Dr. John Brennan,
Dr. John Brennan researched several Executive MPH programs before electing to come to Columbia. "What attracted me to this program was the diversity of the applicants and classes" Dr. Brennan says, "I didn't want a pure physician program." The cohort he graduated with this past September included not only physicians but also business executives, lawyers, healthcare consultants, senior hospital administrators and a venture capitalist. In addition to the diversity of people and ideas within his classes, Dr. Brennan was attracted to the curriculum's significant focus on healthcare management as well as the public health component. The professors' emphasis on theory and practice further contributed to his experience, "I believe that the ability to bring the practical day to day into an academic curriculum is what separates Columbia from the rest of the programs."
Dr. Brennan went to medical school at Georgetown University and completed his residency in Emergency Medicine at LA County in southern California. After a stint in the United States Air Force, he went on to work as the Chief Operating Officer of a large private practice emergency medicine group in New Jersey. He was then recruited to work as a Senior Vice President of Clinical Services for a 10-hospital healthcare system in New Jersey, overseeing quality and safety. In 2007 Dr. Brennan became the Executive Director of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center & Children's Hospital Center of New Jersey, a comprehensive healthcare facility that provides treatment to patients throughout New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area. Dr. Brennan is responsible for the operations of the facility including the financial status, quality and safety of the hospital.
Dr. Brennan credits Columbia University's EMPH program, not only for sharpening his critical thinking skills, but for giving him a strong overview of the healthcare system and its projected path, which has helped broaden his perspective in his current position. "A lot of the information that I obtained helped me to better predict where healthcare is going to go and what areas to focus on as far as taking care of a community and a population." He also credits the program's 4-day per month schedule for allowing him to manage work in addition to family and school. Despite the complications of a hectic schedule, Dr. Brennan continues to find time for his wife and three children, whether it be on the soccer field, on the golf course, or in the kitchen.

History made: White perch wins Great Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby
His victory marked the first in the history of the derby that an angler has won with anything other than a rainbow trout.
Under the old rules, the largest prizes went to the largest rainbow trout, but this year, derby organizers decided to hold a drawing among the anglers bringing in the top fish in all categories - lake trout, rainbow trout, white perch, yellow perch, cusk, pickerel, and black crappie.
It was Head's first derby victory. For his catch of a 2.76 white perch, caught on Big Squam Lake, he was entered into the final drawing. He couldn't believe his ears, he said, when his name was called for the top prize, $15,000 cash.
"I can't believe it," he said. When asked what he would do with the prize money, he answered, "I don't know yet."
Second place, a prize of $5,000, went to Lawrence Shipley of Belmont. Third place, $3,000, went to Thomas Knight of Hampton.
In past years, the top three prizes have been vehicles and fishing equipment. This year, having learned that some recent prize winners had sold their prizes for cash, and given the slow economy, derby organizers decided to award cash as prizes.

A recent letter to the editor titled "Where is the Value of Public Health?" reviewed the funding sources for the Ohio Department of Health and inferred the state of Ohio should mandate only one health district per county. In 1971, the local Seneca County District Advisory Council, which includes the cities of Fostoria and Tiffin, made a decision to combine local health districts to better serve Seneca County, including all of the boundaries of the city of Fostoria. This was a local decision, not mandated by the state of Ohio.
All public health services are local. Ohio ranks 50th in the nation in CDC funding support for public health. We can't get any worse unless they add another state to the union! With current proposed state budget cuts, local public health will receive 6 cents per capita in state subsidy, yet we are required to spend $3 per capita to get it.
Our health district's total generated revenue in 2012 was $2,474,289. Of that amount, $1,861,130 was received through local funding (local levy, District Advisory Council support, and revenue through fees, contracts or donations). We received $11,492 in state subsidy support. The remainder of our state revenue ($601,667) came from grants, several of which required local matching funds.
Your local public health district has been working closely with other health districts for many years. We do this in order to enhance opportunities to better serve our individual community. Through collaboration and partnerships, we also support and lift up other health districts which are not in a position to receive the needed funding to provide their own local critical public health services.
To have only one health district per county is a local decision and should not be mandated by the state of Ohio. If and when local leadership feels the need to combine health districts within a county or with surrounding counties, it should be the decision of local government, local leadership and residents within a local community, not mandated by the state, especially a state which clearly does not support local public health.

Did A Project Runway Contestant Rip Off Lululemon?
Michael Costello isn't the only Project Runway contestant being accused of cheating in last week's activewear competition. Winner Andy South's designs made it into Heidi Klum's New Balance line, but one piece has been conspicuously altered.
The hoodie that South designed on the show bears a striking resemblance to one put out by Lululemon. We can't decide if the similarity was intentional or coincidental, but New Balance changed the final design.
What do you think? Did Andy cheat?

