PHAZAR CORP Reports Fourth Quarter And Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Results
PHAZAR CORP (NASDAQ: ANTP) designs, manufactures and markets antennas, towers, support structures, masts and communication accessories worldwide. Today, PHAZAR CORP announces the results of operations for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2012.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2012
Revenues of $1,621,172 for the fourth quarter decreased 6% compared to $1,728,076 for the same three month period last year. Sales from our shipboard product line were down $577,245 during the fourth quarter compared to the same period last year, offset by a $432,734 increase in commercial wireless sales quarter over quarter. The gross profit margin for the quarter, at 40% is down from 44% gross profit margin reported in the comparable period last year.
The $130,268, or 17% increase in sales and administration expense reflects a $108,000 increase in the level of marketing wages in the fourth quarter compared to the same quarter in prior year. Research and development costs of $105,408 were up $41,660 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $63,748 in the prior year. The increase represents continued product development for the commercial wireless product line.As of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company recorded a $273,861 valuation allowance on the amount of the non-current deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss carry forward, as it is more likely than not that some portion of this non-current deferred tax asset may not be realized. There was no valuation allowance provided for the same period in prior year. In management's estimation, the remaining deferred tax assets and liabilities will reverse over time and therefore, are not offset by a valuation allowance. The Company recognized a net loss of $480,047, or $.20 per share for the fourth quarter, compared to a net loss of $52,060, or $.02 per share, in last year's fiscal fourth quarter.

Fischer Crossings is back on the agenda at the Coweta County Commission. A public hearing scheduled for April 5 may or may not lead to a resolution of the issue related to the placement of a Kohl's department store, other retailers and ball fields on the portion of the Fischer Crossings commercial development located on the northeast corner of Fischer Road and Ga. Highway 34 in east Coweta County. Read More»
An effort to steer Fayette County's remaining transportation sales tax funds toward the East Fayetteville Bypass — and away from the West Fayetteville Bypass — was introduced last week by Fayette County Commissioner Steve Brown and then tabled by the full commission. Read More»
Taking advantage of lower interest rates and other factors, the Fayette County Commission voted last week to refinance the county's justice center and jail expansion.
In doing so, the county will see a $2.6 million savings this year along with another $1 million plus over the next three fiscal years, the commission was told Thursday night. Read More»

Coweta County road crews on Wednesday began working on a collapsed drain pipe on Rawson Road that has required the temporary closure of the street. The pipe is expected to be replaced and the road re-opened on March 16.
Coweta County Road Department Director William Cawthorne in a March 4 letter said the cross drain pipe had completely collapsed and is causing the roadway to be undermined which could lead to the collapse of the roadway.
Approximately a quarter-mile in length, Rawson Road intersects with Bob Smith Road approximately one mile north of Willis Road in east Coweta. Read More»
A seven-mile road resurfacing project for portions of Ga. Highway 34 in Newnan and east Coweta County was announced Monday by the Georgia Dept. of Transportation (DOT). At nearly $5 million, the project was one of 31 approved at a total cost of $57 million.
The Hwy. 34 project will extend from Jackson Street in Newnan to east of Ga. Highway 154 in the Thomas Crossroads area.
The 6.99-mile project low bid for $4,879,800 was awarded to Marietta-based C.W. Matthews Contracting Co, Inc. Read More»
Fayette County Commission Chairman Herb Frady said he will not yet commit to supporting an initiative to implement a 10-county regional transportation sales tax.
Instead, Frady wants to see the final list of projects that would be funded in Fayette County with sales tax revenue. That list, however, won't be finalized for a matter of several months.
"If we don't get the money back that we're putting into it, we won't support, and you'll know that before you have to vote," Frady said.
Fayetteville Mayor Ken Steele has taken the same stance. Read More»
Last week the community celebrated as ground was officially broken for the 5,000-square-foot expansion of the Fayette County Library in downtown Fayetteville.
The expansion will add about 1,000 square feet added to the large meeting room including a stage. The other 4,000 square feet will be added to create a new reading room on the opposite side of the library, which will also create more room for bookshelves, tables, study areas and several meeting rooms for private groups to study together.

