Sarcoidosis facts
What is sarcoidosis?
Reader Stories
Sarcoidosis is a disease that results from a specific type of inflammation of tissues of the body. It can appear in almost any body organ, but it starts most often in the lungs or lymph nodes.
The cause of sarcoidosis is unknown. The disease can appear suddenly and disappear. Or it can develop gradually and go on to produce symptoms that come and go, sometimes for a lifetime.
As sarcoidosis progresses, microscopic lumps of a specific form of inflammation, called granulomas, appear in the affected tissues. In the majority of cases, these granulomas clear up, either with or without treatment. In the few cases where the granulomas do not heal and disappear, the tissues tend to remain inflamed and become scarred (fibrotic).
Sarcoidosis was first identified over 100 years ago by two dermatologists working independently, Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson in England and Dr. Caesar Boeck in Norway. Sarcoidosis was originally called Hutchinson's disease or Boeck's disease. Dr. Boeck went on to fashion today's name for the disease from the Greek words "sark" and "oid," meaning flesh-like. The term describes the skin eruptions that are frequently caused by the illness.

Temporary fix to I-5 bridge could be up within 3 weeks
Gov. Jay Inslee announces that temporary I-5 spans should be in place over the Skagit River by mid-June, with permanent repairs complete this fall.
Associated Press
A collapsed section of the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River is seen in an aerial view Friday. Part of the bridge collapsed Thursday evening, sending cars and people into the water when a an oversized truck hit the span.
Associated Press
Workers walk past the collapsed portion of the I-5 bridge at the Skagit River on Friday in Mount Vernon. A truck carrying an oversize load struck the four-lane bridge on the major thoroughfare between Seattle and Canada, sending a section of the span and two vehicles into the Skagit River below Thursday evening.
Associated Press
A dented upper right corner and a scrape along the upper side are visible on the "oversize load" equipment casing being hauled a truck parked southbound on I-5 south of the collapsed portion of the highway bridge at the Skagit River on Friday in Mount Vernon. The truck struck the four-lane bridge on the major thoroughfare between Seattle and Canada Thursday evening, sending a section of the span and two vehicles into the Skagit River. All three occupants suffered only minor injuries. At an overnight news conference, Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste blamed the collapse on the tractor-trailer carrying a tall load that hit an upper part of the span.
Sunday's announcement comes a day after the chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board called last week's I-5 bridge collapse a wake-up call to the state of safety of the nation's infrastructure and the Saturday destruction of a highway overpass in Missouri that was struck by a cargo train.
The I-5 collapse, caused by a semi-truck carrying an oversize load striking the bridge, fractured one of the major trade and travel corridors on the West Coast. The interstate connects the state with Canada, which is about an hour north of Mount Vernon, where the bridge buckled.
After the collapse, semi-trucks, travel buses and cars clogged local bridges as traffic was diverted through the small cities around the bridge. But overall, traffic was flowing as well as expected during the holiday weekend.
"We're going to get this project done as fast as humanly possible," Inslee, a Democrat, said Sunday. "There are no more important issue right now to the economy of the state of Washington than getting this bridge up and running."
Inslee said he hopes the temporary spans, each with two lanes for northbound and southbound traffic, will be finished in about three weeks' time or about mid-June. The spans will be pre-built and trucked to Mount Vernon.
The state plan also calls for a permanent span to be built and competed by autumn, officials said.
Officials say there are remaining inspections to the spans left standing to make sure they are safe to use.
The federal government is expected to cover 100 percent of the costs of the temporary bridge and 90 percent the replacement, said state Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson.
The temporary span would be able to carry regular-sized cargos as well as cars. The speed limit would be lower than the 60 miles per hour allowed previously.
Barges arrived this weekend at the river with equipment ready to remove the mangled steel, pavement and cars in the water.
On Thursday, a semi-truck carrying an oversize load clipped a steel truss, starting the collapse of the span and sending cars and people into the cold river waters, authorities said. The three people in the cars survived with non-life threatening injuries.
An investigation by The Associated Press suggests similar accidents could happen elsewhere. Thousands of bridges around the U.S. are kept standing by engineering design, rather than sheer size or redundant protections. Such spans may be one freak accident or mistake away from collapse.
Bridge regulators call them "fracture critical" bridges, because if a single, vital component is compromised, they can crumple.
NTSB Chairwoman Debbie Hersman said such bridges and other kinds of bridges around the nation should be looked at.
"The wake-up call is really to focus on how important our infrastructure is to our nation, certainly for our commerce and keeping communities vibrant and connected," she said Sunday, adding that when important decisions are made about infrastructure, safety should have "a seat at the table."
Hersman said on Sunday said the bridge had withstood other over height collisions with vehicles in the past, with the most recent reported collision happening last October. She said evidence of other collisions can be seen in the spans still standing over the water.
Hersman also said a second truck with a similar cargo was traveling behind the truck involved in the collision. She said investigators are inspecting that cargo and truck to take measurements. The truck involved in the collision has also been moved off the highway on-ramp where it has been parked since Thursday.
Hersman also said investigators have traveled to Alberta, Canada to inspect the trucking company's records.
The NTSB head also said that if the truck had been on the left lane of the southbound lanes, it likely would have cleared the bridge without a collision, but added that more precise measurements need to be taken. The bridge's height clearance varies across it.
"We know the company was required to establish that they could clear the entire route," Hersman said.
The truck's cargo from Canada was headed to Alaska. Its plan was to load the cargo onto a barge in Vancouver, Wash., about 275 miles south of the border crossing. Hersman said she didn't know why the plan called to use a port a couple of hundred miles away from other ports.
Associated Press Donna Gordon Blankinship contributed to this report.