It's a political campaign like no other – perhaps it's the uncampaign that is emerging with this new era that is gaining in fire. Politics is a smash of the old and the new, so why not have protest follow in its wake? bprentice shows just how easy it can be done with the ever-popular chief of New York and his pepper-spray enforcing ways using that age-old quote of Marie Antoinette (yes, we know she didn't actually say this but it still works). This is the second such ad I've seen where Bloomberg's face has been superimposed on the body of another in a political statement that is actually quite catchy.
Politicians can no longer be assured that their PR machines will be up to the task of working against true public sentiment. No matter how many news media outlets they buy, they'll never be able to afford the word on the street. That's the domain of the rest of the "unwashed massed" (as they like to call us) and it is the land of free speech. And free expression. Which is all sublimely loud and expressive. If we've got to be imprisoned by brain-numbing campaign ads ever moment of our day (as well as by undemocratic government actions), then you can expect that works like these will only increase in their brilliance. And they're brought to you by the agency of mankind – found everywhere.

And once you made me think about it, any policy stability at this moment would be only superficial: after switching organizational forms and figuring out what sbcl-1.1 release should be, then things can settle down again, to whatever.

Investors Are Rushing to Buy Farmland
by healthypages on 19/08/2011 - 08:49 am |
Tag: News
It is being reported in the top investor journals that big investors are rushing to buy into farmland. Apparently the top investors see farmland as the new gold and some such as George Soros are even selling gold in order to invest into farmland.
The reason is that food prices are expected to start rising rapidly even as much as doubling within two years in countries such as the U.S. where the dollar is continually weakening. Even at present the United nations report that food prices are rising by 30% each year.
The Bloomberg magazine, one of the highly respected financial journals reported that "Investors are pouring into farmland in the U.S. and parts of Europe, Latin America and Africa as global food prices soar," adding that "A fund controlled by George Soros, the billionaire hedge-fund manager, owns 23.4 percent of South American farmland venture Adecoagro SA."
The demand for food is rising fast as the world population increases and at the same time there is a reduction in fossil water supplies, climate change and a continuous series of failures in genetically engineered crops (GM).
The Chairman of Rogers Holdings based in Singapore, Jim Rogers is the man who predicted the 1996 global commodities rally. He said, "I have frequently told people that one of the best investments in the world will be farmland," adding that "You've got to buy in a place where it rains, and you have to have a farmer who knows what he's doing. If you can do that, you will make a double whammy because the crops are becoming more valuable."

By Johnny Kampis | Missouri Watchdog
ST. LOUIS — The state auditor has gotten a whiff of a funky smell coming out of Clarksdale, and it's not just the sewers.
In a town of about 300 residents, 38 homes were getting water service without paying for it. A handful of others received reduced rates on their water debts, auditor Thomas Schweich's staff found.
It's another case of an unchecked small town in Missouri.
By state law, municipalities go unexamined, except when residents sign a petition. Although Missouri law requires such entities to file annual financial reports with Schweich, no penalties exist for failing to comply, and many ignore the statute, Missouri Watchdog reported in July.
Schweich told city leaders he didn't know when Clarksdale was last audited. Sixty-one residents of the Kansas City suburb signed a request for Schweich to investigate city finances.
Spence Jackson, Schweich's media director, said Clarksdale last filed a financial report with the state auditor's office in 1997.
The good news, however, is that Clarksdale is no Lanagan, the town where auditors found massive debt after years of mismanagement.
"In Lanagan they just weren't very interested in making corrections, but in this case the city of Clarksdale, in light of the poor audit, is seeing this as a roadmap to positive change," Jackson told Watchdog.
Clarksdale Mayor Shirley Kretzschmar, who took office in April, said sewer commissioner Sam Clary has taken over the duties of water commissioner, and City Clerk Meta Sampsel is helping ensure delinquent accounts are tracked.
Sampsel is the wife of the former mayor, Carl Sampsel, one of the people who petitioned for Schweich's visit. Carl Sampsel did not return a call from Watchdog on Friday.
Schweich found that more than $10,000 was owed the city in delinquent accounts.
The former water commissioner, Kretzschmar said, worked without checks and balances; the commissioner is now repaying a delinquent water account for his home. She declined to name the commissioner, who was fired in May. Jackson said his name is Daniel Rogers.
"There was no double checking," she said. "He read the meters, entered the information into the computer, collected the bills and deposited the money."
Schweich commended town leaders on their efforts to shore up the accounting practices of its water and sewer department.
"Clarksdale was a town that was kind of stuck in the old ways of doing business," Jackson said. "We feel very good about the direction they want to take to make improvements."
Schweich's staff will be back to ensure those ideas are implemented. Any entity that receives a poor rating gets a return visit within 90 days.

