Good health is something many of us take for granted, until we get sick. Only then are we reminded of everything it takes to get healthy again. But what if those things were out of reach? Fifty million Americans don't have access to basic healthcare or know how to get it, a driving force behind why Community HealthCorps, an AmeriCorps program, continues to grow after nearly 20 years of service.
Founded by the National Association of Community Health Centers, Community HealthCorps forms the perfect marriage between national service and public health, placing 500 AmeriCorps members directly into more than 200 community health center locations and offering high-quality health care to the nation's most underserved and isolated communities. Nearly 7,200 AmeriCorps members have contributed to Community HealthCorps' success since its inception.
National Reach, Community Focus
The Community HealthCorps experience is different for every AmeriCorps member, because each health center caters to the specific needs of the communities it serves. Yet whether they are enrolling patients into health insurance, running an after-school healthy food club...

Students at Scituate High School decided that their school was not "green" enough and decided to take action by entering Do Something's "Increase Your Green" competition, where students across the nation competed to see who could get their school to be the most environmentally friendly. These motivated students got 1,600 people involved in their projects including "Energy Night" which featured film screenings and energy workshops for the eight Rhode Island High Schools.

Sons of Norway assists year round with the Ski for Light Puget Sound chapter. We think it is important to not only get involved with the event, but to maintain a tie to Ski for Light to demonstrate how vital this event is for blind and mobility impaired individuals. Ski for Light allows blind and mobility impaired people the opportunity to interact with the outdoors in winter through skiing or sit-skiing. With the help of guides, they spend hours outside, enjoying activities that may otherwise not be available to them.

I shall never forget a little girl named Sabrina. Her hair was fly-away dish-water blonde and framed her narrow face, thin lips, pointy chin and blue eyes. Thin and gangly, she made a perfect target for numerous taunts and teasing from other children. She was also very disruptive in class. She was defiant of the teacher, aggressive to other children and rude. It seemed she didn't want to learn. She needed help!

Darius was born with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a genetic disorder that claimed the life of his older brother. Knowing the rest of his life would be spent in a wheelchair, at 15 Darius left his home for the first time on a cross-country road trip. Darius and his best friends drove from small-town Georgia to California, hoping to convince MTV to "pimp his ride," his wheelchair that is.

Proctitis is inflammation of the lining of the rectum (rectal mucosa).
Proctitis, which is becoming increasingly common, has several causes. It may result from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It can also result from a sexually transmitted disease (such as gonorrhea, syphilis, Chlamydia trachomatis infection, herpes simplex virus infection, or cytomegalovirus infection), especially among homosexual men.
A person whose immune system is impaired is also at increased risk of developing proctitis, particularly from infections by herpes simplex virus or cytomegalovirus. Proctitis may also be caused by some bacteria not transmitted sexually, such as Salmonella, or by the use of an antibiotic that destroys normal intestinal bacteria, thus allowing other bacteria to grow in their place (see -Induced Colitis). Another cause of proctitis is radiation therapy directed at or near the rectum, which is commonly used to treat prostate and rectal cancer.
Proctitis typically causes painless bleeding or the passage of mucus from the rectum. When the cause is gonorrhea, herpes simplex virus, or cytomegalovirus, the anus and rectum may be intensely painful.
To make the diagnosis, a doctor looks inside the rectum with an anoscope or sigmoidoscope (a tube used to view the rectum or anus) and takes swabs and a tissue sample of the rectal lining for examination. The laboratory then can identify the bacterium, fungus, or virus that may be causing the proctitis. A doctor may also examine other areas of the intestine using colonoscopy (examination of the entire large intestine with an endoscope).
Antibiotics are the best treatment for proctitis caused by a specific bacterial infection. When proctitis is caused by use of an antibiotic that destroys normal intestinal bacteria, a doctor may prescribe metronidazole Some Trade Names FLAGYL or vancomycin Some Trade Names VANCOCIN , which should destroy the harmful bacteria that have displaced the normal ones.
When the cause is radiation therapy or is unknown, anti-inflammatory drugs such as hydrocortisone Some Trade Names See cortisol (a corticosteroid) or mesalamine Some Trade Names ASACOL CANASA may provide relief. Both hydrocortisone Some Trade Names See cortisol and mesalamine Some Trade Names ASACOL CANASA can be given as either an enema or a suppository. Some corticosteroids are available in a foam preparation that can be inserted with a cartridge and plunger. Mesalamine Some Trade Names ASACOL CANASA and other anti-inflammatory drugs, such as sulfasalazine Some Trade Names AZULFIDINE and olsalazine Some Trade Names DIPENTUM , may be taken by mouth at the same time that drugs are given rectally, for added benefit. If these forms of treatment do not relieve the inflammation, formalin can be applied directly to the area or corticosteroids taken by mouth may be used. Various methods of coagulation have been tried, including argon plasma, lasers, electrocoagulation, and heater probes.