According to Fayette County Commissioner Steve Brown, there is hope after all for improvements to the often-clogged interchange of Interstate 85 and Ga. Highway 74. Read More»
Work crews on Monday will begin work that will lead to the replacement of the bridge on Moore Road at White Oak Creek. A detour using Gordon Road to Martin Mill Road to Scoggin Road is being advised for the 17-month project.
The bridge replacement on Moore Road over White Oak Creek Tributary requires that the road be closed for removal and replacement of the bridge, said Coweta County spokesperson Patricia Palmer. The closure will begin March 7 and the road will be reopened by August 7, 2011. Read More»

As for Halloween, we British are too reserved to do fun things like dress up, so I have never really had a halloween before, looking forward to my first here in Canada.
As for fall, there are a couple of things I am looking forward to, reaching 12 weeks, the leaves turning, my Dad coming to visit, going back to the UK for my best friend's wedding - there is so much I am getting excited now thinking about it!!

I probably plan on being a pregnant cheer leader. It was the best I could come up with being pregnant during halloween.
My favorite thing about fall is Halloween. It's my favorite holiday. I just love to see the kids in costume and I love scary movies. The strangest part about it though is I would prefer to watch a childrens or teens halloween show like on Disney channel or something like that than an actual scary movie on hallowen.

Ooh, maybe I can find a cutie little pumpkin outfit for my little one who'll be just a few weeks old on Halloween!
I'm looking forward to meeting my new baby this fall. I'm also looking forward to much cooler weather here in Georgia and getting my pre-pregnancy figure back. This whole looking like a sphere thing is a bit old now.

Sarah Michelle Gellar has given birth to her first son!
The star welcomed a baby boy, with hubby Freddie Prinze Jr., in LA this past week, a rep confirms in a published report.
"It's the greatest thing that ever happened to me," the actress has said about motherhood.
This is the second child for Sarah and Freddie, whose daughter, Charlotte Grace, turned 3 this month.
The couple first met while filming 1997's I Know What You Did Last Summer. Though they didn't rev up a romance straight away, they began dating three years later and tied the knot in September 2002.

Sonic Reducer
Daft Punk Random Access Memories (Columbia Records)
Anyone with a fast-enough computer can make a "real" album, and those recording artists with the necessary funding should push the limits of studio recording. Another Random Access Memories' draw is its collaborations—including Chic's Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder, the indisputable father of EDM. Lead single "Get Lucky" reveals the promise of this vision, a realization of groove from artists renowned for magical sampling. Rodgers brings nearly all the funk present, and the single displays their typical genius, wiggling basslines. Soundwise, DP never sounded so alive, but even with dynamic production, the music isn't body-moving. Moroder's arpeggio transports us from 1977 and all is well—until sappy strings arrive and derail the midnight express into an Incubus-esque break. The ballads are cloying, and most of the orchestration calls to mind smooth jazz or Andrew Lloyd Webber. The effort invested in this work went into fulfilling a manifesto rather than songcraft; fans may look forward to the remixes. (Ehren Salazar)
The Handsome Family Wilderness (Carrot Top Records)
The poet's instinct to distinguish her craft from that of the songwriter has always seemed pretentious and unnecessary. Listen to the lyrics of Burqueña Rennie Sparks—half of the outstanding Handsome Family—to disprove that forced schism. The husband-and-wife duo has those words—along with Brett's warm, haunted voice and that wall of Americana sound—to thank for their two-decade-and-counting longevity. This time out, we're invited deep into their Wilderness, a dark musical bestiary of 12 brilliant songs. In "Flies," the hungry titular buggers buzz around the carcass of Custer, from whom "blood bloomed poppy red." "Octopus" is a jaunty anthem of resilience, while "Caterpillars" is lush and musty, like old wooden boards of a rain-soaked porch creaking underfoot. Perfect natural poetry. (M. Brianna Stallings)
Pornography "7 Minutes in Heaven" (PAX-AM Records)
Ryan Adams teamed up with NYC drummer Johnny T. Yerington and vocalist Leah Hennessey (New York Doll David Johansen's stepdaughter) on Pornography's "7 Minutes in Heaven," a seven-song, seven-minute-long 7-inch. Line those sevens up and—bam!—you've won the punk rawk jackpot."Fake Snake, Real Pony" rails against "the most boring person in the whole wide world." "Punch Him" hints at Bikini Kill's early days. There are two bonus tracks: "I'm Not Used to Failure" smacks of Dead Kennedys' "Insight," and "Dirty Cross-Dresser" is delightfully bratty. Yet, even at nine songs, it clocks in at seven minutes and 47 seconds. Perfect for repeat listens, "7 Minutes in Heaven" is like downing a mess of rotgut shots; by a certain point, you're too busy slamming into everyone to give a fuck about what you just consumed. (M. Brianna Stallings)

