PMID: 7066141 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
We have compared the rates of recovery of pancuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade after administration of neostigmine during anaesthesia maintained with nitrous oxide and intermittent narcotics, halothane or enflurane. Thirty patients were studied in whom anaesthesia was maintained with 70% nitrous oxide in oxygen with: fentanyl or thiopentone, halothane (0.55-0.65% end-tidal), or enflurane (1.3-1.4% end-tidal). Muscle twitch response was measured using train-of-four stimulation. Pancuronium 3 mg/70 kg was antagonized with neostigmine 2.5 mg/70 kg at 10% spontaneous recovery of the first twitch of the train compared with control. There were no significant differences between the times to 10% spontaneous recovery of the first twitch or the rates of train-of-four recovery after neostigmine when the narcotic and halothane groups were compared. However, enflurane anaesthesia, in comparison with fentanyl, was associated with a significant increase in the time to 10% recovery (57.9 +/- 6.0 min v. 35.4 +/- 7.0 min) and with decreases in the train-of-four recoveries at 4, 5, 10, 20 and 30 min after neostigmine. We conclude that, under the conditions of this study, the antagonism of pancuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade with neostigmine was impaired during enflurane but not halothane anaesthesia. |

Goodbye, Harvest 2014
A dry spring and heat spikes led to a much earlier harvest for most California vineyards this year. On the North Coast, it started Aug. 1st.
The rains have come now, so the winemakers are busy in the cellar putting their reds to barrel, while the whites rest on the lees in tanks or barrels, or get bottled right away.
The fall winds are pulling the leaves from the vines now, and the rain has started to fall. It is quiet and still as the vines now move toward their winter sleep.
They've worked hard growing those plump, juicy grapes – and we're really going to enjoy the results.
The vines are turning color now, and will soon be bare…but spring is not that far away1

Temperature-anisotropy driven mirror waves in space plasma
- In this paper an analysis of the excitation conditions of mirror waves is done, which propagate parallel to an external magnetic field. There are found analytical expressions for the dispersion relations of the waves in case of different plasma conditions. These relations may be used in future to develop the nonlinear theory of mirror waves. In comparison with former analytical works, in the study the inuence of the magnetic field and nite temperatures of the ions parallel to the magnetic field are taken into account. Application is done for the earth's magnetosheath.

Icon Comics is an imprint of Marvel Comics for creator-owned titles, designed to keep select "A-list" creators producing for Marvel rather than seeing them take creator-owned work to other publishers.
It was launched in 2004 with Michael Avon Oeming and Brian Michael Bendis' superhero/detective series Powers, and David Mack's Kabuki moving to the imprint, both from Image Comics. In June 2005 the imprint's third title, J. Michael Straczynski's Dream Police was launched, followed in September by The Book of Lost Souls, also from Straczynski. Criminal by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips is an ongoing crime comic also published by Icon.
Mark Millar has described the deal with Icon in relation to his Kick-Ass series:
" | The creative team get all the rights and you do all the promotion yourself.
you could end up out of pocket because some of the team get paid upfront under these deals whereas Johnny and I don't take a page rate. But it was a calculated risk as we both have pretty good reps and so anything over, say, 25,000 would basically cover our Marvel page rates.[1] |

Featuring: Gerry - Fiddle - O'Connor, Gabriel McArdle & Martin Quinn
Musicians of the area in recent years have become more acutely appreciative of this song, music and dance body, as they develop their repertoires with melody and imagery which was once so familiar to their predecessors.
In this album, Gerry, Martin and Gabriel present a celebration of carefully chosen elements of the South Ulster heritage. The recording invokes the charm and ease of past aesthetic geniuses whose sounds still today have challenge, meaning and artistic satisfaction for audiences in the 21st century.

