DAMN!! All that time that we, men, spent perfecting that special touch. All those countless hours of practice, spent, in an effort to close the gap on the lesbian advantage. Now a new study shows that all we should have done was play a song for the ladies and the deal will be sealed….Damn you Marvin Gaye….Damn you Lionel Richie!!! Well, maybe not completely. Music does make her loose control!!The study was commissioned by digital music service Spotify to examine the relationship between music, romance and seduction.
"Dirty Dancing" was the top pick for both men and women, although the study's author, music psychologist Daniel Mullensiefen, also pointed out that men are more willing to adjust their tastes in music in order to ensure "greater success in the bedroom."
Well played, gentlemen.
Another surprise finding? Respondents said music playing in the background is 40% more likely to turn them on than the touch or feel of their partner.
Rather not listen to "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" during sex? Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" placed second on the list, with Ravel's "Bolero" finishing third.
"It's no surprise that so many respondents claimed to find music arousing in the bedroom," Mullensiefen said in a release. He said music activates the same pleasure centers of the brain that respond to rewards such as food, drugs or sex.
One in three participants identified Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a song that is "better than sex." Next on the list was "Sex on Fire" by Kings of Leon and "Angels" by Robbie Williams. Mullensiefen describes these as songs that take unexpected turns that we respond to in highly emotional, but positive, ways.
The study interviewed 2,000 people in the United Kingdom between the ages of 18 and 91, with an almost equal gender split.
Mullensiefen is co-director of the Master Program in Music, Mind and Brain and senior lecturer in the department of psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London.
He said even though some UK pop hits were favorites coming out of the study, he believes many results would also hold true in the United States. Mullensiefen said the best tracks for getting in the mood all possess similar vocal qualities, like a wide, dynamic range, more use of the "high chest voice" and raspiness. He offers Gaye's "Sexual Healing" and "Let's Get it On" as examples.

This post is inspired by comments on the RMW Facebook page (are you not a member yet? come join in!) and a discussion we held on what you lovelies would like to see posted over the coming months.
More than a few of you mentioned "wedding day nightmares" and by this I mean in the literal sense, as in, you go to bed expecting to enjoy lovely dreams about chiffon and cupcakes and instead wake up in a cold sweat because your sleep was plagued with what I refer to as "The Fear".
Now, this can be basically anything that you worry about when it comes to the Big Day, from forgetting your fancy underwear to being presented with a wilted bunch of blooms to carry down the aisle.
I used to have a few re-occurring ones, my photographer not being able to make it resulting in my un-artistic father getting snap-happy with the point and click, losing my make-up bag (can you imagine?!) and the worst one of all, that our venue was double booked. We turn up only to find an entirely different wedding party already there and we are duly turned away – unable to get married at all. I used to open my eyes and be unable to breathe after a night of that particular horror.
As with any major event there are so many variables and you are simply unable to preempt the outcome. Unfortunatley I don't have the answers on worry prevention, what I can tell you is that it's completely normal to feel completely and utterly out of your control comfort-zone.
However, one thing I would recommend is W-day insurance, we personally didn't need to claim anything as it happens but for what little it costs, the ability to remove the stress associated with any potential investment loss as a result was totally worth it.
Oh and confirmation. Make sure you have everything confirmed in writing, this may sound obvious but what I mean is ensure your suppliers confirm your wedding date back to you on their correspondence. All it takes is a one teenyy weeny digit to be misread or misheard and on the eve of your perfectly planned soiree your DJ could be sunning himself in Spain basking in the ignorant bliss of his mixing skills not being required until the following weekend…
And you know what? something is bound to go array. Because that's real life I'm afraid folks. But it will be fine. In fact it will be better than fine, it will be great, and as you radiate that newly-wed glow of together foreverness all those nasty nightmares will seem like a long, distant and pointless memory.
It would be interesting (and I'm sure amusing) to hear what your "fear" has been, so if you're just sat at your computer this Sunday then why not drop us a comment? Adam and I are working on a few new RMW projects together all day so it would certainly make things more entertaining.

IBM to build massive supercomputer for U.S. government
Remember Roadrunner's 1 petaflop? The new system will reach 20 petaflops
Computerworld - The U.S. government has hired IBM to build a supercomputer with more power than all the supercomputers on the Top500 supercomputer list combined.
It's an ambitious claim by IBM in a business where jumbo-size claims are the norm. The planned Sequoia system, capable of 20 petaflops, will be used by the U.S. Department of Energy in its nuclear stockpile research. The fastest systems today can only reach 1 petaflop, a remarkable achievement in its own right that was met only last year.
It "is the biggest leap of computing capability ever delivered to the lab," said Mark Seager, assistant department head for advanced technology at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif., where the system will be housed. It's expected to be up and running in 2012.
IBM is actually building two supercomputers under this contract. The first one, to be delivered by midyear, is called Dawn and will operate at around 500 teraflops. Researchers will use Dawn to help prepare for the larger system.
Sequoia will use approximately 1.6 million processing cores, all IBM Power chips, running Linux, which dominates high-performance computing at this scale. IBM is still developing a 45-nanometer chip for the system and may produce something with eight or 16 cores -- or more -- for it. Although the final chip configuration has yet to be determined, the system will have 1.6TB of memory and be housed in 96 "refrigerator-size" racks.
The cost of the system wasn't disclosed.
The supercomputer is also helping to drive a massive power upgrade at Lawrence Livermore, which is increasing the amount of electricity available for all its computing systems from 12.5 megawatts to 30 megawatts. To achieve the upgrade, it will run more power lines to its facility. Sequoia alone is expected to use about 6 megawatts, according to Seager.
The world's first computer to break the teraflop barrier was built at Sandia National Laboratories in 1996. A teraflop equals a trillion floating points a second; a petaflop is 1,000 trillion (one quadrillion) sustained floating-point operations per second.
It takes government funding to build systems of this scale and size, but that also means that the U.S. is paying for much of the problem-solving it takes to scale across more than a million cores. "This is what's so good about it," said Herb Schultz, manager of deep computing at IBM. "They [the national lab] end up proving that you can get codes to scale that high."
In effect, by solving those problems, the national lab's work will pave the way for broader adoption of massive systems that could improve weather research, forecasts, tornado tracking, and work on a variety of other research problems. Large systems such as Sequoia help researchers reduce uncertainty and improve precision in simulations that can, for instance, predict tornado paths. The more compute power available, the more fine tuned and accurate the simulation.
The major problem in running a system of this scale is "the applications -- porting the applications and scaling them up is a critical problem we are facing," said Seager.
There are two petaflop systems in the U.S., IBM's Roadrunner at Los Alamos National Laboratory, which passed the petaflop barrier last May, and Cray Inc.'s XT Jaguar at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
IBM plans to build Sequoia at its Rochester, Minn., plant.

