Shattered Calcaneus (Heel Bone)

I've noticed that nobody has really posted about this in years. I thought I should share my story. On May 28 2012, last year for memorial day, I went canoeing (from Louisiana LOL). I decided to swing off of a rope swing. I ended up landing in the shallow water and landing on my left foot. For someone who had never had surgery or had ever been hurt before, I did not realize how big of a life altering injury this was. After going to the emergency room that afternoon, I found out that I shattered my left heel bone, or Calcaneus, into pieces. After visiting an orthopedic surgeon, my surgery was scheduled two weeks later. Doctor told me that the swelling had to go down before he could operate. On the day of my surgery, I stayed in the operating room for like 6 hours. The doctor cut an L shaped incision on the outside of my foot. He put 10 screws and a metal plate into my heel. He said that putting the bone back together was like nailing jell-o to a tree. I had 22 stitches and a drainage tube outside of my foot. He kept me in the hospital for three nights on a morphine drip pump. My doctor was good about keeping the pain under control with the morphine and percocets. The surgery was rough and the meds made me sick but I really can't complain. The doctor pulled the pump out of my foot (HORRIBLE PAIN) after three days. My stitches were removed after 5 weeks. Once the stitches were removed, I went from a wrapped up sling to a walking boot (But no weight baring). After about 9 1/2 weeks, I began weight baring. While I was in the boot, I was allowed to start doing foot motions which helped 100%. my doctor wanted me to be in a hard cast but I begged to wear the boot. He said in the end it was a good decision. While I was in the boot, I would get in the pool and swim.. definitely helped get my movement back. Once I FINALLY could put weight on it, I started physical therapy. That, by far, was the hardest part of it all. But the more work you put in your foot, the better. After about a month, I was walking good with a small limp. Slowly, my limp got better. The pain became more tolerable too. After about six months, I was walking like normal but certain movements of my foot would hurt. After about 15 months later, I'm doing pretty good. I have a surgery scheduled September 26th to take the metal out and fuze a joint and fix a few problems. I have my good days and bad days. It's tolerable but some of the things you use to do, you might not be able to do so easy. I guess it's how much you put your mind to it. The whole incident was not easy and the pain was crazy but it DOES get better. Keep your head up. Hope this helps. Im nervous about my surgery coming up. Hope it isn't as bad as my one last year. Ready to get this metal out of my foot.

Database and System Administrator
United States - Tests: 2
I am a seasoned database and system administrator with over 20 years of experience. If you're looking for simple stand alone programming or strategic enterprise implementations or anything in between, you've found the right person. I have developed and maintained various applications using Microsoft Access and VBA. I've been fortunate to take part in many enterprise level software implementations including Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using ESRI products, and PeopleSoft Systems (HR and FSCM). My part in these projects included both technical and project management duties. On the back end I sized, installed, and configured the UNIX (AIX, Solaris, and Linux) and Windows servers. I installed and configured the Oracle databases for these applications. Oh and of course, production maintenance for all the above is also included.

Satun National Museum – Kuden Mansion
Category : Museums
Attraction Details :
The two-story building received the influence of western architecture; particularly the windows and doors which are of Roman motifs. While the roofs were designed in the Thai's Panya style but the windows were assembled with narrow strips of boards arranged horizontally. The semi-circular clay tiles were used to cover the roofs. The ventilation at the upper-front of the building is decorated with star-shaped designs, imminently influenced by Muslim architecture. The building was built by Phraya Phuminatphakdi, the former governor of Satun in 1902 as his residence. After being a city hall for a long time, nowadays the building serves as a museum housing antiques and artifacts and exhibiting the local art and culture.
Opening hours: 9am-4pm
Getting there: Satun National Museum or Ku Den Museum is situated on Satun Thani Road, opposite the Satun Land Department Office.

