Douglas County health officials have confirmed the first case of West Nile virus in the county this year.
The man, who has been hospitalized, is older than 75, officials said. He traveled within Nebraska to an area where mosquito pools have tested positive for the virus. Officials think he may have been exposed on that trip.
So far this year, no mosquitoes in Douglas County have tested positive for the West Nile virus, officials said Monday.
The man is one of four Nebraskans who have tested positive for West Nile in 2013, state records show.
In 2012, 193 Nebraskans tested positive for the virus. Seventy-eight of those were hospitalized and four died.
In Iowa, two West Nile cases have been confirmed this year. Last year, Iowa reported 31 cases but no deaths.
The West Nile virus infects people who are bitten by mosquitoes that have been feeding on an infected bird.
Adi Pour, Douglas County's health director, said this is about the time of year that the county gets its first West Nile case. She encouraged people to protect themselves from mosquito bites.
To help avoid bites, officials suggest you:
• Apply a mosquito repellent containing DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Be sure to follow label instructions.
• Minimize your activities outdoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
• Wear loose, long-sleeved shirts, plus pants, shoes and socks when you are outdoors.
• Remove standing water around your home or report it to the Douglas County Health Department. That includes water in buckets, pet dishes and bird baths.
Most people who are infected have no symptoms or only mild flu-like symptoms, health officials said. Fewer than one of 150 people who are bitten by an infected mosquito and become ill will have a serious illness. People older than 50 and others with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable and more likely to suffer serious consequences.

Based on recommendations from the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, all four are Adventist Midwest Health hospitals, including Adventist Hinsdale Hospital and Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital, are restricting visitors due to concerns about spreading the flu.
"We are putting these changes into effect during this increase in influenza cases in order to keep our staff, patients and community safe," regional vice president and chief nursing officer Shawn Tyrrell said.
Effective immediately, the hospitals of Adventist Midwest Health have put the following guidelines in place:
- Everyone under the age of 18 will be restricted from visiting patients in the hospitals.
- Anyone with active or recent respiratory symptoms of influenza will be restricted from visiting patients.
- Visitors will be limited to two per patient at any one time.
"We appreciate the understanding of our patients and their families while we implement this change," Tyrrell said. "Once this increase in influenza has passed, we will reinstitute our family centered visiting policies."
For more information on the flu, visit the DuPage County Health Department's Web site the Cook County Department of Public Health's Web site, or the Will County Health Department's Web site.

P.J. Tucker: It wasn't a story but a journey back to the NBA
Since he was handed his walking papers, the 6-foot-6, 224-pound forward saw tremendous success playing overseas as he was the league MVP in Israel, the scoring coring champ in the Ukraine and the Finals MVP in Germany. He also suited up for teams in Italy, Puerto Rico and Greece.
But now, after accepting a contact for half of the salary he would have made overseas to join the Phoenix Suns, the forward from Texas has finally made it back the NBA. But to Tucker, it wasn't about just getting back, it was about making an impact.
"I wouldn't say it was a storyboard but a journey," Tucker told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo on his playing time overseas. "Once I got comfortable [in Europe] and became a pretty big player in Europe I wasn't expecting to come back [to the NBA]. I wasn't really looking to come back. Everyone wanted me at camp and stuff but for me is was just about being comfortable with coming back to a team that I was actually going to contribute and be able to work and show what I could do."
When asked what is was like the moment he found out he made the team, thus punching his ticket back to the NBA, Tucker said although he had a feeling he was going to make the Suns roster it was still surreal for him and his family once it was made official.
"It definitely felt good to actually be back," said Tucker. "I think my family was a little happier than I was for me to be back and knowing everything I've been through to get back was definitely a good feeling."
When asked what it was like to go from being the superstar in Europe to a role player in the NBA, Tucker said he knew entering training camp what the Suns expected of him and he was more than happy to deliver.
"In Europe I'm more of the go-to-guy, the scorer. On the Suns I'm more of an energy guy, defensive player, finishing plays," said Tucker. "So it's just what you're comfortable with and for me if I was going to come back it would to a situation where I could contribute and work my way into a position where I could play."
Tucker was initially used for defensive support but has since shown he is capable of stepping up on offense when needed. He is averaging nearly 12 points a game when he is given at least 20 minutes of play.
"I've never been surprised about my abilities or what I can do," said Tucker. "I know for people to come out of nowhere but for the players that have known me for years, they always felt I could do this."

