White Bird and Tree Jewelry Stand
Love this!
A friend recommended that World Market had some earring trees to store my multiple, multiple earrings in a place I could actually see them. I couldn't be more thrilled with her recommendation! The jewelry stand looks stunning! I was eager to place all my earrings on it and was not disappointed. It is a great decoration piece as well as a way to see all my jewelry. I actually ordered one for my friend that recommended I get one and she loves it too. :) Thanks, guys!
August 4, 2013
Love it!
This jewelry stand is perfect! It's also HUGE and fits a lot of jewelry! Couldn't have asked for anything better.
July 12, 2013
Exactly what I was looking for
I have been searching for a jewelry display/storage piece for months (years?), and when I saw this tree stand, I knew that my search was over. The store had this item in a bronze-metallic color. Between the branches, leaves, and the tray-dish, this jewelry stand holds everything. My only MINOR complaint is that I wish the stand had a couple of higher branches so I could space out my necklaces and prevent tangling. But again, it's such a minor issue in the face of HOW PERFECT this item is. Once you hang everything, the stand itself turns into a statement piece. Just be careful of the leaves -- they're pointy and sharp!

Petrified Forest National Park Air Quality Information
Both local and distant air pollutant sources affect air quality in Petrified Forest NP. Large power plants in Navajo, Coconino, and Apache counties in Arizona and San Juan and McKinley counties in New Mexico are the largest nearby point sources of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Pollutants also travel great distances to the park from industrial and urban areas of southern California, southern Arizona, and northern Mexico.
Air quality related values (AQRVs) of Petrified Forest NP are those resources that are potentially sensitive to air pollution, and include vegetation, wildlife, soils, and visibility. The park has no surface waters. At present, visibility has been identified as the most sensitive AQRV in the park. Small air pollution particles cause haze and obscure visibility in the park. The ability of visitors to see the subtle pastel colors of the Painted Desert may be particularly sensitive to changes in haziness.
As part of the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) network, visual air quality in Petrified Forest NP has been monitored using an aerosol sampler (1988 through the present), transmissometer (1987 through the present), and 35mm camera (1987 to 1994). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's new Regional Haze regulations require States to establish goals for each Class I air quality area to improve visibility on the haziest days and ensure no degradation occurs on the clearest days. An analysis of 1990-1999 data indicates that visibility in Petrified Forest NP has neither improved nor degraded significantly during that time.
There is little information available on the sensitivity of soils or vegetation in Petrified Forest NP to atmospheric deposition of sulfur and nitrogen. Soils are likely to be well-buffered from acidification effects; however, soils and vegetation may be sensitive to deposition of nitrogen compounds. In some parts of the country, nitrogen deposition has caused changes in soil nutrient cycling and vegetation species composition.
Wet deposition of sulfur and nitrogen compounds has been monitored in Petrified Forest NP since 2002 as part of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN). Insufficient data are available to detect trends; however, at many sites on the Colorado Plateau, sulfur in wet deposition is decreasing and nitrogen is increasing. The site ID is AZ97. Dry deposition has been monitored at Petrified Forest NP since 2002 as part of the Clean Air Status and Trends Networks (CASTNet).
Several plant species that occur in Petrified Forest are known to be sensitive to atmospheric ozone (e.g., Rhus trilobata) although the specific genotypes found in the park have not been tested under controlled conditions for sensitivity. Plants in the park have not been evaluated systematically for ozone injury.
Ozone concentrations have been monitored in Petrified Forest NP from 1987-1991 and from late 2002 to the present. An analysis of the data indicates that, although average ozone concentrations were too low to cause any impact on sensitive species, the peak concentrations were sufficient to affect sensitive species. Cumulative exposures were near the lower threshold for effects on sensitive species. During the period 1987-1991, the park consistently had higher peak concentrations than any other park or monument on the Colorado Plateau. The data record from late 2002 to the present is not sufficient for trend analysis. However, an analysis of 1990-1999 ozone data from other parks on the Colorado Plateau (e.g., Mesa Verde, Canyonlands, and Grand Canyon ) shows a significant increasing trend in ozone concentrations. Recent estimates for Petrified Forest NP indicate that current ozone concentrations may be sufficient to induce injury on sensitive species. Sulfur dioxide concentrations were monitored from 1988 to 1993 and the measured values were far below any threshold of suggested sensitivity for any plants.
Additional information on in-park emissions at Petrified Forest NP is available in 2000 Air Emission Inventory- Petrified Forest National Park (September 2001). Disclaimer: Links within the above document were valid as of the date published.
Additional information relative to air quality and air quality related values at Petrified Forest NP is available in D. Binkley et al. 1997. Status of Air Quality and Related Values in Class I National Parks and Monuments of the Colorado Plateau. National Park Service. Denver, CO.

