Can Eating Breakfast Reduce Your Risk of Diabetes?
By Michael A. Smith, MD
Nutrition experts have written volumes on the benefits of "breaking the fast" — benefits like a youthful metabolism, less body fat and improved energy levels throughout your day.
Now we can add something else to this growing list of health benefits: A lower risk of developing diabetes.
And when you consider that diabetes is an epidemic in this country, this is really good news.
Why? Because all of us can and should eat breakfast!
Preliminary Study Suggests Breakfast Cuts Diabetes RiskThe study results were first made public at the 72nd Scientific Sessions of American Diabetes Association by Dr. Andrew Odegaard, public health professor at the University of Minnesota. He refers to his study as preliminary, but believes the results should prompt doctors to educate all of their pre-diabetics to eat breakfast.
Dr. Odegaard's 18-year population study included more than 5,000 men and women. None of the participants had type 2 diabetes when they entered the study. During the seventh year of the study, the participants completed diet questionnaires, including questions centered on daily eating habits. They answered questions like, "How many times a week do you eat breakfast?"
The results were pretty clear: People who reported eating breakfast everyday were less likely to be obese and to develop type 2 diabetes. Dr. Odegaard's results showed that people who reported eating breakfast everyday were:
- 34% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes
- 43% less likely to become obese
- 40% less likely to develop belly fat
- 24% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes
- 25% less likely to become obese
Please note that since people who eat breakfast are also more likely to follow other healthy habits, this study within itself certainly is NOT conclusive.
Diet & Exercise Reign SupremeOne of your best defenses against type 2 diabetes is improved diet and exercise. Although the disease has a genetic component, many studies have shown that diet and exercise can prevent it — this was best shown by the Diabetes Prevention Program Research Groups 2002 and 2003.
One study also showed that while some medications delay the development of diabetes, diet and exercise work better. Just 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity, coupled with a 5 to 10 percent reduction in body weight, produces a 58 percent reduction in the incidence of diabetes among people at risk.3
Could simply throwing breakfast into the mix result in millions of Americans leading a diabetes-free life? Possibly.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the cost benefit of screening for sickle-cell disease among infants at district health centres in Uganda using sickling, solubility tests and the peripheral blood film method.
METHODS: Pilot screening services were established at district health centres. Cost benefit analysis (CBA) was performed in four scenarios: A1 where there are no sickle-cell screening services at district health centres and all children are referred either to Mulago national referral hospital or A2 a regional hospital for haemoglobin (Hb) electrophoresis; B1 when there are screening services at district health centres, only positive samples are taken either to Mulago Hospital or B2 the regional hospital for confirmation using haemoglobin electrophoresis. Calculations were done in Uganda shillings (USh).
RESULTS: Initial operational costs were high for all scenarios but variably reduced in the subsequent years. Scenarios A1 and A2 were very sensitive compared with B1 and B2. Scenario A1 had the highest screening costs in the subsequent years, costing over 62 000 USh per test in both eastern and western Uganda. Scenario B2 was sensitive and cheaper when using the sickling test, but was expensive and insensitive when using the solubility test and more insensitive though cheaper when using the peripheral blood film method.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Screening children in Mulago hospital using haemoglobin electrophoresis (A1) was very expensive although it was sensitive. Screening the children at four health centres using the sickling method and confirming positive samples at a regional hospital (B2) was both cheap and sensitive and is therefore recommended.
Sickle-cell disease (SCD) is one of the haemoglobinopathies responsible for high morbidity and mortality among neonates in developing countries, including Uganda.1 It is therefore necessary to establish the most cost-effective screening and intervention programmes to reduce morbidity and mortality among children with SCD.2 However, most governments in developing countries, including Uganda, cannot fund all the necessary medical programmes because of scarce resources. Cost benefit analyses are therefore performed to determine which programmes or options offer the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.3,4
While some developing countries such as Jamaica and Ghana have made progress in introducing comprehensive sickle-cell screening programmes,5,6 the peripheral blood film method for screening for SCD at district health centres has been recommended in Kenya.7 In Malawi, the most cost-effective haemoglobinopathy testing methods have been recommended to be used at district hospitals.8
Since no cost benefit analysis (CBA) studies have been done on sickle-cell screening methods in Uganda, we studied the cost benefit of screening for SCD among infants at district health centres using the sickling and solubility tests and the peripheral blood film method.
Methods and materials
Pilot screening services were established using sickling and solubility tests and the peripheral blood film method at each selected health centre in each district where medical laboratory technicians had been trained. The trained technicians screened for SCD using these methods and then delivered blood samples to the Faculty of Medicine at Mulago Hospital, to be analysed using cellulose acetate membrane haemoglobin electrophoresis (gold standard).9 Each batch of assays included a negative control (haemoglobin AA) and positive control (haemoglobin SS).
CBA performed under several assumptions and different scenarios determined the benefits and/or profitability of each method. Cumulative costs in USh and benefits were compared over a 5-year period.
Analysis was based on the following assumptions:
Each of the sickle-cell screening methods established at the district health centre would be the recommended screening method for SCD.
The automated capillary haemoglobin electrophoresis system would be used in Mulago and regional hospitals as a 'gold standard'.
All children testing negative at district health centres are considered free of the disease except those who later develop symptoms.
Only children who test positive at the district health centres will have confirmatory testing, and those confirmed positive would benefit from interventions and survive.
Screening costs only, and not treatment costs, will be considered.
Persons performing these tests would also be doing routine work and would be paid a monthly salary.
Glassware not falling under consumables would be replaced in the second year.
The costs of running sickle-cell tests took into account the regional prevalence of SCD among newborn children.
The haemoglobin electrophoresis machine would depreciate at USh 11 571 750 per year, while each microscope and weighing balance would depreciate at USh 300 000 and USh 50 280 per year, respectively.
95% of children with the sickle cell trait (AS) would live a normal life, and 85% with sickle cell anemia (SS) would live to adulthood if diagnosed and appropriately treated.10
The following scenarios were used:
A1: there are no sickle-cell screening services at district health centres and regional hospitals, and all children are referred to Mulago Hospital for haemoglobin electrophoresis
A2: there are no screening services at district health centres and all children are referred to the regional hospital for haemoglobin electrophoresis
B1: there are sickle-cell screening services at district health centres and only positive samples are brought to Mulago Hospital
B2: there are screening services at district health centres and only positive samples are brought to the regional hospital for confirmation.
Technicians took an average of 38 minutes to prepare the sickling test solution and perform the test, and an average of 70 minutes to prepare working solutions and perform the solubility test. Preparing peripheral blood film method solutions and performing the test took an average of 44 minutes. Technicians took 6 minutes on average to bleed each child.
A total of 286 children were screened in eastern Uganda (March - May 2007) and 370 in western Uganda (June - August 2007). In eastern Uganda, haemoglobin electrophoresis detected 50 AS and 5 SS cases , while the sickling test demonstrated the presence of 26 AS, 5 SS, the solubility test 13 AS, 4 SS and the peripheral blood film method 7 AS and 2 SS. In the west, haemoglobin electrophoresis detected 11 AS and no SS, while the sickling test demonstrated the presence of 5 AS, the solubility test 3 AS and the peripheral smear 2 AS. Reliability was performed separately using haemoglobin electrophoresis as a gold standard, and a sample size of 200 blood samples was used. The sickling test had the highest sensitivity and specificity of 65% and 95% respectively compared with solubility, which had 45% and 90%, and peripheral blood film 35% and 96.7%, respectively.11
In scenario A1, the cost of USh 75 665 253 would be incurred in the first 3 months in eastern Uganda and USh 61 822 853 would be incurred if scenario A2 intervention activities were adopted, thereby saving USh 13 842 400. In western Uganda, USh 82 005 135 would be incurred in scenario A1 and USh 63 727 135 would in scenario A2, thereby saving USh 18 278 000 (Table I).
It would cost USh 65 991 528 using the sickling test in eastern Uganda in the first 3 months in scenario B1 and USh 65 433 528 in B2, thereby saving USh 558 000. In western Uganda USh 66 633 583 would be needed in the first 3 months in B1 and USh 65 993 583 in B2, thereby saving USh 640 000 (Table II).
Using the solubility test, USh 63 530 316 would be spent in eastern Uganda in the first 3 months under scenario B1 and USh 62 972 316 under B2 a saving of USh 558 000. In western Uganda, USh 64 128 213 would be incurred in scenario B1 and USh 63 488 213 under B2, therefore saving USh 640 000 (Table III).
Using the peripheral blood film method, it would cost USh 65 769 148 in the east in the first 3 months using scenario B1, and USh 65 211 148 in B2, thereby saving USh 558 000. In the west, USh 66 469 264 would be incurred in scenario B1 in the first 3 months, and USh 65 829 264 in B2, thereby saving 640 000 (Table IV).
These screening programmes would all save the same amount of money in the first 3 months in both eastern and western Uganda.
The costs of the screening services were projected for a period of 5 years, and it was assumed that more children with SCD would be detected and more money would be saved because the only costs incurred would be service maintenance costs. These were calculated annually on the incremental basis of 3% of the previous year's maintenance costs, since there would be an expected 3% annual increase in the general population.12 Other costs included depreciation of laboratory equipment calculated at each closing fiscal year by dividing the total cost of the equipment by its useful life years, taken as 5 years for medical equipment.13
When the sickling test is used together with the haemoglobin electrophoresis method, USh 9 565 912 would be incurred in eastern Uganda under scenario B1 and USh 7 147 912 in scenario B2 in year 1, thereby saving USh 2 418 000. In western Uganda, USh 10 920 130 would be incurred in scenario B1 and USh 8 840 130 in scenario B2, thereby saving USh 2 080 000. Using the solubility method, it would cost USh 11 766 602 in year 1 under scenario B1 and USh 9 348 602 in B2 in eastern Uganda, therefore saving USh 2 418 000. In western Uganda, a cost of USh 13 376 820 and USh 11 296 820 would be incurred in scenario B1 and B2 respectively, thereby saving USh 2 080 000. When the peripheral blood film method is used, USh 8 876 392 would be incurred in year 1 under scenario B1 and USh 6 458 392 in B2 in eastern Uganda, saving USh 2 418 000. In western Uganda, a cost of USh 10 262 854 would be incurred under scenario B1 and USh 8 182 854 under scenario B2, thereby saving USh 2 080 000. More money would be saved in the subsequent years.
Cost benefit analyses are useful to identify the cheapest interventions with highest benefits.3 This was done on the solubility and sickling tests and the peripheral blood film method to determine the most cost-effective method for screening for SCD among neonates in the districts of Uganda.
The cost-effectiveness of screening for SCD was sensitive to various variables. As expected, it was sensitive to the prevalence, cost and reliability of the screening programme. While over USh 75 million would be incurred in scenario A1 in eastern Uganda in the first 3 months and more than USh 63 million in scenario A2, 50 children with AS and 5 with SS would be detected in eastern Uganda by A1 and A2, respectively.
While more than USh 82 million would be incurred on A1 in western Uganda and 63 million in B2, only 11 children with AS would be identified by both scenarios in the first 3 months. These differences were probably due to the high prevalence of SCD in eastern Uganda and the high reliability of the haemoglobin electrophoresis method. These findings agree with studies which found that identifying sick persons in a population with low prevalence or risk of the disease was associated with very high costs.2,14 Therefore screening the population in western Uganda, which has a very low prevalence of AS and SS, using the haemoglobin electrophoresis method would not be cost effective because of the high cost of identifying these children. In eastern Uganda the same programme would cost-effectively identify many of these children.3
Whereas both the sickling test and peripheral blood film method were more expensive than the solubility test in the first 3 months because of the high costs of equipment, they subsequently became cheaper. Although scenarios B2 and B1 were not as sensitive as scenarios A1 and A2, scenario B2 demonstrated the same number of cases with SS as scenarios A1 and A2 at low cost when using the sickling test, implying that the sickling method could cheaply and reliably be used for early detection of children with haemoglobin SS. Although the peripheral blood method for sickle-cell screening at district health centres has been recommended,7 we found it insensitive but cheap.
Scenarios A1 and A2 would continue saving more money throughout the subsequent years, while in scenarios B1 and B2 the same amount of money would be saved in both eastern and western Uganda. While the reasons for this are difficult to explain, some costs were estimated and were therefore not accurate, and could have influenced the findings.
Conclusions and recommendations
Screening all children in Mulago hospital using haemoglobin electrophoresis (scenario A1) was sensitive but not cost beneficial. We recommend screening all the children at sub-district health centres by means of the sickling method and confirming only positive samples at a regional hospital (B2), as it was the most cost-effective intervention.

