Vandals Burning Flags in Kettering
KETTERING -- Residents in the Glenmina Drive area of town are fuming over some ill-timed vandalism.
Neighbors say someone burned at least five flags about midnight Thursday in the southeast section of Kettering.
John Collins said he was out picking up sticks in his yard when he noticed his flag was burned.
"I'm very upset because it's the Fourth of July," Collins said. "We are putting our flags out for patriotism. It kind of dampens your holiday spirit when somebody wants to do this to your flag. My parents, grandparents fought and died for this flag and gave us a right to have it here. We are trying to be patriotic and do the right thing here but somebody for some unknown and ridiculous reason decides to deface and burn them."
Several of the homes in his neighborhood have flags in front, but only the ones on his street were burnt. Neighbors say it's because Glenmina Drive gets so dark at night with lot of trees but not a lot of street lights.
"You got to be kidding me," said Dor-Wood Optimist Club Avenue of Flags chairman David Mills. "Really?"
The Dor-Wood Optimist Club replaced the five flags at no cost to the residents
"To have them burned is mind boggling," said Mills. "The one flag was really burned and the other four were burned on the bottom."
Even though burning an American flag is considered free speech in protest, these arsonists could face criminal damaging charges since they were on someone else's property.
"What they did is illegal. That is an arson. That is not their property. They did not have the right to burn it," said Kettering Police Lt. Craig Moore. "We are asking anyone who was out last night in that area, who might have seen a car, seen people or seen anything to contact us. "That one lead could wrap this whole thing up."
The Dor-Wood Optimist Club Avenue of Flags is a service organization for kids of Kettering. Residents pay them a yearly fee to place these flags out five times a year: Memorial Day, Flag Day, Veterans Day, Labor Day, and Fourth of July.
"This is the time to celebrate our freedom and our freedom is flying a flag and have it left unharmed," said Collins. "Whoever did this I hope they understand the consequences they can face."

This native perennial wildflower consists of a low rosette of basal leaves up to 6" across; a mature plant will produce one or more flowering stalks up to 12" tall. The blades of the basal leaves are up to 3" long and 2½" across; they have stout hairy petioles up to 1½" long. The basal leaves are more or less oval in shape, crenate along their margins, palmately veined, and hairy on both their upper and lower surfaces; the upper surface of each leaf is medium green, while the lower surface is pale green or pale purplish green. Each flowering stalk is stout, erect, and very hairy; it has small alternate leaves up to 1¼" long and ½" across, which become gradually smaller as they ascend toward the inflorescence. The alternate leaves are similar to the basal leaves, except they are ovate in shape and smaller in size. Each alternate leaf is sessile or it clasps the stalk. The inflorescence consists of a stout spike of small flowers about 2-6" long. These flowers are densely clustered along the spike. Underneath each flower, there is a small leafy bract that is lanceolate. Each flower has a 2-lipped corolla that is cream-colored or pale yellow and a calyx consisting of 4 green sepals that are elliptic and hairy. The corolla is about 1/5" long and slightly longer than the calyx; the upper lip of the corolla is unlobed, while the irregular lower lip is unlobed or divided into 2-3 lobes. Each flower has a pair of exerted stamens and a slender white style. The blooming period occurs from late spring to early summer and lasts about 3 weeks. The flowers bloom gradually from the bottom of the spike to its apex. Each flower is replaced by a small 2-celled seed capsule that contains several seeds. The root system consists of a cluster of coarse fibrous roots; an older plant may form a rootstock that resembles a caudex or taproot. This wildflower occasionally forms colonies at favorable sites.

The Butt Memorial Bridge is in memory of Augusta native Archibald Butt, who was military aide and close friend to presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft. But Archie Butt was in the wrong place on April 15, 1912 when the ocean liner Titanic struck an iceberg and sank with great loss of life. Reports of his gallant service and heroic death in the disaster inspired the lion and eagle decorations. The 'Save Our Butt' publicity campaign rescued the bridge from demolition in 1995.
On July 29, 1902, Dennis Cahill was repairing the floor of the earlier wooden bridge here. Nine year old Dallas Kitchens wandered onto the bridge and fell into the canal through a hole in the floor. Cahill instantly dove in to her aid, but despite being a strong swimmer, sank with her out of sight. The river stone monument across the canal is to Cahill's heroism.

"A Lake of Blood and Destruction" – The Voices We Never Hear From America's Wars
Photo Credit: Harper & Row
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Voices From The Plain Of Jars: Life Under An Air War, "arguably the most important single book to emerge from the Vietnam war" according to historian Alfred McCoy, has just been reissued by University of Wisconsin press. The book is the only one of 30,000 Vietnam-era books written by Indochinese villagers, who comprised most of the population, suffered most, and were heard from least. But though unique, these voices also speak today for the countless unseen civilian victims of U.S. war-making in the Muslim World and beyond, and graphically describe the human consequences of U.S. Executive Secret war-making executed by Henry Kissinger from 1969 until 1975, and the dominant mode of U.S. warfare today.
Below please find excerpts from writings by Lao villagers from the Plain of Jars in northern Laos, who were bombed for 5 years from 1964 to 1969. The bombing, which eradicated the 700 year old civilization and turned the survivors into penniless refugees, was quadrupled after a November 1968 U.S. bombing halt over North Vietnam. It leveled every village and burned, buried alive, maimed and drove underground tens of thousands of civilians, where they lived like animals until evacuated to refugee camps in the capital city of Vientiane where they wrote this material.
