Chautauqua Airlines Breaks Ground on New Aircraft Maintenance Facility at Louisville International Airport
Wednesday March 9, 2005
The Louisville Regional Airport Authority officially broke ground today for an aircraft maintenance complex for Chautauqua Airlines. The facility will be the anchor tenant at the Louisville International Commerce Cente, serving as Chautauqua Airlines' new, permanent facility in Louisville. The facility is expected to generate 300 well–paying jobs in Louisville; the average salary is expected to be more than $34,000 annually.
"I want to thank Chautauqua Airlines for bringing this tremendous economic development opportunity to the greater Louisville area," said Governor Ernie Fletcher. "Three hundred new jobs will have a significant impact on the quality of life for numerous families. The priority of my administration is to provide more opportunity for the workforce of Kentucky."
The maintenance facility will have six bays for a total of more than 60,000 square feet, and will cover approximately 9.85 acres on the west side of Louisville International Airport's airfield.
"Chautauqua's new maintenance facility is an example of the continued economic payoff that has resulted from our investment in the airport expansion project," said Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson. "We appreciate Chautauqua's commitment to bring quality jobs to Louisville and to be a part of the economic engine at our airport."
Louisville serves as a large crew base for the airline with as many as eight aircraft overnighting in Louisville. Six aircraft will be maintained nightly in this facility.
"The Chautauqua Airlines Maintenance Facility is a major step forward for our airport, and it is yet another success story confirming the foresight and wisdom of our community's leaders when they initiated the Louisville Airport Improvement Projectproject," said Phil Lynch, Airport Board Vice Chairman.
"This new Louisville maintenance center, when completed, will support our company's growing operation. Louisville is an important piece of our regional jet strategy and its convenient location allows us to support three of our four airline partners," said Warren R. Wilkinson, Vice President of Government Affairs & Corporate Communications for Republic Airways Holdings. "We appreciate the support and cooperation of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the City of Louisville, Greater Louisville Inc. and the Louisville Regional Airport Authority in making the development of this facility a reality."
"Louisville has been a player for several years in the airline business, and Chautauqua Airlines' decision to come here gives us more diversity and solidifies our base within the industry," said Steve Higdon, president and CEO of Greater Louisville Inc. – The Metro Chamber of Commerce. "With its maintenance hangar and flight crews based here at Louisville International Airport, this community will serve as an important base for Chautauqua Airlines."
Chautauqua Airlines, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, provides regional jet service for USAirways and Delta, and will fly those aircraft to and from Louisville for routine maintenance at the new facility.
Chautauqua Airlines offers scheduled passenger service on more than 700 flights daily to 76 cities in 32 states, the District of Columbia, Canada, and the Bahamas through code sharing agreements with four major U.S. airlines. Chautauqua Airlines currently operates a fleet of 116 Embraer regional jets, including 68 ERJ-145s, 15 ERJ-140s, 17 ERJ-135s and 16 Embraer 170's. All of its flights are operated under its major airline partner brand, such as American Connection, Delta Connection, United Express and US Airways Express.

The day Apple blocks me from being able to use MY PHONE how I want too is the day that I will switch to a different phone. If they want to lose customers then they are definitely on the right path.
My opinion is that as many people that may be intimidated by this behavior we will have equally as many people jailbreak their devices simply to rebel against authority
What ever Appl£ do Jailbreaking is good for their device as they(Appl£) get to steal the ideas from the Jailbreak app developers and then claim they came up with it
So Appl£ won't truly want to destroy the Jailbreaking community but get it under some sort of "their" control
haha thatz all true
apple is dumb :-P
Silly Apple, tricks are for kids
if I have paid for this phone and it is mine, if I want to break it I will and if I jailbreak it I will I don't need permission from anyone.
they un rooted my htc incredible and patched the hole i used to root them.
Im going to state my two cents which is prob obvious.
1. Alot of people will prob start looking at other phones if they stop jailbreaking, not that they are going to lose all business but some, bc if i couldn't jailbreak my iphone 4 i def wouldn't like it as much, in a way they would be hurting themsleves.
2. I think most will agree, I think its just plain dumb to try to controll something that belongs to me, I feel like i paid for this its mine.... if i wanna throw this mutha****er off the roof i can do what i want cuz i own it, and Apple needs to quit all the bullying its getting ridonkulous!!
3. They have so much money now im sure jailbreaking is not going to bankrupt the Apple anytime soon, jeeez
@babyblue pimp
Your absolutely right, people confuse jailbreaking with pirating. They are completely separate.
Good luck somebody will find a way around whatever they might do. Just like napster..limewire, etc
If the Mac OSX is open, why can't iOS be too? Apple needs to open their eyes. If they would make the iPhone into a "smarter" smartphone with the same tweaks and customizations that are in the Cydia store, jailbreaking would be practically extinct.
This will go as far as it's legal. And Apple will cry again!
Apple can keep trying whatever they want, it won't stop us from personalizing our phones.
I have a feeling that Apple isn't winning the cat & mouse game as much as it seems. Even though there isn't a public untethered release for 4.2.1 yet, it seems as though Apple knows they can't win. It's just odd timing for them to try this shiit again. It would be different if there were several jailbreaks & unlocks out for the latest firmware. JMO
i know a lot of people with jb iphones that dont pirate apps or games, apple needs to realize that jb community has helped move more iphones then any marketing campaign they came out with so, quietly say your against it but realize its making you a shitload of money
I don't really care one way or the other cause I can live with the iPhone as is, without a jailbreak.
I suspect that many folks would see things differently if a product they creates and depended upon for their income was the target. Everything in the world isn't meant to be free.
It is what it is.
I think Apple has just about closed it's holes and they are doing this to combat the one left out there. I suspect that after this latest jb that the dev team is holding is released, and Apple patches it, it will be even longer before another one is released. In the meantime, Apple will add newer features that folks really want forcing them to decide if they really want to wait on a posted UNTETHERED jailbreak.
I submit that Apple is currently winning this one.