WSJ - Geithner - My Plan for Bad Assets…My Comments: First of all, the FDIC is broke and has no money. All money must be printed in some form. The "private party" investors drive up the cost of clearing these assets. They do not share in proportion as do the taxpayers who I guarantee will not profit overall from this program. "Open to pension funds?!" You have got to be kidding me. That is in no way an appropriate investment for my retirement funds, thanks. That has a particularly foul aroma. I've also heard talk to open up a toxic waste ETF so that average Joes can participate. Gee, could it be that he couldn't find enough hedgefunds?
The funds established under this program will have three essential design features. First, they will use government resources in the form of capital from the Treasury, and financing from the FDIC and Federal Reserve, to mobilize capital from private investors. Second, the Public-Private Investment Program will ensure that private-sector participants share the risks alongside the taxpayer, and that the taxpayer shares in the profits from these investments. These funds will be open to investors of all types, such as pension funds, so that a broad range of Americans can participate.
Third, private-sector purchasers will establish the value of the loans and securities purchased under the program, which will protect the government from overpaying for these assets.My Comments: LOL, love that one. Yes, we will be overpaying. Any amount over the current market price is overpaying. We are supplying money to a host of bidders to all bid against the same assets. That means that we are bidding AGAINST OURSELVES, of course we will overpay. He obviously is taking the American people for fools, and I can't imagine why?
The new Public-Private Investment Program will initially provide financing for $500 billion with the potential to expand up to $1 trillion over time, which is a substantial share of real-estate related assets originated before the recession that are now clogging our financial system. Over time, by providing a market for these assets that does not now exist, this program will help improve asset values, increase lending capacity by banks, and reduce uncertainty about the scale of losses on bank balance sheets. The ability to sell assets to this fund will make it easier for banks to raise private capital, which will accelerate their ability to replace the capital investments provided by the Treasury.Let me translate… We are taking your dollars and giving them to middle men who will bid up the value of the toxic waste held by the bankers. Thus we will drive up the value of the assets ensuring that the taxpayer overpays. The middle men will drive the cost up further by taking a cut, and will make it easier for the people who caused this problem to escape. We know, of course, that the banks won't lend anymore to people who are already saturated with debt, but we don't really care, that's just our cover.
We're saved!

