I love being a Coppertone Water Mom!
Tags: coppertone, sponsorship, sun, sun safety, sunscreen
I have been so lucky to be a Coppertone Water Mom this past summer! I was able to keep all four of my kids from not getting one single sunburn all summer - AND they were outside in the pool almost every day!

A youth café in North Kerry that provides teenagers with a safe place to socialize is facing closure due to a lack of State funding after barely over a year in operation. The X-Istance Youth Café in Listowel was opened in August of last year as part of a major push by local development company, North and East Kerry Development in partnership with the Kerry Diocesan Youth Service to address spiraling drug use in the region among other youth issues. Amid growing drink and drug abuse by young people across the county, the café was seen as a significant step to providing teenagers with a safe and healthy place in which to meet.

Every child has the right to be sensational and the newly named 2009 Kildare Person of the Year has made this a reality for many children. Karen Leigh from Sensational Kids in Kildare was the popular winner of the prestigious award. She received the award for her tireless efforts in setting up Sensational Kids which provides therapeutic services for up to 50 children per week. Children with autism spectrum disorders such as Down Syndrome, Cerebal Palsy, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia and Global Developmental Delays are all treated.
Karen, and her husband Darren, established Sensational Kids after they realized that there was no affordable occupational therapy in Ireland for their son Conor who has Dyspraxia and Sensory Processing Disorder.

Up to 67 jobs are at risk at the Bord na Mona owned waste transfer facility at Kyletalisha, just outside Portlaoise. Following a decision by An Bord Pleanála (ABP) to uphold an appeal by local residents against the company's plans to retain permission on the site, a company spokesperson said the 57 full-time and ten contract owner/driver jobs "are clearly at risk". Last week, An Bord Pleanála upheld an appeal from residents in the Derryguile/ Kyletalisha area and refused AES (now owned by Bord na Mona) retention permission to continue using its facility in the area as a waste transfer station. Residents in the area have been conducting a campaign to have the waste facility closed since it set up adjacent to the county's landfill site in 2003.

In the past three years - excluding 2009 - a total of €17.3m has been donated to charities in Limerick and across the globe through this foundation, with over 3m going directly to worthy causes in his home county.

Four people have died at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda since the outbreak of the deadly superbug Clostridium Difficile, it has been confirmed. A further 13 cases have been confirmed and 20 symptomatic cases identified since the initial outbreak last week. Following consultation with the Louth County Coroner, the HSE has now agreed that all deaths that take place in the hospital during the outbreak of C Diff will be notified to the coroner as a matter of routine. However, whether or not Clostridium Difficile was a factor in the deaths will only be determined by an inquest. Stringent restrictions remain in place at the hospital and any patients who have contracted the highly contagious bug are being treated in single rooms or in co-hort rooms, the spokesperson said.

Five bills designed to be tough on criminals in Colorado are now law.
One requires authorities to tell you about sexually violent predators living in your neighborhood.
This anti-crime law is about getting families information for their safety, and local representatives say southern Colorado is leading the state in that process, and was, even before it became law.
Five bills that Tuesday morning needed only a signature from Governor Bill Owens are now law.
Two go after identity thieves, and yet another is aimed at convicted criminals whose past makes them a risk to innocent lives.
"Although these predators make up a very small percentage of sex offenders, they pose a danger to society that is greatly out of proportion to their numbers," said Owens Tuesday.
Senate Bill 22 requires local authorities to notify any neighborhood when a recently paroled sexually violent predator will be moving in. It also speeds up the process that sets them apart from other sexual offenders.
"We indicated the best time to have these assessments done is at the time of sentencing when we have the best information to be done with the probation department," State Attorney General John Suthers said.
"I think Colorado Springs has sort of led the pack when it comes to this issue, and the state is catching up," said District 18 Representative Michael Merrifield. He was a sponsor of the bill in a region that's already providing such notification.
Two neighborhoods this year in southern Colorado now know they're living near a sexually violent predator. The new law solidifies the process for communities across the entire state.
"I think it's a no brainer that it's something we would have brought forward in the legislature and that was passed and the Governor signed it," said Merrifield.
The law also requires a designated sexually violent predator from another state to immediately register if they move to Colorado, or face a mandatory arrest.

Year: 94 Model: YZ 250 Mods: pretty much stock (technically) OPINION... Motor: the motor has a strong bottom which meshes into a rather mellow mid, past this is a strong top which pulls hard as it revs to the moon ;-) Power is verry controllable... Handling: not the best ive ridden but by no means the worst, i found that riding in dry or sandy tracks tended to wash out the front end in flat turns more so than i would have expected, a more forward body placement (awkward ergonomically)cured this though. Straight line stability is good as long as the weight is on the back wheel and your on the gas. In the air the bike is tame and controllable, suspension characteristics will differ between each rider... Braking is fairly precise and effective Overall im verry happy with the bike, its verry controllable (i dont fall as much) for the vintage it is an excellent bike...

"The highlights of this book are its comprehensive contents; and the manner in which subjects are covered, specifically the systematic approach to managing patient care...The strength is the sheer volume of information covered by the authors. It is comprehensive in the data provided. It has expanded from previous editions to include issues related to professional practice for nurses. Being revised, it is up to date and this is seen through the inclusion of the current resuscitation guidelines." Nursing Times, April 2013? "This guide is a useful 'friend and companion' to keep close at hand. It is an essential reference for nurses, not only on the ward but in every field of practice where patient care is given. In fact, it makes an accessible guide for all healthcare practitioners...The text is presented in?clear and concise slices that could make learning a piece of cake...The book is so practical that it even comes with a waterproof, wipeable and durable cover. I recommend this guide as an invaluable resource for nurses from day on of their training an throughout their? nursing career." Nursing Standard, May 2013 "The guide would be an excellent resource in many situations. It would be of obvious benefit for nursing students or newly registered nurses and allied healthcare professionals, but also for nurses or members of multidisciplinary teams whose specialist roles many have taken them away providing care in acute settings. The information is easy to follow and so can provide a good prompt for exam revision or to provide a basic update before a placement. It also allows readers to generate questions that can be discuessed with senior colleagues to provide a holistic approach to providing care." Nursing Managment, July 2013