Gloucestershire will feel they have missed an opportunity after their NatWest T20 Blast clash against Glamorgan was abandoned at the innings interval at Bristol due to rain.
The heavens opened repeatedly during the Gladiators' innings but the home side, led by Michael Klinger (70 from 47 balls) and Ian Cockbain (59 not out from 40 deliveries), expertly negotiated the less-than-ideal conditions to post 207-3 from their 20 overs.
Glamorgan did not face a ball in reply to the daunting total as heavy rain during the interval made further play  impossible - with the sides earning a point each for the no result.

Maer Roshan's Anna Wintour Fetish
Radar editor returns to his muse.
Radar editor Maer Roshan has a thing for Anna Wintour. The Vogue editrix—and FOLIO: 40 veteran—appears in a photo illustration on Radar's current March issue cover.
It's not the first time she has appeared on magazine cover (weird to say, but I asked a number of magazine veterans who couldn't recall Wintour on another national magazine cover ever—if you can recall one, let us know in the comments section). In September 1999, she was profiled in a New York magazine cover story.
New York's editor at the time? Maer Roshan.
Perhaps Luke Hayman, the hot shot designer responsible for New York's award-winning look and Time magazine's historic redesign, will be able to reign in Roshan's Wintour fetishism. This week, Hayman was hired by Radar as a design consultant.

WEDNESDAY, March 12, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Pregnant women who develop gestational diabetes might be at increased risk for heart disease later in life, a long-term study suggests.
Gestational diabetes develops only during pregnancy and typically goes away after pregnancy. It does, however, increase a woman's risk for type 2 diabetes in future years.
The new study found that gestational diabetes might also increase a woman's risk of heart disease in midlife and before she develops diabetes or metabolic syndrome, a group of symptoms and conditions known to increase the chances of heart troubles.
The study included nearly 900 women, aged 18 to 30, in the United States who had one or more pregnancies and were followed for 20 years. Of those women, 13 percent developed gestational diabetes.
The thickness of the women's neck (carotid) arteries was checked an average of 12 years after pregnancy, when they were aged 38 to 50. Thickening of the neck arteries -- called atherosclerosis -- is an early sign of heart disease.
Among women who did not develop diabetes or metabolic syndrome during the 20 years of follow-up, those who had gestational diabetes had greater thickness in their neck arteries than those who didn't have gestational diabetes.
The study appeared March 12 in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
"This finding indicates that a history of gestational diabetes may influence development of early atherosclerosis before the onset of diabetes and metabolic diseases that previously have been linked to heart disease," lead author Erica Gunderson, a senior research scientist at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, said in a journal news release.
"Gestational diabetes may be an early risk factor for heart disease in women," she said.
The study found an association between pregnancy-related diabetes and heart disease risk. It did not prove cause-and-effect.

About Camera Shutter Release:
- Camera Basics: The two main components that work together on a camera is the aperture and shutter speed. The aperture controls how much light is let into the camera body, hitting the film/sensors, while the shutter speed dictates how long the light lasts
- Shutter Speed: Within the camera body is a mechanism that controls how long the film/sensors are exposed to the light. In low light situations, the shutter is open for longer. In bright light, the shutter opens and closes in a fraction of a second
- Shutter Release Cables: A shutter release cable connects to the camera and allows the photographer to take a photograph without having to touch the camera. In manual, 35 mm cameras, with no electronic controls, a wire with in the cable was pushed out to press down on the shutter release button. In modern cameras with electronic controls, the shutter release cable sends an electrical signal telling the camera to operate the shutter and take the photograph.
- Low Light: In low light situations in which the shutter in the camera remains open for a longer period of time, any movement of the camera during the exposure will result in a fuzzy or blurry photograph. A tripod is employed in low light situations and a shutter release cable is used to further minimize any potential movement of the camera during the exposure
- Other Uses: Portrait photographers will often use a shutter release cable when they take portraits. It is easier for subjects to have a person to connect with when the portrait is being taken than just being asked to sit still, smile and look at the camera. The photographer can easily interact with his subjects, resulting in more natural, relaxed portraits

