Why Get Tested?
To identify the specific antibody detected by a direct antiglobulin test (DAT) or RBC antibody screen; to help identify the cause of a transfusion reaction, hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), or hemolytic anemia
When to Get Tested?
When a DAT or RBC antibody screen is positive; when a transfusion reaction is susptected or when a newborn has HDN
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Red blood cell antibodies are proteins produced by the body's immune system directed against "foreign" red blood cells (RBCs). This test identifies the specific red blood cell antibodies present in the blood of an individual who has a positive screening test for RBC antibodies (an RBC antibody screen or direct antiglobulin test, DAT).
Each individual inherits a specific combination of RBC antigens, structures found on the surface of the cells, including those associated with the major blood types A, B, AB, and O. Normally, people will only produce antibodies directed against "foreign" antigens not found on their own cells. All individuals naturally produce antibodies against the A and/or B antigens that are not on their own RBCs. For example, a person who is blood type A will have antibodies in their blood to the B antigen.
Another important RBC antigen is an Rh antigen called the D antigen. People either have the D antigen on their RBCs (Rh-positive) or do not (Rh-negative). Antibodies to the D antigen are not naturally-occurring; a person who is Rh-negative produces antibodies only after being exposed to RBCs from another person that has the D antigen, for example, a mother exposed to her baby's RBCs during pregnancy or during a blood transfusion.
Blood that is to be transfused must be compatible with the recipient's ABO and Rh blood type because ABO and Rh antibodies present in the recipient's blood have the potential to rapidly destroy (hemolyze) the transfused RBCs and cause serious complications. Antibodies to the major blood types are routinely identified using blood typing tests and blood for transfusion is matched with the ABO and Rh blood type of the recipient. (For more on this, see Blood Typing and Blood Banking.)
In addition to these ABO and Rh blood group antigens, there are numerous other RBC blood group antigens, such as Kell, Kidd, Duffy, and other Rh antigens. Antibodies to these antigens are not made naturally and are only produced by the body when exposed to them through blood transfusion or when a mother is exposed to a baby's blood cells during pregnancy, labor and delivery. These antibodies may or may not be associated with adverse reactions, and identification of the specific type of RBC antibody present in a person's blood may be important in avoiding these reactions.
Antibody identification tests that classify antibodies directed against RBC antigens other than ABO are performed when the presence of an antibody is detected through a positive antibody screen (DAT or RBC antibody screen). This screen may be done as part of a "type and screen," which is ordered in situations such as:
- Part of a prenatal workup
- When a blood transfusion has been ordered
- Following a suspected transfusion reaction
- Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)
- Suspected autoimmune hemolytic anemia (in which the body inappropriately makes antibodies against antigens on its own red blood cells)
Complications can develop when a person with an RBC antibody is again exposed to RBCs bearing the "foreign" antigen, whether by another transfusion or pregnancy. The RBC antibodies may attach to the specific antigens on the foreign RBCs and target them for destruction. Depending on the antigen and antibody involved and the quantity of RBCs affected, this can cause a reaction ranging from mild to severe and potentially life-threatening. Antibody/antigen combinations capable of causing RBC destruction are called clinically significant. The reaction may happen immediately, such as during a blood transfusion, or take longer, from one to several days or longer following a transfusion. When antibodies attach to antigens, the red blood cells can be destroyed, called hemolysis. This can occur within the blood vessels or in the liver or spleen. Hemolysis can cause symptoms and signs such as fever, chills, nausea, flank pain, low blood pressure, bloody urine, and jaundice.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.

Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Good but has one problem
Loved these, but the only issue I had is that they didn't stick super well to the vellum band that went around my invitations, I just hope that when they are in the envelope they will stick long enough for people to take it out!!
These seals were purchased to hold the end of the vellum together but they are quite exquisite. I will have some leftover and will find other uses for them so they don't go to waste.
Awesome color and design! A bit larger than I originally thought, but will look great to seal my pocket-folds. You cannot go wrong for the price.

