July 23, 2010 Vol. 67 No. 28 Page 2Ask The Chief Page 4GTMOs Dive Locker Page 4Foreign Object Debris Page 3Get Ready For National Night Out GTMO Conducts Suicide Awareness TrainingBy Chief Mass Communication Specialist(SW) Bill Mesta GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba held base-wide suicide awareness and prevention training on July 21 and 22. The training provided the GTMO community information on what they can do should they encounter someone who could be at risk for committing suicide. The Commander, Navy Region Southeast requested that all installations in the Southeast and their tenant commands conduct the suicide awareness training. The Naval Stations Command Chaplain, Lt. Thomas OFlanagan, in coordination with Fleet and Family Services gave the presentations over two day gave the presentations. It is good for us to identify prominent risk factors and warning signs that can contribute to a general sense of despair or hopelessness that might result in someone causing themselves harm, said OFlanagan, key to prevention is a well informed populous. knowledge of available resources and genuine concern for the well-being anxieties and a general sense that the individual is isolated and alone. by virtue of the fact that they may have noticed that someone is exhibiting warning signs or that they have been approached for help. For the best possible approach, said OFlanagan, it is essential that we remember the acronym, ACT, which means ask, care, and treat. OFlanagan asked the audience to renew their dedication to being aware of the people in the community and to be engaged with those around them. Care for them by letting them know that you only want what is best for them and that you will that they need, said OFlanagan, but, whether you are bringing them to the attention of their chain of command, the right people who can provide the best help. OFlanagan encouraged the audience to pay close attention to the people in their work centers if they seem to display any obvious signs of despair. During the training, OFLanagan advised the audience to take personal responsibility for the situation when one encounters a person who is at risk for committing suicide. He also cautioned that one should not place themselves at risk of physical harm by trying to take a weapon away from the person who is threatening suicide, but to alert trained personnel. Our Fleet and Family Services provide for all people on the base without exception, OFlanagan said, no matter what the issue there is someone who is willing and able to assist. OFlanagan provided insight to how a person who is at risk to commit suicide might view the world around them. Imagine you are having a beautiful day, then you receive some bad news such as being told that your spouse wants a divorce, an illness of a child or receive a letter stating that you have fallen behind in paying your bills. said OFlanagan, every single thing for the rest of your day, every order that you take, every decision and may cause you to have a tremendous amount of anxiety. Combined with other dangerous risk factors, that individuals whole day can become almost a tunnel vision focused on that anxiety that has been created. These increasing anxieties can build to a point that see Suicide, pg 5

A few of areas that must be addressed with family members prior to deployment and medical requirements. responsibilities that will require attention while on deployment. Additionally the spouse should have access to the funds required to pay bills. Failure to do so can headaches. Make sure that your spouse knows where important while the Sailor is deployed. Form a plan for staying in touch with your family members while you are away. Try to keep a regular schedule while explaining to your loved ones that electronic communication such as e-mail can be irregular while deployed. Post cards are an easy and inexpensive way to stay in touch with loved ones. Make sure your spouse understand where they need to go for medical and dental needs while you are gone.

