Urgent care is not a substitute for emergency care. Often your primary care physician can offer guidance, and when necessary, direct you to the appropriate care facility. If you are unable to reach your primary care physician or you do not have one, you should go to St. Anthony's Emergency Department for very serious or life-threatening problems. Even illnesses or injuries that may seem minor may be determined by the urgent care physician to warrant emergency evaluation and result in a recommendation that you be transferred to St. Anthony's Emergency Department for further treatment.
In general, conditions that should be evaluated in the Emergency Department include:
- deep cuts or bleeding that won't stop
- large bone fractures
- problems related to pregnancy
- knife or gunshot wounds
- coughing or vomiting blood
- chest pain
- suspected stroke or heart attack
- difficulty breathing
- severe burns
- loss of consciousness
- seizures
- abdominal pain
When should I go to the Urgent Care Center?
Those that can be treated in an Urgent Care Center setting may include:
- minor injuries
- minor lacerations
- eye redness or irritation
- minor fractures (fingers, toes)
- urinary tract infections
- upper respiratory tract infections
- fever or flu
- sore throat
- skin rashes
- skin infections
- sprains and strains

Drezner then goes on to quote Don Draper from the television program Mad Men to really drive his point home. He sides with blogger Rob Farley in saying that the only harmful impact of this leak will be on government transparency itself; the U.S. will surely tighten its security systems to prevent further leaks as a result of this one.
The most viewed feature on NPR at the moment, though, is a story about a very different type of "staggering cache"—that of 271 original Picasso pieces discovered in France. - Lauren Kirchner
Politico, as expected, has been covering the leaks early and often. Ben Smith had the first word early on Sunday afternoon, emphasizing in particular that leaks about a widespread determination to end Iran's nuclear program "will undoubtedly affect policy, even if it's not entirely clear how." The overview story—still published hours ahead of the document release—framed the leaks as "explosive," "damaging," and "deeply embarrassing" to the U.S., more so than the previous two sets of war logs from Afghanistan and Iraq, which "contained few surprising details."
Follow-up articles focused on the leaks' revelations about Iran, Obama's weakening power, and reactions to the leaks from the Pentagon, Secretary of State Clinton, and basically every other politician and pundit in Washington, D.C. One short blog post collects the various insults that the WikiLeaks "burn book" lobbies against various world leaders:
Kim Jong-Il is a "flabby old chap" (according to a diplomatic source) .
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is "feckless, vain, and ineffective as a modern European leader" (according to a U.S. diplomat in Rome).
Robert Mugabe is simply "the crazy old man".
Politico's pop-out video player features a fast-moving video mashup of reactions on network and cable TV news, feeding the soundbyte beast with even more candy. - Lauren Kirchner

