More beds available for New Orleans' homeless
Updated On: Nov 17 2012 10:46:11 PM CST
Dozens of people living underneath the Pontchartrain Expressway have a warm place to lay their heads as a result of the city's latest effort to find a solution for homelessness.
"Nobody chooses to be homeless," said Stacy Horn-Koch, director of Neighborhood Services, Facilities and Homeless Policy for the city of New Orleans. "For the most part, no individual would say, 'Gee, wake up one morning and say, "Gee, I want to go live under a bridge.'"
Horn-Koch said 70 extra shelter beds were brought online to offer people under the bridge a safe place to sleep, away from unsanitary conditions. She said from February 2011 to February 2012, the city has seen its homeless rate decline by 20 percent.
"The reason that we need to get people out of abandoned buildings and out from underneath the expressway is so that we can connect them with the services that they need in order to exit homelessness," Horn-Koch said.
Before now, there was no room at the Ozanam Inn, which housed 96 people a night. It's now taking in an additional 40.
"We're bursting at the seams," said Clarence Adams, Ozanam Inn administrator. We've taken in the maximum number we can support."
Adams said the number of disabled homeless in New Orleans is above the national average, and with no extra funding, his staff is stretched thin.
"We have the cots set up," he said. "The beds were already full. When we're serving the meal, we can clean up downstairs. Then we have to go in and get staff to set up cots."
In addition to the New Orleans Mission and the Ozanam Inn, Exodus House and the Salvation Army are also taking in more homeless people.

Question & Answers
Town personal train
Will it be possible to pick up visitors from different friends in neighbourhood in your personal train. Currently one can pick up visitors from a single friend only. I have grocery n diner free but none of the friends have visitors waiting with both requirements in one town but one friend had a visitor with grocery service n other friend has a diner requirement visitor.
Answer from: Farmagedon
One person in my clan says she did a double pick up but can't remember his she managed to do it. I don't think it's possible, but it should be. My personal train has 3 capacity so I have to hunt carefully through neighbourhood or clan and friends to find someone and then remember not to pick up from anyone at a higher level than me or the passenger may ask for something a dozen levels higher that I can't make yet.
Answer from: HayDayCrazy
Yes, you can upgrade your train to pick up more visitors. You just need to press on the train, the click upgrade. If you have the necessary bars of metal then you will be able to upgrade.
Answer from: Granny
I worked hard to get my personal train up to 7 visitors. But I have never been able to find more than 3 available. They so need to change that!

Associate professor of English and
Brian Norman '99,
Major: French, Women's studies, environmental studies, English minor
"In my classes, I aim to train students in the art of careful thought and attentive reading so that they can ask big questions of the world and be equipped to pursue them, be it about a pressing political issue of the day or an enduring question of what it means to be human. And to know that such big questions have been asked before, if we know where to look. The biggest reward in my teaching is that moment when a student pauses mid thought and returns to her book to think anew about a difficult topic of discussion.
"The humanities trained me to value both clear principles (justice, dignity, etc.) and the ambiguities of human experience. Now I try to create in my own classrooms the conditions for creating scholar-citizens who are capable of both sharp thought and analytical complexity. And of course writing: my English classes in particular taught me the value of the written word in all its wonder and power. It's taken me a while, but with each new project—be it a scholarly book on American literature, an op-ed on religious pluralism, or a family letter about marrying my husband—I get a bit better at capturing big, messy ideas in clear writing."

The Simpsons - The Simpsons Bosses To Kill Off Major Character
Picture: Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart Simpson) at the Simpsons Treehouse Of Terror and 20th anniversary party held at the Barker hangar in Santa Monica...
A major character in hit U.S. animated comedy The Simpsons is to be killed off to mark the show's 25th year.
The cartoon, which launched in 1989, began its 25th season on Sunday (29Sep13) and producers have teased fans by revealing a main character will meet with a tragic end.
The writers have refused to identify which big-name role will be axed, but executive producer Al Jean tells Sunnewsnetwork.ca, "I'll give you a clue that the actor playing the character won an Emmy for playing that character, but I won't say who it is."
Guest stars appearing in the new season include Hollywood stars Zach Galifianakis, Elisabeth Moss, and Kristen Wiig, and bosses also have a big treat in store for viewers - the final episode will be a cross-over with fellow cartoon Futurama.

A super hot and energetic hip hop/rap style instrumental from a Latin Grammy nominated producer. Fast paced and full of energy, works great in so many situations. For films/movies, on a driving scene, a car chase, robbing a back, an urban comedy, a gang war, a frat college party and so much more. If you need an edgy, hip track to market your new business, product or corporate venture, this is the song for you if you need to cater to a 20-30 year old demographic.