MPD Book Cover Review: Chicago Cubs Cookbook
CUBBIES August 11th, 2010
It is said that looking into Derrek Lee's eyes will reveal your future. Unfortunately, the Cubs future is always the same.
Let's make Tyler Colvin make a stupid face. No, let's make Tyler Colvin make a stupid face and put a red pepper right in front of his nose! Yeah, it's not like he's our most marketable player or anything.
Hi, I'm Koyie Hill. No, I don't know why I am on the cover of this either.
Hey, let's get Fukudome in there and give him some chopsticks. Get it? Because he's Asian!
It's-a me, Dempster! I hope-a you like a spicy meatball!
You know who we should put on this cover? Alfonso Soriano. I know he's routinely booed at Wrigley Field and he still has four years and almost $70 million left on his untradeable contract, but still. I feel like he should be on there. Maybe something with a lime? He is Dominican, you know. Those people love limes.
I figured so what if he's had a few anger issues? He apologized; Carlos should hold the knife.
Just look at Ted Lilly; he just looks like he's going to be traded to the Dodgers by the time this book comes out.
Two catchers? Really?
Seriously, Dempster is such a douche.

I go by Sea Lights and I am a 38 year old wife and mother of three girls and I am from Texas. I have been in crafts and arts all my life, from hand sewing, to paints to carpentry. I have learned how to do digital arts over the past 10 years or so. I started scrapbook my senior year in high school. I really enjoy it and all the time it takes to create and make one book. I started my own business in graphic design back in 2010. Mainly working on branding and business cards. Now I am wanting to see if I can add digital scrapbooking and greeting cards to my business. I made my parents each an ancestry book for Christmas last year and did the who project digital. I found it was very rewarding for me not only to do something nice for my parents but also the work that was done came out really nice and worth all the time and effort put into it. I am always open to new ideas and advice.
Nice to meet Everyone,

Rating: 3.00 out of 5 votes cast
too big
I usually take a size 6.5, sometimes can go up to a 7. I ordered my size and they are so big there his a HUGE gap in the back. I have tried a bunch of different insoles, but think they are going to have to go back. Too bad, the green is great!
These are very pretty shoes, but the sizing is way off. I bought a half size larger than usual because my fee have been hurting lately, thinking I could put a memory foam insert in it. Bad, bad idea. They were so big, I put 2 full size inserts in each shoe, and still couldn't keep them on my feet. So loose I walked right out of them.I am trying again because they are very pretty, so I sent back for my regular size. I am beginning to worry it will still be big, though, after reading the reviews here and on Chadwick's. We'll see.Oh yeah. Did I say huge??
Austin Texas
Cap Toe Pumps
I love these shoes. At first I was hesitant about getting a pair. But I got the green and red and they fit great. I got the wide. I have gotten so many compliments on them. I wore the green ones with a green skirt,that went perfect with it. So keep making these shoes. I wish you had them in purple. Great Shoes and Very Comfortable,Perfect heel height.
Long time loyal shopper
Great color
First, the blueberry is a fab color! Second, for me, the size ran large. I ordered a 7.5 and it wouldn't stay on. Have reordered a 7 but haven't yet received.
farmington, nm
I love these shoes. The shoe fits well and I am tall so it's not that big of a heel. The colors are so springy, I receive many compliments when I wear these shoes. I have 2 pair....

Volkswagen Cabrio Water Leaks
Posts: 1
in Volkswagen
Every time it rains I get water in the rear seat driver side. The harder it rains
the more water I get. I had 2-3 inches of water the last time it rained hard.
It's not coming from the roof or window seals. It looks as though it's coming from
the drivers side door area and making its way to the rear seat area.
I closed off the drivers door with a large plastic garbage bag and then shut drivers
door thinking that would stop the water from entering but the water was still coming
A friend told me to check the moisture barrier that is in door. I had new speakers
installed a few years back at Circuit City. Could not replacing the plastic barrier
cause such a leak. The water does build up rather quickly.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

