LAKE BELTON (March 18, 2009)-Family members of the boater missing since a boating accident Tuesday evening were admitted into the search area Wednesday morning at Lake Belton
Belton Assistant Fire Chief Billy Pritchard said the man was last seen either wearing or clutching onto a life jacket after the vessel in which he was riding on Belton Lake capsized.
The search resumed Wednesday morning for the missing boater just after 7:00a.m.
A Game Warden from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department arrived first on the scene Wednesday morning, boat in tow.
Shortly after, DPS Troopers, Killeen Police Officers arrived to assist with the search.
The dive team with the Morgan's Point Volunteer Fire Department also brought out its water rescue craft Wednesday morning.
Authorities had called off the search around midnight.
A massive rescue operation continued late into the night Tuesday in Bell County after a 14-foot boat that capsized on Lake Belton.
Five people were on the boat at the time.
One of those boaters was confirmed dead.
Another was flown via helicopter to Scott & White Hospital.
Authorities said that person appeared to be OK; an update on their condition was not immediately available Wednesday morning.
The three others made it ashore and were treated by EMTs on the scene for exposure.
The Boating Accident
The boat capsized just after 7:15 p.m. Tuesday near Sparta Valley Park.
Pritchard said rescuers were searching for a man who witnesses said was either wearing or clutching onto a life jacket.
Pritchard said that a check with the Medical Director at Scott & White revealed the water temperature at the lake was 56 degrees and survivable for a reasonable amount of time.
Morgan's Point Fire Dive Team, Fort Hood's team, Bell County Sheriff's Office, the Belton Fire Department, Nolanville Fire Department, and a number of other agencies participated in Tuesday night's rescue efforts.

Memorial Day, for many cottage owners, is the grand opening. The day they fling open the curtains and windows and say "hello" to their summer vacation home.
Memorial Day, for many cottage owners, is the grand opening. The day they fling open the curtains and windows and say "hello" to their summer vacation home.
But, I don't understand why. Why do they wait so long? Winter is long enough, don't they get the itch to get north earlier? It's not the drive. I know from years of experience, that a large portion of cottage owners in my neck of the woods in Lake County, are from West Michigan — most have less than a two-hour drive.
Why are they spoiling their first three-day weekend of the season repairing and cleaning? There has been plenty of nice weather so far to get up there and get the dirty work done.
Memorial Day weekend is also the weekend that hundreds of docks pop up all around the area lakes. It's a big weekend for that. Maybe it's because there are more hands available to get the labor-intensive job done. Or, it's a bribe, inviting friends and family to "Come join us at the lake for the holiday!" and, when they get there ... you get the idea.
I've also learned from experience to stay far away from the corner grocery and the local hardware stores. On holiday weekends, people are jockeying for position in the usually fairly empty parking lots. I will admit I was one of those making a trip to the hardware store on Saturday, but it was a toilet emergency. Stuff like that can't wait.
This winter, my nephew, Kim, and his buddy, Mitch, worked on some inside projects on the cottage — a new banister for the stairwell and some remodeling in the basement. They made a "guy's weekend" out of the remodeling. And the best part, it was all done before our official opening of cottage season, which was the first of April. Allowing them to sit back and relax on the holiday.
There's always work to be done. It's unavoidable. But, I had a wonderful, relaxing weekend with no projects. My spring cleaning had been done weeks ago, giving me ample time to enjoy two of the babies that joined our family over the winter.
I'll just sit back and wait for this frantic scene to repeat itself on Labor Day — except in reverse. And I'll enjoy the quiet of the fall, sitting on my deck with a cup of coffee, while watching a lone fisherman enjoy the peace and serenity of the lake.

School-closure fight: Cooper Elementary community's new websiteDecember 15, 2008 at 1:32 am | In Pigeon Point, West Seattle news, West Seattle online, West Seattle school closure, West Seattle schools | 12 Comments
Just got word of this and wanted to share the link: Cooper Elementary's community has put up a website to get the information out about their fight to keep the school "program" from being closed, as is now listed as a "potential final recommendation" as Seattle Public Schools tries to find a new home for Pathfinder K-8. The site is at cooperschoolworks.com, and among other info, it lists the next round of meetings this week – district public hearing at Genesee Hill tomorrow night, School Board meeting Wednesday, and a meeting at Cooper on Thursday, with more content promised. It also links to the Cooper "fact sheet" we told you about last Wednesday. (On the "closure info" page at the official Cooper Elementary website, by the way, you can now read a handwritten letter by a student in Cooper's autism program.)
12 Comments
cooper website is looking great- thanks to everyone involved!!
is there any speculation on what will happen with all the hearings this week, due to this horrid weather? this is the last week of classes before winter break, seems like "discussion" time is really running out….
Comment by brittany — 9:54 am December 15, 2008 #
Brittany, I have that question out to district communications staff and will post when we hear something back. Genesee Hill tomorrow night will be particularly challenging to access.
KUOW's Weekday is featuring the school closure debate during its morning talk show tomorrow, Tuesday, Dec. 16 from 9-10 a.m. Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson and Board member Michael DeBell will be among our panelists. We encourage all listeners to call in at (800) 289-KUOW or e-mail email@example.com to help get a healthy, balanced discussion going.
Comment by Weekday team — 11:36 am December 15, 2008 #
update from Patti Spencer at SPS communications (I also included this in the latest weather roundup)
"At this time, we plan to proceed with all scheduled public hearings. If there is a change, we will announce that immediately via our Web site and other means. We understand that some locations in the city are experiencing more challenging road conditions than others. We want our families and community to be safe, and we also want to hear from them. In addition to public hearings, we also continue to receive feedback via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com "
parents- it's up to you. if you need to fight for your school, then you leave early and find a route there. if you need to stay up late- then you do. you are the only ones that this whole battle is up to. if there are non english speaking people at your school- be proactive send home mailings in all lang. get a volunteer translator for meetings. it's not accurate to assume that pulling the race card and doing nothing else will ever save your school.
disclaimer- i am not a parent in the west seattle cluster- i am just tired of hearing people complain with out doing something about it
what i have read is that teachers are fighting the cooper fight-
Comment by SPS parent — 11:40 am December 15, 2008 #
JJ Ball, who led the two meetings at Cooper that we have covered, is the parent of a kindergartener; Brittany Abbott, who was the first to e-mail us and also was leafletting at Delridge CC over the weekend, is the parent of twin boys in 2nd grade. And many of those at both meetings were clearly parents, along with a few who were speaking out that obviously were staff members. There was a dad at the last meeting that volunteered to create a website quickly – I don't know for sure if he's involved with this one that's the subject of our post. FWIW, Arbor Heights had staffers involved in their campaign too. Just a data point, since we've been to every publicly accessible meeting along the way in these past few weeks … TR
i'm curious to hear how the weekday show turned out. too bad most of the parents in seattle were dealing with getting their kids on 2-hour delay snow route buses from 9-10am today! i know i was.
Comment by brittany — 3:59 pm December 15, 2008 #
it appears to be tomorrow so you still have time :)
ah! i should read more. LOL thanks! hopefully we won't be out chasing buses again tomorrow.
Comment by brittany — 4:27 pm December 15, 2008 #
Does anyone know which school was featured on the local NPR show week about school closures? I was very sad to hear a person from one school explain that they had to "offer up a sacrificial lamb" and it was the school that had few resources / parents who knew how to navigate the system to fight the closure.
I teach in a high poverty school here in Seattle, but I know little about the West Seattle politics. Did anyone else hear it? Please fill me in.
I don't want any school to be closed, but I cannot believe that individuals at a school would "offer up" another school as a way to save their own.
Very sad.
I'll try to read more about it and see if I can figure out which schools were involved. I am just wondering if the school with fewer resources and less parent activism is still on the school closure list.
Good luck.
Comment by Jenny — 5:26 am December 16, 2008 #
hi jenny-
it's the unfortunate fact that schools facing closure are told point blank that they MUST name names- if you don't want your school closed, then tell the school board which school is a better choice. it's horrible, and it pits neighbor against neighbor. i agree- closing schools should never be a solution, especially successful schools!
cooper is indeed the school "with fewer resources and less parent activism" and we are definitely still on the list. check out the website at cooperschoolworks.com to see how you can speak out.
tracy- can you post a new item about this issue being on the radio this morning? also, cooper has arranged bus transportation from several spots in delridge to get parents to the meeting tonight in genessee hill. i can get you that info, or maybe just have people call the school if they need details?
Comment by brittany — 7:53 am December 16, 2008 #
Just starting to move on to other news now – just tuned in to radio show, have missed it if they have talked about West Seattle in the first half hour. Have included the hearing info in a separate item, though, and am pointing people to the school as you suggest.
Sorry, comment time is over.

