Jim Edmonds and Albert Pujols, who entered Saturday night ranking second and fourth in the NL in home runs, respectively, have both been selected to take their cuts in the Monday night showcase. Edmonds, with 28 dingers, trails only the torrid Barry Bonds, while Mike Lowell stands between Edmonds and Pujols on the list of the league's top longballers so far this year.
Gary Sheffield is also scheduled to participate, with the fourth NL slugger yet to be announced. Pujols declined to comment on the invitation, but Edmonds acknowledged the Derby would provide an entertaining challenge.
Edmonds has participated in a similar event before -- the MLB Players Association's "Big League Challenge," held every winter in Las Vegas. He's hoping for different results this time, though in the "Windy City" it's never a sure thing.
Edmonds said that he is unconcerned about the possibility that swinging for the fences will damage his regular swing.
"I'd be surprised if I hit any," he said, perhaps half-seriously. "I'd be surprised if I won. You just never know what's gonna happen. It's all about who you get to throw for you."
Pujols, Edgar Renteria and Scott Rolen were all voted to the NL's starting lineup in fan balloting. Either Pujols or Bonds is likely to be the designated hitter on Tuesday night, opening a spot for a center fielder -- which could be Edmonds. And right-hander Woody Williams is a long shot, but a possibility, to be the starting pitcher.
"I've heard stories but I don't know exactly what's going on," Edmonds said. "I know that between the three outfielders that are starting, we need a DH and obviously there's no center fielder. There's myself and Andruw (Jones), and I don't know who else. I think Preston Wilson is there, he's a center fielder."

(RNN) – Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Firing poor defensive coordinator Manny Diaz and replacing him with Greg Robinson should have been a welcomed relief to the Texas Longhorns (1-2, 0-0 Big 12) as they faced the No. 25-ranked Ole Miss Rebels, but it was not.
In the upset special of Week 3, Ole Miss went to Austin and beat Texas 44-23.
The misery on Mack Brown's face said it all Saturday night: missing out on two Heisman-winning quarterback's in his own backyard (Johnny Manziel and Robert Griffin III), their rivals becoming more prominent in recruiting and too many revolving coaches under him are the biggest pieces to the shattered expectations of Mack Brown's last few years in Austin.
No. 11 Michigan won by the skin of its teeth, beating the Akron Zips 28-24. Quarterback Devin Gardner was not at his best, going 16-for-30 for 248 yards, with two touchdowns, three interceptions and a fumble.
Despite nearly losing to the Zips (1-2, 0-0 MAC), the Wolverines won their 17th straight home game, the longest home winning streak among BCS-schools, according to ESPN.
Week 3 winners
Ohio State – Braxton Miller's Heisman trophy campaign is slowed by his strained knee, but the No. 4 Buckeyes (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) aren't being slowed down. With the arm of fifth-year quarterback Kenny Guiton, Ohio State defeated Cal (1-2, 0-0 Pac-12) 52-34. Guiton's stat line: 21-for-32 for 276 yards and four touchdowns.
Other good news for the Buckeyes: they still hold the longest active regular-season winning streak with 15 victories. NEXT UP: vs. Florida A&M.
Louisville – The silent killers, AKA No. 7 Louisville (3-0, 0-0 AAC) defeated in state rival Kentucky 27-13 (1-2, 0-0 SEC) after rallying in the second half after a slow start.
A few thoughts: Louisville is running football right now in the state and UK seems to be fine with that; Kentucky hired a Stoops brother? Doesn't seem like it; they are both playing a team from Florida in their next games: the Cardinals play Florida International on Sept. 21, and the Wildcats are playing No. 18 Florida on Sept 28. Good luck with that, UK. NEXT UP: vs. Florida International.
Florida State – If you're not aware of the No. 10-ranked Seminoles' freshman quarterback Jameis Winston, get used to him. Aside from his stellar performance in his first start against Pittsburgh on Sept. 2, he continued to have people asking, "How did this recruit get away from Nick Saban?" Saban is kicking himself, why wouldn't he want to continue stockpiling talent?
Winston went 15-for-18, with 214 yards, two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown, plus an interception in Florida State's 62-7 defeat of Nevada. Winston has six touchdowns and one interception in his first two starts. NEXT UP: vs. Bethune-Cookman.
Oregon – As the No. 2-ranked Ducks methodically spanked the Tennessee Volunteers 59-14 in Eugene, the Oregon faithful began chanting "We want Bama! We want Bama!" No, you don't. You don't want Alabama at home, at a neutral site, in Tuscaloosa, on Mars, on the Death Star, or on the way to grandmother's house.
It's easy to think when you're beating the 10th best team in the Southeastern Conference that you're ready for the big dog. Nevertheless, the way Alabama was exposed on defense, allowing more than 600 yards of total offense to Texas A&M, Oregon's high-powered offense might be ready. Maybe. NEXT UP: vs. California on Sept. 28.
Stanford – Much like Louisville, the No. 5-ranked Stanford Cardinals (2-0, 0-0 Pac-12) are methodically staying the course to a conference championship appearance. Stanford defeated Army 34-20 on the road. NEXT UP: vs. Arizona State.
Other Top 25 winners: No. 12 Oklahoma State rose above the Sports Illustrated drama this week and defeated Lamar 59-3; No. 14 Oklahoma beat Tulsa 51-20; No. 16 UCLA beat No. 23-ranked Nebraska 41-21; No. 17 Northwestern beat Western Michigan 38-17; No. 19 Washington beat Illinois 34-24; No. 21 Notre Dame beat Purdue 31-24.
Week 3 losers
Wisconsin – In a late night thriller, No. 20-ranked Wisconsin were defeated by Arizona State 32-30. Certainly not the upset of the weekend (see Texas above), it will certainly will bring another team up as Wisconsin may drop out of the rankings because of poor clock management. NEXT UP: vs. Purdue.
TCU – No. 24 TCU looked undisciplined in a 20-10 loss at Texas Tech, with 13 penalties for 115 yards and going 3 of 16 for their third down conversions, not doing them any favors in their Thursday night defeat.
Texas football legend Kliff Kingsbury won his first Big 12 conference game as the head coach of the Texas Tech Red Raiders, despite his team having fewer first downs, total offensive yards and time of possession than the Horned Frogs. NEXT UP: vs. Southern Methodist on Sept. 28.
Week 4 game of the week: Michigan State @ No. 21 Notre Dame, 3:30 p.m. ET, NBC – Coming off a win vs. Purdue, Notre Dame continues to try to climb back up the polls after their loss to Michigan last week.

