#FirstDay – Why The World Needs Midwives
Today sees the launch of the most important campaign that I have ever been involved with, the launch of Save the Children's #FirstDay campaign to end newborn deaths.
I am a bit overwhelmed by it, truth be told. So overwhelmed that I am going to repeat myself a bit, I'm going to say some of the things I said in my last post all over again – because they need saying – because the more you say them the more they sink in and the more they sink in, the more outrageous they become.
2.9 million babies a year never reach their second month of life.
Those of us who have held a newborn in our arms know how fragile that little life can be. We've seen how vulnerable babies are; how reliant they are on those around them to keep them safe and to help them live.
For a mum or dad, the first day of a child's life is a time of excitement; a day we will remember forever. A day full of tears and laughter and wonder. A day of hope, the first step on a new life journey. It's miraculous. But childbirth is often complicated and a newborn child is frighteningly vulnerable. Those crucial first hours are when babies are at their most vulnerable and things can easily go wrong. Maybe their tiny airways get blocked, the delivery is obstructed or they are exposed to infections or hypothermia.
Newborn deaths now account for nearly half of all under-five deaths.
The death of one baby is a tragedy. The death of 2.9 million a year is an outrage. And most of these deaths are preventable, with the help of a trained and equipped midwife along with basic medicines such as antiseptics and antibiotics, vital equipment and a clean environment to work in. These are not difficult things to provide, they are the simple things most of us take for granted but which many families worldwide are not privileged to have.
All it takes to change this is political will from governments around the world to provide the funds to train up and equip midwives. Simple.
Lack of political focus on newborn deaths is blocking us from being the generation to stop all preventable child deaths and I want to change that. I want to use the blogging community and its amazing readers to help bring about that change.
2014 gives us a unique opportunity to make change happen: For the first time ever, countries and institutions around the world will sit down to agree the Every Newborn Action Plan. We need to make sure world leader's take action on this and know the world is calling for them to do so.
So – What Am I Asking You To Do Today?
Today I am asking the parent blogging community to join me to draw attention to this campaign and show how the simple things many of us take for granted can be the difference between life and death and call for those simple things to be available to all women giving birth around the world.
Write a 100 word blog post about a #FirstDay and the importance of midwives – Tell us, in 100 words, what your midwife did to make sure your baby had a second day, what simple things did s/he do to help your child through those first hours? What are the simple things we take for granted in the hours after birth…eg anti septic cream, clean water, sterilised equipment?
We're running this as a 100 word challenge blog linky across as many blogs as possible, can you call on your blogging community and ask them to tell us in 100 words: 'What did your midwife do that made sure your baby had a second day?' Or, if you're not a parent: 'What did a midwife do to make sure you had a second day?'
Here's Mine:
My midwives cut the cords which linked me and my babies with sterile instruments and made sure those first scars were cleaned with antiseptic so no infection could set in. They kept the room warm and placed my babies on my skin to nuzzle and feed. They looked for signs of newborn stress, popping my first under UV light to counteract jaundice and monitoring the heart murmur in my second. I was lucky to birth with midwife support and the basic essentials to ensure my babies lived beyond their #firstday to grow into young people with the potential to change the world.
Please add yours on the blog hop linky at the bottom of this post.
The world has made amazing progress in saving children's lives over the past two decades. Thanks to global action on vaccines, family planning and treatment of childhood illness, the number of children who die each year has dropped from 12.6 million in 1990 to 6.6 million in 2012. Save the Children's social media campaigners have helped us drive so much of this change, let's help put the pressure on politicians to take action for newborns – your blog post, tweet or facebook update could be the tipping point – it could be the one that pushes the numbers who have shouted to the point where Mr Cameron and Co sit up and respond.
What Else Can You Do?
What we want to achieve:
• Save the lives of 2 million newborn babies a year
• Ensure that every baby is born with the support of a trained and equipped midwife
If you've got one minute:
Sign our petition to ask David Cameron to put a global plan into action in 2014 that will ensure every baby is born with the life-saving help of a trained and equipped midwife and use his influence to get world leaders to do the same.
Text a donation: a donation of £3, the price of a cup of coffee, could save 10 newborn lives by buying 10 tubes of antiseptic cream. Text COFFEE to 70090
Share the link to our newborn campaign online and ask people to take action or donate
If you've got 10 minutes or more:
– Join us for a #firstday twitter chat on Tuesday 25th Feb from 1-2pm Details Here.
– write about the campaign online and why it's so important that the world acts this year to save newborn lives
– Join our 100 word challenge blog linky

I don't know how I would of got through all my pregnancies and births without midwives.We certainly take advantage of the fact that it's a given thing when we become mothers that they will be there.More needs to been done to save the lives of children around the world by providing more midwifery care to those women and babies who are more vulnerable.
Aly recently posted…#Firstday- What Did Your Midwife Do That Made Sure Your Baby Had A Second Day?
Those are shocking statistics. All of them, awful. I am glad to support the work by Save the Children and this no less an awesome campaign. Thank you for constantly keeping us abreast.

