Save Our Own The critical role of the rapid intervention crew
NFPA Journal, July/August 2010
One of the most dreaded radio transmissions on the fireground is an emergency traffic call from a firefighter for assistance. The emergency traffic, or mayday, call presents a challenge to everyone operating at a fire because there is a tendency for everyone to abandon their assignments when a mayday is declared and go to the aid of the firefighters requesting assistance. The incident commander (IC) must maintain control, while on-scene units exercise discipline and the rapid intervention crew (RIC) locates, protects, provides air for, extricates, removes, and provides medical care for the downed firefighters.
May - June 2010 More emphasis should be placed on protecting off-campus housing
March - April 2010 Planning for fires in theaters, stadiums, and other entertainment venues
January - February 2010 Planning for a large fire in an occupied convention center
November - December 2009 Handling, and planning for, the reality of overcrowded nightspots
September - October 2009 Why blazes in houses of worship can be especially challenging for firefighters
July - August 2009 Knowing a building's intended use is key to developing strategy and tactics
Rescuing downed firefighters is the specific mission of the RIC. The RIC must be adequately staffed, well trained, properly equipped, and under the direction of a competent leader. Minimum RIC requirements are contained in NFPA 1500, Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program; NFPA 1710, Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by Career Fire Departments; NFPA 1720, Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by Volunteer Fire Departments; and OSHA Standard 29CFR1910,134g4, Occupational Safety and Health Standards on Personal Protective Equipment, Respiratory Protection, Procedures for Interior Structural Firefighting. An initial rapid intervention crew (IRIC) of at least two members is required before firefighters enter a building to fight a fire that is beyond the incipient stage, unless there is a reasonable expectation of saving a life.
Fire departments must address RIC operations in their standard operating procedures. There are several theories on how best to conduct RIC functions, with subsequent differences in RIC procedures. In our opinion, each RIC procedure has merit, as well as potential disadvantages.
Some departments require RIC members to stand by at a fixed location near an access point so that all members of the RIC are immediately available for deployment. Others assign the RIC to survey the exterior of the building while improving emergency egress by placing ladders, removing evacuation impediments, and taking other measures to facilitate self-evacuation. A third option is to stage some RIC members at a fixed location while others survey the building and improve exits. The advantage of this approach is that an RIC rescue operation can begin immediately while still providing better egress for interior firefighters and familiarizing the RIC with the building layout. RIC members assigned to survey the building and remove impediments should not enter the fire building.
Providing sufficient RIC staffing can be challenging, as a minimum of two firefighters must be assigned to the IRIC. Staffing should be increased to a minimum of four as soon as additional units arrive. Typically, RICs staffed by four firefighters are adequate when operating at small, uncomplicated building fires where firefighters can be quickly found and easily removed. When downed firefighters are deep within larger buildings and require extrication or other time- and air-consuming measures, four-member RICs will often be insufficient. After losing a firefighter at the Southwest Supermarket fire in 2001, the Phoenix Fire Department conducted extensive training to determine needed RIC staffing. Based on a subsequent investigation, RIC staffing was dramatically increased.
Fire departments must learn from their positive and negative experiences through post-incident analysis and by studying fire investigation reports, attending training programs, and reviewing other departments' standard operating procedures. Most importantly, they must focus on tactics, risk management, and other safety measures aimed at preventing the mayday call.