Samenvatting | In response to the membership in the European Union, post-communist states, societies and economies in Eastern Europe are undergoing unprecedented change and are in a process of re-definition. The European integration process relies in part on programmes initiated by the European Commission, one of which is the European Capital of Culture (ECC). In 2007, Sibiu city in Romania, together with Luxembourg and the Greater Region, was named ECC. The status of ECC was simultaneous with Romania's accession to the EU. Thus, the events taking place in Sibiu were given great symbolic and political importance in the country. The article looks at how, in the context of Sibiu ECC 2007 programme, heritage is an essential part of different strategies used by local people in Sibiu city and region to promote economic, social, and cultural development and to strengthen and increase the global competitiveness of regions, in this case, Transylvania. There is a renewed concern for revitalizing local traditions, which are seen as necessary in affirming Romanian national identity in the context of European Union. At the same time, traditions strengthen regional identities. The article examines the inauguration of the first ecomuseum in Romania, Sibiu County Ecomuseum (Ecomuzeul Regional Sibiu), an example of how heritage, landscape and identity were linked and gained more importance in the context of the Sibiu ECC 2007 programme that aimed at asserting the potential of heritage for economic development. |

Injured local jailer on the mend
Man's jaw still wired shut following attack.By: Ross Dolan, The Daily Republic
James Dietz never saw the punch coming.
"He was in front of me and it was a very fast maneuver," he said. "There was no reaction time." Dietz, a part-time correctional officer at the Davison County Jail in Mitchell, said he was making rounds and doing his job "to the letter" when the inmate attacked him.
"The first hit knocked me out," he said, "so there wasn't much I could do." The savage blow drove Dietz backward; his head struck a ledge near the pod's entry door and his body fell heavily into the corridor outside the pod.
His assailant pressed the attack, following up with kicks to the downed jailer's body, until another corrections officer warned off the inmate with a Taser.
The attack occurred Jan. 1. In the days afterward, while he was hospitalized, Dietz's face was badly swollen. He looked remarkably better Friday.
"I don't have as much strength or energy as before, but I'm improving and I don't need the heavy pain meds anymore," he said.
Dietz's jaw has been wired shut after being broken in the attack. He has been on a liquid diet.
The ordeal has knocked 10 pounds off his 6-foot, 220-pound frame, Deitz said, "which is about where I want to be." He wouldn't recommend it as a diet plan, though.
The wires will be removed later this week, but he must remain on a soft diet for at least two more weeks to reduce the possibility of re-injuring his jaw. It will be February before he is cleared to return to work, he said.
The inmate's name is still being withheld pending the filing of charges, State's Attorney Jim Miskimins said Friday.
Since the attack and subsequent surgery to repair a broken jaw, right cheekbone, orbital bone and split lower lip, recovery has been Dietz's main priority.
He has been able to attend his nursing classes at Dakota Wesleyan University, but it will be weeks before he is cleared for work. Originally from Sioux Falls, Dietz attended the University of South Dakota for two years before transferring to DWU. He plans to graduate from DWU in 2014 with a degree in nursing.
He is a certified emergency medical technician, formerly worked at the Clay County Jail and still works a few times each month for Canton's ambulance program. He credits his EMT credentials with helping him to land his job at the jail.
He hopes to work for the ambulance service next summer to help pay his college expenses.
"I've had nothing but support from the county on everything that's come up," he said. He declined comment on whether different procedures or policies at the jail might have prevented his injuries. In the meantime, he said, "Worker's comp helps to pay some bills, but I'm watching what I spend." He dreams of solid food. "I'd give anything for a pizza," he joked. "But even more than food, it would be really nice to brush my teeth. I can brush the outside OK, but the inside is really nasty."

Keep Your Pet Safe this
Have you thought about how it will affect your Pet?
Halloween is a crazy and fun time for humans, but for our pets it's a completely different story – they can become confused and scared by all the different goings-on in their house. Parents are busier than usual making outfits for their kids, preparing food etc., and the kids are hyped up by all this activity. Their anticipation and excitement heightens as Halloween night approaches. Of course, everyone is so busy and pre-occupied with the preparations that our pet is often neglected at this time; they cannot understand what's going on, why everyone is so excited, and they feel very confused.
So what can we do to keep our pets safe and secure?
1. Keep your pet in a safe place to avoid him getting stressed – as far away from the front door as possible; a back bedroom would be ideal, or an upstairs bedroom would be even better. Close the curtains to keep out the noises of the front doorbell ringing constantly and strange voices – people's voices get louder when they are in party mode!
2. Pets can knock over lighted pumpkins, so they should be kept out of your pet's reach. As we all know, cats are very curious and may want to investigate a lighted pumpkin and run the risk of getting burnt, so instead of using a candle, use one of those luminous sticks that glow in the dark – a great idea – and a lot safer, both for our kids and our pets!
3. Chocolate can be harmful to animals, so don't be tempted to give your pet a "treat" just because it's Halloween! Be careful where you put any plastic candy wrappers or cellophane, as your pet could be in danger if he swallows them. Remember – if you drop anything on the floor, it's like a magnet for your pet. He will lick it up or try to chew it – and worse, even swallow it – so teach the kids that anything to be thrown away goes straight into the rubbish bin – out of harms way!
4. Party lights are very common on Halloween night so make sure all electrical cords and wires are well out of reach for the sake of both your pets and your kids. If your pet chews on an electrical cord, the result could prove deadly.
5. Some people act quite strangely on Halloween night and do things they wouldn't normally do – it's been known for people to steal animals on this night, and sadly, black cats are a prime target because of the superstition that goes with black cats. Some people will tease or even injure your pet, so keep your pets inside where they are safe and therefore cannot be the target of pranksters. Sadly, many pets are injured on this holiday in thoughtless and harmful pranks.
6. Kids want to take your dog trick-or-treating? Definitely not! The flashing lights and sounds of fireworks are very frightening to animals, and often cause them to run away to find a place to hide where they feel safe. Dogs may become uncontrollable, and may bite because of their fear. Cats should also be kept indoors at all times for their own safety.
7. If you have a pet bird, throw a cover over the cage to keep out the noise of the fireworks and the bright lights; they too can become easily stressed by it all.
It's not only dogs, cats and birds that are afraid of the noise and flashing lights from fireworks on this night – or any night for that matter – the same applies to horses, chickens goats, etc.
The overall rule is basically to keep all animals contained in a safe place on Halloween night – for their own protection.
They look to us to protect them, so let's not let them down.
Then you can enjoy Halloween night knowing that your pets are safe and sound!

