Becoming a caregiver to a parent or loved one comes with many new responsibilities. As caregivers, you're the primary person responsible for the health and well-being of your loved one, which may include everything from feeding, medicating, bathing, and providing companionship and emotional support.
There are also important legal and financial responsibilities you'll assume as a caregiver. You may be appointed the power of attorney or trustee over assets, accounts, and trusts, and may be named executor of the will or beneficiary of life insurance policies.
You'll also need to do some planning to make sure your loved one is protected. Insurance is a critical tool for caregivers. It can help protect the financial resources you need to provide your loved one's care, and can also help ensure that your loved one will be cared for in the event of your death.
In some caregiving situations, the parent or loved one receiving the care has their social security and retirement fund payments turned over to the caregiver. While this supplemental income can be a big help, you should still consider protecting the regular income you or your spouse or partner brings in. By adding disability insurance coverage to your financial plan, you can make sure that some portion of your normal income is retained if you or your spouse becomes disabled.
A Medigap policy on your loved one can help bridge the gap between the cost of medical care and the payments Medicare makes. This relieves some of the financial burden, although it will require payment of premiums.
Life Insurance on the caregiver is a critical consideration. If something happened to you, who would be in a position to assume the caregiver role? When determining how much life insurance to buy, ask yourself:
The answers to these questions will help you and your life insurance representative determine the right amount of insurance death benefit to cover any remaining caregiver responsibilities, while still providing a benefit for your spouse and children.

Two Columbus East High School students were sure their guardian angels were with them Thursday afternoon as they walked into the conference room.
Seth Frownfelter and Madel Presto were surprised with good news: They had been selected as recipients of the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship by Heritage Fund — the Community Foundation of Bartholomew County.
The two were chosen from 74 Bartholomew County applicants to receive full tuition for four years at the Indiana college of their choice, with a $900 annual stipend for required books and equipment.
Frownfelter plans to attend Indiana University or Butler University to study law or business, and Presto will attend the University of Evansville to pursue a career as a music therapist.
If Frownfelter attends Butler, where tuition is $34,750 per year effective this fall, the value of the scholarship will be worth at least $142,000. If he attends Indiana, where tuition is $10,208 per year, it will be worth at least $44,000.
At Evansville, where tuition is $31,776 a year this fall, the scholarship would be worth at least $130,000 for Presto.
Students are responsible for their own housing costs.
Both were at a loss for words as about 20 officials and associates of Heritage Fund, teachers and guidance counselors surrounded them with applause and praise.
Frownfelter's parents, Tammy and Rob Frownfelter, and Presto's mother, Jannette Presto, were also in attendance — and they were just as overwhelmed with emotion.
Tammy Frownfelter said the news is particularly welcome as her son's grandfather died just four weeks ago.
"He believed in this boy more than anything," she said. "He already knew he got it."
Presto also faced a tough loss in 2010.
"I know your dad is watching over you," Jannette Presto told her.
There were tears after that — but mostly ones of joy. Their hard work had paid off.
"They are two very deserving students," Principal Mark Newell said. "They're the type of student where you want to see what they accomplish in the future."
Both have extensive records of community involvement, extracurricular activities and displays of leadership. They are both active in Big Brothers Big Sisters and are part of the National Honor Society.
While Presto found her calling in the Acalympians, the high school's a cappella group, Frownfelter excelled in football and swimming.
"These two stuck out," said Matt Kirr, a member of the selection committee. "It was not a hard decision for us."
Frownfelter said he takes pride in a solid work ethic and determination.
"I am a goal-setter and will do what it takes to reach my dreams," he said.
Presto said her ability to balance responsibilities is a key trait.
"I put 110 percent of my effort into everything I do," she said. "Whenever I am overwhelmed, I am able to overcome those stressed feelings by using my positivity and self-encouragement to keep going."
This opportunity will keep her — and Frownfelter — going for years.
"I thought it would be easy to describe, but there are really no words," Presto said.

Breckenridge joins Missouri Supreme Court
Tuesday, October 2, 2007
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Judge Patricia Breckenridge questioned attorneys frequently and assertively Tuesday as she heard her first arguments as the newest member of the Missouri Supreme Court.
First up on the docket for Breckenridge and her six other colleagues was an appeal from a man sentenced to 100 years in prison for raping a stepdaughter. Defense attorneys claim they were wrongly forbidden by a St. Louis judge from arguing to jurors that the offense may not have occurred in the city, but rather in the county.
Just a couple of minutes into the arguments, Breckenridge questioned defense attorney Robert Lundt on whether he had sought to transfer the case to the county.
She later peppered Lundt with a series of questions about whether he was arguing that prosecutors had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the rape occurred in St. Louis city -- as opposed to elsewhere -- as part of their burden for getting a conviction.
When Lundt said that was his argument, Breckenridge noted in follow-up questions that previous cases have determined that venue -- or the location -- of an offense is not an element of the crime that must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt to jurors, even if it is mentioned in the jury instructions.
Other members of the Supreme Court, including Chief Justice Laura Denvir Stith, made similar observations when questioning the defense attorney.
Breckenridge essentially got the last word in the arguments, when she summarized that Lundt was claiming the Missouri Constitution requires proof of venue of a crime for a conviction, even if that's not been the practice in courts previously. Lundt concurred that's what he was arguing.
The case involves an appeal by Leonard Taylor, who was convicted of felony forcible rape and sentenced March 10, 2006, by St. Louis Circuit Judge Michael David. The rape occurred in July 2000 in a vehicle in the parking lot of an abandoned store, though the victim did not tell police about it until December 2004, according to court documents.
Police drove around the city and county with the victim, asking her to try to identify the location where the incident occurred. At trial, the victim did not identify a specific place but testified that the rape did occur in the city.
Case is State of Missouri v. Leonard Taylor, SC88426.

