The Best Chinese Food in Hong Kong at Lung King Heen, Four Seasons Hotel
Hong Kong may be the world's hottest culinary destination. We've waxed poetic about the new Nobu at the InterContinental and Pierre Restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental, but there's another player on the scene in this culinary capital. What other luxurious establishment has attracted a superstar chef? The Four Seasons, widely hailed as the first major hotel to open in Hong Kong in 15 years. You'll find the city's best contemporary Cantonese cuisine at Lung King Heen (View of the Dragon). Using only the freshest local ingredients, renowned chef Chan Yan Tak creates innovative dishes which combine French and Southeast Asian touches. Commanding spectacular harbour views, the environment is modern and stylish. Silver and glass accents replicate the glitter of Hong Kong's skyline at night. Dim sum here is not to be missed.
A Mirage in the Outback: Sails in the Desert Hotel at Uluru (Ayers Rock)
It's hard to believe that there's a five-star oasis in the middle of the harsh Australian Outback, perched in the shadow of Uluru (Ayers Rock), Australia's famous natural icon. Sails in the Desert is just what its name indicates: a sumptuous hotel that appears like sails rising from the landscape. At this award-winning hotel, beautiful rooms are decorated with Aboriginal Art and outfitted with private balconies. Sip cocktails by the pool (or in your Jacuzzi), or try your hand at a game of tennis on one of two courts. The restaurant serves up elegant plates with an Aboriginal twist. Indeed, the hotel celebrates Aboriginal heritage and culture in all of its decor; the lobby gallery even features the works of artists in residence.

Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts has partnered with Monte Xanic, one of Mexico's top winemakers, to build an exclusive vineyard resort there. The first luxury spa resort of its kind in the region, the new Banyan Tree will feature 40 pool villas nestled in the midst of the Monte Xanic vineyards. No word yet on an opening date.

The fundamental challenge for health care reform in the United States is to expand access to all US residents, while rapidly reengineering the delivery system to provide consistently high-quality care at lower overall cost. Current reform discussions recognize that success will require a shift in emphasis from fragmentation to coordination and from highly specialized care to primary care and prevention.
One prominent model of delivery system reform is the patient-centered medical home (PCMH). Crafted by the primary care professional organizations in 2007, the model has been endorsed by a broad coalition of health care stakeholders, including all of the major national health plans, most of the Fortune 500 companies, consumer organizations and labor unions, the American Medical Association, and a total of 17 specialty societies.1 Currently, 22 multistakeholder demonstration pilot projects are under way in 14 states, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will conduct Medicare demonstration pilot projects in 400 practices in 8 regional sites in 2009.2,3 Twenty bills promoting the PCMH concept have been introduced in 10 states.4

UNSCRIPTED and, for the majority of the congregation, unexpected, the loud, raucous and unmistakable sound of Liverpool fans in full voice filled the cathedral, the chant louder and clearer, until, with one voice, it became You'll Never Walk Alone.
Inside a packed St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds yesterday, as Peel's coffin was slowly carried up the aisle to Fergal Sharkey's modern masterpiece, shouts, cheers and a burst of applause could be heard from the 500-strong crowd listening in the cold and wet outside.
At the service, his fellow DJ Paul Gambaccini addressed Peel in his coffin and said: "You caught people at their most impressionable and their most emotional and gave them what mattered most to them, and they remembered it. Then you did it for the next generation."
Peel's talent as a broadcaster, a lover and explorer of music and his ability to share it with others were just some of the reasons so many had gathered to mourn him. But it was a mark of his family and friends' ability to share this "ordinary man" with others that made his funeral so special.
Many of those whose careers he had helped forge gathered in the cavernous interior of the 16th-century building to say their final goodbyes. They included Sharkey, the lead singer of the Undertones, the White Stripes and Jarvis Cocker, of Pulp. Elton John, who could not be there, sent yellow roses with the message: "Thank you for all the great music. You were a hero for so many, love Elton".
Fellow DJs from his 37-year career at Radio 1 - Gambaccini, Jo Whiley, Annie Nightingale and Mark Radcliffe - were among the 860 mourners. Comedians Gryff Rhys Jones and Phil Jupitus had gone to pay their respects as had "Whispering" Bob Harris, from the Old Grey Whistle Test and the rock star Robert Plant.
In a moving and at times hilarious service, his friends spoke of a witty family man who embraced life to the full.
Still addressing Peel's coffin, Gambaccini said: "You've broken more artists than any broadcaster in the history of radio."
He said the Liverpool-born and Liverpool-loving DJ had been the first to play the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and recalled how he had a picture of the footballer Kenny Dalglish on his studio wall with the words, "God - A likeness".
Gambaccini said that, after realising that "really, the management weren't listening" Peel had begun his ground-breaking midnight-2am slot at Radio 1 playing what he loved and had taken three generations with him.
To applause from the throng listening to the service on a PA system outside, he said: "We all know that there is a little less decency and a lot less music. For the last time, I say thanks, John."
From his thrice-weekly slots on Radio 1 to his Saturday morning Radio 4 programme, Home Truths, Peel always took his family into the lives of his listeners. Yesterday, they returned the favour, by leaving his friends and fans, many of whom were wearing red ties or scarfs in tribute to Peel's love of Liverpool FC, with stories of the man they knew.
His brother, Alan, paid tribute to the family man he loved and recalled how Peel looked after him when their parents divorced and once gave him a sound piece of advice about sex. To laughter, he said: "He told me, 'do remember that girls like it, too'."
He said that Peel's wife, Sheila, and their four children had been touched and strengthened by the e-mails, letters, flowers and tributes that had "flooded in to Peel Acres" the pink 17th- century farmhouse in Great Finsborough where he lived and worked.
One of the most moving tributes came from Peel's children, William, 28, "Dandra", 26, Thomas, 24, and Flossie, 22. Filled with the sort of humour for which their father was famous, it recalled life chez-Peel, the shambolic domestic bliss they shared and how much he meant to them.
Read by Charlie Bell, a family friend, it began with an apology that they could not read it themselves as they suffered from a trait inherited from their father which made them "weep uncontrollably" at such occasions.
They recalled how their mother had given Peel pocket money for 26 years and his delight, at the age of 55, when he opened his first bank account - he went out and bought a 1963 Chevrolet.
They also told of Peel being sent out to buy night lights for the children's bedrooms, only to return with flashing disco lights. He was a hoarder, they said, who kept odd things, from 36 years of "mum's shopping lists" to Kid Jensen's postcards. "His collection of 2 coins which he gathered is going to pay for his gravestone."
The Peel offspring said their father had been happier than ever in the months before his death. The birth of his grandson, earlier this year, had been an occasion of great joy - he had wept uncontrollably then, too. They said they were proud that "he meant so much to so many" and ended by thanking their parents for bringing them up in the way they did. "We loved him very much and will miss him immeasurably," they said.
By the time Teenage Kicks thundered out of the speakers, the congregation, many in tears, were already on their feet. His coffin, carpeted in velvet-soft red roses and held aloft by pall-bearers, was followed by his wife, her head down, holding on to one of her sons for support. They were followed by the other three children, holding hands.
As he disappeared from view, for the last time, there was a heartfelt burst of applause - a thanks for everything.