Comfort Measures for a Baby With Colic
If your baby has Reference colic Opens New Window, simple comforting measures may help shorten the duration or decrease the intensity of a crying episode.
- Make sure your baby isn't hungry. Very young babies usually do not eat much at one sitting and may become hungry 1 to 2 hours after a feeding.
- Address your baby's sucking needs. Sucking can help babies relieve stress without crying. Some babies need to suck as much as 2 hours a day. If feedings are not enough to satisfy sucking, offer your baby a Reference pacifier Opens New Window or clean finger instead.
- Try rocking your baby or playing music. Gently rock your baby or use a mechanical swing. You may also try singing quietly, playing music at a low volume, or turning on something with a rhythmic sound, such as a fan that hums, a vacuum cleaner, a clothes dryer, tape recordings of womb sounds, or a crib sound-and-motion device. Some babies respond well to these measures, especially when combined with loving attention, such as talking and touching.
- Cuddle your baby. Hold your baby close to you in your arms or using a front pack. You may also try swaddling, which is wrapping your baby's arms and legs snugly against his or her body in a blanket. Monitor your baby closely to make sure he or she doesn't get too warm.
- Change his or her position. Hold your baby so that you put gentle pressure on the belly. Try placing your baby over your knee with his or her belly over your lower arm and his or her head at your elbow.
- Soothe your baby with motion. Walk while holding your baby or try carrying him or her in a front pack or sling while you go about your activities. Babies are often comforted by the combination of close contact and motion. Try a walk outside in a front pack or stroller to help change your baby's mood. Some parents find their baby is soothed by riding in the car.
- Bathe your baby. If your baby likes the water, try giving him or her a warm bath.
Try one comfort measure at a time for about 1 or 2 minutes each until you notice the crying start to decrease. If your baby continues to cry for 20 to 30 minutes, change locations and try again. Sometimes nothing works. In these cases, consider placing your baby in his or her crib for a brief period (5 minutes at a time) while you stay close by. Then repeat your attempts to comfort.
If you get exhausted by these efforts, ask for someone else to take over for you. Call 911 right away if you are afraid that you are about to harm your baby and you can't find someone to help you.

Food types and bowel cancer
This page tells you about the foods in our daily diets and how they may affect the risk of bowel cancer. There is information about
Food types and bowel cancer
- Fibre and bowel cancer – we know from research that fibre (mostly in fruit, vegetables and cereals) is likely to protect against bowel cancer
- Fruit, vegetables and bowel cancer – the large European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study has shown that people who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables have a lower bowel cancer risk
- Meat and bowel cancer – eating a lot of red meat, particularly processed meat, increases bowel cancer risk
- Fish and bowel cancer – eating more fish probably lowers your risk of bowel cancer
- Body weight and bowel cancer – people who are overweight or obese have an increased bowel cancer risk, particularly men
- Calcium and bowel cancer – diets high in calcium may lower the risk of bowel cancer
- Alcohol and bowel cancer – bowel cancer risk increases by 15% in people who drink 12.5 units of alcohol per week and is higher in people who drink more than this
You can view and print the quick guides for all the pages in the about bowel cancer section.
Fibre is found mostly in fruit, vegetables and cereals, including flour and bread. A lot of research has looked at fibre and colorectal cancer.
Recent research from the World Cancer Research Fund, including EPIC (the European study into the effect of diet on cancer risk), has suggested that fibre protects against bowel cancer. More than 8 separate studies showed that people who ate the most fibre had the lowest bowel cancer risk. And those who ate the least had the highest bowel cancer risk. The foods studied were all natural foods, such as fruit, vegetables and cereals, and not fibre supplements or foods with artificially added fibre.
In November 2011 a large meta analysis looked at fibre and bowel cancer risk. It included 25 studies and the findings supported the EPIC study. In people who had a high intake of dietary fibre, in particular cereal fibre and whole grains, there was a lower risk of colorectal cancer.
So, fibre is recommended as part of a healthy diet. It can help to prevent other chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. It is not clear whether the protective effect against bowel cancer is due to fibre itself or to other protective properties of fruit, vegetables and cereals. Another possible explanation is that people who eat a high fibre diet also tend to have less food in their diets that increases the risk, such as red and processed meat.
There are a couple of theories to explain the protective effect of fibre
- You need fibre to help waste products travel through the bowel
- Some types of fibre help to carry bile acids that could potentially cause cancer through the bowel more quickly
People who do not eat enough fibre tend to be constipated. So any cancer causing agents are in contact with the bowel lining for longer and increase bowel cancer risk.
Eating more fruit and vegetables may lower the risk of bowel cancer, according to results from the EPIC study. But the evidence is not conclusive. Fruit and vegetables may be protective because they contain vitamins and minerals. Researchers think that antioxidant vitamins and minerals help prevent cell damage that may lead to cells becoming cancerous. There is quite strong evidence that a diet rich in folate is linked to a lower risk of bowel cancer. Folate is a B vitamin found in green and leafy vegetables.
Fruit and vegetables may also be protective because of their fibre content. Diets higher in fruit and vegetables tend to be lower in meat and fat. We do not really know whether it is the fibre or the antioxidant vitamins that make the most difference.
If you take vitamin supplements instead of eating more fruit and vegetables, you miss out on the fibre and on other substances in plant foods that may help prevent cancers. These are called flavonoids, phyto oestrogens and tannins. We don't know whether these help to prevent bowel cancer.
Protein foods are meats, fish, eggs, dairy foods, beans, lentils, soya and tofu. There is reasonable evidence that eating a lot of red meat and processed meats increases bowel cancer risk. Red meats include lamb, pork, veal and beef. Processed meats include sausages, salami, ham, bacon, paté and corned beef.
Poultry meats, such as chicken and turkey, probably don't increase your risk of bowel cancer.
Recent results from a large European study (EPIC) showed that people who eat fish at least every other day on average, lower their risk of bowel cancer by about a third compared to people eating fish about once a fortnight. Other studies show that the more fish people eat, the lower their risk of bowel cancer. But a review by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) found the results of these studies to be inconsistent. Fish might protect against bowel cancer because some types contain fats called long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Cooking methods may increase the cancer risk of meat and fish. Foods cooked at very high temperatures can form chemicals called polycyclic hydrocarbons and aromatic amines. These chemicals are thought to increase cancer risk, but studies have not linked them specifically to bowel cancer.
In some studies, high fat diets have been linked to bowel cancer. But many researchers think this may be tied up with meat intake. Other researchers think that it is not fat that causes the problem, but an unhealthy lifestyle in general. The studies have not generally looked at different types of fats. But if you are trying to eat a healthier diet, it makes sense to use mainly monounsaturated and some polyunsaturated vegetable fats and cut down on saturated animal fat.
There is a strong link between obesity and cancer of the large bowel (colon cancer), especially in men. Body mass index (BMI) is a better measure of obesity than just your weight as it links weight and height. The link takes you to the glossary, which tells you how you can work out your BMI.
Compared to men of a healthy bodyweight, overweight men (with a body mass index of 25 or higher) have a 25% increase colon cancer risk. Obese men (with a BMI of 30 or higher) have a 50% increased risk of colon cancer. There is a smaller risk increase for colon cancer in overweight and obese women.
Calcium may protect against bowel cancer. The World Cancer Research Fund reviewed calcium and bowel cancer risk in 2007. They found that people with the highest amounts of calcium in their diets (over 1,300mg a day) had a lower risk of bowel cancer than people with the lowest amount (less than 500mg a day). But you only have to increase your calcium intake by a small amount to begin to lower your bowel cancer risk. Most of the calcium in our diets comes from milk and other dairy products. To give you an idea of how much calcium is in everyday foods,
- A pint of milk has about 700mg
- A regular pot of plain, full fat yoghurt has about 300mg
- 100g (4oz) of cheddar cheese has about 700mg of calcium but also contains fats that can be harmful
Calcium may help because it prevents polyps from developing. Polyps are growths in the bowel that may develop into cancer over a long period of time. A research review in 2008 found that a daily intake of about 1g of calcium may help to prevent bowel polyps. You can read this review on dietary calcium in the Cochrane Library. It was written for researchers and specialists so it's not in plain English.
Researchers have brought together the results of several studies looking at alcohol and bowel cancer risk. The combined results show that you have a 15% increase in bowel cancer risk if you drink more than 12.5 units of alcohol a week on average. The risk increases further if you drink more than this.
Several large reviews of research into smoking and bowel cancer seem to show that smoking also increases bowel cancer risk.