Comments about Easton EA90 Stem 2013:
I bought a white EA90 stem with 0 degree rise for one of my road bikes to upgrade from the OE stem that was a bit too short. I chose white since my frame is white and thought it would look good together. Easton products always have that "bling" quality to me, from their wheels to their stems. It's the bold lettering. So the stem looks great on the bike.
Functionally, the stem works great. Easy install, carbon bar friendly, light and sturdy. No creaks, or bending when pumping hard on the bars.
My issue is with the look of the white bar. The finish is dull, which is fine, but that matte finish also stains easily. There are a few spots here and there when my greasy fingers touch it, leaving light gray marks. Not too bad, just noticeable. I had my Garmin Edge mounted on the stem using the supplied mount (plastic mount with rubber bands). When I put on a different mount, the other mount left a strange tan mark on the stem. Mind you the mount is black. The mark is a stain, won't come off with soap, goo gone, anything. Why the white stem stains like that from the mount baffles me. It's an eye sore, takes away from the looks a bit, but the function is fine. I ended up using white touch up paint to cover. I mentioned that it's a zero degree since the labeling is only running one direction, so it's not like I can flip the stem to get the mark facing the ground. I could, but then the label is up side down.
Overall I give it three stars. Would have been four since it's not head and shoulders better then other stems out there, but the staining on the white bar is a concern. Go classic, go black if you buy this solid stem.

Published June 2009
Abusers who complete batterer programs are less likely to reabuse than those who fail to attend, are noncompliant, or drop
out. [9, 30, 48, 54, 87, 90, 183] The differences can be substantial.
A Chicago study of more than 500 court-referred batterers referred to 30 different programs found that recidivism after an
average of 2.4 years was 14.3 percent for those who completed the program, whereas recidivism for those who did not complete
the programs was more than twice that (34.6 percent). [12] Those who did not complete their program mandate in the Bronx court study were four times more likely to recidivate than
those who completed their program. [183]
The multistate study of four programs found that abusers who completed the programs reduced their risk of reassault in a range
of 46 to 66 percent. [86] A Florida study found that the odds that abusers who completed the program would be rearrested were half those of a control
group not assigned to the program, whereas the odds of rearrest for those who failed to attend were two and one-half times
higher than the control group. [60]
A Massachusetts study found that, over a six-year period, those who completed a certified batterer intervention program were
significantly less likely to be rearraigned for any type of offense, a violent offense or a protection order violation. (Massachusetts
does not have a domestic violence statute, so researchers could not differentiate domestic from nondomestic violence offenses.)
The rate differences for these offenses, between those who completed a program and those who did not, was as follows: 47.7
vs. 83.6 percent for any crime, 33.7 vs. 64.2 percent for a violent crime, and 17.4 vs. 41.8 percent for violation of a protective
order. [18] The Dallas study found that twice as many program dropouts as program completers were rearrested within 13 months: 39.7 vs.
17.9 percent for any charge, and 8.1 vs. 2.8 percent for assault arrests. [53] An Alexandria, Va., study of almost 2,000 domestic violence defendants found that noncompliance with court-ordered treatment
was associated significantly with being a repeat offender. [172]
While some studies have found reduced reabuse for abusers who completed treatment programs, a few studies have found less
dramatic reductions, for example, in Broward County, where the difference was only 4 percent vs. 5 percent [61], and in Brooklyn, where it was 16 percent vs. 26 percent. [205]
Compliance with mandated batterer intervention programs provides prosecutors and judges with a dynamic risk instrument based
on a defendant's ongoing current behavior. Reabuse can be prevented if prosecutors and courts respond appropriately and expeditiously
to batterers who fail to attend or to comply with court-referred batterer intervention programs. (Research basis: Multiple
studies of batterer intervention programs in diverse jurisdictions across the country.)

Hydronephrosis facts
What is hydronephrosis?
Hydronephrosis describes the situation where the urine collecting system of the kidney is dilated. This may be a normal variant or it may be due to an underlying illness or medical condition.
Normally, the kidney filters waste products from blood and disposes of it in the urine. The urine drains into individual calyces (single=calyx) that form the renal pelvis. This empties into the ureter, a tube that connects the kidney to the bladder. The urethra is the tube that empties the bladder.
Picture of the kidney and urinary system
While obstruction or blockage is the most frequent cause of hydronephrosis, it may be due to problems that occur congenitally in a fetus (prenatal) or may be a physiologic response to pregnancy. A large percentage of pregnant women develop hydronephrosis or hydroureter. Experts think this is, in part, because of the effects of progesterone on the ureters, which decreases their tone.
Technically, hydronephrosis specifically describes dilation and swelling of the kidney, while the term hydroureter is used to describe swelling of the ureter. Hydronephrosis may be unilateral involving just one kidney or bilateral involving both.
A complication of hydronephrosis that is not physiologic is decreased kidney function. The increased pressure of extra fluid within the kidney decreases the blood filtration rate and may cause structural damage to kidney cells. This decrease in function is often reversible if the underlying condition is corrected but if the duration is prolonged, the damage is often permanent.

