What are Prop 8 and DOMA and Why Do They Matter?
Posted: June 26, 2013 Filed under: College Students, High School Students, history | Tags: current-events, doma, gay marriage, marriage equality, news, politics, prop 8, student news, us government Comments OffThis week, as the Supreme Court released its rulings on a variety of different issues, supporters of same-sex marriage were particularly anxious to hear an important piece of news: the Court's ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California's Proposition 8.
What is the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)?
The Defense of Marriage Act is a federal law that restricts federal marriage rights to opposite-sex couples. It was enacted on September 21, 1996 under the Clinton administration, though Clinton, among others who were involved in the law's enactment, has since changed his position and advocated for its repeal.
The law's exact wording on the issue of marriage is as follows:
"In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word `marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word `spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife." (Defense of Marriage Act)
Among others, these are the benefits that have been denied to same-sex marriages under the Defense of Marriage Act:
- Insurance benefits for government employees
- Social Security survivors' benefits
- Immigration benefits
- Joint tax return benefits
What is Prop. 8?
Prop. 8, or California Proposition 8, is a ballot proposition passed in California's November 2008 elections. Much like DOMA, it declares that only opposite-sex marriages may be recognized by the state of California. The proposition effectively overturns a California Supreme Court ruling released in May of 2008 that found marriage to be a fundamental constitutional right that should be granted to all couples. The timeline of same-sex marriage history in California is shown below:
Who is Edward Snowden and What Did He Do?
Posted: June 21, 2013 Filed under: College Students, High School Students, Opinion | Tags: current-events, edward snowden, news, NSA, nsa scandal, politics, student news, students, wire tapping 6 CommentsSome information for students (from a fellow student) to keep you up to date with this complicated current affair.
There's been a lot of talk going around about Edward Snowden and his disclosure of NSA information, but with the amount of commentary in the media, it's difficult to figure out even some basic information. The purpose of this post is to answer some of the basic questions revolving around Snowden and the NSA.
Who is Edward Snowden?
Born on June 21, 1983 in Wilmington, North Carolina, Edward Joseph Snowden is soon to be thirty years old. He studied computing at Anne Arundel Community College, but illness left him unable to complete his coursework, leaving him without a high school diploma until the later completion of his GED. In 2011, he participated in an online program, working towards a Masters Degree with the University of Liverpool. Seven years earlier, in 2004, Snowden had enlisted in the US Army as a Special Forces recruit, but according to his own reports, was discharged four months later after breaking both his legs in a training accident.
Snowden's former positions include (in the order he held them):
· Working for the NSA, he was a security guard for the Center for the Advanced Study of Language, a covert center.
· He worked for the CIA in IT Security.
· According to his own reports, the CIA placed Snowden in Geneva under diplomatic cover in 2007, where he oversaw network security.
· He reports leaving the CIA to work for a private contractor inside a US military base in Japan for the NSA.
· Until recently, Snowden held a position as a system administrator inside the NSA for consulting company Booz Allen Hamilton in Hawaii. He held this position for under three months and was fired on June 10th after his media disclosures.
What did Snowden disclose?
Through the disclosure of documents and an arranged meeting in Hong Kong with reporter Glen Greenwald, of The Guardian, and documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras, Snowden revealed the following pieces of information:

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 Chance!
Facts about Chance
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Chance's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Chance was found abandoned in the shelter's parking lot on a cold, rainy day. We dried him off, warmed him up, and gave him the name "Chance"! He's young and full of life! He loves to play and enjoys belly rubs and chin scratches! Can you give Chance the second chance he deserves?
Other Pets at Humane Society of Cambria County
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chance, a Johnstown Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Johnstown, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Johnstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Johnstown 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 Johnstown 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Johnstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

