There are a number of new and modern hotels and aparthotels close to the Gran Via exhibition centre which you can find on the links below. But the Gran Via exhibition centre is quite close to the city centre by train or taxi, so you can also choose hotels in the centre of Barcelona.

If you are close to the Gran Via street, then you can take the L1 red metro line to Plaza Espanya and from the Plaza Espanya metro station you change on the same ticket to the FGC train to get to the FGC station Europa Fira which is the closest to the Gran Via exhibition area.

Barney Barney Barney, I didnt say only you were bringing this country down. Just people like you. People like you who have to bring in politics every time anything in this town happens. New store opens up and its not what you want to open here, "Damn liberals and there crazy ideas of growing this town". I am a veteran who served my country in the military, I was wounded and am proud to call myself a Veteran. But my story doesnt mean jack to you because I happen to think a little differently from you. Our country is slowly fading because instead of unity and coming together, people like you who refuse to compromise on your moral agenda are why we cant get anything done. I wish you could just work with the people here in San Angelo, liberals and conservatives alike. We could turn this town into something more than a dying West Texas town. Instead you are so negative with anything that is different from your opinion that you strike them down. No wonder why we cant have a simple dialogue. I promise I am not praising you or just picking on you, but you are a bully and you pick on people who think differently. My emotions are controlled as can be expected living in a town with SOOOO many people who want this town to stay small and narrow minded, but thats okay the future looks bright as our students learn how to use cognitive dissonance (you might want to look that word up because I assume you dont know what it means) You say I seem like a nice guy, well you dont treat me like a nice guy. You seem to me like my neighbor who complains about everything, waters their grass WAY too much and then complains about how you want the damn government out of YOUR medicare. Again its not just you that is the problem, its people who are narrow minded as you and who refuse to have conversations with anyone who thinks differently than you.
Thank you for serving our country.You have helped in preserving the freedom of speech.Your opinion of me is one of those rights that you fought for and are allowed to freely express.I think it's wonderful!

Calcium supplements: A risk factor for heart attack?

She is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, and received her medical degree from Northwestern University Medical School.

Calcium supplements: A risk factor for heart attack?
I've read that calcium supplements may increase the risk of heart attack. Is this true?
from Martha Grogan, M.D.
Some doctors think it's possible that taking calcium supplements may increase your risk of a heart attack. Other doctors believe that calcium supplements have little or no effect on your heart attack risk.
There's concern about calcium supplements and heart attack risk because many people take calcium supplements to treat or prevent bone diseases, such as osteoporosis. A recent study from the National Institutes of Health suggests there is an increased risk of heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular diseases from taking calcium supplements for men only. Other studies suggest there is an increased risk for both men and women.
It's thought that the calcium in supplements could make its way into fatty plaques in your arteries — a condition called atherosclerosis — causing those plaques to harden and increase your risk of heart disease.
More research is needed before doctors know the effect calcium supplements may have on your heart attack risk. The calcium supplements that some doctors are concerned about are those that contain only calcium — not supplements that combine calcium and vitamin D or multivitamin supplements. Calcium from food sources, such as dairy and green leafy vegetables, is not a concern.
Current recommendations regarding calcium supplements for people who have, or have risk factors for, osteoporosis haven't changed. As with any health issue, it's important to talk to your doctor to determine what's best in your case.

- " I went to Dublin with five friends for a weekend and we all really enjoyed our stay here! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and the rooms were pretty quiet due to the general gathering area being on the first floor. I can't speak for the breakfast because we all slept through it, but the location is perfect, only five minutes from Temple Bar, 15 minutes from the Guinness Storehouse, and in an area where I felt safe. Great hostel! Would definitely go back there again. "

