Call us at: 909-558-1000
I am currently an Associate Professor in Global Health based in the Center for Leadership in Health Systems at the Loma Linda University School of Public Health. Before joining the School, I worked at the international head offices of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency(ADRA) in Silver Spring, Maryland, as the Director for Health Programs. I led a team of public health experts in over 15 countries in implementing different health interventions in family planning and reproductive health, HIV and AIDS, child survival and nutrition.
Prior to that I worked in my home country of Malawi as an obstetrician and gynecologist with special interest women's health nationally and globally. As a result of this interest and my work in Malawi, I won a scholarship to study health policy and mangement as a Hubert Humphrey Fellow at the Emory Univesity Rollins School of Public Health in Atlanta.
I have consulted internationally with USAID, DfID, the Global Fund and the World Bank in South Sudan, Liberia, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Guyana, Nigeria, Libya and Uganda. At Loma Linda I teach several courses: 1. HPRO 567, Reproductive Health, 2. GLBH 516 HIV/AIDS: Implications to Public Health, 3. GLBH 550: Women in Development 4. GLBH 605 Seminar in Global Health 5. GLBH 607 Seminar in Global Maternal and Child Health
I am a Co-Principal investigator on a 5-year CDC/PEPFAR: "Supporting the Scale-up of High Quality Care in Treatment Programs in Malawi" in a consortium with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Johns Hopkins University of Malawi Research Center and the University of Malawi College of Medicine. I am Principal Investigator on a 2-year CDC/Public Health Evaluation study: "An Evaluation of Use of Dried Blood Spot Specimens for Viral Load Monitoring of Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy in Malawi". I have an appointment as senior lecturer in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Malawi College of Medicine.
I have been truly blessed in that I work in two countries that I love dearly; Malawi and the USA. Malawii opened opportunities for me to work globally and the USA, through Loma Linda University, has expanded that even further through funding opportunities that have allowed me to continue serving in my country of birth.

June 5, 2013
BY JESSE CLARKUW Athletic Communications
oth literally and figuratively, Zach Ziemek has been vaulting to new heights during his sophomore season with the Wisconsin men's track and field team.In just his second year with the Badgers, the Itasca, Ill., native has shown tremendous and rapid growth on the track. A multi-event athlete by trade, Ziemek put together a fantastic finish to the indoor track season and, currently in the midst of the outdoor championship season, has shown no signs of slowing down.He opens competition at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships on Wednesday, with the first day of the decathlon getting underway at 2 p.m. (CT).Ziemek's journey began at Lake Park High School when he was named the 2010-11 Gatorade Athlete of the Year in Illinois after helping his track team win consecutive Class 3A state championships. Ziemek, who won the pole vault state title in 2010, finished first in the long jump, triple jump and vault at the state meet in 2011.After a decorated high school career, Ziemek chose to compete for the Badgers because of the consistent excellence of the program and coaching staff. He had planned on competing in heptathlons and decathlons and knew Wisconsin consistently had one of the best multi-event programs in the country.
"It was just an obvious choice for me," he said.
Ziemek had a solid freshman campaign for UW while the Badgers' coaching staff expanded his skill set in a wider variety of events."Once I got to Wisconsin, Nutty (head coach Ed Nuttycombe) really helped me out and developed me into a better athlete," he said.By the end of his first year, he had finished eighth in the heptathlon at the Big Ten indoor championships with 5,354 points and 12th in the decathlon by totaling 7,042 points at the outdoor conference championships.It didn't take long for Ziemek to showcase his improvements on the track during his second season. The results spoke for themselves.At the Big Ten indoor championships, he earned a runner-up finish and All-Big Ten honors in the heptathlon, second only to teammate and three-time conference champion Japheth Cato. Ziemek totaled 5,846 points and set personal bests in the 60 meters, 1000 meters, 60 hurdles and shot put. Ziemek had his best heptathlon performance of his young career a few weeks later at the NCAA indoor championships. The sophomore claimed All-America honors after finishing fifth in the event with a career-best 5,937 points.In the process, he set a school record in the pole vault by clearing 17 feet, 18 1/2 inches, the best mark ever by a UW athlete -- indoors or outdoors. The mark matched the collegiate record in the event, and Ziemek became just the fifth American to clear that height in a heptathlon.
The performance caught the attention of legendary multi-events expert Frank Zarnowski, who was also serving as the public address announcer for the multi-events at the NCAA meet and began to refer to Ziemek as "Double Z." The name stuck, and Ziemek has grown accustomed to being called "Double Z" on a daily basis by his teammates. He doesn't mind.After the indoor season, "Double Z" shifted his focus outdoors to his preferred multi-event competition -- the 10-event decathlon."I like the decathlon more (than the heptathlon) because I really like to throw," he said. "It is fun being outdoors, to come back the second day after doing five events. It really shows an athlete's character and their will to compete."At the Mt. SAC Relays and California Invitational Combined Events in Azusa, Calif., Nuttycombe wanted Ziemek to finish with a score high enough to automatically qualify for the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships. The sophomore was off to a strong start before a shin injury forced him to withdraw after seven events.Despite not having completed a full decathlon heading into the Big Ten outdoor championships, Ziemek's confidence never wavered. Because he wasn't able to hit a national qualifying mark at Mt. SAC, he came into the conference meet with two goals: to win the Big Ten decathlon and to do so with a score that would secure him a spot among the top 24 in the nation, meaning a bid to the NCAA championships.He accomplished both goals in style, winning the conference crown with a career-best total of 7,640 points. The score ranked him No. 12 nationally and directly qualified him to the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships."It was an honor," Ziemek said. "I was just able to go out there and put it all together. I couldn't be happier with the results."Ziemek says his success comes from his coaches and the way they were able to help him physically, as well as mentally.
"It shows how hard the coaches worked with me," he said. "They told me to take one event at a time and just to relax. "If I had a good performance, I need to move on. If I had a bad one, I need to shake it off and go on to the next one. That really helped."Because the decathlon is the only men's event to not be contested at the NCAA preliminary round sites, Ziemek competed in the long jump at the NCAA West Preliminary Round, an event he qualified for with his leap of 25-1 1/4 at the conference meet. More important than the competition, traveling with the Badgers to the preliminary round in Austin, Texas, gave Ziemek a full week to train for the upcoming NCAA decathlon.The sophomore's goal for the NCAA meet is to place in the top eight and earn All-America honors. He hopes to score between 7,800 and 7,900 points."It would mean a lot to get some points and help the team out," he said.To achieve the feat, Ziemek believes he needs to have career-best performances in many events. While his decathlon routines will be the same as the Big Ten championships, his mentality going into the event will change."I have to be invested in each and every event," he said. "I can't coast because there will be a lot of good athletes. I will have to really, really focus. I can't be safe because I won't be a favorite. "I really have to go out there and put up big marks."Since Cato's Achilles injury in April sidelined him for the remainder of the year, Ziemek has taken on more of a leadership role as the most experienced multi-event athlete on the team. He enjoys leading by example for redshirt freshmen Ben Schreib and Charlie Foss."With Cato being out, I have taken more of a leadership role," he said. "It is a little harder mentally without him in practice because we pushed each other. But I tried to take a leadership role in high school and it worked out pretty well."I am happy to take this role on, and it's not too much of a transition for me."Ziemek's motivation comes from his desire to compete and the uniqueness of combined events competition."I love the multi-events," he said. "I go out every day in practice and I live for competing. I give it my all every time I go out there because it is totally different from any other event. "I get to do a little bit of everything, so it works out perfectly for my active personality."

