Helping Joplin Missouri

By ENJOLI FRANCIS
May 23, 2011
Rescue efforts are under way as residents of Joplin, Mo., try to pick up the pieces of their lives after a devastating tornado hit the city of about 50,000 and severe storms ravaged the Midwest this weekend.

At least 116 people have been reported dead in Joplin. Authorities say 25 percent to 30 percent of the city has been damaged by the tornado, which was reportedly one mile wide, with winds of nearly 200 mph.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency Sunday evening and activated the National Guard. Find out below how to help this city, 160 miles south of Kansas City.

Donate to the Tornado Relief Effort

The American Red Cross is providing food, shelter and emotional support in Missouri, Minnesota and other parts of the Midwest.

To make a donation to the American Red Cross' Disaster Relief, visit its online donation page. Once there you can enter the zip code for Joplin, 64801, to make sure that the money will be directed to their local Joplin chapter.

You can also call 1-800-RED-CROSS or text "REDCROSS" to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Contributions may also be sent to your local Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013.

A Must Read Artical...

I got this artical from EZ Artical website here is the artical in part.

Travel Dangers and How to Avoid Them
By Paul Jorgensen

Traveling is an amazing and eye-opening experience that will impact you forever, and I hope that everybody has the courage to travel to new places and experience what they have to offer. Travel is usually a safe activity if you take some basic precautions and do your homework a little bit beforehand. Part of taking precautions is to know what kind of dangers are out there so you can be prepared for them in the event they do happen. But I hope you don't dwell on these dangers but rather be aware of them, because oftentimes simply being aware will keep you out of danger. Let's take a look at some common travel scams to beware of.

One common scam when traveling is for your taxi driver to intentionally take you to the wrong destination. For example, you catch a taxi from the airport and tell the driver the name and address of your hotel, but while en route he informs you that your hotel is now closed but that he knows a hotel that is open and has space. Don't believe him, he's lying. He wants to take you to a hotel that gives him a commission for bringing guests. Tell him to take you to your intended hotel even if it's closed, and if he takes you anywhere else, get out and refuse to pay.

Another common scam is for tourists to be overcharged. This is probably the most common scam of all. It is easy to avoid this by doing some research about basic prices before your trip. You should know beforehand how much a bottle of water will cost, how much a meal on the street will typically cost, how much a taxi ride between important destinations will cost, and so on. You can do this research with travel guidebooks, and also on travel forums such as Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree. If you know the standard price, vendors and taxi drivers will see that and will give you the standard price, or something close to it. And if they don't? Walk away. Then they will probably call you back and give you the standard price.

New Travel Helpers Wanted.

Our Travel Helpers make trip planning easy
Ask them a question and they give their own personal insight into destinations around the world, providing travel information that can't be found in any guide; information from their own experience!

Silvia Nocella is a Travel Helper for Uruguay. She explained exactly why she likes the concept so much:

What is Travel Helping about?
"There must be plenty of different reasons for becoming a Travel Helper, but basically I think the main issue is participating in the created value of fostering connections between individuals who share a common passion: TRAVELLING."

What is expected as a Travel Helper?
"You are expected to give some of your time, sharing some of your knowledge, trying to make other people's trips easier and more enjoyable by providing those details that can make the difference and that you still can't find over the internet. You never know what kind of questions to expect, some of them will be easy to answer and some of them you won't have a clue about."

What is in it for me?
"I would say that the biggest benefit is the interaction with other people, getting to know new people, some as different from you as they can be, in age, in culture, in background. Sometimes, you get to meet these people (I love it!) and you are able to build relationships that will last over time.

You ask me what I find so great about being a Travel Helper? The feeling of getting back much more than you are giving! So, go ahead, join us and start sharing the experience!"

Travel Packing Tips: What Every Traveler Needs To Know

Whether you’re a first time vacationer or a seasoned traveler, there are many helpful travel packing tips that can make your trip go just a little bit smoother. Picture this. You get to your vacation destination only to realize that you have left an essential article at home. This can turn out to be quite costly – especially if you are in a foreign country. What you need is a practical packing list. That is why we wanted to offer you this list of travel packing tips. Use these tips to make sure that there’s nothing missing from your suitcase – before you leave home!
Packing Lists, Packing Lists, and More Packing Lists!

The very first of the travel packing tips we wanted to give you, is to always make certain that you make a list of everything you think you’ll need while on your trip. Lists are the best way to keep track of all the things you will need, as well as of all the things you have already packed. As you are packing your suitcase, be sure that you place a check mark next to each item. This will help you to keep track of what has and hasn’t been already packed.

