El Paso, TX (KDBC) — In light of the recent demand for city officials to be more transparent with city business related emails, Mayor Oscar Leeser has released his letters to and from MountainStar Sports Group.
The letters are regarding MountainStar Sports Group's proposal to cover the anticipated additional $10m costs for the ballpark.
MountainStar Sports Group had agreed to cover the extra $10m as long as the terms of the agreement change. Some of those proposed changes to the agreement include that the city pay for projects that will better integrate the ballpark into the neighborhood. Another suggested change gives the MountainStar Sports Group control and final say over the ballpark schedule, project plans and ballpark budget.
In the letter to MountainStar Sports Group, Mayor Oscar Leeser said that he does not approve any of the proposed agreement changes and believes the MountainStar Sports Group should pay for the extra $10m on their own, separate of the city.
The Mayor and City Officials will not not make any further comment on this issue until Monday afternoon.
Letters are attached.

Alabama Cares Support for Caregivers Brochure
Program Administered: The National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP) established in 2000, provides grants to States and territories, based on their share of senior citizens. This funding allows families to keep their loved ones at home for as long as possible thereby preventing pre-mature nursing home placement. Alabama's allotment under the Older Americans Act amendment created the Alabama Cares Program which is administered in Alabama under the Alabama Department of Senior Services (ADSS) through the 13 Area Agencies on Aging (AAA).
Purpose: The Alabama Cares Program provides services to assist Caregivers with the duties involved in taking care of their loved ones. Caregivers play a vital role in helping seniors maintain their health and independence. However, even though caregiving is rewarding, it can have a negative impact on the health and well-being of the caregiver. Caregiving has its greatest impact on the emotional health of caregivers. Caregivers of individuals with dementia and stroke survivors are at the highest risk for depression and anxiety disorders. Therefore, the purpose of this program is to assist Caregivers with the issues that may arise from the role of caregiving. The program also allows families to keep their loved ones at home for as long as possible, thereby preventing pre-mature nursing home placement. The National Family Caregiver Support Program offers support for caregivers across the state by providing services through five basic areas.
Services Provided:
1. Information Services: A service for caregivers that provides the public and individuals with information on resources and services available within their communities.
2. Caregiver Access Assistance: A service that assists caregivers in obtaining access to the services and resources that is available within their communities.
3. Caregiver Counseling: Counseling to caregivers to assist them in making decisions and solving problems relating to their caregiver roles.
4. Caregiver Respite: Services that offer temporary, substitute supports, or living arrangements for care recipients in order to provide a brief period of relief or rest for caregivers.
5. Caregivers Supplemental Services: Services provided on a limited basis to complement the care provided by caregivers.
Target Population: Primary Caregivers of frail, older adults age 60 and older and Grandparents aged 55 and older.
Eligibility Criteria for the Cares Program: In order to be eligible for the Alabama Cares Program, an individual must be a Primary Caregiver of a frail, adult age 60 and older, or a Family Caregiver of a person with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia may be served regardless of age. The program also serves grandparents or other relative caregivers who are 55 and older (not a parent), caring for a child 18 years of age or younger, as well as children of any age with a severe disability. Priority is given to those with the greatest social and economic need and family caregivers providing care and support to persons with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.
Program Impact: The Alabama Cares Program through the aging network served the needs of 3,583 caregivers in thirteen AAAs across the state in FY 2011, 29,393 units of service were reported in Caregiver Assistance, 4,913units reported in Caregiver Counseling, 130,556 units reported in Caregiver Respite, 13,233 units reported in Caregiver Supplemental Services, and 20,409 units of service in Caregiver Information.
Program Initiatives: The Alzheimer's Disease Support Service Program (ADSSP) grant administered by the West Alabama Regional Commission Area Agency on Aging, DETA through the Department of Mental Health, Caring Days Adult Day Care, and the University of Alabama Law School worked together to complete the goals and objectives of the project. All collaborated with other community resources to identify individuals and their caregivers with an early onset diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
Through community initiatives and partnerships, they are providing education on Long-Term Care choices including home and community-based services and caregiver education. Those with an early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease along with related disorders and their caregivers were offered the resources to attend four 2-hour workshops. The topics were as follows: Dementia 101, Cognitive Wellness, Caregiving, and Legal & Financial Planning. Participants attending the workshops received a Dementia Education Toolkit. The anticipation is that this model can be replicated in other AAA regions through their Alabama Cares Programs. In addition, this grant initiative supported the HOPE conference held on March 11, 2011, which provided training related to caregiving, dementia-related disorders, and legal assistance information.