The following scene shows us about to vanquish the enemy. Throughout the battle, we He is truly mighty in this battle. However, just several scenes later he is completely found destitute, humbled, and seen losing all that he has. Now the moment of fragility for me in this picture is that this powerful man goes from the greatest general one moment, to a slave the next. Humanity is fragile. Some people hold to the idea that they are invincible, but lets not get swept up in this idea. Everyone truly has a vulnerability, it is woven into humanity for our joints will give in and our hearts may fail. Let us see ourselves as who we really are, and may we learn to take better care of ourselves. May we take proper precautions. end with no solutions. Many of our current troubles are because we did not reach out and get help before it became so unmanageable that we have no alternatives. Guantanamo Bay Gears Up For National Night OutBy Chief Mass Communications Specialist (SW) Bill Mesta A community outreach program held each year by law enforcement authorities in cities across the United States is set for 3 Aug at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. special events and cookouts. National Night Out, sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, is a year-long community building campaign. The event helps bring the community together for a common purpose. community unity, said Master at Arms 1st Class Henry Alderete attached to the NAVSTA GTMO Security Department. NNO is an important event because it creates an opportunity for all personnel in our community to stand up as one against any illegal activity, said Alderete. When you come to our National Night Out celebration you will see many faces from various branches of military and civilian service, but all with a common goal and united voice speaking out against crime, stating to the bad guy Not in our neighborhood. During the event, community members will be provided with information on crime prevention and staying safe. They will also have the opportunity to interact with the bases Here in GTMO we are blessed with numerous entities that play a very important role in the management of our installation, said Alderete, This event creates an opportunity for all entities in our community to educate each other on the various services they provide. see NNO, pg 6
The Guantanamo Bay Gazette 4 Preventing Foreign Object Debris saves livesGTMOs Dive Locker(left to right) ND1 Lutz, HM2 Guernsey, ND1 Roberts, ND1 Davis and ND2 McBride By Terence R. Peck On July 25, 2000, an Air France Concorde jet bound for New York crashed within minutes of taking off from the Charles de Gaulle airport near Paris, claiming the lives of 113 passengers. An investigative report on the accident concluded that a 16inch piece of metal fell off a plane that had taken off earlier. The metal lying on the runway punctured the Concordes subsequent crash. In an effort to keep personnel and equipment safe aboard Foreign Object Debris. It is also known as Foreign Object Damage once an aircraft has been disabled from debris. FOD is not just hazardous when on the runway, but also on the ramp where airplanes park and really even outside taxiways and runways, said LCDR Michael Edwards, the Air causing loss of life. In addition to checking for debris on the runway, the pilots check the aircraft to ensure there are no objects that may cause damage. looking for loose screws or other things that might have worked their way into the engine, Edwards said. When I was in a P-3 squadron, we had FOD walk downs every day. All the squadron personnel get in a line and walk the ramp looking for FOD. Along with Air Operations department personnel retrieving FOD, it is equally important that personnel who are on the runway regularly be equally watchful. It is important that all personnel who work on and around the Another method Air Operations uses to reduce FOD on the runway is to require personnel to inspect their vehicles before shaker, Edwards said. The FOD shaker is similar to rumble strips on the roadway. When a vehicle rolls over it, debris is shaken from the tires and dropped into metal openings. When personnel have passed the FOD shaker, they are required to get out of their vehicles and check all tires for FOD. FOD shakers will not remove all FOD from tires, said Lasseter. In many cases, it removes FOD, but in just as many cases it loosens it up enough that it becomes likely that the substitute for human interaction. Along with Air Operations personnel, passengers can also help are zipped closed so that objects cannot fall out and another is Passengers can assist by making sure they are not wearing are walking out to the airplane and they see FOD lying on the ramp, they should pick it up. Normally, they might just pass it by and not worry about it, but if they know it has a possibility to save lives, maybe they will pick it up. GTMOs Navy DiversBy Chief Mass Communications Specialist (SW) Bill Mesta Five Sailors aboard Naval Station Guantanamo Bay Cuba are part of a worldwide brotherhood of Navy divers who live by the motto "we dive the world over. variety of tasks in support of the Naval Station's mission. The types of diving services rendered include sonar dome and hull inspections, ships husbandry repairs and cleanings, light salvage operations, pier and security inspections, reef surveys, said Navy Diver 1st Class Brent Roberts the GTMO Dive Locker LPO. We conduct various other diving oriented tasks that require professional divers, said Roberts, our primary see Divers, pg 6
July 23, 2010 5 Preventing Foreign Object Debris saves lives causes a person to despair and could lead to a feeling of total hopelessness, according to OFlanagan. Such an individual could feel as though they dont have any purpose in life, said OFlanagan. Our goal is to reassure them that it is good that they exist and that we can According to OFlanagan, roughly 1 million people take their own lives each year worldwide. In the United States, suicide is the 11th leading cause of death. In 2006 approximately 33,300 Americans committed suicide. Statistics indicate that 75 percent of all people who commit suicide give us some sign, said OFlanagan. They are looking for someone to assist them in some way. placing someone at risk for suicide include substance contributed to the increased pressure on our society in general,said OFlanagan. In some cases family members demands on those who do have jobs. In 2009 the rate of suicide in the armed services was 48 suicides in the Navy, 52 suicides in the Marine Corps, 160 suicides in the Army, and 41 suicides in the Air Force, according to OFlanagan. Current Navy statistics indicate that we have a critical window to properly assist those returning from the warzone who require these resources and our diligent attention, said OFlanagan. Data from Jan. 2002 through Sept. 2007 shows that Navy service members who complete suicide after returning home from Operation Iraqi Freedom/ Operation Enduring Freedom are most likely to do it within One myth about suicide is that they are more prevalent around the Christmas holidays. This is not true, said OFlanagan, there is no month. While the subject of suicide in our community is very troubling, there is hope according to OFlanagan. The common solution for the issues facing those at risk for suicide is unit cohesion, said OFlanagan. To be able to look at a balanced life and say that physically, spiritually and emotionally we are trying take care of one another is important. According to OFlanagan, It is vital that a person who is at risk be made aware that they are good and of their existence is worthwhile. It is good that you exist, and I will do everything necessary let you see how good you are and that we can help you with this, said OFlanagan. If you have a problem provide you the proper counseling and the proper guidance If you or someone you know is at risk of committing suicide, inform your chain of command, the base Chaplin, base medical or the Fleet and Family Service Center.Suicide from, pg 1Navy Readies New Performance Evaluation SoftwareBy Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class (AW) LaTunya Howard new version of NAVFIT98A software Aug. 1, changing the evaluation.

