I was born in a house in a small town in Mississippi and raised near the Louisiana bayou. By the age of ten, I had explored more than my share of mud holes, endless swamps, forest and long church pews. At ten years old, my family moved away from the woods and into a city on the east coast of North America.
At 20 years old I was an assistant instructor teaching Thai Kickboxing, jujitsu, entertained other martial arts, and through them, I've learned that you never stop learning. I practice mindfulness, prayer, I study world religions and cultures, the History of Science and its advances on Earth as well as in space, North American history, politics and the potential of human nature.
When I'm not on adventures with my family, I'm writing or studying. I also enjoy reading, swimming, gardening, painting, playing video games, movies, browsing used bookstores and caves and I love the great outdoors.

"Drawing in the Moonlight"- Light-Painting Photo Collection
While experimenting with some Light-Painting Photography technique one night on my roof, lucky the sky became dramatic. Almost full Moon with soft fluffy clouds playing with it created an impact. So I set my camera covering the Moon and the started painting. I even captured my silhouette to give some animated feel to the photos.

The latest and greatest on CNN iReport, brought to you by Team iReport.
Tears, cheers and a transit to remember: Check out the best of iReport this week!
'I just kept thinking about the people'
Photographer Femi Green-Adebo lives a few blocks from the Nigerian plane crash that killed 153 people on board and at least 10 on the ground. "It was so hot, we couldn't get close because of the fire," he said. "I just kept thinking about the people, if there was anyone in there."
Wisconsin's unions began Tuesday evening with hope and energy about the promise of a governor recall. They ended the night "sullen, quiet and deflated," said iReporter Jim Jorstad, who spent more than a year covering the recall movement in pictures.
"It is unbelievable how everyone across the world can be looking at the same thing at the same time," Katie Sykes thought, as she watched Venus pass in front of the setting sun from a rooftop in Wichita, Kansas. She snapped this photo as countless of sky-watchers across the globe did the same.
Straight Mormons draw tears, cheers
Hundreds of straight Mormons marched in the annual Salt Lake City, Utah, gay pride parade to show their love for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Photographer Katrina Anderson brought her five children with her and said, "Just because you're Mormon doesn't mean you hate gays."
Syrian-American boy rallies for dying
Basil Harris Chaballout, a Syrian-American boy (second from right in the photo) from Homs, felt heartbroken about the violence there and wanted his classmates to understand the situation. "Not NEARLY ENOUGH people in the U.S. know anything about what is going on," he wrote in an email to CNN iReport. "To see children with open wounds, people on the street with split open heads, and families upon families crying and suffering just makes me want to cry when I think about it."

America Votes 2010: Your election stories
I just voted, and you?
I voted this morning with my little kid to teach him from now that it is important to go to vote. There may be other people saying to you not to vote, that it is a waste of time but for me it is not. Our ancestors fight for this right and for our freedom; so now we have to keep it that way. If we don't vote, then we don't care for our future.
That is why I am calling everyone to vote. Let our voices be heard and our country be a better one. Let's vote!

I've been thinking of making a post about what goes into handmade goods for awhile now. So I got organised and managed to remember to take photos of the whole owl making process so you can see exactly how much work and love and attention to detail goes into making handmade goods – whether it be mine or another artists.
I know that many, many of you really do appreciate the work involved in handmade goods and that you love the fact that these great products are NOT made in China, but are made in someones front room, or at the dining table or in a special work space if they are lucky enough. And that every single time you buy handmade you are helping put food on the table, or pay a mortgage, or buy shoes for the children. You make a very big difference to an artists life and personally I appreciate every single sale I have ever had.
*NOTE this is not a tutorial, please don't copy my design as I have put a huge amount of time and love into creating these owls and they are a very important source of income for me, thanks!
I must admit, the most enjoyable part of the process is the fabric shopping … be still my beating heart …. I needed to stock up on a few fabrics and a few more accidently slipped in!!
You might at this point be wondering why I make so many owls at once? One of the reasons is the fabric, how can I not make at least one of every gorgeous piece of fabric? I try to cull, but always seem to end up with about 3 times the amount that I wanted to make!
"I'll just make 10 owls" soon becomes "oh dear, looks like I will be making 37 owls … sigh"
So I added my new fabrics to my existing fabrics and this is the pile (some fabrics were only used for ears and wings) mmmm pretty fabrics ….. droool droool
And so the making begins, pattern pieces are transferred onto fabric and cut out leaving a very happy pile of scraps that I do like to have little play with. Then I get everything organised into sewing thread piles to try to save on time, I do my best to save time where I can to keep the total time spent making reasonable, otherwise I would be charging £100 per owl just for the time! Next, out comes old trusty, the Janome. I have the most basic machine I could get and it has been the best sewing machine in the world!I think it took me two days to sew the bodies and wings and ears up! Everything gets trimmed neatly and bodies get paired up with ears and wings. The ears all get turned in the right way with my handy hemostats, I can't tell you how brilliant these are! Ironing all of the earsCarefully pining the bodies and ears together to sew up. OCD stacking of bodies ready for stuffing, don't they look lovely? (I only put them like that because I love they way they look all squished in together! And onto stuffing – this is seriously how much stuffing goes into a large owl! I kid you not!! I end up with serious stuffers thumb and finger at this point as I stuff them very VERY firm! (think rugby ball with ears) Taaa daaa a family of stuffed rugby balls 🙂 Aren't they happy! Right … onto wings, more turning in the right way. More ironing. OOooh look the sun did shine once! Eyes! Lots of eye bits to cut out. The pupil is sewn onto the white bit. The white bit is edged with blanket stitch before I stitch it to the body. I find this gives the best finish and I have better control over the final placement of the eyes on the body – nothing worse than an owl with a wonky eye! hehehe sew up the bum! Beaky gets cut out and sewn straight on. One eye sewn on with invisible thread. If you have never used invisible thread it is like trying to sew with an invisible slippery eel on your needle, it comes unthreaded all the time, but you can't tell as you can't see it as it is INVISIBLE!!! But it works! The other eye gets attached – hallelujah he can see! One wing goes on. Then the other. I have to keep an eye on them now otherwise they start flying around the room. (At this point my fingers are ready to fall off – if you want to see what it is like, get a rugby ball and sew some wings onto it!) Feet – two pieces of felt are cut out, And blanket stitched together. (ooh magic colour change) They are then sewn onto the bottom (snigger) using the invisible eel again. (another magic colour change)
a little roll over with a lint brush and then Taaaaaaa Daaaaaaa – a finished owl. But that is not the end of the process at all, oh no not at all!
Next comes taking 4 photos of each owl, editing each photos, creating a listing, and promoting them!
Then once someone is lovely enough to buy one, there are fees to pay (listing, etsy transaction and paypal transaction), packing to do (which has also been purchased) and then a trip to the post office. Then the wait to see if it makes it to it's new home safely!
So not much to it huh!