After junior Damani Wilson carved up the Columbia defense for 121 yards on 8 carries, Harvard football coach Tim Murphy reached deeper down his depth chart on the following drive, sending out freshman Andrew Larson in the hopes of running out the clock rather than running past the Lions.
But Larson ran for 34 yards on three carries, so Murphy opted to have freshman quarterback Scott Hosch kneel three times and hand the ball over to Columbia (2-6, 1-4 Ivy).
It was that kind of day for the Crimson (7-1, 4-1). Seemingly the only person who could stop Harvard was its own head coach as nine players scored touchdowns in a 69-0 rout.
Four of those touchdowns came in a span of less than four minutes early in the second quarter to turn a 7-0 battle into a 28-0 blowout. Senior Colton Chapple capped a 74-yard drive with a touchdown pass to junior Andrew Berg before the Crimson offense took advantage of two Lions turnovers deep in their half of the field with touchdowns by seniors Treavor Scales and Kyle Juszczyk. On Columbia's next drive, the Harvard defense didn't give its offense a chance to score as junior Connor Loftus returned an interception all the way to the end zone.
When the Crimson offense did get back on the field, freshman backup running back Paul Stanton put Harvard in scoring range, and Chapple did the rest with an 11-yard touchdown scamper. After breaking the program single-season passing touchdowns record and scoring his seventh rushing touchdown of the year, the signal-caller wouldn't see the end zone again after Murphy pulled him at halftime.
The Crimson's second-team offense, led by Stanton and sophomore quarterback Connor Hempel, started the second half just as strong, marching the team 69 yards for a touchdown. It was senior senior Rich Zajeski's turn on Harvard's next possession as he ran for 38 yards on the drive and would later get his first touchdown since Week 3.
"Our line really [was] wearing down the other line and [was] able to create big holes," Wilson said.
By the end of the day, four Crimson running backs scored touchdowns, including two for the fourth-stringer, Wilson.
"We are very blessed at that position," Murphy said. "We certainly have more than our fair share of outstanding running backs."
While the Crimson offense was rolling, the defense kept the Lions from ever getting going. Columbia managed just 149 yards of total offensive, went just 2-for-12 on third-down attempts, and turned the ball over six times as Harvard shut out an opponent for the first time since 2006.
"They did a great job; it's obviously a group effort when you get a shutout," Murphy said. "It's a coordinated effort.... Everything just seemed to gel today, obviously."
Saturday's shutout was made possible by a consistent game from all three levels of the defense. Up front, the Crimson put pressure on the quarterback with only three or four rushers, tallying eight sacks to ensure it would lead the FCS for at least another week. Nine players contributed to those eight sacks as the team tallied nine tackles for loss and nine quarterback hurries as well.
The front was just as strong against the run as well, keeping the Lions from getting a single first down on the ground and holding the visitors to a total of -19 net rushing yards, including the sacks, on 21 rushing attempts.
At linebacker, sophomore Jacob Lindsey led the team with six tackles and forced a fumble, and Loftus had a pass breakup and half a sack to go with his interception return for a touchdown.

State fines Seattle business for spilling oil in Port Angeles
The Washington Department of Ecology is fining Olympic Tug & Barge of Seattle $16,500 for spilling oil into Port Angeles Harbor last November.
The spill occurred when a company-owned fuel barge was overfilled while being loaded with fuel oil.
Ecology determined the Nov. 7, 2012, heavy fuel oil spill occurred because of an error by the barge operator.
More than 1,700 gallons of fuel spilled to the deck of the barge with nearly 50 gallons entering Port Angeles Harbor.
The oil transfer was being conducted at the Tesoro Port Angeles Terminal located at the foot of the spit at Ediz Hook. Olympic Tug & Barge had oil containment boom placed around the barge prior to starting the fuel transfer which helped contain the spill. Ecology requires "pre-booming" of large-volume oil transfers over water as directed by changes to state law in 2007.
"The company cooperated with the authorities throughout the cleanup and assisted them in the investigation into the cause of the incident, ultimately leading to appropriate corrective actions being put into place to prevent a recurrence," said Sven Christensen, general manager of Olympic Tug & Barge.
Jim Sachet, Spill Response Team supervisor, said, "Even though Olympic Tug & Barge acted quickly to recover oil in Port Angeles Harbor and clean the barge, this spill should not have happened. This is another example of the effectiveness of Washington's approach to requiring oil transfers to be 'pre-boomed.' Without the boom in place as a precaution, the heavy fuel oil would have spread much farther and could have caused significantly more damage. Any spill, regardless of size, causes environmental harm."

