Other Pets at Kitty Kat Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Raja, a Mesa Russian Blue cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Russian Blue for sale in Mesa, or seeking a Russian Blue cat from a breeder in Mesa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mesa already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mesa breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Russian Blue breeders who help with Russian Blue rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mesa paves the way for another one to be saved.

Thief uses bucket on his head as disguise
POSTED: Friday, January 18, 2013 - 7:50am
UPDATED: Friday, January 18, 2013 - 3:59pm
A Louisiana man is facing burglary charges after police say he forgot a crucial part of his break-in plan, a disguise. Although he did his best to conceal his identity with a bucket!
The police say the suspect entered the store dressed in camouflage, gloves, and burglary tools to steal from his former employer. Officers say he forgot the seafood restaurant where he used to work had security cameras, so he put a bucket on his head.
He managed to get away with cash from the register, but then tried to hit another business and was unsuccessful. His bucket disguise wasn't enough to keep him from getting caught, police say they eventually arrested him.

New grant helps Baptist Hospital support continuum of care
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Feb. 14, 2013 – Baptist Hospital has received a $19,000 grant from The Baptist Healing Trust to support patients in receiving after-care and locating a primary care physician following a visit to the hospital's emergency department.
The Baptist Hospital emergency department had over 38,000 patient encounters in 2012, many of which do not have a primary care provider or a medical home. Additionally, a large percentage of those patients are uninsured or require real time appointments with a primary care provider or specialist immediately to continue their care.
With financial support of the Baptist Healing Trust grant, Baptist Hospital will continue for a second year to work with MyHealthDirect, a health services solutions company that assists patients in finding a medical home to receive prompt after care. The company connects patients with 16 family and community clinics within Davison County in Nashville, Tenn., and more than 40 physicians.
"Our patients are our number one priority," said Bernie Sherry, president and CEO of Baptist Hospital. "We know that after patients are discharged from our emergency room for non-emergent care, the most important thing is connecting them with a primary care provider or medical home. This ultimately reduces the long-term cost to patients and ensures they are receiving the best quality care."
The Baptist Health Trust recently awarded funds totaling almost $2.1 million to 56 local non-profits for a variety of health related projects, according to President & CEO Cathy Self. The Baptist Healing Trust fosters access to compassionate healthcare in Middle Tennessee through its grant making and programs.
Recipients of the contributions include non-profit organizations from all over Middle Tennessee working to create access to quality, compassionate health services for the community's most vulnerable. This year's grants bring the collective grant making of the Baptist Healing Trust to over $59 million since 2002.

Every human being needs feedback – be it
positive or negative. The delivery of this feedback needs to be tampered so
that it does not destroy or demoralise an individual. Yet despite this, when it
comes to our children, it somehow seems easier for parents to criticise than
praise. Children tend to hear more negative comments about themselves and or
their behaviour as opposed to positive comments.
Yet as counselling psychologist Joseph
Nginya notes, "Children desperately need to know that their efforts and
behaviours are noticed, approved of and appreciated". He, however, notes that
while it is important to praise your child and that this needs to be done often
and consistently, the praise offered needs to be equally balanced out with
healthy criticism if the child is to grow up as a well-rounded individual.
According to Nginya, there are specific
ways to deliver feedback that a parent can adhere to if they hope to get the
message across. "When it comes to negative feedback," he says, "do not attack
the child; focus on the issue or the mistake committed." Nginya notes that
negative feedback often fails because many times, a parent becomes emotional in
their feedback delivery. Giving a practical example, he notes that calling a
child useless because they did not follow your instructions for a specific
errand you have assigned them is counter-productive. Instead, such a child
needs to be told why they need to follow your instructions and made to
understand that your anger and disappointment is because of their actions and
not because of them as individuals.
When it comes to positive feedback or
praise, Nginya notes that there are three aspects a parent needs to observe:
- The first is that
praise needs to be honest. "There is a very thin line between honesty and
flattery," he says, "and as your child grows older, they will learn
to identify the difference and will not appreciate your dishonesty."
Honest praise is based on facts e.g. their performance and adherence to laid
down value or belief systems. - The second is that
praise needs to be in line with reality. "By your words and actions,"
Nginya says, "do not build your children up to think that they are
invincible, making them puffed up and unable to relate with other people. This
is especially so when what is being praised is not of the child's doing e.g.
physical attributes or talents."
Nginya notes that focusing endlessly on these attributes, even seeming to show
favouritism because of them does more harm than good to the child while ignoring
them is not the answer either. "Acknowledge these gifts," he says,
"let your child know they are blessed, but teach them how to handle
themselves in ways that endear them to others."
- The third is that
praise should always be projective. "Knowing the values you want to instill
in your child for their future benefit will guide a parent in knowing what to
praise and how to praise it," says Nginya. If for example you want your
child to learn the importance of courtesy and respect, you will praise them
every time they use courtesy words like please, thank you etc. By zeroing in on
how your child makes another person feel each time they use these words, you
are able to reinforce values that will stay with them for a life time.
Ultimately, since children learn by
imitation, as they see their parents being positive, appreciative people
capable of giving feedback in sensitive ways, the child will learn to emulate
these habits and go on to become affable people capable of fitting into any
social setting.

