Jim Thorpe, Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens and Muhammad Ali are among my sports heroes, modern-day gladiators who can raise our spirits, when we are weighed down with life�s many burdens, and who can make us believe and keep faith in the greatness that is often obscured by our perceived limitations.
I still believe in sports heroes, but it is getting more difficult to keep that faith because too many of our current-day heroes are turning out to be nothing but high-priced snake oil salesmen.
Lance Armstrong, a seven-time winner of the Tour de France and founder and chairman of the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer support, is one of the latter.
His story is legendary. In 1996, testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs arrested his early cycling career, but he recovered to continue cycling, winning the Tour de France each year from 1999 to 2005. His community work was just as stout.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation he founded in 1997 is currently a $500 million charity organization. Built primarily through the sales of yellow Livestrong bracelets, the organization has aided and benefited millions of cancer patients in their battle with the disease.
The United States Anti-Doping Agency is now telling us, however, that Mr. Armstrong�s individual and community accomplishments were built on steroids.
According to the agency, not only did Mr. Armstrong take steroids, but he was also the central figure in a sophisticated doping program that provided steroids to other members of his cycling team and engaged in a series of methods to avoid detection.
The agency has stripped Mr. Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles and has barred him for life from participating in the sport.
Mr. Armstrong did not challenge the USADA decision, but he continues to deny he ever took banned substances in his career.
Interestingly, the disclosure that Mr. Armstrong might have cheated his way to greatness has not unleashed the public outrage that has accompanied the fall of other athletes, such as those caught up in the baseball steroids scandal. His major sponsors, for example, have not been in a rush to abandon him just yet.
Some have speculated that his work with his cancer foundation might be what is tempering public reaction.
Doug Ulman, chief executive director and president of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, told an AP reporter that he was banking on Mr. Armstrong�s work with the cancer center offsetting any negative fallout from his athletic failure.
�His leadership role doesn�t change,� Mr. Ulman reportedly said.
�He�s the founder. He�s our biggest advocate and always will be. People with cancer feel ownership of the brand. It was created for them.�
I am happy he feels that way, but I worry we are losing something bigger here.
Peter Howard, owner of Barney�s Bicycle, a family business that operates a store for used bikes and service repairs at 165 Chandler St, and its main store for new bike sales at 582 Park Ave, said he senses a resignation among the cycling community to Mr. Armstrong�s fall.
He noted that Tyler Hamilton, a former teammate of Mr. Armstrong and an accomplished cyclist and Olympic gold medal winner from Marblehead, suffered a similar fate, admitting to the use of banned substances in 2011. He was subsequently stripped of his gold medal.
�We have seen a number of our great heroes fall, and I think there is some resignation setting in. People are getting a little numb.�
We can only hope another hero will come along to make us believe again.

In March, two New Jersey State Troopers were caught on camera escorting supercars at high speed on the Garden State Parkway.
The act was a breach of protocol and earned them both immediate suspensions.
Now, one of the troopers involved in the escort has resigned after 26 years on the force.
The trooper, Sgt. 1st Class Nadir Nassry, released the following statement:
I fully realize this matter has caused my superiors significant embarrassment and also has impacted the trust that the public has with regard to the great character of the New Jersey State Police. For this, I must take full responsibility.
But leaving the force is not the end of the battle. It is believed the state will be brining 3rd and 4th degree criminal charges against the two officers tomorrow and there is even the possibility that the officers will lose their pensions in disciplinary action from the State Police.
The police are allowed to provide escorts in certain cases, but this is one that definitely didn't qualify.

Thanks so much to all at DUV Co. My wifes path to marriage here in Oz, and a Partner Visa has not been easy due to both our past bad choices many years ago. I had little faith we would be successful, but DUV help turn this around and assured us we had a good chance. It took longer than norm due to some legal documents that had to be rectified, but in the end Jeremy and Jeff both helped us through it all, albeit it difficult for us older folk, and at last we are finished all the hard work and now simply await the final grant of a Partner Visa that will surely granted in a couple of years time. It seems to me just a formality after all the other Visas (tourist and Prospective Marriage) DUV were successful with. Win loose or draw, I know that DUV did all they possibly could do, and am feeling very confident with the Permanent Partner Visa. My highest praises and gratefulness to you at Down Under Visa. Thanks... Mikeread more

