*Thirty-five years ago when I grew up in east Tennessee the only people I saw with tattoos were members of a motorcycle gang.
I had to go to school on the other side of town to see white people, because only black people went to my church and lived in my neighborhood.
When my teacher, Ms. Alfaro, told me I should take Spanish class seriously I didn't believe it. I thought she was loco! Since that time I've learned there's more to life than black and white, tattoos are a form of expression and in some states, such as Texas where I reside now, I'm more likely to hear Spanish than English.
A lot has changed since I grew up. I've adapted, but some people are having a problem with it. Why else would a sports writer say a NFL quarterback can't be an effective leader because he has too many tattoos? In the NFL athletes are judged by their stats, not one writer's perception of how a leader should or should not look. And if he had taken the time to read the tattoos or ask San Francisco 49er's quarterback Colin Kaepernick about his body art he would have known they are Bible verses. Even Jesus might approve.
And what causes a 45-year old man to get into a shouting match with a bunch of teenagers over their loud music at a Jacksonville gas station and become so enraged that he shoots into their SUV and drives off? It happened on Black Friday. When police caught up with Michael David Dunn at his home 160 miles away he said he felt threatened by the teens, but he didn't bother to tell police about the incident before they showed up on his doorstep the next day to charge him with the murder of 17-year old Jordan Davis who was unarmed and seated in the back of that SUV.
Obviously Dunn didn't like their music and maybe he didn't like that the teens stood up for themselves instead of backing down. Thirty-five years ago when Dunn grew up teenagers probably wouldn't dare play their rap music so loud, let alone talk back when told to turn it down.
I've often wondered how people who once were in control of everything – politics, business, finance and yes, the NFL quarterback position – deal with having to share that power with others who don't look like them, don't talk like them, express themselves in a different way and don't care what others think it.
Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man" is not-so invisible anymore. Times have changed and some people should too. But it's probably going to get worse for them before it gets better for everybody.
I admit I get annoyed when my Latino co-workers carry on extended conversations in Spanish at audio level 8 across the room at work. Maybe I'm old school, but I think it's rude for people to talk in another language when others around them don't know what they're saying. U.S. Census calculations show Latinos will be the majority in Texas by 2020. Still I hope they are considerate of us who don't speak fluent Spanish. And they probably think I should have paid more attention in Spanish class.

Last summer, Townhall.com columnist and author Katie Pavlich live-tweeted a fantastic conversation with an Italian immigrant cab driver. The driver, passionately pro-American, was terribly concerned about the direction our country had taken. Today, Pavlich once again found herself in the company of that driver, and she kindly shared his wisdom with her followers:
Indeed. We'd love to meet this guy. This country needs more men like him.

A Kershaw man has been charged with reckless homicide in the December 2015 death of his girlfriend, who was run over by his pickup truck.
William Bryan Reese, 45, of 636 Scout Cabin Road, was arrested in the death of Rae Marie Brewer. The charge is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Brewer, 45, died Dec. 16, 2015, while en route to Palmetto Health Richland due to blood loss from internal injuries received when Reese's Ford F350 rolled over her.
Indian Land High students are now giving back to junior Grace Trumpower, who has been a "guiding light" in the school and community, despite her own disability.
The ILHS National Honor Society and teenILead, an organization built on addressing issues in the Indian Land area, have partnered to host a fundraiser at Friday's home basketball game to raise money for Trumpower's stem-cell therapy, which will cost more than $40,000.
A separate online fundraising effort has already raised more than $22,000 to help with the medical costs.
Ten-year-old Dylan Lemieux died from asphyxia, the Lancaster County Coroner's Office reported Friday after conducting an autopsy.
"The manner of death is still under investigation by Lancaster County Coroner's Office in conjunction with Lancaster County Sheriff's Office and SLED Child Fatality Division," the coroner's release stated.
Investigators would release no further information Friday on the circumstances surrounding the death of the Harrisburg Elementary fourth grader.
An autopsy will be performed on a Kershaw woman to determine if some type of medical episode led to her death Tuesday in a one-car crash on Beacon Road in Rich Hill.
The victim – 69-year-old Ethel Taylor Hicks of Kershaw – died at the scene, said Lancaster County Deputy Coroner Tony Broome. Hicks will undergo an autopsy Thursday.
A legislative committee scheduled to make a recommendation on Van Wyck's incorporation proposal in Columbia last Thursday deferred hearing the matter after the day's session ran long.

