With funding from the Strengthening Emergency Needs Assessment Capacity (SENAC) project, in June 2005 WFP launched a study of the cereal markets in Niger. The objectives were to gain a better understanding of how markets function, to develop tools for tracking market indicators and to explain the price fluctuations since the last harvest in October 2004. An interim report dealing with the latter issue was published on 17 August 2005. The current 'market profile' not only discusses the 2004/2005 price increases, but also with how the markets function and the tools for monitoring the markets.

CALIFORNIA, March 2, 2013 ― If a medical doctor treats a patient for a life threatening cancer he doesn't have, not only would he lose the patient's trust, he'd probably face a malpractice suit. If your auto mechanic said your car was dangerous when it was not, and that you needed a new engine when yours was in good shape, you'd take your business elsewhere and try to see his business license revoked. Pick any profession, if we find out the professional is a fraud, what should we do?
SEE RELATED: Obama's immigration reform plan "B" is a failed plan
The answer is obvious.
Yet we put up with politicians who are masters at spinning tales of woe in order to frighten us into supporting their agenda, no matter how destructive to us or our nation. The sequester is but the latest example of this pathology in a long string of manufactured fiscal catastrophes.
Let's ignore the fact that Congress and the President had a year and a half to address this self-imposed "crisis," and that even with sequestration the government will spend more than it did last year. How can Obama claim that public safety, public schools, national defense and our entire economy are at risk unless the current rate of government growth (far above the inflation rate) is maintained and more new taxes imposed?
The only way this doomsday scenario could be true is if the President willfully cuts only those programs that will needlessly impact the most people. If he does, it's obvious what the next step is: Blame others for supposedly forcing his hand. In Biblical terms, this is revenge (Leviticus 19:18) against those responsibly challenging him (Proverbs 18:17).
SEE RELATED: President Obama, horseman of the sequestration apocalypse
Deception and false threats are the tried and true political tactics of weak politicians throughout history. Scripture and moral conscience rightly condemn such actions, describing them as stealing, dealing falsely, and lying (e.g. Leviticus 19:11). In fact, the Bible and common sense have always warned that such self-serving actions always lead to horrible consequences (Proverbs 14:12; 26:12; James 4:1-17).
Using the presidential bully-pulpit to unnecessarily frighten people over sequestration isn't leadership, it's symptomatic of a sluggard shirking responsibility (Proverbs 22:13). Not only that, but it reveals the biggest lies of all: a bankrupt worldview that actually believes government can meet all of our needs; that it can never be too large or too powerful; and that any restraints on its drug of choice (money) are unthinkable. Why else would such doom and gloom be promised over a 2 percent cut in a $3.6 trillion budget? Particularly when we know this is only a small fraction of what numerous government investigations clearly document, hundreds of billions of dollars of government waste each year?
The federal government has literally left no stone unturned in creatively finding ways to extract and spend our money. In doing so it has gone far beyond its constitutionally enumerated powers and its rightful role Biblically (Romans 13:1-4; 1 Peter 2:14). Instead of fiscal discipline, the order of the day continues to be massive federal subsidies and grants for every conceivable activity under the sun; even more onerous regulations requiring costly government oversight; ever increasing expansions of entitlement benefits; and bailouts to favored businesses and industries that aren't competitive on their own (Amtrak, USPS, Solyndra to name a few).
It's one thing when an individual has to learn the consequences of being irresponsible. It's quite another when our President and his congressional cohorts refuse to admit the damage they're doing by borrowing over 40 percent of every federal dollar spent, and ignoring the tens of trillions of dollars in national debt we'll never be able to pay back. These actions aren't petty theft; they are pillaging our future (Exodus 20:15) and destroying our nation's strengths – initiative and self-reliance.
We need to stand up, expose and condemn our government's insatiable thirst to waste money (Ephesians 5:11). On the other hand, we need to encourage conservative members of Congress to not back down from demanding fiscal restraint, reducing the national debt, and dramatically reduce or tax burden. Without these, the American dream our nation was founded on and that we've worked so hard to preserve for our children will be bankrupt within our generation.
If that happens, we'll have no one left to blame except ourselves and the political fools that can't see past their own self-importance (Proverbs 16:18).

