If you're looking for affordable cosmetic dentistry in Dearborn Heights you don't need to look any further. Steven Cohen, D.D.S., is the cosmetic dentist that Dearborn Heights residents trust to deliver experienced and professional dental care.
When it comes to basic dental care, Dr. Cohen will tell you that nothing tops brushing. If you choose to use a manual toothbrush, be sure that it is small enough to reach your entire mouth easily. Also, bristles that are too firm can cause your gums to bleed. Those who prefer something a bit more convenient and comfortable might consider an electric toothbrush. Be sure the head is soft and the bristles move in a back-and-forth motion.
If you have questions about your toothbrush, call us at (855) 409-3419 and we'll be pleased to offer recommendations.
Mouthwash can not only freshen your breath, but kill germs and bacteria that lead to cavities. Try to select a formula with fluoride. Many contain alcohol, which dries up the protective saliva in your mouth, so it's best avoided. While mouthwash a wonderful dental product, however, please remember that it cannot replace regular flossing and brushing. Remember, your dental health is our first concern at Parkside Dental Team.
Please do not hesitate to call our office at (855) 409-3419 with your dental care questions, or to schedule a check-up!
Modern dentistry, with the help of sealants, fluoride, and preventive care, has dramatically reduced tooth decay in children. However, there's been an increase in decay in seniors. Some medicines dry out the mouth, for example, reducing salvia. Saliva is vital in fighting tooth decay because it helps neutralize acids, has a disinfectant quality, washes away bacteria, and helps prevent food from sticking to your teeth.
If you have questions about senior dental care, please call Parkside Dental Team today at (855) 409-3419.