January 14, 2015 – January is Poverty in America Awareness Month and it is more than just a month-long acknowledgement for me. It is what drives me to work at Food Bank For New York City, and what has always motivated me to do more than lament the crisis from the sidelines. Before coming to Food Bank last month, I spent five years working at one of our member charities, Metro World Child (MWC), where I sourced, developed and maintained their mobile pantry and snack distributions for more than 20,000 children throughout the five boroughs.
While at MWC it was personally important for me to have a very direct impact on the lives of the people we served. Volunteering allowed me to foster relationships with approximately 125 children and their families through MWC's mentorship program and other initiatives.
It was this work that created in me an "I get to" mentality. Whether sitting in court during neglect hearings on behalf of parents who were doing everything in their power to ensure that their kids had food and clothes, or teaching families how to make healthy eating choices when nutritious items were often beyond their budget, I fell in love with these children and their families. They adopted me as auntie or godmother, and in some cases, as the stand-in mother at plays, basketball and football games, and parent/teacher conferences. Those experiences made me realize that I don't just do this work, "I get to" do this work. It's an honor that I cherish.
The past five years laid the foundation for a life dedicated to doing whatever I can to make a difference for vulnerable people in my community. Becoming a Food Banker as Manager of Member Services is the best way I can think of to further the fight against hunger in our city. I can now help serve the network to which I once belonged. Being a Food Banker allows me the platform to make recommendations and create protocols that benefit the specific needs of the food pantries and soup kitchens in our network, while creating a more efficient and empowering environment for the guests who visit our charities.
My passion and experience is what brought me to Food Bank For New York City, and the children that I have the privilege of continuing to volunteer with today are what motivate me for a lifetime of service to this cause.

Clean Energy for All: Strategies for Expanding Access in the Developing Worldby and -
This is a two-part series on expanding access to clean energy in developing countries. Check out the first installment.
Accessing reliable energy is one of the greatest obstacles the developing world faces. Globally, about 1.3 billion people go without electricity, while 2.7 billion lack modern energy services. Providing these populations with energy is difficult—ensuring that generation occurs in environmentally sustainable and cost-effective ways makes the task significantly more challenging.
Expanding clean energy access has been a big part of the conversations during this week's Asian Clean Energy Forum, organized by the Asian Development Bank and USAID in partnership with WRI. The talks mirror discussions that clean energy project developers and financiers had at a March 2012 workshop that was organized by WRI and the DOEN Foundation. Knowledge from this group and demonstration of their business models showcase the key elements to in implementing successful clean energy projects.
Innovative Approaches to Implementing Clean Energy Projects:
Understanding the consumer: energy needs, preferences, and capacity to pay: Energy consumers are a diverse group that requires different products, services, and payment schemes depending on cultural practices, income, cost of existing energy services, geography, and other factors. Gathering this information and incorporating it into project designs is best accomplished through direct interaction with target consumers. Frontier Markets is one such enterprise that attributes its success to a solid understanding of consumer needs. Their business model contains a research phase, sales component, customer service, data analytics, and customer feedback. Frontier Markets also conducts focus groups to gather feedback on products' benefits and limitations. Because of this approach, the enterprise expanded a new line of fans due to consumer demand for a means to cool off during hot days.
Demonstrating the value of a new technology or energy service delivery model: Impoverished energy consumers need to be savvy investors due to limited budgets. Many enterprises believe they must offer products and services that provide increased value or replace an existing service without raising a household's energy budget. Though ideally the purchase of a new product or service will be based on economic considerations, energy consumers are also motivated by improvements to their quality of life, such as a cleaner or smoke-free homes, convenience, and time savings. For example, Frontier Markets demonstrates the value of its solar technologies in a very tangible way. The company brings mobile solar phone charging kiosks from village to village to raise awareness and prove that the technology works.
Building trust in the product and supply chain: Because low-income households tend to be risk-adverse, building trust in clean energy products and services is critical to reaching underserved consumers. Husk Power Systems builds consumer trust by conducting monitoring, checking in on its plants remotely to ensure smooth operations, and using smart meters to reduce the possibility of error with measuring energy consumption. Husk also employs and trains local personnel to manage and operate its power plants. In addition to engaging with and benefitting local communities, this practice saves money for Husk and its customers. Mali Folkecenter builds trust by implementing community engagement practices like leadership building and education. The company works with established farmer cooperatives to improve awareness of how the use of clean energy can add value to their work and lives. This process allows Mali Folkecenter to promote its reputation as a trustworthy partner among rural communties, not just as a renewable energy provider, but as a supporter of income generation and poverty reduction.
Replicating familiar energy payment schedules: Even modestly priced clean energy services can be prohibitive for low-income energy consumers, who are often used to purchasing energy in small increments. Simpa Networks aims to make energy more affordable by imitating mobile phone payment schemes, a pricing model that matches consumers' energy consumption patterns and variable cash flows. A key to their approach is a "pay-as-you-go" model for solar power. Consumers make a small, upfront payment to have the system installed, and then pay for service as it is consumed. Much like a pre-paid cell phone, the system delivers energy when the consumer has an energy credit balance and shuts off when credits are exhausted.
How Governments and International Organizations Can Help
Socially oriented energy enterprises like those mentioned above have also identified a number of gaps and needs for expanding access to clean energy – many of which could be filled by national governments and the international community. We encourage international energy access efforts like Norway's Energy+ Partnership and the United Nations Secretary General's Sustainable Energy for All Initiative (SE4ALL) to learn from the experiences of these enterprises, incorporate on-the-ground voices into initiative designs, and support the set-up, start-up, and scale-up of energy solutions:
Set-up: International initiatives should work to develop an encouraging investment environment by facilitating access to enterprise capital and setting up enabling conditions, including support for energy sector strategies and institutional capacity building.
Start-up: Encourage energy service providers to enter the market by providing clear market analysis and risk assessment information, transparent policy information, and training of entrepreneurs. International initiatives should also create standards for product certification and labeling. These standards should be complemented with appropriate ways to measure progress and success, beyond just the number of households reached.
Scale-up: International initiatives can help develop a growth strategy that enables on-the-ground entrepreneurs to reach deeper into consumer markets (through consumer financing and producer financing), spread geographically, and create partnerships to overcome barriers.
The final aspect of growing the clean energy sector is to forge partnerships that bring together the knowledge, skills, and capacity of various stakeholders to jointly overcome remaining barriers. The international community can support this by funding a stable and unified platform for knowledge management and partnership-building. This week's Asia Clean Energy Forum is a great start: With Energy for All as a central theme, 850 participants are networking and sharing ideas on how to address the energy access challenge. However, participants are expressing a desire for international actors to bridge the gap between investors and entrepreneurs and bring their voices into international policy. The UN's declaration of 2012 as the Year of Sustainable Energy for All and the launch of the Sustainable Energy for All Initiative provide an ideal opportunity to organize a more formal association that can facilitate learning and partnerships, but also move the global policy agenda forward.