Serge Ligtenberg, File, Associated Press
Should children have the right to ask for their own deaths?
In Belgium, where euthanasia is now legal for people over the age of 18, the government is considering extending it to children — something that no other country has done. The same bill would offer the right to die to adults with early dementia.
Advocates argue that euthanasia for children, with the consent of their parents, is necessary to give families an option in a desperately painful situation. But opponents have questioned whether children can reasonably decide to end their own lives.
Belgium is already a euthanasia pioneer; it legalized the practice for adults in 2002. In the last decade, the number of reported cases per year has risen from 235 deaths in 2003 to 1,432 in 2012, the last year for which statistics are available. Doctors typically give patients a powerful sedative before injecting another drug to stop their heart.
Only a few countries have legalized euthanasia or anything approaching it.
In the Netherlands, euthanasia is legal under specific circumstances and for children over the age of 12 with parental consent. (There is an understanding that infants, too, can be euthanized, and that doctors will not be prosecuted if they act appropriately.) Elsewhere in Europe, euthanasia is only legal in Luxembourg. Assisted suicide, where doctors help patients to die but do not actively kill them, is allowed in Switzerland.
In the U.S., the state of Oregon grants assisted suicide requests for residents aged 18 or over with a terminal illness. Assisted suicide also is allowed in the states of Washington, Vermont and Montana.
In Belgium, the ruling Socialist party has proposed the bill expanding the right of euthanasia. The Christian Democratic Flemish party vowed to oppose the legislation and to challenge it in the European Court of Human Rights, if it passes. A final decision must be approved by Parliament and could take months.
In the meantime, the Senate has heard testimony on both sides of the issue.
"It is strange that minors are considered legally incompetent in key areas, such as getting married, but might (be able) to decide to die," Catholic Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard testified.
Leonard said alternatives like palliative sedation make euthanasia unnecessary — and relieves doctors of the burden of having to kill patients. In palliative sedation, patients are sedated and life-sustaining support is withdrawn so they starve to death; the process can take days.
But the debate has extended to medical ethicists and professionals far from Belgium.
Charles Fostr, who teaches medical law and ethics at Oxford University, believes children couldn't possibly have the capacity to make an informed decision about euthanasia since even adults struggle with the concept.
"It often happens that when people get into the circumstances they had so feared earlier, they manage to cling on all the more," he said. "Children, like everyone else, may not be able to anticipate how much they will value their lives if they were not killed."
There are others, though, who argue that because Belgium has already approved euthanasia for adults, it is unjust to deny it to children.
"The principle of euthanasia for children sounds shocking at first, but it's motivated by compassion and protection," said John Harris, a professor of bioethics at the University of Manchester. "It's unfair to provide euthanasia differentially to some citizens and not to others (children) if the need is equal."
And Dr. Gerlant van Berlaer, a pediatric oncologist at the Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussels hospital, says the changes would legalize what is already happening informally. He said cases of euthanasia in children are rare and estimates about 10 to 100 cases in Belgium every year might qualify.

Laura Bush is in her seventh year with the Golden Gopher volleyball program and her third as an associate head coach. Being the Gopher interim head coach until Hugh McCutcheon arrived with the program in August of 2012, Bush has nine years of head coaching experience at Auburn (2002-07) and Marquette (1999-2001).
She has also gone to the Final Four with three different Big Ten programs. Bush went as a player for Illinois in 1987 & 88, as an assistant coach from Michigan State in 1995 and with Minnesota in 2009. She arrived in 2008 and helped lead the Gophers to an 81-25 record in those seasons, a 45-15 Big Ten mark, a Final Four in 2009, two NCAA Regionals and pair of second-place finishes in conference play.
With the interim tag, Bush led the Golden Gophers to a Sweet Sixteen appearance in 2011. Minnesota defeated North Dakota State and Washington as Minnesota hosted the NCAA Regionals. Coaching Ashley Wittman and Tori Dixon to All-America citations, both were also all-regional as well as First Team All-Big Ten. in 2012, Bush continued her role as interim until McCutcheon's arrival and later promoted her to associate head coach title.
In 2010, the Gophers finished 26-9, went 9-1 in the second half of Big Ten play to finish tied for second at 14-6 and advanced to the NCAA Regionals. For the first time since 2004, Minnesota defeated every team in the Big Ten at least once.

How Al Jazeera is Forging the Future of Social TV. Everything was ready to go, but of course Osama bin Laden had to go and ruin it.
The night before the debut episode of The Stream on Al Jazeera English, the al Qaeda leader was killed by U.S. Navy SEALS, forcing the producers of the news program to rethink the entire line-up at the last minute. By the time the show aired, they had managed to schedule an on-air Skype interview with Sohaib Athar, who had unknowingly live-tweeted the beginning of the raid that killed bin Laden. Athar, who Al Jazeera tracked down via Twitter, gave his first on-screen interview on The Stream that Monday. Athar fielded questions not only from the show's host, but from users across the globe via Twitter.

Quels indicateurs de mesure. Lundi dernier j'ai eu l'occasion de donner une conférence au Reputation Day sur une thématique inhérente à la gestion de la réputation en ligne : les indicateurs et les formes de mesures.
Plutôt que de faire un simple inventaire, j'ai axé ma présentation sur les biais et limites des indicateurs existants. Et sur la nécessité de définir des objectifs et in fine des indicateurs en adéquation avec son organisation… Voici donc ma présentation, suivie de quelques remarques et commentaires sur ces slides (qui, rappelons-le, ne se suffisent pas à eux-mêmes). How to Measure Social Media ROI for Business.
Social media measurement is one of those topics about which everyone has an opinion, but nobody agrees on the solution.
The question about how to measure the return on investment (ROI) for social media participation comes up in every workshop I deliver, as definitive, statistic-based metrics seem to be the primary way communicators feel they can secure approval and budget for these programs from their management teams. If you're waiting for someone to provide that magic bean, then put away your watering can. The Maturation of Social Media ROI. Brian Solis is a principal at new media agency FutureWorks, and author of the upcoming book, Engage.
You can connect with him on Twitter or Facebook. The debate over measuring social media investment inspired many brands to cannonball into popular social networks and join the proverbial conversation without a plan or strategic objectives defined. At the same time, the lack of ROI standards unnerved many executives, preventing any form of experimentation until their questions and concerns were addressed. In 2010, we're entering a new era of social media marketing — one based on information, rationalization, and resolve.
Business leaders simply need clarity in a time of abundant options and scarcity of experience. Over the years, our exploration and experience has redefined the traditional metrics and created hybrid models that will prove critical to modern business practices and help companies effectively compete for the future. A new way to measure word-of-mouth marketing - McKinsey Quarterly - Marketing - Strategy. Consumers have always valued opinions expressed directly to them.