Best Practices for Fighting Cybercrime
Some convenience store owners don't have the same financial resources as larger, big-box merchants, putting them at a heightened risk for security breaches. There is also an underlying misconception that tends to permeate small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs): Many believe they are not at risk for breaches because criminals are targeting "the big guys."
It can be tempting to ignore data security measures, but the reality is that SMBs face as much risk and liability as big businesses. In fact, a Trustwave security study found that 90 percent of data breaches impact small businesses. Despite fraudsters' criminal tendencies, they are intelligent and know that small companies may not implement the same security measures as their larger counterparts, making them easy targets that are more susceptible to cybercrime.
Understanding best practices pertaining to data security is one of the most important steps c-store owners can take to protect their business and customers from breaches.
Here are three points of emphasis to ensure payment technologies are up to date and meet the recommended standards to fight cybercrime.
1. Layer Technologies
Data breaches can be costly, especially to c-store operators that have less flexible income to dedicate to unforeseen security issues. Understanding the solutions available can help merchants reduce risk and implement a cost-effective safeguard for sensitive data. By utilizing encryption and tokenization, merchants can minimize security weaknesses, address authorization vulnerabilities and protect stored card data.
Encryption is applied at the swipe, encoding a card's number so that if criminals access the data, the numbers are jumbled and cannot be used. Tokenization creates a "token" in place of the credit/debit card number so that the real card data is no longer present in a c-store's system.
Encryption and tokenization protect cardholder data as it is used by the merchant, and are barriers to cybercriminals if they try to steal this data from a payment system. Taking this approach to data security means that merchants not only minimize fraud, but also protect the cardholder data once the payment method and consumer are validated.
2. Implement Compatible POS Systems
Proactively updating point-of-sale (POS) devices to be compatible with newer security and EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) technology is another critical step for c-store owners to take.
EMV prevents a specific type of fraud — counterfeit cards presented at the POS — by using a processing chip that is read and validated at the terminal vs. traditional cards that use a magnetic stripe that is activated when swiped.
These EMV smart chips enable more robust cardholder verification to protect against consumer-level fraud. Luckily, EMV technology is increasingly accessible, as more devices on the market now enable c-store owners to upgrade or replace their POS devices so that they are EMV compatible and can read the microchips.
Coupling EMV with encryption and tokenization enables c-store owners and operators to protect their customers' data and combat fraud in a comprehensive way.
3. Choose a Preferred Partner
Lastly, c-store owners and operators need to go one step further and work with their trusted financial institution or a merchant processing partner that can help them understand their data security responsibilities, review available solutions and implement a plan to ensure long-term business protection. A valuable partner's job is to keep clients informed of potential risks and consequences and arm them with the technologies necessary to keep personal payment data safe.
Financial institutions and merchant processors can help c-stores implement the measures needed to deploy a layered, comprehensive security program to ensure they are protected from cybercriminals. While a c-store owner/operator can certainly take these steps independently, consulting with a trusted advisor will give them and their customers the confidence and peace of mind in knowing their store is protected to the best of their capabilities.
More than 1.1 billion records have been compromised in the last 10 years, according to a recent study conducted by the Ponemon Institute. This figure clearly illustrates that c-store operators must proactively protect their businesses to avoid financial and reputational costs and expenses.
Layering EMV, encryption and tokenization, and working with a trusted partner are best practices for c-store owners and operators to implement for maximum data security.

As I am once again on the move. I do change my job like I change the sheets. It has come to my attention that whenever I change my job at this time of year there seems to be a ridiculous influx of offers.
Now I could be incredibly unrealistic and say it's all thanks to my ability to do my job, but lets be pragmatic here. April is the start of the financial year. Everyone suddenly has an increased workload, just watch BAJR for those adverts flying up all over the place, everyone suddenly needs copious amounts of staff.
So my advice to those would be archaeologists, or would be 'stepper-uppers': Apply for everything, even those jobs you wouldn't necessarily think you have a shot at, from the end of February onwards. Companies desperately need people. If you think you can do the job but just want a bit more training on something, then tell them that.
Offers come pouring in and options are an archaeologists best friend.

