ALBION — Churubusco boys' track and field has come to like the track at Central Noble High School. Friday night was the another example. The Eagles blew out the field for a third consecutive season at the Central Noble Invitational. Garrett was the closest competitor back 46.5 points to the Eagles.

DECATUR — The Columbia City softball team opened its Northeast Hoosier Conference schedule on the road Friday night and came away with a 5-0 win against the Bellmont Lady Squaws. The Lady Eagles scored five runs but were led on the mound by junior Cassie Vodde who struck out 15 batters and allowed four hits. Vodde also added two hits at the plate.
SOUTH WHITLEY — There was no mistake about it Thursday's Whitley County track and field meet. It's a rivalry. "To be honest this is a bit of a rival," Whitko head coach Ron Cherry. "I think our kids took a lot of pride in winning tonight." While Columbia City girls' track enjoyed a win for the visitors, the Wildcats doubled up the Eagles squad 88-44.
SOUTH WHITLEY — Thursday's dreary weather couldn't stop a rivalry where both parties got to experience a victory. When a late afternoon shower canceled some events, the track and field doubleheader at South Whitley carried on with Whitko playing host to the girls and boys track teams from Columbia City. Whitko got its victory for the night on the boys side of the meet but the Columbia City Lady Eagles evened the score handing the Lady Wildcats a 97-35 loss to remain undefeated on the season.
COLUMBIA CITY — Anyone could tell the weather was a bit windy. There were whitecaps in the outfield. Even two straight weeks of rainy cold weather, leaky Thursday skies and standing water were not enough to keep the Columbia City Lady Eagles off the diamond at Morsches Park. Playing for the first time since April 13, the Columbia City Lady Eagles jumped out to an early lead and then held on against a late Manchester rally to take a 7-3 win.
COLUMBIA CITY — For four years Columbia City High School was fortunate enough to have Renee Menzie. But all good things must come to an end. Wednesday, while she attempts to finish out her career with a third team sectional title in track, Menzie signed her national letter of intent to run at Division I Lipscomb University (Nashville, TN).
ALBION — Under increasingly dark and wet skies, it was the Churubusco boys' track team that rained on three other schools competing in a Northeast Corner Conference four-way meet Wednesday at Central Noble High School. The Eagles downed the host Cougars 83-48, the Eastside Blazers 84-48, and the Prairie Heights Panthers by an 85-47 count.
The number of days canceled are starting to catch up with the amount of games played and for some teams it's surpassed. Heavy rain this week has kept the Whitley County sports schedule from having a full night of action. Keeping up with schedule changes has Friday as a day filled with make-ups. Both Columbia City baseball and softball teams will play.
COLUMBIA CITY — To call Tuesday night's weather blustery would be an understatement. In extremely windy conditions the Columbia City Lady Eagles and the Bellmont Squaws squared off in a Northeast Hoosier Conference tennis match. Despite a couple of close contests including a comeback at No. 2 doubles, the Lady Eagles extended their win streak to four matches in a 5-0 sweep of the visiting Squaws.