In retirement, she volunteered for Meals on Wheels, High Plains Food Bank and HOSTS. She was faithful to visit and encourage the sick and others in need. She often provided meals and housekeeping for friends and members of her congregation when she learned of a need. She was love on the move into her 91st year.
The family would like to express its thanks and commendation to BSA Hospice and Riverstone Assisted Living for their thoughtful and compassionate care during Johnnie's journey home.

If things break a certain way, the Texans could be a game out with five to play. Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants if the Texans ended up making the playoffs after all the bad stuff that has happened this season. Let's face it, they're capable of beating almost any team in the league when they take care of their own business, and there's no team left on the schedule that should scare them.
Now about Sunday. Brian Cushing had a huge game. So did Arian Foster. And there's your formula for winning. Never mind that the Titans are a crippled team. The Texans have proven they can play with any team in the league when they take care of their own business.
Part of that business begins with their best players being at their best. The Texans have reduced their margin of error to almost zero, and with games against the Eagles, Ravens and Titans still ahead, the Texans are a very longshot to make the playoffs.
But they're capable. That's the key. They should have beaten the Jets and Chargers. They probably should have beaten the Jags. Could have and should have separates the good teams from all the others. At least Sunday was a start.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Alabama - Three gunmen robbed an illegal gambling establishment in Jefferson County Sunday night, forcing the owner and employees to the floor and binding them with Duct tape.
Not only did the business get robbed, it got shut down as well.
Jefferson County sheriff's deputies were called to the 1300 block of Eastern Valley Road about 1:30 a.m. on a report of a robbery. When lawmen arrived, they learned the robbery had actually happened two hours before but the victims were hesitant to call because of the nature of the business.
Chief Deputy Randy Christian gave this account: The owner about 10 p.m. let three men into the business to play the electronic gaming machines. There were already six other people playing the machines. The owner and other employees were in a front room watching football on television.
One of the men came out of the back room, complaining it was too hot. When the owner got up, the man pulled a gun and demanded money. The other two men joined in searching for money.
They found a shotgun which they held on patrons and the owner. They also found three money bags and emptied the contents into a plastic bag. They fled the scene.
The owner waited for two hours before he called in the robbery. He told deputies he had considered not reporting it at all.
Deputies about 11:30 a.m. today went back to the business to remove the illegal machines. An investigation into the illegal gaming is underway.
"I am sure we have a lot of these type robberies that go unreported because of the nature of the business,'' Christian said. "The bad guys know there will be cash there and that there is a good chance law enforcement will not hear about it."
"We appreciate this owner realizing that it needed to be reported regardless of the consequences,'' he said. "That gives us a chance to catch these guys before they hurt someone or get themselves killed."

Pediatric obesity is one of the most important health concerns today. Obesity can lead to other diseases including type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. These other conditions used to be seen in only adults with obesity, but physicians are now seeing these "adult" diseases in obese children and adolescents.
Graphic Jump Location
The best treatments for prevention and treatment of obesity are a balanced diet and exercise. In some cases of extreme obesity when diet and exercise have failed, bariatric surgery is considered as a treatment. There are 2 types of bariatric surgery.
In a gastric bypass, the surgeon cuts some of the stomach off to make a smaller stomach pouch. This pouch becomes the "new" stomach. The surgeon then connects that pouch directly to the middle part of the small intestine. The early part of the small intestine is "bypassed" and not used any more. After gastric bypass surgery, the stomach is much smaller so the patient takes in less food to feel full. Since part of the intestine is bypassed, fewer calories from the food are absorbed.
Advantages of this approach in surgery are that initial weight loss is often greater with bypass surgery. However, because it is a major surgery, patients can have complications and need longer to recover. This surgery can also lead to vitamin deficiencies since part of the intestine that absorbs vitamins is no longer being used. Also, this surgery is permanent and cannot be reversed.
In this type of surgery, a band, often called a lap band, is put around the top part of the stomach. This band tightens around the stomach and creates a pouch at the top of the stomach so that the patient feels full with less food.
Advantages of this surgery are that it does not cause vitamin deficiencies and it can be reversed. The band is adjustable and removable. However, people sometimes do not lose as much weight with this surgery compared with bypass, and the band may need to be replaced at a later time, which would require another surgery.
It is difficult to decide which adolescents would benefit from this type of surgery. This is a decision that must involve the patient, his or her family, physicians, nutritionists, and often psychologists. An adolescent who is considering this surgery is extremely overweight and has not been able to lose weight through diet and exercise but is both healthy enough and mature enough for the surgery. The adolescent also needs to understand that the surgery is not a quick fix; it will lead to a different lifestyle afterward. After recovering from the surgery, the adolescent will need to participate in and monitor diet and exercise and take medicines and possibly vitamins, as well as continue to have careful follow-up by a physician.