I have always owned and used Koflach boots since the 1980's. I know that there are a lot of new leather boots coming out now that are a bit lighter, and said to be perhaps a tad less stiff - and they probably ARE. But, I didn't find the weight between the leather boots and these all that much different per se, I looked at the LaSportiva's at a store and they seemed about as stiff to me, and - at a $510 price tag, I opted to go with the Koflach's instead. Great fit, super warm - and there is no way I am going to have to worry about getting wet feet - ever! I like them alot! These have been proven on extreme mountains such a Everest, K2, etc.
I used these boots for a climb of Mt Lafayette in NH on December 27, 2012 (the day of winter storm Euclid). We climbed on through extremely high winds, deep snow drifts, and practically zero visibility above tree line. This is my first experience with plastic boots and I was very pleased that my feet were warm the whole time despite deep snow drifts and a cold windchill. They performed exceptionally well with Black Diamond Contact crampons. I normally wear a 9.5 shoe/ boot and I bought a 10 which fits fine with one heavy wool sock. I plan to use these for a Mt Washington winter hike and Mt Rainier.
These the third pair of double plastic boots I've used and they are by far the best. The other being the Scarpa Inverno and the Koflach Degre.The liners are removable, so they're easy to dry, even if you just sleep with them in your sleeping bag overnight. The outer shell of the boot so very sturdy, with just enough ankle flex so that walking up sleep slopes isn't uncomfortable.Buy them and never suffer cold feet again.

Save the Date magnets
I loved how easy it was to personalize all of the preset designs on the website! The options for everything was very user friendly! The cost and options of what to actually order is so wide that there is definitely something for everyone and all styles!
Just Perfect :)
I ended up getting the 3.5" x 4" sizing and it was just right. Not too big and not too small like some of the ones I have received from people. Everything was easy to read, the picture was clear, and it was very easy to modify. I was drawn to the design because of the Daisy and pink & black color scheme. For me, the perfect combo! I think the style of the magnet has a medium of the road wedding feel to it. For me, some of the other designs were either too generic (could be used for any occasion) or were just over the top with the wedding theme. The quality of the magnets was excellent. I was very excited to receive them and it was a bonus that they arrived early. I highly recommend this design and Magnet Street.
Beautiful Save the Date
I was so pleased to receive our Save the Date magnets. They are beautiful and I have received many complements. The quality is great, and well represented by the sample package I received. The photograph, color selection and font choice was wonderful and came together exactly as I hoped for.
I could not be happier with these magnets. The colors I used for mine are much darker, giving this design a completely different look. Don't be afraid to click on different designs and play around with the colors and fonts, it really can transform some of the designs and give it a whole different feeling. The picture I used looks perfect and the quality is great. The magnet is a good weight, not flimsy and I think this size is perfect, not too tiny and not overwhelmingly big. Just an fyi, you won't need to use extra postage to mail these- even with the carrier card and envelope. I actually brought everything-magnet, carrier, and envelope to the post office and had them weigh it to find out. A regular stamp will suffice for these.
Mini save the date magnets
I stumbled upon this site via google and I was extremely impressed from beginning to end. The designs and customizable options were so easy to use and the entire process of placing an order to the delivery of the items went smoothly and quickly. I was actually quite astonished at how fast the magnets were delivered.

