Why Eat Quinoa? – The Ultimate Fuel
Get inside the mind of an endurance athlete and once you've pushed asides the inevitable neurosis, most notably the obsessive-compulsive disorders you'll find that nutrition is their proverbial Bible in the bedside table. It is the successor to questions about training and often overlooked completely as people have their own individual interpretations. Here is an outline of what an athlete requires nutritionally and what I would consider to be the go-to dietary staple for energy when training or competing.
What an endurance athlete's diet needs
Endurance athletes require between 1.2-1.4g of protein for every two pounds of body weight per day. So if you are 176lbs, you'll require around 106-123g of protein. The term 'endurance' refers to active individuals who aren't participating in heavy resistance training and don't have voluminous amounts of skeletal muscle.
Counting 'macros' really isn't my style, but it's useful to know that a chicken breast has roughly 21g of protein per 100g and that if you fill your plate with 50% carbohydrates, 25% proteins and 25% fats, you're roughly on track to get the fuel you need.
Why eat quinoa if you're an endurance athlete?
If I were to break this down and make it even easier for you, I would suggest you get on board the quinoa train. In short, it's a super-food that should keep you well nourished for the trail.
The benefits of quinoa are numerous – that's why it's a super-food – but one of the most important benefits for athletes is the amount of protein it contains. On average, 100g of quinoa provides 16g of protein, and provides all the amino acids the body requires for muscle repair and building that it cannot produce itself. In raw protein terms, quinoa has more than brown rice, potatoes, barley and millet making it an excellent nutritional starting point for a meal.
Quinoa salad – an easy way to reap quinoa's health benefits and hit the trails
A daily quinoa and meat or fish salad is a well-balanced lunch that gives you the energy you need to get in a long run, bike or hike. Here's how I do it:
Ingredients for Quinoa Salad:
- Grilled and sliced chicken breast
- Quinoa red- 3/4 cup
- Quinoa white- 3/4 cup
- Red onion- finely chopped
- Baby broccoli- lightly boiled, splash of olive oil
- Pomegranate- 1/2 cup
- Parsley
Ingredients to make Quinoa salad dressing:
- Mixed together:
- Apple cider vinegar - 2 tbsp
- Mustard - whole grain 1 tbsp
- Maple syrup - 1 tbsp
So now that you know about quinoa's health benefits, whip up a tasty snack or quinoa salad, lace up those trail running shoes or hiking boots and head outside to out perform.

Neurosurgery › SpineCare › Employer Programs › FAQs from Employers
FAQs from Employers
What risk factors predispose our employees to develop neck/low back pain?
Many risk factors have been identified, and include occupational as well as non-occupational factors.
The strongest occupational factors include:
- Repetitive heavy lifting, twisting, reaching and bending
- Repetitive manual material handling
- Exposure to continuous whole-body vibration
- Prolonged, static posture (especially if posture is awkward or confined)
- Poor job satisfaction
Non-occupational factors include:
- Poor physical condition (lack of exercise, overweight)
- Poor posture
- Smoking
- Advanced age
- Psychosocial stressors, such as depression, financial factors
What can our company do to reduce low back injuries?
- Train safety personnel and supervisors on proper material handling and lifting techniques so they in turn can train and supervise employees to follow through with proper techniques.
- Provide appropriate equipment for the job (ie. an ergonomic office chair, mechanical assistive device for lifting heavy/awkward objects, cart on wheels to transport objects).
- Keep work area and equipment properly maintained.
- Allow task rotation (ie, move through different tasks during the day to avoid undue stress and repetition).
- Alternate work tasks between sitting and standing to reduce postural (static muscle) fatigue.
- Set up work area to minimize frequent reaching, leaning, twisting and bending.
- Reduce employee fatigue by allowing stretch breaks.
- Encourage employees to take part in a fitness program and/or provide a wellness program through your company.
Can we prevent long-term disability in employees with nonspecific low back pain?
Yes. The SpineCare team strongly believes the following factors are critical in preventing long term disability:
- Early intervention (less than 6 weeks after injury).
- Early paced activity and graded regular exercise avoiding deconditioning and reduce anxiety re-injury.
- Timely regular communication among the treatment team, employer and employee early detection of "yellow flags" by the team that may hinder recovery and return to work such as depression, anxiety, job dissatisfaction and fear of re-injury.
- Promote early safe return to work with support from employer, supervisors and co-workers such as allow return to work in modified capacity.
- Allow onsite job assessment by SpineCare's Ergonomic Evaluator Specialist who will assist the patient in integrating learned principals/techniques into work environment.
We have our own safety department to assess an injured employee's work area. How does that differ from a job analysis by SpineCare?
Our staff works with employees and with safety and human resources personnel to help employees incorporate correct body mechanics and lifting/material handling practices. We can also help identify critical job demands and ways to meet them efficiently and safely. This cooperative approach allows SpineCare and safety or human resources personnel to integrate back protection techniques for successful return to work, and helps employees integrate learned body mechanics and lifting techniques into daily work situations.
How soon can my employee return to usual duty after a spine injury?
This will vary depending on the type and severity of injury. Every person heals differently. Once your employee begins the stabilization program at SpineCare, the SpineCare team will reassess your injured employee's ability to return to work. Clinical research has consistently shown that early return to work (even in a modified capacity) is associated with better overall outcome and lower costs. As back care providers in today's market, we're aware that managing healthcare costs is vital to employers.
How do I know the injured employee will not get re-injured upon return to work?
Every employee has the potential for injury. However, your employee's increased knowledge of spine protection and stabilization/strengthening minimizes the risk of re-injury.
What can I, as the employer, do to facilitate return to work for the injured employee?
To facilitate return to work for the injured worker, tThe employer can follow the return to work recommendations provided by the SpineCare team. A well thought out and organized modified duty program to transition your injured employee back to work greatly facilitates our goal of early reactivation and return to work, both of which have shown to improve outcomes and reduce costs. An onsite job assessment by one of our Ergonomic Evaluator Specialists who can also assist the patient in integrating learned principals/techniques into work environment.
What about complicated cases? I've heard that the minority of back injuries result in the majority of the costs. What about surgery?
It is true that about 20 percent of injured workers account for over 80 percent of the costs for treatment and disability in the workplace. Although we don't have all the answers to this problem, we do have a team of physicians, physical therapists, a clinical psychologist and other staff who work together to identify potentially complicated cases early on so that stakeholders–the employee, employer and treatment team–can work for the best possible outcome.
Internal auditing has shown our surgical rate to be the lowest in the community; however, sometimes surgery is necessary. At SpineCare, we are committed to identifying the need for surgery early to avoid the burdensome additional costs and risks associated with the delay of appropriate care, and to avoiding surgical treatment unless a well-defined need exists.

