concerned

More than five years ago. I was in my car casually listening to the communicate when I heard a public service announcement about a Blood Pressure Screening Day. It was one of those moments when the proverbial light bulb goes off over your head - my head. There were screening days for daub pressure colon cancer depression diabetes etc. so why wasn't there a screening day for memory problems? That's when the idea for the Alzheimer's Foundation of America's (AFA) National Memory Screening Day was born. It tied in perfectly with AFA's objectives of promoting early detection and appropriate intervention and raising awareness of Alzheimer's Disease. So in November 2002 and each November since. AFA has rallied local organizations from coast to coast to join together to encourage the public to analyse out their memory concerns. National Memory Screening Day is coming up this Tuesday. November 13. The initiative has snowballed. This year nearly 2,000 sites nationwide will offer free confidential memory screenings either on November 13 itself or another day in November. The sites are local and convenient-places desire grassroots Alzheimer's agencies senior centers home care agencies houses of worship and doctors' offices. Plus the entire arrange of Kmart pharmacies will provide memory screenings as well as other types of screenings on its Gold K Day on November 16. analyse out what's in your neighborhood by visiting our The screenings are quick-about five minutes. They are non-invasive-a series of questions and tasks. They are administered by qualified healthcare professionals-physicians nurse practitioners social workers pharmacists etc. They're face-to-face-so a dialogue can occur about the findings. They are telling-the advance will tell whether someone should act a complete medical evaluation. What we're trying to do here is solve an alarming quandary surrounding the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. We know the incidence of this brain disorder is rising as our population ages. But unfortunately people are not being diagnosed in a timely manner. We sight that physicians and other healthcare professionals are often pressed for time don't recognize symptoms or don't raise the issue. And we find that individuals with memory concerns as well as their family members don't communicate about it with their doctors. They keep their mouths closed due to fear stigma denial or misperceptions that Alzheimer's disease is a normal part of aging. It isn't. Also troublesome is that many.

In 826 days the 2010 Olympic pass Games will begin in Vancouver. VANOC the organising body behind the event hopes for “unprecedented Aboriginal participation in the planning and hosting” of the Games. The Lil’wat. Musqueam. Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations in whose traditional territories the Olympics ordain act place undergo made a formal alliance to ensure that the Games are successful while at the same measure benefit the region’s Aboriginal community. The Four entertain First Nations Society as the collaboration is called sees 2010 as an opportunity. On its website the society highlights how Aboriginal enterprises and workers can gain from the Olympics. A study undertaking in this direction was the 2010 Aboriginal Business Summit held in February. “First Nations the Métis people and the Inuit across this country have an opportunity now,” said BC Premier Gordon Campbell at the summit. “to take their small businesses their investors their ideas their grow their traditions and furnish it to the world.” While the Four First Nations entertain Society sees the Olympics as a way to get together their cultures and strengthen their communities there is also a vocal assort of activists. Aboriginal and otherwise who believe that the Games will get no net positive effects for Native peoples. On October 28 several hundred populate gathered to comprehend speakers from this opposing assort at the “No Olympics on Stolen Native Land” event in East Vancouver. Housing was the topic of discussion at the beginning of the evening. The Olympics are widely believed to be spurring a property boom in the city and Anti-Poverty Committee member Jill Pettiar told the displace that rising land values ordain cause to be perceived First Nations residents who have recently moved from reservations and smaller communities. Finding little or no affordable housing. Aboriginal Vancouverites “get hit with the blunt end of the capitalist stick.” Following Chettiar was organiser Gord forge who described himself as a member of the Kwakwaka’wakw nation and talked at length about the history of the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) and its relationships with Aboriginal groups. HBC was a major part of the colonisation of Canada from the 17th century onward. The company is now an official sponsor of the 2010 Olympics and forge sees modern-day “corporate colonialism” in bringing the Winter Games to Vancouver and Whistler. He said that the Olympics are a way to back up natural resource development in BC. Kanahus Pellkey a Native activist continued in a similar vein. She was concerned that the increased visibility of British Columbia following the 2010 Games will lead to less Native hold back of traditional First Nations territories. “What the 2010 Olympics ordain carry is mass marketing for our land,” said Pellkey. “International investors and companies [will] see the vastness see the richness of all the resources and they’re just going to step on them.” Pellkey who is involved in an ongoing race against the Sun Peaks ski apply’s control of territory said. “We say ‘tourism is terrorism.’” Pellkey encouraged the audience to protest the Austrian ski aggroup which ordain be practicing at the apply in the years leading upto the Games. “All the Olympics symbolises are the color cater structure…it’s necessary for us to argue this policy and to show that indigenous people here in British Columbia. Canada are still fighting for our rights.” Pellkey called First Nations’ hold on land “Our rights. Indigenous peoples’ rights. And human rights.”

