'If everybody really thought about being kind, it would change everything'
BEND, Ore. (AP) — Nine-year-old Ocean Eisenberg wanted to change something about his school.
Ocean is a third-grader at Seven Peaks School in Bend, and he didn't like how some of the children were treating each other.
"There had been a lot of bullying in the school, a lot of arguments and pushing," said Ocean. He says a lot of the fights took place at recess — one kid would want the ball first or want to kick the ball or be excluded from a group — and the kids would fight.
"They weren't being nice to each other," said Ocean.
Something of a peacemaker, Ocean says he would try to talk to the kids when they would get upset.
"I had already tried to solve some problems and it didn't work," said Ocean. He often saw his teacher, Jennifer Baughman, intervene. "My teacher told them not to do it and it didn't work."
Pretty soon, the kids would be right back to arguing and fighting.
Ocean's mom, Emmy Eisenberg, says it was something her son talked about a lot at home. She says he felt frustrated.
That's when Ocean came up with the idea for the Kindness Club.
And since the club started a few weeks ago, there has been a noticeable shift in how kids treat each other, according to Baughman.
"I definitely think it's had an impact," said Baughman. "It's really helped (the kids) be reflective."
Ocean wanted to make it easy for people to point out when someone wasn't being kind. He noticed that sometimes, when you speak up and tell someone they aren't being nice, that can just lead to a bigger argument.
Ocean's idea was to give bracelets that said Kindness Club to everyone in his class. Then, whenever kids saw someone who wasn't being nice, the student would tap his or her bracelet. It's a gentle way to remind kids to be kind to one another.
School administrator Robert Rusk was impressed with the idea. "I'm amazed by what he's done," said Rusk. "I give him all the credit."
Ocean ordered the bracelets online and gave them to everyone in class, including his teacher.
Emmy Eisenberg liked how her son approached the problem. He wasn't looking to get kids in trouble — this was a positive solution. "If you have kindness and can learn kindness, it has a ripple effect," she said.
Baughman says it is pretty typical for third-graders to argue during recess — they are an age when they are learning about how to have compassion for others and "sportsmanship can be a tough lesson." She noticed this year "there were lots of hurt feelings happening at recess." She spent a lot of time talking to the class about sportsmanship and being kind to one another. But the conflict persisted. One day, she was lecturing the class about getting along, when Ocean raised his hand. He told her and the students about his idea for a kindness club.
Ocean presented his idea to the class. He said kindness included things like not pushing, not saying bad things, not arguing and including everyone. He asked kids to come up in front of the class and role play different scenarios and then instructed them on how to use the bracelet to solve the problem.
Baughman liked the idea right away, saying the bracelet provided a visible reminder to be kind. She also liked that everyone could be in the club and it would help hold everyone accountable. Baughman talks about the Kindness Club nearly every day in class. "It's part of the fabric of our classroom now."
While it is Ocean's idea, she hopes to continue the concept of the club and maybe elevate it even further, although she isn't certain how.
The other kids also responded really positively. "The kids were so excited," said Baughman. "It's been really cool. When the kids feel someone is being unkind, they point at their bracelets." The bracelets serve as a "constant reminder about the pact they made to be kind."
Ocean says he thinks the club has made a big difference and has noticed fewer fights and fewer arguments. "Whenever you tap it, it usually stops the argument."
Emmy Eisenberg says she thinks it works just to help pause the argument, almost like a time out. She says kindness has always been a focus in their home. They write in gratitude journals, for instance, and talk about what it means to be kind. Ocean volunteers at the Humane Society and has been a vegetarian since he was little; he feels every living thing has the same rights.
"He has always had a heart like that," said Eisenberg. "He saves flies out of spider webs."
Ocean is also very active and loves football, soccer, tennis and skiing.
Baughman says Ocean has a "special gift" to be able to look outside of himself.
"It's such an amazing idea," said Baughman. "I was pretty proud of him."
Emmy Eisenberg agrees, saying "I'm just really proud of him for coming up with his own solutions. It makes him happy to help others ... if everybody really thought about being kind, it would change everything."

