The ASPCA estimates that up to 48% of women stay in abusive situations longer because they fear for the safety and well-being of their pets. Additionally, pets that live in domestic violence situations are 11 times more likely to be abused as well. Unfortunately, because very few domestic violence shelters can accommodate pets, victims face the terrible decision of either leaving their pets in a dangerous environment, or giving up their furry loved ones. Brighter Tomorrows is acutely aware of this gap in domestic violence services and the emotional toll it can take on our clients.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -Police investigator Joao Brito says witnesses told officers that 29-year-old sales manager Rogerio Damascena did not give any previous indication that anything was wrong at his wedding reception.
Brito said Monday that it is likely the slayings were premeditated because of the groom's announcement and because he had
hidden a gun in his father's pickup truck.
Twenty-five-year-old bride Renata Alexandre Costa Coelho and
best man Marcelo Guimaraes were both killed in Saturday's
A brother of the bride was treated at a hospital and released.

Music To Make Your Life Better
Currently working on:
Music to Grieve to...
Get notified when we publish new tracks
We know we're a little "bare" at the moment ;-) We're in the middle of recataloging to make the music easier to find and use. For now, all tracks and albums have been pulled and will be redistributed in new packaging & formats soon.
What Is music2work2
To complete his psychology degree, Andrew studied the effects of sound on human reaction times. The data showed that adding noise to the environment increased performance until it became too distracting and performance started to decline.
This is the idea behind music to work to. If we create music that is stimulating but not too distracting, you can create an auditory environment that is optimized for work.
Social Proof
These are comments from people on YouTube who find that music2work2 helps them focus, work, write a paper, an essay, whatever.
With 2.5 million minutes streamed and thousands of comments like these, it's clear that this music helps people get work done.
Why music2work2?
Because it is long form instrumental music, it stimulates your brain but doesn't mess with your language centers, leaving you free to be creative and brilliant without distraction.
About Us
I don't have a musical bone in my body but I do really enjoy listening to music of all kinds. Growing up, the radio or stereo was always on in my parent's house; my father, sister and brother all had musical abilities. My life with EDS has involved many surgeries and long periods of recuperation; listening to music helped make the time go by and was soothing to me.
Andrew and I first met at EDNF when I was the Director of Local Groups. We worked together to build one of the first patient advocacy online communities and found that regardless of geography, we worked very well together. When Andrew began to develop music to work to, he asked if I would be interested in researching the project. I shared his belief that music is good for you - that music benefits people in so many ways, and was happy to help.
Being involved with music2work2 has opened areas of technology and learning for me that I would never have expected to come to at this late date in my life. I am having a great time learning new skills, listening to new artists and helping to spread beautiful music to people everywhere.
The first visual memory I have is that of the white upright piano in Singapore, Hell and the dark forces lived at the bottom, Heaven and the Angels at the top. They would play battles through my fingers and I was hooked.
Although I've always played, I haven't always been a musician. Most of my twenties were spent working with people, buying and selling and learning how the world works. It was in my thirties that I came to America and focused on music.
music2work2 grew out of the years where I was juggling both music and corporate careers. I would listen to my morning practice sessions while working on strategy documents and lose myself in my work.
I'd attain the place that Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes as a state of flow far faster than if I listened to other artists.
I think music is good for you, and instrumental piano driven music is pretty good stuff to have on when you're working with your mind.
Be More Effective At Work
- Use music to regulate your mood
- music2work2 will calm your mind & help you focus