- 19 Jun 2013 Laura USA
- " Friendly helpful staff. Stayed in family rooms on 2 occasion Young children in toe. 1st stay room was nice, big clean warm and appropriate for a family, desk chairs, room to hang clothes and keep luggage. 2nd stay week later was disappointing , room was much smaller, no desk 1 chair, very little room for belongings. Room was quiet cold, heater did not work, manger stated he would turn on, never came on. Shower door kept coming off hinges. Luckily we only stayed 2 nights on 2nd visit. "
- 14 Jun 2013 Margaret USA
- " We were here at the end of our trip and had some basis for comparison. The hostel was clean with friendly staff and clean linen. "
- 15 May 2013 Leslie USA
- " Great stay, personable and helpful staff, just be aware it is next door to a needle exchange... no safety issues, but probably not good for youngsters. "
- 04 Apr 2013 Anonymous USA
- " I do not recommend staying in the 16 person dorm. It is way too crowded and our room was a mess when we arrived. We had to wake up early for tours and being in a room with so many noisy people made it impossible to get enough sleep. There were only two showers and two toilets to be shared by the 16 person dorm and the 12 person dorm. The bathroom was way too small. Also, twice I reported the soap dispenser not working and it was never fixed meaning there was no soap to wash your hands for 5 days "

Orient manager Russell Slade saw his side beaten for the second time in Kent Pic: Simon O'Connor
By Trevor Davies, Leyton Orient correspondent
Sunday, July 29, 2012
Orient suffer another setback in Kent
Dartford 1 Leyton Orient 0
Orient boss Russell Slade was delighted with the progress his team had made following their training camp exercise in Leicestershire, but the gloss was taken off those productive four days when the O's slipped to a 1-0 friendly defeat at Dartford on Saturday.
"You have to ignore the results, because the only thing that's important is making sure we are prepared for the first game of the season," said the Orient boss.
However, after suffering a 1-0 defeat at Ebbsfleet a week earlier, the O's might consider giving non-league sides in Kent a swerve next season!
The O's have now won two and lost two of their pre-season friendlies as they prepare for their first competitive fixture in just over two weeks time when they travel to Championship side Charlton Athletic in the League Cup.
In a game where chances were few and far between a solitary strike from Danny Harris two minutes before the break was enough to settle this clash at Princes Park, when he cut in from the left and fired home into the bottom right-hand corner of Jamie Jones' net.
Despite the result, Slade will draw comfort from the fact that several players, Jones, Nathan Clarke, Gary Sawyer, Jimmy Smith and Dean Cox all played 90 minutes – while Scott Cuthbert played for an hour after missing the friendly against a Wolves XI.
Orient looked better after the break and striker Kevin Lisbie was denied by home keeper Louis Wells after Michael Symes set up the opportunity on 49 minutes.
Fit-again David Mooney also tested the keeper, while Cox was denied by Wells as Orient went in search of a leveller.
Orient: Jones; Odubajo (Ahmed Kashi 46), Clarke, Cuthbert (Ertl 61), Sawyer; Smith, Griffith (Laird 80), James (McSweeney 61), Cox; Lisbie (Brunt 61), Symes (Mooney 61). Subs: Lobjoit, Allsop.

My Third Star of the week Kevin Bieksa
Bieksa had a solid week with two assists against Colorado and generally good play against the Kings.
He got cut and bloodied up a bit, but he's a tough customer.
Bieksa has been solid all season, but there hasn't been a lot of really brilliant flashes. It might be nice for the Canucks to see a couple big plays from him to help swing games unexpectedly (ie the winning goal in game five against San Jose).
We are need a few flashes of brilliance from the defence this postseason, especially if Daniel is out for a while.

