Written by:
Saying unto them, "No greater love hath a man
Than he lay down his life, for his friends...."
Well, I have tried to lay down my life over time
Beyound any desires of recognition and or fame!?
If only but for a moment betwixt this existence; days
Which so very quickly fade away within this place....
Hopes that I may become but a vessel to perhaps
Save even one Souls precious light
As I gaze deeply upon these Sonadora's?!
Amid amazement and astonishment sometimes
But I do understand and I do believe the fulfilling
Of their desires and of their needs; belief....
Innocently, such heart felt dreams which in turn
Causes me to love them even more; oh this paradox
That I seem to find myself within; for to embrace them
Is all that I long to do but I cannot often find
These different temporal views....
My eyes cast into the forevers gates and beyound
A slave unto eternities realities it seems; chained amid
The Holy Spirit, immersed inside of me ~
This will of my Lord and Savior, "Jesus Christ!"
He whom delivered my own Soul, from such bondage
Of sin and darkness' encumbering eyes....
Oh that I could please all that I could be all!?
But no time shall build my house upon a rock
The foundation of truth and promises I do grasp
Tightly that no storms may ever arise again
To find my Soul crashing unto the ground this mound
In distant and lost ruins that may have one day been
So now within this anguish of flesh and blood
Let my heart set aside these wayward dreams
If only but even one Spirit they can be saved....
Within this potters field; shall I adorn this tombstone?!
Before the world and all of 'their' eyes to behold
That I may stand upon the throne of, "God"
Someday aside love's prophets and the saints
Angels smiling as they joyfully weep
"Well done My child ~ Welcome home...."
For now I lay me down to sleep, that
Heaven may hold my Soul to keep ~

Lisle, Illinois~ "Hooah!" Jill Morgenthaler energetically erupts as a crowd of nearly 600 responds "Hooah" at Benedictine University's annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast.
Explaining that "Hooah" is Army talk for "I got you. I understand. OK. It will be done," Morgenthaler, a retired U.S. Army colonel from Des Plaines, encouraged the crowd "to go out and have the backs of other Americans, whether black, white, gay or Muslim."
She recounted some of the verbal abuses she received as a woman while going through basic training in the U.S. Army.
"I was called every vulgar name in the book and I had to stand there and take it," Morgenthaler said.
However, during a few of the more abusive tirades by her superior officers, she felt a presence behind her. Each time she sensed this presence, the abuse would stop. One day she turned around to discover that the shadowy figure was an African-American sergeant who was looking out for her and wanted to ensure she was being treated fairly.
Morgenthaler took the fortuitous relationship with the sergeant as a call for her to do the same, should she have the opportunity. One day, she offered counseling and support to a group of African-American lesbians who were facing a dishonorable discharge because of their sexual orientation. At the time, U.S. military law did not allow homosexuals to enlist, so Morgenthaler recommended they not disclose their sexuality.
"The women told me, 'Capt. Morgenthaler, we can't hide the fact that we are women and we can't hide the fact that we are African-American, but we sure can lie about us being lesbian,' and they did and went on to have great careers in the Army.
"That day I disobeyed an order, but that day I also did the right thing," Morgenthaler said.
Morgenthaler, who is white, put her own struggles into perspective as she tried to understand the struggles of African-Americans across the nation, and particularly African-American soldiers in her command.
"I told them, 'I don't see you as African-American soldiers – I see you all as soldiers,' Morgenthaler said. "They told me, 'If you don't see me as an African-American soldier, then you don't understand the depths of my pain.'"
Morgenthaler warned that not talking to the other (meaning groups different than ourselves) not only creates societal disharmony, but at its worse, leads to violence. She mentioned how clashes between different racial and ethnic groups led to bloodshed during the civil rights movement and the Bosnian and Kosovar wars.
"Start the conversation," she said.
Morgenthaler was one of the first women to train as an equal with men in the collegiate Reserve Officers Training Corps scholarship program at Penn State University. She served as the first woman battalion commander in the 88th Regional Support Command, was the first woman brigade commander in the 84th Division of the U.S. Army Reserves and was also Illinois' first Homeland Security advisor.
The King Breakfast is one of the largest events of its kind in DuPage County. A portion of the proceeds benefits the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Fund at both schools. Two Benedictine University students were honored as recipients of King scholarships, which are awarded based on a number of criteria including community service.
Benedictine students awarded a King scholarship were Maraea D. Mason, a senior Communication Arts major, of Lombard; and Sydney Van Alstyne, a sophomore Health Science major of Island Lake.
The Rt. Rev. Dismas B. Kalcic, O.S.B., of St. Procopius Abbey, offered the invocation. Musical entertainment was provided by the DuPage AME Church Choir.
Benedictine University is an independent Roman Catholic institution located in Lisle, Illinois just 25 miles west of Chicago. Founded in 1887, Benedictine provides 56 undergraduate majors, 16 graduate and four doctorate programs. The Chronicle of Higher Education recently ranked Benedictine University as the seventh fastest-growing campus among private nonprofit master's universities, and Forbes magazine named Benedictine among the top 20 percent of America's colleges for 2011. Benedictine University's Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is listed by Crain's Chicago Business as the fourth largest in the Chicago area in 2011.