Note: This is the first part of a two-part series. The second part will appear in the February 2005 issue of Diabetes Health.
In 1942, a scientist studying a sulfa drug (antibiotic) for typhoid fever found that the drug caused an unexpected side effect in malnourished patients—hypoglycemia. Studies of these (sulfonylureas) compounds ultimately led to the first oral medication for diabetes, tolbutamide (marketed as Orinase).
Orinase, like all sulfonylureas, works by stimulating the beta cells of the pancreas to make additional insulin. This type of drug can be used only in type 2 diabetes since it requires functioning pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin to work. Orinase and the other so-called "first generation" sulfonylurea drugs (Diabenese, Dymelor and Tolinase), although still available, are generally no longer used in the United States.
Today, almost all patients who need a sulfonylurea are prescribed one of three so-called second-generation sulfonylurea drugs:
Sulfonylureas are taken once or twice a day and may remain effective for 24 hours or longer. They can be given with other drugs for diabetes. They are also present in two newer oral agent combination drugs, Glucovance (glyburide plus metformin) and Metaglip (glipizide plus metformin). Glyburide lasts longer and has been associated with more hypoglycemia than the other two.
In my own practice, I avoid glyburide, especially in the elderly, who are more prone to hypoglycemia.
Another potential problem with this group of drugs is allergies. Patients who are allergic to the sulfa antibiotics may also be allergic to these drugs. They may develop a mild (or possibly a serious) skin rash, requiring them to stop taking the drug. Another side effect of these drugs is weight gain. Eating less, exercising more and cutting back the dose of the drug can minimize weight gain.
Side Effects
The main side effect with all medications of this class is hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), usually occurring three or more hours after the last meal.
Hypoglycemia is most likely to occur during and after physical activity or when patients

Collaborative learning becomes an extraordinarily natural experience with the SMART Board® 800 series interactive whiteboard – now with four-touch interactivity. Up to four students can collaborate and interact with lesson content anywhere on the interactive surface. This interactive whiteboard also features a multiuser Pen Tray with buttons that make it easy for users to switch ink color, access the On-Screen Keyboard and right-click.
Now up to four students can collaborate without boundaries using four-touch interactivity. Students can use their fingers or a pen to write, draw and interact with content on the surface of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, or two students working together can each use natural multitouch gestures. This means they can spend more time collaborating and less time waiting for their turn to work on the interactive surface. And there are no special tools or menus required – students can simply walk up to the SMART Board interactive whiteboard and immediately begin working together.
Watch the multitouch video.
With freestyle interaction, four students can work together anywhere on the surface without being restricted to a defined space or required to use a specific tool. And each can perform different actions at the same time – for example, two students can move objects around while another writes in digital ink.
Watch the freestyle interaction video.
Using multitouch gestures, groups of students can interact with lesson content in new and exciting ways, which gives them a deeper, more interactive learning experience. They can use intuitive gestures such as toss, rotate and zoom, or use the gestures available with multitouch operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows 7 or Mac Snow Leopard.
Watch the touch gestures video.
The object awareness feature makes using the 800 series a completely intuitive experience – the technology is virtually invisible. You can switch seamlessly between writing with a pen, erasing with the palm of your hand and moving objects with your fingers. There's no need to press buttons, access on-screen menus or replace tools in the Pen Tray.
Watch the object awareness video.
Teachers can access free, ready-to-use educational resources, including thousands of standards-correlated SMART Notebook lesson activities, anytime on the SMART Exchange website. They can also access multimedia content, including videos and 3D images, in the gallery of SMART Notebook collaborative learning software.
Up to four students can simultaneously write, perform mouse functions, erase, and manipulate and move objects on the interactive whiteboard surface – no special tools are required.
Up to four students can instantly start working together without having to switch into a separate multiuser mode or work in confined areas. And they can individually complete actions, like writing in digital ink or moving objects with their fingers.
Two students working together can each use their palm for erasing and one or two fingers to perform gestures on objects, such as toss, zoom or rotate, and to interact within SMART Notebook software. The 800 series has built-in support for multitouch operating systems, like Microsoft Windows 7 and Mac Snow Leopard.
Pick up one of the pens or the eraser and the Pen Tray automatically detects which tool you've selected. Buttons on the Pen Tray select the color and activate the On-Screen Keyboard, right-click and help functions.
Hold down a pen color button on the Pen Tray until the light flashes, and the lockable pen option will lock the interactive whiteboard into pen mode, so you can use any device and it will act as a pen. Early education students and students with special needs can use objects, such as tennis balls, to write on the surface.
Discover a responsive and accurate writing experience with SMART Ink. It smoothes out the appearance of the digital ink, which improves the legibility of your handwriting as you write over applications, websites and videos. The ink becomes an object that you can move and manipulate.
The 800 series has a low-gloss surface that is optimized for projection. The surface is compatible with dry-erase markers and is easily cleaned.
Enjoy more room to work. The wide-format 885 model gives you 20% more workspace than a standard interactive whiteboard – ideal for classrooms that use widescreen laptops and monitors.
When you have two students at the SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard, collaboration multiplies. Find out how.
Discover new ways to explore content. You can zoom, flick and toss on the SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard.
Touch. Write. Erase. Whatever you do on the SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard, the experience is highly intuitive.
Thanks to the freestyle interaction feature of the SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard, two people can work anywhere on the surface simultaneously – so collaboration is easy.
Meet the new interactive whiteboard that puts the world at your fingertips. Discover how to toss, flick and grow your way through lessons.

