E-Mail This Story
LARNED, Kan. (AP) -- A sword presented more than 150 years ago to an Army officer who became one of only 19 men to have received two Medals of Honor has a new home in Kansas.
Frank Dwight Baldwin served in the Civil War and later fought American Indians in outposts that included Fort Larned, Kan. The sword he was presented by the Michigan Horse Guards in September 1861 now will be on permanent display at Fort Larned National Historic Site.
The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/10LQswi) reports the sword was presented by the fort's Old Guard, a volunteer and support group whose members bought it from an anonymous seller on eBay for $6,000.
Baldwin was stationed at Fort Larned from May 1 through June 5, 1872, and again from Oct. 29, 1872, to May 1873.

Pho Bo (Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup)
A while ago I made a turkey pho using some homemade turkey stock and leftover turkey and I really enjoyed it. Pho is a Vietnamese rice noodle dish with a broth flavoured with star anise. The classical pho is made in a beef broth and is served with beef. Ever since I made the turkey pho I had been wanting to try making the traditional beef pho (or pho bo) from scratch. I started looking for a recipe in my bookmarks and the one that caught my attention was the one for pho bo on eatingclub vancouver. From there I amalgamated what I liked from a few different recipes to come up with this one.
The first step was to make the broth which required simmering beef bones for several hours. Luckily I was able to find the beef bones pretty cheap at a local butchers shop. This recipe calls for 2 cuts of beef in addition to the bones. The first cut of beef is a cheap cut that is simmered in the broth until it is falling apart tender. This adds even more flavour to the broth and then the braised beef goes into the final soup as well. The beef broth is also made with the star of the show, the star anise, and cloves, cinnamon, charred onions and ginger, fish sauce and sugar. Just with that list of ingredients it is sounding really tasty! Nice and beefy and sweet and salty and star anise'y with a hint of spices.
Once the broth is ready you are just about done; all that is left is to cook the rice noodles and assemble the soup. To assemble the soup, you place the braised beef in a bowl and top it with the cooked rice noodles followed by the second cut of beef, which is thinly sliced, along with the bean sprouts. The broth is brought to a boil and poured over the beef and beansprouts into the bowl. The boiling broth just 'cooks' the thinly sliced beef and blanches the beansprouts right in the bowl. Because you are just barely cooking the thinly sliced beef you will probably want a really nice and tender cut of beef like a tenderloin. Next you throw on your condiments such as basil, cilantro, jalapenos, hoisin sauce and chili sauce.
The pho bo broth took a bit of work and time to make but it was well worth it! It was nice and tasty and I really enjoyed the star anise flavour in a savoury dish like this. Other than the star anise, what I liked most about this soup was that it was nice and light and with all of the topping is was fresh and summery. The thinly sliced 'raw' beef on top was just perfectly cooked and nice and juicy and tender. What a great soup to enjoy on a cold winter day! Luckily I have leftovers so I will get to enjoy it for a few more days!
Pho Bo (Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup)
(makes 4 servings)Printable Recipe
4 pounds beef bones
1/2 pound beef (a cheap cut)
1 onion (halved and charred)
1 3 inch piece of ginger (cut in half and charred)
9 star anise
6 cloves
1 stick cinnamon
1 teaspoon peppercorns
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar (or sugar)
4 servings rice noodles (cooked as directed on package)
1/2 pound steak (good quality, sliced thinly)
4 handfuls beansprouts
2 handfuls Thai basil (thinly sliced)
2 handfuls cilantro
2 jalapeno peppers (sliced)
1 limes (sliced)
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons chili sauce
1. Place the bones into a large stock pot and bring to a roiling bowl for a few minutes.
2. Drain the water, rinse the bones and the pot and fill with clean water.
3. Add the beef, onion, ginger, star anise, cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, fish sauce and sugar and simmer for 2 hours.
4. Remove the beef and continue to simmer for another 2 hours.
5. Strain the solids from the broth and season the broth to taste with fish sauce and sugar.
6. Shred the beef that was simmered in the broth and divide between 4 large bowls.
7. Divide the noodles between the bowls along with the beansprouts and place a few slices of the raw beef on top.
8. Bring the broth back to a roiling boil and ladle into the bowls. (This will cook the raw beef.)
9. Garnish with the basil, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, lime slices, hoisin sauce and chili sauce.
Tip: You can char the onion and ginger directly on the flame of a gas stove or under the broiler.
Tip: You can place the beef in the freezer for 20-40 minutes before slicing to make it easier to slice thinly.
Tip: Since the broth takes so long to make you can make it the night before. Another benefit of making it the night before is that you can easily skim off the fat when you pull it out of the fridge the next day.

