Every day
So despite the odd looks occasionally from my family, I have delighted in discussing the Bible with the lady from two streets down who knocks on my door nearly every Sunday and sometimes in between. She usually has one or two of her children with her, who, whatever their age, wait patiently in the rain, or the sunshine while she talks to me. She is, I believe, a Jehovah's witness, or may not be. I don't honestly know as we don't specifically talk about religion. We talk of the bible: she quotes and I listen and I find her faith and knowledge honourable and open. She will give me a leaflet claiming that the sick will be healed or that the meek will inherit the Earth and when I shut the door, despite the initial exasperation I may feel from having been interrupted from some minor task deep in the broom cupboard, I always feel connected and somehow invigorated. That the small engagement of conversation and chat about something which isn't ordinary or mundane is like a refreshing drink or a chocolate bar - a quick spiritual pick me up before becoming, once more, drowned by the voices of ordinary life.
She has seen me change through the Summer where I answered the door in the sunshine, full flowing hair down to my waist, through Autumn, as it fell like the leaves around my shoulders to my stark bare current state, and each time, she is as concerned as any of my friends. Only last week, she had her 15 year old son with her and I offered to coach him with his school work if she wanted me to.. She was touched and said so and we had between us one of those minutes of silence that fill up, fill up with emotion, with a wave of feeling that neither refers to, but both know..
Today, the doorbell rang again. I was tired, and brittle after staying up all night and opened the door in a bit of a fluster determined to be brief. But there she was, and in her hands, a bouquet of flowers of beautiful, vibrant oranges, pinks and yellows that glowed in the dull grey of a winter's day in London when the sun doesn't even come out. These shone in her hands, as brightly as the eyes of her children. She told me she had brought them for me, because I was an 'inspiration', I had taught her to 'keep on going, even when it was hard', and as she pressed the flowers into my hands with the customary leaflet on how 'God shall heal the sick', I nearly wept.
They are still shining now, in a vase in my kitchen, and as they illuminate my dull, winter-drenched home, as they shine into the dark corners of my room, I remember the power of words on a doorstep...
Cancer has taught me that little gestures mean a great deal...

This is quite possibly the best story I have been told in a very long time, and it may be a very long time before another story can come along to take its place. I have sat here and read it now three times, and I will come back to read it whenever I need to remember the best of all there is in the spirit and heart of one human being to another and the healing power that connection holds.
Honesty Minerva, I can quit reading for at least a week, this is enough to sustain me in hope and truth, this story, told by an eloguent storyteller such as you are..... - 1/15/2006 3:17 am

The Bible is a dead book for so many. It sounds to me that it has come alive for you.
It was a little over twenty years ago that it came to life right before my eyes and for over fourteen years after that instant, I devoured its contents with an insatiable appetite.
I've read it from cover to cover more than six times now and during all that reading, it has become a part of me, etched upon my heart so to speak.
May you always find comfort and peace within as a result of its power. - 1/15/2006 8:39 am

Today I will touch someone's life with a "little gesture" and remember this beautiful post.

What a beautiful gesture from an evidently gorgeous soul. You are so right, it's those small acts that can change the course of our day, possibly even our lives. One of the great lessons I take from Chritianity is the inherant humility of divinity. Hence the birth in the manger and other quite simple yet powerful symbolism.
Those small things contain so much power. They are personal. Two people connecting in a way that means so much.
I understand your appreciation of the Bible. There are some exquisite passages.
Much love,

Thank you for writing about this. Cancer isn't an all-bad experience, as it puts you in touch with what's really important in life (but it would be nice if there was an easier way to get this lesson).
Have a great day,

Hi Minerva,
That was a beautiful post.
I found the best Bible (for me)in a drawer of our Hotel room in Hong Kong. It was in simple English and certain excerpts gave me a lot of spiritual comfort. The Hotel receptionist said that I could keep it and I left a donation for the Bible Society to show my gratitude.
As the lady down the street told you, you are an "inspiration", probably much more than you realise.
A few months ago, with a certain amount of trepidation, I booked in for a Mammogram. My appointment details arrived in the post today. I know it's silly of me, but I do feel apprehensive (not about the Mammogram, but the results).
But throughout your Blog, you have been seen honest with your feelings and how you have dealt with breast cancer and it was you that inspired to muster the courage to have my breasts x-rayed.
Thank you for giving me the courage to have the Mammogram and thank you for this Blog and it's honesty and most of all, thank you for being you.

I'm glad that it was able to give you what you need. A little peace, understanding, and knowledge that everything that happens to us, happens for a reason.

