On September 13, the New York City Health Department became the first in the nation to ban the sale of sugared beverages larger than 16 oz. at restaurants, mobile food carts, sports arenas and movie theaters. The ban includes sodas and sweetened tea. The law is aimed at cutting obesity rates in the U.S., where at least two-thirds of American adults are considered overweight. While the ban is widely supported by health professionals, it's not popular with food retailers or many city residents.
The ruling, which takes effect in March 2013, will prevent restaurants and cafeterias from selling sugared beverages in cups or containers larger than 16 ounces—about the size of a typical small soda. Supermarkets and convenience stores—including 7-Eleven, which sells the jumbo-sized Big Gulp—are not included in the law. And the ban doesn't apply to fruit juices, alcoholic beverages, diet sodas or dairy-based drinks like milkshakes.
Health in the Big Apple
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg led the ban on large drinks. More than half of New York City adults and nearly 40 percent of the city's public elementary and middle school students are considered overweight. "We are dealing with a crisis ... we need to act on this," said Board of Health member Deepthiman Gowda, a professor of medicine at Columbia University, the Associated Press reported. Bloomberg has noted that the ban doesn't prevent people from buying several small sodas at a time if they wish, but health officials hope that the inconvenience will eventually get people to cut down on their use of sugared drinks.
New York City's Board of Health members say that banning mega-sized drinks is an important step toward helping consumers not only to drink fewer calories, but may also encourage people to make other healthy changes to their diet. The board reviewed data showing that sugared drinks make up 43 percent of the added sugar in the average American diet.
Critics of the Ban
Some health officials, as well as the restaurant and beverage industry, are critical of the ban. They ask, why single out sugared sodas, when there are many reasons why people are overweight? And if sugared beverages are being targeted, why not take stronger measures against other sources of sugar, such as candy and other sweets?
Many restaurant owners, fast-food chains and makers of sodas, including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and McDonald's, are also upset because they say the ban could hurt certain businesses while rewarding others. The groups plan to continue to challenge the ruling, including taking their concerns to court. "We are smart enough to make our own decisions about what to eat and drink," Liz Berman, the chairperson of the New Yorkers for Beverage Choices coalition, said in a statement.
What do you think? Should the government ban large sugary drinks to help consumers make healthier choices? Or should people be allowed make their own choices about beverage size? Vote in the TFK poll below!

Overall FA tracker by perceived ranking, best listed first: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...best-available
Theres actually quite a few intriguing prospective moves out there. For instance, Richard Seymour is up there in age, and has already gotten 2 huge contracts. doubt he's gonna get another one, but i bet he could still be a good starter. maybe the values there? He can replace Canty and what we asked him to do, and prob do it much much better...maybe for cheap. JR may look into it who knows...but theres a lot of interesting FA's out there. Vollmer at RT? Prob way too expensive, just interesting to see bc before I did, I didn't have an idea of the possible talent in the FA pool

Awwww poor LilOkSGlad ... how disappointing for her to have her birthday party cancelled!
OKSGlad ... WoW ... you have some people with deep pockets! I loved the fun of these fundraisers ... people pay unrealistic prices to support the cause, and get a token item. And then there's the "challenge" of bidding someone up and making them pay dearly for something they really want! Now if you could only get those prices for all your minis, I bet you'd go into production. Have fun with your BBs ... I bet you have some really nice ones in the works.

I don't think he justifies a large contract. Not to mention those with/without stats are very misleading. If he goes somewhere else, we're not replacing him with CC Brown or James Butler or Micheal Johnson. Obviously when you lose a starter, you're handicapping yourself. (usually anyways)
I'm not suggesting I want him to go or that he's a bad player...Just the durability...You can't shell out a ton of cash on a guy who has been injured that much(especially knee injuries).

Sacajawea students learn 'perseverance'
BOZEMAN, Mont. - It's called takeover day, where students focus on one of six core values.
Wednesday, students attended break-out sessions on perseverance.
They heard from speakers who explained how they made it through tough times and participated in activities, like "Minute to Win-It" games.
High schoolers led some of the exercises and say the hands-on learning helped students figure out what motivates them to accomplish a goal.
We asked students what they learned.
"Striving to do your best. Persevering, keep going," says 8th grader Darra Perdaems.
Fellow 8th grader Natasha Raynovich says she'll apply what she learned to school and volleyball.
"Keep pushing through, even if it's really hard and I'm having a bad day," explains Raynovich.
Bozeman High School students involved in "speak out" helped to coordinate activities. They say they got a lot out of the day, also.
"It's just fun for me to come back and be in the middle school again and also help these 8th graders out and try to give them some of my wisdom from my high school days," says senior Nate Lamberty.
High schooler Tess Kerins says she hopes students walk away with tools to make their transition into high school a little easier.
"Just having high schoolers that these 6th, 7th and 8th graders can look up to is important," says Kerins.
The day kicked off with an all-school assembly with Superintendent Rob Watson.

i think that if the players themselves apologized.....that's the end of the argument. sounds like Schiano already lost his team if they know they did something they normally arent supposed to
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
Its pretty sad that Eli threw for friggin 500 yards and the only thing the media can talk about is the last play.
MH, go look at the redskins vsstlou game and the sanfran vs lions game. NO ONE touches each other in the redskin game. NOT ONE! Its an unspoken rule. Just saw the replay again and they go right for the giants legs, hard. TC has every right to say its bushleague and be outraged and so should you. We have no more linemen.
I wish we had tried that with Romo last week. Its not bush. Its not unsportsmanlike. At least not the basic notion of trying to stop a kneel down play and get the football.
You can argue about the tactics, but the basic premise to me is go make the play and keep the game alive.
I'm fine with that. And none of TC's false outrage will change it.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..

