My Email Digests
I am a 30 year mom of 2 young boys (8&5), and I had spinal fusion surgery in April on my L5, after having a failed discectomy in December. I have been in constant pain for over 2 years now, and it has increased tremendously since the fusion. I knew the fusion would solve one issue, but create several more, but I had no idea it would be to this degree. Most days I have trouble walking, I can no longer drive for more than 10 min. stretches, and I am now experiencing pain and numbness in both of my arms and hands, which is further incapacitating me. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? I have been advised to apply for disability, and I am going to seek the advice of an attorney next week, but I am going to school at the present (online), and I am still hoping to one day feel well enough to return to my career in Interior Design, but I'm afraid that may never happen. I'm also concerned bc my disks are degenerating at such a rapid rate, I am looking at more surgeries in the very near future, which I personally think will be a waste of time. I have scar tissue wrapping my sciatic nerve, and a host of other issues, and my pain management Dr. was honest with me, and told me I was most likely going to never improve. I'm hoping in the next few years more advancements will be made, bc I can't imagine living like this for the rest of my life. I feel like my kids are being cheated out of so many experiences, bc we used to lead such an active life, but that has all come to a halt. I am also unable to do household chores, putting a further strain on my husband, who I am so lucky to have, bc he complains about nothing and supports me unconditionally. I have been told I have the back of a 75 year old, so where does that put me in 20 years, lol?? I may seek a second opinion on my condition, bc my neurologist has just pushed me to pain management bc he repaired the herniation, but has let pain management deal with the after effects. If anyone has a similar story or any advice I would really appreciate some feedback.
They cannot do surgery on me at all, I have a degenerative bone disease in my neck that prevents it because the risk of the bones breaking up is high.
At first, I thought I was going to go crazy! I was in law enforcement and had a career I enjoyed, I was very physically active and always doing something and in a split second my whole life changed. I thought I'd get better, despite the fact I flipped my car 3 times and was pinned in it. I cried - even at my desk from the pain. And with the stroke of a pen, I was out of work too! I couldnt even sit at a desk for 8 hrs. I did PT with OTC meds, nothing helped. I stayed in agony. Before it was all said and done, I was on Fentanyl and Methadone for pain and its still a struggle even if I am not feeling as much pain.
I wont get better. That wasnt easy to accept. I took it as a challenge and tried to prove the Dr's wrong and beat myself to death for 19 months before I finally admitted defeat. I kept pushing and pushing myself because I thought if I got stronger, I'd get better faster. I didnt get stronger and I didnt get better. I just got slower and slower.
Now the plan is I can either let them implant a spinal cord stimulator that will give electrical charges from the inside or a morphine pump, neither of which I really want. But I am at a point of desperation and just wanting some relief and some normalcy (no pain). I am just 41 years old...
I've had to change my entire lifestyle because of this. And I am "old school"... me and "change" do not mix very well. My kids and I were close, and always doing things and going on hiking trips... not anymore. My son stays worried and stressed out and has gotten overprotective which makes me feel bad because I am supposed to take care of him and his sister, not the other way around! They've been more understanding about all this than I have been, thats for sure.
I cant do housework myself... I try and will keep going even when the pain levels warn me its time to take a break. Which is about 3 minutes into it. Listening to you reminds me of me... and makes me think its more our pride getting in our way than anything. Its what we think we need to be doing as moms and housewives, our personal beliefs, than it is us accepting we really have limitations now that we didnt have before. Sometimes change isnt always for the better, but whatever it is that brings it, makes it this way for a reason. (personally I think mine were brought on because I needed to slow down and wouldnt. If I hadnt been forced to, I might not be here now because of the kind of work I was doing). I had to change everything. If I want to cook/clean I have to do what I can get done from a seated position as much as possible! And I gotta get help getting the rest done.
If we're always on the go and doing the wifely duties and motherly duties, we sometimes may even forget to take time to really listen to our kids when they wanna talk, cuz we're busy with this or that.
Basically I guess what I am saying to you is, its all about acceptance now, doing what we can to live with the pain and changing the way we think - old attitudes to new ones. Now all we have is time, we just have to do our best to make the best of it.
It's amazing how children really can comprehend what we are going through. My 7-year old sounds like your 8-year old. He helps me all the time because he knows my back hurts. My 5-year old hugs my leg and back all the time to help it feel better.
I've had severe pain for over two years. My life, work-family-social, crumbled around me as I became a slave to my pain. It took me about a year to really get my mind around my situation. Now I try to do the best I can with what I have. It sounds simple but it is SO important to truly understand.
I'm pretty disappointed right now because the stim wasn't helpful... not sure what's next.
I won't say it answers everyone's question, but meanwhile had 2 separate fusions in my neck, and have 2 more with problems, requiring constant nerve cutting to try to keep the pain and headaches down.
But for the lower pain, the Neurosurgeon referred me to a Spine Specialist to see if a Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS). I thought this was something new, but Medtronics (makes pacemakers) said they'd had these for 30 years. I had a 4 day trial which was really easy, outpatient, and had a control to increase./decrease the amount of stimulation. It interrupts the pain signal that goes to the brain. When I have it turned up high, it just tingles, but NO pain. The trial was so successful, it not only controlled the pain from the scar tissue that had wrapped around the screws in the lumbar area causing Sciatica, but the Neuropathy pain in my toes from Diabetes. It also has significantly stopped the pain from 3 knees surgeries including a last replacement and ankle surgery.
If the trial doesn't work, they don't have to implant it. But if it does work, and I had at least a 85% improvement in 4 days. I went from barely being able to get out of a chair to climbing a steep hill, jogging a bit, shopping, etc. I was alive again. I had the permanent implant put in 4 months ago (insurance paid 100%). Some changes of position can make the tingling intense, but I have a control I keep in my purse and have 4 separate problems. Medtronics will meet me anytime at the docs office and change or add programs. I need one or two additional programs, hardest to get to the buttocks and higher in the back for me. I tried turning off at night, but could only sleep 2 hours again, so turn it down about 75% and sleep 8 hours for the first time in many years. I can shop and walk for 3-4 hours, just helped plant 8 tall trees and 23 shrubs. I haven't been able to do more than extremely light house in years.
Now to address the neck problems and non-stop headaches....they do an implant also for cervical which I need to research.
So, do all the research about your options. What works for one person, doesn't for others. It's not an exact science by any means, but having relief for 1/2 my body has let me get back on my exercise bike and try to loosen up a frozen knee replacement. It's given me hope, alleviated a lot of depression, and as many women seem to relate to me, the guilt we feel that we can't do what we think we should be doing.
I also do not like taking the narcotics, which I'm maxed out on now which limits my life, no driving, foggy head, etc. So, I feel that the SCS is the last resort, but it has been successful for me, the rechargeable ones I opted for will last 9 years. It isn't 100%, but can target the area of pain most of the time and increase the intensity of the implant. I'm learning to easily work with it, and when off the drugs I feel free. As long as these implants keep me off drugs, keep me from more and more fusions, I'm happy.
My Neurosurgeon actually was the one that recommended the SCS for my lower back as Sciatica was excruciating down both legs and back.
Before the implant though, I went through all the epidural shots, the nerve cuttings over and over. Once nothing worked, this is where I ended up and am much happier and very excited that hopefully in a month I'll have the 2nd implant.