Areas of Expertise
Data Center Design
With the increasing demand for electronic storage and telecommunications systems, and growing trends such as cloud computing, comes the need for efficiently and effectively housing the necessary equipment. The design of the ventilation system in these spaces, whether it be an underfloor, overhead or hybrid approach, is vitally important to ensure that the equipment does not overheat while reducing equipment, operation and energy costs. Increasingly, the managers of these facilities are turning to airflow modeling during the design optimization process, for both new spaces and retro-fitting. Customers in this area have included IBM and Sun Microsystems.
To assess the cooling performance for a data center design we offer the ability to calculate the Cold Aisle Capture Index and Hot Aisle Capture Index, as well as more traditional measures such as temperature and airflow fields, equipment inlet temperatures, etc. The Capture Indices measure how efficient a particular cooling strategy is, with 100% being optimal, and offer insight into which aspects of the ventilation system are underperforming from an airflow distribution perspective. Source: James W. VanGilder, Saurabh K. Shrivastava: Capture Index: An Airflow-Based Rack Cooling Performance Metric, ASHRAE Transactions 2007, DA-07-014, Volume 113, Part 1
Occupied Spaces Comfort
The comfort of occupants in occupied and other public assembly buildings can be a challenge. In particular, occupants are often concentrated at the peripheries of the space envelope. Providing good thermal comfort in these spaces can often result in the supply of too much air into the space, thereby increasing operating costs. Our Airflow Modeling Consultancy can run effective simulations of the inside of your atria, auditoriums, theatres, etc. and determine the comfort levels of your customers or employees. Our customers in this area have included L'Acquis, Affiliated Engineers Inc., and Perkins and Will.
Passenger Cabin Comfort
The comfort of occupants is a growing issue within the transportation industry, where there is need to provide comfort uniformly within the passenger space. Ensuring that your systems offer adequate levels of ventilation, heating or cooling can be a complicated task -- often, complicated by other factors. For example, the spread of contaminants on long haul flights needs to be mitigated. Our Airflow Modeling consultants can run effective simulations of the inside of your plane, train etc. and determine the comfort levels of your passengers. Our customers in this area have included SNCF, LIEBHERR Aerospace and PSA Peugeot Citroen.
Clean Rooms
In clean room scenarios, the purity of the products is vital, and the cleanliness of the air in given areas of the space is of prime concern to the designer. Our Airflow Modeling consultants can build a model of your clean room and trace numerous contaminants through it, whether they are clothing particles or other larger sources of contaminant. We can even trace the source of any contamination. We have been involved in numerous projects in this area. Customers have included bioMerieux, Merck, Glaxo SmithKline and SGS Thomson.
Health Care Facilities
In health care facilities, airborne viruses and bacteria can be a threat to both patients and health care givers alike. These can have a devastating impact depending on where this exposure occurs, whether it's in a patient room, isolation room or operating room. It is important to be able to control or eliminate these contaminants through the effective design of the ventilation system. Mentor Graphics Mechanical has been involved in numerous projects in this area. Customers have included NIH, Affiliated Engineers, Inc. and Critical Environments Group, Inc.
In laboratories, it is important that the overall ventilation system for the space does not compromise the effectiveness of the fume hoods. In particular, potentially hazardous chemical vapors could escape from the fume hood, and cause problems for the scientists within the room. Our consultants can build a model of your laboratory and determine the effectiveness of the fume hood in containing the chemicals, and its interaction with the overall ventilation system. We can even trace the source of any contamination. We have been involved in numerous projects in this area such as those for Affiliated Engineers, Inc. and Flad and Associates, Inc.
External Flow
Modeling airflow around buildings can be important for many reasons, such as pedestrian comfort, contaminant dispersal from chemical stacks, or diesel fumes and particulates. Using airflow modeling makes it possible to check that design requirements are met without having to build expensive models for testing each time a design change is made. Mentor Graphics Mechanical has been involved in the external modeling of many buildings. Clients have included WSP and AMEC.