Cheap gas customers could check their bills and perhaps look around for other tariffs if the one they are on is costing too much.
The Derby Telegraph reports that one customer, a 94-year-old man, was sent a gas bill despite not being connected to a supply for six years.
Kenneth Kirkman receives his cheap electricity from Scottish and Southern Energy but the energy supplier also billed him £143 for gas that he had not used.
He had been in hospital when the bill was sent and returned to a letter threatening him with legal action if he did not pay.
A spokesman for the power company said the mistake had happened because it sent an estimated reading.
"We have spoken to Mr Kirkman's neighbour and apologised and explained that we will credit his account and also write to him explaining this," the representative told the newspaper.
"We will also make sure this does not happen again in the future."

"The world is your mirror" is a popular phrase in self-help culture. In reality the world is not a reflective glass surface. So this is a metaphor that means something like, "instead of blaming others, examine your own thoughts and behaviors and how you are contributing to the problem."
This can be a very helpful strategy in many contexts. For instance, if you have the same kinds of problems in intimate relationships with partner after partner, finding yet another partner ("The One") without determining your role in the situation is not likely to be a good approach. A better strategy is to introspect and change your behavior first. For instance you might ask yourself, "how do I manage to choose the same kind of partner again and again? How can I improve myself in this situation instead of blaming the other person? In what ways am I contributing to creating this problem?" This approach is commonly referred to as taking responsibility and is a sign of maturity. (more…)

Stand for Children is a national organization trying to build a grassroots membership and local chapters to examine the needs of, and improve the opportunities for, children in the country.
The organization began on June 1, 1996, when more than 300,000 people gathered in Washington at the Lincoln Memorial to voice their opinion that there was something wrong when a country spent more money on prisons and prison construction than preschool or school construction, and that leaders who were making life more difficult for working families were wrong to try to tell them about family values.
Since then it has developed into a membership organization, building a coalition to try to improve children's lives. The organization's web site says some of the improvements made by members in local communities include helping to build new schools to ease overcrowding, creating a high school "drop-in" center, helping to provide more educational aides, increased access to dental care and education, elimination of fees to send children to some public schools, new after-school programs at low-income schools and creation of weekend night teen clubs.
The group will hold its first-ever national meeting from June 29 to July 1 in Washington. The people at the event will establish Stand For Children's long-term issue goals, set next year's issue priorities, work on
solutions for key issues for children and families and strategies to achieve solutions and build a national voice and vision.
part of the meeting will be a return to the Lincoln Memorial, the site of the organization's founding, for an anniversary candlelight rally with Marian Wright Edelman,
founder of Stand For Children Day.
The group has coordinated the annual Stand for Children Rally on or about June 1 since the first rally in 1996. Havre will hold its rally June 1 in Pepin Park. The rallies are intended to raise awareness about the organization and its mission.
Last year more than 2,000 events were planned across the nation for the rally, and this year events nationwide will include town hall meetings, rallies, marches, meetings with legislators, violent toy trade-ins, children's health
insurance sign-ups, carnivals, and book drives.
The organization also holds a "Cyber-Stand for Children" on the Internet, an educational and action campaign running from May 21 through June 10 this year.
The group became a membership organization in 1999 and currently has more than 5,000 members. It projects its membership
will grow to more than 50,000 by the end of 2002. Groups, such as organizations in Havre, also do work in affiliation with the organization.
The Stand for Children web site lists many accomplishments they have helped to achieve since the group began. The focus in 1997 was on health needs, and the web site says that more than 700 local events raised awareness and contributed to the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP,) a federal program helping states offer low-cost or free health care to close to 5 million uninsured children.
Working on the theme of "Stand for Quality Child Care" in 1998, more than 1,200 events helped pass the Kerry/Bond amendment to provide child care funding. "Ready to Learn, Ready to Succeed" was the theme in 1999, and more than 1,700 events focused on raising awareness about issues affecting children's ability to perform in school. "Building Safer and Healthier Communities for All Children" was the theme in 2000, and created including violent toy trade-ins, safety demonstrations and fairs, health insurance sign-ups, political forums, and letter-writing campaigns.
The web site says that despite the gains the group has made, it still hasn't achieved its most critical goal of creating a strong grassroots nonpartisan national organization, comparable to the Sierra Club or AARP, to promote children's issues. Stand for Children is continuing its campaign to create that membership.

After moving modestly higher in early trading on Friday, stocks have seen continued strength over the course of the morning. The major averages have remained firmly in positive territory, adding to the gains posted in the previous session. The strength on Wall Street stems from optimism about the likelihood of further stimulus from the world's central banks, with the U.K. government and the Bank of England already announcing additional measures to boost the credit and financial markets.
Traders have largely shrugged off disappointing reports on U.S. industrial production, consumer sentiment, and New York manufacturing activity, with the weaker than expected data only reinforcing the optimism about further stimulus.
Nonetheless, trading activity is somewhat subdued ahead of this weekend's elections in Greece, which will have a significant impact on whether the debt-plagued nation sticks to the terms of its international bailout.
Software stocks are seeing considerable strength in late morning trading, with the Dow Jones Software Index up by 1.7 percent. Nuance Communications (NUAN) and Oracle (ORCL) are turning in two of the sector's best performances following analyst upgrades.
Notable strength is also visible among health insurance stocks, as reflected by the 1.3 percent gain being posted by the Morgan Stanley Healthcare Payor Index. Chemical, steel, biotech, and railroad stocks are also posting strong gains.
The major averages have moved roughly sideways in recent trading, hovering near their best levels of the day. The Dow is up 65.24 points or 0.4 percent at 12,717.15, the Nasdaq is up 19.33 points or 0.7 percent at 2,855.66 and the S&P 500 is up 8.01 points or 0.6 percent at 1,337.11.

