Senior Helpers Happy Holidays with Senior Home Care
Many holidays including Hanukkah and Christmas are celebrated during December which makes it the most festive time of the year. With these family and faith centered holidays, it is wonderful to gather with friends and those we love to celebrate and enjoy time spent together.
The holidays are a great way to reconnect with family and to reinforce bonds that may feel frayed over the course of a year filled with commitments and other obligations. Whenever possible, try to plan ahead when including an elderly loved one. Bring along any medications that might be needed during the visit and other items such as extra clothing for warmth when needed. Pick up loose items around the home where your elderly loved one will be staying and be look for possible trip hazards such as cords or rugs that may cause any falls.
Our elderly loved ones have lived long and eventful lives. They have many stories to tell, and given the opportunity, they are sure to feel inspired to share. Grandchildren may find their experiences fascinating and the chance to learn about a family member's past is a great way to pass on a piece of family history. Pull out the photo albums and find some old videos and enjoy those magical memories of the past together.
The holidays don't have to be just about reliving the past memories; it can be about creating new ones as well. Bring out some cards and board games that can be played together as a family. Record some video of the festivities to share and enjoy later in the evening and for years to come. Try to photograph family members to preserve this special time together.
Some families live long distances from one another and getting together to celebrate the holidays can be difficult. When the distance makes visiting an elderly loved one not possible due to distance, it can leave a loved one feeling sad during the holidays. This is when a visit from a compassionate caregiver from Senior Helpers of Chattanooga comes in to provide some companionship and conversation. This not only reassures the family that an elderly loved one is reminded to take medications and eating regular meals, it also provides the family some peace of mind.

Fall Showing of the Alliance
The Artists Alliance of East Hampton will present its fall art exhibit beginning tomorrow at Ashawagh Hall in Springs. The exhibit of work by 46 of its members will continue through Sunday.
A reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
New Art at Demato
The Richard Demato Gallery in Sag Harbor will open a new show of work by Kyla Zoe Rafert on Saturday with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.
Ms. Rafert uses a variety of mediums to create a staged world of young women and adolescent girls caught in old-fashioned notions of history and the feminine. In a work such as "Duel" two bucks fight over a hoopskirt-clad girl in a richly patterned and artificial background and setting.
Also on view will be a several limited edition prints by Andrea Kowch.
Early Holiday Shopping
The Grenning Gallery is showing "Gems," a collection of smaller works by gallery artists perfect for the season of gift giving.
Among the paintings is Marc Dalessio's "Lake in Connecticut," a mid-summer New England lake scene, and a new painting of Main Street, Sag Harbor, by James Daga Albinson.
Daniela Astone will be exhibiting "Smelly Pigs" and "White Chairs" with "Val D'Allos," an alpine scene, by Leo Mancini-Hresko. Also on view will be works by Joe Altwer, Jimmy Sanders, Melissa Franklin Sanchez, and Stephen Bauman. There will also be more sizable works upstairs by Ramiro, Ben Fenske, and Marc Dalessio.
Ray Parker at Washburn
Ray Parker's "Simple Paintings From the 1960s" are on view at the Washburn Gallery in New York City beginning today.
According to an essay by Klaus Kertess, an East Hampton critic and curator, Parker, who died in 1990, was among artists such as Morris Louis, Frank Stella, Kenneth Noland, and Jack Youngerman who "sought to create abstract paintings that filtered out the highly wrought drawing and emotional pyrotechnics of Abstract Expressionism, while retaining the scale and directness introduced by [Jackson] Pollock and his peers."
The paintings on view feature simple ovoid or rectangular shapes in subdued tones that may be brooding but often cede very little emotional content. Their ponderous stillness offers a challenge to earlier work that featured more gestural and balletic brush work.
The show is on view through Jan. 28.
Staller Shows Nicholson
The Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University is showing Roy Nicholson's paintings as part of a show called "Re-Natured," which pairs Mr. Nicholson, who lives in Sag Harbor, with the artist Cui Fei.
Mr. Nicholson, who was born and raised in Britain, often takes the English-style garden as his inspiration. From this he creates forms both literal and more intuitive to populate his canvases. Time and the passage of seasons are important themes and the garden forms he paints reflect those changes, although rarely with an absence of saturated color.
The exhibit will be on view through Dec. 17.
Gail Levin to Speak
Tomorrow, Gail Levin, author of many books and most recently of "Lee Krasner: A Biography," will speak about Krasner and the book as part of Molly Barnes's Brown Bag Lunches at the Roger Smith Hotel on Lexington Avenue in New York City. The talk begins promptly at noon.
Vered Unveils Winter Show
The Vered Gallery in East Hampton will open a winter group exhibit tomorrow with a variety of landscape and seascape paintings. Modern and traditional landscapes by artists such as Thomas Moran, Milton Avery, and Oscar Bluemner will be shown with more contemporary paintings by Wolf Kahn, Jules Olitski, Robert Dash, Balcomb Greene, and Grant Haffner. Works by Hunt Slonem, Steven Klein, Larry Rivers, Bert Stern, Man Ray, and Pablo Picasso will be on view as well.
The exhibit will remain on view through Jan. 30.
Face Off at Booth
"About Face: Portraits + Personalities + Documentary" will open at the Tulla Booth Gallery in Sag Harbor on Saturday. The show will feature work by Burt Glinn, Barbara Macklowe, Steve McCurry, Costa Peterson, and Bert Stern.
