Telephone follow-up does not significantly improve glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes overall, but more intensive programmes may have an effect

Implications for practice and research
Implications for nursing practice
▪ Telephone follow-up is more effective at improving glycaemic control if it includes a more interactive element based on the level of clinical need.
▪ Such models could be important in helping to manage the increasing demand for diabetes care.
Implications for nursing research
▪ Research is needed which will help to determine the added value of the psychological element of the intervention (eg, motivational interviewing (MI)).
▪ Understanding more about the potential influence of call provider skill and expertise (professional vs non-professional) is needed to determine the optimum level of training required.
▪ Cost-benefit analysis is recommended.
Diabetes is becoming increasingly common worldwide, representing a huge public health problem. In the UK, diabetes is thought to affect approximately 2.8 million people overall, and it is estimated that there may be a further 850 000 people with undiagnosed diabetes. Over 90% of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and there are an increasing number of younger adults with T2DM than previously, with the condition now developing also in children. T2DM is complex in causation and complicated to manage since it is associated with significant complications affecting the eye, the nervous system and the kidney. There is a substantial increase in risk of cardiovascular disease and a significant reduction in life expectancy. Achieving optimal glycaemic control is a key clinical objective in reducing complications, and this relies heavily on patient's adherence to medical advice on self-care regimes. Patient education programmes incorporating psychological techniques are used to support …

Newell-Fonda plays for title shot
DES MOINES – The second-ranked Newell-Fonda girls will look to move one step closer to a state championship here on Wednesday when they face No. 13 Bellevue Marquette in a Class 1A semifinal.
Tip is set for 8:30 p.m. this evening inside Wells Fargo Arena.
The Mustangs (23-2 overall) advanced with a commanding victory over Villisca Monday morning, 75-28. Marquette (17-6) moved on by upsetting fourth-rated Ar-We-Va, 65-57 in overtime.
On the other side of the bracket sits No. 5 Burlington Notre Dame (22-3) and top-ranked Central Lyon (24-2). They play Thursday at 10 a.m., with the finals set for 4 p.m. on Friday.
Newell-Fonda had five players score at least eight points in the win over Villisca, closing out the first half on a 31-4 run to lead 40-14 at halftime. The Mustangs actually trailed 8-5 early on against the Bluejays.
Renee Maneman scored a game-high 15 points on 7 of 11 shooting, while also dealing out six assists and collecting four rebounds and four steals. Andrea Christensen added 14 points and Jordan Wilken scored 11.
Newell-Fonda shot 47-percent from the field, hitting 30 of 64 field goals and going 11-for-12 from the free throw line. The full-court press defense applied by head coach Dick Jungers' squad forced 31 turnovers.
Marquette is in the state tournament for the second time in three years. Danielle Bender posted a double-double in the quarterfinal round, scoring 22 points and grabbing 17 rebounds. Nicole Blum added 11 points off the bench, as did Theresa Koos.
Jungers is 226-49 in 11 years at the helm. Newell-Fonda has runner-up finishes at state in 1997, 2000 and '08. This is the ninth state tournament appearance for the Mustangs all-time.

Senior State Department officials held a background briefing en route Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on June 11, 2011. The officials addressed the goals of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's travel to Africa and previewed the upcoming stops on the trip. The first official said:
"The Secretary's trip is designed to do essentially four things. One is to underscore the continued U.S. commitment to Africa's sustained and long-term economic development through AGOA, which we just completed, MCC, Feed the Future, the Global Health Initiative, and the Partnership for Growth.
"The second objective is to highlight the role of civil society as an engine for advancing democratic governance and sustained economic growth, drawing special attention to women, youth, and the importance of entrepreneurs and the business community.
"The third thing we're trying to do is to showcase U.S. bilateral initiatives with a special emphasis on health, something that we did just an hour or two ago with the Secretary opening a Centre for Excellence in Lusaka.
"And the fourth thing that we're trying to do is emphasize the key role and function of regional bodies such as the African Union, the East African Community, and the role that those institutions can play in helping Africa to resolve some of its political problems as well as deal with some of its economic challenges.
"In all three of the countries being visited, we will also have an opportunity to showcase many of our effective and successful development assistant projects. We will also be engaging with civil society, particularly women, students, and young entrepreneurs. And we will also be stressing the need for strong democratic institutions, good governance. And that means also the fight against corruption.
"In two of the countries that we're visiting, Tanzania and Zambia, we have countries which are committed to strong democratic principles. And in Ethiopia, the third country that we're visiting, we will continue to encourage that government to strengthen its democratic institutions and to open political space for the opposition.
"In Tanzania over the next 36 hours, the Secretary will have an opportunity to showcase the Feed the Future Program, the Global Health Initiative, and to spotlight our relationship with one of our strongest partners in Africa. As many of you know, Tanzania is a very successful and emerging democracy and is a strong development partner. We have the whole of our development programs at work there: MCC with its largest compact at $690 million; we have a Feed the Future Program; we have a Global Health Program; and a strong partnership on PEPFAR, a strong USAID program. And it is one of four countries and one of two African countries which are a part of our Partnership for Growth Program. We look forward to that stop.
"And let me just say in Addis Ababa we will be meeting with the prime minister of that country, Prime Minister Meles, who has been a strong partner in regional security efforts. We will also be meeting with Jean Ping, the head of the African Union. The Secretary will be giving a major speech at the African Union on Tuesday morning, and she will also have an opportunity to meet with key members of the Government of South Sudan."

