Honoring Mandela — Detroit style
The fight against South African apartheid brought together activists across the globe. Dr. Charles G. Adams, pastor of Hartford Memorial Baptists Church, was one of the Detroit's most strident opponents of apartheid. On Feb. 9, he will be the keynote speaker at "Praise Song for Mandela," a celebration of the life of the South African freedom fighter and statesman at Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit, presented by the museum in conjunction with the of Delta Sigma Theta Inkster Alumnae Chapter.
"Though 'Praise Song for Mandela' had been planned now for several months, his passing in December makes its timing that much more poignant," said Juanita Moore, President and CEO of the Wright Museum. "President Mandela's life was an example for us all, and it's most fitting that we honor him this Black History Month."
DSTIAC President Soraya Williams Farver is excited to showcase the role Detroit and Detroiters played in the struggle. "It's very important for us to remember that it took the work and sacrifices of people throughout the world to end apartheid," Farver said. "Detroit's activists were especially critical to that effort and we want to make sure they get their due."
In addition to Dr. Adams' words, poets Gloria House and jessica Care moore and the Detroit School of Arts' Boys Choir will sing Mandela's praises with a decidedly Detroit accent. Care moore is hoping to write a new piece about Mandela to perform at the event. "Mandela's life work inspired the student rebellions across the country, and the struggle for African studies departments and basic human rights for Black people," Care moore told the Michigan Citizen. "Detroit has always been at the center of global movements for the oppressed and working class. (Mandela) inspired me when he came to Tiger Stadium. I was there; I was proud."
Additionally, the event will applaud the contributions of 10 Detroit anti-apartheid leaders: Dr. Adams, Margaret Baylor, Akua Budu-Watkins, Dr. Gloria House, The Hon. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, Shahida Mausi, Christine Root, The Hon. Audley Kano Smith, The Hon. Virgil Smith and Dr. David Wiley.
Tickets for the event are $15 and are available for purchase at the Wright Museum, by phone at 800.838.3006 or online at TheWright.org. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Adelaide Tambo School for the Disabled in Soweto, South Africa.

We loved the hidden factor of being tucked away in the forest near Cypress Creek. We felt very close to nature with wild birds and deer on the property. The accommodations were perfect and were very thankful the gas fireplace warmed our suite up very quickly due to the cold weather. We plan to be back to Creekhaven Inn next Spring so that we can take advantage of the hiking trails, kayaking, and great outside fireplaces to sit around enjoy ourselves. George and Becky Cypress, TX

You cannot go wrong with Creekhaven Inn. I know it's hard to imagine what a place will really look like from pictures on the internet, which can be scary, but Creekhaven was better than the pictures! Wonderful people, service, food, and location. A great stay any time of the year.

Creekhaven in exceeded my expectations on just about all levels. The place was immaculate, the house was beautiful, and the room we stayed in was so nice. Even though there were other people in the house, you really couldn't even tell. I will recommend to anyone staying in Wimberley.

This place is perfect for a weekend to get away and relax. The rooms are nice, but need a little updating.

We were looking for a weekend of fun and relaxation and found it at Creekhaven Inn. Bill met us at the door and showed us around the property before taking us to our room. Even though the B&B was in the middle of Wimberly it was very quiet and secluded with a beautiful creek running through it. Stay was thoroughly enjoyable.

Checking into the Wild Honeysuckle room at the Creekhaven Inn marked the beginning of a four day relaxation period within a very hectic months long schedule. Bill met us upon arrival, provided a courteous tour of the amenities and left us to decant. Arriving early afternoon on the Friday allowed us to view the other rooms within the property with them all being beautifully presented and well maintained. The Inn is nestled within a riverside Cyprus stand (one tree noted as being estimated as ~1000 years old) with wading pools and easy access to the many walking trails locally. A casual 7min stroll sees us at the town square enjoying the unpressurized and quaint atmosphere of the many retailers of old world charm. We enjoyed our stay and will be returning. You may note my 3 star grades - it is of course a Luxury inn, and certainly attained my expectations...

Like the old TV comedy Cheers, did you ever want to go where everyone knew your name. Bill and Pat furnish this sort of atmosphere at Creekhaven Inn. The care and attention of guests show they know what they are doing. It is the gift of hospitality. My wife and I greatly appreciated the time away from our daily routine and entering into a time where we did not need to worry about tomorrow. Let tomorrow worry about itself. No small feat. Thank you Bill and Pat.