2009This website presents how everyday choices influence us and focuses on the impact a small decision may have on the long run. It is addressed to everyone regardless of age and cultural background and we think that the contents of this site might help people in their decision-making process in the future. We compress in our project some basic psychology knowledge, personal opinions and scientific facts and draw adequate conclusions. We hope that it will prove useful and it will put the small decisions you make into a new light.

Team Collaboration
Our team is made up of 6 members who were designated different tasks throughout this project. Everyone had a specific assignment, for example our web designer who is the one behind all the technical part, processed the movie on the home page and did the "Figures" page. The co-web designer helped with the graphics and flash work and also with the results of the survey. The photography, interviews and most of the content was developed by Leyla with help on the last part from Catalina who, besides correcting the content, drew the comic. Trang helped with the survey, questioning a part of the people necessary. The research for the axioms and quotes was done by Maria.
Like all teams, we encountered a few problems and it was pretty hard to get everyone to do their jobs properly in the beginning, mainly because of the excessive schoolwork. Also, we found out about the project just a month before the deadline so an amount of tension was in the air. In time we have learned to cooperate and we believe that putting together this website helped us a lot with our team spirit and taught us to be more tolerant and learn how to solve diverse communication problems. In the end, we believe that we had a lot to gain from this experience and we are glad we were a part of this.
Team Diversity
Due to the fact that a couple of team members have different nationalities and therefore a different social background, we had diverse ideas and distinct working habits. Despite all this, we did not encounter any specific problems and everything worked out well. Most of the members were born and live in Romania. However, Trang and Leyla (who is half Turkish) were born and brought up in other countries like Vietnam and Russia. We currently live in Romania.
Even though we have various religions, beliefs, traditions, we came together into a solid team combining our strengths in making the best project that we can.

This letter is written to inform the voters of Washington County that there is a candidate for county commissioner that embodies leadership. She has the degree, the experience, and has put into action her leadership qualifications. That candidate is Peg Littler. A resident of Marietta for over 40 years, much of Littler's time has been spent in a leadership role of one kind or another. In 1971, Littler began her experience as an educator at Washington County Career Center as a Business Education instructor continuing in that position until 1984. Her leadership experience would continue in the education area for the next 23 years as she was job placement coordinator for special needs students at Washington County Career Center (1985-1990); assistant principal, Washington County Career Center (1990-1998); drop-out recovery specialist for Jobs for Ohio Graduates (1998-2003); grant coordinator for Warren Local School District (2004-2008). During these years, Littler found the time to build her leadership qualifications by completing the Marietta Chamber of Commerce Telesis Leadership Program (1998); earning a master's degree from Marietta College in liberal arts/organizational leadership (1990); being a Chamber of Commerce Ambassador (1987-1990); being a United Way volunteer (1990); being elected to and serving as a member of the Marietta City Schools Board of Education (1999-2003); being a member of Noon Lions Club (1999-2003).
From 2008-2009, Littler was an employment specialist with Pathways - Washington County Board of Developmental Disabilities; from 2009-2012, she served as educational coordinator for the Boys and Girls Club of Washington County; 2010-present, Littler is vice president/secretary for the Harmar Community Center board of directors.
It would seem that a person with the wealth of leadership and experience that Littler possesses would be an excellent person to hold the office of county commissioner for Washington County. To learn more about Littler, and to hear her views in her own words, plan on attending a Meet and Greet scheduled for Oct. 13, beginning at 4 p.m., in Masonic Park. This event will include food, fun and lots of one-on-one time with candidate Littler. Voting is a privilege that holds within itself the responsibility to be informed - this event is that opportunity to become an informed voter.

