More medical terms |
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z abdominal distention: increase in size or change in contour of the abdomen. abdominal hysterectomy: removal of the uterus through an incision in the abdominal wall. adenomyoma: a tumor made up of endometrium and muscle tissue, found in the uterus. adenomyosis: is invasion of the muscular wall of the uterus by glandular tissue (uterine lining cells). Adenomyosis is also referred to as internal endometriosis since both consist of endometrium in abnormal locations. Adenomyosis can form collections (adenomyomas) in the muscle of the uterus indistinguishable from fibroids. adhesion: Scar tissue that abnormally joins organs to each other. adnexal structures (uterine)*: includes the fallopian tubes and ovaries. anemia: a condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total volume. angiography suite (uterine fibroids): is a room where Uterine Artery Embolization is performed; watching under X-ray a Interventional Radiologist maneuvers the catheter into the main arteries supplying the uterus and injects small plastic particles to plug up the blood vessels supplying the fibroids. X-ray dye is injected through the catheter to show the vessels during this process. anterior*: situated at or directed toward the front of the body. asoprisnil: a drug being researched for treating fibroids that blocks the action of progesterone on fibroid tissue, allowing the fibroid to shrink. asymptomatic: presenting no symptoms of disease. benign: not a cancer (noncancerous); not recurrent or tending to progress. blood clot: a semi-solidified mass of blood. blood transfusion: introduction of blood directly into the bloodstream. calcified tissue*: infarcted/dead fibroid tissue may accumulate calcium from the bloodstream over time. This will appear "bright" on an ultrasound film/image. CBC (Complete Blood Count): a blood count that includes separate counts for red and white blood cells. cervix: the narrow lower end of the uterus (neck) between the isthmus and the opening of the uterus into the vagina; this is the lowest part of the womb or uterus, and it is where a baby passes through during the birth process. constipation: abnormally delayed or infrequent passage of the bowels cryomyolysis: a probe freezes the uterine fibroid tumors. CT scan (CAT scan): a sectional, three dimensional X-ray image of the body constructed by a computer (a method of producing an image of the internal structures of a human body). cystadenoma (ovarian cyst): a benign tumor of a glandular structure (refer to 'Epithelial Cysts'). cystectomy: the surgical excision of an 'ovarian cyst'. If a cyst has a 'solid' area showing on the ultrasound results, causes severe pain, continues to grow, or doesn't go away by itself within eight (8) weeks a Gynecologist may decide to perform this outpatient Laparoscopic procedure. D&C (dilatation and curettage): a procedure where the cervix is dilated and a scraping instrument called a 'curette' is inserted into the uterus to scrape out the lining of the uterus for a biopsy and/or to remove polyps. dermoid cyst (ovarian cyst): cysts that may have inside them hair and a variety of tissues. The cyst will not go away by itself and may require surgery. emboli: particles that block the flow within a blood vessel. endometrial ablation: destruction of the lining of the uterus to prevent heavy bleeding, not to be used for women who might wish to become pregnant. endometrial biopsy: involves placing a small suction tubing through the cervix, and "vacuuming" a small amount of the endometrium (lining of the uterus) to be evaluated by a pathologist to see if pre-cancer or cancer is present. endometrioma cysts: created with tissue that is similar to the uterine lining, which becomes trapped inside the Ovary (this cyst color is red-brown and reminds you of chocolate). endometriosis: is the presence of endometrial tissue in abnormal locations; presence of endometrial glands or stroma outside the uterus. endometriosis function test: The EFT is almost a proprietary test and is not by most considered a part of the standard workup. It is similar to the quad screen normally performed in early pregnancy in that it looks at a number of markers produced in typical patterns by the normal endometrium. One then compares the various values to the actual timing in the cycle to see if the lining is developing normally. The main problem is that the test has not been adequately validated esp with the test of time. Perhaps more importantly, there's little one can do with the results. Treatment of abnormalities is almost always progesterone. Although some physicians recommend estrogen in addition, this has not been adequately shown (in my opinion) to make a significant difference. In other words, test results will not to my knowledge make any significant impact on the treatment options; ensure good stimulation (which produces the estrogen) and ensure adequate progesterone support. endometrium: the mucous membrane lining the uterus. endophytic change: tending to grow inward into tissues in fingerlike projections from a superficial site of orgin - used of tumors. epithelial cysts: created when the outer cells of the ovary accidentally get trapped inside the Ovary, which causes fluid to build-up within the ovary and an Epithelial cyst to form. Surgery is the only treatment option for this type of cyst. A cystadenoma is a common, benign type of epithelial cyst. estrogen: a female sex hormone that is produced by the ovaries. exophytic fibroid: tending to grow outward beyond the surface epithelium (a membranous cellular tissue that covers a free surface or lines a cavity) from which it originates - used of tumors. FACOG (Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology): a medical title for a gynecologist who has passed written and oral examinations and has been in good standing for two (2) years before this title is awarded. fallopian tubes: are tubes that are attached to the upper part of the uterus that serve as tunnels for the eggs to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. femoral artery: an artery in the leg which leads to the uterine artery. fibroid (uterus) - (i.e. uterine myoma, leiomyoma uteri, fibroid tumor, uterine fibroid): are benign tumors of the uterus. They are not cancers, but can cause symptoms such as excessive bleeding during or between periods, pressure on the bladder or rectum, discomfort during sexual relations or interference with fertility. (Fibroids can grow in other organs of the body - example: in the intestines.) Foley catheter: a tube that is inserted into the bladder to drain urine into a bag. It has an inflatable balloon tip to hold it in the bladder. FSIR (Fellow of the Society of Interventional Radiology): is an honor given to members of the SIR who are subspecialty board-certified in Interventional Radiology in recognition of significant contributions to the Society and the field of Interventional Radiology through teaching, research, and/or work done for the Society. functional cysts (ovarian cyst): are the most common cysts. Functional cysts are the result of an over-production of fluid around a developing egg. On ultrasound, they appear entirely clear inside and are called 'simple' cysts. However, other things can also appear this way (all benign – not cancerous). So, all functional cysts are simple appearing on ultrasound. But, not all simple cysts are functional. Functional Cysts usually dissolves within one to three menstrual cycles and very rarely needs further treatment. It is rare for a menopausal woman to have this type of cyst since they are caused by the formation of eggs for the menstrual cycle. fundus: the rounded end of the uterus remote from its junction with the cervix; top of the uterus. gelatin sponge: is a material that has been used for many years in surgery to help stop bleeding. GI (gastrointestinal tract): the stomach and intestine as a functional unit. GnRHa (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone Analogues): the GnRH analogues are used to create a false menopause by switching off hormones from the brain that stimulate the ovaries to produce the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, causing the hormone production to stop. The advantage of these drugs is that they stop heavy bleeding and, in most women a reduction of size of fibroid tumors by as much as forty to sixty percent after three months of use. HCT (hematocrit): is the amount of blood that is occupied by red blood cells. A low hematocrit number is a good indicator of anemia. hemorrhagic cysts: have blood and blood clots inside of them, which usually dissolves after several weeks.
HRT (hormone replacement therapy): is medication containing one or more female hormones, commonly estrogen plus progestin (synthetic progesterone). For women who had a hysterectomy (uterus removed) estrogen only therapy may be prescribed. The medication can be administered by using a pill, vaginal cream, vaginal ring or a patch. The therapy helps relieve some of the symptoms from menopause (sleep disorder, mood swings, lack of sexual desire, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness). hyaline degeneration: is a fancy term for 'scar' formation (tissue degeneration), which happens naturally to fibroids after menopause. hyperplasia (uterine lining overgrowth): increase of volume of a tissue or organ caused by the formation and growth of new cells. hysterectomy: is the removal of the uterus. hysterosalpingogram: examination of the uterus and fallopian tubes by X-ray after injection of a contrast medium (i.e. uterosalpingography). hysteroscopic resection: an instrument is put into the uterus (hysteroscope) to surgically remove fibroids or polyps. hysteroscopy: a small device, hysteroscope, is inserted through the vagina and into the uterus to inspect the uterus. hysterosonography (i.e. sonohysterogram): is a relatively new procedure and way of performing pelvic ultrasound. The essence of the study is that sterile saline distending the endometrial cavity significantly improves the clarity of transvaginal ultrasound assessment of endometrial abnormalities.
