Historical Traveler Reviews Brook Lane Hotel Kenmare
Really liked this hotel
we have stayed in many hotels around the country and felt that this was definitely one of our better experiences. We stayed in the Brooklane for 3 nights in May 06. The decor is lovely, the rooms are really big with lovely crisp duvets and nice furnishings. The staff (and owners) couldn't have been nicer and did everything they could to make our stay great. The food is very good in both bistro and restaurant and it is within walking distance of Kenmare. This hotel is very reasonable too and I would definitely recommend it.
I can't rave enough about this hotel!!!!!!!! My husband and I got married in Ireland this past May. Our wedding reception was held at the Brook Lane Hotel. Being from Los Angeles, and both world travelers, I couldn't imagine having my wedding reception anywhere else in the world!!! From the amazing owners - -whom truly go above and beyond to not only put a nervous bride at ease but are also accommodating to guests, to a truly wonderful staff and beautiful and unique hotel, the Brook Lane is truly one of the most amazing and unique hotels in the world!!!!!
If you're looking for a hotel with pretention where one spends an exorbinant amount of money to be treated like another guest, this is not the hotel for you. But, if you are looking for a place to stay that is as amazing, wonderful and as full of character as Ireland itself, then look no further!!!!
Thank you Brook Lane Hotel!!!!
-From Antoinette & John
Modern, nice --why can't more places be like this?
Brook Lane is not your typical tiny irish B and B, with small rooms and shared showers, but a very modern hotel, with big rooms, good location, and cool extra touches. It is located at a crossroads just on outskirts of Kenmare, a 3 minute walk into town along a little country lane. It was the best of the places that we stayed while in the Kerry area and would recommend highly. That night we ate at Packie's, a restaurant that many guidebooks recommend. It was decent food at insanely pretentious prices, all the while crammed into tiny, hot room with many other tourists. Our least enjoayable dinner during our entire stay in Ireland. Don't bother and instead enjoy one of the many other places in town.
Hospitality with Style
We recently stayed at the Brook Lane Hotel for a long weekend and can say we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Una, the owner, and all her staff made us feel very welcome, and with typical Irish hospitality, created an extremely laid back and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfasts were very good and we ate in the bar which also had a lively warm feel that served excellent quality food. The rooms were also to a very high standard with a very comfortable bed. The web site is also a very accurate point of reference to give you a good feel for the hotel. One other worthy point to mention is that the hotel is only a 4 minute stroll into the town of Kenmare where you are really spoilt for choice with numerous bars & restaurants. Surrounded by wonderful views of the Kerry mountains, this really is a great place for a short break to experience the 'Real Ireland'.
What a Find
My family and I stayed at The Brook Lane Hotel for a week in May and I have to say, I don't think I have stayed at a Hotel where the staff has been as welcoming and accommodating.
Not only did we receive a very warm welcome, the accommodation itself was contemporary and inviting, with large spacious rooms which were faultlessly clean and tidy. Also, the Hotel had wireless internet which made life very convenient.
Breakfast was excellent - always served with a friendly smile and a joke.
On a couple of evenings we ate in the Bar and Restaurant and again, the food was excellent with a good choice.
I have no doubt we will return to Brook Lane again as this was our second visit and the standards were certainly as high as our first.
Really nice experiance
My girlfriend Toni and I had the pleasure of staying in Brook Lane Hotel recently. We arrived on Friday evening for a romantic weekend and were greeted warmly and escorted to our room by Una Brennan, the owner of the hotel. A nice touch. We were tired after our long journey and just relaxed in the bar that evening and enjoyed a pint of Guinness or two and a chat with the friendly bar staff. Upon returning to our room we found a little candle burning by the bedside and both agreed it was a nice personal touch. Slept deeply that night on Queen size beds and found that the room supplied all necessities including wireless internet access. The rooms are large, warm and very clean and even though I personally took little notice Toni assures me the decor is amazing. After a long day sight seeing we returned to the hotel famished and our appetites and pallets were treated to a wonderful meal. The choice of food was impressive and the staff friendly. We sat by a lovely open coal and timber fire and finished off the night listening to some local musicians playing traditional music.
On Sunday morning we had a huge Irish breakfast in our room and the breakfast menu offered a variety of choices. Overall the weekend was everything we had hoped for and more. The most impressive thing I found about the Brook Lane Hotel was that there was no fuss made. Everything went smoothly and was laid back and the staff had an air of confidance about them. Will return again upon our next visit to Kenmare without doubt. Andrew Sullivan
Ok, not great
We stayed here in April '06. For the price, we expected much more. Although the rooms were new, clean, large and bright and the hotel itself is new, up-to date and beautiful. the service was really substandard. Not enough help and the help they did have were not fully trained. Breakfast was nightmarish with only one waitress for not only the hotel guests (which there were many disgruntled ones, I might add) but she also waited the tables in the separate restaurant. Maybe they were having a bad week ... new hotel, new staff ... who knows, but I do know they need to greatly improve their service. Good Luck to them.
Lovely, Friendly, relaxing stay
As soon as you enter the hotel you are greeted by friendly staff and a nice atmosphere (open fire - lovely decor). We where personally shown down to our room which where a good size and has all you need (iron, hairdryer, shower and bath, ISDN line, DVD & Video player, multichannel etc)
We had our dinner in the Bistro where we had a choice from the bar menu or the restaurant menu. Our meal was delicious and excellent value. We where also able to order room service for our breakfast which had great choices on the menu.
It's at a great spot in Kenmare - you can head of to do the Ring of Kerry etc or just pop over to Killarney for the day. It's takes only a few mins to walk into the centre of the town where you have a choice of shop, restaurants and bars.
I would highly recommend this hotel to all my friends without any hesitation
Disappointing and soulless
This hotel is in a modern, purpose built building. It does not have the atmosphere of a boutique hotel as it claims in its publicity. It has the feel of an upmarket 'travel' type hotel, the kind more suited to business travellers than tourists looking for a romantic hideaway. It is on the corner of two main roads and has little charm. The room was spacious, but there were poor touches - door handles missing from a cupboard. It also looked out onto a main road and car park. It is certainly not 'small, quirky and full of little surprises' as the website claims.
After a long drive to get there, we were bitterly disappointed by the location and soullessness of this place. We had stayed at the marvellous Casey's of Baltimore the night before and decided we couldn't bear to stay at Brooklane on the last night of our break, so drove all the way back to Caseys where we had a fantastic meal and enjoyed a comfortable room with spectacular views.
Read between the lines of Brooklane's publicity and don't be fooled into thinking it is a perfect retreat. If you want to feel like you're on a business trip - fair enough. If you want to experience something special for your money, stay away.
A stunning gem in Kenmare
My wife and I stayed at Brook Lane on Saturday and Sunday 8 & 9 October and were astonished at the quality we experienced. This 20 bed hotel, built just a year ago has been created to an exceptionally high standard - the decor and furnishings is resminiscent of the Mandarin Oriental Landmark in Hong Kong where I dined a few weeks earlier. Superb cuisine in the bistro, a really friendly atmosphere in their bar around an open fire where we enjoyed an excellent local singer, musician and Irish dancer on Sunday night. We met the owner, Una who gave the clear impression of a proprietor who is passionate about standards and totally 'hands on' with her establishment.
Before we left, we booked our next visit to Brook Lane, which is the most remarkable hotel we have visited anywhere in the world - comfort, design, friendliness, atmosphere and food (including a superb Irish breakfast) were beyond compare.
As frequent hotel-stayers all over the world we were made far more welcome here than in many more reputed and expensive establishments elsewhere in the world.

