My name is Ethan Terry and I am a Life Boy Scout from Troop 167. I have been in scouting for 9 years now, from 1st grade to 9th grade. When I became a Life Scout I started to think about my Eagle project. I knew I didn't want to build benches or make any signs, although there is nothing wrong with those projects. I wanted to give back to the organizations that assisted me throughout my Scouting career. I spoke to the principal of my school, the pastor of my church, the director of my preschool, and Sam at Second Harvest. Sam had an idea for my project that I was really excited about, to create an organic garden planted with fresh vegetables to help feed the needy.
I have interacted with Second Harvest all of my Scouting career, collecting non-perishable foods in the Fall, planting seeds of vegetables for the edible field in the Spring, packaging foods and picking oranges in the Summer, so I was very familiar with their programs. The dry and canned foods that the food drives collect are fine, however, fresh nutrients in fruits and raw vegetables are always needed and there never seems to be enough of it for young children and the elderly.
Ms. Christine Montevideo, the Volunteerism Manager at Second Harvest, was a great help in donating the seeds, trays, and soil to get me started. I decided to grow cabbage and broccoli because they are winter/spring vegetables and they are hardy and don't spoil easily. In addition, they are full of minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and magnesium which help the body to function more efficiently. They are a good source of Vitamin K and also have phyto-chemical antioxidants to help the body fight off diseases.
The project took seven months from October 2014 to April 2015. There were three stages - the seed-sprouting stage, the transplanting stage, and the harvesting stage. I enlisted more than 40 volunteers to plant 2,000 seeds which yielded about 1,600 sprouts. We transplanted them into the ground and started to harvest about four months later. There were three harvest dates and the crops all grew at different rates. We yielded a total of 2,424 pounds of vegetables (774 heads of cabbage and 920 crowns of broccoli), which is the equivalent of 2,020 meals.
Mr. Glenn Tanaka assisted me greatly by providing me with the land and water to grow the crops for all four months. I could not have done this project without Tanaka Farms. We are in a drought and finding the land and adequate water to nourish these plants would have been very difficult without his help. To grow an organic garden means using no pesticides or chemicals. Mr. Tanaka assisted me in using natural processes to grow my crops. There were uncontrollable factors such as weather, contaminants, and pests to deal with, but we grew quite a lot of vegetables with his expert help.
Thanks to partners such as Second Harvest Food Bank, Tanaka Farms, Troop and Pack 167, we worked as a community to help end hunger. The project has been challenging at times, but extremely rewarding and very educational. If you haven't eaten cabbages and broccoli from the field, you have not lived. They are sweet and very fresh and I'm glad I was able to grow them for the hungry.

Last week, one of our member agencies received a thank you letter from a client who receives food provided by our Food Bank. The church passed along this letter to share the gratitude, and to illustrate the impact that food availability has made on his family's lives:Re: Food AssistanceTo whom it may concern,
My wife, children, and I greatly appreciate all the help and assistance our church has offered in providing food and groceries for our family.
I am a disabled military veteran and unable to provide for my family like I had hoped to. We are on a fixed income, recovering from being homeless 1 week short of 5 years. Being in an apartment is such a blessing from what we had to endure.
It's been approximately 1 year and a half. Although my wife and I do not have a bedroom, and sleep in the living room, we feel very blessed knowing our children each have a bedroom of their own.
Our son and our daughter certainly deserve a room to their selves, but at times feel guilty of our arrangement. Believe it or not, we all have health problems; my wife is also disabled and our kids have many health concerns.
Knowing we always seem to run out of food and groceries by the middle of each month tears my wife and me up. Thank God for the church pantry. Month after month the Pastor has allowed us to go to your warehouse or he many times has come to us and given us groceries. God bless you all.

