Book Sale Donations and Volunteer Opportunities
The Friends are very grateful to all the people who have donated books over the years. This has enabled us to have thirty-eight successful book sales, and we are looking forward to another banner sale this coming October. We have to state, however, that we now have on hand as many books as we can process for this year's sale, while at the same time we are faced with the loss of some of our storage space in order to make room for the College's proposed new Archives facility. For these reasons, and out of respect for donors who have already given us their books, we must respectfully--indeed reluctantly--decline offers of further new donations at the present time. When this situation is resolved over the next several months, we will once again welcome donations of books from all interested donors.
In the meantime we thank all who have in the past supported the work of the Friends of the Library, and we add especially that the Book Sale Committee is always keen to welcome new volunteers to help throughout the year, as well as during the sale itself. Please consider becoming a member of the Friends of the Library. You may use the online membership application form included on this website.
If you need to contact the Friends of the Library for further information, or if you wish to volunteer at the book sale, please phone 416-978-6750 and leave a message. Someone will return your call.

Third-grade girl's super essay may win her some super prizes
Andy Eder may not be a real superhero, but he is in the eyes of his 9-year-old daughter, Cora.
And that may be enough for Cora, a home-schooled third-grader from High Point, to win a prize from the world's leading expert on superheroes, DC Comics.
Cora is one of five national finalists in the "Be a Super Hero. Read!" writing competition, sponsored by DC Comics, the creator of such superheroes as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
"They said to write about a hero, and I picked Daddy," Cora said of her essay.
Cora wrote that her dad, an officer with the Greensboro Police Department — and an Army veteran who was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and 2005 — is a real-life hero because he not only looks after his family, but takes care of people, too.
"He is a crime fighter, catching criminals so he can save all the good people in the city," she wrote. "He's smart, honest and brave, like a super hero. ... He is my hero because it's a dangerous job, but he loves helping people."
The winning essay will be chosen through an online vote that will continue through Monday, with the winner being announced May 30.
Cora won $150 worth of books just for being named a finalist. If she wins the grand prize, she'll get a VIP trip for four to California, where she'll receive an exclusive tour of DC Entertainment offices — the home of Superman and Batman — as well as a tour of the Warner Brothers Animation Studios and a $2,500 charitable donation to the cause of her dad's choice.
Andy Eder said Cora's essay touched him deeply.
"It's always nice to hear your kids say 'I love you,'" he said, "but when you read how they feel about you, that's a whole different thing."

High Point third-grader Cora Eder is one of five national finalists in the "Be a Super Hero. Read!" writing contest sponsored by DC Comics.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: AUSTIN—Amherst Securities Group LP, a financial services provider to institutional investors in the mortgage sector, announced Dan Derby joined the company as a vice president of fixed income securities.
Derby has more than 15 years experience in the mortgage backed securities market, primarily covering depository institutions. He will be based in Amherst's Chicago office.
"Dan is an exceptional addition to our firm," said Dan Hoffman at Amherst Securities. "His experience, particularly in working with depository institutions, makes him an excellent fit to our talented sales team as we look to grow the fixed income expertise and services we offer to meet our clients' needs."
Derby joins Amherst from Raymond James and Associates, where he was a vice president focused on institutional fixed income sales, primarily with agency and non-agency mortgage backed securities. He was formerly at RBS Greenwich Capital for eight years and prior to that spent four years at Mercantile Bank. Derby received a bachelor's degree in economics from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

A Monroe County sheriff's deputy responded to a call of possible human bones found in the backyard of a foreclosed house in the 3100 block of Summerfield Rd. on Thursday.
Deputy Ryan Sottile responded to the scene after two men from a cleanup crew found the bones in a black garage bag in the backyard.
The men were cleaning out the backyard of the home when they found the garbage bag. One of the workers lifted the bag up and unknown bones spilled out, according to sheriff's reports. The other worker called police immediately.
The bones were examined by forensic anthropologist Dr. Julie Saul and were determined to be bones from a deer.