The Board of Examiners on Tuesday approved plans to ask for $3.93 million from the state's contingency fund to cover costs of fighting wildland fires this year.
State Forester Pete Anderson told the board chaired by Gov. Brian Sandoval the fire season never ended this past year.
"As everyone knows, we've had a very active wild fire season through the winter," he said.
Anderson said there were 55 large fires that burned 666,000 acres of land, 81,000 of them non-federal land. Many of them, Anderson said, were sparked by lightning in August and the largest in the northeast portion of …

At first glance, Starmie might appear to be a top-tier threat in VGC 2012 with its high base Speed and large movepool. However, even with a Life Orb or another power-boosting item, its base 100 Special Attack is simply not enough for it to beat the opponent's Pokemon before they can KO Starmie. A Focus Sash somewhat remedies this issue, though, and with the right team support, Starmie can cause huge problems to any team.
This set utilizes Starmie's high Speed, decent Special Attack, and great offensive movepool to deal as much damage as possible before it goes down. Hydro Pump is the most powerful Water-type attack that Starmie can use, and it provides Starmie with great coverage in VGC 2012. Ice Beam and Thunderbolt provide BoltBeam coverage, which is particularly effective against the Grass- and Water-types that resist Hydro Pump. Protect has many uses in doubles, as it can be used to stall out an extra turn of Tailwind or Trick Room, and also keep Focus Sash intact. Focus Sash is strongly recommend on Starmie, as it allows Starmie to almost always use at least two attacks.
Thunder is generally the best option for Starmie if it is being used on a rain team, as it needs all of the power that it can get. However, it should only be considered when paired with a Pokemon that has Rain Dance or a Drizzle Politoed. Blizzard can be useful as hail is reasonably common in VGC 2012, thanks to Abomasnow's Snow Warning, and it hits both opponents for around the same amount as Ice Beam; note though that it is somewhat unreliable outside of hail. Psyshock can be very useful for beating Fighting-types, such as Toxicroak, Virizion, and Hitmontop, and also to hit Blissey, Snorlax, and Ludicolo harder, but Protect will be more effective in most battles.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Scald is an alternative to Hydro Pump if you would rather not run the risk of it missing, but the power drop is noticeable. Surf is another alternative to Hydro Pump, but it hits Starmie's teammate and is actually weaker than Scald in double battles. Psychic is an alternative to Psyshock, but it does not get any KOs that Psyshock wouldn't; Psyshock is also generally better because it can greatly damage Pokemon such as Blissey and Snorlax. Hidden Power Fire can be used to damage Abomasnow, Ferrothorn, and Shedinja, but it cannot OHKO variants of Ferrothorn and Abomasnow that invest in HP. If you do decide to use Hidden Power Fire, an alternative EV spread of 248 SpA / 12 SpD / 248 Spe should be used. Hidden Power Grass could be used to inflict more damage against Pokemon such as Rotom-W and Gastrodon, but Starmie fails to OHKO either of them. If you do decide to use Hidden Power Grass, an alternative EV spread of 4 HP / 248 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe should be used.
Starmie can play a more supportive role with moves such as Icy Wind and Thunder Wave, but Pokemon such as Cresselia usually do this job much more effectively as Starmie is relatively frail. Recover is an option to avoid Sucker Punch and restore HP, but it is rarely useful in VGC 2012. If you want some extra power, Starmie can hold a Life Orb or Water Gem, but it appreciates being able to take a hit with its Focus Sash. Other Gems can also be used, but they will often not be as effective. A Colbur Berry enables Starmie to beat Weavile, take a Sucker Punch, and survive for a turn against Tyranitar, but Focus Sash is usually the better option, as it allows Starmie to survive an attack of any type. Finally, Analytic is an alternative to Natural Cure, but with such a high Speed stat, Starmie will almost always be attacking first.
Checks and Counters
The likes of Weavile, Speed Boost Yanmega, Jolteon, and Choice Scarf users such as Rotom and Chandelure can outspeed and KO Starmie, but they have to watch out for Focus Sash variants. Sucker Punch users such as Toxicroak and Hitmontop can damage Starmie before it is able to attack, but they have to watch out for Psyshock. Tyranitar can take a Hydro Pump in the sand, knock Starmie to its sash with Crunch, and let sandstorm finish the job. Starmie has difficulty OHKOing many Pokemon, including Zapdos, so if they are not finished off by Starmie's partner, they can pose a threat to it. Gastrodon and Cresselia can take all of Starmie's attacks with ease, but cannot damage Starmie much in return. Ferrothorn, Abomasnow, and Ludicolo are probably the best counters to Starmie, as they take little damage from Starmie's attacks and can hit it hard with the appropriate Grass-type attack. In addition, Starmie has problems against Trick Room teams in general due to its frailty.

Santa Train makes its 70th run Saturday
The Santa Train, sponsored by CSX, the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce, Food City and Dignity U Wear, will make its 70th annual run Saturday, Nov. 17, with Santa Claus in his usual anchor position and Thompson Square, recently named the CMA Vocal Duo of the Year, returning for their second year as celebrity guests.
Over its 70-year history, the Santa Train has become an Appalachian tradition, delivering presents to children and families along a 110-mile route with stops in Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. Thompson Square, Santa Claus and dozens of volunteers will distribute gifts to families from the surrounding areas at each of the train's 14 stops.
In addition to participating in the Santa Train's mission, and distributing gifts to families along its route, the award-winning husband-and-wife duo Thompson Square will perform several songs for everyone gathered at the train's final stop in Kingsport, Tenn.
"Seeing the generations of families along the Santa Train's route last year was an experience Keifer and I will never forget," said Shawna Thompson of Thompson Square. "The Santa Train is a family tradition for generations of people in Appalachia, and we are honored to share the experience again this year."
Since first riding the Santa Train in 2011, Thompson Square has continued its ascent as one of the most popular new duos in country music. The group won the CMA Award for Vocal Duo of the Year on Nov. 1, joining previous winners such as Brooks & Dunn and Sugarland.
The Santa Train will depart Shelby, Ky., at 6:30 a.m., on Nov. 17 and make 12 stops before its scheduled arrival in Kingsport at 3:08 p.m.

