The 2012 Olympic Games are just months away. Olympic hopefuls and returning medalists are beginning to appear in advertisements, television talk shows and on billboards across the country. Their stories of triumph and dedication to the sport is what makes the games so inspiring. This year USO employees Andrea & Sharee had the opportunity to attend the Warrior Games – an Olympic-style competition that celebrates the achievements and abilities of wounded, ill and injured service members through athletic competition. Although these games may not be as widely known and recognized by the world, the athletes and the competitions are just as fierce.
[caption id="attachment_7254" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Andrea and Sharee at the 2012 Warrior Games[/caption]
This was Andrea's first Warrior Games, and for her colleague Sharee Posey, her third. With all the talk about London, they sat down to reflect on our own Olympic encounter and how the athletes, families and volunteers of the 2012 Warrior Games inspired them.
Andrea: Sharee, what was your biggest take-away from the Warrior Games?
Sharee: The fierce competitiveness that lives within these athletes is just one layer of what the Games are all about. It's more than the stadiums filled with chants of "Lets Go Army…lets go!" or the "Hoorahs!" of the Marines, it's about warriors healing together. Don't get me wrong, the rivalries are intense but they will never outweigh the brotherhood and sisterhood these men and women share. It is witnessed every year at the Games, when a Soldier stops in the middle of a race, giving up his chances of taking top spot, to encourage, and sometimes push, along a fellow competitor. While winning is the goal, the military creed of never leave a man behind still applies.
My first experience with this was at the inaugural games, when Army athlete and cyclist Jonathon Hosley and Navy Master Chief Petty Officer Will Wilson both literally and figuratively pushed Sgt. Monica Southall to the finish line, neither racer finished in time to claim a medal but crossing the finish line, together, was reward enough for all three. Later, I had the opportunity to speak with Hosley and asked him about giving up his chance of winning the race and he said, "If we had left her behind then none of us would have won." It is that very spirit that drives these warriors to complete their mission, whatever it maybe.
Andrea: That is so true! I have been to so many athletic competitions where you could cut the tension with a knife- but with these rivals, the camaraderie and support for their competitors was amazing! Although we heard the frequent "Let's go Army" or the intense Navy chants during swimming, at the end of the day, we always heard a "Go USA!"
Sharee: And that truly is the heart of these games, support. Whether it's the challenger who gives up his chances of winning to help a fellow athlete cross the finish line, the spouse or caretaker who takes on the added challenges of training, the volunteer who spends the day passing out water and snacks, or organizations like the USO who partner with the U.S. Olympic Committee to sponsor the games, we are all there for one common goal, to support these amazing men and women and their families through their recovery.
Andrea: And their amazing stories of triumph…these athletes have overcome visible or invisible wounds to not only survive, but thrive. Their energy, enthusiasm and love for the sport is contagious! I remember when we were at the gold medal game of wheelchair basketball. It was Army versus the Marines and I didn't have a favorite, but I found myself on the edge of my chair for every play! The Army took home the gold that night, but you wouldn't know it talking to any of the Marines, they were just as excited to be center court receiving their silver medals.
Sharee: We did meet so many amazing people. During the archery competition I spoke with a young Sailor who had been injured in Norfolk, Va., and suffers from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). When I asked about the incident that caused his injuries he told me he doesn't talk about it because talking about it makes him remember it more. And when I asked him his name he smiled at me and said, "Crash, that's what everyone calls me now."
Crash had just competed and while he wouldn't talk about how he sustained his injuries, he was more than happy to talk about his love of archery, a sport he never played until he began training for the 2012 Warrior Games.
Archery is a release for him, it was something he can do to take his mind of his injuries, and he loves to compete and to be part of a team.
Andrea: I hope we see Crash at next year's games. I look forward to returning in 2013 and cheering on these healing heroes.
Sharee: Me too. The games are a truly inspiring and unique experience and the athletes continue to amaze me year after year.