>I try to install a octane from a network server to a clean disk
You need to partition the disk first.
>- do I have to use formated disk in my octane before boing the
>install ? and if yes how can I perfom that without any OS on my octane ?
Normally you would boot from CD, and the install program would notice
that you did not have partitions set up and would offer to set them
up for you.
As you are trying to do this over the network, what you probably need
to do is boot from the "standalone fx". Look in the place you copied
the volume header to, for files named sash64 and fx.64 .
you need to boot from fx.64 but you might need to boot sash64 in
order to be able to reference fx.64 ... and until you have sash64
loaded you might not be able to reference sash64 over the network.
Sorry, it's been years since I last worked at that level so I no
longer recall all the tricks. nekochan has users who would know
this stuff better than I.

Barriers and Antidotes to Healthy Relationships
Romans 12:5 "Christ makes us one body and individuals who are connected to each other." (God's Word Translation)
For the past month we have been involved in "40 Days of Community." The goal of our study has been to build healthy relationships in order to deepen the community life in our church family so together we can make a greater impact upon our surrounding community.
We have learned that we fellowship better together, we grow better together, we serve better together, we worship better together and we reach out better together.
Whether you are single, married, divorced, have a nuclear or a blended family you need to build healthy relationships. I want to present several barriers to building healthy relationships and give a key factor in breaking through each barrier.
You will see in your notes on the back flap of the worship folder the four barriers and four attitudes that build relationships.
The first barrier to building healthy relationships is self-centeredness.
James 4:1-2 – "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God."
James is talking about self-centeredness when he wrote: "You want something, but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight." Self-centered and selfish desires seem to be inborn in children. Children often verbalize – "I want what I want, when I want it." It's human nature to be selfish.
In the October 27th Daily Bread Elisa Morgan, president of MOPS (Mothers of Pre-Schoolers) gives insight into a child's world – Toddler's Creed
If I want it, it's mine. If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine.
If I can take it away from you, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine, it will never belong to anyone else, no matter what.
If we are building something together, all the pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine, it is mine.
Many relationships start out okay but over time selfish attitudes can develop.
Dennis & Barbara Rainey in their book Staying Close suggest there are several stages in marriage.
The first year: "Baby darling, I'm worried about that sniffle. So I've called the paramedics to rush you to the Hospital for a checkup and a week of rest. And I know you don't like hospital food, so I'm having gourmet meals brought in for you." That's the first year.
Second year of a marriage: "Sweetheart, I don't like the sound of that cough. I've arranged for Dr. Knotts to make a house call. Let me tuck you in bed."
Third year of a marriage: "You look like you've got a fever. Why don't you drive yourself over to Walgreens, get some medicine, I'll watch the kids." You know, very caring.
Fourth year: "Look, be sensible. After you've fed and bathed the kids, washed the dishes, you really ought to go to bed."
Fifth year: "For Pete's sake, do you have to cough so loud? I can't hear the TV. Would you mind going into the other room while this show is on? You sound like a barking dog." One guy said, "You know, in the first year of marriage, my wife used to bring me my slippers and the dog came barking. Now my dog brings me slippers."
Selfish attitudes torpedo healthy family relationships.
I read a story this week that illustrates the consequences of selfish attitudes.
A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package; what food might it contain? He was aghast to discover that it was a mousetrap! Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning, "There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house." The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me; I can't be bothered."
The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, "Like wow, Mr. Mouse, a mouse trap; am I in grave danger, Duh?" So the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.
His wife's sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.
The answer to selfishness is having an attitude that is others centered. Being others centered builds healthy relationships. Having the attitude of "less of me and more of you" helps you win friends and influence people.
Galatians 6:7-8 "The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others - ignoring God! --- harvests a crop of weeds. All he'll have to show for it in his life is weeds. But the one who plants in response to God, letting God's Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life and eternal life." (Message)
The more we are focused on encouraging and helping others the less we think about ourselves. Paul wrote in Galatians 5:16, "Live freely, animated and motivated by God's Spirit, then you won't feed the compulsion of selfishness." (Message)
Our natural tendency is to look out for number one. As we surrender to the Holy Spirit we allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us to become more others centered and selfless in our outlook on life.
Self centered attitudes destroy relationships, but being others centered builds healthy relationships.
Pride often leads to a critical and judgmental attitude. Proverbs 16:18 describes the consequences of having pride, "Pride will destroy a person. A proud attitude leads to ruin." (New Century Version) The Message gives this paraphrase of Proverbs 16:18, "First pride then the crash, the bigger the ego, the harder the fall."
What causes a person to have a critical attitude? A critical attitude often emerges because you can't stand for anyone to get ahead of you. You are jealous. You take comfort in finding fault with others to better forget your own faults.
In many cases when a person gossips and criticizes someone they do not have all the facts and give unjust criticism.
A London news paper relayed the story of a pastor facing slander. It was told that his wife was attending a certain meeting, and the minister went there in a rage, used violence and dragged his wife from the hall and compelled her to go home with him.
When the story reached the Pastor he relayed to his congregation the facts one Sunday morning. "This story is quite impossible he said. In the first place, I never attempt to influence my wife in her views nor in her choice of company. Second, my wife did not attend the meeting in question. In the third place, I did not go near the meeting myself. To conclude, neither my wife nor I had any inclination to go to the meeting. Finally, I have no wife."