The former director of the Lancaster County Animal Shelter turned herself in Friday after authorities charged her with misappropriating county funds for personal use.
According to a SLED release, Shandrieka "Shandy" Michelle Everall, 38, is charged with breach of trust valued at $2,000 or less.
Everall, who was known as Shandy Miller when she worked at the shelter, was booked Friday morning at the Lancaster County Detention Center and released after posting a $2,000 personal recognizance bond.
Indian Land's long-awaited recycling and household trash convenience center should be ready for use by the end of the month, contractors working on the site told Lancaster County officials.

Donald Trump has been called a xenophobe, a racist and a bigot, but do the titles really fit?
A xenophobe is one who is fearful of what is foreign especially people of foreign origin. Trump does business all over the world, so I doubt he fears foreign places or people.
What he is concerned about is Isis terrorists infiltrating as refugees into our country from Syria as they have done in Europe. He has called for a halt to Syrian immigration until these people can be vetted properly.

A Hindu lawyer said the community was following developments with the possibility of filing a lawsuit against McDonald's Fiji. Fiji managing director Mark McElrath said they use 100 percent vegetable oil at the two outlets in Fiji as they are aware of the Hindu taboos placed on beef. However, the beef extract, at least for McDonald's fries in America, is added prior to cooking at the restaurant.

Accumulating evidence shows inflammation strongly influences the development and treatment of depression, a debilitating disease with a lifetime incidence of ~20%. Markers of Inflammation often are increased in the serum of depressed patients, interferon administration can induce depression, "psychological" stresses that can induce depression increase inflammatory cytokines in humans and rodents, administration of inflammatory cytokines induces depression-like behaviors in rodents, in humans increased cytokines associated with a mild stimulation of the primary host defense system has negative effects on emotions, antidepressants have anti-inflammatory effects, and immune activation in patients with major depression is associated with resistance to antidepressant treatment. Therefore, in order to understand and design improved therapeutics for depression, it is important to identify mechanisms regulating neuroinflammation, inflammatory molecule accumulation in the CNS. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) recently was found to be a powerful regulator of cytokine production in the periphery. We extended this to the CNS, e.g., showing that GSK3 inhibitors reduce by >90% the production of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 in astrocytes and microglia. We also found that GSK3 inhibitors promote tolerance to inflammation, down-regulating inflammatory responses to repeated inflammatory stimuli, which may be particularly important in controlling chronic inflammation that is likely associated with mood disorders. GSK3 also has profound influences in mood disorders, it is inhibited by mood stabilizers and antidepressants, pharmacological or genetic reduction of GSK3 activity reduces depression-like behaviors in rodents, and evidence in postmortem brain samples and serum from humans indicate GSK3 is abnormally active in mood disorders. We recently found GSK3 is activated in mouse brain by the learned helplessness model of depression. Taken together, these findings suggest that the pro-inflammatory action of GSK3 may contribute to its promotion of mood disorders, and that the therapeutic actions of mood stabilizers and antidepressants that inhibit GSK3 may involve anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, studies of the inflammation system provide a model system to study how GSK3 regulates key processes that are likely involved in mood disorders: epigenetics, tolerance, and behavior.
These aims provide independent but associated goals that will identify new mechanisms by which dysregulated GSK3 can contribute to mood disorders and identify how therapeutic interventions ameliorate these outcomes.
Specific Aim 1 will test the hypothesis that GSK3 regulates innate and adaptive immune system in the brain during depressive-like behavior.
Specific Aim 2 will test the hypothesis that GSK3 regulates epigenetics, using changes induced by inflammatory stimuli as a model.
Specific Aim 3 will test the hypothesis that GSK3 promotes depression-like behavioral responses to inflammatory and environmental stress.
Mood disorders afflict approximately 20% of the population of the United States at some point in their lifetimes. However, because the underlying biochemical causes of these diseases are not known, treatments often do not adequately provide therapeutic benefits. These diseases appear to develop due to genetic susceptibilities, life experiences, and environmental conditions, particularly stress. This project will address potential causes of susceptibilities to mood disorders and examine actions of mood stabilizers and antidepressants that may contribute to their therapeutic effects. The goals are to clarify potential causative mechanisms and discern how these are altered by therapeutic interventions with the aim of developing better therapeutic interventions for mood disorders.