The Wand to Leave Epcot
July 5, 2007
PHOTO: BigPigletFan, MiceChat.com
Members of MiceChat.com have been buzzing about the Epcot wand removal for months now along with MiceAge.com columnist Kevin Yee and this moment will finally arrive on Monday, July 9th, 2007 when work begins. The official announcement was made by Epcot Vice President Jim MacPhee Thursday morning said the wand will be removed. MacPhee also said that with Epcot's 25th anniversary this fall, "We think the timing of the removal is right."
The 257-foot-tall Mickey Mouse arm is currently attached to the Spaceship Earth attraction, sponsored by Siemans AG (which is going down for a refurbishment until this fall,) the park icon for Epcot.
The original wand read "2000" and was displayed as a part of the millennium celebration but it has continued to read "Epcot" after that celebration ended.
More on the story: Orlando Sentinel.
Original Discussion thread: Ding Dong the Wand is Dead: It's Official.
July 6, 2007
More on the story: Orlando Sentinel.Many of Disney's more-critical observers have called for the arm's removal for several years. Independent Disney-forum Web logs such as TheDisneyBlog, MiceAge, Re-imagineering and EpcotCentral have criticized it as tacky. John Frost, editor of TheDisneyBlog, called it "clutter."
Epcot about 'futurism'
"Epcot in its original form from 1982 was about futurism, hope and optimism, and the wand and hand speak instead to the company's cartoon history," said Orlando author Kevin Yee, who writes about Disney in books and Internet postings, including on his own UltimateOrlando blog. "I think Disney knows that removing the wand will please its hard-core fans."
July 11, 2007 - update
MiceChat.com has learned that the back of Spaceship Earth now currently reads "Epc" as the letter "ot" have already been removed. Also, according to TDLFAN, the lighting on the wand is no longer being used as the removal process has begun. Spaceship Earth is also now down for its long refurbishment.

