Cahuilla elder and scholar Katherine Siva Saubel was remembered Thursday at the museum she co-founded as a caring, giving woman who understood history and cared deeply about passing tradition on to younger generations.
Saubel, who died Tuesday at her home on the Morongo Reservation at age 91, left a lasting impression on family, friends, and scholars who worked with her, including Nathalie Colin, historian at the non-profit Malki Museum.
"Katherine was living with Kevin, her nephew, and also Aaron Saubel, one of her grandsons," Colin said Thursday. "She loved him deeply and she taught him so much about her culture.
"Aaron Saubel was living with her since he was 4 years old," Colin said. "He considers her like his mum. Today he is 44 years old, and he is the keeper of the family culture. . . . He learned from Katherine, Mariano Saubel, his grandfather, and also from Alvino Siva, Katherine's brother."
Katherine Siva Saubel grew up speaking 'Mountain Cahuilla' on the Los Coyotes Reservation in the 1920s before she moved to Agua Caliente Reservation and the San Gorgonio Pass, according to the museum.
She became a of Cahuilla language, culture and history, and her passion never wavered.
"Until the end Katherine wanted to share and teach her beloved Cahuilla culture," Colin said. "Every week, at her home, she was working on the Cahuilla language with Dr Eric Elliott, a fluent Cahuilla speaker, and myself, on the culture and her family history and her first village Pachawal."
She also continued teaching Bird songs in her final days, Colin said.
"Katherine's group of young bird singers, they were coming to her home, each Monday evening to learn in Cahuilla," Colin said. "These were so important because the bird songs carry the mythology. These are sacred songs.
"She was optimistic and a fabulous teacher until the last minute," Colin said. "Her mind was clear and full of priceless information and stories."
Katherine Siva Saubel was also close to other historians, linguists and anthropologists, including Lowell Bean, Daniel McCarthy, and Jim Toenjes, Colin said.
"We became her friend, and she was our mentor, our teacher, our grandmother," Colin said. "She loved us and we loved her so deeply."
Funeral arrangements were announced Thursday.
Visitation is scheduled from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday Nov. 7 at Morongo Community Center, 13000 Fields Road, Morongo Reservation. Rosary begins at 7 p.m.
A mass of Christian Burial is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday Nov. 8 at St. Mary's Mission. Graveside service to follow at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery.