WSJIDEBATE: Should Indian Railways Be Privatized?
WSJIDEBATE is a forum for discussion on the top current affairs, economic and social issues of the day. It is led by a panel of students at Indian universities and colleges selected by The Wall Street Journal to write their views and to stimulate comment and debate among their peers. Each week, the panel will publish pieces on a theme that keys off a major story that has run on india.wsj.com. To participate, just register and then add your comments through the Comment tab at the top of the panelist's article. We hope this will serve as a useful platform for young, engaged Indian readers to add their voices to the debate on the most important issues of our time.
Topic: Should Indian Railways Be Privatized?
Omar Saleem: A Rescue for India's Debt Worries
[Omar Saleem is a third-year student studying psychology at the Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ. Have a keen interest in the interactions of the economic world and its affect on the daily lives of citizens. Also blog on medical innovations and advancements and how they help shape the world we live in at braintimes.blogspot.com]
Beginning the 21st century buried in the ashes of severe financial peril and swelling debts, you could not have envisioned the transformation of Indian Railways into the dominant entity that it is today. By completing an astounding recovery and becoming one of the country's most proficient enterprises on a massive scale, Indian Railways has blossomed into a substantially profitable business. Credit for this miraculous turnaround rests solely in reforms and the rigorous implementation by government officials, proving as a mere fallacy the idea that privatization is the only means to profit.
No other sector demonstrates the ingenuity and wits of the public sector as vividly as Indian Railways. Consequently, calls for privatization of Indian Railways are easily thwarted by citing the opulent gains made by the enterprise solely on the shoulders of government measures. With the pressing need for greater revenue and foreign capital, however, privatization of Indian Railways has become a necessity.
Privatization has gradually gained importance as a secondary revenue source to aid in limiting the national debt. Initial attempts at privatization such as Modern Foods India Ltd. saw miniscule gains, dissuading government from the practice. Since the Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd. venture however, India has used prudent privatization practices complimented with a rapidly growing base of foreign investors as a springboard -- along with other programs -- for fiscal consolidation.
Amid the escalating fragility of European markets (the woes of Greece are a case in point), sales of shares in Indian state-owned enterprise shares have seen little interest from foreign investors. Consequently, hopes of using SEO sales as a reconciling tool to confine the government debt seem to have been washed down the drain. Witness the lackluster response to the largest national utility, National Thermal Power Corporation.
With the inability to raise revenue from current SEO share sales and a looming debt on its hands, the government must provide a golden goose that will bring back foreign interest and, more importantly, help direct the country towards fiscal consolidation. Indian Railways -- with its persistent rise and stability -- is that golden goose.
Although privatization might not be the popular option for a company that is the pride of the public sector, it is the best option India has to recover the waning confidence in its foreign investors and propel foreign capital back into the country. Even though earlier attempts to privatize Indian Railways (during its low points) were unsuccessful, the current company is a rejuvenated and magnetic force destined to attract capital.
For an enterprise that is as proficiently managed as Indian Railways has been - a unique trait among SEOs - partial privatization or "disinvestment" is a viable option. Disinvestment allows the government to sell shares to private ownership while still retaining managerial direction of the company. Keeping the working model that is set in place and simultaneously allowing for capital to flow in will allow for greater progress by the company to innovate and vastly improve its services. The highly successful system will be maintained while outside capital will pour in.
At the end of the day, if the primary goal of the government is the elimination of the national debt, certain actions must be taken that may compromise its secondary priorities. Utilizing the rise of Indian Railways through privatization is not a sign of defeat but rather a contingent victory for the government and its revival of a buried company. From barren ashes, Indian Railways will emerge as India's golden phoenix.