proliferative-type endometrium with breakdown infarcted tissue: tissue that is dead (i.e. process that happens to the fibroid tissue after uterine artery embolization is performed on uterine fibroids). inferior*: situated in a lower position. interligamentous fibroid: it can grow sideways between the layers of the broad ligament (a band of fibrous connective tissue that supports the uterus). Interventional Radiologist: a doctor that is trained to perform radiologist and surgical procedures by using x-ray imaging during a procedure. intramural fibroids: they stay mostly embedded within the middle of the wall of the uterus. laparoscopic: a procedure where a doctor inserts a small telescope, laparoscope, through an incision in the abdomen to inspect the outside of the uterus, tubes, ovaries or other abdominal organs. laparoscopic hysterectomy: a small telescope (laparoscope) is placed through the belly button, and several other tiny incisions are made to place other instruments. These instruments are used to free the uterus. laparotomy (i.e. abdominal myomectomy): a surgical procedure to cut fibroids out of the wall of the uterus. The defects in the uterine wall are then closed with suture. This is the procedure that is usually chosen by women who want to preserve fertility and/or preserve their uterus. LAVH (laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy): hysterectomy performed using a laparoscope for part of the surgery and the remainder of the procedure is performed through the vagina. lobulated*: made up of, provided with, or divided into lobules (tumors)
LUS (lower uterine segment): is located at the neck (bottom part) of the uterus. malignant: a term for 'cancer'.
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): is a highly sensitive, very useful method for taking pictures of various parts of the human anatomy. Its major advantages include that it does not use radiation as does an x-ray and it provides a substantial degree of detail in its pictures. MRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (FUS): is a non-invasive way to shrink fibroids by focusing (using MRI) ultrasound energy (as heat) on a fibroid. myomacoagulation: is a laparoscopic procedure using electric current that is applied to the uterine fibroid tumors. The current coagulates the blood vessels supplying the fibroids and, over time, they shrink. myomectomy:
nathobian cysts: they are natural structures in the cervix that are filled with fluid and very rarely need medical intervention. necrosis*: death of a portion of tissue (example: necrosis of a fibroid). neoplasm: a new growth of tissue serving no physiological function (including benign tumor, malignancy, cancer). NSAIDS: Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (i.e. Motrin). ovary: is the organ that produces female hormones and holds egg cells. There are two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. papanicolaou smear (i.e. pap smear): is a test to screen for cervical cancers, which involves staining exfoliated cells by a special technique to differentiate diseased tissue. parasitic fibroid: this fibroid attaches itself to another organ, such as the tube, the mesentery, or a loop of bowel. Its uterine stalk gradually degenerates until the fibroid is no longer a part of the uterus at all. (This fibroid is the rarest of all the types.) partial (subtotal) hysterectomy: this is another term for supra-cervical hysterectomy. patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump: is self-administered by the patient. The patient pushes the demand button to receive pain medication through the IV. pedunculated fibroid: this type of fibroid can develop when a fibroid grows on a stalk, which is called a pedicle. This can be a subserosal fibroid growing out into the abdomen or a submucosal fibroid growing into the endometrial cavity. The stalk can get twisted which can cause severe pain, although this is extremely rare. pelvic cavity: the space inside the pelvis that holds the reproductive organs. perinatologist: a specialist concerned with high-risk obstetrical care. physiologic size*: characteristic of or appropriate to an organ's health or normal functioning. polycystic ovarian disease: the follicles appear clumped together, and the Ovary does not go through its regular cycle of ovulation. The exact cause of this condition is not understood. Surgery is not necessary for this problem. polyps: are overgrowths of endometrial tissue - like a skin tag growing inside the uterus. They are usually benign, but can be a cause of abnormal bleeding. posterior*: situated toward the back/hind part of the body. proteiomics (it will have other commercial names when it is made available): a blood test that matches proteins in the blood to proteins known to occur with ovarian cancer or other cancers. PVA (poly-vinyl alcohol): some UAEs (at least in the USA) are performed using PVA particles. PVA has been used as an embolic material since the 1970s (at least), and has an excellent safety profile. quality-of-life questionnaire: a tool used by doctors to assess the effects an illness and its therapy have on a patient. Information obtained from the questionnaire is used to compute a score of the patient's view of his/her quality of life after a medical procedure. radical hysterectomy: this procedure is usually used for cervical cancer. The doctor removes the cervix, uterus, both fallopian tubes, and both ovaries. It may entail removing varying amounts of the surrounding tissues to ensure that as much of the cancer is removed as possible. The surgical method may also be different. RBC (red blood cells): count of the red blood cells that carry the oxygen to the tissues and are responsible for the red color of blood. A low RBC can indicate anemia, which can lead to fatigue. red degeneration: the uterine fibroid (tumor) degenerates and bleeds inside the tumor giving it a red appearance. This can be a very painful process. referred pain (UAE): Immediately after UAE the uterus swells and there is inflammation of the fibroids/uterus. This can irritate the nerves passing through the walls of the pelvis. Your body does not know how to respond to signals that a nerve is irritated, so it 'assigns' the irritation to the anterior and medial aspects of the thighs. This is called 'referred pain' and is fairly common after UAE. The best example of referred pain is the well-known phenomenon of a heart attack being felt as pain in the left shoulder and arm. Reproductive Endocrinologist: is a medical title for a 'Fertility Specialist'. RU-486 (Mefipristone): more commonly known as the "Abortion Pill" is a drug, which has gained notoriety primarily for its ability to produce early abortion. By blocking the action of progesterone, it causes fibroids to shrink. sarcoma: a malignant neoplasm arising in the uterine muscle wall. It can spread to neighboring tissue or by way of the bloodstream. secretory endometrium*: term use on an endometrial biopsy lab report to describe uterine lining cells that show hormonal changes that occur after ovulation. septated cyst: usually is a 'simple' cyst with a thin wall in the middle of the cyst. simple cyst (ovarian cyst): refer to 'functional cysts'. slough: is dead tissue separating from living tissue, which is a medical term often used when fibroid tissue is expelled after UAE. sonogram (i.e. ultrasound): sound waves have different velocities in tissues which differ in density and elasticity from others. This property permits the use of ultrasound in outlining the shape of various tissues and organs in the body. submucosal (or submucous) fibroid: this type is located beneath the lining of the uterus. The fibroid can develop a thin stalk or even enter the vagina. subserosal (or subserous) fibroid: this type grows towards the outside of the uterus and can press on the organs surrounding the uterus such as the bladder or rectum. supra-cervical hysterectomy: the part of the uterus above the cervix is removed. Tubes and ovaries may or may not be removed. thalassemia: the globin part of hemoglobin is made up of 4 polypeptide chains (usually 2 chains of one type and 2 chains of another type of chain). In thalassemia, there is a mutation (change) in one of the types of globin chains. Depending upon which globin chain is affected, the mutation typically leads to underproduction (or absence) of that globin chain, a deficiency of hemoglobin, and anemia. Cooley's anemia is controlled by a series of allelic genes that cause reduction in or failure of synthesis of one of the globin chains making up hemoglobin and that tend to occur especially in individuals of Mediterranean, African, or southeastern Asian ancestry. Sometimes it is used with a prefix (alpha-, beta-, delta-) to indicate the hemoglobin chain that is affected.total hysterectomy (sometimes called "simple hysterectomy"): the uterus (with the cervix) is removed. Tubes and ovaries may or may not be removed. total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy: the entire uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are removed. transdermal scopolamine patch: is put behind the ear for nausea and is kept in place for 4 more days after the uterine artery embolization (UAE) procedure. transmural fibroid: fibroid lies between several layers of the uterine wall or involving the whole thickness of a uterine wall. UAE (uterine artery embolization) (i.e. uterine fibroid embolization - UFE): one of the most effective treatments for bleeding is to stop the blood supply to the area that is bleeding by blocking the vessels from the inside, this is known as "embolization". Embolization of the arteries to the uterus has been used as a treatment for severe uterine bleeding after surgery or childbirth since at least the late 1970s, and is used as a treatment for uterine fibroids. ultrasound (i.e. transabdominal and transvaginal (pelvic) ultrasound, sonogram): in pelvic ultrasound, not only are the reflected sound waves received back, but an image is created from the various sound waves such that a picture is made of internal organs. This is very useful and accurate in diagnosing things in the pelvis and abdomen. uterine artery: the blood vessels that supplies the uterus with oxygen and nutrients. uterine artery occlusion: is an attempt to cut off the blood supply to fibroids and cause shrinkage. Laparoscopic ligation of the Uterine Arteries results in blockage of the vessels. uterine fibroid: refer to 'fibroid'. uterine fibroid degeneration: the fibroid stops growing (infarcted/dead) and shrinks in size. uterus: the womb; the muscular organ in a women's pelvis which a pregnancy grows; the organ which sheds its lining (the endometrium) each month in the process known as the menstrual period. vagina: it is a tube that joins the cervix to the outside of the body (e.g. birth canal). vaginal hysterectomy: the uterus is removed through the vagina, so an abdominal incision is not required. It may not be possible to do this with a very large uterus, or if there is other disease in the pelvis that needs to be treated. The cervix is removed during a vaginal hysterectomy. WBC (white blood cells): the count or the total number of white blood cells in blood usually stated as the number of cells in one cubic millimeter. WBC are produced by the immune system to help defend the body against infection. |

