Once bitten: Adopt-a-thon turns ugly
The piercing shrieks were audible even from inside the Giant grocery store on Seminole Trail on Saturday, August 9. A woman ran through the doors, hand clamped over her mouth in horror. As the cries continued, employees of the store and shoppers alike raced out the door to find the child who was so clearly in distress.
They didn't have to go far.
In fact, just 30 feet from the front door, the Fluvanna County SPCA was hosting a dog adoption, and a 13-year-old girl had put her face too close to a nervous dog.
"He lunged at her and tore her face open," said one bystander who witnessed the aftermath of the attack, gesturing to his cheek.
Indeed, according to a police report, a three-year-old shepherd mix named Baxter attacked the girl, leaving a four-inch long bite (police say it is a laceration-type wound approximately 1/2-inch deep) on her right cheek.
Within minutes, police and rescue personnel had responded, and the girl was taken to UVA medical center where it has been reported she underwent plastic surgery later on Saturday. UVA medical center spokesperson Marguerite Beck could not give information on the girl without her name.
The girl's name has not been released because of her age, so she could not be reached. But Cindi Scott, a Fluvanna SPCA board member who was in charge of Saturday's outing, says her volunteers didn't have a chance to react before the attack.
According to the volunteers, the girl, running ahead of her grandmother, came quickly around a line of carts with her arms up and startled the dog. But Scott says she's not making excuses.
"Under no circumstances is she to be blamed for this," Scott says of the teen. "We apologize profusely to anyone involved in this."
Though the Fluvanna SPCA makes every effort to bring only socialized, adoptable animals to such public outings, Scott says this was one case in which the organization's best intentions couldn't prevent an incident.
The Fluvanna SPCA has been doing "hundreds" of these outings at public locations for five years, and in that time, Scott says, there has been only one other "minor" incident. She says the shelter has been able to become "low-kill" because of these outings and the organization's work with rescue groups.
She fears that Saturday's incident will hurt other animals' prospects for adoption, and she wants people to know that she and her fellow volunteers take precautions to try to prevent such incidents and are dedicated to making it a positive experience for everyone.
"We give up our Saturdays to do this," she explains. "Our goal is to save as many animals as possible."
Carolyn Foreman, director of the Charlottesville SPCA, says she appreciates the motivations behind the outings, but she doesn't think "impulsive" adoptions are a good idea.
For one thing, prospective adopters may be unprepared for the responsibilities of dog ownership. Fluvanna's Scott, however, says her organization does screen potential adopters both with a questionnaire and an interview. "We've turned people down if we don't think they're suitable," she explains.
Also, notes Foreman, it's hard to predict how animals will react in a stressful situation where they are restrained and may feel threatened.
Sergeant Dave Jones of the Charlottesville Police Department says it's unlikely that any criminal charges will be pressed against the Fluvanna SPCA because the dog was properly restrained, and the organization had followed protocol for such an event.
"They didn't do anything illegal," he says.
The dog, however, won't escape punishment.
As the ambulance pulled away, Baxter, caged in the back of an SUV in front of the store, seemed unaware of the chaos he had caused.
Aware or not, his fate is sealed. According to Fluvanna SPCA board member Shirley Lavin, after a 10-day quarantine period, the animal will be euthanized.

Rochester resident following musical dreams with big show WITH VIDEO
On Michael McDonnell's 25th birthday, he thought to himself, "All my favorite artists died when they were 27."
Musicians Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and, most recently, Amy Winehouse all died at age 27.
"When I turned 25, I was like, 'Gosh, I only have two good years left," McDonnell of Rochester said with a laugh. "I knew I better make things happen now."
Shortly after, McDonnell started his first original band with his friends Michael Parrott of Troy and Michael Swain of Royal Oak. And now, only six months later, his band is playing a headlining show on the same stage where famous bands The White Stripes, Kings Of Leon, Modest Mouse and Jack Johnson have previously performed.
At 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, the Oakland County based Mike Leslie Band will perform at the Magic Stick, 4140 Woodward Avenue in Detroit. The band will also release their first five-song album, with lyrics and music written by McDonnell, on Saturday for $5. The Mike Leslie Band is featured in this week's issue of Real Detroit.
"This is the biggest show I have ever done," said McDonnell, who is studying Psychology at Oakland University.
McDonnell has professionally played cover songs since he was 15 years old with his first show at Blue Note Café in Pontiac. He said music runs in his blood.
"My mom (Pam) was a wedding singer. When I was really little, she would always play guitar, and I loved it. My earliest memory is when my mom would take me to guitar stores," McDonnell said. "It's almost destiny, like I was supposed to play guitar."
McDonnell said he is excited to play his first show with songs he wrote. He describes the band's genre as "psychedelic, alternative rock, pop and soul." The band's influences are Motown, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Beach Boys, Nirvana and Alice and Chains.
"I was going through a rough time when writing the songs. A lot of my lyrics have real psychological meanings because I've been studying psychology for four years. The (songs) are ultimately about discovering yourself," he said. "If anything, it's unique for today's standards. I don't hear too many new bands who sound like it."
The Magic Stick is selling 600 tickets to the show with 200 purchased so far.
Tickets to the all-ages Saturday show are $7 in advance by calling 313-833-9700 or visiting majesticdetroit.com/magic-stick-detroit or $10 at the door.