These days, privatization is being hailed as the new mantra to reform any ailing Public Sector Undertaking in India. The notion that privatization always improves efficiency, induces accountability and produces positive upshots is flawed. There have been instances where the participation of the private sector in a government monopoly has led to monopolization in the hands of private players.
To begin with, the Indian Railways is not just any PSU. One, it has transformed into a profit-making organization generating positive cash flows from its loss-incurring, near-to-bankruptcy former self. And two, the Indian Railways employs more than 1.4 million people and transports more than 18 million passengers daily. It caters to people from all strata of society, ranging from the burgeoning middle class to those who reside at the Bottom of the Pyramid.
While discussing railway privatisation, we can learn from the experience of British Railways. British Railways was privatized in 1993 with the expectation that private funding will reduce pressure on government spending. On the contrary, the government subsidy has increased considerably from the pre-privatization levels. And as the cost of running the railways have increased, so have the fares.
In the Indian scenario, there is no cap on foreign direct investment in rail track, rolling stock, container depots and any other infrastructure related to a railway system; still not much investment has taken place in these domains.
To meet the infrastructure requirements that are essential for improving logistics and fuelling economic growth, dedicated freight corridors and high speed rail links are needed. Villages also need to be connected to the railways network.
But the construction of railroads is a highly capital intensive task. It is difficult to tap funds of such magnitude from the private sector, especially as these projects have a very long gestation period. Therefore, the fate of the much talked about Public Private Partnership model, which has proven successful in road projects, is uncertain in the case of railways.
The area which is closed for private sector investment is train operations. In India, passenger fares are subsidized by the profits made in the freight sector. The Indian Railways is not just a transit system transporting passengers but it also carries a social responsibility. Concessions are given to senior citizens, students, the disabled and other groups.
If the operating of different segments of the railways is privatized, it will certainly push up passenger fares, which will be an added burden on the majority of travellers who live below the poverty line. Government support is justifiable because the subsidies are offset by the huge socio-economic benefits for the masses.
Privatization might drive innovation in the operations of Indian Railways but the incentive to innovate wanes in the event of dwindling profits. Therefore, handing over the train operations (which include sensitive aspects such as passenger safety) to the private sector should not be considered.
However, there are a few domains where the participation of the private sector can augment the existing facilities. For instance, Indian Railways is actively seeking collaboration with the private sector for technological upgrades and modernization in order to achieve higher operating efficiency and to reduce accident rates. Participation in such areas (which are already open to private investment) should be encouraged while keeping the core sector – the running of trains -- under state control.
My contention is that privatization should be perceived as the means and not the end, and as Indian Railways is moving on the right track to achieving the end, there shouldn't be any unnecessary attempts which could derail it.

Because of their financial situation, the Rays always have a lot of roster turnover every offseason. This past winter they said goodbye to James Shields and B.J. Upton -- two of the few remaining active Devil Rays -- via trade and free agency, respectively. Both players lived through the franchise's dark years and helped make the club competitive, so they should be considered legacy players in the team's relatively short history.
Did Longoria Say James Shields and B.J. Upton Have a 'losing Mentality?'

Habitat requests fee waiver — again
June 23, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Panhandle has again approached the Martinsburg City Council about waiving fees for Habitat's Auburndale subdivision off Boston Street....
Why are they even counting the square footing of the basements though? I thought there were some strict rules on counting basements in on the square footage of a home. If that space couldn't be included in a realty listing, why can it be used for taxation?

Habitat's ministry is a hand up, not a hand out. Each family must put in hundreds of hours of "sweat equity" on their own and others' homes. We -- churches, government, individuals -- should all be able to get behind helping the less fortunate regardless of anyone's religion.

Government shouldn't favor any sect by granting fee waivers. Habitat for Humanity: a Christian ministry Habitat is a partnership founded on common ground— bridging theological differences by putting love into action. Everyone can use the hammer as an instrument to manifest God's love. Habitat's late founder, Millard Fuller, called this concept "the theology of the hammer."

