Customers seeking cash-related services, such as deposits and withdrawals, will no longer have to queue up at the general enquiries station first before being redirected to join the main queue.
Other infrastructural improvements include teller-assisted units, which are designed to save each customer an average of two minutes.

Company stopped from accepting abortion waste
Friday - 4/25/2014, 12:49am EDT
Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- County commissioners gave final approval Thursday to an order to stop an incinerator in Oregon from receiving medical waste until procedures are in place to ensure no fetal tissue is burned to generate power.
While taking the action, Marion County commissioners Sam Brentano and Janet Carlson said they were horrified to learn that the Marion County Resource Recovery Facility in rural Brooks might be burning medical waste that includes fetal tissue to generate electricity. Both strongly oppose abortions.
"We're going to get the bottom of it," Carlson said. "I want to know who knew, when they knew, how long they had known this was going on."
Brentano, however, noted that the county ordinance that sets the parameters for what can be accepted at the waste-to-energy plant allows for all human tissue.
"No rule or law has been broken, but there's an ethical standard that's been broken," he said.
The decision came about a month after reporters in the United Kingdom discovered that health authorities there used fetal remains to generate power at medical facilities. The Department of Health quickly banned the practice.
The Oregon facility is a partnership between the county and Covanta, a New Jersey-based firm that operates energy-from-waste power generation plants. The Marion County plant processes 550 tons of municipal solid waste a day, with only a small portion coming from medical sources. It sells the power to Portland General Electric.
Jill Stueck, a Covanta spokeswoman, said the company is cooperating with the suspension, and it does not seek out the waste that mortified commissioners.
"No one is saying bring us fetal tissue," Stueck said.
Some of the fetal material came from the Canadian province of British Columbia, where regional health authorities have a contract with waste management firm Stericycle and send biomedical waste, such as fetal tissue, cancerous tissue and amputated limbs to the Oregon facility, said Kristy Anderson, a spokeswoman with the British Columbia Health Ministry.
Stericycle, based in Lake Forest, Ill., has been criticized by anti-abortion groups for years because it disposes of aborted fetuses collected from family planning clinics. Company officials did not return phone calls seeking comment.
Jeff Bickford, environmental services division manager in Marion County, said the facility there has been taking material from British Columbia for five to seven years. He said clinical waste providers such as Stericycle bring in medical waste ranging from syringes and body parts to laboratory cultures and bodily fluids after hospitals and clinics place it into red bags and sealed containers.
"You've got biological agent and infectious diseases in there, so they're never opened once they're sealed," Bickford said.
Brentano said the county plans to rewrite its ordinance to spell out that no tissue from fetuses can enter the incinerator, and the providers will have to develop a workable system.
He stressed that other medical waste would be accepted.
"So if someone loses an arm, loses a finger?" Carlson asked at the meeting.
"That should go in and be burned," Brentano replied. "As gross as that is."

What are the differences between Mini lift, Lifestyle Lift and Short Scar Lift?
Doctor Answers 9
Brand name facelifts
The important concept in any type of face and neck lift is to customize the procedure for the anatomy of the patient and to fully address that anatomy. For a patient in their early 50's, a proper suspension of the loose face and neck muscles may not be much more involved than any of the above limited procedures and can generally involve minimal anesthesia.
It is definitely important to have a proper evaluation with a surgeon who is experienced in a number of different approaches to help find the best options for you.
Have a question? Ask a doctor
Minilift, Lifestyle lift and short scar facelift
Your question about the difference points up the confusion in the field of facelifts. First it is important to recognize that Lifestyle lift is the trademarked name of a cosmetic franchise built on marketing. Although there are variations in it the operation is considered a type of short scar facelift by most cosmetic surgeons. As with any extensive and potentially risky procedures it very important to investigate it thoroughly. In comparing the Minilift and short scar facelift the Minilift has a longer incision which gives access to the deeper tissue and therefore more opportunity to elevate and reinforce the supporting structures. This usually translates into a more effective and longer lasting lift. Taking it a step further a full facelift requires even more mobilization effectively treating the neck area with fat accumulation, bands, etc. while also treating the jowls, cheeks, etc. Your surgeon should be able to describe these various procedures to you, and then make a good recommendation to you based on your needs. Many times the facelift in whatever form can be combined with eyelid surgery, laser resurfacing, etc. to give a harmonious youthful appearance.