When asked to explain the U.S. bombing escalation, U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission Monteagle Stearns testified to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, "well, we had all those planes sitting around and couldn't just let them stay there with nothing to do." (1)
N.Y. Times columnist Anthony Lewis has written, "the most appalling episode of lawless cruelty in American history (is) the bombing of Laos (and is) described without rancor—almost unbearably so—in a small book that will go down as a classic. It is "Voices From the Plain of Jars," ... in which the villagers of Laos themselves describe what the bombers did to their civilization. No American should be able to read that book without weeping at his country's arrogance." (2)
The following are excerpts from the book The Plain of Jars: Life Under An Air War. This material was collected by Fred Branfman, who lived in Laos from 1967-71, and adds an Afterword to the villagers' writings below. (Harper & Row, 1972).
1. "A Life Whose Only Value Was Death," by a Thirty-three-year-old Woman
A life whose only value was death. I saw this in the village of my birth, as every day and every night the planes came to drop bombs on us. We lived in holes to protect our lives. There were bombs of many kinds, as in this picture I have drawn. It is not beautiful but it shows the shooting and death from the planes, and the destruction of the bombs. This kind of bomb would explode in the air and was much more dangerous than other ones. I saw my cousin die in the field of death. My heart was most disturbed and my voice called out loudly as I ran to the houses. Thus, I saw life and death for the people on account of the war of many airplanes in the region of Xieng Khouang. Until there were no houses at all. And the cows and buffalo were dead. Until everything was leveled and you could see only the red, red ground. I think of this time and still I am afraid.
2. "Have Pity On The Victims Of The War!" by a thirty-year-old woman
There was danger as the war came closer, like the sound of bombs or shells or the airplanes which constantly made a terrible noise in the sky and led me to be terribly, terribly afraid of dying. At that time, our lives became like those of animals desperately trying to escape their hunters. Our lives were confided to the Lord Buddha. No matter when, all we did was to pray to the Lord to save our lives. We didn't know how long we would stay alive. When looking at the faces of my children who were losing the so very precious happiness of childhood, as each and every day we would seek escape somewhere in the forest, I would grow in creasingly miserable because of the war and hate it more and more.

How to be a ninja. Everyday #93
For example, ninja are supposed to "be good at 100 things" -- can you imagine? Despite being physically agile and super sneaky (plus deadly, the part is that most impressive to my boys) you are also supposed to cultivate interests outside of kicking ass. So ninja dabbled in gardening and calligraphy and poetry or whatever it is they wanted to learn. I want to be good at many things too; definitely not 100, but I'm going to work on a list of things I want to get good at. And then I'm going to take lessons. And I'll sit in my sewing class not feeling lame for turning into a grandmother, but feeling sneaky because what I'm really doing is training to be a ninja.
Also, they felt that training should be fun because you learn more if you enjoy it. Makes perfectly good sense to me. And don't forget the importance of learning by doing -- endless research on the internet isn't going to turn you into a ninja
But my favorite paragraph has to be this,
The ninja's special skill, really, is to think outside the box and do the unexpected, In a land famed for its strict adherence to tradition in all things, you can see how effective a technique that can be.
Reminds me of the Coco Chanel quote: "In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different." Now that I think about it, she wore black an awful lot.

The Vampire Diaries Review: Livin' on a Prayerby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
With apologies to beach-based sunsets and the sight of puppies asleep, is there anything better than flashback episodes of The Vampire Diaries?!?
The CW smash delivered another mythology-heavy thrill ride with "The Five," as we went all the way back to the 12th century; learned of a cure (yes, a CURE!) for vampiredom; witnessed Elena lose control of both her body and perhaps her heart; and discovered a key connection between Connor and Bonnie's new mentor.
And Rebekah got staked. And Stefan struck an alliance and Klaus. And a hybrid was beheaded. Yes, it was an eventful episode...
And with Stefan being forced to strike a deal with the devil (Klaus' words, not mine!) in order to live on the prayer of saving Elena from the pain of her first kill, please indulge me as I rundown the installment via song titles from classic rock band Bon Jovi...
LIVIN' ON A PRAYER Stefan was at his sweetest and his most rational tonight. As usual, Damon was basking in the moment, raving and drinking and dancing, while Stefan was looking at the big picture. He's like a chess player, always thinking many moves ahead.
In this case, that meant playing out Elena's new state to its logical conclusion. She will eventually kill. She will eventually turn off her humanity in response. And she therefore will be lost forever. Hence, the deal with Klaus and the desperation to cure Elena of what will soon make her... no longer Elena.
It was a beautiful sentiment all around, capped by a speech to Rebekah that, granted, may have been manipulative, but was also undoubtedly truthful. Stefan would cure himself in order to die alongside his one true love. Pass the Kleenex and come on, people. That's awfully sweet stuff.
YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME Go ahead, laugh at the girl who loved too easily, Rebekah cried right before her brother daggered her once again. The show has been steady and consistent in portraying this Original as someone who simply wants to be loved, and tonight's flashback to Alexander served its purpose well.