In honor of National Zookeeper Week, we're taking a look back at some of our early keepers. Many things have changed about the job since these dedicated folks were here, starting with the uniform. Others haven't, including the qualities of a good keeper. As W. Reid Blair – the Bronx Zoo's first full-time veterinarian and later director – wrote in 1901, successful keepers, "as a rule, are sympathetic and intelligent."

Gunners Jammed
POSTED: 29 April 2011
Gunners Jammed
All hope abandoned by Arsenal. With the Gunners pursuing Manchester United in the Premiership, their chances of catching up with the table leaders continued to dwindle pounded by their recent loss to Bolton. The match was looking to end in a draw until Tamir Cohen came in and netted a last minute goal to lift them past the Gunners 2-1 leaving Arsenal slipping from Premiership hopes.
Cohen entered the match with only 5 minutes left in regulation and took Arsenal by surprise. The Gunners' sloppy defence gave way to a set piece that resulted with Cohen heading in the winner. The loss brought Arsenal nine points behind United with only four matches left in their schedule.
Next Sunday, Arsenal will face Manchester United at home. Only 4 rounds are left in the Premier League and Man United still has 2 tough matches lined up. As long as United escapes losses against Arsenal and Chelsea, I believe the Premiership belongs to the Reds. However, United still has at least 2 more Champions League matches. So I think Sir Alex Ferguson will be conservative when they visit the Emirates Stadium this weekend. At this point, they'd rather play safe. Not losing, is as good as winning.
Good price on draw.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - Quiet by nature, Baiylea Gold's mother said she's becoming more and more of an introvert.
"Baiylea has completely shut down," Anissa Gold said.
Baiylea said she's been bullied by a classmate at Rossview Middle School for a year.
"Every time I see her I just get scared," Baiylea added. "She was saying stuff. She just called me out of my name."
Baiylea said she does not respond, even after the words turned physical on the school bus.
"She pulled me out of my seat," Baiylea said about the ordeal in November 2011. "She pulled my hair out and she just kept hitting me."
Anissa Gold is keeping a record of her numerous complaints, including warnings that the fight could happen. Baiylea's sister, Ashley, said she received a note from the bully's sister. The two high school students have also had their problems in the past.
"She wrote a note and signed it saying that after school on a particular Friday the two bullies were going to attack my daughters," Anissa Gold explained. "But they didn't do it that particular day. They waited until another day."
A judge put the bullies on probation and ordered that they not have contact with Baiylea and her sister. Still the district, the Gold's say, allowed the bullies to continue riding on the same school bus.
"If we don't stand up for our kids who will," Gold said.
Armed with their evidence, they say enough is enough.
"We have filed a $6.5 million lawsuit against the Montgomery County School Board, the former principal at Rossview Middle, the principal at Rossview High, the bus driver and the mother," Gold explained.
Gold said it's not about the money, it's about the message.
"We tried to settle it at the ground level. We went to the proper authorities, the principal, the [school resource officer], even to the school board and no one took this seriously. Now it's time to have a wake-up call," she said.
The Gold's have asked a judge to waive the fee associated with filing the lawsuit. If granted, then the parties identified will be served. As of right now Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools have not received anything. A spokesperson with the district said because of privacy laws, she cannot comment on the allegations.

Will donating to charity ever be as popular as shopping during the holiday season?
A partnership of nonprofits hopes so.
For many people, the holiday shopping marathon began on Thanksgiving day, with some national chains opening their doors just hours after the traditional turkey dinner. Then comes Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, which has morphed into Cyber Week.
Now, there's a new national campaign asking you to open your wallet—Giving Tuesday.
The Giving Tuesday website says the effort, coming on the heels of days devoted to consumerism, is designed "to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations."
Several Minnesota nonprofits are among the Twin Cities-based organizations using their websites and social media networks to kick off the inaugural effort. They include organizations such as Animal Humane Society, Greater Twin Cities United Way, Children's HeartLink and Starkey Hearing Foundation.
The effort includes the Twitter hashtag #GivingTuesday to help spread the word.
Minnesota already has its own day devoted to charitable giving before Thanksgiving and Black Friday —Give to the Max Day, held on Nov. 15 this year. The new, nationally organized Giving Tuesday effort is trying to do something similar in the post-Thanksgiving holiday period.
What do you think? Can a social media push get people giving more of their money and time to charities during the post-Thanksgiving holiday season?

