Last Known Surviving Search Dog From 9/11 Celebrates 16th Birthday [VIDEO]
Bretagne is the last known surviving search-and-rescue dog to work Ground Zero.
Bretagne is the last known surviving search-and-rescue dog to work Ground Zero.
On Wednesday morning in New York, family and friends of the victims of 9/11, along with law-enforcement and political leaders, gathered at the World Trade Center site to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
In this stunning video, you can watch the progress of a decade's worth of construction at the site of Ground Zero.
It's the 12th anniversary of 9/11 and our hearts are are heavy for those that were affected by loss of family members, friends, co-workers and more in the attack on the World Trade Center Towers, Pentagon and Flight 93. While our hearts grieve for those that have suffered such an awful loss, here in Billings, there is one non-profit business that is going a step further than most.
The names of those who died on September 11, 2001, are being read at Ground Zero this morning.
Wednesday marks the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Memorial services will be held all across the country, many involving a reading of the victims' names.
Sometimes you can commemorate an anniversary with a special sale, but when it comes to the anniversary of an attack on our country where thousands of people lost their lives it's best to proceed with caution.
Peg Ogonowski's late husband, John, was the captain of American Flight 11 — better known as the first plane to hit the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001.
"It was that moment of before and after," said Peg, a former flight attendant. "There was my whole life before and then everything changed. It was a real line in my life that there will always be before 9/11 and after 9/11."
After the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, one of the largest American flags damaged during the attacks continued to fly above the resulting wreckage during the clean-up efforts.
Seven years later, that flag, dubbed the National 9/11 Flag, was sewn back together by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas, and has also been stitched by World War II veterans, survivors of the Ft. Hood, Texas rampage, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s family.


text: Here's an interesting one. Amazon has just introduced audio and video to the Kindle e-reader for both the iPhone, iPod touch and the iPad. But Amazon has not done the same for its own Kindle device, according to TechRadar.Why would you want such a thing with your Kindle? Well, because Amazon offers a number of books for the Kindle in multimedia editions such as Rick Steves' travel guides (which talk 'readers' through the cities), Best of the Beatles For Acoustic Guitar, and Bird Songs: 250 North American Birds In Song. With that in mind, it makes sense to integrate into the app, especially when you're dealing with devices like the Apple ones. It also encourages others to do the same with a larger market out there.'We are excited to add this functionality to Kindle for iPad and Kindle for iPhone and iPod touch,' said Dorothy Nicholls, Director, Amazon Kindle.'Readers will already find some Kindle Editions with audio/video clips in the Kindle Store today--from Rose's Heavenly Cakes with video tips on preparing the perfect cake to Bird Songs with audio clips that relate the songs and calls to the birds' appearances. This is just the beginning--we look forward to seeing what authors and publishers create for Kindle customers using the new functionality of the Kindle apps.'Of course, at the expense of growing its own e-book market, Amazon might just have hammered another nail into the Kindle's coffin. We suspect the potential gains must outweigh the losses. Well, you'd think so, wouldn't you?

Did anyone in New Orleans find honoring Tom Benson with a statue at little disturbing? A statue to a man who has made millions of dollars off the people of New Orleans and Louisiana? Does anyone remember that after Katrina he wanted to move the Saints out of New Orleans and to San Antonio? And it didn't happen only because NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue refused to let him do it! I am not a Saints fan, but I certainly remember. Call me idealistic, but I feel that statues should be erected for people who have done something brave, noble, altruistic, original — for someone whose principles and ethics set an example for future generations to take pride in and to emulate. Does Benson qualify with any of these descriptors? Nope. Every decision he has made has not been for the people of Louisiana but for himself. And the only thing this man continues to do (as reported in The Advocate Sept. 9) is to profit mightily from the loyalty of sports enthusiasts in Louisiana. But, hey this is Louisiana, where we have a love-hate relationship with the sin of greed and venerate false gods! Sometimes we send them to jail. Sometimes we erect statues to them.