Let me tell you the story of a little Halloween princess...
She was a good little witch who studied her spells.
Oh, and sometimes she studied the books about the latest trends in Witchcraft fashions!
Well, what can I say? She was a teenaged witch. She also spent a fair bit of time texting and using her magical orb to instant message her friends.
She murmured a little spell to herself... she even dug out an old family spell and put it to good use...
It guaranteed her her heart's desire if she would just follow the directions. She did so to the letter.
Although she was tired... she'd spent the entire day pondering her possible costume choices for the event...
Her Raven had arrived! Would she bear good news?
Raven indeed carried tickets to the gala event of the Halloween season! The little witch was beside herself with excitement!
She knew it was time to let the magic begin... and to make a costume decision.
Perhaps she could be an elegant princess?
Some sort of pirate girl costume would be appropriate, she was sure of that.
What about a butterfly princess? She decided against it, as there would be true butterfly princesses at the ball and she'd not want to ruffle anyone's wings. Those butterfly princesses were a deceptively cranky lot.
She finally decided to be a rock and roll witchy woman... witch-ay woman. She waved her wand and she was off!
She accessorized with the gorgeous bracelet that she'd put together by participating in Saucy's Halloween Charm swap. Each and every charm was gorgeous, and although she'd only kept a few, she embellished her bracelet with vintage earrings, brooches and bits and bobs in her tickle trunk. It was the perfect conversation piece to wear at a Halloween Ball.
She would talk about the lovely ladies who participated and invite fellow guests to watch the blog for the upcoming announcement about the Christmas Charm swap... she was sure they would be as excited for it as they'd been about Halloween!
The goodies were delectable. There were cupcakes of course. It was, after all, National Cupcake Day.
... and the most delicious tricked-out double candy and caramel apples topped with a chocolate dipped pretzel!
Above all, the little witch wanted to thank sweet Vanessa for hosting the annual event... she makes everything in blogland so very special.
And to you , Dear Readers and fellow party guests... Saucy and the little fashion-conscious party-hopping Halloween witch would like to offer you the opportunity to win a handmade Halloween Cupcake Charm Bracelet from Saucy's Etsy shop (like the one listed below). Just leave a comment on this post AND the post below... what a wonderful way to celebrate this most spectacular, magical, mystifying holiday! Good luck!

First Person: Covering a no-hitter
MLB.com's Sullivan gives personal account of Buehrle's gem
CHICAGO -- Sandy Koufax once said he started every game trying to throw a perfect game.If he walked one batter, his goal was to throw a no-hitter, and if he gave up a hit, he aimed for a shutout. And so on. Koufax was on to something, and considering he threw four no-hitters, including one perfect game, he knew what he was talking about. Nolan Ryan, who also was somewhat of an expert on the subject, said he really never thought about a no-hitter until it got into the eighth inning because he knew how hard it was finish one off. Problem is, Ryan never covered Nolan Ryan as a baseball writer or sat in the stands as a fan for one of Nolan Ryan's starts. I did for five years. I completely agree with Koufax, and I did so long before I started covering Ryan for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. If the pitcher retires the leadoff batter in the first inning, he has a no-hitter going. It's game on, and the watch begins. That's why it was so much fun to once again witness history as Mark Buehrle threw the 16th no-hitter in Chicago White Sox history against the Rangers on Wednesday night at U.S. Cellular Field. As 25,390 fans seem to agree, there is nothing like the tangible growing tension, suspense and excitement that comes with watching a pitcher -- inning by inning -- make his bid for glory. It doesn't happen very often, but often enough to tantalize you -- maybe not from the first inning, but certainly by the start of the fourth, when certain members up in the press box have been known to start up a no-hitter pool. Once a pitcher is through five, the wire services start notifying news outlets across the country and around the world that a no-hitter is in progress, as they did on Wednesday night for both Buehrle and John Maine of the New York Mets. By this time, the crowd is completely aware of it and so are teammates, who stop talking to the pitcher, and so are the home broadcasters, who don't mention the phrase "no-hitter" on the air for fear of jinxing the pitcher. The first time I ever heard a potential no-hitter being broadcast on the air was 40 years ago. I was listening to the Hawaii Islanders and Al Michaels, their yet-to-be-nationally-known broadcaster said, "We go into the ninth and Vern Geishert has something special going on here at Honolulu Stadium." Eventually the final three innings come and that one last turn through the batting order. On Wednesday night you ticked them off one by one ... there goes Ian Kinsler, he got Michael Young, there goes Mark Teixeira.
As each one of the Rangers' best hitters went down, the realization grew greater that Buehrle was going to get there. He knew it, his teammates knew it, so did everybody else in U.S. Cellular Field.
This was the fourth no-hitter I've covered, the first since Kenny Rogers' perfect game in 1994, and the fifth Major League no-hitter I've witnessed at a Major League ballpark. All you need to know about how I feel about them is that I was a Giants fans at the University of San Francisco, but I was standing and applauding in the seventh inning that cold night at Candlestick Park when the Dodgers' Jerry Reuss got through six innings without giving up a hit.I was still standing when Reuss finished off the final three innings and so were almost all of 20,285 at Candlestick that night. Even a Dodger can get a "standing O" in San Francisco if he throws a no-hitter. Ryan could get a standing ovation everywhere, and there was absolutely no doubt that most people showed up at the ballpark on nights that he pitched either hoping or expecting a no-hitter. Twice he did not disappoint while he was with the Rangers -- on June 11, 1990, in Oakland and May 1, 1991, at Arlington Stadium against the Toronto Blue Jays. I was there for both and still remember telling my old USF buddies hours before the game in Oakland that I would meet them afterward for a beer. "Unless Ryan throws a no-hitter," I told them. "Then I won't be able to make it." You always had to make contingencies when Ryan pitched. Some writers did go for a beer after Ryan threw No. 7 against the Blue Jays, and my buddy Jim Reeves said, "Let's just stop and think a minute about what we just saw." I know what we saw. A no-hitter. Baseball history. You live for it every time you go to a ballpark.