Alright, so I've been wanting to put something together of the sort involving supernatural occourances. There will be lots in the realm of supernatural beings, such as, but not limited to: ghosts, demons, hell beings, The Devil himself, vampires, werewolves etc.
The Premise is as follow: There is a detective agency of "hunters" that are asigned to cases dealing with the supernatural forces in the world. These are the things in which the normal human can not see with the naked eye. You guys will be playing these "hunters" from this agency. You all have a supernatural power, thus thats why you have been chosen by this agency. You have been chosen with utmost preciseness by the agency.
What the agency takes cases on: Hauntings, murders of supernatural doing, missing persons/items etc.
There is also the use of magic involved too. Dark and black magic, in which allows rituals to be performed of the gothic nature, as well as traditional magic thought of in fantasy style. This is like urban fantasy in its trueness. Think of the style of "The Dresden Files", "Dante Valentine", "Jill Kismet" etc, those type of ideas.
The setting: A city, much like New York City, if you will.
The case: a murder most foul, having been carried out by the minions of the devil. Then there is this ritual in which the devil wants the soul of the one he just had murdered.
The RP itself: It starts as my character sees the ritual by a minion of the devil and by using my supernatural magic, I am able to halt the ritual for the time being and as an odd added bonus somehow bring the victim back to life. Then in reporting back to the agency on this, a team is formed to investigate and stop the devil from taking the soul, while protecting the victim.
Thats pretty much what I'm going for here. Let me know what you think and if you're interested in joining up. Hope this sparks up some interest.

Abstract: The paper examines the representation of women in Raja Rao's Kanthapura, especially within the socio-political realms. This will be done in relation to Mahatma Gandhi's principle of Satyagraha. The paper surveys the role played by women in the Indian fight for independence against the British rule and attempts to establish whether their role is a heroic/ dominant or subaltern one. Are they heroines or victims of their own society, i.e. are they being used to sacrifice their 'physical and emotional needs' for the victory of men? Who gets the medal in the end.

Trent Semans Center holds first classes Jan. 2
posted September 18th, 2012The Trent Semans Center is located in the heart of Duke's transformed medical campus.
When Leonard White, Ph.D., convenes his School of Medicine course on brain and behavior on Jan. 2, he will do so in a new building designed around the innovative way in which he teaches Duke medical students.
The class will be the first one to meet in the new Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans Center for Health Education (TSCHE), a part of the dramatic transformation of the Duke medical campus. The striking new building was built to support School of Medicine's team-based learning model.
"There are still appropriate times and places for lectures in medical education, but we have been working hard to move into a pedagogy that reflects the real-life experiences of health care professionals," said White, associate professor and director of education for the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences. "The details that make the opening of the Trent Semans Center so exciting are its flexibility and its ability to support small teams of students thinking and learning together."
Construction is nearly complete on the six-story building adjacent to the Seeley G. Mudd Building and at the crossroads of the transformed medical campus. Its main entrance is just yards from the new Duke Cancer Center, the Duke Medicine Pavilion and Medical Center Library.
Each floor of the building is designed to bring together education spaces that are now spread throughout the medical campus.
"The Trent Semans Center is all about spaces – big spaces for large groups, medium spaces for labs and demonstrations, and small intimate niches for self-study," said Edward G. Buckley, M.D., vice dean of medical education.
The building is configured for adaptation. Walls move, furniture is portable and technology allows for communication for anywhere to anywhere. Most important, Buckley said, the building is readily accessible because it is at the very heart of the medical campus.
Before the TSCHE, the brain and behavior course met in an amphitheater in the lower level of Duke Clinic for lectures, in rooms on the fourth floor of the Davison Building for small group sessions and in the gross anatomy lab in the lower level of that building to examine brain specimens.
In January, 100 first-year medical students and about dozen grad students from other parts of the university taking the brain and behavior course will use team-based learning environments on the second and third floors of the TSCHE. They will work primarily in teams of six to seven students. Med students learn with their team throughout their first year.
The centerpiece of the second floor is a 140-seat amphitheater with unique, extra-wide stadium-style tiers. On the third floor, six reconfigurable, networked teaching labs can support 25 students each, or be combined into larger groups by retracting movable walls.
As student moves through their time at the school, they will learn and hone clinical skills in model clinical exam rooms and surgical simulation center on the fifth floor. Student life will be centered on the fourth floor, which will provide a bright, comfortable student lounge, lockers, and kitchenette. Advisory deans, who provide one-on-one academic counseling, have their offices on the floor.
On the ground level is the 400-seat great hall, which can be opened up to the adjoining atrium to accommodate even larger groups.
"Through the building's location, and its many configurable spaces, we can now achieve our aspiration to bring health professions learners together so that they can realize benefits from communicating and learning from each other," Buckley said. "The center hopefully will serve as a resource for med, physician assistant and physical therapy students, as well as alumni and faculty and other life-long learners."

