Asked to predict the top act at the eighth annual Lake Eden Arts Festival, co-director Jennifer Pickering opts to spotlight the holistic resonance of the entire event: "Of course, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is absolutely a highlight, but it's a really packed lineup, and all of the music has a vibrant energy. ... One of the nicest things is that most of the performers actually hang out right at the festival.
"We make it really easy for people to come," continues Pickering, noting the variety of ticket options (see sidebar).
Experiencing their first-ever L.E.A.F will be a stunning Nepalese group called Shringara Nepal, who'll perform intermittently throughout the weekend. "People are so fascinated with Nepal, yet few have ever experienced Nepalese music," she points out. Yes, if a theme exists for this year's festival, it's definitely set to a world beat, Pickering concedes -- with the Swiss bluegrass band The Kruger Brothers and Samite of Uganda as featured acts: "We'll have a lot of stuff people haven't heard," she promises. "They'll go, 'This is great. ... What is this?'"
Samite Mulondo (a.k.a. Samite of Uganda)
As the leader of a traditional African band, Ugandan Samite Mulondo has seen firsthand how the right note can extinguish boundaries.
"We've played all over the world, for the smallest fan and the oldest; we've played at nursing homes, for mentally challenged kids, at universities like Cornell, and to farmers at festivals who [would normally] listen to bluegrass. Music transcends all of these [cultural] differences," he declared proudly in a recent telephone interview.
But as a political refugee, Mulondo treaded precarious ground. After fleeing Uganda in 1982 and spending five years in Kenya (including six months at a refugee camp), he came to the United States and settled in western New York state. Two years ago, he returned to his native land to film the ravages wrought by civil war in Liberia, Rwanda and Uganda.
In an essay detailing his homecoming (written before the resulting documentary, Song of the Refugee, was released), the musician reported movingly: "[The film] was inspired by a desire to present African refugees' hopes for the future in spite of the suffering and loss they have endured. Media coverage during the darkest days of the crisis ... concentrated on violence and destruction, on waves of humanity fleeing in desperation. There was no sense that these were individuals, with families and communities. With this incomplete picture, and little or no coverage of the reconciliation and healing processes now under way, it is no wonder that Africans appear helpless and hopeless to Americans. ... [This] documentary moves from a helpless picture of refugees whose lives must be saved to a hopeful picture of a country that has been rebuilt in a large part by refugees who survived."
Released a year ago on PBS, the film has garnered emotional responses from people all over the world, says Mulondo.
"For African people, they feel that it shows the true side of Africa -- people who are still very hopeful," he posits. "And Americans [realize] another side of the situation."
One of the most moving moments in the documentary, Mulondo feels, is when he and his band play for refugees long bereft of the sounds of their homeland: "When you bring music back, it's like life is being restored to them." Having lived in two hemispheres, Mulondo views Westerners' increasing acceptance of world music with little surprise: "It's not just music. People are becoming more interested in other cultures because they realize that people are more alike than [they had thought]." Tellingly, the fact that none of his songs are sung in English has done nothing to hinder their popularity.
"[The language barrier] definitely hasn't been an issue at all in my performances," Mulondo notes. "People make the connection."
Song of the Refugee will be shown at LEAF on Saturday, May 29, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. (the musician will be on hand to answer questions at the first showing), and on Sunday at 1 p.m. Mulondo -- who goes by the name Samite of Uganda in his role as musician -- will perform with his band on Saturday, May 29 at 5:30 p.m. and on Sunday, May 30 at 2 p.m., on the Lakeside Stage.
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band
Much has been made of the fact that New Orleans' longtime treasure is actually only an octet. But for one brief moment, many years ago, the band almost fit its name. In a recent interview, saxophonist Roger Lewis recalls that moment of truth:
"We did a parade once, and we wanted to have a picture [from it] that actually had 12 people in it," he remembers. So they plucked a few lucky extras from the crowd, to flesh out the ensemble.
"But an extra person slipped in, so there ended up being 13 -- an unlucky number," he says with a laugh.
At least one of the band members must be fortified with four-leaf clovers, though, because this group has enjoyed unflagging popularity for more than 20 years now. Formed in the Crescent City during a brass-band dry spell (now, of course, there are scores, attesting in part to this band's influence), the Dirty Dozen Brass Band decided to drop the latter two words from their name a few years ago, realizing that their sound had evolved far beyond those parameters.
"We aren't only a brass band," Lewis explains. Expansive funk still issues from those horns (Julius McKee's standout sousaphone is a continued hallmark), but electric keyboards have slipped in just like that wannabe band member did in the group photo, allowing the band to dabble in pop and R&B.
