Tiger Schulmann's Schools To Hold Bully Shield, Regional Anti-Bullying Event
On May 22, 2013, All Tiger Schulmann´s locations will be sponsoring, "Bully Shield." This is a two-part event which helps children understand and overcome the bullying process.
Elmwood Park, NJ (PRWEB) May 15, 2013
On May 22, 2013, All Tiger Schulmann´s locations will be sponsoring "Bully Shield." This is a two-part event which helps children understand and overcome the bullying process.
The event begins with a special seminar, led by each school´s instructor. The seminar is designed to be fun, informative and interactive. After the seminar they schedule the second part of their Bully Shield program where they receive martial arts training. The training is a practical class where the child learns striking and blocking techniques. After attending both classes, the child receives a certificate of completion.
Since their founding in 1984, Tiger Schulmann´s has helped tens of thousands of children overcome bullying in their lives. Many of these bullied children have even gone on to become instructors themselves.
All children, ages 7-12, are welcome to attend. The fee to attend the event is $25. Upon completion of the course, attendees will receive a special t-shirt and a certificate.
"Bullying is a process which develops in stages. Tiger Schulmann has spent many years analyzing the dynamics of bullying. Together with his top instructors, they developed formulas for overcoming bullying at any stage," states Alon Feder, Director of Marketing.
"The first stage of bullying is a testing phase. The bully will test another child to solicit a response. If the response happens to be fear, or an exaggerated attempt to ignore the test, the bully knows it´s safe to continue the process and escalates the bullying. We teach children to understand the stages involved, and what they can do to halt the process. The emphasis is upon diffusing the bullying verbally and with body language."
Another extremely important aspect of Bully Shield is to develop self-confidence in the children who attend.
"If there´s anything which stops bullying in its tracks, it´s self-confidence," says Feder. Bullying has finally reached deeply into public awareness. Though Tiger Schulmann´s has helped children overcome bullying for so many years, it´s in the perfect position to help even more children due to increased the increased media regarding the epidemic bullying problem children face every day.
Tiger Schulmann´s has decided to share its knowledge with multiple communities in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. They will show children who have suffered from bullies that there is something they can do immediately. Bullied children can believe in themselves and find that they don´t have to put up with being bullied any longer.

A group of autorickshaw drivers went in a procession from Tiger Circle to Manipal Police Station in protest against, what they termed as, harassment by the police during nights in the name of investigation in the Manipal gang-rape case, here on Tuesday.
A medical student of Manipal University was kidnapped and gang-raped in Manipal on Thursday night. The student, who fractured her leg in the assault, had been admitted to the Kasturba Hospital here, and she is recovering. Raghavendra, an autorickshaw driver, said that the drivers had extended their full cooperation to the police in the investigation of the gang-rape case. But what was irritating the drivers was that they were being picked late in the night from their houses for questioning.
The police were picking up at least three autorickshaw drivers during the nights for questioning.
The family members got frightened when the police came late in the night to their houses. "Instead of picking up during the nights, the police could ask us to come to the police station during the daytime. We will willingly go there," Mr. Raghavendra said.
'Doing our job'
Sadananda Thippannanavar, Inspector at Manipal police station, said that the police were only doing their job by questioning the autorickshaw drivers. The investigation process could not be stopped and they wanted to nab the culprits in the gang-rape case. The police had no personal grudge against the drivers.
"We are not harassing, ill-treating or beating anyone. We have picked up only those autorickshaw drivers who were on duty on the night of June 20. We are doing our best to collect information related to the incident," Mr. Thippannanavar said.
Later, at a press conference, Pratap Reddy, IGP (Western Range) said that there was no question of the police harassing the autorickshaw drivers.
"We have not detained any autorickshaw driver for a long time. Many autorickshaw unions and autorickshaw drivers are cooperating with us. Their cooperation is essential to identify the autorickshaw (used in the crime). We want more of their cooperation," he said.

Originally written on Pacers Pulse | Last updated 11/9/14
I'm not gonna bother with a long recap. Right now, the Indiana Pacers are simply no match for the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs are just smoother, more co-ordinated, more efficient and better at both ends of the floor right now, and it showed in the 101-79 drubbing they gave to the Pacers on Tuesday.None of the Pacers played well, but that's probably because the Spurs didn't let them. It was ugly for the blue and gold for the majority of the night, save for maybe a short stretch before the end of the first half when they brought a 20 point deficit back down to 9. Roy Hibbert was 1-7 with 2 points and 3 turnovers in 27 minutes. The 179-year-old Tim Duncan? 14 points and 11 rebounds to go with 3 steals and 3 blocks in 26 minutes.It was a much needed wake up call for the Pacers because even though they were 2-1 to start the season (before this loss) they were playing pretty crappy basketball. Losing Danny Granger indefinitely is no excuse. They need to get their act together soon, and t...