fiestyvermin Posts: 2Hey all I got a 97 cabrio that I am in the process of getting the top changed on but I cant figure out how to get in the trunk I dont have the owners manual and havent been able to find one online not for the 97 I have tried the key in the trunk turning it every which way and it feels like the trunk releases i thought when I got the car that you pushed in on the key and turned but that dont release it either any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks
saraki Posts: 6Hello, I have this same problem with my 2001 cabrio. It has been going on for a long time and I never really investigated. After the last hard rain, I reached back to grab a baseball hat from the floor of the drivers side rear and realized the cap was soaked! I always have a moldy smell after a rain. If you find out what is causing this, can you let me know please? I have had one prob after another with this car! My warranty has expired now (except power train) so i dont think the dealer will fix anything like this. Also, now the ABS light wont go off and my mechanic cant find anything. I notice it affects the AM radio station when it is on. Further, my check engine light is on and mechanic cant find anything. I just spent 2000 bucks on this lemon in repairs that "needed" to be done.
murph241 Posts: 3We just bought a used 2002 even after reading all the problems that folks have been having...I have seveal friends that I work with at my firehouse that are great mechanics. I had a check engine light that we've taken care of. It was the water temp sensor. It cost 5 buck at Carquest and less then 5 mins to replace. There were 3 codes and this took care of all three of them. If you make the repairs you must still use the code reader to erase them. If the problem persists, the code will come back. If not, they'll still show up.
On the water. I've noticed the weatherstripping doesn't seat around the glass properly when they're in the up position. I'm not sure how I'm going to rectify this one yet. I've read that many people have had this and some have replaced it without relief. We are fortunate enough that this is a pleasure vehicle and she can drive the van in inclimate weather. For now, I'm leaving the VW in the garage with the windows down hoping the weatherstripping will relax and seal better. If anyone has had luck with this one I'm all ears. -

cabrio79 Posts: 1Hi All,
I am on my second Cabrio. I now have a 2001, I am having problems with the musty smell of wet in my car after it rains. My passanger side seatbelt gets wet and smells horrible. I have already had the weather stripping replaced. Still nothing.
As far as the ABS light and check engine light... my '97 Cabrio, I had the worst time with. The ABS light was coming on after I got the brakes done at a local brake master shop and the check engine light would come on and off as it pleased. And on top of that my automatic transmission would slip into neutral in the middle of driving.
I found later on the internet that the transmission problem was due to a temp gauge.
Please fill me in on the water leak if you find anything.
:confuse: -
bigg454 Posts: 1This may not fix them all but a customer of mine printed out all of your concerns and brought the list in with her 01 Cabrio convertable and her driver floor had 3 inches of water in it. Much like the chrysler sebring convertables that had this problem. The pinch weld at the bottom of the rocker panel has about 5- 1 inch long lumps in it. These are the drain holes for all the water that runs down the cowl. If clogged the rocker {body below the door} will fill with water and overflow into the car. Very simple fix. Take a small screw driver and clear out the holes. Then use the screw driver to pry the holes larger so they dont clog so easily. I hope this helps. biggautoservice.com
hoza Posts: 1Thanks for the advice Bigg454.....(99 Cabrio) I did notice that seal was very wet.. I pushed on it and water gushed out. My Corrado did this.... Wished I remembered that...would've saved some headaches. If this does not solve anyone's wet floor problem check the seal after you close your door. Mine caught the seal flap and it folded in just enough to redirect water into the car...The rubber seal is deformed now... I did put a small bead of black gasket sealant at the top to redirect the water onto the glass instead of flowing down the rubber seal. Don't block the water coming off the top where the windshield and top meet. it has to flow off. You don't want the water to sit on top... so far so good. Good luck
thejouster Posts: 1My 2001 Cabrio was leaking water too--I knew it wasnt the windows because the seats never got wet but i'd have an inch of water on the floor. I cleared out those 1" holes on the bottom of the frame, and it looks like that was the problem! For those of us who don't know the car language--the very bottom of the sides of the car, below where the door opens and closes, has holes that look like warps in the metal, but they're there to drain water!

jollygreen1 Posts: 42I just read and read about this maintenance nightmare of a vehicle. I've noticed on this forum and others most of the posts are old. I guess the Golf/Cabrio is moving on to the junk yards and that is why there are less and less problems. I just purchased my '98 dark green Cabrio from an elderly couple I have known since they bought the '98. They decided to sell it and I bought at a very good price knowing the VW lack of quality. This ones runs and drives excellent, but starting to have those nit noy problems everyone else has. The tachometer and clock does not work nor does the cruise control. I am glad I have the manual top. I will try to fix the instrument cluster myself (it must be a piece of crap) and trouble shoot the cruise. I must say my two toyotas are boring because I have never had to work on them (camry 8yrs, 4R 10yrs). These forums offer good information and I am going out tomorrow to buy a scan tool so I can begin work. I know all about VW dealers and will never go there unless absolutely necessary. The second thing I will do is find a good independent mechanic for those things I cannot do. Good luck to you Cabrio owners and I know I will need luck keeping this one running.
jstrayer Posts: 2I've had the same problem for years, and decided to just go drill some holes in the rear floor boards. I pushed a thin drill thru the carpet when found the low spot in the floor, reached under the floor board to make sure i didn't drill thru something vital and guess what I found a rubber seal. I pulled it out and the water came pouring out. Now water may leak in but it will leak right back out. I think i solved it.