I'm so proud that my governor, Christine Gregoire will be heading up Washington's Gay Pride Parade this year. Makes my heart squeeze with emotion, it does. I look at these images and what do I see? Do I see a proud, honorable society? Do I see a group of people dedicated to altruistic desires to help other humans in need? Do I see a group of people worthy of my respect? Do these people truly expect me to believe they understand marriage? Should these people be parents to adopted children? Do I see loyalty? Do I see virtue? Do I see humanity? Do I see humility? Do I see kindness? Do I see tolerance? Do I see respect? (more…)

Some things delight us way more than they probably should. We're not talking about finding a lone 50-dollar bill on the street, or realizing last-minute that it's daylight savings time and you get to sleep an extra hour. Of course these little surprises would make you yelp in ecstasy.
It's these 5 little things that result in a baffling amount of happiness — much more than you might expect. For instance, competent customer service. You expect this to be horrid. It's like chugging a can of Natty Light or losing your virginity. You don't expect it to be awesome; you just want to get the damn thing over with so you can get what you need. But when your crud is actually taken care of in a timely manner, and you don't have to speak to a robot wearing a hearing aide for 10 minutes, it's like you just discovered that McDonald's French fries actually help you lose weight. It's amazing. This and 4 more things that make us oddly ecstatic here.

Moviegoers have diverse senses of humor, and different people find different things funny. A regular comedy may contain just one type of comedy throughout. A great comedy movie appeals to the greatest number of people and often has the most elements, or the most extreme examples of these elements, that elicit laughs from its audience.
Wacky Characters
Quirky mannerisms or eccentric and extreme behavior are often behind the funniest, most memorable characters in great comedies. Even before he launches himself on the plot's quest for a missing dolphin in "Ace Ventura," from 1994, the title character's manic, animal-obsessed personality, coupled with his famous slick-sided, front-raised hairdo generated audience laughs. Both the still-trying-to-be-hip Austin Powers character, as well as the pinkie-finger-kissing Dr. Evil, from "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery," released in 1997, can make audiences giggle, just by looking at them.
Funny Lines
A great comedy movie usually has funny, memorable lines that viewers laughingly quote when they leave the theater, and even years later. An often-quoted back-and-forth between two characters from 1980s "Airplane" goes: "Can you fly this plane and land it?...Surely you can't be serious...I am serious, and don't call me Shirley." Rodney Dangerfield's obnoxious, wisecracking character in 1980's "Caddyshack" had plenty of hysterical lines, such as "Oh, this is your wife? Oh, a lovely lady. Hey baby, you're alright -- you must've been something before electricity, huh?"
Physical Comedy
A short, naked, crowbar-wielding Asian guy springing out of a car, onto the shoulders of another character, beating him with the crowbar, and then proceeding to beat down his two friends is the type of physical comedy that audiences find ultra funny. That scene is from the hugely successful "The Hangover" of 2009. Physical scenes, such as a deadbeat character tumbling down a staircase to get out of paying his rent in "Coming to America," from 1988, often bring enjoyably funny action to a great comedy, much like a furious, screeching car chase brings thrills in an action flick.
Exaggerated Situations
Outlaw cowboys sitting around a crackling campfire, releasing a symphony of farts that fill the air and annoy their leader in Mel Brooks' 1974 comedy, "Blazing Saddles," is a prime example of a politically-incorrect, exaggerated situation that provokes laughter in great comedies. These situations usually abound in the same movie. Later in "Blazing Saddles," that same group of cowboys furiously rides galloping horses across a barren desert, and encounters a lone, dime-taking toll booth -- and none of them have dimes. They have to sit and wait while somebody goes back and retrieves a load of dimes.