Appearing as just the Dirty Dozen, the band played on, with a slightly-less-misleading name. But the change caused some confusion among fans, and eventually, the group decided to re-adopt its original moniker.
"People knew us the other way," he says simply. Newer jazz aficionados, in particular, struggled with the switch. "You know, we're a lot older than we were 20 years ago," Lewis feels compelled to point out, "but we're still getting a lot of college kids." (And younger fans: Festival coordinators have chosen the Enka Middle School Fusion Jazz Band to open for the Crescent City legends).
"The [younger people] really get off on it," Lewis continues. "There's no generation gap, musically speaking. Because music is music, and it don't matter how old you are: If it's good, it's good."
The group has shared stages with an almost comically diverse lot, among them Ray Charles, The Black Crowes, Bonnie Raitt and The Grateful Dead. And the DDBB has played to fans in China, Japan, Israel, Europe, Asia and Brazil. But ask Lewis to discern shades of reaction among this global assortment of grooving bodies, and he sees only bliss.
"We've never had a bad response, anywhere," he enthuses. "The response is always the same. It's because the music is so electrifying. ... It's people music, music that makes people move. And people are people: It don't matter what race or creed or religion you are. Every time we play, it's a joyful thing."

Aviation Systems Management Comprehensive Major (B.S.) Program Suggestions
A program designed for students interested in a career as a professional pilot.
The College of Business and Technology offers a comprehensive aviation degree program which contains two areas of emphasis. Students interested in a career in airline management, airport management, or airport design should consider the Aviation Support Services Emphasis while those interested in becoming professional airline pilots or charter pilots would be best served in the Flight Operations Emphasis. The program is designed such that each area of emphasis share a common technology, aviation, and business core. Thus, the courses recommended for the first two years are very similar.
First Year
First Semester
College Algebra (only necessary if needed before advanced math)
Second Year
General Physics I
Students who intend to take part of their aviation education from a community college and then transfer to the University of Nebraska at Kearney Airway Science Programs should consult with both their academic advisor at the community college and the Director of Airway Science Programs at the University of Nebraska at Kearney to insure that the proper course of study is being pursued by that student.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — State lawmakers are holding a public hearing on increasing the fines for violating Connecticut's ban on using hand-held cell phones while driving.
The Transportation Committee has set the hearing for 10 a.m. Monday in the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.
The proposed bill would double the fines for talking on cell phones without hands-free devices, texting and other cell phone use while driving.
"I think it is really important that we deter people from getting distracted on the road, because it's just as bad as drinking and driving and you can really hurt somebody," said Lindsay Novak, of Florida.
The current fines are $100 for a first violation, $150 for a second violation and $200 for subsequent violations. Some lawmakers want to increase the penalties to $200 for a first violation, $300 for a second violation and $500 for subsequent violations.
"I don't think it's enough. They should charge more for texting and driving. It's outrageous to see people, even at the light, texting, and when the light changes, they're still texting," said Justin Clarke, of Hamden.
Distracted driving is one of the biggest causes of car crashes across the country, and now with smart phones being so popular, the number of people using phones while driving is on the rise.

Itinerary | Accommodations | Equipment | References | Staff
Join the Sierra Club and Glacier Park Ski Tours/Glacier Adventure Guides for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the wildness and spectacular scenery of Glacier National Park. Glacier National Park, the world's first International Peace Park, is also a Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site. Glacier offers exceptional scenery, diverse wildlife and plant communities, and unbelievable skiing. Each day we'll ski the trails and backcountry accompanied by Glacier Park Ski Tours' staff who will share their knowledge regarding the park's history, geology, and natural features. In the evenings, we'll retire to a luxurious lodge, eat delicious meals, and enjoy swimming in the indoor pool, relaxing in the outdoor hot tubs, and visiting with our fellow skiers.
Most people visit Glacier because of its scenery. The combination of vertical, glacier-scoured banded mountains, pristine lakes and streams, and dense ancient forests help provide Glacier with its majestic reputation. However, what sets Glacier apart and makes the landscape so unique are quite simply the glaciers themselves. Their blue ice and crevasses distinguish them from the snowfields and help remind us of the park's antiquity.
Glacier National Park also has a tremendous history. Recent archeological surveys have found evidence of human use dating back over 10,000 years. These people may have been ancestors of tribes that live in the area today. When the first European explorers came to the area, Blackfeet Indians controlled the vast prairies east of the mountains, and the Salish and Kootenai Indians lived in and hunted in the western valleys.