Worn wedges?
Slanted soles?
Catawampus kicks?
thesolution is Heel Seals: adhesive sole savers
Most people wear down the outer edge of shoe soles/heels. But who wants to surrender a favorite pair of shoes and a pile of money to the cobbler for worn heels? Now there's a new cobbler in town: YOU. Simply keep a pack of Heel Seals, adhesive sole savers on hand. When you get a new pair of shoes, peel off a nonskid, nonmarking Heel Seal and stick it to the place you wear most. For shoes already in need of some sole repair, clean the heel with alcohol and stick a Heel Seal over the worn heels. You can also cut these to shape for wedges and heels, although the smaller the shape, the less likely it is to adhere well. Let cure overnight for best adhesion. Replace your Heel Seals every 20 or so miles. And don't worry, we didn't club any seals to make these.
Using Heel Seals is easy:
1) Clean off all dirt and debris from the heel of your shoe.
2) Peel off one Heel Seal for each shoe and stick it to the area of the heel that receives the most wear. Let sit overnight for strongest adhesion.
3) Replace your Heel Seals when they have worn through to keep your shoes in top condition.
Contains: 14 seals (what a deal!)
Color: Non-marking black
Measures 4.4 x 1.7 x .15 cm (1.7 x .67 x .06")
Made in the USA

