Five Sunday Strategies for Mompreneurs
- Thursday, September 02, 2010
As a mom and an entrepreneur, taking a day off is not in my nature. I don't have time for a day off. Heck - I don't even have time to eat sitting down! When I wake up with a scratchy throat, my first reaction is a panic prayer: "Dear God, please don't let me be sick —I don't have time for this!"
Often I get so absorbed in the urgency of my responsibilities, that slowing down seems like giving up. But keeping holy the Sabbath day is actually a habit that helps me recharge and prepare for the week to come. Here are five simple strategies I use to make the most of my weekly day of rest. (If your business requires you to work on Sunday, then try implementing these strategies another day of the week!)
1. Screen-Free Sunday: The rule in our house on Sunday is to unplug. This means no computer, no TV (except during football season or the Tour de France), no Nintendo DS, no Blackberry surfing, or any other activity that involves a screen. It's a huge challenge for me - and I certainly have been known to make exceptions (that's my way of saying I break the rule!). But I try to honor the basic principle that Sundays are for connecting F2F (face to face).
By unplugging on Sunday, I give myself permission to not respond immediately. I revoke the self-imposed edict that requires me to drop everything and answer a text message or reply to an email. It's a liberating feeling to ignore that vibrating Blackberry and know that the world will not fall apart. Like starting a new workout routine, it's painful at first, but after awhile it becomes a welcome habit.
2. Sunday Summit: Many people go through life on autopilot, moving from task to task, job to job, activity to activity…without giving much thought to how they are living their lives or why they are making certain choices. One simple strategy I use to ensure that I am living with awareness and purpose is to hold a weekly meeting to reflect and plan - first with myself, then with my family. I set aside 30 minutes Sunday morning to journal about the week that has passed and any thoughts, feelings or plans for the week ahead. My journal usually takes the form of prayers in which I thank the Lord for the blessings of the previous week and ask for courage, wisdom and grace to take on the challenges of the coming week. I consider my business goals for the week and jot them down in my business journal.
At dinnertime, I also review the calendar with my family, making sure everyone knows what is on the schedule so there are no last-minute surprises. We discuss the transportation schedule, childcare arrangements, errands, assignments, special occasions or activities for the week.
3. Sunday Safeguard: Sundays have traditionally been a family day for me, but as my children grow older, it becomes more difficult to honor that tradition. Other than church, there are not any routine Sunday commitments on the calendar. But inevitably we receive an invitation to a birthday party, a family gathering, a meeting or some other activity. The temptation is to accept all of these invitations - how could we possibly say no when we don't have any other plans? But here's the thing: it's good to have no plans once a week. It's rewarding and rejuvenating to simply enjoy togetherness and nothingness for one afternoon a week.
The key to safeguarding family time is to learn the art of saying no with grace and clarity - and without guilt. This doesn't mean I turn down every Sunday invitation, but it enables be to examine each event with a critical eye. I ask myself: does this event support my goals to spend Sunday time as a family? And will this event cause additional stress in my life? Oftentimes, I realize that my reasons for attending have more to do with obligation that with anything else. As long as I keep in mind my priority of protecting family time, I am able to decline invitations that do not serve our family for whatever reason. My personal "Say No Without Guilt" process is this:

Repotting Plante?
This is Alex Plante on his draft day. Since this photo was taken things have gone a little sideways for him. Injuries and ineffective play cost him a lot of time last season and apparently there were some bad feelings between player and team (Calgary Hitmen, WHL) a year ago.
Plante didn't show up for camp and is waiting to be traded by the Calgary Hitmen. GM Kelly Kisio was quoted in the Herald today as saying "you sit back and scratch your head and wonder what you have to do to make kids happy. We played him with Karl Alzner so he could have a big draft year, then he gets hurt and has trouble getting back into game shape and we're getting blamed for it." Which is true, Kisio is being framed as the bad guy here but it's also true (based on other reports) the Hitmen knew at this year's NHL draft that Plante had no plans to return to Calgary so this could have been solved many weeks ago.
You'd like to see him end his junior career on a positive note, although this won't cost him in terms of preparedness for the coming season. Plante will be at rookie camp and then Oilers main camp later this month and from all reports had a solid summer. He survived Mandelbaum training in California (he spent 3 weeks on the pain train) and impressed the Oilers organization earlier this summer at the prospect camp.
Guy Flaming reported earlier this summer (mid-June) that "one source told me that Plante's camp were disappointed with the way he'd lost his spot last year due to injury and another source described the situation to me by saying "he became a whipping boy for [head coach Kelly] Kisio".
So it's probably best that Plante play in another town. Hopefully he's traded soon, as the one thing he doesn't need is an extended period without game action this fall and winter.

Scaling up solar energy collection means addressing a critical problem. While additions like anti-reflective coatings can boost efficiency on solar panels, the more solar energy a collector gathers, the hotter it gets--and if temperatures rise too high the heat could damage the device.
A group at IBM Research - Zurich is addressing this problem and wow)) cialis attorneys announced on online viagra prescription Earth Day 2013 that they are developing a High Concentration PhotoVoltaic Thermal (HCPVT) system. IBM says the collector will be able to generate significantly more electrical power from the cialis generic price sun's rays than comparable systems while staying cool enough to function.
According to IBM, the proposed HCPVT system's dish contains hundreds of photovoltaic chips, and the rate at which it can generate electrical power is about 25kW. With the help of a microchannel water cooling system, the system is capable of concentrating the power of soft tab cialis 2,000 suns, on average, and converting 80 percent of the radiation collected.
In a video, a research scientist at Zurich explains the solar radiation concentration methods that will be used in the proposed system.
The design offers other efficiency boosts: the hot water produced in the microchannels can be used for air conditioning or filtered for drinking. More electrical power and a useful hot water byproduct aren't the only boons; as with many systems designed to http://www.aco.ca/viagra-buying increase efficiency, it promises to be more cost effective as well. Although IBM's press release on the buying cialis now proposed system doesn't mention any market plans, it does claim that the design is suitable for mass production. If they do go beyond prototype stages, IBM states these systems could be built at a cost three times lower than comparable systems, and may help deliver electricity, fresh water, and cool air to remote locations.

