Memory and forgetfulness are as life and death to one another. To live is to remember and to remember is to live. To die is to forget and to forget is to die.Samuel Butler
What madness it is for a man to starve himself to enrich his heir, and so turn a friend into an enemy! For his joy at your death will be proportioned to what you leave him.Seneca
Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.Samuel Langhorne Clemens
Everything that makes diversity of kinds, of species, differences, properties everything that consists in generation, decay, alteration and change is not an entity, but a condition and circumstance of entity and being, which is one, infinite, immobile, subject, matter, life, death, truth, lies, good and evil.Giordano Bruno
I wonder will death be much lonelier than life. Life's an awfully lonesome affair. You can live close against other people yet your lives never touch. You come into the world alone and you go out of the world alone yet it seems to me you are more alone while living than even coming and going.Emily Carr
You resent death. You regret death. But as for your own life, you know perfectly well that no one can threaten it at all. Death is something that happens to someone else.Orson Scott Card
Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause; He noblest lives and noblest dies who makes and keeps his self-made laws. All other Life is living Death, a world where none but Phantoms dwell, A breath, a wind, a sound, a voice, a tinkling of the camel-bell.Sir Richard Francis Burton
One shouldn't commit suicide out of fear of death.Unknown
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.Bret Harte
By the end of the decade it had become obvious that perhaps the one constant of our variegated and strung-out peer groups was a pervasive sense of self-consciousness that sent us in grouchy packs to ugly festivals just to be together and dig ourselves and each other, as if all of this meant something greater than that we were kids who liked rock 'n' roll and came out to have a good time, as if our very styles and trappings and drugs and jargon could be in themselves political statements for any longer than about fifteen stoned seconds, even a threat to the Mother Country! So we loved and loved and doted on ourselves and our reflections in each other even as the whole thing got out of hand and turned into mud and disaster areas and downs and death.Lester Bangs