The man who set himself on fire in the middle of Red Square at the University of Washington this afternoon has since died at Harborview Medical Center, said Susan Gregg-Hanson, a spokesperson for the center. He was a former UW employee, according to an e-mail sent to campus by Eric Godfrey, the UW's Vice Provost for Student Life.
The incident occurred at approximately 1:02 p.m. this afternoon, said UWPD Assistant Chief Ralph Robinson. From all indications, Robinson said, this appeared to be a purposeful and individual act. The victim, in his 60s, was taken to Harborview Medical Center with second- and third-degree burns, soon after he allegedly poured gasoline over himself and set himself aflame.
Kaye Kovacs, a graduate student who witnessed the fire from Odegaard Library, said bystanders attempted to put it out, but the man appeared undeterred.
She had looked out of a window on the third floor after hearing screams.
"There was a person on fire," she said. "He was just standing there." She thought that there was a can of gasoline in his backpack, which bystanders pulled off while attempting to put out the flames. It was left burning on the ground. "The fire got really big, really fast," Kovacs said. "It was bizarre."
The motive behind the self-immolation is still under investigation, Robinson said.

There's no question about the importance of drums and percussion in music. If you're playing energetic songs for a live audience, it's the rhythm that'll get them moving and the drums have to create that rhythm. Even in more subtle, softer genres and styles, the right application of percussion sounds and effects goes an incredibly long way to setting mood and atmosphere. This isn't just the oldest instrument family on the stage: it just might be the most crucial one as well. Some of our top brands in this category are: Zildjian, Paiste, Meinl Percussion, Pearl, Remo,
For the lion's share of rock and pop music, you're looking at a classic drum set: tom-toms, snares, bass and cymbals. You'll find a huge selection of these staple instruments here, in as many varieties as you could name. If you're just starting out with the drums, take a look at shell packs and drum sets to get up and running in a hurry. On the other hand, if you're a veteran drummer, chances are that you'd prefer to pick and choose your instruments individually. For the adventurous among us, there are electronic drum sets, which open up the unlimited potential of customized samples. Whatever you want to do to distinguish yourself from other drummers, this is where you can find the instruments to get there.
One of the best things about percussion is that there are no real boundaries. With talent and a knack for making rhythms, you can integrate virtually anything into a melody. It's that sort of ingenuity that gave rise to a lot of the handheld and world percussion available here. Take the cajon for example; this drum is descended from simple shipping crates but it's now become a precision instrument with tons of potential and character.
It's a fact that standard drum sets and cymbals are only scratching the surface of what percussion can do. In this section, it's easy to see just how deep your potential is as a drummer with plenty of the usual suspects as well as a ton of more exotic instruments and accessories. If you're ready to bring the rhythms and beats to the stage, you've got thousands of ways right here to make it happen
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

Civilian leaves legacy of dedication, compassion
February 4, 2010
By CRYSTAL LEWIS BROWN, Fort Jackson Leader
Story Highlights
- Retired Army Maj. Donald Martin died Jan. 30 after a lengthy illness.
- The 24-year veteran started his work at Fort Jackson's DOIM before leaving to work as a contractor on post.
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- To his co-workers at the Network Enterprise Center (then the Directorate of Information Management), Donald Martin was known as a hardcore Tennessee Volunteers fan. His car was easily recognizable - it sported a Tennessee vanity plate on the front - and he routinely wore his school's color, orange.
Saturday, Martin's family and friends will pay homage to his passion - and to him - by wearing his trademark orange during a 1 p.m. memorial ceremony at Kornegay & Moseley Funeral Home and Cremation Service.
The former Army major and DA civilian died Jan. 30 after a lengthy illness.
Martin, a native of Fort Benning, Ga., enlisted in the Army in 1972 and attained the rank of staff sergeant. He then attended the University of Tennessee, where he received his commission as a second lieutenant. He retired after 24 years of service and worked for the S.C. Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services for five years.
Martin then moved on to Fort Jackson, where he worked six years at DOIM. He attained the position of information assurance manager before leaving the position to work as a contractor on post.
What co-workers remember most about Martin, besides his love for sports, was his dedication to his job.
"He worked hard, he put in his 12-hour days, sometimes 13," said Rene Muniz, chief of the Information Assurance Division.
Muniz said when he first came to DOIM in 2007, Martin was stepping into his new role as information assurance manager, a position that put him in charge of managing all aspects of the installation's network security program. He was also responsible for developing and managing command IA policy and guidance.
"He was basically the leader in protecting the entire Fort Jackson network," Muniz said. "He was the go-to person."
Jesus RosaVelez, NEC director, agreed.
"We're going to miss Don for his professionalism, absolute dedication and spot-on counsel. He led the charge for the security of the Fort Jackson information technology infrastructure and, as a result of his ingenuity, the installation today is postured to support the Army's network goal of protect and defend," RosaVelez said. "He was definitely a catalyst -- he ensured that we were in the right direction where cyber security is concerned."
Martin will also be rememberedby his co-workers as a sociable person.
"He was a good co-worker, and at one time, he was my boss," said Harold Ruth, who worked with Martin for six years at DOIM. "He was a great, great person. He was always looking out for everybody; he was always good to everybody."
Muniz said, "He was just a very good guy who left too soon."
Martin is survived by his wife, Erin Darlene, a son, a daughter and four grandchildren.
Those attending the memorial service are asked to wear bright colors, specifically, orange.
Donations are being accepted in lieu of flowers and may be made to: The Masonic Home for Children at Oxford, 600 College Street, Oxford, NC, 27565.

I am 12 weeks 4 days today and still throwing up. Shouldnt the nausea and MS start easing off now?
Or, am I going to be one of the women who have MS right through pregnancy.
Today was a new personal low- not only did I puke on myself after I had gotten ready to leave for work, I managed to pee on myself too while throwing up. Finally gave up and decided to call in sick.
I want to sock the next person who tells me that I should enjoy this beautiful period of my life.
I feel miserable.