Ethically Speaking
In this episode, Institute for Enterprise Ethics Director, Dan Sweeney, and John M. Holcomb, Professor of Business Ethics and Legal Studies discuss "Ethics and Compliance Committees of Boards of Directors."
Click here to listen to the most recent episode of Ethically Speaking.
Dick's Sporting Goods Says No More
Assault-Style Weapons, Requires Age 21
"We will no longer sell assault-style rifles, also referred to as modern sporting rifles.
We will no longer sell firearms to anyone under 21 years of age. We will no longer sell high capacity magazines. We never have and never will sell bump stocks that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire more rapidly.
At the same time, we implore our elected officials to enact common sense gun reform and pass the following regulations."
The New York Times reported also "That decision raised rounds of discussions with top executives inside the company as well as directors, all of whom backed the decision to take a stance."
The Institute applauds Mr. Stack, his executive team and his Directors for taking such a principled, responsible decision with the full understanding that it may, probably will, cost the company on its bottom line. As he said to the Times: "If the kids in Parkland are being brave enough to stand up and do this, we can be brave to stand with them."
You can see and listen to ABC's Morning News interview with Mr. Stack here.
According to MarketWatch: "To hear the OCC tell it, Wells Fargo did not establish "effective first and second lines of defense," execute on a comprehensive plan to address compliance risk management deficiencies, fill mission-critical staffing positions, implement a reliable risk assessment and testing program and report compliance concerns adequately to the board."
The $1 Billion penalty was announced Friday by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Wells Fargo was fined $500 million by each agency. It will need to pay its penalty to the consumer watchdog within 10 days. The OCC did not specify a payment deadline.
Other Federal regulators have admonished Wells Fargo, as well. In February of 2018, the Federal Reserve met out an unprecedented punishment against Wells Fargo for what it identified as "widespread consumer abuses," including the creation of as many as 3.5 million customer accounts under false pretenses.
Under that penalty, Wells Fargo will not be allowed to get any bigger than it was at the end of last year — $2 trillion in assets — until the Fed is satisfied that it has put systems in place to curb these types of systematic abuses.
Say It Isn't So, eh?
Making Your Company More Ethical
Is Michigan State and Dr. Nassar Another Case of Penn State and Coach Paterno?
Whistleblowers: Not just corporate tattle-tales, but actual change agents.
In a Fair Game column in the New York Times, Gretchen Morgensen reported on a research study by Assistant Professor Jaron H. Wilde at the University of Iowa that found "a sharp and lasting drop in financial wrongdoing at companies that were subject to whistle-blower investigation." While, this finding seems quite reasonable from an intuitive perspective, it is very gratifying to have some hard empirical evidence that whistleblowers do provide some measureable value to the companies being whistle blowed upon.
Who's Responsible for the Opioid Epidemic?
More than 300,000 American have died from opioid addiction since the late 1990's according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Atlantic magazine reports: "In 2012, there were 793 million doses of opioid prescribed (in Ohio), enough to supply every man, woman and child with 68 pills each."Too many doctors prescribe too many doses. Pharmacies fill too many prescriptions. Distributors deliver too many shipments. Manufacturers produce and promote too many pills. All of these businesses are aware of the severe personal crises these medicines are causing and to which they are major contributors. Why don't they do something about it?
The vision of the National Association of Corporate Directors is to develop the best educated directors with a focus on skills, ethics and leadership. Their mission is to provide real learning and quality networking for directors and board engaged "C" suite officers and to be the voice for the director.

Package design and creative branding for the craft and luxury
"It's an art-leaning designer's soft search for society's last remaining 'fences"
Striking that delicate balance between providing information and exacting influence, Kimberlys work is an attempt to locate our shared human experience when so much of what can be done requires little to no human interaction. Where digital media has dissolved our physical boundaries, distances, and defenses, we are left to traverse a new and alien expression of the cultural landscape. This multi-mediated space can be physical or digital, but is not fixed. It responds to the way we conduct ourselves as 'travelers' from one point to the next. It's a new age slow burn—a growing realization that we are never just innocent passers-by.
Work to quietly fan flames.
Kimberly Counes is an artist and designer based in Los Angeles, CA.

