The City of Bloomington Downtown Task Force, approved Monday evening by aldermen, will look at economic development, infrastructure, and more, according to the task force chair. Amelia Buragas, who also serves as Ward 1 Alderman, said during Sound Ideas that it's important to keep in mind what the task force will not do.
"What it is not going to do is redo efforts that have already been done," said Buragas. "So we have master plans in place. We have recommendations for what downtown needs to be truly successful and fully revitalized and an asset not only to our community but to our region."
Buragas said it's really more about priorities and strategy. The task force will look at those master plan recommendations and determine what can be accomplished now, in the mid-term and long term. As chair, she said she'll also work to bring in groups not represented on the task force."
"The Historic Preservation Commission. Obviously that is a huge and core part of our downtown is maintaining our historic properties and enhancing them further. That would be one group we intend to and will reach out to," said Buragas.
In addition to Buragas, two other council members are on the task force: Ward 1 Alderman Jamie Mathy and Ward 9 Alderman Kim Bray. Other task force members include McLean County Board Member Carlo Robustelli whose district encompasses downtown; Justin Boyd who serves on the city's planning commission; Downtown Bloomington Association Executive Director Trisha Stiller, and 3 downtown property owners.
Mathy, who is also a downtown business owner expressed concern about infrastructure revitalization, citing the extensive work at the beginning of the Uptown Normal redevelopment which he said caused some business to close.
"So I want to make sure that we're very thoughtful and considerate and have a plan to communicate with building owners and business owners and work with them on how they can stay open during this period of time," said Mathy.
Mayor Tari Renner, who joined Buragas on Sound Ideas said he doubted the nature of the construction in Downtown would be as extensive or cause the same kind of long term disruption as in Uptown Normal.
A first report is due August. 31 with a final report expected before the end of the year. Buragas said that she'd prefer all options in the various plans the task force would examine to be on the table as to not cut off discussion.

What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome? »
Polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, affects a woman's menstrual cycle and fertility. Watch this video to get details on its causes, symptoms, and more.

Polycystic ovary syndrome, commonly known as PCOS, is THE most common hormonal disorder in women. Affecting 5 to 7 million American women, PCOS occurs when the ovaries and adrenal glands produce EXCESS male hormones, or androgens. These hormones interfere with ovulation - instead of eggs being released each month, they build up in small, pearl-sized cysts in the ovaries. The first sign of PCOS is usually irregular or absent menstruation. Other signs include acne, abnormal facial and body hair growth, and thinning of the hair that resembles male-pattern balding. Because ovulation is irregular in women with PCOS, they often have a hard time getting pregnant naturally. In addition to infertility, PCOS puts women at increased risk for metabolic syndrome, sleep apnea, weight gain, heart disease and some cancers. Doctors aren't sure what's behind PCOS, but they do know it's hereditary. They also think it may be connected to insulin resistance, which is common in women with PCOS. Insulin resistance causes an elevated level of insulin in the bloodstream, which increases the risk for type 2 diabetes and makes the ovaries overproduce androgens, triggering and worsening PCOS symptoms. Doctors diagnose PCOS with a physical exam, blood test and a pelvic ultrasound. They must eliminate the possibility of other hormonal disorders before arriving at a final diagnosis. There are a few lifestyle changes you can make to RELIEVE PCOS symptoms, regulate your menstrual cycle and possibly regain fertility. First of all, women with PCOS should eat a balanced diet and EXERCISE-it's the FIRST recommendation doctors will make for PCOS. A simple 5 percent weight loss can ease many symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. There are several medications women can take to treat PCOS and its effects, as well. They include birth control pills, fertility medications and anti-androgens - watch more videos in this series for details.More »

... Jobs require a TB test and when I present them with my doctors letter saying I'm ok to work around others, they seem to not call me back and or say they don't have any current clients for me to work with. What is so ironic is that I think I got the Latent TB from a former client with a company that did not test the clients. Most health care jobs test employees yet seem to be ok with clients being contagious to the employees. They claim its a FL law, they cannot ask clients for that personal info. Will I ever be able to get a healthcare job in the field I'm passionate for with this life long label? I will never pass a TB test!

You can't have a tb test, you'll react every time, but they are supposed to then do a chest xray. You should be able to work with a neg chest. Its federal law they can't ask patients this stuff, I have a problem with it to, going out and drawing blood from patients, I thought it was only right that they should have to tell us they had things like aids or hep. Luckily most people have a sense of what's right and will tell you. There was a time when all patients were tested for syphillis and had a chest xray when they went to the hospital, now we are put in danger. They say we're not because we're supposed to use universal precautions with everyone. I haven't figured out yet how that totally protects us. Rubber gloves don't stop needle sticks. And we don't wear masks. Particularly not ones with a hepa filter.
Thanks for the answer. The agencies I've been in contact with say I have to take a TB test, so I can't telling them I have it because I have to tell them I can't pass it and have to show a chest xray. My issue is even with the clear chest xray the whole thought still freaks these companies out and they run the opposite direction. Makes me just want to totally get out of this field. I work with the elderly as a care companion, but my health at this point is more important, its already been in trouble once before dealing with all this. Florida is a filthy place lots of foreigners coming and bringing disease... my doctor treating me is from another country and told me SHE also has latent TB but was never treated because it was so long ago. I know you could get it from sitting next to someone on an airplane that's coughing long enough, which we can't totally control, but if I'm forcing myself to work in close quarters with people whose health is private, if I can't wear gloves and a mask I might as well plan on catching something else...