Biz Kid$, the credit union funded public television series that teaches kids about money management and entrepreneurship, received a Parent's Choice Gold Award recently.
The Parents' Choice Gold Awards are given to those books, toys, games, videos, software, magazines, audio recordings, and television programs that are judged as the highest quality, most appealing products in their genre. Criteria for judgments include the highest production standards, universal human values and a unique, individual quality that pushes the product a notch above others.
"Thanks to credit unions, Biz Kid$ - the series, its corresponding curriculum and its website – empowers young consumers to build financial independence and opportunity," said Danielle Brown, Biz Kid$ Program Coordinator for NCUF. "Winning this award validates the quality and value of the Biz Kid$ program."
The Parents' Choice Awards is the nation's oldest nonprofit program created to recognize quality children's media. Parents' Choice Foundation's panels of educators, scientists, performing artists, librarians, parents and kids themselves, identify the very best products for children of different ages and backgrounds, and of varied skill and interest levels.
It is considered a prestigious award among children's products, and has been described as the industry equivalent of an Academy Award. As a Parents' Choice Award winner, Biz Kid$ is a member of a very select group. Fewer than 20% of the products submitted to the Parents' Choice Awards program receive any level of commendation. This is the first time Biz Kid$ has won the Gold Award. Last year, Biz Kid$ received its first ever Parent's Choice Silver Award.
Biz Kid$ has continually garnered attention in and outside of the credit union industry. In its five seasons, Biz Kid$ has garnered ten Emmy nominations—winning once in 2009—and rang the closing bell ceremonies at both the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Exchange for three years in conjunction with National Financial Literacy Month. In 2009, Biz Kid$ won the Environmental Media Award for Outstanding Children's Television Series. In 2010, it earned a Silver Telly Award for Outstanding Children's Financial Literacy Programming as well as the credit union industry's most prestigious honor, the Herb Wegner Award for Outstanding Program.
Biz Kid$ - Teaching Kids about Money & Business
The National Credit Union Foundation oversees fundraising, outreach and administrative responsibilities of Biz Kid$. Over the past six years, more than 300 credit unions and affiliated organizations have raised more than $14 million that has supported the show's production, website and curriculum. In fact, every Biz Kid$ episode begins and ends with a narrator reminding viewers that: "Production funding for Biz Kid$ is provided by America's Credit Unions, where people are worth more than money."
Biz Kid$, which premiered in January 2008, quickly grew into a national phenomenon. Since the series launch, Biz Kid$ has been broadcast to more than 271 million people, in more than 98% of the country. Of all APT children's programs currently on the air, Biz Kid$ has the largest national market penetration in the United States, airing on more than 338 public television stations. When compared to children's programs of a similar target demographic, Biz Kid$ has more viewers, a larger number of broadcasts, and a higher metered market count.
Many credit unions leverage Biz Kid$ to teach financial education in schools in their community. In addition to NCUF's box sets and starter kits, companion materials and other resources for teachers and parents are available at no cost on the Biz Kid$ website, www.bizkids.com.

[1] This study highlights the fast recovery of the wintertime Siberian High intensity (SHI) over the last two decades. The SHI showed a marked weakening trend from the 1970s to 1980s, leading to unprecedented low SHI in the early 1990s according to most observational data sets. This salient declining SHI trend, however, was sharply replaced by a fast recovery over the last two decades. Since the declining SHI trend has been considered as one of the plausible consequences of climate warming, the recent SHI recovery seemingly contradicts the continuous progression of climate warming in the Northern Hemisphere. We suggest that alleviated surface warming and decreased atmospheric stability in the central Siberia region, associated with an increase in Eurasian snow cover, in the recent two decades contributed to this rather unexpected SHI recovery. The prominent SHI change, however, is not reproduced by general circulation model (GCM) simulations used in the IPCC AR4. The GCMs indicate the steady weakening of the SHI for the entire 21st century, which is found to be associated with a decreasing Eurasian snow cover in the simulations. An improvement in predicting the future climate change in regional scale is desirable.

Israel is preparing to build more than 1,000 new settler homes in east Jerusalem as the United States strives to revive dormant Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, according to an non-governmental organisation.
Danny Seidemann, director of Jerusalem settlement watchdog Terrestrial Jerusalem, said on Wednesday that contracts for 300 homes in the northeastern settlement of Ramot were signed and another 797 plots were to be offered for sale in the southern Jerusalem settlement of Gilo, near the city of Jerusalem.
Both are in mainly-Arab areas of the holy city.
Seidemann said that the plans were approved last year before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quietly ordered a settlement freeze, but the latest steps in their implementation were leaked to media by the office of Uri Ariel, the Housing and Construction Minister.
"This does not mean that the freeze is over, it does mean that Netanyahu's minister of construction is trying to achieve that," Seidemann said.
Force of hand
Seidemann said that Ariel was seeking to force Netanyahu into either giving a green-light or halting the work.
Although the freeze was never officially confirmed, NGOs said that Netanyahu did not want to be seen as hampering US Secretary of State John Kerry's initiative to breathe fresh life into moribund peace efforts.
"This is an attempt to force Netanyahu's hand," he said.
The news came less than a week after Kerry's latest round of talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders on his fourth visit to the region since he took office in February.
On Sunday, he unveiled a $4bn US plan to boost the Palestinian economy but an adviser to the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that the leadership would "not offer political concessions in exchange for economic benefits."
Abbas himself called on Israel to "end the occupation of our lands", evacuate settlements and free Palestinian prisoners."
The Palestinian leadership wants a total freeze on Israeli settlement construction before it resumes peace talks with Israel, which have been stalled for almost three years.