What is it?
Aloe (often called aloe vera) produces two substances, gel and latex, which are used for medicines. Aloe gel is the clear, jelly-like substance found in the inner part of the aloe plant leaf. Aloe latex comes from just under the plant's skin and is yellow in color. Some aloe products are made from the whole crushed leaf, so they contain both gel and latex. The aloe that is mentioned in the Bible is an unrelated fragrant wood used as incense.
Aloe medications can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin. Aloe gel is taken by mouth for osteoarthritis, bowel diseases including ulcerative colitis, fever, itching and inflammation, and as a general tonic. It is also used for stomach ulcers, diabetes, asthma, and for treating some side effects of radiation treatment.
But most people use aloe gel topically, as a remedy for skin conditions including burns, sunburn, frostbite, psoriasis, and cold sores. Some people also use aloe gel to help surgical wounds and bedsores heal faster. There is some science supporting these uses. Some chemicals in aloe gel seem to be able to increase circulation in the tiny blood vessels in the skin, as well as kill bacteria. Together, these effects suggest that aloe gel might be effective in speeding wound healing. But it's too early to come to that conclusion. Evidence is contradictory. One study suggests that aloe gel may actually delay wound healing.
Some people take aloe latex by mouth, usually for constipation. Less often, aloe latex is used orally for epilepsy, asthma, colds, bleeding, absence of menstrual periods, colitis, depression, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, bursitis, osteoarthritis, and glaucoma and other vision problems.
But taking aloe latex by mouth is likely unsafe, especially at high doses. There is some concern that some of the chemicals found in aloe latex might cause cancer. Additionally, aloe latex is hard on the kidneys and could lead to serious kidney disease and even death.
A number of years ago, the FDA became concerned about the safety of aloe latex, which was an ingredient in many laxatives. The FDA's concern was heightened by the fact that people develop a kind of "tolerance" to aloe latex. They have to take more and more of it to get a laxative effect. That means they are likely to increase their dose -- and their risk. The FDA requested safety data from the makers of laxatives that contained aloe latex, but they didn't comply, possibly because of the expense involved in doing safety studies. In the absence of safety data, the FDA required manufacturers to remove or reformulate all over-the-counter (OTC) laxative products in the U.S. market that contained aloe. The deadline for compliance was November 5, 2002.
How effective is it?
Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database
rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate.
The effectiveness ratings for
are as follows:
Possibly effective for...
. Applying a cream containing 0.5% aloe for four weeks seems to reduce the skin "plaques" associated with psoriasis.
. Taking aloe latex by mouth can reduce constipation and cause diarrhea. It takes about 10 hours for aloe latex to cause a bowel movement. With continued use, increasing doses are needed for the same laxative effect. That's because aloe latex causes a loss of potassium from cells lining the intestine. This results in a kind of paralysis of the walls of the intestine, literally making a bowel movement difficult. Taking large doses of aloe latex or using for a long time can be dangerous. That's why the FDA took laxatives that contained aloe latex off the market in 2002.
Insufficient evidence to rate effectiveness for...
. Applying aloe gel to the skin might improve healing of certain types of burns called "partial thickness burns."
. There is conflicting information about whether aloe can reduce blood sugar in people with diabetes. Two studies indicate that taking aloe gel by mouth can reduce blood sugar in women with type 2 diabetes. But another study did not show the same benefit.
. When applied to the skin, aloe gel seems to help skin survive frostbite injury.
Cold sores
. There is some evidence that applying aloe extract 0.5% cream 3 times daily increases healing rates compared to aloe gel or a cream without active ingredients.
High cholesterol and other blood fats (hyperlipidemia)
. Preliminary evidence suggests that taking 10 mL or 20 mL of aloe orally daily for 12 weeks can reduce total cholesterol by about 15%, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by about 18%, and triglycerides by about 25% to 30% in people with hyperlipidemia.
. Preliminary evidence suggests that applying aloe gel does not improve the healing rate of bedsores compared to management with gauze moistened with salt water.
Skin damage caused by radiation treatment for cancer
. So far, applying aloe gel to skin during and after radiation treatment doesn't seem to reduce skin damaged caused by the radiation. However, there is some evidence that aloe gel might delay the appearance of skin damage.
Ulcerative colitis
. Preliminary evidence suggests that some people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis who take aloe gel 25-50 mL twice daily have significantly reduced symptoms.
Wound healing
. There is conflicting information about whether aloe works to improve wound healing. Some research shows that applying an aloe gel product (Carrington Dermal Wound Gel) to surgical wounds might actually delay wound healing. But other research using a different form of aloe cream applied to hemorrhoid-related wounds shows that aloe might improve wound healing and provide some pain relief.
Other conditions
More evidence is needed to rate aloe for these uses.
How does it work?
Return to top
The useful parts of aloe are the gel and latex. The gel is obtained from the cells in the center of the leaf; and the latex is obtained from the cells just beneath the leaf skin.
Aloe gel might cause changes in the skin that might help diseases like psoriasis.
Aloe seems to be able to speed wound healing by improving blood circulation through the area and preventing cell death around a wound.
It also appears that aloe gel has properties that are harmful to certain types of bacteria and fungi.
Aloe latex contains chemicals that work as a laxative.
Are there safety concerns?
Return to top
Aloe gel is
when applied to the skin and
when taken by mouth in adults. Once in a while aloe gel might cause burning and itching of the skin.
Taking aloe latex is
at any dose, but
when taken in high doses. Aloe latex can cause some side effects such as stomach pain and cramps. Long-term use of large amounts of aloe latex might cause diarrhea, kidney problems, blood in the urine, low potassium, muscle weakness, weight loss, and heart disturbances. Taking aloe latex 1 gram per day for several days can be fatal.
There have been a few reports of liver problems in some people who have taken an aloe leaf extract; however, this is uncommon. It is thought to only occur in people who are extra sensitive (hypersensitive) to aloe.
Special precautions & warnings:
Pregnancy or breast-feeding
: Aloe -- either gel or latex -- is
when taken by mouth. There is a report that aloe was associated with miscarriage. It could also be a risk for birth defects. Do not take aloe by mouth if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
: Aloe is
for children when taken by mouth. Children younger than 12 years old may experience abdominal pain, cramps, and diarrhea.
: Some research suggests aloe might lower blood sugar. If you take aloe by mouth and you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar levels closely.
Intestinal conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or obstruction
: Do not take aloe latex if you have any of these conditions. Aloe latex is a bowel irritant. Remember, products made from whole aloe leaves will contain some aloe latex.
: Do not take aloe latex if you have hemorrhoids. It could make the condition worse. Remember, products made from whole aloe leaves will contain some aloe latex.
Kidney problems
: High doses of aloe latex have been linked to kidney failure and other serious conditions.
: Aloe might affect blood sugar levels and could interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop taking aloe at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
Are there interactions with medications?
Return to top
Do not take this combination.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
When taken by mouth, aloe latex is a type of laxative called a stimulant laxative. Stimulant laxatives can decrease potassium levels in the body. Low potassium levels can increase the risk of side effects of digoxin (Lanoxin).
Be cautious with this combination.
Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs)
Aloe gel might decrease blood sugar. Diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar. Taking aloe gel along with diabetes medications might cause your blood sugar to go too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed.
Some medications used for diabetes include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others.
Medications taken by mouth (Oral drugs)
When taken by mouth, aloe latex is a laxative. Laxatives can decrease how much medicine your body absorbs. Taking aloe latex along with medications you take by mouth might decrease the effectiveness of your medication.
Sevoflurane (Ultane)
Aloe might decrease clotting of the blood. Sevoflurane is used as anesthesia during surgery. Sevoflurane also decreases clotting of the blood. Taking aloe before surgery might cause increased bleeding during the surgical procedure. Do not take aloe by mouth if you are having surgery within 2 weeks.
Stimulant laxatives
When taken orally, aloe latex is a type of laxative called a stimulant laxative. Stimulant laxatives speed up the bowels. Taking aloe latex along with other stimulant laxatives could speed up the bowels too much and cause dehydration and low minerals in the body.
Some stimulant laxatives include bisacodyl (Correctol, Dulcolax), cascara, castor oil (Purge), senna (Senokot), and others.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
When taken orally, aloe latex is a type of laxative called a stimulant laxative. Stimulant laxatives speed up the bowels and can cause diarrhea in some people. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding. If you take warfarin, do not take excessive amounts of aloe latex.
Water pills (Diuretic drugs)
When taken by mouth, aloe latex is a laxative. Some laxatives can decrease potassium in the body. "Water pills" can also decrease potassium in the body. Taking aloe latex along with "water pills" might decrease potassium in the body too much.
Some "water pills" that can decrease potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, HydroDIURIL, Microzide), and others.
Are there interactions with herbs and supplements?
Return to top
Herbs and supplements that can lower blood sugar
Aloe might lower blood sugar. If it is taken along with other herbs and supplements that might lower blood sugar, blood sugar might get too low in some people. Some herbs and supplements that might lower blood sugar include alpha-lipoic acid, bitter melon, chromium, devil's claw, fenugreek, garlic, guar gum, horse chestnut, Panax ginseng, psyllium, Siberian ginseng, and others.
Herbs containing cardiac glycosides
Aloe can decrease the amount of potassium in the body. This can be a special problem for the heart if aloe is taken along with other herbs that contain chemicals (cardiac glycosides) that affect the electrical system of the heart. Herbs that contain cardiac glycosides include black hellebore, Canadian hemp roots, digitalis leaf, hedge mustard, figwort, lily of the valley roots, motherwort, oleander leaf, pheasant's eye plant, pleurisy root, squill bulb leaf scales, and strophanthus seeds.
Using aloe along with horsetail increases the risk of lowering potassium levels too much.
Using aloe along with licorice rhizome increases the risk of lowering potassium levels too much.
Stimulant laxative herbs
Using aloe along with other stimulant laxative herbs may increase the risk of lowering potassium levels too much. Stimulant laxative herbs include blue flag rhizome, alder buckthorn, European buckthorn, butternut bark, cascara bark, castor oil, colocynth fruit pulp, gamboge bark exudate, jalap root, black root, manna bark exudate, podophyllum root, rhubarb root, senna leaves and pods, and yellow dock root.
Are there interactions with foods?
Return to top
There are no known interactions with foods.
What dose is used?
Return to top
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
For constipation: 100-200 mg aloe or 50 mg aloe latex taken in the evening; however, it might not be safe to take aloe latex for this use.
For psoriasis: Aloe extract 0.5% cream applied 3 times daily.