About three days ago, I got a small swarm, right behind my hives. I thought it might have been a secondary swarm with a virgin queen, from one colony that had swarmed a few days before. I did not have frames set up, so I kept it in a pail covered with screen indoors. Next day I put them in a 4 frame nuc with three frames of foundation and one frame of brood and eggs, but no bees, from a good colony. I though that if a queen, virgin or not, was in the crowd they would not build a supercedure cell, and that if she was there, that she would start laying, unless she was virgin. Today I went in and upon looking on one side of the frame I saw a small queen (small abdomen) and I though that's the virgin queen! But then I noticed she had frayed wings, and that the rest of the bees were paying no attention to her. On the other side of the frame several workers were around an enlarged worker cell that seems to me it's being turned into a supercedure cell located pretty much in the center of the single frame with brood.
Does this sound like an old queen to you? Should I kill her and leave the hive only with the supercedure cell they are building to prevent the old, (or virgin with frayed wings, whichever might be the case) from leaving with some of the bees once or after the emergency cell get's capped? Or is it likely she will be killed by the bees or leave alone...?

I am proud of 2000 NY Giants team for getting to SuperBowl.
If I am not mistaken, I think Baltimore Ravens defense jumped off sides to start the game just to rattle KC.
Accorsi is on record as saying that he never felt good about the preparation for that game because it was too "light-hearted" for him. He felt that the Giants team didn't have the intensity to win the game because they were just happy to be there.
Yes, coaching scared worked out very well for us.
So, while you have made valid points, I would still maintain my view that we essentially had no chance to win that game (barring a crap load of huge breaks going our way)