No Place to Hide:: Effects of Climate Change on Protected Areas
Date: July 2003
Creator: Ervin, Jamison
Description: This paper considers the potential impacts of climate change on protected areas (PAs) and actions that can be taken to mitigate them. Recent research suggests that the types of environmental changes predicted in climatic models are now taking place. Studies of many animals and plants that show significant alterations in range or behaviour find that the most consistent explanation for these is climate change. These impacts may necessitate a fundamental rethinking in the approach to protection. Protected areas are rooted in the concept of permanence: protection works best as a conservation tool if the area remains protected for the foreseeable future. But under climate change, species for which a particular protected area was established may no longer survive there. Some protected areas - for instance in coastal, arctic and mountain regions - may disappear altogether in their current form.

Soldiers Compete For Elite Medical Badge
May 22, 2008
By Minnie Jones
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- Soldiers from around the world came together for two weeks in May at Camp Bullis to compete for the coveted Expert Field Medical Badge and prove to their comrades that they are the "best of the best."
The EFMB competition is a realistic test that emulates what Army medics are required to do under combat conditions. Soldiers who attain this badge can truly call themselves experts because they have met the standards and challenges that were brought before them.
More than 170 candidates participated in this year's event with more than 154 personnel in various supporting roles to sustain the EMFB competition.
"Seventy-one individuals are from Fort Sam Houston running the three combat testing lanes, and we also have 83 Soldiers awaiting training who are being utilized as squad leaders, team leaders and patients," said Capt. Werner Barden, training support commander at Camp Bullis.
The competition has a very high attrition rate for any combination of reasons - the Texas heat and climate, the practical application of the knowledge, and the physical stamina required, said Barden.
Open to all field medical personnel, the first week of the two-week competition is the evaluation phase, where instructors review testing standards with the Soldiers preparing them for the next phase of the competition.
During the second week, which is the testing phase, Soldiers begin the competition by maneuvering three combat medical lanes that cover tactical combat casualty care, medical and casualty evacuation, communications, warrior skills, day and night land navigation and a written test. The week culminates with a 12-mile road march.
Pvt. Hans Wittenberg, a combat medic assigned to the 5th Squadron, 15th Cavalry, Fort Knox, Ky., did not pass the competition, but said he wants to come back again, "I've wanted this for a while, ever since I was in Advanced Individual Training. Next time I'll know what to expect; I'll be more mentally prepared. I need to brush up on the non-medical stuff. Hopefully, next time I will be better prepared."
Competitors were subject to all warfare conditions that an Army medic may encounter while in combat. In the weeklong practical test, Soldiers were surrounded by explosions and small-arms fire. Testing their nuclear, biological and chemical readiness, billows of colored smoke engulfed Soldiers out in the field, who then had to demonstrate their proficiency and skill while under a chemical attack.
Soldiers had to work their way through the wooded and hilly terrain of Camp Bullis, avoiding attacks and navigating their way through the woods both day and night, stopping to assist and assess the wounded. The care of the wounded comes first. Soldiers had to demonstrate one and two-person carries and drags, and litter carries.
The night before the grand finale some candidates had to retake the 100-question written test that covered both medical and warrior skills that are performed during deployments. Candidates must receive a score of 75 to pass.
The EFMB competition culminated with an exhausting 12-mile road march where Soldiers had to carry an M-16 rifle and a backpack filled with equipment. The road march has to be finished within a three-hour time limit.
On the last day of the competition, 35 of the original 176 candidates successfully completed this year's competition.
Staff Sgt. Cedric Griggs, a combat medic instructor/writer assigned to G Company, 232 Medical Battalion here, earned the badge as well as the title of Distinguished Honor Graduate.
"I thought the competition was very challenging," Griggs said. "To be able to complete the tasks without any 'no-gos' was a surprising achievement for me. But if it wasn't for my battle buddies in my tent helping me study, I don't think I could have achieved such an honor."
Second Lt. Stephen Krutko, a 70B health services administration officer from the 21st Combat Support Hospital, Fort Hood, Texas, was the first Soldier over the finish line, completing the road march in 2 hours, 24 minutes, 14 seconds. "The badge sets the standard of excellence," he said. "For me personally as a lieutenant, it gives me a lot of credibility with my Soldiers. I know what they have to go through and what they have to overcome."
Col. John Cook, commander, 32nd Medical Brigade, congratulated the graduates during the EFMB's closing ceremony.
He also took the time to recognize those Soldiers who did not pass the competition. "I want to take just a moment to recognize not only those individuals who are going to have the honor of having the EFMB put on their uniform, but I want to recognize every Soldier who decided to ruck up, have the moxie, and participate in trying to get a badge that was very, very difficult," said Cook. He asked the audience "to give those phenomenal Soldiers a round of applause."
"As you enjoy the well-earned fruits of your labor, I invite you to reflect on the powerful words of the great American, Charles Lindbergh, who said, 'Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds,'" said Cook.
"The hard work, dedication and commitment to excellence you demonstrated this week are the very foundation of our great AMEDD institution and you have every reason to be extremely proud of today's accomplishment," he added.
The EFMB was designed as a special skill award for recognition of exceptional competence and outstanding performance by field medical personnel. The Department of the Army approved it June 18, 1965, and since 1986, more than 96,000 personnel have competed for the badge.

'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Is the Perfect Remedy For the 'Transformers' BluesMike Ryan July 7, 2014 @ 10:23 AM
A movie like 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' exists only to make money. And it did make money -- a lot of money. And there are a lot of movies that fit into this supposed "blockbuster" (or, if at Blockbuster, the "box office buster") category. These movie don't have to be good. People just see them. That's why it is really notable when one of these movies is as good as 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' is.