Edwardsville, Illinois – July 26, 2012 -- Illinois Heartland Library System (IHLS) has chosen Polaris Library Systems of Syracuse, N.Y., to provide its next ILS system. On Wednesday, Leslie Bednar, Executive Director of IHLS met with Bill Schickling and Jodi Bellenger of Polaris to sign the contract.
Illinois Heartland Library System covers 28,141 square miles in the southern half of Illinois. It is comprised of four former library systems (Lewis & Clark, Lincoln Trail, Rolling Prairie, and Shawnee). Before the merger on July 1, 2011, staff members and the LLSAP4 Working Group had already begun working on merging four separate automation systems into one. Early next year all of their automated libraries will share the same database and catalog to become THE largest library consortia in the country: SHARE (Sharing Heartland's Available Resources Equally) powered by Polaris Library Systems of Syracuse, N.Y.
The LLSAP4 Working Group, a group consisting of the four LLSAP managers and four directors from member libraries, reviewed and evaluated 7 vendor responses and chose 2 top finalists – Polaris and SirsiDynixSymphony. The demos were held at the Keller Convention Center in Effingham so the 2 top finalists could showcase their products to the membership. Members were able to attend either in-person or via live streaming, which was also recorded for later viewing by any IHLS automation member.
Polaris not only met the software requirements, but exceeded the expectations of what IHLS was looking for. "I think that one of the things that really impressed me with Polaris is that they have a fully functional web-based client. Their interface is very user friendly and very intuitive. It was also very clear at the Demo that their entire staff was familiar with the software and could answer difficult questions. However, the thing I love the best is Polaris' Inventory tool! It is awesome and I can't wait to implement it after we go live." – Esther Curry, Assistant Library Director, C.E. Brehm Memorial Public Library District
"We are looking forward to our relationship with a software developer that puts the end user [library patrons] first." Leslie Bednar, Director IHLS "It will be wonderful to see our member libraries and their patrons benefit from that relationship with Polaris."
"We are excited about the opportunity to partner with and provide support for IHLS libraries and their patrons." Bill Schickling, President and CEO, Polaris Library Systems.
Approximately 450 libraries belong to the IHLS SHARE automation group. Patrons of those libraries will have access to almost 10 million books, DVDs, CDs, and magazines from any other library in the SHARE system. The online public catalog will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
IHLS and Polaris are now working together on the schedule for the migration of library records from the current systems (elCat, GateNet, LINC, and SilNet) to the new platform (SHARE) and will schedule staff training early in 2013.
"When we began the merger process of the 4 heritage system libraries into the Illinois Heartland Library System two years ago, one of the things we promised was an integrated catalog and the ability to share materials across the entire single system. We have now accomplished the signing of the contract for Polaris and look forward to the implementation of the product for our system libraries in the spring of 2013. We are on our way!" Karen Bounds, IHLS Board President, Librarian, Centralia High School
"We accept this implementation won't be without its hiccups so it is a great feeling to know Polaris is dedicated to ensuring this product works the way we need it to. Their suggestions from the time of demos in regards to how the infrastructure could be better managed, the dedication of the team they put together to bid, the staff we have worked with at preliminary meetings, etc. All of it makes me believe that they are in this to make it work." Jill Pifer, Director, Fairview Heights Library
More information on the software migration can be found on: http://migration.illinoisheartland.org
"In the words of Henry Ford 'Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.' The merging of the four southern systems was our beginning. Deciding to have one LLSAP was our progress. With the selection of Polaris, we have reached success and look forward to the continued success of SHARE." -Diane Yeoman, Director, Mason City Public Library District & Librarian, Illini Central School District #189

1st thing you need to do is give us the url to your list...lol
I have a lady that has tried on numerous ocassions to add her banner. It will appear for a while and then disappear? When I approve the changes it is there and after a few hours is not? What is it that I need to do?
1st thing you need to do is give us the url to your list...lol
and the id or username of the account
How many banners does your site display?
The list is ChurchMouse Designs Top 100 Sites
The site(s) Angela's Daughter & Rainyday Wear
Can you email the 2 banners to support (at) gotop100.com so I can figure out what's happening?
I don't know if you have fixed your problem yet, but I thought I would post this just in case.
I noticed when I went to your site and looked for the member's banner that it still wasn't showing up. When I right clicked on the banner and selected properties, it showed the banner's link.
The link for this banner has an _ in it. What I have noticed (and I may be wrong) is that banner links with underscores in them tend to act up on the Go Top 100 pages.
See if you member can rename the banner and either provide a different link or upload it into her member page.
Hope this helps!

On July 1 of this year, Spain drubbed Italy 4-0 to win Euro 2012 and many were talking about the team being the best ever. Less than a month later, this goal from Honduras—less than 10 minutes into the match—eliminated Spain from the Olympics. They will return home after group play concludes on Wednesday.
Spain had hoped to hold three major titles at once after winning the 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Championship. But the country will go home without a chance to compete for a medal after it plays its last match against Morocco on Wednesday in Manchester. And if it doesn't score, it will also return without a goal, after losing 1-0 to Japan on Thursday.