Memphis suburbs to hold school referendum July 16
May 25, 2013 19:37 GMT
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- All six Memphis suburbs have set a July 16 date to hold referendums on establishing municipal school systems.
WMC-TV (http://bit.ly/11jsNCA) reports the Shelby County Election Commission approved the date during a meeting on Friday. The action came after all six suburbs passed ordinances calling for a referendum on the issue on that date.
Residents in the communities voted last year to approve the municipal school districts, but a judge struck the decisions down.
Tennessee lawmakers passed legislation this year lifts a ban on municipalities forming their own districts, clearing the way for another vote.

Congratulations on having the energy to post for 200 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work. Want to become buddies??? Warren {:-)
how you doing
I have seen your comments on several mutual buddy sites for some time. Lets be buddies
Today is Sunday. If the article ever was valid, it was posted today and it is not valid today.
The aticle is and was bogus. I know not the mayor's mental status, however, tt is the author and publisher of the article, "Is New York's Mayor Bloomberg clueless or criminally indifferent?" that is clueless. We were all informed long ago that the marathon was cancelled and I am sure that the resources have long since been redistributed to where they were needed.
Gary, remember me to thank you before. When did you switching to Cash price? I noticed the FAQ section changed statement from Crredit to Cash. When did it happens?
As DR.Boff wrote never saw a policy on which price to post so always put Ca$h and noted extra cost for Credit. Of course some charge 10 cents or more extra and some a few cents so you won't be able to really find cheapest $. Can't people go to ATM? I was following the jerk that entered all wrong prices around passaic cnty area Sunday and trying to update many while on 17 again. Hope they disabled that account. Happy Motoring!
sorry I did not know you had to post the credit card price sorry, from now on I am doing that
Hi. No I did NOT know that, but thanks for the heads up
Thanks for posting in my topic, wanna be buddies?

Josh Beckett is the new Clayton Kershaw.
He isn't winning a Cy Young Award this season, and he isn't switching pitching hands, but the right-handed Beckett has managed to match the left-handed Kershaw in the most unenviable category of them all: run support.
If it seems like the Dodgers never score when their best pitcher is on the hill - Kershaw's 3.73 average run support is 16 th among qualifying National League pitchers - they must think very highly of Beckett, who's seen a total of five runs cross the plate in four career starts as a Dodger.
That's 1.25 runs per game, and it's enough to explain why Beckett is 1-2 after a no-decision Thursday.
The Dodgers lost 2-1 to the St. Louis Cardinals in a game with critical implications for the wild-card race before an announced crowd of 43,309 at Dodger Stadium.
Beckett ought to know by now that one run might need to stand up - and he did over 51/3 innings. But the Cardinals pushed a run across in the seventh inning against relievers Paco Rodriguez (0-1) and Ronald Belisario, when Allen Craig singled in Shane Robinson with the game-winning run.
"I don't complain about run support," Beckett said. "If you shut 'em out you don't have to worry about that."
Not surprisingly, the new guy in the clubhouse declined to shift responsibility for the Dodgers' latest defeat onto a lineup that has scored three runs in its last four games combined.
Matt Kemp had no such qualms.
"One run's not going to win games when you play teams like this."
The Cardinals (76-68), losers in six of their previous seven games, have a two-game lead on the Dodgers (74-70) for the National League's final wild-card spot. Four teams - Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Arizona - are within two games of the Dodgers.
With 18 games left in the regular season, the Dodgers trail the San Francisco Giants by 7½ games for first place in the National League West.
"We've got to beat everybody," Kemp said.
As the Dodgers slip in the standings, their pitchers continue to surge with little to show for their efforts.
Beckett was more of an escape artist than a mystifying magician, allowing nine runners to reach base in 51/3 innings. But only one scored - in the second inning, when St. Louis got consecutive singles by Yadier Molina, Carlos Beltran and Skip Schumaker, the latter scoring Molina from second base.
The Dodgers got their only run in the first inning, when Mark Ellis led off the game with a single and scored on Adrian Gonzalez's two-out double.
St. Louis loaded the bases in the fourth inning against Beckett only to come up empty. The right-hander struck out Daniel Descalso, the Cardinals' number-eight batter, on a nasty changeup that Descalso barely grazed before the ball reached A.J. Ellis' mitt. Lance Lynn was up next and the bearded pitcher drew a full count from Beckett before waving through a letter-high 91-mph fastball to end the inning.
Beckett was in trouble again when Craig led off the sixth inning with a double. Fortunately for the Dodgers, Craig was struck on the basepath by a grounder off Molina's bat for the first out. But Molina was safe at first, went to second on a wild pitch, and Beckett's last pitch was an intentional ball to Beltran that put runners on first and second with one out.
In came Rodriguez, three months removed from college, to face left-hander Skip Schumaker in the most important game of his brief major-league career. Rodriguez got Schumaker to ground out, then got Descalso to fly out to end the inning and preserve the 1-1 tie.
Rodriguez stayed out for the seventh inning and walked Robinson, who was pinch-hitting for Lynn. Matt Carpenter singled with one out and Belisario trotted out to face Craig - only to allow a seeing-eye single that scored Robinson with the go-ahead run.
Dodger relievers had not allowed a run in their previous 8 2/3 innings.
Lynn (15-7) allowed five hits, walked two, and struck out seven batters in six innings. Incidentally, Lynn gets the second-best run support of any major-league pitcher at 5.69 runs per game.
In the ninth inning, St. Louis closer Jason Motte allowed a two-out double to Hanley Ramirez before getting Shane Victorino to fly out to left field to end the game.
"Really, until the last out, we felt the energy of the type of game that hinges on one swing of the bat," manager Don Mattingly said.
The Dodgers have been four games over .500 twice this season, on April 11 (5-1) and on July 17 (48-44).