Six months after fatal fishing trip, families have few answers to what happened on lakeWritten by Amanda Tindall | | email@example.com
At about 2 p.m. April 16, a group of close friends — practically family — left the shores of Lake Erie to begin a fishing trip.
Within about four hours, they had caught their limit and started back.
None were seen alive again.
About all that's known for sure is Bryan Huff, 31, Amy Santus, 33, Andrew Rose, 33, and Paige Widmer, 16, spent their last hours doing something they all loved: fishing.
At 4 p.m., Myranda Gerity texted her cousin Paige and they had a short conversation about what they were doing.
At 4:30 p.m., Andy's boss at Home Slice Pizza in Toledo called him to say he wouldn't be needed at work that night.
Around 6 p.m., the group had caught their maximum allotted number of fish and posted a video of the final catch.
At 6:15 p.m., Bryan called his father to say the group was on its way back.
At 6:30 p.m., Andy's friend Ben DeWit called about dinner plans they'd made. Andy said he'd gone fishing and would probably be late.
DeWit was the last person to speak with anyone on the boat.
By 9 p.m., family members began to worry and started calling around.
The boat was reported overdue at 2 a.m. April 17 and by 3 a.m. the Coast Guard began a search that, for some families, would last weeks.
Shortly after 6:30 a.m., the boat, a 21-foot Tracker Tundra, was found empty, sitting bow up but with minimal damage, according to an investigation report from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
The search continued throughout the day as family members gathered at Turtle Point Marina in Oak Harbor, waiting for any word about their loved ones.
Around 11 a.m., the bodies of Paige and Amy were recovered. Both women were wearing life jackets; Paige's was unzipped.
It would be almost three more weeks before Bryan's body was discovered; two days after that, Andy's body was found.
Andrew Rose
After 22 days of waiting, Michele Rose planned her son's funeral around the theme "Gone Fishing." Approximately 200 people gathered to eat the fish and venison Andy had saved in his freezers.
"Everything came full circle," Michele wrote in an email to Toledo Free Press.
As a child, sandy-haired, blue-eyed Andy would waddle down to the nearest pond to fish with his babysitters. As he grew up, he dreamed of being a game warden. Even as a young boy, he had the patience to pursue fishing all the time, his mother said.
"Every once in a while he had a trip that was so special that kept him wanting to go back again and again and again, for the rest of his life," Michele said. "He was hooked, even when the fish weren't."
After graduating from Maumee High School, Rose went to college for a bit but decided not to continue and went into modeling instead. He was good-looking and always had women interested in him, DeWit said.
"He had his modeling days where he was a model down in Miami and all of that," DeWit said. "He'd tell me all the stories of all the things he did. 'I hung out with Pharrell and we went out on his boat.' And he'd hang out with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. 'I got picked up from the hotel in a Bentley that was waiting for me.' Then he'd show all the pictures to back it up."
But after struggling to maintain a steady income in modeling, Michele said, Andy decided to come home to Ohio. He began working as an interior home remodeler, combining skills learned from his mother, an interior decorator, and his grandfather, a carpenter and tradesman. One of his projects was featured in a Better Homes and Gardens issue on kitchens and baths.
DeWit met Andy when they worked together at Don Pablo's after Andy's return to Ohio. DeWit said Andy was his best friend and godfather to his 6-year-old son, Kamden. The pair liked to go wakeboarding and skiing on DeWit's boat.
"He was a great guy," DeWit said. "I have two children. He'd come and take them out to do things. My kids loved and adored him, and they'd drop what they were doing and jump into his arms when he came in the door."
Michele described her son as someone who had many friends and liked to stay active.
"Andy was an easy-going, T-shirt and jeans type of guy," she wrote. "Although he took pleasure in going out and trying new restaurants, he was just as keen enjoying the simple comforts of a grilled meal right in his backyard. Andy's athletic build was evidence of his lifelong pursuit of health and balance; he worked out regularly."
Matt Brown, Andy's boss at Home Slice Pizza, said Andy was a people person who was always going on to the next adventure.
"It just came as such a shock," Brown said. "With Andy, he took care of his body, he liked being outdoors. He was always out with his dog or doing something active.
"The biggest thing about Andy was that he had a thirst for life. He was always doing something. He was always looking to help."
Brown had told Andy he might need someone to cover a shift April 16, but called around 4:30 p.m. to let him know he didn't need to come in.
"He said, 'Well, that's great because I'm out fishing, so I wouldn't have been able to make it in,'" Brown said.
DeWit said about every other Wednesday, he and Andy would get sushi from Spicy Tuna in Holland. They had talked about meeting there April 16.
"He wasn't responding to my texts," DeWit said. "It was just very odd for him."
"Hey, what time," DeWit texted.
"?" He sent in the next text.
Still no response.
DeWit called, and Andy answered his phone.
"Hey, sorry man," he told DeWit. "I ended up going fishing last minute. I'm going to be late. I can hit you up when I get back."
DeWit said it wasn't a problem, that he could do something else.
That would be the last time anyone heard from Andy, Bryan, Amy or Paige.
Both DeWit and Michele said the waiting process was difficult.
"It was just never-ending agony," DeWit said. "It was scary [wondering] if we were going to find him, when we were going to find him. It wasn't the normal grieving process. It was so challenging for his mother."
DeWit said pockets of Andy's friends would have dinners and get-togethers while they waited for news. Many of them still keep in touch with his mother, he said.
Michele raised her son as a single mother and said the two had a close relationship.
"The unimaginable things that I would never dare think about now consume my every thought," Michele said. "Losing a child is a parent's worst nightmare. Grief that follows is a lonely road."
Bryan Huff
Bryan Huff was also a fisherman from a young age. His father, Ralph "Butch" Huff, would take him out fishing. It was what they both loved to do, he said.
"He would say, 'Dad, can I fillet it?' And I said, 'No, the knife's too sharp,'" Butch said. "So I took him to the fair and he was maybe 4 or 5 years old and he caught some goldfish. The next morning, I woke up and my wife said, 'You gotta get down here and see this.' I go downstairs and he's at the kitchen table. He had taken a butter knife and filleted his goldfish."
Bryan's sister Kimberly Hawkins said their father taught Bryan a tremendous amount about hunting and fishing.
"Bryan dedicated his life to the outdoors since he was a very young child," Hawkins wrote in an email to Toledo Free Press. "My dad showed him the ropes and guided him through many fishing and hunting trips and experiences, which built my brother to be the amazing outdoorsman he was. It was more than a passion to him."
Bryan was known to be an experienced boater.
"That was the hardest part," Huff said. "He was very experienced out there."
Hawkins said she and Bryan bonded through his passion for boating and her work at Tracker Marine Boat Center at Bass Pro Shops. Bryan would call, text or stop into the shop weekly, if not daily, to talk about boating products.
"It usually would start as a prank of him calling my work phone and changing his voice, and I would fall for it every time," Hawkins said. "That is exactly the person he was. Always joking around and playing pranks, which I truly, 100 percent, believe he picked up from our father. He was the master of pranks. And he had the best poker face you've ever seen to back them up. He could impersonate voices to disguise his own just to get a laugh."
Hawkins said her brother played a big role in her wedding as her husband Ron's best man.
"They shared an everlasting friendship that started in high school, that my husband will forever remember and cherish," Hawkins said. "Ron was introduced to many things and experiences because of Bryan. They were fishing and hunting brothers as well as brothers-in-law."
With Amy, his girlfriend, Bryan owned Oak Harbor's Black Swamp Ohio Outdoors, a hunting and fishing business. Now his father runs the business.
"They got the lease kind of late in the year, and they didn't have time to plant their marshes like they're supposed to be," Huff said. "His and Amy's dream was to put an addition on the lodge, with the marshes all planted and with new duck blinds. We got the new addition up, we got new showers and the marshes all planted."
The business' Facebook page is full of commemorations and memories of Amy and Bryan from those who hunt and fish at the lodge.
"Bryan knew everybody. Everyone knew Bryan," Huff said. "At his showing, so many people showed up they couldn't even get in the place. There was no place to park. People parked at the McDonald's across the street. I remember the funeral home saying they only printed about 200 of the cards that they'd pass out. They were up to 1,000 of the memorial cards."
"Though my family has faced the severe pain and heartache of losing our brother and son in such a tragic accident, we have also been overwhelmed to learn of all the people Bryan has touched and impacted during his life here on Earth," Hawkins said. "Every time I drive to or near the lake, I think of Bryan's life, and all the memories it holds. What a wonderful life he lived in his 31 years."
Amy Santus
Amy and Bryan going out on the boat was a common occurrence, their family and friends said.
Hawkins said the two would hunt and fish together, and Bryan taught Amy what he knew.
"I don't know exactly when Bryan met her," Huff said. "But these guys were two peas in a pod. Amy loved to fish, and Bryan got her into the hunting part of it."
Amy was finishing up her nurse practitioner degree. She and Bryan lived together in Perrysburg and were "inseparable," Huff said.
In August, Mercy St. Charles Hospital installed a memorial for Amy in honor of the work she did on staff there.
"It's been tough on all of us," said her father Albert Santus. "Employers, family, friends. It's been really tough. I prefer not to speak about it."
According to friends, Amy and Bryan were a great match.
"When Amy came into Bryan's life romantically, we could all see a change in him," Hawkins said. "I truly believe that she gave him an outlook on life that had never crossed his mind before. He was happy and it showed. They were perfect for each other. Balanced each other out. They were soul mates."
Paige Widmer
Sixteen-year-old Paige Widmer, who lived in Leesville, South Carolina, with her mother, looked up to Amy, said Gerity.
"She just adored Amy," Gerity said. "On the way to Ohio, that's all Paige talked about was going fishing with Amy. She really looked up to her."
Paige would often travel to Ohio to visit her father, Troy Widmer, who is married to Amy's sister.
Gerity described Paige as "free-spirited" and nonconfrontational. Although the two were cousins, they were more like sisters, Gerity said.
Usually, Gerity said, she and Paige would cry when Paige had to leave. This last trip back to Ohio, however, Gerity had the chance to tag along.
She almost went with the group on the April 16 fishing trip, but decided to have dinner with her aunt instead. The last time she saw her cousin — her sister, as she referred to Paige — was that day at noon.
"She was just so full of life," Paige's mother Kelly Wade said. "She was always at the center of attention and loved being around everyone, even as a small child. She was always giving to those in need."
Some of her favorite things to do were playing volleyball and spending time with her family and friends.
"She was always making sure her friends were OK," Gerity said. "She was in sports medicine, and she just wanted to care for people."
Wade said Paige's favorite subject was math, and she was heavily involved with volleyball, track, chorus and a club involving medical work.
She did sports medicine to get familiarized with the work, Wade said. She was planning to start her clinicals this year.
Paige also had a great relationship with her brother, J.J.; the two would often go fishing or play basketball together.
"They were very close," Wade said. "They did everything together growing up. He couldn't wait for her to drive so she could be his chauffeur. That's what he'd always say."
Wade said she and her daughter were best friends.
"She was my rock," Wade said. "She was very mature for her age. A lot of people would tell you that.
"Even though Paige came from a blended family — mom, dad, stepdad, stepmom — we were all very close and did a lot of things together," she said. "For our kids, this was important."
Inconclusive investigation
By the end of the day April 17, two of the boaters had been found dead and two more were still missing.
That day, the investigation was handed over to the ODNR Watercraft Division.
When search crews found the boat, Vernon Meinke, owner of Meinke Marina in Curtice, went out to secure it.
"The boat was partially submerged," Meinke said in his statement. "Three feet of the bow was sticking out of the water. The engines were banging on the reef bottom."
Yet despite the recovery of the boat and — eventually — all four bodies, questions still lingered in the families' minds. In July, the ODNR released its report. The same word is repeated throughout.
"Type of Incident: Unknown"
"Time of Incident: Unknown"
"Contributing Factors: Unknown"
"Estimated Speed: Unknown"
"Due to the fact that everyone on board died and there were no witnesses to the accident, the circumstances surrounding the accident are unknown," the report concluded.
All four boaters drowned, Ottawa County Coroner Dr. Daniel Cadigan said. There was no trauma to any of the bodies and alcohol was not a factor, according to the report.
Rodney Althaas, a member of the Ottawa County Sheriff's dive team, said the water temperature at the time of his dive was 47 degrees.
"In this instance, their body temperature cooled enough for hypothermia to set in," Cadigan said. "Even though they died from drowning."
Cadigan said this is a major issue in many drownings, because life jackets that don't fit properly or support the head cannot protect the wearer.
The boat motor's black box — an event data recorder like the ones found in airplanes — was disabled at the time it capsized so the speed and motion of the boat is unknown. The boat's GPS showed it was traveling west, then took a 90-degree turn south for 24 feet. The empty boat was recovered about three-fourths of a mile west of that last recorded position.
One thing in the report is clear: "Activity at Time of Incident: Fishing."
The thing that brought them together, and became their last shared activity on Earth.

