LINCOLN — From the piles of silver glitter lining the entrance, you knew Ke$ha was in the building.
Fans of the pop star who walked the halls of the Pershing Center were decked out in bright clothes and lots and lots of glitter — glitter in their hair, glitter on their clothes and even more glitter stuck to the walls and floor.
Tubes full of the shiny stuff were for sale at the merchandise booth for $10, but all the glitter sold out before the "Tik Tok" singer even took the stage.
Ke$ha, born Kesha Rose Sebert, greeted the thousands in attendance by proclaiming, "We are the crazy people," an ethos her fans take to heart.
"You guys show me only love and only support," she told her fans. "I appreciate that. I love every single one of you just as you are."
The crowd, which was predominantly female, included almost no one older than 25. Many wore neon clothes, torn leggings or tight jeans, and heavy eye makeup. Some looked just like Ke$ha and were stopped for pictures and compliments on their outfits.
Dressed in a glitter-encrusted leotard, Ke$ha began her set with three of her best songs — "Crazy Kids," "We R Who We R" and "Blow" — and the building-rattling bass, glow sticks and club-ready dance songs made the arena feel like a rave.
"C'Mon" was the most danceable song and, after a disco ball descended from the rafters, the audience turned into a field of waving arms and dancing bodies.
A few times, the scene onstage got just plain weird. During "Take It Off," her four male dancers dressed like women and stripped and performed lap dances. Probably the craziest scene was during "Your Love Is My Drug," which involved a giant inflatable hippo, a dancer in a unicorn mask, 20-foot tall inflatable legs and two of the dancers in women's lingerie and roller skates.
Bizarre? Yep. Crazy fun? Absolutely.
That and the glitter are what Ke$ha's fans have come to expect.
Some of Ke$ha's banter and songs, such as "Dirty Love," were full of innuendo and, at other times, she was pretty explicit, but that's also part of her goofy, sexy and bold image.
Most of her songs are about parties and guys. "Party at a Rich Dude's House" was a song about both.
Unfortunately, the concert was a little more about the spectacle than about the music. Ke$ha almost always was backed up by two or three extra singers, and she would drop the microphone from her lips in favor of dancing or rolling around on the floor. Who wants to pay to see a singer if she's not singing all (or at least most) of the words to her songs?
Some criticize her half-sung, half-spoken style of singing, but it works on her mega-popular "Tik Tok."
The set included a few unexpected moments. She performed the unreleased track "Machine Gun Love," and cameramen filmed the party for Ke$ha's reality show, "My Crazy Beautiful Life."
The end of the show included the bizarreness of "Your Love Is My Drug," dancers in mascot costumes (one a reproductive organ), and Ke$ha running around and rolling onstage.
For an encore, Ke$ha came back in a shiny gold, glittering costume and played drums with her dancers during another hit,"Die Young."
Her fans responded by dancing away what energy they had left.
Ke$ha was grateful for the screams, cheers and dance moves, and she thanked the crowd while giving a shout-out to all that glitter.
"You guys have been incredible tonight. I (expletive) love you," she said. "I hope you all find a piece of glitter somewhere ... and think of me."

Agriculture & Food
Most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. A family's plot of land has to provide for their nutritional and economic needs.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced.
Distributing food is necessary in times of crisis, and we always try to procure food from local suppliers to save money, ensure faster delivery and support of the local economy. Learn more about the success of this model in Niger (PDF) ▸
In addition to emergency responses, we quickly focus on long-term solutions that strengthen harvests and livestock for the long-term. Mercy Corps works with families to ensure quality inputs, smart land use, good crop yields and a fair price at local markets.

Fasting for the poor and hungry March 31, 2011
For the last four days, I've been helping fight hunger by changing my diet. I've chosen a diet similar to that of many of the people Mercy Corps works with around the world: basic staple foods like rice, beans, greens and a bit of fruit.

The road to Ainaro District from Dili —the capital city of Timor-Leste, one of the world's newest countries — has never been as bad as it is now, at least in my experience.
Somalia: A lot has changed February 16, 2011
It was a long journey full of rough terrains and sleepless nights while we were assessing the areas that have been hit by droughts in the Bari Region of Puntland, Somalia. Farmers and pastoralists lost most of their assets and suffered from lack of water.
Myanmar: Small animals bring big dreams February 11, 2011
Cyclone Nargis, which devastated large swaths of Myanmar (known also as Burma) in 2008, took everything from residents like 59-year-old Daw Hla Kyi — including her livestock.
Iraq: VIDEO: "Sadness has become my food and my clothes" February 1, 2011
Over the course of the week and a half I've been in northern Iraq so far, I've seen — and heard — a lot about Kurdish culture. It's extremely hospitable, thoughtful and fiercely passionate.
Iraq: Finding the story January 30, 2011
I work with Awatif in southern Iraq, but we had to travel across the country to get to know one another.
Zimbabwe: Urban gardens nourish families and communities January 17, 2011
Until last year, 81-year-old Lucia Mbanje and her family of six, all residents of impoverished Sakubva township in Mutare, could not afford a balanced diet due to the prohibitive cost of vegetables in Zimbabwe as a result of the economic crisis.
Haiti: Interviews in the camps, a year later January 11, 2011
A few days ago, I went out to the Mojapta displacement camp, where Mercy Corps is providing clean water and sanitation to families, to ask earthquake survivors about their experiences today — and of the last year. Gilberte Jean, 23
Indonesia: Bringing healthy street food to Tegal Alur December 27, 2010