A former San Jose police officer is the star of a new video that has women rethinking the way they judge their own appearance.
Gil Zamora, 52, is a forensic sketch artist who has been contracting his skills to law enforcement agencies in Santa Cruz County and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area since he left the San Jose Police Department in 2011. He was tapped earlier this year to work on a video for Dove, as part of the company's Real Beauty Campaign.
The commercial was shown to the public for the first time April 16 when it aired on the "Today" show. Released to the public the following day, the video, which is available in 3- and 6-minute segments, has gone viral and has been seen by millions around the world.
The father of six, including a daughter and three stepdaughters, Zamora knew firsthand how hard women can be on themselves when it comes to their appearance.
"They don't see themselves as others see them," he said. "They can be their own worst critics."
The theme of the "Real Beauty Sketches" video campaign is that women are more beautiful than they realize. To make that point, Zamora spent nearly three days in a studio sketching women's faces. He drew facial images of 20 different women without seeing them for himself.
Instead, he asked them to tell him about their hair, nose, eyes, chins, cheeks and other features after spending some time building rapport with the models to help them relax and feel comfortable talking to him.
"I only got to speak to them from behind a walled curtain," Zamora said. "None of them were overly confident. On average, every one had something that they weren't happy about that definitely resonated in their descriptions" of themselves.
One woman described a scar below her nose. Another said her mother had told her she had a big jaw. A third mentioned her nose was slightly off center because she had broken it years before.
Later, he created another sketch by asking people who had met the model in the studio to describe what they saw. The two sketches were hung together and shown to the models, illustrating the big gap between how people view themselves and how they are seen by others. In all cases, the sketches created by witness description showed a more beautiful image, and were far more flattering.The realization that others saw them as better looking than they saw themselves brought tears to the eyes of many of the models.
Many viewers reacted the same way when they watched the video. Zamora has received thousands of email messages from women and men describing how moved they were by the videos.
Hundreds of women who saw the ad also posted their responses on Facebook, and thousands of people have shared the ad online."My husband showed me the video tonight," wrote Eva Gonzalez. "For years he has heard me complain about my weight or the way I perceive myself and his response has always been you are beautiful to me. Tonight I finally get it."
While there were a few critics, most of the comments were positive.
"This is an amazing video and an even more amazingly valuable lesson," posted Erin Irvine Lynch.Zamora won't say how much he was paid to do the videos, but he is happy to talk about the Dove Real Beauty Campaign.
"What a great message," Zamora said. "It's resonating with a lot of people."
Zamora, who was born in Texas, has lived in San Jose since 1965. He joined the San Jose Police Department in 1985. He began working as a forensic sketch artist in 1995, after being trained by the FBI.
Despite his recent brush with fame, Zamora is not looking to pursue more advertising campaign work. Instead, he is focusing on his career as a forensic sketch artist and assisting law enforcement agencies throughout the region. Zamora has produced more than 3,000 sketches of suspects in high-profile crimes throughout the region.
"When you're looking for unknown subjects, it's the best way to get a lead," Zamora said. "I definitely want to continue to work with the great investigators in the Bay Area."

- Rewind to 1970
How flashy Cockneys won a war of attrition
Fuelled, in part, by the North-South divide and the two clubs becoming title challengers in the 1960s, the rivalry between Leeds United and Chelsea has burned fiercely ever since. After a series of bruising encounters at a time when referees were far more lenient than today, the two played out one of the roughest games in history in the 1970 FA Cup replay at Old Trafford, but the rivalry started a little before that.
It is the managerial pair of Don Revie and Tommy Docherty who must gain the accolades for seeing Leeds and Chelsea, respectively, competing in the upper echelons of the English top flight in the 1960s.
Revie's impact during the decade eventually culminated in their first league title in 1969, while Docherty built himself a similar dynasty at Stamford Bridge, albeit one without quite as many trophies to show for it. Beyond the glittering prizes and established internationals plying their trade at each club, however, both had players capable of allying physicality to their ability and, when they clashed, it was invariably a fiery affair.
Rick Glanvill wrote in Chelsea FC - The Official Biography: "Perhaps we should blame the M1. The extension from Aston to Leeds was completed in July 1967 and it was almost as if the new infrastructure made loathing, as well as other goods, easier to transport. Three months before that was the match that may have ignited the whole thing. But by then there had already been several bouts in the classic Yorkshire grit versus flash Cockney encounter."
Indeed, the seeds were sown in 1952. A triple-replayed FA Cup fixture - which had been their first meeting in a cup competition - saw Chelsea eventually seal progress with a 5-1 win. However, "the ferocious tackling of the first replay at Stamford Bridge had forced Chelsea into seven changes for the subsequent League game. Nearly 150,000 fans watched the three games - and winced," the Mighty Leeds website reports.
As Revie and Docherty lifted their clubs into prominence in the '60s, the pair's first meeting in a cup competition came in the fourth round of the FA Cup in 1966, and saw a 1-0 win to Chelsea. Ahead of the game, there were clashes as a rowdy 57,000 crowd were dispersed harshly by the police. On the pitch, goalkeeper Peter Bonetti had denied the Peacocks with a breathtaking display, as reported in The Times: "Why then did Leeds lose in a score line which suggests a battle of attrition? The answer was threefold - no luck; no deadly finisher inside the penalty area; and when they were near the mark there was Bonetti to produce three or four saves of world-class vintage."
