SHARE THOUGHTS ON

GADHAFIS DEATH

BIG RAPIDS News of the death of long-time Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafias sparked worldwide shockwaves asnalysts reflect on Gadhafis 42 years ashe countrys leader and speculate on whathe future now holds for Libya.is death was confirmed by interim Libyanrime Minister Mahmoud Jibril, who spoke

o reporters on Thursday in Tripoli, theapital and largest city of Libya.erris State University Political Sciencerofessors Donald Roy and Richard Griffinaid the death of Gadhafi opens the dooror other countries to aid Libyas future.I am fairly sure that most Libyans welcomeome sanity, normality whatever thats and stability in their daily lives,aid Roy who teaches classes in Worldovernments and International Politics,mong others. We must wish them well onhis unpredictable road of freedom, whichill require the renewal of political authoritynd order, on their terms of course.riffin joined Roy in wishing the best for

he Libyan people, but cautioned againstssumptions about the immediate or long-erm future of Libya and its citizens.Right now, its still a little early to jump toonclusions about where this is headed,e said. Gadhafi had some strong support

and his supporters are not simply going togo away in spite of what we believe hashappened. If you look at Iraq, SaddamHussein still has loyalists and he has beendead for some time now.Griffin added that world leaders, includingleaders from the U.S., could play asignificant role in how Libyas future playsout.Its an exciting time in a lot of ways, butit also is a dangerous time for Libya andthat region of the world, he said. While aot of people hold out hope for democracyto prevail in Libya, the tenuous nature ofthe situation could swing things positivelyor negatively. Libya could end up with anauthoritarian regime. At this point, we dontnow.Hopefully the U.S. can take a lead roles the region works toward peace andtability, added Griffin, who teaches aumber of courses at Ferris, including

International Organization. On the otherand, this is a movement, and we dont

exactly know where its going. We cantorce democracy on people.

HOW TO PREP A

FRUITFUL SCHOOL

SNACK

(NewsUSA) - A healthy diet is a necessityfor individuals of all ages, but gettingenough nutrients is especially important forschool-age children. Not only are childrenlearning and developing eating habits that

will follow them throughout their adult life,they also need the right kind of fuel to stayfocussed during the school day.

At times, children can be tricky. They maynot always agree to eat celery sticks andpeanut butter as a school-day snack.However, natural sugars, like those infruit, instead of processed and value-lesscandy and potato chips, can play a keyrole in getting children to snack healthily-- especially when they may be short ontime.

Fruit offers fiber and minerals to improveperformance in class, provide energy forsports and curb appetites. Encouraging

children to eat fruit as their snack may alsohelp reduce their risk for cardiovasculardiseases, high cholesterol, high bloodpressure and strokes later on in life.

Get creative during the school yearwith your afternoon snack preparations.One way to go is to stuff different fruitconcoctions in whole wheat tortilla wrapsto add a hearty twist to a sweet snack. Forexample, try this quick and easy Bananaand Raisin Wrap recipe from La TortillaFactory:

Banana and Raisin Wrap

1 La Tortilla Factory-100 Calorie Whole

Wheat Tortilla.

1 small banana, sliced.

2 tablespoons of raisins.

4 tablespoons of fat-free whipped creamcheese.

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder.

Directions:

Lay the wheat tortilla on a plate andspread the cream cheese very evenly.Layer banana slices along the center ofthe tortilla.

Sprinkle the raisins over the bananas, thensprinkle the cinnamon powder over thelayered fruit.

To wrap the tortilla, fold in each end. Thentake one side and roll away from your bodyin a tight jelly-roll manner. The end product

should be a tight roll oozing cream cheeseand bananas.

IPHONE APP HELPS

PARENTS STAY ONE STEP

AHEAD OF LICE

(NewsUSA) - Do you wish you could findout about outbreaks of head lice in yourneighborhood or school before your childcomes home scratching furiously?

Well, now theres an app for that. TheFacts of Lice is a free app now availableat the iTunes app store -- helping makelice prevention a little easier.

With 85 percent of school districts reportinglice, busy parents need to be informedabout outbreaks in their own communitiesas quickly as possible, says Risa Barash,founder of Fairy Tales Hair Care, a leaderin natural lice prevention products. TheFacts of Lice app allows parents to tracklice outbreaks in their own neighborhoodso theyll know when its time to increaseprevention efforts at home.

Since most of the 12 million cases of

head lice reported each year are found inpreschool and elementary school, the newiPhone app is perfect for the entire schoolyear.

The app provides parents with a thoroughdatabase of outbreak notifications, whichare tracked by state and zip code. Parentscan even report outbreaks and accessprevention and removal tips.

Preventing lice is far less challenging thangetting rid of them, especially with such auseful tool. In addition to paying attentionto local outbreaks, parents must teachtheir children the keys to lice prevention.Classrooms are the perfect environment to

help spread head lice. Remind your youngkids of the following preventive tips:

* Dont share hats, combs, pillows orhelmets. Lice can survive off a humanhead for up to 36 hours.

* Keep long hair braided or in a pony tail.If youre in contact with infected areas,its especially important to minimize allencounters.

* Dont wash your hair daily. Lice preferclean, non-oily hair. Washing your haironce every other day allows natural oils tocollect on the hair shaft. This makes yourhair healthier and harder for lice to attach

themselves.

* Use hair care infused with herbs such

as rosemary, citronella and tea tree -- eachhas been shown to help repel head lice.

