They're recognized as being the heart of our community- those who give of their time to give back to others.
And on Thursday night, volunteers were honored during a ceremony sponsored by HandsOn River Region and the Junior League of Montgomery.
The annual Volunteer of the Year celebration was held at Trinity Presbyterian Church.
It honored individuals and groups who have dedicated their time to many organizations and also marked HandsOn River Region's decades of service to the community.
HandsOn River Region connects volunteers with service opportunities throughout the five-county River Region: Montgomery, Autauga, Elmore, Lowndes and Macon Counties. The organization recruits and mobilizes volunteers for various volunteer needs and projects. Their programs include Alabama 211 Information and Referral, volunteer management, disaster preparedness and response, HMIS (Homeless Management Information System) and Christmas Clearinghouse which helps provide thousands of needy children with gifts.
"This year marks our 40th anniversary of service to the River Region. We are celebrating now only our anniversary today but also a lot of the people that make our work so rewarding and so many organizations in the community able to do great things. And we're thrilled to have 24 individuals and groups that we're recognizing," said Caroline Clark, Executive Director of HandsOn River Region.
"It is a great joy for me to see this agency grow from one desk in the hall of the United Way building which was then the United Appeal to a multi-faceted agency that recruits thousands of volunteers and places them throughout this community every year," added Judy Kyser, who served as the agency's first president.Award winners in six categories (Youth Volunteer, Youth Group, Adult Volunteer, Adult Group, Senior Volunteer and Lifetime Achievement Award) received awards and
all nominees were individually recognized.
Among those honored was a local foundation called "A HERO" (America's Heroes Enjoying Recreation Outdoors) that serves America's wounded veterans by offering them the healing opportunity that comes from time spent in the outdoors with fellow veterans.
Ann Longshore was named Volunteer of the Year in the senior volunteer category for her work with the First United Methodist Church Respite Ministry. Three days a week, she works with patients suffering from Dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease, giving their caretakers a "respite." She also volunteers with the Special Olympics, Meals on Wheels and at the Father Walter Memorial Child Care Center in Montgomery, spending time with wheelchair-bound children.
"Everything I do is just because I love it and I love the people that I work with and it's an honor. It's a pleasure definitely to be able to be able to do this. I'm so happy that I can do and give what I can to it," Longshore told WSFA.
The event also highlighted 12 area non-profit
organizations where members of the community can volunteer. Attendees received information regarding each agency and
their volunteer needs.

The HIV-1 virus encodes a protease essential for the processing of polyprotein precursors into mature viral proteins. This enzyme is a primary target for drug design against AIDS. Concurrent effects of inhibitors targeted to defined regions of the extended active site were investigated using Yonetani-Theorell kinetics to understand its complex specificity requirements. Kinetic data revealed that the simultaneous presence of two specific inhibitors may increase their binding affinity for the enzyme. A 100-fold enhancement in binding affinity was observed in certain instances. Results from this work showed a correlation between inhibitor synergism and substrate specificity thus implicating subsite interactions in enzyme catalysis.
To facilitate the analysis of enzyme-inhibitor interactions an improved graphical method, the combination plot, was developed as an alternative to the Yonetani-Theorell plot. The method generates a single straight line rather than a family of lines which is the traditional approach in such kinetic studies. The slope of the plot, 1/α, quantitatively measures the extent and nature of interaction between two inhibitors on their target enzyme. The approach was easily extended to analyze, for the first time, the interaction between three competitive inhibitors on an enzyme. The combination approach potentially has broad applications for kinetic analysis.
Combination plots were used in the discovery of gem-dialkyl succinic acid derivatives as a new class of unusually potent reversible inhibitors of carboxypeptidases A and B. 2-Ethyl-2-methylsuccinic acid binds to carboxypeptidases A and B with dissociation constants of 1.1 X 10ˉ⁷ M and 3.4 X 10ˉ⁶ M respectively. The low dissociation constants of the inhibitors for the zinc proteases can be attributed primarily to the gem-dialkyl groups which presumably make very important hydrophobic contacts within the active site. The inhibitors may also act as zinc ligands while possessing sufficient affinity for the carboxyl-recognition site in the enzymes.

Do I Qualify?
Is Child Care Subsidy an Option for My Family?
To qualify for the child care subsidy program, a family needs to meet both the situational and financial criteria.