Biofeedback training uses simple electronic devices to measure and report information about a person's biological system. Biofeedback training can improve health by teaching a person to consciously regulate bodily functions that are normally unconscious, such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure. EMG Biofeedback measures muscle activity or muscular tension and can help improve a person's awareness and ability to either activate muscles for strengthening or learn how to relax muscles to decrease tension or spasm. Biofeedback training is particularly useful in treating health conditions where psychological factors are present. This form of healthcare is used for pain relief, stress reduction, insomnia, headache treatment, and muscle injuries with weakness, in-coordination, or abnormal tension.

By Elaine WilsonAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 2011 President Barack Obama today unveiled a governmentwide plan to strengthen military family support, offering a glimpse at a few of the new programs and cooperative efforts being launched in the coming months to improve quality of life and well-being for military families.
"Today, I'm proud to announce that for the first time ever, supporting the well-being of our military families will be a priority not just for the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs, but all across the federal government," Obama said.
Speaking from the White House's East Room, Obama unveiled this "unprecedented commitment" to military families with First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, at his side. Top government and Defense Department officials also were on hand, including Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, the service chiefs, and their spouses.
Spotlighting the importance of military family support, Obama recalled his trip to Afghanistan last month, where he spoke to troops and asked them what he could do to better support them.
"Without missing a beat, they looked me in the eye and they gave me their answer," the president said. "It wasn't about more equipment. It wasn't about more resources on the battlefield. In fact, it wasn't about them.
"They said, to a man: 'Sir, take care of our families,'" he said. "'If we know our families are all right back home, then we can do our jobs.'"
Service members and their families have done everything the nation has asked of them in this decade of war, and the nation now must serve them with the same unfailing support, Obama said. That's exactly why he directed a governmentwide review of military family support, he added, calling for "innovative new partnerships" to better serve military families worldwide.
Earlier today, the White House released the results of this nearly yearlong review of military family support. From child care to health care to spouse employment, the report -- titled "Strengthening our Military Families: Meeting America's Commitment" -- identifies the key issues military families face and presents programs and resources government agencies plan to launch in the coming months to address them.
The report outlines four key areas the whole-of-government effort plans to address: enhancing military families' well-being and psychological health, developing military spouse career and education opportunities, increasing child care availability and quality, and ensuring excellence in military children's education and development.
Improving quality of life is a priority, Obama noted, offering a glimpse at some programs that will focus in the coming months on families' well-being. The Defense and Health and Human Services departments, for example, are working together to improve community mental health services and to prevent suicides, he said. And a new office in the Treasury Department will help to protect military families from financial pitfalls, such as predatory lending.
"And we are going to remain relentless -- not just at VA, but at [the Housing and Urban Development and Health and Human Services departments] and across the government -- in our fight to end homelessness among our veterans," the president said.
"We have to have zero tolerance for homelessness among our veterans," he added, a statement that was met by thunderous applause.
Another priority, Obama said, is the education and development of military children, many of whom attend public schools. He praised the efforts of agencies such as the Education and Interior departments. The Education Department will give military families priority in some of its grant programs, and the Interior Department plans to create more opportunities for military children.
The government also will "redouble" its effort to help military spouses attain education goals and careers, Obama said.
"We're going to help spouses to get that degree, find that job or start that new business," he said. "We want every company in America to know our military spouses and veterans have the skills and the dedication, and our nation is more competitive when we tap their incredible talents."
Finally, the government is going to expand child care options for military parents. "Working together, we believe we can find new child care options for tens of thousands of military children," the president said.
In total, Obama said, his administration is making nearly 50 specific commitments to military families today. But the government can't accomplish this mission alone, he added.
"Government has its responsibilities," Obama said. "One percent of Americans may be fighting our wars, but a hundred percent of Americans need to be supporting our troops and their families -- a hundred percent."
Article is closed to new comments.
The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Most all Americans think about the spouses and school age children. What about the soldier who has a 27 year old special needs daughter that has to rely on the Medicaid Waiver program. Even though my wife and I have gaurdianship of her, we have found few programs that the military can offer. The problem arises when you PCS from one duty station to another. My daughter was receiving funding and had day programs going while we were stationed in Hawaii. Now that we have moved, we have been informed that she is eligible, but we have no funding at this time and that she will be put on a wait list. This means no programs to further her development and most likely a backsliding in the progress we made the last several years. This does not include the 6 months of the intake process. So how is a soldier suppose to take care of there family needs while preparing to deploy or even go on a deployment when they cannot even get the needs and programs restablished because of a lack of funding?
- Timothy Zimmerman, FT Rucker, AL
As a military wife I am very happy to hear that support for our military families is in the forefront. I have found it very difficult as a military spouse to find employement easily. Even though I have a Bachelor's Degree it is very hard to find a job when you move so often. It takes atleast six months to put out resume's and even longer to interview and start working. It took me from May to November to find a job and only to realize after six more months that having my children in daycare all day while I worked was not affordable or worthwhile. I was bringing home $400 a month and working 40 hours a week. I was giving up time with my children only to make less then minimum wage!

Rustic jungle retreat in the Mexican Pacific
Verana is nine individual thatched-palapa huts, with panoramic views of the jungle and ocean – deep in the Valle del Sierra Madre Occidental. Carved out of the lush Mexican jungle, Verana is remote and secluded, but still offers all the amenities for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The hotel can only be accessed by a boat trip followed by mule ride. Each house was designed with its own character and feel to blend with the landscape and environment. The houses have their own gardens and terraces for privacy, but are still close enough so you don't feel all alone in the jungle.
A luxury hideaway, Verana offers in-water massage pools in the spa, gardens, and cotton-canopied beds open to the balmy air, as well as a mouth-watering menu of fresh Mex cuisine. The raw concrete pool is surrounded by a series of stepped terraces lined with orange loungers and parasols. The wall of one terrace has become an unofficial guestbook, where people have scratched their names and assorted declarations of love. The hotel eschews all carbon-hungry electronic goods (no TVs, sounds systems etc) and candles are used in preference to the (mostly low-energy lights) where possible. Food is sourced from local producers (as were all building materials).
Verana is for travelers looking for beauty, intimacy, tranquility, and privacy. Rates range from $250 to $570 per house per night, from here.