British soldiers arrested in assault, robbery of NYPD cop: police
Six British soldiers were arrested for assaulting and robbing an off-duty cop in Manhattan early Friday morning, police said.
The soldiers, with the Royal Regiment of Scotland, assaulted the 33-year-old NYPD officer outside Mercury Bar in Midtown around 4:30 a.m., police said.
Prior to the fight, they were visiting the city to play a rugby match against NYPD officers. A scuffle began after an NYPD cop started talking to one of the soldiers' female friends, according to the Daily Record.Iosesof Yazala was charged with robbery and assault. Iliakini Raderua, Thomas Shute, Felite Vunisarati, Mosese Kuruala and Joeli Raduva were all charged with assault, police said.
One soldier is accused of stealing the policeman's phone and a chain while the cop tried to call 911. Another soldier allegedly punched the cop's friend.
It was not clear whether all six who were arrested were involved in the incident.
A spokesperson for the British Military of Defense told the Record that they were "aware" of the fight.
"All those who are found to fall short of the Army's high standards will face disciplinary action, up to discharge if appropriate," they said in a statement to the Record.

Corpse Run 273: Storagetastic
Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and is enjoying the last handful of 2012 before we turn the calendar over!
So I'm still in the middle of Borderlands (and will most likely be for quite a while) and while I totally love the RPG mechanics that it employs, the rules governing ammunition storage seem a little bit silly: for each type of ammunition you carry, there is a limit that can be held at any given time. This limit can be increased over the course of the game.
This is supremely silly.
Not the part that the carry amount can be increased, but that it applies individually to each ammo type, as opposed to ammo overall.
If a player only uses snipers and handguns, why can't he use the space arbitrarily reserved for SMG ammo as extra sniper and handgun storage? Or combat rifle ammo? Or shotgun ammo?
It feels like a rule that, despite the bizzarre tone of the game, stands out as a bit ridiculous.
This may come as no surprise, but when it comes to purchasing presents for other people, I don't do things in a timely manner. With this in mind, you will not be shocked to learn that I was in the mall on Christmas eve looking for some presents.
So was everyone else.
The shops were pretty packed, and last minute shoppers flowed through the halls like a river during a storm; navigating the mall was a difficult task.
Making matters worse were the little kiosks that litter the hallways, temporary stands selling things like puppets, customized phone cases and lighters, etc. The employees of these makeshift outlets are often quick to make eye contact with passerby, as many people find it hard not to at least acknowledge them when their eyes meet.
That's when the salesman in them take over and they start pitching products.
One such lady attempted this on me as I was passing by. Our eyes met, she gave a pleasant hello, and then asked me when I had last exfoliated.
Never in the history of sales has someone barked up so wrong a tree.
One last note, thanks to everyone who lent me a vote in the Kotaku Sunday Comics thing! Through a bit of wacky circumstances (a technicality) Corpse Run was fortunate enough to squeak its way in!
So… thanks again!

Banks' payday loans under fire
Consumer watchdogs want to stop banks from offering short-term, high-cost advances on paychecks and other direct deposits.
This post comes from Jeanine Skowronskiat partner site MainStreet.
Overdraft protection may be at the center of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's inquiry into checking account practices, but consumer advocacy groups have another banking product they'd like the bureau to immediately examine.
Nearly 250 advocacy groups petitioned federal regulators last week to stop banks from offering deposit advance loans. The product in question is one many consumers are unfamiliar with. Here's a breakdown of what you should know about the issue.
What are they?
Deposit advance loans essentially allow checking account holders to get an advance on an electronically deposited paycheck or qualified direct deposit. They are offered in some incarnation at four major banks: Wells Fargo calls it Direct Deposit Advance; US Bank calls it Checking Account Advance; Regions Bank, which operates in 16 states, calls it Ready Advance; and Fifth Third Bank, which operates in 12 states, calls it Early Access.
These loans are offered on a short-term basis and generally must be repaid through the consumer's next direct deposit or within 35 days of the advance. They're also expensive.
US Bank, Fifth Third Bank and Regions Bank each charge the equivalent of $2 for every $20 advanced, and Wells Fargo charges $1.50 for each $20 advanced. When you run the numbers, this works out to annual percentage rates of 120% and 90%, respectively.
Advocates assert that the high costs associated with these short-term loans are similar to those being offered by payday lenders.
"These products are designed to trap people," says Kathleen Day, spokeswoman for the Center for Responsible Lending, the nonprofit group that spearheaded the petition. Day said an analysis of actual checking account activity conducted by the CRL found that consumers taking out these advances stay in debt for 175 days per year, despite the fact that the loan must be paid back in a month.
Comparatively, an average payday borrower is in debt for 212 days. (Post continues below.)
Why these are under fire now
In most instances, the loans are not new. Wells Fargo has actually offered Direct Deposit Advance since 1994, while US Bank and Fifth Third introduced their products in 2006 and 2008, respectively.
Regions introduced Ready Advance last May. A month later, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency proposed guidelines addressing bank deposit advance loans, a move the CRL says inadvertently legitimizes what it believes is a predatory product.
"A year ago the industry didn't have the green light to pursue this," Day says. She adds that Fiserv, a provider of software systems to the financial industry, recently launched a product called Relationship Advance, which allows banks to provide credit to help bridge short-term deficits. "We're trying to stamp out (the service) before it comes widespread," she says.
What the banks are saying
Banks that currently offer deposit advance loans say there are several distinctions that make the product different from a loan you could get from a payday lender.
"We put in place strict limits and protections to help customers avoid becoming overextended," says Teri Charest, a spokeswoman for US Bank.
This includes limiting how long a customer can use the option, enforcing a mandatory cooling-off period (meaning the person must go a certain time without using the loan) and providing information about alternative, low-cost credit options that may be available.
Similar restrictions are in place at the other financial institutions offering the service. For instance, Regions reports the repayment history to the credit bureaus, which helps customers establish or build their credit. Wells Fargo does not report its data to credit bureaus, while US Bank and Fifth Third did not respond for comment on this practice.
All four banks also point out that the product is not meant -- or marketed -- for mass consumption.
"You're never going to walk into a store and see a poster about this product," says Richelle Mesnick, a spokeswoman from Wells Fargo. "It is designed to get a customer through an emergency situation."
What happens next
Banks offering deposit advance loans don't have immediate plans to amend them, as they say it serves a need among their customers.
"There is a need for short-term credit quickly," Mesnick says.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has not responded directly to the consumer watchdog petition but has said it will include these products in its inquiry into payday lending that is under way. Deposit advance loans are actually named specifically in the bureau's examination document (.pdf file) that outlines what products and services the agency will regulate.
Banks reiterate that the product should be used only in emergency situations, while consumer advocates advise people to avoid the product entirely.
"It's not something that really helps," Day says. "People should stay away from them."
More on MainStreet and MSN Money:
How deceptive is this article!!! Oh Yeah just through in the name PAYDAY LOANS and people are all over fighting the banks now for their products of a "small loan" Do any of you rich folks get it that not everyone is able to get a regular loan at their banks? Do you not get it that we all have emergencies at some point are in need of a little cash now and then and that it is our right to BORROW!!!!!!!!!
I BET THE ACTUAL FEES ON THESE BANK LOANS IS ACTUALLY LESS THAN $20 A MONTH FOR $300. NOT $20 per hundred!!!!! Do your math folks before you hang someone else up to dry!!!!!
If banks would give people with fair credit loans, then we wouldn't have these problems. Think about it, those who take payday loans usually pay these off because they want some sort of security for emergencies. If it wasn't for these companies our economy would be even worse. They give opportunities to those who have no where to go. Shame on you banks, credit unions and finance companies, which refuse to give help to people who are struggling financially. Minorities have less than a chance to get loans. Wonder why?
Where did you see 400%?
And that is 10% per month. There are 12 months in a year so the APR comes out to 120% as stated in the article. It is a total rip off...banks taking advantage of their customers again. Switch to a credit union, they are much better than a bank and charge lower rates for loans.

