Home-School Communication | Special Education Consultant ...

When effective communication occurs between home and school, there is less likely to be misunderstandings and it?is more likely that supportive collaborative relationships will develop. It is important for both teachers and parents to find opportunities to communicate something positive. Home -school communication should not just be a venue for voicing concerns or making complaints. I have read many home-school communication logs.? Often times they are just be lists of ?what happened? at school or at home rather than being an effective trust building vehicle. Getting a phone call from the teacher regarding something special the child did that day makes parents feel proud and appreciative of the school.? It communicates that a phone call from school isn?t only because there is a problem. Getting a ?thank-you? note from a parent in which she acknowledges that her child demonstrated a skill at home that he/she has been working on at school makes a teacher feel valued and respected. The teacher now sees that parents take the time to write when they have something positive to say not just when they are angry or frustrated. ?When working with families, my goal is to help them develop open and honest communication and trust between themselves and the school.? I help them learn how to ?talk? to teachers, voice their concerns in a positive, non-judgmental manner, and how to ask questions keeping in mind that the child is always the winner when there is effective home-school communication.

ASPCA Rescues Hundreds of Cats From Animal ... - Pet Pro Plus

To: HEALTH AND NATIONAL EDITORS

Cats removed and transported to temporary shelter with assistance from local, national agencies

NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ ? The ASPCA(R) (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(R)), at the request of the Madison County Sheriff?s Office and Madison County Animal Control in northern Florida, is managing the removal and sheltering of hundreds of cats living in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions from a non-profit cat sanctuary known as Caboodle Ranch in Lee, Fla., approximately 64 miles east of Tallahassee, Fla. This is the largest number of cats the ASPCA has ever removed from one location in an animal cruelty investigation.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060731/NYM024LOGO)

As a result of an investigation spanning for more than a year, a search warrant was executed Monday morning for the removal of the animals. The ASPCA is collecting additional evidence on the property for the investigation, as well as leading the removal and sheltering efforts with its Field Investigation and Response and Animal Forensics teams. The founder of Caboodle Ranch has been arrested and multiple animal cruelty charges are pending.

?After receiving numerous complaints regarding the care of animals at Caboodle Ranch, we?re glad that the appropriate enforcement action is being taken,? said Sheriff Ben Stewart with the Madison County Sheriff?s Office. ?This has been an ongoing issue that we?ve been monitoring and we?re grateful that the ASPCA is able to provide assistance with the investigation.?

?The ASPCA is pleased to be able to provide expertise and resources to support the efforts of the local authorities in investigating this ?sanctuary? that spiraled out of control,? added Tim Rickey, senior director of the ASPCA?s Field Investigations and Response team. ?This is a tragic situation. Caboodle Ranch was clearly overwhelmed with hundreds of cats in dire need of medical treatment, and the sanctuary had no adoption program or any spay/neuter efforts to effectively manage its current population. The ASPCA?s goal is to work quickly to remove these cats from the property and safely transport them to the temporary shelter, where they will be triaged by a veterinary team.?

The cats were living outside in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions with various medical issues that were left untreated. Many of the cats exhibited various signs of neglect and appear to be suffering from upper respiratory conditions and eye infections, among other medical issues. Several cats were in critical condition and responders discovered numerous deceased cats on the property.

Agencies assisting the ASPCA on scene include: Atlanta Humane Society (Atlanta, Ga.); Bay Area Disaster Animal Response Team (Belleair Bluffs, Fla.); Cat Depot (Sarasota, Fla.); Florida State Animal Response Coalition (Bushnell, Fla.); Good Mews Animal Foundation (Marietta, Ga.); Humane Society of Broward County (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.); International Fund for Animal Welfare (Yarmouth Port, Mass.); McKamey Animal Care and Adoption Center (Chattanooga, Tenn.); PetSmart Charities, Inc. (Phoenix, Ariz.); and RedRover (Sacramento, Calif.). Staff from the University of Florida (Gainesville) College of Veterinary Medicine and Maples Center for Forensic Medicine at UF are also assisting with the rescue operation.