Someone told me sleep was the cousin of death and followin' the dollar finds nothin' but stress.Mac Miller
Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man.Aung San Suu Kyi
The concentration camps, by making death itself anonymous (making it impossible to find out whether a prisoner is dead or alive), robbed death of its meaning as the end of a fulfilled life. In a sense they took away the individuals own death, proving that henceforth nothing belonged to him and he belonged to no one. His death merely set a seal on the fact that he had never existed.Hannah Arendt
There is only one ultimate and effectual preventative for the maladies to which flesh is heir, and that is death.Harvey Cushing
Men sooner forget the death of their father than the loss of their patrimony.Niccol� Machiavelli
Death is the mother of Beauty; hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires.Wallace Stevens
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.Sun Tzu
Man has lost one quality, the quality of zestfulness. And without zest, what is life? Just waiting for death? It can't be anything else.Osho
Death is that "Tomorrow" for which all our lives are spent waiting! Man is constantly building the "Image." It is an Edifice for the entombment of bones! Best to "Realize" the temporal nature of things and simply "Do and Die!Irvin Kauffman
I think that horror fiction is one of the ways to approach these problems of death.Clive Barker
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys. Look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death!Sun Tzu
For a great tree death comes as a gradual transformation. Its vitality ebbs slowly. Even when life has abandoned it entirely it remains a majestic thing. On some hilltop a dead tree may dominate the landscape for miles around. Alone among living things it retains its character and dignity after death. Plans wither; animals disintegrates. But a dead tree may be as arresting, as filled with personality, in death as it is in life. Even in its final moments, when the massive trunk lies prone and it has moldering into a ridge covered with mosses and fungi, it arrives at a fitting and noble end. It enriches and refreshes the earth. And later, as part of other green and growing things, it rises again.Edwin Way Teale
To die for ones country is such a worthy fate That all compete for so beautiful a death.Pierre Corneille
One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. And ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.Aldo Leopold
No one can deny the success of freedom, but some men rage and fight against it. And one of the main sources of reaction and opposition is radical Islam the perversion by a few of a noble faith into an ideology of terror and death.George Walker Bush
Life is the gathering of waves to a head, at death they break into a million fragments each one of which, however, is absorbed at once into the sea of life and helps to form a later generation which comes rolling on till it too breaks.Samuel Butler
The fear of death in the one place was not as strong as another kind of fear, the fear of a world gone crazy, a place where anything could happen, where nothing could be trusted, where nothing was certain. A terrible place.Orson Scott Card
Until I die there will be sounds. And they will continue following my death. One need not fear about the future of music.John Milton Cage Jr.
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.Oscar Wilde
Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.Gautama Buddha
Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.Mohandas Gandhi
In order to go on living one must try to escape the death involved in perfectionism.Hannah Arendt
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.Sun Tzu
Fatigue dulls the pain, but awakes enticing thoughts of death. So! that is the way in which you are tempted to overcome your loneliness -- by making the ultimate escape from life. -- No! It may be that death is to be your ultimate gift to life: it must not be an act of treachery against it.Dag Hammarskjold
Someone said, "Football's a matter of life and death" - but it's more important than that.Bill Shankly
Death and vulgarity are the only two facts in the nineteenth century that one cannot explain away.Oscar Wilde
It is not all of life to live, nor yet all of death to die. For life and death are one, and only those who will consider the experience as one may come to understand or comprehend what peace indeed means.Edgar Cayce
The chief problem about death, incidentally, is the fear that there may be no afterlife -- a depressing thought, particularly for those who have bothered to shave. Also, there is the fear that there is an afterlife but no one will know where it's being held.Woody Allen
No one invites him to come in and sit down he is like a crow in a deserted house. Caught in birth and death, separated from God for such a long time, the whole world is wasting away.Guru Nanak
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever; Do noble things, not dream them all day long; And so make life, death, and that vast forever One grand, sweet song.Charles Kingsley
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys. Look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death!Sun Tzu
The true lover of learning then must his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth. . .He whose desires are drawn toward knowledge in every form will be absorbed in the pleasures of the soul, and will hardly feel bodily pleasures- -I mean, if he be a true philosopher and not a sham one. . .Then how can he who has the magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all times and all existence, think much of human life? He cannot. Or can such a one account death fearful? No indeed.Plato
Meditation speaks. It speaks in silence. It reveals. It reveals to the aspirant that matter and spirit are one, quantity and quality are one, the immanent and the transcendent are one. It reveals that life can never be the mere existence of seventy or eighty years between birth and death, but is, rather, Eternity itselfSri Chinmoy
Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh, that is to say over fear: fear of poverty, of suffering, of calumny, of illness, of loneliness and of death.Henri Frederic Amiel
There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.Thomas A. Edison
Buddhism holds that everything is in constant flux. Thus the question is whether we are to accept change passively and be swept away by it or whether we are to take the lead and create positive changes on our own initiative. While conservatism and self-protection might be likened to winter, night, and death, the spirit of pioneering and attempting to realize ideals evokes images of spring, morning, and birth.Daisaku Ikeda
One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation.Oscar Wilde
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.Martin Luther King Jr
As we live through thousands of dreams in our present life, so is our present life only one of many thousands of such lives which we enter from the other more real life and then return after death. Our life is but one of the dreams of that more real life, and so it is endlessly, until the very last one, the very real the life of God.Count Leo Tolstoy
Water is sometimes sharp and sometimes strong, sometimes acid and sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet and sometimes thick or thin, sometimes it is seen bringing hurt or pestilence, sometime health-giving, sometimes poisonous. It suffers change into as many natures as are the different places through which it passes. And as the mirror changes with the colour of its subject, so it alters with the nature of the place, becoming noisome, laxative, astringent, sulfurous, salty, incarnadined, mournful, raging, angry, red, yellow, green, black, blue, greasy, fat or slim. Sometimes it starts a conflagration, sometimes it extinguishes one; is warm and is cold, carries away or sets down, hollows out or builds up, tears or establishes, fills or empties, raises itself or burrows down, speeds or is still; is the cause at times of life or death, or increase or privation, nourishes at times and at others does the contrary; at times has a tang, at times is without savor, sometimes submerging the valleys with great floods. In time and with water, everything changes.Leonardo da Vinci
Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself.James Anthony Froude
Love always triumphs over what we call death. Thats why theres no need to grieve for our loved ones, because they continue to be loved and remain by our side.Paulo Coelho
Love always triumphs over what we call death. Thats why theres no need to grieve for our loved ones, because they continue to be loved and remain by our side.Paulo Coelho
Life is one long training session in preparation for what will come. Life and death lose their meaning; there are only challenges to be met with joy and overcome with tranquility.Paulo Coelho
The child can become conscious only if in his past life he has meditated enough, has created enough meditative energy to fight with the darkness that death brings. One simply is lost in an oblivion and then suddenly finds a new womb and forgets completely about the old body. There is a discontinuity. This darkness, this unconsciousness creates the discontinuity. The East has been working hard to penetrate these barriers. And ten thousand years' work has not been in vain. Everybody can penetrate to the past life, or many past lives. But for that you have to go deeper into your meditation, for two reasons: unless you go deeper, you cannot find the door to another life; secondly, you have to be deeper in meditation because if you find the door of another life, a flood of events will come into the mind. It is hard enough even to carry one life....Osho
If you're up against a smart opponent, make him think himself to death.C. J. Cherryh
Oh! Death will find me, long before I tire Of watching you; and swing me suddenly Into the shade and loneliness and mire Of the last land! There, waiting patiently, One day, I think, I'll feel a cool wind blowing, See a slow light across the Stygian tide, And hear the Dead about me stir, unknowing, And tremble. And J shall know that you have died, And watch you, a broad-browed and smiling dream, Pass, light as ever, through the lightless host, Quietly ponder, start, and sway, and gleam Most individual and bewildering ghost! And turn, and toss your brown delightful head Amusedly, among the ancient Dead.Rupert Brooke
Dost thou wish me to complete the catalogue by thy death? Thy life is a worthless thing. Tempt me no more. I am but a man, and thy presence may awaken a fury which may spurn my control. Begone!Charles Brockden Brown
So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.William Cullen Bryant
O Balder, he who fashiond us, And bade us live and move, Shall weave for Deaths sad heavenly hair Immortal flowers of love. Ah! never faild my servant Death, Wheneer I named his name, But at my bidding he hath flown As swift as frost or flame. Yea, as a sleuth-hound tracks a man, And finds his form, and springs, So hath he hunted down the gods As well as human things! Yet only thro the strength of Death A god shall fall or rise A thousand lie on the cold snows, Stone still, with marble eyes. But whosoeer shall conquer Death, Tho mortal man he be, Shall in his season rise again, And live, with thee, and me! And whosoeer loves mortals most Shall conquer Death the best, Yea, whosoeer grows beautiful Shall grow divinely blest. The white Christ raised his shining face To that still brightning sky. Only the beautiful shall abide, Only the base shall die!Robert Williams Buchanan
Don't be afraid. The dead cannot hurt you. They give you no pain, except that of seeing your own death in their faces. And one can face that, I find.Lois McMaster Bujold
God honors some with great suffering and grants them the grace of martyrdom, while other are not tempted beyond their strength. But in every case it is one cross. It is laid on every Christian. The first Christ-suffering that everyone has to experience is the call which summons us away from our attachments to this world. It is the death of the old self in the encounter with Jesus Christ. Those who enter into discipleship enter into Jesus' death.Dietrich Bonhoeffer
He wasnt afraid of dying, only of having not done all he could, and not properly spitting in the eye of death when it came for him. That final gesture was important.William M. Kucmierowski
The machinery chugs on unabated, belching out its dehumanizing product. It is distressing. But I refuse to despair. I know, one day, the Supreme Court will outlaw the death penalty. Permanently.William Joseph Brennan, Jr.
The Angel of Death has been abroad throughout the land; you may almost hear the beating of his wings. There is no one, as when the first-born were slain of old, to sprinkle with blood the lintel and the two side-posts of our doors, that he may spare and pass on; he takes his victims from the castle of the noble, the mansion of the wealthy, and the cottage of the poor and lowly.John Bright
Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man's life and work go on after his death, whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not. There is no such thing as death according to our view!Martin Bormann
Simple, sincere people seldom speak much of their piety. It shows itself in acts rather than in words, and has more influence than homilies or protestations. Beth could not reason upon or explain the faith that gave her courage and patience to give up life, and cheerfully wait for death. Like a confiding child, she asked no questions, but left everything to God and nature, Father and Mother of us all, feeling sure that they, and they only, could teach and strengthen heart and spirit for this life and the life to come. She did not rebuke Jo with saintly speeches, only loved her better for her passionate affection, and clung more closely to the dear human love, from which our Father never means us to be weaned, but through which He draws us closer to Himself. She could not say, "I'm glad to go," for life was very sweet for her. She could only sob out, "I try to be willing," while she held fast to Jo, as the first bitter wave of this great sorrow broke over them together.Alcott, Louisa May
This life in us; however low it flickers or fiercely burns, is still a divine flame which no man dare presume to put out, be his motives never so humane and enlightened; To suppose otherwise is to countenance a death-wish; Either life is always and in all circumstances sacred, or intrinsically of no account; it is inconceivable that it should be in some cases the one, and in some the otherMalcolm Muggeridge
The purpose of medicine is to prevent significant disease, to decrease pain and to postpone death... Technology has to support these goals-if not, it may even be counterproductive.Dr. Joel J. Nobel
Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or broken heart, is excuse for cutting off one's life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one.Charlotte P. Gillman
Our every action is a battle cry against imperialism, and a battle hymn for the people's unity against the great enemy of mankind: the United States of America. Wherever death may surprise us, let it be welcome, provided that this, our battle cry, may have reached some receptive ear, that another hand may be extended to wield our weapons, and that other men be ready to intone our funeral dirge with the staccato singing of the machine guns and new battle cries of war and victory.Ernesto Che Guevara
Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.Ernesto Che Guevara
Threatening me with death doesn't mean anything. I don't care less. The life of any one Iraqi is no less valuable than mine.Saddam Hussein
Fear is the outcome of weakness, a cowards friend, an enemy of firmness. Fear of death is the cause of all human fears. One who wins the fear of death wins himself. He is the one who wins the freedom. From his mental prison.V.Prabhakaran
A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.Martin Luther King Jr
You and I Have so much love That it Burns like a fire, In which we bake a lump of clay Molded into a figure of you And a figure of me. Then we take both of them, And break them into pieces, And mix the pieces with water, And mold again a figure of you, And a figure of me. I am in your clay. You are in my clay. In life we share a single quilt. In death we will share one bed.Kuan Tao-Sheng
There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.Thomas A. Edison
Law should be like death, which spares no one.Charles de Montesquieu
One should rather die than be betrayed. There is no deceit in death. It delivers precisely what it has promised. Betrayal, though ... betrayal is the willful slaughter of hope.Steven Deitz
The Celts were fearless warriors because "they wish to inculcate this as one of their leading tenets, that souls do not become extinct, but pass after death from one body to another.Julius Caesar
Obesity now contributes to the death of more than 360000 Americans a year. The incidence of childhood obesity is now at epidemic levels. Alarm bells are going off all over the place. But our government has done virtually nothing.Tom Harkin
Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.Earl Wilson
It is a time when one's spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death.Mark Twain
My situation is a solemn one. Life is offered to me on condition of eating beefsteaks. But death is better than cannibalism. My will contains directions for my funeral, which will be followed not by mourning coaches, but by oxen, sheep, flocks of poultry, and a small traveling aquarium of live fish, all wearing white scarfs in honor of the man who perished rather than eat his fellow creaturesGeorge Bernard Shaw
The Duke of Clarence . . . a prisoner in the Tower, was secretly put to death and drowned in a barrel of Malmesey wineRobert Fabyan
In Karma-yoga no effort is ever lost, and there is no harm. Even a little practice of this discipline protects one from great fear [of birth and death].Bhagavad Gita
A hero is someone who rebels or seems to rebel against the facts of existence and seems to conquer them. Obviously that can only work at moments. It can't be a lasting thing. That's not saying that people shouldn't keep trying to rebel against the facts of existence. Someday, who knows, we might conquer death, disease and war.Jim Morrison
Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.Horace Mann

