Whitefish – Great Lakes
Whitefish is a fast growing freshwater fish that can reach a length of three feet, a weight of roughly 42 pounds, and live for 50 years. Whitefish are found throughout the Great Lakes and are the main commercial fish species there.
The abundance of Whitefish has varied over time, and is currently at a medium level across the Great Lakes. Several factors are impacting Whitefish populations in the Great Lakes, particularly competition and predation from invasive species, loss of their primary food source, and habitat degradation.
Whitefish are caught by trap nets and gillnets, which results in minimal damage to the sea floor and medium levels of bycatch.

College of the Redwoods is scheduled to reopen today after a bomb threat on a student's Facebook page shut down the campus Thursday morning.
CR spokesman Paul DeMark said a thorough search of the campus' 52 buildings conducted by staff and various public safety agencies was completed Thursday afternoon, and nothing out of the ordinary was found. Emergency personnel from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, the Humboldt County Drug Task Force, Humboldt State University, Cal Fire, the Eureka Police Department and Humboldt Bay Fire assisted in the search.
"Their search went extremely well," DeMark said. "CR staff, along with emergency personnel, went through all of the campus' buildings and didn't find anything suspicious. We feel that the campus is safe for students to return."
The roughly 135 students living on campus -- who were transported to a Eureka middle school at 6 a.m. Thursday -- were going to be allowed back in their dorms late Thursday afternoon or early Thursday evening, DeMark said. A CR press release said Eureka City Schools, HSU and the Humboldt Transit Authority provided services to the evacuated students.
According to Sheriff's Office Lt. Steve Knight, the bomb threat first appeared on the Facebook page of a CR student.
The student called the sheriff's office to report the threat shortly after midnight Thursday, stating that the Facebook account had been hacked. The sheriff's office notified campus officials, who made the decision to evacuate and close the campus.
"We are actively looking for the perpetrator of this bomb threat that was posted on the Internet," Knight said. "You know, it really is a concern today with what has been going on recently in Boston. This is really unfortunate that this is going on."
A tweet by "Flash Reed," who identifies himself as CR football player Aubrey Reed on Twitter, said it was his page that was hacked.
"I still really can't believe somebody made a fake Facebook page of me and started saying bomb threats to CR... This is crazy fam," the tweet reads.
The threat comes at a tense time for public safety officials and the community, with the twin bombings at the Boston Marathon that occurred just days ago still fresh in the minds of many.
CR President Kathryn Smith said the campus' students and staff were her first concern.
"We do take everything seriously," she said. "If it is a threat to the campus, we want to take care of that, in the event that it is a serious and credible threat."
Smith added later in a press release that she is grateful to those who assisted the campus Thursday.
"When you are experiencing a crisis situation you really find out how many community partners you have who are dedicated to the safety of CR students, faculty and staff," she said.
Officials turned away a steady stream of students and staff arriving Thursday morning, many of whom expressed surprise and outrage after learning the reason for the campus' closure.
CR student Jennifer Morton said she had planned to drop her 4-year-old son off at the college's childcare center before heading to an 8:30 a.m. English class when she heard about the threat.
"It's terrifying," the 27-year-old said. "This is a small, rural college. It is surprising to me that this would happen here. Honestly, when I think about my son, I don't know if we will be back the rest of the week."
Christina Myers, also a CR student, said she was upset that someone had threatened the campus.
"I have absolutely no tolerance for this," she said. "I grew up in LA and this sort of thing happened frequently at my school. That is part of why I moved up here, to get away from that. It irritates me to think that this could happen here -- that it isn't geographical, but human nature."
College of the Redwoods math professor Todd Olsen said he was shocked to hear the campus was closed due to a bomb threat when he arrived just before 9:30 a.m. to teach a lab class.
"I've been teaching here since 1993, and I've never seen anything like this," he said. "You just never think something like this could happen."
Olsen said he was grateful campus officials reacted quickly to the threat.
"It's reassuring," he said. "This is absolutely what needs to happen in a situation like this."
The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity to call the sheriff's office at 445-7251, or the sheriff's office crime tip line at 268-2539.

Courtesy Frito-LayThey say everything's better with chocolate on it.
Following that mantra, Frito-Lay, maker of Lay's potato chips, has rolled out a new variety—Lay's Wavy Potato Chips Dipped in Milk Chocolate.
The 5-ounce bag, which sells for $3.49, will only be available at Target stores, according to an article in USA Today.
The chocolate-covered potato chip follows a Rold Gold pretzel covered in chocolate. Rold Gold also is a Frito's brand, and both are owned by PepsiCo.
Depending on the success of the chocolate-covered chips, future flavors could include dark chocolate, white chocolate and peppermint chips, according to the article.
The sweet snacks are a deviation from Frito's line of snack chips with savory flavors, including pico de gallo, salt and vinegar, and barbecue.

SNEAK PEEK: Journal Sentinel 2009 Brewers grades
Baseball October 8th, 2009
The JSOnline's Brewers season grades are always a lot of fun. In 2008 Gabe Kapler received a better grade than anyone on the offense. In 2007 JJ Hardy, Joe Dillon and Ryan Braun were deemed equal. The thought that goes into these rankings clearly takes at least 5-10 minutes. I have a few sources on the inside of the JSHQ and they were able to give me a few of the grades ahead of their publishing along with some preliminary notes. Not sure if it will be EXACTLY like this on Sunday (or whenever these come out), but I can guarantee it will make the same amount of sense. Hope you enjoy.
Jason Kendall: B- That one time he hit a homerun. Guys loved throwing at him. Also, hit a homerun that other time.
Prince Fielder: C+ If he doesn't tie for RBI lead he is sure B-.Would be higher if team was better. It's his fault for record.
Felipe Lopez: A+++++ If I was GM I'd pay him a million trillion dollars!
JJ Hardy: INCOMPLETE Team is stupid for sending him down.
Alcides Escobar: C+Dazzling defense, but the bat isn't there. Seems like one of the best
Craig Counsell: B- One of the best seasons of his career.
Casey McGehee: C True Rookie of the Year candidate filled the hole at third base adequately.
Rickie Weeks: F- Got hurt. LOPEZZZZZZ!!!!!
Corey Hart: B- Changed his at-bat music later in the season and I really enjoyed it.
Mike Cameron: D He may have been one of the Brewers' best hitters, but he struck out a lot.
Ryan Braun: C- Wasn't as good as I thought he'd be. Would be higher if team did better, it's his fault.
Frank Catalanotto: A One of the lone bright spots.
Jody Gerut: F+
Yovani Gallardo: C- Not enough like CC.
Trevor Hoffman: A+ Best. Free. Agent. Signing. Ever.
Braden Looper: C- Sure, it was the worst season of his career and he led the league in homeruns and earned runs allowed. He had 14 wins! 14!
Jeff Suppan: D+ If he would have pitched better Brewers would have won the World Series.
Manny Parra: Somewhere between B and F.
Dave Bush: D- Bring back Doug Davis.
Mark DiFelice: B Can't imagine where the Brewers would have finished without his 3.66 ERA.
Mitch Stetter: C- His 3.60 ERA was a pleasant surprise.
Claudio Vargas: D- 1.78 ERA with Brewers. Am I supposed to be impressed?
Mike Burns: C Did a good job with what he was asked to do.
Seth McClung: B- "We need to give a good grade to Seth because he's my friend on twitter. -Tom"
Todd Coffey: C+Pitched a lot of games.
The rest: F