?Removing hundreds of animals is a huge undertaking, and we are truly grateful that these agencies offered their assistance in the case,? said Kathryn Destreza, director of Investigations for the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response team. ?Numerous agencies throughout Florida and as far as California have committed to helping us continue our life-saving work and giving these rescued animals a second chance.?

The cats will be transferred via the ASPCA?s animal transport trailer to a temporary shelter at an undisclosed location, where ASPCA medical director Dr. Rhonda Windham will oversee their medical triage. To assist in the triage, the ASPCA has on scene its fully equipped ?Mobile Animal Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) Unit,? a specially-designed vehicle outfitted with state-of-the-art forensic tools as well as medical equipment tailored for animal patients.

The undercover investigation was set into motion after complaints about the facility were received by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). PETA submitted its evidence to the Third Judicial Circuit State Attorney?s Office, Madison County Sheriff?s Office, and Madison County Animal Control. The ASPCA was contacted for assistance in the criminal investigation, evidence collection, rescue and sheltering efforts of the case.

About the ASPCA(R) Founded in 1866, the ASPCA(R) (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(R)) is the first humane organization established in the Americas and serves as the nation?s leading voice for animal welfare. More than one million supporters strong, the ASPCA?s mission is to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States.

US coach Klinsmann gets another shot at Italy

By DANIELLA MATAR

Associated Press

Associated Press Sports

updated 9:56 a.m. ET Feb. 28, 2012

GENOA, Italy (AP) -United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann still has bad memories of playing Italy.

As Germany coach at the 2006 World Cup, Klinsmann lost to the eventual-champion Italians in the semifinals. But the former Inter Milan great will get another chance when the Americans face Italy on Wednesday in a friendly.

"It's true that I've never won against Italy," Klinsmann said. "I've lost in both matches as coach and that makes you understand that to beat the Azzurri you need to give more than 100 percent.

"I remember the World Cup semifinal. Losing that game was really hard to get over. We were playing at home dreaming of winning the World Cup," Klinsmann added. "To beat Italy you need to score first or else they'll kill you, you can't stay calm against them."

The United States is on a three-match winning streak but this is the first time Klinsmann will be able to call on his top players since November's 3-2 victory over Slovenia. It defeated Venezuela and Panama while playing with a backup squad.

Klinsmann is not interested in easy victories ahead of its opening qualifier against Antigua and Barbuda. Instead, he wants games that will provide a more realistic picture of the team. After Italy, the Americans host Scotland and Brazil in May.

"For me every game is a new adventure," Klinsmann said. "The Americans are proud to be playing against a national side such as Italy. We want to always show everyone that we know our worth on the pitch and they shouldn't underestimate us."

The United States, however, will be without Landon Donovan for the game in Genoa. He withdrew Sunday because he is ill and will miss the chance to play with Clint Dempsey for the first time since Klinsmann was hired as coach last year. Also out is Jermaine Jones with a strained right calf.

The two have been replaced by Sasha Kljestan and Brek Shea.

Italy has its own personnel problem, especially up front where it is missing injured forwards Giuseppe Rossi and Antonio Cassano. Also, Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has been left of the squad because of his fiery temper and unpredictability.

However, with Antonio Di Natale - who scored his 18th league goal of the season Sunday for Udinese - in the side, Klinsmann knows the Italians still have plenty of attacking threat.

"I really like Cesare Prandelli's Italy side," Klinsmann said. "Watching the last few games, I've really liked the attack, where there are amazing players and they press really well."

Roma striker Pablo Osvaldo has also fallen out with Prandelli and he was left out the squad after being sent off for violent conduct in the 4-1 loss at Atalanta - something which the Italy coach admits made him hand a debut call up to Osvaldo's teammate, Fabio Borini.

"We were following him but without the omission of his Roma teammate he would have had to wait for another time," Prandelli said. "It's time to stop this type of football, made up of off-the-ball fights, all it is is a sign of weakness. And in any case my footballers know it: whoever spits or reacts can't be in the national team. If they don't clean up their acts, they risk missing out on the Euros.