The terrible calls of high school football: This was ruled pass interference AND a catch, you be the judge
On Bishop Amat's game-tying drive in the final minute of its 48-48 tie against Chino Hills, this play was ruled pass interference and a CATCH. The catch call was key because it gave Amat at first down at the 5. Clearly, it was not a catch.
Tom Kiss has every play recorded of Amat and Chino Hills' 48-48 tie. This is the first half, we'll post the second half later. It was such a great game, we want to share it all.
Girls Volleyball tonight, St. Lucy's @ Bonita, 5 pm
SUPER 35 RANKINGS: It's still Amat by a nose
1. Bishop Amat (1-0-1) — The Lancers avoided their first loss to an area team since 2002 by rallying in the final minute to tie No. 2 Chino Hills (48-48) in a game they could have won if they finished the Huskies off with an extra point or lost if not for some big pass interference calls. If you would have told Amat they would be undefeated after the first two weeks against Servite and Chino Hills they would've gladly taken it. I looks like the concern isn't the offense, it's Amat's pass defense.
2. Chino Hills (1-0-1) — To win big football games or to be competitive in big football games you need a big weapon and the Huskies have it in quarterback Matt Simko. He is this years Travis Santiago only he's more of a prototypical Division 1 recruit because of his size. The Huskies' outlook looks super and they traditionally take on the best with Tesoro visiting town this week.
3. Charter Oak (1-0) — The Chargers' defense lived up to its billing in a 35-0 shutout over Roosevelt, although it struggled offensively before finally putting the game away. They will get a much bigger test against Los Alamitos (1-0) at Veterans Stadium on Friday. Los Alamitos opened with a slim 29-16 win over Paramount so I'm already liking the Chargers' chances.
4. South Hills (2-0) — If you could give coach of the year awards after two weeks, Huskies first-year coach Albert Rodriguez probably takes it. He's already a win away from matching last year's win total, and he's improved the Huskies' most glaring weakness from 2011, defense, getting a 14-0 shutout over Bonita.
5. Ayala (2-0) – The biggest leap in the rankings goes to Ayala after a huge 16-15 non-league win over back-to-back Mid-Valley Division champ Monrovia. With Ayala and South Hills off to great starts, imagine what the Sierra League is going to be like week-to-week.
6. West Covina (0-2*) — There's trouble for the Kings of Cameron Ave. The Bulldogs did not look like themselves in a lopsided home loss to Loyola and may not have QB Jon Najera back for several weeks after an MRI revealed his knee injury is worse than coaches thought. But you know what cures all that? A win over their bitter rival South Hills at the District on Friday.
7. Damien (0-1) – The Spartans were not what we expected in a 31-14 loss to Orange Lutheran, but they have a chance to right the ship with Palm Desert, Temescal Canyon and Los Alamitos up next before starting the Sierra. If they lose any of those games, it should be a bigger concern than a loss to OLU.
8. San Dimas (2-0) — For a team that generally has started slow the past few years the Saints look like world beaters and serious Mid-Valley Division contenders. Their offense is piling up the points and their defense got much better in a 50-7 rout of Azusa. Can't wait for the annual Monrovia game in a couple weeks.
9. Diamond Ranch (2-0) – After years of starting 0-and-whatever scheduling Southland giants they weren't ready for, the Panthers are piling up wins the old fashioned way, scheduling more beatable teams and soaking in the confidence. I like this formula much better than the last.
10. Los Altos (2-0) – There should be no doubt now that coach Dale Ziola is a pretty good coach and a great find for Los Altos. After everything they lost from last years 8-3 team, many thought they would go back to 5-5 or 4-6. It sure doesn't look like.
The Rest: 11. Glendora (1-0), 12. Rowland (2-0), 13. Gladstone (1-0), 14. Mountain View (2-0), 15. El Monte (1-1), 16. Covina (2-0)* 17. Walnut (1-1), 18. Bonita (0-2), 19. Azusa (0-1), 20. Arroyo (1-1), 21. South El Monte (1-0), 22. Rosemead (0-1), 23. Claremont (0-2), 24. Baldwin Park (0-2), 25. La Puente (0-1), 26, Northview (1-1), 27. Diamond Bar (0-2), 28. (Duarte 1-1), 29. Workman (1-1), 30. Wilson (1-1), 31. Sierra Vista (0-1), 32. Bassett (1-1), 33. Nogales (0-1), 34. Pomona (0-2), 35. Ganesha (0-2)

San Dimas' Jake Payton isn't having just an incredible year, he has an incredible story
Brian Reed-Baiotto, Correspondent
One might think the road to becoming a high-profile running back at San Dimas High School might include a charmed path.
But for Saints junior Jake Payton, that road has seen more drama and heartache than many endure in a lifetime.
At the age of three, Payton was rescued from a substance-abused household by his grandmother, Martha Ferra.
Without the help of Jake's biological mother or father, she raised Payton and three of his siblings for the next 12 years. Along the way, Payton gave into temptation and participated in the lifestyle his grandmother tried to shield him from.
While attending Lone Hill Middle School, Payton met counselor Shara Lyons and, with her support, decided he was going to lead a different life.
Lyons and her husband Peter took an interest in Payton's life. When Payton's grandmother moved to Hesperia following the death of her son in an auto accident, the Lyons provided a home and structure for the now 16-year-old Payton.
Payton is drug-free, has his grade-point average above 3.3 and is the focal point of coach Bill Zernickow's football program. Most importantly, he is enjoying a productive and happy life.
"I made really bad decisions early on because of the environment I was in and my life was headed nowhere. But thanks to my grandma and the Lyons, I am now focused on all the things that matter," Payton said. "I know my grandma feels guilty she couldn't do it all by herself, but I want her to know she did more than enough and I'd never be in this position today without her love and guidance."
Payton has become a member of the family and has fit in with the Lyons' 15-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son.
"We've tried to provide Jake structure, and in return he's made my children happy and is a great role model for them," Shara Lyons said. "He's given us a new appreciation of life and how good we had things. He also showed us what a difference you can make in someone's life."
With an ideal home life, Payton is able to focus on his studies and being the best football player he can be.
The 5-foot-9, 175-pound junior rushed for 893 yards last season and had 14 touchdowns, while averaging just under 10 yards per carry. Not only will the team captain be the offensive focus, he also will spend time in the defensive backfield.
Payton's already been a key force for the 2-0 Saints, rushing for 166 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-36 win over Bonita, and rushing for 165 yards in an easy 50-7 win over Azusa.
"Jake has been through the worst in life and now has hopes and goals," Zernickow said. "He's tough, has a great feel for the game and is a complete back. He's also a great leader and his flash ability as a runner and vision separates him from a lot of running backs."
Payton and Zernickow like the Saints' chances of contending for another Valle Vista League championship and a deep run in the playoffs, thanks to the return of 14 starters and a solid team chemistry, which has been evident so far
"We're a much closer team this year, and I think each of us wants to make sure we don't let any of our teammates down so everyone works really hard every day," Payton said. "I would love to score 20 touchdowns and break the rushing record, but I really just care about helping our team win as many games as possible."
Payton has excelled in the first two weeks of the football season, but it's the direction of his life that has him most content.
"I, with the help of my grandma and the Lyons, enjoy life for the first time and spend my waking hours doing everything I can to make sure I don't let them down," Payton said. "I'm so lucky to have amazing people in my life who care about me, and I hope my story can serve as inspiration to other kids who might be on the wrong path, and that they, too, can change their lives for the better."
Servite's 24-23 win over Rancho Cucamonga gives Chino Hills and Bishop Amat a credibility bump
Bishop Amat's 40-23 season-opening win over Servite looks better on paper after Servite came-from-behind to beat Rancho Cucamonga, 24-23, Maxpreps' sixth-ranked team in the state. With Chino Hills stepping up and tying Bishop Amat 48-48 in a game it very well could have won, this bodes well for their Inland confidence and feeling they can play with anyone. They proved it.
Chino Hills and Bishop Amat are playing tough schedules that continue this week with Chino Hills hosting Pac-5s Tesoro (2-0) and Bishop Amat heading to La Mirada (2-0), which already has hammered St. Paul and La Habra. On paper Tesoro's an even bigger test than Amat, ranked fourth in the L.A. Times' Southern California rankings. I don't know what to make of La Mirada, I thought ranking them No. 1 over West Covina to open the Southeast Division rankings was a joke, but the joke's been on me so far. They're playing great ball and deserve No. 1 in the Southeast. You can check out Aram's All-Encompassing SGVN rankings out this morning, he's got La Mirada at No. 3.
The Tribune rankings come Monday and there will certainly be some turnover. It's quite clear the top three teams should be Bishop Amat, Chino Hills and Charter Oak, and though I'll probably leave Amat on top, you can make an argument Chino Hills deserves it too, or at least a 1 and 1A top two.
The next seven will be tough. How far do you drop West Covina and Damien after thorough beatdowns to upper division teams? How far do you move South Hills, San Dimas, Los Altos and Diamond Ranch up after an impressive two weeks? All things for you to consider on your lazy Sunday afternoon holiday weekend.

