Best Value Private University Kiplinger's Personal Finance named Drury one of the best values in private colleges and universities for 2011-2012. Drury is one of only four private universities from Missouri to make the list. Kiplinger ranked 100 private universities and 100 liberal arts colleges that combine outstanding education with economic value.
Military Friendly School G.I. Jobs, a magazine for military personnel transitioning into civilian life, has awarded Drury the designation of Military Friendly School. The list honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America's military service members and veterans as students. Drury reported an enrollment of 2,094 active duty military personnel, veterans and military dependents for the G.I. Jobs survey, as of May 2011.
Fulbright Scholars Drury was recognized in the Oct. 24, 2011, edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education as a top producer of Fulbright Scholars. Drury was second on the list of Master's Universities, with three Fulbright Scholars from our faculty this year: Erin Kenny (History), Elizabeth Gackstetter Nichols (Spanish) and Jeff VanDenBerg (Political Science).

The United States Green Building Council has awarded LEED Gold certification to the O'Reilly Family Event Center. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Drury earned 42 certification points—exceeding the 39 needed to achieve LEED Gold. Points are awarded for sustainable features in the building, such as: low flow water fixtures, a dedicated recycling area, a solar reflective roof and pavement materials. The following companies helped Drury achieve LEED Gold:
LEED Gold design is also good design, according to the American Buildings Company, which honored Williams Construction with the "2011 Building of the Year" award for the O'Reilly Family Event Center.
Drury conferred degrees to 393 students during Winter Commencement on Saturday, Dec. 17, of which 48 earned master's degrees.
President of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks (CFO), Brian Fogle, was the graduation speaker. Fogle, who was named the 2010 Springfieldian of the Year by the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce, received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters at the ceremony.
"I challenge you today to live deliberately," Fogle told the graduates. "Success comes not from how many friends you've accumulated on Facebook, but how you respond to their hopes, their dreams and their pain. Life, real life, comes not from the digital persona or an avatar, but from the joy of deep connections. Like Thoreau, live a life knowing that you lived, truly lived. Go forth today and love, live and hug often."
Fogle joins a list of notables who have received honorary degrees from Drury since 1906: composers Rodgers and Hammerstein (1949), comedian Bob Hope (1973), Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling (1973), Bob Barker (2007), and former presidential candidate Sen. George McGovern (2008).
A new apartment-style housing complex at the corner of Summit Avenue and Calhoun Street began taking shape this December. The University Suites 72-bed housing complex is scheduled to be complete by August 2012.
University Suites is being constructed to Silver LEED specifications, which include standards for water conservation and energy efficiency. Bryan Properties will construct the housing, which Drury will lease from Bryan Magers for a period of 25 years, after which Drury will own the property. "After reviewing housing surveys from Springfield students, I know what they are looking for most is privacy, security and a sense of community," said Magers. "The University Suites at Drury will offer all of those attributes."
Besides the housing project, Drury will also rehabilitate a house on the property that was once home to early 20th century artist and author Rose O'Neill, who is best known for creating the Kewpie Doll and was a leading illustrator at the turn of the century. O'Neill's great-nephew, David O'Neill, attended the ground breaking. He lived in the house as a young child and shared the home with his great-aunt Rose for a few years before her death in 1944. The home will serve as a community center for students with space for meetings and events.
In October, the Drury community celebrated the dedication of the Kellogg Green Space and Terrace with a ribbon cutting honoring donors Tom and Camille Kellogg. Their generosity funded deconstruction of the vacant Belle and Turner Halls and provided funding for the green space, covered terrace, seating areas and garden spaces where students can enjoy the outdoors.
This spring the green space includes a new outdoor classroom, constructed out of recycled materials including limestone cores from drilling at the OFEC construction site. Benches are made from parapet stones of Belle Hall, which once stood near the site.
Wildflower gardens have also been planted in memory of Todd Parnell's parents, Ben '39 and Jean '42 Parnell. "My dad wasn't a gardener, but he loved flowers late in life," said Todd. Donations to Ben Parnell's memorial fund helped finance the garden and the outdoor classroom. A joint effort of Betty Parnell, Director of Sustainability Wendy Anderson, facilities staff and student volunteers helped bring the memorial garden to life.
The green space is a work in progress, including new fruit trees and a vegetable garden to be planted this spring. Donations will be accepted through the Alumni Office to support this growing effort.
Since the inception of Springfield Business Journal's "Most Influential Women" in 2000, 27 Drury alumnae, faculty and staff have been honored with the annual award. This year, Drury trustee Rita Baron '99 was honored, as was Dianna Maynard Parker '86.
A group of honorees gathered for a luncheon at Drury on Dec. 2 where President Todd Parnell congratulated them. "The first class at Drury was over half women. Drury will always be about gender equity." Parnell added, "You are valued by your community and you are valued by what you contribute to Drury."