Credit the writers and/or credit Claire Holt, but Rebekah has always maintained an air of vulnerability and sadness, even at her bitchiest and most conniving. It was impossible not to feel for her here. I have no doubt she'll be back, but her multi-layered character - of pride and anger and bitterness and loneliness - will be missed until then.
BAD MEDICINE That's pretty much what Elena was served at the frat party. Who really thought it was a good idea to turn a new vampire loose at "douche central?!?" Aside from the danger of exposure for her and Damon, it was akin to dangling fresh meat in front of a ravenous Doberman. Pounds and pounds of fresh meat. I fail to see how this was meant, in any way, to "teach" Elena how to feed, as Damon claimed.
The main takeaway, of course, is that she's a lot more like Damon than she wants to believe. That heartfelt monologue to Stefan at the end may have been true, perhaps she does not want to be a member of a "predatory species," but she was also referring to her feelings for Damon, the ones that simply won't go away.
Elena doesn't want to admit that she has a lot more in common with Damon now - but it's safe to assume this will be a realization that she won't be able to avoid for much longer. None of the sentimental words Stefan utters will match the raw connection that now exists between Elena and Damon.
HAVE A NICE DAY I'm pretty much assured to have one any time Elijah makes an appearance. How frickin awesome is that guy?!?
SOMETHING FOR THE PAIN Yes, there's now a cure. It's out there. It's real. And it gives The Vampire Diaries the sort of through-line at which this show excels. It's at its best when there's a goal driving each crazy episode, something to tie together all the twists and turns on a weekly basis.
How did we get there? Or how WILL we get there? It's complicated: Connor has a tattoo... which he somehow got from a soldier upon his death... and it grows every time he makes a kill... and it's a map to this cure... but it's only readable via a sword that is buried with Alexander... and Connor was sent to Mystic Falls by Professor Shane, the man who took over for Grams at the local college.
That's a great deal of plot, and yet it's fairly easy to digest. I'm fully on board. I'm dying to know more about this professor, I very much buy both Klaus and Stefan's motivations for wanting the cure and by making Connor a pawn in the professor's game, the show has opened up any number of possibilities.
Who knows what else is out there, or what Shane motives may be. Remember: we still don't even know how the Council and that fire plays into any of this. Bon Jovi once sang about a "Two Story Town," but there's no conceivable way to count the number of stories now at play in Mystic Falls. I love it.
Just how action-packed was this episode? I scarcely even noticed that my girl Caroline was absent.
BLAZE OF GLORY Really, is there any series in the history of television that goes out every single week in one of these? Another terrific hour tonight, one that promises the take the show - considering Bonnie's new apprenticeship, the agenda of her teacher, Elena and Damon's growing bond and Klaus and Stefan's secret mission - in a whole new direction.
Check out the official promo for next week's "The Killer" and sound off: WHAT DID EVERYONE ELSE THINK?
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Vampire Diaries, Reviews
Speaking of things related to the "Rainbow" Why would klaus have Conner bound to the rack with no shirt on ? lol...thats just a tad fruity in my book...And yeah i get that Jeremy needed to see all the tats,but still !! He could of had a shirt on then Klaus could of tore it off once Jer was in front of him....It just kinda looked like a gay sexual torture chamber when Klaus opened up those doors.
I know this will sound gay but did anyone notice how clean shaven the chests of the five were. You could really tell that whoever wrote and directed this episode were real idiots. No one in the twelfth century shaved their chests. Its so ridic. No wonder CW shows are held with such low regard. I do like that they are bring this cure storyline which is similar to the book with the whole kitsune and that flower thing that can be eaten to cure VAMPIRISM.
Forgot to mention earlier: maybe Stefan thinks he can outwit Klaus and plans to use the Cure on that Original as well, so he wouldn't be a threat to Saint Elena anymore.
But if that's really the plan ... I'm already worried on whom it will backfire!
Elena..Elena..Elena!!! always whines.You are a vampire now, just get yourself over to it. I really like the whole idea of flashbacks. Originals are way better than whining elena. I miss caroline, she is pleasant.Stefan made a big mistake.He shouldn't made a deal with klaus.Overall,i'm looking forward to the whole concept of cure.
I loved this episode!!!!!!! Damon and Elena scenes(and i am not a delena team) were sensual funny and higly entertaining! Loved relaxed Elena for a change-until her usual re-emerged the secong Boonie appeared! Stefan was solid as always but i didn't like he double-crossed Rebekah!Professor+Bonnie..Professor+Connor= Gold! I also thought Boonie was extremely beautiful tonight! Rebekah has become one of my favourites truly.. Everytime i see her my screens lights up- The highlight of the episode for me was though..Klaus!!! He was in half of the scenes- he was looking better than ever,he old threatning self,sexy,funny,charming,his tear when daggering rebekah broke my heart! I am not sure how i feelabout the cure- but i don't know without it how many things are left to say on the show long-term. I also missed Caroline- I want a Klaroline scene! Common people-pleaseee!
I noticed there's alot of people who think Stefan's useless and dumb, I thought I was the only person who didnt treat stefan as a saint. Pleased to see
Stefan is HANDS-DOWN the most dumbest character on the show, a brick makes better decisions than him. I think all that gel he puts in his hair seeped into his head and killed tons of brain cells. How is it last season he's gung-ho on killing Klaus so he won't use Elena as a blood bag and now he's making deals with him!? What type of 180 is that?! Elena just needs to lose it and turn it off, then ditch Stefan. I liked her partying and feeding, it's what vampires DO! She wants to have fun!