The positive psychology movement is surely gaining momentum. In a recent discussion with two of my colleagues we joked that positive psychology's really about a type of recovery from negative thinking.
This got me wondering if a 12-step process might be worth identifying. So guess what…? I think it is.
Here is what I propose for the 12 steps of positive psychology.

By Joe Giesy
Gailor Blake, 88, opened the door to his Austintown home at 9 a.m. to welcome Terri Zarlingo with a bright smile.
"She's like family," Blake said, as Zarlingo, a driver for Celtic Healthcare's hot-meals delivery program, arrives.
Where to go
Several organizations in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties provide services for the Mahoning Valley's aging population. They include:
Area Agency on Aging 11 Inc.: 5555 Youngstown-Warren Road, Suite 2685, Niles; phone, 330-505-2300 or toll-free 800-686-7367.
Help Hotline Crisis Center Inc.: P.O. Box 46, Youngstown; phone: 330-747-2696, or dial 211.
Catholic Charities Regional Agency: 2401 Belmont Ave., Youngstown; phone, 330-744-3320.
Columbiana County Office on Aging: 785 E. State St., Salem; phone, 330-332-1163.
Mahoning County Senior Center: 1110 Fifth Ave., Youngstown, phone, 330-744-5071.
SCOPE Inc of Trumbull County: 220 W. Market St., Warren; phone, 330-399-8846.
Source: The Vindicator/Help Hotline Crisis Center
Once Zarlingo finishes her short, friendly discussion with Blake, she sets his meal out and leaves. She may be the last person Blake — one of the last survivors of his own family — sees that day unless neighbors visit.
Many independent-living seniors in the Mahoning Valley face similar situations: They live alone with no one to check on them but social workers or home-nurse aides.
Other senior citizens do not receive home-visit services at all.
Several organizations in Youngstown and Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties provide services for the area's aging population, but no overarching agency exists to centralize these services and standardize the well-being of the Mahoning Valley's independent senior citizens.
Youngstown Councilwoman Annie Gillam thinks the city could benefit from a central agency.
Gillam, D-1st, said accounting for every person in the city may not be possible, but getting involved with programs through churches and area agencies could prove beneficial to better inform elderly citizens about available services.
Older adults living alone with no one to check on them could be in danger, said Alan Bayowski, gerontologist and director of the Shepherd Foundation, an affiliate of Shepherd of the Valley, which provides senior services in the Valley.
Should a senior fall or become too ill to seek treatment, that person could be left alone for days or even weeks, he said.
Lisa Solley with the Area Agency on Aging 11 Inc., Niles, said most older citizens want to stay in their homes, but they need some assistance.
Her agency collects federal, state and local funds and then distributes them to local providers in Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning and Columbiana counties. Those providers then help those who qualify for services.
Solley said most people who request services might not qualify for funds, but the agency still tries to link them up with appropriate services. If no state funding is available, federal programs can sometimes be used, she said.
Ohio's citizens and service organizations face the challenge of no state funding for citizens above the poverty line.
Organizations such as Celtic Healthcare, 3530 Belmont Ave., provide food, home-health aides and transportation for qualifying adults over 60 through grants.
Other federal funds provide services such as air-conditioning units for households in need. Solley said this service was used by AAA11 clients more recently in the high-temperature conditions last month.
Extreme weather conditions exacerbate danger when ice on the drive between the door and mailbox causes the senior citizen to slip or high heat affects pre-existing medical conditions such as breathing problems or congestive heart failure.
Bayowski said even five minutes in the hot sun can have a real negative effect on older adults, which becomes a problem when they try to work outside.
"As we get older, our desire to remain active pushes us to do things our bodies are unable to do," Bayowski said.
Blake falls into this category.
He still manages his household chores and yard work. Despite seeing him for only short periods of time, Zarlingo was able to persuade him to leave his untrimmed hedges for another time and remain in his air-conditioned house during the recent summer heat wave.
Bayowski praised meal programs for this reason as vital to older adults who live alone because they provide both food and regular companionship.
Solley also spoke highly of the programs.
"For at least five days, you have someone checking on them," Solley said.
Along with Celtic Healthcare and other programs in the Valley, Meals on Wheels Youngstown has volunteers deliver meals to clients who request the service.
Laura Jenkins with Meals on Wheels Youngstown said delivery drivers call her if a client who normally answers the door does not do so or things near the house seem out of the ordinary.
Jenkins said there were some occasions when emergency services discovered the client on the floor, unable to get up or even dead.
Zarlingo once came to the aid of a client who had a stroke and collapsed during the meal delivery. Zarlingo was able to call 911, and the woman still lives on her own several years after the incident.
The Mahoning County Sheriff's Department provides a Senior Watch Program to identify households with independent-living senior citizens at risk of criminal victimization.
The Senior Services Unit identifies at-risk citizens through community outreach at public events senior citizens may attend. Like other agencies, the unit relies on referrals from community members.
Once a referral or request has been made, the unit contacts senior citizens in Mahoning County to determine their level of personal safety and then sends officers to visit them periodically and report suspicious activities.
For some communities, taking care of neighbors could be as simple as mowing the lawn or bringing in the newspaper.
Zarlingo takes it a step further, though, when she runs small errands for her clients that includes tracking down an extension cord for one man who could not plug in his air conditioner or a five-pound bag of sugar she would drop off for Blake when she made later deliveries back in Austintown.
The NewsOutlet, which pairs student journalists with professionals, is a collaboration between Youngstown State University, Kent State University, the University of Akron and The Vindicator, Akron Beacon Journal and Rubber City Radio.
So many of these programs are funded by tax dollars. They are all being cut. This is no way to treat our parents and their generation. But this is what the 'Tea Party' is all about. Slash, burn and keep more for ourselves. Let's just keep our eyes shut and keep these old folks behind closed doors. This problem will disappear as they die from lack of care and nutrition. It is a sign of how truly callous we are that people of that age can go days without any visit or anyone caring. I've seen these nutrition programs in action. They are a bargain. And a godsend. So of course they will be cut.
You need to go to a Tea Party and see for your self instead of spouting party line
I have from Oh. to Fl. and CA.
They are wrong .on almost all they send for.
Do not just listen to the talk on stage , listen to the talk in the crowd .
The author of this article fell short with his information. He is mistaken when saying "no overarching agency exists to centralize these services and standardize the well-being of the Mahoning Valley's independent senior citizens". Created by the Older Americans Act of 1965, Area Agencies on Aging respond to the needs of the elderly in the communities they serve. They are advocates, planners, funders and educators, as well as providers of information and referral services. Area agencies work with public and private partners to respond to the unique needs of older citizens and families in their areas.
Ohio has twelve area agencies, each serving a multi-county planning and service area. Agencies create local plans based on the population and resources in their communities.
Seniors prefer to stay at home and programs exist to help them with that goal. Funding exists on a variety of levels, federal, state and local. At this time Trumbull County has a senior service levy that funds a multitude of services for seniors at home. Mahoning County will have a similar levy on the ballot next Spring.
Yes more funding is needed, but to attack the well being of independent seniors is inappropriate. We need to work with our local Area Agency on Aging to coordinate the best services for our independent seniors. We need to assist our seniors to stay at home where they desire and live with dignity.
More negative comments as usual. We will all be old at some point. Remember that!
I hope your elderly parents and/or relatives die alone, starving and laying in their own excrement. Maybe you can change it to "uncaringdrone"