Drury's "Fanthers" student athletic spirit group was honored by the NCAA as the Division II national winner of the "Game Environment Award Of Excellence" for 2011, announced at the annual NCAA Convention in Indianapolis.
The NCAA also commended Drury's "Front Row Refs," an energetic group of students who sit courtside wearing referee jerseys and themed outfits.
They join the Drury cheerleaders, poms and pep band to create a fun and entertaining student environment in the O'Reilly Family Event Center for home basketball and volleyball games, as well as DU baseball and soccer home games.
This award, according to the NCAA, "recognizes athletics programs that have displayed a special commitment to creating competition environments that stress civility, cater to the comfort of fans and participants, and are exciting."
President Todd Parnell and his wife, Betty, experienced life as study abroad students while visiting Drury's campus in Greece. The 2011 move to Aigina has put students much closer to the cultural and transportation hub of Athens.
"I went to see the new campus, and I wanted to be able to assure parents who are sending their kids there that it's safe despite the media coverage, and it is," Parnell said.
Parnell and Betty spent several days touring Greece with the students and they engaged in the same course work: taking notes, keeping a journal and making sketches. Parnell was inspired seeing the students at Delphi, and laughed at competing in the 200 meter dash on the original race course at the site of the first Olympics.
Parnell, who studied abroad in London as a Drury undergraduate in 1968, says it is even more important for this generation of students to expand their perspectives. "They're not going to be confined to the Ozarks or the Midwest. Their world will stretch to Aigina and beyond, and Drury can provide students with experiences in those unique and rich venues."
The May 22 tornado that hit Joplin, Mo., claimed 161 victims, but it impacted thousands more people physically and mentally. The goal of the Joplin Impact Project, research conducted by Assistant Professor of Psychology Jennifer Silva Brown and a group of her students, is understanding how these surviving victims deal with the physical, mental and emotional stress of living in the aftermath of the tornado.
Sitting among bundles of clothes and used appliances at Misti's Mission (a clearinghouse for donated goods) in Joplin, Silva Brown and seven undergraduates interviewed and submitted surveys to 89 victims of the tornado. The 100+ question survey determined if the victims were suffering from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder or other stress-related maladies.
"We're trying to distinguish those who are struggling from those who are resilient and healthy," said Silva Brown. "We also look at how survivors coped with the tornado, asking if they turned to such things as exercise, prayer, time with friends and family, or the use of drugs or alcohol. The ultimate goal is to understand which characteristics promote a healthy adjustment to post-disaster life."
Silva Brown is building this Joplin project from research she conducted in Louisiana after hurricanes devastated the Gulf Coast. "What we've learned from the survivors of Katrina and Rita has helped Joplin residents, and the research we're doing in Joplin will help the survivors of the next large-scale disaster. We're constantly learning," said Silva Brown. She hopes the research becomes a teaching tool for post-disaster recovery, which is essential for a community to rebuild.
Out of 25 applicants, seven students were selected to help with the project. For these students, it was a rare undergraduate opportunity to conduct field research. "This project is a wonderful opportunity to help the Joplin community," said student Paige Nichols. "In return, the Joplin community is enhancing my education by giving me a rare opportunity to go out in the field, interview survivors and then see the results."
Drury's Rolla campus moved in to a new 8,100 square-foot facility on August 26, 2011, just in time for the start of classes on Aug. 29. Faculty, staff and even students helped move to the location at 1034 S. Bishop Avenue. The new facility provides space for a student break area, a faculty work and prep area, and a bookstore.
Drury's campus in Monett moved in to a freestanding facility at 400 4th Street in the education building of the United Methodist Church. The facility is equipped with technology and meeting space for students to use when they aren't in class. This space for students to meet, use computers or work on group projects has already led to an increase in enrollment.
The Monett campus also received grants from the Bess Spiva Timmons Foundation ($8,000) and the BNSF Foundation ($8,550), which will be used for the development of a "high technology" classroom, as well as to advance the Monett campus Hispanic Initiative.

'The Big Crowd': Kevin Baker takes on an unsolved mystery, the murder of Kid Twist and the secrets of a fallen mayor
New York City, 1953, the setting for Kevin Baker's The Big Crowd. Photo by Eliot Elisofen, courtesy Life/Google images
BOWERY BOYS BOOK OF THE MONTH Each month I'll pick a book -- either brand new or old, fiction or non-fiction -- that offers an intriguing take on New York City history, something that uses history in a way that's uniquely unconventional or exposes a previously unseen corner of our city's complicated past. You can find some our past selections here and links to purchase them from Amazon at the bottom of this post.
The Big Crowd: A Novel
by Kevin Baker
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
In the fall of 1941, the mob informer Abraham Reles, nicknamed Kid Twist, was being held here, heavily guarded by police officers. Reles had information on dozens of murders, putting away some of Brooklyn's most notorious gangsters.
Next on his list was Albert Anastasia, better known in the press as the leader of Murder Inc. On November 12, Reles plummeted out the window to his death. Was Reles trying to escape? Or was he murdered?
This real life mystery is at the heart of Kevin Baker's new historical novel The Big Crowd, a brassy noir of New York City in the post-LaGuardia era.
Baker is one of the more thrilling historical novelists working today, latching colorfully and with epic flourish into specific New York eras, obsessed with the seedier elements which make the city tick. He is unafraid of embracing real-life characters and emboldened by difficult, abrasive eras. In Paradise Alley, his imagination ran wild through the Civil War Draft Riots. In my favorite Baker novel, Dreamland, gangsters and freaks collide amid famous Coney Island landmarks. He somehow even fits in Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud along the way.
He's written about the life of Kid Twist, too, in Dreamland. But it's his death that sits in the smoldering center of The Big Crowd, exposing the connection between waterfront gangland activity and the upper reaches of New York government, reaching, in fact, all the way to the very top.
While Baker has fictionalized the lives of real-life people in the past (a young Malcolm X being the most ambitious, in his novel Strivers Row), for his latest, he's transformed Mayor William O'Dwyer into Mayor Charlie O'Kane.
While their biographies are nearly the same -- an Irish mayor brought down by scandal -- O'Kane is a lustier, more mysterious figure, escaping America and becoming an almost godlike figure in Mexico City. His brother Tom works for the New York district attorney's office, attempting to clear his brother's name while solving the mystery of Reles' death.
The Big Crowd often feels like an unmade gangster film, its beat cops and waterfront roughs rendered from a world of cinematic grays. At the core is Baker's relentless attention to historical detail, even when it seems impossible to believe, manifesting into occasional weirdness.
For instance, O'Kane's lascivious wife, who incidentally sleeps with his brother, fancies herself a bull-fighter. (O'Dwyer's real wife Sloan Simpson did become a bull-fighter in Mexico.)
Some of my favorite 20th century figures are successfully evoked, including Toots Shor and racketeer Joe Ryan. Robert Moses is glimpsed without apology as a menace; a powerful passage late in the book envisions the wreckage of a demolished Bronx neighborhood, "the cityscape melted into a pile of pure, mindless wreckage."
Like other Baker adventures, The Big Crowd rewards history buffs with dozens of recognizable signposts, but not so many as to seem like an over-researched theme park.
The underlying story of Reles' murder languidly ebbs and flows through the book, unspooling gradually, via interrogations and in few eloquent monologues. (In real life, the mystery was never solved.) But The Big Crowd is the type of book where the distractions are often the most entertaining. Baker has once again created a magnificent alternate New York of exacting, glamorous detail.