Yep, should work with SP1
Bit of a necro, but this thread just popped up in Google while I was trying to remember how to fix this, and figured I'd post as there is a much easier way than removing Service Packs or rolling out updates
In the Outlook that is having the problem, open a new email and start addressing it to the problematic recipient, and tab to autocomplete the address. Then hover over the address and select Outlook Properties from the drop down on the hover box (4ith icon). It should open a small window like this:
Attachment 14567
Note the email type is "mailto". This is the problem. Click the "Internet Type" button and click OK, then send the email (you have to send something to clear the error). It should be fine going forward now for that recipient.
It's Outlook 2007/10 being thick with how it interprets email addresses from webpages. You can recreate it quite easily by addressing an email as [mailto:email@example.com] (with the square brackets and mailto: prefix) - once you've sent one email with the address in that format, any emails sent to the address in future will fail as above. You then have to go through the steps I just listed to clear it.
Should be a bit quicker than the software fix if someone needs to get the email off quick. Once it's fixed it doesn't recur and it doesn't tend to crop up very often afterwards - hence me having to reGoogle to work out how I fixed it before!
(image taken from this article on the same topic: Exchange: Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists – IMCEAMAILTO | Robin CM's IT Blog)
For Office 2007 there is a Hotfix - as yet I don't think there is a hotfix for 2010. Its only an issue with SP1 so i presume at some point M$ will release a similar hotfix for 2010.

Solar flap misses point on energy subsidies
The author of this entry is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

The combination of the debt-ceiling debate and the recent bankruptcy of a solar firm with a $535 million loan guarantee is certain to give energy subsidies a leading part in the Washington budget drama this fall.
If, however, the goal is good energy policy -- not just deficit reduction -- the fact that solar companies are going broke could turn out to be a positive development, if it puts the spotlight on nuclear reactors rather than just solar panels.
Although the solar industry receives significant subsidies -- loan guarantees among them -- it still is primarily a market-driven industry. It must raise capital in financial markets. It must purchase liability insurance. It must make its sales in competitive markets. On the other hand, for more than 50 years the construction of nuclear reactors in the United States has been the recipient of an array of massive subsidies and other special arrangements that go way beyond loan guarantees and totally insulate it from market forces.
For example, the Price-Anderson Act shields firms that build and operate nuclear reactors from incurring full liability for nuclear accidents. Utilities are required to have a small amount of private insurance and create an industry-wide liability pool that is capped at about $12 billion. If a major accident were to occur, liability beyond this amount would shift to the public. That risk is not a purely theoretical one: The current estimate for the cost of the ongoing Fukushima disaster in Japan is $250 billion ... and rising.
Taxpayer-backed loan guarantees and limited liability are not the only subsidies the nuclear industry is receiving today. In every state where there is active pursuit of new reactors, construction is subsidized by ratepayers with what is euphemistically known as "advanced cost recovery" (also known as construction work in progress, or CWIP). This "robbing today's Peter to power tomorrow's Paul" arrangement requires ratepayers to pay for reactors years before they ever generate any power. It's caused an uproar in Florida, where many of the ratepayers who dig the deepest to pay for reactors will be dead and buried when -- and if -- the first electron of power is generated.
In short, this brand of American "nuclear socialism" means that the public is shouldering virtually all of the risk of new nuclear reactor construction. In contrast, stockholders of solar companies, whether they manufacture equipment or develop solar facilities, assume much more of the potential downside of solar deployment.
One can even make the case that no-holds-barred subsidies for nuclear power have the effect of crowding out solar companies. The price of solar panels has been declining dramatically over the past several years because of fierce competition and excess capacity created by softening demand for electricity. With prices falling and demand growth slowing, the higher-cost competitors are squeezed out.
In contrast to the declining cost of solar, the projected cost of nuclear reactors has been rising sharply. The federal government's Energy Information Agency estimates that since 2008, when the current crop of new reactors was first proposed, the projected cost of nuclear reactors has increased by 60 percent, while the cost of building solar photovoltaic capacity has declined about 20 percent. If this were a truly efficient market, construction of new nuclear reactors should have been the first projects to be abandoned. But they were not.
Because utilities are not subject to effective competition, and prefer to pad their rate base with high-cost nuclear projects for which they are guaranteed cost recovery, they keep their nuclear projects going while rejecting alternative sources of energy that actually are less costly and can be brought online more quickly.
And that is how the widely publicized failure of a solar company that received a federal loan guarantee could expose the mother of all energy subsidies -- the extensive array of direct and indirect support that federal and state governments provide to the far more costly nuclear power industry.
If energy subsidies that pervert market forces are really going to get the boot, then nuclear power should be the first industry required to pay its own way and compete head-to-head in a truly competitive marketplace.
On the other hand, if policymakers wish to ignore the economic fundamentals of electricity markets and treat loan guarantees as an effort to point energy policy in a new direction, solar is a much better candidate for "infant industry" support than nuclear reactor construction, which already has half a century of subsidies under its belt.