Situational Criteria
You may be eligible to receive child care assistance if one or more of the following situations apply to your family:
Financial Criteria
Most families, including those receiving Work First Family Assistance , are required to pay a percentage of their child care costs based upon their gross monthly income. The parent fee percentages are 10%, 9%, and 8% and are based on family size.
Using the table below, you can determine whether you may meet the financial criteria to receive child care subsidy. If you meet the financial criteria, you can estimate your child care subsidy costs.
For Example
Using the table below, a family size of 3 earning $3,568 per month would be expected to pay 10% of their monthly income for child care. The family's total fee would be $357 for full-time care regardless of the number of children in care. The family would pay the $357 to the child care provider and the local purchasing agency would pay the remaining cost of the care to the child care provider.
Maximum Income Eligibility Limits have Increased as of August 1, 2013

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Traevon Jackson just beat the shot clock and hit a 15-foot jumper from the right side with 4 seconds left as Wisconsin got past No. 12 Minnesota 45-44 on Saturday, the Golden Gophers' fourth straight loss.
After Jackson's shot gave the Badgers a 45-43 lead, the Golden Gophers (15-5, 3-4 Big Ten) called a timeout with 1.8 seconds remaining and inbounded from halfcourt. The Badgers' Mike Bruesewitz fouled Trevor Mbakwe on the play, but the big man was unable to shoot the ensuing free throws because of an apparent right hand or wrist injury.
Rodney Williams stepped to the line and made the first free throw, but missed the second and Sam Dekker grabbed the rebound to seal the win for Wisconsin (14-6, 5-2), which ended a two-game slide.
Andre Hollins had 20 points for Minnesota.

Why "follow your passion" is bad advice, and what to do instead
Published on - January 8th, 2013 (by April Dykman)
Jennifer didn't know what she wanted to be when she grew up.
"I did hours upon hours of research into different fields I thought I might be interested in," she says. "I thought I might want to do supply-chain management, but I wanted to have hours where I could be home to cook and clean and be the stereotypical housewife."
Finally, she decided to become a financial adviser. "I realized that working one on one with couples in their 20s to remove or stay out of debt is my passion." But becoming a financial adviser meant giving up the flexible schedule that was so important to her. "When financial advising came into the picture, those [schedule] restrictions were thrown out the window, and the job hunt began."
Seven months later, Jennifer was still "trying to figure it out."
"I read numerous blogs, did all sorts of stupid psychometric tests, went to a career counselor, and…I even went to a psychic!" she says. "Yikes. I was very frustrated and disappointed with myself."
So what was Jennifer doing wrong?
"Follow your passion" is bad advice
The problem was that Jennifer was following very popular career advice that's also very bad career advice. She was trying to follow her passion.
It sure sounds like a great idea. Who wouldn't like to be paid to do what they love?
But as Jennifer found out, "follow your passion" is problematic for a couple of reasons.
First, do you really know what your passion is? Jennifer didn't, and it set her back seven months. "We assume that we really know what our passions are upfront," says Ramit Sethi, who wrote the New York Times bestseller "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" and teaches a course on how to find your dream job. "Can you tell just by thinking about it? The way it really works is that you have to get good at something, then you become passionate about it."
Cal Newport came to the same conclusion in his book So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love.
"When I studied people who love what they do for a living, I found that in most cases their passion developed slowly, often over unexpected and complicated paths. It's rare, for example, to find someone who loves their career before they've become very good at it — expertise generates many different engaging traits, such as respect, impact, autonomy — and the process of becoming good can be frustrating and take years."
Second, it may not be realistic to follow your passion. "We don't consider the barriers," says Sethi. "Like what if your passion won't pay? Or what if you don't actually want to turn your hobby or passion into a full-time career? Or what if your passion leads you down a road that means you'll actually make less of an impact?"
If "follow your passion" is bad advice, then why do people like Jennifer follow it?
Two reasons people keep trying to follow their passion
There are a couple of reasons people still think following a passion is the golden career ticket, even when it's getting them nowhere.
One reason is that we hear this advice everywhere! "We're told this is the way that people succeed," says Sethi. "Just follow your passion and the money will follow. Our culture celebrates dreamers who stick with it and overcome all odds. But that's just a story, it's not how the vast majority of people succeed or become passionate about their work."