Differences between mini lift, lifestyle lift, and short scar lift?
What are the differences between Mini lift, Lifestyle Lift and Short Scar Lift?
- Every facelift should have an incision that follows the contours around the front of the ear (not in front of the ear). This allows excess skin to be removed.
- The underlying muscle layer (SMAS) must be dissected, elevated upward, trimmed and re-sutured. Placing threads, sutures or any other suspension method or folding the muscle layer upon itself does not work or last and should not be considered a "proper facelift" technique.
- From our standpoint, the aesthetics of the face needs to be considered and improved my shaping the face. Whether this means removing excess fat, shaping the cheeks/lips/chin with fillers or implants, these areas make the face appear more naturally attractive. What matters is that you see a Facial Plastic Surgeon who understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty that can be applied to your facelift.
Web reference: http://www.beverlyhills-plasticsurgery.com/palmer-celebrity-facelift/
Choose your facelift surgeon, not the name of the surgery for the best result
The Surgeon is More Important Than the Lift
Web reference: http://www.drprendiville.com/facelift.html
What is important for any patient is to understand from the surgeon (not the staff) what procedure is recommended, why? draw backs,? compare to other procedures available? and the risks? expectations? what part of the face the procedure will address and what it does not? Experience of the surgeon, Training? Board certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery? Facelift consultation is about 1-2 hours spent by the surgeon not the staff. Then proceed with the person you are most confident in.
Branded procedures are there just to make money, very little care to the patient.

June 7, 2013
With the smell of popcorn and corn dogs in the air, sponsors and guests celebrated the annual kickoff party to the 2013 Missouri State Fair on Thursday at the Lowell Mohler Assembly Hall on the fairgrounds.
"We're always counting down to the fair, but the kickoff party is the official start of fair season, so we're very excited," said Fair Director Mark Wolfe. "Right now we're working out all those final details. Contracts take between six and eight months to complete so it's nice to see that finished, and just getting everything ready to go for August."
The fair, scheduled for Aug. 8 through 18, will see many favorite returning and new acts, added director of marketing Tammie Nichols.
"We had a lot of great response to some of our free acts like the Hendrick's racing pig show, so we knew we wanted to invite them back so we could continue to provide affordable, fun entertainment for the whole family," Nichols said. "We're bringing in a lot of new things this year, too, trying to find that balance of what people will want to see."
Nichols' noted this year's theme, "Chicks Dig It," will be seen throughout the fair, culminating in a special Women in Agriculture Day on Aug. 15. Women will receive free admission to the fair and a special photo tribute of women in Missouri agriculture will be on display. Other special days will include Military Appreciation Day, Aug. 11; Missouri Farmers Care Food Drive ,Aug. 13; Youth in Ag Day, Aug. 17; and Law Enforcement and Firefighter Day, Aug 18. During these days discounted and free admission will be available to those who qualify.
"Something we're always excited about is seeing all the youths in agriculture out at the fair," Wolfe said. "The most important thing we do every year is to support our youth in 4H and FFA; they're the future of agriculture and the fair is a great place to them to compete and display their knowledge."
Wolfe said he was looking forward to the start of the fair and hoped to see big crowds in August.
"This is the 111th Missouri State Fair and I know we've got a lot of great things planned," he said. "We're excited to see everyone come out and celebrate all the fair has to offer."

Azarenka cheated using the injury time out
The WTA Tour needs to be more stringent with these so called injury time outs players have during the grand slams. I believe Azarenka used the injury time out because she wanted to cool down and hope Sloane Stephens would have a bad game and it happened.
The problem with an injury is a player can fake it. Azarenka claimed she had both a knee problem and a rib problem to give her more time. It took 10 minutes for the injury time out. It is clear to me players are cheating sometimes using this as a strategy. The WTA needs to change this rule make it more consistent and tight so players can't abuse it.