For Faculty and Staff
Resources for Working with Students with Disabilities
Swarthmore's Student Disability Service works closely with students, faculty, and staff to ensure that students with physical, medical, learning, or psychological disabilities are provided with equal access to all college programs, activities, and services in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title IX of the Federal Education Amendments of 1972. Swarthmore College welcomes students with disabilities to participate fully in all aspects of college life. Coordinator of Student Disability Services Leslie Hempling advises students about the College's policy, procedure and resources, reviews students' clinical documentation, and collaborates with students, faculty, and staff to arrange reasonable accommodations that support students' individual needs.
The Office of Student Disability Services is located in the east wing of Parrish Hall, Room 130. To reach Leslie Hempling, Coordinator of Student Disabilities Services, email her at firstname.lastname@example.com or call her at 610-690-5014. Leslie is happy to consult at any time about questions that arise concerning academic accommodations and student needs.
Website: Student Disability Service
Students with disabilities are protected from discrimination under Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (amended 2008). Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination based on disability in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.
A qualified person with a disability is a person who meets the essential eligibility requirements of the academic program or service, with or without a reasonable accommodation. Disability is defined by the ADA as "a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities, a record of such an impairment or being regarded as having such an impairment."
The Student Disability Service helps to arrange academic accommodations for a range of students each semester, including students with learning disabilities, visual impairments, hearing impairments, chronic medical conditions, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder, psychiatric/psychological disabilities, and orthopedic/mobility disorders.
Students with disabilities have a right to:
- Reasonable accommodations, appropriate academic adjustments, auxiliary aids, and services as necessary.
- Privacy with regards to disability-related information, except as disclosures required or permitted by law.
- Equal access to programs, activities, courses, and services.
Students with disabilities have the responsibility to:
- Meet all academic requirements of the College.
- Disclose their disability to the Student Disability Service as early as possible to ensure timely accommodation arrangements.
- Provide the required documentation of disability.
- Arrange meetings with their professors to discuss accommodation letters provided by the Student Disability Service.
- Follow the procedures for requesting accommodations every semester.
Rights of the College
- Establish and maintain requirements and standards for admission to the College, and for participation in its courses, programs, services, and activities.
- Request current, relevant documentation that verifies a disability and the need for reasonable accommodations.
- Determine reasonable accommodations.
- Deny a request for an accommodation if the student fails to provide current relevant information verifying a disability and need for accommodation, or the request requires a fundamental alteration of a course, program, or service.
Responsibilities of the College
- Ensure that admissions policies and procedures are implemented in a non-discriminatory manner with regard to individuals with disabilities.
- Ensure that programs, services, and activities, when viewed in their entirety, are accessible.
- Provide appropriate reasonable accommodations, academic adjustments, auxiliary aids, and services in a timely manner.
- Maintain appropriate confidentiality of disability-related information.