I bought Dreamland from the bookshop opposite the SATC cupcake shop nearly four years on my last visit to New York from the UK. I was instantly smitten, I have gone on to purchase Paradise Alley, Strivers Row and Sometimes You See It Coming and have really enjoyed them all. Love the mix of fact and fiction. Can't wait to get my hands on his latest offering. Love your podcasts and blogs from across the Atlantic. Thank You.ReplyDelete

text: miChaeL w. Smith Wonder (Reunion Records) FOR FANS OF: Elton John, Coldplay, old MWS QQQQ After spending the bulk of the past decade gearing his material around praise and worship, the legendary piano man, Michael W. Smith, returns to his radio-ready roots. Consider Wonder an unofficial follow-up to 1999's This Is Your Time as it finds the tunesmith covering contemporary issues (from grief to romance and compassion) flanked in modern production. Surging chords and choruses evoke Coldplay at times, but also find Smitty blending symphonic grandeur with practically perfect pop that fans fell in love with for the first time nearly three decades ago. –Andy Argyrakis WE LIKE: "Take My Breath Away" BeBo norman Ocean (Sparrow) FOR FANS OF: Caedmon's Call, Chris Rice QQQQ Let's be clear from the outset: Ocean is Bebo Norman's finest effort. Now a decade in, the early "aw, shucks" demeanor of the Georgia native has developed into a career built on finely tuned acoustic pop songs encasing lyrics as authentic as any in the industry. Beautiful pop gems like "everything i Hoped You'd Be" and "Here Goes" (co-written by Brandon Heath) along with the understated "The Middle" feature a songwriter in his prime. Ocean explores the deeper waters of faith in the most compelling ways. –Matt Conner WE LIKE: "Everything I Hoped You'd Be" the afterS Light Up the Sky (iNO Records) FOR FANS OF: Tenth Avenue North, One Republic, Remedy Drive QQQ After their success with singles "Never Going Back to OK," as well as prominent placement in shows like "Grey's Anatomy," it would seem the Texas natives are skyrocketing to success. With Light Up the Sky, they shift to a One Republic-esque sound that only emphasizes their cohesiveness. The radio- friendly title track boasts a synthed-up chorus that will likely sidle into more television placements with its polished vocal. "Saving Grace" is another standout, with a beautifully mixed keyboard backing and moving message of hope. Though it is somewhat formulaic in places, the band has crafted a third effort worth listening to over and over again. –Grace S.

With hurricane season right around the corner, now is the time to make sure your home has enough insurance. That can include a type of insurance many of you have never even considered: flood insurance.
You may need it, even if you're not in a flood plain.
You don't have to live near a body of water to be at risk for a flood. Flash flooding can happen anywhere after a big burst of rain.
Consider this: just two inches of water in a home can cause thousands of dollars of damage. If you're not flood insured, those thousands of dollars will come out of your pocket.
You may not think you're at risk, but FEMA says you have a 26 percent chance of being hit by a flood during a 30-year mortgage...compared to a 9 percent chance of fire.
And 25 percent of flood claims are made in low-to-moderate risk communities like the ones in the Augusta area.
Quite simply, flood insurance could be one of the smartest decisions you ever make, and it's not that expensive.
"There are a lot of factors that go into it, but it can be as cheap as $100 to $200 if you're not in a flood zone," said Robbie Moore with Blanchard & Calhoun.
Divided out over a year, you can be paying less than $20 a month.