The room was extremely nice and the grounds were well kept, private, and peaceful. The breakfast selections and quality were a little lacking for a B&B of this caliber and as trivial as it may sound, one would expect a higher quality toilet paper. This stuff was something you would expect in a Russian B&B, not a fine establishment like this in Wimberly, Texas. Don't get me wrong, this is a very nice B&B....the only thing keeping it from being a top notch B&B is attention to the minor details that will set it apart.

Wish we would have had more time to have enjoyed the property and the creek activities.

The owners are welcoming and attentive when you need them to be. The breakfast is excellent, and the people who work there are friendly, helpful and invisible most of the time. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and very enjoyable. My daughter and I visited this past week, and my husband and I are going to stay there next month. You will enjoy your stay in this natural setting where deer wander through in the evenings and the water is clear and lovely.

We love this B&B! This was our second trip to Creekhaven Inn. The grounds are beautiful. The rooms are quiet. The whole place exudes an air of tranquil seclusion all while being located surprisingly close to all there is to do in and around Wimberly!

Creekhaven Inn was a nice surprise when my wife & I pulled up & perfectly named. I had not told her where we were going and pulled up there like we were lost. My wife's expression when I told her this was the placed told me she was surprised & thrilled. Bill & Pat were pleasant, very accommodating and very professional. The community space offered a nice kitchen area, game room & dvd library. The setting is Hill Country perfect; towering cyprus trees with the Cyrprus creek running thru; meeting our desire for clear water access. It was a short walk to the Blue Hole. Our room impressed my wife; it had a bird's eye view; thus named Bird of Paradise, decorated in purple tones. Very nice. My wife commented that the Inn Keepers had thought of everything, including "makeup" towels, USB ports to charge your phones, jet tub, paper for lighting the fire at fire pit, etc... We passed deer whether we walked or drove the historic Mill Race Lane, which has a historical marker and was dug to float logs down stream. We loved it and hope to return.

Crrekhaven is all as described and more! Cypress Creek was beautiful and a great place to take a nap, read a book or kayak watching the turtles and fish, as well as a pair of rock squirrels hanging out on one of the beautiful Cypress trees along the banks of Cypress Creek. Access to hiking trails at Blue Hole Park was very nice taking you throuogh the beautiful hill country. Watching deer near Creekhaven was also enjoyable. And we especially enjoyed dinning at Wimberley Square at the various cafes where the atomosphere was a very nice change from the city brand restaurants.

My husband and I went to Creekhaven for a relaxing few days. We could not have made a better choice of places to stay. Our room was very comfortable and the location beside Cypress Creek was secluded and peaceful. Breakfast was fabulous and we loved visiting with the other guests while we ate. We spent every afternoon somewhere on the property just relaxing in a hammock, in recliners on the deck or in chairs down by the creek. Even though the temperatures were in the high 80's it was cool and breezy on the property. The only disappointing factor was that the people who were in the room beside ours were smokers and were constantly sitting on the deck in front of their room where the smoke floated right across our deck chairs and room door. We could not sit out there at all because of the smoke and had to hold our breath every time we entered or left our room.

A surprise long weekend getaway for my wife and I. Huge chocolate covered strawberries and champaign waiting for us on arrival and Bill did a superb job of making us feel special and warmly welcomed. Our room was perfect and wonderfully clean. The Inn's location on Cypress Creek is almost too perfect to believe - beautiful, secluded and peaceful - but close to all the fun things to do in and around Wimberley. It was quite amazing, too, that even though the Inn was full on Friday and Saturday there are so many little nooks and sitting areas around the property and on the creek that we still felt that we had the place to ourselves. Breakfast was terrific, escpecially Bill's French Toast on Sunday morning. Bill and Pat are gifted Innkeepers with a beautiful location. Can't wait to go back!

The stay was 2 nights at the end of Spring Break and this was the perfect place away from the wild beach crowds. The property was a beautiful representation of the Texas Hill Country and within walking distance of "Downtown" Wimberly. Bill and Pat were very gracious in addition to being very knowledgeable of the great things to see and do in the area. the rooms were just the right size to stay cozy and comfortable. Plenty of sitting areas around the main house to sit for breakfast wheather indoors or out! We will definitely come back and may bring other siblings and their spouces to enjoy the experience!