Worldwide ATM Community Gathers In Amsterdam For ATC Global 2013
LONDON, March 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week Air Traffic Management (ATM) professionals and stakeholders from 107 countries descended upon Amsterdam for the 23 rd ATC Global event. Across the three days, ATC Global 2013 proved to be the place for participants to conduct business and address the universal issues affecting the ATM community.To view the Multimedia News Release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/60625-ATM-community-meets-for-ATC-global-2013 The truly global representation, with participants present from each continent in attendance, allowed for frank discussions around developing new safer, fuel-efficient and cost-effective aircraft operations to take place whilst innovative solutions on tackling global issues were shared. At the ATC Global 2013 conference, speakers painted very different views of the achievements and challenges facing air navigation services providers around the world. Some of the highlights included Mukesh Chand Dangi, General Manager (ATM) Airports Authority of India, who gave details of the Indian Ocean Strategic Partnership to Reduce Emissions (INSPIRE) programme where direct city-pair flights have operated with an average fuel saving per flight (per sector) of 212 kg for the last year or so. Juan Ayón Alfonso, air navigation sub-director at IACC (Instituto de Aeronáutica Civil de Cuba), the Cuban ANSP, spoke of plans to acquire new systems to satisfy the implementation of CAR/SAM ANP and Mauricio Boekhoudt, Strategic Advisor for Aruba Airport Authority, spoke of the work to introduce ASBU Block 0 in the region - implementation of PBN and air traffic services inter-facility data communication (AIDC). The supplier community was also out in force with more than 150 exhibitors from 28 countries represented including Thales, NITA, WIDE, Northrop Grumman, Intelcan, Azimut, Leosphere, Vaisala, Moog Fernau, Barco, Guntermann & Drunck, Era A.S, Comsoft, Korea Airports Corp., Tern Systems, Rohde & Schwarz, Nanjing LES Information Technology, Nanjing NRIET, VNIIRA and many others. One of the largest delegations to attend ATC Global this year was from China, with over 70 senior ATM professionals from the CAAC ATMB, the Hong Kong CAD and all regional Chinese ATM Bureaus present. Mr. Zhao Fan, Director at the Technical Center CAAC ATMB, commented after his second ATC Global visit, "It has been extremely important for us to attend ATC Global to engage with other ATM professionals from across the world, meet with technology suppliers and participate in key discussions on the future of the industry and the part China will play over the next few years." In addition, for the 3 rd year ATC Global ran its Hosted Buyer Programme that proactively sources international buyers who are actively procuring ATM technologies and solutions. Participants this year hailed from ANSPs and Civil Aviation Authorities from more than 17 countries including Myanmar, Colombia, COCESNA, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Vietnam, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Algeria, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Nepal, Cuba, Bolivia, Egypt, Rwanda alongside a host of European countries. "I really appreciate the opportunity I was given to participate in the ATC Global 2013, this was a unique chance for us to get closer to the manufacturers and obtain information that is vital for the development of our countries. The organization of the whole event was impeccable and I would like to congratulate the team on a job well done," Oscar Gutierrez Urresti from SABSA, who this year took part in the ATC Global Hosted Buyer Programme, commented. For 23 years ATC Global has been the premium meeting place for the entire ATM community, bringing together the full supply chain and helping to form new business partnerships between buyers and sellers. ATC Global 2013 once again confirmed the annual event as the global place to do business.

