Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal's counter to Obama's economics
HH: One of the individuals I'll be introducing that night, the keynote speaker, is my next guest, from the great state of Louisiana, Governor Bobby Jindal. Governor, welcome back to the Hugh Hewitt Show.
BJ: Hugh, thank you so much for having me. I'm looking forward to seeing you next week in our nation's capitol.
HH: I'm looking forward to seeing the reporters chasing you around asking why you're not taking the stimulus money. So let's start there. I think this is a very important story, and I want to hear your side of it first.
BJ: You know, here's the thing, you're talking about temporary federal dollars that would require us to make permanent changes in state law, creating permanent new state spending obligations. Here's what I'm talking about. When you read the stimulus bill, to take this money in the unemployment program, we would have to permanently change Louisiana's unemployment laws, changing who's eligible, how they become eligible, how much they get paid, and the federal money runs out. Now we've said that just doesn't make sense. It's not good for Louisiana's taxpayers. The way that unemployment law works, this would result in a tax increase on our businesses. I've said from day one we will not raise taxes on our people, on our businesses. It makes no sense. It would actually hurt the economy. At first, we had a Democratic Senator come out and say well, no, you can just do a sunset clause, a temporary increase. And I said well, that's great except that's not what the stimulus bill says. I know it was a thousand pages, I know they passed it late at night. You know, they got it late at night and they passed it really quickly. But you read the language, and it's very clear. You've got to make a permanent change in state law, you're not allowed to sunset it, you're not allowed to do it temporarily, you're not allowed to do any of those things. And to me, that's just not a good use of our taxpayer dollars. So I said we're not going to take temporary federal dollars to create permanent state spending. We're not going to raise taxes on Louisiana businesses. Other states have begun to say the same thing – Texas, Mississippi. It raises a bigger point about this whole stimulus package, nearly a trillion dollars in spending. And you know, I've been criticized for pointing out I don't think we need to be spending a billion dollars on the Census. I don't think we need to be spending $300 million dollars buying the federal government new cars, $50 million dollars on the National Endowment for Arts. I don't think that's targeted, temporary spending. If it's legitimate spending, let it go through the normal budget process. Let it be paid for. What's it doing in the stimulus package? Here's the thing. They started talking about infrastructure. Less than 5% of that trillion dollars goes to infrastructure. They started talking about tax cuts, that was the one place they got cheap. That's the one place where they actually reduced the size of this bill. What concerns me was that it looks to me like it was an excuse to pass a lot of expensive government spending that these Congressional committees have been waiting to do for years. It's not clear to me how this grows the economy. It's not clear to me how this is temporary, targeted spending. That's what we were promised when the stimulus package was being debated.
HH: Now Governor Jindal, the state senator you mentioned, Eric LaFleur, now wants to encourage the state legislature to pass what the stimulus bill provided, which is an overriding resolution. Now my colleague at Chapman Law School, Ronald Rotunda, wrote a piece in the Chicago Tribune this week saying that's just patently unconstitutional. Forget the economics of this, and I agree with your argument about permanent state obligations for temporary federal aid, the idea that they can amend the state constitution to allow a workaround of the governor is astonishing to me.
BJ: Well, I don't know that there are a whole lot of people in Washington that have read the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. I'm not sure they really realize what's there. But the reality is this. You've got a state senator down here, you've got the AFL-CIO, they did a march today on the Capitol today to try to disagree with my decision. You've got others, but the bottom line is this. Whether they pass this resolution or not, and we're going to oppose it, and the Louisiana Association of Businesses and Industries will oppose it, National Federation of Independent Businesses is going to oppose it, but the reality is this, they would have to change unemployment law in our state for us to comply with this provision. I will veto that change. I'm not going to, it makes no sense to be raising taxes on businesses. We actually have a trust fund that's pretty healthy, over $1.4 billion dollars in our unemployment trust fund. We don't need federal loans. We don't need a federal bailout. We actually, this last year, we cut our unemployment taxes and raised our benefits, because our trust fund was healthy enough to allow us to do that, and we've done that by working together with our employers, with the employees. It doesn't make sense for the federal government to come in. Look, if they want to come in and try to get states to change their policies, they can try to do that. But we have the right to say no. We as governors, we as states have the right to say it doesn't make sense for our states to take this money for us to do this. I suspect there'll be folks that'll try to overturn this decision, but again, I've got the veto power, and I've made it very clear. We'll veto any change that causes an increase in taxes. It just makes no sense for me. We had another legislator today that's saying well, we're going to solve our budget problems by increasing cigarette taxes. We've had some that wanted to repeal an income tax cut we've made. We've made it very clear. We're going to have to do more with less. Our budget's going to cut spending by 10% overall, cut state spending about 13%, but that's the responsible thing to do. Most families in Louisiana, in America, most companies, when they've got less money, they spend less. Only in Washington do they print money, borrow money and act like they can do that with immunity.