Those statistics are so very shocking and hard to believe such huge numbers and all the sadder for that.
Well done for highlighting this issue and generating support for Save the Children UK.
Something tells me your children with a mum like you will indeed change the world and in amazing and positive ways too
Kate on Thin Ice recently posted…Why midwives matter – #firstday
Even though I have had two uncomplicated births, after writing my post I sat and thought with both births without the midwifes what may have been. It only when you stop and think about it do you realise.
I know all your work Chris will make such a difference x

Econ Recovery Likely _ Benefiting Election Winner
Obama has criticized Romney for proposing a 20 percent cut in marginal tax rates, arguing it would either lead to higher federal deficits or to higher taxes for the middle class. But Hassett indicated that if Romney and Congress were unable to find enough savings by eliminating tax loopholes and breaks to cover the lost revenue, the tax cut would be adjusted so it wouldn't be so steep.
Obama officials say they are optimistic that they can reach a sweet spot of compromise that restrains deficits over time but is not so austere that it damages the recovery. Obama and his aides insist they will not simply buy time or agree to a short extension of all Bush-era tax cuts. Obama has said the election will help resolve the issue.
"I'm hoping that after the smoke clears and the election season's over that that spirit of cooperation comes more to the fore," the president told CBS' "60 Minutes" last week.
But Harris, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch economist, said the election may not prove a decisive factor on a debt compromise. That's because Romney has not specified what government spending or tax loopholes he intends to eliminate, and Obama has not offered details on what entitlement cuts he would undertake."The two parties are offering all sugar and no medicine solutions," Harris said. "Neither party comes out of the election with a clear mandate. You only have a mandate if you have specific proposals." The business sector is anxious â¿¿ and weighing in. Boeing chairman and CEO Jim McNerney told reporters in a conference call that chief executives "wouldn't be uncomfortable" with some tax increases if the overall package included larger spending cuts. He specifically cited a proposal by a commission headed former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson and Democrat Erskine Bowles that would provide $3 in spending cuts for every $1 in additional revenues.

Toyota Donates $3400 To Leukemia And Lymphoma Society
WASHINGTON, June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Last night, Washington Area Toyota Dealers made a donation of $3400 to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The donation was presented while Toyota and Washington Nationals star Bryce Harper spent the evening playing games and talking with children affected by leukemia and lymphoma in Kensington, Md.

To signify Bryce Harper's continuous dedication to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Toyota based the donation on his number, 34.

"Plus, since a lot of them are Nationals fans it was encouraging to see one of their heroes looking out for them."
Each year, Washington Area Toyota Dealers partner with Nationals players in order to give back to the charity of their choice. Later this year on September 16, Toyota and pitcher Stephen Strasburg will make a donation to the Children's Inn during a Nationals game.Media Contact: Danielle CoeSHIFT Communications for Toyota415-591-8448 firstname.lastname@example.com About Toyota Toyota (NYSE: TM) established operations in North America in 1957 and currently operates 14 manufacturing plants.

One key addition was the June signing of
Flowers, given the day off Thursday, putting
Another member of the Chargers' secondary Weddle touts highly is
Overall, Weddle believes if the secondary stays healthy and maintains consistency, they will turn some heads.
"The biggest thing with a lot of guys is they need to stay healthy and they need to understand that you can't come out here for a week, have a good week and then the next week get beat for five touchdowns and think you're going to play," he explained. "It doesn't work that way. We'll lose games because of that. The guys are understanding that it's all about consistency."
While he's encouraged by the secondary, his enthusiasm isn't only limited to the defensive backs. Weddle sees the defense gelling, and as a result they are instinctively reacting rather than thinking.
"The biggest thing is if you know what you're doing and you're confident in what you're doing within the defense, then you play fast," he said. "It's just natural. Less thinking means you're going to anticipate and let your instincts take over. You're not going to be sitting back thinking, 'What should I be doing?' So naturally as the years grow older in your progression you're going to play faster, and when you have the same group you're going to play collectively faster, and it's showing on the field."
Don't forget, Saturday marks the team's annual FanFest at Quacomm Stadium. It's always a highlight of the summer and is an event you won't want to miss. Click here for more information.