Despite the departure of star Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass, the Bourne franchise still ruled the box office this weekend.
The Bourne Legacy, Universal's $125 million sequel/reboot, which stars Jeremy Renner as a new (but similarly brainwashed) secret agent, topped the chart with an estimated $40.3 million from 3,745 locations
The action film debuted higher than franchise launchpad The Bourne Identity, which grossed $27.1 million in its 2002 opening weekend, but it will need solid word of mouth (which may not be merited by its lukewarm "B" CinemaScore grade) to match that film's $121.7 million finish. Legacy was unable to reach the heights of its two predecessors, though. 2004's The Bourne Supremacy started with $52.5 million on the way to $176.2 million, and 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum started with $69.3 million en route to a $227.5 million finish.

I think this quote sums up our prevailing thoughts behind the YES Summit: Serving 18-to-30s. To really offer something of benefit to those who attend, we did not want to simply parade a bunch of speakers in front of an audience and call it a conference (which is why we call it a Summit).
There is certainly a time and place for an event structured in that manner, however December 6-8, 2006 in San Diego is neither that time, nor that place. It's time to offer attendees a chance to listen, but also a chance to collaborate, collect ideas, and develop a blueprint. In fact, that is what we are calling a very important piece of our conference materials… the YES Summit Blueprint.
It's also the time and place to elevate the discussion on the young adult demographic beyond why credit unions need to pay attention to this group. An excellent discussion on the importance of 18-to-30s to the future of the Movement has already occurred on many fronts. While we may refresh your memory on a few key points, we are assuming that attendees are aware of the importance of addressing young adults. Now is the time to focus on serving their needs… what new products can be offered, what services can be extended, how are credit unions successfully addressing young adults in their fields of membership?
Our vision for the Summit is to provide information that stimulates new ideas, services, and programs among credit unions that want to better serve the 18-to-30 demographic. I'm excited to say that we are well on our way to achieving this.
What do you think? Are credit unions ready to address the young adult demographic in this manner? Should there be an emphasis on marketing? Is this Summit only a pipe dream, and will those who attend really participate in a way to formulate ideas for their own programs?