The College of Marin is promoting community engagement and environmental stewardship with their new sustainable academic center in Northern California. TLCD Architecture + Mark Cavagnero Associates submitted the winning design for the 48,000 square-foot building, which aims to engage the community beyond the campus, to enhance and unify the existing campus configuration, and to become an educational resource for integrated sustainable design. That's a tall order, but the new building is smartly designed to meet the challenge while showcasing an impressive array of green building strategies.
The New Academic Center at the College of Marin includes a 200-seat auditorium, classrooms, computer labs, and faculty/administrative spaces. It's designed to serve as an iconic focal point that connects the campus and the community while serving as a learning tool for sustainability. Exterior sunscreens and interior shades will significantly enhance passive cooling, while natural lighting and ventilation throughout the buildings will reduce or eliminate the need for artificial lighting and mechanical cooling.
Native plants will be reintroduced to the site through a series of gardens, vegetative swales, and living roofs. Where possible, locally manufactured, recycled, and low-VOC building materials will be used. The Academic Center provides a variety of different outdoor spaces that encourage interaction between students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

There is so much good information on this site. The area where more on-line info is needed is "management training". Many companies today have busgets that cut management training in business skills. I would like to see management training ideas and concepts covered here. The resources on this site are of value to the subject.

1. Is there a big difference between 2.1 and 5.1 soundbars? I'm hearing a lot of good things about the Pioneer SP-SB23W, but it's only 2.1. Shouldn't 5.1 always be better than 2.1?
2. Is it possible to connect my PC(has HDMI) and TV to one soundbar? If yes, how? Most soundbars I've looked at doesn't have HDMI ports.
Can someone help me?
Ok thanks. Guess I'll buy Vizio.
Hi may be a little off topic but I'm thinking of buying two soundbars. One for the living room and one for the den does anyone know if I can connect via bluetooth to both soundbars at the same time and stream music?

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

BOSTON – Friday, March 23, 2012 – Governor Deval Patrick today announced three judicial nominations: Charles W. Groce, III and Robert S. Murphy, Jr. to the Springfield District Court; and Theresa A. Bisenius to the Essex County Division of the Probate and Family Court.
"It is an honor to nominate these well qualified and highly respected attorneys," said Governor Patrick. "I am confident that they have the experience, legal knowledge and temperament to excel on the bench. I thank them for their commitment to the fair administration of justice and their willingness to serve the Commonwealth in these important roles."
Theresa A. Bisenius is an Essex County attorney with 25 years of experience. From 2000 to 2004, she was of counsel to a small Salem firm, and since 2004 she has been a solo practitioner in Danvers, focusing on Probate and Family Court litigation. Bisenius was a solo practitioner in Boston from 1992 to 2000, with a concentration in criminal defense and divorce matters. From 1987 to 1992, she was an associate in a small general practice firm in Revere. Bisenius is active as a certified volunteer conciliator in family law cases through the Essex County Bar Association. She is a graduate of Boston College (B.A. cum laude, 1982) and Suffolk University Law School (J.D., 1986) and resides in West Newbury. Bisenius is slated to fill the vacancy on the Probate and Family Court created by the retirement of the Honorable Mary McCauley Manzi.
Charles W. Groce, III has been a solo practitioner in Springfield since 1999, with a focus on criminal defense. From 1997 to 1999, he worked on both criminal and civil litigation in the Springfield law office of the late Perman Glenn, III. Groce serves as Vice President of the Hampden County Lawyers for Justice. He is a graduate of the University of Connecticut (B.A., 1993) and Western New England University School of Law (J.D., 1997) and resides in Springfield. Groce is slated to fill the vacancy on the Springfield District Court created by the retirement of the Honorable Nancy Dusek-Gomez.
Robert S. Murphy, Jr. is a partner at the Springfield firm of Bacon Wilson P.C. where he has worked since 1994. He is involved in all aspects of criminal, civil and administrative litigation. Prior to joining the firm, Murphy served as an Assistant District Attorney and Chief District Court Prosecutor in Hampden County. He is currently a mentor to first year law students and serves as a moot court judge at Western New England University School of Law. Murphy is a graduate of Syracuse University (B.A., 1981) and Western New England University School of Law (J.D., 1987) and resides in Longmeadow. Upon confirmation, Murphy will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of the Honorable Jacques C. Leroy.