All I know about the pay scale is moving down and to the right is GOOD!!!I was told pay depends on education adn time in. is this correct? I'm not exactly sure how they fit you in each pay category and I'm not talking about specialist stuff, like combat diving, jump pay, EOD etc. For example if you have a master's degree or a doctorate what category would you fit under. Similarly if you've been in for 20 years and you're a Warrant what would yo be in the same pay scale as a Warrant that's been in for 25 years. If you hold a professional designation like a CA or P.Eng. do they consider that in your pay. For example lawyers, doctors, pilots get paid more. Lawyers, doctors, chaplains are commissioned captains. why is that? Engineers and medical officers get signing bonuses is this merely because there are a lack of them. Are there signing bonuses for NCM trades? [/qb]
Originally posted by gryphon664:[qb] Yeah.. comms.. i think that if your already a qualified sig op, then they give you a 40 000$ bonus..maybe someone can confirm this tho [/qb]
The CF is also currently very desperate for engineers as well
However, if you attract these young sharks by the money, well as soon as they have some professional experiences under their belts, if only money motivate them, they are going to learn salary negotiation and they might switch for the private sector quickly.
Yeah.. comms.. i think that if your already a qualified sig op, then they give you a 40 000$ bonus..maybe someone can confirm this tho
Actually, rumour has it the music branch may now recruit singers as well as musicians. To my knowledge, though, there are no signing bonuses for singing.However, some messes do have karaoke nights.
In this page http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dgcb-dgras/ps/pay-sol/pr-sol/rfor-ofr-eng.asp I'd like to be clarified what pay increment levels basic, 1-10 mean. How does one get paid more than a other people in the same entry plan and rank? I am confuse.
Not sure what trade you're going for or why waiting a year would get you a signing bonus. If it's not offered now, it may not be offered next year, either. However, SISIP has some great loan plans at very low interest rates.
Recruiting bonuses are offered when the CDS designates trades as sufficiently understrength that incentives are needed to close the gap."Centennial monies" have nothing to do with it - the Navy does not pay recruiting incentives fro mtheir funds; they come from central CF funds, managed by the Chief of Military Personnel.Incentives will only come back if the occupational strength dips significantly below PML again. Counting on that is a crapshoot.Besides, delaying entry by antoher year will give you one less year of pensionable time (assuming you wish to serve a full career); one less year for promotion and thus more money, one less year for creidt for Sea Duty Allowance and Foregn Service Premium, one more year to accumulate interest on your loans...In short, waiting a year has a large opportunity cost. You have to make the choice, but be sure it's an informed one.
Frankly, I don't see why, at the very least CSE shouldn't be getting said bonus. Last time I checked, we were the 3rd most understrength officer trade in the CF. And I don't think MSE is in the green either.
Frankly, I don't see why I can't be a pilot, either.........but such is life.

Social Equality and Discrimination
Generally, each individual regardless of occupation, sex, race, nationality or religion is respected in the United States. Thus, any person you meet will expect the same consideration and courtesy. Prejudice and stereotyping, however, is a reality and international students will occasionally experience hostility of this nature. A common confusion for international students is whether any specific interaction is a result of prejudice or stereotyping, or a consistent pattern of behavior (the individual responds to everyone, regardless of nationality, in that manner).
If you feel that you have been treated unfairly due to race, sex, age, color, religion, sexual orientation, or nation of origin, report the situation and request assistance from the Office International Education or Personal Counseling Services (ext. 6117).

GRIGGS, WILLIAM CLARK (1932–2003). William Clark Griggs, historian, author, and founder of Southwest Museum Services, was born December 16, 1932, in Lubbock, Texas. He was the son of John Ernest and Thelma (Clark) Griggs. Griggs graduated from Texas A&M University in 1954 then entered the United States Army in operations and intelligence, achieving the rank of corporal. Afterward he was accepted into the graduate program at Texas Tech, where he earned both master and doctoral degrees. While still working on his advanced degrees, Griggs established the History of Engineering and Technology Center at the university.
Griggs went on to become the executive director of the Heritage Society of Houston in 1982. He left that post in 1987 to found and become CEO of Southwest Museum Services, a company that designs and builds museums and museum exhibits across the world. With his help, this top-ranked company created exhibits for clients such as the Dr Pepper Museum in Waco, the Sam Houston Memorial Museum in Huntsville, and the Cayman Islands National Museum.
Griggs wrote several books, including Parson Henry Renfro: Free Thinking on the Texas Frontier (1994) (see HENRY CARTY RENFRO). This biography about his great-great-grandfather included family letters and old sermons along with newspaper articles. In addition he wrote The Elusive Eden: Frank McMullan's Confederate Colony in Brazil (1987), based on his research while in Brazil as a Fulbright scholar in 1983 (see FRANCIS MCMULLAN). Griggs was active in numerous professional organizations and served on the Texas Historical Commission. He was a Lutheran.
Griggs and his wife Joan had two children, a daughter, Nancy, and a son, John. He died in Brenham, Texas, on April 17, 2003, of cancer and was buried in Chappell Hill, Texas. He was honored posthumously with the Distinguished Alumnus Award in the history department at Texas Tech University.

TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The City of Nogales sure knows how to make their champs feel like superstars with another parade Saturday to celebrate.
The parade began at 10 a.m. and included a full marching band, cheerleaders and even a police escort to lead the way as the Nogales Little Leaguers proudly waved to their adoring fans.
"This community is so close," said Rebecca Meyer, who came to support her brother. "It feels like a big family."
Even if they weren't on the winning Intermediate World Series team, these kids still felt like celebrities.
"It was like, cool and awesome and I really liked it," said Renne Aguirre, who participated in the parade as a folklorico dancer.
"It just felt great," said Alan Morgan, from Calabasas Middle School. "Once in a lifetime experience, you know?"
Even though it's been almost two weeks since the 50-70 Division Little League team took home that Intermediate World Series title, the memory of that win is still fresh in their minds.
"It's been a dream for all of us to get to the World Series and winning it is even bigger," said Alex Ramos, a player on the team. "It's just amazing."
They still can't believe how much support they've received from the community.
"None of us here in Nogales have had a World Series experience until this year," said Head Coach Jorge Guerrero. "Everything's just been overwhelming. Everybody's been great, everybody's been treating us great, it's just been a great, great feeling."

All points delicious in France
By Ann | September 22, 2009
I'm so tickled by this postcard, which I found while browsing at Cartes d'Art (9 rue du Dragon, Paris, 6ème) this weekend! As you can see, there's certainly no shortage of delicious food in France — the whole country is stuffed (quite literally) with regional specialties!
Click here for a closer look. I especially like the nougat that looks like bleu d'Auvergne that looks like roquefort. Oh, and apparently foxes eat ice cream cones.

You find yourself standing outside a cabin. It is 1894 and you are deep in the heart of the Swedish countryside. The cold sting of the winter wind hits your face as you make your way through a strange and mysterious forest. In the distance, an old windmill croaks and creaks. Snowflakes drift downward, illuminated by fleeting bits of light. Strange objects litter the landscape – a wooden box, sealed by a combination lock and covered in carved shapes and symbols; an ancient waystone bringing a message from a civilization which has long since passed from the world; trees marked with crude drawings. Welcome to Simogo Games' Year Walk.
Year Walk is a 2D, first person adventure game which explores the Swedish tradition of the same name. As the game's opening text crawl explains, during a Year Walk a person would venture out at midnight on New Year's Day, following a day-long fast. The legend held that if you walked to the local church, you would be granted a glimpse into your future – but not before encountering trials and temptations from the spirits which inhabit the woods.
The gameplay in "Year Walk" will feel familiar to anyone who played first-person adventure games like Myst - though navigation involves dragging and swiping fingers across the iPad or iPhone screen. You explore the forest, discovering which items and objects you can interact with and trying to figure out how each relates to the other.
Many of the puzzles require you to observe tiny details in the game world, and I had to keep a running list of notes as I explored, many of which came in handy as I decrypted codes and pictograms, noted patterns in the environment, and discovered the multiple ways in which ways the environment can be manipulated. And it is in that manipulation that Year Walk really shines. As an iOS game, it takes advantage of the platform in a way few games have. I hesitate to spoil any of the moments of discovery, but I'll make a comparison that hopefully will make sense to some.
If you've ever had the chance to read "House of Leaves," I would say that it's not much of a stretch to say that what it does for books, is what "Year Walk" does for games. Much of "House of Leaves" relies on forcing the reader to manipulate the physical book in order to read the story – flipping it around, holding it to a mirror, dissecting hidden codes within the text. Also like "House of Leaves," "Year Walk" is terrifying at parts and atmospheric throughout. There were maybe a half-dozen points in this game where the game caused me to shudder and jump back in my seat.
And of course, "House of Leaves" is filled with hundreds of footnotes which provide a sort of parallel narrative to the main story. While "Year Walk" doesn't have foot notes, what it does have is a companion app.
The "Year Walk Companion" is a free app which, on its surface, serves as a sort of codex for the various Swedish folk tales referenced throughout the game. You learn about the Mylings (the souls of infants left to die in the cold) and the Brook Horse (a water spirit that takes the form of a strange horse in a suit), but you will also get hints and clues that help you progress. And, again, I hesitate to say more than this, but you need to play this game with the companion app. I played with the app on my iPhone and the game on my iPad and… well, I'll leave it there, but suffice to say, Simogo is doing some incredible work.
I feel like I'm ranting here, but the things this game did just completely blew me away. And while the puzzles were a joy to solve and the world is beautifully rendered, I think the thing that sets this game apart the most is the narrative. At its core, "Year Walk" is a love story, and it is easily one of the most beautiful and emotional experiences I've ever had in a game. This is a game you should experience knowing as little as possible, and I fear I have already said to much. But just go, go get this game. Find a comfortable chair and settle in for one of the most interesting gaming experiences this year.
And when you're done, we HAVE to talk about the mind blowing ending.

