As this was our first time to Florence this tour was a wonderful way to acclimatize ouselves to the city. The guide was excellent, knowledgeable and this tour was well worth it.
Excellent introduction to the city.
Our family of four, two adults and two teenagers, was lucky enough to have our guide, Angelo Alterio, to ourselves and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Florence with him. He did a fantastic job of judging just how much and what sort of information would interest all of us and made us feel right at home in his home city. No question was too trivial and we really felt we had a great insight into Florence's past and present. The restaurant he recommended was fantastic. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Angelo's tour to anyone.
Excellent tour
Our guide, Antonio, was funny. We enjoyed learning about the history of many of the famous buildings. He also gave us a good recommendation for gelato.
I really enjoyed this. The guide was excellent. It was a good thing to do on our first day in Florence because it gave us an overview of the city. Read your Medici history before you go and you will get a lot out of this walking tour!
A great way to start your visit to Florence. The guide was excellent.
This was one of the best parts of our trip. The guide was very knowledgeable, providing interesting tidbits of information, history and stories as we walked around. I would do it again the next time in Florence!
An excellent guide and well-paced walk to all of the major sites in historic Florence made this a perfect walking tour for all ages .
Guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the sights and sites of Florence. We had the god fortune of having very small group (just 2 of us for most of the time) and so had a very personal tour. Guide did not rush, spoke excellent English and allowed plenty of time for conversation and questions. A map of our route and the features we saw would have been helpful being newcomers to Florence. Would strongly recommend this tour, early in your visit as it is helps to orientate the visitor to the key attractions.
Best tour of Florence!
Guide was very good her ability to convey her knowledge was great!

This is the only way to start a visit to Florence. The guide was very entertaining and knowledgable and because we were only a small group of 4, took us to a few spots which weren't on the standard tour. A very enjoyable morning and a good way to get your bearings of the city.
Great! Tour guide was so nice & very informative!
Carleen S
A great way to be introduced to a beautiful city so rich in history and culture. It is a wonderful way to learn interesting details and unknown tidbits that about all the beautiful sights that are everywhere you look

Organizing For Action And Mayors Against Illegal Guns To Hold "We Have Not Forgotten And Demand Action" Community Events Across The Country
Americans Standing Up to Call on Congress to Pass Common Sense Measures to Reduce Gun Violence like Expanded Background Checks
CHICAGO and NEW YORK, April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- This Friday, April 12 th and Saturday, April 13 th, Americans across the country will join together at "We Have Not Forgotten and Demand Action" community events to call on members of Congress to support gun violence prevention measures like the bipartisan legislation introduced by Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey and West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin to require background checks for commercial gun sales. The American people have made it clear where they stand – they want a response to the tragedies caused by gun violence and want Congress to keep guns out of dangerous hands. With 92% of Americans already supporting commonsense measures like background checks for all gun sales, it's time Congress stands with those Americans instead of the gun lobby to support reforms that will save lives and protect our communities.
"We Have Not Forgotten and Demand Action" events will feature community leaders as they stand up to ensure that Congress hears the steadfast calls of the American people for sensible solutions to gun violence. It's time for Congress to act now, stop the political games and move forward meaningful steps to protect our communities and our children. There have been too many families torn apart by gun violence – it is time to show that we can both support the Second Amendment and make sure dangerous people aren't able to purchase a gun.

Ancient vs. Modern Fruits and Vegetables
Posted By Mark Sisson On December 1, 2010 @ 9:23 am In Health | 53 Comments
In case you're still a little wary of humans messing around with food, I thought I'd show how some of your favorite fruits and vegetables are actually the products of selective, targeted breeding. What, you thought every non-explicitly hybridized fruit and vegetable can trace a pure lineage back to the Paleolithic? Ha! The stuff we enjoy, even the heirloom, dirt-and-mud-encrusted ugly, but delicious, stuff we get from the farmers' market, is different from what Grok [7] enjoyed. Plants reproduce far more often than, say, humans, so evolution happens faster. We've got a dog in the fight, too, and the means to influence its outcome (hybridization, breeding, selection), so changes happen even quicker.
This will either spur your acceptance of broccolini [8] or turn you into a raging zero-carber [9] who shuns all vegetation. Your choice.
Almond fruits are drupes [10], and delicious ones at that. Packed with magnesium, monounsaturated fat [11], and full-spectrum vitamin E, a handful of almonds makes a good snack – but it wasn't always like that. Wild almonds contain high levels of amygdalin, a potent glycoside that the body metabolizes into hydrogen cyanide. An alternative cancer treatment called laetrile, or "vitamin B17," used amygdalin as the active ingredient, and patients who've taken it often suffer cyanide poisoning [12]. Luckily, early farmers discovered a common genetic mutation that prevented wild almonds from producing amygdalin. Wild almonds with the mutation left no progeny, since birds would just eat all the delicious, non-toxic fruit, but humans were able to exercise self-control and save enough almonds to plant entire orchards of these mutants [13].
Wild almonds taste terrible, horribly astringent and bitter. There's no getting around that taste, making their consumption impossible. In this case, we can use taste as an indicator of suitability for consumption. Domesticated almonds are sweet, full of valuable nutrients, and perfectly non-toxic. Eat away [14].
Modern domesticated apples (also known as Malus domestica, doctor repellant, or bags of sugar [15]) can trace the bulk of their ancestry to the Malus sieversii, or Asian wild apple, which grows in China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. What about wild crabapples, those sour, small European fruits? Until recently, Malus sylvestris, the European wild crabapple, was assumed to be completely separate, contributing little, if any, genetic input to modern domestic apples. New research shows a number of identical chloroblast haplotypes shared by both species, indicating that the crabapple played a much larger role in the development of the domestic apple [16]; in the same study, only one of the Malus sieversii trees displayed one of the three primary haplotypes shared by the domestic apple and European crabapple. "This study hereby reopens the exciting discussion on the origin of M. domestica."
M. sieversii is sweet, while M. sylvestris is bitter and sour. M. sylvestris is incredibly high in both vitamin C and pectin, a kind of prebiotic soluble fiber [17] that doubles as a gelling agent, and it was used to make jelly (mixed with other, sweeter fruits) and strong cider. Phenolic content and free radical scavenging potential of ancestral apples were greater, as a recent comparison of domestics to M. sieversii showed [18]. Still, domestics ranked decently in phenolic content and antioxidant potential, with Granny Smith leading the way and beating out over a third of the wild apples studied.
We shun this grain [19], but it's the perfect example of a hybrid food and bears mentioning. The wild ancestor of corn, or maize, is Balsas teosinte, a large grass of the Zea genus native to Latin America. It was domesticated at least 8,700 years ago [20] in southern Mexico, but possibly even earlier. Both Balsas teosinte and corn share similarly robust growth patterns (tall, impressive plants), but the "ears" are different. Each teosinte kernel is encased in a separate "stony casing" that can easily survive the digestive tracks of birds and mammals (and that counts us in); teosinte ear has five to twelve kernels. Teosinte kernels are distributed separately and easily for efficient promulgation. Ears of corn, on the other hand, carry up to 500 naked kernels, all exposed and bound together to the cob, which animals can readily identify, consume, and digest. Left to its own devices, corn cannot spawn progeny because the hundreds of seeds all compete for the same soil territory and nutrients. It needs human intervention to grow, making it the quintessential artificially selected grain-that's-eaten-young-and-treated-like-a-vegetable.
You don't think ancient Romans were harvesting beefsteaks and making vats of marinara sauce, do you? The tomato [21], or Solanum lycopersicon, can be traced back to what's now the Peruvian Andes, still the area with the greatest diversity of wild tomato relatives and where it began as an herbaceous plant with tiny green fruits. By the time the Spanish arrived, the tomato was cultivated across Central America, and it quickly gained favor in Europe upon its introduction. Early wild tomatoes were probably mostly inedible or unappetizing, since virtually no mention of the fruit appears in Andean pre-Columbian art or writing, whereas the fruit played a huge role in Mesoamerica (the Aztecs write of an early incarnation of salsa, for example), where domestication began in earnest.
Domesticated tomato varieties number in the thousands, and they aren't products of natural selection. Even those odd shaped heirlooms you pick up at the farmers' market have mutants in their bloodline (somewhere); ancient Quechua weren't picking Brandywines in the jungle. Modern hybrids, bred to be late bloomers who ripen in or immediately after transit, are admittedly unimpressive when compared to open-pollinated heirlooms, but they make a decent sauce.
There's the tendency to accept and condone those early gene manipulators, maybe because they wore tunics rather than lab coats, or maybe because their products have been with us for millennia without any obvious problems arising. Those are fair points (I love a good burlap tunic and wish they were still fashionable), but it's important to note that the inherently human drive of mankind to improve its situation – constantly, always, every minute of every day – makes hybrid and artificially selected fruits and vegetables as natural a progression as tool-making. It doesn't negate or contradict nature's processes. It's all just a tool to make life easier and, in this case, food tastier, more dependable, hardier, and possibly more nutritious. It's about striking a balance. I'd love it if we had access to all the wild cultivars that Grok knew and fed upon, but even if we could, there's a good chance they'd be unpalatable or even toxic. Does this mean grains [22] and legumes [23] are perfectly fine since they're products of human manipulation? No, but the fact that we bred them isn't the problem. It's the demonstrably pervasive and deleterious anti-nutrients present in even the most modified of the grains (extra gluten [24], anyone?) that we avoid.

We were absolutely delighted to be invited by Marina Guergova, founder of the contemporary label Marina London, for a sneak preview of her latest collection and an insight into her personal jewellery style.
All our clothes are made from 100% silk. The style is contemporary but inspired by the floaty silhouettes of the 1970's. The idea behind Marina is it's an effortless brand to wear. You can mix it up with your wardrobe and chuck on some really fab jewellery to create personality to your style.
I'm a 'gold' girl and I love bright gemstones. I wear loads of big rings and earrings. I don't wear bracelets because they stop the line of the arm. I like an empty arm with weighty rings at the bottom. I'm obsessed with doing my nails and have been since I was 15. My hands in general are the focal point.
Funnily enough my mum doesn't wear any jewellery, not even her wedding ring and my Grandma only ever wears pearls. My passion for jewellery is a new thing. I have had to develop my style myself because I haven't been inspired by anyone. I do look at women I admire like Diane Keaton and Charlotte Rampling. My dad loves jewellery though and he likes jewellery on a woman so he brings it back from all over the world.
Moxham, who's pieces I used for my latest look book. Daniella Draper who is a friend of mine and makes beautiful simple silver pieces. LeiVanKash stuff is really funky. I would make an exception to wear one of her skull bracelets. RP Encore and Dominic Jones as well.
I love Moxham's aesthetic. I thought we could collaborate in a really great way. Her jewellery is so prominent so works really well with the simplicity of my designs.
A beautiful ring my dad bought me back from Bali. When you look close-up there are so many intricate details.
Maria Francesca Pepe letter rings in gold.
Mix masculine with feminine and heavy jewellery with light weight silk.

Hey, I'll say something positive:
Two days ago, Andrew Breitbart was the worst kind of racist.
Now, he's the best kind of racist: the dead kind.
Kudos to him for finally, at the age of 43, making the kind of personal transformation that makes the world a better place, literally overnight.

Our view: Funding inaction
Saturday, January 19, 2008
Local politicians are afraid.
The hovering specter of an energy bust is driving them into hiding our tax money.
The city and county are stockpiling millions of dollars for when the energy companies leave. County officials say they have to, that 30 big companies make up 80 percent of the tax revenue, and if one left, we would need a large reserve to keep Moffat County afloat.
We say things change. Just like Wal-Mart, Walgreens and Sonic coming to town, other businesses will, too.
But not without investment.
The city and county should invest at least some of their reserves back into the local economy.
The city should be annexing property and building infrastructure such as roads and utilities.
Late last year, a hotel developer said he wanted to build an apartment complex in Craig. Problem was, the city had not developed any land with road access and utilities for would-be developers to jump on.
Because of the city's slow-motion approach, it proved too expensive for this developer to build apartments. Considering the labor and housing shortage currently capping economic growth, that's a big problem.
The county, also indulging in a slow-motion pace, is working toward a 40-percent reserve, meaning it is taking nearly half its expenditure budget out of public projects and storing the money in private banks.
This editorial board does not condemn balancing the budget, but it goes both ways. Overspending can be just as deadly to a community as under-spending.
It's gut-check time.
Our ranching and agriculture history is something this community - and this board - will not forget.
However, a look at the industries with the largest payrolls makes it hard to see Craig and Moffat County just as a ranching and agriculture community.
Energy companies and - despite our conservative local politicians - government are the largest employers.
In some ways, this is great, and great in ways other parts of the country would be jealous about. Although free trade agreements are sending other communities' blue-collar jobs overseas, the local middle class is thriving thanks in large part to high-paying jobs at the coal mines.
Most people around town probably don't want high-paying, blue-collar jobs to disappear, and that makes this decision time.
The arrivals of Wal-Mart, Walgreens and Sonic mean Craig is entering something of a revolution in industry.
It might be time for this community to decide if it wants to jump in with both feet, or, as one member of this board said, if we do what we've always done, we're going to get what we already have.
Don't think we're attacking ranchers and farmers. We believe it is important for those groups to be successful.
But ask yourself if you're satisfied with the clothing stores around Craig or the restaurants. Or the choices you have for buying televisions and DVD players.
Growth benefits everyone. Competition benefits consumers, and bringing more people in the area opens up markets for business.
For the community to jump in with both feet, residents have little to do. In fact, they already did a lot when they passed the Moffat County School District and The Memorial Hospital tax bonds last November.
If the community wants growth and new business, it needs to make sure its government is on board.
Or find a new one.
It takes money to make money, and even if the county saves $30 million during the next 10 years, that's only going to allow us to limp along for another few if the bust comes. It's going to leave us wishing for another easy solution, like the current energy boom.
This board thinks wishing for another energy boom is more deluded than thinking the current one will last forever.
If our government does not invest in this community, and try to bring in new industries and try to expand the industries we already have, then our government is setting this community up for a big fall.
In short, without investment, our government is preparing this community to fail.
The cold truth of transition periods is they usually leave some people behind.
The community has a decision to make. We can all be left behind and reelect the same ideas and get what we got.
Or, we can leave those ideas behind.

I totally do not agree with this. I praise our government for stashing bucks....we've been down this road before, a bust, and it wasn't pleasant.
You can have all the clothing stores you want in town but when the high paying energy development jobs leave who will have the money to buy the clothes? What we will have are just a bunch of empty buildings......seen that before too.....crash of 86 I believe it was.
Hats off to our Commissions for "remembering". Every house in town was a HUD home. The US Dollar is collapsing at record speed and being prudent right now is the right thing to do.

Creating a PHP Library - Properly linking folders
I've got a project I'm working on which requires some code that is going to end up being very reusable. In order to get the most value out of my code, I want to store it 100% separate from my project.
The library itself is basically two classes + some images. How can I set things up so that in any other project, I can do something like
require '../libs/mylib/mylib.php'
and everything will fall into place? This also includes using those images. Right now, in the library, I simply say "images/image.png". The problem: That path is relative to the file that included the library, not the library. I want to store the images as part of the library.

use require_once(""); or include_once(""); ?
I guess you could use absolute links like "http://example.net/libs/mylib/mylib.php"
But what you've said
if I've understood your question, i can't see you having a problem?require_once ("../libs/mylib/mylib.php")
That would work if I only wanted to use the library in one place or on one server. I'm having trouble because I want to be able to use this code anywhere on any different server without having to change much more than a configuration path or something.
Note that the include of mylib.php can change. However, mylib.php includes several other files that are part of the library. Because those paths are relative to the file that included mylib.php, it will often be wrong. For example, if I put a demo.php file in the mylib directory and then also try to use the library from a different folder, it won't work in both cases.

Salmon with pungent pink peppercorns and ginger with a flavorful cream sauce.
- 1Combine 1 cup red wine, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, and 4 tablespoons chopped shallots in a small nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until syrupy.
- 2Separately, boil 3/4 cup heavy cream until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir the cream into the wine mixture and cook together for several minutes, until lightly thickened.
- 3Firmly press 4 teaspoons each crushed pink peppercorns and minced ginger into the flesh side of 4 salmon fillets and sprinkle with kosher salt to taste. Cook the salmon in clarified butter, flesh-side down, over medium-high heat until browned, about 4 minutes; turn over and cook until barely cooked through, about 4 minutes more. Keep warm.
- 4Reheat the sauce, whisk in 4 tablespoons butter, and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Spoon the sauce over the salmon and serve.

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 Katie!
Facts about Katie
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Katie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Katie was abandoned in a house with her 4 babies. When they arrived at Orange County Animal Services, she was emaciated. Katie is very quiet and very sweet. She will do without to make sure her babies are fed. She loves to play with other dogs especially her best friend Candy and gets excited when she sees people.
Other Pets at Faith, Hope and Love Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Katie, a Titusville American Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever for sale in Titusville, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Titusville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Titusville 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 Titusville 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 American Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Titusville paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Queue: Why it's not time for a warlock tank {WoW}
Apr 3rd 2012 12:30PM While you must always remember that you are playing in the past, Blizz has already implemented an answer to this problem in the past. During WotLK, if you had completed the Wrathgate chain, all of the way through Siege of Undercity, and you were a Horde player, when you entered the throne room, Varimathras was no longer present. However, if you had not completed the Siege of Undercity, Varimathras was still present for your character.
This could be a very handy trick for the Garrosh problem, though it might cause some issues with groups trying to defend the Warchief from a "For the Alliance" run, as people who had not yet completed up to Garrosh's fall from grace may not be able to see the people attacking the new warchief if the throne room is completely phased.
The Queue: Suffer for fashion {WoW}
Mar 31st 2012 1:13PM @razion
Your logic is slightly flawed there. There was itemized tank plate gear for a good while before Death Knights came on the scene, which meant itemized plate tank gear for only two specs.
I would say that makes it very possible (however not likely) that Brewmasters and Guardian Druids could very well get leather tanking gear.
Drama Mamas: The mystery behind guildchat silence {WoW}
Mar 26th 2012 12:36PM My first thought after reading Robin's advice was "Robin, shy? No way!"
However, that aside, my own personal experience is that a guild's focus usually dictates communication style. Guilds focused mainly on raiding tend to mostly limit chatter to raid issues/subjects and tend to eschew common niceties such as greetings and farewells, while leveling and social guilds tend to be much more, well, social.
However, that's just my personal experience, and your mileage may vary.

Jan 11th 2012 11:21AM There is an addon called NazScrooge that will do something similar. It creates a personal "lockbox" that you can send a portion of gold to. The gold sent to your lockbox becomes inaccessible without using the addon's commands to withdraw the gold.
I found it very handy when I was leveling new toons to help save up for the different riding skills and mounts whenever I rolled on a new server and didn't gave my bank alt's mass wealth to bankroll everything.

These fantastic photos are part of a series by Spanish photographer Jon Uriarte that captures men wearing ladies clothing. What makes this series extra interesting is that these men are actually modelling their girlfriend's wardrobes. This humorous series is filled with hairy legs, heels and stockings.
Uriarte calls this series 'The Men Under the Influence,' which seems appropriate. Uriarte got this incredible idea after talking with some male friends about relationships and how they've changed over the decades. This series will definitely have viewers wondering who really wears the pants in these relationships.
Some of these men are sporting cute summer dresses and wedges, while others are rocking tight jeans and vibrant tops. These men look rather unenthusiastic about their attire. I think viewers can all agree that these looks would be better on their girlfriends.

I'd like to be able to make an iso of a complete install including my
own software and data for csound, with the aim being a back up for gigs
should something go wrong. So ideally this would:- detect any likely sound card properly
- ditto for midi
- have a low latency kernel
- have jack & some other misc alsa stuff
- create a reasonably sized ram disk in case I need to make some last
minute adjustments at the show.I'd like to have the ability to quickly make a new version before each
show, so I want to be able to easily drop in some of my custom gig
software, along with csound5 plus my data and samples, and burn the cd.
Csound should be able to either use data files burnt on the cd, or
stored on the ramdisk in case adjustments were needed.There seem to be plethora of live cd options. Can anyone suggest the
best course for the above? I normally use gentoo, but for the gig cd I
don't really care what it is as long as it's fast and clean and easy to
make. ( Ie a quick task that is done in a half hour before a show as a
back up. ) I don't even need xwindows really, just booting into runlevel
3 is fine, so if the live cd or utility allows that customization that
would be cool too. Being able to run a small LAN or vncserver would be
slick as well so that multiple machines can share the same monitor.Thanks

I have a Dracaema plant that's about six feet tall. It's been growing very well for the last few years. Just recently I noticed that the lower leaves on one of the sub-trunks (don't know the correct term) are curling, then turning yellow. I've pulled off several lower leaves. As soon as I pull one, another starts to curl and then turn yellow. I've had the plant in the same location--by a large north window--for over a year without problems. I thought it was overwatering, and so I've cut back on the frequency of watering, but to no avail. It only seems to be affecting one of the clusters of leaves. The clusters on the other sub-trunks aren't curled. Could this be a root rot problem or something else? I've attached a photo of a leaf that's starting to turn yellow. Thanks for any reply. |
Follow-Up Postings:
First of all, that looks more liked Yucca elephantipis than Dracaena. How big is the pot? (Pic) These Yuccas are fairly vigorous growers and you do have several trunks (separate plants) in the same pot. |
Thanks. It is a Yucca elephantipis. The pot is 10". Do you think it's root bound? Here's a photo of the whole plant. |

It looks much better in the whole-plant shot than the leaf closeup. Nice tree! Yes, that looks like a very small pot for a tree that size. For any plant that makes a woody trunk, it's normal for the lower foliage to be discarded as the trunk lignifies (turns woody.) As long as new leaves are showing up as fast as (or faster) than older ones are being discarded, it's perfectly normal. It looks good. Whenever you repot, you can sit the root ball at a slight angle, so the tree is more upright. Just don't alter the soil line level right at the trunk. Trim the 'high side' of the roots if necessary. A few large rocks sitting on the surface for the first couple months can make sure it doesn't fall over while securing itself in its' new position, just not big enough rocks to smush/pack the dirt down. Having little air pockets in the pot is good, desirable. If you change to a more chunky/airy mix (like for cactus instead of 'potting soil,') you should be able to water much more often without risking rotting the roots (overwatering.) Leaves can be lost from getting too dry as well as too wet. The first pic of this discussion looks a little wilty to me, confirmed by the pic of the whole. "Overwatering" would produce yellow/brown tips. When you do water, regardless of soil type, be sure to thoroughly moisten the entire contents of the pot, which usually requires enough water so that a lot of it comes flowing out of the drain hole. That requires a trip to a sink/tub/shower. If your plant is not too heavy to do that, it will help keep it looking as good as possible. A gentle shower is best, strong flows of water can cause the tiny particles to flow into and fill/block the tiny pockets of air within the pot. Roots need air and moisture to function. When there is only moisture, rot can happen (and is then called overwatering.) |
Thanks for the help, purpleinopp. I got a much larger pot and changed out the soil. I also straightened the trunk. This business with the curled yellowing leaves is recent. The plant has never done that before, and it's been in this house for several years. I figured maybe it had a reached a point where the root system couldn't sustain the growth. Anyway I hope that's what it is. |

Health Science Center professor L. Thomas Wolff, M.D., Named Distinguished Teaching Professor by the State University of New York
L. Thomas Wolff, M.D., professor of family medicine at the State University of New York Health Science Center at Syracuse, has been named a Distinguished Teaching Professor by the State University Board of Trustees.
In announcing the honor, State University Chancellor John W. Ryan described Dr. Wolff as a "superlative teacher, setting the highest standards for his students." Dr. Wolff will be honored at the Health Science Center's Fall Faculty Convocation Sept. 8.
Dr. Wolff of Liverpool has been affiliated with the Health Science Center since 1969 when he was an instructor in the Department of Family Practice. He became professor and chairman of the Department of Family Practice in 1973. He also directed the Family Practice Residency Program at St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center.
Dr. Wolff's expertise in family medicine caught the attention of Olympic organizers who tapped the physician to be chief of general practitioners at the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, N.Y. There, he directed family practice physicians responsible for general health care needs of athletes in the Olympic village.
In 1988 Dr. Wolff began the development of a Rural Medical Education (RMED) program. RMED provides a different approach to medical education by enabling students to complete up to 40 percent of their clinical training in community-based settings and small rural hospitals. Each year, the RMED program places up to 17 third- year medical students in rural communities full time for nine consecutive months to work and learn under the supervision of a board certified physicians.
Earlier this year, Dr. Wolff was named associate director of the statewide Area Health Education Center, a federally funded program designed to alleviate physician shortages in many areas of New York state.
Dr. Wolff joins Camillo A. Benzo, Dr. Patricia J. Numann, Bonnie St. Andrews and Elinor J. Spring-Mills as the fifth Health Science Center professor to be named a Distinguished Teaching Professor by the SUNY Chancellor.

PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö A two-year investigation has yielded the arrest of eight individuals who, police say, are accused of distributing a controlled substance ŌĆö mainly marijuana.
During a press conference Wednesday, officials from the Pennsylvania State Police, Troop C, Punxsutawney, described a drug sweep that began around 7 a.m. that morning, and concluded without incident around 9 a.m., according to Lt. Bernard Petrovsky.
Trooper Jamie LeVier, public information officer for Troop C, said the two-year investigation focused on the sale and distribution of marijuana and prescription drugs.
Eight of nine suspects ŌĆö all from around the Punxsutawney area ŌĆö were arrested Wednesday, LeVier said. One suspect who was not arrested, Vincent B. Myrick, left the area within the last two weeks, he said.
Those taken into custody were:
ŌĆó Brianna C. Cogley, 21, Brookville, housed in the Jefferson County jail on $75,000 bail.
ŌĆó Elaine C. Greene, 48, Punxsy, housed in the Jefferson County jail on $125,000 bail.
ŌĆó Justin R. Jerrell, 22, Reynoldsville, housed in the Jefferson County jail on $40,000 bail.
ŌĆó Brian K. Kirbaugh, 22, Rossiter, housed in the Jefferson County jail on $80,000. His photo was unavailable.
ŌĆó Myrick, 39, formerly of Punxsy, not yet apprehended.
ŌĆó April B. Peace, 35, Houtzdale, formerly of Punxsy. At the time of the press conference, she had not yet been taken into custody, but District Judge Douglas Chambers said she was arrested Wednesday afternoon.
She was committed to the Jefferson County jail on $80,000 bail.
ŌĆó Cayla M. Shank, 19, Punxsy, housed in the Jefferson County jail on $40,000 bail.
ŌĆó Christopher R. Storms, 28, Rossiter, housed in the Jefferson County jail on $80,000 bail.
ŌĆó Patrick S. Doksa, no age given, Falls Creek, housed in the Jefferson County jail on $40,000 bail.
Chambers arraigned all the defendants ŌĆö except Cogley and Doksa ŌĆö Wednesday.
Captain Scott Neal, commanding officer of Troop C, said troopers and undercover officers involved in the investigation did not specifically target marijuana trafficking, but acted upon the information they had. In this case, it happened to deal with marijuana and prescription drugs.
ŌĆ£It all starts somewhere,ŌĆØ LeVier said. ŌĆ£It was a two-year investigation and it was time to bring it to a close.ŌĆØ
While marijuana is ŌĆ£always a problem,ŌĆØ Petrovsky said, the abuse and trafficking of prescription drugs has been on a steady rise in the last few years, said District Attorney Jeff Burkett, who added that early in his career as D.A., he rarely saw these kinds of cases.
That has changed, as these days, users will doctor their own prescriptions and steal other peopleŌĆÖs prescriptions ŌĆö ŌĆ£any way that they can obtain them.ŌĆØ
Neal said over the last few years, troopers have received training in drug recognition that enables them to learn is a person is impaired on drugs ŌĆö not just alcohol ŌĆö during traffic stops.
Thus, Burkett said troopers and his office have seen an increase in the number of ŌĆ£drug DUIŌĆØ cases.
ŌĆ£We then base our decisions on the blood samples,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£It has really helped our drug DUI prosecution in the county.ŌĆØ

This year, the theme of national nutrition month is "Eat Right with Color" and it's a great time to think about adding more colorful fruits and vegetable to your diet. In this photo, nutritionist Dr. Sandra Arevalo is teaching her patient what his dinner plate should look like. We're glad to see he is adding his greens!
Our programs are committed to helping families understand healthy eating and exercise habits through programs like the Starting Right Initiative, a multi-faceted program designed to increase awareness of the rise in pediatric overweight risks including type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Children's Health Fund also creates health education materials that make vital health information accessible to children, teenagers, parents and care givers. Material topics include promoting healthy behaviors, growth and development, preventing disease and managing chronic illness. These award-winning health education materials are available for download in English and Spanish.
► Children's Health Fund (CHF) is lucky to have so many noteable friends that support our work. Pictured here from left to right: Don Mattingly, who helped launched Children's Health Fund's Yankee Home Run Club, CHF Co-Founder Paul Simon, Jane Pauley, Chair of CHF's Advisory Council, and CHF Co-Founder and President Irwin Redlener M.D.
Today the House of Representatives voted to attach to a budget bill multiple amendments that would prohibit funding for important health care reform provisions that benefit children and families.
Defunding health care reform would halt progress in enrolling at least 5 million children in health insurance and limit the ability of the federal government to protect patients, regulate premium increases, set up insurance exchanges and hold insurance companies accountable.
In addition, the budget bill contains deep cuts to federal programs that would impact the lives and health of America's children, including a $210 million cut to the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant, which supports state and local programs serving women, babies, children and children with special heath care needs, and a $747 million cut to the WIC program, which provides supplemental food, health care referrals, and nutrition education to at-risk infant, children and pregnant women.
It's crucial that children have access to affordable, comprehensive health care services. Let your legislator know that you don't support legislation that jeopardizes the well-being of millions of America's children.
► At CHF's Southern Arizona Children's Health Project, doctors like Darlene Ray (pictured here) provide medical and dental services to kids of the rural US/Mexico borderlands of Cochise County, Arizona (an area equivalent to the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island together!) Check out Dr. Ray's post about working in Southern Arizona.
By Deirdre Byrne, Director of Policy, Children's Health Fund
Last week, the House Appropriations Committee released a budget bill to fund the government for the next year which contains major proposed cuts to programs that help children and families every day. They are expected to vote on this measure THIS WEEK. Included in the cuts are:
Though different than the budget presented by President Obama yesterday, this budget proposal is just as important as it will determine how money is spent through the remainder of this fiscal year.
It is extremely urgent that lawmakers hear from you about how these cuts will negatively impact your community. Write your lawmaker now, let them know that you support these programs and realize the impact of these budget cuts in your community.
Thanks for your help!!
Share the love and give the gift of good health. Do something different this Valentine's Day, make a donation to Children's Health Fund in honor of your loved one. You can even send your Valentine a eCard or letter in the mail!
►In honor of "Give Kids A Smile" Day, take a few minutes to remind your kids how to properly brush and floss their teeth. You can even demonstrate proper brushing on a doll, just like the boy in this picture! Or, download our Healthy Teeth Bright Smiles brochure and share with your children.
by Delaney Gracy, MD, MPH, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Children's Health Fund
Today, as part of National Childhood Dental Awareness month, the American Dental Association (ADA) celebrates "Give Kids A Smile" Day. This year, over 12,000 dentists have signed up to participate in the program and provide free oral health care to kids from low-income families across the country. In addition, dental-health focused events across the country will help to shine the light on the many barriers facing low-income families who are trying to access dental care for their kids.
At Children's Health Fund (CHF), we know all too well how difficult it is for children living in poverty to access dental care. Kids living in poverty have twice the odds of having tooth decay, twice the extent of the decay, twice the unmet treatment need, twice the pain experience, but half the access to dental care than their more affluent peers. A variety of variables adds to this lack of access:
At CHF, addressing these low rates of dental care is always a priority. Our National Network programs in Arkansas, Dallas, Idaho, New York City (including Harlem) and Washington, D.C., provide free, comprehensive oral health care – screening, dental exams, digital x-rays, oral health education and dental procedures – to low-income children. Eight of our programs offer fluoride varnishes in the primary care setting, and throughout the National Network primary care providers conduct oral health screenings and provide referrals to collaborating community dentists.
Today in Idaho, our Idaho Children's Health Project (ICHP) is participating in the ADA's "Give Kids A Smile" day! Dentists will be providing exams, sealants, and fluoride varnishes for 2nd and 3rd graders at Bickel Elementary in Twin Falls and hope to see about 110 kids throughout the day (they will definitely be keeping busy!) The ICHP is working in collaboration with the Caring Foundation for Children, who will help with paperwork, the College of Southern Idaho, who will bring volunteer dental assistant students, and Delta Dental, who is supplying tooth brush kits for the kids!
We are thrilled to join the ADA's commitment to helping provide dental care to low-income kids and bring awareness to the many access barriers facing the kids in these communities. Today and everyday we all need to do what we can to ensure all kids have something to smile about!
By Dr. Sharon "PJ" Joseph, Medical Director, New York Children's Health Project, Community Pediatrics Program
As a mom and a pediatrician, there are many moments in my life that have made my heart swell with pride: Graduating from medical school, welcoming each one of my children into the world and helping a severely ill patient get better are a few that come to mind. This January, my colleagues at the New York Children's Health Project (NYCHP) and I experienced pride that is on par with these milestones, when NYCHP attained the highest level National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) accreditation as a Patient Centered Home. NYCHP is the Nation's first mobile medical program to receive the Advanced/Level 3 accreditation, putting our program on the same level as the best health care providers in the country. It truly is a gold medal around our neck and something we work hard to attain each and every day.
Since NYCHP was established in 1987, our goal has been to provide the best and most comprehensive care, including medical, mental health and nutrition services. We aim to ensure that NO patient falls through the cracks, that communication with patients and their parents is top-notch, that lab and test results are promptly delivered, and that when referral appointments are made, our patients have the support they need in order to complete the referral and receive timely and appropriate care. This isn't always easy when working with such a transient population in an environment that presents numerous challenges of its own. But because of NYCHP's unique approach to providing services, we have been able to provide the highest quality of care to underserved patients and are so happy our model of care is now officially recognized.
As a mom, I have always known that NYCHP is the kind of medical establishment where I would want to bring my kids. It is a place where moms know their children will receive the best care – where we will both hold their hands and empower them to understand how to best care for their families. As a doctor, I know the effort and commitment that is necessary for a medical program or institution to receive the Level 3 accreditation. It was a team effort both in the field and throughout the extensive application process and now, with the NCQA accreditation, other doctors and medical establishments will be able to recognize the incredible quality of care provided by NYCHP.
We always knew our work deserved a "gold medal." Now that we have it, it feels great!
►May the Force be with the Children's Health Fund. In 2005, George Lucas selected Children's Health Fund as the charity that would benefit from the New York City red carpet premiere of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Pictured at the premiere, with Karen and Irwin Redlener... the one and only Chewbacca. We're sure he stays warm in this snowy winter weather!