Home's on the Range
Victor Vance playing golf at Leaf Links in an attempt to impress Gonzalez

Home's on the Range is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by drug dealer Gonzalez from the Leaf Links golf club, Vice City.
Victor was asked by Gonzalez to meet him at the golf range in Leaf Links. After a short time of playing Gonzalez and a couple of his goons appear in Caddy's. Gonzalez tells him that if he can play golf good enough then maybe they can work together. After playing a round, Victor eventually gets a perfect hit and Gonzalez praises him and the mission is completed.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Press X to begin
- Press to set your shot's power
- Press to set your shot's accuracy
Post mission pager message
Lance Vance: Watch your back Bro'. Word on the street is - Martinez has split from FED protection...
- In order to complete this mission, Victor must time his swing sufficiently to score a direct hit on the buoy before Gonzalez does.
- Attempting to enter the golf course through the main entrance results in Victor being stripped of his weapons, and due to a glitch not all of them are necessarily returned after. To avoid this, it's possible to hop the fence to the left or right of the entrance building. A more profitable option is to obtain a PCJ-600 and approach the golf course from the L-shaped road to the north. A ramp near the bottom of the "L" is a unique stunt jump that lands near the driving range and awards Victor $250 for the trouble (the bike will vanish after the mission, however).
The reward for completing this mission is $1,000. In addition, the optional side-mission Swinger's Club becomes available.

After TV makeover, eatery's first customers report
Gordon Ramsay's remade Prohibition Gastropub opens for business
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Chef Tyler Palagi works in the kitchen at Prohibition Gastropub in Everett on Tuesday evening. The Everett restaurant reopened its doors to the general public Tuesday for the first time since TV chef Gordon Ramsay and his crew from "Kitchen Nightmares" finished filming last week.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
The Prohibition Gastropub's menu got a total makeover, to be shorter and less expensive.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Prohibition Gastropub reopened its doors to the general public Tuesday for the first time since TV chef Gordon Ramsay and his crew from "Kitchen Nightmares" finished filming last week.
Her birthday dinner was made by her favorite chef, Gordon Ramsay, even though he wasn't there to cook it himself.
"It was amazing," the 51-year-old Marysville woman said at Tuesday's reopening of Prohibition Gastropub in downtown Everett. "I've been waiting for this."
She polished off her plate of short rib stroganoff and enjoyed some nibbles of the tender pork shoulder her husband ordered.
Ramsay and his "Kitchen Nightmares" ninja elves took the place by storm last week for an episode of his Fox TV reality series. The bossy British chef revamped the menu and added a splash of color to the struggling restaurant that formerly served up Southern dishes and belly dancers.
He also changed the name from Prohibition Grille to Prohibition Gastropub.
"Basically, it's like opening a brand new business," owner Darlene "Rishi" Brown said. "It's the best thing that ever happened to me."
Early in the evening there were about as many customers as workers. She wasn't concerned. She was still too overwhelmed by it all.
The decor changes are not drastic. Most obvious is the bar, which Ramsay's crew painted deep bright red. The brick walls are accented by jagged gold stripes and brass frames. The tables have new cloth covers.
But the menu got a total makeover. It is shorter and less expensive, with eight appetizers, seven entrees and three desserts, priced at $4 to $16.
Appetizers range from $5 onion soup to $12 duck leg salad. Entrees include pan-seared king salmon for $15, bacon-wrapped meatloaf for $11 and chicken pot pie, also for $11. Ten bucks buys a burger. Desserts are $4 and $5.
The desserts were the only menu choices that met the approval of Miles and Rebecca Stanley of Everett. They sent two dishes back to the kitchen.
"The thing that was good was the bread pudding," Rebecca Stanley said.
"It was to die for," her husband added.
Still, they said they'd stick with their usual buffet restaurants rather than come back.
The Johnsons praised the food, service and price.
"With cocktails, it was less than $50. Our server was wonderful," Dennis Johnson said. "We'll definitely be back."
A Fox TV publicist in New York said the episode is scheduled to run in late February or March.

Sander—do you have a dog?
At the risk of sounding like your New Age in-laws, I can say from experience that I have experienced the healing power of dogs. Taking care of an animal, whether it be dog, cat, rabbit, goat… is good medicine.
I think there are studies about dogs in particular, helping improve the morale of inmates in prisons, and also dogs that visit hospitals and nursing homes and have a healing effect.
I also believe in modern western medicine. I have benefited from doctors and hospitals too. When I need an anti-biotic, I take an anti-biotic. When I need a colon cleanse, I do a colon cleanse.
I hope that you will be able to heal the rift in the relationship with your in-laws. (puppies are good for bringing people together, too. as are kittens)

