Quotes

1. The person that knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss. Diane Ravitch

2. “Only those who constantly retool themselves stand a chance of staying employed in the years ahead.  Tom Peters, Author

3. I love the man who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grows brave by reaction. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.  Thomas Paine, (1737-1809, Anglo-American Political Theorist, Writer)

 

Choose Life A 2008 federal law will give new or expectant parents the latest information about Down syndrome or other Disabilities, give referrals to support services, and help create a national registry to connect parents with Down Syndrome children. A measure of how necessary this law is lies in the statistic that 90o/o of parents who are told their unborn

child has Down syndrome choose to abort the child.  (NRL News, 2/09)