I was in the one place where I knew for certain women had been found, one less than a hundred yards away from where she was standing. "No," she said, "I never heard of anything like that anywhere."
Listening to her, it occurred to me that this investigation of mine wasn't a detective novel. It was a ghost story. The prisms of Regina Walters, Shana Holts, and Lisa Pennal refracted into a set of icons—one in the backseat of a car laughing as she leans on the headrest, one with the shorn red-gold hair and an expression of resilience, one slightly crazy and ready to fight—each casting her own light, each a hologram of girlhood.
Recently, the New Jersey State Supreme Court handed down a statement on memory, describing it as complex and often unreliable. The ruling went on to question the admissibility of eyewitness testimony. "Human memory is not like a video recording," they said. And they're right. It's more like a set of still photos. I remember coming down through the Blue Ridge Mountains in a truck with its brakes on fire and dropping over Chester Gap in the middle of the night when it was still hot and the air was loud with the chirping of bugs. I remember sitting in the drizzle in a truck while the crime-scene tape was strung around a Dumpster. I remember driving around Ohio howling along with Bruce Springsteen and buzzed out of my brain on Diet Cokes and being sad that the ride ended because it was a safe one and I had almost been able to be myself for a second, but that second had passed. I remember a fuel island in the blue morning light and a driver with a white shirt that stood out like a flag, and taking the turn back east, then south, and a gray day just before a storm so pressurized my ears hurt. And I remember being in the woods off I-95. I only ran about a hundred yards before I turned and hid, because I didn't know if I was being chased and needed to see. I crouched on netted twigs and breathed into my shirt to muffle the sound. The woods were blue in the gray light, which was either dusk or a coming storm. At the center of everything was my own breath. The birds went silent, and I didn't know what it meant. I watched the truck idle on the side of the road until it finally pulled off.
One snowy night several months later, I was hitchhiking through Amherst, Massachusetts, and a carful of students from Hampshire College picked me up and let me stay with them. In the morning, they talked me into applying to the college. I was accepted, and that provided a thin strip of pride on which to stand while I made contact with my family. My mother was happy to pay for school. Being 16 and in college is an easier thing to talk about. It was a solution that worked for both of us and looked like redemption but didn't last. The dissonance between my emotional world and the one around me was still too great, and soon I left again, but in a more sanctioned way. I hitchhiked in Europe and settled in Vienna for a few years. I lived among artists in the Lower East Side squats. These are narratives we know. Unlike those of other young women on the road, my story was now recognizable.
When I got home from West Virginia, a letter from Rhoades was waiting. It said he would see me if I promised never to say that I had seen him or what had passed between us. It was just the kind of promise a sexual predator or child molester would try to extract. He also wanted $500. I wrote him back and told him that journalistic standards wouldn't allow me to pay for interviews. I expected that to be the end of it, but I got another letter. Young was right. Rhoades liked to think of himself as an "expert," and now Rhoades suggested he be paid as one. But an expert in what, I thought, killing? At the bottom of the yellow legal paper, scrawled in all caps, he wrote, "IT WASN'T ME!!!" I looked at the letter. He may be right, but certainly not because he's innocent. I imagined for a moment flying to Illinois. I go through the paperwork, get fingerprinted and led through a channel of air-locked doors into a room with him. He's there with his neatly pressed shirt and colossal arrogance. We do the interview, but I don't take notes. It doesn't matter what he says. After all, it's just going to be his word against mine. And who's going to believe him? That's where my fantasy ends, in a game of "Who Is Credible Now?"
The same week that I got the letter from Rhoades, the senior officer from the Berkeley County sheriff's department who had been fishing returned. He said that no girls had ever been found in a Dumpster at the Martinsburg, West Virginia, truck stop, and I had no reason not to believe him.
One story Debra Davis told still haunts me. She was on a trip with her husband, Bob, the last she ever took in his truck. They were heading west on I-10 and stopped somewhere in Arizona at a busy truck stop. By the restaurant door was a young woman with a baby, trying to get a ride. Debra said she looked about 18 or 19 and desperate. Debra wanted to give her money or do something. Her own sister had been on the street, and she was overwhelmed by the woman at the door and didn't want to just walk away. Rhoades saw what Debra was looking at. He came around behind her and grabbed her shoulders. He turned her slowly toward the girl and pointed. "You see that, Debbie," he whispered in her ear. "She's one of the invisible people."

Management of a large necrotic neck wound
09/11/09 | Pressure ulcers | Lisa Ooi Lay Theng
Five weeks later: At follow-up five weeks later, the wounds were healing well (Figs 11 and 12) and the depth of the main wound had reduced by approximately 3cm to the left and 2.5cm to the right. The wounds were again dressed using a hydrogel foam dressing. This was felt to be an appropriate choice for a granulating cavity wound as it is able to donate moisture when needed as well as absorb exudate in wetter wounds [4].
Figs 11 and 12
Pain management
This was an area of care that was not well managed for a number of reasons including Mrs A's allergy to many of the available analgesics (see Box 1). Mrs A was very brave and tolerated the dressing changes and the draining of the fluid well, although she clearly found them distressing. The UCT had not anticipated the extent of fluid drainage and managed the situation using verbal support and distraction techniques during the procedure. It is acknowledged that more attention to pain management using formal pain assessment tools would have improved Mrs A's care and the use of Entonox should have been considered.
As a non-profitable charitable hospital, patients pay according to their means and the money paid by the more affluent patients is pooled back into the hospital resources. There are times when patients need to be transferred to the government hospital where their medical expenses can be fully subsidised by the Malaysian government.
Despite resistance to change from a number of departments, the UCT is becoming established as a recognised and valuable resource within the hospital. This is helped by the fact that the surgeon treating Mrs A was enthusiastic about the service and had attended a seminar on the latest technologies in wound healing. The head of the UCT is planning to develop a national wound care society and to drive the case for tissue viability to become a recognised speciality within healthcare in Malaysia.

Laughing about the recent cemetery "adventure" of AAGSAR member Sandra WILLIAMS-BUSH (Ancestral Callings: Georgia & Mississippi), I was reminded of one the funniest family stories ever shared with me by my late Cousin, Johnnie Mae STRINGER LONG.
Mae was Elbert STRINGER's younger sister, the daughter of Missy DORSEY and John STRINGER. Missy and my GG Grandmother, Marrie WINGFIELD CARTER were Sisters. All of the beautiful DORSEY and STRINGER images I have, came from Mae. Her facial features and voice were so much like that of my Great Grandmother Annie CARTER JACKSON (Mae and Elbert's first cousin they referred to lovingly as "Baby Sister"), I would just stare at her. It was comforting to be in her presence.
I spent many afternoons with Mae scanning pictures, capturing history and laughing about her fear of ghosts and spirits.
My favorite Mae story?
According to Mae, she'd always been the scary type. When she was a teen she and Elbert would visit Grandma Catie's grave at Westview Cemetery in Atlanta.
Mae told me when Grandma Catie died, her son John "Bud" WINGFIELD and cousin Harry HECTOR carried a huge boulder via wagon from Washington-Wilkes to place on Catie's Grave.
Well when they arrived for one visit the boulder had disappeared – sunken COMPLETELY in the ground! On top of Grandma Catie's grave! And when they attempted to investigate further, Elbert and Mae began to sink into soft earth!
Mae said the calmer Elbert got, the more hysterical she became! Mae said […]