Following up on a story reported a couple of days ago, UnitedHealth Group has agreed to pay $350 Million to settle a billing dispute related to out of network claims. In addition, UnitedHealth pledged $50 Million and Aetna $20 Million to create a new database to determine our of network claims payment. The previous database that was used was operated by Ingenix, a UnitedHealth subsidiary which was at the center of the dispute.
The Ingenix database, contained claims payment data that is contributed by health insurance companies. The data is then used to set "usual and customary" charges for certain procedures, when members receive care outside of their network.
The lawsuit alleged that health insurance companies lowered the payment data when adding to the database, which allowed them to lower payments for future claims. The patient would then be billed the difference.
An investigation by the New York Attorney General's Office found that health insurers had underpaid by 10-28% as a result of the inaccurate data in the database.

I don't know how I'm going to top yesterday. What a great start to my weekend! I met a friend for coffee, and the barista at Starbucks commented on how good I looked and how much weight I must have lost. And THEN I went to the gym for some swimming and a sports conditioning class. When the class was over, the instructor told me "you are awesome at this class." (It's kind of P90X-ish - agility drills, medicine ball stuff, it's really tough!)
And now today I am headed out for a group run. I bought some new runners on Sunday, and one of the girls from the local running club fitted me. She commented about how I should come out for a run on Saturday - there are tons of people and all different paces. So here I go! We got a little snow last night, and it looks beautiful. As long as the wind holds off (which I think it will), I will be just fine all bundled up.
- drink lots of water
- track all my food
- school work
- finish my resume and cover letter to send out to a potential employer (keep your fingers crossed!)
Yesterday I was RAVENOUS. Not just a little bit, but a lot. And I ate a lot. I'm not sweating it too much - it was one day and I'm back on track today, but still. I definitely notice it, though... today I feel a little more poochy than I did yesterday.
I am subbing today, and then I'm headed to the gym for some upper body stuff. I want to give my strength training the same love as I'm giving my running. And my running is coming along really well. Yesterday I did 7 miles and it felt so good. I took along an orange Hammer Gel and had it about one hour in. It definitely did the trick. I made it to my mileage, no problem. I felt as if I could have kept going, but I am really making an effort to be smart about my training and not overdoing it. I don't have a Garmin (yet - when I hit 50 miles this month I'm treating myself), but my pace was pretty consistent. I use Map My Run, and it showed that my miles were all within about 20 seconds. Not too bad for going by feel alone!
- drink all my water
- keep my eating in check - I honestly think yesterday was my body not knowing what to do with itself because it just ran 7 miles. I think the plan for the next long run is to eat more food, sooner after I'm done. I didn't have very much after my run yesterday, and I think that had something to do with my eating spree.
- work hard at the gym! I don't like to waste my time when I'm there.
There's a little bit of excitement around here! Someone is interested in renting out our house! On Wednesday night we had someone come look at it with the realtor. Yesterday they called with a couple questions, and the realtor told us that they'd be filing out an application! I am SOOOO excited. I wasn't sure how I was going to react - I was getting nervous about all kinds of stuff - could we afford to move? How was school going to work out? All kinds of stuff. But I felt nothing but excitement when I heard that someone was interested!
So now the waiting begins. I REALLY hope it all works out - the application comes back OK, they are decent people, all that.
Classes are going well. I have been running regularly down at my mom's house, and every day my eating seems to be improving. I've been taking food along with me so I don't have to go out to eat every meal, and it's working out!
My half marathon training is going really well, too! My longest run so far has been six miles, and it was a really good run. Everything felt good! While I know I have to work on my long run nutrition a little bit, I feel more confident every day that I am going to do great on my first half. Yay!
- lots and lots of water
- swim and upper body if I can get out of the snowy driveway, which i think will be fine later this afternoon
- schoolwork (lots of reading)
- try not to get myself too crazy about the potential renters
I feel like a little kid - I'm waiting to hear if there is a snow day tomorrow! But I'm excited for it in a different way as an adult - it means I get to spend a long morning at the gym working out instead of going in to sub. Ha!
Today's eating was not all that great. I felt SOOOO hungry today. Perhaps I need to take another look at how many calories I'm eating a day. My brother and I went out for lunch - I had chicken and waffles (MMM) and chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. The cake was really good, the icing was only so-so.
I did manage to get in a 2.5 mile run and another 2.5 miles walking the dog this afternoon. I tried some new eating today - on the way down to my mom's house, I stopped for a bagel. It was over an hour until I was going to run, so I thought I'd be ok. Well, 2.5 miles in, I was *not* ok. It's funny how my stomach seems to be getting more sensitive the more I run... maybe it just likes its routine. But anyway, it was only supposed to be a 3 mile run, so I wasn't *too* bummed about having to cut it short.
I think I will treat myself to a hot bath tonight. I was out in the cold A LOT today, and I just have this chill I can't get rid of. Snow day waffle and a little Maury tomorrow...? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Looks like I'll have to sleep with my pajamas inside out tonight.
I am having a skinny day today. The scale was kind to me (although, I have to admit, it wasn't really a surprise as I've been working out like crazy and doing really well with tracking my food), my outfit makes me look very small, and even my ankles look good. Ha!
I ran six miles yesterday. It was freezing outside, the clouds didn't open up AT ALL, but I felt great! I took it easy - I listened to my body, paid attention to my breathing, slowed down when I felt I was pushing too hard... yesterday's run really made me feel like I'm going to be able to run this half marathon in May!
Running in the cold sucks. But it's really making me look forward to spring. I think for the last few years I've just been taking spring running for granted. But not this year. I've stepped up my running, getting out there in all kinds of crazy weather, and so spring is going to be extra-glorious for me this year. I can't WAIT until the first day I can wear a running skirt, sleeveless top and my arm warmers!
- drink lots of water. This winter has been extra-hard on my skin, so I need to get some hydration back.
- cross train and strength train at the gym. I'm planning on some swimming and some whole-body circuit type stuff.
- read my school law assignment. I have SO MUCH reading to do this semester. I guess that's what happens as a full time graduate student. I do NOT want to fall behind. Luckily, I love to read non-fiction and research articles. Yes, I am an education nerd.