NHL lockout ends with no winners
The NHL lockout is the sports equivalent of the fiscal cliff.
You start with a problem created by long-running incompetence by those charged with solving the problem. You waste a lot of time doing absolutely nothing to solve the problem, instead spewing rhetoric and grandstanding for your own constituency. Then you set an arbitrary deadline to create a false sense of urgency. And finally you celebrate what amounts to a big bag of nothing.
Sorry, hockey boys, you are on your own.
While y'all were away, I have been busy watching the Seahawks develop into the real deal. I have been watching this Dwight Howard-Lakers meltdown unfold. I have been busy watching incredibly too much playoff football, including the Washington Redskins selfishly allowing/encouraging injured quarterback Robert Griffin III to play on a medically compromised knee. I have ND-'Bama plans, as well as a calendar packed with more NFL games.
Most of America already felt this way, but you have evoked this malaise in your own core constituency. Losing half of this season so soon after skipping an entire season in useless labor negotiations has led to fan fatigue and rhetoric spewed by Gary "John Boehner" Bettman or Donald "Nancy Pelosi" Fehr. It has done absolutely zero to change most feelings.
Bettman long has argued that the NHL has a spending problem. The league was paying too much for its players, was not getting a big enough cut of revenue and had to cut back or its franchises would be in peril of going under. Fehr talked of making the wealthy owners pay a bigger share, of taking care of the workers, of raising the NHL's debt ceiling.
This went on and on for what seemed like forever. Both sides entrenched and were unwilling to tackle the real problem. In Washington, this is spending more than is brought in. The only solution is difficult fiscal decisions about spending and taxation to bring about a bottom line that is not only balanced but begins paying off our debt. In hockey, this is about recognizing that it is no longer part of "The Big Four" — not in TV revenue, TV ratings, fan interest — and the league no longer can operate as such. This is, of course, a result of the sides' own folly, a folly they compounded with this latest work stoppage.
Hockey fans have what politicos like to call voter fatigue. There are only so many crises, so many cliffs, so many averted disasters we can hear about before we just stop caring. Want to know why only 50 percent of America votes? Because most people do not think their voice makes a difference.
I have come to feel this way as an NHL fan.
I am sick of their bickering, their inability to solve their real problems, their absolute lack of touch with anybody outside their bubble. This league has relied on the rabidity of its diehard fans for far too long, taking for granted that we will continue to pack buildings and watch the Stanley Cup after yet another work stoppage. They actually are trying to sell this idea that they "saved" the season, much like the "pols" are trying to sell that they saved us from the fiscal cliff.
How dumb do they think we are?
SEE YA!Some NHL stars went overseas during the lockout. Find out who went where.
You cannot "save" yourself from yourself. There is no valor is fixing what you broke. This is what you are supposed to do, clean up your mess. There is also an understanding you will learn from your mistakes and stop making them. And there is nothing from the fiscal cliff fiasco or the NHL lockout mess to suggest this has happened.
Gary "Boehner" Bettman and Donald "Pelosi" Fehr were busy afterward selling victory, or how they did the best they could, given the intractable jerkholes' opposition. We have come to expect this kind of obstructionist approach to so many things in life that it no longer seems weird or sits wrong with us. It should.
We no longer are willing to compromise to reach what is in the best interest of the whole, a sad truth belied by both this fiscal cliff and NHL lockout.
There were winners and losers declared, and I will leave that for somebody else to determine. What I know for sure is the greater good of the country was not a winner in the fiscal cliff deal and the greater good of the game was not one in the lockout. Both were given lip service, if not just simply ignored altogether.
As Thomas Jefferson, among others, once remarked: "In a democracy, people get the government they deserve." And if the founding fathers could have envisioned guys on skates with sticks trying to score goals, Jefferson probably would have said hockey fans are getting exactly the sport we deserve as well.

Gotze misfires again as Bayern Munich suffer third straight league loss
Despite going ahead 1-0 through Bastian Schweinsteiger and enjoying 72 percent possession, Bayern Munich's Champions League hangover continued as the lethargic Bavarians slipped to a third straight league defeat 2-1 at lowly Freiburg.
Admir Mehmedi deservedly equalised just after the half-hour mark, and ex-Bayern striker Nils Petersen popped up with the winner in the final minute for relegation-threatened Freiburg.
Interestingly, it's the first time Bayern have let slip a lead in some 122 Bundesliga...

White Sox lose in 12, ending 9-game winning streak
CHICAGO White Sox manager Robin Ventura went to his bullpen until it was empty Saturday, making every effort and every move to keep his team's winning streak intact.
Ventura eventually ran out of relievers and Chicago's nine-game run came to an end with a 10-8 loss to the Seattle Mariners.
Ichiro Suzuki homered twice and John Jaso hit a tiebreaking double for the Mariners, who pushed across two runs in the 12th against closer Addison Reed.
Now that the winning streak is over, Chicago's goal is to keep playing the same brand of baseball.
"It has been nice. We've done a lot of good things. We plan on continuing," Ventura said. "You can't win every game, but you know we are in every game, so that's the good news. We plan on being in games from here on out, too."
Chicago starter Gavin Floyd gave up four homers, two to Suzuki, and the White Sox used nine pitchers in a game that took 4 hours, 16 minutes.
"We did the right things, they just had a little more today. We had a chance to win it and just couldn't get it done," said Chicago's Gordon Beckham, who homered and had four RBIs.
Seattle's bullpen shut out the White Sox over the final four innings to end Chicago's longest winning streak since July 2010.
"It was unbelievable," Beckham said. " It was a long day. We used everybody. You hate to lose but when you don't have anybody else in the bullpen, it's one of those things. It is what it is."
Tom Wilhelmsen (2-1) pitched three scoreless innings, allowing one hit. Hisashi Iwakuma earned his second save by pitching the 12th, retiring Adam Dunn on a grounder with a runner on second to end it.
"Our bullpen came in and shut the door, and we were hitting one through nine," said Seattle's Michael Saunders, who homered and had four hits.
On Friday night, Saunders dropped a fly ball in the eighth inning that led to three unearned runs and helped the White Sox to a 7-4 win. He was able to make up for it Saturday.
"The White Sox were really hot coming into this series and we lost a tough one last night," Saunders said. "It's easy to lose focus coming into a 12-inning game. When you give up a lead, it's easy to get down on yourselves. It's a hell of a win."
Jesus Montero led off the 10th with a double against Reed (0-1). One out later, Jaso drove in pinch-runner Munenori Kawasaki with another double. Chone Figgins followed with an RBI single.
Chicago's Dayan Viciedo tied the game with a two-out solo homer in the eighth off Stephen Pryor - the eighth home run of the game, four by each team.
The Mariners had rallied with three runs in the eighth off Jesse Crain for an 8-7 lead on Brendan Ryan's two-run double and an error on catcher A.J. Pierzynski, when his throw attempting to nab a stealing Ryan skipped past third and into left field.