I think Stefan was a total coward, never mind that he trying to save Elana, as usual with no results. He allowed Klaus to kidnap and threaten Jeremy and then betrayed Rebakah. For All his bravado, he hasn't saved Elana from anything. Please dagger him, I'm sick of his constant weak attempts to be a hero and a traitor to Elana and Damon.
I was hugely disappointed with this episode. Rebekah and Stefan's 50 Shades of Grey reference were the highlights of this one. It was nice to see Elena let loose and have fun dancing away with Damon at the party. As much as I enjoy that things are typically face paced in this show, they definitely blew it by rushing through the party scene. Elena's struggles through the transition could have been delved into more and given Elena even greater depth and made us feel more for her but instead Bonnie buzz kill stepped in and with one look ruined the whole experience and turned her back into her whiny self. She doesn't need to turn off her humanity but she does need to accept who she truly is which is someone who does like to have fun and enjoy life and not someone who wants to sit around crying and worrying all the time. Damon knows she has it in her to balance the two, and he's trying to show her it is possible while Stefan has no faith in her and is now on his noble quest to find 'the cure'. Then to top it all off by having Stefan screw up Damon and Elena's time on the porch (which is sacred ground for them) just added insult to injury in this episode. I'm team Delena all the way, but I'm so tired of him getting the shaft. He so deserves better.
I think that Elena fights the fight every woman is fighting only differently, should she go for the bad guy or the guy who is good for her, wants whats best for her and not for himself. Damon is just selfish, he treats Elena like one of his little slaves, he doesn't really love her deep down like Stefan does, he just wants to have fun with her, he is not able to see the long-term future for Elena other than yes she is a Vampire, so we just have fun and behave like frat boys because that is the life of a Vampire meaningless. Damon would never say that he would become human for Elena. Remember, it was Damon who wanted to be a vampire in the first place although Stefan had to convince him to drink blood and Damon had the desire to be with Katherine, not Stefan. I think in the end, despite his old days; Stefan is still more human than Damon, more importantly he wants to be human and have a normal life. Its his goal to grow and learn, to have a purpose, even grow old and have kids with Elena. Damon is one of those guy who always wants to have fun and never grow old because its just to "freaking awesome" to be 21 and in college all the time. So go Stelena, I hope they end up together for good and that in the end both Elena and Stefan decide to become human when they find the cure... BTW@Ian Somerhalder: I love your acting as reading from your tweets you are the complete opposite of Damon in real life!

Meeting the Needs of Minority Communities Near the End-of-Life: Talking Points by Gwendolyn W. London, D.Min.
July 18, 2000
The D.C. Partnership to Improve End-of-Life Care is one of 21 organizations throughout the country that are dedicated to organizing communities to work together to improve the care of the dying. I have been personally involved in end-of-life care since 1982 when I became a volunteer at Hospice of Washington, the first inpatient hospice facility in the country. Since that time, my work as a hospice chaplain, a hospital chaplain and as Associate Minister of an 1800 member urban church, has provided me with many rich opportunities to minister to persons during their last days of life. From these various professional opportunities and from my own personal experience as an African-American woman in ministry, I have formed what I think is a first-hand perspective on the issues of minorities dealing with care at the end of life.
I believe that lack of trust is the major factor in the way that members of minority communities interface with the health care system at all stages of the life spectrum and particularly at the end of life. Since my background has been primarily in working in the African-American community, I would like to start from that frame of reference but I believe that many of the factors that come into play can be extrapolated to other minority groups.
Many studies have shown that African-Americans are less likely that white Americans to receive a wide range of medical services, including potentially life saving surgical procedures. In fact, the pattern of receiving less than optimal health care starts before birth and extends throughout the dying process. National statistics document higher infant mortality rates, inadequate preventive care, disparities in recommendations for medical treatments and higher death rates for diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and AIDS. Because of this pattern of lack of access to health care as well as well-documented historical incidents of research and treatment abuse, minority patients and family members are less likely to feel that members of the medical establishment can be trusted to serve their best interests or even try to understand their feelings and concerns when a medical crisis arises. Because this attitude of suspicion and mistrust is usually unspoken, and because it is very different from the way that most physicians think that they are viewed, it becomes a barrier that is often difficult to identify and even more difficult to overcome.
The primary result of this attitude of distrust is a very strong reluctance to give up aggressive treatment options at the end of life, even when palliative care or hospice care may be more appropriate. By aggressive treatment I mean the continued utilization of the wide range of invasive medical treatments that are geared toward cure, even when the patient's disease has clearly reached a point where cure is no longer a possibility.
Many older members of minority communities have not traditionally had access to health care. Therefore, when they are finally eligible to receive benefits under Medicare they have a very strong desire to receive everything that the health care system has to offer. When asked to forgo aggressive treatment for terminal conditions or when advised that hospice or palliative care may be more appropriate, they are unwilling to give up their hard earned entitlement. I have worked with patients who have been adamant in their refusal to consider admission to a hospice until they have had that one last hospitalization during which the physician indicates that there is nothing more that can be done. Because minority patients have had so little access to health care, extraordinary measures are viewed as acceptable and many patients will express that they want everything done even if that means that they end up on life support machines, an attitude that often conflicts with the view of the health provider.