Bay Area Hospital strives to improve the health of our community every day.
Bay Area Hospital is a tobacco-free campus.
We provide some of the most advanced and compassionate care in the region.
Whether you are receiving care or visiting a loved one, our goal is to make your stay with us a positive one.
Bay Area Hospital offers a wide variety of support groups and programs to improve the health of our community.
We are continually looking for opportunities to improve our organization and keep our community informed.
Alzheimer''s disease — Don''t let the diagnosis tear your family apart.
When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer''s disease, the effects on the family can be overwhelming.
The reality that someone you love has such a devastating illness can trigger a range of emotions — including anger, fear, frustration and sadness. Conflicts are common as family members struggle to deal with the situation.
To minimize these conflicts, address the issues together.
Consider each family member''s preferences, resources and abilities.
Some loved ones might provide hands-on care, either in their own homes or in your loved one''s home. Others might be more comfortable with respite care, household chores or errands. You and your family might also choose someone to handle financial or legal issues.
Plan regular face-to-face family meetings. Include everyone who''s part of the caregiving team, including family friends and other close contacts.
During family meetings, discuss each person''s caregiving responsibilities and challenges — and make changes as needed. Be open to compromise and possibilities you hadn''t considered on your own.
If time, distance or other logistical problems are issues for certain family members, consider conference calls or video conferencing. You might also share email updates with the entire family, send updates through Twitter or start a family blog.
If your family meetings tend to turn into arguments, consider asking a counselor, social worker, mediator or other professional to moderate.
To help diffuse tension, talk about your feelings in an open, constructive manner.
If you''re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, say so — and then work together to brainstorm more effective ways to share the burden of your loved one''s care. Again, work with a professional if needed.
Be careful to express your feelings without blaming or shaming anyone else. Use "I" statements, such as "I''m having trouble juggling my own schedule with all of Dad''s appointments." Keep an open mind as you listen to other family members share their thoughts and feelings.
There are many "right" ways to provide care. Respect each caregiver''s abilities, style and values. Be especially supportive of family members responsible for daily, hands-on care.
If you''re concerned that the stress of Alzheimer''s will tear your family apart, seek help. You might join a support group for Alzheimer''s caregivers or seek family counseling.
Remember, working through conflicts together can help you move on to more important things — caring for your loved one and enjoying your time together as much as possible.

Lent is a journey, an encounter and a time of purification. On the third Sunday of Lent, we come upon liberated but grumbling Israelites wandering in the desert. Come to think of it, that might describe you and me! We've been baptized, but we still complain. We find ourselves thinking with nostalgia about certain sins and temptations. Our faith wavers; our hope bends; our love wilts. We might even be tempted to blame God for our struggles with sin.
But in the midst of fasting and struggles and doubts, God provides sustenance. He is the rock from which issues the gift of living water. He sits and waits for us to come to the water — that is, to him. The Samaritan woman, who had gone from husband to husband and whose life was a wreck, encountered and tasted this water, of course, when she spoke with a mysterious Jew at Jacob's well. Her encounter is a turning point, but it does not come easily or without questions. But as she asked questions, she found answers. And prayer is often about asking questions — not in anger, but with honesty, seeking an answer.

Lithuanian Minister Of Justice Says ACTA Is Unnecessary, Doesn't Actually Help Creators And It's Time To Reevaluate IP
from the nicely-said dept
The essence of my comment was that certain provisions of ACTA are new to our legal system (more severe punishment, more control of internet providing services) and I do not see why those provisions are necessary.While it'll be interesting to see how far all of this goes, it's quite notable just how much backlash the SOPA overreach is suddenly creating -- where all sorts of skepticism about existing copyright law is suddenly coming out in more mainstream places.
I have also stated that our life is more and more dependent on R&D, new inventions, creativity. Existing IP protection system, however, is more about protecting the IP protection industry than a protection of inventors and authors. Current debate worldwide is a clear sign that we have to re-evaluate the existing IP rights system.