Chile showed a glimpse of their potential when they shocked the former world champions 2-0 in the group stages. Chile won their first two group matches convincingly against Australia and Spain, but lost to Netherlands and finished on the second spot of the Group B. Chile have a tough task ahead as they face Brazil in the Round-of-16.
They came third in the South America qualifying zone behind Argentina and Colombia to qualify for their second straight, and ninth overall, World Cup finals. They sealed their place in Brazil by coming back from 3-0 down to earn a 3-3 draw with Colombia. In South Africa in 2010, Chile made it to the last-16 much like the memorable 1998 team which featured Ivan Zamorano and Marcelo Salas, before both sides came up against Brazil. Chile's best result was third place when they hosted the tournament. Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli has been in charge since December 2012 when he replaced Claudio Borghi because of poor results. His side play a strict pressing game counting on keeping the ball themselves and trying to get as much possession as is possible.
Country Profile:
Population: 17.25 million
Area: 756,102 km2
Capital: Santiago
Currency: Chilean Peso
Federation: Chilean Football Federation founded in 1895, affiliated to FIFA in 1913.
Registered players: 478,500
Colours: Red shirts, blue shorts, white socks
World Cup appearances: 9 (1930, 1950, 1962, 1966, 1974, 1982, 1998, 2010, 2014)
World Cup record: 3rd (1962), second round (1998, 2010), first round (1930, 1950, 1966, 1974, 1982)
Copa America: finalist (1955, 1956, 1979, 1987), 3rd (1926, 1941, 1945, 1967, 1991), 4th (1916, 1917, 1919, 1920, 1924, 1935, 1939, 1947, 1953, 1999)
How they qualified: Finished third in the South American qualifying group with 28pts behind Argentina 32, Colombia 30, Ecuador 25, Uruguay 25, with 9 wins, 1 draw, 6 defeats, 29 goals for and 25 against.
Top clubs: Colo Colo, Universidad de Chile, Universidad Catolica
Key players: Alexis Sanchez, Arturo Vidal, Jorge Valdivia, Gary Medel, Claudio Bravo
Coach: Jorge Sampaoli (since December 2012)
Sampaoli says his football is inspired by that of another Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, who was coach of Chile before Borghi's reign between 2007-2011, which is a long time for Beilsa's intense brand of management. His sides get stretched to virtual breaking point and it was under his charge that they held out to a 2-1 defeat against Spain in 2010 despite playing 50 minutes with ten men. Chile seem to have the players to lead a satisfactory campaign led by Barcelona ace Sanchez, and the Juventus midfielder Vidal who were both at the World Cup last time out and have garnered important experience at club level since then too.
Sanchez scored four goals in the qualifiers and Vidal and Eduardo Vargas, who plays for Brazilian club Gremio Porto Alegre, both scored five as Chile banged home 29 goals in the South American group games. Sampaoli's main source of concern however is a leaky backline after they let it a worrying 25 goals in the qualifiers despite the presence of Real Sociedad 'keeper Claudio Bravo and defenders such as Gary Medel and Mauricio Isla of Juventus. Chile were impressive winners in a friendly against England at Wembley in 2013 and the team promise to be one of the best to watch in Brazil, just as Marcelo Bielsa's side were in 2010.