Another reason is that it makes us feel good. "It feels good now," says Sethi. "People don't like to put in the hard work upfront to become excellent and indispensable. They'd rather play around with things they love and just hope that the world rewards them for it."
So how do you find a job you love (at least most of the time)?
The real way to find a job you love
Sethi says the key to finding a career you're passionate about is to set up a system.
"A system lets you focus with strategic tunnel vision on what you need to be focused on right now," he says.
When you have a system for finding a dream job, you can "stop trying to figure it all out in your head," says Sethi. Instead, you can "get specific about what you want, then go out and test your ideas. Find out what the job is really like."
Using a system can save you a lot of frustration and weeks, or even years, of effort. "Many people want to turn a hobby into a career, only to find out that the professionals in that category often spend more time on business development than doing their 'hobbies,'" says Sethi. "Other people find their 'passions' are not realistic careers, but find similar or related careers that also support the lifestyle they want. Win-win."
Ready to ditch the passion-based job search and set up a career search system?
How to search for specific jobs you can be passionate about
Setting up a system is easy, and shouldn't take much time at all. That's because all your time should really be spent talking to people.
First, get extremely specific about what you want. And when you think you've gotten specific enough, dig even deeper.
Sethi often hears goals like "I want to work with innovative, growing companies that add value by leveraging my unique management skills."
"What does that even mean?" asks Sethi. "Do you know the actual job you want?"
Start by spending a few minutes writing down 10 specific job titles that interest you. An important caveat is to not disqualify a job simply because it has a single aspect you don't absolutely love. Once you get "so good they can't ignore you," that one negative aspect can often be ignored.
For instance, an average financial adviser may not be able to negotiate a flexible schedule. However, Suze Orman can take all the flex time she wants. So don't be too picky at this step.
Second, choose one job title to pursue. "Pick one and just go down the rabbit hole," says Sethi. "You'll learn 10 times more from picking one and executing than sitting in a room and trying to come up with your dream position on your own."
Finally, list 10 companies you're interested in that have the exact job title you're looking for, and schedule informational interviews with people actually doing the job you're pursuing. "It's more effective to spend a few minutes writing some options, then go out and take people to coffee and test your ideas," says Sethi. If you're not sure how to find these people or what to say, check out this article.
If you run into a dead-end or decide it's not the career for you, "great," says Sethi, "you have nine other options to pursue."
This article is about Career
Following passion is good advice. Ofcourse you have to know what your passion is and how to apply that passion to what you are doing [ as in career, business and so forth].
The reason people fail when following passion is becuase they ussually love things that they can not convert into a viable profitable business.
When I was a kid my mother said playing with computer codes was a waste of my time – but it is proven to be for some very lucrative.
My mother also told me playing video games was a waste of my time, but I read in time magazine a few years back of a yougn man who made $400,000 dollars a years playing video games [ testing, teaching and competions ]. Again i say – following his passion worked out for him.
It's all about understanding and use. You love money so do you teach economics or invest in stocks? That is the trick with passion and making it work for you.
this is not true.. everyone has will to follow their passion for their fulfillment of dreams..
Purpose and passion are completely different. Decide what your purpose is, and then do it with passion.
Any job, career, activity(purpose) can be done with passion: learn, practice, engage, share ideas, make connections, share your energy with the world. That's passion.
You grow to love your job by doing it with passion.
There can be many careers where passion and money can easily be combined but this requires luck and a good vision. Sometimes it requires taking your career and education in a different direction until you can reach or find your goal.
I got lucky that my engineering education turned into my passion which is entrepreneurship.
Following your passion sounds great but I agree that it can also be problematic. Is following your passion going to pay the bills? Possibly but you need a back up plan in case your passion doesn't work out!
Cal Newport's new book has really opened my eyes, for a long time I thought there was something wrong with me because I didn't know what my really passion was. This led to a lot of procrastination, and soul searching. None of this lead anywhere. If I'd just applied myself to my current situation and worked diligently and intelligently, opportunities would have opened up.
""When I studied people who love what they do for a living, I found that in most cases their passion developed slowly, often over unexpected and complicated paths. "
This is so true!
I think, as that article states, that instead of looking at passions in a broad way, like "I love taking pictures-I'll be a photographer" you might be more successful if you analyze what you like about taking pictures and figure out how your developed skills play into that.