News from the SGF: Latvia completes SGF project for Teici Reserve
Latvia completes SGF project for Teici Reserve
Annex: Photographs and further details
(text and photos submitted with project final report)
Main activity of the project purchasing of land for nature conservation needs. Purchased land pieces were with high nature values and endangered by forest lodging. Two land properties (Kurtavas salinas, 46.7 ha and Ergli, 10.1 ha), were purchased with the help of this project and registered on the name of Ministry of Environment protection and Regional Development, of Latvia and added to Teici Reserve. Now this land will be used and managed according to prescriptions of national legislation for protected areas and Ramsar guidelines.
Border-mark of Teici Nature Reserve
Pictures the signs with a Ramsar logo shows that the property "Kurtavas salinas" was purchased with a help of SGF for nature conservation needs.
High biodiversity was detected in property "Kurtavas salinas" (46.7 ha), purchased during the project. The following habitats and species under EU concervation concern "Bog woodland", "Western taiga", "Ficedula parva", "Lanius collurio", "Tetrao tetrix tetrix", "Strix uralensis" (top right picture Ural owl), "Glaucidium passerinum", "Aegolius funereus", "Dryocopus martius", "Picoides tridactylus" etc. were investigated here.
The land was historically private owned as non-protected area inside of the Teici nature reserve. After the reprivatisation of property, intensive use of forest clearcuttings was planned in the largest part of area during 1999 2001. With the help of the Ramsar SGF project this area was saved and added to Teici Nature Reserve.
Pictures - mature forest of "Western taiga" and "Bog woodland" cover the largest part of property "Kurtavas salinas".
Main value of land property "Ergli" (10,1 h) is nest of Golden Eagle Aquila chrysaetos.
This is one from 5 pairs nesting in all Latvia, and one from nests of this pair (occupied 1988 and 2000) previously was located in private forest near borders of Teici Nature Reserve. Also this forest, like in "Kurtavas salinas", was planned for intensive forestry. Now the necessary protection for this forest is provided with the help of the Ramsar SGF project. This area was saved and added to Teici Nature Reserve.
Both purchased areas are used by Black Grouse Tetrao tetrix tetrix for feeding, nesting and rearing of youngs. Males of grouse were usually observed in the meadows in the middle of property "Kurtavas salinas" during last decade. Therefore management of meadows, started from next season, (necessary also for maintanence of natural meadow vegetation) probably will improve habitat necessary for leek of Grouse in future.

Musicians from all over the nation are in Iowa City this weekend for the Iowa City Jazz Festival.
The festival not only features music but games and rides for kids, food and drink vendors, arts and crafts and even ice skating in July.
For some, it's a chance to learn about not just jazz but several forms of art.
"I think this is an opportunity for people to experience different types of arts. That's part of what we do with summer of the arts we try and provide the chance for families to learn more about jazz music," said Lisa Barnes, Executive Director of the Iowa City Summer of the Arts.
The jazz festival usually brings in about 50,000 people over the weekend.
It continues through Sunday night in downtown Iowa City.