The exhibit includes recognizable faces as well as the more anonymous among us. What attracts Ms. Booth to the portrait, according to a release, is "the seductive moment between the photographer and what the subject is willing to reveal."
A reception will be held on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. The show will remain on view through Dec. 15.

Shambhala, the new roller coaster in Port Aventura opened a few days ago, on the 12th of May. As I expected it was smooth and provided large amounts of airtime. The first drop in the back was great and the tunnel was a nice head-chopper. The speedhill (which is the mini-camel) produces a great amount of air, I would call it ejector in contrast to the floater air in the camelbacks, and the splash was very cool too, as you are between the water as opposed to creating a wave behind you (like Diamondback).
The theming is very well done and the themed area is big, Dragon Khan has also been slightly re-themed as it stands next to Shambhala and looks like a new coaster too.
Here's an onride POV video fo Shambhala at Port Aventura from Theme Park Review:
This (You)Report was submitted by Toby.
How do you think Shambhala looks? Have you been lucky enough to ride Shambhala? What'd you think? Leave a comment below.

New technology for older generation
Staff writer
Neva Applegate enjoys looking at pictures of her grandkids as they scroll across the screen of her Mac computer.
Applegate, whose son set her up with a computer in 1995, is part of a growing number of seniors using computers. She uses hers to write emails and play games.
Residents of Marion Assisted Living, where Applegate resides, can use their own computer or a shared one available to everyone.
Staff say they are more than willing to show residents who want to use computer programs.
"We don't offer classes, but if the resident wants to use the computer or needs help we will help them," Director Bonnie Sawyer said.
One resident who used the computer is retired physician Cranford Ensey, who writes summaries of articles on it.
A computer is also available at Marion Senior Center.
Rhonda Brenzikofer, a Senior Center patron, said her biggest problem was pop ups.
"They're like junk you get in the mail," she said.
She uses her home computer and the guest one at the center to keep in touch with her kids and grandkids through email and Facebook.
She took computer classes to learn how to use them.
"I want to learn more, but the classes I can find are mostly basic skills and I'm past those," she said.
Senior Center head cook Kathy West said she would like to see the senior center offer those classes.
"I think it would be an excellent idea, but it's one of those things best learned by following along with the instructor on your own machine, and we only have one available," West said.
If the center could come up with more computers, she said it could have classes.
West uses computers for work.
"I use the computer at the senior center to order food and to look up recipes," she said.
She also uses the computer for information, news, and weather. She thinks everyone should know computer basics.
"Everything is getting so computerized now a days," she said. "It would be so much easier for people if they had simple computer skills."
Because things are so computerized, it could save seniors time and money, West said.
"You can file for Social Security online, bank online, and even order medicine online," she said. "It would be so helpful, but they're afraid of learning something different."
West thinks the homebound would benefit the most.
"They could do so many things without having to leave their home. It would be a wonderful tool," she said.
She thinks people are afraid of learning because they do not like change.
"It's a big change, and nobody likes that," she said. "Also, if you don't know what you're doing it can take a long time to figure out."

Gruppo Bertone is an Italian car styling and coachbuilding house based in
Turin. It was founded as Carrozzeria Bertone in 1912 by Giovanni Bertone (1884
in Mondovì, Piedmont - 10 May 1972 in Turin). Giovanni was the sixth of the
seven sons from a farming family. He had worked as a carriage wheelmaker, and
was employed at Diatto (1907) when he established his own carriage building and
repair shop in Corsa Pesciera (1912).
Being a friend of Vincenzo Lancia, he got contracts from Fiat and thus entered the automobile design market, his first self made car body being based on a SPA 9000 in 1921. Another early success at this time was the Fiat 501 competition car. Subsequently Bertone also designed many Lancia cars. His son Giuseppe Bertone, called "Nuccio", (1914–1997) took over the company in 1950. After racing Fiats, O.S.C.A.s, Maseratis, and Ferraris, Bertone moved to construction, agreeing to build his first car, a series of 200 MGs, at the 1952 Turin Motor Show. He drew attention at the Paris Motor Show that year with an Abarth concept, and was chosen to design the replacement for the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante.
Two years later at Turin, Bertone introduced the Storm Z concept based on a Dodge chassis alongside his latest Alfa Romeo B.A.T. concept and a prototype of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint, which would become the company's main product for the coming years. Bertone built more than 31,000 bodies in 1960, including Fiat 850 Spiders, Fiat Dino Coupes, Simca 1200S coupes, the Alfa Romeo Montreal, and Lamborghinis. His 100th design was a special Ford Mustang, introduced at the 1965 New York Auto Show and commissioned by Automobile Quarterly. From 1972 to 1989 Bertone built the Fiat X1/9.
Bertone summed up his philosophy when introducing the Fiat 850: "Our role is the production of car bodywork on which we impose the styling trends, build prototypes, develop the design, the production methods, and the tooling. Naturally, we produce them in quantity."
Bertone's Ferrari designs were a radical departure for that company and drew the ire of rival Pininfarina. His two 250GT coupes, designed by the young Giorgetto Giugiaro, were only a foreshadow to the controversial 308 GT4 of the 1970s.
In 2006, Bertone was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in Detroit, taking his place alongside other automotive icons, including Henry Ford, Giovanni Agnelli, Louis Renault and the Michelin brothers.