|skin (skĭn) Pronunciation Key
The outer covering of a vertebrate animal, consisting of two layers of cells, a thick inner layer (the dermis) and a thin outer layer (the epidermis). Structures such as hair, scales, or feathers are contained in the skin, as are fat cells, sweat glands, and sensory receptors. Skin provides a protective barrier against disease-causing microorganisms and against the sun's ultraviolet rays. In warm-blooded animals, it aids in temperature regulation, as by insulating against the cold.
|tooth (tth) Pronunciation Key

Plural teeth (tēth)
The external tissue that covers the body. As the body's largest organ (it makes up about one twenty-fifth of an adult's weight), the skin serves as a waterproof covering that helps keep out pathogens and protects against temperature extremes and sunlight. The skin also contains special nerve endings that respond to touch, pressure, heat, and cold. The skin has an outer layer, or epidermis, and a layer immediately below, called the dermis.
A hard structure, embedded in the jaws of the mouth, that functions in chewing. The tooth consists of a crown, covered with hard white enamel; a root, which anchors the tooth to the jawbone; and a "neck" between the crown and the root, covered by the gum. Most of the tooth is made up of dentin, which is located directly below the enamel. The soft interior of the tooth, the pulp, contains nerves and blood vessels. Humans have molars for grinding food, incisors for cutting, and canines and bicuspids for tearing.

You may see a much simpler, but less accurate calorimeter in the laboratory, which, by its construction, is necessarily constant pressure:
Constant volume calorimetry measures the Internal Energy change between Reactants and Products, but constant pressure calorimetery measures directly the Enthalpy change during the reaction. These two heats are slightly different when gases are evolved or consumed during the transformation. (Gases evolved expand if at constant pressure and thus do Work in the surroundings. This energy must come from somewhere...)
Both constant volume and constant pressure instruments use the fact that the heat evolved from the reaction changes the temperature of a working substance (usually a water bath) with a known heat capacity. Thus a measurement of the temperature rise in the surroundings (calorimeter body) allows a determination of the heat crossing the boundary between the system (where the reaction takes place) and the surroundings (where the temperature change is measured). For technical reasons, it is usually more accurate to measure constant volume heat flow (Internal Energy changes) and thus 'bomb' calorimeters are used almost exclusively for important measurements.
We usually assume that the heat capacity of a given substance
is roughly constant (independent of temperature) over a small
changes in temperature. (If we need to be more accurate,
we can correct for this assumption,
but we won't do that in this course).
Every substance has a heat capacity, and the values of this property
vary greatly with that substance.
There are a couple of things that we can say universally about this property:
Comments on Heat Capacity...
A constant pressure calorimeter where the water bath has a mass of 150 grams. 1.00 g of diamond is burned to produce CO2 and Water. If the water bath in the Calorimeter is initially at 22 oC, what is the final temperature of the Calorimeter?
let's write a balanced chemical reaction for the combustion
C (diamond) + O2 (gas) = CO2 (gas)
Next, the molar heat of reaction comes from the Heats of Formation of the products minus the reactants.
DHrxn = -393.5 kJ/mol - (1.88 kJ/mol + 0) = -395.4 kJ/mol
The actual heat released by 1.00g /12.011 g/mol = 8.326 x 10-2 mol of diamond is
Q = (-395.4 kJ/mol) (8.326 x 10-2 mol) = -3.292 x 104 J
The temperature rise is the heat provided to the water (-Q) divided by the mass times the specific heat of water
DT = 3.292 x 104 J/ ((150. g)(4.184 J/K.g) = 52.5 K
The final temperature of the water bath is then
= 22 + 52.5 = 74.5 oC
If 0.500 gram of another substance, H2CO, is burned in the same Calorimeter, and the temperature of the bath in the calorimeter (150 g H20) changes from 24.0 to 39.2 oC, what is the molar heat of formation of the H2CO?
Again, lets see what kind of reaction we should have in the reactor
(gas) + O2 (gas) = CO2 (gas) + H2O
So the Heat of that reaction for 0.500 g / 30.03 g/mol = 1.665 x 10-2 mol of formaldehyde raised the temperature of 150. g of water by 15.2 K. That means the heat released by that amount of reaction liberated:
-Q = (150 g)(4.184 J/g.K)(15.2 K) = 9.540 kJ
of heat. One mole of reaction would liberate
-Q = 9.540 kJ/(1.665 x 10-2 mol) = 572.9 kJ/mole
which is the heat of combustion, DHcomb, of formaldehyde.
The heat of formation of formaldehyde, DHform{formaldehyde}, is related to the heat of combustion as:
DHcomb = DHform{water (l)} + DHform{CO2 (gas)} - DHform{formaldehyde}
-572.9 kJ/mol = -285.8 kJ/mol + -393.5 kJ/mol - DHform{formaldehyde}
DHform{formaldehyde} = -106.4 kJ/mol
This number is a little low, according to the The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which can be searched on the web at http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/
A Note on Calorimetry Questions:
Sometimes the Heat Capcity of the Calorimeter is 'broken up' into that of the
'bath' (a pure substance) and that of the metal reaction vessel
(which is usually much smaller). If both are given then add them up and use
the total for the Heat Capacity of the calorimeter in your calculations.
If the heat capacity of the 'empty' calorimeter is not explicitly given,
ignore it and only use the heat capacity of the 'bath'.
In high accuracy work, sometimes the energy input of the igniter or even the stirrer is accounted. We will not worry about such minor contributions.
In practice, the entire calorimeter system can be calibrated with the combustion of any substance whose heat of formation is accurately known. The combustion of Benzoic acid is a famous calibrant for typical bomb calorimeters.