From Our Research Team:The Classic, Studio-standard Les Paul!Grab the iconic Gibson Les Paul Studio 2013 solidbody electric guitar for thick, snarling tone and fire-breathing output. The Les Paul Studio 2013 gives you genuine LP sound and looks in an affordable US-made guitar. Two fearsome humbuckers with attitude team up with a carved maple top to give you that fat, syrupy roar and sustain for weeks. Or switch into coil-tap mode to explore new tonal ground. A weight-relieved mahogany body saves your back during long gigs, and the '60s Slim Taper neck feels just right. From Jimmy Page to Slash, generations of guitarists have relied on the Les Paul to deliver their musical message - deliver yours with the Gibson Les Paul Studio 2013 solidbody electric guitar.Gibson Les Paul Studio 2013 Left-handed Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
The Les Paul recipe for sustain - mahogany body with maple top Gibson's Les Paul Studio 2013 gives you the robust sustain you need for hot liquid solos and massive power chords. What's Gibson's secret? A major part of the Les Paul's tonewood recipe is the fusion of a maple top on a mahogany body. This combination is largely responsible for the legendary Les Paul sound - as well the LP's reputation for being rather heavy. But fear not! Modern weight relief has been scientifically applied to the Les Paul Studio - giving you all the sustain, without the pain. Now you can play marathon gigs without next-day visits to the chiropractor. The Gibson Les Paul Studio 2013 - it's what rock dreams are made of. '60s Slim Taper neck profile for smooth playability The Gibson Les Paul Studio sports a comfortable, fast-action neck with a '60s Slim Taper profile. Early Les Paul guitars had huge "tree-trunk" necks, but beginning in 1959, the company began slimming the neck down to a more comfortable size. By 1960, this evolved into a design Gibson called the Slim Taper neck. Varying in thickness only about a tenth of an inch from the first fret out to the twelfth and maintaining a precisely controlled width-to-thickness ratio, the Slim Taper neck promoted playing speed while reducing player fatigue. Many guitarists consider Gibson's Slim Taper neck the most playable Les Paul neck ever made. Whether you're chording down low or riffing up high, the Les Paul Studio's neck - with its slick Granadillo fingerboard and classic trapezoid inlays - always feels just right. Pickups deliver true Les Paul sound - and then some The 2013 Les Paul Studio features 490R (rhythm) and 498T (treble) pickups. These "Modern Classic" pickups feature tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. But there's more! The volume knobs feature a push-pull configuration that allows you to choose between classic humbucking tones and snappy single-coil sounds.

Take your tone to new heights with the Gibson Les Paul Studio 2013!

Is that the same Conquest Racing that used to run an IndyCar team, I thought they no longer existed.

