We're all about labor rights here at March on Blair Mountain, and we're especially all about women's labor rights. It should be obvious by now that women's labor rights have made major, major strides forward in the last couple of years, which is awesome!
However, there's still a ways to go. The data still suggests that women earn less than men and are significantly underrepresented at the executive level, especially in large corporations. Up until recently, we assumed that was caused by remnants of oppressive policies and regulations, but an enlightening study has recently shown that it may be much more about psychology than policy.

From daredevil pilots dropping grenades on WWI troops to the devastating A-10 "Warthog," trace the history of ground attack aircraft.
Where other pilots try to survive by staying away from enemy guns, the men who fly ground support spend much of their buzzing just above the infantry and tanks they attack. One tiny mistake can slam them into the ground in a split second. One well-placed shot means instant death.
In World War I, daring pilots would lean over the sides of rickety biplanes to drop grenades on troops below. Today, awesome planes like the A-10 "Warthog" streak low across the battlefield, ripping through infantry and blasting enemy tanks open with their devastating cannon and missiles. They are a vital part of nearly all land-based operations, providing essential support to troops on the ground. ATTACK AIRCRAFT chronicles the development, technology and strategy of these "flying tanks." Combat footage shows them in action from World War II to Desert Storm, and in gripping interviews pilots detail the tactics that they employ to stay alive while firing on targets sometimes only a hundred feet away. It's a riveting look at a dangerous and difficult mission, and the extraordinary planes that perform it.

We've written about Osorb before, but we were eager to see this miracle material in person. Made out of what is essentially glass, the substance acts like a nanomechanical sponge that absorbs petroleum, solvents and other toxins. Just think about the applications – from cleaning up oil spills to purifying water from frack sites to providing potable water to those who need it. Osorb's creator, Paul Edmiston was on hand to explain how the material – which he explained he first made accidentally – works and even did a demonstration right before our eyes where he contaminated some water, introduced and then removed the Osorb, and then proceeded to drink the newly clean water!
When we think about what we were doing when we were in high school (playing Super NES, possibly eating a sandwich?), it make us downright embarrassed to even stand next to the youngsters of the West Philly Hybrid X Team, who were also honored at the event. These talented 10th, 11th and 12th graders under the guidance of faculty advisor Simon Hauger spend their afternoons building and tweaking hybrid vehicles like this one that gets 160-MPGE. And get this – some of them can't even drive yet!