Gaining more than 3,700 feet in 4.3 miles, this stiff climb travels to a small overlook above the Columbia River Gorge. Start at John B. Yeon State Park, and follow the lush path south for 150 feet to the first trail junction. Continue straight at this 3-way junction on Nesmith Point Trail. After 1.5 miles, tackle a set of 11 switchbacks that climb toward the ridgetop. Don't forget to turn around for bird's-eye views of the Columbia River Gorge to the north.
At mile 2, the trail emerges from the tree-cover, revealing more views of the Columbia River below. Traverse a small rock garden, then ascend two more switchbacks before heading back into the forest. Two miles later, turn right onto an old dirt forest road for the remaining 0.2 mile to Nesmith Point. Look for Nesmith Point on the left (if you're not looking for it, you might miss it). Take in the views of the Gorge from this very small overlook, then follow the same route back to the trailhead.

Finding Our Own Resources in Mentoring
Liberally sprinkled throughout my book on eating disorders and mentoring, Beating Ana, are quotes from my favor ite piece of all times (okay, it's a tie between "Letters to a Young Poet" and this one), "Rules for Being Human." Written by an unknown author, this piece speaks to me more clearly than anything else I have ever read about recovery, love, life, hope, and humanity. In the chapter entitled "Mentoring 101," I begin by quoting "Rules for Being Human" rule #8: What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours. Sounds a bit harsh at the outset, doesn't it? I found it daunting the first several hundred times I read it (the piece sits on my desk, so I see it every day). To be honest, I still find it daunting.....but now I find it so in a refreshingly honest, liberating way.
Finding Your Own Answers in Mentoring
One of my favorite quotes comes from an anonymous author. The piece is entitled "Rules for Being Human," and it contains 10 short "rules" that are so dead-on accurate that it is little wonder the author chose to keep their identity from us. This is because, as history clearly shows us, anyone who figures all this out and is still breathing is a clear candidate for either deification or death, depending on society's general mood at the time. In my book about mentoring and eating disorders, Beating Ana, I end the book with one of my favorite of the "rules", #9: Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust. The 10th and final "rule", by the way, simply states: You will forget all this. And I do. Everyday.
Battling Weight Stigma in Mentoring
My dear friend and colleague, Chevese Turner, is the founder and CEO of BEDA, the Binge Eating Disorder Association. BEDA is the first national organization dedicated to providing those who battle binge eating disorder with the support and resources they need and deserve, free from weight stigma and bias. Now, this week, from September 26-30, 2011, BEDA launches the first-ever Weight Stigma Awareness Week. According to BEDA's official press release, "the objectives of this event are to build awareness of what weight stigma is, the harmful effects weight stigma can have on people of all ages in all environments, and what can be done to stop it."
Assisted Amnesia in Mentoring
Part of the charm - and the challenge - of mentoring in nearly any context is to help your mentee make the leap from the known past or present into the unknown but hoped-for future. Mentees may say they want to make that leap. They may even say they are willing, ready, or able to make that leap. But it is a rare mentee who actually is any one or all of these things. Actually, this is not hard to understand. You can think into your own life experience, whether of being mentored or simply of life in general, to recall all the times that you have dreamed of a new way of being, a new achievement, or a new attitude, long before you were able to experience even a tiny fraction of what you were hoping for. This is why, oddly enough, the experience we are aiming for in our mentoring role is not necessarily to attain "that thing" - the goal the mentee has in mind when they begin the mentoring process - but rather to induce an experience of merciful amnesia that can allow the mentee for a moment to forget their checkered and (usually, to their minds) unsuccessful past and imagine-as-if. In his book "Stumbling on Happiness", author and researcher Daniel Gilbert states that "we know so little about the hearts and minds of the people we are about to become."
Making an Impact in Mentoring Others
I always love to get requests from mentor volunteers to serve with MentorCONNECT. They are filled with gratitude and want to give back. Many have started projects of their own to share what they have learned about recovery, and these projects can include blogs, websites, books, ministries, non-profit organizations, and other activities designed to stay connected to the recovery community. What some of them haven't quite finished yet is their own recovery. It is a fine line to walk across - figuring out when is the exact right moment to transition from being a mentee to being a mentor. It is also not an exact science, and so sometimes a mentor will start a bit too early, or perhaps wait a bit too long, and in those qualitative judgments, relapses and other oopses can occur. The truth is (or at least my personal truth, from my personal experience from what I have seen in my own life and in the lives of those who serve as mentors with MentorCONNECT) is that it is easier to start a blog, website, or organization, write a book, or speak publicly about your story than it is to serve as a recovering person's mentor. It is also much less triggering, less intimate, and in some sense less impactful in that way.
Managing Emotions and Mentoring Part 2
This past week one of my mentees asked me to talk with her about emotions. Specifically, she wanted some insight into the process of learning how to identify, name, and feel emotions. This is a challenge I struggled with for years during my lengthy recovery battle from anorexia and bulimia. And I shared with her that sometimes I still struggle when a new and weighty challenge suddenly appears before me unannounced. So when this happens to me, I go back to basics. Lately I have had the good sense to hire a life coach, and she has given me a great visualization that I shared with my mentee this week, and now I want to share it with you as well. To Identify, Name, & Feel your Feelings:

Emotions. Boy is that a loaded word. Whether you are on the mentor or mentee side of the recovery fence, you are guaranteed to have them. As a mentor, you may catch yourself feeling frustrated, elated, frightened, or even hopeless while watching your mentee navigate the ups and downs you still remember all too well from your own recovery journey (and may still be navigating yourself in other parts of your life). As a mentee, you may watch your own emotions skyrocket or plummet, not yet even having descriptive names for some of the ones that feel (and sound!) like fearapathyrageresentmenthappinesspeaceloveangerRAGEregretgrief......
Weight Loss, Weight Gain and Mentoring
There are all kinds of mentors, in all walks of life. Some mentors focus on supporting their mentees as newlyweds. Others mentor their mentees throughout their career. Still other mentors will serve and support mentors in the recovery arena. Mentors like me, who have recovered from an eating disorder, spend our mentoring hours supporting mentees who are still struggling to recover from eating disorders. One of the most popular topics, if "popular" is the right word, in eating disorders mentoring is weight. Weight gain, weight loss, what contributes to one or both, how to avoid one and promote the other, what to do when you want to have your eating disorder (i.e. weight loss or weight gain) and recovery too...... This is why, at least in my mentoring work, I do not talk about weight loss or weight gain with my mentees.
The Mentoring Elephant in the Room: What if the Mentoring Community is Triggering?
Triggering. This is a word that continues to strike fear into the psyches of mentors, mentees, clinicians, family members, and pretty much everyone else who understands what the word "trigger" means. In case you are new to the term, here we are not talking about the trigger in terms of a physical weapon, but rather an emotional trigger that can get "pulled" and have a similar inner effect. Which is why today's "elephant in the room" question is - "What if the mentoring community is triggering?" Triggers are a hot button topic in that there seem to be two prevailing schools of thought - in the first, triggers are to be avoided, as they could promote a setback in a recovering person's efforts. In the second, triggers are to be welcomed, because they show the recovering person where dependency on a fixed set of thoughts and behaviors (those of the eating disorder) still impede that person's ability to fully engage with and live life in each moment. I am of a mind to join both camps, because I think each school of thought applies more readily in earlier and then later stages of recovery. However, the fact remains that triggers happen.