I love lists, so I had no problem sitting through all 10 hours of The Top 100: NFL's Greatest Players. Week after week I watched … and yelled, wondering how so many well-respected minds could mess the NFL Network's list up so badly. No Paul Hornung, Curtis Martin, Marvin Harrison, Frank Gifford or Terrell Owens? Had I missed an episode?
Of course, my opinion is only my own, but there is no debating that the framers of this list crisscrossed their criteria to come to the conclusions they have. Some players were judged on numbers, while others seem to have received special credit for the impact they had on the game. And while I'm happy with the balance of old and new, this list is quarterback-heavy and fails to show enough respect for the game's outstanding offensive and defensive linemen.
All that said, I do respect the attempt. Picking only the greatest players at one position is difficult enough when one considers how different the 1950s pro game was from today's NFL. But to rank players across different eras, from different positions, is nearly impossible, and an effort worthy of applause.
Some background: the list was voted on by 85 owners, NFL executives and retired execs, GMs, coaches, former coaches, broadcasters, media members and Hall of Fame voters. Each voter received a list of 260 players and was asked to grade each player from 1-to-10, with 10 being the highest. NFL Films then gathered the ballots, tallied the votes and ranked the 100 highest-rated players from 1-to-100.
Here is my analysis of the NFL Films list, in the order in which it was revealed on NFL Network these past few weeks. I've tried to praise where appropriate; mostly, however, I've offered my grievances:
100. Joe Namath
Even at No. 100, Namath is overrated. People credit him for being the game's first 4,000-yard passer, but beside that season he only eclipsed the 3,000-yard mark in two others, and he owns more than twice as many 20-interception seasons (five) as he does 20-touchdown seasons (two). One guarantee doesn't push him past Dan Fouts or Warren Moon in my book.
99. Michael Strahan
98. Lee Roy Selmon
97. Derrick Brooks
96. Mel Hein
95. Larry Allen
94. Lenny Moore
93. Sam Huff
92. Michael Irvin
Irvin already bumped Cris Carter in Canton, now he's doing it on this list. Why fans cannot appreciate how great Carter was is beyond me (third all-time in receptions, fourth in receiving touchdowns). Irvin is a worthy Hall of Famer, and a debatable addition to this list. But he's not in the same league as Carter — or Terrell Owens, for that matter.
91. Fran Tarkenton
90. Kurt Warner
I'm in Warner's corner when it comes to Canton, but I suspect his recent success has inflated his legacy as far as this list goes. Great quarterback. Overcame obstacles. A greater quarterback than Tarkenton? Nah, can't go that far.
89. Ernie Nevers
88. Ed Reed
87. Crazylegs Hirsch
86. Willie Davis
85. Marcus Allen
What I respect about Allen is how he resurrected his career in Kansas City. What I cannot respect is that he averaged fewer than four yards a carry in seven of 16 NFL seasons. That's not top 100 material.
84. Joe Schmidt
83. Norm Van Brocklin
82. Ted Hendricks
81. Steve Young
80. Troy Aikman
79. Emlen Tunnell
78. Bruce Matthews
77. Tony Dorsett
Sorry, but Dorsett is not even the best running back to come out of the University of Pittsburgh. Where on earth is Curtis Martin?
76. Art Shell
Ask legendary Sports Illustrated writer Paul Zimmerman how good Shell was. Good to see his name on this list. Wish it had been a tad higher.
75. Darrell Green
74. Marion Motley
73. Ozzie Newsome
72. Jonathan Ogden
71. Paul Warfield
70. Marshall Faulk
69. Bobby Bell
68. Mike Webster
67. Kellen Winslow
66. Willie Brown
65. Randy Moss
Say what you will about Moss; the guy is the most gifted wide receiver — maybe offensive player — ever to wear shoulder pads. No, he is not the workaholic that Jerry Rice was, and no he isn't a saint like Lance Alworth was. But Moss is a difference maker. He was in Minnesota and in New England, and I wouldn't bet against him after the recent storm settles. Like him or not, he's much greater than No. 65.
64. Herb Adderley
63. Jim Otto
62. Randy White
61. LaDainian Tomlinson
60. Jack Ham
59. Mike Ditka
58. Mike Singletary
57. Steve Van Buren
56. Gene Upshaw
55. Earl Campbell
A bright light that burned out too fast. Campbell brought a Bo Jackson-like "wow" factor to the game, but he didn't play long enough to warrant a ranking that's ahead of LaDainian Tomlinson or Curtis Martin (sorry, but I was compelled to mention Martin's snub again).
54. Forrest Gregg
53. Willie Lanier
52. Eric Dickerson
51. Bart Starr
OK, the gloves are off. I just do not understand this. What do we value most about the quarterback position? Winning. It's the reason Joe Montana and Tom Brady rank so high on this list, and it's often the primary criteria for why great passers either do or do not get into the Hall of Fame. Yet, in the case of Starr, there is this double standard. He owns the highest playoff winning percentage of any quarterback in the history of pro football. He won five titles (more than Terry Bradshaw, Montana and Brady). He was an outstanding game manager, and his opponents will tell you that Starr is both one of the game's greatest gentlemen (off the field) and fiercest competitors (on it). He is, simply, the most underrated player the game has known.
50. Terry Bradshaw
49. Mike Haynes
48. Red Grange
47. Ray Nitschke
46. Roger Staubach
45. Tony Gonzalez
Kind of a shame that Gonzalez did not score higher than John Mackey (No. 42). Yes, the eras are completely different, but Gonzalez is nonetheless a pioneer at his position, same as Ditka and Mackey were.
44. Mel Blount
43. Alan Page
42. John Mackey
41. Rod Woodson
40. O.J.Simpson
I suspect voter bias kept certain players off of this list and had others ranked lower than they should have been. Glad voter bias did not affect Simpson. Regardless of what he has made of his life since football, he did some remarkable things for some bad Bills teams.
39. Gino Marchetti
38. Lance Alworth
37. Jim Thorpe
Greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th century? I'll buy that. But with regard to playing professional football, Thorpe does not belong here. He did not begin his pro career until he was 32 years old, and one could argue Ernie Nevers was a better early-era running back.
36. Raymond Berry
35. Chuck Bednarik
34. Deion Sanders
Sanders is unhappy with his place on this list and so am I. He did for the secondary what Lawrence Taylor did for the front seven. He was cocky, narcissistic, and the most dangerous cover corner the game has ever known.
33. Sid Luckman
32. Jim Parker
It would have been easy to forget Parker, but I'm glad voters did not. A dominant tackle before the position was paid the attention it is today.
31. Bruce Smith
30. Night Train Lane
29. Jack Lambert
28. Emmitt Smith
For years Smith has been dogged by the same things — he played on great teams, he ran behind a great line. Walter Payton had some very good linemen blocking for him in Chicago during the 1980s. Jerry Rice obviously played on some pretty good teams while with San Francisco. We don't handicap those players. The biggest misconception about Smith, though, is that his greatness is in the numbers. It's true, he is the most accomplished back of all-time. But his most admirable quality is his durability. He kept going and going. He didn't quit the game early, and he didn't wear down late into his career, like so many backs do. His tires held up, and he deserves better than No. 28.
27. Merlin Olsen
Funny, the clip highlighting Olsen spoke of how he did all the dirty work in the middle so that Deacon Jones was freed up on the outside to chase down quarterbacks, and yet voters still put Jones 12 spots higher. Typical of the lack of respect defensive tackles get.
26. Bob Lilly
25. Dan Marino
24. John Hannah
23. John Elway
22. Gale Sayers
Often, when Hall of Fame voters are asked why they will not vote for the all-time great special-teams players, they offer the same answer: They are not going to vote for someone who only plays a small portion of the game, regardless of how great they were at their respective position. So why, I wonder, does Sayers get a free pass on lists like this one when he is essentially guilty of the same crime? He only played in 68 games. He gained fewer than 5,000 yards, and only scored 48 offensive touchdowns. Yes, he was a wonder to the eye, and, yes, his early exit was unfair. But I sense voters and historians like to credit Sayers for all he could have done, rather than for what the numbers show.
21. Tom Brady
Some will say this is too high, but there is no denying that Brady is the Joe Montana of his era. He wins within the system he operates and he puts up respectable totals.
20. Brett Favre
19. Bronko Nagurski
18. Ray Lewis
17. Barry Sanders
16. Otto Graham
15. Deacon Jones
14. Sammy Baugh
13. Joe Greene
12. Anthony Munoz
11. Ronnie Lott
10. Dick Butkus
In my opinion, the legend is bigger than the reality. Butkus was an outstanding linebacker on some awful teams. One of the all-time great intimidators. But not better than Ray Lewis in my opinion, and not a top-10 player.
9. Don Hutson
8. Peyton Manning
I respect Manning. I agree he is a special player. But at this point in his career he does not belong ahead of Favre or Elway. Last I checked, he has the same Super Bowl record as Favre and a lot of catching up to do in the record books. Manning may earn this spot when it's all said and done, but he's not here yet.
7. Reggie White
6. Johnny Unitas
How sad this is. Outside of the top three? Behind Joe Montana? Sad indeed. Unitas is the quarterback, as Frank DeFord put it. Before the pass was an every-down option, Unitas was its master. He was tough, humble, won and put up big numbers. The quarterback is often referred to as the team's field general. I ask, of all the great quarterbacks, under whose command would you feel safest on a battleground?
5. Walter Payton
4. Joe Montana
3. Lawrence Taylor
What is most said about L.T. is that he could change a game from the defensive side of the football. And it's true. No problem whatsoever with him being the highest-ranking defender.
2. Jim Brown
1. Jerry Rice
In my heart, I want to have a problem with this pick. Everyone knows Jim Brown is the best player who ever lived. But in my head I know the voters got it right. Beside Brown, Rice is the only player who deserves consideration here, and the fact that he dominated the game in the modern era — with and without Joe Montana, in his 20s, 30s and at age 40 — is tough to overlook. Jerry Rice stayed healthy, hungry, and outworked everyone to get to the top of this mountain.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Gov. Tom Corbett will announce that he plans to request more money from the Legislature to help the mentally disabled get services that help them live independently.
Corbett plans a Wednesday morning news conference at the United Way of Philadelphia.
He'll deliver a budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year to the Legislature on Feb. 5. In it, his administration says he's planning to request $20 million more than the $919 million that is being provided this year for day, home and community services for the mentally disabled.
Department of Public Welfare spokeswoman Anne Bale says the proposal is designed to reduce the waiting list of about 15,000 people by 1,200. She says 51,000 already receive subsidized services. The waiting list has steadily grown in recent years.

