Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is surgery to treat excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain (hydrocephalus
This article discusses this type of surgery in children.
This procedure is done in the operating room under general anesthesia. It takes about 1 1/2 hours.
An area of hair on the child's head is shaved off. This may be behind the ear, or on the top or back of the head.
The surgeon makes a cut in the shape of a horseshoe (U-shape) behind the ear. Another small surgical cut is made in the child's belly.
A small hole is drilled in the skull. A small thin tube called a catheter is passed into a ventricle of the brain. This can be done with or without a computer as a guide. It can also be done with an endoscope that allows to see inside the ventricle.
Another catheter is placed under the skin behind the ear and moved down the neck and chest, and usually into the belly area. Sometimes, it stops at the chest area. The doctor may make a small cut in the neck to help position it.
A valve (fluid pump) is placed underneath the skin behind the ear. The valve is connected to both catheters. When extra pressure builds up around the brain, the valve opens, and excess fluid drains out of it into the belly or chest area. This helps decrease intracranial pressure.
The valves in newer shunts can be programmed to drain more or less fluid from the brain.
Shunt - ventriculoperitoneal; VP shunt; Shunt revision
This surgery is done when you have too much cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain and spinal cord. This is called hydrocephalus. It causes higher than normal pressure on the brain. It can cause brain damage.
Children may be born with hydrocephalus. It can occur with other birth defects of the spinal column or brain.
Shunt surgery should be done as soon as hydrocephalus is diagnosed.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
Possible risks of ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement are:
The shunt may stop working. If this happens, fluid will begin to build up in the brain again.
If the procedure is not an emergency (planned surgery):
Ask your doctor or nurse about eating and drinking before the surgery. The general guidelines are:
Your doctor may ask you to wash your child with a special soap on the morning of the surgery. Rinse well after using this soap.
Your child will need to lie flat for 24 hours the first time a shunt placed. After that your child will be helped to sit up.
The child will probably stay in the hospital for 2-4 days. The health care team will closely monitor your child.
The child will receive:
Shunt placement is usually successful in reducing pressure in the brain. But if hydrocephalus
is related to other conditions, such as spina bifida
, brain tumor
, meningitis
, encephalitis
, or hemorrhage, these conditions could affect the prognosis. The severity of hydrocephalus present before surgery will also affect the outcome.
Support groups for families of children with hydrocephalus or spina bifida are available in most areas.
The major complications to watch for are an infected shunt and a blocked shunt.

Ezra Klein points out that Senate GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell proposed chucking out the debt ceiling in the summer of 2011. I hadn't known this before but it is not at all surprising.
Of course members of Congress want to shirk their responsibility for the debt. It would be far preferable, from their points of view, to avoid having to take responsibility for the debt by affirmatively voting to increase the debt ceiling.
McConnell's plan, which sounds identical to the one Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has proposed, is a masterpiece of shirking.
(Read more: Boehner on 'Cliff' Talks: 'We're Almost Nowhere')
It would permit the president to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling unless congress affirmatively votes against it. It then gives the president veto power over this act of Congress, requiring a supermajority to overturn the veto.
The practical effect of this would be to allow a majority of lawmakers to get away with voting against accumulating more debt without taking any responsibility for what would happen if the debt ceiling wasn't raised.
By making a vote against raising the debt ceiling entirely symbolic, this reform would promote anti-debt voting. Within a year or two of the passage of this reform, I predict Republican lawmakers will start making pledges to always vote "no" on raising the debt ceiling.
(Read more: Who's Who Among 'Cliff' Players)
This is very likely to lead very quickly to a situation in which the president must use his veto to overcome the anti-debt majority. The result of that will be the issuance—for the first time ever in American history—of debt issued by the United States government in direct defiance of a congressional majority.
It's not beyond reason to suppose that a Congress that saw its will defied on the debt ceiling might attempt to attack the debt in other ways. Lawmakers could, for instance, instead refuse to authorize interest payments on counter-majority debt. In other words, we'd wind up having a very public fight over the debt anyway. Only this one would be far more dangerous, since we'd be arguing about whether we should make payments on bonds already issued rather than about whether to issue more bonds.
(Read more: MLB Players Fear the 'Fiscal Cliff,' Too!)
(Read more: Cliff's XXX Victim: The Mustang Ranch)
Very many bright people say that by authorizing spending in excess of taxes collected, congress is implicitly authorizing the issuance of debt. This isn't technically true, since the U.S. government is the supplier of its own currency and doesn't need to find that currency in the debt market in order to finance its operations. Congress could, for example, authorize the Treasury to spend newly printed dollars. Accumulating debt is always a policy choice for the U.S. government.
It's also unsound to assume that implicitly authorized debt is exactly the same thing as explicitly authorized debt. Throughout the history of our Republic, all debt issued by the United States government was explicitly authorized by an act of Congress. Moving to implicit authorization is a major change.
Would investors feel that this kind of debt was as safe as debt explicitly authorized by congress? We don't know. We've never tried it. But it doesn't seem like the kind of thing we should risk.
Nonetheless, I won't be surprised if Congress attempts to abandon the debt ceiling. Lawmakers hate being saddled with the responsibilities the Constitution assigns them. If the president wants unilateral debt authority, Congress will probably give it to him.