Project Title
Novel Fabric Construction Methods for Solar Thermal Chimney Power Plants
Project Description
The solar thermal chimney is a large-scale solar power generator designed for desert deployment. It has many advantages, not least zero water consumption and the potential to utilise solar heat absorbed by the ground to generate electricity at night. However, it requires a particularly tall chimney, which is a technical challenge and a financial risk. This project re-imagines the chimney as a fabric structure suspended by envelopes of lighter-than-air gas. A fabric "suspended chimney" will be lighter and easier to transport to desert locations. It will also be quicker to erect on-site. The project's deliverables include a validated suspended chimney design, a suspended chimney computer model, a prototype suspended chimney used for validation and a comprehensive solar thermal chimney computer model. Further applications for the suspended chimney innovation are being considered. This project has been awarded additional funding from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 to design and construct a large-scale prototype suspended chimney.

The European Commission is calling for European Union member states to introduce an injunctive and compensatory collective redress mechanism to their national procedural rules by July 26, 2015. In many respects, the concept of a European collective redress scheme is similar to that of US-style class actions.
The new European collective redress mechanism would increase the risk of product safety and product liability litigation against companies.
Collective redress will, above all, affect manufacturers and importers of products. The new landscape would include the potential for large-scale, high-stakes mass tort claims with a high media impact.
1. Collective redress means class actions
Collective redress, in Europe, is popularly understood to mean a representative proceeding – a case brought on behalf of a group of claimants. Notably, a legal definition for the term "collective redress" does not exist in EU law. Moreover, the different cases where collective redress could be used differ greatly. But the common denominator among these scenarios is that collective redress enables a larger number of people to benefit from the effects of a favorable court decision - "larger" in proportion to the subjective accumulation of claims.
Collective redress is a mechanism that is well known, above all, in the United States, where it is commonly called "class action." Under US class actions, the binding impact of a lawsuit is extended, inter alia, to all persons who are affected by a certain product in the same way as the claimant. Combined with an award of punitive damages against companies and conditional fee agreements between lawyers and clients, class actions are a significant feature of the US legal landscape.
2. Collective redress for product safety and product liability
In addition to notable class actions filed with respect to the financial services and securities industries, product safety and product liability is an area that is traditionally very strongly affected by the concept of collective redress. In the US, countless claims have been and are pending against companies in this field, especially in respect of motor vehicles, household appliances, consumer electronics, food products, construction materials and pharmaceuticals.
3. No common European approach as of yet
However, in Europe the approach currently varies widely across a broad spectrum. The concept of collective redress does not even exist in all member states. Where it does, it mostly focuses on a very narrow scope of cases and constellations. In Germany, for example, collective redress schemes are admissible under the Capital Investors' Test Cases Act (Kapitalanleger-Musterverfahrensgesetz) regarding public capital market information. With its recommendation, the Commission aims to create a unified approach across the EU to collective redress and to put an end to this fragmented spectrum.
4. The EU Commission as a driving force
The European Commission has been conferring on collective redress schemes since 2005, and the system it is now recommending arose from a series of green and white papers as well as a public consultation. The European Parliament supported this by a resolution.
In its recommendation this summer, the Commission called for the implementation of its collective redress principles by July 26 2015 at the latest. Although the recommendation is not legally binding, the Commission notes that it will evaluate the status of collective redress laws in the member states after four years. This tight agenda leads observers to believe that the current recommendation is merely an intermediate step. In all probability a further-reaching legal act will follow after the four-year period has expired. Such observers believe that the Commission will then issue a binding regulation or directive.
5. Allegedly injured parties will be able to accede to a European collective redress action: effect on national laws
The EU suggests that the possibility of injunctive and compensatory collective redress should be added to national procedural rules. According to the Commission's central objective, the mechanism is to make it easier for allegedly injured parties to join such an action against a company. As a result, they would feel more encouraged to pursue their claims judicially in cases where individual damages are small.