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Matt Cain tossed 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball to earn his first win of the year, and Hunter Pence smacked two doubles and drove in four in the San Francisco Giants' 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers to complete a three-game sweep.
Cain (1-2), who was a 16-game winner last year, fanned four and surrendered five hits while walking three for San Francisco, which has won six straight on the heels of a five-game skid.
"He got us into the eighth inning, and as usual our boys are entertaining and made it close again. But I was happy for Matt the way he threw the ball," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Cain had 6.79 earned run average entering Sunday's tilt.
Hyun-Jin Ryu (3-2) allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks over six frames for the Dodgers, who have dropped four contests in a row.
"I feel better about our club walking out of here right now than I did walking in," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "We played them tough the whole series."
San Francisco built a 4-0 lead after seven, but a three-run eighth got LA back into the game.
With the bags full and two away in the frame, pinch-hitter Adrian Gonzalez rolled a two-run single back through the box off Jeremy Affeldt to cut the deficit in half. Dee Gordon then reached on an infield single to bring home another run to make it 4-3.
But Jean Machi came on and induced an inning-ending groundout off the bat of pinch-hitter Jerry Hairston. Sergio Romo worked a 1-2-3 ninth to notch his 12th save of the year.
The Giants jumped ahead after plating a run in the first, another in the third and two more in the fifth.
Three straight base hits by Andres Torres, Marco Scutaro and Pablo Sandoval loaded the bases before Torres was thrown out at home on Buster Posey's groundout. But Pence's groundout to shortstop brought home Scutaro for the game's first run in the opening inning.
Scutaro hit a one-out single and Posey's walk two batters later put runners on first and second in the third for Pence, who ripped a double to left to bring home Scutaro.
In the fifth, Sandoval worked a two-out walk and Posey singled to center before Pence poked a Tobago to right for a 4-0 San Francisco advantage.
San Francisco recorded three one-run wins to earn the sweep ... Los Angeles
was 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base ...
Pence has seven doubles this year.

The Official Website of the Louisiana Department of Revenue
BATON ROUGE - Beginning July 1, 2002, Act 22 of the 2002 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature lowers the sales tax rate from 4% to 3.9% on food for home consumption, electricity, water utility services, and steam.
Louisiana Department of Revenue Secretary Cynthia Bridges says the 3.9% sales tax rate will apply to all food sold for preparation and consumption in the home. This includes bakery products, dairy products, soft drinks, fresh fruits and vegetables, and packaged food requiring further preparation by the purchaser. Items such as malt beverages, beer, other alcoholic beverages, distilled water, carbonated water, water in containers, vitamins, and ice are not considered food items and will be taxable at 4%.
Except for food for home consumption and utilities, Act 22 continues the 4% sales tax rate on all other items whose sales tax exemptions have been suspended since July 1, 2000. Bridges says items continuing to be taxed at 4% include, but are not limited to, sales of newspapers, purchases by nonprofit electrical cooperatives, purchases of butane, propane, and other liquefied petroleum gases for residential consumption, purchases of certain materials for use in commercial printing, purchases by organizations that sponsor Mardi Gras balls, sales of tickets by Little Theater organizations, sales of certain supplies for use in harvesting catfish or crawfish, and purchases by Ducks Unlimited and other organizations dedicated exclusively to the conservation of North American waterfowl and wetland habitat.
More complete information about items taxed at the 3.9% rate and at the 4% rate is available from Revenue Information Bulletin 02-010. This Revenue Information Bulletin is available on the Internet at the Louisiana Department of Revenue's web site www.rev.state.la.us, under Rules and Legislation.