Day 1: Arrive at the Glacier Park International / Kalispell (FCA) Airport no later than 3:00 p.m. The Lodge at Whitefish Lake provides a van shuttle from the airport to the lodge as needed. Please call the lodge (877.887.4026 or 406.863.4000) ahead of time to schedule a pick-up time. After arriving at the lodge, please check and get settled. At 4:30 p.m. we will meet near the lobby fireplace for a welcome/orientation meeting. Following the meeting, we will move to the dining room and enjoy our first of many delicious dinners together.
Day 2: After breakfast we will rent equipment, if needed, and then travel through the west entrance of Glacier National Park to the Lake McDonald Lodge trailhead. From there we will ski into Johns Lake (2 miles) and tour both the Dancing Cascades Trail and Lake McDonald (6 miles). This trail wanders through old-growth forests of Western Red Cedar and Hemlock; if we get clear skies, we'll have fanastic views of the large mountains surrounding the Lake McDonald area and the Going to the Sun Road. The evening will be yours to enjoy a soak in the lodge's hot tub, enjoy the company of your fellow travelers, or take advantage of a good book.
Day 3: We will travel up the North Fork of the Flathead River Road (45-min drive) to the north entry of Glacier National Park and ski the Camas Creek Road. This road will take us 12 miles to Apgar Village in West Glacier, if conditions and weather allow. This will be a full day with 800 feet of elevation gain over the first eight miles and a downhill ride for the remaining mileage to Lake McDonald. This tour takes us through the burn areas of 2006 and affords views of the Livingston Range and the Higher Peaks of Glacier National Park. We will meet our shuttle at the Apgar Village. Again, you'll have the evening free to do as you wish.
Day 4: We will travel to Marias Pass at the south end of Glacier National Park to higher elevations on the Continental Divide (1.5 hour travel time). We will ski the Autumn Creek Trail Loop, starting at the pass and ending eight miles to the west, where we will meet our shuttle on Highway 2. This is an intermediate trip that allows us to traverse without retracing our steps. We will be surrounded by large mountains and have spectacular views, if the sky is clear! The elevation gain today's ski is 1,200-1,400' vertical, and the trip ends with a long descent to the shuttle. Back at the lodge, spend the evening relaxing as you'd like.
Day 5: We will again travel to Marias Pass to the Fire Brand Pass trailhead. Today's trip takes us into open terrain with opportunities to ski in an alpine environment. This is an out-and-back, so mileage is based on when we decide to turn around. The vertical gain of this trip is 1,200 feet, depending on our final destination. There will be great views of the large mountains around Marias Pass and the mountains surrounding the eastern Glacier area. If time and weather conditions allow, we may also take a side trip to East Glacier entrance. Relax back at the lodge in the evening.
Day 6: We will travel back to the western entrance of Glacier National Park and ski into Snyder Basin via the Sperry Trail. This trail will take us to the Snyder Lake Basin, affording access to big mountain terrain and views of Mt. Brown and the Little Matter Horn. In the evening, you have your choice of ways to relax at the lodge, including a soak in the hot tub.
Day 7: We will travel to West Glacier and drive to the McDonald Lodge trailhead. We will then ski the McDonald Lake Trail to North Bridge and travel toward Trout Lake on the south side of Mt. Stanton. This trail has some nice ups and downs, with 1,200 feet of elevation gain and some options for ski descents to the Trout Lake Basin. This trip will provide views of Mount Stanton, Rogers Peak, and some of the Livingston Mountain Range. This route typically has great snow with some large forest sections. Following today's ski trip, we will return any rental ski equipment on our way back to the lodge.
Day 8: After breakfast, plan on departing for the Glacier Park International Airport. Please schedule your shuttle van departure time with the front desk to coincide with your departing flight.
Note: Daily routes can be adjusted to reflect the ski skill levels of the participants. There may be options to break up the group into a fast/slow or beginner/advanced groups, depending on individual abilities. Ski itineraries are subject to change, depending on skiing abilities, interest, snow, and weather conditions.
Trip participants will be picked up at the Glacier Park International Airport in Kalispell, MT and shuttled to The Lodge at Whitefish Lake at the start of the trip. Trip participants will be shuttled back to the airport in Kalispell, MT at the conclusion of the trip. Shuttle services will also be provided throughout the trip.
The trip includes seven nights' lodging and all breakfasts and lunches. We will be staying at The Lodge at Whitefish Lake, a beautiful full-service facility located in Whitefish, Montana. The lodge is approximately a 45-minute drive from Glacier National Park and offers a substantial list of services and amenities.
All transportation is provided on the trip: van pick-up from the airport in Kalispell, Montana; all the travel to various ski destinations; and a final van drop-off at the Glacier Park International Airport at trip's end.
Standard arrangements are for double-occupancy rooms for all participants. Private rooms are also available, but numbers are limited so reserve yours early. The cost for a private room upgrade for the duration of the trip is $500. Please indicate your preference for private rooms to the leader and he will inform you of options and payment details.