A group of Phoenix businesses has hired off-duty police officers and put up signs to scare off the crowds of day laborers that frequently convened in their neighborhood.
Vestar Development Co. manages the property at 36th Street and Thomas Road that includes Home Depot, Wal-Mart, PetSmart and Staples. A few weeks ago, the company united with other local businesses, hired off-duty police officers and put up signs that read in red letters, "Do Not Pick Up Day Laborers" and "No Trespassing."
The laborers had been gathering at that spot for about four years, said Phoenix police Lt. Adrian Ruiz. Immigration marches and protests in Phoenix brought the businesses together.
"They are done," Ruiz said. "They have suffered enough."
Ruiz said the workers were bothering business patrons and creating problems with traffic and littering.
Phoenix resident Ken Williams said he would not allow his three daughters to go near the area because the crowds were so fierce.
"You get hounded a lot," he said. "There are a lot of people, a lot of guys."
Since the businesses started taking action, the crowds have dwindled. A few workers moved across the street from the shopping complex, but most of them have scattered to other places, Ruiz said.
Meanwhile, a Phoenix police outreach officer continues to work in the area to educate residents. Anyone who stops traffic to pick up a worker will be cited, Ruiz said. Residents also will be informed that, while hiring temporary labor is not illegal, they are contributing to a problem in the area.
Elias Bermudez, executive director of Centro de Ayuda, an immigrant advocacy group, said more people will be going on the defensive as the immigration issue heats up. "For sure we are living in difficult times," he said.
"Propaganda has created animosity and given law enforcement agents and some people the right to harass and intimidate without cause." Day laborers are not going to go away, because there are industries that rely on their work, Bermudez said. "I don't like the day laborers in that sense," he said. "I have the feeling it's so demeaning that I have my own people on the street corner begging for a job."

" Lord I woke this moring with the words lost sheep on my mind "
" OH! what do you think it meant? "
" well I pictured myself as a sheep in the meadow where the grass is dry, patchy and bare "
" Oh! what happened then? "
" well Lord i turned round and all the other sheep were no longer there "
" where did you think they could have gone? "
" I thought they might of been thirsty and maybe went to find a brook
so I thought I would go and take a look "
" thats good what did you find? "
" I found a stream but the other sheep were on the other side
but I could not get across as the stream was far too wide "
" OH! what did you do then ? "
" I began to wonder what to do
then I heard a voice come out of the blue. "
" What did the voice say ? "
" the voice said do not fear don't dispare
I will help you cross over there
then a kind man appeared out of nowhere "
" what did the kind man do ? "
" He gently carried me across to where the pastures are Green
and the other sheep asked me where I had been "
" Thats great! what was your reply? "
" I told them that I was in the meadow
LOST and all alone
then the kind mans voice said
" my lost sheep welcome home "
" Great you have got it "
" Sorry Lord I am lost now"
" Yes dear you were once lost but now you are found "
" You no longer have to wander in the meadow all alone
for I am the good shepherd that always brings my lost sheep back home. "
No matter how bad our life has been the Lord always brings us lost sheep back to where the
pastures are green, never will he leave you never will he forsake you. to anyone who is lost
Just ask the Lord to show the way home he will come and fetch you. Amen. to anyone who
Diane christian
feels Lost God will find you and bring you home.
I can hear you.
But are you listening?
I look in your eyes and they're no longer glistening.
I want you on my team.
But so does he.
Instead of you and I why can't this be we?
Do you hear me?;
Do you really concentrate on the things that I say and each breath that I take?
I'm reconsidering the hand I want to hold.
The heart that's in your head doesn't have to be so cold.
Don't play in the woods anymore.
I want to be precious to someone again.
But I can't be who I was before.
So can you love me the way I am?
Do you hear me?
Do you concentrate on the things that I fear and the people I hate?
I'm not believing the moments of projection.
Just tell me where to find myself; just show me the direction.
Do you hear me?
Do you pay attention?
This wall cannot cover your great apprehension.
I know you feel alone and unbelievably forsaken.
And though you are uncertain, I am a God who can't be shaken.
Don't play in the woods anymore.
I want to be precious to someone again.
But I can't be who I was before.
So can you love me the way I am...
...With my many faults and infinite breakdowns,
I know i'm unworthy but I need you now.
Redemption's bittersweet. And they will laugh at me,
I've learned in this life you must turn the other cheek.
I'm losing everything I've ever had...
But with me you're getting your life back.
It's time for you to trust and have that lust for life you need.
It's time for you to dance again and know you can be free.
There's nothing else to say.
Im only ready to be sure.
I found myself today ready to open the door...
Come Father, become human and kind...
sit at my blessed and abundant table,
and have a dialogue with me!
Many questions assumed for myself:
like uncotrollable rivers flooding their banks...
pitifully susceptible to oblivion;
a disaster so real and not too stealthy...
come Father,suspend time!
Indisputible are Your commandments
that make the sinners tremble
and the mighty complain and ramble;
unchangeable are Your moral demands,
and the devouts heed them with reverence...
to diffuse them without diffidence!
Come Father,engorge this eager spirit...
descend to clear up contradictory opinions,
words dictated by the die-hard and undignified;
this is not a conception or a dilemma,
but an enormous and contemptuous enigma
engraved on the souls that engage in snarling tactics
to ensconce, not to enrapture what is good...
and in doing so they captivate people in sin!
I declare my faithfulness with words that prolifate
and have wonder and inspiration...
true words that express a genuine faith;
I am not prognostic...I rely on devine intervention,
and shun what lacks in importance...
not debasing what is sacred to satisfy their impertinence!
Come Father, have this promenade...
let's talk about their impervious minds
that collide with truth with impetuous haste;
come father, let's make them perfect and pious...
give them a plausible momentum of grace,
and make them victorious and vindicated!
There are some dreams that you don't see during the night
You can just imagine.
There are some words that you don't hear
You feel these if you look somebody in the eyes.
There are some loves that you don't get with a kiss or a hug
You can touch these with your soul.
If you can see what you can't see with your eyes
If you can hear what you can't hear with your ears
If you can touch what you can't touch with your hands
Then I will not speak anymore
Then you will not speak anymore
Then will speak only our hearts