As consumers overwhelmed by product choices tune out the ever-growing barrage of traditional marketing, word of mouth cuts through the noise quickly and effectively.

SCSRN is sponsoring this Public Health Ecotour for faculty, students, and anyone interested in experiencing and expanding their knowledge about public health in this beautiful Central American country. The 7-day international educational trip will focus on the public health system in Nicaragua, with visits to rural public health centers, conversations with officials from MINSA (Ministry of Health), talks with both public and private sector health care providers, and a visit to Casa Materna (http://casamaterna.org/) where women receive pre- and postnatal care and education during pregnancy. A visit to a local center that works with children with disabilities will provide insight on how these children receive services with SCSRN's support. Travelers will talk with local lay health workers and midwives, tour the public health hospital as well as meet with NGO leaders who specialize in topics such as alternative medicine and food security.
Participants will spend four days in the town of San Ramón, staying in the casas huésped (you can learn about this incredible cross-cultural immersion opportunity with this blog – http://san-ramon.org/uncategorized/a-glimpse-of-a-casa-huesped. During this homestay, the participants will be able to learn about the reality of Nicaraguan healthcare on a personal, local level. Cultural activities that travelers will experience in town include learning traditional dance, enjoying local cuisine, and visiting a local craft fair. Afterwards travelers will spend three days in the award-winning organic coffee farm and ecolodge Finca Esperanza Verde (http://fincaesperanzaverde.com). In the Finca's beautiful pavilion which overlooks a breathtaking view of the cloud forest, the group can discuss what they have been learning about health policies of this developing country. There will also be time for adventure and relaxation: enjoying invigorating nature hikes with local guides describing the indigenous flora and fauna before listening to traditional music by a bonfire.
Please email Leslie Zeldin at email@example.com or call 919-357-6368 to inquire about this exciting and enlightening experience!]]>
While the Nicaraguan Contra War is a very painful memory for much of the population, it is just that – a memory. The war ended 25 years ago, and since then Nicaragua has made great strides in peace, reconciliation, and economic growth. While it is true that Nicaragua remains one of the poorest countries in the region, it has, in the words of The World Bank "[defied] global economic odds," by stabilizing its economy and attracting foreign investment and trade. One of the fastest-growing sectors is tourism; Lonely Planet listed Nicaragua for the third time among its top destinations in 2015. What's more, Nicaragua is among the safest countries in Latin America. On the Law and Order Index published by the Gallup poll for 2014, Nicaragua received the highest score for all of Latin America.
But even knowing all that, it's natural to be nervous about traveling to a developing country (or anywhere, for that matter), especially when you don't know the language or the lay of the land. Sure, you could buy one of those packages where you get picked up at the airport and whisked away to an all-inclusive resort, but you could have that kind of generic experience in just about any country. That's why traveling with us is your best option for seeing real life in Nicaragua. SCSRN has been a part of the San Ramon community for over 20 years, and as such, we offer a well-established travel experience that allows you to share Nicaragua's food, people, history, and culture in a safe, familial environment. The host families and service providers that work with us have many years of experience receiving foreign visitors, and are well-prepared to make you feel comfortable and welcome. Like we always say – when you travel with us, you travel with family.
If you are interested in learning more about the travel experiences we offer, please contact Kristine, our International Education Coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to sharing our love for Nicaragua and the wonderful people of San Ramon with you!]]>
Trip organizer, Maggie Underberg, remembers how meaningful it was to go on our cross-cultural immersion ecotour with her 13 year old son in February, 2014. "When I first heard about the trip, I thought…that sounds great but my son can't miss a week of school. But when I considered all that he would learn on the trip, it was a no-brainer. Learning to cook Nicaraguan food, learning about the history of the town and country, being a part of real Nicaraguan life was exciting and real. Making up the schoolwork was not a problem and the value of learning about a culture very similar to his own (he is Guatemalan) was invaluable. I have chosen this time of year for the 2015 trip because it will greatly reduce time out of school and give us a chance to celebrate Thanksgiving with our friends in San Ramón."
Maggie has fond memories of waking up in the morning to the sounds of the neighbor tapping out homemade tortillas. She also was moved to spend a lot of time reconnecting with people and getting away from technology. Even her son who was very skeptical that he could survive a week without technology was pleasantly surprised how easy it was and is eager to have more opportunity to participate in life outside of his iPhone. Last year, Maggie and her son's "in-town" guide was a boy of a similar age to her son and they are looking forward to seeing him again and catching up.
Contact Maggie Underberg if you are interested in this trip for this year. Her information is Maggie Underberg, email@example.com, 919-619-0902. Maggie's role as trip coordinator is fully supported by the Sister Communities of San Ramón, Nicaragua, an organization that has been conducting these trips for more than 14 years.