The University will prepay registration fees for a conference. A Check Request must be processed to prepay a registration fee. Attach your personal check for any non-reimbursable fees (spouse, "night on the town"). Forward the registration form plus a copy to the Travel desk in the Office of the Controller for payment. Please allow 5 days for processing.
Registration fees are now accepted on the Procurement card, effective January 1, 2011. When registering an individual for an off-campus conference, you can now put that expense on the Procard. If the expense is greater than your credit limit, you will need to pay via check request or personal credit card. All University travel must be approved prior to payment of registration fees with the Procard. Please make sure you have a Travel Authorization in place prior to your trip.
Policies and procedures regarding the Procurement Card may be found by visiting the website:
Purchasing Card
For additional questions regarding this process, contact Donna Scarbrough, (812) 237-3519, firstname.lastname@example.com.
The traveler can prepay for his registration with a credit card or check but will not be able to claim reimbursement for it until after the travel has been completed.
The traveler should register early to reserve the sessions, workshops, and lodging of your choice. You may register for any meals pertinent to the trip (such as round table discussions, seminars, or speakers). Be sure not to claim subsistence on your Travel Reimbursement Request for the meals that are included.
If the form includes registration for a "night on the town", tour, or other such fun, sign up remembering that such events are considered entertainment, and thus, you pay for them yourself. If you are registering online via the web, be sure to print off the registration page before actually completing to be used for payment or subsistence.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the seminal case Gideon v. Wainwright, which ruled that state courts must provide counsel for parties that cannot afford them. It represented a major turning point in the practice of law and individual's rights in the United States. It is hard to believe that there existed a recent time when public defense was not considered a basic right in a civilized country founded on the ideal of justice for all.
In support of these efforts and in conjunction with the BBA's Statewide Task Force to Expand Civil Legal Aid in Massachusetts, the BBA held a half-day conference entitled Examining the Civil Right to Counsel on the 50thAnniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright. The event featured keynote speakerNew York Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman. Judge Lippman, who established The Task Force to Expand Access to Civil Legal Services in New York, the model for our own Statewide Task Force, also sat down with the members of the BBA's Statewide Task Force before the half-day conference. He has been a leader in successfully securing additional funding for civil legal aid in New York.

Fracking comes at a cost
This letter is in response to the letter entitled "Range cooperates with region" that was in The Almanac on Feb. 13.
While some are benefiting from the drilling, there are many others who are fighting for basic fundamental rights, like clean air and water. Some farmers are regretting their decision to sell their gas rights and others are leaving the area altogether.
I received a very concerning email last week from a farmer who operates an organic farm north of Pittsburgh. A portion of the email is as follows:
"Hello Friends —
The last 10 years have been an exciting journey for me. Serving you has given me the opportunity to learn more about food and health, support local agriculture, and, most importantly, become a farmer myself. But my time in Western PA is coming to an end. Fracking is coming to our farm and the rest of the region in a big way. In the next year or two, a well will be fracked uphill and upstream of our farm. In addition, within a few miles of us they will be building a new gas fired power plant, a cryogenic concentrator station and a very large gas pipeline. The air and water pollution generated by these activities is incompatible with an organic farm, and, most importantly for me, I am unwilling to expose my children to these risks. Sometime later this spring or summer, I will be moving to Oregon with my children to start a new farm in a fracking-free region."
I am saddened to see this farmer leave PA and I wonder if others will follow in the coming months and years.
I read an article recently in a national publication that I receive entitled, "Fractured Land, Fractured Lives." The farmer and family live in a community just north of Pittsburgh. Here are some excerpts from the article:
"I wanted to believe that this could be a good thing for land owners in these tough economic times, but the more I researched this process, the more I have become convinced that this process is not only polluting the air and water, but it is also destroying communities. Neighbor against neighbor, family against family, all in the name of the almighty dollar."
"Other farmers have dead or dying cows, goats, chickens and horses that are unknowingly drinking contaminated water or breathing toxic fumes."
"One dairy farmer has stopped drinking the milk from their own cows. Their water well is contaminated with chemicals associated with the fracking industry and they are now forced to purchase water, which is delivered each week and stored in a water buffalo outside their house. The gas company has denied any responsibility."
Mr. Cannon, is this cooperation with our region? With all due respect, please spare me and all the other wise folks who see beyond the propaganda and all of the public relations tactics. There is no doubt that you are "cooperating" in some ways with the communities but at what expense? The fact is that we are going to reap what we sow. The future for Pennsylvanians was much brighter before the rape and pillage of our land began a few years ago. You came into our state without prior consent and blindsided everyone. It is time to stand united and fight for our families and our farmers!

It is important to establish the employment status of a member of staff as many of the rights referred to in this toolkit apply only to employees. For example, only employees are entitled to:
In certain cases, it can be very difficult to establish who is and who is not an employee. An "employee" is defined in the Employment Rights Act 1996 as "an individual who has entered into or works under (or, where the employment has ceased, worked under) a contract of employment". Relevant characteristics which tend to suggest an employer-employee relationship include:
The definition of an employee for Statutory Maternity Pay, Statutory Adoption Pay and Statutory Paternity Pay purposes is wider and considers anyone who has tax and National Insurance contributions deducted from their earnings through PAYE to be an employee for SMP, SAP and SPP purposes. This means that most workers, apart from those who are genuinely self-employed and pay their own tax and National Insurance, can claim SMP, SAP or SPP providing they meet the usual qualifying conditions.
All workers are protected against sex discrimination and have the right to a health and safety risk assessment.
The Agency Worker's Directive, which the government is required to transpose into UK law by December 2011, will introduce further pregnancy and maternity rights for agency workers.
If you have any queries about a member of staff's entitlement, you should contact the ACAS on 0845 7 47 47 47 or visit the ACAS website.