Before I stopped eating grains and even before I stopped eating gluten, I was never much of a bread person. It's not that I didn't like it, but I preferred to fill up on other foods. I probably ate the most bread when I was growing up because I always had a sandwich in my lunchbox each day (usually PB & J). Then, in junior high and high school, it was pretty much always bread in the form of cheese pizza. Anyway, my point is, I do not miss bread.
However, this does not mean that I don't enjoy something bread-like from time-to-time. Grain-free, bread-like things are definitely not a staple or necessity, but nice to have on occasion when desired. It's great that grain-free options exist, so I can have a bacon and egg sandwich when I want it or something to dunk into my hot chicken soup. Other times, I just need a vehicle to spread some ooey, gooey sunflower seed butter on. I don't always want to make a whole batch of something or have everything on hand to so though, which is why the idea of a single-serving muffin is perfect.
Adapted from this recipe and this recipe.
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil, grass-fed butter or ghee
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg, preferably pasture-raised
- 1 Tbsp coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1-2 tsp water
- Smear of grass-fed butter
- Generous smear of unsweetened sunflower seed butter (I used this brand)
- Melt the coconut oil in a small glass dish. Use a size that has a similar circumference to an English muffin. I use the 2-cup round size Pyrex dish from this set.
- Once oil is melted, add the sea salt, vinegar and baking soda. Whisk very well with a fork to make sure the baking soda dissolves and doesn't stick to the bottom. If you don't mix it well, the muffin may taste bitter!
- Then, add the egg and whisk again. Next, add the coconut flour, cinnamon and water (start w/ 1 tsp and add 1 more tsp if needed). Continue to whisk with a fork until everything is mixed well and there are no lumps (a few small lumps here and there is fine).
- Microwave for 90 seconds on high and then check to see if the center is still soft. If so, microwave for 30-45 seconds more. Once done, carefully remove from microwave to cool (dish will be hot!). Run a knife around the edge of the dish and then flip the bowl upside down to remove the muffin. Let cool a little longer if it's still really hot.
- Once cool enough to handle, but still warm, slice in half with a sharp knife. Then, spread some grass-fed butter on each half, followed by a generous smear of sunflower seed butter. Eat open face or stacked like a sandwich.
Yields: 1 serving

Yes! Absolutely a wonderful little sammie :-)
Paula says :
This came in handy yesterday because I wanted something to go with my chicken-broccoli soup and I needed it fast. I swapped the cinnamon for garlic powder and nutritional yeast and loved it. I'm down to my last egg so I want to make the cinnamon version today. I think I can pull off a quick blender jam with some frozen berries for a yummy SB&J. Great recipe!!!

What happens when I call Child, Youth and Family?
When you call us you will be able to talk directly with trained social workers. They will ask you questions to find out what's going on with the family or children you're worried about.
They will then look into the situation to find out what may be happening, whether we need to work with the family, or put them in touch with people in their community that can help.
Our social workers will work together with families to help them grow stronger and find their own solutions to any problems.
You should be contacted by us within the month to let you know how we followed up your call. It takes a while to assess the situation and help the family find the right solutions, so don't expect immediate results.
But if the social worker thinks the child is in immediate danger, we will make sure we act on your call within 24 hours.
My social worker always wanted the best for me. She was the one that told me I was a legend, and propped me up when things got bad. Best of all, she believed in me and now I know I deserve a good life. Young person

If you are worried that children you know are not safe or being well cared for, you might feel unsure about whether to let someone know.
At Child, Youth and Family we are here to talk through any worries you have. Our social workers are trained to work out what kinds of problems a family might be having, and find the best ways to help them get back on track.
Don't be afraid of getting it wrong: Let us know that you're worried. It's our job to work out if the family needs help, and what we can do to help them.
Trust your instincts: If you are worried that a child is being hurt or that they're not being well looked after, don't just hope someone else will speak up. Trust your instincts and let us know.
Remember, it's everyone's job to keep children safe: If there are serious problems, it's likely to go on until someone speaks up. Children cannot speak up for themselves, and the people involved may be too ashamed, distressed or caught up in the situation to ask for help.
Together we can help our children be safe, strong and thrive
The social worker helped us look at ourselves as a family. We just needed to have help with knowing what our children need, and we realised that our family is full of strength. Mother