As an intern at Second Harvest Food Bank, I learned about the thousands of people that go hungry in Orange County. While this fact impacted me, it was a statistic. I encountered people from the hundreds of agencies involved in distributing food across Orange County, but never had a chance to see the faces that were in need of this food. Last week, I was hired as the Special Events and Public Relations Coordinator for Second Harvest and was lucky enough to finally attend an agencies food distribution.
As I pulled up to Monte Vista Elementary School, I noticed a large truck with the word "FOOD" publicized on its side. The agency that was doing this particular food distribution was Newport Church. Newport Church has been passing out food at Monte Vista Elementary for only 5 weeks, and already, they serve about 140 families per week. Their very first week brought about 102 families. With such a great need in the area, it's not surprising the agency chose to work with Monte Vista. After having worked with the school in the past, passing out holiday gifts to children for a few years, Newport Church chose the site to host its weekly food distribution. The principal of the school was on board from the beginning. Before the first distribution, she says she advertised it to about 300 families. Newport Church uses a "client-choice" style of food distribution, which can be challenging, especially to newer agencies. I asked Graham Bronzyck and Kaipo Ruiz how they plan and select food for their distribution. Graham said, the first week, all they knew was that the principal had advertised to 300 families, and so he and Kaipo just "guesstimated" how much food that would be. Graham also said how working with a place like Second Harvest makes it easier, because everything is in one location. They don't have to spend the time making relationships with stores and restaurants, the food is already sorted, and it's of good quality. The fresh produce is also very popular, and to have it available in the quantities Second Harvest does is very helpful. The more the all-volunteer staff works with the client base around Monte Vista, the more they get to know them, and their needs. The most popular items are things like canned beans and corn, and Graham tells me whatever food they are unable to distribute, they give to the school to use. The principal came by towards the end of the distribution, and said some families have lined up for food as early as 8:15am. I was very fortunate to have encountered Newport Church at my first food distribution. Seeing the enthusiasm on the volunteer's faces made me appreciate the purpose of these food distributions. One volunteer described how the food distributions have impacted her. She shared that a 6 year old had given her a hug during the last food distribution and thanked her for giving his mother food, because his mother was happy now. I am looking forward to attending more food distributions, but I am especially excited to see how Newport Church will affect the community in the future.
Thank you to Newport Church!

When Barney Kroger began donating loaves of bread to the poor each week in the early days of his business, Kroger's long history of fighting hunger in the communities it serves was born. Since 2006, Kroger & Ralphs have raised significant funds through their Bringing Hope to the Table annual in store campaign, bringing key supplier partners and customers into their efforts.
Since its launch in 2006, the program has generated $18 million in funds and $7 million in food, all of which goes directly to food banks working in Kroger communities. These funds help food banks purchase new trucks, refrigeration equipment, computers and other resources critical to their mission.
"Now more than ever, food banks and other hunger organizations are stressed and stretched," said Donna Giordano, President of Ralphs Supermarkets. "People who have never been in need before have been hurt by the difficult economy and they are struggling to meet their families' basic food needs."
In addition to supporting Second Harvest Food Bank through their annual Bringing Hope to the Table campaign, Ralphs has also been a long time supporter of the Food Bank by donating numerous gifts to support our special events, and by allowing their employees to donate their time in our warehouse or harvesting crops at the Incredible Edible Park.
Thank you to Ralphs for their continued committed and support of Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. We truly appreciate their partnership!
Ralphs is also currently accepting cash donations for hunger relief in the collection canisters located at the checkstands in its stores

Experts: Prez's jobs bill is just too costly
Credit: AP
Local economists blasted President Obama's $447 billion jobs bill yesterday, saying it would cost taxpayers $200,000 per job and not do enough to boost employment.
"President Obama put forward a set of programs that are not well-suited to the degree of economic calamity we face, no matter the cost," Barry Bluestone, a Northeastern University economist, told the Herald. "Even if Congress were to pass all of it, the chances of it having an immediate impact and getting the economy rolling again are slim."
Harvard University economist Martin Feldstein estimated that each job created by the president's plan will cost about $200,000, and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner defended the cost in a recent TV interview.
"If government does nothing, it does nothing now because they're scared by politics or they want to debate what's perfect, then there will be fewer Americans back to work, the economy will be weaker," Geithner told ABC News.
President Obama has filed legislation that promises to create jobs by offering business tax credits and by calling for more infrastructure spending. But Feldstein questioned the plan in an interview on PBS, saying forecasters predict the measure could create as many as 2 million jobs over the next two years. "That sounds like a lot, until you realize that's about $200,000 per job. ... It's just not a good use of money to spend $200,000 to create a single job," he said.
Andre Mayer, senior vice president for research at the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, said while he believes Feldstein's cost estimate is on target, he doubts the program will convince employers to hire. "The tax credits will not make a difference to encourage employers to hire," he said. "Many companies have lots of money but aren't ready to spend or hire because they are uncertain about the future."