I am trying to decide between these two colors for my family room. I just purchased a gray sofa from Crate and Barrel (the Klyne). I am trying to go with a yellow and gray look. First, I painted Hawthorne yellow on my walls, and it was just too bright of a yellow for me. I want to tone it down a bit, but still be able to use yellow pillows and other yellow accents. I'm worried that the Waterbury Cream is too gold though and that the Dunmore Cream is too pale/tan.
Does anyone have any thoughts on or pictures of these two colors? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
i'd go with the dunmore cream and use brighter/stronger colors in the accents like you're talking about with pillows and such. Plus, you can always switch to different accent colors in the future and not be married to such yellow/gold walls. |
I painted my house a pale yellow (Cream Yellow) and tested quite a few pale yellows. I didn't test those two, but you might want to look at Windham Cream, Weston Flax, or Jicama (a creamy yellow Affinity color I have in my den, very pretty). I also find it helpful to paint large posterboard samples (I think all of those colors come in those 2-oz sample containers at a BM store) and look at it in your room in the changing light at different times of day. |
If you are familiar with C2 paints, there is a very buttery soft yellow (not gold or bright yellow) called Sugar Cookie which you may want to take a look at. I'm sure they can match it in a BM paint |

Guys With Kids
A show about fatherhood? What more could we want. It's a comedic look at the bond between guys and more than the ups and downs of changing diapers. New fathers will grow with the characters, including Anthony Anderson and Tempestt Bledsoe, and old fathers will laugh with the memories of their younger years.

Below are some of the better paranormal pictures we've taken over the years, or that have been submitted to us for posting. I've included a note about each to help you better understand what is in them. Enjoy!
One of our subscribers from YouTube submitted the following picture to us. It was taken by her husband with his cell phone camera, and appears to have an apparition on the left side of the frame (in her hair).
Here's the same image only cropped and enlarged:
Sara's explanation of the photo:
" I can assure you that the picture is authentic. Other pictures taken that day on the phone had no such image or anything unusual in them.
I did have an acquaintance of mine who is a medium take a look at it. She made a connection that never would have crossed my mind. She immediately said it had a connection to "Evangeline", the poem by Longfellow. I have a very old copy of "Evangeline." It was a gift from my mother. I am of French/Cajun decent. She felt that it was connected to the book. And coincidentally, it is on the shelf that was directly behind me in the photo! She also felt it was some kind of clergy person in the picture. I asked my mother where she bought the book and sure enough, she bought it at a monastery!
Maybe my copy of Evangeline belonged to a clergy person who loved the story as much as I do and maybe he is with me in some way because of the book and the connection of our admiration of it. "
Thank you, Sara for sharing this amazing photo with us!
This picture was taken at the Brookdale Lodge in Brookdale, CA. The thing of interest is an orb that appears just below the white trim of the apex shaped over hang. See the next picture for an enlargement of the actual orb.
Orb captured in the above picture, only enlarged. Notice the man inside the orb. He has on a hat!
During that same trip to the Brookdale Lodge, we visited a nearby bridge, and to our surprise we caught the following apparition:
Now you might think that this is just fog or a mist from the river, which is what I thought at first. But then I saw the very next picture frame. And the same thing was in the next picture, only now it has turned to look at me:
Here is the 2nd image, zoomed:
And here is the 2nd image, inverted and enhance to bring out the ghostly image:
Also captured during this trip, was this face that appeared to be looking at me as I took a picture of this door:
During the seance, the following image was captured that has what looks like a ghostly deer leg in it. This was very interesting as directly above where the picture was shot was a trophy of a buck.
Here's the Deer Leg cropped so you can get a better view of it:

[671] Neutrophilic Infiltration in Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy (GSE): A Series of 100 Pediatric Patients
OK Kolman, I Brown, CJ Moran, GJ Russell, M Mino-Kenudson. Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA; Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, Taringa, Australia
Background: While several small studies postulate that neutrophils constitute a part of the duodenal inflammatory infiltrate in GSE, neutrophils are commonly seen in other duodenal pathology, such as peptic injury, and may complicate the diagnosis of GSE. To define the spectrum of neutrophilic activity in GSE, we reviewed a series of 100 pediatric patients with GSE, the largest in the literature to date.
Design: 114 duodenal and 100 antral biopsies obtained as part of initial assessment for GSE of 100 patients with positive Celiac serology and symptomatic response to a gluten-free diet were semiquantitatively evaluated for histologic parameters of disease activity [intraepithelial lymphocytes per 100 enterocytes (IEL), lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the lamina propria (LPI), crypt hyperplasia and villous blunting combined as "disease activity score"(DAS: 0-12)], neutrophilic activity [lamina propria infiltration, surface exocytosis, and cryptitis, combined as "neutrophilic activity score"(NAS: 0-6)], eosinophilic infiltration (0-3), foveolar metaplasia (0-2), and Brunner gland hyperplasia (BGH; 0-1). Antral biopsies were evaluated for the presence and type of gastritis.
Results: The patients were 63% female with average age of 9.3 years (range: 1.5-20). 28% of patients had mild and 59% moderate villous blunting, with mean IEL of 67 (range 10-140). 78% showed neutrophilic infiltration, with neutrophilic exocytosis in 47%, and cryptitis in 20%. In multivariate analysis, NAS correlated inversely with age (p= .003) and positively with the DAS (p=.004), but correlation with IEL (p=.10) and eosinophilic infiltration (p=.09) were not significant. Mean age of low NAS (45% of patients, score: 0-1) was 11.0, while mean age of high NAS (55%, score: 2-5) was 7.9 (p=.002). In univariate analysis, NAS correlated with the presence of H. pylori negative lymphocytic gastritis (18% of patients, p=.002). NAS showed no significant relationship to presence of foveolar metaplasia (11% of patients, p=.28) or BGH (16%, p=.36).
Conclusions: Our study shows that neutrophilic infiltration is not uncommon in duodenal biopsies of patients with GSE, correlates with the overall disease activity, and is more frequently seen in younger patients. Thus, prominent duodenal neutrophilic infiltration is not diagnostic of superimposed peptic injury or other entities, especially in young children with clinical findings supportive of GSE.

Is it balanced to have, say, a Stormtrooper, Commissar, Sergeant and Weapon Specialist in the same party, or are they for different powerlevels? I have no mind for balance and the book isn't clear on it.
Guardsman/Support Specialty Mixed Parties Are Balanced?
Posted 22 June 2012 - 03:24 PM
Posted 22 June 2012 - 08:36 PM
Well the sergeant and the Commisioner for example have very different jobs to do. The Sergeant is very good at making his troops fight more effectively, while the Commisar is a superb warrior with some methods to enforce discipline. But, there is a big range in powerlevels, a wise gm guides the procves to build a balanced party.
Posted 23 June 2012 - 02:04 AM
I thought the game was fairly balanced between the 2 myself, afterall that extra 300xp could probably buy (can't recall the costs) the Sergeant at least 1 Sweeping Order, making them have a fairly useful leadership power.
And I made a Commissar today to try out character creation, and that 300xp that the Commissar gets total doesn't buy you much, for me only an Agility advancement and Quick Draw.

Ordering for a Team? Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
I swim laps to keep in shape during pregnancy. This suit gaps just a little under the armpits but I have a small chest. Good fit everywhere else. It does not sag and create drag which I feel like I already have with my growing mid section:) Swimming after delivery will seem so easy. I am excited to find a suit that will help me keep up the swimming.
It's a little too early to say, and maybe it's because I purchased the suit too soon, but it seems MUCH bigger than a size small. I'm not the smallest woman out there, and though I'm only starting to show, it seems like there is much too much material. Hopefully I'll grow into it, but right now, I am having doubts about finding a correct-sized maternity fitness swimsuit.