We got the lowdown from RIM on the top 6 Blackberry Playbook Apps. Check it out!
11 Replies
May 3, 2011 at 12:07 UTC
Petes PC Repairs is an IT service provider.
are these what rim are saying are the top six or softchoice opinion ?
May 3, 2011 at 12:11 UTC
RIM sent me a bunch of apps and then I picked out the ones that would be best for business users. So both.
May 5, 2011 at 7:51 UTC
These all seem like nice to have apps but the truly business oriented apps are still missing. Apps like a solid RDP client and the ability to connect to corporate OWA sites. Until there are significant moves in this direction, this is still just an expensive toy.
May 12, 2011 at 5:09 UTC
i m debating if to get on on the 1st of June ... but i m not getting a good vibe ... anyone has played with one yet ?
May 12, 2011 at 5:13 UTC

not yet ive been okayed to get 3 but the android tablets are looking better at present
May 12, 2011 at 6:24 UTC
Apparently RIM Playbook will support android apps via android V2.3 Apps, big issue form me is the lack of 3g 4g and that teh device doesn't have built-in email, calendar or address book applications. To access such features, you have to go through a Web browser or beam the applications over to the PlayBook from a BlackBerry device using software called BlackBerry Bridge,

i think thats what rim want this to be, an enhancement to your blackberry so they are co-joined
not a stand alone blackberry playbook and a seperate blackberry phone both doing the same thing
May 12, 2011 at 6:57 UTC
I see but i think it would be hard to justify the extra cost of a tablet without the option to off set the cost of the blackberry ... for sure they will bring out an integrated playbook with 3-4g and emails ... I will probably hold fire until then .. but keep us posted and let us know how you find it ..

i'm holding off as i've heard that o2 (our phone supplier) will be giving us these with our next order so may be no need to buy

Are LinkedIn Sponsored Updates Right for You?
With Sponsored Updates, you can publish targeted content to the world's only professional feed. In the process, you can generate high-quality leads or build brand awareness with an audience of 347 million influencers and business decision-makers.
LinkedIn Sponsored Updates are probably for you if you're a content, social, or demand gen marketer who fits any of the following conditions:
You want to reach a premium, professional audience. For marketers of high-value products or brands, LinkedIn's audience is worth getting to know. Four out of five members impact business decisions within their companies. LinkedIn members also have above average household incomes and are nearly 2x as likely to hold a bachelor's or post-grad degree compared to most U.S. adults online.
You want to target a specific buyer persona. Using Sponsored Updates, you can reach your ideal audience based on key professional profile facets like seniority, skills, job title or function, company name, education, and more. Get your content seen by the right people using accurate, up-to-date LinkedIn data.
You're trying to boost the performance of your campaigns. As a native ad format, Sponsored Updates typically earn 3x-5x the engagement of standard display. Brands like Salesforce and Nissan are seeing strong ROI by sponsoring their rich media, e-book, webinar, and blog content.
You're trying to capture high-quality leads. According to the Content Marketing Institute, 94% of B2B marketers use LinkedIn for their content marketing. HubSpot reports that 43% of marketers have already found a customer on LinkedIn. (HubSpot even uses Sponsored Updates for its own demand gen campaigns!)
You need a content marketing environment that's friendly to brand publishers. People might spend time on other social channels, but they invest time in LinkedIn. On Linkedin, they're seeking to unlock career achievements and fulfill their professional aspirations. This professional mindset makes them highly receptive to brand content. In fact, a recent LinkedIn/TNS study revealed that LinkedIn members are 26% more positively receptive to company-published content compared to members of personal social networks.
You want to step up your mobile game. 75% of Sponsored Updates engagement happens on mobile devices. Connect with this audience by including visuals in your posts and driving traffic to mobile-optimized landing pages (with short form-fills).

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Investors Title (Nasdaq: ITIC) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, compelling growth in net income, attractive valuation levels and impressive record of earnings per share growth. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself. Investors Title Company, through its subsidiaries, provides title insurance, as well as tax-deferred real property exchange services in the United States. The company has a P/E ratio of 11.6, below the average insurance industry P/E ratio of 17 and below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 23.2. Investors Title has a market cap of $73.6 million and is part of the financial sector and insurance industry. Shares are up 5.6% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday. You can view the full Investors Title Ratings Report or get investment ideas from our investment research center.

