Fireworks on the Fourth of July are as American as apple pie. Carol Cunningham, MD, Emergency Medicine Physician at Akron General Health System urges using common sense when it comes to handling fireworks to celebrate our country's birthday.<br />
<br />
On average, about 200 people every day go to the emergency department with fireworks-related injuries around the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1897338469" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">4th of July</span></span> holiday, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). More than half the injuries were burns.<br />
<br />
For example, a sparkler can burn at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit - which is as hot as a blow torch.
Almost half (41 percent) of fireworks injuries are to a person's hands, fingers or arms.<br />
<br />
One-third (38 percent) of them are to a person's eyes, head, face and ears (CPSC).
If fireworks are legal in your community, The American College of Emergency Physicians strongly suggests that you do not use fireworks at your home.<br />
<br />
If you do use them, however, these do's and don'ts will help make it a safer experience.<br />
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DO - Have knowledgeable supervision by an experienced adult if you choose to use fireworks.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DO - Buy fireworks from reputable dealers.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DO - Read warning labels and follow all instructions.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DO - Keep a bucket of water or fire extinguisher on hand.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DO - Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DO - Dispose of all fireworks properly.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DON'T - Give any fireworks, including sparklers, to small children; older children should be supervised by a responsible adult.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DON'T - Light fireworks indoors or near other objects.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DON'T - Place your body over a fireworks device when trying to light the fuse and immediately back up to a safe distance after you light it.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DON'T - Point or throw fireworks at another person, ever.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DON'T - Try to re-light or pick up malfunctioning fireworks.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DON'T - Wear loose clothing while using any fireworks.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DON'T - Set off fireworks in glass or metal containers - the fragments can cause severe injury.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">DON'T - Carry fireworks in a pocket.</li>
</ul>
"The safest and only thing you should do is watch a professional fireworks display managed by experts who have proper training and experience handling these explosives," says Dr. Cunningham.<br />

to extend your experience of the Barnes Foundation’s legendary art collection
on the Parkway. Venture a mere 8 miles to explore a 12-acre hidden treasure
filled with a magnificent living collection of rare plants and breathtaking
blooms. If Albert Barnes expressed his passion through art appreciation, his
wife, Laura, expressed hers through the cultivation of the Arboretum and the
establishment of the horticulture program, which is celebrating its 75th
anniversary this year. Pack a picnic, stroll the grounds, and tap new
inspiration at the Barnes Arboretum. The Arboretum is open for the season May 1
– November 1, 2015, Fri-Sun,10am – 4pm. Free parking available</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">PHILADELPHIA (Jan. 14, 2014) - Slithering in at 48 feet long and weighing an estimated one-and-a-half tons, the world's largest snake-a realistic replica of it, that is-will be on exhibit at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> starting Saturday, Feb. 14.</span></span><br />

<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">From deep underground in a Colombian coal mine, in a layer dating to 65 million years ago, scientists have uncovered remains of the largest snake that ever roamed the planet, Titanoboa cerrejonensis. Measuring 48 feet long and weighing 2,500 pounds, this massive predator grew as long as a school bus and weighed as much as a small car. Twice as long as the longest snake alive today, Titanoboa could crush and devour a crocodile.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;" />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">“By now, I don’t think anyone is surprised that regular exercise is good for children and inactivity is places them at risk for illnesses later in life, but when you take a moment to consider the data in-depth for children who exercise and play organized sports, the details of a child’s future come to life,” says Danyel Surrency Jones, president of Power To Give and co-founder of Powerhandz Inc., (<a href="http://powerhandz.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">powerhandz.com</a>), a company specializing in athletic training products to improve performance in baseball, basketball and football.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Danyel and her business partner and husband, Darnell Jones, a former professional basketball player who also co-founded Powerhandz, want kids in their community and beyond to benefit from the values learned from youth sports. That’s why they created the <a href="http://powerhandz.com/power-to-give/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Power To Give</a> program, which promotes positive development.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">“We believe in the power of sports to change a kid’s life for the better,” says Darnell, who lists five significant benefits of youth sports.</span></div>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; margin-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>• Cultivates a positive attitude:</strong> Sports are demanding. Come game time, a young athlete wouldn’t last long with a negative mindset. “Practice is no cakewalk either,” Darnell says. “As adults, we understand the need to hype ourselves before hitting the gym. The rewarding feeling we get walking out from the gym is similar to what young people feel after a game or tough practice.”</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; margin-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>• Offers a sense of accomplishment, confidence and self-esteem:</strong> As the CDC noted, simply being physically active builds self-esteem. We are physical beings who are not meant to sit in front of a videogame for several consecutive hours. “Again, if you’re a physically active adult, you feel that sense of accomplishment in outdoing your last performance at the gym,” Danyel says. “Kids feel a similar way learning new skills and succeeding in a game, except more so.” </span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; margin-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>• Builds better peer relationships:</strong> Kids want to fit in, but it’s not always easy. Organized sports hurdles the high wall of social awkwardness so many children feel. Team sports such as baseball, basketball and football demand participants to work together for a common goal, which is a valuable lesson some adults still haven’t learned while interacting at work.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; margin-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>• More restraint in avoiding risky behavior:</strong> Ideally, parents can get their children <em>engaged</em> – in anything that’s productive, really. Bored or disengaged children have a way of getting into trouble. A student is less likely to misbehave in class or break the law if it means getting kicked off the team of a sport they love.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Tahoma; font-size: 16px; margin-right: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>• Greater family attachment and frequent interactions with parents:</strong> Famous athletes say it all the time, “Thanks Mom. Thanks for driving me to and from practice, and thanks for showing up at the games.” And that doesn’t even count helping a child with actual practice – playing catch, squaring off one-on-one, etc.</span></blockquote>