According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology, more than three million American children have hearing loss, and about 1.3 million of them younger than 3 years of age. More children will lose their hearing later in childhood. Hearing aids can help improve hearing and speech, especially in children with sensorineural hearing loss (hearing loss in the inner ear due to damaged hair cells or a damaged hearing nerve). Sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by noise, injury, infection, certain medications, birth defects, tumors, and problems with blood circulation.
Hearing aids are electronic or battery-operated devices that can amplify and change sound. A microphone receives the sound and converts it into sound waves. The sound waves are then converted into electrical signals.
The type of hearing aid recommended for your child will depend on several factors, including his or her physical limitations, medical condition, and personal preference. There are many different types of hearing aids on the market, with companies continuously inventing newer, improved hearing aids. However, there are four basic types of hearing aids available today. Consult your child's physician for additional information on each of the following types:
In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids
These hearing aids come in plastic cases that fit in the outer ear. Generally used for mild to severe hearing loss, ITE hearing aids can accommodate other technical hearing devices, such as the telecoil, a mechanism used to improve sound during telephone calls. However, their small size can make it difficult to make adjustments. In addition, ITE hearing aids can be damaged by ear wax and drainage.
Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids
Behind-the-ear hearing aids, as the name implies, are worn behind the ear. This type of hearing aid, which is in a case, connects to a plastic earmold inside the outer ear. These hearing aids are generally used for mild to severe hearing loss. However, poorly fitted BTE hearing aids can cause feedback, an annoying "whistling" sound, in the ear.
Canal aids
Canal aids fit directly in the ear canal and come in two styles: in-the-canal (ITC) aid and completely-in-canal (CIC) aid. Customized to fit the size and shape of the individual's ear canal, canal aids are generally used for mild to moderate hearing loss. However, because of their small size, removal and adjustment may be more difficult. In addition, canal aids can be damaged by ear wax and drainage.
Body aids
Generally reserved for profound hearing loss, or if the other types of hearing aids will not accommodate, body aids are attached to a belt or pocket and connected to the ear with a wire.
Nearly all children who have a hearing loss that may be improved with hearing aids can benefit from these devices. The type of hearing aid recommended may depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
The shape of the outer ear (deformed ears may not accommodate behind-the-ear hearing aids)
Depth of depression near the ear canal (too shallow ears may not accommodate in-the-ear hearing aids)
The type and severity of hearing loss
The manual dexterity of the child to remove and insert hearing aids
The amount of wax build-up in the ear (excessive amounts of wax or moisture may prevent use of in-the-ear hearing aids)
Ears that require drainage may not be able to use certain hearing aid models
Once the hearing aids have been fitted for the ears, your child should begin to gradually wear the hearing aid. Because hearing aids do not restore normal hearing, it may take time to get used to the different sounds transmitted by the device. The American Academy of Otolaryngology recommends the following when beginning to wear hearing aids:
Be patient and give your child time to get used to the hearing aid and the sound it produces.
Start in quiet surroundings and gradually build up to noisier environments.
Experiment where and when the hearing aid works best for your child.
Keep a record of any questions and concerns you have, and bring those to your child's follow-up examination.
Hearing aids need to be kept dry. Methods for cleaning hearing aids vary depending on the style and shape. Other tips for taking care of hearing aids include the following:
Keep the hearing aids away from heat.
Batteries should be replaced on a regular basis.
Avoid the use of hairspray and other hair products when the hearing aid is in place.
A medical examination is required before purchasing a hearing aid. Hearing aids can be purchased from an otolaryngologist (a physician who specializes in disorders of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck), an audiologist (a specialist who can evaluate and manage hearing and balance problems), or an independent company. Styles and prices vary greatly. Consider the following questions when buying hearing aids:
Can the hearing loss be improved with medical or surgical interventions?
Which design will work best for my child's type of hearing loss?
May my child "test" the hearing aids for a certain period of time?
How much do hearing aids cost?
Do the hearing aids have a warranty and does it cover maintenance and repairs?
Can my child's audiologist or otolaryngologist make adjustments and repairs?
Can any other assistive technological devices be used with the hearing aids?