1 800 Flowers - Undercover Boss Draws Wrong Conclusions
Rate this Column:
(4.4 Stars | 14 Votes)
The latest episode of Undercover Boss was for 1-800-Flowers. Jim McCann (founder and CEO) and Chris McCann (President and COO) are brothers and seem to treat each other in that older brother-younger brother dynamic. This episode takes us on a journey through flower shops and a candy factory.
Chris McCann's visit to the candy plant was the most revealing. I've watched contact centers try to copy manufacturing in the way they go about treating employees, using measures and increasing productivity. So let's use this as a learning opportunity.
The Productivity Goal
Chris McCann mentions that he wants to increase productivity in the plant from ten million pounds to 16 – 20 million pounds. Goals are set by management and the machines speed up. Contact centers are managed in much the same way by management coming up with targets for the number of calls taken in a day.
The whole idea of a prescription of how many calls a contact center should take, the allotted AHT per call, and the service level given are rooted in how contact centers can reduce costs. This prescription seems logical enough and most contact centers subscribe to this approach. The problem is that focusing on costs always increases costs.
This isn't a matter of making workers part of setting the productivity goal as Chris McCann concludes. This is a matter of understanding targets drive dysfunctional behavior.
It was in the early 1900s that Frederick Winslow Taylor started this path with his scientific management theory and separating each function of work with productivity targets and incentives. W. Edwards Deming taught the Japanese a better way and we have learned that to increase productivity in manufacturing economies of flow must be optimized, not scale.
In service, the variety of demand makes customer demand and flow even more important for contact centers. Instead of viewing all demand as something that needs to be done, contact centers have to understand that failure demand (demand caused by a failure to do something or do something right for a customer) needs to be reduced, not productivity increased.
Incentives Will Make Things Worse
Chris McCann concludes not only that the problem is that of workers being involved in setting goals, but decides incentives will make employees happier and more productive. None of these things are true.
Working together on understanding customer purpose and demand and getting rid of systemic failure demand should be the appropriate response. New measures emerge that are associated with what customers want from service as these drive the lagging financial and productivity measures up.
Chris McCann should take a couple of steps back and design a system that works for the customer and workers. This requires different thinking about the design and management of work.
For contact centers there are better ways to manage than trying to copy manufacturing (never a good idea to copy), especially old and worn-out concepts that don't work very well.
* = required.
How can anyone even think that agent incentives don't work? Incentives in themselves don't make the perfect work environment, but they certainly help raise motivation and morale. Knowing that the company is at least trying to make the agent's work shift more bearable makes the agent think the company recognizes that the job of an agent can be gruesome at times....being cussed at by rude uneducated people, routine tasks, hung up on, is some days simple too much to handle. Stress builds, headaches and body aches ensue as the respondents continue to receive rude comments, hang ups, etc. Having some support, little company logo trinkets, cash bonuses based on performance, competitions between groups, candies, etc have all produced higher morale from my experience as both a sales and customer service agent while working 1-800-Flowers at Datascension and working as Client Services Manager at Orbis Global Solutions for other accounts. I was able to be on both sides and with all due respect do not agree that incentives do not work. Now....if a higher wage was offered that would be much better than an incentive, but of course that is not always possible.
i know it is altruistic but every call is a sales call. If all, from top down would recognize this then call centers would not be a cost center. Although more often then not a call is made in anticipation of a resolution of some sort even if it is just the satisfaction of being heard, regardless if the paradigm can be shifted to, every call is an opportunity rather than a potential cost and train it consistently to those on the front line, you would see a drastic change in dollars!
I know I know, I love living in my delusional world!
I agree with some of what each of you have had to say but the three big hits are - if the caller is calling because they want to place an order, not calling because we did something wrong the are generating revenue not costing us money. If they are calling for resolution then the tracking systems should be in place to identify the key down falls of the ordering and delivery processes that have generated the call. But your question of why the decision makers fail to see the errors of their ways is because it is their jobs to focus on payback to the shareholder thus the bottom line not relationships. If you want to sway the decision makers you have to define how the relationship downfalls relate to the bottom line in a metric that shows where the bottom line will increase without antedotal information - hard numbers and trust me decision makers will follow the dollars.