Ryan not going anywhere, Souray puts Devils on his list? Modin on the block? Injury news
- Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: LeBrun talked to Ducks GM Bob Murray about the rumors that he might be trading restricted free agent Bobby Ryan. "Unequivocally, I'm not trading him," Murray told ESPN.com on Friday. "My plan is to get him signed."
- Mark Everson of the NY Post: Everson was told that Sheldon Souray might have put the New Jersey Devils on his list of teams he'd consider a trade too.
- Adrian Dater of the Denver Post: Dater thinks the Avalanche should trade Sheldon Souray for John-Michael Liles, straight up. I sure the Oilers could get more Souray than just Liles.
- David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: There is a chance that the Sharks will be without Dan Boyle and Marc-Edouard Vlasic for tonight's game. Both will be a game time decision.
- Jim Gintonio of the Arizona Republic: Coyotes winger Scottie Upshall left Thursday's game with a 'lower-body' injury. The extent of the injury is not known yet. If it's serious, they might have to look elsewhere for help. "Number 1, we're just waiting to see if this is something significant, long term, then we probably have to dial up our search for another offensive player," Maloney said.
- Aaron Portzline and Tom Reed: The Blue Jackets are 9 points out of the last playoff spot, and will most likely be sellers at the trade deadline. Raffi Torres and Milan Jurcina have been mentioned in the past, but you can add Freddie Modin to that list. Modin hasn't been asked to waive his no-trade clause yet.

In the airport bar, I tell my mother not to worry.
No one ever tripped and fell into the San Andreas
Fault. But as she dabs at her dry eyes, I remember
those old movies where the earth does open.
There's always one blonde entomologist, four
deceitful explorers, and a pilot who's good-looking
but not smart enough to take off his leather jacket
in the jungle.
Still, he and Dr. Cutie Bug are the only ones
who survive the spectacular quake because
they spent their time making plans to go back
to the Mid-West and live near his parents
while the others wanted to steal the gold and ivory
then move to Los Angeles where they would rarely
call their mothers and almost never fly home
and when they did for only a few days at a time.

Hello Masters,
Getting you started here on Tuesday before heading home for the evening. Biz trip to Africa has been pushed back and delayed a bit so got a bit of reprieve as I was supposed to leave next next weekend. We'll see when it is pushed back to (sometime in mid-to-late April but not suprising as this kind of thing happens a lot in international cooperation government projects and more so when they involve Africa. Doesn't bother me any as more time with family!
The air quality is terrible this week so far as the smog and fine dust particles that have come over from China are no combined with yellow dust from the Gobi Desert so I opted to go to KS this morning and run on the TM there. Started the run at 6:15 and got in 6.45 progressive miles in 54:59 (8:31/mile) - Good run and good sweat. Hopefully the air quality gets a bit better later this week so I'm not running on the TM all week.
from yesterday & beyond...
dfbourg => So good to hear about Dad and his recovery and being able to drive and do whatever he wants. Hope you can get in a run at some point soon.
MothAudio => Nice 7 miler on Sunday at 9:11/mile pace. Glad the shoes are working out. You've always run in Nikes, right?
Oregon Rainrunner => Nice pics, I know the Trillium well as it is against the law (or at least it used to be illegal way back when) to pick them in my native Ontario, Canada due to it being the designated Provincial Flower of Ontario.
Liney => Good going with the 5 miles down at the Y. Hope you get that warmth soon. Cubbies getting some positive coverage in the media due to the job the front office and Epstein is doing.
BOSNPM => Good swim and hope the recovery is going well. When is the next race planned?
Poppy Ott => Good for you in getting out there in the rain and fog for 4.35 miles even though the ducks wouldn't move oer for you.
Spunky57 => Great job with the 19 miles done running on Saturday, cycling on Sunday and 10 miles on Monday. Great mileage and way to go. Sorry to hear about the baby supervisor on your shoulder. My manager will walk around but doesn't stand behind my desk so I feel for you. Hope he changes his ways and things get better for you at the office.
mysolitude => Nice going with the easy "raced" 10K and nice time. Also congrat's to your DD who won a beer mug (that will never see any beer in it) and your DD#3 for her work with chemical company. Great stuff and you must proud.
n8simmons => Hope that heavy rain and lake around you subsides. Doesn't sound very good at all. I'll stop complaining about the air quality now.
jbyram2 => Good 7.8 miles in the inch of snow (we wouldn't even call that a "dusting" in Canada ;-))
marco59 => Here I am pretty proud of my TM run this morning and you double it in distance almost and at 7:14/mile pace. Great going.
Snail With Legs => Sorry to hear about the boredom with the cycling but it is good to hear the calf is holding up and that is the main thing and hopefully you can get out there soon.
NB4 => My TM run today matched your early outside run yesterday morning. See we are running virtually at times. This MH370 Flight mystery is really weird and seems like there is some info not being made public or revealed. Hope life is treating you well.
Mile1 => Hope it was a good rest day yesterday and you can get in a run today.
Rcl2884 => Like I said to NB4 up above, I didn't know your run yesterday but seemed to have matched it on the TM this morning. Good run in the wind and cold.
George21 => Hello and hope your weekend was a good one with a run or 2. As I said to Liney up above, Cubbies getting some love in the press.
OK, better wrap this up now and head home. Have a good Tuesday Masters.
Good morning Pudov! Given your air quality do you wear a mask? Monday: SRD. Decided to stick to my usual schedule and take a rest day following my high mileage week. I'll get out this afternoon when it warms up. Run inspired Masters!