Installation of a water softening system can prevent most future problems. If that isn't an option, keep areas that get stained as dry as possible. Keep a squeegee and a spray bottle with lemon juice in the shower. Squeegee after every shower. Spray the shower walls and head with lemon juice and wash with a damp sponge once a week. Dry basins and faucets after use.
Once you clean off those nasty hard water deposits, it's best to clean them well and often. Otherwise, you will have to exert a lot of energy -- or resort to harsh chemicals -- to get them clean again!

Tiger Woods is having his worst tournament performance since turning pro in 1996, RadarOnline.com has confirmed.
PHOTOS: Tiger And Elin In Happier Times
Woods is playing in the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, an event he has won seven times. At the end of Saturday's play, Tiger was tied for 78the place. There are 80 players competing. It's a stunning implosion of Woods' once unbeatable game.
Today's round of 75 was Tiger's worst ever in the 47 professional rounds he's played at the Firestone Country Club in Akron Ohio, and his worst-ever round in relationship to par on any course since he started on the PGA tour in 1996.
PHOTOS: Tiger & Elin Throw A Birthday Party For Their Daughter
The final indignity? Unless rival Phil Mickelson somehow self-destructs, he will take over as the world's # 1 ranked golfer when the Bridgestone Invitational wraps up Sunday. That's a position Tiger has held for a staggering 270 weeks.
Then again, the meltdown of Tiger's marriage to Elin Nordegren has been one of the most staggering scandals in celebrity history.

Good overall worth the money...
I am pleased with my invitations and thank you cards, also got RSVP's next it will be my wedding menu etc...
wedding invitations
These turned out great. They sent us an example before we had to order all of them. I also really like that you can change the colors right on the website and see what the final product will look like. Other websites have the colors but won't let you change the colors right then so I will always use magnetstreet in the future!
Wedding invites
I couldn't have asked for a better quality of invitations everything turned out so perfect and everything was priced so reasonable. I would recommend this site to all the brides
My wedding invitations came out perfect! I was a little concerned when I personalized them that the color wouldn't be right but to my surprise it was exactly what I wanted. They were delivered very quickly and I even received more invitations then I ordered! They also offer discount codes I received $75 off of my purchase of $300! I recommend giving them your email address before purchasing to take advantage of any offers that they may be having. I am very satisfied and would recommend this site to any bride!

What a great card! Great quality, great packaging to reach me, great customer service! Just great all around! I will be using Magnet Street in the future and I asked my Maid of Honor to use them for other necessary invites as well!