HH: Your budget also calls for 1,400 state government jobs to go away. You're going to cut college spending by I guess about $219 million. In other words, it's an austerity budget. I would like to know if you've taken the time yet, if you've had the time yet, to look at your unfunded pension obligations, because that's what's killing my home state of California, that's what's killing a lot of state governments across the country, and it's a ticking time bomb at many state and local government levels that people just don't know about.
BJ: That's exactly right. We actually put some money aside, we dedicated some money last year towards that. It's not a real sexy thing to do, not a lot of people really paid a lot of attention to it, but we said you know, we've got an opportunity to put a down payment…for us, it's something that's decades away, but we've got to start paying towards that now. I want to go back to something you said about the budget. The reality is since 2006, after the storms here in Louisiana, spending grew fairly quickly, at a very aggressive rate. Basically what we're saying is we need a sustainable amount of government spending. We're selling a prison up in Northeast Louisiana to the private sector who says they can operate it more efficiently. We're going to merge a couple of adolescent hospitals in Southeast Louisiana. We've got some group homes where the private sector can operate it more efficiently than we can. We're selling a nursing home in Southeast Louisiana. If the legislature adopts this budget, we'll have eliminated at least over 3,000 funded positions. Not all of those are filled, a lot of times through retirements and attrition, you've got a whole lot of vacancies but that are still funded. We're preventing agencies from backfilling those positions. You know, I make the argument we're going back to a more sustainable level of government. We cut taxes six times last year, but we've made it clear the answer is not, not, I repeat not to raise taxes. The answer is not to use gimmicks to delay the day of reckoning. The time is tighten our belt. We know we're going to have to do this this year, next year, but families and businesses do this all the time. What scares me in Washington, yeah they passed a trillion dollar stimulus plan. Then it was a $410 billion dollar appropriations bill with over 8-9,000 earmarks. And now, a $3.6 trillion dollar budget for the next year proposed by the administration. Think about this, if you agreed with every assumption they make, assume the temporary programs really are temporary and don't become permanent, assume that the economy rebounds later this year, assume that they cut a whole lot of money in defense spending, because all of a sudden our troops are able to come home from a lot of places, assume all that. Even if you assumed all the things they want us to assume, I don't agree with all those assumptions, but assume all that, they still predict deficits of over half a trillion dollars a year. Today, the CBO came out and said we've got debt of nearly $11 trillion dollars. Hugh, our kids, our grandchildren are going to pay for that. And that means inflation, that means interest rates go up, that means our currency is not going to be as valuable. Right now, our Secretary of State's already going to the Chinese asking them to buy our Treasuries. Imagine how much worse this is going to get. This spending's not free. And then you add on top of that, in the guise of addressing the economy, they've got over $600 billion dollars on undefined, ill-defined health care reform. They're talking about cap and trade and energy taxes that could seriously decrease the amount of energy we produce domestically. What I worry about is not only this spending but some of the policies that are assumed in this budget, that are hidden in this budget. Make no mistake about it, these are huge, huge decisions about to be made in Washington that'll have implications for our children and grandchildren. We need to have a real debate in this country about the size and the role and the cost of government. And what I worry about is under the guise of addressing the economy, they're trying to get a lot of things done without having that debate.
HH: Now Governor, next time we'll do health care, because you've got a lot of experience in that, and it's starting to heat up. But I do want to conclude by talking a little politics with you. You gave the response to President Obama, you got banged around by a lot of critics in the media, some in the Republican Party. You're back on the horse, obviously, talking again. What did that experience teach you if anything?
BJ: Well, a couple of things. Look, I'll be the first to tell you I'm not nearly as good of a speaker as our president, and hat's off to him. But I hope people will focus on the substance. You know, if people want to say great, look that governor down in Louisiana, he's not, maybe he speaks too quickly, too slowly, I don't have any problem with that. My skin is thick, and I don't have any problem with that. But I hope people don't dismiss the ideas, because it's a very important debate we need to have in this country. Just because our president is charismatic and smart and popular doesn't mean that we don't need to have a real debate about the right role of government going forward, the right size of government. And what I was saying that night was that when it comes to energy policy, we believe in nuclear as well as solar and wind and more domestic production of oil and gas. We believe in all of that. When I talked about education, I talked about the school choice in initiative we did in New Orleans, and the fact that we believe in putting children first. When I talked about taxes, we believe in cutting, not raising taxes. When I talked about ethics reforms, talked about what we did in a bipartisan way in Louisiana. In other words, I was outlining an alternative, and on that night, we only knew about the trillion dollar stimulus bill. We didn't know at that point they were going to sign the $410 billion dollar appropriations bill, an 8% increase. We didn't know at that point they were going to propose a $3.6 trillion dollar spending bill. So what I hope people will do is look at what's being…this is a huge shift, huge shift in the role, scope, size of government. We all need to be concerned about this. We all need to be concerned.
HH: Governor, great talking to you, I'll see you next week in Washington, D.C., looking forward to it. Thank you, Bobby Jindal.