By Kate Andrews, ChildFund Staff Writer
We've reached the final post of our 75th anniversary blog series: number 75. When this series started back in September 2013, I wasn't sure this day would ever come, but it is here.
I'd like to take a moment to thank the ChildFund staff members who sat down for interviews, wrote stories, took photos, searched for archived photos and video, edited posts and made story suggestions. Your help was invaluable. Also, to all of the ChildFund Alliance leaders who contributed posts about their organizations' work — thank you. It's amazing that some of the countries where we worked decades ago are now strong and prosperous enough to help other children in need today.
During the series, we learned a great deal about the origins of ChildFund, which was called China's Children Fund when it was founded in 1938 by Dr. J. Calvitt Clarke to help Chinese orphans. Over the years, our leaders and staff members — both in Richmond, Va. and abroad — have transformed our organization (renamed Christian Children's Fund in 1951 and ChildFund in 2009) from a small but ambitious charity to a global aid organization that assisted more than 18 million people worldwide last year.
Some of the most memorable posts for me were about children and alumni who have seen great change take hold in their lives.
Gleyson, a young man from Brazil, wrote about his neighborhood, which was plagued with violence stemming from the drug trade. It also didn't have running water. But he was sponsored and enrolled in a ChildFund-supported project that provided him with tutoring, study materials, extracurricular dance and art classes, and above all, a supportive environment.
Today, he writes, "I graduated with a degree in business administration, and I am a professional, registered with the Regional and Federal Brazilian Administration Councils and specializing in financial management and controllership. I recently purchased a car, and I'm currently employed in a company in charge of the administrative management of condos."
We heard many encouraging stories like Gleyson's. Manisha's family was able to quit the bangle-making trade in Firozabad, India, finding more lucrative and less hazardous work; Nicky, a Zambian man, earned a degree in business administration and went to work for a bank. Many of the Chinese orphans who grew up in Hong Kong orphanages started by CCF have found professional and personal success, and an amazing number have formed their own charities to help other children. My colleague, Christine Ennulat, wrote an essay about how we can't count the number of people that have been helped through ChildFund — because our actions have a ripple effect.
ChildFund will continue our work as we enter our 76th year, focusing on children and their families and giving support to communities in need — while providing training and resources through our local partner organizations, a process that lets communities determine their destinies. On the world stage, we are pushing for greater recognition of children's needs as the United Nations sets its post-2015 development goals.
Thanks for reading, and I'll leave you with a message from our CEO and president, Anne Lynam Goddard:
"Because nothing lasts forever, I never take for granted that ChildFund will continue for another 75 years. The decisions we make today will impact the ChildFund of tomorrow. We must continue to evolve as an organization, meeting the needs of children in a rapidly changing and complex world.
"Maybe one thing does last forever — the warm-hearted generosity of people who help children living in poverty. That part of our shared humanity is truly enduring."
Ming Chik Chan sent a letter a few months ago to Steve Stirling, ChildFund's executive vice president and chief administration officer. In these excerpts, Mr. Chan shares his story of leaving China for Hong Kong in 1949, during a time of political instability. He and his siblings were placed in orphanages affiliated with Christian Children's Fund during the 1950s, which were led by Dr. Verent Mills, then CCF's overseas director. As an adult, Mr. Chan has worked to help other Chinese children. The images in this post come from his letter.
Taking this opportunity (the 75th anniversary of ChildFund International) on behalf of my brother, my sister and my family; I would like to thank those who contributed to Christian Children's Fund/ChildFund, and for those who labored to raise numerous children. Without such loving deeds, they would be lost and without hope. May our Lord bless them and their families for many generations to come!
Also, I would like to mention our PaPa — the Rev. Verent Mills — and Mrs. Mills, who inspired many of us. Our lives were revived by them and many others. We wish them to rest well in our heavenly Father's bosom.
During the change of government in China in 1949, my father passed away, and my mother left China for Hong Kong, leaving her three children back in the country. My uncles in Hong Kong requested that my mother get us out of China, and that was when we became refugees in Hong Kong. We thank our Lord that during that time, my mother worked as a housemaid for a family from England. Knowing that we had no place to live and no chance of being educated, the mistress of the house helped to get three of us to orphanages managed by Christian Children's Fund. Not only we were provided with shelters and food, we were also provided with full-scale educations.
We were taught to value life, to work hard and to respect others.
My sister's and my brother's stories were about the same. We were admitted into CCF orphanages at different times and at different locations. Later on, my sister and I moved to Children's Garden.
It was the second time I rode a train since I was born. I was 9 years old, and I remember this clearly. My mother was going with me, and I knew it would be a long ride.
My mother took me to an orphanage far away in the new territory of Hong Kong. That place was called Taipo, a small city near the border of China. After getting off the train, we had to ride a bike, and it took another hour to get to a village. There, we were greeted by several men; later on I found out that they were the staff and principal of the orphanage.
The name of this orphanage was called Agricultural Project; translated directly, it means the place where people learn how to farm. This project had a huge Chinese-style mansion, where most of the staff and girls of all ages stayed. There were two other old houses, one about 100 yards away up the hill where many of the boys stayed, and the other about 150 yards down the hill, where I was assigned to stay. Our canteen was a three-walled shack built next to a boys' dorm. Classrooms were scattered around the compound built with mud bricks, wood planks and iron shingle roofs.
I spent four years here, and during one of the typhoons that hit Hong Kong the hardest, many of the buildings were heavily damaged. I remember my dorm's roof was yanked away by the typhoon, and all our belongings were wet. Immediately after this disaster, we were moved to a new orphanage built in Wukaisha, named Children's Garden.
Children's Garden turned out to be like a dream for all of us. This place was set up like villas, built with a huge auditorium, playgrounds, modern classrooms, paved roads and a full-scale infirmary. Each villa accommodated 12 to 14 kids, and we thought of this setup as our family, supervised by a house parent. There were 66 such villas in the time when I lived there. The school systems ran a full-scale program, with lessons from morning to late afternoon, including all kinds of sports and activities. We were also provided with Christian education. Children's Garden was connected by ferry to a university on the other side of the harbor.
This was the place where I grew up. I spent a bit more than four years there, and I left when I turned 18.
I migrated to the USA at the age of 32 with my family and worked in several U.S. corporations. At the age of 60, I took early retirement and volunteered in a Christian organization, setting up orphanages in China. From 2003 to 2012, we set up three orphanages, nurturing about 400 children to date. I retired from this organization on August 2012 after I suffered two light heart attacks.

As we conclude our 75th anniversary blog series, we are focusing on success stories of youth and alumni from ChildFund's programs in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. Today we meet Phenny, an automotive repair supervisor in Zambia.
"I never imagined when I was growing up that one day I would work as a supervisor in one of the prestigious companies in this country. I supervise a team of men who work in automotive repair, vehicle servicing and boat repair. I owe my success to a man that sponsored me through ChildFund, and I'm really grateful. My life has turned around for the better, and I wake up every morning with a reason for living."
These are the words of 28-year-old Phenny, a supervisor at Autoworld, which sells an extensive range of automotive, marine and lifestyle products in Zambia.
Phenny's parents died when she was a small child, and none of their relatives offered to take in Phenny and her 16-year-old sister after they were orphaned. So, the sisters remained in their parents' home, and Phenny's sister dropped out of school and resorted to doing odd jobs so that they could survive.
"My life before ChildFund was very difficult," Phenny explains. "My sister only made enough for us to have a meal, I had no hope of ever starting school, and most of the time I joined my sister, washing people's clothes and cleaning their homes for food."
Phenny's big breakthrough came when her sister heard about the ChildFund sponsorship program (then, Christian Children's Fund) and the girls were immediately enrolled in programs at Tiyanjane Community Association.
"Being enrolled at Tiyanjane project was the biggest relief for us," Phenny says. "The sponsor I was assigned to was very kind. In our letters, my sister explained that I came from a child-headed household, and he became like a father to me. He did not just send us money for my school but also inspiring letters and cards. I looked forward to receiving them every month."
With support from her sponsor, Phenny sailed through primary school and qualified for secondary school with good grades. She completed school in 2006 and decided to study motor vehicle engineering.
As you can see, I'm the only lady here, supervising a number of men. I feel like I'm living my dream.
In 2009, she started working for Autoworld as an assistant motor vehicle technician. She rose through the ranks through her commitment and love for the job. Today, she is the supervisor and still the only female at Autoworld's downtown branch. She and her sister live together in a nice house, and Phenny's sister no longer has to take odd jobs.
"As you can see, I'm the only lady here, supervising a number of men," Phenny says. "My life has changed positively, and I feel like I'm living my dream. I have dreams of meeting my sponsor to thank him and tell him in person what his support has done."
About her future plans, Phenny explains that she wants to further her education and open a garage of her own so that she can support other children in need in her community.