Van Houten's Landing Oral History Project Winston C. Perry Jr. My name's Win Perry. I live at 319 N. Broadway, Upper Nyack. I was appointed (Upper Nyack) Village Historian by the Village Board. Nobody else wanted the job. I think it was 1973. My grandsons are the 9th generation (of Perrys) who live within 2 miles of Hook Mountain - they live in Valley Cottage. The first Perry ancestor in this area was a hotel keeper at Rockland Lake Landing then called Slaughters Landing. The legend in the family is that he came over from Prussia. He may have been a draft dodger - I don't know. He did serve as a private in the Shore Guard Militia during the Revolution. His sons were farmers in Upper Nyack and Rockland Lake. A grandson, Daniel Perry, moved to the foot of what is now known as Perry Lane and started a boat building business. His son followed him in that business there. His grandson, Harry Perry, was a store keeper. He had the distinction of going bankrupt on 3 different corners in Upper Nyack. My father explained that the wealthy people who had big summer homes on North Broadway would insist on charging their groceries, and then there would be a depression and they wouldn't be able to pay, so he finally gave up the store business and worked as a butcher over in White Plains, and he got pneumonia going in and out of the cooler and died as a very young man. My father was only 3 when he died, and his mother lived only a few years longer, so that he became an orphan and was taken in by his mother's sister Laura Coyle Pitt. The sisters were Coyles - it was a family of, I think, 6 girls and 1 boy. The girls all watched out for each other. Laura was married to Charles Pitt. They lived here for a while. My father's father died when he was quite young. One of his stores was right diagonally across the street here. And then he was postmaster also. The post office was a little pigeon-holed section on the counter - it wasn't what we think of as a post office today. But when my grandfather died, Aunt Laura and Uncle Charlie, my great-uncle, technically, took in my father and his mother. As I said, his mother didn't live very many years thereafter, and after that Aunt Laura and Uncle Charlie continued to act as parents to my father, and foster grandparents to me. I knew them very well growing up. Uncle Charlie was a carpenter, a builder - and one of my first summer jobs as a kid - I think I was 13 years old - was helping him put a wood shingle roof on my father's house. He had a great collection of tools in the old work shop out back - which his father had built in 1895, and I still have those tools. Well, I went out to Berkeley, California to study architecture - that's where I met Betty. When we came back, we moved in with Uncle Charlie, who was a widower by that time. When he died, my father inherited the house and gave us a third of the value, and we bought the other two thirds. So we moved in with all the furniture, the tools, the treasures, the things that were here. I'll have to say that my interest in local history really came from my parents, primarily my father. He had collected quite a few local antiques, artifacts and documents, photographs, over the years, and passed them on to me. I've had a lot of fun preserving them and interpreting them and using them. I've tried to learn more about the early history in this area. It has been a multi-generational family hobby. It (Upper Nyack) has changed significantly. I think maybe the biggest change is that the Upper Nyack School is no longer at the head of School Street. The older portion of School Street that goes up from Broadway to the west, led to the front of the school. Then out toward Highmount Avenue was the athletic field of the school. There were wonderful pick-up ball games there every evening, in the school yard, for the local kids. It's something it's sad to see has disappeared. It produced some great athletes - not me - but I used to enjoy watching them. Other than that, the remarkable thing is that the neighborhood has changed so little, particularly our Van Houten's Landing - the old downtown part of Upper Nyack - is really very much the way it was when I was a child. What's now Hartell's Deli was Gerhart's Ice Cream Parlor. The part of the store where you bought your ice cream was much smaller than the store is now. They have extended the back into what I guess was the Gerharts' living quarters, or store rooms. They lived on Ellen Street, so I guess it must have been a store room. Anyway, the store's a little different than it used to be. The Village Hall was a general store, a candy store, then part of it a liquor store. So the uses have changed over the years, but the building's just the same. A few new homes have been built in what we used to call Under the Hill, on Van Houten's Street - where you live, Jane. The Deitch's house is a relatively new house - it was built during my life - I can remember the house that was there before. And the Esmay's house is new. I can't remember the house that was there, but my father told me there was a little tiny fisherman's shack - really not much more than a one-room house. The whole area from the river up to a couple hundred feet west of Broadway and from roughly Highmount Avenue or the side of Van Houten Street up through and including Castle Heights Avenue, including the backyards of those houses was all owned by John Van Houten at one time. He had purchased a piece of property that was notched out of the adjoining farm. It really centered around the landing. I think that was the signal that business was picking up and a little neighborhood was developing around the businesses, whereas previously everything in Upper Nyack had been farms. John Van Houten and his son John Jr. and his daughter Eleanor, whose name was Ellen Van Houten Tallman, sold off small lots that became the homes of the people whose livelihood was earned on the river, one way or another - either boat building or captains of boats, or some related business. So that was really the origin of our neighborhood. The most common style that there are most of, was originally one room per floor - like the house next north of mine - where very often the kitchen and dining space was in the basement, there was a living room on the main floor, and perhaps 2 bedrooms in the half story above - with the little low windows. Very likely there was no indoor bathroom. They took their bath in a washtub in front of the fireplace. The outhouse was 50 feet in the back lot, and the well was in the other side of the lot. No plumbing, no electrical, and the houses were very simple. They would have had local red sandstone foundations - stone was quarried in this neighborhood. Some of them who had a little more money had brick on the front and stone around the sides and back. There were, I think, 32 little houses built of a very similar plan - maybe 18 feet by 22 feet - something like that - pretty tiny. At least 24 of these houses remain, although most of them have been added on to and very often the additions are bigger than the original houses. The one across Van Houten Street from mine is the only one that remains in its original form. Even though it (319) doesn't have a raised basement, like the one across the street, you can see where the sandstone walls in the basement were whitewashed, and before the porch was added to the south side of the house there was a door that came out into a lower area where you would step up to the lawn. The house consisted of just the living room and hall - what they call a 3 bay house - 2 windows and a door - and a half story above with low windows, 3 windows, just like the house to the north. The north wing we're sitting in now was a part of a 2-story house that was moved here and tacked on. You can tell from the old joints that are no longer used, in the beams in the basement. And you can tell that the original part of the house was only a story and a half by going up in the attic and looking and seeing the old roof line and even some of the old shingles are still on it. (Moving houses) was done surprisingly often in the old days. The house next north of the fire house used to be much closer to North Broadway. And, going up Castle Heights, the first house after the Village Hall used to be a half a block away on the East side of Broadway. It was moved up there by Justin Du Pratt White when he built the big house that is now Summit School. Then across the street in what is now the Heiders' house - the big, brown Victorian house, was built by James Voorhis, who was owner of the boatyard at one time, there was actually a little 13-foot square building right out on the sidewalk. You can still see the concrete foundation, and it's identified on old maps of the neighborhood as a butcher shop. And indeed, the Heiders found meathooks in the 13-foot square building attached to their garage in back, so it looks as though perhaps either that was a store room for the butcher shop, or it was the actual butcher shop that had been moved back of the house at a later date. The old store on the corner of School Street - the building is still there. There's not currently a retail store tenant in it, but Gina and Olaf who own the building, do intend to rent it out again, in the future, as a store. There are periods in its history when it was divided in half - I remember when there was a candy store in one half and a liquor store in the other half, when I was a child - catering to the vices of all ages. When my grandfather had a store there, he sold merchandise on 2 floors, which is quite hard to visualize today. Then, in their side yard, to the north of the building, was a little structure that was an office of the steamboat company. You could buy your ticket there for a ride from Van Houten's Landing to Manhattan and back. One of the most interesting historic documents that has come to light recently, is a contract between the Rockland Steamboat Association and John Van Houten, to build a steamboat. They paid him some cash, but also gave him the privilege of collecting some fares from passengers from Upper Nyack bound for New York City - part of the deal. It described the steamboat in quite some detail - that was to be built here. There were boats engaged in commercial freight business. They used this as their home port. Some of them were called packets. I think that for the most part they didn't follow a set schedule. Like a trucker, they would make a trip when they had a load to take somewhere. I don't think there was ever a regular ferry from here. Some of the boosters of the neighborhood in the early 19th century thought that this was going to be the center of transportation rather than Nyack. The first church was built here, and the first road over the mountain was the Old Mountain Road in Upper Nyack. It was a big deal to build Route 59 - originally the Nyack Turnpike - because they had to conquer the West Nyack Swamp in order to get across the county. So a lot of early traffic really turned west at this point. Some of the local boosters thought it was going to be the center of Nyack, but they got it wrong. The houses on School Street were built about 1885, or the late 1880s by James Voorhis, who also built the big brown Victorian house on the corner of Broadway and School Street - and for that matter, the store on the north corner. The obvious guess is that he was building homes primarily for his employees. It became like a little company town. He would pay them on Friday and collect the money back again on Saturday. But they have been very desirable homes for people - starter homes, homes for people who didn't need a big house, homes for older people - a very happy part of the community. People wonder about the strange juxtaposition of row houses with bigger homes, but it has really worked out fine. I think the expression, "the under the hill gang" was invented by John Lodico, whom you must talk with - He tells very good stories. The Van Houten Steet and Ellen Street and Lower Castle Heights area was commonly called "under the hill" when I was a child. My Aunt Laura, who lived here, used the term. Judging from what John says, I guess people down the hill used it about themselves. In the 1940s, when I was growing up, and I guess perhaps for a generation before, it was almost entirely Italian Americans. They said it reminded them of hill towns in Italy, facing the water that way. They felt very much at home there, and a number of families started out as laborers in the construction business and worked their way up in business. We had a court secretary, court stenographer, and of course by the third generation the kids were all going to college and into a variety of professions. It has appealed to creative people - we've had a variety of visual artists and the other arts - film makers and theater people. So something about the neighborliness of the small homes close to the river, the view of the river, is very appealing. Recorded at the Perry home April 3, 2004

