I recently went back and read that speech and was moved by how Kennedy's words still ring true today.
This past week, my family had the honor of welcoming a houseguest from South Korea named Seong-wook Choi. He is here as part of a Rotary International Group Study Exchange team. The five-member team arrived in Michigan on March 30 with visits planned in Midland, Bay City, Pinconning, Frankenmuth and Saginaw, among other cities.
The team is made up mostly of young business professionals who immerse themselves into American culture for one month before returning home. Team members typically live with host families at each stop on the tour and spend their days taking part in vocational visits at local companies, as well as attending events and simply hanging out with the locals.
The program truly is an "exchange" as a similar group of young Americans currently is in South Korea.
This was the third time my family has hosted a team member from a foreign country. We've also welcomed guests from Thailand and Senegal, who remain as friends to this day. One day, I hope that I am fortunate to visit them again in their countries.
There are many cultural exchange programs and opportunities to interact with people from other parts of the world. The key is to find those opportunities and then take advantage of them.
I believe every American student should take part in some kind of cultural exchange — either as a host or as an outbound visitor to another country — before they graduate from high school. Just imagine what something like that would do for world peace and understanding.
Just this week I learned more about South Korea than I ever knew before, including how our visitors feel about North Korea. I heard traditional South Korean music for the first time in my life; became fascinated with the city of Daejong, which has a population of 1.5 million people and is considered a hotbed for scientific and technological discovery; and was reminded that although we may live on opposite sides of the world, there are threads of common concern and interest that unite all people.
President Kennedy touched on this idea near the end of his remarks on that day in 1963, saying to those in attendance visiting from other countries: "… When you go home you will not be a friend of the United States but rather a friend of peace, a friend of all people; that you will desire to see good will among all nations."
Fifty years later, as I look at the giant peace sign that hangs on the front door of my home, I hope many others have an opportunity to experience what I have through cultural exchanges.
If they do, then peace truly does have a chance.

Asked by: megan 1921 views YA Discussion
There is an ongoing debate in my 'office pool' regarding the lottery.
If we were to win and took a lump sum; at the end of the year, would we have to claim money won as income when we filed our taxes, even though we already paid taxes when we won?

Dr. David Allison
CORNERŌĆłBROOK Predicting just how the influenza season will go is something that Dr. David Allison said is difficult to do.
ItŌĆÖs for that reason that health authorities around the province and the Department of Health and Community Services put a lot of effort in following the flu not just locally, but across the country.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre watching for outbreaks in various areas, particularly nursing homes or closed settings, and obviously weŌĆÖre watching the availability of vaccine,ŌĆØ said Allison, medical officer of health for Eastern Health and acting medical officer of health for Western Health, on Friday afternoon.
Just after speaking with Allison the Department of Health issued a press release to advise it was once again expanding its vaccination program.
As of Monday influenza vaccinations will be available to anyone who wants to receive one. The department has acquired an additional 13,000 does of vaccine, that includes both an injectable form and the FluMist nasal spray.
Approximately 140,000 Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have already been vaccinated. Just this past week about 940 people in the western region took advantage of vaccination clinics in a number of communities.
ŌĆ£I think part of it is the hype that goes along with the media stories about influenza,ŌĆØ said Allison of the reason people are just now choosing to get vaccinated.
Allison said as the province moves into the middle of its expected influenza season health officials are seeing cases of both influenza A and B. He said influenza A tends to be the predominant strain, but noted the incidents of influenza B are mostly being seen in western and central Newfoundland.
This mix of the viruses is not unexpected and Allison said the vaccine provided to people carries protection against two influenza A viruses and one influenza B virus.
And while the predominant strain of influenza A is H1N1, Allison said people shouldnŌĆÖt be scared.
An H1N1 pandemic hit the province in 2009-2010 and back then Allison said it was a relatively unknown virus type.
ŌĆ£Now itŌĆÖs been around for that number of years. ItŌĆÖs been a part of the vaccine program for a number of years and broadly speaking itŌĆÖs part of the seasonal flu. We expect that this would be around.ŌĆØ
Allison said the number of cases of the flu being tracked by the province this year are about on average for a typical flu season.
As of Friday the Department of Health reported 260 laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza. Statistics also show there have been 51 hospitalizations, 15 admissions to intensive care, and three confirmed deaths. The most recent death was in a person in their 70s with an underlying illness. Of the individuals hospitalized, 27 have already been discharged.
During the same period last year there were 453 cases of influenza, 150 hospitalizations, 17 admissions to intensive care and nine deaths.
Allison said last year H3N2 was the predominant strain. ŌĆ£And it affected people a lot earlier and in larger numbers than the strain weŌĆÖre seeing this year.ŌĆØ
Western Health is advising people interested in getting vaccinated to call their local public health nursing office or family doctor office.
In addition to that the health authority will be holding walk-in vaccination clinics on Monday in Corner Brook at the Salvation Army, 1 Citadel Dr., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and in Port Saunders at the public health nursing office in the Rufus Guinchard Health Centre, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Three Cs to prevent the spread of influenza:
ŌĆö Clean and wash your hands
ŌĆö Cover coughs and sneezes
ŌĆö Contain your illness by staying home