My name's Lon Sarver, and welcome to my blog. It's about imagination and fantasy, and how these enrich our lives.
Without getting too metaphorical or esoteric, I can say this: Everything we have, at least everything that wasn't native to wherever we are before we got there, is a product of imagination. All of human culture started inside the head (or heads, for those things invented independently at different times and places) of someone, somewhen. It was an inkling, an urge, an image before it was manifest. Without imagination, we'd all still be sleeping up in the trees where the lions couldn't get to us. We'd be eating fruit and nuts and grubs and wondering just what the hell Bob meant when he waved his arms and said, "Ook eek ah ah aaaah!"
So thank the gods for imagination. Or, perhaps, thank imagination for the gods; it's a chicken-and-egg problem, really. But, I'm getting ahead of myself.
From the ages of ten to eighteen, I lived in a small town in north-eastern Iowa. I can't say that I didn't have friends, but the few I did lived far enough out of town that I rarely saw them, except at school. This made for some long afternoons, which I tended to fill with books. I read science fiction and fantasy, mostly, and encyclopedias and atlases when I was between works of fiction. The practical result of all this was that I was certian that there was something more to life than what I was seeing.
Now, this would seem obvious, given that I was living in a town of about 1500 souls in the semi-rural American midwest. But it wasn't just the feeling that if I got on a bus and rode for hours, I'd be someplace bigger and more exciting. It was the feeling that there was someplace else, just around the corner. It was the feeling that there was a bigger universe, right here, right now, and that there was Something there for me to find.
When I wasn't alone with my books, then there was Dungeons and Dragons. My friends and I played whenever we could get together, though we weren't quite sure what we were doing, at first. After a while, we got the hang of it, and had some very fine adventures, sprawled on each others' living room floors.
Given my proclivity towards fantasy, and my sense that there was something more to the world than I was seeing, perhaps it was inevitable that I'd end up Pagan. By the time I went to college, I'd come to realize that the worlds I imagined from my books and in my games made more sense to me, seemed more relevant to my life, than the Bible stories I heard at the church my family attended. While I never went so far as to take Tolkien's books as religious text, I did feel that something in the myth-patterns in those works seemed more real to me than multiplying loaves and fishes and a world-drowning flood.
Imagine my joy when I discovered that there were people who used the myths from which those fantasies drew their resonance to fulfill their spiritual longings. I found people who approached gods I'd only read about in Bulfinch's Mythology and the Deities & Demigods manual as though they were real, as though they were people with whom I could have meaningful relationships. And, even more, when in the passions raised by chanting and dancing and drumming, I could see that something more I'd always been sure existed, but never quite found.
Imagination has been part of my life for a very long time, and I'm all the richer for it. That's why The Experimental Fantasist exists. Sure, I'll be blogging about genre fiction and role playing games and modern Paganism. Really, though, it's about what's Out There, in the realm of Imagination. It's about how I found it, and what I brought back. And I want to share it with you.
This is great! Not at all surprisingly, this is exactly the kind of stuff I like to read about, so...write on!

