OCLC Policy Change Radical Reference Salon Discussion
WorldCat is a great idea—libraries band together to share catalog records in a single repository. Libraries add their own records and download others, spreading the work of maintaining a library catalog across the profession while enabling services like interlibrary loan. But these good acts are in danger of being compromised by a rapacious, monopolizing OCLC that is seeking to severely restrict the ways libraries can share their own data. The new Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records is scheduled to go into effect in the third quarter of this year. What does it mean for libraries? For open access projects like LibraryThing and Open Library? What does it mean for library activists committed to freedom of information, including the freedom of data we ourselves produce? What might meaningful resistance look like, before and after the policy change?
Event Specs
Date/Time: Friday, January 23, 8pm
Place: ABC No Rio, 156 Rivington St., Manhattan
Cost: Free, but a $1-2 contribution for ABC No Rio would be nice
Organized by: The NYC Radical Reference Collective

- American Libraries Online. "WorldCat Policy Revision Draws Librarians' Ire." December 12, 2008. (Natalie)

- Beall, Jeffrey. "OCLC: A Review" in Radical Cataloging: Essays at the Front, edited by K.R. Roberto. Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Co. 2008. (Emily)
Beall writes with fervor about the problems he sees with OCLC. First, he argues that OCLC represents a monopoly that steals and consolidates the labor of catalog librarians and then sells it back to them at an exorbitant rate. Because they have no competitors--or buy them up, as they did with netLibrary--libraries have little recourse. Second, OCLC has notoriously dirty data and provides no incentive for librarians to clean that data up. Third, despite their reliance on computer science and business majors, OCLC fails to implement software well. Connexion, the cataloging client, goes down with regularity and OCLC is nonresponsive. Beall touches throughout on labor problems with OCLC including their failure to hire degreed librarians, a parochial reliance on Ohio State graduates, and the poor working conditions of temporary catalogers.

Guiding Questions
We expect the conversation to take on a shape guided by who shows up and what they're interested in. Here are some guiding questions we might keep in mind as we read and respond--feel free to add your own.
- Is a true cataloging cooperative possible under capitalism?
- Considering the reach of OCLC's power and products--could we do interlibrary loan without them?--what are strategies libraries and librarians can use to resist them?
- What can open access movements teach us about how to approach OCLC today?
Some notes from Policy for Use and Transfer of WorldCat Records: A Moderated Discussion
Please note that these are my personal notes and not verbatim.
Karen Calhoun – VP of OCLC WorldCat and Metadata Services
Moderated by Robert Wolven (from Columbia University Libraries)
This discussion/question & answer session was video-taped and will probably be made available to all NyLink member libraries.
Overview by Karen Calhoun
OCLC hasn't updated its policies since 1987
- with the Guidelines
- update on current process –
- policy created by their board [she says that it wasn't just OCLC people, but it was their board so wouldn't that mean it was their people since it was people they chose to be on their board?]
- policy implementation has been delayed until the third or fourth quarter of this calendar year
- review board has been created to review the policy and discuss policy with community
Expand record sharing
- member and non-members
- archives and museum
Revised Policy to address
- commercial and non-member sources using/copying member records
- via z39.50
- she calls them 'attacks'
See FAQs for more information about questions already asked
- will be considered part of the policy
- some of the questions asked during our session may end up here for future reference
- adds non commercial sharing or archival & museum records
- framed as legal document when the first document (the Guidelines) were not
- is about reaching agreement with outside organizations that are not members of the cooperative and a fair return for the coop as a whole fair return
- new – enhanced content
- cataloging partners – vendors
- search engines
- the records belong to the member that contributes them & OCLC
- to OCLC if you paid for a record to be exported to your library's catalog (copy cat.) your library does not actually own that record, it belongs to OCLC
- pool analogy here
Data sharing environment
- everyone has right policies (this is OCLC's stab at 'everyone else is doing it')
- degree of rights policy usually related to financial viability
[here the speaker becomes a little condescending]
my questions – is OCLC a business? Does OCLC rely on content/data to make money? How are they still a non-profit?
Data sharing environment, continued
- reduce operations costs
- data creation, management
- resource sharing & public services
- enable exposure of library data
- more traffic to libraries from popular websites [like Google Books – she brings this up all afternoon]