Bonetti later remembered in an interview with the Blues' website that the two teams had a similar style: "Leeds had a name, a reputation as being dirty... [and] we matched them in the physical side of things because we had our own players who were physical... We weren't unalike in the way we played."
But the growing rivalry went deeper than that; the players hated each other. Alex Murphy, looking into the rivalry for The Evening Standard, wrote: "Don Revie's Yorkshire hard-men were famous for their elastic approach to the laws of the game with committed players like Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton, Johnny Giles and Norman Hunter. Chelsea, while having a reputation for flair and panache, also had a team populated with men who didn't mind a bit of afters; men like Chopper Harris and Peter Osgood."
Chelsea's Tommy Baldwin revealed in the book Kings of the King's Road: "There were a lot of scores being settled from previous games whenever we played them. It always just seemed to go mad, with everyone kicking each other." Leeds midfielder Johnny Giles, meanwhile, recalled the "special sort of animosity" between the teams that came to a head in 1967.
Another brutal game was played out that year in the FA Cup, with Chelsea winning 1-0. Indeed, one Times reporter noted the ferocity of the tackling more than anything else. "The tackling throughout was frighteningly ruthless," he wrote. "And too often retaliation was penalised while provocation escaped unseen. Shirts, elbows and studs were used and abused; to be caught in possession was like standing in the path of a stampede."
This time, it was not tackling alone that escalated the rivalry: referee Ken Burns disallowed two late goals to become the subject of Leeds' anger. Also, according to the Mighty Leeds website, "the touchline celebrations of Blues boss Tommy Docherty left a sour taste in West Yorkshire mouths".
But Chelsea's successes in the teams' cup encounters came in the face of poor league form against their rivals. Docherty's resignation, handed in a day before a 7-0 drubbing at Elland Road in October 1967, left the club in complete disarray. The Scot had received a 28-day suspension from all football activity following incidents on a so-called 'goodwill' tour of Bermuda in the summer, but felt he had no backing from the FA and left the Blues under a cloud.
For once, the focus was on goals and not the violence on the pitch, although that would change as the two clubs headed into what would be a six-game spell in the 1969-70 season. The first of these, a 2-0 win in the league for Leeds, led Phil Brown of The Yorkshire Evening Post to write: "I do not want to see another game like Saturday's. These are two good sides at their best... but the calibre of such teams is largely wasted when they set their teeth and play as venomously as that." Brown must have been forced to turn away as five more games were played out before the season's end: two league cup games in January, 1-1 and 2-0 to Chelsea; another league game which ended 5-2 to Leeds at Stamford Bridge; and the memorable two legs of the FA Cup final.
Of the six, the first final was surely the most 'attritional'. It was remarkable that the game finished 2-2 at Wembley as it had been brought forward a month due to the 1970 World Cup finals and, as a result, was preceded by the Horse of the Year show, ensuring the Wembley turf was turned into a quagmire by the trampling hooves. According to Leeds midfielder Billy Bremner: "The pitch was in a terrible state. There was not a sign of the normally immaculate turf which everyone associates with Wembley. The pitch had been sanded - but you found yourself almost ankle-deep in mud and sand, at times - and if Wembley's once lush turf was stamina-sapping, I can tell you that the pitch on which we played destroyed the energy of the players as the game wore on."
With the replay moved to Old Trafford because of the state of the Wembley turf, the FA appointed the 47-year-old Eric Jennings as referee - his last appearance before retirement. Within minutes, it was obvious that the focus would not be on the football as Chelsea's Alan Hudson, who missed both the final and the replay through injury, revealed: "Tommy Baldwin and Terry Cooper, two of the quietest men in football, [were] kicking lumps out of one another as the battle began."
Leeds scored first through Mick Jones, but Osgood's equaliser opened the floodgates for foul play. Chelsea's hard-men systematically targeted winger Eddie Gray, and Harris finally nailed him late in the first half with a malicious kick on the back of the left knee. Moments later, Jack Charlton headbutted and kneed Osgood after the Chelsea striker had tackled him from behind. Eddie McCreadie nearly decapitated Bremner with a ludicrously high kung-fu tackle in the box and Norman Hunter and Ian Hutchinson also exchanged blows.
Mercifully, the game was ended as Webb bundled in an extra-time winner and the cup went to Stamford Bridge for the first time. But as The Independent newspaper recalled in its 2006 obituary for Osgood: "The match provided a lengthy sheet of misdemeanours... Wherever you looked on the field there was mayhem, as players kicked, gouged and butted each other with impunity. The next morning, one paper summed up with the banner headline 'Robbery With Violence'."
Somehow Jennings kept it to 11-a-side and saw fit only to book one player - Chelsea's Hutchinson - leading Hugh McIlvanney to write in The Observer: "At times it appeared that Mr Jennings would give a free-kick only on production of a death certificate." Some years later, referee David Elleray studied a tape of the game and concluded he would have given six red cards and 20 yellows had he been officiating.
What happened next?
In the following season, neither team would reach the quarter-final stage of the FA Cup but Chelsea soon claimed their first European trophy with the Cup Winners' Cup. A hard-fought 0-0 draw between the sides at Stamford Bridge in December 1971 at times "more resembled some Mafia vendetta than football", according to The Times' Geoffrey Green, and there were incidents at a game in 1973 as well. But, soon after Revie left Leeds in 1974, the rivalry was put on the backburner as Chelsea were relegated the following season; Leeds were not far behind them.