John Carver - Napoleon Hill - Instant Motivator
in Self Help
Napoleon Hill (1883-1970) was born in a one-room cabin on the Pound River in Wise County, Virginia. He began his writing career at age 13 as a "mountain reporter" for small town newspapers and went on to become America's most beloved motivational author. His classic work, Think and Grow Rich, continues to inspire millions to believe and achieve and is a cornerstone of the modern self-actualization movement. Before passing, Hill established the Foundation as a nonprofit educational institution whose mission is to perpetuate his philosophy of leadership, self-motivation, and individual achievement.
Think and Grow Rich is the number one inspirational classic for individuals who are interested in furthering their lives and reaching their goals by learning from important figures in history. The text read in this audio book is the original 1937 edition written by Napoleon Hill, and while it has often been reproduced, no updated version has ever been able to compete with the original. It has been used as a roadmap to achievement by countless individuals.
The 13 Steps to Riches offers the shortest dependable philosophy of individual achievement ever presented for the benefit of anyone who is searching for a definite goal in life.
Hill interviewed 504 people, including Ford, Wrigley, Wanamaker, Eastman, Rockefeller, Edison, Woolworth, Darrow, Burbank, Morgan, Firestone, and three United States Presidents. The process of conducting these interviews required an investment of 20 years of Napoleon Hill's life.

Comprehensive Counseling Guidance--The Psychiatric State Enters Common Core
in News
The Common Core Standards Initiative has inspired A Unified Learning Supports to ensure Common Core is learned well so that kids will be College and Career Ready. In this Unified Learning Supports is a Comprehensive Counseling Guidance proposed by Alabama Sup Tommy Bice (maybe tweaked in Dec worksession and voted in Jan by SBOE).

"All students will receive a data-driven counseling program that promotes academic achievement, career readiness, and personal/social development", which includes their "attitudes, character, values and beliefs."
It is "aligned with ASCA National Model and its revisions and includes four interrelated components: foundation, delivery system, management system, and accountability."
The "ASCA National Model: A Framework for School Counseling Programs, and three revisions promulgate national school counseling standards."
It "helps students achieve their full potential through four program delivery components: School Guidance Curriculum, Individual Student Planning, Responsive Services, and Indirect Services." read more

Jampol Artist Management to Oversee Estate of Late Hip-Hop Icon Tupac Shakur
Jampol Artist Management, Inc. (JAM) is pleased to announce that it has completed an agreement to manage the Estate of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur,overseeing Tupac's music, film, name and likeness, apparel, licensing and other ventures in all media, worldwide.
Loma Vista Recordings Founder & Chairman Tom Whalley, who discovered and signed Tupac to his first record deal, will be working alongside JAM Inc. on all music projects. Given his long relationship with Tupac and Afeni Shakur - Tupac's mother, the head of his estate and founder of The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation - Tom is uniquely qualified to help preserve the artistic legacy and musical vision of Tupac.
"Tupac was a legend in life and will be an icon forever," says JAM CEO Jeff Jampol, who also represents The Doors and the estates of Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Otis Redding, Rick James, Peter Tosh, Henry Mancini and other artists, and consults the Estate of Michael Jackson. "It's our responsibility - and our privilege - to ensure that new generations of fans experience the power of Tupac's music, his ideas and his storytelling."
"I believe it is our responsibility to make sure that Tupac's entire body of work is made available for his fans," says Afeni Shakur. "My son left many incomplete pieces and even more unfinished ideas. Using the blueprints he gave us, I am committed to fulfilling this duty. Tom [Whalley] and I are very pleased to have Jeff Jampol as the manager of Tupac's estate. I know that Jeff and his staff have a deep respect for my son's work - and will find innovative ways to continue to keep his music, his message, and his legacy alive."
From Tupac's unapologetic debut on the world stage with 1991's 2Pacalypse Now until his murder in 1996, he dominated the pop-cultural landscape, bringing a host of characters into his narratives, and defying the stereotypes and assumptions of adversaries and admirers alike.
His numerous #1 singles, including "Dear Mama" - one of only three hip-hop songs ever selected by The Library of Congress for induction into its National Recording Registry - "Keep Ya Head Up," "I Get Around" and "Changes," spiked at multiple radio formats; his albums flew off shelves; and his performances brought rap fans and rock kids together. And while dominating the music scene, he showed still more facets of his soulful creativity with a string of powerful film performances in such features as Juice, Poetic Justice, Above the Rim and Gridlock'd.
Tupac's influence has only grown since his untimely departure. Multiple posthumous releases have achieved #1 status, and he has sold close to 100 million records worldwide; his 1998 Greatest Hits collection received a Diamond certification (signifying more than 10 million sold) in 2011.
His life, art and impact have been discussed by academics, taught in schools around the world, and were the basis for a 2003 Harvard University symposium. The Atlanta University Center at the Robert W. Woodruff Library recently held the first Tupac Amaru Shakur Collection Conference on Hip Hop, Education And Expanding the Archival Imagination. In 2012 Tupac even returned to the concert stage-in hologram form-to electrify audiences at the Coachella Music Festival.