Election 2012: Your stories
Presidential Debate #1: The Day After – Obama Finds His Groove
With a spirited entrance, President Obama came on stage and showed he had clearly got his groove back. He was relaxed, articulate, funny, and serious from a debate less than 24 hours earlier. He started his speech by immediately poking jabs directly at Romney. President Obama said, "I just flew in from Denver, and I was telling folks, when I got on the stage, I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney. But I know it couldn't have been Mitt Romney, because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country for the last year promising $5 trillion in tax cuts that favor the wealthy, and yet the fellow on the stage who looked like Mitt Romney said he did not know anything about that."
The crowd applauded and cheered with approval. He continued by saying, "Whoever it was on stage last night doesn't want to be held accountable for what the real Mitt Romney has been saying for the last year, and that's because he knows full well that we don't want what he's been selling over the last year. Governor Romney may dance around his positions, he may do a tap dance and a two-step, but if you want to be President, then you owe the American people the truth."
Although the rally was held on the UW-Madison campus, the audience was more than just students as attendees included ages from the very young to the elderly, each waiting to see how the President would react from the previous evening.
The President continued his attack by pointing out the math in Romney's tax plan doesn't add up. "So here's the truth. Governor Romney cannot pay for his $5 trillion tax plan without blowing up the deficit or sticking it to the middle class. We can't afford to go down that road again. We can't afford another round of budget-busting tax cuts for the wealthy."
President Obama also focused on the plight of America's middle class and offered his own perspective saying, "We have a different view about how to create jobs and prosperity. This country doesn't succeed when only the rich get richer. We succeed when everybody has a shot, when the middle class is getting bigger, when there are ladders of opportunity into the middle class. Our economy does not grow from the top down- it grows from the middle out. That's how it grows."
The President continued by saying, "We don't believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country, but we do believe in opportunity. We do believe in a country where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, where everybody is getting a fair shot and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody is playing by the same rules. That's the country we believe in. That's what I've been fighting for, for the last four years. That's why I'm running for a second term as President of the United States."
During his speech in Madison, President Obama focused on education and teachers. He pointed out, "The real Mitt Romney said that we don't need any more teachers in the classroom."
The crowd booed, to which the President responded, "Don't boo – vote!" President Obama used that exchange several times in his speech. He continued by "calling out" Romney's new view on education by saying, "But the fellow on stage last night, he said he loves teachers -- can't get enough of them." The large audience laughed in unison.
President Obama ended his speech by saying, "I believe in you. I'm asking you to keep believing in me. I'm asking for your vote. And if you stand with me, and work with me, we will win Madison again. We'll win Wisconsin again. We will win the election again. We'll finish what we started in 2008, and remind the world why the United States of America is the greatest nation on Earth."
As the crowd cheered loudly and with high energy, it was clear that one day did make a positive difference in the Obama campaign. The Vice-President debate is up next, followed by the second Presidential debate. If the aura of President Obama on this day is any indication, Debate #2 will likely provide a much different look and dynamic for the viewing audience. Stay tuned.

Out-of-control government spending continues, unimpeded by Republicans who helped Democrats to pass the cromnibus spending bill.
Attorney General Eric Holder has decided not to force New York Times reporter James Risen to reveal the source of classified information he published, a Justice Department source told reporters.
The omnibus bill passed only with the help of Obama, liberal Democrats, and mainline Republicans with poor memories about promises they made to their constituents.
A House committee has discovered e-mails showing that officials at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation — working closely with Eric Holder's DOJ — schemed to destroy lawful businesses they found morally objectionable.
Bill Cassidy, runoff winner of Mary Landrieu's U.S. Senate seat for Louisiana, is no constitutional statesman, but just another loyal Republican Party follower.