EUGENE -- Garrett Sim is at home, and not just because the Portland native will be playing in today's Pape Jam at the Rose Garden.
Sim has found a home in Eugene and at point guard for the Oregon Ducks. The freshman's rapid acclimation to college basketball comes as a surprise to many, but not to those who have seen him grow and, most important, not to himself.
While the focus this season has been on the largest part of a large freshman class, namely center Michael Dunigan, Sim has grown quickly into the most important position on the team -- the key word being "grown."
The last time Sim was a freshman, four years ago at Sunset High School, he was 5-foot-6 and barely cracked 100 pounds. Now, he's 6-1 and 175 pounds, and all those fundamentals he had to learn as a small guy in a big guy's sport are paying off.
"Some of those guys, they grew early so they had a lot more advantages," Sim said. "It was a good thing I was a late bloomer. It made it easy when I was finally the same size as everyone."
Sim will make his seventh consecutive start when Oregon (4-4) plays San Diego (4-5) at 5p.m. today at the Rose Garden. He ranks third on the team in minutes (24.0 per game) and scoring (11.5 points), and his 3.1 assists lead the Ducks.
He has made 16 of 34 three-point shots (47.1 percent), and his 5 of 6 performance from behind the arc (10 of 14 overall) in a 28-point night against Utah solidified his status as a scorer as well as a playmaker. He had six assists without turning the ball over against top-ranked North Carolina, impressing the coaches with his court awareness.
"The game, I can just see it now," Sim said. "I know the offense, and I'm just playing basketball now. I'm a little surprised at how fast it's slowed down for me."
To learn how the game could slow down like that, let's rewind -- back to when Sim was in fourth grade. It was a powerhouse team of grade schoolers that featured Sim, Clay Thompson (son of former Blazer Mychal Thompson, now at Washington State), former Westview guard Terrell Wallace and others.
Sim played as a left-hander until he realized he couldn't get the ball to the basket when he tried a three-pointer. So his father, former Oregon State football player Tim Sim, had him switch to his natural right hand but insisted he be able to shoot layups with his left.
In sixth grade, he joined Sunset's Metro junior team, a select feeder team for kids in the Sunset area, where he was coached by Aaron Stuckey, who was on Sunset's staff for all four of Sim's high school years. For seven years, Sim and Stuckey continually worked on his weaknesses.
"What do you say to a seventh-grader after a 30-point, 10-assist game?" Stuckey said. "Most kids want to hear about how well they played. He always wanted to talk about the things he needed to do to get better."
So at an early age, Sim was exposed to, and challenged by, equal and greater talent. He learned to play with both hands (at one time, during games, he would shoot free throws alternately with his left hand and right hand, and few would notice), and he was constantly surrounded by coaches who wanted him to take the next step.
Sim originally committed to play for California. But when coach Ben Braun was let go, Sim became available again, and coach Ernie Kent snatched him up.
It was a key move. Sophomore point guard Kamyron Brown still shows flashes of brilliance but has battled inconsistency. And junior Tajuan Porter has benefited from Sim's rise.
As he did as a freshman playing alongside Aaron Brooks, Porter is in a comfort zone at shooting guard, and it has become a mutually beneficial backcourt.
"Everyone's focusing on Tajuan now, so I'm getting a lot of open looks," Sim said.
Kent is pleased with Sim's play, but with the usual cautious optimism.
"He's played well, as of late," Kent said. "He's still a freshman, which means he's going to have highs and lows, but the good thing about him is he stays even-keel. His demeanor never changes. I think that's the thing that has allowed him to have success early on, that composure and poise he has about himself."
Kent compared him to another former point guard, Luke Ridnour.
"Luke more flash, Luke more of a gym rat, Garrett bigger, Garrett calmer," Kent said. "They're both players, they both like to play when the bright lights come on."
The lights shine brighter at the Rose Garden than at any other stop for the Ducks. Many fans will be wondering who this Sim guy is and how he got to be a starting point guard. Many who know him will know he was bound to grow into it.
Notes:The cheaper seats are even cheaper for the Pape Jam: The $18 and $10 tickets are going for half-price. Those can be bought at the Rose Quarter Box Office, online at RoseQuarter.com, by phone at 877-789-7673 and at Safeway/Tickets West locations. In the other half of the Jam, the Oregon women (3-3) play Georgia Tech (7-2) at 2:30 p.m. ... Dunigan (hyperextended elbow) is expected to start for the Ducks men, and Joevan Catron (sprained ankle) will be a game-time decision.

Unfortunately the Louisiana Bayou Angels spoiled their aspirations.
Flint fell to Louisiana 78-70 in the opening round of the WBCBL national tournament at Oglethorpe University in "Hotlanta" this past Saturday.
The Rock County Robins would eventually win their second consecutive title on Sunday after defeating the Orlando Extreme 85-73.
Latisha Luckett and Nan Moore, a native of Atlanta, both tied for a team-high 18 points for the Monarchs.
Luckett also dished out five assists while Moore grabbed seven rebounds and handed out four dimes.
Several of Moore's relatives — who still live in the Atlanta — as well as other Monarchs fans helped pack the stands to cheer on their favorite semi-pro women's hoops team but the Monarchs obviously weren't pleased with the turnout of the contest.
"I just think we faced a really good team and we didn't do all of the necessary things to win the game," Monarchs head coach Deonta McChester said. "A lot of things played a factor but it was a good game and they had some really talented girls. We was prepared but we let a lot of other factors influence us."
Natasha Morris chipped in all 12 of her buckets in the second half for Flint despite getting stitches in her chin following a nasty fall early in the game.
Tamarah Riley tallied 8 points and six boards while Kaihla Szunko added four points, nine rebounds and three blocks.
The Monarchs (13-3) entered the dual as the No. 2 ranked team. Louisiana was rated No. 3.
The tournament was originally scheduled to be a double elimination, meaning teams would have to lose at least two games before their run ended, but was changed at the last minute to a single-game elimination series.
The Bayou Angels led by as many as 15 points in the battle.
"This team never gave up and they fought to the end and competed to the end but things just wasn't on our side that day," said McChester. "I think the Monarchs had a great season and we're headed in the right direction.
"We were disappointed to not win the WBCBL national championship but we know the Monarchs will return to battle for a title next season," Monarchs president and general manager Dreyon Wynn said in a press release. "These women and coaching staff should be commended for their efforts and performance on this season. I can guarantee you will see a much wiser and stronger team in 2012."

The camp season has finally arrived! Today we share some strategies to help camp staff provide a welcoming environment for campers with sensory processing differences.
1. For campers who are sensitive to the harsh glare of the sunlight, make sure that baseball caps, visors and sunglasses are available for them to use if needed. Weighted baseball caps (used only under supervision of a licensed occupational therapist) may be a particularly useful tool for certain children.
2. Some campers with attention issues benefit from carrying an appropriately sized backpack with some items in it during transitions, to provide a little 'weight' (but no more than 5% of their body weight). During activities that require sitting, the camper can keep the backpack on their lap which may be calming.
3. Having a quiet decompression space available for a child who needs break from stimulation, in order to then return to the group, can be very useful for any camp setting.
4. Consider keeping spare headphones or earbuds available for when things get a little too loud - some kids are very sensitive to noise which may include group singing (even if they like it!).
5. Appreciate the possibility of built-in opportunities, such as swimming or swinging on a swingset, to provide a dose of much needed regulation to an overstimulated child. Don't underestimate the power of water and snacks to do the same. Children who are hungry or thirsty don't tend to listen to reason.
6. Some kids love to dive head first into a vat of shaving cream, a bin of rice and beans etc. Other kids can only handle so much "mess" before they become overstimulated, wired or tearful. Respect these differences.
7. Make sure to slow down and repeat directions, and give adequate processing time. This is especially important when any second language is being introduced in an immersion program.
8. Children on the autism spectrum often benefit from having a daily schedule or a routine that they can understand and prepare for. Just as we all need to communicate with each other about which activity is coming next, so do our campers!
9. Camp is full of opportunities to learn new motor patterns and activities for the first time. Be sensitive to the need to break down into small steps, slow down the verbal explanations, and create a model (in arts and crafts).
10. Be flexible and realistic about the amount of time a child will be able to participate in an activity. A child who cannot focus for more than 10 minutes, cannot focus for more than 10 minutes. To believe otherwise will likely ensure a meltdown. Some kids may need to stand up and move, hold a squeeze toy, etc. in order to process the same information that their peers are taking in while seated.