Because of the high incidence of drug addition in many minority communities, there is a great ambivalence regarding the use of narcotics for pain relief. Many patients have first hand experience in their families or their communities so the efforts of the health professional to encourage the use of narcotics for pain control are met with suspicion and resistance even in terminal conditions that are accompanied by a great deal of pain. I have heard patients express that there is a conspiracy in this country to control the African-American community by turning everyone into drug addicts, so other methods of pain control often have to be tried before narcotics can even be suggested even when the stronger medication is clearly indicated.
From a financial perspective, the dying person is often the sole or primary provider of income from some form of pension, so the death of the patient creates a severe threat to the family's financial well-being. Therefore the patient and family focus is on extending life through all possible means rather than allowing the illness to progress along a natural course, again an unspoken concern not usually understood by health providers.
Many members of minority communities equate the acceptance of hospice or palliative treatment with giving up on God's chance to perform a miracle or cure. Believing that only God can determine when a person will die, they are not willing to accept the fact that a family member is dying and often express their reluctance to forego aggressive treatment with the sentiment, "Where there is life, there is hope." Because a theology of suffering is often an integral part of the religion practiced by many minority groups, a physician's efforts to press for palliative care as a method of relieving pain is often seen as the physician's attempts to play God. This is interpreted as a violation of the patient's personal covenant with God, a major taboo for persons of color.
Spiritual Care plays a very important part in the lives of minority patients and families. By spiritual care I mean the multiplicity of religions and faith traditions present in the minority community. Because many patients belong to spiritual communities that they or other family members have helped to establish, it is not unusual for a patient to have been a part of a specific faith group or spiritual community for more than 40 years. Because this faith perspective is central to the world view of the minority patient and family it tends to influence all considerations and decisions in the event of a health crisis. This is particularly true at the end of life because in the absence of the possibility of a medical cure, the patient is forced to fall back on their belief in a God who is all-knowing and all-powerful and this belief takes precedence over the rational, logic that is usually applied by the members of the medical establishment. Again, the inherent distrust makes it difficult if not impossible to rely on a physician when the physician's view is diametrically opposed to the faith of the patient and family beliefs.
A number of things can be done to better address the concerns of minority communities relating to end of life care in the future. First, we need to develop a comprehensive physician education effort to sensitize physicians and other members of the health care system to the pervasive impact of the unspoken attitude of distrust that is an integral part of minority perceptions about health care, particularly as it relates to care at the end of life. At a very minimum, health care providers need an in-depth orientation in the values and belief systems of minority patients, particularly as it relates to palliative care. It is important that this orientation be conducted by persons who are representative of the minority culture who can translate the unspoken values and perceptions that come into play.
Secondly, we should develop an extensive physician education program that allows physicians to explore the role of religion/spirituality and how those values can often conflict with the values of medicine and psychology can play an important part in that process. I also believe that there is a clear need for research that compares and contrasts the values of medicine with the values of religion, particularly as it relates to the meaning of life, and then additional research to explore how addressing the difference in values can lead to greater understanding.
Third, because African-American patients often seek out African-American physicians who agree with their mistrust and suspicion of palliative care, there is a need to develop more palliative care training programs geared toward African-Americans and other minority physicians so that these physicians will begin to understand and appreciate the true value of care that does not see curative treatment as the ultimate goal. One example of such a program is the program at North General Hospital in Harlem New York that is run by Dr. Richard Payne.
Fourth, we need to work to revamp the Medicare system to allow reimbursement for palliative care in order to remove the stigma attached to the more traditional hospice benefit provision, specifically, the 6 month prognosis provision.
Fifth, we need to a initiate a broad-based public education program to inform persons about the real limitations of aggressive medical treatment and how palliative/hospice care is often the most humane approach to care at the end of life. This effort needs to be culturally sensitive and include materials that are specifically designed to reach members of the minority communities.
Finally, let me say that from all of my years of experience with hospice, what I have learned is that patients and families are generally very grateful for the care that they receive because of the incredible level of support that it provides. Most families that have experienced this care are amazed at how peaceful a Hospice death can be and express their desire to have a similarly peaceful death surrounded by their loved ones. They especially appreciate the wide variety of support that they receive from the many professional disciplines that are there to assist them, not only the medical professionals like the doctor, the nurse and the home health aide, but especially those disciplines that address the psycho social concerns, the social worker, the chaplain and the volunteer. Patients and families recognize that this is a wonderful model designed to speak to the body, mind and spirit. I have also been told by patients that they especially appreciate what they describe as an unconditional love and that they were amazed to experience the trust, respect and appreciation that many have never received from the health care system before. This is the kind of experience that can go a long way to overcoming the mistrust and suspicion that often characterizes the experience of the minority at the end of life.

The Union for Reform Judaism and the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR) have been outspoken in their support of the peace process. Throughout the Reform Movement's history, in times of peace and in times of strife, we have spoken out in unequivocal and unconditional support of the State of Israel and her people. This support stems from a love of the land and an understanding that the destinies of the Jewish people and of Israel are intertwined in an unbreakable connection (URJ Resolution, Support for Israel, 2009)
At the 2001 Union Biennial in Boston, the Union passed a resolution reaffirming its support of Israel and an American role in the facilitation of the peace process. Earlier in the year, the Union Executive Board passed a resolution stating that "the way to end the conflict is for Israel and the Palestinians to reach a negotiated agreement, based on mutual recognition that provides security for both sides."