In 2013, SCSRN built four new classrooms to relieve the problem of overcrowding, and it was then that we realized that the electrical system was in very poor and dangerous condition. One of the two computers on campus had been damaged by power surges, bare cables were laying haphazardly on metal roofs, and some lines had fallen so low that a child could reach up and grab them. The need was immediate, but the job was massive, and required somebody with the experience and know-how to design and implement a new system.
Enter the South Granville Rotary Club. With their many years of partnering with Nicaraguan Rotary Clubs to do construction and electrical work, they were just the folks to help us tackle this big problem. After much fundraising, planning, and designing, they swooped in and IN ONE WEEK installed an entirely new, fully functional, completely safe electrical system! And as if that weren't enough, in their spare time they made over 100 blocks with our block-making machine! I do not exaggerate when I say that these Rotarians and their incredible work ethic were the talk of the town.
Today, the high school hosted an inaugural ceremony to recognize this huge improvement that has been made to their school. There was music, dancing, and many speeches admonishing the students to take care of their school and its new electrical installations. The principal mentioned that he hopes to obtain some computers for the library now that the school has the capacity to support them.
Indeed, there are many possibilities now that the school has a reliable electrical system, and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of the South Granville Rotary Club. This type of partnership allows us to multiply our impact in San Ramon exponentially, and we hope to have the chance to work with these amazing Rotarians in the future!
I loved staying with a host family. That was when I truly got to experience the Nicaraguan culture. For example, my host mom gave us a cooking lesson and taught us how to make traditional Nicaraguan foods. Because we were there for Semana Santa (Holy Week) we got to experience their traditions for this holiday. This trip also allowed me to practice my Spanish.
My favorite part of the trip was visiting East Chapel Hill High School's sister school "El Trentino." Seeing the difference that this partnership makes in the lives of many was really inspiring. I love knowing that I have made the world a slightly better place. Seeing this small, one room school where the kids were so grateful to receive even the most basic school supplies made me realize all that I take for granted. It was so inspiring to me that my friend, Lena Cohen, and I have decided to start a sister school partnership at our own school, Chapel Hill High School.
This trip to Nicaragua was a very positive experience for me and I strongly recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to go.

From the minute we arrived at the airport in Managua to the minute we returned there, the trip was amazingly well-organized. The staff was extremely competent and did everything possible to make our visit safe, fun, and educational. We were delighted with the tranquil beauty of Finca Esperanza Verde and hated to leave after our time there. But when we arrived at our guest houses in San Ramon, it was clear that this part of our adventure was also very special. Everyone quickly bonded with their host families, and our guides filled our heads with fascinating information about the history of the town and the many programs that SCSRN had made possible for its citizens. We loved meeting the children of the local schools, and the mix of cultural activities and service projects was just right.
Since that first trip, I have returned each year with another group of students, and this year's group is about to depart at the end of March. Even though I have been there so many times, San Ramon never fails to surprise me. Each year there are new things to see, new people to meet, and different projects to take on. When I ask my students what has meant the most the them on these trips, they always say the same thing – the most meaningful part of their time in San Ramon is the interaction with the wonderful people they meet, from the children of our sister school to the guides to the host families. They return with an expanded view of the world and their place in it, thanks to the many lessons they learn on these trips.