Those Favoring Local Food Eat Healthier
January 29, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) — Young people who favor organic, local and sustainable foods are more likely to make healthier food choices, U.S. researchers say.
Jennifer E. Pelletier, Melissa N. Laska, Dianne Neumark-Sztainer and Mary Story of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health Epidemiology and Community Health conducted a cross-sectional study, which examined the characteristics and dietary behaviors of 1,201 students.
The study participants were at a two-year community college and a four-year public university in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area. The participants reported low, moderate, or high importance on alternative food production practices.
"Almost half of the young adults placed moderate to high importance on alternative production practices of food," Pelletier said in a statement. "And no differences were found by race/ethnicity or socioeconomic status in this sample."
The study, published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, found women, young people age 25 and older, vegetarians and those living outside their parent/family home reported the highest importance on alternative production practices.
Compared with those who placed low importance on these practices, those who placed high importance on alternative production practices also consumed:
– 1.3 more servings of fruits and vegetables.
– More dietary fiber, fewer added sugars and less fat.
– Breakfast approximately one more day per week.
– Fast food half as often.
The study was published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

DETROIT -- It's a long story that I won't bore you with, but yes, I'm in Detroit. So I'm going to the A's/Tigers game tonight at Comerica Park; I'll be filing a story for Baseball Nation that I'll also post here.
Regarding the horrifically bad call that was made in the Cardinals/Braves game Friday night, we of course have no way of knowing whether the Braves would have come back to tie or win the game if the correct call would have been made. The bases would have been loaded with one out, with a high likelihood of scoring at least one run, and then who knows? Most probably, though, the end result would have been the same; the Braves didn't play well most of the night, and probably deserved to lose anyway.
But not this way. There needs to be clarification of the infield-fly rule -- which is intended to prevent infielders from intentionally dropping balls to force double plays. That clearly was not in play in this case. Why the six -- yes, six -- umpires couldn't get together and make the call right is beyond me.
Which raises another question: do we really need six umpires in postseason games? This call was made by Sam Holbrook, the left-field umpire, umpiring in a position he never takes for 162 games during the regular season. A bad call was made in 2009 in a Twins/Yankees Division Series game by Phil Cuzzi, also umpiring in left field, that might have cost the Twins a game and perhaps turned that series around.
In any case, calls like this have to be gotten right. The first time.
On to today's games, the first in the Division Series round:
MLB.com Gameday for Athletics/Tigers. Game time: 5 p.m. CDT. Announcers: Don Orsillo, Buck Martinez and Jaime Maggio.
MLB.com Gameday for Reds/Giants. Game time: 8:30 p.m. CDT. Announcers: Brian Anderson, Ron Darling, Joe Simpson and Tom Verducci. (Long flight for those four, who did the game in Atlanta yesterday.)
Here is the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today.
This will be the only thread for today's games; if it gets too slow, post another one in the fanshot area.
Discuss amongst yourselves.