A minimum skiing ability of advanced beginner to intermediate is suggested. Skiers should be able to ski rolling terrain and control speed and direction with at least a basic snowplow. Most of the terrain we'll cover is flat to gentle rolling hills, but good balance and a familiarity with varied snow and trail conditions are necessary. Participants should be in good physical shape. As noted above, the various ski trips will average 6-8 miles. Participants may also take non-ski rest days on their own at the lodge.
Rental cross-country ski equipment (including boots) is available for an extra fee near Glacier National Park. Equipment & clothing needs include:
• Day pack • Small piece of closed cell foam to sit on snow • Water bottle • Sunglasses and/or goggles • Sunscreen/lip protector • Camera • Binoculars • Pocket hand & foot warmers • Insulating underwear • Mid-weight lnsulating layer -- wool or fleece • Waterproof & windproof outer layer -- jacket & pants • Pants -- wool or fleece • Hat • Gloves • Neck gaiter • Socks • Gaiters • Insulated boots • Camp shoes
Glacier National Park is facing a number of conservation issues today. As in so many wild areas, the clash between wilderness preservation and human use is evident in many ways:
• Global warming. Could Glacier National Park be without its namesake if global warming continues? • Lack of park staff and resources to protect the natural resources within Glacier National Park. Is the park being loved to death? • The impact of development around the park on wildlife and natural resources within Glacier National Park.
See the How to Apply for an Outing section for more details on registering for this trip and details about our Reservation and Cancellation Policy.
The payment of a deposit does not confirm you as a member on the trip. Participants must be approved by the trip leader. After signing up for this trip, you will be sent a confirmation packet containing approval materials (Participant Approval Questionnaire, Medical Form, Liability Release Form). Each applicant (including those on the waitlist) must fill out these forms and promptly mail them to the trip leader. The leader will review the approval materials and notify you of your acceptance in a timely manner.

Tropical Rainforest Mountain House Near Volcano Arenal. Private and Safe. in Alajuela

- baths 1
- sleeps 6
- pool yes
- hot tub no
- pets considered no
- type House
vacation rental description
Your own Costa Rican private hilltop house located 25 minutes from the town of La Fortuna and Volcano Arenal. This beautiful retreat is about 2 and 1/2 hours from San Jose (main airport) and about 3 hours from the Pacific beaches. This well-built and locally decorated home sits on a hill overlooking its own tropical fruit and flower garden. Just beyond the exotic garden are beautiful horse pastures, a whitewater river and the jungle of the federally protected Children's Eternal Rainforest which offers endless hiking trails and birding opportunities. Wake up to the magical sounds of the Costa Rican Rainforest (howler monkeys, gentle rain, and the songs of over 123 species of birds seen on-site). Brew a pot of locally grown fresh Costa Rican Café, and step out onto the large deck to enjoy the 270° view and lounge in one of the 2 hammocks provided.
This house is very peaceful and remote yet it has the wonderful feature of being within walking distance to the ecotourist destination Chachagua Rainforest Hotel. This unique setting offers total privacy with all the comforts of a first class lodge. The conveniences offered by the hotel include: English-speaking staff on property at all times, cell phones in case of emergencies, night watchman, laundry, restaurant serving delicious local Costa Rican cuisine, fully stocked bar, beautiful outdoor swimming pool, massage therapists, tropical gardens,, access to rainforest hiking trails, rental horses and tours. We consider this to be the best of both worlds: the security and convenience of a hotel yet the quiet remoteness of a private home.
The house has 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a nice queen size bed and its own porch with superb views. The guest bedroom has two beds, one double and one twin.
There is 1 bathroom with beautiful private shower that overlooks rainforest. Colorful hand painted murals cover three of the walls within the house and illustrate forest scenes (done by a talented local artist). There is a great kitchen with all the tools to cook a healthy meal. There is also a family room that opens up to the best porch in the world. The house is an awesome place to relax. Guests can spend countless days just sitting in the hammocks, eating fresh fruit and watching the toucans, parrots, hummingbirds and countless birds that visit the garden at the house.
Over the past 10 years we have planted many fruit trees. Fruits include mangos, oranges, figs, coconuts, rambatans (chinese leechis), guanabanas, tamarindos, bananas, plantains, limes, water apple, coffee, and cacao (chocolate). All ov which is available to you when it is ripe!
Not only is the house a great place to chill out, but it is in an ideal location to use as a home base when you go on adventures.