10.2 (2.8 with Weston) up and over the Merrick rd overpass. Nice waning moon this morning flirting with the clouds. Had a headwind coming back and felt a bit underdressed, 30 *F with the wind was too cold for only a LS and SS shirt. Legs were still fine in shorts though! 11 ish pace.
Off to the neurologist to review my brain MRI this afternoon.
Back to work.. Have a great day Masters!!

Good morning Friends!
Beautiful morning for a 10 mile run. I got it all done before work today. Yesterday's miles were split between an am/pm run. I didn't get my full 10 in because of stomach issues. Had to stay close to the restroom. I'm wondering if it has to do with the new boss. I'm discovering that as I get older I dislike change more and more. It'll be fine.
PUD - You make me grateful for our air quality. All I smell is cattle feedlots. They call that the smell of money around here. Ha! Ha!
MOTH - Do you have a narrow foot? I find NIKE shoes too narrow for me. I think I like too much wiggle room.
UPSMAN - Nice pace for you.
BOSN - It seems you trained with more speed, hill & cross training for you marathon and less LR's. It sure turned out to be good RX for you.
RAM2 - You described my moon perfectly!
Have a blessed day friends, Spunky
I thought I had fat feet until I noticed guys wearing sandals! I would say my foot is medium width. That said, Nike lightweight trainers and flats do run narrow and I'm approaching the limits in those shoes [without spilling over the edge of the midsole]. The latest version of the LunaRacer is slightly wider and is a more comfortable fit for me [especially for long runs or races].
Hi gang,
Nothing for me today, I'm still sick. Need to finish up a small project at work today, then will head home.
ciao for now,
Good morning, Masters.
Pudov - "this kind of thing happens a lot in international cooperation government projects and more so when they involve Africa." Where in Africa are you headed? We lived in Malawi for nine years, and are quite familiar with TIA - 'This Is Africa.'
jb - hoping for good report on your MRI today
41* and very foggy again, but no rain today and the ducks were happier, too. It's speed work Tuesday for me. Just completed 12 x 400 at 2:10 m/400 with 400 recoveries, 1.5 mile warm-up, and 2 mile cool-down, for a total of 7.61 miles.
Happy running everyone, and enjoy the day!

Hi everyone. Quick post today. Missed my morning run so will do a few on the TM after work. Longer tomorrow if I can wake up early enough.
Here's what the version with the wider toe box looks like.

Good afternoon
I had a foot issue come up Sunday out of no where. I didn't do anything no running just went to work which was rained out. It just started hurting on the outside of the middle. When I took my shoes off it seemed fine. I didn't run yesterday just lifted and did some core and flex. Today hurting again just walking around with shoes.
This afternoon did my run. Had a Tempo workout to do and it was very windy. As soon as I started running I couldn't feel the foot. Did 7 1/2 total with 1 1/2@8:36 with a 1:30 recovery than 1 1/4@7:16 the 1 1/4 was a 1:20 1st quarter than the mile right on time at 5:56 but that was back into the wind very tough, so I'm sure it would have been noticeably faster. After Tempo changed shoes for cool down I could than feel my foot jogging.
We'll have to see what tomorrow brings.

Pudov- sounds like you made a good decision staying indoors today.
Bosn- great job on your half this past weekend. Good swim workout.
Mysol- have a good run this evening
Snail- hope you run goes well this evening
Poppy- 12x400 Wow nice job. I was in Pigeon Forge this past summer. had some good hill workouts and even made a video that I posted on my website.
Jbyram- nice job on the 10+
Spunky- just keep at it you'll be fine. Focus more attention on being ready for the marathon and less attention on what might change at work.
6.4 miles again
It's getting later and later in the day with my posting. The days are just eating away at my free time for now.
If the post doesn't happen in the morning it seems it's just barely happening and/or it may just not happen at all. I need to make more of an effort to get on here for a few moments during the day. To not do so would be to make an excuse as above
Two ambulances at one of the remote houses on my route this morning around 3:00 AM. That cannot be good.
Have a good evening all....enjoy
All is fine thank you.... (salute)
Thank you....(salute)
Back from work early. Starting dinner, then heading down to the TM for 5 miles while watching the Voice Or American Idol.... One of those. Oh heck, save me. I'm eating potato chips!
Snail, hope your 5.25 goes well.
NB4, Steady Eddie 6.4. Has a jingle to it.
Fittest, That is crazy about you foot. Hope it's just a phantom that evaporate as fast as it showed up.
Oregon, what's trillium, and does it have a street value
Spunky, nice 10.
Moth, looks like you ran off a few toe nails!
Jb, your avatar picture is so much fun. Makes me want to get out and run. Nice 10.2 this morning.
Mysol, I'll be with you on the mill later tonight.
Poppy, "Speedwork Tuesday" nice Workout!
E, Feel better soon!
BOSM, I think your suppose to wear swim trunks. Hope you had a long shirt!
Upsman, youre doing great with your miles. 53 last week?
Pudov, glad you can get more time with your family.
George, do you have a running streak going?
Upcoming Races:

Pudov... I always like it when business trips get cancelled or delayed. tough running in the smog, I bet. It may be cold where I am, but at least the air is clear. You would have been well in front of me on yesterday's run.
Nice swim, BosnPM... so is the shirt for resistance training? I hope your weather has improved.
good luck on the MRI, jbyram... scary!
I hope the 5.25 went OK, Snail.
Nice 10, Spunky. I have never thought of bosses as being a cause of GI issues... so I guess the added stress?
Did you get that run in, MySol?
weird about the foot, Fittest. I hope it is nothing.
Hi NB4... I certainly understand about the challenges in getting a post in. Sometimes life interferes! I did see your post on Sunday about falls... and you are not doubt right, about me being not sufficiently cautious. Although I have to report that I am 0 for 2014 in falls...knock on wood... should not have mentioned it, in fact, since I am sure that will jinx me. most of my falls are on trails and due to lack of attention. When there is black ice, I tend to focus...since a fall when running fast on asphalt is a lot different from a slow run tumble in the woods.
I did a nice 8.4 miler after work as the sun set. Not too cold.. high 20's maybe? Everything felt good, other than my right hamstring. This has been talking to me some for about a week... I feel like it is starting to move from something I notice to something I am worrying about. I have been rolling and rubbing it, but the question, in my mind now, is whether I should be resting it.

Good Evening Masters,
6.2 miles this evening on a windy evening. Great to be outdoors and getting the work done.
BOSNPM - congrats on a well run half. Those splits looked great and consistent. Enjoyed the quicker pace the last couple miles - well done. Good work on the swim and spin to recover.
Mile1 - funny you mentioned that - it ended yesterday, could not make it out. I see you have some races in the books for this year. Will keep the Schaumburg race on the back burner if time permits. Hope you had a good run on the TM.
Rick - nice work on the 8.4 after work. Hope the hamstring issue resolves itself. Listen to your body and rest if you need, wish I did last year.
NB4 - I see your coming to the dark side and posting on bottom half of the thread, where I am at. Understand about the time getting away and posting later. Good work on the 6.4 this morning. Never a good thing with ambulances out at 3AM.
mysol - hope you get to bed early and get that longer run in tomorrow morning.
Pudov - unfortunately it will probably be one more lackluster year. Hopefully 2015 will finally turn the corner with the strong young kids coming up. Nice work on the 6:45 on the TM this morning. More time with the family is always a good thing.
Spunky - good work on the early ten before work.
dfbourg - glad to hear that dad is home and feeling better.
Opus - it was supposed to be a week back to normal and some runs - any luck?
Liney - hope all is well and getting in some early morning runs in.
Be Well….


text: The first part of Episode 6 of Paul Rodriguez's "Life" documentary series found P-Rod taking over the Berrics to re-create his first ever full length street part, documented in the City Stars video "Street Cinema" from 2001. With his original videographer Heath Brinkley in tow, Paul continues his quest in part 2: namely, executing all original 48 tricks in one 24-hour span. The experience appears to recharge his batteries — even when Heath neglects to hit record on a switch nose grind 180 — and gives Paul an opportunity to look back on the long road he's traveled, and just how far he's come. Check out the video below.

A recent French media report offers insight into the French position in the negotiations with the Indian defense ministry on the MMRCA fighter aircraft purchase by the IAF. Here's an edited translation of the report and an analysis of what it could mean.
All new F-16 might ring a bell
Lockheed Martin's new variant of its successful F-16 fighter aircraft, the F-16V, will have upgraded capabilities that might remind readers of the configuration offered by them for the IAF contest for 126 MMRCA, designated the F-16IN.
Lockheed Martin to announce new F-16 Block 50 variant
Although the design will be based on the Block 50 model, it will incorporate newer features that have, so far, only been included in the Block 60 Desert Falcons flown by the UAE Air Force and were part of the F-16IN Super Viper for the Indian Air Force tender for 126 Medium Multi Role Combat […]
44 facts about the MMRCA
StratPost tweeted facts about the Indian Air Force (IAF) tender for 126 Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) and the participating aircraft last week. Here they are on a single page, for easy reference. And please feel free to add any more in the comments. They will be updated on this page.
MMRCA may already have one assured winner
India's decision to eliminate four of the six aircraft in the Indian Air Force tender for 126 Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft, first reported by StratPost, may already have resulted in one winner, even before the commercial bids for the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Rafale are opened.
Stricken MMRCA vendors not walking away yet
The spurned vendors and countries failing to receive invitations by the Indian Ministry of Defense to extend the validity of their commercial bids for the Indian Air Force (IAF) tender for 126 Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA), which expired on Thursday, have issued cautious responses indicating that they do not consider the matter closed […]
Blog: How to win the MMRCA
Let's speculate about the Indian Air Force USD 10 billion tender for 126 Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) and draw some conclusions, for fun.
Raytheon's offering at Aero India
US defense systems manufacturer Raytheon plans to exhibit a wide range of products and programs in the areas of Intelligence, Surveillance And Reconnaissance (ISR), Command, Control And Communications (C3), integrated air & missile defense, missile systems, radar and homeland security (including coastal/maritime security), at Aero India 2011 in Bangalore next week.

Kids attending Bible school love to make crafts to accompany their studies. This is a guide about Bible school craft ideas.
Read and rate the best solutions below by giving them a "thumbs up".
This is a great project for Vacation Bible School. Fun for the little ones. It is a Bible made from a bar of Ivory soap.
By Harlean from Hot Springs, AR
Editor's Note: Harlean has also provided a PDF of this craft with more pictures. Click here to download it.
We order plain white t shirts from a bulk store, fabric markers from Oriental Trade Company, and iron-on computer paper. Before Bible School, we design an iron on based on our VBS Theme and print it on the iron-on paper (be sure to print it backwards so it irons on correctly!).
Then at Bible School, we let the kids go wild with the fabric markers. Be sure to put newspaper in the t-shirts so the markers don't bleed through. The kids decorate the front one day, and the back the next day. Sometimes they get their friends to autograph the shirts. All the kids wear their shirts for the closing program!
By SueO from PA
Windchimes made of sea things, beads, and recycled can lids seemed like a good fit for our deep sea-themed Bible School program. It will take two days.
Based on the Bible verse, "Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions", I designed this for preschoolers at our Bible school. It could be used for any any sea or pirate ship themed party or program.
Approximate Time: 10 minutes, plus play time.
By Cindy from Waynesburg, PA
With a deep sea theme at Bible school this year, it seemed appropriate to do a beach scene which reminds kids that we all need a place to meditate and pray in order to recharge our batteries from time to time.