Be Smart: Make Copies Of Important Documents

The second of the travel packing tips we want to share with you is the fact that you should make copies of all of your important papers before you leave. Carrying around your license and passport is necessary in most places when you travel. Unfortunately, this leaves many travelers in an awkward position if their bags or wallets are stolen. What a terrible predicament to be in – stranded in another country without any proof of who you are. That's why having copies is a smart move. If the originals get stolen, it will be much easier to replace them if you have copies to hand over to the relevant authorities.
It is unfortunate, but many travelers have experienced that dreaded feeling of having their valuable documents stolen. This is why it is crucial that you make copies of all of your important papers, and leave them in a safe place such as your luggage in your hotel room, or in the hotel safe. This way, should the unthinkable happen, and your original documents are stolen, you can easily go to your consulate or driver’s license bureau and receive replacements. This simple travel tip can save you a tremendous amount of frustration.

A Safe Trip Abroad

When you travel abroad, the odds are you will have a safe and incident-free trip. Travelers can, however, become victims of crime and violence, or experience unexpected difficulties. No one is better able to tell you this than the U.S. consular officers who work in more than 250 U.S. embassies and consulates around the globe. Every day of the year, U.S. embassies and consulates receive calls from American citizens in distress.

Happily, most problems can be solved over the phone or with a visit to the Consular Section of the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. There are other occasions, however, when U.S. consular officers are called upon to help U.S. citizens who are in foreign hospitals or prisons, or to assist the families of U.S. citizens who have passed away overseas.

We have prepared the following travel tips to help you avoid serious difficulties during your time abroad. We wish you a safe and wonderful journey!

Before You Go
What to Take

Safety begins when you pack. To help avoid becoming a target, do not dress in a way that could mark you as an affluent tourist. Expensive-looking jewelry, for instance, can draw the wrong attention.

Always try to travel light. You can move more quickly and will be more likely to have a free hand. You will also be less tired and less likely to set your luggage down, leaving it unattended.

Carry the minimum number of valuables, and plan places to conceal them. Your passport, cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe. When you have to carry them on your person, you may wish to put them each in a different place rather than all in one wallet or pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny packs and outside pockets that are easy targets for thieves. Inside pockets and a sturdy shoulder bag with the strap worn across your chest are somewhat safer. One of the safest places to carry valuables is in a pouch or money belt worn under your clothing.

If you wear glasses, pack an extra pair. Pack them and any medicines you need in your carry-on luggage.

To avoid problems when passing through customs, keep medicines in their original, labeled containers. Bring copies of your prescriptions and the generic names for the drugs. If a medication is unusual or contains narcotics, carry a letter from your doctor attesting to your need to take the drug. If you have any doubt about the legality of carrying a certain drug into a country, consult the embassy or consulate of that country before you travel.

Bring travelers’ checks and one or two major credit cards instead of cash.

Pack an extra set of passport photos along with a photocopy of your passport’s information page to make replacement of your passport easier in the event it is lost or stolen.

Put your name, address and telephone numbers inside and outside of each piece of luggage. Use covered luggage tags to avoid casual observation of your identity or nationality. If possible, lock your luggage.

What to Leave Behind
Don't bring anything you would hate to lose. Leave at home:

•Valuable or expensive-looking jewelry
•Irreplaceable family objects
•All unnecessary credit cards
•Your Social Security card, library card, and similar items you may routinely carry in your wallet.
Leave a copy of your itinerary with family or friends at home in case they need to contact you in an emergency.

Make two photocopies of your passport identification page, airline tickets, driver's license and the credit cards that you plan to bring with you. Leave one photocopy of this data with family or friends at home; pack the other in a place separate from where you carry the originals.

Leave a copy of the serial numbers of your travelers' checks with a friend or relative at home. Carry your copy with you in a separate place and, as you cash the checks, cross them off the list.

What to Learn About Before You Go
Local Laws and Customs

When you leave the United States, you are subject to the laws of the country you are visiting. Therefore, before you go, learn as much as you can about the local laws and customs of the places you plan to visit. Good resources are your library, your travel agent, and the embassies, consulates or tourist bureaus of the countries you will visit. In addition, keep track of what is being reported in the media about recent developments in those countries.

Things to Arrange Before You Go
Your Itinerary

As much as possible, plan to stay in larger hotels that have more elaborate security. Safety experts recommend booking a room from the second to seventh floors above ground level – high enough to deter easy entry from outside, but low enough for fire equipment to reach.

When there is a choice of airport or airline, ask your travel agent about comparative safety records.

Legal Documents

Have your affairs in order at home. If you leave a current will, insurance documents, and power of attorney with your family or a friend, you can feel secure about traveling and will be prepared for any emergency that may arise while you are away. If you have minor children, consider making guardianship arrangements for them.