David Kim
David Kim was born as the youngest of three sons of a Korean pastor and a nurse who came to
Germany in the late
1970's. Accordingly, he grew up in a Christian home. However, it was not not until he was 16 that he personally met Christ at a Korean-German youth retreat called Juenger Jesu (Disciples of Jesus). After graduating from High-School David left his hometown to study Theology at the Giessen School of Theology (Freie Theologische Hochschule). Around this time he also joined the leadership team of the Juenger Jesu ministry. During his master's degree he attended an exchange programm to Talbot School of Theology in California where he could deepen his theological knowledge but also had the chance to enlarge his vision by serving at a fast growing Korean-American church in Anaheim. David received his master's degree in 2011 and returned to his hometown Aachen to serve alongside his father at Yehyang All Nations Church. His father had planted Yehyang All Nation Church in 1980 since there was a growing number of Korean students at the University of Aachen which was especially famous for its engeneering department. Also Aachen was one of the first cities where Korean coal miners came to in the 1970 -1980's. By the new millenium there were a number of second generation Koreans who were by then University students. With a team who already attended the Yehyang Church David started a German- English service to reach out to the second generation Koreans and to German friends. In 2013 David moved to Frankfurt and started serving at the Frankfurt CityChurch to be trained as a church planter. His parents moved to Swaziland in 2014 to assist planting the Swaziland Christian University and to servw at the Immanuel Bible College in South Africa. The Frankfurt CityChurch was founded in 2007 by Pastor Bodo Park who also became David's mentor. From the beginning the CityChurch had the greater vision tob e part in a movement to revive Frankfurt and its surrounding by planting multiple new churches. One of the key targets was to reach out to unchurched poeple and invite them every Sunday to accept Jesus as saviour. In September 2016 David finished his training at CityChurch and is now planting the next church in Frankfurt Bockenheim together with Pastor Brian Weaver. As a team they want to join God in His work in Frankfurt and gather friends with the same vision. They want to plant a church that brings new life to the people in Bockenheim and a church that equips and disciples them to enlarge God's kingdom in Germany.

Best Deals to Singapore Last modified: Sep 23, 2018 3:22 -04:00Prices shown were found by travelers like you over the past 30 days
We've scanned 48,195,047,545 round trip itineraries and found the cheapest flights to Singapore. AirAsia & Thai AirAsia frequently offer the best deals to Singapore flights, or select your preferred carrier below to see the cheapest days to fly.
Singapore continues to thrive as one of the world's leading financial and business centers, as well as one of Southeast Asia's most popular tourist destinations.
The capital city has grown exponentially in a relatively short period of time, and it now plays host to visitors from all over the world. In order to keep travelers coming back, Singapore continues to blend local history and culture with international influences. The result is a city that has something to offer for everyone, whether you're a fast-food junkie, an epicure, a history buff, a lover of the arts, an architecture aficionado, or someone who's just really into street fairs.MORE
Singapore Attractions
Singapore is small, relatively speaking, but its size is not proportionate to the number of things you can do there. Its strategic location at the mouth of the Malacca Strait has attracted visitors dating back as far as the 14th century. And it's managed to attract them back over and over. Read about some of Singapore's most popular spots andbelow.
Marina Bay
Marina Bay functions almost as a city-within-a-city. If you stay at a hotel in the Marina Bay section of town, you could get by without ever leaving the area. Spend your days in conversation at a patio cafe or doing a bit of high-end shopping. At night, head to one of the multiple celebrity-chef-owned restaurants, and then take in a bit of theatre. You can catch a Broadway hit, a purely local show, or something in between. If you're feeling lucky, take off after the show and make your way to the tables at the Marina Bay Sands Casino.
The Helix Bridge
Linking Marina Bay to Marina Centre, the Helix Bridge stands as the longest "pedestrian link-way" in Singapore. Perhaps more importantly, it's the first bridge in the world to feature the "double helix" structure. It stands both as a symbol of the "renewal of life" and as an architectural marvel for the region. As you make your way across the Helix Bridge, stop at one of the viewing platforms to get a panoramic view of the skyline and a stunning view of the Bay.
Orchard Road
Orchard Road is a destination for food-lovers and shopping enthusiasts. This retail enclave is home to just about every type of restaurant and store you could ever hope for. Orchard Road also plays a major part in annual festivals an celebrations such as Christmas in the Tropics, so you can often get caught up in street carnivals, live music, and more.
Singapore Restaurants and Shopping
Along with Marina Bay and Orchard Road, you'll also find food and shopping havens in the Clarke Quay area, Little India and in Chinatown.
Clarke Quay rests on the banks of the Singapore River, making it the perfect spot to spend an evening outside, just taking in the city. If you want to head indoors, you'll find a collection of bars, restaurants, and nightclubs open for business.
Little India is a must for foodies. This quirky neighborhood lies just east of the Central Business District (CBD) and gives Singapore a splash of color and liveliness. Walk down Serangoon Road and grab a bite to eat - you'll find Indian cuisine dishes from the Old World and the New.
Along with a seemingly endless selection of places to eat, Chinatown also plays host to a number of festivals throughout the year. One of the most popular being the the Chinese New Year Festival that sees the area transform into a vast market filled with vendors, street performers, acrobats, and more.
Flights to Singapore
Singapore Changi International Airport serves over 80 international airlines with service to 200 cites in 60 countries. Several major U.S. cities offer cheap flights to Singapore, so finding a flight (and an occasional deal) shouldn't be too difficult. Along with being a travel hub, the airport also serves as one of Singapore's major retail outlets.LESS