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Navy Region Southwest was awarded the President's Award for Diversity in the large business category from the league during an awards luncheon Oct. 29. The award honors businesses for maximizing opportunities for minorities in San Diego County.
Several large businesses were also nominated for the award, including Walmart, Federal Express and Wells Fargo.
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead has pointed out his goal to see the Navy designated a top 50 employer. Ray King, president and chief executive officer of the San Diego Urban League, said the Navy in San Diego is helping the CNO realize this goal.
"The fact that the U.S. Navy won is a testament to the CNO's stated policy and the efforts and support from area commanders to promote diversity at all levels," Price said. "We congratulate and salute the Navy for being our 2009 winner."
Master Chief Petty Officer James Hervey, the Navy's equal opportunities advisor in the southwest, said the award demonstrates the Navy's commitment to attracting, promoting and retaining a diverse workforce.
"[It] shows that the Navy has awareness on how to manage diversity and is sensitive to diversity," said Hervey. "It is crucial in retaining and attracting employees."
Hervey represents Navy Region Southwest as a member of the Urban League, a position he says gives him insight into current corporate thinking and best practices in diversity.
"We are competing for the same talent as Fortune 500 companies and small businesses, and I get to see what works for them and share it with the Navy," he said.
As a member, Hervey is also able to identify opportunities for sailors to be involved in the communities around San Diego area bases, "to see beyond the fence," he said.
"Volunteer opportunities get sailors out on the front lines, and neighborhoods get to see we are all members of the community."
"We don't just talk about diversity," Hervey said. "We embrace it."
The Navy continues to attract, develop, mentor and retain a top diverse talent to remain a strong and relevant force and the award is a testament to these efforts.

Updated 10:26 p.m.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. � Governor Chafee has signed into law legislation to help resolve the state�s lawsuit against former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling and a dozen others involved in the 38 Studios investment debacle.
In a statement, Chafee thanked lawmakers for fast-tracking the bill, which is among the first pieces of substantive legislation to have cleared the 113-member General Assembly since it convened in early January.
�I am grateful for their assistance, as this legislation will enable us to pursue our legal options to the best of our ability,� he said, in part.
The proposal, which was introduced at Chafee�s request, applies only to the�38�Studios�case and would essentially protect any party that settles out of court with the state from lawsuits filed by other defendants in the case.
Specifically, the legislation states that �a person, corporation, or other entity who has resolved its liability to the Rhode Island�Commerce�Corporation in a judicially approved good faith settlement is not liable for claims for contribution or equitable indemnity regarding matters addressed in the settlement.�
Similar proposals helped settle litigation arising after the state�s banking crisis in the 1990s and the Station nightclub fire in 2003.
CORRECTION: The initial version of this story incorrectly reported that Governor Chafee had also signed a second bill into law on Thursday.

World premiere of "When You're In Love, The Whole World Is Jewish"
Enci | Jan 10, 2013 | Comments 0 |
When You're In Love, The Whole World Is Jewish
Has Its World Premiere At Los Angeles' Greenway Court Theatre
February 1st through March 10th
When You're In Love, The Whole World Is Jewish is more than an expression; it is now the name of a new comedy/musical revue, directed by Seinfeld's Jason Alexander. It will have its world premiere at the Greenway Court Theatre in Los Angeles on February 1st and will run through March 10th. For tickets and more information, please visit: WorldIsJewishThePlay.com
When You're In Love is truly a labor of love – the love of comedy and of cherished childhood memories. Based on several ground-breaking comedy albums, this material has never been seen live until now. Producers Danny Gold and Billy Riback decided to mount the show for one simple reason: "We were both weaned on classic comedy," said Riback, "and the albums "You Don't Have To Be Jewish," and "When You're In Love, The Whole World Is Jewish," were gut-bustingly funny way back then, and because of the timeless nature of the comedy, part character study, part self-effacing lampooning, but always sweet-natured and good-hearted, they remain just as hilarious today."
With the world growing increasingly crude, rude, and mean-spirited; When You're In Love brings the best of this timeless material to life. There is nothing in this show that would offend a nun, assuming one would come, and yet somehow it's still funny. The producers felt "It would be refreshing to have a show that shies away from those well-known four-letter words and colorful phrases, yet still manages to elicit belly laughs. We only hope you enjoy watching our show as much as we did putting it together."
"This opportunity was simply too good to pass up," added Gold. "We have the chance to bring a truly classic and original comedy to a wide audience, and we can't wait to hear what you think."
In 1965, there was an innovative album that was capturing the public's imagination, and it was called "You Don't Have To Be Jewish" (Kapp Records), featuring the talented voices of Lou Jacobi, Betty Walker, Jack Gilford, and Frank Gallop. This collection of classic Jewish humor was written and produced by Bob Booker* & George Foster, and within weeks of its release it was a Top 10 hit. It also received a Grammy nomination as "Comedy Album of the Year."
The next year a follow-up album was released titled, "When You're In Love, The Whole World Is Jewish," (Kapp Records) again featuring Lou Jacobi, Betty Walker, Frank Gallop, and introducing a young actress from New York named Valerie Harper. This album featured the Top 10 hit "The Ballad of Irving," sung by Frank Gallop.
*Bob Booker and his first partner Earle Doud were the brains behind the largest and fastest selling album in the history of the record industry at the time, THE FIRST FAMILY, the 1962 satire on President Kennedy and his family featuring Vaughn Meader. THE FIRST FAMILY went on to win two Grammys: "Comedy Album" of the year, and "Album of the Year."

Time's resident humorist Joel Stein was mysteriously selected to write their latest cover story with the hair-on-fire headline "Why we're losing the Internet to a culture of hate." It's mysterious because Stein has written some very troll-like commentary over the years, such as Christianity is a "death cult," and "I don't support our troops."
But even in the very issue that Stein is complaining about ugly speech taking over the World Wide Web, he's written a column "joking" about taking the right to vote away from old people, because they stink at voting. The headline was "Why older people shouldn't vote – and other ideas unpopular with my parents."

After an Associated Press report that exposed how numerous Clinton Foundation donors were able to set up meetings with Hillary Clinton while Secretary of State, NBC correspondent and resident Clinton fangirl, Andrea Mitchell rushed to defend her on NBC Nightly News Tuesday. Mitchell seemed to be annoyed by the persistent scandal, calling it, "A headache for the Clinton campaign that could last until the election and beyond."

News broke Tuesday via the Associated Press that, "At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs." But that didn't seem important enough for ABC who only gave the story a total of one minute, 44 seconds between two segments, while giving the conspiracy theory about Clinton's health two minutes, 43 seconds that same evening on World News Tonight.

The media coverage of the presidential race is so tilted to the Democrats that even liberal analysts feel obliged to declare it. USA Today media columnist Michael Wolff asserted that this campaign isn't between Trump and Clinton. It's between Trump and the media that have turned against him in a big way. "Now, appalled by their own creation, the media have become, with quite some religious fervor, the defender of truth, justice, morality and proper public behavior, all focused on (Trump's) undoing."

Much like Santiago, struggling to bring his heavily-damaged prize into shore, before being torn to shreds by predators watching to see how large and vulnerable his doomed catch has become, the liberal sports media is working overtime to cement the notion of Ryan Lochte as "Great White Villain," before the Brazilian Police's version of his gas station exploits starts reading more and more like a massive lie.