Amanda Beebe rushed to the day care center where she left her 18-month-old son and became hysterical when she saw that her boy's body was covered with more than a dozen bite marks. His face, limbs and back were swollen and raw.
Who bit her boy? Where were the adults? How could this happen at a day care? She wanted to know.
"It looked like he'd been mauled by an animal," Beebe said on Wednesday. But the doctor at the hospital told Beebe that by the look of the marks, her son had been bitten by another child.
Now, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office and child welfare authorities are investigating the J's Bright Learners center in Bradenton, the place where her son was bitten.
Beebe said she had recently put her two children, the 18-month-old and his 4-year-old brother, into the day care so she could continue her education in alternative medicine. She said was paying $40 a week which was all she could afford and then paid the rest with a government voucher.
She said the Daycare center called her on Aug. 26, and a day care worker told her and her husband that their younger boy had been bitten once.
"We weren't upset — that happens with children," said Beebe thinking that the workers will keep a better eye on her kids so she doesn't get bitten again.
However on Aug. 29th, she got another call. This time, the employee said "it's bad, it's really bad," she recalled. She hung up and rushed to the center, where her son was covered with bites and was screaming in pain.
"As a mom, you don't ever know what you're going to do in a situation. The anger didn't set in until later," she said. "This is my son; he's been hurt. As a mom you feel like this was your fault."
She rushed him to a hospital, where doctors called authorities.
According to the Bradenton Herald, Florida's Department of Children and Families has issued violations to J's Bright Learners six times after its last 12 inspections, for leaving children unsupervised or failing to have enough staff to care for the number of children.
"I just want everyone to know this is not OK. I want justice," said Beebe, who published pictures of her boy's injuries on Facebook in a post that generated some 47,000 comments in a week.
She said she doesn't blame the other child, rather she blames the adults. She chose this day care because it was one of the few she could afford, and it had cameras. They allowed her to watch a recording, but because of the angle, she couldn't see her son being bitten, only that there appeared to be no adult in the room for about 20 minutes as her son came into view, crying.
Her son received antibiotics and is getting better, she said.
"I'm just grateful it's not worse," she said." I'm trying to look at the bright side."
10 days after the incident, a worker at the Daycare center, Caci Reese, who was in charge of the kids that day was arrested. Reese said she put the kids to sleep and checked on them every 20 minutes. However, the kids were in that room together for 2.5 hours before Bebee's son started screaming in pain.

Few people enjoy going to the doctor's office. It takes time; it costs money; and patients usually have to feel "bad enough" to even make an appointment. What patients do not need is to have difficulty scheduling an appointment, be treated poorly by staff, or feel put-off by their physician.
At Oregon Family Health, patients are never "just a number." They feel a part of our medical family. Drs. Peffley, Lucas, and Hoover are very committed to placing "FAMILY FIRST." Our goal is to make every point of interaction with Oregon Family Health as pleasant as possible. We're committed to getting patients in, attending to their medical need, and getting them out as quickly as possible.
Drs. Peffley, Lucas, and Hoover anticipate their patients want to participate in the management of their health issues. They educate patients to assist them in making the best decision for themselves. Furthermore, it is expected that their patients to keep the physicians and staff at Oregon Family Health accountable to these goals.

Merck to buy Idenix Pharma for $3.85 billion
Merck & Co. says the Cambridge, Massachusetts, company has built a promising portfolio of hepatitis C treatments, including three in clinical testing
Merck will spend $24.50 per share in cash for each share, which closed at $7.23 Friday. Shares of Idenix Pharmaceuticals Inc. soared almost 240 percent in premarket trading Monday. The boards of both companies have approved the deal.
Drugmakers are racing to develop new, potentially lucrative treatments for the blood-borne disease, which causes liver damage. The pill Sovaldi racked up more than $2 billion in sales for Gilead Sciences in its first full quarter.
Merck is based in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey.

MNHQ have commented on this thread.
Last week MNers shared their top tips on keeping your LOs onside whilst doing the supermarket shop - thank you for all your comments. Watch Shop Talk now to see if your top tips made it on the show!
Barclaycard Freedom Rewards, in association with Mumsnet, have created a new weekly online chat show: Shop Talk. Over the next few weeks, they'll be looking for MNers' shopping tips and tricks on a range of topics.
Heres what Barclaycard have to say about the show: "Shop Talk is a weekly chat show where we tackle the big shopping stories that you're talking about. A different presenter will host the show each week and first up was Andrea McLean.
Two panellists, including shopping blogger Emily and Katie from MNHQ join Andrea to discuss keeping the kids on side during your supermarket shop as well as making the most of those family days in during half term."
With regards to the Barclaycard Freedom Rewards credit card, Barclaycard say:
"Supercharge your every day shop with the Barclaycard Freedom Rewards credit card. Not only can you earn double Freedom Reward points at any UK supermarket or petrol station, you can also use it with the rewards card you already have to earn points. So you dont have to change the way you shop.
18.9% APR Representative (Variable)"
Next week's Shop Talk, hosted by Julia Bradbury, discusses reaping the rewards from everyday shopping and Barclaycard would love to hear your thoughts. What you would buy if you had an extra £50 on your reward cards? Would this differ to what you would buy with £50 cash? Share your comments on the thread here and you could win a £150 Champneys voucher.