Australia–Indonesia Institute Chairman, Mr Phillip Flood AO |
The year 2001–2002 involved a wide range of activities through which the Australia–Indonesia Institute (AII) continued to build people-to-people links between Australia and Indonesia and promoted greater mutual understanding and tolerance. The Institute has sought to achieve a healthy balance between innovation and continuity in its activities over the year. In view of the ongoing significant changes to Indonesias political, economic and social environment, the Institutes work remained an important adjunct to the Australian Governments management of bilateral relations.
A major objective of the Institute has been to take an initiative to promote greater understanding of the role of Islam in Indonesia and to ensure a greater awareness in Indonesia of Islamic communities in Australia. The Board has approved a three-year program of Muslim Exchanges under which emerging Muslim leaders from both Australia and Indonesia will visit one anothers countries to meet Islamic leaders, but also other religious, ethnic and community groups. The first exchanges will take place in October this year. This will promote constructive interchange of ideas for better relations not only between Australia and Indonesia, but also between Muslims and non-Muslims in each country. This initiative was particularly welcomed by President Megawati and the Prime Minister Mr John Howard during Mr Howards visit to Indonesia in February.
Among the Institutes core activities the Youth and Education program continued to be the Institutes largest, accounting for around one-third of program funds in 2001–2002. The Institute supported another highly successful Australia Indonesia Youth Exchange Program (AIYEP) and produced a revised version of the Geografi Australia textbook. It also introduced the Herb Feith Scholarship for students to undertake a Masters program in Conflict Resolution Studies at Gadjah Mada University. The Board has continued to provide support to the Australian Alumni Association of Indonesia (IKAMA) to help develop its database and other tools for tracking membership.
Under its Arts and Sport program, the Institute supported initiatives promoting appreciation of the quality and diversity of the visual and performing arts in the two countries. Indonesian poets and film producers were sponsored to visit and demonstrate their work in Australia, and Australian artists were given the opportunity to teach and learn in Indonesia under the Asialink Arts Residences. A successful festival of Australian films was held in Jakarta. With respect to sport, the Institute funded a project to encourage participation in volleyball in Indonesia.
Media relations, Australian studies and the professions also received strong support from the Australia–Indonesia Institute. The Institute has maintained its program of Journalist Scholarships and continued the development of Australian studies resources online. Another particularly worthwhile project which also demonstrated the diversity of the AIIs work, involved support for HIV patient care in Bali.
In April 2002, the Institute held one of its tri-annual board meetings in Makassar, South Sulawesi. Makassar has long historic ties with Northern Australia and Board members received a warm and enthusiastic reception. The Board met the South Sulawesi Governor and other officials and helped launch the Makassar Branch of the Australian alumni association (IKAMA). In the past year, the Institute has funded a language reference centre in Makassar and student exchanges between schools in South Sulawesi and Australia.
During its visit to Indonesia the Board also travelled to Jakarta, meeting President Megawati Soekarnoputri, Ministers, officials, Australian alumni and civil society leaders. The Board was delighted with the high level of access it received. Interlocutors strongly supported the work of the Institute. The President welcomed the AIIs initiative to communicate the moderate nature of Indonesian Islam.
In 2001–2002 the Institute again received a large number of creative and innovative project proposals. One noteworthy example was the Australia–Indonesia Young Leaders Dialogue held in Bogor which was announced by the Prime Minister and attended by the Australian and Indonesian Foreign Ministers. Although the Institutes modest budget can fund only a small number of total applications received, the quality and diversity of proposals reflects the strong desire among many for friendly ties between the peoples of our two countries.
I am grateful for the support and advice we have continued to receive from other Government agencies. We have had a very productive relationship with the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and the Department of Education Science and Training (DEST) in particular and have been able to refer some proposals received to these and other agencies for assistance.
I began my term as Chairman on 25 November 2001 and I wish to pay tribute to the outstanding contribution of my predecessor Mr John Reid AO whose vast knowledge and long experience of Indonesia was of immense benefit to the Institute. During the year it was a pleasure to welcome Professor Virginia Hooker and Mr Robert Champion de Crespigny as new members of the Board. Both are respected figures in their fields who bring great knowledge and unique expertise to the Board. I wish to thank Professor Russell Trood for his invaluable contribution to the Board.
Finally, I note the valuable advice and administrative assistance that the Board has received from the Secretariat and the Cultural Counsellor in Jakarta. The Board especially appreciated the enthusiastic support and close involvement in many Institute activities of Ambassador Ric Smith in Jakarta.