In general, broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or channels within the band concurrently, allowing more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time (much as more lanes on a highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time). Related terms are wideband (a synonym), baseband (a one-channel band), and narrowband (sometimes meaning just wide enough to carry voice, or simply "not broadband," and sometimes meaning specifically between 50 cps and 64 Kpbs).
Various definers of broadband have assigned a minimum data rate to the term. Here are a few:
- Newton's Telecom Dictionary: "...greater than a voice grade line of 3 KHz...some say [it should be at least] 20 KHz."
- Jupiter Communications: at least 256 Kbps.
- IBM Dictionary of Computing: A broadband channel is "6 MHz wide."
It is generally agreed that Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and cable TV are broadband services in the downstream direction.

Working with addictions is about not just impulsively grabbing for something to stop the itching, not just grabbing for something to fill up the space, not giving in to this impulse to feel okay and just to get comfortable as soon as possible. When we scratch the wound and give into our addictions we do not allow the wound to heal. But when we instead experience the raw quality of the itch or pain of the wound and do not scratch it, we actually allow the wound to heal. So not giving in to our addictions is about healing at a very basic level. It is about truly nourishing ourselves. The view that is presented in the Buddhist teachings is not one of becoming a better person, or finally getting it right, but is a view based on trusting what we already have, of starting and staying where we already are."[1]
So when we don't give into our addictions, when we begin to heal at this fundamental level, then we begin to reach the heart of our recovery.
The heart of recovery is the recovery of our empty, open, loving heart, free of the self-centered, self-willed ego.
The heart of recovery is the heart of compassion, the heart of radiant, luminous energy.
The heart of recovery is the heart of freedom and gratitude; the embers of love that are there in each of our hearts ready to be reignited.
[1]Working With Addictions, Pema Chodron

Yeah, not so much. Pan performs a short monologue titled "Why Some People Aren't Meant to Be Parents" before explaining something that Rumpel really should have seen coming: Pan created the cuff, and formulated it specifically so that its powers wouldn't work on him. He then slaps the spell-blocking snap bracelet onto Rumpel's wrist and saunters out of the shop. Oh Pan, I think I'll miss you most of all!
And now comes the most terrifying part of the episode: Pan appears in the middle of town, freezes our heroes in their tracks, and starts gleefully chatting about which of them he's going to kill first. His scenes are interspersed with shots of Rumpel back at the pawn shop, desperately trying to remove the cuff... then picking up his sword... then darting his eyes between the sword and his wrist... ACK! RUMPEL! NO NO NO NO NO! I did not sign up to watch 127 Hours: The Desolation of Pan tonight!
Luckily, Rump ends up electing to keep his hand. Instead, he strides into the street to meet his father, declaring that he doesn't need magic after all. Why? Because Rumpel's detached shadow has just flown in from Neverland, bearing the one weapon that can defeat Pan once and for all: The Dark One's dagger.
I'm blanking on when, exactly, it was established for sure that if Pan dies, Rumpel will die as well. But that's apparently the case -- and Rumpel has grown strong enough to accept his fate. So he says a touching goodbye to Bae and Belle before stabbing Pan in the back, forcing the villain to transform from an eternal boy into the sad, bedraggled man he was before ever setting foot on Neverland. There's a brief bit of pleading on Pan/Malcolm's part -- if Rump spares him, he promises, they can have a fresh start and a happy ending! But Rumpel's mind is made up: "I'm a villain. And villains don't get happy endings."
With that, Rumpel twists the knife some more, finally bringing Pan's reign to an end -- and disappearing into the ether, along with his father's body. Belle is weeping. Bae is stoically devastated. Evidently, they don't remember that another Once character just came back to life like, ten minutes ago. If this was indeed the end of Rumpel, I'm going to need some time to deal with my feelings -- but I've got a hunch that the Dark One is about as dead as Brian Griffin.
NEXT: Say goodnight, Storybrooke

I want to serve marinated mushrooms as part of an antipasto platter. Don't want to use canned, I want to make them from fresh button mushrooms.
Anyone have a T&T ? |