Perfect vacation retreat on Big Island!
We stayed in this lovely home for the last week of our first trip to the big island. This unit exceeded all our expectations! The home is very well equipped with top of the line everything! It was so nice to return to a home at the end of a long day of sight-seeing versus returning to a hotel room. The lanai was perfect for grilling our fresh fish and veggies that we bought at the Foodland Market (at reasonable prices!). We made great use of the games that were provided and enjoyed our family time at the end of each day. The owners beach club is wonderful! We feel it provided some of the best snorkeling we have ever experienced! We were always able to get a cabana. If one wasn't available when we got to the beach, one would open up within 30 minutes or so. We used the owner's cooler several times to pack a picnic, and spent several entire afternoons at the beach club. The property manager Larry was very responsive to all our questions and was a pleasure to deal with. The unit even has a copy of Big Island Revealed, which we referenced a lot during our stay. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the big island and would highly recommend this rental!
Family of Four Adults
Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay in the property and were wishing that we could have stayed longer. It was clean, the beds were extremely comfortable. Having the pantry stocked was a lovely touch as we were able to do our own cooking with ease. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.
Beautiful house
The house was gorgeous, exactly like the pictures, everything was clean and when we needed more trash bags, Elaine brought them soon. However the fan in the master bedroom stopped working half way in the trip, so we didn't have a fan for 5 days, because of scheduling it was not able to be fixed while we were there, but it wasn't bad. I used the pool, hot tub and gym, I was happy with those. The area was quite and very nice. However, the TV didn't have many channels, no HBO or any of the main good movie ones, that was a little disappointing, the one night we wanted to watch TV, we couldn't find anything good to watch. Overall, a great stay, would definitely be back!

EDIT: Thanks for the Front Page, I really didn't expect it! And regarding the length of the movie... the reason it's short is so that it stays true to the Toy Machine animations, which are always short and to the point - The point being that there is no point ;)
This is a short animation based on an animated segment from the latest Toy Machine video. Any skateboarders out there might be aware of a company called Toy Machine - Each Toy machine video includes a little segment featuring some of the Toy Machine characters (usually the orange Transmissionator) getting up to all kinds of crazy antics, and featured in the latest video was a short animation. Being the big Toy Machine fan that I am, I decided to make my own short animation featuring the famous Transmissionator.
Make of it what you will... It's a little strange to say the least, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! :)

If you would have delayed the bit where he comes out a bit, and given him a far more vicious facial expression, you would have scared the shit out of me

well worth a chuckle, if you havent watched it......do so, overall enjoyable

Woodworker's Journal
Chris Marshall: I would choose an exterior latex enamel paint for those graphics on your chairs, but be sure to start with a quality latex primer over the bare wood before the enamel goes on. Actually, one of the most durable exterior finishes to both UV sunlight and moisture is good old paint. You could paint your entire chairs with latex enamel in some bright colors and graphics. The paint will seal the wood and offer long-lasting protection from the sun. If you'd rather have the look of real wood than a coat of paint, I'd build the chairs from exterior-tough woods like cedar, cypress, mahogany, redwood or white oak. Eventually, the wood will turn a silvery gray color, but I think rustic chairs are very appealing.
Tim Inman: It isn't the heat that will be your paint's biggest enemy, it is the sun -- UV rays, specifically. So, I'd strongly suggest an exterior grade paint. I would also paint over a clear coat. It will just be easier. Follow it up with an exterior grade poly or spar varnish. What wood? Let me count the trees.... Depends upon your budget, your "heirloom quotient," your weight tolerance, your budget -- you get the idea?

Plant Assessments
Greenhouse Gas Protocol (PDF 190 KB) Download Acrobat Reader
Paper written by Bill Palmer, Cheminfo Services, Inc. Molten magnesium and its alloys are volatile substances that have a tendency to oxidize explosively in air and require surface protection in casting processes.
Save Energy Now Assessments
The Save Energy Now assessments program is one way for plants of all sizes to work with the DOE Industrial Technologies Program (ITP). Large plants are eligible to apply for a system level assessment on their steam, process heating, compressed air, fans, or pumping systems. Assessments are conducted over a three day site visit by teams of DOE Energy Experts and plant personnel. The plant personnel are trained to identify energy savings opportunities using the DOE software tools. Most plants find an average of $2.5 million in annual energy savings and nearly 75% of all recommendations have a payback period of 2 years or less. The recommendations could include implementing best practices or emerging technologies that would be effective in your operation.
If you run a medium-sized manufacturing facility with an annual utility bill over $100,000 and fewer than 500 employees at the plant site, you may be especially interested in an assessment from an Industrial Assessment Center (IAC). Mid-sized plant assessments are a no-cost, one day on-site visit to your plant to identify potential savings opportunities. A team of engineering faculty and students from a participating university in your area assesses your plant and recommends ways you can improve efficiency. Since 2001, the IACs have identified an average of over $115,000/plant in yearly energy savings.
Small manufacturing plants can receive assistance through our NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) and the EERE Information Center. The MEP Centers have teamed up with the Industrial Assessment Centers to expand the reach of ITP's resources for energy efficiency in manufacturing plants. If you have an MEP in your area or already have a working relationship with them, ask them how they can help you use energy more wisely.