My top tip is to leave them at home. Failing that, give them a list to keep them occupied.
We make a game out of it. she helps me to find things and pops them in the trolley and has her own basket to carry light things! Aside from bumping into the occasional display unit or customer, this works well.
I have books and snacks in my bag that I hand to her once the novelty of the above has worn off-which it does after about ten to fifteen minutes!
Top tip is to do it online but if we must go it's definitely best to make them involved - counting apples, finding Heinz beans, writing the lists, ticking the lists etc. Our supermarket has recently introduced self scan trolleys which my dd loves and would spend hours doing. As you can pack as you go a lot of time and stress is reduced
<ducks and runs for cover>
I remember doing the supermarket shop with my mum, when my little sister was a baby. The technique was to dispatch older child to the snack aisle to procure a large bag of PomBears, open bag and give to small, demanding sister, then race to finish the shop before she scarfed all her crisps
Now I have 11mo DD, the idea is pretty much the same. At that age it's not difficult to give her something to hold that she finds fascinating, a shiny apple will usually do it. She is utterly delighted to 'help', and I am generous enough to buy the slobbered on, horribly bruised article at the end of my rounds . No rewards promised because she's still too small, and is it possible to have a stress free trip? not really, to be honest, we don't run a car so the shopping usually comes after a prolonged period for DD in her pram. In an ideal world I would go with DH but as the SAHP it's always works out I go on my own, during the day.
While I'm here, I am a Barclaycard customer and found the last iteration of Freedom utterly annoying. It wasn't clear at all how to collect or spend the money, and it seemed to be really patchily applied to my account? As someone who spends a terrifying amount with you, I'd prefer a straightforward cashback offer on family friendly things. Though who wouldn't.
I do mine online. I'm a lone parent and I don't drive. Nearest supermarket I can get to it 15 by train. It would be impossible to carry it all home by train! Frozens would have defrosted by the time we got home!
DD is 2.5 and enjoys shopping. If we are doing a big shop, a steady stream of chatter gets us round without too much fuss. She also likes to put things in the trolley. She also likes to investigate other people's trolley contents.
If we are doing a smaller shop she insists on carrying the basket, until it gets so heavy that she is dragging it round.
Her one memorable helpful experience was "moving" things along the conveyor. However of the 40 or so items, the one thing she chose to move was a box of eggs, which were smashed all over the floor!
I really try not to take the children to the supermarket with me. One child on their own can be really helpful and sensible, but more than one is really awful for everyone. They are always far more silly and more likely to moan about being bored if they've got a sidekick.
I go on my own, then I get DH and the kids to unpack when I get home. They don't seem to mind that so much because they like seeing what
they can instantly stuff in their mouths I've bought.
My LO is two years old. As she likes to walk everywhere i let her take a toy shopping basket from the toys section at the supermarket and she goes along me filling her basket with some little stuff she likes. I have to take stuff out of it occasionally and put it back, but this is the only way.
Make a shopping list and let it be their job finding the things off the list. Ive always found that this keeps all three of mine occupied. if they find all the things we need, they get a treat!. never really had the problem of stressful supermarket trips thank goodness.
Give them their own simple shopping list, with just a few easy-to-find items :-)
My minded children love going shopping and it is such a learning experience for them! Weighing, measuring, pricing, numbers, letters, packing items in bags, choosing fruit to try out, choosing vegetables etc, so much learning going on.
I never have tears or tantrums in a supermarket, and don't really understand why I see other children having mega meltdowns! ( But I have seen some of my minded children with their parents and that is another story, I stay out of sight!)
My youngest is 2 next month, I always take a tub of food (normally raisins or grapes that take a while to eat) and that tends to keep him happy as I whizz round as fast as I can. He also likes me just talking to him about what we're buying. It's been a lot easier since I started to shop at Aldi as it takes far less time to do the shop than it used to at Sainsburys, and DS loves it as trains go past outside so if he starts to get grumpy I just tell him we'll be seeing the trains soon!
It's a relief to see I'm not the only one who prefers to do the supermarket shopping without dcs in tow whenever possible!
When I do have to take the 3 dcs (8, 5 and 3) along I try to split up the 'jobs' in an age-appropriate way. For example, dc1 is in charge of the list, dc3 sits in the trolley and 'spots' the item and dc2 is responsible for fetching stuff and putting it into the trolley. If we're shopping for naice things in Waitrose then we always use the self-scan (despite it taking longer) and they take it in turns to 'beep' stuff, and absolutely love operating the weighing scales and printing the prices for the fruit and veg.
On the whole, I do manage to avoid meltdowns, although I occasionally have to resort to
opening a packet of snack food before I have paid for it bribery and corruption to keep everything under control!
I use the self scan system in Waitrose and DD3 (4.8) is always happy to collect and weigh things, as well as scanning them as we walk round. She's just learning to read, so my shop is starting to take quite a while as she wants to read stuff along the way, but we have time and she really enjoys it.
Before we go she will write her own list as I do mine - cereal she wants, stuff for packed lunches etc. Tbh I never really find it a chore. In fact grocery shopping is the only kind of shopping that I actually enjoy.
But take the other three with me (20, 19 and 17) and I am the one likely to go in to meltdown... I avoid their 'help' at all costs as it is generally accompanied by pleading for junk, wine, beer and vodka to take back to school/university and I'm damned if I'm funding their partying frankly.
Give me a food shop with my four year old. Any day.
2 yr old DS likes his ride in the trolley. He also likes to be given the food to examine then put in the trolley. However, putting it in the trolley usually involves launching it over his shoulder with about a 60% success rate at getting it into the trolley. This is fine if it's bread or whatever. Not so good for the eggs.
He also likes to shout "hiya" at other shoppers, and he loves getting a smile or hello back, but if he's ignored the "hiya" gets louder and louder and he's been known to pull on sleeves to get attention if I let the trolley get too close to people! At least he's happy - and I'd take him shopping any day over DH
Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for all your ideas, they're brilliant! I used to really struggle with my two when they were a little bit younger, especially at the checkouts where all the 'goodies' are positioned. Now I make them both write out part of my shopping list and in the shop, they're in charge of making sure that we get the things on their list. It's good handwriting practice and it keeps them occupied in the shop.
Rootypig – Thanks very much for your feedback regarding the way that Freedom used to work. You weren't the only one who didn't like it, so we had a re-think and the new Freedom Rewards Credit Card was born! We think it's a lot easier for everyone to understand - you earn 1 point per £1 on all of your spending, double points on supermarkets, petrol and any Transport for London (TFL) spending and 3 points with selected Freedom partners. You can redeem your points with over 70 great brands, including many high street stores and lots of great places to visit with your family. Have a look here www.barclaycard.co.uk/freedomrewards for some more information and if you want to contact me about moving your existing card onto the Freedom Rewards card you're more than welcome to email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks again everyone for your ideas everyone, keep them coming.
I write my list in supermarket order ie fruit and veg first, dairy next etc, so we're in and out as quickly as possible. My LO isn't the best behaved at the supermarket but I try not to bribe him, I just try to distract him with things to look at or we talk about his day at school.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Thankfully we do online shopping for the big shop. Shorter trips we get by with the 'remember what's on the shopping list' games, and occupying DD with counting and adding which she thinks is very important and grown up.
I do my grocery shopping online to avoid this scenario! But inevitably, we do end up in the supermarket once in a while. DS is 1 so he gets spun about in the shopping trolley while I gurn at him which he finds sooooooo funny. DD is 3 so she gets to "help" and merrily fetches this and that with the promise of a reward at the end. All totally exhausting
Shop online. Child entertains self with the two tons of toys in his own home.
My DC are now older and don't have to accompany me everywhere, but when they did (I was a sahm for years) they certainly weren't bribed or given food to eat in a supermarket. Shopping was just part of everyday life and they either sat in the child seat in the trolley or walked alongside, helping out on occasions.
I really don't like to see children eating in a supermarket - sorry, but it's food you haven't paid for yet.
Do your grocery orders online. Tis the only way!