Here are questions related to Bible School Craft Ideas.
Does any one have a craft ideal for scrap wood for Bible School? We are building a new church and have lots of wood. Thanks
Cynthia from Lewisport, KY
AnswerWas this interesting? Yes No
By tree (Guest Post) 07/08/2008
We use small blocks of wood with a hole drilled in top to make mini vases and then the children make ribbon flowers. You can then give these out for mothers day, easter etc, instead of paying vast amounts for fresh flowers (the parents love the idea of recycling left over wood too).
I am looking for an interesting craft for a youth Bible Study class. The class includes boys and girls of all ages and several are in the same family. That said, I'd like something that they could all work on together making a group project, instead of multiple individual ones.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is what we are doing :)
1. Horseshoe hanger. I got a free template of a horseshoe online and enlarged it on my printer...made a pattern and used posterboard in various colors...hole punched the tops so the kids can use brown yarn (looks like rope) to hang it and then they will decorate with markers and foam western stickers.
2. Purchased foam hats at the Dollar Tree and have a flat pattern of a horse they will glue on to the hat.
3. Bracelets with beads.
4. White t-shirts that the kids will use Western stamps or paint. A prior year...the kids sponged painted in brown a vest and I think a sheriff badge on it.
5. Small Western wall hanger: red/white beads hung on white yarn, make four strands alternate the colors however long you like * I think ours will be about 3 or 4 inches or so (we have the beads already individually bagged.) Foam (rectangle shape with cardboard glued to the back for stability (old cereal boxes...) and then hole punched four times on the bottom to hang the beads and the center will have them put a cowboy hat with the wording "Hats off to Jesus." Use yarn to hang it.
6. One extra thing for toddlers (not doing the wall bead hanging)
Take their handprint in brown paint turn it upside down and then add a yarn tail and add ears/mouth when dry.
I am in charge of crafts this year for VBS (Vacation Bible School) for kids 4th through 6th grade. We have a cowboy theme, "Ropin for Jesus". I need to decorate our room so I'm looking for some cowboy/western craft ideas that are inexpensive.
Thank you so much in advance and God bless!

Foam picture frame or poster board "Wanted by God" at the top and then add western stickers.
Stationery. "I'll Stick with Jesus" draw a cactus on it. I'm sure you can come up with more. :)
Paper grocery bags, make western vests out of them
White t-shirts, paint with western stamps (oriental trading)
Danielle's Place is my favorite site for craft ideas.
Oriental trading, you don't always have to order, make your own patterns on poster board.
Any ideas for crafts, songs, and activities for teaching 3-5 year olds on Acts 4? I need it for this weekend.:)

Bible activities are bible reading, coloring pages, paintings, bell angel crafts, nativity crafts, pony bead cross necklace, Yarn Crosses crafts.

One craft that our older kids like to do is mosics. We buy cheap tile, then break it, and they make a trivit (base is a 8 by 8 peice of plywood. Often they make a flower, cross or whatever with the tile on it. Often the lumber yards will give us broken tiles for free.
I'm helping with a vacation bible school that has a "behind the scenes" like Hollywood theme. They have a red carpet set up for the kids to enter on, but we need help with decorations and craft/activity ideas that are more bible based than Hollywood-based. I'd love to hear any creative ideas.

Shoe boxes - kids decorate them with paint, stickers, markers, wrapping paper/tissue and then take their "crafts" home in them at the end of the week.
Crosses made with Popsicle sticks - paint or mark on them, glue then use twine to "finish" off (at the crossed area). (03/20/2010)

Liver (Hepatocellular) Cancer Screening (PDQ®)
General Information About Liver (Hepatocellular) Cancer
Key Points for This Section
Liver cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the liver.
The liver is one of the largest organs in the body. It has four lobes and fills the upper right side of the abdomen inside the rib cage. Three of the many important functions of the liver are:
- To filter harmful substances from the blood so they can be passed from the body in stools and urine.
- To make bile to help digest fats from food.
- To store glycogen (sugar), which the body uses for energy.
See the following PDQ summaries for more information about liver (hepatocellular) cancer:
- Liver (Hepatocellular) Cancer Prevention
- Adult Primary Liver Cancer Treatment
- Childhood Liver Cancer Treatment
Liver cancer is less common in the United States than in other parts of the world.
Liver cancer is uncommon in the United States, but is the fourth most common cancer in the world. In the United States, men, especially Chinese American men, have a greater risk of developing liver cancer.
Having hepatitis or cirrhosis can increase the risk of developing liver cancer.
Anything that increases the chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. People who think they may be at risk should discuss this with their doctor. Risk factors for liver cancer include:
- Having hepatitis B or hepatitis C; having both hepatitis B and hepatitis C increases the risk even more.
- Having cirrhosis, which can be caused by:
- Eating foods tainted with aflatoxin (poison from a fungus that can grow on foods, such as grains and nuts, that have not been stored properly).

LG's new earphones are an interesting way of recording and monitoring your heart rate without strapping something to your wrist. If you typically listen to music while exercising, it's an even better fit. At this price, however, the sound quality isn't quite good enough.Read the full review →

Good fitness gadget, poor earphones
Many people won't wear wrist-based heart rate monitors for an extended period because they find it uncomfortable having something attached tightly to my arm. For those folks, heart rate monitor headphones sound like the perfect solution. LG's earphones aren't quite perfect, though. We found the wiring between the earbuds themselves and the Bluetooth unit a bit unwieldy -- the cords were prone to tangling every time I took them off. For headphones, they're not cheap either: $180 at Best Buy. There's really no other device like it, however. Intel's smart ears are just a concept for now, while other options are either gestating in crowdfunding or outright hoaxes. LG's headphones, which you can buy today, give surprisingly accurate heart rate readings. Particularly thanks to the capable app, we can recommend them to fitness types who can't do without music -- just be prepared for some underwhelming audio.