Republican Presidential contender Mitt Romney needed to accomplish three things to emerge as a clear winner in Wednesday's Presidential debate: Not screw up, stay on message and throw President Barack Obama off his game.
Romney accomplished the first two with ease. He was aggressive, in control and dominant. He stayed on message.
Obama gave him the third without a fight. The President was off his game from the beginning, appearing distracted, often confused and seldom on message. He came into the debate surprisingly unprepared, perhaps overconfident in his abilities to wing it without preparation.
Jeff Greenberg may have put it best:
There was barely a moment when Obama offered any sense that he was prepared to challenge Romney on his weakest point: who does the Republican presidential nominee speak for? How much (or little) does he understand where the country is, how it got here?
Even on the most basic political points, Obama seemed clueless. When you argue as a Democrat that you and your Republican opponent share wide areas of agreement on Social Security—especially when recipients make up a chunk of Romney's "47 percent" of indolent spongers—you have thrown in a fistful of high cards.
Romney came into debate prepared for a fight. Obama clearly did not.
Will the President's lackluster performance reset the race and put Romney back into the game?
Worried Democratic strategists told Capitol Hill Blue privately following the debate Wednesday night that the President's performance was — at best — a debacle.
"This was the worst performance I have witnessed by an incumbent President," grumbled one.
While the "official" message from the Democratic spin room tried to characterize Romney as "testy," the Obama faithful admitted to each other that the President "blew this one."
Early indicators suggest voters — who for the most part had made up their mind — may reconsider.
An instant CBS polls of undecided voters gave the debate win to Romney. Many said they were rethinking the GOP Presidential nominee and seeing him in a different — and better — light. Other polling says those who leaned towards Obama may now take a second look at Romney.
"The President single-handedly put Romney back into the race," said one Democratic strategist.
Obama's listless performance suggest a President who is not only tired and off his game but also one whose arrogance has left him vulnerable.
The first Presidential debate was Romney's to win or lose. He won handily. Obama could have avoided disaster by simply holding his own. He failed.
Adds Greenberg:
Yes, it wasn't the best atmospherics for Obama to look down, purse his lips, appear distracted, while Romney was attentive, engaged, relaxed. But this was much more than atmospherics. This was about one candidate who came with a frame for the evening, and who was prepared to engage on every question; and another who, perhaps because of his documented faith in his own abilities, felt he could wing it with snatches of familiar verbiage.
With little more than a month — and two more Presidential debates — to go, the early indicators suggest a race that will tighten and become more interesting.
Score round one for Romney.
And show Obama as a loser.
10 Responses to "No doubt about it: Romney won the debate"
Perhaps the reason Mr. Romney "won" the debate last evening is that he has a far better understanding of business and economics than the President does.
Which is perhaps also why the country is in the deepening economic mess that it's in.
Granted, Mr. Obama is a great politician. He talks a good line and he knows how to stroke people's emotions.. But when it comes to understanding what it takes to actually run a trillion dollar economy, he simply has no clue.
Remember, Mr Obama, never ran a business or had to balance a budget (other than perhaps the one for his family). His background is law and as a Chicago political hack. He "fell into" his US Senate seat largely because his opponent in the race self-destructed.
I think many people who voted for Mr. Obama last time will now be taking a second look at Mr. Romney.
That's nonsense! I clearly remember President Bush losing the 90-minute prime time 2004 debate skirmish with John Kerry where he made Junior look like an imbecile and yet GW went on to win re-election.
Remember, Willard — vis a vis Bain Capital — was in the business of destroying companies for profit
While Mitt did a performance, to bad he doesn't deal with actual facts. And I wouldn't brag about his business performance. Hec if you want a business guy – get Bill Gates. He actually created something and not just a dealer.
Larry & Walter – yes
Keith – Oh where have you been, pussy-willow?
The community disorganizer got smoked. Is he really that bad? Maybe Obama can do better in the next two rounds but if this was a boxing match the towel would have been tossed in. Even the CBS and CNN polls could not shine a light on this. That's what happens when you have John Kerry step in as "Mitt."
Romney won because he lied, and he's a good liar. The man who whored himself out to the tea party right to get the nomination lied about being a moderate. The etch-a sketch has been shaken. This election is going to get really nasty now, but Obama should be able to crush him with video of his own prior statements.
Yep, "winners" and "losers"! That's so American! Drown out the noise of the media. Hear what the candidates said. If you did, you'll realize Romney thru caution to the wind and flip-flopped repeatedly on numerous issues. While he may have "won" he certainly wasn't the consistent rightie that he's been trying to sell to his base. What we saw last night was the chameleon candidate in action and on top of his game!
If I remember correctly in 2004 Kerry was said to have easily won all three debates and yet it didn't translate into a victory for him and today were seeing something similar happening. The difference is that most of the M$M is owned by people that hate Obama and will try and make this one RMONEY victory look like the election is in fact over. It's not and I doubt that RMONEY will find the same listless unprepared debating partner as he did last night on the next two outings. The problem for Willard now is the extremely high expectations now riding on him going into the next two debates. He needs a triple crown going forward and like Secretariat in 1973 he also needs to win debate 3 ( the Belmont stakes) in 31 lengths to go into the last weeks tied or gaining with Obama. What are the odds of that happening given his overall performance up till last night? At best last night was a do or die moment for the RMONEY campaign and Willard sucked it up and saved himself for the moment. I think we just might look back on last night as his last hurrah not the beginning of his Victory parade in Nov. In other words put away the champagne folks this isn't over till the fat lady sings.
How does one rehearse for the truth in it's perfect spontaneity and still keep a strait face whilst screwy truth-ing in an internationally broadcast forum?
Pop said, dare not disparage,
grease the carriage,
it's only a four year marriage