"I consider Balotelli to be the starting foward of this team. But now he has three months to show me he has changed. Him and Osvaldo have my number. I'm very disappointed that after the incidents they were involved in they didn't call me."

Rhyjo ? Making A Successful Podcast that Gets Liked.

Using podcasts will allow you as an Internet marketer to create a new channel in which to relate to your audience and a way to offer them consistent value. Broadcasting and podcasting are pretty much the same thing, however podcasting is done online. You can give your podcast listeners a lot of good quality content in a variety of ways. The purpose of the following article is to give you a clear idea as to what you can do to make your podcast better than the best ?

Create Blocks: The key to success of any podcast is to make it interesting enough, so that your listeners don?t start to feel bored. Placing an audio ?bumper? between each short and diverse segment is a good way to keep your audiences attention. It doesn?t matter what this is, it could be music, a different sound effect or something that is just your own whimsical trick. Regardless of what you choose to use, creating chunks in your podcast will make it easier to follow and much more fun. People do get bored listening to anything that is too long and tedious. While your aim with the podcast is to give your listeners value, how you segment it also plays a role in enhancing this very value.

Good Guest Interviews: most of the talking. Listeners will find it more enjoyable to hear the responses your guest to your questions if they are listening to an interview on your podcast. Your questions should not be close ended, however they do need to be quick and snappy. It doesn?t matter what kind of topic you?re covering in your interview, if you want your listeners to be happy with your podcast then let your guest handle the ?value-giving? part. Having your guest interview is a value you are trying to give during your podcast, so while you may have the urge to give your own input or talk in between, make sure that it doesn?t detract from the value offered. Actually having never done business offline can be helpful to you since your only exposure will be doing it online. Dynamic is often used to describe doing business on the internet and sometimes fluid is mention, as well. So just remember that the climate can become very different, and you will have to adjust to it the best you can. We personally know how effective triple alert can be in a business, but still you have to consider it against the backdrop of doing business on the web. One thing that gets the unsuspecting in trouble is they do not bother to ask important questions or give serious thought and attention to matters like this. Due diligence and make your decision about it; go or no go ? experiment and test everything and have no fear.

Stuff it With Goodness: You want to offer as much value as possible, so if you have a lot of good quality stuff, then put in as much of it as you can so there are no empty spaces. Your listeners minds will be moving faster than your mouth, so they will be fast at listening to and analyzing your content. So do whatever you can to put in immense value and goodness into your podcast while moving quickly. Because this particular aspect is tricky especially when you are trying to keep your podcast short, it is important to be prepared, don?t ramble and keep everything precise and to the point.

If you are a newcomer to podcasting, it can take some time before you seeing quality results, but once you begin to do it regularly, you will understand that you will need to make a commitment to offer quality content consistently to be able to succeed. However, there?s no doubt that you can derive massive exposure and build a really strong relationship with your target audience by simply focusing on improving the quality of your podcast, and getting it right.

Of course we all know that nothing is perfect or applicable for everyone, but for online marketing today?s discussion has far-reaching implications. We will be very hard pressed to ever believe a business cannot take an additional technique and make it work for them. A lot of people can sometimes slip back into a lazier approach to their businesses if they are making solid profits and maybe begin outsourcing work, etc. People in business, on or off the net, have been wiped out and lost all their hard work and income stream. Even with a powerful method using CSC credit services, you will never get to the point where everything is totally hands-free, nor do you really want to do that. The competition is always working to grab your market share, and you never know when or if your one trick marketing pony could become obsolete the next day.

Reddit drafts Internet anti-piracy bill; good luck with that

1 hr.

Last month, during a discussion of the ill-fated Stop Online Piracy Act, at least a half dozen congressmen referred to?those?who understand the global system of?computer networks connected by?the standard?Internet protocol suite as "nerds." So it makes sense that "nerds" would attempt where our tech-ignorant representatives failed: Write their own version of an Internet regulation bill. And that's what Reddit did.