In June 2004, the Union passed a resolution on unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, the security fence, and administrative home demolitons. The resolution supports the Disengagement plan and calls for an implementation of the plan that facilitates a return to a political process between Israel and the Palestinians. The resolution also supports the building of a security fence to protect Israeli citizens from terror in a way that minimizes undue hardship for Palestinians, and opposes administrative home demolitions and urges the Israeli government to rescind this policy. The resolution also reiterates the Reform Jewish Movement's commitment to a two-state solution as the surest way to guarantee the security of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.

Verizon Reports Quarterly Earnings, Growth in Wireless
Quick Reply
Verizon today reports its first quarter 2009 results. Verizon Wireless delivered strong net customer additions and sustained high margins. In the first quarter 2009:
- Wireless retail (non-wholesale) gross customer additions (excluding customers acquired in the Alltel acquisition) were strong, up 32.5 percent over the prior year. On a pro forma basis, retail gross customer additions were up 4.3 percent.
- Verizon Wireless had 86.6 million customers at the end of the quarter, an increase of 28.8 percent year over year. This includes 13.2 million net total customer additions, after conforming adjustments, from the Alltel acquisition. Verizon Wireless is the largest wireless company in the U.S. in terms of total customers and revenues.
- The company also has the most retail customers of any U.S. wireless company and continued to grow its high-quality base, adding 1.3 million net retail customers (excluding customers acquired in the Alltel acquisition) for a total of 84.1 million retail customers.
- Verizon Wireless had industry-leading retail post-paid churn of 1.14 percent; total churn was an industry-leading 1.47 percent.
- Revenues totaled $15.1 billion, up 29.6 percent year over year and up 9.0 percent on a pro forma basis. Service revenues were $13.1 billion, up 28.9 percent year over year and up 10.5 percent on a pro forma basis, with continued growing demand for data services. Data revenue was $3.6 billion in the first quarter 2009, up 56.2 percent, or 36.8 percent on a pro forma basis, from the first quarter 2008.
- Service ARPU (average monthly service revenue per user) decreased 0.3 percent from the similar period a year ago, to $50.74. Total data ARPU grew by 20.8 percent to $14.16. On a pro forma basis, service ARPU increased 1.1 percent, and total data ARPU increased 25.2 percent.
- Wireless operating income margin, adjusted for acquisition-related charges and integration costs, was 28.2 percent, up 30 basis points year over year. Adjusted on the same basis, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margin on service revenues (non-GAAP) was 46.0 percent, an increase of 110 basis points year over year and 60 basis points on a pro forma basis.
Additional Highlights
Verizon Wireless
* At the end of the first quarter 2009, retail customers (postpaid and prepaid) represented 97 percent of the company's base.
* Verizon Wireless continued to lead the industry in cost efficiency. Monthly cash expense per customer (non-GAAP) decreased in the first quarter 2009 to $27.38, from $28.05 in the comparable period in 2008.
* In the first quarter, data revenues were nearly 28.0 percent of all service revenues, up from 23.0 percent in the first quarter 2008.
* Verizon Wireless continued to extend the reach of its broadband network, which is the nation's largest and most reliable 3G (third generation) network, now covering approximately 281 million people.
* In February, Verizon Wireless selected Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent as vendors to supply the infrastructure that will enable the company to become the first wireless company to offer commercial LTE-based service in the U.S., starting in 2010. Field trials are under way.
* In a move that gives consumer and business customers greater value and more control over how they use their plan minutes, the company introduced Friends & Family, which lets customers identify any five or 10 wireless or landline numbers as a calling group. Minutes used when placing or receiving calls to anyone in the Friends & Family calling group will not count against customers' plan minutes.
* During the quarter, Verizon Wireless customers sent or received an average of 1.4 billion text messages each day, totaling more than 127 billion text messages in the first quarter. Customers also sent nearly 2.1 billion picture/video messages and completed 48.6 million music and video downloads during the quarter.

People will tell you that everything changes in a marriage after you have a baby, and mostly that's true. But it's not all bad! Yes, that new little person in your lives alters how you see each other (and the world) in copious and profound ways. And yet, there's a constant: Your husband is always going to be that same man -- your best friend and confidante -- you fell in love with before a certain egg was fertilized, and that's a good thing. Here's what happens to many couples when baby's on board.The first signs of the conjugal bed turning into the family bed start when your pregnant belly starts to encroach on your husband's side. But once baby arrives, this once-cozy place turns into a hub of activity involving one very needy third party. In the beginning you're likely either nursing in bed or abandoning your husband there to snooze in the rocker. Even if you swore you'd never co-sleep, chances are good that baby will end up in the bed with one or both of you. Either way, your bed is not what it used to be.

After helping Facebook become one of the most popular destinations on the Internet, three of the social network's early employees now have a more benevolent mission in mind. Phil Fung, Julia Lam, and Franklyn Chien launched the A3 Foundation (Asian American Artists), which is focused on promoting and supporting the talents of Asian Americans in television, film, and online digital media. This week, the A3 Foundation partnered with the Sundance Institute to give their vision a new stage.