How did you begin as a Casa Huesped? What was the experience like at first?
I began receiving international visitors in my home in 2000. At first, those of us who were the first Casas Huesped were volunteers. We received a group of Swedish engineers who built the local library. Our contribution to their project was providing housing and food. Later, one of the founders of SCSRN, Lonna Harkrader, suggested we offer this service to visiting groups, so that they could experience what life is like in a Nicaraguan household. She also came up with the name "Casas Huesped." Now there are many Casas Huesped, and many different organizations in town use their services. At first, it was hard for us to believe that anyone would be interested in coming to stay in a sleepy little town like San Ramon. Also, people here are usually timid talking with strangers, and even more so with foreigners. Even I was a little uncomfortable at first, because even though I had had lots of experiences meeting new people as a community leader, I didn't know how I was going to communicate with people who didn't speak Spanish. I can remember thinking, "What if I make a mistake? What if they don't feel comfortable in my home?" But in the end, I always had good relationships with my guests.
Is there a particular experience with a guest that sticks out in your mind?
It's hard to say- I've had so many pleasant experiences. One of my first guests, a young girl from the United States, still writes to me, and even sent me an invitation to her graduation ceremony. I do remember one man, a birder, who accidentally broke the bathroom sink in the middle of the night. He was so embarrassed! I wasn't upset because, well, these things happen, and he even paid for the repairs. I tried to tell him not to feel bad, but the poor man said he was so embarrassed he didn't think he could show his face in San Ramon again. Maybe he'll read this and change his mind, because I really enjoyed having him in my house.
What's the best part of being a Casa Huesped?
Well, I'll be honest, the extra income for our family economy is a huge benefit. But I wouldn't say that that's the best part. To me it's sharing moments with the visitors – using gestures and facial expressions to make ourselves understood, eating together, laughing together – we find ways to communicate and enjoy each other's company even if we don't speak the same language. It's the direct connection of sharing a living space for a little while that is really a learning experience for the guest and for me. I've made lots of friendships with my guests over the years, and I've learned a lot from them.
Dear reader, we hope you'll take the opportunity to participate in (or lead!) one of our groups to San Ramon. Come meet Doña Marina and the rest of the families of the Casas Huesped, and see for yourself the warmth and hospitality that San Ramon has to offer!
I was received in the home of Richard and Lonna Harkrader, two Board members and founders of Sister Communities. They were very gracious hosts, and made me feel right at home. In fact, all of the Board members and staff in Durham were incredibly warm and open with me, and I realized right away that this all-volunteer Board is comprised of folks who are really committed to improving educational experiences through SCSRN. On the first night of my visit, I had the pleasure of attending the end-of-the-year Board meeting, and was present for the election of our new Board Chair, Mr. John Chase – a man with many years of involvement with the organization, and a strong leader who will be an important element as we move forward in 2015.
My trip was very quick (only 4 days!), but we packed it full of meetings with the different committees within the Board. Some of the big questions that we tried to answer in all these meetings were: How can we make our existing projects more sustainable? How can we improve communication between our San Ramon and U.S. partners? What changes can we make to move away from a needs-based model toward a more capacity-building model? What are our standards for evaluating whether or not a project is successful? These and many other questions helped us to come up with a lot of ideas of how to grow and improve in the new year. (I won't go into too much detail about those ideas here, because many are still in the embryonic stage, but as they mature, I'll keep you posted!)
As I reflect upon my visit to North Carolina and the experience of meeting the Board, I am reminded once again of the intricacies of cross-cultural communication and how difficult it is to run an organization that straddles two different cultures. Effective communication is always tricky – even more so when it is between two groups that have different ways of seeing the world. That said, an elemental part to communication is the commitment to engage, and that's something that SCSRN has on both sides, thankfully.
My trip to North Carolina left me energized and enthusiastic about 2015. Please keep following us here on our blog, on our website, and on Facebook and Twitter to see how this year unfolds for SCSRN!]]>

Lately, we have seen ads and editorials to vote "no" on many, if not all, of the Michigan proposals because they would amend the state Constitution. Maybe we should read the Michigan Constitution.
Unlike the U.S. Constitution, which is about nine pages, the Michigan Constitution is more than 80 pages and covers detailed laws related to such things as the Mackinac Bridge Authority, state Civil Service, the legal drinking age and lotteries. The Constitution is certainly not too precious for policy related to our right for collective bargaining or our energy future.
Article XII gives voters the right to amend the Constitution when legislators fail to act or act contrary to the will of the people. We have done so many times -- for example, in 2004 defining marriage, in 2006 affirmative action, and in 2008 embryonic stem cell research.
In the case of Proposal 2, the people have proposed an amendment to ensure the Legislature does not pass laws contrary to the rights of our citizens. In the case of Proposal 3, the people have proposed an amendment because the Legislature has failed to show a commitment to a clean energy future. These types of amendments are appropriate for the Michigan Constitution, because they show our state is committed to these values for the future.
Constitutional amendments protect our rights and future from the whim and fancy of politicians. In the case of Proposal 2, the Legislature will not have the authority to rescind our bargaining rights or to create a right-to-work state, as has been done in many other states. In the case of Proposal 3, investors will have the confidence to invest in building a clean-energy industry in Michigan, because they will know the changes are not likely to be rescinded by politicians.
Instead of encouraging people to vote "no" because these proposals amend the state Constitution, each voter should make up his or her own mind based on the substantive issues each proposal will address.