If you were bankrupt, starving and cold, could YOU burn your kit to keep you alive?

Re: If you were bankrupt, starving and cold, could YOU burn your kit to keep you alive?
Actually, I
been bankrupt, starving and cold, but I didn't burn my kit to keep myself alive.
Instead, I sold my comic book collection - 2 copies each of every Marvel and DC superhero comic published from 1961 thru 1979. It was worth a hell of a lot more than my 1958 Ludwig Super Classic kit (black diamond pearl wrap), and not only did the sale keep me alive, it gave me enough to live on for a couple of years.
It was a tough call, though. Back when I split from my 2nd wife I drove off to a new life in Santa Fe, NM with a suitcase full of underwear, my Navajo dog, the comic collection, and the drum kit. At the time, I couldn't imagine living without any of that. Well, maybe I could've done without the underwear, but I doubt anyone would've bought it.

Moses Atkins gains recognition for its efforts in the community
HUNTINGTON -- Technically speaking, it was Ruth Lemmon who chose Barbara Moses Atkins to be West Virginia's 2013 TIME Dealer of the Year nominee.
But ask Lemmon, and she'll tell you that, "Barbara's reputation nominated her. I was just fortunate enough to do the paperwork," Lemmon, president of the West Virginia Automobile & Truck Dealers Association, said.
"She certainly deserves accolades for her industry and community contributions," Lemmon said. "It's a prestigious award that goes to people who aren't just excellent dealers but strong as it relates to community involvement."
Atkins, dealer manager at Moses Honda Volkswagen in Huntington, is one of a select group of 57 dealer nominees from across the country honored at the 96th annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention and Exposition in Orlando, Fla., in February.
In honor of her being recognized, Ally Financial donated $1,000 to a charity of Atkins' choice on Wednesday. She chose the Yeager Scholarship program at Marshall University, and donated a $1,000 match from the dealership.
"I'm on the board, and I feel it's a wonderful program for these outstanding young people selected," Atkins said.
The gift was much appreciated, said Lance West, vice president for development at the Marshall University Foundation.
"Barbara has (recently joined) the board and has really jumped in with her time, talents and treasures," West said.
She is a 1972 graduate of Huntington High and a 1976 mathematics graduate of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. During high school and college, she worked in various capacities at the dealership founded by her father, Jackson F. Moses.
After college, Atkins worked for an oil company in Ashland before leaving to raise her three children. In 1994, she returned to the business world as manger of Moses Honda and added Volkswagen to the mix in 1997. Today, her two brothers and nephew also run dealerships under the Moses Automotive Group.
Her contributions to Marshall are among many of her community projects -- a big reason why she was chosen for the award, Lemmon said. In working with Atkins, it's apparent how involved she is in the community because conversations always sound something like, "I have a meeting at Marshall, and I have a meeting at the museum and I have a meeting here," Lemmon said. "She's very community oriented."
Atkins, 58, is a past chairwoman of the West Virginia Automobile & Truck Dealers Association and has served it in just about every capacity, Lemmon said.
Atkins also has served on the boards of the Hospice of Huntington, Huntington Museum of Art, Marshall University Yeager Scholars and the Marshall University Foundation. She has supplied a new car to a member of Marshall University's athletic coaching staff since 1995.

They're better at marketing themselves than playing their instruments, and are giving more credit then what they deserve(in the music view of things).
I respect your opinion about them, and I agree that they're not as good as the Beatles. I also appreciate their Christian views as I am a Christian as well.
Their mom, Denise, said in an interview that their record label is very controlling of their music even though they would love to play different music in addition to the pop/rock music they play.
However, they were not the ones who re-made the Beatles songs. I don't know who it was, but it was someone else.
Anyway, I respect your opinion.
I drum for Him.

The Short Story
When choosing an aftermarket backup camera kit, this is the most common question people are asking. Should I get a wired or a wireless backup camera system? The answer can be as complex or as simple as you want it.
First, there's a single question you should ask yourself: Am I willing to give up quality for convenience? If the answer is "Yes, I don't really care as much about quality of picture as I do about an easy installation", then proceed to buy a wireless backup camera. If the answer is "No, quality of picture and reliable connectivity are far too important for me", then a wired backup camera should be your choice.
Regardless of your answer here, it's still a pretty good idea to continue reading the learn the details of decision. It's important that you get the backup camera for your scenario to ensure you gain the most safety benefit from that decision.
The Long Story
Wireless Backup Cameras
Technology for wireless aftermarket backup cameras has come a long way in the past few years, but with an increasing number of wireless products that have hit the market, which includes Bluetooth phones, satellite radio, CB radios, and wireless Internet, it's likely that you will suffer some interference when using a wireless backup camera. This means that not only will it affect the quality of picture coming through to the monitor, the camera will act a little funny as well. They will turn on at times they shouldn't, and sometimes you won't be able to get any picture at all. Additionally, there are more parts to a wireless backup camera than a wired backup camera with the inclusion of a transmitter. If the transmitter malfunctions, they can be difficult and expensive to replace.
Click here to see our reviews for wireless backup cameras
Of course, wireless cameras are much easier to install, which is where we get the 'convenience' benefits since there is no need to run a cable from the rear of the vehicle to the monitor on the dashboard, and the antenna is typically built into the camera for an even simpler installation. Some wireless cameras have a separate antenna which can be positioned for better reception, but this does complicate the install slightly.