Cano, Montero go deep in Mariners' 6-1 win
SEATTLE (AP) — Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer and Jesus Montero went deep too — hitting his first big league homer in more than a year to help the Seattle Mariners sweep a two-game set over the San Diego Padres with a 6-1 win Tuesday.
Roenis Elias pitched seven strong innings and Jesus Montero also homered for Seattle. Elias (6-5) allowed three hits and struck out six without a walk while facing the minimum in five innings.
Dominic Leone and Danny Farquhar each pitched an inning in relief.
The only mistake Elias made turned into a solo home run by Rene Rivera in the second.
Cano's fourth home run of the season gave the Mariners a 4-1 lead in the fifth and was enough to chase San Diego starter Eric Stults after the inning ended.

Predictions on the Winner are Impossible at the First Audi Melges 32 World Championship
21 September 2009
As published by Audi - B-Plan
Porto Cervo - in Porto Cervo, you can feel the tension of a global challenge in the air.
It's only a matter of time, because on Wednesday the first Audi Melges 32 World Championship will begin.
This much awaited championship comes after an intense season of racing, having been more than two months since the last event of the Audi circuit.
Many teams in the world have been further strengthened with changes and new additions to the crews that point in no uncertain terms to the World Champion title. It is also conceivable that some balance within the fleet, from July to now has changed: which will begin to show tomorrow at the warm up, but it is likely that the best cards when talking about Pre-tactical, remain well covered with each team waiting to see the first points assigned. The last rehearsal tomorrow will be only virtual, although opponents may not resist the temptation to push on the accelerator immediately without much reserve.
The forecast this time, more than ever, is impossible to be certain of the name of the Melges 32 World Champion for 2009 before the last measure of conclusive evidence on Sunday 27 September.

This tacit estimation derives from the true circumstance of having been previously warned; and it must be reflected as a triple / double room with extra bed in all the printed tickets and/or vouchers of the travel..
Timetable: the time of check-in in hotels is from 14:00 h, and in apartments it is from 17:00 h. The check-ou time is before 10:00 h. Reservations usually remain guaranteed until 20:00. If you foresee your arrival for later, we recommend you to warn straight to the establishment. If you don't the establishment might sell your room or apartment.
Special conditions for Children, Third and Fourth People: The age of the children must appear on the Voucher / ticket. On the contrary, the establishment will be able to claim the difference between the child's rate and the adult one. The establishment may request written proof of the age of the children. Children up to 2 years old (or younger if indicated in the initial rate), except indication telling the contrary, will pay straight in the hotel the cradles, restaurants services and other facilities requested in the establishment.
Discounts for children, third and fourth person will be applicable whenever they share room with two more people.
Descriptions: Here we have all the facilities the hotel offers. This is a complementary information since it is a question of services that may be not available at the check-in, but they may be requested straight at the establishment, such as television, safe, garage, etc. Some published services depend on timetables, dates determined by the establishment, such as air conditioning, swimming pools, nursery schools, leisure facilities, buses, etc.
All the published descriptions are confirmed by the establishment. Any change during the period of validity, will not be able to be imputed as responsibility of AViajes.com.
AViajes.com is not responsible for the misprints (content, prices, descriptions...) that could exist in the site; being just valid the information which appears in the Confirmation voucher as well as the information given by the booking department at the moment of carrying the reservation out. The prices of this programming are specified in euros.
Air conditioning/heating/swimming pools: the timetable of these services depends on the establishment. Besides, these facilities may be subjected to possible breakdowns; in that case the Organizing Agency does not take responsibility of the correct functioning of these services.
Parking (exterior and interior) / Garage: this service is subject to timetables, availability and the price depends on the establisment.
Meals: full board serviceis breakfast, lunch and dinner. The first service to be facilitated by the hotel will be the dinner and the last one will be the lunch of the check-out day (unless the contrary is specified at the moment of confirming reservation). In half board reservations, the establisment will serve breakfast and dinner, except previous agreement between the client and the hotel and except in those hotels where the restaurant services are already specified. Drinks are not included in the price.