I remember when I was in Junior High a movie came out about Bigfoot. It had the PG footage in it.
Over the years I've seen and heard pros and cons as to the authenticity of said footage.
On one hand it's hard to believe a handful of cowboys could fake a film that experts in mimicking primates say they couldn't do. The breasts etc are sophisticated for a cowboy to do.
On the other hand Patterson wrote a book about a female Sasquatch, bought an ape suit prior to the filming.
In high school a trusted friend and teacher told me he saw a small group of Bigfoot in the Raywa Wilderness area in Colorado. I myself hiked along the switchback and trails in that very area. Several time I got that feeling I was being watched.
I was a confirmed believer in said creature, but in my old age skepticism set in.

Erysipelas is a type of skin infection (cellulitis ).
Erysipelas is usually caused by group A Streptococcus bacteria. The condition may affect both children and adults.
Risk factors include:
The infection occurs on the legs most of the time. It may also occur on the face.
Erysipelas is diagnosed based on how the skin looks. A biopsy of the skin is usually not needed.
Antibiotics such as penicillin are used to get rid of the infection. In severe cases, antibiotics may need to be given through an IV (intravenous line).
People who have repeated episodes of erysipelas may need long-term antibiotics.
With treatment, the outcome is good. It may take a few weeks for the skin to return to normal. Peeling is common.
The bacteria may travel to the blood in some cases. This results in a condition called bacteremia. The infection may spread to the heart valves, joints, and bones.
Other complications include:
Call your health care provider if you have a skin sore (lesion) that looks like erysipelas.
Keep your skin healthy by avoiding dry skin and preventing cuts and scrapes. This may reduce the risk for erysipelas.

Was it great sportsmanship, a quitter's decision, or just plain unfair?
Brought to you by Liberty Mutual's
The Responsibility Project
It was scheduled to be an attention-grabbing runoff to grab a place in the 100-meter race in this month's Olympics – until one of the contestants ended the dead heat before it had begun.
The controversy started when sprinter Jeneba Tarmoh and training partner Allyson Felix – both trained by coach Bob Kersee – crossed the line in 11.068 seconds during the June 23rd trials.
Never before had USA Track and Field seen a dead heat, nor did it have a protocol in place to settle the tie. It was an especially disappointing moment for Tarmoh, who finished the original race to look up on the scoreboard and see her name in the third spot behind winner Carmelita Jeter and runner-up Tianna Madison. According to an ESPN story, she took a celebratory lap and "soaked up the moment," hardly believing she was on her way to the Olympics in the 100.
But it was all over when she learned officials took a second look at the results and declared a tie. Following that major disappointment for Tarmoh, who felt she'd earned her place, USATF scrambled to find a solution, including a runoff, a concession, and even a coin toss. And only hours after NPR, Oregon Live and other news outlets reported that a runoff was in the works, Tarmoh backed out of the race.
ESPN reported that many view Tarmoh's choice not to race as a lost opportunity for the sport. And the decision seemed particularly unfair to some, since Felix had already qualified for the 200 meter in her greatest race ever, finishing the race in 21.69 seconds – the sixth-fastest mark of all time and the fastest women's 200 since Marion Jones ran 21.62 in 1998.
Tarmoh told ESPN that in her emotional state, completing the runoff would have been a mistake. "It was more than me winning, it was me practicing since November and training every day," she said. "It was me cramping up in the middle of practice, me throwing up at practices. It was me getting mentally prepared, physically prepared, then going to the trials and making it through each round and staying focused."
Particularly difficult, she said, was putting her all on the track, seeing her name on the scoreboard and then hearing, "'Sorry, we changed our mind. You didn't get third. It's a dead heat.'"
Tarmoh will still go to the Olympics as a member of the 400-meter relay pool, according to USATF officials. And while she may have made a disappointing decision for some fans, most would agree she showed spectacular sportsmanship, especially after sending an email to Felix to explain her decision. Felix wrote back and said, "'I hope it doesn't change our relationship, I hope it makes it stronger,'" Tarmoh said. And she says she feels the same way. So now she's back to training with Kersee and trying to put the ill-fated race behind her.
Some columnists have taken issue with Tarmoh's decision to "quit," like Washington Post columnist Tracee Hamilton, who skewered competitors who bow out: "She is a competitor, and a competitor should compete. An Olympic spot is not to be taken lightly. The same day Tarmoh gave up, Dara Torres failed to make her sixth Olympic team – at age 45. She would swim through a shark-infested pool if it meant one more chance to make the team."
Would you call the move by Tarmoh generous, a smart decision by someone who values emotional balance, or the mark of a quitter? And should Felix have made the same gesture, particularly after having qualified for the 200? Weigh in.