Was a very nice place, very relaxing, beautiful scenery. Room was very clean and well laid out. Good selection of movies to watch. Plenty of activities to do. Close to plenty of restaurants and the grocery store. The only criticism I have is with the breakfast. They had a freshly made quiche, but that was the only hot item. Everything else was standard hotel fare (cold cereal, yogurt, etc). For $225/night, I expected more hot foods (biscuits & gravy, bacon/sausage, etc). Breakfast selection aside, my wife and I enjoyed our time there and plan on returning again.

I booked a room at the Creekhaven Inn the weekend of May 21st, for our 7th anniversary. The grounds were so peaceful and quiet, it seemed like we were in a library! Bill and Pat ( the owners) were there to greet us, and everything was set, even though I had handled the reservations through the internet with a single key stroke. I had flowers delived to the Inn, and Bill was even so kind as to arrange them for me and had them placed in the room, to surprise my wife. Make sure you don't sleep in, for the breakfasts are to die for. We even had a hummingbird sitting on it's nest about 5' from our deck that we could watch every evening. We also found Linda's Restaurant just down the road to be fun, with excellent food and entertainment, and our stay at Creekhaven had to be one of the most peaceful and relaxing stays we could remember.

This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay, very peaceful and serene. The grounds were the best ever with trees, shade, creek, kayaking, wading, hot tub, or a hammock to swing and do nothing. Very quiet surroundings with a few small bird chirps that were just enough to add to the natural surroundings! There is plenty to do or nothing to do in your room, on the grounds, around town or in a quiet lobby with books, games, local interest information, and comfy chairs. The rooms have an ambiance that enhances the solitude, but it isn't lonely feeling. With the excellent furnishings and fantastically comfortable beds it is obvious that the guest is paramount. Breakfast were excellent, filling and diverse, a great start to the day. Bill and Pat make you feel special, but there is no hovering or neglect, you can get all you need from a stay at this breathtaking spot. Anne W-R, Oceanside, CA

Totally impressed! First time at this B&B for my wives birthday. Bill and Pat were awesome as owners and hosts. Room was fantastic and very quiet. After looking at the before pictures when they took over and what is currently available is totally different. They put in a lot of funds to make it over and all their funds were beneficial. Morning breakfast was real treat for us as they were able to come up with something different just about every morning. Great conversations every day with Bill and Pat, as well as the other residents. Bill and Pat made us feel like "long lost" friends from the first day. Would go back anytime!

We chose Creekhaven for a very special birthday celebration and we were so happy with our experience. Bill and Pat made us feel very welcome not only on the grounds of Creekhaven, but they were also great ambassadors for the town of Wimberley as we enjoyed the music and atmosphere of that wonderful spot in the heart of Texas. We could not have asked for any better. Truly a restful and rewarding weekend. We look forward to returning soon.

Creekhaven was a place of beauty and peace the minute we drove down the gravel road to the site which was completely surrounded by very tall cypress trees. Each room had an outside deck with cushion chairs with a veiw of the trees, garden, and creek. The sound of water falling off rocks was heard from each corner of the premisses. Each room and outdoor area at the Creekhaven Inn was designed with such attention to detail and with a focus on total comfort. It was not at all like being at home because there was no sight of clutter, laundry to fold, or phone calls to take. It was more like being in a story book where everyone was away from their day to day hustle and the whole world stopped for the moment so family could share deep toughts and also the simple joys together. I would recommend creekhaven to anyone. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality Pat and Bill!

My husband and I spent the weekend at the Creekhaven Inn for the first time a few weeks ago. What a wonderful getaway! We went to Wimberley to attend Market Days, but could have spent the weekend just relaxing at this B & B. The owners were out of town, but they had a friend working there during our weekend, and she could not have been more wonderful! Denise was attentive and friendly, and also very knowledgeable about the area. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable, and at $150 a night we also had a wonderful full breakfast both Saturday and Sunday. Also available at the Inn are books, DVD's, games, complimentary wine at night, and a hot tub. Even better are the beautiful surroundings- Cypress Creek is literally right outside the back door, and there are hammocks and and a large deck with comfy chairs to lounge on. The town square with antique shops and restaurants is a few minutes away by car, and easy to get to. If you are looking to get away from it all and experience the historic charm of Wimberley, The Creekhaven Inn is highly recommended!