Benefits for all
Collective bargaining has been a cornerstone of the middle class since 1935. It gives workers a strong voice in our free democracy.
Collective bargaining helps to ensure safe working conditions, fair wages and benefits, and because of better wages, more money is poured into local businesses.
Collective bargaining benefits all of us, because it leads to better police and fire departments, safer hospitals and better schools.
The ads against Proposal 2 are outrageous and misleading. Lansing politicians have been attacking the middle class for two years.
Enough is enough. Please vote "yes" on Proposal 2.
Linda Anderson
Facts say vote 'yes' on Proposal 2
It was very disturbing to read the stand the Detroit Free Press has taken against Proposal 2. As a future voter, I hope that the citizens of our country will dig deeper into the facts surrounding this proposal before allowing the Free Press to sway their decision.
Without collective bargaining rights, teachers would lose the ability to bargain for resources that are necessary for quality education, professional growth opportunities and lower class sizes. Firefighters and police officers would lose the power to make important life-saving decisions regarding supplies and equipment needed in order to keep our communities safe. Furthermore, without collective bargaining, nurses would lose the power to make important decisions regarding patient care.
I encourage voters to look at the facts and vote "yes" on Proposal 2.
Cooper Smith
Constitutional protections
One complaint often raised about adding amendments to the Michigan Constitution via Proposals 2, 3 and 4 is that the issues do not merit such weighty treatment. Usually we think of amendments like our Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution as being sufficiently meritorious to be adopted.
I believe that Proposal 2, protecting the right of bargaining collectively, should be protected by our Constitution, since employees need a balanced playing field in which to negotiate wages, hours, working conditions, safety in the work place and health insurance.
The Michigan House and Senate used their Republican majorities to slice and dice bargaining issues affecting public employees, adding tremendous cost and insecurity to the hard work of these employees. For example, Michigan's Constitution prevented income tax on educators' pensions, yet the lawmakers ran roughshod over that part of the Constitution and began taxing seniors' pensions.
So this argument that our Constitution is too precious to be altered is nonsense, given the utter disregard shown it by the lawmakers and the governor.
I support the passage of Proposals 2, 3 and 4.
Thomas Donnelly
What's best for students
Collective bargaining is a process that helps to keep both sides of the education process "honest." Administration is required to watch out for the bottom line. Teachers are entrusted to watch out for the welfare of kids. Administration has little impetus to do what's best for learning unless collective bargaining is taking place.

Book Reviews
men connected with each other and the robberies in which they participated is
not clearly delineated.
The chronology of the book covers the years 1933 to 1935 and encompasses
some spectacular episodes of bank robbery and prison escape. For the most part
it concentrates upon the Whitey Walker Gang and the gangsters who comprised
the motley crew, with asides about Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. But the
narrative is incredibly difficult to follow, probably because, as McConal relates,
on occasion there would be a necessity for "rabbit runs." He defines these as
"stories not directly related to the progression of the story, but that add a special
ingredient of atmosphere" (p. 3). The problem is that these asides do not lend
anything significant to the major plot and, in fact, too often muddle the organi-
zation of the book. In brief, Over the Wall has some interesting moments but they
are not consistently sustained. The story is not well told.

Amon: The Texan Who Played Cowboy for America. By Jerry Flemmons. (Lubbock:
Texas Tech University Press, 1998. Pp. xxiv+336. Acknowledgments, fore-
word, introduction, prologue, epilogue, index. ISBN 0-89672-406-9.
$31.95, cloth.)
In the course of a career spanning nearly twenty years in the field of state and
local history, I have read many biographies of figures who through initiative,
business savy, tenacity, and luck managed to amass a fortune and leave an indeli-
ble philanthropic imprint on the places in which they lived. I have never been as
moved by one, however, as I was by Jerry Flemmons's masterful portrait of Fort
Worth legend and Star-Telegram publisher Amon G. Carter. Like its subject,
Flemmons's biography has its flaws, of course. Sources are not provided, and the
chapters are devoted to themes that often appear to serve more as pretexts for
organizing anecdotes, or "Amon Carter stories," than as means of leaving read-
ers with a firm chronology. Nevertheless, the stories are irresistible, making the
whole tale far greater than the sum of its parts and revealing an extraordinary
character whose exuberance and spirit have, for better or worse, come to define,
within the state and without, what it means to be a Texan.
Despite its lack of documentation, Flemmons's writing exudes the authority
and confidence that derives from mastery of one's material. A Fort Worth Star-
Telegram reporter for more than thirty years, Flemmons arrived at the paper in
1963, nearly eight years after Carter's death on June 23, 1955, at the age of sev-
enty-five. Flemmons spent his career writing newspaper articles and books with
humor and insight about Texas and Texans. The anecdotes he delivers in Amon
are therefore not merely the result of oral history research but are instead the
product of a generation of working closely with and listening carefully to those
who knew Amon Carter well, including members of the family. Amon began as a
thesis for a master's degree at East Texas State University and was first published
in 1978. This revised and expanded edition includes new information pertain-
ing to Carter's noteworthy exploits at the 1928 Democratic Convention in Hous-
ton from H. L. Mencken's Thzrty-Five Years of Newspaper Work, published in 1994,
and updates on the disposition of Carter's financial empire and the lives and