Mother of Ten - Shape Up Mom - Kathryn Sansone and Weight Watchers Offer
Tips on how to Jingle Away the Stress These Holidays
NEW YORK, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- With thoughts of shopping lists, holiday menus and decorating looming in our minds, it's no wonder it becomes challenging to get through the holiday season stress-free. According to an Opinion Research Survey conducted in October 2007 -- almost half the women polled reported experiencing increased stress during the holidays.
Kathryn Sansone, the one Oprah calls the "model of all motherhood,"
says that women tend to be overachievers when it comes to raising kids and
managing careers. When holiday preparations are added to the mix, many
women turn to unhealthy coping skills. Sansone has teamed up with Weight

Ask Ellen: English-Language Lagging
Dear Ellen,
I am a third-year fourth-grade teacher in an urban school district. We have many children of immigrant families who seem to pick up English like magic in the first few years, but by the time they get to my grade level, their standardized-test scores are significantly lower than those of their native English-speaking peers. What can I do to help my English-language learners (ELLs) catch up?
Dear Frances,
You raise a very important question. Current research about language learners tends to defy conventional wisdom: Young children do not learn language faster than adults. They certainly have fewer inhibitions about trying out their new vocabularies, and they have an uncanny ability to pick up accents, but they're sliding by on the strength of their 3,000- to 5,000-word social vocabularies, sounding great but understanding little.
Like adult language learners, they often won't admit they are lost, so you need to look beyond what they say ("Oh, sure, I understand") to how they perform in class, on independent assignments (including homework), and on standardized tests.
Students who started school as non-English speakers probably lag behind their peers on core vocabulary by at least 5,000 words by fifth grade, which helps explain the achievement gap. So, if vocabulary is the heart of the matter, teachers look for ways to increase English-language learners' vocabulary within every lesson and content area.
Direct vocabulary instruction (the good old vocabulary word list) is a little helpful, but we know that students will retain many more new words when the new words are taught and used repeatedly in context -- and with visual accompaniment. Learning new words can be exciting, and if you model how you actually learn new words, you will see your students start to share the new words they come across.
Reading aloud in class can be scary for ELLs; the possible land mine of an unfamiliar word lurks in every paragraph. But your thoughtful concern for them suggests to me that your classroom is a safe place to risk making mistakes and where challenges while learning the notoriously difficult-to-pronounce English language are dealt with light-heartedly. Independent reading should always be valued, but reading materials for ELLs should be carefully selected. A "just right" ELL book might have new words highlighted and explained on every page, for example.
As you create an environment that supports language development across all content areas, you want to be sure your students have opportunities for purposeful conversation. You might want to ask yourself, "Are my activities structured so students have to talk with to one another? Am I providing content and structure for meaningful conversations to happen? Am I helping my students extend their vocabulary and sentence structure? Are my students interacting with students of all backgrounds and language abilities?"
Classroom Instruction That Works, by Robert J. Marzano, Debra Pickering, and Jane E. Pollock, lists the nine most effective strategies in order of promoting academic success. Classroom Instruction That Works with English Language Learners, by Jane D. Hill and Kathleen M. Flynn, is my favorite because it identifies why those strategies are critical to ELLs and how they can be used for students at different stages of learning academic English. You might also want to become familiar with successful programs designed for learners of academic English, such as Guided Language Acquisition Design (GLAD).
You, Frances, like many more experienced teachers, struggle to find that fine balance between making content accessible for all and imparting that content in the required time. I encourage you to work with your grade-level colleagues, your administrators, and district-level curriculum specialists to help guide you in making these important decisions in support of your ELLs. There isn't an easy answer, but I think you'll find it helpful to be continually conscious of these strategies and use them when possible.
And, most importantly, keep asking these kinds of important questions!
Best of luck,
Ellen Moir is a veteran bilingual teacher who is focused on the challenges faced by new teachers as well as on the needs of those with long careers in education. She is also the executive director of the New Teacher Center, at the University of California at Santa Cruz, a resource for educator-induction research, policy, and practice.