Courtesy Food and Drug AdministrationOfficials with distributor Frontera Produce Ltd. of Edinburg, Texas, said they began working with Jensen Farms Sept. 12 on a voluntary recall of cantaloupe possibly linked to a listeria outbreak(UPDATED COVERAGE, Sept. 15, 6:40 p.m.) Cantaloupes shipped by a grower in Colorado's Rocky Ford region have been linked to a deadly listeria outbreak in Colorado, New Mexico and 15 other states.
Granada, Colo.-based Jensen Farms issued a voluntary recall of its cantaloupes Sept. 14.
However, company officials with the distributor, Frontera Produce, Edinburg, Texas, said voluntary recall efforts began Sept. 12.
"As soon as the Colorado officials narrowed it down to the Rocky Ford region, we immediately initiated voluntary recall measures," Frontera executive vice president Amy Gates said Sept. 15. "We shut down operations on Monday (Sept. 12). We stopped harvest, packing and distribution. We called our customers and told them if they had trucks on the road to call them back."
Gates said Frontera and Jensen Farms are cooperating with the Food and Drug Administration and Colorado officials to investigate the situation and notify retail customers and consumers.
Courtesy FDAThe recalled cantaloupe were distributed in 17 states and carried this label.Retailers including Safeway, Whole Foods and King Soopers voluntarily pulled Rocky Ford cantaloupes off shelves in many markets. Some Colorado retailers began pulling Rocky Ford product as early Sept. 9 or Sept. 10, said Gary Shane, co-onwer of Gary Shane Farms, La Junta, Colo.
Eleven cases of listeria in Colorado, 10 in New Mexico, two in Texas and one each in Indiana, Nebraska and Oklahoma have been linked to contaminated cantaloupes, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the New Mexico Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Nine people sickened by listeria in Colorado reported eating cantaloupe. All nine were hospitalized and one died, according to the Colorado department. A second death was reported, but has not been linked to the nine confirmed cases.
Nine of the 10 people stricken in New Mexico reported eating cantaloupe. Four were hospitalized and three died.
Gary Shane Farms was inspected Sept. 9 and given a clean bill of health Sept. 13, Shane said. The company took back some product from retailers before Sept. 13, but recalls came at the very end of its deal, Shane said. Only two of the roughly 125 loads Gary Shane Farms shipped this summer were recalled, Shane said.
Most other Rocky Ford shippers also are done shipping for the season, Shane said Sept. 15.
Because Rocky Ford was at the end of its deal, and because the region's shipments rarely extend beyond the center of the country, the effect of the recall on volumes and markets will likely be minimal, said Jim Malanca, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Westside Produce Co., Firebaugh, Calif.
But Malanca said he fielded plenty of calls from worried retailers the week of Sept. 12. Even though news accounts made clear that the contaminated melons came from one region only, the entire category could feel the effects.
Staff writer Coral Beach contributed to this report.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 165 TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

[Verse 1]
Yo, is it me or the damn chain? (My chains)
Is it me or the champagne? (Let me know)
Is it me or the tan range?
Is it the dame can't restrain cos the man blames?
Doing the type of bull a little smaller with the damn rage
Is this cos she see me push the business around?
Is she living in a town where syringes are found?
Is it because she know I'm breaking a stupendous amount?
Invite you out to the house and your friends is aroused (like wow)
It just couldn't be the waiters and the catered food
Great booze, lake view and a room like a Laker do [?]
Just to show you what a good amount of paper do
The big faces eat you look like a caper move [?]
Laced with jewels, wrist, neck, chest full of ice
Look like you ran inside of Tiffany's and pulled a heist
Where you stay inside the PJs is full of mice
Know it's just me you like
Cut it out
You pulling pipe
[Hook] [x2]
There's a limit to your love!
Yo, what's the meaning to your love, Mom?
There's a limit to your love!
Tell me the meaning to your love, Mom
There's a limit to your love!
What's the meaning to your love, Mom?
There's a limit to your love!
Tell me the meaning to your love

Is you here for the long run?
Is you here for the long sums?
See where you at if the storm come
I bet you up and leave a breeze like no wrong done
A ounce of weed a day baby you got some strong lungs
But what would happen if God forbid I'm in an accident
Lose my two legs and my back is bent
And every step sent the doctors from putting brackets in [???]
I bet you say "Salut Captain" and they go and pack your tits [???]
First time I've seen a chick do a backwards limp
I be like what happened, baby, I thought you wrapping prints [???]
She brought back your senses when a nigga back in rent
I bet you haven a foot forward and one back to sprint
When it's all gone and life no longer immaculate
When his pockets flat and he down in the dumps
The whip's no longer dumping those sounds in the trunk
Now you're frowning and you're sunken like you crowning the chumps
[Hook] [x2]