COLUMBIA — Data presented to the City Council by Columbia police showed that overall violent crime is down, while overall property crime rose dramatically between January and April.
The data indicated that overall violent crime decreased by 28 percent from 166 incidents in 2007 to 119 incidents this year.
Of the reported crime categories, only robbery increased from last year.
Meanwhile, property crime rose by about 35 percent from 833 incidents last year to 1,128 incidents this year over the four-month period.
At a retreat Friday for City Council members and city staff, Police Chief Randy Boehm said it's not always easy to catch up with people who commit property crimes because they are not always Columbia residents.
"Those folks are very mobile," he said. "That's why they're difficult to catch a lot of times – they don't stay in one spot."
Of the reported property crime categories only auto theft decreased while both burglary and larceny saw triple-digit increases.
Boehm said the bait car program had been instrumental in lowering the incidence of auto theft.
"The whole idea is you've got a bait car sitting somewhere and you don't know where it is, so you better think about that before you steal a vehicle," he said.
In 2007, statistics for the entire year reflected an overall increase in crime from 2006. In particular, violent crime increased by 34 percent.
Missourian reporter Chad Day contributed to this report.

CHICAGO – The power of creativity, and the risk of live theater, is all on display through Nothing Without a Company's latest amazing journey, "Down the Moonlit Path." The interactive stage experience refreshes the soul and realizes the joy of life.
Blu-Ray Review: 'The Secret of the Grain' Frames Life in Close-Up
CHICAGO – Not to be confused with "The Secret in Their Eyes," "The Secret of Kells," or "The Secret," this French family drama is saddled with a most unfortunate title for its American release. Though the picture's original title, "The Grain and the Mullet," may not sound like an upgrade, it offered an intriguing metaphor for the film's unlikely union of two unforgettable characters.
The first is Slimane, played by Habib Boufares as an aging, exhausted man who can't seem to catch up with the ever-changing world. His thirty-five years of laborious work at a shipyard job are brought to a screeching halt when his boss fires him for not working fast enough (thus illustrating that speed is valued above quality). As Slimane delivers fish to various members of his family, he's greeted with hostility by his ex-wife (Bouraouïa Marzouk) and begrudging affection by one of his daughters, Karima (Farida Benkhetache). The last person Slimane visits is Rym (Hafsia Herzi), the young daughter of his current girlfriend, and the film's undeniable life force. It is Rym who helps the weary patriarch make a solid attempt at realizing his dream of opening a seaside restaurant, which Slimane hopes will build a legacy for his four struggling children.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0 |
This deceptively simple premise sets the stage for one of the most intensely involving ensemble pictures in many a moon. It marks the third directorial effort from Abdellatif Kechiche, a veteran actor who is clearly fascinated by the mystery and intricacies of human behavior. His films all focus on the lives of Arab immigrants in France, yet they are refreshingly devoid of cultural or ideological stereotypes. "The Secret of the Grain" runs for over two-and-a-half hours, and consists primarily of intimate interactions between characters whose faces are often viewed in close-up. Though this technique may cause some viewers to feel uncomfortable, especially when the characters start downing mouthfuls of couscous, it does allow Kechiche to achieve a raw and visceral authenticity that makes the realism of most pictures look downright staged by comparison. He has the patience to let conversations unfold organically, resulting in sequences that feel more achingly real than any reality TV show. The longer a scene plays out, the more riveting it becomes. When one character breaks down late in the film, her unrelenting discharge of emotion is all the more affecting (and exhausting) since Kechiche refuses to let us look away.