Have you ever realized you had a bill sitting around that was due today? Or worse, yesterday? If you are lucky you can pay the bill online but that's not always an option (I've found that some companies have a cut-off time).
There was a time when I had a lot of credit card debt. Digging out of it was tough but what made it harder was paying late fees because I would miss the credit card due date by a few days or so. There was just about nothing more frustrating than looking through your bills and realizing one was already past due!
I definitely needed a bill/pay calendar system that would work for me!
So how can we avoid paying bills late?
You can pay the bill immediately. But if you are like me you would rather keep the money in savings for as along as possible or you budget in such a way that certain bills get paid with different paychecks.
You can write the date you need to pay the bill on the envelope. I do this. Usually this works great. Problems occur when you don't notice the date or forget to keep up with the bill. That happens to me too!
So what's another fail safe you can use?
I've been experimenting with Google Calendar to set up reminders to pay my bills on time!
When I get a bill I open it up and check out the due date. I then determine when I have to actually pay the bill to make sure I meet the due date. For example: If I have to mail a bill I give myself about a week. For online bills I pad a few days before the due date. If I need to transfer money I give myself about a week too to make sure the money gets transferred over (I keep my savings in my Capital One 360 Savings account).
Next I write that date on the bill. That's one fail safe.
The real useful fail safe is Google Calendar.
I take my bill and log onto my account, go to the day I need to pay the bill by, and write in a reminder that gets emailed to me when it comes up. Since my cell gets email it's like an extra reminder since it's on my phone and my computer!
Let me show you how I set up Google Calendar as my Bill/Pay Calendar:
Log onto your Google Calendar and open up the month for your bill due date:
Click on the day you need to pay your bill on, enter the bill name, and hit "edit event details":
Enter the details (date; what the bill is; whatever you need):
Click on Options:
Here's an important part – Click Add a Reminder. Set the reminder to Email (this will send you an email reminder):
Viola! You've now setup a reminder in Google Calendar to remind you when to pay your bill!
Update: You can also set up Google Calendar to send you a text message as well.
So far this has worked really great for me. The key to this is to make sure your enter you bill in GCal when you get the bill. I've used this to remind me about car payments as well as credit card due dates.
How do you keep track of your bill's due dates?
Additional resources to help with your budget and pay bills:
Many online checking accounts offer free online bill pay as part of their banking and you can find similar services through your credit card.

These earrings are truly beautiful, I actually wonder if they are real moonstone or synthetic because they are that nice. The silver wire workmanship is done uniquely and very nice. The actual silver wire that goes through your ear however, is thin and arrived a little bent. Obviously I can unbend them but worry a bit on their longevity. They also could be replaced if need be. Overall, I am really happy even if they turned out to not be natural moonstone. The story on the women in China is sad at it's very least, tragic really. Except for the grace of God, there go I.
I am not sure if I didn't read the product information but these earrings look great online and beautiful in person, however the stones are plastic not real! They were cheap so I kept them. The wire catches on my clothes sometimes because it wasn't tucked in.
very pretty earrings however the silver wrap around the top of the earring is not soldered and comes unwrapped
The picture shown does not do justice to these earrings! They came more sparkly the expected and are the perfect size! They are nice yet casual so they can be worn with most outfits! I love them!
Pretty earrings and good value for the price. Wish they had different backs so that I wont lose them. Pretty stone presented in the earrings.
These are unique earrings. They bring light to your face as they illuminate on your ears.
these earrings are very nice, but on a heavier side. i can't wear them all day.
When the light shines through these earrings arrays of multiple colors shine.

Summary of Raptus Summary of Raptus Reviews for Raptus An Excerpt from Raptus
New from a poet whose "intensity makes the world visible" (Linda Gregg)
"Everywhere, a forceful, scrupulous intelligence is active- a luminous diction, a range of cadences." So has Mark Strand written of the work of Joanna Klink, who has won acclaim for elegant, sensual, and musical poems that "remain alert to the reparations of beauty and song" (Dean Young). The linked poems in Klink's third collection, Raptus, search through a failed relationship, struggling with the stakes of compassion, the violence of the outside world, and the wish to anchor both in something true.

General Description:Mayview perfectionclassic mountain retreat lovingly restored and renovated retains all of the charm and quality of the original yet easily meets or exceeds the demands of todays discerning buyer.
The home features original wood floors, hand hewn beams in great room, three Grandfather Stone fireplaces, and andirons and door hardware made by a descendant of Daniel Boone. Rooms are graciously sized and the great room, dining room, den and library areas all combine to make ample indoor entertaining spaces and open up to the large covered porch and portocochere and attached carport for even more possibilities outdoors.
The master bedroom wing, added in 2001, features the library, large utility room, office with built in cabinetry, exercise room, hobby room, storage closet as well as the master suite complete with his and her closets, and custom cabinetry throughout.
The chefs kitchen was completed remodeled in 2005. Beautiful wood cabinets, Zodiac countertops, stainless built in appliances, pantry and breakfast area with huge windows overlooking landscaped grounds.
The lower level of the original home is typical of many older homes in that the ceiling height is less than 7 feet so its square footage of 1469SF is not included in overall square footage numbers. There is a large den/playroom that the sellers grandchildren have most enjoyed with room for a pool table and all kinds of games and features the third stone fireplace, now with gas logs.
There is also a workshop and storage room on this level but the star feature is the good sized wine cellar crafted from the stone foundation walls and very well laid out.
The upstairs offers plenty of room for guests and family with 3 large bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. There is an office located on this floor as well, and this could be converted to additional sleeping space if desired. This level also has a second utility room for the home.
One of the most endearing qualities of this home is the sweet covered front porch which runs the length of the main house and overlooks mature trees and beautiful grounds. With over an acre of space, theres room to continue the beautiful plantings already there and the entire parcel is walkablea rare thing indeed in mountain property!
This property also has a 1000 square foot guest cottage in good condition for overflow guests or perhaps a caretaker.
Overall square footage for this home is 6447 SF for the house itself and 1000 SF guest home plus the additional usable space in the lower level of the main house not counted here. There are 3 separate heating and AC (gas pac) systems for the home.