text: 34 Items View: 12 / 24 / 48 No down side By Frag Shark on 12/16/2014 Frag Shark would recommend this product to a friend This is a simple effective upgrade for an RO system. It extends the life of your DI resin by allowing the first DI to be completely depleted before being replaced. It is also an easy way to add a DI stage to a RO unite that doesn't have one. Great way to get TDS to 0 By Nanoman28g on 12/11/2014 Nanoman28g would recommend this product to a friend I had been using a three stage RO unit for years with a TDS reading of 10, but most people say that is not ideal for reef tanks, so I went ahead and installed this DI unit, which brought my TDS down to 0. Great product and very easy to install. It's great! By Steve on 12/7/2014 Steve would recommend this product to a friend I had a BRS 5 stage system already, but added this canister to get the most from my DI resin. Even when the resin has changed color, it still has a little bit of life in it, so this way I can stretch my DI dollars a little bit. It's identical to the canisters I already have and as an added bonus - it came already full of resin! Bonus! good deal By chillermike on 11/15/2014 chillermike would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this because I wanted to get the most out of my resin. I added it to my existing 5 stage system. When the 1st di changes all the way to brown the second one is picking up the slack. At that point simply change the cartilage and add new resin to the depleted one. No waste I get the most out of the resin for a 40.00 dollar investment and by the way you get 13.00 dollars worth or resin with the canister kind of a no brainer you are only paying 26.00 for the canister such a great deal. Easy to install By Bob on 11/9/2014 Bob would recommend this product to a friend Easy to install. This 2nd unit will prevent producing TDS water greater than 0 for my reef tank when the first unit is exhausted. A must have for your R.O. unit. By Michael on 9/2/2014 Michael would recommend this product to a friend Instantly solved my TDS problem. I had been struggling with TDS readings from 3-10 for several months. New filters did not solve my problem. I installed the BRS DI Canister and my TDS went to zero. As usual with BRS, the item was top quality and shipping was fast. Works great! By Van on 6/1/2014 Van would recommend this product to a friend I have an RO filtration system at home for drinking water. It's a great system but not good enough for tank water IMO so I decided to add this canister. Installation was a breeze - I tee'd off the final output of the RO system to this DI canister and so far, it works great! TDS went from 15-20 to a solid 0 and has remained this for months now. Very happy with it and my fish/corals are having a blast as well. DI By Rich on 3/31/2014 Rich would recommend this product to a friend A great purchase well constructed can be installed in minutes and really removes TDS a must have for the water quality you need in the tank perfect! By matt on 3/5/2014 matt would recommend this product to a friend After my RO unit it was still at 70 TDS. This unit pulled it down to 0 and has made over 100 gallons so far keeping my fish and coral very happy! Works Great. By Red7Xero on 1/21/2014 Red7Xero would recommend this product to a friend My old DI resin was 1 year old and still had an output of 0ppm, I decided to change it out with my carbon and sediment filters. And because I wanted to add another carbon to the mix, I bought this to add another stage and with it including the DI made it an easy purchase. After installing the sediment, 2 carbons, and the new DI units, taking around 10mins, thanks to BRS TV series, it worked like a charm. Thanks again BRS. update on earlier review By Aquaticfan on 1/7/2014 Aquaticfan would recommend this product to a friend I am sad to report that the system can not handle the high TDS still coming from my existing Water softener system. I thought it could but after a 5 gallon fill, the TDS is rising. I will have to get an RO system to connect it too. I still love the product though. Excellent canister By Aquaticfan on 12/18/2013 Aquaticfan would recommend this product to a friend I am so happy with this canister. I had a TDS of 178 before and now its Zero. I currently had a Pelican Water system on the entire house but needed that extra DI stage for the tank. This worked perfectly, I had to go to Home Depot to buy a few more parts to be able to hook it up to the spikit that has filtered water but I am very happy. Would definitely recommend. No more buying water and lugging those 5 gallon jugs. Yippee Perfect upgrade By Marty on 12/11/2013 Marty would recommend this product to a friend Sturdy, high quality canister. Included resin was color changing. Installed quickly and took my 3ppm to 0ppm. Very good upgrade to my current ro system. DI Canister By slvrwolf on 10/14/2013 slvrwolf would recommend this product to a friend This product was extremely easy to install and get going. I also purchased a TDS meter able to show two different readings and it was amazing how much this changed the readings from out of my RO system and out of this DI filter. I live in a city in central Texas and the water is probably one of the worst in the country. This filter truely is amazing! I am sure my aquarium inhabitants are thanking me. worked great By davem on 10/7/2013 davem would recommend this product to a friend Took tds down to zero in no ime flat Well worth the money! By Matt K on 7/15/2013 Matt K would recommend this product to a friend If you've been thinking about getting this DI canister, don't think... just click "Add to Cart". You'l be glad you did. Installation couldn't be easier. The canister is well-made, Top Notch! And it brought my TDS levels to ZERO (my old pass through DI filter was always around 3 TDS). Now I know my water is truly pure. DI canister By Adam on 6/14/2013 Adam would recommend this product to a friend Took me about 20 seconds to get it going. Good stuff Great Quailty By Shawn on 5/30/2013 Shawn would recommend this product to a friend Extremely high quality, easy install Awesome addition to exisiting DI-RO system By Jeffrey on 5/20/2013 Jeffrey would recommend this product to a friend Just installed this on my exisitng 2 stage plug membrane (24GPD). Was getting around 8-9 TDS prior to adding this final stage. Within 5 minutes (about the time it took to fill the new canister, I was reading solid 000 TDS and hasnt wavered since. This is a must have unless you have great water to begin with. Living in the city, this give me peace of mind that my TDS will always be a 000 and my mixed coral reef with be happy as well. love it By Jason on 5/10/2013 Jason would recommend this product to a friend this di canister was just what i needed and at the best price i could find. tds after canister is 0 Excellent Product By STEVEN on 4/3/2013 STEVEN would recommend this product to a friend I upgraded my rodi system with this single di canister and am extremely happy with it. It maybe took about 5 minutes to hang on the wall and hook up to the existing ro unit. I was also happy to see that they filled it with the color changing resin. 0 tds as well. Great Service By George on 3/2/2013 George would recommend this product to a friend Great product works perfect on the ro system on well water after the water softener. Great service too. Ready to go out of the box just PnP By Jeremy on 2/18/2013 Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend One of my RODI units is a cheapy nonBRS model with little horizontal DI stage, bought this to upgrade it, comes with everything you need just stick in your 1/4" tube into the fitting and you're good to go. Single DI canister By ADRIAN on 7/27/2012 ADRIAN would recommend this product to a friend It included everything I needed to add DI to my existing RO system. The included tubing is ok. I prefer the heavier tubing that typically comes with the RO filters although it is perfectly serviceable. Best Value to add the DI Stage By Robert Knasel Reef Tank Adventure on 7/22/2012 Robert Knasel Reef Tank Adventure would recommend this product to a friend This is a great easy to setup option to add to your RO unit to take the purification to the next level. Noticed a significant decrease in TDS numbers. Quality product By Brandon on 7/14/2012 Brandon would recommend this product to a friend My city water tds is 265ppm, after the ro unit it is 6ppm and after this di it is 0. Quality product, super easy to install. easy to use By Brady on 9/29/2011 Brady would recommend this product to a friend This is a great product. Does the job very well and is the value is great. I find it is very easy to change out the DI, thanks to this product Great buy excellent build By Darryl on 7/15/2011 Darryl would recommend this product to a friend Great buy excellent build. Extremely high quality, easy install, adding a second di canister will allow me to ensure that i am maximizing the use of all of my di resin, and that extra polishing of the water is a plus. Great product By Bob on 4/1/2011 Bob would recommend this product to a friend Good quality, super easy install. Bought it to add to existing ro unit for my sw tank and I'm glad I did. Simple and affordable By Mark on 3/26/2011 Mark would recommend this product to a friend I love this simple and affordable tool for providing an extra "polishing" of my RO product water. Simple to install, great for my reef and the color changing media leaves no questions about when it is time to change, lasts a long time as well. Gr By Dave on 1/13/2011 Dave would recommend this product to a friend I bought this to add on to an older RO unit I had. Hooking it up was simple and the canister is built to last. I have looked at other canisters at double the price but this canister is twice as good at half the price. Easy to chage the resin canister and do not have to worry about any leaks which is what I like about all your products. Thumbs up again. Great product... 0 TDS By Tim on 8/13/2010 Tim would recommend this product to a friend Got this canister to replace a small DI filter that came with an older RO/DI system. The old filter was...old and needed to be replaced. This style filter was much more convenient, much larger, holds more media, and just better overall. Straight out of the box, I hooked it up to the RO system and it was reading 0 TDS straight with the first bit of water that came out of the filter. Only The Best By Brandon on 8/9/2010 Brandon would recommend this product to a friend This DI add on uses only the highest quality parts and gets the job done. Excellent value! No need to own any other at double the price. A great add on By Todd on 3/12/2010 Todd would recommend this product to a friend I am very impressed with the quality and the ease of use of this unit. As always Bulk Reef Supply is an incredible company to deal with at a price any Reefer will appreciate. In our hobby it isn't very often that a company is as fair on their prices. I have dealt with several others in the time I have been doing this and no one else comes close.As long as you have what I am looking for I will buy from you over anyone else. Thanks to all of you.

