Immediate Release: April 20, 2011
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- Host Marist (23-12) scored three runs in the eighth inning to overcome a 2-0 hole and defeat Binghamton (13-18) 3-2 in a non-conference game Wednesday afternoon from McCann Field.
The Red Foxes combined three hits with a walk, hit batter and wild pitch in the pivotal eighth, spoiling a solid effort from a collection of BU pitchers.
Each team utilized six pitchers in predetermined fashion. The Bearcats outhit Marist 10-9 but left 10 runners stranded, including the tying run on third in the ninth.
Binghamton snapped a scoreless game with two runs in the sixth frame. Sophomore second baseman Mike Thompson and sophomore first baseman Bijan Mangouri collected RBIs. Thompson stroked an RBI single that scored senior center fielder Corey Taylor, who had led off the inning with a single. Mangouri's groundout scored freshman left fielder Shaun McGraw, who had singled earlier in the inning.
After five pitchers kept Marist at bay through seven innings, the Red Foxes struck in the eighth. They plated the first run on a wild pitch, the tying run on an infield single and pushed across the winning run with another RBI single.
The Bearcats had a chance to tie it in the ninth, moving a runner to third before a foul pop up ended the game. Sophomore third baseman Jordon Smucker coaxed a leadoff walk, was sacrificed to second and took third on a groundout before being stranded.
Thompson went 2-for-3 with an RBI and senior catcher C.J. Lukaszewski, freshman shortstop John Howell and Taylor had two hits apiece.
Binghamton hosts Hartford in a four-game America East series this Saturday and Sunday afternoons at Varsity Field. Both twinbills begin at noon.

15 servings
Prep Time
Cook Time
|g ground almonds
|g icing sugar
|large egg whites
|tablespoon caster sugar
|violet food coloring paste
|White chocolate blueberry ganache:
|cup chopped white chocolate
|cup cream
|tablespoon blueberry jam
Start by making the macarons: grab two large pieces of baking paper and, using a cookie cutter, trace 4cm-circles, 3cm apart from each other, all over the paper. Turn the paper sheets around and line 2 large baking trays with them. Sieve the ground almonds and icing sugar together into a large bowl. Put the egg whites into a separate bowl, and using an electric hand whisk, beat to soft peaks. Add the caster sugar, and whisk until glossy. Fold into the almond and icing sugar mixture, along with a very small amount of the food coloring – it's easier to use a toothpick to remove coloring from the bottle. Mix until just combined and evenly violet – the mixture will reduce as the air bubbles in the meringue burst. Put the mixture into a disposable piping bag, snip off 1cm from the end. Pipe blobs onto the circles on the baking paper so you have about 28-30 in total. Set aside for 30 minutes to dry – this is important as it gives the macaroons the correct texture. Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF. Bake for 5 minutes, then turn the baking sheet and bake for another 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Make the filling: pour the cream in a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Remove from heat, add chocolate and jam and mix vigorously until chocolate is melted and ganache is smooth. Set aside to cool until firm enough to be piped or spooned between macarons shells. Peel off the baking paper from the macaroons, then sandwich 2 together with a blob of blueberry ganache in the center. Repeat to give you 14-15 in total. Store the macaroons in an airtight container for up to 3 days – I kept mine in the fridge.

As Americans rejigger their budgets to abide the nation's economic gloom, travel plans are being routinely cast aside, leading to plummeting airline traffic and a tourism downturn around the globe.
But at least one demographic has refused to relinquish its passion for travel. Chicagoan Tim Engdahl is part of that group: gay, gainfully employed, with no kids and a lifelong wanderlust.

Pets Don't Find Halloween Fun
Many in the valley will be marking tonight with fun spookiness, but for some family members, the holiday is anything but fun. A consortium of veterinarians nationally is urging pet-owners to be conscious of the effects on their four-legged friends. Things pets will find upsetting include the continual doorbell ringing, strangers in costume, candle flames and jack-o-lanterns. They suggest finding a place for your pet where they can stay through the evening and feel safe and secure. The vets also urge pet-owners to keep their pets inside – especially black cats – since unfortunately they become the targets of pranksters.