Bertone styling is very distinctive, with most cars having a strong family resemblance even if badged by different manufacturers. Bertone has styled cars for Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Fiat, Iso Rivolta, Lancia, Lamborghini, Volvo Cars and many others.
Many famous designers worked for Bertone. Franco Scaglione became head of design in 1952 and in this period Alfa Romeo became a distinctive partner, resulting in Scaglione's famous Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica concept cars (B.A.T.). Giorgetto Giugiaro was Bertone's design chief from 1959 to 1965. He later started his own design firm, ItalDesign. Marcello Gandini took his place and stayed for 15 years until 1980, when he decided to continue as a freelance designer. In 2008 designer Jason Castriota moved from Pininfarina to Bertone, becoming Bertone's new chief designer. He left less than a year later. Mike Robinson took his place.

'One battle over, but the war continues,' by Bro. Derek Gordon
One Battle Is Over, But The War Is Not
A great man and Mason, who was overshadowed by the three-term Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, stated: "Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything." Harry S. Truman, a native of Missouri, was not from a political elite family. In fact, this pivotal man came from a farming family. He achieved an end to World War II after approving the use of two nuclear weapons on the Rising Sun of the Empire of Japan.
Many of us don't realize how much power we have by defying the status quo and standing up for what's right in life. We come from all sorts of families; I grew up in a blue-collar household. Certainly, we don't grow up thinking we can drop a figurative nuclear weapon. But, there are times when each one of us must stand strong to shine that bright spotlight on those harming what we all stand for.
However, when we are leading a resistance, it is futile to continue a long battle that will continue to degrade into a slanderous quagmire. There would be nothing to gain from doing so. And, it would hinder one's own desire to introduce change of disgusting policies designed to destroy those who defy the corrupt leaders; and it would bring about a notion that the fight isn't as righteous as it truly is.
I stood down against the Arkansas Oligarchy in an effort to allow change to foster. Unfortunately for the time being, the reaction from the leadership is to portray me as a liar, a cheat, and a scoundrel. Some will believe their shallow attempts, but many will see the holes in the points they make. Every comment I made I offered proof. Each comment their cronies made have been backed up with more libelous statements.
A post below discussed that I resigned and did not expel myself. Accusations are rampant that I hid information. I would appreciate it if the oligarchy would provide the documentation. Further, I requested written documentation from the U.S.P.S. that there were not attempted deliveries between April 14th, 2010 and May 3rd, 2010. A phone call confirmed this; however, I feel such documentation added atop my continually-growing pile would be a wonderful addition.
The war against the evil lurking at 700 Scott St. in Little Rock will continue as the deep-rooted unprofessional ideologies are perpetuated by the leadership. There are many more abused Arkansas Masons who are just realizing how important it is to speak out. Once again, I point to the article detailing my life as a Mason in Arkansas and the provided phone logs. I've tried civil and professional means and have continually offered to let the issue end. I tell you, Grand Lodge, you still are playing a game that you miscalculate and under appreciate the importance of. I challenge those in charge to meet on neutral ground to end the matter professionally, orderly, and most important, as Masons "meeting on the level" would expect.
"It is important to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated." — Albus Dumbledore; J.K. Rowling, The Half-blood Prince

Are you sure this is not the GLo Ohio or West Virginia? This behavior is very familiar?ReplyDelete
I think he should have had the trial; better to go down fighting then to die on your knees.ReplyDelete
Either way its a moot point now; he's done with mainstream Masonry.
- AnonymousFriday, May 21, 2010 12:19:00 PM
He was not offered a new trial. Instead it looks like the GL was waiting for public sentiment to die down before sending a trial date. I bet he assumed that the GL wanted it to go away because they passed their own deadline for a new date to be mailed and received.ReplyDelete
So if a person takes that lack of performance as a "lets find a way out" sort of decision, they might be inclined to offer an olive branch to just go separate ways. When it was done it looks as if GL took advantage of the brothers kindness.
It sickens me that Masonry in Arkansas is hell bent on treating its membership like trash.
"Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything." Harry S. TrumanReplyDelete
This is how I think too.

An accident involving a bicycle and a car escalated quickly into a �he-said, she-said� situation Monday afternoon on Highland Avenue � and a complaint has been filed against a Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office sergeant as a result.
A minor accident Monday afternoon turned into a major incident.
A Lenoir County mother has filed a complaint against the Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office and Sgt. Michael Manning regarding his involvement investigating a traffic accident at the corner of Highland Avenue and Pollock Street.
However, a witness to the accident says there are no grounds to the complaint.
Around 5:40 p.m., a bicycle rode by 17-year-old Matthew Lewis and a Toyota Camry driven by 60-year-old Robert Pressly collided on the 600 block of Highland Avenue.
Matthew immediately called his mother, Kimberly Lewis, telling her he�d been hit. His foot was injured in the accident, and Matthew said he and his damaged bike couldn�t make it further than the corner.
Pressly said he had been heading west on Highland when he saw Matthew riding his bike in the middle of the street. Pressly said he moved close to the curb in order to pass him, and honked his horn to make sure Matthew was aware he was there. When they were about halfway down the block, Pressly said the handlebar of the bike hit his side-view mirror.
�He just turned and ran right into me,� Pressly said. �I got out to see if he was fine, he said, �I�m good, I�m going home.� �
Matthew�s account differs from Pressly�s. Matthew said he checked behind himself twice to see if a car was coming, and didn�t see one. He said when he heard the engine noise, he believed the car was coming from the opposite direction, from the other side of the intersection.