Aplastic anemia is a condition in which the bone marrow does not make enough new blood cells. Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue in the center of bones.
Aplastic anemia results from injury to the blood stem cells. These are immature cells in the bone marrow that give rise to all other blood cell types. The injury causes a decrease in the number of every type of blood cell. These cells include the red cells, white cells, and platelets.
Aplastic anemia can also be caused by certain medical conditions such as pregnancy or lupus. Exposure to certain toxins or medicines, including chemotherapy, can also lead to aplastic anemia.
Symptoms result from the bone marrow not being able to make new blood cells. Symptoms may be severe from the start or gradually worsen over time.
Low red cell count (anemia) can cause:
Low white cell count (leukopenia) causes an increased risk of infection.
Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) can result in bleeding. Symptoms include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask about your medical history and symptoms you may have.
Blood tests will show:
A bone marrow biopsy shows fewer-than-normal blood cells and an increased amount of fat.
Mild cases of aplastic anemia may require no treatment. Symptoms are treated as needed.
If blood counts become lower, patients receive extra blood and platelets through transfusions. Over time, transfusions may stop working, resulting in very low blood cell counts. This is a life-threatening condition.
Bone marrow transplant or stem cell transplant may be recommended for patients under age 40. This treatment works best when the donor is a fully-matched brother or sister. This is called a matched sibling donor.
Older patients and those who do not have a matched sibling donor are given medicines to suppress the immune system. These medicines may allow the bone marrow to once again make healthy blood cells. But the disease may return (relapse). A bone marrow transplant with an unrelated donor may be tried if these medicines do not help or if the disease comes back after getting better
Untreated, severe aplastic anemia leads to rapid death. Bone marrow transplant is very successful in young people. It is also used in older patients or when the disease comes back after medicines have been tried.
Call your health care provider or go to the emergency room if bleeding occurs for no reason, or if bleeding is hard to stop. Call if you notice frequent infections or unusual fatigue.

661 Recon Stealth Helmet
The Detox fit system is a ratchet mechanism that adjusts the fit of the back of a helmet to give the rider a customized fit. It can be adjusted with one hand on the fly, and it is strong enough to hold its position if it is set to your perfect setting.
In-mold technology uses the bonding of the shell material (polycarbonate) to the foam (EPS) to form a bond that is stronger allowing a helmet to be constructed with more vents and channeling creating the lightest, most ventilated helmet possible.
For good or bad, it's true that you get what you pay for. What you get for your eighty bucks is a light comfortable helmet that will save your melon for the typical crash and burns of the cross country biker. Anything more and you need a DH helmet. Anything less and you won't be wearing anything.
Love the Helmet. Looks Great, it has much better air flow then my last and it fits me better. I took a nasty spill a couple weeks back where I did a front flip and landed head/shoulder first onto the pavement. I was probably going 15 to 20 miles per hour when I wrecked. I have seen helmets split in half from less of an impact and this only ended up with a dent and some scratches. sometime in the next 6 to 8 weeks while my shoulder is healing i will be ordering another one. Think this time i will go with the white one.
Awesome helmet, very comfortable, good airflow amd looks awesome. i gave it four stars becausw i have only had it for about 3 months witout any spills and i baby it, but the clear coat on the visor is chipping off. great helmet though

No place like home for The Wizard
By Craig Muder
Ozzie Smith leaned back in his chair and gazed out upon idyllic Otesgo Lake on Thursday. After arriving at his hotel in advance of Hall of Fame Weekend 2010, The Wizard seemed to have a permanent smile on his face.
Ozzie may live in St. Louis, but Cooperstown remains his home.
"This place is very special," said the 2002 Hall of Fame inductee upon returning to Central New York. "I'm fortunate enough to come back three or four times a year, and I love every minute of it."
Smith joined more than 40 other Hall of Famers in Cooperstown on Thursday in preparation for Sunday's 1:30 p.m. Induction Ceremony for the Class of 2010. Andre Dawson, Doug Harvey and Whitey Herzog will be enshrined then, and the returning Hall of Famers will help thousands of baseball fans celebrate the moment.
Many of those Hall of Famers will also ensure that Dawson, Harvey and Herzog appreciate the experience.
"(Hall of Famer) Johnny Bench always sits the new class down at the hotel and has them just look out on the lake for a while," Smith said. "He tells them to take time to understand what this all means.
"Coming back year after year, enjoying all the laughter… I always look forward to it."
Craig Muder is director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