How could we have let the momentous date of January 18 pass without mention? You see, dear readers, on that day in 2006 this blog came kicking and screaming into the world with a post on Postcolonial Theory. Spawned from the leisure of a sabbatical that followed closely on the heels of a year of leave funded by an ACLS fellowship -- spawned, that is, when I was free for a while from thinking about work that had to be done and could contemplate new kinds of academic endeavor that might be undertaken -- this blog was an experiment that took on life and became its own being. We now have four die-hard co-bloggers and occasional guest posts. We have features galore and essays profound and humorous. We have a vivacious solidarity that I never could have predicted two years ago.
Two years and 712 posts later, In The Middle also enjoys about 300 daily visits and 470 page views. Perhaps this list of our last twenty visitors says it all about how international this readership is: Bronx, New York; Dublin; Riyadh; Noblesville, Indiana; Quincy, Massachusetts; South Africa: Tembisa, Gauteng; Kitchener, Ontario; Warsaw; Brazil: Sao Paulo; Manila; Atlantic City, New Jersey; London; Finland: Rovaniemi, Lapland; College Station, Texas; Lake Mary, Florida; Charleston, South Carolina; Philippines: Benguet; Australia: Melbourne, Victoria; Weehawken, New Jersey; Grantham, Lincolnshire.
Our proudest moment was our recent Cliopatria award for Best Group Blog. We've also been heartened by the sheer number of other blogs and information sites that have linked to us. Over the longer durée, though, we have been especially pleased with the community we've been able to form here -- a community that could not exist without you. Thank you.
So, happy birthday In the Middle. Welcome to your terrible twos.

Van Wijk Earns HL Player of the Week Accolade
Monday, November 21, 2011
Valparaiso junior forward Kevin Van Wijk (Hoofddorp, Netherlands/Katholieke Scholengemeenschap Hoofddorp) has been named the Horizon League Player of the Week after averaging 20.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game over his three games last week, the league office announced Monday.
Van Wijk opened the week with an impressive effort against Holy Cross [Ind.], posting a double-double with 18 points on 8-of-9 shooting and 10 rebounds in just 14 minutes of action. The junior then registered his second consecutive double-double in the come-from-behind win over Akron, tallying 21 points and 10 rebounds, going 7-of-10 from the floor against the Zips.
Van Wijk sat out Saturday's win over IU Kokomo before returning to the floor on Sunday with another strong performance in the victory over Duquesne. Van Wijk came up just one rebound shy of his third straight double-double, finishing the game with a career-high 22 points and nine rebounds. He averaged 21.5 ppg and 9.5 rpg in the two games he played he played that were part of the Valparaiso Subregional of the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer, earning All-Tournament Honors for his work.
Van Wijk and the rest of the Crusaders return to the court on Friday evening as Valpo faces off against #3/3 Ohio State, live on the Big Ten Network at 5:30 p.m.

Dwight Yoakam's relentless search for truth has firmly connected him with a large, loyal following. A long-time Los Angeleno, Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide. He has 12 Gold albums and nine Platinum or multi-Platinum albums. Five of those albums have topped Billboard's Country Albums chart with another 14 landing in the Top 10. More than 30 singles have charted, with 22 going Top 20, including the hits "Honky Tonk Man," "Please Please Baby," "Little Ways," "I Sang Dixie," "It Only Hurts When I Cry," "Fast as You" and "Thousand Miles from Nowhere." Yoakam's latest Warner Bros. album, 3 Pears, incorporates competing influences into a piece of cohesive art. It balances his country core with an embrace of rock, Americana, pop and soul. It blends Yoakam's respect for his musical predecessors with the collaborative assistance of modern singer/songwriter Beck and current rocker Kid Rock. But most importantly, 3 Pears builds on his trademark edginess with a notable, growing positivity.
Genre: Country/Americana

The Olympic Opportunity Fund (OOF) for Disabled Veterans and Members of the Armed Forces provides grant funding to organizations to increase and expand the number and quality of opportunities disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces have to participate in physical activity within their home communities, as well as more advanced Paralympic sport programs at the regional and national levels.
The USOC will award grant funding ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 (up to $1.6 million total). Funding for this opportunity is from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of National Veterans Sports Programs and Special Events.
Those eligible to apply for a grant through the OOF include Paralympic Sport Clubs, colleges / universities, Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) and community-based organizations. In addition, these organizations must also:
Serve disabled Veterans or disabled members of the Armed Forces or both.
Provide regular, frequent activity over an extended period of time (weeks or months) - one-time events will not be funded unless the event serves as a launching or focal point for ongoing Paralympic or non-Paralympic sport programming.
Be designed for long-term sustainability without continued OOF support.
Have specific objectives and measurable outcomes for participation, community involvement, publicity, skill progress and / or other factors.
Additional consideration is given to programs that:
Engage local VA staff and resources.
Engage local Department of Defense (DoD) staff and resources.
Provide the program offering(s) in an appropriate, community-integrated structure.
Have a focused geographical catchment area to facilitate regular and frequent return participation
Involve Paralympic sports.
Are active Paralympic Sport Clubs.
Have a demonstrated history of recruiting and serving significant numbers of disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces.
Have secured matching funds or other tangible community support.
As specified in the legislation that established the fund, federal agencies are not eligible to receive grant funding from the program. However, federal agencies are encouraged to collaborate with community organizations or VSOs to jointly create community-based programs that serve disabled Veterans.

