A Chiari malformation is a brain abnormality that affects the lower part of the brain, called the cerebellum. Many kids with this abnormality don't know they have the condition because they never have symptoms, and therefore aren't bothered by it.
But if you're reading this, chances are your child probably has some symptoms associated with a Chiari malformation. If that's the case, talk to a specialist — a pediatric neurologist or pediatric neurosurgeon — to determine what kind of treatment can help. Depending on your child's condition, medicines and procedures are available to help alleviate the symptoms of Chiari malformation.
Chiari (pronounced key-are-ee) malformation is a brain abnormality that causes the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls coordination and muscle movement, to protrude into the space normally occupied by the spinal cord. Some children are born with the condition, and others develop it as they grow.
Chiari malformation sometimes happens because the space at the back of the skull, where the cerebellum sits above the spine, is too small or is unusually shaped. These "cramped quarters" squeeze the cerebellum and even part of the brain stem, which controls the nerves in the face and neck, down through the foramen magnum (a funnel-like hole below the skull through which only the spinal cord usually passes).
Chiari malformation is also sometimes called tonsillar herniation or tonsillar ectopia because the part of the cerebellum that descends into the foramen magnum is called the cerebellar tonsils.
The pressure caused by Chiari malformation on the cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord can keep them from working correctly. It can also block the movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the liquid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord and protects them from injury. When CSF doesn't flow properly, it can build up in the brain and spinal cord and block communication of the brain's messages to the body.
There are four different types of Chiari malformation (I, II, III, and IV). Type I is by far the most common in children.
Doctors may refer to a Chiari malformation as "congenital," which means that a child developed it in the womb and had it at birth. Most cases of Chiari malformation are congenital, and often the cause is unknown.
Chiari malformations also can be related to other disorders that affect the development of the brain, spine, and bones. A Chiari malformation that is acquired develops later in life. When this happens, it's usually the after-effect of brain or spinal surgery performed for an unrelated condition. Acquired cases of Chiari malformation are sometimes reversible.
Although doctors haven't been able to identify a gene that causes Chiari malformation, it does sometimes run in families, which indicates that it could be hereditary.
Many kids with type I Chiari malformation have no signs and symptoms and don't even know that they have a malformation. They find out about it only when they're tested for another problem.
But if a Chiari malformation is severe enough to block the flow of CSF or put significant pressure on the brain or spinal cord, a child's nervous system can be affected. Symptoms can include dizziness and problems with balance and coordination. This means a child might fall down a lot, walk unusually, have trouble grasping items, or have poor hand-eye coordination.
Other symptoms can include:
Signs of Chiari malformation in babies include:
Some children with Chiari malformations also have cognitive and behavioral problems. Doctors aren't sure whether a Chiari malformation directly causes these problems or whether they're simply the child's way of reacting to the condition and its symptoms.
Since the symptoms of Chiari malformations vary greatly and may mimic many other conditions, it's important to get an accurate diagnosis. If you feel unsure about your child's diagnosis, seek a second opinion.
Children with Chiari malformations might have other conditions that are associated with the abnormality, such as:
Chiari malformation can be linked to certain birth defects, so children born with these defects are usually tested to see whether they might also have a Chiari malformation.
Most people with Chiari malformation (usually type I) appear healthy. So the diagnosis can come as a surprise and often follows testing, examination, or treatment for another condition. Chiari malformation also might be hard to diagnose in these cases because the symptoms are vague and can be caused by many other conditions. Often, people with type I Chiari malformation aren't diagnosed until they're teens or adults.
If your doctor suspects a Chiari malformation, your child will be examined and tested for things like speech, balance, reflexes, and motor skills. The doctor will probably want your child to undergo one or more of these tests:
Currently, no test can determine in advance whether a baby will be born with a Chiari malformation; however, some malformations can be seen on ultrasound images before birth.
There is no cure for Chiari malformation. However, most children who don't have symptoms won't require treatment. They should, however, continue to see their doctors for regular checkups to make sure that their condition doesn't change.
When symptoms do occur, treatment will focus on relieving them and stopping further damage to the brain and spinal cord (for example, medications may be used to ease symptoms like headaches and neck pain). And sometimes the doctor will recommend limiting activities that worsen symptoms.
If symptoms become severe, you may be referred to a neurosurgeon to discuss whether surgery is a good idea for your child.
A common procedure for kids with Chiari malformation is decompression. It helps to relieve pressure on the brain and spinal cord, restore the flow of CSF, and prevent additional damage. This surgery usually takes several hours and involves removing part of the skull and a portion of the spine's top vertebra.
Another surgical option involves implanting a shunt or tube to help drain CSF and relieve pressure on the brain. Shunts are commonly used to help children who have hydrocephalus or syringomyelia.
Surgery isn't a cure but it can help to greatly improve the problems caused by a Chiari malformation. It does have drawbacks, though. Surgery can be painful and can put a child at risk for infection and other complications. That's why it's important to talk to your doctor and weigh the pros and cons when deciding what is best.
Since doctors sometimes disagree on the best way to treat Chiari malformations, it's also wise to get a second opinion before making a decision.
The less severe the condition, the better the prognosis is for kids with Chiari malformations.
Many kids do not experience health problems and those with mild symptoms usually find that medications provide enough relief for them to lead normal lives. Symptoms typically don't get worse and surgery usually isn't necessary for kids with these milder forms.
For those who do undergo surgery, a successful long-term outcome depends on the severity of symptoms and how long they existed prior to surgery — kids whose symptoms were present for a brief period before surgery are more likely to have symptoms resolve compared with those who had symptoms for many years.