Georgia based United Renewable Energy, LLC and US Floors Inc. complete the first phase of a 94.5 kw solar electric power generation system
Dalton, GA based US Floors Inc. a leading sustainable flooring manufacturer, has completed the installation of the first phase of what is likely to be the largest privately owned solar power generation system in the State. The system is mounted on the rooftop of their new sustainable flooring plant in Dalton, which began production of unique and sustainable flooring products in late 2008.
The rooftop array currently consists of 180 photovoltaic (PV) solar panels that generate electricity directly from sunlight. The completed system is rated at 31.5 kilowatts, and generates enough electricity to power four Georgia homes. When the next two phases are installed, the total output of the system will exceed 94 kilowatts, powering a significant portion of the building's electrical requirements.

Thoughts:

1) ANOTHER wiki?
2) How does this reflect on WikiDocs?
3) We still need classical narrative docs to be written. If we can't
find volunteers to do this, I will do it myself. Less coding that gets
done, but I don't want to hack on another half-baked documentation
system that doesn't get our docs updated *now*.
4) Are we switching course mid-stream AGAIN?
5) Whenever I use these context sensitive help things, they NEVER help
me. I have build up an aversion to them.

During our younger years, the body continually discards old collagen and creates new collagen. After the age of 25 or so, the body begins to lose its ability to create new collagen. The lack of new collagen leads to host of aging symptoms, such as fine lines, wrinkles, arthritis, and joint problems.
For many years, animal collagen was used for collagen supplements, although it had many drawbacks. Human skin has a difficult time absorbing animal collagen and also animal collagen has the potential to spread BSE, better known as a mad cow disease, thus posing danger to humans. Since BSE and other issues are found within animal collagen, scientists began looking for safer types of collagen. Polish scientists discovered that salmon fish collagen, is non-toxic alternative. Even better, salmon fish collagen is more readily absorbed by human skin than animal collagen.
Cancer cells spread through the body in such a way that produces large amounts of enzymes capable of digesting collagen, and thus pave the way for cancer to all tissues of the body. However, as long as collagen barrier is stable, they are not going to spread.
Joints are a moving combination of bones. Place where their connection takes place is called placenta. Placenta's biggest problem is friction; therefore joint surfaces are covered with hyaline cartilage and articular membrane. Their function is to produce so-called synovial fluid, which moistens moving parts of the connecting bones to eliminate possible pain. During illness when deterioration of cartilage occurs or quantity of produced synovial fluid is insufficient, they cease to perform their function in a satisfactory manner. Since bones are not properly shielded, unpleasant pain occurs with every movement. Among other things collagen is responsible for sufficient production of synovial fluid. It also affects the condition of a cartilage by providing it with hardness and elasticity. Additionally, it reduces an activity of enzymes responsible for rheumatic pains and accelerates recovery of the tissues affected.
Collagen fibers are an important part of the venous endothelium, including the venous valves. Adequate quantity and quality of collagen in the venous walls determine to maintain their normal function and biochemical properties. Veins rich in collagen are resilient and flexible; thereby they better prevent the backflow of blood towards the heart. Studies have shown that proteins such as collagen content are significantly reduced in varicose veins compared to healthy veins.
With age, due to a loss of collagen, condition of our skin worsens and external factors such as sun, free radicals and toxins accelerate this process. Levels of substances (copper, vitamin A, C, E) responsible for natural regeneration of collagen fibers decrease. Results of this process are deepening wrinkles, loss of skin firmness, change of color or dryness of a skin. Also sagging cheeks and eyelids, as well as double chin, deep forehead furrows, wrinkles, cellulite or stretch marks start to show.
Cellulite is a natural accumulation of fat in the body, mostly women's. Cellulite deposited in the skin of hips and thighs is a reserve of energy during pregnancy. The natural way to partially reduce this supply is during breast-feeding. All of it happens because our life styles changed. We eat more and more processed foods, lead more sedentary lifestyles and we became less physically active which unfortunately contributes to cellulite production. In the past people thought that this ailment was associated with obesity. Nowadays it has been stated that cellulite is a concern of 80% of women of every size in the whole world. It is indirectly related to the collagen deficiency.
Stretch marks are mostly due to an increase in cortisol levels in the blood. It is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands. Its amount increases during pregnancy, puberty, obesity, weight gain. During pregnancy, the increase in estrogen levels contributes to some extent to enhance the capacity of the appearance of stretch marks. Because hormonal pills also affect female sex hormones, therefore it is likely that they may be one of the factors that contribute formation of stretch marks. Also the regular and long-term use of steroid medications has an impact on stretch- marks production. The formation of stretch marks is associated with abnormal collagen synthesis of the skin. Stretch marks are formed in the dermis, and their formation is associated with impaired fibroblast cells that are responsible for the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Impaired - including due to increased levels of cortisol in the blood - fibroblasts begin to produce modified collagen and elastin fibers, which become more brittle and less susceptible to stretching. During an excessive stretching of the skin for example during pregnancy due to fragility of fibers collagen fibril structure starts to break which results in stretch marks.
Menopause – inevitably occurs in the life of every woman even when she is still young, healthy, and active. The ovaries stop producing sex hormones – estrogen, which have the greatest impact on woman's skin. During menopause, enzyme that breaks down collagen fibers becomes more active. The researchers report that the density of collagen in the skin drops by an average of 2% per year. During the first 5 years of menopause, the amount of collagen fibers in the skin is reduced by 30-35%.
Bone collagen metabolism disorders cause decalcification of the skeleton, which contributes to enhanced bone fragility and susceptibility to the fracture. A bone is a porous tissue composed of 90% collagen, where process of linking of collagen with calcium, phosphorus and magnesium takes place. If during youth, not enough collagen was produced to develop collagen-rich bone structure, in old age we are in danger of osteoporosis.