Between rising airfares, the London 2012 Olympics, riots in Greece and economic uncertainty on both sides of the Atlantic, one would expect travel to Europe to be challenged on the eve of the busy summer season, and yet land-based bookings to European destinations have remained remarkably resilient. "We're seeing that Europe this year is actually rebounding really well," said Albert Herrera, vice president for hotels, destinations and tours at Virtuoso. Indeed, Virtuoso member Peter Herff, vice president of San Antonio-based Herff Travel, said that despite all the perceived setbacks across the Continent, "the romance and the mystique of Europe still outweigh just about everything else." Europe bookings, which make up about 75% of Herff's business, have stayed "fairly consistent" year-over-year. Rudi Steele, president of Dallas-based Rudi Steele Travel, is seeing even stronger numbers to Europe, saying that a "conservative" estimate is that his agency is seeing 30% more bookings in 2012 than it saw last year, "and last year was our best year since 1957." Steele added: "We have not had any slowdown. We're already struggling getting the right space for people at certain hotels." Airfare scare
While retailers and operators have reported anywhere between flat bookings and 30% growth in Europe for this year compared with the same period last year, the one wild card for everyone has been and remains airfare. Airline industry analyst Bob Mann of R.W. Mann & Co. attributed much of the rise in airfares to a curbing of competition among airlines. "Starting last summer, we started to see the impact of the majority of transatlantic traffic being under antitrust immunity agreements," Mann said. "At that point, we saw the first four-digit airfares in a long time." Industry consolidation has enabled the airlines "to collaborate both on the amount of capacity they offer and the pricing," Mann said in explaining increased pressure on transatlantic airfares. "The other factor, of course, is fuel," he said. Vaughn Cordle of Washington-based AirlineForecasts estimated that fuel costs this year will rise 12%, which, he says, means that fares need to go up 3% just to cover the increase. He added that while the fare increase this year won't be as high as it was last year or the year before, it will continue to inch upward. "The industry has a fuel problem," Cordle said. And because of that, he added, the airlines "need to raise fares. ... That's the only way they can maintain a constant load factor to keep the economics from deteriorating." To help clients overcome the airfare sticker shock, tour operators and packagers have had to roll out air-inclusive deals just to close the sale. "Our air sales are off the charts, which is quite frankly something that we don't particularly want," said Trafalgar President Paul Wiseman, who added that the operator's current air-inclusive promotion is costing it a lot of money. "Air is a completely nonprofit loss, financially subsidized, but we have to do it," Wiseman said. "We're not getting any comment about tour pricing. The issue is high airfares." Tauck, too, has noted customers' frustration with airfares in booking Europe travel for 2012. Consequently, the operator introduced an air-inclusive offer for 2012 bookings made through the end of February that offered a refundable airfare with no hidden taxes or fees. Tauck Vice President Jeremy Palmer pointed out, "For the major coastal destinations in the U.S. to the major transfer points in Europe, it seems that economy [fares are] up anywhere between $300 and $500 over last year. If you're going to Italy, you're looking at $1,300 at the peak time. That's a fair amount of money. ... For some people, that can be a go/no-go." According to airfare analysts, the capacity crunch on transatlantic flights makes the likelihood of any last-minute air deals to Europe zero to none. "Historically, before the industry consolidated, before it had such strong capacity discipline, what you saw was [airlines] tried to raise prices, and in some cases they were successful," Mann said. "But in the end, they ran around with empty airplanes. That was 2008 and 2009. Since then, the industry has pulled down a lot of capacity, consolidated heavily, and load factors are at historic highs. So you literally just don't have the last-minute wholesaling of empty planes." Hard times for Britain, Greece Not least of the other hurdles Europe faces this year is the hubbub surrounding the London 2012 Summer Olympics and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. "If there's a soft point for our clients, it's probably London," Herff said. "They're trying to stay away from the crowds associated with the [Queen's] jubilee and then you've also got the Olympics. ... I see a little bit of pushback on London as a beginning point for our clients." But Herff noted that travelers are definitely "not skipping Europe because of London." "That's always the case with any Olympic destination," Virtuoso's Herrera said, alluding to the likelihood that travelers would try to find ways to avoid London this summer. But he advised that while that's the perception, people can take advantage of relatively slower, quieter periods for booking just before and after the games. Wiseman, too, noted that Trafalgar is seeing a slowdown to Britain around the Olympics, which is something the company had anticipated. But not everyone is feeling the Olympics effect. Airline vacation brand packager MLT Vacations reported that demand for London travel around the time of the Olympics is strong. Travel companies were more consistent in reporting a slowdown in bookings to Greece amid riots and protests as the government implements unpopular austerity measures. "Greece has been hardest hit by the crisis, and we have found that our customers are moving away from mainland Greece to focus instead on the islands," reported Dan Bergquist, G Adventures' product and contracting manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Nikos Tsakanikas, president of Homeric Tours, said the big issue for tourists was not political or economic problems but the potential for violent protests. "In general, the economic crisis that is existing now in Greece and all these things, the austerity programs, they don't have an impact on tourists," Tsakanikas said. "The only thing that does is when they have demonstrations, people see them on TV, and they say, 'We can go another time.' Did we have some cancellations because of that? Yes, we did." Even so, Tsakanikas said Homeric Tours was doing "very good; not excellent, but good." As for the rest of the euro zone, operators report strong bookings for countries and regions perceived as having weaker economies and potentially lower prices, such as Italy, Spain, Portugal and Central and Eastern Europe. The euro itself, recently hovering at $1.33, is basically a nonissue for travel to Europe, according to Herrera. "It's something that we Americans have gotten used to, so it's no longer a deterrent," he said. "It's the cost of doing business. It's the cost of a vacation."