Family-friendly doings in full swing at Chicago Auto Show

Jam to the sound of your own DJ beats while surrounded by more than a thousand new cars, sporty utility and concept cars.
Or step into a Cadillac race simulator to experience a real track, including the feel of skidding and racing over road bumps while getting tips from racing instructors on navigating corners and shifting gears.
For the wee ones, how about hopping into a mini Jeep and taking a spin?
Those are among family-oriented activities that will take place at the Chicago Auto Show this year, which targets toddlers to teens to time-stressed parents (who'll be able to renew or replace their driving licenses on site). The Department of Motor Vehicles will have an office located on the premises at McCormick Place, where the public show that opens to the public Saturday and continues through Feb. 18. So parents can take care of business, while the kids explore the new vehicles and concept cars on display.
Parents and kids alike are encouraged to get behind the wheel, feel the leather seats, adjust the rearview mirror and leave fingerprints on the windows to get an up close and personal experience at the show, planners say.
While family oriented activities will take place every day, the official Family Day is Presidents' Day, Feb. 18, the last day of the show. Oaklee's Family Guide will be hosting a series of events including appearances by the Radio Disney Road Crew and meet-and-greet sessions with Radio Disney's Leo Howard and Ms. Illinois Teen USA, as well as a performance by the Rockabilly Band.
Here is some key information for families:
♦ Free admission is provided to children 6 years of age or younger when accompanied by a paying adult. For children ages 7 to 12 and seniors ages 62 and older, tickets are $6. For adults, the price is $12.
♦ Visit Fifth Third Bank locations or local car dealers for weekday ticket discount price coupons.
♦ Strollers are welcome and encouraged, given that there is more than one million square feet of exhibit space to navigate.
♦ Free, stroller-friendly shuttles are provided from parking garages.
♦ If you don't want to take a shuttle, park in Lot A or C.
♦ Wheelchairs and motorized vehicles for older family members can be rented on-site.
♦ Lockers and coat checks are available on-site.
♦ Diaper changing stations are located inside most bathrooms at McCormick Place.
♦ In addition to getting a driver's license at the on-site DMV office, visitors will also be able to order vehicle stickers and license plates, handicap placards and sign up to be an organ/tissue donor.

Toyota Racing Development (TRD) aftermarket parts and equipment
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,181Well this particular type of mod is outside my knowledge. You know what I'd do? I'd have a nice long consultation with a respected speed shop in your area. If you lived in the San Fran Bay Area I could direct you. But otherwise, this type of work needs to be carefully planned out and budgeted.
I'd imagine you definitely would have to turbo the car, and being a V-6 that's probably twin turbos. I really don't know if anyone's done that--I'm sure some gearhead has, and I'm sure some really motivated speed shop would help you take it on. Now if you want to be world's deadliest SUV stoplight jockey maybe a supercharger would work better for fitment, as turbo plumbing does tend to get complex. But I think a turbo would still be cheaper by a bit.
My thinking is that you need a LOT more HP and this can't be done with that engine and normal aspiration.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!

hondaconvert1 Posts: 60I am glad I traded in my '99 4Runner with TRD SC, as I had replaced the 2nd generation of SC (hitting against underneath the hood) with 3rd or 4th generation SC and still the clicking noise would not go away even with iridium spark plugs... oh boy nooooo more of it!!!
(needless to say I had to change rotors every 3000-5000 miles... yep). -

sully19 Posts: 2I have seen a 98 Avalon with a current generation SC retrofitted. I have a 97 Avalon and am looking for large HP gains. Does anyone know about this or how to accomplish it? TRD makes no parts for my car (air filter and brake pads don't count) and all of the Toyota employeesI have spoken with agree with me on the fact that this was supposed to be a pure Lexus style car, with only average performance.
msgtr Posts: 1TRD has been dragging their feet and sitting on their thumbs when it comes to the re-release of the Tundra V8 Supercharger. There are hundreds of these kits just sitting on the shelf waiting for a new ECU!
I wonder if they are going to be liberated before everyone's truck has gone beyond 100,000 miles or to the wrecking yard...?
Personnaly, I got tired of waiting and finally found my own on e-bay (brand new and in the sealed packages).
Broken rods? I'm not racing it, I'm towing my RV with it. -
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,181Well towing is hard work for an engine but I can't see broken rods from doing it. Rod damage is usually a high rpm type of problem or oil starvation problem. As long as your engine doesn't ping under load (good cool air charge) and you have a trans cooler (for the automatic), you're probably good to go.

Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,181Well I wonder if this supercharger ever came to the dealers or not?

cfowler Posts: 1Hi! I have a sticky situation. I just bought a TRD supercharger kit for an '03 Tundra and I own a 2005 Tundra Limited. I realize changes have been made and the ECU will not work. However, do you think that it may be useable one day with my 2005 with an updated ECU? Is the rest of the kit physically compatible? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Over the weekend a tweet about an interview with Professor James Heisig caught my eye.
Professor James Heisig is the co-author of Remembering Simplified Hanzi: Book 1, How Not to Forget the Meaning and Writing of Chinese Characters alongside Professor Timothy Richardson.
This post will be short and sweet but I wanted to do what was within my capacity to do, to highlight this great article which you can read here: Interview with Nanzan University's Prof. James Heisig by David White.
You may or may not be aware of my Heisig adventures. In my opinion, if you're interested in learning hanzi (simplified or traditional), or Japanese kanji, you can (and should) consider the Heisig method to do so.
To get back to the article, I enjoyed reading this because it was amazing to read about Professor Heisig's life and how he had devised his method of studying Japanese kanji which led to further books on how to study and remember hanzi later. I love hearing people's life stories especially if it is about them crossing borders into a foreign country and living there for an incredible amount of time. (I wish it had been me who had the opportunity to have an in-person chat / interview with someone like that.)
I, for one am very grateful for the Heisig method and the part of the article that resounds best with me, is the bit in bold below:
'I was once waiting in Kansai airport and there was a guy sitting next to me reading Remembering the Kanji. I asked him, "Is that book any good?" and he replied "Yeah, it's like my bible, I take it everywhere."'
(I did say in a previous post that my Heisig book had been my closest non-human companion for the duration of my Heisig studies.)
And just so you can get an inkling of the personality of this author I have quoted, the rest of his words too:
"So I said to him, "I hear the author's a real whacko," and he said "What do you mean?" and I replied, "Well, I hear he's just nuts, he's really strange." And he said, "Well, I wouldn't know that from this book," and I replied, "Well, you better be careful what you read!" and he said, "Well, there are a few strange examples in the book. So this guy is really crazy?" And I said, "Yeah, absolutely. He's been crazy all his life." Later, he asked me to watch his bags while he went to the bathroom, and so I took his book and signed it when he was in the bathroom."
Amazing story. If you've been a student of the Heisig method or are considering this method for studying hanzi (or kanji) then read the full interview with James Heisig by David White. Enough said. Read it.