If you are considering purchasing a Tablet, there are a couple of things you need to consider. Are you buying for work, play? Quality or price? Performance or Design? I'm not going to tell you that this Tablet is the best for all of these categories. Truth be told, you can find a cheaper tablet for entertainment, and you can probably find a better tablet for work (though it will cost you almost double what the Note 10.1 2014 edition will). But if you want something that does both INCREDIBLY well, then buy the Note. It's screen is sharp and immersive , it's sound quality exceptional, and it runs videos and games without any flaw. There is nothing more you could want when it comes to entertainment. For productivity, it more than gets the job done. I use the Note daily. I take it to every meeting (and unlike I-pad users, I actually USE it at every meeting, for the full time instead of placing it on the table as a status symbol), I use it for church, I answer emails, type papers and memo's, and the list goes on and on. The Note feels great in the hand, and it looks great in the hand as well. It doesn't slip when I hold it without the case, and it is easy to navigate with or without the s-pen. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. The Note is not a cheap tablet. Not in price, or in components, but you are paying for more than a name. You are paying for a product that will last you a long time, and will be with you for anything and everything you need.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone and love it. I'm a bit of a geek - with three decades in computer software and related systems. I was eager to move away from a different manufacturer's tablet to the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. Initially I was quite satisfied with the Note 10.1. The screen is beautiful, and after receiving numerous updates, the performance was smooth. I tried several applications, including video streaming, web browsing, and note-taking. All were within my expectations â€" save one. The deal breaker for me is very poor Bluetooth keyboard support. I intend to replace my existing tablet (which I use at work and home) with the Note 10.1. In order to support work activities, a keyboard is a must for me. I tried several keyboards and all of them suffered the same challenge with the Note 10.1: they would initially connect, then drop the connection every few seconds. These keyboards work fine with other devices, including my previous tablet and the Samsung Galaxy S4. After digging around the Internet, I've found that I'm not alone with this problem. This problem is endemic to the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. If you need to have a dependable Bluetooth keyboard connection, then this is not the tablet for you. I hope that Samsung can provide a fix â€" I'd love to keep this tablet.

Amazing for workflow
By js442
from Undisclosed
This tablet works great for capturing meeting notes, class notes, and research ideas. Being able to draw with the pen is the reason I bought it, and that opens up so many possibilities. I now write emails and notes instead of typing them, which makes it easier for me to remember what I wrote. The handwritten notes are transcribed for me, which makes submitting meeting notes and reports trivially easy. With the tablet you can markup documents and pictures, which makes review, and correction of documents easy as using paper, with all the benefits of being digital. This is the tablet to buy for the price, features, and overall value!
This product doesn't do what it was designed for
By SoDone123
I cant even take notes im class for more than 10 minutes without any note-taking app freezing. Usong S Note is especially bad, I constantly have to vlose and reopen the app amd eventually habe to keep restarting the tablet to completely reset the app to be able to use it again. Note taking was the sole reason I bought a tablet with an integrated stylus and this tablet is a horrible choice if that's what you are.looking for. It has the basic Samsung lagout which is good, but even the features like multi-wimdow are flawed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is it, you don't need anything else to get your cyber needs fulfill. One week before my trip to Central America my two years old Dell laptop, tilted on me. No time and no money to get a replacement, I decided to let my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition do the substitution. And boy that I wasn't ready to have a lesson of in tablet performance, this tablet did everything and more than a laptop. That was two and half years ago and I did replace my old laptop with my Samsung tablet and I never look back again. I write, surf the wed, sketch, jot down quick notes, photo editing, daily journal, read the news, catch a flick at bed, program my dvr... in between other things. I don't miss the heavy and bulky laptop with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition.

Currently working on my poetry documentary VOICES and hoping to finish it this year. This project is close to my heart and have been shooting interviews and more since last October. I just did a radio interview in Ireland on CRY104FM with host Paddy Lane. I talk about my project, music, the poets in VOICES, my poetry books and more.
I'm planning on releasing a new poetry audio collection called "Serenade" in the next month or so. It will have a collection of older and newer poems on it. Looking forward to finishing these exciting projects! Meanwhile you can read the latest review on my newest poetry book CAROUSEL that was released this year.

