What some of you may not know is that for the next two years I will be volunteering to teach with the Christian Brothers in schools in poor neighborhoods. The program offers many phenomenal opportunities, such as being able to live in a prayerful community with experienced teachers, travel the country, teach children who want to learn, and prepare for a Masters Degree. I have been extremely fortunate throughout my life to be around loving and caring people, both friends and family, and have been given many opportunities that others were not afforded. It is because of these people that I know the Lasallian Volunteer program is the exactly what I should be doing with my life.

That is without proper security software on their home pcs. Some ISPs give to you free. Note: that one can use "purposed" emails to detect phish, spam, or phrobes. So for example, for it to be a valid UPS message to the 'reinke dot cc' it would have to come addressed to "UPSXXXXYYYY at reinke dot c c" where XXXX and YYYY are super secret codes. On XP, Outlook rules, and, on my mac, mac smart rule, would filter the message into a dedicated mailbox for UPS. I have about 100 of these setup. The value is that any bad stuff comes in and might as well smell like a dead fish. SO, why would a message from my bank be anywhere but in my Bank's dedicated folder.

From: Jim Morgan 57B *** begin quote *** The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) says that if you are 75 years or older, you are too old (at an age of “competing causes of death”) to have prostate cancer screening. In the August 5, 2008 Issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, they recommend that doctors do not screen such patients or those who have a life expectancy of 10 years or less (the time required to experience a “mortality” benefit). Their technical reason is that the psychological impact of false-positive test results could be harmful. In addition, elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening tests could lead to the discomfort of a prostate biopsy, which in turn could lead to treatments that could cause more harm than good. As a 76-year-old recent prostate cancer survivor, I can’t agree with them. Shouldn’t everyone have the same opportunity I had to use all available medical procedures? Or, is this perhaps a not so subtle example of the allocation of resources? Has “someone” concluded it is a waste of Medicare money not only to treat those over 75 with prostate cancer, but also to even bother testing them to see if they have it? The good news is, if you are 75 or older, you don’t have to pay any attention to Prostate Cancer Awareness month in September. *** end quote *** [JR: Welcome to the world of Socialism and Socialized Medicine!

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/20/sports/olympics/ Sports of The Times ***Begin Quote*** {Extraneous Deleted} As it happens, Coe has found a kindred soul in Doug Logan, the new head of USA Track & Field. Logan, the first commissioner of Major League Soccer, has called on President Bush to not commute the six-month sentence of Marion Jones, who is jailed for lying in connection with the Balco scandal and who has lost her Olympic medals because she used performance-enhancing drugs. “Nobody will succeed if drugs
continue to be the first or second or third question,” “Track and field kept ambling down the road while all those Ferraris passed them,” he said. “The N.F.L.; what David Stern did with basketball; Mark McCormack, a genius, built golf on a new business model; Donald Dell and others in tennis; the France family with Nascar.” Born in Now, he said, “We’ve got to blow it up and start all over.” He lamented the Balkanized calendar that had American athletes qualifying in the trials in June but then there was “a five-week hiatus, with four or five European meets, with our kids flying all over the place.” As a result, he said, many performances are down from their peak in June. The sport could be “a marketer’s
dream,” He concluded: “U.S.A.T.F. has to
be the promoter of the last resort. We have to cajole people out of their
narrow point of view.” As a former rock promoter, On May 31, Bolt set a world record of 9.72 at that stadium, and the other night he dropped it to 9.69 while thumping his chest. Bolt has galvanized the Bird’s Nest. With new leadership, maybe Bolt and his Jamaican running mates could make the “granddaddy of them all” relevant more than once every four years. ***End Quote*** # # # # # * Posted on: Wed, Aug 20 2008 8:06 PM |

(August 19, 2008) – On Saturday, Nov. 8, one year after the disappearance of 24-year-old Charlotte native and Elon University graduate Kyle Fleischmann, Kyle’s family, friends and The Kyle Fleischmann Foundation (KFF) will hold a charity golf tournament and banquet dinner at Ballantyne Resort in Charlotte. The tournament’s shotgun start will be at 1:00 p.m. at the Golf Club at Ballantyne Resort and the banquet will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Ballantyne Resort Pavilion. Funds raised will benefit The Kyle Fleischmann Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to raise awareness and provide educational tools for families of missing adults. According to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, in January 2007 there were more than 50,000 missing adults in
the KFF is seeking 100 participants for the inaugural golf tournament and multiple corporate sponsors for the golf tournament and banquet dinner. Participation in the golf event is $125 per golfer or $400 for a foursome. Banquet dinner tickets will be around $50 per person. Sponsorships are available at $1,200 for each hole; $1,500 to sponsor the putting contest; $5,000 to be the tournament sponsor; and $4,000 to sponsor the banquet. “As we sadly approach the one-year anniversary of Kyle’s disappearance, we feel it is important to not only remember Kyle, but also to give back to the community as Kyle did in his life,” said Bryan Padgette, friend and board member of KFF. “The foundation we have created in Kyle’s memory will help others find direction and answers through a very difficult and emotional time.” The Kyle Fleischmann Foundation is in the process of launching its Web site (www.thekff.org) and creating materials that will highlight statistics on missing persons, spotlight existing missing adult cases and offer safety tips and steps to take for families searching for a loved one that is missing. The Web site also will offer the option of making donations to KFF online. In the future, KFF hopes to provide educational grants to undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students who wish to pursue a career in the not-for-profit sector focusing on missing persons. As the organization grows, opportunities for internships may also become available.
