BHUBANESWAR: Blood component separation procedure at the state's only model blood bank in Bhubaneswar has been nonfunctional for the past six months because of problems in the storage unit. The procedure is important in view of recent spurt in dengue cases as patients of the vector-borne disease need only platelets of blood.
The state has reported over 90 cases of dengue this season and two deaths from the disease. In dengue hemorrhagic fever, patients generally lose platelets count and require transfusion of the particular part of blood. Patients of different diseases need different components such as platelets, plasma, red blood cells or white blood cells, doctors said.
Sources said the blood bank being managed by state branch of the Indian Red Cross inside Capital Hospital had to stop component separation around six months ago after the directorate of drugs controller pointed out that one of the two deep-freeze refrigerators in the bank was lying defunct. The refrigerator, which is worth over Rs 8 lakh, maintains the mandatory temperature of 80 degree centigrade to store components. The second one is needed as a back-up support.
The refrigerator installed in the blood bank using National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) funds in 2007 went out of order in 2011. The blood bank continued the component separation procedure with one refrigerator for a few months before the drugs controller pointed out the lapse and put a temporary moratorium on the procedure till the storage device is made functional. Six months have elapsed but the procedure is yet to re-start.
Red Cross authorities blamed the executing personnel at the Khurda district level for the delay in restoring the vital process. "We have told the district blood bank managing committee umpteen times to either repair the refrigerator or purchase a new one. Funds are not a problem," said Red Cross state honorary secretary Dr Mangala Mohanty.
Blood bank authorities said the process will be restored soon. "Expression of interest for a new storage unit besides latest technology for component extraction will be out soon," said blood bank officer (BBO) Dr Debasish Mishra. He said the process was delayed because the authorities first tried to explore the possibility of repairing the machine, which was not possible.
The model blood bank is only the second blood bank in government sector in the state capital having component separation facility, the other being at the Municipal Hospital. In Odisha, only 11 of the 82 blood banks have component separation facility.

Hope yall are are up for a funny story this morning! So the other day I was prepping for a campaign shoot for a client. I came across these bad ass hand-dyed lavendar shorts and instantly knew I had to buy the last pair that was available. Just my luck..happens that the last pair available was 2 sizes too small for me but bought em anyways… what the heck its only 2 sizes right? WRONG!
After a near death experience of trying to get these shorts over my hips.. all of a sudden I see (in slow motion) the jeans ripping from bottom up. And what is that? A Leopard underlay? ummm no …say hello to my leopard cotton panties. I completely & accidently ripped these jeans in the worst way possible. Instantly I knew this would make a great DIY project (inspired by Balmain).
Sometimes you can turn Trash into treasures. Once a pair of trashy, underwear exposing, short shorts…NOW they are a pair of safety pin-embellished, rip-effect, distressed cutoffs! Do you have any jeans, shorts, or shirts that are already ripped up or possibly needs a little pick-me-up? Try doing what I did and turn your Trash into Treasures!

Hi . Does anyone here have experience with 1and1 eshop?
I am thinking of purchasing 1and1 hosting plan to create an ecommerce site.
Please provide detailed instructions on how I can go about making this happen.
1. List of things I would need to do to get this site up and running.
2. Technical stuff I would need to know (I have experience in web development, but i have no exp. with ecommerce.). Would I need to do some development work or is the eshop template they provide basically the entire site and you just have to plug in your logo, content, etc. is this relatively straightforward to do?
3. List of other stuff to know like how to set up the payment process. How would I link my bank account (e-merchant account?) to the ecommerce site to accept payment, etc. Not familiar with this process and would appreciate detailed explanation.
Please help.. not just put up a link to some web hosting site and say all the answers are there. Thanks in advance

I don't have experience with that particular product, but my experience with 1 and 1 on other products is horrendous. Horrible service. High level of down-times. A "technical support" function that consists of saying "we apologize" in different manners of broken English.

I can sell you one of my websites from stores online if you like it has all those tools and live support I have 3 of them and have not got any up and running. except to play with..I am just slightly challenged in that department which really makes if fun.. not funny.
seriously if you want to buy it……I will sell it for what it cost.
Iam very VERY confused on how to do this: I need to make a database driven ecommerce site and not sure how to do this ? Iam learning sql now. But do I buy a template that I can customize or do I make the entite site from scratch ?
If I do but a template on template monster .com , do I just add a shopping cart and cms , ect….?
Can you pleae tell me in ORDER how to begin this ? ( this is my first site)
Answer by gandalfoo
Why reinvent the wheel!?
With Joomla, Virtue Mart and a web hosting service that gives you php/mysql an apache webserver on a linux server, that is all you need…and in less than 1 hour you can have a fully functional e-commerce site…or any other site.
Joomal.org get the latest joomla software (FREE, always being updated, improved, full of community forum support and documentation)
extensions.joomla.org has THOUSANDS of free extensions (i.e. Virtue Mart) that will give you a fully functional e-commerce component for joomla that you can install in under 5 minutes.
and there are thousands of webhosting services out there…
dreamhost, mediatemple, netfirms, godaddy, etc…
and look on google for free joomla templates…
or join a template club…I recommend joomlart.com and rockettheme.com
The rest is self-explanatory.
Good luck…
You won't even have to know how to program anything…
Answer by thestorez
Start reading some white papers online, also read some books like http://www.thestorez.com/index.php/1-hour-website-120-professional-web-templates-skin-8126511184-bjgjmioqik.html
Alternatively, choose from good open source shopping carts like http://www.zen-cart.com/
The book by Dhruv Nath, Professor, Management Deveopment Institute, Gurgaon is also very good to get the basics of e-commerce in India:
Answer by two pi
I certainly can tell you in order how to do this. In fact, I did, but it took up about 900 pages. I don't think Yahoo will let me reproduce the entire book here. My publisher wouldn't be so happy about it either, but you can have all my notes and examples for free even if you don't buy the book (see link below.)
You can definitely do this. Most of the tools you need are free (and included in my book's CD-ROM,) and it's something that isn't too difficult to learn, but it is time-consuming.
The real question is whether learning web development is more important than your core business. Learning the skills you will need to build this site yourself will probably consume between months and years of your time. It might make more sense to invest in a web developer who can help you get started quickly and then let you take over the site when it's established. (Now that you mention it, I can do that for you cheaply – often under $ 500 – depending on your specific needs.)
Whether you want to learn how to build your site or you'd prefer I build one for you, drop me a line through yahoo or visit my site:
I'm looking forward to hearing from you…