Upon its initial release in 2007, "The Secret of the Grain" won four César awards, including Best Picture. Herzi's sensational film debut was deservedly honored with the accolade for "Most Promising Performer." Her scenes with Slimane are especially touching, since he's lost the ability to adequately express himself, causing her to do most of the talking. She loves him as if he was her own father, and it's their tender relationship that makes up the heart of the picture. She represents the future (symbolized by the grain), while Slimane embodies the essence of the past (and, to an extent, the mullet), resistant to adapt to his new environment. He can't help staying present in the lives of his family, most of whom wish he would move back to the old country. His restaurant aims to specialize in his ex-wife's home cooking, an odd plot development explained midway through the picture by a group of musicians, who function like a Greek chorus. The film's final act centers on the restaurant's opening night, and concludes not with a resolution, but with a belly-dance, which manages to be simultaneously moving, heartbreaking, and more than a little sexy.
The Secret of the Grain was released on Blu-Ray and DVD on July 27th, 2010. Photo credit: Courtesy of the Criterion Collection |
Though the ending is ultimately jarring and unsatisfying, its open-ended honesty is somewhat more substantial than the all-too-happy closing moments of "Entre Nos," which also told the story of an immigrant family headed by a devoted parent. The co-director, Paola Mendoza, inhabited the role of her own mother, while Kechiche originally intended to cast his own father in the role of Slimane (his father died before production began). Though "The Secret of the Grain" shares several thematic elements with "Entre Nos," its closest cinematic relative may be Jonathan Demme's under-appreciated "Rachel Getting Married," which utilized a similarly immersive documentary-style approach to capture family dynamics in all their complexity, beauty and ambiguity.
"The Secret of the Grain" is presented in 1080p High Definition (with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio), which brings striking clarity to the film's images, allowing them to appear literally within reach. In an interesting alternative to the usual assemblage of deleted scenes, Kechiche presents a new 45-minute film constructed entirely out of additional footage from the film's unforgettable belly-dancing sequence. "Sueur" (a.k.a. "Sweat") doesn't bring much clarity to the original film's evasive ending, though it does include a whole lot more high-class belly-dancing from Herzi, filmed in glorious HD. The longer this sequence lasts, the more it begins to resemble the robotic Maria's dance in Fritz Lang's "Metropolis," which she utilized to seduce her zombie-like audience (yet Kechiche amusingly includes shots of audience members who remain uninterested in the surrounding hysteria). The disc also includes an enlightening 13-minute interview with Kechiche, filmed exclusively for Criterion, in which he reveals that the film's location was changed from Nice (his father's hometown) to Sete, following his father's death. There's also some extended interviews with cast members (including Herzi), and a terrific 21-minute dissection of the picture by French film scholar Ludovic Cortade, who discusses the film's relation to (and subversion of) "Beur cinema."

Tax shelter activity has been widespread for decades. IRS attempts to curtail that activity have met with mixed results. For a time, it seemed that the IRS might have succeeded as never before, as Congress held hearings, the Treasury Department substantially expanded tax shelter disclosure requirements, and the Department of Justice brought criminal prosecutions against several KPMG tax professionals. Recently, however, there has been pushback from the courts, the tax profession, and even Congress. Did the government overreach and target legitimate business activity? Was the KPMG-prompted decline merely a cyclical downturn, to be followed by a return to previous levels of tax shelter activity? What will the future hold for tax shelters?
This conference will bring together top tax scholars and professionals as well as scholars from other disciplines who are thinking about tax shelters from different perspectives to evaluate the present and future of tax shelters.

Okay, okay I know, lots of jewelry posts recently. I couldn't help but share this with you.
, my favorite local jewelry store, just sent an email saying they have these rings in store. I love all of these colors and as an added bonus they are affordable ($36-$55). I let you know if I snatch one up. Have a great weekend.