Notre Dame is one lucky football team. The Fighting Irish are three fumbles from being 0-2. If San Diego State and Michigan had held on to the football, the Irish would have lost their first two games at home to start the season.
Instead, they stand at 2-0 and, based on the postgame media accounts of their win against the Wolverines, you would think championship ghosts are galloping again in South Bend and Charlie Weis is a modern-day Knute Rockne.
Talk of Notre Dame's triumphant return to football glory is insane. This program has searched to regain its national identity since it ran Lou Holtz off.
Notre Dame football lives off its name only -- with no big wins of note from the past three coaches. The Irish should be in the running for national championships every year. This year's team is a fraud with a soft schedule and bad offense. Overrated is the right word for this year's team.
Quarterback stats tell story
When Michigan quarterback Steven Threet has more passing yards than Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen, that should tell you something.
Clausen is a below-average quarterback at best with a head coach who is trying to run a pro football team in a college town. Someone had better warn the Irish nation that their team is not as good as its 2-0 record. Media accounts of Saturday's game make it seem like Notre Dame is a national power once again.
San Diego State had more yardage and did everything but win. Michigan had a quarterback making the first road start of his career and an offense loaded with true freshmen, and still posted better numbers than the Notre Dame offense.
The Michigan defense allowed only 260 yards, and outside one long Clausen touchdown toss played a great game in bad weather.
Take away the turnovers and an inexperienced bunch of maize-and-blue football newbies, and Michigan wins by 14 points.
Officials fumbled more than the Michigan special teams Saturday. I have never seen a crew that bad. But you can't just blame the officials for this loss, as Michigan never was in this game from the start.
The Wolverines fumbled the opening kickoff but still found a way to stay alive until Kevin Grady's fumble inside the Notre Dame 5-yard line in the second half. Scoring there would have made it a four-point game, but instead seemed to sober us up to the reality of an ugly loss to an overrated team.
Michigan making inroads
Even with bad weather, bad hands and bad officials, Michigan still found a way to make this a game on the road. This tells me Rich Rodriguez and his staff know what they are doing.
"Close," "maybe" and "what if" seem to be words surrounding Michigan football through the first three games this season. Some seem to think Michigan has lost all its football credibility through three games. I thought Michigan was in much worse shape after three games last year at this time than it is today, based on expectations. Maybe I'm the only guy who sees Rodriguez starting to make the Michigan offense spread the field.
I actually see where he is trying to take this team. I thought the offense in the rain was spectacular at times. When a true freshman is your leading rusher and two true freshmen are your leading pass catchers in their first road game, I see the Michigan tailgate cup half full.
Michigan football is not dead. This is the next generation, and hitting the restart button on offense is a lot tougher than anyone ever envisioned. If you look at the Notre Dame game minus the turnovers, you see what Michigan could be in two years -- an offense that no one in America will stop, home or away.

The Social Security Administration bars judges from using Facebook when deciding disability claims.
The Social Security Administration last month told its disability-claims judges they are no longer to seek out information from websites when deciding cases — taking away a tool some of those judges say would help in uncovering fraud.
Agency officials said reviewers can't trust information posted online, and also said the mere act of typing in queries could compromise protected private information, so they shouldn't try to access anything.
Social Security's ban covers all Internet sites, including social media such as Facebook.
When private insurance companies investigate suspected false disability claims they, among other tactics, hire private detectives to follow the claimant around and film his daily activities. Not surprisingly, they come up with video's of "cripples" reroofing their homes, crawling under their cars to perform repair work, and so on. But an insurance company is protecting the money of its owners while no one "owns" government money once it's been seized from the poor sap who earned it so it flows out unimpeded. Witness the 93% disability rate for retired Long Island Rail Road employees and now, the Obama administration's sabotage of investigations. Disability recipients are the fastest growing segment of Social Security payees and Obama is working hard to grow it faster. Julia is waiting for her check!

Turning the corner with precision, the Bishop McDevitt offense appears ready to rival the Bishop McDevitt defense in terms of on-field production.
Dominant on both sides of the ball Friday night at West Shore Stadium, the Crusaders smoked Cedar Cliff 49-14 in a Mid-Penn Keystone showdown most expected to be much more competitive.
Quarterback Alec Werner threw for 280 yards in the first half, tossing touchdowns to three different receivers, and emerging sophomore tailback Rashad Lawson raced for three scores and the majority of his 200 rushing yards in the second half for McDevitt (4-2, 3-0).

A week after blanking rival Red Land, the host Colts (4-2, 1-2) surrendered 550 yards of offense and were limited to -13 yards on the ground.
"We're getting better every week," Crusaders head coach Jeff Weachter said of a team that replaced an all-state QB and an all-state running back in the offseason.
"Guys are improving. Our practices are better. Guys were goofing off earlier in the season, but now everybody is just getting better."
Said Cedar Cliff head coach Jim Cantafio: "The difference is that was a much better team. We weren't playing Red Land. We can't match up with McDevitt. They're bigger, faster, stronger, more athletic. They were better than us in every aspect."
McDevitt scored on four of its first five offensive possessions, relying heavily on Werner and the passing game as it raced to a 28-0 halftime lead.
Lawson roared behind an improving offensive line in the second half, totaling 172 of his career-high 200 yards. The last of his three touchdowns prompted the mercy-rule clock with 6:24 left in the game.
"We wanted to get out to a good start because that's a pretty good team over there," said Werner, a junior who finished 12-for-17 for 286 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.
"We have a lot of weapons, and coach Weach did a great job calling plays."
Werner's 13-yard TD pass to Brian Lemelle capped a five-play, 63-yard opening drive.
In the second quarter he hooked up with classmate Nate Showalter for 45 yards and freshman Andre Robinson on a 58-yard catch-and-run.
The Colts' offense, meanwhile, couldn't muster much movement after a promising opening drive — helped by a number of McDevitt penalties — fizzled out.
Quarterback Tyler Orris and running back DeShaun Woodson, who each eclipsed the 100-yard rushing plateau last week, combined for -2 yards on 14 carries against the Crusaders' brutally good front of linemen Noah Spence, Mike Perloski and DeAndre Lawson, plus linebackers Brock Dean, Nate Monroe, Tariq Spence and Allen Holman.
"We know our defense is really good," said Lawson the running back, "that if we got up early the D would help us out. They shut them down, and we got the win."
Cedar Cliff managed a couple of scores in the third quarter: a 40-yard interception return by Xavier Baney and a 18-yard TD pass from Orris to tight end Adam Breneman.
Breneman finished with 108 yards on eight catches, while Robinson paced the Crusaders with 111 yards on three catches.