New Mexico expands Medicaid program
170,000 more New Mexicans could soon have health insurance
Gov. Susana Martinez announced the expansion of the state's Medicaid system, meaning many New Mexicans could soon have federally funded insurance.
It's an unusual move for a Republican governor to accept President Barack Obama's offer to expand Medicaid, but the move means up to 170,000 more New Mexicans could soon have health insurance.
The announcement on Wednesday elicited a standing ovation.
"We will be expanding the Medicaid safety net in the state of New Mexico," Martinez said.
Martinez said she decided it was in the state's best interest agree to the expansion.
"Most (of those now eligible are) adults who earn $15,400 or less per year," Martinez said.
The expansion is part of the president's health care reform. The federal government will cover 100 percent of the expansion for the first three years. By 2020, New Mexicans will foot 10 percent of the bill.
By her calculations, Martinez said, the state might actually gain revenue from offering insurance to so many more people because it brings more money to the medical industry.
"It does appear to be clear that expanding Medicaid would not jeopardize the state's long-term budget outlook," Martinez said.
New Mexico will join at least 15 other states and the District of Columbia in broadening eligibility for the health care program under terms of a health care overhaul championed by President Obama.
About a fourth of New Mexico's population currently receives health care through Medicaid, but the program mostly covers uninsured children in low-income families along with the disabled and some extremely low-income adults.
The expansion in 2014 will make adults eligible with an income of about $26,000 for a family of three or $15,400 for an individual.

ABOUT thinking theology What is 'Thinking Theology'? Thinking Theology gatherings provide space to reflect on what the Bible has to say about the pursuit of justice and the way in which Christians do development work. We believe that our theology shapes who we are and how we live as disciples, and that it should guide our work as well. The gatherings aim to support theologians, church leaders and other Christian leaders working in relief and development, helping to envision and equip them for holistic mission. Who are the organisers? Thinking Theology gatherings are coordinated by Tearfund. Who are Thinking Theology gatherings for? Whether you're involved in church ministry, working for an NGO, or teaching or studying theology - Thinking Theology gatherings are for you. ABOUT THINKING THEOLOGY: HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE The 'Thinking Theology: Human trafficking and sexual violence' gathering took place between 15 and 18 November 2016. The five-day gathering brought together 111 participants from seven different countries and featured plenary sessions, workshops and group discussions. The gathering was organised by Tearfund with the aim of creating a space where people could explore theological ideas and issues that are related to human trafficking and sexual violence. Human trafficking and sexual violence are often hidden issues within communities. Nearly two-thirds of human trafficking victims are from Asia. This space served as a way of inspiring and supporting the global church to take action to prevent, challenge and end human trafficking and sexual violence. It also provided an opportunity for shared learning to take place; participants were able to learn lessons from the experiences of others who are working to prevent, challenge and end human trafficking and sexual violence in their individual contexts. Speakers included: Elaine Storkey - English theologian, philosopher and sociologist. Nikki Toyama-Szeto - director of the International Justice Mission (IJM)'s Institute for Biblical Justice. Prabu Deepan - human rights activist and practitioner based in Sri Lanka. He currently leads the evidence-based work being carried out by Tearfund's Sexual and Gender-based Violence (SGBV) team around engaging men and boys in positive masculinities and gender equality. learning resources This gathering report (PDF 632 KB) details key learning points from all of the sessions.

from an email...
Have you ever wondered which hurts the most? Saying something and wishing you hadn't?, or Saying nothing and wishing you had? I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say.Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them. If you do, they might break your heart...if you don't, you might break theirs.
Have u ever decided not 2 become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with that person? Your heart decides whom it likes and whom it doesn't. You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own........when you least suspect it, or even when you don't want it to.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that other person was too afraid to let you? Too many of us stay walled up because we are too afraid to care too much...for fear that the other person does not care as much, or even at all.
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle? We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger. Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have done, or could, have had.

Q: I'm undergoing chemo, and though I am experiencing heavy-duty fatigue, I am also suffering from insomnia! Sometimes it's hard to fall asleep; other nights I wake up around 3 a.m. for an hour or two. My medical oncologist said chemo can disrupt the sleep-wake cycle and prescribed Ambien. I don't like the idea of relying on a sleeping pill. Anything else I can do?
Answer from Miles Hassell, M.D., director of Providence Integrative Medicine at Providence Cancer Center:
Doctors who specialize in sleep disorders are fans of Ambien because it induces a deep, high quality sleep for about seven or eight hours. A different drug, Sonata, is shorter-acting and intended to help you get back to sleep in the middle of the night.
But you're right: All sleep agents are short-term solutions and tend to lose their effectiveness over time. It's smart to look at the whole picture. The first step is to deal with any other factors that might be interfering with sleep. Here's a checklist:
If you are still up with the owls, other strategies can help you sleep. Note, these are suggestions, not sure-fire solutions. Some may help, some may do nothing, and some may even worsen your sleep. So, you need to be ready for some trial and error.
Exercise. To help with disturbed sleep, I especially recommend exercising outdoors, in the morning. Many patients don't exercise at all during chemo, but almost everyone has the ability to walk for 10 minutes, three times a day. The target is a total of 30-60 minutes of daily activity. Studies show that patients who exercise during chemotherapy have less trouble with anemia, better white cell counts and improved mood.
Exercise also improves sleep. Moving fast enough to work up a sweat is ideal but not critical. Just keep moving at whatever pace you can. One warning: For some people, exercising in the late evening upsets their sleep. Others feel great after a late evening walk. Experiment.
Calms Forte. This is a homeopathic sleep aid that does the trick for many people, though not everyone. I don't know how it works, but it is inexpensive and dead safe. It's available at natural foods stores.
Melatonin. In my experience, melatonin – a hormone involved in the sleep/wake cycle is particularly useful for patients age 60 and older. Studies suggest taking anywhere from 3 mg to 20 mg of melatonin at bedtime. Start with 3 mg. a dose, two or three hours before bedtime. If it's going to work for you, you should feel the effect within a few days.
If you find you're sleeping better, you might get by on a smaller dose. If you're not sleeping better, try doubling the dose for a few days. Warning: As with Ambien, a small group of people can feel wired on melatonin.
Valerian. Valerian, a plant with sedative effects, is available in pills, tinctures and ground root. Taking 160 mg-600 mg one hour before bedtime appears safe and effective. Check the label for "standardized extract"; you'll have a greater chance of being a good quality herb. I recommend the 600 mg dose; you can experiment with a lower dose if it works. You can also make a tea using 15-20 drops of a 1:5 tincture or with one teaspoon of the ground root. By using capsules, you avoid valerian's peculiar smell that may be noticeable in the tincture or ground root. It is an ingredient in Sleepytime Extra tea, but its 25 mg is a very small amount.
A little nip. While alcohol can mess up sleep, for some people, a tiny amount at bedtime sends them to dreamland. Try a ¼-½ serving of wine or sherry.
Bedtime snack. I haven't seen research on this, but I often see it work with my patients. Food in your tummy seems to have a calming effect. Sip a cup of warm milk; warm milk contains calcium, proteins and tryptophan, an essential amino acid that plays a role in relaxation and sleep. Some people make a hot milk nightcap by adding a quarter-shot of their favorite liqueur. Sprinkle nutritional yeast on popcorn; the yeast is rich in B vitamins and proteins, which also have a hand in drowsiness. Try peanut or almond butter on whole-grain bread, or a handful of almonds with a piece of fruit: The combination of carbohydrate and fat evens out the blood sugar. Cancer patients particularly benefit from a power yogurt sundae: plain yogurt high in beneficial bacteria (I recommend Nancy's brand) mixed with quality blueberry or raspberry jam and two tablespoons of ground flaxseed.
You may wonder about products such as Tylenol PM, Excedrin PM or Sominex. The "PM" part is diphenyhydramine, which you may know as Benadryl. Diphenyhydramine is an antihistamine that also has a sedating effect on the central nervous system. When sleep experts measure brain waves of patients using these products, they are not having good quality sleep; yet I talk with many people for whom it works well. I don't recommend it, but practice still beats theory. Another caution: For the elderly, diphenyhydramine can cause bowel problems, increase risk of falls and cause confusion and difficulty with urination.
If you do wake up, shake off any agitation about not being able to sleep. Get up, keep the lights low, tell yourself, "This, too, shall pass," and do something pleasant and relaxing. Read a book, make a snack, knit – and after 45 minutes or an hour, give bed another try.