This page answers some of the more common questions that seem to come up in the course of folks moving to Mumbai. We came in the summer of 2007 and had these questions, concerns, and observations as well, so I thought it would be good to document them all in one place. Many of them are cut-and-pasted from emails and discussion boards that we've participated in. Naturally these will be much more accurate for people who come to work at the American School Bombay, as other companies and organizations have different ways of setting people up.
(And, of course, these are not "official" answers in any sense of the word. We do not purport to represent the school in any way; these are simply our personal observations and opinions)
We're moving to Mumbai!! What's it like?
This is one of the biggest cities in the world: I would tell you to be ready for it, but that is just a plain silly thing to say. Just be prepared for some serious city shock. I'm not even talking about the cultural side of things. This is a concrete jungle, with people, buildings, animals, and vehicles tripping over each other.
OK – tell me more. How's the weather?
It is hot and smelly, nothing you can do about that. When you first get here it will be the tail end of the monsoon, so it will be hot and wet (and maybe not quite so smelly). It is something else to realize that walking out into the rain is not going to cool you down! The rains continue until around the end of August, and Mumbai starts to get socked by the 'second summer,' which is plenty warm.
Between November and February is 'winter,' when temperatures this year hit the unheard of frigidity of 50 F, so those are easily the most pleasant months, temperature wise. You might want to bring a sweatshirt for evenings then, but realistically that is the extent of your cold weather gear. If you intend to go up to the Himalayas you can buy stuff here, and if you ever find yourself getting chilly in Mumbai, there are plenty of roadside stalls that sell fleece jackets! Unfortunately, with the great temps come lousy air. It is pretty disgusting to be able to see, smell, taste, and actually feel the air that you're breathing.
After March, things start heating up again, and the air starts to clear out soon after. By May, clouds reappear in the skies and the rains usually start (so "they" tell me) about a week before school gets out.
Sounds interesting. What about our homes?
The suburb many teachers live in is called Bandra, which is supposedly a pretty tony place to be. All housing is in apartments, and teachers tend to live grouped 2 or 3 in an apartment building; not on a compound and not in a communal building (although ours houses 9 separate couples and families – by far the largest concentration in one building). As such, apartments vary greatly from place to place, but as a general rule: the apartments are not very big, but they are very adequately furnished).
BEWARE – furniture: tables, chairs, cabinets, couches, etc is the one thing that absolutely everyone goes berserk over buying here. You can get very nice looking stuff for reasonable prices. So my advice would be to not bring furniture unless you absolutely love it and want to have it always with you, because your apartment is furnished and the opportunity to purchase major items is certainly everywhere. For pictures of our place, look here: http://stutzfamily.com/TravPix/india/Home/index.html. The desk, bedroom stuff, and major appliances are from the school; all the others are things we've purchased here. We didn't bring any furniture at all with us when we came.
Great – sounds like I'll need a lot of extra room for all my stuff!
Unfortunately, storage space is at an extreme premium. In our apartment, there is no 'out of home' storage available, so our luggage and boxes are shoved under beds and on top of wardrobe closets. We have a box with a fake Christmas tree, a box of Christmas stuff, and a box of other holiday things, but there isn't necessarily going to be space for lots of extras.
Now, we also have 2 kids taking up space in our home, so you might very well have an extra room (office, guest room, etc) that you can use for such things…
Oh. Ok, so how do you get around the town?
The school is not located near anyone's residence, so a good portion of your day (20 minutes in the morning, 30-45 after school) is spent in transport. The school provides vans/buses for teachers and teachers' kids, so at least you don't have to worry about driving yourself. (You can purchase a vehicle here, but interestingly enough most people also hire a driver as well!) The school does a great job of making sure that transport is available for all school events, which is really helpful.
As an aside, when you first get here you will be completely twisted and turned around trying to keep the route to and from your home and school straight. You will also think, "No way is this the most direct and efficient route to follow." Everybody goes through this, but after about 3 months you realize that yes, this highly circuitous route is the only way to travel. You'll know what I'm talking about when you get here.
The school and the apartments are located about an hour travel time north of downtown Mumbai, the area you see in whatever tourist pictures you've surfed on the internet. Local transportation is very easy and very cheap in foul smelling little rickshaws, so getting around using them is the way to go. Don't worry – you'll get lost once or twice, but (unlike many other Indian cities), the drivers here start their meters pretty automatically (and even if they don't, just say something and they will), and so we're talking about $3 at a huge stretch for a really long ride – longer than anything you'd typically do. The only downside of them is that there are parts of town they are not allowed into (like downtown), so for going there you'll need to rely on big black and yellow Godfather-era taxis. These cost about double what rickshaws do – but remember that by expensive, I'm talking a $5 charge for a long trip.
Should I bring my electronics?
India is on 220-240v electricity, so European appliances work fine here. Remember that you'll get a laptop from the school to use, so that is handy. We sold all our big items before coming and replaced them here (TV, DVD player, etc). If you don't have 220 volt appliances, it is really not worth it to ding around trying to get all the converters you'll need. If you have European voltage stuff, it'll work fine, but otherwise I'd suggest not bothering with bringing it. Most higher-end electronics (computers, camera battery chargers, etc) can run either on 110 or 220v – check their info to be sure. Adapters for the prongs themselves (so they fit the outlets) are available in Bombay, so take a look at your video games and all to see if they can run here. The school was good about setting us up with trips to the mega malls that sell electronics and appliances (a 1 hour + trip each way!), so you can certainly get outfitted here.
As far as BIG appliances are concerned, our apartment had a microwave, washing machine, dryer, stove/oven, AC, and dehumidifiers, so we didn't need to bring any of that sort of thing. Items we found to be a little pricey here included coffee maker and blender. Also, the current is too unpredictable to run a plug-in alarm clock (really an interesting discovery!) so battery operated (or from your mobile phone) is the way to go.
What about the availability of other goods?
(Mumbai, as befits the biggest city in the world, has tons of things to buy. What follows are North American-centric comments on what is easy to find and what you should bring with you.)
In general, the bigger the item, the easier to find. Everything "big" – towels, sheets, appliances, etc – is available here; the smaller things are what you'll miss. Prices are very comparable to those in the US – i.e., much more than we'd expected. The big city of Bombay is certainly not the dirt cheap India that backpackers rave about.
It is amazing how many of the "little kitchen implements" you can grab at Target over the summer and fit in a bag. If you are into cooking, and have specialty cookware, bring it. You can probably find it here, but at a headache and price that are both easily avoided by bringing things with you. Items we've heard mentioned as worth bringing include tea ball, travel mug, cooler, garlic press, kitchen chopper, kitchen timer, oven thermometer, and paper coffee filters.
Foodstuffs (aside from market fruits and veggies) are also surprisingly more expensive than expected – not intolerably so, but noticeably. Liquor is as well, especially wines, so whatever you can do with your duty free limit is a bonus.
Bathroom and medicine
We find almost all toiletries more expensive here than in the US or elsewhere. The exceptions are toothbrushes – they are 25 rupees (60 cents) – and Allergen eyedrops. Stick deodorant is really hard to find; all we've seen is the old fashioned wet roll on stuff. Bring your solid! Shampoo is about 5 bucks a bottle, and the choices are limited.
There are lots of different vitamins here, but they are local brands and for adults (we've never seen children's vitamins). There are LOTS of homeopathic and ayurvedic remedies available here, if you are into that kind of thing. Bring prescription medicines; there are pharmacies are all over here, and you don't need a prescription, but you can't always get the specific medication (but the pharmacies are great – cheap with delivery!!)
Surprisingly, eyeglasses themselves are dirt cheap, so don't stock up on those before coming! Dental care is also one of those mega-discounted services available. We've heard of people who take dental vacations just to come here and get teeth work done.
What about other things that we should bring?
Well, we have kids, so their needs topped our 'must bring' list. We wish we had brought more birthday party gifts and/or holiday gifts (like LEGO, Bionicle, PlayMobile). The selection here is very limited and reaaaally expensive.
We have a typical "Buy every summer and bring in our suitcase" list that includes the following:
- Dried foodstuffs: Mexican seasonings, dry French onion soup mix (for chip dip)
- French vanilla coffee beans (10+ bags!!)
- Clothes: new stuff for everyone (garage sales are great for the kids)
- Small electronics: cables, rechargeable batteries, camera cards
- Toiletries: deodorant, contact lens solution, tampons & other feminine hygiene products, shampoo, vaseline, vicks, cold medicine, allergy medicine, cough and flu Theraflu etc…
- Toys for holiday presents and as give-aways for other kids' parties
Things that we will buy this summer for bringing back (or that we wish we'd bought with us originally)
- Picnic sized coolers for ice and, um, 'beverages'
- Coffee travel mugs
- Scotch Guard for fabric protection
- Inflatable pool toys
- Garlic salt
- Spray on hair detangler (for our daughter with long hair)
And money – how do we get that?
You'll set up an Indian bank account (with the school's help) when you get here. Each month, you tell the school how much you want put in rupees into you Indian account and how much to have wired to your bank in your home country. These are actual wire transfers, for which you'll pay a fee (our bank – Wells Fargo – charges $11 for each), not your typical free direct deposit scenario.
The bank accounts here come with an ATM card, and ATMs are everywhere (and there is a lower-than-nominal charge for using one that is not your own bank, so even more flexibility is yours in that respect).
You should check to see what the fee, if any, is for you to use your own bank's ATM card here, as it is extremely handy to be able to access that money if you should not have enough deposited into your rupee account and need to get cash from some other source. Wells Fargo has a program that, with a minimum deposit (which we meet by having a couple of CDs), there are no charges for international money withdrawals (otherwise it is 5 bucks a pop).

