Long-Distance Caregiving
In This Article:
It's pretty rare these days for immediate family members to be living in one place. When you add on the remarriages of parents and adult children, it gets even more complicated. If your parents live far away, making sure that they are being taken care of presents its own set of problems. But with thoughtful planning and smart advance work, you can be very effective at being the good son or daughter they deserve.
Advance Work
Advance teams for political campaigns can make or break an event—and a candidate. It's their job to scope out the town, know the hot-button issues in that community, get everybody's name right, know who to invite, and brief the candidate. You'll need to do somewhat of the same. Think of it as your parents' campaign to make it on their own. They're the candidates and you're the advance team. Here's what you do:
Silver Lining
If your parent is on a limited income or frets over the costs of long-distance bills, consider getting an 800 number so Mom or Dad will feel free to call you.
- Get to know the neighbors. Identify one or two neighbors whom you trust who will look in on your parent on a regular basis. Exchange phone numbers so that you can call them if you become concerned about your mom or dad, and they can call you. If you and your parent are comfortable with the arrangement, give them a set a keys. Make sure the neighbor's phone number is programmed on your parent's phone, so he or she is just a button away from fast access.
- Get to know the mail carrier. The mail carrier is in a position to notice if Mom or Dad has stopped picking up the mail. Many post offices and utility companies have elder-watch programs that will alert the area agency on aging to contact family members if they suspect a problem. Contact the area agency on aging to sign your parent up for such a program.
- Get to know the bankers. Maybe it's a good thing, after all, that our parents' generation still likes the good old human touch of a bank teller and bank manager. An ATM machine sure won't give you a call that Mom or Dad has been asking to take out large sums of money. Or that a stranger accompanied them when he opened his safety deposit box. Introduce yourself to the banking staff and give them your phone number to call you if they think something is amiss.
- Get to know your parent's best friends. My husband and I both have mothers who live alone in Phoenix. We're in Philadelphia. We have a list of friends for each of our Mom's and when we go to visit, we make it a point to keep up with their friends. We've each had occasions to call those friends when our moms needed help until we could get there. Our moms are both in pretty good health, active, and independent. Yet, when they have the flu or a medical problem hits, it's good to call on some friends who will get groceries, fix some chicken soup, and look in on them. They can also become your eyes and ears, alerting you to changes and concerns that you won't pick up in a phone call or even during a short visit. They'll be more inclined to open up to you if you've developed a relationship with them, too. So, include them on a visit and bring a plant or flowers to show your appreciation.
- Get to know the community services. Call the local United Way to get a directory of community services in your parent's area. Call the local senior center to find out what services are available for your parent. And of course, get the phone number of the area agency on aging. Be sure to save all of their background material and place it in your folder (see "How to Get Organized for Health Care"). Get to know the eligibility criteria prior to actually needing the service. That way you won't lose precious time or be "in the dark" as to what is available to your parent when the need hits.
- Get to know the home health services network. You'll need to get to know the home health services network available to your parent, so that when Mom or Dad need it you can spring into action. If your parent is using home health care, be sure to call every day to get a report on how he or she is doing.
- Bring home the phone book! A good advance team has everybody's phone numbers. So next time you're visiting, bring back an extra copy of your parents' local phone book. The Yellow Pages are especially helpful.
- Set up a chore services network. If your parents need help mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, walking the dog, or keeping up with minor house repairs, see if there is a neighbor or local college student who can be paid to help out. If you need to go a more formal route, contact the area agency on aging to see if they can identify someone for you.

Concrete Block House #2
Individual Landmark
Address: 2611 Third Street North
Neighborhood: Hawthorne
Construction Date: 1885
Contractor: Union Stone & Building Company
Architect: S. Littlefield
Architectural Style: Concrete Block
Historic Use: Private Residence
Current Use: Private Residence
Date of Local Designation: 1984
Date of National Designation: N/A
Area of Significance: Architecture, Invention
Period of Significance: 1880-1899, 1900-
Historic Profile: In 1885, real estate entrepreneur, William N. Holway, formed the Union Stone and Building Company in Minneapolis. Their largest contribution to the city was a cluster of concrete block houses and rowhouses on the north-side of Minneapolis between 3 rd and 4 th Streets and 26 th Avenue North. Eight houses as well as an eleven unit rowhouse remain as examples of the very early use of concrete blocks as an artistic architectural material. In her article, "Early Development of the Artistic Concrete Block," Ann Gillespie states that the introduction of pre-cast concrete into North America occurred in the late 1860s. Even though the new building material offered the advantages of being easily formed to resemble natural stone at a considerably lower price, the widespread use of concrete blocks in residential structures was never widely embraced. The community developed by William Holway is an exception. Although the buildings were designed by individual architects, they all share similar stylistic elements -- two and one half stories featuring side hall plans rectangular fenestration and roofs of multi-gable variety with ornamented primary façade dormers. All of the houses, with the exception of one, have retained their original concrete exteriors and merit their historic status.
Description: Two and one-half story; vernacular Queen Anne Style; painted cast concrete block construction; two story wood addition to primary façade obscures original design.