Warren girls hoops to Quad-A, listed among potential D10 region changes
District 10 announced on Sunday its planned region realignment for the upcoming 2014-2016 high school sports cycle.
While nothing will be made official until the regions are voted on by a committee of District 10 officials in January, there are some significant changes in line for county schools.
Most notably, the Warren Lady Dragons' basketball team has opted to play up to Class AAAA, despite having Class AAA numbers in the next cycle. Warren will compete with Central Tech, East, Fort LeBoeuf, General McLane, McDowell, and Strong Vincent in an all-Class AAAA region beginning next season.
According to Warren coach Lisa Ruhlman, General McLane was going to play Class AAA by class numbers – up from Class AA this season, but first opted to play up to Quad-A. That left the number of Class AAA teams below the threshold for three PIAA playoff teams out of District 10.
Warren would be leaving a Class AAA region that included champion Villa Maria, second-place Mercyhurst Prep, and a classification that includes Hickory, which has defeated Warren in the playoffs each of the past two years.
Ruhlman also noted that the all-Class AAAA Region 7 would be all public schools, Central Tech, McDowell, East, Strong Vincent, General McLane and Fort LeBoeuf, and have two PIAA playoff spots.
Franklin defeated Villa Maria for the District 10 Class AAA title last year, but is dropping to Class AA to play in Youngsville's and Eisenhower's region (see below).
The Warren boys will remain in a Class AAA region with Corry, Fort LeBouef, Girard, Harbor Creek, and General McLane. Class AAA's East and Strong Vincent will jump to Class AAA/AAAA Region 7 to compete in a proposed Erie City League with Cathedral Prep, McDowell, and Central.
Despite moving up to Class AA, the Eisenhower boys and Youngsville girls will play many of the teams they were matched with in the current cycle.
The Knights and Eagles will still compete in Region 3, with the addition of Union City for both boys and girls, Erie First Christian Academy for boys only, and Franklin for girls only. Conneaut, a Class AAA school which competed with Eisenhower and Youngsville due to consolidation of three Class A schools, will be placed in an all Class AAA region.
On the gridiron, Warren's new Class AA region will consist of Corry, Greenville, Grove City, Hickory, Sharon, Slippery Rock, and Titusville. Slippery Rock advanced to the District 10 semifinal in Class AAA this season, and Hickory was defeated in the PIAA state semifinal game in Class AA.
The only change to Youngsville and Eisenhower's Region 2 Class A football schedule will be the addition of Saegertown to replace Mercyhurst Prep, which will move up to Class AA.
Warren baseball will play in Class AAA Region 6, along with Grove City, Meadville, Oil City, Slippery Rock, Conneaut, and Corry. Youngsville and Eisenhower's baseball teams are still in Class A Region 4, which loses Franklin, Maplewood and Titusville, but adds Cochranton and Union City.
The newly formed county-wide golf team will compete against Meadville, Oil City, and Conneaut on the boys side, while the girls remain in a league with Strong Vincent, Meadville, and McDowell.
Here is a look at a few of the proposed regions which could affect county schools (complete proposed regions are available at www.piaadistrict10.org):

It's fishing tourney time on Superior
Anglers are hitting Lake Superior in ever in ever increasing numbers as the weather becomes more conducive to catching fish. Although the action has been spotty in many areas on the big lake, those in the know have been bringing in some nice catches of trout and salmon.
While boat fishermen can be found stretched from the far western end of the Upper Peninsula to Sault Ste. Marie in the east, next weekend will probably find some of the more competitive anglers fishing out of Grand Marais.
Why Grand Marais on June 29-30? Because that is where and when the eighth annual Grand Marais Offshore Challenge will be taking place.
This fishing tournament guarantees a first place prize of $4,000, with the rest of the prize money determined by the number of boats that register.
Things actually get going next Friday, which makes for a nice long weekend of enjoying the Grand Marais area and all it has to offer.
Kicking off the activities will be a special boat inspection conducted by the Grand Marais Coast Guard Auxiliary. The inspections will begin at about 2 p.m. at the village's community center.
The inspections are strictly voluntary, but are good to get so you know everything is in order with your boat and what is required to fish in the tournament.
Next on the agenda will be final registration beginning at 6:30 p.m. Friday and then the mandatory captain's meeting at 7 p.m., with both being at the community center. While only one person from each fishing crew is required to attend the captain's meeting, tourney officials recommend the whole crew come along to hear the rules and other specifics – as well as share in the the pre-tournament excitement.
The real fun begins at 7 a.m. Saturday, June 29, as boats hit the water for a full day of fishing, with all boats required to be back at the dock by 4 p.m. The same 7 a.m. start time is set for Sunday, June 30, with all boats required to be at the dock by 2 p.m.
In fact, not only must all competitors' boats be at the dock by 4 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday, but their fish coolers must be presented for weigh-in by those times.
The format calls for each boat being able to place a total of five fish – any combination of trout and salmon – in their weigh-in coolers with the top three fish tallied each day.
There is no set number for crew size, nor do the same fishermen have to be in the boat both days, but officials will be reminding captains that they need the proper number of anglers for the number of lines they run. In addition, a maximum of four limits of fish can be in the boat at the end of each day's fishing.
While the challenge teams are out on the water the first of the tourney, there will be a special event for anglers 14 years old and younger – a kids fishing pond from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The pond will be stocked with rainbow trout and kids can buy a ticket for $3 and fish until they catch one, which they can keep.
There will also be a couple special meals, including a kick-off dinner at 5:30 p.m. next Friday at the community center and a fish fry beginning at 2 p.m. June 30 at the marina. These meals are open to everyone, not just tournament participants, and the cost is by donations only.
Cost of the challenge is $150 per boat and pre-registration can be made by visiting the Grand Marais website at www.grandmaraismichigan.com and clicking on the challenge's page. More information, including the full set of rules, can also be found on the website or by calling Aleta Hubbard at 906-494-2324 or Logger Hubbard at 906-494-2797.
There's another fishing derby coming up later this summer that deserves a mention here.
The ever-popular Marquette Bay Classic is set for Sept. 7 out of Marquette's Lower Harbor. Put on by the South Shore Fishing Association, the classic takes lots of volunteers and the association is looking for some of its members to get involved with the 2013 Fall Tournament Committee.
If you are interested, send an email to SSFA Vice President Mylan Koski at firstname.lastname@example.com, or simply show up at the committee's first meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Marquette Marquette Ski Area.
Editor's note: City Editor Dave Schneider can be contacted at 906-228-2500, ext. 270.