Heart Failure (HF) is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood to the body's other organs. This can result from narrowed arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle; coronary artery disease; past heart attack, or myocardial infarction, with scar tissue that interferes with the heart muscle's normal work high blood pressure; heart valve disease due to past rheumatic fever or other causes; primary disease of the heart muscle itself, called cardiomyopathy; heart defects present at birth or congenital heart defects and infection of the heart valves and/or heart muscle itself or endocarditis, or myocarditis.
The "failing" heart keeps working but not as efficiently as it should. People with heart failure can't exert themselves because they become short of breath and tired.
As blood flow out of the heart slows, blood returning to the heart through the veins backs up, causing congestion in the tissues. Often swelling (edema) is a byproduct of this congestion. Most often there's swelling in the legs and ankles, but it can happen in other parts of the body, too. Sometimes fluid collects in the lungs and interferes with breathing, causing shortness of breath, especially when a person is lying down.
Memory Impairment Program
The Memory Impairment Program (MIP) covers Alzheimer's Disease, and other related memory impairment disorders, such as Parkinson's, Vascular Dementia, Picks Disease, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, Huntington's Disease, and many other dementias, to include memory loss from strokes.
Dementia itself is not a disease, but is a syndrome or group of symptoms caused by certain diseases or a temporary illness. It affects a person's memory, judgement, cognition (the ability to learn, process, and understand new information), the ability to care for oneself and their ability to solve problems.
Alzheimer's Disease is the most common form of dementia. Symptoms can include confusion and inability to carry out routine everyday tasks. Initially, the only symptoms may be mild forgetfullness. In later stages, behavioral and personality changes such as aggressive acts and aimless wandering may accompany the marked cognitive decline.
Brooks Home Care Advantage's Memory Impairment Program (MIP) is designed to allow the individual with "memory loss" to remain as independent as possible, in the safe, comfortable and familiar surroundings of their home. Our specially trained staff will provide the family/caregiver with information, support, instruction and assistance to help them cope with the day-to-day management of the debilitating effects of a dementing disease.
In-Home Memory Impairment Program Team
Our Skilled Nurse will assit with Physical Health and Well-Being, Medication Compliance, Social Support, Home Safety and Behavioral Concepts. They will also schedule a meeting with the family/caregiver to assess their knowledge and understanding of the disease.
Daily Living Skills, Mental Abilities and Behavioral Condition of the individual.
Communication Skills to include: Speech Production, Memory & Problem Solving Ability.
Following the assessment process, a "Plan of Care" will be established and care team members return to the home to provide skills retraining for the individual with the memory impairment and education and training for the caregiver.
In addition:
We will assist both the individual and the caregiver in accessing information on community services, respite care, caregiver support and other services or skills necessary to care for a loved one.
Urinary Incontinence Program
Urinary incontinence often starts with symptoms of stress incontinence. Stress Incontinence is leakage of urine that occurs during normal activity such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising which may place pressure on the bladder. Urge incontinence is also common, which is when the brain signals the bladder to be empty, even though it may contain a small amount of urine. There are a variety of ways to treat urinary incontinence conservatively and effectively. The professionals at Brooks Home Care Advantage work with the client's physician to formulate the most effective plan of care. Components of treatment include: strengthening of the muscles of the pelvic floor, retraining them to better perform their function, learning techniques for improved control and changing behaviors which make incontinence worse. These interventions can be performed in combination with medications used to control incontinence. Brooks Home Care Advantage will consult with the physician regarding all treatment provided.
The nursing and rehabilitation staff at Brooks Home Care Advantage are trained to identify clients who are experiencing urinary incontinence. Licensed physical and occupational therapists specially trained in this treatment, then perform an assessment to determine whether a client will benefit from treatment. The therapists work with the client, and their caregiver when necessary, to help the client achieve greater bladder control and a possible cure.
Transitional Care Coordination Program
Transitional Care begins with a "plan of care" created by the patient's hospital clinical care team while the patient is hospitalized. As the patient is discharged to Brooks Home Care Advantage the "plan of care" becomes extremely important, the goal of home health care is to help the patient stay in their home setting and avoid rehospitalization. During the patient's first 14 days at home BHCA's Clinical team "front-load" visits, shceduling a number of clinical and/or rehabilitation visits up front. This has proven to help reduce the re-admission rate to an Emergency Department and/or a Acute Care Hospital.

Brooks Home Care Advantage 24 Hour Emergency Management
Brooks Home Care Advantage's care team closely follow these key components and can be accomplished with the active engagement of patient,s their family and informal caregivers in collaboration witht he patient's physician.
Transitional Care Coordination Can Help Avoid Hospital Readmissions
When a patient is dicharged from a hospital, it has been reported that 1 out of 5 of them will need to be readmitted within 30 days. Transitional Care drastically reduces these re-admissions.
It has been researched that 17 billion dollars of Medicare funds each year are allocated for these types of readmissions. A large portion of these readmissions can be avoided with the proper Home Health Care Coordination.
Fall Prevention Program
The home healthcare professionals at Brooks Home Care Advantage understand that falls are not just random accidents or the inevitable byproduct of aging. We know that falls are most often predictable and preventable events. Our experts will identify the many individual characteristics and environmental factors that increase the likelihood that an older adult will experience a fall.
We evaluate risk factors for falls such as mobility and balance deficits, impaired cognition, multiple medications, postural hypotension, inappropriate footwear and environmental hazards. Thorough assessments and interventions by our multidisciplinary team approach can greatly reduce the risk of falls for our clients. This increases their self-confidence allowing them to remain in the comfort of their own homes.
The program itself is designed to identify seniors at risk for falls and to develop a unique careplan for each individual. Brooks Home Care Advantage utilizes a team of 4 skilled disciplines to best evaluate the needs of our clients. The team consists of:
Skilled Nurse - RN
Physical Therapist - PT
Occupational Therapist - OT
Medical Social Worker - MSW
Our multidisciplinary team starts with a thorough evaluation to determine the specific needs of our client. After each discipline has completed an initial evaluation the team will develop a careplan designed to enable our client to better adapt to the aging process, develop confidence, facilitate independence and improve decision making.

Got Your Long Creek Oregon Tee Shirt??? Womens or Mens
There's a little-known secret about cycling in Oregon: Some of the best riding in the state isn't in Portland or even along the Pacific Coast. You have to cross the Cascade Mountains and head into the open country of Eastern Oregon, where cows in the road constitute a traffic jam, and where the impressive scenery shifts between ponderosa pines and basalt rock. The Old West Scenic Bikeway is a beautiful, challenging, 175-mile loop through rural Eastern Oregon. It passes through 10 small communities and offers, in Matt's words, "big-sigh riding; every time you round a corner, you take a big sigh and recognize how lucky you are."
Compliments of Travel Oregon.com
Long Creek is a city in Grant County, Oregon, United States. The population was 197 at the 2010 census. Some sources make the claim that the city is named after John Long, a prominent miner who came to Grant County in 1862 during the Canyon City rush of that same year, this is disputed though and has not been varified.

The Fiery Furnaces' Eleanor Friedberger has made a new solo album called Personal Record, one that she co-wrote with the musician and writer Wesley Stace (who records as John Wesley Harding). The album arrives this summer, and the first single "Stare At The Sun" is a wordy, gently rollicking track that recalls '70s studio-rock without radiating cocaine vibes. Listen to it below.
Personal Record is out 6/4 on Merge.