Things to do in close by La Fortuna are:
Watch lava flow from the crater of Volcano Arenal (one of the most picturesque volcanoes), visit a 100ft waterfall (Catarata La Fortuna), bathe in natural hot springs, fish and windsurf on Lake Arenal, whitewater raft, explore the Volcano Arenal National Park, take a wildlife/bird tour to Cano Negro, go on a caving tour, dine at many restaurants, dance at the local discothèque (Volcan Look), get cool souvenirs, get money from an ATM, or use the internet. Also, you are less then a 4 hour drive to a variety of nice beaches on the Pacific coasts as well as the enchanting cloud forests of Monte Verde. The Caribbean coast is only about 5 hours away.
Whatever your questions might be about the house, general area, or Costa Rica, I would love to answer them. I lived in this friendly and peaceful community for a year when I first went to Costa Rica in 1998 to be an English Teacher.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - An Army soldier accused of committing sex acts with a 13-year-old boy after meeting him on the Internet pleaded not guilty to sex charges in West Valley Superior Court Thursday.
Jose Eduardo Estrada, 34, of Rancho Cucamonga has been behind bars since Monday in West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
He is being held in lieu of $750,000 bail.
San Bernardino County sheriff's investigators say Estrada met the victim in an Internet chat room and obtained his cell phone number. They began exchanging text messages and arranged to meet in person.
Estrada brought the victim to his apartment in the 7900 block of Elm Avenue beginning in late October and engaged in sex acts with him, officials said.
Deputies arrested Estrada on Monday. One of the questions asked in the booking procedure is what the inmate does for employment.
"Estrada claimed he was a Major in the United States Army when he was booked into West Valley Detention Center," said sheriff's spokesperson Cindy Bachman.
A records check with the army states otherwise.
Estrada is a Staff Sergeant in the Army Reserves assigned to Company A, 426th Civil Affairs Battalion in Upland, according to official army records.
Officials with the Civil Affairs Battalion declined to speak about Estrada and they referred all media inquiries to the Army's assigned public affairs officer, Major Annmarie Daneker.
"At this point it's a waiting game to see what happens to Estrada," said Daneker. "But I can tell you that he's absolutely not a Major and he's never been to Officer Candidate School."
Daneker confirmed that Estrada is a reservist on active duty military orders but was unsure if the army would file any charges against him at a later date.
"That's for someone else to determine after the civilian authorities conclude their case against Staff Sgt. Estrada," said Army reserve spokesperson, Major Annmarie Daneker. "We don't want to jeopardize their case against him."
Detectives are asking anyone with additional information regarding Estrada, to contact Detective Silvey at the Rancho Cucamonga Sheriff's Station at 909-477-2800.
Reach Melissa via email or call her at 909-386-3878.

Iraqi President Talabani suffers a stroke
Wednesday - 12/19/2012, 2:22am  ET
Associated Press
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Iraqi President Jalal Talabani has suffered a stroke and was in intensive care at a Baghdad hospital Tuesday, injecting new uncertainty into the country's political future a year after the U.S. military left.
Although his official powers are limited, Talabani, 79, is respected by many Iraqis as a rare unifying figure seen as able to rise above the ethnic and sectarian rifts that still divide the country. Known for his joking manner and walrus-like moustache, Talabani has been actively involved in trying to mediate an ongoing crisis between Iraq's central government and the country's ethnic Kurdish minority, from which he hails.
Iraqi state TV and several officials, including the prime minister's spokesman and Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq, confirmed to The Associated Press that Talabani had a stroke. The severity remains unclear.
Talabani's spokesman, Nasser al-Ani, told reporters that the president is in stable condition, though he did not say what he was suffering from. Medical officials who appeared with him were just as circumspect. They did not take questions.
"The president's health is being closely followed up by our medical team. The vital organs are working and we hope that there will be no deterioration," said Dr. Ayad Abbas from the intensive care unit where Talabani is being treated. "We hope that we will see improvement in the coming hours."
The presidential office initially said Tuesday that Talabani was hospitalized the previous evening after showing signs of fatigue. A later statement cited tests showing he is suffering from a condition caused by a hardening of his arteries. It did not identify the condition.
Some local media reports suggested that Talabani had died, but Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said that was not the case.
Rifle-toting soldiers assigned to the presidential guard were deployed around Medical City, Baghdad's largest medical complex, where Talabani is being treated. A number of senior government officials and lawmakers were seen rushing to the hospital to check on his condition, though their bodyguards were mostly not being allowed inside.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was among those who stopped by to check on the president, according to his spokesman, Ali al-Moussawi.
Medical teams from Germany and Britain are expected to arrive and will decide whether the president's condition is serious enough for him to be sent abroad for treatment, al-Mutlaq said.
Neighboring Turkey offered to send an ambulance jet to Baghdad that could transport Talabani for treatment in Turkey or another country, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters.