A quadruple fix of Orange County punk rock is just what the doctor ordered for the summertime blues. Three legendary bands on the bill- The Adolescents, The Middle Class, and The Crowd are up for celebrating Adolescents member Steve Soto's birthday with a show at Alex's Bar. Noted as a "punk supergroup" The Adolescents have been a beloved presence in Orange County for the thirty-plus years of their existence, and don't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down (lucky for us). And even as Soto celebrates the big 5-0, the guys are still as young and kick-ass as any adolescent in Orange County. Tonight the trio of bands play with Rats In The Wall.

Carpal tunnel treatment — doctor guides decisions
Carpal tunnel treatment — doctor guides decisions
Peter Amadio, M.D., a Mayo Clinic hand surgeon
It's essential because the treatment decision is based on things that the doctor brings and things that the patient brings. The doctor is the person who's in the best position to tell you how bad the carpal tunnel syndrome is and what's likely to happen to the nerve with various kinds of treatment or if you choose not to have treatment. But the patient, you the patient, you're the only one that knows how bad it bothers you and that also has to be a very important part of making a treatment decision. Because if it doesn't bother you very much, even if it's relatively bad, well then we need to think a lot more about adding risks or adding the potential for complications because we certainly don't want to make you worse. On the other hand, even if the problem is relatively mild, if it bothers you a lot, then that might push us to be a bit more aggressive as far as treatment. So it's very, very important that the doctor and the patient be partners in the decision. Neither one can make a perfectly informed decision without the other.
The long-term results after carpal tunnel surgery are usually pretty good. The risk of re-operation is very small. Even at the most extreme, it's probably less than a 5 percent chance that you might have to have the operation done over again. So usually the result is good from that regard that additional surgery isn't likely to be necessary. However, it's important to remember that most people who have carpal tunnel syndrome, if you ask them closely, will say that they do have some residual problems in that hand. The hand is not perfectly, completely normal like it was when they were young, younger and healthier. There might be some tenderness in the palm, there might still be some numbness or tingling in the fingers with activities, there might be some weakness of grip or some easier fatigue ability in that hand, so it's important to remember that the result is not a perfectly normal hand as if nothing were ever wrong with it. But usually it's a much improved hand with much less in the way of numbness and tingling — a stronger grip, better dexterity and a better ability to do everyday activities.

Found January 24, 2013 on Fox Sports:
PLAYERS: Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Brian Vickers
Joe Gibbs Racing brings a new mix to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this season, adding veteran Matt Kenseth to the lineup of Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin. Ever since the move was announced, people have been predicting that the addition of Kenseth would change the team. They didn't see this coming, though. Kenseth, the 2003 Sprint Cup champion, is known for his consistent performances and annual runs for the title. For those who follow him on Twitter or listen to him week to week, he's also known for his dry wit. At the Joe Gibbs Racing shop on Thursday, he showed that he can spice things up among his rowdier young teammates. As Busch was going over details of his new contract extension, and joking that he had bankrupted team owner Joe Gibbs, the gamesmanship began. "We already gave him all the best stuff," Busch said of Kenseth. "He was the fastest Toyota car down at the Daytona test. What else we got to do?" "That was part of my deal. Kyle might have got all the money, but I got all the good stuff," Kenseth replied. Oh yeah? "That's all right, I make up for it in talent." Busch responded. But they weren't done. Hamlin piped in that he had coached Kenseth on that opening Daytona International Speedway test run, trying to buoy his spirits in case things didn't go well. "Don't be discouraged about our speedway program," Hamlin said. "It's not very good." Obviously, Kenseth disputed that notion. As the trio appeared to settle down, new Nationwide Series driver Brian Vickers fanned the flames once more. Looking at Kenseth, he asked, "Didn't you win a championship already?" Busch wasn't about to let that go, either. "That was a long time ago," he quipped.

About the
Nopal Cactus
It is said about it that it has many health benefits. This cactus can be found as ingredient in various natural supplements and also as ingredient in
various weight loss pills. Some manufacturers claim that it can help to lose weight and therefore it is used in weight loss diets. Nopalin from Calivita
is such a nutritional supplement, produced in tablet form containing dried Nopal strain.
The Nopal cactus is harvested and dried so that it can be used as a natural supplement. It helps to cleanse the digestive tract, preventing the
absorption of insulin in the blood, it contributes to a healthy heart and liver. This is also used as a pill to curb your appetite naturally.
This cactus is also used to prepare a dish (scrambled eggs, mixed with meat or tacos, grilled with tomatoes, etc..).