We have a beautiful liturgy
so dramatic and impressive
that one may be glued to it,
be involved and participate.
It presents a new movement,
along with its recurring theme,
a celebration of life and promises
that God, our Savior, makes us one.
He teaches us to serve others,
He teaches us to give humble service
He makes us aware that we're followers
of his preaching to love one another.
It's an act of self-giving to love others
as depicted in foot washing at the last Supper
where it happens on Maundy Thursday
as he institutes the Holy Eucharist
as well as the sacrament of priesthood.
It's so rich with images and symbols
especially in our attitude of serving people
these are reminders that we've a role,
a mission to fulfill, a faith to proclaim.
In my own country where there's poverty,
corruption, injustice, and inequality;
it's a chance to incarnate in reality
what the gospel teaches us to do.
Though some hurdles may hinder
to move freely and be with the poor
yet the love of God for these people
is our priority, the preferential option.
I looked below and saw the dawn from here,
Disturbing may, below the light- a man.
"Oh, stranger most, shall I ask you with fear?"
"Dear one, you fear no one", replied the man,
"Nor Him, you fear Him not for you are but
The holder of the strings of those you sight."
A second by, I asked him in abrupt,
"The guardians of the roof, had they loved me?"
He voiced: "Their love are drawn in stitching crossed,
Exquisite yet details are course, you see?
The veil from where it rests you should have tossed,
Each thread in havoc, one chaotic sea!"
I spared a tear, his face did went outworn,
Afar the lake I headed. God, I'm torn!
The singer looks at the now empty stage
His voice guarded deep in his warm throat
Shielded by a high neck shirt he wore
Singing with passion from down within
Rehearsing day and night until it's right
Blended rhythms and notes run the scales
Clinging in smoky night clubs like a shadow
Getting your pay with crumbled dollar bills
Go from gig to gig if it makes you whole
Your songs will make them dance and spin
Like a magic spell being cast far and wide
Allow your words to heal wounds and scars
And when you have earned your keep
Collect the spoils from your conquest sweet
Gobbled champagne and fancy caviars
And your heart beats crashed musical chart
Find the singer who was once loved
The brilliant heart that once lived in joy
Consider yourself a singer without a heart
Who has traded his soul from the start
As it ends the conquest will lose its spark
Come to your senses and stop this slide
You may be witted and sharp as a tack
Don't get eluded and slip—stay on track
Comments: This is a narrative dialogue poem. It sets the stage one may
probably find in a conflicting situation. It develops into a complication, reaches a
crisis then falls into a resolution. It displays connections, alienation,
disconnections, and a turning point where a change takes place between a
protagonist and antagonist. The ending brings about a resolution after a
dramatic point has been reached. Give it a try one day, and I will give it a review
for you. It must be very interesting and relates to real life.