Pride destroys relationships, but humility builds healthy relationships. Jesus modeled servant leadership. He led with humility.
Having the attitude of humility builds healthy relationships. Philippians 2:3, 5-6 (NLT) says, "…Be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves…your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God."
In John 13 Jesus took on the role of a servant and washed the feet of His disciples. In effect Jesus was saying, "As you have observed what I have done so I want you to do. When I'm no longer around I want you to continue to serve one another."
I Peter 3:8 "Live in harmony. Be sympathetic. Love each other. Have compassion, and be humble." (God's Word Translation) When you possess an attitude of humility you are not ashamed to admit when you're wrong and say, "I'm sorry."
# Many years ago a Christian professor Stuart Blackie of the University of Edinburgh had to make a humble apology. He was listening to his students as they presented oral readings. When one young man rose to begin a recitation, he held his book in the wrong hand. The professor thundered, "Take your book n your right hand, and be seated!" At this harsh rebuke, the student held up his right arm. He didn't have a right hand! The other students shifted uneasily in their chairs.
For a moment the professor hesitated. Then he made his way to the student, put his arm around him, and with tears streaming from his eyes, said, "I never knew about it. Please, will you forgive me?" His humble apology made a lasting impact on that young man.
This story was told some time later in a large gathering of believers. At the close of the meeting a man came forward, turned to the crowd, and raised his right arm. It ended at the wrist. He said, "I was that student. Professor Blackie led me to Christ. But he never could have done it if he had not made the wrong right."
Do you want to conquer pride and a critical spirit? Choose your friends carefully. You tend to become like the people you spend time with, grumpy or happy. Spend time with Jesus. Jesus will change your way of thinking and make you into a new person. A humble person…
Self-centered attitudes destroy relationships but attitudes of selflessness build healthy relationships.
Pride destroys relationships, but humility builds relationships.
A third attitude that destroys relationships is insecurity.
Proverbs 29:25 (Message) "The fear of human opinion disables."
When you fear the opinions of other people you try to control people and that destroys healthy relationships.
Fear of rejection is a deep fear that destroys relationships. You may think, "Someone may hurt me once, but never again – a strong wall is built."
You may have been rejected in the past by a teacher, a boy or girl friend, a parent or co-worker. Jesus understands rejection. Jesus understands how you feel.
In Christ you can have positive self awareness and positive self acceptance. To God you have great value. You were not created to be someone else. God appreciates you and wants you to feel good about yourself.
From several Scripture verses we have great promises. Here is a summary of Isaiah 43:4, Jeremiah 31:3 and Isaiah 49:16.
"You are precious and honored in my sight and I love you. I have loved you with an everlasting love…I have engraved your name on the palm of my hands."
Love is the answer to insecurity. Genuine authentic love builds healthy relationships. I John 4:18 (NLT) says, "Love has no fear because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid…it shows that his love has not been perfected in us."
In your own strength you cannot love, but you can love with God's love. Jesus gave dignity to all men. He looks at every person through the eyes of love and compassion. Jesus didn't see a man's shabby coat, his defects in speech. Jesus said of a scorned, renegade tax collector, "Zacchaeus also is the son of Abraham."
Jesus treated people with dignity. Jesus was courteous to a woman other good people ostracized. When Jesus invited himself to the house of Zacchaeus he knew he would lose the respect of others, but that didn't matter. Jesus was interested in restoring the man's long-vanished self-respect. Because Zacchaeus welcomed Jesus into his home and his heart,--- Jesus said, "Salvation has come to this house today." Luke 19:9
Self-centered attitudes destroy relationships.
Self-less attitudes builds healthy relationships.
Pride destroys relationships.
Humility builds healthy relationships.
Insecurity destroys relationships.
Genuine love builds healthy relationships.
God's love gives you self acceptance and self confidence.
A fourth barrier to healthy relationships is "resentment." Resentment destroys relationships.
Job 5:2 (Today's English Version) "To worry yourself to death with resentment is a foolish, senseless thing to do."
You cannot afford to allow resentment to eat away at your soul like cancer. Learn to show love to EGR people (Extra Grace Required). Some people are like sand-paper. They do all they can do to make your life miserable. So what do you do? Sweep the irritation under the rug. "No," confront the person in love. To do nothing quickly turns their problem into your problem. You become resentful.
When you become resentful you stop thinking clearly. Your logic goes out the door and you don't think rationally. Remember resentment doesn't hurt the other person, it only hurts you. It's like shooting yourself with a shotgun to hit the person with the kick of the recoil. Resentment causes you to get all tied up inside while the other person is as happy as a clam.
Resentment is self-defeating. The Psalmist stated a truth in Psalm 73:21-22 (New American Bible) "Since my heart was embittered (resentful) and my soul deeply wounded, I was stupid and could not understand."
The antidote to resentment is forgiveness.
Forgiveness builds healthy relationships. Colossians 3:13, "You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others."
Forgiveness is a gift from the Lord. You can only forgive someone who has hurt you and caused you pain with the help of the Lord. Only with God at work in you can you forgive and let go of pain and your right to get even. The risen Lord says, "Give me all your burdens and cares because I care for you." I Peter 5:7
If you have been wandering in the desert of resentment allow the Lord to turn your desert into an oasis. Isaiah 43:18-19 (God's Word Translation) "The Lord says, 'Forget what happened before and do not think about the past. I am going to do something new…I will make rivers on dry land."
As Christ followers we want to build healthy relationships-
Overcome selfish attitudes with selfless attitudes
Overcome pride with humility
Turn insecurity into authentic love by possessing self
acceptance and self confidence
Overcome resentment with forgiveness.
This week let's all build healthy relationships – let's model servant leadership.