A recent mission trip to Africa was as "life-changing" for Frankfort Square residents Keith and Marquita Wallace as for those they went to help.
"It truly was," Marquita, 36, said. "When people ask, 'How was Africa?' I say. 'Amazing,' but 'amazing' is not a big enough word to describe it."
Marquita traveled to Nairobi, Kenya, as a result of her husband's mission trip in 2013 with other members of Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park who partnered with Mission of Hope International through the Christian Ministry Foundation.
The experience left an indelible mark on Keith that he wanted to share with his wife on a return visit.
The role for Keith last year in the 100-person group was to help bring adaptive sports to disabled persons in the Mathare Valley of Nairobi, an impoverished area where nearly 1 million people live within one square mile, according to some estimates.
"I do like to say this is my ministry. When I bring people ... the awareness of adaptive sports, that is my mission. That's what God put me on this earth to do," Keith said.
Keith headed up a smaller team of 14 people whose 2014 mission focused entirely on special needs.
His career as the executive director of the Lincolnway Special Recreation Association and as that organization's former superintendent of recreation meant he knew how to put together and implement a program, but the emotional journey Keith experienced went far beyond programming for him.
Keith met disabled children and adults who were shut-ins, often in a 10-foot-by-10-foot apartment space, because of the cultural stigma that goes with being disabled. The courage and spirit of many of those people made a profound impression on him, and Keith was determined to help, especially after meeting several unforgettable individuals.
There was 37-year-old John, who was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident and was unable to work to support his wife Margaret and their two children. When Keith met John in 2013, his family lived in a small room on the lowest level of the Mathare Valley. Margaret worked two jobs to make ends meet, and John's dream was to own a small store at the higher level so he could support his family.
Keith, 37, a family man with a wife and three children — Isaiah, 13; Iriana, 10; and Indiah, 6 — understood John's desire.
"He wanted to feel like a man. He wanted to be able to support his family and he couldn't because he was stuck in the house," Keith said. "The goal was to try to empower him or to move him to higher ground."
Keith admitted that in 2013 he "broke down because I couldn't see hope for him." Keith said he knew John couldn't access resources available to him because of his disability and lack of funds.
The 2013 mission team collected $200 for John, not knowing how or if it could help.
John ran with his opportunity.
This year, the team found John had become a prosperous businessman in one short year, running a fully stocked street store at a higher level of Mathare Valley, with much larger living quarters attached for the family and big dreams to own a mall in the future.
The team was astounded by what John had accomplished with so little.
"We don't want to give anyone anything," Keith said. "We want to empower people."
A second success story involved 13-year-old Vincent, a boy with an undiagnosed condition which caused one leg to swell inexplicably and prevented him from walking. Vincent was mostly confined to his home since dropping out of school in third grade. To make matters worse, the only recommended course of treatment is amputation, another cultural stigma that Vincent did not want to face.
"In his culture, individuals that have amputations don't have a great life," Keith said. "So that was his hesitation."
In 2013, Vincent refused amputation despite the urging of others, but during the team's 2014 visit, Vincent asked to speak to Keith alone. Keith said Vincent "opened up and said he's ready" for the operation.
"That will be our next project," Keith said. "It's going to be my mission."
Time spent with the larger community was also rewarding, the Wallaces said.
Whenever team members visited an individual, others would remain outside in the communities of the Valley and conduct recreation programs, which drew hundreds of children. Because the team found the children especially receptive to music, music therapist and team member Amy Wilson, of New Lenox, would sing and play music, creating "a spontaneous group action."
Marquita said adults would come out onto the balconies of their apartments and watch.
"In one community when we finished singing with the kids, the adults on the balcony began singing for us," Marquita said. "You couldn't help but be moved because it was almost as if they were somehow saying, 'Thank you for loving on our kids.' "
Children were always at the center of the mission.
Marquita said her first "heartbreaking moment" when arriving at Mathare Valley was seeing children playing in dirt streets with no greenery for them anywhere. But even the poverty taught a rich lesson, she said.
"It could have been so easy to find a place of pity for the people we met in the valley, but I was quickly pulled away from that because they didn't pity themselves," Marquita said. "It was such a spirit of gratitude. Even with the lack of material possessions, their spirits were so rich that you couldn't stay in a place of sadness for too long."