He suggested that the Iraqis had not yet responded to the offer. "It is up to them to decide," he said, adding that the information he had received was that Talabani was "seriously indisposed."
Word of Talabani's illness trickled out exactly a year after the last U.S. troops rolled out of Iraq. Their departure on Dec. 18, 2011 ended a nearly nine-year war that left more than 100,000 Iraqis and nearly 4,500 Americans dead.
Talabani is overweight and has undergone a number of medical procedures in recent years.
He had heart surgery at the Mayo Clinic in 2008 and has returned to the Minnesota institution for treatment since, including this past March. Over the summer, he underwent knee-replacement surgery in Germany.
The Iraqi presidency is a largely ceremonial post, though it does retain some powers under Iraq's constitution, such as the ability to block executions.
Talabani has frequently used his position to mediate disputes within the government and among Iraq's sects and ethnic groups. He has recently been working to resolve a standoff between the central government and the Kurds, who have their own fighting force.
The two sides last month moved additional troops into disputed areas along the Kurds' self-rule northern region, prompting fears that fighting could break out.
Talabani last week brokered a deal that calls on both sides to eventually withdraw troops from the contested areas, though there is no timetable for how soon the drawdown might take place.
Talabani met with al-Maliki before falling ill Monday. They agreed that al-Maliki would invite a delegation from the Kurdish regional government to Baghdad to continue the talks, according to the prime minister's office.
Iraq at one point had three vice presidents at a time, though one resigned last year and the other, Sunni politician Tariq al-Hashemi, has fled the country after arrest warrants were issued against him.
In the event of the president's death, Shiite Vice President Khudier al-Khuzaie would be expected to assume the president's duties temporarily because he is the only vice president remaining in Iraq, said legal expert Tariq Harb.

Estradiol/progesterone-releasing vaginal rings for hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women (HTML)
Hamada,Anna Lissa; Maruo,Takeshi; Samoto,Takashi; Yoshida,Shigeki; Nash,Harold A.; Spitz,Irving M.; Johansson,Elof D.B.
Gynecological Endocrinology 17(3): 247-254
Publication date: 2003
In order to investigate whether vaginal rings delivering estradiol and progesterone could prevent endometrial hyperplasia and relieve climacteric symptoms, two variants of rings were used in 20 postmenopausal women with intact uteri for 4 months. One ring designated as PI-002 (n = 8) delivered in vitro estradiol 160 g/day and progesterone 20 mg/day, while the other (PI-003; n = 12) delivered the same dosage of estradiol but only half the progesterone (10 mg/day). Serum estrone, estradiol and progesterone were measured at pretreatment, weekly for 4 weeks, and then monthly for 4 months. The incidence of hot flushes, frequency of night sweats, mood scores, vaginal discharge and bleeding profiles were recorded. Endometrial thickness was monitored by ultrasonography. The mean estrone level was 50 pg/ml for 16 weeks. The mean serum estradiol level was 75 pg/ml for the first 4 weeks and gradually decreased to 50 pg/ml at 16 weeks. The mean progesterone level with the PI-002 ring was 5 ng/ml for the first 4 weeks and decreased to 3.5 ng/ml at 16 weeks. With the PI-003 ring, the mean progesterone level was initially 3.5 ng/ml and then decreased to 2.5 ng/ml thereafter. Significant decreases in the incidence of hot flushes and night sweats as well as a striking improvement in mood scores were noted as early as 2 weeks after insertion. Three of the 20 women discontinued the treatment, owing to ring expulsion. Increased vaginal discharge was observed with both rings in the first 6 weeks. Vaginal bleeding was more frequently apparent among users of the PI-002 ring, although bleeding and spotting were confined to the first 6 weeks. Ultrasonographic monitoring of the endometrium constantly revealed a thickness of < 3 mm for both variants throughout use for 16 weeks. An estradiol/progesterone-releasing vaginal ring is a potential alternative to long-term hormone replacement therapy with minimum attention required. It provides effective protection against endometrial hyperplasia.

Half note
This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009) |
In music, a half note (American) or minim (British) is a note played for half the duration of a whole note (or semibreve) and twice the duration of a quarter note (or crotchet). In time signatures with a bar length of 4 beats, such as 4/4 or 3/4 time, the half note is two beats long.
Half notes are notated with a hollow oval note head (like a whole note) and a straight note stem with no flags (like a quarter note; see Figure 1). The half rest (or minim rest) denotes a silence for the same duration. Half rests are drawn as filled-in rectangles sitting on top of the middle line of the musical staff. As with all notes with stems, half notes are drawn with stems to the right of the note head, facing up, when they are below the middle line of the staff. When they are on or above the middle line, they are drawn with stems on the left of the note head, facing down. Its rhythm syllables are ta-ah. The note derives from the minima in mensural notation, which is Latin for 'least or smallest,' because at one stage it was the shortest of all note values used. The word minim comes from this name. The American term half note is a 19th-century loan translation of German halbe Note.