I use my vinaigrette recipe for marinating mushrooms; I simplified it for you. I normally use fresh herbs, but for a marinade, that is not necessary. Mushroom Vinaigrette Marinade Ingredients 3 tbsp Dijon mustard Directions Process in blender, adding the oil last. Yield: approx. 1-2/3 cups If you do not have molasses, you can add sugar to taste or use honey mustard instead of Dijon mustard. I cut the mushrooms into single portion size (halves or fourths or whole if very small), store them with enough marinade to cover them in a covered bowl for about and hour and then grill them very lightly - not enough to dry them out. A stovetop grill works fine. I make this recipe a lot, but I generally grill them over charcoal on skewers. You have to be careful not to overcook them, but they should not be raw. They can be served hot or cold, and are especially good in a green salad. Lars |
Really simple, really delicious. MARINATED FRESH MUSHROOMS 1 Pound Fresh Button Mushrooms, stems trimmed In a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the Oil and the Vinegar. Whisk in the remaining ingredients until the Sugar has dissolved. Taste and correct seasonings as necessary. Set Aside. Bring a large pot of Water to a full rolling boil. Add the trimmed Mushrooms and blanch for two minutes. Remove Mushrooms from water and drain. While still warm, place the Mushrooms in a large bowl and pour in the Vinaigrette Dressing. Toss to cover, serve at room temperature. Steve |
These are excellent. Of course you can vary the seasonings to taste too :-) Alexa Marinated Mushrooms (Funghi Oreganata) 14 oz Mushrooms Brush off the mushrooms, and cut off any woody stems. Cut the mushrooms into quarters or halves if they are large. Boil the water, and squeeze the lemons into the hot water. Add the mushrooms, and cook until tender. Drain well. In another pot, add two cups of water and 1 cup of white vinegar and bring to a boil. Add the mushrooms and cook until foam appears. Drain in a sieve over the sink for two hours. |
I guess I am a Phillistine.... I just dump the mushrooms into boiling water for about 3 or 4 minutes depending on size....rinse with cold water and cover with a vinaigrette made from equal parts olive oil and vinegar....the vinegar is half cider vinegar and half balsamic....or sometimes half lemon juice. I add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 3 or 4 cloves of chopped garlic and lots of chopped herbs....fresh! If it's summer I like thyme and parsley or perhaps just lots of basil. If it's winter I use lots of parsley and some dried oregano. I like to let them marinate in the refrig at least over night. Linda C |
Sharon here is another for your consideration. I have made these several times and they are wonderful. Balsamic Mushrooms 1/4 c olive oil Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes, season with pepper. Cook one minute more. Transfer to serving dish, serve hot or at room temperature. Linda |
Thanks everyone. Think I'll go with a combo of Steve's, Linda's and Alexa's which are so similar ! I like the idea of them being blanched for the tray I'm preparing. The other two recipes sound great and I'll be sure to use them as a side when grilling this summer. |

Cape Town
One&Only Cape Town
Cape Town, 8001, South Africa
This resort, which opened in 2009 on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, features 131 spacious, high-tech rooms and a knockout first impression: the hotel's 40-foot-tall picture window framing Table Mountain at Vista Bar & Lounge. Outsize luxury is trumpeted everywhere here, from the tri-level "wine loft" in front of Rueben's to an outpost of sushi master Nobuyuki Matsuhisa's Nobu and the spa's two manicure clinics by Bastien Gonzalez. The cream-colored, Adam D. Tihany–designed rooms are slick and vast; baths have a wow factor, too, though with a notable style-over-substance lapse (the freestanding tubs are huge, beautiful—and a bit uncomfortable).
Room to Book:
Room 505 (a Marina Mountain View room) has beautiful views of Table Mountain as does Suite 507 (a one bedroom Marina Grand suite) with its lounge, dining room, and separate his/her bathrooms.
Insider Tip:
Splurge on a suite upgrade—a great value with perks like local snacks and a bottle of South African wine.

Anna James unlocks her exciting new collection - Via dell' Amore - a themed showcase of three interconnected yet individually stunning and unique objects from the loveannajames studio.
Via dell'Amore continues to play on Anna's signature theme of Love which was celebrated in her previous collection Verona. The pieces within the collection all make individual and sometimes purposely ambiguous statements on the physical, emotional and sometimes metaphysical processes that come into play in locking together two hearts.
Moving from courtship to commitment "Hope Chest", to seduction "Smoke Screen" and devotion "Star Cross Lovers" the pieces simultaneously bring to light the constraints and freedoms that being in love can bring. Via dell'Amore - literally "pathways of love" - names and also describes the themes that have inspired this stunning new collection of unique artworks.
Hope Chest is a beautifully restored 19th Century dowry chest. The exterior is covered with elaborate French lace and has an equally seductive interior fitted with black velvet Chesterfield paneling. The chest contains an inlaid display of antique handpainted white keys.
Smoke Screen is a fabric printed Victorian screen, decorated solely with playfully provocative smoke trails printed on a black background. Immediately conjuring images of seduction scenes played out in classic film noir boudoirs.
StarCrossed Lovers is directly inspired by the most famous lovers of all, the illfated Romeo and Juliet. Created using a restored Edwardian love seat, two handpainted images of nebulae in the night sky were created to represent two lovers, photographed and combined before being applied as a print on fabric to cover this antiquated location for formal courtship, the love seat.