Last month we had the opportunity to interview Dibzees, a penny auction website centrally located in the Hawkeye State (that's Iowa for those of you who don't memorize state nicknames).
Dibzees commitment to top-notch customer service makes them a logical choice for the PAL spotlight. Best of all, Dibzees is offering 5 free bids for those who enter the promo code "pennyauctionlist" at registration.
Here's the transcript from our interview:
Tell us about Dibzees.
Dibzees is a premier entertainment auction website. We strive to be the best by being responsive to our customers' needs and being as transparent as possible. The Dibzees Team is excited to team up with Penny Auction List to help both of our websites grow.
The name "Dibzees" is very unique. What exactly does Dibzees mean?
To call "Dibzees!" is to lay claim to something. For instance, one might call "Dibzees on front seat!" on a road trip. Or, in a more crucial moment like "Dibzees on that last open stall!" at Buffalo Wild Wings.
When you aren't busy calling Dibzees on the last open stall, what types of products do you auction?
Our items include high-end electronics (Wii, iPods, cameras, etc), popular gift cards (Target, Best Buy, Coach, iTunes, Amazon, etc), and other popular products that our customers want and can rarely find for a discount.
How many auctions do you run in a given day?
In our start-up phase, we currently run as many as 18 auctions a day and as few as 3 (on Friday and Saturdays only). We usually like to add a couple additional auctions throughout the night if our traffic is strong. As we continue to gain more customers, we will gradually increase the amount of nightly auctions. Currently our auctions are scheduled to end around 7pm CST each night.
How much do bids cost? Are you currently offering any promotions?
Bids on Dibzees cost no more than $0.50 each. While we feel like this is an extremely low price, we also love to give out free bids as well. The larger the BidPack our customers purchase, the more free bids they will receive. We also frequently offer promotions through our newsletters and Facebook fan page. In fact, anyone reading this can enter the promo code "pennyauctionlist" to receive 5 free bids at registration.
With lots of penny auctions to choose from, why should bidders try out Dibzees.com?
We pride ourselves in the functionality of our site. While many similar sites are marred with server connectivity errors, we have optimized our site to the point that such problems are virtually nonexistent. Also, while Dibzees is still such a young site, the odds of winning on Dibzees is far greater than most sites around. Why fight it out against hundreds or thousands of people when you can regularly buy products for under a dime?
Do you have any advice for new bidders?
Yes we do. We just implemented our "n00b Auctions." Essentially, this forbids any past winners from competing in these special auctions. For more advice and techniques, please see our Strategeez Guide.
Any future plans for Dibzees?
As we have recently added new features and have optimized the functionality of our site, we are now turning focus to the redesign of the site. While we want to keep the unique feel of our site in tact, we also want to offer a cleaner look for our customers. Of course, we plan to continue our growth and distinguish Dibzees as a leader in online entertainment auctions.
The Interview Summary
- Bids cost .50 each
- Registering with the promo code "pennyauctionlist" will get you 5 free bids
- Noob auctions are a great place for beginners to start
- See the Strategeez Guide for some Dibzees advice

Community foundations are grantmaking public charities that are dedicated to improving the lives of people in a defined local geographic area. They bring together the financial resources of individuals, families, and businesses to support effective nonprofits in their communities. Community foundations vary widely in asset size, ranging from less than $100,000 to more than $1.7 billion.
Community foundations play a key role in identifying and solving community problems. In 2011, they gave an estimated $4.3 billion to a variety of nonprofit activities in fields that included the arts and education, health and human services, the environment, and disaster relief. The Community Foundations National Standards Board confirms operational excellence in six key areas—mission, structure, and governance; resource development; stewardship and accountability; grantmaking and community leadership; donor relations; and communications. Foundations that comply with these standards can display the official National Standards Seal. Right now nearly 500 community foundations have earned the seal.
More than 750 community foundations operate in urban and rural areas in every state in the United States; currently, more than 570 belong to the Council on Foundations. The community foundation model also has taken hold around the world. According to the 2010 Community Foundation Global Status Report, there are 1,680 community foundations in 51 countries. Forty-six percent exist outside of the United States. You can use our Community Foundation Locator to view a list of community foundations in the United States.

Right now, over 200 leaders from across the philanthropic sector are uniting in Washington, D.C. to tell their lawmakers that thriving philanthropy builds thriving communities. As lawmakers contemplate comprehensive tax reform, individual changes to the tax code and the President's FY2015 budget, we must ensure Washington understands that tax policy matters to philanthropy.
President Obama unveiled his Fiscal Year 2015 Budget yesterday, which sets forth the Administration's spending and policy priorities for the coming year. The Budget presents a fiscal plan oriented around three White House priorities: accelerating economic growth, expanding opportunity for all Americans, and reducing deficits. To cover the cost of these proposals, the Administration seeks to close certain "tax loopholes" it views as providing particular benefit to the wealthy, such as the carried interest deduction.
In this week's This Week at the Council, you'll read about:
As President Obama presents his proposed budget and as Congress considers comprehensive tax reform, proposed policy changes could have a significant – and potentially harmful – impact on philanthropy's effectiveness. That's why the Council on Foundations is pleased to welcome nearly 150 leaders from throughout the philanthropic sector for the first annual Philanthropy Week in Washington March 3-7, 2014.
This afternoon Congressman Dave Camp (R-MI-4), Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, released a comprehensive plan to reform the individual and corporate tax codes. Find details of the proposed bill here:

Geography. Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is mostly flat, more than half of it part of the Great Hungarian Plain east of the Danube River. It is slightly smaller than Indiana. The countries of Austria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine border Hungary.'
Sports. Hungary is the most successful nation that has never hosted the summer Olympics. Hungary's Golden Football Team (soccer) was undefeated for 30 matches in a row between 1950 and 1954.
Budapest. The capital of Hungary is a mix of the old and the new: Turkish baths and springs, cultural events, children's activities, and good food.
Lake Balaton. Known as the "Hungarian Sea" Lake Balaton is the largest lake in Central Europe. It's yellow-green water and the "silky" mud are reported to be "remedies for nervous complaints, anaemia and nervous fatigue."
Hortobágy is the largest continuous natural grassland in Europe. The Hortobágy National Park is Hungary's largest protected area. It is a unique example of the coexistence of people and nature. One of the most spectacular sights is the migration of the cranes in the autumn; tens of thousands of Cranes!