Sometimes you have to listen to your gut.
What's in the water at Northport?
It is widely believed that Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are autoimmune diseases causing inflammatory immune responses that damage the digestive system.
One alternative theory is that IBDs are not autoimmune diseases but immune deficiency diseases caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP). MAP prevents the immune system from properly ridding the body of it.
When reading the below story, which makes absolutely no mention of MAP, I couldn't help by think it might play a part. I read a paper by John Hermon-Taylor a couple years ago and it says that MAP is commonly found in milk and the Red River up in Winnipeg. I had swam in the river as a teenager and 4 months later my symptoms of Crohn's disease started.
Could something similar be happening to the people of Northport, WA? I hope to ask around and see what the people there think.
Study tracks reasons behind high rate of illness near Northport
Gail Leaden was 5 when she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. In high school, Leaden's best friend in the small town of Northport, Wash., was diagnosed with the same illness.
"It's not a common disease to begin with," said Leaden, 25, who now lives in Spokane. "How ironic that my best friend gets it."
Two doctors from Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital are looking into reports of high rates of bowel disease in Northport, a town of 330 near the Canadian border. In the general population, about 4 people per thousand are diagnosed with Crohn's or colitis.
"We should be expecting to see one or two cases for a town the size of Northport," said Dr. Sharyle Fowler, who will be working on the study.
The disease cluster, if it can be confirmed, could shed light on triggers for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, said Dr. Josh Korzenik, director of Massachusetts General's Crohn's and Colitis Center. No one knows what causes the diseases, which affect 1.5 million Americans, but both appear to have genetic and environmental contributors.
"We were drawn to this because it's an unusual cluster, or potential cluster, in a small population," Korzenik said.
Rates of Crohn's disease and colitis are on the upswing in industrialized countries.
About 320 current and former Northport residents provided health information. Thirty-six said they had ulcerative colitis; 18 said they had Crohn's disease.
Jamie Paparich suspects a link to the smelter. Her grandparents raised six children on a farm outside of Northport, about 15 miles downwind and downstream of the smelter owned by Teck Resources Ltd. For decades, the century-old smelter released tons of pollution daily into the air and the Columbia River, including mercury and other heavy metals.
Both her dad and her aunt, who grew up on the farm, were diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. They ate vegetables from the family's garden and swam in the Columbia River.
The families "weren't related by any stretch, yet we all had these same problems," said Kalamarides
Deane said the smelter has cleaned up its act. In 1995, the smelter stopped dumping slag, a byproduct of the smelting process, into the Columbia River. Slag contains 25 compounds, including heavy metals. The smelter also halted production of phosphate fertilizer, reducing mercury releases into the river.
Northport resident Barb Anderson thinks the community needs answers.
At Rockwood Clinic in Spokane, where the diagnosis was made, doctors were surprised that two of Kelsey's classmates had the same illness, said Barb Anderson. Leaden also remains troubled by the coincidence. It makes her suspect "that something's not right."

I was quite suprised when I got up on 1/2/09 around 12:45am and realized that it was snowing. This wasn't just any snow, these are the biggest snowflakes that I have ever seen. I went and took a picture of my car that is covered in snow. I noticed that a car had driven by and within 10 min you can't even see the car tracks. It is quite beautiful.

Kjekstad has impressive chops and a warm, resonant sound, which Smith's Hammond B-3 complements superbly, while Landham keeps perceptive and tasteful time. Alexander fits in snugly on his cameos, broadening the trio's horizons while adding spice to the basic recipe. As for role models, Kjekstad drops a broad hint with the inclusion of Wes Montgomery's ambling "Road Song, on which he pays homage to Wes's groundbreaking style. Rounding out the admirable program are the standards "The Way You Look Tonight, "Secret Love, "Laura and of course, "Autumn in New York. I was especially charmed by the swaying, Jobim-like treatment of "Secret Love, which embodies typically persuasive solos by Kjekstad and Smith.
There's nothing Scandinavian about this refreshing studio date save for the leader's name. You may not be able to pronounce it, but if you appreciate special talent that's all you need consider. Leave the rest to Kjekstad and Company, whose music speaks emphatically for itself.
Track Listing: The Way You Look Tonight; Sugar; Autumn in New York; Prospect Park S.W.; Secret Love; Brooklyn Bound; Laura; Road Song; Over Easy. (51:22)
Personnel: Frode Kjekstad, guitar; Dr. Lonnie Smith, Hammond B-3 organ; Eric Alexander (2,4,6,9), tenor sax; Byron Landham, drums.

Jarmere Jenkins almost loses to 56yr old in a $$ tournament
Mark Vines might be one of the best 55 yr old age division players in the World for ITF adults, and he showed it by almost beating the NCAA singles runner up and NCAA doubles winner.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Vines (Mark Vines (born February 23, 1957 in Richmond, Virginia, United States) is an American former tennis player. He won one singles title, the Paris Indoors tournament in 1981. Vines reached a career-high singles ranking of World No. 110 in April 1982.) They played a super breaker for the 3rd set because the draw was backed up due to rain and they needed to play 2 singles matches in a day, and doubles and mixed as well.