Jennifer White talks about the disconnect between passionate work and profitable work in her book "Work Less, Make More." That book helped me jettison my corporate life and find the parts of my job I LOVED to do and pair them with my marketable skills. I am very happy now–and so are my clients.
I'm really passionate about family. I'm really good at other things (like science, math, engineering) but I've always been good with kids (big family) and my family is very close and that is the most important thing in my life. Unfortunately I don't yet have a family of my own. And unfortunately being good about what I'm passionate about, having a family, does not make a career. Following my passion to be a full time stay at home wife and mother is NOT an option unless I marry a billionaire. So I like my job, and I have a lot of skills and hobbies that I'm passionate about, so much that I'm willing to take a steady/stable office job in order to fulfill my passion.
"Follow your passion" is absolutely the worst advice anyone can give a 17 year old kid. What a great way to end up in with student loans in a field that one thought they were interested in, but can't afford to work in.
Here's some practical advice:
Get a job. Find out what you enjoy most about it and are best at and then find a way to do more of that at your next job and the job after that and the job after that. Changing jobs doesn't require changing employer.
Think about what you're going to earn before spending $$$$$$ money on a college education. Don't pay private school tuition for a degree that pays the same as one you can get at a state school. When you're a teacher/nurse/salesman/whatever, no one cares where you went to school. Do anything you can to avoid graduating with debt. Work with people you like, doing work you like, for a company that pays fairly until you find what it is that you're better at than anyone else. Then you've found your purpose.
I agree wholeheartedly with this post. I followed my passion (classical singing), and it brought me nothing but debt and stress. And no, I didn't suck at it–I sang at some well respected regional opera houses, plus a full ride to a decent graduate school. I'm 31, changing careers, and now entering a field which I feel great about in the health care industry.
If working a job that you consider your passion is making you miserable, then obviously that is not your passion. I think better advice would be to envision a lifestyle that you would consider ideal, and find a job that would enjoy that would engender that lifestyle, whether it is traveling, big paychecks, or helping people. I think liking your job is good enough, you don't have to love your job. Love your life, not your job. That's why we save money for retirement, so one day we can stop working completely.
Dan, you are so right. I can relate to your story somewhat. We all have various gifts that we can apply to almost any job which would afford us a nice life. It took some living in order for me to learn that, how to apply myself to something worthwhile while engaging my various gifts, and collecting a nice paycheck.

The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy, Buffalo Audubon Society and Medaille College announce a free introductory bird watching walk to the public at Riverside Park on Saturday, May 28, 2011.
Bird watching (often times referred to as birding) is the observation and study of birds through looking at (telescopes and binoculars) and listening for bird songs and calls. This introductory bird watching walk at Riverside Park will help the general public learn about the birds of Buffalo and the Niagara River and get introduced to binoculars, guide books, and field marks.
Buffalo Audubon naturalists and volunteers will be on hand to help first-time birders join the fastest growing recreational pastime in the United States. Those who are interested in attending are asked to meet in the parking lot on Hotaling Drive in Riverside Park (enter across from Roesch Avenue) at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 28.
This free introductory walk is the beginning of a partnership between the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy, Buffalo Audubon Society and Medaille College, for the purpose of building community involvement and training students on how to teach environmental education. The walk is free, but participants are asked to pre-register by calling Sal Sciandra at (716) 838-1249 x33 or email@example.com.
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

It's Casserole Week at The Kitchn!
In the last week of our month of Healthy Comfort Food, we're turning to everyone's favorite hot dish: The casserole. Gratins, buckles, slumps, shroops, tians, and bakes — they're all on the table this week. The oven can really work magic on simple, seasonal ingredients (no canned soups here!), making them more than the sum of their parts. That's the sort of recipe we have for you this week. We also have the five winners of our Best Healthy Casseroles recipe contest, and a few recipes from my own new book, Not Your Mother's Casseroles . So tell us, what else would you like to see this week?

As a vegetarian that doesn't eat eggs, I'd love to see some non-eggy casseroles! I love the idea of warm, healthy goodness coming out of the oven, but I find a lot of recipes have eggs in them. Also, I love the idea of gratins!
I'm also interested in non-eggy vegetarian casseroles! Also, could you start from the very beginning and define "casserole"? I'm thinking it is a cooked/baked dish of multiple ingredients that to some extent retain their individual identities (unlike ingredients in a cake) and that must include a carbohydrate. Just curious!