"While piracy remains a significant problem for merchantmen, most attacks are concentrated off Nigeria and the Straits of Malacca. While the northern Persian Gulf has a significant presence of coalition warships searching for terrorists, pirates have boarded and attacked the crew of the 5-year-old, 301,000-ton Very Large Crude Carrier tanker Nord Millennium outside Basra Terminal, Iraq's largest export terminal in the Persian Gulf. On Monday, three robbers armed with AK-47 rifles boarded the Cypriot-flagged ship in the anchorage outside the Basra Terminal and beat the ship's master after breaking into the ship's control room. After stealing about $42,000 the pirates escaped in a waiting speedboat."

Last Saturday we picked nettle tips. Nettle soup was out of reach (still have no blender) so we had nettle stew, which was not too bad. The soup is probably better.
Oh a whim I decided we may as well try nettle wine, while we had a basket full of stingers. According to the old ripped-out magazine page I followed instructions from (I found it in a book, so I guess this was a plan I made before?) it should be ready the day after tomorrow. So if I fall in the river and die this weekend, that was probably why.
Small-town living is suiting me nicely. It's been six months today, and I am happy! Footpaths in all directions so I don't feel trapped, shops in reach by foot. It's a good balance. There are a lot of fallow fields and meadows and everything is just gorgeous at the moment. I keep bringing pieces of hedgerow home, but wouldn't you? Don't you? Gosh, I love Hawthorne. I read I Capture the Castle last Sunday and Cassandra's thoughts about "May", the plant, are about Hawthorne. It has two names. I was very much in sympathy with her then.
Today we bought a kitchen chair at last, and I'm using my birthday bowl to make buns. It's sunny, and all my plants are growing.
This week I got post from Canada (twitter's a marvellous people-finder, isn't it?) and bought some leggings. They are "that comfortable", but I like the disciplined feeling of thicker fabric too.