Modalert online without prescription
Modalert is an oral drug that is given to people who are
often very sleepy or finding it hard to stay awake. Modalert
encourages a wakeful feeling by stimulating the brain. It is
important to note that in order to take this medication,
your doctor has to prescribe it. In addition, this
medication was approved by the FDA in December 1998.
Modalert is usually given to those who suffer from sleep apnea or narcolepsy. It is also given to those who suffer from a shift work sleep disorder. To be clear, narcolepsy is a chronic disease of the brain and spinal cord and is characterized by an uncontrollable need to sleep. When a person has this health disorder, he or she has no control over staying awake; the urge to sleep overwhelms a person. More information about Modalert/Adderall here
As with most medications, there are some side effects with Modalert such as nausea, headache, upper respiratory tract infection, anxiety and insomnia. This medication may also cause serious skin reaction, a rise in blood pressure and psychosis. Before taking Modalert there are certain facts to keep in mind such as not drinking any alcohol. It is also important to avoid driving a car or managing machines because this medication can reduce reaction time or lessen a person's thinking and decision abilities.
It is also important before taking this medication to first talk with your doctor. Your doctor should know your complete health history so that he or she can prescribe the right dosage for you. He or she should also know about any chest pain that you have had in the past or present, should know if you have any irregular heartbeats, if you have a history of high blood pressure or if you have abused any kinds of drugs.
Modalert should be taken with a glass of water and in most cases is taken only once a day. If you miss a dose, you should take it as soon as you remember about it.
In some cases, there are other unpleasant side effects such as a decrease in one's appetite, chills, dry mouth or runny nose, depression or numbness or tingling. To ensure that this medication works well for you, be sure to talk with your doctor about your health; especially side effects you have had from other drugs.

Dru Rutledge here. Or you might know me better as the 2nd Lady or Papagena.
Let me tell you a story. A story about a fearless cast and their fearless leader (you can call her Alexis) who traversed the great lands of Oregon — crossing the beautiful Blue Mountains to meet some very tiny Astronauts, through the wonderful Wallowa Mountain range where they appeared to only be 'Halfway' there, and to the bustling hallways of the music school at Eastern Oregon University. Maybe first, I should explain in greater detail...
Monday, your band of misfits — Samm, David, Stacey, Ainsley, Ksenia, Dru (that's me), Claudia, Anthony and Kevin woke early to assemble at the Hampton Opera Center. After some much needed fuel for both the van and the pianist, we headed towards Pilot Rock Elementary. While we experienced a small detour on the way (due to a dragon slain in the middle of the road or something) we arrived in plenty of time for our first of two performances. Welcomed by a live gym and great playing stage, we performed first for the Pilot Rock Astronauts and then for two different schools who had done quite a bit of traveling of their own. We were told by the custodian that the two small but mighty schools had driven 60 minutes one-way to see The Magic Flute! After an insightful Q&A session POGO headed for the mythical land of La Grande!

In this Article
What are small intestinal bacteria overgrowth symptoms?
The symptoms of SIBO include:
A small number of patients with SIBO have chronic constipation rather than diarrhea. When the overgrowth is severe and prolonged, the bacteria may interfere with the digestion and/or absorption of food, and deficiencies of vitamins and minerals may develop. Weight loss also may occur. Patients with SIBO sometimes also report symptoms that are unrelated to the gastrointestinal tract, such as body aches or fatigue. The reason for these symptoms is unclear. The symptoms of SIBO tend to be chronic. A typical patient with SIBO can experience symptoms that fluctuate in intensity over months, years, or even decades before the diagnosis is made.
What is the normal relationship between bacteria and the small intestine?
At birth, there are no bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. During birth, however, bacteria from the mother's colon and vagina are swallowed by the infant, and, within a few weeks or months, they populate the infant's gastrointestinal tract.
The relationship between normal intestinal bacteria and their human host is complex. The relationship is symbiotic, which means that each benefits from the other. The bacteria benefit from the warm, moist environment of the small intestine that is ideal for growth as well as a constant flow of food passing down the gastrointestinal tract that provides a ready source of nutrition. The human host benefits in several ways. For example, the normal bacteria stimulate the growth of the intestinal lining and the immune system of the intestine. They prevent the growth of disease-causing bacteria within the intestine. They produce vitamin K, which is absorbed and used by the host. In fact, the bacteria are important even for the muscular activity of the small intestine; without bacteria, there is reduced muscular activity.
There is a delicate balance between the bacteria of the gastrointestinal tract and the human host. The gastrointestinal tract, particularly the small intestine, contains an extensive immune system. The immune system protects the intestine from disease-causing viruses, bacteria, and parasites. (The effects of the response of the intestinal immune response to disease-causing organism have been experienced by anyone who has experienced gastroenteritis.) The interesting fact is that the intestine does not attack the normal bacteria within it, only disease-causing bacteria. Somehow, the intestine becomes tolerant of the normal bacteria and does not mount an attack against them. The intestine has other ways that may be important in protecting it from bacteria, both normal and disease-causing. As mentioned previously, muscular activity keeps the numbers of bacteria within the intestine at a low level. Mucus that is secreted into the intestine coats the intestinal lining and prevents the bacteria from coming into contact with the lining. The intestine secretes antibodies that can block, and sometimes kill, bacteria as well as substances that prevent the growth of bacteria. Finally, the lining of the intestine can produce receptors for toxic substances produced by bacteria and can prevent the substances from exerting their toxic effects.