Supplying arriving New Americans with a basic furniture set-up of a bedroom set, dinette set, and sofa and chairs and household goods isn't a process that just happens. It's a well orchestrated, intricate event that gets its people-power from a host of committed volunteers who dedicate both time and resources. The beginning of the cycle starts with generous community members who donate no- longer-needed new or used furniture to JFS. As a service to people donating furniture, JFS offers a free furniture pick-up. This is where Marilyn Friedman fits 1 into the picture. One day a week, for the past year, she's been heading over to the JFS office to coordinate furniture pick-up times by contacting the donating families. Her most satisfying situation is when she arranges for New Americans to pick up furniture directly from the donor. "This way people can see who they are helping, where their furniture is actually going. It's no longer an anonymous gesture," Friedman said. Approached by JFS to aid in the resettlement effort, Friedman gladly accepted the responsibility noting, "It's a . mitzvah, an important way of contributing to the (immunity." Volunteers again come into the picture when the furniture is picked up. Through their companies, the Ungar family's Functional Furniture and Jay Schottenstein of Value City Furniture, donate trucks and manpower to JFS, transporting furniture from the donor's home to the warehouse: People don't donate goods in the exact combinations that are needed. So at times there may be extra sofas or not enough dinette sets. And because usually more than one bedroom set is needed per family, there's usually a shortfall. To help maintain a balanced furniture inventory, JFS has purchased buy-outs. When the now-defunct Sheraton Hotel was liquidating, much of their furniture was purchased for arriving New Americans. Two floors of furniture from the Hyatt Regency, sold as part of the Hyatt's top to bottom refurbishment, also made its way to the warehouse awaiting distribution to New Americans. Instrumental in facilitating these purchases is Frank Nutis. He assisted in the purchases between JFS and Sheraton and Hyatt representatives, securing the much-needed furniture in such a manner that all parties came away happy. His involvement didn't stop there. He arranged for Value City trucks to transport the . furniture to the warehouse during the Sheraton purchase and went as far as loading furniture onto the trucks. Nutis became involved because he believes, "The only difference between New Americans and myself is that my grandfather got on the boat years ago. If it weren't for that, I could be one of the New Americans myself." That leads to the next link in the chain, storing furniture. The family of the late Leon Schottenstein — Jean, Tom, Bill and Chaya — have Med that need for the past yeary and-a-half. Through their company, Arshot Investments, warehouse space is donated to JFS for storing furniture. Additionally, an Arshot employee, oh company time, opens the warehouse whenever donated furniture is brought in or picked up. "Needs are so great, and what our family is doing isn't much in relation to what need to be done," said Tom Schottenstein. "We continue to help because one Jew has a responsibility for another Jew. Anyone and everyone can and should help. If you put your mind to it, you can find a way to be useful" Geynekh Shvarts and Michael Wei-bond are New Americans helping New Americans. Shvarts, assisted by Weisbond, dispenses stored furniture to New. Americans or their anchor families, who come to the warehouse. The amount of time they volunteer depends on how many people will be arriving in Columbus. Since both are retired, they don't mind being "on-call," waiting for the go-ahead to man the warehouse. Their duties are supposed to consist of checking the list to see what furniture is allocated to a family and if its available. But Shvarts, age 68, and Weisbond, age 73, go beyond the call of Volunteer duty. They'll help people load furniture into trucks, whenever they can. "We can't manage sofa sleepers," Weisbond said, "but we try to help with what we can." Shvarts and Weisbond want to help as many families as they can, in their own way. ' 'When we came to the United States, JFS helped us," Weisbond said. "Now it's our turn to help." Fran Wasserstrom, JFS vice president and chair of the Resettlement Committee, has been instrumental in obtaining household goods from Consolidated Stores through Chuck Shenk andSchottenstein/Value City stores through Herb MBn- kin and Jay Schottenstein. Two years ago she tackled .the same assignment. This time around she was able to receive enough merchandise to supply 50 New American households. Since New Americans bring very little with them when emigrating, basic items such as pots and pans, towels, sheet-, pillows and the like, are essential to starting a household. Wasserstrom compiled a list of what an average New American household needs and gave it to both companies. see VOLUNTEERS Pg 12 i ■r£»iHl^F|giaBjW»*ffiag'3W^^

