Abercrombie, 72, has say there’s no proof he was January/enero 7, 2011 President Obama said he remembers seeing Obama as a child with his parents at social events, although he acknowledged that he didn’t see his parents with their newborn son at the hospital. The number of requests for Obama’s birth information increased this month as the Obama family prepared to vacation in Hawaii. The Department of Health had received 27 requests for the president’s birth information this month as of last Thursday, up from 16 in November, said spokeswoman Janice Okubo. Information requests rose despite a new state law allowing officials to ignore persistent and repetitive inquiries, a law that has been used about six times by the department, Okubo said. “It’s just a few people, and some of their requests are the same,” she said. “The requests fluctuate from month to month.” Nearly all birth certificate information seekers are from the mainland United States, with requests rarely coming from Hawaii residents, said Cathy Takase, acting director for the state Office of Information Practices. Takase usually responds to appeals for Obama’s birth records by telling requesters that the information they’re seeking is contained in records protected by statute. Dec. 27, 2010 (AP): Wisconsin will soon have its first Latina legislator. JoCasta Zamarripa will be sworn in Jan. 3 as the new state representative from the 8th Assembly District in Milwaukee. Zamarripa, a third-generation Mexican-American, tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that she wishes the milestone would have happened sooner. She takes over for Pedro Colón, now a Milwaukee County circuit judge who held the seat for 12 years. He was the first Latino in state history to serve in the state Legislature. The 34-year-old Zamarripa previously helped Fair Wisconsin’s campaign opposing the 2006 amendment to the state Constitu- tion recognizing marriage as being between one man and one woman. She also worked on Milwaukee’s paid sick days campaign. She’s currently an educator and community outreach coordinator at Planned Parenthood but plans to leave soon.

The Express baseball program offers two separate camp sessions on Monday (Jan. 17). The morning session will focus on infield and outfield positions and take place from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m., while the afternoon session will concentrate on pitching and catching skills and occur from 12:30-3:30 p.m. Both camp sessions take place in the College’s Student Health and Activities Center on the Toledo-area Campus. Owens is located on Oregon Road in Perrysburg Township. Youth ages 7-13 will be divided by age groups and receive individual instruction on baseball skills, which will include an evaluation of each player’s hitting, pitching, throwing and defensive techniques. Attendees will learn about custom exercises for baseball and gain tips on improving their hitting and pitching. Owens men’s baseball program finished the 2010 season with a 35-20 overall record and in third place in the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (4-8 record). The Express lost to Vincennes University in the NJCAA Re- gion XII Baseball Championships. Parents and coaches are invited to attend the camp to listen and observe at no additional charge. Participants are encouraged to wear baseball pants or sweats, T-shirts and tennis/cross training shoes. Attendees should bring their own baseball glove, bat, helmet, and catcher’s equipment. The camp fee for each session is $45 per player or $80 per player for individuals interested in attending two sessions.