This inspiring exhibition of metal "tapestries" and other sculptures by El Anatsui, one of Africa's most powerful contemporary artists, celebrates Africa's rich artistic and cultural heritage. El Anatsui uses found objects such as metal liquor caps and other discarded materials to create spectacular metal cloths, including Hovor, which the Hood Museum of Art recently acquired, and two recently completed works that will be exhibited for the first time. The works in this exhibition references broader concerns about the adverse affects of globalization, consumerism, and waste. Organized by the Oriel Mostyn Gallery in North Wales, United Kingdom, this is El Anatsui's first solo exhibition to travel the United States.
Reviews of GAWU have now appeared in the Boston Globe (February 24, 2007), Seven Days (February 14, 2007), and The Dartmouth (January 16, 2007).
The presentation of this Oriel Mostyn Gallery touring exhibition at the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, is generously funded by the George O. Southwick 1957 Memorial Fund and the Hansen Family Fund.

Former state Rep. Brian Palmer, R-Romeo, pleaded no contest for his role in an investment scheme.

Former state Rep. Brian Palmer, R-Romeo, pleaded no contest today in Ingham County District Court to a charge of neglect of duty by a public official for his role in an investment Ponzi scheme that allegedly defrauded more than 150 people.
He was sentenced to one year of probation on the misdemeanor charge, ordered to complete 320 hours of community service and pay fines and costs of $405. A no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is treated as a guilty plea for the purposes of sentencing.

Oñate High School MedStart Academy is excited to start its ninth year as one of the top high school medical programs in the state. We began in 2005 with a small cohort of 30 students who came in with the goal to be pre-trained as medical professionals in an effort to fill the shortage within New Mexico's medical communities. Our program has grown and with this growth we have been able to add new classes.
We currently enroll more than 400 students and have expanded our program of study from pre-nursing and Emergency Medical Technician to include disaster medicine, sports medicine, athletic training, biomedicine, forensics, community service, community health and therapeutic services. Students in our program have the opportunity to obtain career certifications in areas such as American Heart Association BLS/CPR, FEMA Community Emergency Response Team training, First Aid, and Hazardous Materials Awareness.
The changes in medical practice, technology and availability of services are key factors that drive our medical program. Our advisory group, made up of various health care professionals nationwide, tells us that students must have an understanding of basic workplace ethics, in addition to skills. Most employers are looking for individuals who are able to communicate professionally, provide patient care, read and create technical documents, understand cultural differences, use basic medical terminology and know anatomy and physiology. We have redesigned our program to include all of these attributes, in addition to the basic curriculum.
Apart from medical knowledge and workplace ethics, the biggest aspect that sets our program apart from others is that all of our students participate in community service. In the 2013-2014 school year, Oñate MedStart students collectively put in more than 15,000 community service hours. They attended large events, such as Dress-A-Child, Bataan Memorial Death March and March of Dimes, to smaller events such as on-campus activities and neighborhood gatherings. In addition, all students are part of the student-run organization "HOSA-Future Health Professionals," a national organization that focuses on advancing health education and training under the direction of the Surgeon General. Through this organization, our students collaborate with other schools both locally and nationally, as well as apply for college scholarships and internships with the Surgeon General's office.
One of our local partners and competition rivals is Las Cruces High School under the direction of Joanie Anderson. They collaborate with us on major events and also compete against us at state and national competitions. Through both programs, we have seen students build healthy relationships with one another and with others interested in the same career path.
Every February, our students travel to Albuquerque to compete in the state competition for HOSA medical pathways. In 2013-14 we took 28 students to competition. Our kids walked away with 18 Gold Medals, nine Silver Medals, 10 Bronze Medals, 13 National Qualifiers and the Medical Reserve Core Outstanding New Mexico Unit award. We also had our current HOSA President, Samantha Adam, chosen as the only representative from New Mexico to be placed on the National Youth Preparedness Council for Disaster Medicine.
This school year, we are thrilled to announce the creation of our new website. On this site we have posted information about our program, volunteer opportunities, awards, links to our community partners, classroom curriculum and many more exciting things. Check it out at onatemedstart.org.

That was a comment from last week's column underscoring the need to get more people involved in Oshkosh's civic life.

Lucky for me, the Northwestern building is made out of stone and won't shatter anytime soon by someone posing such a question.

Lakeview finished its regular season on Thursday night with a hard-fought victory over Portage Northern in a Southwestern Michigan Athletic Conference cross-division game.
The Spartans were down by one heading into the fourth quarter, but found a way to pull out a 54-49 win over the Huskies in the final minutes of the contest.
"We've been in a lot of close games lately and we haven't been able to get over the hump, so it was nice to finally get a win on a night where it was a close game instead of having it go the other way," said Lakeview head coach Steve Wichmann. "The guys have played hard, they've ...

Time Required: About a minute (with practice - oh yeah, that practice is fun too)
Here's How it's done:
1. Open the condom package carefully (remember that sharp nails or teeth may cause small tears in the condom - a definite bad thing). Make sure that the condom is positioned properly and facing the right way around so it can roll down.
2. Place the condom in your opened mouth with the reservoir tip facing inwards; gently hold the edges with your lips (gently placing the ring of the condom in front of your teeth).
3. While still holding the condom in your mouth, slowly make your mouth into an O shape.
4. To keep air out of the tip of the condom by pushing the reservoir tip up against the roof of your mouth with your tongue.
5. If you like, you can wrap your hands around the base of your partner's penis to keep it sturdy and help with directing yourself. With your mouth, place the condom on the tip of his erect penis, making sure to squeeze the air out of the tip with your tongue pressing against the head of the penis.
6. Use your moistened lips to push the condom over the head of the penis (without letting your teeth touch the condom of course), and roll it all the way down the penis shaft with lips firm. Make sure you are only using your lips or the front of your teeth to help guide the way.
7. Run your lips up and down the shaft at least a few times to squeeze the air out of the condom (you can really add some sex appeal to this step!).
8. Be very careful not to let the edges of your teeth come in contact with the condom as it may tear or get a "nick".
9. Check with your hands to make sure it is on properly and rolled all the way to the base without being lose.
1. Most lubricated condoms have an dreadful taste, so try using flavored condoms or a non-lubricated condom.
2. Don't attempt this technique if you have any mouth sores of any kind or if your partner has any known STD or other injury in that reigon.
3. Be aware that it may take several attempts to perfect the method, so don't go getting discouraged if it doesn't work out the first few times.
4. Always take your time, slow, smooth and carefully -- you don't want to damage, bite or tear the condom or the penis for that matter!
5. Remember that condoms are the only birth control method that also protect against most sexually transmitted diseases and the HIV virus.
What You Will Need
A fresh Condom (in original package) - Always check expiration date first, and maybe a few spare for practice.
Optional Personal Lubricant, preferably water based and possibly flavoured.
Plenty of patience, some pick it up faster than others - just enjoy as the outcome for both will be pleasurable.
An open mind, sense of adventure and the ability to relax, enjoy the moment and have some uninhibited sexy fun!