In a curious development in this campaign, Bob Wolford, candidate for county commissioner, seems to want to distance himself from supporting the XPUD, an amendment in 2006 to the land use code that would have gutted both the code and the planning commission, as well as doubling the density for development in the county. This proposal was supported by then Republican Party Chair Ralph Walchle and the members of the Republican Central Committee.
Why would I think that Bob Wolford supported the same proposal?
First, Judy Wolford, his wife, berated me at length on the evening of the aborted XPUD hearing for sending out a mailing questioning the merits of the XPUD and encouraging people to attend the public hearing. Mrs. Wolford used the first person plural "we" in opposing any objection to the XPUD. I think anyone would have assumed she was referring to herself and her husband.
Second, one prominent Republican confirmed to me that Bob Wolford supported the XPUD.
Third, the Republican Central Committee members which were supporting the XPUD (and the wing of the party they represent) are backing Wolford's candidacy now. I think even many registered Republicans are nervous about that.
If Bob Wolford wants to say now that he did not support the XPUD, that's fine, and I think most people in Ouray County would welcome him distancing himself from a bad proposal.
But the key point here is that Wolford has either been on the wrong side of, or been silent on, important issues that affect the future and character of this county (witness his silence this summer on the assault on Sec. 6.13 of the land use code that would have taken away the control of property owners in their own subdivisions).
Lynn Padgett has been just the opposite. For years, she has demonstrated a vocal leadership position on protecting the land use code and other issues that count heavily for our county.
That is an important distinction between these two candidates.
– John Hollrah, Chair of the Ouray County Democratic Party

5/15/2013 | Rivera's roots shaping his baseball farewell
As he puts the finishing touches on a baseball career bound to take him to the Hall of Fame, Mariano Rivera chooses to say goodbye without the fanfare and festivities, but rather by reaching out to the grassroots of baseball, the so-called "little people" who do such big jobs to make baseball what it is.

The closer you look, the more the 2013 Yankees look like a mirage. Until you look at their bullpen. The Yanks have MLB's second-best record despite the seventh-best run differential thanks to the fact they just don't lose leads.
5/14/2013 | Corbin improves to 6-0 as D-backs shut out Braves

D-backs outfielder Gerardo Parra warned Justin Upton not to try and challenge his arm during the game Monday night.
5/14/2013 | Dome-field advantage: Joyce's quirky hit lifts Rays

5/14/2013 | Weaver feels good, but will need rehab starts
Angels ace Jered Weaver felt good after a 60-pitch, high-intensity bullpen session on Tuesday afternoon. So good, in fact, that if it were up to him, his next step -- an 80-pitch session which will be broken up in 20-pitch installments scheduled for Friday -- will be his last before returning to the Angels' rotation.
5/14/2013 | Bullpen wilts after hobbled Felix stifles Yankees

5/14/2013 | McCann quickly regaining timing at the plate
The veteran Braves catcher has made a good impression during his first week back at the Major League level.
5/14/2013 | Staked to early lead, Bailey goes distance
Xavier Paul's bases-clearing double capped a five-run second inning that gave Homer Bailey all the support he would need, as the Reds beat the Marlins, 6-2, before 14,694 at Marlins Park on Tuesday night.
5/14/2013 | Story of Hamilton, Angels turning into a bad movie
For the millions of baseball fans in Southern California, there are no special effects fancy enough to make them buy into the Angels as World Series contenders. Not now. Perhaps a script doctor will swoop in before it gets too late. This club will not make any kind of run at the playoffs unless Josh Hamilton gets his head out of the clouds.
5/14/2013 | Blue Jays move Morrow's start to Saturday