News analysis: Scott Brown, Elizabeth Warren have illuminating stumbles in second Senate debate
LOWELL — The second debate between Senator Scott Brown and Democrat challenger Elizabeth Warren featured a lot of friction but not much new illumination, lacking a game-changing moment even if it was marked by two stumbles that illustrate lingering challenges for each candidate.
For Brown, the Republican incumbent, it came when his careful efforts to modulate his apparent dislike for Warren slipped and he asked her to stop interrupting.
"Excuse me, I'm not a student in your classroom,'' he told the Harvard Law School professor.
The tartness stirred boos from Warren supporters in the crowd of some 5,700 at the University of Massachusetts Lowell's Tsongas Center, a huge audience that gave Brown and Warren the aura of gladiators as they squared off on the arena floor.
It also was unlikely to wear well with viewers of their first debate on Sept. 20, many of whom remarked that Brown was too hot-headed in that encounter. Both occasions have fueled questions about Brown's true temperament, and whether his carefully honed nice-guy, everyman image is just that, an image.
Yet Warren raised questions about her own authenticity, although not in response to another series of opening questions about her Native American heritage.
She countered them with perhaps her best explanation yet of the campaign, saying, at root, the issue is not whether she has a character flaw, as Brown has suggested. He has accused her of using unjustified claims of minority status to advance her academic career.
"You know, I think character is how you live your life,'' Warren told moderator David Gregory, host of NBC's "Meet the Press.''
"I am the daughter of a janitor who ended up as a professor at Harvard Law School and working for the president of the United States,'' she said. "I have taught school, I have taught generations of students, and I hope occasionally inspired a few of them. And I have worked hard for 30 years to make the legal system just a little bit fairer for people.''
When Gregory pressed her for regrets, Warren said: "You know, I wish I had been faster in answering the question. But the truth is the truth.''
For Warren, though, her authenticity as a candidate — or at the very least, her articulateness — was drawn into question when she was asked to rebut the suggestion she would be overtly partisan as a senator by naming which Republican colleagues she might be able to work with in the Senate.
She immediately named Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, even though he is leaving Congress in January after being beaten in his own party primary earlier this year. Brown and Gregory replied in unison, "He's not going to be there.''
Warren then backpedaled, saying, "But he's not going to be there, and that's a problem.''
She then tried to right herself by avoiding specifics and saying, "It depends on what the subject matter is.''
That fueled Brown's argument that in an overtly partisan political landscape that has exasperated and turned off many voters, he is a more bipartisan figure than Warren, putting aside, that is, his choice of ultraconservative Antonin Scalia when asked to name his model Supreme Court Justice — a moment that again elicited boos from liberals in the audience.
Warren, he said repeatedly, would be less likely than he to cross the aisle and work with the rival party.
"With regard to working with any person on the opposite side of the aisle, she couldn't reference one person except for someone who is retiring, a truly bipartisan gentleman, Senator Lugar. I have a history since Day One,'' Brown said.
Most recent polls have shown Warren with a slight lead over Brown, not an especially good place for him given that Democrats are counting on big turnout on Election Day with President Obama on the top of the ticket.
As he did throughout the debate, Brown focused on Warren's character as a means to disqualify her from taking his seat. Yet Warren did not lack ammunition to respond.
Both Gregory in his questioning, and Warren in her counterattacks, forced Brown to explain how — with the security of a full, six-year Senate term, and the Republican Senate and White House he seeks — he would retain his bipartisan character.
In two cases, his explanations strained credibility against the clear realities of party life in Washington.
First, asked if he would support Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to be majority leader in the Senate, Brown replied, "I have already let it be very clearly known to Mitch McConnell that I'm completely disgusted by what's going on down there. And he has a lot of work to do to earn my vote.''
The truth, though, is that McConnell's name will be the only one on his party's ballot.
And when asked if he would support the economic plan rolled out by a hypothetical President Mitt Romney, Brown also tried to maintain an unlikely distance from his party's leader. "I want to read them, see how they affect Massachusetts, our country, and our deficit, and vote,'' he replied.
For Brown the Republican to win enough votes in what remains heavily Democratic Massachusetts, he has to convince a lot of voters he is sincere in those statements.