Apple's iPhone: The Future is Hereby Anand Lal Shimpi on July 2, 2007 6:13 PM EST
- Posted in
- Smartphones
- Mobile
An Ode to the Screen
While I was writing this review, Derek Wilson, our resident GPU guru gave me a call to chat about his upcoming DirectX 10 performance piece. Inevitably he snuck in some questions about the iPhone, but the thing he wanted to know the most was "is the screen as good as it looks in the commercials?"
It looks that good
The answer is unequivocally yes. In fact, in taking pictures for this article I had to redo a number of shots because the camera would pick out details in the LCD display that simply weren't visible to the naked eye. Capturing the beauty of the screen is really a tough job, but it really does look just as good in person as it does in Apple's own commercials/videos.
The screen also gets every bit as nasty as you'd expect it to, given that the iPhone works by rubbing your fingers all over it. The unexpected part of it all is that with the backlight on, you can't tell that smudges from three different people are all over the 3.5" screen. The only time you really notice how disgusting the screen has gotten is when the device is asleep, unfortunately it'll take more than just a wipe of the cleaning cloth to get all the grease off of it. Apple recommends turning the unit off and using a slightly damp cloth, while avoiding all harsh cleaners/abrasives.
Uh, ew?
At the same time, the device doesn't feel like a fragile jewel, it feels like what a modern day smartphone should feel like. It feels like something straight out of Star Trek. Videos cropped up over the weekend showing all the things you could do to the iPhone without scratching the screen, and honestly when using it you get the impression that you'd really have to try to damage this thing.
By default the iPhone's brightness is adjusted by an ambient light sensor similar to what's in Apple's MacBook Pro line. Indoors the display is absolutely beautiful, but obviously things change once you head outdoors. Outside the display isn't nearly as bad as the Samsung Blackjack, but it gets more difficult to see. Thankfully it's still usable, despite being washed out.

Anand Lal Shimpi - Tuesday, July 03, 2007 - linkSeriously, the PDF looked shockingly good. Once you stretch to zoom in so you can actually read the slides, it's amazing. Yes, I realized being excited about how good a PDF looks on a phone is silly, but I figure after waiting in line for five hours for said phone, I've got nothing more to lose :)
Take care,
Griswold - Tuesday, July 03, 2007 - linkYou can't make videos on the phone, you can't copy/paste, there's no IM client, you can't replace the battery on your own, you can't add applications to it, there's no Flash/Java support, it's heavy and the list goes on. But here's the catch: there isn't a phone out today (smart or not) that doesn't have at least as long of a list of issues.
But for a price tag like this, I expect a shorter list. And unfortunately, many of the things on this list are important to me.
Still, after being so skeptic about the iphone, I'd still like to have one (yea, it does have this star trek datapad feeling!!) but due to the flaws and shortcomings, i'll just wait for the next incarnation that will most likely hit the street within a year.
I dont believe in early adopting gear from a company with zero experience on this particular field, and while apple did most of their homework, my motto (rightfully) stands.
The next iphone will most likely be much better suited for me. Reply

Locutus465 - Tuesday, July 03, 2007 - linkI do love the looks of the iPhone... However if everything I hear about it is true then it would not interest me. Complete lack of 3rd party software support? If this is true then yikes! I've got my Windows Mobile phone running with quite a bit of 3rd party software and for me that's a huge must... Like my Trillian like all in one chat client, Pocket Putty, CISCO VPN client and of course, pocket mahjoong (spelling?).
Also, I've heard for a closed system they missed the boat on what would be some truely killer features (which could be solved via allowing 3rd party software). For instance it has (google?) maps, yet from what I hear no GPS integration? Why not? At least in windows mobile you have options (though yes, it's not built into that platform either).
It would however, be nice to see more cell companies consentrate on end user experience... It's appriciated that is for sure. Reply