With even traditional outlets like the Associated Press and liberal journalists raising concerns about the Clinton Foundation, MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews and EMILY's List president Stephanie Schriock did their best on Tuesday to stave off the damage by making sure viewers knew that the foundation has been "very transparent and ethical" in doing "great work."

The "right-wing noise machine" helped make a mess for Republicans by giving "invaluable aid" to Donald Trump, declared Jeet Heer in a Friday piece. Nonetheless, Heer thinks that one positive consequence of Trump's nomination is that "some in conservative media are…taking stock of how their own bad habits have enabled an unfit demagogue to become their party's standard-bearer." Heer proposed a "reform agenda that could fix conservative journalism," which included his idea that "conservative pundits need to become more intellectually honest and not knee-jerk in dismissing mainstream outlets as inherently biased."

Appearing as a guest on Tuesday's CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello, liberal CNN political commentator Angela Rye hyperbolically asserted that Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan reminds her of slavery and the days when black Americans were assaulted with dogs and water hoses. Even though the Republican presidential candidate has stated that the 1980s is an era that he believes America was "great," the CNN commentator linked his slogan to the days of extreme racism against the black population.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar called for further government spending as a solution to racial inequality on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Tuesday. Princeton Professor Eddie Glaude, Jr. asked the basketball great, "How do we muster the courage to look the ugliness of what we are squarely in the face?" Abdul-Jabbar replied, "I think...people don't want to reach in their pockets. This is going to be expensive...and people try to avoid that — especially politicians. They don't want to tell their constituents that...taxes are a necessary evil if we're going to have the society that we want."

The Media Research Center's Tim Graham appeared on Fox Business, Monday, to expose just what journalists will be parroting over and over this election cycle. Talking to Deirdre Bolton, Graham said of journalists, "The script is 'Hillary is going to win big, so whatever you do, Hillary is going to win big.'"
NY Times Finds 'Validation' for Hillary: Her Claims Against 'Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy' 'Not Entirely Baseless'By Clay Waters | | August 23, 2016 | 5:35 PM EDT
The New York Times' chief Hillary-following reporter Amy Chozick delivered some unfiltered Clinton campaign propaganda in Tuesday's "'Conspiracy' Validation Seen by Clinton Camp," vindicating Hillary's notorious late-90s paranoia about a "vast right-wing conspiracy" taking on the innocent, scandal-free First Couple, with Chozick defending the claim as "not entirely baseless."

Proving how the Clinton Foundation scandal has become increasingly difficult for the media to ignore, Monday's The Last Word on MSNBC featured liberal host Lawrence O'Donnell and lefty New York magazine writer Jonathan Chait agreed that the foundation represents "a bigger problem than the Clinton campaign really seems to be aware of" and has been different than the set-up for another famous political family's charity in the Rockefeller Foundation.

The journalists on CBS promoted Hillary Clinton bashing Donald Trump's "wacky strategy" against her and featured clips of the Democrat on late night TV, something that's necessary since it's been 263 days since she's had a press conference to talk to actual journalists. Nancy Cordes played extensive excerpts of Clinton on an ABC comedy show and then opined, "On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Clinton tackled a Trump lie about her health."

Claressa Shields made history in Rio as the first U.S. boxer to win back-to-back gold medals. But while the major media outlets praised her historic win, they forgot about her most important personal win.

Marjorie Tahbone -- or "Marge" as some of her friends call her -- was born and raised in Nome. As a self-described "outdoorsy girl" she is most comfortable in wide open spaces. She says she loves Nome because she is able to drive out to the family's fish camp and live off of the land.
While she doesn't like to complain because someone always has it a little harder, Nome does have some downsides. She says the high cost of living is a challenge to living in Nome.
"My co-worker has a family of four and a husband and she spends $2,500 dollars a month on food," Tahbone said. "I was just appalled because I go through a measly $500-$600 a month with food. Holy cow I just couldn't believe it."
She doesn't enjoy the Iditarod as much as she used to when she was younger, when she and her brothers would collect the dog's booties as the mushers pulled into Front Street.
"We were so proud to collect those dog booties from the Iditarod dog mushers because they were so mysterious to us as kids," she said. Tahbone works for the Kawerak regional corporation as a wellness coordinator. Tahbone is happy to be giving back to her community that has shown her so much support, even throwing a community potluck for her before she left for college at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks.
She said by participating in the One Alaska program she hopes to gain knowledge of other places around the state and hear what other people think about other parts of Alaska.

Parkway section opens again for holiday
Published: Friday, July 1, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 1, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
An 11-mile section of the Blue Ridge Parkway between Mount Mitchell State Park and N.C. 80 will reopen at noon today, in time for the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
The reopening leaves only one portion of the 469-mile scenic route closed -- an eight-mile section that is just north of Spruce Pine, parkway Superintendent Daniel W. Brown said. The detour for that is well-marked, Brown said, and should pose no challenge for motorists. All parkway campgrounds, visitor centers and other concessionaire-operated facilities are open.
For current road conditions, call the parkway information line at (828) 298-0398.

Safe Distances

In reference to the article "Too Close for Comfort" [Feb. 10, front page] in which Michelle Starling is ticketed for driving too close to the car in front of her, something is not right.
I was taught that a safe distance is one car length for every 10 mph. If Michelle was going 32 mph and was clocked at 1.31 seconds behind, then she was more than four car lengths behind. The police standard of 1.4 seconds would be five car lengths.
What kind of a nutty rule is this? Not quite as nutty as the "passing an object along the road and counting seconds" mental calculation while you are driving. You say this law hasn't been successfully challenged yet? The calculations above are the simplest to do, and I am surprised that no lawyer has figured it out yet. I refuse to believe the state of math education is that bad.
I vehemently object to this nonsense because I could be next, and I am not going to go for a ticket for being five car lengths behind someone at 30 mph.
There are plenty of true tailgaters around here that do deserve a ticket, and I have written before about how silly this one is when I see dozens of drivers at dusk and at night driving without their lights on. Put the toys away and open your eyes and give those people tickets for something that is truly unsafe.