Stocks Flop as U.S. and Eurozone Show Weakness
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock markets stumbled Thursday on lackluster economic data from the eurozone and softer-than-expected results from the latest U.S. economic indicators.
The euro retreated on worries that Cyprus's financial crisis could compound Europe's debt crisis, and U.S. home re-sales rose less than forecast.
The markets' response to a less-than-expected rise in claims for U.S. unemployment benefits was muted, and investors showed little reaction to reports from the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank's Business Outlook Survey and Conference Board's Index of Leading Indicators that pointed to improving economic growth.
The S&P 500 declined 0.83% to 1,545.80.
Shares of computer services company Oracle
The Nasdaq slumped 0.97% to 3,222.60 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.62% to 14,421.49.
European markets slid and the euro declined 0.29% on the dollar as contagion risks increased on Cyprus's struggles to secure a bailout amid signs of a deepening Euro-area recession.
The FTSE 100 in London slipped 0.69% and the DAX in Germany stumbled 0.87% after Markit Economics said an initial reading on a survey of purchasing managers in the services and manufacturing industries revealed that Europe's economic downturn intensified for a second month in March. Markit also reported that German private sector output slowed this month the most in 2013.
The U.S. Labor Department said initial jobless claims rose 2,000 in the week ended March 16 to 336,000, from an upwardly-revised 334,000 the prior week. That was less than the 342,000 expected by economists.
In housing news, the National Association of Realtors said existing home sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.98 million units in February from an upwardly-revised 4.94 million-unit rate in January. That was less than expectations for an increase of 5 million units in February.
The Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank's Business Outlook Survey for March showed an improvement in manufacturing conditions to 2 from a contraction of 12.5, which was better than the decline of 2 predicted by economists.
And the Conference Board's Index of Leading Indicators rose 0.5% in February after increasing by an upwardly-revised 0.5% in January, exceeding expectations for a 0.4% rise.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury rose 10/32, diluting the yield to 1.927%, as the dollar shed 0.05%, according to the U.S. dollar index.
May crude oil futures fell $1.05 to settle at $92.45 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Allen Rowe Northern Nevada Coin
Douglas Winter: This is the rarest and most famous eagle from the Carson City mint. It is actually close in overall rarity to the highly-prized (and priced!) double eagle of this date/mint but it is less popular and still only valued at a fraction of its larger cousin. There were 5,098 struck and I believe that around 50 or so are known today. Most 1870-CC eagles are very well-worn as this issue, like nearly all the early gold pieces from this mint, saw considerable use in local commerce. Any 1870-CC eagle that grades Extremely Fine is quite rare and properly graded AU's are very rare with around a half dozen or so known to me. The finest 1870-CC eagle that I have seen is a PCGS AU55 (last sold as ANR 8/06: 1341) that brought $115,000 which is a record for this issue. Every example I have seen is heavily bagmarked and most are weakly struck on the hair along the face. Most have been cleaned or dipped and negative eye appeal tends to greatly impact this issue.David Akers (1975/88): The 1870-CC is one of the two rarest Carson City Mint Eagles, comparable in overall rarity to the lower mintage 1879-CC. However, if one takes condition rarity into account as well as overall rarity, then the 1870-CC would be rated as the rarest Eagle from this Mint. In fact, only the famous Double Eagle of the same date surpasses the 1870-CC Eagle as the rarest of all Carson City gold coins. To the best of my knowledge, this very rare date is unknown in strictly uncirculated condition.

Riding to stable pastures
A program for disabled children is moving to a permanent home.
By ANNE LINDBERG
Published May 18, 2007
SEMINOLE - Clearing has begun at a county park to make way for a horseback riding program that caters to the disabled.
When the facility at Walsingham Horseman's Park is finished, it will provide a place to permanently stable some of the horses used in the program. The new facility also may allow the 27-year-old program to expand, said Bob Maus, president of the Kiwanis Horses for Handicapped Foundation of Pinellas County Inc. The foundation is sponsored by the seven Kiwanis clubs in south Pinellas.
The Horses for Handicapped Program, also known as the Rough Riders, has been using the riding ring at the Seminole Technical Education Center. But the horses cannot stay there and must be transported to the site every Saturday from September through May.
Having permanent stabling at the new center will mean greater safety for the horses because they will not need to travel as frequently. It also will allow the Kiwanis to offer the program during the week, which will open it to more adults. The program, which now serves about 40 riders from as far away as Pasco County, often has a waiting list.
The idea behind the program takes a cue from the words of Winston Churchill: "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man."
The truth of that is something Lisa Panish discovered from the changes in her 4-year-old twins, Chase and Connor Wilson, who have cerebral palsy.
Her sons began the program by petting and brushing the horses, then graduated to riding.
"They've gotten much more secure, " Panish said. "Their trunk control is much better."
The lessons are about 45 minutes long, depending on the child's strength and ability. During the lessons the horses, which are chosen for their calm nature, are accompanied by volunteers from such organizations as the Girl Scouts. They help make sure the horses make no sudden moves.
The riders are given exercises to perform while the horses are standing and moving. One such exercise is for the rider to twist around to touch the top of the horse's tail. Another has the rider lying down on the horse's back. Yet another has the rider sitting on top of the horse with crossed legs.
"It's a confidence builder. It's a strength builder, " said Jenny Mazgaj.
Mazgaj's twin daughters, Nina and Katie, 10, suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder because of the two years they spent in a Bulgarian orphanage as infants.
When the twins began the program, they would not walk past the adjacent pasture because they were afraid of the cows inside.
Now that they're riding, they've fallen in love with the horses and demand their mother drive them by even when the program is not in session.

Last January, I talked about establishing your business online on Google Places. Once people search for a specific business category, they will find a complete list of all businesses and their information. Related: Google Places: Few Steps to Publish your Business Online. It Works Perfect in Benghazi
But if you want to find, let's say, a mosque in Benghazi, you won't find it online unless you ask one of your friends. To find this mosque online and its location on a map, someone has to add this information to any map online.
There are many ways that people can add places on a map online. Google places one of them. This two ways are easier and more informative than any thing else:
1- Using Wikimapia.org
This website uses the idea of people can add their places. This is the easiest things I found online to add some places. The benefit from this website is people add informal places that no one think to add. It's not official website that you get official places, but people who are the responsible for these places. The power of people is translated on this map. Go and check it. Try to write any mosque's name and you will find it easily. Go to wikimapia and add your own places such as your home or your business. As much as people add places, the website will increase its credibility to becomes an important resource.
2- Using Foursquare App
Have you ever checked In using Facebook. Usually people like prove that they are in a specific and spacial place. They share that with other people. What if you find some good information on this place. This is exactly what Foursquare dose.
Foursqaure helps you to check in and gives you some information and people's review on this place. Foursqaure is an app on your phone and it uses your GPS to locate your location. And then gives you informative review by people, such as best restaurant close to your location. It's fun, playful, and informative. You can also access to Foursqaure.com and check some places.
This app uses the power of people, because people who are responsible on adding these places. I use this app daily. I add as many places and review them as much to help other people finding the right information.
People should take advantages of this technology. They can adopt the new way of accessing data and information among this insanely increased technology.

