Nans News
Shortly after we moved in to our new office, I walked into the break room and thought it odd that the waste basket by the door was nearly full of water. There didnt appear to be any water anywhere else. I called the property manager and maintenance was there in a flashit was an AC condensation leak. A couple weeks ago when I arrived in the office and stepped into the break room, water was all over the floor-BIG condensation leak. Thank goodness for responsive property managers and maintenance personnel. The winter of 2009 got the best of our magnolia tree. I talked with Cousin Linda of TLC Greenhouse and Nursery to see if it could be brought back to life. She told me to water it and feed it every week and after about 2 years, it will revive. Well I watered and fed and then one day Jack called me to report that I would not be happy when I got homethe guy who mows our lawnhadyou guessed itcut down the dead tree. Happy, I was not! So after a conversation with Samuel I started watering the stumpnow I have a magnolia bushand it is blooming. Im so happy! Jack and I played golf a couple weeks ago. Had a pretty good roundwas so excited that on a par five I was on the green in twoI wont tell the rest of the storyI have come to the place with my game, that I enjoy playing but I dont spend the time practicing which for me is what is needed to have a low score. I appreciate what Jack says its my ball, I can hit it as many times as I want and since it is my scorecard, I can write down whatever I want as well. I like this kind of golf...a lot! Our surrogate son, Brian, was home from Rochester a few days last month. I enjoyed lunch at Teds with him. I am so proud of him. He looks great and he is happy that he will be working in the Physics Department doing research on.Itll come to me...sounds interesting. It is hard to believe that he is already a junior. Seems like he just left for college yesterday. Hopefully hell be home a couple weeks between summer session and the fall semester and Ill be able to spend more time with him. Wishing all you Dads a wonderful Fathers Day! May your day be special!! Nan

The world father comes from the Old English word foeder, and dad is believed to be a variation of the Welsh word tad, which also means father. According to a survey by the Public Broadcasting System, 79 percent of kids call the father figure in their lives dad or daddy; 3 percent call them by their first name; 1 percent call them father.

Coffee: Good for more than waking up early

That cup of coffee that gets you going in the morningor keeps you energetic in the afternoonmay have some positive health benefits. Though no one is recommending massive does of caffeine, coffee in moderation may be good for more than just keeping you awake and alert. Heres a look at some of the research: Gallstones. Some scientists believe that drinking coffee may reduce a persons risk of developing gallstones by stimulating gallbladder contractions and lowering concentrations of cholesterol in bile. Kidney stones. Studies have suggested that coffee consumption (caffeinated or decaf) cuts a persons chances of developing kidney stones by as much as 10 percent. Diabetes. Research involving more than 450,000 patients indicates that drinking four cups of coffee or tea a day may reduce ones risk for Type 2 diabetes by 2535 percent. Parkinsons Disease. Men who dont drink coffee are apparently five times as likely to develop Parkinsons Disease as those who consume lots of coffee though the link between coffee and Parkinsons hasnt been definitely established. Studies with women have been inconclusive. Just dont go overboard. Doctors recommend drinking no more than 24 ounces of coffee a day. Thats four 6-oz cups (bet you didnt know thatduh!)

Welcome to Our World

Flag Day, June 14

Flag Day was established in the 1800s to recognize the importance of this cherished symbol. One of the most powerful images following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, was a photograph of three fire fighters raising an American flag amid the ruins of the World Trade Center. Many people assume the flag was one that had flown on the buildings observation deck and was recovered from the rubble, but it was actually from a yacht docked in the Hudson River marina at the time of the tragedy. One of the New York city fire fighters spied the flag and carried it (and its pole) back to Ground Zero. There, two others helped him raise it. The fire fighters did it to raise moral after digging for six hours without finding survivors. A photographer from a New Jersey newspaper caught the scene. Many papers and magazines ran the photo, which became a symbol of Americas resolve in the face of calamity. The flag itself is now on display at the American History Museum, part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

A Bridge to Success...In the 19th century, engineers

doubted theyd ever be able to build a bridge across the Niagara Falls. The problem: They couldnt see any way to get a line from one side of the great gorge to the other so that they could begin the project. No boat could cross the river without being pulled over the powerful falls. The other common method, shooting a line from one shore to the other with a bow and arrow, was impossible because the gap was too wide. An engineer named Charles Ellet had an idea: He sponsored a kite-flying contest. The prize was $5 to whoever could maneuver a kite across the gorge and lower it to a height where someone on the other side could grab the string and use it to secure a line that joined the two sides. With that line in place, he could begin building the bridge. Great ideas connect dreams with achievementand often do so with simple tools.