There are New Yorkers who loathe the screaming headlines that leap daily from page one of the tabloid New York Post (EX-ALTAR BOY DIES IN CHAIR, MODEL KILLED BY CROCODILE) and there are New Yorkers who love them (KHADAFY GOES DAFFY, I SLEPT WITH A TRUMPET). But on one point Gothamites agree: Ever since Australian-born press baron Rupert Murdoch purchased the afternoon tabloid in 1976, the Post's headlines—up to three inches high and sometimes printed in red—have been difficult to ignore (HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR).
Much of the credit, or blame, belongs to Vincent Musetto, 45, a Post Assistant Managing Editor who estimates that he has written or helped write 1,500 headlines during the past five years. Musetto talked to Senior Writer David Van Biema about truth, fairness, coeds, drug-crazed transvestites and the business of selling newspapers.
Zap, zip, zonk, nix, those are good verbs. Short. Short and powerful. They've got to convey a sense of urgency. Nouns? Tots, kids, fire, you know—SIX-ALARM FIRE. Blaze is good, but fire's shorter. Siege. Siege is good. Madman, maniac, fear. My favorite word is "coed." When you see coed, people want to buy the paper. I don't know why—just some young, innocent girl getting into a lot of trouble. It's the dirty old man in people. It's a very sexy word.... Without the hyphen. Some people spell it with a hyphen, we spell it without the hyphen.
Writing headlines is being able to say a complex story in three or four words that will attract a reader. It's like advertising on TV. You say something in a couple of words, and you have to get some poor slob to go out and buy one brand of gasoline instead of another. Now that doesn't apply to the New York Times. People buy the New York Times because they buy the New York Times, not because of the headline. But there are a lot of people who buy the Post because they see a great front page. Anybody can put a newspaper out when it's all happening—if they shoot the President of the United States. It's when nothing's happening—you have no stories, you have no photos—that's the pits. That's when you really earn your money.
I wrote HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR, the most infamous headline in journalism. They have T-shirts with it on, and buttons. It's all right. It's not one of my favorite headlines. Nobody expected it to become a classic, the Night of the Living Dead of headlines. One afternoon I got a report that there had been a murder in a bar, and that one of the victims had had his or her head cut off. Someone said it might be a topless bar, but we weren't sure, and then the idea of the headline came around, so we were really questioning to make sure it was a topless bar. We sent the reporter, this girl, and she so determined that it was a topless bar. I just wrote it, and everyone said "ha ha," but I didn't think it would live in infamy.
KHADAFY GOES DAFFY—yeah, I wrote that one, too. I got into a lot of trouble. That was the issue when we took a picture of Khadafy and dressed him up like a woman. We had a story from our Washington bureau that he was starting to go loony and taking drugs, a drug-crazed transvestite. I thought it was a great headline. And everybody loved it. It's a classic too. But...you could say there was adverse reaction. My bosses didn't like it. They went through the roof. They dropped it from the later editions.
My own favorite was GRANNY EXECUTED IN HER PINK PAJAMAS. It was about a woman who went to the electric chair, and she wanted to wear her pajamas rather than prison garb, so they let her. I don't think you could pass that headline without reading the story. You see that headline and you immediately want to know what it's about. It's just the picture of this woman, this poor woman, you feel sorry for her, she killed somebody but you still feel sorry for her. And I think she also wore slippers of some sort.
For some reason I was always good at writing headlines. I think it had to do with my childhood, reading newspapers. I wasn't very athletic, I was kind of a nerd, and the kids made fun of me. I used to sit at home and watch old movies, '30s and '40s movies, Preston Sturges, Eddie Bracken, Busby Berkeley, and read newspapers. I read the Post, the Herald Tribune, the Daily Mirror, the Daily News, the Journal-American and the World-Telegram. There were seven papers in New York City then; it was great. I used to dream about writing front-page headlines.
My first newspaper job was at the Daily Mirror in 1961, as a copy boy. Later I was at the Newark Star Ledger. They cover municipal meetings and you write headlines like BOARD OF EDUCATION VOTES THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR GYMNASIUM REPAIRS—not that interesting. I came to the Post in 1975. My first front page headline was a plane crash, THE LAST HOURS OF FLIGHT such-and-such. That's sort of a basic head, but I was really excited.
The Post was dying before Murdoch bought it. It probably would have gone out of business. The woods—we call headlines "woods" because big type used to be made of wood—were always, you know, basic woods. Murdoch brought in a lot of guys who used Fleet Street-type headlines. Maybe just one word, like KAZOOM! Kazoom might tell you nothing, so you read the paper to find out. Or they'd use a quote: "I WANT MY ROSARY BEADS." We ran that a little while ago. Previously the headline would have read PRISONER SAYS HE ASKED POLICE FOR HIS ROSARY BEADS. And the headlines became physically bigger. I thought it was great. Murdoch sort of made headlines pop art.
Of course, we have to worry about things like truth and good taste. Good taste is basic. You don't make fun of religion, you don't make fun of people's disabilities. There are certain boundaries that nobody would go over. You could use "damn" in the proper context, but most likely I don't think we could use "ass" in a head. You always tell the truth. We don't slant or shade to the best of our ability. People have accused us of slanting. But when you're the subject of a story, it's easy to make a subjective judgment. You could criticize us for not reflecting your views, but that's a subjective opinion. Roxanne Pulitzer sued once, I think, over a headline, I SLEPT WITH A TRUMPET. But subsequently she posed naked in Playboy holding a copy of that front page over her body, so obviously she wasn't that upset by it.
Jennifer Levin, the girl who was killed in Central Park, was a story we took a lot of criticism on. Her accused killer's lawyer was trying to prove his innocence by making her seem guilty, implying she deserved to die because she took him into the park. And we were accused of taking his side and taking what his lawyer said as gospel truth. One of our heads—I didn't write it—was WILD SEX KILLED JENNY. There was an overline that attributed it to somebody, "COPS SAY:" or something like that. Maybe in retrospect we don't feel so comfortable about that, but it's easy to second guess. During deadlines, under pressure, maybe you do things you might not have done.
Writing headlines is a good way to impress a woman. When you first meet her you tell her what you do. And then when she's walking down the street, she sees this headline, and she says, "Oh, he wrote that. That guy I went out with last night wrote that." And when you break up, they can't ignore you. You're on every newsstand. There's no escape.
There is another side to the job. Every day you're faced with tragedy. O.K., you can't really let it get to you, because you just couldn't do your work. But some things, certain things really upset me. I'm divorced and I have a daughter who's 13 years old, and anything about kids upsets me.
But on the whole it's been a lot of fun. If the New York Post said to me, "You've got to spend the next five years of your life doing what you're doing," I wouldn't jump out the window. But if they offered me a new challenge—like more of the film reviews that I do—I wouldn't mind. Do you know how many hostage sieges I've seen? They get pretty much the same. Maybe there's more to life than writing headlines. But somebody'll always be here. Without them, you don't have a paper.
Tots Nix Blazing Coeds!

Team Canelo To Floyd: Saul Swept The Tour in Popularity
By Miguel Rivera
Trainer Jose "Chepo" Reynoso had a smile on his face as he heard Floyd Mayweather's boasts of being more popular than Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs). Mayweather (44-0, 26KOs) recently stated that Canelo used his pay-per-view undercards to grow his fan base and become more popular with the general public. The pound-for-pound champion is not sold on Canelo's credentials of being a superstar. The two boxers just finished up a ten city tour to promoter their battle on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Reynoso says his fighter blew Mayweather away in popularity in almost every city, and even had a hefty line of fans in Mayweather's hometown.
"Even in the hometown of Floyd Mayweather Jr., in Michigan, the fans were 50-50 for each fighter. And everywhere else the percentage of fans were in favor of Saul by a 10 to 1 margin. So he swept [the tour] in popularity and that assures [our team] that on September 14th we will get the most support. That's a good sign that everyone wants Canelo to win," Reynoso said.
You know Floyd gets very annoyed by this. That's why he said he's a fighter without a country or some sh1t like that a few weeks ago.Comment by ddangerous on 07-10-2013

"I'm sure I could state it more clearly in a more effective way than I did in a setting like that," Romney said at a hastily arranged press conference in Orange County, Calif.
The video, released Monday by the liberal magazine Mother Jones, was surreptitiously recorded at a closed-door fundraiser at the Boca Raton, Fla., home of private equity banker Marc Leder. Romney is shown saying that many Americans are "dependent upon government" and "believe they are victims."

Rayne man arrested for cultivating marijuana
On Monday, July 18, the Rayne Police Department arrested Kellerick Geraymond Mott, a 32-year-old African-American male who resides at 810 E. Jeff Davis St., Rayne, for cultivation of marijuana, illegal possession of a firearm around controlled dangerous substances and possession of a schedule IV CDS: Lorazepam.
Chief Carroll Stelly stated that his officers developed information implicating Kellerick Mott while investigating a prescription drug ring headed by Dominique Mott, his brother, who was arrested last week.
As part of the investigation, officers went to the residence where they located a marijuana growing operation set up in a shed on the property. The growing operation was utilizing artificial light sources concealed within an enclosed building. Officers also located a semiautomatic firearm and a schedule 4 controlled dangerous substance on the property.
The investigation determined Kellerick Mott lived on the property with his grandmother. It is believed that the suspect's grandmother did not have any prior knowledge of the marijuana operation. Therefore, she has not been charged with any criminal violations.
Chief Stelly advised that the Rayne Police Department Narcotics Division is actively investigating the prescription fraud diversion and more arrest are anticipated in the near future.