Marc Trestman: Can't wait to get my hands on Jay Cutler

Updated: January 17, 2013 9:53PM
As a 10-year old kid from the Minneapolis suburbs, Marc Trestman recalled watching George Halas' Bears beat the Vikings in 1966. As a Vikings assistant, he remembers coaching against Mike Ditka's 1985 Bears that won the Super Bowl. As a first-time NFL head coach at 57, he knows exactly where he is and precisely why he's here.
''I do feel the passion. I do feel the sense of urgency. And man, I do feel the commitment to win,'' Trestman said upon being introduced as the 14th head coach in Bears history Thursday at the George ''Mugs'' Halas Auditorium at Halas Hall.
Bears general manager Phil Emery said he chose Trestman over two other finalists — Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell — for his ''excellence ... energy ... organization'' and his ability to pull people together.'' He said the choice ultimately came down to Trestman and Arians after eliminating Bevell because he wanted a coach with previous head-coaching experience.
Trestman has been an NFL assistant for 18 years, but it was his five years as head coach of the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League that differentiated him from the other candidates. The Alouettes went 59-31 under Trestman and won two CFL championships in three Grey Cup appearances.
''Not only does he adapt to personnel. He adapts to situations,'' Emery said. ''Do not underestimate Marc Trestman as a competitor.''
But with the Bears' current situation, it is Trestman's record of improving offenses and improving quarterbacks that matters most. And maximizing the ability of Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is the centerpiece of his hiring.
''His offense ''starts and ends with the quarterback,'" Trestman said. ''The quarterback absolutely must play at an efficient level.''
Trestman said he first met Cutler 10 years ago at a workout in North Carolina. He met him again two days ago. ''He's a different person,'' Trestman said. ''He's in tune with where he is and where he wants to go. I can't wait to get my hands on him and go to work with him.''
Trestman will get right to work on the 2013 season. And there is a lot of work to do. He will have to hire a new defensive coordinator after Rod Marinelli decided not to stay. ''I talked to [Marinelli]. Had a good discussion. He has made up his mind to move on and we'll being the process of talking to [candidates],'' Trestman said.
Trestman said he would probably bring coaches form his staff on the Alouettes to the Bears. He has hired former New Orleans Saints offensive line coach Aaron Kromer as his offensive coordinator, but Trestman said he will call offensive plays, as he did for five seasons in Montreal.
Kromer and new special-teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis attended the press conference.
Trestman said the priority on offense will be pass protection. ''It's my responsibility to keep Jay Cutler and our quarterbacks safe in the pocket.''
Trestman offered few specifics — not really saying whether he thinks Cutler is a ''franchise quarterback'' or whether linebacker Brian Urlacher will be back.
But in general, his approach will be one of detail, teaching, motivating and getting players to buy into his philosophy.
''We want to create a locker room based on a humble, hardworking, disciplined environment. An even-keeled yet passionate, common sense, no-nonsense approach to our business,'' Trestman said. ''We're going to have fun. We're going to enjoy the game. But we are going to have a sense of urgency on a daily basis, that when we play on Sunday will give us the edge we need.''
Trestman is a student of the game — he's a student of everything, actually. So he has a fine appreciation for the history of the Bears and the passion of Bears fans.
''Our commitment to the fans is to put together a football team that wins consistently. And when you win consistently, you play for championships,'' Trestman said. ''But to get there, it starts every day. We've got to battle every day. We've got to compete. We've got to create a sense of urgency in our building on a daily basis that what we're doing now is the most important thing we can do.
''We've got to do it in an organized and detailed fashion or we'll fall asleep at the wheel and we'll missing winning that day that's going to help us get to January and February and accomplish our goal.''