The inter-country adoption program in Hungary is a small one, but reportedly very straight forward. It is estimated that more than 22,000 orphaned and abandoned children are in state custody in Hungary.
2013 Adoptions: 23 children
Hague Accredited: Yes
Available Children: Many children under 5 years of age have specific medical issues such as orthopedic, hearing, eyesight etc. and some correctable medical surgical issues. Most of the children in sibling groups are toddler age and up. Children live in foster care or orphanages.
Age of Children: 5-15 years.
Ethnicity of Children: Most children are Caucasian Hungarian or Roma ancestry. Children typically have dark hair and eyes with fair to olive complexion.
Family Marital Status: Both married couples and single women may adopt.
Travel: Families will usually within 4-6 weeks of accepting a referral. Both parents must travel for a trip of 45 days. Parents spend a total of 30 days, 7 hours a day with the child before the adoption can be completed. After about a week the family decides whether to move forward with the adoption process.
Siblings: Many sibling groups are available.
Parent Qualifications: Singles need to adopt a child 9-10 and up. Hungary strictly enforces the maximum 45 year age difference for at least 1 parent. If the parent is older than 45 they can expect to adopt older children over 5 and up, depending on the age of the parents.
Timeline: The wait for referral is determined by the age and gender of the child requested, and the special needs that the family will consider.
Post Adoption: Hungarian authorities require two post-placement reports: after two months and after one year of the adoption. Parents should make the reports as detailed as they can and include family photos.
We strongly urge you to comply with the requirements established by the Hungarian government and complete all post-adoption requirements in a timely manner. Your adoption agency may be able to help you with this process and/or provide you with more specific guidelines.
If your agency is unable to help you with this, or no longer has an active program, the Joint Council on International Services suggests that families in this situation contact them for guidance.
In Fall 2006, the following advice was obtained by Karen's Adopiton Links for all families who needed to file their own Post Placement Reports:

Scientology versus the BBC - VIDEO
A kerfuffle of epic proportions came about when a BBC documentary about Scientology ("Scientology and Me") culminated in a shouting match between Panorama reporter John Sweeney and Scientology spokesperson Tommy Davis in the "Mind Control" section of the Church's "Psychiatry: Industry of Death" exhibit in Los Angeles.
The clip was posted on YouTube (I also placed it at the end of this post), and while Sweeney says he regrets the unprofessional outburst, he still maintains his feelings that Scientology has a dark and insidious nature of which many of its celebrity endorsers are unaware. Sweeney claims he was pestered relentlessly by Scientologists as he was making the documentary, and that the forty-second clip, in which he's screaming so loudly it's almost impossible to hear what he's saying, was when he finally lost his temper.
Sandy Smith, the editor of Panorama, expressed his displeasure with Sweeney's outburst, but also with Scientology's tactics.
You can watch the entire program on BBC's site.

Fall is the perfect time to grow your future farmer.
1 Join the club
There are several youth programs in the Ozarks for budding farmers. Southwest Missouris 4-H Clubs are enrolling new members through Dec. 1. Todays 4-H Club projects range from robotics to horticulture to caring for animals. 4-H is open to boys and girls, ages 5-18. Visit http://mo4h.missouri.edu. Also, kids can take Future Farmers classes through October at Rutledge-Wilson Farm Park. These one-hour introductory classes for ages 9-12 cover the basics of animal care. Each session about different animals costs $5. Classes run 5-6 p.m. Oct. 4, 11, 18 and 25. Call 837-5949.
2 Pick a pumpkin
You dont have to live on a farm to get a taste of farm life! October holds many opportunities to get a taste of farm living! Now through Halloween, many farmers welcome visitors to pick pumpkins and get lost in corn mazes. In Springfield, you can pick your own pumpkin and enjoy old-fashioned hayrides at Rutledge-Wilson Farm Park. For a list of other pumpkin patches, see our Family Fun Idea list.
3 Dress for the farm
You cant be a true farmer without a bandanna or a pair of bibs. Try PFI Western Wear for a wide range of western wear for kids, including this bandanna-ruffled onesie for $19.99. We also found these dandy toddler overalls at Walmart for $11.48. The plaid shirt is $8.48.
4 Read all about it
Old McDonald had a farm. Mary had a little lamb. You can probably share these stories with your child off the top of your head. But if you are looking for some fresh farm stories, visit a Springfield-Greene County Library to find many books about farm animals and agriculture for kids of all ages.
5 Go to the market
Rather than begging kids to finish their veggies, try sparking their interest in gardening and farming. Its a little late to start a garden, but you can visit a local farmers market and talk to vendors to spark an interest in learning how vegetables grow. Through October, the Greater Springfield Farmers Market, Battlefield Road and Glenstone Avenue, is open 8 a.m.-noon Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Farmers Market of the Ozarks, 4139 S. Nature Center Way, is open 7:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays year round. C-Street Market, 321 E. Commercial St., is 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays through Oct. 20.