Seaside developer: Zone change critical
Waterford - Roughly 200 people showed up Monday at the Town Hall auditorium for a Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing on zoning amendments to the former Seaside Regional Center grounds sought by Farmington developer Mark Steiner.
Steiner has entered into a contract with the state to purchase the property for $8 million. But the final sale is contingent upon the elimination of the provision that the development be housing for people ages 55 and older. Steiner also wants to add new language that would permit the demolition of one or more historic structures on the 32-acre former state facility for the mentally disabled.
The board took no action on the application for a zone change to eliminate the age requirement and add the new language in and continued the public hearing to June 27.
Steiner has plans to build between 80 and 120 luxury units to be marketed as vacation homes that would cost a minimum of $500,000.
"I don't see how we could do it without these changes," Steiner said.
The hearing began with a two-hour presentation from Steiner's legal, planning and design team, which was followed by public comment.
Brian Miller, a planning consultant hired by Steiner, said the market for age-restricted housing has shifted since the provision was put in place and argued that the development could generate as much as $1.7 million annually in property taxes for the town if the age restriction was lifted.
If approved, the elimination of the age restriction would not cause a significant increase in the number of children in the public school system, Miller said.
"We estimate about 11 kids," he said.
Mike Cegan, the landscape architect hired by Steiner, said the majority of the original zoning regulations for the development would not change, including those on population density, building heights, minimum setbacks and landscape buffers.
Cegan said there would be no changes to the open-space provisions or to the proposed 4-acre public park with access to Long Island Sound.
Cece Saunders, a historic preservation consultant, said the development would follow state historic preservation guidelines when determining if the structures, which have not been maintained by the state, could remain, she said.
Saunders said she would recommend Seaside's distinctive brick patterns, cupola and archways be replicated in a possible new structure.
Robert Corriveau, a resident, spoke in favor of the zone change, saying that "times have changed and the economy has changed."
"It would be an asset to the town," Corriveau said.
Resident Philip Antupit was concerned that new development would cause taxes on neighboring homes to rise and objected to Steiner's plans to add dining space on the site.
Ingrid Macesker, who lives in the area, was outraged that Cass Gilbert-designed buildings could be torn down.
"That's just unbelievable to me," Macesker said.
Waterford will take position on Seaside taxing district proposal

House Speaker Dean Cannon: "I share Governor Scott's commitment to making the tough policy decisions that will benefit our state in the long-term, rather than settling for a knee-jerk Washington approach that tries to put off short-term problems regardless of negative long-term consequences. I look forward to working with the Governor on the many issues for which he has advocated which require legislative approval or oversight. I am confident that we can work together to refine the best ideas that come from each chamber and the Governor's Office and am very encouraged by the progress we have already made."
Senate President Mike Haridopolos: "I congratulate Governor Scott for laying out a vision for Florida that will result in the economic turnaround we so badly need in our state. The message of getting to work that propelled him to the Governor's office has carried forward in his role as Florida's chief executive. The Governor's vision for Florida is bold and decisive. The Florida Senate is prepared to work with him to accomplish the goals he discussed in his State of the State address. During the next 60 days, his agenda will get a thorough review in the Senate. We all share the same goal – getting Florida back to work."
Florida Democratic Party Chairman Rod Smith: "Tonight, Governor Rick Scott's words trying to defend his job destroying agenda rang hollow to Floridians hurting during the hard economic times. Since he took office, Floridians have seen that Rick Scott only cares about imposing his rigid and extreme philosophy on our state, rather than working to implement common sense solutions for Florida. Whether he is killing high speed rail, proposing his spending plan that would lay off 20,000 teachers, or putting communities at risk by ending critical law enforcement tools to stop pill-mills, Rick Scott's agenda is doing real harm to our state."
Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam: "I share the Governor's vision to reduce unemployment and grow our economy by creating jobs. I look forward to working with the Governor, the members of the Cabinet and the Legislature to accomplish this goal. As Commissioner of Agriculture, I'm focused on fostering an environment in which businesses can grow and thrive in Florida. I believe we should invest in higher education, research and grants that will enable Floridians to create, innovate and, ultimately, generate more jobs across our great state."
Florida Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Mark Wilson: "It's refreshing to have a Governor who says the same things after the election as he did before the election. Governor Scott understands that to grow the private sector, we must shrink the government sector. Tonight, Governor Scott reinforced his pledge to improve education, lower taxes on entrepreneurs, and to pass legal reform. Florida is keeping the American dream alive, and Governor Scott has the bold vision and the uncommon courage to stay strong and help Florida lead the nation back to prosperity."
House Majority Leader Carlos Lopez-Cantera: "I, like Governor Scott, believe that Florida should not rely on handouts from the federal government or participate in the reckless spending practices that have become so commonplace in Washington D.C. The governor highlighted the need for a fiscally responsible government that eliminates wasteful spending, curbs the growth of entitlement programs, and restores jobs to Floridians. Although addressing these difficult issues may not be easy, it is necessary to ensure the future economic prosperity of our state and our state's citizens. I look forward to working with him this Session."