I've noticed a trend with intelligent people that when they can't accept a standard religion (read: Abrahamic), they tend to go for "spiritual" beliefs or systems instead. Typically, this will involve accepting something like Yoga or Buddhism, or on the fringes, Wicca or anything else. I find this trend somewhat frustrating, because it almost seems as if people can't do without some sort of religion.
In this post, I want to explore not only the possible reasons for choosing a 'spiritual' belief system, but what could be wrong with doing so.
1. Reasons for being 'spiritual'
As I'm not the sort of person who subscribes to these beliefs, a lot of what I say below will be surmises or guesses. I suspect the following reasons tend to prevail:
a) That people cannot believe that there's "just nothing", or "that it is all for no purpose whatsoever", or that their lives actually are meaningless in some strict sense. (I don't mean Ayer's "I'm expecting a good lunch" sense, I mean "no final purpose or end-goal" sense). This reason requires teleological thinking; that all things have a final goal or purpose, that humans seem to be created beings, or divine artefacts, or things with some sort of design, so, the idea goes, there must be a purpose.
b) That people are impressed by their own inner experiences and phenomenology. The apparent inexplicability of consciousness. People who have had 'spiritual' experiences.
c) That people still believe we have 'souls' even if they conceive of God as something more abstract
d) That people are still impressed by living things, or the structure and order of life
e) People who believe that structures found at lower levels in the universe - such as minds, must be mimicked at higher levels - e.g. a cosmic mind, pantheos, or Force, or Gaia (earth) spirit.
f) People who observe apparent supernatural phenomena and think that there cannot be a natural explanation - e.g. apparent ghost sightings, apparent miracle cures, apparent violations of the laws of physics such as levitation or spoon bending - telekinesis, ESP, clairvoyance etc. People who believe in fortune-telling and astrology for whatever other reasons, e.g. that it makes sense to them or they have experienced it as working.
g) A fudging of a desire to look after nature and the earth and the environment with the idea of a Gaia or Mother Nature kind of inherent spirituality.
h) A fudging of a desire to be politically correct and reject one's own cultural background. This case covers people who go for Native American or other culturally different faiths or belief systems. "Anything as long as it's not Western."
i) A desire to reject traditional religions of the West, in particular, and adopt something that is "more natural" or "more in tune with nature" or "our true religion" etc. In this category are the Wiccans, the neopagans, etc.
j) Humans just really are spiritual beings and just really do need religion in their lives.
If anyone can give me any other reasons, please do so in the comments section below.
2. Problems with the above reasons
a) Purpose: in science we do not talk of things' purposes except as a functionalist shorthand. So, in biology, we say that a heart's purpose is to pump blood, but we don't mean that "someone" "designed" the heart "so as" to pump blood. Rather, we use the functional expression: the heart's function is blood-pumping. How does it achieve this function? Through mechanisms. How did it come to exist? Through evolution. How does evolution work? Through causal mechanisms. There is no talk, ultimately, in science, of "purposes" or "final goals". It is unscientific to ask "what is our purpose on earth?" if you are expecting an answer other than "to be a predator and keep the cow and chicken populations under control" or "to be food for velociraptors and mosquitoes". Outside of the food chain, we have no purpose in science.
b) The mystery of the mind. Many people are quite satisfied, with no little degree of schadenfreude, that science seems to have thus far been less than successful in explaining away consciousness. Many philosophers of mind and many neuropsychologists are, however, satisfied. The question is not one of whether science can explain away consciousness, but rather when. Since we are physical, and since there is no evidence for spirits (at least not under controlled laboratory testing conditions), we must assume that materialism is true, and that ultimately, all magical things have to be explained by reference to non-magical non-living non-conscious material parts. If we insist that the magical or spiritual is irreducible, we can never explain it. This is no different, epistemically speaking, to saying "we don't know and can never know". It's giving up. Scientists don't give up; they think there's a good theory that covers everything. The devil is in the details. Saying that consciousness or mind is irreducible is just giving up.
c) The soul. Some people conceive of the soul as being a separate thing to the mind. If the soul and mind are different, then I want to know what differentiates your soul from mine. Because we differ in our bodies and our minds. And if the soul is not the mind, what function does it play? The key points, I think, are that the soul survives death, and that it is responsible for who we are, or what we choose. Thus, apart from the 'suriving death' thing (for which we have no evidence), I cannot see how the soul is not the mind. If the soul is the mind, and the mind is physically explained or explainable, (see (b) above), then the soul is material. The same applies to big souls like God, Gaia, the Force, etc. There is no good reason to insist that the soul is made of magical soul-stuff. Or that it's not 'made', but that it is 'in time' or any other such arbitrary specification. There's nothing to be gained from these escape routes except to escape from a thoroughgoing materialism. So the question is not one of whether we have souls, whether they can be explained, but rather, why is it that 'spiritual' people so desperately want to escape from materialism - the view that everything is physical and can be explained, or will ultimately be explained, by reference to physicalist theories? I can only assume that spiritualists find their internal states or consciousness (drug-induced or otherwise), so amazing, that they find it easier to believe that it is irreducibly magical, rather than reducible to something non-magical. But remember: just because we don't have a thorough explanation for something now, doesn't mean we never will. Consider the technology analogy: a savage would find a pocket-watch magical (Napoleon Bonaparte). That's because a savage would have no explanation for how it worked. Not because it is in fact magical.
d) Elan vital, the life force. This is the same idea as the soul, and has the same problems: there is no reason to posit it, as it's not an explanation. It leaves life forever unexplained. Elan vital has, however, been discarded by scientists for over 100 years now, since we now have a full explanation as to how living things function and operate. No magical forces were found, or necessary. It was all just a matter of mitochondria, and below that, DNA, RNA, combustion, osmosis, organic chemistry, particle physics.
e) As above, so below: if we have minds, and we're complex, other complex things must instantiate minds. This argument is called 'functionalism' - that anything suitably complex would instantiate a mind, since the brain is complex. Hence, the universe or the earth might be conscious (indeed, so might the internet be), since these things are all composed of interconnected complex parts - whether the connection be via computer electronic buses or gravitation waves, is irrelevant. The universe, then, is pervaded by a "force" and the earth has a "Gaia" or soul. My response to this is that it seems possible, however, each of these systems would have to have the same kind of logical structure (and I mean logical in the computer sense). Mere connections are not good enough. A jersey is made of connected strands of wool, yet we don't think of a jersey (sweater, to my American readers), as conscious. It seems unlikely. So the connections or synapses would have to be of an information-sharing, and, to beg a question, apparently functional sort. It would have to be that not only is information shared between components, but that something is donewith the transmitted information going from planet to planet, or rock to tree, or whatever. Obviously, this raises the question of artificial intelligence. I am a skeptic for a technical reason. I will say briefly why. We're not Turing machines. Computers are. We're analog, they're digital. See Fred Dretske's work for more on this latter distinction. Unless we create a non-Turing phenomenologically or state-wise analog computer, it cannot be conscious. The same applies to the universe and the earth. They have to have the same kind of structure as our brains, in order to have their own minds.
f) There are miracles and things that happen that science cannot explain. My response: nothing of the sort has happened under controlled scientific laboratory testing situations. The million-dollar James Randi Foundation Prizehas never been claimed. If you think you have clairvoyance, ESP, or telekinesis abilties, go ahead - show Mr Randi and become a millionaire.
g) Loving nature. Being in awe of nature, and wishing to respect it, does not entail that nature has special feelings that need to be protected, and that it therefore has a soul. The beauty and elegance of natural things is something hardwired in us to notice, for evolutionary reasons. It is not magical.
h) Rejecting the West. Regardless of whether the West has perpetrated many sociopolitical atrocities over time, has no bearing on the truth or falsity of its cultural edicts. You can't refute Christianity by referring to the Inquisition or the Conquistadors. You can't abandon it for those reasons. That doesn't make logical sense. It is an ad hominem to say that a belief is false because it's held, or been practiced, by bad people. The correct way to reject Western religion is to show logically that it is incoherent; that it doesn't make logical sense. There are plenty of strong arguments for this provided by various atheistic writers.
i) Wishing to be closer to your roots - naturally or culturally - is an OK thing, depending on your psychology and needs. It depends on what you're getting out of it. Is it just because it 'gels' with you, or is it because you hate something else? It can be construed as a weird form of racism in the case of cultural tendencies. Just remember that Hitler loved Wagner's Germanic operas, and wanted to create a true Germanic church with pagan elements. If you're rejecting Christianity for pagan religions, you might have Nazi leanings. Just check that that's not what you're really about. You might, on the other hand, be a nationalist of some other kind. So, for example, some people want "the right to self determination". The Scots, for example. How is nationalism not a form of Apartheid? How is it not saying that other nations are somehow not as good, or are inferior, and therefore, that you do not want to associate with them, or their cultural produce? Rejecting Christianity over cultural reasons is a form of nationalist, racist-like jingoism. Christianity should be rejected on logical coherence grounds. As for being closer to nature, see the section above in (g).
j) If religion is an inherent human need, then I'm not human. I rather think religion or mysticism is a kind of escapism, a desire to not look nature squarely-on and admit that it's a machine - and one that's indifferent to you.
3. Conclusion
From the above reasoning, I must conclude that 'spiritual' people fall into a number of categories, each more questionable than the other. There's the 'want to feel better about myself' category that don't want to be associated with the West or with violating other cultures or nature. This category are confusing political evils with a kind of moral responsibility for those past evils. They'd do better to merely argue that the sins of the father are irrelevant to the child, and that moral responsibility doesn't pass down in the genes. Or just do something to uplift all the people or some of the people that the West has wronged, or live in harmony with them or nature. You don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Just because Christians in the past did evil things, doesn't mean that Christianity is false for that reason.
Then there's the 'want to understand consciousness/nature/the soul' category that actually don't want to understand it, but want to keep it mysterious. This category of person should rather take a step back and ask what they really want: to celebrate ignorance and the incomprehensibility of life/nature/the mind, or, whether they really are the "truth-seekers" that they often style themselves. I suspect that if they were actually honest with themselves, they'd admit that they like being ignorant and wallowing in the mysteries of their inner worlds (phenomenology). But repeatedly saying "Wow man, that's like so deep and so cool" is not ever going to enlighten you, or give you an explanatory framework.
Lastly, there's a lack of self-understanding or willingness to square up to the idea that consciousness and intentionality have to have non-conscious unintentional explanations if we are to ever explain them without being circular. ("How is the mind conscious?" "Well, it has particles that transmit the force of consciousness, which are themselves miniature conscious soul droplets").
Of course, what I have said thus far probably sounds unfounded and arrogant. Here's the argument. In order to have an effect in this world, e.g. to be able to manifest to human beings, or be experienced by human beings, spiritual phenomena would have to be able to touch, control, manipulate, or otherwise influence the physical world. If they were really spiritual, that is, not physical, they would not be able to do this. Since, by definition, something is within the ambit of science, and is material or physical, if it can influence or have an effect in the physical world. So, we know that force fields such as magnetism and gravity exist, since we see their physical effects. We do not consider them to be examples or types of spiritual things. So if putative spiritual things exist - and I'm not saying they don't - then they must be able to influence the physical world, and, as such, be part of it. So, for example, if ghosts exist, and we can occasionally see them, it must mean that ghosts (spirits) are part of this world. In order to see a ghost, it has to emit light. To emit light, it has to have electrons changing quantum states. Thus, if a ghost exists, it is electromagnetic. In other words, ghosts would have to be part of the physical world, bound by the laws of science. The same applies to big ghosts or big Spirits that create worlds, or watch humans, etc. If they can do this stuff, they're part of the world. Something outside of our spacetime dimension cannot influence our spacetime dimension unless it intrudes on it, or becomes part of it, or is part of it. Therefore, if spirits, gods or other mystical phenomena exist, they are physical. If our souls exist, they are physical, for, they have to cause our bodies to move, and our bodies are physical.
A spritualist might respond and say, 'Well, yes, we've never said that spirits aren't in this world'. That's not my point. My point is that if spirits can affect this world, they're part of it, and fall under the ambit of stuff that science can and will explain. They are physical, by definition. If you want to say "ghosts exist" then you must give me a hypothesis of how. Perhaps they are residual electrical fields from dead persons. That's fine: but it's a scientific hypothesis. You've dropped all claims to a truly non-physicalist ontology. As soon as you give an explanation of spirituality that refers to the entities described by science (fields, particles, waves, spacetime, quantum fluctuations), you've admitted that the spiritual is physical: in other words, it's not spiritual.
"Spirit" comes from Latin - it means "breath". Hence phrases such as to "breathe life back into" something. The Hawaiians call white people "Ha-ole" - meaning spiritless (literally: no-breath). Ancient people did not have explanations for how living things worked. A living being was impressive to them. They invented spirits for everything - even tree (dryads) and water (anansi/kelpie) spirits. The other reason for this phenomenon - viz., seeing intentional spirits everywhere - is that we have a brain algorithm, as Dennett argues, that lets us recognise intentional actions, or beings that have intentions towards us. Our brains are also pre-wired to recognise faces, which is why we see shapes in clouds, and Mary Mother of Jesus on toast. The point is that because our brain algorithms are over-sensitive and misfire often, they give a lot of false positives. This means that we see intention and malicious plans to attack us in all sorts of unlikely places. Think about how when we trip over the coffee table, we turn around, swear at it, and kick it. That's a typical example. If asked whether we believe that the coffee table has a spirit, and tripped us intentionally, the answer will always be, of course, "No." But ancient people did see intentionality in many natural forces, such as natural disasters, and sought an intentional explanation: the wrath of the gods. Now that we no longer, in the scientific paradigm, see intentions in anything at all, we are left with one last refuge of the ghosts. The last remaining spirit-bearer is us - humankind. And very soon now, science will show that we too lack spirits, and are just machines - albeit complex and unpredictable ones.