<i>Los Angeles – January 14, 2015 –</i> <b>Soledad O'Brien </b>takes one of America's most challenging conversations on the road as her ongoing Black in America series brings the explosive issue of police brutality to college campuses.<u></u><u></u></div>

<b>Black in America 2015 </b>gathers academics and experts, students, and community members of all races and politics to discuss their personal stories of how policing impacts their lives. The award-winning journalist and philanthropist presents a detailed examination of the facts behind community policing, racial profiling, controversial crime reduction tactics, and arrest quotas. And, we see the shocking videos that show how a war between civil rights and crime reduction is unfurling on America's streets.<u></u><u></u></div>

The<b> </b>multi-city tour gives audiences - from Miami to Houston to Massachusetts - an inside look at the latest installment of O'Brien's <b>Black in America</b> documentary series: Black & Blue. The gripping hour aired on CNN just as protests erupted on American streets. The story begins with shocking exclusive footage of Eric Garner choked to death in NY, then uses graphic videos and incisive interviews to show how the lives of young men are fractured by aggressive policing. One is a Latino man who is beaten by police when he stops to watch them make a random arrest - even as cameras roll. The other, a young man feeling the emotional pain of being stopped and frisked by officers 100 times for no apparent reason. The documentary film also shares the perspective of black NYPD officers who believe the "stop and frisk" tactic fights crime and keeps their communities safe. <u></u><u></u></div>

months. As a result, eligible nationals of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra
Leone who <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="38363bb8-9c92-4dc0-9bbd-dc204ecc3ad4" id="3d5c041d-ee3b-4a86-ba75-687a25123554">are currently residing</span> in the United States may apply for TPS with
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The Federal Register notices
provide details and procedures for applying for TPS and are available at <a href="http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTQxMTIwLjM4NDIxOTAxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE0MTEyMC4zODQyMTkwMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE2OTk3NDU0JmVtYWlsaWQ9d2VsY29tZWNlbnRlckB1cHBlcmRhcmJ5Lm9yZyZ1c2VyaWQ9d2VsY29tZWNlbnRlckB1cHBlcmRhcmJ5Lm9yZyZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&100&&&http://www.uscis.gov/tps">www.uscis.gov/tps</a>.<br />
<br />
The TPS designations <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="65649c70-2147-460d-8f8e-c2b2313e64ad" id="1697771b-f3f8-44a6-afab-1ad401fa907b">for</span> the three countries are effective Nov. 21, 2014 and
will be in effect for 18 months. The designations mean that eligible nationals
of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone (and people without nationality who last
habitually resided in one of those three countries) will not be removed from
the United States and are authorized to work and obtain an Employment
Authorization Document (EAD). The 180-day TPS registration period begins Nov.
21, 2014 and runs through May 20, 2015.<br />
<br />
To be eligible for TPS, applicants must demonstrate that they satisfy all
eligibility criteria, including that they have been “continuously residing” in
the United States since Nov. 20, 2014 and “continuously physically present in”
the United States since Nov. 21, 2014. Applicants also undergo thorough
security checks. Individuals with certain criminal records or who pose a
threat to national security are not eligible for TPS. The eligibility
requirements are fully described in the Federal Register notices and on the TPS
Web page at <a href="http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTQxMTIwLjM4NDIxOTAxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE0MTEyMC4zODQyMTkwMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE2OTk3NDU0JmVtYWlsaWQ9d2VsY29tZWNlbnRlckB1cHBlcmRhcmJ5Lm9yZyZ1c2VyaWQ9d2VsY29tZWNlbnRlckB1cHBlcmRhcmJ5Lm9yZyZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&101&&&http://www.uscis.gov/tps">www.uscis.gov/tps</a><br />
<br />
Liberians currently covered under the two-year extension of Deferred
Enforced Departure (DED) based on President Obama’s Sept. 26, 2014 memorandum
may apply for TPS. If they do not apply for TPS within the initial 180-day
registration period, they risk being ineligible for TPS because they will have
missed the initial registration period. Liberians covered by DED who already
possess or have applied for an EAD do not need to also apply for one related to
this TPS designation. However, such individuals who are granted TPS may request
a TPS-related EAD at a later date as long as the TPS designation for Liberia
remains in effect.<br />