New Norwich signing Luciano Becchio sets sights on a first-team place up front
Luciano Becchio cannot wait to test himself in the Barclays Premier League with Norwich, who continue to track Celtic striker Gary Hooper.
Argentinian forward Becchio, who scored 19 goals for Leeds this season, this afternoon joined the Canaries in a swap deal for Wales international Steve Morison.
Norwich manager Chris Hughton has been keen to bolster his attacking options to avoid being dragged into a dogfight for survival and had already moved to bring in Kei Kamara on loan from Major League Soccer club Sporting Kansas City, subject to the Sierra Leone international receiving a work permit.
However, the Canaries - who drew 1-1 at home to Tottenham last night - seem determined to push through a deadline transfer for Hooper, with Celtic said have again knocked back another improved offer as they look to hold out for a fee closer to their £8million valuation.
Becchio will offer much-needed back-up to Norwich captain Grant Holt and the 29-year-old former Boca Juniors player feels he is ready to make the step up to the challenges of the English top flight.
"Finally everything is closed. I wanted to come to Norwich, and my family did also. It is a great opportunity for me," Becchio told Canaries Player.
"The Premier League has a massive following and is the best League.
"I want to get into the team quickly if I can, I am ready."
Becchio has agreed a three-and-a-half year deal with the Canaries, but admits there was some disappointment at leaving Leeds, after he had handed in a transfer request at Elland Road last week when talks over a new deal faltered.
"I had very good memories of Leeds, so it is a little bit sad to leave, but that is football," added Becchio, who will join former Leeds team-mates Jonny Howson, Robert Snodgrass and Bradley Johnson at Carrow Road.
"I can only say thank you to all the fans of Leeds, they will always be in my head."
Wales striker Morison, meanwhile, will look to kickstart his career with Leeds after falling down the pecking order at Norwich after his £2.8million move in the summer of 2011.
Hughton is also determined to improve his defence after seeing Norwich drop to within seven points of the relegation zone after no Premier League wins since mid-December.
Birmingham's £4millon-rated Curtis Davies is a reported target, a player Hughton worked with during his time at St Andrews and centre-half Leon Barnett could be offered as a makeweight.
Kamara, meanwhile, is relishing the opportunities ahead, being loaned to the Canaries until May 6 with an option to buy.
"England's a Mecca of the game, and no player is going to want to turn that opportunity down to go play some games over there," Kamara told www.MLSsoccer.com.
"I am just excited to get this chance, and for the Sporting organisation and coaching staff to let me go live this out."
Hughton is confident Kamara has the attributes required to swiftly adapt to the English game.
"He's a player that's done very, very well in the MLS over the last few seasons, scored a lot of goals, a lot of assists," said Hughton, who takes his side to relegation-battlers QPR on Saturday.
"Anybody coming from a different country, different division, it's how quickly they can settle in.
"From what I've seen of him, we're not just taking an average player from that division. We're taking a player from that division that has excelled in recent seasons. That's a plus.
"How quickly he can adapt, how much he can give us, we are quite looking forward to the prospect of seeing that."

Murali Vijay was bowled by Stuart Broad off an inside edge while trying to leave on Day Three of the third match between India and England at Southampton. Earlier, Cheteshwar Pujara was dismissed caught behind by Jos Buttler while trying to evade a short ball from Broad.
India resumed at 25 for one on Day Three. Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara started solidly, with the former content to absorb deliveries, while the latter was more positive and scored runs more quickly. James Anderson kept asking questions of the batsmen, but Chris Woakes looked largely nonthreatening. The introduction of Broad proved incisive, as he came in hard and sharp, and eventually got rid of both overnight batsmen.