Just as Nadia brought Katherine to her car, she found Silas was waiting for them. He put a GPS tracker on her car, because it was "better than a locator spell." Ha! And now that he'd found them, Silas ordered Nadia to point her gun at her own heart just before he fell to his knees and both he and Stefan started bleeding from their gorgeous green eyes. Oh Tessa, you are NOT on my good side right now.
Although she said nothing about the state of Stefan's beautiful eyes, Tessa explained that all she did was burn through his conscious mind, so he would wake up soon enough. Then she explained to Damon that maybe he should leave Stefan with her so that his guilt doesn't start messing with his relationship with Elena. Apparently, the tale of Elena and the Salvatore brothers was Tessa's favorite soap opera on the other side. For centuries, Tessa watched as doppelgangers found each other, their love conquering all. Destiny's on their side, which makes Damon just like her. But Damon wasn't listening. He told her to go to hell, which only got him knocked out. He woke up just in time to watch Elena find Stefan.
Now it was time for Nadia and Silas' second phone call, in which he explained that his ex-fiancé must be around, and "reconciliation isn't really her thing." They both want the cure, and they won't stop until they get it. And just after Silas delivered the zinger of the night to Katherine -- "It's funny. The love of my life looked exactly like you but the mere thought of your face makes me want to vomit." -- he gave us the fourth shocking reveal of the night: The cure is running through Katherine's veins. Her blood is now the cure. (So now will more people take it?!)
Back in Mystic Falls, Matt was back to himself, but after a phone call from Elena and mud on his boots, he realized something was wrong. Let's just hope he doesn't think he's going crazy Alaric-style. At the Salvatore house, Elena put Stefan's ring back on and asked Damon about what Tessa told him. He explained that they didn't have a chance because of the universe. "We're a lost cause no matter what we do," he told Elena. But Damon was stronger than some witch's story. "No one tells me who I love," he said. Destiny won't stop Damon "because you are my life," he told Elena. Even though this made me think of Edward Cullen, I still swooned. It sounded so good coming from those lips. But before Damon could kiss his woman (who was doing a fair share of swooning herself), Stefan woke up. Damon welcomed his brother back, but something was off. Time for shocking reveal number five. Stefan: "I have no idea who you people are."
WHAT?! I can't take this, guys! I'm freaking out! What do you think of Tessa? She's kind of fun in a totally horrible and crazy way, right?! And is Nadia a vampire of some sort? More importantly, do you feel bad for Silas now? At the end of the day, all the guy ever wanted was to be with his true love. He's the definition of a hopeless romantic (maybe literally -- he is really old after all). And what is going to happen with our favorite love triangle: Damon and Elena seem to be standing their ground, but Stefan was just quite literally reset, which could make things interesting. Will destiny eventually overcome Delena? Or the other way around? How many secrets does Tessa know about the Salvatores considering they were her favorite soap opera for 2,000 years? Also, how hot was Greek Silas?! Hit the comments below!

Individuals eligible for learning disability services at Kenyon College's Student Accessibility Support Services must meet the following criteria. It should be noted, however, that in all cases, eligibility determination is made on a case-by-case basis.
All students must provide the Student Accessibility Support services (SASS) with a current diagnostic report that includes a specific statement of diagnosis, actual test scores and, if available, the most recent IEP & Multifactored Evaluation report (see Documentation Guidelines for specific guidelines regarding learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD and psychological disabilities).
The documentation must be based on a psycho-educational test battery that includes both intelligence/ability testing and educational/achievement testing. All test scores, including subtest scores, should be included.
For transfer students, the most recent copy of psycho-educational testing which validates the diagnosis is required. It is also recommended that these students provide written verification from the previously attended school that includes an account of the accommodations used. Eligibility for services at another postsecondary institution does not automatically make a student eligible for services at Kenyon College. Eligibility determination is made on a case-by-case basis.
A 504 Plan in and of itself does not substantiate a learning disability. A 504 Plan will be reviewed in conjunction with a comprehensive psycho-educational test battery on a case by case basis.
*There are several situations where individuals do not meet the eligibility criteria. They include but are not limited to:
1. Letters or reports used documentation from such professionals as medical doctors, optometrists or speech pathologists who have not administered a psycho-educational test battery to make a diagnosis.
2. Psycho-educational test reports that do not specifically state the individual is learning disabled.
3. A 504 Plan that is not supported by a diagnosis of a learning disability.

BBSRC look to the future following Review of Bioenergy
26 May 2006
A review of Bioenergy Research published today by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) has concluded that basic bioscience will be vital in the development of future options for bioenergy within a framework of environmental and economic sustainability. It has also found that BBSRC is well positioned to make a unique contribution.
The review, carried out by an expert panel, was commissioned last year in response to the Government's Energy White Paper which outlined a long-term vision for energy policy. BBSRC is now asking for views on the review.
Dr Paul Burrows, Head of BBSRC's Strategy Planning Unit, commented: "Bioenergy is an area of rapidly increasing interest for scientists, policy makers and the public. This review tackled important questions about how fundamental bioscience funded by BBSRC can facilitate the development of knowledge, skills and tools to best enable the future of bioenergy whilst complementing the work already taking place in this area by other Research Councils, Government and Industry."
The findings have been welcomed by BBSRC Strategy Board which is inviting feedback from the wider community to help consider the role BBSRC should play in shaping the future of bioscience research relevant to bioenergy.
Key questions in the consultation include; should bioenergy research be a priority in the UK, should it be publicly funded and who should be taking lead responsibility for bioenergy research?
Dr Burrows added: "BBSRC hopes a wide variety of stakeholders will respond in order to explore the big issues as well as those specific to the needs and interests of the science community. These views will help inform BBSRC's future strategic outlook for bioenergy-relevant bioscience and increase the transparency and effectiveness of BBSRC priority setting and funding strategies."
Notes to editors
The wider community and the public are invited to submit their views on the future priorities for BBSRC research on bionenergy. These views will contribute to BBSRC strategy in this area which will be published in the next Delivery Plan (Spring 2007).
The deadline for responses is 31 August 2006.
The review was considered by BBSRC's Strategy Board at its meeting on 7 March 2006.