What Makes HDS Medallion Bags Unique?
When purchasing an HDS Medallion® bag you're getting the most stylish and practical bag for mobility devices that's available. Here's a recap of why our bags stand out among the rest:
- The clever and one-of-a-kind design of the Attachment System in the Premier, Demi-Premier and Metro collections features quality, metal hardware. While we're flattered that other companies have started to introduce similar concept, it's important to note that these solutions all use plastic clips rather than metal snap hooks and metal D rings. HDS Medallion hardware comes in brass, nickel and brass with a black coating and is made in Connecticut as opposed to overseas.
- Quality Materials Each bag is made with premier cotton (except for waterproof bags that are constructed and lined in waterproof laminated cotton) or top quality twill or denim. Non HDS Medallion bags tend to use nylon or another thin fabric to line their bags while HDS Medallion uses premier cotton of the same caliber as the outside fabric. A high quality lining inside the bag helps protect and preserve the inside of the bag where most of the wear and tear occurs.
- Contrasting Lining Although a few HDS Medallion bags are lined in solid black, most bags have colored solid or patterned lining materials in keeping with our brand and style. For example, the Yellow Daylilies Demi Bag is lined with an aqua and yellow plaid that complements the colors on the outside. Our Denim Bouquet Premier Bag has contemporary flowers in a range of denim blues for its lining. All bag interior pockets are made of fabric that contrasts with the lining.
- Wide selection in a range of colors, patterns, sizes and embellishments:
- Classic Collection (15" x 12"): 14 different bags in colors ranging from pink to blue to taupe to black & silver and back.
- Premier Collection (15" x 12"): 14 different bags in a range of prints and patterns including paisley, animal, floral, Asian and contemporary. All carry our detachable, adjustable straps.
- Demi-Premiers (13" x 10"): While smaller than Premier, these bags are impressive on their own. There are 9 smaller bags in new patterns and colors – all embellished with everything from ribbons to big buttons to colored and white slides to gorgeous braids.
- Metro Collection (17" x 12"): Available in animal prints — reptile and leopard – along with zippers.
- Made in U.S.A. – While there is a growing trend to manufacture in the U.S.A., we've always done so in Massachusetts! We hope all bag manufacturers will eventually bring their products back home to the U.S.A. Even the brass and nickel coated medallions that every bag sports are made here (Rhode Island) as well as other hardware (Connecticut).
- Service – we're proud of our service representatives who interact with our customers to answer questions, provide information as well as how we treat people who have to return a bag for any reason. Although we have less than 3% returns for all reasons, we view every return as important and strive to handle it well and efficiently.
So check out HDS Medallion online at www.hdsmedallion.com or call us at 877-646-1941.Read More