This type of food (called "nopales"), is created by removing the skin and using only the inner part. An improvement is expected from this aliment,
among others, the digestive system.
Some manufacturers of diet pills don't hesitate to include also this plant in their weight loss supplements because it can determine the weight loss.
However, there are no concrete scientific evidence to support these claims.
However, once extracted, dried and ingested, the cactus can swell to 50 times the size compared to its dried form. This can produce a temporary
sense of satiety (reducing appetite), and can help people who are on a diet to eat fewer aliments without using chemicals that can cause unwanted
side effects. And hence one of the positive results obtained in the diet for the
weight loss
Certain studies have shown that the Nopal supplements (a plant low in carbohydrates), can produce a stabilizing effect on diseases such as diabetes.
However, diabetes is a serious disease and patients should not take any supplements as treatment, such as those based on Nopal cactus without
subsequently consulting their doctor or diabetes specialist.
People living in the regions where this cactus grows, use the extracts of this plant to treat the inflammation of blood vessels near the heart, and also
to cleanse the colon. Rigorous scientific studies fail to certify these two advantages of this plant.
Nopalea obtained from this cactus might be able to reduce totally the cholesterol, but also the bad cholesterol without affecting the level of the good
cholesterol. However, there are no sufficiently thorough and accurate scientific studies to certify this property.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to medroxyprogesterone: compounding powder, intramuscular suspension, oral tablet, subcutaneous suspension
Cushing's syndrome is uncommon and appears to be associated with a long duration of therapy and moderate to high doses of medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Provera) Doses used for hormonal replacement therapy and for long-term contraception are not associated with Cushing's syndrome.
Medroxyprogesterone has mild glucocorticoid activity. In cases of medroxyprogesterone-induced Cushing's syndrome, low cortisol and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) levels with a reduced pituitary-adrenal reserve have been documented. Acute adrenal insufficiency may ensue following withdrawal of medroxyprogesterone.
Endocrine side effects have included breast tenderness, galactorrhea with or without hyperprolactinemia, prevention of lactation, hirsutism, and Cushing's syndrome.
Weight gain is more frequently encountered than weight loss during medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Provera) therapy. In women using intramuscular medroxyprogesterone for contraception, the mean weight gain after one year of therapy is 2.5 kg. After two, four, and six years, patients gain a mean of 3.7, 6.3, and 7.5 kg, respectively.
Data regarding the effect of medroxyprogesterone on lipid profiles have been conflicting. Some studies report possible negative effects on lipid profiles while others have documented a reduction in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.
Metabolic side effects have included weight changes (increases and decreases), glucose intolerance, and changes in serum cholesterol concentrations.
Genitourinary side effects have been relatively common and included primarily menstrual changes such as amenorrhea, irregular bleeding, spotting, and heavy bleeding. Vaginal cysts, dyspareunia, and changes in cervical erosion and secretions have also been reported. While endometrial hyperplasia has been reported, medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Provera) tended to have a favorable effect on the endometrium. Changes in libido and anorgasmia have also occurred.
Withdrawal bleeding is a common complaint among postmenopausal women receiving sequential (10 to 14 days per cycle) medroxyprogesterone therapy. In postmenopausal women receiving continuous medroxyprogesterone and estrogen therapy, 75% or more are amenorrheic by one year of therapy.
In women receiving medroxyprogesterone for contraception, more than 50% are amenorrheic by one year of therapy.
In women on estrogen replacement therapy, the addition of medroxyprogesterone or other progestin for at least 10 to 14 days of each cycle significantly reduces the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and, thus, the risk of endometrial carcinoma. Low-dose continuous medroxyprogesterone therapy also reduces the risk of endometrial hyperplasia associated with the use of unopposed estrogen.
In patients in whom abnormal bleeding persists or is severe, the possibility of an organic pathology should be considered and ruled out.
A significant increase in the incidence of breast cancer in beagle dogs in addition to an apparent increase in the incidence of endometrial cancer in rhesus monkeys was noted in early animal carcinogenicity studies.
International long-term studies designed to assess the risk of medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Provera) in humans, sponsored by the World Health Organization, failed to find an increased risk of cancer in users of medroxyprogesterone. Overall, there was no significant increase in the risk of breast cancer, cervical cancer, or epithelial ovarian cancer. Data from these studies did, however, support a significant (8-fold) reduction in the incidence of endometrial cancer among medroxyprogesterone users.