Closers, man. Can't win without a proven closer. Just like the Giants last year, who rode their established ninth inning stud Sergio Romo all the way to the World Series title. Romo leaned on the experience gained over his 17 career saves to lead the Giants to the title.
Or the Tigers, a veteran team built on leadership of their proven closer Jose Valverde Phil Coke, owner of a whopping six career saves before shutting things down for Detroit in the playoffs.
Hmm, wait this doesn't quite add up.
As the song goes, until the arbitration system stops rewarding players for saves with more cash, the act of managing to the save is going nowhere.
Which makes the early spring paranoia over injured closers all the more ridiculous.
Yesterday we passed along the newsy tid bit that Angels would-be closer Ryan Madson got shutdown for 10 days after experiencing soreness in his newly reconstructed right elbow. Hot on the heels of that report came details of Mets closer Frank Francisco's elbow trouble, wherein the former Jays and Rangers 9th inning guy claimed to be at "zero percent."
Add Casey Janssen to the "probably not ready for Opening Day saves" patrol, as he told Toronto shlock jock radio that while he isn't "100%", he feels Opening Day is still a possibility.
Whatever will these teams do…other than carry on as if nothing happened?
There is no doubting the value of a closer in as much as they're a really good pitcher who appears generally unphased by late game pressure. The thing with closers is always that another comparable pitcher is waiting in the wings to take over. If not Madson, then Ernesto Frieri. If not Janssen, Sergio Santos is working his way back from injury. The Mets? I'm sure they'll find somebody.
Bobby Parnell was instructed to "prepare as if he's the closer", which involves what, exactly? Eating nails? Listening to jock jams to find the perfect walkout song? Getting flame tattoos? One can only imagine.
And the rest
The Biogenesis case keeps chasing Gio Gonzalez [Federal Baseball]
Pursue him as it might, this scandal will not follow Gio to the World Baseball Classic, where he will compete for Team USA [Morosi]
New old Jays manager John Gibbons doesn't want Brett Lawrie to change his style of play. [Davidi]
And for that, Giancarlo Stanton sends his regards.
Speaking of the Mets, things are so bad they're targeting Jose Tabata as a trade candidate. Better days, Mr. Met. [Mets Today]

Camden street named in honor of Dr. Mustapha Khan
CAMDEN, NJ–Trinidad born Dr.Mustapha Khan was a popular medic in Camden who really struck a cord with the people in the area as a physician. He was honored last week when the street he used to walk down to his office was renamed Dr. Mustapha M. Khan Way in his honor.
Khan, who died in 2009 at 84, retired from his medical practice the previous year. He had spent 51 years practicing medicine in the city, taking all patients who came in and treating them even when he knew they might not be able to pay.
"He found his bliss, found his home in Camden, New Jersey, in this community," said Khan's son, Mustapha Jr. "He really savored being a man of the people, treating everyone who came through his doors."
"Whether it was a little kid with a runny nose, a teenager with a behavioral problem or some adult who needed help changing a tire outside, anything he could do, he was willing to do," recalled Khan's son Rasheed. "He didn't care about the reward, didn't care about the money or accolades. That's the kind of person he was."
Over the years, Khan was offered chances to practice medicine with large health systems such as Cooper, West Jersey and Lourdes. He turned them all down to ensure that he could keep practicing medicine his way in Camden's Parkside neighborhood and helping people in a city he didn't want to abandon.
Khan also mentored children in the area and many of them are now themselves professionals in diverse fields.
Charolette Musilms, Christians hold interfaith meeting
CHAROLETTE,NC–Mecklenburg Ministries held its first interfaith prayer meeting, designed to promote greater understanding and common spiritual ground between Christians and Muslims.
The Ministries' youth council, along with Park Road Baptist and the Muslim American Society co-sponsored the event.
Imam John Ederer explained Muslim traditions of prayer, then invited those on hand to take part in or observe the Islamic sunset prayer.
The Revs. Amy and Russ Dean, Park Road's pastors, discussed Christian prayer, then lead vespers.
Talking and praying together, "will be a much more productive way to spend the evening than arguing over political divisions or pointing a long finger of derision at people because they are different than us," Russ Dean said in a prepared statement.
Ramy Ahmed wins award at Technon Conference
AUSTIN,TX–Ramy Ahmed, a graduate student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, won a Best Paper/Presentation award at the 2011 Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) Technon Conference.
Ahmed and advisor Dr. Sebastian Hoyos won for their paper, "A 384-MHz Continuous-Time ΔƩ Modulator Using a Hybrid Feedback DAC Based on Spectral Shaping of Jitter Induced Errors," in the analog/mixed-signal/RF circuit design session.
Ahmed's award is among a select group of SRC-funded projects. Hoyos said Ahmed's work has received excellent feedback in the past three years and has had SRC project reviews with one patent already filed by SRC member companies. They also have been invited to submit a full journal article for an IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I special issue coming up soon.
Ahmed received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in electronics and communications engineering from Cairo University (Egypt). He currently is working toward his Ph.D. in the Analog and Mixed-Signal Center, under Hoyos' supervision. During the spring of 2008, Ahmed was an intern at Rice Nanoscale Systems Laboratory at Rice University, where he worked on non-autonomous chaotic oscillators and 60 GHz receivers. In 2011, Ahmed held a summer internship with the analog and mixed-signal group at QUALCOMM Inc. in San Diego, Calif.
Ahmed's research interests include data converters and multistandard wireless receivers. He has co-authored more than 15 publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences and has one patent filed under the SRC/GRC patent program. Since September 2009, Ahmed is listed in Marquis Who's Who in the World, Who's Who in Science and Engineering and Who's Who in America. He is a member of IEEE and the Phi Kappa Phi honor society.
Anti-Muslim fliers spark debate in San Diego
SAN DIEGO,CA–A religious organization's campaign that focuses on passing out anti-Muslim literature to students is being criticized in San Diego.
The group passes out the fliers on public property just outside of the high schools. They have gone to Clairemont High School and Kearny High School, as well as other schools in Los Angeles and the Bay Area.
The fliers say as Islam grows "Muslims become increasingly more aggressive" and "We must defend students from being recruited and radicalized into Islam."
The fliers have sparked safety concerns for the Muslim community.
"We're also concerned about the bullying that's going on in public schools. So this is only going to spark the fire of 'Islam-a-phobia,' possible bullying of Muslim students," said Edgar Hopida of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Phoenicians Partner for Peace
September 15, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Nidah Chatriwala
As the nation united to peacefully acknowledge the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, Arizona State University (ASU), held an interfaith service, inviting Muslims, Christians and Jews.
Partnering For Peace was a program encouraged by President Obama for schools to participate in an interfaith worship in remembrance of 9/11 and ASU was one of them to accept.
The service was held at Tempe campus of ASU, attracting a large diverse crowd, which sung along the chorus or stood silently in respect to religious recitations performed.
The event began with Sue Ringler introducing TEAM-Tempe Interfaith, who organized the service, saying their mission used to be limited to collecting and donating canned foods but 9/11 changed everything, and they began giving hope through service of love in the community.
Partnering for Peace was also represented by a group of young adults called iMagine, who shared their goal of breaking down interfaith barriers to help teach each other the richness of diversity.
Soon the chorus sang "Where Can I Turn for Peace" on a candlelit stage with an enlarged photograph of a glittering white dove, represented peace in the background.
The audience was encouraged to stand in silence as the three Holy Scriptures: Bible, Torah and the Holy Quran's title covers were displayed on the screen, followed by each person reciting excerpts from them.
Rabbi Dean Shapiro read Isaiah from the Torah, then Pastor Chris Gonzales read Luke from the New Testament and Ayman Alhadheri recited verses from the Quran, which were translated by Elena Coassolo.
To help the interfaith audience understand the meanings of the holy recitations, three speakers shared stories of peace from their Christian, Jewish and Muslim traditions.
Susan Schanerman performed her Jewish tradition story called "A Talmudic Tale of Peace" as she created pictures with her hands and directed audience's mood to various tones of her voice.
Following Schanerman's performance, Doug Bland connected his Christian tradition story of "The Saint and the Sultan" to the Muslim influence of building Christianity and extracting the greeting "peace be upon you" from Muslims to saying it among Christian followers as well. He credited Islam's teachings, especially to be more merciful to each other, to improving Christianity's message among its followers.
To build on Bland's story, Saiaf Abdallah told the "Musa and the Good Things to Come" Islamic story about Moses and Khidr's journey of seeking knowledge through patience. At the end of the story he added that we must learn to see wisdom in atrocities such as 9/11 that united us all.
As the event came to a close, iMagine group members painted a rainbow representing Jewish, Christian and Muslim unity, as the audience stood up arm-in-arm chanting freedom and peace.