Discs are small circular cushions between the bones in the spine. The bones are called vertebrae. The discs are compressible. They act as cushions for the vertebrae. A herniated disc happens when discs in the spine bulge from their proper place. This is most common in the lower spine.

Herniated discs can occur when discs lose water content, become flatter, and provide less cushioning. It can also occur when the disc is damaged by trauma.
These factors increase your chance of developing a herniated disc:

I have a question for the folks who train in the snow. I'm shopping for wingers now and was wondering if I can use them during the winter months in MN? What is the coldest weather you would use them? Is it ok below freezing?

Coldest I have used mine was around 20. They did not throw as far in the winter as they did in the summer. I have Zinger II's.

I use BB most cold weather. If inside of the bumper gets wet BB will fizzle.

Short answer.... NO
Will they work below freezing - very close to the marginal/cutoff temperature. You'll find the winger may work once or twice but the bands will lose elasticity and fail to contract - they stretch out & just stay there - stretched out & limp... I'm not certain what the cutoff temperature is - I know when it's in the 30's they'll still suffice - I'd guess somewhere around 25 they fall off dramatically & somewhere near or just below there they're unusable.
I train all year and have used my GU SOG in temps down to 15. They dont toss a bird like in summer but they do work.
I was using my wingers last week in WI. They worked OK, but like Mike and scully said they do not throw birds/bumpers as far compared to using them in the warmer weather. The bands just don't have as much loading power in the cold weather.

20 give or take a few degrees is the cutoff for the rubberbands. Pro Controls from Tri Tronics don't work very well at those temps either. Damn lucky to get one to go off at 50 yards at 20 degrees. Most of them won't work at 20 degrees. Hell, some of them won't even work at 45 degrees. Big shock when I realized that.