Sacramento County voters will cast a heftier-than-usual ballot to decide some weighty issues on Nov. 6, from Rancho Cordova cardroom taxes to the leader of the free world.
The ballot, flush with at least a dozen regional measures and 11 state propositions, along with U.S. presidential candidates, will fill two 19-inch-long cards.
Meanwhile, in the city of Sacramento, a third card was added just for a proposed city charter commission because it includes the names of 54 candidates. The top 15 vote-getters would make the commission if city residents approve it.
Elk Grove will vote in its first directly elected mayor's race, while voters in the city of Sacramento will decide on the future of yard waste pickup either by cans or "the Claw" and whether to increase the sales tax from 7.75 percent to 8.25 percent to pay for public safety, parks and libraries.
Two Sacramento City Council runoff contests the races for the north area's District 2 and for District 4 Land Park, the central city and part of South Natomas will also appear on the ballot.
There are school board races in the region, a contested judgeship in El Dorado County and a rare countywide library tax proposed for El Dorado.
Jill LaVine, Sacramento County registrar of voters, predicted the election will be marked by high voter turnout and a good amount of vote-by-mail returns, even though voters will be asked to place two postage stamps on their mail-in ballots because of the added weight.
LaVine said the county has cracked down on past fraudulent registration practices that changed voters' political parties. And unlike some other states that have been in the news for voter-registration photo-ID requirements, Californians should know those rules don't apply here, LaVine said.
Why is this ballot so long?
It's a November election and a presidential election. On November elections, we include local districts, such as water and school districts. Then you add 11 state propositions and local measures, local candidates and state representatives. Not all voters will see all of these, depending on where you live.
Why are you asking for two 45-cent postage stamps to be applied to mail-in ballots?
It weighs over an ounce. We barely squeaked by with one stamp for the June ballot. We understand people may get upset about this, so we are encouraging people to bring in ballots to one of our 14 drop-off sites.
We've increased the number of drop-off sites and extended the hours. People can bring in their ballots during the hours the office is open. The locations of the sites are listed in their sample ballot, or they can go to our website: www.elections.saccounty.net.
What are some noteworthy contests and issues in the election?
We have a lot of local tax measures, including a user tax in Citrus Heights to raise money for police and youth programs, a cardroom tax in Rancho Cordova for the general fund, and several bonds for school districts for classroom upgrades. In Sacramento city, voters will be deciding on a charter commission, and in Elk Grove, they are having their first directly elected mayor.
What is the last day for registering to vote for this election?
Oct. 22 is the last day to register in California. There are other states that allow registration on Election Day, but we are waiting for a statewide voter-registration system to kick in.
After the Florida situation in the 2000 election, with the chads and the ballots that were disqualified, Congress decided states needed to get their voter databases cleaned up. They passed the Help America Vote Act, which would help states create single computerized databases maintained by the state, instead of by local offices.
They have been working on one for California now for 10 years. Most states got on board within two to four years. I believe California is the last one to get one. They hope to have it by 2014, but it may be 2015.
So for this election, there is no Election Day registration. It must be postmarked by Oct. 22, or you can just go on online and register.
Have you been encountering any fraudulent registration practices that switch political parties of voters without their consent or knowledge?
We had some instances of that in the June election, but very few cases this time.
When people are paid by the piece for new registrations, they get extremely creative in what they do. We've found false names, false Social Security numbers, one employee even submitted her dead grandmother's name.
It happens on both sides (Republican or Democrat.) If someone doesn't check the box on their card for their political party, they fill in the party they are getting paid by.
What kind of voter turnout do you envision?
I can't make an official prediction yet, because the mail-in ballots haven't even been mailed out yet. I'm hoping for a huge turnout, though. We had 79 percent voter turnout in the last presidential election in November 2008.
Anything's better than June's election, when we had 36 percent. That was the lowest presidential primary turnout since we started keeping track in 1930.
How many vote-by-mail ballots are you mailing out, and when?
We are sending out 55 percent of our file, which means 360,000 vote-by-mail ballots will go out next week. That's a huge number and we're hoping for them to mail them back or drop them off early. If they drop them off at the polls on Election Day, we can't count them early. We start mailing them Tuesday, Oct. 9, and they have to be back in our hands by 8 p.m. on election night, Nov. 6.
What do registered voters need to bring with them to the polls to vote?
Nothing. I know there are lots of states that are requiring a photo ID, but in California, no ID is required.