text: 5 Sonic is back!!!Pinkypress | 30/12/2010 | See all Pinkypress's reviews (1)How can someone give this game 1 star???? I dont write reviews but I have to defend this game, its AMAZING!!! There has not been a sonic game this good since SA2! Its short but sweet, straight to the point, sees the return of the classic sonic style corny jokes and has tons of replayability. Even though sonic team cant seem to stay away from adding a gimmick, I really feel like the wisps actually make this game so much better. With various additional temporary powers like becoming a laser, digger and a rocket among others gives each level many different routes to explore. Also to top it all off there is even a multiplayer, which is pretty epic in its own right!Anyone who gives this game less than five stars is crazy, this game is a must have for any casual gamer or hardcore sonic fan.

Bottles and Bites: Wine Bars with Fab Food
These days you can eat really well without leaving the bar. Check out these wine bars with commendable cuisine.
By Kiri Tannenbaum
Cork Wine Bar - Washington, DC
For DC-ers, there is no better place to unwind than the neighborhood Cork Wine Bar. Wines are sourced globally, but all on the list fall into the old world style. The menu, however, is decidedly modern, with new takes on classic tapas, like their bruschetta with avocado, pistachios, toasted pistachio oil, and sea salt. Or try their twist on the Parisian croque madame a grilled ham and cheese sandwich that's filled with prosciutto and fontina on brioche, pan-crisped, and served with a perfectly runny sunny-side-up egg.

Stop Data Loss!
- From CIO Digest, January 2010 Issue ( Download This Entire Issue in PDF)
Data loss prevention—it's a journey, not a destination
A number of organizations are already well down the road of minimizing risks from data loss. What can you learn from them? What roadmap can take you past hazards and reveal shortcuts to benefits?
How can you win the resources needed for a data loss prevention initiative? And since 67 percent of data breaches are unintentional, how can you change the behavior of employees and make them more aware of data security?*
To accelerate your organization's progress in data loss prevention, CIO Digest gathered key insights from leading IT decision makers and analysts.
First, herd cats
Winning an organization-wide commitment in this area can seem challenging. "However, it's a critical first step to build a framework for collaboration among the board of directors, IT, the legal department, and HR," says Gianluca D'Antonio, chief information security officer at Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas, S.A. (FCC). "One of the mistakes someone in my position can make is to go straight toward the target of mitigating risks."
D'Antonio has a big framework to build. FCC is an environmental and construction services company based in Madrid, Spain, with 14 billion euros in annual revenue and 93,000 employees in 54 countries. The first step was to classify data and determine what needed protection.
|< Previous Page
|Next Page >
Rich Mogull, analyst and CEO at Securosis and a frequent author and speaker on data loss prevention advises: "Get your executives in a room and say, 'Look, we need to stack rank. Which of our data is more important?' As a security specialist, it's not your job to define that."
Be firm
Don't rush or compromise when setting information security policy, adds D'Antonio. "It's a common mistake," he observes, "for information security managers to compromise on data loss prevention policies to move quickly and win approval. They leave out important requirements, but it's difficult to update policies later. Take an extra three months if needed, but begin strong."
Start small
Limit the scope of your pilot. Says analyst Mogull, "Trying to figure out what your sensitive data is, where it is, who needs to use it, and how it's being used is a pretty difficult process. So my recommendation to most organizations is start small. Where I see companies failing is when they try to jump over everything all at once and solve all their data security problems, usually by clicking checkboxes on policies in a tool."
Gain visibility from technology
Technology used the right way, however, can help build the collaboration that data loss prevention requires. Contributors to this article sought a solution that could find sensitive data wherever it is stored and show how it is being used. They wanted one that could help define policy across the organization, give visibility into policy violations, and enable a process for remediating and reporting on incidents.
To provide these capabilities, FCC chose Symantec Data Loss Prevention. Says analyst Mogull: "I like these new data security technologies because for the first time, we are gaining the ability to protect our information with minimal interference to business processes, and can do so in a more automated fashion."
Think like you're under attack
To minimize the risks of data breaches, it helps to have an attitude like Bill Donohue, chief information officer of 24 Hour Fitness, a privately-owned operator of 460 health clubs with over four million members.
As a young officer in the United States Marine Corps, Donohue learned to make IT work under threat of attack during Operation Desert Storm in Iraq. "We were way ahead of industry and the civilian market in trial and error of new technology," he says. "We were literally concerned about national security. Security has always been high on my list."

