---- — PLATTSBURGH — Tammy Trombley and Holly Smith were each battling weight-control problems, and both Plattsburgh women found a helping hand at Behavioral Health Services North.
Through its Personalized Recovery Oriented Services (PROS) Program, BHSN introduced Trombley, Smith and several other local residents to Healthy Bodies/Healthy Minds, a service that connects mental health and physical health to improve the overall health of clients.
"Focusing on the whole person is really important when trying to address mental-health issues," said Rheta Recore, a senior rehab practitioner and licensed mental-health counselor for BHSN.
"It's been well documented that people have decreased symptoms of depression when incorporating healthy diets and exercise into their lifestyle.
"In our program, we talk about how someone can make small changes (to promote a healthy lifestyle) and feel better both mentally and physically."
Healthy Bodies/Healthy Minds has done just that for Trombley and Smith.
"I've been struggling with my weight my entire life," said Trombley, who said she once gained 175 pounds while she was taking a prescription medication.
"When I was depressed, I liked to eat junk food, drink soda. I became so overweight that I would wear men's clothes to hide my weight problem."
She joined Healthy Bodies/Healthy Minds a year ago and began to take the "small steps" that the group promotes as the most successful way to gain results.
She and a friend tried to sign up for the Plattsburgh Biggest Loser contest last December but were not chosen for that round. A caseworker then hooked Trombley up with a personal trainer, and she soon saw positive results in her weight-loss efforts.
She has lost 65 pounds since December and has set a goal to lose 50 more. She feels much better physically and has gained self-confidence from the weight loss.
"It's a good feeling when I get compliments from everybody," she said.
Smith's weight problem was so severe that she looked into having lap-band surgery to restrict the amount of food she could eat. Doctors told her she could not qualify for the procedure unless she lost 50 pounds.
"My friend told me that if I could lose 50 pounds (without the surgery), then I could lose more weight on my own," she said.
Over the next seven years, she was able to lose 288 pounds.
"I hit a plateau and wasn't losing weight anymore," she said of the time when weight loss seemed to abandon her. "I was getting depressed. I wanted to stay in my bedroom, didn't want to leave."
That's when she joined Healthy Bodies/Healthy Minds, which has also helped her aim for weight loss through small steps. She has lost an additional 45 pounds since then.
"I'd like to try to get out into the community more," she said of the confidence she has gained. "I'm trying not to isolate myself. I feel a lot better about myself, a lot better that I don't have all that weight."
The program has about 14 clients who support one another in reaching for their goals.
"One reason it has worked so well is that everyone encourages one another," Recore said. "When one client doesn't reach a certain goal, the others nudge them forward with support.
"When they do (reach a goal), there is active applause."
The PROS Program offers a variety of services for community members with mental illness.
"We help people go to work or school, help them achieve goals of their own choosing," said Shawn Sabella, director of the PROS Learning Center at the BHSN Center for Wellbeing.
"A lot of our focus is to balance mental health and physical health."
Email Jeff Meyers:email@example.com
Behavioral Health Services North will host We Are You (2), an afternoon of fun-filled activities from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday at the Center for Well-Being, 2155 State Route 22B, Morrisonville, across from the Clinton County Fairgrounds, to promote awareness of mental illness and to reduce the stigma that surrounds it.
The event emphasizes the need to recognize people with mental illness as part of the overall community. It will feature success stories by individuals who have overcome barriers and a presentation on famous people with mental illness.
The event will include the 1-K Steps to Success Wellness Walk, which will be held at the new outdoor recreation facility, located behind the former St. Alexander's Elementary School. It is free and open to the public.
For more information on the PROS program, call 563-8000.