Butter Cookies Recipe
How time flies.
It was just like yesterday when the world was gearing up for Y2K bug and the potential millennium meltdown; fast forward 10 years, we are counting down to 2010, and 45 days left on 2009.
It's almost that time of year again.
I might be slightly early this year in terms of baking, but I have good reasons. I am entering this post to Bon Appetit's Blog Envy Holiday Bake-Off event. I baked some butter cookies, using a traditional Malaysian cookie recipe—Malay kuih semperit. Kuih semperit are commonly served during Muslim festivities in Malaysia.
What's so great about this butter cookies recipe? They are sweet, buttery, extremely crumbly, light, and airy. They make a great dessert for the upcoming holidays.

love the cookies but is there anything else beside these that you made. i'm looking for something different.
Oh yum, they are so small and cute… great for gift giving :)
just wanted to know what is SPRAY?
I love a goof butter cookie – delicate, light golden and full of childhood memories. I feel like baking them right away.
Sounds so wonderful. Good luck on the contest!
How on earth does one measure cooking spray? Seems impossible? Could you substitute another oil? Those cookies look so cute and yummy.
these will make lovely gifts :) , plus great for kids to make looks cute :)
Those cookies look lovely!
These cookies are so beautiful, and a great for stocking stuffers!
Yum! Yum, and looks easy to make!
they look delicious and perfectly baked!
These cookies are so cute! They look delicious!
great to know you're baking something sweet :D
Good luck on the contest. These not only look delicious but too cute to eat! Who can say no to Butter cookies… Yummy :-)
Just wondering, how many does this recipe make? And what size are your cutters?
And thank you for weight measurements! Flour can be tricky. I ended up with a strange [but delicious] shortbread rendition once.
Is full cream milk the same as whole milk?
Perfect timing…I was looking for a good cookie recipe!!!
these look very yummy. i love good butter cookies too!
Had just found your blog & I am thoroughly enjoying it. If we don't have the spray, can we omit it or replace with margarine?
I was confused abt all purpose flour…is it plain flour?
I have tried to butter cookies recipes so far. One from the joy of baking website and another from a blog i chanced upon. the 2nd recipe only called for flour, butter and egg and caster sugar. And personally, i feel that it tasted better. it has a stronger butter taste, not covered by the taste from the vanilla extract. I am also very intrigued by how the proportions of the ingredients are so different. Anyone care to explain? And maybe someone could try the recipe too? Would like to listen to more opinions from others. Looking forward to ur replies!
here is the recipe: http://playkeen.blogspot.com/2009/01/disney-and-sanrio-friends.html
Just a suggestion… USE DRY WEIGHT!!! so troublesome for people who don't have a weigher
I made this today. half the portion. They are wonderful!!! Melts in your mouth!!! Can't wait to make more of these.
I have tried your recipe. It's great. I always looked forward to Hari Raya when I was young because of this butter cookies. Yummilicious.
I have omitted the spray instead. Will try to substitute it with margarine the next batch.
By the way, did you use unsalted butter or salted butter? I tried with unsalted one. Is it the right one? The batter is too soft to cut with the cutters and I ended up using free hand. How did you manage to the shape so perfectly? I tried cooling it in the fridge but to no avail. It softened faster than I can finish the whole procedure.
I tried again this evening and it's still the same. Can't cut nicely with the cutters. I think it's the cutter's problem. This time, I used the silicone cake mould. I need to bake twice. The 2nd time I removed them from the mould and bake again for another 15 mins. It worked.
How long did you beat the batter with the mixer? Does the duration and the speed of the mixer affect the batter? Everything turned out nice – tasty and melting in the mouth. But it's too soft and light that it breaks easily. I beat the sugar batter in high speed until it turned pale yellow. Then another 10 mins for the final mixing. Is it correct? I'm sorry for so many questions. I'm a novice in baking.
Thanks. My daughter enjoy to do this cookies.
I can't find the converter for the measurements. This recipe looks so yummy by the way!
what do you mean cream butter with spray? What if I don't have spray? How do I complete the 1st step?
wow! i like the pictures u posted! question, is butter cookies the same as sugar cookies?
Your recipe sounds good. I love how the cornstarch makes the cookies tender. I've never seen a cookie recipe requiring cooking spray mixed into the dough.
Did you not find that you need to dip the cutters into flour between use? I would think they would get a bit sticky between cookies.
okay I tried to converted the oz to cup of butter on the conversion tool but it wouldn't let.. HElp!
Can I use 2% milk instead of whole, I don't use whole milk so don't want to buy gallon or half just for 2 tblspns. Thinking of making these tomorrow, so immediate help needed?
Would like to ask 3 oz of icing sugar for the recipe right? confuse about how much of sugar? is it all using icing sugar or use caster sugar? what is the different between it.
Your cookies and cakes look heaven sent. I am in awe at how amazing these look. What a gift! My birthday is the 3rd and I would kill for an almond cake like the one above.
Can i use Wheat flour instead of All purpose flour… as i want these cookies for my 18 mts old boy.
Love your blog? 2 questions. 1) Can I substitute 1tbsp Pam cooking spray with 1 tbsp canola oil? 2) if omit 1 tbsp Pam spray, will the dough be dry and hence affect end product? TIA.
When you mentioned cream butter with spray,sugar,egg yolk and vanilla extract until fluffy, can I use the electric mixter to do it?
U mentioned cream butter with spray,sugar,egg yolk,salt and vanilla extract until fluffy, is it suppose to use those electric mixer for make cake? After which add in milk and mix well using the electric mixer? Your reply is greatly appreciated. I can't wait to bake it for my sons. Thks
are these old islamic? im doing a schoold project and i was wondering if this would work
Want to make some, but please can you tell me what can I use instead of egg as I am allergic to eggs.
can I use corn flour instead of corn starch
OMG, I tried making these and they came out light and crumbly! Its incredible. Can't stop eating them. Thank you for a great recipe.