On Election Night 2012, the typical will replace the magical.
As for the "fresh and progressive new light" Obama's election cast on Chicago?
The Chicago that the media broadcast to the world lately is one that, for all its glories, is still shadowed by struggling schools, political scoundrels and young people killing young people in impoverished, mostly black, neighborhoods. In other words, a city that looks a lot like it did before the election of Chicago's own.
That's not to say that Chicago and Obama no longer matter to each other. Not as much, but they do.
Go to Valois, the Hyde Park cafeteria-style restaurant Obama used to frequent, and you can find plenty of Obama enthusiasts ordering from the giant poster labeled "President Obama's Favorites."
Go to the Hyde Park Hair Salon, where Obama used to get his hair cut, and you'll find an Obama sticker on the window, plus barbers who still proclaim him a guy from the neighborhood. On Thursday, when I stopped by, you also would have found a Swiss television crew, seeking the Chicago angle.
Go to Europe and say you're from Chicago, and you're likely to encounter strangers who instead of replying "Al Capone!" now say "Obama!" and usually as a compliment.
At the White House, the president remains surrounded by Chicago aides. At Chicago City Hall, one of those former aides is now the mayor.
And Obama's presidency has introduced the term "the Chicago Way" into the national vocabulary; it is often inappropriately applied and never a compliment.
No one should be surprised that the magic of Grant Park four years ago has given way to more complicated moods. Magic, like all forms of romance, is not built to last.
Walking away from the park that night, I passed some college-age students, who had probably voted for the first time, making fun of Obama's rival.
"John McCain!" one cackled. "You're old! You're a loser!"
That arrogance stuck with me as vividly as the evening's more uplifting scenes. I wanted to say:
Dude! You're young! You think this is how politics works? You pick a candidate, you vote, you win and the world changes? Wait. You'll learn that change rarely happens fast. That even winning politicians surrender something vital to survive.
And that almost nothing is as exciting the second time around.
Election Day 2012, whoever wins, will be very different from Election Day 2008, in Chicago and elsewhere.
But it's important to remember this: Something extraordinary did happen four years ago.
A country with a racist past elected a dark-skinned president who lives in a city with its share of racial shame.
That election didn't change the city or the country as much as some people hoped. It changed things in ways other people deplore.
Either way, it left a valuable mark.
The other day I visited a Chicago public grade school where almost all the students are black. On the wall was a big picture of President Obama next to words like "Has kinky hair," "Has brown skin," "Lives in Chicago."
The overarching caption beside the photo was something that was barely imaginable until that night in Grant Park:
"Just Like Me."
That's part of what happened in Chicago four years ago. Since that night, a black kid in Chicago can look at the president and think, "Just like me."¿
That will always matter, no matter what happens next, and no matter how much those newspapers fade.

The Civil Society Institute is a program dedicated to educating students in the classic themes of political economy and their relevance to contemporary policy issues.
In addition to training top undergraduate students, CSI also hosts public lectures and events to create a regular "coffee-house" for the Silicon Valley community to explore ideas and policy issues in classical liberal / libertarian thought.
CSI faculty consists of David Friedman, Henry Demmert, Fred Foldvary, Robert Finocchio, and Kerry Macintosh with Foldvary and Demmert as Directors.
Philosophy of CSI:
In the view of the Institute, the current political and intellectual culture overvalues governmental direction and control of society.

Thank you so much. Such a simple solution... And here i wasted about 2 hours on nothing. But thanks. Now I can continue.
Thank you so much. Such a simple solution... And here i wasted about 2 hours on nothing. But thanks. Now I can continue.
Since the game also freezes at Chapter 11, here is the save file (for BLES users) past that so you can continue the game.
If you experience any more freezing at any later levels lets us know.
Just saw this on IRC (untested) but: Uncharted.3.PROPER.FIX.KMEAW355.READNFO.v4-Nobody
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/XLDR0Q8D42
From the updated NFO file via violentcris:
One good leak deserves another. Here's the 100% working fix to Uncharted 3! (for KMEAW 3.55 CFW)
Follow these steps IN ORDER:
(1) Move PSARC.EXE + zlib.net.dll to \USRDIR\build\main\ of your UNCHARTED 3 GAME DATA folder (not the one included with this package)
(2) Extract ALL *.psarc's into the folder they are already in (\USRDIR\build\main\) on your HDD by dragging each .PSARC file onto PSARC.EXE (delete the .PSARC files after you have extracted them to folders)
When you're done it should look like this:
IMPORTANT: When you unpack bin.psarc it creates two folders - empty bin folder and one bindc1 folder with files. Rename folder bindc1 to dc1 and put it in the \main\bin\ folder so it looks like this: \main\bin\dc1\
(3) Now, merge included USRDIR folder with the existing one where you extracted your psarcs. OVERWRITE all files when prompted.
(4) Transfer to your PS3, load in Multiman, launch from XMB.

Minor edits
Minor edits for added clarity
minor path fix
Thanks for this boss , if someone reports it working I'll let you guys know. I will also +Rep anyone who does confirm this working.
I missed it earlier, but apparently Mathieulh originally posted it a few hours ago so it may be legit indeed.
Confirmed working on IRC as the topic changed
I just fear we going to get a lot of noobs, i hope someone will write a guide for them
this was also later added :
IMPORTANT: There is one mis-type in the archive!! Correct directory is "movie1" (not movies1)
Note: This is not yet tested!
Anyone knows if this is for Kmeaw only or could it work on Waninkoko too? I think I still have a couple of hours to confirm it myself.
i just try, the game can boot, but it stuck on the ring loading screen.
one question, for the directory, my directory is \USRDIR\build\main\actor33\ instead of \USRDIR\build\actor33\, do i need to remove the main folder?