My doctor is a Romney supporter.
I'll bet he keeps you in stitches !
Where I used to live, in Mich my dentist was a very fervent Republican and he used your time in the chair to lecture you on the candidates. I didn't know this for almost three years because he didn't start his political gabfest until about July in an election year. Glad my current dentist keeps his views to himself.
In 1985, Senator Pete Wilson (R-CA) was wheeled in 32 hours after appendix surgery for a floor vote.
Tonight's Daily Show had an hilarious skit on political campaign managers who take over running campaigns for two eighth- graders running for student counsel president. It's a must see !
…once you reach a certain age you're just no longer hip.
Now I see what Alex meant, back on July 30, when she said she was going to take over and become the "controlling authority" of the strip.
I see a permanent wheelchair in Joan's future, if she ignores sound medical advice. Hip replacements are not to be messed with.
What's one woman's mobility compared to the risk of a Tea Party-controlled Senate? I'll distract the security guard in the lobby.
I'll bring the car around.
I got the doors on the back stairs.
@Linguist political campaign managers who take over running campaigns for two eighth- graders running for student counsel president. It's a must see !
It was Great can't wait for part 2 tonight and I guess part three will be next week, monday night since no show on Friday…..
Had to suspend Monday and Tuesday for Sandy, so maybe we will get a Friday show. It'd be a stretch to do the eighth grade skit on election eve.
In the piece the interviewer asked one of the high school candidates why she wanted to be student council president. I really don't remember her canned response, but a truthful one would be along the lines of, "Because it looks good on my college admission applications. Duh!"

'Sufficient interest' test could be toughened in latest move
Chris Grayling, the justice secretary, is proposing yet more curbs on judicial reviews, 'The Times' reported this morning.
He announced a package of measures in April, including reduced time limits for bringing judicial reviews and greatly increased fees, which were implemented on the first day of this month.
The justice secretary defended further restrictions, part of the latest civil legal cuts, at the justice select committee earlier this month. The restrictions would include limiting public funding to successful applications.
Meanwhile the Commons joint committee on human rights said it had launched an inquiry into the legal aid cuts, and would be holding oral hearings in October.
According to The Times, ministers now want to change the test requiring applicants to have a 'sufficient interest' in the decision at issue to one which would "ensure that only those with a direct link to the policy or decision can challenge."
It was likely that proposals to change the 'sufficient interest' test would be brought forward this autumn for consultation, the newspaper said, "possibly as part of ongoing reforms to legal aid".
The number of judicial review cases has increased from almost 7,000 in 2007, to 12,000 in 2013, but the vast majority are related to immigration.
Prime minister David Cameron launched the government's offensive on judicial reviews in November last year, claiming that the current regime hindered infrastructure investment and economic growth.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice said: "The government is committed to reducing the number of meritless and time-wasting judicial review cases which clog the courts and cause unnecessary delays to everyone else.
"We have already made a number of changes, including stopping people from having additional hearings even after their case has been considered 'totally without merit' by a judge, and announced earlier this year that we will be considering further measures."
Never enough
Some people are never satisfied. Having introduced shorter time limits and higher fees for judicial review cases this spring, the justice secretary is already planning an absurd 'no win, no pay' scheme for legally aided applications . Now it seems he can't resist a third bite at the cherry, or swing of the axe. According to The Times, Grayling wants to change the 'sufficient interest' test for people wanting to bring a JR to those with a 'direct link', whatever that means.
The case of Lewisham Hospital is a very good example of why we need judicial reviews. Last week the High Court quashed the health secretary's decision to downgrade A & E and maternity services at the hospital. The background is that Jeremy Hunt wanted to shut down parts of Lewisham Hospital, which everyone including the court regards as excellent, and transfer the work to a hospital in Woolwich. The Woolwich hospital is part of the South London Healthcare Trust, one of the worst trusts in the country and currently losing £1m a week.
I am completely biased, because I live close to Lewisham Hospital. But why should one excellent public service be cut to pieces to prop up another, which is failing disastrously? The High Court ruled that the bureaucrat who came up with the plan had no power to decide the future of anywhere apart from the South London Healthcare NHS Trust. Whatever happens on appeal, that seems very sensible to me.

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum confirmed a report by Sports Illustrated that Manny Pacquiao is virtually locked into a return date of June 9 at a new outdoor venue in Las Vegas against an opponent other than Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"If we can't do a fight with Mayweather at the end of May, yes we will do a fight with somebody else on June 9," Arum told RingTV.com. "That's correct. We're still optimistic, or somewhat optimistic, that we can do a fight with Mayweather at the end of May."
Mayweather, who turns 35 next month, has targeted May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for his next bout, and is scheduled to begin a 90-day jail sentence starting on June 1.
Kevin Iole of Yahoo!Sports reported that Mayweather said he is legally obligated to fight on May 5 and that he can not do so on another date.
But Arum and Pacquiao's advisor, Michael Koncz, have all but dismissed that date for Mayweather-Pacquiao, citing their camp's desire to have built a 40,000-seat, temporary outdoor venue on the Las Vegas strip in late May or early-June to maximize revenue.
Arum said that he does not believe that Mayweather's sentence prevents him from fighting before his scheduled prison date.
"The idea that Mayweather is prevented by the courts from doing the fight at the end of May is totally bulls–t," said Arum.
"I can not believe this bulls–t, and this excuse that he legally can't fight at the end of May. That makes absolutely no sense. What difference does that make to the judge?"
Still, Mayweather blames Arum for blocking efforts to make the bout, whose negotiations have twice failed over the issue of drug testing.
But Arum told RingTV.com on Tuesday that Mayweather still is among the five choices for Pacquiao, including Miguel Cotto, Juan Manuel Marquez, WBO junior welterweight titleholder Tim Bradley and IBF/WBA junior welterweight titleholder Lamont Peterson.
Koncz said the June 9 date is not etched in stone when it comes to attempting to make a bout with Mayweather.
"That's a date that we have chosen, and it's not unusual. That's just a date that has been reserved or chosen," said Koncz. "We haven't confirmed that date, and we have not even confirmed an opponent."