Fifteen percent reduction requested, moratorium enforced
In lieu of extreme weather conditions, the North Syracuse Village Board met at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 25 at the Community Center to discuss village matters.
North Syracuse Mayor Diane Browning announced that a moratorium will be enforced upon all village departments.
The village hosted its first budget meeting Feb. 24 and specific measures must be taken, Browning said.
"Due to the critical financial picture of villages and difficult job the Board of Trustees has to balance a budget for 2009-10," Browning said. "A moratorium is necessary on discretionary spending."
Non-discretionary items such as payroll, benefits, debt services, utilities, postage, contractual obligations, legal compliance and emergencies do not need Browning's approval. However, any added spending that could be deemed unnecessary must obtain her approval.
"It's a necessary evil," said Trustee Mark Atkinson.
In order to avoid drastic measures such as layoffs in the village, Browning said the department budgets must be lowered.
"I will be asking that all department heads cut their budgets by 15 percent," Browning said.
After the initial village budget meeting and word of a possible cut in sales tax revenue on the county and state levels, Browning said a letter will be sent to all village residents seeking support during this economic downturn.
"We've got to get this budget going," Browning said. "We don't want to take away things the village residents are use to."
The next budget meeting will be held at 1 p.m. March 4 at the Community Center.
Village trash
The village's trash contract with Syracuse haulers ends May 31 so bids will be sent out promptly in order to be reviewed at 10 a.m. April 6 so that a new contract can be established.
Trustee Gary Butterfield asked if the village is allowed to refuse bids if an alternate trash removal system is established. Village Attorney Heather Cole reminded Butterfield and all trustees that the village has the right to refuse any and all bids if it so chooses.
The next village board meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. March 11 at the Community Center.

Sydney, Australia
Deal or No Deal (2003-2013)
|Years active
|Seven Network
|Two boys and a girl
Andrew Patrick O'Keefe (born 1 October 1971) is an Australian entertainer and former lawyer, best known for being the host of the game show Deal or No Deal. He is also the co-host of Weekend Sunrise alongside Monique Wright
O'Keefe formerly worked as an intellectual property lawyer with Australian law firm Allens Arthur Robinson and, for a short time, with the Public Interest Advocacy Centre in Sydney. He is the son of former Supreme Court of New South Wales judge Barry O'Keefe, nephew of the late Australian rock and roll singing legend Johnny O'Keefe and brother of University of Cambridge international lawyer Roger O'Keefe.[1][2]
O'Keefe first started his television career in 2003, starring in Channel Seven's AFI-nominated sketch show Big Bite. Late the same year he began hosting Deal or No Deal, the first version of the show outside its home country of the Netherlands. It has been on screen continuously since 2003, has run to over 1,500 episodes to December 2010.
In 2001 he was a member of the Australian Theatresports team that won the Just for Laughs Improv Tournament at the Montreal Comedy Festival. He played Theatresports most Sunday nights at the Belvoir Street Theatre in Sydney, winning a Cranston Cup series with two-man team Dirty Harry's Bathwater.
In 2004, O'Keefe co-hosted the historic tri-network tsunami appeal Reach Out with fellow presenters Eddie McGuire and Rove McManus. The appeal raised over $20 million for tsunami relief efforts around Asia. The event was such a success that the three teamed up the following year to host the Logie awards.
In 2005 he hosted the short-lived Dragons Den.
From 2007 until 2009, O'Keefe hosted the quiz show The Rich List and in 2006 took the helm of Weekend Sunrise, which he currently hosts on Saturday and Sunday mornings with journalist Monique Wright.[3] In addition he has substituted for David Koch on Sunrise.

O'Keefe believed the injury was aggravated during a performance of the show.[5]
In 2013, O'Keefe came under scrutiny in the wake of the NSW Bush fires after his controversial interview responses with Steve Sherwood [6]
Community and charity work[edit]
O'Keefe is a past chairman of the White Ribbon Foundation in Australia, an organisation dedicated to the prevention of violence against women.[7] He was one of the founding members of the campaign in Australia and has been an ambassador since 2004. The campaign is active in schools, workplaces, sports clubs, councils and other community organisations, and seeks to rally men and boys as leaders in the fight against violence.[8]
As a result of his work with the Foundation, O'Keefe was appointed to the inaugural National Council for the Prevention of Violence Against Women, which drafted the report Time for Action: Australia's National Plan for Reducing Violence Against Women and their Children on behalf of the federal government.[9]
O'Keefe is also a supporter of several other charity organisations including the Garvan Institute for gene research, Kids of Kokoda, the Bell Shakespeare Company and The Wilderness Society.[citation needed]
Personal life[edit]
O'Keefe is one of five children.[10]
He studied arts and law at the University of Sydney,[2] where he was heavily involved in Theatresports and faculty revues.
He has an A.Mus in classical singing (baritone), was the frontman for several Sydney bands in the '90s and plays trumpet and piano.