The Department of Modern Languages and Literature at The University of Texas-Pan American will be offering Beginning German I next semester - the first time since fall 1997.
"We added this course because we feel that German will be a strategic language for our students to know as Germany continues to experience economic growth and interdependence with trade blocs in the Americas," said Dr. Glenn Martinez, associate professor of Spanish.
Dr. Edith Vandervoort, assistant professor of French and German, is heading up the reinstated program. She also teaches the course, German Identity through Literature - MCLL 2301, which has served to incite student interest in the language and culture.
"The course is also helpful for students who are majoring in international business," Vandervoort said. "Graduate students may also find it beneficial."
The new language course -GERM 1331.01- will be offered in the spring on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11:45 a.m.-12:35 p.m.
The department will offer Beginning German II in fall 2005 and plans to add intermediate German courses in the future and extracurricular opportunities as student demand grows. For more information on the German course, call the Department of Modern Languages and Literature at 956/318-5381.

Leadership and Civic Engagement Minor
The leadership and civic engagement minor is an academic program available to undergraduate students who are interested in developing their skills as a leader in their field of study or as a student leader within the university community. We offer eight 3-credit courses designed to provide additional educational opportunities, which supplement degree programs and support the growth of civically engaged leaders needed in the global community.
All students and community members are welcome to enroll in the 200 level classes without pursuing the minor. The minor is administered and taught by student affairs staff. All classes are housed in the Greenspun College of Urban Affairs and are listed with PUA course numbers. The LCE minor is a separate program from the PUA major and these eight classes do not count towards the PUA major.
The LCE minor can benefit any major of study by heightening awareness and developing leadership skills. Add a minor with major impac. Join the LCE minor today.