Both Richard Dawkins and Polly Toynbee, who spend a good deal of time fulminating against caricatures of 'religion' were on the BBC today. And guess what, they abandoned vituperation for once.
I'm glad about that, because I admire both in their main fields. It's just a bit depressing to hear them talk about faith (let alone theology), for reasons that Madeleine Bunting sets out in a good Guardian piece this morning:
The smallest signs of retreat.
Richard Dawkins' normal arrogance and contempt for religious belief faded briefly to conciliation today, when challenged by one of his critics.

"I went to a protest, and a festival broke out"
Rocky Mountain News Column - Mike Littwin
The Rocky's resident old hippy says they just don't protest like they used to.
[cue "Glory Days" in the background]
I have no doubt Littwin had to walk a mile up hill - both ways! - through snow and ice when he protested back in the good ol' days.
Littwin is nigh on remorseful there was no tear gas Sunday, "the story was law and order and how if you've got more cops than protesters, order — if you really insist on it — usually wins."

Pataki in Tentative Deal With Largest Union
By MICHAEL COOPER
Published: March 6, 2004
The Pataki administration and the state's largest public employees union said yesterday that they had agreed on a tentative contract that would raise the salaries of 70,000 state workers by what union officials said was 11 percent over the next four years.
The tentative agreement with the union, the Civil Service Employees Association, which has been without a contract since April, would cost the state $352 million over the course of the contract, a state official said. The governor and the State Legislature are negotiating a plan to close a $5.1 billion shortfall in next year's budget.
The proposed settlement would give workers an $800 one-time payment upon ratifying the contract, followed by raises of between 2.5 percent and 3 percent a year over the next three years. On the last day of the contract in March 2007, workers would get an $800 increase on their base salary.
The union said workers making $26,475 now would see their salaries grow to $29,520 by the end of the contract.
The settlement would require workers to pay higher co-payments for doctors' visits, officials said. The contract would cover clerical workers, mental health workers and members of road crews, among other state employees.
The union's contract is traditionally a bellwether that helps set the terms of other state contracts.
Gov. George E. Pataki described the pact in a statement as a ''fair contract.'' Daniel F. Donohue, the union president, said in a statement that the agreement ''demonstrates the state's commitment to our members in the short and long term.''
The contract will be watched closely by New York City unions, which have been battling Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's insistence that any wage increases they get be paid for by higher productivity or other savings included in their contracts.
Randi Weingarten, the chairwoman of the Municipal Labor Committee, which coordinates bargaining for the city's unions, said she hoped the mayor would take note that the state found a way to raise its employees' pay even though it was facing a budget gap and an economy that is weaker than the city's.

Flood Control Act of 1965
The Flood Control Act of 1965, Title II of Pub.L. 89–298, was enacted on October 27, 1965, by the 89th Congress and authorized the United States Army Corps of Engineers to design and construct numerous flood control projects including the Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity, Louisiana Hurricane Protection Project in the New Orleans region of south Louisiana.[1]
The Rivers and Harbors Act of 1965 was also part of Pub.L. 89–298 (Title III).
Basic provisions[edit]
Sec 201 of the Act authorized the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers (of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) to design and construct any water resource development project, including navigation, flood control, and shore protection if the cost of any single project did not exceed $10 million. Any such project was subject to local cost sharing in the same manner as larger projects.
Sec 208 of the Act authorized the Corps of Engineers to conduct surveys for flood control and allied purposes, to include drainage and channel improvements.
Impact on New Orleans[edit]
Prior to 1965, the state of Louisiana designed and built its flood protection through its levee boards. After Hurricane Betsy, Congress gave control of the flood protection to the US Army Corps of Engineers in the Act which called for a flood protection system to protect south Louisiana from the worst storms characteristic of the region. The Corps began developing the storm model in 1959, called the Standard Project Hurricane (SPH). This model was not subsequently adjusted, despite the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the successor agency to the Weather Bureau) recommending increasing the strength of the model: the Corps did not change its construction plans.[2] The local levee boards retained the role of maintenance once the projects were complete. When authorized, this mandate was projected to take 13 years to complete. When Katrina struck in 2005, the project was between 60-90% complete and the projected date of completion was estimated to be 2015.[3]
Details of the congressional mandate are defined in the Government Accountability Office's testimony before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on September 28, 2005. The opening paragraph of the twelve page report reads:
"Congress first authorized the Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity, Louisiana Hurricane Protection Project in the Flood Control Act of 1965. The project was to construct a series of control structures, concrete floodwalls, and levees to provide hurricane protection to areas around Lake Pontchartrain. The project, when designed, was expected to take about 13 years to complete and cost about $85 million. Although federally authorized, it was a joint federal, state, and local effort."[3]
In 2005, the estimated cost of construction for the completed project is $738 million with the federal share being $528 million and the local share $210 million. The initial scope of the project was to provide hurricane protection to areas around the lake in the parishes of Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and St. Charles with the federal government paying 70 percent of the costs and the state and local interests paying 30 percent, the typical cost-share arrangement.[3][4]
Specific projects[edit]
Sec 204 of the Act authorized projects in the following locations:
- St John River Basin, Maine
- Housatonic River Basin, Connecticut
- New England - Atlantic Coastal Area
- Long Island Sound
- New York - Atlantic Coastal Area
- Elizabeth River Basin, New Jersey
- Rahway River Basin, New Jersey