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

My wingers work fine below zero. Bands are about 7 or so years old.

John 7:16 -- Jesus answered them and said my doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
mark 16:9 -- So then after the lord had spoken unto them,he was received up in heaven, and sat on the right hand of God
I Tim. 2:5 --For there is one God and one mediator between God and man ,, the man Christ Jesus
I use my wingers up here in Alberta, but the cold does have an effect on them. The bands do not have the same elasticity, so they don't throw as far. As well the batteries in the remote releases tend to die pretty quick in the freezing temps.
Thanks, I appreciate the responses.

Indeed, I never was a fan of 'Eternos Palace King Randor', and now that I have the figure in hand, it looks even more lackluster.
Wow...I mean, personally, I like Dekker over this King Randor, as I prefer the Randor we got in Dec. 2009. But, I'm surprised Dekker sold out before Randor. I guess the people who went ballistic for Randor at Comic-Con and Power-Con really don't represent the fan base on a whole maybe. Anyways, good to see a 200X character sell out and let's hope this Filmation variant sells out soon,
Indeed, I never was a fan of 'Eternos Palace King Randor', and now that I have the figure in hand, it looks even more lackluster.
I like the Filmation version and would have gotten it if I didn't already have the first one. I don't need two Randors, so I passed, but it has nothing to do with the design of the figure.
It is spelled "Crita", not "Critta". Misspell her name and Crita will knock the "T" out of you!
Also...get her into the line!

Did I ever grow up? Probably not. I'm sure the day-glo socks gave it away anyway.
I just couldn't justify the expense for Randor. But he has such a sweet goblet

I'm afraid I may not get a Dekker in good shape. Mine was defective, with multiple paint scratches and flaws on his head, face and left arm. I tried for a week to get a replacement with matty CS through email support, but they just kept asking me the same questions over and over. Asking if I opened it and asking me to describe the flaws. They sent me multiple emails of this type. Each time I responded they sent the same questions again. I told them I could provide pictures if that would help! Then I get an email saying they will send me a return label in two business days.
A week later, NOTHING! So I email them again and ask where is the return label. They respond that a resolution has not been made on my case, but it's being treated as high priority and I'll be notified if anything changes.
*** Matty? What other resolution is needed? My figure is defective, so you take it back and send me a new one.
What is the hold up?

Not to be a party pooper or anything, but I am hoping that the slow sales of Filmation Randor will deter ToyGuru from deciding to heap any more Filmation variants of already-released characters upon us. I'm just not terribly interested in the overly simplistic Filmation designs seeping their way on to my action figure shelves more than they already have.

Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
I understand what you are saying, but I have lived almost my entire life waiting for Filmation accurate He-Man and Skeletor figures! (I know it's a long shot, but dang it! I'm gonna keep on hoping!!) Even if these two are the only re-released figures in their Filmation style....
I Love the way Randor turned out (Heck, I bought four of him!) and I am stoked for Fang Man..... so I really don't mind the intrusion of Filmation design, in fact I welcome it!
**Staunch FILMation lover!!! **** MUST have a New Adventures Subscription!!!**
MOTUC NEEDS more TROLLANS !!!
I would prefer we get NEW Filmation characters before we get variants taking up a slot. I already have Skeletor and He-Man...give us Scorpia or others before we get variants of characters we already have.

Grant money awarded for Ceylon Covered Bridge
Last October when grant writer Dave Milligan submitted a grant application on behalf of restoring the Ceylon Covered Bridge, he commented that if the funding came through, it would be the best Christmas present possible for historical southern Adams County.
It appears that Santa Claus was listening as Geneva officials learned on Thursday morning that they have been awarded $397,152 for bridge restoration from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA). Geneva town manager Doug Milligan said that the amount, coupled with matching local funds of $44,128, would allow for $441,280 toward restoration of the bridge.

Westview outlasts AC in overtime
NORTH JUDSON – In a hard-fought effort from shot one, the Westview Warriors, under the direction of former Westview superstar Rob Yoder, took command of Saturday's Class 2A semifinal boys regional basketball game played at North Judson-San Pierre High School.
A packed gym of Westview followers filled the north bleachers of the attractive facility while what appeared to be a good share of the Adams Central school district supported the Flying Jets from the south bleachers.
In the end, Westview grabbed an early lead in overtime play and held on to claim the win, 51-49.
"As is always the case in a game like this, it was one play here, one play there," said Adams Central h...

