FOR HUMANITY PROJECT


 

(Arlington, VA)  --  and disturbed by an Army Inspector General review pointing out negligent practices, bad management and shoddy record keeping at the cemetery.  On Thursday, Secretary of the U.S. Army, John McHugh apologized for the findings, saying there is no excuse for the problems revealed in the report.  Those problems include missing and misplaced remains, headstones not recorded in cemetery maps and remains that had been moved without the permission of the next of kin. 

As a result of the investigation, McHugh has announced a series of sweeping reforms that include the creation of a new position to oversee the Army's national cemetery program.  A call center has been established to address family concerns regarding burial discrepancies at Arlington National Cemetery.  The phone number is 703-607-8199.


Ozzy Osbourne really does want to hear you scream. 

The heavy metal icon is joining the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and their fans to "Scream for a Cure." They'll attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest and loudest scream.  Ozzy, whose current single is "Let Me Hear You Scream," will help lead the group shout in the middle of the fifth inning of the Angels-Dodgers game at Dodger Stadium today.  "Scream for a Cure" is part of the Dodgers' 3rd annual "ThinkCure! Weekend" supporting cancer research.

Osbourne's wife Sharon, a cancer survivor, is also contributing to the effort.  She's recorded a spot that will air at the ballgame as well as online and during the telethon broadcast.  Fans can donate online at www.dodgers.com/thinkcureweekend or www.thinkcure.org, call (866) 554-CURE, or text "CURE" to 50555 -- which will result in a ten-dollar contribution through their mobile phone bill.

LOOKING TO HELP EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS IN HAITI?

The FBI is reminding Internet users to be wary of appeals to donate money in the aftermath of Tuesday's devastating earthquake in Haiti.  As in past tragedies and natural disasters, the bureau says criminals may ask for contributions, claiming to represent actual charitable organizations. 

A few simple rules to avoid the scams -- don't respond to unsolicited e-mails or click on links contained within those messages.  Make contributions directly to known organizations and never give out personal or financial information.  Anyone who has received a suspicious e-mail or may have been a victim of fraud should notify the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.

Red Cross - you can text “haiti” to 90999 to automatically donate $10--the service is being offered without surcharges by mGive (SOURCE: The Consumerist)

 

Text haiti to 52000 to donate 10 dollars

Serving up to 200 adults in Dauphin, Lancaster and Cumberland Counties, ACAP provides comprehensive and integrative services, including health care, vocational, recreational, behavioral and social services. Individually tailored to each person’s strengths, needs and preferences, services assist individuals to lead meaningful lives in the community.

To participate in ACAP, individuals must meet the eligibility requirements. Individuals interested in ACAP should enroll with the Bureau of Autism Services, and they will receive services in the order they were enrolled in the program.

ACAP and Keystone Autism Services are a culmination of Keystone’s commitment to supporting individuals and families with autism.

  How ready are you for an emergency?
According to a recent American Red Cross study, most Americans aren't well prepared to respond to a disaster situation.  Nearly half of those taking part in the survey note they've put together an emergency kit to help them get through a disaster.  Forty-five-percent say they have a disaster plan that includes having an out-of-town contact.  However, fewer than a quarter of those with a plan have done a practice run, and the Red Cross says only about 12-percent of those polled are truly prepared to take action in the event of an emergency.  In an effort to help people become better prepared for a disaster situation the Red Cross has teamed up with Clorox for the "Do More Than Cross Your Fingers" campaign, which offers tips on compiling an emergency kit and other disaster preparedness techniques.  To learn more visit www.redcross.org/domore.

As a motorist or a passenger, there are some steps to become more aware of motorcyclists.

Respect the motorcyclist:
Remember the motorcycle is a vehicle with all of the privileges of any vehicle on the roadway. Give the motorcyclist a full lane of travel.

Look out:
Look for the motorcyclist on the highway, at intersections, when a motorcyclist may be making a left turn, and when a motorcyclist may be changing lanes. Clearly signal your intentions.

Anticipate a motorcyclist's maneuver:
Obstructions (debris, potholes, etc.) that you may ignore or not notice can be deadly for a motorcyclist. Predict evasive actions.

Allow plenty of space:
Don't follow a motorcycle too closely. Allow enough room for the motorcyclist to take evasive actions.

CARTRIDGES 4 CANINES

Reduce your office clutter and turn your trash into treasure by participating in Cartridges 4 Canines, a fundraising initiative to benefit Susquehanna Service Dogs. The Keystone Partnership is partnering with Harrisburg Copiers to launch this used ink and toner cartridge drive, which channels environmental awareness to generate financial support for the significant services provided by Susquehanna Service Dogs. Individuals and companies in Central Pennsylvania can arrange for regular collection of their used inkjet and toner cartridges by Harrisburg Copiers or other Keystone volunteers, and all proceeds from the recycled cartridges will go toward the breeding, training and placement of service, hearing and therapy dogs for children and adults with disabilities.