Ramsey boy, 8, doing well after laser ablation surgery on previously "inoperable" brain tumor; a first of pediatric neurosurgery
Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota performs first known minimally invasive Visualase surgery on rare mature teratoma tumor; results showcased on nationally syndicated talk show, The Doctors
ST. PAUL, Minn., June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — A rare brain tumor in a previously inoperable area of an 8-year-old boy's brain remains dormant nearly four months after a second laser ablation surgery, Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota reported today upon the story being featured on the nationally syndicated talk show, The Doctors.
An MRI scan on May 20 of Gavin Pierson of Ramsey, Minn., showed that the formerly peach-sized tumor, a rare form known as a mature teratoma, has shrunk more than 40 percent from its peak, said Dr. Joseph Petronio, medical director of pediatric neurosurgery at Children's, who performed the minimally invasive surgery on Gavin.
He added that the hospital's new Visualase laser, which was threaded deep into Gavin's brain through a 3-millimeter pinhole, drilled just above his temple directly to the tumor site under guidance of an MRI-catheter system, appears to have destroyed the previously active part of the tumor.
That tumor tissue had regrown repeatedly after earlier attempts to address it with conventional brain surgery, or craniotomy, since Gavin's tumor was diagnosed two years ago. Another such operation would have endangered Gavin's ability to speak and walk because of the high risk of damaging surrounding brain tissue, Dr. Petronio said.
After both laser treatments, Gavin was able to return home the next day and back to school within a week – in contrast to a hospital stay of at least a week, including several days of intensive care, following open brain surgery.
Gavin is the first patient in the U.S. with a mature teratoma brain tumor to undergo this pioneering laser procedure since the Visualase laser system was approved for non-experimental use in the United States in 2007.
"The technology we've used to treat Gavin represents a first for pediatric neurosurgery and showcases the significant advancements that are possible," said Dr. Petronio of the Visualase system, which Children's acquired late last year. The purchase was supported by a fundraising campaign by Children's and Gavin's parents, Steve and Nicole Pierson.
Children's and the family also successfully petitioned a pharmaceutical company to grant Gavin access to an experimental drug to help control the tumor's growth.
Dr. Petronio said that although Gavin's MRI results are encouraging, it's impossible to make a clear prognosis because Gavin is the first patient to undergo a Visualase procedure for a tumor like his. However, because of the non-invasive nature of the treatment, repeat procedures are possible if the tumor were to start to regrow.
"What's really exciting is the path this technology opens to areas of the brain that were for all intents and purposes closed to us because of the risk of collateral damage to nearby brain tissue," he said. "To think we may be reaching the day when the term 'inoperable brain tumor' is obsolete in children is extraordinary."
Children's pediatric neurosurgery program is the largest in the region, performing more than 450 brain surgeries per year.
Mature teratomas (Gavin dubbed his "Joe Bully") affect less than 1 percent of people afflicted with brain tumors and have long been viewed with fascination by surgeons. They have a dense consistency, likened to cement, and sometimes include odd material such as teeth, fingernails and eyeballs. If left untreated, they can be fatal.
"Every day is a fight: a fight for Gavin, a fight for our family and a fight against Joe Bully," said Nicole Pierson, Gavin's mother. "It's been a very long road to get here, but we're incredibly hopeful and grateful to the team at Children's. We hope that our experience will help other families in the same situation as us."
Gavin will continue to be monitored closely and receive surgical and pharmaceutical treatments as needed to reduce the size of his brain tumor.
The Visualase laser system was approved in the United States in 2007. It is in use at more than 40 centers, including 15 pediatric hospitals. In pediatric patients, including at Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, Visualase has primarily been used to address brain lesions causing epilepsy.

Genetic Selection Opens New Doors For Fertility Clinics
With the advances in genetic screening and fertility, the future of prospective parents being able to pick and choose what traits they want in their yet-to-be conceived children may not be too far away. But for biologists, such ideas beg many questions about ethics and evolution.
Charles Darwin first set down the principle of species change through natural selection.
But when it comes to humans, "natural selection" is becoming increasingly harder to define. It has already been challenged by medicine, habitat, diet and other factors that affect lifespan, reproduction and survivability.
The ability of genetic selection would mean our species' evolutionary path would be even more radically changed. And it's vision that doesn't seem too far away.
According to an AFP report, clinics all over the U.S. already provide would-be parents in-depth profiles of potential sperm and egg donors.
The Xytex Corporation in Atlanta already offers a long list of genetically coded physical attributes, including length of eyelashes, the presence of freckles and whether ear lobes are detached.
Most heterosexual couples shop in this market to compensate for either male or female infertility, yet there are no such laws that prevent matching a donor egg with donor sperm to create an embryo that can be purchased and implanted in the buyer's womb.
One "embryo bank" in Texas offered this option before it reluctantly withdrew the procedure under an ethical firestorm.
Experts believe even parents who don't need outside help to procreate may soon be signing up for "preimplantation genetic diagnosis" of embryos to check not only for genetic defects and disease but also for sex and desirable traits as well.
Marcy Darnovsky of the Center for Genetics and Society in Oakland, California, told the AFP that science needs to look carefully at these selection technologies.
She said while it isn't bad to have a desire for a girl or a boy, you can now find prospective mothers using chatrooms and bulletin boards who don't just want a girl, but a particular kind of girl.
One example being: "I want to go shopping with her, play Barbie Dolls, paint her toenails pink."
Darnovsky wondered, "Ëœwhat are they going to do if they don't get that kind of child, take them back?'
The leap from genetic selection to genetic engineering may be an even more problematic scenario for some.
Experts say it could happen in two ways: For example, gene therapy alters genes in a diseased organ in order to affect a cure.
But changes wrought by so-called germ-line therapy alter the blueprint itself, the human genome, and would thus be passed on to offspring.
Peter Ward, a scientist at the University of Washington and author of "Future Evolution", said the pressure to change genes will probably come from parents wanting to guarantee their child is a boy or a girl, or to endow them with beauty, intelligence, musical talent or a sweet nature.
Ward said last month in the journal Science that germ-line therapy may be out of reach, for now, but were science to master the genome, the temptation to tweak it to increase smarts, looks and longevity would be overwhelming.
"One day, we will have it in our power to bring a new human species into this world," he said.
However, Steven Pinker, an evolutionary biologist at Harvard University, believes all of these worries are misplaced.
"Genetics is far too complex to allow for easy manipulation of human traits," he said.
He pointed out that nearly all diseases and traits are determined not by one or two genes but the interaction of many. In other words, there is no such thing as a master gene for intelligence or musicality.
Pinker doubts that parents would take a risk greater than five percent that something would go wrong.
"Testing is easy and safe. Manipulation is hard and risky."