Priest abuse survivors group marks milestone
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES Religion Reporter August 2, 2014 3:33PM
Article Extras
Updated: September 4, 2014 6:41AM
When Barbara Blaine launched a group 25 years ago to help people sexually abused by Catholic priests, the reception was icy.
It was "utter scorn and disbelief for years by parishioners and church officials," said David Clohessy, national director of the Chicago-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, known as SNAP. "We would hand out leaflets to publicize our support group outside of a church. The police were called. Parishioners would shout at us and sometimes shove us or spit on us."
And today?
"We have far less of people calling us liars," said Blaine, who serves as president and was sexually abused as a child by a priest.
"Parishioners come out and take a flier and say, 'We're so grateful for you all for being here. Thanks for speaking up.' We still get people who complain, but many recognize and appreciate that we're exposing it."
SNAP is holding its annual conference in Chicago this weekend as it marks its 25th year. What began as a small, informal group of victims has grown into an international network with more than 19,000 members in 65 U.S. cities and 79 countries.
Ninety percent of SNAP's work today is providing behind-the-scenes support to victims, witnesses and whistle-blowers. But SNAP also has evolved to become a high-profile, relentless, vocal advocate for the abused.
SNAP has held news conferences across the country with victims who've exposed their abusers — many of whom sued the priests and Catholic Church leaders. And it has pushed for the Catholic Church, legislators and law enforcement to punish predators and those who shielded them, to make the public aware of abusers, and put in place stronger safeguards to protect children.
"SNAP has played a "fundamental role in helping victims come forward and helping them organize and exercise their rights," said Albany Law School Professor Tim Lytton, author of the book "Holding Bishops Accountable."
The Archdiocese of Chicago said in March it had paid victims $118 million as part of settlement agreements for abuse that took place over the past 50 years.
"People used to laugh at us when we would say there's got to be a binding national church abuse policy. For years, bishops and church observers and even journalists said, 'You're naive. That will never happen.' It has," Clohessy recalled.
Even so, he added, that policy must be strengthened and better enforced, he said.
"People laughed at us when we said bishops should post on their websites the names of predator priests," he shared. "Now roughly 30 in the U.S. have done that."
Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne Burke, a speaker at the conference Saturday, thanked the group for their work. She served on a U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops lay National Review Board that investigated abuse of minors by clergy, which issued a report with recommendations in 2004.
"The faithful here in the United States and indeed around the globe would be more threatened today without you," Burke said. "When no one was listening, you spoke up and exposed the sinister machinations of leaders who did not listen."
Said Blaine: "In many ways, the movement has taken on a life of its own. People read, get inspired and take action. It's certainly not any one of us who have made that happen. It's a widespread experience of the survivors that makes it all happen."

In Memoriam
Patch Adams Saved my Life
I had begun to discover that the vortex of grief could be traversed differently. Williams compassion for his patients through humor was something I could grasp to support myself. Could laughter when I felt so little be something I could allow myself? Could I simply begin to smile at the guilty thoughts I was having as a mother who's gifted, creative son did not live through adolescence?
When the butterfly landed on his medical bag I lost it. For Reed had drawn a stunning black and white butterfly as a fifth grader. He had, I felt, used a swallowtail to communicate with us in the spring. "My Soul is soaring, Mom". Each time the black and yellow wings would appear in the pine tree he'd planted as a child, my heart would soar. I could breathe into life for a moment before being plunged into the vortex of grief.
Where was that butterfly on August 11th? We can never know the heart of another. Addiction is exhausting. So can be the gift of exponential creativity and heart opening literally from heart surgery. Unless the invasive trauma of surgery is recognized in the body and released with movement and touch, it may result in more complications.
So Robin Williams you gave me the gift of humor as self-care. In death you have given me the opportunity for a do-over as a Baby Boomer. This time I will feel the jolt in my stomach I felt when I read the text of your departure. The very breath needed to laugh was sucked from me in that moment. As it was from you. This time I will allow my grief out of the closet. I am not afraid of how I will be seen as a mourner. There will be things undone this day as I join America in grieving. As I wait for the media to bring to light every detail of your death, I will remember I am fragile as you, Robin Williams. You have given me the strength to invite others this time to feel their embodied grief. Howl it. Knowing our minds cannot understand you choice, we can for the next 90 days be more compassionate and gentle with ourselves and one another.
What would this America feel like, look like, sound like? I dare us to try.

So, i'm at the part where you find the tongue of the manatee...
I've decapitated Murray/Santino, already learnt how to speak the manatee language, gone back inside the manatee and used the fish on the Bongos...I can't for the love of God find the tongue. Turns out my game glitched, as all I can say to Moose now is "I'll talk to you later", and there isn't anything floating in the pool of bile.
I would REALLY appreciate it if someone who didn't rely on Auto-Save (unlike me) could zip and upload their save game file somewhere.
I'm seriously hoping this isn't anything against the ToS on these forums.

Did Dakota ridge today (out and back from MW parking lot) and 95% of it was good. Two spots were slightly muddy, but not bad. Had some girl start in front of me (on a Heckler no less), and was nice enough to sorely humble me by never letting me catch her. Also got passed by a *ahem* very nice trail runner on the uphills on the way back to the car. I got back to the car just after Heckler girl who closed the MW loop. Apparently ALL of MW was in poor conidtion. By her description, it MIGHT be good by sunday...she commented that out/back on Dakota ridge was definetely a better option.
Not too shabby of a day....