Free Annual Wellness visit and preventive services made available for Medicare beneficiaries as part of Health Reform Law January 2, 2011: U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH)—as part of his statewide tour— announced at a press conference today at the Monroe Street United Methodist Church in Toledo that Ohio seniors receiving Medicare can now receive free preventive health screenings with no co-payments or deductibles. As part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) – the new health reform law –Medicare beneficiaries will also receive free annual wellness check-ups and 50 percent discounts on brand-name drugs and biologics in the Medicare prescription drug coverage gap, also known as the “donut hole.” “I have heard from so many Ohio seniors struggling with rising health care and prescription drug costs – seniors who are cutting pills in half, or skipping doses altogether, because prices are simply unaffordable. Ohio seniors shouldn’t have to worry about how they’re going to afford doctor visits on top of prescription drug costs, and this bill works to ensure that they don’t have to,” Brown said. “These new Medicare benefits will remove financial barriers to care and enable Ohio seniors enrolled in Medicare to receive free annual wellness checkups and preventive screenings, and this new law will help alleviate the expensive costs seniors must endure when they enter the ‘donut hole.’ While the majority of PPACA will not take effect until 2014, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), approximately 1.8 million Ohio seniors will be eligible in 2011 for free preventive services and free annual wellness check-ups as a result of the new health reform law. Below are some of the preventive services that will be free for Medicare beneficiaries beginning Jan 2011: • Screening for colorectal cancer in adults, beginning at age 50 years and continuing until age 75 years; • Osteoporosis screening for women aged 65 and older; & • Mammography screening for women every 1-2 years for women aged 40 and older. Nearly 100,000 Ohio seniors entered the “donut hole”—a gap in prescription drug coverage in the Medicare Part D program—last year. In 2010, seniors who entered the “donut hole” received $250 rebate checks to assist with the prescription drug costs. Beginning in Jan 2011, the new health care law will provide Medicare beneficiaries with 50 percent discounts on brand-name drugs and biologics in the “donut hole.” Discounts will increase every year until 2020, when the “donut hole” will be closed altogether. On the Internet: www.healthcare.gov Paper Tiger for the DREAM Act Op Ed by David G. Arredondo, January 3, 2011, Lorain, Ohio Ever since the Democraticcontrolled Senate failed to vote on the DREAM Act December 18, 2010, thus ensuring its failure, there has been no shortage of vitriolic criticism aimed at Ohio Senator George Voinovich and other Republican members of Congress for failing to pass the Dream Act. For the record, 38 Democratic representatives, including four Ohio Democrats, voted against it, In the Senate, five Democrats voted against cloture. Latino advocates of amnesty and illegal immigration need to take an honest look at who is to blame for the demise of the Dream Act and Comprehensive Immigration Reform. From 2007 to 2010 when the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, they never saw fit to bring the DREAM Act to a vote until this current Lame Duck session. During the 111th Congress, neither House nor Senate, both overwhelmingly controlled by Democrats, held one committee hearing on the DREAM Act. Zero! ¡Nada! They never sought Republican input or amendments to the bill. Although the DREAM Act vote came in the Lame Duck session of congress after the November election, I find it interesting to see which Democrats actually voted against it even though they had nothing to lose. These would be: John Boccieri, Zack Space, and Charlie Wilson, Ohio Democrats who lost their seats and who had nothing to lose by voting “Yes.” The same applies to Michigan Demo- Celebrate the 25th Lights Before Christmas —Now thru December 31. 25 years… One million lights… One dazzling display.

Locally, Hispanic voters need to get an answer from Toledo/Lorain congresswoman Marcy Kaptur who also voted “No” on the DREAM Act. Why did CIR and the DREAM Act fail this year? The number one reason was Democratic, not Republican opposition which was to be expected. While President Obama was not opposed to passage of this legislation, it was not a priority either by giving it mere lip service during his State of the Union speech last year. And that’s the message he gave to the so-called Hispanic leadership and media— ”you’re free to push it but I’m not going to carry your water.” That same message was well taken by Congress, especially the 255 House Democrats who were up for election this year. With 255 votes in the House, 59 in the Senate, and a President who would have signed the bill, what was the problem? The problem was THE DEMOCRATS. Wake up Latino leader, the problem is not the Republicans the problem then and now are the DEMOCRATS. Yep, the same ones who keep disrespecting you while you continue to put all your eggs in their basket. There is no such thing as a monolithic “Latino Vote.” No leader, group, or organization can deliver any significant number of Latino voters one way or another. Latinos tend to vote Democratic due to the nature of their socio-economic status, education, place of residence, and values. As recently as 2004, Republican George Bush received 40% of the Latino vote. In 2008, Barack Obama earned 68 percent of the Latino vote. Republicans could adopt CIR as an issue and David Arredondo they STILL WOULD NOT GET an appreciable percentage of the Latino vote. Republicans continue to be demonized by Latino leadership and media as being antiimmigrant when the fact is that Republicans are anti-ILLEGAL immigrant and favor enforcement of existing laws such as penalizing those employers who hire illegal workers. It is unlikely that liberal Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) will be introduced in the Republican-led Congress over the next two years. What is more likely is that individual states will introduce legislation like Arizona’s which is designed to enforce current federal immigration laws, regardless of the ethnicity of the violator. The DREAM Act was a flawed piece of partisan legislation that failed to pass due to Democratic negligence and indifference. The recent vote was an exercise in political theater designed to cast Democrats as heroes versus Republicans as villains to the Latino electorate. This is all the more reason for both parties to work at replacing the currently broken immigration system with one that attracts the best and the brightest, not your tired and poor. NOTE: David G. Arredondo is a political writer, media analyst, and Political Action co-Chairman of the Lorain County Coalition for Hispanic/ Latino Issues and Progress.