Photos: [top] Jack and [bottom] Jill, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
Can you imagine leaving your pets behind in your former home, even in the worst possible circumstances? We can't either. And yet, after Jerome Smith, 23, was evicted from his Harlem apartment, he chose to do just that to his six-month-old puppies.
When New York City Animal Care & Control officers opened the door to Smith's former home in September, they found Terrier mix puppies Jack and Jill, all alone and in bad shape.
The officers called ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, and our agents brought the pups to the ASPCA Animal Hospital right away.
ASPCA veterinarians found Jack and Jill to be dehydrated, malnourished and severely underweight. Jack weighed 12.7 pounds and Jill weighed 8.5 pounds. By contrast, after being fed a balanced diet and receiving treatment by ASPCA staff, Jack now weighs 36.5 pounds and Jill weighs 30.3 pounds—a 187 and 256 percent increase, respectively.
The ASPCA arrested Smith in December. He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
Jack and Jill's story ends happily. On January 13, Jill was adopted! Jack is waiting for a forever family at the ASPCA Adoption Center, located in Manhattan. To learn more about how you can adopt Jack, please visit the ASPCA Adoption Center online.
Update 1/18/13: We are thrilled to report that Jack was adopted!
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please report it.
He should NEVER be allowed to have another animal or ever having kids! What the hell is causing 2-legged creatures to turn into such monsters? God help us all. . . .
People who abuse animals are sociopaths and are at high risk for abusing/killing people. Let's save time and prevent that by taking these pieces of crap out back and shooting them! I would live in my car or on the street before I'd leave my animals!
How could anyone mistreat a animal. They give so much unconditional love
All I can say is I wish I had an endless amount of money like A super hero so I could become an animal crime fighter and save the animals and whoop up on the people causing the abuse. if anyone has the money and wants to fund their own personal Animal Crime Fighter let me know.
Every abused animal needs a HERO! Will you be that Hero?
Unfortunately inhumans that do this sort of horrific act don't receive the penalty that they deserve..a misdemeanor should have been a felony. What those puppies must have endured is heartbreaking....they should throw him in a cell and do the same to that peice of scum...let him endure what those poor innocent animals went thru...
When are these people going to be severely punished? Is it time for an eye for an eye? Enough is enough!!! The strictess punishment is necessary. Get the word out, if you do this you will be accountable for your actions.
i cant believe people who have no regard for an animals life. they should put this piece of shit in jail and starve him. maybe he would learn then.he shoulsnt be able to have another pet as long as he lives.thank god these poor babies were adopted and will be shown that not all humans are evil.
How could he? Why did he? You can see the differenc in their faces before and after.why not just tkae them to a shelter/
There should be a minimum of a 5 year sentence. Up to two years of prison time, means he will probably only get 6 months. That's not long enough for a psychopath.
to just drop them off at a shelter, any shelter if you can't care for them any longer?

Arkansas Governor addresses Girls State at Harding University
Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe addressed the 71st session of Arkansas Girls State at Harding University May 29. This was the University's 23rd year to host the event.
Girls State is a program created by the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Arkansas to allow high school juniors to participate in hands-on citizenship training.
Upon reaching the podium, Beebe asked for the Girls State participants representing the Federalists to identify themselves, followed by the Nationalists. Each group cheered. But when he asked who among them were Arkansans, the auditorium erupted with shouts of joy and pride.
"The point of that exercise it to illustrate that it's OK to have elections, and it's OK to present your candidates," Beebe said. "It's OK to argue different issues. It's OK to have a good, healthy contest. But in the final analysis, when it's over, whoever is elected serves us all, whether you're a nationalist or federalist, because we're all Arkansans."
High school juniors throughout Arkansas are selected each year for their interest in government, honesty, leadership ability and good character. Nearly 900 girls from across the state arrived on campus May 26 to spend the week learning elements of government by establishing an imaginary state and holding elections of public officials on local, county and state levels.

The Mojo SL is a super lightweight, pedaling machine. The long travel and light weight make it an all new species. It has blurred the lines between an all mountain bike and a cross- country bike.
Birthed from the Ibis Mojo Carbon, the Carbon SL is a bit lighter and more refined. Most notably, the carbon fiber composite layup was enhanced by using higher modulus fibers which dropped the weight, and make the bike stronger. The dropouts are compression molded carbon fiber, which makes them much lighter than the aluminum ones found on the original Mojo Carbon. In order keep their durability, the dropouts use stainless steel inserts. The head cups and seat tube inserts are carbon as well. To add the finishing touch, the steel hardware has been replaced with titanium.
Ibis utilizes DW-Link suspension for their Mojo line. There are many great advantages for choosing this suspension type. DW-Link has a rearward path only near sag, which is enough to counter- act pedal bob. DW- Link also creates a balancing force to eliminate squat caused by load transfer. This force is tuned for a balanced anti- squat in the first two positions of the travel, which reduces pedal feedback. It allows the suspension to feel efficient without the need for excessive low speed compression damping.