Family gifts put library fund in South Berwick over $750,000
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Ginny and Mark Alterio want their donation to the new South Berwick Public Library to enhance the children's area, while Jack Shipley intends his donation to honor the memory of his late wife, a former high school teacher. With the $5,000 each of them contributed to complete renovations at the new library on Young Street, the Friends of South Berwick Library Capital Campaign has now raised three-quarters of a million dollars toward the building project.
The Alterios and Shipley met recently with Library Director Karen Eger to discuss how their donations would be used. Shipley is thrilled to know his deceased wife, Lee Morrison Shipley, will be memorialized in the visual arts section of the stacks, and the Alterios are delighted to have helped out in the Young Children's area.
With a little over $320,000 left to raise, the Campaign Committee continues to meet with prospective donors interested in having a conversation about how they might best support the library. Many find that a monthly credit card deduction over a few years lets their household give more than they originally thought they could.

Sanford Downtown Legacy honors Orazio, Treadwell At annual meeting, organization recaps past year and looks ahead
Thursday, February 14, 2013
SANFORD — Sanford Downtown Legacy (SDL) held its annual meeting at the Sanford Town Club on Monday evening and honored two individuals for their contributions to the organization and to the community.
"He dreams so big, which is great," Libbey said on Wednesday. "And whatever ideas you bring to Matt, he will work to make them happen."
Last fall, Treadwell organized SDL's first 5K race for "Harvest Daze." Currently, he is leading efforts to bring a children's museum to Sanford — one that hopefully will be established inside the newly renovated mill at 61 Washington Street.
Libbey presented plaques to both Orazio and Treadwell during the meeting.
Interim Mayor and Sanford Downtown Legacy President Maura Herlihy hosted the meeting, during which the chairs of the organization's subcommittees summarized their efforts during the past year and offered a few glimpses of what lies ahead.
Herlihy noted that SDL helped relocate the Sanford Farmers Market last year from Gowen Park, its home for years, to Central Park downtown. Market Manager Jack McAdam later told the audience that, as a result of the move, the market significantly increased its number of participating vendors and doubled, perhaps even tripled, its number of customers.
Herlihy also referred to the newly beautified alley between Dirty Dozen Donuts and The Old Timers Shop on Main Street. A $5,000 grant from the state of Maine made the transformation possible.
"It's safe," Herlihy said of the alley that for years had been dimly lit and nondescript. "It's what we want our downtown to be."
Looking ahead, Herlihy said SDL wants "to see Goodall Mansion saved and see it become a part of the community." Joseph Doiron, of the Goodall Mansion Society, has been working with SDL toward that effort; he attended Monday's meeting.
Herlihy also said that SDL will be trying to develop an annual event for Springvale.
Lynn McCannell, the chair of SDL's promotions committee, discussed the organization's annual festivals and encouraged everyone in the room to attend future ones.
David Joy, the chair of the design committee, spoke of SDL's efforts in the past year to work with developers to assist or inspire them to follow guidelines for their downtown projects. He cited the new Verizon building next to Dunkin' Donuts on Main Street as an example of such collaboration. SDL created a design-review process that the Sanford Planning Board adopted.
"I think the process works very well," Joy said.
"They give thousands each year," Wilkins said. "They've been behind us with every program. They don't say no, and we really appreciate that."

NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks are heading to Boston, then perhaps finally back to the second round.
The once-mighty Celtics don't seem capable of stopping them.
Carmelo Anthony scored 34 points, Sixth Man of the Year J.R. Smith added 19 and New York opened a 2-0 lead over Boston with another dominant second half in an 87-71 victory on Tuesday night.

Raymond Felton added 16 points for the Knicks, who used a 27-4 run spanning halftime to blow it open and move halfway to their first series victory since the 2000 Eastern Conference semifinals. This is their first 2-0 lead since sweeping Toronto in the first round that year.
"For us, we know what type of team we are," Anthony said. "We know when we really buckle down on the defensive end, it's been hard for teams."
It's been brutally difficult for Boston.
Paul Pierce scored 18 points for the Celtics, who will host Game 3 on Friday in their first home game since the Boston Marathon bombings.
They will have to be much sharper to avoid their first opening-round elimination since 2005, before they became one of the NBA's power teams again.
"We have to figure out the offensive side of the ball and not be so stagnated," Boston's Kevin Garnett said. "Figure out ways to score more often."
Garnett had 12 points and 11 rebounds, but battled foul trouble and spent too much time walking back to the bench with a raucous Madison Square Garden crowd finally experiencing playoff success again hounding him every step of the way.
Plagued by turnovers in Game 1, when they managed eight points in the decisive fourth quarter, the Celtics watched it all fall apart 12 minutes earlier this time. They managed only 23 points after halftime, two fewer than in their 85-78 loss Saturday.
"I thought we attacked them in the first half, but they hung in there," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "They didn't let us throw a knockout punch and I thought in the second half they turned that on us and they threw a knockout punch. Several."
Anthony followed his 36-point opener by making 8-of-13 shots in the second half to finish 11 of 24 for the game.
He had said the Knicks needed to treat the game as a "must-win," aware of the difficulty of winning in Boston on Friday with the emotional boost the Celtics will get from finally being home.
They showed that mentality after halftime, outscoring Boston 32-11 in the third quarter.
"I think guys know what's at stake. We don't have to talk about it," veteran forward Kenyon Martin said. "Guys know what it's about right now and it's about winning a championship."
Iman Shumpert drilled two 3-pointers to open the third and tie it before Pierce scored to give Boston its last lead at 50-48. The Knicks scored 18 of the next 20 points, with the Celtics getting just two free throws from Jeff Green over the next 5-plus minutes. Anthony's jumper with 4:25 remaining in the third capped the run before Garnett finally gave Boston its second basket of the quarter 10 seconds later
The Celtics missed 10 of their first 11 shots of the third while getting outscored 24-4 to open the period.
"I thought in that third quarter we were as good as we've been all year in terms of ball movement and pushing it and making shots," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said.
Celtics' Second-Half Struggles
Just like in Game 1, the Celtics saw a marked drop in production in the second half of Game 2. Boston has watched halftime leads disappear in both games against New York.