Map It
Map City Services
Mayor Greg Fischer
LouisvilleKY.gov Links
Good afternoon!
Addressing the Downtown Rotary about the State of the City is a time-honored Louisville tradition.
The first time I spoke to you, we could almost measure my administration in hours.
Now, my team and I are pleased that you can measure it by a series of accomplishments.
· From the rousing success of our Give a Day program –with more than 107,000 volunteers or acts of compassion last year ….
· To our educational successes – a record percentage of Louisvillians, 42 percent!, hold an associate's degree or higher …
· To our innovative sustainability advances and regaining all of the jobs lost during the Great Recession – far faster than most American cities.
You can read more about our progress – from violent crime reduction to government cost reduction -- in the annual Progress Report that is at each place setting.
You can also go to our website, louisvilleky.gov, to read specifically about the progress we're making on goals from our strategic plan – which I unveiled when I spoke with you last year.
But today, I don't want to talk about the past three years – I want to talk about the next 25. As you know, we recently completed phase 2 of our Vision Louisville Plan, our community process for planning how our city will look, feel and flow in a quarter of a century. We gathered 80,000 ideas about the future of Louisville – from a Portland swimming lake to a transferia, a multi modal transit center. I saw something like this in Hong Kong last year - it's the way of the future!
Looking at these ideas – and their images – is exciting! It makes you want them today because you know the economic growth and opportunity that comes with them.
But we get there one day at a time.
So let's look at our future in three contexts:
· the future of cities,
· the future of jobs and economic development
· and Louisville's competitive place in the future.
First, the future of cities.
Cities like ours are more important than they've ever been.
· Globally, 53 percent of all people live in cities. We are a metropolitan world.
· More than 80 percent of Americans live in cities. We are a metropolitan country.
· In fact, we are a metropolitan STATE. Almost 60 percent of Kentuckians live in a city.
Not only are cities culturally and economically important; they are increasingly politically important.
Consider that the Federal Government is in a state of unprecedented gridlock. That's just a bipartisan fact. Earlier this month, a poll by the Center for Public Affairs found that 70 percent of Americans lack confidence that the Federal Government "can make progress on important problems and issues."
Bruce Katz, one of Brooking's leading thinkers, in his book "The Metropolitan Revolution," argues that it's now up to cities to meet the challenges that federal and state governments used to lead on, from improving education to growing exports.
Innovative, entrepreneurial cities will meet these challenges and thrive. Other cities will be left behind, with crumbling infrastructure, a stagnating economy and a chronic brain drain.
The choice is clear and obvious; we MUST be innovative and entrepreneurial. We must play to win. That is the only way forward!
So how do we become a more entrepreneurial, innovative city? That's the critical question that we must consider our future against.
My professional life has been an entrepreneur, innovator, and businessperson first. I just happen to be mayor.
Of course, my team is working every day to support homegrown startups and to lure already successful companies to our community.
But we also must meet a changing dynamic. People no longer follow jobs – jobs follow people.
Let me explain what I mean by that.
It used to be that people would move to big employers wherever they were located – and big employers could use the talent that existed almost anywhere.
But now, more and more, growth industries need more highly-skilled workers – this is true for tech companies that are hiring social media experts or manufacturers looking for industrial maintenance technicians.
So in today's world, companies can't locate just anywhere – their workforce is not interchangeable. They want to locate where they can find a pool of skilled workers – and a place with the quality of life to attract and retain them, no matter where they are from. So the jobs follow the people.
Here's an example. I talk a lot about Oklahoma City because the voters there have done so much to improve the livability of their city in the past couple of decades. They got this message about "jobs following people" a few years back, when United Airlines turned down a best-in-country tax incentive package for a maintenance facility because, United's executives said, they couldn't imagine their employees living in Oklahoma City -- not as it existed then. Ouch!
That was tough for them to hear. But they rebooted! They started investing in their waterfront, in their schools and in their neighborhoods. Now people come from all over the world to their rowing center. They have a ballpark, a convention center, new trolleys, a new music hall. Oklahoma City, Nashville, Austin, Indianapolis – these are the cities we are competing against – cities who are making rapid improvements in their community's quality of place.
Because they know that this is the way of the future. Again, people don't follow jobs. Jobs follow people. And people are increasingly living where the quality of place is high. People are looking for the entire package – good schools, the arts, reasonable cost of living, a beautiful natural environment, and a modern, diverse built environment.
So where does that leave us?
Given that we are living in a time where metropolitan areas are the cultural, economic and political engines for progress – and given that we live in a time when economic development is people driven, where does Louisville fit in? Where do we fit competitively?
The truth is we are not investing fast enough – not when we compare ourselves to growing cities around the country.
Jim Welch, Brown Forman's vice chair, spoke at the Downtown Forum recently and discussed how important the vitality of downtown is for their company when they are recruiting talented employees from around the world.
Not many people are going to uproot their family and leave Paris or London or Hong Kong for a job alone – not today, not if they have high-demand skills that give them lots of options.
If they are going to move across the world, they have high expectations for their new home.
Louisville has many assets, but the truth is we have to up our game if we are going to live up to the expectations that all of us have – the expectation that we can and should be one of the great 21st Century cities, one where our kids and grandkids can pursue rewarding careers, live healthy and active lives, and raise their own families in a city of opportunity and progress.
How do we achieve that goal?
First, we have to have a plan. I mentioned the 80,000 ideas we received from Vision Louisville. They were all over the map – literally in that they reached every corner of the community, but also figuratively. We received ideas that ranged from the solid and predictable – like more hike and bike opportunities, and ultra high speed internet – to the surprising and fun like ziplines over the Ohio River.
But the universal theme was that everyone envisioned a great, dynamic 21st Century city that would compete in both quality of life and quantity of opportunities with cities all over the country and all over the world.
Ask Louisvillians what they want and they want a future without limitations – partly because they want their children and grandchildren to stay here, not pursue careers in Atlanta, Chicago, London or Hong Kong. It was inspiring to see Louisvillians plan for their community – a great medium-sized, livable city without limits.
I want to direct you to the monitors to look at some of these ideas.
· People talked about wanting a more local food environment -- see the edible landscaping, the kids fishing, and the livestock!
· People want lots of opportunities for activity and exercise for all ages.
· Sustainable communities.
· And imagine if our development of the waterfront became even more complete with Waterfront Housing?
· What if we made 9th street a place to come-together, rather than an ugly reminder of perceived old community divisions?
These are inspiring to look at. However, the hard reality is that you cannot build a community on vision alone. Sound investments must be made.