To help students with disabilities understand their rights and responsibilities, you are welcome to include the following statement on your course syllabus and website:
Accommodations Statement
If you believe that you need accommodations for a disability, please contact Leslie Hempling in the Office of Student Disability Service (Parrish 130) or email firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange an appointment to discuss your needs. Leslie Hempling is responsible for reviewing and approving disability-related accommodation requests. As appropriate, she will issue students with documented disabilities an Accommodation Authorization Letter. Since accommodations require early planning and are not retroactive, please contact her as soon as possible. For details about the Student Disability Service and the accommodations process, visit the website. You are also welcome to contact the faculty member privately to discuss your academic needs. However, all disability-related accommodations must be arranged through Leslie Hempling in the Office of Student Disability Service.
Each semester, the Student Disability Service works with students who have registered with our office in order to facilitate reasonable academic accommodations. Reasonable accommodations refer to modifications that provide students with disabilities equal access to college programs and activities. An accommodation is not considered reasonable if it fundamentally alters the essential elements of an academic program. Common types of accommodations include:
- Extended time on timed tests (typically 50% extended time, though some students qualify for 100% extended time).
- Note-takers; permission to audio record a class.
- Captioning of videos, sign language interpreters, CART services (real time captioning).
- Electronic books.
- Calculator use; computer use for note-taking and tests.
- Voice recognition, screen readers, and other adaptive computer software or hardware, such as Zoom Text, JAWS, Kurzweil, and Dragon Naturally Speaking.
- Scribes, readers, lab assistants, course assistants.
- Elimination of physical barriers/change of venue for a class if the scheduled room is not accessible for a student with a mobility impairment.
- Ability to leave class for short periods of time if medically necessary.
- Flexibility in class attendance if medically necessary. (*Important note: This accommodation is typically discussed and negotiated in advance in consultation with the faculty member, the department, the student, and the Student Disability Service in order to ensure that class absences do not fundamentally alter essential elements of the program.)
Student Process Each Semester: Students who are registered with the Student Disability Service submit an Academic Accommodation Request form each semester to Leslie Hempling, Coordinator of Student Disability Services. Leslie works with each student to determine reasonable accommodations. After accommodations are determined, the Student Disability Service drafts accommodation letters for students to bring to their professors. We ask students to meet with you as soon as they receive these letters in order to have ample time to discuss any specific needs. The Student Disability Service will aim to contact you well in advance of a course if we discover that a students' needs require additional preparation time (e.g., arranging scribes, lab assistants, electronic course materials, setting up captioning, etc.). At times, students may develop disability concerns during the course of the semester (e.g., injuries or other emerging concerns). We will do our best to give you as much notice as possible.
One of the most common academic accommodations is extended time on timed tests so that students with particular disabilities may have the same opportunity as their peers to demonstrate their knowledge. Some students also qualify for a "distraction-reduced" testing environment (private room or a room with few other students). The logistics for testing are typically arranged between the student and the faculty member. When students share their accommodation letters with you, we recommend that you develop a plan together as to how you will handle testing accommodations in order avoid any confusion as test dates approach.
The Student Disability Service recognizes that the logistics of proctoring extended time testing and locating a testing room (if needed) can be challenging during a busy semester, especially if you are working with several students who receive accommodations. We are pleased to pilot the following testing assistance program for faculty for 2012-2013.
Deadline to request: Thursday, April 18 (3 weeks before final exams)
Professors and Departments unable to proctor an extended time final exam may submit a request for the student to take his or her exam in group testing classrooms that will be set aside for the Student Disability Service during the final exam period. We expect to use proctors who will be trained by the Student Disability Service. We will also be able to assist in arranging some "distraction-reduced" testing rooms for students who qualify for that accommodation. Because we have limited space and proctors, we will do our best to honor all requests, but we may not be able to fulfill every request.
To request Final Exam proctoring assistance, please do the following:
1. Submit an Exam Proctor Request Form by Thursday, April 18.
2. You or your student may download the form from the Student Disability Service website. Hard copies are also in the bins next to the Student Disability Service in Parrish 130. The form will have sections for both you and the student to complete.
3. Email or deliver the form to: Ben Wilson, Administrative Assistant, Parrish 118, email@example.com.
4. The April 18 deadline is a firm deadline, so that we have enough time to review all of the requests and be able to make room and time assignments. We will respond by May 1 to confirm arrangements.
5. Questions? Contact Ben Wilson at firstname.lastname@example.com or 610-328-7351 or Leslie Hempling at email@example.com or 610-690-5014.
If you discover that you or your Department is unable to proctor a test for a student with a disability who is taking a mid-term or test during the semester, the Student Disability Service will do our best to help. Because we have limited staffing, we may not be able to meet every request, but we will do what we can to help you find solutions. In order to help us manage any requests that come in, please simply do the following:
1. Submit an Exam Proctor Request Form at least 2 weeks before a given test.
2. You or your student may download the form from the Student Disability Service website. Hard copies are also in the bins next to the Student Disability Service in Parrish 130. The form will have sections for both you and the student to fill out.
3. Email or deliver the form at least 2 weeks before the given test to: Ben Wilson, Administrative Assistant, Parrish 118, email@example.com.
4. We will respond within 48 hours to follow up.
5. Questions? Contact Ben Wilson at firstname.lastname@example.com or 610-328-7351 or Leslie Hempling at firstname.lastname@example.com or 610-690-5014.
Please see the sites below for helpful resources in making your course content accessible to all students, including those with visual impairments, reading disabilities, and hearing impairments. You will notice, for example, that it is important for PDFs to be converted to an Optical Character Recognition format (OCR), so that individuals with print disabilities can read them with screen reading software. Likewise, if you use photos and diagrams in your course materials or websites, just be sure that they are labeled so that individuals with visual disabilities can access them. If you are planning to use audios or videos in your classes, we recommend that you research them in advance to be sure that they include a captioning feature. If you have questions, please contact the ITS Help Desk at email@example.com or 610-328-4347.
Tips for Making Word Documents Accessible
Converting PDFs So That They Can Be Read by Screen Readers
Most scanned PDF documents are essentially a picture of a document. To make a PDF accessible so that an individual with a print disability can read it with screen reading software, the PDF just needs to be converted to Optical Character Recognition (OCR) format. The process is fairly easy. Please see the guidelines below.
- Scanning Documents Using the College's Canon Copiers: If you are scanning articles or text materials to place on Moodle or a course website, our Canon copiers include an OCR feature. When you scan a document, under "scan type," choose PDF (OCR). Once you do this, the document will be able to be read by a screen reader and will also be searchable. If you are scanning pages from a book, be sure the book lies as flat as possible on the scanner. Screen readers will be unable to read the document if the text is curved or contains shadows.
- Converting older PDFs using Adobe Acrobat: If you have a previously scanned PDF that is in an old image format, you can convert it to an OCR format by using the full version of Adobe Acrobat. Go to Document >>OCR Text Recognition >>Recognize Text using OCR. Choose the pages you want to OCR, click on edit to choose Primary OCR Language and PDF Output Style, and then click OK and OK again to initiate the OCR process for a currently-open scanned PDF. For detailed instructions, see http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/acrobat_ocr_make_your_scanned/. Also see http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/ocr-those-pdfs/25653 to learn more about PDF use.