For the first time, this year I planted some onions and garlic. They seem to be coming up quite nicely. I have a few questions, though:
1) Some of the onion sets I planted specifically for scallions, so I planted them deeper and closer together. Can I harvest the resulting scallions continually throughout the season? And should I cut them back to the ground each time? 2) Can I also harvest the scallions from the onions that I want to become "dry" onions, or should I just leave them alone? 3) Can I harvest the green parts from the garlic too? If so, can they be used just like scallions? Thanks for any info. |
Follow-Up Postings:
#3 is yes, green garlic is very nice. That's how I mostly use it. #2 is no, if you want large as possible bulbs. #1 you can cut-and-come-again with onion greens, but more typical is to plant close and thin out for scallions during the season to end up with 6 to 8 inch spacing which get left for the full-size bulbs. |
I agree with pnbrown, although I think that the answer for 2 applies to 3 as well. If you want large garlic bulbs, don't eat the green off the garlic. I plant the small cloves in a seperate area in the fall and pull them in the spring as I want for green garlic. But if you haven't tried it before, pull up a couple now and give it a taste. |
And if you have hard neck garlic, you will get garlic skapes. That is where the stalk is curved with the start of a seed pod on the end. Pick them while they are still curved and your garlic will grow larger. They are quite tasty. |
Thanks for your helpful replies, pnbrown, sunnibel7, and spogarden. |

This new program supports Minnesota farmers by reimbursing a portion of the costs they may incur while transitioning to organic.
Q: Who qualifies for this program? A: Minnesota residents who are new to organic (nothing certified) and actively transitioning farm land or animals (not just thinking about it).
Q: Do I have to be transitioning my whole farm to organic? A: No
Q: What is required? A1) …an on-farm visit from an accredited certifying agency before December 31, AND A2) …a document from the certifying agency that verifies you are in transition to organic, AND A3) …receipts (not canceled checks) for costs billed between January 1 and December 31, AND A4) …a W-9 Form (PDF).
Q: How do I find a certifying agency? A: Check the MDA web site for certifiers that take clients in Minnesota and that offer transition verification.
Q: Want kind of payment am I eligible for? A: 75% of eligible costs, with a maximum payment of $750/year.
Q: What are "eligible costs"? A: Up to 75% of any/all of the following:
Q: Can I apply more than once? A: A farm can apply for up to three years, or until you are certified, whichever comes first.
Q: What is the deadline? A: Your application must be postmarked by mid-February (see application for exact date). You can submit receipts for costs incurred between January 1 – December 31.
Q: Why is the MDA doing this? A: It is a program that our Minnesota Organic Advisory Task Force suggested. They believe, and we agree, that working with a certifying agency during the transition period can improve farmers' confidence about the transition and help them be more successful. This program makes it more affordable to do that.
Q: How long will the program be available? A: We are piloting the program right now. Whether it continues will depend on how many people participate and how long funds are available.

Patti and Rusty Rueff School of Visual and Performing Arts
NewsPurdue Theatre 2013-2014 Season Galleries |
In the fall of 2009 the Patti and Rusty Rueff Department of Visual and Performing Arts was given the official designation as a school within the College of Liberal Arts. Today, the Rueff School of Visual and Performing Arts is composed of two departments: Art and Design and Theatre, as well as three other divisions including Dance, Music, and Purdue Galleries. It serves other departments and schools through elective course offerings as well as granting Liberal Arts based undergraduate degrees. On the graduate level, the department grants Master of Arts, Master of Fine Arts, and Ph.D. degrees. The school has the distinction of having a dual mission, and it serves a wide-ranging group of students, while also serving Purdue University and the Greater Lafayette area as the primary cultural resource for the community.
The school at this time has approximately 800 undergraduate majors and 60 graduate students. Beyond the undergraduate majors and graduate students, several thousand students enroll in practical, theoretical or historical courses within the school.
The faculty is composed of nationally recognized individuals who continue to practice their arts and do research while still serving as dedicated classroom teachers. The publications, art exhibitions and performance-related activities bring wide-spread attention to Purdue University and contribute to the presence of arts activities on campus. These academic and artistic endeavors also serve the University by being a prime recruiting tool for improving graduate training programs. These teacher/scholar/artists in many instances also serve the community through leadership and participation in organizations dedicated to the arts and by improving the graduate training program. The school is named after Patti and Rusty Rueff who are its principal benefactors. Their 2004 gift of $5 million was the largest gift ever received by the College of Liberal Arts. The Patti and Rusty Rueff School of Visual and Performing Arts is housed in Yue-Kong PAO Hall on the West Lafayette campus.
Mission Statement
The school's mission is to serve the citizens of Indiana, the United States, and the world through (1) Discovery, that expands the realm of knowledge of the visual and performing arts; (2) Learning, through dissemination and preservation of knowledge about the visual and performing arts; and (3) Engagement, through exchange of knowledge about visual and performing arts.

We are waitng to hear back from Destin'y Orthopedic surgeon about the last MRI and they want to set up an appt. to do another set of x-rays with her brace on. Why do they need to do X-rays with the brace on. Plus the last visit we had after her brace was modified again to make it a little more comfortable, we were told after her X-rays with the brace her doctor would probably send us back to the "Brace Doctor"-that is what Destiny calls him. Does anyone have any info or advice?