As the heat rises, so does the number of drowning deaths. In fact, every day ten people die from drowning in the United States, according to the CDC, and of those ten, two are children under the age of 14. That's just part of the inspiration behind the 8th annual 'Water Resource Festival.'
Just three years ago, a day of fun turned tragic, when a group of six teenagers drowned at a family barbeque on the Red River. The sole survivor, remembers what he went through. "I went out and slipped off the cliff and then they tried to help me," said Dekendrix Warner. Authorities would later say the teenagers didn't know how to swim and died trying to save each other. It's a tragedy that attracted national attention at the time and even inspired 12-time Olympic champion swimmer, Byron Davis to come to this 8th Annual Water Resource festival to teach children water safety.
"We can't afford to have another child's life cut short just because they didn't know how to swim," said Davis. During the two day festival, Byron along with Shreveport and Bossier water rescue groups gave tips for those who can't swim, the best way to save someone from drowning.
"It's very important to save yourself and keep from entering the water, maybe try to reach out, with a limb or a stick...because when someone is drowning they are in a panic mode, they are likely to pull you under too," said Shreveport Fire Captain Jeff Smith.
Also at the event, a rescue team simulated a water rescue for a crowd of on-lookers and kids had fun hanging out with Bobber the Water Safety Dog. But what Byron hopes kids take away, is the importance of water safety, so a tragedy like the Red River drownings never happens again. "We live in a time and an age where that should not be a factor any longer," said Davis.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition characterized by an inappropriate elevation in heart rate when standing up. People who have POTS experience symptoms - most often lightheadedness and palpitations - whenever they are upright. Their symptoms can vary in severity from quite mild to incapacitating.
In addition to the rapid heart rate, they can also have a drop in their blood pressure when standing. Up to 40% of people with POTS will have at least one episode of syncope (passing out).
POTS is a disorder of young people. Most who have this condition are between 14 and 45 years of age and are otherwise healthy. Women are four to five times more likely to develop POTS than men. A propensity for POTS appears to be present in some families.
What Causes POTS?POTS is most likely a form of dysautonomia, a family of conditions caused by an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system - the part of the nervous system that manages the "unconscious" bodily functions, such as digestion, breathing and heart rate. When the autonomic nervous system is out of balance, a whole host of symptoms can result, involving the cardiovascular system, breathing, the digestive system, the muscles and the skin.
There are several syndromes thought to be due to dysautonomia, including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome and inappropriate sinus tachycardia. However, people with dysautonomia often experience symptoms that overlap among these various syndromes.
What actually causes POTS - or, for that matter, any of the dysautonomias - is unknown. However, as is typical for the dysautonomias, the onset of POTS is often quite sudden and often follows an acute infectious illness (such as a bad case of influenza); an episode of trauma (such as a broken bone, childbirth or surgery); exposure to toxins (such as Agent Orange); or severe emotional stress (such as battle fatigue or post traumatic stress).
Studies in patients with POTS suggest that they also may have altered nervous system function that is especially severe in the legs and lower blood volume than normal.
Symptoms with POTSPeople with POTS develop a range of symptoms whenever they are upright; the symptoms vary quite a bit in severity from person to person. In many POTS sufferers, symptoms are relatively mild. In others, symptoms are virtually incapacitating.
The most common symptoms are palpitations, lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision, weakness, tremulousness and feelings of anxiety. Less often, syncope can occur.
POTS sometimes overlaps with other dysautonomia syndromes, so people with POTS may also experience additional symptoms such as abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, aches and pains and extreme fatigue. Successfully treating the fast heart rate that is the hallmark of POTS often does not make all these other symptoms go away.
How POTS Is DiagnosedDoctors should be able to diagnose POTS by taking a careful medical history and performing a thorough physical examination. The key to the diagnosis is documenting that the heart rate increases abnormally in the upright posture.
Normally, when a person stands up, the heart rate increases by 10 beats per minute or less. With POTS, the increase is often far greater - usually 30 beats per minute or more. Sometimes this abnormal increase in heart rate only occurs after the patient is standing for several minutes. For this reason, if POTS is suspected a tilt-table test may be helpful in making the diagnosis.
If an abnormal increase in heart rate while standing is found, the doctor ought to look for other potential causes, such as dehydration, deconditioning from prolonged bedrest, diabetic neuropathy or various drugs (especially diuretics or blood pressure medication). If none of these other causes is present, then the diagnosis of POTS can be made with some confidence.
The fact that POTS produces this objective, reproducibile finding (that is, the increase in heart rate when standing), gives patients with POTS a decided advantage over people who have most other forms of dysautonomia, in whom the dysautonomia produces few (if any) objective findings. Many unfortunate patients with dysautonomia are told by more than one doctor that they merely have "anxiety." Missing the diagnosis should rarely be experienced by people with POTS.
How Is POTS Treated?As with all the dysautonomias, treating POTS is usually a trial-and-error affair, trying various treatment options until the symptoms are brought under reasonable control - often a matter of weeks or months. However, as long as both the doctor and patient remain persistent, symptoms can be controlled in the large majority of patients.
There are three general approaches to treatment - increasing blood volume, exercise and drugs.
Blood volume can be maintained by encouraging fluid intake, consuming plenty of salt and taking fludrocortisone, a prescription medication that prevents the kidneys from excreting sodium. It is especially important to take fluids first thing in the morning - before getting out of bed, if possible.
Recent evidence shows that chronic aerobic exercise training can greatly improve POTS. Because it can be very difficult for people who have POTS to do exercise that requires them to be upright, success has been achieved by having them begin their exercise program with swimming or using rowing machines. Generally, after a month or two, they are able to switch to walking, running or cycling.
Other drugs that have been used in people who have POTS with at least some success include midodrine and beta blockers. Recent evidence suggests that pyridostigmine (Mestinon) may also be useful. In contrast to other forms of dysautonomia, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have not been shown to be of benefit in POTS.
Recently, ivabradine - which is not yet available in the United States - has been used effectively in some patients with POTS, and a randomized clinical trial is now underway (in Israel) testing the drug for this purpose. Read more about ivabradine for POTS.
Many doctors who treat POTS try all three approaches right off the bat. Treatment is begun to improve fluid volume, an exercise program is prescribed and drug therapy (often with midodrine) is begun. Especially if a chronic exercise program can be established, drug therapy often can be discontinued eventually.
The good news is that people who have POTS can expect to achieve satisfactory control of their symptoms, as long as they and their doctors do not give up.

When is a woman too old to have a baby? That's the debate today around the world now that a woman in Romania has given birth at age 66.
That's right! 66-year-old Adriana Iliescu had been trying to get pregnant through artificial insemination since she was 55. It finally worked and this weekend, her baby girl was born six weeks premature. The baby is doing fine. The mother is unmarried and a university professor and author of children's books. She says now, she is happy beyond human emotion unlike some observers who are asking, 'Who will take care of the child as the mother grows old?'
"There's a significant yuck factor in that a woman of 66 having a child. It's not natural and many of us feel that it is pushing science to the limit," says Dr. Adrian Lower, a gynecologist.
Even so, Adriana has landed a spot in the history books. She is now oldest woman ever to give birth. Until now the Guinness Book of World Records describes the oldest woman to give birth was just 63 and that's happened twice.

- (C) interchangeable . . a particular CORRECT ANSWER
- (D) exclusive . . a separate

The word "although" indicates that the two parts of the sentence contrast with each other: although most people think about the terms one way, something else is actually true about the terms. Choice C is correct because it presents a situation where most people think of the two terms as interchangeable, but the first of the two terms, bugs, actually refers to particular group of insects.