Yum! I used bone-in skinless thighs, and cut the soup and wine in half - still made a ton. Served with rice and seasoned green beans. Omitted the olive brine as mentioned by other readers; the sauce picked up a nice not too strong taste from the olives. I considered next time removing the chicken and thickening the sauce (was thinner than I anticipated) but hubby said no, don't change a thing! I must respond to KRCOOK's nasty review .. first if you are not a fan of canned soup recipes - DON'T TRY THEM. Second, ok so it doesn't serve up like a meal in a gourmet restaurant but we are home cooks here generously sharing our family tried and true recipes - not executive chefs.
This is an outstanding recipe. Chicken breasts were used,and substituted black olives instead of the green. I omitted the mushrooms and used chardonnay wine instead of the chablis. This is an easy to assemble recipe and most definitly a keeper! Impressive dish for company.
I have always been very leery of concoctions made with canned soup, knowing that if one does not have the ability to create ones own sauce that there must be something wrong with the mix. However, I decided to give it a try, it sounded so exotic, I guess due to the mention of the combination of mushrooms; olives; et cetera. After slow cooking this mixture for 8 hours I can honestly say that I have never been so displeased with a recipe in my lifetime. I was not able to serve it as a main dish, not only due to the lack of palatable qualities but due to the fact that it absolutely had no presentation qualities. After spending a lot of money to make this dinner I was at least able to salvage some parts of it by taking the contents, adding some shredded cheese and creating quesadillas. It is with heartfelt disappointment that I submit this review.