How Much Does a Knee MRI Cost?
The use of Magnetic Resonance Imagery (MRI) has truly revolutionized the medical world's ways of identifying serious medical ailments and diseases. The said procedure allows doctors to literally look inside the human body and get a detailed view of it. Thus, diagnosis becomes more accurate and is a lot easier on the patients. One of the conditions with which MRI proves to be helpful is knee problems. With a knee MRI, doctors are able to painlessly investigate the source of many potential knee problems and conditions.
How much does it cost?
- The price for a knee MRI varies largely on different factors. One of these factors is the location of the imaging center. However, the average cost of a knee MRI is approximately at $700 to $3,500 when done in a healthcare setting. This amount does not include the radiologist read and report, which may cost a few hundred dollars more depending on the specialists. This is a price range for those without any health insurance policy.
- According to healthcarebluebook.com, the cost for a knee MRI averages around $800. This listed price is inclusive already of the physician interpretation and technical imaging.
- Vhi.org stated that the average costs of a knee MRI scan together with the other services that may be included in the procedure as starting at $2000 and reaching as high as $3000. This, of course, includes the facility, radiologist and the physician.
- Some imaging centers may cost two or three times as much as other centers. The reason for this may be that the center specializes in MRI specifically or because their reputation is so high that people are willing to pay the extra amount.
- If you have a health insurance policy, you will be responsible for your deductible and co-pays. Since all policies vary, it is best to discuss this pricing with your health insurance provider.
What is going to be included?
- Prior to the knee MRI scan, the patient is asked to remove any metal attached in the body or in clothing. The MRI technologist will then position the patient to start the scan. The scan usually lasts for 30-60 minutes. However, it may take longer if the patient has trouble taking the test, such as claustrophobia or lying on a hard surface for that long. Breaks may need to be taken if this is the case.
- The payment a patient pays usually includes the total amount for both physician (interpretation) and technical (imaging) fees. There are times when the test will be billed in two parts.
What are the extra costs?
- Radiologist's Fee. Professional radiologist that takes part in the services of MRI scan usually costs $250 on average.
- Contrast/Dye injection. 5%-10% of patients need a contrast solution, or special dye injected into the body. This is done to further enhance the scan. Depending on the specific solution the patient needs, he will likely pay about $100 -$300 extra.
- Anesthesia. If the patient is unable to take the test while awake, he may have to be sedated.
Factors that influence the price:
- According to RemakeHealth.com, MRI prices are based on the following factors:
- body part being examined
- need for contrast/dye injection
- done at hospital or outpatient imaging center
- local competition
Tips to know:
- If you have insurance you can use them to ask for the available in-network providers in your area that offer reasonable prices. If you do not have a policy, use services such as eHealthInsurance.com to find a policy.
- Always ask about the price before you go for an MRI scan. Compare quotes from different imaging centers and go for the one that offers reasonably cheaper price.
- Because of the nature of the MRI, there are many people who have a hard time with the test. If you have a hard time lying down on a hard surface for too long, your may not be able to undergo an MRI. If the loud noise of the machine will bother you, you may need to wear headphones or ear plugs.
- People who are claustrophobic will most likely not be able to have a traditional MRI done. However, in recent years, open MRIs have become an option. This type of MRI will have the same results but will be more comfortable for the patient. It may cost more than a traditional MRI.
How can I save money?
- Make sure that your health insurance will cover part of the costs (if not all) of the MRI scan. That way, you can lessen your expenses.
- As suggested by HealthCarebluebook.com, you should call providers and ask if they offer discounts for self-pay patients in case you do not have a health insurance. If they do offer discounts, ask what will be their price of the service. You may be able to get up to half off the price if you are able to pay cash up front.
Average Reported Cost: $0
Less Expensive $1 $1.5K $3K $5K $6.5K More Expensive $8k