The United States Department of Justice has created a helpful brief about service animals in public and private settings. Please see their website. We welcome students with service animals on campus, and we will aim to notify you in advance if we expect that a student with a service animal may be enrolled in one of your classes. We are delighted to welcome Fathom, who recently joined our Swarthmore community as a service dog for one of our students. Please see Physical Access and Learning Support to learn more about Fathom.
5 Tips: When You Meet a Seeing Eye® Dog
Prepared by Seeing Eye®. To learn more, visit their website.
Always remember, distracting a Seeing Eye® dog can make its owner vulnerable to harm.
- Do not call the dog's name, make eye contact, feed, or talk to the dog. It's always best to treat the dog as if he is not there.
- Do not pet a guide dog when he is wearing the harness. If the dog is resting without his harness, ask the owner before you pet the dog and respect the person's decision if they say no.
- Do not shout directions, take the person by the arm, or interrupt them when they are crossing the street. If you are concerned for their safety, ask them if they need help first.
- Please don't let your pet near a guide dog, even if your pet is leashed. Even allowing your pet to visit or "say hi" for just a moment can cause the guide dog to lose focus on the important job he has to do.
- It's helpful to let a person who is blind know that you are nearby and tell the person if you have a dog with you.

- Monday, May 20, 11:54 AM Maybe the best synthetic way to play the dramatic changes in Japan (yen down, stocks up) is U.S. ETF provider WisdomTree (WETF). It's up 2.5% today - pushing its YTD gain to nearly 125% - as its Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) moves past $10B in AUM. The once-tiny fund has received about $7B in inflows this year and now threatens EWJ ($12.26B AUM) for dominance in the Japan ETF space. 2 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Monday, May 20, 4:57 AM The Japanese economy is slowly improving, the government says, pointing to evidence that exports and factory output are beginning to show signs of life. The upgraded economic assessment is the first upbeat report in two months. Additionally, Reuters Tankan survey showed a sixth consecutive month of improving manufacturer sentiment in Japan, as exporters cheer the weak yen. The index printed at 7, the first positive read in more than a year. The country's Economics Minister says the stage is set for a "V-shaped recovery." The rosy outlook was enough to boost the Nikkei (EWJ, DXJ)) 1.47% on the session. Comment!
Friday, May 17, 4:49 PM
The week's ETF movers - Gainers: TAN +9.6%. XLF +3.7%. UNG +3.4%. GAZ +3.2%. EWJ +3.0%.
ETF Losers: GDXJ -14.2%. GDX -11.5%. PSLV -7.3%. SLV -6.9%. SIVR -6.7%. 1 Comment [On the Move] - Thursday, May 16, 2:44 PM It's Japan and then there's everything else. Of the top 2013 gainers in assets among ETFs, the Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) and MSCI Japan Fund (EWJ) have brought in nearly $12B, about equal to the next 5 combined. If we're talking flows as a percentage of AUM, the rush into Japan funds is even more impressive. The low-volatility sector stands out as well with the USMV garnering $2.5B against a previous base of just $1.1B. Comment!
- Thursday, May 16, 6:26 AM Unexpectedly weak capital spending marred an otherwise decent Japan GDP report, weighing on the Nikkei (EWJ, DXJ), which fell 0.39% but still held onto the 15,000 level. The yen (FXY) was firm against the dollar for most of session, trading around ¥102, but has since lost ground, falling 0.40% to ¥102.60. Comment!
- Wednesday, May 15, 3:26 PM The Japanese bull market is too big of a deal to try and get cute, says Jeff Gundlach (video), advising not to try and time a market up 66% in 6 months. If QE is your reason for owning U.S. stocks, he says, why not pile into Japan (EWJ) where the asset purchase program is far larger? Maybe as leveraged as anything to the Japanese bull market is American ETF provider WisdomTree (WETF +3.5%), more than doubling this year as its hedged Japan equity fund (DXJ) reels in billions in assets. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 15, 7:32 AM The Nikkei (EWJ, DXJ) soared another 2.3% overnight to top 15K for the first time since 2007 as the yen (FXY) slid 0.3% to a new multi-year low of ¥102.65. Leading was Sony (SNE), up 10% following Dan Loeb's push for a breakup. Toyota (TM) paced the exporters with a 3.7% gain. JGBs (JGBL) were calm, the yield on the 10-year flat at 0.86%. 4 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 14, 10:42 AM "Contrarians should start buying emerging markets (EEM, DEM, VWO) and think about global energy (XLE) and material companies (XLB) and commodities (DBC)," says BAML's John Bilton, noting a "marked uptick" in concern about China (FXI, CAF) in his firm's latest fund manger survey. One-in-four now consider a Chinese hard landing as the biggest risk to their investment. Where respondents are not fearful? Japan (EWJ, DXJ). (previous) 4 Comments [Global & FX, Commodities]
- Tuesday, May 14, 7:21 AM An early look at the BAML May fund manager survey shows hedge fund equity exposure (VTI) at the highest in 7 years, +45%. Commodity exposure (DBC) is a negative 29%. Cash is at 4.3%. Sectors: It's a record-low exposure to energy (XLE) at -17%. Japan (EWJ, DXJ) at +31% is the highest in 7 years. 1 Comment
- Monday, May 13, 4:56 AM The yen (FXY) continues its slide , falling to a new four-and-a-half year low against the dollar, helping the Nikkei (NKY) post another triple-digit gain on the session, rising 1.2% to 14782, its highest level since January 2008. The weak yen comes on the heels of the G7's reportedly amicable meeting over the weekend, at which officials were generally supportive of the BOJ's policies and reiterated that Japan's goal is to fight deflation not engage in the targeting of exchange rates. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
- Sunday, May 12, 9:49 PM In Japan, the Nikkei (NKY) scales yet another new five-year high, rising 1.39% ahead of key Chinese economic data. Comment!
- Friday, May 10, 4:37 AM For the first time since April of 2009, the yen (FXY) fell through the 100-level against the dollar, helping the Nikkei rally nearly 3% on the session and almost 7% on the week. Japanese equities (EWJ) are now trading at levels last seen in January of 2008. Japanese capital flows data finally showed what many had been waiting for since BOJ Governor Kuroda's shot across the bow at deflation: an outflow, as Japanese investors became net buyers of foreign bonds. 6 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 8, 4:33 AM Fears that flagging demand in the U.S. and Europe would weigh heavily on China's trade data didn't play out, as exports grew 14.7% in April, helping the country swing to a surplus of $18.16B after posting a slight deficit in March. The data surprised analysts, even as some say the numbers may be inflated: "This probably reflects some overinvoicing [as] it was inconsistent with cargo volumes," one economist tells WSJ. Nevertheless, the data serves to buoy regional markets as the Nikkei (NKY) continues its ascent in Japan, rising 0.74% to yet another new five-year record high. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 7, 4:37 AM In Japan, stocks (EWJ) come off a long weekend well-rested and promptly rally to near five-year highs as the Nikkei surges 3.55% on the back of Friday's strong U.S. jobs data. Meanwhile, Australia's central bank cut rates by 25 basis points, sending the aussie (FXA) down 0.6% to two month lows against the dollar. 5 Comments
- Friday, May 3, 8:20 AM "Long Japan, Short Rwanda," is the title of a report from BAML suggesting the emerging market debt sector (EMB) is getting a bit frothy. Rwanda last week sold $400M of 10-year notes priced to yield 6.87%. The amount represents 5.5% of the country's GDP and the deal was 10x oversubscribed. Better bets, says the report, are Japanese equities (EWJ, DXJ) and U.S. housing (XHB). Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, April 22, 2:55 PM The rally in Japanese equities is just getting started, Morgan Creek's Mark Yusko told a Grant's conference last week. Stocks there remain cheap by any number of metrics and, a bonus, companies have dealt with persistent deflation by relentlessly slashing costs - meaning strong profits on any incremental business. All that's needed is a little growth and "Abenomics" should cure that. DXJ +27.5% YTD. 3 Comments [Global & FX]