SOURCE: Strategic Realty Trust, Inc.
August 28, 2013 18:02 ET
SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 28, 2013) - Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. (formerly known as TNP Strategic Retail Trust ("Company" or "Strategic")) responds to claims made by Thompson National Properties, LLC (collectively "Thompson"). Thompson affiliates were recently terminated as Strategic's advisor and property manager. In general Thompson's claims have no merit and many cases are complete fabrications.
Thompson Claim: "the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Company... facilitated the takeover of the company by Glenborough, LLC without shareholder approval...."
Strategic Response: The Company's Charter requires that Board of Directors contain a majority of Independent Directors and specially charges the Independent Directors to select, approve and negotiate the contract with the advisor on behalf of the shareholders and does not call for shareholders to approve any change of advisor. This Charter was prepared under the control and supervision of Thompson.
The Independent Directors formed a Special Committee in August of 2012 for the protection of shareholders after
Thompson Claim: "The Special Committee hired Glenborough as a consultant in December 2012.....to do the same work Thompson was performing. In connection with the hiring of Glenborough, the Special Committee stripped Thompson of effectively all of its authority to advise and manage the Company."
Strategic Response: The Special Committee was acting fully within its authority under the Company Charter to protect shareholders and to commence a transition to a new advisor. The contract with Glenborough was to commence the transition to the new advisory agreement. During the consulting period Glenborough performed many services for the Company including but not limited to, property and corporate accounting, SEC reporting, asset management and working with the Company's lenders to secure consent for the change of the advisor and change of the property manager. The total fees (net of rebates) earned by Glenborough for the six months ended June 2013 were market based and were less than the total fees and overhead charges by Thompson for the same period in 2012.
Thompson Claim: The sale to Glenborough of a 12% interest in SRT Holdings (a Company subsidiary that holds five properties subject to the Key Bank debt) was at a below-market price.
Strategic Response: The price for the investment was based on an arm's-length negotiation between the Special Committee and Glenborough. Thompson's estimate of value for three of the five properties was essentially the same as the negotiated price. Thompson's estimate of value for the other two properties was based on dated appraisals or discounted cash flow valuations that contained lofty leasing projections endorsed by Thompson that have not been realized under Thompson's property management team.
The Special Committee unanimously approved the transaction with Glenborough as fair, reasonable and on terms no worse than could reasonably be expected from a third party. No fairness opinion was required. All closing costs were paid by the joint venture as is customary. The Company can buy out Glenborough at any time and based on the formula the buyout price today would likely be the price paid by Glenborough plus a prorated 7% annual return. There is no windfall as Thompson suggests. Given that the Key Bank debt associated with the five properties was in default and is subject to a forbearance agreement, most if not all third parties would have demanded a much higher preferred return. Further, the holder of that debt, KeyBank, approved the transaction, the appointment of Glenborough as the managing member of that entity, and the replacement of Thompson as property manager for those assets.
Thompson Claim: The Special Committee has now appointed Glenborough as a property manager, which Thompson believes may potentially breach various loan agreements.
Strategic Response: All of the Company's lenders consented to the change of property managers.
Thompson Claim: Thompson claims that the Special Committee has delayed setting the Company's annual meeting of the shareholders, and that Thompson is ready to turn over the shareholder records to a new transfer agent.
Strategic Response: The Company has been working for months trying to get complete shareholder records transferred to an independent third party transfer agent, but Thompson has refused to cooperate in those efforts. Thompson owns or controls the current transfer agent, and continues to demand and collect fees and reimbursements while refusing to turn over shareholder records, which are the property of the Company, not Thompson. Having failed to convince Thompson to turn over the Company's property, the Company had no choice but to file suit against Thompson in an effort to obtain those records. In response to the lawsuit, Thompson furnished a partial list of the required information; however it was just a fraction of the data needed by the new transfer agent to fulfill its duties. It is disingenuous for Thompson to complain about the timing of the annual meeting while refusing to transfer complete and verifiable shareholder data to the Company's new transfer agent so that it can assist the Company to take necessary steps to notice and hold a shareholder meeting.
Thompson Claim: Thompson claims Glenborough has "virtually no retail experience."
Strategic Response: Glenborough and its predecessors have been involved in the ownership and management of retail properties for over 28 years, almost a decade longer than Thompson. Glenborough has owned and/or managed hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of shopping centers and retail properties.
Thompson Claim: Thompson claims Glenborough took over investment programs by Rancon and August Financial in the 1990's and still holds some of these properties today and suggests Glenborough does not focus on achieving a liquidity event for investors.