The link sharing site, which played a major role in helping to defeat SOPA last month, proposes ithe Free Internet Act (FIA), a crowdsourced alternative to the government proposals many found restrictive to both creativity and free speech. The first draft of FIA, originally launched by members of the?/r/fia subreddit (forum), is available on Google Docs.?

?Yeah, good luck with that.?

Designed to "promote prosperity, creativity, entrepreneurship and innovation" on the Internet, FIA is?big on Internet freedom, while offering little for the entertainment industry to embrace.?People in the bad place will enjoy tall glasses of frosty H20 before?the Motion Picture Association of America and the Recording Industry Association of America?? two of D.C.'s most powerful and well-funded lobbies???allow FIA anywhere near our nation's capital.

Here are a few points with which the MPAA, the RIAA will certainly take issue:?

These and other issues are covered in the FIA seem reasonable ? so reasonable that it makes one's head hurt to realize why it's so hard to come up with a decent bill.?

  • When it comes to pirated content or copyright violations, "only the creator or uploader of data is responsible for whether that data is legal to upload, possess or made available to other users or information services," which would leave sites such as Megaupload off the hook.?
  • Anyone who uploads illegal data to the Internet is liable only if it can be proved the accused knew the data was illegal in the country or countries where it was uploaded. ?
  • Removal of content deemed illegal can't be removed willy-nilly ? the uploader must receive a 30-day notice, as well as info on why the data is being removed and who gave the order.?

Some top players in the entertainment industry spin the January Internet protests that lead to SOPA's death as a corporate marketing coup.?"Their version of the story is that a small group of powerful Internet players, including Google, Reddit and Wikipedia, ganged up on lawmakers by bending the will of impressionable Internet users with scare tactics,"?notes Ad Age's Simon Dumenco.?

Yet it was individual Reddit members who, working together, really provided the steam to the Stop SOPA protest, with Silicon Valley bigs joining later. While the current version of FIA would be untenable to the entertainment business (and a few other interested parties), as an academic exercise, it does offer the education that congressional nerd-bashers seemed to be asking for last January.?

Helen A.S. Popkin goes blah blah blah about the Internet ? at least until the Stop Online Piracy Act becomes a law, making snark a libelous felony. Tell her to get a real job on Twitter and/or Facebook. Also, Google+.

Pidgin is language of laughter ? Victor Ehikhamenor

BY MORENIKE TAIRE

It is virtually impossible to predict what Victor Ehikhamenor will do next. From getting repatriated home (to Nigeria) on the team of Next, the newspaper that was to fulfil the integrity yearnings of the idealist Nigerian, as a Creative Director, he morphs to being a big player in new Media publishing with Zazugist.com. Best known as a roving visual artist albeit based in the United States, he is to the arts a natural, as comfortable with the pen as with the scapula. Chatting with Sunday Vanguard over lunch, he tells the reasons why he thinks pidgin English has come of age.

SOME parties have attributed the country?s socio economic woes on the inability of all to converse in the English language properly. What is your take on that?

Everybody is a purist in their profession. When it comes to language I would not say Nigeria?s problem begins with the language because commerce is going on. People trade. Yes, you can say because everybody does not speak the same language there is a problem somewhere but we can not lump the entire thing on it.

Speaking same language
There are countries that speak the same language and have similar problems.

Like which one?
UK has one language, but I?m trying to see an African country that does not have segmented language?
I was going to come to that. In Sierra Leone for instance everybody speaks the creole no matter where they are from?
Pidgin has one of the commonest structures of a developing language.

Every language goes through phases. It has been there for quite a while but it came when the missionaries came so you cannot really say it?s old or mature enough to say it has the nuances and structure it should have but you must not undermine the fact that you have American English, Scottish English, English English, so why can?t we begin to treat it like a proper language. People have been writing novels with pidgin.