THIS IS A FILE PHOTO.What does that mean?
Water Resistance - Although we may pressure test a watch prior to being shipped, we do not guarantee any watch to be waterproof and do not cover any water issues under any type of warranty. The reason is because there are too many life factors that can contribute to a watch not being water resistant anymore. Statistically, this applies to even the most careful of watch wearers ...show moreshow less
Box and Papers - All box and papers do is guarantee the box and papers are authentic. The bad guys know that people put trust into original papers so by putting genuine papers with a fake watch allows them to pull off a scam...and when the buyer finds out down the road the watch was fake, the scammer is long gone. The only way to check authenticity is by having the watch checked. As with most preowned watches, the original box and/or papers are not available because they were not retained by the original owner. ...show moreshow less
Warranty – This warranty applies to the movement of the watch only. Watch movements are warrantied to perform as described in the BeckerTime item description during the warranty period. This warranty does not include the battery, strap, links, clasp, case, crown, bezel, dial, hands, screws, crystal and/or diamonds. Damage to a watch due to accident, neglect or mistreatment is not covered by this warranty. Mistreatment includes modification of the watch through the addition or substitution of parts or accessories not provided by Beckertime and will void this warranty. Also not included is the loss or theft of the watch or any damage done by loss or theft. Damage caused by fire, pressure or natural disaster is not covered. This warranty does not cover any water damage—including crystal fogginess, movement damage, dial or bezel damage, seals, gaskets, liquid penetration and any issues pertaining to water. This warranty replaces the original manufacturers warranty. ...show moreshow less
Processing Time - All items are shipped from our facility FOUR (4) BUSINESS DAYS from the date payment is received. Please be patient as this processing time is necessary to prepare each shipment with the very best care. ...show moreshow less
International Bidders - Most countries charge customs duties taxes and fees on items being imported from the USA. You are responsible to know your Country's importing laws and taxes.