Hand Surgery
|© 2004 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
FIGURE 1. Cutis marmorata telangiectasia congenita. The characteristic features of cutis marmorata telangiectasia congenita include a reticulated, marblelike appearance with a typical deep purple color. Involved limbs may have both soft tissue and skeletal atrophy.
FIGURE 2. Diverse presentations of capillary malformation (CM). CMs can involve any portion of the upper extremity and do not necessarily follow a segmental or dermatologic pattern. A: An extensive circumferential lesion of the arm, forearm, and hand. Note the less intense CM of the ipsilateral chest and abdomen. B: Diffuse enlargement of the hand is noted in the patient shown in A. C: CM involving the C3 to C5 distribution of the upper limb.
FIGURE 3. Diverse presentations of venous malformation (VM). A: An isolated VM along the palmar surface of a digit is symptomatic if intralesional thrombi compress digital nerves. B: This dorsal lesion is soft and compressible and symptomatic. C: Extensive VMs may involve the entire extremity and chest wall. This patient is septic from an infected phlebothrombosis in the anterior axillary region. D: This diffuse VM involves every soft tissue structure of the hand and distal forearm. Surgery is indicated only for symptomatic regions.
FIGURE 4. Imaging of a venous malformation (VM) in an adult patient with a forearm lesion. A–C: Transverse magnetic resonance images of the forearm that are differently weighted highlight characteristic findings of a VM. On a T1-weighted sequence (A), the VM is isointense to adjacent skeletal muscle. On a T1-weighted sequence with gadolinium enhancement (B), there is diffuse enhancement of the VM. On a T2-weighted sequence (C), there is a high signal with signal voids within the VM that represents phleboliths. D: Intravenous injection of contrast at the time of sclerotherapy reveals abnormal collection of saccular venous structures. E: Phleboliths are seen in soft tissues on a lateral plain radiograph. F: T2-weighted sagittal magnetic resonance imaging sequence.
FIGURE 5. Treatment algorithm for slow-flow vascular malformations. ASA, aspirin; AVM, arteriovenous malformation; LM, lymphatic malformation; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; Rx, treatment; VM, venous malformation.
FIGURE 6. Sclerotherapy of an upper extremity venous malformation. A: Venous malformation involving the superficial flexor and extensor compartments of the forearm. B: T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging sequence demonstrates the extent of involvement. Physical examination alone may be deceiving. C: Injection of contrast material at the time of sclerotherapy demonstrates the abnormal venous vessels. D: Arterial phase angiogram after sclerotherapy demonstrates a normal arterial circulation. E: Venous phase angiogram after sclerotherapy shows lack of contrast at the site of the sclerosed venous malformation (white arrow).
FIGURE 7. Sclerotherapy complication. An acute compartment syndrome developed within hours after this venous malformation was injected. The lesion ran along the interosseous membrane, involving all four superficial flexor muscle bellies and the terminal flexor to the thumb. Clots and thrombi are seen during the fasciotomy. Involved portions of muscles were excised. The only residuum 4 years later was a weak thumb flexor.
FIGURE 8. Surgical resection of a venous malformation involving the palm and long and ring digits. A: Preoperative appearance. The extent of involvement is always much greater than is estimated on physical examination. B: The first of multiple staged procedures consisted of debulking one-half of each of the long and ring fingers. Microscopic dissection is invaluable for preservation of neurovascular structures. C: The radial digital nerve and artery are seen after microscopic dissection. D: All neurovascular structures (except the venae comitantes) are preserved during a full palmar dissection.
FIGURE 9. Persistent venous malformation after surgical resection. A: A 9-year-old boy presented after an unsuccessful excision of a symptomatic venous malformation at another institution, during which the surgeons found themselves "operating in an inkwell." At the time of reoperation at our institution, the skin flaps have been reflected and scarred muscular fascia exposed. B: Excision included the interosseous membrane and all involved soft tissue, as well as several distal muscle bellies. C: Before closure, gelatin sponge has been placed within the dead space, along with drainage catheters. D: An intradermal subcutaneous closure should always be performed on the exposed dorsal surface of the forearm.
FIGURE 10. Diverse presentations of lymphatic malformations. A: Hard, rubbery semimobile mass on the dorsum of the ring finger in an 18-month-old male. B: Gross involvement of the upper limb, ipsilateral chest, mediastinum, and neck in a 2-year-old girl. C: Lymphatic malformation involving the right hand and wrist of a neonate who was erroneously diagnosed as having an amniotic band syndrome on a prenatal ultrasound, resulting in unnecessary fetal surgery at another institution. The tissue is rubbery and minimally compressible. D: The forearm and dorsum of the hand and digits are common presentations for more extensive lymphatic malformations.
FIGURE 11. Radiologic characteristics of lymphatic malformation. A: Multiple macrocysts within a large cervical lymphatic malformation are seen in this T2-weighted magnetic resonance image sagittal view. B: In a more anterior T1-weighted coronal plane, the extension of this lesion through the axilla along the chest wall can be appreciated. The areas of high signal intensity represent abnormal fat. C: The large macrocysts are the most amenable to sclerotherapy. D: The largest cyst is demonstrated on fluoroscopy just before injection of the sclerosant.
FIGURE 12. A: Digital resection of lymphatic malformation. The digital and palmar dissections of this lymphatic malformation are performed separately. One side of the digit is debulked at a time. B: The radial neurovascular bundle, including vincular branches of the artery, has been preserved. An excess amount of fat is admixed with the microcystic lymphatic malformation. The ulnar neurovascular bundle is untouched. C: Excess skin is excised through dorsal skin creases. A 2-mm skin bridge is preserved on the distal fingertip for suturing of the palmar flap. Flaps are raised through a high midaxial incision. Estimated regions of skin excision include a large portion of the pulp tissue. There is significant scar tissue from a previous excision. D: Postoperative appearance of dorsal surface. E: Postoperative appearance of palmar surface. F: Dorsal surface closure.
FIGURE 13. Volar hand resection of lymphatic malformation. A: This girl is seen at age 6 years after debulking of the index and long digits. Resection of the dorsum of the hand and thumb is planned in two additional procedures. B: Postoperative result, 24 years later. C: Result 30 years after resection. D,E: Regions over the radial side of the index finger and the palmar pulp of the thumb continue to be swollen and hyperhidrotic due to intradermal lymphatic malformation.
FIGURE 14. Natural history and resection of extensive lymphatic malformation. A: At birth, this baby had a rubbery mass with peau d'orange and a bluish hue within the arm and axilla. The diagnosis of lymphatic malformation can be made on physical examination alone. B: Over the next 3 months, the mass enlarged and was not compressible. C: By 20 months of life, the size and weight of the lesion had become problematic. D: The lesion along the chest wall, the axilla including the brachial plexus and arm, was dissected and resected during one procedure. E: The chest and arm with residual malformation have been well controlled with compression wrappings at age 5 years. F: Despite three additional debulkings of the forearm and arm, it has been difficult to control swelling in this region. Bleeding and maceration from direct dermal involvement within the axilla have necessitated antibiotic treatment for an average of 3 months per year.