One of Willamette University's most famous alumni died 100 years ago this September. Although John Waldo, Class of 1863, served in the Oregon Legislature and as chief justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, he is best remembered for his visionary efforts — and success — in protecting the Cascade Mountain range. Waldo left a wilderness legacy that stretches 250 miles, from Mount Hood in the north through Mount Jefferson, Three Sisters and Crater Lake, and on to Sky Lakes and Mountain Lakes in southern Oregon.
Many Americans are familiar with John Muir, the founder of the modern wilderness preservation movement and the driving force behind the creation of Yosemite National Park. While Muir worked for wilderness protection in California, Waldo introduced legislation to protect Oregon's Cascade Mountains and pled his case all the way to the White House.
Waldo was born to pioneer parents in 1844, east of Salem in what are now called the Waldo Hills. There were only seven faculty members — including Jason Lee's daughter Lucy — when he attended "Wallamet University," and classes were held in the Old Institute, a three-story wooden building with three classrooms. Waldo and other members of the Class of 1863 paid $15 in tuition and pored over Latin, Greek, Plato, Homer and "moral science" in addition to reading, writing and arithmetic. They used Webster's dictionary as a classroom manual, a rain gauge donated from the Smithsonian Institute, and engravings of the human stomach meant to illustrate the "evils of drunkenness." When studies got too serious, students rigged a bucket of water over the door to douse an unsuspecting entrant.
Waldo probably picked up the legal trade by apprenticing himself to a lawyer since Willamette's law school wouldn't be established for another 20 years. The capitol city of 4,500 would have been an excellent place to obtain a legal education, as it had more than its share of practicing lawyers. Along the way he married Clara Humason, whom he called "the sweetest of the earth."
The Civil War had just ended, and Oregon's Willamette Valley was still a remote place at the edge of the continent. Although the river valley was home to 40,000 settlers, 90 percent of the land had not yet seen a plow, and oak savannas and prairies stretched for miles. Reporter Samuel Bowles wrote in 1865, "Oregon is … a revelation. It has rarer natural beauties … than I had dreamed of." Bowles called the Willamette Valley the "garden of Oregon."
In spite of Waldo's reserved nature, the attorney ran a successful campaign for the Oregon Supreme Court in 1880. He was elected chief justice in 1884 and served as a progressive Republican in the 1888 Oregon State Legislature. He was known for his gentleness and his charming conversation — likely the result of voracious reading — and was heavily influenced by Thoreau and Emerson and their vision of wilderness as refuge.
Indeed, the wilderness had become Waldo's refuge, but in an unintended way. Sickly as a child, Waldo suffered bouts of asthma all his life. Doctors advised the frail patient to go up into the mountains. The cool, clear air, they said, would prove the tonic he needed.
And the wilderness did heal, but in a more profound way. Waldo developed an intense spiritual connection with the Cascades; they became the defining landscape of his life. Although he considered his farmstead "the fairest spot on the globe," he acknowledged "in the woods I seem at home."
Each summer, Waldo loaded packhorses with flour, cheese and butter, and disappeared for months. He and four or five companions would follow the crest of the sprawling mountain range, exploring from the Columbia River Gorge to California's Mount Shasta. They fished the streams, caught antelope, cooked venison, jerked bear meat and gathered huckleberries. They cooked over campfires, slept in tents and listened to the howls of Oregon's last wolves.
Waldo became intimately familiar with Oregon's flora and fauna. He visited Crater Lake when it was virtually unknown and saw one of the last grizzly bears that roamed the area.
While the grizzly bears were moving out, the sheep were moving in. In the 1800s, the Cascades were seen as a place to run sheep and draw off timber, and restrictions were unheard of. Before too long, unlimited grazing had left mountain slopes denuded, riverways trampled and watersheds damaged — prodding the reticent judge to embark on a career as Oregon's first conservationist. Waldo's ideas were revolutionary in the late 1800s — and still are. His protectionist vision was not limited to one peak or to a select canyon, but to the entire Cascade range. When he first suggested the outlandish idea to a like-minded friend, the man assumed he was joking.
Waldo introduced state legislation to protect the Cascades, which passed in the House but failed in the Senate, done in by the sheep industry. Waldo then appealed to President Grover Cleveland, asking him to set aside a large remnant of the state as a forest preserve. The proposal seemed doomed. Oregon's most powerful monied interests sent emissaries to Washington to bend the president's ear in the opposite direction. Waldo responded with a public awareness campaign, urging Oregonians to protect their communal watersheds and pressing home the importance of "communion with untrammeled nature and the free air," up where "the spirit is enlarged."
"Blessed be the mountains and the free and untenanted wilderness. … The high wild hills about here, totally unfenced and uncultivated, are good for eyes that would not have the world altogether cut up into cabbage patches."
— John B. Waldo, former Oregon chief justice
Letters poured forth from ordinary Oregonians across the state, but the single letter that likely persuaded President Cleveland came from the judge. Waldo's letter reflected his intellect, his intimate knowledge of the Cascades, and his deeply held convictions; it remains one of the great masterpieces of conservationist literature, an eloquent sermon in defense of wilderness. He argued that spiritual interests should be balanced with material interests, and wrote, "A wise government will know that to raise men is much more important than to raise sheep."
President Cleveland upheld Waldo's vision, bequeathing to all Americans the soaring volcanic peaks, pristine lakes and tranquil forests of the Cascade Range Forest Reserve.
Waldo made his final trip to his beloved Cascades in August 1907. The 63-year-old rode his horse up the familiar trail toward Mount Jefferson and wrote his last journal entry: "Blessed be the mountains and the free and untenanted wilderness. … The high wild hills about here, totally unfenced and uncultivated, are good for eyes that would not have the world altogether cut up into cabbage patches."
Waldo tried to join some of the younger members of the party on an ascent up Jefferson but faltered on a high ridge and turned back. The following day, his asthmatic lungs failing, he was evacuated by stretcher from his lakeside camp and met his dear Clara in the small mountain town of Detroit. He died 12 days later.
Salem's Capitol Journal ran its headline in large block letters: Death Claims a Noble Man. "He grew up in touch with nature … a man such as nature's teaching molds. To him the mountains with their purpling canyons and glittering snow peaks were a book to which there was no end."
The name of this Willamette alumnus is imprinted across the landscape, including his namesake, Waldo Lake, which forms the headwaters of the Willamette River. Deep and almost perfectly clear, it is one of the purest bodies of water in the world.
The Cascade Range Forest Reserve, Waldo's legacy, has evolved into 19 federally protected wilderness areas, and like Waldo, Oregonians have come to define themselves by the sweeping mountain range that forms the backbone of their landscape.
Judge John B. Waldo: Oregon's John Muir was written by Salem naturalist Bobbie Snead. The book covers Waldo's life and accomplishments, and includes historic photos, original journal entries and letters. It is available at the Willamette Store on campus.