- San Francisco Bay Area
- Columbia River Basin, Oregon and Washington
San Francisco Bay water quality[edit]
Sec 216 of the Act authorized the Corps of Engineers to study the water and wastewater quality of various bodies of water in the San Francisco Bay area.
Modification of other Flood Control Acts[edit]
- Flood Control Act of 1944, with respect to roads impacted by Whitney Dam, Texas

How did Mother's Day begin? Well you would be forgiven for thinking it was a business ploy to sell off all the cute fluffy toys that didn't get sold on Valentines and Easter.
But in essence, Mother's Day goes back as far as ancient Greece and Roman times, as a day of appreciation. The most modern version of the day started in England as Mothering Sunday, a day when workers were allowed time to visit their mothers, as well as attending church. In America, the early English settlers often disapproved of secular holidays and the idea never really took off, until Anna Jarvis lobbied for an official mother's day to honor her mother's death in 1905.
She devoted her entire life to its foundation, and in the end was reputed to have regretted it. She was arrested at a mother's day festival trying to stop women selling flowers. She wanted it to be a day of sentiment not profit.
Mother's Day may not have turned out how Anna Jarvis imagined it, but it is a celebration of mothers, honoring the women who give unconditionally to their families, without asking for anything in return, well maybe except for an IPad, a Vitamixer, chocolates, flowers, chocolates again, and countless other presents that would make me a cool, but not so slim, mom.