The accident happened when Matthew turned right to head down the sidewalk along Pollock Street. The Lewises believe Pressly caused the accident, but Pressly said Matthew turned into his car. A KDPS report corroborates Pressly�s claim.
�I did not run into that boy,� Pressly said. �Didn�t want to, didn�t mean to. And it�s just turning into a big thing I do not want to get in.�
Moments after the collision, Matthew�s family, who lives nearby on Pollock Street, joined him, and law enforcement arrived at the scene.
�They started cussing at us, and I called 911 and the police showed up,� Pressly said. �There was a big to-do. All of them were hollering at us and stuff. The police finally locked two of them up.�
First reporting were Manning and Kinston Department of Public Safety Ofc. Jay Eubanks. According to Manning�s report, submitted by LCSO Deputy William Shambeau, a woman was in the street talking on a mobile phone, not allowing traffic to move.
Kimberly said one of her daughters, Kia Lewis, was taking pictures with her phone of the incident. Manning said he told her to stand on the side of the street.
According to the LCSO narrative, �Kimberly Lewis then came into the street yelling at me and the female telling her to come to her side of the street and saying, �You ain�t got to do nothing, these (expletive deleted) tell you to do. Don�t pay them no (expletive deleted) mind. You come on over here.�
Kimberly has a different recollection of events, starting with Manning getting out of his car in an intimidating manner and yelling sternly at Kia.
�I said, �Kia, come on and get out the street � before you get hit, No. 1, and before he tries to take you to jail,� � Kimberly said.
After that, Kimberly said Manning began yelling in her face.
�I said, �Get your (expletive deleted) hand out of my face,� because he was pointing his finger in my face,� Kimberly said. �He came off aggressive, to the point � he was just so rude, and racist and not compassionate for the situation. KPD was more compassionate than the Lenoir County (deputy) sheriff was.�
Kimberly continued, �So my daughter (Bianca Lewis) here comes up, and she says, �Look, you don�t need to be pointing your finger in my mama�s face.� He then said, �You need to shut up, you need to shut up.� �
Kimberly said she instructed Bianca, who is 24, to go back to the house and along with Kimberly�s granddaughter, 4-year-old Ta�Yana Marshall.
According to the Lewises, Bianca was talking to herself about the situation and holding onto the girl�s hand when Manning asked her what she said, and to �shut up and come here.� They said Manning then came from behind and grabbed Bianca by her neck, twisting her around. They said the 4-year-old fell down onto the street in the process.
�He�s choking her, he�s turning red,� Kimberly said. �I ran to him and said �No, you don�t do that.� I�m running to get my daughter, and he pushes me. My reflexes went back to him when he pushed me. Then my fianc� grabbed me, and that�s when Kinston police came to restrain me.�
Manning�s report says he and KDPS Capt. Milton Kivett advised everyone to stop cursing, or they would be arrested for disorderly conduct.
According to the narrative, Bianca continued to spew obscenities towards the authorities.
The report states Manning told Bianca he was arresting her for disorderly conduct and grabbed her arm to place her in handcuffs. It went on to say she started pushing and hitting him, and Kimberly came up to pull him off her. The report mentions Kivett took Kimberly into custody, while Eubanks took Bianca into custody.
Kimberly said when they were cuffed, but before they were put in the patrol cars, Manning held up a can of pepper spray to the faces of her, Bianca and Kia, threatening them to say something with the intention of spraying them, which he didn�t do.
LCSO Chief Deputy Chris Hill said he found that allegation hard to believe, as he would have been notified of such actions following the incident.
�They would have called me and told me of something like that,� Hill said.
He added, �It seems like everybody wants to blame law enforcement for their problems. Every time they get arrested, they want to cause a diversion or create a diversion. I�d have to question why somebody would want to say all of that stuff.�
Kimberly and Bianca are both charged with assault on a government employee and disorderly conduct. Both charges are misdemeanors.
Pressly said from his vantage point, law enforcement officers on the scene were in the clear.
�Two or three ladies got really out of hand,� he said. �They were hollering and screaming at me and my wife. Called my wife a whole bunch of names, saying they were going to beat her up. Then they were hollering at the cops.
�The police didn�t instigate nothing. I don�t know what happened to it.�
Kimberly said she and her family have no problem with law enforcement. Her late husband, Gregory, was a member of the Greenville Police Department. He died in 1998. She also heaped praise on the Kinston police officers in general and Eubanks in particular.
Kimberly also said that while she�s filed a complaint against the LCSO, she�s looking at filing suit in federal court on the matter. The family has not yet retained legal counsel.
Kimberly and Bianca are due in court on the charges April 2. Eubanks issued no citation in the vehicle accident.

Cutting the cost of heating buildings and shrinking urban heat islands
We have developed and built an innovative alternative energy system and are in the process of turning this into an exciting new business concept.
We partner with companies seeking to position their products and construction expertise in the rapidly expanding green energy and emission reduction industries.
The passive solar energy system provides a simple, effective and low cost upgrade to an existing or new build conservatory. Alternatively it can be installed as a stand-alone system on an existing property - or incorporated into a new build. The upright orientation maximises the systems effectiveness in winter months. The system can also be used as part of a seasonal energy store solution to reduce the build up of heat islands in urban areas. It is installed in a house in Cambridgeshire in the UK and has reduced the property's energy consumption by over 30%.
theEnergyCrowd project is run by Steinkrug.com

Here's their logic:
1. Household duties enable kids "to develop a work ethic."
2. Allowances help kids with money management skills.
3. Those two goals should not be mixed.
The money-for-chores allowance system is flawed because parents provide "external motivation," (money) to control children's behavior. It's best, the authors argue, to allow children to develop "an inner drive" to work harder.