UK's tallest bovine soars to 6ft 6in
A Friesian bullock who measures a towering 6ft 6in at the shoulder is expected to claim the Guinness World Record for the UK's tallest bovine, the Times reports. Chard Chilli and his twin sister Jubilee were abandoned at Ferne Animal Sanctuary nine years ago, when they were just a few days old. Manager Naomi Clarke explained: " …
World Record?
Surely the world record for the UK's tallest bovine would be the UK record.
Well obviously...
... this story contains a serious load of old bull!
I wonder if the animals were abandoned because they were the result of horrific genetic manipulation, and experimentation into Things Man Was Never Meant To Know? So hard to tell, these days...
Old Cow
Perhaps he has some old genes in him. The Aurochs was a breed of cattle often hunted in prehistory which was much larger than our current breeds...
Ill get my red coat and run for it.
Vegan winn
That is proof that to stop meateaters VEGANs around the world are genetically engineering cattle to grow extra large and start eating humans.
Swedish cow terror!
"Chilli does not have a special diet and eats grass, with the occasional swede as a treat."
Better keep Sven away from him...
Good breeding
This pair need breeding off. Such a shame Friesians are lousy beef cattle. Maybe crossed with a decent meat breed...
What kind of record is that.
Surely it has to be a 'world' record to get in the guiness book of 'world' records.
Otherwise it's not much of record is it.
I reckon that I can break the world record for the most number of press-ups done by anyone in Steves family. Define your group small enough and you can hold any record you like.
Yes, I know it's a bull but..
Looks like they're trying to milk the publicity for all its worth....
@UK record
Perhaps we KNOW it is the tallest in the UK, but the world record isn't known?
The next record...
...surely, it must follow, the UK record for the pat with the widest splat?
Watch out for Greenpeace and the other loony global warming fanatics wanting to slaughter the beast usng its no doubt excesive methane production as an excuse!
Paris, because even she knows it's bollocks.
So nothing to do with all the steroids they pump into the cattle these days.. oops! ...sorry wrong side of the pond!
I'll have ...
.. 10 litres of pepper sauce and a couple of cases of your finest claret. Bring the fillet first, then the sirloin.. then
Deserve It
What does a cow have to do to "deserve" an entry in the Guinness Book of Records?? Is this the same kind of "deserve" you hear so much about on X-Factor?
Cue the sad music;
"Chilli was abandoned as a calf, so devoted his life to eating up his grass every day. He wants to win this word in memory of the mother he hasn't seen in 8 years, where-ever she may be." <Insert shot of sad bovine eye shedding tear, Display vote telephone number>
Government Job?
I hear the NuLab spin doctors will be offering him a job - they have a need for a large amount of bullshit.
Mine's the teflon one.
I'm the tallest man
at this particular address. Can I get a record, too?
Mine's the red one.
Re: Deserve It
Um, I think you may be taking this a smidge seriously, Gav.
Do you need a cuddle?
Cow on a lead
The Times' picture has the cow with a harness around it's nose, with the keeper holding the lead.
Possibly a bit pointless? If that cow decided it was going, I doubt she could do much about it...
Chilli?? Why the name???
Presumably because he's a Friesian... Freezing... chilly.... get it....??
Re Good breeding
If you check out the definition of Bullock, you'll see that he (it?) will not be doing a lot of that
Re: Vegan winn - Beefing things up!
Lets hope he doesn't get together with the lot shown on this link.......
Re: Re: Deserve It
Hi Sarah.
I need a cuddle. You free tonight?
Mines the one with the knife holes in the back, which is the result of Ms Bees reaction to this post.
Steven R
@Mark Jan
> Paris, because even she knows it's bollocks.
That was close - one apostrophe away from a libel suit.
Paris, because she prefers a birthday suit.
RE:Deserve it
/me hands Sarah Bee a tazer to defend herself from the El Reg Pervo-bot army following her after her "cuddle" comment.
Re: RE:Deserve it
> /me hands Sarah Bee a tazer to defend herself from the El Reg Pervo-bot army following her after her "cuddle" comment.
Oh, taze be Sarah...
Yeah, mine's the one with "PBA Member" on the back
The IT Angle
Anonymous Coward>
> the huge amounts of bullshit, what's the IT angle?
The it in bullshit possibly?
@Mark Jan
I think yesterdays times had an article about Estonia taxing farmers on methane emissions.
Crap Beef
As said above, Fresians are not great beef cows, traditionally Dairy, he needs to breed with a good Hereford or something to get some nice Beef, as he is... he'll be sponsored by McDonalds or Cravendale before we know and they'll be milking him all they can....
UK's Biggest Cow
I think it was today's Dail Mail that pointed out that Cherie Blair already holds this record ...
Re: RE:Deserve it
> Taze be to God?
It should have read "Taze me" - Damn this wonky Dell keyboard!
@Alan Edwards
Grass skiing ??
@Scott Mckenzie - You pervert !! The only thing one can "milk" out of a bull....