Their footsteps can lead us
One day, a few years into the future, the Local Legends Walk of Fame will lead us from the corner of Ninth Street and Wabash Avenue all the way to the banks of the Wabash River.
It will be lined with metal plaques imbedded in the sidewalk and it will serve to inspire those who want to learn from Terre Haute's history — its leaders, thinkers, creators, artisans.
Eight more legends were added to the list of Walk of Famers last week as the three-year total rises to 22 inductees, inductees such as Root, Guerin, Hulman, Rose, Dreiser, Crothers, Debs, Wooden, Harrison — a saint and a president among them.
Those who have started and sustained this effort deserve the community's thanks for a job continually well done.
To see criteria and find a nomination form, go to www.terrehautewalkoffame.org.
It would be music to his ears
Richard Landini, Indiana State University's eighth president, was fiercely loyal to the university he led for 17 years. Suffer the person who dared praise a red-and-white or black-and-gold school in Landini's midst. An earful could follow, for he was convinced that ISU, too, had greatness.
After he left administration, Landini continued to diligently serve ISU — and the cause of learning — as a professor of English. Students who took his classes say he was an excellent, informed, insistent, involved teacher who made the topic come alive. Many of the recent physical and aesthetic changes that have transformed ISU from a concrete campus to one celebrating pedestrian-friendly green space and outdoor art began on Landini's watch — and have been extended by each succeeding president, Messrs. Moore, Benjamin and Bradley.
Landini devoted more than a quarter of his life to ISU, and renaming a building as grand, as cultural, as instruction-based as the Center for Performing and Fine Arts in his honor — as ISU did earlier this month — is fitting and deserved.
Feeding a genuine need
It is jarring to know that so many in our communities need so much help with the basics of life — food, shelter, employment. Such is the nature of our current economy. Thousands in our midst are literally days away from being destitute; thousands more already are.
Fortunately, caring agencies such as Covenant Cooperative Ministries have stepped up to offer help. Last week, hundreds lined up to get food brought to CCM by Feed the Children, a group we are more used to seeing help the poor of Appalachia or of the Third World.
Some may see such food distributions as private social welfare. We see it as neighbors helping neighbors, and we applaud CCM — and many other agencies that didn't make headlines last week — for their tireless, selfless efforts.
Want to help? CCM needs volunteers to help with its work. To learn more, visit its office at 122 S. 101⁄2 St. or see its website, www.convenantcoopministry.org.