· A business does not expect to grow without investing resources into research, design, capital expenditures, and marketing.
· A family does not hold back a child from college, just because college takes an investment of resources.
· Likewise, we cannot refrain from community investments if we expect to compete for jobs and opportunity. We must responsibly think and plan for the long term, not limit ourselves with cowardly short-term thinking and an anti-investment mentality.
Any organization, any business has to grow and change with the times and invest in the future. Look at Churchill Downs – this beautiful facility that we are enjoying today would not be the vital part of our community that it is – if its leaders had not continued to invest and upgrade.
As a community, we have always had to make quality of place investments. Where would we be today, if Louisville had not invested in parks – from Olmsted to the Waterfront to the Parklands? What if we had not invested in the airport and our logistics network?
Those things didn't just happen – the community made them happen.
Historically, we've invested in these types of projects through state or federal grants, gifts from private donors, or bonds.
Those aren't bad options but none of them are nimble and independent enough, especially in today's world, to be our only tools.
Look at Waterfront Park! It is a global best practice – and we are grateful – it took nearly 30 years from concept to completion! Our competitor cities are moving much faster than that. To be the best, we cannot just compare ourselves to ourselves, we – and people worldwide – compare us to other great growing cities.
So we need more tools as we chart paths for responsible, citizen driven growth.
This is the reason that LIFT -- Local Investments for Transformation – is my top legislative priority. It is absolutely critical not only for Louisville, but for every city and county in the state.
LIFT is about local control. It's about letting people vote on specific projects with specific price tags and a pay-as-you-go approach. It's about trusting local people more than state-level politicians, to make the right investment decision for their community. I don't know about you, but I say "Let these people decide! The people here in this room. The people represented in these photographs. The people of Louisville!"
And I know that LIFT is a critical tool we need now to address the investment challenges we face and remain competitive.
I know many of you are familiar with LIFT, also known as the local option sales tax, but let me recap:
LIFT gives cities and counties the option of identifying and funding a specific project or groups of projects, with the project specifications and cost identified. The projects are paid for with up to a 1 percent sales tax with that tax sunsetting when the identified funds are raised.
By law, the funds are kept in a specific capital account with clear provisions prohibiting it from use in the general fund.
In Louisville, a one percent sales tax would generate between $100-130 million a year –about the amount Waterfront Park cost. Imagine if voters had the option to make an investment of that quality every single year!
In one year, Louisville could completely pay for the remaining portions of the Louisville Loop, a 100-mile recreational trail around the city, AND fund the construction of new libraries. A proposal would be drafted, and the voters would vote yes or no.
The only reason we can't do this now? Frankfort won't let us – our state constitution won't allow it. But we as citizens can change the constitution. This is about local control of our future.
If the state legislature agrees to put amendment language on a statewide referendum, and if the people approved, we could pay for something like the Louisville Loop in less than a year.
Or we could spend the next 15 or 20 years cobbling it together from various funding sources while our competitive cities out-invest us.
The question becomes do we want to accelerate growth in this community or lope along, and possibly recede, while other cities pass us by? Louisvillians have come up with lots of great plans for our community. All we lack is nimble funding options.
LIFT is the way to turbo-charge our quality of place improvements. It is a way for us to experience a renaissance in our community and maximize the wonderful momentum we now have and grow the jobs of the future.
Fewer and fewer people are questioning this effort. We have a great group of bi-partisan leaders around the state that are LIFT champions.
It makes me shake my head when people say it's impossible. Are we that pathetic? Do we now take for granted that it would be impossible to pass a measure that, according to polls, has the support of more than 70 percent of Kentuckians and the support of business leaders, civic leaders and citizens of all political stripes?
Look at the support this has received from people like: Bill Stone, Bill Samuels, Mac Brown and Debbie Scopechhio and organizations like GLI and the Kentucky Chamber.
I want to thank these people and groups for their citizenship and leadership. I also want to ask everyone else to join them.
Get off the sidelines and get in the game! Play to win!
Sure, it's going to be a challenge. But all of you have gotten to where you are because there were moments where you took on challenging situations. You've gone into sales calls where the odds were against you, and you have started businesses during recessions… but you showed initiative and always believed you could rise to the occasion.
And that's what this situation is asking of us… Do the vast majority of people who support LIFT have enough initiative to make their voices heard? Our voices must be heard because to get us this right of local control, 60% of the state House and Senate must agree to place the question of the local option on a statewide referendum. So step one is to get Frankfort to move on this issue. We have the support of the Governor and many elected officials but we need more support!
We are talking about the future of our community. The home for our children and grandchildren.
We have got to get the message to the state legislators that the time is NOW. This can't wait two years or ten years or twenty years – because other cities are already ahead of us. 37 states already have this!
So, I'm asking you to please call your legislators today. Phone calls are the best way to make your voice heard. At your table, there is a flyer with a 1-800 number. When you call that number, an operator will help you figure out who your legislator is and connect you – so you can leave a message.
You could make this call while you're putting on your coat or walking to your car. Citizenship is convenient in today's world! But you must act!
I promise you that if everyone in this room calls Frankfort – and if each of you got 10 more people to call, LIFT will move even faster. We need to push Frankfort toward the future - and your voice as a citizen must be heard!
Every one of you is here today, because you care about our community.
You understand that a vibrant and vital community creates opportunity and security for all of us. Act on your care and commitment!
My administration has a lot more to do but we are off to a good start with three good years. Measured by jobs alone, we can see Louisville's potential for growth. More than 12,000 jobs were created in the past year and we've regained all 42,000 jobs that were lost during the recession. Our economic development and quality of life strategies are strong.
The question before us today is where do we go next? Are we going to be content saying that we climbed our way back to 2007? That things are "good enough"?
Or are we going to turn our momentum into something that will fundamentally change the future of our home?
Henry Ford once said that one of the greatest discoveries a man ever makes, one of his greatest surprises, is when he discovers he can do what he was afraid he couldn't.
I think a lot of people had given up on the idea that we could even build a bridge anymore. But we proved this year that we can! That's why I love the picture on the screen right now! Progress finally!
We can build bridges. In fact, I believe the men and women of Louisville can do ANYTHING. Indeed, we must do it! Continue growing your businesses, continue your acts of compassion, and make your voice heard with elected officials. There is no challenge too large that great citizenship cannot solve.
Thank you for allowing me to serve and I look forward to sharing our journey of growth and citizenship over the coming years.