Discussion between librarians and Karen Calhoun, moderated by Bob Wolven
Parts of the discussion – Bob was trying to keep us on track
- What is the need for the policy?
- If there is a policy, what should it be?
- What about process?
What is the need for the policy?
Z39.50 – don't you have control over who accesses your database and can't you just approach the issue with those that 'attached' you?
- yes, they can deny access to non-authorized users and they have approached those that 'attacked them'
- between libraries and non-commercial use the use of z39.50 is ok
Price – dropping per use of cataloging transaction
- changes depending on location/geography
Identified companies that were harvesting records – but cutting off all commercial users?
- OCLC has partner agreements with vendors
- Specifies guidelines but those superceded by these agreements
Once customer uploads record to OCLC for customer…
- that record belongs to OCLC and OCLC 'membership' or 'coop' not vendor
- [so the general rules of OCLC record ownership doesn't appear to apply to vendors? Or those records are counted as belonging to the member institution? Either way taking the vendor out of the equation]
legal document?
- yes for provisions for what happens if you violate
- also for negotiations with Google's of the world
- isn't about libraries, about people outside of the coop that want to use member records
- more like a contract
WorldCat API – developers
- want to encourage this
- OCLC is developing this more in the international community right now – with other union catalogs
- Strongly endorsed by OCLC for future development
Harvest set available
- free of charge but have terms & conditions required
Policy ended up being more about control than openness – and hopefully review board will push more towards openness
- need to integrate services
If you want to use these records you have to reach an agreement with OCLC to contribute (give back to), etc to the coop.
If there is a policy, what should it be?
Basically, if a vendor/library share – its ok, but its NOT ok if they (vendor) retains our records and later uses them for profit.
No connection between policy and cost.
Algorithms add value to the records
- therefore OCLC copyrighted the entire database
- 'curatorial role'
- [most of these are added values aren't actually passed on the members after the record has been exported to the local ILS, because the record isn't updated by OCLC ever – only if its done by an outside vendor]
Records created or purchased by the library are not covered by the policy
- original records are not included
- ownership rules come from existing Guidelines
If you are going to share your records with an institution that would sell them to others
- not ok, without an agreement with OCLC
- basically, if OCLC is loosing money, etc. from your relationship with someone else – then you have a problem and an agreement needs to be negotiated
Seems like they are trying to ensure their place outside and within the library community – vendor lock.
OCLC's idea of adding value is subjective, because there are some libraries that have closed collections and don't want their information shared with outside 'Google –like services'
- there are opt-out settings/options for each member, so if they don't want their information contributed it doesn't have to be, but it is considered a service to the larger coop even if everyone doesn't consider it that way
What can OCLC do with unique data?
- use records to support coop
- allow others to process/edit data
What about process?
This is never really discussed – and really number 2 is really just wishful thinking on Bob's part. The entire moderated discussion is mostly just question and answer, and every now and then people throw out their ideas for why this is good or why it isn't, etc. etc.

'Mugabe chicken' pop group Freshlyground banned
A south african pop group known for its World Cup collaboration with Shakira has been barred from Zimbabwe after releasing a video depicting Robert Mugabe as a chicken.
Zolani Mahola, Freshlyground's singer, said the band was informed that permits for concerts next month had been revoked. Mahola said no reason was given, but she believes it was because of the "Chicken to Change" video the band released earlier this month. Ridiculing the President is illegal in Zimbabwe.