'sober' Party Is Actually Fun!
Kids in Carmel and Pacific Grove shocked to learn that parents and teachers know how to be 'cool.'
Thursday, June 19, 2003
It is night in the village of Asta La Vista and the gossamer sky is lit by white evening stars. A fountain trickles in the center of town, surrounded by sleek wooden benches, created for the villagers by the Pacific Grove High School shop class.
Wood-beamed adobes border the town square. Rich with color, each opens its doors to a different kind of fun.
The casino proves to be the hot spot--roulette, craps, blackjack and poker are the preferred modes of entertainment. A steady line of anxious grads wait to hear what fortune teller Lee Ann Luongo foresees. At midnight, the festivities reach a climax when hypnotist Travis Cox turns some of the male villagers into laboring pregnant women and one lucky village girl into Britney Spears.
Tonight there is a fantasy island tucked away in America''s Last Hometown, providing giddy graduates a safe place to celebrate their final day of high school. Between the sky and the adobes, I can see the words "Spirit" and "Pride" painted in the signature red and gold. It''s Electric plays in the background.
Earlier, the Pacific Grove High School campus was abuzz with young men and women in their spring best. Many of the soon-to-be PGHS Alumni had already donned their fluid red gowns; others held them proudly under one arm.
They arrived beaming, some with glowing parents in tow, others with friends and fellow graduates. One cruised past Asilomar on a moped, a flash of scarlet flying behind him in the breeze.
High school graduation, the consummation of a four-year-long love-hate relationship, can precede a party to remember--for those who can actually remember it the next day. For many graduating seniors, it can be an excuse to get wasted. But that was not what these grads had in mind. Nor did the hundred or so volunteers who vowed to make the night special--and sober.
"The kids are gonna love it," announced Lisa Hanes, who is introduced as "the food lady."
"We have candy, games, a tattoo artist. We''re going to feed them all night long."
A burly man with a big beard, bus driver John Stanton (aka Big John), says it''s his third year helping with the Sober Graduation party. He says he was up until midnight last Friday, putting up the ceiling. "It''s the most difficult part of decorating," he says, "but it makes such a difference."
A lot of parents, teachers and volunteers spent a lot of time working to turn this high school gym into a Mexican town. While this kind of effort might be expected to raise teenaged eyebrows in pained embarrassment, the opposite has happened. A small miracle has occurred. The kids actually think it''s cool.
"You''d be surprised what you can do with carpet rolls and cardboard," says Karen Rodriguez.
Rodriguez and fellow volunteers work year-round to fundraise and organize. Planning for the decorations starts in January. In the week leading up to the event, 13-hour days allow just enough time to complete the finishing touches.
Rodriguez has been involved with Sober Graduation since her son was a freshman. She stayed involved after he graduated in 2001, and this year she is the chairperson.
"We have about 100 volunteers and five really strong committees," she says, standing under an outdoor heater. "A lot of people in the community help out by providing donations. But it''s a lot harder to get people to stay to clean up.
For all the fun, games and trips to the pool, Sober Graduation is not just about having fun. "Since it started in ''92," she points out, "there hasn''t been a single alcohol-related death at the school."
"It''s a pretty important thing," agrees Valerie Tingley, mother of a 2001 graduate and an incoming freshman. "That''s why I stay involved."
"My daughter loved it; she told me it was the last opportunity for her to just play with kids she''s known since the second grade. She said to me, ''College is for drinking. I just want to enjoy my last days at high school.''"
The goal for the event is to get graduates to come and stay the entire night. "What we''d really like for senior raffle next year is a car," Tingley says. "We really want to get kids to stay until 5am. They have to be present to win, so we''d like something for the senior raffle that would get kids to stay all night."
Inside the village at 11:30pm, it seems to be working.
"It really doesn''t look like our gym," Lindsay Reese exclaims as we ogle a couple of her fellow graduates turned blow-up Sumo wrestlers. "It''s really fun here. I didn''t think I''d be awake for this part, but I''m having fun."
"I think it''s great," Katie Miller says after returning to the casino from a trip to the pool. "There''s a lot to do. The food is good. It''s fun.
"I looked forward to it. There''s always rumor about what the theme will be. It''s really special to see all the parents and PTA do so much just for one night. It''s the last time you get to see everybody."
"You have to stay for the hypnotist show," Chantel Brischke volunteers.
I hit up the coffee bar. One Dixie-cup latte, straight up, please.
While sitting in wait, I am approached by Nick Villareal. He asks me if I''m a student. I tell him no, just a reporter, and ask him what he thinks about the party.
"It''s a lot better than getting drunk," he says. "You see a lot of people here that you see at parties that are totally wasted. It''s nice to see them here, mature enough to enjoy themselves without being drunk."
I think: If only more guys my age thought that way. I don''t want to leave. I feel guilty about having so much fun. At that moment, glowing in the light of the stars, atop brown metal folding chairs, two cute, female grads make the Macarena seem hip.
The next day, at Carmel High School, I get a glimpse of the process of putting together a Sober Graduation Party.
John Edwards, who, along with his wife Vickie has volunteered his time for this event for the past six years, says enticing high-school seniors to a party can be a serious challenge.
"To get the ones that go out and get wild, you need to put a carrot out there," Edwards said.
It doesn''t hurt to have Ray Parks, a local architect, help formulate a blueprint. The most basic construction costs, Edwards explained, are around $5,000, but it''s the donations and time spent by volunteers that is the most valuable.
"It becomes a great community builder," he says. "There''s something special about working together."
As in PG, planning for the event occurs throughout the year here at Carmel High, and includes teacher participation and involvement in the project.
"Historically, this was put on by the parents of undergrads to allow senior parents to have the time to enjoy the kids before they go," Edwards says. "It''s especially a chance for the men to get involved. Russ Campbell, for example, whose daughter is graduating, is here every night. It''s everybody. At one time there are seven families helping out."
On Friday the 13th, one week after my visit to Asta La Vista, I was finally off to Never, Never Land--a fantasy world filled with pirates, Tinkerbell and Lost Boys. On my way out, Edwards stopped me in the doorway. He began to tell me about a 23-year-old Carmel graduate who died recently in an automobile accident.
"Something like that affects the whole community. In 11 years, not one kid has died. How much is that worth?"
Carmel High is holding a fundraiser for next year''s sober grad party on Sunday, June 27. Call 659-8505.

Paramus police officers injured during arrest of fraud suspects at mall www.privateofficer.com
Paramus NJ June 28 2011 An arrest attempt Saturday at the Garden State Plaza sent two Paramus Police officers to the hospital, one with a broken nose.
Officers Keith Bland and Robert Brack were trying to arrest Preston Bryant, 43, and Chermaine Quinones, 40, after the New York residents allegedly tried to buy a $10,575 watch with a fake credit card at Ross Simon Jewelry, reports said. Bryant tried to run, but was caught by Bland and Brack, reports said.
But as they tried to restrain him, Bryant, who is 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, started punching, kicking and biting the officers, reports said. A mall security officer called Paramus Police for backup, reports said.
The police were able to subdue Bryant after more officers arrived. Quinones didn't resist arrest, reports said.
Brack and Bland were sent to Hackensack University Medical Center for treatment. Brack suffered a broken nose, injured neck and several bite marks on his arms, and will be out of work indefinitely.
Bland also received several bite marks, but returned to work.
Bryant was charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, fraudulent use of a credit card, possession of a stolen credit card and identity theft. He was sent to Bergen County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail.
Quinones was charged with conspiracy to commit credit card fraud and conspiracy to commit theft by deception. She was sent to Bergen County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.