Applicants may request that USCIS waive any or all fees based on

by submitting a written request. Fee-waiver requests must be accompanied by
supporting documentation. USCIS will reject any TPS application that does not
include the required filing fee or a properly documented fee-waiver request.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Kalimati,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Many small children dream about living in castles or other exotic locales, especially when their own homes are small and simple. Sometimes, a gentle dose of reality is all it takes for them to regain perspective and cherish their own homes and families.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is the case for the young girl in the newly published children’s picture book "Lillou’s Adventure – Little Trip Away" by author and illustrator Adriana Bowden.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This debut book introduces Lillou, a sweet young girl who has a very busy mother and father and a noisy little brother. They live in a small and charming house, but Lillou isn’t happy. This isn’t what she wants. Her home is too small, it’s too noisy, and she hates eating her vegetables!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Instead, Lillou dreams of living in the big house next door. Grand and spacious, it reminds her of a castle. One day, when she realizes her mom is preparing vegetables for dinner yet again, Lillou sneaks out to visit the home she has always dreamed of.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">There, she meets a sweet old lady who listens to her dreams and invites her to stay upstairs in the vast and comfortable tower. It’s a dream come true, or is it?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="2a150389-b8b3-4a67-b596-0045f370a1f4" id="9da128a6-8ec2-40a5-bb19-7f8e54314775">Lillou</span> soon discovers that as lovely as this castle appears, it isn’t very warm inside. It’s also a bit untidy, because the old lady has been ill and unable to clean it. <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="0b71679a-f192-4092-b4e0-99299f0c00b2" id="e28a66bd-2ba2-4b5b-a6ca-db97c53520a4">Lillou</span> consoles herself with the thought that at least she doesn’t have to eat any dinner, because the lady hasn’t cooked any.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Even Lillou’s new bedroom isn’t what she expected. It may be huge, but it’s also terribly quiet. Before long, Lillou realizes this isn’t what she wants after all. A bit embarrassed, she runs down the steps to find the old lady. <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="dde83316-bf8f-476e-9812-85e636f39492" id="f0dbfb05-3361-4a4d-ace3-8ad2c280b647">Lillou</span> apologizes, thanks the lady, and invites her to come to dinner, which she suddenly can’t wait to eat!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In her own cozy home once again, <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="769730c7-6a72-4101-8ca0-f02f69bee507" id="ce57768d-6113-4459-a109-6263da1af216">Lillou</span> is so filled with gratitude that even the noise she once disliked sounds like music to her ears.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Bowden comments, "This book grew out of the stories my husband and I started making up to tell our children at bedtime. It has wonderfully colorful illustrations and a simple but interesting story that will peak your little one's imagination and bring the characters to life."</span></div>

<b style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Author:</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Kalimati, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Adriana Bowden is the mother of two children under the age of five who give her inspiration to create wonderful books for others to enjoy and the stepmother of two older children in high school and middle school. She works on her books in her spare time and never seems to run out of creativity, even when she is tired. She draws all of her characters by hand on a large surface and then puts them into the computer by taking a photo. It is a lot of work, but the result is a wonderful canvas of colors and imagination. She is a native of Brazil and is self-taught in the skills of drawing and illustrations.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Kalimati,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"># # #<br /></span></span></div>