As we conclude our 75th anniversary blog series, we are focusing on success stories of youth and alumni from ChildFund's programs in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. Kumba, 24, was sponsored and enrolled in ChildFund-supported programs in The Gambia.
My experience with ChildFund has been a great one, and I would like to add some key memories about being sponsored. I received a lot of learning materials (pencils, erasers, rulers, crayons and books) and letters from my sponsor. Sometimes I use to share her letters with my family and classmates in school. One interesting letter that I remember receiving was with a photo of my sponsor with her three children: Grace, Lara and Sara.
I was a brilliant child performing very well in school, but my parents were so poor that they could not support my education financially. So when I got a sponsor from ChildFund, and she started paying my school fees and providing me with learning materials, that's when I realized that I could reach my dreams in the future. I have been supported throughout my education, and without ChildFund's support, my life would have probably ended up in the streets.
Interview by Saroj Pattnaik, ChildFund India
As we conclude our 75th anniversary blog series, we are focusing on success stories of youth and alumni from ChildFund's programs in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. Today, we hear from Manisha, a 17-year-old girl from India who has been sponsored through ChildFund since 2005.
I belong to a poor and humble family. I am studying in 12th grade, and my younger brother is in 7th grade. My father works as a supervisor in a glass manufacturing factory in Firozabad. He used to be the sole breadwinner for our family, but now my mother also adds to our family's earnings by working with UNICEF as a community mobilizer. Both my parents are working hard to give us a decent life. We are now a happy family, and I love my parents the most.
But a few years ago, our family was not what it is today. My father was struggling to meet our basic needs. There have been times when my mother had to sleep with an empty stomach, as there was not enough food for all of us. Just to add to our family income, we all started making bangles at home.
I never liked that work of welding the ends of bangles together with the help of a gas stove. We used to sit for hours, welding and coloring the bangles in a very unpleasant atmosphere. Though I was going to school, I had to sit with my parents in sorting or coloring the bangles soon after returning home. I was unable to give much time to my studies. Both my mother and father were having health issues because of the smoke they were exposed to during the day-long bangle work. Even I had developed chest pains and was admitted to hospital several times. But we had no other option then but continuing this unhealthy work.
But things started to change when I became associated with ChidFund. I was enrolled in the Disha Children's Program and also got a sponsor in 2005. Not only did I start getting the benefits of being a sponsored child, but our entire family benefited. Soon, my mother joined a self-help group promoted by the organization. Slowly, we reduced the bangle-making work at home, with my mother attending parenting sessions and supporting ChildFund field staff in encouraging other women to adopt best child-care practices.
In 2010, my mother was selected as a community mobilizer with UNICEF India because of the training she received through ChildFund. Then, we completely stopped bangle-making at home, and my father joined a glass factory as a supervisor. It's purely our family's association with ChildFund that helped bring in these changes.
As a sponsored child, I am very active in all program activities conducted in our town. Earlier, I was a member of a ChildFund-supported children's club. Now I am an active member of a youth club. We have been participating in various training programs designed to develop our skills and leadership qualities.
I was very quiet and shy as a child, but ChildFund's activities have truly helped me to open up and express my thoughts clearly. I am now an educated and confident girl. I am well aware of my rights as well as my responsibilities. Now, I have a vision for my life – to become a doctor and serve the deprived and marginalized communities that don't have access to quality health service even today.
Reporting by ChildFund Ecuador
As we conclude our 75th anniversary blog series, we are focusing on success stories of youth and alumni from ChildFund's programs in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. Today we hear from Belen, an Ecuadoran teen who is sponsored through ChildFund and also enrolled in our programs.
My name is Belen, and I am 16 years old. It makes me feel very good to know that somewhere in the world there is someone who cares about me and is interested in knowing how things are in my life.
My sponsor and I are in constant communication through the letters we send and receive. I love to receive letters from my sponsor. He lives in the U.S., and despite the fact that we do not speak the same language, thanks to ChildFund, the letters are translated, which makes our communication easier.
ChildFund has given me the chance to participate in programs such as the Youth Communicators group, which has allowed me to grow as a human being through sharing experiences with other youth my age and to learn different things such as producing TV and radio programs and writing about youth topics in a local newspaper.
I also participated in summer camps in different communities, which gave me enriching life lessons because I had the opportunity to share time with young people like me and we learned new things that help us to develop our abilities. Positive things like these have helped me to progress in my life.
Thanks to my participation in ChildFund's projects, I have learned to communicate better with my sponsor, family and friends, and I have learned about values such as respect, honesty, solidarity, punctuality, responsibility and others. I have learned to go for and build dreams, to strive for them and look toward the future.
By Sagita Adesywi, ChildFund Indonesia
As we conclude our 75th anniversary blog series, we are focusing on success stories of youth and alumni from ChildFund's programs in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. Today we meet Ester, a tutor at a ChildFund-supported Early Childhood Development center in Dula Luri, East Sumba, Indonesia.
I was a sponsored child since the third grade, and ever since, my life has been with ChildFund. When I graduated from high school in 2001, the director of ChildFund's local partner organization here asked me if I was interested in teaching young children. At first, I was confused, as I had no experience in teaching, but I was happy that I was asked and felt that it was a calling to contribute to my hometown, so I said yes! I was trained for three weeks on early childhood development (ECD) curriculum, daily activity planning, teaching and learning themes and children's personalities.
I practiced talking in front of the mirror at home what I had learned in the trainings. Sometimes, I gathered children in my neighborhood to practice teaching them. Many of them laughed at me.
After the trainings, we went around in Dulaluri, from house to house, assessing how many young children were in the area. In the beginning, we had about 60 children. Since we didn't have a permanent building yet, we did the activities moving from one person's house to another's every couple of weeks. At that time, not many people understood the importance of early childhood development. So, sometimes, children just didn't come. We would then go visiting their house to talk with their parents.
In just three years, ChildFund built us a permanent building and we didn't have to move around anymore. I think that sometimes children do not get their parents' full attention at home. While in the ECD center, they can be really close with us, learning and playing together. Children also bring home what they have learned.
The training I just had is about early childhood development and disaster risk reduction. When I thought about disasters, I only thought about earthquakes, wind storms and heavy rains. Through the training, I learned about the vulnerabilities and risks around us, such as how our broken floor and roof could be really dangerous for our children in the ECD center. If the broken roof falls apart, it would be a disaster! In heavy rains, the center's gutters would be flooded. We need to make sure our children are not playing near the gutters, since they love to play in the rain outside.
This training benefits us and the children. We learn how to teach children about hazards, such as playing with a knife or fire could hurt them. Children learn how to save themselves too when disasters occur and learn how to explain who they are if they are lost or separated from their families. They can say their names, the names of their parents and where they live. I never thought these were important things, but through the training, I understand how this can help the children get back to their families.
Some of the children come from far away to the center, crossing the main road with their parents or older siblings. We are worried for them. I want the parents to also learn about the hazards of the main roads.
If we didn't have the ECD center, our children would fall behind other children who receive these services. When I was a kid, I didn't go to an ECD center, as there wasn't one back then. I grew up shy. If I saw a stranger, I would run away. Children in our ECD center are more confident. They aren't that shy when we have visitors in our center.
ChildFund has changed my life. I only wanted to be a good person and pay forward to as many people as possible what I have gained from ChildFund.