« April 2008 Table of Contents
Seafood department catfish sales are flat, averaging $203 per week per store during the 52 weeks ending Dec. 29, 2007, unchanged from the same period in 2006. Conversely, weekly finfish sales were up 9.3 percent through Sept. 29, 2007, to $1,894 per store. Catfish represents 10.5 percent of finfish sales nationwide, and finfish is the second largest category in the seafood department behind shellfish, accounting for 34.9 percent of seafood department sales.
Across the country, catfish experienced above average sales during the first three months of the year and peaked the week of March 3, 2007, with average sales of $291 per store, up from $272 the previous year. Weekly catfish sales remained consistent throughout the rest of the year, approaching $200 per store. For the week of Dec. 29, average weekly sales reached an annual low of $141 per store, down from $144 the previous year.
The Central region had the highest average weekly catfish sales, with $296 per store, above the national average but down from $304 the previous year. The Central region also leads in catfish contribution to total seafood department sales, averaging 5.7 percent in 2007. But it was down 0.8 percentage points from the previous year.
As consumers purchase more seafood during Lent, it's no surprise that weekly catfish sales in all four regions peaked in March.
The fresh catfish supply is elevated at the beginning of the year following reduced demand through the holiday season; retailers capitalize on this by boosting sales in the spring. The week of March 3 saw the highest weekly catfish sales per store for both the South and West regions at $349 and $221, respectively. The week of March 10 saw the highest catfish sales per store for the Central region at $404, while sales in the East region hit $203 for the week of March 17. Compared to the previous year, sales in the Central region were down 16.4 percent, while the East, South and West regions were up 54.6 percent, 17.8 percent and 16 percent, respectively.

When good phone calls to the doctor, go bad.
We all have to call doctors at home sometimes, about our patients. Shoot, nowadays I have to do it about 3-4 times a night, on average.
Being a seasoned nurse now, it doesn't bother me much at all, to have to call. However, back when I first began my RN career, there were doctors that would make me shake and shudder in my NurseMates, just at the thought of having to call them. So, it was nice to occasionally have something to laugh about after making that two AM phone call.
One night, pretty late, I had to call a general practitioner about one of her partner's patients. I dialed her pager number, put in my number, hung up the phone, and waited. I waited about a half an hour, when I heard a phone ring... in a PATIENT'S room. "That's strange" I thought. "Those phones aren't supposed to ring this late." I went in the room, picked up the phone, and was like.... "..Hello??"
"Hello???" the voice on the other end said. It was the doctor that I had paged! I laughed, then told her what I needed.
Fortunately it was an EMPTY room. I could just imagine some poor, confused patient answering that phone, at two am!
Then there was the time that I had to page the orthopedist, about one of his patients. Now, this particular doctor had a reputation for being old and crotchety, grumpy on the phone... and he also had a reputation for being a drunk. Now, I certainly don't know whether this particular bit of information was actually true, but... well... I'll just NEVER know what was going on at the other end, this particular evening...
My patient had, in her words, "fallen on her fat butt", while attempting to get up and use her bedside commode on her own. I helped her back into bed, checked her for bruises or other markings.. she assured me that she had no new pain and did not feel like she had hurt herself further... and then I went to page her doctor, our dear orthopedist.
I paged him once, with no return call. I then paged him a second time, still with no reply. Third time, I tried calling his home phone. I dialed the number... his phone was ringing... it rang about five times, until I heard someone pick up. Silence, no "Hello?" or anything. "Hello, Dr So-and-So?" I said. More silence.. and then, this is what I heard:
"..BLLLAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" *click!*
Well..... since there was no emergency or anything, I simply filled out the incident report, charted that I was not able to reach the doctor, had a nice little chuckle, and went on. In retrospect, I guess maybe I should have had someone go to the doc's house and make sure that this person, WHOMEVER it was that actually answered the phone (for all I know, it was the doctor's drunken son, or somebody), was okay!
Whatever the case was... that doctor WASN'T taking any calls that night.About NurseCard