Last Week in the Mail One Man Wrote about the Emotional Trials of Being a Weekend Dad. Here, with Complete Candour, Ulrika Jonsson Who Has Four Children by Four Men Gives the Other Side of the Story; Jonsson Clan: Bo, Ulrika with Malcolm, Husband Brian, Martha and Cameron, Whose Face Is Obscured at the Request of His Father
Byline: Ulrika Jonsson
AS THE twice-divorced mother of four children by four fathers, you could be forgiven for imagining that my house is like Euston station in the rush hour when my exes arrive at pick-up time on visiting weekends.
Contrary to expectations, however, there isn't a plethora of fathers searching through a sea of children, a confusion of weekend bags and a cluster of timetables.
I live with my third husband, who is the father of four-month-old Malcolm, but I also deal with two 'weekend dads'.
The first is John, my first husband and father of my 14-year old son, Cameron. And the other is four-year-old Martha's father, Lance, who is also called 'Dad' by eight-year-old Bo her biological father disappeared into the sunset when she was only two weeks old.
After my first two children were born, I joked to a friend that I might consider colour-coding the children and their fathers for ease of management, but then along came numbers three and four, both by different partners, and any sense of humour quickly left me.
Nevertheless, the complexity of arrangements is not as baffling as you might expect. It really is fairly straightforward, bar the odd hiccup when there is a clash of plans and dates.
Somehow, even these have been ironed out as my extended family moves forward, taking everyone into consideration, while putting the welfare of the children first.
But if I make it sound easy, the truth is that it's taken years to get to this set-up and I also know how fortunate I am to have reached this state of affairs. For many separated couples, the whole wretched business of dealing with their exes spills over into the dealings about their children, who, like little sponges, absorb every bitter intonation and acrimonious whisper.
Last-minute changes of plans and late pickups and drop-offs all contribute towards a feeling of hostility.
Last week, in this newspaper, writer William Leith wrote a heart-breaking account of his experiences as a weekend dad to his three-yearold son Billy.
His words knocked me sideways and reduced me to tears, partly because it's so rare to hear a father expressing himself like that more often than not the focus is, predictably, on the mother and partly because it confirmed to me the emotional trauma many semi-detached dads must live through on a daily basis.
As a mother at the extreme end of the maternal spectrum, I cannot for a nano-second imagine not living with my children. And it couldn't have been further from my intentions to end up in this heart-rending situation where my children's fathers live apart from them.
But sadly, divorce is a horrendous fact of life.
No one gains from it. No one walks away with a sense of achievement. When there are children involved there are far-reaching complexities which have the potential to break even the hardiest of human beings.
So, how should we manage divorce when it is still virtually impossible to establish any form of equality between the lengths of time separated parents spend with their children? My children all have 'residency' with me.
There is no such thing as 'custody' any more.
Residency, I suppose, is a far less emotive and divisive word.
In my homeland of Sweden, the rules are somewhat different. My sister has a stepchild who lives one week with her and her husband and the next with the child's mother. I think this is as disruptive for the child as it is egalitarian for the parents.
And so, along with my exes, I have had to make the best of the situation I find myself in.
Through the years of raw heartbreak and bitter disappointment, I have made a clear and conscious effort to keep my emotions for my former partners in a separate compartment to the arrangements and dealings we've been forced to endure concerning the children.
Of course, there have been times when I've been forced to bite my lip and hold my tongue, when my frustration and anxiety have almost got the better of me. …

LCD Soundsystem at Roy Wilkins, 10/23/10
LCD Soundsystem
October 23, 2010
Roy Wilkins Auditorium, St. Paul
With 10cc's oddly creepy art/soft rock hit "I'm Not In Love" serving as the intro to the set, there was electricity in the air, something not often found in the cavernous confines of Roy Wilkins Auditorium regardless of who might be playing. LCD Soundsystem, as we were about to find out, however, were full of surprises Saturday night, not the least of which was making that song sound oddly appealing.
With a dozen or more balloons bouncing back and forth across the crowd, the band slowly assembled onstage and started with "Dance Yrself Clean." As lead singer/LCD head honcho James Murphy appeared onstage dressed unassumingly (for once) in khaki pants and a dress shirt, the crowd went absolutely ballistic. The song slowly built and as it did, the crowd's energy did as well -- and when the song exploded full tilt with a flash from the stage lights, so did the crowd. LCD Soundsystem were off and running.
LCD Soundsystem has albums full of great, slightly poppy dance songs, but Murphy's greatest trick seems to be the presentation of these songs live. Many of them clock in at six minutes or more, and for the most part they seem like they could -- or should -- be longer. The floor was a roiling mass of bodies for the duration of the set, and the show had the general atmosphere of the coolest party you have ever been to. Even the slightly silly songs in LCD's repertoire -- "Drunk Girls" in particular -- sounded transcendent on Saturday, which was quite a feat given the whipping that song has taken by critics and fans alike.
Murphy's voice is reminiscent of Ian Curtis fronting a Euro-dance band and for a long time this didn't translate well to stage, but maybe it was because he was trying to hard to make LCD Soundsystem something it wasn't. The lyrics don't say much in the way of addressing anything deep or extraordinarily insightful and there is always some sort of backlash or sniping about how dance-type bands aren't important, but record sales (yes, they're not everything, but they are something) and the incredible energy radiating from this crowd would lead most to believe that none of that matters. Electro bands' lyrics have never needed to mean anything; that was never the point in the first place. Compared to others of his ilk (Underworld, for instance, whose nonsensical lyrics are inexplicably hailed as "stream-of-conciousness genius"), Murphy at least seems to be thinking about things a little bit.
By the end of the set, however, it was plainly obvious that Murphy figured out what the strongest points of LCD Soundsystem are and turned the volume way up on those elements for the live show. He's not Neil Young but he has no reason to be. The band isn't overly serious, but nobody has to be convinced that they matter -- they do. As they closed the nearly two-hour set with their first single, "Losing My Edge," and "Home," it seemed as though not even an hour had passed. James Murphy and company brought the best party of the year, and it was two hours of non-stop, unbridled fun.
Critic's Bias: I had heard bad things about LCD Soundsystem's live show and as much as I tried to not carry them with me Saturday, I did, though in the end it didn't matter.
The Crowd: So many guys in skinny jeans...
Overheard In The Crowd: "What part of England are these guys from again?" "No, no, they're from New York." "Oh, really?"
Random Notebook Dump: [I] Don't care what the rest of set is like, "Dance Yrself Clean" is the best live song I've seen this year.