Lake Superior Public Beach Advisory Posted; Overflows Spur Additional Testing
Media Contact: Anne Perry Moore (218) 723-2356 Technical Contact: Heidi Bauman (218) 723-4953 All MPCA staff, toll-free (voice and TTY): (800) 657-3864 Duluth, Minn. -- The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) beach water monitoring program is in full swing with one advisory sign going up, one being taken down and adding testing days at two regularly-monitored sites due to nearby sewer system overflows. "Heavy rainfall and the resulting churned-up sediment are the likely explanations why we placed a 'water contact not recommended' sign at the Bluebird Landing public beach today," said Heidi Bauman, MPCA Beach Program Coordinator. "And the rainfall-related sewer system overflows in eastern Duluth mean we'll be testing two nearby monitoring sites more times than usual." According to Bauman, the Bluebird Landing site, northeast of the French River, had an unsafe level of E. coli bacteria and will remain posted until bacteria counts fall below the health-risk threshold. Bacteria levels at Duluth's 14th Street / Duluth Boat Club Landing beach, where advisory signs were posted on June 17, returned to normal yesterday and signs will be taken down today. If anyone becomes ill after contact with beach water, they should contact Amy Westbrook at the Minnesota Department of Health Duluth office at (218) 723-4907. A number of other factors, such as dog, geese and other wildlife feces, dirty diapers, failing septic systems and stormwater runoff can contribute to higher levels of illness-causing bacteria. Funding and program restrictions keep MPCA staff from researching the origin of beach water bacteria. For more information about the beaches currently under advisories or for a list of regular monitoring locations, call Heidi Bauman at (218) 723-4953, toll-free at (800) 657-3864 or visit the related MPCA Web page at http://www.mnbeaches.org. People interested in receiving e-mail alerts about their favorite public swimming beaches may sign up for a free service at that Web site. Others may call the program's 24-hour hotline at (218) 725-7724 to hear an updated message about sites with currently-posted advisories.

"My Dad Has HIV," is a new book written by Earl Alexander, Sheila Rudin, Pam Sejkora. It was Illustrated by Ronnie Walter Shipman for ages four to eight years. It costs $14.95, 8 x 10, 32 pages, hardcover (ISBN 0-25190-99-3)
In the story, Lindsey's father, who is HIV+, helps out during Fun Day at school and is sometimes a substitute teacher for Lindsey's class. At first, Lindsey was afraid of what would happen and what people would think. Would her father die? Would anyone want to be her friend?
After her father and her teachers help explain to Lindsey and her classmates exactly what HIV is and how it can make you sick, Lindsey is proud of her father for teaching people about HIV.
At the end of the story, she tells about how her father is doing everything he can to stay healthy, and she hopes that doctors and scientists around the world will find a cure for HIV soon.
Filled with colorful and hopeful illustrations, My Dad Has HIV is a touching first-person narrative with a simple science lesson that young children can understand. Unlike other children's books on HIV and AIDS, My Dad Has HIV is a positive and helpful tool for teachers and counselors that focuses on people who can and do live with HIV.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bailey!
Facts about Bailey
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Bailey's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Bailey was found by a state trooper on an overpass. Lucky she wasn't already killed. She is very sweet and gentle as well as housebroken, spayed and up to date on shots. Requested donation of $75 to help offset medical costs.
Other Pets at Loving Paws Adoption Center/ Pulaski County Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bailey, a Crocker Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Crocker, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Crocker.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Crocker already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Crocker breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Crocker paves the way for another one to be saved.