@JodiOleen No kidding – it would be an ORGY with #bacon #foodmedia
apparently, if you are a great food writer, you can make fat on a piece of toast sound SEXY #foodmedia via @diannej
CONTEXT – where are you, where is the food,, what is happening around the food you are writing about #foodmedia via @diannej
My biggest goal to take away from #foodmedia was to improve my food writing – that is happening! #foodmedia via @diannej
POWERFUL ACTION VERBS – Verbs give your writing vitality and action #foodmedia via @diannej
Look at your writing – does it make a movie play in your head – can you see, hear, smell, taste, the food you are describing? #foodmedia
SLOW MOTION – Break apart what you experience, using all the senses #foodmedia via @diannej
Uh-oh I use a lot of these words that @diannej hates in my own food writing – I need new words! #foodmedia
Rather than just using adjectives, evoke memories/experiences of food that helps describe the current experience #foodmedia via @diannej
Food writers often OVERUSE adjectives – try writing with fewer – not a chain of 4 #foodmedia via @diannej
Love this handout of adjectives for food writing! #foodmedia http://t.co/rnYrs5LL
Adjectives are the crack of food writing #foodmedia via @diannej
Why should anyone care about YOUR writing? your food writing? Make them care! #foodmedia via @diannej
The essence of food writing is that you have to be a good writer #foodmedia via @diannej
Even though I'm not a coffee drinker, I couldn't help but notice @Kaldis_Coffee was so pretty in everyone's cups at #foodmedia
@MamaDweeb Sharing is caring #VZWSS #Spon
Food writing is about memory, senses, history, health and so much more but MOSTLY it is about RECIPES #foodmedia via @diannej
Lots of folks came in from out of town and out of state for #foodmedia so awesome!

"Call Me maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen
Well, this is my favourite song since long time ago but as the song is one of the super-duper hit right now, let me share it in here. i'm freaking loving the simple and catchy melody of the song plus the lyrics! yup, there are like two verses which i like the most. hehe...here there are.. :)
" Hey, i just met you and this is crazy,
But here's my number. so, call me maybe! "
" You took your time with the call, I took no time with the fall
you gave me nothing at all but still you in my way! "
OMG..the man talent is killing my sight!! haha..sorry for posting on this HOT vid that featuring a seriously HOT hunk on this fasting month. haha..now, i suggest you for not replying the vid or otherwise you might end up ...hmmm....hahaha
haha..the ENDING is simply hilarious. haha..love it, simple and funny! by the way, although she doesn't sounds very good during the LIVE performance (try to watch her LIVE perf on the recent Teen Choice Awards 2012) but i'm still fanning her as i just adore her name, CARLEY RAE JEPSEN! :)
"so, CALL ME MAYBE!" ^^

What I Learned From The Orphans~
وَاعْبُدُواْ اللّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكُواْ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَبِذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْجَارِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ وَالصَّاحِبِ بِالجَنبِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا
Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him. be kind to parents and near kinsmen, to the orphans and to the needy, to your neighbor who is your kindred, and to the neighbor at your far side, and the companion at your side, and to the destitute traveler, and to that which your right hands owns. Allah does not love he who is proud and struts,
The orphans, they are impeccable adorable, very innocence and honorable to Allah The Greatest. They've made me realized how fortunate i am for still having both of the parents although i didn't do my very best yet. there are still lot and lot of things i haven't done yet. i'm not a good daughter myself..huhu
Besides, they'd show me how much i should thankful for living under the good condition in which i can afford to buy everything i desired and eat anything i'm craving for. Alhamdulillah...Thanks Allah The Most Generous One.
Well, I have a great day on yesterday as i've joined an iftar program with all my brothers and sisters at the Rumah Kebajikan Baitul Hidayah. it was a very pleasant evening and insyAllah, i will try my best to write the full entry about it as soon as possible. :)
Happy Breaking the fast peeps and hey, remember be moderate in your iftar hunting at the bazaar! hehe