goblin's suspiria in jane eyre 2011 trailer
The song "Suspiria" by the Italian progressive rock band Goblin was used again in a Hollywood production. This time it served as a background theme for the official trailer of the movie "Jane Eyre", starring Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Bell and Judi Dench.
The film Jane Eyre, based on the famous novel of the same name by Charlotte Bronte, was released on March 11, 2011 in the United States, and will be released on September 9 in the UK.
The cult theme used in the trailer was originally made for the Italian horror film "Suspiria" (1977) directed by Dario Argento and named the 18th scariest horror ever in the history of the film by the Entertainment Weekly. The theme Suspiria was also named as one of the best songs released between 1977 and 1979 in The Pitchfork 500: Our Guide to the Greatest Songs from Punk to the Present. It has been sampled on the Raekwon and Ghostface Killah song, Legal Coke off of the R.A.G.U. mixtape as well as in the cult television series "Invader Zim", and it has been recently used in an Oscar award trailer for the film "Black Swan". To watch the trailer of Jane Eyre movie, click HERE.

A famous "Lost" & "Oz" TV star, Harold Perrineau, also known for the roles in big Hollywood movies such as "The Matrix" and Baz Luhrmans's "Romeo + Juliet", successfully continues his musical career.
His band Harold Perrineau & Tom Tom are gearing up to release their debut album, while his song "Seeker" was already licensed for the American action spy TV series Undercovers. The series was created by J. J. Abrams, known as co-creator of the TV series Felicity, Lost, Alias and Fringe, as well as for directing the Star Trek 2009 movie. The song "Seeker" was used in "A Night To Forget" episode, which aired on NBC, 1st of December 2010.
We strongly believe this is just a beginning for multitalented Harold Perrineau whose first single "Stay Strong" is already out on iTunes (click HERE for the listen & download).
The song "Seeker" was written by Harold Perrineau and Tomo Johannes in der Muhlen and you can check out its usage in the series Undercovers by clicking HERE.
With great sadness in our hearts we are saying goodbye to our friend and mentor Carlo Andrea Bixio, whose sudden passing away on February 28th, 2011 leaves a big void not only in our hearts but in the International Music Industry and especially the Italian TV & Film scene. As one of the founders of the cult music company Bixio Music Group / Cinevox Records and a key player in the Italian TV scene, his versatility was immense. The sky was his limit!
Carlo Andrea Bixio was born in an artistic family in Milano on December 18th 1941; his father, Cesare Andrea Bixio was the creator of what we know as todays "canzone italiana", or Italian Evergreen. He was the author of the music for the first Italian movie with sound, "Canzone dell' amore" and a creator of the famous song "Parlami d'amore Mariu" and writer of legendary songs such as MAMMA, Torna piccina Mia, Violino Tzigano and many others.
In 1961 Carlo Andrea Bixio entered the music scene like a whirlwind by creating the cult label & publishing company Edizioni Musicali Bixio with which he was awarded numerous gold and platinum records for Sound Tracks and pop hits such as: Djamballa (il dio serpente), Profondo rosso by Goblin, Gamma by Enrico Simonetti, Metti una sera a cena by Morricone, Kalimba de Luna (Tony Esposito), Mi scappa la pipì papà (Pippo Franco), Gomma Gomma (Luca e Manuela), Giù la testa (Ennio Morricone), Mamma (Pavarotti), La notte vola (Lorella Cuccarini), Bolero (Francis Lai) and a dance record: I can stand it" .
Carlo Bixio has dedicated his entire life to the entertainment industry, starting off by running the Bixio labels to sweeping exclusive deals with Italian Film distributers in the early 70ies, securing Bixio's position as leader in Original Sound Track production and releases, followed by working as a producer of various editions of the San Remo Festival, of the show Disco per l'estate and many others.
In the early 90ies, With his brother Franco in charge of the publishing companies and labels, Carlo dedicated himself completely to the creation of TV series, which sound tracks would be released on the Bixio / Cinevox labels.
His PUBLISPEI Company is responsible for some of the hottest series in the history of Italian television. He brought to Italian TV screens the cult series "Un medico in famiglia", produced "I Cesaroni" for the Canale 5: another cult title of the Italian commercial television (which 5th season is in the state of its creation) as well as the TV series "Tutti pazzi per amore" and the mini-series "Sissi".
Carlo, here is to you, we thank you for this incredible catalogue you have given us, the joy and honor to work along side you. We will continue your legacy with your amazing smile engraved in our hearts, lightening up our path. Over 25 years ago you took a chance on me, and now it's my turn to make you proud so you will continue smiling up on us from Heaven.
Thank you Carlo!