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai
Big Island, HI, 96740, United States
"Perfect," "heaven," and "the best vacation of my life" are just a few ways guests describe this understatedly gorgeous, isolated resort where most of the 243 rooms, in low-rise bungalows, have ocean views. It's popular with Hollywood celebrities for good reason: the five-star service is impeccable; the grounds border the dramatic volcanic rock coast with seawater and freshwater swimming pools; an open-air spa teems with tropical vegetation; and yoga, personal training, and a full menu of fitness classes are offered daily. The private, oceanfront Jack Nicklaus signature golf course is carved right into the underlying black lava, which serves as occasional bunkers.
Room to Book:
The second story of bungalow 8: it overlooks a saltwater snorkeling lagoon, has ocean views, and is in the quietest, northern section of the property.
Insider Tip:
For families there's a tricked-out teen lounge and baby-proofed rooms for guests with infants.

Evergreen Park firefighter, storm chaser recounts Oklahoma devastation
BY MIKE NOLAN Sun-Times email@example.com May 21, 2013 7:54PM
A photo of the tornado that hit Moore, Okla. on Monday, taken by Danny Neal, of Evergreen Park, at SW 175th Street and Portland Road next to the Canadian River. | Supplied photo
Updated: June 23, 2013 6:44AM
When Danny Neal was a kid, thunderstorms and other severe weather terrified him.
But for the past 15 years, the Evergreen Park man has sought out storms, taking impromptu trips in his spare time to areas of the country where tornadoes are likely to develop.
He was just south of Moore, Okla., on Monday when a massive tornado ripped through the Oklahoma City suburb, and although he has seen nearly 100 tornadoes, Neal said this one stood out in dramatic fashion.
"It's not so much the sight of a tornado, it's the sound," Neal said Tuesday as he and two fellow storm chasers were preparing to head back to the Chicago area.
The tornado flattened homes and demolished an elementary school. At least 24 people were killed, including at least nine children, and those numbers were expected to climb as emergency crews searched for survivors.
Neal and his two fellow storm chasers drove to Kansas on Friday, then on Monday were in the vicinity of Oklahoma City, drawn by the potent weather conditions.
"We were south of there and watched the storms build," Neal said. "We started heading back north toward it; we knew there was something on the ground."
Just southwest of Moore, they crested a hill and saw it, he said. They were about a mile away from where the tornado touched down, he estimated.
Neal, 25, described the storm as being "like a giant bulldozer a mile wide just scraping the ground."
A part-time firefighter and emergency medical technician in Evergreen Park, Neal said his instincts as a first responder kicked in. They couldn't get anywhere near where the tornado touched down. Later, he heard radio reports urging first responders not to try to get into the community because there were already enough emergency personnel on the scene.
Not able to deliver aid first-hand, he urged Facebook friends who are part of the Northern Illinois Storm Chaser group to donate to agencies providing relief to tornado victims.
When he was little, storms scared him, Neal said.
"It could be overcast out and I would be a wreck," he said.
During storms he listened to the police scanner with his dad, Greg, who retired from the Oak Lawn Fire Department in 2011. Danny was just 3 when, in August 1990, a devastating tornado struck Plainfield.
"Plainfield is what really got me terrified" about the destruction a tornado could wreak, he said.
But Neal said that as he got just a bit older, he watched programs about violent weather and "that fear turned into an obsession."
He went with his dad to chase bad weather — their first trip was in April 1998 to central Illinois — then once Danny got his driver's license he ventured out on his own.
Neal said he studied meteorology at the College of DuPage, although he didn't complete his education and earn a degree. He hopes to get a degree and eventually work for the government's storm prediction center in Norman, Okla.
Neal doesn't like to equate storm chasing with a hobby such as golf or fishing.
"To me it's my passion. I love severe weather," he said. "If I could make a living doing this I would do it."
Neal, who also works in the mother and baby unit at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, doesn't get to indulge his passion as often as he'd like.
"They are few and far between," maybe two or three times a year, he said.
He said he had to scramble — and make a lot of promises of reciprocation — to get co-workers at Christ to cover his shifts while he was in Kansas and Oklahoma.
While most storm chasers hope their work will ultimately lead to a better understanding of tornadoes, Neal said he knows many who "feel guilty" documenting the storms, "especially knowing the aftermath."