Ben Casnocha highlights a problem with businesses that try to do too much:
The theory behind outsourcing is that it enables specialization: you do one thing really well and let others do the rest. Some of the more frustrating customer service experiences happen with entities where there's limited outsourcing and specialization. As I've written before, airlines do way too much. They market their brand and flight routes, they handle reservations and bookings, they maintain aircraft, they deal with luggage. More airlines should do as they do with their regional jet business: focus on something and outsource the rest. In the regional jet example, the big airlines handle reservations and ticketing and outsource the actual flying of planes.
Arnold Kling applies this theory to education:
In the legacy education model, teachers combine coaching, feedback, and content delivery. By coaching I mean advice, guidance, and encouragement. Feedback includes formal grading as well as informal praise and criticism. Content delivery includes lectures and reading assignments. Perhaps the key to radically changing education is to break up those functions.

Downtown Disney
This is Walt Disney World Resort's shopping, restaurant and entertainment district. It is definitely worth a visit and with free parking and no admission it's a nice place to stop at if you've got a spare few hours.
The area is split into two sections; Marketplace and West Side. Both feature shops and restaurants but West Side has a slightly more
Mature feel to it. Between these is Pleasure Island which used to be bars and clubs for some grown-up evening entertainment but this area has been closed and will re-open with a different purpose.
There are numerous shops here but here are some that really shouldn't be missed:
- World of Disney. This is the biggest Disney store in the world. It is the perfect place to shop for presents to take back at home or for that holiday keepsake. It sells exclusive Disney park merchandise from clothing to jewellery to kitchenware to toys.
- LEGO Imagination Store. Worth a visit just to see the impressive Lego creations outside the front of the store. Plus if you're a Lego fan they sell lots of kits and sets including Disney branded one, plus Duplo for the little ones.
- Disney's Pin Traders – if you're a Disney pin collector this has to be a must for you – you wot find a bigger collection any where else and occasionally you'll find 'expert' pin traders outside to trade with.
- TrenD – a little pricier but way cooler than most Disney merchandise this is a clothes store selling Disney (and some non-Disney) clothing with an edge.
- Team Mickey – a definite must for sports fans, you can get clothing and sports apparatus here, quite a lot of it being Disney branded although some of it is sports teams. It is pretty much just American sports though so a lot of baseballs and basketballs and a lot less "soccer" but you will find some catered to us.
- Once Upon a Toy – a fun toy shop. You can create your own Mr or Mrs potato head or light sabre!
- Disney's Days of Christmas. I think this is probably my favourite store in Downtown Disney. I love shopping for Christmas decorations when it's boiling hot outside! All Disneyfied of course, but you have to buy at least one Disney bauble!
- RideMakerz is fairly new and allows you to build your own car with numerous bodies, engines, tyres etc. to pick from. One warning is that this can get expensive very quickly so either go in with a set budget in mind and explain to the kids (or Dads!) how to stick to it, only make one per family or expect to make this one of your pricier shopping trips.
There are many other shops to explore, including sweets, kitchenware, jokes, art, design you're own Tee, jewellery, soaps, magnets and more!
There are some fab places to eat in Downtown Disney, from cafes to fancy restaurants. One thing to note is that proportionally, less restaurants here accept the dining plan. So if you're on it, you may want to check on advance before you book. And if you're not, you might stand a good chance of getting a table if it's during a free Dining promotion. I won't list them all but here our some of our faves:
- T-Rex, a dinosaur themed restaurant, complete with roaring and moving dinosaurs around you and above you.
- Rainforest Cafe is owned by the same people as T-Rex and is the same concept. Expect lush jungle surroundings and listen out for the sounds and movements of the animals. We also have one of these in London if you don't want to give up your Disney time for it.
- Fulton's Crab House is located on a boat and is all lit up at night. We've had some really lovely meals there but I've also heard that not everyone thinks it lives up to it's price tag.
- Planet Hollywood is a burger and chips style meal but in the famous chain.
- Bongos Cuban Cafe is owned by Gloria Estefan and is very tasty Cuban food.
- House of Blues has southern-style food and has a grungy, blues feel to it. they also have live performances at various times throughout the week.
- Wolfgang Puck Cafe is split into Express, Lounge and Sushi Bar, the Cafe and the Dining Room. I've never been, but mention it as its often cited as people's favourite quick service meal in Downtown Disney, although it has a restaurant as well.
- Ghirardelli Ice Cream and chocolate shop – a favourite of many!
- Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant – to which you can drop by for a drink or a meal. I mention this mainly as its one of the very few places in Walt Disney World Resort that you can buy cider (the alcoholic kind – apparently cider in the States is apple juice). When we went they had Strongbow but not Magners or any of the better options but the bar tender did say they might be changing their range in the future as it was becoming a more common request.
There are 4 big 'attractions' and they're all found at West Side.
Cirque du Soleil: La Nouba. A huge white tent looking building is the home to this permanent human circus theatre show. The show is expensive at west end type prices but is really incredible and I would definitely recommend it. Make sure you're rested and relaxed when you go though as we went following a very busy day and my husband has the most expensive nap of his life!
DisneyQuest Indoor Interactive Theme Park is essentially a huge arcade centre. Set over 5 floors you can play virtual games, build your own virtual rollercoaster and play regular arcade games. If you have one of the UK Ultimate Disney tickets then you will have unlimited access to DisneyQuest or it's an option on the Premier tickets. Arcade games really aren't my thing so I've only been here once but if you do like them then this will be right up your alley!
Characters In Flight. This is a tethered hot air balloon ride that takes you 400 feet I'm the air and gives you some amazing views of Downtown Disney and Walt Disney World Resort in general. The balloon won't fly if the flying conditions aren't right and for that reason, they don't take bookings in advance.
There is also a 24 screen cinema in Downtown Disney, if you fancy catching a film while you're away.