Strategic Response: Glenborough did become the substitute general partner for some of the August Financial partnerships. Some of the partnerships merged into a publically traded NYSE listed REIT in 1996 (a major liquidity event) and the remaining partnerships and properties were liquidated over 15 years ago. Glenborough was hired to provide property management and accounting services to eight Rancon partnerships of which six were liquidated well over a decade ago. As for the remaining two, the general partner (not Glenborough) chose to hold. Glenborough, as a provider of property management and accounting services, was not empowered to make that decision; the general partner was the only entity with such authority.
Glenborough has an outstanding history of creating liquidity events for investors. In 1996 Glenborough formed a highly successful REIT which provided liquidity for many investors. In 2006 the management of Glenborough Realty Trust chose to sell their entire company to an affiliate of Morgan Stanley in a transaction valued at $1.9 billion, resulting in a 16.2% compounded annual return to investors for the 11 year lifespan of the REIT.
Thompson, on the other hand, has a recent track record marred by losses for the Bruin Fund, TNP 6700 Santa Monica and its troubled note programs (TNP 12% Notes Program, TNP 2008 Participated Notes Program and TNP Profit Participation Program, LLC), which have generated investor's lawsuits.
Thompson Claim: Thompson claims that $1 million of fees paid to a prior auditor could have been avoided if the Special Committee had fired them when recommended by Thompson.
Strategic Response: Thompson did recommend terminating auditors in the third quarter of 2012, right after the auditor had found that Thompson had taken fees that not yet been earned. The auditor informed the Company that this was a significant deficiency in its internal controls and that the auditor would no longer rely upon the representations of Mr. Thompson as Company CEO. Total fees to the auditor of $1 million could not have been avoided as Thompson states because the total paid to the auditor was about $700,000 and a portion of that was earned before Thompson recommended terminating the auditor.
The Independent directors rightfully did not terminate the auditors mid-year after they found Thompson taking fees before they were earned.
Thompson Claim: Thompson claims excess travel including private air charter by the Independent Directors and Glenborough.
Strategic Response: All travel expenses by Independent Directors and Glenborough have been reasonable and customary and there has been no private air charter. Thompson did seek reimbursement from the Company in the past for jet fuel for a jet that was owned or leased by Thompson affiliates.
Thompson Claim: Thompson complains that the level of dividends paid to investors is unfair.
Strategic Response: The KeyBank Loan documents, negotiated by Thompson, prohibit the payment of dividends while the Company is in default under the loan. That default occurred in the 4th quarter of 2012, while Thompson was in control of the REIT, and was at least in part due to Thompson's pursuit of the Lahaina acquisition. The Independent Directors had no choice but to suspend the dividend during the KeyBank loan default in order to avoid a foreclosure of those assets. The Company is working to cure those defaults, and as stated in our August 12, 2013 press release, we know that dividends are important to investors and are working towards a goal of resuming the payment of dividends.
Thompson Claim: Glenborough's asset management fees are likely to be higher than Thompson's asset management fee.
Strategic Response: The total fees to Glenborough are lower than the Thompson's costs and fees by a substantial margin.
Thompson Claim: Thompson claims the Independent Directors were fully informed and approved of the onerous terms of the Lahaina financing.
Strategic Response: The acquisition presentation given to the Board had inadequate disclosure of the onerous loan terms and the risky cross default provisions that could trigger a default of the loan if Thompson and certain affiliates filed bankruptcy.
Given that the FINRA report shows that Thompson is possibly insolvent, and that a Thompson bankruptcy would trigger a loan default and yield maintenance charges, the Company was at real risk to a recourse deficiency judgment of possibly $10 million to $12 million in excess of the collateral value. That process would take many months and perhaps years to resolve, and during that period the Company would be unable to operate in a normal fashion.
Thompson Claim: Thompson claims that the Independent Directors rejected Thompson's financing proposal that they believe would have avoided the Key Bank and Lahaina loan defaults.
Strategic Response: Thompson did present a plan to the Board after both loans were in default. The Independent Directors rightly rejected the proposal. Thompson's plan called for permanent financing to be placed on three of the Key Bank properties, which would have limited the Company's financial flexibility and would have hampered properties' sales as a way to replenish working capital. The proposal also included a line of credit for $2.75 million from an affiliate of Thompson. The line of credit called for 19% annualized interest cost and an annualized fee on any undrawn funds under the line of 7.5%.
Thompson Claim: Thompson claims "Contrary to Special Committee statements, FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) has not accused Thompson of securities violations and does not have any jurisdiction over Thompson"
Strategic Response: The Special Committee has not commented on the FINRA lawsuit. The Company in its August 12th press release did state that "On July 30th 2013, FINRA charged Anthony W. Thompson and Thompson National Properties affiliates with securities violations, including misleading investors, withholding material information and possibly fraud in connections with offering and sale of certain investment programs. (Strategic was NOT one of the programs)." The programs referenced were the notes programs discussed above.
This statement is 100% accurate. Thompson choses to debate which Thompson affiliates were charged and are licensed and ignores the fact that Mr. Thompson himself was named by FINRA in its complaint.
To be very clear FINRA has not alleged any wrong doing in connection with Strategic Realty Trust.
Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. is a non-traded real estate investment trust which owns a portfolio of primarily grocery anchored shopping centers.