You can also view this video as Rest of the Children on YouTube.
I heard God's voice speak to me like this…once.
And I'll never forget it.
Isn't it amazing how He will work through us, in us, around us when we listen to Him?!
What a wonderful story you've shared, Wess. Thanks for letting us be a part of the vision…
Thank you so much for making these movies and sharing the stories of Compassion. I am blessed to see what God has done through you and how you have been faithfull to his calling.
I also appreciated seeing the picutre of my grandfather, Ed Kimball. I know that he is smiling down from heaven right looking at all of the lives that have been and are being changed.
For the children. Thank you.
It's so special to hear this story again, Wess. When we bury something — such as I have done in the mountains as well — it really turns that place into an altar, doesn't it? Even if you think of the burial of a person, it becomes an altar, for we are placing them in His hands, out of our reach and control. The only One, obviously, that can raise them again is God HImself, in His way and time. Similarly, the only One that can raise up to fulfillment this prairie vision is God, and He is doing it, one child at a time. I'm so privileged to be a part of this ministry.
I love learning new intriguing things about Compassion that continues to encourage my faith!!!
I'm in tears again because of the heart of this ministry…and the willingness of its leaders to be obedient and faithful to God.
Thank you.
Hi Wess, I wrote a comment earlier and when I click "your ground rules" to find out, my message gone, not sure if it went through if not, Here's another one. It happened that I stumbled into your web and listen to your video, "what happen to the rest of the children". Your compassion is very obvious to many. I'm glad that there are people like you who followed and obeyed Jesus commands to help and love the poor especially children. I was born in the Philippines and experienced poverty through this, I have a desire in my heart to help families who can't afford to send their children to school, but Iam limitted, no job etc. Perhaps, this is God's will that I stumbled into your website so I can seek help for their behalf. There are many areas in Phils. that families and children needs help both physical and spiritual, they're truly in need. Churches members coulden't afford to send their kids to school. I've been there & I knew these people… Hope and pray that someday, somehow your ministry is able to contact them and share the blessings that God has entrusted to you.I believe that God is using your ministry to save people from poverty both physical and spiritual. I pray that He'll continue to guide you and your staff in the field in honesty and integrity to glorify His name and someday He'll say, well done good and faithful servant. I am happy to volunteer in your ministry, just let me know what I can do. I believe Jesus return is very near and He's looking for more workers… I believe working in God's company is very satisfactory inspite of difficulties. May be this is the reason why I don't have a job at the moment bec. He wants me to work for Him. If you don't trust me it's ok. To let you know, thank you for helping my people. God bless to all of you.
Hi Angie!