Sunday Night Meal: Quinoa and Kale Greek Salad
As I mentioned yesterday it was HOT in the city this weekend and I wanted something refreshing to eat on Sunday night. I also wanted a healthy meal to cleanse away the weekends slip-ups. I came up with this very healthy meal and it turned out delicious.
Juice from 1 lemon
1 Small Container of Plain Greek Yogurt (I used 0%)
1 Bunch of dill
2-3 Cloves of garlic
Olive oil
Cracked pepper and salt
1 Cup of uncooked Quinoa
Shredded Kale
1 Cucumber
1 Cup sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 Cup of feta
Put quinoa on the stove and cook according to directions.
While quinoa is cooking, finely chop garlic. In a frying pan splash some olive oil and roast the garlic.
In a small bowl combine all dressing ingredients. As for the dill, add as much or little as you would like.
Chop cucumber and sun-dried tomatoes.
Cool down quinoa (I stick it in the freezer for 10 minutes)
In a bowl layer a handful of shredded Kale with a cup of quinoa. Top with chopped cucumber, sun-dried tomatoes and feta. Scoop a hearty spoonful of dressing.
If you want you can toss everything together...yum. Enjoy!
Magical Heat
Had some minor computer issues yesterday that prevented me from uploading pictures from my Sunday night dinner but I promise those will be coming soon.
It was a beautiful weekend here in San Francisco. With temperatures topping 80 degrees it was a must to be outside. The whole city had the same idea as me and it was almost as if a spell had been cast across us all.
Here are a few pics from the weekend...
Morning Treat
Today is one of the first true fall days in San Francisco. The air is a little crisper than usual and it seemed a little darker when I woke up.
I knew just what would brighten my day a little--a delicious scone from
Batter Bakery
. I have mentioned these scones before but I thought it was worth another mention for their buttery perfection. (Also, try their Lavender Shortbread Cookies, amazing!)
These pictures look a little sleepy and hazy, just how I'm feeling this morning.
Happy Thursday!
All taken with Hipstamatic on my iPhone
Special Flowers
This week I decided to buy some special flowers to brighten my week. I dont know if I would ever put together this combination and maybe that is why I like it so much. Enjoy
Jewelry Chest
I love my jewelry. I have always loved it since I was little. I have been building up quite a collection and wanted to share a few special pieces with you. Its not that these are expensive but I love to wear them and they have sentimental value to me.
I bought this necklace for my 21st birthday and I still wear it. I like the combination of metals. There is a similar one
This is the jewelry that I wear everyday. I got this
for my graduation, the
was from my birthday last year and I got the
for my birthday this year. I love how they all go together.
I've been collecting vintage lockets for awhile. I love all three of these and have been wearing them interchangeably.
I bought this a few months ago at a
vintage store
and love its unique shape and pretty green color.
Those of you have been following for awhile know that I love peacock feathers. These anthropologie earrings remind me of their bright feathers.
I love J.Crew, its no secret. This bracelet that I bought is unexpectedly an everyday purchase. They are still selling something similar
These earrings aren't anything but simple pearls but I couldn't show you my jewelry without them. I wear them most days and wouldn't have it any other way! Shop
I bought this ring when I got a promotion a year ago. It is my favorite stone (Chalcedony)and it is from an
amazing store
out of Spain.
As you can see, I like rewarding myself with jewelry...I bought this ring when I got my first raise. I love the vintage 20s look of it and the iridescent moonstone. Its from
local store.
I got this
while I was in Greece with my family. The color reminds me of the water in Santorini.
Lastly, my sister gave me this bracelet from Madewell. I like to wear it casually with a t-shirt. The black metal keeps it modern and a little moody.
Thanks for taking a little trip through memory lane with me! What's your favorite piece of jewelry?
Sunday Night Dinner
Okay so I will admit, I had a Sunday night dinner planned but it didn't go as planned (I'm sure it happens to Martha Stewart too) Instead of sharing a not-so-good recipe, I thought that I would share this amazing recipe from one of my favorite cooking blogs Spoon Fork Bacon. It combines the amazing flavors of fall. I want to try it out soon!
Here is the
A Proper Halloween
We all know that Halloween is right around the corner. Every year about a month ahead I know what I'm going to be. I've always been some sort of classy lady (depends on how you interpret "classy") I've been a dancer from Moulin Rouge, a Mad Men secretary and Snookie (ok maybe not classy).
This year I am being the classiest of them all...Kate Middleton.
This outfit is a no-brainer. It is cute and easy to put together. I am so excited!
Here is the look:
Fall TV Watch
A month after the pilot episodes, I feel like I can make a fair decision about the new crop of fall shows. The good news is that this fall is chock full of leading ladies who are smart and funny. Here are my picks...
New Girl
Great show. Love Zoey--she shows that dorky can be cool and hilarious. I'm happy that there is a show that shows us girls to embrace who we are.
Hart of Dixie
While this show may be a little fluffy and silly sometimes, it is a refreshing new take on the doctor show. It's also nice to see Rachel Bilson back on TV. Plus she has an awesome wardrobe.
Up All Night
What's not to love about Christina Applegate (I was such a fan of Samantha Who?) Maya Rudolph and Will Arnett. So funny.
Pan Am
This is my guilty pleasure. It is as fluffy as cotton candy but equally as fun. Jet setting, retro costumes and soap-opera-like storylines--perfect!