Maui sales of condos strongest in 5 years
Condominium sales on Maui hit a five-year high for February, reflecting a generally brightening real estate market, according to a report by the Realtors Association of Maui.
A total of 100 condos were sold last month, compared to 62 in January and 83 the same month last year, the report out this week showed. This year's February sales are the best for the month in the last five years, topping the 98 sales in 2011.
The median price, with half the prices higher and half lower, rose 27 percent year over year in February to $364,950 and was 25 percent higher than January's $292,000. That price was still lower than the five-year high of $692,500 in 2009.
Sales of single-family homes, 65, was up slightly from the 63 sales last month, but down 17 percent from the 78 sold last February.
The median price for February for residential homes was $550,000, the same as January and up 7 percent year over year. The February median price was the highest for the month since $624,391 in 2008.
Looking at data by region, the largest number of residential sales was in Central Maui, 15, but the median price of $365,000 was down 19 percent from $449,000 in January and down slightly from last February's $372,000.
Other regions fared better. There were 12 residential sales in Kihei in February with a median sales price of $510,000, up 14 percent year over year, and 10 sales in Pukalani with a median sale price of $454,500, up 17 percent from February 2012.
There also were five sales in Haiku with a median sales price of $600,000; and four sales each in Kula/Ulupalakua/Kanaio, $727,500, and Lahaina, $505,000.
For condos, Kihei led the way with 35 sales, 10 more than in January and one less than last February. The median sales price was $340,000, a 43 percent increase year over year.
Other areas with higher volume were Napili/Kahana/Honokowai, 16 sales, median $330,000, up 20 percent from last February; Central Maui, 13 units, $217,000, a more than doubling of the price from last year; Kaanapali, 12 sales, $498,500, up 6 percent from last year; and Wailea/Makena, 11 sales, $815,000, up 23 percent from last year.
Real estate owned and short sale properties are a smaller share of the market, compared to a year ago. In the past year, REOs represented 31.8 percent of residential sales, down from 43.4 percent in last year's February report, and 18.9 percent of condo sales, down from 33.5 percent last year
There were 12 land sales in February with a median sales price of $575,000.

Van Sykes thinks so, too.
And on Saturday, May 22, Sykes will host the first Bob Sykes Bar-B-Q and Blues Festival at Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park in McCalla.
"I've never done anything like this in my life," Sykes says. "I kind of stumbled onto something that I really think is good for the area and good for blues music and, hopefully, good for barbecue business.
Sykes, whose late father started Bob Sykes Bar-B-Q in Bessemer in 1957, opened a second location at Tannehill this past fall.
The all-day blues festival will take place on Farley Field, site of the monthly Tannehill Trade Days.
The lineup features:
- Kenny Brown, slide guitarist from Potts Camp, Miss., who was featured in the movie "Black Snake Moan."
- Alvin Youngblood Hart, Grammy-winning guitarist featured in Martin Scorsese's "The Blues."
- Kent Burnside and the New Generation, also known as the "King of Cotton Field Disco."
- Duwayne Burnside, guitarist and son of the late Mississippi blues legend R.L. Burnside.
Other performers include Little G Weevil, the Deja Voodoo Band and 2Blu.
Advance tickets are available for $12 at both locations of Bob Sykes Bar-B-Q. Admission will be $15 the day of the event, and free to those 12 and under. Entry to the park itself is another $3 per person.

Joel Zumaya. It's been a long time.
Before I give five reasons why it's going to blow up in the Twins face, let's look at a couple reasons why it's a good move for the Twins:
- Zumaya's contract has only $400,000 guaranteed. If Zumaya makes the club out of spring training, he'll bump that up to $800,000. Zumaya can make up to $1.8 million in incentives this upcoming season. What does this all mean? This is a low risk/high reward deal for the Twins.
- Zumaya can throw the ball really fast, he's been gunned at 104 MPH. He was recently clocked at 92-94 mph on the radar gun in a bullpen session. He hopes to be up to 100 MPH soon. Not exactly the Twins typical pitch-to-contact pitcher.
- Zumaya is only 27. If this works out, the Twins have a youngish arm in their rebuilding bullpen.
The big knock on Zumaya is the fact that he can't stay healthy…I'd say so.

Voting unanimously today, the board approved a resolution to pay a $200,000 option fee to obtain exclusive rights to negotiate for the more than 200,000-square-foot facility that opened in 2002.
The building, which went on the market in January, would become part of Bishop State Community College's campus if the board approves a final purchase agreement.
"It's a wonderful opportunity for us to get a great facility at a good price and be a physical part of downtown Mobile," said school board member Tracy Roberts of Spanish Fort.
"It will serve the needs of the college in terms of space and growth."
Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education staff attorney Jeffrey Miller said the option gives the college 60 days to negotiate a final deal and conduct due diligence on the proposal, meaning the board must approve a final agreement in October to acquire the building.
Bishop State President James Lowe said the community college would relocate its science and allied health programs to the 12-acre campus if the acquisition is successful.
Those programs are currently housed in a former high school built in 1923 and donated to the college in 1991 by the Mobile Board of Education.
Alabama Community College System Chancellor Mark Heinrich said the proposed purchase comes as Bishop State was already looking to expand its facilities with new construction.
Preliminary assessments show converting the Press-Register building is a more cost-effective option, he said. The 60-day option will give Bishop State time to ensure the purchase is the best option, he said.As part of the proposed deal, Miller said Bishop State would lease back the area occupied by the printing press inside the North Water Street facility, providing revenue that would help Bishop State repay the anticipated debt.
Alabama Media Group and Advance Central Services Alabama announced plans in January to sell the facility, as well as The Birmingham News building, in order to find space more suitable for the companies' new digitally focused operations.
The companies operate AL.com and GulfLive.com, publish the Press-Register, The Mississippi Press, The Birmingham News and The Huntsville Times.
Lowe told the board the acquisition would improve educational opportunities for students as Bishop State looks to expand its enrollment from 5,000 to as much as 7,000 within the next two or three years.
Miller said the $200,000 option fee would go toward the cost of the
building if the acquisition is successful and would be refunded if the
school board decides not to purchase the building, as long Bishop State
does not default on any obligations during the final negotiations.