UW-Eau Claire
News Bureau
Schofield Hall 218
Eau Claire, WI 54702-4004
UW-Eau Claire Welcomes
Community to Campus
(715) 836-4741
(715) 836-2900
MAILED: Jan. 13, 2000
EAU CLAIRE Members of the Chippewa Valley who are looking for exciting learning or part-time study opportunities are invited to explore their options during the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's Community Information Night Jan. 20.
"We are identifying ways that we can better meet the educational needs of those people living and working in the Chippewa Valley," said Chancellor Donald Mash. "We're inviting to this event anyone who is interested in taking a course this spring or simply looking for information they can use in the future to make decisions about higher education."
Community members are invited to stop by Room 210 in Schneider Hall anytime between 6 and 8:30 p.m. Jan. 20. Free parking will be available in the Schneider Hall and Visitor's parking lots.
Those attending Community Information Night can meet one-on-one with academic and career advisers to explore things such as career trends, launching a new career by earning a degree, and expanding their minds or advancing professionally by enrolling in undergraduate, graduate or outreach courses. They also will have opportunities to visit with faculty and staff to learn about educational opportunities available to them at UW-Eau Claire.
"This is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about opportunities at UW-Eau Claire, whether they plan to earn a degree or are simply interested in taking classes for professional or personal growth," Mash said.
UW-Eau Claire will again make available to community members some late afternoon and evening courses, classes that meet at times that might be more convenient for people with work and family commitments. Those community members interested in taking an available course this spring can enroll as a special student with the help of admissions and registration staff during Community Information Night.
"By the time you walk out the door, you can be enrolled at UW-Eau Claire as a special student or simply have the information you need to help you enroll in the future," said Provost and Vice Chancellor Ronald Satz. "If you find the course you want, you can even talk with business or financial aid staff about payment options, rent or buy your textbooks, buy a parking permit and get your student ID the same night. By the time you leave campus, you'll be ready for spring semester classes to begin Jan. 24."
Tuition is $404.55 for a three-credit undergraduate course for the spring semester and $651.63 for a three-credit graduate class. Tuition for masters of business administration course is slightly higher, with a three-credit MBA class costing $726.63. The costs for credit and non-credit outreach courses vary. The spring semester begins Jan. 24 and ends May 26.
More than 200 community members visited UW-Eau Claire's first Community Information Night in August. Many of those who attended enrolled in fall semester courses.
For more information about Community Information Night or opportunities for adult students at UW-Eau Claire, call Rita Webb or Debbie Gough in the Academic and Career Services office at (715) 836-3259.

text: Lisa Leady demonstrates how to get a show look on a pet Golden Retriever. When she starts grooming this dog, the coat is packed with undercoat. Goldens should be athletic and muscular with a soft, pleasing expression. When grooming them, you want to show off these traits. Having large amounts of undercoat does not achieve the physically fit appearance and the excessive undercoat ends up all over the owner's home. Lisa shows you how to work with carding tools to make even a couch potato look athletic. She strategically removes bulk to bring out the angles of this dog. She demonstrates how to trim the head with thinning shears to get the soft expression so typical of this breed. This may not be a show dog, but by the time Lisa gets done with her, she looks show ring ready.

Meet the creatives we're tipping for success this year
Bradley was inspired by the distinctive silhouette of our classic Fred Perry track jackets. This time around, we designed it with a longer body and sleeves to give it an even leaner and more athletic profile. It's made from a cotton/nylon blend, creating a look that's both sporting and smart. We added the colour contrasting chest stripe and a zipped rear pocket in reference to 1950s cycling jerseys. Bradley's signature tipping is on the cuffs and our Laurel Wreath badge is proudly embroidered on the chest.