Ratings for Dr. David J. Medford
I am extremely pleased with my experience with Dr. Medford and his staff. I had my cataracts removed. Based on his recommendation, I chose the RESTOR multifocal IOL lens. It was the right decision for me. I can read and do needlepoint with clear vision, and my distance vision has improved greatly. Dr. Medford and his staff are friendly, professional, and put me at ease.
I've recently had both eyes operated on for removal of cataracts. I had a referral from my optometrist, but did not find positive reviews for that ophthalmologist. I searched for someone with better reviews and came upon Dr. Medford (Affiliated Eye Surgeons 95 Madison Ave, Ste 400 Morristown, NJ 07960). The wait time for the original examination was a couple of months, which indicates how much of this type of work his organization does. Once in, the actual appointments for the operations were very reasonable, and the waits at the office were prompt. The staff was courteous and very personable. Dr. Medford was great. He explained everything that was going to happen, and how the process worked; he really took all the time I needed and explained everything in layman's terms. The operations went smoothly and the results were exactly as described - in my terms, the results were life changing. For the first time since I was 12 years old (53 years ago) I could see distance without glasses! I do need reading glasses (needed bifocals before) and again, Dr. Medford's recommendation for transitional lenses worked out perfectly. Using the computer is better than ever, sight wise. I would recommend him to friends and relatives in a heartbeat (and I already have).
Dr. Medford and his staff are wonderful. My cataract surgery went perfectly and with no pain or discomfort. He and his office staff are thoughtful, knowledgeable, and reassuring. Dr. Medford deserves my highest recommendation.
Dr. Medford is a skilled surgeon and diagnostician. Dr. Medford did a wonderful job on my cataract surgery, and also helped me through a difficult medical situation - which had a great out come.
Dr. Medford did wonderful jobs on my Cataract surgeries recently. I am very happy with the results.
It's been about a month since my cataract surgery and it's wonderful to have the vision in my right eye back. I waited a while to submit a review just to be sure there were no complications and I'm happy to say there weren't. The operation went off without a hitch; I couldn't believe how quick and easy it was. Prior to the operation Dr. Medford took the time to explain the entire process and answer all of my questions. My post-operative visits were also informative and unhurried, and the staff at the Morristown office was courteous and professional. I would highly recommend Dr. Medford to anyone requiring cataract surgery or eye care in general.
Because of Dr. Medford I can see so much better, Hooray!! Would definitely recommend him to others, nice and caring, he and his staff made me feel so comfortable during both my cataract surgeries, I thank you all so very much.
I am the third family member to be a patient of Dr. Medford. All successful outcomes. My self-confidence has increased to a great extent after Dr. Medford performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes. Dr. Medford was excellent in answering my detailed questions about night time driving. I would highly recommend Dr. Medford.
Dr. Medford is definitely an asset to his profession and a gift to his patients! He did an excellent job on the cataract surgeries he did on my eyes and what an amazing experience to finally live without eyeglasses....what a liberating feeling it is! His expertise as an eye surgeon definitely changes the lives of so many of his patients like me who can now enjoy the rest of our lives with good eyes. His caring ways are also reflected overall amongst his staff who are accommodating, reassuring and comforting to his patients when needed. I cannot thank Dr. Medford and his staff enough for a wonderful experience having made him my surgeon of choice and his staff for their friendly and kind attitudes! Thank you all and best wishes to Dr. Medford for his continued business and personal success!
Dr. Medford has been monitoring my glaucoma for several years in a proactive manner that has slowed the progression of the disease. Recently he performed cataract surgery via laser on both eyes and my distance vision has improved remarkably. Dr. Medford is always calm, confident, and patient when explaining any medical procedure, test, etc. and so I have always felt like I've had nothing to fear in his capable hands.

|Found By
|Hike Distance
In the clear, thin Rocky Mountain air the night sky is a riot of stars but this little star shines brighter than all the rest. This trek is about three miles roundtrip along the well maintained Chicago Lakes Trail. In the nearby Gold Rush town of Idaho Springs you can dine on buffalo or soak in an underground hot spring.
To the trailhead: From Denver head west on I-70 to Exit 240. From here head south fourteen miles on Route 103, the Mount Evans Highway. Just before the fee station you will find the Chicago Lakes Trailhead on the right side of the road. Parking is on the left.
To the letterbox: When the Chicago Lakes Trail meets up with the Echo Lake Trail, it goes left and left again at the next signed junction. From the far end of the log that crosses the creek, walk twenty steps more to a rock on the left side of the trail. Turn left here and walk fifty steps to where the letterbox awaits beneath silver wood and golden stone

Civil Rights Movement: "Black Power" Era
James Chaney in Civil Rights Movement: "Black Power" Era
James Chaney (1943-1964) was an African-American volunteer in the "Freedom Summer" voter registration drives. In August 1964, Chaney and two white volunteers, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, were discovered murdered in Mississippi.
On 21 June 1964, "Freedom Summer" volunteers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner disappeared while registering voters in Mississippi. Two months later, their bodies were found in an earthen dam on a farm near Philadelphia, Mississippi. Several white men, including Edgar Ray "Preacher" Killen, were suspected of murder. Only Killen was ultimately convicted, 41 years after the crimes were committed.

Flow Checking in Sun Valley
The new flow trails on Bald Mountain are being built to appeal to families who visit Sun Valley and want to try lift-accessed mountain biking in the beautiful Idaho mountains. Because of expert design and construction the trails are also a blast for experienced riders, and even the chill fall weather didn't stop a test-run of the new tracks by local and visiting pros.
Project partners Trail Solutions and Alpine Bike Parks are looking to wrap up the season soon with more work ahead for 2014.

New information security requirements take effect in Massachusetts
In March, Massachusetts became the first state to implement specific information security requirements for those who conduct business in the state. The new rules apply to all entities that own, license, store or maintain personal information about a Massachusetts consumer or employee. Since it may be impractical for a company to treat information collected from Massachusetts residents differently than others, many companies will need to review their data privacy and security programs to make sure that they meet the new requirements.
Included in the data security standards are two provisions that have a broad impact across all types of industries. While many of the standards are similar to the requirements financial institutions must follow under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the new rules will require all types of businesses to comply. This requires many other businesses, such as retailers, that have not been required to follow certain standards to now adjust their data security policies.
Additionally, the standards broaden liability, as it requires entities to take reasonable steps to verify that third-party service providers with access to personal information have the capacity to protect such personal information. The regulations neither impose any separate obligation to obtain certifications from third-party service providers that such third-party service providers are in full compliance with the regulations, nor require such third-party service providers to implement the specific protocols imposed on businesses under the regulations. As a result, businesses must perform due diligence to fully understand the data security processes used by vendors.

Twelve-year-old Cydni Hazard wants two things in life: to be able to use her empathic abilities to connect with her deceased mother and to become a professional paranormal detective. In order to get what she wants, she feels she must learn as much as possible from her spiritually gifted Aunt Ettie, all the while keeping her supernatural talents hidden from her skeptical father. But no matter where Cydni goes, the spirit world hunts her down and brings stray cats with mystical messages that she must decipher to keep her life on a somewhat normal keel. That's not easy when her empathic nature leads her into unfamiliar territory and behavior.

Elliot Rodger was painfully shy, socially awkward and very bright but never had a discipline problem nor showed any sign of aggression at his continuation high school in Lake Balboa, his former principal said.
Deborah Smith, who once served as Rodger's principal at Independence High School, said she knew the young man for more than two years and was "in shock" and "devastated" to hear that the 2010 graduate allegedly killed six young people in a Friday night rampage near UC Santa Barbara.
"This never, ever crossed my mind. Never -- and I've worked with a lot of kids," Smith said in a phone interview Sunday. "I've worked in nonpublic schools with very emotionally disturbed kids. I've had contact with people where I thought, 'hmm...some day you might be a headline' but never Elliot ... Everything about him was soft-spoken, polite, a gentleman, very courteous. Just everything about him."
Elliot Rodger, 22, formerly of Woodland Hills led a privileged life by many accounts but some of his last words reveal that he had long battled insecurity, social awkwardness and envy. Despite his father's success as a Hollywood director who had worked on "The Hunger Games" and doting family members, Elliot felt very much an outcast and largely blamed women for his suffering and inability to "fit in" with his cohort.