In principle, the allegedly injured parties will be able to join a suit or opt out of it at any time. For this purpose, the corresponding information is to be available online in the future. However, any judgment of the claim will only be binding on those who opted in. Hence, unlike in most US based class actions, individuals must explicitly join the action (a so-called opt-in system, in contrast to the US opt-out model).
6. Beyond injured parties: even consumer protection associations and public authorities could act as claimants
It is the Commission's intention that not only the injured parties should be able to litigate. In the EU, unlike in the United States, designated "representative entities" and even authorities would be able to bring an injunctive or compensatory action. Hence, under such laws, manufacturers and importers of products may expect a surge in collective redress litigation. Action may be brought by consumer protection associations or market surveillance authorities seeking to judicially pursue claims for alleged product safety deficiencies.
This kind of representative action has already been partly realized in the member states, inter alia, by way of transposition of Directive 2009/22/EC on injunctions for the protection of consumers' interests into national laws. Unsurprisingly, companies face a greater risk of litigation if representative action is permitted, because, unlike many private persons, associations are not afraid of lengthy lawsuits.
The idea that authorities can bring a collective civil redress action on behalf of the injured parties against certain companies reaches even further. Not least is the concern that such collective actions may be used for political purposes – for instance, bringing suit against a company just before an election, so that the claims take on a quasi-official appearance. This is a tool which has hitherto not been available to the public sector.
7. Positions of EU member states
It is now up to the 28 member states of the EU to decide if and how they will transpose the Commission recommendation into their national laws.
For Germany, transposing the recommendation would mean a major amendment of its Code of Civil Procedure (Zivilprozessordnung). The parties forming the new coalition government after the federal elections in September 2013 have opposite views on this and, accordingly, have not yet arrived at a decision. The conservative CDU/CSU alliance believes that a far-reaching change of the German law of civil procedure is not justifiable, because there is no recognizable deficit in the enforcement of monetary claims. In addition, it categorically rejects collective redress actions as being inherently prone to abuse. The left-wing Social-Democrats favor the introduction of collective redress. However, they suggest a trial phase for the new mechanism, with a limited term set for its application.
The Government of the United Kingdom has reservations about the horizontal nature of the recommendation which applies to every piece of EU legislation.
France, on the other hand, is just about to include a new group action (action de groupe) into its Consumer Code (Code de Consommation). This instrument, however, will only extend to actions by state authorized consumer protection associations.
8. What is to be done?
Will collective redress become part of the legal system on a European Union level and in its individual member states? The next few years will be decisive. Companies wishing to communicate their expectations and arguments should address the relevant decision-making bodies soon. There is still time enter the conversation.
It cannot be said enough that companies involved in the distribution chain of products will need to adjust to the coming legal situation. This applies in particular to manufacturers and importers. There is good reason to think that the admissibility of collective redress will be increasingly expanded. Many EU member states will follow the Commission's recommendation. Within a few years, binding rulings will follow.
Companies concerned about this scenario therefore face a threefold task: They need to prepare their compliance and PR departments for the coming challenges. Second, they need to obtain a legal overview of litigation risks in Europe, seeking guidance that takes multiple jurisdictions into account. And finally, they should follow closely monitor the legislative processes around this issue and let their voices be heard.

About Tamron
Tamron is a leading manufacturer of lenses for photographic, industrial, laboratory, video, digital and scientific applications. Among its many optical and mechanical innovations since the founding of the company in 1950, Tamron's development of mass-produced hybrid aspherical elements in 1997 paved the way for high ratio zoom lenses. This technology was incorporated into the groundbreaking 28-200mm and continues with the new 18-250mm developed exclusively for use on digital SLR cameras and featuring an unprecedented 13.9X zoom range. Tamron has won more awards for its high ratio zoom lenses than all other lens manufacturers combined.