Milwaukee band Revomatics re-create '60s surfer music
Like Carly Rae Jepsen and Robin Thicke, the Revomatics' sound is strongly affiliated with summer. But in the Revomatics' case, it's the sound of summer from 50 years ago.
"Surf music is the punk rock of the early 1960s," said bassist Peter Flessas of the local surf-rock band. "It was dynamic music, but it was all instrumental, and you didn't have to have a big budget. It enabled young musicians to get their music out there." »Read Full Article(2)

At Lebowski Fest, the costumes abide
Let's call Lebowski Fest what it is: a costume party.
Friday through Sunday, fans of "The Big Lebowski" will descend on Milwaukee in pursuit of White Russians and marmots.

Cats compete in regional cat show
Waukesha's Exposition Center housed the Great Lakes Regional Cat Show this weekend, presented by Wisconsin-Illinois Cat Fanciers. Nearly 200 cats entered the circus-themed competition, all hoping to rank "best" in their respective breed category.
The event was open to the public but came at a price - no attendees could play or pet the cats. The animals are judged against predetermined breed standards and grooming and many hold international titles. »Read Full Article
A Day for Detroit: U.S. critics celebrate an imperiled art collection
People do not give works of art to museums. Donors of great works of art give their treasurers to the cities they love, to the school children on yellow buses, the couples on dates, the artists and would-be artists, the seniors on a Sunday afternoon.
In a very real sense, the art in our museums belongs to us. It is a public trust. This simple truth is at the core of a foundational ethic within the museum world that prohibits museums from selling works of art to pay off debts. »Read Full Blog Post(4)

^^^^^^^^^^^^ Gabe has the pilot side!!!
I have the enlisted aircrew side! It is definately a great career choice, but it is the MOST competetive field there is. There are more Navy SEALs than enlisted aircrew guys in the Navy.
I love what I do, and my job is just like the Air Force...but better uniforms and other things
My brother is a Flight Engineer in the USAF, he runs all the aircraft systems while the pilots fly, but he is right up front keeping them in check and keeping the airplane safe. Both me and my brother love the enlisted side, but we also both wish we went to college first so we could be driving right now.
SOOOOO.......The enlisted guy says go to college first. You could look into ROTC scholarships to help pay for school, then get commisioned. Let me know if you have any more questions! Good luck on a very tough decision....don't make it lightly!

Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are members of a superfamily of lipid-binding proteins, and occur intracellularly in vertebrates and invertebrates. This review presents recent findings on the diversity of these FABPs and their proposed roles in fatty acid (FA) metabolism and other cellular processes. Special attention is paid to the structural features of the different mammalian FABP types and the physiological role of these proteins in FA transport, cell growth and differentiation, cellular signalling, gene transcription and cytoprotection. Additionally, data on FABP knockout mice and the implication of FABP in medicine are discussed.

A work camp is a different way to spend your summer holidays, doing volunteering work of social interest with young people from different countries.
One of the areas where with more presence of young people is in development cooperation.
Surely you have ever thought about how to help or where can I do it. Lend a hand with any entity or NGO is something increasingly common among young people. We are going to show you some entities where you can colaborate.
If you arrived to Catalonia a short time ago and you want to improve your Catalan, the Consorci per a la Normalització Lingüística de la Generalitat offers you a service of linguistic volunteer service: "Volunteering for the Language"
Volunteering with people with functional diversity in Spain
Nowadays, we see the youth very involved in what concern them and move inside themselves. That's because they participate in projects and work as volunteers in entities and organizations.
Nowadays there are infinite opportunities of helping the children and offering your solidary services for a social objective in which you believe. Here we present you a few popular programs of online volunteering. Feel like getting connected?
Not long time ago, in our country it has become necessary to create involuntary institutions, organizations and entities are added to a long list and expand the choices available to the volunteers to invest their time and commitment was part of society screaming assistance.
Are you an animal lover? Do you enjoy being surrounded by animals and spending your time with them? If you even dreamed about combining your passion with doing something good for others at the same time, you may be interested in one of many programs offering voluntary work with animals. Not only do humans need help, but animals as well!
This concept is much more widespread in northern Europe and the U.S. in which a person decides to spend an indefinite period without ties or aimlessly, escaping everyday life.
Many young people have participated in volunteer activities through the Youth in Action program. Sometimes they ask and say: How can I justify the time I've been to another country? I'd like to prove what I've learned!
Do you want to have the chance to make a different volunteer, living with local families or with people from other countries settled in Spain? This is your volunteering opportunity!
In the organizations` world, non profit entities, organization non governmental (from now NGO´S) and private / public institutions, the volunteers are involved on it.
The national and international cooperation between organizations leads to the team work of hundreds of volunteers who daily try to bring people closer to the reality of a developing country.
Volunteering, or at least an approximate idea of what we know as volunteering today, started to emerge between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, through the disinterested help that wealthy families offered to less favored population as well as through the help of religious congregations.