If you're among the skeptics selling drug stocks due to weaker than expected earnings, Cramer thinks you don't get the pharma business.
"No matter how many times I say it, people don't seem to get it," insisted the Mad Money host.
"The pharmaceutical business is not about near-term earnings estimates or earnings just reported, it's all about pipeline, what's in the works. That which could be blockbuster."
And on Wednesday, Cramer was largely dismayed by the number of investors in the market who were selling Merck.
For the most part, sellers were focused on recent earnings in which Merck reported lower-than-expected first-quarter sales due to generic competition. In addition, the company cut its profit forecast for the full year.
"The quarter was widely panned," Cramer admitted. But those sellers probably didn't understand the pipeline. Had they, he doesn't believe they would have sold.
"Merck currently has at least 35 drugs in the pipe and many of these could be very profitable in the 'out years.'" Cramer explained. They range from from treatments for everything from Alzheimer's to asthma. (Click here to see the Merck pipeline.)
Cramer thinks as one or more of these drugs starts to show promise, the Street will begin to factor in the earnings potential – and the earnings potential could be huge. If and when that happens shares could take off.
In fact, Cramer thinks management at Merck is anticipating developments outlined above and they're currently trying to get ahead of the move.
"I believe that's why Merck's has committed to buying $15 billion of its stock now, because management knows that it has some huge drugs that will be terrific in the future," Cramer said.
In other words, they know, pipeline is what matters, he said.

Elsewhere in pharma, Cramer also has an eye on Regeneron in part because rival Allergan delayed a drug for macular degeneration. "This great news for Regeneron, which has the best current drug out there for macular degeneration and the competitive woes from a much more established company just vanished," he said.
Turning attention to Johnson & Johnson, Cramer said, "it also has a terrific pipeline and there's a chance it could split up. I think this stock is also worth betting on."
Disclosure: As of Monday April 29th, Jim Cramer owned Merck and Johnson & Johnson on behalf of his charitable trust.

Get the ultimate exam prep for your ACE Personal Trainer certification exam to boost your confidence at test time and help clients in the field later on. This online course reviews critical math skills and formulae used to determine body composition goals, target heart rate, energy expenditure, and food composition through nutrition label analysis. Master the math without a calculator!
*The ACE Personal Trainer Manual is a recommended resource for this course. You will learn:
User Comments: I didn't like that I missed questions due to rounding differences in how it was calculated. I didn't round until the final answer, so I was "wrong" in a couple of answers. In the real world we will use calculators, and automated formulas (or at least I will, thanks to excel). I don't like that we couldn't take the test without the book beside us or at least the review slide show open to figure out what formula we would use. But that is a minor point. I hope the actual test will provide the formulas and won't expect us to memorize them. There are way to many to remember.
User Comments: This was a great basic math review, particularly for those who are not strong in math. The course took you through step by step on how to figure out the formulas needed for fitness. There were some excellent examples given that showed you what you might actually deal with in real life.
User Comments: The fitness math help undestand the formula.
User Comments: Very informative!
User Comments: This really helped me understand the equations involved with fitness. The problems were well explained, laid out, and demonstrated!
User Comments: Great way to learn necessary fitness formulas and math.
User Comments: It was very hard to understand.
User Comments: This is extremely useful, as I am not a fan of math. I will keep it as a reference.
User Comments: Definitely helps with acquiring knowledge of obtaining measurements
User Comments: Very helpful for my exam prep! Thanks ACE!
User Comments: The test was challenging and showed me where I need to review. But this course was very helpful. I'm glad I took it because I would have been deficient in this area without it.
User Comments: This was really helpful.
User Comments: Basic math skills but a great formula refresher
User Comments: the repetitive formulas were helpful in simply memorizing certain constant formulas. The questions were easy enough to figure out, but at the same time required some thought to remember how each problem is solved. Great practice!
User Comments: i really liked that everything was so well explained, it made it very easy for me to understand.
User Comments: The info was good...the course price was expensive for what you get...76 "Power Point" slides & and an online quiz. Also, be sure you know how many decimal points ACE goes out for each measure (e.g. kg, meters, LW, etc.) if you want to avoid missing answers unnecessarily.
User Comments: Having the chance to just break down each formula was wonderful and helped it all make so much more sense and gave great practice!!!
User Comments: Great course if you have trouble with math.
User Comments: Great refresher!
User Comments: It was very helpful in learning how to do the Math for the different items needed. I felt comfortable in calculating BMI, THR, O2Max and etc. thank you
User Comments:
It was a very comprehensive course that helped me tremendously on the exam.
ACE RESPONSE: Great! So glad this course was important in your exam preparation.
User Comments: This was a great course to help you learn and then use math that is relevant to fitness and nutrition.
User Comments: Highly recommend if you have any questions about the formulas or math needed when working with clients.
User Comments: You should take this course before the exam. It is still overwhelming however. I am not sure how to remember all the formulas, as wells as conversions for each problem without having any notes or calculator during the test. Pretty overwhelming, so this at least helps.
User Comments: Thank You for Your help explaining metabolic and other calculations.
User Comments: I would have learned more if there was a video to go along and I had a hard time figuring out waist to hip ratios when it didn't show me all the math. (29/35 instead of showing all the long division. I had to look up videos to do long division)
User Comments: The test definitely helped me achieve a better understanding of the math involved in fitness.
User Comments: Should let students know whether the formulas will be presented on the exam because it is a lot of information to absorb and prep for prior. Just the base formulas would be ideal because come exam day students will likely be stressed regarding the other course material. Most fitness facilities have programs designed for calculating fitness formulas and private personal trainers can build excel programs that can break it down for them based on each client.
User Comments: This was a great course for getting ready for the exam and in the every day fitness enviroment.
User Comments: the choices could have been a little bit more vague, since doing calculations with rounding off within the problem and having the numbers being 1 digit apart i found to be a bit unfair.
User Comments: This course is VITAL to your exam results. If you are planning on taking this before your exam, it will benefit you incredibly. DO NOT wait to take it afterwards. Best thing, you don't have to take the math quiz right away. Even if you do, you can pause during the quiz at any time and return later. But take your time and just study the content. In the PT book the math was mostly confusing and jumbled, but this goes straight to the point and the facts you need. It is so much more clear than the book on everything concerning math. I love how this course is short, sweet, and simple. Gives you examples, questions, and step-by-step explanations. Again, highly recommended to improve your exam scores. Wonderful, wonderful course!
User Comments: Very helpful in reviewing basic math skills; useful particularly for those who are dependent on calculators.
User Comments: I would definately recommend this course to anyone that feels the formulas are even a little bit confusing.
User Comments: If you are not totally proficient in basic math skills without using a calculator, stop now and sign up for this course.
User Comments: Excellent and definitely worth the time and effort!!!
User Comments: Very helpful in understanding the formulas, however my only critique is that this entire nodule should be part of the actual study modules already provided in this certification course, as it is critical to success on any exam. It should not, in my opinion, be sold as an additional item to purchase.
It is VITAL to anyone wanting to understand the calculations for the tests performed as a personal trainer. Great test and explanations overall, so until ACE decides to incorporate it into their course outline, you should spend the money to purchase this.
User Comments: How to go through it several times before really taking test. But it helped with calculations I could not get in the basic text of the PT manual.
User Comments: Excellent review course.
User Comments: I liked the course, but I feel like I need more examples and less of some of the basics in the beginning. I needed more of the formula applications and MORE of them!
User Comments: I was very confused & overwhelmed with the math. After taking the course, I feel more cofident in my abilities to not only pass the test, but use be able to use it effectively.
User Comments: The material was easy to follow and understand. This is a great refresher course.
User Comments: The course is great. The math problems are broken down step by step and you get the opportunity to practice each math question before moving on to the next problem. I feel much more confident about my upcoming exam.
User Comments: I was very nervous about the math, it was not explained in enough detail for me to get it in the book. This course broke it down and explained each equation so well. The course really boosted my confidence!
User Comments: Thanks for offering this easy to understand program.
User Comments: Straight to the point details on how formulas are applied to the practice of personal training.
User Comments: The course is developed very well however i feel it was lacking more real world examples
User Comments: Loved it! Very helpful for figuring out calclations. I use it as a resource for new clients.
User Comments: I think one or two of the questions were wrong, but that may have been fixed by now. Very thorough preparation for the exam. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to have more ease in taking the exam math questions.
User Comments: excellent
User Comments: Would Like The Name Of The 2nd Referenced Website... I Got The 1ST One, However, As Soon As I Clicked On That One Before I Wrote Down The 2nd One.... Can Someone Pass It Along? :) Thank You!
User Comments: I feel more confident for having taken it. I'll probably want to walk through it one more time before my exam.
User Comments: This course helped to break the formulas down that were easier to remember.
User Comments: Very good review. However, the answer to problem number 20 is incorrect. 24L/min x 5 Kcal/min x 30 min = 360 Kcals not 363.
User Comments: Helped me to understand the math portion of the exam a lot better. I feel more confident going into the exam now.
User Comments: I was a little disappointed that there were no VO2Max questions, but overall, good review. One question does not have the right answer so you automatically get it wrong unless you guess the right one. Great for review before taking PT test.
User Comments: This is a great course for those of us that may have not dealt with algebra in a while. Just make sure to review this course weeks before taking the test.
User Comments: It helped me a lot to understand how to use math for personal training.
User Comments: Excellent practice!
User Comments: The course is a great review for those that have been in the field or have a degree in a related field. If someone does not have experience with this information it is a great course that explains things in a plain simple way. This is a great course for anyone to take!
User Comments: It was pretty helpful.
User Comments: I just wish that it would save where you left off. I had to do it over and over because it doesn't clue you in to where you are in the course(how many slides to finish) nor pick uup where you left off.
User Comments: It was a little glitchy. One frame in particular would skip straight to the question without letting me read the information. All together, though, it was a very helpful refresher.
User Comments: I found this course to be of great help in preparation for the exam.
User Comments: It was a good course and helped me understand "Fitness" math. I would recommend this.
User Comments: This course was a helpful, although slightly too easy version of the basics. Good refresher though.