OC Walk to Remember names new director
For Kristyn von Rotz, founder and outgoing executive director of OC Walk to Remember, stepping down from an organization that's so close to her heart has been challenging. But luckily for her, there's a new Kristin to help run things.
Kristin Cyprien, formerly the executive director of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance, was hired as the new executive director of the Costa Mesa-based OC Walk to Remember last month.
Von Rotz founded the non-profit organization nine years ago after dealing with the loss of her infant son, Joseph Thomas von Rotz. At the start, just 100 people walked in a park in remembrance of their lost children. This year, she said, 3,500 people are expected at the annual walk in October.
"I left the hospital and I thought: This can't be the end," von Rotz said.
Cyprien is a mother but hasn't experienced the loss of a child. Still, she said that before her interview for the position, she went on the OC Walk to Remember site and cried when she read stories about families who had lost babies, and their tributes.
"And I'm okay with that [crying]. I expect that to happen, Cyprien said. "I can have empathy and compassion, but I don't have my own triggers."
Von Rotz said that Cyprien's experience as well as her compassion made her an ideal candidate.
"We knew we had to find someone who not only had the experience in non-profit work, the passion for helping families, but someone who would be sensitive," von Rotz said
Aside from the organization's yearly walk in October, OC Walk to Remember also provides training for health care providers working with families who have lost an infant, as well as support for the families, according to von Rotz.
Von Rotz said she will stay with the organization as a board member and hopes to devote more time to her husband and kids. She said she also wants to write a book for parents who have lost a baby.
Cyprien said that she thinks the organization already is doing a lot of great work and she mostly just wants to make it more efficient. She also hopes to add more events for dads as well as support for volunteers because most of them are parents who have lost babies.
"I've been thinking a lot about their own well-being and their own journey and respecting that and making sure they are being taken care of in that sense, Cyprien said. "Volunteers are like the cream of the crop and you don't want to overwork your volunteers and you want them to feel honored and you want them to not burn out."
Currently, OC Walk to Remember has a free spa day for moms who have lost a baby and a monthly yoga and meditation class for moms is also in the works. Cyprien said she would like to add events like a golf tournament and a support group for dads who have lost a baby.
Above all, Cyprien said she just wants to help parents in Orange County get through a difficult time.
"The bottom line is that families get what they feel they need during a time of loss," Cyprien said. "If I can help do that better, than that's what my goal is."

Wicked London
So, I just got finished watching Wicked in London. It was a very cool experience. I would have enjoyed getting a few more shots of the environs and actors/actresses -- maybe next time!
The stage was wonderfully elaborate and fantasy-steampunk. I didn't expect so much steampunk stuff in my life lately...

New holiday-related promotions popped up at several of the top 100 online retailers this week, as the number of e-retailers offering free shipping inched upward to 63 from 61, a survey by Internet Retailer found.
New holiday-related promotions popped up at several of the top 100 online retailers this week, including some only for e-mail subscribers. Meanwhile the number of top 100 e-retailers offering free shipping inched upward to 63 from 61 a year ago, a survey by Internet Retailer found.
The Internet Retailer annual survey of free shipping and other promotions is based on a weekly review by the magazine's editorial staff of the holiday season promotions offered by the top 100 retailers as listed in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide.
For free shipping, 28 retailers required a minimum order value, ranging from about $20 up to $699, with most within the range of $30 to $75.
Nine retailers e-mailed free-shipping offers to consumers who opted in for e-mail marketing programs, but did not publicize the offers on their web sites.
E-retailers are also seeking to lure value-conscious shoppers with home page promotions. 72% of the sites prominently featured some kind of offer on the home page. 37% featured offers on specific items, or item categories, such as $40 off an Acer monitor at PC Mall Inc.
Cabela's was one of 10 retailers featuring a specific site-wide discount, as it offered $30 off on orders more than $150. ToysRUs.com displayed a two-day "Mega Sale" image and Restoration Hardware's main home page banner featured a 20% off friends and family event. The survey found seven retailers with major home page promotions designed around the holiday season, including an offer from QVC.com to extend returns on holiday gift purchases until Jan. 31.
Some retailers offered discounted "Early Thanksgiving" or "Daily Deals" promotions as their main home page display. BestBuy.com displayed a hero shot announcing a two-day "Early-bird Thanksgiving Sale."
Several retailers also sent holiday-themed offers to shoppers who have signed up for e-mail promotions, including Sears.com, Walmart.com, Newegg.com, Home Depot.com and CircuitCity.com. Newegg and Sears each cited "Black Friday" promotions, with Sears offering up to 20% off appliances, while Walmart.com promoted "huge savings on toys for Christmas."
Black Friday, or the Friday after Thanksgiving, has become a day for major holiday sales and a kick-off for the holiday period that many retailers rely on to finish in the black for the year.