Willis McGahee - RB - Free AgentFree agent Willis McGahee confirmed he intends to play in 2013.McGahee didn't seem bothered by his Thursday release from the Broncos, saying he knew it was going to happen. Although he'll be 32 in October, he might be the best running back available. After averaging 4.63 YPC over the last two years, he can at least fill a power back role behind a starter. "There are a lot of places I wouldn't mind playing," he said. "You got Miami, Dallas, Green Bay, San Diego, Oakland. That's not necessarily my order of preference, though."Source: ESPN.com
If he's healthy, I would take him in a heartbeat. But why would the Broncos cut him if he was healthy? I have a feeling he didn't look so good in camp.

As the health law's online marketplaces prepare to open next month, many people wonder how they will work. Who is eligible? How can they apply for subsidies? Will consumers be able to comparison-shop as they might when buying an airline ticket or hotel room?
Here are responses to some common questions.
Q: What is an exchange?
A: It's an online marketplace where individuals and small employers will be able to shop for insurance coverage. You can get information at www.healthcare.gov, which has details on the federal exchanges and links to state-run exchanges. The exchanges will also help people find out whether they are eligible for federal subsidies to help cover the cost of coverage or eligible for Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program for the poor.
Q: Will all states have exchanges?
A: Yes. Some states will run their own, and in others, they will be set up by the federal government; in several states, the exchange will be a federal-state partnership.
Q: Who will use the exchanges?
A: They're aimed at people who are uninsured, people who don't get coverage through their employer and those whose employer-based coverage is too costly and/or lacking in benefits.
Q: But not everyone will be allowed to buy from the exchanges, right?
A: Right. People who are in the country illegally will be barred. Legal immigrants are permitted to use the marketplaces and may qualify for subsidies if their income is no more than 400 percent of the federal poverty level (about $46,000 for an individual and $94,200 for a family of four).
Most workers and their families already have coverage through their jobs, and they will not be likely to buy policies on the exchanges. However, for businesses with 50 or fewer workers, the federal marketplaces and most states will have a Small Business Health Options program, or SHOP exchange, that will give employees more options than they now have. Most states and the federal marketplaces will allow only businesses with 50 or fewer workers to purchase through the exchanges initially.
Q: How will the process work?
A: If you have a computer, it's relatively straightforward. You can go online to Healthcare.gov or to your state-run exchange, if there is one, and create an account. Then you would fill out an application and provide information such as household size, location, income and citizenship status.
Then the exchange takes over. It first determines whether you are eligible for Medicaid; if so, it will refer you there. If not, it will tell you how much of a subsidy you can receive. (These subsidies will be sent directly by the government to the insurer to pay a portion of the premium.)
After that, the exchange will show you a list of health plans and their premiums and out-of-pocket costs, including deductibles and co-payments. If you decide to buy one of those plans, in most cases, you will be directed to the insurer's Web site to make the payment. In some jurisdictions, consumers will make their first premium payment to the exchange and then further monthly payments to the insurer.
You can also fill out paper applications or apply over the phone. The federal and state exchange sites have toll-free numbers where consumers can find information about getting help in person.
Q: If my employer offers me insurance already, can I shop on the exchange to get a better deal?
A: Even if your employer offers coverage, you can opt to buy a plan on the exchange. However, you may not be eligible for a subsidy unless you make less than 400 percent of the federal poverty level and your employer's plan covers less than 60 percent of allowed medical expenses or costs more than 9.5 percent of your household income.
Q: If I am buying coverage on my own, do I have to buy it on the exchange?
A: Consumers can shop for coverage on or off the exchange. However, subsidies are generally available only for plans sold on the exchange. Also, adults up to the age of 26 have another choice: They often can get coverage through their parents' health plans.
Q: What will the coverage sold on the exchanges look like?
A: Plans will have to offer a set of "essential benefits" that include in-patient hospital care, emergency, maternity and pediatric care as well as coverage for prescription drugs and lab services. Annual cost-sharing, or the amount consumers must pay for co-payments for medical services and deductibles, will be capped at $6,350 for individual policies and $12,700 for family plans in 2014.
Q: What kinds of plans will be offered?
A: Insurers will offer four types of plans, based on the deductibles, co-payments and other costs the consumer will have to pick up. Insurers must present them in a standardized way so consumers can examine the benefits and cost and comparison-shop (not exactly as they might when booking a hotel or buying an airline flight, but almost).
Q: What if I can't afford the premiums?
A: The health law provides sliding-scale subsidies to help people with incomes up to 400 percent of the poverty level, as explained above. There's additional help for co-payments and deductibles for people with incomes of up to 250 percent of the poverty level ($28,725 for an individual or $58,875 for a family of four). According to government estimates, subsidies will average $5,290 per person in 2014. People who get subsidies are required to pay 2 to 9.5 percent of their income toward premiums, based on how much money they make.
Q: The health law also expands Medicaid. How will I know if I qualify?
A: The law sought to extend Medicaid to everyone who earns less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level - just under $16,000 for an individual and $32,500 for a family of four based on current guidelines. However, the Supreme Court ruled last year that states may opt out of that expansion. As of early this month, 22 states had chosen not to expand. People who would have qualified for Medicaid in states that don't participate in the expansion can enroll in the exchanges, but they won't qualify for subsidies if their income is below the federal poverty limit.
Q: I am on Medicare. Do I need to use the exchange?
A: No. Medicare is not part of the health insurance exchanges. Medicare applicants can continue to go to Medicare.gov to sign up during their open enrollment period, which begins Oct. 15.
Q: What about federal workers?
A: Most federal workers will continue to get coverage through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) and not be required to purchase coverage through the marketplaces. Members of Congress and their personal staffs, however, will be required to use the exchanges. The administration said the government would continue to pay up to 75 percent of the premium, as it does for federal workers enrolled in FEHBP, under a proposed rule by the Office of Personnel Management. Members of Congress and their personal staffs will not be eligible for the health law's subsidies and will purchase coverage on the exchange in the state where they live, the agency said.
Q: Where can I go for help?
A: You can start with Healthcare.gov. Beginning Oct. 1, the site will publish more information about the plans offered on the federally administered exchanges. If your state is running its own exchange, you'll be directed there as well. The federal government has also set up call centers to answer questions from people in states with federal exchanges. That phone number is 800-318-2596. States running their own exchanges will also have individual call centers.
Q: What happens if I don't purchase insurance?
A: The penalty starts at $95 or 1 percent of income for the first year and rises to $695, or 2.5 percent of income for an individual in 2016.