WINDSOR HEIGHTS – Left in place, asbestos is a relatively stable and safe mineral commonly used in more than 3,000 home construction products.
However, when people remove or disturb asbestos-containing products, small fibers become airborne and may stay in the air. If inhaled, the fibers can cause disease or cancer more than 20 years after the exposure.
July is Asbestos Awareness Month in Iowa. The Iowa DNR has tips and information that can increase safety for people who are remodeling their homes.
"The key is to be aware of how many products are likely to contain asbestos fibers as you plan your remodeling project," said Brian Hutchins, DNR air quality supervisor. "Ceiling tiles, insulated pipe wrappings, floor tiles and vermiculite attic insulation are some of the common products that have asbestos in them.
"If you suspect that asbestos-containing products are present, it's smart to consult a professional contractor who is experienced in asbestos removal," he added.
DNR air quality regulations for asbestos removal do not apply to a single family residence, but Hutchins says having an experienced contractor do the work can prevent future health issues and provide peace of mind for the homeowner.
More information about products that contain asbestos can be found on the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov/InsideDNR/RegulatoryAir/Asbestos.aspx and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's website at www2.epa.gov/asbestos.
Owners and operators of commercial buildings, including places such as schools, churches and hospitals, are required to follow state and federal regulations for asbestos removal and worker safety during remodeling and demolition projects.