Created: 03/04/2013 11:13 AM KSTP.com By: Aaron Chalich
I am a huge gamer and have been playing video games for over thirty years. I have been really enjoying all of the video games that have been coming out lately, but when a company like CAPCOM releases a compilation of their classic games, that's when I get really excited.
I grew up playing video games in the arcade and I was lucky enough to experience the arcade atmosphere and all of the amazing games that were released back then. It was very exciting to go into an arcade and to see a new game, because back then there was no internet and you had no idea what games were being released.
Back then I played a lot of CAPCOM games like "Black Tiger," "1943," "Commando," "Ghosts n' Goblins," and of course "Street Fighter."
When CAPCOM announced last month that they were going to release some of their classic games for the PSN, I was giddy and extremely excited. I could not wait to go back and play some of my favorite games.
This past weekend I received a PSN code for "CAPCOM's Arcade Cabinet" and it is everything I had hoped for and more. The games are exactly how they were released in the arcade and they look and sound exactly how I remembered them.
To play the CAPCOM games, you have to download the main "CAPCOM Arcade Cabinet" from the PlayStation Store. Once you download that then you can purchase each CAPCOM game individually, as a group or eventually the entire "CAPCOM Arcade Cabinet" library once it's all available. Every month different games will be released that you can purchase.
This is awesome because you can pretty much build your own CAPCOM library of classic games. If there are games you don't like, you don't have to buy them.
Right now the only games that are available are: "Avengers," Black Tiger," "1943," "Ghosts n' Goblins," "Gun Smoke," & "Section Z."
Here are the release dates for the rest of the "CAPCOM Arcade Cabinet" titles:
Plus there are going to be a few bonus games that have not been announced yet.
When you start playing "CAPCOM Arcade Cabinet," you are taken to a main hub where you can select the game you would like to play. You can see what games are playable because their titles are lit up on the top of the screen.
Once you select your game, you can do several things. You can read a brief history of the game, you can look at photos from the game that you have unlocked, and you can listen to music and sounds from the game.
You can also choose from a few different options to play the games. You can choose the classic "arcade mode," and play the game exactly how it was released in the arcade and you can continue as many times as you want. You can play a mode called "Score Attack" and this ranks your game play ability and you can see how you are ranked with players from around the world.
There is also a "training mode" where you can choose any level in the game and you can play just that level. Then there is a "casual mode" where the game is much easier and you can easily get through it.
There are a bunch of really cool features that I really liked about the "CAPCOM Arcade Cabinet" and I think that everyone will agree with me. When you choose the game you want to play, you can go online and play it with people from all over the world. Most of the games are co-op and you can play with a second player at the same time, so I think it's great that you can find another player to play with.
Another thing that I really liked was that each game had unlockables and trophies. If you complete a certain task in the game, artwork or a trophy would unlock and that was really fun to see. I also think that this gives the games great replay value.
One feature that I thought was amazing was the "View Replay" feature. Your gameplay is automatically recorded and you can watch it at any time if you save it. So every time you play a game it is recorded and it can be saved on the PS3's hard drive. You can then upload it to the internet and have other people watch it.
I thought that this was really neat, because you can show off your accomplishments to other people from around the world.
Each game has their own controls and at any time you can pause the game and look at the instructions for each game. I thought that this was very helpful and I think other people will think so as well.
I really think that "CAPCOM's Arcade Cabinet" is amazing and is a lot of fun to play. I also think that it's great to be able to play a bunch of the classic CAPCOM games. I am also very happy with the selection of games and think that it's a great collection. I know that people will really enjoy "CAPCOM Arcade Cabinet" as much as I am.

The humerus is the large bone in your upper arm. You have a broken (fractured) humerus. These fractures are easily diagnosed with X-rays.
Simple fractures which will heal without disability are treated with simple immobilization. Immobilization means you will wear a cast, splint, or sling. You have a fracture which will do well with immobilization. The fracture will heal well simply by being held in a good position until it is stable enough to begin range of motion exercises. Do not take part in activities which would further injure your arm.
Put ice on the injured area.
Put ice in a plastic bag.
Place a towel between your skin and the bag.
Leave the ice on for 15-20 minutes, 03-04 times a day.
If you have a cast:
Do not scratch the skin under the cast using sharp or pointed objects.
Check the skin around the cast every day. You may put lotion on any red or sore areas.
Keep your cast dry and clean.
If you have a splint:
Wear the splint as directed.
Keep your splint dry and clean.
You may loosen the elastic around the splint if your fingers become numb, tingle, or turn cold or blue.
If you have a sling:

At least 40 veterans have died while waiting for appointments with doctors in the Veterans Affairs medical system, CNN reported last night. CNN reported that 1,400 to 1,600 veterans were put on a secret list and denied needed treatment.
"The secret list was part of an elaborate scheme designed by Veterans Affairs managers in Phoenix who were trying to hide that 1,400 to 1,600 sick veterans were forced to wait months to see a doctor, according to a recently retired top VA doctor and several high-level sources," CNN reported.
CNN interviewed Dr. Sam Foote, who retired after working for 24 years in the VA medical system in Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Foote exposed the secret list by which veterans were denied treatment.
"There's an "official" list that's shared with officials in Washington and shows the VA has been providing timely appointments, which Foote calls a sham list. And then there's the real list that's hidden from outsiders, where wait times can last more than a year," CNN reported.
The very existance of the other list and how it operated was reportedly covered up. Foote said the VA hospitals are supposed to treat veterans within 14 to 30 days, but those on the secret list were in many instances not being treated within this period of time.
"The scheme was deliberately put in place to avoid the VA's own internal rules," said Foote in Phoenix. "They developed the secret waiting list," said Foote.
CNN cited Foote as saying, "the elaborate scheme in Phoenix involved shredding evidence to hide the long list of veterans waiting for appointments and care. Officials at the VA, Foote says, instructed their staff to not actually make doctor's appointments for veterans within the computer system...Foote estimates right now the number of veterans waiting on the "secret list" to see a primary care physician is somewhere between 1,400 and 1,600."
CNN reported on the case of Thomas Breen, who was placed on the secret list. Breen was taken to the VA hospital emergency room seeking treatment on September 28, 2013, reporting blood in his urine.
"They wrote on his chart that it was urgent," said Sally, her father-in-law's main caretaker. The family has obtained the chart from the VA that clearly states the "urgency" as "one week" for Breen to see a primary care doctor or at least a urologist, for the concerns about the blood in the urine, CNN reported.
Breen was sent home to die. He died on November 30, about two months later, and his death certificate attributes State 4 bladder cancer as his cause of death. His family got the call from the VA medical center on December 6, offering him an appointment, about a week after his death. Breen died likely due to lack of treatment, which itself appears to have been held up by the VA bureaucracy only.
This story, since being reported by CNN, has been covered by news outletes on both sides of the political spectrum, from Think Progress and The Huffington Post on the left to TownHall.com on the right.
TownHall.com reported on the case of Thomas Breen, "Teddy says his Brooklyn-raised father was so proud of his military service that he would go nowhere but the VA for treatment. On September 28, 2013, with blood in his urine and a history of cancer, Teddy and his wife, Sally, rushed his father to the Phoenix VA emergency room, where he was examined and sent home to wait. "They wrote on his chart that it was urgent," said Sally, her father-in-law's main caretaker. The family has obtained the chart from the VA that clearly states the "urgency" as "one week" for Breen to see a primary care doctor or at least a urologist, for the concerns about the blood in the urine. "And they sent him home," says Teddy, incredulously. Thomas Breen died on November 30. The death certificate shows that he died from Stage 4 bladder cancer. Sally says her father-in-law realized toward the end he was not getting the care he needed. "At the end is when he suffered. He screamed. He cried. And that's somethin' I'd never seen him do before, was cry. Never. Never. He cried in the kitchen right here. 'Don't let me die.' " Teddy added his father said: "Why is this happening to me? Why won't anybody help me?"
Writing the story in TownHall.com, Guy Benson wrote, "Once you've recovered from your entirely justifiable fit of rage, allow me to make two points. First, a non-partisan observation: Our veterans -- men and women who served this country to protect and defend our freedoms -- deserve much, much better than this. Those responsible for these shameful policies in Phoenix are criminals, and should be treated as such. (The director of this division received $9,345 in bonuses last year, according to records)."
Benson noted that, while Barack Obama promised as a candidate to reduce the backlogs of veterans waiting for treatment at VA hospitals, the problem has become worse while Obama has been in the White House.
Many citizens and supporters of our veterans are outraged, that those who served us and defended our freedom and national security are receiving poor treatment at our VA hospitals and clearly are due and deserve the best treatment our medical system offers.