Trojans Advance to Semi-Finals with 83-65 Victory Over Rams
The No. 2 Northern Division seed Virginia State University, continued their impressive run in 2017-18 and improved to a 23-4 record. The Trojans will face Bowie State University Friday in the semi-finals at the Spectrum Center at 1:00 p.m. Winston-Salem State University (8-21) closes the book on their season with the 83-65 loss to Virginia State.
Mia Fitts added the opening five points knocking down two free-throws and a three-pointer within the first 1:58 to give the Trojans a quick 5-0 lead. Winston-Salem State closed the gap with a jumper from Kandace Tate and a lay-up from Tiana Edwards, but the VSU would go on a 16-9 run to close out the half.
Although Virginia State outscored the Rams (10-8) with points in the paint and 2-0 in bench points, WSSU held the edge in second chance points (2-0) and in fast break points (4-0). They each had four points off turnovers in the first quarter.
The Trojans continued pouring it on Winston-Salem State in the second quarter. An Aja Robertson lay-up at the 9:53 mark ignited a 25-11 run. Virginia State led by as much as 22 to closed out the half when they outscored the Rams (24-12) in points in the paint and (14-9) in points off turnovers. Winston-Salem held the edge in fast break points (4-0) while both teams recorded four second chance points and seven bench points.
The Rams were held to only 34.5 percent (10-of-29) shooting from the field, 25 percent (2-of-8) shooting from downtown, and 100 percent (2-of-2) shooting from the foul line. TheTrojans shot 56.3 percent (18-of-32) from the floor, 38.5 percent (5-of-13) from behind the arc, and 83.3 percent (5-of-16) from the candy stripe. VSU's Chrisanna Green led all scorers at the half with 14 points; while WSSU's Briana Arnold tallied 10 points, respectively.
Winston-Salem State attempted to crawl back in it, closing the lead to within 15 (57-42) at the 4:02 mark in the third quarter, but struggled to keep the momentum as the Trojans outscored WSSU 40-36 in points in the paint, 20-18 in points off turnovers, 12-8 in second chance points, and 22-20 in bench points for the game.
The Rams took the edge over Virginia State 14-2 in fast break points, shooting 41 percent (25-of-61) from the floor, 26.7 percent (4-of-15) from downtown, and 78.6 percent (11-of-14) from the candy stripe for the game.
VSU closed out the game shooting 49.2 percent (29-of-59) from the field, 33.3 percent (7-of-21) from behind the arc, and 81.8 percent (18-of-22) from the line. The Trojans led by as much as 25 for the game and was led by Chrisanna Green with a game-high 23 points (9-of-13) and nine boards. Alexis Smith chipped in 22 points (7-of-17) while Endia McKinney added eight and eight in the victory.
Winston-Salem State was led by Edwards with 19 points (7-of-13); while Arnold recorded 18 points (7-of-12) and nine boards, respectively. Tate added 10 boards in the effort.