Eiffel, I'm in Love!
[ images are courtesy to tumblr.com]
Awal pertama jumpa denganmu
Membuat hatiku melayang
Kau panah aku dengan pesonamu
Sehingga tercuri hatiku
Kau buat aku jadi salah tingkah
Saat kau memuji diriku
Dan tak asingkah, dan secepat itu
Ku bisa dekat denganmu
Tapi malu untuk ku akui
Ini cinta yang pertama
Ku rasakan indahnya jatuh cinta
Dan hatiku jadi....i'm falling in love
Terasa di hati berbunga-bunga setiap bertemu.......Sik Asik by Ayu Ting Ting
and i just know that i wanted to meet you again and again and again....
its a very nice Indonesian song. try to listen to it. btw, i know i've promised you to write only the good thing in here. huhu~ therefore, i pray that this love will never cross the boundary. ya Allah, do please protect me..amin...
j.u.s.t Thai@One Utama
Oh, this dining was actually done looooong time ago when Ramadhan is still like 3 months to go. seriously, i've already forgotten this post which i've keep it in the draft box! thus, as we're now in the fasting month, i'm sure lot of you are looking for a nice place to break the fast.
so, if you happen to be in the One Utama and don't have the idea of where is that 'nice place', here i'd like to suggest you to try out a restaurant name "j.u.s.t Thai". its located at the ground floor of the shopping mall just besides the Fish 'n Co (if i'm not mistaken~).
nothing much in here but let me give my verdict of the whole experience. here are some of the menu of the day. :)
chicken tomyam - RM10.00
stir-fried minced chicken with hot basil leaves served with steamed rice & sunny side up - RM13.90
green papaya salad (sam tam) - RM10.00
obviously, its a Thai cuisine restaurant and please do not ask for any steak in the menu. huahua..so, whenever we're talking about the Thai cuisine, the only dish that popping out in my mind is the spicy and delicious TOMYAM! nevertheless, Thai cuisine is not strange to Malaysian anymore whereas you can find it anywhere at anytime~
yup, the main aim was to taste the delicate soup of the tomyam since my sister kept on promoting it~ ok, my verdict would be IT WAS VERY NICE in which you can taste the spiciness and the sourness of the soup. unfortunately, i should claim that I'VE TASTED A GREATER ONE compare to THIS ONE. huhu..
then, the steamed rice with the side chicken dish is just so-so to my liking. yup, i don't really into that stir-fried minced chicken because i don't quite sure the reason. hehe..it just unsatisfied me but hey, the steamed rice was very smooth and well-cooked! haha
thanks to the salad a.k.a kerabu betik as this was the only good 'thing' on the table and it could be the only reason that i have if i've ever step into this restaurant again. haha..sounds cruel huh?! >"<
haha..looks tempting enough? well, when we're so hungry, we don't really care about the taste. haha..therefore, i'd still recommend you guys to try it by yourself since I CANNOT JUDGE THEM based on just these three dishes. yup, its not fair at all since they still got plenty of choices!
however, as for me....hmmm...if i'm craving over the Thai food, i'll try my best to find another place besides this one since it was just so-so to me. huhu..P.E.A.C.E No War!

The Sun Goes Down, The Stars Come Out
Oh..i always adore the magnificent look of the sky especially when the night curtain started to fall down. the combination of the hues are real-fascinating (fyi:those photos were undergo minor editing).
personally, i feel that it will look more admirable at an empty road in a town. i love when the colors became gradient at the end-point of the road plus how the light peeking out in between of the skyscrapers. it is something that you couldn't describe in a words. Thank God, Allah is The Greatest!
Happy fasting peeps. Alhamdulillah, it was already the 5th of Ramadhan today.. :)

Photo Diary #5 - i LOVE My Darling Girlfriends!
[photos are edited by using the Adobe Photoshop CS3]
well, this short and shhwweeeet moment with my dearly GF was actually happened on the last-last-last-last weekend. haha..yup, it was almost month ago to be exact. hehe..you know my bad habit which is i cannot stand from editing those photos. so, it will not boring you! thus, thats the reason of every update in here will take a long period of time. mian hae.. :)
personally, spending quality times with my girlfriends is definitely the best moment in my life. no, we don't need any special activity, we just need the time and energy. haha..ok to be real, the money as well because all we did were updating the latest news of everybody, eating like there is no tomorrow, gossiping over the current K_POP issues and TAKING PHOTOS as much as we could! haha..seriously, it was damn fun!
the reason why this meeting was the most memorable one is because we haven't seeing each other like more than 5 months. haha..yup, not a year yet but still this gathering was the first after the graduation on the last March. so, everybody was like missing each other plus our next trip to the USS desperately need to be re-planning lor. hehe..
anyhow, i value my friendship so much because they are the people who stand by me no matter i'm in the good condition or the bad one. they are also the reason why i always ended up forgetting my own problems and live this life happily and beautifully. haha..thank you babes, you girls are one of the best 'thing' happened in my life! huhu...sile terharu yerrr.. ;'(
lastly, to my beloved babes, Cik Piqah, Wanie-chan, Cik Parhin Matori and Kak Ekin Bucuk..saya sayang kamoo semua!! and..
InsyAllah, Ukhuwah Fillah Abadan Abada..amin..
Coupling in my perception.
[adorable photo is courtesy to google.com]
isn't the photo is just soooooo adorable?! yup, one of the reason is they are obviously a cute child and the other reason is the Islamic atmosphere that is successfully being executed by both of the child and the mosque behind them. what i wanna say is whenever there is an Islamic factor, insyAllah everything is looking beautiful and peaceful! :)
hehe..it was not actually what i intended to write beforehand. haha..i just being distracted by the lovely photo there when i'm googling the appropriate image for this entry. but still the discussion here has to do with the coupling of a boy and a girl. hmm..let me share it in here.
Alhamdulillah, i feel soooo relief soon after i gave some 'words' to a friend after keeping it for quite a long time. the feeling can't be describe in which i feel like i've done my best as a Muslim towards another Muslim. you know sometimes you just don't find the right time and place plus you always ended up having this thought, "huh, i'm NO PERFECT EITHER!".
anyhow, it was done, Alhamdulillah. now, lets talk about the coupling issue. admittedly, i've never 'experienced' it in another word some people might say, tak laku lah tuh....hahaha whatever! but honestly, i'm scared of it and i'm very thankful to Allah for choosing me because i know i can't handle it well. yup, i'm too 'fragile' for it. arghh..you know what i meant right?! its all about the evil soul of nafs.. (">.<)
thus, i'm holding to this if i can't manage it well, so don't bother about it. avoid it and just pray for the right man who can lead me towards the jannah and the right time to come. insyAllah.. :)
OK, i don't have a word to describe the sweetness of the photo. hmmm..just can pray for my moment to come beautifully like this..amin. hehe..now, this is the real me. Arrghhhhh....hensem saaaangaaat lah laki si Irma ni. adoiii, sile tampar saya seket yang tengok laki org xberkelip kelip. ya Allah...melting nyerrrrr!!!! haha
i shared this not because i'm perfect but because people always said that hey, sharing is caring lor. Wallahualam.. :)