Customer Creativity – Making Our Bags Even More Fabulously Functional
"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."
– Steve Jobs
Since introducing the first HDS Medallion bags, we've added many new styles and patterns to fit more mobility devices and to meet your personalized needs. The creativity you have shown us on the many ways you're adapting and using the bags to simplify life on a mobility device is fantastic! Stay tuned to this and future newsletters…we'll show you how versatile these bags are so that you too may become inspired to use it in a new way.
While HDS Medallion bags are stylish, colorful and tastefully designed bags, we're proud of their practical functionality that we have designed. We cherish meeting with you at tradeshows and events, talking on the phone or conversing on social media and learning more about how you use them. In the last two years, we've seen many innovative ways that you, our customers, are using HDS Medallion bags to ease your life, express your individuality and organize your belongings on a mobility device.
Have You Considered Using Your Bag Like This?
HDS Medallion's original bags, our Classic Collection, are geared predominately for walkers, scooters and thin-armed power chairs. Shortly after introducing those bags, we received numerous requests from people with all kinds of chairs/devices. That's when we designed the simple, unique, clever attachment system that allows you to configure the straps so the bag can work on all types of mobility devices. In our Premier, Demi-Premier and Metro Collection Bags, the straps are detachable and adjustable allowing you to attach the straps' metal snap hooks to any of 6 strategically placed metal D-rings inside the bag.
By adjusting the placement and length of the straps, HDS Medallion envisioned 4 major arrangements to fit most devices in logical places (e.g. armrests, bars, etc.) We've demonstrated our Premier, Demi-Premier and Metro Collections in the following ways at the tradeshows we've been exhibitors:
- Two shortened straps hooked front to back in parallel D-rings work with thin armed power chairs, medical scooters' armrests or front handles, transport wheelchairs' armrests, walkers' bars and manual wheelchairs with a bar in the back.
- Same arrangement as above with straps extended allows thick- armed power chair users to utilize the bag on the armrest.
- A shortened strap can be looped into each side seam's D ring. Both snap hooks from one strap should hook into the same side D ring. This arrangement allows you to place these loops over the back handles of a wheelchair or a power chair with such handles.
- Use as a shoulder bag with both straps fully extended and then hooked into the two D rings on the same side of the bag – one strap front to front D rings while the other does the same on the back D-rings. This is a feature quite unique to HDS MEDALLION.
Have You Ever Considered Using Your Bag In This Way?
Learn how to use the bag in these ways in the coming issues:
- As a cross body bag
- Around the entire back of a low wheelchair (i.e. Colours wheelchair)
- Under a person's legs in a power or wheelchair tomore easily reach into the bag for some people
- Under seats to tastefully cover urine bags
- As a fanny pack
- Extended straps wrapped in a figure 8 around handles of a manual wheelchair for security
We'll discuss each of these techniques in a future newsletter! How have you used your bag differently? Share your technique with us on Facebook or send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com .Read More
Fear no Fall
As more wheelchair users participate in sports it is becoming evident that new technology needs to be developed to keep pace with the rigors of playing games such as basketball, hockey and tennis. One problem all wheelchair athletes face is getting their wheelchair back up right after a fall. Playing competitive sports leads to some rough collisions and many wheelchair users have voiced concern about not being able to get their wheelchairs back up fast enough and having the game stopped.
Now, though, with the help of students at the Imperial College in London, wheelchairs are being designed so that people with disabilities can easily push themselves back onto their wheels. Basketball is the first sport the students thought of when developing the technology but say it can be used for other sports as well.
When disabled people participate in wheelchair sports they are strapped into their wheelchairs and find it difficult to push the wheelchair upright because of the way the wheelchairs are currently designed. Another problem is that some players have less control over their abdominal muscles and have weak upper arm strength so they lack the power to push themselves up.
The design by the Imperial students enables players to push themselves into an upright position by augmenting the front bumper section of a sports wheelchair with a metal wheel and rubber casing and a clutch mechanism in the frame. This provides a lockable pivot point between the wheelchair's bumper and the floor so that players can push themselves up from the floor and re-right the chair without assistance or having the game paused.
The project is part of a five-year Rio Tinto Sports Innovation Challenge which aims to harness the creativity of Imperial's students in order to make sports more accessible to people with disabilities and improve the sporting and training equipment available to them.
Simone Castagno, one of the Imperial designers, told the campus newspaper, "We want to empower players who compete in wheelchair sports, so that they don't have to rely on others to get them upright and back in the game. Ultimately, we hope to see our device being used by sportspeople in the near future."Read More