The Need For Adult Day Services In La Paz, Bolivia: Perceptions Of Professionals Working With Aged Adults Julieta Holguin (ABSTRACT) This research project addressed the need for an adult day services (ADS) program in La Paz, Bolivia. Adult day services are community-based programs that provide a variety of services to functionally impaired adults through an individual plan of care. Adult day services are structured, comprehensive programs that offer services during any part of the day but fewer than 24 hours. I examined professionals' perceptions and attitudes about the needs of old adults in La Paz and the importance and viability of implementing an ADS program to meet those needs. The political economy of aging perspective provided the theoretical framework for this study. This theory focuses on the way that values and prevalent societal attitudes influence people's views of the aged population and the type of programs they believe should be developed for the care of that population. The review of literature addresses the needs assessment process and the U.S. model for ADS. An overview of the current situation of the elderly population in La Paz is presented in order to portray the context in which new programs for seniors would be developed in that city. Study participants, who provide a variety of services to old adults and their families in La Paz, completed interviews regarding (a) their perceptions of the needs of the old adults of La Paz, (b) the significance of developing a new program for their care, and (c) the feasibility of implementing an ADS program. I used descriptive and associational statistics to assess the attitudes and perceptions of respondents, the similarities and differences among their responses, and possible influences on their viewpoints. I extracted common themes in answers to the open-ended questions by employing qualitative techniques. The results of the interviews revealed that although professionals perceive that societal views of old adults are very negative in La Paz, they also believe this segment of the population is in great need of services that provide better, more adequate physical, emotional, social, and medical care than the services that exist today. Professionals also believed that it is crucial to develop new programs that address these issues and they considered ADS to be a viable alternative to institutionalization. However, their ideas about the structure and activities offered by an ADS program were quite different than those of the standard U.S. model. In order for the implementation of an ADS program to be successful in Bolivia it would have to be adapted to the cultural and economic context of that country.

Released: Jun 01st, 2002
Running Time: 90
Director: Joey Silvera
Company: All Blew Shirts
Distribution Companies: Evil Angel
Aime, Flick Shagwell, Others, Brandon Iron, Sunshine (I), Mark Davis, Nacho Vidal, Avery, Angel (I), Joey Silvera, Gemini, Kelly Rock, Big Leah
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Fans of Silvera's masterful handiwork.
Yet another hell-fire hit from Joey Silvera, Runaway Butts 3 features a mouth-watering array of tender young derrieres and a hard-hitting lineup of veteran woodsmen to wax them. The opener, in which Gemini and Flick Shagwell offer up their kiesters to Silvera and a hung ebony stud, is a winner, although it begins and ends confusingly, with Brandon Iron in Silvera's place at the outset and an admirable drop shot from Iron as the scene's exclamation point.
Look too for Nacho Vidal's brief but intense go-round with buffed-out "former star athlete from the Czech Republic" Big Leah.
A winner.

Do the Dew
NBC Sports and the Dew Tour have been trying since 2005 to give action sports a season-long arc that fans of more traditional sports can follow: Rather than a one-off annual competition like the X Games, Dew tour athletes accumulate points over a series of events, collecting statistics that mainstream sportswriters can keep track of and building toward Dew Cup trophies and big cash prizes in each event.
Not quite the Super Bowl or the Stanley Cup, of course, but it's worked out pretty well for skateboarding and BMX; if you can only name one skateboarder in the world these days, it might be Ryan Sheckler or Chris Cole in place of Tony Hawk, thanks to the Dew Tour.
Last year, the tour expanded into winter events, with Breckenridge hosting the inaugural Winter Dew Tour competition for snowboarders and freeskiers. Now it's back for its sophomore run, today through December 20.
Colorado Springs rockers OneRepublic are performing on Friday and Saturday night, but the real show will be on the slopes. With every Olympic hopeful still in Colorado following last week's U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix at Copper Mountain, watch for fireworks in the halfpipe and slopestyle competitions. Olympic gold-medalists Shaun White and Kelly Clark added Dew Cups to their trophy cases last season and will be back for more, as will freeski frontrunners Tanner Hall and Per-Kristian Hunder.
To root for the home team, cheer for Breckenridge snowboard team rider Steve Fisher and freeskier Simon Dumont, a Keystone transplant from Maine. Both finished in second place overall in the halfpipe last year in their respective disciplines.