Ahlan Wasahlan Ya Ramadhan Kareem.
Alhamdulillah, Allah had given me the chance to again welcoming the Holy month of Ramadhan Kareem. yup, this is the most awaited month for all the Muslim since the good deeds will be doubled-up plus the evil shaitan were being jailed in the jahannam hell! wallahualam..
thus, no negative provocation around us to do the prohibited action. otherwise, it is coming from ourself. so, lets increase up our ibadah and try the very best to collect the rewards since this is the only time we can perform the solat sunat tarawikh, right?! :)
hence, i wish all the Muslim readers a very Happy Fasting and insyAllah, i will try my best to write only a good things in here. then, thank you for all the LOVE and supports! ^^

MOUNTAIN BIKING: Katy and the golden smile
6:00pm Saturday 25th August 2012 in Sport By Dan Barnes
BOX mountain biking star Katy Curd says that concentrating on the fun side of her sport was the key to one of the finest victories of her career, as she became a European champion last weekend.
The 23-year-old was first over the finish line in 47.7 seconds at the 4X European Continental Championships in Szczawno, Poland, on Saturday, narrowly beating World Cup series champion Anita Molcik and London 2012 BMX competitor Romana Labounkova.
Last weekend's competition was also a European Championship debut for Curd, who was named British 4X champion for the third successive year in July.
Hher new fun-first attitude to competition came after injury robbed her of an appearance at the 2011 World Championships in Switzerland a year ago.
"It happened on August 5 last year – I missed a jump at a World Cup event in France and slammed into the track, breaking my arm in two and my shoulder," said the Wiltshire rider.
"I was out for six months and missed the World Championships and when I came back, I just wanted to try and ride for fun and enjoy it as much as possible.
"Last weekend was a great race and there were so many people there – I'd raced on the track in the World Cup before so I knew a bit about it but I was still a bit nervous when I saw people like Romana Labounkova and Anita Molcik at the start line.
"I've had a long time out but enjoying things has paid off and it's definitely one of the biggest things I've ever won, although being British champion will always be special to me."
Curd is currently gearing up for this year's World Championships, which begin on August 31, and her preparations have been boosted by her new base in the Netherlands.
Since April, Curd, who rides for the international Rose Vaujany Gravity Team, has been staying with her team manager Joost Wichman in the Dutch town of Lichtenvoorde and the European champion thinks that she's benefitted from being abroad.
"The team usually just meet up at races because there are three Dutch riders, one German, one Belgian and I'm the only one from the UK but after a team trip to Italy in April, I decided to stay abroad," she said.
"We're usually racing every weekend so it helps to be able to go out for training sessions in the week with my manager and then compete – it's been good but the only problem so far has been the language barrier."