From Killing Fields to Tennis Courts
Cambodia's history is one of violent struggle and genocide. The brutal stories of this small country in Southeast Asia was captured in the 1984 film The Killing Fields, a powerful movie that won three Academy Awards in depicting the bloody reign of the communist Khmer Rouge and their role in executing approximately 2.1 million people from 1970 to 1975.
While Cambodia tries to mend the wounds caused by this dark period, individuals are taking it upon themselves to help in the healing process. Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi is doing his part with a foundation he started called Stop War Start Tennis. Qureshi is partnering with another foundation called Killing Fields to Tennis Courts and has already sent five tennis wheelchairs to Cambodia to encourage disabled people to participate in tennis.
The Killing Fields to Tennis Courts foundation aims to put tennis courts in areas that were once killing fields, clearing the land of mines and providing tennis-specific wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs for amputees, along with training and equipment.
Qureshi has been busy this year lending his support to other countries including Sri Lanka, Iraq and Pakistan and supporting people with mobility disabilities by donating wheelchairs and reinforcing the benefits of tennis as both physical and mental therapy.
"What they (Killing Fields to Tennis Courts) are doing in Cambodia for disabled youth and adult tennis is really inspiring," Qureshi told ATP, the Association of Tennis Professionals. "I sincerely appreciate the ATP for all their support for Stop War Start Tennis."
Qureshi has won 10 ATP World Tour doubles crowns since turning pro in 1998. Originally from Lahore, Pakistan, Qureshi has used tennis as a vehicle for humanitarian causes and is now a member of the "Champions for Peace" club, a group of 54 athletes committed to serving peace in the world through sport.
In December Qureshi will travel to Cambodia to lead a weekend wheelchair clinic and to give the keynote address at a fundraiser.Read More
Austin High School Student on a Mission
For Archer Hadley, a teenage student at Austin High School, getting inside his school is an everyday challenge. The school was built in 1975 and according to Disability Texas the law does not require such buildings to have automatic doors.
Many schools have opted for wheelchair accessible ramps and doors but Austin High has yet to pony up the $40,000 necessary to install power doors in five entrances to the school.
Instead of waiting on his school to do the right thing, Archer is starting his own wheelchair challenge with the goal of raising the money needed to install the doors. His idea is the Mr. Maroo wheelchair challenge where each day participants will roll a mile in a wheelchair to experience what life is like for Archer and other students who need wheelchairs to get around.
"I was tired of waiting for someone to open the door for me," Archer told KHOU-TV in Houston. "Last year I got stuck in the rain on a balcony coming out of a 3rd floor elevator."
Right now if Hadley wants to enter the school he has to wait for someone to open the manual doors for him. And if anyone knows anything about Texans, independence is a high priority.
Barbara Hadley, Archer's mother, is helping out and was able to get National Seating and Mobility to round up enough wheelchairs to be used for two weeks while the challenge takes place. Already students and coaches at the school are signing up to join in and help not only raise money but experience what life is like for Archer by rolling at least one mile a day in a wheelchair.
"It's harder for other people," student Celia Bigger told KHOU-TV. "I don't realize how hard that is, so I thought it was a good idea to figure out how they live through their struggles, how they accomplish little things instead of just the big things in the life."
Hadley's goal is to have the money raised and the doors installed by mid-December. Many people who learned about the challenge were shocked to find out that the school doesn't have disability access. Austin, home to the University of Texas and considered one of the more progressive cities in the U.S. can hardly be proud of a high school that forces students in wheelchairs to wait for help just to get inside. With Hadley's challenge, that could change very soon.