This tends to be the first thing people ask me when I tell them I'm a writer, and usually my reply either disappoints or confuses them, or both.
Where do I get my ideas from?
It's not as simple as that. Writing prompts can help and have sparked ideas several times, but I know several people who say they can't write without inspiration – writing prompts make no difference there, and neither do ideas.
I used to wait for inspiration when I was younger – you can't just force the words to come, right? – but I don't any more. I know a lot people who say they want to write, but can't find the motivation or the inspiration to get any words down. The will is there but the ideas are lacking.
I write down a few ideas before I start writing my draft, but most ideas come as I write. The ones that emerge while I write are usually the best ones. But to get those I have to actually, well, write. It's frustrating, and maybe this works for you, but I can't sit down with the intention of getting a new idea and just have one. Ideas happen to me, I can't force them short of actually writing – which guarantees nothing!
If you want to write, all you have to do is start and do it. It doesn't matter if inspiration doesn't hit you right away, or if you start with a weak idea that needs fleshing out. In the words of Maya Angelou-
Inspiration isn't magic, even if it feels like it when it hits. The rush of a new idea or the solution to a pesky problem can be exhilarating, but if you're going to wait for that most awesome of feelings before you start writing you might be in for a long wait.
I find this is something that really divides the crowd. A lot of people believe in the words of Maya Angelou, and I'm one of those people. But I also know a lot of others who swear they can't force it, and would rather wait for weeks, months, sometimes longer than just try.
Where do you get your ideas from? What do you do when you lack inspiration? Do you write anyway – you can always cut things that don't work in the edit, after all – or do you wait? What do you do when you have to wait for months, and nothing changes? I know some people who get frustrated when inspiration won't come, and I don't want you to experience the same thing! Talk to me, and maybe we can figure something out.
Or maybe you do have a solution? A way of finding inspiration? Get a cookie and let's have a chat!

Posted: November 20, 2012 — On Thursday, November 29 from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. in the FM Theater, Paul Pines will present a lecture focusing on the belief system, cosmology, and artistic symbols of the Mayan and Aztec cultures and its inevitable clash with European culture at the time of the Spanish Conquistadors starting in the 15th Century.
Author of nine books, including poetry and novels, Pines is one of our region's most widely acclaimed writers. Pines' 2011 book of poems, Reflections In A Smoking Mirror, focuses on mediations about the Maya and Aztec culture. His DIVINE MADNESS is his most recent of his nine volumes of poetry. "The only other person I can compare this to is Goethe…powerful stuff!" – raves NPR-WAMC'S Paul Elisha.
A Brooklyn native, Pines and his wife Carol, reside in Glens Falls, where he practices psychotherapy. He is also an expert on archetypal symbols and imagery. His talk will feature numerous images that have been utilized repeatedly as symbols across time and cultures.
The lecture is being co-hosted by FM's Barto Speakers' Series and The Perrella Gallery, in conjunction with the current Perrella Gallery exhibition featuring the Mayan inspired art works by regional artist Patricia Kay, titled The Maya: An Artistic Homage. The event is free and the public is welcome.
For further information, please contact Fine Arts Professor Joel Chapin at (518) 736-FMCC (3622), ext. 8977 or Barto Committee Chair Steven Hymowech at ext. 8953.

The York Academy Regional Charter School grew out of the efforts of YorkCounts, a community-wide initiative which began in York County in 1996. David Rusk, a leading urban expert, conducted a study of the community with the particular goal of improving York City, the urban heart of the county. The Rusk Report ultimately yielded four education and four municipal recommendations: York Academy is a direct outgrowth of one of Rusk's education recommendations. (See yorkcounts.org) After 2½ years of study involving 25 – 30 community volunteers, including the school superintendents from the City of York and the four first-ring suburbs, the organizing committee presented the charter application to three York County school districts on November 13, 2009: The School District of the City of York, the York Suburban School District and The Central York School District. By the end of February of 2010, each of these three districts had approved the charter application, two of them unanimously. York Academy is unique in two primary ways: (1) the school is the only three-district charter school in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and (2) the school is the only charter school in the Commonwealth which has combined students from school districts with dramatically different racial and socio-economic profiles. Education experts indicate that any school district with a poverty level exceeding 40% will experience difficulty reaching acceptable academic performance levels. Because of the 85% poverty level in The School District of the City of York and the inevitable social problems which go along with a high-poverty population, young middle-class families elect not to establish residency in the city. These educated families will not keep their children in a school system which consistently fails to meet state and federal standards. The absence of a middle-class population has widespread effects, not just on the school district but also on the general civic life of York. A committed business community continues to roll out well-conceived redevelopment efforts, but these efforts will not transform city living in the long term unless there is an alternative to the city schools that will keep young middle-class families in the city. YorkCounts charged the community to develop an alternate education opportunity that could serve to keep young middle-class families in the city and also provide a first-rate education to students whose families lack the financial means to move out of the city.
York Academy was designed to provide academic programming that would enrich a large number of city students and honor one of David Rusk's recommendations by establishing a charter school combining York city and York county students. To make York Academy attractive to both suburban and city parents the proposal had to be bold and strong and innovative. The group pursued the International Baccalaureate Programme for its internationally-recognized, unique, transdisciplinary approach to education that creates an academically challenging and personally enriching environment. York Academy is the only three-district, K-12 regional charter school recognized as a fully-accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme school and is an authorized IB World School. York Academy opened on August 22, 2011 in the historic, pre-Civil War Smyser-Royer building located at 32 W. North Street in the City of York with students in kindergarten, first, and second grades and will continue to add one grade each year until it reaches full implementation as a K-12 school.