Around Texas
- A March employee confidence survey by Spherion indicates that more Texas workers are optimistic about the future of their employer. Seventy-seven percent of workers reported confidence, an increase of nine percentage points from December.
- Lubbock appeared on U.S. News and World Report's list of 10 Best Cities for Job-Seeking Retirees.
- Lockheed Martin will locate its Altair program office in Houston to provide support for NASA's next-generation human lunar lander system, the agency's project to transport and house up to four astronauts onto the moon's surface.
New report calls for more skilled work force training.
Several years ago, instructors at Howard College in San Angelo learned something new: It was becoming harder for area industries to find skilled workers.
Area businesses identified a shortage of health care professionals. A committee of health care providers and representatives from the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce, Concho Valley Workforce Board, City of San Angelo Development Corporation, Howard College, Angelo State University and San Angelo Independent School District came together and coordinated an aggressive marketing campaign to attract students.
"In Texas, there is no one-size-fits-all
model of education."
– Susan Combs, Texas Comptroller
Later, the committee identified a shortage of welders. A welding survey was developed to determine the needs of area companies, and Howard College's Workforce Training department used the results to develop advanced welding courses to meet the needs of local employers.
"We went from having about six or seven students in our welding classes to having 12, with a waiting list for more students that we hope to add when we have the space," says Jamie Rainey, division director of Workforce Training at Howard College, which partnered with businesses to identify work force demands.
What educators in San Angelo discovered echoed the findings of the Texas Comptroller's Texas Works report, which outlines critical shifts in the U.S. and Texas economy that call for swift action to avoid work force shortages in several key industries across the state. Changing demographics and shifting educational attainment rates may mean a shortage in skilled technical workers, according to the report, which also outlines several key steps and initiatives to offset the trend and educate students and parents about the many paths to success.
Industries, Colleges Team Up to Train Northeast Texas Work Force
Three community colleges, 14 manufacturing companies, Workforce Solutions of Northeast Texas and the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC): Put their resources together you get the Regional Advanced Manufacturing Academy (RAMA), which delivers thousands of hours of training for new and existing employees in Northeast Texas.
Paris Junior College (PJC), Texarkana and Northeast Texas community colleges each have centers of excellence that conduct different types of training, says Kevin Rose, PJC dean of workforce education. Paris delivers manufacturing processes; Texarkana is the center for logistics; and Northeast's center of excellence is quality assurance and safety.
The $1.2 million TWC skills development grant funds training for manufacturers located in each college's service area, including Campbell Soups, International Paper, Kimberly-Clark, Diamond C Trailers and Sara Lee.
Campbell Soup's Vice President of Operations Mike Winkler says the synergy between the manufacturers, colleges and economic development officials has been key to developing successful programs.
His company already employs more than 800 people in Paris, where it has had a presence since 1964. The addition of a new V8 juice production line means Winkler needs to find another 60 to 70 employees in an area with already low unemployment.
Campbell's employees take a self-paced online safety, maintenance skills and supply chain logistics course, and are then tested accordingly.
"It's not specific to equipment but it improves problem-solving skills," Winkler says. "That helps workers when they learn to operate the systems used on the production lines." FN

Winds of Change
During the 1940s, the U.S. economy was saved largely by a boom in the industrial sector thanks to World War II. Orders for war materials spurred industrialization and brought new life and revenue to a battered economy.
Within a few decades, though, after a significant increase in prosperity, the nation's economy became information-based. The need for college graduates skyrocketed, and educators and parents scrambled to route more students into four-year universities.
Today, attention continues to focus on encouraging students to earn four-year university degrees. And while Texas' diverse business climate requires college graduates to participate in its engineering, medical, telecommunication and education sectors, there is growing demand for more technically skilled workers. If it goes unmet, this demand could have a dramatic effect on the state economy.
One Size Doesn't Fit All
As the nation's leader in job creation, Texas has a high demand for workers. Educators and parents are tasked with making the right information and resources available to provide the best type of education for their children and students.
The blanket four-year university approach assumes that if university education is promoted strongly enough, all students will attend. The reality, however, is that many students will choose not to attend universities, no matter the promotion. And there is a tremendous mismatch between the number of advanced degrees and jobs requiring them.
"In Texas, there is no one-size-fits-all model of education," says Texas Comptroller Susan Combs. "Students have a diverse set of needs and career aspirations, and right now, our system doesn't fully reflect that."
Big Demand
Many baby boomers who staffed vocational positions have retired in recent years, leaving some areas in a bind. Corpus Christi, Port Arthur and other cities are reeling from a shortage of welders. If this trend continues, employers may be forced to relocate to areas with more readily trained work forces.
In 2007, more than 80 percent of all Texas jobs did not require a bachelor's degree. Similarly, demand for skilled workers far outweighed job openings, with 43,715 openings for 36,442 technical school graduates that year.
Even more alarming: Jobs requiring bachelor's degrees and above had 104,054 graduates competing for about 85,000 openings that year.
But policy and revenue streams may be hampering the ability of many community colleges to support more students. State appropriations for community colleges are not keeping pace with demand for student hours. After accounting for inflation, formula funding appropriations declined by 23 percent per hour over the last decade. Considering that enrollment increased 3.4 percent annually at Texas community colleges over 10 years, state spending per student increased by only 1 percent per year, putting reliance on local funding.

