Coaching Speciality
Ken Kesslin is an executive coach, trainer and facilitator, specializing in leadership development and organizational effectiveness. More than a decade of corporate experience in finance, investment banking, sales and management, as well as fourteen years working as a clinically trained psychotherapist, has given him a unique perspective, one that allows him to help his clients integrate their business and personal goals. He is especially effective in guiding leaders to think strategically and balance their focus on people and profit.
Ken is a gifted listener and trusted confidant. Clients say that his ability to share challenging feedback with care and compassion allows them to hear the truth and motivates them to change. He helps individuals gain deep clarity about their personal purpose and then understand how that clarity can empower their leadership.
Ken is certified in the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), The Leadership Circle Profile 360TM, and The Hay Group's Emotional & Social Competence Inventory (ESCI) 360. Ken co-designed and led two national coach training programs. His clients have included Anglo American Mining, AstraZeneca, Citigroup, Duke Corporate Education, The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, PricewaterhouseCoopers, The US Army, Turner Broadcasting and Yahoo!.
Ken has worked with executive leaders and their teams in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. He speaks fluent Portuguese.
Since working as a Wall Street Investment Banker in the 1980s and then a Clinical Social Worker in the 1990s, I've been combining business experience with people wisdom to support extraordinary leaders for almost 20 years.
Living in Philadelphia for ten years and New York City for twenty years before that, I've met a lot people who think they're great leaders – and a few of them actually are. I've gotten to know who's the real deal and who's not; who's full of potential and who's just full of themselves. In my experience, one thing great leaders value is the truth, especially when it's about them and the things they need to change. So I've developed a fairly sophisticated "BS meter" that I use to save my clients valuable time in their leadership development.
Coaching Approach
So what distinguishes outstanding leaders? Current research points to emotional intelligence as a crucial factor. And the foundation of emotional intelligence is self-awareness. Without that, you're lost as a leader in today's VUCA – volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous – world.
It all starts with self-awareness
I help leaders develop greater self-awareness along with a deeper connection to their soul – to the essence of who they are. If that sounds airy-fairy or New Agey to you, I understand. It sounds that way to me too sometimes. But I know that connecting directly to your essence – the core of who you are – is the most powerful way to generate dramatic and successful change for an individual leader, a team, or an entire organization.
If you know yourself well – you're clear on what motivates you and the future vision you want to create – and you operate with a high degree of self-awareness, you'll produce dramatic results, consistently. The idea is simple; the process of getting there can be challenging.
Leadership can be learned
Since leadership is a set of mindsets and skills that can be developed, everyone has the potential to become an extraordinary leader. Some people have the advantage of innate talent, but that's not required. What is required is a deep commitment to personal growth and change – having the courage and determination to truly become the best possible version of yourself.
My role as a coach is to help you uncover your personal motivation for leadership – your "leadership soul" – and then support you through the challenges of your own development.
Business Background
I have an eclectic business background that includes Financial Services (Investment Banking Analyst & Investment Sales Manager), Healthcare (Adolescent Medicine Clinic Manager), Non-Profit Leadership Development, followed by 20 years running my own Consulting/Coaching company.