NORWOOD, Colo. — At the state high-school wrestling tournament in Denver last year, three upperclassmen cornered a 13-year-old boy on an empty school bus, bound him with duct tape and sodomized him with a pencil.
For the boy and his family, that was only the beginning.
The students were from Norwood, Colo., a ranching town of about 500 people near the Telluride ski resort. Two of the attackers were sons of Robert Harris, the wrestling coach, who was president of the school board. The victim's father was the K-12 principal.
After the principal reported the incident to police, townspeople forced him to resign. Students protested against the victim at school, put "Go to Hell" stickers on his locker and wore T-shirts that supported the perpetrators. The attackers later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges, according to the Denver district attorney's office.
"Nobody would help us," said the victim's father, who asked not to be named to protect his son's privacy. Bloomberg News doesn't identify victims of sexual assault. "We contacted everybody and nobody would help us," he said.
High-school hazing and bullying used to involve name- calling, towel-snapping and stuffing boys into lockers. Now, boys sexually abusing other boys is part of the ritual. More than 40 high school boys were sodomized with foreign objects by their teammates in over a dozen alleged incidents reported in the past year, compared with about three incidents a decade ago, according to a Bloomberg review of court documents and news accounts.
Among them, boys were raped with a broken flagpole outside Los Angeles; a metal concrete-reinforcing bar in Fontana, Calif.; a jump-rope handle in Greenfield, Iowa; and a water bottle in Hardin, Mo., according to court rulings and prosecutors.
At New York's elite Bronx High School of Science, three teenage track-team members were arrested after a freshman teammate alleged they repeatedly hazed him between December and February, including holding the boy down and sodomizing him with their fingers. They pleaded not guilty in New York state criminal court in the Bronx, according to Melvin Hernandez, a spokesman for the Bronx District Attorney's office. A lawyer for one of the boys was unavailable for comment; the other two declined to comment.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY- (November 14, 2011) – When Debi Pacia Pascale had a breast cancer scare in September, Hudson Valley Hospital Center was able to give her peace of mind with quick test results and compassionate care during her mammogram.
The following month, Debi decided to return the favor. She and her staff at The Cutting Edge Hair and Nail Salon in Cortlandt Manor raised more than $900 during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to support the Hospital's new Comprehensive Cancer Care Center.
"I was really impressed with how caring the staff was during my scare and how they were able to get me in so quickly and get my results within 45 minutes,'' she said. "I was so grateful that they were able to tell me even before I left the building that everything was going to be alright."
Debi said the salon raised the funds by selling pink hair extensions that were donated by one of her staff members, Neil Rosoff, formerly of Dana Cole Salon. The staff also held a raffle for $100 gift certificate to the salon.
William C. Dauster, Executive Director of the Foundation of HVHC, said that the Hospital was grateful for the donation. The Hospital recently launched a fundraising campaign to raise $5 million to offset the cost of the new Comprehensive Cancer Care Center, which is opening on November 17.
"The opening of this new Comprehensive Cancer Center proves that people do not have to go into New York City to get the quality of care they need,'' said Dauster. "We could not have accomplished this without the support of the community. We thank all our donors large and small for their commitment to this cause.''
For more information about the campaign and its naming opportunities, call the Foundation at 914-734-3526 or visit hvhc.npgdev.com.
Hudson Valley Hospital Center is dedicated to serving the health care needs of the community and to providing quality, comprehensive medical care in a compassionate, professional, respectful manner. Offering state-of-the-art diagnostic treatment, education and preventive services, the Hospital is committed to improving the quality of life in the community. In fulfilling this mission, the Hospital will strive to continuously improve the care provided and develop and offer programs, facilities, systems and alliances that most effectively respond to community health care needs. Hudson Valley Hospital Center is located on Route 202 (1980 Crompond Road) in Cortlandt Manor, New York. Call 914-737-9000 or visit hvhc.npgdev.com