On a side note I am temporarily a hawks fan
Because Bynum WILL decide where he plays, not us, lol.
According to ESPN "Rivers didn't rule out pursuing center Andrew Bynum, who was released by the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday and is expected to sign with a team soon. "I won't say. I'm playing poker right now," Rivers said. "I can't say. We do talk about everyone but I do like our team, though. I really do so I tread very cautiously with change"
Sounds to me like he will not make a fast decision. I do not believe Bynum will play for the amount of money we can pay him any how. I think he will go we're the money is.
If he wanted the $$ he would have stayed in Cleveland and played with LeBron
@ESPNSteinLine: Andrew Bynum latest: Hear Clips leaning away from idea of signing Bynum for now AND that Indy is among teams to express exploratory interest
If the Pacers and Heat or interested that means Bynum is a big time deal! He could probably change the Championship layout for teams! He is a big talent! Clips have no big DEPTH WHATSOEVER! BYNUM IS NOT ONLY WANTED BUT NEEDED
Safe to say that for Doc, character is a big determining factor when acquiring a player.
If Indy gets Bynum they're in the Finals. If Miami gets Bynum they're in the Finals.
We need to swoop in.
How we ended up with duds.
If we don't end up with Bynum, I hope no one in the west ends up with him neither.
@ESPNSteinLine: Pacers, I'm told, have NOT made a formal offer to Andrew Bynum. But they were among original eight teams to call Bynum's camp this week
@ESPNSteinLine: Sense is Pacers' interest here is more about keeping Bynum away from Miami than actually bringing Bynum in to test their treasured chemistry
Wow. To pick him up for the sole reason of keeping him away from Miami. Well, that'll keep Bynum happy and well behaved, I'm sure.
Okay Indy, we'll sign Bynum so Miami can't if you just trade Ian Mahinmi for Mullens. K, deal?
Really would like to know the reasoning behind backing off Bynum. Front office has to know the fans would understand if he won't buy in it would be nice if confirmed.
I'm 99.9% sure the hesitation is Bynum's history of bad attitude. Not saying I would agree with NOT picking him up. Just saying that's got to be the reasoning here.
Does anybody have a timetable on Okafor? Last I heard was January is the earliest he could come back.
I have a feeling we are waiting for him to get healthy and waived. His attitude is astronomically better than Bynum's, but his skill is not. He's still really really good for a back up and was teammates with Chris already.
Depends if they don''t like his attitude after talking to him and telling him his role then fine. If Doc and crew are still doing this without even trying to talk to him then there should be some fan backlash. Don't really care about history its about what he will do here and if he buys in off the bench. Front office made the bench big problem they need to fix it.
Yeah i'd rather take omeka than bynum.. I don't think bynum is ready to be a second stringer and his attitude really blows
Bynum is the real deal and Omeka still not playing and injured.
This is what makes me not want the POS on our team:
src="//www.youtube.com/embed/d12YVBOrP00" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
I don't care how good he MIGHT be for us, that type of **** doesn't belong with this group.
Edit: OMG I can never get youtube embed right. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d12YVBOrP00
^ Bynum is a little f*cker no doubt about it. I'm not proud about it, but I like winning more than I care about having a perfect locker room.
Last year we had the best group of good guys any team could ever ask for and look where that got us.
NO............Bynum doesn't want to play ball and has degenerative knee cartilage problems like B.Roy.
YES............If he'll pay for the minimum and Doc can sort his attitude he is a 7' with skills and we only want him for backup so how can we lose.
Both pretty persuasive arguments but on what little info I have I would say NO!
Yeah it's a classic example of loving a guy's game, but weighing that out with his shenanigans. Are his shenanigans BIGGER than his advantages? Do we want a guy like that in the locker room? I must admit, that's a tough one.
But with his injuries and his lack of motivation will his game be any good?
I like a little nastiness. And I even think it's necessary to go all the way. But not necessarily that kind of nastiness. But it's not even the effect ON the court that has me apprehensive. It's the locker room. But again, Doc's the kind of guy who should be able to nip that in the bud. Meh, like I said....tough one.
Good question. I guess the idea is that even a bad Bynum is better than what we have now backing up DJ and Blake.
That might be my favorite sentence ever formed.
Wake up people, Bynum has had more than enough chances and time to prove his emotional and maturity levels. And you think he is going to change or all of a sudden be a different person, do not be suckered into a false fantasy. The man has maxed as a person to this date, his next growth as a person will be much later in life when he looks back on what could have been. Do not ruin our chemistry with this cancer of an attitude.
I can't help but feel like there's SOMEBODY of value somewhere else. Europe? D-League? Some hidden jewel. Don't ask me who. I don't get paid to scout them. lol
Andrew Bynum's best all around year he averaged 18.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks.
Chris Kaman's best all around year he averaged 15.7 points, 12.7 rebounds, 2.8 blocks.
Just throwing that out there!
A nice way of saying,com'on man, this guy is nuts. We don't need someone that is nuts and plays when they want to, not when they have to.
I don't think Bynum truly ever respected Mike Brown though. Only thing I think Bynum was hoping on was playing with Kyrie and crew they could all take the next big step.
ODOM! I think I would rather take Odom and everything that comes with him than Bynum right now! I think Doc would rather have Lamar to! They said Lamar should be ready by mid-January and it looks like he is looking to really get back on track
"Lamar may not be taking shots on the basketball court but he's taking a big shot at getting his life back on track in 2014. Lamar really wants to change so he started seeing a 'life therapist' after his painful split from Khloe, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY." - Jan 9 2014
The only common denominator is that we do not know where all these guys are mentally and physically! Bynum - Mental Issues and Knee Issues Odom - Life Issues Okafor - Physical Issues
Odom would probably be the safest bet right now! You sign Odom and while Chris is out you can have someone run the point for the second unit! Odom is a capable ball-handler! I SAY SIGN ODOM! Safest Option - Doc Wants Him - Many Clippers Want Him - He was a big part of our success last season! We all know Odom is better than the disappointments in Mullens and Jamison! I SAY ODOM!
Please people understand that if we will take Bynum, he is just a back up and pick up some minutes from blake and DJ snd if he will show some bad attitude Doc will just put him in the locker room, he can't affect DJ performance, but if he can perform better that a big plus for us.
If Kaman just didn't struggle so much with making enough shots, lol. Bynum probably shot like 10% better from the field than Kaman.
That was the year Brand got injured right?
ClipperKyle, is Odom really the "safest" option though?
True, but Kaman's better offensively than Hollins, and solid against other bench players. It'll never happen anyway, but just a perspective thing.
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/ ... rew-bynum/
If Bynum will go to indiana, then goodbye Miami, they have already problem with Hibbert and if Bynum will be in their line up they are unstoppable. If we can't pick up Bynum i hope we can make a trade, mullens for kaman or Jordan hill from flakers.
I do not think they will trade with us......not after the but whooping and ass-kicking of a life time.
I would take either if they did. CK just needs to rebound and defend and hit jumpers. He WILL not handle the ball here.
Hill will bring energy and hustle.
Wondering if Bynum will even play. He still hasn't been picked up by anyone... One would have to question.
He is the "safest BET" we are betting on all these players - Odom , Bynum , Okafor!
Okafor and Bynums issues are physical! Odom issues are just his life! Out of all of those players I would say Odom is the safest BET , but that could change when I see Okafor get some minutes
am 40/60 about getting Bynum. 40 yes and 60 no.
but we will only have him for a while. our roster would be good with him and Dj likes to joke around too so
According to ESPN "The race to sign Andrew Bynum appears to be unfolding a slower pace than Bynum hoped. The 26-year-old became a free agent Thursday night after clearing waivers, but the latest rumbles on the league's personnel grapevine suggest that more teams are backing away from the idea as opposed to gambling on the talented but undependable 7-footer.
According to ESPN "Sources on Sunday that the Los Angeles Clippers, long presumed to be one of Bynum's primary suitors, are leaning against the prospect of signing the enigmatic former Los Angeles Laker."
As the old saying goes, be carefully of what you wish for. It looks like now that Bynum is available, all the teams are stepping back and rethinking is he worth the gamble.
I would rather Okafor. I would love to have him as our backup big, and best of all adding a non-Laker player is a better approach
This is crazy he should if been signed.
We need a good positive attitude on this team not a headache !! Doc rivers preaches the team concept , and nothing about Andrews gm or atitude is about the team !! Not worth the money or the gamble !!
When you have a chance to get a player like Andrew Bynum for the minimum, you do it. I don't know how much longer I can stomach watching Jamison, Hollins, and Mullens as our main bigs off the bench. We desperately need a 3rd big off the bench and adding Bynum can get us over the hump.
just read on realgm that the heat aren't interested in bynum because they have a lot invested in oden.
i can't post links yet
If we will get Bynum we don't need Mullens but i don't know if Doc wants him or he is waiting for Odom.
it is definitely not that cut and dry.
I keep hearing that he wants more than the minimum
we don't even know if he really does want to come here
who knows if he will be ok playing backup minutes. especially when he will be backing up a guy that plays 35+ minutes a game
he is never healthy
he has been a cancer everywhere he has gone
with that being said, i do want bynum. It is just not as simple as it sounds.
Bynum stops himself, he shoots 42% and isn't able to defend transition or pick and roll. I like Bosh and Anderson's chances of guarding Bynum a lot better than his chances at guarding them.
I'd love Bynum on an opposing team in the playoffs, Jordan would runs circles around his slow lazy butt.
^why didn't that happen when we played against him last month? Haha Bynum is good you guys. Stop playing