Testoni PA et al. – Pancreatitis rate was lower when precut was done with <10 attempts than when ≥10 attempts were made without precutting. In experienced hands precut biliary sphincterotomy does not seem to be an independent risk factor for post–ERCP pancreatitis in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangio–pancreatography for bile duct stones.
Methods- 2004 patients undergone endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography over a 9-year period for bile stones were evaluated.
- Pancreatitis rate was assessed in relation to the number of cannulation attempts (<10 and ≥10) and precutting.
- Procedures were successful in 1878 patients (93.7%).
- Cannulation was done without precutting in 1717 cases and with in 161.
- Pancreatitis occurred in 2.7% of patients who had undergone biliary cannulation without precutting and in 6.5% with (p=0.006).
- It was lower with <10 attempts than with ≥10 (p<0.0001), either without (p<0.0001) or with precutting (p<0.01).
- Pancreatitis rate did not differ without and with precutting when <10 attempts at cannulation were done, whilst it was lower when precut was done before 10 attempts than when 10 or more attempts were made without precutting (p=0.02).

Thank You
Dear Citizen Scientists,
You're breaking new ground. There has never been a larger, more passionate or diverse community of citizen scientists working under Audubon's umbrella. From birding with you across the hemisphere to talking with you at Chapter meetings, I know how passionate you are and there's only one thing I can say: thanks.You've broken participation records this year across all of our citizen science projects.
- Last holiday season you came out in record numbers to count birds for the 113th Christmas Bird Count. More than 70,000 of you joined 2,369 count circles besting the previous year's record of 63,227 counters across 2,248 circles. We sometimes take the CBC for granted. Here's a way to think about it: it's the longest-running animal census on the planet.
- And 104,000 of you kept the momentum going for our first all-digital Great Backyard Bird Count, increasing participation 55% over last year and counting more than 35 million individual birds in 107 countries around the world.
- This summer you proved your passion for birds when we launched a brand new citizen science initiative, Hummingbirds at Home. More than 8,000 people signed up and contributed 21,000 hummingbird and plant observations in the first year of the program. Hummingbirds at Home also marked the first time we've launched a digital app for a crowdscience project.
Thank you for these tremendous contributions to bird science. Each time you record a bird sighting you are contributing to more than a hundred years of data on bird populations that directly inform Audubon's conservation decisions. We couldn't do our work without you.
As the calendar turns to November, we are deep into preparation for the 114th Christmas Bird Count. I hope you'll join us again this year. Together we are protecting birds and their vital habitat.
David Yarnold
President and CEO
National Audubon Society

We have a corrugated clear plastic deck roof. It looks kindda cheap and gets dirty really quick and also worn off so that water gets on the deck when raining.
My husband wants to put something like corrugated metal with skylight or thick colored corrugated plastic. What would you recommend in our case? What worked well for you? Thanks for any input Natalija. |

I knew that when I invited the Misshapes, the New York-based DJ trinity, to come to St. Louis, Missouri, I wouldn't regret it. And, true to form, when I celebrated my birthday with a barn dance at my Uncle Fred and Aunt Tina's barn on a few hundred acres of untouched natural Midwestern wilderness, their tunes did not disappoint. (They even got my Mom dirty dancing on several occasions.) But what came as a bonus were these videos. Leigh Lezark can spin records and create visually stimulating moving images? The lady can do it all.
First up, a video of the extravaganza, from pig roast garden party to hayride sing-a-long to the barn rave. Look out for cameo's from Giovanna (taking Dolce & Gabbana prints to a place they've never been before), Karlie (working a hula hoop one second and a Budweiser flag the next), and the Brant boys (sashaying like no one's business). Obligatory walk off, and a few rather embarrassing Missouri moonshine-induced dance from yours truly, include:
But the pièce de résistance? The hoedown's special guest performance: My very own Aunt Mary, who's childhood of baton twirling paid off in a major way when she stunned the crowd with this performance to Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way':


text: By Lori Szepelak Correspondent SPRINGFIELD For 15 years, the Vietnamese community has benefited from a unique program through Mercy Medical Center. The Vietnamese Health Project (VHP) serves more than 700 people annually, and provides hundreds of services to Vietnamese refugees and immigrants, according to Doreen Fadus, executive director of Community Health at Mercy. The VHP, a division of Community Health, works to reduce barriers and to increase access for Vietnamese people to prenatal, primary, pediatric and other maternal and infant health care. During the past three years, the VHP has provided more than 6,847 case management encounters to Vietnamese families and individuals and has assisted in the case management and delivery of more than 100 Vietnamese babies, according to Fadus. "The bilingual/bicultural case managers help caregivers and patients overcome the language and cultural barriers," said Fadus. Fadus explained during an interview with Reminder Publications that case managers take individuals to physician appointments, provide health care education and community education of resources and assist with hospital visits. "They are well-known throughout the community and are frequently called upon to participate in a variety of activities in the Vietnamese community," said Fadus. Fadus added the long-term commitment of Sisters of Providence Health System (SPHS) to the VHP "reflects its commitment and core value to those who are poor." Mercy Medical Center is a member of the SPHS. Thu Pham, a leader in the Vietnamese community, has been coordinating the program since its inception at Mercy and continues to ensure that the Vietnamese population receives both quality and accessibility in their health care, said Fadus. Mercy Medical Center's staff, health providers and members of the community joined together to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the VHP on Feb. 18. Mercy's nutrition department provided a luncheon of artichoke chicken, rice, stir-fry vegetables, eggrolls, salad and cheesecake which was attended by close to 70 area residents. The celebration luncheon featured remarks by Sister Kathleen Sullivan, RSM, Senior Vice President, Mission, SPHS; MyDzung Chu, Commonwealth Corps member serving with Health Care for the Homeless, part of Mercy's Community Health Department; Vincent J. McCorkle, FACHE, president and CEO, SPHS; Springfield Mayor Domenic J. Sarno; and Pham, VHP project coordinator. The afternoon celebration culminated with a traditional performance by the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Society. For more information on the VHP, contact Pham at 748-9065 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. |