GET OUT OF THE DARK

WITH ROUTINE EYE

EXAMS

(NewsUSA) - Every five seconds, someonegoes blind, but in 80 percent of the cases,the blindness is preventable. Blindnesfrom eye disease is often treatable, buonly if its noticed early through routine eyeexams.

To help prevent avoidable vision loss,EyeCare America, a public service

program of the Foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmologyis offering free eye exams by volunteeophthalmologists dedicated to a worthcause. Ophthalmologists are medicaldoctors who specialize in eye and visioncare, from glasses to complex surgeries.

More than 45 million people worldwide areblind, says Richard P. Mills, MD. In mancases, the most severe eye diseases offeno warning signs, until its too late andvision loss is irreversible. But regular eyeexams can help you catch problems early,while there is still time to treat conditionand prevent permanent loss of sight.

EyeCare America provides year-round eyeexams at no out-of-pocket cost to peopleage 65 and over. Eye exams are providedby a corps of nearly 7,000 EyeCareAmerica ophthalmologists across the U.S.and Puerto Rico.

People who are interested

in the program can visit www.eyecareamerica.org to see if they areeligible. The organizations online referralcenter also enables friends and familmembers to find out instantly if their lovedones are eligible to be matched with anophthalmologist.

While some eye diseases, such as cataracts,progress slowly and offer symptoms,serious eye problems, such as glaucoma,age-related macular degeneration (AMDand diabetic retinopathy, often offer feor no warning signs. They can be caughand treated in the early stages through amedical eye exam when preventive care istill possible. By the time these conditiondo begin to show symptoms, such ablurred vision or black spots across the fieldof vision, often vision loss is irreversible.

EyeCare America provides services tomedically under-served seniors and thoseat a high risk for eye disease. Since itinception, EyeCare America has helped

over 1.5 million people.

MAXIMIZE PROFITS FROM

YOUR RENTAL PROPERTY

(NewsUSA) - Managing a rental propertcan be an excellent source of income intodays economy.

A third of the nations households rent theiresidences, according to the 2010 U.S.Census Report, and that number rises ahigh as two-thirds in large metropolitanareas, such as New York and LoAngeles.

Given the steady demand for rentalhousing, its no wonder that individualare investing in real estate, but there are

00406558


6/24


several things property managers shouldknow if they hope to make a profit.

First, it is important that landlords screenall potential tenants to ensure they havereliable income and will pay bills ontime. Once you have secured tenants,

keeping them happy, while still runninga successful business, is your primarygoal. Maintaining a clear, written record ofany exchanges you have with tenants willmake it easy to track any problems.

Its also essential that all properties satisfybasic living conditions, such as adequateweatherproofing, and that they adhere tostate regulations for safe electrical wiringand ventilation. Landlords are requiredto arrange for necessary repairs. Itsgood to develop relationships with localcontractors, so tenants remain satisfied,and the property stays in top shape.

Property management is expensive, evenwith the supplemental income that rent

provides, and many property managerslose a substantial amount of money eachyear by not taking advantages of availabletax deductions. Insurance costs, repairsand independent contractor wages are allfully deductible but often go overlooked.

detailed record-keeping system isthe best way for landlords to track theirincome and expenses, but many simplydo not have the time.

One way to address this issue is tohire a bookkeeping firm to take overbookkeeping duties. On Call Accountants(www.oncallaccountants.com) isone such company that specializesin outsourced accounting, financialreporting and consulting for small andmid-sized businesses. By handing this

job over to the professionals, propertymanagers can maximize profits withminimal headaches. For more informationabout On Call Accountants, visit www.oncallaccountants.com.

INTERNET SAFETY 101: HOW TO

PROTECT YOUR KIDS ONLINE

(NewsUSA) - It is no mystery thattechnology allows kids to gain 24-houraccess to the media, but a recent studyby the Kaiser Foundation discovered theaverage kid spends 7.5 hours a day usingentertainment media. Through usingmultiple media at one time such as music,TV, movies, the Internet, video gamesand texting, kids can actually pack a totalof 10 hours and 45 minutes.

Although these ways of socializing andcommunicating can be enriching, they do

come with certain risks. Kids can becomevictims of online bullies, predators,hackers and scammers.

The Internet has great potential for kidsin terms of knowledge and resources,but we take seriously the job of teachingour youth how to navigate it safely andproperly, said Dan Rauzi, senior director,technology programs at Boys & GirlsClubs of America (BGCA).

BGCA has partnered with Sprint toaddress these issues and help betterprepare young people to navigate theirworld -- both real and virtual. Sprintsonline resource, www.4NetSafety.com,offers free tools from experts that address

the dangers that young people commonly

encounter online and encourages positivdialogue about Internet safety. In additionwww.myclubmylife.com -- BGCAs websitfor teens -- includes a special MediSafety section that has more informatioand teen-friendly resources to furthepromote Internet safety.

Its important that your child be aware thathe fundamentals -- what we say, howe say it, and why we say it -- are thsame online and off. Here are some tipfor discussing Internet safety with youfamily:

Create an honest, open environmentKids look to their parents to help guidthem. You may not have all the answersand being honest about that can go a lonway.

Initiate conversations. Even if your kidare comfortable approaching you, donwait for them to start the conversationUse everyday opportunities to talk to you

kids about being online.

Communicate your values. Be upfronabout your values and how they apply ian online context. Communicating youvalues clearly can help your kids maksmarter and more thoughtful decisionwhen they face tricky situations.

Be patient. Most kids need to heainformation repeated, in small doses, foit to sink in. If you keep talking with youkids, your patience and persistence wilpay off in the long run.