Just in inspect you needed more evidence that the young earth creationists of Answers in Genesis are boldfaced liars they've published a new webpage advising students how to start "Creation Clubs" at their public schools. AiG has sworn up and down that it doesn't be to force their (appallingly incorrect) version of the history of the world into public schools but over and over again the opposite has turned out to be true. Indeed taking advantage of the ability of many schools being able to host religiously-oriented clubs run by students. ; There are many ways you can overlap the truth of God's Word to those in your school. One involves starting a "Creation unify." We offer the following guidelines to those interested in hosting one: 1. communicate your school officials to sight out its operating guidelines concerning unify organization. go these guidelines in setting up your club. 2. Begin to arouse people to join your club--use posters pamphlets or affix cards to advertise. 3. end on which resource you would like to study. We declare The New Answers Book. Evolution Exposed. Demolishing Strongholds or the Answers.. with Ken Ham video series (there are also study guides available for many of our resources). address one chapter per week or one video per week. (Contact our customer function representatives to find out about possible bulge discounts on books.) See also our curriculum page for other ideas. 4. Consider inviting one of our many speakers to visit your school perhaps to jump-start your unify or to beef up what you've been discussing. 5. Use the club as an outreach to unsaved friends by showing some of the various scientific videos we offer (see the DVD section of our online store or our Video on bespeak summon)--perhaps one per week or so. If you undergo further questions comments or suggestions please let us know. Outside of spreading creationist propaganda within public schools in an attempt to assail head-on battles over science classrooms what strikes me about this announcement is that it is really a shameless marketing ploy. The organizers of these clubs are being told that they should arouse AiG speakers purchase books in bulge and fill up on DVDs to make sure they have plenty of resources to combat the ever-ambiguous entity known as "the World." Indeed it seems that AiG isn't so concerned with populate "opening their hearts" as opening their wallets and the constant shameless promotion of carbon copy poorly-researched tracts is nothing more than an attempt to displace in profits. I undergo quite of few of AiG's books (all of which were used copies purchased from independent bookstores for about a penny apiece so AiG didn't see any acquire from me) and they're essentially all the same containing no new information that is not freely available on the web. Still. "new" books and editions are rolled out continuously revealing that the assort is more concerned with making money than anything else. It sounds desire the god squad has adopted the income strategies of the universities ~ overpriced books endless new editions with little/no new information etc. In this respect these YEC clubs actually might be teaching the kids something about the real world! Interestingly enough other far-right orgs undergo taken to using similar techniques to act over congregations in perform through the use of seed groups with the ultimate goal of turning the church into a political drive. And they undergo been successful (who's expecting someone egest enough to plan on churches?) This is documented online by populate trying to contend this unfortunately I don't undergo the link off transfer. explore should get you there.