President Barack Obama concluded an 18 1/2-hour visit to the Southland today by conducting the first of the day's four fundraisers in three metropolitan areas.
Obama presided over what The Hollywood Reporter described as an intimate roundtable discussion at The Beverly Hilton, benefiting the Democratic National Committee, with a top ticket price of $32,400, the maximum amount that can be given to a party committee in a calendar year under federal law.
Obama then flew from Los Angeles International Airport aboard Air Force One to San Diego, where he spoke at a fundraiser at the La Jolla home of the billionaire Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
From San Diego, Obama flew aboard Air Force One to San Jose, where he participated in two fundraisers for the Democratic National Committee.
On Wednesday, Obama attempted to motivate donors to become involved in the midterm election, then accepted an award from an organization that seeks to keep alive memories of the Holocaust and other genocides.
After mentioning that Democrats are less likely to vote in midterm elections than presidential elections, Obama told the crowd of about 90 at the Bel Air mansion of Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn and his wife, Cindy, "My main message to all of you is feel a sense of urgency about this election."
"This is my last campaign and I'm going to put everything I've got into it, but I need you to feel that this is just important, because we can't afford to wait until 2016," Obama said.
In a speech of about 15 minutes, Obama recounted his achievements in office, including lower unemployment, increased wind and solar energy production, increased fuel efficiency, providing health insurance to those previously uninsured through the Affordable Care Act, and he contrasted positions held by Democrats and Republicans.
Tickets for the fundraiser benefiting the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee were priced between $10,000 to $32,400.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, also spoke to the crowd, which included entertainer Barbra Streisand, her actor husband James Brolin and DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg.
Following the fundraiser, Obama headed for the Century Plaza Hotel, where he received the highest honor from the USC Shoah Foundation -- The Institute for Visual History and Education, during its 20th anniversary Ambassadors for Humanity Gala.
Movie director Steven Spielberg, the foundation's founder, presented the Ambassador for Humanity Award to Obama for what organizers described as his global efforts to protect human rights, his commitment to education and expanding educational technology, and his work advancing opportunities for all people.
Spielberg established the foundation to collect and preserve the video testimonies of survivors and other witnesses of the Holocaust after he completed the 1993 Oscar-winning best picture "Schindler's List." The institute is seeking to expand its Visual History Archive with accounts of other atrocities, including the Armenian and Cambodian genocides.
"The testimonies of survivors like those with us tonight also remind us that the purpose of memory is not simply to preserve the past, it is to protect the future," Obama told the crowd of approximately 1,300. "The voices of those recorded and unrecorded, those who survived and those who perished call upon us, implore us and challenge us to turn 'never forget' to 'never again."'
Obama also discussed "a rising tide of anti-Semitism around the world," including "attacks on Jews in the streets of major Western cities, public places marred by swastikas" and a shooting at a Jewish community center and nursing home in Overland Park, Kansas.
"It would be tempting to dismiss these as isolated incidents, but if the memories of the Shoah survivors teach us anything, it is that silence is evil's greatest co-conspirator," Obama said, using the Hebrew word for the Holocaust.
"It's up to us -- each of us, every one of us -- to forcefully condemn any denial of the Holocaust. It's up to us to combat not only anti-Semitism, but racism and bigotry and intolerance in all their forms, here and around the world."
Talk show host Conan O'Brien hosted the event and joked about the traffic jams caused by Obama's visits. Bruce Springsteen performed "Dancing in the Dark" and "The Promised Land."
The trip is Obama's 17th to the Los Angeles area since taking office in 2009. All but three of his trips have included political fundraisers. He has made 10 trips to the area solely for fundraising.
"Since the Clinton presidency, Los Angeles has become the principal donor base for the Democratic Party," Raphael J. Sonenshein, the executive director of the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs at Cal State Los Angeles
"Thirty, 40 years ago, that would have been inconceivable because so much of the Democratic Party fundraising was on the East Coast."
Clinton "turned California into his second political home and that has pretty much continued," Sonenshein said.

As the population of Howard County has grown, so have the health care resources available to residents.
Over the past decade, Kaiser Permanente, the nation's largest health maintenance organization, opened a 17,500-square-foot center in Columbia Gateway Park, and Howard County General Hospital tripled the size of its emergency department and upgraded the obstetrics and neonatal intensive care units through a $34 million expansion. Also, Sheppard Pratt at Ellicott City opened as a private hospital specializing in mental health programs for children and adults.
In 2010, Kennedy Krieger Institute opened an outpatient clinic in Columbia to provide pediatric behavioral psychology services, while a 10-bed inpatient Gilchrist hospice facility is slated to open in 2011 in Columbia.
And this represents only a portion of the facilities and services available in Howard County.
Howard County General Hospital (HCGH) — a not-for-profit facility in Columbia — has served the community since 1973. A member of Johns Hopkins Medicine, it boasts a professional staff of more than 800 physicians and allied health professionals representing more than 70 medical specialties and sub-specialties.
The hospital is in the midst of a new expansion plan that includes a five-level patient pavilion with three new inpatient units and private rooms, all featuring the latest technology to advance patient care. Also included in the expansion are a new lobby entrance and outpatient services area as well as increased space for support departments.
Elsewhere in the hospital, professionals continue to provide the highest level of care for patients.
> Last fiscal year, 3,455 babies were born at HCGH.
> Of the 12,640 surgeries performed at the hospital, 8,969 were done on an outpatient basis at the hospital's Center for Ambulatory Surgery for procedures that are minimally invasive, result in less discomfort and require less recovery time.
> The hospital's emergency department provides comprehensive emergency and urgent care around the clock in a 36-bed adult care unit, with a separate 12-bed pediatric unit for patients 16 and younger.
> The hospital's Behavioral Emergency Unit treats patients in mental health crisis. This separate secure 10-bed unit, located adjacent to the Emergency Department, enhances the hospital's ability to respond to the mental health needs of the community. The hospital also provides a 20-bed inpatient psychiatric unit.
> Radiation oncology services are offered to cancer patients at the Central Maryland Oncology Center adjacent to the hospital campus.
> The hospital also offers an array of health-related classes. Some of these include Infant Massage, Self-Defense for Young Women, Diabetes Screening, Freedom From Smoking, Baby Signing, Positive Parenting, Babysitting Essentials, CPR, Topic of Cancer and much more. Call 410-740-7890, or visit www.hcgh.org.
The Howard County Health Department, which delivers state and federally funded services, conducts clinics for immunization, child health, prenatal care and family planning at its Ellicott City office and sites in Columbia and Laurel. Some services, such as venereal disease screening and treatment programs, are free and available to any local resident. For other services, preference is given to low-income residents in need of medical assistance. Fees are based on the ability to pay. The health department also participates in a program to screen for breast and cervical cancer in women 50 and older with no medical insurance, or whose insurance fails to cover yearly mammograms. Additional services for older residents include counseling and home visits available through the Office onAging.
For more information on available services and locations, call 410-313-6300 or visit www.co.ho.md.us/Health/HealthMain/Health_HomePage.htm.
A number of health- and wellness-related businesses and organizations call Howard County home including:
The Tai Sophia Institute (410-888-9048) The North Laurel center offers outpatient care, graduate certificates and master's degree programs in acupuncture, herbal medicine, transformative leadership and health and wellness coaching, as well as classes in tai chi, feng shui, yoga and more.