Molecular Biology of the CellAuthor:
Bruce Alberts, Alexander Johnson, Julian Lewis, Martin Raff, Keith Roberts, Peter Walter
3 Customer Product Reviews
Edition: 5
Pub Date: 2007
Publisher: Garland Science
Summary: For nearly a quarter century Molecular Biology of the Cell has been the leading cell biology textbook. This tradition continues with the new Fifth Edition, which has been completely revised and updated to describe our current, rapidly advancing understanding of cell biology. to list but a few examples, a large amount of new material is presented on epigenetics; stem cells; RNAi; comparative genomics; the latest cance...r therapies; apoptosis (now its own separate chapter); and cell cycle control and the mechanics of M phase (now integrated into one chapter).The hallmark features of Molecular Biology of the Cell have been retained, such as its consistent and comprehensive art program, clear concept headings, and succinct section summaries. Additionally, in response to extensive feedback from readers, the Fifth Edition now includes several new features.It is now more portable. Chapters 1-20 are printed and Chapters 21-25, covering multicellular systems, are provided as pdf files on the free Media DVD-ROM which accompanies the book.* and for the first time, Molecular Biology of the Cell now contains end-of-chapter questions. These problems, written by John Wilson and Tim Hunt, emphasize a quantitative approach and the art of reasoning from experiments, and they will help students review and extend their knowledge derived from reading the textbook. The Media DVD-ROM, which is packaged with every copy of the book, contains PowerPoint® presentations with all of the figures, tables and micrographs from the text (available as JPEGs too). Also included is the Media Player, which plays over 125 movies'animations, videos, and molecular models'all with voiceover narration. A new reader-friendly feature is the integration of media codes throughout the text that link directly to relevant videos and animations on the enclosed Media DVD-ROM. The Media DVD-ROM holds the multicellular systems chapters (21-25) of the text as well.By skillfully extracting the fundamental concepts from this enormous and ever-growing field, the authors tell the story of cell biology, and thereby create a coherent framework through which readers may approach and enjoy this subject that is so central to all of biology.* There is also a reference edition of Molecular Biology of the Cell, Fifth Edition (ISBN 0-8153-4111-3) that contains Chapters 1-25 entirely in printed format.

this book is a GREAT resource, I hated to let it go!read more
This really helped me get a jump on my studies for medical school.
The least helpful part of this book were the questions in the back of the book and the figures. I felt that the questions were very vague and the figures were to heavy they could have been more clear.read more
The actual text of the book was very helpful and explained the concepts very well.
I learned a lot of detailed concepts centered on important molecular and cellular biological processes.read more
The figures are amazing. They have helpful diagrams and are legible.