As we conclude our 75th anniversary blog series, we are focusing on success stories of youth and alumni from ChildFund's programs in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. Today, we meet Alexia of Dominica.
So many people have dreams and don't pursue them, but this is not so for 20-year-old Alexia. Born and raised in a little community on the outskirts of Roseau, the capital of Dominica, the talented and ambitious young woman was sponsored through ChildFund. Today, she is the first female police officer to emerge from her impoverished neighborhood.
She is the oldest of six children of a single mother who sells food items and walks long distances during the day, making money to send her children to good schools.
"I always tell my younger brothers and sisters to learn well at school and follow their dreams, because if I can do it, they can do it too," Alexia says.
Alexia, who has a charming smile, has always appreciated her mother's efforts and made the best of her education. She first entered the culinary field, working as a cook at a rotisserie restaurant, before deciding to go to school to become a police officer.
She currently serves on the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force and is well respected in all parts of the island country. Alexia has worked as a patrol officer, a district officer and at the headquarters doing clerical duties. The journey continues for the young officer, and she has plans to further her studies in criminal justice so she will be better equipped to "protect and serve" her country and fellow citizens.
Alexia has inspired many young people, as well as adults, who have interacted with her; she is very polite and carries out her duty diligently. Her younger siblings all look up to her as their mentor and role model.
"I will always be grateful to the people at ChildFund," she says. "They really encouraged me and motivated me to do well in life. They helped me with my school things, uniform and books and also helped my brothers and sisters."
In Alexia's spare time, she spends time with her siblings, encouraging them to take their education seriously and focus on the positives in life. She also motivates the youth in the community, reminding them that it does not matter where you are from, you can achieve your goals.