The title is a little misleading. The older gentleman was a former pro, and it looks like he kept playing tennis after his professional career. It is interesting to see this man take Jenkins to the limit. Is it a bad thing that he almost lost to him even though he is a Division 1 player? Not really. If he was a recreational player, this would have looked bad on him.
However, like I stated before, the match was great because he played a former professional who had a decent ranking during his time. |
the kid probably had a bad day. But I looked at the wiki and the guy looks like a journeyman from 30 years ago. This result doesn't bode well for a kid trying to make the pro tour
Another Forum opinion about power rackets Debunked.
Also I wonder if he used racket like that when he was a Pro. or did he have to switch to this power frame because of his Age ??? ARE we all destined to switch to such frame when we get OLD ???
omg u kill me that that racquet is hilarious i think i better stock up on the bay |
This is a clay tournament. Having seen Jarmere Jenkins play, I wonder how effective he is on HarTru. Who cares about someone's racquet-it's about their game and their play, not their racquet.
I would of paid 10 bucks to watch that match |
I have many fond memories of watching SMU matches in my native Dallas when Mark Vines was there. He was the surprise singles champion of the Southwest Conference as a freshman. I was reminded of him a few years ago when a tennis columnist in Virginia spoke of him as the greatest Richmond player in the years since Arthur Ashe. Great lefty serve and volley and all-court player.
I hope I get a chance to play him some day |
This was a clay tournament? I didn't know that.
Is Jamere even effective on clay? I've seen his matches on Har-Tu courts, but I'm not sure if he's just as good on clay. |
actually looking at his strings it looks like full something and not a hybrid. well it can be any string, but if it was full gut with string savers i would not be surprised |
Prince just arrived early 80s and pros changed to oversize pretty fast so he probably did play as a pro post wooden frame. Doubt he used the hyper hammer somehow back then or he clearly would have had a higher ranking.

Staff was Ok. Always had to wait in office, as much as 1 hour. I had surgery on a Friday and he went on vacation the next day (I was not given a choice of date). Waited 5 weeks before the stiches were removed by his office staff. Only saw him once in his office after the surgery,(week 4). Would not recommend.

Surgery scar is terrible and office billed us $1000 when we didn't even have a copay. Then when they did issue us a refund amount (which was after many, many calls), it was the wrong amount. His staff is rude and it takes an hour to get into see him.

Arabian Nights is a Scooby-Doo television special which originally aired September 3, 1994 on TBS. It's based around The Book of One Thousand and One Nights. It is notable for being one of the last featuring Don Messick as the voice of both Scooby-Doo and Boo-Boo Bear, as well as the final Scooby-Doo cartoon to be produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc.
The special features classic Hanna-Barbera characters Scooby-Doo, Shaggy Rogers, Yogi Bear, Boo-Boo Bear, and Magilla Gorilla. Scooby and Shaggy are mostly used as set up for the two main tales. Produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., Warner Bros. Family Entertainment and Turner Program Services. It was produced in a manner similar to the classic Warner Bros. cartoons, similar to Steven Speilberg's Animaniacs, which debuted the previous year, down to the music. The animation style is also different from the previous TV movies, drawn in a more flatter style with brighter colors and stylized character designs.
Scooby and Shaggy are hired as royal food-tasters by a young Arab Caliph - a job offer they can't refuse. When they eat everything, the nearsighted Caliph gets mad and has his guards chase them, until he finds Shaggy disguised in drag as a harem girl. In order to make the prince fall asleep, Shaggy tells him two classic stories with a twist.

Lakeview, Oregon Brings Geothermal Plant Online
The town of Lakeview is putting the finishing touches on its new geothermal heating system. As Oregon Public Broadcasting's David Nogueras reports, the system is being used to heat the town's four schools as well as its hospital.
At 185 degrees Fahrenheit, the water coming out the geothermal well is scalding hot.
Both the school system and the hospital had to retrofit their old systems to draw the heat off that water before it's circulated back into the well.
The system costs about $3.7 million. With most of that money coming from a 40-year fixed loan from the US Department of Agriculture.
Town manager Ray Simms says the money generated by selling the heat to the school and the hospital systems will be used to pay off the loan. He says both districts are projecting significant savings in their heating costs.
"And in our school district saving somewhere between a hundred and a hundred fifty thousand dollars a year that they're able to put into some other needs that they have, just makes all kind of sense," says Simms.
Simms says the system could be expanded in the coming years to bring even more customers online.