Made a special trip for the Alyeska Hotel to town to eat here only to find it was closed. I had eaten here before and had a great meal. Was really disappointed that it was closed and the travel literature wasn't updated
The Mexican place is next door but I had to go to the laundromat as IT WON THE LAUNDROMAT OF THE YEAR AWARD in Alaska.

We're from California and this place is d@/! Good. Funny friendly staff and massive tasty burritos. 100% worth a stop.
Mexican, kind-of. Some folks from California run it, so I guess that qualifies one to make Mexican food. Connected to a laundry mat, so it's convenient if you're doing the weekly wash. Nice atmosphere on the deck during the summer.
This hole-in-the wall is attached to laundromat that was voted #1 (at least that is what the sign said). The restaurant is tiny, but the place was SPOTLESS, as was the laundromat. Food was very good.
food was okay ..average and the host was nice..good location ..outdoor seating available ..close to hiking places
Food was very good. Kudos on local, natural and some organic ingredients. Dining room is small and very loud (friday night). It's a spot where the small town locals congregate.

my wife and i eat at casa at least once a week and i would eat there more often if i didn't already work in a restaurant. the food is always amazing and fresh and i always leave satisfied. the burritos are two meals in one and 3 tacos is enough for just about anyone.
While personel is not mexican, they proudly serve genuine mexican food. The smell really reminded us our travels to that beautiful country. You gotta have their wet burrito (huge burrito filled with meat, beans and cheese topped with their homemade salsa (muy picante!), more cheese, more than decent guacamole and sour cream.

Abbey increases rates and slashes maximum loan for offset
Abbey for Intermediaries is increasing rates on a number of its fixed and tracker mortgage products from tomorrow by between 0.10 per cent and 0.50 per cent.
It has also almost halved the maximum loan amount on its flexible offset product from £1m down to £550,000.
In addition, the lender is withdrawing selected no-fee two-year, three-year and five-year fixed rate products at 60 per cent, 75 per cent and 85 per cent LTV and selected two-year tracker remortgage products at 85 per cent LTV.
A spokeswoman for Abbey for Intermediaries says: "Like all lenders, we constantly review our range in line with market conditions and competitor movements. We are committed to supporting the housing market and continue to offer a wide range of competitive products to meet borrowers' needs."
Avenue & Co Private Finance specialist lending director Ketan Yadav says the reduction in Abbey's offset loan size is highly significant and will impact on its business levels.
He says: "Abbey will lose a lot of business from professional high earners who have loans in excess of £550,000 and often offset bonuses and income from property developments against their mortgage.
"By way of comparison, many medium-sized building societies will lend up to at least £750,000 on an offset basis."

Dear Kitchen Friends, I humbly apologize, but I am cross-posting this inquiry that I posted on Appliances. KF receives, I think, quite a bit more traffic and my timeline is tight. I am looking to buy a low-cost dishwasher to replace my elderly parents' failing DW, and I need to do this quickly as I am only here for a few days. They are really just looking for a basic DW that will clean reasonably well for less than $500. In fact, they would be much happier with suggestions in the $300-400 range. Quietness of operation and, unfortunately, expected longevity are not big concerns. They presently have bisque appliances. Bisque is not an absolute requirement, but it would make it easier to "sell" the idea to them. I checked Sears Outlet, and there is a bisque KA Superba KUDS30IXBT available at just over $500. I know the higher-end KAs enjoy a moderately good reputation here, but not sure about the Superba. Any ideas? Thanks so much! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by debrak_2008 (My Page) on Wed, May 29, 13 at 10:37
I know nothing about the superba. I would get the bisque as I'm thinking that they probably are not doing heavy cooking so the washing needs would be moderate. Probably most DWs would be ok. If why like bisque get that. |

Geoff Greenwood, Communications Director 515-281-6699, email@example.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, January 4, 2013
(DES MOINES, Iowa) Attorney General Tom Miller reminds thousands of Iowans who qualify for a foreclosure-related one-time payment, that the claim deadline is January 18.
More than 11,000 Iowa borrowers who lost their home to foreclosure between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011 are likely eligible for a payment under the $25 billion national mortgage settlement that Miller announced in February. In September, Miller's office, in conjunction with a settlement administrator, notified potentially qualified borrowers and then mailed claim forms. In Iowa, about 56 percent of those who received notices have filed claims.
Eligible borrowers had mortgages serviced by Ally/GMAC, Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, the nation's five largest mortgage servicers that agreed to the settlement with the federal government and attorneys general for 49 states and the District of Columbia. Miller led the effort on behalf of state attorneys general.
Those who qualify make at least one of the following claims through a simple form: they were unable to pay; their mortgage servicing company mishandled the process involving their loan modification or foreclosure alternative; or the servicer made errors during the foreclosure process.
The settlement, which took effect in April, set aside funds for borrowers who lost their homes to foreclosure during that period and had their loan serviced by one of the settling servicers. Nationally, the settlement allocated approximately $1.5 billion in payments for 1.75 million loans, including approximately $7.4 million to more than 11,000 Iowans. The exact payment will depend on the total number of borrowers who participate nationwide. All money in this fund will be paid to borrowers, and will not revert to the government or mortgage servicers.
"I hope any Iowan who received our notice in the mail responds to it, because they likely qualify for money that they're entitled to under the settlement," Miller said. "This is partial compensation for the mortgage servicers' illegal conduct and servicing abuse."
Borrowers who qualify and participate do not give up any legal rights, Miller noted, meaning that those who accept the payment can also pursue other legal remedies such as filing a lawsuit or participating in a class action case.
Miller urged eligible Iowa borrowers to complete their claim forms and return them as soon as possible in the envelope provided, or file them online at www.nationalmortgagesettlement.com. Payment checks are expected to be mailed in mid-2013.
Free claim form assistance available
The one-page claim forms are simple to complete. However, borrowers who have questions or need help filing their claim can contact the settlement administrator, toll-free, at 1-866-430-8358, or send questions by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. The information line is staffed Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central.
Payment won't stop other legal claims
Miller said eligible borrowers do not need to prove financial harm to receive a payment, nor do they give up their rights to pursue a lawsuit against their mortgage servicer or to participate in other programs. More information about that program is available at www.independentforeclosurereview.com.
Eligible borrowers may get a payment from this settlement even if they participate in another foreclosure claims process. However, any payment received may reduce payments borrowers may be eligible to receive in any other foreclosure claim process or legal proceeding.
Eligible borrowers not notified should contact settlement administrator
Borrowers who believe they may qualify for a payment, but did not receive a notice because they have moved, should contact the settlement administrator directly as soon as possible to provide that information:
Call toll-free: 1-866-430-8358. The line is staffed Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Beware of scams
Borrowers do not need to pay anyone to file their claim. Miller warns all homeowners to be aware of settlement-related scams. Do not provide personal information or pay money to anyone who calls or emails you claiming that they are providing settlement-related assistance. If you believe someone is conducting a settlement-related scam, contact the Consumer Protection Division at 515-281-5926. Outside the Des Moines metro area, call the toll-free number: 1-888-777-4590. You can also file a complaint through the Web at www.IowaAttorneyGeneral.gov.
Settlement background
The national settlement followed state and federal investigations, which alleged that the five mortgage servicers routinely signed foreclosure-related documents outside the presence of a notary public and without personal knowledge that the facts contained in the documents were correct. This civil law enforcement action also alleged that the servicers committed widespread errors and abuses in their foreclosure processes.
Broad reform of the mortgage servicing process resulted from the settlement, as well as financial relief for borrowers still in their homes through direct loan modification relief, including principal reduction.
For more information about eligibility and filing a claim:
Call toll-free: 1-866-430-8358 (hearing impaired: 1-866-494-8281). The line is staffed Monday through Friday from (7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time).
Iowans seeking help, answers should contact Iowa Mortgage Help or their mortgage servicer
Miller urges Iowans who are currently behind on their monthly mortgage payment, or may soon experience financial trouble, to contact the Iowa Mortgage Help toll-free hotline at 1-877-622-4866, or go to www.IowaMortgageHelp.com. The service is free, and its counselors can help Iowa homeowners identify their most appropriate course of action.