The Pharisees' question concerning divorce. (1-12) Christ's love to little children. (13-16) Christ's discourse with the rich young man. (17-22) The hinderance of riches. (23-31) Christ foretells his sufferings. (32-45) Bartimeus healed. (46-52)
Verses 1-12 Wherever Jesus was, the people flocked after him in crowds, and he taught them. Preaching was Christ's constant practice. He here shows that the reason why Moses' law allowed divorce, was such that they ought not to use the permission; it was only for the hardness of their hearts. God himself joined man and wife together; he has fitted them to be comforts and helps for each other. The bond which God has tied, is not to be lightly untied. Let those who are for putting away their wives consider what would become of themselves, if God should deal with them in like manner.
Verses 13-16 Some parents or nurses brought little children to Christ, that he should touch them, in token of his blessing them. It does not appear that they needed bodily cures, nor were they capable of being taught: but those who had the care of them believed that Christ's blessing would do their souls good; therefore they brought them to him. Jesus ordered that they should be brought to him, and that nothing should be said or done to hinder it. Children should be directed to the Saviour as soon as they are able to understand his words. Also, we must receive the kingdom of God as little children; we must stand affected to Christ and his grace, as little children to their parents, nurses, and teachers.
Verses 17-22 This young ruler showed great earnestness. He asked what he should do now, that he might be happy for ever. Most ask for good to be had in this world; any good, ( Psalms 4:6 ) ; he asks for good to be done in this world, in order to enjoy the greatest good in the other world. Christ encouraged this address by assisting his faith, and by directing his practice. But here is a sorrowful parting between Jesus and this young man. He asks Christ what he shall do more than he has done, to obtain eternal life; and Christ puts it to him, whether he has indeed that firm belief of, and that high value for eternal life which he seems to have. Is he willing to bear a present cross, in expectation of future crown? The young man was sorry he could not be a follower of Christ upon easier terms; that he could not lay hold on eternal life, and keep hold of his worldly possessions too. He went away grieved. See ( Matthew 6:24 ) , Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Verses 23-31 Christ took this occasion to speak to his disciples about the difficulty of the salvation of those who have abundance of this world. Those who thus eagerly seek the wealth of the world, will never rightly prize Christ and his grace. Also, as to the greatness of the salvation of those who have but little of this world, and leave it for Christ. The greatest trial of a good man's constancy is, when love to Jesus calls him to give up love to friends and relatives. Even when gainers by Christ, let them still expect to suffer for him, till they reach heaven. Let us learn contentment in a low state, and to watch against the love of riches in a high one. Let us pray to be enabled to part with all, if required, in Christ's service, and to use all we are allowed to keep in his service.
Verses 32-45 Christ's going on with his undertaking for the salvation of mankind, was, is, and will be, the wonder of all his disciples. Worldly honour is a glittering thing, with which the eyes of Christ's own disciples have many times been dazzled. Our care must be, that we may have wisdom and grace to know how to suffer with him; and we may trust him to provide what the degrees of our glory shall be. Christ shows them that dominion was generally abused in the world. If Jesus would gratify all our desires, it would soon appear that we desire fame or authority, and are unwilling to taste of his cup, or to have his baptism; and should often be ruined by having our prayers answered. But he loves us, and will only give his people what is good for them.
Verses 46-52 Bartimeus had heard of Jesus and his miracles, and learning that he was passing by, hoped to recover his eyesight. In coming to Christ for help and healing, we should look to him as the promised Messiah. The gracious calls Christ gives us to come to him, encourage our hope, that if we come to him we shall have what we come for. Those who would come to Jesus, must cast away the garment of their own sufficiency, must free themselves from every weight, and the sin that, like long garments, most easily besets them, ( Hebrews 12:1 ) . He begged that his eyes might be opened. It is very desirable to be able to earn our bread; and where God has given men limbs and senses, it is a shame, by foolishness and slothfulness, to make themselves, in effect, blind and lame. His eyes were opened. Thy faith has made thee whole: faith in Christ as the Son of David, and in his pity and power; not thy repeated words, but thy faith; Christ setting thy faith to work. Let sinners be exhorted to imitate blind Bartimeus. Where the gospel is preached, or the written words of truth circulated, Jesus is passing by, and this is the opportunity. It is not enough to come to Christ for spiritual healing, but, when we are healed, we must continue to follow him; that we may honour him, and receive instruction from him. Those who have spiritual eyesight, see that beauty in Christ which will draw them to run after him.
Mark 10:1-12 . FINAL DEPARTURE FROM GALILEE--DIVORCE. ( = Matthew 19:1-12 Luke 9:51 ).
Mark 10:13-19 . LITTLE CHILDREN BROUGHT TO CHRIST. ( = Matthew 19:13-15 Luke 18:15-17 ).
Mark 10:17-31 . THE RICH YOUNG RULER. ( = Matthew 19:16-30 Luke 18:18-30 ).
Mark 10:32-45 . THIRD EXPLICIT AND STILL FULLER ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIS APPROACHING SUFFERINGS, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION--THE AMBITIOUS REQUEST OF JAMES AND JOHN, AND THE REPLY. ( = Matthew 20:17-28 Luke 18:31-34 ).
Third Announcement of His approaching Sufferings, Death, and Resurrection ( Mark 10:32-34 ).
32. And they were in the way--on the road.
going up to Jerusalem--in Perea, and probably somewhere between Ephraim and Jericho, on the farther side of the Jordan, and to the northeast of Jerusalem.
and Jesus went before them--as GROTIUS says, in the style of an intrepid Leader.
and they were amazed--or "struck with astonishment" at His courage in advancing to certain death.
and as they followed, they were afraid--for their own safety. These artless, lifelike touches--not only from an eye-witness, but one whom the noble carriage of the Master struck with wonder and awe--are peculiar to Mark, and give the second Gospel a charm all its own; making us feel as if we ourselves were in the midst of the scenes it describes. Well might the poet exclaim:
"The Saviour, what a noble flame Was kindled in His breast, When, hasting to Jerusalem, He march'd before the rest!" COWPER |
And he took again the twelve--referring to His previous announcements on this sad subject.
and began to tell them what things should happen unto him--"were going to befall Him." The word expresses something already begun but not brought to a head, rather than something wholly future.
33. Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem--for the last time, and--"all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished" ( Luke 18:31 ).
the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles--This is the first express statement that the Gentiles would combine with the Jews in His death; the two grand divisions of the human race for whom He died thus taking part in crucifying the Lord of Glory, as WEBSTER and WILKINSON observe.
34. And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again--Singularly explicit as this announcement was, Luke ( Luke 18:34 ) says "they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken." The meaning of the words they could be at no loss to understand, but their import in relation to His Messianic kingdom they could not penetrate; the whole prediction being right in the teeth of their preconceived notions. That they should have clung so tenaciously to the popular notion of an "unsuffering" Messiah, may surprise us; but it gives inexpressible weight to their after-testimony to a suffering and dying Saviour.
Ambitious Request of James and John--The Reply ( Mark 10:35-45 ).
35. And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying--Matthew ( Matthew 20:20 ) says their "mother came to Him with her sons, worshipping Him and desiring," &c. (Compare Matthew 27:56 , with Mark 15:40 ). Salome was her name ( Mark 16:1 ). We cannot be sure with which of the parties the movement originated; but as our Lord, even in Matthew's account, addresses Himself to James and John, taking no account of the mother, it is likely the mother was merely set on by them. The thought was doubtless suggested to her sons by the recent promise to the Twelve of "thrones to sit on, when the Son of man should sit on the throne of His glory" ( Matthew 19:28 ); but after the reproof so lately given them ( Mark 9:33 , &c.). they get their mother to speak for them.
Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire--thus cautiously approaching the subject.
36. And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?--Though well aware what was in their mind and their mother's, our Lord will have the unseemly petition uttered before all.
37. Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory--that is,Assign to us the two places of highest honor in the coming kingdom. The semblance of a plea for so presumptuous a request might possibly have been drawn from the fact that one of the two usually leaned on the breast of Jesus, or sat next Him at meals, while the other was one of the favored three.
38. But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask--How gentle the reply to such a request, preferred at such a time, after the sad announcement just made!
can ye drink of the cup that I drink of?--To "drink of a cup" is in Scripture a figure for getting one's fill either of good ( Psalms 16:5 , 23:5 , 116:13 , Jeremiah 16:7 ) or of ill ( Psalms 75:8 , John 18:11 , Revelation 14:10 ). Here it is the cup of suffering.
and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with--(Compare for the language, Psalms 42:7 ). The object of this question seems to have been to try how far those two men were capable of the dignity to which they aspired and this on the principle that he who is able to suffer most for His sake will be the nearest to Him in His kingdom.
39. And they said unto him, We can--Here we see them owning their mother's petition for them as their own; and doubtless they were perfectly sincere in professing their willingness to follow their Master to any suffering He might have to endure. As for James, he was the first of the apostles who was honored, and showed himself able to be baptized with his Master's baptism of blood ( Acts 12:1 Acts 12:2 ); while John, after going through all the persecutions to which the infant Church was exposed from the Jews, and sharing in the struggles and sufferings occasioned by the first triumphs of the Gospel among the Gentiles, lived to be the victim, after all the rest had got to glory, of a bitter persecution in the evening of his days, for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. Yes, they were dear believers and blessed men, in spite of this unworthy ambition, and their Lord knew it; and perhaps the foresight of what they would have to pass through, and the courageous testimony He would yet receive from them, was the cause of that gentleness which we cannot but wonder at in His reproof.
And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized--No doubt this prediction, when their sufferings at length came upon them, cheered them with the assurance, not that they would sit on His right and left hand--for of that thought they would be heartily ashamed--but that "if they suffered with Him, they should be also glorified together."
40. But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand in not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared--"of My Father" ( Matthew 20:23 ). The supplement which our translators have inserted is approved by some good interpreters, and the proper sense of the word rendered "but" is certainly in favor of it. But besides that it makes the statement too elliptical--leaving too many words to be supplied--it seems to make our Lord repudiate the right to assign to each of His people his place in the kingdom of glory; a thing which He nowhere else does, but rather the contrary. It is true that He says their place is "prepared for them by His Father." But that is true of their admission to heaven at all; and yet from His great white throne Jesus will Himself adjudicate the kingdom, and authoritatively invite into it those on His right hand, calling them the "blessed of His Father"; so little inconsistency is there between the eternal choice of them by His Father, and that public adjudication of them, not only to heaven in general, but each to his own position in it, which all Scripture assigns to Christ. The true rendering, then, of this clause, we take it, is this: "But to sit on My right hand and on My left hand is not Mine to give, save to them for whom it is prepared." When therefore He says, "It is not Mine to give," the meaning is, "I cannot give it as a favor to whomsoever I please, or on a principle of favoritism; it belongs exclusively to those for whom it is prepared," &c. And if this be His meaning, it will be seen how far our Lord is from disclaiming the right to assign to each his proper place in His Kingdom; that on the contrary, He expressly asserts it, merely announcing that the principle of distribution is quite different from what these petitioners supposed. Our Lord, it will be observed, does not deny the petition of James and John, or say they shall not occupy the place in His kingdom which they now improperly sought:--for aught we know, that may be their true place. All we are sure of is, that their asking it was displeasing to Him "to whom all judgment is committed," and so was not fitted to gain their object, but just the reverse. (See what is taught in Luke 14:8-11 ). One at least of these brethren, as ALFORD strikingly remarks, saw on the right and on the left hand of their Lord, as He hung upon the tree, the crucified thieves; and bitter indeed must have been the remembrance of this ambitious prayer at that moment.
41. And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John--or "were moved with indignation," as the same word is rendered in Matthew 20:24 . The expression "began to be," which is of frequent occurrence in the Gospels, means that more passed than is expressed, and that we have but the result. And can we blame the ten for the indignation which they felt? Yet there was probably a spice of the old spirit of rivalry in it, which in spite of our Lord's recent lengthened, diversified, and most solemn warnings against it, had not ceased to stir in their breasts.
42. But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule--are recognized or acknowledged as rulers.
over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them: and their great ones exercise authority upon them--as superiors exercising an acknowledged authority over inferiors.
43. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister--a subordinate servant.
44. And whosoever of you will be the chiefest--or "first."
shall be--that is, "let him be, or "shall be he who is prepared to be."
servant of all--one in the lowest condition of service.
45. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many--"instead of many," that is, "In the kingdom about to be set up, this principle shall have no place. All My servants shall there be equal; and the only greatness known to it shall be the greatness of humility and devotedness to the service of others. He that goes down the deepest in these services of self-denying humility shall rise the highest and hold the chiefest place in that kingdom; even as the Son of man, whose abasement and self-sacrifice for others, transcending all, gives Him of right a place above all!" As "the Word in the beginning with God," He was ministered unto; and as the risen Redeemer in our nature He now is ministered unto, "angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto Him" ( 1 Peter 3:22 ); but not for this came He hither. The Served of all came to be the Servant of all; and His last act was the grandest Service ever beheld by the universe of God--"HE GAVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY!", &c. Many" is here to be taken, not in contrast with few or with all, but in opposition to one--the one Son of man for the many sinners.
Mark 10:46-52 . BLIND BARTIMAEUS HEALED. ( = Matthew 20:29-34 , Luke 18:35-43 ).