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Omo Manufacturing
The OMO Manufacturing Site in Middletown, CT, currently owned by RLO Properties, has a history of mixed indus¬trial uses. In the late 1800s the OMO Manufacturing Company made rubber and artificial leather products, then in 1934, the City of Middletown used the site as a municipal landfill. Today, the Site has buried drums, contaminated soil and a staging area for various heavy equipment and vehicles. The Site was referred to EPA by CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) in August 2009.
There are a number of contaminants of concern including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and lead in some soil samples on the site. EPA also has found elevated levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the property.
Next Steps
The Site currently houses miscellaneous heavy construction equipment, stockpiles of demolition debris, and a number of vehicles in disrepair. EPA must first decontaminate each of those items, which may have contamination from the soil on them, and then remove those items from the site in order to access the contaminated soil. The process of decontaminating and moving the debris from the site began in July 2013. EPA expects this process will continue for about a month.
The next phase of cleanup will be to remove the miscellaneous stockpiles of bricks, cement blocks and soil from the site. EPA expects this phase of the removal action will also last for about one month.
EPA will then continue environmental sampling to determine if there are additional areas of contamination that need to be addressed.
What to Expect
In July 2013, EPA began moving equipment onto the site to get ready to begin the cleanup work. Workers will be wearing protective equipment which may include white tyvek suits, steel-toed boots and hard hats. This is a standard precaution because these workers will come in direct contact with contamination, and is required by federal OSHA..
Air Monitoring
EPA will be monitoring the air while working to ensure no contamination leaves the site while we are conducting the clean up. Monitoring stations will be set up around the perimeter of the site and will measure any dust or particles. If the monitors show any elevated dust levels, then work will be paused and measures will be taken to evaluate and address the problem with the appropriate engineering controls.
Location: 50 Walnut St., Middletown, CT
Start date: 03/18/2010
End date: Ongoing

Upcoming Heath Evans 7-on-7 to host 6 of 8 state champsby Jason Lieser
The Super Bowl champion has landed some state champions for his annual tournament.
The Heath Evans Foundation said in a press release it will feature six of last year's eight state champions in its 7-on-7 football tournament next month. Dwyer (Class 4A), American Heritage (Class 1A), Glades Day (Class 1B), Miramar (Class 6A), Tampa-Plant (Class 5A) and Pensacola (Class 3A) all have committed to play.
Glades Central, Miami-Washington and King's Academy also have accepted invites, leaving seven open spots for the tournament.
The tournament will be at King's Academy on June 12. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the gate.
Proceeds will go to Evans' foundation, which assists victims of sexual abuse.
Evans, a King's Academy graduate, always has some of his NFL friends show up at the event. Last year, Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Matt Cassel were among the attendees.

A Texas man has pleaded guilty to nine charges of possession of oversized reds, one charge of no saltwater fishing license, and one charge of exceeding the possession limit for red drum, according to Mike Cox with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
The National Marine Fisheries Service is once again tampering with red snapper regulations for recreational anglers, and it's not sitting very well with both fishermen and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. This month, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, part of the NMFS, voted to recommend an emergency rule that could shorten the recreational red snapper fishing season in federal waters off the Texas coast to as little as 11 days from the planned 27 day season.
Beaumont/Port Arthur
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event.