The Great Lakes Grand Banks (GLGBA) consists of about 100 families who own or admire Grand Banks cruising yachts. Grand Banks has been building yachts for over 50 years, and is recognized as one of the highest quality brands in the "trawler and cruising yacht" category. Each boat is unmistakably a Grand Banks in appearance, but unique in some interior and mechanical features.
Our membership of past, present and future owners of these traditional yachts is united by the quality, dependability and timeless style of these diesel powered vessels. Our members' boats range from 28 to 58 feet in length and from 1 to 43 years in age. Some of our members are just beginning to look for a Grand Banks, while others have owned them for decades.
Non-owners who appreciate timeless quality are also welcome to join us. Our association provides a meeting ground for social and technical interaction which results in a true "family" atmosphere among Grand Banks owners and admirers. We hope this website will encourage you to contact us.
Typically the club organizes two events each year. A cruising rendezvous in usually held in late July or early August and a short land rendezvous held in December in concert with an Officers/Board meeting where everyone is invited to attend.
Our 100 members hail from all corners of the Great Lakes and beyond. Some of our members have moved to coastal areas but maintain their GLGBA memberships to stay in touch with fresh water cruising. Most of our members own Grand Banks, but we have a few members with other lovely cruising yachts. Some of our members are temporarily "between boats".
Here is a look at the geographic distribution of our home ports (not residence):
- On Lake Michigan's West Shore, there are 18 home ports south of Sheboyan, and 8 home ports north of Sheboygan. On the East Shore of Lake Michigan, there are 7 south of Pentwater, and 11 north of Pentwater.
- On Lakes Huron and St. Clair, there are 5 home ports north of Harrisville, and 10 south of Harrisville. The North Channel and Georgian Bay are home to 6 boats.
- Lake Superior boasts 7 GLGBA home ports.
- Lake Erie has 3 GLGBA home ports, and Lake Ontario has one.
- And, there are 12 GLGBA home ports outside the Great Lakes, on rivers and coastal areas.

Fight the Good Fight ISRAEL!
No kidding we have THE ENEMY WITHIN.....GO ISRAEL!!
Why is the choice not Israel and Hamas? Typical stupid Vindicator survey! Designed to try to bias the results.
The Islamic world looks upon 9-11-01 as no big deal. Our responce to 9-11-01 is looked upon as a big deal because of the casualties. Israel is looked upon in the same light. Killing Israelis is no big deal but Israels responce is a big deal. Are they demanding sacrifices of Israeli and American lives to appease their blood lust?
I agree with both red and Stan. Plenty of people harp on Israel for what they do. And they certainly do a lot of underhanded things with our help. But they are in a unique position, surrounded on all sides by populations that largely revile them. Both sides have nationalist/religious elements to blame for years and years of continued, pointless cycles of aggression, reciprocation and brokered peace. I don't believe either side would know what to do with real peace anymore. It's just unfortunate we've involved ourselves in this mire.
Israel is our closest ally for better or for worse.
I am sorry that this had to happen. Hammas are on a hiding to nothing. Whatever Hamas do Israel will retaliate and more innocent civilians will be killed, Hamas will retaliate, Israel will retaliate and the war goes on. It is up to America to take a lead and try to at least to slow this bloodshed down. I just hope our new President has the guts to do it, regardless of the "Jewish Lobby". We need friends in the Arab world, thats where most of the worlds oil come from.
We have oil here but the libs are too scared to drill for it. They are idiots!! Talk about making an economic comeback, drilling would not only product jobs but would rid us of stinking ARAB oil.
Quail, is it possible that we are using more oil today than we were using back in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90,s? What would the price of oil be if we had not drilled in Alaska and the Gulf in the past. How low will oil prices go if we do not drill in the Gulf and instead leave that to the foreign companies that are already drilling there? Need to think a little bit before you make unsubstantiated statements.
I agree to disagree on one point and agree wholeheartedly on what you propose that we need to do.
I say that demand is what drives supply, not the opposite as you stated. Case in point, the resent drop in demand due to the economy has led to OPEC cutting supply in order to shore up the prices.
I agree that we must pursue other sources of energy. There is a place for wind energy, solar,
biodiesel etc. No one fix but certainly all of them have their positive sides. The ethanol thing with corn has proven to be rob Peter to pay Paul. A better source appears to be with sugar beets.
If there is one positive side to the higher energy prices it is that developing these other energy sources starts to become cost effective.
The Dem's have blocked drilling offshore for years and they continue to do so. They love that Arab filthy oil. The prices have always been "contrived" so don't try to tell me anything different.
Lets do it the way that the liberals desire. Cutting the use of hydrocarbons may be the answer. First lets cut the heat to the buildings in Washington DC. Imported sleeping bags from China will keep everyone from freezing. For transportation Chinese bicycles will keep the city moving and warm in the process. Yes we can lower our carbon imprint!

Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on the situation in Gaza
New York, 19 August 2014
The Secretary-General condemns in the strongest terms the breach of the Egyptian brokered humanitarian ceasefire which was to expire at midnight local time. He is gravely disappointed by the return to hostilities.
The Secretary-General reminds both sides of their responsibility not to let the situation escalate. The hopes of the people in Gaza for a better future and the hopes of the people in Israel for sustainable security rest on the talks in Cairo. The Secretary-General calls on the delegations to live up to this expectation and urges the parties to reach an immediate understanding on a durable ceasefire which also addresses the underlying issues afflicting Gaza.

CUSEC Participates in Public Health Preparedness Summit
June 2016 - On June 22-23, 2016 CUSEC participated in the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Illinois Public Health Association (IPHA) 2016 Integrated Public Health and Healthcare System Preparedness Summit. The summit was held in Schaumburg, Illinois with more than 650 public health and healthcare professionals attending. The focus of the summit was improving public health preparedness, response, and recovery to disasters in Illinois.
With funding support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Motorola Solutions Foundation, CUSEC presented in several sessions during the summit. During the opening plenary session, CUSEC gave an overview of central U.S. earthquake hazards, potential impacts from a
New Madrid Seismic Zone earthquake, and lessons learned from past
earthquakes such as the 2011 Christchurch, New Zealand earthquake. On the afternoon of June 22, CUSEC led a breakout session on earthquake mitigation and safety for hospital and healthcare facilities, including ways to identify and reduce losses from future earthquakes according to FEMA's Incremental Seismic Rehabilitation of Hospitals methodology. We also participated in a breakout session with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) Earthquake Program Manager, Jason Williams, on integrated response and recovery following an earthquake or other disaster.
CUSEC would like to thank IDPH and IPHA for inviting us to participate in the conference, which drew near-record participation from public health and healthcare system professionals across Illinois.

I am honored by this opportunity and excited to serve the people of Tennessee," Sheehan said.

Mile Hi-Fidelity recast + playlist - 01.28.09
Another two hours of playing the best hand-picked local music is in the books. Andy and I got all sorts of chatty last night -- I mean, more than usual; seriously we were like a gaggle of grandmas chopping it up in a sewing circle -- which meant that we didn't get to two of the songs we had planned on playing (sorry, Constellations and Kissing Party -- next week, I promise). Fortunately, our guests, three of the guys from Dualistics, were equally as chatty and gave some insight into their new record and what contributed to noted progression of the band's sound. We had planned on having the recast up by now, but there were some difficulties with downloading the recording of the stream for conversion that we're working out right now. With any luck, we'll have it posted later today. In the meantime, as always, the playlist is posted after the jump.
The Swayback - "Waiting for the Man"
The Fluid - "Our Love Will Still Be There"
Light Travels Faster - "Seek and Destroy"
Gamits - "Wholesome Girl"
Yellow Second - "Swingset"
Trampolines - "Seven Ways from Sunday"
Eric Shively - "You Don't Know Me"
Andy Ard - "That's What She Did To Me"
Dan Craig - "Sir Thomas More"
Pil Bug - "Violent Love"

February 21st, 9:13 pm, Elliot Faye Hawkes made her grand entrance into the world. She weighs a healthy 7lbs, 10oz and was 22 inches. Took 3 hours of pushing, but she finally made it. She is absolutely perfect with a full head of thick, dirty blond hair.
They released us both today. DH and I are slightly emotional. They found 2 small holes in her heart. Of course they tell us that and we immediately think the worse, but the pediatrician wasn't overly concern. We are in process of scheduling an appointment with specialists to find out what our next step is. Our hope is that with the holes being as small as they are that they will close up on their own as she grows the next few months and save her any furutre surgery. Has anyone else had any experience with this kind of thing? Everyone keeps telling me not to worry and all that, but it's hard when you have those lovely new mommy hormones running wild.
Anywho, just wanted to spread our good news. If anyone has any advice or personal experience they could pass on, anything would be greatly appreciated