» Newsletter Archives
I want to extend a warm greeting to all our members and supporters. As I write this message with summer almost upon us, the weather has finally broken here in the Northeast. After three weeks of heavy rainfall, the sun has finally emerged, and although many of us are feeling spring fever, we are also focused on emerging issues for community health workers and the field of community outreach. Our efforts are concentrated on a number of important fronts. Our Community Health Worker Special Primary Interest Group at APHA continues to grow and mature as an integral part of our larger organization. Our two Governing Council representatives are working hard to give voice and attention to issues facing CHWs across the nation. Our standing policy committee is taking the lead in efforts to address issues of policy and practice important to our field - such as self-determination, CHW definition, credentialing and certification. Our Program Planning Committee has been working to complete our program for the 134th APHA Annual Meeting and Exposition, scheduled for the week of Nov. 4, 2006 in Boston. We have developed a full three-day program with innovative and interactive oral sessions, roundtables and special sessions. This year our reception will be hosted by local community-based organizations that employ CHWs. Our special committee to liaison with other sections, SPIGs and caucuses has been developing relationships with those groups in order to establish contacts and cooperative efforts. And our Membership Committee continues its efforts to recruit and retain members.
Our newsletter editor, Gail Ballester, has put together this comprehensive and informative edition of our newsletter to provide an update of our current activities.
Our CHW Research section highlights an article by Dr. Nell Brownstein of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that investigates the training of CHWs in Alabama's Black Belt to reduce health disparities associated with heart disease and stroke. Dr. Brownstein has been a strong advocate of CHWs and has published her work in numerous professional journals.
As you can imagine, our CHW Policy Update section includes several pieces on evolving legislative, research and organizational issues relevant to our field. Our governing council representatives, Lisa Renee Siciliano and Durrell Fox have written an article on the Massachusetts Health Care reform platform that includes a report on recently passed legislation in support of CHWs in that state. Dr. Jackie Scott of the Georgetown University Law Center wrote a report on the progress in the formation of the National CHW Network that aims to bring together local, statewide and regional associations of CHWs across the United States and the Native American Nations. And Carl Rush of Community Health Resources, LLC, includes an article on his efforts to put together a conference for researchers and administrators to describe a research agenda for the development of the CHW field.
This newsletter also contains reports from our Policy Committee, and The CHW Network Corner contains a listing of established and emerging CHW organizations. We have also included an article on our planned program for the APHA Annual Meeting and Exposition in November.
Please let me take advantage of this opportunity to thank all those who worked so hard to make this newsletter such a success. We deeply appreciate all you effort and support in the interest of moving our field forward and establishing CHW leadership of our field.
For comments, please contact me at email@example.com or our newsletter editor, Gail Ballester.
Return to Top
Please join us in historic Boston for APHA's 134th Annual Meeting and Exposition on Nov. 4-8, 2006!
Continuing in our tradition of combining scientific papers with voices from the field and time for interaction, the SPIG has developed a full program of oral, poster, and roundtable sessions to learn about and discuss the current field of Community Health Worker Programs. Session titles include:
In addition, we invite you to attend other activities such as our regular business meeting and reception. We are also planning a special session to highlight some of the cutting-edge programmatic and networking activities that have been done in Massachusetts. Please see the next issue of the newsletter for more details. We look forward to seeing you and to advancing the field of Community Health Workers together!
The Policy Committee has been working diligently on creating a definition for Community Health Workers to serve as an umbrella term for Community Health Workers. At this time there are a number of CHW definitions, and by no means is the umbrella definition to take the place of existing ones within the already established CHW associations or networks. The Policy Committee has been researching the steps to take to have this CHW definition added to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Standard Occupational Classification list. It is important for a CHW definition to be added to SOC, so that data can be collected. The Policy Committee has reached out to known CHW networks, and associations for feedback. Many have responded, and some have not. Now is not the time to discuss whose definition is better, or who will or will not participate with this important task. Now is the time to unite. If CHWs continue to be nameless, we will continue to be faceless.
It is imperative for all organizations, networks and associations who are concerned about the profession of Community Health Workers to embrace one definition which we can all live with. We have a choice. We can step to the plate and accept responsibility for our profession (yes, I used the word profession), or step aside and let someone else decide what we do. I believe this definition should come from CHWs. I would like to extend an open invitation to all Community Health Workers to participate in this important task of creating this definition. The CHW SPIG Policy Committee meets every 2nd Thursday of the month at 2:30-3:30 p.m. Eastern Time, via telephone. Feel free to contact me at (616) 391-3473 if I can be of further assistance.
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney signed a groundbreaking health care reform bill into law in March of this year, which you have probably heard about. The information you may not have yet is that the CHW legislation written by the Massachusetts Community Health Worker Network is included in the bill! The health care reform bill is now Chapter 58 of the Acts of 2006 and the CHW bill, drafted as "An Act Providing for Investigation and Study by the Department of Public Health Relative To Community Health Workers" has become Section 110 of the new health care reform bill. In addition to Section 110, Chapter 58 also places CHW representation on the state Public Health Council and provides funding for outreach and enrollment for the state Medicaid program. This is a victory for Massachusetts CHWs and speaks to the role of CHWs in increasing access to health care and reducing health disparities.
Section 110 mandates the Department of Public Health to conduct the study, assemble an advisory council to develop the study, interpret its results and make recommendations to the legislature for a sustainable community health worker program. The advisory council will be chaired by the Commissioner of Public Health or his designee and will include representation from MACHW, the Office of Medicaid, Department of Labor, Outreach Worker Training Institute of Central Massachusetts AHEC, Community Partners' Health Access Network, Massachusetts Public Health Association, Massachusetts Association of Health Plans, Boston Public Health Commission, Massachusetts Center for Nursing, Massachusetts Medical Society, Massachusetts Hospital Association, the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers and the MassHealth Training Forums. The composition of the advisory council of both public and private entities will assist in creatively funding and sustaining CHW programs. The Department of Public Health will report the findings to the legislature by Jan. 1, 2007.
While this is indeed a victory, CHWs now need to ensure implementation. MACHW has met with Commissioner of Public Health Paul Cote to discuss moving the law forward. MACHW has been working with the Division of Primary Care and Health Access on CHW issues, but this marks the first time MACHW representatives have met with the Commissioner. He understands the important work of CHWs, and we look forward to collaborating with him. In addition, MACHW will play an active role to ensure that CHWs maintain a seat on the Public Health Council and that outreach and enrollment dollars reach CHW programs.