A study from New Zealand has suggested that women taking depot medroxyprogesterone acetate may be at higher risk for breast cancer during the first 5 years, but therapy for more than 5 years confers no increased risk of breast cancer.
Oncologic side effects possibly associated with medroxyprogesterone have been the topic of considerable debate. Data from some animal studies suggested an increased risk of breast and endometrial cancer. The current consensus is that the carcinogenic potential of medroxyprogesterone is no greater than that of other hormonal contraceptives.
The majority of cases of thromboembolic disease during hormonal therapy have been attributed to estrogens and not to progestins. However, it has been demonstrated that medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Provera) at least at high doses, can produce a hypercoagulable state. Whether or not this contributes to the development of thrombotic events remains unknown.
Because medroxyprogesterone can cause edema, it should be used cautiously in patients with underlying disease (like migraine headaches, asthma, heart disease, renal dysfunction, or seizure disorders) which may be exacerbated by edema or fluid retention.
Cardiovascular side effects have included thromboembolic disorders such as thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accidents, and retinal thrombosis. In addition, edema, hypertension, tachycardia, and syncope have been noted.
Musculoskeletal side effects have included changes in bone mineral density and leg cramps.
Reductions in bone mineral density and osteoporosis have been attributed to medroxyprogesterone. Such effects are probably due to medroxyprogesterone-induced estrogen deficiency.
Conflicting data concerning the effects of medroxyprogesterone on bone mineral density have been reported.
In one study, women 25 to 51 years of age receiving medroxyprogesterone 150 mg intramuscularly every three months for five or more years for long-term contraception had a reduction in bone mineral density compared with premenopausal controls. However, bone mineral density in the treatment group was still significantly greater than that observed in postmenopausal controls.
A study of 200 women who received medroxyprogesterone 150 mg intramuscularly every three months for a median duration of 12 years (range 2 to 26 years) reported that bone density was significantly reduced in medroxyprogesterone users. However, bone mineral density in women starting depot medroxyprogesterone after the age of 20 years and using it for 15 or fewer years was greater than the remainder of the cohort.
A study to determine the potential for postmenopausal fracture due to residual effects of depot medroxyprogesterone in former users reported the risk to be small and unlikely to have substantial impact in postmenopausal women. No significant differences in bone density were found, however, women who had used depot medroxyprogesterone for >2 yeas had a trend toward lower bone densities.
Bone density in 185 women receiving long-term depot medroxyprogesterone for a mean of 5 years (range of 1-16 years) was only minimally below the normal population despite decreased estrogen levels.
Dermatologic side effects have included acne, reduced hair growth, alopecia, melasma, chloasma, rash, excessive sweating, dry skin, scleroderma, erythema multiforme, and erythema nodosum.
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have included headache, asthenia, dizziness, depression, somnolence, and insomnia. Paresthesias, convulsions, and facial palsy have been reported although causality is unknown.
Gastrointestinal side effects have occurred in up to 5% of patients and included nausea, abdominal pain, bloating, and anorexia.
Hepatic side effects have included elevations in liver function tests, jaundice, cholestatic jaundice, and cholelithiasis.
Hematologic side effects have included rare reports of hypercoagulability with and without thromboembolic activity.
Hypersensitivity side effects have been uncommon but have included urticaria, angioneurotic edema, and anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reactions.
Local side effects associated with intramuscular administration of medroxyprogesterone (the active ingredient contained in Provera) have included pain, change in skin color, residual lumps, and sterile abscesses at the injection site.
Ocular side effects have included visual disturbances such as sudden loss of vision (partial or complete), sudden onset of proptosis, diplopia, or migraine have been reported. Therapy should be withdrawn in the presence of papilledema or retinal vascular lesions.
Psychiatric side effects have included dysphoric symptoms similar to premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Addiction Medicine has an active teaching program relating to alcohol and other drugs. This includes teaching of medical students, electives in the Masters of Public Health, research students, and professional education. In addition, tertiary courses in alcohol and other drugs and health for Indigenous health workers have recently been created, with the first intake of students commencing in 2008.
Sydney Medical Program
Drug and alcohol issues are primarily built into years/stages 1 and 4 of the Medical Program. Due to the diverse range of problems related to Drug and Alcohol use and misuse, and a pervasive tendency to minimise their significance, maintenance of teaching skills is of importance to ensure the students are well taught. Sharing of teaching tasks across the small number of academic staff in the three clinical schools is important.