The greatest mass extinction of the last 500 million years or Phanerozoic Eon happened 250 million years ago, ending the Permian Period and beginning the Triassic Period. More than nine-tenths of all species disappeared, far exceeding the toll of the later, more familiar Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction.
For many years not much was known about the Permian-Triassic (or P-Tr) extinction. But starting in the 1990s, modern studies have stirred the pot, and now the P-Tr is a field of ferment and controversy.
Fossil Evidence of the Permian-Triassic Extinction
The fossil record shows that many lines of life went extinct both before and at the P-Tr boundary, especially in the sea. Most notable were the trilobites, the graptolites, and the tabulate and rugose corals. Almost completely exterminated were the radiolarians, brachiopods, ammonoids, crinoids, ostracodes and conodonts. Floating species (plankton) and swimming species (nekton) suffered more extinctions than bottom-dwelling species (benthos).
Species that had calcified shells (of calcium carbonate) were penalized; creatures with chitin shells or no shells did better. Among the calcified species, those with thinner shells and those with more ability to control their calcification tended to survive.
On land, the insects had severe losses. A great peak in the abundance of fungus spores marks the P-Tr boundary, a sign of massive plant and animal death. Higher animals and land plants underwent significant extinctions, though not as devastating as in the marine setting. Among the four-legged animals (tetrapods), the ancestors of the dinosaurs came through the best.
The Triassic Aftermath
The world recovered very slowly after the extinction. A small number of species had large populations, rather like the handful of weed species that fill an empty lot. Fungus spores continued to be abundant. For millions of years, there were no reefs and no coal beds. Early Triassic rocks show completely undisturbed marine sediments—nothing was burrowing in the mud.
Many marine species, including the dasyclad algae and calcareous sponges, disappeared from the record for millions of years, then reappeared looking just the same. Paleontologists call these Lazarus species (after the man Jesus revived from death). Presumably they lived on in sheltered places from which no rocks have been found.
Among the shelly benthic species, the bivalves and gastropods became dominant, as they are today. But for 10 million years they were very small. The brachiopods, which had completely dominated the Permian seas, nearly vanished.
On land the Triassic tetrapods were dominated by the mammal-like Lystrosaurus, which had been obscure during the Permian. Eventually the first dinosaurs arose, and the mammals and amphibians became small creatures. Lazarus species on land included the conifers and ginkgos.
Geologic Evidence of the Permian-Triassic Extinction
Many different geologic aspects of the extinction period have been documented recently:
- Salinity in the sea fell sharply during the Permian for the first time, changing oceanic physics to make deep water circulation more difficult.
- The atmosphere went from very high oxygen content (30%) to very low (15%) during the Permian.
- The evidence shows global warming AND glaciations near the P-Tr.
- Extreme erosion of the land suggests that ground cover disappeared.
- Dead organic matter from the land flooded the seas, pulling dissolved oxygen from the water and leaving it anoxic at all levels.
- A geomagnetic reversal occurred near the P-Tr.
- A series of great volcanic eruptions was building up a gigantic body of basalt called the Siberian Traps.
Some researchers argue for a cosmic impact at P-Tr time, but the standard evidence of impacts is missing or disputed. The geologic evidence fits an impact explanation, but it does not demand one. Instead the blame seems to fall on volcanism, as it does for other mass extinctions.
The Volcanic Scenario
Consider the stressed biosphere late in the Permian: low oxygen levels restricted land life to low elevations. Ocean circulation was sluggish, raising the risk of anoxia. And the continents sat in a single mass (Pangea) with a reduced diversity of habitats. Then great eruptions begin in what is Siberia today, starting the largest of Earth's large igneous provinces (LIPs).
These eruptions release huge amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur gases (SOx). In the short term the SOx cools the Earth while in the longer term the CO2 warms it. The SOx also creates acid rain while CO2 entering the seawater makes it harder for calcified species to build shells. Other volcanic gases destroy the ozone layer. And finally, magma rising through coal beds releases methane, another greenhouse gas.
With all of this happening to a vulnerable world, most life on Earth could not survive. Luckily it has never been quite this bad since then. But global warming poses some of the same threats today.

Ticked Off!
December 25, 2012
Advertisement |
I witness a homeless veteran going in a restaurant and only had 5 dollars, and not one person in line offered to make up the difference. I couldn't believe what I just seen. I tried to get his attention, but he was out the door and around the building. I too don't have a job, but I wouldn't let anybody go hungry.
Why are there so many rude, selfish people today? Every time I go out in public, whether to a store, mall, theme park, theater I have to witness hateful people; they seem to comprise about 25 percent of the population. What happened?
If you can't afford salon services, then stay home. Don't hold up everyone else trying to juggle credit cards and what little cash you have in your wallet! How rude!
It ticks me off to see bicycle riders ride their bikes across the street. I was always taught to get off the bike and walk it through the cross walk. I have seen very young children who almost topple over to do this with a parent present. Schools don't do much better by allowing this practice. Let's teach better bike safety.
I purchased a memorial bench in my wife's memory and have been decorating it with poinsettias for the past several years. For the past two years, I have anchored the flowers, using metal wire spikes skewered deep into the ground, located in the periwinkle ground cover adjacent to the bench, and for the past two years, they have disappeared. This year, in addition to anchoring poinsettias next to the bench, I wired red bows and a beautiful wreath to the bench itself. Guess what? After less than a week, the beautiful wreath has disappeared. Let's hope that something else may have caused them to disappear over the past three years.