Many of you will be familiar with the worldwide "Occupy" movements, which received substantial media coverage in both 2011 and 2012. Locally, the "Occupy Melbourne" movement also grabbed the media's attention in mid-late 2011 in relation to the actions by the City of Melbourne and Victoria Police to enforce Local Laws and Crown Land (Reserves) Act Regulations. Last week the Federal Court ruled that neither the Council nor the Police had acted improperly.
From November 2011 until Christmas of that year, a group of protesters identifying themselves as "Occupy Melbourne" protested in and occupied three public parks in the City of Melbourne: Treasury Gardens, Gordon Reserve and Flagstaff Gardens.
During the course of their protests and occupation, the protesters erected tents and marquees for sleeping and cooking purposes, placed items associated with camping on the gardens and positioned protest signs on the gardens.
The City of Melbourne ("Council") issued "Notices to Comply" to the protesters (approximately 150 Notices were issued in total). The Notices to Comply were issued under clauses 2.11 and 4.6 of the Local Law (please see box for further details). The effect of the Notices was that the goods could be confiscated unless the Notices were complied with within a specified time.
When the protest moved to Flagstaff Gardens, the Council (as a Committee of Management and Trustee of the gardens), commenced relying upon Regulations made under the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978 (Vic) (also referred to in box below). The effect of the Regulations was that goods could be confiscated and moved to an appointed area if they were brought into Flagstaff Gardens.
During the course of the protests, demonstrators made two applications for permits under the Local Law for permission to erect tents in Treasury Gardens. The permit applications were considered and rejected by the Council. Written reasons were provided. The Council ultimately rejected the applications based on considerations of:
(Permission was also sought for a permit to have hand held protest signs. Council noted that the protesters did not need to obtain permission to have hand held signs, or, indeed, to protest. It was the camping associated paraphernalia that required permission.)
Proceedings were commenced against the Council, the State of Victoria and Victoria Police in the Federal Court of Australia in November 2011. The proceedings were commenced by a single protester who was said to be acting in a representative capacity on behalf of the "Occupy Melbourne" movement. Later, before the matter came before the Court in March 2012, a further protester was added as an applicant to the proceeding.
The essence of the protesters' claim was:
The proceeding was heard before His Honour Justice North on 8 days between March and May 2012. The decision was given on 1 October 2013.
At the hearing, the Court was provided with evidence from Council in relation to:
Justice North found that:
In making his findings, His Honour noted that it was necessary for the Council to consider the effect on the amenity of the gardens before issuing a Notice to Comply under clause 4.6 (having regard to the introductory wording to that clause. See box). That is, a Notice could not be issued in relation to an item until consideration had been given to whether that item was having a detrimental effect on the amenity of the gardens. His Honour found that, in relation to the three Notices to Comply issued to the second applicant under clause 4.6, the Council officer had not given proper consideration to the impact on the amenity of the gardens. In this small respect, the second applicant was successful in obtaining a declaration that those three Notices were invalid. The Council had not, in fact, removed any goods under those Notices, in any event.
Relevant Legislation
Local Law
Pursuant to s.111(1) of the Local Government Act 1989 (Vic), the Council made the Melbourne City Council Activities Local Law 2009 (the Local Law) which applies to Treasury and Flagstaff Gardens and the Gordon Reserve and relevantly includes:
2.11 Unless in accordance with a permit, a person must not camp in or on any public place in a vehicle, tent, caravan or any type of temporary or provisional form of accommodation.
Part 4
Introduction: This Part contains provisions which aim to enhance the appearance of streets and public places by controlling the placement of advertising signs in public places and on and between buildings and street art in, or within view from, a public place within the municipality and the placement of goods and the like in public places.
4.6 Unless:
(a) in accordance with a permit; or
(b) …
a person must not place or erect a portable advertising sign or other thing in, on or over a public place or allow that to occur.
[emphasis added]
A further clause of the Local Law (clause 14.13) permitted the Council to issue a Notice to Comply on a person who the authorised officer reasonably suspected to be in breach of the Local Law. The Notice could direct a person to stop the conduct which constituted the breach of the Local Law by a certain time, and to remove any item that constitutes a breach of the Local Law (clauses 14.15 and 14.16). A person served with a Notice to Comply is required to comply with directions given in the notice (clause 14.18). Failure to comply with the Notice is an offence (clause 14.1(c)). Where a person responsible for an item ignores a direction to remove it, the item may be confiscated and impounded (clause 14.21).
Flagstaff Gardens are not only subject to the statutory power in the Local Government Act, but also to the statutory power contained in the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978 (Vic) (the Crown Land Reserves Act).

|One Good Thing by Jillee via Breakfast At Mom's via Pinterest
Today's Tuesday Tip comes from Pinterest for a cleaning paste. Mix 1/4 cup of baking soda with peroxide to make a paste and rub it on anything that needs cleaned: pots and pans, stainless steel appliances, the stove, kitchen tools, etc and everything comes right off. Above is the before and after from Pinterest.
I tried it on some of my own very, very discolored pans and I did see a difference so this is certainly a tip I would pass on!