China Glaze Riveting
- by Playing with Polish
It seems that I might be the only person who hasn't read the Hunger Games books, or seen the movie. I wasn't able to ignore the polish though! I just had to grab several polishes from China Glaze's Capitol Colors Hunger Games collection. When I saw Riveting at Sally's it struck me as being an autumn color. I am not feeling spring pastels at the moment, so although I generally avoid oranges this bright color seemed to fit the bill. It has been overcast and raining pretty much all week, so a pop of color is most welcome! I like it in the bottle, but this bright orange and gold shimmer is even better on the nail. It is such a flattering bright orange that is totally on trend. There is not doubt that this fiery color is perfect for spring and summer. Based on the promos I have seen, some of the movie's costumes are a real visual treat. Maybe I should go see it after all
Application was excellent. This polish really glides on. Two coats and a top coat shown.

Prince Harry, U.S. Navy Lt. Brad Snyder open 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte officially opened today at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., highlighted by a march of the 260 wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans who will compete in the fourth annual competition. With Prince Harry and 1,200 others in attendance, U.S. Navy Lt. Brad Snyder, who competed at the 2012 Warrior Games before winning three medals at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, lit the cauldron to signify the start of the Games, which features seven sports.
"It is tough being at the Warrior Games as an ambassador and a mentor because in my heart, I'm an athlete and a competitor. But I am so proud to be here," Lt. Snyder said. "Last year, I watched from the athlete section as Melissa Stockwell lit the cauldron as the honorary torchbearer, and I was so inspired. I am thankful for the opportunity this year to light the cauldron and pass the torch to these athletes, and help them find their place in a Movement that means so much to me."
U.S. Army retired First Lieutenant Stockwell, the first female solider wounded in Iraq, had her left leg amputated above the knee in 2004 after her convoy vehicle was hit by an explosive device in Baghdad. She went on to swim at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games and is a paratriathlon hopeful for 2016.
Snyder, who was blinded by an improvised explosive device while serving in Afghanistan in Sept. 2011, was accompanied to the cauldron by four-time Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin and Prince Harry. Snyder received the torch from Prince Harry, who, through a partnership between The Royal Foundation and the USOC, is focused on improving physical activity opportunities for wounded warriors and persons with physical disabilities in the United Kingdom and United States.
The torch relay started with competitors in the Warrior Games: retired Specialist First Class Luis Puertas (Orland, Fla.), Army; Lance Cpl. Artem Lazukin (El Cajon, Calif.) accompanied by Sgt. Eric Rodriguez (San Diego, Calif.), Marines; retired Boatswain's Mate 1st Class Jim Castaneda (San Antonio, Calif.) accompanied by Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Angelo Anderson (Jacksonville, N.C.), Navy; Captain Sarah Evans (San Antonio, Texas), Air Force; Army Staff Sergeant Alfredo Delossantos (Hopewell Junction, N.Y.), SOCOM; and Captain Dave Henson (Southampton, England), British Armed Forces. Henson then passed the torch to Prince Harry.
Held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center and the United States Air Force Academy, the 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte is a competition for wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans hosted by the USOC and supported by the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, USO, Fisher House Foundation, AT&T, BP, Budweiser and the Semper Fi Fund.
Additional guests for today's festivities included the participants' friends and family, team support staffs, community and military leaders, government officials, sponsors, and USOC and National Governing Body staff members.
Patrick Sandusky, USOC chief of communications, acted as the master of ceremonies. Other event highpoints included performances of the U.S. and British national anthems by the United States Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Band and remarks from Jim Benson, chairman of the Paralympic Advisory Committee, Robin Lineberger, chief executive officer, Deloitte Federal Government Services, Senator Mark Udall, Colorado, Congressman Doug Lamborn, Colorado District 5, and Admiral James A. Winnefeld, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"At this time last year, Brad Snyder was only eight months removed from his injury, competing at the Warrior Games," said Scott Blackmun, chief executive officer for the USOC. "Today, he joined us in the Opening Ceremony as a three-time Paralympic Games medalist, which is testament to how powerful this event can be for wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans. After competing here, there is no limit to what these men and women will be able to accomplish."
Starting May 12, five U.S. Armed Forces teams (Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy/Coast Guard and Special Operations) and the British Armed Forces team will face off in archery, cycling, shooting, sitting volleyball, swimming, track and field and wheelchair basketball.
Individual and team medals will be awarded as well as the Chairman's Cup, which is given to the highest-performing service branch. The Marines claimed the honors for the past three consecutive years. Nine athletes will also vie for the title of Ultimate Champion, which is a pentathlon style event that pits warriors against each other in a variety of disciplines.
Competitions are free and open to the public.

HCOB - CIAS News
Digital Forensics Tour of Global EDGE
Thursday, March 27, 2014
On March 27th 2014, Dr. Mark Schmidt, Director of the CIAS, had the opportunity to tour the Global EDGE St. Cloud premises along with graduate students from his Digital Forensics and Ethics class. The Global Edge Executive team, Jay Cherry (President) and Ms. Cheryl Patton (Director of Operations) gave us a concise background of the company, and went on to explain the purpose behind their business and what they do, while Chief Information Officer, John Nokes discussed their methodology from a data and information security standpoint. Global EDGE is a risk management organization that focuses on client/vendor support; data and decision sciences; software development and other business functions. They mainly vet companies by making sure you're dealing with real suppliers as fraud is rampant.
Vetting suppliers is critical in business as research indicates that roughly 5% of a company's revenue is lost to fraud. Global EDGE is therefore assuring business integrity between parties by using a data-driven Multi-Factor Authentication methodology in order to ensure the existence, credibility and reliability of companies willing to do business together. Needless to say that data security is very critical given the nature of the data Global EDGE has access to, and manipulates: internal audits to check procedures and actions, penetration testing, data encryption and rigorous regression tests on applications are just a few examples of procedures employed in order to secure the data and its integrity.
The main focus of interest was on their patent-pending Multi-Factor Authentication which employs techniques very similar to those used in digital forensics in order to gather pieces of information that would be rather meaningless should they be considered individually, and put them together in order to construct an accurate profile of the company (isolation of potential fraud incidents), and make informed predictions on the likelihood of a healthy business partnership (outcome-based isolation fraud detection). As the speakers so eloquently described, this meticulous and data oriented process is simply answering to the question: "As a real business are you leaving footprints?" Quite fitting should an analogy be made with the field of Digital Forensics.
The students were able to work on a case study involving a real incident that Global EDGE researched in the past, and were given the opportunity to brainstorm and come up with ideas and potential techniques Global EDGE could use in the case resolution and possible future occurrences. The students gained a lot of insight from a real-world case scenario.
We thank Global EDGE for their time and consideration, and we're looking forward to future opportunities to visit.