text: T.J. Burnham Archives Washington Apple Report Gives High Score To Industry Warnings include export decline, regulations, less labor. Published on: Jan 2, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print A new Washington apple industry economic health report paints a picture of profit for the transportation industry in the state, highlighting the Port of Quincy for its "cold train" services. The port is cited as a "key freight mobility" location serving several packers. "The Port of Quincy operates an intermodal terminal that ships apples and other refrigerated and frozen products to the Midwest with the Cold Train service," the report on the economic impact of the apple industry states. "This service started in 2010 and features specially designed containers that can be trans-loaded from trucks and rail and back to trucks for efficient transport and delivery. The shipping volume is expanding rapidly and rail deliveries are being extended to eastern U.S. markets.Washington's apple industry continues to look promising to industry spokesmen. "Service is provided six days per week. About 70% of the east bound cargo is fresh Washington apples." The independent report from a Portland economic survey firm posts a statement illustrating that the apple business is an industry of growth for the state, a crop enterprise that has grown dramatically for four decades, the authors note. With new markets opening abroad in Asia, the Middle East, Mexico and Latin America, the Washington apple has become an international commodity traded on its high quality value. While old-time varieties like Delicious may have built the new surge for the industry in earlier years, newcomers like Fuji and Gala have come to the foreground as highly popular choices in more recent times. Red Delicious, once the vanguard of the Wenatchee apple scenario commanding nearly 70% of the business in the '90s, fell to 31% in 2010, the report documents. Moving up since the '90s, when they were relatively unknown, are the Fuji and Gala commanding a 35% market share in 2010. Along with Granny Smith apples, the trio now represents the bulk of apple production from the Evergreen State. ~~~PAGE_BREAK_HERE~~~Total revenue generated by the Washington apple, when all related services are included, comes to nearly $7 billion, the report compilations reveal. But the industry faces many challenges, the writers add, including the embellishment of trade along with the effort to defeat trade barriers and unfair foreign regulations that act as blockades to expanded export sales. Not to mention what the report labels a "wide array of international competitors." Nevertheless, "growers, packers and marketers of Washington apples are optimistic," the report states. One of the basic headaches mounting in apples and all orchard industries is the dwindling labor supply, one reason Washington State University researchers based in Wenatchee are working hard to develop mechanical harvesters and other reduced-labor devices such as thinning tools that cut work hours and manpower needs. High regulatory costs for the industry are also listed as a challenging obstacle to expansion of the industry, noting that such rules "could restrict future business growth." Supportive government policies, the report notes, "will be invaluable to keeping the Washington apple industry on an upward growth path." Apples remain the state's No. 1 crop, leading the agricultural charge While labor availability problems remain, employee compensation from the apple machine is put at $1.95 billion a year, and the business in total posts a tax bill of nearly $500 million annually. For more on this story, see the January issue of Western Farmer-Stockman.