For the Posners of Saugus, Calif., the fight to beat multiple sclerosis is a family affair.
Karla Posner, 47, and one of her four children, Samantha, 17, both have MS, as it's more commonly known, a potentially crippling disease that attacks the central nervous system causing numbness and pain, but can be controlled with medication. Posner's older sister and one of her sisters-in-law also battle MS.
"I say, 'I may have MS, but MS doesn't have me,'" Karla said.
That's why the Posners are taking the battle to the Rose Bowl Sunday, April 19, when they'll join an estimated 5,000-6,000 other Southern Californians also determined to defeat MS by helping to raise funds to find a cure.
The "Walk MS" event is just one of many fundraisers organized around the country this spring by the nonprofit National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
MS is not contagious, and while there's no evidence MS is inherited, studies indicate that genetic factors could make some people more susceptible, according to the society.
What's contagious is the Posner family's refusal to let MS dominate their lives.
"I cannot let MS take over my life - I have a husband and four kids to take care of," Karla said.
Both mother and daughter credit much of their positivism to the unflagging support of their large immediate and extended family, starting with Karla's husband Dave, 47, a claims manager for a large commercial insurance agency in Woodland Hills, and their three other children, Jessica, 23, Robbie, 21, and Kimmee, 10.
"While Karla and Samantha are the ones with MS, this is a family illness, affecting each and every one of us," Dave said. "Our children have basically grown up with this disease."
"My family has been great -- they are very patient and very helpful," said Karla, who learned from her doctors she had MS 16 years ago, while pregnant with Samantha.
"I started to go numb but we just thought it was the baby," Karla said. "A year later I went numb and went to the doctor, but the feeling never came back. It was MS."
"When Karla was diagnosed, we were pretty scared," Dave said. "We all went through a lot, learning how to deal with it. However, early on we decided this was a condition we, as a family, would simply deal with."
"I was very depressed at first," Karla said. "I was put on an injectible medication and it made me feel like I had the flu for six months. I went off the medication (Betaseron) 10 years ago and had another child and eveyone was great. The pregnancy was great but I had to go back on the medication when Kimmee was two weeks old so I wouldn't get any more (numbness) episodes."
Eventually, Karla was able to control the disease's worst symptoms with her daily injections, but it's not the perfect solution.
"I still have some good days and some bad days, days when my hands are very numb and I can't get hold of a pen, or when my right leg gets very tingly like when it's falling alseep, or my left side goes numb," she said.
Posner is thankful her medical regimen allows her to carry on her life, which includes her work as an assistant program coordinator for a day community program for mentally handicapped adults. The SCV branch of All People's Access Community Services, a nonprofit organization funded by the state and county, runs the local program.
"We teach them money skills, shopping skills, mobility and writing skills, and keep them very busy," she said.
Along with multiple sclerosis, Samantha Posner shares her mother's indominable spirit and support of her family.
"I was diagnosed on June 4, 2006," said Samatha, a student at Saugus High School who is also finishing up studies at a cosmetology school. "I had always known my mom had the disease, but never really understood what it was until I was diagnosed. I started with numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. I was in denial for a very long time. For months, I didn't want anyone to know I had it, or know anything about it. I was convinced they would associate my name with the disease - that I would no longer be Sam, but 'Sam with MS.'
"My family assured me they would help me throughout all of it, and they continue to show their support every day," she said. "Once I started my (Betaseron) treatments and began exercising more and trying to be healthier, my numbness went away. Now I have no known symptoms of the disease. It's amazing, and I am so thankful."
Samantha has become less self-conscious about peers knowing she has MS. "I started to tell more and more people about the disease, and then eased into telling them I had been diagnosed with it," she said. "I now talk openly about it, knowing that the more knowledge people receive about MS, the more they will be willing to help, and the greater chance for a cure."
The Posners have walked the 5K course in and around the Rose Bowl the past two years. For their third outing, they've signed up on the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Web site, adopted a name for their family team, MS Fits, and Jessica has put together a team Web page.
Right now, the Posners are enlisting an army of supporters to visit the family's page, get information about Walk MS, sign up as MS Fits sponsors, make pledges and donations, and sign up to walk the walk at the Rose Bowl.
"It's so important for family and friends to participate at Walk MS because it shows knowledge of one's hardships, and appreciation for his or her strength," Samantha Posner said. "It demonstrates the willingness to understand more, and most importantly, the ability to move.
"People with multiple sclerosis know how important movement is," she said. "They long for the ability to feel, to run, to dance, to move. That is one feeling they will never take for granted. It's something those diagnosed with MS appreciate every day."
Samantha is excited about the upcoming Rose Bowl event. "Last year was wonderful, the year before was englightening," she said. "Both years my family attended were inspirational, motivational, and most of all, moving."
With the spirit of a cheerleader, she's inviting everyone she knows, whether they have MS or not. "Show support for your family, loved ones, or even a stranger who could use every ounce of motivation he/she can get. Walk MS!"
Leading up to the Rose Bowl event, the Posners have arranged a pair of fundraisers with two local restaurants.
!Una Mas! hosts one all day Thursday, April 2 at 26515 Golden Valley Road in Santa Clarita (near Rattler's in Centre Pointe).
Menchie's Frozen Yogurt at 26865 Sierra Highway in Newhall (corner of Via Princessa) has one set for Tuesday, April 14, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Mention "Walk MS" at !Una Mas! and present a flyer at Menchie's, and both restaurants will donate 15 percent of the cost of your food order to the MS Fits kitty.
It all adds up: Last year, "More than 200,000 walkers in nearly 600 locations covering all 50 states raised more than $61 million" for the war on MS, according to Marni Deckter, National Multiple Sclerosis Society spokeswoman.
"(Researchers) are working so hard to find a cure," Karla said. "I don't want my daughter to have to go through her adult life hoping she will have a good day!"

I am working on the problem of "Russian Caucasians." This paper is a preliminary attempt to examine the cultural identity of the Russian veterans who fought in the Caucasus in nineteenth century. The modern Russian term "Kavkazets", which is indiscriminately applied to the people of the Caucasus, was originally employed in absolutely different context. This term distinguished Russians themselves. Having spend years in the Caucasus Russian militaries and civil officials acquired certain elements of the local cultures, which were very distinguishable in the every day life. This raises the so-called problem of frontiers or Russian Orient.
Given that the deadline is December 14th, I'd appreciate any responses ASAP. If you are looking for a panel or a panel participant along these lines, please get in touch with me by E-mail or telephone. firstname.lastname@example.com (202)-368-0925.

We have been providing programs based on healthy food preparation, organic gardening, mentoring, peaceful resolutions to conflict, and environmental awareness. The Peace Gardens Program our latest began in Watts Ca. in 1997 with Foster children. Our programs have been offered to children in residential treatment facilities, Foster agencies, and schools in some of the poorest, highest crime areas of Los Angeles. Many children have been impacted by the programs. We are growing from a complete volunteer agency for almost 10 years to creating a few staff positions to help with our growth.

Reviews for The Green Team
I have had the pleasure of working with James Helliwell on his most recent on-going project. James is unique in that he allows the project to develop according to the needs of the people who will benefit from the services provided instead of following a personal agenda. He is passionate and compassionate, yet at the same time, his mission always includes the aspect of empowering the clients to help themselves. For example, giving children the responsibility of tending a garden or developing a homeless project that combines job training and development with cooperative living skills. He looks at the whole person and never sees limits within them. The respect he has for his clients - from youth to the aged - can only result in an increase in self-respect and a desire for a better life. I look forward to this latest plan coming to fruition.

I am too new to the organization to offer suggestions at this point.
The green team helped children who were neglect or forgotten to feel good about themselves. People like James Helliwell have made a difference demonstrating the passion they feel about changing these children's lives and giving of themselves to improve the life and perspective of the next generation.
I was very impressed with the dedication and motivation of the Green team staff, and especially Mr. Helliwell.

Mr. Helliwell taught children, and the public how to plant organically and to love the environment.

Provide more grants for them to continue their good work.
I have known James Helliwell both as a business professional and friend for over 20 years. I have worked with James in the "early days" when the organization was known as the Home Agriculture Foundation, creating sustainable agriculture in the Greater Los Angeles area for inner city families.
I have witnessed James work with both young individuals as well as the elderly. James is an extremely compassionalte "down-to-earth" role model, who possesses the experience and knowledge to associate in a positive manner with a diverse level of individuals. He possesses the ability to relate with at-risk youth, the elderly in need of assistance, and in general individuals who are in need of care to nurture, encourage, and educate these individuals.