During the last week in October, the winner of a record five Oscars and producer of "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis" and "Central Station" was feted in Shanghai at his very own "Arthur Cohn Day" by the Chinese government and film industry.
He used the occasion of a retrospective of his works at the Shanghai International Film Festival to premiere his latest documentary, "Children of the Night."
Conceived as a cinematic memorial to the 1.3 million Jewish children who perished in the Holocaust -- and their rescue from the anonymity of statistics -- the film resurrects the faces of its subjects, sometimes at play, more often ragged and starving.
Although the film is only 18-minutes long, Cohn spent three years scouring archives across the world for material, of which only six yielded scraps of usable footage.
For the feature film to follow the documentary at the Shanghai festival, Cohn had originally selected his 1995 movie "Two Bits" with Al Pacino. However, government officials in Beijing insisted on "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis," the 1971 classic about an aristocratic Italian-Jewish family that is ultimately destroyed by the fascists.
Cohn says that he took the Beijing fiat as a signal that "the theme of the Holocaust has been openly recognized by the Chinese government for the first time."
His reception in Shanghai was remarkable, as press and public mobbed him like some rock star. More than 130 journalists covered his press conference, during which a giant banner above his head proclaimed "World Famous Producer Arthur Cohn" in Chinese and English.
For the screening itself, Chinese fans fought for tickets to the 2,000-seat theater. When the two films ended, the audience sat, as if stunned, for three-minutes, before quietly leaving.
For most Chinese, it was their initial introduction to a Holocaust theme. Said a young hotel manager, "Six million dead ... that's as if they murdered every bicyclist in this city."
A reporter for the Shanghai Star perceived that "Cohn seems to cherish a special feeling for the Jews." Indeed, the producer's next release will be "One Day in September," referring to the terrorist attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.
The production will be a "thriller with documentary footage," says Cohn, with Michael Douglas in the central role of the commentator.
"One Day in September" will have its world premiere on Jan. 18 in Los Angeles, under the auspices of the American Film Institute.
A couple of days later Cohn arrived in Hollywood to report on his Shanghai triumph and participate in the first annual International Jewish Film Festival here.
He officiated at the American premiere of "Children of the Night" and presented an award to veteran actor Gregory Peck.
Cohn, who stands a rangy six-foot, three inches, is a third generation Swiss citizen and resident of Basel.
His father, Marcus, was a respected lawyer and a leader of the Swiss religious Zionist movement. He settled in Israel in 1949, helped to write many of the basic laws of the new state, and served as Israel's assistant attorney general until his death in 1953.
The family's Zionist roots go even deeper. The producer's grandfather and namesake, Rabbi Arthur Cohn, was the chief rabbi of Basel. He was a friend of Theodor Herzl and one of the few leaders in the Orthodox rabbinate to support the founder of modern Zionism.
It was because of this support, says Cohn, that Herzl chose Basel, rather than one of Europe's more glittering capitals, as the site of the first Zionist Congress in 1897.
Of the filmmaker's three children, two sons have served in the Israeli army and studied at Israeli universities.

Rated 4.1 out of 5�by 134 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by offtothebeach Just what we were looking for THis is the beach shade we were looking for. Way more compact that an ez-up awning. This can also be staked down. Good feature. September 19, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Grandma light weight So far we have used it 4 times and have had no problems with it but so far there has been no strong wind. We love it. September 7, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by lion great at the beach My wife and i got this so we can go to the beach but still have shade when we want. works great but i would buy longer stakes for windy days they work better 10 inch one. we are very happy with it August 30, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by PVenkman Wonderful sun cover For anything from a day at the beach to out door event this takes the sun off your back August 20, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Rick9876 Great but has limitations... The Sport Brella XL was fantastic until we found windy conditions or beach sand that was too hard or not hard enough. We always needed to weigh down the stakes with coolers or backpacks to keep the stakes in the sand. Once we did that, we had a fantastic shelter from the sun. On a recent windy day the grommets could not take the strain and were pulled from the fabric holding the grommets. My answer to these problems is to have 9 inch stakes, a hammer, and 6 sand bags (to fill with beach sand) plus use the side pockets to add beach sand. Love the shad and comfort this Sport Brella XL provides...... August 19, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Don16 Did not last long We used this item once with no problem but the next time we took it out to the beach it was a breezy day. The ribs inside bent out of shape and then broke off from the center slide on the pole and one of the ribs ripped the material. Save yours money and purchase a different one. I wish I had. August 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Angieo Love love love!! So easy to use! Up in seconds and ready to go. So glad we decided on the larger one for our family of 5. August 12, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Marlee33 Almost perfect Easy to assemble for sure but was unable to use on one of our beach days as it was windy & the sand was dry. The stakes did not hold well in the sand for the windy conditions. Really need fairly heavy soil or at least partially damp sand with only moderate wind conditions for it to hold up. We used it once & it was great. It will be used again many times I'm sure but would recommend a heavier type tent for beach generally. July 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by SportBrella4eva The sport brella XL is excellent. You need this guy in your life. You've packed up your car and you're heading to the beach for the day. Your rotten kids are irritable and driving everyone crazy in the heat but you remain calm because you're a pro--you brought your sport brella XL. Once you arrive at the beach and your kids immediately ditch you, leaving you to lug everything by yourself, you find yourself smiling. Why are you smiling? Because you have your sport brella XL already comfortably slung over your shoulder whilst carrying your beach bag and cooler in your free hands! You pick your spot on the beach and effortlessly perform the sport brella XL three second set up, BAM. Done. From the comfort and shade of your sport brella XL you watch your sweet baby angel children play in the water. You offer a sympathic smile shrug to the flustered couple near by as they argue and struggle to put together the stupid tent they bought at REI--keep your voices down and get a sport brella XL, you fools. July 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by JJSMom95 Perfect for the beach No one wants to worry about their expensive beach umbrella blowing away or breaking due to the wind. This Sport-Brella is fantastic. It stays put and offers a great amount of sun coverage without being bulky or heavy. We comfortably fit 3 adults and a cooler with room to spare. Love it. July 5, 2016