Welcome to a wet, windy Monday. But look on the bright side; we've got Thanksgiving to look forward to. As always we have some highlights from Saturday's Valley Voice. Reporter Lisa Leinberger has a story on a program that teams Sunrise Elementary students with Central Valley High School DECA students to learn about running a business. The students are selling products that they made.
Sullivan Park will double in size after the construction of the new Sullivan Bridge is complete. The park will be expanded as mitigation for the portion of the park that will be used as a staging area during construction. Other improvements in that area are also planned.
The HUB Sports Center has a new after school program for Greenacres Middle School that is proving to be popular. The students get help with their homework, have a snack, listen to guest speakes and play games.
The city of Liberty Lake is taking a second look at its animal control contract with SCRAPS. Mayor Steve Peterson iswants to see if SpokAnimal can provide the city cheaper service or if the SCRAPS contract can be changed to cost the city less out of pocket.
Lisa also has a report on a Central Valley school board meeting where a decision was reached to sell land in Liberty Lake to the city of Liberty Lake for $10 so it can be used for playing fields. The district has the option to purchase the land back for the same price in the future if it needs the property.

There's a lot to check out in today's Valley Voice, so grab a cup of coffee and settle in. I almost wish I was at Sunrise Elementary when reporter Lisa Leinberger was there last week to check out the third grade Fairy Tale Ball because it sounds like so much fun. The students dressed up in their finest clothes and snacked on food made by their parents.
If you are looking for things to do this weekend, you have a couple of options. The grand opening of Greenacres Park is Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to noon. The park has a playgroung area with splash pad and sand box, restrooms, a large picnic shelter and play fields. Saturday is also West Valley Days in Millwood, which includes a parade, carnival and free bike raffle.
The Spokane Valley City Council discussed their second thoughts about accepting the donation of a sculpture in a new entry to be built at Appleway and Thierman next year. Several council members suggested putting the work of art in Balfour Park instead so people can get up close to it.
The Spokane Valley Fire Department will have a replacement levy on the ballot in August. It currently provides 53 percent of their annual budget and there was discussion this week on what would happen if the levy fails. Six of the department's ten stations would close and staff would be cut from 180 to 76.
Spokane Valley Fire Department arson dog Mako poses with fire investigator Rick Freier and a student at the Sunrise Elementary science fair Thursday night. The photo is courtesy of the Spokane Valley Fire Department.
It looks like Mako the arson dog had a good time last night at the annual Sunrise Elementary science fair. Spokane Valley Fire Department fire investigator Rick Freier brought his canine partner to the fair for students to meet and it looks like some of the kids were happy to pet him and learn a little about how he works. After a few months on the job Mako has settled in enough to begin making the rounds of local schools. If you are interested in having Freier and Mako visit your school or event to talk about fire safety, call the fire department at 928-1700.

In case you missed Saturday's Valley Voice, check out these links to some of our stories from the weekend. Students at Sunrise Elementary had a fun time making paper masks and writing songs to go with them last week. Doctors at Valley Hospital and Medical Center reported treating more than 30 people over the long Thanksgiving weekend for sledding injuries at Valley Mission Park - everything from a punctured lung to fractured spines. People appear to be sledding in a closed area with more obstacles rather than the traditional sledding hill next to Splash Down.
The Spokane Valley Hearing Examiner has decided that the designation of a lab/husky mix named Casey as a dangerous dog by SCRAPS will stand. The owner had appealed the label, which includes requirements for extra insurance, sturdy fencing and following other restrictions. Spokane Valley Fire has approved a 2011 budget that includes construction of a new administration building and no property tax levy increase.
Jerry Stout puts the finishing touches on his snowman he built in his Upriver Drive apple orchard on Thursday. "The snow is actually working, and I'm out of work, so I've got the time," remarked the 65-year-old. He found buttons in his wife's sewing kit for eyes, painted a night light for the nose, and used yarn for the mouth. SR photo/Bart Rayniak
Recent snow has been a boon for sledders but people need to be careful when zipping down a hard packed, icy hill. The emergency room at the Valley Hospital and Medical Center saw more than 30 injured sledders over the extended Thanksgiving weekend with broken bones and other serious injuries. Take a look at the story in Saturday's Valley Voice.
Also coming Saturday is a peek into classrooms at Sunrise Elementary when students got to make paper masks. Plus Spokane Valley Fire has been dealing with surge in calls related to the bad weather, including more car accidents and broken water and sprinkler system pipes.