starsA new processor leads to less noise at higher ISOs and faster performance, and built-in...
Following up Panasonic's video darling, the DMC-GH1, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 delivers some important enhancements, including a much-needed HDMI connector. Its price and feature set--by accident or design--targets photo and video enthusiasts rather than the entry-level point-and-shoot upgrader.
The combination of a new sensor in the GH2 and some improved JPEG processing on Panasonic's part has resulted in some of the best image quality we've seen in the company's cameras to date. For example, in most Panasonic cameras--including the good ones, like the LX5--even the lowest ISO-sensitivity shots are riddled with color noise. That said, there's unfortunately still quite a bit of noise in midrange-to-high ISO JPEG shots; I can't suggest shooting higher than ISO 200 for JPEG unless absolutely necessary. However, depending upon the scene, you can buy about two stops of usability by processing raw files instead of using the JPEGs. You still lose some dynamic range and detail, but even a quick-and-dirty processing in software delivers far better results than Panasonic's internal algorithms.
And keep in mind that you can definitely get better results with a fast prime lens, even with the JPEGs. However, the GH2 rates just OK on color accuracy and auto white balance, and JPEGs develop an excessively yellow cast in low light because of the color noise.
The 14-140-millimeter kit lens (28-280mm equivalent) is pretty sharp, with nice geometry--there's probably some in-camera correction happening, but I don't see any of the artificial-looking straight lines that the correction usually produces--though there's some distortion around the edges, which can result in fringing. It's pretty good away from the edges, though. But it's also really slow; its widest aperture is f4.5 at 14mm, narrowing to f5.8 by the time you get to 140mm, which really limits the lens' flexibility. The 10x zoom range sounds really convenient, but not if you can only use it in very bright conditions. It's pretty quiet while focusing and zooming during video capture, though.
For video, the most important update in the GH2 is a new sensor that drives at a higher frame rate--it can natively output 60p vs. 24p, though AVCHD limits the actual recorded video to 1080/60i. That, and a bump to the AVCHD maximum bit rate of 24 Mbps (albeit only in 24p mode), delivers improved results over the GH1; it's equivalent to current AVCHD-based prosumer camcorders. The video does look exceptionally good, even in moderately low light (though you can see the same color shifts as in stills there). It's sharp and clean, with few artifacts--no rolling shutter or obvious moire. Note that 24p, with its progressive output and higher bit rate, delivers visibly better results than 60i, especially with respect to background detail. Panasonic's lens and body combination gives very good autofocus performance, doing better at locking and holding focus even in challenging conditions that can stymie some camcorders.
One of the more interesting features is variable frame-rate recording: 80, 160, 200, and 300 percent speeds based off 24p. It's silent, as you'd expect, and works seamlessly and well.
The audio quality with the built-in stereo mics is also quite nice--clear and crisp, if a bit bright. The mic is relatively sensitive, and there are five reference levels you can set plus four levels of wind filtering and an onscreen meter. There's no way to reduce its omnidirectionality, though, so if you plan to shoot interview-type footage you'll definitely need to plug in an external mic.
I also got a chance to shoot with Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds 3D lens, which consists of dual fixed-focus f12 12mm lenses (note that the 35mm angle-of-view equivalent is about 57mm because each lens covers less than half of the sensor). The camera simultaneously shoots a 2D JPEG using one of the lenses along with a standard 3D MPO file. It's nice for a lark--most of the random stuff I shot and viewed on a Panasonic 3D TV did display depth and novelty value--but you have no manual exposure controls when shooting in 3D and the camera doesn't support movie capture with the lens.
While not best overall, the GH2's still-shooting performance can certainly compete with class leaders, and is improved a lot over the GH1's. It's still a bit slow on start-up--it takes about 1.3 seconds to power on, focus, and shoot--but it can focus and shoot in 0.3 second in good light and 0.6 second in dim. JPEG shot-to-shot time runs 0.6 second, which increases to 0.8 second for raw; with flash enabled it jumps to about 1.5 seconds. For continuous shooting the camera averages about 4fps.