So on to the third of these itty bitty expressive figure paintings. I got the inspiration for these figures from a pack of vintage photos I bought on Etsy. And I am starting to think, that might be one of the best ways to do it:)
I love painting like this!
Until later:)
Filed under Finished Pieces, Work in Progress
And I'm back!
And like promised, I have more expressive figure paintings to share.
So, here we are:
What a colorful couple! Can you tell I am excited for summer?
Sorry for the quick post, but I gotta run. Have a wonderful day!
Filed under Photos, Work in Progress
So, I know I said I was ready to begin painting that one painting, you know the one, again. Truth is, I don't know if I ever will be.
I started out thinking I would challenge myself to paint is as photo realistially as possible.
But, I can't stand painting photo realistically.
The few times I have tried, I nearly pulled my hair out. And this is no exception. I think I may re-paint that dreaded painting it a way I am more comfortable with. But that will have to wait.
Here is a little painting I did while avoiding work on the big bad one. I did a few of these, so I will be sharing them over the next few weeks.
So, here is the first.
It was such a relief painting so loosely. I get so wound up painting the "other way". But at least I have learned my limits.
Until next time friends!
Filed under Critiques, Work in Progress
I have a work in progress to share.
the photo is horrible.
I seem to be stuck in an awful-photo-taking-slump.
maybe it is because I have been so busy lately.
excuses. excuses.
anyway here is my awful picture.
Until Friday….
Filed under Photos, Work in Progress
Happy Wednesday! AKA Hump Day. AKA the day before my Birthday. AKA the day before my Hunny treats me to a delicious Rack of Ribs! MMMMMNNNNNnnn.
I have been talking about ribs, and how delicious ribs are, and how I am getting them on my Birthday to the point of absurdity. But, all this girl needs for a good birthday is a stack of napkins and, mmmmmmmmnnnnn, ribs.
But in the meantime, when I wasn't drooling, I finished up those "just for fun" paintings I started while taking a break from my other paintings. Here they are:
I showed you the beginning of this one last week.
And then, just because pushing paint around can be so fun, I did these three little non-objective paintings.
Well, I am off! Have a good one, and I will be back tomorrow!
Filed under Finished Pieces, Photos, Work in Progress
As you may remember, I was working on a rather large painting and getting very very very very frustrated. So I took a break. I still wanted to paint, just not that painting.
This is what I have finished/ begun since.
Remember this one? Here it is.
And just for fun, I started this. It is all of 5 by 5 inches and there is no pressure.
There you are friends!
I will be back Friday:)
Filed under Critiques, Finished Pieces, Photos, Work in Progress
Hello Everyone!
I hope your Wednesday is going wonderfully! The weather here in the ABQ, really couldn't be nicer. Possibly the perfect nap weather??? Cause I am seriously draggin' and caffeine isn't helping.
Anyway, this is what I managed to get done this last weekend on this painting. More has been done than you can see, trust me, but I had better kick it into gear and get this done so I can start another. I am still struggling with the face, but I am thinking that has something to do with the fact that I ALWAYS work on it when I am without natural light. And the yellow incandescent bulbs in my studio make the colors look all wonky. You think I would have learned by now…
My plan is to finish the layout, correcting little bits here and there, and then start glazing for a deeper look. Will it work? Who knows. I know there is still a lot wrong with it, but in some spots it is starting to go right.
Have a great rest of your day:)

TGIF Friends!
I don't have to be back at "work", aka "the buck", until Tuesday! I am so excited to have that many days in a row to work on my paintings!
Here are a couple snaps of the paintings I am working on. The first one I drafted, woodburned, and did the first pass on last night. The second, you have seen before….I am slowly working on it. It is slowly getting done. But I plan on putting on my productive pants this weekend and making serious progress. I even updated my ipod with new music to get that motivation flowing:)
Well there you go! I gotta run. Have a wonderful weekend and I will be back Monday:)
And Happy Birthday Dad! (it's his birthday tomorrow…so I am making Key Lime Pie)

|Nurses' perceptions of a mental health education programme for Australian nurses.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21385295 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|In the present study, we present qualitative findings of study of nurses' perceptions of a mental health education programme for Australian nurses. Many nurses avoid disclosing their mental health problem/illness because of the stigmatization by health workers. Mental health education is a successful means to address workplace stigma; thus, it can be anticipated that such education can address workplace difficulties experienced by nurses with mental health problems. During 2008, a qualitative study was conducted to obtain nurses' perceptions of a short mental health education programme for nurses. The workshop purpose was to improve mental health literacy in order to improve support to colleagues with mental health problems. Semistructured, audio-taped interviews were conducted with 13 nurses and then transcribed. A framework analysis approach guided interpretation of the data. The education programme had limited effect on the participants' attitudes towards colleagues with mental health problems. This was likely due to their high level of mental health literacy and experiences prior to the workshop. Participants felt that a more focused nurse-specific programme might have been more efficacious. Implementing a nurse-specific education session is potentially an effective means to improve support to nurses who experience mental health problems.

Two men were charged with multiple felonies after trespassing on two Adams County properties to hunt Dec. 14.
Issaac Dugan Perkins, 31, of Orlando, Fla., was allegedly hunting white-tailed deer with Isaiah Mark Perkins, 30, of Fayetteville, on Hilltown Road in Franklin Township.
Issaac Perkins was hunting without a license and is a convicted felon prohibited from possessing firearms of any kind, Pennsylvania State Police said in a news release.
Isaiah Perkins, who had a hunting license, allegedly supplied Issaac Perkins with the firearm, according to the release.
Police found a semi-automatic pistol concealed in Isaiah Perkin's vehicle, the release stated. The 30-year-old had a suspended concealed weapon permit out of Florida and no permit in Pennsylvania, according to the release.
In addition, neither of the two men were wearing fluorescent orange as required by the Pennsylvania Game Code, police said in a news release.
Both men were charged with multiple felonies concerning firearms offenses, defiant trespass and other Pennsylvania Game Code charges.
They were arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Mark D. Beauchat and are awaiting preliminary hearings on their charges, according to the news release. Isaiah Perkins had a preliminary hearing scheduled on Dec. 24, according to online court documents.
No information was immediately available through online court records or the Magisterial District Judge's office regarding the status of the hearings.