Demographic Changes Affecting Who Goes to College
The economy is having a big impact on the number of people coming to us looking for opportunities," Rainey says.
Texas population projections predict a less educated work force and fewer skilled workers if trends continue. The State Data Center predicts an overall decline in the educational attainment of the Texas labor force by 2040. That same year, a larger percentage of the Texas work force, about 30 percent, will have no high school diploma.
But by giving students several options for post-secondary studies, the Texas Works report finds the state could increase interest in technical training.
Education Pushes Salary, Economy
For technical certificate jobs paying more than $37,187 annually, the 2007 median earnings was $46,616 – far more than the $32,000 median salary of a Texan with just a high school diploma.
"Our top graduates from the chemical-environmental, computer drafting and design, dental hygiene and telecommunications career fields find starting jobs with annual salaries ranging from about $48,500 to $58,000," says Keri Gutierrez of Texas State Technical College at Harlingen.
LIT Partnership Means Better Trained, Higher Paid Texans
The Lamar Institute of Technology's (LIT) Workforce Training Department has helped numerous businesses create specialized curriculum to enhance the skills of their employees.
Southeast Texas Industries (STI), a multi-million dollar petrochemical business, sought out LIT when the company decided to enhance the skills of its structural pipefitters.
Robert Woodard, a training leader for STI, said his company has benefited a great deal from the partnership.
"LIT is a great value, and we are very pleased with the outcome of the classes," Woodard says.
The result: better-trained employees with more marketable skills.
STI employees were being paid, on average, between $9.50 and $13 an hour. After training, they earned between $14 and $20.75 per hour as structural steel fitters.
For the past 10 years, the number of students taking classes through the LIT Workforce Department has risen from 1,100 to 3,338. FN

Austin Community College Powers the Future
Tommy Whiteaker's story is one of reinvention. The Austin native graduated from the University of Texas in 2001 with a degree in communications and immediately entered the work force. After a few jobs, though, Whiteaker felt an imbalance in his professional life. He needed something more.
One brochure from Austin Community College later and his life took a transformation after entering the college's renewable energy program.
"This program puts the theory into practice," he says, speaking of his coursework in circuit design, digital logic and mechanical systems that will prepare him for careers ranging from solar panel technician to electrical engineer.
Whiteaker and his classmates hit the books and then hit the labs for hands-on technical work in preparation for entering one of the fastest-growing industries in the nation.
"The faculty are great. They come from industry and work hard to prepare you for the field," he says.
Whiteaker is interning with Austin Energy, which not only offers valuable on-the-job work experience to accompany his academics, but provides the opportunity for him to make an early name for himself in the industry he plans to work in soon. FN
Check out Austin Community College's Renewable Energy Program.
Powering the Solution
The Texas Works report calls for greater collaboration between the Texas Education Agency, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the Texas Workforce Commission and the Comptroller's office to ensure Texas students are aware of all postsecondary educational options, including career and technical education (CTE).
In addition, the state should ensure policies such as the new "four-by-four" policy, which requires Texas high school students to enroll in four years each of math, science, language and social studies programs, don't discourage students from enrolling in career and technology courses.
Strategic funding will also play a major role in offsetting a misbalanced work force. The Comptroller's office would like to see up to $10 million in grants over the biennium earmarked for existing programs that help low-income students attend community college and technical work force programs and $10 million to be dedicated to help start CTE programs geared toward high-growth industries and occupations.
"Our focus is to make certain we're getting a positive return on our work force investment," Combs says. FN

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, June 1999
An extensive thermodynamic study has been carried out on aqueous solutions obtained through successive dilutions and succussions of 1% in weight of some solutes up to extremely diluted solutions, (less than 1x10-5 mol kg-1) obtained via several 1/100 successive dilution processes.
The interaction of acids or bases with the extremely diluted solutions has been studied calorimetrically at 25°C.
Measurements have been performed of the heats of mixing of acid or basic solutions, having different concentrations, with bidistilled water or with the extremely diluted solutions.
Despite the extreme dilution of the solutions, an exothermic heat of mixing in excess has been found, in about the 92% of the cases, with respect to the corresponding heat of mixing with the untreated solvent.
Here [it is shown] that successive dilutions and succussions may alter permanently the physical-chemical properties of the solvent water.