Thoughts from Mount Olympus. . . . .
1. The best sport, by far, in the Olympics is women's beach volleyball. That's just a fact. Trust me.
2. Here's the definition of women's beach volleyball: Four incredibly physically fit women in tiny bikinis hugging each other and patting each other on the ass. There might be a net or a ball involved but I'm not sure.
3. Another great Olympic sport is the women's running…..all distances. It's pretty much the same sport as women's beach volleyball without the hugging and ass-patting. There might be a clock involved. I can't remember.
4. Yet another favorite of mine is women's indoor volleyball. There's lots of hugging and ass-patting here, too, but they are not as scantily clad. (Is anybody sensing a pattern here?) Seriously, in this sport, as in all Olympic sports, the athletes are in incredible physical condition and the action is so quick. When one of these very tall young ladies jumps up and spikes the ball towards the ground on the opposite side of the net, the opposing players have about 1/10th of a second to decide how to react. I've seen them dive on the floor with their arm and hand outstretched to reach the ball so that it pops off the back of their hand or wrist up into the air so that a teammate can send it higher into the air and yet another teammate can spike it to the other side. In comparison to this reaction time, an American baseball player would have about 5 seconds to decide whether to swing at a given pitch.
5. In the aforementioned volleyball, a spike of the ball over the net resulting in a point for your team is called a "kill." Mark my words….in our politically correct world, this term will not be used by the time the Olympics roll around again in the year 2000. It will be called a "spike" or a "floor-ball" or some other non-violent term. As evidence, I'll introduce the fact that, some 25 years ago, the American NBA team from Baltimore was the "Baltimore Bullets." At that time, as now, there were a lot of murders in the Washington – Baltimore area. That team is now known as the Washington Wizards.
6. Who was sadist that invented the "balance beam" in gymnastics ?
7. There is a lot of swimming that goes on in the Olympics. I don't watch much of it. I just think that it's crazy that all of these swimmers from all of these countries train for, like, five hours a day and then, when they compete, many of the races are won by thousands-of-a-second. I did see one race where all of the first 5 people to finish were less than a second apart.
8. I do watch running in the Olympics. I've already explained, above, why I watch the women. For the men, I think it's just as crazy as swimming but it seems to me to be natural to run. If we were meant to swim, we'd have fins or webbed feet or gills.
9. There is something that I do find fascinating in the men's running and that is the long distance races. There is a real strategy in those races. You can't run too fast too early or you'll burn out. Likewise, you can't wait too long to make your move or you won't get to the front. Besides admiring the fact that these guys can run that far when I can't run 50 meters, I like to watch the "chess match" that goes on during the race.
10. Before I forget to mention it, I thought the Opening Ceremony was in the top 10 most boring things I've seen on TV in a long time.
11. I saw some of the men's and women's rugby. I can't quite figure out the rules but it is really crazy. It's kind of like American football because you tackle the person with the ball. The difference is that, when the ball-carrier hits the ground, the play is not over. The other team is free to try to rip the ball away from the player on the ground. The player on the ground is free to try to pass the ball backwards, if possible, to a teammate and the action continues. When the ball goes out of bounds on the side, the team that is opposite of the last player to touch it owns the ball. The players line up to defend the in-bounds pass, like in American basketball, but the receiver of the pass can be lifted high up in the air by two of his teammates to catch the ball. It's really fascinating and I think I'd like it even more if I knew the rules. I did notice this oddity among both the men and the women players. They all have what I could call "runners legs." That means they are well muscled but thin, like a runner. Their upper bodies, however, are very thick and heavily muscled like a weightlifter. This, I believe, is because so much of the game is about holding on to the ball when you have it and trying so hard to rip it away from the other player when you don't have it. Like I said, it's fascinating.
12. I didn't watch any boxing. I saw, in passing, that some of the boxers had headgear on but most did not. As long as I can remember, boxing in the Olympics has been for amateurs and head protectors are always worn in amateur boxing. About 20 years ago, the Olympic committee members decided that professional athletes could compete in the Olympics. For instance, in basketball, players from the NBA and WNBA are playing for their respective countries. Maybe, in boxing, they are now allowing professional boxers to compete and maybe the pros don't have to wear headgear. I just don't know.
13. The women's basketball team from the United States won the gold medal this year for the fourth consecutive time. They have won 49 straight games in the Olympics and their all time record is 63 – 3. Their average margin of victory this year was 31 points. That, my friends is called "dominance."
14. Seriously, the Olympics is an incredible event. Imagine the billions of dollars needed to be spent building the facilities to host the event. Imagine, also, the thousand and thousands of people who work to put it together. I'm talking about the athletes that start training when they are 5 years old and the thousands of hours that they train, their parents and trainers and schools that support them both financially and emotionally, the committees in all of the countries that put together the try-outs for the Olympics, the practice games that are put together between countries as a preamble to the Olympics, the travel plans, the housing plans, and on and on. There are always problems at any Olympics but they are usually rather minor. I'm figuratively tipping my cap to everyone involved in putting the Olympics together. I'm also, along with all of the viewers all over the world, giving a standing ovation to the athletes for their incredible sportsmanship and to the entire, epic Olympian endeavor. I can't wait for Tokyo in 2020.
That's it for now. As always, thanks for reading.

Cone Health System, Regional Center for Infectious Disease
The Regional Center for Infectious Disease (RCID) opened in March 2011 in the Wendover Medical Center. RCID provides medical care, research, social work, care management, mental health, substance abuse and dental services for over 1400 people living with HIV in our community. We also serve patients with general infectious disease problems.
To date, we have assisted 600-700 patients with HIV medication assistance through ADAP (AIDS Drug Assistance Program). Currently, we are providing HIV related medications to 315 patients, a total benefit to these patients of approximately $10 million annually. Through the medication assistance program, we are able to reach out to various pharmaceutical companies for assistance with other non-HIV related medications that are not covered through ADAP. RCID has received over $5 million in Ryan White funding since 2005. Also of significance, the Cone Health Foundation has provided over $250,000 in funding for our clinic since 2011.
One important aspect of our research/clinical trials is that patients receive laboratory testing and antiretroviral medications at no cost. The average retail cost of a typical treatment regimen is about $2680/month or $32160 annually. In 2012, the patients on our clinical trials received over $1.5 million in pharmaceutical support. While getting medication at no cost is a substantial benefit, the treatment reduces viremia and thus the spread of HIV. Nearly 10% of RCID's HIV patients were enrolled in research studies last year. Our research division has been awarded over $5 million in funding since its inception.
Memorandum of Understanding is required for internship.