Since the 18th century, when humans first began commercial hunting in the Antarctic's Southern Ocean, many species have been hunted/fished to near extinction due to commercial activities. Learn more about different species that were hunted/fished/caught in the Southern Ocean and Antarctic areas:
In 1980 CCAMLR (Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, entered into force in 1982) was formed to protect and monitor the exploitation of the Southern Ocean within a Convention Area, which applies to the marine living resources living there. The Convention Area is all of the waters bounded by the Antarctic continent to the south, and to the north by a line starting at 50°S, 50°W and then due east to 30°E, then due north to 45°S, then due east to 80°S, then south to 60°S then to 50°W and back to the beginning. Importantly, it also covers areas beyond the Antarctic Treaty's 60 degrees South zone.
The incidence of illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing has been a great cause for concern in the Convention Area. Some targeted species such as the Patagonian Toothfish (sometimes known as the Chilean Sea Bass) are currently being fished unsustainably and therefore, threatening the survival of the whole Southern Ocean ecosystem as well as undermining CCAMLR's conservation work.
What is being done to ensure the sustainable use of the Southern Ocean, especially in the Convention Area?
Although hunting for seals and whales began in the 18th century, large scale commercial fishing did not begin until the 1970s, beginning with distant water trawler fleets targeting nototheniids, laternfish and icefish.
Long lining fishing began in the mid-1980s to catch Pategonian Toothfish (also know as the Chilean sea bass) which resulted in the bycatch of bird species such as albatross and petrels which drowned when caught in the lines, a more detailed description of this can be found in section 4.2. Millions of tonnes of finfish have been taken out of the Southern Ocean as the fishing has followed a pattern. Once fishing of a species was discovered as viable, full-scale unsustainable exploitation began leading to a rapid decline of species then the commercial fishing switches to another species and the cycle starts again.
Learn more details about the Southern Ocean and the activities of CCAMLR:
CCAMLR (Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources) was set up in 1980 under the Antarctic Treaty to manage and protect the marine resources in the Southern Ocean. Conservation under the Convention does include the 'rational' use of the Southern Ocean. However by the end of the 1980s CCAMLR had banned fishing for most finfish species or put into place strict catch limits.
Learn more about the impacts of different methods of fishing
Fishing for krill began in the 1970s. There was concern at the time that the fishing of krill would negatively impact on the entire Antarctic marine ecosystem because krill is a major food source for many species of whale, seal, bird and fish species. Krill is used for animal feed, aquaculture feed, bait and food for humans. Krill catches peaked at more than 500,000 tonnes in 1981/2. After the Soviet fleet stopped operating in the early 1990s, the krill catch dropped dramatically. The current krill catch is slightly more than 100,000 tonnes a year.
Learn more about how the harvesting of krill can impact on the Antarctic marine ecosystem: link:
Over the last 10 years there has been a large increase in illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing in the convention area and nearby areas, although IUU has been completely eliminated around South Georgia. Some of the worst activity occurred near the South African Prince Edward Islands and Australia and France agreed to work together to tackle IUU fishing around their overseas territories in the Southern Ocean. Substantial catches of toothfish have been taken by longline fishing and more recently with gillnet fishing. The CCAMLR estimates of IUU fishing are far higher than the allowable (sustainable) catches agreed by CCAMLR. IUU fishing is considered to be fishing that is conducted illegally within the Convention Area or in a way that is against the conservation measures put in place to control and monitor catches.
IUU fishing of toothfish has raised cause for concern. The high level of IUU fishing has had a negative effect on toothfish stocks but has also seriously affected other species in the food web including sea bird populations putting the future sustainability of both groups into question.
The aims of CCAMLR are to:
CCAMLR manages the Southern Ocean using two approaches. The first is a 'precautionary approach' where CCAMLR collects all the data it can, then weighs up the uncertainties and gaps in the data and then makes a decision. This prevents delays in decision making that could allow unsustainable practices to continue causing long term impacts on marine life.
CCAMLR also uses an 'ecosystems approach' which considers all the natural relationships between organisms and their environment. This approach regulates fishing on certain species but also aims to ensure that fishing does not impact on other species related to the target species.
CCAMLR has introduced a number of conservation methods to try and monitor and preserve fish stocks. Here are some of the main methods used:

To learn more about conservation in the Southern Ocean click here:
There is a census of Antarctic marine life:
This task is designed to analyse the relationship between the numbers of IUU caught toothfish and time. From this you may be able to infer whether the management of the Southern Ocean has been a success.
1. Open data for IUU toothfish in Excel.
2. Decide on an appropriate hypothesis and null hypothesis for this data.
3. Decide on and create an appropriate graph to display this data. Justify your choice of graph.
4. Conduct a statistical analysis to show the relationship between the years and the quantity of IUU toothfish caught using Pearson's correlation test or Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient.
5. Using your statistical analysis data, suggest reasons for the relationship between the amount of IUU toothfish caught and the years.
6. Suggest other factors which may also influence the trend in this data.
7. Give reasons why these ICT techniques (in question 4) are effective in geography.

What It Is
WAFF and Court TV collaborated to produce "Empowering Children in the Aftermath of Hate" in 2002, a 30-minute special that won two Beacon Awards as part of Court TV's public service program Choices and Consequences, making 8 million significant impressions. The program targeted a broad range of students in more than 60,000 elementary and middle schools nationwide, and sought to reinforce values of acceptance and diversity, as well as address a number of social topics including stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination and scapegoating.
WAFF Founder, Nile Rodgers, hosted a portion of the special, which also included the Foundation's children's music video We Are Family: A Musical Message for All. And in a special introduction, Former First Lady Laura Bush discussed the importance of talking with children about acceptance, particularly in the aftermath of 9/11. The program also included a written teacher's guide, with a chapter on the theme of "we are family." The series was additionally produced in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League, Cable in the Classroom, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, National Middle School Association and the National PTA.
"Empowering Children in the Aftermath of Hate" premiered on Court TV October 4, 2002 and aired every Saturday that month.