Are prepaid legal plans worth it?
Some employers offer them as a benefit, but are you better off with a la carte?
This post comes from Jim Wang at partner blog Bargaineering.
A few years ago, my former company began offering prepaid legal plans as an employee benefit. I forget the exact terms of the deal but it worked a lot like medical insurance. You paid a set amount each month and you had access to the plan's pool of lawyers. The pool could prepare certain documents for you, such as a will, and you could have consultations several times a year.
As young professionals, none of my friends took advantage of the plan because there didn't seem to be a need for it, but I wondered whether prepaid legal plans were worth it.
What are prepaid legal plans?
I did some research online and learned that plans start about $15 to $30 a month, which is in line with the monthly cost of my former employer's plan. What you get will vary by state. There are also add-ons you can buy, like $1 a month for 24-hour service, plus a la carte legal services in addition to the prepaid plan itself.
One basic family plan I looked at provides unlimited phone consultations, one call or letter (meaning the attorney would call or write a letter as your representative), unlimited personal document review (up to 10 pages each), one business document review, and one individual will. Most plans offer similar services, with varying limitations.
Prepaid legal is a lot like medical insurance. You pay a fixed amount each month, regardless of how much you use it, and you can get access to a lawyer when you need it without paying additional fees for each service. Your annual legal costs are set and you won't have to worry about a particularly bad legal year extending into your finances (at least in the case of legal fees).
Because most prepaid legal plans offer unlimited phone consultations, it can pre-empt potential legal issues. If you aren't sure about something seemingly minor, like cutting down a tree, you can call up your lawyer for advice. You may find out that you need an arborist to supervise or the permission of your neighbor.
This is the classic case of buffet vs. a la carte. With prepaid legal, you pay a set fee each month, regardless of how often you use it, and get to pick from a menu of services provided. Otherwise, should you want those services, you pay per service.
Thinking back to the last year, I needed a lawyer only once -- when I got a speeding ticket in North Carolina. For those keeping score at home, you know that I live in Maryland, so self-representation was out of the question. In order to avoid getting points on my license (which insurance companies love), I paid a North Carolina lawyer about $200 to represent me in administrative traffic court. In my particular case, I don't believe prepaid legal services would've helped.
Other considerations
One of the benefits touted by some prepaid legal services is access to a database of legal documents. You can pick up legal documents almost anywhere; the real value is in having a lawyer's trained eye review it.
If you want legal forms or documents, you can do an online search for them. When you find a form, make sure it's for your state (or the state it will be used in).
- Bing: Online legal documents
As for going a la carte, you can just open up your yellow pages or ask your friends about a lawyer who fits your needs. Interview them as you would anyone else you are buying something from (like home-improvement contractors) and find out whether their services are what you need.
So, are prepaid plans worth it? I'm not entirely sure they are. When you consider that many of the a la carte services are "one and done" types of services -- how many wills will I need to have prepared? -- I'm thinking going a la carte is probably better.
Do you have any experience with these types of services?

After all these years, it's still a thrill when Bacchanalia's manager Frances Quatrano (Anne's sister) gets up from her desk near the restaurant's entrance and leads you up the few stairs to the dining room and your table. As much as I haunt Star Provisions on bread-and-cheese shopping expeditions, I never venture into the restaurant looming in the back like a sanctum sanctorum.
This restaurant — with its yellowy glazed concrete walls, earth-toned carpeting, fluttery sheers and chocolate velvet banquettes — hums with the same timeless, chill elegance it has since relocating here in 1999 from Buckhead. It feels rarefied but relaxed; people dress up for here or they don't, but both feel comfortable.
In fact, there remains a kind of anti-establishment attitude that has always been part of Bacchanalia's special charm. Managers dress casually; the kitchen holds no secrets behind a glass wall to the dining room; dinner starts with a little something to pick up and nibble — maybe a bit of toast smeared with, say, spring ramp puree, or a raw radish spread with a flavorful butter.
As ever, the menu is a four-act play: appetizers, entrees, "cheese and contrast" and dessert. The price has crept up to $85 per person, but the menu has smartly done away with all supplemental price hikes, save a bump for the cheese trolley.
And let me tell you: $85 buys a boatload of easygoing luxury. The appetizer section brims with marquee gourmet ingredients — all those things you love but rarely get to eat anymore. Six kumamoto oysters come lined up on ice with rhubarb mignonette jelly and caviar. Foie gras torchon may be a bit too dark and tacky in texture, but it's a pleasure to spread with bits of Florida strawberry on the slices of brioche toast that arrive in a pretty toast rack.
The oddball outliers, of course, are more interesting. Surreally tender wood-grilled octopus arrives napped in an angular, greenish herb sauce that tastes of bit of Thai curry. Handmade ditali rigate pasta (small tubes) is Grinch green, made with pressed fennel juice, and tossed with turnips and morel mushrooms for a flavor as thrillingly resonant as Boris Karloff's voice.
Entrees are busier than I recall them from previous meals. The kitchen, under chef de cuisine David Carson, likes to take one protein and show it in different guises. Local Berkshire pork loin, belly and sausage kind of dart across the plate in a linear heap with Sea Island red peas, rice grits, crumbled peanuts and seasoning that hints at sticky, fatty sweetness of Chinese barbecued ribs. It's a fantastic mess of refinement, this dish.
Others are just refined — the kinds of dishes that might be called "study in…" on a more pretentiously written menu. Seared lamb loin and tenderloin with a cube of pressed corned lamb leg shares a plate with a scattering of shaved spring vegetables, mustard grains and an emerald green onion pesto. A delightful plate, but in the end I don't get that lamb-y, lanolin, yum-yum-yum I do from a great plate of fatty chops. Magret duck with confit duck leg attracted me for the prospect of crisp skin on the leg. In fact, this dish is all about the tasty slivers of russet breast, while the confit was but shreds of meat tossed with another spring vegetable medley. (Asparagus, fava beans, artichokes and green sauces are all over this hugely seasonal menu.)
This brings up my one complaint about Bacchanalia, which is that the cooking has become more mannered in recent years. We might not have ordered the "chilled Maine lobster" with grapefruit and fennel if we had known it would be a highly processed scoop of lobster salad in a fantasia of garnish. I was curious about the sea urchin rouille that accompanied a (seriously overcooked) fillet of halibut in bouillabaisse consommé, but found it to be a dot of innocuous orange sauce on a toast thin. The sorbets used to be such focused snapshots of fruit flavor, but the rhubarb sorbet on the current menu is all about the daubs and dribbles on the plate — the tiny sticks of pickled fruit and the gooey puddles of marshmallow. There are too many precise cubes of this and that skittering around the plates, even among the choices in the cheese and contrast course — Bacchanalia's hallmark. This menu used to feel lustier.
Oh, it's still there. You just have to look for it. My favorite current selection on cheese and contrast matches slivers of Zamarano (sharp, dry sheep's milk cheese) with celery, boquerones (pickled white anchovies), greens and minced egg. It's one of those dishes where each bold flavor polishes the too-sharp edges from the others.
An asparagus cake with lemon cream and pecan ice cream sounds beyond bizarre but makes perfect sense on the tongue. A gooey grapefruit tart with tarragon ice cream offers a weird thrill.
More good news: The wine list (once the weakest element) has expanded to include such well-priced finds as a fleshy 2004 Vitanza Brunello di Montalcino ($75), a great match to all the spring meat entrees. The current crop of servers are friendlier and more personable than ever, though that expensive cheese trolley needs to be presented with a touch more graciousness. It should be the grandest indulgence of the evening.

