Colon Cancer Awareness
The Earn a Blue Star program is a unique initiative created in 2005 to spark discussion about the importance of screening and early detection of colon cancer and to raise awareness about the latest treatment options available. The blue star is a symbol of the fight against colon cancer. This year, more than 145,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colon cancer. It's the second-leading cancer killer, but it doesn't have to be. If you are age 50 or over or have a family history of colon cancer, speak to your doctor, get screened, and understand your treatment options. Colon cancer can now be treated with minimally invasive surgery allowing you a quicker recovery, less pain, and less scarring than traditional surgery.
More information about the Earn a Blue Star program is available at www.mybluestar.org. Log onto the web site to send a unique video message to family and friends who may be at risk for colon cancer to encourage them to get screened - it just might save their lives.

Vibrance, Strength, and Love" by Judith Orloff M.D.
Chapter 9: Protect Yourself from Energy Vampires
by Judith Orloff, M.D.
Our relationships at work are governed by a give and take of energy. Some coworkers make us more electric or at ease. Yet others suck the life right out of us. As a physician and energy specialist I want to verify that energy vampires roam the workplace sapping our exuberance. But most of us don't know how to cope with vampires, so we mope around as unwitting casualties, enduring a preventable fatigue.
Here are some types of energy vampires to watch for and ways to deal with them.
Vampire #1: The Sob Sister
She's the whining coworker or friend with the "poor me" attitude who's more interested in complaining than solutions.
How to Protect Yourself: Set clear boundaries. Limit the time you spend talking about her complaints. Sensitively say, "I'm sorry I can only talk for a few minutes today." And go on with your day.
Vampire #2: The Drama Queen
This vampire has a flair for exaggerating small incidents into off-the-chart dramas which exhaust you.
How to Protect Yourself: A drama queen doesn't get mileage out of equanimity. Stay calm. Take a few deep breaths. This will help you not get caught up in the histrionics.
Vampire #3: The Constant Talker or Joke Teller
A chronic motor mouth, he has no interest in your feelings; he's only concerned with himself. You wait for an opening to get a word in edgewise but it never comes.
How to Protect Yourself: These people don't respond to nonverbal cues. You must speak up and interrupt. Politely say, "I'm a quiet person, so please excuse me for not talking a long time" — more constructive than expressing frustration.
Vampire #4: The Fixer Upper
She turns you into her therapist, desperate for you to fix her endless problems. At lunch, she'll make a b-line to your desk, monopolizing your free time. Her neediness lures you in.
How to Protect Your Energy: Do not become the "rescuer." Show empathy but resist offering solutions to not reinforce this behavior.
Vampire #5: The Blamer
This vampire has a sneaky way of making you feel guilty or lacking for not getting things just right. She always has a negative comment to make.
How to Protect Yourself: Try this visualization. Around this person imagine yourself surrounded by a protective covering. Tell yourself that you are safe and secure so you can't be depleted.
Vampire #6: Go For The Jugular Fiend
This type is intentionally vindictive and/or verbally abusive. It's hard to get these hurtful jabs out of your head.
How To Protect Yourself: Eliminate them from your life whenever possible. If this is your boss, try a visualization that puts you at a distance from him. If you can't switch jobs, realize he's a wounded person; don't take his meanness personally.
Judith Orloff M.D. is a psychiatrist and author of "Positive Energy: Ten Extraordinary Prescriptions for Transforming Fatigue, Stress, and Fear Into Vibrance, Strength, and Love" (Three Rivers Press, 2005). She's an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA and is an international workshop leader on the interrelationship of medicine, intuition, and positive energy.

PENCIL
PENCIL was founded on the belief that New York City's business community has economic, social and humanistic interests in the quality of education offered by the city's public schools. To date, Principal For A Day has had more than 7,500 participants work towards seeing that those interests are recognized and met.
PENCIL (Public Education Needs Civic Involvement in Learning) was founded in 1995 to galvanize and coordinate meaningful civic involvement in New York City public education to improve student achievement. Its flagship program, Principal For A Day, pairs thousands of New Yorkers from the private sector with the city's schools. This and other PENCIL programs foster hundreds of long-term partnerships with schools, generate millions of dollars worth of donations of cash, goods, and services for schools and school districts, and act as a vehicle through which the city's private sector advocates for educational reform. PENCIL's programs serve as national and international models of private sector engagement in public education.