What is a peptic ulcer?
A peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of your stomach or duodenum *. The duodenum is the first part of your small intestine. A peptic ulcer in the stomach is called a gastric ulcer. One that is in the duodenum is called a duodenal ulcer. A peptic ulcer also may develop just above your stomach in the esophagus, the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. But most peptic ulcers develop in the stomach or duodenum.
*See Pronunciation Guide for tips on how to say the words in bold type.
Many people have peptic ulcers. You can have both gastric and duodenal ulcers at the same time and you also can have more than one ulcer in your lifetime.
Peptic ulcers can be treated successfully. Seeing your doctor is the first step.[Top]
What causes peptic ulcers?
Most peptic ulcers are caused by
- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a germ that causes infection
- nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen
H. pylori is the most common cause of peptic ulcers. Doctors think H. pylori may be spread through unclean food or water or by mouth-to-mouth contact, such as kissing. Even though many people have an H. pylori infection, most of them never develop an ulcer.
Use of NSAIDs is the second most common cause of peptic ulcers. But not everyone who takes NSAIDs gets a peptic ulcer. Ulcers caused by NSAIDs are more often found in people who
- are age 60 or older
- are female
- have taken NSAIDs for a long time
- have had an ulcer before
Other causes of peptic ulcers are rare. One rare cause is Zollinger-Ellison syndrome—a disease that makes the body produce too much stomach acid, which harms the lining of the stomach or duodenum.
Stress or spicy food does not cause peptic ulcers, but either can make ulcer symptoms worse.[Top]
What are the symptoms of peptic ulcers?
A dull or burning pain in your stomach is the most common symptom of peptic ulcers. You may feel the pain anywhere between your belly button and breastbone. The pain often
- starts between meals or during the night
- briefly stops if you eat or take antacids
- lasts for minutes to hours
- comes and goes for several days or weeks
Other symptoms of peptic ulcers may include
- weight loss
- poor appetite
- bloating
- burping
- vomiting
- feeling sick to your stomach
Even if your symptoms are mild, you may have peptic ulcers. You should see your doctor to talk about your symptoms. Peptic ulcers can get worse if they aren't treated.
Call your doctor right away if you have
- sudden sharp stomach pain that doesn't go away
- black or bloody stools
- bloody vomit or vomit that looks like coffee grounds
These symptoms could be signs an ulcer has
- broken a blood vessel
- gone through, or perforated, your stomach or duodenal wall
- stopped food from moving from your stomach into the duodenum
These symptoms must be treated quickly. You may need surgery.[Top]
How are peptic ulcers diagnosed?
Tell your doctor about your symptoms and which medicines you take. Be sure to mention those you get without a prescription, such as Bayer, Motrin, Advil, or Aleve. These medicines are all NSAIDs.
To see if you have an H. pylori infection, your doctor will test your blood, breath, or stool. About half of all people who develop an ulcer from NSAIDs also have an H. pylori infection.
Your doctor also may want to look inside your stomach and duodenum by doing an endoscopy or an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series—a type of x ray. Both procedures are painless.
For an endoscopy, you will be given medicine to relax you. Then the doctor will pass an endoscope—a thin, lighted tube with a tiny camera—through your mouth to your stomach and duodenum. Your doctor also may take a small piece of tissue—no bigger than a match head—to look at through a microscope. This process is called a biopsy.
For an upper GI series, you will drink a liquid called barium. The barium will make your stomach and duodenum show up clearly on the x rays.[Top]
How are peptic ulcers treated?
If you have peptic ulcers, they can be cured. Depending on what caused your ulcers, your doctor may prescribe one or more of the following medicines:
- a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or histamine receptor blocker (H2 blocker) to reduce stomach acid and protect the lining of your stomach and duodenum
- one or more antibiotics to kill an H. pylori infection
- a medicine that contains bismuth subsalicylate, such as Pepto-Bismol, to coat the ulcers and protect them from stomach acid
These medicines will stop the pain and help heal the ulcers.
If an NSAID caused your peptic ulcers, your doctor may tell you to
- stop taking the NSAID
- reduce how much of the NSAID you take
- take a PPI or H2 blocker with the NSAID
- switch to another medicine that won't cause ulcers
You should take
- only the medicines your doctor tells you to take
- all medicines exactly as your doctor tells you to, even if your pain stops
Tell your doctor if the medicines make you feel sick or dizzy or cause diarrhea or headaches. Your doctor can change your medicines.
And if you smoke, quit. You also should avoid alcohol. Smoking and drinking alcohol slow the healing of ulcers and can make them worse.[Top]
Can antacids or milk help peptic ulcers heal?
Neither antacids—such as Tums—nor milk can heal peptic ulcers, although each may make you feel better briefly. Check with your doctor before taking antacids or drinking milk while your ulcers are healing.
Some of the antibiotics used for H. pylori infection may not work as well if you take antacids. And while antacids may make ulcer pain go away for a while, they won't kill the H. pylori germ. Only antibiotics can do that.
Many people used to think that drinking milk helped peptic ulcers heal. But doctors know now that while milk may make ulcers feel better briefly, it also increases stomach acid. Too much stomach acid makes ulcers worse.
What if peptic ulcers don't heal?
In many cases, medicines heal ulcers. If an H. pylori infection caused your ulcers, you must finish all antibiotics and take any other medicines your doctor prescribes. The infection and ulcers will only heal if you take all medicines as prescribed.
When you have finished your medicines, your doctor will do a breath or stool test to be sure the H. pylori infection is gone. Sometimes, the H. pylori germ is still there, even after a person has taken all the medicines correctly. If that happens, your doctor will prescribe different antibiotics to get rid of the infection and cure your ulcers.
Rarely, surgery is needed to help ulcers heal. You may need surgery if your ulcers
- don't heal
- keep coming back
- bleed
- perforate the stomach or duodenal wall
- block food from moving out of the stomach
Surgery can
- remove the ulcers
- reduce the amount of acid in your stomach
Can peptic ulcers come back?
Yes. If you smoke or take NSAIDs, your ulcers may come back. If you need to take an NSAID, your doctor may switch you to a different medicine or add medicines to help prevent ulcers.[Top]
What can I do to prevent peptic ulcers?
To help prevent ulcers caused by H. pylori,
- wash your hands with soap and water after using the bathroom and before eating
- eat food that has been washed well and cooked properly
- drink water from a clean, safe source
To help prevent ulcers caused by NSAIDs,
- stop using NSAIDs, if possible
- take NSAIDs with a meal, if you still need NSAIDs
- use a lower dose of NSAIDs
- ask your doctor about medicines to protect your stomach and duodenum while taking NSAIDs
- ask your doctor about switching to a medicine that won't cause ulcers
Points to Remember
- A peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of the stomach, duodenum, or esophagus.
- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a germ, is the most common cause of peptic ulcers.
- Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)—such as aspirin and ibuprofen—is the second most common cause of peptic ulcers.
- Neither stress nor spicy food causes peptic ulcers. But like smoking or drinking alcohol, either can make ulcer symptoms worse.
- If H. pylori caused the ulcers, antibiotics are taken to kill the germ.
- If NSAIDs caused the ulcers, a doctor will decide the best treatment.
- Medicines that reduce stomach acid and protect the lining of the stomach and duodenum help ulcers heal.
- Tips to help prevent ulcers caused by H. pylori infection include
- washing your hands after using the bathroom and before eating
- eating properly prepared food
- drinking water from a clean, safe source
- Tips to help prevent ulcers caused by NSAIDs include
- stopping NSAIDs, if possible
- taking NSAIDs with a meal
- using a lower dose of NSAIDs
- talking with your doctor about medicines to protect your stomach and duodenum while taking NSAIDs
- asking your doctor about switching to a medicine that won't cause ulcers
Hope through Research
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports research into many kinds of digestive disorders, including peptic ulcers. Scientists are working to identify
- antibiotics that will treat the H. pylori infection in less time
- antibiotic combinations that get rid of hard-to-treat H. pylori infections
- ways the H. pylori germ spreads and infects people
- new NSAIDs and medicines that offer the same benefits of NSAIDs but that won't cause ulcers
- new medicines to protect the lining of the stomach and duodenum
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.[Top]