FRISCO, Texas (AP) - Quarterback Brock Jensen ran for three touchdowns, Sam Ojuri scored twice and North Dakota State beat Sam Houston State 39-13 in a title-game rematch Saturday for its second straight FCS championship.
Jensen scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard sneak in the third quarter, and Ojuri had a 2-yard TD run on fourth & 1 after the Bison (14-1) got the ball with a fourth-down stop.
The Bearkats (11-4) had a 40-yard touchdown run by Tim Flanders brought back by a holding penalty on the first possession of the second half, and Brian Bell's second interception on the next play led to Jensen's go-ahead score.
The Bison, who won 17-6 a year ago, improved to 10-1 in the FCS playoffs with their eighth straight postseason win.

Old Hamcherry Bold is the second typeface by Iowan designer Max Dingksbuhms. After the iconic Jamon Book it is his alternative take on the super ellipse theme, taking it to a whole new level in display type.
It adds distinction to your design – be it logotypes, letterheads, book jackets, posters or other kind of jobbing type – without too much eccentricity and offers a superb sensitivity and letterfit. This clearly demonstrates Dingksbuhms' concern that an alphabet must work not just as a collection of single letters, but also have a sense of unity in itself.

An emergency is anything that places the student at risk, whether illness, an act of violence, civil unrest in the host country, a missing student or a natural disaster. As you can see, emergencies are not necessarily medical. Emergencies are unplanned or unexpected occurrences that jeopardize the health, safety or well-being of a student or a group of students.
Emergencies are NOT: losing a textbook or digital camera, sore throats or ear aches. For such medical conditions, simply visit a doctor. The international office at your overseas center will provide you with the names of doctors and hospitals to use at your on-site orientation.
If the emergency occurs overseas, contact the local emergency services immediately (police, fire, ambulance), if necessary, but, most importantly, contact the on-site, international center staff or the CSU Resident Director. You will be given their contact information at orientation and you should keep it in a safe place where you can refer to it if necessary. Program their numbers into your cell phone for quick reference. The local people at your overseas center are best equipped to provide immediate and appropriate assistance in the event of an emergency.
Once you have communicated to the local staff, inform the Office of International Programs (OIP) in Long Beach about the emergency and we will provide any additional assistance that we can. You can telephone OIP at: (562) 951-4790 during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. PST).
After hours or on weekends you have access to an emergency travel assistance service called Europ Assistance USA. This is a supplemental part of the mandatory health insurance policy that all CSU IP participants have purchased. For any serious emergency situations they should be contacted as soon as possible.
|Europ Assistance Contact Information
|Call from within the U.S.
|(800) 243-6124
|Call collect from outside the U.S.
|(202) 659-7803
|or E-mail
Travel Assistance Services: In addition to the protection provided in this plan, ACE USA has arranged with Europ Assistance USA to provide you with access to its travel assistance services around the world. Theses services include:
When you call, please be prepared with the following information: 1) name of caller, phone number, fax number, and relationship to Covered Person; 2) Covered Person's name, age, sex, and the policy number for your insurance plan, and your Plan Number (01AH585); 3) a description of the insured's condition; 4) name, location, and telephone number of the hospital or other service provider; and 5) other insurance information including health insurance, workers' compensation, or auto insurance if the insured was involved in an accident.
This information provides you with a brief outline of the services available to you. These services are subject to the terms and conditions of the Policy under which you are insured. A third party vendor may provide services to you. Europ Assistance makes every effort to refer you to the appropriate medical and other service providers. It is not responsible for the quality or results of service provided by independent providers. In all cases, the medical provider, facility, legal counsel, or other professional service provider suggested by Europ Assistance are not employees or agents of Europ Assistance and the choice of provider is yours alone. Europ Assistance assumes no liability for the services provided to you under this arrangement, nor is it liable for any negligence or other wrongful acts or omissions of any of the legal health care professionals providing services to you. Travel assistance services are not available if your coverage under the Policy providing insurance benefits is not in effect.
Note: Europ Assistance is NOT an insurance company but rather an emergency assistance company which provides international services in conjunction with the insurance benefits covered by your health insurance policy. They do NOT reimburse for any of the above-mentioned services, but rather coordinate and provide such services as needed according to their judgment of the situation. We cannot stress enough how important it is to call Europ Assistance as soon as you are able when any emergency arises to ensure maximum assistance from them.