Youth employment and unemployment in July 2010
September 03, 2010
In July, the employment-population ratio for youth—the proportion of the 16- to 24-year-old civilian noninstitutional population that was employed—was 48.9 percent. This was the lowest July rate on record for the series, which began in 1948. (The month of July typically is the summertime peak in youth employment.)
In July, the employment-population for youth was down 2.5 percent from July 2009 and has dropped by about 20 percentage points since its peak in July 1989.
The employment-population ratio for young men was 49.9 percent in July, down from 52.2 percent in July 2009. The employment-population ratios for women (48.0 percent), whites (53.0 percent), and Hispanics (43.6 percent) in July 2010 also were substantially lower than a year earlier.
The youth unemployment rate edged up over the year to 19.1 percent in July—the highest July rate on record for the series, which also began in 1948.
Among major demographic groups, the unemployment rates for young men (20.5 percent), blacks (33.4 percent), and Asians (21.6 percent) continued to trend up from a year earlier; the jobless rates for young women (17.5 percent), whites (16.2 percent), and Hispanics (22.1 percent) were virtually unchanged.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. The data are not seasonally adjusted. To learn more about youth employment and unemployment, see "Employment and Unemployment Among Youth—Summer 2010" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL 10-1175.

Perfect size for a toddler, beautiful on its on - it has a really nice tone-on-tone stripe - or with a duvet cover. The weight is ideal, and it tends to stay in place even when the child changes position during the night. It is absolutely our grandson's favorite. He refers to it as "soft"; when our daughter is reading him his bedtime story, she knows it's time to put him down when he points to the crib and says, "soft." If he wakes earlier than usual in the morning and she takes him to hers and hubby's bed, he points to the comforter and says "soft" - it has to go with him. I like it so much that I've just bought a second one for here at my house!
It is soft and sized right. Has loops to tie duvet cover so it doesn't slide around inside the duvet. Great buy. Highly recommend.

"Looking at it myself now from a
distance I should say that, in addition to my tree-love, . . . it arose
from my own preoccupation with the Lord of the Rings, the knowledge
that it would be finished in great detail or not at all, and fear (near
certainty) that it would be 'not at all.' The war had arisen to darken all
horizons. But no such analysis are a complete explanation of a short
--Letter to Caroline Everett, 24 June 1957
"It is not really or properly an
'allegory' so much as 'mythical'. For Niggle is meant to be a real
mixed-quality person and not an 'allegory' of any single vice or
virtue. Of course some elements are explicable in biographical terms (so
obsessively interesting to modern critics that they often value a piece of
'literature' solely in so far as it reveals the author, and especially if
that is in a discreditable light.)"
--Letter Jane Neave, 8-9 September 1962
Tom Shippey has argued in J.R.R. Tolkien
Author of the Century that Leaf by Niggle is really best
understood as an allegory of Tolkien's own "niggling" impulse, a
scholar who revises too much to publish much of his work, a writer who
revises so much his work was almost not published and which generated the
massive legendarium of the History of Middle-Earth. Shippey argues
that Niggle and Parish represent two sides of Tolkien--the writer and
scholar versus the practical person of daily life, bound by academic and
familial duties.
Tolkien himself seems to both admit to an
autobiographical and allegorical reading of the story only to dismiss it,
stressing it is more a mythical work.
Discussion Questions
"Medićval MSS are not
(in my not very extensive experience) good on trees. I have among my
'papers' more than one version of a mythical 'tree', which crops up
regularly at those times when I feel driven to pattern-designing. They are
elaborated and coloured and more suitable for embroidery than printing;
and the tree bears besides various shapes of leaves many flowers small and
large signifying poems and major legends."
--Letter in response to Rayner Unwin's request for a drawing for Tree
and Leaf, 23 December 1963
Thought Experiment
Look at the cover from an audio book
version of Leaf by Niggle. Does the cover do justice to Niggle's
tree? Did you imagine it differently? Are their elements of the story that
do not easily translate into a visual medium despite its metaphor/symbol
of painting? Why or why not?
"All manner of thing shall be well/ When the tongues of flame are in-folded/ Into
the crowned knot of fire/ And the fire and the rose are one." -- T.S. Eliot, Little