A subdural hematoma is a collection of blood on the surface of the brain.
Subdural hemorrhage
Subdural hematomas are usually the result of a serious head injury. When one occurs in this way, it is called an "acute" subdural hematoma. Acute subdural hematomas are among the deadliest of all head injuries. The bleeding fills the brain area very rapidly, compressing brain tissue. This often results in brain injury and may lead to death.
Subdural hematomas can also occur after a very minor head injury, especially in the elderly. These may go unnoticed for many days to weeks, and are called "chronic" subdural hematomas. With any subdural hematoma, tiny veins between the surface of the brain and its outer covering (the dura) stretch and tear, allowing blood to collect. In the elderly, the veins are often already stretched because of brain atrophy (shrinkage) and are more easily injured.
Some subdural hematomas occur without cause (spontaneously).
The following increase your risk for a subdural hematoma:
In infants:
Always get medical help after a head injury. Older persons should receive medical care if they shows signs of memory problems or mental decline, even if you do not think they have had an injury. An exam should include a complete neurologic exam.
Your doctor may order a brain imaging study if you have any of the following symptoms:
A CT scan or MRI scan likely would be done to evaluate for the presence of a subdural hematoma.
A subdural hematoma is an emergency condition.
Emergency surgery may be needed to reduce pressure within the brain. This may involve drilling a small hole in the skull, which allows blood to drain and relieves pressure on the brain. Large hematomas or solid blood clots may need to be removed through a procedure called a craniotomy , which creates a larger opening in the skull.
Medicines used to treat a subdural hematoma depend on the type of subdural hematoma, the severity of symptoms, and how much brain damage has occurred. Diuretics and corticosteroids may be used to reduce swelling. Anticonvulsion medications, such as phenytoin, may be used to control or prevent seizures.
The outlook following a subdural hematoma varies widely depending on the type and location of head injury, the size of the blood collection, and how quickly treatment is obtained.
Acute subdural hematomas present the greatest challenge, with high rates of death and injury. Subacute and chronic subdural hematomas have better outcomes in most cases, with symptoms often going away after the blood collection is drained. A period of rehabilitation is sometimes needed to assist the person back to his or her usual level of functioning.
There is a high frequency of seizures following a subdural hematoma, even after drainage, but these are usually well controlled with medication. Seizures may occur at the time the hematoma forms, or up to months or years afterward.
A subdural hematoma requires emergency medical attention. Call 911 or your local emergency number, or go immediately to an emergency room after a head injury.
Spinal injuries often occur with head injuries, so try to keep the person's neck still if you must move him or her before help arrives.
Always use safety equipment at work and play to reduce your risk of a head injury. For example, use hard hats, bicycle or motorcycle helmets, and seat belts. Older individuals should be particularly careful to avoid falls.

quote:Hopefully Jay Roth can finally get that ring after 18 yrs on the job... Would be an embarrassment if Crutch can do it again in significantly less time
quote:put Rummel in 4A and they would for sure.
quote:Rummel only has 90 more students than St Aug does.
quote:on another note, why would Aug even want to credit that onsides kick? everyone stopped. My god. Talk about cheap.
quote:Rummel has a great chance of running the table in the regular season and making a playoff run in 5A.
quote:Maybe because the ball was still consider live.
quote:Like they did before
quote:why did all the St Aug players stop?
quote:Roth has never coached Rummel in 4A.
quote:Oh, you mean Roth would have defeated teams he was afraid to schedule... Give me a break... I would still credit him as being a good coach though... Now is his time to get it done while other squads are reloading...
quote:One of the players was smart enough to pick it up after realizing the play was never called dead...
quote:you think rummel is afraid to schedule Karr and Salmen?
quote:Rummel played Karr 3-4 years ago and beat them.
quote:Jay Roth is 15-2 all time vs St Aug by the way.
quote:good coach".....who wins 80% of his games.
quote:yea, 10 seconds later. It was clear everyone heard a whistle and stopped. I guess Aug was desperate enough to argue that was truly a td
quote:gotta take what you can get when your blue chip RB has 6 yards at halftime
quote:HAHAHHAH the fact that the onside kick is being talked about so much when both teams stopped running because a whistle was obviously blown is too funny..... Aug always has something to blame a loss on whether it be not having a kicker, coach, or getting screwed by the ref. Its actually kinda pathetic
quote:You really think Karr could beat rummel after what they did to st aug?
quote:Y'all gained 100+ yards after the game was well in hand. Congrats.
quote:Honestly y'all thought Aug was awesome, no telling how much you're overrating Karr
quote:i listened to the whole game on the radio...garbage yards
quote: RUMMELL VS ST AUG Could have sworn 504 Soulja asked to see the highlights... quote: Also, the fake punt called back was the right call. We ran the same play in '10 playoffs against Ouachita... The refs must have missed that one

quote: Herb Tyler's son
quote:50. Newman
quote:whats the back story on him? any good?
quote:Tyler, though just a sophomore, put together a season at Newman rivaled by only one other Greenie quarterback, Peyton Manning. The 5-9, 165-pound son of former LSU quarterback Herb Tyler accounted for 3,097 yards and 45 touchdowns with his passing and running in 8½ games while driving the Greenies to a state playoff berth and 5-5 record. Despite missing 1½ games because of an ankle sprain, the Greenies' dual-threat quarterback completed 224 of 307 passes (73 percent) for 2,549 yards and 36 touchdowns with just six interceptions in his first full season as a starter. He also rushed for 548 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 6.5 yards on 84 carries. The 45 combined touchdowns eclipsed the previous school record of 44 set by Manning in 1993. Tyler also established single-game game records for passing yards (470), touchdown passes (six), completions (40), attempts (60), total yards (622) and total touchdowns (nine). Tyler came within 154 yards of equaling Manning's 1993 season passing yardage record of 2,703.