Listen to the Cancer.Net Podcast: Preparing Your Child for Medical Procedures, adapted from this feature.
Doctors may need to perform a variety of medical tests and procedures to learn more about your child's cancer and to provide the best treatment. Anticipating and having these procedures often is a major source of anxiety and stress for both children and parents. Fortunately, much of the anxiety surrounding procedures can be reduced by carefully preparing you and your child. The amount and type of preparation needed may vary depending on whether the procedure is a diagnostic examination or a treatment procedure. Diagnostic examinations may happen infrequently, while treatment procedures may be frequent occurrences for a specific time.
Why preparation helps
Many parents think they should not tell a child about an upcoming procedure, especially if they anticipate it may hurt. However, children need clear and honest information. If you tell your child that a procedure will not hurt, and then it does, the child may be surprised and confused. Your child may then expect all procedures to hurt and will not believe you if you say otherwise. Many children can cope with pain, loud machines, or uncomfortable positions if they know when it will happen and how long it will last. With this upfront information, your child may be able to express what he or she needs to stay calm and bear the unpleasant experience. You may want to explain to your child that things that are unpleasant have to be done to help him or her get better, but remind the child that he or she is not having this procedure because he or she did anything wrong.
Preparing yourself
It is natural for you to become upset if your child is in pain or scared. Take the time you need to learn about the procedure and prepare yourself emotionally. Knowing what to expect will help you stay calm, allowing you to better comfort and support your child.
Find out the details of the procedure or intervention, such as who will perform it, how long it is expected to last, and what kind of sedation or anesthesia will be provided. In addition, ask which parts of the procedure may be painful or frightening, what measures will be taken to control any discomfort, and how best to prepare your child so that he or she may be relaxed. Also ask whether you will be able to stay with your child.
A social worker, nurse, child life specialist, or another member of the health care team can help you find the right words to explain the medical procedures and help your child understand what is happening.
Preparing your child
Children older than age two should be given as much information about the procedure as they ask for. As with all the conversations you have with your child about cancer, your discussions should be geared to your child's age and level of understanding. Be honest and open, but avoid graphic or overly frightening descriptions. Encourage questions, but look for signals that your child has received enough information, such as changing the subject or expressing a lack of interest in talking. Below are tips for making sure your child knows what to expect.
- Ask the hospital staff whether it offers a pre-admission program. These programs allow children and families to familiarize themselves with the procedure and the equipment that will be used. If not, have a nurse or social worker explain the procedure to your child.
- Ask if your hospital or clinic has educational materials for children. Many hospitals provide story or coloring books, videos, or pamphlets designed for children.
- Younger children often benefit from "playing" a procedure before undergoing the actual procedure. Your child may want to watch the procedure being done on a teddy bear or doll first. A child life specialist or social worker can help guide your child's play session. At home, you may want to rehearse this procedure with your child. For example, with radiation therapy or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test, you can practice with your child by holding still for the length of time that the treatment or procedure will occur.
- If your child is staying overnight in the hospital, speak to the nurse or child life specialist about using the treatment room versus the child's hospital bed for any procedures. It is important, whenever possible, to keep the child's bed a safe space.
When to tell your child about an upcoming procedure depends on both the age and personality of your child. In general, preschool-aged children only need to be told a day or so in advance, while school-aged children and teenagers may want to know earlier. Some children may worry for days if they are told about a procedure too far in advance. Meanwhile, some school-aged children and teenagers may find it helpful to keep appointments on a calendar. You will probably need to experiment to determine what works best for your child. Parents know their child the best, but a general rule of thumb is to determine how soon to tell your child about a procedure based upon his or her age. For example, a three-year-old child can be prepared three days in advance of the procedure. Another important rule of thumb is to prepare the child according to his or her senses, addressing what the child will see, smell, hear, taste, or touch during the procedure.
During the procedure
You and your child may want to establish a special plan for procedure days; for instance, determine who will go to the hospital, what you will bring with you, and what special treat you will give your child after the procedure. Older children may want to write plans down. Having a plan helps children feel more in control of the situation. Be sure to discuss your plan with a member of your child's health care team to make sure it will not interfere with the procedure.
Consider these tips for helping your child to remain as calm as possible during procedures.
- Comfort your child with soothing words and gentle touches. Offer to hold your child's hand.
- Provide distraction by telling a story, singing, or reading a book. Older children may want to listen to music on headphones. Some hospitals have video players in treatment rooms. Sometimes children like to imagine pleasant scenes during a procedure, such as going shopping, playing at the beach, or scoring the winning goal. These types of experiences can help pass the time.
- Encourage your child to bring along a favorite object, such as a teddy bear or blanket. This is especially helpful for radiation procedures when your child must be alone in the room. You may want to give your child something of yours, such as a scarf or keys. For procedures involving radiation therapy, it is a good idea for the child to bring his or her own music or book on CD to listen to during the treatment.
- Give your child an achievable goal, such as holding still. Tell your child that is okay to cry, but that his or her job is to keep still during the procedure.
Most children count on their parents for support during procedures and want a parent to stay with them. This may not be possible in some situations, so ask the doctor for guidance and identify who will be present so that you can ask them to comfort and support your child.
It is important to make arrangements for the siblings in advance of the procedure day and inform them in an age-appropriate manner of what will be happening with their brother or sister. Try to keep their routine as regular as possible, and make sure that the siblings know how to contact you on that day.
Pain management
Even the best preparation cannot eliminate all of the pain associated with some procedures. Talk with your child's doctor about pain management during procedures. For procedures that involve injections or intravenous (IV) insertions, pain medication is usually rubbed on the skin or injected just under the skin to numb the area. Longer procedures, such as spinal taps or bone marrow aspirations, usually require sedation or general anesthesia.
Common fears
Children's fears depend on their age, personality, and the procedure itself. Usually, infants and younger children are most afraid of being separated from their parents, while older children are most afraid of pain. Some teenagers are not only afraid of pain, but also embarrassed to admit they are afraid of pain. Older children and teenagers may also be embarrassed if procedures involve their genital area and worry about privacy during the procedure.
For procedures involving needles, pain is usually the biggest fear. Children who need surgery may be afraid of feeling pain during the surgery itself. They may not understand the "special sleep" associated with general anesthesia, and they need to be reassured that you will be there after the surgery. Find out if the hospital policy allows you to be in the recovery room after your child wakes up from the anesthesia.
Older children and teenagers may also worry about how their bodies will look after surgery. It is important that you discuss and acknowledge your child's fears and feelings. It may help your child to know that his or her fears are normal and that other children feel the same way.
Although most children learn to cope well with procedures, not all children do. This is especially true if your child has a pre-existing fear (such as a fear of needles) or has had a bad experience with a procedure that did not go well. If your child is fearful of a certain procedure, your child may benefit from working with a child life specialist or a child psychologist or psychiatrist who is a member of your child's health care team.
After the procedure
You may notice some behavioral changes in your child after the procedure. Some children may regress by acting younger than their age. Others may cling to you more than usual and will not separate from you as easily as they have in the past. These are common reactions that usually disappear with time. Acknowledge your child's frustrations and regressive behavior, but it is important to continue to provide age-appropriate activities and remain consistent with your family's regular routine and behavioral guidelines.