Teaching Awards: Irene Megaw wins FE Lecturer of the Year title
A college lecturer from Northern Ireland has become the first winner of a new UK-wide teaching award.
Irene Megaw, who works at the South Eastern Regional College, County Down, was named Further Education Lecturer of the Year at the 2012 Teaching Awards.
She was recognised for her work with disadvantaged young people and adults at the college's Newtownards campus.
The judges said they were "deeply affected by her capacity to turn past failure into success".
The awards, often known as the 'Oscars for Teachers' were presented in a star-studded ceremony in London on Sunday evening.
'Exceptionally gifted'
The event was hosted by Claire Balding and well-known faces at the ceremony included the actor, Anna Friel, and BBC presenters Zoe Ball and Jake Humphrey.
Ms Megaw was nominated for the title by one of her students, and won ahead of more than 1,400 entrants working in further education across the UK.
The award is part of the prestigious Pearson Teaching awards but this was the first time further education lecturers have been eligible.
The judges described Ms Megaw as "exceptionally gifted at reaching the most disadvantaged young people and adults on government-sponsored programmes for the unemployed".
"She helps them to gain qualifications, value their own achievements and acquire the confidence to get off benefits and find a job," they added.
The student who nominated the Newtownards lecturer told the organisers she was simply "the best".
"Irene takes the time to listen and pushes you to succeed. She is always there when needed and doesn't treat you any differently.
'Transformational teaching'
"Irene is hard but in a good way and she's just making sure you do your work. However she's there when you need to talk to her about personal things," the student added.
The 2012 Teaching Awards judges said they had witnessed "transformational teaching" in the lecturer's classes in Newtownards.
"Irene changes the lives of some of the most challenged citizens," they said.
"She has chosen to work with the some of the hardest to reach students and is clearly gifted in this demanding area of post-16 work, building the confidence and capacities of young people and adults to help them get into meaningful, productive work."
The award organisers said the County Down lecturer really got to know her students on a personal level and often helped to tackle the issues that stopped them from learning, including helping to sort out problems with social services and housing departments.
The judges said Ms Megaw's students had described her as an "incredibly supportive but extremely demanding" teacher who made them "ambitious for the next step in life".
She worked in banking before embarking on a second career as a lecturer in further education.
Ms Megaw was also said to be "tireless in finding and developing work placements among hard-pressed employers" for her students.
South Eastern Regional College (SERC) has over 30,000 full-time and part-time enrolments and offers a wide range of courses up to degree level.
The Teaching Awards were founded in 1998 by the film producer, Lord Puttnam, to recognise that teachers help to change lives.
The 2012 ceremony will be broadcast on BBC 2 next Sunday, 28 October.