Policy Brief No. 14 of the National Human Services Assembly, March 2006
The Family Strengthening Policy Center of the National Human Services Assembly issued a detailed policy brief about the key role CHWs play in assisting families. It states: "Low-income families face multiple barriers to accessing timely, quality services necessary to protect their health. A wide variety of organizations have found community health workers can play a critical role in helping families manage their health." What follows are a few excerpts from the policy brief.
Overview A wide variety of public, nonprofit and corporate organizations have found community health workers can play a critical role in helping families manage their health. Specifically, CHWs leverage their insiders' understanding of the families they serve to expand and enhance their health resources. Only a small subset of CHWs provides medical care.
Facing an ever-diversifying demographic base, health and human service practitioners want to increase the use of CHWs. Their experience indicates CHWs are particularly effective in reaching vulnerable and underserved families. These practitioner perspectives are mirrored by a growing research base that indicates CHWs increase underserved populations' access to health care.
Changes in public policies would help CHWs become a sustainable and highly effective component of health and human service delivery. Organizations serving families with children also can take steps to realize the potential of CHWs.
Are CHWs Effective? A growing body of research is confirming what practitioners have known for years, that CHWs are effective in:
However, these results are not consistently achieved in all CHW programs. The most effective services appear to be in improving access to health care.
In the landmark report, Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care, the Institute of Medicine similarly concluded: "Community health workers offer promise as a community-based resource to increase racial and ethnic minorities' access to healthcare and to serve as a liaison between healthcare providers and the communities they serve."
Studies and experience suggest CHW programs can achieve other results:
Many programs claim CHWs are cost-effective, but relatively few have conducted rigorous analyses.
Going from the Margins to the Mainstream Despite positive outcomes, CHWs are underutilized in many community settings. Going to scale will require overcoming four critical challenges that are interrelated:
Additionally, the policy brief makes some policy recommendations. These recommendations and the entire policy brief can be found at: www.nassembly.org/fspc/practice/documents/Brief14.pdf.
Dozens of top researchers, government and health industry officials and CHWs will gather in Dallas early next year for two days to resolve the need for more conclusive research on the CHW field.
Several studies in recent years have noted that while CHWs appear to produce significant results in improving the health of communities, there is a shortage of solid quantitative evidence need to justify policy decisions like greater reliance on CHWs in Medicaid and other public programs. This lack of an "evidence base" is believed to be a major factor holding back advancement of CHWs as a recognized field.
The conference will produce a document representing a national consensus on the research agenda needed on CHWs, their cost-effectiveness and workforce development needs. This agenda will serve as a guide to funders and researchers in creating the necessary research projects. An ongoing task force will advocate for completion of the agenda.
Supporters of the conference include The California Endowment, the Northwest Area Foundation and the California Health Care Foundation, with other requests for support pending.