The knives are out for Rahmbo.
President Obama's top aide, Rahm Emanuel, has become a lightning rod within his party for criticism of the administration. While liberal Democrats complain that Emanuel has failed his boss by trying to be too conciliatory with Republicans, moderates argue Obama's agenda has stalled because Emanuel's pragmatic advice has been ignored too often.
Here's what pundits are saying about Emanuel's job security and how he is or isn't holding back progress on Obama's agenda:

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF VARIABLE STAR OBSERVERS 25 Birch Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA INTERNET: firstname.lastname@example.com Tel. 617-354-0484 Fax 617-354-0665 AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 292 (January 10, 2002) 0659-03 PECULIAR VARIABLE IN MONOCEROS (VAR MON 02) We have been informed by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (IAU Circular 7785) that Nicholas J. Brown, Quinns Rocks, W. Australia, has photographically discovered a possible nova in Monoceros on January 6.6 UT at about magnitude 10 on a T-Max 400 film. He confirmed it visually on January 7.6 UT at magnitude 10.0. Confirming observations reported via the AAVSO were: Jan. 8.094 UT, 10.1 CCDV, Charles Scovil, Stamford, CT; 9.513, 9.3 CCD, Peter Nelson, Ellinbank, Victoria, Australia; 9.815, 9.5 CCD, Arto Oksanen and Juha Solonen, Nyrola Observatory, Finland. Brown reported that nothing was visible at the location of the object down to magnitude 12 on a photograph taken 2001 December 22. Oksanen measured the object on a CCD image taken January 9.96 UT at CCDV magnitude 9.92, B-V = +1.72, and the coordinates: R.A. = 07h 04m 04.85s Decl. = -03 degrees 50' 51.1" (2000.0) Aaron Price, AAVSO Headquarters, examined 71 RH plates at the Harvard College Observatory covering the interval 1930 October 19 - 1952 January 17 and taken at an average interval of about 110 days. He found nothing at the location of the object down to about 11.5 in 1930 to down to about 13.5 in 1950. R. M. Wagner, LBT Observatory, and J. P. Halpern and M. Jackson, Columbia University, observed the object visually with the Hiltner 2.4-m telescope (+ television acquisition system) at the MDM Observatory on Kitt Peak and found it to be about magnitude 10 on January 9.27 UT. They note that the object is in virtually the same location as a red-magnitude 14.3 USNO-A2.0 star at R.A. 07h 04m 04.846s Decl. -03 degrees 50' 51.12" (2000.0) measured on the Digitized Sky Survey; they also note, however, that the DSS image is a blend of at least two stellar objects. The spectrum they obtained is very complex and is "not typical of Fe- or He/N-type classical novae early in their evolution." (IAU Circular 7785) Preliminary analysis of spectra obtained January 8 UT by M. Della Valle, Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri, Florence, and T. Iijima, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, Italy, with the 1.22-m telescope (+ Boller & Chivens spectrograph) show "a lack of the typical signatures exhibited by classical novae at maximum light or during their early decline...[Features] may suggest this object not to be a normal classical nova, but rather a peculiar 'slow' nova or a post-asymptotic-giant-branch star in flare-up. Knowledge of the amplitude of the outburst could improve significantly the classification." (IAU Circular 7786) Observations by J. Bedient, Honolulu, HI, CCD with RG-1 filter (broadband-red) (IAU Circular 7785): 2001 December 22.284 UT, <12; 24.279, <12; 26.273, <12; 2002 January 1.257, 9.64, 2.254, 9.34; 3.251, 9.10, 4.249, 9.05; 5.246, 8.80; 8.238, 9.02; 9.235, 8.88. S. Kiyota, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan, reports observations (IAU Circular 7786): January 9.497 UT, 8.28 CCDI_c; 9.498, 10.10 CCDV; 9.498, 12.16 CCDB. Additional observations reported to the AAVSO include: January 10.1041 UT, 10.4, M. Simonsen, Macomb, MI; 10.1375, 10.06 CCDV, D. West, Mulvane, KS; 10.2444, 10.4, Simonsen. Accompanying is an AAVSO 'd' scale preliminary chart of VAR MON 02 prepared by Aaron Price with sequence prepared by Mike Simonsen using Tycho-2 and USNO-A2.0 (V) magnitudes. Please use this chart to observe the object, and report your observations of 0659-03 VAR MON 02 to AAVSO Headquarters, making sure to indicate which comparison stars you used. Please note that a 'd' scale reversed chart is also available from the AAVSO website or on request. Congratulations to Nick on his latest discovery!