Desmond Hendricks ′09Hometown: Chattanooga, TN
Major: History
Solid gold: Desmond spends every Monday and Thursday afternoon helping at-risk youth get a new start.
What brought you to Rhodes?
I came here to play football, major in math, eventually become an engineer, and also to get away from home. Like most people, I wanted to change the scenery that I had been used to since middle school. Rhodes wasn't too far from home but far enough. Becoming part of the Rhodes community brought new challenges in the classroom and life. Once I got inside I began to understand those challenges and grew as a result of them.
What have been some of those challenges?
At the very beginning of my Rhodes career I struggled in some of my classes. Looking back, I can see it was because I was majoring in the wrong thing. Before I figured that out, I had to change the way I applied myself. I did this by using what I have learned in football—you don't always get what you put in, but the more you put in, the more you get out. Your whole perception of life changes when you are on your own. It's scary at first but you get used to it, with guidance and help.
What made you decide to change your major?
That's easy. When I took Professor Charles McKinney's African American history class I was suddenly aware that what I did not know far surpassed what I did know. Professor McKinney's dynamic and passionate way of teaching made me want to get up in the morning and go to class, and learning something new every day has been a huge motivating factor. When it came time to declare my major, I chose history and have never looked back.
Has playing football at Rhodes lived up to your expectations?
Absolutely. It has been a huge stress reliever and one of my best experiences at Rhodes so far. I believe competition makes people better—sharper—and can be applied productively both on the field and off. It comes with its challenges as well as its rewards. It has made the process of becoming a part of the Rhodes community a lot smoother because I know so many people. I have met professors that I will never take a class from, alumni that I would never have encountered otherwise, advisors that have allowed my Rhodes experience to have meaning, coaches who are always in my corner, and more friends than my Facebook could tell you.
What do you do for fun?
The same things most people do—hang out with friends, spend too much time in the BCLC, listen to music and any physical activity. Where I get the most satisfaction, though, is the Grizzly Academy, a "second-chance" program that accepts at-risk youths who have fallen behind in school but still have hopes of receiving their high school diplomas on time, so they can go into the workforce. These kids need positive role models, and I saw first-hand what struggling really was. I go every Monday and Thursday afternoon and lead the kids in physical recreation activities to give them a chance to excel outside of the classroom as well as in it.
How do you find time for that?
You know, I wouldn't be where I am today if someone didn't take time out of their lives to offer me some positive words and given me opportunities to become a better person. I have been blessed by so many people and hopefully these kids see me in the same light—that's me giving back.

Can someone please correct my economics?
In India, 55% population is working in agriculture sector, 20%-25% in service and industry sector, 7-10% in public sector, 10% nearly unemployed.
Though the service and industry sector in India contributes the most to the GDP (55%), population wise it employs the least (20-25%).
If say the developed nations demand less goods and services, this would mean developing nations like India would see fall in exports of goods and services and also see fall in its imports of energy like oil an gas. This would create a surplus of supply in energy sector and costs would go down.
Hence, if the developed nations reduce the import of goods and services from India, I agree it may contribute in less income to nearly 20-25% of the population involved in the service and industry sector, but would help nearly 70% of the population to have an increase in their income as their energy costs (direct and indirect) go down.
The current economic difference between the poor and rich is very high. I believe this slow down will give time to the country to bring about a balance.
In the current economic crisis, many companies let go the most experienced staff or elderly staff and retained the young ones since they are low cost to the company. I believe similar effect will be seen if a slowdown happens in India. The rich elderly executives will be forced retired (can still lead a good life) and on the other hand the 70% population gets a chance to catch up with the rich.
Let me know if i am missing something in my view.

