      An Army of Volunteers
      Day 9There are pundits who say that Barack Obama has set a new standard in how to run a campaign, and it'll be the one copied in future Presidential elections. They may be right that he's set a new standard, but I don't believe it can be easily copied. Whether it's the gravitas that he has brought to the difficult issues America faces, or the charisma and energy he's shown in his stump speeches, B

      2009 Honda FCX Clarity Preparations - Honda is contacting volunteers in California to lease its Clarity fuel-cell vehicle
      Honda is ramping up for production of its FCX Clarity, the industry’s first dedicated fuel-cell vehicle for customer use. The automaker will begin assembly in May in Tochigi, Japan, and will build a small pool of vehicles available for lease in the U.S. this summer. A still-secret number of consumers will be able to lease a Clarity fuel-cell vehicle for $600 a month for three years, which will include maintenance and insurance. The lessee must pay for the hydrogen, which costs about $5 per kilogram in compressed-gas form. The Clarity’s fuel tank will hold about five kilograms. That amount is good for a range of about 270 miles, giving the Clarity fuel economy equivalent to 68 mpg, or about two times the efficiency of a conventional gasoline engine, says Steve Ellis, manager of FCV mark

When they are not in water they can be found in fields, woodlands, gardens and under hedgerows in fact anywhere you would expect to find their food supply of insects, slugs and worms.They are creatures of habit and after their nightly feed you will often find them in the same place, resting. They can be difficult to spot though as they can take on the colouring of the soil in their chosen habitat, allowing them to blend in really well.

      Volunteers look for improvement over bye week
      The University of Tennessee’s football team has certainly had a rough month of September. The schedule did not do Phil Fulmer’s young team any favors by having to face two of the Top 6 teams in America on the road. To many fans, it is not the fact that the team lost, because Cal and Florida are legitimate contenders, but how the losses occurred. Good special teams, ball security, and quality tackling are things that are paramount when you may not be as experienced or as talented as your foes. And this team has been putrid at all three through 4 games. The glimmer of hope for the Vol faithful is that things like these can be addressed during a bye week. Here are some suggested remedies for what is ailing the Vols right now: I certainly think that a few days of focused special teams, where the coaches get more team speed on the field in kick coverage and guys concentrate on staying in their lanes would benefit the team.

      Treatment of Vicarious Trauma in Volunteers
      The primary treatment for those volunteers who are experiencing vicarious traumatization is to temporarily have them refrain from the volunteer activities that precipitated the condition. It may be very difficult to help volunteers acknowledge that they are experiencing vicarious traumatization, but it’s essential that their supervisor and/or colleagues help them recognize what’s going on. If they continue to volunteer, their effectiveness will likely be compromised as will their future ability to help. Burnout is the inevitable outcome of unrelieved vicarious traumatization. Once volunteers have reached that point, they will be unable to be helpful and they greatly increase the risk to themselves of physical and/or emotional disorders. If vicarious traumatization is caught early, a brief break involving rest and recreation may be all that’s needed. If it has been allowed to progress, a longer period of recovery will likely be needed. During that time it will be impor

      Prevention of Vicarious Trauma in Volunteers
      Vicarious traumatization may be prevented by ensuring that volunteers have adequate training and ongoing supervision. Knowing ahead of time what to expect can help volunteers develop coping strategies before coming face-to-face with difficult situations. Being told that emotional reactions are to be expected and are normal can go a long way toward freeing up the volunteers to acknowledge what they are feeling and ask for help. If the volunteers are aware of the potential for developing vicarious traumatization and are educated about the signs and symptoms, they will be more likely to be willing to take a break from their volunteer activities to allow time for decompression and rest. The supervisors of volunteers have a huge responsibility for screening, training, and providing support on an ongoing basis. Regular group and/or individual meetings between the volunteers and their supervisors can provide for debriefings and evaluation of the volunteers’ state of emotional st

      Vicarious Trauma and Volunteers
      People who volunteer their time and talents to work with those who have experienced pain and loss may develop a traumatic response to what they have seen and heard. Called “vicarious traumatization” or “compassion fatigue,” the constellation of symptoms can include intrusive images and thoughts, hypervigilance, fear, numbing, difficulty sleeping, irritability, and depression. Some of the very qualities that motivate people to become volunteers may be the qualities that make it difficult for them to pace themselves or even allow themselves to recognize that they are becoming traumatized. A desire to help others can lead people to ignore physical fatigue or emotional exhaustion. Observing and hearing about the atrocities that exist in the world can lead to a spiritual crisis, a questioning of the world view that one had prior to becoming aware first-hand of the tragedies that some people experience. Some people may try to deal with these symptoms in unhealthy ways, s