In The Loop: 8/13/11. A Musical Farewell Laced With Film & Beer

Hello to all you paper-constructing, screen-printing, card-making, journal-publishing, dress-hemming, creature-creating, jewelry-pounding, yarn-balling, we're-off-to-the-Craft-Lake-City enthusiasts. We already covered this topic back on Thursday, but if you'd like to see over 500 pictures from Craft Lake City, you can
check them out in this gallery here
, which I'm guessing will be one of the largest galleries of CLC artists and performers you'll find online. In lieu of a 337 update this week, here's some random artwork from the streets of downtown SLC...
Surprisingly, there isn't a lot for me to bitch about this week, although it was fun giving David Burger grief and receiving supportive feedback to it. Give it time, I'm sure someone else will do something stupid soon; it is Utah, after all. We'll just get right into events this week, starting with a show happening tonight at Urban Lounge. "An Evening Of Music" presented by the Salt Lake City Film Festival will have performances from local bands, all to help benefit the festival (look down a few spots) set to happen this coming week. Go check out the show and support the fest!
Tomorrow night,
The Garage
plays host to an all-day event as
New City Movement
and Boogie Basics Recordings present their second edition of Groove Garden. Jesse Walker, RicheBoom and Las Vegas' own Captain Jaxon will be switching off throughout the day playing the finest beats and mixes, with both bars and the kitchen open to serve your every need. Essentially an excuse to get out and enjoy yourself, the event is completely free to attend (21 and over only).
On Monday Aug.15, the art community bids a sad farewell to two of the hardest-working artists in town, as Nick & Erin Potter leave Utah. The couple are moving to Rhode Island, effectively taking their artwork and business (
Potter Press
) with them, and putting an end to one of the finest institutions of local art we've had over the years. With their unmistakeable artistic style, the two artists have been instrumental in helping the careers of several musicians with their gig posters, helped set the bar for DIY screenprinting, were a major contributor to the 337 Project, a staple at many artistic fairs and essentially grew interest in our art scene from venue patrons and clubgoers. If you'd like to say goodbye to the married duo, head over to
Blonde Grizzly
on Monday from 6-9 p.m., where they've promised to share a cupcake or two and offer several pieces of their artwork for cheap. Head on over and wish them well!
Skipping forward to Thursday, the
Salt Lake City Film Festival
will dominate local film from Aug. 18-21, showcasing nearly 30 films from around the globe, and a couple with local flavor attached. The Broadway, Tower Theater, Post Theater and Brewvies Cinema Pub will play host over the three-day event to various screenings; check out the Website for details and tickets. Some films with a local touch include
Surrogate Valentine
from Utah and SLCFF alum Dave Boyle, and
Bad Fever,
which was shot locally and produced by David Fetzer. They'll also be hosting various Q&A panels throughout the weekend, spotlighting some of the talented folks coming in to support their films. Simon Arthur (
Silver Tongues
), Dennis Ho (
Subway Preacher
), Lev Anderson (
Everyday Sunshine
) and the cast and crew from
will all be in town to talk about their films. Much like previous years, there are bound to be some unannounced surprises. Go check it out.
On Friday, the Copper Palate Press will have a special exhibition as SLC's own (now Brooklyn based)
Nick Pedersen
drops back into town to feature some of his latest works, as well as releasing a brand-new book. Not much else is being talked about the event other than music will be DJ's by Electric Space Jihad, but then again it's an unofficial Stroll event, so details are always kept secret so people will come check it out. We highly recommend attending!
Meanwhile across town,
Spy Hop Productions
will be throwing a Street Party, live at their main studios from 6-9 p.m. The event is to commemorate and celebrate the past year's worth of work from the students, featuring works from the various departments. It's a great chance to see some of the work being done by the program, see the talented youth in the city and possibly the future of our entertainment scene.
Then, Saturday, Aug. 20 will be the next game for the
Junction City Roller Dolls
at the Davis Conference Center -- a double header, in fact, as the league team The Trainwrecks go head-to-head versus The Taco Kickers from Everette, Wash. Afterward will be inner-league play as the Hilltop Aces take on The After Shocks. We couldn't find a ticket price, but we're guessing it will be $10 like previous bouts.
The following week is kinda dead except for this one event being held at Washington Square --you may have heard of it: the second annual City Weekly Utah Beer Festival. I could hammer the point home on this one, but let's be honest, you're going to be seeing a lot of Web banners and reminders over the next few days, so let's just mark this as a friendly reminder that it's coming in two weeks. And no, to the 40 people who have already asked and the 100 more on the way, I can't get you discount tickets or free tokens. Sorry.
As for the blog ... we'll take a look at the latest addition to Internet radio, chat with the director of a local film, visit Gallery Stroll, explore a new venue a little farther south than normal, chat video games from a local studio head and learn more about a spoken- word event with a twist. At least, that's the plan. For all I know, it'll all go belly-up like it almost did last week. As always, we'll see what happens.