I am a board-certified pathologist with expertise in soft tissue sarcoma and bone tumors. After my fellowships in oncologic pathology and sarcoma research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I joined the faculty in 1999. As part of the sarcoma disease management team, I work alongside colleagues from surgery, medical oncology, and radiation therapy to care for patients with these very complicated diseases. My role is to establish accurate pathologic diagnosis, grading, and staging. These analyses guide treatment decisions. We have extensive expertise in diagnosing even the rarest forms of these tumors. Findings from molecular and genetics tests are usually incorporated within the pathology report for a more refined classification.
My research interests are focused on detection and molecular characterization of prognostic markers in soft tissue sarcomas, with particular emphasis on the molecular mechanisms and drug resistance in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), angiosarcoma, and a genetic subset of soft tissue sarcoma known as translocation-associated soft tissue sarcoma.
I have authored more than 160 peer-reviewed publications and lectured nationally and internationally.
I am fluent in English, French, and Romanian.

Current Monkees Tour Was To Include All Four Members
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Although some fans thought it was odd for Mike Nesmith to decide to tour with the Monkees once Davy Jones was dead, Micky Dolenz says that plans were in the works for a four-man tour last year. Nesmith, who has passed on most of the Monkees reunion tours, barring an ill-fated 1997 UK run, also sat out last year's 45th anniversary tour. Davy Jones died on February 29th at age 66 of a heart attack.
Dolenz, who along with Nesmith and Peter Tork, is currently on the road delivering a hit-packed and deep cut show, told The Ventura County Star how the current trek came to happen: "At the end of last year, we'd already started talking about other projects. One was an idea about doing (our 1967 album) Headquarters in its entirety. It sounded like a great idea. But then the holidays came along, and when David passed away in February, it looked like everything was going to come to a standstill."
He went on to explain, "Mike and Peter and I were here in Los Angeles, and everyone wanted us to do a memorial concert. We tried to figure out where we would do it because David had friends and family all over the place. So that and the Headquarters idea evolved into a 12-city tour. Though we're not calling it the 'Davy Jones Memorial Tour,' he will definitely be remembered and there will be a tribute and homage to him."
Micky Dolenz told us that out of the four, he and Davy Jones shared a particularly strong bond: "David and I hung out together, we had similar backgrounds, so we tended to gravitate toward each other, 'cause I guess for the show-business; but also, we had children. We got married and had children at the same time in Los Angeles."
Dolenz explained that cross-promoting the Monkees using all the popular mediums of the day was a cutting edge marketing technique that paved the way for how all future pop bands would eventually be sold: "The thing the Monkees did was -- the project, not us, four guys -- but the Monkees 'project,' was really the first time that the television and radio and record industry had sort of had this convergence. There'd been slight, little bits of crossover here and there; people like Ricky Nelson, y'know, and like, Paul Peterson from The Donna Reed Show, um, but not nearly to the level that happened with the Monkees."
The Monkees tour dates (subject to change):
November 29 - Glenside, PA - Keswick Theatre
November 30 - New Brunswick, NJ - State Theatre
December 1 - Huntington, NY - The Paramount
December 2 - New York, NY - The Beacon Theatre

How to Select
How to select tower fans
Selecting a new fan can become a very complicated and time consuming process, especially when you do not know where to start. This article will guide you through the main aspects that should be considered and will help you select the tower fan that will satisfy your needs the most.
Equipping your room with a tower fan has many benefits to offer. First of all, you'll be able to receive great air flow from a compact and efficient unit. Because of the oscillating features of such devices, they are able to distribute the air flow for 90 degrees from a stationary location. You will not need to move such a fan nor will it require any additional installation. If you are looking not only for cool but also fresh air, you should consider buying a device with an ionization option.
When selecting a tower fan, first question you should answer is how much space do you want it to affect? Depending on the cooling area a capacity should be chosen. This step is really simple to complete, the larger the area, the more circulation power your future fan should offer.
The next thing you might want to consider is the sound the tower fan produces while operating. Generally, such devices are manufactured to produce the least noise possible. This makes them a perfect addition to any room, especially a bedroom or a nursery.
Easy operation is yet other useful feature to consider. The easier the operation, the more comfortable and enjoyable your fan will be. Multiple functionality can be helpful when the fan is installed in a large room or an office. For example, you might want it to have remote control, programmable operation or various levels of oscillation but such features depend on your needs only.
One of the greatest things about such devices, along with their efficient and reliable operation, is their unusual construction and design. The tower fans that are offered today become an additional decoration for your room, complementing its décor while also cooling the surroundings and making it more enjoyable during summer.
When selecting a tower fan, some of the following questions may arise:
How easy are they to operate?
The more features your tower fan offers, the more daunting it is to operate. However, there is nothing scary about this device when you know exactly what each button on the control panel does. Using a smartphone is way more challenging but everyone seems to succeed in it.
What about portability?
Additional mobility of a tower fan will not do you any harm. If you plan to use it in multiple rooms, portability is definitely the feature to look for.
How safe is a tower fan?
All of the fans and similar devices were and are designed with safety in mind. Because of their unique construction and vertical operation, tower fans offer additional levels of safety.