In a post on the official company site, the duo blasted the media for reporting the unconfirmed nature of Hennig's departure from the company. That report came from IGN who was told by inside sources that she was leaving the company and was forced out by Druckmann and Straley.

THE Stratford Mop of 1914 appeared little changed from previous years. Wartime austerity had not yet set in and few people foresaw that the conflict would be lengthy. One of the great traditions of the fair was its roasts. No less than five oxen and seven pigs were rotating on the spits outside the pubs on the big day. The excursion trains brought their usual hundreds of revellers from Birmingham and other centres of population. None of Stratford's conscripts had yet embarked overseas, although just five days before, a regular with the South Wales Borderers, Sgt RH Savage, had been the first Stratfordian to fall victim to the war. He had been struck by shrapnel at the Battle of the Aisne and died of his wounds in Bournbrook Military Hospital.
Four years ago Ellis Holtom, of Stratford-upon-Avon, was born with half a working heart. Later, the Herald featured his condition as a tribute to the work of Birmingham Children's Hospital where he was treated. Now, to mark Congenital Heart Defect Week his mum, Vicki, updates his story. . .
ALL 326 local planning authorities in England, councils like Stratford-on-Avon District, need a local plan. The core strategy is a component of that local plan. It contains all the local district wide policies that need to be considered when processing planning applications. New development needs to satisfy local needs, helping to realise the hopes and ambitions of its communities and protect them from situations they fear. New homes and places to work should provide then with a healthy lifestyle, a pleasant place to live, good recreational facilities and above all the infrastructure that enhances their quality of life. The buzzword to describe this is 'sustainable'.
THE poor are paying more than they should be for their energy, according to damning new evidence from Stratford-upon-Avon's Citizens Advice Bureau. Prepayment meters (PPMs) are costing users in fuel poverty a "disproportionate amount" for what little gas and electricity they can afford, the bureau has found. There are around 7.2 million people on prepayment meters in the UK and several thousand in the district of Stratford. Despite Stratford's reputation as an affluent area, the bureau is being forced to come to the aid of more and more people living in fuel poverty on an increasingly regular basis.
STATFORD RFC went down by 17 points to 8 after producing a gritty performance at Midlands 1 West leaders Old Halesonians on Saturday.
In Midlands 2 West (South), Shipston slipped into the bottom three following their 22-13 defeat at home to Newbold.
Southam's struggles in Midlands 3 West (South) continue after they lost 34-14 at home to local rivals Old Leamingtonians.
In Midlands 4 West (South), Harbury also prevailed in their local derby with Claverdon at Waterloo Fields, winning 17-7. Alcester are still in a relegation battle after losing 31-7 at home to Birmingham Civil Service.
The basement battle between Warwickian and Keresley ended all-square at 14-14.
In Midlands 5 West (South), Wellesbourne lost 24-8 at home to Stoke Old Boys.

general quitline information, cessation information, self-directed quit plans, automated e-mail messages, chat rooms, and interactive counseling. About one-third of the quitlines mailed free medications to callers, and 23% provided vouchers for medications. Although many of the quitlines had specialized protocols for pregnant women, smokeless-tobacco users, ethnic populations, and people 12–17 years old, far fewer offered protocols for multiple addictions, people 18–24 years old, those with mental illness, or older adults. Most of the quitlines had some criteria for receiving free medications, such as lack of insurance coverage.
The North American Quitline Consortium (NAQC) was established to help federal and state health departments, quitline service providers, researchers, and service providers, such as the American Cancer Society, to improve quitline services. In addition to the state quitlines and the service providers, NAQC members include CDC, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the American Legacy Foundation, ClearWay Minnesota, and several Canadian organizations. NAQC is one resource for information about current quitline services, improving quitline quality, and assessing quitline efficacy and research.
Although quitlines are acknowledged to be effective in reaching a large number of tobacco users and can be tailored to reach specific audiences, they do have limitations. Quitlines typically reach only a small proportion of their target populations and are chronically underfunded. The 2003 National Action Plan for Tobacco Cessation (Fiore, 2003) recommended that state quitlines use at least four person-to-person proactive calls, that there be no cost to insurers for the use of the quitline by eligible tobacco users, and that all NRTs be made available to quitline users free of charge or that users receive vouchers for prescription medications. The plan also called for states to receive earmarked grants to maintain their quitlines and for quitlines to meet national performance standards. Zhu and Anderson (2004) noted that the promotion of a quitline may prompt tobacco users to attempt to quit on their own even if they did not contact the quitline (Zhu and Anderson, 2004). Quitlines therefore may reach a broader audience than only tobacco users who are seeking counseling, including their friends and family who may call to request information on how to support or initiate quit attempts by tobacco users.