CHWs are moving forward to make a national CHW network a reality. During a productive conference call in mid-November, a group of CHWs and CHW supporters began looking at existing national organizations that may serve as useful models for a CHW network. The group will continue to make comparisons between established associations, which helps to clarify the CHW vision for a national network and the design of an effective organization.
The group's next step is to recruit a Steering Committee to shape the vision for a national CHW network. This group will make key decisions about the structure of the network and its administration, including (1) how membership and leadership of the organization will be structured, (2) where the organization will have its headquarters, and (3) what kinds of benefits will be provided for members. It is therefore crucial that the members of the Steering Committee represent the diversity of the CHW field, in terms of practice area, race, ethnicity and geography. Diverse opinions from the very beginning of the discussions will be instrumental in building an inclusive and effective national network.
A national network can give CHWs the strength of a unified voice and the opportunity to bring the successes of the various state-level CHW associations to a national scale. A national CHW network will be able to focus energy on promoting federal legislation affecting CHWs, and it will work to ensure that CHW concerns and experiences are represented in the policy-making process. A national network will also bring together the diverse community of CHWs into an interconnected unit, improving CHWs' ability to communicate with and learn from each other's experiences.
In order to keep the process of shaping the national network CHW-driven, the group needs CHWs to come forward and commit to bringing the network into existence. The Harrison Institute at Georgetown is ready to serve in an advisory capacity and to provide research, organizational, or other help, as directed by CHWs on the Steering Committee. Development of the CHW network will advance this summer, with more conference calls taking place and progress being made.
If you would like to be involved, or for more information, please contact Elinor Ament at the Harrison Institute, email@example.com, (508) 524-6434.

ABSTRACT: African American women have significantly higher mortality rates from heart disease and stroke than White women despite advances in treatment and the management of risk factors. Community health workers (CHWs) serve important roles in culturally relevant programs to prevent disease and promote health. This article describes the Pine Apple Heart and Stroke Project's activities to (1) revise the Women's Wellness Sourcebook Module III: Heart and Stroke to be consistent with national guidelines on heart disease and stroke and to meet the needs of African American women living in rural southern communities; (2) train CHWs using the revised curriculum; and (3) evaluate the training program. Revisions of the curriculum were based on recommendations by an expert advisory panel, the staff of a rural health clinic, and feedback from CHWs during training. Questionnaires after training revealed positive changes in CHWs' knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and self-reported risk reduction behaviors related to heart disease, stroke, cancer, and patient–provider communication. This study provides a CHW training curriculum that may be useful to others in establishing heart disease and stroke programs in rural underserved communities.

Across the country, at all levels (statewide, locally, and nationally), CHWs are organizing professional associations or networks. CHW associations advocate for CHWs and the communities they serve. They give CHWs a means of gaining additional skills, accessing support and recognition, and sharing resources and strategies with peers.
This regular newsletter feature highlights the ongoing organizing efforts of CHWs across the country. We urge CHWs to contact their local networks and get involved! If there is no network in your area, think about starting one. Contact the network nearest you for information and strategies about organizing.
We recognize the enormous energy and commitment of CHWs as they organize. We also know that this is only a partial list of CHW associations. If you know of others, please let us know! Contact Newsletter Editor Gail Ballester at email@example.com or (617) 624-6016.

Aside from a few small flare-ups, the fire was all but over inside the Luongo Restaurant in East Boston on Nov. 15, 1942. And then, at 4:15 a.m., a massive wall tumbled down, causing the building to collapse and trapping dozens of firefighters under heavy debris.
Six firefighters lost their lives 70 years ago Thursday. The incident gripped the city until it was overshadowed by a far-deadlier tragedy 13 days later, the Cocoanut Grove Nightclub fire that killed 492 people.

The Last Guardian Media Shows Off 'Project Trico'Following through on last week's official announcement of The Last Guardian, publisher Sony has released several screenshots from Team ICO's debut PlayStation 3 game.
Once known as "Project Trico," The Last Guardian is said to conclude the trilogy that the beloved studio began with its PlayStation 2 action-adventure title Ico and continued via Shadow of the Colossus--a game that was originally referred to as "Nico."
Sadly, there's still no word as to when The Last Guardian may arrive. In the meantime, you should probably watch (or re-watch) the debut trailer, which is below.

NORFOLK-The Old Dominion University women's basketball used a strong second half on Sunday afternoon at the Ted Constant Convocation Center to rally past UNC Wilmington, 62-55.
Down 34-26 at half, the Lady Monarchs were able to overcome a sluggish start behind the strong play of sophomore Shae Kelley who scored a game-high 19 points and collected a career-high 17 rebounds to go with three steals, three blocks and two assists. She had 11 points and 11 rebounds in the second half as she recorded her sixth double-double of the season and third in the past four games.
ODU shot 31.3 percent in the game (20-64) and just 29 percent in the first half while UNCW was at 35.2 percent for the contest (19-54). The Lady Monarchs outrebounded the Seahawks, 46-42, and took advantage of a thin UNCW bench by outscoring them, 19-6.

A high ranking federal TSA official is behind bars charged with killing his female co-worker on the Mississippi gulf coast. D'Iberville police quickly transported Ruben Orlando Benitez, 45, back to the coast Tuesday after he was arrested at his home in Pearl.
The investigation revealed sometime Saturday night Benitez and Stacey Wright, who were allegedly having an affair, got into a fight at Wright's apartment. The fight escalated into a grisly crime. The young mother was stabbed repeatedly.
Her alleged killer fled back to Jackson. D'Iberville police say evidence led investigators to Benitez.
Numerous witnesses were interviewed and evidence was recovered at the Landmark Apartments.
D'Iberville Police Chief Wayne Payne said, "The security officer here at the facility came to the victim's apartment this morning for welfare concern and found that the victim was deceased."
Tuesday, numerous friends and co-workers were expressing their sympathies and condolences on Wrights' Facebook page.
Wright had recently been transferred to the coast after accepting a TSA promotion, according to authorities.
Police are tight lipped about the relationship Wright had with her accused killer and co-worker here in Jackson. They are also not discussing what lead up to the deadly confrontation.