- Excessive exercise
- Improper technique while playing sports
- Lifting heavy objects
- Sharply twisting the body
Risk Factors
These factors increase your chance of developing abdominal muscle strain:
- Improper technique during sports activities, especially running and jumping
- Previous strain or injury to the area
- Muscle fatigue
- Tight abdominal muscles
Symptoms may include:
- Muscle pain or soreness immediately after an injury
- Stiffness and discomfort
- Problems flexing or pain while stretching the muscle
- Pain when touching the area
- Muscle spasms
- Swelling or bruising
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Muscle strains are graded according to their severity:
- Grade 1—Some stretching with micro tearing of muscle fibers.
- Grade 2—Partial tearing of muscle fibers.
- Grade 3—Complete tearing of muscle fibers. This may also be called a rupture or avulsion.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Recovery time ranges depending on the grade of your injury. Treatment steps may include:
Acute Care
Your muscle will need time to heal. Avoid activities that place extra stress on these muscles:
- Do not do activities that cause pain. This includes running, jumping, and weight lifting using the abdominal muscles.
- Do not play sports until your doctor has said it is safe to do so.
Apply an ice or a cold pack to the area for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for several days after the injury. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel.
To manage pain, your doctor may recommend:
- Over-the-counter medication, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen
- Topical creams or patches that are applied to the skin
- Prescription pain relievers
Recovery Steps
Use heat only when you are returning to physical activity. Heat may then be used before stretching or getting ready to play sports to help loosen the muscle.
When the acute pain is gone, start gentle stretching as recommended. Stay within pain limits. Hold each stretch for about 10 seconds and repeat six times. Stretch several times a day.
Begin strengthening exercises for your muscles as recommended.
To help reduce your chance of getting another abdominal muscle strain, take the following steps:
- Do not overexert yourself while exercising
- Get proper training for sports and exercises
- Do exercises to strengthen your abdominal muscles
- Learn how to properly lift heavy objects.
- If you are tired, stop exercising

Glass Infuser Dispenser
Works well
I had read the reviews and knew what to expect. I am pleased with the performance so far. I recommend tightening the spout before using (I didn't and had a bit of a waterfall).
December 12, 2013
Good value for infusing dispenser
I bought this in the store and (considering the price) was not surprised by the plastic lid, dispenser, and infusing center part. The dispenser may be removed and cleaned. All parts fit and work properly. I had no problem attaching infuser to lid as a previous reviewer mentioned. The larger glass portion is made of a heavy glass and looks very nice when in use. I infused hibiscus flowers first and am very happy with the results!

Junk that leaks
During the first attempted use this thing leaked... bad. How hard is it to build one of these with a good solid seal around the spigot? Apparently pretty hard. Don't buy this one, try something else because this is going to make a mess. This is going back to the store.
January 10, 2014
Don't waste your money!
I bought this dispenser with high hopes of using it for infused water without all the messy sediment of fruit and cucumbers floating around in a pitcher. Boy, was I wrong! it arrived today and it's a piece of junk. First off the lid is cheaply made and has rough, sharp edges on it. On top of that, it doesn't even fit on right! The infuser in the middle (which I thought AND was hoping was glass) is cheaply made plastic and because it doesn't screw in right to the lid, it sits at an angle and not straight like the picture shows! The spigot is also very cheap plastic and flimsy and the paint already started chipping off of it and I haven't even used it yet! WASTE OF MONEY and don't even bother with this! I am on the hunt for a better quality infuser dispenser and this one is going back to the store!