WARSAW (Reuters) - A Polish magazine said on Saturday it had a recording of a private conversation in which the central bank chief told a minister that the bank would be willing to help rescue the government from economic troubles on condition the finance minister was removed.
The weekly Wprost news magazine said it had a recording of a meeting in a Warsaw restaurant last July between central bank governor Marek Belka and Interior Minister Bartlomiej Sienkiewicz. It did not say who recorded their conversation, or how it had obtained the recording.
According to extracts of the audio recording posted on the Internet by the magazine, which have been heard by Reuters reporters and were also emailed to Reuters by Wprost in transcript form, the minister sets out a scenario in which the government could not meet its financial commitments and faced election defeat, and refers in vague terms to monetary policy action carried out elsewhere in Europe - an apparent reference to central bank stimulus.
"Is that precisely the moment for launching this sort of solution, or not?" Sienkiewicz asks Belka.
Belka replies, according to the transcript: "My condition would be the removal of the finance minister."
The finance minister at the time, Jacek Rostowski, was removed last November as part of a cabinet reshuffle.
Repeated calls by Reuters to the mobile telephone number of a central bank spokesman and the interior ministry's press office went unanswered. The government's press office did not pick up calls seeking comment.
It is unclear if Rostowki's departure was in any way connected to the exchange between Belka and Sienkiewicz. Reuters was not immediately able to reach him for comment on Saturday.
Tusk said at the time the changes were to inject new energy into the government, and Rostowski did not publicly object to leaving.
The magazine published a summary of what it said was the conversation between Belka and Sienkiewicz on its website. It said it would publish more details in its next edition on Monday.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Twitter he would comment on the report on Monday.
"Unfortunate business. I don't underestimate it. I will comment on that publicly on Monday at 3 p.m. (1300 GMT) during a news conference," he said.
Poland's central bank is required to be independent of the government, according to a ruling by the Constitutional Tribunal in 2000.
It was not possible to establish from the excerpts whether the two men were talking informally or in serious discussion of the outlines of a potential deal. It is also not known if Belka espoused different views in other parts of the transcript.
Jaroslaw Gowin, who quit his post as justice minister in Tusk's government last year and is now in opposition, said in a Twitter post on Saturday in reference to the Wprost report that Belka and Sienkiewicz should be dismissed. He did not give a reason.
Poland suffered a sharp economic slowdown last year. The government was forced to revise its budget after forecasts for budget revenue proved over-optimistic. Since then, the public finances have improved and the economy is back to robust growth.

HAB Policy 11-06 Retired Given Subsequent Policy Clarifications
HAB Policy 11-06 Retired Given Subsequent Policy Clarifications
From the SPNS Listserv
HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) has posted a dear colleague letter (also presented below) announcing the retirement of HAB Policy 11-06, AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP): Use of Funds, Eligibility, and Formulary Parity, Administration, Quality Assurance and Cost-Savings. This letter also lists existing HAB Policy Clarification Notices that instead address issues related to the implementation and funding of ADAPs.
Recipients with questions regarding this letter should contact their HAB project officers.
Program Letter: Retirement of 11-06 AIDS Drug Assistance Program: Use of Funds, Eligibility and Formulary Parity, Administration, Quality Assurance and Cost-Savings
December 12, 2017
Dear Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Colleagues:
This letter formally announces the retirement of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) policy 11-06 AIDS Drug Assistance Program: Use of Funds, Eligibility and Formulary Parity, Administration, Quality Assurance and Cost-Savings. HAB determined that policy 11-06 is no longer necessary due to the issuance of subsequent Policy Clarification Notices (PCN) and based on the statutory language of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP).
The RWHAP statutory language most pertinent to AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAP) can be found at section 2616 of title XXVI of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. Section 2618(b)(3) of the PHS Act addresses administrative and quality assurance requirements, and section 2622( d) of the PHS Act addresses the treatment of pharmaceutical rebates. The requirement that program funds used for the acquisition of drugs be expended in the most economical manner feasible is codified at 42 C.F.R. § 50.503.
In addition, the following current PCNs address additional clarifications for implementation and funding of ADAPs:
- PCN 16-02 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Services: Eligible Individuals and Allowable Uses of Funds
- PCN 15-04 Utilization and Reporting of Pharmaceutical Rebates
- PCN 13-02 Clarifications on Ryan White Program Client Eligibility Determinations and Recertifications Requirements
- PCN 07-03 Use of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B ADAP Funds for Access. Adherence, and Monitoring Services
- PCN 07-02 Use of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Funds for HIV Diagnostics and Laboratory Tests Policy
Finally, guidance regarding program implementation of ADAP can be found in the ADAP Manual developed by the HRSA HAB Division of State HIV/AIDS Programs.

'The moral case against fossil fuels is rooted in the standard that we should be minimising our impact. And the moral case for fossil fuels questions that at its root. It doesn't just say these windmills are chopping off birds' heads. It says that the whole standard, the whole metric by which we're going to evaluate fossil fuels, is maximising human wellbeing. And when you adopt that standard, you see that there absolutely is a moral case for fossil fuels.'
Alex Epstein, founder of the Center for Industrial Progress and the author of a brilliant, bracing new book, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, makes for a passionate interviewee. He's also got the facts to back up what, in today's green-hued zeitgeist, appears to be an achingly unfashionable argument. But it's true: if the moral standard by which you evaluate fossil-fuel usage is the betterment of human life, then fossil fuels are indisputably a moral good.
As Epstein points out in The Moral Case, 'Today the world uses 39 per cent more oil, 107 per cent more coal, and 131 per cent more natural gas than it did in 1980'. And during that period, the basic measures of human wellbeing have shown marked improvements:
'World life expectancy at birth has gone up from 63 in 1980 to 70 in 2012. The child mortality rate on the planet went down from 115 to 47 per 1,000 live births. Infant mortality declined from 80 to 35 per 1,000 live births in the same time period… Malnutrition, defined by the percentage of children under five with significantly below average weight or height for their age, has been constantly decreasing at a significant rate since 1990. Access to electricity and improved water sources, which are basic indicators for human wellbeing, hygiene, and health in general, went up as well. Developing countries in the sub-Saharan and East Asian region have been particularly impressive; East Asian developing countries now have an average life expectancy at birth of 73 years.There is much credit to be given to industrial-scale energy, primarily from fossil fuels.'
But what's so surprising about the correlation between our colllective ability to produce more and more energy – nearly 90 per cent of which is produced from fossil fuels – and the vast improvements in life expectancy, infant mortality, food provision and so on, is that energy production using fossil fuels has so few champions. A fog of defensiveness even hangs over the fossil-fuel sector itself. It's as if no one can see what to Epstein is blindlngly clear: there is a positive, indeed moral, case to be made for these most unfairly maligned of human resources. They have, in Epstein's words, allowed humanity to flourish, that is, to enlarge our capacity to pursue our desires.