Support for Lotus Symphony
October 15 2008
After a short customer meeting near Heathrow, I'm headed onward to the Frankfurt area tonight. During this quick stop, UK messaging sales leader Darren Adams was kind enough to give my boss and I a lift to the airport. One of our topics of discussion was how customers can obtain support for Lotus Symphony.
When Symphony first shipped, Lotus introduced a flat fee Elite Support price for an annual Symphony support contract. The cost is very reasonable -- US$25,000 per year. At this price, you can have up to 20 named callers and support up to 20,000 users -- a very cost-effective model.
Darren pointed out that at the low end, though, this is an expensive option for organizations with a dozen or few hundred employees. No worries, though -- between us, Kevin and I came up with three additional support options that are available at a lower cost for the low-end:
- We provide free forum-based support for Symphony on the Symphony website. These forums are monitored by the product development team and responses are provided in a timely manner.
- Buy Lotus Notes or Lotus Collaboration Express licenses -- both include support for the integrated Symphony tools that are part of the Notes 8 client. You can buy as small as quantity 1 of Collaboration Express and be able to access support.
- Buy a Lotus Foundations server -- in addition to all of the great automation and collaboration capabilities of the Foundations server, Foundations included a supported license for Lotus Symphony.
All of these sound like great ways to introduce Symphony into small business, at a great price and with full vendor support.

It would be good to see IBM offer training to application Help Desk companies like PC Helps. That would enable many companies to have access to support of Symphony and consider the switch.

Erik Brooks | 10/15/2008 7:41:54 PM
Is pricing for the Foundations avenus listed anywhere? The "Lotus Foundations" link has no readily-obvious pricing online. There's simply a "ready to buy?" and a form to have a BP contact you.

Charles Robinson http://www.cubert.net | 10/15/2008 7:54:46 PM
I agree with Henry. Training is important to me, vendor support is not.
- 4
Keith Brooks http://www.vanessabrooks.com | 10/15/2008 10:16:03 PM
And how much are you willing to pay for it, in this economy?
The problem with training is price.
No one wants to pay for it and if they do, they don't want to spend 1,000-3,000 for an instructor to be onsite.
Or as I saw, even $500 to do it online in one case.
They want free online tutorials or precut webinars.
Maybe IBM can do it, maybe they can't.
What BP wants to do it for free or less than cost?
Not trying to weasle out of it, just asking the question differently.

John C. Cummins | 10/16/2008 3:40:40 PM
If IBM is serious about getting people to go with Symphony instead of Office 2007, then it needs to offers some free tutorials, webinars, screen cams, etc.
It is not very different from MS Office 97-2003 and hence will be much more familiar to users than Office 2007. It is more intuitive than Open Office in my opinion.
When customers bring up training, the key thing to remind them is that they will have to be trained either way. A little with Symphony or a LOT with Office 2007. There isn't a way to avoid the office tool upgrade, just postpone it until MS Office 2003 end of life...
- 6
Erik Brooks | 10/16/2008 11:39:33 PM
@5 - Interesting observation about Office 2003 EOL. If Symphony is looking good and the ribbon interface is still making people go "ummm...." then IBM could be in a great position to blitz the market.

Graham Dodge | 10/17/2008 3:03:50 AM
@2 Of the top of my head the Australian pricing for Foundations is:
Server: c. AUD$350 per server
Client: c. AUD$230 per user
Of course that's before the Australian dollar went tits up and the exchange rate plunged southwards of 70 cents :{
Not sure on the US price... that's out of my sales territory.
- 8
Mike McP http://www.openntf.com/mPortal | 10/17/2008 10:10:23 AM
@6 Not so sure about that one. I mean, corporate probably cares less about EOL of a mature Office 2003 than I do about support for a relatively new Symphony...and I'm not too interested in Symphony support.
Symphony simply needs to be as close to Office 2k/2003 visually and functionally as possible..that's the hook. To get traction into MS territory, they need to capitalize on the mess that is the Office 2007 GUI. If Symphony takes off, support will take care of itself as people report bugs and suggest enhancements.
- 9
David Vasta http://www.iSeriesAddict.com | 10/19/2008 8:46:56 PM
We are liking Symphony here, and I know I am pushing it and using it more and more each day. I do think it needs a little more time in the oven for some people, but for me and what I use it for it's super.