That was a proud day for the village named after Marcus Firius Camillus, a soldier and statesman in ancient Rome. Camillus once dealt with Rome's financial problems through imposing heavy taxes on his subjects.
Taxes are at the heart of a new initiative to dissolve the village. But there are multiple reasons for the village to join forces with the surrounding town. And it won't even have to give up its name.
The town of Camillus has a clerk, water and sewer services, receiver of taxes, a highway department, parks and recreation and a town court. Town Supervisor Mary Ann Coogan says serving the 1,200 people in the village that covers 0.37 square miles wouldn't have much of an effect on the town budget. The town police force already covers the village. Plus, the state offers a powerful incentive: Camillus could receive as much as $1 million a year under the Citizen Empowerment Tax Credit, which aims to help cover consolidation costs and ongoing added expenditures.
Camillus is the only one of Onondaga County's 15 villages to accept Comptroller Robert E. Antonacci's offer to study consolidation. Antonacci predicts after consolidation, village residents would see little or no change in the delivery of services, and could save an average of $77 each year on their taxes. Add in the state grant, and the tax benefit could double.
The flip side is grim. Keeping things the way they are could result in increased fees for garbage pickups and fewer road repairs, says Anne Clancy of the village board. Village-sponsored events like sidewalk sales and Christmas celebrations might go away.
Clancy and village Mayor Michael Montero favor consolidation, nodding to compelling outside forces. The county's revised sales tax formula no longer benefits villages, state aid is down, and a new property tax cap limits annual increases to 2 percent. The current budget doesn't even cover village expenses, Clancy says.
Of course, the village could sidestep the new tax cap with a 60 percent vote from village residents. Some might go along with bigger tax bills to keep their historic village intact. But like their forebears, other village residents have expressed their views in a petition: 108 of them have asked for a public vote on dissolution. If the board goes along, public hearings and a vote would be scheduled.
The village of Camillus has a long history. But so does Seneca Falls, which will become part of its surrounding town Jan. 1. Nothing will change the past, but joining forces to preserve services and save money can result in an even brighter future.

Know Your Food - Spirulina
Spirulina Benefits & Information
Spirulina Benefits
Spirulina is a simple one-celled microscopic blue-green algae with the scientific name Arthrospira platensis. Under a microscope, spirulina appears as long, thin, blue-green spiral threads. The odor and taste of spirulina is similar to seaweed.
Spirulina can be found in many freshwater environments, including ponds, lakes, and rivers. It thrives best under pesticide-free conditions with plenty of sunlight and moderate temperature levels, but it is also highly adaptable, surviving even in extreme conditions. More than 25,000 species of algae live everywhere - in water, in soils, on rocks, on plants. They range in size from a single cell to giant kelp over 150 feet long. Macroalgae are large like seaweeds. Microalgae are microscopic. Ocean microalgae, called phytoplankton, are the base of the ocean food web. Spirulina is often deemed the most nutritionally complete of all food supplements, containing a rich supply of many important nutrients, including protein, complex carbohydrates, iron, and vitamins A, K, and B complex. It also has a high supply of carotenoids such as beta carotene and yellow xanthophylls which have antioxidant properties. It is also rich in chlorophyll, fatty and nucleic acids, and lipids. Thus, spirulina has countless uses as a supplement for maintaining good health and for preventing diseases.
Spirulina is the richest beta carotene food, with a full spectrum of ten mixed carotenoids. About half are orange carotenes: alpha, beta and gamma and half are yellow xanthophylls. They work synergistically at different sites in our body to enhance antioxidant protection. Twenty years of research proves eating beta carotene rich fruits and vegetables gives us real anti-cancer protection. Synthetic beta carotene has not always shown these benefits. Research in Israel showed natural beta carotene from algae was far more effective. Natural is better assimilated and contains the key 9-cis isomer, lacking in synthetic. As suspected, natural carotenoids in algae and vegetables have the most antioxidant and anti-cancer power.
Spirulina is an ideal anti-aging food; concentrated nutrient value, easily digested and loaded with antioxidants. Beta carotene is good for healthy eyes and vision. Spirulina beta carotene is ten times more concentrated than carrots.
Iron is essential to build a strong system, yet is the most common mineral deficiency. Spirulina is rich in iron, magnesium and trace minerals, and is easier to absorb than iron supplements.
Spirulina is the highest source of B-12, essential for healthy nerves and tissue, especially for vegetarians.
Healthy Dieting with Spirulina
About 60% of spirulinas dry weight is protein, which is essential for growth and cell regeneration. It is a good replacement for fatty and cholesterol-rich meat and dairy products in ones diet. Every 10 grams of spirulina can supply up to 70% of the minimum daily requirements for iron, and about three to four times of minimum daily requirements for vitamins A (in the form of beta carotene), B complex, D,and K. By itself, it does not contain vitamin C, but it helps maintain this vitamins potency.
Spirulina is rich in gamma-linolenic acid or GLA, a compound found in breast milk that helps develop healthier babies. Moreover, with its high digestibility, spirulina has been proven to fight malnutrition in impoverished communities by helping the body absorb nutrients when it has lost its ability to absorb normal forms of food.
Another health benefit of spirulina is that it stimulates beneficial flora like lactobacillus and bifidobacteria in your digestive tract to promote healthy digestion and proper bowel function. It acts as a natural cleanser by eliminating mercury and other deadly toxins commonly ingested by the body.
Spirulina also increases stamina and immunity levels in athletes, and its high protein content helps build muscle mass. At the same time, it can curb hunger that may develop during the most demanding training routines. Thus, it indirectly acts as an effective way to maintain an athletes ideal body weight.
The Disease Fighter
As well as beta carotene, Spirulina contains other nutrients such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper, selenium, and chromium. These nutrients help fight free radicals, cell-damaging molecules absorbed by the body through pollution, poor diet, injury, or stress. By removing free radicals, the nutrients help the immune system fight cancer and cellular degeneration. In some findings, spirulina has helped reduce oral cancer tumors in laboratory rats, and may thus provide a big medical breakthrough in cancer treatment.
Spirulinas ability to reduce the bad cholesterol LDL in the body helps prevent the onset of cardiovascular diseases, such as hardening of the arteries and strokes. It also helps lower blood pressure. While not clinically proven, spirulina may also protect against allergic reactions and liver infection.
Research confirms Spirulina promotes digestion and bowel function. It suppresses bad bacteria like e-coli and Candida yeast and stimulates beneficial flora like lactobacillus and bifidobacteria. Healthy flora is the foundation of good health and it increases absorption of nutrients from the foods we eat, and helps protect against infection. Spirulina builds healthy lactobacillus, aiding assimilation and elimination and relieving constipation.
Removing Toxins
In 1994, a Russian Patent was awarded for spirulina as a medical food to reduce allergic reactions from radiation sickness. 270 Children of Chernobyl consuming 5 grams a day for 45 days (donated by Earthrise Farms), lowered radionucleides by 50%, and normalized allergic sensitivities. Today we are subject to an onslaught of toxic chemicals in our air, water, food and drugs. Our bodies need to continually eliminate these accumulated toxins. Spirulina has a completely unique combination of phytonutrients - including chlorophyll, phycocyanin and polysaccharides, that can help cleanse our bodies.
How to Take Spirulina
Spirulina is now commercially available in tablet or powder form. Some health tonics contain spirulina as part of their ingredients. A simple daily regimen for spirulina involves taking a 500 mg tablet four to six times daily.
Sources for these forms of spirulina are normally laboratory-grown. Harvesting spirulina from more natural settings has posed a challenge because of possible contamination from toxic substances that cannot be removed from the product. Hopefully, more eco-friendly and safer ways to cultivate the algae can eventually be developed and perfected."Do not misuse your time while following your heart, for it is offensive to the soul to waste one's time." ~ Ptahhotep
"A man's mind is elevated to the status of the women he associates with." ~ Alexandre Dumas
"If another people rest on your ignorance--and they do--they will educate you into ignorance."- Dr. Amos Wilson