Take Your Business to the Next Level—For the Win
Millions flock to their computers, consoles, mobile phones, tablets, and social networks each day to play World of Warcraft, Farmville, Scrabble, and countless other games, generating billions in sales each year. The careful and skillful construction of these games is built on decades of research into human motivation and psychology: A well-designed game goes right to the motivational heart of the human psyche.
In For the Win, authors Kevin Werbach and Dan Hunter argue persuasively that gamemakers need not be the only ones benefiting from game design. Werbach and Hunter are lawyers and World of Warcraft players who created the world's first course on gamification at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In their book, they reveal how game thinking—addressing problems like a game designer—can motivate employees and customers and create engaging experiences that can transform your business.
For the Win reveals how a wide range of companies are successfully using game thinking. It also offers an explanation of when gamifying makes the most sense and a 6-step framework for using games for marketing, productivity enhancement, innovation, employee motivation, customer engagement, and more.
In this informative guide, Werbach and Hunter reveal how game thinking can yield winning solutions to real-world business problems. Let the games begin!
"Video games now have the dubious honour of having inspired their own management craze. Called 'gamification,' it aims to take principles from video games and apply them to serious tasks. The latest book on the subject, For the Win, comes from Kevin Werbach and Dan Hunter, from the Wharton Business School and the New York Law School respectively….[T]heir central idea—that the world might be a better place if work was less of a necessary drudge and more of a rewarding experience in itself—is hard to argue with."
"Here's a conversion worthy of a Transformers movie: Take buttoned-down, MBA-toting business professionals and turn them into video game designers. That's the goal of a new book about gamification, changing behavior of employees and customers by appealing to their sense of fun and their competitive instinct, video-game style. The coauthor of For the Win: How Game Thinking Can Revolutionize Your Business is Dan Hunter, who runs New York Law School's Institute for Information Law and Society. He says gamification done right is about meaningful competition."
"Werbach and Hunter aren't playing around with this book on how to add the joy of gaming to your enterprise. This is a quick but thoughtful look into the pros and cons of gamification, what works and what doesn't, with plenty of insight into what really motivates and engages customers and employees."
"For the Win is the best overview of gamification out there. Direct and to the point, the book is chock-full of solid, studied examples illustrating both best practices and pitfalls to avoid."
The Conversation, March 19, 2015
Gamification harnesses the power of games to motivate
Gamification involves two primary mechanisms. The first is to take design structures from games, such as levels, achievements, points, and leaderboards — in For the Win, my co-author and I label them "game elements" — and incorporate them into activities. The second, more subtle but ultimately more effective, is to mine the rich vein of design techniques that game designers have developed over many years.
FT.com, January 28, 2015
Poor design blights progress in making a game of working life
Work can be dull and repetitive. Games are fun and engaging. So why not turn work into a game? That is the thinking behind gamification — injecting everyday workplace tasks with elements taken from computer games.