Creekhaven Inn was our first experience at a B&B, and we must admit, they have set the bar extremely high, hence making it very difficult to consider visiting another B&B. The rooms were beautifully decorated, very clean and spacious. We stayed in the Wild Honeysuckle Room and loved it. The jetted tub in the center of the room along with the private balcony increased our love for this room. The view from the room was magnificent as well. The weather was perfect for our stroll along the creek & the neighbor's goat loved my husband. Bill & Pat were extremely hospitable and the breakfast was amazing. A return is definitely in our future. Kyemba & Alisha McMillian

After being cut off from wine at a vineyard late sat. night, Bill came and drove to the vineyard to pick us up. He has children who he's asked not to drink and drive, and did not want anything bad to happen to his guests. (sorta sounds surreal). The story gets better. Bill the owner upon arrival insured that all our needs were taken care of. The drive in to the b and b was spectacular and serene. Bill truly cared about our stay in his place. He then took us to our room, turned on the fireplace and showed us where the hot tub was. (a a single guy with an attractive date you can see I am really liking Bill at this point.) I normally stay during my travels at the Ritz Carlton chain. My stay here was of Ritz Carlton caliber with the Waltons feel. The grounds were relaxing, but the one amazing surprise about the place was the people that we met at his bed and breakfast. The breakfast part was amazing as well. He served caramelized french toast apple sausage and many other items. The others staying at his lodge were extraordinarily intelligent and friendly. We met people that I feel I may know for life, and I am a private person in nature. I will be back.

We've been going to Creekhaven from the time they opened. The Innkeepers Pat and Bill Appleman always have the place pristine and never fail to help you find the latest and best places to eat and have fun. I can vouch for this because we've stayed there somewhere around 27 or 28 times. Larry & Ann

My husband and I stayed at the Creekhaven Inn for an anniversary getaway, and couldn't have been happier with our stay. Bill was super friendly and accommodating - He even made a special gluten-free breakfast for me. The common area had a fire going and felt very warm and homey, and we loved our suite (Tree House suite). There were electric candles on the bedside tables and an Ipod docking stereo, along with a large shower and a huge jetted tub. There was also a wooden luxury version of Monopoly in the living area of our suite - a touch that we didn't expect, but definitely took advantage of. We'd love to go back when it's warm so we can take advantage of all of the creekside activities (canoes, kayaks, etc). We're so glad we found this B&B and will definitely recommend it to our friends and family.

If you are in the Wimberley area, stay at Creekhaven Inn. I stayed there several times while in the process of buying a house. It's a wonderful place to stay for a day or several days. I've stayed in several rooms and have been happy with each one. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are roomy and the owners are a delight to get to know. Going to Creekhaven is like going to a country inn to see old friends. Pat and Bill make everyone feel welcome. Their breakfasts are delicious. I hope you consider this place to stay. You won't regret it. It's very close to the main part of the city but down a quiet road complete with deer, so when you are there it's as if you're in the country.

OUr travel angels led us to this beautiful b&b in the Hill Country and we loved our stay there, inspite of the rain. Being from Germany, we got to experience true Texas hospitality.
4,8 sur juillet 29, 2009
This lovely place tucked away in the Texas Hill Country was absolutely wonderful. Had great dining, shopping, sight-seeing, and water activities close by. Would definitely go back. The people running the place were excellent. We loved it!

I spendt 3 fun filled nights at Creekhaven with 7 longtime friends, who came from 3 states. There were numerous and varied activities in the surrounding area so everyone could easily find something of interest. At the inn we enjoyed visiting, remembering our younger days, and listening to sounds of nature while sitting outside by the creek. The breakfasts were outstanding. Also Bill and Pat were eager to accommodate our needs; breakfast was even served earlier for those of us who had early flights in Austin. All in all, it was a perfect place for our get-together.
4,6 sur février 19, 2009
Thsi was the second time to visit Bill and Pat's paradise. One of our favorite activities is the wine tasting reception they hold upon your arrival on Friday evening. It allows you to meet the other guests and get ideas on how to spend your weekend. It's extremely well cared for, tranquil surroundings and great service. We will make this a frequent get away!