Off The Grid DVD - Beattie Outdoor Productions
Product Description
For the past two years we have been working on a little fly fishing film project called Off the Grid. That little project took on a life of its own, and grew a bit larger than we initially anticipated. Originally the film was going to be released in March of 2011, but will finally be available the 1st week of October... only 8 months late, but worth the wait! The new DVD is a collection of films from two years on the road - filming fly fishing in an assortment of locations around the world. All of the films are connected by a common theme: there places, that for our crew, were out of the ordinary. We basically tried to avoid as many of the "Big Name" waters, hatches and fishing grounds as we could. We do visit a few regions that are by no means off the beaten path, but try to show them in a different light. All said and done the DVD boasts over two hours of fly fishing content... here's what's on the Disk:
Off the Grid:
The "title track," so to speak, is the hour long master cut that ties all of the major locations and segments into a (somewhat cohesive) story.
If you spend 9 days on bluewater boats in the middle of the ocean, off the coast of Guatemala, fishing with the best captains, crews and anglers in the world - it turns out you get a ton of killer Marlin and Sailfish content. Bluewater is a short film about chasing some of the largest and fastest fish in the sea - with a fly rod in hand.
Midwest Tour:
With segments featuring Brookies in Michigan, Carp in the Great Lakes and Pike and Smallies in Wisconsin Rivers - this film offers a brief look into a few of the fishing opportunities in the Midwest.
Short Films:
We've included over a dozen short films - Drake Magazine award winners, instrumental action cuts and other short stories.
Action Cut:
Some people would go so far as to call it "Fishporn," we're not really sure what it is - except for a 15 minute montage-collage of our favorite fishing segments and clips, cut to music. What we would loop at a party or while tying flies.
We've never really consciously filmed any fly tying instructionals, but low and behold, we ended up with three segments as a result of all the filming. Nothing fancy, just three very gifted tiers showing you one of their favorite patterns.
Filmed on Location:
Alaska, BC Canada, Bahamas, Colorado, Florida, Guatemala, Idaho, Louisiana, Mexico, Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming

CNHI News Service
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. — A Pennsylvania company says it has found a better way to help the nation's schools battle bullying – with the click of a computer mouse.
A program called Hibster, created by Coast 2 Coast Cellular, allows school officials to quickly file, report and track bullying and intimidation accusations and to spot trends, said Chief Operating Officer Lonta Townsend.
In the past two years, more that 200 schools have adopted the Hibster software program in New Jersey, where a strict 2011 law has mandated that school leaders both report and address bullying accusations. With other states considering similar moves, Townsend said the company has new opportunities to take the program nationwide.
"We've created a universal reporting system that I don't think anyone else can match," said Townsend. "It gives schools a program that is set up specific to each state's guidelines ... and streamlines the information collection and reporting process."
Coast 2 Coast's operations director, Beth Freiwald, said the software was conceived three years ago as a way to help schools battle bullying. The development came at a time when stories across the country drew attention to students who had killed themselves because of mistreatment at school and through social networks.
New Jersey crafted requirements in 2011 forcing state schools to document, investigate and resolve accusations of bullying. State guidelines require school administrators, parents involved and board leaders to be alerted of findings. Schools were expected to quickly implement the new guidelines, and some worried about the cost.
Townsend said that's where Hibster comes in. The software program saves school officials time by eliminating the paper process, providing an efficient reporting program so schools "don't have to reinvent the wheel" to comply.
School staff and administrators are able to add data into the program, selecting the type of offense and location where it occurred. They also can upload surveillance camera video or screenshots of social media harassment, if applicable, Freiwald said.
Meanwhile, parents and students can use a Web portal to report bullying allegations. Those too must be investigated, Townsend said.
Freiwald said New Jersey's state education officials are able to review the information – with individual names redacted – to spot areas where bullying instances are high.
"They want to see the trends," she added.
Other states are considering bills patterned after New Jersey's law, Pennsylvania among them. A bipartisan group of 95 state representatives is working to push the Pa. Safe Schools (Pass) Act through the House.
Hurst writes for The Tribune-Democrat in Johnstown, Pa.

Cut Costs by Taking Classes Elsewhere
Saving for College
Cut Costs by Taking Classes Elsewhere
The average student takes four years to complete an undergraduate degree, which means the total cost of that education is four years at a specific school. But your student might be able to shorten the time spent at a four-year school by taking some required classes at a local community college, either in person or online. For example, say an introductory English literature course is required as part of your student's degree program; a similar class may be offered at a local community college at a significantly lower cost. By strategically taking certain classes, your student may be able to complete his or her degree in three and a half years instead of four at a lower total cost. Check out summer classes taking one or two classes each summer could not only be cheaper but could also allow your son or daughter to enter the workforce sooner (if that is his or her goal, of course).

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- Southfield's police chief says his department is still investigating the death of a 25-year-old man at a shopping mall.Chief Eric Hawkins says his department is waiting on results of a toxicology report in the death of McKenzie Cochran, who died Jan. 28 after a struggle with security at Northland Mall.
"The police department has not made a decision on fault on this matter," said Hawkins, who plans to turn findings over to the Oakland County prosecutor once the investigation is complete.Hawkins says Cochran was pepper-sprayed and restrained by private security guards hired by Northland Mall after a shop owner felt threatened and called for help.Hawkins say it likely will take weeks to complete the investigation.Video aired by FOX 2 shows guards restraining a person who says he can't breathe. About 30 people held a protest at the mall last week, demanding an explanation.Cochran's family attorney, Gerald Thurswell, says he will file a wrongful death lawsuit whether criminal charges are filed against the guards or not.Two state legislators, Representatives Thomas Stallworth III (D-Detroit) and Rudy Hobbs (D-Southfield), are also calling for a review of state training standards for security guard forces.-- The Associated Press contributed to this report