Recently, even younger writers such as Uzodinma. These are published by high end, mainstream publishers. Not to go too far, let?s look at Sozaboy, written in rotten English as Ken Saro Wiwa put it. I feel it is one of those languages you can easily speak outside the country. If you and I were to be having a conversation in a London cafe and we don?t want anybody to hear what we are discussing, we?ll switch to pidgin.

But in the case of pidgin there are so many kinds of it. If you are from Warri you might not even understand what someone from Benue is trying to say and then in the North they hardly even speak any pidgin at all.

Not that much but I guess that is where the challenge is because you can?t technically say it?s a nationwide language but it?s the closest thing we have to what you can say is a little bit indigenous and cuts right across. The market woman in Umuahia, you have to speak pidgin to her iF you don?t speak Igbo. If you go to Kano, the spare parts guy selling to the mallam, they are not speaking Hausa.

Victor Ehikhamenor

Pidgin runs along the coastal line in West Africa because they are the first to interact with the explorers and missionaries before it passes on to the hinterland so when you see Warri, Sapele, Sierra Leone, Liberia speaking the language it?s because that is where it came from. Everyone keeps saying pidgin can?t do this and that then WAZOBIA came and everybody started listening to them. It?s almost like saying now that everybody has to understand Wole Soyinka?s type of English.

Proper English
Even the proper English- putting proper in quote- there are people that speak it differently. The English that Patrick Obayamen- former house of rep lawmaker from Edo State- speaks, is different. If you don?t put a dictionary near you, you?ll not understand it. Every language has its variance. I have seen different ways people speak it and write it, which is very interesting. It has a standard, a structure.

It?s not written down?
Among my writers, when they send me articles I have to edit them. What am I editing? Something that has no structure cannot be edited. The white man has not put it in a big book and written about it and all that, we begin to say pidgin is not structured. You just have to learn it, master it the way you master the English language, write about it too. Not all the people who can write it can speak it and not all the people who can speak it can write it.

But there has to be some sort of structure?
When it comes to the written form it has to be able to communicate and anything that needs to be able to communicate must have a structure.

Whose job would that be. Do we just allow it to develop naturally or should we have departments for pidgin studies in universities?

When I was in Ekpoma where I read English as my first degree, we had pidgin English as a second language. Professor Longe taught us that, but until we start doing certain things? then there was no newspaper that used pidgin English as a form of writing. People tend to think it?s only spoken and should not be written.

I think we are the ones that will start it from somewhere. What I?ve started is a forum where one can take a deeper look at this language, with which you speak to everybody, from your maiguard to the president. ?ol? boy, that your hat get as e be o?. It should have a home and that is what I?ve done. People can come and have a conversation that is peculiar to us.

It?s all well and good, though it?s easier on one?s imagination to think of pidgin as a language that is used for comedy or even commerce, music and so on. It cuts across. In terms of news, there is actually a lot of meaning lost when news is translated into pidgin, but that is one side of it. The other side, the way people perceive pidgin in contemporary times in terms of the way people look at WAZOBIA and so on. They don?t perceive them as serious. When they want serious news they go for English.

Again it depends on how you form it. I listen to WAZOBIA a lot. When I first came into the country it was my channel of choice. It was exciting. Why do people say French is a sexy language? The language of love? And they have been able use that. Why can?t we say pidgin is a language of happiness. Does it mean a lot of people don?t hate in France. Does it mean their news is all about love?

When you listen to news on WAZOBIA, the sombre ones, the newscaster is able to tone it down. What we are doing with ZazuNews.com, we look for the news that pertain to the people who are speaking this language. I am not really targeting the upper class who if they hear their child speaking pidgin they will probably slap the child.

Can these people read?
There has been a Yoruba newspaper forever and we have people reading it. We also have to find a way to deliver it to these people. People that you don?t think can read, how many times have you sent them recharge card number or text: abeg check carburettor. How much you go pay for my UBA account.

They read these things. Nigerian literacy rate is about 30 per cent. We are looking at the sms and mobile platforms. We are going to look at applications eventually that will be deployed to android so that people can have quick access. News is just about 2% of what I intend to do with ZazuNews. I want it to be a community, almost like a wedding party.