Masters of Public Health
Two electives, PUBH5114 and PUBH5115, in drug and alcohol were established in 2000 within the Master of Public Health program and these are now available as external courses. These electives aim to assist students in developing an evidence based understanding of the epidemiology of alcohol and drug use, its impact on health and the effectiveness of strategies for prevention and management of related problems.
For more information on how to enrol in these courses, click here.
Courses in Indigenous Health
- Graduate Diploma in Indigenous Health (Substance Use)
- Graduate Certificate in Indigenous Health (Substance Use)
- Master in Indigenous Health (Substance Use)
These new courses are designed for Indigenous Health Professionals wishing to further develop their skills in the field of prevention and treatment of substance use disorders. The Graduate Diploma is a 12 month block release course, which includes learning in the field of clinical skills, prevention and policy, and management. The Graduate Certificate is a shorter, 6 month course. The Masters course includes the Graduate Diploma teaching experience, then goes on for another 12 months to include course work in the field of public health in relation to substance use.
Visit the Indigenous Programs page of this site for further details.
Enquiries to A/Prof Kate Conigrave, Email: email@example.com
Supervision of Students
A number of academics are involved in supervision of Masters, Honours and PhD level students within the School of Public Health. See staff details. Current research projects and opportunities for students are shown in the Research Tab of this site.
Drug and Alcohol Medical Teaching Project
A series of lecture presentations have been developed with the aim of providing a publicly available, comprehensive resource for use in drug and alcohol medical education across New South Wales and beyond. The lectures were developed from contributions by various drug and alcohol staff from across the University of Sydney, along with drug and alcohol staff from other New South Wales universities and institutions. The project was funded by the Centre for Drug and Alcohol, New South Wales Department of Health.

Unlocking the Connection for Austin's public housing residents
That's why today, the Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) is launching Unlocking the Connection, a homegrown Austin initiative to help close the digital divide for the 4,300 people who live in public housing. Unlocking the Connection addresses the full set of resources needed to make the Web more available and relevant to Austinites who aren't online today — an affordable Internet connection, access to devices, basic computer skills training, and opportunities to better understand how they can use the Web in their daily lives. HACA has brought together more than 20 national and local partners, including Google Fiber, to play a role in the program.
We started talking with HACA after the City of Austin selected its Booker T. Washington training center as a site to receive Google Fiber as part of our Community Connections program. That conversation, and the many that followed, demonstrated that HACA had an ambitious vision for a digital inclusion program — one that was deeply rooted in the often complex reasons that people weren't yet online — and that there was a natural way that Google Fiber could help.
Google Fiber will bring state of the art infrastructure to Austin's public housing; we will provide a free fiber connection to any existing HACA property in a neighborhood that meets its signup goal to get Google Fiber. If a family in one of these properties signs up for our Basic Service, they get an in-home Internet connection at today's basic broadband speeds, free for ten years after construction, They can also upgrade and pay for gigabit speeds anytime. In addition, we're providing computers to HACA education and training centers, as well as funding Austin Free-Net, a local nonprofit, to provide digital literacy training in HACA properties. Along with the contributions of dozens of other partners — foundations, corporations, educational institutions — this support can advance HACA's vision to bring more of its residents online.
Google Fiber is making a long-term investment in each city where we build — including Austin, where digital inclusion is a citywide priority. Here and in any city, our approach is shaped by potential partners, the cues of local leaders, and the unique needs of residents. Unlocking the Connection is the result of the collaboration and commitment of the Austin community — it's driven by HACA's vision, supported by local leaders, and engages the talents of community organizations. We're proud to work hand-in-hand with all of these partners to help create a more connected Austin.

A next step for Google Fiber and small business
Now we're taking another step to speed up the Internet for small businesses—today, we're kicking off an Early Access Program for Google Fiber for Small Business in select areas of central Kansas City. And whether a business uses their connection to move to the cloud, get closer to customers on Hangouts, or bring more transactions online, we're excited to see what happens when Kansas City businesses say farewell to slow speeds and hello to all the tools and technologies that they need to grow.