I would love to see casseroles involving eggplant. And lots of veggies in general. Thanks, guys!
As a meat, dairy, and gluten eater, I have to admit that I'm pretty excited for this week at The Kitchn! Bring on the casseroles! I can't think of a better way to spend these cold winter evenings than having a bubbling casserole the oven.
Oh hooray! I look forward to learning about healthy casseroles. My mother refused to make anything with cream-of soup in it, so growing up I never ate casseroles. My husband grew up with them, and I think he misses them. I have Faith's book on my Amazon wishlist, but I'm excited to test-drive some of her recipes before I commit to another cookbook. I want to learn about side-dish casseroles, please!
I shy away from casseroles because it seems like they take a long time to bake. I'd be interested in a story on how to get a casserole on the table within one hour, start-to-finish.
I love casseroles as much as the next person, but I was wondering if there was such a thing as a "small" casserole, that doesn't serve a small army. I know a lot are freezer-friendly, but it would be nice to have a casserole-style meal for one or two (or even 4!) instead of 8.
I'm always looking for more casseroles that can be baked straight from the freezer (with appropriate times/temperatures). And I second the request for smaller size casseroles as well.
non-dairy casseroles. the ladyfriend is (histamine-reaction!) allergic to dairy, and because we cook together/for each other this means dairy is pretty much out, always. meat's cool though!
Casserole week sounds SO much better than celiac week!
I'm a vegetarian, and I have some casserole recipes from my youth that have resisted adaptation. So I vote for a "can this casserole be saved" feature where those of us who will be leaving out or replacing some ingredient or other can get some sage advice.
I would love to see healthy pot pie recipes! I love them but all the butter in the crust and cream means they are a very rare indulgence. I would also like to see some recipes using various beans as they are great for protein, often lacking in my diet. I have been looking forward to casserole week since it was announced and have hinted to my hubby that Faith's book would be a welcome Valentine's gift.
One of the things that prevents me from making more casseroles is the prep work. I get it that the actual cooking of a casserole is mostly a hands-off affair but it does seem as though the prep work is a little much to qualify for quick weeknight cooking. Also, I echo the other two posters who commented on smaller sized casseroles and I would like to add a request for more using whole grains such as amaranth, quinoa, et al.
Looking forward to the week ahead!
I do a lot of cooking for my in-laws now that my Mother in Law has Alzheimer's. I would love more healthy, non-noodle and easy to freeze casseroles! :)
I'm not sure I even understand casseroles. They are supposed to save time but I always find these recipes that have me making two or three things then dumping them into a pan together.
My questions:
• Are there truly any recipes that have minimal prep or are they supposed to be labor intensive?
• Are there any recipes that are healthful? I see so many that involve noodles, cheese and cream. But maybe that's the point? I don't know.
• Do you make, bake, freeze, then heat up later or do you make, freeze and bake to eat later?
I don't know why casseroles are so confusing to me...
@tanster I have a great pot pie recipe that doesn't involve any dairy and it's amazing (I think so but I've been told so by many) and I would be happy to share the details!
I would love to get some casserole recipes that are easy and healthy to put together and to throw into the oven one night after work.
Is it possible to make casseroles in a crock pot?
I'm fairly certain I've never actually made a casserole aside from lasagna if that even counts.
@Shelf81, do tell. I love pot pie and would love to know how to lighten up the calories/fat.

"I picked this design for a winter shower because of the brown. It's almost like a rustic brown (not grey) in color as described for some reason. The fun colors in the baby girl are all the colors being used in the shower. Can't wait for Savannah's arrival!"
"My 12 year old son did not mind having labels on his belongings this year because this design is understated and adheres nicely to surfaces."
"I bought these to coordinate with the Sketched Sweetness invitations... since they are both listed as the color Aloe I was hoping they would match, and they do. I used the same fonts as were used on the invitation and it came out great."
"Love this design. I have now purchased change of address cards using this general design, and now address labels. Colorful and very nice!"
"I have some of these lables myself. A friend of mine saw it from the mail ad had to have some. So, I gave her some for her birthday. So incredibely classy. They came in the mail so fast as well. I would order these in a hearbeat again. You won't be disappointed. Customer service is great."