Video: Grilling Black Bass with Eric Ripert
Browsing New York Magazine's website this morning, we saw this video of Eric Ripert grilling fish on a slate tile...
His technique is incredibly simple — just some herbs, garlic, and olive oil — and he claims the slate allows the fish to cook properly without burning (and, we'd assume, losing any loose seasonings in the flames).
The presentation looks beautiful, too. Just throw that big fish on a platter and let everyone dig in.

eric ripert is hot!
Eric Ripert is a chef's chef.
He's awesome.
And that grill is bad-ass.
Where may I purchase a slate tile for this practice?
Anyone knows?
I was wondering the same.
I would think that you could buy it at any store that sells tile.
But, I would make sure that it is just 100% real slate. I don't know the specifics but there is a tile sold as slate that is called something like "Indian" slate and it is a sedimentary tile made up of layers of fragile clay or sandstone-like layers. The worry with that is that it is not smooth like true slate, has natural pigment that comes off and would most likely spall with dramatic changes in temperature.
We had to go to Home Depot last night and they sold slate tiles there for less than $3.
BTW - that video actually made my mouth water that fish looked awesome!
Sweet, HD i'm there.

Give yourself a break.
Ergonomists agree that microbreaks are an excellent way to reduce the effects of repetitive activities. Rather than squirming in your seat late in the day, give your back a rest by standing for a short time. Alternating between standing and seated positions reduces the need for extended workbreaks, increasing employee productivity.
Take a stand for short meetings.
For an easy way to make meetings move faster, set your workcenter to the standing position. You'll be surprised by the prompt pace when people are thinking on their feet.
Decompress your spine (and your mind).'Adopting a sit-to-stand work style can also give your back a break. Research has shown that the intradiscal pressure in seated working positions can be nearly 50% greater than in an upright standing position. Studies also report that when employees use both a seated and standing position throughout the workday, their spinal compression is lessened.
Adjust yourself to a new altitude (and attitude).
The ability to quickly and easily adjust from a seated to standing position makes the difference in motivating your employees to take a stand for comfort. In the time it takes to read this sentence you could have adjusted your table from a seated to standing position using the simple touch controllers provided on our sit-to-stand workcenters.

The time is NOW for people to stand up and say 'No More Assault Weapons" and not wait for the government to legislate the change.
Change starts when people change, not when governments legislate change. Think back to the days when driving drunk was socially acceptable, no matter who died in the process. Then Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) formed. The rest is history.
The time is 'now o'clock'. We will change our resopnse to violence and stop purchasing violence video games as gifts for our children, and stop patronizing films that promote violence, mayhem and murder. Glorifying the horrific has become the norm.
What happened in Newtown, CT should never happen again.
Remember Mahatma Ghandi's words: "Be the change you want to see in the world". The time is now o'clock!

Dec 24 2012: Look at you with your demand. "NOW". The only thing to be done NOW, is calm down and use your brain to think. THINK NOW.
And, remember... guns do not kill people, people kill people ... far more people that own guns and weapons of all types, including assault rifles, are responsible and ,listen, Do Not Kill People. And to hell with ALL the limits and restrictions people want to put upon other people.
The violent video game thing, jeez c'mon, what small compartment or bubble are you looking to put humanity in before you feel everyone is in check and you are safe?
Dec 24 2012: People want assault rifles, for a sense of security, for a hobby, to marvel at the design and construction of the gun. For whatever. I see no reason to take these guns out of predominately responsible, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens because of uninformed, scared citizens and a small number of sad isolated incidents.
I know in my heart of hearts that criminals will still have weapons, law be damned. One way or the other, as I stated before: if there is a buyer, there is a seller, there is a market. Banning assault rifles will take them out of the hands of people that can handle owning them. It will not save lives. It will not change the fact that people are killing people everyday in the United States for various reasons using an array of weapons.
Who am I to draw the line? ... Even rocket launchers do not make killers. Rocket launchers are used by people to kill other people. What you have is a people killing people problem. Not a gun killing people problem.
Dec 25 2012: Tanks, cruise missiles, nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, land mines, 50 cal machine guns. All okay to be available to all?
We have limits on what cars people can have on the roads. Suggest same logic can apply to weapons.
You still haven't acknowledged that it's easier to kill with a gun than without.
So if some criminals may get their hands on restricted weapons you think there should be no restrictions. Not sure that makes sense.
Suggest that having more power full weapons in the general population does not make us safer.
We have speed limits, although some break the rules, even though most of us would drive safely. But the limits make us safer.
Also, humans lose it some times. Better if their is a not a gun in reach at those times.