|[feedparser] Security patch
|Wed, 11 Oct 2006 05:50:57 GMT
Hi, I'm a developer on the ROME RSS/Atom parser project (http://rome.dev.java.net/). We were recently notified of a possible security issue in our code (http://www.somebits.com/weblog/tech/bad/xmlCode.html), which we've fixed. I'm aware that FeedParser is a dormant project, but the attached patch will fix the same problem in the Apache-Commons project version. I've also attached updated FeedParserImpl.java suitable for using with Kevin's TailRank version (http://tailrank.com/code.php) (Hi Kevin!) SAXBuilder.java is needed for both versions. There is also an example RSS file which triggers the bug. (You'll need some kind of monitoring tool to check for connections to example.com on port 80). Hopefully someone will find these useful. Regards Nick Lothian firstname.lastname@example.com

Zimbabwe land seizure catastrophic
10 April 2000
Zimbabwe land seizure 'catastrophic'
By FWi staff
THE seizure of white farms in Zimbabwe is "potentially catastrophic" for the countrys financial institutions, reports The Times
Turmoil in Zimbabwe is being blamed for the decline in the value of currency in neighbouring South Africa, says the paper.
The Daily Telegraph says squatters have launched a "new wave of violence" against Zimbabwes white farmers, occupying 10 farms 150 miles north of Harare.
According to The Independent, intimidation is now spreading beyond white-owned farms to the countrys Asian businesses.
But Clare Short, Britains International Development Secretary, has rejected claims that Westminster is neglecting the crisis, says the paper.