Wireless Innovators Recognized Along With Release of 2013 Mobile Year in Review Video
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Last night, Mobile Future announced the winners of its mobile innovation competition, The Mobileys.
The Mobileys helps to shine a spotlight on early-stage wireless innovations designed to make the world a better place.

An interface that makes driving safer and drivers less distracted. An early learning mobile app for young children developed by top literacy experts. These are The Mobileys winners:
While in Washington this week to accept their awards, and checks from a $20,000 prize pool, the winners also met with officials at the White House and at the FCC to discuss their innovations.
Along with celebrating these inspirational products, Mobile Future released the 2013 Mobile Year in Review video capturing the groundbreaking milestones from a year of wireless transformation that once again exceeded all expectations.
Among the highlights:
"Mobile connectivity is clearly transforming our world and, as The Mobileys shows, the wireless revolution is equipping us with groundbreaking tools to meet virtually every challenge," said Mobile Future Chair Jonathan Spalter. "With sharply increasing consumer demand for wireless, 2013 showed growth in mobile data usage as well as significant investment in faster networks to keep pace with consumers. There is tremendous opportunity still ahead and with the right policy climate in place, 2014 is sure to make even greater progress toward a bright mobile future."

The truth is many of us lose our way and our authentic connection with God because we are preoccupied with everything else. Often times it's good things like working to make a living in order to take care of our families and sometimes it's even community work and church work that keeps us so busy, exhausted and eventually lost, not knowing where we are or where we are going.

Without a Friday the 13th Winner, Mega Million Jackpot Climbs to $586M
The half-billion-dollar jackpot is now the second highest in the multi-state game's history.
After rolling over 21 times since the Oct. 4 drawing, the jackpot now stands at $586 million for Tuesday's drawing, according to Maryland Lottery officials. The cash option value stands at $316.5 million.
The half-billion-plus-dollar prize is now the second largest in Mega Millions history and the fourth largest in U.S. history, according to a statement from the agency.
Maryland played a role in the distribution of the largest Mega Millions jackpot on record—$656 million—in March 2012, when winning tickets were sold here and in Illinois and Kansas.
Two Marylanders have won jackpots this year, with an Anne Arundel County man claiming $189 million in October and a Mt. Airey couple collecting $26 million in February.
The multistage game is played in 45 states and jurisdictions across the country.

When Pyne Library opened in 1897 [more], such rare books as the Morgan Virgils were shelved in a special room fitted with glass-fronted bookcases. The ground-floor room was the New World offspring of the Old World wunderkammer. Its purpose was public exhibition of private treasures. By extension, the Library's location designator "Ex" (shorthand for "Exhibition Room" [more]) became the designator for the Library's general rare book collection. It remains so down to today. A brief photo essay about the room follows.