Stealth Marketing: Vine ads undercover
Posted by jn5464a on August 6, 2014
In a new stealth advertising scheme in which companies pay the most popular social media users to "organically" promote products, companies are finding loopholes to reaching wider audiences in an ad-free environment.
The leading Vine advertisers have been Kelloggs, Coca-Cola and Virgin Mobile. Check it out for yourself in the most recent Coca-Cola "Advertisement" link below…
Interesting huh? Fascinatingly, that 6-second video can cost companies anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 according to Cory Vaynerchuk co-founder of Grapstory. It leads one to wonder, how effective is this guerrilla marketing strategy? While these vine videos go viral, does it help in the expansion of the overall brand and is the message impactful?
Many of the vines partnered with these companies have little to no obvious connection with the brand. The messaging is so subtle ( such as #shareacoke, #iheartradio) that they might as well not be there at all . Additionally, the vine demographic is between the ages 14-25 with a high concentration on users of ages 13-18. While this audience is an upcoming demographic, for many companies these tactics would be a waste of time and effort.
What do you think?
Don't have a vine? I bet you're reconsidering now.

Structural Relief Therapy (SRT) helps assuage pain, correct posture, and restore joint function by tapping into the neurological system, restoring faulty landline connections between the brain and its muscle minions. A biodynamic massage directs deep-tissue and cranial manipulation toward muscles and fascia for a meditative experience that spreads stress release throughout the fluid and spatial systems of the body. Craniosacral Therapy (CST) gently probes the membranes and fluids surrounding the spine and skull, kick-starting the central nervous system and killing headaches and chronic pain with kindness.

FCC Highlights Career and Technical Education Month with Open House
Career and Technical Education (CTE) prepares individuals for high-skill, in-demand employment that furthers Illinois' global competitiveness. Last year, roughly two-thirds (62.2%) of all Illinois community college graduates earned a CTE degree or certificate. CTE programs offer flexible scheduling, work-based learning, and stackable credentials that provide a pathway from education to employment not only for recent high school graduates, but also for returning adults, veterans, and incumbent workers. Success in CTE programming is amplified by academic support services, work-based learning opportunities, and business engagement. CTE's reach in Illinois' workforce continues to be expansive; currently, there are over 4,300 different CTE program offerings across the community college system.
Frontier Community College (FCC) joins with community colleges throughout the state to celebrate Career and Technical Education Month. FCC currently offers the following 13 CTE programs: Automotive Technology, Construction Technology, Electrical Distribution Systems, Entrepreneurship, Executive Office Professional, Fire Science, Graphic Arts & Design, Health Informatics, Information Systems Technology, Nursing (through Olney Central College), Paramedicine, Phlebotomy, and Sport Management.
The CTE programs at FCC provide curriculum to earn either a certificate or degree that is typically completed in one to two years. Some of the programs, such as Graphic Arts & Design and Health Informatics, allow the students to transfer to a four-year university, where they can continue their education to earn a Bachelor's degree. FCC has articulation agreements with multiple universities in the region, including University of Southern Indiana and Southern Illinois University – Carbondale.
In recognition of Career and Technical Education Month, FCC will be hosting an Open House event for local high school students and community members on Wednesday, February 28. From 9AM-1PM, students will explore FCC's transfer and CTE programs and degrees, as well as tour the classrooms and meet with instructors. Interested individuals should RSVP with their school's guidance counselor or call FCC by Wednesday, February 14. Lunch will be provided by Fairfield Memorial Hospital, and each person in attendance will receive a free T-shirt, compliments of FNB.
For more information about FCC's CTE programs or upcoming Open House, call (618) 842-3711, or view program listings on our homepage.