If I ever get to see this movie again, I'll pay attention to that. I thought by the end Stark was controlling them all while they're flying around.

On the subject of doing well with powers quickly, did you think that it was a plot hole that Stark and Stane could use their armors well so quickly in the first Iron Man?
Well, Stark did a bit of training before doing well. Pepper passed from an executive to a martial arts expert. But more odd than that was that they decided to have Iron Man out of the movie for the most part and when they decided to bring him back for the climax, it's the love interest who did the job.

- Over the years I have saved lots of clear plastic boxes, such as the ones from SU. Doing my yearly January organizing I decided to use some of these boxes to organize. When the phone rings I like to keep my hands busy. That is what SPEAKER phone is for, isn't it? My favorite card to make is a Stair Step or a Side Step card. These take lots of images that have to be cut out. So I am sorting thru my images that I have cut and putting "like ones" into these boxes. I stamp a lot of these images but also cut them out from decorative paper stacks.
My favorite scissors to use to cut these are my Fiskar's 6" spring loaded ones. They are sharp and get into corners easily. One trick that I learned a long time ago is to turn your paper instead of your scissors. It just takes a little practice and you will be very happy with the results.
4. The year is just starting so now is the time to start making your Christmas cards for next year. I make about 90 cards to send out. So divide 12 (months) into 90 so it looks like I need to make a bout 8 a month. I put on my calendar (yahoo calendar works for me as it gives me a reminder) on the 25th (for Christmas but any date will work) to make 8 cards. Of course I know this date every month, so I start earlier most months. I love making cards when I have the time, not when I am rushed. It would be a chore to make so many cards if I waited until fall to make them. This way I can make each one and enjoy it. It is my hobby so I get to do what I really like doing every month. Sometimes I make more than 8 some months I make less but it all evens out. Oh, I do not make everyone the same card. Each one is different to some degree. Most cards I made for 2010 were water colored images stamped from Art Impressions (http://www.artimpressions.com). I like using vinyl stickers from Jerry (http://www.imacrs.com/stick-new.htm) on them also.
5. Do you have trouble figuring out how much of a tip to leave while out dining? Find out what the tax is in the state you are in. Ours is 6% in Maryland. When the bill comes I just look at the tax amount. And double it for OK service or triple it for outstanding service. Or there a bouts.

The biggest change in design for The Witcher 3 is its shift to being open world like an Elder Scrolls game. Where you go and when you go is up to you. There won't be chapters or acts, and hero Geralt will apparently answer only to himself.
CDPR said The Witcher 3's world is 20 per cent bigger than Skyrim's, according to the GameInformer reveal (digested on NeoGAF), and will take 30-40 minutes to traverse. CDPR boasts that the new RedEngine 3 will stream all areas and eliminate load times. Whether this is true of entering interior areas, I don't know.
Coming to PC and the next console generation.

Another storm will track from the central Plains to the Ohio and Tennessee valleys on Friday, before reaching the East Coast Friday night and Saturday.
The storm has the potential to bring a new round of travel disruptions to parts of the South and East that were hit with the winter storm at midweek and some places that escaped the storm in the Midwest.
The storm is forecast to remain rather weak with light to moderate snowfall along most of its journey. However, it could bring just enough snow to shovel and plow from parts of Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio to much of Kentucky and Tennessee on Friday.
A swath of snow will affect portions of North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and New York during part of Friday night. A couple of inches could fall on parts of these states.
On the southern edge of the storm, a wintry mix may fall in part of northern Alabama, northern Georgia, central and southeastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia. Just enough could fall to make some roads slippery once again.
According to AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson, "As the storm swings out over the Atlantic Ocean late Friday night and Saturday, it is likely to strengthen."
How much strengthening occurs will determine how much snow falls and how strong winds get over Long Island, southeastern New England and the Maritimes.
Major cities that have a chance at receiving a period or two of accumulating snow from the new storm include St. Louis, Cincinnati, Knoxville, Tenn., Roanoke, Va., Pittsburgh, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston.
Despite the piling on nature of the storms of late, there is light at the end of the tunnel for warm weather fans.
Steering-level winds will shift later next week allowing warmer air now building over the Southwest to expand northward and eastward.
The upcoming pattern will deliver a thaw. In addition to the release of winter's grip in many areas, concerns for ice jam flooding may be raised.