The Los Angeles Dodgers' wives plan to continue investing their efforts into a series of monthly outreach projects in partnership with The Dream Center, a volunteer-led organization that provides for the needs of 80,000 people each month.
"We are forever grateful for this partnership with the Dodgers. They are just not coming out to hand out a bag of food, they are coming out to invest into the needs of the community," Pastor Matthew Barnett, co-founder of The Dream Center told The Christian Post.
The idea for the partnership started when Ellen Kershaw, wife of Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw and a few other wives wanted to broaden their community outreach efforts. more >>
Pope Francis recently called for a "legitimate redistribution" of wealth when meeting with United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, saying governments should work to end the "economy of exclusion" that plagues the poor and the middle class from rising up the economic ladder.
The pope made his comments while meeting with Ban Ki-moon and other United Nations agency heads meeting in Rome this week. He encouraged the United Nations to help the poor around the world by mobilizing a culture of generosity.
"I do not hesitate to state, as did my predecessors, that equitable economic and social progress can only be attained by joining scientific and technical abilities with an unfailing commitment to solidarity accompanied by a generous and disinterested spirit of gratuitousness at every level," Francis said. more >>
A number of Christian charity organizations have produced gift catalogs showing alternative gift-giving ideas as a unique way of celebrating Mother's Day. The alternative gifts, given in the name of a mother, help improve the lives of poverty-stricken children and families struggling to survive in developing countries.
"As we celebrate Mother's Day and thank God for the influence of our mothers and wives, please remember the millions of children and mothers who have never heard of Jesus, [the One] who will provide for them," exhorted Dr. K.P. Yohannan, president of Gospel for Asia, as reported by the National Religious Broadcasters.
Gospel for Asia is encouraging people to honor their mothers by supporting a Bridge of Hope child. The ministry's goal is to equip at least 2,000 children with education, meals, and the love of Christ by Mother's Day. more >>
Chicago is the most recent city to give the controversial "Jesus the Homeless" sculpture a permanent residence. Even though some Christians feel that the image of Jesus as a homeless person is offensive, the artist believes it's a clear representation of the Gospel message.
The life-size bronze sculpture depicts Jesus Christ as a homeless person sleeping on a park bench and was unveiled Monday at its newest location, which is in front of the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago.
Earlier this year, a woman in Davidson, N.C., called police fearing for the safety of her upscale community after believing that the statue was a vagrant sleeping outside St. Alban's Episcopal Church. more >>
WASHINGTON — A panel of experts on economics and theology who have recently come together to author a book on poverty believe that anti-poverty efforts need a biblical answer, but the Bible does not teach socialism.
Various experts brought together by the American Enterprise Institute presented their views on combatting poverty Tuesday afternoon at an event titled "For the least of these: A biblical answer to poverty."
The panel, which was cosponsored by the Institute for Faith, Work & Economics, was comprised of some of the authors involved in a book of the same name released by WestBow Press last February. more >>
A Christian nurse from Detroit with over 41 years of experience in her profession shared about her life-changing spiritual journey while working in a number of impoverished countries in Asia.
Vicki Augustiniak shares in Really, God-Bangladesh? the physical struggles she went through while traveling and working in several Asian countries, including Bangladesh and the Philippines, as well as the difficulties she faced making sense of things when confronted with the harsh reality people lived in. But she also shares in her book stories of human ingenuity that inspired her the most.
The author and registered nurse says that profits from Really, God-Bangladesh?, published by InspiringVoices, will go toward building a hospital in the Chilmary district of Northern Bangladesh. more >>