Tool Upgrade Adds Direct Verilog Support; Collaboration with Mentor Graphics Streamlines Verification Process and Enhances Model-Based Design
NATICK, Mass. – July 24, 2006 – The MathWorks today announced the availability of Link for ModelSim® 2, which enhances the use of Model-Based Design for hardware verification by offering full Verilog and VHDL support. Link for ModelSim enables users to efficiently verify RTL-level models from within MATLAB® and Simulink® and provides a bidirectional link to the Mentor Graphics® ModelSim HDL simulator. Additionally, Link for ModelSim now allows product engineering teams to integrate algorithm and system design with hardware implementation using their language of choice, eliminating the errors and time associated with manual methods by automating the verification process.
Link for ModelSim is a co-simulation interface that integrates MathWorks products into the hardware design flow for FPGA, ASIC, and SoC development. Using Link for ModelSim, designers benefit from system-level verification, software test benching, component modeling, and analysis capabilities. By adding HDL to the simultaneous, direct, mixed-language capabilities of MATLAB and Simulink, Link for ModelSim enables continuous test and verification, a core element of Model-Based Design.
"With direct support for the Verilog HDL now available, this will add to the rapid and accelerated adoption of Link for ModelSim," said Dennis Brophy, director of strategic business development, Mentor Graphics Corporation. "It addresses a critical pain in the hardware verification flow. Now all designers using VHDL, Verilog, and mixed-HDL can benefit from Model-Based Design."
Using Model-Based Design and Link for ModelSim, users can streamline the verification process by developing an executable specification, automatically generating code, and performing hardware co-simulation throughout the development process. Thus, errors are found earlier, when they are easier and less costly to fix.
Link for ModelSim also brings increased capabilities to its users. Now engineers can exploit the MATLAB component capability to re-use MATLAB code in hardware simulations when HDL blocks have not yet been coded. At the same time, users can continue to use MATLAB as a test bench to verify HDL implementation of signal processing and other algorithms.
"Link for ModelSim brings together system models and hardware component verification through Model-Based Design," said Ken Karnofsky, director of marketing, signal processing and communications, The MathWorks. "Now, more users can reduce development time and errors by practicing continuous verification throughout the system and hardware development process."
Pricing and Availability
Link for ModelSim 2 is available immediately for Microsoft Windows, UNIX/Linux, and Macintosh platforms. Commercial US list prices start at $2,000. For further information, please visit the product Web site, www.mathworks.com/products/modelsim/.

In meditation you connect with the bigger part of you, your Higher Self and can receive inspiration as to what is in your best interest. By taking time to get in close connection with yourself you truly can make huge shifts and changes that will lead you in the direction of feeling good. Knowing that you can achieve anything you set your mind on.
cool…I am so glad I was introduced to Linda in the summer of 2014. I have taken 3 of her meditation courses since and they not only have given me clarity to where I am in my life now, but also showed me ways to navigate my life into the desired future I wish to create. The meditations really help me to tap into my intuition and wisdom. Linda's voice and energy are so soothing and peaceful and she truly cares about her students and their success. I feel very loved and safe in her classes and workshops. I also recently had a Gate energy session with her that has completely shifted my energy from a mind of non-possibility and fear to being open and ready for the abundance and love in my life. Thank you Linda for your presence and loving spirit. I'm looking forward to continuing my spiritual journey under your guidance. Love, Masci

Megaffins lead Monarchs into 3A regional
By KLINT SPILLER
Son of Karla Spiller
Ever since his younger brother joined the Thomas More Prep-Marian boys' golf team in 2012, senior Kade Megaffin said his mentality has changed.
It's not so much that he feels like he needs to nurture his brother or has to serve as a tutor or protector.
Megaffin said he knew he had to try harder because he couldn't stand the idea of losing to Max, now a sophomore.
You see, there's a bit of a sibling rivalry in the Megaffin household between Kade and Max.
"We get mad at each other a lot," Kade said. "We are fighting all the time."
And even when they are on the golf course competing on the same team, that rivalry doesn't end.
Max recalled a practice round with his elder brother this summer. Max knocked in a putt for the win on the 18th green, and Kade grabbed the ball and chucked it into the water.
"I was very much irritated," Max said. "I made him buy me a new sleeve of balls. I brought it to the parents, because he wasn't going to do it. Golf balls are expensive. They are like $4 a piece."
Kade made sure to point that was one of just two times he lost to Max that summer.
"We played tons," Kade said. "Too many times to count, but you can count the two times he beat me."
"I think it was three," Max quickly countered.
"Sure, I'll give him three, just because I got it the rest of the time," Kade said with a smile.
That rivalry has helped TMP this spring.
TMP will compete Monday at Cimarron Golf Course at the Class 3A regional golf tournament. Tee off is 9 a.m.
The top two teams plus the next five lowest individual scores not on a qualifying team will earn the right to compete at the state tournament.
If the Monarchs have a shot at making state, the Megaffin brothers likely will have played a significant part in it.
Kade and Max Megaffin are two of TMP's top-three golfers along with freshman Hayden Rohr.
"I know Max is always looking to beat his older brother," said TMP coach Bryan VonFeldt. "That's been his driving force over the last year or two, but I don't think Kade is going to let him beat him, at least not easily."
That sibling rivalry has made the team better, VonFeldt said.
"When they are pushing each other, it helps," he said.
"It keeps the drive up, keeps them out here practicing and gives them a little extra motivation to go out there and play well."
Siblings in golf is pretty common.
Besides the Megaffins, the Ihrig brothers and Jones brothers have dominated the golf scene in Goodland in recent years, and the Brown brothers have had a successful year at Oberlin.
"Golf is such a tough sport to pick up and be good at it within a year or two," VonFeldt said. "You almost need your family to be golf oriented or have your folks play golf so you are out there when you are 10, 11, 12 years old. Otherwise, it's difficult to pick it up and be good at it. "
Though the Megaffin brothers bicker like many siblings do, Kade said he's glad he gets to spend extra time with his brother. With Kade and Max two years apart, they each have their own groups of friends, so golf is a time when they can hang around each other more.
"Especially now that I'm a senior and getting ready to go to college, it's nice to spend a little more time with him, even though he would definitely never admit it," Kade said.

Bio-diverse gardens are wonderful for your landscape environment. Think of them as gardens that act like nature and promote a healthy environment. A bio-diverse garden supports a wide variety of life, from plants and animals, to insects and beneficial pollinators. They are ecosystems that contribute to the health of our world, and there are practical reasons why you should think about diversity. For one, seeding a garden with a wide variety of plants is critical to its own resiliency. Two, hundreds of species of native plants will not survive the 21st century unless we include them in our gardens today.

(CNN) — As House Republicans convene this week to discuss their next steps on immigration reform, former President George W. Bush underscored the importance of fixing a "broken system." While noting the political controversy surrounding the bill, he said immigration reform "has a chance to pass."
"It's a very difficult bill to pass because there are a lot of moving parts, and the legislative process can be ugly, but it looks like they are making some progress," Bush told ABC in an interview taped in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Bush has been in Zambia to help renovate a clinic that serves as a cervical cancer screening and treatment center.
Asked if it will hurt the GOP if Republicans fail to pass the bill, Bush said, "The reason to pass immigration reform is not to bolster a Republican Party, it's to fix a system that's broken."
"Good policy yields good politics as far as I'm concerned."
Bush will deliver a speech on immigration at his presidential library in Dallas at an event titled "What Immigrants Contribute" on Wednesday, the same day House Republicans will meet to discuss their next steps on the issue.
Bush was also asked whether his views have evolved on same-sex marriage in light of recent Supreme Court decisions, but insisted he's "not going to wade back into those kinds of issues."
"I'm out of politics. The only way I can really make news is either criticize the president, which I don't want to do; criticize my own party; or wade in on a controversial issue," Bush said.
The former president met with President Barack Obama in Tanzania on Tuesday before the interview to talk about the Emergency Program for AIDS Relief, a program started by Bush during his first term. The two attended a wreath-laying ceremony commemorating the 1998 U.S. Embassy attack in Dar es Salaam, which killed 11 people, wounding hundreds. On the same day, a separate blast at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, killed more than 200 people and wounded close to 5,000.
Bush said when he spoke to Obama, he reminisced about similar, long trips during his own presidency.
"I remember how tired I used to get, and I said, 'You've got to be kind of worn out.' He said, well, he's had a great trip, looking forward to getting back home."
"And I asked him about his little girls -- were they having a good time? He said, 'You bet,'" Bush said of Obama's daughters, Sasha and Malia, who accompanied first lady Michelle Obama and the president on the trip.
"I remember bringing our daughters on some of these trips, and how meaningful it was to be with them," Bush said, adding that there was no talk of policy.

Powered by the iconic voice of Matt Berninger, The National have established themselves as one of the most recognizable bands in the indie scene. For more than a decade, the Cincinnati natives have helped shape the indie rock world, and today The National tickets offer music fans the chance to see a truly impressive live show. The origins of The National can be traced back to the early 1990s, when Berninger met fellow bandmate Scott Devendorf. Throughout the rest of the decade, they cultivated the band's sound while adding three new members, and eventually the group released its self-titled debut in 2001. While it was a critical favorite, the record did not attract much attention, but that would soon change. The National released Alligator, their third album, in 2005 and it proved to be their big breakthrough. The album featured a number of hits, including "Karen" and "Secret Meeting," and helped set the stage for the follow-up, Boxer, which is recognized as one of the best albums of the 2000s. Today, The National are both critical and commercial favorites and enjoy an ever-growing fan base. Whether they're playing at festivals or alongside acts such as Dirty Projectors, The National are surely a band on the rise.

Christina S. Chu, MD
Ultima Vez Modificado: 21 de abril del 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Have you or any of your colleagues used Gemzar in the treatment of ovarian cancer? I would like to know of any stats on the success of this chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Gemcitabine (brand name Gemzar®) is generally used as a second-line treatment for recurrent or persistent ovarian cancer. In general, the rate of response to this chemotherapy is about 15-20%. This means that 15-20% of patients with recurrent or persistent disease will have shrinkage of their tumor after treatment with gemcitabine.
Oct 18, 2013 - For patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, treatment with albumin-bound paclitaxel plus gemcitabine is more effective than gemcitabine alone, according to a study published online Oct. 16 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian people live in urban and rural settings spread across North America. These groups have widely different geographies, cultures, and languages. These groups are America's indigenous, or original, people. While each group has its own beliefs, customs, and ceremonies, they also have much in common, including a great respect for the values of family, sharing, and cooperation. Native groups also share similar problems affecting their health, their environments, and their communities. While most Native people do not have a drinking issue, alcohol abuse is a significant public health problem in some Native communities.
Native groups have always shared a sophisticated understanding of the natural world. This understanding has led to advances in agriculture, astronomy, medicine, and many other areas. When Europeans came to colonize North America, they brought 10 plant-based medicines with them. At that time, there were more than 170 plant-based medicines used by Native tribes.1 Some of these plants had powerful psychoactive properties that were probably used for medicine and in ceremonies.
Historians and other researchers have looked back into Native histories to find the point at which problems with alcohol may have begun to arise. Some early Native cultures used fermented beverages in ceremonies. Typically, there were controls in place that prohibited or minimized exposure–especially to children and women of childbearing age. Many Native groups made and drank wines as an important source of hydration in places where water was either scarce or contaminated. These wines were generally low in alcoholic content–between three and four percent–and had significant nutritional value.2
Alcohol use may have shifted from controlled ceremonial and medicinal use to more general use at about the time that Native cultures were exposed to European and Asian explorers, traders, missionaries, and colonists. In Alaska, new settlers exploited mineral and animal resources and took the profits with them. Foreigners also entered the homelands of American Indians and Native Hawaiians, bringing diseases, alcohol, and firearms. Early settlers not only exposed Native cultures to different forms of alcohol, but they also introduced patterns of heavy drinking, which was even more damaging. As communities and tribes came under physical and cultural assault and became decimated by disease, alcohol problems began to emerge in tribes for the first time.1
Early records show a pattern of distrust of and distaste for European alcohol among American Indian tribes. European alcohol was referred to as "fool's water" and "devil's spittle." There are also records of very early formal treatment of alcohol abuse; including sweat lodges, talking circles, and plant-based anti-craving medicines. Many tribes today are having success treating alcoholism using these same techniques.1
Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians are also looking to their traditional roots to develop treatment programs that emphasize the strengths of their cultures. Many Alaskan programs stress the importance of families in the recovery process and include practices such as the steam bath, which is the Alaska Native version of the sweat lodge. In Hawaii, a treatment program teaches Native clients about their ancestors, history, and culture to help them see that they are connected to something larger than themselves. The name of the program is Ho`omau Ke Ola, which is Hawaiian for "to perpetuate life as it was meant to be."
The FASD Center is committed to increasing awareness about alcohol use and FASD. By doing so, we hope to help Native communities work to share information, promote healing, and create positive futures for generations to come.

Catecholamines are chemicals made by nerve tissue (including the brain) and the adrenal gland.
The main types of catecholamines are dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. These chemicals break down into other components, which leave your body through your urine.
A urine test can be done to measure the level of catecholamines in your body. Separate urine tests may be done to measure related substances.
Catecholamines can also be measured with a blood test .
Dopamine-urine test; Epinephrine-urine test; Adrenalin-urine test; Urine metanephrine; Normetanephrine; Norepinephrine-urine test; Urine catecholamines; VMA; HVA; Metanephrine; Homovanillic acid (HVA)
For this test, you must urinate into a special bag or container every time you use the bathroom for 24-hour period.
For an infant:
Thoroughly wash the area around the urethra (the hole where urine flows out). Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end).
Check the infant often, and change the bag after the infant has urinated. Empty the urine from the bag into the container provided by your doctor.
Active babies can move the bag, causing the urine to go into the diaper. You may need extra collection bags.
When finished, label the container and return it as you have been told.
Stress and heavy exercise may affect the test results.
Some foods can increase catacholamines in your urine. You may need to avoid the follow foods for several days before the test:
Many medicines can interfere with test results.
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
The test is usually done to diagnose an adrenal gland tumor called pheochromocytoma . It may also be used to diagnose neuroblastoma . Urine catecholamine levels are increased in most persons with neuroblastoma.
The urine test for catecholamines may also be used to monitor those who are receiving treatment for these conditions.
All of the catecholamines are broken down into inactive substances that appear in the urine:
The following normal values are the amount of the substance found in the urine over a 24-hour period:
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Elevated levels of urinary catecholamines may indicate:
The test may also be performed for:
There are no risks.
Several foods and drugs, as well as physical activity and stress, can affect the accuracy of this test.

And now, the reason you're REALLY here. The Giveaway Winner announced HERE.
30 comments:
I would be sad if you quit blogging. I try to keep it real on my blog--but then I think, do people really want to hear how I spilled an entire jar of peppercorns while making soup this week, and then the next day through out some of the broth because it had gelatinized more than normal and I thought it was fat? Ha! I figure people undo their seams as often as I do, and then try to just appreciate all of the beautiful things on blogs. But I hear you on that one.
ReplyDeleteI think we all feel like you do...especially if we aren't professional photographers, and our pics look sort of slopppy, the lighting isn't right, or we aren't as funny as we'd like to be. But it is so much fun seeing what you are working on...and I don't think anyone expects a response to their comments ;-D Keep it up...
ReplyDelete- AnonymousOctober 10, 2010 at 6:15 PM
I love your blog and look forward to each new post. Your work is very inspiring, especially to a new quilter like me. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete Really, I would like to say "thank you" to you for inspiring me. I have been looking at everyone else's blog for 2 years now and it's because of you (and lots of other wonderful women) that I decided to start my own blog. My hope is give a little back (either to all of you pros out there or to the newbies). Keep up the great work and don't ever be afraid to pat yourself on the back every once in a while...YOU DESRVE IT! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteamy, I don't know you personally, but I feel like I do. Been reading your blog now for several months. I have it up on my sidebar! I think you are one of the most amazing teachers and your eye for color is truly a gift. I drool over what you put together. Thank you for sharing your talents!
ReplyDeleteEvery once in a while I am really intimidated by some of the great quilting that is done by others. But then I have a day like today. Finished quilting a quilt and I am doing so much better than I was and I am not ashamed of what I can do. So even though I will probably never be an "excellent" quilter, I really like what I am doing.
ReplyDeletei'll add my appreciation as well. i've made several of the diaper clutches and nursing covers, and am following your advice religiously on the quilt-along series. it's perfect timing and i'm so grateful for your online quilting class. but we most definitely want you and your family to eat and have time together. :) thanks for your expertise!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! I've been following you for a while, but this is my first time leaving a comment. Like you, I have a pretty full life... full-time job, 6 kids, husband and two houses! I enjoy reading your posts as well as the others I follow because I'm the only person around me who sews or quilts so these blogs are my personal inspiration, or "guild" if you will! :-)
ReplyDeleteWho's to say one blog is better than another? That's why we're all different; different blogs appeal to different people. I used to follow ALOT of quilting blogs, but I don't feel the need to anymore. I've pared it down to the three I found most inspiring and yours is one of them. Nothing wrong with the other ones, and I'm sure they still post beautiful quilts and maybe I'll visit them from time to time, but they were no longer ones I wanted to keep on top of. I hope you keep up the posting!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What do I tell my daughters about prevention of HPV infection? Is abstinence the only answer?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
About 70-80% of women have been exposed to HPV. There are even studies documenting HPV exposure in very young girls--possibly through perinatal transmission (from mother to baby). Aside from penile-vaginal intercourse, exposure can occur from touching and rubbing. Abstinence, avoidance of sexual contact, and condom usage are probably among the best ways to prevent and decrease risk of HPV transmission.
Another very important way to prevent HPV infection is getting the Gardasil vaccine. This vaccine has been shown to be very effective at preventing infection from 4 types of HPV--2 of which cause 70% of the cervical cancer cases in this country.