La Prensa—Michigan Página 4 The Detroit College Promise registers over 12,000 students Jan. 4, 2011: The Detroit College Promise has registered over 12,000 Detroit Public School students, including over 4,000 seniors, for its Kalamazoo Promise type program. This is the first year the program was district-wide, and registration exceeded the goal of 5,000 students. Other than registering by the deadline of December 1, 2010, the only requirements for its scholarships are that students attend a Detroit Public School and live in Detroit continuously from December 1, 2010 through graduation. Eight DPS high schools registered 80% or more of their students, including: Cody- ACT, Cody-APL, Cody-DIT, Cody-MCH, Davis Aerospace, Northwestern, Osborn-College Prep, and Osborn-MST.The Detroit College Promise is the largest private scholarship program in Michigan, offering scholarships to all 75,000 DPS students. The scholarships are for tuition at any Michigan public college or university, and are valid for up to 10 years from high school graduation. The amount of the scholarship for graduating seniors is announced each spring, based on funds raised privately.Dr. Nat Pernick, Executive Director, praised the assistance of DPS staff. “We are very grateful to the dedicated DPS teachers, counse- lors and principals. Although overworked, they made a huge effort to sign up students for The Detroit College Promise because they believe their students deserve this opportunity for success.”To maximize funding for the scholarships, The Detroit College Promise is currently conducting its annual drive. Every dollar collected is used exclusively for scholarships, as 100% of overhead is paid by sponsors. Donations can be made online at www.DetroitCollegePromise.org, or by calling 248/646-3269.

Such pieces were made to adorn palaces and communicate powerful messages about nationhood, political authority and legitimacy. Among a display of pottery are some of the DIA’s oldest objects. A collarnecked jar from Anatolia (Turkey) painted with a geometric design is approximately 7000 years old. Two objects from Iran, a conical dish decorated with cheetahs and a footed cup painted with stags, are around 5000 years old. The colors, forms, patterns and images on such works were developed by potters to express symbolic ideas about their world. Other objects include: reliefs carved in limestone from the royal palace at Persepolis, Iran, showing court servants carrying items to a royal feast, and a head of a Persian spearman; alabaster burial stones from ancient Yemen; ceramics from ancient Anatolia; coins, glassware, and a silver spoon and dish from the Sasanian Empire in Iran; and a belt with reliefs of animals and winged gods from Urartu, a kingdom to which Armenians trace their ancestry. The new gallery is centrally located in a basilicalike space that was subdivided for a variety of purposes during the past 30 years, including offices and storage space. This installation is the first phase of the new gallery, and is supported by a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts with matching funds from the Ernest and Rosemarie Kanzler Foundation Fund. Further funding is being sought to complete subsequent installations.

The large, ornate work in black Murano glass has been installed in Gallery 5 of the Glass Pavilion ®. “Fred Wilson is an important artist whose work crosses boundaries between the glass world and contemporary art,” said TMA Director Brian Kennedy. “One of the Museum’s goals is to acquire works of art of singular merit by distinguished living artists. Iago’s Mirror is a perfect fit within our comprehensive glass collection.” Wilson was born in the Bronx, New York in 1954. He received a BFA from SUNY/Purchase where he was the only African American student in his program. A conceptual artist with a focus on social justice, he returns, with this object, to a common thread within his work: a meditation on themes in Shakespeare’s Othello. Iago is the jealous vil- lain of the story who sets about destroying his “friend” Othello, a black man, through the deliberate sowing of jealousy and suspicion that his wife is unfaithful. When Iago looks in the mirror, all he sees is blackness—in this case, the blackness of his own soul. Wilson was introduced to glass as a medium in 2001 during a residency at the Pilchuck Glass School. In 2009 he worked with Berengo Studios in Venice, Italy to develop a process for layering mirrors together while preserving the intricate details of a traditional 18thcentury Murano mirror. To create the dark reflection cast by Iago’s Mirror, the back side is colored black rather than silver. Black glass is the most difficult to create and always has a colored hue, here a deep purple.