Mayor's Office
To observe National Missing Children's Day, City Public Safety officials urge residents to "Take 25" tomorrow, May 25. The campaign, created by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, encourages parents, guardians, educators and others to take 25 minutes to talk to children about safety.
Julie Righter, 911 Center Communications Coordinator, said each year more than 100 children are taken by non-family members with the intent to either kill, hold for ransom or keep indefinitely.
"The day is a reminder that child safety should be a national priority," Righter said. "It is critically important to teach your children how to call 9-1-1 and what to say to the dispatcher such as their address, full name phone number and the exact problem."
Take 25 focuses on prevention by providing communities with free safety resources including safety tips, conversation starters and engaging activities. More information on National Missing Children's Day and the Take 25 campaign is available at take25.org.

Description: Dr. Elizabeth Thompson, a graduate of Yale, Harvard and Johns Hopkins Universities is a Radiation Oncologist who has devoted her career to treating women with breast cancer. She is also a patient having undergone prophylactic mastectomies to reduce her risk of developing breast cancer.

She felt there was an opportunity to develop products for the healthcare industry that would enhance patient comfort, recovery and dignity. Dr. Thompson launched Bffl Co. Best Friends for Life and its first product, the Bffl Bag, a friend-to-friend care bag dedicated to improving the patient experience after surgery. The duffle bags contain medical, comfort, personal care and gift products, as well as important papers, and logs.

Approximately 12 hospitals are distributing Bffl Bags to their mastectomy and lumpectomy patients You will find all the information at www.bfflco.com

Offering an entire line of voluptuous insulated beverage covers, sporting a Boobzie with your beer is guaranteed to bring a sense of fun to any get-together. The Boobzie brand made its official debut in 2011 when the Hooters restaurant chain featured the first-ever Boobzie throughout their 460 locations. Our Sin-City "Welcome to Las Vegas" Boobzie soon followed; commissioned by the Marshall Retail Group for their hugely popular souvenir shops. The success of our two custom lines prompted us to finalize the patent and brainstorm a number of new designs. Our initial line of 14 products or as we prefer to call them, "girls", was only recently unveiled via our online store. Each one models a snug shirt, with a tongue-and-cheek slogan, along with a profile that highlights a few aspects of their (endearing) personality. The concept of our products being actual girls along with the inclusion of a playful backstory, is a fun way to differentiate the brand, to provide an edge, an attitude, and to ensure Boobzie will be something to get -- and keep -- people talking.

For every yogurt sold at Red Mango, Rye Radiology will donate 20 percent of the proceeds to the Westchester Making Strides for Breast Cancer Foundation for breast cancer research.

Here is a video link describing the 3D process. http://www.ryeradiology.com/3d-mamography.html Rye Radiology is a full-service imaging facility offering 3D and 2D digital mammograms, breast ultrasound, breast MRI and breast biopsies.