I would encourage James to expand the organization.
The Green Team is an organization that nurtures our environment as well as our people. Their talent in working with out of school youth, prison reentry and the public, combined with their expertise in sustainability, home agriculture and organic farming is a winning combination. Their programs make our world a better place, give youth and others a way to be productive members of society and help build a sustainable world. James Helliwell's depth of expertise in agriculture and his commitment to youth and those at risk makes The Green Team an organization that can make a huge difference in our communities.

10 weird and unusual Motorola phone designs
0. phoneArena 08 Jun 2014, 20:58 posted on
Motorola sold lots of phones over the years, and some of them deserve to be remembered - at least for their unconventional design, if not for their functionality...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

1-9 look better than that one plastic phone that everyone hates…..
3. apple4never (Posts: 1064; Member since: 08 May 2013)
lol you just need a reason to hate samsung, now tell me what other brand is doing as good as samsung is in the phone department? ......thought so
4. Sauce (unregistered)
Who said anything about Samsung? LOLOLOLOL
12. apple4never (Posts: 1064; Member since: 08 May 2013)
its the most implied thing possible, now name me one "other" plastic phone that people always comment on about its build quality
21. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
He baits.
He could have been talking about 5C.
At least that makes more sense to me.
27. apple4never (Posts: 1064; Member since: 08 May 2013)
well the fact that he didn't reply tells me that he knows I'm right lol
29. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
What would have happen have he replied.... nothing.. that is why he did not reply...
30. steedsofwar (unregistered)
In fact, the Aura looks quite beautiful, even according to todays standards. Something to do with circle or disc like glass and metal.
5. Diezparda (Posts: 871; Member since: 23 Oct 2013)
That everyone hates? I don't hate plastic phones, i prefer plastic over aluminum phone. Plastic phone usually cheaper, lighter, better reception and i'm safe from being electrocuted.
6. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
You hate plastic as well as I do, but I love Galaxy phones as well as the ip5.

13. maherk (Posts: 3785; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)

17. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
I agree.. even for today standard that phone looks sooo "matrix" imo.. lol..
10. dtn_93 (Posts: 5; Member since: 08 Jun 2014)
What about the Motorola Backflip? It was a flip phone with a keyboard on the reverse side, that means it had a camera module on the same side as a keyboard.
14. sks1969 (Posts: 91; Member since: 04 Mar 2012)
I had the Moto ming, awesome phone. I had a passion for linux in those days. Linux in those days was awesome. With the likes of Google screwing the open source philosophy, having a Linux phone is no longer cool. Linux on phones lost it cool after Jolla. waiting for it to release world wide.
The Moto ming was one awesome design. Every module inside talks to another module over the PPP protocol sheer simplicity. :)
16. Nokia1100user (Posts: 19; Member since: 14 Aug 2013)
A friend who had the Flipout in high school earned the title of box-phone guy. And since it was a flashy orange color people would frown when he would take it out.
also where i'm from at the time, the Milestone was actually one of the top ten favorite smartphones of all geeks. i always wanted one but was too young to get a phone.
18. gigaraga (Posts: 1454; Member since: 29 Mar 2013)
Number 8 is quite nice, rotating style phone. Number 9 is awesome, kinda like what the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is, a point and shoot merged with a phone. Nice Motorola, I would've expect so more crazy design but these I can cope with.
19. sniperdroid (Posts: 146; Member since: 23 May 2013)
I had the V100 back in the day.
20. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
Startacs were kind of unusual with dual battery option back in the day.
Though they beat the heel out Moto 555 an the actual bricks they were replacing.
23. alumoyo (Posts: 358; Member since: 26 Aug 2013)
25. RandomUsername (Posts: 808; Member since: 29 Oct 2013)
I like these posts! Keep them coming, PA!
26. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
The Ming series had a cousin in the US known as the Krave, which launched on Verizon. I thought the touchscreen/flip combo was very cool back in the day, even if the execution was...uneven. That was the year Motorola came out with its last basic phones that really had effort put into them, like the VU30, which was very similar to the jewel phone above, except the jewel part was limited to its button design while the rest was just a smooth oval.
It wasn't long after that that Motorola launched full bore into the Cliq and the Droid instead.
28. ProblemSolver15 (Posts: 304; Member since: 14 Jun 2010)
The OG RAZR wasn't unusual when it first dropped? It sold like crazy, but I would put it on this list for sure. We had never seen anything like that at the time.
31. Peeyushmalik96 (Posts: 75; Member since: 08 Jun 2013)
PA forgot about the Motorola Backflip
32. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
The Motorola Devour should make that list too.
33. drav4o (Posts: 1; Member since: 10 Jun 2014)
The Aura is an awesome device and it still sells in Ebay for over $800 for a second hand phone. I had a testing sample for few months and I loved it. It's heavy and solid, scratch-resistant and you can just play with the flipping mechanism as much as you want without worrying to break it. Nice, reliable and unique device.. everything has the same shape nowadays..
34. 8logic (Posts: 148; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
I LOVED THE V80, it was and still is the coolest phone. i wish they make a touchscreen phone like that now lol