Credit for 33 wins, three league championships and three postseason appearances has to be spread around, but one man has been honored for West Texas A & M's recent football success.
Special Six
American Football Coaches Association Division II Coaches of the Year:
Region 1: John Luckhardt, California (Pa.)
Region 2: Chip Hester, Catawba College
Region 3: Chuck Martin, Grand Valley State
Region 4: Don Carthel, West Texas A & M
Region 5: (tie) Pat Behrns, Nebraska-Omaha, and Bill O'Boyle, Chadron State
The American Football Coaches Association named Don Carthel its Region 4 coach of the year in Division II on Tuesday.
"It's unexpected but very much appreciated," said Carthel, who shared Lone Star Conference South Division honors with two coaches.
"I don't want to take all the credit. I have a great staff and players who play their tails off. It's a great effort we're getting out of them," Carthel said.
The Buffs won a school-record 12 straight games and won their third straight LSC championship. WT bowed to Northwest Missouri State in the second round of the Division II playoffs. The Bearcats this weekend play defending champion Grand Valley State in the national semifinals.
Carthel's teams have a combined 33-5 record, the best three-year stretch in WT football history, and a 31-2 regular-season mark.
This year, the Buffs climbed to No. 4 in the AFCA rankings and broke almost two dozen individual and team records.
The AFCA Division I coach of the year in Region 4 is Kansas' Mark Mangino, and Mark Farley of Northern Iowa is the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) winner in the region.

Kevin Durant plugged in 31 points tonight, wrapping up the NBA scoring title, averaging 30.1 points a game.
Watch the 50 best long-distance shots of last season (video)
There's something majestic about the ball floating through the air on a long shot headed toward the rim, especially when it splashes through the net.
Enjoy the top 50 of those baskets from last season.
Kevin Durant doesn't like Durantula nickname either
Kevin Durant is long and thin, a combination that has inspired two great nicknames: "Durantula" and "Slim Reaper."
Durant has already disavowed "Slim Reaper."
Now, he's professing his dislike for "Durantula."
Henry Wofford of CSN Bay Area:
I see Durant is embracing his role as villain. This is a terrible opinion.
That leaves just loathsomely boring "KD" as a nickname, which is unjustifiable with such better options on the table. Durant might just have to buck up and accept "Durantula" and "Slim Reaper." At least neither rolls off the tongue easily enough for people to address him that way in person.
Joakim Noah skips Knicks dinner with West Point cadets due to anti-war stance
The Knicks have held training camp at West Point the last few years, and last night, the team dined with Army cadets:
But Joakim Noah didn't participate.
Noah, via Marc Berman of the New York Post:
"It's hard for me a little bit – I have a lot of respect for the kids here fighting — but it's hard for me to understand why we go to war and why kids have to kill kids all around the world,'' Noah said. "I have mixed feeling about being here. I'm very proud of this country. I love America. I don't understand kids killing kids around the world.''
Noah received permission from Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek to skip the team function. He was the only member of the team not in attendance. Noah said his decision to skip the dinner and speech was not intended as a form of protest.
"It's not my way of saying anything – I was not comfortable,'' Noah said.
Noah has dual citizenship in the United States and France, the home of his father, Yannick Noah, the former tennis star. Noah admitted he's "not very patriotic,'' believing people should respect people more than "flags.''
Noah's view will be unpopular, but he has every right to hold it. There's a growing current of people asking for more athlete activism, but people better realize: You might not always like the stance players take. For those who claim to value politically minded players, this is part of what you get.
Personally, I disagree with Noah. The Revolutionary War helped him secure the right to speak out on this. World War II kept his beloved France from being run by a tyrannical Nazi regime. Just because some wars are unjust doesn't make all wars unjust. I also believe in honoring American soldiers who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms.
But I also respect Noah's right to seek a comfortable situation for himself. Some people can be anti-war and easily separate the soldiers as individuals. For others, apparently including Noah, all war machinery is intertwined.
Keep in mind, Noah didn't actively disparage any soldiers. He's not seeking supporters for a cause. He just chose not participate in an event he never asked to be apart of.
LeBron James on Cavaliers negotiations: 'I just hate to deal with this s— again,' J.R. Smith 'did his part'
LeBron James has implicitly loomed over contract negotiations between the Cavaliers and J.R. Smith. LeBron shares an agent – Rich Paul, whose clientele (including Tristan Thompson) LeBron considers to be family – with Smith.
Now, LeBron is getting more explicit.
Michael Lee of Yahoo Sports:
LeBron has frequently praised Smith, including this offseason. If the Cavs haven't gotten the message by now, it ought to be clear: LeBron values Smith and winning and believes the former will help the latter.
This doesn't mean LeBron will leave in free agency in 2018, but with a rumor that LeBron believes delivering a title to Cleveland frees him to bolt if he so chooses, do the Cavaliers really want to test him? Do they really want to restrain a team capable of defending its championship?
I respect the Cavs' desire to sign Smith to a sensible contract, and LeBron is well within his rights to advocate for a fellow player (and himself getting a better supporting cast). These negotiations are all about leverage – and LeBron is using his.