Simply Divine
By: Legacy Staff
5 years ago
You may not know the name Harris Glenn Milstead. But if you're a fan of campy movies and music, you just might know his alter-ego.
Divine was probably America's most beloved drag queen, and his over-the-top performance and appearance were perfect for the cult films of John Waters. Divine starred in many of Waters's movies, ending his reign with Hairspray. The original version of the film – and the favorite version of cult-movie purists – was released just weeks before Divine died Mar. 7, 1988.
But Divine was more than just a man who played women onscreen – he also had a successful career as a disco singer. His songs were strange and a little baffling, but they were also so very danceable. The combination took off in clubs around the world.
When Divine wasn't working, the drag came off – it was a persona, not his whole life. But as an actor and singer, he was happy to be known as Divine: "Divine. That's my name. It's the name John [Waters] gave me. I like it." The fans liked it too.

When my dad was a young man growing up in Ireland he was an avid cyclist, and spent every spare penny he had on the maintenance of his bicycles. When he was able to take a holiday from work he and his friends would cycle around the country. Together they navigated the entire Republic of Ireland. They were very well prepared, carrying with them sleeping bags, a primus stove for cooking, along with a neatly compact kit of cooking implements, some food, candles, and torches (a kind of flashlight) for night lighting.
Each day the travelling group would go as far as the wind and their legs would carry them. Overnight accommodations were arranged as they went. Their fellow countrymen were very helpful and very welcoming. Many nights they found themselves sleeping in the hayloft of an accommodating farm, in exchange for helping out a little the next day. After such nights they were usually greeted with a delicious breakfast of fresh eggs, sausages, bacon, batch bread (a delicious Irish bread), and coffee so strong "it would grow hair on your chest", as my dad used to say.
On a trip up into Connemara they found themselves arriving in a small village too late at night to make any sort of sleeping arrangements. They had cycled through the Twelve Bens, a mountain range which, while not exceptionally high, has roads so narrow and drops so steep that cycling through it is not for the faint of heart. The weather had closed in on them, and visibility was very poor; they had to stop for a while before completing their journey through the mountains, thus the very late arrival at the village.
The weather was still a little unstable when they arrived, and not wanting to get drenched by an overnight rain while sleeping under the stars, they decided to seek shelter inside castle ruins one of the party had spotted in a field on the edge of the village. They made their way through the field, gingerly stepping over 'cow pies', and trying to quiet the clatter of their bicycles so as not to unsettle the cows. My dad loved the darkness of the night; he said it seemed as though there were a billion stars in the sky.
They arrived to discover the ruins of the castle were in good enough shape that they would be well sheltered for the night. They pulled out their gear, lit candles, heated up the primus stove, and prepared a small meal over which they enjoyed animated conversation about their day's adventures. They used the torches and candles to poke around a bit inside the ruins before finally extinguishing them and settling in for the night.
My dad said he had never slept so soundly. They slept late into the morning and awakened fresh and ready to go into the village for a hearty meal before they once again set out on their bikes.
Along the road they met a shepherd moving a large flock of sheep down the road. He directed them to a small pub where they could get a meal, and told them to avoid the castle ruins on their tour because during the night he had noticed strange lights in the castle keep. He was worried that the angry ghost who used to haunt the place might be back. The cycling party said nothing and proceeded to the pub.
They arrived to find the place in an uproar with a couple of villagers excitedly talking about strange lights seen in the castle ruins the previous night, how the lights moved around so much, how they were glowing for a while and then suddenly gone. There was one "ole fella" (my dad's words) in particular who seemed to delight in regaling the group with stories about apparitions met and ghosts that had once haunted the ruins, and who wondered aloud what this reappearance might mean.
My father and his friends felt they should own up to the fact that it was them lighting up the ruins the previous night, and not an angry ghost; however, everyone seemed so excited about it that they just didn't have the heart to say anything. The 'cycling apparitions' happily shared a meal with the villagers at the pub and continued on their journey.
Note: *The ruins in the image I have included above are not in fact in Connemara; they are in Tipperary, but you get the picture.