A Nation of Immigrants
A Nation of Immigrants (Paperback)
Related Editions
Throughout his presidency, John F. Kennedy was passionate about the issue of immigration reform. He believed that America is a nation of people who value both tradition and the exploration of new frontiers, people who deserve the freedom to build better lives for themselves in their adopted homeland. This modern edition of his posthumously published, timeless work—with a new introduction by Senator Edward M. Kennedy and a foreword by Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League—offers the late president's inspiring suggestions for immigration policy and presents a chronology of the main events in the history of immigration in America.
As continued debates on immigration engulf the nation, this paean to the importance of immigrants to our nation's prominence and success is as timely as ever.
About the Author
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) graduated from Harvard with honors in 1940 and served as a P. T. Boat Commander in the South Pacific during World War II. He was decorated twice by the Navy for the serious injuries he suffered when his boat was rammed in two while attacking a Japanese destroyer in the Solomons, and for "his courage, endurance and excellent leadership" in towing injured members of his crew to safety.
A writer and newspaperman, Kennedy in 1940 wrote Why England Slept, a best-selling analysis of England's unpreparedness for war, termed by the New York Times "a notable textbook for our times."
The son of Joseph P. Kennedy, former Ambassador to Great Britain, and the grandson of Boston's one-time Mayor and Congressman John F. Fitzgerald, Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946 at the age of twenty-nine, and re-elected in 1948 and 1950. In 1952 he became the third Democrat ever elected to the Senate from Massachusetts, receiving the largest vote ever polled by a Senator in the history of the state. He was President of the United States from 1961 to 1963. He was the youngest man ever elected to the Oval Office and the first Roman Catholic President.

ELIZABETH CITY — A Greene County native fought the Pasquotank County Board of Elections ruling on residency and won.
The case has received national attention and brought a whirlwind of discussion on students' right to vote and hold office.
Montravias King left his hometown of Snow Hill to pursue studies of political science and pre-law at Elizabeth City State University in the fall semester after graduating from Greene Central High School in 2009.
Living in the dormitory at the historically-black university, he filed with the Board of Elections on July 19 — the last day of filing — with hopes of obtaining one of the two seats open in the city council.
But shortly after, Richard "Pete" Gilbert, who is white and chairman of the Republican Party of Pasquotank County, challenged his candidacy.
"I was the last candidate in the 4th Ward for city council," the black 22-year-old student said. There were six other candidates, including one incumbent, running in the predominantly black ward.
The challenge was based on residency, with Gilbert claiming students are not permanently domiciled on the campus, according to a letter King received.
Gilbert did not return phone calls from The Free Press.
King, the son of Mary and Donnell Best of Snow Hill, maintains that 1704 Weeksville Road — the university's address — is his place of residency. The burden of proof lay in King's hands, according to state law.
The Pasquotank elections board used a statement from Arvin Muller, the ECSU housing director, that said dormitories are temporary residences, King said.
The Pasquotank board ruled in favor of Gilbert.
But King, who had been voting in the county since 2009, was not discouraged.
Obtaining an attorney — Clare Barnett — from the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, he appealed the ruling, taking it to the State Board of Elections.
The appeal hearing was held on Tuesday in the crowded elections board offices in Raleigh.
"The state board," King said, "unanimously overturned the ruling by the Pasquotank Board of Elections (which stated) that I did not provide proof that my residence is 1704 Weeksville Road."
State Board of Elections Executive Director Kim Strach said, "(King) met the burden of proof for residency."
The laws on residency that apply to voters also apply to candidacy.
"(The Pasquotank board) didn't have any legal precedent to say that a dormitory can't be a permanent address," Barnett stated on the Southern Coalition's website. "The N.C. Supreme Court ruled decades ago that a college dormitory is a valid address for voting. Since the statutory requirements for running for office and voting are the same, a college dormitory is also a valid address for running for office."
King maintains his residence year-round at the university, volunteers in the community and intends to remain in Elizabeth City and commute to school when he begins law school after graduating in the spring.
"I would love to work for a nonprofit," he said, "or practice civil rights law."
King was greeted by a number of supporters from Green and Pasquotank counties, as well as across the state, following the state's decision to overturn the former ruling.
"This is very, very important because this is not about me," King said about the decision. "This is about college students across the state, across the country. College students have the right to vote in the town in which they call home."
King's interest in politics began when he was in middle school and was introduced to then-mayor of Snow Hill Don Davis, now state senator for Lenoir, Greene, Pitt and Wayne counties.
"Since then," he said, "Mr. Davis has been a mentor and a friend to me."
King was an avid supporter during Davis' campaign for senator and active as student government president at Greene Central.
He said he chose to attend ECSU over ECU because of it being an HBCU and a small campus with close-knit relationships between professors and students. He was also encouraged by his godmother, Angela Daughety of Kinston.
King's career interest was, at first, in journalism. He helped start a newsletter in middle school called The Ram Page. The first issue compared the money spent on Greene County's three prisons with that spent on education in the county.
"Ever since I was in middle school, ever since I can remember," he said, "I've always wanted to make a difference."
On Thursday, King kicked off his campaign, which he said is about more than simply voter suppression and his constitutional rights.
"I want to be a city council member," he said, "because I believe that the city of Elizabeth City can benefit tremendously from not only my youth, but my experience, my morals and my values. I'm running because I'm willing to fight for our students, our university and our city."