Looking for funding to incorporate and expand existing business concept
by OregonJosh, Performer
- Created: October 30, 2009, 9:12 pm
0 comments
In early 2007, at age 15, I started an LLC and began offering internet services to a multitude of clients around the world. Over the past two and one half years I have learned a lot about how to run a business and more importantly, what not to do when running a business. My LLC began turning a profit approximately three months after offering my services to the public and it has been profitable ever since then.
The problem is that I have hit a wall. In order to expand my business I need to hire a professional to design a new website and a programmer to develop some custom code. Once those things are done my business will be much more appealing to potential customers and just as important, it will appear and function in a professional manner.
Ideally I would like to setup a corporation funded with a small business loan. This new corporation would essentially be the 2.0 version of my LLC and the loan would be used to build it into a successful, free standing entity. Some time after the corporation offers services to the public, I would somehow arrange for it to swallow my LLC and move the LLC's customers to the new architecture of the corporation. After some rough estimations I believe that building this corporation from the ground up to be much more functional and profitable than the LLC would require approximately $25,000 in investment before it could support itself. Please suggest how I should go about finding funding.

Chamber Board Member GoHealth Adding 250 Jobs in Chicago
GoHealth LLC, a member of the Chicagoland Chamber Board of Directors and the nation's most complete online portal for finding health insurance coverage, is planning to add 250 new jobs this year. Mayor Emanuel made the announcement today, saying the growing health care technology company will be hiring a variety of positions, including executives, sales and support people, and software engineers.
"GoHealth is a thriving company that has made a strong commitment to Chicago and its talent," said Mayor Emanuel. "I am pleased that the company is growing and contributing to Chicago's leadership in the crucial sector of health IT."
From today's Chicago Tribune:
The expected hiring spree comes on top of about 100 new hires in 2012 and reflects massive market changes in the health insurance industry before a government mandate takes effect in 2014 that requires most Americans carry health insurance or pay a penalty.
Michael Mahoney, GoHealth's vice president of marketing, said the company expects to continue the upward trajectory that started in earnest in the second half of 2012.
The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce works on behalf of its members to create a sustainable business climate for the Chicagoland region through creating and retaining private sector jobs.

A comment on Annals of dismissive contempt by a first-time commenter calling himself Vincent:
… Read the rest
Unless you waterboard them, you cannot "make" someone drink. So, one can never say "he made me drink" without being a hypocrite. That is what Dawkins was talking about, probably irritated by exaggerations like "plying a woman with alcohol", "sexual predator" and "meat market". Predators kill, market is where you buy stuff, meat is dead. The use of exaggerations to amplify emotional impact is a sure sign of lack of otherwise convincing arguments. I consider that people old enough to drink alcohol are mature enough to stop drinking before getting themselves into trouble. We live in a world full of dangers for drunks and getting hit

Overall User Rating: Channel ETPR-3E Aluminum Steam Table Pan Rack (19 Pan Capacity) ( 4.0 stars from 4 reviews )
Didn't fit hotel pans as advertised. Recommendation from manufacturer to drop it on the corner to square it up was not effective at making pans fit. Poorly constructed and not worth the money I paid in shipping. Very disappointed. Good idea but lousy execution.

How to —
Deliver a great idea
Having joined forces in 2010, Gavin Martin Associates and Colournet wanted to raise their new profile without breaking the joint bank account.
We suggested making use of an unused canvas - the humble proof bag. Used by printers to deliver wet proofs to their clients, the bags were screen printed with a life-sized collection of eccentric objects.
Tucked under the arm, the proof bags act as walking billboards en route, and a talking point when dropped-off. Low cost, high impact and the promise of raising a smile.