HARRISONBURG, Va., Jan. 23, 2014 – James Madison's women's soccer player Ashley Herndon (Ashburn, Va./Stone Bridge) was named one of the top 100 freshmen in the nation by Top Drawer Soccer following an outstanding first season for the Dukes, coming in at No. 92.
Additionally, the Dukes had three players, senior Becky Sparks (Laurel Springs, N.J./Paul VI), junior Shannon Rano (Branchburg, N.J./Immaculata) and senior Lauren Wilson (Coatesville, Pa./Downingtown), listed among the top 20 players in the Colonial Athletic Association. Each player played a pivotal role as JMU won the conference regular season title outright for the first time in program history.
Herndon led a large group of freshmen that made an immediate impact for the Dukes this past season. The group received four CAA Rookie of the Week awards, including three by Herndon. Following the season she received the conference's Rookie of the Year award and was named All-CAA, All-Mid-Atlantic Region and All-State. She ranked second on the team with 19 points, tallying six goals and seven assists. She also scored four game-winning goals, which was tied for the second-most in the CAA.
Sparks, the CAA's Defensive Player of the Year, was listed as the fifth best player in the conference, the highest of any defender. The senior's honors this season included first team selections on the All-Mid-Atlantic, All-CAA, All-ECAC and All-State teams. She tallied 18 assists during her career, good enough for 10th all-time at JMU.
Rano was picked as the 11th best player in the conference and the third best defender. The junior was a cornerstone of the JMU defensive effort, playing every minute of the regular season before missing the postseason with an injury. She earned second team All-CAA honors.
Lauren Wilson put together one of the top offensive careers statistically at JMU and came in at No. 15 on Top Drawer's list. An All-CAA selection for the third time, Wilson tallied six goals, including four in the final four games of the regular season. She finished her career fifth on JMU's all-time list with 30 career goals.

You are super luck with the IVF being covered under insurance! EVERYTHING we have done has been out of pocket. We will be heading into IVF most likely next cycle (actually probably not until 2013), or at least that is what I want to do. I asked DH the other day what he wanted to do and he said quit. I asked if he was serious and he said yes, then said this wasn't the time to be asking (we were at a bar). He is at his pheasant hunt right now, but when he gets home today I will be asking again! I just don't think I am ready to quit quite yet!
I'm sorry your DH is getting burnt out. Maybe going hunting and having the weekend to relax will help him feel better about it. As much of a pain all of this is I wouldn't want to stop ttc until I had explored all my options. Hopefully this cycle will work for you and you won't have to worry about it. That's what I'm shooting for anyway!
However, do you know if you want to go through with IVF? DH and I have had long discussions about this. Ultimately, I don't think we'd do it. IVF usually ends up being $35,000 or so. That's for a chance that you may get pregnant. We're more apt to take that money and invest it in adoption, which can be about the same amount of money. Lots to think about. If you feel strongly about making it happen, though, do it! Otherwise, you'll regret it later on in life and have to live with the "what ifs."
Since you have gotten a BFP you probably don't have to worry about IVF? It does seem like a less likely possibility anyway. Definitaely fingers crossed for you!
I'm feeling pretty good right now. (Not in the sense that I think this is it, but that I'm just not worried about it) There is so much other stuff going on in our lives right now that TTC is no longer my main source of stress. I keep telling myself that it will happen when the time is right and it just hasn't been our time yet. I just try to keep praying about it and put it all in God's hands. Meanwhile, we will keep trying until we run out of things to try. As the saying goes, "Pray to God, but row for shore"
I don't know my CD day, but AF just ended. I will probably be going off CM, etc for the next couple of months and see what happens.
I am not holding out hope for this cycle. I am not really having any signs or symptoms and just don't "feel" it! I am going to have to have the conversation with DH this week, I am due to test on Sunday.
I am not going to let DH cop out on me. I want to do everything possible to make it happen. I know IVF is expensive, but I think we could manage. We will see when we have "the talk".
It amazes me how your DH is into talking about the whole baby thing. Not that DH doesn't want a baby, but he doesn't want to have to talk about those things. I guess it is the man in him, but it really does piss me off about him. He just looks at me and is like "do we really need to make that decision now?" Well this time he won't get out of it so easily.