Poor People Are Fighting Baffling Surge in Asthma
Published: October 18, 1999
(Page 2 of 4)
''It is very concerning,'' said Dr. David Satcher, the United States Surgeon General. Referring to his office's year 2000 goals for improving the nation's health, Dr. Satcher said, ''Asthma is one of the areas where we are moving in the wrong direction.''
In an effort to reverse the trends, the Government is stepping up asthma research. In May, Donna E. Shalala, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, announced that the department would develop ''a strategic plan'' for research into the causes of asthma and ways to lessen the burden on minorities and the poor.
In his budget for next year, President Clinton has included $50 million in grants for states to test methods for improving the health of children with asthma who are enrolled in the Medicaid programin addition to the $118 million the National Institutes of Health plans to spend on asthma research.
Although the Clinton Administration has made eliminating racial disparities in disease one of its health priorities, asthma is not on the list of six illnesses the Government has identified for the first five years of that effort.
That is not because the racial gap is insignificant, the Surgeon General said, but because experts have no idea how to narrow it within the five years.
''One of the real issues is, why are we seeing this increase in asthma? And we don't know the answer to that,'' Dr. Satcher said. ''Until you understand why you have the increase, and you have documented it, it is very hard to say you have a strategy that is going to make a difference.''
The Battleground -- Taking the Fight To Schools and Homes
Nowhere is the disparity more evident than in the Bronx and Harlem, where a recent study found that the rate of hospitalization for asthma was 21 times higher than that of more affluent parts of the city, a disparity that surprised even experts who are familiar with asthma trends.
Here, school nurses run six-week asthma education classes for 8-year-olds, and enrollment is overflowing. Children routinely tuck inhalers, the little pumps that convert asthma medication into an inhalable mist, into their backpacks so they can take puffs before gym class. (Asthma is so prevalent that some states, including New York, have begun passing laws allowing children to carry the medication with a doctor's permission, bypassing the usual requirement that drugs be administered by a nurse.)
At the Bilingual Bicultural Mini School on 109th Street in East Harlem, the nurse's medicine cabinet is filled with inhalers, and two nebulizers, machines that administer emergency breathing treatments, are tucked in a corner, just below an asthma awareness poster. Ann-Nancy Murphy, a nurse practitioner from Mount Sinai Medical Center who works at the public elementary school under a pediatric health program, said she needed both machines; sometimes two children have emergencies at once.
The school's director, Lourdes Arroyo, says some students miss as much as four weeks of school each year because of asthma, which she describes as ''an assault on the children.''
''The time that is lost from the classroom, you can't recover that time,'' Ms. Arroyo said. ''With kids that are coming in with several strikes against them to begin with, this just complicates matters.''
In these neighborhoods, asthma has so skewed the perception of healthy children that several mothers said they considered it a mark of success that their asthmatic youngsters had never been ''intubated,'' kept alive by breathing machines. That attitude troubles officials at the New York City Department of Health.
''Our major concern,'' said Dr. Andrew Goodman, associate commissioner, ''was that people were accepting a level of symptoms as being, quote, normal.''
So, two years ago, the department began a childhood asthma initiative. But easing asthma, officials said, is much more than a matter of providing good medical care. It requires the help of educators: teachers are now being taught about asthma. It requires pest extermination: the housing authority, Dr. Goodman said, is participating in a project to reduce cockroaches and interior mold. It requires surveillance: the health department also plans to collect data on new kindergartners so officials can better track patterns in asthma. And it requires negotiation: Dr. Goodman said his agency had persuaded distributors of medical devices to sell ''spacers,'' plastic tubes used with asthma inhalers, to pharmacies at a cost below the Medicaid reimbursement level, so that patients will not have to pay extra.
''The traditional way to deal with a disease is to have a doctor and a patient working together to make sure they are on the right medicines and so forth,'' said Louise Cohen, who directs the initiative, which costs taxpayers $6 million a year. ''That is necessary but insufficient around asthma. There is a whole set of social support that needs to be built.''
Although city health officials say they are working on improving medical care for children, critics say the city fails to provide the primary medical care poor children need.