As we conclude our 75th anniversary blog series, we are focusing on success stories of youth and alumni from ChildFund's programs in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. Today, we meet Oleg of Belarus, in Eastern Europe.
Belarus' 119,000 children with special needs, including about 30,000 with disabilities, often have problems gaining access to good education and services. They also cope with deeply ingrained social exclusion.
Oleg, a teenage boy who is affected by musculoskeletal issues, often felt like he couldn't express himself. He wanted to show others that his life has meaning, but Oleg didn't have the tools.
But life took a turn for the better when Oleg enrolled in a course offered by ChildFund Belarus called Leadership Without Limitations, part of a USAID-funded project, Community Services to Vulnerable Groups.
ChildFund achieved or exceeded all its annual targets, including improved capacity in 170 disability-focused organizations, more services for 535 children with disabilities, training for 257 parents and family members, incorporation of inclusive approaches in nine educational settings and other successful advocacy efforts.
Through the course, Oleg has learned how to take photos, which you see below.
His mother suggested a photography exhibit for the youth in his course, and ChildFund Belarus staff members embraced the idea. More than 120 people came to the event, which focused on organizations that help people with disabilities.
"I didn't even think that the exhibition could change my life so much," says Oleg. "If I hadn't taken part in the course, I would never have come to the idea of exhibiting my photos."
After the ChildFund event, he was invited to photograph a fashion show featuring children with disabilities, and those pictures were displayed in Oleg's school. All of a sudden, people saw beyond Oleg's disability: Here was a person with strength, talent and capabilities.

As we conclude our 75th anniversary blog series, we are focusing on success stories of youth and alumni from ChildFund's programs in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe. Today's subject is Kasun, a young man who lives in Sri Lanka.
Eighteen-year-old Kasun remembers a time when he was struggling to keep his eyes open, trying to finish his schoolwork after working late at his neighborhood diner. He had only a precious few hours of sleep before waking up at 4 a.m. to prepare for the diner's breakfast rush.
After his mother died and his father abandoned him and his two sisters, life was not easy for the Sri Lankan teen. But he continued to work hard at school and tried to earn some money by working at night.
Being sponsored through ChildFund, though, gave Kasun support and the feeling that he was not completely alone as he continued to receive assistance for his education.
"I struggled through many obstacles to sit the GCE Ordinary Level Examination," an exam secondary-school students take in Sri Lanka, Kasun says. "When I learnt that I had not passed the exam, I was so disappointed. I thought that was the end of the road for me."
But an opportunity to attend a Vision Camp event organized by ChildFund Sri Lanka made Kasun realize that there were other opportunities available to him and that failing his exam was not the end of the world. Gradually his disappointment turned to hope. He was drawn by the many opportunities and ideas shared at the event and became interested in taking up a career in hospitality.
"I was so happy the day ChildFund Sri Lanka offered me training in the hotel trade," Kasun says. He enrolled in a fully paid four-month vocational training program at Swiss Lanka Hotel School. "I finally felt that my life had a purpose," he says.
While taking the course Kasun also began working as a trainee at South Beach Resort in the beach town of Galle. Upon successfully completing the course, Kasun now works at South Beach Resort as an assistant cook.
"The guidance I received was timely and invaluable, and I feel that I have chosen a vocation that I enjoy and in which I can succeed," he says, smiling.


text: With a little more research I found Bob Wright's post in the gunsmith forum on how to remove/replace a Ruger rear sight. Quite easy. It was actually harder to install the Trijicon MS22 base place for the Trijicon RedDot sight 'cause the mounting screw which goes down through the plate into the rear sight screw hole was about .070" too long. Good thing I had a supply of 150 grit and 1500 grit wet sand paper to shorten the screw. Then, wah lah! Neat that the mounting plate has a rear sight slot akin to a rear sight. Now, I don't know how well it alighns with the front sight, but we'll see soon enough.

Back at my swimming group last week after a summer break, I happened to catch the coach sneaking a copy of Viva into his bag to take home. He pulled it back out and we began to discuss his favourite parts of the magazine and the conversation soon turned to how I was preparing for this week's special men's issue. Soon, the other guys from the swim squad were joining in and the suggestions started coming thick and fast: "Three ways with mince", "barbecues", "what to do with venison", "how to make a nice cut of meat go a long way".
When it came to dessert, the vote was unanimous. It had to be chocolate. (Really, we go to swim and train but the coffee afterwards is always a highlight and a chance to discuss such important matters!)
This enthusiastic discussion around recipes was a good reminder that so many of our men love to cook - as a form of relaxation, an outlet for creativity, as a way to nurture their loved ones and for pure enjoyment. It's not always about food as fuel.
The list of ingredients for today's steak and salad does look daunting, but you will find most of them already in your cupboard. Large flat mushrooms are added to beetroot to make for a substantial salad, while the sweetness of the beetroot and saltiness of the olives work to intensify the flavour.
If you have any vegetarians in the house, add some cooked chickpeas or beans and this salad will work as a meal in itself. Be warned: juniper berries have a bittersweet flavour with a peppery aftertaste. This is not a spice you just throw in - three or four berries will be plenty. They are usually used with lamb, beef and game, and are great for marinades.
I have served the steak with a delicious potato rosti. Simply grate potato, squeeze out the excess water, season with pepper and salt, then fry in a little olive oil.
Next up: lamb souvlaki. There is nothing like the smell of meat cooking over charcoal. In countries like Turkey you rarely see gas, but given our busy lives, it is how we mostly barbecue. Whether you use a leg or shoulder of lamb, make it go further by dicing it, marinating it and putting it on skewers.
To go with the lamb, make flatbread and add some tasty accompaniments you have either sourced or made yourself to create a sumptuous meal. Souvlaki is traditionally served in Turkey with yoghurt, cucumber and mint, and you can also add your own favourite hummus, olives, or chutney. Flatbreads are fun to make; shapes can vary and a rustic look is fine. Add some cumin seeds, herbs or sea salt on top for extra flavour. Flatbreads can also be cooked on the barbecue. Give it a go.
Chocolate and rum cake is delicious - what more can I say? A dollop of icecream or yoghurt is all it needs. If you are feeling daring, try adding a tablespoon of soy sauce to one litre of softened vanilla icecream and refreeze before eating. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Chef's Tip
When cooking meat, especially marinating, always add the salt at the end. It will draw the juices from the meat if added too early.
• Sirloin steak with roasted beetroot and watercress salad
• Lamb souvlaki with flatbreads
• Scrummy chocolate and rum cake