DRAMA CLUB RECAP: High School Love On Episode 11
Welcome to another edition of High School Love On drama club! Some important things take place this episode, and I personally found songs to tie into each section… Can you figure out the songs? Aunnie, Taleena, and I will still talk about the interesting things this week—Start!
Watch episode 11:
Number 1 is the Loneliest Number... Until There is 3—Sung Yeol continues to struggle with the loneliness at home, school, and unfortunately with his friends.
Ekun: My heart is sincerely grieved when it comes to Sung Yeol, because he just can't catch a break or find solace in friends or family. Sometimes you have to get away to find your own self—I am pro transfer.
Taleena: Sung Yeol does not give up. Stay strong Sung Yeol! Fighting!
Aunnie: I'm kind of hoping he does give up, just allowing my heart to ease and not watch him week after week struggle for something I know he won't get in the end.
Taleena: Eventually Woo Hyun is going to do or say something again and you will get your chance. Do not go quietly to your SLS fate, I believe in you.
Ekun: Does he really have a choice? With that thing Seul Bi said towards then end about being friends… It would be intrusive to continue.
Aunnie: On a different note: Woo Hyun and Seul Bi are terrible friends. They just took off without even checking to see if Sung Yeol was following them! I've never just "assumed" someone was following me. I make sure. *sigh* Bad friends, bad!
Now You Want to Blame the World... For Being a Pariah —Ye Na is experiencing all the heartache and abandonment of her actions.
Aunnie: Ye Na... Ye Na... I have not one nice thing to say about this girl. Not... A... One. That being said, I'm glad her friends abandoned her because we got to see her "true" nature and that is she's willing to purposefully hurt, maim, and possibly kill someone just for the sake of, what? Friendship?
Taleena: This is how you learn, but reaping the consequences of your actions.
Ekun: Apparently she has learned nothing! Her pushing Seul Bi down the stairs? I was not sure what she was trying to accomplish. I really do not like this girl, but I still want to give her a hug and let her know she doesn't have to be this way.
Taleena: Ye Na, instead of quiet introspection and remorse will leap right to overwrought drama, but that is par for the course of teen girlhood.
Aunnie: She's irredeemable at this point. If I'm going to push someone and possibly kill them, you better believe it's because Hyun Bin is standing outside my workplace with a sign that says "Marry Me, Aunnie".
Ekun: Wait, what were we talking about? If you mention Hyun Bin things get blurry for me…
For the Kids—Does one of the bullies have a crush? What was Jae Suk like back in the day?
Taleena: Aha! The continuing saga of Thug #1… Having not quite broken away from Jae Suk's bad influence, his mind blown by the possibility of having seen Seul Bi teleport, he is now developing independent thought and wondering along with the rest of us, "Just what is Jae Suk's malfunction?"
Ekun: That is how I feel Taleena. Thug #1 (the cutie) is starting to show more of a "ugh" face to the daily chore of doing what Jae Suk says. I thought him talking to the girl (the one with the deadbeat dad) was also a cute touch.
Aunnie: What it must be like to see through your eyes because I just saw him being the same old bully we've come to hate for the last 11 episodes.
Ekun: Really? He seems a bit different to me… I was just thinking when are they going to leave Jae Suk alone?
Aunnie: I don't know but I"ll say one thing . . . they need to give the bullies their story arcs because I'm starting to lose interest in the bullies and more interest in this SLS action.
This is war! Even from different ends of the spectrum, a struggle is a struggle—Woo Hyun tells Sung Yeol he is lucky to have parents. But the person he wants doesn't see him. Discuss!
Ekun: I like the show because you have these two boys in what seems to be different surroundings, but very much in the same situation. They are both lonely. That is why I just want them all to be friends forever.
Taleena: The age old question what is better: having a girlfriend or being accepted by - or having a - family? The fact that these are high school boys makes me say family is more important.
Aunnie: I think that conversation between Sung Yeol and Woo Hyun came at the perfect time (at first) for Sung Yeol; it allowed him to accept the motherly love that was being given to him.
Papa Don't Preach! But Momma You Can't Either!—Woo Hyun's mom abandoning him even now is something that can't be denied. Thoughts?
Aunnie: The writer's have come a long way into making me much more comfortable with this mother. I remember hating her with such a passion that it spoiled every scene she was in buuuuuut these past few weeks have given many glimpses into her personality and I gotta say . . . I honestly waiting for her redemption—cause she'll get one.
Taleena: She will for sure get redemption. I have been thinking about her story, and I wonder how antagonistic things were between her and Granny Gong.
Ekun: Well I will be on the "Forever I can't with Mom" boat. I cannot give a gold star to a person who continually ignores her own kid.
Taleena: I can't figure out what makes me more aggravated: Peach Dad unable to detect what is under his nose or Mom for squandering opportunities to tell Peach Dad!
Ekun: Like I said, perhaps she had her reasons in the past (and maybe I can get over that) but now? There really are no excuses.
Who Knew Taeyang's Look Only at Me Concept Could be so Popular!— Ye Na and Sung Yeol make their last cries for Woo Hyun and Seul Bi to look their way.
Taleena: Ye Na went from pushing a kid down stairs, to looking on pathetically while her class danced on desks, to trying to blackmail a fellow student, and we had the obligatory "I'll kill myself!" I think this girl needs some therapy STAT.
Aunnie: As far as Ye Na… I refer to you to my earlier response—nothing good will come from me talking any more about her. Haha.
Ekun: Ye Na and her cries for attention are getting old. She saying she is going to kill herself really pisses me off!
Taleena: Seriously Sung Yeol, don't give up!
Ekun: I was so sad when Sung Yeol asked Seul Bi to look at him…We all knew that was just not going to happen.
It's This 1 Thing That's got me Trippin!—Sung Yeol has found the necklace! How will this play out?!
Ekun: *Censored* is about to get real. Sung Yeol is not going to take this well based on him trying to get close with his stepmother and now she is Woo Hyun's real mother!
Taleena: Now the question becomes who is he going to tell first: Woo Hyun, Mom, or Peach Dad? Woo Hyun seems to be the frontrunner because he caught Sung Yeol riffling through his desk, but my money is on Mom…
Aunnie: What will Sung Yeol do next? Will he A) Not say anything about it, and start a fight with Woo Hyun about nothing before stomping out of the house, leaving a confused Woo Hyun behind…
Ekun: It can easily been seen how the show is trying to give Sung Yeol a complex against Woo Hyun… I personally think it does not have to go down this way! Protest!
Aunnie: B) Sarcastically throw the truth into Woo Hyun's face before remaining in "Poor Me" mode for the rest of the episode and doing something utterly stupid to purposefully mess up his life?
So, were you able to figure out some of the songs? I gave Taeyang's to you! Stay tuned for next week, where will discuss Sung Yeol's reaction to the shocking bombshell. Just for those who are curious, here is a link to all the songs mentioned in today's post. Peace!