THE RICHARD & HINDA ROSENTHAL LECTURE 2007: Transforming Today's Health Care Workforce to Meet Tomorrow's Demandsby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
The National Academies Press (NAP)--publisher for the National Academies--publishes more than 200 books a year offering the most authoritative views, definitive information, and groundbreaking recommendations on a wide range of topics in science, engineering, and health. Our books are unique in that they are authored by the nation's leading experts in every scientific field.
THE U.S. COMMITMENT TO GLOBAL HEALTH: Recommendations for the New Administrationby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
At this historic moment, the incoming Obama administration and leaders of the U.S. Congress have the opportunity to advance the welfare and prosperity of people within and beyond the borders of the United States through intensified and sustained attention to better health. The United States can improve the lives of millions around the world, while reflecting America's values and protecting and promoting the nation's interests. The Institute of Medicine-with the support of four U.S. government agencies and five private foundations-formed an independent committee to examine the United States' commitment to global health and to articulate a vision for future U.S. investments and activities in this area.
Training Physicians For Public Health Careersby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
Public health efforts have resulted in tremendous improvements in the health of individuals and communities. The foundation for effective public health interventions rests, in large part, on a well-trained workforce. Unfortunately there is a major shortage of public health physicians who are prepared to face today's public health challenges. Training Physicians for Public Health Careers focuses on the critical roles that physicians play in maintaining and strengthening the public health system, identifies what these physicians need to know to engage in effective public health actions, explores the kinds of training programs that can be used to prepare physicians for public health roles, and examines how these training programs can be funded. Medical schools, schools of public health, health care and public health care professionals, medical students and students of public health will find this of special interest.
Transforming Clinical Research in the United States: Challenges and Opportunitiesby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
An ideal health care system relies on efficiently generating timely, accurate evidence to deliver on its promise of diminishing the divide between clinical practice and research. There are growing indications, however, that the current health care system and the clinical research that guides medical decisions in the United States falls far short of this vision. The process of generating medical evidence through clinical trials in the United States is expensive and lengthy, includes a number of regulatory hurdles, and is based on a limited infrastructure. The link between clinical research and medical progress is also frequently misunderstood or unsupported by both patients and providers. The focus of clinical research changes as diseases emerge and new treatments create cures for old conditions. As diseases evolve, the ultimate goal remains to speed new and improved medical treatments to patients throughout the world. To keep pace with rapidly changing health care demands, clinical research resources need to be organized and on hand to address the numerous health care questions that continually emerge. Improving the overall capacity of the clinical research enterprise will depend on ensuring that there is an adequate infrastructure in place to support the investigators who conduct research, the patients with real diseases who volunteer to participate in experimental research, and the institutions that organize and carry out the trials.To address these issues and better understand the current state of clinical research in the United States, the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation held a 2-day workshop entitled Transforming Clinical Research in the United States. The workshop, summarized in this volume, laid the foundation for a broader initiative of the Forum addressing different aspects of clinical research. Future Forum plans include further examining regulatory, administrative, and structural barriers to the effective conduct of clinical research; developing a vision for a stable, continuously funded clinical research infrastructure in the United States; and considering strategies and collaborative activities to facilitate more robust public engagement in the clinical research enterprise.
UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFITS AND RISKS OF PHARMACEUTICALS: Workshop Summaryby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
The National Academies Press (NAP)--publisher for the National Academies--publishes more than 200 books a year offering the most authoritative views, definitive information, and groundbreaking recommendations on a wide range of topics in science, engineering, and health.

Use Of Dietary Supplements By Military Personnelby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
Dietary supplements are widely available through a rapidly expanding market of products commonly advertised as beneficial for health, performance enhancement, and disease prevention. Given the importance and frequent evaluation of physical performance and health as a criteria to join and remain in the military, the use of these products by military personnel has raised concern regarding over-all and long-term efficacy and safety. This evaluation is especially difficult, as many of these supplements contain multiple ingredients, have a changing composition over time, or are used intermittently at doses difficult to measure. This book analyzes the patterns of dietary supplement use among military personnel, examines published reviews of the scientific evidence, and identifies those dietary supplements that are beneficial and/or warrant concern due to risks to health or performance. The book also recommends a system to monitor adverse health effects and a framework to identify the need for active management of dietary supplements by military personnel. Military policy makers, personnel, and recruits will find this book useful, as will nutritionists, athletes, and others working in strenuous environments.

Value in Health Care: Accounting for Cost, Quality, Safety, Outcomes, and Innovationby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
The United States has the highest per capita spending on health care of any industrialized nation. Yet despite the unprecedented levels of spending, harmful medical errors abound, uncoordinated care continues to frustrate patients and providers, and U.S. healthcare costs continue to increase. The growing ranks of the uninsured, an aging population with a higher prevalence of chronic diseases, and many patients with multiple conditions together constitute more complicating factors in the trend to higher costs of care. A variety of strategies are beginning to be employed throughout the health system to address the central issue of value, with the goal of improving the net ratio of benefits obtained per dollar spent on health care. However, despite the obvious need, no single agreed-upon measure of value or comprehensive, coordinated systemwide approach to assess and improve the value of health care exists. Without this definition and approach, the path to achieving greater value will be characterized by encumbrance rather than progress. To address the issues central to defining, measuring, and improving value in health care, the Institute of Medicine convened a workshop to assemble prominent authorities on healthcare value and leaders of the patient, payer, provider, employer, manufacturer, government, health policy, economics, technology assessment, informatics, health services research, and health professions communities. The workshop, summarized in this volume, facilitated a discussion of stakeholder perspectives on measuring and improving value in health care, identifying the key barriers and outlining the opportunities for next steps.
The Value of Genetic and Genomic Technologies: Workshop Summaryby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
Knowing one's genetic disposition to a variety of diseases, including common chronic diseases, can benefit both the individual and society at large. The IOM's Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Based Research for Health held a workshop on March 22, 2010, to bring together diverse perspectives on the value of genetic testing, and to discuss its use in clinical practice.