Product Information Menu
Most people don't realize that vitamin E contains eight different compounds. Commercial vitamin E supplements focus on only four of these compounds called tocopherols, while mostly leaving out the four tocotrienols that are rich in therapeutic and antioxidant benefits. Life Extension's Tocotrienols with Sesame Lignans softgel capsules contain tocotrienols derived from red palm oil from the Elaeis guineensis tree.
Due to their unique chemical structure, tocotrienols provide potent antioxidant benefits throughout the body. Most importantly, tocotrienols shield DNA from oxidant damage while protecting cellular membranes. As research continues to accelerate, scientists are discovering that tocotrienols support healthy cell division,1 promote a healthy lipid profile,2 protect brain function,3 and even support healthy hair growth.4
In 2010, a team of Asian scientists demonstrated that this class of nutrients, which are difficult to obtain in sufficient quantities through dietary sources alone, may provide superior support in maintaining triglyceride levels already within healthy range in aging individuals. Just 120 mg per day of gamma-delta tocotrienols (provided in 2-3 softgels) induced a 28% decline in triglyceride levels in the blood after eight weeks.5
Sesame lignans have been added to Life Extension's red palm oil-derived tocotrienols to help block or inhibit the enzyme that breaks tocotrienols down, thereby increasing tissue levels.6 This translates into much greater antioxidant protection, decreasing destructive free radicals.

See all my reviews
Comments about Life Extension Tocotrienols with Sesame Lignans, 60 softgels:
Tocotrienols (derived from palm fruit) are the least known, least-understood...yet the most powerful members of the vitamin E family.Tocotrienols play critical roles in blood vessel, brain, skin health, and other vital organs, tissues and systems being studied.Human studies have shown that aging individuals with the highest blood levels of all ALL vitamin E isomers (Tocopherols & Tocotrienols) have a significantly reduced risk for age-related cognitive impairment.If you are not supplementing with all eight vitamin E isomers, you will NOT receive optimum protection from age-related cardiovascular & cerebral vascular ailments.The addition of sesame lignans has synergistic benefits for this and other fat-soluble nutrients.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

NORFOLK --A second night of repairs to damaged lighting in the Downtown Tunnel will begin Thursday night.
The right lane of the westbound tunnel will close at 8:00 p.m. and reopen at 5:00 a.m. Friday, a repeat from Wednesday.
A dump truck hit about three dozen lights during the morning rush hour Monday, forcing the tunnel to close for about 90 minutes.
Elizabeth River Crossings spokeswoman Leila Rice says other drivers flagged him down.
"I don't think he was aware of what was going on. A few citizens following him in the tunnel slowed him down to let him know," she said.
There was no estimate of the cost of the damage.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A suspect wanted in connection with stabbing two women in Clarksville has been arrested in Kentucky.
James Choate was taken into custody Friday afternoon and was being held at the Christian County Jail in Hopkinsville.
Clarksville Police said Choate has been accused of stabbing Crystal Furin and her mother, Rockanne Furin, inside a home in the 600 block of Norris Drive.
Police said he fled the scene in one of the women's cars.
One of the victims called 911 for help around 7:40 a.m. Friday. Police said the original call for help indicated one of the victims had also been shot, but that turned out not to be true.
Another man was also initially implicated in the incident, but police said that was no longer the case.
Both victims were taken to the hospital, where Crystal Furin was said to be in critical condition. Both were expected to make a full recovery.
Police said they do not believe the crime was random.
The investigation remains ongoing.

The Oles were led by strong performances from Christina Schwictenberg '06 and Kristina Stoermer '08, both finishing with 12 points.
The contest went back and forth in the first half; the score was 26-23 in favor of St. Olaf as the teams headed for the locker room.
To begin the second half, however, the Oles erupted with a 25-4 run, blowing the game wide open. Schwictenberg shot 6-of-9 from the field and added six assists. Stoermer shot 6-for-7, while adding three assists and two steals.
Martin Luther was troubled by St. Olaf's half-court and full-court trap defense the entire game. The Knights committed 29 turnovers as a result of the pressure.
Forward Christina Sampson '07 was impressed by her team's performance on defense.
"We kept our defensive intensity up through the whole game," Sampson said. "We never gave in."
The Oles defense was definitely the highlight of the night, as Martin Luther managed just 46 points all game. However, the team's offensive production was impressive as well. St. Olaf shot a solid 47.8 percent from the field, while simultaneously holding Martin Luther to a dismal 35.8 percent. The Oles also grabbed seven more rebounds than the Knights.
"We defintely rebounded well [Monday night]," said Sampson, who pulled down seven boards herself. "Hopefully we can continue to do that during the MIAC season."
On Nov. 22, St. Olaf defeated Buena Vista University in overtime 91-88. Holly Grimsud '07 put the Oles ahead with a layup with 23 seconds left, improving St. Olaf's record to 1-1.
Both Schwictenberg and Sampson tallied 18 points.
St. Olaf's overall record is now 2-2, and Sampson knows teamwork will be a key factor if the Oles are to gain a second-consecutive playoff berth this season.
"We all push each other hard in practice every day, and it makes everyone a better player," Sampson said. "We have a lot of confidence in one another and we've got really high expectations for the conference season."
The Oles looked to improve upon their 2-2 start in their first MIAC action at Augsburg College on Wednesday. They travel to Collegeville, Minn. to face a solid St. Benedicts squad Saturday.