Downtown carriage drivers file lawsuit against restaurant ordinance.
By Mary Cashiola
Felicia Williams has only had her carriage driver's license for the past month. And if a temporary injunction is overturned, she'll only need it for another month.
After filing a lawsuit in Chancery Court last week, Memphis carriage companies were granted a reprieve from the city ordinance that restricts them from parking within 100 feet of a restaurant. Chancellor D.J. Alissandratos issued a temporary injunction -- in place until at least the middle of August -- against enforcement of the ordinance enacted after some restaurants complained about the smell.
So far, the carriage companies have raised about $13,000 for their legal fund, partly by going door-to-door. Even though Williams hasn't been a driver for long, she's been out canvassing -- on horseback -- through Harbor Town and the South Bluffs for the past two months. "I had a friend who was a carriage driver," she says. "I had just moved back from Wisconsin and wanted to help."
Instead of asking for donations, she and four other people are selling certificates for carriage rides and telling people about the law.
"Ninety-nine percent of the people I talk to are appalled," she says. "They can't imagine Memphis without carriages."
But according to American Chariot owner David Sydnor, that's what will happen if the city's ordinance is allowed to stand as is. He says the carriages will be relegated to Hernando and Fourth, spots that will put them out of business. "One company has already gone out of business. They've given up. Another one's about to give up," he says. Having received calls from people in other places wanting him to bring the carriages to their cities, Sydnor says the carriage companies would be welcomed at cities in South Carolina, Arkansas, and "anywhere in Florida."
No matter where the carriage companies go, if they go, it's unlikely they'll run into another restaurant ordinance. Mike Miller is a carriage operator in Minnesota and the president of the Carriage Operators of North America (CONA). Miller has heard of city ordinances governing where carriages can park at certain times of the day due to traffic. But one about parking in front of restaurants? Never.
"This one took me by surprise," says Miller. "It just doesn't happen. There are bigger cities with more carriage companies, and I've never heard of anything like that."
More often, Miller gets calls from hotels and restaurants that want carriage companies to park near their businesses. "It gives the place an ambience. That's what they're looking for."
Although Miller doesn't think the lawsuit will have repercussions on the carriage industry nationwide, he drafted an e-mail to the group's members earlier this week reminding them to clean up their horses' messes "ASAP" to prevent further problems.
"Cleanliness is a must for carriage companies," he says. If a city has just one carriage company that is lax in their horses' hygiene, it will cause problems for all of them.
Originally started because of difficulties with insurance companies in the 1980s, CONA helps lobby for carriage operators' rights but has no plans yet to step in here.
"We've got to be so squeaky-clean it would make the average person sick ... literally," Miller says.
Local businesses continue
to struggle with trolley construction.
By Chris Davis
"Business has picked up some, but we are still down by at least a full 25 percent," says James Dempsey Sr., owner of Stewart Brothers' Hardware, which has operated at the corner of Madison and Cleveland since 1937. "I get calls from people every day saying that they were going to come down but they just think it's too hazardous."
And just why do people think it's too hazardous? Because in spite of efforts to keep Stewart Brothers' parking lot open to the public, trolley construction has made driving down Madison an "extremely confusing and frustrating situation."
The filth kicked up from the construction has also turned Stewart Brothers' white awning the color of red clay. "I don't think [MATA's] going to pay for that," Dempsey says.
"At the meetings MATA held for us, there was a lot of emotion and people trying to calm us down," says Overstuffed Deli owner Sandi Degasperis of encounters between MATA officials and angry Madison Avenue business owners. "We assumed they were going to help more."
MATA did no studies on the economic impact of trolley construction on Madison Avenue businesses before beginning construction. No funds were put aside for assistance, and no assistance programs were put into place. Other cities facing similar situations with transit construction have plans in place to assist construction-besieged businesses, ranging from marketing assistance to low-interest loans.
To appease the angry business owners, MATA has been forced to find ways to help them, though there is no budget allocation for such aid. Most of the assistance has come in the form of advertising.
"We've done everything we said we'd do for them," says marketing director Vanessa Jones. We've advertised on radio, in the Flyer and the Downtowner. We're doing something with The Commercial Appeal."
Though MATA initially claimed that it would not use bus advertising to promote businesses, Jones says that MATA is working with the Thompson & Company agency to create a campaign for Madison Avenue businesses.
"We're spending $10,000 to do that," Jones says. The campaign will include interior bus cards on all buses and large exterior banners on 50 buses. The theme is "Business As Usual On Madison."
"We're also working with Malco theaters," Jones says, "running [slide advertisements] before the movies."
But advertising is not necessarily the primary concern of business owners. They just want to see the project, designed to link downtown with the Medical Center, completed on time. Letters delivered to businesses in December claimed that the trolley would be finished this month, but according to Jones, there have been some delays.
MATA's Tom Fox notes that between Main and Second streets, there has been a work delay while MATA coordinates joint efforts between Memphis Light, Gas and Water and Hill Brothers contractors. Fox did not know exactly how this would affect existing deadlines.
Tobacco Bowl owner Richard Alley is doubtful that the project will be completed by the end of July.
"They went three weeks without doing any [work]," Alley says. "For the last three months, it's like nothing has happened. Maybe a week here and a week there but really nothing."
Transportation panel's recommendations will come at a high price.
By Janel Davis
Last week's child-care transportation safety report could mean financial difficulties for Joe Ann Wheeler and her daycare center.
Ellis Grove Learning Center transports 30 to 40 of the 70 children enrolled there. Throughout its seven-year existence, the center has transported the children in the 15-passenger vans commonly used in the daycare industry. But with the proposed new regulations, those vans will no longer be acceptable for transporting children. The proposal includes a January 1, 2005, deadline for all child-care providers to be licensed by the Department of Human Services (DHS) to use vehicles that meet federal motor-safety standards, such as school buses, which have been deemed the safest way to transport children.
The change causes problems for centers that use the cheaper vans. "I'm like a lot of other daycares," says Wheeler. "We're still paying notes on our three [original] vans. That's going to be hard, not only on this daycare but on other daycares also, to turn around and buy new vans."
Wheeler thinks the safety committee may be focusing on the wrong problems. "It's not the van," she says. "It's the person [driving it]."
The safety committee was appointed by Governor Don Sundquist following an April 4th accident in Memphis that left four children and a daycare-van driver dead. The committee researched and made recommendations on child-care transportation throughout Tennessee.
Committee member Jane Walters has heard arguments like Wheeler's before. "The National Transportation Safety Board has already replied to that. All we have recommended is what federal law is requiring of Head Start," she says. "These vans do have a record of accidents. I am not naive enough to think that the person driving has no influence on that. This is federal law, and it will eventually work its way down. We did not do this arbitrarily."
The panel also proposed that all vehicles carrying four or more children have a monitor on board in addition to the driver. Both drivers and monitors will be required to meet Head Start and CPR training standards, and a transportation limit will be imposed on the distance children can be transported to cut down on time spent in the vans. The DHS can carry out these guidelines, and legislators will vote on another recommendation that requires drivers to have a commercial driver's license and undergo annual physical and mental examinations.
State Representative Kathryn Bowers, who has been actively involved in child-care legislation, would like to see daycare providers taken out of the transportation business entirely. Her proposal includes contracting out the services or providing public-transportation vouchers for clients to get to the centers. She sees the panel's report and the governor's recommendations as steps in the right direction but says, "I'm still a little concerned about the requirements of buses that will be needed. [The providers] have until 2005, but they still have to purchase new buses."
"There are some things in [the report] that I think common sense dictates," says Walters. "Even though it doesn't directly involve transportation, it was difficult for me to get around the fact that it's much more difficult to open a bar than it is to open a daycare center in terms of responsibility of owners and investigation ... and that gives me pause."
The DHS is scheduled to hold public meetings on the proposed standards and make a decision on the changes soon afterward.

The Church counts some 35 million members and until very recently maintained the use of the ancient Ge'ez language for the liturgy, although many parishes now prefer to use Amharic, the main language of modern day Ethiopia.
The Orthodox Church is part of the International Mixed Commission for Theological Dialogue with the Catholic Church which meets annually, alternating between Rome and one of the countries represented by the seven Orthodox members. Relations with the Catholic Church were significantly strengthened under the previous Patriarch, Abuna Paulos, who met with Pope John Paul II ion 1993, with Pope Benedict in 2009 and in that same year, also addressed the special Synod of Bishops for Africa as an ecumenical guest. In January 2012 the members of the Mixed Commission were warmly welcomed to Addis Abeba by Abuna Paulos, who died suddenly later in the year.
Abuna Mathias, who lived in exile for three decades during the communist dictatorship of Mengistu Haile Mariam, was elected as head of the Church three years ago, on February 28th, 2013.