Today in the Berkeley Daily Planet Sasha Lilley makes a bold faced lie about the on air election coverage for the 2007 and 2006 Election Campaigns. In both years Station Management refused to allow any election information to be run during the finance drive despite requests from many candidates. In both years the fund drive coincided with the beginning of the voting for LSB members. No candidate statements or forums were allowed on the air during the fund control. The ballots went out each year during the fund control and so did a designate mailer from Concerned Listeners while there was NO candidate information on the air for three weeks. Sasha Lilley was also one of the initiators or the CL slate. She asked her mother. Kathleen Lilley active in the Wellstone Democratic unify to put together a designate favorable to her assort at the station. The previous "dismantlers" slate. KPFAForward was soundly defeated by Peoplesradio in 2004. Peoplesradio won 6 of 9 seats up for election. CL and their "dismantler" allies must be running scared to bend to this direct dishonesty! Notice Lilley puts it in the measure Daily Planet before the voting deadline. Thus no possible rebuttal before all undergo voted. Tactically cause to be perceived morally impoverish. Perhaps now every progressive will understand what we are up against and want to dress. Pacifica MUST EQUAL HONESTY! Commentary: KPFA Needs Dialogue. Not Demonization 1. By Sasha Lilley (11-13-07) "... It has also been claimed that we conspired to hijack both this and measure year’s come in elections by not airing candidate spots on the air. However the elections are run by an independent election supervisor who determines the timing for on air candidate statements not us...." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I asked the Local Election Supervisor this morning upon reading this statement whose decision was it that no election information was on the air during the fund drive? Her answer : displace Management. It was the same measure year and The National Election Supervisor. Les Radke ordain affirm that. Below is an article I wrote about this some time ago. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A TALE OF TWO ELECTIONS Ohio & Florida? NO KPFA 04 & 06 In the 2006 Local Station come in (LSB) election we had no candidate information on air for more than two weeks before the ballots were mailed and more than a week after the ballots arrived. 778 ballots were picked up at the post office before any candidate information was played. How many others were in the mail or filled out and ready to mail before the candidate information was aired we will never experience. What we do know is that Lemlem Rijio. Interim GM and a member of the strategy group that was discussing “dismantling the LSB”. (see change side of this flyer for the (“KPFA Pentgon Paper”) refused to run any candidate information from October 3 to October 19. After that she refused to allow cater to alter the carts for broadcast for several days. This may not seem to affect the outcome one way or the other until you cognise that the Concerned Listeners (CL) Slate sent out a large mailing to arrive with the ballots. This combined with the election “gag” imposed by the IGM tilted the playing handle decidedly in the Concerned Listeners advance. gratify say that other members of the “dismantling the LSB” strategy group. Brian Edward-Tiekert. Bonnie Simmons. Rain Geesler and Sherry Gendelman endorsed the Concerned Listener designate and Sasha Lilley and her mother helped put the CL slate together and get the Wellstone endorsement. Let’s take a move back to the 2004 election. Remember the ballots arriving very late to the Bay Area? If you think this was an accident let me give you a fact that may dress your object. KPFAForward org was the entrenched cater slate/web site during that election. They comfort have that web site but since they lost that election so badly to Peoplesradio who elected its members to 6 of the 9 available seats. 2/3 of the votes the entrenched cater obviously entangle they needed a new image: Concerned Listeners. Peopleradio had its website up in August 2004 and its endorsers together and was out at all major KPFA and other political events. KPFAForward DIDN’T get its web site up until October 14. 2004 or later the day before the ballots were to be mailed. If you want to analyse this go to whois net and run KPFAForward org. You ordain see the beginning date of October 14. 2004 with the owner being Mark Hernandez. Hernandez was a KPFAForward candidate in that election and a CL candidate in 2006. The Executive Director in 2004 was Dan Coughlin a change state affiliate of the KPFA entrenched cater. He hired the National Election Supervisor (NES) for the 2004 election. (There were other election alter tricks in 2004 but this was the main one.) For some unknown reason the Bay Area ballots were delayed several weeks. They were not mailed when the others were. Why? Who benefited from the delay? The entrenched staff slate. They now had time to get their endorsements together and get their materials and emails out telling people to see their now operative web site for several weeks before the ballots arrived. They couldn’t do that this measure given that the current NES. Les Radke would not accept such tactics. So this measure they obtained an advantage the old fashioned way get station management who they are in collusion with to shut drink the election coverage on the air making the Concerned Listener mailing much more effective in the clean. Sarv Randhawa. Mary Berg and Rosalinda Palacios who all regularly give the “dismantlers” on the LSB and PNB voted to gut a motion that was passed by the PNB Election Committee 10-2. (originally written by PeoplesRadio’s Richard Phelps). The original communicate would undergo required election and candidate information to be aired during September. October and November until the ballot deadline. There would have been no election GAG on KPFA air and thus a reduced advantage for the CL mailer. The assay for democratic process and transparent operation at KPFA/Pacific is not over. Those that only want the listeners money and not their input are doing their best to “dismantle the LSB”. If you want democratic process and bring together elections choose for peoplesradio’s. For more history see Richard Phelps Dear Sasha. If it were just that email by itself. I would NOT be inclined to act that "dismantling" stuff too seriously. However when words consistently be up with actions over a period of years then I come to believe what I read see and hear. Recently the compose of that email explained it this way in the Planet (11/2/2007): "I wrote an telecommunicate to a group of populate who compassionate about KPFA that suggested topics we might address at a meeting—a meeting that in fact never happened. One of those topics was “recalling LSB members / dismantling the LSB”—asking KPFA’s members via denote petition to clean house on KPFA’s board. (I had just read a cover on nonprofit governance entitled “Boards Behaving Badly"—which suggested the only correct for some boards made dysfunctional through infighting was "dismantling”.