Thanks Chris. I haven't had the opportunity to experience the opposite. Perhaps you can provide more details about what is bad about creating the ERD, then asking the Java people to work against that. I'm assuming they wouldn't create a one-to-one relationship between classes and database tables, but to me as a DBA it seems like a good starting point.

I'm reading a book by Douglas Gehman, "White Picket Fences" (http://www.amazon.com/White-Picket-Fences-Mennonite-Adventures-ebook/dp/B00HS5TFDS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392411413&sr=8-1&keywords=douglas+gehman). I will give a full review later but so far it is GREAT!. Doug talks about his dad attending LMH and fighting against the dress code. At the time, they all wore black and he put colored shoe strings in his shoes to rebel. The school promptly added shoe strings to the dress code. Somethings never change at the core. It could be girls wanting to wear jeans, earrings, make-up, long hair, or colored shoe strings.
I had a conversation with some Mennonite friends today. We discussed how Mennonites (me included) hate confrontation. The eldest in the crowd said "I'm also part Irish so don't get me started!". I didn't and we moved on to another discussion.
In reviewing my blog stats, I noticed that my post about Mennonite Drug Runners is the 2nd highest read on my blog. Almost daily, someone pulls this article up. It fascinates me why this is such an interesting topic but apparently it is. It just goes to show that we never know what will draw interest when we are writing.
Mennonites have battled many subjects over the years. The current battle of homosexuality is causing large waves and may end up splitting many churches off. Lets continue to pray for God's wisdom, grace, mercy and love.