Are You Ready to FLOAT?
Samadhi Float
at Garden of Life now is open!
Single 1 hour Float $73.00
90minute Float $99.00
First Time 1 hour Float $52.00
First Time Series of 3 Floats $158.00
Monthly series of Floats $58.00 autodraft
Floatation therapy is such a simple idea that some of the benefits seem too good to be true. But they are real and scientific research has validated the health giving and performance enhancing effects.
It is well known that relaxing sleep in bed is essential to good health and often the best way to recover from stress and illness. Our bodies have amazing powers of recuperation and we just need the chance to relax to let these powers work.
Floating in a flotation therapy tank is even more relaxing. The deep relaxation state achieved allows the body torecover from stress. Pain is relieved. Blood flow is stimulated through all the tissues, natural endorphins are released, the brain gives out alpha waves associated withrelaxation and meditation. It feels good.
Usually it takes perhaps fifteen minutes to enter the first deep stage of relaxation, and the remaining 45 minutes of a typical hour-long session seem to pass quickly and effortlessly. The benefits begin during this stage but continue after you leave the tank and for the rest of the day, and the next day, your body and mind feel refreshed.

Sue states she became a massage therapist because she knows she needs to help people. "What I discovered in massage school was an amazingly beautiful perspective on healing, physiology, and anatomy. I had instructors who were passionate, rooted in science, and critically thinking about pain in a way I had never considered. Massage school fundamentally altered my perspective on helping people. It forever changed my view and replaced it with a deeper understanding of the body and healing. Massage therapy is the most rewarding job I have ever had."I feel that everyone can benefit from massage therapy.

Review a selection of Castle Lane Clinic & Fordingbridge Chiropractic Clinic patient testimonials below and please email me or contact us if you have any questions. Kind Regards, Janis & Martin Laking (Chiropractors)
Massive Smile Back On My Face as Well as Less Pain
I first saw Katie a Few weeks ago after a friend had mentioned about seeing a Chiropractor.
Unfortunately for 7 years I've been office based so I'm constantly hunched over to which I'm now (28) but at the time my back was forming this way, After 3 appointments with Katie my back has improved MASSIVELY, Its straighter, less painful and Katie has explained everything, given me exercises to help with my posture whilst treating me and it really has made a massive difference.
I'm due to go to America for a Month on holiday next month so I wanted to have some progression on my back – Words cannot describe how much its helped and put a massive smile back on my face as well as less pain, feeling Taller and More Confident.
Do not think about it, Just make an appointment you will not be let down. Tom M.
Very Pleased
Very pleased with my care feeling 100% better. I am going to continue with the maintenance program to keep on top of any aches or pains. Also thinking of taking up the sit and exercise program to keep fit. Would recommend this to anyone. Thank you to all at Castle Lane. Susan
Professionalism and Skills
I would like to thank you all for your professionalism and skills. I only came in to have my shoulder looked at, but with your excellent listening skills, you diagnosed problems which I had been having for over 24 years. It is silly that we learn to live with pain and discomfort, as you think nothing can be done. How wrong I was, you have given me a new lease of life and I would recommend your company to all my family and friends and anyone that reads these comments. Nicky P.
Best Chiropractic Care
The best chiropractic care there is – if you have never been to a chiropractor then you need to go. Has made me feel so much better and got rid of all my aches and pains, I couldn't go without it now. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and make you feel at ease. Highly recommend :) Carly S.
I Cannot Thank Janice Enough
Janice helped me from that very first visit, I felt different, had more energy, could walk tall for the first time in years, my neck pain and migraines are getting less and less which is unbelievable after all these years of suffering and taking painkillers every day. When I left after that first visit and got into my car I burst into tears with relief and gratitude that here at last was someone who could and did help me. I cannot thank Janice enough and can thoroughly recommend her and the Castle Lane Clinic. With thanks for helping me get my life back on track. Faye
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care – Just the Best
Have been to Janis for many years including my last and current pregnancy. I found the treatment amazingly helpful. I would go to Janis with back, pelvic plus "other" pains (you mums will know!) but within minutes this would substantially ease or disappear. My midwife was always impressed at how quickly my baby dropped into my pelvis. I would recommend this practise to ANY woman but especially pregnant mums. You will be SO grateful to them! I know I am!! The care after the birth is great too as your back is carefully worked on and you can then cope better without back pain and give your attention to your little one! Hannah