Hawaii wins with gamification of state online services

One word: WOW
Saturday has been an amazing day!! Gorgeous trail half marathon and a shutout Sharks game?!!! :) Makes for one happy girl!
My morning started early, but not early enough (spoiler alert). I crawled out of bed and popped a homestyle Eggo into the toaster. I enjoyed the crispy waffle while getting ready for the Coyote Hills Half Marathon.
Out of nowhere, it was 8 AM… and the race started at 9 AM! I quickly grabbed my things and drove the [short] drive from Palo Alto to Fremont. I joined hundreds of excited runners in the parking lot of DeVry University and we waited in the chilly wind for race shuttles to take us to the start line.
I definitely didn't budget enough time, taking advantage of the fact that Brazen Racing usually puts on *small* races. I should have known better, especially after the kerfuffle of Walnut Creek. Luckily, about 8 minutes before the half marathon start, the organizers called out to the line, asking for half marathoners to skip the line and immediately get in the next shuttle. PHEW. Close one!
I didn't go to an early packet pick-up this week due to work, so as soon as the shuttle dropped us off at Coyote Hills Regional Park, I sprinted to the registration table. During that time, the race officially started… By the time I had my bib pinned to my lucky race shirt, I was 3 minutes behind the pack. Ain't no thang!
Race photos of me borrowed from Brazen's Facebook page!!
The beginning of Mile 1 was, in a word, breathtaking. We ran on top of a deck surrounded by water and water bushes (totally not the technical term). That led to the first "hill," where, for the most part, I focused on catching up and passing the half marathoners that started before me. Just before Mile 2 was the first water station. Since this was a trail half, all racers were warned ahead of time that the water stations would be at odd points since it's hard to get the tables and supplies out in the middle of nowhere. I took a swig of water and turned the corner to spectacular bay views.
From Mile 2-4, we ran through the rolling grassland hills with the bay at our right. It was a bit windy and cloudy, but clear enough to see all the way across to Menlo Park, Redwood City, etc. The turnaround came at Mile 5, which was also the next water station. I took a vanilla GU at this point and cruised back towards the start line. Just after the Mile 6 marker, there was a short, gnarly hill (~100 ft gain is a hill for me). I walked part of it and totally enjoyed the downhill afterwards!
The course repeated itself for the final Mile 7-13. I could tell my legs were tired and yes, sure, I lost a LOT of steam. You can tell by my mile times:
Another Brazen Facebook photo (the race also had a 5k and 10k):
Just before Mile 8 I hit the water station, but this time I stopped to enjoy the scenery:
Candy! I took two gummy bears (both red) and a peanut M&M. This is the first race I've ever done that has candy on the course. Usually it's just GU, sometimes an orange slice or banana… but this definitely wins the award for best race food!!
I continued to the turnaround point, enjoying the bay views and sunny skies. That same unpleasant hill came at the end of Mile 12, and I walked a portion of it again. At that point, I knew I blew my previous trail PR out of the water, so…. easy sailing? I cruised down the final hill and through the finish line with an official chip time of 1:42:34. Yahoo!!!!!
Garmin stats:
3rd place age group?! Coooool.
p.s. did I mention that I was texting a bunch of folks during the race? Namely my mom (who I'm hanging out with tomorrow!) and Kyle, who surprised me by offering to run to the finish line…. FROM PALO ALTO. That's 9 miles, folks. And he QUOTE-UNQUOTE isn't a runner?!!! I don't believe you, dude.
So, after grabbing the awesome finisher's medal, gulping some water, and visiting the port-a-potty, I found Kyle and we walked to the spectacular food tables. If you ever need a reason to sign up for one of the many races Brazen organizes, how about this: It's-It ice cream sandwiches, red velvet cake, apple pie, cheesecake, peanut butter, nutella, oranges, bananas, bagels, coffee, hot cocoa….. Total foodie satisfaction.
After a cup of apple pie and coffee… I finally met two local bloggers I've been dying to meet: Jacqueline of Skinny Chick Blog and Janae of Hungry Runner Girl. They are smart bloggers and took photos, but I did not so you'll just have to visit their blogs!
Too small Speed (blue) – Elevation (green) comparison:
Kyle and I had a chance to chat with Janae and Billy for a long time near the race results and in line for the shuttles back to DeVry's parking lot. I had so much fun talking with them about races and life since they moved to the Bay Area. Hopefully we can go for a run, visit Yogurtland, or go on a double date (not to be confused with doubles tennis) soon!
Also – thanks for sharing your extra It's-It with me Billy and Janae!
Lessons learned from the race:
- Focus on getting to races EARLY
- Do another Brazen Race, if only for the food and small crowds
- Take advantage of Coyote Hills Regional Park's 978 acres soon!!! This East Bay gem has miles of trails to go hike, bike, run, picnic, bird watch…. whatever it is, I need to go back soon.
I drove Kyle back to his car across the Dumbarton Bridge and then JETTED to Mountain View for an 8-second shower. I had to get to the Sharks game, which started at 1 PM!!!
More on that in my next post :)
Question: What food would you LOVE to see at the race finish? Runners, do you prefer trail runs or the city streets?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Campaign news from around the country, compiled by CNN Political Unit staff and written by Rob Harber.
Senate Republicans are running new ads targeting Louisiana Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu. One ad compares Landrieu's voting record to that of perennial GOP target Senator Edward Kennedy.
In Florida, Gov.Jeb Bush sent his son George P. Bush to file the paperwork for his re-election campaign. The younger Bush traveled to the state capital of Tallahassee, where he paid his father's $7,200 registration fee.
The GOP Senate primary in Tennessee features dueling symbols of regional pop culture. Country singer Hank Williams Jr. Performed a free concert over the weekend sponsored by the Lamar Alexander campaign. Not to be outdone, Alexander's opponent, Congressman Ed Bryant, is running a new radio ad featuring former NASCAR driver Darrell Waltrip.