According to the included instructions, I removed the cap on the agitator, pulled the sealed inner cap, removed the nut with a long extension ratchet, then pulled the whole agitator out of the machine. I then pulled the top off the agitator, removed the old cap with the worn dogs, assembled the new cap with new dogs, reassembled everything and was back in working condition in less than 15 minutes. I saved probably $50 in repairs over calling a repairman, and whatever the cost of buying a new washer would be. My washer works like new again. I plan to come back for more parts and instruction as my machine needs them. Partselect ROCKS!

Letters to the Editor: 05.04.12
Ann E. Smith
Armendariz victim of industrialists
Kudos to the Caller-Times Editorial Board for the editorial about Al Armendariz's resignation. His record of standing up to the TCEQ and its state-appointed commissioners made him a target of the power brokers whose fortunes are tied to polluting industries.
Single-minded citizens aid the profiteers in the attacks, discounting the ill effects of air and water pollution. Do they actually believe we should turn our quality of life over to folks whose sole mission is to maximize their profits? Do we really have to taint or use up everything around us to make a living? I am grateful for the courage, intelligence and diligence Armendariz displayed as he worked to bring our agency in line with the laws that protect us.
Using the crucifixion metaphor to assure farmers of EPA protection clearly provided an opportunity for those who would do him in. Ironically, the fact that a few folks are made examples of for criminal violations is the deterrence, "hang-em-high" strategy industrialists lobby for to limit the size of enforcement regimes. Armendariz fell victim to that very tactic by the hand of those who invented it.
Mr. Armendariz took the unfair hit here. Thanks, Caller-Times, for this honest portrayal.
Daniel Mares, San Benito
Privatization of national parks
Visiting a national park has always been viewed as "American." As the desire for profit increases, our national parks are at risk of being purchased for capital gains. If privatization of national parks is allowed the parks would be destroyed, aesthetics would be diminished, and costs would increase. The assumed outcome of privatization is it would cost less to run the parks.
The reality is that privatization works in favor of commercial or special interest while working against the interests of individuals like us, the taxpayers. If privatization occurs, those who are running the business want to earn the highest profit possible. This shift toward private and corporate control should be a concern for every citizen in the U.S.
There is no way to place a dollar value of visiting a national park and yet the simple act of visiting the natural world has become a commercial transaction. These crown jewels are held in trust by our government and belong to all citizens. Therefore, parks should be kept public and forego the inevitable destruction that privatization creates.

Be aware of food's origins
Is there anything worse than knowing your favorite food is probably not the best for you? No. Not only is a "juicy" chicken nugget from your local fast food joint laced with ammonia, antibiotics, artificial coloring and flavors, it's also treated unethically.
The way the factory farms treat these animals to get them on your plate is just wrong. When you buy these products you're supporting the unethical treatment of chickens and other animals and telling the industry that it's OK to feed us this meat. If you can even call it meat.

Report: Cowher in Park Ave crash
Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach and current analyst for CBS' "The NFL Today" Bill Cowher was in a car accident on Sunday afternoon in New York City, the New York Daily News reports.
BUSTED!JaMarcus Russell was bad, but who tops our list of the biggest draft busts in recent NFL history?
According to the police report and witnesses, Cowher was heading north in a black Mercedes-Benz when a woman driving a Ford Fusion going in the same direction cut him off attempting to turn onto E. 92nd St.
Cowher's car hit the Fusion sending it into scaffolding, cracking a pole and sending construction material tumbling down into the street.
No one was hospitalized.
Cowher coached the Steelers from 1992 to 2006, leading them to a Super Bowl win in 2005.