Hang tight!
Recipe by PAULA323
"Chewy coconut macaroons using three ingredients BELIEVE me you have to try them! I could never believe my elderly neighbor made these from bread until I tried them myself and I hate condensed milk but not in this recipe!"
Watch video tips and tricks
16 slices white bread
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (7 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
I came across this recipe using the recipe roulette on this site and what a great find! I love macaroons and this is such an easy twist. Instead of letting the bread dry overnight, I first cut up the bread (into 6 instead of 3 to make them more cookie size), then toasted them in the toaster oven. Worked like a charm. Great EASY recipe... can't wait to use for Christmas!
Drizzle some melted chocolate over the tops. These are okay, more of a novelty because they are made with bread. Worth trying at least once. Maybe you can jazz them up a little with your own twist.
7 Ratings
I did not like this recipe at all. Very messy to make and the end result tasted like coconut flavored day old bread. No one in my family cared for them either.
I made this for a simple party, hoping for a tasty recipe with little mess. These cookies DEFINITELY didn't meet my expectations. Needless to say, I will never make these again.
Ohhhh! I remember making these in home economics when I was in school! It definitely appealed to my young sweet tooth! Every once in a while I'll make a teeny batch with some leftover Eagle Brand. Not anything I'd serve to company, but they are one of those things that can satisfy a craving. (We didn't worry about letting the bread get dry and ate them warm and drippy with the sweetened condensed milk.)
I grew up with these as a child. My mother had this recipe in a depression-era cookbooks. It is quite messy to make; I guess that is why my sister and I loved to help out. We have even made this recipe with minced nuts which worked well.
These are easy and very good. When you use this recipe you probably should not expect something worthy of serving to guests, but if you just need a sweet coconut macaroon-y snack, these are the thing. Thanks for helping me use up my leftover condensed milk!

"Shuttle" starts out simply enough. Mel and Jules, two 20-something girls fresh off of a late-night flight home from their Mexican vacation, get stranded at the airport looking for their lost luggage. While there they run in to Seth and Matt, a lady's man and a sweetheart respectively, both of whom were on the same plane. As the girls try to hail a bus home, Seth schemes and convinces Matt to forgo their own ride home in favor of following the girls.
Although it may come as a shocking surprise to those spoiled individuals born under the sign of the digital versatile disc, filmed entertainment was a lot harder to come by when yours truly was warming a seat in the American public education system. Instead of Internet bootlegs and overseas Region-Free DVDs, we had second and third-generation VHS recordings distributed by several great mail-order companies and hundreds of unique individuals at flea markets all across the nation.
Who would win in a fight between Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy?
Haha... I'm not saying I would actually watch this film, I'm just saying I was incredibly amused by the trailer. And hell, I'm sure there are some of you out there willing to brave this kind of low budget stuff. For what it appears to have been shot on, it's definitely an impressive production.
Although I'm hearing British accents here, the internet tells me this is actually a Finnish horror film, something we've been seeing an awful lot of lately. "Skeleton Crew" will hit DVD in the States July 21st, courtesy of Lightning Media.
I was reading about this project last week and was realy intrigued, but decided to wait for a trailer before I talked about it on the site. Well, one popped up this weekend so here we go.
It's a UK Indie film, that essentially looks like what "Castaway" might have been like if it were a horror film. Here's the official synopsis:
Just bringing you the latest in streaming Netflix recommendations. As a Netflix affiliate, if you sign up through us Netflix makes a sizable donation to Bloody Good Horror, and you get the best online movie rental service around. As an added perk, many titles (especially horror for some odd reason) are available for instant streaming online for no extra charge.
While they've never quite made it into the upper tier of horror movie monsters, evil dolls have been a presence in midnight movies for almost as long as genre-staple baddies like vampires and werewolves. They've appeared in undisputed genre classics ("Poltergeist", "Magic"), sustained a few major franchises ("Child's Play", "Saw"), and, maybe the biggest sign you've made it in the horror genre, inspired loads of low-budget schlock ("Waxwork", "Demonic Toys").
Old school horror fans will definitely remember GOREZONE, Fangoria's nasty little brother in the horror magazine biz from the late 80's and early 90's. Back in January, Fangoria announced that they were bringing back GOREZONE in both online and print editions, and the online part of that promise finally launched today.
I've been making a point lately to send you guys in the direction of Indie horror films that actually look good. I'm not in the business of praising everything I see, but I do recognize how hard it is to make something that's actually good on a small budget, so this is me just trying to do my part. I know, I'm so noble.
For my money, it's best to do as much as possible practically. - Ben Rock
For my money, it's best to do as much as possible practically.

So what were the origins of "Alien Raiders"?
It was actually an idea of Dan Myrick's. His idea was to set something fantastic and grandiose like an alien invasion film in the most mundane place of all - a supermarket. The title at the time was actually "Supermarket".
This movie is... weird...
Who could kill a child? Turns out most of us, pretty easily in fact.

Coming Soon: First Pizero's Theme For Maemo 5 Devices!
Wednesday, 12 March 2014 10:49
Certainly, I think most of you would agree with me that PiZero is one of the best Theme designers for the Symbian based handsets and I just can't tell you how excited I am to see that he is already experimenting with Maemo Theme Maker and that his first Maemo 5 is going to be available soon!
His themes are sharp and uncluttered and it's real pleasure to work with. I use PiZero's themes on several S60 devices and I found them very user-friendly and not junked up with a lot of unnecessary elements.
Alfa by PiZero is still under construction and isn't available yet but this green toned theme of spring with beautiful wallpaper of tall grass in Vi... .. .