They are eating food one side, they are drinking one side, the other side is appreciating somebody?s gele, the other side is gossiping: you no see am, e don marry second wife again. That is where you will hear about contract. There are those who say: ?make I go dat wedding sef, make I know as I go take arrange my own?.

You go there to learn as well. Which is why we have a dictionary. It?s not exhaustive but it?s a growing document. We are going to open it up like Wikipedia so that people can add new words. Language is almost a living thing. It?s not static. We want a reference point.

Comments are moderated. Please keep them clean and brief.

This 1960s Skater Looks Like a Time Traveler From 2012 [Image Cache]

As I was sifting through this excellent LIFE photograph archive of skateboarding in the 1960's, I noticed something a little off. Amidst the flooded dress pants, sweater jackets and generally well dressed people of the 1960's, was this guy. Jeans. Shirt. Shades. Devil may care attitude. He looks like a dude who just shot a Instagram pic, not a guy from the 60's. More »

Quran burning in Kabul? What it's like for an expat in Afghanistan

During a lockdown, if you try to walk across the street to buy bread, your compound guards will not only deny you exit, they?ll reprimand you for being outside at all. It's all part of living in Kabul.

I?ve gotten plenty of phone calls and e-mails from friends and family in the States asking me how I?m coping this week with the angry and deadly protests here over Quran burnings at a military base. I'm OK. The barrage of concern directed my way whenever there is a flare-up of some sort here has become part of my normal security updates.?

Skip to next paragraph

Here in Kabul, those start with a text message or e-mail that reads like a military report.

A staff security director will explain that a situation is developing, and that they are monitoring it carefully, and that employees should stay tuned for further updates.?

A follow-up message will inform you whether what they are watching is peaceful or violent, and whether it is moving or stationary.

Depending on the length of a given protest, certain sections of town invariably become off limits. The largest foreign organizations mark their cars and subsequently worry about being targeted, but many organizations here slip around the city in unmarked cars and local taxis, keeping as low a profile as possible.?

When you get the message that violence is expected, you are put on lockdown, known among expats as "White City" for the UN?s corresponding alert color.

A bizarre ritual sets in: You devour every bit of news being published half way around the world about events happening within a few blocks of your house, though often you won?t see anything other than empty streets and shuttered shops.

Friends you haven?t heard from in months will check in with you, often with more current news than you have, and ask how you?re coping with the violence.

Because there are no foreigners traversing the streets, traffic is noticeably better. This is particularly so on Fridays,?when most of the city sleeps in and goes to the mosque, and businesses are closed anyway.?

As I?ve learned in the 18 months that I?ve lived here, Kabul is no stranger to protests. The vast majority are peaceful. The crowds, ranging from dozens to a few hundred, are generally exercising their post-Taliban era right to assemble and demanding that this or that corrupt politician or governor be removed from office.

The demonstrations generally follow a fairly formulaic path: Protestors march down to this embassy, that military base, those mammoth international organizations. And the war correspondents who show up, looking for signs of conflict to report on, complain about the traffic and head home.?

Given the frequency of these lockdowns ? every time there is an assassination, explosion or protest, or often even the threat of one ? an entire catering industry has formed to attend to the needs of those locked down expats stuck in their houses, bored, and flush with cash.

And if you try to walk across the street to buy some oven fresh bread, your compound Kalashnikov-toting guards will not only deny you exit, they?ll thoroughly reprimand you, though they themselves will just switch their clothes at the end of their shift and walk home, disappearing into the city without a care in the world.?

In the end, this is all part of living in a city on the edge of a warzone.

Lifestyle can prevent breast cancer | Brain and Head Health

Put down the alcohol and get up and exercise to shed those extra pounds.

If women lived a healthier lifestyle, about 20,000 cases of breast cancer could be prevented annually according to new figures from World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF).

Scientists looked at 47,600 new cases of breast cancer reported in the UK in 2008.