Photo Essay: 20 of the World's Best Public Spaces
Click Here to See 20 of the Top Public Spaces in the World
Every community needs a commons where people can gather as friends, neighbors, and citizens. This can be a grand public square, a humble Main Street, or a vacant lot with a few handmade benches where locals sit down for conversation. Or even a bridge, beach, or bus station, as the examples in the pictures show.
What's important are the connections made among people, which can lead to wonderful things: friendships, love affairs, partnerships that flower into new ideas for businesses or community projects.
The Project for Public Spaces, a New York-based group that works around the world helping citizens boost the sense of community in their neighborhoods, compiled a comprehensive catalog of more than 600 of the best public spaces around the world. Here is a selection of some of the most inspiring, many of them in surprisingly humble locations, which can offer ideas about creating or improving a commons in your own town.
You can find out more—including practical information about which elements make these places succeed as commons—and nominate your own favorite public spaces at Project for Public Spaces's Great Public Spaces Hall of Fame. You can peruse PPS's Hall of Shame to learn what mistakes not to repeat from over 60 of the most disappointing public spaces around the world.

To paint An Inconvenient Truth as anything less than what it is -- a near clarion call to action -- would be to slight former Vice President of the United States Al Gore's seemingly indefatigable need to alert everyone within earshot of his voice about the mounting dangers of global warming. Why this film, directed by Davis Guggenheim, succeeds where so many others have fallen short, is that Gore never strikes the viewer as anything other than rational, collected and impassioned. He's not alarmist, he's not half-crazed about melting glaciers or raging forest fires -- he's merely sad and determined, armed with facts and figures and set upon making some sort of positive impact.
With a relentless torrent of scientific data at his fingertips (and a "Futurama" clip or two), broken down into easily digestible and understood chunks, Gore lays out the past, present and downright harrowing future of our globe, as it continues to reel from the effects of our callous hyper-consumption. One chilling statistic after another (often backed up with stunning photographic evidence) piles up until you're left, shaken and unnerved, as the credits roll, listing several ways you yourself can engage in making a difference.
Woven into the fabric of An Inconvenient Truth is an informal biography of Gore himself, following his journey from the family farm in Tennessee to the halls of power in Washington to his globe-trotting adventures as an eco-missionary. These interludes punctuate his presentation, offering respite from the dizzying amount of information, but also deftly providing insight into why he pursues this avocation so devotedly. It's a trick that could've very well failed, dragging down the otherwise essential message of An Inconvenient Truth, but Guggenheim seamlessly integrates this necessary information into his overall narrative.
There's not much more I can say about An Inconvenient Truth that you won't discover for yourself when you sit down to watch it -- it lays out in plain, unfiltered language precisely what we are doing and why our planet is in crisis. It's sobering, terrifying and more than a little depressing, but you're left with a feeling of possibility, rather than dread inevitability. An Inconvenient Truth is an important, powerful and necessary film -- it's one that connects like few others in 2006 and one places the onus of action upon you, the viewer. How you feel upon the film's conclusion is much less important that what you will do -- having the courage to take action can be the hardest step, but also the most rewarding. (A portion of the proceeds from the DVD's sales will benefit the bipartisan climate effort The Alliance for Climate Protection and the filmmakers point those in search of more detailed information to the Web site www.climatecrisis.net.)The DVD
The Video:
Filmed on HD video and Super 16, An Inconvenient Truth doesn't look quite as sharp as it could in its 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer -- instances of grain, smearing and slight noise mar an otherwise very clean and sharp-looking image. Particularly when the camera swoops in close upon Gore's Apple-fueled slideshow, you can see the fuzziness of letters and softness of photos. There's nothing overly distracting about the few flaws, but they are present nonetheless.The Audio:
I had to crank the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack a bit above normal to make out what Gore was saying; for some reason, the whole audio track was pitched at a lower volume -- not unintelligible, just a lot lower than where most DVDs are set. Despite the volume issue, Gore's dire warnings about global warming are heard cleanly and free of drop-out throughout the film. A Dolby 2.0 stereo track is included, as are optional English, French and Spanish subtitles.The Extras:
The packaging itself is a bonus here -- made from 100% post-consumer recycled material and sliver-thin, it features "Ten Things to Do" on the inside flap, with the disc tucked snugly in a sleeve on the opposing flap. A pair of commentary tracks -- one with Guggenheim and the other stitched together with appearances from producers Laurie David, Lawrence Bender, Scott Z. Burns and Lesley Chilcott -- easily cover the background and technical information about the making of the film, as well as their collective passion for the project. In lieu of a commentary track, Gore contributes a 32 minute, 17 second "update," presented in anamorphic widescreen and outlining all that has transpired since the film's completion in late 2005. The 11 minute, seven second "The Making of 'An Inconvenient Truth'" is presented in anamorphic widescreen and rendered somewhat redundant by the commentary tracks, with the music video for Melissa Etheridge's "I Need To Wake Up" rounding out the disc.Final Thoughts:
An Inconvenient Truth is an important, powerful and necessary film -- it's one that connects like few others in 2006 and one places the onus of action upon you, the viewer. How you feel upon the film's conclusion is much less important that what you will do -- having the courage to take action can be the hardest step, but also the most rewarding. Don't miss this film. Highly recommended.

. _______________________________________________ .
We are on the twelfth blessing of the Nisim B'Chol Yom/the blessings for daily miracles recited during morning prayers:
"Praise to You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe,
Who made me a Jew."
When my husband and I were married, we had a Catholic priest and a rabbi perform the wedding ceremony. Because the Catholic priest would be doing most of the ritual, my husband (the Jewish party) had to agree to raise our children as Catholics. You can understand, then, that when our son was born (almost 30 years ago,) and my husband said he wanted him to be Jewish, that I was a bit shocked. I had thought the decision was made. Yet there we were spending hours discussing the pros and cons of each of our faiths. Ultimately, after a lot of searching and researching, we decided on Judaism.
Recently, memories of those discussions flooded my mind with the news that three teenage boys had been murdered in Israel. While there may be debate about the appropriateness of their being out, alone, hitchhiking in Gaza late at night, the fact is they are dead. And they are dead for the simple reason that they were Jews. That truth has brought all of those endless discussions between my spouse and I back into very clear focus. I vividly recall saying to my husband more than once, "You are asking me to make a choice that could ultimately result in the death of my child for the simple reason that we made this choice for him. People will hate him, find ways to hurt him and perhaps want to kill him, just because we decide to make him Jewish – AND FOR NO OTHER REASON."
As I write this, I am hearing the awful news that a young Muslim/Israeli boy (15 years old, from East Jerusalem,) was kidnapped and murdered – possibly burned alive – by what appears to be Jewish fanatics looking for revenge. This tears at my heart as much as the murder of the three Jewish/Israeli teens. What right do we…does any individual have to take life for any reason? Will the murder of this child bring those other three children back? I wish…I hope the people of Israel will read the message of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, an Orthodox rabbi I greatly admire. "Say Kaddish," he writes. "Do Kaddish…" he goes on. Study Torah, give Tzedakah, perform mitzvot…make the world a better place. Honor these FOUR teenage boys who died needlessly.
I believe we made the right choice for our children, just as I know I made the right choice for myself. Everything about Judaism resonates with me and my beliefs in how people should care for themselves, care for each other and care for the world around them. Judaism is a faith that cherishes life over everything—Jewish zealots notwithstanding—using each moment of our precious time on earth to find a way to be our best selves and help in repairing the world. Clearly, we have a lot of work to do, and once the mourning period is over, we will be back at it.
Rabbi Steinsaltz knows. Jewish fanatics apparently do not. The Jewish People will survive this tragedy, just as we survived the murder of Daniel Pearl, the slaughter of the Israeli Olympic team, and the horrors of the Holocaust…Because we are Jews.
Happy Reading!

It seems to me, from teh books i've read and the many posts from multiple mamas, that if you make it to 36-40 weeks, it's because you were on bed rest, or at least you stopped working a month or more before your EDD. Would you say this is true?
I know there are cases once in a while of women who easily carry twins to 39-40 weeks with no bed rest and they work up to their delivery, but these cases seem pretty rare.

If you were watching 'Game of Thrones' this week, your eye was undoubtedly drawn to mysterious new hunk Daario Naharis, played by British actor Ed Skrein. Who is this guy?!
Is there a secret cave in Britain where they keep sexy men like him and wait to spring him on us when we're least expecting it?
This week on 'Game of Thrones,' we were introduced to a trio of guys who lead an army known as the Second Sons. Of the three leading men, the most magnetic is Daario Naharis, a long-haired beauty who seems more well-mannered and noble than his two compatriots.
Daario is sent to kill fierce Mother of Dragons Daenerys, but then he finds her in the bath tub (NAKED!) and he's all, "Nah, I told those fools we need to help you, so we're going to do that." And he so clearly wants to be all over her body. And she so clearly wants that, too. It's pretty sexy.
Anyway, the actor who plays Daario Naharis is Ed Skrein, an artist, musician and rapper (yep, really) who only recently moved into acting. He's got three credits on his resume prior to 'Game of Thrones,' including 'The Sweeney' and 'Ill Manors.' Check him out below.