6 more bodies found at clash site
-A A +ABy Bong Garcia
Wednesday, October 19, 2011
ZAMBOANGA CITY (4th Update, 4:30 p.m.) -- Search teams have recovered six more bodies of soldiers slain in Tuesday's encounter in Al-Barka, Basilan, bringing the death toll in government side to 19.
The bodies recovered Wednesday by a group led by Basilan Vice Governor Alrasheed Sakkalahul were among the 10 soldiers declared as missing-in-action following a nine-hour encounter between government troops and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels.
Western Mindanao Command (Wesmincom) spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Randolph Cabangbang said the bodies were found at the clash site in Sitio Bakisung, Cambug village, Al-Barka municipality.
Cabangbang identified the leader of the rebel group as Dan Laksaw Asnawi, one of the 30 inmates who escaped from the Basilan provincial jail on December 30, 2009.
Asnawi was also involved in the beheading of 14 Marines in July 2007 in Barangay Ginanta, Al-Barka, the military official said.
The military spokesman said some members of the MILF participated in the firefight to help their relatives and, at the same time, "to get firearms."
He said the site of the encounter was not an "area of temporary stay" or ATS of the MILF, as claimed by its leaders. The ATS of the MILF is four kilometers away from the clash site, he said.
Authorities believe the eight soldiers are in the hands of the rebels. They asked a joint government-rebel ceasefire committee to allow troops to search for the missing soldiers in the Moro rebels' Al-Barka stronghold.
MILF vice chair for political affairs Ghadzali Jaafar, in a television interview, said only MILF fighters were involved in the firefight but denied that they captured government soldiers.
MILF spokesman Von Al Haq also said that rebels from his group have reported they are not holding any captives. Several Army soldiers apparently fled during the clash into nearby communities, Al Haq said.
Al Haq earlier said that government troops provoked the fighting by attacking the rebels in their Al-Barka stronghold in violation of the existing ceasefire. Army troops shelled the rebel stronghold after the initial clash, trapping villagers in the fighting, he said.
But Cabangbang said troops were deployed to check reports by villagers that a group of gunmen known to be holding kidnap victims had strayed in areas close to their communities. He said the troops did not intrude on the guerrilla stronghold, and were about two miles (four kilometers) from it when they were fired upon by the Moro rebels, prompting the troops to fight back.
Jaafar said the encounter would not have happened if only the government coordinated with the MILF.
The clash also left an already shaky ceasefire in jeopardy.
Under ceasefire rules, government troops should notify the Moro rebels first if they want to venture into guerrilla strongholds in search of criminals to prevent accidental clashes.
Jaafar said the ceasefire committee should look into the Basilan encounter.
Command conference
President Benigno Aquino III, in Manila, said that he will hold a command conference on Friday to discuss the recent encounter in Basilan.
"I have called for a command conference on Friday when the secretary of national defense arrives to precisely tackle the issue," he said in an interview Wednesday.
Malacañang expressed condolences to the families of the soldiers slain in the latest encounter.
Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said the Armed Forces is working on finding the other missing soldiers.
"We extend our condolences to the family of the soldiers killed in the clash. We are saddened by this incident," Valte said.
Asked if the clash would have an effect in the peace talks, the Palace official refused to comment, deferring the matter to the government peace panel.
"Peace process is sensitive. We don't want to comment and whenever there are incidents like this, it will be taken up with the counterparts in the peace panel," she said.
Valte assured the relatives of the soldiers killed in Basilan that there will be no whitewash in the investigation.
There is no particular instruction from President Aquino regarding the clash, said Valte, adding that she is not aware whether Aquino will go to Basilan to personally deal with the issue.
Aside from 19 slain soldiers, four are still missing. Eleven soldiers were wounded.
Valte said Armed Forces Chief Eduardo Oban has asked military officials to go to Basilan to "ascertain the facts".
Isolated case
In a separate statement, government peace panel chairman Marvic Leonen, said the incident was an isolated case and the government is already attending to the civilians affected by the clash.
"We are also informed that the incident has caused some casualties. Some civilians have also been evacuated as a result of the incident. They are already being attended to by the relevant government units. The fighting has already stopped. We are certain that this is an isolated incident," he said.
He added the armed confrontation was "not intended by both government and MILF."
"We are confident that the current mechanisms for monitoring violations of the ceasefire agreement are in place and are effectively working. With the assistance of the Armed Forces of the Philippines as well as the ceasefire committees, we hope to be able to get a clearer picture of the causes of this incident," he said.
The government panel is preparing for a meeting with its counterparts next month, Leonen said.
Meanwhile, Philippine Army chief Lieutenant General Arturo Ortiz arrived in Zamboanga City Wednesday to check the situation on the ground.
Ortiz, upon his arrival Wednesday morning, met with Wesmincom chief Lieutenant General Raymundo Ferrer and other Wesmincom officials, and discussed matters concerning the prevailing situation in Basilan province.
After the meeting, Ortiz, Ferrer and other military officials travelled to Basilan province and proceeded to Camp Luis Biel II, which houses the headquarters of the Special Operations Task Force-Basilan.
After the visit, Ortiz will return to Zamboanga City to visit the wounded soldiers receiving treatment at Camp Navarro General Hospital, as well as to attend to the remains of the slain soldiers, Cabangbang said. (With Jill Beltran/Sunnex)