The Celtics vowed to get Garnett more involved after he shot 4 of 12 while scoring eight points in the opener. But that plan was quickly wrecked when he picked up two fouls in the first 3 minutes, 20 seconds. The Celtics shook it off and led 20-15 when Jason Terry made a 3-pointer with 1:57 left for his first basket of the series.
But the Knicks scored 11 straight to end the period. Smith, recognized before the game for the award he won Monday, kept the celebration going with five points in the final 6.8 seconds, hitting a 36-footer at the buzzer with Celtics all over him to make it 26-20.
The Celtics quickly settled down again, ripping off an 11-0 run to take a 31-27 lead on another 3-pointer by Terry. The lead later grew to eight when Pierce made a jumper, then fired a lob pass that traveled about three-quarters of the court to a streaking Green.
They led 48-39, gave up the last three points of the half -- and probably never realized they gave away momentum for good with it.
"We made a good run in the first half, we played our style of basketball," Terry said. "But in the second half we definitely got away from what gave us success."
Game notes
Amare Stoudemire still hopes to return from right knee surgery for the second round if the Knicks advance. He hopes to be running full speed soon so he can see how the knee responds to the additional work. ... NBA TV's analysts have made their postseason awards picks, and former Knicks coach and president Isiah Thomas chose Woodson, his friend and former Indiana University teammate. "That's good, but I mean, again, I'm not in this for Coach of the Year, I'm in to try to see if we can get this team to the championship round to try to win a title," Woodson said. "If that happens, it happens, but I'm not sitting here holding my breath about a Coach of the Year award." Woodson added that he and Thomas are friends and talk all the time.

Around The Association
Defining moment: After a flat second quarter, the Knicks came out on fire at the start of the third, jumping all over the Celtics with a 25-4 outburst. Boston was unable to recover over the game's final 18 minutes.
MVP: Carmelo Anthony. Melo carried a heavy load yet again for the Knicks' offense, and he did it with great efficiency against a tough Celtics defense. Anthony scored 34 points on just 23 shot attempts. He's averaging 35 points per game in the series.
That was déjà vu: One game after setting a franchise low for points in a half during the postseason, the Celtics had a repeat effort in Game 2. They shot a putrid 19 percent from the field after intermission, and managed to score a mere 23 points in the second half.
Research Notes
From Elias: BIG FIX FROM ELIAS: (entering this postseason) Since the playoffs expanded in 1984, 132 lower seeds (WORSE SEEDS) have fallen behind two games to none in a first-round series. Only 5 have come back to win the series (3.8%).[+]

The Celtics shot 19.4 percent tonight from the field in the 2nd half. That's their worst shooting percentage in ANY POSTSEASON HALF since 1996-97.
Avery Bradley held J.R. Smith to 1 of 5 shooting in the second quarter Tuesday after Smith was 4 of 4 against other Celtics players in the first. Despite his success, Bradley guarded Smith on only one field goal attempt in the second half.[+]
J.R. Smith by Defender - Game 2 vs Celtics

The Knicks scored 26 points on plays that featured a pick-and-roll in the second half Tuesday after scoring 13 on those plays in the first half. The Knicks averaged 1.18 points per play on the pick-and-roll in the game and averaged 0.68 points per play on isolations.[+]
Knicks Pick-and-Roll Offense - Game 2 vs Celtics

The Celtics scored 24 points in the paint in Game 2, including 8 in the second half. The 24 paint points are tied for the Celtics' lowest in a game this season. The Celtics have averaged 27.0 paint points in the first two game of the series after averaging 38.1 points in the paint during the regular season.
Carmelo Anthony has nearly the same number of points and field goal attempts in the first and second halves of his first two playoff games against the Celtics. However, Anthony has passed 17 more times in the second halves of the games, helping the Knicks to a 33-point second-half advantage in the series.[+]

"My basil was looking puny." This was the opening sentence from a beloved leader in our community when I ran into her at the farmers market. We've been acquaintances for years, and it was wonderful to reconnect with her. I was rather puzzled by her comment, but I simply kept quiet and listened.
My colleague was in the midst of some important and high-level negotiations with tremendous economic and political significance for our organization. She facetiously commented that she was working 42 hours a day. Failure was not an option, and she was clearly under enormous personal and professional pressures.
So what did the basil plant have to do with any of this? As an avid cook, my friend prides herself on her gardening and kitchen skills. Because she was too busy to care for her garden, her herbs withered and died. As a result, her recipes were not quite up to par, and she felt very frustrated.
This casual meeting with an old friend at a Saturday morning market reminded me of the importance of taking care of yourself by:

I have a friend who's way of living is reflected in her garden and yard. Her yard looks like an elderly, senile, or handicapped person lives there--the shrubs and trees are poorly tended, weeds grow everywhere. In the spring, she'll work feverishly at her vegetable garden in the back yard, devoting lots of time and money to it. Then--she forgets about it. She isn't good at maintenance--she doesn't like to trim and harvest.
The truth is, she doesn't like the vegetables--she grows them to give away. She doesn't read up on the tried and true methods of gardening, she tries anything new and trendy. She's so busy with her volunteer work and her friends and family, she really doesn't have time to devote to the mass of vegetables she plants. She thinks she's doing a great job, but her gardening is sloppy and wasteful. And she doesn't like to eat the vegetables, even though she's on a constant diet. She tells me to pick whatever I want, but then she doesn't want me to pick too much--because she wants to give some away. She grows the garden so people will love and appreciate her more. But when she gets depressed or worn out, she doesn't do the maintenance. She thinks she trims her forsythia bush constantly--but in three years, she's only done it once. She loses track of time, and forgets that the vegetable garden needs constant attention. She has a beautiful lilac bush that she never prunes--and now it's dying. Her life is too crowded--just like her garden. Slow down, enjoy.
Wow- I really needed to hear this message this morning -I thank you for this very simple but profound comment on "Tending our Garden"- didnt even notice my basil plant died. I need to rethink priorites for sure.
Thank you
It seems as if my garden is a migraine cure. If I feel a migraine coming on I go out to it and before you know it the weed and my headache are gone not to mention I eat a few fresh peas and green beans which I believe are really good for preventing headaches. I also have noticed that each time that I have used my garden as a headache cure, the garden was overgrown as if it was the reason I had the headache. Strange I know but I think my garden is a Migraine Headache Cure and a Detector as well. Thanks and I trust this will help someone, Don
I made a note of Raymond's site and will check it out. It's never too late to learn. Sunday is my day of rest when I tend to the "gardening" of my soul.
I finished my "list" but can't bear to look at it again. I suppose I'll never get to tending my garden until I do dig it up and make a token effort to follow thru. Thanks Rosemary for providing hope, I needed it.
My garden has kept me sane over many years, although last year, after an unexpected and unpleasant diagnosis, I hadn't the strength to do much more than sit and look at it. However, it was so peaceful there in the shade, with the sound of water and the wind in the trees, that I felt much better. Thanks to a great oncologist and new medication, I am feeling great this year, so have been going full steam ahead making changes and doing all kinds of work. When I get outside, all my cares drop away and I can lose myself in the garden. I often think of a little verse by Emerson, which starts
"All my hurts, my garden spade can heal".
In our household, the garden helps the patient and the caregiver. My family member has numerous disorders and was recently diagnosed with cancer. His garden is his safe place; his plants are his friends; fruits and vegetables are his pride and joy. I on the other hand am a creative cook. I make the most of what he grows, losing myself in the process of preparing, inventing and in his delight in consuming. A garden can be a wonderful place. Its provides physically and emotionally health.
I have produced this educational program on managing stress for my

It is indeed so important to tend to our needs. When we don't nurture ourselves, we, like the basil, wither and don't thrive.

Character Car - Blue Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
This adorable blue car ornament is shaped like a character that wants to go BEEP! BEEP! There are eyes in the windshield, glittered polka dots on the roof of the car and a nose doubles as a hood ornament. A fun gift for the little boy who loves to play with cars and trucks or for the teen who just learned how to drive or got a new car! Made of glass, this ornament reminds us of the fun characters in Disney's Cars movies with their kooky personalities and shiny new finishes.
Material: Glass
Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.