The names of this note (and rest) in other languages vary greatly:
Language | note name | rest name |
Chinese | 二分音符 | 二分休止符 |
Dutch | halve noot | halve rust |
French | blanche | demi-pause |
German | halbe Note | halbe Pause |
Greek | Imisi/miso (ήμισι/μισό) | Pafsi imiseos/pafsi misou (παύση ημίσεος/παύση μισού) |
Italian | minima | pausa di minima |
Japanese | 2分音符 | 2分休符 |
Korean | 2분음표 | 2분쉼표 |
Polish | półnuta | pauza półnutowa |
Portuguese | mínima | pausa de mínima |
Russian | половинная нота | половинная пауза |
Serbian | polovin(k)a / половин(к)а | polovinska pauza / половинска пауза |
Spanish | blanca | silencio de blanca |
Thai | โน๊ตตัวขาว | ตัวหยุดตัวขาว |
The French and Spanish names for the note (all meaning "white") derive from the fact that the minima was the shortest unfilled note in mensural white notation, which is true as well of the modern form. The form in the earlier black notation resembles the modern quarter note (crotchet). The Greek, Chinese, Japanese and Korean names mean "half" and in Greek, both the modern word (miso - μισό) and the older (imisi - ήμισι) are used. For the rest, the word "pafsi" (παύση) is used; this means "pause".

Pushing back on workplace bullying
Margaret Fiester is no shrinking violet, but she says working for her former boss was a nightmare.
"One day I didn't do something right, and she actually laid her hands on me and got up in my face and started yelling, 'Why did you do that?'" says Fiester, who worked as a legal assistant for an attorney.
Fiester doesn't have to worry about those tirades anymore, but she hears lots of similar stories in her current role as operations manager at the Society for Human Resource Management, where she often fields questions about the growing issue of workplace bullying.
On-the-job bullying can take many forms, from a supervisor's verbal abuse and threats to cruel comments or relentless teasing by a co-worker. And it could become the next major battleground in employment law as a growing number of states consider legislation that would let workers sue for harassment that causes physical or emotional harm.
Many victims of workplace bullying never report the incidents because they fear retaliation or lack confidence that their employer will address to the problem. Human resource experts say it's important to speak up and resolve the issue before it results in physical or mental harm. Some tips:
Consult your company's employee handbook to see if it has a policy prohibiting harassment or other workplace bullying behavior. Many organizations define acceptable standards of office behavior and have a process for filing complaints and punishing misconduct.
Keep detailed notes of the bully's actions
, including the date, time and circumstances of what took place. The information is essential for filing an internal complaint or, possibly, a lawsuit.Talk to the person who has been bullying you.
Sometimes, a boss or co-worker doesn't realize words or actions have been hurtful. Talking it over in a professional way may resolve the problem. But don't get caught in a war of words or make threats that could escalate the confrontation. Bring in a third party if talking privately makes you feel uncomfortable.If talking it over doesn't help, it's time to talk to the human resources department or the bully's supervisor. If the bully is a senior manager or CEO, approach another senior official or someone close to the bully and urge that person to help defuse the situation.
Keep doing your job well to show managers that you are a valuable employee. Make it in the company's interest to keep you happy.
If you've worked through channels inside the office and there's still no resolution, it may be time to part ways with your employer.
"I believe this is the new claim that employers will deal with. This will replace sexual harassment," says Sharon Parella, a management-side employment lawyer in New York. "People who oppose it say these laws will force people to be polite at work. But you can no longer go to work and act like a beast and get away with it."
Many companies already recognize workplace bullying as a problem that can sap morale, lead to increased employee turnover and even affect the bottom line. Half the employers in a 2011 survey by the management association reported incidents of bullying in their workplace, and about a fourth of human resource professionals themselves said they had been bullied.
At St. Anthony North Hospital outside of Denver, human resources director Robert Archibold says most of the bullying incidents he sees are peer-to-peer. In a recent case, one worker got offended by a co-worker's remark and suggested they "take it out to the parking lot." The offending worker was suspended under the hospital's anti-bullying policy, which has been in place for more than a decade.
"Hostile work environments, threats, bullying can come from anywhere," he says. "You can't tell by looking at someone who it will be."
One reason the issue has attracted more attention in recent years is that parents who deal with school bullying realize it can happen in the workplace, too.