After temperatures that dipped well below zero with wind chills that were even colder, we are now seeing the thermometers soar up into the 30s. It feels downright balmy outdoors. Add a little sunshine and I feel as if we should be looking for tulips pushing up through the snow drifts. But, alas. It isn't spring, yet. We still have a few months of dancing with Old Man Winter before the grass begins to green.
That doesn't mean that I can't bake up a dessert that seems almost summer-ish in order to celebrate the beautiful days. (Oh hush. I know that I.Am.Not.A.Baker.) I had shredded some of the abundance of zucchini from my garden this summer and froze in 2 and 3 cup packages. It is so easy to defrost and toss into a Lemon Blueberry Zucchini Cake. The blog where I found this recipe suggested peeling the zucchini to hide the vegetable from unsuspecting eyes. I don't. I heart the green flecks combining with the bursts of juicy blueberries. Color and texture make this cake as beautiful to look at as it is to eat. Yum. I can wait a little bit for spring, if Lemon Blueberry Zucchini Cake is On My Plate.
(from Creations by Kara and Real Mom Kitchen)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon lemon extract
3 cups zucchini, shredded
3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
zest of 1 lemon
2 cups blueberries
3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar

juice of 1 lemon
Preheat oven to 325.
Cream together sugar, eggs, oil, and lemon extract.
Stir in the zucchini.
Gradually add dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Add lemon zest.
Fold in the blueberries gently.
Pour into a well greased and floured Bundt cake pan. (Am I the only one that HATES to wash bundt pans?)
Bake for about 65-70 minutes or till toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to sit in pan for 5-10 minutes, then invert onto cooling rack.
Cool completely and frost with lemon cream cheese frosting.
Beat butter and cream cheese till smooth.
Add powdered sugar, salt, zest, and enough lemon juice to make a spreadable consistency.
Pour over cooled cake and serve.

Don't be fooled by the puppets - this is not your children's musical. 'Avenue Q,' the Tony Award-winning show is definitely adult entertainment - lots of expletives-not-deleted and plenty of sexual innuendo and more. Alpha Omega Players have taken on edgy shows before, and this one goes right to the brink - in a good way.
'Avenue Q' deftly lampoons human foibles, flaws and frustrations with outrageous humor, situations and songs. Some of the titles, 'If You Were Gay,' 'Everyone's a Little Bit Racist' and 'The Internet Is For Porn,' will give you an idea of what the show is all about.
Set in an apartment building in a not-so-great neighborhood in New York, it focuses on the tenants, mostly in their 20s, who are trying to make their way in the world. Most of the characters have alter-ego puppets, presenting a triple challenge for the actors - singing, acting and making the puppets come to life.
The cast spent months working with their counterparts, and the work has paid off. It was amazing to watch how seamlessly the humans and puppets melded. It was like the puppets were a natural extension of the actor.
Prime examples of that synchronicity are Sean Deffley and Emily Kuhns who play principle roles in the show.
Deffley plays Princeton, a naive college grad, who has just moved to the big city and is confronted with the reality of the real world. He also plays Rod, one of two guys who live together, but are 'not gay,' or so they say. He contributes dynamite vocals throughout the show, with different voices depending on which character he's playing.
Kuhns plays Kate Monster, Princeton's friend and eventual love interest. Her vocal performances are spot-on, from the upbeat 'Everyone's a Little Bit Racist' to the memorable ballad, 'There's A Fine, Fine Line.' Her comedic skills match her vocal talent, making Kate a favorite with the audience.
The entire cast includes multi-talented actors who have mastered the challenges of this truly unique musical.
Also taking on two roles is Alexander P. Bannon as Nicky and Trekkie Monster. Nicky is Rod's roommate and Trekkie Monster is an over-the-top, antisocial grouch. Both characters are fun, but Trekkie's rendition of 'The Internet Is For Porn,' is one of the highpoints of the show.
Heidi Carletti landed one of the most fun-to-play roles as Lucy the Slut, a seductive stripper-type who captures the attention of the males in the cast - both monsters and humans. She delivers a delightfully lusty performance that showcases her vocal and comedic skills.
The neighborhood also includes a married couple, Christmas Eve, a Japanese immigrant played by Julie Kellar and her husband, Brian, a wannabe comedian, played by Stephen Barszowski. Keller shines in the second act with her performance of 'The More You Ruv Someone, (you want to kill them)' and Barszowski delivers an energetic and laugh-inducing number, 'I'm Not Wearing Underwear Today.'
James Barksdale takes on another of the unusual characters as Gary Coleman, the former 'Diff'rent Strokes' TV star, who is now reduced to managing an apartment building. Barksdale, who is well over 6 feet tall, uses his comedic timing and phrasing to make it all work. I suspect Coleman, who died in 2010, would have gotten a kick out of his performance.
Melissa Kauffmann, who choreographed the show, also handles the roles of Mrs. T, an uptight kindergarten teacher, and puppet handler - some of the puppets require two people.
Rounding out the cast are Amy Swartz and Gordon Joyner as the Bad Idea Bears. The two create delightfully mischievous critters who tempt Princeton and the other characters into drinking too much and other forms of bad behavior.
Director Mark A. Drey has pulled together the perfect cast to master the puppetry, music and insanity of this extremely irreverent musical.
Unseen, but supporting the cast is a talented group of musicians. Nathan Patton and James Damore provided
musical direction for the show.
This show is not for everybody - it is laced with language that may be offensive to some people, and there are sexual scenes - albeit involving naked puppets - that are not suitable for children. But, if you are looking for a hilarious, rollicking romp at the theater - head on over to 'Avenue Q' in Birdsboro.
Remaining performances are at 8 p.m. April 4 and 5 and 3 p.m. April 6 in the Alpha/Omega Performing Arts Center, 301 E. First Street, Birdsboro, 19508.
For reservations, call 610-404-4844.