Dear Jeff, Mila, Jerremy and the all at the Down Under Visa team, We would like to thank you for the professional services and support you have provided us for Ernestines application for Australian Permanent Residency which was granted afer a long journey in January this year. We would highly recommend Down Under Visa for all Filipina / Aussie or NZ couples wishing to to apply for Partner Visa's. There are many mistakes that can delay or invalidate Visa applications so having the knowledge and experience of a professional migration agent such as Jeff is invaluable. Jeff and the team are friendly, responsive and know what it takes to put together a successful application. In our opinion, the reasonable fee's charged for Down Under Visa's services is money well spent. The services provided will greatly assist your chances of achieving a good outcome and reduce the stress of the process.

My partner, Ian, and I can't thank you enough for being such a great help in obtaining our visas: tourist and partner. Whilst it is no doubt within most people's competence to prepare these applications and likely succeed, we were happy to pay for the peace of mind and reduced stress levels that having a good visa agent provides. We were pleased to have been granted my tourist visa very quickly and were confident enough that Down Under Visa would do everything they could to help us out with my partner visa which also was granted in a timely manner - what a huge relief! Thank you so much! Great doing business with you!read more

Life rewarded me with an unexpected trip to the Philippines. I met a nice lady who tugged on my heart strings.I was fortunate enough to be able to return to her and on one of those many sad goodbyes in the years that followed I found a DUV flyer before heading of to the airport. The Down Under Visa team guided me through what had to be done, made it possible for my wife, step-son and daughter to settle in Australia as was our wish. I don't think there will ever be an anniversary of 'touchdown' in Australia, or even citizenship anniversary that I will not say I silent thanks for the help DUV gave me. Truely thankful :)read more

I have a phobia when it comes to forms so hired Jeff as a consultant based on the reviews. Price is at the higher end of the price range listed for hiring a visa consultant. Glad I didn't skimp though, because you get what you pay for. The "hub" (you'll learn what it is) made my life a lot easier too. I don't like communicating back and forth either and checking in with the hub made it easy to see what I had to do next. The whole process of compiling the documentation, logs and photos took a little over a week. The online application was submitted on Wednesday and on Friday we received her 600 tourist visa approval letter from the Australian Embassy in Manila Mhagz wasn't required for an interview. The visa was granted based on the documents alone. The guys are friendly and patient. They treated Mhagz courteously when she came into their Dasmarinas office to drop off her requirements personally. Given the Philippines is a high risk country and Australia is notoriously difficult to get tourist visas for I can say with great confidence that no other visa consulting firm could have possibly beaten a 2 week turn around from initial enquiry to visa approval. My best advice for anyone in the Philippines looking to get any type of visa into Australia is to hire these guys as your agents. Give them what they ask for when they ask for it. Follow their instructions to the letter. They know their stuff and they do what you hire them to do with the highest level of professional. To Jeff his wife an the team on behalf of Mhagz and myself. Thank you. March 2018 update - Mhagz has just had her resident visa approved. Took only 5 months from lodgement to approval. We were set for the long haul of 12-18 months and possibly 2 years. I don't know how they do it but they do seem to have a good working relationship with th embassy and their reputation is counting for something.read more

Yet another Stella performance from Jeff, Jeremy and the DUV Team, our permanent visa approved the day after it was submitted. We used DUV for our Partner Visa (temporary) and after plenty of hard work and excellent advice from the DUV team it was approved in 7 months (record time). Now we used DUV to apply for our Permanent Partner Visa after the obligatory two year wait and have just been informed that it has been approved one day after it was submitted, great work team. Sure you can apply for all this yourself but be prepared to be knocked back by the Australian Immigration as its a bit of a mine field to negotiate and DUV do it better than anyone I know. My advice to any prospective visa applicants use DUV they make it so simple as they know the system. Also remember be totally honest and patient with DUV in all your dealings, if you are unable to supply a requested item just tell them, they will advise you from there. So thank you so much to Jeff and his DUV team and my mate Jeremy who has helped us throughout this amazing Journey. Russell & Roxanneread more