I'm tired of struggling through every day. Of pushing and pulling and forcing myself to at least seem okay. I'm tired of speaking and having the words come out jumbled before they can even leave my mouth. Of sleeping only when beyond exhaustion. Of making excuses. Of seeing the sunrise every single morning, having been awake all night. Of not being able to find a single bit of beauty in it.
Today, I broke all my personal promises and posted my feelings on Facebook. Oh, not the big stuff – that's for here only – but I went into far more detail than I've ever felt comfortable with, and I'm still not comfortable with it now. I only did it because I can't take unrealistic expectations anymore; I have never, ever been able to cope with being expected to act a certain way and, truthfully, I'm sick of pretending.
I was pulling myself out of it, with the help of antidepressants which have been proven to work for me. I was trying really goddamn hard, and I was almost there. I'd started eating normally again, and having showers. Things seemed to be on the up emotionally, even if they weren't so great physically.
Then… just one little thing. That's all it takes.
I don't even know what that little thing was. All I know is I'm sitting on the sofa after leaving S in bed. I cried all day. I realised I just can't take this. Everything. The pain. The sickness. The tiredness. Any of it.
I've been vomiting again, and the conclusion my mother and I came to is that it's stress. Truthfully, I accepted this explanation because the idea of facing just one more doctor is too much to bear. I've thought about it throughout the day though, and I realise it's probably true; even on days when I don't feel like a total emotional wreck, I'm still terrified of what will become of me, and it's like a ball of pure acid in my stomach to even consider the future.
Can I even see a future for myself?
Not really.
I'm relying on those closest to me – my mother, S, and a couple of people I've come to call friends – to keep me afloat, because if left to my own devices I begin to sink almost instantly. I can no longer talk to Z about any of this; it became apparent a while ago that we're probably never going to be on the same page when it comes to life.
Just like last time, the vomiting has kicked off feelings I'd rather not have; feelings of calorie counting and tape measures. Truthfully I hardly need to worry about such things since eating has become incredibly difficult with the constant nausea and risk of sudden projectile sickness, but something inside decided to worry about it anyway. I've lost a lot of weight without even trying over the past few months, and you'd think I'd be ecstatic but instead I almost feel cheated because I didn't do it myself. So, yet again, I grab for control.
I don't even believe my own lies about having control anymore. I know nothing I do gives me the slightest safety.

This production house is located in a golf-course community where McMansions regularly compete for massiveness, says architect J. Carson Looney.

A kinder, gentler massing makes this prototype production house a modest addition to its McMansion neighborhood. Dormers funnel extra light into interiors, and a screened porch adds sheltered outdoor living space.

This production house is located in a golf-course community where McMansions regularly compete for massiveness, says architect J. Carson Looney. But they often sit for a year before they're bought, whereas this one sold before it was finished. Looney says that's because his firm concentrated on quality over quantity. At 5,117 square feet, it's the not-so-big house in its neighborhood.
The program called for a large house that did not appear overbearing from the street, with a layout that captured natural light throughout the interior. "We scaled the house down and let it read as various forms," says Looney, which "allowed us to manipulate the floor plan to create distinct spaces that had opportunity for multiple exposures of natural light." The living room, for instance, is open to the front and rear, so light comes in from both ends. Views continue outside via a covered porch and an outdoor room.
"This is a nice production house," said the judges. "It's better than the average production house and better than some custom homes."