July 27
The weather forecast was pretty much on the money, and a dismal dawn yields to thunder-squalls rolling across the tundra. But, after breakfast and a second cup of coffee, the rain eases and we are a shade more optimistic about our flight out later this morning. Time for one last walkabout of our temporary home.
July 24
Away to the airport this morning to see Ed off to Winnipeg - there goes our ace bear protection and GPS expert! At least we had a chance to do the firearms familiarization before his departure, so all are up to speed on handling various pyrotechnic deterrents. I'll ride shotgun in Ed's absence, with Matt as backup, and incoming member Sean adds another pair of sharp eyes to the fossil team.
July 23
Clear skies at last! Down to the coast to catch good morning lighting and a fortuitously low tide, so we can see in detail how fossil-bearing Upper Ordovician carbonate deposits (445 million years old) at our main locality "lap" against the elevated flanks of a much more ancient rock mass. This highly resistant Proterozoic (about 2500 million-year-old) quartzite body is the remnant of a small island that formed part of an archipelago in shallow Ordovician subtropical seas.
Walking through the badlands is like walking through a western novel: canyons cut through the prairie, exposing layers of brown, gold, black and white sediment. Clichés keep popping up: tumbleweeds roll by, cactus pop out from unexpected places, and cattle skulls bleach in the sun. Scorpions hide in coal seams, soaking up the sun's heat from the black rock that camouflages them. It's a bit overwhelming at first, but once you accept the fact that you're in a place unlike anywhere else in Canada, it all becomes simple and beautiful.
Mark Farmer recently returned from an expedition to the badlands of southern Alberta with Dr. David Evans, Associate Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the ROM, in search of dinosaurs. Join us as Mark and Dr. Evans put up their notes from the field, detailing discoveries, how dinosaurs are found and excavated, life in the field and more.

Going by the leaked photos an the ones from the 4H's event, I'm saying Octavia, Shokoti, and Castaspella are the top figures of 2013.

"Don't crowd me boys!"
Depending on how the final version turns out, Mantenna might be toy of the year.
UGH waiting for NA He-Man is gona kill me! That new photo looks closer to production; he's so awesome! Can't wait to see how it's all gona work - REALLY hope the armor and helmet head are coming with the figure so I don't have to wait for a weapons pak.
King He-Man looks a little less shiny, but I'm still liking him. He still looks battle-ready and play worthy!

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
Everyone looks great.
NA He-Man looks to have 2 hinged wrists. I don't know if that was there or discussed before, it's the first time I noticed it.
Octavia I'm hoping for a little more black around the eyes, but she still looks great.
King He-Man...well he's a figure. My first year subbing & the exclusive is my least wanted. Looking more forward to the map & mini comic. He's just there. I mean he's a MOTUC so he's awesome, but I just can't get excited for him.

If so it's Frosta all over again...

Let's just say I'm much more concerned about the yellowish snow in that picture....
Maybe Marzo as an archenemy was the biggest thing to happen to Mekaneck, but as far as Marzo was concerned...it was Tuesday.
Mmmm.. It seems gray unfortunately.
I hope they used at least some white paint accents on the fur..
See ya',
I'm glad King He-Man's crown is fine, but his armour seems plain grey instead of metallic. I hope it's just the light.

Allow me to pinpoint it for you: it's the clash caused by the blue-next-to-red and the golden-next-to-metallic-gray color combinations (especially the former). Heraldic tradition has a specific rule (called the "rule of tincture") that arose precisely to prevent this specific kind of chromatic dissonance, which is due to such color pairs displaying very little contrast in lightness (blue on red is dark on dark, and yellow on gray is light on light). Our visual system uses lightness contrast as the primary cue to identify shapes against their background (such as the circle shape on the chest cross and the H shape on the belt of the King He-Man figure), which is also why low contrast color combinations, such as said blue-on-red, are a pain in the eye for reading texts (i.e., identifying letter shapes), unlike high-contrast combinations (such as black-on-white, or red-on-yellow).

I'm glad they fixed the ball on the crown for everyone. The assymmitry was awkward.
Love NA He-man's updates. Maybe I'll have a better chance of getting him.
I need to see more of the castle before I decide to keep it or not.
Art is relative. Detail might be unnecessary to you (Filmation fan), but I thrive on detail (200X fan).
Added detail makes Filmation characters fit in more with the Classics aesthetic started by the 8 back characters. That's the way some Filmation characters adapt to Classics--by gaining detail the way 200X or NA characters or concepts lose detail getting translated.