For urban renewal, redevelopment, or new development managed by a regional stormwater management facility, municipalities generally require a conformance study of some sort, showing that the proposed development conforms to previously approved land development or stormwater management permits. This usually takes the form of some engineering checks, some simple figures, and either a letter or a short report showing conformance.
As an engineer, you may need a specialist to evaluate the conformance of your design to a previous design. As an architect or owner, you may no longer have a suitable working relationship with the engineer who performed the previous study. In any case, Campbell Civil Consulting can acquire the previously approved hydrology study, review your current design, and evaluate it for conformance to the previous permit. Fees for hydrologic conformance studies vary with the complexity of the project and the rigor of the municipality, and can range from several hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. Please feel free to contact Campbell Civil Consulting about your project to discuss the particulars, and request a quote.

Teaching children about missions is important. Tonight I found several great websites that offer missions education for children. These were links I found on the Kids page from Wycliffe Bible translators.
Just for fun, I asked my 8 year old Son to check out these sites and give me a few comments for this post. I've put his thoughts in quotes new to each link below.
Wycliffe's Kids Web — An interactive environment with games and animated characters. This site is packed with information and missionary stories for children, but in an engaging format. My son said, "The suitcase and phone talking were a little weird. The fun facts were FUN. The things kids can do is cool."
SIM Kids Website — More quality missionary lessons for kids. The interface is a little less advanced, but the map interface gives a great geographic context to the missions infoformation. My son said, "Check out the stories."
New Tribes Mission's Kidstuff
— Exciting missionary story for kids with coloring pages or activities included. These would be great sunday school resources. My son said, "You should read the story God at the controls. Really, you should really read it."
Kidz Place from the North American Mission Board — A little less in-depth than the other sites, but still a handy resource. This site deals with doing missions where we live by telling others about Jesus. My son said, "It's pretty cool, read Out There."

RSVP Voices: Anne's story
In 2008, retired attorney Anne Davis joined RSVP's Financial Coaching Corps as one its first volunteers. Why? "I don't want people to feel alone. There are many people who, even in this horrendous economy, are really working hard at getting themselves into a better place. You meet remarkable people who are so motivated, really working on finding careers, on learning how to find work. This is my favorite volunteer job. I love it!"
One volunteer's empowering approach to financial stability
"Almost all my clients come in because of credit card and other debt that has become unmanageable, and because they are strapped for cash. People just have huge burdens.
On the RSVP Financial Coaching Corps process: "We start off by talking with everyone, to find out what their most pressing issue is. The CSS financial coaching program was designed to help people learn how to save, and to have a goal. Then we can determine which debt should have priority and work from there.
Many of our clients are very low-income, and their lives are very circumscribed. And many don't know they are eligible for things like food stamps, or rent assistance for example, so we make sure that FCC clients can also take advantage of other CSS services to help them access public benefits for which they're eligible."

So cute! And you're not the only one who thinks the pinafore looks like an ice-cream seller's uniform. I see it, too!ReplyDelete
Haha, oh, sometimes my underwear definitely makes me feel more put-together! Especially if it inadvertently matches in color, or is just really pretty.
I've been seeing ILC all over the place. I really need to jump on that bandwagon since earrings like that exist from them!ReplyDelete
Also I'm kind of enamored with your lip color. You pull off the pastel SO WELL!
Those earrings are just beautiful and so summery! Love the pinafore and lipstick shade too!ReplyDelete

Study: Stress Increases Cancer Risk
Stress can increase the risk of cancer. A study out of Japan looked at thousands of men and women between 1990 and 2012. For those who reported a lot of stress or a marked increase in stress, the risk of developing cancer was 20% higher. Researchers saw particularly high cases of liver and prostate cancer.
The study suggests that stress could weaken the immune system.

Todays post is going to be a review of a foundation I have been using over the last couple of weeks.
The foundation in question is one from a more 'high-end' brand which is NARS.
I was given a Space-NK gift card a while ago, and even though I had often lusted after the products they sold, I had never actually gone into the store near me.
I was in need of a new foundation as my usual Estee Lauder Double Wear Light only had a couple of uses left, and after reading so many great reviews on the NARS Sheer Glow I thought I would give this a try!
When I went into the store I asked to be colour matched, and I was matched with shade 'Mont Blanc'
The assistant applied a little to my jawline and I left the store and went about my day to see how it looked and felt on my skin before actually parting with my voucher for the foundation. I went back in later the next day to pick up a bottle.
I've now been using this foundation for a while, so I now can give it a proper review.
The bottle is rectangle shaped glass with the NARS branding on the side. It has a screw top lid, but the bottle doesn't come with a pump.
You can buy the pump separately (£3 in Space-NK). I found this a little disappointing, but it was something that I could overlook and I have found that you just need to be careful not to pour out too much product as it's a very runny formula.
The foundation comes in a wide choice of colours, 20 to be exact! So finding a shade to suit my skin tone was easy. I am shade 'Light 2 - Mont Blanc' This was a perfect match for me.
This product is described as a 'Glowing, natural radiant foundation, with Sheer and buildable coverage'
For me it definitely does give a 'glow' that my regular foundation doesn't. This is one of the main reasons I bought it. My skin can look very dull in the winter months, and I felt I needed something to give it a boost.
Personally, I haven't found the foundation to be that Sheer. It's a lot lighter on the skin than I'm used to, but it's certainly buildable. When I've applied it, it really gives me a very natural but radiant look which I love. It doesn't look cakey and it's great for daytime makeup.
I apply it with one of my Real Techniques brushes, either the Stippling brush, or the Foundation brush.
Staying Power:
This is the only downside to this foundation for me. My skin type is normal, but I do get a slightly oily t-zone half way through the day. Usually my Estee Lauder foundation and Rimmel Stay matte pressed powder work really well together and my makeup doesn't melt off during the day. Sometimes I do apply a little powder just on my t-zone in the afternoon if needed, but not often.
With the Sheer Glow touching up at lunch time was a must. I found that on my nose and chin the product wold really start to slide, and this was with me applying pressed powder to set the foundation in the mornings.
I wouldn't wear this foundation on a night out as I can imagine it disappearing completely when in hot bars and clubs.
I think it would be more suited to somebody with dryer skin.
Overall Thoughts:
I really like this foundation for a daytime look, but for £31 I would want a foundation that wouldn't start disappearing on me after a few hours. Also the foundation doesn't contain any SPF which I found a bit disappointing.
Would I buy this again? Maybe. I loved that it made my skin look so radiant and alive. You don't need to use much product either so the 30ml bottle will last me a while.
I'll certainly finish up the bottle and see how I get on, but I have seen the NARS Sheer Matte foundation on the Space-NK website so I might ask for a sample of that next time as it could be more suited to me.
Has anyone tried the NARS Foundations? If so, what did you think?
Thanks for reading