Publix is adding some beef to a burgeoning Cleveland market that some believe is already fat with grocers, according to an early October confirmation by the Florida-based company whose shopping aisles are stretching longer and wider across the Southeast.
Groundwork for the 54,700-square-foot grocery in Mouse Creek Crossing at the corner of Peerless Road and Paul Huff Parkway has been under way for weeks. Construction is set to begin sometime in early 2013, for the massive store that is expected to employ about 100 workers.
Once the build begins, it should be completed within 10 months, said Brenda Reid, media and community relations manager for a Publix regional office in Marietta, Ga.
News of the Publix commitment to move into town landed the company in the Top 10 News Stories of 2012, by vote of the Cleveland Daily Banner staff writers and editors. The Publix story is No. 9 on the list whose countdown continues through Dec. 31.
"We look forward to being good community partners in Cleveland," Reid told the Banner on Oct. 5.
She added, "We have been anxiously awaiting the close of this deal so we can get in there and bring our shopping experience to our customers ... and we look forward to it."
Although the Publix name had been rumored for years to be coming to Cleveland, it didn't surface in an open government meeting until Sept. 27, 2012. At that time, Bart Borden, vice president of the Cleveland Utilities Electric Division, reported CU engineers had begun working with Publix representatives to review power needs for a new store in town.
Borden's comments came during a formal monthly session of the Cleveland Board of Public Utilities.
Although the secret was out, Publix remained tight-lipped, as evidenced by Reid's email in response to a Banner inquiry about the company's intent.
"Publix does not comment on sites until we have a signed lease, and at this time, we do not have a signed lease for a store in Cleveland, Tennessee," she wrote.
The final signature hit the dotted line a week later, prompting Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland and authorized Publix representatives to issue a joint statement that confirmed the giant grocer's entry into the busy local market.
"It's great for our community when folks — whether outside or within our geographic area — are willing to invest in Cleveland," Rowland said. "This shows our community is continuing to grow, that companies everywhere are interested in seeing what we have to offer and that our economy is faring much better than the average."
He added, "Companies are looking at Cleveland and Bradley County for a reason; in fact, for many reasons, and we certainly are grateful they like what they're seeing."
Cleveland is already home to popular grocery outlets like Cooke's, BI-LO, Fresh N' Low Cost Plus Foods, Walmart, Aldi and Food Lion.
Rowland said welcoming Publix to Cleveland will offer further choice for local and regional shoppers.
"Our existing supermarkets have served, and continue to serve, as invaluable supporters of this community," the longtime mayor said. "They give us selection. They give us quality. And they have always given of themselves in support of education, families in need and nonprofit causes."
Rowland added, "And now we welcome a new member to our growing family. Publix will bring its own brand of involvement, its own mission statement of quality and its own commitment to community and investment in family."
The mayor said he believes Publix, and all existing grocery stores in the area, will find their niche among area consumers.
Reid said the new Cleveland store — whose total investment she would not disclose — is similar in size to the existing supermarket in Ooltewah that opened in 2008. It contains 54,000 square feet. However, since the Ooltewah outlet opened, Publix has altered the design of its new stores which is a company strategy every few years.
The new design is best reflected in the look and feel of a Publix that opened in Knoxville in August, she explained. The Cleveland store will closely parallel the design and layout of the Knoxville structure.
Because the company operates stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee, it is no stranger to competition, Reid pointed out.
"... It's not unusual for us to compete with all of these great competitors," she said. The Publix regional rep pointed out, "... we focus on making sure that our associates are friendly and knowledgeable, and the quality of our products is superior."
The Publix motto is "... to be the best supermarket we can be; we want to be the best model in the world as far as supermarkets," Reid said.
She pointed out the company's main focus is customer service, but that all its stores are supportive of their communities.
"[It] is part of our mission statement to support the communities where we do business," Reid confirmed. "Programs we support include education, youth, homelessness and hunger-related causes."
The Publix business plan is not complicated.
"The way we go to market is to offer an exceptional shopping experience," Reid stressed. "While our competitors do a great job with their model, our model is geared toward providing the best shopping experience possible."
This includes competitive pricing, product selection and clean, well-lit stores, she said.
Cleveland Realtor Loye Hamilton and George Chase, ARS Ventures LLC of Atlanta, represented Publix in negotiations with the city of Cleveland and local developers.

About 200 media personnel and their families were special guests at the dinner attraction on March 29 — now in its 27th season. Hostess Dolly Parton (by video) welcomed the crowd seated in the huge 30,000-square-foot arena.
And on the arena floor, horses and festooned riders, wagons, animals and people kept excitement on a high note as dinner was served — creamy soup, homemade biscuit, a whole rotisserie chicken, baked potato, barbecued pork tenderloin, corn on the cob and, for dessert, an apple turnover.
No wonder Dixie Stampede is known as "The Most Fun Place to Eat in the Smokies." You could say it was hard to go from food to show as 32 horses went through barrel races and other tricks as the North and South were in competition.
In its 27th season, some favorites were in evidence — the miniature horse race and the audience participation contests: bucket brigade and "horseshoe" throw for adults and the chicken chase and pig race for children — the North and South teams alternately rooted to victory by the fans with stomping and yelling.
The appearance of buffalo was a surprise in the show and helped establish the theme of American patriotism. Comedy routines served to keep clean humor as part of the family entertainment and the finale brought everyone to recognize our country. Using state-of-the-art audio and video technology, the arena floor was filled with the image of an American flag blowing in the breeze as a dozen horses and riders presented the nation's colors in choreographed pageantry set to "Color Me America!," which was written and performed by Dolly.
"When I wrote 'Color Me America!,' I never dreamed the song would be brought to life quite like this," she said. "When that giant American flag fills the area, you just swell with pride. Between the finale and a few other surprises we've worked into the show, I just know families will be talking about Dixie Stampede all the way home."
And "all the way home" could mean from to California, Virginia, Mississippi or Kentucky ... guests hailed from so many states, it was hard to recognize all of them. One couple came from Ohio with their 6-year-old son — it was his first trip to the Stampede. They said they had a long weekend and decided to come to Pigeon Forge — it has become a tradition every spring.
The Dixie Stampede dinner shows are performed daily. Showtimes and reservations are available by calling 800-356-1676 or visiting www.dixiestampede.com.
Dixie Stampede is a sponsor of Imagination Library, Dolly Parton's free book program for preschoolers. Every child in our area receives a free age-specific book each month from birth to age 5, a total of 60 books and a Little Engine bookcase. Dixie Stampede has contributed more than $10 million to the program and has distributed more than 50 million books worldwide.