It's hard to believe that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Rolling Stones. Once the most outrageous and insurgent bands of their generation -- the Who and the Pretty Things notwithstanding -- they transitioned from rebellious youth to senior citizens with such respectability, it actually earned Mick Jagger a knighthood. (Although to his credit, Keith Richards still showed his disdain.)
Indeed, it's odd to imagine Jagger in his current context, a wizened old man of 69, still strutting and posturing with the same attitude he possessed all those decades ago.
Born July 26, 1943, Jagger was raised in a solid working-class family, and like most of his musical contemporaries, he fostered an early interest in art. However, once introduced to the blues, he abandoned those ambitions and opted instead to make his mark in music. An initial apprenticeship with Britain's Godfather of the Blues, Alexis Korner, fostered an obsession he shared with Richards, inspiring their future as the Glimmer Twins.
The Stones paid their dues, slogging it out in local dives, living in conditions best described as horrendous, and putting up with the barbs tossed their way by an antagonistic media and public. But their penchant for early covers -- including a castoff by Lennon and McCartney titled "I Wanna Be Your Man" -- soon gave way to original compositions, and the Jagger/Richards writing team emerged as one of the most formidable in rock history.
The Stones continued to evolve over the decades, from their blues-based origins to their multihued canon of the mid- and late '60s, through an unfortunate tryst with psychedelia. They moved on to signature staples like "Jumping Jack Flash," "Honky Tonk Women," "Start Me Up," classic albums such as Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, and Exile on Main Street, and into the era of disco. Less fallow endeavors of the late '70s, '80s, and much of the '90s followed. Along the way, they found themselves embroiled in ongoing tragedy and controversy -- drugs, sex scandals, arrests, the death of founding member and social outcast Brian Jones, Altamont, internal squabbles, an unfortunate lack of quality control -- but regardless, they manage to persevere. In fact, there's rarely been a Stones tour that hasn't sold out.
Jagger, along with Richards, remains the physical and philosophical focal point of the band. Though the years may have taken a toll on his facial features (crags are not that far from Stones, after all), he remains nimble, lithe, and very much the sharp-tongued cynic. He also remains the same mesmerizing figure he's been all along and a one of a kind, a singer who sets the standard for rock 'n' roll frontmen now and forever, or at least until something like arthritis or a broken hip forces his retirement.
Still, the idea of this blustery and defiant symbol of youth and rebellion rapidly approaching his 70th birthday is difficult to reconcile. Even though rock 'n' roll was conceived as the exclusive domain of the young, stars like Jagger, Richards, McCartney, Townshend, Daltrey, and others of that g-g-g-generation forged the new rock reality.
With that in mind, here's a select list of other famous frontmen who successfully transitioned into the realm of elder statesmen with credibility intact.
Robert Plant, 63
Plant may have adjusted his focus from hard rock to the heartland, but he's still a passionate perfectionist who carries himself well onstage. And hey, hey, mama, he's still quite the lady's man. He recently wed backup singer Patty Griffin.
Roger Daltrey, 68
If ever there was a rocker able to emulate Dorian Gray, Daltrey would be the one. Slim, trim, and with his golden locks still intact -- albeit with less frenzy than the lion's mane he once flaunted -- he's every bit the rock god he once was, if a bit advanced in years. The Who just announced it'll be touring this fall, perfect opportunity to catch Roger wailing away.
Paul McCartney, 70
Well past the point where he claimed he'd be digging in the garden and pulling the weeds -- according to the scene set by "When I'm 64" -- Macca can't seem to stay away from the stage. He may not be the adorable mop top he once was, but let's face it -- we should all look so good when we hit his age.
Neil Young, 66
Neil's still ripping it up like always, and apparently he remains just as irascible as well. (So Neil, what became of that short-lived Buffalo Springfield reunion anyway?) His latest album, Americana, has him reuniting with his old band, Crazy Horse, and the disc's set selection shows him in the grip of age and nostalgia. An "Old Man," indeed. Still, this isn't your parents' take on American folk.
Van Morrison, 66
No matter what his age, Van's always been a cranky kind of guy, so what reason would there be for him to mellow now that he's reached his autumnal years? If he's still pursuing that "Brown-Eyed Girl," chances are he's not going to share that fact in concert. Or that he'll share anything at all. In fact, he's kinda like that mean old man who lives next door, the crotchety neighbor who can't be bothered to exchange pleasantries even when you run into him outside. Methinks Gloria ought to revisit him and put a smile on his face... Finally.
Steven Tyler, 64
So Steven quit American Idol. What a relief. Selling out may befit a man of his age, but that's not the image Tyler seeks to convey. All scarves and open shirts, multihued locks and extravagant shades, he's obviously a chap who seeks to cling to his youth. Though he's been hampered by physical mishaps and the occasional pain medication that mitigates them, one can't help but want to cheer him on. No doubt he's still aiming for love in an elevator... Simply because he can't take the stairs.
Iggy Pop, 65
Iggy apparently isn't afraid to take his shirt off in public and make a spectacle of himself, which belies the assumption that every aging body is something to shun. Although living on South Beach has brought him savvy and sophistication, his decision to summon the Stooges shows he still retains more than a hint of his punk prowess. Would your granddad dive head first into a mosh pit? Not likely.
Joe Cocker, 68
Nowadays, his spastic attacks that once singled him out may be a sign of old age and infirmity, but regardless, Joe still makes the effort to emulate his Woodstock ways. He may be balding, and true, much of his repertoire seems geared toward MOR, but chances are, it only takes a little help from his friends to get him back before the crowds yet again.

An initial captivation with his own reflection eventually transfers to the camera lens as young Chris takes a job in a camera shop. He has several lusty relationships with girls and women in his youth before he discovers there's much more to love than the female gender. His encounters with men start almost accidentally, but from there he never looks back and accepts love and sex freely from both men and women partners throughout his lifetime.
Not much can be said about plot here, as the story is simply a collection of experiences told in chronological order by the main character. That said, the content is well paced, spending equal time on relationships from every decade of Chris's life. It is interesting to absorb the societal and technological progressions that are described as time passes, in addition to Chris's lively (and occasionally unbelievable) sexual romps as he transitions from youth through adulthood and eventually middle age.
The language is frank and easy to read, giving the reader a comfortable portal through which to enter and explore the bisexual lifestyle without having to 'drink from a fire hose' in too-graphic depictions or bizarre scenarios. Although I was a little sad that the main character never settles down nor finds his true love, but loves himself enough to simply enjoy life and have no regrets.
Overall a highly enjoyable read!!

Becoming a Donor
Annual Fund
A scholarship can make the difference in the life of a student giving them the opportunity for a college education or technical training. Your gift really can make a difference. Our scholarship recipients would like to say 'Thank you'.
Now is your chance to make that difference in the life of a student at Kalamazoo Valley Community College.
Gifts of Cash
The most common form of giving is the contribution of cash. Unless otherwise designated, its use is generally unrestricted.
Matching Gifts
Many companies have established matching-gift programs in support of education. Through this type of giving, employers match the donations made by a current or retired employee. Some may also cover an employee's spouse. To find out more, contact the company's Human Resources Department.
A gift for endowment is an investment in a permanent fund that earns money for the college every year thereafter. The principal from the endowment remains invested and the earnings are used to fund the yearly award.
This is a statement in a will that provides a gift for the Foundation's endowment or to an unrestricted fund to perpetuate the donor's future interests.
Charitable Gift Annuity
The exchange of property for a guaranteed income for the rest of the donor's life.
Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust
Property can be placed into a trust with a fixed-dollar income for life.
Charitable Lead Trust
Property can be placed into a trust that will pay income to the charity for a specified number of years, after which the property is returned to the donor or the donor's designee.