Bats and sloths are the only known vertebrates that do not develop osteoarthritis.
The reason these mammals are "immune" to the condition is simply because of the amount of time they spend just "hanging out"...upside down, that is! Osteoarthritis, the degeneration of joints, has even appeared in the fossils of dinosaurs, mammoths and extinct fish! We're not sure exactly what causes osteoarthritis, though it is usually associated with aging. You can learn more about Osteoarthritis and how it works here.
Oddly enough, ground sloths, the extinct cousins of modern sloths, did get osteoarthritis. Unlike today's sloths, who hang in trees, ground sloths walked around on the ground. Preserved ground sloth remains discovered in tar pits have shown that these prehistoric sloths were susceptible to osteoarthritis in their neck vertebra.

How do hemerrhoid ointments work
I've had hemorrhoids for around 5 years which and a couple of weeks ago they got bad enough that there was blood on the toilet paper every time I wiped so I went to the doctor thinking I would have to organise a hospital visit to get the hemorrhoid surgically removed but he just prescribed me an ointment. The active compounds in the ointment are prednisone, a steroid antiinflammatory and cinchocaine, a local anasthetic. I didn't think it was gonna work, I thought those compounds would just remedy the symptoms temporarily but it seems to have more of less healed the problem. No more blood on the toilet paper, when I insert my finger in there to apply the ointment, I can't even feel the hemorrhoids any more.
How does it work? Is the idea to reduce the swelling with the prednisone so that the body can heal the problem? Whats the cinchocaine for? Is it just to temporariily remedy the pain? |

Homework Help |
You are basically correct - the cremes treat the symptoms and the body takes care of the rest. Persistence can be due to a feedback effect - where the pain causes swelling which causes more pain which... etc. So, reducing the swelling and pain will break the cycle.
Since the body can usually deal with hemorrhoids by itself, but the condition is annoying and treatment slow, there are a lot of naturopathic and herbal "remedies" on the market which do pretty much the same or (more usually) less. An accessible overview is: http://www.health.harvard.edu/newswe...about_them.htm They have to get pretty bad for surgery to be needed. |

Heinrich Heine
Emma Lazarus, 1849 - 1887
In the German Jewish poet Heine, Emma Lazarus found an important kinship and inspiration. Her interest in him spanned the course of her career. From her early translations to her essay "The Poet Heine," which appeared in The Century three years before her death, he was a constant subject.
His work, like her own, ranged from the romantic to the overtly political and satirical. She also described Heine's Jewish identity much as she described her own: "No enthusiast for the Hebrew faith,...he was none the less eager to proclaim himself an enthusiast for the rights of the Jews and their civil equality."
As Lazarus explains, Heine felt the pressure and pull of different worlds on his art:
He was a Jew, with the mind and eyes of a Greek....In Heine the Jew there is a depth of human sympathy, a mystic warmth and glow of imagination... an indomitable resistance to every species of bondage.... On the other hand, the Greek Heine...[possesses] a pure and healthy love of art for art's own sake, with which the somber Hebrew was in perpetual conflict.
This description provides a useful key towards understanding Emma Lazarus's own work. She too moved between celebrating Greek myths like Admetus and legendary Hebrew scholars like Rashi. And she believed in both the ideals of art for art's sake and poetry that called for social justice.
- For Lazarus's quote on Heine's Jewish identity, see Selections from Her Poetry and Prose, ed. Morris U. Schappes (New York: Cooperative Book League, 1944) 87. (Note: page numbers vary in later reprints of Selections; see p. 91 in 1967 edition)
- On Lazarus's own feelings about her Jewish identity, see Emma Lazarus, "My dear Doctor Gottheil," 25 February 1877, The Letters of Emma Lazarus, 1868-1885, ed. Morris U. Schappes (New York, New York Public Library, 1949) 21.
- For Lazarus's quote on Heine's dual nature, see Selections 90. (see p.93 in 1967 edition)

Esophageal atresia is a rare congenital disorder in which the esophagus does not develop properly. This disorder is often detected before birth through ultrasound examinations. If not, the disorder is diagnosed at birth.
In 85 percent of cases, the esophagus does not connect with the lower esophagus and stomach. Sometimes the top of the esophagus connects with the windpipe and can cause food to be whisked into the windpipe and can cause choking and gagging.
Surgery is usually performed to connect the esophagus with the stomach and upper esophagus so that the baby can drink milk or formula and receive nutrition via their mouths. In the cases where the esophagus is connected to the windpipe, it is surgically disconnected to ensure that the child does not aspirate food into their airways while eating or drinking.
Children usually recover from this four-hour, life-saving surgical procedure quite well and are eating normally by the time they reach the age of one.

Facebook has recently been under fire for their "Sponsored Stories" feature, and the class-action lawsuit which was set to settle the matter 2 months ago has now been revised after a judge expressed his concern with the last deal made.
The new deal made with Facebook by the class-action attorneys penalizes the company for its wrongdoing, and redirects the funds to a noble cause. Facebook will be paying out up to $10 for each user who filed a complaint and found their face on one of Facebook's "Sponsored Stories" listings. Most of the collected money will be pooled and given to charity – a much better deal than the original, which was set to pay ten million US dollars to attorneys and ten million to involved organizations.
The "Sponsored Stories" Issue Explained
The class-action lawsuit arose from Facebook's "Sponsored Stories" feature- a feature which displays certain profiles as endorsers/sponsors of certain pages once they like the page. These sponsored stories were shown not only on Facebook feeds, but also on external websites which have Facebook pages; if you recently liked a page on Facebook there's a good chance your face was displayed as a sponsor for that page. Attorneys argue that users were not given enough fore-warning that their "Likes" would be shared, and their inability to opt-out of the feature made it impermissible.
In response to the class-action lawsuit Facebook has agreed to give adult profiles the ability to control how their profile pictures are used by the company. They don't however give adults the option to completely opt-out of the feature; only children will be given the option to completely opt-out.