Lay's brand announces U.S. 'Do Us A Flavor' contest finalists: Vote for Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chicken & Waffles or Sriracha through May 4
The Lay's brand today rolled out in stores across the U.S. the three consumer-created flavors that are the finalists in the Lay's "Do Us A Flavor" contest:
- Lay's Chicken & Waffles: Submitted by Christina Abu-Judom, a volunteer coordinator at a Phoenix nonprofit. Flavor inspiration: Her nephew -- who encouraged her to enter the contest, and whose favorite dish has always been chicken and waffles. He will still never let her live down that one time when she stole a bite of waffle from his plate.
- Lay's Cheesy Garlic Bread: Submitted by Karen Weber-Mendham, a part-time children's librarian and mother of three in Land O'Lakes, Wis. Flavor inspiration: Going out for pizza is a treat for her family; while waiting for the pizza to come to the table, they always order a bowl of cheesy garlic bread. Cutting the bread into equal-sized pieces so her children don't quibble, she can barely put down the bowl before it is completely snatched up.
- Lay's Sriracha: Submitted by Tyler Raineri, a student at Illinois State University. Flavor inspiration: Forgoing typical dips, he prefers to coat his chips, and pretty much everything else, in Sriracha. It was a taste he inherited from his grandmother, whose homemade chips were always seasoned with a dab of this red-hot sauce. It is also a tradition he now shares with his housemates at school.
A judging panel chose Lay's Cheesy Garlic Bread, Lay's Chicken & Waffles and Lay's Sriracha flavored potato chips from nearly 3.8 million fan submissions gathered between July 20 and Oct. 6. The three contestants behind these finalist flavors are now vying for the chance to win $1 million in grand prize money or one percent of their flavor's 2013 net sales (whichever is higher). Through May 4, consumers can vote each day for their favorite finalist flavor on the Lay's Facebook page, via Twitter using the hashtag #SaveChickenWaffles, #SaveGarlicBread or #SaveSriracha, or via text message by texting "VOTE" to 24477 (CHIPS). The winning flavor will be revealed in May and will remain on store shelves following the completion of the contest.
"It has been incredible to see the variety of flavor ideas that resulted from the millions of consumer submissions from all around the country," said Ram Krishnan, VP - Marketing, FLNA. "Millions of Lay's fans showed tremendous passion and creativity for our brand, making it extremely difficult to narrow the submissions down to just three finalist flavors. But now the final decision is in America's hands -- and we can't wait to see what they will decide to be the next great potato chip flavor."
|The three finalists in the Lay's "Do Us A Flavor" contest ring the Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Pictured: FLNA Marketing VP Ram Krishnan; FLNA SVP and CMO Ann Mukherjee; Chef Michael Symon; finalists Karen Weber-Mendham, Tyler Raineri and Christina Abu-Judom; actress Eva Longoria; PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi; and PepsiCo Americas Foods CEO Brian Cornell.
Today, the finalists joined actress and restaurateur Eva Longoria, celebrity chef and restaurateur Michael Symon, and Frito-Lay and other PepsiCo executives at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), where they rang The Opening Bell, introduced their flavors and invited consumers to "invest" in a favorite. From there, the three finalists, Longoria and Symon encouraged New Yorkers to stop by the 32-foot all-electric Frito-Lay delivery truck parked outside the NYSE building to enjoy free samples of all three finalist flavors along with Pepsi beverages.

Richland County's financial management practices earned high marks from one of the nation's leading credit rating agencies, enabling the county to borrow money for projects at a reduced cost to taxpayers, Richland County officials announced Wednesday.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) raised its long-term rating on Richland County's long-term general obligation debt to AAA, making it one of only three counties in the state to achieve this status from the agency, officials said.
The AAA rating, an indication S&P believes the county has an "extremely strong" ability to meet its financial obligations, can result in lower borrowing costs for Richland County, which in turn is good news for taxpayers, County Administrator Tony McDonald said.
"Achieving a AAA credit rating has been the goal of Richland County for some time," McDonald said. "We are very pleased that our efforts have been recognized and rewarded."
The upgrade to the AAA credit rating from AA+ puts the county within the highest ratings category allowing it to join Greenville County and Charleston County.
The rating gives the county a higher credit rating from S&P than the state of South Carolina and the United States.
The rating upgrade reflects the following positive factors: a strong economy and budgetary performance; and very strong budget flexibility, reserves, liquidity and management, McDonald said.
"Having a strong financial and budgetary foundation has been very important to County Council," said Richland County Council Chairman Kelvin Washington. "We have successfully balanced the county's obligation to provide first rate services with our need to be fiscally conservative."

The menswear label Jack Spade debuted in 1996 as a line of men's bags: durable, utilitarian, waxed-fabric and heavy canvas messenger bags that both trendsetters and utility workers could appreciate. Launched from a downtown NYC loft by fashion power couple Andy and Kate Spade, the label has since evolved into a full-fledged collection of Americana-inspired menswear and accessories — including leather shoes and boots, bags and briefcases, wallets, and iPhone and iPad cases. Functionality remains Jack Spade's trademark characteristic, as reflected by its waterproofed coats and jackets and simple button-down shirts, jeans and chinos. In 2011 Jack Spade partnered with the Massachusetts-based tailoring house Southwick on a line of men's suiting that includes crisp striped dress shirts, corduroy and flannel blazers, and finishing touches like the Warren: a cotton moleskin topcoat lined with classic herringbone fabric.
Keep it cool with warm-weather must-haves from BLK DNM, WeSC, Alternative, and more.
Stylish selections of a cool trend, from Gant, Jack Spade, Naked & Famous, and more<br /> .
Don't call it a man bag. It's a bag, man, and every guy needs a go-to carry-all for those bigger items you can't stuff into your pockets. We've got the cure for what ails you with a slew of modern, stylish bags that you won't mind schlepping to and from work. From classic Filson briefcases to John Varvatos messenger bags to Louis Vuitton laptop carriers, these bags are a perfect example of function meeting fashion.
Because it's the finishing touches that set the stylish guys apart from the rest.