see how I can make Daven post 1 short story after I post 15 words? =]
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
My point is that it is very sound economics to reduce rates AND deductions. It should also be revenue neutral. Our complex tax code is making us more and more uncompetitive in the global economy. Obama had a chance to make real tax reform when he had the Congress in his pocket for 2 years.
He NOW says he wants to do all these kinds of things yet me had his chance and didn't make a single proposal for tax simplicity.
You had your shot Uncle Barack and blew it. Next man up!
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Im surprised that while Obama was talking about job growth Romney didnt mention that Obama hasnt met with his jobs council in months....He also skips Intel reports from around the world. Hes so damn incompetent its sickening. Maybe next debate.
And you dont have to explain how taxes and tax brackets work. I get it....lol

I have been shopping for sheet metal with which to cover my TBH's. Cheapest sheet metal I can find is around $20 per 8 foot sheet, two covers.
Found some two-foot aluminum roll flashing metal today for $1.29 per foot, $5 to cover a hive. Made a telescoping top with one ten-foot 1x4 and a piece of plywood. Very nice drop-over cover. It will rest on two integral runners to keep it an inch off the top bars, at the same time holding the top bars down until they are propolized properly.
This covers the Hardison design. Will work on the Crowder top tomorrow.

ALL the great running backs get stronger as the game goes on and their carries pile up. This is just a historical fact...
If this is true, then we have a problem in conditioning. ALL the great running backs get stronger as the game goes on and their carries pile up. This is just a historical fact...
ill begin to get optimistic if we fire studrawa
pretty sure the answer is 0 57 yard run for a td and we dont hear from him again. brilliant coaching
How fricking sad that we all know this? If Less let Hill run 20 times a game, the kid could be a Heisman contender. Not that I give a shite about that award, but Hill is a stud and could be unreal if unleashed. How many carries did Hill have in the 4th quarter against Clemson
No. If you watched closely, you can see Hill was getting worn out late in the season. That tends to happen when teams constantly stack the box against our run game. Last season, Ware was effective for maybe the first 4 or 5 games before he got a flat tire. Then came Hilliard. Hilliard became the man this past season after Blue went down and then he became ineffective because of wear and tear. Until our passing game gets more respect, it is best to rotate the RB's to keep the starter near full strength for the entire season.
1) Clemson made adjustments on defense that shut down the running game. Our coaches wisely decided to throw the ball.
quote:TO's, they laughed at the stupidity and drove the ball right down the tired D's throats.
2) Normal rotation to keep fresh legs in the game.
3) The defense (worn out) allowed Clemson to keep the ball and eat up the clock. Our entire offense had limited plays.
We need to fire Miles and hire an offensive type coach who will keep Chavis.
Idiot fans don't want to admit this because they'd rather blame a coach and keep their vicarious dreams largely intact, but we lost to Clemson because our team was highly unmotivated and played with very sporadic effort.
the best back NEVER gets all the touches in the 2nd half....FACT

Tamales are a sign of celebration at holiday gatherings in Mexican households on both sides of the border, especially for occasions like Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve dinner. Here we stuff them with creamy winter squash, black beans and tangy goat cheese.

Serves 16
Prep Time 90 min
Total Time 150 min.
Step 1
To prepare wrappers: Place cornhusks in a large bowl, cover with hot water and weight with a heavy plate or pan to completely submerge them. Let soak for 30 minutes.
Step 2
To prepare batter: Put masa and 1 1/4 cups hot water in a large bowl; stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Beat ricotta, oil, baking powder and salt in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add grits (or cornmeal) and mix until combined. Add the ricotta mixture to the masa mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in broth 1/4 cup at a time until the batter is very moist and spreadable, but not runny.
Step 3
To prepare filling: Place squash puree in a fine-mesh sieve and gently press on it to extract excess liquid. Transfer to a medium bowl and add beans, chiles and salt; stir until combined.
Step 4
To assemble tamales: Drain the cornhusks and pat dry. Sort through and pick out 16 large, unblemished husks to use as wrappers. Cut about 2 dozen thin, long strips from the remaining husks to use as ties (or use kitchen string instead). Cover the husks and ties with a damp towel to keep moist.
Step 5
Working on a clean surface, unfold one of the large cornhusks so it's completely flat. Spread 1/3 cup of the batter in the center of the husk in a 4-inch square, leaving a wide border at the top and the bottom. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling in a thin strip down the length of the batter. Top the filling with 1 rounded teaspoon goat cheese.
Step 6
Bring the two long sides of the cornhusk together, causing the batter to completely surround the filling—but don't fold the sides over the tamale yet. Fold the cornhusk ends in, then fold the sides around the tamale. If a cornhusk splits while you're folding the tamale, just wrap a second husk right over the first and finish rolling. Tie the tamale closed using a thin strip of cornhusk. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 15 more tamales. (You may have a little batter and/or filling left over.)
Step 7
To steam tamales: Fill a large Dutch oven with 1 inch of water. Place a steamer basket in the pot and loosely place the tamales upright in the basket. Cover and steam over medium heat for 1 hour. Check the water level periodically and add more boiling water if necessary. The tamales are done when the batter is firm and easily pulls away from the wrapper.