If you're looking for articles in journals or newspapers, you can find the information a few different ways.
If you know the name of the journal, the quickest way is to click on journals. That will allow you to type in the title or browse to it and find out what database it's in or whether it's available in print in the library.
Don't know the journal title? Try searching the databases. Use the general list first, or scroll to the specific database you think might contain the information you need.
You can search for newspaper articles online, too. The library subscribes to the New York Times and to LexisNexis, which allows you to search other national and regional newspapers as well as newspapers from around the world. Recent print versions of newspapers are in the popular reading section on the second floor, and copies up to a month old are on the third floor.
Can't find it here? Use interlibrary loan, but allow yourself enough time to complete your research. Give yourself two weeks to request and obtain the article.
Mansfield University is a community in the best sense of the word. We look out for each other. We push ourselves to dream big. We work hard to achieve success. We care. Mansfield welcomed its first student in 1857 – and to this day, the University continues to seek and serve students with big dreams for their futures.

I get way more email than I can keep up with. It's quite flattering, actually…("ME? you're asking ME? *squee*)
I'm glad yall trust me with your secrets and stories. I am going to try to address your email directly here throughout the week. I'm happy to offer my input or perhaps lay out some different perspectives to help you make the best choice for yourself. If I post your email, rest assured, it will be 100% anonymous.
Hey Laci. I've been dating this wonderful woman for over a year now. I know that she is bi, but it's hasn't been a problem until recently. She has mentioned to me that she wants to explore her sexuality and be with a woman. I have no actual problem with that act, hypothetically, but what I do have a problem with is the fact that we're in a relationship, which should imply a matter of devotion, right? We didn't go into our relationship looking for something polyamorous or anything of that sort (I think we both want our relationship to remain monogamous). What I'm getting to, is I want to let my girlfriend find out who she is sexually, but I also… sorta don't. I know that sounds terrible to say, but I don't see how it would be any different for me to "explore" my sexuality and be with another woman. (I'm not saying I want to do that; I really do love my girlfriend to pieces) Should she get special privilege because she's bi?
Sounds like you're having a head/heart brainfuck.
Totally understandable. It's a tricky situation you're trying to handle here.

Twenty-six years ago -- before Peter Weir started collecting Oscar nominations for movies like ''The Truman Show,'' ''Dead Poets Society,'' and ''Witness'' -- he directed a mystery called ''The Last Wave.'' Its plot was out there (it's doomsday Down Under when an Aboriginal prophesy threatens to sink Australia!) and its star was no less -- or really, no more -- than Richard Chamberlain, between gigs in ''The Towering Inferno'' and ''The Swarm.'' Nevertheless, in 1977, it did rock the world of one 13-year-old Aussie. In fact, Russell Crowe still hasn't gotten over it.
''It scared the s -- - out of me,'' says the actor, now 39, recalling the movie's impact on his fragile adolescent psyche. ''I'd never seen anything like it. It was so real to me, so huge. I thought about it for a long time afterward. And I decided from that point on I would see whatever movies this director made. That was the moment Peter Weir became my cinematic hero.''
At this particular moment (a hazy August Wednesday), Crowe's childhood hero is huddled inside a special-effects lab outside San Francisco, rushing to finish a print of his latest picture, the seafaring epic ''Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.'' Based on Patrick O'Brian's popular historical novels about life in the 19th-century British navy, with Crowe playing the violin-strumming Capt. Jack Aubrey, it's by far the most ambitious movie of Weir's 30-year career. (It cost $120 million, with three studios -- Twentieth Century Fox, Universal, and Miramax -- sharing the bill. ''It would hit me sometimes how much money we were spending,'' the 59-year-old Sydney-born director says during a break from editing. ''I'd think to myself, 'I could build a high-rise for this amount of money.' But it's all relative. I see an ugly high-rise now and think, 'I could have made a great film out of that building.'''
In some ways, Weir was an unlikely choice to helm this particular vessel. For one thing, he's never made anything more than half its size. (''The Truman Show'''s $60 million was his biggest previous budget.) He's never directed an action movie or an epic costume drama. (''Gallipoli'' comes close, but Weir made that Great War tragedy way back in 1981, so long ago not even its lead -- some kid named Mel Gibson -- was considered a star at the time.) He's never shot anything at sea, either -- or in a giant water tank in Mexico for that matter (although he did study up on the procedure, reading ''everything from how 'Jaws' was shot to how John Huston made 'Moby Dick''').
Come to think of it, Weir hasn't made a whole lot of movies of any kind since bursting on to the Aussie film scene in 1975 with ''Picnic at Hanging Rock'' (technically not his first feature, but the less said about 1974's ''The Cars That Ate Paris'' the better). His entire oeuvre -- including this latest film -- comes to a total of 12 pictures.
But, of course, those aren't just any 12 movies. Weir has directed a remarkable mix of groundbreaking hits and modest masterpieces. His films have helped launch huge careers (Lord knows where Gibson would be without him -- maybe Mel could ask him in ancient Aramaic) as well as cast established stars in bold new directions. (He certainly made Robin Williams' resume more interesting; Jim Carrey owes him a thank-you note too.) Here, what he told us about some of his cinematic gems:

About 4 weeks ago, my blood pressure started elevating and has remained high ever since about 160/99 or 160/87 etc but still generally high and they told me to watch for signs of preeclampsyia which I did. Next, I had swelling in my hands and feet but nothing major until about a week later my right foot swelled way more than my left and started spreading up my leg. They still were not worried and kept sending me home. Yesterday, I had went to the hospital because I was concerned and they had found trace of protein in my urine which made them transport me to another hospital by ambulance where they stuck me 8 times with needles to get blood and do their tests just to send me home and tell me to wait until i am 39 weeks. Today, I had my doctors appointment and now my protein in my urine is up to +1 and still they are sending me back home.... I am beyond upset and feel my doctors are not taking proper care of me and they told me "If I wanted to, I could go to the OB triage" but they never "instructed" me to do so. It seems my care is up to me... and I am beyond upset. Anyone experience this and preeclampsyia? I am worried for my safety because I am a pretty heavy girl and do not want any complications as far as my breathing to happen or anythng to happen to the baby.
Had pre-e with first pregnancy, they said head to hospital if bottom number got to 100 and if vision problems kicked in.
Ended up having him at 34 weeks because were tired of best rest, constant monitoring and dealing with one doctor in particular who wanted us to deliver at 30 weeks.
At this point I would think they would start induction at 39 week appointment.
Were you diagnosed with pre-eclampsia or did they just tell you to watch for signs of pre-e?
I recently discovered that HBP + protein in urine does not immediately mean pre-e as I thought it did (and as Google told me it did). At my 32-wk apt I had high BP and 3+ protein based on the sample I gave. My doctor issued me some BP meds and had me do a 24-hour count for my urine as he said the samples are not always good indicators. My 24-hour count came back at 1500 mg, well above the 300 mg which, when accompanied by HBP, usually indicates pre-e. I spoke with my doctor and he said we would treat it as gestational hypertension and proteinuria since I have no other indicators of pre-e. All that can be done is to continue monitoring and I was told to reduce my salt intake and increase my protein intake.
Also, you didn't mention the results of your blood tests. Did your tests come back normal? Mine did, which is one of the reasons my doctor wasn't as concerned. He said in cases of pre-e typically there are indicators in the blood work that would cause concern. I would be more concerned with your HBP than the protein in your urine. Were you not prescribed any meds to help regulate your BP? Also, if you are truly concerned about the protein you could request a 24-hour collection so that it would give you more information.
Anyway, GL and I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes more smoothly!

- Special Interests:
- Colorectal Cancer, Anal Cancer, Gastrointestinal Cancer, Digestive Surgery, General Surgery
- Accepting Patients:
- Yes
- Languages:
- English
Dr. Herzig specializes in the surgical treatment of colon and rectal diseases.
Dr. Herzig earned his medical degree from Vanderbilt University and completed his surgical residency at Brown Medical School. At Brown, he won over a dozen awards for excellence in teaching, patient care, and research, including the Outstanding Resident Physician award in his last year. He went on to complete advanced training in colon and rectal surgery, including minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy at the University of Texas, Houston. Dr. Herzig is board certified in surgery and colon and rectal surgery.
Dr. Herzig joined the faculty at OHSU in 2005. He is part of the OHSU Digestive Health Center and the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. He specializes in the treatment of both cancerous and noncancerous diseases of the colon and rectum. Dr. Herzig is committed to providing the highest quality personal service to each individual. Because of this, he has been recognized as one of "Portland's Top Doctors" and has been named as one of "America's Top Surgeons."
Cancerous diseases include colon and rectal and anal cancer. These are potentially curable cancers for many, if not most people who are affected. Individualized care is provided for each person. Whether as an initial visit, or as a second opinion after seeing another provider, Dr. Herzig will make sure each person understands their disease and all treatment options. While surgery remains the cornerstone of curing colorectal cancer, colorectal cancer care at OHSU comes from a team of people to address the complex nature of this problem, including of some of the country's best physicians in this field. In our multidisciplinary clinic, we bring together all of the experts needed in one place at one time. Patients can see their surgeon, as well as an oncologist, nutritionist, geneticist, or radiation specialist all in one visit. Care is coordinated so that each individual receives the optimal, state-of-the-art approach. Clinical trials are available, if desired, for many patients with colorectal cancer.
Noncancerous (benign) diseases include the treatment of hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal fistulae, diverticulitis, and rectal prolapse. In the treatment of benign diseases, Dr. Herzig treats each patient individually, working together to find the appropriate treatment for each person's symptoms. This can often be done with non-operative and office treatments.
Dr. Herzig's research interests include colorectal surgery outcomes and hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes. He started the state's first Colorectal Cancer Registry and has collaborated with other researchers at OHSU to continue this institution's leadership in colorectal cancer research.