Learning Resources | News
BenchPrep has released OpenPrep, a new tool that features access to thousands of educational videos and resources.
Among the open educational resources made available with the new OpenPrep feature are Khan Academy tutorials and YouTube videos, as well as articles from Wikipedia.
The feature works by means of an internal engine that correlates an instructional topic with available resources on that topic, from weather to earthquakes and from chemical processes to mechanical engineering. BenchPrep works with publishers such as McGraw-Hill and Cengage Learning to clearly identify areas where outside material may be useful, then ties media from those companies in with unit themes.
"The OpenPrep engine is fully automated and uses topic detection and ranking algorithms to analyze the contents of any course. It then builds a curated collection of online educational resources and uses award winning educational material from BenchPrep content partners as a lens to mine these resources for the most relevant content, instantly translating our courses into rich media experiences." said Jonathan Soeder, BenchPrep lead architect.
In the near future, additional resources will be made available from companies such as Wolfram Alpha, Pearson, and Associated Press, the company noted in prepared statement. To make sure material is relevant and useful, students will be able to vote on the relevance of resources available.
In addition, educators and students can also add custom material of their own to be shared with students, including videos, blogs, and articles they identify as relevant.
"YouTube and Wikipedia are knowledge warehouses, which rival the greatest libraries ever built, yet they lack the structure and curriculum required to master a subject," said Frank Pinto, creative director at BenchPrep. "Our goal is to help students tap into this open knowledge base in an intuitive, convenient, and engaging way while maintaining the academic structure of a course."

The updated expert hand hygiene guidance that appeared in the July 2014 issue of the Journal of Infection Control couldn't have arrived at better time. Those of us who manage and advise healthcare facilities on infection prevention and control live and work in challenging times. Just consider the news.
Read More
More than 400 healthcare professionals from across the United States participated in a recent survey that looked at the methods used to gather hand hygiene data, the reliability of that data and the commitment of healthcare facilities to improving hand hygiene. The survey reinforced the sentiment that healthcare professionals are committed to reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), but also uncovered that they are not employing the methods that they believe reflect best practices.
A nurse who survived a severe hospital acquired infection and the physician who created healthcare's well-known "My 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene" program discuss the stubborn nature of handwashing compliance and tips for hospitals to improve it.
Healthcare organizations often ask why DebMed is so vigorous in promoting the World Health Organization's (WHO) Five Moments for Hand Hygiene compliance where healthcare workers are asked to clean their hands at five key moments in the patient care process.
Hand hygiene involves more than hand cleaning. Hand hygiene is a comprehensive, enterprise-wide process that embraces assessment, implementation, training and education, monitoring and ongoing communication and promotion among healthcare workers, patients, family members and hospital visitors.
DebMed supports implementation of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Five Moments for Hand Hygiene. Healthcare workers must clean their hands:
Patients, family members and visitors play an important role in preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and ensuring patient safety. Healthcare organizations should share hand hygiene information and advice via ongoing communications. Among the recommendations for healthcare providers:
The World Health Organization (WHO) is in the fifth year of its "Save Lives: Clean Your Hands Campaign," a global initiative to help clinicians improve hand hygiene and reduce the number of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). To add value to any hand hygiene improvement strategy, the WHO defines the key moments for hand hygiene, The WHO Five Moments for Hand Hygiene, and advises healthcare workers to clean their hands:
As the healthcare industry recognized National Health IT Week September 16-20, there was talk about integration, interoperability, sharing of patient data and health information exchanges. But let's not forget a topic that has been proven to save lives for more than 100 years – hand cleaning.
GIVING birth was a dangerous endeavour in the 1800s; many women died soon after doing so. Ignaz Semmelweis, an obstetrician working at the time at Vienna General Hospital, observed that by washing his hands with bleach before he touched his patients he could reduce their mortality rate by 90%. This was before Louis Pasteur established the germ theory of disease, and Semmelweis could not explain the correlation.