The groundbreaking today at 500 Grimes Road-- directly across Interstate-65 from the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green-- opens the throttle on up to 80,000 visitors each year, bringing an estimated impact of $15 million in motorsports tourism and racing events revenues.
"Motorsports enthusiasts from across America have a new favorite destination," announced Bob Stewart, Secretary of the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet. "Once fully operational, The NCM Motorsports Park will draw as many as 80,000 visitors to Bowling Green to drive their dreams."
"Corvette Racing has long hoped for just such an outstanding track with exciting features," noted Doug Fehan, Program Manager of Corvette Racing, who participated in the groundbreaking. "Our drivers and many proud Corvette owners are looking forward to experiencing this premier motorsports facility. We enjoyed every minute of our participation in the design process."
The NCM Motorsports Park will be situated on 184 acres purchased and rezoned by the National Corvette Museum. Two circuits, "East" and "West" can be combined in multiple configurations ranging from a high speed loop of 1.96 miles to an extended 3.15 mile technical course. The Corvette Racing/Pratt and Miller Team advised NCM on the layout of the technical track that will include features from their favorite and most challenging track, the Le Mans circuit.
Jack Matukas, Chair of the NCM Board of Directors, added, "When the NCM Motorsports Park gates open next year, our region will not only see increased visits and events sponsored by Corvette owners and fans, but from just about every different sports car club in America."
Wendell Strode, Executive Director of NCM observed, "Because of the outpouring of financial support by thousands of contributors including the Bowling Green Convention and Visitors Bureau, we are on track to open the NCM Motorsports Park on the 20th Anniversary of the National Corvette Museum-Labor Day weekend 2014."
"As the community so fortunate to host an international attraction like the National Corvette Museum, the NCM Motorsports Park will turbo-charge Bowling Green's already-powerful position in the high-performance motorsports world," added Brad Howard, Chair of the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
The NCM Motorsports Park is the fourth economic development announcement for the Chamber thus far in 2013, with a total announced investment of nearly $112 million and 226 announced new jobs. In 2012, Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce announced projects totaling 537 jobs created or retained by its efforts, resulting in over $45.6 million in capital investment.

The chairman of the local Strawberry Festival asked me several months ago if I would bring a Cub to their tractor show. I spent Friday touching up spots on Harley, including changing the headers back to bar-b-q black. To the chairman's delight I showed up this morning with Waldo, Harley and Harpo.
Naturally, everybody wanted to know about Harley. I simply told them it was a limited edition demonstrator that IH used to sell Cubs to farmers. That of course is not a lie since Harley is a a true demonstrator. But I did add that a good friend of mine who is retired from Jeep in Toledo (and is somehow related to Einstein ) did some modifications to it.
After it was all done and I was loading, the chairman came out and handed me this.
Thanks Rick, you deserve this more than I do. I gave you all the credit at the show.
Yeah, I know, the image on the certificate could have been a little more generic, but I kept it anyway.
Now the chairman of a nearby church festival wants Harley at their tractor show.

Even though St. Patrick's Day is not a bank holiday in the United States (sure wish it was), I still like to get in the spirit and sport green in my home. Green apple is such a fun color for St. Patrick's Day, Spring, or just about any time of the year. Its bright color commands attention in any space and mixes well with neutrals such as gray. Want to bring a little Miami flair into your home, the green apple decor can add just the right amount of style.
Green apple hues are great as a accent or if you want to go bold try using the color in a big way! The bright green chairs would look fantastic around a white outdoor table to spice up your outdoor design. I love the pendant lights over a kitchen island. The green desk chair is also a really fun accent for a home office or bring it to work and be unique. What is your favorite green apple furnishing or light fixture?

Perched above the Los Angeles Country Club at a prime location along the Wilshire corridor, Beverly West Residences is contemporary urban living at its best! A new twenty-one-story contemporary condo tower finished with elegant materials, detailing and modern forms, Beverly West Residences is ideal for urban, affluent individuals and couples looking for the utmost in luxury living. (Without all the hassle that comes with a single-family residence.)
Upon entering the building from the valet-serviced motor court, the lobby's soaring walls invite residents and guests to view an impressive collection of regional fine art. After ascending the private, dedicated elevator to your floor, you enter a wood-paneled foyer, which leads directly into an expansive great room with spectacular views.
Designed by Irvine-based Robert Hidey Architects, this condo is one of thirty, 4,000-square-foot custom residences in the building. On the upper floors there are five levels of full-floor penthouse living, at up to 8,200 square feet each.
Wood gallery walls, limestone floors, slab-marble baths, wall forms defined by cove lighting, contemporary light fixtures, and floor-to-ceiling glass define the character of this contemporary interior design. A gourmet kitchen features a high-gloss cabinetry system accented by a monolithic stone island and countertops.
The 375-square-foot master bathroom boasts gorgeous marble walls and granite countertops, a free standing bathtub, steam shower, waterfall countertops, European mounted lavatories, and a capacious walk-in closet.
In addition to developing floor plans and interior architecture for all unit types in the building, Robert Hidey Architects designed rich amenities for all of the tower's public spaces, including an exercise gym, conference center, and large suites, which are available to owners who need a remote home office or guest room.

Lighting is one of the most important stages in any design project. Different designers approach it in their own way, but it should be considered toward the beginning of the project. If you are making selections for your own home, first try to think about how much light you will need. After evaluating your lighting needs, then you are able to decide how many fixtures you will want, the scale and what style you prefer. You want the lights to be effective, look good, but you also want them to coordinate with the rest of your decor.

When it comes to loft living, which is quickly gaining in popularity, lighting is very important. Lofts are typically designed with a modern aesthetic, which means minimal furniture and the less furnishings you have, the more important each item becomes. Typically lofts have lots of big windows and natural light, but the functionality of light fixtures are still important. The gorgeous loft pictured above demonstrates a warehouse-style approach to their lighting solutions. The fixtures are installed in a grid pattern, however the fixtures themselves are modern flush pendants rather than track lighting. The scale of a fixture is also very important. Considering the large wood beams and open space in this loft, the fixtures could not be too small.
This white and gray loft features light fixtures that contribute to the clean decor without distracting from it. This lighting design also demonstrates a fun alternative to ceiling fixtures such as chandeliers and pendants.

Right: Holtkoetter Bernie Turbo Nickel LED Swing Arm Wall Lamp
The task-style wall lights are a very cool way to light the dining area since the ceiling is so high, which is often the case in lofts.
Left: Nova Arcing Linen Shade Floor Lamp, Right: Kichler Cantilever Brushed Nickel Finish Floor Lamp
The floor lamp has a long reaching arm to cover all of the seating area as an alternative to hanging a ceiling fixture. From a design perspective, it's perfectly acceptable to hang chandeliers or pendants from high ceilings, but there are other cool options as seen here.
This wide open space doesn't include a lot of lighting, but the fixtures that were selected provide a little color contrast to the rest of the space while pairing perfectly with the dining table. Forget having an issue with high ceilings at an angle, it's no problem here. This lighting design is perfect in both function and style.
Left: Bangle Collection Pendant Chandelier, Right: Jamie Young St Charles Amber Glass Pendant Chandelier
Whether you're designing a new space or just changing out the lighting in your home, be sure to make it a priority. Don't forget to consider function and scale first and then move on to style. Even though we all know selecting the prettiest fixture is always the most fun part!