Tripp we created a metric to monetize customer time for exactly the reasons you've stated - it's the missing value in management's decision equation. The book, Customer Why and How Everyone in Your Organization Must Think Like a Customer details the metric and the framework for companies to use it to offset customer-blind and deaf internal metrics. It also addresses employees as internal customers and mutual stakeholders which speaks to your productivity and incentive compensation argument. A very large percentage of employees empathize with the customer metric and view work differently using customer as a performance lens.
Jremach - you will see the connection to Taylor, Byrum and Reichheld and restructuring work, processes, metrics and compensation
Michael R Hoffman
Mr. Babbitt - good thoughts, good recommendations but not convincing for a very simple reason: You put "end-to-end" and "systems thinking" in the title of your article. And we all know what happens when "leadership" hears these words: their eyes roll into the back of their heads, they start panting, go into a fetal position, suck their thumbs and think that their brains will explode.
The same applies to the true assessment of the cost of running a service desk/contact center - end to end, with all supporting assets and systems being maintained and amortized - not just labor and transactions. Yet, we focus on simple "productivity" metrics ($/call, FCR, AHT, etc.) and locally optimize the service.
But the real issue is a philosophic one: Be it manufacturing or service delivery, we insist on considering the relationship between the parties as an adversarial one: YOU are costing ME money when you call! rather than what can be a better model "YOU are calling ME because I FAILED you.
The philosophical divide is further compounded by our inability to convince our management/executives/leadership of the error of their ways. Why is it that studies, metrics, analyses fail to move the decision makers? Why is it that progressive practitioners of CRM and call center operators suffer instantenous amnesia and turn to "stubborn bozos" when they get promoted to leadership positions?
Just wondering...
Tripp this is so on target. This was recenly covered at a Frost & Sullivan Executive MindXchange (session notes: http://bit.ly/afVdUT). There is also a great book on this titled,"The Recovery and Sustaining of the Human Element in Modern Organizations" By: C. Stephen Byrum, Ph.D. In this book he covers constructing a better way using the work of Fredrick Taylor and Robert Hartman. It is very insightful and thought provoking. Bottom line, the McCann brothers need to read it and so do Call Center leaders.

Hi there,
I have been experimenting with access speeds with regards OPL 0.6 using a variety of storage media and I would like to know of the optimum speeds OPL 0.6 can read UDBAdvance ul* format data.
From my tests the quickest has been, in order:
(1) 8GB USB Key
(2) External 320GB UDB HD
(3) Wireless LAN Network Access
Can anyone supply details with regards to wired LAN and HDD (Using FAT PS2) speed and how they relate to the above.
Indeed, does OPL 0.6 read *ul data as quick as it can be supplied. i.e. I imagine a fast HDD inserted into a FAT PS2 will be quicker at loading games and running FMV, with no stuttering at all - even speeding up the game by minimizing segmented loading of menu screens, map screen etc, than running from a Wireless LAN?

About Me Budget Buyer
Comments about Fast Healing Cream:
I put the cream on my face, legs and thighs to clear up skin problems. The cream faded many of the spots and discolorations that I had. It went on easy and wasn't greasy. I put it on at night and during the day. My skin texture and balance improved greatly over a few weeks that I used it.
I love this product for it's healing.