Revision as of 13:34, 18 May 2016
The printer in each of the public student labs (aquariums) is called st. The st printers are managed by the Mafil company and can be used by everyone. See Mafil printers below.
The following CSE Mafil printers are also available:
|Room A319
|Room A419
|Room B317
|Room A519
|Room B419
|Room B519
|mafil color
|Room B319
These CSE Mafil printers can be used only by members of staff, or other users who have been granted quota. See Print quota below.
Which printer?
All undergraduate (stud) UNIX accounts are configured to use the st mafil printers in the student's labs(aquariums). Other users can print to Mafil printers located in the shelters on each floor.
Print utilities
The following print utilities exist:
- lpr - print
- lprm - remove jobs that have not yet printed
- lpq - list jobs
- lpin - change Mafil ID number
- lprelease - release jobs queued on an intermediate printer to the Mafil printer
All print utilities provide help, if given the --help flag.
Mafil printers
Jobs sent to printer st can be printed on any Mafil printer in public student labs(aquariums). In order to print a job, the user must either swipe a credit card or insert a special Mafil card into the device next to the printer. He will then be requested to enter an ID number. A user's Mafil ID number is initially his Mispar Zehut, but it can be changed using the lpin utility. If the user has sent more than one job, he will be able to choose which of the jobs he wishes to print. Unprinted jobs are discarded after 8 hours.
In case of a problem with any of the Mafil printers, mail system or, if urgent, call 84195, 85298, 85521, 85691, 85692, 85693, 86156 or 86942.
The Mafil controller displays the time that the job was received (hour, minute and second are separated by round closing bracket), followed by the word job followed by the job number listed by command lpq. The time shown by the controller may be a second or two later than the time shown by lpq.
Mafil cards can be bought from a dispensing machine located in Levy. Mafil cards are transferable. The number of pages remaining on the card is show both before and after the job is printed.
Credit card accounts are debited each day for each job printed.
The price per printed side (currently 20 agurot) is shown before the job is printed. A job can be canceled whilst it is printing. Only the number of pages actually printed is charged. If a card is forcibly removed whilst a job is printing, it may happen that an extra page is charged.
Print utility quirks
The lprm utility does not work for jobs sent to the Mafil printers. If lprm may be needed, jobs should instead be sent to the rest printer and, at a later time, released to the st printer using the lprelease utility.
The lpq utility continues to list jobs sent to Mafil printers, even after they have been printed. Only jobs sent over the previous 8 hours are listed. By default, only the user's own jobs are listed.
Print quota
Members of staff can always print on CSE Mafil printers. All other users can print only if they have been allocated quota (and have sufficient quota for the job). Quota is normally allocated only by special request of a member of faculty. The request should state the number of pages to be allocated. The member of faculty should request a print quota for his students from his/her Research Grants Administrator(3rd floor).
How to print
Student public labs
1) Jobs are sent to the printer using the lpr utility. Most printers can print only PostScript and Text files. (Of the public printers, gr, cps, ps4 and l5 can print also PDF files.) Document viewers e.g. firefox and acroread, convert a document to PostScript before piping to lpr. Various command line utilities are also available for converting to PostScript e.g. enscript and a2ps for Text, and pdf2ps for PDF. Other utilities manipulate a PostScript file e.g mpage can put multiple pages on one physical page. Document viewers for PostScript include gs and gv.
mpage -2A file.ps | gs - pdf2ps file.pdf | mpage -2A | lpr
2)CSE Mafil printers located in the shelters on each floor.
a) Send a job to the Mafil printer. b) Access any CSE MAfil printer. Swipe your magnetic card(which opens the doors) at the right side of the controller of the printer. c) Choose Print or Job List.
d) Choose the print job to print and press printer icon in the corner
Mafil test printing at 4th floor building A
In order to print on the new Mafil printer at A4:
1.Linux users of CS computers should reboot their computer. The printer will be added to the options of graphical printing interface.
2. Windows users of CS computers need to have admin permissions to add the printer, so get in touch with firstname.lastname@example.com ( phone 94528). Or if you have admin permissions download and install the file [1]

Jewish Community Center Association (JCCA)
*The Barshop JCC is a beneficiary agency of the Jewish Federation of San Antonio and a member of the Jewish Community Centers Association of North America.
Throughout the year, certain Jewish holidays will affect Center hours; please refer to the atypical holiday hours schedules. All Jewish holidays begin at sundown the night before the first day of the holiday (referred to as "Erev"). There are also Jewish holidays that may not affect Center hours but are significant and often acknowledged and celebrated. Below is a brief overview of the Jewish holidays.
Rosh HaShanah (New Year)
The Jewish New Year occurs on the first and second days of the Hebrew month of Tishri. In Hebrew, Rosh HaShanah means, literally, "head of the year." The New Year is a joyous remembrance of the creation of the world, as well as a solemn time of reconciliation and confronting the past year. Just as many Americans use January 1st as a time to make resolutions, likewise the Jewish New Year is a time of introspection, looking back at mistakes of the past year and planning changes to make in the New Year.
A popular observance during this holiday is eating apples dipped in honey, a symbol of our wish for a sweet new year. There is a custom of sending friends and relatives New Year's cards with special wishes for a happy and peaceful year and the greeting, Shanah Tovah (Happy New Year).
Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement)
The day of Yom Kippur is the most solemn day of the fall Jewish holiday period. It is traditional to fast from sunset to sundown and spend the day in quiet contemplation and prayer. It is traditional to ask for forgiveness from those one has wronged and extend the greeting G'mar Chatimah Tovah (may you be sealed in for a good year). The day ends at sundown with a festive break of the fast in the synagogue or at home.
Sukkot (Fall Harvest Festival)
This is both an agricultural and historical festival. Agriculturally, the holiday celebrates the final gathering of fruit and produce of the year. Historically, it represents the journey of the Jewish people through the desert after the exodus from Egypt, during which time people lived in sukkot (booths such as temporary shelter assembled in the picnic table area earlier this year). Meals are eaten inside this hut, which is decorated with palm branches and hanging fruit.
Shemini Atzeret (Rain Holiday)
This is a festival day at the end of Sukkot. It marks the end of the harvest season with prayers for just the right amount of rain in the coming year.
Simchat Torah (Rejoicing for the Torah)
This holiday caps off the Jewish Holiday season, when the Jewish Community ends its cycle of public Torah readings (the Torah is the Old Testament) and promptly begins again. The concluding passage retells the death of Moses in the last chapter of Deuteronomy, and is immediately followed with the first chapter of Genesis, which recounts the worlds creation. As part of the celebration, Torah scrolls are removed from the ark and accompanied by the dancing and singing of the congregants in circles around the synagogue. The cycle of readings, moving from end to beginning, is symbolic of unending Torah learning.
Chanukah (Festival of Lights)
Around 165 B.C.E., Judah the Maccabbee led a victorious revolt against the Syrian Greeks who occupied Israel. When the Maccabbees went to rededicate the temple, there was only enough oil for one day. Miraculously, it lasted for eight days. The tone of this holiday is a festive one, and the only special ritual is to kindle the lights for eight days. Foods made with oil are eaten, especially potato pancakes and doughnuts, and dreidel games are played. It is also common for gifts to be exchanged on each night.
The Barshop JCC typically celebrates Chanukah with our Hands on Chanukah celebration.
Tu B'Shevat (New Year of the Trees)
Tu B'Shevat is the 15th day of Shevat on the Hebrew calendar. The celebration is known as the birthday of the trees. In Israel, it is a popular day for tree planting, while in the Diaspora (Jewish communities outside of Israel) the day is marked with festival meals with fruits and nuts, and by planting either trees or plants.
Purim (Feast of Lots)
Purim comes on the 14th day of the Jewish month of Adar and is the most festive of the Jewish holidays. The holiday celebrates the liberation of the Jews of Persia, as recounted in the Biblical book of Esther. The main feature of Purim is the reading and discussion of the Megillah (a special scroll of parchment), generally referred to as "The Book of Esther". It is customary to dress in costume, give to charity, and give edible gifts to family and friends. The scroll of Esther retells the tale of a woman who, through her beauty and intelligence, captures the heart of the enemy and thereby saves her people from catastrophe. Wrong was righted and everyone joined together in jubilant celebration.
Passover (Springtime Festival of Freedom)
Passover is our Springtime Freedom Festival. At this time of year, we remember our escape (with Moses as our leader) from slavery in Egypt to freedom in Israel. Our celebration of Passover (Pesach) takes place in the home. The ritual dinner, which includes Matzah and other special foods, is called a "Seder". It is a time of remembrance and thanksgiving. The traditional book that we use at the Seder is called the "Haggadah". It tells of our history, explains the ritual of the Seder, and has fables, songs, stories and prayers. Passover is not only about the past. Many people in the world are still not free. We cherish our gift of freedom and support efforts for everyone to live in a free world.
Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day)
Jews all over the world mourn the loss of six million Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust as part of Hitler's genocidal "Final Solution."
Yom HaZikaron (Israel Memorial Day)
On this Memorial Day, we commemorate the soldiers who have fallen fighting for Israel's independence and defending its security. This holiday falls the day before Israel Independence Day. In this way, a day of solemn commemoration can be followed by joyous celebration and song.
Yom Ha'atzmut (Israel Independence Day)
Israel's Independence Day is celebrated on the fifth day of the month of Iyar, which is the anniversary of the Hebrew date of the formal establishment of the State of Israel. On this date in 1948, members of a provisional government signed a Declaration of Independence in Tel Aviv. Israelis celebrate Yom Ha'atzmaut with both official ceremonies and more casual picnics and neighborhood gatherings. In the U.S., community-wide events are a way to express solidarity with Israel by having a celebration filled with Israel food, music and culture.
Lag B'Omer (33rd Day of the Omer)
This festive outdoor holiday is celebrated on the 33rd day of the "Omer" (a measure of barley) which is the period between Passover and Shavuot. Every night from the second night of Passover to the night before Shavuot, we recite a blessing and state the count of the Omer in both weeks and days. The counting is intended to remind us of the link between Passover, which commemorates the Exodus, and Shavuot, which commemorates the giving of the Torah.
Shavuot (The Festival of Weeks)
Shavuot is the holiday celebration of the giving of the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) from God to Moses. The celebration of Shavuot is also the Festival of the First Fruits and Grains—the fulfillment of the promise of spring. The holiday is celebrated with special services in the synagogues and by partaking of dairy foods, especially blintzes. In the synagogue, the Ten Commandments and the story of Ruth are read. Many synagogues hold confirmation (graduation) ceremonies on or near Shavuot. Synagogues and Jewish institutions decorate with flowers and greenery at this time.
Tish B'Av (The Fast of the 9th Day of Av)
An important fast day in the Jewish calendar is Tisha B'Av, the 9th day of the month of Av. On that day in the year 586 BCE, the Babylonians, led by King Nebuchadnezzar, besieged the Temple in Jerusalem and burned it to the ground. On that same day 656 years later (70 CE) the Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans. Like Yom Kippur, fasting on Tisha B'Av begins on the evening of the night before the day itself and ends at nightfall twenty-five hours later.
Tu B'Av (The Day of Love)
Held six days after the solemn fast day of Tisha B'Av comes a festival celebrating love! In ancient times, under the light of the full moon, women wishing to marry would wear white garments, (so none would know who was rich or poor) and dance outside the Jerusalem city walls. Suitors-or so it was hoped- would dance after them. Today in Israel, Tu B'Av is occasion for a popular music festival on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. In the Jewish world, both in and outside of Israel, it is a day to celebrate love and friendship. This holiday marks the six week point from the Jewish year and is the last holiday of the Jewish calendar year. There is a connection between the last holiday of the year (Tu B'Av) and the first (Rosh HaShanah): Both celebrate new beginnings.
If you are interested in more details about any celebrated (or uncelebrated) Jewish Holiday, please contact our Director of Camp & Youth, Rachel Rustin Henson, at (210) 302-6969.