I made this table out of 4/4 rough sawn Oak planks that have been sitting in my dad's garage for the past few winters. The wood came from a family friend that had an old oak tree fall on his property and he had the know how to get it sawn into boards. After a few trips through the planer I was able to to get everything to the right thickness. For the legs I went the easy route and just laminated 3 boards together and then planed them down to the correct dimensions. All the joints are mortise and tenon which were not as hard as I thought they would be, but the next go round should prove to have cleaner results.

Nice work!
I made 3 of these a few years ago and love them…I visit the Stickley site all the time and try to figure out which piece I'll make next. I did the Bow Arm Morris Char…that was a big challenge!

Good work.I really like your end table.It is one piece of furniture that makes your living room complete.The unique thing about choosing an end table, as opposed to other pieces of furniture, is the fact that it not only has to match the furniture you already have, but it also has to fit in the space you have.
Have your say...

There's a reason Peter Gabriel is a household name. One of the founders of the super-group Genesis, the British rock star went on to have great success as a solo artist known for his outlandish costumes, his cutting edge music videos, and of course, his '80s hits like "Sledgehammer" and "Shock The Monkey," which were both artistic and commercial milestones.
"Don't tell the band I'm here. I'm supposed to be recording an album. They support our cause, but they wish I would stick to singing rather than talking. And they also say Sammy Hagar to me a lot. And Phil Collins. They tell me Genesis became more popular [with] him."
Former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar knows how to party profitably. In May he inked a deal to sell 80 percent of his Cabo Wabo tequila business to Gruppo Campari for $80 million.

So glad I had the opportunity to be at this game, with these seats and be able to photograph it. Thanks for looking

An Innovation Curriculum: Introduction to Innovation and Innovation Teams
University of North Carolina at CharlotteMajor changes are underway at UCCS, which will culminate in the development of a new series of degrees: a Bachelors of Innovation (BI) and a Masters of Innovation (MI). These degrees encompass traditional disciplines, such as computer science and business, but also provide students with an extensive "innovation core" of courses intended to make them familiar with the process of innovation. NCIIA funds provide support for the development and implementation of two elements of these majors: a freshman-level "Introduction to Innovation" course and the central course of the innovation core, the six-term "Innovation Team" course. The first introduces students to innovation processes, problem-solving, teamwork strategies, etc.; the second involves them in a hands-on project in a multidisciplinary team comprised of eight to twenty students, ranging from sophomores to graduate students.

My research interests are focused on how digital technologies enhance learning. Related to this, I am concerned with digital inclusion to ensure that the potential opportunities for learning offered by digital technologies are available to all; and digital literacy to ensure uses are safe and productive. To provide context for this, I am also interested in understanding how people use digital technologies across the lifespan at home, at school and in other settings.
I am interested in receiving PhD proposals in most areas related to digital technologies, education and learning. I'm particularly interested in digital inclusion; disengagement; disability; accessibility; social uses of digital technologies; digital literacy; online safety.
I am a lecturer on the e-Research and Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) doctoral programme. On the TEL programme I convene ED.S822 The Development of Professional Practice and contribute to ED.S 821: Research Methods in Education and Social Science Settings: Philosophy, Methodology, Techniques and Tools.
I also teach on PiNE 313. Topics include digital technologies for learning, game-based learning, digital literacy and online safety.
I joined the Department of Educational Research in September 2012. Previously I worked at Futurelab - an independent not-for-profit organisation - for three years researching innovative uses of technology for education and learning. Before that I worked as a researcher at the Department of Education at Oxford University and as a lecturer and researcher at the London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, London University.

On the sandy and very tough course at Koksijde, Belgium, Dillman finished 14th besting his result of 21st last year. Both he and USA Jr Cross Champion Logan Owen rode together for most of the race until Dillman was able to pull away on a downhill sandy section on the final lap.

Well for my first diary here on GSoM, I'm going to take the very unpopular view that Baron Davis, was a positive leader last season, to a point. But first, I need to concede the negatives... He is overpaid. He gave up on the team in March. He shot way, way too many 3s. He is not the most "coachable" player.
The defense begins with a look back at why was he, and subsequently the GSW, successful at the end of 04-05? It wasn't b/c of BD running the half court. It was penetrate/dish.
Granted, we beat playoff teams by sneaking up on them. Baron had a lot to prove. He was on an extended injury-vacation and came out firing on all pistons. No, he wasn't a sharp shooter, but he showed the WarriorNation that he could step up and hit the big 3. No longer would rising superstar J Rich need to do it all alone. Yada, yada, we all bought into it and were anticpating 05-06 with baited breath.
November found the Warriors winning, but surprisingly, with defense. This confused us since it wasn't the way to become Suns-Lite. Unfortunately, we never realized that they are a far, far superior, consistent 3 point shooting club. Still, Baron was working very hard setting up shots for our shooters, and getting to the line.
The losing started with the East coast road trip in December. And, we never adjusted. The shooting was still horrible, and the attention to defense disappeared. Baron was still producing, even scoring a triple double in a 110-104 loss to the Lakers on 1/14.
I just don't believe that Baron's reign of the offense was responsible for that disappointing season. I think we were just trying to be the Suns-Lite when maybe we would have been more successful being the Pistons-Lite. Just like we lived and died with the 3 point shot, we lived and died with Baron as our saviour. He's not the guy to carry us for 82 games. He's too fragile and not consistent enough. He is one of the best at creating in transition, and attacking double teams. Why we couldn't capitalize on that and keep him from settling for jump shots? I'll never know.
I still like what Baron can do and this year, I'm not expecting him to carry us. I'm hoping for contributions from role players and a dedication to team defense every night. Consistency and desire go along way in today's NBA. Our players need to learn that lesson. Hopefully, they have.