Desiree Banner (Brooke White) may own her own record company but she has struggled to find her perfect melody since leaving the band she once headlined with her brothers Mitchell (Christian Campbell) and Johnny (Michael Barbuto). Her departure from the band, The Banner Project, led her into a marriage that was doomed to fail and deeply damaged her relationship with Mitchell, whom she has avoided for the past ten years. Nevertheless, when Desiree's mother, Rosalind (Mercedes Ruehl), suffers a heart attack, Desiree and Mitchell rush home and join their brother Johnny to be by her side. Shortly after Desiree arrives in her hometown of Pinewood Hills, she learns that the town will face bankruptcy if it can't make a bond repayment by the July 4th Holiday. Confined to bed and hating every minute of it, Rosalind, who also happens to be Mayor of Pinewood Hills, has secretly hatched a plan to repay the town's debt.
As Desiree attempts to work with her brothers to conjure up a long-term solution to Pinewood's financial crisis, she must face her past mistakes head on, including the bad blood with Mitchell. As the Fourth of July approaches, it is up to Desiree and her siblings to put into action a plan that will save Pinewood Hills.

WisDems: Dirty Politics
MADISON - The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel yesterday featured a questionable, far-fetched claim by two doctors from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The he-said, she-said story includes several holes in both Dr. Michael Smith's and an unnamed doctor's attack on Third District Congressman Ron Kind. A spokesperson for the conservative pharma-funded 60 Plus Association, which ran $600,000 worth of ads against Ron Kind this cycle, Dr. Michael Smith has donated and held fundraisers for Kind's opponent, Dan Kapanke.

have you also changed providers?
if not ... it should work OK
as people swap and change to get the best value ... a good idea would be to cut all existing ties - get yourself a googlemail address and stick to that.
the good news is it will work with any provider ... anywhere in the world - yours for life ... not just while the offer lasts

UWM professors Festus Obiakor and René Antrop-González say that widespread institutional racism in MPS is holding students of color back. Festus Obiakor is a professor in the Department of Exceptional Education at UWM. He is a nationally and internationally known scholar and consultant. His research interests include at-risk learners, African American learners/urban learners, and behavior management. René Antrop-González is an associate professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. He teaches bilingual education courses, and his research interests include studying minority high achievers and urban school reform. They spoke with Stephanie Lecci for our "Project Milwaukee: Barriers to Achievement in MPS" series.
Professor Heidi Schweizer discusses whether technology can be the answer to the achievement gap. Schweizer is an associate professor of education at Marquette University and Director of the Center for Electronic Learning there. She spoke with Mitch Teich about how she believes technology and virtual learning can play a key role in the future of urban education. Their conversation is part of our "Project Milwaukee: Barriers to Achievement in MPS" series.
School administration can have a real effect on how successfully teachers do their jobs, according to Dr. Ellen Eckman. Eckman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Policy and Leadership at Marquette University. Her research interests include the role of the principal, leadership in educational organizations, and women in the high school principalship. She spoke with Bonnie North as part of our "Project Milwaukee: Barriers to Achievement in MPS" series.
Project Milwaukee is underway this week on WUWM. We're examining the barriers that block some students in Milwaukee Public Schools from achieving at a higher level. Today, we report on the growing number of MPS children facing learning, behavioral and physical challenges. As Erin Toner reports, the district has been fighting a lawsuit that claims MPS has failed such students, while the district insists it is making progress.
This week on WUWM we're reporting on barriers to achievement in the Milwaukee Public Schools system. Thousands of students have been performing poorly on tests, and hundreds of teens drop out every year. As we've been highlighting in our series, children can have trouble learning for a number of reasons. One is that they may be surrounded by disruptive students. Troublemakers can cause distractions, at best. But in this installment of Project Milwaukee, Ann-Elise Henzl reports on one program helping restore order in classrooms.