Pocket Doppler Prognosticators: Week 13
Last year, each Friday the 3 Founding Fathers of Pocket Doppler (yours truly, BigSnakeMan & Chris Richards) would square off in picking the winner of the Packers, Sunday night & MNF games in an attempt to prove their football acumen and entertain. We're not sure either of those things happened. So this year, the Founding Fathers will be joined by two Pocket Doppler veterans: favored stepson Rich & Senior Angel Colleen. Like last year, we'll keep a running tally throughout the season.
Welcome to this week's early edition of the Pocket Doppler Prognosticators. Entering into Week 13 the current standings are:
Wally: 30
Colleen: 29
BigSnakeMan: 27
Rich: 27
Chris: 25
We had a little movement here in the rankings as young Master Ward removed himself from basemant with a perfect week, Chris on the other end didn't have as much luck only getting one pick correct and forcing himself down. The top remains the same though, where it's looking like a two horse race between Colleen & I. Although, in the immortal words on one Aaron Nagler…lotta ball game left so who knows.
Packers at Giants – Another week, and another game that many point to as the one that could bring an end to Green Bay's hopes for undefeated immortality. On the one hand, we have the New York Giants: losers of 3 straight and desperate for a win, at home, with a defensive line that could be problematic for the Packers patchwork offensive line. On the other, there is a Green Bay team that has taken on all comers and has yet to be bested despite their own deficiencies. The Packers themselves may not want to openly embrace the idea of a perfect season, but they've clearly proven that they are proficient at focusing on the next game, an attitude fostered by their leaders on both sides of the ball. Next man up philosophy has progressed into Next Game Up or vice versa. (As an aside, as everyone knows, the Packers have won 17 consecutive games dating back to last season-that's as many games and includes a longer playoff run (albeit over the course of 2 seasons) than than the record-setting Dolphins. The fact that the Packers are zeroing in on a record 21 consecutive wins may be just as impressive, if not more so, than what Miami accomplished in 1972.) For the second week in a row, the NFL's junior Manning gets to look across the field and see what an "elite" quarterback truly looks like. New York is coming off a short week and their best football is a month behind them. Green Bay will have 10 days to rest up and prepare for this game. They might be Giants, but they're playoff hopes will be brought down to size as the Packers go to 12-0.
Lions at Saints – The realization is beginning to set in on Detroit that maybe the Lions aren't as good as they thought they were-probably because they aren't as good as they were. Quarterback Matt Stafford is hurt once again (though not debilitatingly this time), the loss of Jahvid Best and now Kevin Smith has robbed them of a running game and, pending a ruling by the league office, they may be without a boy named Suh for this game. New Orleans is at home where they play their best and appear to be gearing up for a strong playoff run. In a metaphor of biblical significance, the Saints beat the Lions.
Chargers at Jaguars – Much like myself last week in picking them to win, San Diego got "Tebow-ed" at home. I guess that's what I get for putting my faith in a team with no heart facing the Chosen One. Why the hell would San Diego (or any team, for that matter) play nickel defense against Tebow in overtime? San Diego coach Norv Turner should be fired just for that alone. Meanwhile in Jacksonville (whose motto, according to Yahoo Sports radio's Steve Czaban is, "Technically, not Georgia"), the Jaguars have a new coach, a new owner and potentially a future in Los Angeles. I have no reason to pick Jacksonville in this mess of a game except for the facts that they're at home, RB Maurice Jones-Drew is on my bottom-dwelling fantasy football team, and I have no remaining respect for the Chargers.
BigSnakeMan's Picks: Packers, Saints, & Jaguars
Packers at Giants – During the most recent installment of the Packer Therapy podcast, I unequivocally picked the G-Men to beat the Packers. I am tempted to stick with that here. But after reading the NY injury report (featuring the news that Osi Umenyhioura is out) I am thinking GB has a better chance of staying undefeated than I thought three days ago. While I believe the Giants are completely capable of surprising GB given they will have home-swamp advantage, my substantial gut tells me to go with the Pack, so I will.
Lions at Saints – NO looking tough while the Lions seem to be losing their courage. Playing in the Superdome might be enough for DET to leave with their tails between their legs. The Saints have marched to three straight wins while the Lions have looked cowardly in dropping two of their last three. I look for NO to stomp DET .
Chargers at Jaguars – Oh, my: A SD team cycling the drain travels to the recently-sold (and soon-to-be-on-their-way-to-LA?) Jags, who are reeling from the firing of their long-time head coach. Nice. Should be fun. For someone, somewhere… I suspect the Chargers are in relatively less turmoil, but cross-county flights are known to dull the edges. Their six game losing streak aside, I still think SD is the better team, jet lag or not. So I will show you my Lightning Bolt and pick Chargers in this one.
Chris's Picks: Packers, Saints & Chargers
Packers at Giants – Beginning of this season I think some thought this would be a pretty good test, now probably not as much. You'll I'm sure recall the last meeting between these two teams in the must-win day after Christmas game where the Packers put a shellacking on the New York Football Giants, and then Giants got snowed in at the Paper Valley Hotel in Appleton. I don't see any travel headaches this time around as the Packers will be flying home happy with the
11th 12th win of the season.
Lions at Saints – Like the above game, at one point this match-up was promising. It's definitely lost some luster though. I'll actually be rooting for the Lions in this game to knock the Saints down a notch or two but I don't expect them to win, the Saints are just on too much of a roll right now.
Chargers at Jaguars – Last Monday we at least had a somewhat watchable game, not this time around. The Chargers have just been dismal this year & the Jaguars are…well, the Jaguars. Maybe though Jacksonville will play extra hard to impress the new owner and pull this one out against a struggling San Diego team. Or not.
Wally's Picks: Packers, Saints & Chargers
Packers at Giants – I wasn't terribly worried about this game until I watched a bit of Monday Night Football. Here's really hoping the Giants team that showed up against the Saints shows up against the Packers. I wish the Saints had not given the Giants quite such a drubbing, for a few reasons, not the least of which is that now the Giants are going to be playing angry. However, the Saints and Packers seem to play similar football – defense gives up points but the offense outscores the opponent, usually very handily. I am very pleased with how Evan Dietrich-Smith filled in, although my heart went in my throat when he had to go into the Lions game – and everyone has had plenty of time to rest and heal. Plus, the Mayor of Green Bay will be at the game. Packers win.
Lions at Saints – Talk about a team that's going to be playing angry. The Lions were again humiliated on national television, in their house. (And yes, I really would call that game a humiliation, especially with Suh's stupid behavior.) They will, however, be playing without their village idiot, nearsighted hippotamus, or whatever you want to call him. If they aren't playing without him, Art Shell should be booted as an appeals officer. An offensive lineman should never turn on one of his own. The Saints looked phenomenal Monday night, but we've seen them before look less than stellar the week after such an outing. I think this one actually turns on where the game is being played. Saints win.
Chargers at Jaguars – I think a meteor should hit this game. It fits right in with the now weekly spectacle of crappy Monday Night Football matchups. On the spectrum of who sucks less, I guess the Chargers are still a better team. And they still have a coach. So far. This may come down to how badly Philip Rivers wants to get Norv Turner fired vs how much the Jaguars like their new interim coach and want him to stay. Chargers win.
Colleen's Picks: Packers, Saints & Chargers
Packers at Giants – 12 and oh, you know…just another step in the 16-0 process.
Lions at Saints – Suh pun…Schwartz handshake joke…Hey look, Matthew Stafford just threw another interception. The Saints roll at home.
Chargers at Jaguars – Sweet mercy, but this is going to be a terrible game to watch. Isn't Kourtney and Kim Take on Marriage airing around the same time? I'd rather watch that.
Rich's Picks: Packers, Saints & Chargers

In a prime-time speech on Wednesday, the President announced the withdrawal of 10,000 troops by the end of this year, as well as an additional 23,000 to depart by the summer of 2012.
After the speech, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) criticized the plan and said many in Congress were hoping for something more.
"It has been the hope of many in Congress and across the country that the full drawdown of U.S. forces would happen sooner than the President laid out – and we will continue to press for a better outcome," Pelosi said.
The President added that it was time to start "nation-building at home" with the troop withdrawal. This was the same phrase used by Republican Presidential Candidate Jon Huntsman on June 22 during an NBC Today show interview.
Regarding Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai told The Associated Press that the nation's youth would be prepared to defend the country as the U.S. troops pull out.