0Oct 27, '08 by mixxerthose doctors sure are funny.! haha! on your first story, if it's me, i might not answer the phone. scary....
n your second story, sad to say there are really some doctors like that. they don't realize that whne their patients are in the hospital, everything is a concern because everything should be documented even if it's just "a not so important thing".0Oct 28, '08 by StraydandelionSounds very familiar, I once had a doctor say "what would you do?" forgot off-hand exactly why I had called, but I "asked" him if we could possibly ....... he said between yawns "sounds good" and hung up. I wrote it as an order LOL.0Oct 29, '08 by bagladyrn GuideOne of my favorite late night doctor calls: I called the on call doc for OB patient (at this facility they had to come in to physically see the pt. before she could be sent home from a labor check). He lived on the compound around the hospital, maybe a 2 minute walk away. Forty-five minutes later he still had not come in and I was about to call him back when he came running in. Seems his wife awoke and found him sound asleep with the telephone receiver on his forehead, nudged him and said "Honey, do you need to be somewhere?"
Another doc, when I called him to come in, told his wife (also a doc at our facility) that he was going to (Baglady's) house. Her reply "That's nice dear, but I'm sure she'd rather see you at the hospital"! She was still chuckling about it when she told me in the morning.0Oct 29, '08 by txwolfincaliSpeaking of doctors with a reputation for drinking. One of my co-workers had to call this one particular doctor. She paged several times, then called his house. His wife answers and say, "Will if you can figure out which bar he is in." Well the nurse finally gets him to answer his cell phone and she said it definitely sound like a bar in the background. The sad thing about this situation is that he was covering the weekend for two other doctors. I've actually had to call one of the doctors that he was covering for on another occasion. His wife yelled at me that he was off this weekend. Well the doctor grabbed the phone from her. I explained that we had been trying for an hour and a half to contact the other doctor. He was very understanding and gave me the order I needed for his patient. It's sad that there are doctors out there like this.1Oct 29, '08 by ahsweeneyI had to call a MD once and was chewed out by him. It was only around 11:30pm which isn't too late by night shift standards. His patient was "circling the drain" and I was on my way to ICU with her. Figured I'd get some orders just to make the transfer official. He was furious that I had called. Seems his 2 toddlers were sick and had kept him awake. I had had probs with his attitude before and before I could think I blurted out that "calls are part of the territory for a surgeon. If you don't want to be called you should have gone into dermatology". Now, I don't recommend anyone doing that, but he ticked me off! He didn't talk to me for about 2 wks after - the silence was golden!!!adoyo likes this.

How to Prepare for a Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis
Prior to your procedure, your blood may be tested to determine how well your liver and kidneys are functioning and whether your blood clots normally.
Tell your doctor all medications that you are taking, including herbal supplements, and if you have any allergies, especially to local anesthetic medications, general anesthesia or to contrast materials (also known as "dye" or "X-ray dye"). Your doctor may advise you to stop taking aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or a blood thinner for a specified period of time before your procedure.
Also inform your doctor about recent illnesses or other medical conditions.
Women should always inform their doctor or X-ray technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant. Many imaging tests are not performed during pregnancy so as not to expose the fetus to radiation. If an X-ray is necessary, precautions will be taken to minimize radiation exposure to the baby.
You will receive specific instructions on how to prepare, including any changes that need to be made to your regular medication schedule. You may be asked to not eat or drink prior to your procedure. If so, you may not eat for eight hours before your exam; you may have clear liquids up until four hours before your procedure.
You will be admitted to the hospital on the morning of your procedure and be assessed by the interventional radiologist before the procedure begins.
Dialysis fistula or graft thrombolysis patients are generally discharged the same day; however, most other conditions require hospitalization for several days with careful monitoring.
You will be given a gown to wear during the procedure.

Matoaca eighth grader, Sadie Sandifer is a running machine. She was bitten by the running bug after completing her first 5K race as a second grader.
"I found this was something I was pretty good at, and I loved competing in races from the very beginning."
Sadie has recently completed her second Shamrock Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) in Virginia Beach, finishing first in her age group. She was 19th overall out of nearly 8,000 women who enter in the race. She will be running Monument Avenue next week with the hope of improving on last year's 3rd place finish in her age group. As a member of her school's highly successful track team, Sadie has set records in both the two-mile and one-mile runs. Her times of 12:23 and 5:53 rank with some of the fastest times ever run in Chesterfield.
This spring, Sadie has shifted gears from athlete to race organizer. The First Annual Chesdin Landing 5K for Charities is her brainchild.
"I got to thinking about the 5K races I have ran, the entry fees that I have paid; I began to wonder where the money goes," Sadie said. "I learned that a good deal of money is raised for charity."
Sadie explained that the first Chesdin race will benefit the Wounded Warrior Program.
"My dad works as a Physician's Assistant in the United States Army, saving lives on the battlefield," she said. "The Wounded Warrior Program assists soldiers who are facing difficulties returning to society due to injury."
Working with her mom, Sadie has been marketing the race throughout Chesterfield and Southside Virginia. She is hoping for a huge turnout. "The plan is to pick a different charity each year. I'm thinking about the Red Cross and the Matoaca Track Program as future recipients."
This year's race registration will be held at the Chesdin Landing Trophy Room on Saturday, May 12 . Race time is 9 a.m. The 5K course will be challenging, but fun, according to organizers.
All runners and walkers will receive a commemorative t-shirt. There will also be medals for age group and overall winners. Cost for participants is $25. Families of four or more can participate for $90. Additional donations are welcomed.
If you have any questions or need registration information, please contact Tammy Sandifer at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Police Chief Mike Chitwood said he doesn't encourage vigilante justice but said people have the right to protect themselves or their property. 'They're fed up with everything,' he said. 'People have to do what they have to do.'"
That is the Chief's take on this 64-year old, Daytona woman spotting a thief running through her yard, chasing him down, and holding him at gunpoint for arrest. "Stop right there (expletive), or you're going to be dead where you stand," she is quoted as telling the thief.
The other story making the rounds is out of New York, the state of Bernard Goetz, where the gun owning, law-abiding, otherwise harmless citizen is not as respected as where Chief Chitwood lives. Bernadette Greenwald faces prosecution for confronting a young man outside her home, threatening him with her pistol, and firing a "warning shot" into the air.
I am not condoning the threat of deadly force to stop either a fleeing car thief, or a shady, harassing, maybe-up-to-worse ne'er-do-well. I am saying this. As the culture breaks down, law-abiding, peaceful people will—justifiably–be more fearful, and some will react out of that fear to protect themselves, and their loved ones. The scenario may not call for a gun, or for deadly force, and their tactics may be judged as poorly-thought-out or even unlawful. But, as Chief Chitwood put it: People are fed up, and they have to do what they have to do.
Better advise your kids that pranking the neighbors in an age of home invasion robbery, teen gang beatings, and drug-fogged violence may get you killed even if you are just ringing the doorbell and running.