Dog Colon Cancer
Dog Colon Cancer
Any change in your dog's personality or physical appearance is a cause for investigation. Dog symptoms can vary drastically with colon cancer.
Signs and Symptoms
There are two types of colon cancer that are experienced by dogs. One is adenocarcinoma and the other is lymphoma. The adenocarcinoma affects the anal glands of your dog. The lymphoma affects the lymphoid tissues in the intestines, which leads to Dog Lymphoma Cancer.
Your dog will develop Dog Diarrhea and Dog Vomiting. This will cause a Dog Weight Loss and significant Dog Loss of Appetite. Your dog can quickly become dehydrated. There can be mucus or blood in the stool and your dog may eventually experience Dog Constipation.
Your dog may have rashes, weakness and noticeable hair loss. They can also manifest changes in their normal behavior, but either becoming seemingly aggressive or otherwise extremely shy.
The diagnosis of colon cancer in dogs is usually done through a veterinary investigation. This initial investigation will rule out irritable bowel syndrome and the possibility of colitis. Blood tests will determine potential diagnosis through specific properties in the blood. Your vet will manually check your dog's abdomen in a search for any Dog Cancer Lumps, masses and tenderness. Urinalysis and stool samples will determine if there are additional causes for the symptoms. Finally, a biopsy of your dog's colon will provide a definitive diagnosis.
Treatment Options
Colon cancer in dogs will be treated with Dog Cancer Chemotherapy and surgery. Post surgery, your dog will be placed on a restricted Dog Cancer Diets, available through your veterinarian or through a prescription. The prognosis for dogs is different for each type of tumor. It will also be dependent on whether the tumor can be removed safely or not.
Home care
Both surgery and chemotherapy can cause Dog Pain in your beloved dog. Your veterinarian will certainly prescribe pain medication. This medication should be administered as directed. If you can keep your dog as comfortable as possible following treatment, the length of recovery time can be decreased. Try to keep up with your Dog Palliative Cancer Care by making sure that not only is your dog comfortable, but also that your follow your veterinarians recommendations as to your dog's diet and pain relief.
With invasive abdominal surgery, your dog may require a memory foam bed to sleep on for comfort as well as to more evenly distribute the pressure he or she may be feeling after the surgery. Less pressure on the surgical area will certainly result in less pain.