Register your travel

It is a good idea to sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program --think of it as checking in-- so that you may be contacted if need be, whether because of a family emergency in the U.S., or because of a crisis in the area in which you are traveling. It is a free service provided by the State Department, and is easily accomplished online at https://travelregistration.state.gov. (In accordance with the Privacy Act, the Department of State may not release information on your welfare or whereabouts to inquirers without your express written authorization.)

Credit

Make a note of the credit limit on each credit card that you bring, and avoid charging over that limit while traveling. Americans have been arrested for innocently exceeding their credit limit. Ask your credit card company how to report the loss of your card from abroad. 1-800 numbers do not work from abroad, but your company should have a number that you can call while you are overseas.

Insurance

Find out if your personal property insurance covers you for loss or theft abroad. Also, check on whether your health insurance covers you abroad. Medicare and Medicaid do not provide payment for medical care outside the United States. Even if your health insurance will reimburse you for medical care that you pay for abroad, health insurance usually does not pay for medical evacuation from a remote area or from a country where medical facilities are inadequate. Consider purchasing a policy designed for travelers, and covering short-term health and emergency assistance, as well as medical evacuation in the event of an accident or serious illness.

Precautions to Take While Traveling
Safety on the Street

Use the same common sense traveling overseas that you would at home. Be especially cautious in (or avoid) areas where you may be more easily victimized. These include crowded subways, train stations, elevators, tourist sites, market places, festivals and crime-ridden neighborhoods.

•Don't use short cuts, narrow alleys or poorly lit streets.
•Try not to travel alone at night.
•Avoid public demonstrations and other civil disturbances.
•Keep a low profile and avoid loud conversations or arguments.
•Do not discuss travel plans or other personal matters with strangers.
•Avoid scam artists by being wary of strangers who approach you and offer to be your guide or sell you something at bargain prices.
•Beware of pickpockets. They often have an accomplice who will:
◦jostle you,
◦ask you for directions or the time,
◦point to something spilled on your clothing,
◦or distract you by creating a disturbance.
•Beware of groups of vagrant children who could create a distraction to pick your pocket.
•Wear the shoulder strap of your bag across your chest and walk with the bag away from the curb to avoid drive-by purse-snatchers.
•Try to seem purposeful when you move about. Even if you are lost, act as if you know where you are going. Try to ask for directions only from individuals in authority.
•Know how to use a pay telephone and have the proper change or token on hand.
•Learn a few phrases in the local language or have them handy in written form so that you can signal your need for police or medical help.
•Make a note of emergency telephone numbers you may need: police, fire, your hotel, and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
•If you are confronted, don't fight back -- give up your valuables.
Safety in Your Hotel
•Keep your hotel door locked at all times. Meet visitors in the lobby.
•Do not leave money and other valuables in your hotel room while you are out. Use the hotel safe.
•If you are out late at night, let someone know when you expect to return.
•If you are alone, do not get on an elevator if there is a suspicious-looking person inside.
•Read the fire safety instructions in your hotel room. Know how to report a fire, and be sure you know where the nearest fire exits and alternate exits are located. (Count the doors between your room and the nearest exit; this could be a lifesaver if you have to crawl through a smoke-filled corridor.)
Safety on Public Transportation
If a country has a pattern of tourists being targeted by criminals on public transport, that information is mentioned in each country’s Country Specific Information in the section about crime.

Taxis

Only take taxis clearly identified with official markings. Beware of unmarked cabs.

Trains

Well-organized, systematic robbery of passengers on trains along popular tourist routes is a problem. It is more common at night and especially on overnight trains.

If you see your way being blocked by a stranger and another person is very close to you from behind, move away. This can happen in the corridor of the train or on the platform or station.

Do not accept food or drink from strangers. Criminals have been known to drug food or drink offered to passengers. Criminals may also spray sleeping gas in train compartments. Where possible, lock your compartment. If it cannot be locked securely, take turns sleeping in shifts with your traveling companions. If that is not possible, stay awake. If you must sleep unprotected, tie down your luggage and secure your valuables to the extent possible.

Do not be afraid to alert authorities if you feel threatened in any way. Extra police are often assigned to ride trains on routes where crime is a serious problem.

Buses

The same type of criminal activity found on trains can be found on public buses on popular tourist routes. For example, tourists have been drugged and robbed while sleeping on buses or in bus stations. In some countries, whole busloads of passengers have been held up and robbed by gangs of bandits.

Safety When You Drive
When you rent a car, choose a type that is commonly available locally. Where possible, ask that markings that identify it as a rental car be removed. Make certain it is in good repair. If available, choose a car with universal door locks and power windows, features that give the driver better control of access. An air conditioner, when available, is also a safety feature, allowing you to drive with windows closed. Thieves can and do snatch purses through open windows of moving cars.