A Texas diabetic received the ultimate gift from his daughter on Father's Day - life.
Jeremy Berez of Dallas had been on dialysis for his condition for about a year and desperately needed a kidney transplant, but was told by his doctors that he was too old to receive one. Later, testing revealed Jerry's daughter, Tracy Berez, was a perfect match.
"There was no hesitation - she said 'We're going to do it Dad' - and we did it," the 74-year-old told CBS Dallas affiliate TXA 21. "I opened my eyes, the first thing I said is 'How's Tracy?'"
"He looked so good," Tracy said. "I think he was perkier than I was."
"We just gave each other a hug and a kiss and we told each other how much we loved each other," she said. "I told him how great he looked and how great he sounded. And it's just pretty amazing that one day it's in me and the next day it's in him and he's looking great and doing good."
Jerry said he was more concerned about his daughter than himself, but Tracy insisted the transplant surgery was a win-win situation.
Doctors expect Jeremy to be released from the hospital on Tuesday.

According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, Virginia Tech has hired former assistant James Johnson as its new men's basketball coach.
Johnson left Virginia Tech a few weeks ago for an assistant coaching job at Clemson, just prior to Seth Greenberg being fired as the Hokies' head coach. Greenberg was fired April 23.
Johnson was an assistant coach at Virginia Tech from 2007 to 2011. He was named associate head coach for the 2011-12 season. He played his college ball at Ferrum College.
During his five seasons on Virginia Tech's coaching staff, the Hokies averaged 20 wins and made four postseason appearances. In addition, Virginia Tech went 9-7 or better in the ACC in three of Johnson's five seasons on staff.
Johnson was very instrumental in recruiting at Virginia Tech. The Hokies' 2011 class was ranked No. 12 nationally by ESPNU.
Before coming to Virginia Tech, Johnson was an assistant coach for two years at George Mason under Jim Larranaga. George Mason made it to the Final Four in the 2005-06 season.
Johnson has also spent time as an assistant at Penn State, College of Charleston, Longwood College, and Hargrave Military Academy.
Johnson is from Powhatan.

Final Thoughts
Nothing really exciting across the board except for the jump in non AA/AF Open GL performance for the Low to Mid range line up. If you're playing Splinter Cell or UT2004, these drivers should give you a healthy increase and will make your upgrade totally worthwhile.
We are excited about re-working our benchmark line up so we can give you a clearer picture into some more modern games.
Keep an eye out for the Catalyst 6.6 drivers next month as nobody knows when they are going to pop up and surprise us.
Until next month, Happy Benchmarking!

Gangster Fun: Come See Come Ska
Gangster Fun was a Detroit Third-Wave ska band active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Although beloved of the local scene and an influence on later bands that would be better-known such as The Suicide Machines, they never really hit it big. That was a shame, because they were one of the best ska bands ever, even outranking heavyweights like Bim Skala Bim and The Toasters.
This is their first LP, Come See Come Ska. It was produced by Mike E. Clark, who would later produce albums by George Clinton, Insane Clown Posse, and Kid Rock, and issued by the imaginatively-named English label "Ska Records". Very few copies were pressed, and I've even had a member of the band ask me for a copy (I found mine for 50¢ at a Kiwanis sale).

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., today announced the sentencing of MIGUEL PADILLA, 45, to 17 years in state prison for firing a weapon multiple times in East Harlem with the intent to kill. On January 11, 2012, PADILLA pled guilty to Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, Attempted Assault in the First Degree, and Assault in the Second Degree.
"Today's sentencing ensures that a violent and reckless criminal will be off New York City streets," said District Attorney Vance. "To fire a gun several times into a car filled with people is to act with utter disregard for human life. What started as a petty argument over a parking space could have resulted in tragedy. Gun violence continues to traumatize families, plague neighborhoods, and destroy the futures of countless young men and women."
According to the guilty plea and documents filed in court, on January 1, 2011, following a dispute over a parking space, PADILLA shot a semiautomatic pistol several times at a man driving a Chevy Impala along East 107th Street with his wife and four-year-old child inside the vehicle. The shots did not strike the intended victim, but instead struck a 13-year-old boy who was a passenger in a minivan parked near the Impala. The gunshots shattered the rear window of the minivan and grazed the victim's head. The victim was treated and released from the hospital, and has since made a full recovery.
Assistant District Attorney Andrew Searle is handling the prosecution of the case under the supervision of Assistant District Attorney William Mahoney, Chief of Trial Bureau 60; Assistant District Attorney John Wolfstaetter, Co-Chief of the Vehicular Crimes Unit; and Executive Assistant District Attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Chief of the Trial Division. NYPD Sergeant Kristine Gosling and Detectives David Broadwell, Antonio Rivera, Michael Haverty, Thomas Fischer, Felix Cruz, and Rafael Munoz assisted in the investigation.