There are no words to express the honor and respect such men are due.
It's all to easy for Chris Christie to be confrontational with a member of the public when you've got two or more State Policeman at your side carrying Sig 228s, as your personal safety is pretty much assured.
My guess is that he'd be much, much kinder and gentler without such protection.
Exactly what was said to possibly provoke the Governor's outburst is unknown as, if it was recorded, it's missing from this video.
You are 100% wrong as the US Flag code is the governing law and the power of a Governor (of a state or territory) is specific and limited in scope.
No, I most certainly would not.
It simply isn't appopriate nor authorized under the authority coveyed in the US Flag Code to Governors of US states and territories.
@ 880man: By the way, one does not "lose" a university degree (in Keogh's case, a law degree) due to pleading guilty to criminal charges; one could, and likely would, be disbarred and unable to practice law.
This, however, would not apply to Mr. Keogh who, while a law school graduate, never managed to pass the NJ bar exam.
@ 880man: By the way, one does not "lose" a university degree (in Keogh's case, a law degree) due to pleading guilty to criminal charges; one could, and likely would, be disbarred and unable to practice law.
This, however, would not apply to Mr. Keogh who, while a law school graduate, never managed to pass the NJ bar exam.
@ Vinniefury: In this context, the term "godfather" is not meant in the literal/religious conotation but, in the political vein as it was (then Congressman) Martini who championed Keogh's hiring at PVSC; presumably in acknowledgment of the effort he put into his 1994 campaign.
While I've never had any previous exchange with you (Vinniefury, who clearly holds some personal animosity towards me), I trust you're proud of your status as a run of the mill, cowardly, anonymous Internet nitwit, lacking the courage of conviction to put a name, face and reputation behind your opinions.
880Man & IrishRose1954:
Express all the outrage you wish but, I would suggest you aim it in the proper direction.
Governor Codey (who has done nothing but serve the public well while navigating treacherous political waters for 30+ years) had no role in neither Mr. Keogh's hiring nor his ascendency through the ranks at PVSC; Keogh's godfather there was former Congressman (now US District Judge) William Martini.
Six misplaced words from a man known to speak without reference to notes, is scant evidence of any lack of intellect or knowledge of a particular subject.
This article raises more questions than it answers.
Absent these two being caught/observed actually exchanging money for a sex act, how are the charges possibly justified?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Given the amenities expected by passengers on today's luxury cruise ships, I really don't see how one incorporates such things into a hundred year old design which, by today's standards, is a modest platform.
Condolences to the Kelly family and thanks for Patty's service.
Flags flown at half staff for neither Whitney Houston, nor Clarence Clemmons before, was appropriate and for no other reason than that neither had earned the honor within the guidelines detailed in the US Flag Code.
There were objections aplenty when Governor Christie issued the order when Mr. Clemmons passed but, as both his celebrity and the media attention devoted to it paled in comparison to Ms. Houston's, he simply didn't hear it.
Ms. Houston, and Clarence Clemmons before her, should be remembered and grieved for by their family, friends and fan but, lowering flags was totally inappropriate for both and contraindicated by the guidelines contained in US Code Title 36, Chapter 4 (a/k/a The US Flag Code).
By law, custom and tradition, this is an honor reserved for those who devoted their lives to public service and/or gave them in defense of our State and Nation. It is not to designed to honor celebrities or cultural icons, no matter how brightly their stars may have shown.
Lance Cpl. Osbrany Montes de Oca's passing did not received a week's worth of international media attention, he did not have a four-hour telivised funeral service and his estate and heirs will not receive a resulting multi-million dollar windfall from album sales and music downloads.
Flying the State's flags at half mast was the modest honor he was conveyed and we demean it when it is not reserved for him and those like him.
May Whitney Houston rest in peace. Was lowering flags in her honor appropriate? No.
The United States Flag Code conveys the following authority to the Governor of a State, territory or possession of the United States:
"In the event of the death of a present or former official of the government of any State, territory, or possession of the United States, the Governor of that State, territory, or possession may proclaim that the National flag shall be flown at half-staff."
Accordingly, I would opine that flying State flags at half-staff for Whitney Houston (not being a "present or former official of the government") is not entitled to this honor and Governor Christie is as wrong to order it as he was when Clarence Clemmons passed.
This honor was intended, and should be reserved, for military, police and firemen killed in the line of duty, distinguished veterans and our most notable public servants.
It's difficult to go through this life without expereincing tragedies equal to or exceeding out triumphs and Whitney Houston was no exception. A beautiful, talented woman who surely became a pop-music and entertainment industry icon was certainly a New Jersey treasure but, flying state flags at half-mast in her honor is wildly inappropriate, as it was last year when Clarence Clemmons passed away.
Ms. Houston should be mourned and remembered by her family, friends and fans but, not have died heroically nor lived a life in public service, lowering the flags demeans the gesture for all those who have.
While a fan of both Whitney Houston, and Clarence Clemmons, flying a flag at half-mast, for either, is totally inappropriate and demeans an honor that should rightfully be reserved for heros and statesman.
Far from being a public right, the protocols for appropriate display of the American flag are memorialized on the US Flag Code, as is the authority as who may order them to be flow at half-mast. When done across a state or the nation, it is a considerable honor. The flags in New Jersey were not lowered to honor Leonard Lommell's (a gaffe or enormous proportions) but, were lowered for Clarence Clemmons who was neither born nor did he even live here?
Whitney Houston is most certainly a New Jersey treasure and icon.
More so than Clarence Clemmons? Certainly but, even though I am a personal fan of both, flying state flags at half-staff in either's honor is just wildly inappropriate and demeaning to those who are truly due such honor.
Whatever either's contribution to music and the arts, neither is a heroic in any true sense of the word nor did they devote their lives to the public good.
When we fly flags at half-staff to celebrate lives for reasons other than their valor or statesmanship, it is an honor we demean.
Acknowledge Whitney Houston in countless other ways but, flags at half-staff should not be one of them.

Out of breath, Jack races around the forest and hears gunshots. Bolting toward the sound, he arrives at the cabin trying to be quiet. Entering he sees Terry shot and Lily sprawled on the floor. He approaches her asking if she's ok but Lily won't respond. Jonathan moves away from the wall asking if he's dead? Jack replies yes and Jonathan drops the gun telling Jack he doesn't know if he made it in time. He tells Jack that he saw Terry standing over Lily smiling and he shot him. Jack calls for an ambulance as he continues to try and reach Lily
Kendall follows behind the ambulance bringing in a wounded Ryan. The doctors frantically work to help him. Kendall turns to Annie asking what the hell she did? Annie is in tears and Jamal tells her she doesn't know the whole story.
The police come to the hospital to talk with Annie and she asks Jamal to take Emma away. Not answering any questions, Kendall replies for her. Julia offers to take Emma for a snack. Annie starts to talk trying to explain that she thought it was her ex-husband. The officer asks why she'd want to shoot her ex? She explains that Terry was let go from jail and he's a monster! Annie continues telling the officer if he doesn't believe her to ask Jaskon Montgomery because Terry has harmed his daughter too.
While Kendall paces the floor, Jamal and Annie talk about Terry. Jeff approaches Kendall and tells them all that he's going to be fine, he removed the bullet from Ryan. Kendall heads in to see him. Entering the room, she fixes the blankets on Ryan and watches over him stroking his face. He slowly awakes to find Kendall by his side holding his hand. Ryan asks where Annie is and Kendall assures him she's with Jamal. She tells him he's scared the heck out of her and tells him Spike and her need him! He tells her there's no way she's getting rid of him!
David approaches Julia and demands for her to get some blood work and such. Julia refuses to leave Emma alone but David insists stating he'll watch the little girl. David talk with Emma telling her he knows where she came from and offers her a lollipop but sneaks a DNA swipe from her cheek. He then gives her a lollipop and places the sample in his pocket while Julia storms back handing him his files.
Kendall approaches Annie telling her that Ryan is going to be ok. Seeing Derek, Kendall tells him that the shooting was really an accident but Derek responds that he's there for Lily who's been attacked.
Jeff rushes to Lily's side going over her vitals and asks for a rape kit as a stunned group plead NO, not Lily. As they rush her in to the ER room, Annie see's Terry being brought in and Jonathan tells her he's not going to hurt anyone any longer. Emma runs in but Annie grabs her and pulls her away from the sight of her dead father. Jonathan looks on at Annie as she approaches him. Hugging Jonathan, she breaks out in tears. Derek asks Jonathan to come down to the station with him to explain what happened.
Kendall heads back into Ryan's room to find him resting and watches him sleep as she holds his hand to her face.
Annie loads the gun and is interrupted by Emma asking to see her daddy as Jamal watches over the both of them. Getting her back to bed, Jamal tells her that it's time that Annie tells Emma that she won't be seeing her daddy again. Annie has no idea how to ever tell her that and is worried about Terry actually getting Emma. She talks about how dangerous and brilliant he is and Emma interrupts them again calling for Jamal to read her a story. Annie picks up the gun as Jamal heads up to read to Emma. Annie has flashbacks of Terry treating her horrible and threatening Emma. She starts to cry as she walks around with the gun in her apartment, hearing the door open she fires and shoots Ryan.