Some employers have put into place anti-bullying policies, but advocacy groups want to go even further. They have been urging states to give legal rights to workers who do not already fit into a protected class based on race, gender or national origin.
More than a dozen states have considered anti-bullying laws in the past year that would allow litigants to pursue lost wages, benefits and medical expenses and compel employers to prevent an "abusive work environment."
Gary Namie, a social psychologist who co-founded the Bellingham-based Workplace Bullying Institute in 1997, is among those leading the charge, along with labor unions and civil rights groups. He says the economic downturn made bullying even worse and argues that passage of the laws would give employers more incentive to crack down on bad behavior in the workplace.
"People are trapped; they don't have the same alternative jobs to jump to," Namie says. "They are staying longer in these pressured, stress-filled, toxic work environments."
Business groups have strongly opposed the measures, arguing that they would open the floodgates to frivolous lawsuits.
"We would look at a bill like this as overreaching," says Marc Freedman, executive director of labor law policy for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He says the bill would punish an employer for acts of its employees that it may not be able to anticipate.
But Parella, the employment lawyer, thinks it's only a matter of time before states begin passing these laws and bullying issues become a major factor in workplace litigation.
"Once it passes in a few states, there will be a chain reaction," she says, noting that other countries such as England, Ireland and Sweden already have laws addressing workplace harassment.
In Massachusetts, the National Association of Government Employees (NAGE) Local 282 has been one the first unions in the country to include an anti-bullying clause in collective bargaining agreements.
"From a labor perspective, we want there to be remedies in place for corrections to be made, not to yell, scream, threaten or treat the person basically like a slave," says Greg Sorozan, president of NAGE, which represents about 12,000 public employees.
In 2008, Sorozan succeeded in placing "mutual respect" provisions in labor contracts with the state that say harassment, abusive language and bullying behavior will not be tolerated in the workplace. It allows workers to raise concerns with managers and file a grievance if not satisfied.
Sorozan says the provision recently helped workers in a state office who complained about a manager who acted bizarrely, leering at employees over cubicles and randomly punishing those who questioned him by reassigning them or refusing to let them take vacations. After the union complained, the manager was eventually forced out.
The management association survey found that 56 percent of companies have some kind of anti-bullying policy, usually contained in an employee handbook or code of conduct. Most said their response to bullying allegations depends on the circumstances but could include suspension, termination, reassignment or mandatory anger-management training.
Employers say the vast majority of bullying incidents are verbal abuse, such as shouting, swearing and name-calling, along with malicious gossip, rumors and lies. Bullying through technology, such as Facebook or other social media, accounted for about 1 in 5 incidents, the survey found.
"It's usually the manager or senior executive who's just a complete out-of-control jerk," Fiester says. "Everyone's going to be walking on eggshells around somebody like that. You're afraid to make mistakes, you're afraid to speak up, you're afraid to challenge."
If the bully is a senior manager or CEO, resolving a complaint can be tricky for a low-level human resources employee.
"It might be a little bit difficult to discipline the CEO," says Fiester, the human resources adviser. "You are really walking a tightrope." She suggests approaching someone else in senior management who might be in a better position to approach the boss.

Women are more frequently bullied than men. In fact, a survey by the Workplace Bullying Institute found that 62 percent of bullies were men and 58 percent of targets were women. The survey also revealed that the majority (68 percent) of bullying is same-gender harassment and that women bullies target women 80 percent of the time.

Recipe by BENADAM
"This recipe makes a very flavorful chilled side salad filled with rice and vegetables, and dressed with oil and vinegar."
Watch video tips and tricks
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
2 1/2 cups water
1 cup drained canned French style green beans
1 cup pitted black olives
1 roasted red pepper, drained and diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 dill pickle spear, diced
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
This was easy to prepare and was very popular. Great prepared a day in advance, and left-overs were still good the day after the party. I whizzed up the garlic in the dressing to prevent anyone chewing on lumps of garlic. I think it helped blend the flavour too.
I don't have much experience with Mediterranean salads but I was a bit dissapointed with this one. It lacked something. I added more vinegar and oil, added oregano, salt, pepper... and still it lacked something... I added feta cheese... still lacked something. Maybe a little lemon juice and flat leave parsley or basil. I didn't add the pickle b/c I didn't have it and I didn't see it fitting into the mediterranean concept. Was the pickle the secret ingredient? Over all, not bad experience, but not super either.
7 Ratings
Enjoyed this with Barbequed Greek chicken, pitas and hummus. Thanks
This was okay, nothing spectacular. I too left out the pickle since I did not have any on hand. It really must be the secret ingredient. I don't think I'll make this again, but it was fun to try something new.
Delicious! Thanks.