Is 'Charlie Casanova' First Film Conceived On Facebook?
Terry Morgan claims that his Charlie Casanova was the first film to be entirely conceived on Facebook — a method that proves that the good fortune of social networking is endless, and you only have to use your imagination, intuition or whatever to pull off the undoable.
Warner Brothers Now Renting Movies On Facebook
Warner Brothers has leapfrogged competitors like Netflix in debuting rentals on Facebook.
Catfish Shares A Wonderfully Human Facebook Story
Last night I had the opportunity to attend a screening of the soon-to-be-released movie, "Catfish". It was an insightful look at social networks from the human perspective, told through the story of a guy and a family that he meets through Facebook. It was both touching, entertaining, and pretty much every other human emotion all in one. Rather than being like the high-budget and sensationalized Facebook movie that will hit theaters later this year, Catfish illustrates not only just how human social networks really are, but also shows how film production has become significantly more accessible.

ListenFirst's DAR and Why Social TV Analytics Should Include Wikipedia Engagement
ListenFirst Media – a data and analytics company providing insights for brands – last week launched a syndicated rating system for fan engagement with television and film that will be offered on a subscription basis to networks, studios, agencies, and advertisers. Currently, more than 40 major studios, broadcast networks and cable channels, including A+E Networks, AMC Networks, and Universal Pictures, have signed on as launch partners.
While we have seen analytics companies attempt to create social TV metrics for networks, ListenFirst's 'Digital Audience Ratings' (DAR) will also be creating its metrics for movies to help film distributors adjust their marketing strategies on the fly. On the TV front, DAR will give insight into which shows fans are engaging with on a daily basis, regardless of whether they are being watched on major broadcast networks or Netflix, and regardless if they are being watched in real-time or in a time-shifted setting.

At the end of the work day today my vacation will start and by this evening I will be in New York City enjoying all the city has to offer.
Being a sports guy, my list of things to do in the Big Apple include a trip to Madison Square Garden to see the Knicks play, as well as Yankee Stadium for a Yankees game.
If time permits, I may even try to take a train down to Boston to visit Fenway Park and see the Green Monster in person.
For the full column, see Friday's Malvern Daily Record.
The 2012-2013 season was a good one for the Malvern Lady Leopards basketball team.
Not only did they win the 4A state championship with a record of 32-2, they were virtually unstoppable the rest of the season as well, picking up win after win and tournament title after tournament title.
Some of the accolades that came the Lady Leopards' way during the season included being the champions of the Spa City Shootout, 7-4A Conference champion, district champion and regional champion.
Individual Lady Leopards also were also recognized for their play during the year.
All my life I have been a huge basketball fan (Arkansas for most of that time), but I have always had a core group of teams that I absolutely despised.
It didn't matter who these teams were playing, I always rooted for their opponent (unless of course it was one of my other hated teams).
But once I started to think about it, I noticed that all of the teams I had a grudge against had something in common — aside from being the perennial "super teams" — the primary color for each of these schools was blue.
For the full column, see Thursday's Malvern Daily Record.
The Malvern Country Club began its 2013 Friday Night Scramble season on Friday, March 29.
On the second night of play (Friday, April 5), Frances Diffie recorded her first hole-in-one on the 12th hole.
As for the remainder of the tournament, first place finishes went to Reggie English, Ronnie English, Fred Simmons, Roy Honeycutt and Derek Baker.
For the full story, see Thursday's Malvern Daily Record.
The Bismarck Lady Lions softball team had an up and down week this week.
On Monday, they went on the road and blasted Prescott 14-3, but they fell to Benton Harmony Grove 4-2 in a game that was shortened to five innings because of lightning concerns on Tuesday.
In the Prescott game, the Lady Lions wasted little time asserting their dominance, taking a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Prescott would answer in the bottom half of the inning to cut the lead to 2-1.
From there it was all Bismarck.
For the full story, see Wednesday's Malvern Daily Record.
The Magnet Cove Panthers baseball team picked up a couple of wins recently.
On Tuesday, March 26, the Panthers took a trip to Woodlawn and returned with a 1-0 win.
Junior pitcher Conner Wells picked up the win, striking out 16 batters in just six innings of work.
Freshman Josh Smeltzer's offense helped the Panthers take the lead for good in the seventh inning.
I love sports, I really do. I love everything about them, with the glaring exception of one thing — the over-increasing number of rules being made each year that serve no real purpose other than to change the sports we love.
Today, I thought I would take you through my own personal list of rules that I would do cartwheels in the street for if they were abolished.
• The charge circle
In basketball recently, they added a little semicircle underneath the basket to show where a defender is too close to the goal for a charge to be called.
The Bismarck Lions baseball team took to the road on Monday to face the Prescott Curley Wolves, coming out on the wrong end of an 8-7 decision.
Bismarck started strong, scoring three runs in the top of the first inning and another in the top of the second inning to take a 4-0 lead.
Prescott would fight back with a run of their own in the bottom of the third and again with a run in the bottom of the fourth to cut the lead to 4-2.
For the full story, see Tuesday's Malvern Daily Record.
On Friday, the Malvern Leopards baseball team played host to conference foe Arkansas Baptist and came away with a 6-3 victory.
Arkansas Baptist struck first, scoring a run in the top of the second inning to take a 1-0 lead.