Playing bingo needs more than luck or skills and techniques, contrary to what most believe. Bingo, just like any game of chance, comes with rules and regulations that players should observe. Being a player comes with responsibilities and etiquette.
Winning the Game
The moment you figured out you won, you must immediately yell BINGO, and it should be loud enough for the floor walker to hear. The pot money shall be given to the winner once their winning card is confirmed. Well, in winning or once you know you just won, the most important thing is that you shout the winning word BEFORE the time elapses. If the game proceeds and the next number is mentioned and you failed to shout "Bingo", your winning card is disqualified. Therefore, this is the rule you must know.
There may be cases when there are two winners, and in this case the pot money shall be divided equally among the winners. Supposing there are two winning cards, the two winners will share half the prize money.
Bingo Game Rules
Bingo rules are basically the same no matter in which Online Bingo hall you play. But still it's good if you know these rules by heart. If it is your first try, then ask for handouts and inquire from pros regarding the game rules. Nonetheless, the ideal thing to do if you have questions is to ask the floor walker and not the person seated beside you. You should clarify things and doubts before the game starts because asking too many questions as the game proceeds could well distract you. This guideline also applies to those who are newcomers at casinos, those who play roulette for the first time.
Bingo halls demand an age limit of 18 years old. If you are below this age, you are prohibited to play. Some bingo houses ban alcohol inside, so players aren't supposed to take liquor nor drink it inside the venue. Smoking may also be restricted inside the venue, as there are designated smoking sections.
Take note that some Bingo houses don't allow food but some do, so it basically depends on the venue. Policies vary among different venues. For instance, some bingo halls allow reservation of cards, while others don't allow it. Some allow people to leave the venue in the middle of the game, others forbid it. But there are general policies observed in all bingo houses, such as disqualification of tampered bingo cards. There is no way you can get away with a tampered card because the walkers are adept at identifying authentic cards from tampered ones. You could be banned from a bingo establishment if proven liable of tampering a card. Hence, you should play honestly.
Interestingly, some venues offer special bingo games for kids although some halls don't allow players to have companions while playing. Suppose you bring kids with you, don't let them run around the venue and bother other gamers. They should behave well whilst you play and the game proceeds. Play quietly and don't recite the numbers you desperately want to come off because you'll be much of a disturbance if you do. Decorous playing is expectant of all players, even those who play roulette at casinos. Also, having a valid identification is important because you don't know you might win and need to present credentials.

Phase II
PHASE II: Planning the Dream
Building a Foundation for life
The goal of SOBA College Recovery is not only to create a safe and stable environment for our clients, but also to prepare them for "life after treatment." Having developed the foundations of a healthy body and mind as well as healthy decision making and behavior, clients enter Phase II and begin planning for the future.
In Phase II, the foundation is built for a well rounded balance of future employment and higher education. Goals are established by closely working with case managers and academic advisers to find the correct path for clients based on their talents, skills and needs. Resume construction, interview coaching, job searches, enrollment assistance and syllabus management are among the services we focus on for our Phase II clients.
In Phase II, clients also begin to develop on their own autonomy. In addition to the clinical treatment they receive for drug and alcohol treatment, they perform necessary daily and weekly functions. This includes everything from shopping for their own food to taking part in leisure and adventure activities of their choosing. They also work with a 12-step Sponsor, work the 12 Steps and attend meetings. Toward the end of this phase, the feelings of uneasiness and anxiety begin to be replaced by the excitement of the opportunities set before them.
PHASE II Resources and Treatment
Clinical Therapy
Clients in Phase II maintain access to weekly individual therapy sessions as well as attending group session. Psychiatric care and medication management services continue as needed and individualized treatment modalities begin to tailor the growing needs of the individual in this crucial developmental period.
Case Management
Case managers continue to seamlessly provide guidance to clients as they progress from Phase I. Additionally, they continue to act as the main point of contact for family members. This is the time to implement planning for career success through education and employment opportunities in the New Brunswick area, through the guidance and close development of each client's needs. With access to several local colleges as well as Rutgers University two blocks from our Sober Living location for Phase II, clients have a wealth of opportunities for personal success.
Support Staff
Our support staff is ever present as role models for clients. As the clients begin working, learning and volunteering in the local community, our support staff model the necessary dress, professionalism and behavioral habits needed to succeed. All phases of treatment maintain access to support staff 24 hours a day through their length of treatment.