In the twenty-first century, a nation's economic competitive power appears increasingly tied to its possession of independent intellectual property. The level of the public's scientific literacy is of utmost importance to the construction of an innovation-oriented country.
In March 2006, the Outline of the Action Plan for Improving Scientific Literacy for All (From 2006–2010 and then 2010–2020), hereinafter called the Outline, was issued by the State Council of the People's Republic of China.1 The Outline proposed a public scientific literacy project, to promote basic scientific literacy through education, dissemination and popularization of science and technology, by the middle of this century. With this initiative, the government brought the issue of public scientific literacy onto the Chinese political agenda for the first time.
Meaning of scientific literacy
According to the Outline, a citizen is scientifically literate if 'he or she possesses the ability to understand the necessary knowledge of science and technology, to know basic scientific methods, to keep thinking scientifically, to advocate [a] scientific spirit, to use the above in making decisions in personal life and to participate in public affairs involving science and technology.' The general goal set by the scientific literacy project is to ensure a minimum of scientific literacy for all Chinese people, so that they can cope effectively in a society based on science and technology. An equally minimum degree of scientific literacy has also been urged for India.2
In China today, the proportion of adults who are scientifically literate is very low. Investigations3 have shown that the gap between the level of scientific literacy of Chinese citizens (only 1.98 per cent in 2003) and that in the developed countries4 is enormous. Indeed, ignorance and superstition prevail in some regions of China. In view of this, there would be limited value in emphasizing how much scientific knowledge the public should possess. Improvement in scientific literacy would more fruitfully focus on functional scientific literacy, as the Outline advocates: scientific awareness, and people's abilities to practise the knowledge they have mastered in personal and public decision-making.
Importance of scientific literacy
China is developing towards an industrialized country that demands a scientifically literate labour force for agriculture to be modernized. Peasants, who are the most important source of labour in China, but who have the fewest opportunities in education, need functional scientific literacy in order to strengthen their abilities to develop, survive, and transfer themselves to the non-agricultural sector.
Chinese people intend to make their country an innovative one in the coming years. However, the successful implementation of scientific and technological innovation requires well-educated decision makers and workers who are skilled in the management of machinery, computers, control centres, quantitative information and materials. So the workforce in towns--where modern industry and service are concentrated-- must be scientifically literate to further their chances in the employment market and innovate more.
China is becoming a more democratic country. It has increasing numbers of public issues involving science and technology which may require public participation in decision-making. Meanwhile, officials and civil servants engaging in public administration must be scientifically literate to improve their abilities in decision-making and administration. Since they generally decide whether most of the policies can be executed in China, the level of their scientific literacy will usually have a significant impact on the quality of public decision-making and administration.
The Chinese people are confronted with serious problems of environmental pollution and shortage of resources. Improving citizens' scientific awareness is more important than enhancing their scientific knowledge to solve those problems, because scientific awareness often plays a more important role in deciding one's motivation for action than limited scientific knowledge does.

navy deserter sentenced in federal court for passport fraud
Anchorage, Alaska – United States Attorney Karen Loeffler announced today that a Fairbanks man was sentenced in federal court in Fairbanks, to five months in jail on a charge of passport fraud, with credit for time he had already served since his arrest in December 2010.
On June 10, 2011, Royce Allen Eagle, 26, of Fairbanks, Alaska, was sentenced by Chief United States District Judge Ralph R. Beistline, who also sentenced Eagle to three years of supervised release, during which he will be subject to strict conditions.
Eagle deserted from the U.S. Navy in Norfolk, Virginia in 2006, and fled to Alaska. He created a false identity under the name "Rick Engle" by obtaining a "delayed birth certificate" in that name through the Alaska state courts. Eagle falsely swore before a state judge that he was born in Nome, and that the birth was not recorded at that time. After obtaining the birth certificate, he attempted to obtain a social security card and a U.S. Passport in the "Engle" identity.
Investigators from the Diplomatic Security Service, U.S. Department of State, interviewed the defendant in Fairbanks in December 2010. After obtaining his fingerprints, they learned his true identity and his status as a deserter, and he was arrested. Eagle was indicted by a federal grand jury on December 16, 2010, and pled guilty to one count of passport fraud on March 17, 2011. He was also charged in state court in Fairbanks with forgery in the second degree and attempted perjury, both felonies. He received two years in prison on each of those charges, with all but four months suspended.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service, with assistance from the Alaska State Troopers.

This includes both PP (Plant Patent) and PPAF (Plant Patent Applied For) sages. Unauthorized selling PPAF sages before they are released is really bad, because it violates the patent.
At some point, I'd like to know how widely distributed Plant Patented sages have been sold. These include S. greggii Teresa, S. greggii Desert Blaze, S. leucantha Santa Barbara, S. leucantha White Mischief, S. leucantha Danielle's Dream, and S. vanhouttei Wendy's Wish. I'm sure they are widely sold along the west coast of the US. Outside of Plant Delights in Raleigh, NC (licensed), coverage in the lower 48 east of the Rockies excluding Texas is really spotty. My sense is that big box store offerings is both transitory and sparse. Can anyone confirm this? I'd like to get some idea of how frustrated Salvia enthusiasts are, and where there are missed opportunities for plantsmen to offer these plants legitimately. I believe these plants are licensed to only one propagator, who probably supplies plugs to local growers. Unauthorized propagation can be a problem, and it can be hard to tell if a plant has been propagated legitimately. I'm just learning about the possibilities of open licensing varieties of sages. That sounds like more of an honor system. |