|Parent Center
FAQsWill my baby's bed space change during his/her stay?
The NICU consists of two levels of care. Your baby's initial stay may be in the Level IIIB nursery located on the second floor. This is a specialized area for ill newborns, premature newborns and babies requiring special critical care. The capacity is approximately 30 beds. As your baby becomes stable and does not require intensive care we will transfer him/her to the Level II care nursery called the Intermediate Care Nursery, or ICN, on the third floor. While in the NICU or ICN, your baby's bed space may change to meet the needs of the unit. We make every effort to contact you to let you know that we have moved your baby. However, if you come into the unit and your baby has been moved, please do not panic. If there was an emergency with your baby, we would have contacted you.
When can I hold my Baby?
Your baby can be held when he/she is stable. Every baby is different; it may take as little as a few hours or as long as several days or weeks. The doctors and nurses will discuss this with you in regard to your baby. Sometimes you have been holding your baby consistently and then he/she may take a few steps back. During these times it is important to allow your baby time to rest and get better.
Kangaroo (Skin-to-Skin) Care is a wonderful way to hold your baby. This can be done with most babies that are stable. For the benefit of your baby, a two- to three-hour commitment is required. Since your baby will be held skin-to-skin, it is helpful to wear a shirt that buttons down the front. Both moms and dads can participate in kangaroo care. There are many benefits to kangaroo care. Please speak to your nurse for details.
When will my baby go home?
Most babies are discharged sometime around their due date. The requirements for going home are taking full feedings by breast or bottle and gaining weight. They must be able to maintain their own temperature and not have any apnea or bradycardia episodes, requiring intervention, for five days. As you get closer to going home there will be a discharge teaching check off list that will need to be completed.
Why is my baby being transferred to another hospital?
There are circumstances when a baby needs to be transferred to another hospital. These could be for medical or insurance reasons. If this applies to your baby it will be discussed prior to the transfer.
When will my baby eat?
Since the age and size of each baby is different, feeding will be started at different times. Most babies will start with very small feedings (trophic feedings). This usually begins within the first several days of life, depending upon your baby's health status. These feedings will be slowly increased as tolerated by your baby. The ability to coordinate suck, swallow, and breathing usually starts about 34 weeks gestation. At this time babies may be able to start breast or bottle-feeding.
Remember that eating requires extra energy from your baby. Sometimes it can be a slow process that requires patience and time.
Breastfeeding Support: We support breastfeeding and want to make sure you have information to help you get started. There is a lactation nurse who will be following you during your baby's stay. Helpful information and reminders about breastfeeding are:
- We recommended that you begin breast pumping immediately after births to make sure you have a good milk supply once it's time to breastfeed your baby.
- Pump seven to eight times a day for 10 minutes on each breast (that's about every two to three hours)
- Electric pumps are best for milk supply and they can be rented through the Mom/Baby Boutique on 3R
- Your baby's nurse will provide you storage cups and labels to put your milk in
The lactation nurse will meet with you in the first few days after the birth of your baby. If you would like to see her earlier, tell your baby's nurse and he/she will contact the lactation nurse. Also, every Wednesday from 2 to 3pm we have the Mom's Lactation Support Group in the Intermediate Care Nursery education room.