Panos Mourdoukoutas, Contributor
I cover global markets, business and investment strategy
Chinese companies have yet to gain the respect of institutional investors. That's the finding of a just released Barron's survey of the World's Most Respected Companies. The top of the list is filled mostly with American companies like Apple Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), IBM IBM (NYSE:IBM), McDonald's (NYSE:MCD), Amazon.com Amazon.com (NYSE:AMZN), and Caterpillar Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT); and Japanese companies like Toyota (NYSE:TM) and Honda (NYSE: HMC). Only three Chinese companies, China Mobile China Mobile (NYSE:CHL), CNOOC (NYSE:CEO), and China Construction (HKSE:0939 HK)) made it near the bottom of the list.
Though the survey doesn't give any specific reasons for the low ranking of the Chinese companies, it does provide the five most important attributes that help companies gain respect among institutional investors: strong management, sound business strategy, ethical business practices, competitive edge, and revenue and profit growth. Obviously, Chinese corporations are lagging behind their American and European counterparts in all these attributes, for four reasons: First, China has yet to develop a sound management system. By and large, Chinese corporations are under the direct or indirect control of the government that continues to decide which company will be in what business and for how long. This is especially the case in large state oligopolies, where the government remains the largest stockholder, and managent often lacks the skills, the incentives, and the freedom to adjust inputs and outputs to changing market conditions. Second, government mandates and ever-changing business rules undermine the ability of Chinese corporations to innovate and to adopt new business models. Third, Chinese corporations have yet to develop a modern capitalist mindset, whereby corporations exist to create value for consumers and the society at large rather than to enrich their owners, often party bosses and government bureaucrats. Fourth, China has yet to create a clear and transparent accounting system that will assure investors that corporate numbers are what they look to be.
The bottom line: Corporate respect isn't a tangible endowment that comes with partial or outright private ownership. It is an intangible asset acquired with managerial, entrepreneurial, and social excellence.
Also read The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Side of Globalization
"The bottom line: Corporate respect isn't a tangible endowment that comes with partial or outright private ownership. It is an intangible asset acquired with managerial, entrepreneurial, and social excellence."
I disagree almost entirely. Corporate respect is a VERY tangible asset that is acquired with managerial, entrepreneurial, and social excellence. The problem for China is that is has not acquired that tangible asset YET. I am sure that it will.
Respect is earned, and I am confident that China and Chinese businesses will earn respect as time goes on. Their socio/political economic system is a bit behind, but companies like Foxconn (OK, put their headquarters wherever your like), pairing with aspirational, very democratic/capitalistic business partners like Apple will drive that revolution forward. I don't believe that the path will be easy, but I do believe that it will be traveled.
I feel like a factor in this could be because of China's relatively short period of industrialization compared to other nations like the United States and Japan, both of which underwent their industrial revolutions decades before China did. Even if companies like Apple might have started at a similar time as the Chinese companies, Apple had a firmer American system of business to build off of while the Chinese were still building the skeletal structure of their economy. I feel like the tide may turn – at least slightly – as China becomes more established.
I partly agree with you.
China and some chinese companies are still very young. They are growing, learning, improving. Macro economic environment will be better for companies.
I believe more respected company will appear soon.