I have stay at the Creekhaven Inn a number of times and each time I find more to see and places to relax away the day. The rooms are always gright and cheerful Bill and Pat are great Inn keepers
4,0 sur février 11, 2009
I have stayed at Creekhaven Inn twice now, once in the cozy and colorful Cherokee Rose in the Garden House and most recently in the spacious and restful Bluebonnet Room in the Main House. These rooms are meant to be enjoyed. I like going there in the off season, mid week, when I can really appreciate the immediate surroundings. The quiet peacefulness is inspiring and relaxing. I give this experience a 10.
5 sur février 10, 2009
My family stayed at the Creekhaven B&B in Wimberley, TX and had a great time. The location is great, the grounds along the Cypress River are very peaceful and the Inn itself is very clean and fresh. Excellent breakfast in the morning. We will go back another day!
5 sur septembre 04, 2008
The owners were very friendly, talkative, and open sharing their establishment and wisdom. The property is breath taking, the rooms are superb, the relaxation and calmness of the location and surrounding was remarkable. Words can't express all that "Creekhaven Inn" has to offer, you have to see it for yourself. Rob&Janice

Familial hypercholesterolemia
What are the signs and symptoms of familial hypercholesterolemia?
How is familial hypercholesterolemia inherited?
How might familial hypercholesterolemia be treated?
What is familial hypercholesterolemia?
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited condition that causes abnormally high levels of LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol beginning at birth. When too much LDL cholesterol is present in the blood stream, it builds up in the walls of the arteries and increases the risk of heart attacks and heart disease. Men with FH may have heart attacks in their 40s to 50s, and women with FH may have them in their 50s to 60s.[1] FH is most commonly caused by mutations in the LDLR gene and is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. More rarely, it may be caused by mutations in other genes and can be inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.[2] Treatment focuses on lowering LDL cholesterol levels in the blood and may include dietary modification and medication.[1]
What are the signs and symptoms of familial hypercholesterolemia?
Signs and symptoms in individuals with the autosomal dominant form of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), also called the heterozygous form, may include:[3]
- Elevated total and LDL cholesterol levels
- Coronary heart disease which can cause angina (heart pain), nonfatal or fatal heart attacks, need for angioplasty, or sudden death
- Cerebrovascular disease which may cause stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
- Peripheral vascular disease which may cause pain when walking that is relieved by rest
- Aortic aneurysm that may rupture, causing catastrophic bleeding and often death
- Xanthomas (firm nodules under the skin caused by deposition of cholesterol on tendons)
- Corneal arcus (an opaque, white line within the margin of the cornea that is above or surrounds the cornea)
- Xanthelasmas (cholesterol deposits on, above or under the eyelids)
Men who have FH may have heart attacks in their 40s to 50s, and 85% of men with the disorder have a heart attack by age 60. Affected women may have heart attacks in their 50s and 60s.[1]
Individuals with the rare, autosomal recessive form of FH (also called homozygous FH) develop xanthomas beneath the skin over their elbows, knees and buttocks as well as in the tendons at a very early age, sometime in infancy.[1] In individuals with this form of FH, heart attacks and/or death may occur before age 30, sometimes in young children if they are not aggressively treated.[1][3]
How is familial hypercholesterolemia inherited?
More rarely, familial FH may be inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. This occurs when an individual inherits a mutated copy of the gene from both parents (this is also called homozygous FH). This is a much more severe form of FH. An individual with this form of FH will always pass on a mutated copy of the gene, and therefore each of his/her children will have heterozygous FH.[1]
How might familial hypercholesterolemia be treated?
Drug therapy is also often necessary lifestyle changes may not be enough to lower cholesterol levels. Several different cholesterol-lowering medications may be used alone or in combination; they may include statins, bile acid sequestrants, ezetemibe, niacin, gemfibrozil, and fenofibrate.
Individuals with the more severe, homozygous form of FH (also called the autosomal recessive form) need more aggressive therapies to treat their significantly elevated levels of cholesterol. Drug therapy is often not effective enough at lowering LDL cholesterol levels. Therefore, individuals with this form may need periodical LDL apheresis, a procedure that removes LDL from the blood. In some cases, major surgery such as a liver transplant is necessary.[4]