The Early Access Program is available today in a handful of fiberhoods in Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, MO. Small businesses in these areas can sign up for a gigabit Internet connection and be among the very first businesses to get Google Fiber. Though not all areas of central Kansas City are open for signups just yet, we'll keep you posted as we expand. Small businesses can visit our website to get more details, register for email updates, and be the first to know when they can sign up.
|First fiberhoods with Early Access for small businesses in Kansas City, KS
|First fiberhoods with Early Access for small businesses in Kansas City, MO
Earlier this year, we started a pilot in Kansas City to learn more about what business owners need. We heard from documentary filmmakers, flower shops, web development agencies, and more. All of these small businesses have a lot of ideas on how a faster Internet connection could speed up their entire business — we can't wait to see what they do with Google Fiber.
We know that small businesses play a big part in Provo and Austin, too. And while we don't have specific plans for small businesses in other cities right now, we'll be sure to share updates when we can.

Gigabit Enthusiasm: an economic reality
While many people think of gigabit internet as essential to the future of the Web, others have wondered if these fiber networks just might be too fast, too soon. Based on early evidence of the economic impact of fiber-fed, gigabit services, we believe that the time for gigabit skepticism is over.
Today the Fiber-to-the-Home Council Americas (FTTH Council) released a first-of-its-kind study — Early Evidence Suggests Gigabit Broadband Drives GDP — which looked at 55 communities in 9 states and found a positive impact on economic activity in the 14 communities where gigabit Internet services are widely available. In fact, these gigabit broadband communities exhibited a per capita GDP approximately 1.1 percent higher than the 41 similar communities with little to no availability of gigabit services.
This may not sound like much but consider this: in dollar terms, our research suggests that the 14 gigabit broadband communities studied enjoyed approximately $1.4 billion in additional GDP when gigabit broadband became widely available. (That's enough money to buy the Buffalo Bills — if you wanted to).
Our study suggests that as gigabit services become available in more communities, the impact on economies and consumers is likely to be substantial. Indeed, if the 41 communities in our study without gigabit broadband were to adopt the new service, they could expect as much as $3.3 billion in incremental GDP. And we are not alone in this perspective; the ratings agency Fitch underscored this point when it upgraded Kansas City, Missouri's bond ratings, noting that the gigabit to the home fiber network "[…] has the potential to make a significant economic impact."
The deployment of widespread ultra-high bandwidth broadband offers great promise for our economic future, similar to the way that access to abundant electricity transformed the country, lighting up factories to produce affordable consumer goods and automobiles for transportation. The availability of electricity spurred an era of high productivity and economic growth. And now, we are beginning to see that access to abundant bandwidth is likely to have a similarly positive impact on our economy.
Widespread gigabit availability contributes to the economy in multiple ways. Investment in physical infrastructure and labor creates jobs and increases expenditures into inputs like electronics and fiber optic cable. But next generation broadband infrastructure can also shift economic activity, sparking local tech scenes and the relocation of businesses. Claris Networks moved its data center operations from Knoxville to Chattanooga to take advantage of its fiber network. Lafayette's network attracted Hollywood special effects company Pixel Magic to the community, because the high performance gigabit network lets Pixel Magic move computer files back and forth between Lafayette and California quickly. And from the Hacker House in Kansas City to Fargo's Startup House in Fargo, North Dakota, local entrepreneurs are using gigabit networks to develop new applications and services, bringing in new investment and talent along the way.
In the last several years, communities, their leaders and several private companies have made moves to stimulate and support our economy by upgrading our networks to gigabit capabilities. They, and we, remain gigabit enthusiasts, willing to welcome the skeptics to help us make gigabit communities a priority.

Re-opening Fiber sign-ups in Provo: $30 through September
Fiber actually costs quite a bit more than $30 to install in a home; in Kansas City, for example, we charge $300. But Provo was looking for a partner that would help keep their vision — affordable, high-speed service for residents — alive. So we promised to offer a fiber connection, plus our Free Internet plan, for $30 to everyone who signed up for our first wave of local installations.
So far, many people have taken advantage of this. However, we've also heard from some of you who missed your deadline to get the $30 Fiber — you either moved to a new neighborhood, or you just didn't know that you needed to sign up by a certain date — and you've asked us for another chance to get service. So from now until September 20th, we're re-opening signups for Fiber; anyone in a Provo fiberhood can go to our website and sign up.
This is the last chance to get Fiber for $30 — after this wave of sign-ups and installations, our construction fee will probably be closer to the same $300 that we charge in Kansas City. So, if you're interested in getting Fiber, now's the time to sign up!