Your Pop Alternative Source
This story reveals Ketone Advanced to you. Ketone Advanced could be a much larger project than you might anticipate. That's how to avoid working with Ketone Advanced that way. I am stunned that this isn't the case. Of course, I'll bet you're probably wondering exactly what the heck I'm I'm talking about relevant to this. That will. I haven't put in some effort for Ketone Advanced. Clearly, Ketone Advanced involves putting effort into teaching others. I could have Ketone Advanced because you will be the one dealing with it after the fact. Ketone Advanced is highly regarded.

- Repeat these steps for all the bread slices. and set aside.
- Deep fry these rolls in the oil until they turn into golden brown color.
- I have used Brown Bread for first batch and they didn't come out good. Use the white bread for this recipe, as it will be little moist compare to Brown or Multi grain breads.
- If your white bread is not moist, sprinkle some water drops on the bread and roll it with rolling pin gently. (before putting the stuffing)
- You can add some more veggie like Shredded Carrot or Cauliflowers in this recipe. then adjust your cabbage measurement accordingly.
Take care and Enjoy the Long Weekend!

Rome Targa Snowboard Binding
Targas met everyone of my expectations and exceeded them.
I used to ride, Ride EX bindings on my board, my calfs used to get extremely soar after a day of riding (6 hours). Now with the "CANT" system I feel like I can ride all day long. I use the 3.5 degree inserts.
The "Cant" angle binding system is simple, but ingenious and helps with comfort and control. The Targas will give you agile and quick responses. I would strap them on to any board, for a rider that desires, quick and snappy responses. This binding is the Lamborghini or Ferrari of bindings.
Overall excellent bindings in performance, and aesthetics. I own the all white Targas and they look sweet on my gray board.
I ride my Targas on a Ride #4 board. My board is stiff snappy and all camber. I use my board as an all mountain beast.
I hope this review helps anyone who desires in my opinion the best all mountain bindings in performance, aesthetics, and comfort.

Add To My Plant List
Thuja occidentalis 'Sherwood Moss' foliage
(Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder)
Height: 3 feet
Spread: 4 feet
Hardiness Zone: 3a
Other Names: Eastern Arborvitae, American Arborvitae
A recently introduced dwarf evergreen shrub with very fine-textured juvenile foliage, forms a compact ball shape without pruning; ideal for home garden use and in rock gardens; hardy and adaptable, best with some sun, protect from drying winds
Ornamental Features:
Sherwood Moss White Cedar has green foliage. The ferny leaves remain green through the winter. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant.
Landscape Attributes:
Sherwood Moss White Cedar is a dense multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a more or less rounded form. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which should be used to full effect.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub. When pruning is necessary, it is recommended to only trim back the new growth of the current season, other than to remove any dieback. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Sherwood Moss White Cedar is recommended for the following landscape applications;
Plant Characteristics:
Sherwood Moss White Cedar will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.
This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder zones.
This is a selection of a native North American species.

Last month, Melbourne was graced by a special exhibition from Herman MillerTHEN X TEN: The Power of the Poster at fortyfive downstairs gallery space in Melbourne. "Simply designed to communicate a message, posters are all too frequently the tools of advertisers. But under the direction of a keen eye and talented hands, posters have the power to spark action, elicit emotion, and join the ranks of art."
Unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to see the show in person: the celebration of the print format, featuring classic posters from the Herman Miller archives alongside ten newly commissioned works, was only on view from August 14–25.
Thankfully, our friends in Zeeland and Australia HQ Sydney have documented the exhibition quite thoroughly, with photos from the opening, including Creative Director (and Curator) Steve Frykholm's talk at RMIT, and a few installation shots, as well as images of the work.
Steve Frykholm (1986)
Kam Tang, whose work is pictured above, writes: "A departure from the padding of traditional office chairs, Aeron's Pellicle material was like a new dawn; I wanted to capture that in my design by taking the chair out of the office and transforming it into a landscape." Check out additional artist statements here.

What Exactly Is The Georgia Blackout?
By Erie's Scribe on Nov 07, 2007 with Comments 2
The official garb of blacked out Georgia revelers at Saturday's game
This Saturday, Auburn will be facing an army of blacked out Georgia Bulldog fans. What a brilliant idea! Who would want to walk into a stadium full of blacked out fans whose blacked out anger is directed at you (I've seen it first hand, blackout anger never ends well)? Is the school sponsoring this blacking out? Does the administration know what the student body considers a blackout? I'm assuming this is the product of a Georgia blackout. Maybe these ladies will be blacked out this weekend?
What's not to love about this idea (unless you are a parent of a current University of Georgia student)? I've always liked the Bulldogs, but this! Yeah, it's a copy off of Penn State, but I've never met anyone in Happy Valley who was opposed to a good, old-fashioned blackout. There's a reason they call it Happy Valley.
Good luck on Saturday, Auburn, I can't say I like your odds. Cheers to you, 'Dawgs fans, The Legend is tipping one back in your general direction this weekend.