A man will appear in court today charged with murdering his
partner in Switzerland in 2000.
He was arrested in the Auckland suburb of Grey Lynn this
The 42-year-old Sri Lankan national had been living in New
Zealand since February 2001 under a false identity and travel
documents, police said.
He had been wanted in Switzerland since the death of
23-year-old Kavitha Kandiah in Basel in December 2000.
The man, a small business operator, was charged with murder.
When he was arrested this morning he was also served with a
letter from the Department of Internal Affairs, advising him
that his citizenship could be revoked, police said. He was
granted citizenship in 2004.
There is no extradition arrangement between New Zealand and
Switzerland but police, through Interpol, had been working
with Swiss authorities since confirming the man's identity
and living arrangements in Auckland in late 2011, to carry
out his arrest and start the process of his repatriation to
Switzerland where he lived from 1990 until late 2000, police
He will appear in the Auckland District Court later today.

Attorneys Consider Tax Structuring of Foreign Investment in U.S. Real Estate
June 2, 2009
With U.S. real estate prices at historic lows, more properties have become attractive to foreign investors. Bryan Cave LLP New York Partner Jack Mandel and Counsel Alan Appel co-authored an article in the June edition of
Institutional Investment Real Estate Magazin
on the structures available to help limit the tax exposure on an investment in U.S. real estate by foreign investors.
Among other investment models, their article outlines ownership without interposing corporation; single-tier corporate ownership; and the foreign-U.S. corporation combination structure, which "is usually the structure of choice, with due consideration to multiple property issues," they write.
Mandel's primary areas of practice are partnership taxation, real estate-related tax matters, U.S. taxation of foreign investors and state and local taxation. He has served on various ad hoc bar association and real estate industry committees that have worked with officials of the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance on transfer and gains tax regulations. In addition, he has lectured and written about real estate-related tax matters.
Appel specializes in domestic and international tax planning involving taxation of mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and tax controversy matters. A frequent author and speaker on tax matters, Appel is chair-elect of the U.S. Activities of Foreigners & Tax Treaties Committee of the ABA Section of Taxation.

Predation by Gelatinous Zooplankton in the Gulf of Maine
Mission Specs:
When: June 28, 2002 to July 12, 2002
Where: Gulf of Maine - Georges Bank Region
Who: Dr. Marsh Youngbluth; Dr. Per Flood; Dr. Chuck Jacoby
What: Predation by gelatinous zooplankton ( siphonophore Nanomia cara )
From June 28 to July 12, 2002, HARBOR BRANCH research scientist Dr. Marsh Youngbluth and a team of collaborators will conduct part two of a three-year, multi-seasonal investigation into the ecological effects of predation by gelatinous zooplankton in the Gulf of Maine. The research will be accomplished using the JOHNSON SEA-LINK (JSL) manned submersible, which will allow these scientists to gain a better understanding of the distribution and behavior of pelagic animals that are too delicate to be adequately studied with traditional approaches.
This expedition is made possible through a grant from the Biological Oceanography Program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) with additional support from Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution.

As residents of NE Minneapolis, we received our first copy of The Journal this weekend and we could not have been more impressed with your publication. The news was relevant, recent and local. The focus on education was refreshing and I appreciated the crime map — I do want to know what's happening in our neighborhood in that regard. Thank you for offering NE an updated news source that actually provides news that is connected to the residents of our great neighborhoods. We look forward to the next edition!

A supporter of tougher dog rules
I am in support of stronger regulations for aggressive dogs.
This summer, while walking my dog within two blocks of my Northeast home, we were charged three times by pit bulls. Luckily for us all the attacks were diverted.
I was so shaken up after the first incident that I called Animal Control to ask what they recommend to fend off an aggressive dog.
They said the only sure thing to do is to get a physical barrier between the dog and us by getting into a house or fenced yard, or climbing on top of a car or into the bed of a pickup truck.
In the second incident, I was half a block away and around a corner when I heard the owner yell at the two leashed pit bulls I had seen minutes before. I had just enough time to get us into a nearby fenced yard.
A few weeks later, a pit bull hopped a chain link fence and within seconds was chasing my leashed dog in a tight circle, growling. The owner was nearby and able to get the dog.
Realistically, I can't count on my luck to continue. I know other dog owners who carry a hunting knife for these encounters and I've started to do the same.
I hope that stronger regulations of these unfortunate dangerous animals will help make the city streets one step closer to feeling safe.