" You Can't Get Anywhere Without Coming to Ogden: Railroading in the American West" a commemorative panel discussion presented at the 2004 Utah Construction/ Utah International Symposium Making Tracks by Dr. Kathryn MacKay Thursday, October 7, 2004 2 Thank you. Let me add my thanks for the invitation to be here today. It is always an honor to be asked to speak at a public forum. I also acknowledge that some of my students have even decided to show up and I am particularly honored by your presence. Let me put my nostalgic credentials on the table first. My grandfather worked for the Union Pacific which meant that as a child I used to take rides on the Union Pacific with my grandmother. There are still stories told in the family about those various trips and about taking lunch down to the Union Pacific depot for my grandfather and so I also have these nostalgic railroad credentials. In fact that may be the extent of my credentials about the railroad, I need to admit to you that the railroad is not my field of study. I have been drawn into this study more recently with a project at the Golden Spike museum with a group of students. As a public historian I supervise students who do curatorial work, archival work, and we had a chance to redo an exhibit that talked about the Chinese workers on the Central Pacific. I then went on to help the park do curatorial work on their collection and it raised again the issue that is always an issue in museum, libraries, historic sites and reenactment places, and that is how do you present the past to the public in the present? How do you help the public understand the past was as complicated and as messy as the present? And how do you bring to the attention of the public the best of the current scholarship? So with those issues in mind I turn to some discussion about new scholarship on the Union Pacific railroad. Let me bring to your attention three major areas of new scholarship about the Union Pacific and about railroads in the 3 west in general. They really do come out of the last 20- 25 years of historical research that can be both labeled social history research and new western research. The social historians have asked us to consider the past from the bottom up; from the lives of ordinary people. For the railroad, that means we are much more interested in the lives of the workers. And for the Union Pacific, that is the Irish immigrants, expendable because there were so many of them, expendable because they could be replaced, and literally expendable because they kept being blown up and having accidents, etc. Thousands of workers over six years of time worked on this transcontinental railroad and we are struggling to tell the story of their lives, both to find the information but also to present it to the public at our museums, and our public events. The social historians remind us that the story of the transcontinental railroad, the story of the Union Pacific, is not just a story of triumphalism; it is a story that is also about despair and hardship, ethnocentric discrimination, and a lot of stories lost. We are trying to find those. I also wanted to bring to your attention new scholarship that geographers are asking. One area of scholarship is to look at town planning that the railroad companies did. The Union Pacific, for example, had a specific town plan for Cheyenne. The geographers, in looking at towns in the west, are bringing to our attention increasingly, some understanding of major town plans; the Pueblo Indian villages, the Mormon town plan or the plan of Zion, and the railroad plan, Cheyenne being one of the most important examples of this. What, for example, has caught scholars attention about the railroad town plans is that they are 4 deliberately planned off center, they are slightly askew. The speculation is, well, does this have to do with sunshine; does this have to do with surveyors who did not know what they were doing? But, nonetheless, there is a particular pattern and the scholars' are curious about that, and bringing to our attention that we need to be mindful of the railroad as a town planner, not just as a railroad builder. But they really did affect the way that the land looked in the west in terms of town planning. Furthermore, again as the geographers go back and take a look at the rights of way and the roots, the impact that they had on the environment, on the ecology, on the land itself. There is a lot of new scholarship to look at. One of the fascinating fields, for example, is that because the railroads became the second largest land owner in the west, second only to the Federal government that, of course, took the land in the first place and held a lot of land. If you want to find certain seeds and certain kinds of plants that have not been particularly disturbed for hundreds of years you follow the railroad tracks. That is where the seed researchers are gathering native plants and seeds that have not been hybridized. So again, the geographers bringing to our attention new services. And then the new western historians are weighing in… I noticed that Richard White, one of the most distinguished of the new western historians is now turning his attention to the railroads particularly in terms of their corporate power and influence, and is looking at the first big businesses in the United States which were the railroads, and looking at the connections between their economic power and their political power. In this time, which for some historians 5 is being described as the " New Gilded Age," the historians are looking back at the previous Gilded Age and looking at the railroads as a particular player in this world that has become so familiar to us, a world of big business and the influence of big business on the government. I want you to know that these three areas of scholarship are areas that scholars, historians, and geographers are particularly interested in. Again, bottom up history, town planning and the impact on geography and environment, and the relationship between big business, corporate interest and the government. That is where we are going to see some of the richest new scholarship. The challenge for museums and public organizations is going to be to present that new scholarship to the public. Thank you very much.