The couple found the lost dog in the mountains
A lesbian couple in Washington, United States, helped rescue a starving stray dog they found in the mountains by acting injured.
The couple had heard reports of the dog living in the wilderness at Evans Creek, who was timid and 'unapproachable'.
They initially approached the dog with food, but repeated attempts to feed him failed.
After hours of trying, they decided on a different approach - by acting injured to show the dog they weren't a threat.
The amazing work of Russia's Orphan Bear Rescue Centre
A one-and-a-half hour drive from Moscow across a vast frozen tundra takes you to one of Russia's most needed animal care facilities.
The Orphan Bear Rescue Centre (OBRC), run by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), is truly an incredible place.
The bear cubs it houses are all orphaned refugees from the cold Russian winters, often the survivors of hunters who have killed their mothers.
Quality food and local produce in northern Norway
Tromsø is known as the capital of the Arctic – surrounded by spectacular fjords and mountains, throughout the years this has been the gateway for expeditions into the Arctic regions.
Built on the trapping and fishing industries, Tromsø has traditionally been a wealthy city – often described as 'the Paris of the north'.
Biffhuset is a primarily a steak restaurant. A solid, dependable choice for quality food from quality local produce.
The Arctic destinations of Narvik and Tromsø offer unique opportunities to experience the indigenous Sami culture of the region.
The Sami are the indigenous people of the Arctic region that covers the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia.
Traditionally, the Sami have been masters of coastal fishing, fur trapping, and sheep herding, but they are best known as the reindeer herders of these lands.
The Sami trace their history in this region for at least 5,000 years.
Pussies galore!
A new lesbian dating app has released a new version, and it turns out to be just pictures of cats.
For April Fools' Day HER joked they were rebranding as HER CAT, an app for lesbians and cats.
On the social and dating app, which you can download on the iPhone App store, every user's photo is of their cat.
For those who are without a whiskered friend, don't worry, as your photo will be replaced with someone else's cat (this is potentially false feline advertising, so just let them know.)
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is urging people to take action to protect animals from wildlife crime and the illegal wildlife trade this World Wildlife Day (Tuesday 3 March)
Animals are exploited all over the world – from small exotic birds to mighty elephants – for financial gain.
The global industry of illegal wildlife trade is estimated to be worth more than £12.3 billion ($19 billion USD). In some extreme cases, profits from this trade are being used to fund ongoing acts of violence on humans and trade of other illegal goods and services.
Powerful videos about whales, tigers and elephants
Hollywood's celebrities have a lot to say about the threats facing wild animals including whales, tigers and elephants.
So it is fitting that with awards season under way the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), which works to protect animals around the world, is releasing a series of video messages from the stars as part of its PROTECT campaign, which discusses the plight of endangered animals, as well as the importance of animal welfare education in conserving species.
We're dreaming of a white – and largely Scandinavian – Christmas

Poachers kill one elephant every 15 minutes
Two of the largest animals that walk on land – elephants and rhinos – are in crisis. Their very existence in the latter part of the 21st century is in doubt.
In the past three years alone, more than 100,000 elephants have been killed. That's an average of one dead elephant every 15 minutes due to poaching. This figure is in addition to unprecedented habitat loss due to increased human development. In the last century alone, elephants have completely disappeared from three countries in Africa.
Benjy the gay bull, saved from an end in an Irish slaughterhouse, is settling in at Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norwich, England and is already making new friends
A same-sex attracted Charlolais breed bull from Ireland who made headlines around the world after a campaign was started to save his life has made it to his new home in the UK and is settling in just fine.
Dubbed 'Benjy the Gay Bull,' he arrived at Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norwich yesterday and was greeted on arrival by a bullock named Alex in what some are calling his first kiss.
Benjy will soon be castrated to settle his temperament, which is the usual practice for bulls who are not going to be bred.
The animal sanctuary that has agreed to take Benjy the gay bull so that he did not go to the slaughterhouse plans to sterilize him when he arrives just in case he secretly swings both ways
A same-sex attracted Irish bull that became the center of an international crowdfunding campaign to save him from being slaughtered is going to be given 'the snip' when he arrives in England next month,
Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norwich sterilizes all of the animals it agrees to take in to stop them from breeding as if they did it would prevent the shelter from taking in more adult animals that needed housing.
New survey reveals dog-friendly hotels of Great Britain
We're used to wondering whether a hotel is gay-friendly when we're planning our holidays.
But with a believed nine million dogs residing in the UK, it seems over half of us are just as likely to question whether a hotel is dog-friendly, according to new research.
A new survey from Best Western has shown that over half of holidaymakers plan their trip around their canine counterparts.
The results also indicated that 40% of respondents avoid pubs and 30% avoid hotels where dogs aren't welcome.
And meet the other selfless animal heroes who picked up IFAW awards this week
Imagine sharing your home with 20 dogs, many of them maimed by horrific injuries. That's daily life for a lesbian couple from Manchester, north-west England, who save dogs from Bulgaria and Cyprus who would otherwise be killed.
Emma Billington (pictured below) started as a dog walker and set up her dog crèche, Daycare4dogs, seven years ago.
Her dream was to use the profits to rescue and rehome injured and cruelly-treated dogs from overseas.