Experience an exhilarating blend of vibrant culture, thriving nightlife and glorious beaches on Barcelona city breaks.
Wenn Sie mit British Airways fliegen, genießen Sie preisgekrönten Service und ein ausgezeichnetes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und müssen keine versteckten Zusatzgebühren fürchten.
Experience an exhilarating blend of vibrant culture, thriving nightlife and glorious beaches on Barcelona city breaks.
A trip to Barcelona blends a chic city, full of intriguing architecture, with beautiful beaches. This vibrant, yet charming destination will entice you with its eclectic mix of things to do.
From the stunning beaches to the cosmopolitan shopping areas and unique dining and nightlife, Barcelona is a fantastic choice for beach holidays, family getaways and short breaks. Spend your days sightseeing and your nights embracing the exquisite Catalan cuisine and diverse evening entertainment. Each area has its own character and history, from the Roman remains of Barri Gotic to the modern skyscrapers of Port Olimpic.
A stroll along La Rambla is a ritual well worth observing. Soak up the atmosphere and architecture as you go. Feast your eyes on some of Gaudi's most famous masterpieces; from the World Heritage site Casa Mila, with its impressive 360 views, to possibly his most treasured building, La Sagrada Familia - a spectacular sight at night.
You'll find something for all tastes in Barcelona's tapas bars. These delicious nibbles will tide you over until dinner, which is not traditionally eaten until late evening. Many places also serve a leisurely three-course lunch; it's the perfect way to sample traditional delicacies, accompanied by wine from the Penedès region.
Alongside the public art and world-class architecture, you'll also find an array of galleries and museums. From the Museu de la Catedral, which encapsulates the city's history and modern art throughout the centuries, to Fundacio Joan Miro - which houses the most important collection of works by Joan Miro. This magnificent Mediterranean-style building, designed by Josef Lluis, makes its own artistic statement.
Traditional tea lounges and beer houses rub shoulders with fashionable restaurants and intimate bars in Barri Gotic. Dance the night away in Poble Nou or lose yourself in the narrow streets of Gracia. If you dine late, as the Spanish do, go on for an evening of live music at a club or bar. They'll be open until 'madrugada' – a flexible hour meaning 'whenever the customers go home'.
Enjoy a city break with a difference on Barcelona's fantastic beaches. Combine days of sightseeing or shopping with an afternoon at the beach or a lazy brunch on the water's edge at Port Olimpic. The golden sands and shallow waters make the city's beaches ideal for everyone. Laze in the sunshine or keep busy at one of the livelier beaches.
Lassen Sie sich diese fantastische Gelegenheit nicht entgehen, um auf dieser selbstgeführten Tour durch das Camp Nou Fußballstadion des Barcelona FCs die Spuren legendärer Spieler aus der Gegenwart und Vergangenheit zu verfolgen. Dieses Ticket umfasst außerdem Prioritäts-Eintritt zum Fußballmuseum von Barcelona, wo Sie eine Panoramaaussicht über das Stadion haben und die Geschichte dieser legendären Fußballmannschaft kennenlernen. Ergreifen Sie diese einmalige Gelegenheit, um den Fußstapfen berühmter Spieler, wie z.B. Kubala, Cruyff, Maradona, Guardiola und Ronaldinho zu folgen.
The hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour is a convenient and affordable way of seeing Barcelona. There are three different tour routes to follow onboard this open-top, double-decker bus, covering all the major sights. The Tour Guide will answer any questions and provide you with up-to-the-minute information to help you make the most of your visit. You can hop-on and off as many times as you like at any of the 45 stops.
Feel the passion of flamenco at Barcelona's legendary Tablao Cordobes, where some of the greatest names have performed. As you are entertained by an internationally renowned flamenco group, you'll discover why the traditional dance of Spain is so popular. This show reveals the variety of the music, singing and dancing that is incorporated in this passionate art form. Improvisation is a key element of flamenco, with each artist individually interpreting the rhythm and communicating the beat.
Spend a full day seeing all the highlights of Barcelona, including Barcelona Cathedral, Gothic Quarter, Port Olimpic, Picasso Museum and buildings created by Barcelona's famous architect Antoni Gaudí. Enjoy a complimentary glass of Cava at the Poble Espanyol or 'Spanish Village' and take in a bird's-eye view of the Barcelona skyline on a cable car from Montjuic. See the classic sights of Barcelona in the morning, then after lunch explore the city's artistic side. You'll see the best of Barcelona, old and new, in one day.
If time is limited and you'd like to travel beyond Barcelona, this full-day tour gives you a delicious taste of both the city and further afield. Start the morning with a tour to Montserrat's Royal Basilica, before spending the afternoon exploring Barcelona's special artistic heritage - including a visit to Sagrada Familia.