Which topic is this from?
However, let's nevertheless look at what you write:
ANNALS ONLINE -- Sign In Page
Unfortunately, I cannot access it, as access is not free.
However, we can see from your quote that these solutions are "less than 1x10-5 mol kg-1", which would correspond to 3C (that is 1X10-6). We also see that they could only detect anything in 92% of the cases. Since such a reaction is either there or not, we must conclude that the mentioned dilution is close to the noise-floor for the measurement method they use (otherwise they would see 100%).
So, bases and acids react to each other, even when diluted. What else is new?

There are several branches of homeopathic prescribing that are permissible in classical homeopathy. One of them we refer to as 'Specifics'. This means that certain remedies have shown in clinical practice to be effective in (or specific to) one particular complaint. For example, Arnica is the first remedy we think of for bruising after injury. The specific remedy won't be effective in every case but in a sufficient number of cases to justify trying it first with the intention of looking for a more individualized prescription if it does not produce the desired result.
When we are forced to prove our medicine's efficacy through clinical trials we are required to select one remedy and prove it can be effective in the treatment of one particular condition. The opportunity to individualize is removed so we have to use specifics. Individualization is so fundamental to the homeopathic prescription that we are crippled without it. This can't be overemphasized. In fact I believe I am right in saying that Gina would argue the use of Specifics is not true homeopathy at all for exactly this reason- there is little or no individualization.
Let's take an example. Say we are doing a trial for migraine headaches.
First we have to find look at our cured cases for people with migraine headaches. Then we look at what remedies were prescribed in these cases. We find in 100 cases we used 20 different remedies in total but 40% of them responded to the remedy Natrum Muriaticum. So we select that remedy for the trial.
Then we do the trial. Don't forget only Nat. Mur. is used for every patient in the trial. Let's say the results show that 35% of subjects reported a significant improvement in symptoms after taking the remedy. The trial concludes that (crippled) homeopathy has an effect above that of placebo. Great! I'm happy!!!
But this is less than half the story. What would happen if a skilled homeopath were then allowed to individualize the 65% of cases that reported no improvement and prescribe any remedy he or she felt was indicated? I would expect that around 80% of these remaining cases would report a significant improvement.
Facts 30 and 32 do appear to contradict each other. But in FACT 30 Gina is explaining that we are forced to restrict ourselves to the use of Specifics in double blind trials and in Fact 32 he emphasizes that these are not a true measure of homeopathy's effectiveness because they make no allowances for the individualization that is so crucial for a successful homeopathic prescription.