About the Spinal Cord Injury/Disease Research Program
The Spinal Cord Injury/Disease Research Program (SCIRP) provides "seed" grants of up to $250,000 per award for research projects in Missouri that deal with (a) spinal cord injuries or (b) acquired/congenital diseases of the spinal cord ( see "Previously Funded"). Investigators new to the field and experienced investigators in other fields who wish to test novel ideas in anticipation of applying for larger grants elsewhere are especially encouraged to apply.
The SCIRP, which is administered through the UM System, was established by the legislature in 2001 to support research in Missouri that will advance scientific knowledge in the area of spinal cord injuries and congenital or acquired disease processes that affect the spinal cord. A major purpose of the grants, which had originally been limited to $50,000 per year, is to encourage investigators, particularly those new to the field, to do exploratory research and test new ideas, with the expectation that the most promising will justify more substantial support from external funding agencies, either public or private. A new limit of $250,000 per award has just been enacted by the legislature and approved by the governor, and will be effective for proposals submitted after August 28, 2010.
The research supported in past years has ranged from studies of the basic biology of spinal cord injuries/diseases to work on improving the treatment and mobility of persons suffering from such conditions, and important contributions to the field have been made. Some types of pilot studies that are potentially important but could not be conducted because of the earlier $50,000 limit (such as clinical research involving spinal cord injury patients) may now be feasible with the new maximum of $250,000.
This year we expect that several research grants will be awarded by the Board of Curators of the University of Missouri to investigators who are employees or staff members of public or private educational, health care, voluntary health associations or research institutions located in Missouri. The Missouri State Bills that established the SCIRP require that the entire research project will be conducted and completed within the state of Missouri. Based on the recommendation of the Advisory Board of the Spinal Cord Injury Research Program and approval by the University of Missouri Board of Curators, a maximum of up to $250,000 per award will be available for exceptional projects.
In accordance with sections 172.794.1 (5) and 172.790 (4) RSMo Cum. Supp. 2012, the research project, defined as, "any original investigation for the advancement of scientific knowledge in the area of spinal cord injuries and congenital or acquired disease processes", must be conducted in Missouri.
The Advisory Board's objectives for the grants are (1) to bring new investigators, and investigators who are experienced in other areas, into research on spinal cord injuries and diseases, and (2) to enable investigators, particularly those new to the field, to test new ideas on a small scale and then use the pilot data to develop subsequent competitive applications for long term funding from other sources. Investigators "new to the field" may include persons conducting dissertation projects, as well as postdoctoral research appointments for recent graduates. The UM SCIRP funds proposals in a number of areas involving pathological conditions of the spinal cord:
- studies of spinal cord injuries that lead to paralysis, loss of sensation, spasticity, pain, etc.
- research focusing on acquired spinal cord diseases, such as Friedreich's ataxia, multiple sclerosis (MS), poliomyelitis, ALS, SMA, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, cervical spondylosis, and others
- investigations of congenital disorders (i.e. birth defects) affecting the spinal cord, such as spina bifida, scoliosis, Cobb syndrome, spinal AVMs, and others.
Individual awards are not to exceed $250,000 per award and shall expire at the end of one or two years. Expenses should be for research purposes only and not for non-research expenses, including but not limited to items such as graduate student tuition and fees. Costs for overhead (i.e. indirect costs) are not allowed, and the research projects are to be conducted in their entirety within Missouri. For successful proposals, applicants and appropriate fiscal officers will be required to sign a standard agreement/contract form with the SCIRP that will outline the conditions pertaining to funding. Following the first year of funding, recipients may apply for one additional year of funding, provided the total award for the project does not exceed $250,000. Continuation of funding for a second year will depend on the results of the project during the first year and the availability of funds. A final report 90 days at the end of the project and a possible later follow-up report must be submitted to the Advisory Board. Investigators who have received SCIRP funds may not be allowed to reapply at a later time if these reports are not submitted when requested. Finally, the SCIRP is not intended to be a continuous source of funding for investigators, and following a given award and prior to reapplying to the program, it is expected that an investigator will seek funding from other sources, particularly external granting agencies.
The Advisory Board of Spinal Cord Injury Research Program will accept proposals at any time of the year (i.e. no submission deadlines). The awards will be announced following an expedited review, which normally takes about two to three months.