Kiva representing at the Giants parade in downtown San Francisco.
The dichotomy between the images of revelry in San Francisco and the horrific devastation on the East Coast is alarming.
Here at Kiva, we have been closely following the news and are inspired by everyone who has come together to reshape affected communities.
Global issues and alleviation of poverty are at the forefront of Kiva's goals, so we wanted to highlight the impact Hurricane Sandy has had not only on the U.S. but also in the Caribbean, where the death toll has climbed past 70.
Wall Street Journal: Haiti Death Toll Rises After Hurricane Sandy
The death toll in the Caribbean from Hurricane Sandy continues to rise and estimates of damage and destruction it caused grew larger as more complete assessments emerged from throughout the region.
Huffington Post: Haiti, Jamaica officials report losses from Sandy
In Jamaica, where Sandy's center made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane and killed one man, the economic toll of the storm was at least $16.5 million, Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller announced Tuesday.
In many ways, natural disasters illustrate the interconnectivity we have as global citizens. As part of the Kiva community, we know that microfinance is an essential tool for people in disaster situations, enabling them to start rebuilding their lives and improving their living conditions.
Below, are a few Haitian borrowers who are close to their fundraising goals and could use a boost during these uncertain times.
The group of Le Marges de Ponigo is located in the northern region of Haiti where electricity is scarce and water is very limited. Their group loan of $5,000 is almost complete and they are $750 away from their goal. Their food sales business needs the loan to expand and help with coal sales, clothing sales and cosmetics sales.
Convention De Bedou Group's $4,550 loan will help members purchase clothing to sell. They are more than half-way to their goal. They live in the Ferrier region of Haiti, which also suffers from lack of infrastructure and resources.
Giving is universal, and there are many ways to help during this crisis. If you want to lend to more borrowers from Haiti you can read their stories and lend on the website.

Hi all, can you answer directly (i'm not in mail list). Question is (in simplified terms): if document that we finally got on paper consists of 30 pages, does that mean that there were something like 31 "transformations" (to produce each and every page)?

As fellow alumni of the Visual Communication program at UNC-Chapel Hill, we invite you to join us in supporting emerging visual journalists by contributing to the Visual Storytellers Community Fund.
The Fund is a new, alumni-founded endowment that will create an annual scholarship for photo and video journalism students to participate in the Carolina Photojournalism Workshop tuition-free. Recipients are also connected with mentors and professional contacts through our expansive and varied alumni network.
A small group of alumni has been granting this need-based scholarship out-of-pocket since 2013, and we need your support to make it an official and self-sustaining fund. We are working toward a goal of $25,000.
We have an amazing network of UNC visual journalists that infiltrates almost every city and news organization across the country with an incredible range of experience and expertise. But it is tough to start a career in this field, especially with the ever-increasing costs of higher education and participating in projects that build your portfolio. Our aim is to build community among our alumni network, give emerging visual journalists opportunities to grow their careers when they might not otherwise be able to afford it, and support those who are underrepresented in the field either by race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomics, age or any other factors.
What can you do right now?
- Donate!
- Share! (Invite alumni to join us: We've even drafted some emails for you.)
- Get in touch! (Want to be a mentor or contact for recipients? Let us know: firstname.lastname@example.com)