•Keep car doors locked at all times. Wear seat belts.
•As much as possible, avoid driving at night.
•Don't leave valuables in the car. If you must carry things with you, keep them out of sight locked in the trunk, and then take them with you when you leave the car.
•Don't park your car on the street overnight. If the hotel or municipality does not have a parking garage or other secure area, select a well-lit area.
•Never pick up hitchhikers.
•Don't get out of the car if there are suspicious looking individuals nearby. Drive away.
Patterns of Crime Against Motorists

In many places frequented by tourists, including areas of southern Europe, victimization of motorists has been refined to an art. Where it is a problem, U.S. embassies are aware of it and consular officers try to work with local authorities to warn the public about the dangers. In some locations, these efforts at public awareness have paid off, reducing the frequency of incidents. You may also wish to ask your rental car agency for advice on avoiding robbery while visiting tourist destinations.

Carjackers and thieves operate at gas stations, parking lots, in city traffic and along the highway. Be suspicious of anyone who hails you or tries to get your attention when you are in or near your car.

Criminals use ingenious ploys. They may pose as good Samaritans, offering help for tires that they claim are flat or that they have made flat. Or they may flag down a motorist, ask for assistance, and then steal the rescuer's luggage or car. Usually they work in groups, one person carrying on the pretense while the others rob you.

Other criminals get your attention with abuse, either trying to drive you off the road, or causing an "accident" by rear-ending you.

In some urban areas, thieves don't waste time on ploys, they simply smash car windows at traffic lights, grab your valuables or your car and get away. In cities around the world, "defensive driving" has come to mean more than avoiding auto accidents; it means keeping an eye out for potentially criminal pedestrians, cyclists and scooter riders.

How to Handle Money Safely
•To avoid carrying large amounts of cash, change your travelers’ checks only as you need currency. Countersign travelers’ checks only in front of the person who will cash them.
•Do not flash large amounts of money when paying a bill. Make sure your credit card is returned to you after each transaction.
•Deal only with authorized agents when you exchange money, buy airline tickets or purchase souvenirs. Do not change money on the black market.
If your possessions are lost or stolen, report the loss immediately to the local police. Keep a copy of the police report for insurance claims and as an explanation of what happened.

After reporting missing items to the police, report the loss or theft of:

•Travelers' checks to the nearest agent of the issuing company
•Credit cards to the issuing company
•Airline tickets to the airline or travel agent
•Passport to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate
How to Avoid Legal Difficulties
When you are in a foreign country, you are subject to its laws and are under its jurisdiction. You can be arrested overseas for actions that may be either legal or considered minor infractions in the United States. Familiarize yourself with legal expectations in the countries you will visit. The Country Specific Information pages include information on unusual patterns of arrests in particular countries, as appropriate.

Drug Violations

More than one-third of U.S. citizens incarcerated abroad are held on drug charges. Some countries do not distinguish between possession and trafficking, and many have mandatory sentences – even for possession of a small amount of marijuana or cocaine. A number of Americans have been arrested for possessing prescription drugs, particularly tranquilizers and amphetamines, that they purchased legally elsewhere. Other U.S. citizens have been arrested for purchasing prescription drugs abroad in quantities that local authorities suspected were for commercial use. If in doubt about foreign drug laws, ask local authorities or the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.

BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!

I know this is not a UFC post and has nothing to do with MMA but I want to give our military credit on a job well done. Many people died in 9/11 and this will give alkada and other terrist organizations a clear message not to mess with us. 9/11 was a sad day for us all and 5/1 ended with a happy ending here is the artical if you want to read it....

Minutes before the official White House news conference was supposed to convene, the word began leaking out over Twitter: Did the U.S. have Osama bin Laden’s dead body—the body of the man considered the mastermind behind al-Qaeda and the September 11th attacks—in possession? For several minutes, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer danced around the topic, noting that this was probably something that had been in the works for “a very long time,” before Obama offered an official confirmation: Osama bin Laden had been killed by U.S. Special Forces.

On the eighth anniversary of George W. Bush's famous "Mission Accomplished" speech, President Obama was able to definitively say bin Laden was confirmed dead and U.S. forces were in possession of his body.

In a speech made just around 11:40, the president laid out the details of the events leading up to bin Laden's death. He first established a lead on bin Laden's whereabouts last August. Last week, he determined that there was enough intelligence to act. Said Obama, "The United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader. He was a mass murderer of Muslims. His demise should be welcome to all."

I do not condone senceless killings but Ben Laden had it comming! for more infomtion you can go the Nymag website by clicking the title above...