"Changsha" Top 5 Page for this destination Changsha by mke1963
Changsha Travel Guide: 82 reviews and 320 photos
For two thousand years, Changsha has watched the Frangrant River river sweep by, watching as the clumps of grass and swamped branches pass by the ancient capital of the Chu kingdom on the wide plains south of the lake, Hu nan. Today's Hunan hides its past well, and like so many cities has yet to decide where its future lies. This is a bumpy landscape, small hills hang on to squat houses, and in between the deep red patches of soil push the rice up seemingly for ever. Pastoral China lies all around Changsha, and Changsha serves the whole basin south of that lake, the Dongting Hu. Few other big cities are near Changsha, and given the city's riotous and garrolous reputation, it is probably just as well. There's only room for one Changsha.
This city of 2 million people takes its power and its muscle right to the very edge; the city has no real suburbs. One second you are in heaving busy streets, choked with bicycles and earnest Hunanese, the next you are in deep countryside. Blink and you miss the border. Bounded by rivers to the west, north and much of the east, Changsha must have once been a natural spot to build a safe refuge. It's easier to fortify just one side of your city than all four. Yet this likeable city has never grown up to become a true Chinese powerhouse, and it sits in the hinterlands, permanently behind Wuhan, Nanjing, and Guangzhou and the Xiangjiang never held the promises of mysterious kingdoms and treasures beyond, as did the mighty Yangtze to the north. So Changsha grew up on its own, as warring armied fought endlessly for territory along that bigger river and for the Yangtze ports.
Changsha and indeed much of Hunan became a backwater, left to its own devices and to infighting and inbreeding warlords and landlords. It became a magnet for the peasants and serfs of the big wide, clumpy Hunan badlands, where tempers are as fiery as the ubiquitous chillis found in every dish, morning, noon and night. Changsha was a natural attraction for one particular peasant, a man increasingly troubled by the oppression and servitude of people, friends and family in his native Shaoshan, just 90km away from Changsha. The young Mao Zedong came to Changsha to be trained as a teacher, but found the going hard with the authorities constantly on the lookout for the despised Communists. Mao was never a city person, and seemingly spent much of his time in the parks, forests and other isolated spots in and around the city; but even in those days, 'isolated' was probably a relative term. Throughout much of his life, China's "Great Helmsman" headed for the trees, the fields or the waters rather than the buildings and urban China. Today's downtrodden and poor farmers remain the successors to those Mao observed at Shaoshan and Changsha, almost one hundred years ago. Looking at the area and his people today, Mao must be turning in his vat of formaldehyde.
Changsha was a treaty port, though one of the lesser ones, and European, Japanese and Russian emigres and businessmen set up busines and home here. It can never have been a luxurious affair, but the views from the long, narrow sandbank island in the Xiangjiang were to die for. Many of them did when the local people rioted in protest at the massive grain price increases: only the Chinese ever learnt the maxim "don't raise the price of rice". Some decades later, the city grew into a Communist stronghold, although this is unlikely to have been due to Mao's influence. He was perpetually fixated on the peasants and rural people. Heavily bombed in 1938, by the Kuomintang, much of old Changsha has vanished for ever.
Today's city is a nice mix of cluttered structure, weaving roads and mad rushes of people, cars and bicycles. Changsha has escaped the excesses of the 1990s urban planners' love-affair with massive boulevards and remains a higgledy-piggledy, chaotic place. In the context, the mix of awful buildings from all post-war eras forms some form of harmonious organism, although individually many buildings are hideous. In Changsha, this ugliness of structures somehow blends into an attractive whole, with every street tree-lined.
On a grim, steel-grey March day, Changsha cannot, surely, be at its best, but it still welcomed me, but at the same time kept me away from its secrets. Changsha is a city for the Hunanese and any passing tourists are accepted as any other visitor during the last two thousand years, couretosuly but from a definite distance.
Forget what it says in almost every guidebook: Changsha is worth a few days. Although there are a handful of museums, a bunch of parks and open spaces, the odd temple and some riverside walks, head into the urban jungle to look for a charismatic, argumentative, laughing city that feels 'just right'. It isn't aping western society like some cities in central China, it's not going to attract Microsoft's headquarters, it's doesn't have the Terracotta Warriors, but it does have charm, energy and a sense of purpose. That purpose is simply to serve Hunan, and for that it does its job well. Give Changsha a shot: find a city that is southern Chinese but not southern Chinese, of the Yangtze but not of the Yangtze, eastern China but not eastern China. A place to feel a real China that is so difficult to find in the 21st Century.
Information on the Mawangdui Treasures are on the Mawangdui page as well as the review of the Hunan Provincial Museum
- Pros:Harmonious, proud city with human character
- Cons:Little information avaialable in English
- In a nutshell:The urban heart of rural Hunan and the Mawangdui treasures!

Last week, a Rasmussen poll showed Democratic incumbent Sen. Patty Murray trailing Republican challenger Dino Rossi by a single percentage point. At the time, some dismissed the results as inaccurate because most other polls showed Murray ahead--some even by double digits. Plus, the Rasmussen firm has a reputation among Democrats as favoring conservative candidates. But now, a new SurveyUSA/KING 5 poll released on Friday seems to confirm Rasmussen's assertions, showing the candidates tied at 47 percent each.
Rossi, meanwhile, has taken a commanding lead among independents and men.
Geographically, Murray does best in the Puget Sound area, while Rossi is more popular in eastern and rural Washington.
Whatever the case, that's two polls now that show Rossi surging and Murray sputtering.
And with the New York Times recently calling Washington "the new Florida" in terms of importance for GOP chances of taking control of the Senate, a close election--especially one that requires a recount--may come down to which candidate can hire the best lawyers.
KING 5's got the report.