We feel like experts after playing with the dogs and talking to the dog sledding champs at the ICEHOTEL in Swedish Lapland
I've never heard dogs howl like that.
They were barking, yelping, hopping over each other and getting tangled in their harnesses tied to the sleigh.
'They're excited, and they're ready to go,' said our guide, a dog sledding expert who loves and trains these huskies to take her across the frozen tundra days at a time.
Sure enough, the moment we strapped ourselves into the dog sled, all we could hear was the wind and the sled sliding in the snow.
Find out how people in the UK, from Queen guitarist Brian May to concerned locals, are taking a stand against the controversial killing of hundreds of badgers this year
There's a battle between those that care about animal welfare and some farmers and politicians in the UK who support a controversial badger cull.
At the center of that battle are hundreds of badgers that are being killed as part of a pilot cull this month in an effort to stem the spread of bovine tuberculosis (bTB).
For years, some farmers have blamed badgers for the spread of bovine tuberculosis (bTB), a disease which mainly affects cattle. Although humans can contract it from eating infected meat or drinking infected milk, the risk of human infection is low.
A pair of gay flamingos at Edinburgh Zoo has adopted the chick after its biological parents knocked it out of the nest
A pair of salmon-pink male Chilean Flamingos has adopted a fluffy grey newborn chick after it was knocked out of the nest by its parents.
The newborn is one of five Chilean Flamingos babies to Edinburgh Zoo's flock of 33 adult birds this year, following successful breeding for the first time since 2010, reported the Mirror.
Meet the gay campaigner who is working to end commercial whale hunting in Iceland
For over a decade, openly gay former TV presenter Sigursteinn Másson has been at the forefront of attempts to rid Iceland of whaling.
While his work for gay human rights was applauded, his attempts to save some of the world's most magnificent creatures from a grizzly death initially saw him dubbed a traitor and even a terrorist by some in his home country.
Másson, 47, who works for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) didn't start out as a whales campaigner.
New partnership with IFAW will raise animal welfare awareness to Gay Star News readers across the globe during Animal Month and beyond

Boss fired language writer because he thought his article about homophones was about promoting homosexuality
A writer is speaking out about being fired for writing an article about homophones after his boss thought it could be linked to homosexuals.
Tim Torkildson, a former employee at the Nomen Global Language Center based in Utah, says he was removed from his role as head of social media because of the mistake.
His boss claimed his article, which explained homophones means words that sound the same but have different meanings (such as their and there), could give off the impression the school promoted homosexuality.
Gareth Johnson discovers straight people and tan lines are not allowed on a tropical escape in Australia's far north Queensland
There's not many gay resorts in Australia.
There are lots of gay and lesbian friendly places - on the whole Australia is a pretty liberal country and most accommodation providers are keen for business, whatever your sexuality.
Turtle Cove is exclusively gay. No straights allowed.
I'm not sure how they screen for that, if you wanted to try and smuggle a straight guy in I don't think it would be too hard, but in principle it is gay only.

No bears, animals or gay men alike, were harmed in the making of this article
Lurking in the woods at night, looking for bears, is a common enough activity for many a gay man.
But in this case we're looking for bears of another kind – the real deal - brown, with claws and hopefully not too grizzly.
We're deep in the Carpathian Mountains on an organized Transylvanian Backwaters tour and are hopeful of a sighting – but will the bears come out to play?
Researchers have documented a pair of male brown bears in a Croatian wildlife sanctuary who have been over heels for each other for six years
A study of two male Croatian brown bears in a wildlife sactuary by Polish researchers has revealed a six year sexual relationship between the two.
Researchers from the Polish Academy of Sciences Department of Wildlife Conservation spent 116 hours observing the two bears and discovered what they are terming 'the first observations of long‐term, recurrent fellatio in captive brown bears kept in proper conditions.'
During their observations they recorded 28 sexual encounters between the two bears.

Peter Chiarelli confirms Marc Savard has concussion
|01.24.11 at 8:21 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli announced Monday night that center Marc Savard has suffered a moderate concussion and it out indefinitely following a hit he took Saturday from Avalanche defenseman Matt Hunwick. Savard flew back to Boston Sunday and underwent testing on Monday.
"After being examined by the Bruins medical staff today, Marc has been diagnosed with a moderate concussion," Chiarelli said in a statement. "There is no timetable on his return and no further updates at this time."
Savard was slow to get up after the second-period hit from his former teammate led to his head hitting the glass at the Pepsi Center. He had a cut on his head and held a towel to his face as he left the ice with the assistance of teammates and trainer Don DelNegro.
The center missed the first 23 games of the season as he worked to come back from post-concussion syndrome, which stemmed from the hit to the head he took last March 7 from Penguins forward Matt Cooke.
For a frame of reference, David Krejci's concussion on Nov. 6 was also deemed moderate on the mild-moderate-severe scale that is currently used to grade concussions. He returned on Nov. 20 after missing six games.