Hi all,
First time posting in the Schwinn area. I was wondering what all you 4Banger experts think about a Clyde on a 4 Banger? Depending on what time of year it is I can get up to 225 when the trails are snowed over and get as low as 210. Would a 4 Banger hold up to my weight or would I crack it and then be frustrated? I ride XC since there are not really any heavy duty big drop trails where I ride.
Thanks in advance,

Governor Deval L. Patrick
PV America Conference
Boston Convention and Exhibition Center
Monday, June 23, 2014
Thank you, Marcy, for that warm welcome and for your exceptional leadership on energy efficiency. National Grid and you in particular, are among the best partners we have.
And thanks to all the participants in PV America for your contributions both here in Massachusetts and around the country to a clean energy future.
We have been blessed by a series of visionary leaders in state government these last eight years. With great appreciation, I would like to acknowledge Secretary Bartlett, Energy Resources Commissioner Mark Sylvia and their team at the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and Alicia Barton and her team at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. This is a clean energy dream team.
Together we have made enormous strides in reaching, even surpassing, the goals we set. I want to take a little time this afternoon to talk about that and to place what all of you are doing in that context.
Starting almost eight years ago, we in Massachusetts took a fresh look at our energy reality. Being at the end of the energy pipeline, electricity costs were historically high and we were at the mercy of global price fluctuation. Besides, the climate was changing, and we needed to deal with our stewardship responsibility. So, we made a conscious decision to shift our focus to developing cleaner sources of energy and reducing our environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions. And we had to do it taking account of economic impact, especially as we faced a global economic collapse.
We knew it would take partnership – government, the Legislature, the private sector, ordinary citizens, and the many, many advocates working together – to change behavior and develop technologies and an industry around clean and alternative energy.
Today, I am pleased to report, Massachusetts has a thriving clean energy marketplace, an exciting cluster for cleantech innovation, and sharply reduced emissions.
We've lead the Nation in energy efficiency for the past three years. We've tripled the energy we're saving from efficiency initiatives. In total, $1.2 billion of investments in energy efficiency has yielded some $5.5 billion of economic and environmental benefits. We plan to invest another $2.2 billion by 2015, and produce another $9 billion in benefits.
Our broader Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard program now supplies nine percent of our electricity consumption from new renewable energy from throughout New England primarily from wind, landfill gas, clean biomas, and solar resources.
Wind capacity in Massachusetts has grown from three megawatts to more than 103 megawatts today; and we are poised to be home to the Nation's first offshore wind farm.
Working with other states through the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, we have lowered carbon emissions throughout the region and demonstrated that a market based cap-and-trade approach works.
We've grown from three megawatts to over 500 megawatts of installed solar today, exceeding our first goal for solar by 100 percent in half the time. So, we've set a new goal of 1.6 gigawatts of solar installed by 2020.
Conventional thinking often says that clean energy is an economic drag. That's false. The Massachusetts economy is not just unharmed but stronger because of our investments. Over the last seven years our economy has grown 50 percent faster than the Nation as a whole. Last week the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce development released May jobs numbers that confirmed we have not only re-gained all the jobs lost since the Great Recession, but have the highest level of employment in 25 years.
And the clean energy sector is a big part of the Massachusetts economy.
Clean energy jobs have grown by 24 percent in Massachusetts over the last two years, with strong growth predicted to continue this year as well. The private sector invests more dollars per capita in Massachusetts clean technology businesses than in any other state, meaning more firms are getting started or getting bigger every day. Indeed, with over 5,500 clean energy firms and nearly 80,000 clean energy workers, Massachusetts now has one of the strongest clean energy job markets in the nation.
Solar has been a big part of that story. In just the last eight years, solar has gone from a nascent industry to one that employs almost 10,000 people.
Today, we have at least one solar installation in all but one of Massachusetts' 351 cities and towns – and we are currently working with that last community to develop a solar project soon. Statewide, there are more than 500 megawatts of solar installed spread over 14,000 projects, the equivalent of powering 79,000 homes annually. In fact, there were more solar projects installed in 2013 than all prior years combined. Massachusetts is leading the nation in solar energy deployment.
Our "Solarize Mass Program" has helped to dramatically expand the Massachusetts solar market, with 46 cities and towns participating to date. The participation by these communities has resulted in over 1,700 solar contracts representing more than 12 megawatts of installations.
Solar companies from all over the country are opening up more facilities here in Massachusetts, creating real jobs paired with significant clean energy deployment. At the same time, home-grown companies have expanded as well and provide consumers with a wide-array of choices for how to adopt solar for their home or business.
And our firms are developing important global partnerships as well.
For example, three Massachusetts companies – The Vertex Companies, Inc., Panel Claw and Solectria – joined recently with two Mexican partners to announce a 30-megawatt solar electric project that will be among the largest of its kind in Latin America.
And our own SolarOne supplied 306 solar-powered streetlights for Masdar City, a living clean tech laboratory outside of Abu Dhabi.
So, we have a lot of points on the board; but we have to keep going.
To continue our drive to 1.6 gigawatts by 2020 and recognizing the constraints imposed by our current net metering caps, we are working on legislation that would lift all net metering caps for solar, secure our goal in statute, and provide for a declining block net metering and solar incentive tariff program.
It's a great compromise among all the stakeholders that I believe would maintain the Commonwealth's commitment to a diverse solar market supporting all sectors and installers, and provide for revenue certainty for lower cost financing and reduce cost to ratepayers. This legislation is central to preparing for a sustainable solar market in Massachusetts, and I ask you to urge the legislature to pass this bill.
And in striving to make solar ownership ever more affordable, our Department of Energy Resources is developing a $30 million residential solar loan program, focused on addressing some of the cash flow challenges for individuals looking to purchase a solar project.
All of which is to say that solar is a key part of our clean energy future. That future won't happen overnight, because it can't. But it will happen, because it must. And it will be up to all of us to make it happen.
Government has an important role in this, especially if we govern for the next generation. My administration has consistently governed with an eye towards that future. That's why we have invested, consistently and strategically, in education, innovation and infrastructure, a proven strategy to grow jobs and expand opportunity. That's what our emphasis on clean technology is all about. And if it produces at once a sustainable planet for tomorrow and great jobs for today, why on earth would we not pursue such a path? To me, it not only puts the lie to the false choice between doing good and doing well, it exemplifies what it means to bear our generational responsibility.
Thank you again for the work you do, and for the honor and privilege of being your partner in it. Enjoy your conference.