Birthday: September 4, 1981
Hometown: Houston, Texas
Where You've seen Her: Er... everywhere? Beyonce Knowles, a.k.a. Mrs. Shawn Carter, a.k.a. Sasha Fierce, or just simply Beyonce, first grabbed our attention as frontwoman of Destiny's Child, only to later go on to win five Grammys as a solo artist. She starred in films Austin Powers in Goldmember, Dreamgirls, Cadillac Records, and more. The wife of mega mogul Jay-Z launched a re-worked version of "Get Me Bodied" with an instructional dance music video called "Move Your Body" last month and, after the death of Osama Bin Laden, she released her cover of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" for charity. Next month, she'll release her album, 4. Looks like Beyonce's ruling the world again, and we're stoked to see the sexy lady back in action.
Random Fact: Beyonce's coined term "bootylicious" made it into the Oxford English Dictionary.

DrupalCon Denver
DrupalCon Denver is the official conference of the Drupal community. DrupalCon is a biannual event presented to an ever-expanding international audience since Drupal became an open-source project in 2001. It's put on by the Drupal Association, as well as a fabulous group of volunteers and organizers from across the globe.
The Colorado Convention Center will accommodate the largest and most active gathering of Drupal developers and users in the heart of downtown Denver, Colorado.
DrupalCon is a world-class conference with a worldwide audience. If you or your organization actively use Drupal, or even if you never have but want to learn, DrupalCon is your chance to engage the community, learn from others, and share your experiences. Pre-conference training sessions are available on March 19th and a code and contribution sprint on March 23rd (view full program).
The Theme
DrupalCon Denver's theme, "Collaborative Publishing for Every Device," is a study on the shift of web access from traditional desktops to mobile devices, phones or tablets, and with it the greater combination of platforms Drupal leverages and integrates. The overall conference theme will be integrated into eight different categories: check out the Session Tracks page to read more about the subjects that will be covered at DrupalCon Denver or dive into the ~100 sessions on the schedule thus far!
See you in Denver!
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

First part of making a list? Grabbing the nearest pen and old receipt to start writing that ish down before you forget it. Halfway through, you're all, "Why am I using pen and paper? This is 2012."
For reals, you need Any.DO - the 2012 version of yesteryear's pen and paper list, with way more options.
When there's something you need to do today, tomorrow, or in the future, add it to your list (by typing or talking). Then, set a reminder, or share with friends all within the app which automatically syncs to your loaded devices.
You can rearrange the order of your "to-dos" by dragging and dropping. Any.DO even pulls in your contacts' info if you add their name to your list so you can hit them up directly from the app.
Instead of crossing off the things you finally did, just swipe to digitally cross them out (they'll stay there until you delete them in case you didn't "get all the party supplies" like ya thought).
They call themselves "The app that makes things happen." So, "Call Ashton Kutcher" like you've been meaning to, "buy that gum" you wish you had on last night's date, and remember to "mail your rent" (plus save the trees) -- with Any.DO.

Flames spread to Bedford
For the past several years in our country, some politicians, news commentators and talk show hosts have fanned the flames of fear and suspicion over the question of illegal immigration.
Now it appears those flames have jumped the fire line and are burning in Bedford. And the fire has jumped out of the forest of illegal immigration and has burned the private property of one company?s attempt to provide simple, decent housing to workers in a legal migrant worker program.
It was certainly no coincidence that on the day last week when the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq was reached, a new poll showed yet another decline in the approval rating of the president who launched this war.
George W. Bush, whose long-awaited exit from office gets closer and closer with the sweet passing of each day, is now at a pathetic 31 percent approval rating. There can be little doubt that the main reason for this is his stubborn insistence upon continuing a war and an occupation that the American public largely turned against in 2005.
The national security of the United States is not something that should be a matter of political gamesmanship. However, one must question whether such is going on in the House of Representatives.
France buried its last World War I veteran last week.
Actually, Lazare Ponticelli was Italian. Born at the end of 1897, he left Italy, when he was 9, to join his brothers who were already in France. When Germany invaded in August, 1914, Ponticelli, still 16 at the time, lied about his age in order to enlist in the Foreign Legion. He wanted to fight for the country that took him in.
Each week, folks across the Sixth District and the nation are confronted with the rising cost of energy, from the gas pump to their electric and gas bills. Energy is vital to every sector of the U.S. economy, including homes, small businesses and industries. When energy supplies are tight, families and businesses are severely impacted by the resulting increase in energy costs.
This is the first of four consecutive monthly articles scheduled for publication in this newspaper to address both compensation and pension benefits for veterans and eligible family members.
When George W. Bush recently vetoed a bill that would have banned so-called waterboarding as an approved interrogation technique, he solidified his sorry legacy: the first president to actually want the United States of America to practice torture.
Bush won't call it torture, and he'll insist at any of his barely coherent press conferences, in the pseudo-language he uses to mimic English, that "The U.S. doesn't torture." But like most everything with Bush, it's either a lie or a distortion.