They say about 42 percent, roughly 20,000 cases, could have been prevented through healthier lifestyle choices.

Dr Rachel Thompson, Deputy Head of Science at WCRF, says?There is convincing evidence that alcohol consumption increases the risk of breast cancer. In postmenopausal women there is convincing evidence that body fatness also increases risk and there is evidence that regular physical activity probably reduces the risk of breast cancer.?

WCRF recommends being physically active for at least 30 minutes a day and? limiting alcoholic drinks to two a day for men and one a day for women.



A healthy weight is defined as a Body Mass Index between 18.5 and 25.
The preventability estimates come from the Preventability of Cancer by Food, Nutrition, and Physical Activity, a paper published in WCRF report.? Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention. Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective, was launched in November 2007 and is the most comprehensive report ever published on the link between cancer and lifestyle. For more information, visit www.dietandcancerreport.org
In the US, about 1 in 8 women, 12%, will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. In 2010, an estimated 207,090 new cases of invasive breast cancer?were expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 54,010 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer, according to BreastCancer.org.

Additional Resources:

World Cancer Research Fund believes about a third of cancers could be prevented through changes to lifestyle. For more information on the charity?s work, visit www.wcrf-uk.org

Alabama and Fremont Nebraska Illegal Immigration Laws Receive ...

Alabama and Fremont Nebraska Illegal Immigration Laws Receive National Support From ALIPAC.

(For National Release) Raleigh, NC, USA ? February 22, 2012 ? Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is offering national support to the backers of Alabama?s new illegal immigration control legislation as well as the 75% of Fremont Nebraska?s municipal ordinance that was cleared by the courts this week.

ALIPAC?s extensive national activist network is now deployed sharing the news with state lawmakers across America that Alabama?s unemployment rate has dropped quickly in response to the peaceful departure of illegal immigrants in response to state level immigration law enforcement.

ALIPAC activists are busy rallying city and town council members nationwide to implement laws similar to Fremont Nebraska ordinance. Recent court rulings have cleared the way for towns like Farmers Branch Texas, Hazleton Pennsylvania and many others to do just that.

?We need American defenders fighting on every level right now!? said William Gheen President of ALIPAC. ?We are fighting against the illegal immigration invasion of America in our towns, in our states, in Washington, DC and in the campaigns and elections. Americans need every job and every taxpayer resource we can reclaim from illegal aliens.?

ALIPAC activists are delivering an article written by Neil Munro published in the Daily Caller on February 20, 2012 to state lawmakers in all 50 states titled ?Alabama?s immigration reform again cuts unemployment?.

?In the last three months alone, we?ve seen an unprecedented drop of 1.7 percentage points,? noted Alabama Republican Gov. Robert Bentley in a Jan. 20 statement. The drop began after a bipartisan 2011 law toughened the state?s immigration enforcement policies. The reform prompted many low-skilled illegal immigrants to leave the state, and was slammed by advocates for illegal immigrants, including Tom Perez, the chief of the Justice Department?s civil regulation division.

?We expect the illegal aliens to leave any state or town where they hear local Americans will be enforcing the popularly supported immigration laws duly passed by our constitutionally empowered Congress,? said William Gheen. ?Our activists are taking steps to make sure every state and town lawmaker knows it is incumbent upon them to protect American citizens from the dire consequences of invasion when the federal government fails in its most basic responsibility to enforce Article 4 of the US Constitution.?

To schedule interviews or for more information about ALIPAC?s efforts to spread versions of Arizona?s and Alabama?s illegal immigration laws to other states, or activist efforts to spread Fremont Nebraska?s court authorized city ordinance to other towns, please visit http://www.ALIPAC.us.

Recreation Head: Lights at EPCAL &#39;Not Gonna Happen&#39; for Now ...

After Recreation Superintendent Ray Coyne made a pitch to the town board last week to get lights on new ballfields in Calverton, he said on Wednesday afternoon that the field will be opening without them.

"It's not gonna happen," he said.