Valentine roses: You pay if you send them, but you pay more if you don't
First, let me say right up front: My wife's worth every penny of the $96.29 I paid to have a dozen red roses delivered to her office on Valentine's Day. Except I thought I was paying $49.99.
The online florist I used, ProFlowers, advertised "One Dozen Red Roses" for $49.99. Perfect, I thought, until I went to check out:
$49.99 for the roses
$7.99 for the "Elegant Ruby" vase
$17.99 for standard delivery
$9.99 for "Guaranteed Valentine's Day Delivery"
$2.99 for care and handling
Those $49.99 roses suddenly were up to $96.29. Those guys really are pros.
But like I said, she's worth every penny – and then some.

Some of the playing in the beginning of set 1 (Reba) either seemed to lack inspiration or the boys were simply a bit tired. Nonetheless, listen to this set for some above average playing on Jibboo and Bowie. For instance, the phab four hit a beautiful, mellow space at the beginning of the Bowie jam and then move into some sonically dissonant, murkier waters.
Set 2
Set two started with perhaps the most thoughtfully played Crosseyed and Painless. Tonights version was definitely on par with the absolute face-melter-of 11/2/96. If youre looking for an exploratory vision quest, check out vids of tonights Crosseyed. Page took Light out to funky horizons on the theremin. When Sneakin Sally started, I could hear that the guys were in the pocketrelaxed, in a state of fluid experimenation, yet focused. The best shows of 3.0 have involved Trey sitting back a bit and allowing Mike, Page, and Fish to bring their vision quests to center stage, and tonights show is certainly an example of this type of full-band, empathetic (listening and) playing. Im ambivalent about YEM, but tonights exorcism of a vocal jam left me shaken to my musical core.

Curbing cholesterol can boost antiviral immune response
Edinburgh – Lowering cholesterol could help the body's immune system fight viral infections. According to results presented from Scientists at the University of Edinburgh, the effect is mediated by a type I-interferon signal triggered by virus infection. The researchers demonstrated in mice that cholesterol lowering drugs such as statins could boost an innate immune response. Currently antibiotics target the bug directly. The new approach may lower the rate of resistance mutations because it acts indirectly by mimicking immune signals sent to reduce cholesterol production.

Levi family
The family's original name Levi Bensheton was used interchangeably with Levi in English and Welsh birth, death and marriage entries and census records, and was eventually dropped. Some documents use the alternative spelling Levy.
Samuel Levi Bensheton is the earliest known member of the Levi family. The United Kingdom GRO index shows that he died in the December quarter of 1858 in Merthyr Tydfil.
At present, there is no further information on Samuel and his family, apart from his son, Yomtob.
It has been advised that Yomtob or Yantub may be variations of the Hebrew Yomtov, meaning good day or festival day. The personal surname Levi may be indicative of a Levite family, and it is possible that the Bensheton family were Levites. It seems that Yomtov appears in diverse forms in Levite families.
Throughout his lifetime, there was no consistency in the spelling of his first name, which was undoubted exacerbated by the fact that he could not read and write. The main variants are as follows:
Yomtob was born about 1813 - 1814, and censuses show that his place of birth was in Morocco, Africa. Yomtob recorded his occupation as a clothier. The 1851 he was living at Cross Street, South Gebeland in Methyr Tydfil.
On 3 March 1852, Isabella married Yomtob Levi Bensheton, at 16 Bury Street, in St Mary Axe Parish, London, with the ceremony performed by David Pizar. Their marriage was also recorded in the Bevis Marks Records.
No. 191 3 March 1852
Yomtob Levi Ben Sheton (Shiton) 38 B clothier Glebeland Merthyr Tydfil Samuel Levi Ben Sheton Deceased
Isabella Himes 25 S 6 Browns Bldgs, St. Mary Axe Issachar Himes Tailor
Place of Wedding: 16 Bury St., St. Mary Axe
Witnesses and Registrar: D.A. De Sola, S. Genese jun., S. Almosino (R)
50 pounds husbands addition
Witnesses on Ketubah: D.A. De Sola, David Piza
Bevis Marks Records, Part III - Abstracts of the Ketubot or Marriage Contracts and of Civil Marriage Registers of the Spanish and Portugese Jews Congregation for the Period 1837-1901.
They lived together in a number of locations in Merthyr Tydfil. At the time of the 1861 Census they lived at 49 Glebeland Street, and ten years later they lived at 21 Castle Street, (1871 Census).
Castle Street - picture taken at the end of the nineteenth century. Most of the street was demolished in the 1960's and 1970's. (Merthyr Tydfil Public Libraries; Valley Views - Book 1: Historic Street Scenes of the Merthyr Tydfil Valley p.15)
Bevis Marks Birth Records
The births of three of the children are recorded in the Bevis Marks Records:Emilie - Ben Shiton Levy Gimol S Yomtob Bilha 7 Dec 1852 Sheet 106 26 Kislev 5613 Sarah (second name)John Hymes - Ben Shiton Levy Jacob H Yomtob Bella 31 Jul 1860 Sheet 119 4 Nisan 5616 Haim (second name)Leah - Ben Shiton Levy Leah Yomtob Bilha 9 Apr 1856 Sheet 111 12 Ab 5620
Bevis Marks Records, Part V - The Birth Register (1767-1881) of the Spanish and Portugese Jews Congregation, London. John's recorded middle name Haim could be an earlier form of the Himes surname
It appears that Yomtob and Isabella went through difficult times raising their family. The following extract from "The Jews of South Wales", which appears to relate to the family, illustrates this.
As early as 1864 the Jewish Chronicle published a report of the the plight of Youtaff Levi who a few years earlier had been a subscriber to the synagogue fund, but was now appealing for assistance to the Merthyr Community.
"Having four small children ill with fever for some time, and one buried only a few days since... he has been reduced to the greatest distress, his wife expecting to be confined daily. He has been well known as a respectable tradesman for the last sixteen years. The undersigned believe that if sufficient funds could be raised to enable them to place a little way of business so as to enable him to earn a living for himself and family..."The Merthyr and Cardiff congregations gave 5 pounds each and Swansea eight pounds 15 shillings"(Ursula Henriques; The Jews of South Wales, University of Cardiff Press, The Valley Communities VII)
If this does refer to Yomtob, then Anna could be the child that died. The child on the way could have been Edward (as the dates are uncertain), or a later child that also died.
Yomtob died at the age of 65, on 30th January 1878 at Merthyr Tydfil. His death certificate shows that he died of double pneumonia at his son Edward's house at 8 Victoria Street, Merthyr Tydfil. It is not clear where Yomtob is buried - his death pre-dates the present Jewish section of the Cefn Coed cemetery just outside Merthyr Tydfil, and he does not appear to be buried in the Old Swansea Jewish Cemetery.
Victoria Street - named after the Queen in whose reign the street was built. (Merthyr Tydfil Public Libraries; Valley Views - Book 1: Historic Street Scenes of the Merthyr Tydfil Valley p.17)
Isabella lived longer than Yomtob, but moved away from Merthyr Tydfil. Along with other family members, she is recorded as dwelling at 34 Murray Street, Llanelly, Carmathen (1881 Census), and then 22/24 Brecon Road, Cyfartha (1891 Census). Isabella died on the 3rd August 1905, aged 76, and was buried in the Old Swansea Jewish Cemetery. Her gravestone seems to be the only time her name is recorded as Isabelle - in all other instances, it is Isabella.
The text on her grave states:She stretched out her hand to the poor. Yea, she put forth her hands to the needy. Deeply mourned by her many friends. May her dear soul rest in everlasting peace.
She was born on the 7th December 1852, at Glebeland, Merthyr Tydfil. Her birth certificate shows her name as Emilie Sarah Bensheton. The 1861 and 1871 censuses show her living with her family, but by 1881 she was the governess to Barnett family (Henry, Louisa and children) at 10 Heathfield Street.
Ten years later her position with the Barnett family, now living at 5 Heathfield Street, Castle, had changed to that of lady's companion (1891 census). Emilie remained a spinster. She died on the 8th May 1940, aged 86, and was buried as Emilie Levi in the Old Swansea Jewish Cemetery.
Record from the NZ Shipping Company Passenger List
Photo of Lily, around 20 years old, taken in the late 1870s in Tredegar, Wales- Photographer: J.S Dennis
Lily, as she was known in later years, appears to have been born on the 9th April 1856, in Merthyr Tydfil. Her birth certificate records her name as Leah Levi Bensitton, which is a mispelling of Bensheton. Curiously, neither the 1861 or 1871 census record her as living with her family in Merthyr Tydfil! However, it is clear that in 1879 she emigrated to Wellington, New Zealand aboard the Wairoa with Bloom family - Lily's mother's sister Leah, husband Jacob, and their daughter Laura. About a year after arriving she married Israel Boock, on the 23rd June 1880, in Wellington, New Zealand. She died on the 6th December 1925, and is buried Wellington, New Zealand.
The text on his grave indicates that he was the Commandant of the Swansea United Service Brigade. It also states that he was:Deeply mourned by his sister and his many friends
According to his age in various censuses and his death certificate, he was born around 1862/3, but an index reference to his birth certificate has not been able to be found. He is recorded as living with his family in 1871 Census. Ten years later, in the 1881 Census he is harder to locate, but is possibly Obidiah Levi at Private (Jewish) School, 13 Fitnalan Place, Cardiff St John. Edward remained a bachelor. He died on the 19th June 1936, in Swansea, and was buried in the Old Swansea Jewish Cemetery.
The text on his grave states that he was:Deeply mourned by his sister and brother and his many friends
According to his age in various censuses and his death certificate, he was born around 1867, but an index reference to his birth certificate has not been able to be found. He is recorded in various censuses as Isaac Robert Levi. Isaac was a pawnbroker, who remained a bachelor. He died at the age of 68, on the 1st August 1934 at 10 Heathfield Street, Swansea. He is buried as Isaac Raphael Levi in the Old Swansea Jewish Cemetery.