After losing a bid for Tennessee's 10th District state Senate seat to Republican Todd Gardenhire, District 8 City Council member Andraé McGary recanted on a decision to retire from the council. The Free Press is glad he decided to throw his hat back in the ring and endorses his re-election to city council.
McGary isn't the most fiscally conservative member of the City Council, but he certainly has proven that he respects tax dollars. He looks for places to save money, he has voted against a property tax increase and, most importantly, he is a leader in reforming the Chattanooga budget.
His plan for implementing a zero-based budgeting system would force city leaders to come up with goals first and then decide how much taxpayer money is necessary to meet those ambitions. McGary estimates that, if adopted, zero-based budging could cut cost by 20-30 percent, saving taxpayers millions.
The former WGOW talk radio host is also sensitive to the crime, homelessness and affordable housing issues that affect all of Chattanooga, but are particularly challenging in District 8, which encompasses a number of disadvantaged areas of the city -- including Avondale and Bushtown. Unlike other council members, however, McGary seems to understand that addressing those challenges isn't government's responsibility alone. He prefers to incorporate nonprofits, community organizations and religious groups when developing solutions to those problems. That philosophy both respects tax dollars and increases the likelihood of success.
McGary's opponent, Moses Freeman, is a longtime community activist and public advocate. He has an impressive history of service to Chattanooga's children and low-income population.
In his endorsement interview with the Free Press, though, we could almost hear the cha-ching of cash registers going off as Freeman listed off a litany of ways he hoped to spend Chattanoogans' tax dollars. Freeman believes the city should use public funds to entice people to buy houses in downtrodden areas and he wants the government to install video cameras to police the streets (and spy on unsuspecting residents).
Freeman sees no opportunities to reduce spending in the city's expansive $209 million budget, and admits that he would have no problems voting for tax increases.
Looks like you editorial folks have been told to keep your editorials focused on local regional topics. Some of that is fine, but a steady diet, week after week, seems...well...pretty weak.
Since early voting is already going on, how about posting a complete list of your endorsements now, even if you only offer details day by day?
Nucanuck - I don't know what's going on in Canada these days, but here in Chattanooga we have an important local election. I'm glad they are taking the time to interview and endorse candidates for this election rather than writing about national issues, which I can read about anywhere. And, the paper is called the CHATTANOOGA TFP not the National TFP.
AndrewLohr - if you just go to the Opinion homepage you can see the endorsements for every city council race (here's the link: http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/opinion/freepress/).
While you make a valid point about the local elections, my observation was meant to be far longer term than just this election cycle. Watch over time and see if you agree.
If the right supports McGary it's because they see him as someone they can use and manipulate, then pull out some dirty file and throw under the bus when he doesn't produce to their satisfaction.
Nonsense Lr103. Did you read the endorsement, my friend? Unlike the Times endorsement, the Free Press chose to weigh carefully what I ACTUALLY said. Figures, especially since Harry Austin didn't have the you-know-what to show up for my editorial interview. No wonder he commits to sloppy soundbites as a basis for his endorsement. Fortunately, the citizens of District 8 are better readers of character and my record than he is. They know who clearly is the best choice.
Candidates should shrive more to know all their constituents and their needs, wants and other issues . Unfortunately they do not, and end up catering to that small fraction that shows up at their meetings and only want to control. Many aren't even from the district or even the city. They've just formed a pack with one another to give an appearance of unity and numbers, because numbers and the appearance of unity impress.
McGary is not perfect..he will at least listen. The other guy is so far left he can kiss his own butt. If Harry Austin doesn't like you..you must be doing something right.
"The other guy is so far left he can kiss his own butt"
The above statement by timbo is why McGary should be conscious and leery of his supporters. As supporters and constituents are necessarily one and the same.
Today when anyone mentions their disdain for leftists they're usually using their code word for 1. I hate minorites (McGary IS a minority), immigrants, any and all programs and assistance that help the poor, frail, elderly and sick. They only change their strategy but not their goal because they were turning off too many, even some of their own orig. supporters.
They come from that prior crowd who openly professed their hate for the homeless, poor, old anyone living in public housing and who blocked everything the present mayor attempted to helpthem
- They're that same crowd who turned on the mayor because, in their own words, they wanted him to allow authority to "Round up all the poor and homeless then dump them across the stateline" and he refused.
Why is everyone picking on poor Dre Dre...we have to remember he has never held a job for any substantial length of time...He has to be able to afford all those kids he and the Mrs keep bringing into this world...I find it strange that McGary would run for state senate when that salary is less than what he makes now...how does he and his family actually survive in these times?...Unless he is receiving govt assistance (based on his family size and income he does qualify)then he must be beholden to someone can you say Crutchfield the corrupt...there is something very fishy about Dre Dre why did he pick our city to begin his political career?

The City of Fresno Water Conservation Program has been actively promoting activities that lower water demand in the community since about 1981. Water conservation is the beneficial reduction in water use, waste, and loss. Conservation is the most economical and environmentally protective resource management tool available, helping Fresno meet the many challenges of water supply management.
One of the most valuable water sources is water that is not used – because the more water we use, the more water we must treat and deliver. Power costs also increase as we pump more water; and more water used means higher water and sewer rates. Everyone's conservation efforts are crucial to limiting water and wastewater rate increases.
The City of Fresno Water Conservation Program actively promotes behavior that will lower water demand in the community. Over the past five years, this has resulted in a drop in average daily water usage from 329 gallons per person per day down to less than 250 gallons per person per day!

So far, so good
I just received my humidifier today. It's a little louder than I expected, but not more than any other humidifier that I have owned. Set up was simple. The instructions are clear, however, they do not indicate if the unit shuts off automatically if it runs out of water. To situate it on a level surface and away from a wall, I had to put it on a dresser that is shoulder height. Unfortunately, though I am 5'7", the control panel is impossible to read. Thankfully, I have a tall husband. I appreciate that the air comes from the front of the unit vs. the top, avoiding blowing in the direction of the walls. Once I assess it's overall performance and function, I may move it to a lower, smaller surface. So far, I am pleased with my purchase.
Honeywell QuietCare
1/22/2014 It is only 5 weeks old and we have had to go through the elaborate cleaning process ofter it stopped puting humitity into the air. After clearning, it worked for 2 more weeks and the filter seemed stiff so we replaced it with a new one. After restarting it is still not putting out humidity. We will call the help line tomorrow.
Having had other humidifers over the years, I find this HCM645 to be outstanding. The on/off feature allows the humidifer to add just the right humidity to keep the air at a proper level. The humidifer tank is easy to fill and I do not have any trouble handling it even though it is 4 gallons. I would recomment it to anyone who wants a easy way to add humidity to their home.