Hepatitis A B C

I had unprotected sex, she was diognised with hepatitis c on 5-3-10, is there a chance i get it, and is it treatebal,and what is the maximum time before you treat it Thankyou.
Response from Dr. McGovern
Hepatitis C can be transmitted sexually but it is not common. Sexual transmission occurs in the context of other genital ulcers (eg, syphilis) or in associated with traumatic sex. There are several reports over the past several years of MSM acquiring acute HCV through sex also.
I think testing would be reasonable...

Q: The dealer is going to charge me to replace the mechanism on my recliner. Isn't this covered under my lifetime warranty?
A: It depends on when you purchased your chair and what style it is if the mechanism is covered under the La-Z-Boy Limited Lifetime Warranty. To review warranty information, please visit the Warranty section on this website.
Q: My chair is noisy when I lower the footrest, is this normal?A: Since there are moving metal parts in our reclining mechanisms, there will be some noise involved when releasing the footrest. To lessen the noise, we suggest releasing the handle slowly when disengaging the footrest. Additionally, distributing your weight evenly on the seat while slightly raising your feet from the footrest when releasing the handle will also decrease the noise level. We want to ensure that our customers are satisfied, so if you have any questions regarding your furniture and how it operates, please contact any authorized dealer. They have years of experience selling and servicing our furniture, and they will be able to ensure that your furniture is operating properly.

T'is the time of year to count your blessings and reflect on what you are truly thankful for. In the depth of flu season, we can all be thankful that we are not re-living the "Swine of '09" flu epidemic! However, every year someone in your office, classroom or home is suffering from those annoying cold and flu symptoms.
Now, the other issue going on right about now is that you've got those holiday parties and gatherings coming up, maybe people coming to stay with you, travel and gifts to give. What about that gift exchange with someone you barely know? No worries, it will all work out for you and your friends. I've got your back. Give the gift of Boiron's new 30 dose Oscillococcinum! Check it out! Protect yourself by dosing at the first sign of those annoying flu-like symptoms when you're feeling run down, have body aches, chills, fever. You know the drill. Now that you've reduced your likelihood of dealing with the full-on impact of that nasty bug because you're so smart, you can now attend those parties and gatherings and get your shopping done and your house cleaned and that final report will be turned in. There's no slowing you down! Because you have the 30 dose you can share with your friends, coworkers and family members too. And they will all THANK YOU.
Now, for the giving part. A bottle of wine at a gift exchange is so over-done. And another sweater…puh-leeze! I'm telling you Oscillo is it! I have personally witnessed and experienced for years how effective this is at reducing the severity and duration of those flu-like symptoms. Oscillococcinum is supported by published clinical studies and over 65 years of use around the globe.
This is a no-brainer. You can give it to anyone on your list and you can buy from 3 dose size to 30 dose size, so it fits about any budget.