text: Home Politics Obama Wins, Pigs Fly This is a day for reflection and wallowing in history, not mundane political prognostication. By: Jack White Posted: June 4 2008 12:00 AM 0 AFP/Getty Images Lawd, have mercy! They said pigs would fly, fish would whistle and lost souls would be shivering in hell before a major political party anointed a presidential standard bearer who is not only black but actually dances like one. Well, those wonders may not have occurred, but I've been sweeping up shards from the glass ceiling that Barack Obama broke through last night. As the Illinois senator proclaimed to a huge throng of supporters in St. Paul, Minn., "Tonight, we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another—a journey that will bring a new and better day to America. Because of you, tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee." Can I get a hallelujah? Can I get an amen? Can I get a splash of cold water thrown in my face? Now that I've got that out of my system, let's put Obama's triumph into perspective. For one thing, he must still reach an accommodation with Hillary Clinton, who may be trying to pressure him into choosing her as his running mate. Beyond that, he faces a tough battle against a formidable Republican foe in John McCain. But this is a day for reflection and wallowing in history, not mundane political prognostication. And, if we look back far enough, we can see that this day has been coming. For all its glass-ceiling-busting, stereotype-shattering, expectation-exceeding glory, Obama's nomination is the culmination of a series of black political breakthroughs that have occurred with almost metronomic regularity every 20 years since the 1960s. Without those earlier building blocks, Obama's astonishing achievement would be as unimaginable as those proverbial flying pigs. Start with what I call conception: the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, which made it possible for massive numbers of African Americans, especially in the South, to become full citizens. The result was a political revolution as thousands of blacks won elected offices everywhere from the backwaters in Alabama and Mississippi to the city halls in almost every big city in the nation and the halls of Congress. Those pioneering forays were followed a generation later by what might be called the quickening: Jesse Jackson's two runs for the presidency in 1984 and 1988. Jackson's campaigns awakened an urgent, new sense of political possibility among African Americans by registering hordes of new voters, encouraging a new generation of black candidates and concretizing blacks' demand for a share of the leadership of the Democratic Party, which had often seemed to take their unwavering support for granted. The system of proportional delegates that Obama so skillfully exploited this year was shaped by Jackson's demands. Now, after a 40-year-gestation period, we're on the brink of delivery. If Obama goes on to win the White House, America will have come a step closer to what an earlier politician from Illinois described as a "new birth of freedom," as a man who claims kinship with the descendents of both slaves and slave owners becomes the leader of all the people. This day has been coming, with an irresistible historical logic, since some long-forgotten bondsman first noticed the contradiction between his or her own condition and the stirring words of the Declaration of Independence. Since then, it has been our task to perfect our nation's democracy by holding up a mirror to America and contrasting what the country promised to what it delivered.

Victorio Campos and his wife, Eileen, bought their Rosedale home for its secluded location, scenic view of wetlands and array of wildlife, but now they say it is those very things that are causing problems, and they wish the city would take action to help.
In 2004, the road in front of 148-53 235 St. was covered with gravel, but after the mammoth snow storm that crippled the city at the end of December 2010, Campos said the Department of Sanitation plowed the street, leaving only a dirt road behind.
Campos said he asked the city workers not to plow the street, but to put down salt instead, explaining that the road was not paved, but they did not listen to him.
"I don't have a street," Campos said. "I have dirt. If you can just put crushed concrete from the recycling place or just gravel to alleviate water from sitting here, I don't have a problem with that. I can wait for it to be paved, just help me out with this situation with the dirt."
The unlevel land collects water when it rains, is dangerous to walk over and has become the site of illegal dumping, Campos said. The latest discarded debris consisted of broken bricks and concrete.
Campos also said he had to consistently argue with the DOS to get workers to pick up garbage from the trash cans in front of his house. He said they wanted him leave it at the end of the street. "I said, 'When I get a paycheck from the city, then I'll haul it to the corner,'" Campos recalled.
The area is bordered by the wetlands of Idlewild Park, but there is no barrier separating it from Camposes' property, allowing animals such as raccoons to make their way near their house and it's a summertime haven for insects.
"Our son suffered very bad mosquito bites last year," Eileen Campos said. "He's allergic, so it's very hard for him to come outside."
Donovan Richards, chief of staff to City Councilman James Sanders Jr. (D-Laurelton), said part of the problem is that the road is not a mapped city street and is adjacent to federally owned wetlands, with repairs requiring the approval of the state Department of Environmental Protection.
"So we have to go through legal red tape while this guy suffers," Richards said. "And he has been suffering for a long time."
Campos said when he contacted the city Department of Transportation, staffers told him it was a private street, but when he responded by telling them he was going to fence it off and treat it as part of his property, they said they would have to investigate further. "Then two days later they said it was a public street, so if it's a public street, then they should help me out," Campos said.
About two months ago there was a water main break. Eileen Campos said she woke up to find what appeared to be a steaming geyser in front of their house. A DEP repair crew fixed the problem, but left behind a four-foot deep hole that still hasn't been filled in, the Camposes said.
Mercedes Padilla, a spokeswoman for the DEP, said there is a $14 million joint project with the DOT set to begin in the area in 2016. It includes street reconstruction as well as the installation of new storm and sanitary sewers.
But that's not soon enough for Campos and Richards, as well as Bill Perkins, the president of the Rosedale Civic Association, who said the group will advocate on the family's behalf to try and get the project moved up.
"The city hasn't done what it needs to do," Perkins said. "He pays his taxes. He should have the same benefits of having a road and paved street like any other resident. The greater Rosedale population, we feel for this gentleman here."