They are considered selfish and their cry insults the ears.
In Finding Nemo, Disney made them pushy predators that squawked "mine, mine, mine" at anyone who invaded their space.
They stand around watching beachgoers with an expression of casual distain that suggests if anyone gets too close, he or she might lose a finger.
They take to the sky with an air of swooping superiority that allows them to use everything below them as a toilet and care little about who or what it hits.
Alfred Hitchcock made them the villains in his classic horror film, The Birds. Everyone seemed to think it was a good choice.
They are scavengers.
Some folks call them "buzzards of the beach."
Want to know where folks set up their umbrellas, chairs, coolers and snacks yesterday? Look at where the seagulls are today.
Yet, this summer I have formed a bond with one particular seagull.
Every morning, weather permitting, it is my habit to go out early and walk the shoreline east toward sunrise. When I reach the stairs that lead up and over to a convenience store, I go up and over and buy a lottery ticket. Then I walk back, enjoying the fantasy I purchased for $1.
Along the way, I pass one of those small public beaches that dot the Florida Panhandle — parking for a few dozen cars, restrooms and stairs down to the sand. These are places where families from inland come to spend the day picnicking, sunning and swimming. Frequently, some of their picnic falls into the sand, where it is left for the gulls.
So every morning the gulls are there, fixed in their fighting posture with feathers ruffled, fussing and squawking — claiming their territory and defending it.
Then, a couple of weeks ago I noticed one of them was missing a foot. All he had was the leg, which he used as expertly as peg-legged Long John Silver used his in Treasure Island.
Still, he was obviously handicapped, for when he walked his peg-leg sank in the sand and he had to flap his wings to regain his balance. My natural sympathy for injured animals, even obnoxious ones, kicked in and I decided that the next day I would bring some cheese crackers to supplement his breakfast.
A word about seagulls.
You can't feed just one.
Toss out a cracker and the next thing you know the whole flock flies in to fight over it. I worried that Peg Leg wouldn't have a chance.
But he did.
Utilizing the quickness that surely contributed to his longevity, he waded into the crowd, fussing and squawking with the rest, and soon he was getting his share of what I tossed.
He was even better when I threw a cracker into the air. In flight, his handicap did not matter. I pitched a cracker above him and sure enough, he took wing and grabbed it. Immediately the whole flock was flying around, squawking and looking for more of what their peg-legged friend had found.
Suddenly, it was a contest between us (Peg Leg and I) and them (every seagull between Panama City and Destin). Our strategy was simple. I would toss a cracker on the sand and the gull-gang would go for it. Except Peg Leg. He would hover in air off to the side, waiting for me to throw him a cracker of his own.
This continued for about a week and then, one morning, he wasn't there.
Other gulls were, so I threw them a cracker or two, hoping Peg Leg would come out of hiding and join the crowd.
He didn't.
I headed on to my destination and just before I reached the stairs I saw a single, solitary gull hard at work on what was left of a fish that had been caught and then thrown away. It was Peg Leg, doing what gulls do.
Now, I don't want to leave you with the idea that seagulls are all about themselves. True, they are as committed to looking out for No. 1 as any man or beast. However, when faced with something that threatens them all, they can and will act together.
Coastal residents tell of how, during hurricane season, when the wind rises and anyone with any sense goes inside, or inland, gulls will form a triangle, the point facing the storm. They will hold the formation until the point-gull is blown over. Then they will allow the gull that had taken the tumble to retire to the back of the triangle while another bird moved up to take its place.
Now, that sort of behavior, if better known, might make folks like seagulls more. Or maybe not.
Meanwhile, the peg-legged seagull and I are hanging in there. Thanks for asking.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Company Profile
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is a holding company that owns a diverse range of businesses, the most significant among them insurance and reinsurance companies including Government Employees Insurance Co., best known by its brand name GEICO, and General Re Corp.. Berkshire Hathaway invests in a portfolio of stocks, bonds and derivatives and holds significant stakes in several blue-chips, such as Coca-Cola. The company also owns, outright, Dairy Queen, See's Candies and NetJets.
BH is operated on a decentralized basis, all overseen by legendary investor Warren Buffett (a.k.a. The Oracle of Omaha) and his handful of trusted lieutenants. Legions of Buffetteers head to the company's annual meeting in Omaha, Neb., a gathering that's been dubbed the Capitalist Woodstock. Menu favorites there: burgers and Cherry Cokes, perhaps reflecting the billionaire's down-to-earth, stick-to-what-you-know approach. His annual letters to shareholders are famous for their readability and emulated by the likes of JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s Jamie Dimon. Two of the Oracle's most-quoted aphorisms of late: "Be fearful when people are greedy, and greedy when people are fearful" and "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked."
The company recently made a big bet on the U.S. railroad industry and the nation's long-term economic prospects with the purchase of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. The addition of a highly regulated, relatively predictable business could help smooth the transition for a successor to Buffett and also signals the challenge in finding deals big enough to be meaningful to the company, given its size. It also points to Buffett's preference for companies with a strong competitive edge over rivals.
While Berkshire Hathaway technically has more than 200,000 employees through its subsidiaries, only 19 actually work at its Omaha headquarters. The company's bare-bones, circa 1999-style Web site doesn't host a careers page. For openings at its subsidiaries, check out each company's separate Web site. One job opportunity of note: Mr. Buffett has been looking for a successor. An annual letter to shareholders described the qualities being sought: "independent thinking, emotional stability, and a keen understanding of both human and institutional behavior."

Kaminska will find out this week if the Pirates add him to their 40-man roster or leave him available for the Rule 5 draft, where he might appeal to a pitching-thin team like the Cubs.
Going down: The Wall Street Journal's Jonathan Eig had an interesting column last week in which he wrote how his bill for Cubs season tickets had dropped from $13,315.16 to $13,314.56 after the club's announced decrease in prices. That's 60 cents, although the caveat is that he somehow gets eight more tickets, which led to Eig concluding that the per ticket price actually had dropped by about $2, from $60 to $58.
When Eig met with Colin Faulkner, vice president of ticket sales and service, he was told the team has 115,000 on its waiting list, so he shouldn't drop his tickets just because of a 101-loss season.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
"This is not the time to get out,'' Eig quotes Faulkner as saying. "This is the time to double down."
Eig did not order more tickets to be any more in on the ground floor than he already is, but he did renew. The guess here is it was a string of non-renewals that got the White Sox to take a hard look at their ticket pricing. They announced major cuts, with 54 percent of the tickets dropping an average of 26 percent. Outfield reserved seats — in which it's a home run if you catch the ball — dropped 30 percent.
"If you take the so-called good seats, the premier seats, they were the fourth cheapest in all of baseball," White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said last week at the owners meeting near O'Hare. "But then when you got into the lesser-quality seats, they were among the highest in baseball. So what we did was rebalance it. We raised the prices significantly on the inside seats and we've cut the prices substantially on the outside seats just to get where they ought to be."
Don't be surprised if White Sox attendance goes up in 2013 while that of the Cubs continues to decrease.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln … Johnny Damon didn't exactly bring glory to Thailand in the WBC qualifier in Chinese Taipei. He went 3-for-7 in two games representing his mother's heritage, playing first base in one game and designated hitter in the other. Thailand was the first team out, losing 8-2 to the Philippines and 12-2 to New Zealand.
"The experience was amazing. I am glad I get to come represent my mother's country," Damon said. "Hopefully Thailand has a chance to get back (to the WBC). My role is to help out as much as possible."