As a result, Donohue requires 24 Hour Fitness to undergo four security audits a year—two internal and two external—and to comply with IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), Payment Card Industry (PCI), and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) security regulations—even though it's a private company. "We look at auditors as partners, not bad guys," Donohue explains. "We want them to find whatever problems we haven't seen, and we want to expose whatever we can to them so that we can get better."
100 percent payback in one prevented incident
The company chose Symantec Data Loss Prevention to monitor network and email traffic for sensitive data in motion and to alert the security team about violations in policy. "Symantec Data Loss Prevention improved our security posture immediately," says Tim Segneri, the vice president of operations and technology management at 24 Hour Fitness. "We found some groups that we didn't realize handled credit cards, and it created more opportunity for education. We've used it for more than a year, and it is changing behavior. The number of security policy violations has decreased by about 80 percent."
That's a valuable result because the latest industry figures show the business cost for each record lost in a breach is about $200. "We're running almost four million active records," Donohue notes. "The loss of 10 percent of those or 400,000 records could cost $80 million. Symantec Data Loss Prevention pays for itself in one prevented incident."
Automate and prioritize encryption
Sensitive information is the primary asset at BCD Travel, which is the world's third-largest travel management company, operating in more than 90 countries with 13,000 employees. The challenge is how to protect it.
"Book an international trip with us, and we have to know your name, date of birth, credit card information, and passport number," says Sherron Smart, director, information protection and security at BCD Travel. "That's clearly personal identifiable information. And that kind of information would be received in an email. Symantec Data Loss Prevention gives us the ability to see sensitive data in motion and see how important this type of communication is to our business."
|< Previous Page
|Next Page >
Gain from layers of protection
According to interviewees, a solution like Symantec Data Loss Prevention should be one of several layers of protection that can be integrated to further minimize risks.
24 Hour Fitness recently watched Symantec Endpoint Protection deflect phishing attempts that sought to plant Trojans on its network. "There has been a rash of attacks through messages seemingly from Facebook," says Segneri. "Our junk email filter flagged them as suspicious, but employees, worried about their Facebook accounts, forced them through anyway onto their desktops, where Symantec Endpoint Protection grabbed them again and quarantined them. That's a good example of defense in depth protecting us when you can't stop people from doing things they think are important."
Another way to protect sensitive information is to gain greater control over how it is handled during e-discovery. Symantec Enterprise Vault helps the 24 Hour Fitness team quickly freeze email involved in potential litigation, research it, and produce evidence, showing in minutes what could take days to find if restoring from tape backups. "By having internal communications quickly available, we can stop a lot of frivolous lawsuits," Donohue says.
It's also easier to prevent data loss if there is less data on hand. At 24 Hour Fitness, Symantec Enterprise Vault is used to enforce a policy of retaining email for only 90 days, after which all messages are deleted. For a small group of senior employees, Enterprise Vault journals a copy of all messages and archives messages older than 90 days.
Sensitive data at 24 Hour Fitness is further secured because it is centralized at a protected data center. No data resides at any of the company's 460 clubs. "All our applications are Web-based," notes Segneri. "The only application used by the clubs is Internet Explorer. And all Internet access at the clubs is through a white list of approved sites."

Empower and secure a mobile workforce
At BCD Travel, a multi-layered security strategy is helping the workforce become increasingly mobile, yet protects sensitive data. "Symantec Endpoint Protection, with Symantec Network Access Control, gives us the ability to prescreen endpoints before we allow them to attach to our network," says Reggie McNeill, vice president, infrastructure and operations at BCD Travel. "It ensures they have the correct virus definition files, Microsoft security patches, and whatever other parameters we put in place." BCD Travel can now provide agents working at home in North America with full access to network resources, and more than a third of BCD employees now work remotely.
Concerned about submitted data, many customers are requesting an end-to-end encryption strategy, according to Smart. "That can get very costly," she notes. "We use Symantec Data Loss Prevention to detect personally identifiable information in an email destined for a customer and flag it to be encrypted. At the same time, it enables hundreds of thousands of other emails every day to avoid being encrypted unnecessarily. It helps us prioritize and automate where we need to use encryption. That saves time and money."
Symantec Data Loss Prevention also plays a key role in the gains from mobility. Says Senior Vice President Hilton Sturisky: "A great deal of expense can be removed from the bottom line. With the price of real estate, we often find that people can be as effective working from home as they can in the office. And by making hotel cubicles available and having fewer offices, we can still get the right amount of collaboration that we need. If we want to attract and retain the right employees, we need to be able to adapt to a flexible and mobile workforce—but at the same time, we can't lose sight of protecting customer data. Symantec Data Loss Prevention on our endpoints gives us the assurance our policies will be enforced."
Get up to 70 percent savings from the cloud
FCC chose to receive Symantec Data Loss Prevention as a cloud-based service from a telecommunications company. The provider's security operations center monitors the solution on 1,000 FCC endpoints and tracks another Symantec Data Loss Prevention module that inspects network traffic for more than 10,000 FCC users.
D'Antonio adds: "Our cloud-based service provider's expertise with Symantec Data Loss Prevention is greater than our own, and service level agreements let us link payment to project success. We get three years of service for about the cost of owning the solution, saving around 70 percent in one year of investment."
Reduce compliance staff time by 50 percent
Another benefit at FCC is easier compliance. "In Spain, we have the Organic Data Protection Law, which is very strict about how personal data can be handled," D'Antonio observes. "Symantec Data Loss Prevention automates our verification, showing where personal data goes and who accesses it. Our compliance verification time is reduced by 50 percent."
Accelerate the business
To win new business at BCD Travel, it's now almost a given to be able to show that the risks of data loss have been mitigated, says BCD Travel's Sturisky.
Minimizing risks is only one of the gains. "When the IT security team works on data loss prevention, we have a unique perspective on processes, across the silos of the business, and we can capitalize on unique insights," Sturisky notes. The company is already tweaking communication channels to create a competitive advantage after being able to observe how customers prefer to transmit sensitive data.
More opportunity lies ahead. "We serve a third of Fortune 500 companies and have real-time data on their travelers," Sturisky continues. "If you're on a connecting flight and we see it will be late, the system could trigger action that gets a new connection booked for you, or a hotel room, so you don't have to start frantically making phone calls when you land."
Sensitive data, once it is secured by a solution such as Symantec Data Loss Prevention, Sturisky concludes, can provide just the edge that enables the business to grow.

I-70 Exit 26 Grand Junction DDI
The Colorado Department of Transportation and the City of Grand Junction are partnering on projects to improve safety and traffic flow on I-70 at Exit 26 and 22 Road at US 6 in west Grand Junction. CDOT and the City are working together on the timing of the improvements, which will accommodate the increasing traffic mobility and safety needs in this growing area.
I-70 Diverging Diamond Interchange, June 2013 through November 2013
The City will design and CDOT will construct a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) at I-70 Exit 26. A DDI eliminates traditional left-hand turns by crossing lanes and shifting drivers to the left side of the road. This gives drivers direct access to a left-hand ramp to access the interstate without waiting at a traffic signal. The lanes then shift drivers back to the right side.
Diverging Diamond Interchanges can carry much more traffic than conventional diamond interchanges, and the capacity for left-turn movements is twice that of a conventional diamond. Safety has been shown to increase at interchanges and intersections built as diverging diamonds. The amount of crashes is reduced, as are the severity of crashes. The accidents that do occur are at angles that eliminate the dangerous "T-bone" that can happen at a traditional signalized intersection.
The cost of a DDI is much lower as well. The I-70 DDI at is estimated to cost $4 million, whereas other alternatives are between $10 and $15 million. Also, minimal right-of-way acquisition is required for this type of intersection.