Summit Entertainment, the film studio behind the majorly successful "Twilight Saga" films, announced yesterday that the final installment in the series will be broken up into two films.
There have been rumors that "Breaking Dawn," the fourth book in the "Twilight" series by Stephanie Meyers, would be spit into two movies for months now.
As "Twilight" blogger Connie Barr-Martinez pointed out in January, plenty of fans were rooting for this arrangement. The prevailing opinion has been that "Breaking Dawn" simply has too much plot for one film.
Author Stephanie Meyer also shared that opinion.
"My personal feeling is that it would be very difficult to cram the whole story into one movie (as I've said in many interviews previous to this)," she said on her Web site on January 12. "But if a great way of doing that surfaces, I'm all for it."
It looks like the film producers are inclined to agree with Meyers after all.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the first installment of "Breaking Dawn" will be released Nov. 18, 2011 and the second part will come the following year. No release date is set for that film.
The third installment of the "Twilight" saga, "Eclipse," will be released nationwide June 30, but you can catch it early, on June 29, by attending the "Eclipsing MD" premiere and gala in Grand Rapids.

Twitter's new Vine app now displays this frown if you search for what it considers inappropriate conent. Michael del Castillo
Twitter has given the sad-face of disapproval to searchers of pornographic hash-tags on its new Vine app.
As recently as yesterday, adult content was still reportedly available using hashtags like #Porn, but after the backlash that's followed, it looks like the content has been completely blocked. Considering a 2010 study that found 13 percent of all web searches are "erotic," that decision will leave a mark.
The flap over Twitter and pornography has been a bit of a whirlwind, forcing the San Francisco micro-blogging pioneer into defensive mode when it no doubt hoped to be riding a wave of positive buzz about Vine. So, how did we get here? It took 8 simple steps.
Michael del Castillo is the technology and innovation reporter at Upstart Business Journal, a member of American City Business Journals. A graduate of Columbia University, his work has appeared in the New Yorker. He is also the cofounder of Literary Manhattan, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Manhattan's literary community and creating new ways to appreciate literature.

Skip to comments.George Will: Were at the horrid stage with Newt Gingrich [VIDEO]
Posted on 01/29/2012 9:22:37 AM PST by maggief
I dont know if you have ever told Longfellows nursery rhyme to your 4-year-old daughter, Alice, Will said to Tapper, reciting:
There is a little girl Who had a little curl Right in the middle of her forehead, When she was good, She was very good indeed, When she was bad, She was horrid.
Were at the horrid stage with Newt Gingrich, Will concluded.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
If this douchebag is upset, Newt may well succeed.
Who helped the little red liar that could...
And so to rebuke
I simply will puke.
Make my day. Go away...and stay there.
I saw and heard him. He discounts the false attack ads thrown at Newt and Donna Brazille was very interesting on that show as she said all the Romney people are following Newt around and trying to make him look "crazy" to media. She said she wondered why he is not fighting this. She said he was the only conservative in '94 who fought the Democrats and won against them. ISN'T IT AMAZING TO HEAR THE DEMOCRAT TELLING THE TRUTH HERE?
Will is ABC's idea of a "Republican"...kinda like David Brooks is the NEW YORK TIMES idea of a "Republican". You know, Books announced he was voting for Obama in '08...I wonder just who Will voted for...?
Will's wife worked for Perry, she likely switched to Romney when Perry blew up. With these guys it's all about being with the winner...even if the winner doesn't win in November.
The K Street gravey train must continue...it will under Obama/Romney...Newt might try and change the game...can't have that.
At some point, the GOP needs to consider something very seriously. They are having so much fun attacking Newt. They have relentlessly attacked the TEA movement since day one.
They supported Crist and Murkowski over solid TEA alternatives.
But as much fun as they are having,, I care less about them every single time i encounter them. They cannot win without me. And i am not alone. Have fun with your childish poem Will.
Will is also a die hard Orioles fan. They haven't had a winning or, at the very least, a .500 season since 1997. His relevance on political matters has faded in kind.
Romney is the blind trust candidate, the detached technocrat who's Presidency will be like his campaign - to simply let those already on the inside keep sucking at the trough as his minions do his dirty work to keep his name clean and shiny. Meanwhile, the guy out in the Midwest trying to start a business that will employ his friends and neighbors and boost the economy will be left out in the cold.
Romney will never make it past the thugs of the Left. He will get schooled at his own game and they will destroy him to a smoldering heap and give Zero another 4 years. Mitt only has the fight to destroy fellow Republicans but he'll go all quisling the second he meets with his real opposition on the other side.
Somebody call Joe the Plumber, the sewer lines are clogged and the crap is now above the first floor. Does it not warm the heart to hear a 'rich' idiot stuck on stupid.
well said ...
I remember back when George Will was a conservative. Long time gone now. Now he is just a self-enamored, inside the Beltway, elitist, establishment apologizer.
Get back on the Rino preserve, Will.
Does any Rino have the capability for actual independent thought anymore? Brainwashed lemmings all.
It's like Jamestown, but with an R. Sheesh.
I hated Newt for years for betraying us, but I'm telling you, he has all the right enemies.
What does that tell us about the "Conservative" pundits?
Romney hates conservaties, that's obvious. He has no respect for Reagan or Newt.
"Time is not Newt Gingrichs friend because the more time he has the more he talks, Will commented."No, GEORGIE, the more time the Speaker has to talk the more it stings you wee little GOP A$$ES.
The late Dale Earnhardt said, and I paraphrase:
"I don't care if they (the fans) cheer or boo. I must be doing something right. It's when they're silent that bothers me."
You wanna feel good about yourself America or get well?
Ya got'em making racket Newt!
We've been at the horrid stage of George Will for something like thirty years, so I'm pretty sure we can take Newt's. :') Thanks maggief.
You've got that right! This election is bringing a true cleansing of the fakes, ha?
We need someone who can be as horrid as Obama...and Mitt ain't it.
It's that simple.....Right vs.Might
We need someone who can be as horrid as Obama...and Mitt ain't it.
It's that simple.....Right vs.Might
So what does that make Mittuseless? Sheesh.
And speaking of useless, George...
There once was a man named George Will
With wits not as sharp as his quill
At Newt he would pen
Words of venom and then
Nothing more was 'ere heard of him still.
Boy oh Boy ,,,,, ain't hard to figure out who's the Establishment RINOs and Liberal so called Conservatives now days .
-—Mitt only has the fight to destroy fellow Republicans but hell go all quisling the second he meets with his real opposition on the other-—
Once I had a thrill
To hear the measured tones of George Will
Parry the liberal hysterics
Now I am repelled
By Will's thin doggerel
And the cocktail party bonhomie of right-wing "mavericks".
George Will is in good company of those demonizing Gingrich, such as former president Dole and former president McCain.....................
Unfortunately Newt is proving the naysayers correct over the last week or so with these recent examples of a lack discipline and/or judgement. Whether Romney is a "manical" liar or not, the fact that he used the word "manical" in describing Romney was just plain stupid. One thing I learned a long time ago is that what someone says about someone else frequently says much more about the person talking than the person they are talking about. Given the widely discussed criticisms of Newt, one would think Newt could summon up the discipline necessary to avoid clearly inflammatory language that makes him appear petulant.
And then there is the moon colonization fiasco. You have got to be kidding me.
We've got big problems - maybe the GA eligibility case will get some legs and turn into something positive, but I think that is a longshot.
Don't forget THEIR support for Dede Scuzzafava!
If we're lucky Newt will realize he can't posssibly win and drop out over FL. That will leave enough time for conservatives to unite behind Rick Santorum and nominate a conservative.
Don't forget THEIR support for Dede Scuzzafava!
If we're lucky Newt will realize he can't posssibly win and drop out after FL. That will leave enough time for conservatives to unite behind Rick Santorum and nominate a conservative.
Don't forget THEIR support for Dede Scuzzafava!
If we're lucky Newt will realize he can't posssibly win and drop out after FL. That will leave enough time for conservatives to unite behind Rick Santorum and nominate a conservative who can actually win in November.
Oh for goodness sake! Newt's the biggest gravy slurper there is! Santorum is the only hope for a conservative victory in November.
Look...he went into FL less than 2 weeks a ago a prohibitive favorite and now is down 12 points or more. And it is entirely HIS fault. We should thank God for the FL primary...it's shown us just what a horrid candidate Newt would be in the Fall!
George Will's 'pompous' tank is filled to the brim.
Santorum needs to get out and endorse Newt so that Romney can be dealt with.
Newt has more money and organization which you need to beat the Romney machine.
Santorum has none of either right now.
There once was a man named George Will
An Elite on Capitol Hill
He fails to admit
That his wife sought out Mitt
Again proving himself a paid shill.
These beltway types seem to be craving a french revolution part two.
Will has always been horrid to look at, now it's horrid to listen to or read anything he writes. What an establishment snob!
All-time popular-at-FR Victor Davis Hanson "there is very little actual difference between the two [Romney & Gingrich] candidates at all (which might, counterintuitively, explain the animus: personal characteristics, style, comportment, class, and background instead are the main differences between the candidates, hence the clumsily dubbed Tea Party vs. Country Club rivalry).
Will is just another GOP establishment shill for Romney.
I'd rather have dinner with the Obamas than have a beer with George Will
Santorum isn't my choice. To me, he comes across as a little odd. And interesting concept,, that a guy who doubles Santorum in the polls, should drop out and endorse the one who just survives a few points above Paul.
The obvious answer of course, is that Santorum should drop out and throw his support to Newt.
If we're lucky Newt will realize he can't posssibly win and drop out over FL. That will leave enough time for conservatives to unite behind Rick Santorum and nominate a conservative."
And another Santorum vulture flies to his branch.
The only difference between you guys and Romney's crew is that you only cheer for him under your breath.