Gaza siege puts public health at risk as water and sanitation services deteriorate, warns Oxfam
Jerusalem, 20 November 2007 – Humanitarian agency Oxfam International today said there is an increasing risk to public health in Gaza as water and sanitation services begin to buckle under the strain of Israel's restrictions on fuel, vital maintenance goods and spare parts into Gaza.
According to Oxfam International's partner the Coastal Municipalities Water Utilities (CMWU) 15% of Gaza's population – 225,000 people – is not receiving an adequate amount of drinking water due to the lack of diesel.
Oxfam is also worried at the latest reports of Israel's Attorney General's Office giving approval to its new Defense Ministry's plan to reduce the quantity of electricity delivered to the Gaza Strip. This decision comes on top of Israel's fuel reductions since 28 October 2007, which are having an immediate impact on the water and wastewater systems in the Gaza Strip.
According to Oxfam International Executive Director Jeremy Hobbs:
"There has to be an immediate resumption of fuel supplies to Gaza if we are to avoid a public health crisis. Access to clean water is a fundamental human right and must not be used as a tool to collectively punish the population of Gaza. As international efforts increase to breathe new life into progress towards peace, the international community is ignoring Gaza's plight, allowing it to slip further into a crisis. Ordinary civilians in Gaza are being punished for crimes they have not committed, in clear violation of international humanitarian law. This illegal policy of collective punishment must stop at once."
For the first two weeks of November CMWU had on average 7 water wells in Gaza City that worked either partially or not at all due to the lack of diesel. As a result 50,000 people were directly affected and received 75% less water. According to partners and staff the situation throughout the Gaza Strip is deteriorating as the availability of water is dropping further. Electricity reductions would only exacerbate Gaza's sufferings.
CMWU warns that more people are now buying water from various sources many of which do not implement proper quality control. Drinking non-treated water can lead to severe health problems.
The water and sewage system is already very vulnerable because of severe restrictions on the entry of goods into the Gaza Strip. CMWU is experiencing severe shortages of spare parts, and other materials necessary for repairs and preventive maintenance, which have been repeatedly denied access by the Israel Defense Forces since June 2007. When the rainy season begins more diesel and electricity will be needed to operate the sewage system.
Since the diesel fuel cuts started on late October 2007 CMWU has faced growing problems in operating the water and wastewater system throughout the Gaza Strip. As the sole water supplier for Gaza's 1.5 million people, CMWU is highly dependant on diesel to run generators for its 135 water wells, 33 pumping stations and 3 treatment plants because throughout the Gaza Strip there is already an electricity deficit.
Oxfam International calls for the immediate resumption of unimpeded fuel deliveries to the territory. Oxfam also urges the government of Israel to immediately cease acts of collective punishment on the impoverished civilians of the Gaza Strip. It calls on the international community to speak out against the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza and to hold responsible actors accountable for protection of civilians.
Notes to Editors
Facts on the water and wastewater system:
The Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) in Gaza needs a monthly supply of 150,000-250,000 liters of diesel per month to power the generators for the water and wastewater systems (135 water wells, 33 pumping stations and 3 wastewater treatment plants).
For the month of October, CMWU recorded a deficit of 40.000 liters of diesel.
CMWU re-directed fuel used for the water system into the sewage system as diesel is needed to operate the sewage pumping stations 24h hours/day to prevent sewage floods.
CMWU and electricity in Gaza
The Gaza Strip needs 210 megawatts of electricity on a daily basis. It currently receives around 187 megawatts. This results in frequent power outages and a situation of low voltage in which generators, play a vital role to run Gaza's water and wastewater system. CMWU consumes 20-25 MW on a daily basis, making it the biggest electricity consumer.
The lower the electricity supply, the more CMWU relies on fuel for back up and to supplement under-voltage.
About Oxfam International
Oxfam International (OI) has been working in Gaza and the West Bank since the 1980s. Along with 12 Palestinian partner organizations in Gaza, Oxfam works in the areas of emergency and primary healthcare, water and sewerage projects, human rights monitoring, workers' rights, refugee rights, women's rights, microfinance, agriculture/food security and others.
Based on Oxfam's first hand experience, we are concerned about the increase in poverty and suffering for Palestinians. Oxfam believes that all people in the Middle East region should be free from violence, coercion and deprivation.

How long has it been since Iowa's overall K-12 enrollment rose? This year's senior class wasn't even in preschool last time it happened.
The Iowa Department of Education said Thursday the state's enrollment rose this school year for the first time since 1996. That's 17 years. A total of 476,245 students are enrolled in Iowa schools this year.
The 2012-2013 year is an increase of 2,741 students over the prior school year, but it's still down over 25 percent from the peak of 654,000 students in 1972-1973.
The state points to higher birth rates nationally between 2003-2008 as the reason for the increase. That won't last, though. The national birth rate spiked in 2007, only to decline more recently.
"This statewide increase is refreshing news for Iowa after years of declining enrollment. However, the reality is that this increase most likely is temporary," said Jay Pennington, chief of the Iowa Department of Education's Bureau of Information and Analysis.
The increase isn't across the board for Iowa schools, either. Only half the schools in Iowa showed an increase. The others lost students. And gains are primarily focused on urban and suburban areas, rather than rural Iowa.