Ice creams are usually based on a mixture of vegetable oil or butter-fat, milk or whey powder, emulsifiers etc. Mix preparation is about creating this sweet, creamy base, to which flavours, colours and other ingredients can later be added.
Successful mix preparation requires knowledge of many different aspects of production, including freezing, handling, homogenization and pasteurization as well as an understanding of how these processes affect your ingredients.
Tetra Pak's dedicated ice cream experts combine knowledge of the chemical and physical parts of the process to support you in all areas of your mix preparation.
For example, when freezing the base mix, the consistency of the product is determined by the amount of frozen water in the mixture. The amount of water depends on other factors, such as the type and amount of sugar in the mixture. Our experts can help you adjust your mixture or tweak the process until you get the desired result.
Tetra Pak offers a complete range of mix preparation equipment from small, self-contained units to specially designed mix plants. They are all characterized by compact and hygienic design, with the components positioned for easy installation and to save space in your plant.
The Tetra Pak Ice Cream Mix units are platform based mix units ideally suited to meet the mix preparation requirements of small to medium capacity ice cream producers.
A complete powder handling system to feed Tetra Pak® Ice Cream Mix unit or Tetra Almix® will improve product quality and reduce production cost.

Keep up to date with the latest news and announcements relating to Council's projects and services. Please contact Council if the information you require is not displayed.
The Whitsunday Region is deservedly famous for its spectacular scenery and the community are invited to tell Council what they consider features of importance.
Mayor Andrew Willcox said that Council has engaged consultants Cardno to map and assess the scenic values and varied landscape character of the region, using a standard method in Queensland, which will help identify the features of importance to our community.
"The Scenic Amenity Study will inform a new mapping overlay within the draft Planning Scheme to facilitate development in a manner that protects areas of high scenic value," Cr Willcox said.
"The scenic preferences of the regional community will be established by representative samples of residents, who will review photographs and give each image a relative score, according to individual preferences."
Photographs of local landscape and scenery combinations will be represented at four 'landscape assessment sessions' in Airlie Beach, Bowen, Collinsville and Proserpine.
Each session will take approximately 2 hours on the 9th and 10th November 2016 at locations to be advised to registered participants. On behalf of Council, Cardno Chenoweth seeks participants for these assessment sessions.
If you are unable to make the aforementioned 'landscape assessment sessions' but would still like to have some input into protecting areas of scenic value, please read the explanatory material and follow the links to complete the online survey at http://yoursay.whitsundayrc.qld.gov.au/ . This will take approximately 15 minutes of your time.
Following the assessment sessions, the photographs and their average 'scores' will be analysed and incorporated, together with visual exposure modelling, into a combined map of scenic amenity.
People interested in participating should register at www.whitsunday.qld.gov.au/Scenic-Amenity-Study for application forms, to be submitted by Wednesday 27th October 2016. Alternatively please complete the online survey at http://yoursay.whitsundayrc.qld.gov.au/ before 21st November 2016.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - Officials are boosting the estimate for spring flooding property damage in Kent County to $10.6 million.
The numbers released Thursday are up from a previous estimate for the West Michigan county of $6.2 million and don't include Grand Rapids.
Earlier this month, authorities estimated the damage in Grand Rapids at more than $11 million.
The state police Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division has been working with local officials and the Federal Emergency Management Agency on assessments.
The flooding began in April and lasted through early May. Gov. Rick Snyder this month declared a state of disaster in several areas that dealt with flooding. Assessments are an initial step to help the state determine whether to ask for federal assistance.