Bacchanalia is good. Not great. And Lord, save us from silly review-speak: a "fleshy" wine? "Lamby, lanolin, yum-yum-yum"? "A little something to pick up and nibble"? Give me a break.
April 28th, 2011

@Chrome: oh come on. Silly review speak? Describing food in words is an intrinsically difficult proposition, just as trying to put the impact of music, or a painting into words would be. If the notion of metaphor as a way to communicate is foreign to you, you don't read enough. And if you don't get why a wine can indeed be fleshy, you sure don't drink enough wine. To anyone who drinks wine, beyond "can I have something sweet like a white Zin?," and who thinks about it a bit, the idea of a wine having body, weight, unctuousness, in a way that might remind you of chewing meat makes sense. And fleshy communicates that in a single evocative word.
And where does lanolin come from again….that's right, sheep!! "Yum yum yum" annoys you? You don't eat enough lamb chops either.
If you don't like review-speak, why do you read them?

3 times in the last 6 months and 6 times overall, kept hoping and hoping it would get better the next time and the next but it never did. Great fresh ingredients but the vision, composition and execution never lived up to the ultra hyped name. Is it a wonder why this name never appears anywhere worth reading anymore? Service is spot on but still, this is a 3 star restaurant at best. Maybe this review will help them stick around a little longer with a boost of traffic, temporarily at least.

The 'foodie' word de jour.

The best part of Bacchanalia is Star Provisions. If you're not in the mood to go out but want a Bacchanalia quality meal, you can go there and pick up the exact same ingredients, including meats, seafood, bake goods and dairy products, that are used in the restaurant. Although not cheap, it is less expensive than going to Bacchanalia itself, which is in the same building. When looking for provisions for a dinner at home for friends or business associates, it's a great way to impress. The staff is very knowledgable and will give out fool proof receipes.

It is such a good word! It sounds like what it's trying to describe, plus it has the other, unrelated meaning with threatening implications, which can also be said of some unctuous foods (foie gras?). And it annoys Chrome.

Bacchanalia has been good but not great for me. I feel like they are still stuck in the 90's (they had foam & things like that last time I was there, blah). I think that Eugene is just so much better in terms of pushing the envelope with food (I still dream of the rosemary & goat cheese cheesecake, and field peas with pickled ginger that I had there). Yes, there will be hits & misses when you do that, but you have to respect a restaurant that is confident enough to put something out there and see if it works. My reccomendation for people looking for high end in ATL is always Eugene.
One final things about Bacchanalia: you can go sit in the bar & order off the full menu ala carte, so you don't have to pay the $85 fixed + alcohol per person. You can order beer or a glass of cheaper wine, select what you want (try a few apps if you want to try a range of items), and you are usually plied with an amuse or two between courses you'd get anyway. Skip dessert & enjoy the variety of house-made chocolates/cookies, etc. that come with your bill.
I know the purpose of this article is to highlight a special experience/high end, but for those that have never been, the bar is a way to try the food without the whole experience. Can usually get in/out for $40-50 per person (on up, depending on what you're drinking).

If Bacchanalia does not get 5 stars, which restaurant in Atlanta would? I can't think of a better restaurant in this city.
April 28th, 2011
2:30 pm
Nom – I think that perhaps is the point. At the moment, there are no 5 star restaurants here. Which may say more about the nature of Atlantans than it does about the city's chefs – in this market, restaurants that play it safe seem to be rewarded more which it makes it riskier to do what it takes to create and run a 5 star establishment.
A sucky economy may also be a factor

"FoodFan", your bar suggestion is actually a great idea. My wife and I are app's and main course people so the dessert is usually lost on us. We love Bacchanalia but are oft, "stick a fork in us", done by the time the cheese cart rolls away. Thanks for a great suggestion. I really liked Bacchanalia when it was in that funky house on Piedmont; it was a great place to take out-of-towners… I guess that was back in the '90's wasn't it? I'm getting old…
April 29th, 2011

Yes…back in the 90s and that cute house. Went there with my Dallas college roomate who appreciates fine cuisine. We got a lousy table, had equally lousy service and were practically ignored. Hope they have figured out that two women are equal customers and often tip more than men.