In the Engage for Change survey conducted in the late 2013, AmCham member companies have pointed out the importance of the practical skills and modern education as one of the preconditions for job creation. For that particular reason, AmCham Board has decided to establish a long term support program with Petnica Science Center.
Petnica Science Center is an independent and nonprofit organization for extracurricular, formal and informal science. Since 1982, Petnica has organized more than 2,500 programs for almost 50,000 students and science teachers, in more than 15 disciplines. Every year the Petnica Science Center, welcomes up to 2,500 talented students and experts in various fields from both Serbia and abroad, providing them them with an opportunity to learn a different approach to scientific research.
This leading independent education system, not only in the region but also in Europe, is a true brand of modern Serbia that nurtures the real values of modern workforce – innovation, creativity, out of the box thinking and problem solving through its numerous programs in natural sciences and humanities. However, Petnica struggles to raise support, financial and in kind assistance, to ensure its sustainable existence.
Many AmCham members have already provided substantial support to Petnica, thus recognizing it as a true center of educational excellence. Now, it is time to make each individual assistance more valuable by becoming a part of the grand Petnica Support Program.
To get the first hand sense of the significance of the Petnica Science Center and concrete ideas on ways your company can make a difference, follow updates on this page.
As a company championing innovativeness and scientific research approach, NIS has for five consecutive years been financially sponsoring the activities of Petnica Research Centre, given its importance for the development of the culture of scientific literacy, education in Serbia, as well as of the promotion of science among young people.
Hemofarm has once again demonstrated true corporate values by deciding to join AmCham's Petnica Support Program and kindly provide a number of laboratory supplies for Petnica Science Center
In February 2014, Microsoft donated licenses for software and programs to Petnica SC, in the value of USD 313,000!
On June 4, representatives of AmCham Serbia, its member companies and U.S. Embassy visited Petnica Research Center and launched long term cooperation between AmCham and this unique and precious educational institution.

Cheap feel of material
By CHRIS
from SAANICHTON
These are cheap looking and material is thin. OK for summer patio wear but not anywhere else. The Showstopper tunic top is no longer on line to write about. So beware of washing it with anything else as it bleeds very badly. Not even sure when I wash it again would I wash it with anything else. I would not order from this line again.

Weight loss surgery helps severely obese people lose more weight than diet and exercise
A new study finds that severely obese people who undergo weight loss surgery typically lose about 45 to 65 pounds and maintain their lower weight for 10 years or longer. A related study reports that weight loss drugs promote moderate weight loss when prescribed along with recommendations for dieting and exercise among patients who are less severely overweight.

Good Afternoon - - hope you haven't missed me too much
The Boss and I are just home from a fabulous double trip up to Twisleton Scar - a flippin' long walk, which we did both yesterday afternoon and again this morning!
However, I have to say it was well worth the trip on both occasions - particularly this morning - getting up with that haul up to the top was a tad of a challenge!
We had spent a bit of time yesterday locating "Mel's Rock", so were able to head straight there for sunrise. No snow, and the light disappeared VERY quickly behind a bank of cloud, but what we got was a wee bit nice! (Well, I thought so, hope you do too)
A quick couple of thank-yous - - firstly to MrS for suggesting and organising the overnight stay - - had a brill time!! and also to Beth, who actually prevented me getting frostbite by giving me a super little hand-warmer for Christmas - - worked a treat
Anyway, enough of the "Oscar" speech - - but my final thank you is to you, dear viewer, for spending a little of your precious Sunday here - - hope the rest of it is great!!
Cheers All!

By deadline yesterday, I had managed to speak with two of the four local athletes that I knew ran in the Boston Marathon; and contacted the relative of a third.
But for a fourth runner, Laurie Petty of Friendswood, the best I could do was talk to a family friend who said she had spoken with Petty's husband who had only reached his wife by cell phone. She was unharmed, I was told, but still separated from her family somewhere in the streets of Boston.

GREENSBORO — The recent round of snow and winter weather forced area schools to cancel classes for several days.
Guilford County school officials recently announced students will make up missed days on April 18 and April 19. They said since the calendar is created at least a year in advance, they have little room to make alterations. Mandates from the state level that dictate how long and when students need be in school further complicate the situation.
School officials received input from community members, teachers, and parents before the final calendar is set.
"[Taking away from vacation] is always very frustrating and not something you like to do, but on the same token you don't want to have to put all of your instructional days or makeup days at the end of the school year; when it is past state tests and you are losing instructional time. That makes no sense from an educational perspective either," said Nora Carr, with Guilford County Schools.
While school officials have considered Saturdays as an option for school make-up days, it is cost prohibitive and creates religious conflicts.