"While you want your children to understand that a job well done receives rewards, you don't want them thinking that they should be paid for fulfilling family responsibilities."
I'm not sure if I agree with that argument. I think that household chores can serve as the first paid job for kids. I give my kids a small allowance of $5 a week per child, with a bonus for handling extra chores. But we don't give out allowances if chores have not been done.
My system may be flawed and I'm curious about the allowance system used by other parents.

U.S. Men Earn Historic World Cup Qualifying Win in Guatemala
GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala (Aug. 20, 2008) – The U.S. Men's National Team earned their first-ever FIFA World Cup qualifying win in Guatemala on Wednesday night behind a Carlos Bocanegra goal after both sides had been reduced to 10 men in a physical match that produced seven yellow cards, two red cards and 40 total fouls. The victory was the first for the United States in Guatemala since 1988, and marked their third-straight shutout victory in 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying.
U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard starred between the pipes, making seven saves and more importantly controlling his area both in the air and on the ground. He earned his third shutout in four World Cup qualifying appearances.
"It was a very hard fought game, and for us a hard earned three points," said U.S. head coach Bob Bradley. "The win is based more on the determination of our team. Sometimes it's necessary to win games in that way. It was a game where we relied on the effort, team spirit, and the mentality of the group. Our experienced players have made the point to the team that qualifying is always difficult away from home. You have to expect games to be very tough. We have played some tough games in the last year, but none of them are qualifiers. To experience it and to win in that fashion is good for the group."
An afternoon rainstorm soaked an already wet field, creating a slippery and heavy surface. The chippy first half generated more yellow cards than shots on goal. Steve Cherundolo, Clint Dempsey and Pablo Mastroeni were all booked in the first 33 minutes, as was Guatemala's Guillermo Ramirez. Carlos Ruiz put two shots on goal, one of which forced Howard to make a diving save, and Michael Bradley had the lone U.S. shot on goal which went directly to goalkeeper Ricardo Trigueno.
In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Guatemala created some of their best chances of the match with the first five shots of the half and other chances as space opened on the wings and in front of the U.S. back line. Things got trickier when Cherundolo pulled down Fredy Garcia near midfield and was shown his second yellow card of the game.
The fortunes reversed just three minutes after Guatemala took the man advantage with the U.S. rushing to bring on Frankie Hejduk to provide cover at right back. On a long ball out of the back, Eddie Lewis looked to flick the ball on when he was violently met by Guatemala's Gustavo Cabrera, who came flying in from the blind side with his elbow up. The two crashed heads, with Lewis falling to the ground with a gash on his forehead that required five stitches to close. Cabrera was shown a red card as soon as he regained his feet.
Bob Bradley quickly went to his bench, bringing on DaMarcus Beasley in addition to Hejduk, and the move quickly paid dividends.
As Lewis headed to the locker room for more medical treatment, the U.S. quickly took an advantage that they would not relinquish. Landon Donovan drew a foul in the attacking third, his first free kick was stopped by the arm of Jose Manuel Contreras, who earned a yellow card for his transgression. On the next free kick, Donovan sent in a perfect ball to Oguchi Onyewu, who forced Trigueno to make his best save of the game tipping his headed ball over the crossbar.
On the ensuing corner, Beasley curled the ball into the center of the area. As Onyewu was ridden down at the near post, Bocanegra used Brian Ching to set the perfect pick and he was wide open to head the ball inside the far post. It was Bocanegra's second career World Cup qualifying goal and 10th of his international career.
Down the stretch the U.S. held strong, with Howard being called to action several times to come off his line. Guatemala missed their best chance after Yony Flores shanked a left-footed shot at the far post in the 74th minute.
Eight minutes later, Carlos Gallardo challenged Howard at the far post with a low shot. The U.S. goalkeeper smothered the shot, but a charging Ruiz kicked the U.S. goalkeeper as he challenged for a rebound that wasn't there. After the foul was called, Howard returned to his feet and was given a yellow card for shouting at Ruiz, who mysteriously was not shown a card on the play.
The U.S. held some possession and defended with savvy through the final minutes of the game, including four minutes of stoppage time. Midfielder Maurice Edu earned his first World Cup qualifying cap, coming on in the 78th minute for Mastroeni.
With the red card, the U.S. will be without the services of Cherundolo for the next qualifier in Havana vs. Cuba on Sept. 6. That match will be broadcast live on ESPN Classic and Galavision at 8 p.m. ET. That match is the first of two in a double match date that will include the USA's first home qualifier of the semifinal round on Sept. 10 at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Ill. (tickets).
After MatchDay 1, the U.S. is in second place of Group 1 behind Trinidad & Tobago, 3-1 winners against Cuba. By earning yellow cards in the match, Dempsey, Mastroeni, and Howard join Onyewu – who carries a yellow from the Barbados second round series – on the list of players who will earn a one game suspension if they receive another caution in future qualifying matches.