Hey there everyone. While I'm soaking up the sun, I want to introduce you to our first guest poster! Raewyn's blog is one of my faves, and I was super excited when she offered to do a guest post. Today she's going to talk to you all about finding your dream in college. Make sure to show her blog some love!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello! My name is Raewyn and I blog over at Be a Warrior Queen!
I'm one of those people that can be loud and in your face, but in the most loveable way ever. I try my best to always be happy and find the positive. My blog is one part being positive and another part starting a movement. I want to start a magazine to empower young women and girls to be themselves unashamedly. I graduated university in 2012, but attended 4 different colleges to get there! I have a pick up truck named Chuck the Truck; my favorite clothes are 1950s inspired and I drink tea like it's going out of business. I'm engaged to my best friend of ten years and we're getting married in a few weeks! I would love if you'd stop by my blog and we could become the best of friends!
I'm one of those rare people who knew what she wanted to do before she went to college. In fact, I chose my major for the sole purpose of following my dream - although I knew I was not going to be looking for a job in my major field after college.
I began my journey at The Ohio State University studying Journalism. I toyed with a lot of ideas for minors. Then I moved back home to California and attended a community college for a year thanks to the Golden Standards. [Apparently, to get into a California public university you must take philosophy and public speaking...blah]. I finished my journalism degree at one of the Cal State Universities.
|High school me, forever in the journalism classroom
So what makes me qualified to write a post about finding your dream while in college?
I'm going to go with the fact that I went through a lot of self-discovery in college and I am sure that you are, as well.
|The girls I met slash lived with freshman year in the dorms
College is full of nagging voices in your head telling you to do this to be cool, do this to get good grades and major in this to get a good job. It can get a little overwhelming. But if you take a moment to quiet those voices and self-reflect, you can be on the path to achieving your dreams.
Take a lot of different classes your freshman and sophomore year. So you think that you want to be pre-med and you have a ton of pre-requisites to take and extra classes just seem like way too much to add to your plate. I understand. But what if you realize pre-med isn't for you after two years?
It's harder to get into entry level classes when you're a junior or senior. It's harder to adjust in those classes, too. So each semester [or quarter...I love quarters!!], add one or two classes of something that intrigues you. It might push back your pre-requisite date by a semester or two. Isn't that so much better than getting two years into a major and then having to start all over again?
|Welcome Week at Ohio State
In the first week of school go to the club fair and attend at least one meeting of all of the groups that interest you! You could find a club that's all about giving back, totally fall in love and end up with a sociology major! This is also a great way to make friends [obviously!]
Talk to your friends. Exploring your options is amazing, and discovering yourself through conversations with friends is even better! Getting to know someone's passions, might make you interested in it, too! I can't tell you how many of my friends have done Journalism or communications because I've taken them to concert interviews with me.
|Press passes to Warped Tour
The most important parts of finding your dreams are listening to yourself and exposing yourself to new experiences!

Breast Physics
Here's some serious scholarship on the state of T&A in today's videogames. My favorite passage:
Nowadays, you almost wouldn't bother to ship a game without some kind of T&A angle; serious people use the phrase "breast physics� without irony. Female leads are common—and if they tend heavily, if not exclusively, toward an adolescent bondage-fantasy aesthetic, well… is "fetish pinup ninja� not an improvement on "kidnapped girlfriend?�
Do I really have to choose? Why can't I have both?