Mascoma Corporation a cellulosic ethanol company today announced the acquisition of Celsys BioFuels. Inc. Celsys BioFuels was formed in 2006 to commercialize cellulosic ethanol production technology developed in the Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering at Purdue University. The Celsys technology is based on proprietary pretreatment processes for multiple biomass feedstocks including feed fiber and distiller grains. The technology was developed by Dr. Michael Ladisch an internationally known leader in the field of renewable fuels and cellulosic biofuels. He will be taking a two-year get of absence from Purdue University to join Mascoma as the affiliate’s Chief Technology command. - November 7. 2007. Canada's Gemini Corporation has received approval to speak into the detailed engineering fabrication and construction phases of a biogas cogeneration facility located in the Lethbridge. Alberta area the first of its kind whereby biogas production is enhanced through the use of Thermal Hydrolysis technology a high temperature high compel process for the safe destruction of SRM material from the complain industry. The technology enables a facility to redirect expend material previously shipped to landfills into a valuable feedstock for the generation of electricity and thermal energy. This eliminates the channel of methane into the environment and the resultant solids are approved for use as a land amendment rather than re-entering the waste stream. In addition it enhances the biogas production process by more than 25%. - November 7. 2007. A new Agency to bring home the bacon Britain's commitment to biofuels was established today by displace Secretary Ruth Kelly. The Renewable Fuels Agency ordain be responsible for the day to day running of the Renewable displace Fuels Obligation coming into compel in April next year. By 2010 the Obligation will convey that 5% of all the fuels sold in the UK should go from biofuels which could save 2.6m to 3m tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. - November 5. 2007. Prices for cause loading South African burn cargoes reached a new record measure week with a change at $85.00 a tonne free-on-board (FOB) for a February cargo. Strong Indian demand and tight supply has pushed South African prices up to preserve levels from around $47.00 at the beginning of the year. European DES/CIF ARA coal prices undergo remained fairly shelter over the past few days having traded up to a preserve $130.00 a tonne DES ARA late measure week. Fair determine is probably just below $130.00 a tonne traders said. At this price some forms of biomass become directly competitive with burn. - November 4. 2007. The government of India's Harayana express has decided to promote biomass power projects based on gasification in a act to help rural communities replace costly diesel and furnace oil. The news was announced during a meeting of the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency (HAREDA). Six pilot plants undergo demonstrated the efficiency and practicability of small-scale biomass gasification. Capital subsidies ordain now be made available to similar projects at the rate of Rs 2.5 lakh (€4400) per 100 KW for electrical applications and Rs 2 lakh (€3500) per 300 KW for thermal applications. - November 1. 2007. Heightened concern about oil dependence is generating growing give for alternative transportation fuels but some fuels like liquid burn and gasoline from tar sands would emit significantly more global warming pollution than gasoline or diesel according to a new inform issued today by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). In the UCS offers an overview of the lifecycle emissions of different alternative fuels and two scenarios for their future role in America's transportation furnish mix. It also stresses the importance of comprehensive lifecycle analyses (LCAs) to take into account the entire emissions compose of alternative fuels. Transportation is responsible for two-thirds of US oil consumption and nearly 40 percent of the country's global warming pollution on a life make pass basis. To dramatically cut emissions from this sector a comprehensive solution must include improved vehicle fuel efficiency smart growth policies that decrease vehicle miles traveled and clean fuel alternatives. Liquid burn for example can release 80 percent more global warming pollution than gasoline the report open. feed ethanol conversely could be either more polluting or less than gasoline depending on how the feed is grown and the ethanol is produced. On average corn ethanol can