Weve always done it that way

A management consultant was hired by a manufacturer in Britain to help improve its general operating efficiency. At one plant near London, she spent weeks reviewing daily reports that tracked productivity, absenteeism, machine failure, etc. The reports were filled out by hand (the plant was small) on a photocopied form. At the top of the form the consultant noticed a small box that was always filled out with the number zero. The form had been photocopied from the original so many times that she couldnt make out the instructions beneath the box. When she asked, the plant manager shrugged. Theres always been a zero in that box, he said. Thats what they told me to put there when I started. I dont really know why, but there must be a good reason for it. As the consultant finished her work, she was checking some file cabinets when she discovered what looked like the original form, dating back to World War II. Intrigued, she looked at the box to see what important data it was meant to track, and how it was relevant to the plants current operations. Then she realized the flaw in Weve always done it that way. Underneath the box were the words: Number of air raids today.

For the Graduates. A final exam for the birds

Paul was majoring in zoology at college. One semester he took a course in the study of birds. The night before the final exam, Paul studied until he had the textbook nearly memorized. He knew his class notes backward and forward. He was eager to take the exam, certain of getting a good grade. The morning of the exam, Paul took a seat in the front row of the big auditorium where the class was held. Over 100 students were in the class with him. On a table at the front was arrow of 10 stuffed birds, each one with sack covering its body so that only the legs were showing. The professor announced, For this test, which counts for 80 percent of your final grade, I want you to identify each bird up here by its legs, and then discuss its species, natural habitat, and mating patterns. You may begin. Paul stared at the birds. All the legs looked the same to him. After spending half the exam period in growing frustration as he tried to determine which bird was which, he picked up his exam and threw it on the professors desk, This is ridiculous! he shouted. I studied the textbook and my notes all night, and now youre asking me to name these birds by looking at their legs? Forget it! The professor picked up the exam booklet and saw that it was blank. Whats your name, young man? With that, Paul yanked on leg of his pants up. Why dont you tell me?

Congratulations.May you enjoy your special day and have a wonderful year!

Lets fly away...for the first time since 2007, the Will Rogers
World Airport has added a new nonstop service. United Airlines can now take Oklahoma City passengers nonstop to San Francisco. Tools such as low unemployment, evidence of companies hiring and an increase in per capita income helped the airport staff to make this deal possible. The Chambers economic development staff assisted the airport staff in marketing Oklahoma City to United Airlines. Growing the number of nonstop flights from Oklahoma City is an important part of our economys growth, said Roy H. Williams, Chamber president and CEO. Im confident that as our economy continues to improve and our citys image gains positive momentum, we will be able to add other major cities to the list with San Francisco. The Point

First day of summer...are you ready to celebrate?

Summer begins in 2011 on June 21 with the summer solstice, the day when the Earths axis tilts our northern hemisphere most prominently toward the sun. (In the southern hemisphere, the summer solstice will occur on Dec. 22, 2011.) On this day, the sun will reach its highest point in the sky, and afterward the daylight hours will grow shorter. The solstice has been a time of celebration and ritual in cultures around the world throughout history. At Stonehenge, a visitor standing in the center of the stone circle can see the sun rising directly over the Hell Stone, located just outside the ring of stones. The Egyptian Great Pyramids were built in such a way that an observer standing near the Sphinx can watch the sun set directly between two of the Pyramids. Celts and Slavs celebrated the event with bonfires and dancing to help the sun increase its strengths. The Native American Hopi tribe had males dress as dancing spirits of rain and fertility known as Kachinas; the Kachinas were messengers between humanity and the gods who left the villages at midsummer to live in the mountains where they were said to visit the dead. The ancient Druids belief that the solstice represented the wedding of heaven and Earth is responsible for the tradition of brides planning a lucky June wedding.