Is S. vanhouttei Wendy's Wish the same as Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' (minus the S. Vanhouttei part)? If so, it is everywhere here in Jacksonville. Even Lowes and Home Depot are carrying it. See link below - link included only to show that Lowes carries the plant. Carol |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lowes Plant Guide - Wendy's wish
Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' and Salvia 'Van Houttei' (sometimes known as Salvia splendens 'Van Houtteii) are quite different. The photo on your link is of 'Wendy's Wish'. |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Wed, Jun 6, 12 at 12:13
What is S. vanhouttei Wendy's Wish (from the first post)? Is it the same as Salvia 'Van Houttei'/Salvia splendens 'Van Houttei'? |
Think Richard is mistaken, no such thing as S. vanhouttei 'Wendy's Wish'. WW is a hybrid, nobody certain of the parents, but possibly buchananii x splendens. (chiapensis could be another parent...heaven knows how to describe the promiscuity of Salvias in Australia......moving on!) The splendens MAY be vanhouttei....but Wendy's Wish is just Wendy's Wish, and I would prefer that spidermites did not like this beauty so much!!! |
This thread has gone OT..partly my fault...re plant patency..Rich, contact Donald...he has posted about this on the Hummingbird Forum, especially re Salvia 'Amistad'. |

Great LO idea.......for OTHER people, but not me! I don't think I want to document my 'fashion style'!
Welcome to the 12th task in the Hula Hodgepodge series!
Theme for Hula Hodgepodge #12 is: Fashion
Between watching Project Runway and all the talk on the Random Thoughts thread about shoes, I got to thinking how big fashion is in todays society. No matter if your style is sweats, hoodies and Crocs ( me!) or kitten heels, sweaters and skirts, you have a fashion sense. Document your current style in a layout. Or if you have a child that is a little fashionista make a page about them and their love of clothes and shoes. Do you have a little one that likes to pair polka dots with plaids or do they like to play dress up and hold a fashion show for you? Thats a sense of fashion, no matter how good (or bad) it looks. Showcase your favorite shirt, your prom dress, your well worn sweatshirt that holds more memories than warmth what ever speaks to you! And dont forget about the accessories!
Disney Up your Layouts
- The Princesses are all about fashion with their beautiful dress and fancy tiaras, so most of the princess embellishments feature these items. They work great for accenting your pictures showing off your favorite clothes.
- Embellish your pages with pieces of Mickey or Minnies outfits. Mickeys yellow shoes, Minnies polka dot bow stickers and die cuts of these items are easy to find and part of Mickey and Minnies signature style. So why not use them to accent your signature style! (I really need to layoff the design tv shows!)
- Even though Cruella De Vil is evil to the highest level, she did have a unique sense of fashion. My only true love, darling. I live for furs. I worship furs! After all, is there a woman in all this wretched world who doesn't? " This quote can be altered to fit different items, unless furs are your thing then you can leave it alone. Or it can be a jumping point to your journaling!
- There have been quite a few embellishments made that feature Minnie and Daisy doing girlie things like shopping, dressing up and putting on make-up. All this themes fit in nicely into fashion while adding a Disney touch to the page.
Attached are some product examples that would work well to Disney Up a layout about Fashion. All products are made by EK Success and Ive seen them at a bunch of big box stores like A.C. Moores, Target and Michaels.
This challenge will run until Tuesday, March 11th. Now this date is just there for those that want that push do not feel that you have to complete your project by that date. If you do the project a month from now, or even a year from now still post it! We want to see your work!.
When you post your item here, please list the supplies that you used (brand of patterned paper, type of embellishments, etc), so if someone loves one of your ideas they can find the supplies to lift it.
Happy Scrappin!
Great LO idea.......for OTHER people, but not me! I don't think I want to document my 'fashion style'!
I'm with Melissa. I have no fashion sense. Unless you want to see me with my clothes inside out, wearing my green crocs.
They call me "Nana"
I like that you posted some suggested supplies on this one April!
Gawrsh! Hyuk!

Transnational policy communities and financial governance: the role of private actors in derivatives regulation
Tsingou, Eleni, 1973- (2003) Transnational policy communities and financial governance: the role of private actors in derivatives regulation. Working Paper. Coventry: University of Warwick. Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation. (Working papers (University of Warwick. Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation)).

Official URL: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/csgr/research/wo...
The article starts from the premise that the traditionally public functions of regulation and supervision are changing in order to adequately deal with large financial institutions operating in increasingly transnational markets. The analysis highlights the gaps left by existing public arrangements and establishes that as a result, the private sector has assumed a significant degree of authority. The article shows that private initiatives have been successful in setting best practice standards and promoting monitored self-regulation and market-based supervision. It explains how and why private groups acquire a decision-making and implementation role and furthermore, explores the issues of authority and legitimacy that follow. The article illustrates these points by focusing on the Group of Thirty, one such private organisation that has exerted considerable influence. More specifically, the analysis traces the policy influence of this group on the regulatory and supervisory framework of over-the-counter derivatives. Finally, the article shifts the attention to some of the implications of private sector involvement in policy and the potential risks to systemic stability.