Kenneth Ray Waters, 55, of Catawba, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2011, at his residence. Burke Mortuary in Newton is serving the Waters family.
John Weatherly, 86, of Kings Mountain, formerly of Newton, passed away Jan. 22, 2011. Cecil M. Burton Funeral Home and Crematory is serving the family of Weatherly.
Catawba County Schools' teachers may not see their performance-based supplement for the 2011-12 school year.
In CCS interim superintendent Glenn Barger's proposed local budget for the upcoming school year, the largest cut is $800,000, from the instruction performance category. The reduction comes from a lack of county funding, he said. If the reduction is approved, it may protect teaching positions.
"All county agencies were told to cut 5 percent," Barger said. "That is painful."
It's no secret that these are hard times for Catawba County residents.
But what some people may not know is that these are also hard times for the organizations who serve the county's needy residents.
Crisis services at Eastern Catawba Cooperative Christian Ministries increased about 40 percent from this time last year, according to the Rev. Robert Silber, ECCCM executive director. The ministry provided 317 services Monday, which increased from 232 during the same time last year.
Lincoln County sheriff's deputies arrested two men Saturday for multiple counts of felony breaking and entering, and the Catawba County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday that the men could face additional charges for similar break-ins in the Sherrills Ford community.
Bobby Lee Fish Jr., 30, of Catawba, and Richard Allen Champion Jr., 22, of Lincolnton, were each charged with 18 counts of felony breaking and entering a watercraft, one count of felony conspiracy to commit larceny and one count of felony larceny.
West Eighth Street in Newton, between Deal and Ashe avenues, will be closed Tuesday for about five hours.
The closure came at the request of the Newton Water Department at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Despite little state and county funding, Catawba County Schools remains on stable financial ground.
One important part of the fiscal year 2009-10 audit is the school system's general fund balance increased $1.7 million from 2009's audit. The new general fund balance is $6.2 million.
The general fund is the school system's primary fund for operating expenses and some minor facility needs.
"We increased our available fund balance," said Sandra Wolfe, CCS finance director. "We looked at what's happening in the state and are conservative in our funding."
In just a few short days, a World Series star will be speaking in the area.
Texas Rangers first basemen Mitch Moreland will be the highlight of the 2011 Hot Stove Banquet presented by the Hickory Crawdads on Thursday, Jan. 27 at Rock Barn Golf and Spa.
Tickets for the event are available now and cost $35. Discount group tickets are also available and cost $200 for eight tickets.
The 25-year-old Moreland was a participant in the Texas Rangers amazing postseason, in which they reached the 2010 World Series as champions of the American League.
Ava Anderson is a miracle baby.
That's what her parents, Alicia and Matt, will tell you.
Alicia, 28, and Matt, 31, both of Lincolnton, unsuccessfully tried to become parents for two years before Ava was born in September 2009.
The proud parents were blessed with a baby girl who is not only healthy, but worthy of a magazine cover, according to Oak Island Accommodations.
Ava, now 16 months old, is one of eight children who are finalists to appear on the cover of the 2011 Beach Times magazine.
Rheita Lee Setzer Rome, 77, of Newton, died Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011, at Palliative CareCenter and Hospice of Catawba Valley. A memorial service was held Sunday, Jan. 23, 2011, at Burke Mortuary Chapel in Newton with the Rev. Jim Church officiating.
Clyde S. Shook, 60, of Newton, died unexpectedly Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011, at Catawba Valley Medical Center. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at Drum Funeral Home & Cremation Services in Conover.
In 2009-10, Catawba County Schools reduced positions for 69 teachers, 113 teacher assistants, four custodians and three literary coaches.
With North Carolina facing a more than $3 billion budget shortfall, CCS leaders face yet another year of difficult budget decisions — including personnel cuts and reductions.

Comments about Red Cat Contact Lens, 1 lens per Vial:
I thought these contacts would be really great for Halloween but when I tried them on the slant that gives it the cat eye impression never stayed straight up and down. The cat eye slant would move since your contacts naturally rotate in your eyes to stay moist. I would never recommend this contact or others like it to anyone.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The National Hockey League announced on Friday afternoon that the 2011 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic will move from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m ET on Saturday night.
The decision to move the game back was based on the latest meteorological reports, which show an approaching front of potentially steady rain expected to fall through the afternoon and taper off by early evening.
As a result of the rain, there are a number of weather-related game procedure contingencies for the 2011 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic. Read more

The perfect way to bring elegance to your dinner table! Designer Monique Lhuillier took inspiration from the floral majesty of roses to create the Sunday Rose pattern. The result is an elegant dinnerware collection that combines great beauty with timeless sophistication.
This five-piece place setting includes everything needed for one guest's full dinner service: Three beautiful fine china plates and a cup with saucer.

Care Instructions:
It is perfectly safe to wash your dinnerware in an automatic dishwasher as long as you adhere to the following guidelines: Load the washer so that pieces do not touch each other, to avoid the risk of scratching. Do not overload. Wash at 149`F maximum - the "short wash" or "china and crystal" cycle is sufficient for normal cleaning. As soon as the wash water has drained away, there should be an immediate rinse cycle to flush away deposits of detergent, which will form a film if allowed to dry on the ware.