Eagles gets their man in N.H.'s Kelly
Thursday, January 17, 2013
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — In the end, Chip Kelly chose the NFL, giving the Eagles their guy.
The Eagles are known to have interviewed 11 candidates, including two meetings with Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley. All along, Kelly was thought to be Philadelphia's first choice in a long, exhaustive process that took many twists.
''It's a very difficult decision for me. It took me so long to make it just because the people here are special,'' Kelly told KEZI-TV. ''The challenge obviously is exciting for me, but it's an exciting time and it's a sad time - saying goodbye to people you love and respect, and I wanted to make sure I talked to my players and did it in the right fashion and talked to our staff. I feel I did.''
Kelly originally went to Oregon in 2007 as offensive coordinator under Mike Bellotti. Before that, he was offensive coordinator at New Hampshire, where he started devising the innovative hurry-up offense the Ducks are known for now.
''We've cooperated fully with them,'' he said. ''If they want to talk to us again, we'll continue to cooperate fully. I feel confident in the situation.''
''I've never run the zone read,'' Foles said after the season. ''I'm more of a dropback guy. I've been under center. I've been in the gun. If I can adapt, I want to. But I'm not a zone-read quarterback. Some people are gifted with different things. That's just not one of my skill sets. I can work on the speed in the offseason and get better with that. But I've always been a dropback guy in the pocket. I've been able to make plays on my feet throwing the ball or running for a first down.''
Others interviewed by Lurie, Roseman and Smolenski were former Bears coach Lovie Smith, Atlanta assistants Mike Nolan and Keith Armstrong, former Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden.

Glaucoma encompasses several conditions that cause optic neuropathy, or damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma affects an estimated 60 million people worldwide—making it the second leading cause of blindness worldwide according to the World Health Organization. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common form of glaucoma; it is associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP), also known as ocular hypertension, which may in turn lead to retinal ganglion cell death and optic neuropathy. Secondary glaucoma occurs as a complication of eye surgeries, injuries, infections, or other ophthalmic conditions. Glaucoma may even occur without increased IOP in normal tension glaucoma. Many kinds of glaucoma have strong genetic and/or environmental risk factors, and any form of the disease can cause irreversible blindness if left untreated.
The most common forms of glaucoma have complex inheritance patterns that seem to involve multiple genetic and environmental factors. Research programs in glaucoma investigate risk factors for glaucoma, as well as methods for early disease detection and novel therapeutics. By identifying genes associated with glaucoma, scientists hope to develop screening tests that allow rapid risk assessment and targeted treatment. The emerging importance of environmental cues may also lead to new strategies for preventing or averting this potentially blinding disease.

Military C-130 MAFFS airtankers drop on the Hough Complex
|A C-130 MAFFS from the California Air National Guard drops retardant near the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway on the Mountain Fire. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Nicholas Carzis.
Feather Publishing
Two C-130 MAFFS airtankers were used on the Hough Complex fires around noon on Monday. These aircraft are operated by the Air National Guard in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service.
Click here to see a cockpit video of a C-130 MAFFS making a drop on the American Fire on August 17. You can hear the lead plane pilot guide the C-130 pilot into the fire drop zone.
Some interesting facts about the Modular Airborne FireFighting System (MAFFS) airtankers:
- Operating one of the eight MAFFS aircraft costs $5,000 to $6,000 per hour. This is paid by the U.S. Forest Service or is charged to the fire.
- After the crash of MAFFS 7 on the White Draw Fire near Edgemont, South Dakota in 2012, the "MAFFS 7″ number was retired.
- The retardant is pumped out of the 3,000-gallon tank by compressed air stored in two tanks at 1,200 psi.
- The MAFFS units were contracted by the U.S. Forest Service and manufactured by the Aero Union company in Chico.
- The military personnel working on a MAFFS aircraft typically fly for seven days, and then are relieved by a replacement crew.
- The U.S. Forest Service supplies the ground support and retardant loading personnel when MAFFS are activated.
The C-130s reloaded in Chico following their drops. While awaiting further orders, they were diverted to a new fire on the Stanislaus National Forest. It is not know if they will return to help with the fires on the Plumas.