Columnist George Wills wife, Mari Maseng, has offered her services as an adviser to three candidates this election season.
In addition to her current work for the Perry campaign and her earlier work for the Bachmann campaign, a source knowledgeable of the situation tells us that Maseng sought out a role with the Romney campaign in June.
On June 28, Maseng went to Boston and met with multiple, high-level officials in the Romney campaign about joining on as an adviser. No formal offer was ever made, according to the source.
Funny how petulant and horrid Newt brought tears to the eyes of those who watched his speech last night. How long has it been since a man or woman inspired such pride and hope for our country? I guess that same quality is in Sarah. For a man who had received the onslaught of dirty tricks and lies that he has to sit with Greta on his bus and discuss calmly and confidently his campaign and his hope for our future shows us the mettle of the man.
I never hated Newt because I didn't think he betrayed us. It was the linguine spine GOP congressmen who betrayed Newt. They are the ones who got weak knees in the Clinton government shutdown, fearing for their seats in the next election. That phobia is still at work in DC and it will continue until we convince the politicians to fear the conservative base more than they do the media and liberal factions. And that "ain't gonna happen" if we cave each general election and vote for the GOP elite's chosen moderate acceptable candidate. They don't support us, why should we support them?

U.S. Senators Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) announced that the Stewartsville Volunteer Fire Department will receive $49,118 to purchase equipment that fills self-contained breathing apparatuses. Fire departments in Merchantville and Audubon will also receive funding for new equipment and additional hiring. The funding is provided through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) and Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) programs.
"This federal funding will help ensure that fire departments in Merchantville, Audubon, and Stewartsville have the resources they need to keep local families safe," said Senator Lautenberg, vice chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, which funds the AFG and SAFER programs. "Protecting New Jersey communities is our first priority, and we will continue working to provide local departments with the staffing and equipment they need."
"Firefighters are ready to respond to any emergency that can arise in the communities they serve. It is only right that we make sure they have the personnel and equipment they need to do their jobs safely and effectively," said Senator Menendez. "Our first responders can count on me to continue to support the SAFER and Assistance to Firefighters Grant programs so that fire departments throughout the nation can have the opportunity for direct federal aid in obtaining the staff and equipment they need to protect their communities."
The AFG grants are awarded to fire departments and EMS organizations to improve their capacity to protect the health and safety of the public, as well as that of first-responder personnel in fire related emergencies. The SAFER grant program provides funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter organizations in order to help them increase the number of trained "front line" firefighters in their communities.

Stirling Castle, 1904 Dated 1904
Not on display
- Scottish Art
MacGregor's drawing demonstrates his great facility and boldness as a draughtsman. Here, he used heavy, concentrated strokes of charcoal to depict Stirling Castle and the volcanic rock on which it rests. This drawing was made near the Wallace Monument, and shows the spectacular scenery around the River Forth. The Castle guards the lowest crossing point of the river, and due to its strategic position as 'the gateway to the Highlands', it has been fought over and changed hands more than any other Scottish castle. The area around Stirling Castle was the scene of some of Scotland's most memorable battles in the Wars of Independence, including the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, where Robert the Bruce defeated Edward II of England, re-gaining independence for Scotland.