Well I tried for the Recon, but the analyst that I talked to said that she couldn't get me approved, due to the number of inquiries on the account. That's the ONLY thing that
was holding me back from the Slate card, she said everything else, there was absolutely no problem with, my score and track record were fine. Just those darned inquiries. I may call again later this week to see if I can get a different Recon person.
Now, here's an irony. I also applied for, as my final ap of my spree, for a Bank of America Power Rewards Visa...and was APPROVED! Got an initial $5000 CL, this was not instant on line, but was instant approval when I called in. And guess what? They pulled EXPERIAN! What are the chances?? All of my pulls have been EX with one exception. So...now time to go into gardening mode for a year or two. I got what I wanted, so I'm happy about that.

The Value of Lifesaving
in Education
Education, training, vetting, everything you have to achieve using a Rescue Water Craft for the purpose of saving lives. The focus isn't rescue specific, its a plethora of needs to keep yourself, team and equipment safe and coming home at the end of the day. Personal watercraft employed in occupational use are called Rescue Water Craft (RWC). There are best practice and standards applied to these unique small boats. Few organizations appreciate the safety thresholds, K38 is dedicated towards changing this, with the incorporation of the Rescue Water Craft Specialists International Association (RWSCIA) we are sharing our standards operational base to enhance Lifesaving worldwide. It's not just about the patients or victims we respond to, its about building a successful platform to reduce potential mishaps in the field. What is the value of lifesaving? It is a sacred trust. What is life like after a successful rescue? What can a person achieve with a life well lived and what is lost when a life is extinguished? Let's talk about the values from both perspectives. Remember: The Life You Save May Be Your Own
Author,Wellness Entrepreneur James M. McLester stops by Good Deeds w/Dr. Sunday
in Motivation
James Michael McLester is in need of a life-saving kidney transplant.To know James is to know he loves music. He attended his first rock concert at Tarrant County Convention Center in 1978 at age eleven in Ft. Worth, TX. From that point forward, he knew that is what he was born to do and so he set out to follow his dream to become a
rock star. Those were some turbulent days but, through the grace of God, James has reconciled with his family, long-term girlfriend and is a professional drummer/musician with his Christian band SuperNova Remnant, Temple of BOOM with DJ Drue Mitchell of JUCE TV,
Manafest, and the worship team at Crossroads Tabernacle Church. However, when James was in his early thirties, he had a near-death experience soon after being diagnosed with end-stage renal disease. It was due to mercury toxicity leaching from the many silver fillings drilled into his teeth at a young age. Fortunately, James has been placed on the list for a kidney transplant at the Texas Transplant Institute in San Antonio. Though lifesaving, transplantation is enormously expensive. A campaign has been established in James' honor with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. If you are able and would like to help, please consider making a contribution by calling 800.642.8399 or visit helphopelive.org and search for James