While most camps are sports oriented, De La Salle Collegiate High School's 2015 Summer Camp lineup includes a "Banking Camp" for boys and girls entering 7th, 8th, or 9th grade this fall. The Banking Camp concentrates on financial literacy.
Christian Financial Credit Union (CFCU), which is starting its 6th school year of partnership with De La Salle for the CFCU branch inside of DLS, is sponsoring and participating in the camp, which runs July 27 – 30, from 1 – 4:30 p.m. each day.
The camp's leaders are Mrs. Aarran Meier, the DLS CFCU Branch Administrator, and Mr. Dennis Koch, the DLS Banking class teacher. .
Mr. Bill Burkhardt, DLS Admissions Director, said, "This camp is a great example of our commitment to expand our offerings for both current and prospective families. Having CFCU as a partner is an added bonus because the staff will be able to lend real world experiences to the camp participants."
Mrs. Meier and Mr. Koch are developing the camp, along with camp "counselors" Kevin Jones, Mike Smigiel, and Jon Miko. Kevin is entering his senior year at DLS, while Mike and Jon are recent graduates. All three were part of the CFCU program at DLS this past year.
Kevin and his CFCU/Banking classmates have created various activities to improve the campers' understanding of banking and the financial world in an easy and fun way. Mr. Koch notes that many of the students have younger brothers and sisters. "Having the input and ideas from the current Banking students has made a difference," he said.
Time will be devoted to teaching campers the practical aspects of finance in everyday life, such as buying groceries, keeping a checkbook, and investing in a savings account.
"I'm enjoying working on developing various fun activities that are also educational to get kids involved in the financial world," said Kevin. "The Banking class this year opened my eyes to what the real world and the business world is like."
Kevin trained with CFCU in 2014, and will again work this summer at a CFCU branch. He's looking forward to the new Business and Management class at DLS.
Mr. Koch and Mrs. Meier are very enthusiastic about the camp. "I'm very excited to be a part of this unique camp," said Mrs. Meier. "The skills the students learn are practical and important skills they will need no matter what career path they choose in life."
Mr. Koch echoes these feelings. "I'm excited to be part of a camp to encourage students' interest in business and to develop some financial literacy. We're going to have a lot of fun activities, competitions, and prizes to appeal to this particular age group."
The Banking Camp is one of several camp offerings at DLS this summer, including the highly popular Robotics and Math Camps.
"We are proud of our innovative approach to summer camps," said DLS Principal Mr. Patrick Adams. "This experience will provide real world tools for each young person attending."
Christine Quitter, Business Development Manager for CFCU, said, "CFCU is thrilled to sponsor and participate in DLS's Banking Camp this summer. It is important for young men and women to grasp basic financial literacy skills, and there is no better way than by example and practice. We are grateful for the partnership between DLS and Christian Financial Credit Union."

Yeah, I have no idea either why this one wasn't posted yet! But I do know I tried to capture it twice (browsing in my unposted folder, thinking "hey didn't I just see this as well?" lol), and I went with the first attempt now from early this year. It's a grey that flashes pink and green, ánd it's a holographic! It's a subtle holo effect (but I struggled with capturing it as well) and all combined it makes for a gorgeous and unique polish.

Modern Europe requires a new security system which could be built up based on the Helsinki Accords of 1975, Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Alexey Meshkov said in an interview with TASS on Tuesday.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Ministerial Council in Basel, Switzerland, on December 4-5 could agree on a new deal tentatively called Helsinki +40 based on a key pact that launched a security process in Europe 40 years ago, he said.
"It is important to return to the origins and principles which were laid down in this document and try to boost a new system of European security. It should create convenient conditions for all the member-states and not build additional barriers," the diplomat said.
"Today it is not a secret for anyone that certain countries and regional organizations are subject to rather serious influence with the goal of hindering relations with Russia. We do not accept such an approach," Meshkov said, calling for adopting a fair and open policy that would encourage the development of economic cooperation.
The Russian diplomat said although some people already understand the essence of the current events, there are others for whom "what is happening today is a propaganda war in which partners should not be listened to."
As the preparations are underway for the Basel summit, to be attended by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the effort is hampered as some Western delegations try to include "an unacceptable wording linked to the Ukrainian crisis" even in any absolutely neutral decisions, Meshkov said.
"Europe, in the broadest sense of the word, is waiting for a positive signal at this summit. So do the economic operators and the civil society," he said, adding that if the sides manage to make progress towards implementing the idea this will be an important result.
"We are down-to-earth and we believe that the talks won't be easy," Meshkov stressed. "However, it is necessary to think about in what direction we are moving: towards further confrontation or starting mulling over a new system of European security," he said.
Russia's EU envoy, Vladimir Chizhov, told the Izvestia newspaper last week "this idea (signing of new agreement on security and cooperation in Europe — TASS) may take particular shapes" in Basel. "This is now being discussed as part of the OSCE," he said.
The draft declaration of the Helsinki +40 was signed in December 2013 in Kiev by the foreign ministers of the OSCE member-states, including Russia. Its aim is to rebuild trust and improve efficiency of the international venue.
Lavrov then said the document laid the basis for the work on drafting a declaration by 2015, marking the 40th anniversary of the OSCE and the Helsinki Accords.
However, the February coup in Ukraine and the civil war in the country's east has led to a sharp deterioration in relations between Russia, the European Union and the United States, creating the threat of a new cold war.

|Laporte family thank Emergency Communications Officer, Rhonda Osadczuk (right)
Pat was woken at 5 a.m.by a frantic Leah, who at 39 weeks pregnant was losing blood. Stumbling from bed, Pat dialled 9-1-1 and his call was quickly answered by Public Safety Communications (PSC) Emergency Communications Officer Rhonda Osadczuk, a new employee who had been answering calls on her own for just two weeks. Pat explained to her what was happening and Rhonda quickly moved through protocol questions while arranging for an ambulance to be dispatched. She then stayed on the line with Pat, keeping him calm and giving him instructions. It took just six minutes for the ambulance to arrive.
After the terrifying ordeal was over and Pat's healthy son Liam was safely born he sent a letter to all the individuals involved in his son's birth – the 9-1-1 emergency communications officer, the paramedics, the doctors and the nurses.
"It was literally minutes either way deciding the outcome of my son's future. The care he received gave him a future, and made my January 18th only terrifying, not life-shattering," said proud dad Pat.
To celebrate National Public Safety Telecommunications Week (April 14-20), the Laporte family visited Calgary's Public Safety Communications 9-1-1 centre, where they were able to meet Rhonda. A few tears were shed when the family presented Rhonda with the Lifesaver Pin – a special token given to emergency communications officers - along with a photo of Liam with a special message on the back thanking Rhonda for saving his life.
"Meeting Rhonda was so awesome," explained Leah. "You go through such a crazy experience and most of the people that helped you, you never get to say thank you in person or give them a hug. It was really satisfying to be able to do that."