Hi, Marianne. My great, great grandfather, Charles F. Schmidtke emigrated around 1856 from the Konigsberg area to New York City. I have no information on any family he left behind in Prussia. He came to the State of Texas after the American Civil War to a small town called Bandera. He did well there, eventually being a partner in the ownership of the town mill and a general store.

TUCSON - Reid Park Zoo announced Thursday that "Kitabu" an elderly male African Lion, died overnight.
A necropsy is being performed today. Preliminary results will be available Friday and final examination reports are expected in several weeks.
According to zoo officials, there was a noticeable decline in Kitabu's health over the past two days. Animal care staff and the Zoo veterinarian were attempting non-evasive medical treatments before moving on to a detailed exam with anesthesia. He suffered a stroke in February and has been on medication and undergoing physical therapy since that time. Kitabu was born at Reid Park Zoo and was 18 when he died.
"Like all animals at Reid Park Zoo, Kitabu received quality whole-life care until the day he died. Although his death deeply saddens the staff, his death was not surprising. We are thankful the end was trauma free," states Jim Schnoremier, the Zoo General Curator.
"I am extremely proud of the staff members who helped him through a difficult medical issue earlier this year and provided him with several additional months of a high quality life." The average life expectancy of a lion is 15 years in the wild, while lions in zoos can expect to live into their late teens.
A young female, Kaya, will remain on exhibit daily. The Zoo will work with colleague institutions through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums to make recommendations regarding the acquisition of additional lions, if appropriate. The Zoo will keep guests informed on its web site.
During this challenging time, keepers welcome guests' thoughts, memories, and photos of Kitabu on its Facebook page.
The Zoo is open 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily. Guests can call 791-4022 or visit www.tucsonzoo.org for additional information.

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, PPH
Primary pulmonary hypertension or PPH occurs when blood pressure in the pulmonary artery or the major blood vessel connecting the right heart ventricle and the lungs is higher than normal (The lungs are responsible for supplying the blood with oxygen and ridding the blood of carbon dioxide). Primary pulmonary hypertension arises for no apparent reason and is therefore synonymously known as idiopathic pulmonary hypertension or unexplained pulmonary hypertension. Primary pulmonary hypertension causes have been shown to include use of the diet drugs Fen Phen, Redux (dexfenfluramine) and Pondimin (fenfluramine). A higher pulmonary artery blood pressure causes the heart to work much harder to pump sufficient quantities of blood into the lungs. Over time, the heart muscles weaken and eventually may fail.
Primary pulmonary hypertension is a relatively rare lung disorder with an estimated 500 to 1,000 new cases being diagnosed each year in the United States. The greatest number of PPH cases are reported in women from ages 20 to 40, but men, women and children of all ages can develop this disease. In the calendar year 2000, there were 163,000 hospital discharges in which one of the diagnoses was primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). There is no cure for primary pulmonary hypertension, but treatments can provide great benefits to PPH patients.
Hypertension and the Cardiovascular System
The heart pumps blood from the right ventricle into the lungs through the pulmonary artery. The lungs then supply oxygen to the blood and capture carbon dioxide and other waste materials to be eliminated during exhalation. The blood then flows back to the heart, where the left ventricle pumps it throughout the body. The pumping action of the heart generates the blood flow; blood pressure is generated by resistance to this blood flow. If there is high resistance to this blood flow, then blood pressure rises. Hypertension is a medical term meaning that the blood pressure is higher than normal or that the resistance to blood flow is causing the blood pressure to be at an elevated state.
Pulmonary Hypertension
The normal pressure in the pulmonary artery is between 14 and 18 mm Hg. For patients with pulmonary hypertension, the pressure is normally about 30 to 50% higher or 25 to 30 mmHg. This high pressure has been linked to certain changes in the small blood vessels in the lungs. As the resistance to blood flow in these small vessels increases, it is harder for blood to flow through them and so the blood "backs up." This action causes the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery, which feeds these small lung vessels, to increase. PPH has also been shown to result from narrowing of the pulmonary artery. As this large artery narrows, the force required to pump blood through the artery increases and thus the pressure in the artery increases.
Deaths from Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Primary pulmonary hypertension has no cure. If left untreated, the right side of the heart becomes overworked and eventually fails, leading to death. One study showed that 30% of untreated PPH patients died within 3 years of diagnosis. New treatments for PPH, developed during the 1990's, have helped to relieve the symptoms and improve the quality of life of PPH patients.