This is a very thorough and extensive 37 page website about allopathic, holistic and integrative veterinary, cat/dog nutrition and what Big Pharma, bad veterinarians and pet food companies who make very low-quality pet foods don't or won't tell you. It will always be a work in progress. The site is sometimes intentionally provocative & outspoken in order to disturb the status quo, which needs to be educated and must be changed! All of the information on this website is fact and has been extensively researched, sourced and documented and is extremely well received by both good veterinarians and pet parents, having had over 488,000 hits in a single day!
Vets & Their Poor Knowledge of Cat & Dog Nutrition
If your vet recommends pet foods such as Hill's Prescription Diet, Purina, Pedigree, Iams, Eukanuba, Royal Canin, Science Diet, etc. run away
Roger Biduk Talks About Vet's Poor Knowledge of Cat and Dog Nutrition
May 21st
Posted by admin in Vets & Their Poor Knowledge of Cat & Dog Nutrition
No More Vet Bills!
Why I'm ashamed to be a vet: A shocking exposé of the profession!
Why Your Veterinarian Cannot Afford to Always Tell You the Truth!
Eight Questions to Ask EVERY Vet!
Kickbacks From Pet Food Companies to Veterinarians
Roger Biduk was horrified to learn years ago that most allopathic veterinarians know almost nothing about cat or dog nutrition but are quick to recommend and sell pet foods ["prescription diets" = big $$$$] such as Hill's Prescription Diets, Purina Veterinary Diets, Science Diet, Royal Canin Veterinary Care Nutrition, Royal Canin Veterinary Therapeutic Formulas, Iams Veterinary Formulas, Eukanuba Veterinary Diets, etc. which often contain horrible ingredients with little or no meat, are often super-high in carbohydrates, super-low in animal protein and have had recalls from FDA for containing poisonous ingredients and Salmonella!
Now, why do you think your vet didn't tell you that when he/she sold you a bag to cure Fluffy/Fido only to realize weeks after that the health problem is still there or has gotten much worse…???
Remember, the ancestral diet that dogs have been thriving on is 49% protein, 42%-44% fat and only 4%-6% carbohydrates (none from grains!).
"This is what I was taught about nutrition in Veterinary School:
I learned NOTHING!
Yet the single most important secret to maintaining health and preventing disease is… NUTRITION!
We were given no formal classes on dog and cat nutrition.
We were told to tell our clients to feed a name brand 'Good Quality' dry food ["prescription diets"] such as Science Diet or Iams.
"The 'funny' thing is that Hills, whichmakes Science Diet [and Hill's Prescription Diet], and the Iams Company both sponsored events at our Veterinary School! We had student Hills and Iams Representatives.
"It was all about the "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" mentality.
"We were taught that it is difficult to make balanced dog and cat food – and that you should never advocate things like making food at home, or feed raw food [remember, healthy cats/dogs mean zero $$$$ for vets and Big Pharma]." Dr. Andrew Jones, DVM
"Though I went to a great veterinary school (University of Missouri) that produced exceptionally well-prepared graduates for clinical practice, the bulk of my nutritional education consisted of a few hours per day for one week!
That's right – a grand total of one week out of four years for a discipline that is now one of the three main pillars of my approach to optimal health for pets!
And that's not the oddest part. Believe it or not, it was taught by a Hill's Pet Food company representative!" Dr. Michele Yasson, DVM
Imagine that: One day or one week of classes out of a four-year program on commercial pet food taught and sponsored by pet food companies (such as Hill's, Purina, Iams, etc.) that supply the vets with the food to sell once they start practicing!
All allopathic eterinarians I know recommend and sell pet foods such as Purina Veterinary Diets, Iams Veterinary Formulas, Hill's Prescription Diets, Science Diet, Eukanuba Veterinary Diets, Royal Canin Veterinary Care Nutrition, Royal Canin Veterinary Therapeutic Formulas and other so-called "prescription diet" foods. If you check the ingredients and guaranteed analysis in these "prescription diets" and read on this web site what these ingredients are doing to the health of your cat or dog, you'll feel sick to your stomach and find it unbelievable… but believe it!
"An alarming fact of life is that vets receive very little worthwhile training in nutrition. No training in the use of raw whole foods and a biased approach to our understanding of commercially produced pet foods. It is relevant to ask what do many veterinarians really know about pet foods? Unfortunately the answer translates as – not very much. Regrettably, a lack of knowledge concerning nutrition has become the basis for recommending processed pet food!" Read more about this here.