Casper Adler - History Of Vernon County
History of Vernon Co., 1884, p. 752:
Casper Adler, from a "little German home across the sea," came in 1854. He was born in the village of Baldern, county of Narascheim, kingdom of Wurtemburg, Germany, in 1834. When nineteen years of age, he came to the United States. He was first employed in a brick yard at Milwaukee, and afterward on the Illinois Central Railroad, and spent a year at work in a brick yard at Galena, IL. In 1854, he came to Whitestown and entered forty acres of land on section 34, which he has since increased to sixty acres. He was married in 1863 to Catharine E. Miller, and six children were born to this union: Rudolph, Joseph, Andrew, Charles, Mary, and Caroline. Mrs. Adler departed this life in 1879, and Mr. Adler was again married in 1883 to Mrs. Edith M. Seaman.
I checked, and there is no patent online for the land described above, so Casper must have purchased instead of patenting the land. I was trying to determine whether he migrated from Germany in 1854 or to Whitestown in 1854, but you will probably need to check the censuses to find that. The wives of Casper are not further identified.

I was able to save the short sale and make the client happy. Best of all I did not have to call a list of numbers hoping for someone to pick up the phone. The process was easy and they called me after the match.
Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) January 23, 2013
AlternativeLendingMagazine.com gains massive market share and continues to grow rapidly by incorporating the unique approach of Alternative Lending program matching rather than lender listing. Better quality lender analytical data and verified loan scenario modeling has increased customer satisfaction and loyalty. This particular Program #2488 is provided by a California hard money lender who specializes in California hard money loans.
Hard money program funds a 75% Loan to Value Purchase in 8 days. A Realtor came to AlternativeLendingMagazine.com in need of a fast close after their client was denied by the bank. With less than 10 days on the short sale approval the realtor was tired of believing the loan broker after discovering the bank had denied the client. Taking matters into his own hand, the realtor went through our program match system and was able to find a program provided by a local hard money lender that had several similar notes on properties in the area. The local hard money lender and funder who is familiar with the area, only required the client to put down 25% and receive a 3 year loan to save the deal. The realtor was amazed how easy it was that a 75% LTV could be done in the single digit interest rate.
Alternative Lending Magazine uses an automated underwriting process that evaluates consumers' unique non-conventional loan request and their capacity to afford it. The proprietary decision-making technology based on program matching, property eligibility, underwriting, ability to pay review, lender analytics, strategy and loan scenario modeling. The program will match the actual program that will fund your deal rather than give you a list of numbers to call.
Program #2488 Highlights: Fico: Not a Factor~ LTV: Max 80%~ Documentation: Full/Siva~ Property Type: Residential~ Location: Riverside County~ Type: Purchase Only~ Property Condition: Average Minimum~ Loan Size:$50k-950k Compensation: Allowed~ Vesting Allowed: All~ COE Average: 15 days~ Junior Financing: Allowed~ Rates: Alt B~ Pre-pay: None~ Position: 1st & 2nd~ Use: Owner Occ/ & N/O/O~ Construction: Allowed~ Other: ARV value allowed

October 2009
NDP Oppose Canada-Columbia Free Trade Bill
The NDP is filibustering the Canada-Columbia Free Trade Agreement legislation and obstructing the work of the House, says Government House Leader Jay Hill, but NDP MPs say it's their right to oppose "bad" legislation. The debate could go on indefinitely unless there is a motion to limit the time for debate on the amendment. The motion would have to be supported by a majority of MPs, however, and Mr. Hill (Prince George-Peace River, B.C.)said he could not get support from any of the opposition parties to do this. ...NDP House Leader Libby Davies (Vancouver East, B.C.) said, however, that her party has always opposed the bill and will continue to do so. The NDP is not making Parliament dysfunctional, she said, they're simply doing their jobs. "The record will show that from day one, the NDP was always clear that we opposed that bill and that's our right to do so. It's not like all of a sudden we said, we're not going to support this bill and this is about making Parliament dysfunctional," she said. "We oppose that bill because we think it's bad legislation and that's legitimate. It's part of our democratic process in Parliament, representing Canadian people."
Who should pay the cost of visiting dignitaries?
Keeping George W. Bush safe on the Canadian speaking circuit is on track to cost the RCMP more than half-a-million dollars this year, as taxpayers foot the bill regardless of whether they buy a ticket to any of the former U.S. president's exclusive events. Mr. Bush is following the lucrative path of his predecessor, Bill Clinton, making big money as a speaker-for-hire with regular stops in Canada. But as Mr. Bush prepares for three Canadian speeches next month, new figures show there's a big difference between a Bush speech and a Clinton speech when it comes to the public purse.
Libby on Women in Politics
With the perennial push to boost the number of women in politics, it's worth asking whether the world would be a more peaceful place with a bigger proportion of females at the helm. The only way to go beyond the theoretical in responding to such a question is to scrutinize the records of those women who've ruled. Women leaders, of course, are in the minority. But experience suggests a world of women presidents and prime ministers, queens and empresses would yield a world order not dissimilar to the one we have now.
Lilbby on the peace movement
With no fanfare or cheering followers, the Dalai Lama stepped off a plane at Vancouver International Airport Saturday to begin a four-day visit to B.C. While his arrival was low key, his public events will likely be another story. The exiled Tibetan spiritual leader's previous visits to Vancouver have had more of a rock-star feel, drawing sell-out crowds.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow may be able to keep her cool when subjected to slighting remarks by Republican senators, but a "cold-blooded killer" like Osama bin Laden can inspire even the normally unflappable Maddow to thoughts of violence.
"I believe that I could kill Osama bin Laden with a spoon," Maddow told The Daily Show's Jon Stewart on Tuesday.
Maddow was on The Daily Show to promote a new documentary she has produced based on Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh's previously unreleased jailhouse interviews.
"He was really waging war on the US government," she said of McVeigh "He saw himself as coming from the Patriot movement … and he was standing up for what happened at Waco, what happened at Ruby Ridge."
"I don't think that McVeigh is a hero to anybody, Maddow emphasized, "even the people who really agreed with him." And yet, she noted, "He saw himself as triumphant. … He said at one point, 'Listen, I look at it in the crudest terms and say 168 to 1. You can kill me and I'm still ahead.'"
Stewart reacted with horror. "Wow," he remarked. "Intellectually, I feel like, 'Boy, how can human beings kill another human being?' But boy, viscerally, you just want to be in that room and pull his throat out through his face."
"I feel the same way about like bin Laden," Maddow agreed. "I believe that I could kill Osama bin Laden with a spoon — because he's a cold-blooded killer. Right?"
As the audience broke into laughter, Stewart inquired, "Out of curiosity, why do you pick a breakfast implement?"
"Says more about my feelings about spoons than it does about him," Maddow replied enigmatically, leaning over and making a gagging sound.
This video is from Comedy Central's The Daily Show, broadcast April 12, 2010.