Campus safety and managing emergencies FAQ
Emergency management
- How is the campus prepared for emergencies?
- UC Davis has a comprehensive emergency management program under the guidance of a full-time emergency planner. It includes a formal emergency operations plan for preparing for, responding to and recovering from emergencies. UC Davis uses an emergency operations center to coordinate response to major emergencies, and trained employees staff the center. UC Davis regularly conducts training sessions and emergency exercises. UC Davis is part of a regional emergency management system, and it is in compliance with state and federal standards for managing emergencies.
- How is UC Davis served by police and fire?
- UC Davis has its own full-service police and fire departments located on campus. The UC Davis Police Department is a state police agency that provides patrol, investigative and crime prevention services on the Davis and Sacramento campuses. It includes more than 50 sworn and 75 civilian employees. The department's jurisdiction extends one mile around the campus boundaries and to all facilities administered by UC Davis. The department has its main station on the Davis campus and one at the Sacramento campus.
- The UC Davis Fire Department is responsible for fire prevention and suppression, emergency medical services, hazardous materials response and rescue on the main campus in Davis. UC Davis also has automatic-aid agreements with local cities through which equipment and firefighters are automatically dispatched for certain incidents.
- Is UC Davis prepared to deal with a shooter on campus?
- It's something we hope doesn't happen here, but we know it could. Since the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, all UC Davis police officers have completed training in active shooter/rapid response and related equipment has been purchased. While it was once standard for law enforcement to set up a perimeter and wait for a specially trained and equipped SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team to arrive, the active shooter procedures call for teams of trained officers to move in immediately and neutralize the shooter. The department holds training sessions to help members of the campus community to think ahead and learn strategies to increase the likelihood of surviving a shooting incident, like Virginia Tech's, on our own campus.
- How does UC Davis help the campus learn about the police department?
- The UC Davis Police Department offers a nine-week Citizen's Academy for members of the community who want to learn more about law enforcement. Topics covered include arrest, search and seizure, basic forensic science, suspect apprehension, a K-9 demonstration, mock traffic stops and defensive tactics. There are no special requirements for taking the course, offered in the winter and spring quarters, but each candidate must undergo a background check. Students can receive two units of credit for full attendance.
Alerts and notifications
- When a student has a problem at school, under which circumstances will UC Davis contact the parents?
- Under university policy and federal and state law, students have privacy rights. There is no general exception for notifying parents unless the student has given written consent, or there is a serious concern about the health and welfare of the student. Exceptions may include transportation to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. But campus officials can only make that call if they know about the incident. If the situation doesn't come to the attention of the campus for several days, and a student is no longer in immediate danger, parents may not be contacted.
- Campus officials will usually contact parents if a student threatens or attempts suicide. If a student is removed from residence halls for misconduct and the student has nowhere to go, parents may also be notified.
- How can I learn about crimes on campus?
- The UC Davis Police Department promptly publicizes significant incidents of criminal activity that pose a potential threat to the campus. Crime alerts are posted on the department's Web site and on campus bulletin boards. You may sign up to receive the bulletins by e-mail. In some circumstances, the department and other campus units may host information sessions for students.
- How does UC Davis notify the campus about emergencies?
- UC Davis WarnMe provides faculty, staff and students with timely information and instructions during emergencies or other urgent situations that may directly affect their well-being. The system can send simultaneous messages to the university community by e-mail, telephone, cell phone and text messaging. Because the alert system is designed to provide livesaving information to those in harm's way, others, such as parents or members of the media, will not be included in the system. The system will complement other UC Davis communications including use of the Web and news media.
- What is the campus emergency status line? How do I reach it?
- The campus emergency status line provides callers with a recorded telephone message about the status of the campus in an emergency. In the event of an emergency, the recording indicates its nature, brief instructions and another source of information. Callers dial (530) 752-4000.
Crime prevention and risk reduction
- How does UC Davis help the community prevent crime?
- The crime prevention unit of the UC Davis Police Department conducts safety and security surveys and presents educational programs on crime prevention topics ranging from drug and alcohol awareness to personal safety. All students are encouraged to take precautions for their personal safety, and attend presentations on personal safety and security that are offered in the residence halls. Members of the campus community should also protect their personal property by registering their bikes, locking computers to their desk, and engraving valuables with their student identification or driver's license number. Safety tips are available on the department's Web site, and students may borrow an engraving pen to mark personal valuables with their driver's license number. For more information, call (530) 752-3104.
- How does UC Davis help reduce incidents of sexual assault and serve survivors?
- Formally established in 1979, the Campus Violence Prevention Program provides 24-hour advocacy, crisis intervention, support groups and educational programming aimed at reducing incidents of sexual violence, relationship violence and hate. Awareness and risk-reduction workshops include discussion, interactive role-playing and other exercises, and videos. All incoming students are required to attend an educational workshop regarding sexual assalt, dating/domestic violence, stalking, campus reporting options and resources for support. Through the peer educator program, trained undergraduates use drama and facilitate audience discussion to address the topic of acquaintance rape.
- Is there a safety escort service on campus?
- Yes. The UC Davis Police Department provides a free safety escort service that operates evenings and late nights, seven days a week, excluding holidays and Summer Sessions. The escorts will walk with or give a ride to students, employees and visitors on campus or nearby university property. To request the service, please call (530) 752-2677.
- Is there a service to help students who have had too much to drink get home safely?
- Yes. Tipsy Taxi provides a safe ride home to undergraduates to and from anywhere within the city of Davis. The service, provided by the Associated Students of UC Davis, is available 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday to Saturday during the academic school year. The cost is just $3 for each ride.
- Does UC Davis offer self-defense classes?
- Yes. Students may enroll in a half-unit course in personal defense through Physical Education.
- What does UC Davis do about hazing?
- UC Davis takes an aggressive approach to discourage hazing — activities that may cause physical harm or personal degradation — particularly among organized groups like its athletic teams and fraternities and sororities. UC Davis has a zero-tolerance rule against hazing, as outlined in the University of California policies applying to campus activities, organizations and students. Violations may result in probation or expulsion from the university, disciplinary action by the Office of Student Judicial Affairs or referral to local law enforcement agencies. Students may also be suspended from an athletic team, and student groups are also subject to losing their privileges as a student organization.
- At the beginning of each season, UC Davis athletes receive a copy of the student athlete handbook and planner with information about the school's hazing policy. Each team must review the policy, and individual athletes must sign a form stating that they have read and understand the rules. Each year, teams must attend at least two presentations by guest speakers, and coaches may add another of their choosing.
- A staff liaison meets with the presidents of the fraternities and sororities throughout the year to ensure that each chapter understands the definition and consequences of hazing.
Safety in residence halls
- What kind of security does UC Davis have in the residence halls?
- Residence halls are locked 24 hours a day and feature an electronic key-card access system for exterior entrances. Access is limited to the residents of the hall and their invited guests so that the resident community collectively controls and limits access to their building. Video cameras have been added to the lobbies and exteriors of some residence halls and have become standard in all new construction. Each bedroom has its own dead bolt lock and a peephole in the door, and first-floor windows in vulnerable locations have both window security screens and locks. The residence halls have live-in resident advisers, and someone is on call at all times.
- All of our dormitories have smoke detectors in each sleeping room. Newer buildings have sprinkler systems, and UC Davis has started retrofitting older buildings with fire sprinkler systems. A full-time fire safety coordinator in Student Housing is dedicated to testing the fire systems and conducting monthly inspections of the fire extinguishers.
Alcohol and other drugs
- What is UC Davis doing to prevent problems related to alcohol and other drugs?
- For years, UC Davis has had campus policies and programs to address the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs among its students. Efforts include policy development, educational programming, intervention and enforcement. The campuswide effort includes, among others, Student Housing, Counseling Services, and the Associated Students of UC Davis.
- The university facilitates the Davis Campus/Community Alcohol and Other Drug Coalition. The coalition examines issues affecting youth and their families and develops, promotes and supports university and community policies and educational strategies that prevent or reduce alcohol and drug abuse and its consequences.
- A lot of college students run into problems at parties. How is UC Davis addressing that?
- Since 2003, UC Davis has been participating in the California Safer Universities Project. UC Davis is one of six participating campuses asked by the Prevention Research Center of Berkeley to develop a coordinated campus community strategy for reducing high-risk drinking and the problems it creates. The research project seeks to reduce violence, property damage, injury and car crashes that result from high-risk drinking and out-of-control parties.
- In response to participation in the project, UC Davis has created the Safe Party Initiative, which focuses on creating safer party environments by building a closer sense of community between students and neighbors, promoting safety at parties, and increasing enforcement of alcohol-related laws and policies. This initiative is a collaboration of the city of Davis and UC Davis.
- Does UC Davis have an office devoted to prevention of problems related to alcohol and other drug use?
- Established in 1990, Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Intervention Services offers educational programs, employs strategies to create safer environments and provides resources and referrals for treatment. As part of the Health Education and Promotion program, the program aims to reduce alcohol and other drug-related barriers to academic and social development.
Mental health issues
- What services does UC Davis have for students with mental health problems?
- Counseling Services offers confidential and free assessment, intervention and referral for students, and consultation and crisis response for employees, students and parents. Other programs — including new faculty orientation, conferences and workshops — provide guidance in identifying and responding to distressed or distressing students.
- What mental health services are available for students outside regular business hours?
- Counseling Services has instituted a seven-days-a-week, after-hours crisis response service to augment its regular services. A private licensed vendor provides after-hours and weekend support to students who are coping with emergency mental health situations, and is integrated with our counseling center, police department and others to provide emergency care and follow-up services. The phone number is (530) 752-0871.
- What kinds of counseling services are available to employees?
- The Academic and Staff Assistance Program offers confidential and free assessment, counseling, consultation and referral services to all UC Davis and UC Davis Health System faculty, staff and families. The assistance program helps with problems whether they are work-related or personal, administrative or individual, or career or relationship focused.
- When additional resources are needed, we can link you to appropriate services in your community. If you are concerned about a friend, colleague, co-worker, subordinate or work group, we can help you. Our goal is to help at the earliest possible moment.
- On the Davis campus: (530) 752-2727
- On the Sacramento campus: (916) 734-2727
- How does UC Davis deal with students or employees whose problems might get out of hand?
- At UC Davis, the Student Crisis Response Team and the Faculty-Staff Crisis Response provide immediate and comprehensive response to situations that involve disruption, intimidation or violence. The teams develop and implement strategic interventions and help manage ongoing problems. Related services include the Campus Violence Prevention Program and Mediation Services.
- Student Crisis Response Team (530) 752-1128
- Workplace Violence Prevention Committee (530) 754-8935
Crime statistics
- Does UC Davis publish crime statistics?
- Each year, the police department publishes two sets of crime statistics. The department's annual report is prepared according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program and released in the spring. The Clery report (PDF), made public in the fall, is prepared according to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The two reports have different reporting requirements — including definitions of crimes, reporting authorities and the geographical areas considered.