Create Common Good (CCG) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit social enterprise whose goal is to empower adults with barriers to employment through foodservice training and job placement assistance. Barriers to employment like previous incarceration, domestic violence, immigration, or addiction can be overcome by gaining confidence through development of valuable job skills.
We provide a healthy and safe space for empowerment by building confidence in a 21st century workplace environment while developing hard and soft job skills.
Through an 8-week job training program, trainees master essential job skills necessary to be a successful employee in foodservice learning food safety, kitchen safety, and professionalism. At CCG, we serve individuals from all walks of life with varied backgrounds and experiences. One trainee might be a young mother who is working to make the right decision for the safety of herself and her children by leaving an abusive relationship. Another trainee might be a man who has traveled across the world to reunite with his family and needs support in language, culture, and integrating into the workforce. While yet another trainee might be person who is looking for a second chance at overcoming addiction and becoming a contributing member of the community. Although each situation looks different, there is one common goal that unites them: successfully gaining employment and becoming self-sufficient.
Meet our trainees and learn about their inspiring stories.
At CCG, we work with adults whose ultimate goal is to become employed, moving from dependence to independence. By partnering with many agencies in the community, we're able to join forces to reach potential trainees throughout Boise and offer a safe network of support and growth. Partner agencies include the International Rescue Committee, World Relief, the Agency for New Americans, the Women's and Children's Alliance, the Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, and more.
We also have developed a unique social enterprise model that leverages individual and foundational giving through revenues generated by our food production products and services. Business-to-business food production generates sustainable, repeatable revenue allowing CCG to continuously expand our job training program. Production customers include small food businesses working to grow their market, restaurants looking for recipe production solutions, and big food suppliers who need large-scale, high quality products.
Learn more about our products and services.
Our organization was founded as a 501(c)3 organization in 1999 as The Momentum Group to serve unemployed, disadvantaged members of the international community. Our mission has always been to help those in dire economic situations by offering job training, professional services and employment opportunities. We launched the organization to teach skills that lead to self-sufficiency and economic independence, bettering the lives of the individuals and enhancing the community.
In late 2008, we became known in the U.S. as 'ÄúCommon Ground,'ÄĚ a job and language skills service industry-training program that included a farm training and employment site in Boise, Idaho. During this time, we used a donated farm as an additional training tool and placed trainees in agricultural jobs. However, this strategy often led to seasonal positions that did not accomplish¬†our ultimate goal of helping others achieve self-sufficiency. ¬†Therefore, we modified our approach and now focus¬†our efforts exclusively on job training and placement in the foodservice industry.
In 2010, we rebranded as (DBA) Create Common Good, positioning ourselves for growth in Boise and beyond. Our goal has been to build an empowerment model that could be used in any community globally serving those with barriers to employment that need the skills and confidence to find employment. We are a passionate, business-minded organization with a dynamic, talented and rapidly growing team.