Establishment of a consortium for the creation of services aimed at "gap seniors"
(frail elderly people with a gap between what they can do and what they want to do )
The Japan Research Institute, Limited (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Junsuke Fujii; JRI) will this October establish Gap Senior Consortium with the mission of creating services aimed at "gap seniors", frail elderly people who are not in full health but not yet dependent on care.
The consortium will seek to establish a platform based on collaboration between private business enterprises and local governments, for the provision of a wide range of support services to "gap seniors", who experience problems in daily life, or become unable to do the things they would like to do, owing to illness or deteriorating physical strength. The participants in the consortium are due to include private business enterprises providing lifestyle support services to the elderly, such as The Consumer Co-operative Kobe, Duskin Co., Ltd., House Foods Group Inc.., Internet Infinity Inc., Keikyu Corporation, Kumon Learning Therapy Co., Ltd., and SMS Co., Ltd., as well as social welfare corporations providing care and medical services. A number of local government bodies that are pursuing older person-friendly community development through the expansion of services are also due to participate.
With a view to commencing provision of services from fiscal 2015, the consortium will conduct research into the needs of gap seniors and ideas for services to meet those needs, in three or more locations around Japan (one location or more in each of the Kanto, Tokai and Kansai regions, etc.), and establish a platform preparatory organization by the end of March 2015.
Aiming to create services, etc. that will help to prevent gap seniors from becoming dependent on care
When elderly people begin to find that, owing to illness or deteriorating physical strength, there is a gap between what they would like to do and what they are able to do, they tend to become resigned to the fact, and to scale back their own expectations. If they continue to hold back in this way, the range of things they are able to do becomes further reduced, and many eventually become dependent on care.
The number of elderly people in this category, at high risk of becoming dependent on care (corresponding to "people qualifying for the Secondary Prevention Project" under the Public Long-term Care Insurance System, and elderly people certified as requiring support level 1 or 2), is increasing rapidly. By 2025 gap seniors are expected to account for around 40% of all elderly people in Japan, an estimated 10 million people.
These elderly people will be designated as "gap seniors", and the consortium will seek to create services that help to improve physical and mental functioning, adjust living environments, and resolve the problems that gap seniors experience in everyday life, enabling them to maintain their role and position in the home, the community and society, and to continue enjoying a high quality of life.
Starting to use these services early on will help elderly people to remain independent and ambitious in what they would like to do, and to continue to be active in the community and in society, thus delaying the onset of dependence on care. Even if an elderly person's condition deteriorates, continuing to make use of appropriate services, as their condition requires, can help them to continue to live life their own way, and to enjoy a high quality of life. In this way, if the number of elderly people who are able to avoid becoming dependent on care (or to improve and maintain their quality of life in the event that they do become dependent on care) increases, it will be possible to achieve greater efficiency in the supply of care in the future.
Building a framework for the coordination of service provision based on collaboration between private business enterprises and local governments
Until now, support for gap seniors has mainly taken the form of services provided under the Public Long-term Care Insurance System. However, owing in part to financial constraints, there are limits to the ability of support provided under the Public Long-term Care Insurance System alone to meet all of the diverse needs of the rapidly increasing number of gap seniors, and there is a need for expansion of services provided by private business enterprises, rather than under the Public Long-term Care Insurance System.
However, although demand is expected to see a very large increase, little progress has been made in the expansion of services provided by private business enterprises. One important reason is that the physical and mental conditions and the lifestyles of gap seniors are so diverse that individual providers are unable to fully grasp their needs. Another issue is that, if the condition of gap seniors deteriorates, their frequency of contact with other people, access to the media and visits to stores declines, and it becomes more difficult to inform them of services.
The consortium will therefore create a coordination framework, within which not only community general support centers and care service providers, but also lifestyle service providers, retailers, railroad operators, etc., will serve as contact points for gap seniors, and provide links to a wide variety of services for gap seniors. Specifically, platforms based on collaboration between local governments and private business enterprises will be established in each community, information on needs and service usage will be shared, needs will be analyzed, services will be developed, provided and evaluated, and information will be provided to gap seniors.
On the basis of these platforms, local governments will use healthcare professionals and co-medical staff to support core aspects of the lives of gap seniors in the community in general, while private business enterprises will provide finely tuned services, tailored to the lifestyles of individual gap seniors and the things they would like to do, enhancing the quality of life of gap seniors, and making it easier to stimulate their own desire to live their lives to the full and avoid becoming dependent on care.
Outline of the Gap Senior Consortium's activities
Private enterprises and local government bodies participating in the Gap Senior Consortium will conduct research into the needs of gap seniors and ideas for services to meet those needs, and will establish a platform preparatory organization.
Content of activities
To provide needs-driven services for gap seniors through public-private collaboration, private enterprises that provide services designed to support the lifestyles of elderly people will work with three or more communities around Japan (one or more in each of the Kanto, Tokai and Kansai regions, etc.), and will aim to create services for gap seniors while continuing to expand the number of participating members. The specific content of the consortium's activities will be as follows:
Gathering knowledge and information relating to the needs of gap seniors and ideas for services to meet those needs
- Conducting research into the conditions and needs of gap seniors
- Developing services designed for gap seniors
Creating business models based on public-private collaboration and formulating policy proposals
- Creating business schemes in each community
- Identifying systemic issues to be resolved if business models are to function, and formulating policy proposals
Period of activity
October 2014 to March 2015
Consortium participants
Participants in the consortium will include social welfare corporations and local government bodies, together with private business enterprises from a range of industries and categories, such as the Consumer Co-operative Kobe, Duskin Co., Ltd., House Foods Group Inc., Internet Infinity Inc., Keikyu Corporation, Kumon Learning Therapy Co., Ltd., and SMS Co., Ltd., which will all contribute to the project in their own areas of expertise.

Welcome, Guest
Aliens Angels - Aliens Gods. UFO - it ships the Gods, the UFO in the scriptures.
The creators of mankind. UFOs are gods, this UFO ships of the gods. Aliens in the religions and religion - it is the gods. UFO in the scriptures. UFO religion.
Aliens God - Elohim.
Aliens - it's gods. ufo buddha, ufo, Buddhism, Hinduism UFO. In Hindu and Buddhist temples have enough frescoes with the Higher World events, they have it all divine, the gods descended from heaven on his chariot, is represented very advanced and intelligent people who know the truth, I am the way, too, for it is because there they have everything neatly, and nothing does not deny, on the contrary everything is divine. Aliens - it's the gods and the angels of God. In the Bible, there is an interesting place, where it is mentioned about some aircraft. For example, mention is made of how Ezekiel saw "wheel" that raised him to the other, the upper wheel (Ezekiel 1, 16). Those. One UFO rose in Ezekiel another UFO. And it was not just knowledge, it was the reality. In the Book of Revelation says that when the world is close to the transition state, a city (Rev. 21, 2-27) will appear in the sky. There is likely to question about the mother ship. All this is very interesting and makes us think about the fact that man was created by the Higher World, not on different theories of simian origin. Also this hint and ancient frescoes and pyramids found on the Moon and Mars, also a skull found on Mars. And by the way Christ had no such pride, as the conversations that apart from him, there are no gods, plus he did not say that if you want to attack and kill, then turn the other cheek, to kill this people have come up with. The man fell not very highly developed, people used a lot that they could, and walked on the water and flew and did not even grow old, and then it's all taken away, because too spiteful man. The ships on a fresco in the Temple. Gods from ships. Such phenomena Altitude portrayed very smart people who have been on the knowledge higher than some people today, even in the same spirit the modern world, they showed a lot of truth. Such Higher World events have always been, and to deny it, then show that person and not on a high level of spiritual development, man is not the crown of nature, since only does it destroy the planet as such a creature could ever be the crowning of the Earth, a man was taken away a lot of skills because it is not very committed to the mission of goodwill and the High Peace realized that people in the world will be consuming a lot.
A pile of artifacts found in the world speaks about it, the ancient cults Mayan and Sumerian and other tribes are also associated with aliens, Hinduism or Buddhism is Gods in Hinduism generally said that the gods were moving on their chariots, ie UFO, then you can look at the desert Nazca and the Egyptian pyramids, where inside there is a picture of ships and even Gods, various frescoes have with images of ships, rock paintings ancient ships, and it is only minuscule of what can cause that people have created aliens, it fact, even some scientists confirm this.
diezelsun, diezel sun, aliens angels, aliens gods, bible about aliens, UFOs in the Bible, the Bible of UFOs, extraterrestrials in the Bible, in Orthodoxy UFO, UFO in scripture, the church of the aliens, the second coming of aliens, UFOs in Catholicism, aliens angels, aliens gods ,bible about aliens, diezel sun, diezelsun ,extraterrestrials in the bible, orthodoxy ufo, the bible of ufos, ufo in scripture, ufos in the bible