John Harbaugh wanted to interview for the Syracuse job in 2005.
Let that one sink in for a second as Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens celebrate their Super Bowl title with a parade and celebration at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore today.
Paul Domowitch wrote a great piece in today's Philadelphia Daily News about how Harbaugh had to wait for the right opportunity in football and made the most of it when the Ravens took a chance on him.
That article includes this paragraph.
"In 2005, he used every connection he had to try to get an interview at Syracuse. But the school was hell-bent on hiring another NFL assistant, Greg Robinson, who won only 10 games in 4 years before getting canned."
That has got to sting a little if you are a Syracuse football fan, even if we don't know how seriously Harbaugh was considered for the job.
My syracuse.com colleague and "Bud and Brent Show" partner Bud Poliquin wrote about this on Monday.
Now, to be fair, a lot of other people passed on Harbaugh.
As the article states, "BC (Boston College) wouldn't even talk with him in '07, instead hiring Jeff Jagodzinski, who lasted only two seasons."
"I came in second for the UCLA job to Rick Neuheisel [in '08], and got close in a couple of other [college] jobs. But other jobs, I couldn't even get an interview," Harbaugh said in the article.
Do you take any comfort in the fact as a Syracuse fan that several programs passed on the chance to have the Super Bowl champion and winner of nine playoff games since 2008?
Or are you pretty much feeling like this?

Wanna see pics of governor Mark Sanford and his Argentine lover Maria Chapur on a beach in Uraguay?
Governor Mark Sanford and Maria Chapur caught K-I-S-S-I-N-G on a beach in Uraguay just a week after he leaves office. Maria Chapur is in a smoking hot bikini and the governor is appropriately wearing Khaki shorts as he shows her off. It's speech. You can hear him telling the paparazzi (in his mind) "See, this is why I left my marriage; look at her. See what I'm talking about???"

Left-handed pitcher Jesse Biddle has been selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1st round (27th overall) of the 2010 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on Monday. Biddle had made a college commitment to play for the Ducks next year, but now his future with Oregon may be in doubt.
Biddle, a Philadelphia native, finished his senior year at Germantown Friends School with a 9-2 record and a 1.06 ERA. His junior year his stats were even better, going 5-0 with a 0.64 ERA.
Last season's 27th overall draft pick, Nick Franklin, signed with the Mariners for $1.27 million.

How can we offer more - for less?1) Simple, one of the main issues facing builders are accurate measurement and a good knowledge by your salesperson of the door industry. The problem is many competitors sales people, really do not have the experience and knowledge required to accurately fulfill the builders orders. We hire only experienced door trades people, not sales people, to do measurements, thus assuring you of a perfect order each and every time.
2) We place our orders with the same manufacturers as other door companies. Instead of stocking our shelves, then packing it for you (more costs saved) we pick up your order direct from the factory and deliver direct to you.
3) For pre-hung doors we have skilled tradesmen that fill our orders, each and every order is inspected by our door technicians to make certain the job was done right and to our demanding standards.

Adonai Missions International, Inc is a community based non-profit helping in the areas of humanitarian assistance, medical outeach, and literacy. My last experience was in March 2009. Adonai organized a National conference for leaders as well as an HIV/AIDS awareness among youths in Central Africa with more than 2000 persons involved.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the areas of community mobilization and development, humanitarian assistance, medical and literacy programs where more than 3000 persons have benefitted from their services since January 2009.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Place more emphasis on getting the word out on what is taking place in the countries they are working in.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
their love for the people they are called to serve, integrity and transparency in handling all donations, orderliness, and hospitality to guests volunteers.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
People who were very devoted to their duties, had a great sense of purpose, and joyfully demonstrated the spirit of excellence.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Provide medicalcare to four of the 16 provinces in Central African Republic, build 4 bi-lingual schools, and provide portable water to 10 communities.
Ways to make it better...
there were available tools and funds for the hundreds of volunteers to help with sustaining and with scaling up the work on the ground.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Being able to fill all the demands of communities waiting to be engaged by Adonai Missions International, and generating enough resources to send those already trained. It is rare to find Community leaders inviting non-profits to work in their communities
One thing I'd also say is that...
This is a non-profit that has gained the respect of both government and international NGOs and should be supported with every dollar you can donate.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- There's something missing in employee contracts approved by the county Board of Commissioners this year.
County-issued cell phones are being taken from employees and replaced with a monthly allowance for workers who use their own phones to do county business.
Every penny counts as the Board of Commissioners keeps searching for savings to help eliminate a $1 million budget deficit in the current fiscal year and to reduce costs going forward.
"You're still going to have some (county-owned phones) out there, but I think" it could save at least $100,000, said Commissioner Ted Henry, D-Clayton Twp.
The county currently spends about $300,000 annually on employee cell phones and there has been little resistance to the change so far.
Henry said he has received a $35-a-month stipend himself while working as a building inspector and considered the arrangement fair for both the employee and employer.
Commissioners are hoping county employees feel the same.
A new contract for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 496 Chapter 01 will pay employees who are required to use personal cell phones for work $600 annually.
Matt Spodney, chapter chairman for AFSCME Chapter 01, said he expects there could be questions from employees as the terms of his union's new contract are instituted.
"It's up to the department head to say whether it's necessary for you to carry a cell phone or not," Spodney said. "For a lot of people (it won't be an issue). They don't want to carry two phones."
Commissioners talked about the cell phone stipends in October and contracts with AFSCME Local 496 Chapter 01, AFSCME Local 496 Chapter 02, and the Police Officers Association of Michigan have all included the cell phone provisions when commissioners approved them in recent weeks.
"Exceptions shall be made for those positions where the use of an employee's personal cell phone would result in the wide disclosure of the employee's cell phone to the public and/or the media," a contract addendum for AFSCME Local 496 Chapter 01 says. "Employees covered by this exception shall still be provided a cell phone but shall not receive the annual allowance ..."

Deshaies set to join Kasper in Cubs broadcast booth
(Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Monday night, WGN-TV and the Chicago Cubs announced that former Houston Astros broadcaster Jim Deshaies has agreed to a four-year contract to join Len Kasper in the booth as the television analyst for Cubs broadcasts on WGN-TV, Comcast SportsNet and WCIU-TV.
Deshaies, who pitched 12 years in the major leagues and seven with the Astros, joins the Cubs broadcast team after serving as an analyst for Houston since 1997.
"After spending the last 16 seasons with the Houston Astros, it will be a very tough organization and fan base to leave. However, I can't imagine anywhere else I'd rather move than with the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field," Deshaies said. "My family and I look forward to meeting the great, passionate fans of the Cubs and we're excited at what lies ahead in Chicago."
Deshaies has a good reputation in the business as a strong analyst with a good wit, similar to former announcer Bob Brenly. Although Deshaies has no direct ties to the Cubs organization, he did announce for a former division rival, which means he is very familiar with the team.
"We're very fortunate, along with our fan base, to welcome Jim as the next television analyst of the Chicago Cubs," said Crane Kenney, Cubs president of business operations. "Jim expressed an incredible appreciation for Cubs baseball, the history of Wrigley Field, the strength of our fan base, his predecessors in the broadcast booth and [wanted the] opportunity to carry the tradition forward. He is a student of the game who incorporates his firsthand knowledge, stories and humor into the broadcast, and we're excited to see him in the booth with Len."