Could we set datvacuumxid to frozenxid after freezing template0 and making it non-connectable ? There was discussion about making a non-connectable db connectable, one step would be to set datvacuumxid to currentxid. Then the rule would be: ignore db's that have datvacuumxid == frozenxid. (only readonly db's would be allowed to have datvacuumxid == frozenxid) Andreas PS: I agree that the rename from datfrozenxid to datvacuumxid should be undone

ON THE EDGE, AN AUTEURIST HISTORY OF FILM and More Set for MoMA Films Series, Now thru 5/23
The Museum of Modern Art has announced its upcoming screenings for its film series, now through May 23, 2014. Details below!
On the Edge: Brazilian Film Experiments of the 1960s and Early 1970s May 10-July 24 In direct dialogue with Brazil's marginal film movement, and in continuation of Lygia Clark's abandonment of the production of "commodifiable" art objects, after 1968 numerous Brazilian artists turned to the moving image as a means for self-exploration and political resistance. As the artist and filmmaker Lygia Pape put it, "Marginal was the revolutionary act of invention, a new reality, the world as change, error as adventure and the discovery of freedom...the anti-film." In conjunction with the exhibition Lygia Clark: The Abandonment of Art, 1948-1988, MoMA presents a film series that charts the era's vibrant underground cinema scene.
An Auteurist History of Film Reprise, Part 2 May 16-June 3 Because MoMA's Auteurist History of Film weekday-afternoon screenings (see below) are not easily accessible to many museum-goers, this series is intended to enable folks to catch up on many of the films from the 1960s that we have screened over the past year. Upcoming highlights include Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (1960), Billy Wilder's The Apartment (1960), Blake Edwards's Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), and a special screening of Leo McCarey's Marx Brothers classic Duck Soup (1933), held in conjunction with Marxfest.
Iberoamérican Images: The State of the Art Through May 14 For just over 15 years, Ibermedia has been instrumental in the continued ascent of Latin American, Spanish, and Portuguese filmmaking. MoMA's fourth biannual Ibermedia program is particularly rich, with a number of films that have U.S. distribution and/or a healthy festival run behind them, and a treasure trove of films by filmmakers who seldom get the opportunity to show their work in the U.S. Several filmmakers will be present to introduce their films throughout the series.
Christoph Schlingensief Through May 29 Everything was possible in the world of the polymath Christoph Schlingensief. Combining an irreverent sense of humor and obsessive knowledge of film history in a tireless attempt to upset Germany's postwar complacency and neurotic relationship to its own past through camp, absurdity, and horror, Schlingensief was Germany's artistic enfant terrible and obnoxious social conscience until his untimely death from cancer in 2010. Organized in conjunction with the presentation of his work at MoMA PS1, this series of screenings contextualizes Schlingensief's filmic production-little known in the U.S.-within that of his peers and influences.