With the huge impact that online dating has had on the world, we have been able to meet new people with ease through looking at profiles, emails, smiles and texting. The dating world is much bigger today than a decade ago. Whether you meet someone online or at a church function, the one thing that shouldn't have changed is the way we date each other. Here are 7 rules that should always be followed when dating someone.
"The Truth" Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Dating Is Heterosexual
I know that this is a very sensitive subject to many, but God's Word is clear on how we are to find mates for ourselves. Genesis 2:24 says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." This is not up to interpretation. If uncertainty still arises Romans 2:26-27 go further into detail saying, "For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another; men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error." God made us male and female for a reason. We need to take God at His Word and follow it.
Friends First
I strongly recommend becoming friends before dating someone. I'm not saying be best friends, just have an idea of who this person is before you decide to pursue a relationship with them. We are all wired differently and many of us will mesh well with some, but not with others. We all have our own set of "deal-breakers" and it is a good idea to find out if someone you are interested in is going to be a good match for you. So, give it time and see if pursuing a relationship is worth your time.
Respect Boundaries
We all carry our own baggage with us from previous life experiences and some things are not shared until later on in the relationship. If your partner starts to trust you with some info, don't push for more. Let them tell you in their own time. A relationship must be built on trust and no one will learn to trust you if you are forcing them to say or do things they don't want to. Listen to your partner and show them you are trustworthy by allowing them to do things in their own time. Respect their boundaries and I guarantee they will respect you for it.
For The Men
Men, chivalry should not be dead! Open the door for your date. Tell her she looks amazing! Be affectionate with her in a respectable manner. Make her feel cherished when she is around you. Give her the "time of day". Get to know her because you want to and not because she is "talking your ear off". Lead her throughout your date by holding her hand and talking with her. The bottom-line can be said this way: make her feel like she is the only person around when you are with her. And please, pay for everything when you are on a date. Unless she insists on paying for something, always offer to pay.
For The Women
Women, respect your man! Men engage easily on what is around them. Don't change the radio station if he is listening to a song he likes. It doesn't matter if you don't like it. He is going to listen to many songs that he probably won't like of yours. It's okay to have and respect each other's differences. The BIGGEST thing to stay away from is talking about the other men that are around you. We never feel respected when you are focusing on other men. Elevate your man by saying things that you like about him when you are with him. When you elevate a man, he will find it very easy to make you feel cherished if he is a good man. If he never makes you feel cherished, kick him to the curb and find one who does. The bottom line can be said this way: make your man feel like he is the only one that you care about when you are with him.
Date Each Other/Not The In-laws
This is one of the biggest problems in marriage down the road. In-laws seem to want to get in the way. Set up boundaries with each other's parents when you are dating. They don't need to know every detail. If you are very serious with someone, then make them #1! Women, you hate it when men choose mom over you. Men, you hate it when women choose their parents over you. It is so important to put God first, you two second and then the rest of the family third. If you do this you will have a thriving relationship that can lead to marriage.
Put God At The Center
If you want a solid Christian relationship with someone, put God first in your relationship. Spend time praying with each other. Read the Bible with one another. Attend church and Bible Studies together. Follow the guidelines God has set up for us. Stay pure until marriage. Don't steal from the beauty of the wedding night before you are married. By all means long for the sexual side of things, but do not pursue it. Wait until "I do's" are said first. Pray for your partner when you are not with them. Praise God for them when you are not with them. Give God the glory in everything you do and you will definitely have an amazing time dating. Hopefully that will lead to wedding bells down the road!
Dating is a wonderful thing and God wants us to find a mate. When you are with someone, please make them feel loved when you are with them. Spend time talking with each other, praying with each other and learning more about each other each time you meet. God bless you all!

I was wondering about PARACETAMOL.
When I was in hospital after an operation, the surgeon was telling me about this medication.
What He said was that paracetamol was this wonderful drug for pain, even as an additionional drug when I was taking my meds. I understand the mixing of pain control drugs to get more bang for bucks
as long as they belonged to different groups, generally this medication gives me a tummy ache, and I understood that this also has an increased risk of overdose and it has the problem of building up in the kidneys etc., I could be wrong here.
Has anyone any ideas regarding this. another medic was saying the same thing, with me it just does not touch the sides with me and.I really take ill with this.Although I like too keep informed.and would prefer to take other types of pain medication.
All the best, enjoy the weekend