Change isn't just a slogan for Gary Petill, director of food and nutrition services at 132,000-student San Diego Unified School District. After 23 years in the hotel industry, Petill joined SDUSD in 2002, and since then he has made significant changes. He created new programs at both the elementary and high school levels, started a breakfast in the classroom component and plans to eliminate all processed foods during the next three years.
"I was able to focus on a whole different challenge, which was how do you change school food," Petill says about his move into the non-commercial industry. "I knew nothing about school foodservice, which I'm glad I didn't. I think a lot of times when people know too much about the way school food is, it's more difficult for them to change. I don't look at the negative. I look at 'how do we get there.' I need a solution. I don't need to know why it won't work."
This can-do attitude isn't lost on Petill's colleagues.
"He's just unstoppable," says Joanne Tucker, foodservice marketing coordinator. "He doesn't let things get him down or stop him from trying. It's always about finding solutions."
Drew Rolands, executive director of auxiliary services, says, "His strongest attribute is he's such a likeable guy. He's always positive. He's trying really hard to be the leader of our own food revolution here."
Kid's Choice Café: That food revolution started in the elementary schools. "I was shocked when I first came to school foodservice," Petill says. "Everybody got the same entrée. All the side dishes were just ladled on the plate. The attitude was really hard for me to understand coming out of a customer service industry. It was almost the 'here it is kid, take it or leave it' attitude. It wasn't that the people were negative; it was just the way school food was being handled at the time. It's not just here. It's in a lot of places."
Petill says the cafeterias were barren and unattractive and that the students were not excited about the foodservice program. The first step in the renovation was putting salad bars in each of the 132 elementary schools. Petill strives to put as much fresh produce on the salad bars as possible, but he supplements the fresh with canned fruits and vegetables to save on costs.
A marketing program was also developed. The elementary meal program was named the Kid's Choice Café and a logo with the tag line "It's cool to eat at school" was created. Each school has life-size graphics of fruits and vegetables and the school's mascot to brighten the cafeteria.
After the marketing program and salad bars were introduced, Petill added choices and switched to self-service. Instead of only one daily entrée, students now have four selections, including a vegetarian option.
"Our participation increased 160%," Petill says. "We had a lot of pushback from principals, teachers and parents. They thought there was no way the children would be able to get through the lunch lines to pick an entrée, make their own salad, sit down, eat and make it back to class on time. It's amazing what young children can do if you show them the way."
Petill not only wanted to increase lunch participation but breakfast participation as well. In 2006, a breakfast in the classroom program was piloted in one elementary school. Now there are 47 elementary schools that offer the program. "We were at 27% breakfast participation prior to starting breakfast in the classroom," Petill says. "Now in those schools with the program, participation is at 97%. We are feeding 27,000 children a day with the program."
Meeting customer expectations: After the success of the Kid's Choice Café, Petill focused on the high schools. "Our elementary programs were more than 85% in participation, but when you got to the high schools we were somewhere near 30%," Petill says. "You're talking about one out of every three kids eating with you, so what are the other kids doing? Are they bringing food? Are they not eating at all? Are they sharing a bag of potato chips from somewhere? Our concern was that we were not only not reaching them but also that we weren't giving the kids what they wanted."
Because of these concerns, the department formed focus groups with high school students to find out what they were looking for in a school foodservice program. From that information new products were developed.
At the high schools many students would purchase à la carte items instead of the reimbursable meal. Petill says the primary reasons for this were because there was a stigma attached to purchasing a school meal and the students were more interested in socializing with friends during the lunch period.
"One of the worst things I've seen in school foodservice is that you have to go to the cafeteria," Petill says. "It's got that stigma of who wants to go to the cafeteria because it isn't any fun and it's a place where kids used to go who were poor." The district's free and reduced percentage is around 60%, and Petill says that the perception among students was the only ones purchasing a complete reimbursable meal were the students who qualified for free or reduced-price lunches. Because of this perception, Petill says many students did not participate in the school meal program.