Great Company-Beautiful Work
I am so happy and have gotten so many great compliments on my invitations. I was able to customize most features and match the colors to my scheme. The invites arrived as scheduled and in beautiful box. I felt like a princess opening it. The quality is superb and have told everyone where I got them.
These invitations were amazing. I received them in a timely matter and so far my guest have received them and had nothing but great things to say.
Beautiful product excellent service
I ordered my save the dates, my invitations, with response cards as well as my programs from magnet street! I was a little nervous ordering something I couldn't see but took a leap of faith! I am so glad I did! Everything was beautiful and when they sent my save the dates they sent it along with a gorgeous set up of sample invitations etc. so I would know better what to order for programs and invitations! My invitations and program were beautiful! My only disappointment was my own fault! The font on my response cards was a bit smaller than I had hoped! I called just to inquire about how much it would be to reprint them even though it was my mistake and they offered to reprint all of them for me at 75% off saying that if I wasn't completely happy they wanted to ensure they did whatever necessary to make me happy!
Love them!
I love these invitations. I did mine in ivory, black and gold. They are great, just wish the gold was more glossy. Overall, I am satisfied
Classic Allure Invites
I love this site! It's pretty user-friendly and they ensure you are getting exactly what you want by requesting you approve your design twice. It's a good thing they did that because had they not asked we approve the design before they processed the order, we would have had guests showing up for the ceremony an hour early!! We are extremely happy with the products we ordered and highly recommend Magnet Street!

Jim's Golf Tip
Putting Drills ..... This is the area of the game that does not get enough attention from the everyday player. It is amazing that a player can hit 2 shots 400 yards but they make a 6 on the hole. So the next time you go to the golf course, go to the putting green and practise this: Take 3 balls and place them in a line @ 2 ft., 5ft., and 10ft. You must make all putts consecutively or start over. (Do the drill 3 times) This will make you concentrate on each putt and make you a better putter. Just remember that when you miss a long putt, you have a short putt. (no gimmies)
Putt to a lower score...........

Today it was announced that Occasional Car was bought by Enterprise Holdings. This leaves eGo CarShare as the sole local carshare provider in the Denver – Boulder metro area. It has been exciting to see the continued growth of carsharing as a segment of our transportation system in the Denver region and eGo CarShare is proud to be the first in the region to offer this service.
eGo began over 13 years ago, in Boulder, as a grassroots effort to reduce our carbon footprint, while offering an alternative to personal car ownership. With the assumption that if you have a car parked in your driveway, you will drive it, eGo CarShare pioneered carsharing in Colorado as a means to provide access to transportation while encouraging walking, biking or transit first.
In 2009, eGo accelerated its growth by launching in Denver around the same time as Occasional Car. eGo CarShare and Occasional Car were the sole carshare providers in Denver until 2012 when Enterprise CarShare (previously branded as WeCar) came to the University of Denver campus. During the summer of 2013 other international short-term car rental companies including Zipcar (Avis), car2go and Hertz 24/7 (formerly Hertz On Demand), all came to the Denver market when Denver Public Works approved an on-street parking permit program.
As our transportation system expands and options diversify, eGo CarShare will continue to fulfill our mission to provide and promote alternatives to personal car ownership, thereby reducing the environmental and social impacts associated with motor vehicle use. We are committed to remaining an independent local organization and to providing the lowest carsharing rates possible.
eGo CarShare is the only carshare provider in the Denver-Boulder metro area that has agreed to follow the CarSharing Association's Code of Ethics. The CarSharing Association works to maximize the environmental and social impact of the carsharing industry. Member-organizations are committed to providing sustainable, transit-oriented urban mobility for the benefit of the communities that they serve.
eGo CarShare is also a proud member of the Mile High Business Alliance. We recognize and appreciate the interest many Denver residents have in supporting our local economy and businesses. In celebration of this spirit we are offering FREE memberships to existing Occasional Car members who wish to remain members of a local carshare organization. To get your free membership simply enter promo code "OCLocal" on your application form, you can even keep your keyfob!
Thank you for sharing with us!