"….for a flavor as thrillingly resonant as Boris Karloff's voice." Now that's a clever description for green pasta. Kim Carnes once sang that "Bette Davis Eyes" can "…tease you, unease you, all the better just to please you…" (John, feel free to use this in one of your future reviews) why not John about "Karloff's voice"…a voice that once spoke for Dr. Seuss' "Grinch?" Makes me wonder how "early" (in the morning) John had to get up before finding the inspiration for the expression…or how "late" he was up watching Elvira before Karloff (nee Dr. Seuss) spoke to our favorite foodie enabling him to find his "inner-voice" and words to praise Bacchanalia's "Grinch Green Pasta™." Nonetheless John, your comparison to Karloff's voice paints for us all the correct picture; that you indeed savored the (green) dish's flavors…well said! On the other hand however…I suppose if you had not liked the dish, then perhaps an analogy to George W. Bush's oratory, Lindsey Lohan's upbringing or Charlie Sheen's personal life would/could have all been just as effective.

Wow, foodies are fierce!
By the way, the expression is "du" jour, not "de" jour, as in "dessert du jour."
Tantamount to the ignorant misuse of "au jus" on many menus. . . .

Remee Jo Lee knows what its like to lose an unborn child.
Her boyfriend gave her a pill used to cause an abortion, telling her at the time it was an anti-biotic.
Lee said, "I was deprived of my choice for my baby I will not back down I am here for myself and for all of the other victims to spread awareness and to prevent this from happening to other women."
Lee was joined by two state lawmakers, who plan to introduce legislation called the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act".
State Representative Larry Ahern is one of the sponsors.
He said, "Sometimes out of something so devastating as this some good can come of it and I would hope that would be the support of the house and the senate and the governor for this legislation."
John Andrew Welden plead guilty to two federal charges related to the death of Lee's unborn child.
The two state lawmakers say they'll sponsor the bill to prevent what happened to Lee from happening to others..
State Senator Kelli Stargell another sponsor said, "I think we need to send as message to everybody that this baby is within this woman... and any damage you do to a woman you have done to this baby, you've done to two lives not just one."
Senator Stargell was quick to point out, this is not an issue about abortion.
It is about a woman's right to give birth.
Stargell added, "We actually have provisions in this legislation that says if a person is choosing to elect an abortion you can't prosecute someone for that, so it basically is someone who has been a victim of violence and if that choice was taken from her."
Lee says she's still recovering from her loss She supports any changes in Florida's law.
"I am here to give my voice and my support in the passage of the Unborn Victims in Violence Act in Florida." added Lee.
The bill won't be introduced into the legislature until next year, but its sponsors are hopeful it will be pass.
In the meantime, Weldon will be sentenced in December.

Her achievement was recognized during the Sept. 17 Patterson Joint Unified School District board meeting.
Dr. John Borba, a professor at CSU Stanislaus who was Harris' dissertation chairman, presented Harris with a Tiffany & Co. crystal apple to commemorate the award.
Borba said he and his colleagues at the university in Turlock selected her for the award because of her communication and problem-solving skills and other attributes.
"Dianne has always demonstrated strong social confidence, a strong passion for kids teaching and learning," Borba said. "Students are the driving force in what she does."
Harris thanked Borba for the award and the board of trustees for supporting her growth in the district.
"I want to thank the board for believing in me and for the opportunities afforded to me," she said.
Harris, a Newman native, is in her ninth year working in the local school district. She took over principal duties at Las Palmas last year.
When she joined the district, she taught business classes for three years, was a guidance learning coordinator for two years and then became vice principal of curriculum for two years at Patterson High School.
Harris was also among 70 outstanding students at CSU Stanislaus who received the dean's Medal of Excellence during a "Salute to Achievers" ceremony in May. The medal went to the top-performing students in each major.

1. In a series of 120 cases showing manic-depressive, dementia præcox, psychoneurotic, and psychopathic personality reactions, the removal of focal infection in 58 cases did not result in a higher percentage of improvement or recoveries than in a comparable group of 62 cases in which foci of infection were not removed.2. Reviewing the entire group of operated cases showing recovery or improvement, and comparing the original prognoses with the subsequent course, our observations demonstrate that in every case that recovered, a recovery had been forecast before treatment was started; and that no case recovered in which a poor prognosis had been given. Furthermore, in only one case did an unexpected improvement occur.3. A critical study of the methods used by Cotton for establishing focal infection has proven them to be unsatisfactory for teeth, stomach, lower intestine, and cervix.4. It is desirable to eliminate focal infection when adequately demonstrated in psychotic patients in the same way as one should attempt to alleviate any physical disorder in mentally diseased patients. Nevertheless, it has not been shown that focal infection is the etiological factor in the functional psychoses.

James Scott (composer)
James Sylvester Scott (February 12, 1885 – August 30, 1938) was an African-American ragtime composer, regarded as one of the three most important composers of classic ragtime, along with Scott Joplin and Joseph Lamb.[1]
Life and career[edit]
He was born in Neosho, Missouri to James Scott Sr. and Molly Thomas Scott, both former slaves. In 1901 his family moved to Carthage, Missouri, where he attended Lincoln High School. In 1902 he began working at the music store of Charles L. Dumars, first at menial labor, but before long demonstrating music at the piano, including his own pieces. Demand for his music convinced Dumars to print the first of Scott's published compositions, "A Summer Breeze", in 1903.[1]
In 1906 he moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where Scott Joplin introduced him to publisher John Stillwell Stark. The first Scott rag that Stark published, "Frog Legs Rag", became a hit, and Scott became a regular contributor to the Stark catalogue. In 1914 Scott moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where he married Nora Johnson, taught music, and accompanied silent movies.[1][2]
With the arrival of sound movies, his fortunes declined. He lost his theater work, his wife died without child, and his health deteriorated.[2] Though it is said he continued to compose, he published nothing after Stark's retirement in 1922. He died in Kansas City, Kansas and was buried there in the Westlawn Cemetery.
Scott's best-known compositions include "Climax Rag", "Frog Legs Rag", "Grace and Beauty", "Ophelia Rag" and "The Ragtime Oriole".
Scott was a cousin of blues singer Ada Brown.[1]