Big ups to Cotto for taking this fight. I cannot wait for this one.
Also another example that, unlike 5-6 years ago, for the most part, all the big fights boxing fans want to see are happening right now in the sport. I credit MMA with applying pressure to the sport, to the boxers, to make these fights happen. Outside of the heavyweight division, all the negative press we read abotu boxing earlier in this century has rightfully gone away.
Boxing's never been better in my mind, which is saying a lot given the fact the heavyweight division doesn't even exist. With guys like Mayweather, Cotto, Margarito, Vasquez, The Marqeuzes, Pac Man, Pavlik .... we've been treated to great fight after great fight these last 2-3 years, seemingly a big one every 3-4 weeks.
http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing ... id=3397573
The fight of the summer is signed, sealed and delivered.
Welterweight titleholder Miguel Cotto will face Antonio Margarito on July 26 in an HBO PPV bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas now that both have signed for the much-anticipated fight, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com on Thursday.
"I get really excited about a fight like this because I know it can't be anything but great," Arum said. "That's why we're calling it 'The Battle.' It's a tough-ass fight. Two real men fighting. There won't be any playing around. No ducking or dodging. These are two guys who will go at it. That is their style. And don't forget the element that it is Mexico vs. Puerto Rico, which is the great rivalry in boxing."
The fight matching two of boxing's most exciting fighters has been on track since April 12, when they both knocked out opponents on the same card.
Cotto (32-0, 26 KOs), of Puerto Rico, stopped "Contender" star Alfonso Gomez in the fifth round to retain his 147-pound belt for the fourth time and Margarito blew out Kermit Cintron via sixth-round knockout in a rematch.
"These guys both have great chins, great determination and great power," Arum said. "It's going to be some battle. I just hope that they are not ruined from a fight like this."
Mexico's Margarito (36-5, 26 KOs) won a world title from Cintron, but he will relinquish it in order to face Cotto rather than fight Joshua Clottey in a far less lucrative mandatory match. Arum said Margarito would officially renounce his title "within the next week."
Before Margarito, 30, defeated Cintron, he had already agreed to terms for the Cotto fight as long as they both won on April 12, Arum said. Cotto, 27, was also committed to the fight, but did not sign until Wednesday night, Arum said.
"Margarito signed off before his fight with Cintron," Arum said. "Cotto wanted the fight but we were going over terms and minutia, and finally Miguel and his team agreed on everything last night."

Family heirlooms share the stage with creative Thanksgiving fare on this Thanksgiving table.
When is comes to Thanksgiving, Karry Hosford pulls out the good stuff�her family silver, china and crystal. But this mother of three and contributing photographer for Relish injects comfort into the rest of the big meal. Guest are casually attired and the children are never relegated to a kids' table�they join right in the celebration.
Karry and her chef-husband Doug add contemporary twists to traditional Southern dishes, and they design their menu to reflect Karry's relaxed style and Doug's Southern roots. Bacon and pecans abound in everything from the salad to the sweet potato casserole. And more than a little bourbon is enjoyed before the meal.
Family heirlooms share the stage with creative Thanksgiving fare, making for a celebration that's Southern comfort at it's best: good food, good friends and good drink.

Western Digital on Thursday denied reports that it ceased shipments of hard disk drives to Taiwanese customers. The company continues to serve all its clients worldwide in the situation when most of its production capacities are halted.
Early on Thursday a Taiwan-based web-site reported that Western Digital had "notified its distributors in Taiwan that the company [would not] distribute any hard drives [...] to Taiwan in November". Apparently, the reports are "greatly exaggerated" and the company continues to provide hard drives to its customers around the world, probably in limited quantities.
"The statements made [by the web-site] are false. We understand our customers' concerns. WD and our suppliers are significantly supply constrained.

Due to severe flooding in Thailand, Western Digital had to halt all of its hard drive manufacturing facilities, which responded for 60% of its output. Nonetheless, the company continues to make hard drives at other factories and has stockpiled drives available for shipments.
Independent industry analysts believe that the industry will hard enough hard disk drives for Q4 2011 and actual shortages may occur in the first quarter of next year. Nonetheless, this does not exclude local situations of tight supply.

Staff Pick from ATONEMENT
Tyler Dinapoli, Vice President, Advertising & Field Marketing for Focus Features, picks a scene from ATONEMENT as one of his favorites.
'What I love about this sequence is that it begins with a small intimate shot of lost soldiers and progresses to a reveal that would make David Lean proud. Following these characters through an unbroken shot of the beach at Dunkirk is almost like a painting come to life. We witness the caught moments of soldiers, whom may be defeated in body, but are certainly not in mind.'

Here's the topic for today's discussion:
When John MacArthur appeared on Larry King Live to address the issue of same-sex marriage, San Francisco Mayor, Gavin Newsom scoffed at the concerns some have over the "slippery slope"—i.e., if you allow same-sex marriage, why not allow people to marry children or pets? (Click here to watch the video.)
Obviously, within the evolutionary worldview, there is no way to draw the line on human sexuality and remain consistent. Remind me…Why do Christians want to harmonize evolution and the Bible? (Don't answer that; it was rhetorical!)
Here's a good topic for the comment thread: How can you use the "evolving" cultural attitudes on sexuality as a conversation-starter for evangelism?