Medicine, Miracles & Manifestations with Neurosurgeon John Turner, MD
in Health
Join Supernatural Girlz Patricia Baker & Helene Olsen as they speak with neurosugeon & author, John Turner, MD about his book Medicine, Miracles, and Manifestations: A Doctor's Journey Through the Worlds of Divine Intervention, Near-Death Experiences and Universal Energy.
Dr. Turner served as the sole neurosurgeon on the island of Hawaii for eighteen years, initially performing lifesaving procedures with a marginally trained staff and substandard equipment. He arrived with the desire to investigate the spiritual world and understand the meaning of life, death, and life-after-death. His metaphysical experiences began the first night he was on call and continue up to the present. Dr. Turner balances his time between stargazing from an observatory dome at his rain forest home and serving as a consulting physician for the Hilo Pain Center in Hilo, Hawaii.
He has come to believe that metaphysical events such as remote viewing, telepathy, consciousness, and life-after-death are verifiable manifestations of the manner in which the human brain interfaces with the universal consciousness that author Lynne McTaggart refers to as The Field.
Tune in to hear how Dr. Turner feels that paranormal is truly NORMAL!

What Does Your RWC Water Rescue Certification Mean To You and Others?
in Motivation
What does your water rescue certification mean to you and to others?
It's not a piece of paper. It's an representation of skillsets based on standardization of the best practices and current methods that enable you to commence your training or professional development and your ability to acquire the necessary hours and skills of expertise to perform your duties safely and with competence.
Certification programs are often mismanaged, misguided and abused both by agencies and participants such as instructor and student cadre. Mainly due to budget, time and resource.
The certification program enables you to understand specific risks, comprehension of water and equipment needs and to prepare for recovery and transport of survivors, casualities and equipment or produce searches and or manage events.
The liability issue is the cornerstone of capability. You have either done your homework, are physically and emotionally fit, have the proper equipment and hours underway and understand how to effectively utilize it in the exact environment you will be operating in, or you do not.
A certificate for a recipient who has been vetted and tested is not a 'get out of jail' free card. It is a serious responsibility of defending and representing standards. Occupational users need to be prepared for what a 3 year certificate enables them to utilize in field work. Certificates are revokable if the operator proves to be negligent and disregard their operational standards they were tested under.
This is a serious liability issue. Safety is a trust that you earn every time you deploy. It will require of you to produce values and exceed them. It will require of you to understand the parameters of your certification.
Let's have your attention, your focus and in the end, your understanding for this important subject. - K38/Shawn Alladio
KILLER NURSE-John Foxjohn
She was hired to nurse them back to health...instead, she took their lives.
For months, the DaVita Dialysis Center in Lufkin, Texas had been baffled by the rising number of deaths and injuries occurring in their clinic. In April alone, they'd rushed thirty-four patients to the hospital. But no one expected such a horrific cause to be behind it all.
Kimberly Clark Saenz was a well-liked licensed vocational nurse at the center. The East Texas nurse was a mother of two, and known for her smiles and the stories she told to help patients pass the time. But on April 28, 2008, witnesses came forward to say that instead of lifesaving medication, they'd seen Saenz adding toxic bleach to IV ports. Turns out, it wasn't the first time. Once caught, the shocking story of Saenz's murderous practices began to unravel…KILLER NURSE-John Foxjohn

Organ Donation and Transplantation
in Health
Every ten minutes another name is added to the national organ transplant waiting list. More than 120,000 men, women and children currently need lifesaving organ transplants. The United Network for Organ Sharing also reports that an average of 18 people die each day from a lack of available organs for transplant. Jessica Pearlman and Anthony Pugliese know what it's like to be on that waiting list. They also know what it's like to finally receive an organ that allows them to live another day. Emily Wiebke, Kathy Keller and Eileen Pearlman will share with us what it's like to be the mother of a heart transplant recipient. With 90% of Americans saying they support donation but only 30% taking the essential steps to become a donor, this Episode focuses on answering questions about who needs organ donation, why it's so important to donate organs and the difference organ donation can make in the lives of families.