4266 Main St, Philadelphia, PA | Directions 1912740.024722 -75.222240
Sun-Thurs 9am-10pm; Fri-Sat 9am-11pm
Neighborhoods: Northwest Philadelphia, Manayunk
Lively, bustling spot for a quick meal. Menu offers great options for veggies & meat-eaters alike.The breads are tops.
Declining institution – have been eating at "Le Bus" since it was a Penn Campus staple in the late 1990's and It was my "meal plan" I am sorry to say I have seen an incredible, unique eating experience deteriorate over the years until finally, I'm forced to tell the world. Here are SPECIFIC examples:
1. The menu continues to shrink year by year until it's pretty much a buger and salad joint with Literally FOUR non-burger/salad entree options.
2. Painfully slow service
3.. They continue to shink portion sizes while raising prices- specifically I had 14 mussels in my appetizer (yes, I counted) of which 3 or 4 were empty. I am a mussel fanatic and usual portion size is about 24-30. 4. Cut backs on the "good stuff" no guacamole on my nachos tongight REALLY peeved me. 5. They seem to have made their ice-tea glasses about 50% smaller in recent months, doubleing the time you wait for a refill. 6. They made my daughter's grilled cheese sandwich on a hamburger bun with 1 piece of cheese. It was dry and tasteless and my 2 yr old asked where her grilled cheese was. I had to ask the same question. 7. Same menu items over and over except for a daily special. 8. The waitress never even bothered to bring the bread, which is certainly a high point. The bread is excellent. Ah, how I long for the good ol' Le Bus, not this shadow of its former self that I go to out of habit, good location, and kid/ dog friendliness. (it's good points) Winnie- Put some fresh energy into your joint and make it remarkable again, not just a bad habit. We would welcome you back with open arms!
Poor Service, Unreasonable – The bread was good and that is about it. I ordered their pasta dish $13.50 with an additional cost of $5.00 for shrimp, and I only got 4 super small shrimp. I mentioned this to the waitress and she told me too bad, and the manager came and told me thats how it comes. This ruined the mood, and the manager coming to tell me was unwarranted.
Great family place!! – We always go to Le Bus, the food is always great, the service is always friendly, and they are very tolerant of all different kinds of clientele - kids, families, couples, etc. They serve really great bread and don't charge you for it, and although the menu is not extensive, everything on the menu is done well. Our favorite thing is the turkey burger with sweet potato fries, but we also like the Salmon and Mashed Potatoes, among other things. We've always been seated promptly and treated well!
Brown Rice Nut Salad. – I have been going to Le Bus for years. During my law school days, Le Bus was one of the few restaurants at which I could afford to eat regularly. For just $10, you can easily score a bowl of soup or vegetarian chili, basket of bread, and a beer. Happily, my circumstances now permit me to select from the entire menu. Some of the notable dishes Ive had over the years include the grilled pork chops, which are savory not sweet, and the black bean enchilada. But the signature dish, the one that keeps me coming back, is the brown rice nut salad. In addition to the savory and sweet salad, the plate includes hummus, olives, feta, and multigrain pita wedges. The atmosphere is vibrant, occasionally hectic. From the bar, where I usually sit, you can survey the entire restaurant while you have your meal. Excellent spot from which to people watch during the warm months.
From humble beginnings on Penn's campus, this baked goods empire now supplies fine restaurants and farmer's markets. – In Short
Housed initially in a school bus on a college parking lot, Le Bus has risen to become a major provider of baguettes and multigrain loaves to high-end eateries and first-class airline travelers, as well as farmers' markets and regional supermarkets. For hungry individuals, the on-site restaurant serves everything from D.I.Y. omelets and six-grain pancakes to grilled chicken sandwiches and Thai turkey salads. As for takeout goods: Don't wait until evening; fresh loaves disappear quickly.
Brunch was horrible – First, they do not take reservations which means that you will wait for over an hour for Sunday Brunch. I ended up eating at the bar which I don't mind but I do mind after having to wait over 45 minutes past the time I was originally told. Plus, they charge $8.00 for Mimosas with Cook's Champagne-UNBELIVABLE!! If I wanted to have a headache for bad champagne I would rather go somewhere where I didn't have to wait for a table or pay so much for a bad Mimosa. However, the service was friendly and attentive and made the brunch more enjoyable.
Change of ownership in 2003 – This restaurant is under new ownership since April 2003.
The prior reviews do not apply.
Bread, bread bread!!!! – The absolute best thing about Le Bus is the bread. At brunch, a basket will feature three delicious kinds. The rest of the brunch menu is rather limited, but it's always been well prepared and yummy. Get there before 11 though on a sunday. While popular with families, it's not too noisy.

About the Endocrine System
The foundations of the endocrine system are the hormones and glands. As the body's chemical messengers, hormones transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to another. Although many different hormones circulate throughout the bloodstream, each one affects only the cells that are genetically programmed to receive and respond to its message. Hormone levels can be influenced by factors such as stress, infection, and changes in the balance of fluid and minerals in blood.
A gland is a group of cells that produces and secretes, or gives off, chemicals. A gland selects and removes materials from the blood, processes them, and secretes the finished chemical product for use somewhere in the body. Some types of glands release their secretions in specific areas. For instance, exocrine glands, such as the sweat and salivary glands, release secretions in the skin or inside of the mouth. Endocrine glands, on the other hand, release more than 20 major hormones directly into the bloodstream where they can be transported to cells in other parts of the body.
The major glands that make up the human endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal body, and the reproductive glands, which include the ovaries and testes. The pancreas is also part of this hormone-secreting system, even though it is also associated with the digestive system because it also produces and secretes digestive enzymes.
Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid Cancer forms in the thyroid gland (an organ at the base of the throat that makes hormones that help control heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and weight). Four main types of thyroid cancer are papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic thyroid cancer. The four types are based on how the cancer cells look under a microscope.

Blogger Shane Burcaw has spinal muscular atrophy, a form of muscular dystrophy that has confined him to a wheelchair since he just 2-years-old.
Shane relies on others for almost everything. But despite the insurmountable challenges he faces, the 20-year-old lives each day with a smile.
And while his disease is no laughing matter, Shane says it's the laughter that has helped his family rise above it.