FIGURE 15. Types of fast-flow arteriovenous malformations. A,B: Type A consists of single or multiple arteriovenous fistulas, aneurysms on the arterial side of the circulation. C,D: Type B lesions are more extensive but localized primarily to one or two of the three axial systems on the arterial side (radial, interosseous, or ulnar). The discoloration of the long fingertip is secondary to the steal phenomenon. E,F: Type C malformations are very extensive, involve all three systems, and are very symptomatic. The many microarteriovenous fistulas involve all tissues of the wrist and hand.
FIGURE 16. Type B fast-flow malformation. A: An 8-year-old girl presented with a persistent mass with thrills and bruits over the distal third of the right forearm. B: T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging sequences show flow voids and a mass involving all soft tissue structures dorsal to the interosseous membrane of the forearm. C: Early views during angiography demonstrate the many microshunts and arteriovenous fistulas along the interosseous system. D: The nidus of the arteriovenous malformation remains along the interosseous membrane, with diffuse extension into the adjacent soft tissue mass. E: After preoperative embolization the mass is well visualized. F: Resection included the interosseous membrane and involved periosteum of both the radius and ulna. Normal digital and thumb extension was restored postoperatively.
FIGURE 17. Arteriovenous malformation type C, fast-flow. A: This 67-year-old executive noted a gradual swelling and pulsation in his hand since his teenage years. Earlier in life, surgical removal of symptomatic regions was aborted due to bleeding that could be controlled only with elevation and pressure. B: Early angiographic sequences show macrofistulous shunts involving the radial and ulnar arteries and both palmar arches. With aging, these vascular channels have dilated and become quite tortuous. C: He experiences a persistent steal phenomenon in the long and index fingers, and the mass within the palm partially obstructs a functional grasp unless he wears his compression glove. Extrinsic flexion and extension have remained normal. The distorted nail matrix of the index finger has been the source of a chronic paronychia.
FIGURE 18. Treatment algorithm for fast-flow malformations.
FIGURE 19. Arteriovenous malformation type B, fast-flow. A: The angiogram of a 6-month-old child with a swollen, red, tense fingertip. Localized thrills were consistent with a microfistulous arteriovenous malformation involving only the pulp tissue. B: Superselective embolization was performed through a catheter that was passed into the ulnar digital artery of this small child. C: Follow-up angiography demonstrates complete obliteration of the mass.
FIGURE 20. Embolization and surgery of arteriovenous malformation type B. A: This professional wrestler presented with a painful mass within the thenar muscles. A thrill was first noted during adolescence. There was no history of trauma. B: The nidus of the arteriovenous malformation was demonstrated at the level of superficial palmar arch, supplied by radial, interosseous, and ulnar vessels. Distal digital and thumb arterial architecture was shown to be normal. C: The postembolization study showed obliteration of most of the arteriovenous malformation with large draining veins. D: Two days later, the mass was explored surgically. Yellow vessel loops mark the recurrent motor branch and sensory branches of the median nerve. E: All nerves and flexor tendons were preserved during surgical resection. F: Five years later, he continued to demonstrate good function. Palmar abduction is present through the abductor pollicis, but key pinch is weak due to the resection of the adductor pollicis muscle.
FIGURE 21. Embolization, surgery, and repeat embolization of arteriovenous malformation type B. A: A pulsatile mass within the hypothenar eminence of this young woman became larger and painful when she started antiovulant medication. B: Early angiographic sequences showed a macrofistulous arteriovenous malformation in Guyon's canal fed by both ulnar and interosseous vessels. C: A postembolization sequence showed persistence of many shunts. Note the lack of perfusion of the pulp tissue of both ring and long digits, which were most symptomatic. The caliber of the ulnar artery was twice normal. D: Surgical excision included removal of ulnar artery and common digital vessel to the fourth web space. Sensory and motor nerves and flexor tendons were preserved and revascularization to the ulnar side of the ring and both sides of the fifth digit performed with autogenous vein grafts. E: Normal flexion and extension without claw posturing were noted 2 years postoperatively. F: Five years later, she presented with a painful mass at the base of the ring finger. This represented some residual arteriovenous malformation at the margin of the previous resection within the intermetacarpal space and was easily embolized without the need for more surgery.
FIGURE 22. Microfistulous, progressive arteriovenous malformation type C. At age 1 year, this child presented with a capillary malformation of the hand and pulsatile mass of the distal forearm. The diagnosis of Parkes Weber syndrome was made, and she was treated with compression garments. An angiogram at age 6 years showed a progressive microfistulous, painful arteriovenous malformation of the distal forearm. By the time she was 12 years old, she was in continual pain. A: Massively enlarged subclavian and axillary arteries were demonstrated, and at the same time, she showed early signs of cardiac compromise. B: She learned to control her pain by dislocating her glenohumeral joint and compressing her axillary artery, a position in which she often slept. C: Intraarterial balloon catheters were helpful at the time of shoulder disarticulation for removal of her parasitic and extremely painful limb. D: Preservation of the scapula helps drape clothing and makes the appearance of these patients less conspicuous. Within 6 months, she gained 20 pounds, became less morose, and excelled in school and cross-country running.
FIGURE 23. A: A 25-year-old secretary with a known type C arteriovenous malformation presented after embolization of a massive lesion involving the entire forearm and hand. B: An angiogram showed macrofistulous shunting involving all three arterial systems of the hand. The digital vessels to the ulnar three digits were not visualized at any stage of the study. C: The shunts and fistulas with the forearm appeared to be massive. D: Appearance during amputation. E: With a well-healed, nonpainful below-elbow amputation stump, she functioned very well with and without a myoelectric prosthesis. She regretted that she did not have this procedure performed much earlier in life.
FIGURE 24. Type C, microfistulous and macrofistulous, congestive heart failure, and below-elbow amputation. A: Both this teenager with a type C arteriovenous malformation and his parents wanted to save this hand. The index ray had been resected for uncontrollable pulsatile bleeding. The thumb then became ulcerated and congested, and the patient became suicidal because of the unrelenting pain. B: Angiography showed massively tortuous and enlarged axial vessels feeding microfistulous shunts within the forearm and hand. C: A later sequence demonstrated the extent of the shunting and lack of distal digital perfusion. D: Chest radiograph and electrocardiogram were consistent with congestive heart failure. A below-elbow amputation was followed by a predictable recovery and normal adolescent growth spurt.
FIGURE 25. Capillary-lymphatic-venous malformation progression. A–D: The progression of a combined capillary-lymphatic-venous malformation is seen at ages 6 months, 3 years, 12 years, and 28 years. Manifestations of upper limb involvement included skeletal and soft tissue overgrowth, macrodactyly, development of extensive lymphatic vesicles, and worsening of joint contractures after multiple operations at another local institution. At age 22, she delivered a normal infant, and 6 years later, she died of suspected pulmonary embolus.
FIGURE 26. Maffucci's syndrome. A: The unilateral hand of a girl with Maffucci's syndrome shows the characteristic sessile, pedunculated venous malformations. B: Radiographs demonstrate multiple phalangeal and metacarpal lucencies secondary to enchondromas. Her right distal ulnar has been previously resected.