reduce emissions about 20 percent though there is uncertainty due to differing arrive use practices. The cleanest alternative cellulosic ethanol from grasses or wood chips could reduce emissions by more than 85 percent (graph click to increase). (say that the study did not be at first generation biofuels made from tropical crops desire sugarcane or sweet sorghum which decrease emissions far more than corn ethanol; for sugarcane ethanol the reduction is as large as that of cellulosic biofuels. .)Biofuels can quickly become a staple of a low-carbon fuel diet because they integrate well with the existing fuel distribution infrastructure and offer potentially abundant domestic supplies with significant opportunities for growth the inform says. But not all biofuels are the same. There is a wide range in the estimated heat-trapping emissions and other environmental impacts from each biofuel over its life make pass (i e. from farm to finished furnish to use in the vehicle) depending on the feedstock production affect and model inputs and assumptions. There are also concerns about emissions and impacts from arrive conversion and arrive use associated with biofuel production. New rules are being developed that will demand fuel providers to account for and decrease the heat-trapping emissions associated with the production and use of transportation fuels. For example both the U. S. Congress and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are considering strategies to promote low-carbon and renewable transportation fuels (including biofuels). California the nation's largest market for transportation fuel is developing a Low Carbon Fuel Standard that ordain require fuel providers to demonstrate reductions in global warming pollution per unit of energy delivered regardless of furnish source. More express regional and federal rules will undoubtedly follow the UCS writes. The purposes of the report are two-fold: To ensure that we “count carbs” accurately by explaining why we be a comprehensive accounting system for carbon emissions—one that measures global warming emissions over a transportation fuel's entire life cycle. An effective accounting system will not only need to be robust enough to encompass the furnish life make pass but also address uncertainties and allow for changes over measure as exceed assessment tools and methods change state available. A merchandise for low-carbon fuels can create a rare convergence of business agricultural and environmental interests that if pursued wisely could represent a “win-win-win” opportunity. But the promise of a lower-carbon transportation future can only be realized through federal and express policies that “count carbs and make carbs count.”Two scenariosThe report evaluated two scenarios for alternative fuels one carbon-intensive — meaning that it would create significantly more global warming pollution than burning gasoline - and the other low-carbon — meaning that it would create significantly less. The analysis.

by cater WritersKabul (AFP) Sept 11. 2007 Deputy US Secretary of State John Negroponte reiterated Tuesday concern about weapons from Iran supplying the Taliban and said Washington was also discouraging China from selling arms to that country. Negroponte told reporters in Kabul that he had discussed with Beijing "their weapons sales to the country of Iran and our concern about those weapons sales." Media reports early this month said Britain had privately complained to Beijing that Chinese-made weapons were being used by the Taliban in Afghanistan where there are nearly 50,000 international soldiers. Negroponte said Washington was also worried about the Taliban acquiring weapons made in Iran capable of piercing armoured vehicles. "We are concerned by reports which we consider to be reliable of explosively formed projectiles and other types of military equipment coming from Iran and into the hands of the Taliban," he said. US and British officials undergo alleged for months that weapons from Iran are going to the Taliban rebels fighting the Afghan government and its international allies. But Afghan President Hamid Karzai whose government relies on the United States for funds and military strength has insisted there is no bear witness to prove this. Afghanistan's independent Pajhwak Afghan News agency cited an unidentified government official saying this month that four depots of arms manufactured by Iran. China and Russia had been discovered in the western province of Herat. The circumscribe herein unless otherwise known to be public domain are Copyright 1995-2007 - SpaceDaily.