Caterpillar House
Joe Fletcher Photography
At 2,800 square feet, the Caterpillar house is modestly sized compared to other homes in the Carmel area. Its elongated east-west footprint maximizes passive solar orientation while offering a nod to its ranch-house inspiration. "A great combination of performance and style," the jury said.
The south-facing roof over the living room/dining room/kitchen provides space for the 8-kW solar array, while the slope opens up the room to northern views.
Rammed-earth walls on the exterior and interior are shaded to remain cool in the summer; in winter, the sun warms the walls, which slowly release heat into the home.
The 27,300-gallon rainwater collection system accommodates all of the property's irrigation needs.
Opening glass walls provide a deep indoor-outdoor connection while promoting cross-ventilation.
The kitchen includes Energy Star-rated appliances, custom cabinetry made with FSC-certified white oak, and recycled-content composite quartz countertops.
The house was built on 35% fly ash footings with FSC-certified 24-inch-o.c. wood framing.

Caterpillar House solar and ventilation diagrams
On a bluff in the Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel, Calif., the Caterpillar House sits as a striking example of how sustainable goals, client needs, traditional values, and modern design can come together to form a house as beautiful and functional as the breathtaking land surrounding it.
Among the homeowner's wishes were features in tune with her eco-minded principles and a design that reflected the ideals of the Cliff May ranch house she grew up in. To embody the spirit of that style, the team incorporated some of its core elements, including low roof lines, an informal entry, and a casual floor plan that revolves around the kitchen, and modernized it into an elegant interpretation that is open and airy, with a more graceful shape and expanses of glass that take in the surrounding property.
Accommodating that much glass while still achieving performance levels 49% above Title 24-code guidelines required creativity and careful planning. The elongated, slightly curved east-west layout maximizes passive solar gain, while concrete floors and carefully placed rammed-earth walls act as a thermal mass; trellises and overhangs shade the south- and west-facing low-E windows. These features, combined with ceiling fans and optimal cross ventilation, eliminated the need for air conditioning and allowed for only zoned radiant floor heating. The south-facing roof over the living room accommodates an 8-kW solar array while opening up the space to northern views.
The client's willingness to incorporate more elaborate green features—along with her desire for a lush landscape and garden—allowed for a 27,300-gallon rainwater harvesting system to support 100% of site irrigation. All plantings are native and drought-tolerant and 98% of the site is permeable.
"I really love how much of the client is in this house," says architect Jonathan Feldman, AIA. "I love how simple and pure the forms are and at the same time how well the building functions."
Caterpillar House, Carmel, Calif. | Size: 2,800 square feet | Cost: Withheld | Completed: January 2010 | Certification: LEED-Platinum | Architect: Feldman Architecture, San Francisco | Builder: Groza Construction, Monterey, Calif. | Verifier: Bright Green Strategies, Santa Cruz, Calif.

Using a mild solution of soap and warm water and gently scrubbing your jewellery with a soft-bristled brush is usually all that is required to maintain Palladium's natural beauty and lustre.
Palladium, one of the rarest metals in the world, is a member of the Platinum Group Metals. These metals are also referred to as "Noble Metals" due to their superior ability to withstand corrosion and oxidation.
Palladium, which is listed on the Periodic Table of elements, is lighter in weight than its sister metal, Platinum.
A naturally white metal, Palladium is hypoallergenic, will not tarnish and remains white forever. Palladium is 95% pure when used in jewellery, is extremely durable and does not require alloy metals and/or plating for protection, which ensures that it will remain white as long as you own your jewellery.

"Stay away from these shoes if you underpronate. I have been running for roughly 17 years and have almost used New Balance exclusively. I bought this shoes because I under pronate when I run. The shoes have a hard inside and soft outer so that when I run it makes my pronation even worse causing excessive rolling of my feet. I have even tried to use these shoes in the gym and cannot work legs with them because of how bad they force you foot to roll."