We bring together a team of gastroenterologists, endoscopists, radiologists and surgeons with extensive experience and national reputations. The Nissen Center, named in honor of the Maimonides surgeon who pioneered the technique that cures gastroesophageal reflux disease, is dedicated to providing the highest quality medical care.
Services We Provide:
If the answer is yes, you may have a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. GERD occurs when contents of the stomach flow backward and up into the esophagus because of a weakened esophageal muscle, the valve-like muscle between the stomach and esophagus.
Symptoms can include a burning sensation in the chest or abdomen, indigestion, regurgitation, difficulty sleeping after eating, hoarseness and sore throat. Repeated incidences of acid reflux cause constant irritation and can lead to scarring and difficulty swallowing.
Medical studies have shown that longstanding heartburn can lead to cancer of the esophagus, one of the few cancers that are on the rise in the United States today.
Basic changes in lifestyle and diet can be effective in stopping heartburn. Medication also can be highly effective in relieving most symptoms.
A simple, painless procedure called endoscopy determines the severity of heartburn. After the patient is given a light sedative, a narrow, fiber optic tube is inserted in the mouth, down the esophagus and into the stomach. Through this tube, the physician can observe the stomach lining and complications of heartburn, such as the pre-cancerous condition called Barrett's esophagus. Other problems can also be diagnosed through endoscopy, including a weakened esophageal muscle and a hiatal hernia, in which portions of the patient's stomach pushes through an opening in the diaphragm. The results of the endoscopy test can be used to successfully treat a majority of patients.
The Nissen Procedure, developed 20 years ago by Rudolf Nissen, MD, former chief of surgery at Maimonides Medical Center, has successfully controlled heartburn in more than 10,000 patients worldwide.
Until recently, the procedure was performed as traditional surgery, or what is referred to as "open" surgery. Today this procedure can be performed laparoscopically in less than two hours. Instead of making a long incision, the surgeon makes a few dime-sized incisions and, with the help of special instrumentation and a fiber-optic camera to view the internal anatomy, wraps the esophageal valve with a portion of the patient's stomach. Our patients recover more quickly and have reduced scarring. Success rates are high, with more than 90% of patients remaining free from chronic heartburn after laparoscopic surgery.

Here at LA Sanitation's (LASAN) Watershed Protection Program, we have a pretty nifty box ourselves. It's called a Booth In A Box and it's filled with all sorts of fun and educational materials on our Watershed Protection Program. If you're the organizer of an upcoming information fair, resource festival, farmer's market or block party, you'll want to get one!
We coordinate with event organizers to develop a tailor-made assortment of outreach materials that can include brochures, tip cards, posters, pens, coloring books and stickers. We'll even throw in a tablecloth, literature holders and appropriate signage to give the table a polished, professional look!

The founder and managing director of Prim Capital Corp. in Independence has been charged with attempting to defraud the National Basketball Association players' union out of $3 million with a bogus contract. A complaint unsealed on Thursday charges Prim Capital founder Joseph Lombardo, 72, of Gates Mills, with attempted wire fraud, attempted mail fraud and obstruction of justice, Reuters reports. Carolyn Kaufman, 72, who served as president of Prim's advisory services component, was charged with obstructing justice. From 2001 until this year, Prim Capital "served as the primary outside investment advisory firm handling the investments and finances for the New York-based National Basketball Players Association, the union representing NBA players," the news service reports. Prim managed up to $250 million of the NBPA's assets, reviewed individual players' investments and conducted financial seminars for players, federal prosecutors said. Prim "was asked to turn over copies of its agreements with the NBPA in 2012 as part of a probe by the U.S. Department of Labor into potential criminal activity at the union," according to the story. In response it produced an agreement showing the firm's fees were $350,000 per year. Several months later, the firm produced another contract listing the firm's annual fee at $602,000 for a five-year term, prosecutors said. "But an investigation showed that a signature from former NBPA general counsel, Gary Hall, on the contract had been forged months after his death, prosecutors said," according to Reuters. "Another signature on the contract was allegedly forged as well, according to the prosecutor's office." U.S. attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement, "As alleged, Joseph Lombardo faked the signature of a dead man as part of manufacturing a multi-million dollar contract out of whole cloth that, had it been enforced, would have caused significant losses for basketball players who entrusted him with their savings. And together with his partner in crime, Carolyn Kaufman, he allegedly lied about it to a federal grand jury." Mr. Lombardo and Ms. Kaufman will make their initial appearances in Manhattan federal court on May 2.

Local investment adviser allegedly defrauds NBA players' union
A lot of Americans are hurt by sequestration spending cuts, and they have no recourse. One special group, though, gets immediate action when inconvenienced: business travelers. The Senate on Thursday passed a bill to end furloughs that have disrupted air travel nationwide. Approval of the measure "came without dissent," USA Today says, and the House could take up the measure as early as today. (The legislation allows the Federal Aviation Administration to shift $253 million from other accounts to eliminate the furloughs and avoid closing 149 towers at small airports.) The newspaper says the FAA "warned travelers about staffing challenges around en route centers at Cleveland, Washington, New York and in regional control centers" for several others cities. Cleveland was among the "worst hit areas" this week, USA Today notes. The FAA says about 40% of flight delays nationwide this week can be blamed on furloughs. "On Wednesday, there were 863 flight delays based on staffing, and another 2,132 for weather or other reasons, according to the FAA, which tracks traffic delays but not taxiing and other airfield delays," USA Today reports. The hypocrites in the business community who are such deficit hawks when federal spending doesn't affect them personally did a terrific job of pressuring Congress. Just don't believe them next time they call for "sacrifice" in the form of spending cuts somewhere else.
The election is more than three-and-a-half years away, but it's never too early for The Washington Post to speculate about presidential candidates for the next election. And slipping in at No. 10 among possible Republican contenders, as The Post sees it, is Ohio Gov. John Kasich. From the paper's analysis: The news keeps getting better for Kasich, whose approval rating has steadily recovered from its doldrums early in his term. A Quinnipiac University poll this week showed his approval at 52 percent, and he led all comers by a clear margin in 2014 (though he remained under 50 percent and is losing some GOP support). If Kasich, once a popular Republican House member and Fox News host who ran for president briefly in 2000, can keep it going and win re-election, it's hard not to consider him a serious presidential candidate if he runs. The three leading GOP contenders at this early (really early) stage are, in order, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Dr. Mikkael Sekeres, director of the leukemia program at the Cleveland Clinic, offers an exceptionally well-written and thoughtful post in The New York Times about the complexities of treating a leukemia patient who was a Jehovah's Witness — a group that believes it's wrong to receive the tissue of another human being, thus ruling out blood transfusions. This paragraph does a good job of demonstrating Dr. Sekeres' thought process: We enter our chosen profession to kill that malignant golem, leukemia. But our patient approached his leukemia focusing more on eternity than his time on earth. While many felt his belief had tied our hands so that we couldn't treat his leukemia optimally, ultimately our responsibility must be to our patient's goals more than to our own: in this case, his relationship to God, and his desire to reach heaven. I hope he made it. It's worth a few minutes of your time.