About the Author: I am a Cleveland sports and Buffalo Sabres fanatic. I'm currently living in Erie, but even when I'm not there, Erie runs deep in me. I'm an ex multi-sport goalie, and we goalies tend to see things a bit differently. I went to college with Cecilio's Scribe and I am also a Big Red afficiando. Otherwise my college sports loyalties are all over the place. I try to keep my posts light, but I'm a Cleveland fan so the occassional rant is possible (inevitable?).
Comments (2)
Not a huge Georgia fan, but who can argue with a nice black-out. What a coincidence that I will also be blacking out on Saturday. Go 'Dawgs, or at least the fans.
I hear you skins fan. Maybe we could push for a national black-out on Saturday? I'm game.

BREATHEcast.com After several months of the megachurch Pastor Zachery Tims' mysterious death, his ex-wife, Riva Tims is finally speaking up about the events that led up to her late husband's death and the difficulty she experienced that led up to her late husband's death and the difficulty she experienced that led to the end of their marriage. Meeting at a local church at age 22 and marrying, the couple had a love for each other and even deeper love to serve God and win souls. Shortly after their marriage, they were eager to begin their ministry.
"So we labeled ourselves as an outreach ministry. So, our whole goal was to pull people in from the streets, not to pull them from other churches but really to get those that were unsaved," she said in an interview with CBN. "I think the people felt our love, they felt our sincerity and we were young. We had a lot of zeal for the Lord, a lot of excitement." Quickly growing their church from 5 to 8,000, along with an attendance boost came a heightened level of celebrity with the church community. This began to take a tole on the couple. "There was somewhat of a distance that began to take place.
I could still connect, but I knew that there was something different." She realized something was wrong with Zachery began to travel a lot and prevented her from traveling with him. "It was always a reason why I couldn't go. That's when I knew." Her suspicions were affirmed when Zachery's affairs were uncovered. She was hurt by the affair but more so by his reaction to them. When asked about his level of remorse, she said "In the beginning he was remorseful he got caught and that's the part that hurt.
There was no running after me, coming after me. He was trying to keep everything together." "My heart hurt, not just in spiritual way, not just in an emotional way but in a physical way and I didn't realize that people hurt that badly. But the Lord told me to hold my peace. That was the hardest thing you could ever do." Wanting to pursue counseling, Zachery was reluctant to sit down from ministry and she believes he returned prematurely when resuming his role after just three months.
According to Riva, well meaning members urged him to come back too soon, telling him they didn't care what he did, becoming "enablers" to him. This too helped to prevent their marriage and family from healing. In addition to this, the leaders of their church began to turn against her. "Actually I was just kind of, you know, booted out, so to speak, and asked not to come back. It was like, if they see you, they won't heal, I was told. So just stay away." Subsequently, Zachery began to confess to her more about the affairs. Looking for help in high profile pastors, she was again disappointed.
"They didn't want to hear it or if they did hear it, they would say with that, get over it. It happened to me. You gotta think about the church. You gotta think about the ministry and my mindset was it first starts at home. You know, your relationship with God starts at home first before you can go out and minister…" Their marriage eventually ended in divorce, she felt abandoned at times, by her husband, the church, and even God. She wondered what she had done to be so rejected and blamed for everything that was happening. She was in a state of brokenness.
Despite the difficulties she was experiencing, in her state of brokenness, she was able to see the love of God differently. "I just began to see God in a whole new light. I realized He never left me, He was holding me, He was guiding me, He was instructing me, although I couldn't hear Him clearly. His love never stopped." With the realization of God's love and faithfulness towards her, she was able to authentically forgive her husband. "Many occasions I thought I forgave. It wasn't until I was just sitting in a room and I said I hate him! I hate him! And I would just scream it out and I thought, where did that come from?
I thought I forgave him. But it was still rooted deeply. "And it was bitterness. It was resentfulness because I felt, you ruined my life. I felt, you took everything away because you – of what you did." "It wasn't until I began to pray for him, for real – and when I began to pray for him I began to get compassion. I began to see the root of his struggles. I began to feel sorry for him. I began to feel love for him. Then and only then, forgiveness came."
Spending time in prayer for Zachery, she says the Lord revealed ugly things inside of her as well. "I began to take a look inside and I didn't like what I found… like self righteousness, lust in my own self, just wanting to be accepted by men and not God. So he began to shine the light on the filthiness in me." "Again, I was going through something. God was purging things out of me when I thought He should have just been dealing with my husband. But He said no, there are things in you that also need to be rectified and done better. And thank God I listened."
Concentrating on her family and cultivating her ministry, she was able to move forward and experience healing from the Lord. Before Zachery's passing they were able to reconcile. They were able to spend time together on a family trip to Puerto Rico. "He came to me and he said 'I'm sorry' and then he ended up telling his church at a marriage seminar that 'I believe my wife would have still been with me and our family would have been okay if I would have listened to better counsel and ran after and fought for my family instead of running and fighting for the church.' "
Today, Riva is the pastor of Majestic Life Church where one of her mottoes is "no celebrity pastors…its all about God." She recently wrote a book entitled "When It All Falls Apart," a book about how God can heal those who suffered heart break and betrayal. "His blood can cover anything, no matter how dirty, no matter how nasty, no matter how horrible. It will cover but you have to make a decision that you're going to repent and not continue [it] as a lifestyle. God's grace covers but when you go through a situation, when you find yourself in a trial or tribulation, understand that God's love and mercy is amazing.