Griffith Observatory School Program
Information Regarding 2013-14 School Program
Soon after opening in 1935, Griffith Observatory initiated one of the first school visit programs in the region. Generations of Los Angeles-area students made the pilgrimage in buses up Mount Hollywood for an experience under the stars. With the reopening of the renovated Observatory in late 2006, we welcomed back school groups for a unique experience in science education.
Nearly 160,000 fifth-grade students and over 5,000 teachers from over 2,200 schools around the region have participated in the Observatory's School Program since reopening. Now, we are pleased to announce the Observatory School Program for the 2013-14 school year.
For the sixth year, Friends Of The Observatory (FOTO) is generously sponsoring the Observatory's school program. If you'd like to help FOTO in its mission of supporting the Observatory and its visitors, please click here.
WHO: Fifth-grade students ONLY. As with the programs from 2007-13, this year's School Program is open exclusively to fifth-grade students. The content and activities are aligned with the California State Board of Education Content Standards for fifth grade. Only fifth-grade classes will be considered for school program visits. Thanks to FOTO, there is again no charge for students to attend a program.
WHAT: A two-and-a-half hour program with exhibit, building, and theater experiences. The program uses the Observatory's telescope, exhibit, and building content as well as programs in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium and Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon theater. Museum Guides and Observatory Lecturers will guide students in standards-based learning experiences using our unique facilities. Each component of the program is designed to complement the others and to support the fifth-grade education standards. Click here for a two-page brochure which describes the program in more detail.
WHEN: Most Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The school program runs from 9:30 a.m. until 12:00 noon. The first program will be Wednesday, October 2, 2013, and the final program of the year will be Thursday, June 5, 2014. There will be no programs during the weeks of winter break (December 23 - January 10).
Buses must arrive by 9:00 a.m. so the program can begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. The program serves over 300 fifth-grade students per day.
WHERE: Griffith Observatory. The programs are held at historic Griffith Observatory (2800 East Observatory Road, Los Angeles, CA, 90027). Access to the Observatory is available from Vermont Avenue. Friendly Observatory staff will greet buses, divide students into groups, and guide students through the program. Teachers, chaperones, and students must arrive by bus. It is your responsibility to arrange for bus transportation for your visit. The bus will drop you off and pick you up at the horseshoe driveway. Classes are expected to attend the ENTIRE two-and-a-half hour program.
HOW: By advance phone reservations ONLY, starting Wednesday, September 4, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. Availability is VERY limited, and the program is always oversubscribed. We process reservations via the school program reservation hotline on a first-come, first-served basis. Teachers wishing to participate in the school program MUST make an advance reservation by phone, receive confirmation from the Observatory by mail, and mail back a signed certification form. We regret we cannot accept reservations by fax, email, or other means. It is not possible for the hotline to take recorded messages.
Here are the steps of the reservation process (each is described in more detail below):
- 1. Gather the required information, including your preferred visit dates.
2. Call the School Reservation Hotline. (see below)
3. Arrange a reserved date (subject to availability).
4. Receive a confirmation package from the Observatory (U.S. Mail).
5. Secure bus transportation for your visit.
6. Each teacher must complete, sign, and return a certification form for his/her class.
7. Present the confirmation letter when you arrive for your visit.
8. Contact us immediately if you are unable to come on your reserved date.
1. Gather required information, including preferred visit dates.
When you are connected, our reservation agent will ask for the following information, which you should collect before calling:
|Proposed visit dates (Wednesday - Friday)
|School Name
|School Address
|School District
|Number of Students (per class)
|Teacher Name
|Teacher Phone Number(s)
You will be asked first for your proposed visit dates. Please have multiple options available and have a calendar handy to explore alternatives if your proposed visit dates are already full. The program fills VERY quickly, so flexibility helps.
2. Call the School Reservation Hotline. 213-473-0891
Beginning Monday, February 3, 2014, the hotline will be open two days a week, on Mondays and Fridays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (except Monday holidays, like Presidents Day and Memorial Day). The hotline is closed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Reservations may ONLY be made via the hotline at times when it is open. The hotline does not take messages, and no advance reservations or waiting lists are possible.
3. Arrange a reserved date (subject to availability).
The agent will ask what day you would like to visit. Please have at least three options available (and a calendar at hand in case more options are needed). Our ability to schedule your class is subject to availability, and we have a finite capacity which fills quickly. Once you have reserved a date with our coordinator, immediately begin your efforts to secure a school bus.
4. Receive a confirmation package from the Observatory (via U.S. Mail).
Once the reservation agent has confirmed a date for your class, the Observatory will mail you a confirmation package which you should receive within ten (10) business days. The confirmation package includes your confirmation letter (with details regarding your reservation), information about the program and our regulations, and the certification form.
When you receive the confirmation package, the teacher should review it carefully and notify us immediately if any information needs to be corrected or if you have any questions.
5. Secure bus transportation for your visit.
It is your responsibility to arrange for bus transportation for your visit. Everyone participating in the school visit program must arrive by bus (including all chaperones). No other vehicles are permitted.
6. EACH teacher must complete, sign, and return (by U.S. Mail) the certification form for his/her class.
As soon as you have secured your bus, each teacher MUST complete, sign, and return the certification form using the enclosed self-addressed, stamped envelope.
The signed certification form confirms your formal agreement to the following:
|All participating students are in the fifth grade.
|Teachers/chaperones will actively supervise their students.
|All teachers, chaperones, and students will abide by the school visit program policies and procedures and any instructions from Observatory staff.
|There is at least one adult chaperone for every ten students.
|The class has confirmed bus transportation for the visit.
|Contact information for the day of your visit.
If your class includes students with special needs, you must specify the number of students and what, if any, accommodation they will require.
Failure to abide by program requirements and staff direction will result in the bus being turned away upon arrival or the class being removed from the program.
7. Present the confirmation letter when you arrive for your visit.
You may only participate in the School Field Trip Program on the day of your confirmed reservation. Classes without a confirmed reservation will not be admitted.
If you must cancel your visit for some reason, please let us know as soon as possible, as we may be able to make the space to another school. Please call the number indicated on your confirmation letter.
Please be aware of the following requirements in planning:
• Proper Behavior. All programs in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium are conducted by a live presenter in near-total darkness. The environment of the planetarium theater is specifically crafted to enable maximum visitor enjoyment of the show. As such, all visitors in the planetarium should refrain from any activities that would be disruptive to those around them (or to the presenter). Such activities include talking, yelling, making distracting noises, standing up, or using cell phones or other devices. We reserve the right to remove disruptive patrons from the theater at any time.
• No Children May Attend Who Are Not Fifth-Grade Students. We regret we cannot permit siblings of students or other children of teachers or chaperones to attend the programs. Only students in the fifth-grade class may attend.
• One Adult Chaperone Required for Each Ten Children. To ensure a safe visit, the Observatory requires each visiting class have at least one responsible adult Teacher/Chaperone for every ten students. The teacher must certify this in advance. The Observatory will not schedule visits for classes without the required number of adults.
• Limit on Number of Adult Chaperones. Please keep in mind that we have limited capacity in our theaters. Please do not bring excess chaperones.
• Teachers/Chaperones Must Supervise Their Students. Teachers/Chaperones will participate actively in the program AND in the supervision of the students. The requirements for a Teacher/Chaperone during the visit are described here; please make sure all of your adult participants are aware of their responsibilities. We will remove students and/or classes who are disrupting the program.
• Being Ready for the Program. Your students must be ready to line up for the program by 9:20 a.m. so we can begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. This means they must use the exterior restrooms and/or eat any snacks well before that time. There is no break provided during the two-and-a-half hour school visit program.
• Special Education and Special Needs Students Welcome. The Observatory is able to accommodate both special education and special needs students (including those in wheelchairs, with visual/hearing impairments, or emotional issues). However, we need to have advance notice to understand how best to meet the needs of the students. Please indicate the number of such students and what, if any, accommodations are required when you return your certification form.
• Transportation Required. Students, teachers, and chaperones must ALL arrive via a school bus. Schools must arrange and fund their own bus. As noted above, you must certify that you have secured a bus prior to your visit. Your bus must arrive at the Observatory no later than 9:00 a.m. to enable the program to begin on time. Buses will drop you off and pick you up at the Observatory's horseshoe driveway; during the program, buses will need to park elsewhere in Griffith Park.
• No Food or Drink Permitted in Building or During the Program. To maintain the historic building and new exhibits, food, drinks, candy, and gum are not permitted at any time in the building or during the school visit program. Teachers and Chaperones must enforce this policy.
Please consider the following when requesting a reservation:
• Public Operations. Please be aware that the Observatory opens to the public on weekdays beginning at 12:00 noon.
• Activities After the Program. When the program is completed at 12:00 noon, you may be interested in one or more of the following options as an additional aspect of your visit.