Marcella D. Volpintesta Watch a slideshow of The Flaming Lips' Sept. 20, 2007 set at The Paramount Theater. Do you want to see this man
Marcella D. VolpintestaWatch a slideshow of The Flaming Lips' Sept. 20, 2007 set at The Paramount Theater.Do you want to see this man perform live? If so, you've got a chance to catch Wayne Coyne and the Flaming Lips performing locally as it was just announced an hour ago that they'll be at Marymoor Park on August 21st. The announcement is so fresh that it's not even up on the Lips' website yet. When they come to town, they'll have Stardeath and White Dwarfs opening up for them. Go check out that band's MySpace when you get a sec if you're not already hip... no joke.
Anyway, tickets for the Flaming Lips go on sale this Saturday, June 20, at all Ticketmaster locations and are starting at $37.50. That's not a bad price but it includes what's below as well.
Tickets: $37.50, not including applicable fees. In addition, there will be a $4.00 digital bundle on all tickets purchased online, which includes the following: 3 brand new, unreleased songs from the upcoming album. 3 B-Sides hand picked by Wayne Coyne. Live audio recording of the show they attend.
With all of that, fans of the Flaming Lips should jump on this right away. I'm glad to see the Lips offering fans more goodies and sort of personalizing the tour. And it looks like Reverb is going to have some tickets to give away for this show so keep checking in with us.

A Moveable Feast
Searching for the best adult lunchboxes on the market.
Pottery Barn Lunch Bag
$10-$16.50 (depending on if you monogram) on potterybarn.com
Monogramming, as a rule, feels a bit aggressively bourgeois to me—but then again, so does Pottery Barn. Still, it's hard for me to imagine that even a die-hard Pottery Barn lover would want something so absurd as a monogrammed lunchbox. Sans monogram, which lowers the price to a very reasonable $10, the Pottery Barn lunch bag has a charmingly simple and utilitarian look to it. And, thankfully, whatever thin, unassuming material insulates this bag actually works pretty well—my lunch was remarkably cool upon eating.
Not so thankfully, this same thin, unassuming material also emits a horrible chlorinated-cat-litter smell, which immediately ruined my appetite and gave me a headache. Still rooting for this one, I looked into washing it, hoping that a spin cycle might resolve the odor problem. Pottery Barn recommends spot-cleaning only, so I did just that, using a bit of dish soap and some water to wipe down the inside of the bag. Once the thing dried out, I was disappointed to discover essentially the same smell, with a new set of faintly Palmolive undertones. The tendency to absorb and retain odors seems like a fairly large liability in a lunchbox—I cringe to imagine what the Pottery Barn lunch bag might smell like after doing its job for awhile.

L.L. Bean Turbo Transit Lunchbox $22 on llbean.com
From the outside, the L.L. Bean Turbo Transit looks like a travel accessory—the kind obsessive packers use for tightly rolled underwear. Judging from the inside (thick, white nylon insulation), L.L. Bean has tried to create a bona fide portable refrigerator. Alas, the Turbo Transit is a little too snug for my liking—I was just able to squeeze in my sandwich, yogurt, juice, and utensils. And it ranked only average in its ability to keep my food cold. I was also surprised to find that the Turbo Transit was designed with just a carrying handle, not a strap.
But never mind these practical details: The Turbo Transit is more than just a lunchbox. The product description on the Web site suggests that you keep your wallet and keys in one of the interior mesh pockets, and there's a strange little rubber sphincter on the outside for your iPod headphones. In addition, the outside zippers are outfitted with 3M Scotchlite reflective pulls, in case, I suppose, you'd like to alert passing motorists to your presence.
The Turbo Transit's ripstop exterior is durable as they come, and since you can easily wipe down the interior with soap and water, this bag will go the distance. At $22, it's probably worth the investment. After all, in a pinch you can use it to pack your underwear.

Built Gourmet Getaway Lunch Tote $22-$25 on builtny.com
I was not predisposed to like the Gourmet Getaway Lunch Tote, which resembles a squat winter squash dressed up as a clown. But the Gourmet Getaway won me over with some nice features and superior cooling abilities. If empty, the Getaway lies totally flat and can easily be thrown into another, more attractive, bag. When in use, the bottom folds out to create a rather large chamber that can accommodate plenty of food. My sandwich, yogurt, and juice, which were quite cool when I ate them, didn't come close to filling the Getaway to capacity.
Like the Turbo Transit, the Getaway has only a carrying handle (no strap), but the material is stretchy enough to fit over my wrist, making it quite comfortable to tote around. The neoprene fabric—used to make wetsuits and laptop sleeves—is machine washable, and seems like it'll hold up til the end of days. Best of all, I discovered after a more thorough Internet search that the bag comes in several less offensive outfits—like solid colors instead of polka dots. (Unfortunately there are only even weirder alternatives to the awkward, squashlike structure.)
Flexible, accommodating, generous, and comfortable, the Gourmet Getaway is a like a nice guy you aren't quite willing to call your boyfriend—you feel a bit too embarrassed by him in public. Yet when you shop around for fancier models, you learn to appreciate his simple charms.

JFK Airport a Foul Nest of Luggage Thieves, Claims Random Dude
CBS New York News—that's the TV station that didn't employ Sue Simmons—is going big on how JFK airport is a hotbed of thefts in checked luggage. Their claim: there are 200 thefts a day, every day, from checked bags: "Baggage handlers, jetway workers and even security people are all in on the ongoing scam to steal you blind," is what they're screaming. Their big money quote is from "JFK security lawyer Kenneth Mollins." Did you know there was a kind of lawyer who was a "JFK security lawyer"? That seems unusual! Actually, Kenneth Mollins is a "personal injury attorney." He once:
• represented a client who sued American Airlines because there were maybe peanuts on board and her son might have had an allergic reaction.
• represented a woman who was upset because a steam pipe explosion in Manhattan reminded her of 9/11. (Not joking.)
• represented two fellows who had "neck and back pain" after a Black Monday Walmart trampling episode in Long Island.