A Proud and Noble History
The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) was founded in 1902 and is the world's oldest international public health agency working to improve the health and well being of people in the Americas. PAHO's mission is to provide technical cooperation and advice to its Member States and other partners in order to promote equity in health, combat disease and improve the quality of life of the peoples of the Americas. The Organization is committed to providing the highest level of technical support and leadership to PAHO Member States as they pursue their goal of Health for All. It also serves as the Regional Office for the Americas of the World Health Organization (WHO).
Human Resources
In order to carry out its mission to strengthen national and local health systems, PAHO is continuously striving to enhance its human capital. The Organization invites applications from persons who meet not only the technical qualifications required for each position, but also have the ability to perform in a multicultural environment and share the Organization's values of excellence, integrity and teamwork.
Requirements and Qualifications
The nature of PAHO's work dictates a preference for candidates who are fluent in both in English and Spanish. Other official languages of the Organization are French and Portuguese. All professional positions require a university degree and, for more senior positions, a graduate or post-graduate degree from an accredited college or university.
Support personnel need a high school diploma and, ideally, post-secondary training in a field of work relevant to the position. Vacancies for administrative/support positions in Washington, D.C. must be filled by local candidates, i.e. candidates residing within the Washington Metropolitan Area (Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia) and who are legally allowed to work in the United States.
Employment Conditions
A career with PAHO promises the staff member a competitive pay and benefits package. Conditions of employment in the Organization conform to those established by the International Civil Service Commission for employment in the United Nations and its specialized agencies. Benefits include 30 working days paid annual leave, comprehensive health insurance coverage and participation in the United Nations Pension Fund. The conditions of employment, while not governed by national laws, promote gender equality, flexible work schedules (for many positions) and a supportive work environment.
Recruitment at PAHO
PAHO makes special efforts to recruit qualified women into its professional ranks. Women are represented at all levels of the organization, from its Headquarters in Washington, D.C. to 28 country offices and eight centers. The Organization also aims to achieve a broad representation of nationals from Member States and other countries. Selection of staff is made on a competitive basis with the objective of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence and integrity.

It's currently in a permament/long hiatus. Why? Well, think about it: who makes these comics? Artists, of course. And you know what they are as well? Humans. Don't think that everyone has time to draw these comics, as they do have lives and probably don't have time to continue the comics due to business in life. Hope this answered your question.

Mr. Sefrol wrote:But it still is interesting that throughout his time on this hiatus he's still drawn Red various times and has hinted at returning to the comic here and there. It's never definite, but there is obviously an interest to do so. Sadly with how long it's been, any attempt at reviving the comic would probably be met with little celebration with the thought of that many fans still being interested just as much. That is unless there is some large sleeping fanbase that still holds hope for its rise.
I'd... kind of wonder what would happen though if someone drew some out-of-this-world Everafter fanart that just blew him away? Wonder if that'd cause some sort of spark...

Permanent Exhibitions
On The Edge: Pacific Northwest Art from the Permanent Collection
Carl Hall Gallery
The exhibition begins with the story Oregon's pioneers of modernism and moves through the present day. On view are works created in the 1930s by artists such as C.S. Price, Charles Heaney, Amanda Synder and Constance Fowler, Willamette Valley and Central Coast artists Carl Hall, Nelson Sandgren and Ruth Dennis Grover, along with well-known mid-century Oregon modernists such as Michele Russo, George Johanson, Louis Bunce, Lucinda Parker, Lee Kelly and Manuel Izquierdo. The gallery also includes a rotating selection of works by contemporary artists from Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
This gallery is named for Carl Hall (1922-1996), who taught at Willamette University for nearly 40 years and painted a luminous record of his response to the region.
Ancestral Dialogues: Conversations in Native American Art
The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Gallery
Featuring works from the museum's permanent collection of American Indian art, this exhibition is organized around the concept of dialogue. The focus is on native art history as a dynamic, rich legacy from which contemporary arts grow today. Art works are placed in conversation, juxtaposed so that the work of many generations is in visual dialogue across time, telling stories of creation, transformation, and renewal. Historic baskets, bags, regalia, and lithics are displayed side by side with contemporary art works by artists such as Rick Bartow, James Lavadour, Bud Lane, Lillian Pitt, Pat Courtney Gold, and Joe Feddersen among many others.
Across Continents, Through Time
Mark and Janeth Sponenburgh Gallery
This exhibition features selections from the museum's European, Asian, and American Collections, which span 4,500 years and encompass four continents: Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. On view are paintings, ceramics, prints, sculptures, textiles, architectural fragments, archaeological artifacts, Orthodox icons and decorative arts that will deepen visitors' appreciation for artworks of aesthetic quality and expressive significance from cultural traditions worldwide.
Many of the works of art displayed in this gallery were generously donated to Willamette University in 1990 by Mark and Janeth Sponenburgh, and formed the basis for the creation of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art.
Print Study Center
Print Study Center
The museum's collections of works on paper – prints, drawings, paintings on paper, and photographs – are stored, studied and displayed in the Print Study Center. The collection includes many contemporary American works, particularly by artists of the Pacific Northwest. Other highlights include etchings by the 17th-century Dutch artist Anthonie Waterloo, and 19th-century American expatriate artist James Abbott McNeil Whistler, as well as an early pictorial photograph by Edward Steichen. Temporary exhibitions in the Print Study Center are designed to highlight works in the permanent collection, and complement and enhance the special exhibitions on view.