Answer:The creamy foam on top of a crema is not due to an added ingredient. I read that the foam results from the finer grind of the beans (not as fine as espresso). That causes a release of carbon dioxide from the bean in turn causing the foam. Crema styles are popular in parts of Europe, especially Italy. I can't understand why we don't find more of this in the USA. Maybe because most Americans don't drink black coffee?

Hi: 9° Lo:3°
By IH Monday 04 February 2013 Updated: 06/02 09:50
CHAPERONES are being reinstated on school buses to keep youngsters safe following a u-turn by council chiefs.
There was an outcry from parents last year when Warwickshire County Council took the decision to scrap paid Passenger Transport Assistants on primary school buses claiming it would save them up to £700,000 - half of what they hoped to save from the county's school transport budget.
The Observer exclusively broke the news as angry parents who accused the council of putting the safety of their children at risk by axing PTAs, who look after pupils aged as young as four, making sure they get to and from school safely.
The Tory-led administration today revealed they would be reinstating PTAs on all buses to primary schools across the county.
PTAs were scheduled to be removed from buses, coaches and taxis taking pupils to primary schools as part of a £1.4 million savings programme for school transport.
But the council - admitting it had listened to concerns expressed by parents, schools and governors in making the decision - now says savings have been made elsewhere through measures such as ensuring they secure the most competitively priced contracts via an online bidding system.
Coun Heather Timms, spokeswoman for children, young people and families, said: "The council has been able to meet the £1.4million it identified as a necessary saving from the school transport programme through other measures, so we are willing to acknowledge the concerns of parents and schools and reverse this decision."
Parents at Ferncumbe School at Hatton, which had already lost its PTAs, launched a petition to fight the move. It received thousands of signatures.
A campaign spokeswoman said: "Just a day after our petition closed with 6,871 names, Warwickshire County Council have confirmed that they are reinstating all PTAs. This is an amazing result and shows that our petition has worked.
"The council has put their own spin on it, claiming to have found the savings from another source, but we believe they have acted now, rather than face a humiliating defeat at the planned debate on February 19."
No date has yet been given for when PTAs will be reinstated on routes where they have already been removed.

Tilapia Baked in Salsa Verde
I have been meaning to try tilapia for a while now. I have pan fried fish before; I have broiled fish before; but I have never baked fish before. I have heard of baking chicken in salsa so I thought that I would try baking the tilapia in some of the leftover salsa verde. Baking the tilapia in the salsa kept the fish really soft and moist. The tilapia was pretty good and the salsa verde added a nice flavour to the dish. A really quick and tasty meal.
1 tilapia fillet
1/4 cup salsa verde
1. Rinse the tilapia fillet and pat it dry.
2. Place the fillet on a sheet of tin foil and cover with the salsa verde.
3. Fold the tinfoil to seal it and poke some holes in the top with a fork.
4. Bake in a 350F preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes.

The orgasm is great at the end, sure, but it isn't the only reason to get intimate.
The World of Warcraft servers became self-aware at 2:14 p.m. Western time, December 12th. In a panic, they tried to pull the plug.
I would say this sounds about right. Back when i was younger and in the military i could go for a long time and quite a few times a day...but you had to to impress the girl lol. Now that im married, we just do what we gotta do to get each other off and roll over and fall asleep haha. 7-13 mins is perfectly fine now a days.
I agree with that article. The actual act of penetration doesn't have to be a damn freakin' marathon. Really, idc if you don't last for hours. I'd prefer you don't, thank you very much.
It always depends. 7 min in and out, yes it's right. But if you take a couple seconds to stop and kiss, it's more like 30 min.
Actually, my gf always had an orgasm faster than me when I was doing the tornado. (you don't know the exact spot? all in)

CNN — Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, is backing off his proposal to change Medicare for people who are now 57 and younger, after personally lobbying fellow Republicans to support that change.
Ryan, the Budget Committee Chairman and 2012 GOP vice presidential candidate, had urged his GOP colleagues to support the entitlement reform as part of next year's GOP budget. But many House Republicans resisted, worried that the plan would be politically perilous because it would break the party's pledge not to include Americans who are now older than 55.
Ryan argued for the change because Americans are retiring later and he thought it was more "intellectually honest" to reflect that development in his plan, according to a GOP source. But House Republicans across the political spectrum worried -- some openly -- that moving the age from 55 to 57 would open them up to criticism that they were backtracking on a promise they had made to voters.
In a briefing for reporters Wednesday in a Budget Committee conference room on Capitol Hill, Ryan declined to answer questions about specific proposals in his budget that will be released next Tuesday. He also declined to address the concerns his colleagues have raised about his Medicare proposal.
"I'll get into that next week. When I have that finished product we'll show you the finished product. We're still writing our copy now." Ryan said.
But multiple Republican aides told CNN that he changed his mind after those internal discussions and would move forward with a Medicare proposal similar the one in his budget last year. An analysis of the approximate savings from making that Medicare change on age eligibility also showed it wouldn't save significant money.
Ryan did signal that much of what he will roll out next week reflects proposals for spending and entitlement reforms he's pressed in the past, saying, "I wouldn't expect big surprises from us next week."
It's expected that the GOP resolution will again propose overhauling Medicare in ten years by shifting it from a government-run program to one that would give seniors support to help pay for private health care coverage. It will also include more spending cuts to domestic programs and some general instructions for tax writing committees to overhaul the tax code this year.
Ryan told reporters he spoke to President Obama this week. He declined to share any details of their conversation, but railed against the president for failing to lay out his own budget by the deadline in February.
"With respect to the president I find it interesting that he's chosen to blow the deadline again -- not only by a week or two, which is what we've seen in the past, but an indefinite period of time and waiting for others to lead first," Ryan said.
Showing a flash of the tough rhetoric Ryan used on the campaign trail last fall when he served as Mitt Romney's running mate, Ryan added, "The person in the White House ought to lead -- that's what presidents are supposed to do and by delaying your budget for an indefinite period of time, it shows that there's just not a seriousness of purpose to actually fixing our budget problems."
As GOP leaders pledged earlier this year, the House Republican plan will balance the budget in ten years -- a more aggressive goal than they included in last year's budget, which took more than 25 years to balance.
Ryan stressed that balancing the budget in ten years is not only a "necessary goal but an achievable goal" and challenged Senate Democrats to follow suit.
But the recent congressional battles over taxes and spending have actually helped make it easier for Ryan to reach that goal. After the fiscal cliff deal at the end of the year, which raised taxes on wealthier Americans, new revenue is coming into the Treasury, helping Republicans in their effort to balance the budget by 2023.
Ryan, who along with most congressional Republicans blasted the President for insisting on what they argued were tax increases as part of that deal, conceded that he's now using that revenue -- hundreds of billions of dollars - to put together his budget.
"We're not going to refight that fight," he said.
In a prebuttal to the budget that Senate Democrats are preparing to put out next week Ryan told reporters to "watch the games."
He pointed to a "war gimmick" and a "Sandy gimmick" he believed Senate Democrats would use to argue they were rolling out a plan that would significantly reduce the deficit. The Congressional Budget Office assumes the costs for the war in Afghanistan, which is winding down, and the Hurricane Sandy cleanup continue for 10 years, and Ryan predicted Democrats would use those budgetary assumptions to inflate how much they're really saving.
"Claiming spending cuts from war fighters who are never asking for spending, claiming spending cuts from hurricanes that haven't occurred or claiming spending cuts that were passed in the past are not new spending cuts," Ryan argued.
Ryan pledged his budget would not assume any of those savings -- what he referred to as "fake money." He maintained his budget would be "honest" and "more importantly the bond markets can't be fooled."
The Wisconsin Republican also noted that he was also not counting savings from the forced spending cuts that were part of the 2011 debt deal as new savings because they are also part of current law.
But even before Ryan or his Senate Budget Committee counterpart, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, formally unveil their budget blueprints next week most members on both sides of the aisle concede the two chambers will be highly unlikely to reconcile their fiscal plans this spring. Effectively budgets are political messaging documents, and much of the work will fall to tax and spending committees.
But Ryan said the fact that both chambers were giving dueling plans was a good sign.
"I do have hope and it is my hope that we can get back to regular order. The Senate is finally doing a budget the President hasn't, but the Senate is and it is my hope that we can start talking to each other and start solving some problems," Ryan said.