You can insure a second vehicle on our Defaqto 5 Star rated MultiCar policy. We expect 20% of our customers to achieve the maximum saving of 1/3.*
Please call us if you want to insure more than two and up to five vehicles.
Great reasons to buy Aviva MultiCar insurance
- You can choose different levels of cover and excess, for each vehicle.
- You can cover cars and vans on the same policy.
- Each vehicle's no claim discount is kept separately. So if one vehicle has an accident, the other vehicle's NCD isn't affected.
- Add your second vehicle when it suits you. We can give you a guaranteed quote now even if you'd like to add your second vehicle at a later date. The guaranteed price for your second vehicle is valid if no changes are made to your current quote.
- Uninsured driver promise — If you're hit by an uninsured driver and it wasn't your fault, your no claim discount won't be lost. **
- If your car is not safe to drive, we'll arrange to get you to your destination, and deliver your car to a repairer.***
- Our Defaqto 5 Star Rating provides you with independent expert reassurance about the quality of cover we provide as standard, as well as options to tailor your cover.
Already have a motor policy with us?
- Please call or visit aviva.co.uk/myaviva to add another vehicle.
- If you already insure more than one vehicle with us on separate policies you can transfer to a MultiCar policy if you call us when one of your vehicles comes up for renewal. We can advise on the best option for you. In certain circumstances it may be cheaper to retain separate policies.
* Up to 1/3 off applied to the cheaper of the two vehicle insurance premiums. Discount does not apply to optional extras. Maximum 1/3 discount available on policies with either 1 driver, or 2 drivers who are domestic partners using their vehicles only for social domestic and pleasure.
** You'll need to provide us with details of the other vehicle and driver.
*** Available on comprehensive cover in the UK and Channel Islands only.

Spent 3 days at this well-presented hotel with the expected level of customer service you get in the USA. Friendly staff upon check-in, good rooms and excellent food throughout catering for over 60 of us.
I would say that the lobby bar is a little small to cater for large groups but the staff here are also very good.
The one downside to this trip was the amount of building going on directly outside the hotel - not the fault of the hotel but did make being outside a little noisy!

Latest album reviews
Julio Bashmore – 'Knockin' Boots' album review
As well as New Labour, Jayne Middlemiss and Lynx Africa, the '90s also introduced us to the concept of the Great British Dance Album. These were big, ballsy records that took rave music beyond the underground and gave the nation a soundtrack for a weekend of primo hedonism – from the giddy thrill of punching out of work on Friday to returning, spiritually altered and on an all-consuming comedown, on Monday.
Foals – 'What Went Down' album review
Yannis Philippakis was once the Napoleon Bonaparte of the British indie scene. As frontman for Foals, he was the little guy with big ambitions and the iron will to make them real. But now there's a better parallel. Mocked for years and dismissed as a has-been, he's attracting a new generation of adoring fans. The passion, the sincerity, the love of gardening, the beard – it's all there. Yannis is the indie Jeremy Corbyn.
Years & Years – 'Communion' album review
Years & Years' debut album arrives on a cresting wave of expectation. The London-based trio – singer Olly Alexander, bassist/keyboard player Mikey Goldsworthy and synth whizz Emre Turkmen – reached Number One in March with their irresistible single 'King', and recently attracted such a hefty crowd to their Glastonbury set that fans had to be turned away from the tent. When they topped the BBC's Sound Of 2015 list earlier this year, Alexander noted shrewdly, "We've just got to not muck it up."
The Chemical Brothers – 'Born in the Echoes' album review
Back in the '90s, dance music was different. A lot of the era-defining beats and bleeps were made by artists who considered themselves more musician than DJ, and showcased their sound by releasing full-length albums rather than spinning tunes in a club. Few did this better than the Chemical Brothers: Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, a duo whose psychedelic breakbeats won over countless clubbers and indie kids alike.

I came to Jonathan with a terrible child custody case that 6 lawyers before him could not straighten out for me. In fact, their mistakes further worsened my case. He was my last hope in fighting a highly litigated child custody case in helping to keep my son. He is direct and is not passive/aggressive. He does what is needed to win your case by giving you the best advise and using his cleverness, experience and commanding presence in court. Turned my case around. I don't get what the bad reviews down below are all about. Those people must not have experienced the many terrible lawyers out there. Go with Jonathan and you will see what I mean.

Not professional at all, giving priority to the most profitability cases.
He wasn't there when I most needed him, after a reversal of my case caused by a mistake he made.
I will definitely not recommend his services, if you do, good luck. He couldn't handle a simple divorce. He costed me more than the money that I was fighting to get. Which I never got anyway. Big mistake.

Frosting White-Out with White House Cake
My fellow Americans, I kept my campaign promise: I baked Pumpkin Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting using a recipe the White House press office recently stuffed into our Inboxes.
Should I become your White House pastry chef, I will bring you less frosting on your country's annual Christmas bundt cake!
With the recent failure of a bipartisan Congressional super committee to reach agreement on a way to cut our deficit, we face across-the-board spending cuts in 2013. I would ensure that our nation's pastry kitchen would join in this sacrifice by voluntarily making frosting reductions.
Specifically, in the case of the holiday pumpkin cake, I propose reducing the amount of cream cheese by 4 ounces and cutting the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.
I'd also find some savings in the liquid ingredients. The allotment of fresh-squeezed orange juice would be reduced to 2 or 3 tablespoons, while appropriations for heavy cream would be eliminated entirely. This would address the problem of frosting overruns.
With these changes, I believe we, as a nation of bakers, will achieve greater results with the White House Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese and Orange Frosting. I hope I can count on your vote.
(Try it yourself and let me know what you think!)