It certainly isn't reliable. ~ "Since last October we have been fighting to prevent the Governor and,the DEC administrators from attempting to force Oyster Bay to ship its residents' waste to landfills in other states," Supervisor Joseph Colby said. "By successfully blocking the State from implementing such an irresponsible policy, we saved Town residents $70,000 per day or approximately $ 16 million over a nine-month period.'' "But'\ Colby added, "this arbitrary denial by the DEC: Commissioner leaves us no choice but to close the. Old Bethpage landfil and attempt to ship our residents' garbage. The money that we were able to save through our vigorous, -legal-defcriscTagain.'fithiTr-irrespDnsiblerState^d^^^ long distance hauling of waste; It is the only method the DEC decisions leave us, if we are to make sure that gai:bage i.s not left on Town streets later this yea;r.". ; Colby noted that Governor Cuomo's teleyised comhfients earlier this year made it obvious that the decision on the Town application to temporarily extend the landfill until a resource recovery plant could be constructed would be ba.sed on partisan politics, not facts. "There is no doubt the Long Island landfill law provides for a terhporary landfill extension while Long Island towns attempt to buijd resource recovery facilities," Colby said. "The law recognized this need, and DEC engineers found the Town's plan technically sufficient, but partisan politics.affected the Governor who publicly stated during the permit hearings that he directed his appointees to do all in their power to prevent the temporary e.\tension. The DEC Commissioner, and appointee of the Governor, has obviously carried out that direction." During the nine months that the Town has fought to prevent the State from forcinjg the expenditure of $70,000 per day to ship refuse. Town personnel utilized every legitimate alternative, "While our attorney sought to legally over-come the State's pro-shipping pressure, our engineers sought ways to continue disposal operations until the temporary extension permits would be granted," Colby said., After the State turned down an earlier request to permit landfilling to a higher elevation ~ a request that was recommended for approval by DEC engineers in Albany and on Long Island ~ the Town re-examined its existing landfill permit. Since.the permit stated that the "final" elevation of the landfill could not exceed 240 feet above .sea level (about 120 feet above ground) and since it is a known fact that refuse settles after being landfilled, the Town continued landfill operations above the "final" elevation. When this operation foiled State efforts to force costly and unreliable shipping, the State brought charges against the Town seeking $100,000 in penalties. "While we have been in the process of deriionstrating that the'charges were wrongfully brought," Colby said, "the State has made is clear that it will accept no solution other than long distance shipping of waste." The Town will attempt to initiate a shipping plan and is currently attempting to finalize bids in order to secK a contact that will comply with the State demand for shipping. "If the State administration had followed the intent of the Legislature, a safe, DEC-approved temporary extension, would have been constructed in the ground long ago and the DEC would have assisted this Town in implementing a resource recovery plant rather than working to implement policy to force Long Island to ship its waste," Colby said. In Town Annette Giulino appointed "We want to serve you by helping you to use the Postal Service to your best advantage," said Annette Giiiliano, the newly installed Postmaster of Bethpage. "There are46employees at the Bethpage Post Office with initiative and resources. We wiU join together as a team giving you, the community of Bethpage, our quality product ... Service.

Saturday, August 11, 2012
Just over two weeks ago we left home for our annual trek to Camp Our Time. The change of pace has been nice, and the excitement of learning, doing, and exploring in a new environment amidst a huge extended family of sorts has felt healthy and invigorating. Since Taro is working overtime while we're here, the days are full and exhausting but fun nonetheless.
I thought I'd share a few highlights from our trip so far:
For the first time since Camp Our Time has been held in North Carolina, we drove! It was hard to imagine flying with three kids 5 and under, and we own a minivan now so it was kind of a no-brainer ;) Armed with tons of snacks, a bunch of newly-downloaded children's audiobooks, and some early Springsteen (Born to Run, Born in the USA, and Darkness on the Edge of Town), we made the road trip in three days. Our pace allowed frequent pit stops to nurse, stretch, and spot praying mantises. The last day and a half of the trip involved us grownups taking turns sitting in the backseat to prevent epic sibling-on-sibling provocation and harassment (#keepingitreal). It was a feeling of relief and accomplishment for all of us when we finally pulled on to the tranquil grounds of camp.
The first week we were here, my parents came up from Mississippi and rented a sweet little cabin in the area. While Taro was busy with staff orientation and other camp preparations, the kids and I spent most of our time hanging out with Mamaw and Papaw. It was my dad's first time meeting Hazel. We read books and went shopping and watched the Olympics, and toured the farmer's markets, and cooked, and went sightseeing, and took lots of naps. It was pretty wonderful.
Camp officially started last Sunday, with over 80 campers arriving from all over the country and the world. Our family of five is lucky enough to be able to stay in a small, comfortable house on camp that has its own kitchen and laundry room. During the day the boys and Hazel and I roam all over the place, dropping into whichever activities interest us at that particular moment. There's so much to choose from: horseback riding, gardening, soccer, dance, singing, arts and crafts, rock climbing, swimming, basketball, gem mining, and theatre arts are just a few of the most popular daily activities.
This year the boys have been able to really participate in most of the activities, and they do -- with gusto. I just follow them around, Hazel on my hip, crossing my fingers that they'll want to take a nap after lunch (it's happened maybe once since we've been here -- Holy Tired Mama, Batman!). As physically taxing as it can be to trek after these fellas all day, it's also really cool to see them so engaged in their adventures and so completely blissed out. And we all sleep well at night ;)
In case you're interested in more information about Camp Our Time, here's a little film that conveys what it's all about:
8 comments:
Wow, watching that video gave me chills and tears ! Camp Our Time seems like such a wonderful, magical, amazing place ! I wish it existed when I was a kid.
I stuttered terribly, and like one of the young ladies in the video, my name was incredibly difficult for me to say. I ended up going by a nickname that I didn't even like because taking A FULL MINUTE (which is longer than it sounds !) to say my own name was humiliating.
You guys are miracle workers.