My name is Suzy and thanks for checking out my website!
Allow me to tell you a little bit about myself.
I caught my first Hawaiian wave
at Waikiki beach when I was 15 years old! I had a permanent
smile across my face as I rode the wave all the way to the beach
and surfing changed my life forever.
I decided to become a surfer girl
and travel around the world looking for surf and adventure.
I traveled to places like South Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico,
Tahiti, Samoa and all of the Hawaiian islands. I found perfect
waves, adventure, and made memories that I will never forget!
After my travels I became a Hawaiian
lifeguard on the north shore of Oahu. I learned so much about
ocean safety and surfing, I had the idea of starting a surf school
and surf camps for women. I wanted to teach people how to surf
in the Hawaiian waters safely.
Teaching beginner surfers became
my main focus.
I also started the first women's
surf camps in Hawaii. My women's surf camps now focus on learning
surfing skills, surfing and meeting other surfer girls from
all over the world and enjoying the warm waters of Hawaii. My
surf camps are not just for the young girls but for the older
career Surf Moms also.
I Thank God everyday for giving
me such an awesome surfing life syle Where I can teach my surfing
passion to other people. I still love watching people catch
their first Hawaiian wave and see that huge smile that surfing
will put on their faces.
So If you're in Hawaii please give
me a call and let me take you surfing and experience The Thrill
of a Lifetime!

Sylvester Stallone's performance in the very brutal and bullet-ridden RAMBO films has been a breeding ground for a range of media, including two video games, one of them being on the NES. It seems we haven't yet grown old of John Rambo, with news from UK publisher Reef Entertainment that a new Rambo title will be available for viewing at this years Gamescom event.
Reef Entertainment Commercial Director Craig Lewis said: 'We have been quiet since we acquired the Rambo license last August. During this time we have been dedicated to creating a videogame for consoles and PC that will allow Rambo fans and gamers across the globe to really get under the skin of Rambo and wield his iconic weapon-set in battle.'Currently no information has been released on the game besides that it will be available for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, however there is also an official website available.
Keep an eye on AusGamers as more information about the game comes out as we get closer to Gamescom 2012.

Drivers are only as safe as the vehicle that they drive in. That is why it is important to do a quick 20 minute routine checkup of your car every six months or so. This will allow you to see what is wrong with the car, what needs fixing and it could potentially save your life.
Here is a look at what is involved in the quick 20 minute safety inspection of your car.
Check the Fluid Levels. You should check the car's fluids. Turn the car off and take the oil dipstick out and see where the mark is. If it is in between the high and low levels then you should be fine. Other fluids that need to be checked include engine oil, windshield fluid, engine coolant, transmission fluid, break fluid and air conditioner fluid. If you notice any of these are low you should replace the fluids.
Check Engine Coolant Hoses. Do a check of all the coolant hoses and make sure there is no sign of any leaks, tears or damage to them.
Check the Lights, Headlights, Horn. Inspect the car to make sure that all the headlights, taillights and other lights are operating properly. Also check to make sure that the horn works and the turn signals work.
Check the Wiper Blades. Windshield wiper blades will need to be changed every couple of months. They will tear, fray and become duller than normal. Do a quick check to see if they need replacing and replace as needed.
Check the Tires. Walk around the car and check all four tires and make sure that they are in good shape. Check the tread of the tires, if there are any holes or objects wedged in them and if they are properly inflated. Air pressure of the tires can be easily fixed at the nearest gas station while a tire replacement may also be in order.

The Acclaimed Trilogy That Has Been Called a Must-Read for Fans of Downton Abbey
A generation has been lost on the Western Front. The dead have been buried, a harsh peace forged, and the howl of shells replaced by the wail of saxophones as the Jazz Age begins. But ghosts linger—that long-ago golden summer of 1914 tugging at the memory of Martin Rilke and his British cousins, the Grevilles.
From the countess to the chauffeur, the inhabitants of Abingdon Pryory seek to forget the past and adjust their lives to a new era in which old values, social codes, and sexual mores have been irretrievably swept away. Martin Rilke throws himself into reporting, discovering unsettling political currents, as Fenton Wood-Lacy faces exile in faraway army outposts. Back at Abingdon, Charles Greville shows signs of recovery from shell shock and Alexandra is caught up in an unlikely romance. Circles of Time captures the age as these strongly drawn characters experience it, unfolding against England's most gracious manor house, the steamy nightclubs of London's Soho, and the despair of Germany caught in the nightmare of anarchy and inflation. Lives are renewed, new loves found, and a future of peace and happiness is glimpsed—for the moment.
About the Author

Praise for Circles of Time…
"Rock never slips his moorings to the story line; and it's all immensely energetic, top entertainment in the Upstairs/Downstairs vein, complete with bubbling family gossip."

Snow, snow, snow! Here in my town today was an unprecedented third consecutive snow day tacked onto the end of Christmas vacation as we continue to feel the effects of the good ol' Polar Vortex, aka Snowmageddon 2014. In celebration of the storm (or to ward off the boredom of not being able to go out and play due to sub-zero temperatures), here is a recycled craft idea for you that I posted today over at Dollar Store Crafts: a recycled soda tab snowflake! I've been on a using-nail-polish-as-a-craft-supply kick lately, and I am especially fond of this particular blue glitter polish, so I would expect that you'll be seeing more things made with it in the near future.