Want to know one of the most telling signs that you're nearing or in the midst of menopause? The concept of eight hours of uninterrupted sleep sounds as precious -- and as out of reach -- as fitting into the jeans you wore in high school. According to a comprehensive report on menopause and sleep by the National Sleep Foundation, 61 percent of women between 45 and 60 say they suffer from sleeplessness and other sleep problems. Adding insult to injury, most women don't consider this problem serious enough to seek treatment. In fact, in a separate survey of women suffering from menopause-related sleep problems, 62 percent said they hadn't talked to a healthcare professional about their symptoms.
Yet recent research shows that poor sleep and lack of sleep raise your risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, weight gain, and immune system dysfunction. It's time to get some help!
Here are the five most common ways menopause sabotages sleep -- and what to do about them, so you can once again get a good night's rest.
How Night Sweats Affect Sleep
Nothing prepares you for the first time you wake up drenched in sweat, with your pj's stuck to your back and the pillow attached to your cheek. Ugh. But even when you don't have full-blown night sweats, temperature fluctuations can keep you from achieving deep, restorative sleep.
What's going on?
One of the lesser-known functions of estrogen is regulating your body temperature. As estrogen levels decline, your inner thermostat goes haywire. In addition, other menopause-related problems can complicate sleep. For example, depression is a common issue during the menopausal years, yet some of the most common antidepressants can increase night sweats.
What to do
Double-check your medication list. A number of medications are known to trigger night sweats. Chief among the culprits are tricyclic antidepressants, which can cause night sweats in up to 22 percent of the people taking them; and the SSRIs Zoloft, Prozac, and Celexa, which list night sweats as a side effect for a smaller percentage of users. If you need to be on an antidepressant to help with mood issues, talk to your doctor about switching to one less likely to cause night sweats.
Focus on the physical. Accept, as best you can, that night sweats are going to plague you and make comfort a priority. Buy light cotton pj's that breathe. Put a small fan near your bed that you can turn on when you need a fresh breeze. Keep a window open whenever possible. And keep an extra set of pj's and a pillowcase next to the bed, so you can swap clothes and linens in the middle of the night if you need to.
How Hot Flashes Affect Sleep
While it's tempting to lump hot flashes in with night sweats, they're actually two different symptoms. Many women experience one but not the other, or find one to be primarily a daytime problem while the other afflicts them at night. And, as is true for so many menopause symptoms, the pattern is different for everyone. Hot flashes, which come on very suddenly, disrupt sleep by making you uncomfortable and irritable, whether they trigger sweating or not.
What's going on?
Lower levels of estrogen and progesterone are making your body's inner thermostat temperamental. In other words, your body temperature becomes disconnected from external temperature; it could be 65 degrees in your bedroom but you feel like someone's blasted the heat to 95. In addition, your thyroid gland, which regulates metabolism and body temperature, may malfunction during the menopause years and exacerbate hot flashes.
What to do
Experiment with herbal remedies. Many women find relief for hormonal imbalance with natural supplements containing black cohosh and other herbs. Some popular supplements, such as Remifemin and Estroven, come in morning and evening versions, with the evening supplements specifically formulated to help you relax and sleep.
Get tested for thyroid problems. Hypothyroidism, caused by an underactive thyroid gland, can mess with your body's ability to regulate temperature.
Keep an extra blanket handy. Turn down the thermostat and regulate your temperature with blankets, throwing them on and off as needed. You may need to do this several times throughout the night, depending on the wackiness of your internal thermostat; that's your new normal.
How Mood Swings Affect Sleep
Life can be stressful at any age, but hormonal changes wreak havoc with your ability to stay serene. Extreme mood swings -- one woman describes them as "PMS on steroids" -- can leave you sleepless with anxiety at night, then unable to get out of bed due to depression the next day.
What's going on?
Progesterone, one of the two key female hormones that decline with menopause, plays a key role in regulating mood and calming the central nervous system, which allows relaxation and drowsiness to replace the day's nervous energy. As progesterone production declines, it can leave you more vulnerable to feeling anxious and wired, hence the proverbial "worried mind" that won't let you sleep.
What to do
Keep track of when you feel anxious, angry, or oversensitive. Making a monthly chart and recording your moods may help you detect a pattern. Many women find they have one or two "bad" PMS weeks a month, then they're fine the rest of the time. Figuring this out helps you identify the problem as hormonal and makes you feel way less crazy.
Talk to your doctor about progesterone cream. Natural progesterone cream, derived from yams and sold at health food stores, is effective for many women in combating the symptoms of low progesterone, including sleeplessness.
Don't be shy about getting help. For many women, the mood swings that come with PMS, perimenopause, and menopause can be severe. In fact, in up to 10 percent of women the symptoms are severe enough to qualify for a diagnosis of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), in which hormonal fluctuations cause a profound drop in serotonin levels. If you feel like you're completely losing it two weeks out of every month, see a psychiatrist for help with mood swings and sleeplessness.
Experiment with supplements. A few small studies have shown that vitamin B6 and L-tryptophan or 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) are effective against mood swings and sleeplessness brought on by low serotonin levels.
How Heightened Stress Response Affects Sleep
Even women who used to sleep like the proverbial baby find themselves staring at the ceiling, roiling with anxiety-fueled sleeplessness, during menopause. In fact, the National Sleep Foundation says "trouble staying asleep" was reported by 79 percent of all menopausal women, trumping even the 63 percent who reported trouble falling asleep.
What's going on?
Experts now believe that estrogen withdrawal can trigger a surge in noradrenaline, leading to an overly vigilant stress response system. The result: You pop awake at the slightest signal, then are unable to fall back asleep. In addition, loss of estrogen makes you more susceptible to stress. And your adrenal glands' ability to release chemicals to cope with the fight-or-flight stress response often declines.
What to do
Eat on a regular schedule. Fluctuating blood sugar levels can cause the adrenal glands to fire out cortisol, so nutritionists recommending eat three healthy, nonsugary meals and two snacks a day to avoid stressing the adrenal glands.
Get moving. Exercise is one of the only proven ways to boost levels of serotonin, the stress-fighting brain chemical that makes you feel serene enough to sleep. Try to do some type of aerobic exercise for an hour a day, preferably before dinner, and you should see a marked improvement in your sleep.
Enhance your natural sleep cycle. Progesterone and estrogen work to make you feel sleepy and relaxed by triggering production of melatonin, a natural sleep-inducer. Calm your central nervous system naturally by taking 3 milligrams of melatonin about an hour before bedtime.
How Bladder Problems Affect Sleep
If you have to get up multiple times during the night to use the bathroom, welcome to the club. Urge incontinence and stress incontinence, both of which commonly begin with menopause, are terrible sleep saboteurs because even before the need to go wakes you up, they cause you to sleep lightly and restlessly.
What's going on?
As estrogen declines, the tissues of the bladder begin to thin, leaving them more sensitive to any type of irritation. That's why so many midlife women suffer from overactive bladder, either in the form of having to go all the time or having to go suddenly and without warning. Lack of estrogen also can cause the pelvic muscles to weaken, resulting in poor bladder control.
What to do
Beware bladder triggers. Cut out irritants like caffeine, chocolate, citrus, alcohol, and spicy foods at least four hours before you go to bed.
Prepare for bed with an empty bladder. Don't drink liquids for several hours before you go to sleep.
Hydrate early and often. Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water, particularly during the first half of the day.
Boost bladder health. Take a probiotic supplement to control any possible yeast overgrowth and promote general bladder health. If you're prone to urinary tract infections, drink cranberry juice or take a cranberry supplement.
Do Kegel exercises to strengthen the bladder muscles. If you don't know how to do these, ask your doctor to refer you to a physical therapist who specializes in pelvic floor strengthening.