If we were like Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, we would speak of how man is not "evolving" but rather how man is rapidly devolving and the Day is coming when all of mankind will hide themselves in caves and among the rocks of the mountains and will cry out for the mountains and the rocks to fall on them and hide them from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb which is coming (see Revelation 6:15,16 and 17). If we were full of grace and faith we would "bleed much Bible" and if we were able to exhort we would get rather personal about it as did Stephen (see Acts 7: 52, 53).
Paul in his "defense" before Felix spoke about faith in Christ Jesus. And what did he discuss? "And as he was discussing righteousness, self control and judgment to come, Felix became frightened…" (Acts 24:25). That sounds a lot like the Holy Spirit doesn't it? "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment" (John 16:8). Paul's use of the word rendered self control specifically referred to self control of sexual lusts, a sin which Felix was in bondage to. Paul got rather personal didn't he? We have heard many biblically illiterate individuals who have a form of godliness tell us that that is the role of the Holy Spirit and not our role. I guess Paul and Stephen never got the message. John MacArthur's book "Ashamed of the Gospel" has a glorious example of what it is to not be ashamed of the gospel in the appendix. It is entitled "Carnal v. Spiritual Wisdom". It is taken from Thomas Boston's The Art of Manfishing. Oh, how far we have fallen from authentic Biblical evangelism. May Our Merciful and Faithful High Priest grant us much mercy and even more enabling grace –His Unworthy Slave

How can we use the "evolving" cultural attitudes on sexuality as a conversation-starter for evangelism?
We start asking people questions.Such as,if evolution is true and there are no biblical standards,why should I not commit adultery,or not steal,or not lie,or not kill? If it's just about survival and domination all those things are meaningless. Do any of us want to live in a society where those things don't matter? I don't think any rational human could not see how horrible life would be under those conditions. We have truly been blessed by a loving Creator that has given us true values and the Holy Spirit to act as a restraint on our evil hearts.

This topic is a great launch pad for the gospel. We can show how this worldview leaves us with complete despair. No meaning exists thus anything goes. We can then show how this is being lived out in our culture. Rather than things getting better things are getting worse. This can lead to sin and its progression in the last times. If they deny sin we can use evolution to show anything goes. We can say "Fine. What transcendent code says if I murder or rape its bad? " They will object. You can show them that is God's law in their conscience and springboard to sin and grace in Christ.
I am enjoying the conversation. Thank you everyone for their input!

US-Dakota War discussion continues
To the editor:
In response to Mr. LaBatte's letter: I appreciate that you provided some of the facts clarifying a few of the figures I was referring to, along with some additional information. In order to further this discussion, I would like to clarify some of what I meant in my original letter. Before this, it is important to make a brief note on current research regarding historical facts.
When relying on historical records, it is vital to understand the socio-historical context in which they were created. Even in Western historical records there is an element of subjectivity that is innately related to societal power dynamics. Given this factor, it is clear that there are key perspectives from Dakota people about what happened in Minnesota's history that are not validated by modern historians. Therefore, it is indeed the case that we must present an accurate, balanced and respectful truth about what happened in the past.
Now, it is true that Dr. Charles Eastman did have a voice through his writings in the early 1900's. However, this does not mean that all Dakota people have had a voice. Although there may have not been any obvious "impediments to Dakota people expressing themselves orally or in writing," there certainly were social impediments. The history of race relations regarding American Indians in the United States must be considered in this type of discussion.
You are correct that nothing diminishes the fact that 650 settlers were killed. This is tragic by all means, and as I said, I do not mean to diminish the suffering that settlers faced. Hence, I agree with you on the point that despite the fact that many Dakota people were friendly, it does not change that some Dakota people did kill settlers. Further, it is vital to be very careful of how the word "genocide" is used. Again, the larger historical context must be taken into consideration when discussing these types of issues. An attempt to pin genocide on the Dakota people based on the killing of settlers in the month long war of 1862 is inappropriate.
Additionally, there are arguments that despite the fact that 38 Dakota were implicated in 99 civilian murders, some of these were likely wrongful accusations. The remaining Dakota of the 303 that were originally sentenced were imprisoned in Davenport, Iowa, regardless of their acquittal. One thousand-seven hundred Dakota people were forcibly placed in a concentration camp at Fort Snelling in the winter of 1862. How this is not to be considered a prison camp is beyond me. After that winter, the 1,310 surviving Dakota were forcibly sent to Crow Creek on the Missouri River. There were many Dakota that died from exposure and hunger during this time. Although not all Dakota were exiled from the state, the point is that many innocent Dakota people were. Essentially, Dakota people were punished regardless of their actions during the war by virtue of being Dakota.
The claim of Dakota people arriving in south-western Minnesota in about 1700 as a fact is contestable. Before coming to a conclusion on this, it is vital that the perspective of Dakota people and their oral histories be considered along with the perspectives of Western historians. We must be very careful of privileging certain stories while marginalizing others, which I assume we can agree upon.
Lastly, your statement that the Dakota "did not write treaties" is obvious. I never implied that they did. However, I suggested that the treaties giving the United States this particular land were negotiated hastily and many of the Dakota people signing them were not honestly dealt with. I also realize that the settlers were not land thieves and that they did not take part in the treaty negotiations. This was a complex situation and I agree that the treaty system is much too complicated to attempt to discuss in an editorial. In fact, it seems that much of this is too complex to adequately address in this space.
Most importantly, I would like to thank you for your response. I agree that the truth about all sides of this war need to be heard and listened to. Hopefully we can do this with our hearts and not just our heads. In this regard, we can see that by the virtue of human nature this is a many sided story. Even more, we are not examining this story from the distant future. Rather, we are active participants right in the middle of it. The intention in my original response was to address the notion of "two sides" and offer an expanded perspective. Undoubtedly, it takes all of us to engage in this story for healing to take place.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Risk vs. Reward
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The stock market is all about risk and reward, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" Wednesday.
In today's market, the perfect analogy is Caterpillar
Cramer explained that Caterpillar shares continue to slide thanks, in part, to weakened iron ore and mineral demand world wide. While the company's construction business is picking up, its mining equipment business continues to pull down the entire company, which caused yet another analyst downgrade for CAT earlier today. Shares now trade at just nine times earning and yield 2.5%.
Compare that to ConAgra, said Cramer, which trades at 14 times earnings with a 2.9% yield. While CAT continues to fall, raising its yield, ConAgra shares continue to climb, thereby lowering its yield. While CAT suffers from falling commodity prices, ConAgra benefits from lower food and packaging costs.
So which stock is the better buy? Cramer said ConAgra lets its shareholders sleep at night, while Caterpillar may still have further to fall. There may not be a lot of upside left in ConAgra, but the risk in CAT far exceeds the lack of rewards in ConAgra. He advised sticking with ConAgra for now and waiting for the bottom in CAT to materialize.
Executive Decision: Gary Evans
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Gary Evans, chairman and CEO of Magnum Hunter Resources
But after all of that, Cramer said Magnum may have finally turned a corner, finding a buyer for its Eagle Ford shale assets and giving the company a much-needed infusion of cash.
Evans said that it's taken a lot of capital to build out the company's positions in the Utica and Marcellus shale regions, investments that required the company take on a good amount of debt. However, they were able to make an 80% return on the sale of their Eagle Ford assets, which were the smallest of their positions.

Way OT, but the suits in NY have to realize that the NFL is on the road to being the NBA if the league does not roll back the O friendly rules and make it possible to not only compete but win a sausage with a QB who is not a first ballot HOF'er? I mean they have to see this, no?
We can hope. But maybe, like the NBA, they look at the ratings and say "You can't argue with the numbers", ignoring the fact that more people are tuning in hoping to see the hated teams lose than to watch their favorite team win.
The NBA had good numbers last year, and I can't remember a time when less people liked it. The NFL can certainly head down that road, since the must-have-elite-QB policy is negating a huge chunk of teams before the season even begins. People will start tuning in only to see other teams lose since their team is out of it before it begins.

Just about any time of the school year students seek good quality information to use with assignments and projects. Unfortunately, most kids head right to a computer or portable device and fire up Google, despite that teachers and librarians devote substantial classroom time and energy introducing students to curated online research resources.
To help children use higher quality information sources, we adults need to learn a bit more about online databases and share that information. At home, as often as possible, we should reinforce school lessons or create our own, reminding our children that while results from Google provide a vast number of links, many are of questionable quality and others are irrelevant. Although making judgements and decisions about the links that appear in the typical Google search are useful skills to develop, the time to fine tune these abilities is not when a child is working on an important report or project.

According to recent surveys conducted by the Wedding Channel and TheKnot.com, the average cost of an American wedding in 2011 came in at upwards of $27,000. It is rapidly approaching the height of wedding season and as you gather decoration ideas at all of the weddings you attend, make sure that you are also thinking about how to cut costs at your own celebration.

More female voices need to be heard
The February Chautauqua County Legislative meeting had a marathon quality about it. Despite the length of four hours, there was a lot of public interest about the County Home. Having been on the agenda before, the supporters to keep the County Home were there in force.
I noticed that women made 100 percent of the comments in favor of keeping the home, plus one man, which created a provocative question. What made my thumbnail survey so skewed? Was it a mindset of compassion, jobs, finances or a combination? Why were the pro-sell men so blistering in their comments and more likely to discount those who disagreed, citing such points as poor care and the investigations into the company, plus the personal plea of a 99-year-old resident? It was a compelling drama with the public involved.
Definitely, the general attitude in the legislature, supported by the County Executive, was to sell the Home due to its burdening effect on the budget. How wonderful it was to see how willing the legislature wanted to revise the "super majority" rule so a simple majority could "get the deal done." How comforting to see that lack of being budget-minded in the past could be remedied by this sale. Yes, the elderly – our most venerable citizens – have to pay the ultimate price and feel insecure about shelter, one of our four basic needs.
Well, that was not going to happen as long as Lori Cornell could make a difference in the outcome. One of her grandparents had once been a resident at the County Home and she was willing to stand up for this healthcare facility. This is the second time Cornell has come to the forefront to protect a public asset, and the other had to do with Chautauqua Lake and algae growth.
Cornell always does her homework and takes on hard issues, despite the overwhelming number of men as legislators and committee members. Three women, which means just 17 percent is female, signifies a lack of balance in the county legislature regarding any debate of a proposition. When it came to comments made by males, their voices seemed endless. The most loquacious male in the legislature made people groan in my section of the audience. In addition, a few "point of order" interruptions were made in an attempt to cut off Cornell in her pursuit of accountability from the County Executive's "flip/flop" position on the County Home.
This leads into the topic of Women's History Month and the need for more women's voices to be heard. An article published in the OBSERVER on March 7 by Renee Gravelle cited examples of women in Chautauqua County's past. Her historical effort should be common knowledge for local females, providing successful models to imitate. Doing an amateur survey about esteemed women with bystanders, over ten people cited their mothers and teachers, traditional roles. Two answers made me do a double-take with "The Statue of Liberty" (yes, that was a male response), and a 20-something female mentioned Disney's cartoon females.
Recently, a prominent female, Sheryl Sandberg, has thrown her hat into the self-defeating cultural ring of female images. Too many negative labels inhibit women. How often does the label "go-getter" refer to a male – a positive attribute? When it comes to women, that same quality would translate to "b**ch." Sandberg, who is in top management at Facebook, explains her success by acknowledging her own initiative rather than "luck," as some people would like to believe.
Needless to say, the cultural "blacklisting" of female achievers gets little attention unless it is in the areas of parenting, cosmetic fanaticism, prostitution or social deviance that preys on younger males – to name some bizarre attention-getters. Singling out the weird examples does not promote any woman's best in a male-dominated society.
Thinking about some exceptional females and looking to the recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize, there were some eye-opening details. In the last 20 years, 35 percent of the winners were women. In 1979, Mother Theresa was awarded the prize for her work with the poor. As for the other females, generally, their efforts included human rights, social justice for the indigenous populations, resolving international conflicts and efforts for female rights. Two women, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (Liberian president from 2008-present) and Leymah Gbowee won together, along with a third woman, Tawakkol Karman, in 2011.
With American culture, the motto should be "The board room, not the bedroom." For too long, women have not seized the moment and have let their efforts be controlled by others. Women's excellence gets little attention unless it is sensational, especially when it is about their bodies. Wouldn't it be exceptional to have some Harriet Tubmans out there being cunning, courageous and willing to take risks for gender equality?