Good morning, all. I appreciate any help and assure you that I take seriously everyone's comments. I want my website to be as good as I can get it -- and I am NOT a website designer. I look forward to hearing from the professionals out there.
That said, it should be obvious that I created the site myself. The address is: http://www.success4biz.biz
The purpose of the website is to inform people of what we do and how we do it. It's to draw interest and get people to come to the center for meetings, events and as cowork members.
Borrowing from a description I created in another forum, my business does:
In this day and age -- especially in the economically hard hit midwest -- many people are turning their dreams into small businesses, hoping and praying that they'll be able to make a success of their hard work. Unfortunately, money is very, very tight and the government agencies set up to support small business are more looking at either helping with business plan work (etc.) or want the LARGE small businesses to be a part of their network. Mom and Pop companies are often left by the wayside.
There is a new movement starting however, called coworking and it entails organizations that focus on the entrepreneur, the homebased business, the little guy who spends his or her time working IN their business, and may not be able to see above the horizon on how to work ON their business.
My organization (run successfully in large corporate America) has recently moved back to the midwest and I am hoping to help these people I speak about. I am a connector: I challenge, motivate and collaborate with businesses, supporting them to help them create success.
Thank you everyone, in advance, for giving me your thoughtful critiques of this site. I'm sure that I'll be able to implement changes and see a better response based on your thoughts and ideas.

Can this Apple Digital A/V cable be used to play video files tapped from a NAS (Network Access) Drive?
I am trying to find a way to play video home movies saved on a NAS drive and played on my Iphone 4 (via an app), to be viewed on a TV. I learned that just hooking a cable from the iphone to tv only plays movies saved on the internal memory of the Iphone, not from a separate drive.
Does this cable allow movie files to be played on a tv from a NAS drive? The description says the unit can "mirror" any video that is playing on the Iphone.

Mud Set To Slowly Plug Broken BP Well
By Eileen Fleming
New Orleans, La. – Heavy mud will be pumped one barrel at a time every minute, then two barrels, then three while engineers monitor pressure inside the cap that's been holding back the oil since mid-July. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen says cement could complete the procedure, depending on the condition of lines supporting the well itself.
"The decision on whether or not to put cement in after the mud will be completely dependent on the assessment of the integrity of the casing and the well bore, what the diagnostic testing has showed us in terms of the mud that has gone in. And if we don't have to cement we can always do that as a result of the bottom kill operation that will have to be done anyway."
The bottom kill is expected to permanently seal the broken well with more mud and cement pumped through a relief well.
For NPR News, I'm Eileen Fleming in New Orleans.

Have you received my PM?
Thanks for the rep (I didn't forget about your hack request)!
häppy birthdäy !
Happy birthday!
Thanks for the rep! Yeah, I hope that soundchip thread continues until I have to make a special album and listen to it every time I drive.
Ahahah, that made me laugh again.
Not a problem! What did I give it for?
Thanks for the rep! Indeed your "Search-Fu" skills are far superior to mine!
Thanks for the rep! That's certainly not the best attitude to have all the time and not the purpose of the forum, but sometimes things are so wrong that I can't help myself. I'm addict to details and specific info; and TheSonicRetard is great source of that (he is also a very nice guy). So I don't like to see someone calling him idiot or something with no reasons and no arguments. Also, bashing several libraries and systems without any explanation with strong language is the wrong boat to take.

Language assistance available at no cost.
Manpower Programs
Some of the regulations were as follows:
These regulations applied to all projects with the exception of enrollees assigned to the Home Repair Program for the elderly. The Home Repair Committee established priorities for this project.
On-the-Job Training Program was a program operated by LKLP that enabled a worker to get a job and be paid a subsidy during the training period. This also assisted the employer while the worker completed his training. The employer was expected to pay 50% of the salary and to hire the trainee once the period of training was over. The program, in the early 1970's, could place a worker with an employer for 50 days to 120 days. It depended on the classification of the job. This program was funded through the United States Department of Labor.
Neighborhood Youth Corps (NYC) In School Program
Medical Transportation
In 1973 a fee of five cents per mile was charged to those able to pay. Today, of course, the fee is much higher and other agencies pay most of the bill.
Millstone Sewing Center
Neighborhood Youth Corps participants also were assigned to the center. They were taught cooking, carpentry and home repair. Since 1966, this Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) funded program has served as an information center providing free clothing, bedding and shoes for thousands of rural people.
A lunch program was also established. Food stamps would last two weeks and then hunger and malnutrition would usually be present for the remainder of the month. The program worked with seamstresses, NYC workers and women in the community in budgeting and preparing food.
Edwin J. Safford, an employee from the Council of Southern Mountains, assisted Mrs. Kiser in organizing communities and developing the Millstone concept even before LKLP was formed. Safford later became LKLP's first Director.
The LKLP Cannery was funded by an OEO grant to provide a do it yourself service to all area residents. Anyone, not only low-income, could participate in the program. Citizens could bring meat, vegetables or fruits to can.
The cannery was in a trailer that was equipped with modern equipment such as steam-jacket cookers, a large electric cake mixer, an automatic separator which removed solids (seeds and hulls) from tomatoes and fruits, and an electric hoist to lift racks of cans into and out of the retorts (big pressure cookers).
Pioneer Village
The project has one of the best craft shops anywhere in the country, supplied solely by local craft persons. This craft shop is located in the Stamper cabin. The Johnson Cabin has the most historical significance and is not being developed as a museum. With the Johnson Cabin is a smokehouse and a barn or shed.
Project Head Start
Head Start is much more than a typical preschool educational program. Activities are provided to stimulate emotional, intellectual, physical and social growth. Head Start focuses on involving parents and the community in a four component area: education, health, social services and parent involvement. The Policy Council, composed of at least 50% current parents and representatives from community groups and professional groups, is the decision body of Head Start. Parents also work in the Head Start Centers as paid teacher aides and volunteers.
Head Start is a community action program and can be operated by community action agencies or delegated by the agency to Boards of Education. There are some college sponsored Head Start Programs and other private non-profit organizations.
The Leslie County Health Program (LCHP) was an Office of Health Affairs, Office of Economic Opportunity, Comprehensive Health Service Program serving the low-income residents of Leslie County. The Leslie County Development applied for the first grant and established the program, but after the Leslie, Knott, Letcher, Perry County merger, the program had to be funded through LKLP.
The components were: (1) medical, (2) dental, (3) school for retarded and handicapped (Hope House), (4) health, education and outreach, (5) transportation, and (6) environmental health.*
The program was expanded and named the Mountain Comprehensive Health (MCHC) Program. Ike Vanderpool was the Director for a short period of time, but Lois Baker has been the Director for many years during the developmental period and the multi-county expansion, MCHC is a non-profit Kentucky Corporation and has been in operation since 1971. It is governed by a fifteen (15) member Board of Directors and is one of the largest rural health programs in the Nation.
They have an annual budget of $8.5 million and annually serve over 25,000 patients. Patients are charged on a sliding scale depending on income. MCHC delivers around 400 babies per year.
*As reported on June 30, 1971
Under the Youth Enrichment Program, a college work study (off campus) was implemented. Colleges and Universities had federal money available to hire needy students to work on campus during the summer months to assist in expenses to continue their education. LKLP, with assistance through the Kentucky Association for Community Action, established an off campus program with the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority where through CAA's students could do community work for their work study experience.
The country structure included a County Developer, an Office Manager, Supervisors and outreach or community workers. Development was on a county emphasis rather than a multi-county effort.
The four areas were Community Organization, Economic Development, Youth Enrichment and Consumer Action and Financial Counseling.
In the early years, OEO stressed community organization. The theory was that citizens, especially the poor, should have a say in the things that affect them. If a community is organized and can speak as a group, it can get things done in a timely manner to improve the community and the lives of its poor.
The CO aides helped the councils to set up priorities and to implement programs already planned. They worked with families and individuals attempting to find solutions for problems. A good CO would not only know services available through LKLP, but would also know other agencies services available.
Consumer Action and Financial Counseling
Consumer education classes were established in the four-county area to carry out its objectives. These classes were designed to assist low-income consumers on wise use of credit, to determine values of merchandise, to develop family budgets and, overall, to provide consumer education training.
The classes were arranged by the consumer education aides and were conducted by qualified nutritionists or home economists from local health departments and the University of Kentucky Extension Service. The consumer aides also conducted individual or family counseling for those who could not attend group sessions.
Youth Enrichment and Development Program
The objectives of the program were as follows:
Most LKLP programs work with low-income people. The youth program did work primarily with youth from disadvantaged families but also did work with youth who were above income guidelines if the needs were there.