This is the next in a series of EMR and EHR interviews that will be done on EMR and HIPAA and EMR and EHR. The full EMR interview with Dr. Ho can be found on the new EHR and EMR interviews website. The following is a summary of that interview written by Kathy Bongiovi.
After completing a family practice residency at the University of Rochester in 1989, Dr. Ho worked in a variety of settings before making her decision to open her no-staff "micropractice" in 2004. Ho defines micropractice as being "a small, low overhead, no staff, hightech-high touch practice." Because Ho believes the current financing model of delivering primary care by cranking up the volume of visits in order to meet overhead and salary is broken she wanted to move to a model that would be better for patients and give her more professional satisfaction.
Ho realized that one of the keys to running a successful micropractice is maintaining a low overhead. Her overhead is 25-30% of gross collections instead of the typical 60% that arises from paying staff salaries and for multiple work stations.
Amazing Charts was her choice of EHR and she has found the company very responsive to user requests. All of the software pieces needed to integrate well with her EMR, both via formal interfaces and in her informal workflow.
Ho has been able to make her office completely "paperless." She accomplished this by having all patients send her their clinical histories using Instant Medical History from her website. She also has all new patients sign a laminated "HIPAA consent, for both billing and emailing, with one signature. Then she scans the page along with a copy of their insurance card to a file. She erases the patient's information from the laminated sheet and reuses it for the next patient. She uses EDI interfaces for most labs and some x-rays and consults. Most consultants fax her their information electronically.
Dr. Ho had no formal training in using a computer and, in fact, had only used a Mac for accessing her email prior to opening her practice in 2004. She felt that with a laptop, an all-in-one, an internet connection and an EHR as the centerpiece of her technology stable, she was set for life. She was unaware of what her technology configuration would evolve into and she became mindful of just how many of her devices would have to successfully interact to properly implement the EHR system. As of the writing of this article she was in the process of attesting for Meaningful Use and was on course to achieving MU within three months of starting the process.
She updated her EHR to the latest version (Amazing Charts version 6) in order to use the "wizards" that would count the necessary data. Ho commented that it was taking only 2-5 minutes more, per encounter, to include the required documentation. Although she would prefer not to have to spend the extra time filling in the boxes, Ho did admit the MU wizard in her EMR makes it rather simple and not too painful to collect the necessary data.
She had the following thoughts on whether MU certification is proper for any given practice. "If you are already leveraging your EMR to help you in your practice in a meaningful way, then depending on your Medicare/Medicaid revenues/patient mix, it may be worth it to apply". She felt the questions to be asked "are the monies received – or the penalty that you would incur, worth the time it will take you to: 1)learn about the MU program, 2) learn how to use the MU features of the EMR, and 3) actually do the documentation?" She also feels that a provider needs to consider his or her payor mix and practice volume. However, if a provider doesn't use the EMR to collect demographic data or to E-prescribe, there will be additional work to adopt these processes into one's workflow.
Dr. Ho feels that attestation is not proper for everyone. Smaller practices with very tight profit margins which lack breathing room may not be able to succeed because the benefits of certification may be outweighed by the efforts necessary to becoming schooled in MU deployment.
Read the full transcript of Dr. Ho's EMR and Meaningful Use interview.

Are marketing teams aware of the potential that mobile holds for personalised andinteractive communications? Do marketers and communications leaders know when a mobile strategy isappropriate, and are they aware of the pitfalls and how to avoid them?

Day's Best: The return of Reading Rainbow
After 26 years and some two dozen Emmys, the wonderful PBS show Reading Rainbow went off the air in 2009, after having inspired generations of kids to pick up a book and enjoy.
We were heartened to learn of news that the show is back — on iTunes and as an iPad app.
Reading Rainbow, which began in 1983, was hosted by LeVar Burton. Each show centered on a children's book, and included an adventure guided by Burton and ended with children's reviews, introduced with the line: "But you don't have to take my word for it."
Burton also has been in the news of late, firing back at GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney for the candidate's attack on funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting during the Denver presidential debate, and extolling the childhood educational benefits of PBS programming.
He is right about the value of PBS kids' show programming, and it's good to see him taking a stand.
In the meantime, the migration of Reading Rainbow to devices popular today gives us hope that its mission of literacy and enrichment will live on.