Quick Reference
A discipline within international marketing that concentrates mainly on the sale of products created in the domestic market to overseas markets. Exporting is usually the first stage in full-scale international marketing and foreign market entry. Exporting is also a central component of international trade negotiations as well as multilateral and bilateral trade agreements. Exporting is also a barometer of the strength or weakness of the domestic economy and partly determines the balance of trade. There are several ways to export. The way in which a company chooses to export its products can have a significant effect on its international market strategies. The basic categories of exporting all relate to the exporter's level of involvement in the export process. There are at least three approaches, which may be used alone or in combination:

Australia to accept Cuban aslyum seekers held at Guantanamo Bay
[JURIST] Australia confirmed Monday that it will accept three Cuban asylum seekers currently held at the Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] Migrations Operation Center. The center, utilized [CIP report] by the US military after the recent Haitian earthquake [JURIST news archive] to house mainly Haitian asylum seekers, is not affiliated with the US detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Upon the announcement, Australian Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Evans [official profile], denied [Australian report] any connection between Australia's acceptance of the Cuban asylum seekers and US acceptance of Tamil [JURIST news archive] asylum seekers intercepted by the Australian Customs Service [official website] in October and denied [press release] entrance into Australia. All 78 asylum seekers aboard an Australian Customs Service vessel have been declared refugees [Radio Australia report] by the UN High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHRC) [official website]. The Australian government has been actively seeking resettlement [ABC report] of the refugees in countries other than Australia.
Australia has been criticized for its Immigration Detention Policy [HREOC backgrounder], which requires any non-citizen seeking entrance into Australia to be detained. In 2006, the High Court of Australia [official website] held [JURIST report] that a "holder of a temporary protection visa is not entitled to further protection in Australia if they are no longer in danger in the country from which they fled" and that the person may not remain a refugee. The UNHCR criticized [JURIST report] Australia for its strict policy of detaining illegal immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. A representative of the UNHCR said that detention of asylum seekers and refugees is inherently undesirable and should only be used while authorities checked identities, where travel and identification papers had been lost or destroyed, or to protect public security.

Canadiens 4, Hurricanes 1
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Center David Desharnais scored two goals and goaltender Carey Price made 31 saves as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 on Saturday night at PNC Arena.
The Sports Xchange
Canadiens 4, Hurricanes 1
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Center David Desharnais scored two goals and goaltender Carey Price made 31 saves as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 on Saturday night at PNC Arena.
Desharnais and center Ryan White scored in an 85-second span in the waning minutes of the second period as the Canadiens wiped out a 1-0 deficit. Desharnais scored again in the third period before right winger Brian Gionta's empty-net tally closed out the scoring.
Montreal takes a three-game winning streak into the Olympic layoff, though there are concerns about the condition of one of its top players.
Left winger Max Pacioretty departed in the first period after he crashed into the net amid contact from Carolina defenseman Brett Bellemore. Team officials reported the ailment to be a lower-body injury.
Pacioretty, who was pegged to be on the U.S. Olympic team when it begins play next week in Russia, leads the Canadiens with 37 points, including 26 goals. He scored a total of three goals in two previous games against Carolina, while he was coming off a hat trick two nights earlier against Vancouver.
Hurricanes left winger Drayson Bowman scored less than six minutes into the second period for Carolina, which lost for the third time in five games heading into the Olympic break. Two of the losses came to Montreal.
Carolina goalie Anton Khudobin, playing in his 17th consecutive game, stopped 20 shots.
Price, who shut out the Hurricanes with 36 saves Jan. 28 in Montreal, owns a 10-5-2 career record against Carolina.
Bowman's first goal in 15 games came with a slap shot after the Hurricanes reversed the puck.
The Canadiens pulled even with precision passing, leading to Desharnais's goal with 2:08 remaining in the second period. Desharnais, who delivered a pass to right winger Rene Bourque before getting the puck back for the shot, has four goals in 12 games.
White was in front of the puck when he was struck by the puck and then turned to deposit the puck into the net.
NOTES: Hurricanes D John-Michael Liles sat out with a lower-body injury suffered a night earlier. It was the first game he missed since arriving in a Jan. 1 trade with Toronto. ... Montreal has seven Olympians, with G Carey Price (Canada), D P.K. Subban (Canada), LW Max Pacioretty (U.S.), C Tomas Plekanec (Czech Republic), G Peter Budaj (Slovakia), D Alexei Emelin (Russia) and D Andrei Markov (Russia). ... Pacioretty, who is Montreal's top scorer with 26 goals, left Saturday night's game with a first-period injury. ... Carolina is sending D Justin Faulk (U.S.), RW Tuomo Ruutu (Finland), D Andrej Sekera (Slovakia) and RW Alexander Semin (Russia) to the Olympics. ... The Hurricanes announced a crowd of 18,680 for their second home sellout of the season. ... The Hurricanes resume play earlier than originally scheduled after the Olympic break, playing a make-up game Feb. 25 at Buffalo. ... Montreal picks up its schedule Feb. 26 at home against Detroit.