1981 - 2002
The arrival of former striker Joe Royle as Walker's replacement was the catalyst for a tremendous revival that ended in FA Cup glory at Wembley.
Royle's effect was instant.
Everton defeated Liverpool 2-0 at Goodison in his first match and from the moment that Duncan Ferguson, on loan from Glasgow Rangers, powered home a header for the opening goal, a love affair between the big Scot and the Everton fans was launched.
Ferguson's move was swiftly made permanent and, from an almost hopeless position at the foot of the table, Everton finished 15th in the table.
But it was the FA Cup that provided the more abiding memories.
The 4-1 semi-final win over Tottenham at Elland Road is widely regarded as the most compelling Everton performance of the 90s, with Daniel Amokachi, a Nigerian international etching himself into Goodison folklore with two late goals after coming on as a substitute.
The final hero was Paul Rideout, who headed the only goal of the match to bring the FA Cup back to Goodison for the fifth time.
The defence of the Cup ended at lowly Port Vale the following season, but the most consistent league campaign for years left Everton in a Premiership finishing position of sixth - agonisingly close to a UEFA Cup qualification position.

My daughter is now 14 ½ and this last birthday was the FIRST birthday I wasn't misty-eyed all evening (her 13th birthday was also her bat mitzvah, and I had HAPPY reasons to be misty-eyed).
You do need to get help for your daughter's sake as well as yourself. I work with kids, and kids with overly-anxious and/or depressed parents often are themselves struggling later on. When you take care of yourself, you are able to let her grow, and develop, at least a bit free of your fear. That hyper-vigilance you speak of is very, very common with PTSD, and the good news is that you CAN get help, and it DOES get better...with hard work, yes, and often medication. What happens is that the memories actually wear a groove in your thinking and brainwaves, and your brain chemistry adjusts to being in that constant state of "alert." Sometimes it does take medication to stop that short circuit in your brain so that you're able to react to the real circumstances in front of you, rather than the memories that you experience as though for the first time.
I work in NICUs as part of my career, and work with parents who have had horrendously traumatic experiences like yours (and mine). Those first couple of years are hard enough. But the time and work do help to make it better, and allow you to truly enjoy your daughter...and perhaps think of a sibling down the road when YOU are ready.
Best of luck to you both. :)

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow...
I don't care as much for, "There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow...blah blah."
After some deliberation, I went with "It's Tough to be a Bug". Although 3D shows are a dime-a-dozen anymore, this one stands tall. The jokes are fresh, the gags are memorable, the in-theater effects are the most enjoyable of all the 3D shows, and the finale is one of the perfect moments in theme park history: grubs, maggots, and cockroaches. Brilliant, one of the few attractions that outshines the source movie.
That's not to say there's much wrong with Carousel. I absolutely love that attraction, even though the final scene feels dated. Although I would like to see it updated, I fear they may butcher it.
Tough choice, but Bug takes it.

The second version of the Kawasaki Z750 hits the right spot for lovers of style and a zinging engine. Much underrated in its original guise, the Kawasaki Z750 mimics the new stunning Kawasaki Z1000 for attitude, but has an engine that reaps rewards when abused and comes at much better price due to lower spec chassis parts. Watch our ...
953cc, 122.3bhp, 145mph, Insurance group 15
The Kawasaki Z1000 is revamped enough to be called 'new'. The Kawasaki Z1000's styling exercise is worthy of a Modern Tate placing – nothing else Japanese has so many styling details. The ex-ZX-9R motor is tweaked for a less frantic upper rpm delivery and now, in the Kawasaki Z1000 exudes cream-like torque from zero revs. A big-bore super-naked machine that is ...
899cc, 143bhp, 175mph, Insurance group 16
Like so many motorcycles the Kawasaki ZX-9R began life as a sports machine, didn't quite cut it and ended up as an excellent sporty sports-tourer. It's indecently fast and should put 175+mph on the clock with minimal hassle. Early Kawasaki ZX-9Rs were heavy but from the 'C' variant of 1998 onwards it's light enough to be a capable if not ...
748cc, 123bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 16
The Kawasaki ZX-7R is proof that a motorcycle doesn't have to be the latest, lightest and most powerful to be popular. The Kawasaki ZX-7R was no match for Suzuki's GSX-R750 when launched in 1996 and was never updated significantly until it was deleted in 2003. But people love them and bought the Kawasaki ZX-7R because it looked great and they're ...

The Kawasaki ZRX1200 is a big, beefy, retro styled bike with plenty of grunt, a comfortable riding position and good looks (especially the Kawasaki ZRX1200 R version, which pays homage to the Eddie Lawson replica Z1100R of the '80s). But the Kawasaki ZRX1200 is really heavy, has a notchy gearbox and the handling and braking feels outdated compared to the ...
953cc, 125bhp, 152mph, Insurance group 15
With its "My first migraine" colourschemes, bold, shotgun-style quad exhausts and huge hung-out in-the breeze motor you won't mistake the Kawasaki Z1000 for anything else out on the road. It goes just like it looks, thanks to some huge shove, courtesy of that ex-superbike lump.
675cc, 49bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 8
Relive the 60s with the delightful Kawasaki W650. Styling is spot on – the exhausts are closer to a 60s Bonneville than Triumph's own latter day replica. Modern handling, engine and reliability means all the joy of a classic with none of the grief. Relaxed performance unlike the Boneneville of the 1960s.
2053cc, 103bhp, 120mph, Insurance group 15
Cruising is all about having a relaxed mindset and there's no better way to ease yourself into that state than the big Kawasaki Vulcan VN2000. It ticks all the right boxes – lots of black paint, lots of chrome, a huge 200-section rear tyre and, of course, a lolloping wildebeest of an engine.
99cc, 10bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 4
If you want basic transport, in a two stroke trail bike package, then the Kawasaki KE100 is arguably the template for the entire class. Starting life as the 100 G4 TR, it evolved into the KM100 and KE100, eventually killed off by looming emissions regulations in 1998. The lKawasaki KE100 has sightly dodgy brakes and electrics, but otherwise a tough, ...
651cc, 42bhp, 94mph, Insurance group 8
There's nothing quite so surprising as something utterly unremarkable. And so it is with the Kawasaki KLR650 – it's comfortable, grunty, quiet and reliable. Forget your fancy-pants BMW R1200GS' - providing you can live with adjusting and lubing a chain the Kawasaki KLR650 is at least as good at overlanding and a mere fraction of the price.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - National figures show one in six seniors are threatened by hunger.
Nutrition Program Director at Active Generations Melissa Townsend says this is March for Meals Month.
Townsend says Meals on Wheels serves mainly homebound elderly over sixty. She says there's been an increase of ten clients a month this winter so there's a need for more drivers. Senior meals offer hot, nutritious meals every weekday which meet a third of an older person's dietary needs.

Active Generations is hosting March for Meals Community Champions Week beginning March 17. Meals on Wheel will hold a drive-thru meal fundraiser on Wednesday, March 19, with a Mexican menu. Tickets are available at Active Generations on West 46th Street.

opportunities. In addition to "studio recitals" provided for students by each instructor, Prep Music hosts department-wide events completely unique to us: Friday Evening Recitals, Honors Auditions, a Concerto Competition and subsequent Concerto Festival, and a Pops Concert. While we are a tuition-based community music school, tuition alone does not meet the costs of providing these wonderful programs to our students. Support from donors and volunteers strengthens our ability to fulfill our mission and reach the goals of our program.
The mission of the preparatory music department is to develop the musical potential in young people by creating a nurturing environment where students, teachers and parents together foster a life-long appreciation of music.
We believe that music:
This philosophy provides a logical, developmentally sound approach to
instrumental learning. Based on how children learn their language, it begins with training the ear and with fostering ability in a nurturing environment. Music reading proceeds once a sense of musicality and fluency are achieved.
Students register through Holy Names University Preparatory Music Department. Most lessons are given on the Holy Names University campus, although some instructors teach locally in their home studios.
Holy Names University's popular PMD family event features music on all instruments of non-Classical, popular and New Age themes.

Aisha Harris had her iPhone 5 for just a few months before she said it was snatched from her hands at a Marathon gas station on Eight Mile and Berg.
Harris went there on her lunch break and was on the phone with her finance.
"While I was standing there paying the clerk for my beverage and my chips, a man came, and he just pushed me into the counter and grabbed my phone while I was actually talking on it," she said.
It appears it was all a plot, a pair of punks preying on the unsuspecting.
"One guy was the one that actually took my phone while I was on it, and then another guy held the door open for him to be able to run out," Harris said. "The gas station attendant told me that the guy comes in every hour just to rob someone, and he'll leave and then come back within the next hour."
Harris called the cops. She said hours passed before they showed up. When they arrived, Harris said they told her this could have ended a lot worse. They had dealt with this guy before, and he often carries a gun.
Harris said she will have to pay hundreds of dollars to buy a new iPhone. Meanwhile, there have been no arrests.

Remembering A Special Trip To Japan
Having watched the television reports from Japan after the recent earthquake and tsunami damage, I couldn't help but think about my only visit to that faraway country. Even though my trip occurred in the spring of 1997, I somehow felt connected to this tragedy affecting a country known for its orderly and meticulous approach to everyday life.
I was traveling with a Cotton Council International group that included Executive Vice President Allen Terhaar, California producer Fred Starrh, who was CCI president, and several other CCI staffers. We were touring important customers for U.S. cotton and had made stops in Taiwan and Korea before heading to our final destinations in Osaka and Tokyo.
It was a 10-day whirlwind trip that was non-stop in every sense of the word. Morning receptions, luncheons, media events and evening dinners were what we dealt with every day. My job was to take photos of the entire trip and make sure I took the lens cap off the camera. We had to forget about jet lag because there was simply no time to worry about such things. Up to that point, every country was a fascinating cultural experience even if I had encountered problems adjusting to 10-course meals in Korea.
When our plane touched down in Osaka, my first impression of Japan was how efficiently the masses of people made their way from the airport to waiting trains and taxis. Everyone moved in unison and with a purpose. There was no frenzied chaos. Just a sense of many throngs of people surviving in a densely populated area.
After we completed our meetings and obligations in Osaka, the next task was traveling to Tokyo. Instead of flying by plane, we rode on the bullet train, which was like traveling on a ground-based rocket at more than 100 miles per hour. This is where it was easier to view the countryside outside the big cities. We floated along and saw a different Japan as our train cut a swath through hills, mountains and flatland.
Farmers and workers tended to their rice fields and barely even noticed as our train whizzed by. Occasionally, someone would stand to watch us. Others would wave. Some simply stared as if we were just another daily nuisance. Later on, after arriving in Tokyo, we walked on some of the city's busiest downtown streets and learned that the Japanese are proud people who might speak a different language but actually are warm and friendly.
These are the memories I have of a country that I'll probably never see again. My hope is that these people will find a way to survive and rebuild their lives after this recent tragedy.
Fourteen years later, their smiles and laughter are still hard to forget.

Banks open for business with marijuana dealers

WASHINGTON (BP) -- Banks can do business with marijuana dealers according to a new set of guidelines issued by the Obama administration that could be used to pressure Congress to change federal law regarding the drug, which has been legalized in several states.
Because marijuana remains a Schedule 1 drug along with heroin, LSD and Ecstasy under the Controlled Substances Act, federal law prohibits banks from conducting business with marijuana sellers.
But the Obama administration, in separate advisories from the Treasury Department and the Justice Department Feb. 14, attempted to ease concerns about prosecution in states where the drug can be sold legally.
Twenty states and the District of Columbia have passed laws allowing the sale of medical marijuana, and Washington and Colorado also have legalized its recreational use. More states are considering loosening their laws.
Barrett Duke, a Southern Baptist ethicist, warned that banks should "steer clear of marijuana businesses for the sake of their communities as well as their livelihood."
"Banks are crucial institutions in society. Through them, communities are able to obtain the funding they need to improve the lives of their residents. For banks to provide their services to the purveyors of marijuana runs contrary to this important function," Duke, vice president for public policy at the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, told Baptist Press.
As a destructive drug, marijuana interferes with the spiritual, personal and professional wellbeing of those who use it and impacts their loved ones, Duke said.
"Banks would be good community partners if they refused to provide their services to those whose products hurt the communities they seek to help," he said.
The new guidelines follow comments by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder last month, saying a public safety problem is created by forcing marijuana businesses to use cash only.
"Huge amounts of cash, substantial amounts of cash, just kind of lying around with no place for it to be appropriately deposited is something that would worry me from just a law enforcement perspective," Holder said at the University of Virginia.
Under the guidelines, all transactions with marijuana dealers should be flagged "suspicious," and banks will be required to report them. If banks believe the transactions are legal, they are to file them as "marijuana limited" transactions, and if they are suspected to be illegal, they are to give the "marijuana priority" label.
Following the guidelines is supposed to protect banks from prosecution under federal drug and money laundering statutes.
Bankers associations said the guidelines don't go far enough because enforcement can change from administration to administration and only Congress can change federal law on marijuana.
Duke said banks are justified in their concerns about providing services to businesses that sell an illegal narcotic.
"The decision by the administration to allow them to provide these services should do little to comfort them," Duke said. "Making the banks responsible for determining the reputable nature of these businesses creates a significant legal liability for them. At any moment, their decision could be questioned and the regulators would swoop in.
"Our country needs a more effective anti-drug policy, not surrender. I hope our churches will encourage the banks in their communities to uphold community values rather than chasing profits at the expense of their communities," Duke said. "Our communities need our churches to stand tall for biblical values and virtue. May their communities find them to be the strong supports they need to withstand the moral erosion they are facing."

PCI Compliance:
We provide payment card industry compliance services to organizations that store, process, and/or transmit payment card data. Our services provide organizations the tools they need to efficiently manage payment card data risks and drive on-going compliance.
Quarterly Vulnerability Scans / Annual Penetration Testing
As a PCI Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV), Continuum can validate a merchant or service provider's adherence to the PCI Data Security Standard by performing vulnerability scans of their external-facing environments. The PCI DSS requires the on-going testing of systems and processes that support your payment card environment, and Continuum is qualified to conduct the required annual penetration tests as identified by the PCI DSS. Benefits include:
- certified and industry-tested professionals
- business process-centric approach to risk identification
Annual Onsite Assessment
As a Payment Card Industry Qualified Security Assessor (PCI QSA), Continuum works directly with merchants and service providers to achieve and maintain compliance with the requirements and sub-requirements of the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS). Benefits include:
- comprehensive assessment and audit methodology
- compliance reporting and explanation
- assessment report with practical mitigation strategies
- subject matter experts with industry experience and practical application of the PCI DSS
Self Assessment Assistance
As a PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), Continuum not only guides organizations through the process of PCI self assessment, but also provides experienced insight into the PCI DSS requirements.
PCI Readiness Assessment
As a regulatory compliance and information security organization, Continuum has an extensive knowledge of information systems and compliance regulations that impact organizations. Continuum helps organizations prepare for a PCI assessment by determining if controls and configurations are in place to promote PCI DSS compliance. Benefits include:
- identify and prioritize PCI compliance initiatives
- identify risks that are important to your business
- develop strategies for continuous compliance and monitoring
HIPAA and HITECH:
The first and most important item to address is the fact that the only true "HIPAA Audit" is one conducted at the request of the Department of Health and Human Services. Continuum is not an approved auditor for these requests.
Once this base understanding is agreed upon between all parties, Continuum is highly qualified to conduct gap analysis assessments between HIPAA and the HITECH Act. With HITECH extending HIPAA and not replacing or superseding it, we often suggest a combination of the following approaches for addressing HIPAA and HITECH:
- NIST 800-66 assessments as an approach to controls in place. This approach is especially useful for firms dealing with CMS or Federal Government contracts.
- Continuum has also created workflows that map ISO27002 to HIPAA to PCI v2.0. This approach is often adopted by organizations trying to blend HIPAA "compliance" into other regulatory issues they are facing.