The Association of Eosinophilia With Indolent Strongyloides In A Diversified Patient Population
Davinder Kumar M.D., Pierre Gonsalves, M.D., Lin ping hung M.D., Wei-fun Sung M.D., Renuka shetty Das M.D.
Background: Strongyloides stercoralis is one of the most common parasitic organisms for infectious causes of secondary eosinophilia. Worldwide 30-60 million people are infected. In the US, the prevalence is very low except among residents of southeastern states and immigrants, who have been in endemic areas. There is very little reported information on the association of eosinophilia with indolent strongyloides in an urban immigrant outpatient population from endemic areas.
Objective: The objective of this observational study was to determine the association of eosinophilia with indolent strongyloides in a multiethnic outpatient clinic population followed at New York Hospital Queens.
Methods: We reviewed records of 36 consecutive patients who, from April 2008 to February 2009, had their strongyloides IgG levels drawn as part of a comprehensive evaluation for high percent eosinophiles (= or>5 %). The study population consisted of female (n=17) and male (n=18) patients, aged 24 to 81, from four broad geographic areas of origin (Asia =12, Europe=1, North America=3, and South America=20). Information on country of origin, age, gender, and laboratory data including serum strongyloides Elisa IgG, stool ova and parasite, complete blood count with eosinophilia was analyzed. The diagnosis of indolent strongyloides was made by detectable strongyloides IgG level or visualization of strongyloides larva on stool examination. Patents with positive tests were treated with 2 single doses of ivermetin at 200 mcg/kg, 2 weeks apart. Post treatment reduction in strongyloides IgG and eosinophil count was analyzed. SAS software was used for all statistical analysis.
Results: The study group consisted of 33 immigrants and 3 nonimmigrants. The mean age for the study population was 56.64 (SD =12.76.) The mean eosinophil count was 586.56 (SD =333.73). There were 13 seropositive cases of indolent strongyloides (IgG level range 95 to 1.15, mean =11.57, and SD = 25.18), and all stool studies were negative. The prevalence of indolent strongyloides is 39.39% (13/33) for the immigrant group, whereas it was 0 % (0/3) in the nonimmigrant group. The geographic distribution of indolent strongyloides was: Asia=3, Europe=1, and South America =9. 12 out of 13 cases of indolent strongyloides were treated. 8 cases had post treatment IgG levels performed and 7 of the 8 had no detectable levels (IgG<1). The post treatment eosinophiles were available for 8 patients (mean = 223.77, SD =117.13). The reduction in eosinophil count and strongyloides IgG levels with treatment was statistically significant ( p< 0.05).
Conclusions: The incidence of indolent strongyloides, diagnosed by serum ELISA. Strongyloides IgG, in an immigrant population with eosinophilia is 39.39%. Treatment with Ivermectin significantly reduces the strongyloides IgG level and eosinophil count. Further study is needed to determine appropriate treatment goals and follow-up of post-treatment, persistently seropositive patients.

The Milwaukee Brewers got swept by who!?
milwaukee brewers April 18th, 2011
I woke up this morning and I came to a shocking realization.
I realized that:
- There was 2-4 inches of snow on the ground
- Livan Hernandez shut down the Brewers offense
- The Brewers just got swept by the Nationals
What kind of Bizarro World did I just wake up in? What's with all this snow? Where is the global warming when I need it? And really, who loses both ends of a doubleheader? Besides the Brewers like 400 times already. Who's even managing this team, Ned Macha? Seriously, what is going on here?
That being said besides the snow I don't see any reason to panic. Maybe in retrospect I'd prefer Yovani didn't throw 111 pitches in his second start of the season because he hasn't been the same since, but that will work itself out. (Hopefully.) Let's do something that we never do around here and look at the past three days and maybe come to some understanding about how this sweep could happen. Read the rest of this entry »