A hot shower is the perfect antidote to Tahoes wintry chill, and Angel Rock dreamily plays with himself under the spray. Roving hands pinch his nipples, slide over his flat stomach, squeeze his furry pecs and drop to his cock. The cock, emerges from a dark bush. Its thick as Angels wrist, with a translucent foreskin he slides back and forth. Sighing, Angel snaps back to reality and grabs a towel. Exiting the shower, he collides with Brandon Jones. Knowing an opportunity when it knocks, Brandon yanks the tented towel off and scoops Angel into his arms. He remains clothed as he kneels to suck. Angel feeds him that foreskin, circling his shaft with a thumb and finger and making the head of his cock disappear under the skin. Brandon goes cock wild, grabbing the fat salami to try it. In the bedroom we see the rest of Brandon long and lean, without an ounce of fat. His ass is the target of Angels tongue, which flicks and corkscrews until Brandon writhes in ecstasy. The hotness reaches a melting point when Brandon is face-down on the bed. Angel drills deep from above and Brandon thrusts back at twice the speed, using his long thighs as meaty springs. Their exertion is rewarded with cum geysers that leave them collapsed.

text: NCGA Urges Members To Consider Export Market in 2014 Planting Plans Growers should be aware of approval issues in export countries Published on: Jan 22, 2014 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Following shipping disruptions in China, the National Corn Growers Association on Wednesday asked association members to examine approved traits in export markets prior to making 2014 planting decisions. The group said that with current gaps in trait approvals abroad, farmers should make well-informed planting decisions to avoid potentially difficult situations should elevators again decide not to accept corn with these traits at harvest. In response, NCGA is offering Know Before You Grow, an online resource with information on the approval status of all major corn traits in export markets, to help farmers searching tools to aid them in their decision-making process. Hosted on NCGA's website, the group says it provides vital information in an easily accessible format.EXPORT ISSUES: NCGA says growers should be aware of approval issues in export countries Related: China Turns Away U.S. Grain Shipments on GMO Concerns According to an NCGA statement: "NCGA reminds growers that corn used in ethanol production also often enters export streams as distillers dried grains, a valuable feed ingredient gaining popularity in China and other export markets. While planting decisions involve a multitude of factors, it is import to factor in potential issues which could be faced marketing grain unapproved for markets supplied through elevators with which one does business. "Know Before You Grow stems from NCGA's firm commitment to the principle that U.S.-grown biotech hybrids not intended for some export markets should not be placed into export channels. Because not all hybrids are approved for all export market uses, corn growers who are selling into sensitive markets like wet millers should select hybrids with the full knowledge of whether they are conventional, fully approved for export to major markets or not yet fully approved for those markets. "Additionally, the Biotechnology Industry Organization hosts a comprehensive global approval status database found at www.biotradestatus.com. "Growers should read their grower agreements before planting and communicate with their grain buyers. This is why NCGA works with technology providers to publicize regular updates on the approval status of these events. Regardless of export status, there is an ample market for U.S. biotech corn," the statement said. Source: NCGA

Thanks so much for your help. My eyes are blurry from spending so much time on this computer and I finally decided to order this set up-one for each side. Can you tell me for sure if I can run the shower head and the handheld both at once or each on their own? It doesn't say anywhere.
Moen 270 Double Handle Vertical Spa
Moen 3371 3/4 Inch Rough In
Moen 3600 3/4 Inch Rough In
My total with the discount code is $1586-YIKES!
I tried to just order just one set for one side and then a valve with overhead shower but couldn't find a handle/trim that matched so I went for this. It's in my cart and I haven't purchased it yet so what do you think? Are these good for the money? Good deal? If I am to get them in time, I should order by today... Here is a link to the picture(sorry, don't know how to post one)http://www.bellacor.com/productdetail/187170.htm
I tried calling local supply places but they are charging around $700 just for the shower set without the valves.
I liked the idea of "M-PACT common valve system" if I understand it correctly, I can change out and replace the different shower heads, etc. without ever opening up the wall again. Is that what it means? Seems useful?
Thanks again for spending so much time helping me!!

This article provides a high-level overview of the steps to perform to migrate your applications to Rackspace Cloud from Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Based on your existing AWS instance size and configuration, select an equivalent size and scope for the Rackspace Cloud Servers instance to provision. Also, list the resources that you want to migrate, including application and database resources.
Depending on the size of your existing AWS instance and OS, select an equivalent instance type and follow the steps to provision a new instance on Rackspace Cloud Servers. You can find a list of equivalent instances in the equivalent instance types list.
Install the required applications on your newly provisioned Rackspace Cloud Servers instance.
After you back up your data on your AWS instance, use one of the following methods to transfer your data from AWS to your cloud server. You can do this a number of ways:
This is the recommended method for migrating your data to your cloud server. Using this method, you install Swift on your AWS instance and directly copy your data from AWS to Cloud Files, without downloading it locally.
You can use rsync to tunnel between your two instances and transfer your data. The other methods listed here, however, have you create backups in Cloud Files so that you can always return to them.
In certain cases (for example, if your cloud server is Windows based), you need to install a GUI tool (such as Cyberduck) to upload the data on Cloud Files. Several open source and free tools exist, and they are described in detail within each migration scenario in this document.
The Cloud Control Panel enables you to upload data from your local computer to the server instance. This method is useful for situations in which you do not want to install additional software for data transfer. However, we do not recommend downloading your data locally because it is not the most secure option.
After your data is uploaded to Cloud Files, download and restore the data on your cloud server.
Make any necessary configuration changes for your application and database.
With the that overview in mind, the first step to migrating your application the the Rackspace Cloud is provisioning your cloud services.