Goodbye Japan
Well, this is it. I'm leaving tomorrow and Japan will be left behind. A lot of stuff has happened over the past two years that I never really got to write about on this blog, but pretty much no one reads it anyway, so yeah
I never really thought I would be this sad to to leave but here I am wishing for just a bit more time. Still, at the same time I'm eager to get back to my wonderful life back home where everything is good and right (in my world). So all in all, it was one incredible experience but I'm happy to go home now.
Thankyou everyone <3

Is it true some clouds are 'seeded' by aliens?
Yes...sort of. The clouds in question are the fairly rare 'noctilucent' clouds...(meaning 'night-shining'). Those are found on the edge of our atmosphere...about 48 miles above the earth. That's the same altitude where meteors leave 'dust'...which attract scarce water vapor...needed to form the ice crystals that make up noctilucent clouds. That meteor dust works as 'seeds' for these clouds. Interestingly, scientists are finding that noctilucent clouds are showing up more often, and farther south than was historically the case. Scientists have found that's due to increased levels of methane in the upper reaches of the atmosphere...a greenhouse gas.

• THEFT: A Walmore Road man told police that sometime Thursday night someone took a '08 John Deere from a shed on his property. The man said he is in the process of moving and wasn't home at the time. Deputies found visible tracks leading away from the shed to the road. The estimated loss is $3,500.
• INCIDENT: Deputies were called to a Youngstown-Lockport Road on Saturday by a Toronto woman to check the condition of her 92-year-old mother and 60-year-old sister. The woman said she came by to check on them and head her mother yelling and experiencing some kind of medical problem. The woman said her 92-year-old mother has been caring for her 60-year-old sister who has multiple sclerosis and is bed-ridden. The sister said she has been in contact with Niagara County Social Services in an attempt to have her sister placed in a medical facility. The deputy said he tried multiple times to call Adult Protective Services but could not reach anyone. He left a message with a social worker who has been handling the sister's case. Both the sister and the mother were taken to Mount St. Mary's for medical treatment.

About meMember Since October 2011
You know what's a weird concept to think about? Death Ever just for a handful of moments, a couple of minutes, or even for a few hours, just sit and wonder about your own death? It really gets you by the tongue; it's such a strong feeling when you think about it you can't put it into words. Like just sit and wonder, what it would be like in your last seconds of life... what would you be thinking of, what will go through your mind in those last seconds, where would you be even? Does your whole life flash before your eyes like a cliché? It drops your mind into a great wonder. What will happen the moment before we die? It spins around in your head in the now for something that is years away, not even close, but yet could hit you as quick as you blink. I imagine I'd be in a hospital bed, looking at the ceiling, thinking about the one that got away. And then when you die, you know in your head there isn't an afterlife, there's no proof of it to this day, but you kind of wonder 'well if there was an afterlife, what would it be like?' What happens to your mind? You're conscious? It just stops, like it was never there before. It's utterly mind blowing to think all your thoughts, your memories and even your impulses to move a finger, will just stop existing. Not existing, that feels worse than death, you came and gone in the blink of an eye. Just imagine it, what it'd be like to not be able to feel even a vibration in your finger of the blood pumping through it, not to be able to have a thought anymore? And you can't even have a thought of having a thought, it's just not possible. Death is such a complex and weird concept to play in your head with. And you can understand why people fear death; it's because of possibly all this. Just one day, even in the far future, just sit, and wonder what your own death would be like. Try describing it to someone; it's really the deepest train of thought to have.

July 31, 2014
Posted Tuesday, March 6, 2012 --- 7:35 a.m.
The American Heart Association is urging doctors to talk more honestly with people who have very weak hearts and are considering pumps, pacemakers, new valves or procedures to open clogged arteries.
The new advice aims to help people with advanced heart failure understand that an implanted device may not actually make them feel better. Heart failure occurs when the heart is too weak to pump enough blood, making people very tired and causing fluid to back up in the lungs.
Doctors may suggest a heart pump, defibrillator or other treatment. Sometimes a device prolongs life but doesn't provide a better quality of life.
The new guidance came out Monday and was endorsed by several other medical groups.