The December Myrtle Board of Alderman meeting was a night full of business and visitors, the most prominent visitor being the city's newest representative on the Union County Board of Supervisors, Peanut Pickens. Pickens said he came to show his support for the city of Myrtle and that he would be there for them if they ever needed his assistance.
The meeting began with Joe Davis opening in prayer, and continued with the approval of the minutes from last month. David Brown motioned to approve and Carolyn McCuiston seconded. A motion to pay the monthly bills was brought before the floor, Jeannette Thomas motioned they be paid, and Fleurette Ausburn seconded.
The next presentation was from Precision Engineering. The company made an offer to the city of Myrtle to assist in mapping the current water system in Myrtle. This would make it easier to find shutoff switches and broken lines.
Mayor Joe Rials said this map would be helpful to himself and Myrtle's Water and General Maintenance Supervisor David Peeler who has previously had some difficulties finding the proper shut off valves in times of need.
The alderman were told they would be able to see each type of pipe and valve color-coded and as detailed as they needed the map to be.
Peeler said, "what we are looking for is a document that will help us find pipes easier."
The alderman asked Precision Engineering to come up with a figure of how much this service would cost and present it at their January meeting.
The next order of business was deciding on which company the town would use to construct their new Hawk-shaped walking track. The alderman chose to use Kizer B & M Construction at a total cost of $41,000. The company hopes the track can be finished by the arrival of the New Year.
Ausburn made the motion to accept the bid and David Brown seconded.
During his presentation Peeler said the city's new generator is running fine and is ready for any emergency needs. He also said the city needs to start taking bids on blasting and repainting the city water tower.
Police Chief Jim White asked for permission to buy special light sticks that could be used to direct traffic and help with control in any emergency situations. The alderman also said they felt they needed some of the sticks for city officials use as well. White said he would order some for the city's vehicles.
A page of designs for new city signs was presented, and the alderman picked a design they liked. The toal cost of each sign will be addressed at the next meeting. The signs will be placed on the sides of the road at the entrances to the town. The meeting adjourned until January 3, 2008.

Artisan: Doña Jerónima Juárez
Doña Jerónima Juárez was born in the small village of San Pedro Las Huertas, near Antigua, Guatemala. She stopped attending school after the third grade in order to supplement her family's income by helping her mother sell vegetables in the marketplace.
Doña Jerónima's mother taught her to make worry dolls, a traditional craft in Guatemala. She recalls, "I was trying for 2 months to make the worry dolls; I made one but was not good enough then I undid the dolls and tried again and again and again lots of times."
Her perseverance paid off. Eleven years ago, she was able to found a small workshop, "Artesanias Multicolor," in the Colonial City of La Antigua Guatemala. She is able to employ fifteen artisans in the production of traditional and not-so-traditional handicrafts, including the "Worry Cats," a design she developed exclusively for the Greater Good Network.
With their livelihood no longer tied solely to the agricultural harvest, Doña Jerónima, her mother, and her three daughters continue to turn their traditional crafting skills towards the creation of new and unique designs.

GREENVILLE - A Greenville man will be sentenced later this month after being convicted of abuse of a 10-day-old infant.
On Nov. 28, 2012, the infant was transported and treated for brain and spinal injuries, broken bones and facial bruising at Children's Medical Center in Dayton. Charges were later filed against the parents, Cody R. Cantrell, 22, and Chelsea Hartman, 21, of Greenville, after it was discovered the infant suffered the injuries while in their care.
The father of the child, 22-year-old Cody R. Cantrell, pleaded guilty under the Alford plea Wednesday afternoon in the Darke County Court of Common Pleas to two third degree felony counts of Endangering Children. The Alford plea stems from a 1970 case in North Carolina in which the defendant agrees to being sentenced for the crime, but does not admit guilt. Cantrell was indicted in December of 2012 on one count of Felonious Assault and one count of Endangering Children, felonies of the second degree.
"The state doesn't agree with the defense on the facts in the case and are free to argue and appropriate sentence," stated Darke County Prosecutor Kelly Ormsby. "The defendant is aware the state will be asking for a prison sentence and the defense will be looking for a community control sanction of some kind."
After a pre-sentence investigation, Cantrell will appear for sentencing on Jan. 31 at 2 p.m. He faces a maximum of six years in prison and a $20,000 fine.
"The plea agreement still gives the court the option of a prison sentence which I feel is the best option due to the circumstances in this case," stated lead detective Eric Roberts of the Greenville Police Department after Wednesday's court proceedings.
Chelsea Hartman is scheduled for a jury trial in February on one count of Endangering Children, a third degree felony.
It has been reported that the child, who is now over a year old, is in foster care and doing very well.