He has said of the piece, “I like the fact that it is beautiful yet not comforting.” “Iago’s Mirror ties in beautifully with the Museum’s glass collection,” said Jutta Page, curator of glass and decorative arts. “Glass mirrors are an important aspect of luxury glass production since the Renaissance, and Venetian mirrors especially—which had to be imported and were precarious to ship due to their size—were and still are the epitome of such luxury home furnishings.” On the Internet: www.toledomuseum.org Page 5 Toledo Zoo presents Lights Before Christmas Encore Presentation Twenty-five years… One million lights… One more chance!

Denying old hurts and pretending life couldn’t be better isn’t fooling anyone but you. Coming to terms with yourself will involve getting real. TAURUS: APRIL 21 - MAY 20 The formality of things and the importance of showing up well in public has tied your spirit to a whole new ball game. This isn’t you, but it’s obviously up to you to find a way to bring yourself to the situation. GEMINI: MAY 21 - JUNE 20 This cage you’ve created will start to feel too small sooner than you think. You’ve traded your freedom for security without realizing that when you bind yourself to someone else’s expectations you lose it all. CANCER: JUNE 21 - JULY 20 Life gets easier when we disengage from toxic situations and people. Your decision to cut out all the dead wood has changed things completely. Now that you’re out of the woods, where do you want to go from here? LEO: JULY 21 - AUGUST 20 You can’t get beyond this until you clear up the past. Moving on will involve telling those you love that you’ve just about had it. Don’t let their needs and expectations override your desire to grow and evolve. VIRGO: AUGUST 21 - SEPTEMBER 20 Your spirit knows what you need but your ego doesn’t want to hear it. It’s too bad because this could be a tough lesson. You’re about to find out that it doesn’t serve you to keep trying to be something that you’re not. LIBRA: SEPTEMBER 21 - OCTOBER 20 You can keep smiling about things but you’re having a hard time with this. Its times like these that that make us wish we could tell it like it is. Feel free to ahead and speak up; it’ll quell all of your doubts and fears. Columbia Gas of Ohio begins meter readings Columbia Gas has announced the next phase of the Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system, as monthly meter readings commenced on January 3, 2011 across the Northwest Ohio Operating area, virtually eliminating the need to calculate customers’ gas consumption every other month. The Northwest Ohio service area includes the communities of: Toledo, Sylvania, Holland, Maumee, Perrysburg, Rossford, Oregon, Northwood, Walbridge, Millbury, Curtice, Clay Center, Genoa, Elmore, and Woodville. Approximately 180,000 natural gas meters across the Northwest Ohio Operating area have been upgraded with new AMR devices. The installation took approximately 18 months to complete and reflects a $9 million investment in Northwest Ohio. The AMR system uses radio technology to automatically read the meter from a vehicle. As Happy Birthday SCORPIO: OCTOBER 21 - NOVEMBER 20 How far do you think you can push this? In your efforts to make something happen you’ve forgotten that your will isn’t all there is to it.

If it’s hard for you to believe that anything could come together this easily, the best things in life always show up with no interference. the specially equipped vehicle drives by, it sends a signal to the AMR, which in turn transmits the meter reading data to a computer in the vehicle. The AMR is powered by its own longlife battery and does not draw from a home’s electrical system. Columbia Gas is implementing the AMR system, with monthly meter readings, statewide. Currently the company is on pace to have all 1.4 million meters in their service territory complete within fiveyears. The AMRs are part of a series of upgrades as part of our Doing More for You commitment. These advancements are designed to enhance our services, and include Simple Energy Solutions, Riser Replacement Program and Customer Service Line Replacement. Happy Birthday JOHNNY MOLINA January 1 January 4 SAGITTARIUS: NOVEMBER 21 - DECEMBER 20 You haven’t got the energy for this. It’s OK to accept the fact that you can’t handle it. Take a break and figure out how to delegate half of what you’re doing so you can focus on the things that actually matter to you. CAPRICORN: DECEMBER 21 - JANUARY 20 When the truth has been hidden for this long, telling it is ten times harder. Too bad you waited. Now that you have no other choice, it’s time to figure out what’ll you’ll do when others go ballistic over this. January/enero 7, 2011 Start the New Year off right: Donate blood! By resolving to donate blood or platelets in the coming year, you can help save the lives of the one out of 10 hospital patients who need blood for emergency or ongoing medical care. Your frequent donations through the American Red Cross can help keep the nation’s blood supply strong and ensure that blood is available anywhere and anytime it’s needed. “A resolution to donate blood in the New Year works on so many levels,” said Kathy Smith, Collections Director for the Western Lake Erie Region of the American Red Cross. “Your donation can make a difference to hospital patients, their family and friends, and the larger community. Your act of giving, too, can make you feel good about helping to save the day.” According to i t s press release, when you donate through the Red Cross, you’ll join about 4 million blood donors nationwide in a lifesaving cause. Blood is used for the treatment of cancer patients, people with blood disorders, premature infants, transplant recipients, trauma victims and more. And while most of us will probably know someone in our lifetime who needs blood, just 38 percent of people are eligible to give. “Blood donors help provide the gift of life for patients with serious medical needs,” said Smith. “When you come to give blood, you’re performing a vital community service that only someone like you can do.” Accurate Ceiling & Wall LLC Residential & Commercial Fully Insured DRYWALL HANGING & FINISHING DEMO & REMODELING EIFS / DRYVIT Armando Duran 419.343.2043 GROGAN'S TOWNE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE Come celebrate Pastor Chaz D.