I stumbled accidentally on this book. Running a search through the online database at a local library branch, the title popped up on the screen. I cross-referenced it with the opinions of other readers from Amazon.com and decided it'd be an interesting overview of this incredible disease - schizophrenia.
I found out after checking the book out that it won the Australian Book of the Year for 2004, which intrigued me further. Having read it, I am also of the opinion that it deserves the award. The book is short and easy to read (in terms of narrative), but it reveals the complexities of the disease. The author narrates his experiences from the moments the symptoms appeared to the medication phase that restored order in his daily existence.
The book is written in snippets of experiences and often the reader is hurled one story after another of the patient's psychosis, paranoia, search for codes or deciphering of codes and secret messages, the delusions of voices the... read more
I read this book to get a better understanding of my brother, who is diagnosed schizophrenic and is obviously having a very hard time, though he rarely talks explicitly about what's happening to him. I was glad to stumble upon a book written by someone with schizophrenia (as opposed to a doctor or researcher). I think this 'inside view' has been really helpful in my coming to understand my brother better, so that I can be supportive towards him and catch warning signs of when he's entering a delusional episode.
I found this book to be very well written. It would likely be interesting even to people who don't have schizophrenic loved ones. The author has included his own artwork interspersed throughout the book as well as poems and notes he wrote while he was delusional. The artwork is very interesting, the poems and notes are a bit disturbing, as you'd expect.
It is heartening that though the author has a severe mental illness to deal with, he was able to put... read more
I read this book to make a recommendation to the Psychology teacher at the high school where I am the librarian. The teacher created an assignment for her classes where groups of kids would read a book together on a psychological condition in a book group type setting. I read many books on all different types of conditions over a fairly short period of time and then selected twelve books or so for her students to read. This book made the cut. I thought it was a very accessible book on the topic of schizophrenia in terms of language and length for high school students.
I have talked to several of the students who were assigned this book and all seemed to think that the book did a good job explaining one person's story with schizophrenia without boring them with a lot of psychological/medical terminology.
I will recommend this book to students who come to my library wanting to learn about schizophrenia.

The city of Rio de Janeiro is covered by an extensive road, railway and port transportation network.
Numerous bus routes serve the metropolitan region, linking the main centres to the city's outlying areas.
Rio's Metro (underground/subway) system has two lines: Line 1 has 19 stations, connecting the neighbourhoods of Tijuca and Ipanema, and it has integrated Metro-bus services going to Barra da Tijuca, Gávea and Botafogo. Line 2 goes from the neighbourhood of Pavuna to Cidade Nova in Rio's city centre. It has 16 stations and integrated Metro-bus services going to Barra da Tijuca and Jacarepaguá.
Metro Line 1 is being extended, adding an extra six stations between Ipanema and Barra da Tijuca, thereby facilitating movements within the city. The 14-kilometre extension will increase the Metro's capacity by 230,000 passengers per day and it is scheduled to open in December 2015.
In 2011, the creation of exclusive bus lanes (Bus Rapid Systems, or BRSs) with streamlined bus stops improved traffic flows in the neighbourhoods of Copacabanca, Leblon and Ipanema, as well as the city centre.
In June 2012, the first of four Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridors catalysed by the Games was opened. Called Transoeste, this first 32-kilometre BRT corridor links the neighbourhoods of Santa Cruz and Barra da Tijuca. It has cut travel times between these two neighbourhoods by 50%.
Another three BRT corridors will be opened by 2016: Transcarioca, which will connect the neighbourhood of Barra da Tijuca, the heart of the Games, to Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport; Transolímpica, which will link Barra da Tijuca and Deodoro, two important Rio 2016™ Olympic and Paralympic Games zones; and Transbrasil, which will provide access from Avenida Brasil, one of the main routes in and out of the city, to the competition zones.