Autoimmune hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that occurs when immune cells mistake the liver's normal cells for harmful invaders and attack them.
Lupoid hepatitis; Chronic acute liver disease
This form of hepatitis is an autoimmune disease . The body's immune system can't tell the difference between healthy body tissue and harmful, outside substances. The result is an immune response that destroys normal body tissues.
Liver inflammation, or hepatitis may occur along with other autoimmune diseases, including:
Autoimmune hepatitis sometimes occurs in relatives of people with autoimmune diseases. This suggests that there may be a genetic cause.
This disease is most common in young girls and women.
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease include absence of menstruation (amenorrhea).
Tests for autoimmune hepatitis include:
You may need prednisone or other corticosteroid medicines help reduce the inflammation. Azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine are drugs used to treat other autoimmune disorders. They have been shown to help people with autoimmune hepatitis, as well.
Some people may need a liver transplant.
The outcome varies. Corticosteroid medicines may slow the progress of the disease. However, autoimmune hepatitis may advance to cirrhosis. This would require a liver transplant.
Call your health care provider if you notice symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis.
Autoimmune hepatitis is usually cannot be prevented. Knowing the risk factors may allow early detection and treatment.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart.
You will be asked to lie down. The health care provider will clean several areas on your arms, legs, and chest, and then will attach small patches called electrodes to those areas. It may be necessary to shave or clip some hair so the patches stick to the skin. The number of patches used may vary.
The patches are connected by wires to a machine that turns the heart's electrical signals into wavy lines, which are often printed on paper. The doctor reviews the test results.
You will need to remain still during the procedure. The health care provider may also ask you to hold your breath for a few seconds as the test is being done.
It is important to be relaxed and warm during an ECG recording because any movement, including shivering, can alter the results.
Sometimes this test is done while you are exercising or under light stress to look for changes in the heart. This type of ECG is often called a stress test.
Make sure your health care provider knows about all the medicines you are taking. Some drugs can interfere with test results.
Do not exercise or drink cold water immediately before an ECG because these actions may cause false results.
An ECG is painless. No electricity is sent through the body. The electrodes may feel cold when first applied. In rare cases, some people may develop a rash or irritation where the patches were placed.
An ECG is used to measure:
An ECG is often the first test done to determine whether a person has heart disease . Your doctor may order this test if:
There is no reason for healthy people to have yearly ECG tests.
Normal test results include:
Abnormal ECG results may be a sign of:
Some heart problems that can lead to changes on an ECG test include:
There are no risks.
The accuracy of the ECG depends on the condition being tested. A heart problem may not always show up on the ECG. Some heart conditions never produce any specific ECG changes.

A brain tumor is a group (mass) of abnormal cells that start in the brain.
This article focuses on primary brain tumors in children.
Glioblastoma multiforme - children; Ependymoma - children; Glioma - children; Astrocytoma - children; Medulloblastoma - children; Neuroglioma - children; Oligodendroglioma - children; Meningioma - children; Cancer - brain tumor (children)
The cause of primary brain tumors is unknown. Primary brain tumors may be:
Brain tumors are classified based on:
Brain tumors can directly destroy brain cells. They can also indirectly damage cells by pushing on other parts of the brain. This leads to swelling and increased pressure inside the skull.
Tumors can occur at any age. Many tumors are more common at a certain age. In general, brain tumors in children are very rare.
Astrocytomas are usually noncancerous, slow-growing tumors. They commonly develop in children ages 5 through 8. Also called low-grade gliomas, these are the most common brain tumors in children.
Medulloblastomas are the most common type of childhood brain cancer. Most medulloblastomas occur before age 10.
Ependymomas are a type of childhood brain tumor that can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The location and type of ependymoma determine the type of therapy needed to control the tumor.
Brainstem gliomas are very rare tumors that occur almost only in children. The average age at which they develop is about 6. The tumor may grow very large before causing symptoms.
Symptoms may be subtle and only gradually become worse. Or they may occur very quickly.
Headaches are often the most common symptom. But only very rarely do children with headaches have a tumor. Headache patterns that may occur with brain tumors include:
Sometimes the only symptoms of brain tumors are mental changes, which may include:
Other possible symptoms are:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. Infants may have the following physical signs:
The following tests may be used to detect a brain tumor and identify its location:
Treatment depends on the size and type of tumor and the child's general health. The goals of treatment may be to cure the tumor, relieve symptoms, and improve brain function or the child's comfort.
Surgery is needed for most primary brain tumors. Some tumors may be completely removed. In cases where the tumor cannot be removed, surgery may help reduce pressure and relieve symptoms. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be used for certain tumors.
The following are treatments for specific types of tumors:
Medicines used to treat primary brain tumors in children include:
Comfort measures, safety measures, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other such steps may be required to improve quality of life.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you and your child not feel alone.
How well the child does depends on many things, including the exact type of tumor. In general, about 3 of 4 children survive at least 5 years after being diagnosed.
Long-term brain and nervous system problems may result from the tumor itself or from treatment. Children may have problems with attention, concentration, or memory. They may also have problems processing information, planning, insight, or initiative or desire to do things.
Children younger than age 7, especially younger than age 3, seem to be at greatest risk of these complications.
Parents need to make sure that children receive support services at home and at school.
Call a health care provider if a child develops headaches that do not go away or other symptoms of a brain tumor.
Go to the emergency room if a child develops any of the following:

Approximately 122,000 Tibetans, including those of Tibetan ancestry, live outside their homeland. Seonaigh MacPherson, Anne-Sophie Bentz, and Dawa Bhuti Ghoso provide an in-depth look at Tibetan history and Tibetans' migration to India and the West in this first of our two-part series on the Tibetan diaspora.
Along with increased trade and Chinese investment in Africa has come new migration between the two regions. Malia Politzer places this movement in context and looks at the types of Chinese migrants going to Africa and the Africans going to China.
For many Armenians, working abroad and sending money home has become the main way of coping with poverty and limited job prospects. Aleksandr V. Gevorkyan, Arkady Gevorkyan, and Karine Mashuryan examine recent labor migration flows, the growth in remittances, and concerns about the country's dependence on both.
Migrants' networks and relatively small travel distances help explain migration from one developing country to another. Dilip Ratha and William Shaw of the World Bank look at these and other reasons for and effects of South-South migration.
Most migrants living and working in developing countries come from other developing countries. Dilip Ratha and William Shaw of the World Bank analyze data on this type of migration, known as South-South, and estimate the amount of South-South remittances and their cost.

Our staff are mostly from Europe (3 of the 4 Admins) and US/Canada; but the remaining staff groups are purposely split between EU & US timezones to try and cover a 24 hour period.
Site Operations
This should be obvious, there are 4 administrators on Neowin, 2 site founders Marcel and Myself, Daniel Fleshbourne (was the first staffer we took on and was promoted to this in early 2001), as well as our American co-owner Brad Wardell (aka Frogboy).
This group consists of coders and developers for all aspects of behind the scenes work at Neowin, including image creation. This group has exclusive access to our servers.
Forum Operations
Color coded from green.
The Supervisor group was created to take the load off the admins, the staff selected (usually a group of no more than 6) are long term trusted staff. They are given administrator permissions and can make operational decisions without fear of being over ruled by the admin group. This group also has an ops forum and many decisions are talked about and decided between admins and supervisors with the help of developers.
Global Mod
This group is another name for "Super Moderator" meaning that anyone in this group can moderate anywhere including news comments. Most Global Moderators are assigned a section to supervise, where they provide guidance to Moderators.
This group contains staff that are usually new to the staff and have been given a specific forum or number of forums to moderate exclusively, they cannot moderate everywhere so we try to keep this group small. They also have permissions to edit News comments. This group includes the Chat Moderators.
News Operations
Color coded from red. News is submitted both in UK & US English, depending on the location of the poster.
Senior News Editor
Head of the news team. Directs, approves and supervises all news activities.
News Editor
This group can promote news stories submitted by News Reporters to the main page, and is responsible for quality control.
News Reporter
This group submits news to the site, and in most cases is paid per article for the effort. This group is moderated by Editors & Senior Editors.
Non Staff
This is where ex staffers go that have contributed a lot to Neowin. Not all ex staffers go here, if they leave on bad terms or simply did not deliver while on staff then they are instead returned to their previous group.
+Subscriber and +Subscriber²
The people in this group paid for additional privileges and enhanced service, or just to support Neowin financially! You can view our subscription details & pricing here.
+Most Valued Contributor
This group was selected exclusively by the Neowin staff, it is a group of members who the staff felt have been model members and very helpful to existing or new members of Neowin. Requires being a member of Neowin for a year as well as having a minimum of 500 posts.