LIVE welcomes back NYPL Young Lions Fiction Award finalist Jesmyn Ward, author of Where the Line Bleeds and the National Book Award-winner Salvage the Bones.
Though personal experience is at the heart of Ward's previous novels, in her new book, Men We Reaped: A Memoir, she confronts race and reality in America through the story of her own life and the tragic stories of her community. Over five years, Ward lost her brother and four other young men in her life—to drugs, accidents, suicide, and the bad luck that can follow people who live in poverty, particularly black men. And as she began to write about the experience of dealing with these losses, she realized that her brother and her friends all died because of who they were and where they were from, because they lived with a history of racism and economic struggle that fostered drug addiction and the dissolution of family and relationships. Ward is joined in conversation by writer and historian William Jelani Cobb and Schomburg Center Director Khalil Gibran Muhammad.
Jesmyn Ward grew up in DeLisle, Mississippi. She received her MFA from the University of Michigan and has been a Stegner Fellow at Stanford and a Grisham Visiting Writer in Residence at the University of Mississippi. She is currently an assistant professor of creative writing at the University of South Alabama. She is the author of Where the Line Bleeds and Salvage the Bones, for which she won the 2011 National Book Award and was honored with the American Library Association's Alex Award. Salvage the Bones was also a finalist for the New York Public Library Young Lions Fiction Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, as well as a nominee for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
William Jelani Cobb, PhD is Associate Professor of History and Director of the Institute for African American Studies at the University of Connecticut. He is the author of several books including The Substance of Hope: Barack Obama & the Paradox of Progress, To the Break of Dawn: An Freestyle on the Hip Hop Aesthetic and The Devil & Dave Chappelle and Other Essays.
Dr. Cobb served as a delegate to the 2008 Democratic Convention and was selected as part of the Root 100 in 2013 — a listing of influential African American thinkers, artists, entrepreneurs and leaders. He is a frequent contributor to NewYorker.com and his work has appeared in The New Republic, the Washington Post, the New York Times and Vibe magazine.
Khalil Gibran Muhammad, Ph.D is the Director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and a former associate professor of history at Indiana University. His book The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America, published by Harvard University Press, won the 2011 John Hope Franklin Best Book award in American Studies.
Dr. Muhammad's scholarship has been featured in the New York Times, New Yorker, Washington Post, The Guardian (UK) and Atlanta Journal Constitution, as well as on Bill Moyers and Company, CSPAN, National Public Radio and Pacifica. He has been an associate editor of The Journal of American History. And he currently serves on the National Academy of Science's Committee on the Causes and Consequences of High Rates of Incarceration; the board of The Barnes Foundation; and the editorial board of Transition Magazine, published by the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute at Harvard University.
Khalil graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in Economics in 1993. After working at Deloitte & Touche LLP, he received his Ph.D. in American History from Rutgers University in 2004, specializing in 20th-century U.S. and African-American history. He spent two years as an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Vera Institute of Justice, a nonprofit criminal justice reform agency in New York City, before joining the faculty of Indiana University.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- The Iowa Waste Reduction Center (IWRC) has received a United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development grant to institute the Iowa Construction and Demolition Waste Reduction Project. The project will focus on helping construction and demolition businesses reduce waste and divert it from the landfills.
"The amount of construction and demolition waste in landfills has steadily increased in recent years and a vast majority of demolition materials could be reused or recycled, diverting it from the landfill," says Dan Nickey, senior program manager at the IWRC.
The IWRC will be developing a comprehensive educational campaign as well as an online resource center for Iowa's construction and demolition waste generators. "With an industry in constant fluctuation, it's necessary to have on-going resources for construction and demolition companies to access," continues Nickey. The 12-month project will officially begin on Tuesday, Oct. 1.
The IWRC has provided environmental services including business assistance, industry training, and research and development, for more than 25 years. IWRC is a nonprofit organization, part of Business and Community Services at UNI.

mbartine necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 396 diseños de 106 diseñadores freelance.
My name is Mac Bartine, and my wife April passed away 3 weeks ago from a rare and very aggressive form of breast cancer. She was 35.
The blog I wrote about her fight is at http://www.bartine.com. Before you join this contest, please take a look at the blog briefly - just to get a feeling for who she was. I hope that this will help to inspire your design submission, and that you'll enjoy getting to know her just a little bit.
I was - so she told me - a good husband before April was diagnosed, and I totally dedicated myself to giving her the best possible life and love I could give her after her diagnosis.
I plan to continue focusing my passion for April by raising money for cancer-focused and other charities, and for individuals who need money to get through their own struggles with cancer. Toward that end, I'm holding this contest for creating a great design that I can use for t-shirts that people will love for its design, and be proud to wear in her memory to fund raisers such as the Susan B Komen Race for the Cure.
People who knew April, but also everyone who would like to help others, and especially those who love nature. April was a very giving, loving and funny girl, and self-proclaimed natural science geek extraordinaire.
There are many people who are nature lovers, many who have been touched personally by someone else's (or their own) battle with cancer, and many friends and family of April. These will be the target audiences of this design.
* The design must incorporate "4April" (without the quotes) - preferably worked into the design instead of just block lettered in a common font
* The design must be nature-oriented (aquatic life was a favorite of April's. She LOVED jellyfish, squid, octopi and the cuttlefish. Somehow incorporating these into the design would be awesome. She also loved forests, fungi, birds...any of these would also be good subjects.)
* incorporate the pink breast cancer ribbon
A design that I keep on picturing is an underwater ocean scene with a jellyfish that has dangling tentacles spelling out "4April", and the pink breast cancer ribbon is repeated throughout the design as a school of little fish in the shape of the ribbon. This is just an idea - not a "must do". I offer it as a generic example of creatively incorporating everything into your design, or as an actual design option - as you choose.

LeTourneau University's fall commencement ceremony will begin at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, at the S.E. Belcher Jr. Chapel and Performance Center at the Longview campus, 2100 S. Mobberly Ave. About 200 undergraduate and graduate students are expected to participate.
The commencement speaker for the winter commencement ceremony will be Dr. Jerry E. White, international president and board chairman emeritus of the Navigators, a worldwide para-church organization that trains Christians to share their faith with others.
The Navigators ministers in over 100 countries with a staff of over 4,000 who work with college students, military personnel, churches and business professionals to help spread the gospel message by providing Bible study resources, Scripture memory aids and books through the organization's NavPress publishing group, which also offers The Message Bible paraphrase.
White is a retired major general from the United States Air Force. Born in Iowa and raised in Spokane, Wash., he attended the University of Washington and received a B.S. in electrical engineering in 1959. In 1964, he received a master's degree in Astronautics from The Air Force Institute of Technology before earning his Ph.D. in Astronautics from Purdue University in 1970. He is a registered professional engineer.
He served over 13 years in active duty, including as a mission controller at Cape Kennedy during the space program's heyday. He also taught as an associate professor of astronautics at the Air Force Academy in Colorado for six years and has coauthored a nationally recognized textbook on astrodynamics.
Following his resignation from active military service in 1973, he served 24 years in the Air Force Reserves, retiring July 1, 1997 as a major general. He has served on several boards and executive committees, including assignments with what is now the National Security Agency. He has won numerous honors including the George Washington Honor Medal from the Freedom Foundation. He is on the board and executive committee of the Lausanne Committee on World Evangelization and the board of Greater Europe Mission. He is Vice Chairman of the Board of the Air Force Association.
White learned of The Navigators as an undergraduate student and later initiated the organization's ministries at the Air Force Academy and at Purdue University. He began serving as executive director in June 1983 and became international president in 1986, stepping out of office in 2005.
He and his wife, Mary, together have written 13 books on work, ethics and parenting. His latest book is titled Unfinished (2013), and he has a book titled To Be a Friend, that is soon to be released. They have four grown children and 11 grandchildren.