There are some HOT new titles on NetGalley.com that I need, want, must have right this instance. Crossing fingers that I get approved for these little gems!
From Jennifer Donnelly, the critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of A Northern Light and Revolution, comes a mystery about dark secrets, dirty truths, and the lengths to which people will go for love and revenge. For fans of Elizabeth George and Libba Bray, These Shallow Gravesis the story of how much a young woman is willing to risk and lose in order to find the truth.
Jo Montfort is beautiful and rich, and soon—like all the girls in her class—she'll graduate from finishing school and be married off to a wealthy bachelor. Which is the last thing she wants. Jo dreams of becoming a writer—a newspaper reporter like the trailblazing Nellie Bly.
Wild aspirations aside, Jo's life seems perfect until tragedy strikes: her father is found dead. Charles Montfort shot himself while cleaning his pistol. One of New York City's wealthiest men, he owned a newspaper and was a partner in a massive shipping firm, and Jo knows he was far too smart to clean a loaded gun.
The more Jo hears about her father's death, the more something feels wrong. Suicide is the only logical explanation, and of course people have started talking, but Jo's father would never have resorted to that. And then she meets Eddie—a young, smart, infuriatingly handsome reporter at her father's newspaper—and it becomes all too clear how much she stands to lose if she keeps searching for the truth. But now it might be too late to stop.
The past never stays buried forever. Life is dirtier than Jo Montfort could ever have imagined, and this time the truth is the dirtiest part of all.
These Shallow Graves
Only available for UK readers!!! Why, oh, why??
Nicole Janicek has survived being shot, but can she overcome the blues of her early 20s?
Nearly four years after foiling a shooting plot at her high school and saving countless lives, Nikki begins a short-lived internship as a newspaper reporter; gets hired as a flak by an organization whose leadership consists of people labeled troublemakers by the Church of Scientology; confronts the source of her nightmares, Thomas Lee Harvey; puts her long-term relationship with Derek Schobell to the test; learns a disturbing secret from her friend, Adam Upton, and considers a high-risk offer to leave the planet forever.
Can this former teenage hero and trailblazer rescue herself from the consequences of her own decisions? Or does every path in front of her lead to trouble?
Only available for UK readers!!! Why, oh, why??
Margaret Atwood puts the human heart to the ultimate test in an utterly brilliant new novel that is as visionary as The Handmaid's Tale and as richly imagined as The Blind Assassin.
Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to stay afloat in the midst of an economic and social collapse. Job loss has forced them to live in their car, leaving them vulnerable to roving gangs. They desperately need to turn their situation around—and fast. The Positron Project in the town of Consilience seems to be the answer to their prayers. No one is unemployed and everyone gets a comfortable, clean house to live in . . . for six months out of the year. On alternating months, residents of Consilience must leave their homes and function as inmates in the Positron prison system. Once their month of service in the prison is completed, they can return to their "civilian" homes.
At first, this doesn't seem like too much of a sacrifice to make in order to have a roof over one's head and food to eat. But when Charmaine becomes romantically involved with the man who lives in their house during the months when she and Stan are in the prison, a series of troubling events unfolds, putting Stan's life in danger. With each passing day, Positron looks less like a prayer answered and more like a chilling prophecy fulfilled.

Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

Three journalists tell how they risked their lives because of their job, and narrate the events that pushed them to leave their countries and look for safety in France, which has always been considered a land of asylum; these journalists are Tcheita Vital, Haitian radio journalist, Enrique "Pirulito" Galeano, Paraguayan radio journalist and blogger, and Oumar Dia, Mauritian journalist and political activist.
Film notes
Shot in Paris between April and June 2008, MDJ Freedom in exile is a documentary that reflects upon themes like freedom of the press, exile and reception of people in exile, thanks to the accounts of journalists who found refuge in Paris and of other people working at the Maison des Journalistes: Tcheita Vital, Enrique "Pirulito" Galeano, Oumar Dia, Danièle Ohayon, Philippe Spinau, Fanny Chagniot, Darline Cothière-Robert, Philomé Robert and Youssef Zirem.
At the same time, the film presents the project of the Maison des Journalistes (or MdJ), which for the time being is the only facility in the word that welcomes persecuted journalists.