How To
Prevent Winter Weight Gain
So long, holiday weight gainFor most, winter means holidays, endless parties, cold weather, layers of clothes and zero motivation. This can cause your diet and exercise routine to come to a screeching halt, leading to dreaded holiday weight gain. Don't let the winter blues stop your progress, try some of these ideas to keep the pounds off and still enjoy the festivities!
Let in the lightLess daylight makes you feel more tired, explaining why people are less active in the winter. Early morning light is the most potent energy booster, so leave your bedroom curtains open or head out for a morning stroll, says Michele Stanten, fitness expert and author of Walk Off Weight. Sunshine also increases levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which may help calm your food cravings.
Find a fun winter sportExplore winter snowy sports such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or ice-skating, suggests Lawrence Cheskin, MD, founder of Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center. Even a chore like shoveling the snow out of your driveway can burn around 200 calories. More from Prevention: 5 Fun Outdoor Workouts That Blast Calories
Set motivational plansPlan an active spring vacation to get you through the cold winter months such as a hiking excursion or a road trip to the coast so you can do all sorts of outdoor activities. Or plan something motivational such as a half marathon, so you'll be forced to start training ASAP.
Choose healthy alternativesIt's hard to eat right when you don't have access to fresh fruits and veggies like you do in the summer. But that doesn't mean there aren't delicious alternatives—winter's low-cal gems such as oranges and acorn squash are delicious and filling, according to Dr. Cheskin. Also try oatmeal and low-calorie soups as well.
Don't stressHolidays come with stress—over-spending and hosting in-laws and family members; and in return stress comes with stress eating. When it comes to weight loss, stress reduction is extremely important, according to Pam Peeke, MD, MPH, and author of The Hunger Fix. Dr. Peeke suggests making a plan: be aware of the stress factors in your life (or one's you deal with during holidays), make note of them, and decide how you will handle them before they get the better of you. More from Prevention: 31 Days of Healthy, Happy Holidays
Stay entertained insideNot thrilled that there's a foot of snow on the ground? Don't worry; there are plenty of indoor activities to keep you busy during winter. Take your family and friends bowling; or play with your pup, which helps people emotionally, physically, and mentally, according to Marty Becker, DVM. Go to the mall for some retail therapy or simply window-shopping and you'll be walking laps without even realizing it!
Load up on zincIn a study done in the Journal of Nutrition, scientists found that low levels of zinc were associated with a decrease in metabolic rate, and less calorie burning. So try a variety of healthy foods full of zinc—you can find it in nuts, whole grains, and in a lot of different kinds of fruits and vegetables, or even take it as a multivitamin.