Innovation: Going for the gold
The author compares what a conventional KM approach might have been to that of a multi-billion dollar result, achieved through an innovation approach to knowledge development.
By Bryan Davis
Stimulating innovation: art or science?
How can organisations encourage more dynamic market-based and open thinking so as to spark truly extraordinary inventions and innovations? Indeed, is there a bright new formula or process available to help springboard radical innovation and invention in your organisation?
The practice of stimulating innovation is both art and science. There are many ways to achieve success. In this article Id like to highlight some amazing new approaches that can help unlock extraordinary knowledge performance in any enterprise.
The challenge
There is a recent case of intellectual capital innovation that we should find particularly compelling. Six years ago, Goldcorp was a small Toronto-based mining company.
It was listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and had a market cap of a mere $60m. Rob McEwen, CEO at that time, did something unheard of in the mining industry. He decided to pursue a radical path to sourcing new innovative ideas. It involved tapping the imagination, experience, brainpower, and new technology available in the global mining community.
He staged a competition called the Goldcorp Challenge. It was promoted using the internet. Participants were promised they could win prize money to the tune of $500,000 US. People who signed up for the challenge were given access to Goldcorps reserves knowledge base. Being this open was extraordinary in the mining industry.
The challenge participants were invited to propose the best ideas, methods, and systems for mining Goldcorps gold deposits. The results were incredible.
Many new ideas, innovative methods and technologies were put forward. Among the winners was a small software company from
Today, Goldcorp has become one of the worlds premier gold mining companies. Its production costs are among the lowest in the industry, and the company has been extremely profitable. Goldcorps market cap now exceeds $20bn. The benefits that have flowed from Goldcorps success have not just been splendid for investors. Rob McEwen has used his wealth to endow medical research such as the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine at University Health Network (UHN). A $20m donation represents the largest cumulative gift in regenerative medicine and stem cell research in
So there have been spillovers into the realm of what we might call social innovation.
Knowledge perspective
Lets now make a comparison with what a rather conventional KM approach might have involved. The contrast with what Goldcorp actually did is illuminating.
As illustrated above, there is a colossal performance difference between these two approaches. This is also not a speculative, academic, or theoretical difference. The high-performance results Goldcorp achieved are real-world measurable achievements.
Lessons learnt
There are many reasons I believe we should pay particular attention to cases like this. Among them are:
Organisations need to be more open to accessing the best intellectual capital and the best ideas. Often these may be sourced from outside, and not necessarily from within, the normal boundaries of the enterprise. Great ideas can come from anywhere.
Open innovation approaches have already resulted in mind-expanding transformations of products and services. Open innovation is a really big idea.
Embracing more market-oriented platforms and pathways to future innovation is a gateway to vast new opportunity horizons. Knowledge markets and the stimulation of innovative ideas using prizes and challenges have an exciting future.
The internet and network connectivity are extending the reach and richness of the enterprise in its quest to mine the best ideas from the global brain.
Goldcorp is not a rare isolated case, but a part of a powerful growing trend. There is a rapidly expanding wave of new practices that are at the cutting edge of knowledge-inspired innovation.
The entrepreneurs and innovators who are driving and delivering such phenomenal transformations are operating with a fabulous new knowledge-market mindset.
Knowledge inspired innovation
Some of you may be mired in the slow, tired and low rewarding trenches of traditional knowledge management. There are also many voices that talk of the demise and failure of knowledge management. Indeed, if we are stuck on the traditional approach highlighted in the table (p.25), then may its importance indeed be reduced. However, I am happy to report from our active research from the knowledge frontier that bright days are ahead.
To see this, we need to change our thinking and mental models when it comes to managing knowledge. Imagine that 10 years from now a whole new industry like nanotechnology will mature. It is projected that nanotech will grow to be a trillion dollar economy by 2015. Nanotech is inherently a knowledge-driven and knowledge-intensive enterprise. And yet nanotech is just one of many new emerging business ecosystems, rapidly evolving and coalescing on the knowledge frontier.
Expanding knowledge economy frontier
In many other fields, creating and harnessing new knowledge will be critical to sustaining new wealth and prosperity. In the life sciences, it is knowledge innovation that will radically reshape the prevailing wasteful blockbuster drug development model. It will be challenged by a new era of personalised medicine.
In our declining oil-based energy economy, it will be knowledge-based investments and creativity that will help to move us onto a greener hydrogen and alternative fuels economy. In the global tourism economy, it will be the thirst for a newer type of knowledge and cultural tourism that will expand our appreciation of the rich and diverse intangible heritage of the nations that inhabit the planet.
It will require the kind of imagination and radical use of networks, open systems, knowledge markets, and business model innovation, shown by Goldcorp and others, to unlock the promise and riches of the global knowledge economy to come.
Knowledge markets
Knowledge markets are formal or informal community contexts, platforms or environments (real or virtual), used to promote knowledge commerce, trade and exchange, demand and supply, between knowledge buyers and sellers.
They are being leveraged today to better organise, coordinate, aggregate, facilitate, communicate, broker and network flows and exchanges of knowledge between knowledge seekers and knowledge providers. A wide range of knowledge capital assets can be traded, swapped, bartered and exchanged.
These assets can be in the form of questions and answers, ideas, expertise, know-how, intellectual property, designs, social capital, intangibles, talent, human capital, brain power, learning, training, education, software, professional services and projects. We have created a taxonomy of the innovations occurring in knowledge markets. Here is our categorisation of the various approaches:
Knowledge auctions;
Knowledge banks;
Knowledge stores of malls;
Question and answer/experts exchanges;
Intellectual property and idea exchanges;
Education/e-learning exchanges;
Community-oriented or social capital exchange;
Intellectual capital/e-lance/professional-services exchange/talent markets;
Business-to-business knowledge exchanges;
Vertical industry-specific knowledge exchanges;
Information and prediction markets;
Knowledge grid;
Knowledge market events (e.g., a time-boxed knowledge fair)
We maintain online links to many real-world examples of knowledge-markets innovation, which can be explored further at http://www.kikm.org.
Our taxonomy may seem rather innocuous. However, we have discovered that there is over $5tr worth of intellectual property available in the
We know, for example, there are many corporations that engage in cross-licensing of their IP. There has also been a trend towards the pooling of software patents by vendors who want to work together to expand markets where they have a shared interest in accelerating future growth. This is evident with wireless technology patents, for example. Pooling and cross-licencing may not involve direct monetary exchange. However, the implied strategic knowledge sharing creates additional value for the stakeholders involved. So there is a real accrual of benefits.
There is much fragmentation of ownership and information about who has what know-how available for trading. Even in the open source community one cannot always easily discover who has what knowledge for exchange. So now we see impressive and rapid new developments towards the creation of different forms of online intellectual property exchanges.
There is a vast ocean of patents, trademarks, copyrights, creative designs and digital intellectual property assets that are becoming available from government labs, private corporations, individual inventors, universities, film studios (movie rights) and other stakeholders. Facilitating their trade and exchange will be a boon to future innovation agendas.
Idea economy
There is a growing realisation too that innovation in a knowledge economy is about creating, developing and sourcing the best ideas and putting them to work. We have been learning, through our research activity, that many entrepreneurs and innovative organisations have been setting up various types of idea exchanges to harvest innovative ideas.
Following the Goldcorp challenge example, Barrick Gold Corporation has set up a challenge site at www.unlockthevalue.com. There will be some $10m awarded for the best ideas about mining silver. Barricks Unlock the Value programme invites scientists and researchers from around the world to propose new methods or technologies to unlock the silver at its Veladero mine. Notice that the incentive is now 20 times the value of the Goldcorp incentive scheme. It reinforces the point that this way of approaching innovation is becoming a very big deal.
It may also surprise you to learn of other activities involving the award of monetary prizes for innovation. In some cases it is an award in recognition of a lifetime of achievement. For example, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Robert Langer recently received the Millennium Technology Prize from
However, prizes are also being offered for the best new innovations to come. For example, here is a selection of interesting examples. There are many similar examples of new approaches to knowledge innovation we could cite, which may have to be the subject of a future article.
Knowledge Innovation Zones
Debra Amidon and I have also written about our research into knowledge innovation zones in other issues of this magazine. Therein we address the fast changing context of new high-performance innovation. You can learn more about those developments at www.inthekzone.com
Suffice it to say, in conclusion, that the time has come to update, reorient and adapt our thinking surrounding how we leverage knowledge and intellectual capital assets. There is ample evidence from our research of next innovation practice to support this assertion. We now need to move on from more traditional approaches, and courageously, to embrace imaginative and knowledge-inspired innovation.