It is generally a terrible idea to build a building from the plans of a dead architect, and it happens more often than you would think. Frank Lloyd Wright's Yahara boathouse, designed in 1905 for a site in Madison, Wisconsin, and never built, finally went up a few years ago—in Buffalo. In 2005 a house Wright had begun to design in 1950 for a waterfront site in upstate New York was resurrected by a new owner of the property, who was determined to build it despite the fact that Wright had never finished the design and no complete set of drawings for it even existed.
But even when an architect figured out a project to the last detail and a future client wants to be faithful to his ideas, there are other problems. Architects often tend to rethink elements at the last minute, as buildings are going up and new ideas come to mind. If the architect is no longer around, there is no way to account for what he or she might have been moved to do differently. These spontaneous changes can be miniscule but critical, and without them, a design may feel dutiful but eerily flat.
Posthumous architecture tends also to ignore the fact that the world has inevitably changed since a project was first designed. The church of Saint-Pierre in Firminy, France, designed by Le Corbusier, wasn't started until six years after his death, in 1965, and wasn't finished until 2006, with numerous changes from the architect's original plans. Who is to say whether Le Corbusier would have designed the same building had he actually been alive in the 1970s? Antonio Gaudi's extraordinary Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona, unfinished at the time of the architect's death in 1926, is continuing to go ahead today, in a misguided homage to Gaudi's memory that is especially foolhardy, since Gaudi tended to improvise many of the details of his architecture as it was going up, and he left only some general drawings for the whole cathedral, meaning that a lot of what is going up now in Barcelona is guesswork. You could say it's an effort to channel the architect's spirit, which is generally not the soundest way to go about making a building.
So it's something of a miracle that New York City's Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial by Louis Kahn, a piece of posthumous architecture that has just opened at the southern tip of Roosevelt Island, in the East River, is so absolutely right. It is the first time a work of posthumous architecture has made me feel elated, not offended, and left me absolutely certain that the right thing had been done. The memorial was designed in 1974, shortly before Kahn's sudden death of a heart attack in Pennsylvania Station. He was, at that point, the most revered living architect in the United States, a kind of philosopher-king of his profession whose oeuvre was small, and consisted almost entirely of masterworks such as the Salk Center in La Jolla, California, the Kimbell Art Museum in Forth Worth, and the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven.
Kahn in his lifetime never managed to build anything in New York, and for several decades after his death it seemed certain that this project would die with him. It was conceived in 1973, just as Welfare Island was being rechristened Roosevelt Island and becoming the site of an ambitious redevelopment project; the memorial, it was hoped, would be the symbol that would remind everyone just why the place had been named Roosevelt Island. The architect's death coincided with the New York City fiscal crisis of the 1970s, and the fact that, suddenly, there was not only no architect but also no money seemed to doom the project. The new town on Roosevelt Island grew just fine without it, and in time most people seemed to forget that Kahn's plan had ever existed.
William vanden Heuvel, a passionate admirer of Roosevelt who was an assistant to Robert Kennedy when Kennedy was attorney general and later served as an American diplomat, did not forget. In 2005, vanden Heuvel decided to try to resurrect the memorial. He managed to raise $53 million from private sources, and to convince the city and the state that the project should go ahead.
Vanden Heuvel's determination—and that of Gina Pollara, an architect who headed the building effort—made the project happen, but it doesn't explain why the memorial is as good as it is, and why it has been spared the lifeless quality of so many posthumous buildings. One thing that helped is that Kahn left fairly complete drawings and had made almost every aesthetic decision, so while the project posed some significant engineering challenges for Weidlinger, its structural engineers, the architectural firm that was given charge of overseeing construction, Mitchell/Giurgola, did not have major design decisions to make. And Kahn, working with his longtime landscape architect Harriet Pattison, had been clear about how he wanted the long rows of trees to look. It was up to the contemporary landscape architects, Villa/Sherr, to try to find the 125 trees that would meet his specifications.
But it is really the simple, abstract, and powerful nature of Kahn's architecture that allowed this to be built so convincingly nearly 40 years after it was designed. I don't want to use the word "timeless," because nothing is truly timeless, and Kahn's architecture was very much of the 20th century. But even as his work marks its time, it has always seemed to transcend its time, almost to transcend time itself; it is stark, but in an almost primal way. Kahn designed buildings that were modern and at the same time looked as if they had been there forever. He went back to the very basics of architecture, to its underlying truths, and he expressed them as no other architect could. With Kahn you feel solids and voids and masses and light and shadow. Build it in 1974, build it in 2012—when it is Louis Kahn it doesn't seem quite to matter as much as it would with some other architect's work.
The F.D.R. memorial has a design that seems simple, but is in fact quite complex and subtle. You approach it from the north, and you first see a monumental staircase, a hundred feet wide, that leads up to a long, tapering lawn flanked by twin rows of linden trees. (There are also walkways on either side of the staircase, beside the water, that bypass the stairs.) The lawn slopes gradually downward as it narrows toward a central focal point: a granite piazza containing an enlarged version of the famous bust of Roosevelt by the sculptor Jo Davidson, set within a granite alcove. Behind the sculpture is what Kahn called "the room"—a three-sided room of granite, its fourth side open to the water, its roof open to the sky.
An excerpt from Roosevelt's famous "Four Freedoms" speech—in which, on the eve of World War II, he spoke of freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear as fundamental human rights—is carved on the back of the enclosure containing the sculpture. There are no other words, nor should there be. The walls of Kahn's room are of immense, six-foot deep blocks of granite, set one inch apart. Here, as you look out to the city—and to the United Nations, which could not be more appropriate—you feel the metaphorical power of architecture: openness to the world is balanced with stability, protection, solidity. You have a sense of looking both inward and outward; this space feels at once as contemplative as a chapel, and as connected to the world as Times Square.