The Moore American
MOORE — Robert Krows was re-elected March 5 with 74.9 percent of the vote for the Ward 1 Moore city council seat. Ward 2 and Ward 3 were noncompetitive races, with Jason Blair returning unopposed for Ward 3 and Scott Singer as the only filer for the Ward 2 seat replacing Kathy Griffith.
The Rose State College special election passed 64.4 to 35.6 percent, with only two Cleveland County precincts — 140078 and 140087 — participating in the question.
The bond issue for Rose State College was for $21.9 million in renovation and repair projects. Large projects included in the bond issue were the expansion and renovation of the library, repair of the swimming pool and upgrades in equipment. The most recent renovation to the library was an expansion in 1981. Since that time, growth of the school has created crowding difficulties in the facility.
One expected improvement in the proposal is an auditorium to be used as a lecture hall associated with the library. Officials expect the bond to raise property taxes for those families affected by $3.34 per month for a $200,000 home.
Voting in Ward 1 of Moore was surprisingly light for the only competitive city council race between Krows, Carl Britton Jr. and Eric Beu. Polls opened at 7 a.m. and by 5:30 p.m., the two precincts — which vote at Providence Church on South Broadway — had only been visited by 67 voters and three voters, respectively.
With only 307 total votes cast, Krows received 230, more than double the total of the other two candidates combined.
Britton was magnanimous in defeat when asked about his feelings on the race.
"I would like to offer my congratulations to Mr. Krows. The race was very well done, Krows is well respected in this community and the people came out and showed their support for him. The only thing I'm disappointed about is the fact there are 18,000 people in this ward and just over 300 voted. That's a little disappointing," Britton said.
Beu also was disappointed in the low voter turnout, explaining that the 307 votes cast constitutes less than 2 percent of residents living in Ward 1.
"It's a little sad. I'm not saying the outcome would have been any different had there been more voters. I'm just a little disappointed in the low turnout," Beu said.
Beu continued by talking about his conversation with both Krows and Britton following the final returns on the election.
"I called them both and thanked them for a good race and congratulated Mr. Krows on winning the election. I look forward to Mr. Krows' third term as city councilman," he said.
Robert Krows was in high spirits following his win.
"We are impressed with the numbers. It's nice any time you get 75 percent of the vote. It just goes to show the people are happy with their representation and they think the city is moving in the right direction," Krows said.
When asked his perspective on the low turnout, Krows had a realistic view.
"It's about what we figured. The voters just went through a presidential election and then a big bond issue and now a city council election with only one ward. So, the small turnout is no surprise," he said.
Krows also was impressed with the respectful tone of the race and expressed appreciation for his opponents' desire to serve the people of Moore.
"I'm always impressed with anyone who wants to serve on the city council. It's a lot of time to spend for almost no money, so anyone who wants to devote their time to the people of their community is impressive," he said.

"No that's not true," says the witness.
Again, Evelyn driving home the point that Xcel ended up doing more work than anticipated when Woodhouse had to step in.
Later meeting minutes shows that many items are completed or in progress. Lists about 17 sub-contractors who have been contacted. Minutes are prepared by Woodhouse.
Witness says Woodhouse took meeting minutes. Implying that's all he did and did not drive the meetings.
Sidebar called.
Evelyn asks for 5 minute break. Judge agrees.
12:00PM Evelyn promises he is almost finished. Says during break he showed witness documents to review. Evelyn says they were all prepared by Bobby Toliver of Xcel. Range from April 2006 through May 2006.
Looking at an RFI (Request for Information) from Bobby Toliver to JOA. It's a response to a question on a trench drain.
The witness fired David Cypher in 2004. Evelyn says the problems that required the witness to fire him impeded the progress of the project. The witness disagrees.
Evelyn discussing witness's friendship with Woodhouse. Saying that the witness called up Woodhouse this fall. Witness says he did not call him but that Woodhouse visited him in his office.
Evelyn asks if witness is still frightened by the FBI visit. Witness says no. Evelyn saying that witness asked to borrow $5,000 from Woodhouse. Witness says no. Evelyn tells witness under oath. Witness says he doesn't remember asking for it but he did not get $5,000.
12:10PM Jim Thomas cross-examines for Kwame Kilpatrick.
Thomas asking about when FBI agents approached the witness. Witness says he was alone at his office. Witness says he was alone at the meeting and was scared.
Witness agrees that he was asked about questions about Kilpatrick's administration.
Thomas says witness told FBI about dealings with Kilpatrick and asked if he gave anything of value to people of city government. Thomas saying that witness told them he did not give the city money. Thomas also saying it was the FBI who brought up a rumor about the witness sending an envelope with money to a clothing store. Witness agrees that he never told them about a purchase of clothing for Kilpatrick at that interview. Also told them he didn't give any money.
"Are you having problems remembering things?," asks Thomas. Evelyn prodded witness's memory as well. Defense seems to think all witnesses must suffer from dementia.
Thomas asking about a Christmas party that witness threw in 2001. Kilpatrick was not invited but he went with Larry Alebiosu. Witness had contracts with city of Detroit under Archer at that time: Erma Henderson Marina amongst them. Thomas says witness wasn't taken off of any projects after Kilpatrick took office. No says witness.
Talking about the Erma Henderson Marina ribbon cutting ceremony. Both witness and Kilpatrick were there.
Thomas asks if witness took part in any of the other 7 park projects aside from Heilmann during Kilpatrick's administration. Witness says yes on several small ones.
Witness says he was at a police ceremony ribbon cutting ceremony possibly in 2003. Both witness and Kilpatrick there.
Thomas saying that witness helped in Manoogian Mansion renovation in 2002 and 2003. Witness agrees.
Witness says he got a message in 2002 from his secretary saying Kilpatrick's secretary called to request he go meet with the mayor. Witness did not go.
Witness says he did meet with mayor in Ferguson's office in 2002.
Looking at mayor's agenda for July 29th 2003 lists a 4pm meeting in Bernard White's office with Ferguson, JOA.
Thomas saying that with all this contact he did not need Larry Alebiosu to facilitate meeting mayor. Witness says that is not correct.