Love for the skyways
As far as I'm concerned, the persons who invented and implemented the skyways in Minneapolis should be canonized!! One thing I wanted to point out to you which was omitted from the Downtown Journal of September 13 in the article on Skyways, is that Saint Olaf Catholic Church is the only church in downtown Minneapolis (perhaps in the United States — maybe even in the world) which is connected to a skyway and that skyway has access to a parking ramp, hotels, eating places, banks, etc. The skyways are wonderful, especially in this climate, and help make our city unique.
I moved to Northeast Minneapolis earlier this year and am happy to note that the Downtown Journal is expanding into the northeast neighborhoods.
Rosemary Albrecht
High hopes for the new Journal
Just wanted to let you know that I'm thrilled that you will now be serving NE Minneapolis with your expanded newspaper.
I love the Southwest Journal, and have been disappointed to not have something equivalent after I moved from Uptown to Northeast about a year ago.
I'm looking forward to having The Journal be both a chronicle and builder of community.
I enjoyed the profiles of Stanley's and Tiny Planet Produce, and hope you continue to offer stories about creative people and projects. I think that there are many interesting artists working along Central and I would also love to see an article about NE residents who are doing urban homesteading projects.
Good luck on this new venture.

Heart Disease Health Center
Frequently Asked Questions About Heart Disease
- What is atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis, often described as a hardening of the arteries, occurs when the normal lining of the arteries deteriorates, the walls of arteries thicken, and deposits of fat and plaque build up, causing narrowing (or even blockage) of the arteries.
Coronary artery disease is a form of atherosclerosis. In coronary artery disease, the arteries that supply blood to the heart become severely narrowed, decreasing the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart -- especially during times of increased activity. Extra strain on the heart may result in chest pain (angina) and other symptoms.
- What's the link between smoking and heart disease?
About 30% of all deaths from heart disease in the U.S. are directly related to cigarette smoking. Smoking is a major cause of atherosclerosis.
Among other things, the nicotine present in smoke causes:
- Decreased oxygen to the heart
- Increased blood pressure and heart rate
- Increase in blood clotting
- Damage to cells that line coronary arteries and other blood vessels, triggering atherosclerosis and heart disease
- What are the risk factors for coronary artery disease?
Conditions that increase a person's risk for heart disease, also called coronary artery disease, are called risk factors. There are some risk factors that you can't do anything about. These include:
- Being male
- Being older
- Having a family history of heart attack or coronary artery disease
- Being post-menopausal
Other risk factors, fortunately, can be controlled. These include:
By improving lifestyle habits, you can reduce your risk of heart attack or angina.
- What should I do if I have risk factors for coronary artery disease?
There are many things you can do to decrease your risk of developing heart disease. If the artery-clogging process has already begun, you can slow the rate at which it progresses by improving your diet, exercising, quitting smoking, and reducing stress. With very careful lifestyle modification, you can stop or even reverse the narrowing of arteries. While this is very important for everyone with risk factors for the disease, it is even more important if you have had a heart attack and/or procedure to restore blood flow to your heart or other areas of your body.
- What dietary changes can I make to reduce my heart disease risk?
Eating right is a powerful way to reduce or even eliminate some heart disease risk factors. Adopting a heart-healthy nutrition strategy can help reduce total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol, lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar, and reduce body weight.
To reduce your risk of heart disease, try these tips.
- Increase your intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes.
- Limit fat intake. When you use added fat, use fats high in mono- and polyunsaturates only.
- Eat lean sources of protein, such as chicken, fish, and soy. Avoid red meat, as this tends to be high in fat and cholesterol.
- Limit intake of cholesterol.
- Eat complex carbohydrates (such as whole-grain bread, rice, pasta) and limit simple carbohydrates (such as regular soda, sugar, sweets).
- Eat small but frequent meals throughout the day (for example, eating five to six mini-meals).
- Reduce salt intake.
- Exercise regularly.
- Drink 32 to 64 ounces of water daily (unless you are fluid restricted).
- What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a soft waxy like material that is made in the liver of animals. Animal foods such as egg yolks, milk fat, organ meats, and shellfish, contain cholesterol too.
In many people, an elevated blood cholesterol level (hypercholesterolemia) is caused by excessive intake of foods high in saturated fats, cholesterol, and calories. Reducing intake of these products can reduce cholesterol levels. Limit intake to 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day.
- How common is heart disease among women?
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women over 40 years old, especially after menopause. Once a woman reaches the age of 50 (about the age of natural menopause), the risk for heart disease increases dramatically. In young women who have undergone early or surgical menopause, the risk for heart disease is also higher, especially when combined with other risk factors such as:
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- High blood pressure
- High blood cholesterol, especially high LDL or "bad" cholesterol
- Obesity
- Lack of exercise
- Family history of heart disease