The huge slabs of granite are flame-finished, but the inside surfaces facing the one-inch gaps between the slabs are polished, a brilliant detail. You get tiny glimpses of the water and the skyline as you peer through, and the polish enhances the light. At the corners, where three blocks of granite meet, there is another detail that only Kahn could have conceived: you look directly into the corner of the corner piece, which appears to float within the inch-wide gaps on either side. Maybe all of this, too, is metaphor, the great blocks of granite an inch apart telling us that, even though we are not directly connected, if we stand together we can make something solid. The corner detail is also a reminder that, often, the greatest and most beautiful things are barely visible.
The sky feels big here, bigger than anywhere else in New York. There is nothing high to interfere with the great dome of sky, and so you feel, paradoxically, closer to nature here than even in Central Park. The sky is as much a part of Kahn's design as the river, and the skyline. This is a memorial but it is also a park, a park that shows, as well as any place, Kahn's genius. It narrows to a laser-like focus on Roosevelt, and then it opens up to connect you to the world.

Mantra. Guided. Mindfulness. Yoga.Meditation comes in many forms -- many of which don't even require saying "ohmmm" or contorting the body into uncomfortable positions. "You meditate every time you do something because meditation is just focus," said Dr. Matthew Zorn, a naturopathic physician and meditation instructor at Vancouver Yoga Center. "When you're meditating, you're just focusing on being." Meditation is a practice to quiet one's mind. It's taking time to just engage in the action of being and giving the body a break, Zorn said. "The body is kind of like a horse, it goes wherever the mind takes it," he said. The mind is constantly full of chatter, stress and agitation, said Tenaya Virgin, meditation instructor and owner of Breathe Yoga & Massage in east Vancouver. Meditation can help quiet the chatter, calm the mind and create space between thoughts, he said. Meditation can look many different ways. People can sit, walk or lie down. They can chant to themselves or sit in silence. They can meditate in quiet or while at work. It can last three minutes or 30 minutes, Virgin said. "There's a variety of different ways to meditate," he said. "Everyone needs to find what works for them, and not one style works for everyone." People new to meditation should seek guidance from an instructor or friend who meditates. After learning the basics, they can make meditation their own, Zorn said. There are some things people can do to set the scene for meditating. Closing the eyes and keeping the spine straight -- whether sitting or lying down -- are helpful, Zorn said. The most important thing, Virgin said, is to learn the proper breathing technique. Breathing can slow the mind. "The underlying theme, no matter what you do, is to allow yourself to be calm inside," Zorn said. Meditation carries a variety of benefits, which include reducing blood pressure, stress and anxiety. Meditation can also help a person reach his or her goals, manage pain, sleep better and promote emotional and physical healing, Virgin said. "It's a real good process for resolving conflicts in people's lives," he said. Ongoing meditation can also help a person develop an awareness of one's body, said VeAnne Virgin, Tenaya's wife. A person who practices meditation will recognize when their stress levels are rising and take steps to calm the mind and body, rather than reacting to the stressor, she said. Meditation can also help a person disengage from the laundry list of things to do and sharpen focus, Zorn said. "We don't have any control of external events," he said. "What we do have control over is our internal response to those things." While much of a person's focus is pointed outward, meditation brings the focus inward and allows the person to feel what's going on within their body, Zorn said. "You're engaged in being, not doing," he said. "We're human beings, not human doings."

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
By looking at "Comfortable Camps?" Archeology of the Confederate Guard Camp at the Florence Stockade, students can more easily understand the workings of a Civil War prison camp, including not only prisoners' living conditions, but also that of the guards. The following activities will provide students with an opportunity to better comprehend the Civil War prison experience and the toll it took in lives, and also understand ways in which archeological investigations help us learn more about the past.
Activity 1: Design a Campground
For the guard's camp, the students should consider that by this point in the Civil War, manufactured goods were difficult to obtain. For example, a battalion of troops might only have access to one ax and one shovel for the entire group. Nails and sawn lumber were also difficult to get. Remember that they had access to large numbers of trees and were able to ask for help from the citizens of Florence. The students should consider placement of their camp on the landscape relative to elevation and access to drinking water. Each camp must include shelter for the troops, an area for the disposal of trash, toilet facilities and an area for the storage of food. The students can add whatever other types of facilities that they think would have helped the soldiers in camp. They should draw on what they have learned from this lesson so far and can supplement their knowledge by doing more research on other Civil War period camps.
The prison camp should be designed from the perspective of the prisoners. Most of the prisoners at Florence arrived there with the clothing that they wore and little else. Some had managed to keep a blanket or part of a tent. No building materials were supplied by the Confederates for the prisoners to construct shelters. The only available materials were the branches from pine trees that were cleared during the construction of the stockade. Based on what they have learned about the way the Florence Stockade was constructed, the students should design a shelter. They can choose to design a shelter for just themselves or for a group, remembering that a group might have more tools, such as a canteen or a pocket knife. They can also choose where within the stockade to place their camp, but must explain why. They also should design their camp on paper, and then present it as a diorama. The students should draw on information provided in this lesson and should do additional research on other Civil War prisons, such as the one at Andersonville, Georgia.
Have each group present their design and diorama to the class and explain why they created their camp the way they did. You might also consider arranging to have the dioramas displayed in the school library or auditorium where the students can explain their work to other classes.