Glee fans will be seeing and hearing their favorite stars performing in front of new custom-sewn drapes created by theatrical drapery manufacturer Sew What? Inc.
Online PR News – 30-December-2010 – – Fans of the hit TV series "Glee" will be seeing and hearing their favorite stars performing in front of new custom-sewn drapes created by theatrical drapery manufacturer Sew What? Inc. The new stage drape, a massive "brick" velour, debuted in the recent "Special Education" episode as the club competed at Sectionals.
The richness and soft texture of the velour drape presented a lush classical backdrop as the Glee performers danced and sang in the foreground.
According to Sew What? Inc. president Megan Duckett, the challenge involved delivering a large amount of yardage in a short period of time, while carefully considering many different fabric weights and colors to arrive at the perfect show piece.
"It was important to the producers that this drape could be used during the course of the Glee season, meaning it had to be integral to the spirit of this hugely successful series," said Ms. Duckett.
In addition, Sew What? provided a complete theatrical drapery package including masking drapes, cyclorama and scrim set. "Glee is all about production," added Ms. Duckett. "They're a full-out premier production company with a top-rated show, and they're not about cutting any corners. Our stock-in-trade is working with A-list performers who need drapery suppliers who can step up to any challenges, so we felt fully up to the task."
This isn't the first time the producers of Glee have taken advantage of the fabrication talents of Sew What?. In their 2010 live tour, actors performed in front of large digitally printed fabric replicas of 1950's guitar amplifiers created by Sew What?.
The producers also called on the capabilities of its sister company Rent What? Inc. for a variety of drape rentals, both for the series as well as the live tour. In the "Special Education" episode, performers sang in front of a stunning silver Austrian drape from the Silver Satin Drapery Series, notable for the way the fabrics' folds catch and reflect stage lighting.
Sew What? Inc., located in Rancho Dominguez, CA, is well-known for its dramatic theatrical drapes and custom stage drapes used in major rock concerts, top fashion shows and other artistic staged venues. The drapery company has received numerous awards for innovation, including the Dell/NFIB Small Business Excellence Award as well as PC Magazine's SMB 20 Award for technological innovation for small and medium-sized businesses, and was featured on the 1000th cover of Rolling Stone.

How Your Child's Diet Contributes to His or Her Emotional Well-being
Last Updated by
Are you concerned about what your child eats? Do you ever feel foggy, like your brain won't work? Maybe you often feel tired cranky, anxious or depressed. This can be a challenge for adults, but it's especially tough for young people, including children.
On this week's episode of our Get Ready to Learn radio show, Cindy Putman talks about out how eating a healthy diet can affect your child's physical and emotional well-being. Dr. Marty Merritt and Sarah Nelson of Naturally Nelson's Farm share information about how a healthy lifestyle can change the course of your life.
Have you ever heard of the GAPS diet? It was created by the mother of a child with autism. Specifically, it was meant for children who suffer from autism or other autoimmune disorders. The gaps diet is a diet of healing that takes place in your gut.
You may have heard people refer to a leaky gut or a severe digestive disorder. Lots of important functions happen in your gut and it's more than just a place for your belly.
If your gut is healthy, it should be producing natural probiotics that help keep inflammation in check. Gaps diet stands for gut and psychology syndrome.
What is going on in your gut can affect the way you feel, as well as your emotional and mental well-being. When your gut is not healthy, this is usually related to the accumulation of toxins or lack of healthy organisms that should be there.
Brain fog is caused by an accumulation of toxins in your brain. Your environment, your genetic makeup and the food choices you make can contribute in a positive or negative way to your overall well-being. There are many things you can do to have a healthy gut. One is to eat plain yogurt that is sugar free. Kefir or other fermented foods are also helpful and can contribute probiotics that may repair your gut.
Soil based organisms (SBO) grow in dirt and they can also support a healthy gut. If you are a parent or a caregiver you can make some simple changes that can help the children in your lives.
Begin by trying to add whole fresh natural foods that are locally grown to your table. Try to eliminate processed foods and avoid drinking lots of sugary drinks.
Get daily exercise. A simple walk around the block can help clear your mind and give you an opportunity to spend one-on-one time with your child.
What you and your family eat contributes to your health, but so do the lifestyle choices you make. Remember when you improve your gut you improve your life.
In this week's show, Cindy will also talk about the importance of instilling a sense of empathy in your child. Did you know children who are raised in homes with animals are shown to have more empathy in their lives? If you don't own a pet, there are many organizations that will allow you to Foster an animal for a period of time.
Tune in each Saturday morning at 9:30 for the WCTE Get Ready To Learn Radio Show, with host Cindy Putman on Zimmer Broadcasting's The HUB 107.7 FM and 1400 AM.
Dr. Marti Merritt, LCP
A Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Merritt is also a certified Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) nutritionist.

A group of elephants visited Ndaragwiti village in tow with their young ones, the herd was one of the major visits experienced with minor damages and destruction. Though maize in the yards were abundance, they caused minimal damage, maybe a gnaw at their ''long lost'' fruits or herb.
This is unusual. Elephants are some of the animals that are guided by instinct, or why could they drop in so unexpectedly? Did they come to say hi? It's worth noting that more or less the damage to their habitat could have instigated from-the-blue call. It is most likely that the long lost fruit was cut off from existence when a wood cutting human visited the woodlot.
The environmental change is no joke and could cause unprecedented disorders into our very livelihoods. The wangwachi dam that has been a source of daily bread to many is now endangered, directly by humanity and climate change. Whenever elephants visit, they only come to report its sadness on the illegal evacuation from its natural home.
If we keep mum, the fish flying in the wangwachi dam are now an endangered species destined for the books of history. Though blinded in oblivion, the environmental degradation that has seen the fall of some basic features has some wee bit of ignorance.
It is true that though somebody burned a heap of charcoal and sold it at an astronomical price, the price they are to pay on the environmental effects of the consequences of their actions is far much severe.
What do you say when the once readily available fish consumed with the African cake disappears? Life will never be business as usual, will it?
Elephants desperate of something to eat will come after our toilsome harvest and the lions will lurk behind the bushes waiting for our herds.
Once the tight balance between the humanity and the environment is upset, the aftermath will be one uncontrollable blast that will be of no desire to man.

Ald. Edward Burke (14th), Chicago City Council Finance Committee chairman, said Thursday that the city should contract out city services to private firms, and he added that he is prepared to slash at least $30 million from Mayor Harold Washington`s anticipated $1.9 billion 1986 budget.
Burke said such services as garbage collection, ambulance services, curb and gutter maintenance, and tree trimming and removal could be transferred to private contractors at a savings to the city.