DAVOS, Switzerland—Former Chinese Communist Party star Bo Xilai could be subject to severe punishment, according to a senior party official, as China's new leaders face increasing public pressure to clamp down on corruption.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Li Jingtian, the executive vice president of China's Central Party School and a former member of the party's powerful Central Committee, said he also saw a role for online social media in holding officials to account.
From the Archives
Bo Xilai: Inside the Scandal - A WSJ Documentary (Originally Aired 6/28/2012)
The fall of Bo Xilai, once a rising star in Chinese politics, has plunged the country into its biggest crisis since Tiananmen Square. In this documentary, The Wall Street Journal examines how his downfall has altered the debate about China's future.
"We have always had severe punishment for corrupt officials," Mr. Li said during the interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday, in response to a question about the fate of Mr. Bo. Such interviews are rare for senior party officials.
Bo Xilai in March, shortly before his ouster. He is awaiting trial. European Pressphoto Agency
He cited the examples of Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, two leaders in the party's early days who were executed in the 1950s following accusations of embezzlement and other crimes in one of the party's first anticorruption campaigns.
The party school, which trains cadres and helps develop the party's ideology, has no role in determining punishment of corrupt officials. But Mr. Li has access to top party leaders, having worked with new party chief Xi Jinping when Mr. Xi headed the school. Until last year Mr. Li, who is near retirement age, was also a member of the Central Committee, a main policy-making body.
Mr. Bo presents one of the biggest tests yet of the new leadership's efforts to tamp down on corruption. Mr. Bo is the son of a legendary early leader of the Communist Party, Bo Yibo, and was considered a candidate for a powerful national party position.
Mr. Bo was ousted in 2012, accused of a litany of alleged criminal and other offenses, including bribe-taking and abuse of power. His wife, Gu Kailai, was convicted in August of killing a British businessman in 2011 in the southwestern city of Chongqing, where Mr. Bo was then party chief.
Mr. Bo is currently awaiting trial. He hasn't commented on the accusations against him in the past and isn't reachable. Harsh punishment would signal a tough stance against corruption. New leaders installed in November have publicly worried that graft threatens the party's hold on power. At the same time, throwing the book at a senior official with a familiar name could leave the perception that other top leaders are vulnerable.
Mr. Li's comments don't mean Mr. Bo is likely to face execution if found guilty. While he cited the case of another execution—that of Cheng Kejie, a former top legislator who was executed in 2000—he also cited the case of Chen Xitong, a former party chief of Beijing convicted on corruption charges in 1998 but released from prison on medical parole in 2006. He also named Chen Liangyu, the former party secretary of Shanghai who was dismissed in 2006 and later sentenced to 18 years in prison on corruption charges.
Mr. Li said China's vibrant online social media sphere has played a positive role in combating corruption, and added, "To fight against corruption we need to strengthen supervision" within the party and from society and the media.
Mr. Bo's downfall early last year sparked furious discussion on China's social media, which often serve as a forum for public debate in a country where television and newspapers are tightly controlled. Platforms such as Sina Corp.'s SINA -0.73% Sina Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq $38.33 -0.28 -0.73% Dec. 29, 2014 11:18 am Volume (Delayed 15m) : 126,906 P/E Ratio 15.46 Market Cap $2.55 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee $107,578 11/20/14 China Welcomes Foreign Interne... 11/13/14 Chinese Internet Firm Sina Pos... 11/03/14 Chinese Censors Loom Over Fore... More quote details and news » Weibo microblogging service have played direct roles in the ouster of lower-level officials caught with their hands in the till.
Social media still face scrutiny from an army of censors and officials have worried about their role in spreading rumors. Authorities clamped down on Weibo last spring when discussion of Mr. Bo's ouster developed into rumors of a potential coup. Since then, the government has renewed efforts to tie anonymous accounts to the identities of users and required Internet firms to take tougher steps to weed out unwanted content.
Mr. Li also responded to a question on his experience working with Mr. Xi, who is widely expected to succeed Hu Jintao as president in March. "He doesn't offer empty words. He fights against formalism. That has already changed the government's work style," he said. His comments echo Mr. Xi's portrayal in state media as a plain-spoken leader less concerned with ceremony.