Let's suspend our rules of engagement at GCFSB for a post and look towards Germany's western neighbor, France. While we write up a Swede from time to time, it's not often that French cars make our blog. But since the Franks, who established rule over France under the Merovingians in the late 400s, were actually a Germanic tribe, let's make an exception and consider this listing. Being a fan of European cars, it's not often that I get stumped by one – but in my normal searches I came across the front end of what appeared, at first, to be a Peugeot 205 GTI. The 205 is perhaps the car that out-GTI'd the original GTi, better handling, awesome looks and more speed meant it's become as legendary as the car credited with starting the market segment. But it didn't look quite right, and a closer inspection revealed it was in fact the bigger brother of the 205; the 309. In GTI trim, they mimicked the recipe started by Volkswagen; turn up the engine, lower the suspension, fit larger alloys and of course stick red accents and "GTI" badges everywhere. Producing 120 horsepower and with low weight, these were fairly potent hatchbacks in their day:

1994 Porsche 968
The Porsche 911 could be described as the eternal sports car. It has a style all its own that has lasted for over fifty years, albeit with some refinements along the way. The Porsche 968, however, looks like it could have been designed yesterday. I never stop thinking about what the Porsche 928 and 968 might have turned into, had Porsche continued on with their transaxle greats which exited stage left in 1995. These are cars that deserved a second life and had plenty of fans, to which the folks over at flüssig magazine can attest. This 1994 968 for sale in Florida was originally sold by Brumos Porsche and has covered just over 80,000 miles.

Wednesday Wheels Roundup
Time for another edition of Wednesday Wheels and another peek around the interwebs looking for some neat wheels. This week we have a rare set of Remotec intended for Mercedes-Benz models from the 1980s; they'd look great on a period 500SEC in my mind. Next are a very odd set of Crimson twin-wheels intended for Porsche 911s, apparently. Why? Great question. Redeeming myself partially, I have a set of OZ-made Carlsson wheels that are simply stunning. They'd really look fantastic on an Audi S4 or E500. Finally, rounding things out are a set of Rays Gram Light wheels originally bought for an Audi S4. They're an unusual choice but mimic the original Quattro's Ronal R8s. Which are your favorite?

1996 Volkswagen Passat GLX TDi Variant
Something really strange happened to me about a decade ago; I got old. Sure, part of it was the numeric figure I associated with my age, but the bigger problem was that I had a job that I was paying the gas bills for, and I needed to drive – a lot. I was adding between 45,000 and 55,000 miles a year to the odometers (when they were working). My preferred mode of transport to that point was Audis, and while they were quirky, fun, and neat looking compared to a Kia, the fuel mileage was nothing to write home about. My 200 Quattro Avant struggled to get 25 m.p.g., and my V8? If I could manage 20, that was a good day. So, despite my desires for a high performance steed, increasingly as gas prices rose my thoughts kept shifting towards how I could maximize my fuel mileage. One thought I had was to take something like the 200 and swap in a TDi drivetrain. Would it be slow? Sure, it wouldn't be nearly as quick – but the prospect of 40 plus m.p.g. was infinitely appealing to easing my multi-thousand dollar gas bills. It seems I wasn't alone in my thinking:

But in Vista I cannot find anything related to that. I had two speakers here, where I can hear the different. I work for a advertising firm where I had to manipulate a number of changes in audio. I am looking for settings that can allow me to setup two option in Windows Vista. The first one is Microphone and the second one is Line Input. I want help to configure Stereo or Mono Mix on my choice at the time of recording.