text: Hi all, I am expecting my first two packages at the end of April (one Italian, one Carni), and I am envisioning becoming a happy beekeeper (and eventually mead-maker.) My wife and I have a boy and a girl (2&5), and 2 horses, 9 ducks and 21 chickens, 2 barn cats and a rottweiler to keep an eye on everybody and bark at the raccoons in the woods at night. We have been revitalizing an old farm here in Port Townsend including a small old orchard I've been trying to nurse back into productivity, and I've been planting dozens of new fruit trees. We are contractors who install solar pv panels. I'm looking forward to getting contradictory responses to my questions from the experts on this forum!

What Are Side Effects?
All medicines have side effects. Some are unpleasant and some are unnoticeable. Mild side effects are common and mean that the medicine has started to work.
The goal of HIV treatment is to find the right combination of medicines at the right dosage that will be powerful enough to fight the HIV in your body, but won't cause too many side effects. You should talk to your healthcare provider about all treatment options and the potential side effects with each one.
For more information on possible side effects, see the Department of Veterans Affairs' What are side effects?
For information on side effects from specific HIV medication please see the Side Effects Chart from The Body.
Short-Term Side Effects
Almost all medicines have side effects, including HIV medicines. While your HIV meds are controlling the virus in your body, they may also cause:
- Anemia (abnormality in red blood cells)
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Nausea and vomiting
- Pain and nerve problems
- Rash
Long-Term Side Effects
HIV medications can have some significant, long-term side effects. While many of these side effects are treatable, some can be long-term. You need to tell your healthcare provider about any side effects, so that he or she can decide the best course of treatment for both your HIV disease and the side effects. Always let your healthcare provider know if your side effects are severe, especially if you are finding it difficult to stay on your treatment plan.
Some of the most common long-term side effects of HIV treatment include:
- Lipodystrophy–A problem in the way your body produces, uses, and stores fat. (Also called "fat redistribution"). These changes can include losing fat in the face and extremities, and gaining fat in the abdomen and back of the neck.
- Insulin Resistance–A condition that can lead to abnormalities in your blood sugar levels and, possibly, diabetes. Lab tests which look at your sugar levels are usually the best indicators that you have insulin resistance.
- Lipid abnormalities–Increases in cholesterol or triglycerides. Like with insulin resistance, lab tests (cholesterol and triglycerides) are the best indicators of lipid abnormalities.
- Decrease in bone density–Can be a significant issue, especially for older adults with HIV. This can lead to an increase risk of injury and fractures.
- Lactic acidosis–A buildup of lactate, a cellular waste product, in the body. This can cause problems ranging from muscle aches to liver failure. Alert your health care provider immediately.
Dealing with Side Effects
When you first start treatment for HIV, you may have headaches, an upset stomach, fatigue, or aches and pains. These side effects usually go away after a brief adjustment period, which can last anywhere from a few days to a month. If you notice any unusual or severe reactions after starting or changing a drug, report the side effects to your healthcare provider immediately. Dealing with medication side effects can be a huge barrier to starting and continuing HIV medications. Don't let these side effects take over your treatment plan. Talk to your health care provider and please see the comprehensive list of resources below for dealing with side effects.
For more information on dealing with common side effects of HIV treatment, see the Department of Veterans Affairs' Side Effects Guide.

I posted a while back about a purchased nuc that never got going. It was Queenless and was unable to replace her.
I purchased a new Queen about 10 days ago....she is marked which is a real treat.
I opened the hive today. Very few bees, Queen is present and she is laying...eggs and larvae visible and a wee bit of capped brood. There did not seem to be enough bees to cover where she had laid so expect at least some of her effort will fail.
However now there are absolutely no food stores! The frames are as light as air, empty and dry except where new brood is being laid. They had a gallon of 1:1 syrup and that is all gone. There seems to a lot of bees going in out even though very few inside so I am concerned about robbing. I have closed the entrance down to 1 bee space. No fighting or arguing..just activity. Can't help but wonder if that activity is robbers not householders.
I also gave them a frame of capped brood and associated nurse bees from another hive plus a full frame of honey from yet another hive. There were bees on that as well but expect they will gravitate back to their own home...hopefully they won't take the honey with them.
I put some commercial protein supplement and a hive top feeder above the inner cover. They, or the robbers, rapidly emptied the feeder. The hives adjacent to that hive have their own feeders.
What else can I do do to try and get this group of bees ready to ver winter as a single deep?
Thanks for any suggestions.