Is equality feasible and is it worth achieving? Subquestion: By your definitions, is equality synonymous with fairness?
This is an idea I recently fell upon while thinking about colleges and scholarships. I was wondering why I've been told (not actually witnessed) that minorities get a better chance of getting in college for being a minority. This was apparently an attempt to level the playing field and make things for equal for applicants. I realized that in their attempt to equalize the playing field, they made it unfair. What are your thoughts on this situation and any other equality situation? Do you think people should be going for fairness or equality, both, or are they essentially the same thing?

Ben Jarvis 50+May 23 2013: jim it's pretty hard to have a conversation with you when you seem to like keeping your points secret rather than just making them. try explaining what's on your mind and you'll find that there are people all around who can push you.
please explain what the dynamics of equality and the truth are?
May 23 2013: Take the challenge!
4 hours ago: There was no reply button on your post to me, about Ben Jarvis, so I came here. To answer you, without equality and fairness, those that profit from such must dumb down not only others kids, but their own as well. IE: I can't find anyone here on Ted that can press my mind, hence the world looses out greatly.

PARIS (AP) -- Marseille showed the gulf in class in a 3-1 win over amateur side Bourg-Peronnas to reach the French Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday, while Paris Saint-Germain needed Nene's clinical finish to edge Dijon 1-0.
Marseille forward Brandao opened the scoring from close range in the 28th minute and doubled the lead in the 45th. Brandao has five goals in six matches since returning to Marseille after a loan spell at Brazilian club Gremio.
Ghana forward Jordan Ayew made it 3-0 with a low drive in the 54th.
Ousmane Diaby scored a consolation goal for Bourg-Peronnas in the 78th.
Brazilian midfielder Nene saved PSG from a lackluster performance by curling home the winner from a tight angle in the 15th.
Both matches were postponed last week because of a cold snap.
Bourg-Peronnas almost caught the hosts off guard in the opening minutes as striker Julio Tavares raced down the right flank on a counterattack to fire over the bar.
Marseille gradually took control, and Brandao finally converted the dominance into a lead by beating goalkeeper Sebastien Callamand to the ball to flick home a cross from Cesar Azpilicueta.
Marseille added the second on the stroke of halftime. Morgan Amalfitano played Brandao in with a side-footed pass and he beat Callamand with a low strike.
Brandao could have scored a hat trick in the first half but his header from a corner bounced off the bar in the 42nd.
Substitute Ayew fired home from the edge of the box to make it 3-0.
In Bourg-Peronnas' lone chance of the second half, left back Amar Ben Melouka took a free kick that hit the Marseille wall. Diaby pounced on the loose ball to shoot past goalkeeper Gennaro Bracigliano for consolation.
Dijon knocked PSG out of the League Cup with a 3-2 win in October but could not repeat the feat on Wednesday.
PSG converted its first scoring chance by capitalizing on a blunder from Dijon goalkeeper Baba Tchagouni, who missed his first touch while taking a backpass from Chaher Zarour. Nene won the ball and rounded Tchagouni to slot into an empty net.
Another defensive mistake nearly cost Dijon in the 35th. Zarour cleared the ball into the path of Nene, who shot wide from the edge of the box.
Dijon fought back in the second half. Brice Jovial cut inside PSG defender Diego Lugano to fire a low effort that goalkeeper Nicolas Douchez turned around the post in the 63rd.
Douchez denied Jovial again by stopping a spinning shot from the Dijon striker in the 71st.
PSG found more space as Dijon pushed hard for an equalizer, and winger Jeremy Menez made a solo run to hit a lob that sailed over the bar in the 74th.

YSI 300 Hour Teacher Training
From 2009 to 2012, YSI offered a 300-Hour Teacher Training Program. The program was designed by Kimberley Theresa Lafferty, Ted Lafferty, Mira Shani, Kristina Pao Cheng, and Nicole Sanderson. It combined the lineage of Tibetan Heart Yoga created by Christie McNally (which presented a detailed system of mental practices to do during asana practice), a system of alignment principles and teaching methods from the (former) Anusara yoga system, Integral Life Practice Framework by Ken Wilber, the scriptural translations of classic yoga scriptures by Geshe Michael Roach, plus many hours of teaching, practicum, anatomy, and more.
Students were asked to commit to a strict system of personal ethics and daily spiritual practice including yoga, meditation, and active service in the world.
Here are some clips from the program.
A video of Kimberley Theresa teaching on the Yoga Sutra.
Every student who graduated through our program put in a great deal of effort and application to earn their certification. These graduates should be commended for their rigor, selflessness, and spiritual ambition. They are warriors of practice and world-centric thinkers. Each one left empowered into a new version of themselves.

Supervision - How it Works
Fee for Services
The fee of $ 125.00 has been adopted as the monthly fee for payment of supervision services. This fee will entitle the supervisee to receive four (4) clinical hours of individual supervision (a clinical hour being 45-50 minutes) and two (2) hours of group supervision each month. The specific format for individual supervision will depend on the needs of the supervisee. The formats of supervision that may be counted as individual supervision can be found below. Group supervision will consist of a monthly 2-hour group, during which time group members will have an opportunity to receive feedback from the supervisor as well as peers.
The workshops in which you are enrolled and this supervision require some form of evaluation. Throughout the semester you will receive timely feedback related to your professional and skills development. A more comprehensive evaluation will occur at the end of the semester on your course-provided rating form. Your growth will be discussed throughout the semester; therefore, the semester-end evaluation will contain nothing we haven't processed.
Legal and Ethical
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist and Supervisor, and National Certified Counselor, I adhere to the legal and ethical standards set forth by each of these bodies.