Kiev Declares WarWritten by Stephen Lendman Subject: Police State
by Stephen Lendman
In mid-April, CIA director John Brennan went to Kiev. He did so quietly. He held secret talks. He met with Obama's new friends.
He came to plot war strategy. He wants Eastern Ukrainian freedom fighters eliminated. He wants them slaughtered in cold blood.
He wants challengers to Washington's imperium crushed. After his visit, coup-appointed president Okeksandr Turchynov announced a northern Donetsk region "anti-terrorist operation."
To "protect the citizens of Ukraine," he claimed. To be conducted "stage-by-stage," he added. So-called "terrorists" are committe freedom fighters.
They're Ukraine's best and bravest. They're putting their bodies on the line courageously. They're doing it for fundamental rights everyone deserves.
On April 19, Turchynov declared an Easter truce. Straightaway he broke it. He violated agreed on four-party conflict resolution terms.
On April 23, he ordered special operations in Ukraine's East resumed. They never ended. Turchynov wants more.
"I demand that security services resume and conduct productive anti-terrorist operations aimed at protecting Ukrainians living in the east of the country," he said.
Putschist first deputy prime minister Vitaly Yarema announced a "relaunch(ed) active phase (of Kiev's) "anti-terror operation."
It's not yet underway, he said. "In the near future, appropriate measures will be taken and you will see results," he added.
"We have obtained the support of the United States, that they will not leave us alone with an aggressor," he said. "We hope that in the event of Russian aggression, this help will be more substantive."
Two bodies were discovered in Slavyansk. One allegedly was former parliamentary speaker Vladimir Rybak.
Self-defense force leader Vyacheslav Ponomaryov called discovered bodies a provocation. "Let's wait for the official identification and forensic medical examination results," he said.
Turchynov lied saying "terrorists who effectively took the whole Donetsk region hostage have now gone too far, by starting to torture and murder Ukrainian patriots."
He lied saying "(t)hese crimes are being carried out with the full support and indulgence of the Russian Federation."
Vice President Joe Biden visited Kiev. He addressed putschist legislators. He repeated one Big Lie after another.
"…(W)e want to be your partner, your friend," he said. "We stand with you. (It's) personal, an emotional commitment, as well, by millions of Americans," he claimed.
He vowed Washington will never recognize Russia's "illegal occupation" of Crimea. He called on Moscow to stop supporting "masked gunmen" occupying Eastern Ukrainian government buildings.
He warned of additional sanctions if "provocative behavior" doesn't stop. He lied claiming Russian special forces operate in Eastern Ukraine.
He claimed they promote unrest. They're involved in occupying government buildings, he said.
He ignored Washington's full responsibility for elevating illegitimate putschists to power. He was silent about neo-Nazis running things.
He said nothing about militant fascist extremism. He turned a blind eye to brazen US-manipulated coup d'etat illegitimacy.
He praised his new friends. He pledged more US help. "You will not walk this road alone," he said. "We will walk it with you."
Deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes lied claiming "(i)nternational order is at stake. Our (Ukraine policy) is targeted at upholding the international order that we believe has been violated," he said.
He stopped short of explaining Washington's full responsibility. Blaming Russia doesn't wash. Sergei Lavrov was clear and unequivocal, saying:
"There is no reason not to believe that the Americans are running the show" in Ukraine. He called Biden's Kiev visit no coincidence. He came at the same time Turchynov announced renewed "anti-terrorist" operations.
"It's quite telling they chose (this) moment," Lavrov added. Biden's visit followed John Brennan's days earlier.
Russia will retaliate if necessary, said Lavrov. "If we are attacked, we would certainly respond."
"If our interests, our legitimate interests, the interests of Russians have been attacked directly, like they were in South Ossetia for example, I do not see any other way but to respond in accordance with international law," he stressed.
Washington's Ukraine agenda relates solely to its imperial interests. It "doesn't show the slightest understanding of what is happening," said Lavrov.
It ignores root crisis causes. It offers irrelevant "ready-made solutions." Moscow will never fail to aid Russian nationals anywhere, Lavrov stressed.
"Russian citizens being attacked is an attack against the Russian Federation," he said.
"Ukraine is just one manifestation of the American unwillingness to yield in the geopolitical fight. Americans are not ready to admit that they cannot run the show in each and every part of the globe from Washington alone."
Russia rejects illegitimate Kiev putschists. "In Geneva, we agreed there must be an end to all violence. Next afternoon, Turchynov declared almost a state of emergency and ordered the army to shoot at the people."
On Tuesday, he ordered "anti-terrorist" operations resumed. Moscow rejects use of force throughout Eastern Ukraine and anywhere.
Separately, Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby announced 600 US troops sent to Poland and Baltic states.
They'll participate in military exercises. They'll continue throughout 2014. Perhaps into 2015.
Deploying US forces sends a strong message NATO allies, he said. Washington's commitment is firm.
"If there's a message to Moscow, it is the same exact message that we take our obligations very, very seriously on the continent of Europe," he added.
"Russia's aggression in Ukraine has renewed our resolve to strengthening NATO's defense plans and capabilities, and to demonstrate our continued commitment to collective defense in reinforcing our NATO allies in Central and Eastern Europe," he claimed.
At the same time, Finland agreed to a NATO Memorandum of Understanding. It involves maintaining Alliance warships and aircraft on its territory.
Defense Secretary Carl Haglund claimed doing so isn't a step toward NATO membership. "(I)n times of crisis, we are better qualified for receiving assistance from other EU countries, the Nordic countries and NATO countries," he said.
On April 22, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said:
"Moral pressure is being exerted and attempts are being made to convince the public that 'the Russians are bad' and they should choose an orientation towards European democracy."
"They are talking about some kind of military-technological assistance, advisors and a larger number of joint exercises."
"NATO pursues the sole task of driving a wedge between Russia and its allies, detaching us from one another."
"We can see that the alliance continues to mount its military presence near our borders."
"They kept telling us about certain camps training soldiers and officers for missions in 'hotbeds' and 'semi-hotbeds.' "
"Now it is not a secret that these military units of NATO will be permanent. Whatever they may be called – bases, contingents or formations – their meaning does not change. A military potential is emerging by the Russian borders."
"If anyone thinks that Russia will rush into a project as soon as NATO crooks a finger at us, this is a profound mistake to make."
Russia bashing continues relentlessly. Big Lies substitute for straight talk. The Washington Post headlined "In Russia, a Soviet revival grips leadership," saying:
"…(T)he Soviet Union is suddenly alive and well again in the minds of a giddy cohort of the Russian elite. Not the ideology, please - but the gravity, the cold-eyed assertion of power abroad and at home, and the allegiance demanded by the state."
A litany of lies followed. It's standard WaPo practice. A day earlier, its editors headlined "President Obama, disregarding his own red line, dithers on Ukraine," saying"
Russia "continue(s) to escalate. Its operatives and those they control have not withdrawn from the government buildings they occupy."
"For weeks, Mr. Obama has held back on forceful measures against Mr. Putin's aggression in Ukraine on the theory that a measured approach matched with diplomacy would yield results."
"The policy has failed. Now Mr. Obama must act - or doom Ukraine to dismemberment."
Fact: Russian democracy shames America's sham version. It's more fantasy than real.
Fact: Russia has gone all-out to resolve Ukrainian crisis conditions responsibly. Washington's strategy is polar opposite. It bears full responsibility for what's ongoing
Fact: US-supported putschists have no legitimacy whatever. Eastern Ukrainians have every right to reject them.
They deserve universal support. Don't expect WaPo editors to explain. Big Lies substitute for responsible reporting.
They proliferate recklessly. They risk escalating things out-of-control. They risk possible East/West conflict.
Washington deplores peace. It rejects diplomatic solutions. Ones agreed to aren't worth the paper they're written on.
Promises made are systematically broken. US strategy prioritizes controlling all former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact countries.
Ukraine is the crown jewel. In his 1997 book titled "The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives," Zbigniew Brzezinski said:
"Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire." US control is prioritized. It's been so since Washington broke GHW Bush's pledge not to expand NATO East.
No encroachment on Russia's borders would happen provided Moscow let its former republics become independent. Former President Mikhail Gorbachev was lied to.
America's word is never its bond. Former Russian republics Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are NATO members.
Other Eastern European ones include Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovenia.
Washington wants all remaining Eastern European nations co-opted. It wants them part of NATO.
US bases encircle Russian and Chinese borders menacingly. So-called missile defense systems intended for offense target them.
Neither country threatens America. Positioning strategic weapons near their borders shows Washington's real intentions.
The battle for Ukraine's soul continues. Washington is losing control. Michael Hudson believes it has "no means to follow through."
"The effect is to make the United States look like what Mao Tse Tung called it: a Paper Tiger. Having waved a big stick, the United States and its NATO satellites are now leaving Ukraine broke," he said.
"The aim of prying it out of the Russian orbit has left Ukraine heavily in debt to Russia for arrears in payments for gas (now no longer subsidized) and in danger of losing Russia as its major market for industrial exports."
Business as usual continues. Saber rattling dares Moscow to respond. Cold War 2.0 rages. Recklessness defines US policy. Russia is wrongfully blamed for US lawlessness.
Vilifying its policies persists. Calling them a major danger doesn't wash. Putin prioritizes diplomatic conflict resolutions. Advancing America's imperium prevents it.
One crisis segues to others. Will Ukraine be Washington's undoing? Rodney Shakespeare suggests a possible "turning point in history." US hubris may precipitate its own downfall.
Is America's empire declining? Washington hasn't won a war since WW II. Militants battle for control in Iraq and Libya. US-installed puppet regimes are weak.
Over 12 years of Afghanistan's war resolved nothing. Nor will another decade of fighting if it continues.
Obama's proxy Syria war reflects failure. America makes more enemies than friends. Will Ukraine hasten Washington's decline? Will its grip on world power weaken?
Will current allies lose patience? Will they cut their losses and abandon partnering in America's imperial adventurism? Will Ukraine be the last straw?
Hindsight is the best foresight. The fullness of time alone will tell. Ending Washington's imperial rampaging can't happen a moment too soon. Humanity's survival depends on it.