What: The American Library Association's site for young readers, which features information on Teen Read Week (Oct. 15 to 21).
BEST POINTS: Young people can read and write book reviews on a number of topics and authors. Some of those posted include reviews for "The Horse Whisperer," by Nicholas Evans and "The Hunt for Red October," by Tom Clancy. (Both are positive.) Teens can also cast their vote for the best book this year or discuss books they like and dislike with peers in online chat forums.
There are recommended book lists, links to other young-adult reading sites, and tips on how to fit reading into a busy schedule. Teens can also peruse information on political activism, arts and entertainment, library home pages, and sports.
The Teen Hoopla section hosts discussions on nonreading subjects such as dress codes, driving, school violence, and self-esteem.
What YOU NEED TO KNOW: The Young Adult Library Services Association, a division of the ALA, promotes reading across the United States, and it aims to provide young people with access to books and resources.

The MCS device helps keep blood circulating in the limbs, preventing deep vein thrombosis.Surgeons are always concerned about the hazard of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in their patients. In the wake of surgery, blood clots can form deep in the body, leading to pain and swelling, or – if the clot starts to move – even death.
While patients routinely receive anticoagulants to prevent clots from forming, these drugs have a significant drawback – they increase the risk of bleeding complications.
Now, an Israeli company may have the answer. MCS Medical Compression Systems, based in Or Akiva, has developed a non-invasive mobile compression system that helps keep the blood circulating in the limbs, providing an effective alternative to anticoagulants in preventing DVT.
The device, called ActiveCare+SFT (Synchronized Flow Technology), combines a mobile unit with thigh, calf and foot compression sleeves that can be easily wrapped around the patient's leg or foot during and after surgery.
Automatic synchronization
The unit identifies a patient's venous blood flow pulses and synchronizes itself to these natural rhythms. It compresses the limb sleeves, automatically applying the correct pressure and inflation rate.
According to Dr. Jacob Barak, the company co-founder and chief scientist, this gentle pressure delivers an optimal hemodynamic profile tailored to the patient's specific physiology. "Its higher blood flow speed, compact size, and the fact that it can be worn 24/7 give it a definite advantage over comparable products," he tells ISRAEL21c.
ActiveCare+SFT is small and lightweight and has received both FDA and CE approval. It can be operated either by battery or the mains.
Barak says the device's unprecedented mobility has resulted in a dramatic 50 percent increase in patient compliance compared to standard IPC (intermittent pneumatic compression) systems, which have poor compliance rates among patients, particularly those who start to walk, but are not yet fully mobile. Using MCS's device, patient compliance is actually monitored on the LCD screen, providing feedback for caregivers, physicians and patients themselves.
Leading medical centers in the US have already show great interest in MCS's blood circulation systems. ActiveCare+SFT has been tested in a two year clinical trial at nine US sites, including the Mayo Clinic, the Cedars Sinai, Center for Hip and Knee Replacement, the Cleveland Clinic and the Scripps Clinic, to compare its safety and effectiveness with anticoagulant drugs like Lovenox – low molecular weight heparin.
Better safety profile
Study results show that while the device was just as effective as the anticoagulant in DVT prevention, it had a significantly better safety profile with a major reduction in serious bleeding events.
"We believe that these outstanding clinical results will support the adoption of our new model as a replacement for drug prophylaxis," asserts CFO Ronen Koyfman to ISRAEL21c.
Three clinical facilities in the US were so impressed by the interim results of MCS's study – its performance in the operating room and during recovery surpassed all expectations, that they have now decided to forgo the use of anticoagulant drugs in future orthopedic surgery, such as total hip arthroplasty. Other medical centers that took part in the trial are also considering adopting the same prophylactic model.
MCS was founded in 1997 by industrial engineer Adi Dagan, the company's CEO, and Barak, a cardiac surgeon. Their goal was to use their expertise to find non-pharmaceutical solutions to blood circulation problems. In recent years they began to focus on the subject of DVT prevention. First generation MCS systems are already in use in Israeli, Japanese and American hospitals.
The company's devices are assembled and quality tested in Israel, but sleeves are manufactured in the US. MCS employs a team of 16 in Israel for research, development, administration and production and maintains six marketing personnel in the US.
"We aim to be the leaders in this market, and for ActiveCare+SFT to replace today's widespread use of anticoagulant drugs," says Dagan. "We firmly believe ours is the best solution in the world for DVT prevention and minimizing bleeding problems."