WARREN - Five people suffered injuries early Monday during a large fight over unpaid drug debts, police said. Two of those people suffered stab wounds and were taken to Trumbull Memorial Hospital's emergency room with non-life threatening injuries, police reports state.
Police said they are still sorting out details, including who had the knife, but matters were complicated because witnesses and those involved were intoxicated at the time.
The fight started about 4 a.m. at the corner of Elm Road and Paige Avenue N.E. because of the drug debt, police said. The details were unclear. No one has been charged with any crimes.
Some of those involved include people with criminal histories, including one man who has been convicted of more than 40 local crimes.
Reports state that Brandon Evans, 21, of Canton, and Christian T. Lampkin, 22, of 2225 Burton St. S.E., told officers they were stabbed during the fight. The two men were uncooperative with officers who tried to interview them about the stabbing at the hospital, reports state.
Lampkin, according to Tribune Chronicle archives, was convicted of obstructing official business and vehicle trespassing in October because a Fairmount Avenue N.E. man caught him rummaging through his car.
Lampkin was sentenced to probation until 2016. He had previously been convicted of receiving stolen property and theft in 2008 and burglary in 2010.
About the same time Lampkin and Evans went to the hospital, Ruby A. Ansman, 56, went to the police station and said she was hit in the face by a man she didn't know. Reports state that she had blood on her shirt from her bloodied nose and lip.
Officers later went back out to the area and found two more people, Kesa Hayes-Russell, 42, and Andre Ervin, 48, at 1109 Elm Road. Ervin told police he was attacked and officers noted a cut on his forehead and scratches on his face. He said he had been struck several times by two men he didn't know. Hayes-Russell was uninjured.
Ervin has been convicted of more than 40 crimes in the area, including one in February when he pleaded no contest to gross sexual imposition when accused of groping a 16-year-old girl walking to Warren G. Harding High School. He was sentenced to 60 days served in the county jail and probation.
He since has pleaded guilty to three different criminal trespassing charges.
Later, a sixth person, Charles Chamberlin, 36, reported he was in the fight and went to a home in the 600 block of Rex Boulevard. Police photographed his injuries and he said he planned to take himself to the hospital for evaluation.
Chamberlin, according to records, spent one year in prison after he was convicted in 2006 of felonious assault in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court. Chamberlin has also been convicted of theft and receiving stolen property in Warren Municipal Court.

Tuesday, April 29
Hello, my name is Kelly Drought. I am a senior in the Nutrition and Dietetics program here at NIU. I have decided to further my education and pursue a 4-year medical degree in naturopathic medicine. As a naturopathic doctor, I will integrate modern medicine with natural healthcare modalities and focus on whole-person wellness rather than only treating symptoms. I truly believe diet and nutrition is the foundation of health and I will use my nutrition knowledge to benefit my patients. As many of us are moving forward in our careers and education, Ellington's alumni day will be a special occasion that reminds us of all the good times spent at NIU. I invite you to join us on April 29th to be a part of this celebration and look forward to serving you and providing a memorable experience to all of our guests!
Hello everyone! My name is Afreen Papa and I am a senior at Northern Illinois University. I am a double major in Biology and Nutrition & Dietetics with a minor in Chemistry. I plan on going to medical school in the future and I want to use my nutrition background to be a better doctor. I think I will be able to use my nutrition background to educate people and make a difference in reducing the epidemic of obesity and related diseases that are prevalent in the United States. I am really excited for Ellington's alumni day and feel it's a great opportunity to celebrate Northern Illinois University and to thank Joan for being a great teacher, as I graduate and move towards a new future. Looking forward to seeing you on April 29th and hoping to provide a wonderful experience to all our guests!
Hi, my name is Brianne Durfey and I am a senior in the Nutrition and Dietetics program and will continue my studies in Exercise Physiology for my Master's here at NIU. My future goal is to help individuals and communities obtain a healthier lifestyle. In an effort to fight the growing epidemic of obesity, I specifically want to help children and adolescents. This day is very special for me in that it will be my last experience with FCNS 320. Being a part of the Teaching Assistant staff, I have been around this operation for the past three semesters and have gotten to know a lot of the other staff, as well as the students. I would like to thank Joan and Janie for giving us this opportunity to create this last, momentous experience. I hope that I will get the privilege to serve you with excellence and precision at A Walk Back In Time.
Hello, I'm Colin Martin and I'm a junior Hospitality major here at NIU. After graduation in the spring of 2015, I would love to work in the resort industry, and eventually run one of my own. It's a real pleasure to be able to experience this special alumni day and work with so many who have made this operation a success. I'm really excited and hope I can provide you with the same fun filled experience as it is for me and the rest of Ellington's staff. I welcome you all to come out and enjoy A Walk Back In Time with us and Mrs. Quinn on April 29th. See you there!

I am right there with you man... I was a former athlete as well and in prime condition in my 20s... you know, 20 years ago. haha
I found the motivation to make changes through support from friends, family, and my faith. It also helped going to my doctor and hearing that I had high blood pressure, was severely obese (like I didn't know that) and that if I didn't make any changes soon that my weight would catch up to me and likely kill me.
If you want to chat, want an accountability partner, anything I can do to help out, just let me know brother!

Margaret Mary J. Herron, 77, of Havertown, a shareholder relations representative for Philadelphia Suburban Corp., died Friday of pneumonia at Mercy Haverford Hospital.
For the last seven years, Mrs. Herron sold company stock directly to the public from corporate headquarters in Bryn Mawr, and also served as a service representative to stockholders. She previously was secretary to corporate secretary Ray Mysek.
``Peggy was a tireless, dedicated worker who always went the extra mile,'' Mysek said. ``Everyone who comes in to buy stock asks for Peggy. They considered her a friend.''