      Any Volunteers? In Portland, Yes
      One of the great things about Portland is that the people here are active. They’re on their bikes, walking the dog, running, exercising, protesting, keeping “Portland weird.”And we didn’t need a study to point it out, but all of this activeness isn’t self-centered. In fact, Portland ranks sixth in the country for percentage of residents who volunteer. According to a federally funded report by the Corporation for National and Community Service (I must confess I’ve never heard of this group), 36% of Portland residents volunteer.The report says that four factors encourage high volunteer rates: attachment of a community (such as high levels of home ownership), low commute times to and from work, high education levels among the population and the presence of nonprofit organizations in a community.Here are the cities with the highest percentage of volunteers.1.

      Empowering young volunteers to tell their stories
      Youth Action Network believes that young people get a hard time in the press and we are dedicated to turning this around and getting them the positive press coverage they deserve! If you were to believe the media and programmes such as Skins and Shameless, then you might think that young people spend most of their time getting “wired” – binge drinking and taking drugs. We know that some young people are doing this, but there are more young people that don’t! Thousands of young people spend their time doing amazing things for the communities in which they live and we think more people should know about it!...

We were trying to get there in time for Nick's party, but we were a little bit too late. I was up bright and early on Saturday to greet the "hopefuls" and the dedicated volunteers from GenArt were already on duty. They were busy all weekend. Thanks girls!

Bigenho 28th Public Affairs Detachment http://www.centcom.mil/sites/uscentcom2/News%20Pictures/070207_feat2_med.jpg Photo: Air Force 1st Lt.

The foreign disclosure officer, Yokota Air Force Base, Japan, tries to visit the CMOC at least once a month. CAMP VICTORY, Iraq — In a place where violence can be part of everyday life, a smile can make a world of a difference. When humanitarian assistance is thrown in, combined with a desire to help others, lives can be changed for the better. Servicemembers and civilians here realize this, and spend their time helping and working with Iraqis at the Civil Military Operation Center. The center works closely with the Government of Iraq to help as many Iraqi citizens as possible. The CMOC opens every day to local Iraqis. Most

      Jakarta faces the worst floods since 2002, Tzu Chi volunteers provide immediate relief
      Three consecutive days of torrential rain have inundated several districts in Jakarta. Beginning 1 February, the non-stop rains have caused some of the worst flooding since 2002. The next day, volunteers of Taiwan Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation in Indonesia responded immediately and set up a Flood Relief Coordination Centre to assist evacuees. The volunteers split into three groups and went to three centers in Jakarta East, West and North to distribute food rations.

      Meachem Volunteers to Get Paid, Goes Pro Early
      News: Tennessee WR Robert Meachem is going pro and leaves the Volunteer Wide Receiving corp in shambles. Meachem is expected to be a late first or early second round pick.Fantasy College Impact: Owners have to be a bit surprised about Meachem's departure. Sure, he was the top receiver for the Vols, but he did not get the national pub like other underclassmen. Irregardless, the loss hurts as Meachem racked up a bunch of points and those points will be sorely missed. As for Tennessee, it seems as though the race is wide open for the WR corp next season. None of the returning WRs caught a TD pass last season, if that says anything about the team's prospects. Watch for 4-star recruit Ahmad Paige to make an impact right out of the gate.News via > The TennesseanPhoto via > The Netitor

      WTC Volunteers are sick
      (Posted by Patrick Sullivan Jr.) Living & Laughing with Chronic Illness points to a story about World Trade Center volunteers who arrived on the scene for rescue and clean-up are now "conclusively...chronically sick...because of their exposure to asbestos, pulverized concrete, mercury and toxins..."  (Emphasis mine.) I left the following comment: I heard about this story today on the radio.  I fear that New Orleans volunteers will/are having similar issues with mold toxicity, the consequences of which are only just beginning to be understood. Also, I find it interesting that mercury is specifically named in the list of toxins.  Asbestos makes sense, but how was there any sort of concentration of mercury in the building?  And juxtapose a report like this that specifically names mercury as a cause of chronic sickness against the FDA declaring that mercury in your mouth is safe.  MAKES NO SENSE!