Wood County Health Department Expands Services December 29, 2010: The Wood County Health Department now issues birth certificates for anyone born in Ohio after 1907.

Office hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The cost is $23.

Entre los logros que el Presidente Felipe Calderón destacó de la Cumbre de Cambio Climático está la de adoptar acciones que pongan en marcha los compromisos que se asumieron, en 1992, al suscribir la Convención Marco, hace casi ya 20 años. Por primera vez, en el seno de estas Convenciones, “hemos acordado establecer la meta común de mantener el incremento de la temperatura promedio global por debajo de los dos grados centígrados. Es una clara expresión de responsabilidad colectiva”. Agregó que los acuerdos de Cancún se traducirán en una reducción de emisiones de bióxido de carbono, “no sólo mayor, sino varias veces mayor a la comprometida hasta ahora en el Acuerdo de Kyoto”. Cancún también fue fructífero al haber creado nuevos esquemas de apoyo en favor de los países pobres, de los países en desarrollo, especialmente de los más vulnerables y menos adelantados, para que puedan hacer el enorme gasto de adaptación que implica el cambio climático. México se compromete a establecer por su cuenta, en el marco de este acuerdo, un Centro de Investigación sobre Desarrollo Sustentable y Cambio Climático, que pueda servir para generar y transferir tecnología a los países en desarrollo de nuestra región de América Latina y el Caribe. Cancún ha sido un logro, porque finalmente se formalizó la transferencia de un primer paquete de 30 mil millones de dólares para acciones inmediatas de aquí al 2012. Por otro lado, el Fondo Verde movilizará los 100 mil millones de dólares anuales, a partir del 2020, para acciones de mitigación y adaptación en países en desarrollo. Además se logró la adopción de mecanismos para reducir las emisiones por deforestación y degradación de suelos “Con los mecanismos aprobados, esto es fundamental, se les podrán dar finalmente recursos económicos a esas comunidades forestales, a esas comunidades indígenas, para preservar sus bosques y selvas”, explicó. Los mecanismos de REDD Plus son un paso importantísimo en la lucha contra el cambio climático y combate a la pobreza. “Con esta Conferencia, tenemos la oportunidad de empezar a construir una nueva historia en la que crecimiento económico, superación de la pobreza y cuidado del medio ambiente sean realmente compatibles”, concluyó.