The Politics of School Reform
Until we commit dollars and political capital in equal measures to creating alternative learning environments aimed at reaching students at every part of the learning spectrum; we will continue to see schools fall short of what we expect from them. If the school calendar is considered antiquated, the curriculum model we continue to follow for our schools must be called ancient.

China Mobile Could Take 3G Lead With iPhone
Still, China Mobile managed to add about 10 million iPhone users (as of October 2011), who paid for an unsubsidized phone just to be with China Mobile's stronger 2G network. We believe that Qualcomm's recent announcement of a baseband chip that supports China Mobile's networks will finally make it possible for Apple to release an iPhone on the world's largest carrier. When that happens, it will help China Mobile add even more iPhone customers and increase its 3G footprint.
Only about 8% of China Mobile's total subscriber base is 3G customers. This gives China Mobile over 600 million 2G customers who may one day transition to 3G. Wider availability of smartphones that support its 3G network will help it promote 3G better and gradually transition its huge 2G base to 3G.
Adding 3G subscribers will help China Mobile increase its ARPU levels as 3G smartphone users are huge data users as well. But the subsidies associated with smartphones such as the iPhone may cause its margins to fall. We have seen China Unicom's EBITDA margin for its mobile division decline sharply since the end of 2009, when it first started selling the iPhone. But its ARPU levels have also increased sharply since then.

Jobs in Fort LauderdaleGiven Fort Lauderdale's position as a prime vacation destination, it is not surprising that tourism and related industries represent an important segment of local employment. In fact, tourism accounts for $20 billion each year locally.
A quick perusal of any jobs database or listing for the area will reveal literally dozens of opportunities related to the travel and hospital sectors. The 2002 census reports that more than 145,000 residents of Broward County are employed in service related jobs including arts, entertainment, hospitality, etc. Also according to the census, the mean annual family income for Broward County is $46,175, with three-quarters of local families earning more than $25,000 per year.
Something to be considered is that because of the importance of tourism to the economy in Fort Lauderdale and because of the city's unique geographic situation, many job opportunities exist here that are generally very hard to come by across the country. For example, individuals with experience in tropical wetland plant and animal care will find employment opportunities in local Everglades attractions and conservation centers that simply do not exist in other places. It is true that the local tourism and hospitality industries took a hit after the tragedy of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and in the ensuing economic slowdown; however, things are looking better on this economic front. In fact, local officials say that area tourism related businesses are on much stronger footing to weather disturbances of a geopolitical nature than they were in the early 1990's. For one thing, hotels have less debt than they did at that point and access to lower interest rates. In Broward County and Palm Beach, there is an estimated 800 hotels.
Another point is that Fort Lauderdale has tapped into a much more diverse group of visitors, relying less heavily on any one particular demographic group. The selection of Fort Lauderdale for conventions, expositions and other types of meetings by a wide range of travelers (such as civic, scientific, sports-related, and religious organizations) puts the city on a much firmer footing than a decade ago. The city has hired professionals to attract previously underappreciated demographic segments like gay tourists.
So if you are considering a geographic change, think of Fort Lauderdale for more than just a short trip. Those already working in the tourism industry will likely experience a relatively easy job hunt and a smooth transition to the area. Those contemplating a change in employment fields will find many entry-level opportunities that will not exist elsewhere. Then you will be more than one of the lucky folks who spends vacation time in beautiful Fort Lauderdale, you will be one of the even luckier folks who live here.