A word of warning before you begin candle making is very addicting, so proceed with caution! :-)
Candle Making Supplies:
Candle Making Equipment:
How To Make Container Candles: Melt wax in a double boiler over medium heat. As the wax melts, add dye. If you are using the dye chips, you may want to chop the chip up into small pieces to aid in melting. Stir to blend well.
Continue to heat wax to around 175°F until only a small chunk of wax remains. Remove from heat. While wax is cooling, attach wick sticker to the bottom of the wick tab, and adhere to the inside of container, centering the wick in the middle of the container. Allow wax to cool to 150°F .
Add 1 oz of fragrance oil per half pound (2 Tablespoons) - or 2 oz of fragrance (4 Tablespoons) per pound, and stir gently to blend. Carefully pour melted wax into container. Support the wick with a skewer or pencil, if necessary, and allow candle to cool completely. After the candle is completely cooled, trim the wick and let "cure" for at least 24 hours before burning.
CB-135 wax shouldn't need a second pour, but if you are unhappy with the surface/tops of your candles and want a smoother look, you may want to reserve a small amount of wax and pour again after the top is mostly cooled, or use a heat gun to smooth them out.
Please Note: If you are using the C-3 soy wax, reduce the amount of fragrance to 1 - 1.5 oz per pound of wax and add fragrance just before you pour.
Now, that wasnt too difficult, was it? Hope you had fun!

NCC, a non-governmental organization (NGO), has provided the Dominican Republic with requested medicines valued at over $100 million during the past 10 years.
Hospira's donations of the colorectal cancer medicine irinotecan HCI have allowed NCC to provide access to this important drug to public hospitals that assist the underserved in the developing world. The benefiting public hospitals that have received this cancer medicine were located in: Ghana, Tanzania, Moldova, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, and the Philippines. These donations have provided hundreds of poor cancer patients access to this vital chemotherapy.

DEAR ABBY: You have always encouraged your readers to stay informed and to be proactive in their health care. Because of that, I am writing on behalf of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Women's Health and the Federal Citizen Information Center to tell you about our new Health Information Kit for women and their families.
May 13-19, National Women's Health Week, is an effort by the Department of Health and Human Services and an alliance of organizations to raise awareness about manageable steps women can take to improve their health.
That's why the FDA has created a Health Information Kit that includes more than a dozen free materials -- helpful information that recognizes the needs of women, not only as consumers, but also as family decision makers.
Thank you for getting this valuable consumer information out to your readers. -- KATHLEEN UHL, M.D., ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH
DEAR KATHLEEN: I'm delighted to spread the word. Readers, I have reviewed the information the FDA is offering -- free of charge, including the cost of postage. The kits contain a gold mine of handy-dandy information on more than a dozen topics, and feature its new Medicine Booklets, first-of-their kind pamphlets with information about all products to treat depression, high blood pressure, cholesterol and smoking cessation. Also included are tips on reducing the risk of heart disease (a leading killer of women), food safety and much more.
All of the information has been compiled by the government at taxpayer expense, which is why it's offered to you at no charge.
Quantities are limited, so if you are interested in this offer, do not delay -- order today. Here's how: For the fastest service, order the Health Information Kit online at � HYPERLINK "http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov" ��www.pueblo.gsa.gov�. If you don't have online access, send your name and address to Health Information Kit, Pueblo, CO 81009, or call toll-free (888) 878-3256, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time, and ask for the Health Information Kit.
DEAR ABBY: On Mother's Day, our church has a tradition of asking all the mothers in the congregation to stand for a blessing and recognition of their importance to our community and the job they are doing.
My wife refuses to stand and be recognized by our community as a mother. She says she won't do it because there are some women in our church who are not standing, and some of them might not be able to be mothers and may be hurt at the recognition the others are receiving.
I realize that infertility may be a great loss to them, but these women live with it every day. I doubt that our church's annual recognition of mothers will add more pain than those women already endure. Don't you agree? -- PROUD HUSBAND AND FATHER IN THE MIDWEST
DEAR PROUD HUSBAND AND FATHER: No, I do not agree. Your wife is a woman with unusual sensitivity and empathy for the feelings of others. I respect her stance on remaining seated, and so should you.
CONFIDENTIAL TO PAULINE PHILLIPS, MY DEAR MOTHER IN MINNEAPOLIS: Happy Mother's Day to the dearest mother in the world. You are in my thoughts and heart today, and every day.
Good advice for everyone -- teens to seniors -- is in "The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It." To order, send a business-size, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $6 (U.S. funds only) to: Dear Abby, Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