Veterans and Agent Orange: Update 2008by Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
From 1962 to 1971, the U.S. military sprayed herbicides over Vietnam to strip the thick jungle canopy that could conceal opposition forces, to destroy crops that those forces might depend on, and to clear tall grasses and bushes from the perimeters of U.S. base camps and outlying fire-support bases. In response to concerns and continuing uncertainty about the long-term health effects of the sprayed herbicides on Vietnam veterans, Veterans and Agent Orange provides a comprehensive evaluation of scientific and medical information regarding the health effects of exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides used in Vietnam. The 2008 report is the eighth volume in this series of biennial updates. It will be of interest to policy makers and physicians in the federal government, veterans and their families, veterans' organizations, researchers, and health professionals.
VIOLENCE PREVENTION IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES: Finding a Place on the Global Agendaby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
The current state of science in violence prevention reveals progress, promise, and a number of remaining challenges. In order to fully examine the issue of global violence prevention, the Institute of Medicine in collaboration with Global Violence Prevention Advocacy, convened a workshop and released the workshop summary entitled, Violence Prevention in Low-and Middle-Income Countries. The workshop brought together participants with a wide array of expertise in fields related to health, criminal justice, public policy, and economic development, to study and articulate specific opportunities for the U.S. government and other leaders with resources to more effectively support programming for prevention of the many types of violence. Participants highlighted the need for the timely development of an integrated, science-based approach and agenda to support research, clinical practice, program development, policy analysis, and advocacy for violence prevention.
Who Will Keep the Public Healthy?: Educating Public Health Professionalsfor the 21st Centuryby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
Bioterrorism, drug--resistant disease, transmission of disease by global travel . . . there's no shortage of challenges facing America's public health officials. Men and women preparing to enter the field require state-of-the-art training to meet these increasing threats to the public health. But are the programs they rely on provide the high caliber professional training they require? Who Will Keep the Public Healthy? provides an overview of the past, present, and future of public health education, assessing its readiness to provide the training and education needed to prepare men and women to face 21st century challenges. Advocating an ecological approach to public health, the Institute of Medicine examines the role of public health schools and degree--granting programs, medical schools, nursing schools, and government agencies, as well as other institutions that foster public health education and leadership. Specific recommendations address the content of public health education, qualifications for faculty, availability of supervised practice, opportunities for cross--disciplinary research and education, cooperation with government agencies, and government funding for education. Eight areas of critical importance to public health education in the 21st century are examined in depth: informatics, genomics, communication, cultural competence, community-based participatory research, global health, policy and law, and public health ethics. The book also includes a discussion of the policy implications of its ecological framework.
Wic Food Packages: Time For A Changeby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (the WIC program) has promoted the health of low-income families for more than 30 years by providing nutrition education, supplemental food, and other valuable services. The program reaches millions of families every year, is one of the largest nutrition programs in the United States, and is an important investment in the nation's health. The U.S. Department of Agriculture charged the Institute of Medicine with creating a committee to evaluate the WIC food packages (the list of specific foods WIC participants obtain each month). The goal of the study was to improve the quality of the diet of WIC participants while also promoting a healthy body weight that will reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The committee concluded that it is time for a change in the WIC food packages and the book provides details on the proposed new food packages, summarizes how the proposed packages differ from current packages, and discusses the rationale for the proposed packages.
Women'S Health Research: Progress, Pitfalls, And Promiseby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
Even though slightly over half of the U.S. population is female, medical research historically has neglected the health needs of women. However, over the past two decades, there have been major changes in government support of women's health research--in policies, regulations, and the organization of research efforts. To assess the impact of these changes, Congress directed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ask the IOM to examine what has been learned from that research and how well it has been put into practice as well as communicated to both providers and women. Women's Health Research finds that women's health research has contributed to significant progress over the past 20 years in lessening the burden of disease and reducing deaths from some conditions, while other conditions have seen only moderate change or even little or no change. Gaps remain, both in research areas and in the application of results to benefit women in general and across multiple population groups. Given the many and significant roles women play in our society, maintaining support for women's health research and enhancing its impact are not only in the interest of women, they are in the interest of us all.

Hi, All. OK, there is a cool paper from Valve here, on using a signed distance field in the alpha channel of a texture to recover a nice vector-like representation of a shape using a simple alpha threshold, or looking a bit better in a shader with a smoothstep function. Then I saw this journal, where OrangyTang was using it to render text. So I thought it would be cool to have a tool to build these bitmap font textures from the raw TTF font files. And it would be really cool if it had similar features to the awesome AngelCode Bitmap Font Generator! So I'm writing one, and here is the initial trial (it contains the exe and 3 very nice free fonts for testing purposes). How to use: * drag font files onto the exe * the app asks for a texture size (256 will yield a 256x256 texture for each input font file) * the app will render all valid glyphs in the ANSI range [0..255] * the app will automatically search for the largest rendering size (integer pixels only, so hinting works with a greater range of TrueType fonts) where it can pack the output into the texture you specified earlier * the app packs the rendered Signed Distance Field glyphs into a single texture * look at the output PNG and TXT file (in the same directory as the font file) Credits: * FreeType2 for font rendering * LodePNG for saving the resultant file * BinPacker code from GameDev's own jyk! Please try it out and let me know what you think. Here are my ideas for where I'm going after this (please give any feedback or feature requests): * I want to output a text file compliant with AngelCode's BMFont spec so existing loaders can use this output without changing anything other than the alpha threshold * I want an XML file for configuration so you can specify specific unicode characters (I'm thinking <range>A B</range> and <chars>A B C...ZY ZZ</chars>) * I want to allow an image for input, where a Signed Distance Field would then be computed from that into a lower resolution texture So, what do you think? The source will be released (MIT) when I'm a bit closer to done. (Note, the RGB and A channels all share the same signed distance data, so there is a bit of a border to each glyph...I could just use all white for the color, but I think this looks pretty good.)

Sauerland: Bika Definitely on The Radar For Groves
By Chris McKenna, courtesy of The Daily Star
GEORGE GROVES insists he can still become a world champion despite his dream night ending in nightmare fashion.
The 26-year-old Londoner was sparked out by rival Carl Froch in the eighth round of their IBF and WBA super-middleweight clash at Wembley Stadium.
It is his second defeat on the trot after losing controversially to the Nottingham man in November.
But he has vowed to bounce back and is keen to land another title shot as soon as possible.
Groves said: "I'm still 26 years old. I've just boxed in front of 80,000 people.
"I didn't get the result I wanted, but I was boxing well and I'm sure I'm going to have a long and successful career ahead of me.
"We will go back to the drawing board and we will come back bigger and stronger.
"I will improve. I will come back stronger and I will be world champion.
"I look forward to the time ahead. We gave him a good fight."
Groves signed with Sauerland Promotions just a week before the fight having negotiated his own deal to land the rematch.
Kalle Sauerland - one half of the brother partnership - revealed they already have a plan in place and WBC champion Sakio Bika is an option.
Sauerland said: "We've got plans A, B and C. It will be a quick process.
"Sakio Bika? He's definitely on the radar. He's a great champion."
GERORGE is coming from a KO loss so a tune up fight first,then jump on BIKA. He is in a danger mental territory now,they don't have to push him too much IMO,he is only 26y so.....Comment by denium on 06-02-2014
Bika would walk Groves down and probably stop him. I'd go for Kessler or Abe if i were him.Comment by nycsmooth on 06-02-2014
Groves would need a fight to get himself back on track & it would b 4 Bika's WBC belt, but where...it would b a semi if it's in CA, Groves won't draw in the US...Comment by Scott. Weiland on 06-02-2014
Is Smith mandatory for Abe ?Comment by BattlingNelson on 06-02-2014
It wouldnt be wise to put Groves in with a worldclass opponent straight away. The Froch fights has taken an immense mental toll. I believe Groves needs a long vacation foloowed by a tune-up or two before looking for bigger…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (12)