Reasons why I Shouldn�t Go To Swim Class Today � Monday October 22
1. I hate new things, things I can�t control
2. I do not trust the instructor
3. I�m claustrophobic
4. I�m 59, I�ve gotten by this far without really knowing how to swim
5. No one will save me if I start to drown
6. Other people in the pool will laugh at me
7. I�ll have an anxiety attack
8. What if I can�t breathe once I put my head in the water
9. I could use the time in more effective ways.
I couldn�t think of a tenth one and my well defined sense of order was driving me crazy!!! I�d dreaded it all weekend. My first ACTUAL swimming class, the one where we�d learn to breathe under water. There are few things that terrify me more than being under water. After Fridays initial assessment at my lumbering attempt to swim Julia told me it would be a good idea to get some swimming goggles. They�d keep the chlorine from burning my eyes. I waited until late Monday morning hoping against hope that there wouldn�t be the right pair for me and then I could call and cancel and abusage my guilt and anxiety with a bag of orange slices. I walked around with a note pad and kept writing reasons why I shouldn�t go. Maybe I could pretend to be sick?It was quite an internal battle. I kept pushing forward and each time I�d make a small step forward the anxiety monster would pop up and beat me with this huge hammer. As I was sitting on the bench waiting for Julia all the previous swim lessons in my life started floating in front of me, all the failures and botched attempts at doing anything.
Julia came bouncing out of the locker room and took off her sweats �Time to rock and roll. How ya doing today?�
�I�m scared.�
Julia flexed her arm and squeezed her bicep. �Don�t worry John, I�m strong enough. I won�t let you drowned!� I thought this is where I was supposed to get a hug or something?
It�s really kind of funny, you know, because after about fifteen minutes of doing exactly what she told me to do I suddenly realized I was swimming. I wasn�t David Phelps but I was displacing water in a relatively smooth fashion. I let someone have control. Julia clapped her hands and jumped up and down. (I didn�t tell you the child is terminally perky!!)
It dawned on me later Monday evening that my first reason for not wanting to come back is the main reason I don�t do a lot of things. �I hate new things I can�t control.� Between us good friends I hate anything I can�t control so I rationalize not doing things for a host of really valid excuses. (Well at least they are valid in my mind.) I�d like to tell you that I conquered my fear of water and there is a wreath of birds chirping above my head as I walk through life. I have not conquered my fear of water but come Friday at 2:30 I�ll be waiting for Julia on the bench and we�ll do another lesson. Between now and then maybe I�m going to look at some of the other things that petrify me and start dealing with them. Care to join me?
I have a lot of friends here at Spark. I'm not bragging just reflecting on how very fortunate I am to be able to sample life's buffet table from all different perspectives. From the very athletic to the beginners I can always find someone to get me gong at the right moment.
I found a friend here that's relatively new to Spark. She blogs daily and if you read her blogs they are short, sweet and to the point. She drinks eight glasses of water each day. She walks or jogs three days a week. She exercises. Like you and I she has to tweak her diet plan to stay on track and like you and I she has challenges. Nothing really exotic, just the meat and potatoes of health.
She ended her blog today by asking "What's everyone elses goals for the day?" Gee, lol, that's right, I have to do this every day. Years ago I had a boss who used to remind me "Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves." The proof is in the pudding?
Thank you my new and dear friend for sharing part of your journey today. It's just what I needed.
It's no fun being over weight. Whether its fifteen pounds or one hundred pounds we seem to have an internal radar that compares us to other people and I've found that shaky self confidence often goes hand in hand with obesity. We feel pressured dont we? Pressured to be like everyone else. Oh, I know, publicly we spout off mantras that suggest we're our own person and we NEVER, did I say NEVER compare ourselves to others. (I know double negative but its my blog, my rules, lol) Then why do we exist in varying degrees of misery? Why do so many of us fail and give up? If we didnt listen to all the chatter that steadily hums in the background would we be successful?
Each morning I do a short guided meditation to start my day. It guides me into the present, the now. This is vital for me. I usually get out of bed with my mind whirling and in short order I'm stuck in a ditch somewhere feeling tense, frustrated and anxious. This morning my mind moved to that feeling of self judgment I get when I start comparing myself to other people. My first impulse is to panic and try something very radical to get me where I perceive to the need to be in a hurry. I might look at all the Spark success stories on the log in page and tell myself "You need to amp it up John." My mind moves me towards activity and that activity usually goes beyond my bodies capability.
As I allowed my body to relax I had this image of a cut on one of my fingers. I stood before my doctor and said, "I cut my finger, could your amputate my hand?" The inner John laughed but there was an amazing wisdom in that image. How often do I engage my over kill instinct because I perceive myself to be "less than." I have to catch up quick and rather than wait for some healing I employ drastic measures only to find myself with even more issues that I began with.
Close your eyes for just a moment and focus on right here, right now. You'll be glad you did. Warts and all you are an amazing person living in a most amazing time.
And here we are.
Namaste dear ones
I lost 3.2 pounds this past week. Even I was surprised. I sat here for a few moments and tried to reach out and capture some pearl of wisdom to share with you that caused that type of loss. I apologize, I simply can't. I can't come up with anything other than I've stuck to the three goals I set for myself a few months back.
I stayed within my calorie limits.
I exercised for 30 minutes 6 days per week.
I practice mindful meditation at least once daily for 10 minutes.
There's a fourth and its hard to capture in words but I will try.
My daughters stopped over with a pizza last night. It was thin crust with cheese and veggies. I didnt stress. We hadn't planned anything for dinner. I had three slices. I was content and was well within my calorie limits. Did I say I didnt stress? What was important is the time I spent around the table with my wife and daughters. I may never have that moment again and I know what you're thinking "You could have sat there and not eaten." Yeah, probably, but I wouldnt have had as much fun. I know the plan I am following is a good one. I know I'll stumble and fall and I know one day I'll reach my goal weight. In the interim if life allows a few slices of veggie pizza into my universe so be it.
Yeah, I know we had the cookie fiasco earlier this week but we dealt with it. And really, isnt that what life is, dealing with stuff? So no worries, right now. I'm sure someday soon I'll have them again. This morning I just want to enjoy the 3.2 pound loss.
"We just get one ride around the sun in this dream of time.
It goes so fast that one day we look back and we ask:
Was that my life?"
Jo dee Messina
I try to limit my blogs to 500 words. I've found as a writer you obey the old adage "You tell someone what time it is, you don't tell them how to build a watch." It's the reason I wish we could all sit around a large virtual table, share a beverage and our thoughts. I don't always get my point across in a clear manner. (I have this compulsion to entertain people. )
The point I was trying to make yesterday was that in the old days I would have rationalized NOT throwing the cookies away. I would have convinced myself that with people going to bed hungry each night it was my moral duty to eat those cookies. Once they were gone I'd find a reason to buy more, along with cakes, candy and the like. The fact that I drug my sorry butt out of bed at 2 AM to throw them away shows real progress on my part.
I cant have sweets in the house. I simply run amuck when I do. It is, as they say, what it is. It was a huge step towards mindfulness to remove them right then and there along with the fruit slices I didnt tell you about A grape and a cookie can be sitting side by side and I'll grab the cookie every time, if it's there.
Joan finally spoke on the issue and told me she believed I wanted to get caught or I would have tossed them when she wasnt home.
This is a huge step for me and I wanted to share it with you because I know some of you struggle with the same issues and I want you to know I do to. So do lots of other people. But there is hope!!! If I can hang in there, so can you!!!
There!!! LOL What time is it?