This gorgeous work of art stiuated in Echo Park is a modern model house built by Sunia Homes, a new company focused on building sustainable and affordable residencies in California. The architectural design, building materials and the furnishings create a sophisticated yet relaxed environment. What makes Sunia homes even more special is that they allow their clients to live a more sustainable lifestyle without needing a large budget to do so. Besides their good looks, each Sunia home includes solar panels, grey and rainwater harvesting systems, a wood pellet stove, a garden to grow your own fruit, vegetables and herbs, and bamboo flooring.
The simple materials like concrete flooring, natural woods and stainless steel keep the costs and the modern decor to a minimum, allowing for more open and useful space. In this kitchen/living room area, the contemporary light fixtures and ceiling fan accent the space beautifully without dominating. The fan also helps maintain that simpler lifestyle by cooling the home with natural air.
Simple furnishings, open shelving and natural wood finishes allow the food to take center stage in this kitchen. As mentioned above, a garden to grow your own fruit, vegetables and herbs is provided with each home promoting an organic lifestyle.
Some of the decor, whether designed with the enviroment in mind or not, has a very cool and simple aesthetic. This piping used for hanging clothes is a hot trend right now and can be seen a lot and used with shelving units. There's even DIY's out there using this style of piping as inspiration.
The dark framing around the windows is of course functional in this sustainable home, but also the contrast looks great. This contrast paired with minimal yet colorful accents help this modern style decor come together perfectly.
Smart architecture not only frames the landscape perfectly, but will benefit the homeowners as well as everyone living around them. Hopefully more home builders will begin moving in this direction. Sunia Homes is proving that sustainable living doesn't have to break the bank and it can look really hot!

Urban design is a key to making places that are successful both socially and economically, good to live in, and attractive to visit. Urban design is essential in creating community identity. It is effective planning in the widest sense, and it can help to deliver better public services. It also helps to achieve value for money in new developments, and to make good use of scarce resources. I recently took a trip back to my hometown Des Moines, Iowa, and I must tell you I was truly impressed and inspired by what is happening there. When I left Des Moines in 2004 there really wasn't much, but I could see it's potential. I would take photos of the buildings and superimpose photos over the top to create my dream interior design boutique. I would change the facades, the windows, the colors, the landscapes. I had a dream and I had a vision, but I would get discouraged though during my interior design critiques at college. I would be docked points because "my designs didn't fit in Des Moines;" I wanted the amenities of a big city. I wanted live/work lofts. I wanted more cultural events. I wanted a sense of community. I wanted to modernize the city. I saw it's beauty and it's potential. But rather than waiting for it to happen or do anything about it, I went out and found what I wanted in Venice, California. Why didn't I stay and find a way for my voice to be heard and my vision to be created? I don't know. Would I enjoy being part of the Des Moines community now? Yes.
Here are the TOP 8 things that have contributed to the urban growth in Des Moines, Iowa...
Principal Riverwalk: This project was presented to Des Moines as a gift in 2004 in honor of Principal Financial Group's 125th anniversary. This project connects the East and West side of Downtown via two new pedestrian bridges. The Meredith Trail connects downtown to Gray's Lake as well as over 300 miles of trails throughout Iowa. This project was completed in 2011 and includes a landscaped promenade path connecting the riverfront amphitheater and plazas to the Brenton Skating Rink and summertime fountain.
B-Cycle: When the weather is nice you can take advantage of the bicycle sharing system and get around with ease. There when you want it and gone when you don't.
D-Line Shuttle: This new, old-time trolley is the best way to get around downtown. And the best part...it's free! Expect a shuttle every 10 minutes and you'll be on your way to work, eat, and play!
Public and community transportation is very crucial in finding the solution to our nation's economic, energy, and environmental challenges. These two things are a great start to this solution and Des Moines is not stopping there. Look for even more transit improvement in the upcoming years with the Walnut Street Transformation.
Strategic development in downtown Des Moines has provided the community with large economic growth. Renovation of historic buildings has created new life, excitement, and expansion of these urban neighborhoods. Hatch Development Group has played a crucial role in the ever expanding growth and change. Since focusing on housing development, Senator Hatch has become a forceful proponent of blending historical rehabilitation with new construction to revitalize inner city neighborhoods. Prime retail, restaurant, and office space has been created through the restoration of the Historic Chamberlain Building (top image). While the East Village Square (bottom image) on the opposite side of downtown has provided the city with 115 mixed-income residences for modern living. There's so much happening everyday and you can follow all the latest in developments right here at Absolute DSM.
PappaJohn Sculpture Park: This incredible Sculpture Garden, featuring 24 sculptures by 21 artists, has been given as a gift to Des Moines by art collectors John and Mary PappaJohn to beautify Des Moines' Downtown. Each of the sculptures in this garden are works from world-renowned sculptors, "the best of the best." This donation is likely to put Iowa on the map for having one of the best sculpture gardens in the world!
Thinc Iowa: Last October this conference brought together the innovative entreprenuers of today and some key powerhouse players to inspire, collaborate, and generate during this 3-day conference. The goal is to motivate people to explore new ways of doing business, challenge them to think differently, and give them a place to network outside their normal circle. Ben Silbermann, founder of Pinterest and a native Iowan, was one of the top talents to share his story.
The Des Moines Social Club: a non-profit organization, uses the arts as a catalyst to create unprecedented community engagement. Their vision is to build premier art institutions that foster social change and revitalize cities throughout the world.
Many amazing bars, restaurants, and retail establishments have opened their doors in downtown in the past 8 years. The growth of the community is dependent upon this retail development. Young entrepreneurs have been able to follow their dreams and open business that are thriving and expanding. A city that once had a challenge keeping college grads in the state has developed into a place that cannot only keep them, but also get the ones that left to return and new ones to join.
Design is everywhere and many people don't even realize the impact it has on them. But the ones that do know how to do it right.