At last Thursday's town board work session, the board appeared split over bonding roughly $800,000 to install lights at new fields at Enterprise Park at Calverton, on Route 25.

While Councilman Jim Wooten said going without lights would be "like moving into a house with no furniture" - and Councilman John Dunleavy agreed - Supervisor Sean Walter called the measure irresponsible to the town's credit rating, with Councilman George Gabrielsen on his side.

"We run the risk of a credit downgrade if we keep spending money we don't have," Walter said last week. Walter referred back to a Moody's credit affirmation the town received in November, as the town maintained its Aa2 rating. The supervisor has cited the rating, allowing the town to continue borrowing at relatively low rates (3.5 percent now, he said), as one of his main accomplishments during his tenure at town hall.

The supervisor, and Financial Administrator Bill Rothaar, said that conversations with credit rating agents during their fall meetings indicated that any future borrowing could adversely affect the town's rating, both said.

Coucilwoman Jodi Giglio appeared at first to favor bonding for the lights, calling the lit fields a marketing draw for sports teams. However in the end the math wasn't convincing enough.

Giglio said on Tuesday night that she wanted to see more - and more promising - numbers from Coyne confirming the revenue the town could realize if lights were added to the park.?Gabrielsen, the town board's liaison to the Recreation Committee, said the town would kick into an "aggressive fundraising mode" in reaching out to leagues to fill the fields this summer and beyond.

"Once I see contracts - we know we have teams who want to play - I know the rest of the board will be excited as I will be," she said.

Coyne said he fears that installing lights at a later date will not only present a missed opportunity to the town until they are installed, but also bear a future cost, since cranes will have to be brought onto the field to install the light poles, potentially damaging the walkways and fields. Gabrielsen said he didn't foresee a future problem.

The town still plans on paving walkways, 200 spaces in parking lots, install dugouts, and new fencing along Route 25 before the fields open. Wednesday night it votes to publish and post a bid for parking lot work.

While Gabrielsen said he'd like to see the fields open by Memorial Day weekend, Coyne said they may not open until mid-June.

Marriage Questions ? Discover ways to Ask Your Boyfriend Those ...

Becoming really serious can easily scare people away not only your man. That?s why marriage questions should be handled with caution. If your going to question about marriage to your partner, get it done in a non-threatening approach. Don?t do it when you are hankering for any proposal. Finding out if you and your other half are in the same position, relationship wise.

First of all, let?s consider why you should be asking your guy marriage questions. Compatibility is the most important reason? if your thinking if your thinking way or reason. You are able to think that he wants to got married and relax buy you may be wrong. Inversely, you could be the one who is in opposition to marriage while your guy is the one who really wants to subside right away.

If you find yourself asking the questions you have, be direct, but don?t be threatening. Don?t put him into a corner. Set a bad well too. Sometimes you say ?Hey, I believe we?ve reached that point in our relationship where we?d be talking about the future?.Reassure him that its okay if he doesn?t want to talk about this as of this very moment. However, you have to make him understand that you would like to take it up again at some future time. You will also need to reassure your guy that you are not looking to get married yet. Simply tell him this talk is much more about learning if you would like the same things instead of about obtaining a proposal.

As he is ready to talk, ask him what he wants. Begin with the basic ones. Ask him if he sees himself getting married. Talk about when or at what age he plans to do this. You need to talk about if he?s any prerequisites before choosing to got married or possibly he wants a house and that he really wants to reach a certain pay grade first. If he does want to get married, ask him if he really wants to have kids, as he really wants to have kids, and how many kids he?d like to have. You should consider asking him where he desires to settle down.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you find yourself discussing these topics the very first time, it?s recommended that you keep your plans separate. Do not go into future mode with him yet. Don?t name your children. You don?t know if he is the person you?ll be having children with. Don?t get his way together with his plans either. In case your partner say he wants to have pets, don?t say something like you never like it.Don?t plan anything yet, you?ll still don?t know in case your future happiness in marriage lies together with your boyfriend.

You will also wish to share your hopes and dreams for future. It?ll be great practice for marriage communication.?