Lyn Devon Fall 2009 Look Book
Young designer Lyn Devon, who launched her label in 2005, wanted customers to "dress on the bright side" this Fall. In her collection, vibrant purple, deep red and an optimistic poppy print appear alongside dark classics. The effect is dramatic and sophisticated, optimistic but not at all ditzy. Texture is also considered this season with houndstooth, ultra-thin leather and tech jersey coming together in different combinations. The overall effect is an ultra-clean, sophisticated take on modern sportswear which will hopefully get Devon into many more stores next season. Check out the complete Fall 2009 look book in the gallery below.

Title: | Low Energy Diffuse Scattering Electron Spin Polarization Analyzer |
Published: | January 01, 1986 |
Abstract: | A new, compact (approximately fist sized), efficient electron-spin analyzer is described. It is based on low-energy (150 eV) diffuse scattering from a high-Z target, for example, an evaporated polycrystalline Au film opaque to the incident electron beam. By collecting a large solid angle of scattered electrons, a figure of merit S2I/I0=10-4 is achieved with an analyzing power S=0.11. The figure of merit degrades only marginally (<10%) for beams with an energy width of 40 eV or after one month of operation at 10-8 Torr. The electron optical acceptance is of order 100 mmu2^ sr eV. The details of the design and construction are discussed and its performance is compared to six other spin analyzers. Illustrative results are presented from an application to scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis (SEMPA) to image magnetic microstructure. |