Open air market held in Marcellus, Michigan on Main Street. Saturdays from 9 am - 1 pm.Our Adoption Process:
Our adoption applications can be filled out online at www.thelongdogretreat.org and then clicking on "Applications and Forms".Please complete this application in order to begin the adoption process. All applications must be approved prior to placement. It is very important that you answer all the questions honestly so that we can place a dog in your home that will become a permanent family member. Some dachshunds we rescue are great with kids, some are better with just adults. Some do well outside, others do not. Your honest answers will help us find a dog that is good for your circumstances. Please contact us via e-mail or call (757)647-5146 and leave a message on mailbox #2 if you have any questions.
Please do not be intimidated by the application. It is long and thorough but it is because we are trying to find the best fit for the dogs. If you are gone for most of the day, for example, a puppy that requires a great deal of training may not be the best fit but a dog that is a little older and already house trained could be perfect for you.
Our adoption fees are much lower than what you would pay to a breeder or pet store and what is better is that our fees include the following;
Rabies vaccination
DHLPPC annual booster shot
Heartworm & fecal check
Heartworm treatment
Spay / neuter
Micro-chipping (you must transfer to your name and pay the annual fee)
Other medical treatment needed
All of the above will be taken care of prior to adoption. You should, however, still consider taking the dog to your veterinarian upon adoption.
We genuinely care about the welfare of all dachshunds; therefore, it is standard procedure to do a home check as part of the application process prior to placing a dachshund in a new home.
Adopting a rescued dog is sometimes quite different than bringing home a brand new puppy. Sometimes our rescued dogs come from great homes where they have received lots of TLC, but for one reason or another, the family cannot keep them. Sometimes the dog has been a stray for some time, been in a shelter, or not been in the best of homes. We do a temperament check on all of our rescue dogs, and will not adopt out an aggressive dog. There are some dogs that have what can best be described as personality quirks due to their history. We try to do our best to work through trust issues with the dogs rather than euthanize them. When you adopt a rescued dog, there will be a period of adjustment for both human and pet. Lots of understanding, quiet time, and bonding with one or two family members will help. We will be able to help you with specifics at the time of adoption, but do keep in mind that adopting a rescued dog can be challenging. We hope to hear from you soon and thank you for choosing adoption!
Adoption Fees
Standard Adoption Fee $250.00
Prior Long Dog Retreat Adopter $200.00
Bonded Pair $375.00
Senior/Senior Adopter/Dachshund Mix or Special Needs $150.00

The 29-year-old was thrust on stage as a shy little girl by parents Matthew and Tina Knowles, who puled her out of school at just 14 after recognising they had given birth to the future Queen of Bootyliciousness.
"Socially I did miss out," she told The Sun.
"I left school at 14 and had a tutor. I was never exposed to people long enough to make friends so my family became my friends.
"Very early on, my mum was telling me to be who I wanted to be. So I wanted to be a hair stylist for a while, then a dance teacher.
"When I was seven, I performed on stage for the first time and fell in love with the feeling. I was awkward around other kids but felt comfortable on the stage.
"I said to my mum, 'There is no way this will work but I am going to be a singer'. I was in a group, aged nine, and my dad, Matthew, left his job to manage us."

Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Cattleya The only thing I can do is commiserate. I have newly planted Echinacea that seemed to be shrinking? I took a good look and they were chewed down almost to the ground and I remembered a rabbit scampering away when I approached the area. Guess we'll just have to get some Squirrel & Rabbit BEGONE!! Cheer up, it could be worse, but I understand the frustration. |
I know the feeling. I have had several chomped off near the base. @#$%& ! ... and right under my nose. |
Dear Friends: Now I didn't get a nice photo of my squirrel but I knew that he had been in one of my flower boxes hanging over the deck. I heard that moth balls help that they don't like the smell so I wrapped some in little bags of cut up panty hose ( one in each end) and it seems to have worked as they have not returned and its been several weeks. |

I feel your pain. I have bunny rabbits that love my rose bushes. How they can eat those thorns and still hop around is beyond me, but they do it. This is my first year with Dahlias, and so far everything's leaving them alone. |

I wonder if Liquid Fence would deter squirrels? I don't have a problem with them (yet). No really big trees in the area (newly developed). Liquid Fence does work well to keep the rabbits out of my roses. |
I use to have a big problem with animals big and small using my garden as a buffet. The Liquid Fence has helped amazingly. It actually does keep the squirrels out because I still see them chillin' in my neighbors' yards but they NEVER come in to mine anymore. I spray it about every other day and that seems to work well. I know it smells like "rear end" but it works wonders. |

Why do you need to do this in C?
Couldn't you just have a short bash script that runs telnet/ftp/whatever on the host, and parses the output for anything interesting?

I am working on a tool similar to nmap. So i need to find out the services/version running on each port of the host being scanned.
if i do a system("telnet hostname") to capture the banner, its asking me for login credentials, stalling the program.
for (each port)
connect(...); // make a connection to that port
recv(...); // recv the response/banner
The abov prgm works for ftp, ssh,smtp. but not for telnet.
so i want to send request packets to telnet just enough for me to get the banner as response. i do not want the host asking me for login.