Mathematics is the fundamental tool of the social and natural sciences and technology and is employed in a wide range of academic and professional fields. Understanding and competency in elementary mathematics and quantitative skills are crucial components of a contemporary education. For these reasons, a fundamentals course in the mathematical sciences is part of SMU's General Education Curriculum.
Most incoming students do far better in mathematics when the concepts are still fresh in their minds from high school. Therefore, it is a good idea to take a mathematics course during your first semester and continue taking mathematics courses until you have fulfilled your mathematics fundamentals requirement or completed the mathematics courses needed for your major.
Math 1307. Introduction to Mathematical Sciences.Permutations and combinations, probability, Markov chains, linear programming, elementary statistics, and mathematics of finance.
Math 1309. Introduction to Calculus for Business and Social Science. Derivatives and integrals of algebraic, logarithmic, and exponential functions with applications to the time value of money, curve sketching, maximum-minimum problems, and computation of areas. Applications to business and economics. (Natural science and engineering students must take Math 1337).
Math 1337. Calculus with Analytic Geometry I. Differential and integral calculus for algebraic, trigonometric, and transcendental functions, with applications to curve sketching, velocity, maximum-minimum problems, and areas.
Stat 1301. Introduction to Statistics. Introduction to collecting observations and measurements, organizing data, variability, and fundamental concepts and principles of decision-making. Emphasis is placed on statistical reasoning and the uses and misuses of statistics.
If you were a strong mathematics student in high school, you should take Math 1337 Calculus I. This choice will keep all options open to you. This is especially true if you are considering majoring in the natural sciences, economics, business, or engineering or pursuing a pre-medical or pre-dental program of study.
Math 1337 is accepted by the Cox School of Business and is the preferred choice for Economics, as it will allow you to continue on with Math 1338 Calculus II should you decide to pursue the B.S. degree in Economics.
Following SMU matriculation, students must meet the mathematics fundamentals requirement and complete Math 1309 or 1337 through SMU coursework.
SMU grants credit for Math 1337 Calculus I for a score of 4 or better on the Calculus AB or Calculus BC Advanced Placement (AP) Exam. Students that receive a score of 3 on the Calculus BC exam and an AB subscore of 4 or better will also receive credit for Math 1337. Students that receive a score of 5 on the Calculus BC exam will be granted credit for both Math 1337 and 1338.
Credit exams for a variety of first and second year mathematics courses can be taken during your AARO session or during the week before classes begin. Additional information and sample exams are available for these Credit Exams.
If you are a transfer student, you may receive credit for college courses through the normal course approval process.
The mathematics department encourages all students that have taken a precalculus course to take the placement exam in order to assess whether they are ready to begin calculus. Students should prepare for the placement exam by working the Sample Placement Exam. If you do not take the placement exam or do not pass the exam, then you are required to take one of the precalculus courses. No credit is granted for passing the precalculus placement exam.
Students that have taken some calculus in high school are exempt from having to take the placement exam and can proceed to calculus. Students not planning to take calculus can enroll directly in Math 1307 or Stat 1301 without taking the placement exam.
The main difference between the two precalculus courses is that Math 1304 includes trigonometric functions as one of its topics. This topic is needed in Math 1337 Calculus I, but not in Math 1309 Business Calculus. Either of the precalculus courses provides excellent preparation for Business Calculus.
Math 1337 Calculus I requires a C- or better in Math 1304 and Math 1309 Business Calculus requires a C- or better in Math 1303 (or Math 1304). From a practical point of view, you should make every effort to achieve at least a B- in precalculus as only about half of the students that receive some kind of a C in precalculus successfully complete Calculus or Business Calculus with a C- or better. To do well in precalculus you should attend class, do all of the homework assignments, and get outside help from instructor, math help sessions, or learning center.
If you receive a D in precalculus and have not already taken the placement exam, it is possible to proceed to calculus by passing the placement exam. This approach is not recommended.
The main difference between the two courses is that Math 1309 has a greater emphasis on business applications while Math 1337 has a greater emphasis on natural science applications including the use of trigonometric functions. Math 1309 is considered a terminal course while most of the students taking Math 1337 will continue on to Math 1338 (Calculus II); thus, the instructor's expectations of the students are somewhat higher in Math 1337. Another difference is that Math 1309 is taught in a large lecture hall with many students and Math 1337 is taught in an average size classroom with 25 to 35 students.
Both Math 1309 and 1337 are accepted by the Cox School of Business. Natural Science and Engineering students must take Math 1337.
Students that do very well in Math 1309 can proceed to Math 1338, but they will have to learn a small amount of material on their own (particularly the material in calculus that relates to trigonometric functions). Consult the mathematics department or the course instructor for topics that you need to learn. Weaker mathematics students should take Math 1337 before taking Math 1338 though it is not possible to get credit for both Math 1309 and Math 1337.