POTSDAM SCHOOL BUDGET SCENARIO STILL TIGHT, EVEN WITH FEDERAL STIMULUS MONEY--Superintendent Pat Brady says with a 4 percent tax levy hike estimate for next year, using preliminary figures released this week, there would still be a 350-thousand dollar budget gap for next year. This, even with the use of some fund balance and leftover capital project money, and the current state aid loss projection of 685-thousand dollars.
COLTON MAN CHARGED WITH TWO FELONY COUNTS AFTER POTSDAM TRAFFIC STOP--Village Police pulled over 38-year-old Thomas Farns on Main Street about 1:40 this morning after he was spotted allegedly speeding 47 in a 30. Farns allegedly had a blood-alcohol content of .24%, three times the legal limit. Farns was charged with Felony Aggravated DWI, Felony Aggravated Unlicensed Operation 1st, and Speeding. Farns was released on court appearance tickets.

LAWRENCE COUNTY IDA COST-BENEFIT RATIO RANKED SECOND-BEST IN STATE, COMPTROLLER SAYS--The Comptroller's Office recently published a report that shows the St. Lawrence County IDA had a 2007 cost-benefit ratio of -negative-$9430 dollars. That means companies generated more tax revenue than the amount of breaks they got. Some are skeptical, however. Jefferson County IDA Executive Don Alexander told WWTI-Newswatch 50 yesterday the numbers were trotted out in time for the upcoming hearings on reform, and are designed to show IDA's are wasting money as a whole.

What is needed to replace the battleship - well battleships were effectively replaced by carriers, with their much longer reach......and of course the SSM which can be launched from a much smaller vessel.
What is needed to replace the battleship could be rephrased - what is needed to bring back the battleship as a front line instrument of war? I suspect the answer might be to increase the firepower and reach of the battleship, so it can shoot at targets at greater ranges than carriers with less risk - but there is the problem of deriving gunnery solutions on targets way beyond its visual threshold.

Steve Steele - The Expat
Album Details
- Artist: Steve Steele
- Album: The Expat
- Label: Ultraviolet Catastrophe Records
- Year of Release: 2011
- ME Rating:
- Reviewed by: archelon on 2011-01-28
Steve Steele appears to have found his voice. Off the back of an EP he admits freely to not liking, Steele says he has spent the last two years working on his singing and "not feeling at home in Houston", which (in terms of this record) is a very good thing. The theme of The Expat is disconnection, homesickness, being out of place and is broached effortlessly through a progressive take on classic rock sound which connects quite well, ironically enough.
Steele's voice is fantastic - soulful, deep and engrossing, and goes a long way to making the so-so lyrics into an emotionally affecting story. The album manages to grab quite a few intense and complex issues by their metaphorical balls but never becomes hard to follow, on the condition that you let it swallow you. Not entirely difficult - it's hard not to be drawn in. Tracks such as the intricate 'Godwin Park' and the Queens Of The Stone Age homage 'Revelation On The Radio' could have been composed by Bowie, but they have a harder edge and a modern flavour both intriguing and candid.
It's innovative, for sure. If detective noir were to be made into music, The Expat would be it. Sure, there are some Chicago-accented mob cliches, and you know how it's gonna play out in the end, but it's the getting there that's important.

There's no question God's power is on the move. I can see it in my own community, here on Long Island. Vibrant lay apostolates are everywhere and I'm encountering more and more Catholics and other Christians with a passion and a purpose that cannot be stopped because of their trust in God's power.
In addition to my work as a writer and workshop leader, I'm also the founder of Catholic Writers of Long Island, which held it's first event, a full-day conference, earlier this year. Out of that fledgling effort, which was very blessed to have received an overwhelming response, we now have a mailing list of 170 people who either attended or wished they had and are willing to incorporate the spirit of St. Thomas More's prayer: "The things that we pray for, good Lord, give us the grace to work for." We are now in the process of planning next year's conference!
At our first post-event meeting, we were very blessed to have Brother James McVeigh, the Director of the Office of New Evangelization for the Diocese of Rockville Center, give the opening comments. He put his finger on the three elements that are present when we put Jesus Christ at the very center of everything we do: purpose, passion, and power.
Rest assured, as you labor in the fields of the Lord, that as you strive each day to lay it all at the Lord's feet, to make of your life a gift of love and service, that He waters what you plant and completes what you leave unfinished.
I'd like to share the following message from the lovely Christian team over at 40 Days for Life. It includes a free "gift"; an offer of extensive audio and print resources that you can use in your home, Church, or classroom with adults or teens, to teach effective methods for saving lives from abortion -- found at www.endingabortion.com. Just click on the orange button to get your free materials. Here's that message I promised [enjoy the short, encouraging video]!
Dear Lisa,
My family and David Bereit's family just got together
around the Christmas tree to make a short video for you.

In the video, we also have some gifts for you :-)
Hope you enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed
making it for you, Lisa!
During this holy season, when we celebrate the birth
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, our entire
national 40 Days for Life team and their families
wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas.
In Christ Who Is the Reason for the Season,
Shawn Carney
Campaign Director