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
A few years ago, we had an absolute disaster in our flock that could have been easily prevented. Ever since then I've been telling everyone I can about it so that other people don't have to go through the same experience.
A pleasantly bitter, well-rounded marmalade, delicious on a crusty piece of whole wheat sourdough with a mug of hot tea.
Some advice on chicken butchering
before you can all your tomatoes into sauce, make this jam! "tomato jam" sounds strange if you don't know about it, but it's amazing- sweet & savory at the same time, and incredibly versatile.
when you're harvesting onions and garlic, don't throw away the tops. save them and put them in vinegar for a deliciously bright infused vinegar.
fermented kohlrahbi chips that are deliciously sour, crispy, packed with dill flavor
These canned sweet cherries are so elegant. They're not too sweet, and the flavor is fantastic with a touch of brandy and vanilla bean. Delicious right from the jar or in cocktails, and the syrup makes the most stunning red cherry-vanilla sodas.
Santa rosa plums w/ a hint of chocolate, sage and honey.

The CyBi®-Print Vario automatically prints barcode labels and applies them to microplates.
The user benefits from a very flexible definition of the label content and an extremely reliable and fast processing of the microplates. Depending on the number and type of stackers utilized, the CyBi®-Print vario holds up to 300 plates for unattended processing. Up to 40 plates, the capacity of one chimney of a standard stacker, can be labeled in just 10 minutes. The processing options include the plate type, plate side, barcode type, barcode content, number and content of text fields, and linkage to databases to obtain or store barcode information. Using the integrated barcode reader, information can be read from one plate or one side, modified according to the user's needs, and printed onto a label on another plate or another side of the plate.
The labels available for the CyBi®-Print vario are very resistant to aqueous solutions, alcohols and organic solvents such as DMSO. Labeled plates can be frozen and thawed (or even boiled) without any negative effect to the label.

Simple Polynomial Factoring (page 1 of 3) Sections: Simple factoring, Factoring "in pairs" Factoring polynomial expressions is not quite the same as factoring numbers, but the concept is very similar. When factoring numbers or factoring polynomials, you are finding numbers or polynomials that divide out evenly from the original numbers or polynomials. But in the case of polynomials, you are dividing numbers and variables out of expressions, not just dividing numbers out of numbers. Previously, you have simplified expressions by distributing through parentheses, such as: 2(x + 3) = 2(x) + 2(3) = 2x + 6 Simple factoring in the context of polynomial expressions is backwards from distributing. That is, instead of multiplying something through a parentheses, you will be seeing what you can take back out and put in front of a parentheses, such as: 2x + 6 = 2(x) + 2(3) = 2(x + 3) The trick is to see what can be factored out of every term in the expression. Warning: Don't make the mistake of thinking that "factoring" means "dividing something off and making it magically disappear". Remember that "factoring" means "dividing out and putting in front of the parentheses". Nothing "disappears" when you factor; things merely get rearranged.
The only thing common between the two terms (that is, the only thing that can be divided out of each term and then moved up front) is a "3". So I'll factor this number out to the front: 3x 12 = 3( ) When I divided the "3" out of the "3x", I was left with only the "x" remaining. I'll put that "x" as my first term inside the parentheses: 3x 12 = 3(x ) When I divided the "3" out of the "12", I left a "4" behind, so I'll put that in the parentheses, too: 3x 12 = 3(x 4) This is my final answer: 3(x 4) Warning: Be careful not to drop "minus" signs when you factor. Some books teach this topic by using the concept of the Greatest Common Factor, or GCF. In that case, you would methodically find the GCF of all the terms in the expression, put this in front of the parentheses, and then divide each term by the GCF and put the resulting expression inside the parentheses. The result will be the same. But this seems like an awful lot of work to me, so I just go straight to the factoring. Here are some more examples: Copyright © Elizabeth Stapel 2002-2011 All Rights Reserved
A "7" can come out of each term, so I'll factor this out front: 7x 7 = 7( ) Dividing the 7 out of "7x" leaves just an "x": 7x 7 = 7(x ) What am I left with when I divide the 7 out of the second term? Well, if "nothing" is left, then "1" is left. (Remember: 7 ÷ 7 = 1.) So I get: 7x 7 = 7(x 1) Take careful note: When "nothing" is left after factoring, a "1" is left behind in the parentheses.
In this case, no number is a common factor between the two terms (specifically, the 12 and the 5 share no common numerical factor), but I can still divide out a common variable factor of "y" from each of the two terms. 12y2 5y = y( ) In the first term, I have the "12" and the other "y" factor left over: 12y2 5y = y(12y ) (This is because 12y2 means 12×y×y, so taking the 12 and one of the y's out front leaves the second y behind.) In the second term, I have the "5" left over: 12y2 5y = y(12y 5) Don't forget the "minus" sign in the middle! Top | 1 | 2 | 3 | Return to Index Next >>