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks ran into a wall of worry Tuesday as violence erupted on the Korean peninsula, concerns about Europe's debt crisis expanded and the Federal Reserve issued a dour economic outlook.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) fell 142 points, or 1.3%, to close at 11,036. The S&P 500 (SPX) fell 17 points, or 1.4%, to 1,181. The Nasdaq (COMP) slid 37 points, or 1.4%, to 2495.
The retreat was sparked by an exchange of artillery fire along the disputed sea border between North and South Korea Tuesday morning. The skirmish, which killed two South Korean soldiers and wounded several civilians, was one of the worst since the Korean War of the 1950s ended in armistice.
Dan Cook, chief executive at IG Markets, said thin trading volumes could be amplifying the market's reaction to the Korean hostilities, "but this is still major," he added.
"The uncertainty is so great and the implications could be huge," he said. "People are getting out of risk assets and in some cases going to cash," he added
In the currency market, the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen both rose sharply. Gold prices and U.S. Treasuries also moved higher as investors flocked to safe haven assets.
The stock declines were broad based. Hewlett Packard (HPQ, Fortune 500) was the only Dow stock in the black. Shares of the computer maker rose 0.9%, after it reported better-than-expected quarterly results.
Chevron (CVX, Fortune 500) and Exxon (XOM, Fortune 500) both fell about 2% as the stronger dollar pressured oil prices. The dollar also weighed on shares of big multinational firms such as IBM (IBM, Fortune 500), Caterpillar (CAT, Fortune 500) and 3M (MMM, Fortune 500).
Concerns about long-term debt problems facing some major European economies had already been hanging over the market this week.
Investors are growing nervous about Spain and Portugal after officials in Ireland officially requested loans from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund over the weekend.
"Portugal is almost assuredly going to take a bailout," said Dan Greenhaus, chief market strategist with Miller Taback & Co. "The question then becomes how much Spain will need," he said, adding that estimates range between $300 billion and $400 billion.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve lowered its outlook for U.S. economic growth this year and next. The central bank also projected that unemployment would remain elevated into next year, according to meeting minutes.
But the bleak forecast was expected, and investors are more concerned about geopolitical risks, according to Greenhaus.
Traders said the market could be choppy this week, with many money managers taking time off ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. All U.S. markets will be closed Thursday.
Wednesday brings reports on personal income and spending, as well as durable goods orders, data on weekly unemployment claims and new home sales for October.
Stocks ended mixed Monday, as shares of big banks fell after federal law enforcement officials searched the offices of three prominent hedge funds, in what is said to be a large-scale insider trading probe.
Economy: The Federal Reserve lowered its estimates for U.S. economic growth this year and next, and raised its outlook for unemployment.
The Fed now expects 2010 gross domestic product to increase between 2.4% and 2.5% this year, compared with an earlier projection of growth between 3% and 3.5%. In 2010, the Fed predicts GDP in the range of 3% to 3.6%, down from the last forecast in June.
Earlier, government data showed the U.S. economy grew at a better than expected 2.5% annual rate in the third quarter, faster than 2% rate previously reported.
The Fed also said the unemployment rate will be between 9.5% and 9.7% for all of 2010. Next year, the bankers believe joblessness could be as high as 9.1%, compared with a previous estimate of between 8.3% and 8.7%.
Minutes from the Fed's most recent policy meeting showed that officials were divided over the central bank's recent plan to boost the economy by purchasing $600 billion in U.S. Treasuries.
On the housing front, existing home sales declined 2.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.43 million in October from 4.53 million in September, according to the National Association of Realtors. Economists had expected a sales rate of 4.42 million in the month.
Companies: Clothing retailer J. Crew (JCG) agreed to be acquired by buyout firms TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners for $2.8 billion. Shares of J. Crew rose about 16% shares had been halted most of the morning after rallying as much as 22% in premarket trading.
Blackstone Group's pursuit of electric power provider Dynegy (DYN) has come to an end after activist shareholders objected to the takeover, Dynegy said in a statement.
World markets: The tensions in Korea dragged stock prices lower around the world.
Britain's FTSE 100 and the DAX in Germany both slipped 1.5%, while France's CAC 40 lost 2.3%.
In Asia, South Korea's Kospi index ended 0.7% lower. The Shanghai Composite lost 1.9% and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong dropped 2.7%. Japan's market was closed for a holiday.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar strengthened against the euro and the British pound, but remained weak versus the Japanese yen.
Oil for January delivery slipped 49 cents to $81.25 a barrel.
Gold futures for January delivery rose $19.80 to close at $1,377.60 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury rose, pushing the yield down to 2.76% from 2.81% late Friday.

Recombinant activated factor VII use in critically ill infants with active hemorrhage. | |

INTRODUCTION: Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) is infrequently used off-label in infants despite a paucity of data in this population. We report a retrospective review of rFVIIa use in infants focusing on safety and efficacy. METHOD: Between 2002 and 2007, 32 critically ill nonhemophiliac infants less than 1 year old received rFVIIa at our institution. Indications of rFVIIa and post-rFVIIa venous thrombosis were reviewed. Transfusion requirements were calculated 8 hours before and after rFVIIa administration. RESULTS: Infants received on average 2 doses of rFVIIa at a mean dosage of 90 microg/kg. Active hemorrhage was the indication for rFVIIa in 24 infants, which included postoperative bleeding in 16 and nonsurgical bleeding in 8. The remaining 8 infants had preoperative coagulopathy. Thrombosis was noted in 4 infants (13%) and was not related to transfusion requirements, the number of doses, or dosage of rFVIIa. For infants who had active hemorrhage, rFVIIa was able to significantly reduce the requirements of packed red blood cells by 36.17 mL/kg (P < .005), platelets by 10.31 mL/kg (P < .01), and cryoprecipitates by 2.19 mL/kg (P < .05). CONCLUSION: This is the first large case series demonstrating the efficacy of rFVIIa in critically ill infants with active hemorrhage by reducing their transfusion requirements. Furthermore, venous thrombosis was not associated with increase in either the number of doses or dosage of rFVIIa. |
