organized a pizza supper in aid of The Gift of Reading®. More than $170 was raised through these great initiatives, representing a considerable increase for the department's second year of participation.
After five years of participation in the project by UQAM, the donations made by students, faculty and staff at the university might have been expected to level off. But these generous donors surprised us once again, since on the occasion of this 11th edition, they collected 399 books, 47 more than last year. Guided masterfully by Lucie Chartrand of the UQAM arts faculty, this collection has become, year by year, one of the most impressive and inspiring for the project. The Gift of Reading®and UQAM, an ongoing love affair!
As part of their book collection, staff in the Estrie office of the provincial employment and social solidarity ministry (MESS) organized a 50-50 raffle and a second-hand book sale as a fundraiser for buying books for The Gift of Reading®. The employees running the collection had the bright idea of going to their local bookstore to buy the books, and as thanks they received a donation of 30 additional books!
Many thanks to Biblairie GGC for this generous donation, and especially to Dany Langlois MESS of Estrie and her colleagues. Through their efforts and support for the cause, they collected a total of 132 new children's books!
With a view to publicly promoting the book collection for The Gift of Reading®,
Rouyn-Noranda municipal library made brilliant use of its Web site, which featured a press release and a promotion announcing its support for the project and informing donors that they could leave a book at the library.
Bravo to the whole library team, and special thanks for her commitment to Renée Arseneault, responsible for animation, information and dissemination!
This year, Rouyn-Noranda's En marge bookstore went the extra mile to promote The Gift of Reading® in its region. In fact, a productive collaboration between author Sonia Cotten and this bookstore led to the implementation of a strategy with several facets: storytelling to families, press release inviting the public in
Abitibi-Témiscamingue to donate new children's books, and establishment of a regional goal.
Credit for this original initiative and joyful collaboration goes to Stéphane Dupuy, owner of En marge bookstore. Thank you!
In December 2009, current and former literacy training students along with teachers from Granby's Centre régional intégré de formation (CRIF) organized a charity bazaar in aid of The Gift of Reading®. Through this initiative, $280 was collected, and was used to buy 32 brand new children's books that will be given to children from underprivileged neighbourhoods in the Montérégie.
Thank you to all these generous individuals for doing this! A special mention to Hélène Goasdoué, group leader and literacy teacher, for coordinating this activity.

Retirement and Separation
United States Air Force, Air National Guard & Air Force Reserves
This section will explain how to request an extension of travel and transportation entitlements for former Air Force members that upon separation were authorized to travel to their Home of Record (HOR) or Place Entered Active Duty (PLEA). Personal Property Activity Headquarters PPA HQ and Installation Commanders (for member's undergoing court-martial proceedings) have authority to approve HOR and PLEAD extensions. PPA HQ Home of Record extension approval criteria are:
-bonafide hardship that would be created by compliance with the 180 day basic entitlement
-joint spouse members serving different tour lengths who have met the intent of DoD assignment policy, waiting for spouse to PCS or separate (open-ended requests, i.e. until my spouse's DEROS, separates, retires, transfers, etc, will be returned without action).
-specific hardship situations not normally faced by members in similar situations
-education, training or medical reasons for the separated member
-legal or administrative proceedings that preclude member from moving within the time limit
-delay in selling, renovating or construction of a home
PPA HQ's authority is derived from the Joint Federal Travel Regulations, Volume 1, Paragraphs U-5125-D, U5225-G, U5360-G, and Air Force Supplement to the JFTR/JTR, Paragraph 3.5.6.
A letter from the member formally requesting the extension is required. The letter should state why an extension is needed and for how long. Members should provide their complete mailing address, and phone number. A fax number, and email address is optional, but can expedite the process if additional information is needed. Also documented proof or verification of the member's situation is required. For example, the member is requesting an extension because of hospitalization or medical treatment; a letter from the physician or hospital administrator is required. The letter should indicate the medical hardship/condition the member is incurring, whether treatment is readily available elsewhere, how long the treatment is expected to last, and whether travel would be detrimental to the member's health. A copy of the separation order (AF Form 100) is also required. Please do not send a DD Form 214.
Request for extension should be forwarded to:
2261 Hughes Avenue, Suite 159
Lackland AFB, Texas 78236-9857
DSN: 954-4200, Ext 5977/5962/5957

DSN Fax: 954-4263

E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Installation Commanders are responsible for HOR separations when the member is with dependents, stationed in CONUS, and incident to a court-martial sentence or administrative discharge under other than honorable conditions. Their authority is derived from the Joint Federal Travel Regulations, Volume 1, paragraphs U5240-F, U5370-H, and SAF/MIM delegation of authority, dated 27 Mar 96. When the member is authorized to travel to his/her HOR and he/she has been sentenced by a court-martial to:
-be confined for a period of more than 30 days,
-receive a dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge,
-be dismissed from a uniform service, or
-receive an administrative discharge under other than honorable conditions, the installation commander at which the member was stationed at the time of the court-martial sentencing or administrative discharge is the approval authority for extension of travel and transportation entitlements.
The initial period of dependent travel and/or shipment of personal property is 180 days from the: date the court-martial sentence was approved and ordered executed, or date of administrative discharge under other than honorable conditions.
The Installation Commander is also responsible for: authorizing the travel of dependents and/or shipment of personal property, and determining the authorized destination of dependent travel and/or shipment of personal property.

Singapore – Donna the local mongrel who was previously turned in for investigation by the authorities for the first suspected unlicensed protest to be staged by a dog in this country has fled. It is rumoured that the dog police whispered in embarrassment the statement that Donna the local mongrel, made her escape when wardens let her out in the yard to read her pee-mail. The authorities do not have an answer as to why the local mongrel held in custody should have access to pee-mail or any kind of communications with the dog network. They have refused to comment for this news report.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has sent a message to Raul Castro, congratulating him for his re-election as Cuba's president.
Cuban lawmakers re-elected Castro on Sunday. Castro said the new five-year term will be his last as Cuba's president.
In a statement released by Venezuela's foreign ministry on Monday, Chavez called Castro "a brave soldier" and expressed optimism his new term as Cuba's leader would be successful.
Venezuela and Cuba have forged strong ties under Chavez.
Chavez returned to Venezuela on Feb. 18, after more than two months of medical treatment in Cuba following cancer surgery.