Una vez que la aerolínea presentó la declaración de bancarrota ante un tribunal de Tokio, el gobierno japonés presentó un plan de reestructuración para que la empresa pudiera seguir operando. Media News Group Inc. La empresa matriz de MediaNews Group Inc., que incluye los diarios The Denver Post y San José Mercury News, se declaró en bancarrota el 16 de enero de 2010, al amparo de acreedores. La declaración de quiebra del grupo representó la bancarrota número 13 de diarios estadounidenses durante 2009 y principios de este año. Blockbuster La mayor compañía de renta de videos en el mundo, se declaró en quiebra el pasado 23 de septiembre. La cadena, con sede en Dallas, arrastraba una deuda de más de 900 millones de dólares y presentaba problemas para adaptarse a las nuevas condiciones del mercado, en el que los consumidores prefieren sus computadoras para descargar películas en vez de rentarlas. Metro Goldwyn Mayer El estudio fílmico Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer se declaró en quiebra el pasado 3 de noviembre, como parte de un plan de reorganización que le ayudaría a deshacerse de más de cuatro mil millones de dólares en deuda. MGM cuenta con un plan de bancarrota que buscará acortar su estancia en el capítulo 11, por lo que espera la confirmación de su plan de reorganización a finales de 2010. Metrofinanciera Metrofinanciera fue declarada en Concurso mercantil el 9 de junio de 2010, bajo acuerdo previo entre dueños y acreedores. Esta decisión era contemplada meses antes por los acreedores, entre los que figuran inversionistas institucionales en la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores y la Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal. En tanto se tomó la decisión, 300 desarrolladores dejaron de recibir el dinero correspondiente a líneas de crédito para la construcción de vivienda nueva; 570 empleados mantuvieron sus puestos de trabajo. Comercial Mexicana La cadena de tiendas de autoservicio Comercial Mexicana anunció solicitó a las autoridades iniciar un concurso mercantil en junio pasado. El acuerdo fue aprobado en su asamblea de accionistas del 11 de junio “para instrumentar la reestructuración financiera acordada con la mayoría de las instituciones financieras y otros acreedores involucrados en el proceso”. Mexicana de Aviación La entrada oficial de Mexicana de Aviación al concurso mercantil se dio el ocho de septiembre de 2010, con lo que suspendió de forma indefinida sus operaciones, tras un mes de disminución de vuelos y cancelaciones. La compañía aérea detalló que el monto del pasivo de deuda de todo el corporativo asciende a 500 millones de dólares. Hasta ahora la Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT) contempla tres propuestas (TG Group, BCM y PC Capital) para un posible rescate de la aerolínea e insiste en la posibilidad de que Mexicana de Aviación vuelva a operar en diciembre o principios del próximo año.

Durante la visita de Dai Bingguo de dos días la semana pasada, ambas partes reafirmaron la necesidad de evitar que se produzca un empeoramiento, destacó la portavoz de la Cancillería, Jiang Yu. Las tensiones se intensificaron en la región después de un ataque de artillería norcoreano que mató a cuatro personas en una isla surcoreana el mes pasado, tras lo cual la comunidad internacional exhortó a China a controlar a su antiguo aliado. “Las dos partes creen que ambos deberían mantenerse calmados y ejercer el control, adoptar una actitud responsable a fin de evitar un empeoramiento en las tensiones, tener un papel constructivo en respetar la salvaguarda de la paz y la estabilidad de la península’’, indicó Jiang a los periodistas en una conferencia de prensa cotidiana. China ha estado sometida a una creciente presión por parte de Estados Unidos y otros a fin de que use su influencia como el más importante aliado de Corea del Norte para aplacar el comportamiento de Pyongyang. Beijing, que suministra vital ayuda de alimentos y combustible a Pyonyang, ha respondido que no iba a presionar al Norte de una manera que pueda ser desestabilizadora, temiendo el colapso del régimen y una ola de refugiados a través de su frontera hacia el noreste de China. China que combatió del lado de las fuerzas norcoreanas durante la guerra de Corea en 1950-53, también siente cautela ante la unificación de la península coreana bajo un Gobierno pro estadounidense con sede en el sur.

Studies have confirmed that attitude is a better predictor of success than I.Q., education and most other factors. LCCC’s Transitions will explore the power of positive thinking at their next meeting at 7 p.m., Monday, January 10, 2011 in room 207/208 of the Spitzer Conference Center on the Lorain County Community College campus. Popular seminar trainer and coach Kim Langley kicks off the New Year with “The Science of Optimism: Fostering a ‘Can do Attitude.” Langley, president of LifeBalance Enterprises, Inc., will provide a lifechanging guide grounded in extensive clinical research, and yet so practical that it is sure to motivate job seekers. Langley will share how to acquire more optimism and boost mood. She will also share how you can change your “interior dialogue,” which can positively influence everything from professional success, to self-esteem, and the ability to stick to your goals. A much sought after speaker, Langley conducts more than 100 seminars annually for corporations, health care organizations, libraries, schools, agencies and associations. A professional trainer with more than 20 years of experience, Langley is also an adjunct faculty member and continuing education facilitator for area colleges and universities including Case Western Reserve University, Notre Dame College, and Cleveland State University.