The Dignity of Work
Not a New Issue
Doing Our Part
Teens: Make the Most of Your Work
Kids: What I Want to Be When I Grow Up
Recently, while waiting in the drive-thru at a local fast-food restaurant, I heard the
patron in front of me yelling at the worker. I'm not sure what he was yelling
about; perhaps she got his order wrong, or maybe they were out of something
he wanted. But he was not happy and made it well known—by his tone and choice
of words—to the worker and the rest of us in line.
When I got to the window to pick up my order, I apologized to the
young woman for the man's behavior.
"It's O.K.," she replied. "I get that all the time. I'm used to
As I drove away, I thought how sad that was. Here was a young woman
trying to earn some money—maybe for school, maybe for a car, who knows?—and
this is the type of behavior she must endure.
Not a New Issue
This month we celebrate Labor Day, a day to recognize the work
done by all.
The Church has long addressed the issue of the dignity of work and
workers. The 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII challenged
Catholics to focus on the worker within the context of the workforce. It addressed
issues such as just wages and issues affecting the various social classes. A
hundred years later, Pope John Paul II revisited the same issues in Centesimus
The U.S. bishops also repeatedly address the issue of work with
their Labor Day statements. In last year's statement, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick
of Washington, D.C., chairman of the bishops' Domestic Policy Committee, emphasized:
"Work should strengthen our family life, providing resources and respect, benefits
and health care for families. Work should enhance our family, community and
spiritual lives. Work should allow a family to live in dignity."
He added, "As we perform our work, our contribution to the continuation
of God's creation, we need to recognize that even the simplest thing we do can
be a contribution to the common good. The decisions we make at work can in small
ways help shape the fabric and ethics of our society."
Doing Our Part
Work is an essential part of our lives. It is our responsibility
to make sure that every worker strives for and receives the dignity which he
or she deserves. Here are some ways we can do just that:
Take pride in the work that you do.
other workers—co-workers, salespeople, etc.—as you would like to be treated.
informed about bills being introduced in Congress that affect workers, and make
your thoughts about them heard. For instance, the Fair Minimum Wage Act of
2003 has been introduced in both the House and Senate. Read up on this bill
and then write your congressional representatives to urge them to support the

of the U.S. bishops' Committee for Social Development and

that, while work is an important part of your life, it is not the only part.
Don't forget to stop and enjoy the other important aspects of your life such
as family, friends, hobbies, sports and leisure activities.