Activity 2: Archeology of Your Room
Activity 3: Learning about war veterans buried in your Community
In the case of the local cemetery students should focus on the Civil War veterans buried there and focus on answering the following questions:
If you have a national cemetery in your vicinity find out if there are certain days of year (Veterans Day/ Memorial Day) when the graves are decorated with flags and have your students participate in the commemorative program. If the local cemetery is in need of upkeep organize a clean-up day or conduct needed research on the Civil War veterans buried there.
Activity 4: Women in the Civil War

Coping With Co-Pays
I am concerned about the cost of treatments. I have Medicare, but I am responsible for a 20% co-pay for every chemo infusion, not to mention other pills I take. What can I do?
Christina Bach, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine, responds:
Thanks for asking such an important question. You are right to be concerned about that 20% copay for your chemo infusions. You do have some options, and these options can be changed during open enrollment of healthcare plans (for instance, Medicare Open Enrollment occurs every year from sometime in October through early December). During this time, you can make changes and additions to your plans, including the purchase of a secondary or Medigap policy. For in-depth information about this, please see my blog, "Christina's Resource Round-Up" on OncoLink, which covers many of the different issues to keep in mind when thinking about making coverage changes.
Also, you may be eligible for copay assistance through several private copay foundations, including the Cancer Care Copay Foundation and The Chronic Disease Fund. These organizations provide substantial awards for those who meet financial and diagnostic criteria (up to $10,000 per year). Ask you social worker or navigator for more specific information about copay foundations and how to apply for these.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Telephone Company Demoted and Discharged Employees Because of Their Age and Failed to Hire Qualified Applicants Over the Age of 40, Federal Agency Charges
RICHMOND, Va. – Richmond-based Cavalier Telephone, LLC violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) by discriminating against employees and a class of job applicants because of their age and retaliating against two employees for complaining about the discrimination, the U.S. Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit (EEOC v. Cavalier Telephone, LLC, Civ. Action No. 3:10-cv-664), filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division, on or about June 2003 and September 2003, employees Benjamin Heaney and Leonard Pearson made several complaints to Cavalier management concerning a Cavalier recruiter making age-based comments and using age as a criterion for hiring sales staff. The recruiter made comments such as that Cavalier was on a "youth movement" and that the company was only looking for candidates who were "young and fit." The recruiter also made comments indicating a preference for "young" (under age 40) candidates for sales positions, and would not let Heaney hire qualified candidates over 40 years of age or older.
In October 2003, after repeated complaints to Cavalier management, Heaney was demoted and subsequently discharged after several disciplinary actions that the EEOC asserts were discriminatory and retaliatory. Pearson was also demoted after opposing the defendant's unlawful hiring practices, and later resigned. At the time of their demotions and Heaney's discharge, both men were over the age of 40.
The EEOC charged that the recruiter indicated both verbally and in writing that Cavalier was looking for candidates for its sales positions who were "recent college graduates," and in their "early 20s or 30s." Cavalier offered its employees a $500 bonus for referral of a "friend's younger brother and sister." As a result of the discriminatory recruitment and hiring, Cavalier has maintained a workforce that under-represents people age 40 and over in its sales positions in its mid-Atlantic region.
Specifically, the EEOC's suit charges that beginning in May of 2003 and continuing, Cavalier continually failed and refused to hire a class of qualified applicants who were age 40 and over for its sales account executive positions within Cavalier's mid-Atlantic region, which is composed of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the District of Columbia.
Finally, the EEOC charged that Cavalier violated EEOC regulations and the record-keeping requirements of the ADEA by failing to keep applications and other documents related to its hiring procedures.
Age discrimination and retaliation for complaining about it violate the ADEA. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
In its complaint, the EEOC seeks rightful-place hiring, front pay and back pay for the class members, who will be identified during the litigation, as well as injunctive relief. EEOC also seeks compensatory damages and punitive damages for Heaney and Pearson. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
"In these times when our economy presents challenges to employment stability, employers cannot refuse to hire qualified older workers because of their age; it is illegal," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District Office, which oversees litigation filed by the agency in Virginia. "Employers must also be mindful of the fact that federal law prohibits them from taking adverse employment actions against employees who oppose discriminatory practices in the workplace."
Cavalier operates facilities in the following locations within its mid-Atlantic region where EEOC alleges the discriminatory hiring occurred: Richmond, Herndon, Hampton Roads, and Fredericksburg, Virginia; Baltimore and Salisbury, Maryland; Atlantic City, Princeton, and Trenton, New Jersey; Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Wilmington, Delaware.
According to Barnes, "One of the biggest challenges in this lawsuit will be to find class members. EEOC will have to identify people age 40 or older, who applied or attempted to apply to work for Cavalier in a sales position so that it can determine whether they qualify as a class member. This will be difficult because some people may have been 'chilled' from applying and thus did not submit an application. Also, Cavalier did not keep applications for some candidates who actually applied. Thus, it will be hard to find all those persons who were denied hire by Cavalier between 2003 and the present, because they are age 40 or older. But we will persevere and strive to identify everyone harmed by Cavalier's discriminatory policies, and make sure they receive just restitution."
Cavalier provides business and residential customers with telephone, high-speed Internet and digital TV services in seven markets across five states and the District of Columbia. It employs more than 500 people.
The EEOC enforces the nation's laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. More information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.