Kuakini Medical Center installed a new nuclear medicine imaging system that provides more comfort for patients while maintaining the same high quality images that enable physicians to make accurate diagnoses of diseases of the brain, heart, other organs and bones.
The new GE Discovery NM630 scanner incorporates advanced Elite NXT detectors that offer SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) resolution and exceptional contrast for clearer images. It reduces patients' exposure to radiation by 50% and the imaging time from 18 to 10 minutes. The machine's multi-axis movement makes scans quick and efficient while the real-time, infrared-guided automatic contouring enables precise and accurate scanning, regardless of the patient's body type or physical limitations.
Other recent additions and upgrades in the Imaging Services department include:
- An Ultra Low Dose GE 64-slice CT scanner with new Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (ASiR) technology, which dramatically reduces the radiation dose to the patient by approximately 50% while achieving the same sharp image quality.
- A new Faxitron biopsy/specimen X-ray machine, which reduces the wait time for biopsy results from 15 minutes to one minute.
- A new additional Ultrasound suite, which helps expand the scheduling of ultrasound procedures and allows the staff to accommodate an additional 10 or more patients each day.
- An in-office PACS/Cerner access, which allows physicians to instantly and remotely transmit and retrieve patients' images to and from Kuakini's Imaging Archive.
- Improved MRI scan protocols and upgrades in software, which help produce better image quality.
For physicians who need to obtain pre-authorization, the Imaging Services department has also set up a new Insurance Pre-Authorization Service that is available from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. For forms and questions regarding this service, call Imaging Services at 547-9545.

Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer - one of the "Gang of Eight" senators working toward a bipartisan immigration overhaul on Capitol Hill - said Sunday he was not "upset" with a recently leaked draft of the president's own immigration bill.
At the same time, however, Schumer said real change will only occur if revamping immigration policy is done in a bipartisan fashion.
"It's obvious that if a Democrat, the president or anyone else, puts out what they want on their own, it's going to be different than when you have a bipartisan agreement," he said on CNN's "State of the Union." "But the only way we're going to get something done is with a bipartisan agreement."
Last month CNN reported that President Obama was working on his own backup legislation, a measure the president has said he's prepared to introduce should Congress fail to act.
USA Today reported Saturday that the administration was sending a draft proposal to various federal agencies. An administration official told CNN the specifics of the plan were accurate as of the last draft this official had seen.
The draft included an eight-year path to permanent residency, and eventually citizenship, for undocumented immigrants.
A second administration official noted to CNN that the various drafts contain different proposals, but USA Today reported this particular draft included a criminal background check, paying any back taxes owed, an English and U.S. history requirement, and a proposed new "Lawful Prospective Immigrant" visa.
The draft also included increases to the border security and legal process and expansion of the E-Verify system to check employability of potential hires.
Schumer and the other three Democrats and four Republicans in the congressional "gang" have said they plan to release a draft version of their bill next month - a framework for which they unveiled in January. A similar effort is under way in the House.
CNN has reported that some senior Democratic members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus have met with the president and asked him not to introduce his own bill, saying such a move could interrupt delicate negotiations on Capitol Hill.
And the president met with the four Democrats in the "Gang of Eight" at the White House on Wednesday. Schumer said during the meeting, the president "agreed to give (them) the space (they) need to come up with a bipartisan proposal."
"So we're working well together," Schumer told CNN's chief political correspondent Candy Crowley.
Schumer also added that White House officials said "when this leak occurred - and I don't know how it occurred - that it wasn't their final or complete bill."
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, however, was not so pleased with the leak, saying in a statement late Saturday night that the bill would be dead on arrival and that "it's a mistake for the White House to draft immigration legislation without seeking input from Republican members of Congress."
"President Obama's leaked immigration proposal is disappointing to those of us working on a serious solution," Rubio added.
Other Republicans took issue with the leak, including Sen. John McCain, another member of the "Gang of Eight," who said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that "leaks don't happen in Washington by accident." And Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky argued the leak shows that the president is "really not serious" on getting immigration reform passed.
"When they come out and adamantly say my way or the highway and, if Congress doesn't ask, I'll put it on the desk and say, pass it now - that's no way to get it done," Paul said on "Fox News Sunday." "Then he'll blame it on us and it seems to me, to show that really the president doesn't want immigration reform."
The White House, however, contends that the administration was not using the leak to float proposals and was surprised to learn that draft language had been given to the press.
Responding to Rubio's response, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said on ABC's "This Week" that the White House has been "talking with all the parties to the Gang of Eight effort in the Senate."
"We have our staff working this very aggressively with their staff and with the members and working this very aggressively," he continued. "Let's make sure (the White House bill) doesn't have to be proposed and make sure the Gang of Eight makes good progress on these efforts as much as they say they want to."
In fact, an aide to Rubio told CNN that the White House emailed Rubio's office "late last night to say the USA Today leak was inadvertent."
Schumer acknowledged Sunday that he did not know the details of the president's plan, but painted an optimistic picture nonetheless, saying he doubted the leak of the president's draft bill would derail efforts on Capitol Hill.
"I know that Sen. Rubio was upset with this leak. I am not upset. We've talked to Sen. Rubio and he is fully on board with our process," Schumer said. "I am very hopeful that in March we will have a bipartisan bill."

I say "just" not to trivialize it, but to distinguish that effort from IP review and release.
If you're talking about the audio driver (not our area but maybe we can help) the spec I was talking about was Intel HD Audio aka Azalia. I was told there was an update to the public spec in 2010 which added multichannel support but I haven't had a chance to look at the actual docs yet.