Register staff report
After spending the previous year as chief deputy in the Madison County Clerk's office, Colleen Chaney of Richmond went to work in January as district office director for newly elected U.S. Rep. Andy Barr, R-Sixth District.
Chaney began work in early January, heading Barr's office in the Hamburg area of Lexington. However, the congressman's office didn't formally announce the appointment until Friday, the same day he came to Madison County to address a Richmond Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Barr said Chaney had been applying the same skills she had used to streamline the operations of several divisions in the clerk's office in setting up his constituent service program for the district.
"I've been impressed with Colleen's initiative, vision, diligence and determination," Barr said of her work. "She will help me provide the high quality service the people of this district both need and deserve."
To make constituent services more convenient to residents of his district, Barr said he will have representatives keep regularly scheduled office hours in each county. Tyler White of the congressman's staff will be at the Madison County Courthouse in Richmond from 1 to 3 p.m. on the third Monday of each month, he said.
Madison County Clerk Kenny Barger said Chaney had been of invaluable service to him when he took office as a newly elected clerk in January 2012.
"I certainly hated to lose Colleen," Barger said of Chaney's departure, "but you know you have good employees when others want to hire them."
In the clerk's office, Chaney used the knowledge she acquired while serving as director of Corporations and Legislative Programs for former Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson, Barger said. Prior to working for Grayson, she had served in a variety of capacities in the administration of former governor Ernie Fletcher and with the Kentucky League of Cities.
"Congressman Barr has emphasized that accessibility is the key component in successfully representing the people of the sixth district," Chaney said. "This commitment can be seen in his eagerness to visit with constituents as often as possible. In addition, it also is the foundation for our district office accessibility initiative that includes monthly office hours, coalition meetings, field visits and case management.
"Properly serving the people of the Sixth District's nineteen counties means providing responsive, compassionate, and effective constituent services," she said.
Chaney offered one example of a Madison Countian who recently called Barr's office with an Internal Revenue Service issue that could have created a serious problem for his business.
"Our staff was able to identify the problem, make the necessary phone calls, and resolve the matter within one business day," she said.
"I am honored and proud to have Colleen's unique brand of leadership in charge of our district office," Barr said. "Her wealth of experience at the state and local level and her love for Kentuckians shows in every aspect of her work."

King County Executive Dow Constantine joined Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn Tuesday in announcing a new buyback program that will allow gun owners to exchange firearms for gift cards to Amazon.com and other vendors.
Speaking at a Seattle press conference, Constantine noted that King County has not been immune to high-profile incidents of gun violence. In May, four people—including a Bellevue woman—were killed in a shooting rampage that began at a Seattle coffee shop.
"As we keep all those families in our hearts, taking guns off the street is a concrete action we can take now," Constantine said.
Do you think gun buybacks are an effective way to combat gun violence? Tell us in the comments section.
The first buyback will take place underneath I-5 between James and Cherry streets from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Jan. 26. Officials say the process will be completely anonymous.
People will be able to trade in handguns, shotguns and rifles for $100 gift cards and state-classified assault weapons for $200. Amazon is donating $30,000 in gift cards to the program, McGinn said. (More information can be found on the Seattle Police Department's website.)
The Jan. 26 event is just the beginning, McGinn said, and officials are looking for additional organizations to provide financial incentives for future buybacks.
"We would like to make this a sustainable program," he said.
The last Seattle gun buyback program took place in 1992.

Battle of Britain Day celebrations in Stonehouse
3:27pm Thursday 13th September 2012 in News By SNJ Reporter
THE Battle of Britain will be celebrated in style in Stonehouse on Saturday September 15.
A celebration day was encouraged by local businesses, following the success of the Stonehouse Rotary Club's previous event re-launching the High Street last year.
John Jeynes of the Rotary club said: "Local businesses once again asked Stonehouse Rotary Club to help them organise another celebration day, which we were delighted to do."
As the event fell on Battle of Britain Day, this set the theme of the day as a celebration of the 1940s in wartime.
There is plenty planned for children with a 1940s era fancy dress competition for taking place at 10:30am by the Millenium Stone on the Green, with a bouncy castle, face painting and other activities to keep them entertained throughout the day.
Alongside this, there will be plenty on offer for everybody, as local businesses will be hosting a series of attractions and competitions and local children will perform in a variety of displays.
There will also be various classic cars, a vintage tractor and steam engine on display and the Kings Stanley brass band to add to the 1940s nostalgia.
Also arranged is a special display of a section of the locally historic wingtip of a German Junkers JU88 aircraft's that was shot down by a collaboration of Spitfire and Hurricane fighter planes over the Daneway Valley on July 25, 1940.
Supporting this will be the testimony of a witness who saw the incident whilst stationed at Ashton Down.
Norville Opticians will also be sponsoring a label identifying competition in local shop windows with cash prizes, including a £100 for first place and £10 and £20 for runners up and Location Estate Agents will be sponsoring a balloon race.
Free parking will be available on the day in Laburnam field from the Laburnam Walk entrance.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Chief Rodney Monroe plans to tell the Charlotte City Council on Monday about his department's plans to use technology that has the potential to affect how the department fights crime.
The equipment – more than 500 wireless cameras, automatic license-plate readers and a network of sensitive, gunshot-detecting microphones known as ShotSpotter – were all bolstered by or put into place before the Democratic National Convention. The city received a $50 million security grant from the federal government to pay for new equipment and upgrades.
The Police Department did not comment in advance of Monroe's statements to City Council. But in the past, Deputy Chief Harold Medlock called the cameras effective crime-prevention and crime-fighting tools.
According to the City Council's agenda, Monroe will discuss how the systems technologies can be used to prevent crime and identify or arrest suspects. He'll also discuss "policy, legal and ethical concerns."
Police haven't said where the cameras are located but previously told the Observer they intend to move some of the cameras to new corridors and communities with large amounts of crime.
The department already has a nationwide reputation for being tech-savvy. Monroe has testified before Congress about the use of predictive analytics, which use crime data to estimate where a crime is likely to occur and helps police decide where to assign patrol officers.
Potential privacy issues
But the programs Monroe is scheduled to talk about around 4 p.m. today all have potential privacy concerns.
"The one thing we want to make sure of is that 'big brother' is not overindulging," said Patrick Cannon, a Democrat and the chair of the council's community safety committee. "At the same time, we want to make sure that we do all we can to have the tools to help us prevent the next crime."
The American Civil Liberties Union has raised questions about how the department uses its more than 500 cameras, and civil rights leaders have asked if they'll be concentrated in poor, black neighborhoods.
License-plate readers can help police quickly locate a stolen car but can also potentially track the movements of people who've done nothing wrong.
And ShotSpotter's microphones can also pick up the sounds of conversations, although police agencies have said they wouldn't be used for electronic eavesdropping.
Cannon said council members will also ask if the technology is worth the money.
For example, Peter Scharf, a criminologist at Tulane University, said departments that use ShotSpotter programs typically respond to a high number of calls that are unfounded.
"You've got to chase a lot of false positive errors – either firecrackers, or busted balloons, busted tires – for every positive result," Scharf said.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 27, 2006
New task force works to simplify business license code
In response to Mayor Kay Barnes' call for a change in the business license tax, City Manager Wayne A. Cauthen announced Thursday the establishment of the business license task force to review current processes and recommend changes.
"It is important to every City to have a required process for registering businesses. The task force will be charged with recommending a simplified code for business licenses -- one that will be more palatable to both the taxpayers and the City's enforcement officers," Cauthen said.
Lou Austin, a local attorney, will be the chairman of the task force. Other members include Terry Campbell Sr., chief financial officer for HNTB; Doug Washington, vice president of Versent Group; Nancy Zielke, assistant vice chancellor of fiscal operations for the University of Missouri-Kansas City; and Deb Hinsvark, chief financial officer for the City of Kansas City, Mo.
Kansas City's business license tax was imbedded in the City Charter in the 1920s and then amended and enhanced by numerous ordinances over the last 80 years. The current charter language is now obsolete, and in many cases, industry changes have made the tax cumbersome.
The task force will hold public hearings in late May and early June. Specific dates for the public hearings will be available by mid-May, and will be posted on the City's Web site (www.kcmo.org). The task force tentatively plans to submit its recommendations in late August.
For more information about the business license task force, call Deb Hinsvark, chief financial officer, (816) 513-1173.