The Land, Housing, and Urban Development Ministry and the National Land Commission have begun investigations into the manner in which the bulk of City Park was allocated to private developers.
The allocations, which were made between 1997 and this year, are a threat to a plan by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture to rehabilitate and improve the park, one of Nairobi's oldest and largest recreational areas.
It is also the only park within the capital city's boundaries that has an indigenous forest, which is to form the largest part of it and is to be preserved in its pure form.
Officials from the trust told the Lands Committee of the National Assembly on September 4 that the restoration of the park could now depend on whether the commission and the ministry will reverse the allocations.
They spoke after making a presentation of their plans to restore and improve the park, a concept hailed by members of the team as impressive and worth implementing.
"This is a very impressive plan and it is our prayer that it will become a reality," said Moses ole Sakuda (Kajiado West, TNA). MPs Shakila Abdalla (Lamu County, Wiper) and Paul Otuoma (Funyula, ODM) were also in agreement.
From the presentation by Jurjen van der Tas, the deputy director in the Historic Cities Programme, the park was originally 90.25 hectares at its creation in 1932. With a large portion of indigenous forest bordering Karura Forest, the park proved to be an ideal recreational area for Nairobi residents.
The designers, keen to go beyond creating just a bulk of green on the fringes of the city, went ahead to create a maze — known in those days as "Mtego wa Panya" — put in a bandstand, and designed a sitting area where, in the park's better days, families would gather on sunny Sunday afternoon for entertainment.
Although now overgrown with weeds and grass, Francesco Siravo, a senior project officer at the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, said the landscaping is still good and would be spruced up during the planned rehabilitation.
The park's 90 acres shrunk to 66.19 hectares when the northern and the southern tips were hived off and allocated in 1997. These areas are now occupied by a mall and the City Park hockey pitch.
Officials from the trust have found out that more areas of the park have been allocated and that there is now only about 19.45 hectares available.
"If the 19 hectares are all that is there, we will walk out," Mr van der Tas told the committee.
However, he said the latest allocations were reversible as the developers are yet to start utilising the land.
Confusion has also arisen over the manner in which the land was given out.
When the Lands Committee visited the park on an inspection tour, the Nairobi County's chief valuer told them that the title deed for the land was in the possession of the commissioner of lands.
However, there is no longer a commissioner of lands as his role has been taken over by the National Land Commission.
And even then, the commissioner does not keep titles as his office usually has a copy of the document.
Mr Otuoma said the committee was of the understanding that the land was acquired by the Housing Ministry, now under the Lands docket, and that the title deed is held by the Treasury on their behalf.
He said the trust was much more aware of the issues around the land than its owners, the Nairobi county government, as it had been on the ground preparing for the rehabilitation before the issues arose.
Mr van der Tas said they had found out about the allocation of the land as they prepared to start implementing the project for which the trust is providing technical and financial support and expertise.
He said they have held meetings with the National Land Commission and the governor of Nairobi in a bid to resolve the issues before the project can start.
"The National Land Commission believes that most of the title deeds were allocated through an illegal process," the deputy director said.
The project was initially slated to start in September but has been held back by the land issues and a delay in getting a building permit from the county government.
The National Environment Management Authority also wants a public hearing held before the environmental impact assessment licence can be issued.
In the planned rehabilitation, the 60-hectare park situated in Parklands is to be transformed under a programme run by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, which last year signed a memorandum of understanding with the government.
The agreement was reached after negotiations over two years on the possibility of returning the facility to its original use.
This means that the trust will collaborate in the rehabilitation and restoration of the park to international standards in terms of architecture, landscaping, and horticulture.
"The agreement marks the initial steps to give the park a metropolitan face, which will enhance its appeal to Kenyans as well as visiting global citizens," said Prince Hussain Aga Khan at the time.
"It is an important step towards ensuring that the historical and cultural heritage, as well as the significant biodiversity of Nairobi City Park, are conserved now and for generations to come."
The project, estimated to cost about Sh2 billion, will create an example of urban park rehabilitation in Kenya and restore it in such a way that it complements the existing environmentally important areas, besides becoming an attraction of repute.
The agreement anticipates a partnership through environmental improvements, landscape architectural conservation, and enhancing or creating new facilities.
These activities will improve the quality of the site, making the environment safe for visitors to the park while respecting its natural and cultural heritage.
The renovations will involve reconstruction of some of the disused facilities such as the bandstand, grooming of the maze, and planting of more indigenous trees to improve shade, besides providing security lighting.
When the recreational facility is completed, it will become the third such project the trust has carried out on the continent.
In 1984, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture financed the creation of the Azhar Park for the residents of Cairo, Egypt, at the rundown Darassa site in the central part of the city.
The place had been a derelict debris pit for more than 500 years, since the reign of the Fatmids, the ancestors of the Aga Khan.
Specialised plant nurseries were created to identify the best plants and trees for the soil, terrain, and climate.
The $30 million project is now said to rival Egypt's famous pyramids as a tourist attraction.
The trust also helped to elevate the National Park of Mali in 2010, where a forest had been threatened with extinction from loggers.
These days, the Malian Park is protected although the public can still enjoy it as before.