Why a 24 hour event?
A day on Twitter does not last for 24 hours. Rather it feels like a 36 hour day as we go from sunrise to sunset across the globe. The changing over of timezones is an integral part of the Twitter experience. Instead of Good Morning New York. It is "Good Morning New York, Good Afternoon London and Good Night Tokyo."
Hence, we thought it'll be fun to simulate that experience with an online storytelling event. As the first round of submissions draws to a close in early September, the stories shared in videos and other media, will be released around the clock on a selected date, to be announced shortly. Everyone gets to watch the videos online, rate them, comment on them and most of all tweet about them.
So if you submit your videos earlier, just know that we will be releasing them later on as part of this round the clock event.
The round the clock storytelling event also calls to mind the story cycles of the great literary traditions, like A Thousand and One Nights, in which the virgin bride tells the Persian King a fresh tale every night in order to stay her execution the next morning.
This 24 hour event is a microcosm of what Twitter users around the world do: share stories big and small about their daily lives, 140 characters at a time. It may seem silly and mundane to people who don't use the micro-blog service but it is a form of sustenance for those who enjoy telling and re-telling those bite-size stories from day to day.
So do stay tuned as we will announce the date of this event soon. Come join us with your popcorn and snacks and, of course, get ready to tweet about the videos and the event.