Perhaps most noteworthy was Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death" speech, which occurred at St. John's Church on March 23, 1775. At the Second Virginia Convention in March 1775, before his fellow delegates George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry's masterful argument summoned Americans toward independence. The immortal final words "Give me liberty or give me death" not only spurred the colonies into the Revolutionary War but echoed throughout the following centuries for full equality for African Americans and women.
St. John's Church in the Church Hill neighborhood of Richmond offers tours inside the church daily that explore the ideas and events in Virginia that led to Patrick Henry's famous speech. The speech itself is re-enacted weekly during the Summer, by professional actors in 1770's attire who portray ten of the Founding Fathers who participated in the animated convention debate that culminated in Patrick Henry's famous speech.
The church is open 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sundays. Speech re-enactments are performed most Sundays during the Summer, as well as for some holidays. A schedule of speech re-enactments can be found on the St. John's Church website. For the speech performance, free tickets are distributed at 1:00 p.m., a patriotic organ program begins at 1:20 p.m., and the performance begins at 2:00 p.m.

The Simard Family
Brief History of the Migration of the
This web site, which is a work in progress, is dedicated to all the families that bear the name of Simard or have a heritage linked with it. From my own research, it would appear that all of us who bear a link to this name are descended from one common ancestor, Antoine Simard. Through several generations of his descendents who lived in France there came a man, Nöel Simard, who, along with his father Pierre, migrated to the new world French settlement of Quebec, Canada in 1657. Indeed, a great many of his descendants continue to reside in Canada today along with a considerable number who have migrated to numerous other countries. My own particular Simard family line migrated from Canada to the North Eastern United States during the late 19th century.
I have set up this web site in order permit members of the Simard family lines to learn of their history and give them a chance to share a bit of the history of their own lineages with others who bear the name. For all intents and purpose the history I will attempt to convey, as contained herein, shall be primarily limited to that of the descendents of Noel Simard who are now living in Canada and the United States.
On the 21st of June 1957, a group of French Canadians organized the Simard Tricentenary celebration in Quebec. This date marked the 300th anniversary of the arrival of Nöel and Pierre Simard into that community. This event was organized to note and celebrate the personalities of the their first ancestors in Canada, their admirable works and the important positions that their progeny then occupied in Canadian life. This event was also noted and attended by many of their additional descendents from the United States. The group also published a book, through The Historic Society of Saguenay, regarding this event and the history of their ancestors. This book, Contemporary of the Great King, a Biography of Nöel Simard dit Lombrette by Paul Médéric, which I attempted to translate from the original French language, has served as a basis for the information contained herein. This information is not and was not intended to be a perfect translation, as the translator is not a professional in such matters or even a native French speaker. This translation was also not intended to violate any copyright laws or otherwise infringe on legal rights that may held by any third party. It is only intended that this historical information may be circulated to as many of the English speaking descendants of Nöel Simard as possible, so that they will be better able to learn more about our common ancestry.
I have included a button on the above left to further link you to a variety of items that contain a Simard Coat of Arms which may be purchased.

If you're planning for retirement, you have more to worry about than your investments. You really should be concerned about what this country will look like in 20 or 30 years, when you're trying to live on a fixed income or a limited pool of assets.
The financial state of the union is a mess. That's not a surprise. It's in the headlines -- from the mortgage crisis to the wild gyrations of the stock market. Surely the president's State of the Union speech tonight will touch on all of those financial issues.
But will the president tell the truth, the whole truth, about the numbers and the extent of our nation's financial woes over the long run? Will he acknowledge the true cost of the emergency aid package now being debated in Congress?
Pressing the issue
The Institute for Truth in Accounting is determined that the real numbers will not only be spoken and written, but considered by all the candidates running for office this year.This non-profit and non-partisan Institute has created a Web site, www.Truthin2008.org, to bring the financial facts to the forefront.
Prominently displayed on the home page of this Web site are two running series of numbers that increase almost faster than the eye can capture. The first is the "official" national debt, calculated by the U.S. Treasury, which was $9,193,222,137,000.00 at the instant when I checked in. The number is growing by $1 million every minute!
Beneath it is another number, also clicking higher by the second. This, according to the Institute is the true national debt figure: $55,146,513,890,000.00.
This calculation of the national debt includes all the "off balance sheet" liabilities of the government -- its promises to pay benefits to Social Security and Medicare recipients as well as government workers' pensions.
In other words, the true liability of the United States of America is not only the Treasury bills, notes and bonds we sell to finance our annual deficit and past deficits. To get to the true liability, you must include all the promises we've made to make payments in the future.
That's how you get a $55 trillion national debt,
These are MEGO numbers: My Eyes Glaze Over. The numbers are staggering.
But no one talks about those "off balance sheet" obligations. It's as if you only looked at your checkbook balance to figure out your family finances -- and ignored the amount due on your mortgage and your credit cards. That would totally misrepresent the state of your finances.
Do you think you could get a loan if you only presented your checking account statements? Surely your banker would demand the complete picture. And that's just what's happening around the world, as central banks have been recognizing that the United States is on a collision course with debt. Foreign central banks have been dumping their dollars and buying gold, other currencies and commodities.
Of course, those foreign central banks still have huge holdings of U.S. Treasury securities. The United States remains the most stable country on the planet, and the safest place to hold assets during a crisis. But Treasury securities are becoming less enticing, as the Fed pushes rates down to stimulate the economy.
Even worse, all of the political candidates are rushing to give the American public their solutions to an economic slowdown. Most involve sending a check from the government, a rebate on the tax dollars that have been deducted from our paychecks all year long. In the long run, those checks will only increase the deficits, and thus increase our borrowing demand - eventually pushing rates higher.
Ask the tough questions
The American people need to ask their president, and their presidential candidates, how they'll deal with this tough issue of our growing debt burden. Will we tax our children? Will we "print" and thus inflate the burden away? Will we break our promises to retirees? Or will we start dealing with this issue in the coming election?
Truth in Accounting Institute founder Sheila Weinberg said: "It isn't pretty. But we have to face the truth -- or we could face disaster." That's definitely The Savage Truth.