'Squatchers' keep an eye out for Bigfoot
Genna Martin / The Herald
John Ray (right), of Marysville, and his sons, Mike, 16, (left) and Christopher, 12, investigate the forest off the Mountain Loop Highway outside of Granite Falls on July 11 for signs of Bigfoot activity. Ray and fellow investigator Rob Parker, of Snohomish, work for the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization checking out areas where Bigfoot activity has been reported. Go to www.HeraldNet.com for more photos of their quest.
Genna Martin / The Herald
A Bigfoot sticker is illuminated on the window of John Ray's car as his sons, Mike and Christopher, sit inside.
John Ray, of Marysville, and Rob Parker, of Snohomish, have spent years hunting in the old-growth forests of Snohomish County for evidence of Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch.
They haven't convinced the scientific community, but the "squatchers" say it's only a matter of time.
Parker, 60, is a former policeman and compliance officer for the state Department of Labor & Industries. He now oversees safety for a Bellevue contractor. Ray, 49, works as a procurement agent and contract administrator for a "large airplane manufacturer," but he didn't want to say which.
Recently, news broke that scientists determined DNA taken from hair samples attributed to Bigfoot in reality was from known animals.
Those who say they've seen one describe a stinky, ape-like creature covered with hair, standing about 10 feet tall.
Parker and Ray understand that they're hunting something most people don't believe exists. But they can't shake the strange things they say they've seen and heard in the woods.
"When you rule out everything that lives in that forest, what are you left with?" Ray said. "You can't say it's not a Sasquatch."
On a July night, under a full moon, Ray and Parker each drove a truck along the Mountain Loop Highway, communicating on radios.
"We're going to see what jumps out in front of us," Ray said. "Hopefully, we'll get something big and bipedal."
They use technology to help them in their hunt: dash cams, thermal imaging cameras, their radios and audio recording equipment.
Ray said he doesn't use night vision cameras because he's "pretty sure" Bigfoot can see the light that's emitted. That's why, he continues, squatchers on Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot" series haven't captured the creature on film. Ray appeared in an episode that aired in January 2013 called "Sasquatch Spies."
Seeing Bigfoot, they say, is a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
Parker said he came upon his first bigfoot by chance. He was fishing at Mount Si in 1969. "There was this godawful, roaring scream," he said. "It was terrifying. It clearly did not want us there."
He said a hairy beast pulled a bush aside and peeked its head out. It stood and roared. At the time, Parker said, he didn't know what to make of it. Later, he read a book about Bigfoot.
"I thought 'son of a gun, it was a Sasquatch. Other people see them too,'" he said.
The pair serve as investigators with the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, a national group trying to prove the creature exists. The group collects reports of purported Sasquatch sightings and vet the claims.
Ray and Parker were invited to join the exclusive group years ago after going squatching with BFRO members.
"They've got to make sure you're not too crazy," Ray joked.
Parker said his investigative experience aids him in stalking Sasquatch and vetting other people's sightings.
"It's easy to tell when someone's telling you a whopper," he said.
Snohomish County, and the Mountain Loop, are considered hot spots for Bigfoot sightings, they said.
Parker has been researching Sasquatch for the past four decades. In the 1970s, he worked with John Green, a retired Canadian journalist, author and leading Sasquatch researcher who is known as "Mr. Bigfoot." Parker also has his own group, Snohomish County Sasquatch.
"If you're not afraid to let people know you're a nut, the reports start coming out of the woodwork," he said.
Parker tracks the action on a topographic map. He and Ray also use the BFRO database to look for trends in activity and narrow their search.
In the woods, the pair let out long, guttural howls and whoops. They also knock on wood, clack rocks and make game calls.
"I want to say 'hey look at these hairless dudes here,'" Ray said. "We're just trying to get them to hang out with us."
Ray started actively hunting the creatures following a BFRO expedition in 2008. A large, dark figure emerged on a ridge near his campsite, he said. "I saw these two huge, glowing red eyes," he said. "They were the size of 50 cent pieces, nine feet off the ground."
The beast looked right at him.
"I just stood there with my mouth wide open," Ray said. "I never expected that would happen. I'm a logical person."
That's when a hobby turned into something more. He was hooked. "You get this thrill of seeing something that doesn't exist," he said.
Ray takes two of his sons, Michael, 16, and Christopher, 12, out on the bigfoot hunts. The boys are bait; children and women pique the creature's curiosity, Ray said.
"They like women and kids because we're not much of a threat," Michael explained. That's why he's glad he's getting older.
"Now, I'm no longer just bait," he said. Still, he said, most of his friends think he's "full of beans" when he tells tales of Sasquatch.
On their July hunt, a full moon illuminated the Mountain Loop. The reputedly elusive creatures don't usually come out on a bright night. But when it comes to squatching, Ray and Parker heed one regard.
"If you weren't there. If you didn't see it. You can't say it happened — and you can't say it didn't," Ray said.