As a result of poor management, the never-to-be-named company I work for has its own sort of hell. It's a nonprofit research firm that gathers information for studies, and the managers of the firm are not too careful about being efficient -- either in fixing problems or in budgeting money.
On the budget side, the firm uses what can be described as a bucket system to keep track of the money for each project, and the budget per project is strictly apportioned to that task. If there is profit, none of it can be used for, say, general upgrades of the software. The way the managers run things, the budget for general operations is meager, so nothing much gets improved even if there is profit elsewhere from projects.
[ The tech inferno is not buried deep within the earth -- it's just down the hall. Do the nine circles of IT hell sound familiar? | Follow Off the Record on Twitter for tech's war stories, career takes, and off-the-wall news. ]
This leaves our projects with a shared code base, which has some glaring bugs. These bugs show up in every project, and they have to be fixed within each and every project. There's always budget to fix these bugs -- every single time, in every project. But there's no budget to fix them once and be done with it.
The irony is that if once -- just once -- the managers had the programmers apply the same effort they make to fixing the scripts for one to three projects to fixing the base code once, several universal problems would be solved forever, thus saving time, money, and aggravation.
Even worse, to cut costs further, the managers have hired a programming staff that has very little, if any, programming background -- only a couple of people have relevant experience. There also aren't any kind of programming standards, and the lack of oversight means that mistakes creep in way too often, or as is most often the case, mistakes never get corrected.
If the programmers who do have experience try to get something fixed, the management's bureaucracy stops the attempt cold with reams of paperwork and stifling workflow processes.

King University is committed to complying with all NCAA rules and regulations in the management and conduct of its intercollegiate athletic department. The University acknowledges its responsibility for monitoring all aspects of its athletics programs to ensure NCAA compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA any areas in which the institution fails in that obligation. King University will fully cooperate at all times with the NCAA and take appropriate and recommended actions as necessary.
The University acknowledges that the responsibilities listed above are a collective endeavor of the institution and that effort is shared by the athletic department staff, student-athletes, individuals, institutional staff and groups representing the athletic interests of the institution. While acknowledging the collective effort the University also emphasizes that it is the individual's responsibility to practice a positive and ethical attitude toward NCAA compliance.
As a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II member, King University is responsible for the actions of all persons and organizations engaged in activities that promote King's athletic interests. Therefore the University must ensure that its coaches, student-athletes, faculty and staff, alumni, donors and friends abide by all NCAA regulations. It is especially important to note that recruitment of prospective student-athletes is the sole responsibility of King University coaches. Representatives of our athletics interests (boosters) cannot be involved in the recruiting process.
We therefore need your cooperation to ensure our full compliance with NCAA rules. Violations of NCAA rules could affect the eligibility of prospects or current King student-athletes, result in penalties being imposed on King by the NCAA, and lead to restrictions on your involvement with King's athletics programs. Here is some important information that you should know.
Who is a Representative of Athletics Interest (Booster)?
A representative of athletics interests is any individual, group or organization who has:
It is important to know that once booster status is established, you retain that identity indefinitely.
What is a Prospective Student-Athlete?
A prospective student-athlete is any student who has either begun classes in the 9th grade or who has received benefits that the institution does not generally provide to all prospective students. This definition includes junior college student-athletes as well.
What is an "extra benefit"?
An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a representative of athletics interests to provide a student-athlete or their relatives/friends a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Boosters are not permitted to provide enrolled student-athletes and prospective student-athletes, or their relatives/friends with any "extra benefits."
Examples of extra benefits include, but are not limited to:
You may provide the following:
What are representatives of athletic interest (boosters) permitted to do?
As a booster you are not allowed to:

Authorities have identified a 20-year-old man they've arrested in the firebombing of the suburban Detroit home of an heir to the Art Van Furniture business.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says Charles P. Kay is charged in Friday's Molotov cocktail attack on the Grosse Pointe Park home of Gary Van Elslander.
His Van Elslander's father is Art Van Furniture Corp. founder Art Van Elslander.
The firebomb damaged a kitchen window and started a fire that was put out before firefighters arrived. Van Elslander, his wife and other family members were inside.
Kay is charged with arson, sending an explosive with intent to cause damage, and possession of a Molotov cocktail. His arraignment was scheduled Sunday in Grosse Pointe Park Municipal Court.
There's no immediate word if Kay has a lawyer.

Intramural sports are competitions between individuals or teams of students on the same university campus. Intramural team sports normally have a season that builds up to play-offs and an eventual campus-wide championship. Intramural individual sports normally have a one day tournament that determines the campus champion. Intramural teams normally do not have coaches, and usually do not have practices and play primarily for fun and recreation. Some intramural leagues are co-recreational, meaning men and women compete together. Player skill levels range from intermediate to advanced. Beginners are strongly encouraged to participate in open recreation in that sport to gauge their skill level prior to registering for an intramural sport. Sports & Fitness organizes the competitions and the participants organize the teams. Players without teams may sign up as free agents. To participate players simply show up, play fair and have a great time.