No need to continue. No vote for Pezberry whatsoever and 14 for Quinntana. Think it's clear.
I did the same poll exactly 1 year ago. The results were:
Quinntana - 10, Pezberry - 8. But of course noone knew Quinntana is gonna be cannon, or as cannon as it gets. But then again - a lot of things have changed in 12 months. Thanks for voting!!

The Florida Panthers have a seven-point lead in the Southeast Division and get this: They will take over first place in the Eastern Conference if they beat the Sabres tonight. Florida hasn't held that spot since it was 28-15-13 on Feb. 12, 1997 -- when Lindy Ruff was a Panthers assistant and the franchise was nine months removed from its lone trip to the Stanley Cup final.
The Panthers posted a 2-0 win last night in Boston, are gunning for their first four-game winning streak since 2007 tonight and their first back-to-back wins ever in Buffalo (they posted a 3-2 victory here on Oct. 29). They figured to be improved with so many new faces, but first in the East?
"We've really made an effort to downplay it," said first-year coach Kevin Dineen, who directed the Sabres' minor leaguers in Portland the last three years. "It's one game and then somebody plays tomorrow night and they fip-flop back over you. We had a win last night that we probably were thoroughly outplayed and were fortunate to walk out of Boston with two points.
"The margin of first overall or a playoff spot is just so low you don't sweat those areas. We know we'll have our hands full. We played a game in Los Angeles last week where I thought we thoroughly outplayed Los Angeles in every aspect of the game (outshooting the Kings, 42-26, in a 3-1 loss) and didn't get a point so it has that kind of give-and-take and I think the standings are the same way."
Still, this is a franchise that hasn't played a playoff series since 2000 and has won exactly one postseason game since getting swept in the '96 final by Colorado. So this is heady stuff.
Admitted Dineen, "It's really nice waking up your team is in a playoff spot and has a certain level of respect, but things are very fleeting."
This is a tough stretch for a team that always has rugged travel. Florida is on game seven of a run that has seven out of eight on the road. The Panthers have gone 4-2 so far.
Watch the Florida defense tonight. Panthers blueliners have an NHL-high 74 points (15-59-74), with Jason Garrison's eight goals leading the NHL and one more than he had in 113 games heading into this season and former Sabre Brian Campbell tied for fourth in the NHL with 22 assists.

Academics Home
There is no greater task for education than to teach students how to learn. The influence of "progressive" teaching methods and the oversimplification of textbooks make it difficult for students to acquire the mental discipline that traditional instruction methods once cultivated. The classical method develops independent learning skills on the foundation of language, logic, and tangible fact. The classical difference is clear when students are taken beyond conventionally taught subjects and asked to apply their knowledge through the classical method, which develops independent logic and clear expression.