Have questions or want to learn more about Fiber? We're going to be out and about throughout the community over the next few months and we'd love to chat with you or help you sign up!
July 3, 4, and 5 (10AM-8PM) - Visit our booth at the Freedom Days Festival (we'll have popsicles, Google Fiber sunglasses, and t-shirts while supplies last!)
July 4 (9AM) - Freedom Festival Grand Parade
July 4 (7PM-10:30PM) - Provo Rooftop Concert Series
July 12 (11AM-2PM) - Family-friendly summer outdoor activities at the Google Fiber Field Day (at Provost Elementary School)
July 17 (6:30PM-10:30PM) - Movie Under the Stars (The Lego Movie!) at Bicentennial Park
July 19 (9AM-2PM) - Provo Farmer's Market

Building Connected Communities: A Digital Media Lab for Teens
When you think about libraries, you may think of books stacked on shelves and quiet spaces to work. You can definitely find those in the Kansas City Public Libraries; but for more than a decade, we have also been adding digital resources. There are hundreds of computers, usually packed with folks reading the news, checking their email, or looking for jobs. And each week, we offer classes on computer and Internet basics. We started these efforts in part to address the "digital divide" — 25 % of Kansas City residents do not have the Internet at home, others don't use the web at all, and many who do have access are not sure how to use it to their best advantage.
That is particularly true for youth. Often referred to as digital natives, they are not intimidated by technology. Yet we've seen that many teens either don't have Internet access at home, or they have no idea how to translate their interest in digital media into personal and/or professional opportunities for growth. This lack of access and knowledge directly impacts their workforce readiness, since almost all jobs today require some level of expertise with digital resources.
So we asked an advisory board of teens how we could help them and their peers learn more about digital technology. With their feedback, and with funding from the MacArthur Foundation and the Kansas City Digital Inclusion Fund, we built a new program — the Kansas City Digital Media Lab (KCDML). KCDML teaches teens high-tech digital skills, and provides them with resources and a platform to find their voice and share their stories.
We opened KCDML at our North-East and Southeast library branches last month, and our teens dove right in. In their first project, they shot and edited personal videos using images they captured in the library. Next, they figured out how to use 3D printers to make Mother's Day gifts. And in another project, we've started teaching teens how to code, focusing mostly on website development, game design, and app creation. (Did you know that the number of computer programming jobs in the U.S is expected to jump 30% from 2010 to 2020? Compare that to the average growth of all other U.S. jobs which is predicted to be just 14%. What a useful skill to pick up at your local library!).
Working on these projects and playing with fancy tech gadgets is cool — but the real opportunity for teens is that they get to work with and learn from a great group of adult collaborators. Kansas City is an amazing intersection of tech and creativity. We are a growing tech hub, and businesses in the KC area employ over 34,000 "digital storytelling" jobs — which means that, in addition to our dedicated library staff, we have a number of professionals who are willing to share their expertise in storytelling, coding and more with our youth.
Of course, while this opportunity for 1:1 learning is incredibly valuable, we also want the KCDML to be a place where teens can "geek out" and play on their own — spending time on what is most interesting to them. The idea of freedom within the space, and ownership over the instruction, is an important part of our lab. It gets noisy...It gets messy...But there is interest-based learning, project creation, and growth happening on every level. So far we have gotten great feedback from both the youth and the adults in the space, so we know we're on the right track. Moving forward we'll invite even more like-minded Kansas Citians to come out and be a part of the journey. We've got a lab, we're going mobile, and we have a great group of participants and adult collaborators. We are looking forward to a summer full of noisy, geeky, excited exploration!

Pediatrician Richard Ferber is the founder and former director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Children's Hospital in Boston. Since the publication of his book Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems in 1985, he's become known as a leading – and controversial – expert on children's sleep.
Chances are you've heard about Ferber's method for teaching babies to soothe themselves to sleep – a method so closely associated with him it's often called "Ferberizing." This method and variations on it are also referred to as "cry it out," although he never calls it that.
Over the years, Ferber's method of sleep training has sparked controversy among parents, pediatricians, and sleep experts alike: Some swear by the Ferber approach, while others claim that it creates lifelong emotional scars. It's also often exaggerated and misunderstood. (See "Ferber's method: Facts and fiction," below.)