The good news is housing inventory in Chicago is down 40 percent from last year with prices up for the first time since the housing bubble burst. Most home values dropped 35-40 percent from the market highs and are quickly gaining value. Real estate is poised for a major comeback with many experts predicting that we are in for a huge recovery in the upcoming months. There are limited places to invest with the stock market peaking at new all-time highs, leaving real estate as the next haven for investment.
As a home seller, how do you take advantage of this upcoming trend to get the best value for your home?
I spoke with veteran real estate broker, Leslie Bodell of the Prudential Rubloff Michigan Avenue office about what she recommends to best showcase a home and prepare it for sale. A long-time resident of the Chicago Gold Coast, she's seen the market through its ups and downs and has weathered the storm.
Ms. Bodell offered these tips for selling your property:
CLEAN. Not just the usual floors, counter tops, bathroom. Clean and organize all closets. Get the multilayers of dust off your lampshades and window treatments. Shine those windows and mirrors. Make sure your oven is spotless (yes, buyers will peak inside). Clean out the refrigerator. Why? Because the age and condition of your appliances is a factor when buyers think about what they may need to consider replacing and translates to money to their offer. Also, take a good look at your paint and make the investment to re-freshen rooms that need it. Sometimes just a new coat of white or off-white paint on the trim and doors can make a big difference. Buy a new set of towels for the bathroom(s) and put them out for showings. If you have pets, make sure they are clean and smell good, too! You don't want your home to smell like a dirty dog.
DON'T FORGET LIGHTING. Ideally, you should have multiple levels of lighting in all rooms. Ceiling and eye level minimally. Your switches should all have dimmers; this is not an expensive thing to do. Bright rooms offset a not so good view to a prospective buyer. Buy some art lighting to highlight some of your art even if you don't own a Renoir. Be sure your light bulbs are of an ample wattage.
EDIT. Take those 20 beloved photos sitting on your mantle, pick out one or two that you can't live without and stash the rest. Look closely at every table top, shelf and counter; unless you are already a minimalist, reduce the clutter by at least half. Buyers want to envision themselves (and their things) in your space, so don't distract them by having too much of your stuff in the way. Make sure whatever is left out on display is clean and polished. Remove everything from your refrigerator door and keep just a few appliances on the kitchen counter.
STAGE. Sometimes it's just a matter of removing or adding artwork/mirrors and rearranging your furniture. Other times you may want to hire a professional staging company to come in with their own items to update your look and make it current. It can't be emphasized enough the importance of great staging in a home prior to showing. Put aside your sentimental feelings about your grandmother's quilt or beloved family heirloom. The proper staging makes a huge difference in the perceived value of your property. Don't feel insulted if your Realtor tells you need to makes changes in your décor and be open to suggestions. The goal is to sell your property for top dollar.
For more information on the current real estate housing market or to list or buy a home, contact Leslie Bodell at firstname.lastname@example.com or 312.268.0631.

Panetta Says Drone Campaign Over Iran Will Continue
Published December 13, 2011
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, in an exclusive interview with Fox News,
said that the stealth drone campaign along the Iran-Afghanistan border
will "absolutely" continue despite the loss of a
valuable and sophisticated drone to Iran.
The mysterious loss of the RQ-170 Sentinel drone has revealed not only
that the U.S. was spying on Iran, but also that the program was being
run from Shindad Air Base in western Afghanistan.
Panetta would not comment directly on what that drone was doing over
Iran, but he said the U.S. military has no plans to halt the drone
operation out of western Afghanistan.
"Those operations have to be protected in order to do the job and the
mission that they're involved with," he said.
When asked if he would continue those missions as they have been
conducted out of Afghanistan, he responded with one word: "Absolutely."
Panetta would not speculate about whether the Sentinel drone had been
felled by a cyber attack or a high-tech jamming device.
"You can make all kinds of guesses at this point. Obviously there's
nothing that you can rule out and nothing that you can rule in right
now," he said.
President Obama said on Monday he would not comment on the situation
beyond saying the U.S. has asked to Iranians to give it back. "We we
will see how the Iranians respond," he said.
Panetta will travel later this week to Baghdad for a ceremony to mark
the end of the U.S. war in Iraq. The secretary did not agree with the
assessment of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in Washington Monday
suggesting Iranian interference in Iraq would disappear once all U.S.
troops have gone home.
"I think you've got be very cautious about Iran and what they are
doing," Panetta said. "I suspect in one way or another they are going to
try to influence what happens there."
He added the U.S. will keep 40,000 troops in bases across the Gulf to
counter any potential Iranian threat.
Meanwhile on Tuesday, a high-ranking Iranian official said Iran's
military will practice sealing off the Strait of Hormuz, the world's
most important oil transport channel. It's a provocative move that
illustrates Iran's capability of disrupting the world's oil supply.
Pentagon spokesman Doug Wilson responding saying although he has no
information on those specific exercises, the U.S. is "committed to the
free and safe passage in international waters."
Anything that affects that, Wilson said, would be "detrimental."
Back in Kabul, the defense secretary will also be assessing how to heal
the relationship with Pakistan after it closed border crossings and key
supply routes in response to the Nov. 26 NATO air strike that killed 24
Pakistani troops.
Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, said just before
that incident, he went to see Pakistan's General Kayani for meetings he
hoped would "bring the relationship back to a high level of
But in the aftermath of the incident on Nov. 26, "that has chilled to
some extent," Allen said.