Learn How to Protect Yourself & Your Loved Ones
Financial fraud affecting the nation's elderly population isn't merely a story you see on the evening news. It's a growing problem, and statistically, it could happen to you or someone you know.
A study by the MetLife Mature Market Institute reveals alarming details: 20 percent of Americans over the age of 65 have already been the victims of financial fraud and it costs those victims more than $2.6 billion a year.
Sometimes fraud against the elderly is perpetrated by a stranger, but sometimes, people in a position of trust take advantage of the elderly too.
Family members, friends and caregivers all have a role to play in protecting loved ones. It's important to know how you can identify and thwart financial fraud by understanding how different types of fraud happen and what you can do to help.
Types of Fraud
We've all heard stories of seniors losing their retirement savings through different types of fraud: foreign lotteries, telemarketing schemes, identity theft, Social Security fraud and others. According to estimates by Consumer Action, a consumer education and advocacy group, while seniors 60 and older make up 15 percent of the U.S. population, they account for roughly 30 percent of fraud victims.
Why is our senior population so vulnerable to fraud?
Accessibility and Isolation: Seniors tend to be home more often, are typically alone, and may be isolated from family and friends. According to anecdotal reports, criminals may be targeting seniors using Internet mapping and personal identification tools. The reports suggest that scammers have improved their ability to locate senior communities and target their residents.
Trust: Seniors tend to be more trusting, more easily intimidated and less apt to be rude. People in their 80s and 90s with no experience with scammers are frequently too trusting and believe whatever is said or what they read. Often can't tell the difference between a scammer's offer and official mail. Additionally, their thriftiness may betray them into entering sweepstakes and lotteries with promises of winnings.
Assets: Many seniors have a substantial amount of savings used to supplement their retired living.
Tips to Spot and Stop Fraud
With so many different types of fraud, it can be hard to know what to be on the lookout for. And financial fraud comes disguised in many forms. Maybe someone knocks on your door and offers to seal your driveway, clean your gutters or repair your roof. Or perhaps a very nice sounding charity is asking for a donation to help underprivileged children.
Are these legitimate? Maybe. But then again, maybe not. How do you know?
Here are a few tips to help you and your loved ones identify and avoid fraud:
• If it seems too good to be true – it is. The better something sounds, the more likely it is a scam. The first approach by many scammers to seniors is frequently made in the mail with notifications that they have won money or some other valuable prize. If the person who is targeted responds, the criminals obtain the phone number and start calling, especially in the afternoon when they know seniors are napping or just waking up from a nap. From lures of winnings the criminals progress to threats. They may even find family members' names on the internet and threaten a senior's loved ones. Any offer by mail or over the phone that promises money or prizes is probably worthless at best or an attempt to lure someone into a costly scam. Don't respond to them.
• Never give out personal information. Whether it's over the phone, through the mail, or someone they meet face-to-face, never to give out any personal details, especially to anyone you do not know or just met. Make sure the offer is legitimate. No matter what someone is selling, or how legitimate the offer sounds write down the individual's contact information and then follow up to make sure you are receiving legitimate information.
• Don't be afraid to say: No. It's OK to say no and simply hang up the phone or close the door. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Take your time when investigating an offer or even a charitable donation. If someone is offering a legitimate product or service, they will have no problem waiting.
• Be involved. Be aware. Become familiar. Help your loved one by learning more about their finances. If there is unusual activity in a bank account, you'll be able to recognize it more quickly.
• Use a witness. Do not allow your loved one to sign any legal documents unless another trusted family member or friend is there to witness.
• Who is hanging around? If a new caregiver or friend tries to become involved in an elderly person's finances, this could be a red flag for potential fraud. Get to know the people your loved ones know.
• Take advantage of technology. How can you reduce the possibility that Social Security checks or other checks go missing? Use your bank's direct deposit service to send funds safely and securely to a bank account.