Public Input on Fishing Regulations
The public usually has 2 different opportunities to provide input on fishing regulations being considered:
- Formal Rule Making Process (required): Fishing regulation changes must move through the State's formal rule making process to become actual regulations. This includes a formal public comment period (often with a minimum of 45 days), providing people the opportunity to submit formal comments on the proposed regulations. At the end of the comment period, the DEC reviews and takes into consideration submitted comments. The DEC then develops and submits a Final Rule Making package to the Department of State to adopt the regulations.
- Informal Comments on Fishing Regulation Ideas Being Considered: Prior to going through the formal rule making process, DEC routinely puts forth ideas being considered as changes to the current fishing regulations. Obtaining initial public feedback during this earlier and informal phase helps DEC gauge public interest and support, and provides an opportunity to learn of any concerns that may exist with the modifications being initially considered. It is important to keep in mind that these are only ideas which may or may not be formally proposed at a later time.
Current Available Opportunities for Public Comment
Informal comments on proposed changes to Free Fishing Days (NYCRR Part 180.6)
DEC is considering expanding the number of free fishing days that are offered and wants to set those days in regulation so they are consistent from year to year. This initial public review process will assist DEC in determining if it will move forward with this proposal to formally establish these additional free fishing days.
How to submit input:
To submit comments regarding the proposal, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the following subject line: "Possible Amendment to Free Sport Fishing Days." To ensure we receive and can properly review your suggestions, you must leave the subject line as it appears on the email.
Input will be collected through August 31, 2016
Note: Due to the expected high volume of e-mails received, DEC will be unable to reply to individual submissions, but all input will be reviewed and considered towards developing a proposed rule-making that, if accepted, would become effective in 2017.
In addition to Free Fishing Weekend (last full weekend of June), the proposed rulemaking will specifically designate six additional Free Fishing Days that will occur throughout the year.
The Department is requesting that the following six free sport fishing days be added to complement the existing free sport fishing days:
- Presidents Day Weekend (February) - These two days coincide with winter recess for schools, making it ideal for families to try ice fishing.
- 3rd Weekend in May - These two days occur when the majority of NY fishing seasons are open, including black bass, walleye, pike/pickerel and trout and salmon. Fishing is generally good for these species during this period and it is a great time for people to give the sport of fishing a try.
- National Hunting and Fishing Day (1 day) - This will take place on the 4th Saturday in September and links to many promotional events occurring nationwide. Fishing at this time of year is generally good for many species, including the very popular fall salmon fishing in the Great Lakes tributaries.
- Veteran's Day (1 day) - Fishing is considered one of the most therapeutic outdoor activities, making it the ideal tribute to veterans and those currently serving. Although Governor Cuomo officially designated Veteran's Day as a free fishing day in 2015, this proposal would make it a permanent free fishing day.
Defining specific free fishing days will allow DEC to more effectively promote these days well in advance of their occurrence and will allow those who want to take advantage of these dates to plan accordingly which will help maximize public participation.