Veggie Patch Meatless Chick'n Cutlets are a vegetarian alternative to breaded chicken patties. I received samples to review, and one evening I heated this up in the microwave and presented it to the kids cut up like chicken nuggets/ strips for as their after-school snack - and of course, I had it myself as well.
The kids often act as my taste testers and in this case - the resident chicken nugget expert (7 years old) LOVED this and couldn't get enough. And I have to say that I totally agree - Veggie Patch Chik'n Cutlets ROCKS hard! The patties are thin, and crunchy and there are no weird soy-ish flavors going on. The texture is not-exactly meat-like, but it's close enough that you won't miss real breaded "chicken" if you go with this.
Each cutlet provides 140 calories, 6 grams of total fat, 1 gram of which is saturated fat (9% and 4% of the daily value), 16% of the DV for sodium, 3 grams of fiber (10% of the DV), 1 gram of sugars and 10 grams of protein.
The ingredients list is all-natural and vegetarian. A 10 ounce box with 4 cutlets costs $4.99 at my local grocery store.
The breaded Veggie Patch Chik'n Cutlets is a good product to have on hand for those days when you need to make lunch or dinner quickly - I cut it up and used it as chicken strips for the kids, but I also added it to my salad to jazz it up - not to mention it would also be great in a veggie burger.

Jaundice occurs when excess bilirubin builds up in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow-brown colored substance in bile. Bile is a liquid that carries waste products and bilirubin away from the liver. It also helps break down fats in the small intestine. It is formed during the body's normal process of breaking down red blood cells.
There are several reasons why too much bilirubin can build up in the blood. They include:
- Excess breakdown of red blood cells, which can occur in:
A blockage in or near the liver that prevents the flow of bile, such as:
- Gallstones or pancreatitis
- A tumor in the liver or bile duct
- Pancreatic cancer
- Congenital defects
- Pregnancy
Liver, Gallbladder, and Bile ductCopyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. -
Liver damage caused by:
- Viral hepatitis
- Cirrhosis
- Alcoholic liver disease
- Adverse effects of certain medicines or environmental toxins
- In babies, insufficient amounts of a certain liver enzyme during the first two weeks of life
- Inherited metabolic disorders, including Gilbert , Crigler-Nager, and Dubin-Johnson syndromes
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chances of getting jaundice are similar to risk factors for liver and gallbladder disorders. They may include:
- Drinking too much alcohol
- Using illicit drugs
- Taking medicines that may harm the liver
- Being exposed to hepatitis A , hepatitis B , or hepatitis C
- Being exposed to certain industrial chemicals
Jaundice may indicate another condition or disease. In addition to jaundice, you may experience other symptoms. Symptoms may include:
- Fatigue
- Itching
- Fever or chills
- Unexplained weight loss
Your doctor will ask you questions about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. In order to make a diagnosis on what is causing jaundice, your doctor may recommend tests. Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Ultrasound
- CT scan
- Cholangiography
- ERCP test
- Laparoscopy
- Liver biopsy
In most other types of jaundice, the specific condition causing it must be treated. There are many treatments that may be used for liver and gallbladder problems depending on the exact condition. They include:
- Avoiding a substance, like alcohol or medication, that is causing the condition
- Addressing the cause of anemia
- Taking medication to treat infectious diseases
Relieving bile duct obstructions by:
- Excising tumors
- Extracting gallstones
- Removing the gallbladder
- Treating pancreatitis
Mild jaundice in newborns is common and usually clears without treatment. If bilirubin levels rise above a certain level, the baby may receive phototherapy , which is treatment with a special ultraviolet light. In Gilbert syndrome, jaundice tends to clear without treatment.
If you are diagnosed with jaundice, follow your doctor's instructions .
Prevention depends on the disorder causing jaundice. You may not be able to prevent some of the disorders. However, you can take the steps below to decrease your chance of developing liver disease:
- Limit your alcohol intake to no more than two drinks a day for men or one drink a day for women.
- Be careful mixing alcohol with over-the-counter and prescription medication.
- Avoid exposure to industrial chemicals.
- Do not use illicit drugs.
- Do not share needles or nasal snorting equipment.
- Practice safe sex.
- To decrease your risk of hepatitis A, get the hepatitis A vaccine .
- To decrease your risk of hepatitis B, get the hepatitis B vaccine .

Last week in Connecticut, a theory was put forth: that the three asset managers who'd come forward with the winning Powerball ticket were doing so as a favor for a client who was too embarrassed to do so himself. To the naked eye, this seemed to check out. First off, it took Brandon Lacoff, Tim Davidson, and Gregg Skidmore nearly a month to claim their $252 million prize, and they only did so after lottery officials essentially waged a manhunt to find them. Second, they didn't seem excited at all about their post-tax lump sum of $103 million. No smiles, no jazz hands, no chest bumps for the camera. Third, the guys all work for a firm called Belpointe Capital, an asset manager that, while it affords them the luxury of living in Fairfield County, is not at the point where it's making everyone rich beyond the dreams of avarice or where the principals are in a position to be telling clients what's what or failing to acquiesce to their demands, unconventional as they may be. Finally, a "person familiar with the matter" swore it was true. So most people chose to accept the theory and move on with their lives. The crack investigative team at the Stamford Advocate, however, decided this wasn't over. Instead, they demanded to see a copy of the ticket, in addition to "passport and driver's licenses of the winning trio and a photocopy of a check made out for $103,586,824 to a trust set up by Davidson, Lacoff, and Skidmore," all of which they were able to obtain it under the Freedom Of Information Act, which was conceived with exactly this sort of matter of public importance in mind.
Upon viewing Davidson's signatureprinted name on the above scan, despite being unclear what it proves exactly other than that he signed the ticket after the fact, one might be satisfied that three men did in fact pool 33, 33, and 34 cents each to buy that winning ticket. Like the Advocate, however, someone else is not yet finished here. Read more »

ELLE DECOR Goes to Rome
The city of Bernini and Fellini continues to dazzle the eye and delight the palate, and its many new cultural treasures only add to its allure.
By Elle Decor Staff
In Italy, the balance between work and play slants precipitously toward the latter activity the farther south you travel down the boot. In Milan, working hard incites praise and respect, whereas in Rome, you'd be laughed at for wasting time on such an unpleasant pursuit. Indeed, there is no city in the world that acts less like a transaction-happy metropolis and more like an emerald-water beachfront than Rome, where the days are long, lazy, and irresistibly beautiful.
"Rome puts people in a good mood," says Antonio Monfreda, a set designer and architect who helped create Valentino's 45-year retrospective at Ara Pacis in 2007. "The city never makes you feel stressed out about not working. It's about beauty, enjoyment, and the possibility of being inspired."