I've recently upgraded my office computer through the addition of an addition display — a 19″ LCD — to compliment my 19″ Trinitron CRT monitor.� My video card has both a DVI and VGA output, so I can� use both monitors simultaneously to have more working space.� I've used dual monitors before, but only where the primary monitor was a laptop / tablet, and then I hooked in an external monitor to use as a secondary display.� I've really been enjoying the added real estate, but one thing really frustrated me — that the secondary display doesn't get its own taskbar, and therefore everything from both displays is crammed into the one taskbar on the primary display.
Enter Ultramon — my new best friend.� Ultramon is a great utility that makes working with dual (or multi-) monitors much easier.� Firstly, it gives secondary displays a seperate taskbar that only shows the items that correspond to that display.� In addition, it adds a button to the title bar of each window that lets you move it to the next display.� Also, you can create special shortcuts that default to a particular display.� Another feature, which I'm quite fond of, is creating a hotkey (I use [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Right arrow]) to move the active window to the next display.� This is very useful when opening new windows that jump in front of the window you are using.� You can also specify things like seperate wallpaper and screensavers for your monitors.� There are a bunch of other features as well.
Ultramon is free for 30 days, and $39.95 to buy.� I haven't bought it yet, but it's definitely on my�to-do list as soon as it starts nagging me!

On Friday, December 16, Dr. Ron Paul ran a "money bomb" campaign. His goal was to raise $4 million.
Today, Monday, December 19, Dr. Ron Paul has raised over $4,100,000.00.
His secret? Online social networking through Facebook, Twitter and You Tube.
He also has a powerful tool in his pocket: The under 30 voter. While voter apathy is a concern with this demographic, voter turnout for President Obama showed that the under 30 crowd pushed him over the top. There are over 78 million voters under the age of 30. While all are not registered, even 5% of this demographic is close to 4 million voters. The reason for Generation Y's support of Dr. Paul? Generation Y's biggest value is freedom, and Dr. Paul has been talking freedom for the last 24 years
Just watch this video below, and you will hear more about why the youngest demographic is behind the veteran Congressman. And…just a side note. Most Gen Y's will tell you that they listen more to their grandparents than their parents. They see wisdom and experience in our more senior leaders.
The point here is this: You may or may not like Ron Paul, but he has proved to us all that if you are blogging and bombarding online social networks with your name and message, that online social networking works! As a business owner, you too can make this happen, but only with commitment and a team of people who can spread your message to the masses. This approach to fundraising worked for President Obama and it is working for Dr. Paul.