Reviewer(s): | Angulo, A. | |||
Contributor(s): | Hammerson, G.A. & Garcia Moreno, J. | |||
Facilitator/Compiler(s): | Garcia Moreno, J. | |||
Justification: Listed as Least Concern in view of its relatively wide distribution, tolerance of a degree of habitat modification and presumed large population. |
History: |
Range Description: | This species is found in extreme southwestern Washington south to extreme northwestern California, USA (Petranka 1998). It is found from sea level to about 1,000 m asl (Stebbins 1985). |
Countries: | Native: United States |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | Many unthreatened populations are known. |
Population Trend: | Stable |
Habitat and Ecology: | It is found along shady streams or stream seepages in wet rocky areas; in forests, talus slopes, moss-covered outcrops, often under rocks, logs, moss and leaf-litter. Animals may enter water to escape predators. Eggs are laid on land in moist crevices or cavities, where they develop directly without a larval stage. |
Systems: | Terrestrial; Freshwater |
Use and Trade: | There are no records of this species being utilized. |
Major Threat(s): | It is not strongly tied to old growth forest; it can be abundant in forests of all ages, though it is more likely to be present in logged forests when mature timber is present upstream (Corn and Bury 1991); hence, logging is not considered to be a major threat to this species. |
Conservation Actions: | No conservation measures are needed for this species. It occurs in many protected areas. |

Another US intervention in our affairs
When is Bush going to speak up on this issue?
Why can't these Yankees leave our law & order alone and study theirs, which is never better than any other coountries.
As usual, Foreign Minister Rais Yatim accused Washington of meddling in our country's domestic affairs – nothing more, nothing less. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi has yet to comment on Rice statements.
Whether its Anwar or Najib or anybody else, it is our domestic affairs. Others can comment but DON'T teach us what and how to address it.Another thing.
Rice spoke in Singapore, a neighbour already turning into 'pain in the ass'.

To arrest a 61 yr old man with almost 15 cops all dressed to kill is something no daring leader in our country has explained to the rakyaat yet.
The deadline was 200 pm....but they made him look worse than a dangerous criminal at exactly 1255pm.
They have still not provided the police report to him .
And the biggeset idiot says the DNA taken 10 yrs ago sudah lama.
Pray tell me....if the US does not make noise....will our elected reps tell us the truth ?
Don't quesion Uncle Sam....they are doing a favor to us Malaysians.

It means that to produce a full file name from a relative directory "c:" and a relative file name "bar", a function should yield "c:./bar". Is this really relevant to file-name-sans-extension? The directory it uses is the one that was in the argument file name. If it was valid there, it should be equally valid in the result. If it is not valid in the result, I guess it was not valid in the argument.

Chris Gardner offers message of hope, opportunities during keynote in Omaha
By Katie Knapp
Omaha, NE – CEO and motivational speaker Chris Gardner says bad economic times are an opportunity for people to explore what they really want to do.
Gardner was the keynote speaker Monday at an event honoring seven Nebraska youth for overcoming obstacles and serving their communities. The winners of the D.J.'s Hero Awards receive a scholarship. The awards are sponsored by the Salvation Army.
Gardner was homeless and raising a son in the 1980s when he joined a brokerage firm's training program. He's now the CEO of Chris Gardner International Holdings. Gardner's life story was the basis of the 2006 movie "The Pursuit of Happyness."
He says young people should do something they really love, even if others don't support it. Gardner says they should also tune out negative messages in the media and listen to their true feelings.

The association's office is located at 1449 N. 20 E, American Fork, Utah 84003. There are fourteen local unit associations located throughout the state each with a local unit president. The association holds two meetings each year: A Leadership Meeting in May, and an Annual Meeting in October, The Utah Retired School Employees Association is made up of a nine member Executive Board and an Executive Director which are all volunteer positions.
The association encourages all retired educators to join. An associate membership is also offered to those who have an interest in education in Utah. Every association member receives four newsletters each year that contain information on current and pending issues of interest and importance to the membership.
Each retired school employee has unique goals and interests, but all are concerned about their retirement and benefits. The collective efforts of the Utah Executive Board, and many volunteers have been directed toward the protection and enhancement of retirement and benefits. In conjunction with district and local units, URSEA promotes activities that support the members and their communities by offering social, informational and service opportunities. Many members of the association also join NRTA, AARP's Educator Community, and AARP.
Through the years, the members of the Utah Retired School Employees Association have worked together to create a strong, viable, and professional organization, and the association looks forward to carrying this legacy far into the future. If you have any questions about URSEA, please contact us.