Clocktower Rudding Park has good food, a pleasantly busy atmosphere and excellent staff.
A wide variety of food, both for lunch and dinner, and the ability to eat outside, in the bar or in the dining room. Plenty of choice - for a quick bite maybe big sandwiches; a choice of tapas or omelettes. For a bigger meal plenty of choice from a couple of menus (and the menus change reasonably often and there are always dishes of the day too).
Part of a country house, so a very pleasant setting, and… Read Full Review

Destroying Love
No. Love cannot be forged
Yes, Love. Love can be fatal.
It can make anyone insane.
it can derange the mind and body.
It can bleed and kill the soul.
It kills slowly.
It creeps towards the heart cautiously,
And leaves its sickly sweet venom
In the chambers of the heart
And in the veins- confusing the mind,
Letting it take pleasure in its
Deadly poison, its drug.
Love reaches the heart
And twines its thin, lithe, spidowy-like veins
Around it, and squeezes hard.
It compresses painfull and
Takes away the blood- slowly and gradually.
The heart becomes a slave
To those vine-like veins.
It beats for it, and
It only.
Slowly, though, the beats
Begin to fade,
The heart begins to slow.
No more blood.
No more soul.
No more life.
The heart grows cold.
The heart reaches, finally,
Its last dry thump and goes still and
Sits like a hollowed-out stump.
Yes, love is that cruel.
Well, its been cruel to me.
But love, mind you, can be
Oh, so, sweet.

Fishing is not an easy sport to capture in a video game. Its either very simplistic and arcadey, or very realistic and boring. This is the first fishing game that actually manages to be both realistic and fun. Dont let the cartoony visuals fool you, this is a very deep fishing game, with lots of ...more

Oak Ridge, Anderson County (WVLT) - After declining comment for most of the day, the Department of Energy just made their first public statement.
The DOE says Roy Oakley was a former contractor through Bechtel Jacobs, who had been working at Oak Ridge's East Tennessee Technology Park.
That's the former K-25 plant.
Bechtel Jacobs is overseeing the decontamination and decommissioning of the buildings that were last used in 1985.
The manager of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Site Office, Gerald Boyd says ETTP and the entire Oak Ridge reservation are protected by multiple layers of security systems, both visible and unseen, meant to identify rogue employees attempting to abuse their access and position.
"In this case, our layered approach successfully identified the individual in question, and because of the close coordination between the FBI and Dept. of Energy's Office of Counterintelligence, the FBI successfully interrupted the accused individual's apparent intentions," says Boyd says.
The DOE says they reviewed their high-risk security procedures after they were notified of the situation and Boyd says everything worked.
The DOE stresses the materials in question, were never actually transferred to a foreign government or terrorist organization and at no time was there any risk to health or safety of the public.
And one last note, the DOE wants to stress the employee did not work at Oak Ridge National Lab. That information was reported by the national media and some local media, but never by Volunteer TV News.

9 Great Freethinkers and Religious Dissenters in History
Photo Credit: Krylova Ksenia / Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
What kind of world would we have if a majority of the human race was atheist?
To hear religious apologists tell it, the triumph of atheism would mean a swift descent into selfishness and chaos. The defenders of the faith argue that atheism inevitably leads to selfishness and nihilism, and that only religion can justify charity or compassion, bind people together in community, or inspire a lively and flourishing culture. But this assertion can only be sustained by ignoring the accomplishments of famous nonreligious people throughout history, of which there have been many.
To dispel the myth that nonbelievers have never contributed anything of worth or value to human civilization, I want to highlight some who've left their mark in the arts, the sciences and the humanities. Demonstrating that the godless count distinguished members of the human race among our numbers is a way to fight back against this prejudice and to demonstrate that we, too, have a historical legacy we can be proud of.
Not all of the people profiled here were strict atheists, but all of them were freethinkers, a broader umbrella term that embraces a rainbow of unorthodoxy, religious dissent, skepticism, and unconventional thinking. It's no surprise that so many influential thinkers and creative types have come from the ranks of these intellectual revolutionaries. Organized religion tends to reward people not for thinking creatively or critically, but for reciting and defending the dogmas of the previous generation. Throughout human history, it has consistently been true that hidebound theocracies have been mired in poverty, backwardness and intellectual stagnation, whereas the most dramatic advances have come about in times and places where people had the freedom to think for themselves, to freely question and debate. The lives of the men and women recounted here bear testimony to this.
1. Albert Einstein. The archetypal scientific genius, Einstein inaugurated a revolution in physics that bears fruit to this day. His theories and equations undergird the 20th century: technologies from nuclear power to GPS satellites only exist because of his discoveries. But beyond his impressive scientific contributions, he was known as a peacemaker and civil-rights advocate: he was one of the first to warn the world of the dangers of Nazism, joined anti-lynching campaigns, publicly opposed McCarthyism, and called for nuclear disarmament worldwide. Later in life, he was offered the presidency of Israel but turned it down, saying that he was unqualified.
Einstein famously made statements like, "God does not play dice with the universe" that have inspired religious apologists to try to claim him as their own, but on other occasions, he made it clear that this was nothing but poetic metaphor. He made his views known in letters, writing, for example: "I do not believe in a personal god and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it." On another occasion, he wrote, "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."
2. Robert Ingersoll. One of the most famous Americans most people today have never heard of, Colonel Robert Green Ingersoll, known in his lifetime as the "Great Agnostic," once commanded national fame and renown. In an era before television and radio, public oratory was the leading form of entertainment, and Ingersoll set the gold standard. He was one of the most sought-after speakers in the country; he drew crowds of thousands, and on one occasion, after hearing him speak, Mark Twain observed, "What an organ is human speech when it is employed by a master!"