I saw that we now rent the new Lomo'Instant Automat Glass Magellan camera. I asked if I could test it out and Mike said I could and that I had to write a review. This is one of the newer bodies that Lomography has produced for the Fuji Instax Mini film. I decided to see how it could possibly out preform my Hello Kitty instant mini camera. Beyond the sleek packaging this camera has a lot to offer in terms of capability. It allows for more creativity with its multi exposure feature, letting you take as many exposures your heart desires, a bulb option for long exposure shots, exposurecontrol to let you darken or lighten your image, and my favorite feature the flash disabling function. Almost all other instant mini cameras use flash on all exposures with no ability to turn it off. The reason why I find this option so valuable is because I value the temperature of light, I want my sunsets to look orange and my bright skies to be blue.
After I tested out the flash/no flash feature I moved onto the double exposure option. It worked beautifully and the results were better than expected.
Next I tried out the accessories that were included with the kit. Specifically the macro lens option and via a happy accident I came up with one of my favorite ongoing series. Originally the macro lens is meant to be used for close up images but when I accidentally left it on to take a far away shot I received the most beautiful out of focus image that showed a lot yet revealed nothing. It reminded me of this technique I learned in art school when judging the composition and balance of a painting, cross your eyes. By gently doing so you have everything blurred out except for blocks of color. To me this looks like a memory at its final stages when the mind has decomposed its details into a blur. It also reminds me of how things look like when I'm tired beyond belief, when my mind doesn't want to overwhelm me with information keeping only the most important elements; shape and color.
Beyond that the camera uses actual glass in its lens that warrants sharper more detailed captures. With a high aperture of 4.5-the highest of any instant camera ever- it performs insanely well under low light conditions which again allow me to not use flash and really create color that is true to life.
By the way, this is a rental item that you can rent before you buy! If you do rent it and then buy it with in 30 days, we will take the rental fee paid off the cost of the purchase. You can find it here, under the "Film Cameras"

A wet Bank Holiday Monday – what are the chances? And our 'baby' turns 5 today. We should feel more celebratory. It's not even the weather's fault entirely.
We went to the party yesterday afternoon and it was okay. Kids loved playing in the massive garden. DH seemed okay until we got home and then the black cloud positively crashed down on him – he's fed up with making an effort, everything's false etc.
I don't know why it upsets me so much, I suppose that I thought he might actually enjoy himself and although he looked as if he was, he was clearly making a massive effort to socialise. I suppose the effort takes its toll on everyone – I went to bed before the kids as I was just exhausted, sad, angry, drained. I don't know if he's ever going to get past this and I don't think I want to go out with him because he hates it. And I can't be bothered to fight any more. We don't have a social life as a couple anyway and now I really believe that that ship has sailed.
It's days like this that I can't foresee a positive future. And that is even more depressing than the rain.

Tim Nicolaije (1983) is a PhD student at the University of Twente, Department of Science, Technology and Policy Studies (STePS). He took his BSc (Hons.) at University College Utrecht, where he majored in physics and astronomy. Having become interested in the history of science during the course of these studies, he completed his undergraduate training in 2005 with a thesis on the different historical views on Isaac Newton's alchemical practices. Hereafter he entered the master's programme History and Philosophy of Science at the Institute for History and Foundations of Science at Utrecht University. In 2007 he received his MSc (cum laude) with a thesis on the reception of Pierre Simon Laplace's nebular hypothesis in early-nineteenth-century British thought.
Together with Arjen Dijkstra he currently participates in the NWO-funded project "The Uses of Mathematics in the Dutch Republic", which is supervised by Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis. This project aims at creating a basis for a cultural approach towards the history of (Dutch) mathematics. Tim's PhD research focuses on mapping out the various networks of mathematical practitioners in the Dutch Republic. Who engaged in mathematical activities and why? How were such activities valued by themselves and by society? In which circles could such practitioners be found and in what ways did these kinds of groups influence each other? This will not only include those who were professionally occupied with mathematics, but also the "amateurs" who in some way or another dealt with mathematics. This research tries to provide a description of the heterogeneous field of mathematics in the Dutch Republic, wherein the cultural significance of mathematical practices, rather than the body of mathematical ideas itself, will provide the perspective.
Tim's other research interests include science and religion, science and literature, history of astronomy, and Isaac Newton.