Duke Orthopaedics hand surgeons offer thumb joint replacement surgery (or thumb CMC surgery) to relieve pain associated with arthritis of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint in the thumb.
The CMC joint, or basal joint, is located at the base of the thumb, adjacent to the wrist. It is responsible for the movement and stability of the thumb.
Because of this unique amount of movement at the thumb base, degenerative arthritis often immobilizes the thumb and causes pain for patients, particularly during pinching and grabbing activities.
Our doctors are skilled at recognizing patients who would benefit from thumb CMC surgery.
We take a thorough history of each patient and carefully assess the hand and wrist for sources of pain and dysfunction. We may order additional tests such as X-rays or MRIs to get a better look at the deteriorating cartilage.
Duke hand surgeons carefully assess the extent of each patient's arthritis and recommend surgery appropriate for the patient's unique needs.
Surgery may involve arthroplasty (removing part of an arthritic joint and replacing with a prosthetic implant, tendon graft, or other implant), with or without reconstruction of ligaments at the base of the thumb. For some patients, arthroscopic treatment or joint fusion may be considered.
Call 888-ASK-DUKE (888-275-3853) to schedule an appointment with a Duke orthopaedic provider in the Triangle of North Carolina. We see patients from Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and beyond.

The Real Deal: PictureMe Portrait Studio Closed
Updated: Friday, August 2 2013, 10:24 PM EDT
QUEENSBURY – If you've had pictures taken at a Wal-Mart portrait studio recently, you may be surprised to learn that the company that took them, has suddenly shut its doors for good. We heard from CBS6 viewers looking for the Real Deal after they were left with no pictures and no refunds.
PictureMe Portrait Studio ran 2,000 studios inside Wal-Mart and Sears stores across the country. It appears the company was taking pictures, taking orders and taking money until just a day or two before it closed its doors nationwide early last month. There are some reports that even suggest employees and photographers at these studios didn't know they would be losing their jobs until they showed up for work and the gates were closed and locked and the lights were off.
"We went, had our pictures done and of course with four little ones it's kind of hard, it took us all day but we picked out our packages and I generally get a big package because my husband's side is so large," Priscilla Gamble tells CBS6. She ordered the prints from PictureMe Portrait Studio inside the Queensbury Wal-Mart. "They said it would be about 2-3 weeks and they would come in and I said great," she says but when they didn't show up after about a month, "I called them up and I said where's my pictures and that's when I found out that the place had gone bankrupt and they just totally closed."
2,000 PictureMe locations inside Wal-Mart and Sears stores across the country have closed down. When you go to the company's website you get a statement that reads, "After many years of providing family portrait photography, we are sad to announce our PictureMe Portrait Studios are now closed. We appreciate your patronage and allowing us to capture your precious memories. If you have had a recent sessions, your portraits may be available at your local studio."
"I thought $215 and it's gone, it's literally gone...they told me pretty much if they don't come in within the next 10 days, they're gone--we won't get them," Gamble says. Wal-Mart says, although the portrait studio acted as an independent contractor it will refund money to customers who paid for prints that they did not received, if you still have your receipt.
Locally, there were PictureMe locations in Clifton Park, Queensbury and Rensselaer. If you're waiting on pictures, go to the Wal-Mart where they were taken and check with customer service to see if they've come in. If not, you'll be issued a refund if you can provide your receipt.

Runners cross Ohio farmland during fundraising Dairy Dash
By DOUG GRAVES
Ohio Correspondent
WEST CHESTER, Ohio — Many farmers will do most anything to keep the general public off their premises. But earlier this month, Janet Niederman of West Chester didn't bat an eye when asked to open her 200-acre farm to the first Tina's Angels Dairy Dash.
Nearly 250 runners of all ages converged on this Butler County farm during a 2K family walk and 5K trail competition. The runners, most of them used to running on asphalt or concrete roadways, had to traverse past silos, through barns, alongside hay bales, past tractors, around a pond and eventually to the finish line near the Niederman's farm house.
The race was named in honor of Tina Conrad, sister of race founder Troy Kehr. Conrad died in 2010 after a 15-month battle with Stage-IV triple negative breast cancer.
"After Tina passed away, I wanted to do something to remember and honor her while helping others who are fighting this awful disease," Kehr said.
Niederman's husband, Bob, died of cancer a year after Tina. Both were in 4-H together for nine years.
"I was amazed at the determination, love for life, strength and faith that Tina put into her fight," Kehr said. "She fought hard while raising three young boys with her husband and never losing a sense of humor."
Being good friends of the Niedermans gave them the idea of holding such an event on a farm. "We needed a catchy and fitting name," Kehr said, "fitting because the Niedermans once ran this as a dairy farm."
Numerous volunteers assisted in this cause, including the Wayne Township Unlimited 4-H Club. Area vendors participated as well. Refreshments included farm animal cookies, and white and chocolate milk.
Niederman and her family opens the farm for a few other public events as well. Each Christmas season it is host to a million-light display of Biblical scenes, which includes a half-mile nighttime walk around a hayfield. In the summer the farm is open to paintball enthusiasts.
Proceeds from Tina's Angels Dairy Dash go to families in the Dayton and Cincinnati areas who are battling breast cancer.
"We're already making plans for the second annual Dairy Dash," Kehr said. To learn more, call him at 513-779-5887 or write to: P.O. Box 1421, West Chester, OH 45071.