April 2011 posts
Hugh Markus - 2011 Merrill P. Spencer Lecturer
Each spring, The Merrill P. Spencer, M.D. Endowed Lecture is presented in conjunction with the annual Swedish Neuroscience Institute Cerebrovascular Symposium. This year, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Hugh Markus, Professor of Neurology at St. George's University of London.
Hugh Markus was educated in Medicine at Cambridge and Oxford Universities and then carried out medical jobs in Oxford, London and Nottingham before training in neurology in London. He was senior lecturer and subsequently, reader in neurology at Kings College London before moving to the chair of neurology at St George's in 2000.
His clinical interests are in stroke, and he is clinical lead for stroke at St George's Hospital. He is involved in both acute stroke care and outpatient stroke clinics, and runs specialist services for patients with sub cortical vascular disease and genetic forms of stroke.
How do you catch a raw egg?
With the 'new' American Academy of Pediatrics and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommendations for keeping kids rear-facing longer, there has been some questions as to why.
When we install a car seat rear-facing, it's reducing the risk of injury from the most common and the most severe types of crashes: front-end collisions.
Let's talk about what happens in a front-end crash.
The front-end of the car lowers;
The back-end raises up;
The speed is decelerated abruptly;
But due to momentum, everything in the car continues to travel towards the point-of-impact. (including anything loose in the car like the stroller and big dog in the back)
When we have the child rear-facing and the car seat is properly installed using either the seat belt or latch attachments, the car seat will pivot on that axis (the seat belt or latch). When the car seat pivots, its allows the child to 'ride out' the crash. The seat will ease the child down at a slower rate, dispersing the energy from the crash across the child's entire back and in the car seat. This action and positioning keeps the spine in line reducing their risk for spinal cord injury.
The physics involved in this are the same physics that are involved in catching a raw egg. If you think about how you catch a raw egg, you don't catch it like a line-drive baseball. You catch it and follow it's trajectory slowing it down at a safer rate as to not crack the shell. You're dispersing the energy from the impact in your hands and across the shell. The same way a rear-facing car seat works.
Miss out on Swedish's live knee surgery? Watch the recap today.
If you missed out on Swedish's live knee surgery in March, we have a recap for you - but five minutes of video instead of the five hours originally streamed!
On Tuesday, March 15, 2011, surgeons from the Swedish Orthopedic Institute offered the opportunity to see a knee surgery in a way that has rarely been done before by a healthcare system. Sean Toomey, MD, an orthopedic surgeon, repaired the knee of a patient, streamed live online. The webcast was moderated by orthopedic surgeon James Crutcher, MD. The patient, identified by Dr. Toomey as a candidate for a partial knee replacement procedure, volunteered and consented to have his knee replacement surgery streamed live.
The live webcast provided a rare front row seat into advances in surgical technology, featuring new robotic-assisted technology for knee replacements. During the surgery, the video portion of the webcast was embedded below, and was accompanied by a live chat. Viewers sent questions during the procedure using the live chat features (no login or account needed) or via Twitter using hash tag #livekneesurgery and were answered by the narrating physician during the webcast. Anyone interested in learning about orthopedic options at Swedish or surgical technology were encouraged to join the web stream.
We talk the talk - let's start walking
Today (April 6) is National Start! Walking Day. Swedish is partnering with the American Heart Association to mobilize walkers from Cherry Hill, First Hill, Ballard, and Met Park (some of our campuses) to participate in National Start! Walking Day. We're coordinating this effort to encourage and motivate Swedish employees to walk one mile at noon.
What is Parentelligence?
Parentelligence is all about smart parenting. Finding out the science behind parenting and applying it in a practical way, so that every parent can make informed decisions for the unending number of decisions that we have to make everyday for, and about, our children. It's finding out why the recommendations are what they are, whether it's for car seats, sleep safety, human development, or just plain how to handle the morning rush out the door.

Place of creation
No place, unknown, or undetermined
Scope and content
Sub-series consists of a bound loose-leaf register of monthly tabular reports for the port of Vancouver, listing Chinese persons admitted as immigrants to Canada through the port who were exempted from payment of the head tax under the Chinese Immigration Act, 1914-1930. The reports were submitted by local port officials, January 1914 to January 1924 only. Some sheets bear original signatures of the Controllers of Chinese Immigration (Malcolm Reid, April 1914; A.W. Jolliffe, March 1915 to November 1922). The ledger appears to be a handwritten or carbon typescript copy of unlocated originals. Most of these people claimed exemption as "merchants" (both independent traders and members of partnerships or companies) or their dependents, but some claimed exemption as school teachers, other school staff, students, clergymen, diplomats and their servants, and ordinary Chinese Canadians who had overstayed their legal leave period while on trips outside Canada under the out-registration (C.I.9) rules. In the ledgers, each monthly sheet or sheets list persons accepted for immigration free of obligation to pay head tax, giving reasons for exemption in each case. Each entry states the individual's name, or the name of the company which applied for exemption on his/her behalf; the number of partners in the firm (including names of all individual partners up to December 1919); the date the firm was registered; place of business; names and numbers of dependents if any; the persons' C.I.4 and C.I.30 certificate numbers and dates of admission; and the port's file number.

At around 11:30 this morning, a semi truck carrying lumber rolled over on eastbound Kellogg at Washington.
Debris littered the highway and forced Kellogg down to one lane from the downtown exit through to I-135.
Just before 1:00 p.m., eastbound Kellogg was being shut down from Seneca to I-135 to clean up the accident.
Kellogg was reopened just before 2:00 p.m.
No injuries were reported.