The Geminid meteor shower 2012, the final major meteor shower of every year and likely to be the best, peaks overnight Dec. 13 until dawn on Dec. 14.
If you liked the Perseids meteor shower 2012 in August, you should love this show. NASA reports that the Geminids are a relatively young meteor shower, with the first sightings occurring in the 1830s with rates of about 20 per hour.
Over the decades the rates have increased, regularly spawning between 80 and 120 per hour at its peak on a clear evening.
How spectacular is it? Just take a look at some spectacular photos of the Geminids.
Earthsky.org reports the Geminids peak might be around 2 a.m. on Dec. 13, because that's when the shower's radiant point is highest in the sky as seen around the world.
The Geminid meteor shower is named after the constellation Gemini, which is located in roughly the same point of the night sky where the Geminid meteor shower appears to originate.
Geminids are pieces of debris from 3200 Phaethon, basically a rocky skeleton of a comet that lost most of its meat and skin -- its outer covering of ice -- after too many close encounters with the sun.
Tips for watching, from Earthsky.org:
Most important: a dark sky. To watch meteors, you need a dark sky away from city lights.
Know your dates and times. Best viewing of the Geminids will probably be from late evening tonight Thursday, Dec. 13 until dawn Friday, Dec. 14.
What to bring: You can comfortably watch meteors from many places, assuming you have a dark sky: your back yard or deck, the hood of your car, the side of a road. Consider a blanket or reclining lawn chair, a thermos with a hot drink, binoculars for gazing along the pathway of the Milky Way. Be sure to dress warmly enough.
Are the predictions reliable? Although astronomers have tried to publish exact predictions in recent years, meteor showers remain notoriously unpredictable.
Your best bet is to go outside at the suggested time -- and hope.
Share your tips for photographing the showers, and tell us your favorite places in the area to sneak off to view the skies in the comments!

I love tasting things. Slowly, I'm getting better at it.
I am a coffee convert; the 5+ cups of strong coffee I used to drink every day has trickled down to 1-2 cups a week, if a pot's already brewed and I'm feeling lazy. Otherwise, tea all the way!
It's been a few months now, which is enough for me to know that everyone likes different things about their cup. Personally I like my teas the way I like my men—strong and naked, with no artificial flavors or preservatives. Also dry, and in a tin. Hah!
Life is interesting and occasionally irritating. Because of this, I am sometimes laser-eyed, but a nice cup of tea usually helps.

Multicultural Affairs & Community Engagement
MACE banner
The Division of Multicultural Affairs and Community Engagement works to transform the lives of our students and the communities we serve by promoting intergroup understanding, equity, social responsibility, and service while working to prevent discrimination. Our work helps to ensure access so that all who can contribute to and benefit from a relationship with Wright State University are welcomed.
The vision of the Division of Multicultural Affairs and Community Engagement is to institutionalize inclusion so that:

- everyone who is touched by Wright State University is in some way empowered to reach their unique potential.
Honoring our University's and Nation's ongoing aspiration to create a sense of community among the many groups that make up our diverse democracy as well as the tradition of shared governance in higher education, we welcome many voices to our conversations, particularly those who have been underrepresented or disenfranchised.
We "walk the talk" of inclusion, modeling the change we would like to see with humility and courage.
We capitalize on the high-level problem solving, creativity, innovation, and synergy that result from partnering with those engaged in similar work.
We strive to help the people with whom we work identify their strengths and abilities to apply to the issues we address together. Our goal is to help others understand and use their own agency. We are servant leaders facilitating the success of students, faculty, staff and our community.
We are relentless in pursuit of our goals related to diversity, inclusion, and civic engagement.
1. Provide educational programming, professional development opportunities and consultation to promote understanding among various cultural/identity groups and individuals on campus as well as in the communities we serve.
2. Provide job specific diversity related training to university employees.
3. Develop strategies to promote equitable treatment of members of the campus community and to prevent unlawful discrimination.
4. Encourage engaged citizenship on the part of students, faculty and staff through community partnerships, service, social entrepreneurism, political action and activism.
5. Assist in the recruitment of a diverse student body, faculty and staff.
6. Facilitate the creation of a welcoming and inclusive campus climate to assist in the retention of a diverse student body, faculty and staff.

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
By Noel K. Gallagher firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
(Continued from page 1)
In this March 2012 file photo, U.S. Army recruiters Sgt. Stephen Wallace (left) and Sfc. Brandon Didier talk with students at the Portland Arts and Technology High School. Gov. Paul LePage's claim that military recruiters aren't allowed to wear their uniforms at Yarmouth High School is untrue, according to the principal of the school.
John Ewing
Rogers said he did not know where that happened, or when, and no one had asked Hannibal to provide those details. He said Hannibal got the report from one of the military recruiters who report to him.
Rogers said the Army National Guard would not provide additional information or allow interviews with Hannibal or individual recruiters, because they "don't want to get in a back-and-forth" with the schools.
Hannibal told the Portland Press Herald in June that he could not remember details of the email.
Rogers and others have said they are reluctant to identify schools or provide specifics because recruiters don't want to jeopardize their relationships with school officials.
LePage has raised the issue repeatedly in the last week, calling the defeat of L.D. 1503 "one of the most appalling moves of the session" and suggesting it was a political act aimed at his administration.
Last week, LePage mailed handwritten notes to the homes of all of the Democrats who opposed the bill, including Rep. Charles Priest, D-Brunswick, who was awarded the Bronze Star Medal during the Vietnam War.
LePage has said he plans to reintroduce the bill when the Legislature reconvenes in January.
Public schools are prohibited from barring military recruiters because of a provision in the federal No Child Left Behind Act. Schools risk losing federal funding for refusing to release students' contact information to military recruiters or prohibiting recruiters from visiting.
Rogers said Monday that Hannibal, the National Guard officer, wrote his email in response to a request from Bowen.
Bowen said someone who visited the military processing station on Congress Street in Portland heard anecdotes about recruiters having access problems at high schools, and he wanted to know if that was true, Rogers said.
"The sergeant major talked to some of his folks, five or so ... (and) there have been instances over the year where there have been restrictions of access," Rogers said.
Hannibal said in his email to Bowen that the seven high schools in southern Maine that allowed "minimal access" were Oak Hill in Wales, Noble in North Berwick, Wells, York, Kennebunk, Gorham and Yarmouth.
He said recruiters usually visit a school twice a year.
Hannibal wrote that Yarmouth and Portland high schools allow parents to remove their students' names from a master list of junior and senior students before the list is distributed to recruiters.
He also wrote that "individual high schools" won't let recruiters wear uniforms -- but he didn't name any schools.
Jonathan Poole, a Yarmouth High graduate who recently got his commission from the Naval Academy, said he has been welcomed at Yarmouth and other Maine schools during visits for potential recruits. Yarmouth High was particularly supportive, he said.
Rogers said recruiters have been told that they need to immediately report any access problems to commanding officers and to the school.