In the early decades of the 20th century, life was very hard for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) in western North Carolina. Every major index of quality of life, including housing, education and health care, was deplorable, even by the standards of the time. Lula Owl Gloyne, RN (1891-1985), the first EBCI public health nurse, spent her life and career improving the health of Cherokee people through direct service, political advocacy and community partnerships.
Gloyne's pioneering work motivated other young Cherokee women, notably Ernestine Walkingstick, RN, to follow in her footsteps. Today, Lula Owl Gloyne's story is all but unknown outside of North Carolina, but her dedication to her people as well as the broader community continues to inspire a new generation of public health nurses.
For centuries, Cherokee people lived in the southern Appalachian Mountains before white explorers and homesteaders started moving onto their lands. Treaties between various white governments and Indian nations that identified boundaries between the two groups were violated and ignored by white settlers. Fighting and wars broke out as whites continued to encroach on Cherokee land. The Cherokee tribe was decimated by war and by disease, such as smallpox and measles, contracted from encounters with white people.
Greatly outnumbered by the mid 1830s, the Cherokee were rounded up by U.S. government troops and forced at gunpoint to leave their ancestral homelands and walk to federally designated "Indian Territory" in what is now Oklahoma. This forced relocation is known as the Trail of Tears because thousands of Cherokee people and other Native Americans died from exposure, starvation and disease along the way. However, a few hundred Cherokee either evaded the federal troops that rounded up tribal members or escaped along the Trail of Tears and returned to the mountains of southwestern North Carolina. Their descendents are the primary constituents of today's Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.1
In the decades that followed, the appalling conditions imposed by slavery and the destruction resulting from the Civil War created a climate of extreme poverty in the American South. As the turn of the 20th century approached, most families in rural Appalachian North Carolina had no electricity, running water, sewage services or paved roads. If life was hard for the average white mountaineer at this time, it was generally even more difficult for the Cherokee people living on or near the Qualla Boundary (the present-day home of the EBCI) near the town of Cherokee, N.C.2
By around 1900, the tribe numbered less than 10,000 and its members were not welcomed by either the local white or African American communities. In a misguided effort to "help" the Indians, various Christian missionaries and later the federal government established Indian boarding schools. Believing Cherokee children would be best served by assimilating into white culture, the government forced them to leave their families and attend these schools, where they were severely punished for speaking their native language, practicing their religion and wearing tribal clothing.1 Lula Leta Owl was born into this environment in 1891.
Lula Owl was the first of 10 children born to Daniel Lloyd Owl, a Cherokee blacksmith, and Nettie Harris Owl, a Catawba Indian who was a traditional basket maker and potter. Lloyd did not speak Catawba and Nettie did not speak Cherokee, but both parents shared a basic knowledge of English which became the primary language in the household. Mrs. Mary Wachacha, Lula Owl Gloyne's granddaughter, surmises that the Owl children's mastery of the English language explains why all seven siblings who survived to adulthood went on to professional careers. Lula Owl attended a mission school on the Qualla Boundary and then went to Hampton Institute in Hampton, Va., to complete her education.3
Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute (now known as Hampton University) was chartered in 1868 as one of the first colleges for African Americans in the south after the Civil War. Hampton's mission was to train students to become teachers and return to their home communities to uplift their race through education. From 1878 until 1923, the institute conducted a unique experiment in biracial education by admitting and educating American Indian students alongside African American students. Well over 1,000 Indian students from over 20 tribes graduated from Hampton during this period.4
After her own graduation in 1914, Lula Owl spent a year in the classroom teaching Catawba children in Rock Hill, South Carolina. During that year, she decided to follow her calling to become a nurse. Mentors from her Hampton days arranged for Owl to enter the Chestnut Hill Hospital School of Nursing in Philadelphia.
All nursing students at Chestnut Hill Hospital were required to attend church services weekly. Owl was raised a Southern Baptist but she had no way of getting to the Baptist church located many miles away. The only church within walking distance of the hospital was St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Owl started attending this church, whose members not only welcomed but "adopted" her. They collected donations of love offerings (cash contributions) and used clothing for her. When Owl graduated from Chestnut Hill in 1916, she was awarded the gold medal in obstetrical nursing and became the first EBCI registered nurse.5 Her church arranged a job for her as the missionary school nurse at St. Elizabeth's Episcopal School on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in Wakapala, South Dakota.3
During her two years at Standing Rock, she milked cows, learned to ride horseback and worked her way into the Sioux Indians' hearts and homes. According to her granddaughter, her duties extended far beyond the school infirmary. Owl undertook immunization campaigns, delivered many babies and provided home care to the aging and infirm. Early in her time on the reservation, one of the chiefs experienced a headache so severe he thought he was dying. Owl brought him some kind of medication that brought relief. He became one of her biggest supporters on the reservation.
In 1917, the United States joined its allies in fighting World War I. The Red Cross and the Army Nurse Corps encouraged all RNs to serve their country during the war. Owl had planned on going to Europe to be a field nurse for the U.S. Army but failed the "seaworthy" exam due to extreme seasickness. Instead, she was assigned to Camp Lewis in Washington State as a second lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps.3 Owl was the only member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to serve as an officer in WWI.6.
While in South Dakota, she met Jack Gloyne, an Army enlistee passing through the west on his way to Camp Lewis. They rekindled their acquaintance at Camp Lewis, but since she was an officer and he an enlisted man, fraternization was prohibited. Despite the ban, they were secretly wed in 1918. After the war ended they spent a short time in Oklahoma while Lula Gloyne cared for a sick family member. Around 1921 the couple returned to Cherokee to set up housekeeping.3
At that time, the town of Cherokee did not have a hospital or a full-time doctor. Lula Owl Gloyne was the first professional health care provider available to help the people on the Qualla Boundary.6
In a 1983 interview with a local newspaper, Gloyne recalled her early years as a nurse in Cherokee. "There was no hospital in Cherokee then, just a clinic at the Quaker grade school and a doctor who worked there part time," she explained. "When I came home [to the EBCI reservation] they asked me to help out, and at first I worked without pay. I did all the outside work. I got called to homes all around here. I didn't have a horse or a wagon back then, so I had to make my calls on foot. I got caught in places [too far away from the doctor] where I'd just have to do what had to be done. Men got cut up and I'd have to sew them up. Women would call on me to deliver their babies. Today it would be illegal [for an RN] to do a lot of that, but back then there was no one else."7
Gloyne's desire for the Cherokee people to have a hospital on the Qualla Boundary impelled her to go to Washington, D.C., where she talked with two officials who oversaw all public health work for the Indian Health Service. In 1934, her efforts resulted in the enlargement of the clinic dispensary to include a nine-room inpatient ward and sunroom for women and a six- bed ward for men. For the first time, people who lived on the Qualla Boundary had access to hospital care. A doctor began to make regular hospital visits and Gloyne was appointed head nurse. In addition to overseeing the hospital, Gloyne continued to see patients in the community, providing home health, hospice and midwifery services. With her Indian Health Service salary, she bought herself a horse. Later, as paved roads became more common, the government bought her a car to make her travels in the community quicker and easier.7
Gloyne's advocacy efforts in Washington also resulted in a general health survey of the EBCI people living on the Qualla Boundary, conducted from June 5-17, 1933. The U.S. Public Health Service, the U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Indian Affairs, the North Carolina Tuberculosis Sanatorium and the North Carolina State Board of Health collaborated on this project, to determine the tribe's "public health needs with some accuracy and define federal and state responsibilities" in this area. More than 900 Cherokee people of all ages received a complete physical examination, dental examination and free immunizations for smallpox, diphtheria and typhoid fever as part of the survey.
Among the survey's findings were that 9% of those surveyed had active tuberculosis and 4.6% had syphilis. Higher-than-state rates of trachoma, a disease of the eyes, were also found. Beyond simply gathering data, the survey project provided treatment for the people suffering from these ailments.8
Forty years later, a report published in the April 1972 issue of the North Carolina Health Bulletin (the official publication of the state's Department of Health) stated that tuberculosis, syphilis and roundworms had become only minor problems on the Qualla Boundary, while the most pressing public health issues were diabetes, motor vehicle accidents, homicide, suicide and dental carries in children. Lula Owl Gloyne's work as the primary "field nurse" on the Qualla Boundary for many of the intervening years was probably at least partially responsible for the decreases in infectious diseases in her community.
The Gloynes had four children, but unfortunately Jack Gloyne died before the youngest was two years old. After her husband's death, Lula Gloyne moved west to work as a nurse at the Wyandotte Indian School and Clinic in Miami, Oklahoma. In 1936, while on an ambulance run, the ambulance was in a serious accident and Gloyne nearly lost her life. The doctors initially thought she might never walk again. She returned to Cherokee to recuperate near her family and slowly resumed her nursing career.
Gloyne worked as she was able and as needs arose. Over the years, she served as a private duty nurse, in hospital staff and supervisory positions in nearby Sylva and Bryson City, N.C., and as the company nurse for the outdoor drama "Unto These Hills," a summer theater production that tells the story of the Trail of Tears. In 1969, at age 77, she retired from her last paid position as the supervisory home visiting nurse for the Community Action program in Cherokee.3
From her retirement until her death in April 1985 at age 93, Gloyne remained an asset to her community. She was honored by District 23 of the North Carolina Nurses Association on May 1, 1978, when she was 87 years old. Part of the speech delivered that night reads: "Even though Lula is officially retired, she has never been out of nursing. She started at an early age, when as the big sister she was responsible for much of the care of the younger children, and of the parents when one was ill or in need. Between her league bowling, weaving classes, extension club activities, church activities, gardening etc., she still helps with blood banks, aids invalids in the home, helps when new babies arrive and often has ailing relatives in her home."9
Lula Owl Gloyne's work inspired several young Eastern Band of Cherokee women in North Carolina to follow her path and pursue careers in public health nursing. Ernestine Sharon Walkingstick (1937-1999) was one of these nurses. Born in Cherokee, Walkingstick graduated from Northwestern State School of Nursing in Louisiana in 1961. She then returned to North Carolina and became the director of community health nursing for the EBCI reservation.10 In that capacity she established the first clinic for the Indian population in Robbinsville, N.C., a remote village in the mountains where travel is difficult in the winter months.11 Walkingstick also initiated, coordinated and operated the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat clinics at the Cherokee Indian Hospital in Cherokee.10
Walkingstick followed Gloyne's example of tireless community service. In addition to her paid employment, Walkingstick was actively involved in numerous professional and community volunteer activities. She was instrumental in founding the first domestic violence shelter in her region, which is now named in her honor. She raised money for the Cherokee Children's Home, was an officer in the Cherokee Lions Club, served as board chairman of the Cherokee Center for Family Services and was named "Woman of the Year" for community development by the area North Carolina Cooperative Extension. Walkingstick was also a member of the health advisory committee for the local Head Start program and served on the EBCI Tribal Health Board.
Nurses of all races and ethnicities, in all parts of the country, can be inspired by the life and work of Lula Owl Gloyne. She triumphed over many obstacles to bring health and hope to the Cherokee people in western North Carolina.