Not sure what you mean by "Do it! Just do it!"
As a marketing person dealing with smaller companies I cannot agree that the internet has left the smaller businesses behind.
With proper SEO one can compete on an equal footing with the major players.
You say: * Traditional print advertising is becoming less effective.
(I say it has never been all that effective without large investments into repetitive advertisements).
- Most people have thrown their Yellow Pages away and search online
- Newspaper's readership is down and many papers are declaring bankruptcy
(True and comment #1 applies here also). * With TiVo, people are skipping commercials (True, but mainstream commercials are way above the small business' budget.)
- The credit crisis of recent years has made it more difficult to "Move Markets" through traditional gimmicks
(Not certain what this has to do with the topic. The credit crunch has forced some new marketing ideas.)
- Search results are dominated by large companies
(No they are not. Search results are being dominated by relevance.)
- Search results bring information overload. Local businesses get lost
(Not if the local business targets local search.)
While the amount of pages for any given search term is constantly growing, Google is managing information overload by concentrating on relevance in it's listings.
- 97% of people with online access will research products and services online before they purchase
- 35% of all searches are done with an intent to buy
- 55% of all local searches are done with an intent to buy
- Of all local searches, 8 out of 10 call or visit a store and 60% of those result in a purchase of some kind*
All of this reinforces how important it is to get one's site SEO'd properly.
Word of mouth and referral marketing are excellent methods and will return well but one needs an awful lot of happy clients. Think of some companies that have satisfied your needs and tell me how often you go around proclaiming their value.
There is no doubt that sites like Biznic, FaceBook and Twitter like sites are providing opportunities for self promotion. Participating here is going to benefit the small business through exposure and indirectly, SEO.
What some do not see is that online marketing is becoming multi-faceted. While blog, network, forum, and social networking posts get good coverage, it is one of constant change. True you can get good SEO coverage when searching for the long tail but SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) favor the standard webpage over the blog or thread based results.
If one is going to social network market, one needs a website. If one has a website it should have well defined calls to action.
Best of luck. Reg

Fraser (email@example.com), my AzoogleAds account manager, called me about 2 weeks ago and said he had a great opportunity for me. Whenever Fraser calls I listen because he always has good news and good ideas.
This offer was brand new, something that literally had 1 person bidding in AdWords. An offer so great that I was sure to make some huge money. The only downside? It was a ringtone offer.
Don't get me wrong, I love ringtones. I'm a fan of the classics, some Alice Deejay "Better Off Alone", "Lowrider", MC Hammer's "Too Legit 2 Quit" (Is that a classic yet?).
However, making money with ringtones has never worked for me. I've tried the high paying offers, I tried the low paying offers. I bought ads with PPC through Y!SM, AdWords, AdBrite and still lost money. But for Fraser I was going to give it another chance. Maybe at least I could break even.
About a week into my campaign I wasn't getting the amount of clicks I had hoped for so I upped my bids. Then I increased my keywords. Then I rewrote my ads and deleted the ones with the worst CTR's. None of it seemed to matter, I was at a standstill.
Spend $10 make $10. Spend $50 make $50. Now take into consideration my 25% tax bracket and I'm losing money, AGAIN!
I don't know how you guys do it with ringtones, but I can't seem to steal any marketshare so I'm going to let you have it all back again.
No more keyword bidding and now more break even days. I'm going to spend my time where I know it makes a difference in my monthly paycheck!
Since I know some big players read this blog, how about leaving a comment and letting me know what I did wrong, or what I could have tried differently, maybe it will help one of my niches.