1. Mammoth Lakes Doctor Accused of Sex Crimes with Santa Barbara Teen Found Dead
The truly bizarre case of Dr. Andrew Bourne, a respected Mammoth Lakes surgeon and school board member who was charged with a friend in a Santa Barbara child-sex investigation, took an equally bizarre turn Jan. 24 when he was found dead of an apparent suicide.
Bourne, 46, and Joseph Walker, 48, both of Mammoth Lakes, were arrested Jan. 4 by Santa Barbara police on suspicion of illegally contacting a minor for sexual activity. They pleaded not guilty and were released on bail Jan. 10.
Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley said Walker may face additional charges in the case, which allegedly involves a now-16-year-old Santa Barbara girl whose family was friends with both men.
2. Santa Barbara Doctor Pleads Not Guilty to Federal Charges of Overprescribing
Dr. Julio Diaz pleaded not guilty Jan. 23 to 12 federal counts of overprescribing prescription drugs. The 63-year-old Santa Barbara physician was arrested by Drug Enforcement Administration agents Jan. 4 after a lengthy investigation of his practice and prescribing habits.
If convicted, Diaz faces a total sentence of 300 years — 20 years for each of seven counts of distribution, and 40 years for each of four distribution counts to people younger than age 21.

The six-week investigative series, which appeared in the fall of 2011, was the result of a partnership with USC's Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, which awarded Noozhawk a California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowship to undertake this important work.
3. Santa Barbara School Board Votes to Put $54-Per-Parcel Tax Measure on June Ballot
With the ongoing vacuum of leadership in Sacramento, more and more local jurisdictions are taking matters into their own hands when it comes to creative ways to finance certain projects and services. The Santa Barbara Unified School District has become particularly adept at the bond and parcel tax process, which at least ensures local control over often vital initiatives.
On Jan. 24, Noozhawk staff writer Giana Magnoli reported that SBUSD trustees have agreed to a June ballot measure that would impose a $54-per-parcel tax, beginning in July 2013 when parcel tax Measures H and I expire. If voters approve the measure by a two-thirds margin, the money will be used for math, science, technology, music, arts, foreign language and theater programs.
4. ParentClick.com, a Go-To Source for Santa Barbara Families, Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary
On Jan. 23, Rachael Steidl was the brightest star shining at the milestone anniversary celebration of ParentClick.com, the parents-resource Web site she founded in 2002. Rachael's site has seen phenomenal growth over the last 10 years and Noozhawk is proud to be a partner of hers on a number of different initiatives. She's a good friend and I admire her entrepreneurial drive, determination and enthusiasm. In fact, it's fair to say that Noozhawk wouldn't be here without having Rachael's example — and her advice — to follow. Thanks, Rachael!
5. Dos Pueblos High School Staff Wades into Homework Debate
This isn't actually a Noozhawk story, of course, but many of you know we're a partner of The Charger Account, the online-only student news publication at Dos Pueblos High. The budding journalists have done a fantastic job adapting to the digital world, which has provided them with more opportunities to report, write and gain experience.
Another exciting aspect of their Web work is the collaboration, and Noozhawk's three reporters — Lara Cooper, Alex Kacik and Giana Magnoli — got to see it firsthand this week. We try to visit the campus newsroom on a weekly basis to help faculty adviser Bill Woodard coach and mentor the troops. On Jan. 25, our staff was there to talk about covering live news events, which turned into a discussion about how the team would be reporting on the school's monthly staff meeting the next day. Homework has been hotly debated on campus and school administrators and teachers were going to be discussing the results of the 2012 Comprehensive Homework Survey, which gathered opinions from 743 students, 183 parents and 73 teachers on the subject.
Lara, Alex and Giana came away impressed at how organized The Charger Account team was and I think you will be, too, when you read the story. Four students covered the staff meeting and Charger Account staff writers Emma Craine and Harry Menear wrote the story. Dual bylines are difficult to pull off among professional journalists so we can appreciate the challenge less-experienced teen reporters have.
We're proud to be partners with The Charger Account and I encourage you to sign up to receive the free daily e-Bulletin, which actually beats Noozhawk's by a couple of hours. Click here to subscribe.