A needle biopsy of the lung or pleura is done to remove a sample of lung or pleural tissue, or fluid. Pleura is the lining of the lungs and chest wall. Once the tissue is removed, it will be examined in a lab.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is used to diagnose abnormal tissue in or around the lung. Possible reasons for abnormal tissue are:
- Noncancerous tumors
- Cancer
- Lung tissue scarring
- Pneumonia
- Other infections (eg, tuberculosis or histoplasmosis)
- Abnormal blood vessels in the lung
- As a consequence of certain systemic diseases (eg, rheumatoid arthritis , sarcoidosis , or Wegener's granulomatosis )
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a needle biopsy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Collapsed lung
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Damage to the liver or spleen
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- Obesity
Make sure to tell your doctor if you are pregnant.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may order:
- A complete physical exam
- Blood tests
- Images of the chest and lungs maybe taken with
Leading up to your procedure, do not start taking any new medicines without consulting your doctor.
You may be given pre-procedure medicines for certain conditions (eg, to suppress a cough).
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners, such as clopidogrel or warfarin
- You may receive a mild sedative about an hour before the procedure. It will help you relax.
- You may also have an injection of a local anesthetic. It will numb the area where the needle will be inserted.
Description of the Procedure
Your skin will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution. You will be in a seated position, leaning forward, with your arms resting on a table for support. You should remain as still as possible. An ultrasound or CT scan will be used to locate the exact area.
A small cut will be made in your skin. Then, while you hold your breath, the biopsy needle will be inserted through the cut. The needle will be passed between your ribs until it reaches the lung or pleura. Your doctor then withdraws some cells through the biopsy needle. The needle will be withdrawn. Pressure will be put on the site of the incision. When the bleeding stops, a bandage will be applied.
How Long Will It Take?
Between 30-60 minutes
How Much Will It Hurt?
- Before the procedure, when the local anesthetic is injected, you may feel a brief sting.
- During the procedure, when the needle is inserted, you will probably feel some pressure. If you are having a lung biopsy, you will feel a quick, sharp pain when the needle touches your lung.
Post-procedure Care
- You will rest for several hours after the procedure. A nurse will check on you and monitor your recovery.
- A few hours after the procedure, a chest x-ray or other imaging technique may be done. This is done to make sure a lung has not collapsed and that there is no bleeding.
- If there are no complications after four hours, you may go home.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Rest at home for a day or two.
- Avoid strenuous activities for one week.
- You may remove the bandage after a day or two.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Ask your doctor when to expect the results of the biopsy.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- Pain when taking a deep breath
- You feel your heart rate is fast
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

'My Writings Have Freed Me' Local poet Michael Smith celebrates beauty, soothes others
Thursday, January 10, 2013
SANFORD — If the newly minted City of Sanford is looking for its own resident poet — a writer who could take the right lyrical approach to a wide range of community developments — the search very well could begin and end with State Street resident Michael Smith.
"Pete was seen by many, where he loved to be; a place where he felt safe, a place where he felt free," he wrote of the stray dog that had picked the office as his home for more than ten years.
But Smith does not only write about loss. He writes tributes to the people in his life, including his wife, Debbie, and local coaches, and he creates poems about various places and issues in the community. For example, he has written a poem about Number One Pond, his favorite spot in the city. He particularly appreciates the new retaining wall around part of the pond, and he often daydreams about helping the city complete it if ever he comes into money.
Smith has been writing his poems since he was twenty years old, back in 1984. He had been experiencing a rough patch in his life, namely his feelings of prolonged grief and anguish over losing his father at such a young age. He felt that his mother, Barbara, did a wonderful job raising him and his siblings with strong core values, but he could feel himself straying from such teachings. He prayed and asked God to help him, to send him something to help him turn his life around.
Smith encourages others who might be struggling with life to do as he did, and find their passion.

Charlie Sivuarapik
Canadian, 1911–1968
Man Carrying a Caribou, c. 1954
stone, bone, sinew
17.8 x 15.2 x 24.1 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Bessie Bulman Collection; Gift of the heirs of the Bessie Bulman Estate
In the late 1950s Charlie Sivuarapik was the most recognized artist from Puvirnituq. He was the subject of articles that appeared in The Beaver magazine in 1956 and in Canadian Geographic Journal in 1960. That same year his meticulously detailed carvings brought him the distinction of being elected to the Sculptors Society of Canada, and he subsequently placed the letters S.S.C. with his signature on his most notable carvings. By the 1950s works such as Man Carrying Caribou confirmed Sivuarapik's artistic and technical prowess as a sculptor. Human figures are in motion and interact realistically with the animals being hunted. The 16 carvings by Sivuarapik in the WAG collection exhibit no repetition of subject matter and the workmanship is of consistently high quality.