2013 #CAAChamps Softball Preview
The 2013 CAA Softball Championship will begin Wednesday at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., with four teams battling for the conference title and an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. The championship will run through Friday, May 10.
The double-elimination tournament gets underway as top-seeded Hofstra (40-11, 18-2 CAA) faces fourth-seeded Towson (29-26-1, 11-10 CAA) at 2 p.m., followed by second-seeded James Madison (39-13, 18-3 CAA) meeting third-seeded Delaware (35-20, 12-9 CAA) at 5 p.m. The opening-round winners will meet at Noon on Thursday for a spot in the championship game, followed by an elimination game between the two first-round losers at 2:30 p.m. At 5 p.m. on Thursday, the winner of the elimination game will face the loser from the winner's bracket contest. The conference championship is set for Noon on Friday, with a second game to follow if necessary.
Hofstra has won nine of the 11 previous CAA softball titles and will be looking capture number 10 as the host and top seed of this year's tournament. The Pride bring an impressive 20-2 home record to the tournament. Hofstra is led by senior pitcher Olivia Galati, who is 34-10 with a nation's best 352 strikeouts and 29 walks. Along with strikeouts, Galati also leads the nation in shutouts with 18 this season and is second with 34 victories on the year, falling just one behind Hawaii's Kaia Parnaby (35). She enters the tournament with a league-second-best ERA of 1.46 in 287 innings of work, and tossed all 20 complete games for the Pride in conference play to earn an 18-2 record in the circle. At the plate, Hofstra is led by freshman first baseman Caryn Bailey's .386 batting average and 59 hits. Senior catcher Erin Trippi leads the team with 44 RBI and senior outfielder Tessa Ziemba is the team's biggest power threat with 12 home runs.
James Madison makes its second straight appearance at the tournament as the second-seed and its first appearance under the direction of new head coach Mickey Dean. The Dukes earned the CAA title in 2009 and look to add a second title to their resume. JMU is led by sophomore Sarah Mooney, who leads the league at the plate batting .414 to go along with a conference best 63 RBI and a team best 65 hits, 15 homers and a .758 slugging percentage. The Dukes also rely on freshman Jailyn Ford as she has split time in the circle and at first base. The rookie posted a 21-4 record as a pitcher for the Dukes in 157 innings of work and struck out 189 batters. At the plate, Ford is second on the team with a .392 batting average, 43 RBI and 13 home runs. Jasmine Butler (.358), Caitlin Sandy (.347), Erica Field (.339) and Morgan Heath (.308) are also strong contributors for the Dukes at the plate this season.
Delaware is making its third straight appearance at the CAA Championship. The Blue Hens are led by sophomore rightfielder Jessica Grisler, who is batting .374 this season with team highs of 68 hits and 39 runs scored. Junior Michelle McKinnon, who returned to the lineup just this past weekend following a foot injury, is hitting .325 on the year, while freshman shortstop Lisa Stacevicz and senior third baseman Lara Andrews are tied for the team lead with 28 RBI. Senior righthander Chenxi Jiao paces the Delaware pitching staff with a 13-7 record and a 2.21 ERA after 136.0 innings of work.
Towson returns to the tournament field after missing the cut in 2012. The Tigers are making their ninth appearance in the CAA Championship under the direction of Lisa Costello. Towson is led offensively by junior third baseman Delanie Dunham as she enters the postseason with a team-best .327 batting average. The junior also leads the team with 41 RBI, 55 hits, 34 runs scored, and ties the team high with six home runs on the year. Dunham is third in the league stealing 19 of 20 bases for the Tigers this spring. The Tigers held a 12-game win streak before seeing it snapped by top-seeded Hofstra to close out the regular season. The Tigers are led by Katie Lingmai in the circle as she recorded a 17-14 overall record in 201.2 innings pitched. The senior tallied a 2.95 ERA, while fanning 192 batters during the regular season.
All games throughout the championship will be video-streamed live on CAA.TV for FREE. The streams will also be simulcast on a combination of CSNWashington.com, CSNBaltimore.com and CSNPhilly.com. Live stats will also be available on CAASports.com on CAA Softball Championship Central.