Reverend Dr. Steven C. Van Ostran
Rev. Dr. Steve Van Ostran was called to serve as Executive Minister of the American Baptist Churches of the Rocky Mountains in January of 2008. Steve says, "My call to regional work has grown out of the calling and practice of being a local church pastor." He has shared that his vision for the local church is to reclaim the "incarnational" nature that is described by the Apostle Paul depicting the church as "The Body of Christ" (1 Cor. 12:27). It is his desire to help local churches reconnect with their community and to discover new avenues of ministry within those communities. In so doing, Steve believes that the church's ongoing witness to Christ will once again become effective.
Previously he served on the ABC of the Central Region staff as Associate Executive Minister and as Acting Executive Minister. Steve came to regional work from 18 years of pastoral ministry, having served four congregations during that time. He has also served as an adjunct professor at Ottawa University teaching courses in New Testament, Speech, and Mass Communications. He also served on the Planning Commission of the City of Ottawa and worked extensively with the Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce and the Franklin County Habitat for Humanity. Prior to coming to Ottawa he served churches in Carbondale, IL, Wood River, IL and Madison, IN.
Steve received his Doctor of Ministry Degree from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in June of 1994, his Master of Divinity from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in May of 1997 and his undergraduate degree from Missouri Southern State College in Criminal Justice Administration.

In addition, Steve enjoys running, playing golf and other outdoor activities. He is also known for being on a quest to discover the perfect hamburger and appreciates suggestions and invitations to further this discovery!

He has been a long-time "musinary" with Confluence Ministries and has traveled all over – including into numerous detention facilities – to share the message of hope and love through music. He is a well-known bilingual singer/songwriter and bandleader. His band, The Mood Express, was inducted into the Chicano Music Hall of Fame in 2014 recognizing the group's 35-year musical legacy. Ervin recently received the Distinguished Richard T. Castro Visiting Professorship Award from the Department of Chicana/o Studies at Metropolitan State University. Ervin celebrates 12 years of marriage in May with his bride Natalie.
Musical Guests
Rev. Dean Phelps
On November 1, 2014, Rev. Dean Phelps began his service in the Central Rocky Mountain Region as Interim Regional Minister.
Dean Phelps brings ten years of regional ministry experience, most recently as the Transitional Regional Pastor for the Oklahoma Region of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). In this role he served as head of staff, built relationships with and between the region's congregations and pastors, assisted churches with search and call, worked with the regional Commission on Clergy, and promoted giving to Disciples Mission Fund and the region's Annual Fund.
Music is an important component of Dean's life and ministry. He is an accomplished musician both as a vocalist and guitarist, and carries a deep conviction that the church is at its best when we are singing together. With four full-length CD releases to his credit, his most recent accomplishments have been in the thumbpicking guitar style made popular by Merle Travis and the release in 2012 of his latest CD.
Dean learned the thumb-picking style from another Disciples minister, and in 2012, he won the national thumbpicking guitar contest held at the Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View, Ark. It should come as no surprise that Dean typically keeps a guitar close by.
Dean has been married to Debbie Adams Phelps for more than 25 years. Originally from Oklahoma, Deb is also an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), entering the ministry following a 28-year career as a teacher and division chair. She is author of Streamers, a five-unit study of Disciples history, and is the organizing pastor of DisciplesNet Church, an online Disciples of Christ congregation.
Jason Gray
Jason Gray has emerged as a songwriter of extraordinary depth, with a noteworthy ability to convey deep theological truths in engaging three-and-a-half minute songs. The Minnesota native is steadily drawing legions of fans who recognize his ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level, offering not escape or distraction, but healing and hope. His 2012 release, "A Way To See In The Dark", was named Album of the Year by critics and garnered three top-five radio singles, including Nothing is Wasted, which hit #1 for nine weeks.
That success and exposure is a testimony to the power of music and an artist willing to be used by God. As a child, Gray developed a speech handicap. Like Moses arguing with God over his effectiveness as a communicator, Gray naturally resisted the call to ministry through music. But God, the Champion of the lost cause, chose Gray to become a living, breathing, stuttering example of His strength in our weakness. Maybe that's why so many are drawn to Gray's music. Through songs like All the Lovely Losers and Remind Me Who I Am, he's been vulnerable, honest, and trustworthy in making music that ministers. It was in the response to one of those songs that speaks hope into our trials – Nothing is Wasted – that Gray noticed something important. People are hungry to believe that when bad things happen, God is in it, that the experience won't be wasted. "But I found," Gray says, "that it was harder for people to believe that about their own failure, their own shame, and I thought, man, if the Gospel's not true there, then it's not true anywhere."
Jana Stanfield
As a million-selling songwriter, Jana Stanfield's "Lyrics to Live By" have been heard on 20/20, Entertainment Tonight, Oprah, and radio stations, sung by Reba McEntire and many others, putting platinum albums on her wall for 5 million copies sold.
She has performed on television and on live stages from Carnegie Hall to the Grand Ole Opry, with performers ranging from Kenny Loggins to the Dixie Chicks. She was a featured TEDx speaker more than once including at NASA, and in Chennai, India.
Jana's songs "What Would I Do Today If I Were Brave" and "If I Had Only Known" raise money for the Girl Scouts, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, St. Jude's Children's Hospital and many other charitable organizations.
With the motto "Start Small, Dream Big, Live Large," Jana started a record company in 1991 on her dining room table. Selling close to half a million CDs worldwide made Relatively Famous Records one of the most successful businesses of its kind.
Jana Stanfield now makes her living doing Keynote Concerts at large conferences, using her music and message to increase the good in the world. She frequently teaches business leaders the power of combining your unique skill set with a positive mindset.
When she is not making music or making audiences laugh, Jana Stanfield is leading global volun-tour trips or traveling the world doing all she can to increase the peace.