An updated and expanded version of Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems, published in 2006, has continued to keep Ferber and his approach to sleep in the public eye.
Read our complete article on cry it out sleep training methods.
In a nutshell, Ferber says you can teach your baby to soothe himself to sleep when he's physically and emotionally ready, usually sometime between 3 and 5 months of age.
He recommends following a warm, loving bedtime routine and then putting your baby in bed awake and leaving him (even if he cries) for gradually longer periods of time. Putting a child to bed awake, says Ferber, is crucial to successfully teaching him to go to sleep on his own.
Parents are instructed to pat and comfort their baby after each predetermined period of time, but not to pick up or feed their baby. This routine is called "progressive waiting."
The suggested waiting time, which Ferber charts in his book, is based on how comfortable you are with the technique, how many days you've been using it, and how many times you've already checked on your child that night.
After a few days to a week of gradually increasing the waiting time, the theory goes, most babies learn to fall asleep on their own, having discovered that crying earns nothing more than a brief check from you.
Ferber says you should let your child cry it out alone in his crib until he falls asleep.
What he actually says
Ferber never says you should simply leave your baby in his crib and shut the door behind you. His progressive waiting approach allows you to gradually limit the time you spend in your child's room while providing regular comfort and reassurance – as well as reassuring yourself that he's okay.
Ferber encourages parents to let their child cry until he throws up.
What he actually says
This charge is often leveled against Ferber as evidence of the callousness of his method, as if vomiting were one of the goals of his approach. In reality, it's true that a baby who cries long and hard enough may vomit, but such incidents are rare.
Ferber's point is that in the unusual case that vomiting happens, it shouldn't deter you from sleep training.
His advice? To matter-of-factly clean your child up and then leave the room. Ferber believes that a tantrum or an extended period of crying alone won't hurt a child in the long run.
Ferber says his method will work quickly, easily, and for everyone.
What he actually says
Ferber believes his approach is effective but he never claims that it's easy. Ideally, the method works in a few days to a week, but Ferber acknowledges that's not always the case.
His book is full of ideas for what to do if the program isn't working ("If Things Are Not Getting Better" is the title of one long section) and encouragement for parents who find the process only slightly less discouraging than nights of interrupted sleep.
Ferber says you must never, ever deviate from a set sleep schedule.
What he actually says
Sticking to a routine is fundamental to Ferber's method – and to most sleep methods, for that matter.
Still, Ferber acknowledges that there are times – for example, if your child is sick, or you're traveling, or you have a babysitter – when you'll have to be flexible. If your baby's sleep schedule has been disrupted and he's waking up again at night, you may have to start the process all over again.
When the 2006 edition of Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems came out, it was rumored that Ferber had reversed his earlier approach, but that simply isn't true. The new book reiterates a lot of what Ferber wrote in the earlier volume, with some important clarifications and additions:
Not all parents and parenting experts believe it's okay to leave a small child alone to cry, even for a few minutes. "No cry" advocates consider Ferber's approach harmful to children, and argue that it could undermine a child's sense of security in the world.
Some of the controversy surrounding the Ferber method also springs from widespread misunderstanding about what his method actually involves.
Absolutely. If you want to try the Ferber method but find it too rigid, use a more gradual approach.
For instance, you can stretch out Ferber's seven-day program over 14 days so that you increase the wait between checks every other night rather than every night.
And keep in mind your primary objective: To give yourself and your child a good night's rest.

4820: Accepting a donation to the Islamic Centre from a woman whose earnings are not halaal
I pray to Allah azzavajall that this mail
reaches you in a state of good healt and strong iman ameen.
Sheikh we have an organization that are in urgent need of getting the ruling on one issue.
We have a dawa organization that are trying to uphold the authentic sunnah of our blessed prophet (saw) and insha Allah call people to the understanding and manners of his noble companions.
A woman whants to donate large amount of zadaqa to our organization wich up to now is financed of our own personal means.
The issue is that her money was made in a way that is not halal, but in a time of ignoranse before she started to practise her religion. And she made taubah and started to practise her religion after. (she is was a borned muslim but not practising when she earnde this money) can we use this money in financing our modest attempt to make dawa over here in sweden?
Praise be to Allaah.
We put this question to Saykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen, who answered as follows:
Yes, that is permissible, because although it is haraam for her, it is halaal for others if it is taken in a proper manner, and you will be taking it in a proper manner.