Bucshon open, honest and informed on district issues
Congressman Larry Bucshon has publicly been accused of lying about the Affordable Healthcare Act. The fact is that Dr. Bucshon (a very experienced and successful heart surgeon) is clearly one of the most educated persons on that issue in the Indiana 8th Congressional District, perhaps in the entire nation.
He has not only read and studied the entire law, he has enriched his objectivity by holding several public panel hearings on the topic throughout the district (including Vigo County). Those panels routinely included hospital administrators, professional economists, attorneys, union representatives, insurance professionals, Chamber of Commerce leaders and other practicing physicians. No panelist was invited with any criteria of political status. The media reported their reactions in each instance, hopefully with expected objectivity and judgment.
In addition, he has publicly advertised and conducted many open meetings throughout the district. At each of those "town hall meetings" there were in the audience people announcing different political preferences who had opportunity to pose questions on any governmental issue. Congressman Bucshon attempted to openly respond to each question (including those regarding the healthcare law) during the meeting.
Those in attendance witnessed that he also scheduled personal conferences with those requesting added details than the meeting time allowed. While some attendees expressed disagreement with the congressman's explanations, no one ever suggested that he had lied or even "spinned" in his rationales or documentation.
Unfortunately, some of those meetings were poorly attended, but in those cases there were additional opportunities for individual discussions that he welcomed. Dr. Bucshon did not reject any question at any meeting. The media reported their reactions in each instance, hopefully with expected objectivity and judgment.
When any person accuses Congressman Bucshon of lying they are clearly ignorant of the facts. Incidentally, ignorance is referring to being unaware of facts, not the same as stupidity that refers to inability to logically comprehend facts. Everyone has had multiple opportunities to become educated on the facts of this law, had the unusually frequent opportunities to personally discuss government issues with Dr. Bucshon, and could always refer to the law itself if they are seeking public facts about the law.
Those who availed themselves of their chances to personally witness that Dr. Bucshon is consistently informed, open and honest in his public or personal performances, and unusually accessible to his constituents do not insult his personal character nor his statesmanship. To accuse him of lying is simply evidence of blatant ignorance of the facts, particularly in regards to his performance concerning the healthcare law.
Bucshon has a Vigo County office with a part-time area staff agent or secretary at 901 Wabash in Terre Haute (and elsewhere in the 8th District) for any governmental issue. He consistently endeavors to personally respond to every written request. Congressional rules prohibit handling of campaign matters at government offices. There is a Bucshon for Congress 2012 Campaign office at 1472 Wabash Ave. (open evenings when volunteers can be there with campaign materials or concerns). Check the Bucshon for Congress web page for details. His government office is allowed to inform hours and location of the volunteer campaign office.
On a personal note, I want to urge citizens to be informed and responsible about claims of government officials' behaviors because it is getting steadily more difficult to entice qualified patriots to consider being a candidate when slander or libel has become a serious disadvantage to them and/or their families.
American officials (at all levels and parties) should not have to condition themselves, their spouses or children about unfounded public accusations. Intelligent and responsible citizens should help discourage such ignorance. If a problem is a fact, prove the fact objectively and responsibly (both publicly and privately).

Why Richard Mourdock fails
The current Republican tea party candidate running for a U.S. Senate seat is flawed on more than one aspect and not someone that should be sent to D.C. as a representative for Indiana. While some are filled with glee of a possible Mourdock victory in November, those same people will begrudge the facts regarding their cherished tea party candidate.
Let's take a look at some true aspects of Richard Mourdock shall we, you know, the parts that his ads are not going to tell you.
Mr. Mourdock is opposed to the Affordable Health Care Act, something that is in fact paid for and working to the benefit of millions and is also very popular and supported; unlike the Iraq and Afghanistan "wars" that were not paid for or popular nor was there ever a plan to pay for them; they were conveniently left out of budgets during Bush's terms.
Mourdock stands with private enterprise and their bottom line and to the point that he agrees that a company has the right to not cover a major illness like cancer: "Does that employer have the right to do it? I would say yes they do if they want to keep their health care costs down, but it also means it's less likely you're going to want to work here. If that employer wants to get the best employees coming in the door he's going to offer the best insurance possible."
Mourdock likes to appear as something he is not in his ads, a down home good-ol' boy who "cares" about people and who wants to work for us. Well, that could not be further from the truth and in a brass display of honesty, he let us know exactly how he really feels, which is like a dictator:
"I certainly think bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view. … If we [win the House, Senate, and White House], bipartisanship means they have to come our way, and if we're successful in getting the numbers, we'll work towards that."
Earlier in the year he was busy trying to distance himself from the tea party, the vary base that helped him beat Lugar. I am sure you all know how the adage of "lipstick on a pig" goes, so I don't think I need to explain it. His devotion to tea party ideologies runs deep. Here is a guy that questions the constitutionality of Social Security, Medicare and has spent millions in taxpayer dollars on a lawsuit that could have cost Indiana 100,000 jobs and, if elected, will do nothing in the Senate but be another dead-beat Republican.
Richard may have an ad stating that he does not have it out for Social Security, basically saying "Look, here are my parents on Social Security and Medicare, well why would I do such a thing??!!" Ads say one thing while his actions say another. Paul Ryan, (you know, the guy with the plan to end Social Security and Medicare along with other social programs) recently came through Indianapolis and endorsed as well as fundraised for none other than Richard Mourdock. Republicans and their tea party base have their sights set on all social programs, and if given a chance would gut those services to nonexistence. In Republican-tea party eyes, corporate welfare trumps social welfare.
Among other things, Mourdock opposed the automotive industry rescue, which if not helped would have had disastrous consequences. Mourdock also wanted to go to court to block the Chrysler bankruptcy as well.
Mourdock has a laundry list of out-of-touch and out-of-date ideals; some are just foolish and others display blatant ignorance and irrationality. Richard Mourdock holds a hard right and reckless ideology which is also held by Larry Bucshon, Mike Pence and Dan Coats (a former lobbyist, no less). Mindsets that have no place in any government office, be it local or federal.
Conservatism fails us all, and the people who call themselves Republicans today are not the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower or Hoover.