Dr. Wendell Belfield, DVM, says "I have been practicing small-animal medicine for more than 25 years. Every day I see the casualties of pet industry propaganda. But the professors in the teaching institutions of veterinary medicine generally support an industry that has little regard for the quality of health in our companion animals." Read more about this and more great info on pet nutrition here.
Dr. Alicia McWatters, Ph.D. says "Did you know that your veterinarian gets almost no education on feeding your canine companion? Most universities provide their students with one day of propaganda hosted by a commercial kibble company that sponsors the university!"
Dr. McWatters goes on to say "Why do some veterinarians misrepresent the benefits of feeding a raw natural diet and promote the practice of feeding an inferior commercial kibble diet ["prescription diet"]? For many it is ignorance, for others it is more calculated!"
Imagine that. One day or one week of classes of a four-year program on commercial pet food sponsored by pet food companies (such as Hill's, Purina, Iams, etc.) that supply the vets with the food to sell once they start practicing! All allopathic veterinarians I know of recommend and sell horrible "prescription diets" such as Purina Veterinary Diets, Iams Veterinary Formulas, Hill's Prescription Diets, Science Diet, Eukanuba Veterinary Diets, Royal Canin Veterinary Care Nutrition or Royal Canin Veterinary Therapeutic Formulas?
If you check the ingredients in these "prescription diets" and read on my webpage what these ingredients will do to the health of your cat or dog, you'll feel sick to your stomach and find it unbelievable….. but believe it!
"What illnesses and diseases leading to premature death do ingredients like grains, corn, wheat, soy, glutens, by-products, meat/beef and bone meal, animal digest, animal fat and other ingredients in pet foods sold in veterinarian clinics and grocery stores contribute to? How about: a weak immune system, cancer, arthritis, obesity, dental and heart disease, dull or unhealthy coats and skin problems, hip dysplasia, eye and ear problems, fleas andother parasites, gum disease, lick granulomas, thyroid imbalances, personality disorders, birth defects, breeding problems, diabetes, chronic renal failure (CRF), urinary crystals, cystitis (bladder inflammation), bladder/kidney stones, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease) and other major and minor illnesses and diseases.
"What happens when you feed your cat/dog a balanced, enzyme-rich raw meat diet or a commercial diet that resembles one? You get a health, happy cat/dog, happy pet parents and no visits to the dreaded veterinarians office for food-related problems", says Roger Biduk.
And let's not forget… there's the kickbacks from these pet food companies to the veterinarians that has become a huge problem. You can read about it here.
Not only do veterinarians make big money selling these pet foods, $40+/26 lb. or 30 lb. bag is the norm, they make much more money treating your animals when they come down with some illness or disease because many of these pet foods contain "questionable" ingredients that don't resemble whatsoever what canines or felines would eat in the wild.
Here's what one of the very best veterinarians in the U.S. has to say regarding the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) recently telling veterinarians to discourage pet owners from feeding raw petfood diets: "Sorry, AVMA, you are all wet on this one. My own raw fed dogs have been healthier for the past 20 years than my clients' dog food eating dogs. Are we veterinarians promoting health or the pet food industry, with all its recalls, Chinese ingredients, and biologically inappropriate diets? And why in the world is AVMA worrying about what perhaps 2.5% of the pet food market does? Surely there are serious problems affecting more pets than this… how about the jerky treats from China that are actually killing dogs, which FDA refuse to order recalled."
Dr. Laurie S. Coger, DVM www.WholisticVet.com
"I've never heard of or know of any cat or dog that's stayed healthy being fed pet foods containing ingredients in "foods" like Science Diet, Hills Prescription Diet, Royal Canin, Purina, Iams, Eukanuba, 'Ol Roy or Pedigree, many of these actually being recommended by veterinarians! Conversely, I've never heard of or know of any cat or dog that's been unhealthy being fed a species-appropriate balanced, enzyme-rich raw meat diet or a commercial diet that resembles one", says Roger Biduk.