Maybe it is me, or am I piling on when it comes to Johan Santana's shoulder injury which will require season-ending surgery?
After Santana was injured August 2, I would have expected him to have a MRI immediately and not wait a week before he tested it and found out the extent of the injury. Considering he's the Mets' most valuable pitching commodity, and how the team has handled injuries in the past, the MRI should have been performed matter-of-factly.
Sure, Santana said he was fine, but Ryan Church said he was fine, John Maine said he was fine, Jose Reyes said he was fine. Players will always say they are fine. That's part of their competitive DNA, but where did Santana go to medical school?
Pectoral strains, the initial diagnosis, always take time to heal. They are like hamstrings in that regard. But, for the Mets to wait a week to test it without knowing for certainty what was wrong with his arm was taking an foolish risk.
We don't know whether Santana testing the injury might have caused further damage. What I do remember is letting Jon Niese throw one more warm-up pitch when he was clearly ailing and then watching him collapse in a heap.
The first rule when it comes to pitcher's injuries is to always assume the worst because of their fragile nature. Sure, MRI's aren't cheap, but they are worth it when it comes to protecting a talent such as Santana.
Do you recall how the Washington Nationals immediately shut down Stephen Strasburg when he had trouble warming up? Do you recall how the Florida Marlins shut down Josh Johnson and sent him for a MRI before making any conclusions?
Then, do you remember how Maine had trouble warming up but the Mets trotted him out there for five pitches? Dan Warthen called Maine a habitual liar when the pitcher said he was fine. Obviously, Warthen thought differently, but still sent Maine out to pitch.
Do you remember Church being diagnosed with a concussion, then sent on an airplane? That fiasco lasted for several weeks before Church was placed on the DL.
Do you remember, with the season long lost, reinserting Carlos Beltran, and then there was the subsequent dispute over his surgery over the winter? Surgery was contemplated at the time of the injury. Had it been performed at the time, there's no telling how productive Beltran would be now.
Do you remember how switch-hitter Reyes couldn't hit from the left side, but the Mets pushed the envelope and had him bat right-handed? Reyes was definitely not 100 percent, but there the Mets were, sending him out there.
This is now three surgeries in three years for Santana. Considering he had surgery last year, one would have thought an immediate MRI would have been a slam dunk.
I also remember after last season how Jeff Wilpon said how the Mets evaluate and treat injuries would be reviewed.
I remember a lot of things.
Santana said he'd start to play catch in January. How does he know that before surgery?
Remember, I say assume the worst about injuries. When they were saying Beltran would be back in June I wrote after the All-Star break. When they were saying Reyes would be out for a couple of days I wrote how he should be on the disabled list (last year and this year).
Santana says January. Don't bet on before June.

(all pics are clickable)
Sunday morning, solid grey sky which is supposed to be good for bird photography since it provides a uniform diffuse light.
Now, my D300 tends to produce a fairly exact white balance in this kind of weather. That means that all the pics on automatic WB will get a rather blueish tint. I like to produce pictures that are a bit warmer in tone so I set it to 5880K. A value I know from experience will produce something I like. I gambled that it would work and save me time in processing.
There must be spring in the air, everything was rather restless. First thing I noticed were some very common mallards. Probably the most common waterfowl species here but good practice nonetheless.
Worked a bit on the exact crop and contrast. The result isn't too bad.
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 270 mm
Focal Length: 269.1 mm
ISO Speed: 1600
So, autoiso worked this time. I'd set the camera for 1/500 in S mode and the camera put the lens wide open and upped the iso all the way. Not very much light then.
The egyptian geese were feeling the spring as well, chasing eachother, even landing in trees to make noise at eachother. Using the AF button still does the trick:
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/800)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 300 mm
Focal Length: 302.0 mm
ISO Speed: 1600
Good thing I raised the shutter speed I think. Still, wide open at 300mm and iso 1600, it's not going to get me the best of pics.
In a stream in the woods I noticed a grey heron. Rather small bird for a heron. Not entirely sure what caused the focus error here but I do like the lines and the reflection.
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 250 mm
Focal Length: 254.0 mm
ISO Speed: 1600
Now, the first red squirrel of the season. Rather tricky animal to shoot, they don't sit still and if they do its often at the top of the tree. Up there the challenge is an often bright background and a very dark subject. That requires careful metering.
The unedited shot:
Click it and you will see a squirrel. Settings:
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/640)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 270 mm
Focal Length: 277.0 mm
ISO Speed: 1600
Ah, the camera did what I told it to do. Shutter speed is the speed I set, iso is at the limit I set in auto iso and the lens is as far open as it can go. That it's underexposed is not the cameras fault, there just wasn't any more light.
But, I'm shooting a D300 and that allows for some room in post processing. So, into capture NX and see what I can do with it.
By no means the best squirrel shot in the world but it's a lot nicer. I correct exposure here by almost 1.5 stops, played with the curves, cropped, adjust color balance somewhat, slapped on a contrast adjustment filter and this is the result.
Of course there is noise, there are limits to the D300 sensor and certainly to my processing skills. No matter how good your sensor is, when you underexpose and correct that you will get a load more noise than on a properly exposed picture.
Last shot, something you will encounter sometimes, the leftovers of a predator's meal. There's a big flock of pigeons in that area and occasionally the buzzards get lucky and catch one.
Gruesome perhaps but nature all the same.
So, lessons learned
- Auto ISO in S mode is good for birds in flight and rapidly changing light conditions
- If there isn't enough light your pictures won't come out as nice.
- Fieldcraft continues to be a challenge
- There is at least some truth to diffuse light being good for birds.
- Presetting white balance will save time in processing if you get it right.