September 07, 2011 — Rosa Gonzalez-Guarda, Ph.D., R.N., an assistant professor at the University of Miami, School of Nursing & Health Studies, has won a competitive grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to develop, manualize, and test an intervention for preventing teen dating violence among Hispanics. Gonzalez-Guarda is one of just 12 nurse educators from around the country to receive the three-year $350,000 Nurse Faculty Scholar award this year. It is given to junior faculty who show outstanding promise as future leaders in academic nursing. The grant period begins next month.
"Being named a RWJF Nurse Faculty Scholar is a huge honor," Gonzalez-Guarda said. "As a Nurse Faculty Scholar, I am looking forward to being connected to other scholars as well as an extraordinary network of mentors and resources. I am doubly thrilled because so many of my professional role models through the years have had a connection to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Under the program's guidance, I hope to become a better faculty member and leader in my institution and area of research."
For her research project, JOVEN: Juntos Opuestos a la Violencia Entre Novios [Together Against Teen Dating Violence], Gonzalez-Guarda will develop a community-based participatory intervention addressing the prevention of teen dating violence among Hispanic ninth graders. The first phase of her study will include a community forum and focus groups with students, parents and school staff to assess their opinions and perceptions regarding what should be included in an effective teen dating violence prevention program. Gonzalez-Guarda will develop and manualize the intervention based on this input. In the second phase of the study she will implement the intervention and assess its impact.
"Hispanic youth are at a higher risk for teen dating violence and in the future face greater risk of domestic violence," Gonzalez-Guarda said. "From my previous experiences working to prevent domestic violence in the community, I know that this work is important to the health of the Hispanics and the country more broadly."
Gonzalez-Guarda's selection comes as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is embarking on a collaborative campaign to transform the nursing profession to improve health and health care. Based on the recommendations from a groundbreaking Institute of Medicine nursing report released last year—The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, RWJF is spearheading the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action to engage nurses and non-nurses in a nationwide effort to overhaul the nursing profession. The campaign is working to implement solutions to the challenges facing the nursing profession and to build upon nurse-based approaches to improving quality and transforming the way Americans receive health care. Dr. Gonzalez-Guarda was one of six nurses that served on the IOM committee that issued the Future of Nursing report and now has the incredible opportunity to lead efforts to advance the health of Hispanics through her RWJF funded program of research.
Her mentors are: Doris Ugarriza, Ph.D., A.R.N.P., a professor in the School of Nursing & Health Studies, and Guillermo Prado, Ph.D., an associate tenured professor in the School of Medicine's Department of Epidemiology & Public Health.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Faculty Scholars program aims to strengthen the academic productivity and overall excellence of nursing schools by developing the next generation of national leaders in academic nursing. Supporting junior nurse faculty will help curb a shortage of nurse educators that could undermine the health and health care of all Americans. The Affordable Care Act will vastly increase the number of people who can access health care in the United States. As the number of patients increases, there will be greater demand for skilled nurses and faculty to educate them. Right now, many schools of nursing are turning away qualified applicants because they lack the faculty to teach them.
The RWJF Nurse Faculty Scholars program is helping to curb the shortage by helping more junior faculty succeed in, and commit to, academic careers. The program provides talented junior faculty with salary and research support as well as the chance to participate in institutional and national mentoring activities, leadership training, and networking events with colleagues in nursing and other fields, while continuing to teach and provide institutional, professional and community service at their universities.
The program will also enhance the stature of the scholars' academic institutions, which will benefit fellow nurse educators seeking professional development opportunities.
To receive the award, scholars must be registered nurses who have completed a research doctorate in nursing or a related discipline and who have held a tenure-eligible faculty position at an accredited nursing school for at least two and no more than five years.
This is the fourth cohort of Nurse Faculty Scholars. Many members of the first three cohorts have been published and recognized for outstanding work since they were accepted into the program.
The Nurse Faculty Scholars program is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and administered through the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. It is directed by Jacquelyn Campbell, Ph.D., R.N., F.A.A.N., who is the Anna D. Wolf chair and professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing.