Storm Alert

Sponsored by: Desert Diamond Casino
Humidity 25%

Mar 14, 2012 5:39 PM
(NBC) - Maureen Russo was just 37-years-old when she lost her battle with cervical cancer.
"It was really hard to watch her slowly go downhill and leave her young kids behind," says Eileen Land, Maureen's sister.
Even though Maureen got annual pap smears to check for cervical cancer, doctors say her case was aggressive and an exception to the rule.
"It really does take years to see changes, and that it's highly unlikely to see changes from year to year when you've had a negative pap smear already," explains Dr. Ursula Matulonis, director of Gynecologic Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
That's why the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has issued new guidelines extending the time between pap tests.
"We're recommending that women ages 21 to 65 undergo screening every three years, and not for shorter intervals," says Dr. Wanda Nicholson.
The guidelines also recommend women under age 21 and women over 65 with a clean pap smear history not be tested at all.
Women in their 30s, 40s and 50s have an option to wait every five years if they combine their pap test with an HPV test and both come back negative.
Dr. Nicholson helped create the new guidelines and says fewer screenings will lead to fewer false positives.
"The issue with false positive tests is it exposes women to further testing, and also there's the potential of overtreatment, so women may undergo a procedure or treatment for a lesion that wouldn't otherwise progress to cancer," she explains.
Experts say women with concerns should talk to their doctor about their individual risks and whether they could benefit from more, or less, testing.
Whether these new guidelines will change how insurance companies cover pap smears and HPV tests is not known.

Hugs around for Dr. Samuels: Longtime physician honored for nearly 40 years of service
Monday, February 4, 2013
DOVER — Standing among a crowd of adoring patients as Dr. Bruce Samuels entered a surprise retirement party in his honor, Marion Eastwood waited patiently with her walker steadying her stance for the one thing she never left without in the more than 20 years of appointments at his office where she sought his care: a big hug.
"I waited tonight for a long time for a hug," she said.
His departure from practicing brought her, and many others, to tears Saturday. She is among a hefty number of patients who said they'll miss Samuels, for some the only doctor who could help them.
"If it hadn't been for him, I don't know ..." longtime patient Anita Landry said. She told Samuels that when he retired she wanted him as her own personal doctor.
Her mother, Eva Croteau, had also seen Samuels.
"He could tell her anything and she'd do it. He used to tell her, 'If you pray for me, I'll take care of you,'" she said.
Blanche Therrien said she saw Samuels for 25 years as her rheumatologist and doctor of internal medicine.
"I thought of him — and still do — as a very gifted doctor," she said.
"He's a very kind person. And I wish I could still have him," she said.
Like Landry and Eastwood, she said she'll definitely miss him.
"Very much so. But I hope he enjoys retirement," she said.
Paula Tsiorbas saw Samuels as her doctor for about 10 years.
"I just adore the man," Tsiorbas said.
He had helped her tremendously in dealing with rheumatoid arthritis.
"I think I might have been one of his younger patients because he used to call me 'kid,'" she said.
As guests mingled and recalled their memories of their experiences with Samuels, the line for one of his famous hugs remained steady at the front of the room where Samuels greeted each person with a warm and genuine smile.
When asked what was running through his mind as so many familiar faces surrounded him and a brilliant career came to a close, Samuels said it was the people he'd met along the way.
"Just that there are so many people that you make such deep relationships with," he said, still in awe that the gathering was all for him. He'd thought he was attending an anniversary party for friends Saturday evening.
Samuels said he didn't have much planned for his retirement just yet and that the idea of planning something to do was a bit novel since he's always been so busy practicing. Being able to not do anything for a while would be new to him.
"God willing we'll always be good friends for a long time to come," Decker said.

Perfect for Mom's birthday... September 11, 2013
Living far from family is difficult. Although Mom insisted on no gifts, I wanted to send something since I couldn't be there to celebrate her birthday. I was able to use my discount code and the cookies arrived as scheduled. Mom couldn't say enough about the beautiful boxes and delicious treats. It made the distance bearable. Whenever I have a question about an item on the Gift Tree site, the customer service is unbeatable: kind, clear, helpful, prompt, and polite via phone as well as email.

A whole lot of wonderful June 14, 2013
I sent this tower as a thank you to my mom and she loved it. Each layer of cookies were mixed flavors individually wrapped. Also included was a small pair of scissors to open the cookies which she loved. The cookies were moist and in perfect condition no crumbles. The containers the cookies come in are sturdy and she plans to use the containers for storage/decoration when the cookies are gone. Would definitely buy it again and recommend it.