Job well done in West Terre Haute
The West Terre Haute Water Works has been working very hard to utilize the electronic billing system the Town Board purchased in 2005. The Oct. 1, 2012, billing will be the second consecutive month of 99.5 percent of bills printed without the possibility of human error.
Congratulations to the staff of Chuck Stranahan, Larry Fields, Ron Stevens and Emilee Woolley for this achievement.
The meter is read electronically. The meter readings are interpreted by a computer. Everyone is billed exactly what the computer says. There is no chance of human error. Therefore, customers with a high or higher bill should check for a leak. The customers finding leaks can save twice — once with the water bill and once with the waste water bill.
The job has been well done by Chuck, Larry, Ron and Emilee for the customers of the West Terre Haute Water and Waste Water Departments.

Nation's destiny hangs in balance
The divisions along party lines this election year have reached colossal proportions. Today's Democrats are often referred to as progressive liberals with many taking positions so foreign to established beliefs and so removed from the basic principles of our Constitution that it is difficult to find any semblance to the core beliefs of yesterday's Democratic Party. Certainly not my daddy's party.
Who could have imagined that this nation would elect as its president a man who had never held an actual job or administrative position, had no recognized accomplishments to his credit, had been known to have used at least three different names and who had taken every possible precaution to ensure all documented records of his past history were sealed away from the very people who would elect him?
But for some inexplicable reason, Obama's pitiably lacking credentials never seemed to reflect on his popularity and by the time the sordid history of close associations with domestic terrorists, hate-motivated preachers and convicted felons were exposed, his supporters had apparently adjusted to his unorthodox affiliations.
Shortly after his election when Obama began appointing known radicals, Marxists and even Communists as his White House czars, selections that would have spelled the demise of any former president, his choices were treated so causally they didn't even make the evening news.
Obama's liberal following provided him unconditional support, but so did the media. Almost from the very beginning, Obama was hyped, indulged, pandered and coddled by the press but never was he criticized, not even when he displayed his contempt for long-established traditions such as his refusal to wear a flag lapel pin or on those occasions where he did not place his hand over his heart during the observance of the Pledge Allegiance and the national anthem.
Once upon a time America relied on unbiased reporting from its evening news to stay abreast of current affairs and opinionated commentaries were rare and very much frowned upon. But tragically the media has since morphed into a replica of Pravda, an organized system for delivering liberal propaganda by political activists intent on influencing their audiences. Since Obama first entered the political arena, the media has provided Obama with protection and unparalleled support.
Although Obama's propensity for the unconventional can be very disconcerting, it is his plans for America's future that are most worrisome. Obama has a mission and he identifies it in his book "Dreams from my Father." Obama has never tried to hide his ideology, though he often sidesteps it for election purposes. With just a little effort, you too can find out where he intends to lead America.
In his book, Obama claims that as he sat at his father's grave and spoke to him through Africa's red soil and pledged to take up his Muslim father's struggle against the injustice of capitalism and free markets. Being a committed socialist, the Senior Obama hated colonialism and capitalists, believing that any profits derived from the free market system was directly correlated to the degree society had been pillaged in order to generate them.
These sentiments are somewhat tantamount to Obama's socialistic views, believing that only the government, not individuals, should be allowed to control and distribute the wealth of a nation. Sound familiar? This year's Democratic convention was actually premised on the theme that "we all belong to the government," a huge contrast from America's long-standing belief that "the government belongs to us."
Our free enterprise system of government is not perfect, it has never been perfect, but it the closest thing to perfect you are going to find on this earth. For 236 years it has provided Americans with freedom of choice- opportunities to succeed — and the highest standard of living this world has ever known.
Will America vote to exchange the dreams of our nation's founding fathers for the dreams of Obama's father?
I pray not, because this election will determine the destiny of this great country.

What about state fireworks law?
I must respond to the letter from Robert L. Carter in the Wednesday, Sept. 26 edition of the Tribune-Star regarding the Terre Haute City Council allowing anyone to shoot off fireworks any night of the year until 11 p.m.
Now, I don't know if this is true or not, but the State of Indiana has an Indiana Fireworks Law. Under the section for Use of Fireworks, Time, Sec. 8(a) and Consumer Fireworks; IC 22-14-11-6(d), it states: "they cannot be used before 9 a.m. or after 11 p.m. However, during state declared holidays, they may be used until Midnight. Pursuant to IC 1-1-91(a), the following are legal holidays withing the State of Indiana for all purposes: New Year's Day, January 1, Martin Luther King, Jr's Birthday, the third Monday in January, Abraham Lincoln's Birthday, February 12\George Washington's Birthday, the third Monday in February, Good Friday, a movable feast day, Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, Independence Day, July 4, Labor Day, the first Monday in September, Columbus Day, the second Monday in October, Election Day, the day of any general, municipal, or primary election, Veterans Day, November 11, Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November."
I am not an attorney, so I cannot say for sure, but it is my opinion that local ordinances cannot supersede state ordinances.
Maybe if the city would look at the state law, it would be helpful.

Enthusiasm for Rick Burger
The citizens of Vigo County will soon be faced with an important decision; who will be elected to the Vigo County Council.
While all of the candidates are capable, I find myself asking who is the most passionate about fulfilling the duties of county council at-large. My decision is quite simple — vote for Rick Burger.
Just from talking to him about the issues facing the county, you can see the passion in his eyes, in his facial expressions and in the words he speaks. Rick Burger has a long history of service and leadership in Vigo County. He has given generously of his time to various causes. He is committed to the welfare and prosperity of Vigo County. Rick loves his community and that is evident in the many boards he sits on and the charities he volunteers for.
No one will try harder than Rick Burger.

Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America, lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a televised event where they must fight to the death.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love. Read more >
Sparks are igniting, flames are spreading and the Capitol wants revenge.
Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol-- a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.
Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.
In Catching Fire, the second novel of the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen, testing her more than ever before... and surprising readers at every turn. Read more >
My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be dead.
Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.
It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plains--except Katniss.
The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay--no matter what the personal cost. Read more >