Next Month: The Original Animal Worker
Teens: Make the Most of Your Work
Many of you may be just starting out in the workforce. Others may have been working in some capacity, such as babysitting, for a while now. And, of course, all of you work as students.
One complaint I often hear from teens is that most of the jobs available to
themfast-food restaurants, grocery stores, paper routes,
babysitting, etc.don't make much of a difference. I
beg to differ. Regardless of what your job is, even if it
is simply attending school, there is dignity and worth in
what you are doing. When you serve people in a drive-thru,
you are providing a service they could not get without you.
You are also learning valuable skills such as responsibility,
time management, listening, customer service, etc., that will
help you throughout your life.
No matter what you work at, take pride in your work. If you babysit, pay extra attention to the kids you are watching. In school make sure your assignments are completed thoroughly and neatly and on time. Remember, your work is definitely worthwhile.
Kids: What I Want to Be When I Grow Up
Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to be a writer. I used to write stories about make-believe monsters and exciting adventures. Do you know what you want to be when you grow up? Maybe you want to be a teacher, police officer, doctor, singer or baseball player.
Find or draw pictures of people doing that profession. Make a collage of the pictures. Talk to an adult who works in that profession. For instance, talk to a police officer about what he or she does on the job and the schooling and training required for that job.
Also, think about why you want to be in a certain profession. If you like helping people when they're sick, maybe you should consider being a doctor or nurse. If you like teaching people things, maybe teaching is in your future.
Do you have ideas or suggestions for topics you'd like to see
addressed in this column? If so, send them to me at Faith-filled
Family, 28 W. Liberty Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202-6498, or
e-mail them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

A large part of being a technology coordinator is managing technology. Technology coordinators are ultimately responsible for entire networks, hundreds of computers and printers, and a host of other assorted electronic devices. Besides keeping track of all the technology, a technology coordinator is also expected to conduct and maintain training and training schedules, attend technology meetings, help with grants and funding, introduce technology-integrated curriculum, fix and upgrade computers, install software, troubleshoot networks, etc., etc. Where to begin?
While many schools today are struggling to understand and implement technology, a real lack of understanding for the technology coordinator position is apparent. In many cases, an already too busy teacher, administrator, or media specialist with intermediate or advanced computer skills, volunteers, does double-duty, or is mandated to fill the role of technology coordinator. Thanks to these hard-working professionals though, many schools have forged ahead and have implemented a technology-rich environment.
So, how is the role of a technology coordinator defined? How do they organize and manage large networks and all of the many resources? Perhaps one place to begin is with an overview of technology management and organization. First we could start with a job description of a technology cordinator

By Dominque Stevenson
This question is not one that we ask ourselves every day, but it arose during a recent session of the Maryland Peace with Justice (MPJ) Program's Friend of a Friend project in the Maryland Correctional Training Center (MCTC).
The Friend of a Friend group consists of mentors and mentees, with the mentors teaching appropriate behaviors and values to help mentees deal more effectively with conflict. The men work hard on personal development and growth.
During a recent session, group participants were involved in a conversation about what it means to be a "man." This led to a larger debate about gender roles and masculinity. When MPJ volunteer Bashi Rose offered the opinion that being a man meant showing love, the conversation shifted abruptly.
A young man we will call E asked, "How do you show love." Participants discussed demonstrations of love from different perspectives, but they never really defined love. The next question led me into serious contemplation well after the session ended. E asked, "What is love?"
Many of us at AFSC invoke the word "love" in our work, but I wonder how often we contemplate what love really means. I feel that I am guided by love every time I go inside a prison, but I admit that anger has sometimes sparked me to become active as well. The language that the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) uses to describe the motivation for our work is quite eloquent, but it does not help me answer the question. So, after the session, I wrote to my colleagues throughout AFSC and asked them: "What is love?" These are some of the responses I received:
"Love is really our expression of human cooperation, not just on a tangible level, but it is our finding a way to cooperate spiritually, physically and emotionally with what we are given and those we encounter."
"The best definition I've ever heard is, 'an extreme situation of appreciation.'"
"First Corinthians"
"Love is the impulse at the very core of each emotion we feel to help or cherish other beings, our own selves, or our world."
"Love is a verb and therefore, is an action as much as it is a feeling."
"Love is what binds together that which has been torn asunder. It operates in the spiritual realm the way gravity operates in the physical realm."
"In the end 'it' keeps me going."
I don't often take the time to define love, but I feel it all around me at all times. I have had good people in my life who have taught me things because they loved me. My grandmother, Loretta, who was a woman with little financial resources but a lot of intelligence and mother wit, taught me hope at a time when I had very little. The men I work with at MCTC and other prisons, men who never take their eyes off the prize of freedom, have taught me faith. Being a parent has taught me about charity, which to me is equivalent to sacrifice. The sum total of these is love, and that is how I live love.
These are the things that I shared with E, and I hope they help him in his quest for personal development and growth. In his quest to define "love."

"To think that we know and understand all risks around us is misleading, to think we can manage all of them if they hit us is an illusion, to turn a blind eye to them is sheer foolishness."
Risk management function in banks has come a long way and has evolved significantly in current times: from being solely the responsibility of an independent unit assessing risk to becoming a credit culture that needs to be embodied by all. There is increased focus on the mechanisms for the quantification and communication of risks at multiple levels: individuals within organisations, organisational units, the institution as a whole, and moreover, the entire financial system. This makes risk management an integral and necessary part of all corporates that are exposed to domestic and cross-border risks.

Ryan Biggerstaff of Monitoring talks about air pollution at the Village Green Bench on Think Green Thursday, one of the Myriad Children's Garden Weekly Walk-Ups, 10 to noon.
Kanan Patel and his mom change the air quality flag from green for good to yellow for moderate at the Village Green Bench at the Myriad Children's Garden.

DEQ visitor parking has been moved across Robinson Avenue to the east of the DEQ building. The space north of headquarters will now hold state vehicles. New signs mark these changes.
What is air quality?
The amount of pollution in the air from all sources - natural and human - defines the quality of the air we breathe. Air pollution isn't limited to our cities; it can blow into any part of Oklahoma from neighboring states.
Why is it important?
Bad air quality can affect everybody's health. It can have direct effects on the lungs, and it can worsen an existing condition, such as asthma. Some people are more sensitive to air pollution than others. These include young children who are growing rapidly and older adults who have reduced immune systems.
Poor public health also incurs economic costs for society, e.g., increased healthcare costs and loss of working days. And a clean environment makes Oklahoma an attractive place to live, work and play: something we can all be proud of.
What does the Air Quality Division do?
Most importantly, we work to effectively protect the public health in Oklahoma. We do this by:
Monitoring the air quality across Oklahoma and warning and advising the public when conditions could be hazardous to their health. Oklahomans can then avoid or reduce their exposure to air pollution, as well as helping to clean the air.
Implementing the state and federal Clean Air Acts to reduce emissions and improve air quality in Oklahoma. AQD recommends adoption of Air Quality Rules and operates regulatory programs that realistically balance the needs of all the state's stakeholders.
Providing useful air quality information and resources to the public and to regulated industries.
Responding quickly to public concerns and complaints about air quality.