The Leopards would get on the board for the first time in the bottom of the fourth inning with a run of their own to tie the game.
Arkansas Baptist would cut into the lead slightly with a run of their own in the top of the fifth, but from there it was all Malvern.
I had no dog in the fight leading into last night's basketball national championship game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Michigan Wolverines.
All I was wanting was a good, close game, and boy, did I ever get just that.
I've been going through all of the national championship games I've ever seen and I cannot recall a final that I have enjoyed more than that one since 1994 (for obvious reasons).

I found Jeremy Williamson on Twitter. But if you read fitness magazines, watch Drop Dead Diva on Lifetime television, or follow the annual "Model Universe" competitions, you may have run into this type 1 diabetic hottie already. Jeremy is a 34-year-old native of Augusta, GA, who attended bible college in Tulsa, OK, and worked as a youth minister for many years. In 2006, he started doing a little modeling on the side. Then on a lark, he entered a contest called the World's Fittest Model, and placed as one of the top 15 male fitness models in the nation. Since, he's transformed himself into a supermodel, a passionate spokesperson for a healthy lifestyle, and a diabetes activist.
Today, in addition to TV spots and print ads, Jeremy supports JDRF walks and gives motivational speeches at diabetes events around the country. (Check out his Road 2 ADA blog) He's currently working on a book about his life's story with diabetes (diagnosed at age 13).
"I wanted to be more than just a face or a physique. I wanted to be a voice. I realized diabetes was my challenge and I know that if I could inspire people with what I had been through, it would be something worth doing," Jeremy told a local reporter recently.
When I spoke to him on the phone last week, he talked a mile-a-minute, in a cute Southern drawl that was more homey than Hollywood, and would never bring to mind the "surfer-dude" look he sports in glossies, if you only ever met him over the phone.
{Oh, and sorry Ladies: he's taken. Jeremy's wife is a 'Master Cosmetologist' who's helped him perfect his new look. Jeremy is also dad to a 13-year-old daughter from a previous marriage.}
Here's a synopsis of "Jmiah" quotes (Jeremy's stage name), on what he stands for and how diabetes has shaped his life:
On his diagnosis -
"I was the kid that when he was diagnosed, didn't want to tell anybody. Most of the kids in the 7th & 8th grade knew anyway. But when I was in High School I hid it. Today it's more socially acceptable. But 21 years ago… I had a girlfriend, and she broke up with me when she found out I had diabetes. I was devastated. I decided I'll take care of myself, but I won't tell anybody."
On being so "out" with his diabetes now -
"I was doing all these things. I won 6th place in the Model America competition in Hollywood. I won 2nd place in another competition in Atlanta. And a week after that I placed so well in the Fitness Model International competition. Then I was on NBC's Identity game show. In June '07 I won 2nd place in the Model Universe competition in Miami. The guy who won 1st place was the BowFlex guy!
"Then I realized, I'm type 1 diabetic. Nobody knows this. So I started talking about diabetes, and that's when things really started changing — my life got really interesting. I started getting these offers to be a spokesperson for diabetes products. I really wanted to inspire people to success.
"I like to say I'm like the attainable. I'm not a bodybuilder. I weigh 180 lbs, I'm 5'11. Anybody can look like me if they work at it. I don't do steroids or any of that. I'm type 1 diabetic!"
On the job description of a "fitness model" -
"They focus on fitness magazines, fitness events and products, and extreme sports. I do mountain biking, trail riding, trail running, and I plan to get involved in the Cyclebetes tour. But I'm more of model that happens to be fit, because I do commercial modeling, acting, hosting, and other stuff. I also do a lot of fitness magazines, articles, videos, etc. But I do more than just that because I like to work."
On his "fitness for all" message -
"I want to inspire the average person to get up off their tail. Eat clean. It doesn't mean I don't have cheat days – I do, but they're scheduled cheat days. Then I have to check (BG) a lot more — especially the next day, it effects you. I love to teach people how to do this stuff."
"Just get up and be more active! My A1c runs between 6 and 6.5. That's where my doctor likes it to be. He says if it's under 6, with all my workouts I'll bottom out too much."
On teaching his own child to live healthfully -
"I'm not strict on her about how she eats. I just make sure she drinks plenty of water, because water flushes your body, and I tell her to watch the sugars you take in (watch the candy!) and stay active."
"The way I view it, it's like if you put miles and miles on your car in a short amount of time and you don't give it the right fuel and take care of it, it'll break down. That's what's happening to a lot of our bodies, our pancreases these days."
On insulin pumps and CGMs -
"I've never been on the pump. Pumps are awesome. But I've done really well on injections, and I'm so active I wasn't that excited about something attached to me all the time. I did try the OmniPod earlier this year, but within two hours I knocked that thing off my arm."
"But I am about to get me a CGM, because I think those things are just freakin' awesome. After I've seen other people with these, and they seem just like great tools."
"My feeling is: if it's your thing and it speaks your language and it works for you, then do it – it's all about YOU!"
On his upcoming book -
"It's called 'Life After Diagnosis' – about my life, my struggles, and my successes with diabetes."
"This is my story. Everybody has a story. We should get out there and tell them, because people are inspired by stories."
Jeremy's book will be self-published in January on Createspace.com. He's looking for corporate sponsors for the book, btw — "ideally a CGM company!"