Celiac Disease Nutrition Guide, 3rd Ed. (Single Copy)
This easy to read "survival guide" outlines essential information for people diagnosed with Celiac disease.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America. It's important to learn about how you and your family can follow a heart-healthy diet.
The key to heart health is eating foods low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol and sodium, and high in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Eating a well-balanced diet will include a combination of whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy.
Saturated and trans fats are found in some meats, dairy products, baked goods and deep-fried and processed foods. Both types of fat raise your LDL – or "bad" – cholesterol level. Instead, eat more plant proteins, fish, poultry and low-fat dairy foods. Start cooking with oils high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat instead of butter, margarine or shortening, which are high in trans fat.
Switch refined grains, like white rice or bread, with whole-grain options, such as brown rice and 100-percent whole-grain bread or pasta. Throughout the day, sip on water and limit sugary beverages by choosing fat-free milk and 100-percent fruit juices.
Next time you are at the grocery store, pick up some of these heart-healthy items:
Another way to reduce your risk of heart disease is to be active. Regular, moderate physical activity lowers blood pressure and helps your body control stress and weight. Be physically active in your own way, and start by doing what you can, at least 10 minutes at a time. Children and teens should get 60 or more minutes of physical activity per day, and adults should get two hours and 30 minutes per week. Encourage your family to take a walk after dinner or play a game of catch or basketball.
For more heart-healthy cooking tips and information on reducing your risk for heart disease, consult a registered dietitian in your area.

TC Recipe: Cumin Scented Lamb Shank Risotto
By Sous Chef Benjamin Nadolny
Suggested Pairing: 2008 NxNW Columbia Valley Tower Club Cuvée
Serves 2
|While tasting the cuvée my first thought was to pair cumin against the molasses and jam notes of this wine. This wine pairs very nicely with rich flavors without being too hot on the nose and finish. The red wine risotto in this dish comes out a bright red and enriches the flavor connection between the food and wine. Adding steamed broccoli, green beans, or asparagus to this dish would be a nice accompaniment to the richness and add a lovely contrast to the red color.
| Lamb: Add the water and lamb shanks into a deep baking dish, sprinkling lamb with salt, pepper, garlic, thyme and rosemary. Pour the oil over the lamb. Cover with foil and place in a 400 degree oven for 3 hours. You want the lamb to fall off the bone.
Risotto: Heat the chicken stock in a small pot. In another pot sweat the onion in the butter over low heat. Add the Arborio rice and stir for 5 minutes until lightly toasted. Add the red wine and stir slowly to incorporate, allowing the wine to reduce. Next add the chicken stock one cup at a time while continuously stirring. When the rice is tender add the cumin and the parmesan and stir to incorporate.
Plating: Scoop the risotto into a bowl. Pick the lamb from the bone and place on top. Finish with a good quality sea salt and a nice olive oil. Enjoy.

Home Securities Transaction Tax Resource Center
Concerns about volatile financial markets and the search for new sources of federal revenue have spurred interest among lawmakers and other commentators in imposing new taxes on securities transactions. Generally, a "securities transaction tax" (also known as "financial transaction taxes") could apply to the value of trades in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), futures and options, other derivative instruments, and other securities.
While a securities transaction tax can be structured in a variety of ways, ICI believes that any such tax could harm individual fund investors who are investing to meet retirement, education, and other financial goals.
For fund investors, a securities transaction tax would raise the cost of trades that a fund makes for its portfolio and would depress fund returns. Depending on how the tax is structured, it could subject mutual fund and ETF shareholders to double taxation—for example, if the tax is collected both on trades in fund shares and on stock trades that mutual funds routinely engage in to invest shareholder cash, meet shareholder redemptions, and adjust fund portfolios. If the tax is applied to shares in money market funds, it would place a heavy burden on their shareholders, many of whom buy and sell shares frequently because they use these funds as transaction accounts.
Some securities transaction tax proposals have tried to exempt individual fund investors. However, no matter how it is structured, such a tax could harm individual fund investors and could create market distortions that would reduce the efficiency of markets for all participants—including fund investors—by reducing market volumes, impairing liquidity, and distorting price discovery.
ICI research also demonstrates that past proposals would have imposed a securities transaction tax that is several times greater than any tax ever imposed on stock transfers in the U.S.
This page provides information, analysis, and resources on securities transaction taxes from ICI and other sources.

Bone Marrow Registration Drive on campus on LSU game day!
On Saturday, October 20, the TAMU Cancer Society, American Childhood Cancer Organization, and Future Aggie Nurses will be hosting a Bone Marrow Drive 4 hours before the LSU football game. The drive will be held near Rudder Fountain between the Memorial Student Center and Rudder Tower.
Registering is free and easy! All if takes is a little bit of paperwork and a simple cheek swab. Normally, only 1 in 200 people are found to actually be a match. You will stay in the bone marrow registry until age 65.
Most people think it is very painful, but it's not! 85% of the time the donation process is much like donating blood or plasma and blood stem cells are filtered out. About 15% of the time, marrow cells are collected from the backside of the pelvic bone (not the spine) using a special syringe. Donors receive general anesthesia so no pain is experienced during the marrow extraction.