(3) The school-to-work transitions program, under chapter 335, Laws of 1993, is intended to help secondary schools develop model programs for school-to-work transitions. The purposes of the model programs are to provide incentives for selected schools to: (a) Integrate vocational and academic instruction into a single curriculum; (b) Provide each student with a choice of multiple, flexible educational pathways based on the student's career interest areas; (c) Emphasize increased vocational and academic guidance and counseling for students; (d) Foster partnerships with local employers and employees to incorporate work sites as part of work-based learning experiences; (e) Encourage collaboration among middle or junior high schools and secondary schools in developing successful transition programs and to encourage articulation agreements between secondary schools and community and technical colleges.

I bought this in the 1 oz travel size for $10 to try it out before committing to buy the larger jar. I love this moisturizer. It feels like nothing is on my skin. It is not heavy at all but moisturizes very well. It does not break me out. I wear this under my MAC face primer and MAC pro Longwear foundation and it looks great! I plan to only purchase this in the travel tube because it is cheaper (a little goes a long way so I think it will last a long time) and it is in a tube unlike the bigger size that is in a jar. I love the smell of this cream. It is not loud or overpowering. It is very pleasant and subtle. It kind of reminds me of a beachy like smell.

Buy this in the 1oz "travel" tube for $10 since it's a better value, and the packaging is more hygienic if jar packaging is a turn off for you. This moisturizer works well for my dry/eczema prone skin during the coldest, driest winter months. I use it day and night, and it never has broken me out or irritated my skin. Doesn't have a lot of fancy skincare ingredients, but it does its job well.

I'm surprised at how many people said in their reviews that this is a basic moisturizer. When you look at all the antioxidants in this formula you would know how good it is. It is not a basic moisturizer but an anti-aging cream as well. I jus tdon't like the parabens in it. I'm allergic to the smell of it. I love this cream and it makes your skin look beautiful but I wish it had no scent or a light scent would be nice. My eyes tear up terrible and my nose acts up. It's too bad because it's one of my fave moisturizers. Mac needs to make a scentless skin care line

This is the first time I have tried this moisture cream and I must say I am impressed. I never thought to purchase a skin care product from Mac as the concentrate on cosmetics, not skin care. I purchased the travel size to try it out after reading the reviews here and I love it. It is not heavy, greasy or shiney and it soaks in very quickly. It cooperated with my foundation very well, no balling up or rolling off. Time will tell if it causes any cystic eruptions, which I am prone to get with certain products.
It made my skin dewy, not shiney or sticky. I have taken good care of my skin over the years , so dryness and/or dullness has never been a problem, this just gives a nice glow. For the price, I will continue using the travel size as I love products in a tube.

I really like this! I bought it on a whim when replenishing Strobe Cream, and I figured for $10 for the travel size, it was worth a try. It's thick and rich but not heavy or greasy. I had mid-winter dry patches with some flakiness, but I applied this after a good exfoliating scrub and my face now feels baby soft and smooth! Even the next day my face is crazy soft. Nice work, MAC! Great product at a great price.

This is one of several face creams by MAC that I really like. I especially like their creams when I refrigerate them and use them in the morning before I apply make up. I do have fairly dry skin but find this to be perfect prior to make up application.

I like this moisturiser! I'm so surprised! This is the first mac skincare product that I have tried, I purchased in the travel size tube as I needed a moisturiser for a flight and to use while I was away and it had a good review from Paula's choice website (I always check her opinion before I purchase anything now) and surprisingly she rated the product (when in a tube and not a jar) as 'good'. And so I thought I would try.
I'm glad I did! It smells nice, has a nice thick consistency, it isn't too heavy or oily and it hasn't broke me out (huraah). I have fairly dry skin and it's vital for me to moisturise, this moisturiser doesn't promise any miracles but it definitely does what it says on the tin.
Yey to mac skincare!

This cream is very rich and moisturizing. I can't wear this in summer on my super oily t zone but in winter when my skintype Is totally the opposite it works fine. The smell is very nice but I don't like this sort of packaging. It's not very hygienic, can't stand it. Overall a good moisturizing cream which sometimes feels sticky on the skin. It's nothing to special but its ok to have it with me in the winter months.

I bought the "trial size" from Nordstrom because by volume it's cheaper than buying the jar and has more sanitary packaging in the tube. Although I live in a fairly moist climate, my skin gets dry, flaky patches that are most annoying. I wanted to love this moisturizer...and I just didn't. It smelled nice, the consistency was nice, but the performance was lackluster. Used it overnight and still had dry patches that would flake off during the day. Absolutely nothing special, and certainly not better than my CVS Olay Beauty Fluid generic knockoff. NEXT!