To counteract this stigma, Petill knew he had to make the program fun. The first step was to create a brand. Petill asked high school graphics classes to help develop a name and logo for the new program. They came up with the SanDi Coast Café. Under the brand, there are six concepts: SanDi Fresh Bistro (sandwiches and salads), Wok n' Bowl (Asian entrées like teriyaki chicken), Riga Tony's (Italian favorites like pizza and ravioli), Baja Beach (Southwestern cuisine), Surf Side Classics (hamburgers and Buffalo chicken sandwiches) and Hi-Tide Grill (grilled chicken sandwiches and chicken fajitas).
A new menu was only the beginning of the SanDi Coast program. The real draw, according to Petill, was bringing food to the students. After receiving money from a city bond, the department built carts. At each high school there are about 12 carts, each with two points of service, scattered around campus. "The kids have 30 minutes for lunch and 90% of that time they want to spend socializing," Petill says. "Food was always a back burner if we couldn't make the program fun and exciting, and that's what we've done with the carts. You have to have a draw besides the food because it has to be a place where they want to go hang out."
All meals from the carts are reimbursable; most à la carte items have been eliminated. "We put the meals in black bowls," Petill says. "We try to emulate what they are seeing in malls. The kids told us that they like the bowls because they can socialize when they are holding the bowl. When you give them a tray they have to go and sit down somewhere to eat."
Petill says students still eat in the cafeterias because there is a salad bar in every cafeteria. Since starting the SanDi Coast Café program last fall, sales have quadrupled. "At the first board meeting in September, they always have a couple of students from the high schools," Petill says. "The board asks them, how was your first week of school. It was amazing that they said the food is just unbelievably better. Never before had the board or superintendent heard students talk about eating school lunch instead of curriculum or athletics."
"We've only scratched the surface of the food," Petill says. "I've got a chef who is helping us make the menu fresher and better." The next step is to replace the carts with kiosks. The kiosks will be mini buildings where students can go through lines and select meals for purchase.
Challenging the norm: "I've been frustrated by how long it takes to make changes," Petill says. "Part of that is bureaucracy and getting approvals. We get $4 million a year from the USDA to spend on commodity products. That is a lot of relief for us. The question becomes, what are those products we are being offered and are they the healthy products? A lot of them are, but some of them aren't. I want fresh fruits and vegetables, not canned, and from local farmers. I'm not condemning the USDA; I just want to see change. In order for change to happen, all of the stakeholders involved have to change."
Another change Petill would like to see is an increase in the income eligibility for military families to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Petill and U.S. Rep. Susan Davis are working on a bill to be introduced to the U.S. House that would accomplish that.
Rowlands from auxiliary services sums Petill up this way: "Gary is always looking at what's the next big thing and how we can keep that success growing and rolling. He is so engaging, so dedicated and so outgoing. He's always looking out for what's best for the kids."

Myself, I find I like a mixture of both old and new. 60'a & 70's rock. 80's pop. 90's alternative. I think there are plenty of promising musical talents today, as well (not going to put names out because the opinions on modern music are rather polarized). Then again, I tend to have rather eclectic tastes in music.Agreed, but on that note, they should have mandated modern rock education classes for people over the age of 40 at the local rec center.

The annual work trip as leadership development
Sunday morning, June 9, dawned brightly as 26 youth and seven adults loaded up for a week's work trip to Salyersville, KT, the site of a massive tornado in 2012.
While on-site, the crew built many porches and ramps from scratch for families, including older couples, who have been unable to afford or complete projects to clean up after the disaster.
I noticed, even as a brand new staff person, how quickly youth from Lyons Township High School, Riverside Brookfield High School and Argo Community High School became a unified team with plenty of good energy and a spirit of collaboration.