The Curse of Genetic Testing Multiplied by 3,500
|June 7, 2012
|Posted by Anthony under abortion, apologetics, Blog, eugenics, evolution, family, General, Holocaust, human rights, Malthusians, morality, original sin, philosophy, pro-life, science, scientism, Secular Humanism
An article I read today announces that they have found a way to test for 3,500 genetic faults, raising concerns (the article says) about the ethical implications. The story veers headlong into a sustained bout of research that I am currently engaged in, research that began by wanting to answer the basic question "how does […]
Why I became a Conservative
|January 26, 2011
|Posted by Anthony under atheism, Blog, evolution, Holocaust, human rights, morality, original sin, politics, pro-life, scientism, Secular Humanism, theism
When I was in college there was this guy 2 1/2 times larger than me… a philosophy major, as I recall… appropriately named 'Animal.' I remember having a debate about pain with him. I argued it was all in our minds- just a brain state- and not real. Animal said, "Come here, and I'll show you unreal pain."
While I was of the mindset that there were just "brain states" or just "subjective opinions" or just "one's political views", I was a liberal. When my mindset changed, so did my 'political' stance. This is a realization that congealed more than ten years after the change had happened. Was it just me? Correlation does not prove causation, and yet I see the same ingredients in the conservatives and liberals I meet. What made my mindset change?
I wouldn't say it happened over night but there was a singular 'event' that proved the catalyst. One should understand that at the time, I was a Christian, an apologist, a Christian religion teacher. But I still entertained many viewpoints we'd call 'liberal.' The catalyst arose out of my never ending quest to make sure that when I talk about something, I actually know what I'm talking about. In the general course of that, I read a great many writings of Communists, Nazis, and to a lesser extent, the 'fascists.' Here I discovered something frightening: these people were advocating many of the same things I was advocating, and for the same reasons.
The Courage of Their Convictions: Jared Lee Loughner, James Jay Lee and the Power of Belief
|January 21, 2011
|Posted by Anthony under abortion, apologetics, atheism, Blog, evolution, General, human rights, Malthusians, morality, original sin, philosophy, politics, pro-life, scientism, Secular Humanism, theism
We live in a curious time. Good people who are otherwise sane entertain the notions that Lee and Loughner embraced and acted on. Over against those notions they have some memory of the bloodsport of the 20th century and are keen to avoid it a second go around. What they don't ask is: "Maybe it isn't just one particular application of these beliefs that ought to be discredited… maybe the beliefs themselves should be chucked?"
To illustrate.
Let us imagine that someone believed that all people with red hair should be killed because they aren't really people. You talk to him. He's a perfectly pleasant fellow. Very sane. "So, you aren't going to actually kill any red haired people or advocate that others do?" you ask him. "Of course not," he says. That's a relief, of course. "Why believe it if you won't carry it out?" you persist. "That would be horrible. I would feel terrible," he says. "Hmmm," you might say, "Perhaps the fact that you are deeply uncomfortable with wiping out those with red hair is because even though you say they aren't people, in fact, you think they are. Why not then dispense with your belief that they aren't really people?"
Something very much like this is at the root of much thinking among secular humanists. They don't really believe what they're saying. If they did, we'd all be in a lot of trouble and they'd probably go a little nuts.
Apologetics is the Answer to Abortion and Euthanasia and other Life Issues
|January 7, 2011
|Posted by Anthony under abortion, apologetics, atheism, Bible Reliability, Blog, Christianity and Culture, Creationism, eugenics, evolution, family, General, Global Warming, Holocaust, homosexuality, human rights, Jesus, Malthusians, morality, politics, pro-life, scientism, Secular Humanism, speaking engagements, theology
Apologetics ministries tend to focus on issues such as God's existence or the fact of the resurrection or the Bible's reliability. These are all very important. Indeed, they bear directly on the issues at hand- for if there is no God, it obviously follows that we cannot be made by him in his image. Further, Jesus suffering, death, and resurrection on behalf of a fallen human race is an emphatic testament to how much God himself values each human life. Dispense with these, and there are ripples down the line.
There, however, is where I wish to make the point: there are ripples down the line.
Somewhere I read once that in the 1700s they went after God. In the 1800s, they went after Jesus. In the 1900s, they went after Man. The sequence is logical, rational, and predictable. One would like to think that they can dispense with God without there being practical effect, but the 1900s have shown otherwise.
History of the Culture of Death
|December 12, 2010
|Posted by Anthony under abortion, apologetics, atheism, Blog, eugenics, evolution, General, Global Warming, human rights, Malthusians, morality, original sin, philosophy, pro-life, scientism, Secular Humanism
Pro-life speaker Anthony Horvath recounts the history of the 'Culture of Death' from Thomas Malthus to Charles Darwin to Margaret Sanger to Peter Singer, with an array of personalities in between. Horvath shows why population control proposals permeate the 'Progressive' movement for the last 200 years and why, and how, it must be countered today. This presentation was delivered Nov. 20th, 2010, at Concordia University in Seward Nebraska for a Nebraska Lutherans for Life organization.