After getting a refusal for a tourist visa to Australia years ago, I'm so glad that I found DUV and decided to engage their services for a tourist and then subsequently a partner visa. I'm a lawyer here in the Philippines and I would like to believe that I'm more or less able to understand the requirements and follow the procedures in applying for a visa. But I realized that application for visa is not a walk in the park when I received my very first visa refusal (and it hurts!). What you need is strong proof that your relationship is genuine and a strategy on how you can present this effectively. In legal parlance, you need to present sufficient evidence to establish probable cause that a genuine relationship exists and convince the assigned case officer to grant the visa. And for this, DUV can indubitably give you guidance with their vast knowledge and expertise in Australia's migration laws, rules and regulations; and their experience in both its theoretical and practical application. Because of this, I highly recommend the services of DUV for tourist and partner visa to Australia!read more

I am 65 and my wife 54. I have never gone through anything like this before, I started doing the visa application myself through the Immigration website. I am so glad that i made the decision to get Downunder Visa to do it instead. I class myself as reasonably well educated but there was no way i could have done it myself. Downunders Hub page makes it very easy to know what to get and when to get it. We arent quite at the stage of applying yet but we are very close. Thank you to Jeff and his family for helping me to get my wife in my life in Australia. When you get to my age every day without her is a day we will never get to have together. I would whole heartedly recommend Downunder Visa to anyone who is considering a Tourist or Partner Visa. You will not regret it.read more

Hi, I would like to thank DUV for the Tourist Visa they got for my fiance Patricia recently; Especially Jeremy who was the one to do most of the work. Just like to add that it was good to see such good old fashioned dedicated business ethics displayed by this company, that modern times have left by the wayside. I reckon I sent a thousand emails to DUV (probably 990 to Jeremy and 10 to Jeff) and every single time the reply was sent within a few hours. think the longest I ever wait was about 6 hours. It might seem a small thing for some, but for an eccentric old Aussie buggar like myself, who values service above all... it was a very pleasing factor in my review of DUV. The other thing is... At first I was complaining to my fiance because of all the stuff DUV were asking of us. I thought, gee wizz... they are asking too much and I was mad at them. As time went by I began to see the method in the madness (for me at least) and come to grips with it all. By the end of the process, I now see that the way DUV process these Visa's is the very BEST way possible. It virtually assures you will be successful 99%. Yes, its taken us a long time, but yes also, I feel confident of success now with our pending PMV current being processed by Oz immigration. Thanks for everything guys at DUV and I take back all I said against you in the beginning (not that you knew about it lol). Keep up the good work guys, and a special thanks to Jeremy who handled most of our case. Very well done and highly recommend.read more

Hi there!
One of my teammates had the idea for the students to make their own flag. They use symbols that represent things that they like. They turned out really cute. Then they had to write about what the symbols represented. Just a thought.

SANFORD — Applications for the 2013 class of the Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI) are now being accepted.
Intended for members of the Sanford community, PLTI is a series of 20 weekly sessions on leadership training, civic literacy, and civic participation skills made available by Nellie Mae funds provided to The Safe and Healthy Sanford Coalition and the Sanford School Department. PLTI is based on the premise that family members are the best advocates for children and families in communities. Community leaders, including parents, youth, and family members, can be effective when they speak out on issues and inform policymakers, the media, and the community about the needs of their members.
From the graduates of the Class of 2012 at other PLTI sites nationwide, Peggy Ortiz states, "The sessions have shown me that I do have a voice and I'm learning to better express myself through intellect and not my emotions." Michael Pruznick shares, "My PLTI experience has been totally awesome. PLTI has helped me understand why I have previously had difficulties in advocating for issues." And Audra Montoya-Baker says, "Thanks to PLTI, I'm no longer just a single mother. I'm a family leader."
For the first time in the state of Maine, this opportunity is being offered to 25 participants in the Sanford community who are selected based on their availability and readiness to become effective change agents on behalf of children, youth and families. Previous PLTI classes in other locations have included a cross-section of people, including young adults, grandparents, single mothers, fathers, couples, those with community leadership experience, and those who are just beginning the journey of civic engagement. Selected participants will join together over the 20 weeks of training, which includes:
■ an initial all-day retreat on Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013;
■ two 10-week series of sessions on Wednesday evenings that focus on knowledge about the change process, skill building, and tools of civic engagement; and
■ the development of a personal community project.
In exchange for free registration, participants will give the commitment of time reflected in class attendance and a written community project.
For more information, or to request a hard copy application to participate in this program, contact Samantha Hansen at 207-206-1831 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