Mission and Values > About Us > Oral Histories
The Oral History Program at DePaul University is co-sponsored by the Office of Mission and Values and the DePaul Emeritus Society. The program seeks to use the oral history format to document the contributions made to DePaul University by its faculty and staff. Every faculty and staff retiree is invited to participate in this program at the time of their retirement. The length of an oral history interview is usually determined by the comfort level of the interviewee with the oral history format, and the impact of the person's contributions to the university. Occasionally, the program does a themed set of interviews such as reminiscences about the impact of the great Chicago flood of 1992 on the university. In addition to the documentary and digital records possessed by the university's archives, oral histories have the advantage of producing a more personal and conversational record that always provides a rich complementary record to more traditional formats. Together, these archived resources will contribute to the present generation's responsibility to document the university's history for posterity. The final oral history interviews are edited to maximize sound quality. Each interview is accompanied by a written transcript. In some cases, condensed versions of longer interviews are prepared, but in every case the integrity of the full impact of the dialogue between the interviewing historian and the interviewee is preserved.

The Appeal To Heaven Flag was white with an evergreen tree in the middle and the words "An Appeal To Heaven" stitched across it.
The year was 1775 and it was the beginning of the American Revolution. General George Washington took it upon himself to commission 6 privately owned schooners and start his own navy, it was to be called "Washington's Secret Navy". All boats were to have "An Appeal To Heaven" flag, also known as "Washington's Cruiser Flag", on them. As time passed this flag was also flown on river banks, floating batteries, battlefields, in towns, and in Philadelphia, the capitol.
The phrase was created by John Locke a great English Philosopher based on "Natural Laws" a system of right and justice common to all mankind and the only judge is our creator. It connotes that when mankind's rights are taken from him, and when all resources and justices on earth are exhausted, that only an appeal to heaven remains as our final judge. John Locke used this as an expression of the "Right of Revolution", meaning it is the right or duty of the people of a nation to overthrow a government that acts against their common interest. This is the way it was used in the American Revolution.

The effect of retrofitted shear connection systems on the dynamic response of composite concrete steel beams
Document Type
Composite structures paper
Publication details
Henderson, IEJ, Uy, B, Zhu, XQ & Mirza, O 2014, 'The effect of retrofitted shear connection systems on the dynamic response of composite concrete steel beams', in ST Smith (ed.), 23rd Australasian Conference on the Mechanics of Structures and Materials (ACMSM23), vol. II, Byron Bay, NSW, 9-12 December, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW, pp. 639-644. ISBN: 9780994152008.
Peer Reviewed
Of the nearly 5000 bridges in New South Wales, about 17% are more than 50 years old. Most of these older bridges are considered structurally deficient by modern standards for the loads they are required to carry. These bridges will have to be replaced or strengthened by utilizing post installed shear connection systems. In this project two types of blind bolt connectors are being used as shear connection systems in steel-concrete composite beams alongside a welded shear stud system, and a non composite beam for comparison. The use of high strength non shrink grout in retrofitting procedures for shear connections can lead to differences in modal parameters of beam specimens to varying degrees at different levels of induced damage. This phenomenon has an effect on the way in which changes in modal parameters are interpreted in structural health monitoring systems. An experimental series is presented with two specimens for each type of shear connector. The first set is cast in whilst the second set is retrofitted. Each of the specimens is tested in intervals to destruction and the result compared.

Is Vicki Gunvalson's boyfriend instigating drama between Vicki and her one-time friend Tamra Barney on "The Real Housewives of Orange County" (Tue., 9 p.m. ET on Bravo)? At a dinner, when Vicki sarcastically gave a toast to Alexis -- who wasn't there -- Tamra rolled her eyes. Brooks thought she was shooting Vicki the "evil eye" and called her out on it.
Tamra started to fight with Brooks, so Vicki looked to Eddie to reign Tamra in. So Tamra turned on Vicki, telling her she needed to stop letting Brooks do her thinking for her. That set Vicki off, and a screaming match ensued. Fans of "RHOC" know that nobody can scream as loud or as relentlessly as Vicki Gunvalson.
It finally reached the point where Tamra simply couldn't say anything, as Vicki's eyes bulged out of her head. Ultimately, Vicki and Brooks left, though they did come back long enough for Vicki to let everyone know that she fights back when attacked, and she's "leaving with her man."
Is this the end of Tamra and Vicki's friendship? Will Brooks damage other relationships, like Vicki's with Briana?
Check out "The Real Housewives Top 20 Reunion Moments" next Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Motel demolition
The Mirador Motel, a long dilapidated eyesore on a primer corner of the barrier island in Hollywood was demolished. The city doesn't own the property but will pay the $58,000 cost of demolition in hopes of favorably settling a lawsuit with the property owner GSK Hollywood Development Group LLC. GSK has sued the city, saying zoning changes hindered its right to develop.

Washington, D.C.– The Children's Defense Fund released a groundbreaking report today: Ending Child Poverty Now (www.EndingChildPovertyNow.org). For the first time this report details how to substantially reduce child poverty in America. By investing just an additional 2 percent of the federal budget to expand existing programs and policies that increase employment, make work pay, and ensure children's basic needs are met, 60 percent of poor children could escape poverty immediately and 97 percent of all poor children would see an improvement in their families' economic circumstances. Seventy-two percent of poor Black children who suffer the highest poverty rates in America would no longer be poor. Poor children under 3 and single-parent households would see their poverty reduced 64 percent.
The CDF report lays out real numbers; the costs to implement improvements to existing programs and tradeoffs to pay for them without raising the federal deficit. It shows how relatively modest changes to policies we know work can be combined to significantly reduce child poverty, improving the lives and futures of millions of children.
"It is a national moral disgrace that there are 14.7 million poor children and 6.5 million extremely poor children in the United States of America – the world's largest economy. It is also unnecessary, costly and the greatest threat to our future national, economic and military security," Marian Wright Edelman wrote in the Foreword to the new report. She said, "Before we lose another generation, the time to act with urgency is now." Edelman is president of the Children's Defense Fund and former counsel to Martin Luther King Jr.'s final campaign, the Poor People's Campaign.
CDF targeted changes in nine existing programs and policies that could be pursued right now and contracted with the non-partisan, independent Urban Institute to analyze the cost and impact of the improvements. The Urban Institute's technical report estimated a cost of $77.2 billion per year for the combined policy improvements. The CDF found multiple tradeoffs the country could make to pay for this significant reduction in child poverty, including:
